Parishioners of Church, sixteenth will not forget made by the rector, at Sunday morning's Denunciation of existing conditions in the parish.in various phases formed the prin- cipal part of the and the pa- tronage of the parochial school, the lessness of members of the congregation in leaving church before the of the service, and the growing practice of elope- . ments and marriages by justices of the peace were the chief topics on which the pastor scored his hearers. “The parish school opens one week from Tuesday,’ said Father Coffey, ‘‘and it is none too early to say that the school must have better support and more regular at- tendance the coming year than it received last year. The chief fault in this parish has been the irregularity of attendance, and this is a matter which the parents could remedy in nearly every case. “Excuses are offered for the nonatten- dance of children which would not be lis- tened to in a public school. Monday is washday, so the children stay at home. Tuesday is ironing day, and so they are needed at home on that day. Wednesday some relatives come in from the country, and the children must stay at home to as- sist in receiving them. Thursday there are errands downtown which the children must do, and so they are absent. Friday it might seem that no excuse would remain, but it is often found that the children are s0 tired from their exertions of the pre- vious four days that going to school 1s out of the question. And Saturday is the regular weekly holiday. Parents must get a better realization of their duty than this, or their children will grow up in ignorance. “T have often told some of you individual- ly what T think of the bad practice of go- ing out of church before the service is fin- ished. It seems that many of the congre- gation, especially the voung ladies, cannot wait until the benediction is pronounced, but must go out in one of the most selemn parts of the whole service, to get home to Sunday dinner tive or ten minutes earlier. This is certainly prompted by irreverence and a failure to understand what the bene- diction means. “A few Sundays ago T stood outside the church shortly before the close of the serv- ice, and as the young peop'!e came out and saw me they hurried back into church ngain, as if | were a policeman waiting to arrest them. But the next Sunday it was as bad as ever. “Tt ts the same lack of religious feeling that causes so our young people to be married by justices of the peace in- stead «of by the priest in conformity with the rules of the church. There are no words strong enough to be used in condem- nation of such proceeding among those who call themselves Catholics.’’ The financial affairs of the church were also touched on by Father. Coffey, who dwelt the impossibilitv of meeting the Obligations of the church from the pew rentals, and urged the congregation to at- tend the forthcoming parish picnic to raise money for paving off the debt of the church. CUPID AND MONEY CONFUSED ee oe = ee dg. C. Edmonds Will Be Taken Back to Clarksville, Tenn., to Meet Sev- eral Ugly Accusations. Chief Robinson of the Clarksville, Tenn., police department, is expected at the Four Courts Monday evening to take J. Cc. Ed- monds, a prisoner, back home with him. Robinson was arrested a few days ago at i411 Chestnut street. At the time he was in the company cf Mrs. Oscar Hunt of Clarksville. Dispatches from that place say he eloped with Mrs. Hunt, at whose home he board- ed. They sav he is also wanted there for securing money under false pretenses. It seems that Edmonécs left Clarksville a month ago, announcing that he was going to Louisville to collect some money that had been left him by an aunt. When he. failed to return it was thought he had /! rejoined his wife and children at KEvans- ville, Ind. When Mrs. Hunt left her husband's home last Monday night, people who had known of the friendly relations existing between her and Edmonds, put detectives on the trail, with the result that Mdmonds was found in 8&t. Louis. £Foon discourse, Care- close many of or a ee HIBERNIANS -COUNTY BOARD Re em me Propose to Establish a Lapor Bureau and to Give Archbishop Kain a Reception. At the meeting of the county board of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Sunday, two important resolutions introduced by Judge Thomas Morris were adopted. One of them provides for the establish- ment of a labor bureau by the Irish soci- eties of St. Louis. Its Object will be to secure positions for members of these so- cleties and to be so conducted that the so- cieties will guarantee the worth of the in- dividual they recommend to the employer. it is thought this will not only be a good thing for the members of the various so- cleties, but also an incentive for young men to join them. : The other resolution provided for a re- ception to be given Archbishop Kain on his return to St. Louis.

In the little Missouri town of Greenfield a pretty child 1s erying for its mother, and somewhere, it may be in St. Louis, that mother is secreted—unless it be that death has claimed her—unmindful of the cries of ‘““‘Mamma!”’ which bring tears to the eyes of her devoted friend. And still the mystery deepens concerning the disappearance of Mrs. Kate M. Cortinez. That child is hers. It is old enough to know the meaning of the word ‘‘mother.’”’ It knows that its mother was expected at Greenfield on a visit last week, and that she did not appear. It knows that a is wrong, but what that something is, its lit- tle mind is incapable of comprehending, and the motherly friend who has its keeping is powerless to explain. She does not know. Mrs. Cortinez disappeared in a city of strangers. She came to St. Louis from Gal- — Tex., to seek employment as a mil- ner. One week ago today she wrote to Mrs. Levin W. Schaefer of Greenefild, Mo., who has her child in keeping, that she would Visit her early last week. Mrs. Cortjnez left the boarding house of Mrs. MecDefmott at 1507 Locust street, to mail the letter tonvéying this Information. She never returned. She was in poor circumstances. That mich was evident. Who can say what dark thoughts were in her mind as she waiked toward the mall box? Not one ar- ticle of her meager possessions did she take with her. She even left behind her a new picture of her beautiful baby—the last tie that bound her to the memory of her young husband, who died a year ago. She had not one friend, and hardly an ac- quaintance in a city of almost 690,000 peo- ple She had pawned her cuff buttons be- fore she left Galveston.

Later she induced her to board at the place she might select in St. Louis, and they went to Mrs. McDer- mott’s. Later in the day Mrs. Cortinez engaged a room at the house of Mrs. (raig at 1535 Locust street. She was to have slept there last Monday night. At 5 o'clock that afternoon she peared. Since then no trace of her has been found A letter for her came from Green- field, Mo., and it is still unopened. Mrs. Mocre of Galveston, who had been a patron of Mrs. Cortinez when she kept a milinery store in that icty, and who is now visiting in St. Louis on Delmar avenue, interested herself in the case and caused the hospitals and other public institutions to be searched, but there was not the slightest clew to the whereabouts or the fate of the missing young woman. Her mother, Mrs. Byron, who resides in Galveston, has been informed of the facts concerning her daughter's disappearance. No reply has been received. This fact is causing much comment in the two board- ing houses where Mrs. Cortinez was known. The St. Louis police are wrestling with the problem, with little hope of solution. The theory of suicide is freely advanced by many conversant with the case, but Mrs. McDermott and Mrs. Craig will have none of it. They not only believe that Mrs. Cortinez is alive, but that she is a go00d woman and will rewirn. They recall that the voung woman complained of a pain in her stomach on the day of her ar- rival in St. Louis, and belleve that she has sought the benefit of care and quiet in some secluded place, hoping to pay for the treatment as soon as she shall have re- covered. disap- field wails for the voung mother who comes not and may never come, and the myster. | of the disappearance of Kate Cortinez deep- ens with the passing hours.

Elizabeth Bruer returns from where she went two weeks ago to pass a month with relatives, she will find that burglars have forced their way into her residence at 3136 Franklin avenue and carried away many of her val- uables. The robbery occurred Tuesday night, but was not discovered until next day when Joseph J.

All of the dainty little pieces of bric-a- brac that Mr. Long had noticed there on former occasions, were gone. @he floor was strewn with such articles as the thieves did not care to take. The dining room, too, had suffered. The drawers to the sideboard had been broken open and all of the silverware and table linen were gone. The upstairs was as thoroughly looted as were the lower floors. Dresser drawers had been emptied and wardrobes’ searched. Such articles as the thieves did ‘not care to take with them were thrown on a pile in the center of the room. As Mrs. Bruer was not at home it was impossible for the policeman make a list of the articles that were taken. Mr. Long knew that Mrs. Bruer had gone to Kansas City for a visit, but she had not left any street address and he could not inform her of her misfortune.

Young Zachary’s mishap was unparal- leled in the history of local or suburban ac- cidents. It is a subect of exceptional com- ment just now in view of the fact that it oc- curred in a Chinese laundry.

The sudden contact shattered the bowl, scattered the rice all over the little kitchen and Pang Sue's Oriental garments and near- ly frightened their owner into hysterics. Pang lost no time in fleeing from his stronghold in search of a doctor when he saw that his unexpected guest was bleeding. The physician found that the boy's cheek was badly cut by the glass of the skylight. Six stitches were necessary to sew up the gash. He was carried into his home, and will be out in a few days. His friends agree that Pang Sue's bow! of rice probably saved his life.

He declares his belief that the Kaiser is half crazy. ‘At the moment I left home the gov- ernment was desirous of being as peace- ful aS possible. I do not believe the report that Russia has declared war on China. It is all rumur. There was a very strong feeling against war and the dismember- ment of China. The German influence is very great in China, and I must say it is a very bad influence, for the Germans have not much to risk there and everything to gain. They began by taking the Bay of Kiao-Chow and threatening China. “It is the object of Germany to weaken Russia, giving us many disagreeable ques- tions. Before we wefe great friends with the ‘Chinese. Germany went to the Far East to do harm to Russia and she created difficulties in Turkey and afterward in the Far East. “There was a very strong anti-German feeling in Russia when I left, so strong that many ae ay om articles were against Ger- many. The German ambassador went to the foreign office and asked that It be pro- hibited from speaking against Germany. “TI learn from the very best source that the dismemberment of China is not the wish of our government. “We could have annexed Manchura long ago because the people hate the Chinese and would be glad to be Russian sub- jects. ‘“T am sure that every year, if China is dismembered, you will see new insurrec- tions in every province. The Chinese will be stronger when divided. They will be more dangerous, I mean that the awaken- ing of China is a dangerous thing both economically and politically.’”’ Prince Oukhtomsky said he thought Li Hung Chang was to be trusted, although he has little liking for foreigners, hated the Japanese and was a thorough Chinese patriot. “The Emperor of Germany, in my opin- ion. is half crazy,’ said the prince, ‘and perhaps he would like to have the Philip- pines and many things else.

COLONIAL GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA. ONE WAS Charged With Disturbing the Peace, He Begged That He Might Be Allowed to Die in the Workhouse. . William FE. Spotswood, sometime gentle- man and linen! descendant of Gov. Sir William Spotswood, king's regent in the colony of Virginia long before the Revolu- tionary war, will go to the workhouse un- less some one who vererates that proud blood pays a paltry fine of $20. An attorney who knows Spotswood’s con- nections, but who declines to permit his name to be coupled with that of the wreck who tottered before Judge Sidener Monday morning in the police court, told the Post- Dispatch that there was no shadow ot doubt as to the truth of the miserable prisoner's blue-blooded ancestry. As his tall, well-molded figure above the loungers of the courtroom. Spots- wood related his story of a swift downfall in the polished speech of the Spotswood family. A mellifuous voice using words so choice that the court and clerks were agape with their spell, confessed the curse of whisky. Dark-brown eyes that once were handsome and even now flashed with pride were half closed by huge welts that told of the fight which brought him betore the bar. ra Spotswood's story is a pitiable one. He cume to St. Louis about a year ago with money in his pocket and an invention for the manufacture of quilts. He was robbed soon after arriving in the city and_ his case was investigated at the time by (Chief Desmond. The money, about $500, was never recovered. Spotswood went to clerk- ing in third-rate hotels and lodging houses. le has recently been acting as night clerk for Mrs. Anna Cable who keeps a lodging house above the Golden Lion, cor- ner of Pine and Seventh. He become in- toxicated Sunday and quarreled with his employer. She accused him in a warrant of slapping her face. Officer Michael Hendy, who arrested the belligerent wreck of aristocracy, swore that he had resisted him when he undertook to remove him to the Four Courts. Spotswood was subdued and hence his battered eyes. He has an only sister, Episcopal clergyman. ‘Tl have no one else in cares what becomes of me, your honor,” said the prisoner. ‘“‘I have no money. I was robbed when first I arrived in your fair city and since then drink has seized me in its thrall. It’s no use to struggle. I realize that I am gone. If I go to the workhouse I hope they will kill me there. T am a failure in life, a disgrace to my progenitors and a miserable burden and obstacle to the com- munity in which my lot is cast. “When T reached St. Louis [ owned a pat- ent for the manufacture of quilts, out of which hoped to make some money. This has passed away from me almost entirely. 1 am practically a beggar and worse. I have within me the demon for drink which aman gets who spends many years on the frontier. The frontier was my ruin. “Tama wreck, your honor, and IT hope I will die in the workhouse, so vou will never be bothered by my presence again.” ‘T will fine you $10 for disturbing the peace of Mrs. Cable and the same amount for resisting an ofticer,”’ said the court. Spotswood bowed low and strode from the room to the cage. towered the wife of an the world who WOMAN FLOATS 750 MILES Thrilling Voyage of a Chicago D.0c- tor’s Wife on a Raft on the Koyukuk River. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 27.—Nome, Alaska, advices say that Mrs. Hewitt, wife of Dr. Hewitt, a Chicago physician, alone floated down the mysterious Koyukuk river, a dis- tance of 750 miles. an improvised log raft.

When they reached Fort Hamilton they heard of rich lacer strikes at the head of Koyukuk river. ‘hey, with their purty. urranged to strike across hundreds of miles of barren wilder- ness. After 30 days of traveling thev reached the Koyukuk, but found the ice still fast, Mrs. tlewitt started out with a dog team exploring and got lost. Tuckily she reached a deserted Indian lean-to. intil nearly the first of June iast year she remained alone in the wilderness of snow andice. When the June sun succeed- ed in breaking up the river she made a raft. With a stock of moose meat she started down the river on a 750-mile trip. After 26 days of perils and sufferings she reached the Yukon river and was picked up by the steamer Hanna, which sighted her on the day after she reached the Yu- kon. The meeting at. home between wife and husband was pathetic. Brave Mrs. Hlewitt is prostrated and may not recover. Dr. Carothers and the rest of the party succeeded in getting small boats after the ice broke up and reached the Yukon. tl a ee FUNERAL OF WM. M RUNYAN Nephew of William R.

Run- on HIMSELF IN- HEAD WHILE AT BENTON PARK WILL Henry Funk, Sr., a tailor, living at 2919 Salina street, fired a pistol ball through nis head while sitting in the tunnel in Benton Park, early Monday morning. He wili die, say the physicians at the City Hospital. Funk has lived with his son Henry at 29919 Salina street for many years. The family can assign no reason for the at- tempted suicide. The old man left home at 6 o'clock Mon- day morning. He went directly to the park. ° With rare judgment he chose the tunnel as the place to seek his death unobserved. A crimson pool in the east seat midway of the tunnel shows where he sat and fired the shot. The spent bullet was picked up near bY. It seemed to craze, not kill. With his brain oozing from a temple wound Funk stag- gered around in the Park for perhaps 19 minutes. By winding paths he reached a water tap directly across the park and washed his wound. Then he staggered back through the park, crossed the street and sat on the doorstep of Mrs. Josephine Sigg of 2101 Arsenal street. Mrs. Sigg saw the man was wounded and PROBABLY DIE HENRY FUNK, SR. bathed his. head in a basin. Without at- tempting to explain Funk walked to McNair and Pestalozzi street seeking to reach his home. On the way he secured a piece of ice from a wagon and held it to his wound. He met Patrolman Severen. “A woman—shot—l’m hurt,’’ he said in- coherently. The gy pe took the old man to the South Side Dispensary and two the City Hos- vital. ‘ A revolver with three exploded shells and the barrel clotted was found in his pocket. Funk admitted he shot himself, but did not give a reason for the deed. He is 57 years old and a member of the Concordia Turn- verein. He is secretary of the German Lutheran Church near his home. He was 411 Satur- day but did not seem despondent. At the hospital Funk talked incoherently. The physicians said they believed the wound would prove fatal. Funk was hurried to the operating table and the surgeons began work on him at once. Officer Severen, who found Funk at Pes- talozzi street and McNair avenue, did not know that Funk had shot himself. He be- lieved that he had been shot by another. The policeman was not aware that Funk had a revolver in his pocket until Ambu- lance Driver McCune found it. Funk. the officer said, had shot himself half an hour before he was found and had walked through the streets with blood streaming from the wound. ——-+-- DAYTON STREET COURT HAD i20 PRISONERS. JUDGE ROBERTSON WAS BUSY. Sunday was a purple day in certain locali- ties of St. Lohis, according to the physical appearance of some 120 persons who ap- peared as defendants in the Dayton Street Police Court Monday morning. When Judge Robertson ascended the bench he turned to Marshal Gus Weinel and said: ‘“‘Are all the prisoners present?” ‘‘No, your honor,’’ was the reply, ‘‘the ca- boose won't hold them; we have three cells full downstairs.” “Whew! eaculated the udge. Then he is- sued orders to have all the windows and doors opened. The odor of liniment per- meated the courtroom. An hour passed and a recess was taken to get the other prisoners into court. All sorts and conditions of people were ar- raigned for violating the city ordinaces. The bluecoats, who occupied three rows of seats, were about the only spectators who iooked happy. Each case, be it remembered, where costs are taken or bonds issued, nets their relief association 50 cents. The case that attracted the chief attention of the court was that in which Mrs. Mary Bridgman, her son, John, and Miss Molly Buckner, were summoned for disturbing each other's peace. The trio quarreled Sun- day at their abode on Broadway and Mul- lanphy street, and as a result each wore bandages about the head and a copious sup- ply of sticking plaster on the face. Mrs. Bridgman had a black eye, and her hoy Was similarly ornamented. it was their first appearance in police court. Miss Buck- ner acted as her own lawyer. Testimony was to the effect that there was a social gathering at Miss Buckner's house, and MrssBridgman and John appeared as guests, though the hostess alleged they were net invited. This led to the rumpus. On the stand Mrs. Bridgman charged that the Buckner woman belabored her with a soda bottle. John said he fared similarly at the hands of the young woman, while the latter vowed the mother and son pulled her hair and pummeled her with their fists. Judgc Robertson decided that Miss Buck- new was the agressor and fined her $10. Bridgman and his mother were discharged. CEN.

While her children were on the way to St. John’s Hospital Sunday night to inform her of the arranement which they had made to take her home and place her in a nurse’s care, Mrs. Josephine Sarber fell to her death from a third story window in the hallway of the hospital. When the children arrived they learned of their mother’s shocking death. Mrs. Sarber had been a patient at St. John’s since Aug. 16. Her sister, Miss Anna O'Keefe, and her son, Arthur Sarber, con- duct a notion store at 2012 Franklin avenue. A married daughter, Mrs. Vrieda Thes, lives at 1235 Clara avenue. and a youner son, Eu- gene, at 1725 North Thirteenth street. For a week past Mr. Sarber had been planning to move his mother from the hos- pital to a place near his own rooms, where he and his aunt could see her frequently during the day. Sunday he completed these plans by renting a pleasant room directly above his own, and engaging a trained nurse to stay with the sick woman constantly. Sunday night, with Mrs. Thies and Miss O'Keefe, he went to the hospital to tell his mother of the arranements made by him. When the trio reached the hospital they found a state of excitement prevailing. A voman had been killed by a fall window, they were told, and her body had just been taken within. A few inquiries revealed to them that it was Mrs. Sarber who had met death a fev minutes before their arrival. “I don't think there could have been any- thing intentional about mother’s death,” fré mai FELL TO HER DEATH FROM ST. JOHN’S HOSPITAL WHILE IN DELIRIUM MRS. JOSEPHINE SARBER. said Arthur Sarber Monday morning. “If she had desired to kill herself by leaping from a window, there were two windows in her own room. ‘Then, too, the position in which she fell, with her head downward, would seem to show that she stumbled over the casing instead of leaping out purposely. She was undoubtedly in a state of delirium, caused by the drugs which it had been nec- essary to give her.’’ Mrs. Sarber's body was taken to a North St. Louis undertaking establishment, and will be sent to Richmond, O., her former home. She was 55 years old. A sister, Mrs. Ilelen Quinlan, died of heart disease two years ago, following the shock caused by learning that her millinery store had been robbed. nAWES MR. JOHNSON ——, — Says Prosecutor Must Attach Slot Machines. WILL DEMAND WARRANTS. KEEPERS SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH FELONY. President of the Police Board Says the Machine is Mechanical Roulette and Should Be Prosecuted as Such. Harry B. Hawes, president of the police board, has taken up the slot machine evi! and has reached the conclusion that As- sistant Prosecuting Aitorney Johnson is the official who should act against the of- fenders. tie has caused Chief Campbell to gather evidence against the proprictors of slot ma- chimes and he has looked up the law, and the result will be an application to Mr. Johnson for warrants against keepers of the machines under the law which makes gambling and the keeping of gambling de- vices a felony. This law is better known as the Johnson law, from its author, Charles P. Johnson, a brother of the official to whom the ap- plication will be made. To the Post-Dispatch Monday Mr. Hawes said: “The slot machine is a gambling device, and its operation is one of the worst forms of gambling. It is nothing more nor less than mechanical roulette, which comes under the provisions ot the Johnson law. | believe that the proper procedure is. to prosecute the men who operate them machines, not the machines. To prosecute the machine is merely to fight the wina. “Chief Campbell informs me that he Is unable to secure from Mr. Johnson the proper warrants to suppress this gambling. where Mr. Johnson has they have been based on the Newberry law, which prohibits gam- bling devices in saloons. Now, in my judgment the issuance of warrants under this law is a mistake, because it leaves out the slot machines that may be operated outside saloons. “The warrants should be issued under the He savs also that issued warrants, dividend of 50) | ter, Johnson law, and | am confident that they would succeed, The chief has evidence showing that the Johnson law is daily be- ing violated by the use of these machines in all parts of the city. “Mr. Johnson has said that it is my duty to condemn the machines and destroy them, under that section of the police law which provides that the president of the bourd shall destroy gambling devices. “The power conferred by that section was never exercised except in one instance, under the old police law, and the courts decided the section of the law was unh- constitutional. My lawyer advises me that the section of the new law which confers the same power upon me is invalid “Iflowever. to settle that matter, I shall ask the advice of the city counsellor. But whv should Mr. Johnson be so anxious to point out my duty to destroy an inanimate machine when the law is so plain against the human offenders”? ‘‘Resides section 7710 of the statutes gives the court before which such cases are tried i ' ' ! t jauthority to ithe duty of the police department to arrest destroy the machines.

The London Star, which has up to this time not twinkled on this side of the Atlantic, is quoted as saying that the reason why American women cannot wear British-made hose is that “American girls have skeleton legs.” The complaint in regard to the British-made hose was that they were not long enough for American limbs. This being so, a little geometrical calculation will bring one to the conclusion that the British damsel’s underpinning cannot be so thick as that of Americans. In plain language, if English girls had normal sized legs, and if the legs of Yankee girls were indeed skeleton in shape, the British-made stocking Would come up too high. Is not this a plain proposition? But why get personal? The probability is that the girls of both nations have shapely limbs. But the lines of beauty are not identical. Hence the lack of fit in stockings. = = a” a Akron, O., was for a long time the home of John Brown.

Humidity, in the lariguage of the Weather Bureau, is damp- ness in the atmosphere. This dampness hurts us, in hot weather, by retarding perspiration. Nature’s method of cool- ing the human body is through the evaporation that accom- panies perspiration. While the atmosphere is dry, evapora- tion from the human body goes on rapidly and we keep cool. But as the air becomes saturated with moisture, evaporation of perspiration is slower and nature’s work becomes harder. The lesson seems to be that we should aid evaporation by avoiding places where there is no circulation of air. Even with a damp atmosphere evaporation will take place if the air is in constant motion. Don’t sit In drafts, but see that you get all the fresh air possible. a> > > eS Enough money has been made in hogging,in Chicago to build whole blocks of big churches. i i A ABOUT PROFANITY. A Washington police justice last week dismissed a charge of profanity lodged against a man who swore at a street car cfnductor. ; The learned judge held that, although there was an oridf- nance against profanity, in this case the provocation was ‘great and therefore the offense was excusable. Nevertheless profanity is never excusable. It mAdy not be unlawful. In the view of Many worthy people it may not be immoral. But that it is inexcusable on the ground of good manners, good taste and a proper sense of self-respect cannot be questioned. The spontaneous vocabulary of a man is a reflection of his real self. By his speech ye shall know him. The old saying, *4n vino veritas,” is terribly true. When @ geptieman takes too much wine he still speaks like a gentleman. When a cad is in his cups he will talk like a cad, though in his sober moments, when he is on guard, he is a model of correct dis- course and a Chesterfield in manner. Likewise when a man is in a passion, when he forgets himself in the heat of anger, his speech will betray his vulgarity if he is vulgar, or pro- claim his purity if he is pureminded. Passion is the great revealer. There is a spirit in language which makes its way into the character. The habitual employment of the purest vocabulary will gradually refine the coarsest, vulgarest character. Habit is all powerful. The coarse man beginning the practice of propriety in his speech will at first seem to be what he is not, but if he perseveres he will come to be what he desires & seem. Then, when passion consumes him he will be in no danger of lowering himself in his own eyes or in the estima- tion of others. He will still be a man. >> re |e The wonderful progress of St. Louis, so long handicapped by a corrupt city’ government, is an evidence of its great Vitality and an assurance of future achievements. = * — RETIRE TRUST MEN. The analysis of returns from nominating conventions in -_-_— candidates a good index of public sentiment. The members of the present Legislature who voted for the St. Louis street railway trust bill are coming to grief. This is the plain meaning of the events of the last few weeks. over the State it is acknowledged that the record of members souri are opposed to trusts and will not confide in men who help create them. Voters should keep this in mind on election day. It is the one commanding issue in State politics. Every candidate who had a hand in this legislation or who will not give satis- factory assurances of good conduct should be defeated, no matter what his politics may be. If the people of Missouri mean what they say when they demand the suppression of monopoly, let them make good their word at the ballot box. That they intend to do so is pretty evident from the Democratic nominations already made. rr The cry of ‘empire’ in American politics is by no means new. It will be recalled that they sprung the “Cesarism’”’ yell when the late Gen. Grant was running for his second term of the Presidency, and Carl Schurz was one of the principal yowlers.—Washington Post. The situation when Grant was running for President was not what it is now. Leading Republican statesmen were not writing and speaking energetically against imperialism. When an effort was made to give Gen. Grant a third term, the American people, much as they trusted the hero of Appomat- tox, were afraid to consent. Oe The Health Department should compel the sanitary com- pany to collect all garbage, whether the “legal receptacle” ordinance is complied with or not. Uncollected garbage may cause ill-health and death, against which the Health De- partment is paid to fight. If the Hon. Richard Dalton, because of the political chican- ery alleged to have prevented his nomination for Governor, is now supporting Flory, he will not be severely blamed. Mr. Dalton is a little late in his action, but chicanery is deserving of rebuke at all times. >>. wwe Missouri has set every other State a good example in re- tiring so many of her corrupt legislators. The record of every member of the Legislature should be the guide of the voter and it should be given full publicity, that justice may be done in all cases. —_—__—_——___—_ $@@ If it is true that the Republican poll just completed shows that Indiana is likely to go Democratic by 18,000 majority, the fact may serve to change the prevailing ‘apathy.’ Perhaps Mr. Hanna himself is working this scare in order to get more “beans.” It is no worse for a member of the Legislature to put his relatives at the public crib than it is for presidents, gov- ernors and mayors to so provide for kinsmen. But no states- man should be permitted to so abuse his office. ooo Some of the game wardens of Illinois are chasing the mur- derers of song-birds.

The birth of two white lions in New Jersey is no omen of peace. A white lion’s appetite for lamb cannot differ much from that of the tawny variety. After walking and driving with Princes in Paris, Million- aire Clark of Montana may care less for the honor of an elec- tion to the United States Senate.

Count Boni Castellane finds the Abdul Hamid system pre- ferable to any other in dealing with creditors, but an enraged creditor would not be allowed to confront Abdul and threaten to pulverize his bones. The automobile stands quietly without being hitched weighted. It does not clamber upon the sidewalk. The small boy cannot torment it, and the most persistent fly is impo- tent to disturb it.

Only’’—~ And the discontented look came back into the blue eyes that Phil Courtenay swore by, and that had played havoc with his heart until he had conquered their owner. Mrs. Clifford looked inquiringly. “Only what, Jennie?’ “If I didn’t have to wear flowers, mam- ma, with it! I'm just dying for jewels—a diamond cross and earrings.”’ Mrs. Clifford gave an exclamation of as- tonishment. “Jennie! A diamond cross and earrings! The idea! Why don’t you wish for a queen's crown? How silly to waste even a thought on such an absolute impossibility!’’ Jennie only smiled with,a little more de- fiance itn her blue eyes. “But I do wish for them, mamma, and I think I ought to have them, too.

Her mother sighed. “And,”” Jennie went on, “I can easy enough have them, mamma. I'll hire them for the occasion. S The suggestion took Mrs. Clifford’s breath away. “Jennie! Hire them! Wear hired jewels— hired finery? Surely you are not-in earnest when you propose such an unwomanly thing? Besides, Jennie, Philip would be in- dignant.”’ Jennie’s cheek flushed. “TI will tell him, if he says a word, that it is because his mirgriy old uncle refuses to give me any, and there'll not be any- body at the ball without ornaments." Of all the beautiful women in the ball- room that evening Jennie Clifford was un- doubtedly the belle. Her eyes sparkled even brighter than the shining brillianta that swung from her ears and lay on her bosom, For she had accomplished her desire and hired the diamonds. Her cloak had hidden them when Phil issed her on entering the carriage for the ball. He was amazed to see her in the or- naments. So was Mr. Bemerton, who gave a dissatisfied “‘Humph” and walked away: When they stood before their coupe to go home Mr. Bemerton was there. He held a Russian leather casket in his hand. “I hurried Mappin's to ve you these,”’ he said, opening the lid and reveal- ing a magnificen cross of diamonds, a brooch and earrings, a star for the hair and a bracelet lying on their bed of black velvet, “but you won't need them now, you have a set.’”’ “How glorious!” cried Jennie; then the shame of her position forced hot tears from her eyes. “T'll give them to Fletcher's daughter,” said Mr. Bemerton, “she hasn't any.” “IT can overlook your foolish pride, Jen- nie,”” said Philip later in Mrs. Clifford’s parlor,” “for I know you will never repeat the fault. I will forgive you, but my uncle never will.’’ (“= y 0} | CORN CHOWDER.—Cut enough green corn from the ‘cob to make a quart; pare and slice one quart of potatoes; pare anc slice two onions. Cut half a pound of pork in slices and fry until brown; then remove the pork and fry the onions tin the fat. Put the potatoes and corn into the kettle in layers, sprinkle each layer with salt, pepper and flour. Use half a teas- poonful of pepper, one and a half table- spoonfuls of salt and three of flour. Place the gravy strainer on the vegetables, and turn the onions and pork fat into it, and with a spoon press the juice through; then slowly pour one and one-fourth quarts of boiling water through the strainer, rubbing as much onion through as possible. Take out the strainer, cover the kettle, and boil gently for 20 minutes. Mix three table- spoonfuls of flour with a little milk, and when perfectly smooth add a pint and a half of rich milk. Stir this into the boiling chowder. Then add six crackers split and dipped for a minute in cold water. Put on the cover, boil up once and serve. TOMATO TOAST.—Stew tomatoes, sea- soning them with salt, pepper, a little sugar, and generously with butter, cooking down until they look and taste rich. Send to the table with a plate of crisp buttered toast. In serving, cover a slice of toast thickly with the tomato on small plates.

Put them, a few at a time, into a wire basket and plunge them down into boiling water; do not allow them to remain a moment or they will soften; ve- move the skins. Put a layer of these toma- toes in the bottom of a porcelain-lined ket- tle, put over them the given amount of su- gar, stand them on the back part of the stove over a very moderate heat; watch them as the sugar melts but do not disturb them; stew gently until the sugar appears to have thoroughly penetrated the toma- toes, then lift them, one at a.time, with a fork, spread them out on dishes and in the oven or sun, sprinkling from time to time with granulated sugar and turning them once or twice. When perfectly dry pack them into tin boxes between layers of granulated sugar in waxed paper. These like all other sun-dried or sun-preserved fruits, must not be kept out while the dew is falling, or on a damp day. SPICED PICKLE SALMON.+Boil a sal- mon weighing from two and a half to three pounds, take away the bone and set asjde to cool. Take equal quantities of good vinegar and the liquor in which the fish was boiled, sufficient to cover the fish, and one dozen whole cloves, two bay leaves, one dozen small blades of mace, @ne tea- spoonful of pepper, one teaspoonful of all- spice and one teaspoonful of salt.

S.—If you cannot find any preacher to interpret the pictures I know one; he lost his pulpit trying to interpret Christ to his congregation. Social Democratic Policy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In a recent issue of the Post-Dispatch C, E. T. takes exception to the fact that in their speeches the Social Democratic orators lay particular stress upon their opposition to ryan. He intimates that Republican campaign money may be responsible for this opposition. The unsupported assertion that Marts Hanna would contribute towards the sup- port of the socialist movement is not worthy of space necessary for a denial. There are several reasons why Soctalists devote more effort in opposing bevan than they do McKinley. Only a few weeks ago every paper in the country—Republican and Democratic alike—published the announce- ment that the Social Democratic candidate Kkugene V. Debs, had withdrawn in favor of Bryan.

EXCELLENT CARD FOR MONDAY. Two Annies, Terralene, Lexell, Alizs Turner and La Desirious Ars Among the Probable Winners. The talent and ‘‘knights of the chalk” will resume their battle on Monday for the eighty-eighth time of the meeting. The * bookies will have to keep awake, for, be- ing the last of the meeting, the out-of-town players are all after ‘‘get-away’ money. The card on Monday contains good races, and favorites should win majority of the races. In the opening event John Bratton’s Lex- ell looks pounds the best. Jesse Mathews has been riding Bratton’s horses recently, and if he is astride Lexell his victory is an assured fact. Good Night and Mr. Rose look the best of the remainder of the field and should finish as named behind Lexell. Terralene looks to be in a soft spot in the second race. El Dermin and Kate Freeman are the only other starters who appear to have a chance and will follow the first named home. The youngsters scheduled to go will probably be beaten. They have not shown the form they should have when racing against aged horses and will be left out of the selection. A sextet of good performers will be Start- er Bruen's guests in the third race. Two Annies figures the best of the lot and will be the selection. With 91 pounds up and a good boy to pilot her she should prove the best bet of the day. Eleanor Holmes and Meddlesome are the best of the others and should finish behind Two Annies as named. Barly Bird has an outside chance and may soacibly upset all calculations. Only a whist party will sport silk in the Secarth race of the day. Though the ma- jority of the handicappers lean toward Za- zel and pick him as a mortal cinch, Alice Turner will be the selection for first place. The Turner mare is as game as they make them and she will in all probability tow- rope her field. Zazel should be able to stall off the rush of Thrive, who has not started since early in the meeting and whose form is not known. ~_ With 100 pounds on his back Grantor looks like ‘“‘money in the bank’”’ in the fifth race. Tom Collins should have — enough to stall off the rush of Lasso for the place. In the concluding event of the day seven juveniles will be jockeyed to go five furlongs for the purse. W. W. Darden’s La Desirious will be the selection to win. Margaret F. should beat Birdie Stone for second money. GOLF TOURNEY FOR WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP W7ill Begin Tuesday on the Shinnecock Hill Club’s Course at South- hampton, Mass.—Miss Gene- vieve Hecker the Favorite, but Easterners Expect Miss Hoyt to Win. NIEW YORK, Aug. 27.—By far the most in- teresting championship tournament ever held by the Women’s Golf Association of America wii:l begin tomorrow on tne links of the Shinnecock Hills Club at Southamp- ton. Sixty-five fair experts have entered and at least a third of these are believed to have excellent chances of winning. They have come from the West, the South and the East, and each player has spent weeks in perfecting her game. Miss Ruth Underhill, the champion, Miss Beat- rix Hoyt, the ex-champion, Miss Genevieve Hecker, the metropolitan champion, Bessie Anthony of Chicago, the western champion, Mrs. Caleb Fox of Philadelphia, the silver medalist in the 1899 tournament, Miss Julia Clark, Miss Frances Griscom of Philadelphia, Mrs. A. .Dewitt Cochrane of Ardsley and numerous other stars have been familiarizing themselves with the beautiful Long Island course. Despite reverses and apparently indiffer- ent work recently, Miss Hoyt is the most interesting personality in golf. Her game is remarkable, and her admirers predict that she will play it this week and recapture the et iss Underhill wrested from her 1 n R Shinnecock Hills is her home club and she knows everv hill and valley, every putting green and fair green by heart. In this she will have a decided advantage over many of her opponents. Miss Under- hill is a hard worker and puts up a good ample of golf, but her game lacks bril- fancy and therefore few enthuse over her playing. Few believe she will be even a competitor in the semi-finals. Miss Anthony of Chicago and Mrs. Fox of Philadelphia are regarded as really dan- erous, but down in their hearts easterners ully expect to see them beaten. Miss Julia Clark has been attracting considerable at- tention of late by her clever playing at Shinnecock Hills, and she will have a good gallery behind her every day. The favorite is Miss Genevieve Hecker. The manner in which she defeated all com- ers in the recent Metropolitan championship tourney at Morristown was astonishing. It was her first appearance in an open con- test, so she was practically unheard of. fer prenaration of the tourney this week as been very careful and the woman who beats her will doubtless be the new cham- pion. = TOMMY WEST AND JOE WALCOTT. They Will Fight Monday Night at Madison Square Garden. NEW YORK, Aug. 72.—Tommy West and Joe Walcott are both in excellent condition and ready for their fight at Madison Square have met in Each has fighting Garden tonight. These men the ring four times in the past. learned by hard experience the qualities of the other. . Walcott's deperate rushes and random swings are as familiar to West as_ the tricks and moves of his sparring partner. He has studied those dangerous hooks of the “Barbadoes demon’ until he believes it impossible for one of them to land hard enough to do him harm, but he has pro- vided for a chance landing of one of them by putting himself in condition to stand a deal of punishment. Walcott thinks of the fight same way. Four contests have just where his danger Is and at style of fighting he has the best to win. For years these fighters fh been meeting men out of their class. ‘They have knocked out middle-weights, welter- weights and heavy-weights, but in their re- spective careers neither has ever met a tougher customer than the other. West has prepared himself for this battle in his Brooklyn Gymnasium and in training ouarters at Bath Beach. Matty Matthews and Harry Fisher have sparred rough and wrestled with him every day for three weeks and he will enter the ring fit as he ever was in his life. Walcott has done his work at New Dorp, S. I. There are no flaws in his condition and he has announced that he will win be- fore the twelfth round. Answers to Questions.

THROWN OUT AT HOME PLATE. Arrested in a Holyoke Barn With Three Tramps—A Sorry Spectacle in Court. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOLYOKE, Mass., Aug. 27.—Louis 5 Sockalexis, famous as a balliplayer of the Cleveland National League Club in 1897, was sent to jail Saturday for 30 days for vagran- cy. He was arrested in a barn with three other vagrants. In court Sockalexis presented a sorry ap- pearance. His hair was unkempt, his face gaunt and unshaven and his once erect form stooped. His clothing was filthy and his shoes so broken that the toes protruded. Of all the prisoners he was the shabbiest and dirtiest. “T had a good time at college,’’ he said. ‘T had a good time in Cleveland. They liked me in the baseball field and I liked fire- water. Drink threw me out at the home plate. It was a hot game for me while it lasted. Here I am a common bum. If I was on the ball field today I wouldn’t know how to play the game.”’ Sockalexis is a Penobscot Indian. He was born in Oldtown, Me. His father is one of the leaders of the tribe, which survives in that state. Sockalexis attended Holy Cross College, Worcester. Then he went to Notre Dame University in Indiana. From the university team he went to the Cleve- land club in 1897. Drink led to his suspension and final re- lease from the club. The young Indian was ruined by early success and the attention paid to him by sporting men at the height of his career. SOCK ESLEOXIS. FITZSIMMONS AND JEFFRIES. Their Fight Will Take Place Within the Next Six Months. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Another match be- tween James J. Jeffries and Robert Fitzsim- mons for the heavyweight championship of the world is now assured. The centest will take place within six months. Jeffries, through his manager, William A. Brady, announced last night that he had decided tc cover Fitzsimmons’ forfeit of $2500 and give him another chance to fight for the championship. Brady will meet Fitzsirnmons today, when articles of agree- ment for the battle will be drawn up and signed by the contracting parties. Brady explained that a match between the champion and Fitzsimmons for Friday night is out of the question. ‘“Jeffries,’’ said Brady, ‘‘is not in training, and therefore could not do himself justice were he to fight Friday night, the day named by Fitzsimmons. Three weeks ago the champion offered to meet Fitzsimmons in a bout on Friday night, but the Austra- lian declined the issue, saying that his fight with Sharkey would be his last appear- ance in the ring. “Taking Fitzsimmons at his word, Jeff- ries, who had- been doing a little training, quit work and is now in no shape to defend his title. Jeffries, however, is willing to fight Fitzsimmons as soon as he can get into shape, and cancel several theatrical en- gagements he has contracted for. ‘Within six months the champion can pre- pare himself thoroughly for a battle. If Fitzsimmons is reasonable when we confer today articles for agreement for a fight will surely be signed. We will fight any- where. Carson City is favored by Fitzsim- mons and will suit us.”’ Fitzsimmons is anxious to fight Jeffries this week, but will possibly agree to a later a if assured of a battle with the cham- pion. “BEFORE SEPT. 1 OR NOT AT ALL.” That Was Fitzsimmon’s Reply to W.n. A. Brady, Jeffries’ Manager. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Bob Fitzsimmons, who is to meet Wm. A. Brady, Jim Jeffries: manager, this afternoon, to arrange for a contest for the heavyweight championship, said this morning that he would agree to meet Jeffries in. Madison Square Garden on Aug. 31, on any basis agreeable to Jef- fries. He would fight, he said, winner take all the purse, 65 per cent of the purse, or he would be satisfied with an equal divi- sion, but he wanted a fight before Sept. 1 or not at all. Fitzsimmons said he wishes to retire from the ring and open a training school in Chicago. Out of cdnsideration for his children, he said, he does wot care to remain in the ring or open a saloon.

GOOD HORSES ALL WRONG. Jean Beraud, Lieut. Gibson and Others Will Probably Be Retired From the Turf. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LONISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 27.—Many good horses have gone wrong during the past season, and it will go on record as one of the most disastrous in the history of the southern and western turf. At the be- ginning of the season, it will be remem- bered, I stated that Jean Beraud was not the animal his ‘owner, Mr. Whitney, thought he was. I had watched the horse in his training at Churchill Downs, and came to the conclusion he was getting too much work for his naturally weak legs. Finally his Hmp became so pronounced that there was not a trainer at the Downs but remarked about it. Pete Wimmer de- clared, though, that the legs were simply stiff and that the kinks would all be taken out as soon as he got some warm work. Wimmer is a favorite with the horsemen here, and none of them doubt his ability. As a result, no one disputed his assertion. I made the announcement that Jean Beraud had gone wrong in the Post- Dispatch and there was a storm of indig- nation from all sections of the country. Kastern turf writers, who had not seen the horse, ridiculed the idea. In spite of this my opinion was unchanged, and I simply Stated that his first race would show whether Il was wrong. Wimmer went East with String, and when the horse the track his owner was satisfied that there was nothing wrong with him. su then there came the crucial test, and Jean Beraud was thrown out of training for the season. It is doubtful if he will ever race again. Several other horses in the bunch are said to be in bad shape, too, and the difficulty seems to be with their legs, also. Uf course, it may be accounted for in other ways, but in my opinion it did not do Jean Beraud any good to get an all-win- ter training in the mud and mire during the cold days Wimmer never let up on the colt. He shoved him along in wet and clear weather. Only when the snow was too deep did the horse remain in the stable. Even then he was walked about under the shed Surrounding the stable. Until the bright warm days came he looked in the pink of condition, and seemed to have the big events of the East at his mercy. Every mail took to Mr. Whitney most encourag- ing reports concerning the condition of the horse in which he took so much pride. the Whitney appeared at There are-some owners who very early training. Umbretla bill MeGui- gan is one of them, as is also John Mad- den, but they adopt this plan because they are anxious to dispose of their promising horses as soon as possible, neither of them caring to take any chances of an accident. But the men who are in the game io make money by actually racing their horses favor the idea of ‘‘Uncle Dan’ Harness. He did not wear the life out of his good mare Imp by putting her in shape in the winter. He let her get the rest she needed, and then when the bright days came and the weather loosened up he sent her along at an easy gait, gradually hardening her and putting her in shape for a sure enough campaign that was intended to last all season. Vhis is the plan of Woodford & Buckner, Fat Dunne, the Pepper stable, Gene Leigh and dozens of others. Whether it succeeds is shown by the records. ‘Virginia’ Pradley is not the kind of a man who would tire his horses out before he sent them after the coin. believe in I might make the same statement regard- ing Lieut. Gibson. He got too much early training. The preparation he: received for the Kentucky Derby was not necessary, for he outclassed the other probable starters and could have won had he been sent along easily and not been pushed to the endur- ance limit. Once I thought he was in bad shape last spring, but I did not state it, be- cause I thought it was simply an indispo- sition that would wear off as the season ad- vanced. It was an unlucky thing for Charles Smith when he did not take that $20,000 Tom Carter offered him for the colt. This has been a disastrous season for the board of trade plunger. Donald Bain and His Excellency were also both lost to him and it is said several others in the string are ailing. I do not mean this as a reflec- tion on Charley Hughes as a trainer, for there is no man for whom I have a higher respect, but his experiment of too earl, training has simply proved to be a failure. It is clear that he will not try it again. Mesmerist has joined the ranks of the has-beens, and I see that the great Ethel- bert has gone lame and been thrown out of training for the season. Kentucky Farm- er does not seem to be in good shape and is to be turned out for the remainder of the season. There are dozens of others that might be mentioned that have been djs- appointments, but these are the principal ones, and it all goes to show that a man owning a good horse cannot be too careful in the selection of the man who trains it. It is a notable fact that the owners of the better class of horses are all giving the West the go-by and are moving eastward, attracted by the larger purses offered there For the past 10 years the purses in the West have been getting smaller. and now the big Owners claim there is no induce ment for them to race in this section. Thev leave the territory to the owners of plat- ers and skates AS a result there are not half a dozen high-class horses at the pres- ent time racing in the West. Owners are continually serving notice on track mana- gers that they are preparing to ship to the East, and there seems no wavy to stop the exodus. San Francisco lost out in. this way. There was a time when the best horses in the country went to California and raced during the winter, but this vear will show that the owners are not going to take chances on ruining good animals bv ship- ing them so far for such small purses ‘resident Schulte tried the coast last sea son and was glad to get out of It lie says he will never cross the Rockies again. ; When the Kinloch Park people secured the Services of Col.

WON THE StnIts - — —_— CARDINALS EASILY DOWNED THE CHICAGOS IN FINAL GAME. PLAY IN CHICAGO MONDAY. Jesse Burkett’s Batting a Feature of the Series and the Fleet weft Fielder Is Now but 5 Points Behind McGraw. The St. Louis baseball club, with South- paw Bert Jones on the rubber, took the Chicago aggregation into camp in the third and final game of the series at League Park Sunday afternoon, and incidentally regis- tered its fourth successive victory. ‘lhe final score was 6 to 3. As in the preceding games the Anarchists ‘were never in the runnihg,’ and the Car- dinals won about as they pleased. Despite the slippery condition of the grounds, Capt. McGraw and his men played sensavional ball and made the visitors look like minor leazuers. Callahan, who has always been the St. Louis club’s jonah, occupied the slab for Chicago, and what the locals didn’t do to him isn’t worth recording. Every man on the team secured one or more safe ‘bingles” and with the exception of a few beautiful bunts all of the hits were of the clean- cut variety. Emmett Heidrick and Patsy Donovan, as usual, pulled off one of their sensational plays. it came in the opening inning. Heid- rick was or. third and Donovan occupied the initial corner. Callahan had been throwing the ball tc Ganzel at regular intervals in order to hold the fleet Patsy at the bag. He threw once too often, however, and just as the sphere left his hand Heidrick was off like a flash for the home plate. who had received the throw from han, was amazed by Emmett’s daring and momentarily hesitated before shooting the ball to the plate. The throw easily beat the brilliant center fielder, but he never fal- tered, sliding into the plate feet first. collided with Chanee, the Chicago stop; knocking the ball from his hand. Donovan itn the meanwhile scampered to second. It was the most daring piece of baserunning that has been witnessed at League Park this season, and the ovation that was tendered Heidrick as he scram- present fairly shook the stands in the park and the frail buildings in the immediate vi- cinity. Bert Jones twirled in magnificent form, and, to use the stereotyped expression, had the Chicagos at his mercy throughout the game. For five innings not a visiting player crossed the plate, and even after the Lof- tusites had registered their three tallies, one of which was presented to them by Hurkett on his excusable muff of Brad- ley’s long drive in the seventh, the specta- tors did not feel uneasy about the ultl- mate result. ‘Bertie’ had splendid control and did not present any free passes. He was strong throughout and his speed and diversified assortment of shoots, siants and benders were puzzling in the extreme. Jones from now on can be relied on to pitch great ball, as the cool weather of the fall is just to his liking. With Jones, Hughey, Young and Powell in‘form and the Cardinals playing at their present gait throughout the eastern trip the local enthusiasts may be almost as- sured that when Manager Neilbronner pur- chases return tickets at Pittsburg,on pt. 22 «that St. Louis Club will be occupying a position among the top notcheTs in the percentage column. The Cardinals left for Chicago Sunday night at 9 o’clock, over the Chicago & Al- ton Railroad. They will play three more games with the Anarchists on the latter's home grounds on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Figuring on form the Cardinals should win the second series as easily as they did the first. The St. Louis Club as a whole is batting harder than any other team in the league and bids fair to end the season as a leader in this respect if in no other. Jesse Burk- ett’s steady streak of terrific swathing has boosted his stock many points for winding up as the leading batsmen of the league. He is now but five points behind McGraw, who was at last accounts second in the list. Elmer Flick of Philadelphia being at the ton of the column. Flick is not keeping up with Burkett’s hitting and when the next figures are given out there will doubtless be a new tale to tell. Heidrick, Donlin and Donovan are above the .300 mark, with Criger, Kiester and Robinson trailing closely behind them. McGann and Wallace are the only two Cardinals who are not hitting at fheir true gait. Patsy Donovan, of course, leads in stolen bases, with a total of thirty-two. and Keister are next ing fast. Burkett leads in the safe drives with a total of 145. and Keister. with 103 each are the members of the team who have registered more than a century.

CAPTURED THE INTRUDER Jomes Hanley Caught a Negro in Mis Carriage Factory, in the Shadow of the Four Courts. James Hanley captured a negro intruder in his carriage factory at 309 South Twelfth street Sunday morning after an exciting chase through a near-by lumber yard. Following the capture, it was discovered that the fellow had piled together nearly $100 worth of tools, and, if he had been al- lowed another five mfnutes he could easily have escaped with them. It was the second time Hanley’s place had been -entered in a week, although it is in the shadow of the Four Courts. The first time many valuable tools were’ carried away. Hanley says he had a presentiment that the robbery would be repeated Sunday morning and arose early to thwart it. Ile reached the factory at 7 o'clock and, as he opened the door, he saw the negro make his escape through the rear exit. and brought the intruder to bay in the Phe- nix lumber vard. The fellow did not make any resistance. , 86 LOUISVILLE AND RETURN. 86 Via Air Line, Sept. 1, returning Sept. 3 Last of season. Information 104 North Broadway. WR. DOCKERY'S CITY CAMPAIGN 3 eg er en Democratic Nominee for Governor Billed for Nightly Speeches During the Week. A. M. Dockery, Demomcratic nominee for governor, arrived in St. Louis Sunday and fs at the Laclede Hotel. Mr. Dockery. will be in the city most of the week and during his stay here will make a number of speech- es. He has not spoken here during this cam- paign, and it is his intention during the week to meet and speak to as many St. Louisans as possible. Tuesday night he will address the Work- ingmen's Bryan Club at the West End Coliseum. Wednesday afternoon and evening, from 4:30 to 8:30 o'clock, he will attend a recep- tion in his honor at the traveling men's headquarters, St. Nicholas Hotel. In_ the evening he will address the Traveling Men's Bryan Club in the banquet hall of the hotel. No torture compares to that of a rheuw- matic, Prescription No. 2851 by Eimer & Ameud quickest relief of all - Hie followed | Louis City. Chief Clerk Gutweiler of the city regis- ter's office has made the announcen.tnt that the city revenue will be reduced this year the State Board of Equaliza- tion reduced the assessment on the proper- ty situated in St. Louis. Mr. the decrease in the assess- vear was over a million doi- said, would make a big dif- VECAUSL railrouds Gutweiler said ment from last lars. This, he ference in the revenue. State Auditor Seibert, who is secretary of the Board of Equalization, says Mr. Gut- weiler is mistaken in his belief that the as- vg has been reduced, -although he is corregt in stating that the revenue of St. Louis will be reduced. yne mistake is due to the difference in the form of the assessment this year, made mettasary vy the consolidation of the Street raiiroads. The railroad does not vus- cape any taxation, but part of the assess- ment that was apportioned to St. Louis last year, this vear goes to St. Louis coui- iy. ‘thus, while the consolidated roads pay 48 much taxes as they did last year, the consolidation takes away from St. Louis part of the revenue tormerly derived from, arcs. Mr. Seivert’s explanation Post-Dispatch is as follows: “Last year the returns on of the street railways of St. made separately for each line. valuable lines are wholly within limits, while the lines that run county are worth comparatively a small amount. Under this torm of return the State Board of Equalization assessed each road separately and St. Louis got the full benefit of the assessment on lines that lay Wholly in the city. “The consolidation of the street railroads made it possible for the new company to return the value of its properties in a lump. This year the returns for all the linés were made under the one head—United Railways Co. The total assessment was exactly the same as last year, $12,680,086.18. But the law requires that where an assessment is made in this form, the value shall be reckoned on a mileage basis as an average and pro rated to the localities where it exists. “t'nder this rule the total value of the mileage of the United Railways Co. was assessed at the same figure at which it was valued last year, and the mileage in the county Was pro rated, Thus part of the value of the more ex- pensive lines in the city goes to the county and vice versa. The result is that the as- sessed valuation of street railwavs for tay- ation by the city this vear is $11,439.789.77, and the value of the county is $11,429,789.77, making a total of $12,680,086.55, exactly what it was last year. “Last yvear the city got an assessment of $12,393,233.: got the revenue on only $286,853.18. ‘he state board had no discretion in the mat- ter. It was compelled to follow the law. The cause of the difference is the lump re- turn made by the United Railways Co.” The loss in revenue to the city by this as- sessment will be about $12,000, A dispatch from Jefferson City to the Post-Dispatch says that the State Board of Kqualization is reconsidering the ment on street railraods and the distribu- tion of the value between St. Louis and the county. It may conslude to change the as- sessment to the form used last vear. The total assessment on steam railroad property this vear was $77,448,204.30, and last * it Was $76,957,61.03, an increase of $599,- 543.27. The total assessment on steam railroads, bridges and telegraph properties tioned to St. Louis for state ISM Was $5,614,525.57. Tn 1900 it an inerease of $176,12°.S5.

Workmen began the task Monday of mak- ing the opening in the ceiling of the main waiting room at Union Station that will be one of the many architectural features of the great structure. About two weeks will be required in finishing it. It is proposed to cut away a section of the ceiling, 3) feet long and 20 feet wide, and trim it with handsome woodwork and a balustrade in harmony with the interior dec- Orations of the station. This will give a view of the grand hall from the waiting room floor and will attract many persons to the former, in that way relieving the crowded conditions that frequently exist in the waiting room. P Around the balustrade, which will occupy the center of the grand hall, will be placed comfortable chairs and _ divans, inviting weary or curious travelers to sit there and rest or watch the crowds down in the waiting room. The lights in the great chandelfer in the celling will be kept burning constantly, shedding a soft light throughout the hall and adding to the charm of the place. JUDGE ROBERTSON APPROVED Wives of Wife-Beaters Write in Gom- mendation of the Heavy Senten- ces He Has Imposed. Acting Judge John C. Robertson of the Dayton street police court has received nu- merous letters commendng his attitude to- wards wifebeaters, as outlined in the Post- Dispatch. His honor has no sympathy for persons who beat helpless women and he has dealt out the severest punishment to those who have come before him. Thursday morning he received commun!- cations from several women who have ex- perienced harsh treatment at the hands of their husbands. One of them was from Kimmswick, Mo., and reads as follows: Judge Robertson, St. Louis, Mo.—Dear Judge: I! read your article on wifebeaters in the Post-Dis- patch and ful'y agree with 4ll you say. I wish you had given Charles Elbe, who is charged with beat- ing his wife, six years and six @months. I wish to say there is no one knows better than I what a woman has to go thropgh who lives with a cruel husband because I am a wife-beater's wife. WERE 4FRAID OF A CHARIVARI mee eS Edwin J. Paule and Mrs. Katherias Hiltenbrandt Went to St. Paul to Be Married. That they might escape the celebration they were sure their friends would pre- pare for them in honor of the event, if it should come to pass at home, Edwin J. Paule and Mrs. Katherine Hiltenbrandt, both of the Lemay Ferry road, went to St. Paul to marry. They became husband and wife Saturday. Paule is president of the Daniel Paule Mercantile Co. and a member of the Mer- chants’ Exchange. His bride is a daughter of his landlord and business partner, J. Hl. Bobring. The Robring family were aware of the at- tentlons Paule was paying to Mrs. Hilten- brandt and approved them. There was no Objection to the marriage and it would probably have taken place at home if the couple had not feared a charivari. Paule and Mrs. Hiltenbrandt have been ac- quainted since last fall, at which time Paule took apartments in the home of Mr. Bo- bring.

Tike some other authors of greater reputation, he had worked up a climax and then didn’t know just what to do with it. But after wandering about aimlessly tor some minutes the characters managed to get their bearings and the play came to an end in true melodramatic fashion. “We 'Uns of Tennessee’ is a Cuban war drama.

There was a reminiscence of the exciting days of the street car strike at Union Sta- tion Monday when a giant torpedo was ex- ploded by a railway car. The car was not injured, but the explosion came very near precipitating a panic. After an investigation, Stationmaster Coakley said a newsboy had found a tor- pedo on a track Sunday and, when he went on duty at the station Monday, he seized the first opportunity to clasp it on a rail. It was struck by a train backing into the trainshed. BUY RUN OVER BY A TRAIN Little Martin Anna’s Foot Crushed Un- der Iron Mountain Wheels and May Have to Be Amputated.

Then there were a number of the name of the late John W. Norton, a good one as indicative of the high class of the stock company which Mr. Havlin ts engaging.
