FARISH RISKED LIFE TO SAVE SILVERWARE. 4“ Blaze was Started in the Basement Room of the Houseman by the Accidental Overturning of a Lamp. Attorney Edward T. Farish and his fam- iy fled for their lives at midnight from the burning residence, 3833 Delmar boule- vard, after the household had retired to rest. A sleepy houseman upset a lamp. Mrs. Farish,dn trying to save some fine silverware, was almost suffocated by smoke. She made a perilous exit down the Stairway after Mr. Furish had reached the open air. J. Rowe Webster of Boston, Yale grad- uate and private tutor to the sons of Henry Clay Pierce, the oil magnate, was held a prisoner on the roof until rescued by fire- men. He had thrown his mattress to the yard and knotted his bed clothing into a rope, preparatory to making a leap for life. “Ting,” the pet Chinese terrier of Mrs. Farish, was stifled while making a frantic effort to get out of the fire trap and per- ished in the basement. The outlines of the dog photographed by the smoke on the granitoid floor was a strange freak of the midnight terror. Edward Carroll, houseman, who accident- ally started the blaze. got out of the house y the rear basement door and gave the alarm. Mary Carter, colored cook, and Mary, her daughier, the housemaid, escaped through blinding smoke down a back stairway. : Started by an Overturned Lamp. The fire began in the cellar basement of the residence, which is three stories high. Carroll occupies an improvised room par- titioned off the rest of the basement bv thin boards. He arose from his bed at 11:45 Thursday night to replenish thé furnace. As he walked out of the small apartment he thinks he overturned a lamp on a stand near his pillow. The crackle of flames startled him as he was heaping coal on the furnace embers. Turning quickly he was confronted by a billow of fire that was already consuming the light woodwork. In attempting to smother the blaze with bed clothing his hands and arms were badly burned. Then realizing that it was tom late to extinguish the flames he rushed up the stairs leading to the kitchen and ran out into the yard, where he shouted an alarm that aroused the slumbering neighborhood. Daniel Russell of the Parker-Russell Fire Clay Co., residing next door, at 3837 Delmar avenue, with his father, Clark Kennerly, told Carroll where to turn in an alarm, and then attacked the front doors. Mr. and Mrs. Farish had been aroused by the cries and found their apartment, in the front of the house above the drawing room, fifed with smoke. Mr. Farish. who has not the full use of his lower limbs, start- ed down the front. staircase. after wrap- ping a dressing gown about him.. Mrs. Farish’s Struggle to Reach Safety.

When she reached the allway at the top of |the staircase the emoke blinded and choked her. Summoning her presence of mind, she fought her way down the stairs and fell into her husband's arms on the front steps of the house. She was hastily carried into the Kenneriv resi- dence and revived.

Ralph Eilers, manager of the Washington University football team for the season just closed. was expelled from the university on Wednesday last by a unanimous vote of the factulty, charged with responsibility for tle presence of “ringers’’ in the Washington team on Thanksgiving Day. Eilers was notified Monday of the charge preferred against him and was asked 19 submit a written defense. This he did. but the faculty refused to accept it and ren- dered a verdict of explusion without a dis- senting vote.

It is said by Eilers’ friends that there are others more rsponsible than the manager for the presence of professionals, and that Eilers, on account of his nominal re- snonsibility, was made the scapegoat for the sins of several.

Intrigues of Great Britain and Salisbury’s Diplomacy. } LISBON, Dec. 7.—The minister of the Netherlands to Portugal and the Portu- | guese minister at The Hague have left their respective posts. It Is belleved that a dif- ference has arisen on the subject of the exequatur to the Dutch consul at Lourenzo Marques, which the Portuguese govern- ment has withdrawn. Tension between Portugal and Holland | appears to have been emphasized, perhaps not altogether unintentionally by the pecu- liar warmth of King Charles’ toast to Queen | Victoria at the banquet given yesterday evening at the Royal Palace, to Vice-Admi- ral Sir Harry Holdsworth Rawson dnd the officers of the British fleet now in the Riv- er Tagus, and by the telegram which the King afterwards dispatched to Victoria, thanking her majesty for sending the fleet and for the friendship thus demonstrated. “I beg to record,” telegraphed the King, “my great satisfaction at the frank and loval alliance uniting England and Portu- gal.’’ In the course of his speech, when he toast- ed Queen Victoria, the King said among) other things: | “Wngland has often shared the efforts and | glories of Portugal. Our mutual friendship and close alliance are strengthened by his- tory and the blood_shed together in causes which have always been just.” Admiral Rawson replied that the words of the King harmonized with the thoughts of tain. MADRID, Dec. 7.-—-The Imparcial says it cunsiders the rupture of relations between Holland and Portugal to be very serious. It adds that it was due to the intrigues | of Great Britain, further asserting that Portugal is now under the tutelage of Lord Salisbury. Observers think that the speech and tele- gram constitute an intimation to the world that Portugal can count on strong support if necessary. - WELCOME TO KRUGER.

FAMILY GROUPED ABOUT HER WITNESS PALE, BUT NERVED TO THE TASK. Swears Positively that Mrs. Castle Called Her In, Upbraided and Then Strove to Kill Her With a Razor; Wit- ness Fought in Self-Defense. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ELDORADO, Kan., Dee. 7.--Pale, but nerving herself to the task, Jessie Morrison took the witness chair today and told her story of the kiging of Mrs. Olin Castle. Every inch of space in the courtroom, which has been crowded daily for the past three weeks, was filled with people long before the case was begun. Every day two- thirds of the audience has been made up of women and girls, and today was no ex- ception to the rule. Although every inch of space was packed there was perfect silence in the room when Judge Shinn called ‘Jessie Morrison,"’ and she made her way toward the witness chair. Olin Castle, widower of the mur- dered woman, had, earlier in the trial, told how Miss Morrison had forced her atten- tions upon him, and he was considered the State’s strongest witness. Miss Morrison was reserved by the defense to give its most telling evidence, and as she testified she faced Castle, who, surrounded by Mrs. Wiley, mother of the murdered woman, Mrs. Castle, his mother, and other members of the Castle and Wiley families, occupied a front seat in the courtroom, Father, Brothers and Sisters About Her. As the prisoner took the witness chair her relatives grouped themselves about her. They were her father, three brothers and | four sisters. This family group about the frail little woman accused of murder and whose words are relied upon to Dring the her side, presented a dramatic scene. As she faced the jury Jessie Morrison's face was pale, her lips tightly closed and her hands tightly clasping the arms of the chair. These hands are shapely, her fingers taper toward the ends and her nails are al- wavs well kept, and she wears a ring on the third finger of each hand. Her teeth are ‘even, but her lips are rather full but drawn down at the ends, her chin is firm and her jaws square. Some have said that her eyes are brown, and others have described them as gray. They are in reality a yellowish brown and their expression is mild. Miss Morrison has rather large, well-formed ears, a small nose and plenty of brown hair. While her face is not beautiful, there is nothing disagreeable about it. The witness was told to tell the judge the story of the auarrel which led to the tragedy in the Castle home. At first her voice was harsh, but it after- wards became more soft and was very low. Her Relations With Castle. Witness said she had known Castle since July, 1897, when she began to work in the Racket store where he was employed, and that she had known Mrs. Castie for about Six vears before her death. During the Summer of 1899 Castle had come to see her at her brother-in-law’s house from one to three times a week, and had taken her rid- ing frequently. He had written her a let- ter while he was at Whitewater, and she had answered it. She told about going to Excelsior Springs last January, and of Cas tle’s asking to come to see her on the night before she went away. ‘Just before he left, did you tell him you would fix him?’’ was asked.

She said she had asked him to return her letters and things, and he had replied: “You needn't worry; nobody as ever seen your letters and I guess I'll return them.” “Were either of you angry?” “TI was not.”’ “Did you use any expression or make any threatening movement or say, ‘If you don't you'll wish you had?” “No, sir.’’ Witness told that while at Excelsior Springs she had received several letters from him. ‘He asked me to wrile to him.

Miss Morrison told of Mrs. Castle wear- ing a tie that she (witness) had made for Castle, and of flaunting it in the prisoner's face and of Castle giving her a@ mirror, a fact that Castle denied on the stand. also told of Castle taking her ridi proposing that they drive past ‘Clara's house, “to make her jealous.’"’ Witness de- nied that she had met Castle in front of his house one night at 11 o'clock, as he had tes- tified, and demanded an interview. Her brother had, she said. taken her from a friend's house at 10 o'clock, and she was abed at 11.

Mrs. Castle fastened the screen door behind them; witness seated herself upon the lounge and Mrs. Castle sat near her in a chair. ‘Clara sat down in front of me,”’ said wit- ness, “and asked, ‘What do you mean by following Olin around?’ I said 1 was not.

NATIONAL LIFE THREATENED CIVILIZATION HAS UNDERGONE A REVOLUTION. Accumulation of Wealth Seems to Have Become the Worthiest Aim of Human Ambition. Dec. 7 diocese NEW HAVEN, Conn., -Bishop Potter of the Episcopal of New York, whose parishioners are the wealthiest fashionables of New York and Newport, d:- livered a startling address last night. He was speaking before the church club on “Wealth and Commonwealth.” “T choose this subject because of its para- mount importance,” he said. “Divorce, crime and corruption in all our cities have one root, the lust of money. The one eager, dominant hunger which salutes from end to another of our broad land is passion, the hunger, the greed of gain. “Challenge what method you will in the complicated web of our industrial, political or sacial life and you will find the question of gain behind it. Listen to what scandal you may in the haunts of politicians, in the camps of soldiers, in the ha!ls of fashion, the final standard in the whole business may be expressed by a dollar mark. “Tisten to the talk of children, as they measure and compare their clders. Hear @ group of young girls, whose fresn youth one would think ought, in the matter of their most tender and sacred affections, Lo be as free from sordid instinct as from the taint of a godless cynicism, and you will find that they have their price and are not to be had without it any more than a Cir- cassian slave in the market of Bagdad. “Go where you may, talk with whom you will—with clergymen estimating the prom- ise of a field for spiritua! labor, with wom- en rating the claims of other women upon their social recognition, with the heads of reat universities, paralyzed with fright est the indiscretions of some plain-spoken rofessor, who telis his age the truth in an our when it sorely needs to hear it, shail cut down the revenues’ of the college—it is no matter, the commer: ial question is at the bottom of it and decides usually al! the others.”’ Strife Among Fashiouables. Speaking of the strife among fashionables tv outshine their neighbors he exclaimed in holy horror: “We read the other day of a woman at the horse show whose attire was a dress miade of the skins of unborn lambs. What do you think of such a thing? Is not this a relic of barbarism?’ Persian lamb is made of skins of unborn | lambs whose mothers are killed to obtain | them. A New York paper said one morning of horse show week there recently: | ‘Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay was wrapped | in fur from head to foot. It was the famous, Persian lamb coat that she wore. On this the fur, which is jet black, is very short.” ‘The situation, grave and threatening as it is to all that is best in a natfon’s life, | is the result of causes that are not far to seek. They are to be found in the spirit of the age, in the ccnditions of our nationai life and in the standard of our personal values. “We may shout till we are black in the face that we are the greatest and the bravest and the biggest and the strongest and the richest nation in Christendom. but there comes a strange awe in the heart as we turn back and read of what kind of | etuff the tirst comers to these shores main- ly were made of.

Miss Homes was on hand much earlier than the others, though, reaching James Hardy's livery stable, Taylor and Delmar avenues, the rendezvous, before 8 o'ciock. It was three-quarters of an hour later when the Orthwein party appeared, and then they were all forced to wait an hour longer for Jack Leahy and the other men in the party. Mrs. Ralph Orthwein was most appro- priately attired for the trip in a dark blue, rainy-day skirt and a bright red sweater, over which seh wore a dark red jacket. Mrs. Max Orthwein also wore a short skirt, and both of these ladies “‘guyed'’ Miss Homes s00dG naturedly because she wore a trailing skirt. All the party were provided with enough overcoats and mackintoshes to stock a clothing store.

After that the state will present a few witnesses in rebut- tal, and then perhaps a day will be con- j sumed in the arguments over the court's instructions to the jury, and another day will be set aside for the addresses of the lawyers to the jury.

Defense Makes Many Objections. There is not a single step of the state that does not meet an obstruction of the de- fense. Objections are made a hundred times a day to the question addressed to witness- es and the answers made by them. The ma- jority of these objections are overruled by the court, but the lawyers for Miss Morri- son are careful that every objection which ee +e se. they make is copied fully in the record Of | the case. For if Jessie Morrison is convict- ed by this jury, an appeal will be taken at once. By constant and vigorous objections the counsel for the defense were able to ex- ‘clude from the jury some of the facta con- nected with the dying statement of Mrs. Clara Castle, but the essential facts were the same as those established before the _ Dr. Ambrose, Austin Brumback, r.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Consul-General Bray, at Melbourne, Australia, has for- warded to the state department informa- tion concerning the extension of the boun- daries of New Zealand, the annexation of the Cook and Savage groups of islands in the Pacific and indicating the contemplated action of the New Zealand government in establishing self-government in the Fiji Is- lands. When‘the latter plan has been ef- fected the consul states that an effort will be made by New Zealand to annex the Fijis also. This move, however, he says, is be- ing opposed by the other colonies, and es- pecially by the citizens of Sydney, N. 8.

Board Wants Taxpayers to Authorize Levy for Buildings. At next Tuesday evening's meeting of the board of education the question of holding a special election next spring, to vote on @ proposed tax for the erection of additional school buildings, will be discussed. It has been practically decided to hold such an election and the question of chief ‘interest at present is how to determine wha, as taxpayers, are entitled to vote on this question. Judge R. E. Rombauer, attorney for the board, called on Secretary Hobiit- zelle of the election board Thursday after- noon and a conference was held on this question without defin'te results.

The house its occupied by Thomas Galer | and his family, consisting of his wife and his 10-year-old daughter, Laura. At thej| hour named they were awakened by an ex- plosion that jarred the entire building and huried plastering and dust throughout the house. When they opened their eyes they couid see the rear part of the house was in flanies. Neighbors were aroused by the explosion and tiey rushed on the scene and had tne fire extinguished before the arrival of the fire department. Friday morning the house was found 10 be dismantied and a \hole two feet wide and extending to the ceiling showed from the outside what had occurred. The buiiding is in the center of a row of smal) frame structures. It is separated from a similiar house om the east by a walk not more than three feet wide. The kitchen is the room on the north end of the build- ing. The fire evidentty had its origin be- tween the stucding in this room. ‘ihe fire started at a point about five feet from the ground. The biaze was confined between the studdirg and arose to the garret and spread over the roof. The gy ee ye spare 4 was burned off and one can Icok through the wall. There is no indication of an ex- plosion at this point. It looks as though the fire started between the weatherboard- ing and the inner walls. Thomezs Galer is a laborer, but has been out of employment several months. He cannot expiain the cause of the fire. There is no gas in the house and there was no fire in the kit .hen stove, the only stove in the house. He and his family had been in bed several hours and were fast asleep when they were awakened by the noise of the ex- plosis.n.

But the Senate is more certain. It pays little attention to the clamor of constituents |against clerical extravagance and once its staff is made up there is no change. At least that has been the rule in the past. | And it is true, too, that the Senate, al- , though it is less than one-third the size of the House numerically, has as many employes as the lower body. The majority senators affect private secretaries and such other luxuries as may be secured by appro- priations for salaries. Good Offices In the Senate. The elective officers of the Senate are a president pro tem., who is of course a member, and whose position does not in- crease his salary; a secretary, who is only i second to a senator in influence, and who. if | he ‘even be unscrupulous, may make himself more valuable than a senator to the lobby, on account of his.control and direc- tion of all clerical work and documents; an assistant secretary, a _ sergeant-at- arms, doorkeeper and chaplain. All of these except sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper draw $ a day, and the chaplain gives for his salary about five minutes of his time each day The other bv Senate are Senators, al- employes of the the Democratic ments are made by the secretary. The Lieut. Governor and President has the ment of only one page. At the last session the Senate inaugurated the practice of allowing each member, in- | clerk or | cluding Republicans, a personal secretary, in addition to the regular allot- ment which last session amounted to six for each Democrat. Elective Jobs in the House. The elective officers of the House are a! | speaker, speaker pro tem, chief clerk, as- sistant chief clerk, sergeant-at-arms, door- . | keeper, chaplain, enrolling clerk, engrossing She says she began eating rich and | clerk and folder. Each of these except the folder, sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper draws $ aday. The folders of Senate and Hiouse get $4 a day and the sergeant-at- arms and doorkeeper receive .$3.50 a day All committee and other clerks draw others, $1.50 and the pages $1.50 a day. In the House the chief clerk has the ap- pointment of all clerks in his department, But in late years no chief clerk has exercised his prerogative to appoint whom he pleased. The places have been parcelled out among the members who supported the winner, to the injury of the service and occasiona'ly to the disgrace of the House. Under this system competence and reliability are not the standards and nepotism and favoritism have crept into the service, The'enrolling and engrossing clerks ap- point their clerks under the same system (Chairmen of committees appoint committee uniess the speaker ts of the kind that demands patronage as a reword for his faver in appointing the chairmen. In that case the speaker has appointed committee clerks. These abuses grew so flagrant in the ses- sion of 18% that the taxpayers became aroused and many a man who failed to be renominated this year may charge his fall- re to his participation in the clerical force scandal. his popular uprising may cause an economical policy during the coming session. At each session of the Legisiature some- body offers a bill providing for the letting out of clerical work by contract. But po- litical considerations always weigh st economy on that plan and the progressed seriously. PORTER QUARLES CLAIMED HE WAS GAGGED AND ROBBED. COBWEBS ON THE TRANSOM Clever Lieutenant of Police Convinced Him and Quarles Confessed He Had Taken the Money. The Scottish spider once saved a king's life by weaving a web over the cave of the royal Bruce. Now comes a St. Louis spider whose web cleared a mystery and led to a culprit’s undoing. J. Quarles, porter in Michael Gleen’s sa- loon at 1038 North Third street, has con- fessed to the police that he knocked him- self down, placed a gag in his own mouth and tied his own hands, early Friday morn- ing, in order to prove that robbers had looted his employer's cash drawer.

He said that, like a faithful watchdog, he had bat- tled nobly to protect his employer's money, but had been overcome and tied. After the robbers left, he managed work loose his bonds and stagger to police station, he said. Lieut. McKenna listened and solemniy winked. He went to the saloon and watched Quarles demonstrate how the robbers en- tered over the transom. Then he said: “Kook at the spider webs, Quarles, how did the robbers fall to brush them off?’ Quarles wilted at the sight of the musty transom, cobwebbed like a bottle of wine. He took the polce to the cellar and showed them $14 under a pile of coal. The money was returned to the cash drawer. Quarles said he had tied himself and waited two hours for some one to discover his plight. No one came and he grew tired and went to the station with his tale. MURDERER BEHEADED. Unusual Execution in the Prison of Ploetsensee. RERLIN, Dec. 7.—August Goenczi, the Hungarian wh murdered a wealthy widow named Schulz a).d her daughter here in i897, was beheaded this morning in the prison o! Ploetsensee. The murder was an atrocious one and was committed in the center of Berlin. The murderer was ultimately traced to Brazil through a pet dog and was ar- rested at Rio Janeiro a year ago. Capital punishment ts so unusual here that the execution attracted considerabic attention. It was only yesterday that the court of criminal appeal confirmed the sentence of death passed upon Goenczi. His victims were miserly persons who were known tu have conceaied large sums of money in heir houze on Koenig-Graetser strasse, Th trial of Goencz!l was remarkable from th: ‘act that he invented for the purpose of hi: lefense a Man whom he called ‘Loewy’ and persuaded a number of persons tha’ “Joewy’ was in evidence and that he haa seen him, ; to the : lider. |M.

Mr. Julian Barnett, well known locally in cotton circles as a successful broker, died at his home, 5024 Westminster piace, Thursday evening at 8 o'clock of edema of the brain. Mr. Barnett was born in Vicksburg in 1854. His father was Judge Richards Bar- nett, a prominent lawyer and member the judiciary of the town. He entered the cotton business in Vicksburg and contin- ued’ to follow it in that city up to 13 years ago, when he came to St. Louis: He here joined Mr. T. C.

A cerebral trouble set in, however, producing a_ suffusion of brain. Mr. Barnett was also well acquainted in church and musical circles. He joined the Catholic church six years ago and sang in the choir of St. Xavier's.

APOLOGY IS OFFERED DR. I. H. CADWALLADER WRITES TO FATHER E. J. DEMPSEY. BAPTIST SANITARIUM INCIDENT Priest Wished to Administer Extreme Unction to Patient and Young Interne Declined to Leave the Room. Rev. Father E. J. Dempsey, pastor of the Catholic Church of the Visitation, Taylor and Haston avenues, has received from Dr. I. H. Cadwallader, superintendent of the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium, an apology for gan incident which occurred when he called at that institution about a week ago to ad- minister the last sacraments of the church to the late Mathew J. Rigney, a well- known carpet salesman, who was on his death bed at the time. ‘The incident was the refusal of one of the young assistants to leave the sick room While Father Dempsey wished to adminis- ter extreme unction. After some argument, the young physi- cian finally receded from his position and Father Dempsey administered the last rites to the dying man with no one else in the room. At the time Father Dempsey said nothing about the matter to the hos- pital authorities, but, as the incident be- came gossiped about throughout the parish, he decided to call on Dr. Cadwallader. This he did Tuesday evening of this week. On Wednesday Father Dempsey received the following communication: “Reverend Sir: in reply to your inquiry whether this institution permits Catholic priests to administer the last sacraments to members of the Catholic church in our sani- tarium, permit me to say that it does and that it is pleased to have them do so. “In regard to the Rigney incident, of which you spoke to me, 1 regret very much that it occurred. 1 was not present at the time you visited the institution and am very sorry that any discourtesy was shown you. | *“Respeetfully Yours, x ae M CADWALLADBER, M. D.” “The incident is closed as far as I am concerned,’ said Father Dempsey to the Post-Dispatch Friday morning. ‘Dr. Cad- Wallader has apologized for the manner in Which I was treated. Dr. Cadwallader had hnething to do with it, however. lt was a oy wed physician whose name I do not know. asked him to leave the room when I was about to administer extreme unction and he refused to do so at first. Before he did leave he spoke in a manner that was very offensive to me. When I called on Dr. Caa- Waliader he expressed regret that the inci- dent. had occurred.” “Yes, one of our internes was discour- teous to Father Dempsey,” said Dr. Cad- Wallader Friday, “and I do not blame the priest for feeling offended. The doctor in question is a young man—one who just apg from medical college last vear. © was in direct charge of the sick man. He was with him constantly and was try- ing to keep him alive. When the priest Came into the sick room he was there with two nurses. When the young doctor was asked to leave I believe he told Father Dempsey that he was there to k: ep the pa- tient alive and wanted to stay for tnat reason. I believe he asked Father Dempsey if he thought he could do the dying man any food. [ can hardiy blame Father mpsey for feeling offended at such a re- mark as that.

REFUSED TO PAY THE JAILOR TRIED THE DRESS TO SHOW THE JUSTICE. Justice Bobertson Has Given the Par- ties Until Saturday to Agree Along the Lines of His Opinion. Sartorial jurisprudence is the latest line of study that has been taken up by Justice of | the Peace John C. Robertson, the presiding | genius of the temple of Solomon at 805 North | Markét street. He has found that a famili- | arity with this rare and weird branch of | legal lore will be necessary to properly ad- | judicate the litigation arising out of the, refusal of Mrs. Eugene L. Isaacs of 4609 | Westminster place to pay J. Rosenstein the | contract price for a tan-colored tailor-made | dress, Mrs. Isaacs, who is the wife of the presi- | dent of the Isaacs Decorative Co., is neith- er ntall nor slender. Expert architects of stylish gowns say her figure is rather diffi- | cult to fit. Mr. Rosenstein, whose place of business is in the Mermod-Jaccard building, thought he would be able to do so, however, and agreed to construct a gown of a fash-| ionable shade of tan for $35. When the gown | was sent to Mrs. Isaacs she refused to ac-| cept it on the ground that it didn’t fit. Rosenstein waited a while and then filed | suit. The case went to trial before Justice | Robertson Thursday afternoon. It took only a few lines of evidence to convince the court that the most important legal problem for him to decide was whether the dress was a good fit. So he readily acquiesced when Mrs. Isaacs agreed to try it on. He gave her the key te a private apart- ment and the proceedings weer suspended for amout ten minutes. Then Mrs. Isaacs; returned, clad In the Rosenstein creation. “See, your honor, how that skirt draws ) up in front,’’ exciaimed her attorney, Louis | D. Goodman. ‘Notice how the lapels on | the jacket bob up, when they should lie! perfectly flat. Then there is a wrinkle in | the hip and the buttons are not in a row, | shoulders that | does not belong there and——”’ | “I have padding in the shoulders of my | coat, too,’’ observed the court at this junc- ture, ‘“‘that I did not order specifically, but I have not refused to pay for the coat on | that account.”’ | Mr. Goodman then put a Miss Lippus on | the stand. She qualified as an expert by explaining that she was the forewoman in | another ladies’ tailoring establishment.

Powers, Rosenstein's at- torney, got in his work at this juncture and produced another expert, who declared that the blemishes in the Rosenstein dress as a work of art tailoring were very slight. ‘From the evidence,” quoth the court “it seems to me that the defense may properly contend that the dress is not a perfect fit. But f am not convinced that the dress is s0 imperfect a fit that the defendant ought to be excused altogether from paying the plaintiff for his labors.”’ Then, with a look of Solomon-like wis- dom, the court added: “It would seem fair to me for the defendant to accept the dress and for the plaintiff to allow her to have it at a reduced price. I will continue the case to Saturday to give both sides an oppor- tunity to agree along the lines I have sug- gested.’’ But the court fears they may not agree and that fs the reason he is reading up on sartorial jurisprudence, as he will have an exceptionally fine point ‘to decide if the par- ties do fail to agree.

CORSICANA, Tex., Dec. 7.—Strongliy pa- trictic was the meeting of the Texas Divi- sion of the Daughters of the Confederacy in this city. Its features were the speech on presentation of the returned Texas hig by Mrs. Mary A. Lull of Milford, N. the acceptance of same by Miss Nance Palestine, Tex., and the speech of the last member of President Jefferson Davis’ cab- inet, Judge John H. Reagan of Palesti.te, Tex. Mrs. ot! Lull’s presentation speech was a beautiful piece of patriotic word painting, | and it stirred the hearts of the southern women present to the very core. The flag, the distinguishing mark only of which is a lone star, was captured in the charge of the Eighth New Hampshire Vol- unteers on Port Hudson, La., May “i, 1562. This is the regiment that Lieutenant- Colonel Lull commanded, and he sent the flag home as a souvenir of that great fight. Recently Mrs. Lull put herself in com- munication with the officers of the Texas Division, United Daughters of the Confed- eracy, and offered to turn over to them the fiag, which had been in her keeping for s0 many yeurs. The offer was accepted, and the invitation to attend a reunion of the Daughters was extended and accepted, and in fulfilling Ahe acceptance Mrs, Lull * came South. ; Mrs. Lull said: ‘‘The invitation extended to me by your president gave me real pleas- ure, and | have come a long distance to ac- cept it and meet your division of the Uni- ted Daughters of the Confederate States.

THE CAUSE OF TILL THEY WED) St. Louis Widow Marries a of Terre Haute | the United States military camps during the ARMY TYPHUS —— Surgeon-General Sternberg Makes His Report. DUE TO POOR SANITATION OVER 20,000 CASES DURING THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. He Advances the Belief That the Con- tagion Was Carried From Camp to Camp and Soldier to Sol- died by Flies. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Surgeon-General | Sternberg made public today a report upon the origin and spread of typhoid fever in his in- Major of 1898, board consisting prepared at of Spanish war Stance by a tor C. Vaughan, division surgeon, U._ 5. V.. and Major Edward O. Shakespeare, brigade surgeon, U. S. V. The surgeon gen- eral prefaces the report by calling atten- tion to the vast amount of work the medical corps was called upon to perform during the war, in order to cope with the tre- mendous increase of the army in the field, and comments upon the widespread preva- lence of typhoid in 1898, 20,000 cases of this disease appearing among the troops en- camped within the limits of the United States from May until September of that year. A general summary of the conclusions reached by the board indieates that during the Spanish war every regiment constitut- ing the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Army Corps developed ty- phoid fever, this being true of both the vol- unteer and regular commands. More than 9 per cent of the volunteer regiments are shown to have developed typhoid within eight weeks after going into camp, and the fever developed also in certain of the reg- ular regiments within three to five weeks after the tents went up. Typhoid became epidemic in all camps, large and small, north and south, and was found to be so widely distributed in this country that one or more cases were likely to appear in any regiment within eight weeks after assembly, whether on the march or stationary. Surroundings Not Always the Cause. It is also stated that with typhoid fever as widely disseminated as it is in this coun- try the chances are that if a regiment of 1300 men should be assembled in any sec- tion and ee in a —— having the most perfect sanitary conditions, one or more eases of the fever would develop. Never- theless it was found that many commands during the war were unwisely located, that the space allotted to regiments was in some instances entirely inadequate, and _ that many regiments were allowed to remain on cne site too long. There were regiments at Chickamauga which did not move a tent from the time of their arrival in May to their departure late in August. Requests for changes in loca- tion made by medical officers, on account of the unfit condition of the camps in ques- tion, were not always granted. instances camps were set up in the face of earnest protested against the sanitary unfitness of the sites selected. Doctors Should Have Authority. The camps became very filthy In general, it is stated, and line officers are thus held responsible to some extent for the unsani- tary conditions that developed. In this con- | nection the board suggests that greater au- | thority be given medical officers in ques- | tions relating to the hygiene of camps. The board condemns in general the meth- | od of disposing of the excretions of thre | human body and fecal matter, holding that | a lack of proper facilities in this respect was in a large measure responsible for the) Where in perma- | nent camps, it is suggested that all fecal | prevalence of fever in the camps. water carriage cannot be secure matter be disinfected, and then carted away from the camp, and the board has made 2. special recommendation iron troughs containing milk of lime be utilized for this purpose.

Henry Wambhoff, a police court attorney, died suddenly early Friday morning at his home, 2819 N. Twenty-first street. He was 5/ years of age, a native of Holland and had ben a resident of St. Louis since boyhood. About 4 o'clock Friday morning Mrs. Wamhoff was awakened by the no.se of her husband falling out of bed. She called to him. but received no answer. Then she summoned her daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Phelps, who occupied the ad- joining room, and her son-in-law, and they placea the body on the bed. Mrs. Phelps supposed her father had fainted and a physician was summoned. The doctor said death had probably re- sulted from the fall. At the inquest, con- ducted by Deputy Coroner Frank Boogher, apoplexy was assigned as the cause of death. Wamhoff had a Mr. been in apparently rood health, but in September he. was the victim of an assault that occurred in the Four Courts corridor, and it was first be- lieved that the injuries then sustained might have hastened the end. Dr. Boogher said, however, that Wamhoft had only received scalp wounds, which had ntirely healed. Attorney Wamhoff was a member of the Ancient Order of Untted Workmen. le was a familiar figure in the Dayton Street Police Court, and seldom missed a session of that tribunal.

NEW OFFICER FOR TRANSIT | Second Vice-President Has Been Select- ed to Assist President Whitaker In His Duties. An official of the transit company told the Post-Dispatch Friday that the man who was to become second vice-president of the company had already been selected. President Whitaker says he is not yet ready to discuss this man's identity and that the announcement of his selection will be made at the proper time. The conclusion to appoint a second vice- president to assist Mr. Whitaker in the conduct of the vast properties of the com- pany was reached Thursday afternoon at a meeting of the directors of the company which was attended by Messrs.

PRACTICAL: CHARITY. The boiler maker out of employment who contributed 50 cents to the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund was poor in pocket but rich in heart. Acts l.ke this suggest the thought that there is plenty of sympathy in the world ready to accept any draft for help. Many who have an abundance of charity, yet do not do their utmost because the opportunity is not brought to them. This is what the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund is for. It is to give effect to the charity latent in every heart. It provides an avenue through which Christmas cheer can be conveyed to the greatest number of those who need it. It is an opportunity to exercise practical charity. Rich and poor, young and old have a common ground upon which they can meet as helpers of their kind. = — = i ie The subscriber to the World’s Fair Fund is a good citizen, but what a patriot is the “additional’ subscriber! toe CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Mrs. McKinley is a wise woman when it comes to shopping, She has taken time by the forelock by doing her holiday shopping nearly three weeks before Christmas, and the White House has received a lot of toys that will relieve her of all anxiety on that score when the big rush sets in. Shoppers in St. uis should take Mrs. McKinley as an example in this important work. ‘The indications are that the cruch and flurry this year at the stores will be greater than ever. Now is the time to avoid the crowds and get the best service and the first pick of good things. Even Santa Claus gets off his balance when the hours are few and the ‘shoppers have delayed too long. The only way to have real satisfaction in Christmas shepping is to do it before Christ- mas is at hand. ———_————_-- o¢ Four railroads now control the output of bituminous coal to tidewater and will next year advance coal rates 10 per cent.

Leg- islation must be pushed through Congress before March 4 and the sooner the fund is completed the sooner can this be prepared and its success assured. Moreover, the state legisla- tors meet in January and they will want to take action which they cannot do unless the fund is in hand. The enthusiasm of the past two weeks has been very abun- dant and vital. It should be kept white hot until the work is done. i A The severest censure of a coroner’s jury cannot restore to life the unfortunate who gets in front of a street car fender that does not fend. = |] = i id THE MUMMY AS AN IDEAL. A Chicago doctor who wants to pose as a health faddist says that “exercise is detrimental for men past middle life.” This is really a wonderful discovery—if true. Exercise is merely the use of the muscular system. Whatever beneficial effects it has consist in the stimulation of the circulation of the blood and the consequent consumption of waste and renewal of tissue in the muscles and organs. It also, if it be of the proper kind, keeps the muscles flexible and the joints in good condition. . if a man past middle life ought not to exercise he ought not to use his muscles. Nor ought he to think, because think- ing exercises his brain, and that might be detrimental; in facet, he ought not to breathe, for that is exercising his lungs, and he ought to give all his organs a complete rest. If our Chicago man is right the man past middle age ought not to live-—it may be detrimental. The mummy geems to be the ideal man-past-middle-life, according to the no-exer- ¢cise-past-middle-life faddist. = = % rr The Queen's speech is only three sentences.

ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT. - The Morrison-Castle murder case presents a most inter esting problem. On the one hand Jessie Morrison claims that the killing of Mrs. Castle was done in self-defense. On the other hand, the prosecution brings forward the dying wom- ans written statement that the act was deliberate murder. Who speaks the truth, the accused or the accuser? Heretofore, an ante-morten statement hag been looked upon as the very word of truth. It has been supposed that. in face of death, no mortal would dare to prevaricate. But is this a fact in our day, when ideas of future punishment have been so greatly modified? Can we rely upon the ante-mortem statement as our fathers could when theology had not re- laxed one fota of its orthodox hold upon the mina? Jessie Morrison has the finger of a dead woman pointing her out as a murderess. But is she one? It will be one of the hardest cases that a jury was ever called upon to decide. The decline of political interest among the voters of the South may not be a serious matter if their state affairs are managed wisely and economically. -_—_—— i i PECK’S BAD BOY. - ExSGév. George W.

GOVERNORS IN WASHINGTON HE IS EN ROUTE TO BRAZIL THEY WILL ASK CONGRESS TO|sERUM MANUFACTORY TO BE GRANT STATE RIGHTS. They Are Also Desirous of Participat- Mexican ing Equally in the $10,000,000 Appropriation for Irriga- tion Purposes. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—A conference fraught with muck ‘promise for the people of Arizo- na and New Mexico was held here last night. Gov. N. O. Murphy of Arizona and Gov. M. A. Otero of ‘New Mexico were the two conferees and immediately after conference Gov. Murphy left for Washing- ton to inaugurate the campaign which has for its object the admission of the two ter- ritories to statehood and the repeal of the clause in the Shafroth irrigation bill that excludes the territories from participation in the proposed irrigation appropriation of $10,000,000. Both of the territories desire to take on the maturer honors of statehood and in both the people have empowered their governors to intercede wkh the au- thorities at Washington. Gov. Otero, in discussing his mission and that of Gov. Murphy to Washington, said: “We are members of the governor's com- mittee that is to be present at the centen- nial exercises at the capital next Wednes- day. Weare going to Washington for other reasons, however, and we are in hopes that Congress can be prevailed upon at the pres- ent session to pass bills admitting the two territories to statehood. “The people of both territories are very anxious for the honor and they have often expressed their desire to have the matter brought before Congress. They waited upon me a short time ago, and although I felt it would have been better to have had the legislature take the first action, still they have been so clamorous for immediate ac- tion that we are to try to get a bill througn the present session. “Another piece of législation that we are to make every effort to effect 1s the naming of New Mexico and Arizona in the irrigation bill that Congressman Shafroth has intro- duced. For some unaccountable reason ‘the names of the two territories have been omitted in the measure which calls for an appropriation of $10,000,000 for the purpose of constructing an irrigation system in sever- al of the western states. Just why ‘the names of New Mexico and Arizona should be omitted we are at a loss to determine. The only reason that we can see for the omission is that the Congressman from Colorado is making an effort to aid our cause by advancing an argument why we should be admitted to the family of states. “Why, we are wards of the government, and as wards are entitled to even more consideration than states, and we trust that our plea for a share and a good share in the appropriation will not be set aside.”’ the HAS MASTERED YELLOW - — Tells of His Plans.

Although Dr. Ballinzaghi spent only two months in Mexico he treated about fifty cases of yellow fever in 8 per cent of these cases. He sald that he would remain in New York about a week, and that he would return to the United States from Brazil early next year. Fle is accompanied here by R. L. Summer- lin of San Antonio, Tex., near which city he expects soon to establish a laboratory for the manufacture of the serum, which has attracted the favorable attention of the Mexican authorities. “I desire,’’ said Dr. Bellinzaghi in an interview, ‘“‘to place my discovery at the disposal of the United States as I believe it will be of marked value to the sufferers from yellow fever in the states along the gulf coast. My experience in the Republic of Mexico, both In the treatment of yellow fever and in immunizing persons liable to it, have been most satisfactory and con- vincing.”’ Dr. Bellingaghi takes special pride in the case of David Kilpatrick, an American who had contracted yellow fever and whose case was brought to his attention in Vera Cruz. Kilpatrick’s case was regarded as hopeless. Four applications were made and Kilpatrick -recevered. This strengthened the confidence of the local authorities in Dr. Bellinzaghi's dis- covery and the Mexican government ex- ressed its desire to obtain from him his nterest in the new remedy. The offer was not accepted as Dr. Belliznaghi did not desire to place the entire control of his dis- covery in the hands. of the government, It is the plan of Dr. Bellinzaghi and those associated with him to establish hospitals for the cure of yellow fever in Vera Cruz, Havana, Panama, Venezuela and other places. These hospitals will be supplied with the newly discovered serum from the establishment in Texas. ee BATTERY A.’S MASCOT A LITTLE WHITE BULL DOG HAS WANDERED AWAY - —— = Otto Freudenstein’s Dog, That Went to Porto Rico With His Battery, Disappeared From the Fam- ily Homestead. “Jim,”’ the little white bulldog that made the historic trip to Porto Rico as the mas- cot of St. Louis Battery A and who has since occupied the same close relation to that aristocratic military organization, is mysteriously missing. He,wandered Wednesday afternoon from the home of the Freudenstein family, where he made his residence when off duty, and failed to report at the family roll cal Thursday morning. Otto W. Freudenstein, the particular member of the family who claims a vested interest in this patriotic eanine, immediately upon discovering his loss began planning for his recovery. He has advertised that he will pay a reward for his safe return to the family circle and has enlisted the aid of the police and the battery boys in the search for his body, dead or alive. Mr. Freudenstein thinks he has not been put to death by the enemy an that ‘‘Jim’s’’ military training will enable him’ to escape from his captors ere many hours elapse. “Jim’’ is about three years old now. He was presented to the Freudenstein family when a mere infant. He was eight months old when Battery A was called into ser- vice. Otto Freudenstein and his brother, Will, were both members of the organiza- tion. Otto did not go to war, but he con- sented to Will taking the bull pup with him.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The report of the third assistant postmaster-general shows that the total receipts from all sources of postal revenue during the year amougted to $102,354.579, while the expenditures reached $107,740,267. The value of the total number of pieces of stamped paper issued to postmas- Sehmitt earned the | The | qualifying series of class “‘B"” games will | ters was $97,687,771, a net increase over the issue of the previous year of $7,536,111. | The report says that the most of | abuses of the second class of mail matter | have been eliminated or curtailed, but urges | legislation on “book serials,’’ “premiums | for subseriptions’ and the “return of un- | sold matter to news agents.” It is also asked that Congress be urged to pass an act consolidating the third and fourth classes of mail matter. Recom- mendation is made that the sum of $10,000 be appropriated for the issuance free to the public of a pamphlet containing postal in- formation for reference. | The report comments upon the excessive | number of articles registered free by the executive departments and says the abuse of the registered mail in this respect wil! continue until Congress acts in the matter It is said that could the amount paid as indemnity for lost registered first-class domestic mail be raised to the full value, not exceeding $200, many letters which now pass in the ordinary mails would be gath- ered into the registered mails. An indem- nity fund not exceeding $25,000 is estimated to be sufficient for this purpose. — -----— eee —— ARMY BILL HAS PASSED. Adopted by the House and Now Goes to the Senate.

THEY PREFER THE GRANGE Apprehension that the Movement for Labor Union Means Control of Wages Paid to Farm Hands. The seventh annual meeting of the St. Clair County Farmers’ Institute was held Thursday and Friday at the Courthouse in Belleville. Ther was a large attendance of farmers from all parts of the county and a good many from neighboring counties. Pres- ident Joseph Miller was in the chair end Miss Laura Patterson acted as secretary. Thursday the president delivered his annual address. He was followed by County Su- perintendent of Schools Churies Hertel, who read a paper on “Orcharding.”’ In the afternoon Euclid N. Cobb of Mon- mouth delivered a lecture on ‘‘Up-to-Date Dairying,’’ and Miss Blanche Smith of Free- burg read a paper on ‘Fertility of the Soil.” Both papers were discussed. The opening of the quéstion box broug)ii | out several animated discussions. One was: in reference to the advisability of farmers! joining unions, as is now being agitated in some parts of the county und in adjoining counties. Half a dozen of the leading farmers spoke. They were unanimously opposed to farmers joining the new organization, which is being put forward for their ap- proval. Their opinion was that the veiled purpose of the organization was to com- pel them to observe certain hours and pay certain wages to farm hands. They de- elared that they could not be made to believe that the persons who were forward- ing the movement cared anything about what prices they should receive for their products. Nearly all who spoke advised that farmers identify themselves with the Grange. Thursday night a Domestic Science meet- ing was held, presided over by Miss Patter- son. An address was delivered by Mrs. 8. Rose Carr of Jasper County, and there was an open discussion, which was taken part in, not by the women, but by the men, who claimed the right to part of the blame for shortcomiugs in the homes along the lines of domestic science. Friday yop A. g.. Grout of Winchest- er read a per on fpe and l > Farm Stock,’’ and Frank Moore ~ ge a paper on “The Farmer as a Rusiness an.’ In the afternoon business was transacted, and there was a general dis- cussion of the farm situation, and Mrs Carr delivered an address on “Poultry for Pro 2?" .

The Baltimore & Ohio Raflroad Co. was lately waited on by a committee of the request for an advarfice in the wage scale. The appeal was promptly answered by an increase to $1.25 per day for trackmen and $5 a month increase to foremen of track gangs. It is estimated that this increase ‘in wages to the track department employes will cust the company’s treasury anywhere from $80.- ) 000 to $90,000. The brotherhood regards it as a big concession by a road on which only about 50 per cent of the men are members of the organization. The Grand division of the Brotherhood of Railway Trackmen of America concluded its annual session Thursday afternoon by the re-election of John T. Wilson of this city for the seventh consecutive time as grand chief. His duties will also include that of grand secretary and treasurer, while the executive board will have the auditing end of the accounts, as heretofore. Among other features of business transacted was a revision of the insurance system of the organization, which now gives the same privileges to all classes of membérs. Mhe method of organizers operating in the field was partly changed, while the ritualistic work was also improyed. Then there was a deal of work that necessarily came under the order of secrecy. The brotherhood is in a tine condition, with big prospects ahead for extension in membership. There were 126 delegates at the convention, represent- ing subordinate divisions all over this coun- try and Canada. The headquarters wil!

The eight-hour-a-day system was inau- gurated along the road last Tuesday. Hith- erto the knights of the key on the Santa Fe have been worked onrenere from 18 to 20 hours out of every 34.

The movement which began some time ago to bring about an amalgamation of the many shop mutual aid organizations in St. Louts Is progressing rapidly. It is expected it will take on definite form of organiza- tion about the first of the year. These shop unions, as they are cajed, are more numerous in St. Louis than In any other city in the country and if aggregated in one body would number at least 10,008. As now operated, each has its own auton- omy and its revenue is derived onl’ from its own members, thereby limiting its bene- fit pean, which places its benefits at a low scale. Consolidation is regarded as the only way open to reach wider influence and larger benefits.
