Johnson was found with his unconscious from loss of blood, and prompt medical attention kept him from bleeding to death, though his condition is still se- rious. Young's face was cut in a horrible man- ner, one gash extending from the side of the nose through both lips to the point of the chin and another six inches in length laying bare the jawbone. He also rec eived gome cuts about the arms and breast, but his wounds are not likely to result seriously.

LITTLE CUPID WAS BATTERED ww - oe ee UNUSUAL NUMBER OF CASES WERE HEARD. Among the Divorces Granted ere | Those to Fred W. Birchett, Mrs. Mary Bixby and Pearl K. Tarbet. Poor little Cupid was battered and ham- mered and twisted out of recognition Mon- day by four austere judges of the Circuit Court, and, while the knockout blows were being showered upon him, divorce suits in one day. It is said by courthouse habitues that the st number of divorce cases ever before eard in one day did not exceed 75. Frederick W. Birchett, assistant general freight agent of the Mobile & Ohio railroad, was divorced from Mary Birchett by Judge Withrow manday: Mrs. Birchett, w at the fashionable McPherson Hotel, on Grand avenue, did not appear in court, .#| made no defense to her husband's petituw.:. It was claimed by Mr. Birchett that his wife announced her intention nine years ago not to live longer with him, and had kept her vow, although he had tried fre- Sasaty to persuade her to change her mind. According to Mr. Birchett’s statement of | the case, his wife objected to him taking 4 position that required him to travel much, and had declared that she would never live with him again when he closed the contract for a traveling position with a ratiroad. The couple were married in Aberdeen, Miss., in 1875, and have five children. Two of them are grown, and the others live with their mother, the father providing for them. Mrs. Mary A. Dreste did not enter an appearance to contest Philip A. Dreste's suit for divorce in Judge Klein's court- room Monday, but she sent a letter, In- Stead, asking the judge io grant her hus- band a decree. ‘The “letter which is somewhat sarcastic, follows: “i as not be , 1 know what a human being.

In it he told of a race of strange people who had been discovered in the bowels of the earth down in the cave districts of Kentucky. This story was print- ed by papers all over the United States and was cabled abroad. It was believed and was the subject of investigation by scientists. Another story not taken quite so-serious- ly, but printed by many papers, was of a fire in a Mississippi barn stored with pop corn in the ear. The heat caused the pop corn to “pop’’ and the white grains spread all over an adjoining field. An old mule stabled in a shed which had originally come from the North poked his head out of a | window and saw the white-covered ground.

RESULT OF THE CONVENTION ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN AROUSED. The East Will Now Join the Move- ment That Means So Much for the People of the United States, CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—Th edelegates to the ninth annual convention of the National Irrigation Congress, which closed here last Saturday, unanimously declared that great- er interest in the irrigation of the arid lands of the United States had aroused by this convention than any pre- viously held. “We believe that the Chicago convention of the National Irrigation congress has accomplished a great objvct,”’ said George H. Maxwell, chairman of the executive com- mittee. “It has placed before the people of the whole United States the importance of the problem of national irrigation, and has particularly brought it to the attention of the people of the East in a manner not otherwise possible. A genuine interest subject seems to have been awak- ened. So much good would result from the carrying out of the ym by the national government, and result in so many different ways, that people who have no interest in irrigation itself are being attracted to the idea. It would accomplish the colonization of the West and the creation of a great mar- ket for manufacturing; it would result ‘n the employment of labor, the development of mining, in assistance to navigation, in the prevention of floods, and in relief for ithe congested condition of our cities in sup- of the | ;company May 18, 1900, at a salary of $20,000 | before plying material for thousands of small rural homes. “Last year, ‘continued’ Mr. Maxwell, “Chicago was fixed upon as the meeting place for this year’s congress, and work was at once begun by the national irri- gation associajion to bring the subject the people of the East through their commercial organizations. The mer- ‘chants of Los Angeles began the work by |correspondence with is the successor | wi a | th a | object lesson of the marvelous transforma- | prospectus | | several thousand ol the eastern merchants and manufacturers who find a market for their goods In that city, a city which is such a magnificent tion that water will work in the West. The merchants of St. Paul and Omaha next took up the work of organization through Similar correspondence and finally a large number of merchants and manufacturers of Chicago extended to the movement their! strong influence and support and likewise took up the matter by correspondence with other eastern merchants and manufactur- ers. Asa result of this work, the member- ship of the National Irrigation Association now comprises nearly a thousand of the leading mercantile firms and manufactur- ing concerns of the United States, and has a membership extending from to Maine and from Minnesota Agricultural, commercial, horticultural and labor organizations from one end of the country to the other have strongly en- dorsed the irrigation movement by resolu- tions and given to it their earnest aid and co-oneration.”’ “Have not the eastern busines ee aeee. inclined to conser the mre. position who a west » are go RR y ern question’ he “We have heard much of tion,”’ said Mr Maxwell, “but I have vet to find a single eastern business man not in hearty accord with the movement as soon ‘8 it is explained to him. The active €0-0p- ‘ration of the labor organizations bears this out. The movement has finally crystal- ized into a sentiment which is essentially ‘ational in its broadest sense, and ¢ @ or- sanizations that are now enlisting in the ‘ational irrigation movement are not pro- noting it from any local or sectional int ... > a ae = re -_, Me ar ¥ RS : ae ey” £ ~ : 7 ° le i : . a +* S * nel.

The Brosius Bill Will Correct the Con- dition, Restricting Loans in St. Louis, for Instance, to 1.21 Per Cent of Capital. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2%6.—The most im- portant recommendation made in the an- mual report of Comptroller of Currency Cc. G. Dawes and that which is the chiet feature of the report is one for additional restrictions on loans to directors and ex- ecutive officers of banks. The comptroller states that the large percentage of bank ‘failures attributable to excessive loans to directors and officers, which amounted to 62 failures, or 17 per cent of the total fail- ures of natiqnal banks, led him to a careful investigation as to all directors’ loans now outstanding in the national banks of the country. This investigation showed that on June 29, 1900, the date of the comptroller’s call for a statement of condition from the na- tional banks, that of 28,709 directors of na- tional banks in the country 18,534 were di- rectly or indirectly indebted to national banks under their management. The aggregate sum owed by these 18,534 borrowing directors, and 2279 officers and employes who were not directors was $202,- 441. As the capital stock of the nation- al banks of the country June 29 was 636,461, it follows that the direct and ndirect liability of directors and officers amounted to 32.55 per cent, or about one- third the capital. These direct and tndirect liabilities of directors and officers to banks under their management amounted to 1.75 : cent of the total loans and discounts of he national ayatem: The comptroller submits a copy of the bill introduced at the last session of Congress by Hon. Marriott Brosius, chairman of the committee on banking and currency (H. R. 12,048. Fifty-sixth Congress (first session), which has had his careftyi considegation, and the passage of which with some addi- tions he earnestly recommends. This bill has been drawn so as to insure a greater degree of safety in loans to directors and officers with what is believed to be a min _jJmum of inconvenience to such officers com Bistent with the safety of such transac- tions. | The bill aleo contains the amendment to Section 6200, which, in his two former re- orts, the Comptroller recommended rela- tive to restrictions upon the genera] loans f banks. The failure of the present law to provide the power to apply a penalty for the aking of excessive loans sometimes em- barrasses the comptroller in endeavoring to check tendencies toward recklessness in loani which point to the ultimate ruin of & banking institution. To Equalize Restrictions. Tie greater ratio borne by banking re- Sources to banking capital in the larger communities, as compared with a like ratio in smaller communities, is responsible for the defective and unequal working of the present provision. The law limiting loans to 10 fer cent of the capital, when applied to the 3400 banks of the smaller communities of the country, a8 a whole, would allow the loaning of 1.56 | assets to one Iindi-/|4 per cent of their total Vidug!. As Compared with this the banks of the City of New York, on the average, could net loan over 57-100ths of 1 per cent of their total assets to any one individual; the banks of Chicago not over 70-100ths per cent of their total assets; the banks of St. Louis not over 1.21 per cent of their total assets: the banks of other reserve cities not over 1.10 per cent of their total assets.

KENNEDY: —————se-.- Dentist Under Sentence of Death for Murder of “Dolly” Reynolds, ONLY HEARSAY TESTIMONY MOLINEUX THE FIRST TO CON- GRATULATE HIM. Counsel for the Man Convicted of Poisoning Mrs. Adams Say They Are Certain the Court of Ap- peals Will Reverse the Sentence. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—Dr. Samuel F. Kennedy, under sentence of death in Sing Sing prison for the murder of “Dolly” Rey- nolds, has been granted a new trial by the Court of Appeals. The woman was found dead in the Grand Hotel, this city, Aug. 15, 1698, her skull crushed as if by a powerful blow from some heavy, blunt weapon. The evidence connecting Dr. Kennedy with the crime was largely circumstantial. He has been awaiting execution in the death-house for nearly two’ years. The first man to congratulate Kennedy Was Roland B. Molineux, who occupies the adjoining cell. “I'm glad to hear of your good fortune,”’ Said Molineux, “and I don't think you'll @ver be sent back here.” Kennedy thanked Molineux for his kindly oe and added: Seay you'll be as luckxon your own ap- 'm Satisfied new trials would make ec men of us both.’ Others of the condemned murderers tend- @€d their congratulations and the death- house was for the time a cheerful place Kennedy was sentenced to be electroc ut- ed in the week beginning May 22 last, but the appeal acted as a stay of execution, Judge Haight wrote the opinian accom- Panvine the order for a new trial. Iie finds that errors were made in the trial be- fore Justice Pardon Williams, and dwells at length upon the evidence given by Capt. Price, which he says was more hearsay than material, and also incompetent and prejudicial to the defendant. in this rela- tion the judge refers to the fact that Capt. Price gave instructions to Davis. the col- ored bellboy in the hotel, as to his duty in testifying at the trial, which all tended to Show That the boy was certain as to the identity of the defendant from the conver- Bation of the two. It was Davis, the that he took a bottle of wine to Dolly Reynolds’ room the night of the murder. and that he then saw Dr. Kennedy in her company. “There are bellboy, who testified Says Judge declaration of circumstances,’ Haight, “under which the persons.made in the presence of the ac- cused are competent, but they are regarded as dangerous, and should always be re- ceived with caution, and should not be ad- mitted unless the evidence clearly brings them within the rule.

Acting First Captain Guthrie of Colorado, | for permitting a breach of order in the) mess hali, and for subsequent insubordina- | tion, was sentenced by a committee of army officers to solitary confinement and the removal of his chevrons. He was transferred to Company F. Cadet Commandant D. D. Gregory of Missouri was sentenced to confinement and degradation to the ranks. Cadet Lieut. Willilan F. Hampshire, for breach of discipline, reduced to the ranks. Private Dowd, cadet at large in the fourth class, was denierited and ordered to con- finement for causing a breach of discipline in the mess hall. The punishment came for one night's | sport with the ‘“‘plebes’’ in the mess hall. The ‘‘plebes’’ were ordered to ‘sound off’’ the number of days in June when the classmen will become second lieutenants in the army The West Point parlance to “sound off’ is to answer at once the ques- tion put by a superior. In a book of tactics it is the command given at dress parade by the adjutant of the battalion to the band. When seen last night, the superintendent Russell of New was ‘eighth street.

Hand- writing experts testified that the indorse- ment of the check was in Dr. Kennedy's handw riting. Dr. Kennedy’s defense was an alibi, which | it is claimed, can now be strengthened by | newly-discovered evidence. ADVERTISE FOR SKIN AID MRS. JULIA SCULLY. ?: i. oo SHE WAS TERRIBLY BURNED Relatives Have Been Taxed to Fur- nish Cuticle and Now the Public Is Solicited to Aid. WANTED—Parties willing to part with some of their skin for pay. Call at 925 Hickory st. This advertisement which appeared in Sat- urday's Post-Dispatch is a pathetic appeal. For more than a year heroic efforts have been made to heal a wound accidentally received by Mrs. Julia Scully. Her rela- tives and friends have undergone the ordeal of surgical operations that she might be cured, but all in vain. Now they have decided to call upon outsiders. Mrs. Scu.ly is ob years old. Her injuries were the result of an attempt to kindle a fire with kerosene. She was badly burned and for a time her life was despaired of. yy right arm was denuded and ali efforts to restore it to its natural conditions by ordinary means were unavailing. Dr. Julius Weinsberg decided that the only way to effect a cure would be through the pro- cess of skin grafting. Memvers of her family volunteered to furnish the necessary cuticle and 30 distinct operations were per- formed. A portion of the injured member is still uncovered. Dr. Weinsberg, believing that it would not be wise to further tax the rela- tives of the o.d lady, advised that volunteers be advertised for. Mrs. Scully is now residing at the home of her son, Thomas Scully, a telegraph oper- ator, at 925 Hickory street. Mrs. Sculiy's mother, Mrs. Hamilton, lives at 1018 Rut- ger street.

DRUMMOND'S YACHT SOLD St. Louisan Disposed of the “‘Sapphire”’ to Alford Hamen of New York Because St. Louis Is Too Far From the Sea. Harrison I. Drummond of 35 Vandeventer place has sold his steam yacht, the Sapphire, to Alford Hamen, the New York theatrical manager. He has just received word ftom a yacht broker that the sale has been made, but declines to state the consid- eration. “St. Louis is too far from salt water,”’ said Mr. Drummond to the Post-Dispatch, “for a man who lives here to be much of a yachtsman.

NO WORD FROM CONRAD KRATZ Grocer’s Clerk Has Entirely Disap- peared and It Is Alleged He Failed to Account for $100. Not a word has been heard from Conrad Kratz since he disappeared from his home at 3413 Gravois avenue a week ago without having said a word to anyone that would indicate his intention of going away. For nine years he had been employed in the feedstore of F. W. Clemens, at Gravois avenue and Cherokee street. Two years ago he was married, and as a result of that wedding there is a 10-month-old girl baby. Kratz had the confidence of his employer. Since his absence it is alleged he had col- lected about $100, for which’ he made no return. His wife says he was always at home when not at work, and she says there never had been any unpleasant domestic scenes. She has written to all of his rea- tives and has not been able to find any trace of him. Kratz is 33 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds.. He has a blonde mustache, rather heavy, and thick | blonde hair. His complexion is florid and his eyes blue. Mrs. Kratz does not believe her husband | has committed suicide, as he was of a hcpeful disposition and had no trouble that she knew of. Mr. Clemens says if Kratz is | found in St. Louis he will prosecute him, but he will not send away for him. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is | ab unexcel'ed medicine for children while teething.

No better illustration of the spirit in which public affairs are administered in St. Louis could be conceived than the op- position to Street Commissioner Varrelmann’s proposal to dispense with a few superintendents and other employes who have nothing to do. A business man who would employ a surplus of employes | with nothing to do but stand around would certainly be pro- nounced crazy. But the gang in control at the city hall seems to think that And the fruit of the notion is the bankruptcy of the city. The saving contemplated by Mr. Varrelmann is not large, but the opposition to it reveals the cause of municipal] dilapi- dation.

Said old fighter Kruger, as he pushed firmly on his old, well-known hat, surveying at the same time the offensively shiny new headgear of his friends at Dijon, “I wouldn't look like you fellows for the world,” or words to that effect. To understand Kruger’s love for his old hat and his aver- sion to the latest fashions of what we call civilization, one must recall the history of Kruger and his people. It was because they were not wedded to fashion and its effeminat- ing influences that they were able to conquer a wilderness ! which was more hostile in scme respects than the wilderness won by the American picneets. gavages and Fnglish soldiers from time to time, box at the polls to the casting of the electoral votes and the counting in the presence of the two Houses. If partisan politics can be kept out of guch instruction, the experiment is worth repeating. There is a remarkable ignorance of the simplest facts of the American political system. Intelligent men, successful in their several callings, and ctherwise wel] informed, are often astonishingly ignorant of the very rudiments of the sub- ject During the past few months the Post-Dispatch has re- ceived scores of letters, many of them from just such fMmen, asking questions which indicate a total lack of the sort of knowledge and understanding which are the beginning of a voter's fitness to vote. Instruction in the school might be of vast benefit in this respect. The exquisite humanity and fine sensitiveness of the mu- nicipal authorities of St. Louis are illustrated by the division of labor in Forest Park. The force of workmen has been re- duced, but seven laborers are still employed. To oversee them there are six foremen, To keep the odd man constantly at work would make it necessary for a foreman to boss two men. To avoid exhaustion, however, this duty {s distributed so that the foremen take turn about, each bossing twe laborers one day ata time. This touching consideration for the foremen and sturdy determination to save them from the overwork which kills so many in these strenuous days are commended to business men who sometimes make their employes work rea! hard. i i THE RIGHT SPIRIT. Taken hold of in the right spirit by all patriotic St. Louis- ans, the opening of World’s Fair headquarters Wednesday for volunteer subscribers and workers can be made the start- ing point of a movement which will bring the work of com- pleting the World’s Fair fund to a rapid conclusion. The men who have volunteered to devote half of their work- ing time to World's Fair work have the right spirit, but their spirit should be shared by every citizen of St. Louis. The World's Fair «ds a community project, good for al) St. Louis. ans, the obligations of which rest upon all. Every St. Louis- 4n should be a worker.

The problem might be solved, at least in part, by the for- mation of boys’ shooting clubs in connection with the schools end turner societies. These clubs could have ranges, gal- jeries and set times for practice and for matches. In this way the desire would be gratified and the country would be benefited by the acquisition of a number of young sharpshooters. It is not necessary to add that the police should use every effort to prevent the promiscuous shooting which has done so Much injury. = = _ 2 ge « It is better to provide homes for 60,000,000 people by im- provements in the West than to dig a million graves in the tropics. = = 9 —— CORSETS AT THE FAIR. There were hundreds of corsets at the Paris World's Fair. Never was such a show of women-moulders. No previous fair had anything like as many. And the women from all over the world doted on them, of course. ; But the funny thing about the show was that all the corsets were practically the same shape; that is, they were all in the fashionable style with straight fronts. Fashion demanda that all the curve about a corset be at the back and sides. This being so, why show 500 corsets when one would do as well? Would men go to look at 500 coats, all with the same style of front? This is the corset publicity age, so to speak. We come across corsets at every turn, in shop windows, in the street car and newspaper advertisements, and on the billposters’ lurid boards. To the male eye they are all alike, and a man won. —eeeeee { sary. Perhaps the St. Louls World's Fair will solve the mystery. Doubtiess we shall have a corset show that will make the Par. The paramount duty of St. Louis is to complete the World's Fair fund and get the World's Fair work started with the new year. * ag Cite row TEACHING POLITICS.

The safest plan is never be on a worm—not even on the last new et altern from home, with his buttons a d out of their tissue paper and the red . py English beef in his cheeks. This 1s che story of the worm that turned. For cies sake of brevity we will call Henry Augus ~ Ramsay Faizanne “The Worm,” alt ~~ he really was an exceedingly pretty + without a hair on his face and with a wa ne like a girl's, when he came out to the Sec ond “Shikarris’’ and was made several ways.

Even that became monotonous after a time. He objected to whist, om : cloth at billiards, sang out of tune, Kep very much to himself and wrote to his mam- ma and sisters at home. Four of these be things were vices which the ‘Shikarris objected to and set themselves to eradicate. Everyone knows how subalterns are, by brother subalterns, softened and not mitted to be ferocious. It is good and whole- some and does no one any harm unless —— rs are lost; and then there is trouble. here was a man once—but that is another story. r The “Shikarris” shikarred The Worm yt much, and he bore everything without wink- ing. He was so good and s0 anxious to learn and flushed so pink that his — tion was cut short and he was left to his own devices by everyone except the senior subaltern, who continued to make life a burden to The Worm. The senior subaltern meant no harm, but his chaff was coarse, and he didn’t quite understand where to stop. He had been waiting too long for his company, and that always sours @ man. Also, he was in love, which made him worse. One day, after he had _ borrowed The Worm’s trap for a lady who never existed, had used it himself all the afternoon, had sent a note to The Worm, purporting to come from the lady. and was telling the mess all about it, The Worm rose in his place and said, in a quiet, lady-like voice: “That was a very pretty sell; but I'll lay you a month's pay to a month's pay when you get your step that I work a sell on you that you'll remember for the rest of your days, and the regiment after you when you’re dead or broke.’””’ The Worm wasn't angry in the least, and the rest of the mess shouted. Then the senior subaltern looked at The Worm from the boots upward and down again, and said: ‘‘Done, Baby. The Worm took the rest of the mess to witness that the bet had been taken and retired into a book with a sweet smile. Two months passed and the senior subal- tern still educated The Worm, who began io move about a little more as the hot weather came on. I have said that the senior subaltern was in love. The curious thing is that a girl was in love with the senior subaltern. Though the colonel said awful things, and the major snorted and married captains looked unutterable wis- dom, and the juniors scoffed, those two were engaged. The senior subaltern was so pleased with getting his company and his aéceptance at the same time that he forgot to bother The Worm. The girl was a pretty girl and had money of her own. She does not come into this story at all. One night at beginning of the hot weather all the mess except The Worm, who had gone to his own room to write home let- ters, were sitting on the platform outside the mess house. The band had finished playing. but no one wanted to go in. And the captains’ wives were also there. The folly of a man in love is unlimited. The senior subaltern had been. holding fogth on the merits of the girl he was engaged to, and the ladies were purring approval, while the men yawned, when there was a rustle of skirts in the dark and a tired, faint voice lifted itself: ‘“‘Where's my husband?’’ I do not wish in the least to reflect on the morality of the “Shikarris,"’ but it is on record that four men jumped up as if they had been shot. Three of them were mer- ried men. Perhaps they were afraid that their wives had come from home unbe- knownst. The fourth said cnat he had acted on the impulse of the moment. He explained this afterward. Then the voice cried: “Oh, Lionel!” Lionel was the senior subaltern’s name. A woman came into the little circle of light by the candles on the peg tables, stretching out her hands to the dark where the senior subaltern was and sobbing. We rose to our feet, feeling that things were going to hap- en and ready to believe the worst. In this ad, small world of ours one knows so lit- tle of the life of the next man, which after all is entirely his own concern, that one is not surprised when a crash comes. Anything might turn up any day for any one. Perhaps the senior subaltern had been trapped in his youth. Men are crippled that way occasionally. We didn't know; we wanted to hear, and the captains’ wives were as anxious as we. If he had been trapped, he was to be excused, for the wom- an from nowhere, in the dusty shoes and gray traveling dress, was very lovely, with black haf? and great eyes full of tears. She was tall, with a fine figure, and her voice had a runnigg sob in it pitiful to hear.

There have been times when observers predicted that there would be no climax, and that a premature death would end championship speculations.

Fortunately the | supposed corpse revived, and, though | threatened with momentary collapse, has staggered through the season. It is now being ‘“‘doped,”’ and will furnish a spec- tacular finish on Thursday next. Two games, will afford the usual ath- letie relish to the day’s enjoyment—one between the Washington University and Ohristian Brothers’ College elevens and the other between the High School and Smith Academy teams. The two contests will de- tide the supremacy in the college and the interscholastic classes, respectively, and the resulta will be watched with propor- tionate interest.

Jarrett says many American touts maanged to get in the betting rings at the different tracks, and if the result of the race Was against them after they have taken in a good bit of money they ‘‘welched.’’ Acts of this nature became so frequent that the Englishmen were led to believe thar every American around the race courses was dishonest. These touts, according to Jarrett, passed themselves off as Sloan, Martin, Reiff and other prominent jockeys. In this manner they managed to get into the confidence of holiday bettors and of course skinned then, in England the police are canstantly on the lookout for these fellows. When caught they are treated iike-common criminals. Here this element is allowed to flourish. A tout can gain admittance to almost any race track in the United States as long as he pays his admission fee. After he is within the enclosure it is necessary for him to tip the chief of the track police, or the main bouncer, as he is better known, before he can work his game on what he terms the ‘‘suckers.’’ At the local tracks these touts were thicker than winning tickets last sea- son. They jostled you, bumped you, “Te you, switched tickets with you and asked you for your pencil every time you entered the betting ring. In this vicinity no great effort is made by the track policemen to locate the touts and centered on the 7 not known, and if he has one chance in a he first haif will decide the game, prob- hundred of getting away with the long end ably, as it is hard to see how Washington of the purse it is not known to the wise can stand a bruising 70-minute contest get. with so many of her men on the hospital Ryan should whip Carter without half list.

Ryan has been making expenses tactics in the second half. If C. B. C. can break even with her opponent up to the in- termission the game is practically won for her. With several substitutes in and most of her regulars at their last gasp not even the patural defensive strength of the Wagh- ington team can stop the quick-forming, massed interference that constitutes the chief strength of the college men.

In this case you wouid sink the gate money to get a look at the great thoroughbred. However, people do not pay to see Tommy Ryan nowadays. They have seen enough of him as Ryan. They want to see him fight. As long as he is taking on such fighters as Carter he is only seen in an exercise gallop. *’ * ® While the Ryan-Carter go is carded as the feature of the evening's sport at Chi- cago, it is not, by a long ways.

Johnny refused to accept, saying: ‘No, I @o not want to go out of my place. I am a jockey, and to be successful one should remain with his horses.

President John J. Lavin of the St. Louis Coursing Club captured the big purse in the Clarence | All-Aged event in the coursing meet at Pas- time Park Sunday afternoon, with that grand imported hound, Warburton, by Epi- charmus. out of Elaine. The contest nar- rowed down in the finals to a course be- tween Warburton and Astral Maid (Astron- omy-Mystic Maid). Siftpper Eagen sent the hounds away on even terms, and the run-up was as pretty ‘a piece of coursing as has ever been seen in | these parts, Warburton beating his rival to the hare by a very close margin. The hare was a good one, and gave the dogs a hard run, which was just to the liking of Lavin's big black, who kept close to the bunny throughout the course. Astral Maid began to drop back the latter part of the run, and was pretty well out at the finish, while Warburton seemed to be ab.e to keep up the pace a few minutes longer if cailed ‘upon to do so, though his owner stated that he was seven pounds over weight, and not in the best of condition. Astral Maid’s preliminary courses were ail comparativeiy easy ones, while Warbur- ton was called upon to extend himself sev- eral times, especially in the gemi-final, when Monsoon gave him a hard run.

Shorts Are Frightened, but the King, It Is Said, Has No Desire to Squeeze Them Very Hard. CHICAGO, Nov. 246.—During the forenoon today November corn, the visible supply of which has been cornered by George H. Phil- lips, sold twice at 50 cents. Mr. Phillips, having been sustained by the board committee in rejecting for contract new corn which had gone through a drying process, and encouraged by the small recetyits of corn of a grade which may be delivered on contracts, was quoted today as asserting his entire confidence that he controls the market. The market opened 1 cent higher than the close Saturday, the first bid being 46c per bushel. This was bid by Mr. Phillips, and within au hour and a half the price went to 50 cents, At this figure the young speculator made two sales aggregating 100,000 bushels. The price bid following the first sale at 50 cents was 49%c, but as no corn was forthcoming, the next bid was at the top figure. A little later Mr. Phillips jet out a small line at 48 cents. There are but four days more before the expiration of the time limit for the delivery of corn on November con- tracts, and shorts, by their nervousness to- day, showed their appreciation of the fact. It is stated that the man in whose power they are, however, has no desire to “squeeze” them with any severity. That he could do so, sending the price soaring, is generally believed. FOUND UNSANITARY BAKERIES. Deputy Labor Commissioner Anderson Completes Inspection Tour of State. In his recent tour of inspection through the state Chief Deputy Labor Commission- er Willlam Anderson discovered many in- stances of open violation of the provisions of the bakeshop law requiring perfect cleanliness and ventilation. In several cases he found roaches, wa- ierbugs and other aaa existe vermin due to defective drainag Nearly all of the. zmailer shops had neg- ay the periodical lime-washing required “i the law. The section stating that no em- oye is permitted to work more than six ays in one week was also found to have + violated extensively. In St. Louis he found the larger bakeries in excellent sanitary condition; but evi- dence has been secured against seven of the smaller shops which may result in their prosecution. Mr. Anderson states that in- frection has already brought about re- forms Accused of Robbery.—Tim Scanlan, a boy who recently arrived in 8t.

Dispensary Clerk John Pearsoll was sur- prised Monday morning to observe a large white gander stalking about the halls of | the anciént structure wherein the dispen- sary is located. Itis not often that a guose visits that institution. “T saw it first!’ cried a negro attendant, thinking of Thanksgiving and goose gravy. While they were debating as to the best mode of preserving the gander for Thanks- siving day, the intended victim stopped before the door of Dr. Kearney’s office and began to honk vociferously. Dr. Kearney heard the noise and opened his door. The gander marched im and stopped in front of a young woman -who was having a sprained wrrist attended to. “Why, Ruby, you bad old goosie!'’ ex- claimed the woman. “You mustn't follow me here.” It was Miss Florence Pentner of 121 Bouth Tenth street. She explained that Ruby was an educated gander. Ruby proved this by his performances. He followed his mis- tress like a dog. When she went into a store he stood on the sidewalk in front of the door and honked loudly for her. When she hid behind a big box the gander came back and searched her out. He would march or halt at her word of command. Ruby is very fat, and would have made a fine Thanksgiving dinner, but he saved his life by calling for Miss Pentner just in time. PROTEST AGAINST INCREASE. Pattonville People Don’t Want Rate of Fare Increased. About 30 citizens of Pattonville, St. Louls County, led by William Gentry, waited on the St. Louls County Court at Clayton Monday to enter protest against the court's action in granting the petition of the St. Louis, St. Charles & Western Electric Rail- way for permission to increase its fare from St. Louis to the Missouri river from 10 cents to 16 cents. The court took no action on the protest, but laid the entire matter over two weeks for consideration. They did not either ap- prove or disapprove the minutes of last Monday's session as regards the granting of the company’s petition. J. a” Nag ong president of the S5Bt. Louis, Charles & Western, and J. B. C. Lucas, am of the chief stockholders, were also before the court, prepared to defend their petition. The PattonviNe people say they are op- posed to the court's action, not merely be- cause it will make them pay 10 cents in- stead of 5 cents fare to St. Louis. They claim the precedent established by the court in its action is dangerous. Three Pleaded Guilty.—Three pleas of guilty were accepted in Judge Wood's court Monday and sentences were passed on the defendants. Maggie Connors, charged with grand larceny, pleaded guilty to petit larceny and was sentenced to the workhouse for six months. Herman Ofter was sentenced to five years in the renl- tentiary; Charles Harlow was sentenced to one year in the workhouse for assault to kill. Mother Was Assaulted.—Miss Myrtle Golden, 1414 Clinton street, swore out a warrant Monday, charging Henry Brueg- ger, who lives in the same house, with as- Saulting her mother, Mrs. Sarah Golden. | Sunday. Miss Golden told Assistant Pros- ecuting Attorney Johneon that Bruegger struck her mother with a clathes prop and that Dr. Kern, 1317 Madison street, says her Skull is fractured.

Nicholas Fessler, Nursing a Bruised Head, Swore Out a Warrant. Nicholas Fessler of Meacham’s Park, St. Louis County, head for a month as a result of some un- complimentary remarks he had made about the skill of Christopher Fink, Jr., a stone- mason. Fessler is a well digger, and Fink, the stonemason, is his neighbor. They have never been the best of friends, and have frequently been parties to quarrels of the “back yard” and “over the back fence” va- riety.

He advised her to have her in person make the application. Mrs. Fessler went home and followed the advice. She followed it for nearly a month before results came.

MONDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —NOVEMBER 26, 1900 Ur A MILLION - — Henry Seelig, Alleged Swind- ler, Is Under Arrest. POLICE SEEK HIS ACCOMPLICES HE HAS BEEN A FUGITIVE FOR FOUR YEARS. -__—— - His Method Was to Buy Goods From Many Wholesalers and to Dispose of Them and Then Disappear. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—Henry Seelig, al- Jeged to be a swindler and a fugitive from justice for four years, has been arrested here and held at police headquarters. He will be arraigned in the court of general ses- sions today to answer complaints frcm per- eons sca.tered all over the country. Four years ago, it is charged, as “BB. Blank,” he did business in this city, obtain- ing goods worth more than $500,000, which he disposed of for what he could get, making mo returns therefor. He is believed to have made a clear profit that year of $300,000. The first day after the police took charge of his office that year telegrams and letters came from 772 business firms calling for settlement of overdue claims. Later Beelig was in Brooklyn, and still’ later in several of the larger cities of the | West. Capt. McCluskey suspects that he or hia associates are even now running a swindle with headquarters in Chicago. He said that his arrest was an outrage and that he was the victim of mistaken identity. When taken to police headquar- ters he said that his name was Heinrich Beeley. He gave his age as 4 years and refused to say where he lived. He was locked up without any information having been obtained from him. The police are now meen to trace his brother and a man nam Matsener. CITY NEWS.

SHOVED ALONG BY FENDER Received Scalp Wounds and Internal | Injuries Which the Physicians | Say Are Serious. Andrew Seaver, 1817 South Jefferson ave nue, is at the City Hospital in a critical condition in consequence of internal in- juries which he received early Monday morning when he was run down by @ tran- sit car. Seaver was crossing Broadway and Mil- ler street when car 1707, under control of Motorman A. Cochran of 4031 South Broad- way bore down on him. He could not get out of the way in time and the moving conveyance struck him to the ground and shoved his body along the street in front of the fender for a distance of twenty feet. An ambulance was called and Seaver was conveyed first to the office of Dr. E. ©. Loewe, 1314 South Fifth street, where @ hasty examination revealed that the ugly wounds about the victim's scalp and face were the slightest part of his injuries. He complained of severe pains about the ab- domen and in his chest. At Dr. Loewe’s wegaess. the patient was hurried to the Cit ispensary, where Dr. Oatman confirmed the diagnosis of Dr. Loewe and ordered that Seaver be con- veyed at once to the City Hospital, where his mishap was termed serious. Neither Motorman Cochran nor Conduc- tor J. Medley, residing at the same ad- dress as his fellow trainman, was ar- rested by the police of the Soulard street station, who are investigating the cause of the accident. ARE WANTED IN IOWA. St. Louis Police Holding Two Men for Extradition. Henry Becker, alias Henry Wilsman, and Joseph Doyle, alias Frank Simpson, are being held by Chief Desmond for Sheriff Martin Evans of Marion, Linn County, Io. With four other prisoners Becker and Doyle broke jail in Marion on the night of Oct. 27 and escaped. They refuse to re- turn to Iowa without requisitions. They were originally arrested in this city sus- pected of being the men who halted and robbed Joseph Licklider and a companion at Lafayette Park a week ago. The vic- tims could not identify them. Assistant Chief of Detectives Smith thought that he recognized in the men the fugitives from Iowa whose descriptions he had in in his possession.

BOY HAS FAILED TO APPEAR ment With Mrs. Desso and That the Mother Is Keeping the Boy Away. Because Mrs. Julia de Forest of 10 Bois- menue avenue, East St. Louis, and Mrs. Elizabeth Desso of Winstanley Park had a disagreement which resulted in the sever- ance of neighborly ties, the former may have to pay a bond of $100. Jesse Pegg, aged 16, an adopted child of Mrs. Desso, was arrested last winter on the charge of larceny. His bond was fixed at $100 and owing to the friendly relations which had so long existed between Mrs. De Forest and Mrs. Desso the former was in- duced to yo as surety. The trial was set for the ril term of the City Court at East St. en and continued to the Bep- tember term, at which time Mrs. Deasso failed to produce Pegg. The two women had had a quarrel and Mrs. de Forest al- leges that on account of this disagreement Mrs. Desso purposely detained him from the trial in order that she would have to pay the $100 Mrs. de Forest has been served with a notice to appear before Judge Cook and show cause why she should not pay the amount. She was informed by the sheriff that she had a right to furcibly take him into court without’ invoking the aid of the officers. WRECKED ON A SANDBAR. Andrew Brown Passed a Night of In- tense Suffering. Andrew Brown, aged 17 years, of Mitchell, Ill., spent twenty-four hours on a sand bar near the mouth of the Missouri river, be- cause his skiff was washed into midstream by passing steamers. He had no matches with which to start a fire, and throughout the long hours of the night was compelled to keep continually moving in order to escape freezing. At daybreak Saturday morning he went to the water's edge and fired his gun sev- eral times as signals of distress. The at- tention of Fred Roewe and Anthony Mur- phy, two hunters from St. Louis, was at- tracted to the man and they rescued him from his unpleasant position. Brown was famished, faint and almost frozen. MADE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM. Judge Moritz Oehler of East St. Louis Monday imposed a fine of $200 on Jesse Gray for drunken and disorderly conduct. Jesse is an old offender, so often before the courts that Judge Oehler deemed it advisable to give him a fine that would “hold him fora while.’ lof Chicago and Indianapolis newspaper |men will be down for the opening, and the /event will be an important one, both in the BY WILLIAM COLLIER AND CO. MAJOR’S ROMANTIC STORY “ON THE QUIET,” a ¥ A WHIRLWIND COMEDY—‘“A LION’S HEART” CATCHES THE GALLERY. “How slow do you think he really is?” Seeks Willie Collier, in speaking of the Eng- lish duke. “I don’t think he’s started,” was the prompt reply of Willie's papa—not the real one, but the stage one—who is John Saville. Later on when they want to send Willie back to Yale for a course when he wants to marry the gir! of his choice, a friend re- marked: “Don't worry. “Go tell that to Bryan,”’ response. These lines haven't any thing particular to do with the story of the comedy which Gus Thomas has written and in which Mr. Collier and a capable company appeared at the Century Theater last evening, but they give an idea of the terse, snappy manner in which the lines are written. The play is a real comedy. It gives every- body a chance. it was so good that the man who tends to the curtain couldn't bear to drop it last night at the point where Mr. Thomas and Mr. Collier intended it to drop. But you couldn't biame him. That is to say, in the words of Mr. Collier's duke: “ONE couldn't blame him.”’ Somebody has named this new play “On the Quiet’—whether Mr. Thomas or Mr. | Colller doesn't appear. Supposedly it is so ~ nag from the fact that the hero of the. pia y marries the heroine that way. It must that, for nothing else is done on the quiet during the entire performance. Last night the applause started with the burning out of the fuse in the electric light connection —which threw the house into total darkness | for about five minutes just after the orches- tra made its appearance—and continued right through to the end. The production | is of the whirlwind variety, and Mr. Collier fen’t alone in furnishing the breeze. Every- body gets a chance from the Jap, who only Speaks half a dozen words, up to the star. Next to Mr. Collier, who 1s funny because | can’t help it, the most humor in the play is furnished by Cranley Douglas as_ the | duke, who has married one of the Colt mil- | lionairesses. The hero—that's Willie—wants to marry the other. but the family council, a la Gould, presided over by the big brother, laces such herd restrictions that the hero & almoat willing to give up $16,00¢.000 and | take the girl with a a paltry $4,000,000 Louise Allen-« ‘ollier is the girl Willle Wants, and you can't blame him.

WAR IS CONSIDERED ENDED Englishmen Want Lord Roberts’ Plans Carried Out at No Matter What - Cost in Men or Money. LONDON, Nov... 26.—A proclamation has already been printed appointing Lord Kitch- ener to the commandership-in-chief of the British forces in South Africa in succession to Lord Roberts, but, owing to the post- ponement of the departure of the field mar- shal for home, it.has not yet been made public. The proclamation will be issued im- mediately after Lord Roberts can fix a definite date for his return. It is expected that he will relinquish the command about Dec. 20, and in the event of Lord Methuen not coming back until the operations are finished. It is expected that Kitchener will receive the temporary rank of general in addition to the substantive one of lieu- tenant-general. If a statement that the treasury objects to a request by Lord Roberts for 20,000 more troops on the ground of expense should be verified, there will be a howl of indignation from all parts of the country. The average Englishman has the utmost faith in Lord Roberts, and would prefer to have his wishes carried out, no matter what the cost iA FRUIT. TRUST —_— MOVEMENT TO FORM AN INDE- PENDENT LINE OF STEAMERS. SUGAR INTERESTS INVOLVED The Sugar Trust Will Take a Hand Because the Arbuckles Are Inter- ested in the Fruit Trust. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—A conference has been held between the committee represent- ing the independent banana growers of Nicaragua and J. Lamotte Morgan and oth- ers to discuss plans for relief from alleged unjust treatment by the United Fruit Co. The committee consists of 8S. W. Hetton and Frank Turner of Rama, Bluefields riv- ‘er, Nicaragua. Mr. Morgan, formerly ef Birmingham, Ala., but now of this city, was identified with the sale to the company of Nicaraguan interests at the time it was formed. He is at present interested in a movement which may result in the estab- lishment of a direct steamship line to Nic- aragua independent of the company. The attendance at the meeting was small and western jobbers who were expected were not present. No definite or final action was taken at the meeting. The complaints made against the United Fruit Co., or its distributor, the Fruit Dis- patch Co., are, among other things, that the company has gradually increased prices until they are from 50 to 75 per cent higher might be. British veterans in comfortable corners of military clubs in London consider that | the war has been over for some time; but the truth has not been recognized by Lord | Roberts, who continues to issue long bulle- tins day after day, which are posted in the war office and transferred to the news- papers. Some of the most astute officers in Lon- 'don say that his policy will be abandoned as soon as Gen. command. There will be a proclamation af- firming that the Dutch ‘territories are com- pletely occupied and at peace, and from headquarters recording petty’ skir- mishes and insignificant acts of brigandage, which cannot be classed as incidents of real Such police work as remains will pass without observ ation and the Boers themselves will be convinced that the war is at an end when they. perceive that there is no longer any notice taken of what goes | IS NINETEENTH Per Capita Expenditures of the State For Use of the Mails Is $1.40, While Illinoisans Spend $32.08 Each.

One of those present at the meeting said that the committee had been approached by |New York representatives of financial in- terests in London to establish a direct steamship service, independent of the Unit- ed Fruit Co., from Nicaragua to this or other American ports. No definite decision has been arrived at, however, it is said, since the capitalists wished first to con- sult their London houses. A rather interesting feature in connection the states.

The New York jobbers are not organized as are the western jobbers and seemingly are not in very great sympathy with this movement against the company. The western jobbers are among the chief complainants against the United Fruit Co. and its adjunct, the Fruit Dispatch Co. nave already taken steps to establish steamship service whereby they can len port their own frult independently. West- ern jobbers are, perhaps, more dependent upon the company and its distributors than are the local jobbers, which may account for the comparative indifference of the lat- ter in this movement. It is rumored that the Arbuckles have es- tablished some sort of a connection with the United Fruit Co. at New Orleans af- fecting their sugar !nterests and that the American Sugar Refining Co. may become interested in the new independent steam- ship enterprise. with the object of compet- ing with the Arbuckles and thus becoming a formidable rival to the United Fruit Co.

HAD BARTENDER ARRESTED Krudwig Smelled Chloroform and Could Not Arouse His Dog, So He Asked for a Warrant. John A. Krudwig, manager of his broth- er's saloon at Eighth and O'Fallon streets, applied for a warrant Monday against Frank Nolte, a bartender, whom he charges with grand larceny. Krudwig told Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Johnson a peculiar story about the alleged robbery, one that the latter deemed worthy of investigation by Chief of Detect- ives Desmond, to whom he was sent. “I was left in charge of my brother's saloon last Wednesday. Nolte was work- ing for us. Saturday night I was drinking and shaking dice with friends at the bar. I began to feel strange ‘after taking sev- eral drinks. I did not suspect that any- thing was wrong. Several of the drinks intended for me I passed over to friends. They drank them and soon went to sleep. “We closed the saloon at 2 o’clock Sun- day morning. At 7 o'clock Nolte awoke me and said the saloon had been robbed. I did not have my right senses, and could detect the odor of chloroform. “TIT went out to Investigate and found my mastiff dog asleep on the floor. I could not arouse him. Nolte and I had slept to- gether in a room back of the saloon. ‘Upon investigation I found that a win- dow had been broken but, there were cob- webs on the inside of the window, show- ing that no one had crawled into it. “IT accused Nolte of ‘doping’ me and tak- ing $114 from the cash drawer. He denied it, but I had him arrested.”’ Officer Kennedy, who arrested Nolte, was instructed to take the prisoner before Chief Desmond.

Other legislation urged is as | follows: Authorizing postoffice inspectors to take | out search warrants whenever necessary, pera of incidental expenses incurred y local officers or others in the arrest, detention and “eo of prisoners violat- ing postal laws until transferred to the United States marshal’s custody; construc- tion of inspectors’ lookout towers in post- offices whenever deemed necessary by the Reagents & -general, and prohibition of oose pouching of circulars, calendars, etc., owing to small pleces of mail matter fre- quently slipping in large unsealed envel- opes in transit. A vigorous effort is to be made to sup- press postoffices conducted throughout the country for the sole benefit of some cor- ration, patent medicine firm or private nstitution, whose operations deprive the government of its legitimate revenues. The or corporation usually has some one connected with it appointed, postmaster and thus gets the advantage Mf the can- cellations or the salary and allowances of the postmaster. These institutions some- times have derived thousands of dollars of revenue from the government, which vir- tually amounted to a commission or dis- count on their postal business.
