Louis happy on the last Christmas day of the nineteenth century, it is apparent that the work has been successfully launched. The time is short and much remains to be accomplished. This should be remem- bered by the many charitably inclined per- sons who have not yet sent in their con- tributions. The cold breath of winter has already been felt by the children of the poor. Little lips that shiver cannot frame @ hymn of thanks on the day of all days and grateful. This fact has impressed itself on hun- @reds of St. Louisans who have lost no time in forwarding their share of the gmoney which is to carry joy into so many homes on Christmas. A notable feature of the opening week was the large number of subscriptions e from children. These were not Sees eualaren of the well-to-do. ln many cases littie ones who had been hoarding up nnies for months to buy some luxur) Surine the hoiiday season have sent in ther email savings, gocompanted by notes that ‘charity in every line. — breathed the oat days of the fund's growth néarly all receipts were of this character.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 8.—The message of the President reports a gratifying condi- tion so far as foreign trade is concerned. I t also recognizes the importance of the in- teroceanic canal and offers assurance that this nation does not approve of the dismem- berment of China. The, fact that the total balance of trade in our favor during the last four years Is very much greater than the total increase in the volume of money indicates that this nation is largely indebted to Europe and suggests the wisdom of some provision which would enable the American people to know at all times the character and extent of their foreign indebtedness, The increase in the export of manufactures shows that American labor, though better paid than foreign labor, is so much more efficient that we can compete success- fully in the markets of the world even when handicapped by a tariff on raw materials. AMBIGUITY AS TO INTEROCEANIC CANAL. i The reference to the canal contains some of the uncertainty fnjected into the last Republican platform and leaves it doubtful whether the administration favors the Nicaragua or the Panama route. There is a widespread suspicion that transcon- tinental railroads are using one canal route to d@@eat the other, acting upon the principle of the business man who, as a maater Bprvcence subscribed to a pro- posed church, and, as a matter of economy, fougi® each suggested location. ’ It is to be hoped that this waterway between the two oceans may be speedily se- cured, although the new treaty will very materially lessen the value of the canal from a defensive standpoint. The President's extended and graphic recital of the leading incidents of the Chinese trouble, and the causes which led up to:it omits what is thought by many to be the leading cause of the anti-foreign feeling in China—viz., the threat of dismem- berment by the leading nations of Europe. The better informed citizens of the Chinese empire could not fail to know of the general diScussion relative to the territory to be taken by the several nations. ‘ Neither does the President allude to the fact that our own course in the Philippine Islands has aroused the fear that we may at any time feel our- selves called upon to assume control of so much of the empire as we have avarice to desire and the force to subdue. Even the protestations of the President will not entirely quiet the fears of those who know of the resolution adupted at the inception of the Spanish war and have noticed how the spirit of the resolution has been disregarded. GOLD PLANS WAIT— SUBSIDIES VS. TRUSTS. From the scant attention given to the money question, it would seem that the ad- ministration intends to defer, for the present, the carrying out of the further plans of the gold monometallists. The gold standard scheme includes two things: First, gold as the only standard money; and, second, bank paper as the only credit money. The first step was the suspension-of the coinage of silver, the second, the limitation of the legal tender qualities of the silver dollar and its retirement by the substitution of bonds, which w.ll furnish further facilities for national banks. It is interesting to compare the treatment of the ship subsidy bill with the treatment of the anti-trust law. The former is warmly approved and urged with all the ardor of an enthusiast, while the latter receives but little consideration and is dealt with in a perfunctory manner. The fact that trust.stocks, with Standard Oil in the lead, have been rising in value since tke election, and the further fact that several of the ‘trusts have already cora- menced to recoup themselves for campaign expenses, has made no impression upon the executive mind. An anti-trust bill slumbers in the Senate; it was passed by the House at the open- ing of the campaign with scarcely a dissenting voice. There is nothing in the message to disturb its quiet repose in the committee, It seems to be easier to use the people’s money to subsidize the, large ships which float upon the water than it is to protect the people from fhe extortion practiced by the large corpcraions which are largely composed of water. POWER TO INCREASE ARMY TO 100,000. The fears expressed by the Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans i been realized, so far as the army is concerned, for while the President has not specificially renewed his recommendation of a standing army of a hundred thousand, he has asked for about 60,000 regulars, with authority vested in the President to in- crease the force at will to one hundred thousand. This is equivalent to a regular army of a hundred thousand and enables the Republicans to meet opposition with the plea that a part of the army is temporary, just as they argued during the recent campaign that the increase was only temporary and that a reduction would be made as soon as the war in the Philippines was over. : The failure of the President to recommend a large reduction in the war taxes is a disappointment, and indicates a purpose to increase, rather than decrease, the ex- penses of the government. Eight lines in a newspaper suffice for his recommendations in regard to the alien- contract law, the eight-hour and an arbitrétion law. It is to be regretted that no ref- erence was made to government by injunction or to a legislation extending the Chines immigration act. ° NOT A SINGLE WORD OF SYMPATHY FOR BOERS. The fact that the message contains nothing to indicate that our people sympathize with the Boers or that our government disapproves of the annthilation of two indepen- dent republics was the more noticeable because of the cordial reception recently given President Kruger at Paris, France, surrounded by monarchies, can raise her voice in behalf of th struggling for liberty; but our nation, the greatest republic of history, a an ocean rolling on either side, remains silent. Could anything better illus- trate the paralyzing influences of imperialism? Considerable space is given to the Philippine question. In fact, it is quite evident that the President now considers that question of paramount importance. There js a strange inconsistency between the opening sentences of the message, of “Republican institutions,” “American liberty,” etc., and the body.

There is a Jekyll and Hyde ring noticeable when the congratulations upén the strength of the republic (because ‘‘never so strongly intrenched in the hearts of the people as now”’) is brought into fuxtaposition with the impe- rialistic plans for the governing of a subject race. | PECULIAR OMISSIONS BY THE PRESIDENT. He refers to the instructions given the Commission which he appointed and used to administer civil government, and says that the people of the Philippines should be “made to plainly understand that®there are certain great principles of government ~~ which have been made the basis of our governmental system, and whi h we deem essene t.al to the rule of lawand the ma_ntenanceot individual freedom,” and then he proceeds to set forth specifically the principles which- vat Utioped essential, | ns > ntlal. He calls them inviolable rules,” and declared that they must be‘igposed upon every Jivision and branch of the government of the Philippines, sgt — oe The “principles” are nearly all copied verbatim from the 10 amendments adopred immediately after the ratification of the constitution. The significant thing about this code is that it omits entirely the two of greatest importance to the preservation of liberty and the ddministration of :ité law. : J _ 7 } f ke * ‘ 7 . at ‘ . No mention is made of the doctrine of self-government. There is no trace anywhere of the “self-evident truth that governments derive their just pow- ers from the consent of the governed.”’ The whole plan rests upon the theory that a government can be imposed by an outside power, and the subject must obey all rules, orders or decrees emanating from the foreign sovereign or disobey at his peril. There is no différence in sub- stance between the President’s plan for the government of the American colonies or Queen Victoria's plan for the government of India and the Transvaal. We are to have a republic in name but an empire in fact; we are to clothe @ President wiih the prerogatives of a king. But this is not the most striking omission, for the Porto Rican bill gave the country some intimation of the intention of the Republican leaders to discard the principles of self-government. NO TRIAL BY JURY FOR THE FILIPINOS. One paragraph of the President's instructions to the commission reads as follows: ‘That in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses-in bis favor and have the assistance of counseifor his defense.” i 2 The sixth amendment reads as follows: ! fs “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a spéedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by lew, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have computsory process for obtaining witnesses jn his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."’ Upon a comparison of the two it will be found that the President has omitted the following words: “By an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law.” ig That these words were omitted intentionally is evident, because the rest of the amendment is copied literally. It is clearly the intention of the administration to. deny to the Filipinos the right of trial by jury. The jury system is not only an important but an indispensable part of the administration of justice, although there is a belief prevalent among the corporations that we have outgrown it. The clause of the sixth amendment omitted from the President's ins also provides that the accused shall be tried in his own district, a safeguard s considered essential. M’KINLEY’S OPTIMISM IS NOT WARRANTED. The President looks forward to a time in the near future when thea gladly and gratefully acept such government as we think best for th o. His@ is not warranted by anything which has occurred in the past. Hir ory furnts no example of a people who willingly remained subjects and we r ytd renounce the theories which have until within three years been universally acce pted In this country, before w in practice, In so far as the mesage touc paign, it confirms the warnings uttered by those remains to be seen whether Republican policies wher. satisfactory to those who gave their support to the P | ‘J.

Tne tenor voice of Mr. Leo Liebermann was also listened to with pleasure. The chorus selections by the club were very good, but showed a weakness on the tenor parts. Wednesday evening Mrs. Huntington Smith gave a musicale af her home on Lo- cust street, in honor of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The program opened with a _voyeg solo by Mr. A. J.

When Jacob Bierbrauer, who was once | a resident of St. Louis County, walked in- | to the home of his brother, August Bler- brauer, at Ellisville, Friday night, it was | thought he had returned from the aed. For years his mother and brothers have be- | lieved him dead. They had not heard a | word from him since he left them sud- | denly twelve years ago, and they had given | up all hope of his being alive. ' It was with difficulty, Friday night, that he convinced them that he was really Ja- | cob Bierbrauer, their son and brother. Now that they are finally convinced, there is much rejoicing among the — brauers and one continuous string of fot- | mer acquaintances of the wanderer fills the house. | Jacob Bierbrauer seems to have come of a family of wanderers, who like to go away | for years until everyone believes they are | ded and then suddenly return. Jacob's brother, Charles, only a few years ago | came back home, after an absence of 2» years, during which he had not once been heard from. All the while he had been in the West as a mining prospector. Jacob Bierbrauer has done the’ same thing. He left home for the West 12 years | ago. All his family Knew about him was) that he was going West and they didn't. know any more until he got back Friday. It was night when he arrived at the old | home. The scene, he thought, had changed very little, and through the window he. could see his mother and his brother's fam- ily seated about a table. He did not knock, but opened the door and staiked in. He greeted them, but they seemed to re- sent his boldness. Then he began to laugh at them. “You don't know me, I guess,”’ he said. “Can't you guess who I am?’ Although amazed at him, the family all) guessed, but no one guessed right, until suddenly the mother, Mrs. Johanna Bier- brauer, jumped to her feet and exclaimed: “Why, it’s Jacob. Where in the world did you come from?” ‘ The returned son took her in his arms. The brother, August, and his family| Manila Transport Arrives.

Caban- ni and Parker, Dr. Robert Calthuran, Mrs. Calthuran and six children. The latter were Pekin refugees and boarded the vessel at Nagasaki.

Facts of Employment of a Dental Sur- geon and Her Position With Re- gard to Methodg of Surgery. BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 8—Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the great apostle of Chris- tian science has given out the following statement relative to the doctrine: “The church congress of the Episcopal church. recently convened at Providence, RK. I., smiled mildly on some features of Chris- tion Science, but its arrangement of the program for the discussion of the subject was unfortunate, im the interests of stric' justice and fair play. The discussion was opened first with an address by Prot. Theodore T. Seward of New York, author of “The Brotherhood of Christian Unity,” and a member of the Episcopal church, which was able, compact, courteous and altogether logical and ample. It was a con- scientious tribute from one whose heart is manifestly full of the love of Christ and love for his fellowmen; who has studied Christian Science from ‘its spiritual stand- point, with a firm belief in Christ Jesus, his example and his teachings; and who has subject. It is reported that he was lis- tened to with rapt attention, from its be- ginning to its close, by an audience of 100 unlimited opportunity for unbridled criti- ¢ism from those who followed him, without possible reply; and a lawyer, who referred to Christian Science in objectionable phrase, made the argument agaihst it, and made his exit from the congress substantially un- corrected and unrebuked. “As Christian Science is founded strictly on the life and teachings of Christ Jesus, it may be pertinent to ask why a doctor or a lawyer, who evidently has no aggressive faith in Jesus and his life labors for hu- manity, and who se’dom reads a chapter from the Gospels and rarely enters a Chris- tian house of worship, should be asked to address such a congress on such a subject? Is it not obvious that the religious side of the question—its important and vital side— would be studiously ignored? Note the ad- dresses of Dr. William M. Polk and Mr. W. A. Perrington, as reported in the Provi- dence Journal, for a definite answer. Law- yer Leavitt’s reply to unjust criticisms against the Christian Science textbook was a spiritual sunburst on the darkness. Mr. Purrington’s address, the following is quoted from it verbatim: It is only just to say that Mrs. Bddy's practice & in-accord with this’ part of her teaching.

H., in great pain, to use a local anesthetic before -extracting the fice and had a troublesome tooth extracted. But it was not a carions tooth, neither was she in pain at the time. She did request me to extract the tooth, allowing me to use my own paingéss metuod for extracting teeth, which I had reeo@#me: +d. “I. shall take no further notice: of inquiries on this subject. “JOHN M. FLETCHER, *““Concord, N. H., Nov. 22, 1990." Bribe Offered to Dr. Fletcher. “I have acopy ofa _ letter which Dr. Fletcher received, in which the writer proposed a bribe of 200 if the doctor would authorize a story about Mrs. Eddy concerning this remarkable episode (!) such as the correspondent might dictate. But Dr. Fletcher said practically, ‘Get thee be- hind me, satan.’ The doctor is a man of repute—a native of my native state—a man that cannot*bée bought or sold. “Those familiar with my writings know that long ago I instructed Christian Scien- tists not to interfere with methods of sur- gery, but if they should eall a surgeon, to submit to his methods without discus- sion.

Therefore; Lesoains pega weighs against a painless operation, w as) it should be put into the same scale as mine, thus producing a painless opera- tion as a logical result. “Matter is but the objective state of the substance -dreams that it by night. It is all the w ream of mind in matter, which. is mortal and God condemned; it is not the spiritual fact of being. When this scientific classification. is understood, wo shall obey one Mind, one God, and we shall obey the commandment ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself.’ ° Christ Is Still Teaching. “If 1900 years ago Christ /taught his fol- lowers to heal the sick, he is today teach- ing them the same heavenly lessan. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. ‘God is Love’—the ever operative divine Principle (or Person if you please)—whose person is not corporeal—not finite. This in- finite Person we know not of by the hear- ing of the ear, yet we may sometimes say with Job, ‘but now mine eye (spiritual sense) seeth Thee.’ “God is one because God is all. There- fore, there can be but one God, one Christ. We are individually but specks in his uni- verse, the reflex images of this divine Life. Truth and Love, in whom ‘we live, and move, and have our being.’ Divine Meta- physics is not to be scoffed at; it is Truth with us—‘God manifest in the flesh’—not alone by miracle and parable, but by proof —even the divine nature of God, which be- longs not to a dispensation now ended, but is ever present casting out evils, healing the sick, and raising the dead—resurrecting individuals buried above ground in mate- rial sense. “Today this Bethlehem star looks down upon the long night of materialism—ma- terial religion, material medicine, a ma-e- rial world—and it shines as of yore, though it ‘shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.’ But the day will dawn and the day-star appear, lighting the gloom, guiding the steps of progress from molecule to mortals outward and upward in the scale of being. “Hidden electrical forces annihilating time and space, wireless telegraphy, navigation of the air, in fact, all the et ceteras of ‘mortal mind pressing to the front, remind me of my early dreams of flying in airy | Space, buoyant with liberty and the lux- ury of thought let loose, to rise higher and forever higher in the boundless blue. And what of reality, if waking to bodily sensa- tion is real and it makes us captives! The night thought, methinks, should unfold in part the facts of day, and open the prison doors and solve the blind problem of mat- ter. It shows us rationally that even mor- tals can mount higher in the altitude of being, till they cease to be mortal, and Christ hath led captivity captive and im- morality is brought to light. “Robert Ingersoll’s attempt to convict the scriptures of inconsistency made his life the abject failure.

Our Master Metaphysician, the Gal- lilean cree. had much such a class of minds to deal with:as we have in our time. They disputed his teachings on practically the same grounds as are now assumed by many doctors and lawyers. But he swept away their illogical syllogisms as chaff Is separated from the wheat.

Is not the tree known by its fruit? Did Jesus guide his followers? Were the apostles ab- surd and unscientific in adhering to his premise’ and proving his conclusion logical and divine? “The scientific statement of being’ may irritate a certain class of professiénais who fail to understand it, while they pro- nounce it absurd, ambiguous, unscientific. But that Christian Science is valid, simple, real and self-evident. thousands upon thousands attest from their individual dem- onstrations, they themselves having been healed and having healed others on the principle of Christian Science. Science has always been met in this manner. A fiction or a false philosophy flourishes for a time where science gains no hearing. The follow- ers of the Master in the early Christian centurtes did just what he enjoined, and day to those who abide therein and build denominations interpret the Scriptures to fit a doctrine, but the doctrines taught by divine science are founded squarely and only upon the Scriptures. ‘* ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures’ is not inconsistent in a single! instance with its logical premise and con- | clusion, and ninety-nine out.of every hun- dred of its readers—honest, intelligent. and scholarly—will tell you this.

Hartman: Dear Sir—“My three children were sick and my husband had an attack of ia grippe. I gave the children Peruna, and now they look as if they hadn’t been sick at all. I also gave it to my husband until he was good and well. I do not know how I could have stood taking care of them and being up night and day, had it not been for Peruna. ‘Last winter was the first winter in sixteen years that I did not have a cough. It is impossible to explain my thanks in words. I never looked as well as I do now. ‘‘Peruna is our family medicine and always will be. I do my own house- work and sewing, and get along lovely, now that I am so strong and well, thanks to Peruna and your good ad- vice. “T cannot help but praise Peruna. I am never without it, and as soon as I find the children have the least cold I give them Peruna. A few doses helps them, and I hope that every one who reads my testimony will try Peruna as it is a friend indeed.” Thankfully yours, MRS. PAUL PESCHEL, 14 Quitman St., Newark, N. J.

St. Paul Was a Christian Scientist. “St. Paul was a follower, but not an im- mediate disciple of our Lord, and he de- clares the truth of the complete system of Christian Science in these brief sentences: ‘There is there fore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the fle.h, but after the spir- | it. for the law. of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of | sin and death.’ Was it profane for St. Paul | to aspire to this knowledge of Christ and the demonstration thereof—healing sin and sickness—because he was not a disciple of the personal Jesus? Nay, verily. Neither ts it persumptuous of unscriptural or vain for another, a suckling in the arms of divine love, to perfect His praise. “A child will demonstrate Christian Science and have a ciear perception of it. Then, is it a cold, dull abstratction? or 1s demonstrated on a fixed principle and giv- en rule, and in proportion as these are un- derstood men are found casting out the evils of mortal thought, healing the sick, and uplifting human consciousness to a more spiritual life and love? The signs ol the times emphasize the answer to this in the rapid and steady advancement of this science among the scholarly and titled, the deep thinkers, the truly great men and women of this age. In the words of the Master. ‘Can ye not discern the signs of the times?’ “Christian Science teaches: Owe no man, be temperate; abstain from alcohol and to- bacco; be honest, just and pure; cast out evil.and heal the sick; in fine, do unto others as ye would have others do to you Has one Christian Scientist yet reached | the maximum of these teachings?

(at (kk ak Ce CHICAGO, Dec. 8.—As the outcome of the anternational Livestock Exposition, which has been in progress at the stockyards for a week, there will be established in this civy two permanent annual stock exposi- tig 1s. The first will be held in the fall, imme- diately after the closing of the state and county fairs, and the other will follow in the first week in December of each year. The early fall meeting will be arranged for the breeding classes or fancy stock, while it is planned to make the second distinctively a fat stock show, to be modeled after the great annual show at Smithsfield, England, but on a larger scale. General Manager Skinner of the present exposition announced the foregoing as the gSeneral plan mapped out by the promoters of the exhibit. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the National Live- Stock Association in Salt Lake City and in January Mr. Skinner will meet the presi- dent of that association and a committee of thrée from each of the national breed- ing associations for the purpose of perfect- ing arrarngements for the annual shows. This meeting will be held in this city. One of the most important features of the show has been the slaughter exhibit, which may lead to important result# in judging. The judges of live animals are usually ac- curate, but wccasionally mistakes are made. If the same sheep, for instance, are entered in the carcass competition, the sheep will be judged exactly for what they are, and no mistake can be made. Through this method, owners of cattle, sheep, or swine have sometimés demonstrated that, although the judges decided against them in the live mnimais, when ihe carcasses were ex- amined, it was hown that the judges were at fault. The slaughter occurred Thursday and the carcasses were put in cold storage. Some time today these carcasses will be brought out, when competent judges will pass upon its quality and decide whether the sgoensns + of the live stock judges were as they ought to be. Vanderbilt’s 4 Fat Hogs. ; George Vanderbilt's hogs from Biltmore, N. C., as blue-blooded in their set as their multi-millionaire owner is in his, occupy the center of the ated at the livestock ex- position. Their most numerous and demun- strative admirers were women. Attracted by the-sign “Biltmore Farms” the women found unusual interest in looking at 800- ound Berkshires with in-growing faces, cause they belenged to Farmer Vander- iit. pur, Vanderbilt hinge { ig not attend- at : : Washingt 6.50 $10.00 R D ng e ilvestock show, but he has sent a s4, 3 12.09 D diac : Rainy-Da . ainy-Da a 3 at or more of hogs: of his own breeding, g#5.00 Dress ekirts ©] 08 ‘3 ae ey Store Oe hg hl eh Ra ne z . ere Skirts - ; $2.98 Skirts at z $4.98 the butchering of any one. ef which would at ni : in America ate : | St. Louis,Mo. $15.00 Rainy-D ‘i : . ie Set thas ; ainy- "$7 50 + insure the Vanderbilt family against hun- 15,00 Dress ger during the long winter in the North $6.50 Dress $2.9 $ Skirts at , Skirts at I eres ce revi [2 A 65 SAAS a6 AA, AAA AA a a aa aT —— Minetinan $6.48; {East $1.98) | “teiee$6.98; | et"..§2,98} {"tteen $4.08) (eee BINGE OO OP LO ODDO DODD ODP REL Singer Bros: AFUtomobile Coats singer Bros’ Short Jackets. singer Bros...

WALDAUER ILL MUSICIAN AND PLAYWRIGHT IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. FAMOUS ORCHESTRA LEADER He Established Beethoven Conserva- tory in 1871 and Has Been Asso- ciated With Celebrated People. Prof. August Waldauer, well known throughout the country as a musician, teacher and playwright, is lying at St. John’s Hospital in a critical condition, as the result of the breaking of an abscess on phis back. ~— ) He has for some time been troubled with diabetes, but until recently it has never as- sumed a serious phase. Last Saturday he was taken to the hospital, owing to the formation of an abscess, which, while it was painful, was not thought to be serious. Recent developments in the case, however, have made his physician, Dr. Tuholske, ap- eee +e MUSCLE AND NOT FAT What Thin People Need to Round Off the Corners. What thin folks need is flesh or muscle, | not fat. To be symmetrical and properly pro- portioned every: person shouid have a certain amount of excess flesh, but to be plump does not necessarily mean to be fat. Fat is undesirable; it clogs and retards the action of the mus¢les, interferes with the healthy action of the heart and lungs and when very excessive, predisposes to prehensive of the outcome, owing to the advanced age of the patient. The nurse in attendance upon the professor said yester- day afternoon, thit. his condition had tak- en a turn for the better. Prof. Waldauer, is 75 vears old having been born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1825. He came to this country when he was but lj years old to make his way by means of his violin and his musical genius. After a sojourn of some years in the eastern cities, he came to St. Louis, where he continued to live, with the exception of one or two short intervals, when he was touring with traveling orchestras. On one occas.on he accepted an engagement at the St. Charles Opera, House in New Orleans, but soon gave it up and returned to St. Louts. At various times previous to 1871, he hela positions locally as performer in or leader of orchestras. Many old citizens will recal! having seen him in Ben de Bar’s Opera House, where he for some time was firsi violin and director of the orchestra. In 1871 he, with Mr. Hermann Levitzky, founded the Beethoven Conservatory of usic. In 1874 Mr. Levitzky severed his connection with the new enterprise, Mr. M. I. Eystein taking his place. Up to the pres- ent time the two have remained together, and the widespread reputation of the insti- tution they have fostered testifies to the success of their work. Prof. Waldauer was at one time first violin in an orchestra conducted by the cele- brated leader, Sir Jules Benedict, which played for Jenny Lind. Another of his in- teresting associations was with Maggie Mitchell, for whom he wrote the play ‘‘Fan- chon,’’ in which that starred for several seasons. He was a fa- vorite with Miss Mitchel) and was the re- ciplent of handsome gifts from her, one of them being a diamond-studded baton. Besides being the author of ‘‘Fanchon,”’ Prof. Waldauer is the composer of several! songs and pieces for the violin. He was well qualified as a composer, having been at one time the pupil of the renowned musician, Molique. The later years of his life have been quiet- ly spent, Mr. Epstein taking upon himself the greater part of the work in connection ‘' with the conservatory. He spends most ot his time quietly at his home, 903 La Salle street, where he has resided continuously for the last 35 years. Y. M. C. A.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—After two hours’ deliberation today the Presbyterian com- mittee concluded its discussion of the re- Vision of the Westminster confession of faith and adjourned. The committee find on examination of the returns from the presbyteries the following facts: 1. That the returns plainly indicate that submission to the assembly and to the churches. This is a work of immense im- ortance and cannot be done well unless it can be done slowly. The committee needs time and proposes to take it. All their meetings thus far have been characterized by a spirit of harmony and fraternal confi- dence. There is no possible danger that i can see of a split in the Presbyterian Church. Even if the work of revision should | be delayed for months or years it is sure to come because the church demands it.”’ WIFE ARRESTED AT FUNERAL.

You Can Be Cured of NERVOUS DEBILITY and LOST MANHOOD CALTHOS” would rid them of the terrible result of early follies r me * fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say nothing of the discomfort resulting from too much adipose tissue. Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become fleshy and plump the thing most needed would be flesh forming food, that is, albuminous fodds like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc. The kinds of food which make flesh are the foods we have on our tables every day; but the trouble is that our stomachs, from weakness or derangement of some kind, do not promptly and properly di- gest it. Really, the principal reason so many people remain thin is because their stom- achs do not properly and completely di- gest and assimilate the flesh forming beef- Steak and eggs we eat every day. There are thousands of such people, and they are really dyspeptics although they may not suffer any particular pain or inconvenience from their stomachs. If such persons and all thin people would take after their meals some simple and natural digestive, like Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets, the food would be quickly digested and the proper degree of plump- ness very soon result because these tab- lets are prepared exactly for that pur- anes They digest every variety of flesh- otming food, which is the real reason why they so quickly build up and strengthen thin, dyspeptic men and wo- men. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets cure every | of indigestion on this common sense plan, that they thoroughly digest ‘the food promptly, giving strength to . nerve and organ in the body, and the weakened stomach a chance to rest _and recover its natural vigor.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 8.—The)St. Pe- tersbttg Young Men's Christian Associa- tion is having phenomenal success. The rooms were opened less than two months ago. There are now over 500 members or applicants for membership. Classes in book- keeping, English, French, German, corre- spondence and shorthand are well attended, Over 100 men are ardent students of book- keeping. Evenings one can usually find 2.0 members at the classes in the rooms play- ing games or drinking tea. Alcoholic liquor and tobacco are barred from the rooms, though no pledges to abstain from their use are exacted from members. The secretary, Mr. Franklin Gaylord, has succeeded in transplanting the American institution with only such moé@ifications as the customs of the country require. The name ‘Society for Promoting the Physical and Moral Development of Young Men,’ was adopted in deference to the wishes of the government and in order to prevent or- thodox Russians from suspecting it to be a proselyting association. His royal highness, the Prince of Olden- bourg, the Rev. Alexander Francis, pastor of the Anglo-American Church, and severa] priests of the orthodox church, whose inter- ests in the enterprise were enlisted by Mr. James Stokes of New York, continued to give Mr. Gaylord zealous support. The Em- press has also shown her interest in va- rious ways. Lamkin Files Contest. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 8.—Doctor W. M.

The returns also indicate that a large plurality desires that changes should be made by some new statement of present doctrines. 4. The returns also indicate a desire upon the part of many presbyteries for some re- vision of the present confession. 5. It was therefore unanimously agreed by the committee to recommend to the gen- eral assembly that some revision or change be made in our confessional statements. Substantial but not final agreement was reached as to the method of preparing changes embodying both revision and sup- plemental statement, but the determining of the whole matter was deferred to a sub- sequent meeting. The committee will meet in this city on Feb. 12 next to finally prepare its state- ment to the general assembly in May. REVISION MUST COME. PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 8.—The Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, member of the com- mittee on revision of the Presbyterian creed, made a statement today in which he said that the revision must surely come. Dr. Van Dyke said: “The fdea that there was any misunder- standing at the meeting of the committee at Washington is an absolute mistake. The committee was appointed first of ali to get light from the church at large on the sub- ject of the amendment of the Presbyterian doctrine of standard and to suggest the best mode by which such amendment could be accomplished. The committee unani- mously found it evident beyond the shadow of a doubt that an overwhelming majority | of the church was in favor of some such amendment. They were united also in their judgment that the church did not desire to supplant or set aside the Washington con- ference, but only to modify in some way ‘some of its statements and possibly to do this by the addition of a briefer statement containing those doctrines which are es- sential and vital to our system of faith.

Mr. Coler bought the autograph abroad for $125. Comptroller Coler later had the letter translated by one of his assistants. As it was in old French and many of the words were in peculiar script, it took some time, but after several hours’ hard study the let- ter was found to be as follows: ‘From Paris, this 19th of September, 1659, “Sir—The grace of our Lord be with you forever. I have received your letter of the 2th of August, and have much joy at the good account which you give of the mis- sions of Loretto.

I cannot enough thank him for the fact that you have taken posses- sion of the house of Monsigneur the Cardi- nal Bagny. “There is reason to hope that God will bless those who shall inhabit it, through the merit of the kind seigneur who has ceded it to you, and for the sake of him who has procured it for you. I mean Mon- seigneur, the cardinal of Gency, who is ad- mirable in his goodness as well as for the confidence which he has in the Lord. There is, therefore, nothing left for us but to admire him in all his virtues, and find our- selves confused in the thought of our hav- ing gone away from him and his benefits in consequence of our unworthy folly. May it please our Lord to crown his apostlic life with immortal glory and to be himself our virtue, in order that we may respond to the expectations of this holy cardinal. ‘We expect tke last decision of Monsig- neur, the cardinal Anthoine, regarding cine execution of the foundation which he ap- proved for Loretto, since he did not wish to see him at his last visit. “T send you a letter and memorandum which have been sent me by M.

NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY. This prevalent, condition, which makes young men old and old men_ helpless, is is practi- cally the result of the present rapid pace of civilization and is so common that not more than one man in ten enjoys the full strength and vigor of manhood. So sur- cessful has Dr. King been in the treatment pf this disease that he confidently promises to cure the most obstinate case. Youn men should heed the first symptoms, such i night losses, dizziness, pimples, spots fore the eyes, etc., as they can thus save vears of suffering and mental worry. Dr. King properly corrects these conditions and effectually checks their progress. Old and middle-awed men who feel their vigor and aT giving way to premature decay and decline will be restored to their natural vigor by Dr. King. Hundreds of cases have been cured where hope had been given up to despondency and helplessness.

Yet to the world at large he was unknown. All that was changed when the American public woke up one June morning two years ago and.discovered that it possessed.a new hero. Lieut. Hobson was the man. Ada- miral Cervera had taken his Spanish fleet into the bottle formed by Santiago harbor. Lieut. Hobson amid a storm of shot and shell, inserted the cork, and the fame of his daring exploit reached every land. Even in the eyes of his captors, the enemy, he was a hero, and at home he was lionized. At that time Admiral Sampson, in an offi- cial report, took it for granted that the young officer would be suitably rewarded. From his native state a legislative demand | was made that hé should be given command of the Alabama when she went into com-| mission. The only reward that Lieut. Hob- son has enjoyed is the knowledge of the: gratitude of his countrymen. His rank has not been increased, his work has been harda- | er, and there are those who think that the young man has been made to feel that in some manner he has incurred the displeas- ure of his superiors. Throughout the .northern states of the lnion there was a strange rejoicing that Hobson was a son of the Southland. The op- portunity to show that sectional bitterness did not: remain to belittle his achievement was seized. He was made the victim of hero worship in the most violent form. By nature a youth of modest and shy spirit, he was compelled literally to kiss his way through a throng of women—young and old, pretty and ugly—from New York to San Francisco. That he did not refuse the ordeal has been charged against him as his only sin. Richmond Pearson Hobson was born Aug. 7. 1870, in Greensboro, Ala. His father, J. A. Hobson, was for 25 years probate judge of his county. His maternal grandfather was Chief Justice Pearson of North Caro- lina. Young Hobson’s most charasteristic trait as a youth was his idolatry of his mother. After a course in a small college in Ala- bama, Hobson was sent as a cadet to An- napolis in 1589. He was graduated in 1889 at the head of his class, of which he was the youngest member. At the Naval Academy he was not popular. This was because of his strict adherence to the line of duty which he believed his Christian mother | would have him follow. He violated many of the traditions of the academy, and was | disliked for 80 doing. But in the end he came out with the respect of all who knew Leaving Annapolis, he became assistant ied naval architecture in the ship yards of England and France. How He Bottled Up Cervera. When war was declared against Spain Lieut. Hobson was on the New York, where he came under the approving observation of Admiral Sampscn. Cervera had crawled into Santiago harbor, where the American fleet held him, but a Caribbean hurricane was due, and when it came it wouid drive the blockaders away, Cervera might es- cape to prevent offensive American action by mere threats. Lieut. Hobson went to Admiral Sampson with a plan to sink. a collier in the harbor channel at its narrowest point, where it was about foyr hundred feet wide. If ihis could be ne a problem would be solved Admiral mpson gave his approval, and the Merrimac, carrying two thousand tons of coal, Was prepared fur the _ sacrifice. She was stripped of everything that couid be taken off. Anchors were so hung at bow and stern that they could be released without loss of time. Arrangements were made so that the water vaives cauld be thrown upen, and torpedoes were strung along the ship's side so that they could be exploded by an electric current. Lieut. nay replacea the Merrimétc’s crew of sixty men with six of his own choosing. A seventh went along against The names of these men are Van- tague, George Charette, J. C.

Because the channel was swept by hostile batteries the dash of the Merrimac was timed for the earliest dawn. She was taken into the harbor, and at the right point the bow anchor was dropped. Under her own momentum the ship swung on the cable and turned across the channel, Unfortunately the tide operated enough (to drive her slightly out of position, and all that had been hoped for was not accom- plished. The stern anchor fell and the water valves were opened. Then the eight heroes took to a raft that had been prepared. in advance and pushed her off. When they Had gone a safe Wlathnee the torpedoes exploded and the Merrimac sank, All of this was done under the concen- trated fire of several batteries of heavy guns.

Since his release Lieut. Hobson has done much work of merit as a ng@val constructor. He has been criticised for talking too freely at times, but the reply has been made that he has been forced into interviews. STREET RAILWAY TEST CASE.

If the bank officers entertained a clew as to the perpetrator of the robbery, none was divulged at the time, and so far as the people of Adair County could surmise the depredation was cloaked with absolute mystery. Like a thunderous peal from a clear sky came the sworn statement of C. E. Daro, foimerly confidential bookkeeper of the bank, at the trial this week, to the effeg@ that the banks losses had been laid at his door and because of tis sus- picion he was forceu to give up his posi- tion. «¢ Deposition of C. E. Daro. This testimony was submitted to the court in the form of a deposition, including Daro's declaration, as follows: “IT was at the bank about 11:30 o'clock on the night the robbery occurred. I went there to wvite a letter and hurried away. The board of directors soon after heid a meeting and wrote me a letter, accusing me of the robbery and forthwith dis- pensed with my services.” “L,. Daro was then asked this question: “Did you, as charged, rob the hirksville Bank?’’ Answer: “I did not.’’ . Daro was considered among the most rogressive of the rising generation of irksville and had hundreds of friends. He ‘was a social favorite and his acumen as an accountant promised an exceptionally bright future. He left the service of the bank ostensibly to engage in business elsewhere. According to recent advices he is now a resident of | St. Louis. The burglary was effected on the night of Nov. 10, 1898, or early in the following morning and was discovered some time be-.| fore the bank was opened for the day's business of Nov. 11. The two vaailt doors were wide open, and the inner door of the safe. which rested on its side at an angle of about 45 degrees, was ajar. The deposit box, containing $20,000 in currency and bonds to the amount of $15,- 000, the personal property of Samuel Reed, president of the bank, had been emptied. Silver Money Was Undisturbed. Scattered over the floor on the inside of the vault was a large quantity of silver coin, which, ‘apparently, the robbers con- sidered too burdensome to carry away. On a shelf of the vault was silver to the to or drilling holes into the vault doors, DY of wood against the safe doors and ham- mering it with a heavy sledge they could be forced open by the concussion. The Theories of Safe Experts. The experts emphasized this theory at the trial when two of them declared that in this manner they could open any safe, no matter how burglar proof it might be considered. Their plan would be to turn the safe slightly on its side, they testified, and in so doing the ‘“‘dog’ or the catch part of the lock would be forced back and then with /no unusual force the door could be opened. It was on this plea pfincipally that the plaintiffs built their case. The opposition | answered with. a poweful array of argu- | ments. Immediately following the robbery the bank telegraphed their various correspond- ents and W. lL. Mosler, president of the Mosler Safe Co., together with the St. Louis representative of that concern, were notified and hastened to Kirksville. Meanwhile the board of directors held a meeting and official annuoncement was made that the losses had nowise affected the bank. The officials accepted their mis- | fortur™ philosophically and the bank con- | tinued business, | Judge Adams impaneled the jury to try the case, but, as noted later in his decision, he decided the bank, under the circum- stances, was not entitled to recover and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. Judge Adams’ Opinion of the Testimony. The ‘‘circumstances,’’ referred to by. Judge Adams, are interesting. Private detectives were employed to un- earth the culprits. As an incentive to their endeavors the bank offered a reward of $19,000. Mr. Mosler, in compay with the detec- tives, all arriving on the scene simultane- ously Nov. 11, pursued a careful inquiry, but no light could they throw on the bur- glary theory. Suspicious characters had not been seen around Kirksville. No other 'bank in the county, nor within a n'ghit’s |ride of the place, had been the victim of | safe openers. |. The investigators then sought light on the | burglars’ mode of ingress. They ascer- |tained that the doors and windows of the | bank had been closed. Concealing the lock on one of the large windows. which would |appear to offer the safest entry, were cob- | Webs. The next day the detectives made '@ second examination of this lock and | found it broken. | Queer Facts About the Safe. The outer vault door was then the object of rigid scrutiny.

The idea was entertained that wires had been run into these holes and thereby worked open the iocks. The experts summoned on behalf of the plaintiffs were wiliing to concede the strong tenability of these cheories, but they diu not in the least doubt that by means of a battering ram held in position by ropes suspended from a fulcrum the safe could be turned on its side, the time lock stoppeu and entrance gained without a particle of damage to the safe. Every safe company of importance throughout the country watched. the out- come of the case with deep interest. The question as to the worth of expert testimony with reference to safe deposits was not of little moment. Was It Technically a Real Burglary? After reviewing the main facts of the case and the contention set up by the defend- ants, Judge Adams said: “The only issue left is the issue with re- spect to the character of the abstraction of the money in question; the issue being now as to whether there was a felonious ab- siraction by burgiars from the safe after entry had been made into the safe by the use of tools or explosives, operative upon the safe, that is, ‘thereupon.’ Now, this issue may be reduced considerably. Without A@ily GUuvlt the evidence venus .Oo show tnat there was a felonicus abstraction of money and there is evidence tending to show that within the vault. “‘Now, the oniy question that is left which troubles me is this: Was that abstraction SO made by burgiars from the safe after entry had been made into the safe by the usé of tools or explosives operative upon it? “So you see you have gotten down to a preity narrow point in this case. Claims that he has introduced evidence te id- ing to show that this was so; the deiendant has been asked in this case, contends chat there was no such evidence or not suflicieat ev.dence of the kind. “The evidence shows without contradic- tion that there was not any mark upon he safe, produced by anything that was app.r- ert upon the morning of the Iilth after the discovery of the abstraction of the money. The evidence al... shows that no tools or explosives were tound in the vault. Piain- tiff seeks to supplement this proof by the introduction of the testimony of experts tv the effect that such a safe as this could have been opened by concussion produc d by a heavy sledge upon a timber placed evidence also that i. ‘could have been produced by vibration and hair is now more luxuriant than it ever was and am | jamming.”’ Judge Discusses Burglars’ Tools. The court then went into an elaborate dis- cussion of the meaning of burgiars’ tools, and while doubting that a sledge or other |contrivance said to have been used prop- erly comes under the scope of such tools, admits they are such for the purposes of the inquiry. It belleves further that ihe jury has a right to draw rational and rea- sonable inferences, but the court rules there is no evidence indicating that such tools were used, and this plea is therefore untenable. He cites as an example that if one found a tree down on his premises, and there wa; no proof whatsoever as to the appearance of a mark made by an ax about the tree, it would not be reasonable to assume that the destruction had been wrought with an ax. Next, Judge Adams held there was not the slightest bit of ocular evidence that any ram was employed and no*such ham- mering, which the experts say would oc- hank m 16 to 4 minutes, could be prac- ti bv a person inflicting the blows that were necessary even though they used a Ps by asking the peremptory instruction wi cn | ' | the same was. by burglars from the safe | | ; Plainwult | ' case, yOu may come up and sign a verdict board upon it without causing an abrasion of the paint upon the safe door. Hole Bored From the Inside. He then refers to the drills used in bor- ing holes through the vaults and contends that one was bored from the inside of the vault, and adds: “I am not dealing with the weight of presumption, but I am only llustrating how unsafe it is to indulge in speculation. That hole was bored not by a burglar to get into the safe; that hole was bored unquestionably by somebody to cover up his tracks. Following an exposition of the various arguments by the experts to support their theory, Judge Adams says: “Evidently the ones that did this work knew something about safes. They knew very well that the mechanism of the lock on the safe was of that character that, if they would turn the safe over on its left side, the locking dog. by reason of the weight and gravity of the implement, would tend to drop out of its locking catch and that, aided by concussion which would be produced, possibly might cause the door to open. I am not saying by the turning over itself the gravity of the lock drop- ping down would itself unlock the device. Now, they knew that. They pretended to come in at the window when they hadn't got through the window; they pretended to open the door by boring a hole through it when they hadn't done it, and I am in- clined to think that the first hole which they bored closé to the dial on the face of the vault was bored as a ruse; for, as I understand the testimony about this, I am inclined to think that that hole was never opened for the purpose of opening that door. Why? I believe that the tumblers of, that lock which were at the back of that door, were not disturbed by the boring; if so, the lock of the door was not opened by boring. The result is that that door was opened some other way. There were a great many cautious and very careful de- vices and schemes to avoid detection: to make it appear to be the work of burglars from the outside. Judge Decides Against the Bank. After declaring the falsity of these the- ories, and dwelling on the belief that there is no physical evidence of-any tool having been used, Judge Adams concluded as fol- lows: “This state of facts presents to the court and the jury that state of uncertainty, that State of simple conjecture, which under no» circumstnaces should be the bass of taking property from one and bestowing it upon another. “Your property you would not like to have taken upon any such Zuess work as that, and I shall not permit you to take anybody else's property under that kind of guess work. It seems so to me, gentlemen, and, under the views which I have of ths for the defendant.”’ Counsel for plaintiff moved for a new trial, and this motion wiil be argued at the May term of the Federal Court.

Names Stiggested for the New State Are Indianola and Jefferson— There Are Homes for 6 Many Settlers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. Hy SOUTH M’ALESTER, I. T., Dec. 8 bon: | direct | step towards statehood for Oklahoma and | Indian Territory will be taken in this cicv. | day next the first important and On that day the. first statehood conven- tion begins its session here. “ There will be 600 delegates in attendance, 300 from” eacn | territory. The plan is to combine the two territories into one state. The names so far suggested for the new state are Indianola and Jeffer- £0n. Before leaving here for Washington to exert his influence in the direction of state- hood, Gov. Barnes said: “With the Indian Territory and Oklaho- ma combined in one state, we would have resources equal to any of the great states surrounding us. With the vast coal fields, mountains of zinc and lead, great forests of pine, walnut and other valuable @mobcr the oil and gas of the Indian Terri- tory added to the magnificent agricultural | and grazing country of Oklahoma, a state could be created capable of the support and maintenance of a state organization without becoming a burden upon the people. We recognize the fact that the lands of the Iin- dian Territory will not be subject to tax- ation for years to come. in that respect, for a time, the expense would be more severe upon Oklahoma than the Indian Territory. Still, the jatiter territory has large prop- erties, valuable town-site properties and — railroad properties, which would per- aps yield a revenue equal to the iands ol Oklahoma. “What would be the politics of the new state?’’ Gov. Barnes was asked. “That is a pradematical matter. How- ever, 1 Believe that if single statehood is conferred before the expiration of Presi- dent McKinley’s second term the state = r It will | be reliably Republican in politics. add two United States Senators, and, under the proposed new apportionment, four mem- bers of the House of Representatives.’’ “How about the Kiowa and Comanche lands?’’ ‘They will be alloted and opened to set- tlement during the coming year and be- —come a part of Oklahoma. This will throw open to homestead settlement about 14,- ,000 acres of as fine and fertile agricul- tural land as any in the Southwest.’ “What would be the comparative size of cee new State formed of the two terri- es? Le ‘It would about equal Kansas in area, but would have a much smaller proportion of .arid or unproductive land.’ Pie oy statehood convention was called by . Bradford of Ardmore, Il. T., formerly Flag nepl of Kansas.

He was standing in front of the desk at the hotel, after cashing the check. Turning to the clerk he said: “I have come to the conclusion that this game of life isn’t worth the candle. I believe I will cash in my chips.’ The clerk was much surprised at Sand- heim’s speech and he summoned the man’s relatives. Laughed at Friends’ Pleadings. He laughed at their pleading and was an- gered at their threats. He left his sisters and brother in an angry ntood. “You cannot persuade me not to take my life if I want to,’’ he cried .to them as he was leaving. “A man’s life is his own and he can do with it as he chooses. I am go- ing to kill myself next Saturday evening.” Sandheim’s one topic of conversation all through the week was suicide. Yesterday friends asked to have Sandheim arrested, but refused to make a formal] complaint. Sandheim made final preparations to take his life this morning. He gave away all his vlothes except the ones he wore. Two de- tectives were standing in the rear of the Criterion Hotel tonight when Sandheim passed out and started to waJk up tectives.

WORDS STARTLE PARLIAMENT | WORLD AND POST-DISPATCH CA- BLES CORROBORATED. Every Week of War Makes the Pros- pect Worse—Kitchener’s Rigorous Press Censorship. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright. 1900.) LONDON, Dec. 8.—The World and Post- Dispatch special information during the past months regarding the extreme gravity ‘of the South African situation, was fully ‘corroborated by Secretary Joseph Chamber- lain’s admissions and his change of policy. “ The dispatch of Nov. 24 stated: ‘Private }advices declare that famine throughout the Transvaal and the Orange Free State is inevitable.”’ This was the first public information or suggestion of such a calamity, and the House of Commons was amazed and ap- paled when Secretary Chamberlain said: | ‘I am prepared to admit we are face to face with the possibility of something like ‘a famine in eOnsequence of the destruc- tion caused.,”’ The World and Post-Dispatch information induces the fear that Secretary Chamber- lain’s conciliation policy comes too late; the evil is wrought and appears ineradica- ble. Racial animosities aroused cannot be extinguished except by the supremacy of the Dutch majority which England will not tolerate. Secretary Chamberlain does not even believe in such professions of con- ciliation, as he makes his real reliance in separating the Orange Free Staters from the Transvaalers by the offering better terms to the former. Racial unity, howev- er, is a sacred passion with the Dutch and no wedge can be introduced. The present violent eruption of Dutch feeling in Cape Colony was also foretold by World and Post-Dispatch advices when the press here was representing the crisis as past and that an era of pacification had arrived. Gen. Kitchener, not content with his rig- ‘orous press censorship, has expelled all inewspaper correspondents except those of 'Reuters’ Agency from the new colonies. | Every week the war drags on makes |worse the prospect, even if England could afford to be indifferent to the moral strain and financial responsibilities it involves, The mine owners are panic stricken at Secretary Chamberlain's plain hint that the general wealth of the new colonies be utilized to pay the bill. This may throw the capitalists who provoked the war into the arms of Dutch, further intensifying the tremendous complications that imperialism ‘has brought upon the British empire. The war office announces that a gratuity will be paid to every officer and man who |has served in South Africa since Oct. 10, 1899. The least amount will be £5. It is roughly estimated that it will take £1,000,(0) to complete thc payment.

Louis Marsh, a constable of East St Louis, was picked up in an unconscious condition at Tenth and Missouri avenue in that city yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock, He had been thrown from his buggy. clis runaway horse continued on its mad flight through the crowded streets. Mr. Marsh was taken to Dr. Culp’s office, where he was given temporary attention, and then removed to Henrietta Hospital, where Dr. J. L. Wiggins made a thorough examination of his injuries. The constable 's head was frightfully lacerated, a gash fvur inches in length extending acroas the scalp, and the ear was torn off. Mr. Marsh did not regain consciousness for an hour after the accident.* After receiving treatment at the hospital he was conveyed in Dumhoff’s ambulance to his home, 824 Caroline avenue, Winstanley Park. Dr. Wiggins does not apprehend apy shops night, internal injuries,-but they may deve.op. Marsh had been out serving papers in the capacity of constuble. At Sixteenth street and Missouri avenue his horse became frightened and unmanageable. It ran west on Missouri avenue with reckless disre- ard for the safety of pedestrians and ve- icles. The streets were congested with pocuee and horses at that hour of the even- ng, and the frightened animal plunged madly among them. Marsh held onto the reins with the grim determination of check- ing the horse or dying in the attempt. By almost superhuman strength he succeeded in steering the animal clear of cars and ve- hicles, while women and children ran into and stores screaming with fear Spectators of the runaway expected every moment that the horse would take to the sidewalk and crash through a plate g.ass front. It was a spectacu ar exhibition of frenzied speed with a man’s life hanging in the balance. At Tenth street and Missouri avenue the buegy collided with a post, and Marsh was thrown into the gutter.

Clara Wile, and she was determined ‘to wreck a happy home. “The motive for the crime,” he sald, ‘“‘was jealousy and hatred.” Then he compared Clara Wiley's dying statement with Miss Morrison's testimony, as given on the stand. Said he: ‘‘Miss Morrison would have you believe 'that this was a fight in the nature of a barroom brawl. The very language which she said was used is only the language of those who lurk around the barroom in the barroom brawl. The very language which came from the pure lips of Clara Wiley Castle. She was too pure and too devout to use such words.’”’ He closed asking a verdict of first degree murter. The emphatic plea of Mr. Brumback did not affect the prisoner. When he finished he sat as she sat during his argument, with her cheek resting ‘upon the fingers of her sent hand. She was facing the jury square y. V. P. Mooney of Eldorado, one of the counsel for Miss Morrison, made the first argument in her defense. He began with an attack upon Olin Castle, who was not in the courtroom. B. R. Leydig followed Mr. Mooney for the state and then Henry Schumacher closed for the defnse. Monday Judge A. L. Redden will speek for the defendant and Capt. Joe Waters of To- peka for the prosecution. Then the case will go to the jury. Bets are being made on the verdict, which most people believe will be a compromise. Nobody seems to expect a verdict for first degree murder. Jessie Morrison’s .Cross-Examination. Under the most searching cross examina- tion, Friday afternoon, Jessie Morrison never winced. Capt. Waters, counsel for the state, Lad the witness again detail the tragedy at the Castle house. After the first stroke of the razor, sie said, she screamed and threw up her hands and had them up when the second stroke was made. “Did you have a grasp on either arm when the second stroke was delivered? “T don’t remember.’’ “after you had dropped your handker- chief, how long were you in picking it up” “IT picked it up as soon as I could.” Miss Morrison said before this morning she thought that Clara Wiley Castle ha gone to a table in the meantime. “How van vou tell the jury that during the time that you stooped for your hand kerchief she had time to get a razor?”’ “Well, I heard her turn and I thought she went somewhere.” After that Jessie Morrison said Clara Wiley threw her on the lounge and she fell on her with her knées, and it was thei that the wound «in the collar bone was made, she said. “When did she strike you those three blows on the arm?’’ asked Capt. Waters. ‘When we were on the lounge.” a “At what period did you get the razor? “When we were on the floor.” “Where did you cut her first?” “On the throat.” “Did you hear Clara Wiley Castle scream during that time?”’ wind ‘No, I don’t remember that she did.” “Did she say anything to you?’ ‘IT don’t remember that she did.’’ “I believe you said when you cut her throat you thought you had to do it? ‘“*Yes.”’ y “Then you cut her again, didn’t you?” “Yes, I kept cutting,’ said the witness, coolly. “Then you made every cut on Castle?’’ “I don’t remember that she cut herself; she might have.’’ “Then came a time when you were both prone on the floor?’ “Yes, she fell and pulled me down; she kept grabbing my arm and Kept pulling my hair. She was ina sort of sitting position We moved around a geod deal, but | think that was the position.”’ Why She Did Noc Call for Help. “What prevented you after you got the razor from getting up and goifg to the door and screaming for help?’ asked Capt, Waters. “She held me by hair and arm,” the witness. “You say you window?" ab ‘* Clara replied saw somebody going by Ss. “Why didn’t you call to aer?’’ “I did.’’ “What did you say?” ‘?] erled out, ‘O, help, woman; O, help “You say that you went to the house of Mrs. Davis to have collar patterns cyt ffom this letter?’ Miss Morrison took the letter and that the pattern would be made for haif of the collar. “Did your waist which morning button in front?” sot “Was there room in there for a razor or for two razors?” Objected to and sustained. Capt. Waters changed the question sev eral times and to each question objection was raised and sustained. “How many hatpins did you have in your hand that morning when you left the Cas- tle home” “T wo.”’ “Did you cover them with your skirt?’ “I don’t remember that I did.” She said that she found one of the hat- pins stuck in her skirt as she walked home and she thought it might have caught there. Both hatpins, she said, fell from her hat after Mrs. Moberly came in and they both fell at once. “Were you at Clara Castle's wedding?” “IT was not.” “Were you invited?” said only you wore that Obteetion and sustained. “Where did you have the letter when Mra, | Castle first struck you?” “In my hand.” This was a letter of no importance, wasn't it? Why did you want to go back to | the house after you had cut Mrs. Castle's | throat?’’ | ‘I wanted to get the letter out of that house. It was from my sister.”’ Description of Miss | Morrison’s Wounds. The description of the wounds which Jes- Sie Morrison bore after the struggle with Mrs. Clara Castle, given yesterday after- noon by Dr. J. S. Kline, the physician who dressed them, is considered by the attor- neysfior the state one of the strongest | facts of evidence against the young woman, | especially those upon the throat, shows. that they must have been made while Miss Morriso: was still. They are not like the Slash«s that would be made during an en counter. This is in direct opposition to the | theo of the defense that Miss Morrison | was cut by Mrs. Castle and seems to sub- | Stantiate the claim of the prosecution that | Jessie Morrison stood still and cut herself. | Dr. J. 8. Kline, the physician who at- | tended Miss Morrison and dressed her cuts, | was on the witness stand yesterday after- | noon. He described her wounds in these words: Th “There were two wounds on her neck, both beginning on the left side and extend- ing clear around to the right side. They commenced in the same place and ran to- gether for a short distance and then sep- arated and followed around the neck about | an eighth of an inch apart. The cuts were. into the flesh in only two places at the large | muscles on the sides of the neck, and tnere | the flesh was barely penetrated. For the most part they were only thin scratches) barely penetrating the skin. They were lightest in front and the two cuts ended at! the same point.’’ | | | | It is claimed that this shows that the two strokes whith made these long scratches must have been of the same kind and made while Jessie Morrison. was still, or they | would not have run so evenly together | and would not have started and ended at| the same point. There were three wounds| on her left arm, the first was on the should- | er, the second three inches above the el-| bow and the third just about the elbow. The first two wounds cut slightly into the muscle and the third just through the skin. | All these wounds ran very nearly square across the arm and wereabout three inches, long. There was another wound above the collar bone, cutting to the bone about three- | fourths of an inch long. One or two of Miss} Morrison's fingers were split on the ends, The doctor said that it was his impres- sion that these cuts were on the right hand. The prosecution asserts that the three cuts on the left arm and the cut on the left collar bone were made by Jessie Morrison's right hand in which she held a razor, The cuts on the end of the finger of that hand, were made, it is claimed, by her own razor while she was struggling with Clara Castle, Mothers will find Mrs. Winslow s Soothing Syrup the best remedy for their childma ESCAPED FROM HIS THOUGHTS.

So it Was that the pro- feaaton of the entire world was electrified when Dr Irvine K. Mott of Cincinnati, Ohio, demonetrated before a gathering of professore of Harvard university that he had diseovered means whereby he could Jeteet the presence of kidney trouble as far ahead ae fourteen months before,it made itself known in the usual way, through the destruction of the organs of the patient. Dr. Mott had gone farther than this and proved that he had founda sclentific combination of remedies that ‘ould eradicate the disease at any period before the organs were absolutely de- atroyed. Thia will be glad news to thousands of sufferers—it should be a warning to count- lesa others who are unmindful of the fact , that they are already marked as victims of this most terrible and insidious disease, that steals unawares upon its prey like a thief in the night. In his extensive private practice in Cin- cinnati as an exclusive kidney and biad- der specialist Dr. Mott has accomplished hundreds of marvelous cures upon pa- tients from all over the land. If space would permit a page of this newspaper could be filled with their testimonials. With such a discovery at his command, Dr. Mott became convinced that it was a duty he owed humanity to adopt methods to treat patients everywhere by corre- spondence and employ the wide publicity of the newspapers to acquaint them of the facts as they stand. D2. MOTT’S FREE OFFER. “There is one infallible way,” sald Dr. Mott to a representative of this paper, ‘by which to detect the insidious advance of kid- ney disorders — watch the urine. To insure good ‘health this should be examined cheim- ically: at least three times a year. To those who are unable to see me in person I will send a mailing tube for the purpose of send- ing a sample for examination, and also @ book I have written on these troubles and my treatment, and which contains a great many testimonials. Treatment to sult each case is based on careful analysis of this wakeful sentinel. The kidneys are the strain- ers of the blood, and when they fall to per- form their work the entire system soon be- comes involved.”’ Remember that kidney trouble is a de- ceptive malady. Do not be deceived. Do you have any of these symptoms? The passing of urine should be followed by a pleasant sense of relief; any feeling dif- ferent from this is a warning to you and should be taken in time. Also, too fre- quent a desire to urinate, scanty supply, scaiding irritation, pain or dull ache in the back, though it may be felt only early in the morning and pass off later in the day. These are nature's warnings to you that your kidneys are affected. Write Dr. Mott a description of your symptoms, that he may judge your trou- ble. He will send you a mailing tube and upon its return will make an examination of your urine. If you are free from the disease he will tell you so, and it will be joyful news that will cost you nothing. ‘It you need treatment he will treat you and will positively cure you.

FEW OFFERS AND MANY BUYERS SUBURBAN SECURITIES TEMPO- RARILY IGNORED BY TRADERS. Situation Said to Mean That Traffic Agreement, or Closer Relation Be- tween Rivals Will Be Formed to Their Mutual Advantage. . Extraordinary strength was shown by the securities of the St. Louis Transit and United Railways companies on the St. Louis Stock Exchange Saturday, transac- tions being heavier than ever before in the. history of these listings on the Ex- change and there being an advance of full two points in Transit, from 17% Friday to 19%, 3% points. in United Railways pre- ferred from % to 6% the 4s of the United Railways Co., selling at 84%. Reason for the sudden upward spurt in the issues of the syndicate street railway lines of this ¢ity was not lacking, a pau- city._of offerings and general increase in the number 6f bnyers being witnessed for the first time since the deal was consummated by which Brown Bros. consolidated the St. Louls street railways. Local financial circles discussed the sud- den soaring in the prices of the securities with much interest and many rumors were afloat during the rest of the day as to the cause of the sharp appreciations. As far as that is concerned, however, Fourth street has been filled with vague stories concern- ing the transit company for the last six and 1% points in they | | | Rallway or allow the latter company to be- come a most formidable competitor. “The St. Louis & Suburban has, at this very moment, bills before the City Council of St. Louis, which, if passed, will give ita complete belt line of the city of St. Louts, and which cannot but mean the gaining of inestimable advantages.”’ “With its present profitable branches, including the O'Fallon Park, Kirkwood and Clayton, and other lines, the St. Louis & Suburban would, if tneir ~ians do not mis- carry, become —— opposition to the ransit comrpany business.’ Under the “ircumstances, therefore, local financial circles will hardly be surprised to learn of a “‘traffic agreement’ between the Suburban and transit com.fanies. This is, for the present, the plan of those in contro] of both of these corporations. For the fut- ure, more important connections are to be estublished between these two companies, and it is stated that it will be within a short while. ‘At the right time, therefore, the details should be made public,’”’ say the various officials. Just now, nevertheless, the scope of the plans are: much like tha enumerated above. Inspeaetion of the property of the St. Louis Transit and United Railways companies has been in progress for @6everal days. and the representatives of the Messrs. Brow! Bros. are, it is expected, to remain in the city for a short while longer. A favorable report of the gentlemen is geen*ally antici- pated, though the “financial results for the fiscal year are, it is believed, to fall below those of last vear—estimated at $400,000 or thereabouts—owing to the labor troubles experienced by the company during lest summer. One favorable feature toughed upon by a gentleman well known in _ 5t. Louis finance and a reason given for the general advance ‘in prices yesterday, was the fact that the election of Mr. Delano to the board of directors will mean the further interest- ing of eastern capital in the street rail- ways of St. Louis, and that this being the case, there will be a heavy demsnd for the various stocks and bonds from large finan- cial interests, who, by absorbing them, will decrease the floating supply of securities to a large extent. Another factor named by this party was the subject of listing the various issues on the New York Stock Ex- change, which would, of course, mean a wider fleld for the trading and would nec- essarily gain and extend the interest in m. On this account,” the gentleman added, “T believe that further improvement in the price of the securities is probable.” The present financial standing of the United Ra'lways Co. and St. Louis Transit Co. shows that they have a total capitali- zation of $51.000.000 out of an authorized is- sue of $99.000,000. Of this, $23,000,000 in United Ra’lways 4s have been paid over to the stockholders of the several constitu- davs, so that comparatively little attention | ent companies included in the consolidation, wes given to unauthorative »..ch were disseminated with dom, A notable feature in connection with the advance in St. Louis Transit and the stocks of the kindred corporation Saturday, was the sudden lack of demand for the shares of the St... Louis & Suburban Railway, which were neglected throughout the ses- sion of the local brockerage contingent and were haraly mentioned during the day. Local brokers. stated that they had more buying orders yesterday for the transit securities than had been the case in months past. ana, while none would venture to state pos- itively what the reason for this was, with- out exception all admitted that there was something ‘‘in the wind,’’ and that interest- ing developments were expected to ensue in the near future. President Edwards Whitaker of the St. Louis Transit Co., disclaimed any inten- tion of becoming a prophet, advancing a reason for the unusual strength in transit, but readily ‘admitted that the increased demand ‘‘must have caused it.’’’ A large stockholder in the transit com- any said: ‘“‘Now, as a matter of fact, the t. Louis Transit Co. must do two things: Either purchase the St. Louis & Suburban EE a nen nn ny FEMALE WEAKNESS great -Tree- ‘ is more often the sympathetic result of Kidney Trouble than many people realize.

Neither the United Railways or St. Louts Transit Co. have ever issued a report. The onby thing by which the stockholders have been able to gain any idea of the standing of the company has been the quarterly re- turns to the city comptroller, which every local street railway corporation is com- pelled by law to turn in to that office. A New York firm of expert accountants made the investigation of the transit com- nany books in 1899, and stated that up to Dec. 31 that year the surplus over fixed charges. including the interest on the issue of $23,000,000 of 4s was $188,346.21. This has been the only showing given out since the syndicating of the various roads. The St. Louis & Suburban is in very pros- percus shape, and its financial position is considered excellent by local bankers. At the same time, it has been for some time regarded as a certainty that unless the transit company management makes an ar: rangement with the Suburban before long a material change in the_finances and char- acter of the road will WE necessary. On this account persons well informed in the affairs of the local traction situation are expecting a material change in the near future. Meanwhile, the market move. ments of the various secur'ties will engage the interest of financal circles and should, it is thought, lead to a “straw’’ being dis- covered a3 to the direction in which the “wind” is blowing. HIS DEATH BY ACCIDENT. Verdict of Coroner’s Jury in the Case of Chris. Tomlinson. A verdict of accident was rendered yes- terday at the coroner's inquest on the death of Chris Tomlinson, who was shot and killed early Friday morning in Ryan & Hartley's saloon, 1925 Market street. All the testimony received showed that Richard Marshall, who shot Thomas, did | tion for commerce and desires to maintain ppb a bpp pha pb paan pia aaa paaiaeaahanaabaaainonrcirrrt | | | | | | | j so unintentionally, having thrown down his | | countries.’ ’ revolver on the saloon counter in a care- less manner, declaring the weapon to be | worthless. Among the witnesses examined was Nel- lie Wood, the dead man's sweetheart. whom he had last seen about six hours before the shooting. Marshall was held by the police, pending @ possible application for a warrant. HIS WIFE HELPED HIM OUT. Upon Her Testimony Bernard Mc- Kenna Procured a Divorce. Thanks to the help of his wife Bernard McKenna yesterday was able tg procure a decree of divorce. In Judge Spencer's court McKenna had filed a petition, but not being able to prove that his wife had deserted him, she was summonded by the judge and helped him out in his testimony and won him the case. The pair left the courtroom together, evi- dently perfectly friendly. Mchenna is a veteran of the Civil war and receives a pension of $17 a month. Aft- er being married from Sept. 19, 1898, till Aug. 11, 1899, his wife decided that this pension was not sufficient to support both f them and she consequently sought an- ther home.

NEWS GOOD SALE AT EIGHTH STREET AND FRANKLIN AVENUE. _— EXCHANGE COMMITTEE REPORT Agents’ Records of Sales—Leading - Transfers of the Week—Building | Association News—Notes. The most important transaction in real estate circles last week was the sale, ne- gotiated by the Mercantile Trust Co., of the 24x92 feet on the southwest corner of Eighth street and Franklin avenue, from Peter A. O’Neil to Dr. Hiram E. Silver- stone, for $37,500. The improvements consist of a three- story brick building, long occupied by the purchaser as a drug store, and, while well | adapted to their present use, they are not | sufficiently modern to cut much figure in the value of the property. The price paid was $1562 a front foot, or $17 a square foot. This will seem to most judges like a pretty good price for the property—and it is con- siderably more than Mr. O’Nei] paid for it when he bought it several years ago. But the sum paid was really a conservative one, when the growth of Franklin avenue ‘is omer. r. O'Neill is known as a man of ver sound judgment, and one who has savor made a mistake in his real estate Invest- ments. When he bought the property the Street had not anything like the prospective value that it has since obtained and that it still holds. Mr. O'Neil saw the future of the property and has profited by it, and, not- withstanding the apparently high price, real estate experts were declaring yester- day that Dr. Silverstone had secured a very great bargain. They say that if Franklin avenue continues to develop ina sng Rg A the next five years as it é € last tive the prop r Ww as double in value. eo ee In other ways there was a fair busine last week. There is stil] & good cash cake quiry for dwellings, and for lots for im- provement. Building is quite active, not- withstanding the fact that building loans are not quite so easily obtained «cs thev were three months ago; and renting and loans are good features of the market, Exchange and Third Amendment. The committee appointed by the Real bs- tate Exchange to secure legal advice and to recommend what was the best course for agents to pursue in relation to the re- cently adopted constitutional] amendment taxing mortgages, has made its report, and President Macbeth has sent to members ot Freemans = letter which embodies the ice oO e@ committee's , ee age ttee’s report, and After careful examination of the opin- ions of several reputable and prominent attorneys in St. Louis and. other parts of the state with respect to the third constitutional amendment, the board of directors would respectfully suggest that unless a test. case has established the contrary, the California system of mak- ing loans on real estate is the onlv safe course to pursue; that in using this method {it will be necessary to alter the forms of deeds of trust now in current use, and to limit the grantor’s covenant for the payment of taxes in such man- ner that it will not extend to anything except the tax levied upon his interest in the land; and that the form of wg mg Miya in use in Callffor- y be safely used wi + sta loans Y Aare with real estate orm of the collateral agreem ? is in use in California, aad sthien the aun preme Court of that state has decided is not in violation of the organic law, was sent by Mr. @Macbeth to each agent. fhe fact that precedents count for so much in law makes the committee’s report acceptable to agents’ generally. The Cali- fornia form of trust deed, with the collater- al agreement, is already in use in this city y the Mercantile Trust Co., Messrs. Aug- ust Gehner & Co., Charles F. Vogel, the Lincoln Trust Co., and other lending agen- jes.

In discussing questions such as this, dealing with the con- duct of life, it is well to keep in mind the fact that human nature is far from perfect. If men could be sure of forgive- ness, the manly soul would more frequently unburden itself. Is it not a fact that many a woman who insists on complete confidence would judge harshly the man who dared to obey its demands? Some day it may be possible to permit others to read our inmost thoughts. The time may even come when science shall make it impossible to conceal them.

Readers of the Post-Dispatch who have followed the growth of the Christmas Festival Fund must have been struck by the large number of contributions from children and poor persons. The “widow's mite’’ has been more frequent than the gift of the well-to-do. This is a touching exhibition of simple generosity, which gives without hope of reward, only because the heart is appealed to @nd that fellow feeling which makes the world akin is aroused. The Christmas Festival Fund isa new thiing. It has only been in existence a week. This probably explains the fact above noted. The busy men and women have not had time to consider the matter in its proper light. Now, on the day of rest, they will undoubtedly give thought to this opportunity to make the Christmas season a blessing to others. This, the last Christmas of the century, should be made giad for ali the human race, if that were possible. But we can do something. At our door are thousands of men, women and children, destitute, halt, lame, blind and in other Ways affilcted whose need cries out to us. Surely we cannot enjoy Christmas as we should without doing our part in the effort to make Christmas happy for these unfortunates. ———_——— @ 9e Perhaps the war stamp taxes were retained by last winter's Congress in order that there might be money to appropriate for Mr. Hanna's ship subsidies. = = i i MARITAL CONFIDENCES. Several Post-Dispatch readers have discussed the question, “Should a Married Man Tell His Wife Everything ?’—which ‘Was suggested by a letter in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. The final word on this subject will probably never be said. _ Bome hold that mutual confidence should be complete, ex- tending to all sins of omission and commissio at married ‘tners should confess to one another and conceas nothing. Others contend that such action would break up gamilies, 4 a ? ad «* . cf . ba & : : Se Se? 7 > : “ ‘ i Fad Pe TR OA. , . 2 ' Ce Co ram i st) ay ae 3 . i we ae : Meee. as 4 : ae 4 ee 2 & 3 . . a as’ wn ; ¢ * we yet attained that power.

A large independent vote can compel both the great parties to nominate trustworthy and capable men for muni- cipal offices. The practice of choosing city officials merely because they belong to one party or another should go out with the old ceniury. = = » ii a ol AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC PAPER. On another page will be found Mr. Bryan’s analysis of the President’s message, telegraphed by the author exclusively to the Sunday Post-Dispatch and New York World. This is by far the most important unofficial public paper since the Indianapolis address, and, except the President's message itself, the most important public utterance for sev- eral months. Mr. Bryan’s examination of the message corresponds to the motion to amend the Queen’s address from the throne, always made by the leader of the opposition at the opening of the British Parliament. It is a complete review in detail of the policy outlined by Mr. McKinley, and a criticism of the administration program from Mr. Bryan’s standpoint—that is, from the standpoint of the opposition. This statement involves issues of the greatest pith and moment and indicates Mr. Pryan’s view of the true American policy. The Democratic leader has chosen the columns of the Post-Dispatch and World as the best medium of com- munication with his countrymen. The paper is of deepest interest to all Americans. The in American politics. It cannot be profitable to street railways to fight damage suits or to be killing off people who may be their passengers if allowed to live. Fenders that fend are not a bad invest- ment. P i= = i A HIS FAMILY WAS HIS FORTUNE. Yves Kermas, the original of Pierre Loti’s Yves in ‘““Madame Chrysantheme,.” has just celebrated the birth of his thir- teenth child by committing suicide. In a farewell letter to his wife he wrote: ‘There seems to be no end of this thing so long as I am alive, so I am going. I have been a slave long enough anyway. Adieu, wife. Do the best you can. I warned you that I wouldn't stand one above a dozen.” Yves Kermas was a fool. philosopher. A few weeks since the Sunday Post-Dispatch printed the story of a man who was father of 40 children. So far from being discouraged this man was immensely proud of his achievements. He pointed out that large families paid. Tre first 10 or 12 might be a burden: but after that they paid a dividend. As they grew up and went to work the combined earning power of the family rapidly increased, and so it came about that this man, 40 times a father, was in clover. Yves Kermas should have known that his family was his fortune; the bigger the family the bigger the fortune. Had he seen this he would have lived on bravely and soon he, too, wouid have been in clover. Instead, he whiningly accused his wife and slid out of life. He was not even a rudimentary = = i i 99 If for years the mayors, comptrollers, supply commis- sioners and other officials requiring supplies have been vio- lating a vitaHy important city ordinance, it is certainly time for the St. Louis voter to wake up.

To the Editor of the Post Dispatch. In your issue of yesterday in giving an account of the narrow escape of the Farrish family, 3833 Delmar boulevard, from a death of fire, an important feature was not knuwn to your reporter, which I think deserves notice and praise. Mr. Percy W. Johnson who was return- ing from an entertainment at the time of the fire, saw the flames bursting from the basement windows and heard the cry of fire and distress. He ran to the house and found that some one had forced the front door, but that the smoke was so dense it had baffled all efforts of those on the Oe dhe from entering to save those inside. At the same time a woman was wringing her hands in mortal agony over the probable fate of the family still in the house. Mr, Johnson taking in the situation at a glance, entered the house at the risk of his life, and hearing sounds of distress on the sec- ond floor rushed to the assistance of Mr. Farrish Who was at the head of the stairs unable to move. Mr. Johnson put his arm around him and tried to drag him down the stairs. Mr. Farrish cried out “Oh! | am lame,”’ after which Mr. Johnson supported Mr. Farrish by putting his arm around his waist and gently helping him down to the sidewalk; he did not see Mrs. Farrish until he reached the street. Without this timely aid Mr: Farrish would undoubtedly have perished from suffoca- tion as the fire department did not arrive until some time after. A LOOKERON. A Married Woman’s View. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reply to your correspondent, Frank Freeman, who asked, “Should a man tell his wife everything?” I would say: Yes, and so should a wife tell her husband ev- erything. There is but one way to get out of it, and that is, do nothing that you would not like for your wife to know; then you have nothing to hide and she has nothing to find out. . I was very much amused at “The Men Dare Not,”’ and, accdrding to “A Kentuck- ian’s View,’’ I think he is a very narrow- minded and vain man. His view is that a woman is created for the sole purpose of serving man. I say, and I think that most men will agree with me, that a wife should be the husband’s partner in one and all things. She is inferior to man only in one particular, and that is, in strength and size. Does he know that over half of the world is ruled by woman? How many great and famous men attributed their success to the wise guidance of their wives? A wife, if she love her husband, will always work for his good, but how can she if she knows nothing of his outside affairs? ; The problem of a “happy married life is, and always will be this: Love one another, confide in one another and stand oy one another—that has been my experience.’ St. Louts. MARRIED. Should Not Tell His Faults. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I say in regard to a man telling his secrets to his wife, let him tell her how his business stands, in case anything happens to him, so that she is not left in a world of trouble. As far as his weaknesses are concerned, the least she knows of them the better, for we all know (what you don't know doesn't worry you) if the men would tell their wives eyerything there would be about 500 divorce suits filed in St. Louis tomorrow to start with. ERMA. Blocking the Street. To the Fuditor of the Post-Dispatch. On Friday, when the mud on Locust street was ankle-deep, the contractor, who is putting up a building opposite the back of the Postoffice, forced pedestrians to take to the street. The sidewalk was shut off, and there was nothing to be done but.wade through the mud. As the opposite side of that street at the Postoffice is usually blocked by mail wagons, it seemed to me to be going a2 little too far thus to turn the people off the sidewalk. If builders must use sidewalks, they should be com- pelled to construct a temporary way around the blocked spot, so that pedestrians may have a part of their rights. St. Louis. A WALKER. Let Whistlers Beware. To the Pditor of the Post-Dispatch. In your issue of Dec. 6, 1900, your pfintea article headed ‘‘Some Rights of a Citizen, Mr. H. Schroeder Was arrested for singing to himself!

FY, ( ERRICK — 4 PRINCETON, Ky., Dec. 8.—Just as much mystery surrounds the Merrick grave rob- bery case as on the day after the announce- ment that the body of Frank Merrick had been removed from the place where it was buried. The mystery will not be solved until the grave is opened, but, strange to say, while in doubt himself, the father of Frank Mer- rick, old man Robert Merrick, will not con- sent to the undertaking. It has been thought that he would recede, but he does not. Instead of Frank Merrick’s body being stolen it is now claimed by some that the grave was | opened for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the coffin con- tained Merrick’s body. As his widow was not with him in his last sickness or death, and as she was so positive in swearing to her widowhood when she obtained her mar- riage license, it is thought she had some- thing to do with the grave being opened. On the other hand some believe his body has been removed. At any rate the grave has undoubtedly been tampered with. Grave Was Tampered With. James Merrick, a cousin of Frank Mer- rick, who lives near the graveyard, was the last man to leave the grave ‘except the tramp, and he made certain marks on the mound so that in case it was tampered with he could detect it. James Merrick was away from hume in the early part of the night, but he watched the dave during the latter part, expecting that an attempt would be made to remove the corpse, but he saw nothing. The nent morning he found most of the marks, but there were unmistakable signs to show that some one had exhumed the body. In the meantime, in the early part of the evening, a tightly-covered wagon with the driver concealed was seen by the neigh- bors to Issue from the lane leading to the raveyard. The horses were whipped to a Creack-neck speed and the vehicle went in the direction of Cadiz. It was early last winter that the wedding occurred that is responsible for the present mystery. At that time Frank Merrick, an unassuming young farmer of Trigg County. fell desperately in love with Cora Reece, a 18-year-old country lass of likely face and form. The parents of the boy objected to op match, but on Jan. 3 he marricd the girl. For a space of six weeks all went lovely and both were happy. The young man’s parents changed their first opinion of «the girl-wife. But when spring arrivéd the couple separated. Merrick loved his young spouse fondly, and never did he seem to blame her. She Demanded a Thousand Dollars. For months they lived apart, the husband making desperate efforts to get back his wife. At last she promised to return, on the condition that he raise for her $1000. She prompted him to go West and secure the money in some manner. He resorted to forgery, first practicing on a small bank at Kuttawa, in this state. He met with such success that he forthwith visited IIli- nois, Missouri, Texas and Arkansas, forg- ing checks for large amounts in numerous cities and towns. In most instances the firm name of R. U. Kevil & Sons, millers, ss ri was signed. Vhile the man was doing the woman's bidding she became infatuated with a cer- tain James Moore of this county. He is 2 middle-aged farmer, very ordinary and con- sidered poor. Mrs. Merrick soon announced her intention of marrying her new suitor and on the spur of the moment filed a suit for divorce. In her Pection she charged cruelty and intimated to rsons in this city that her husband was the one who had committed the sensational forgeries. Merrick Was ae Soon Arrested. Frank Merrick had been suffering with bowel consumption and had come home to die. As soon as it berame generally known that his wife had accused him, officers ap- ded hi t , foay 2 ae cother's home. \ apd, immediately after the marriage. Frank, in anticipation of grave robbery. Early the next morning the cousin exam- ined the mound and discovered unmistak- able signs that the grave had been opened. In the meantime the wife had failed to visit her husband and with the others pro- fessed to believe he was not dead. Contrary to everybody's belief therefore she swore two days afterwards that Mer- rick was dead. and procured a license to marry Moore. The marriage was performed in the county clerk's office. Circumstances therefore led to the belief that she was instrumental in having the body taken up that she might satisfy her- self as to the facts. The couple cannot now be located. as they drove away from here FOUND HIS WIFE'S HUSBAND Accidental Meeting of Two Men Devel- oped the Fact That They Were Both Married to the Same Woman.

Greeting Was Answered by a Request for Support of Or- ganized Labor. LOUISVILLE, Dec. 8.—The first business of today’s session of the American Federa- tion of Labor convention was the presenta- tion of the report of the executive council through Second Vice-President Duncan, re- viewing the action of national and inter- national unions for the past year. The re- port criticided the failure of the Georgia legislature to pass the child labor bill and recommend renewed efforirs at the next ses- sion; criticised the treatment of the strect railway employes in St. Louis during the street railway strike in that city; the action | of La Resistencia of Tampa, Fla., and reaf- firmed the right of American citizens to work without hindrance; cites the reduction of the working hours of granite cutters to eight hours and increased average wages 16 2-3 per cent in the United States and Canada. The report was referred. The greater portion of the afternoon ses- sion was taken up by the formal presenta- tion of fraternal delegates, John Weir, gen- eral secretary of the Fifeshire Association of Scotland, and P. D. Curren, chairman of the general federation of trades unions of Great Britain, and David A. Carey of the Canadian Trades Council, and a short re- sponse by Mr. Gompers. Walter Vrooman, founder of Ruskin Hall in Oxford, England, and Trenton, Mo., made an address in behalf of the movement in which he is engaged. A resolution was adopted, in response to the greeting of the W. C. T. U. at Washing- ton, that the Federation accept the good will of that body and “extend hearty co- operation in the good work in which they are engaged”’ and asking that the W. C. T. U. in turn manifest scympathy with organ- ized labor by giving patronage to Union Labels in every trade. John A. Hunter, who was one of the fra- ternal delegates to the last British trades union congress, then read his report as such delegate.

The early years of th ed life saw many changes in the official life at Wash- ington, but no changes came into lives. Instead they were blessed. A Daughter Was Born. A daughter was born to them and their happiness seemed complete. Wealth, posi- tlon—everything was there. “As happy as the Davises,"" was a com- mon saying in Washington, at Lenox and at Bar Harbor, where they went as the so- cial seasons shifted. How the change came into that happy little family none has yet explained. It was said that a coldness was first noticed between the judge and his beautiful wife at Lenox fourteen years ago. He spoke to her at a dinner not as Til- lie, or my dear, as had been his wont, but as Mrs. Davis. Then society pricked up its ears and listened. The Davises gave no sign. The following winter Mrs. Davis and her daughter Bessie, a young girl, wert abroad. Their Connecticut avenue house in Wash- a was closed. The judge lived at a hotel. For several years she lived in a style of comfort approaching magnificence, which her wealth permitted, in London, Berlin and in Italy. Then the mother and daughter returned.

Utherwise Mr. Hay’s latest propositions receive, on the whole, general approval, and promise to form the basis for an event- ual settlement.

There is no attempt here to conceal the fact that in the efforts to achieve this, important concessions from the original attitude of the powers con- cerned have been made to China. BON! MAY SAVE HIS YACHT It Has Been Attached by a Banker, but the Court Has Given Castellane Until February to Redeem It. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.) PARIS, Dec. 8.—The recent announcement of Count Boni de Castellane to sell the yacht Walhalla cheap, is now explained. M. Davillier, a Paris banker, who has been unable, despite repeated threats, to get repayment of sums he had advanced to the count, attached the vessel yesterday and at the same time appeared in a civil tribunal iw Havre with an application to make the seizure final. Castellane’s attorney said the Walhalla was worth much more than the _ 750,009 francs ($150,000) he owed M. Davillier, the original cost being 850,000 francs ($179,0%), in addition to which he had spent over sv(,- 000 francs ($60,000) in refitting the craft. Therefore, he begged delay. The court declined to release the yacht, but granted Castellane until the end of T’ebruary. Unless the 750,000 francs be paid then, the yacht will be sold by public auc- tion, the minimum price to be accepted be- ing fixed at half the value recognized by poth parties to the suit—650,000 francs ($1!9,- wm.) The Count and Countess Boni de Castel- lane deny any intention of settling in Lon- don permanently. Boni said to the Post Dispatch correspondent: “We go to England yearly at the height of the season. This time our stay will be no longer than: usual.’’ ENGINE AND HEARSE GONE Two of the Queerest Thefts Are Puzzling Police of the City of Paris. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.)

NOBODY WANTS TO FIGHT Jean Jaures Says Mercier and Cham- berlain Ought to Be Killed Like Dogs. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, Wve.) PARIS, Dec. 8.—Gen. Mercier is again en- joying several radically different kinds of popularity since his speech in the Senate demanding that the French Government be directed to take measures to insure the suc- cess of an cventual invasion of England. In that speech he revealed the secret that in 1897, while he was the minister of war, he had worked out all the details of such an | invasion. The patriots of the rabid school now nail Mercier as a Cesar, as the only man able to lead France to glory. But sensible people deplore the speech, which it is believed will certainly have serious consequences, ‘e- spite the forced levity with which England greeted Mercier’s deciaration. The best newspapers print harsh edito- rials upon Mercier. Several demand that he be tried for high treason, having <di*- closed state secrets. Jean Jaures, the great Socialist chief, writes: ‘Neither the English nor the French peo- ee ple want to fight. They know and esteem each other. Subsidized political knaves are responsible for the friction. Such men as Chamberlain and Mercier, in whichever — country they happen to be found, ought te be put to death without any more formality than is used to get rid of mad dogs. Phey are public, universal calamities.” Gen. Mercier's wife is English and he owns large estates in England.

Profusions of yellow chrysanthemums, emilax and growing plants were used to trim the dining room, drawing room and re- ception hall, while American beauties made the library more attractive.

Miss Newman’s Reception. Everybody, it would seem, who attend- ed the Newman reception Tuesday even- ing, enjoyed himself tremendously. The af- fair was given by Miss Caroline Newman of. 4225 Delmar boulevard in honor of her cousin, Mile. Yvonne de Lapierre of Paris, France, who is paying her a visit of several weeks. Mile. de Lapierre, who {fs not as French- looking as her name would indicate, but who is entirely foreign in her ideas and her fascinating manner, has literally taken so- ciety by storm. She is tall and slender and ‘“chatain,’’ somewhat suggestive of Bernhardt in her lithe gracefulness, and what is decidedly captivating to the ave- erage American, is the quaint little French accent and gestures which give her a pe- culiar charm of manner. Tuesday night Mile. de Laplerre was at- tractively gowned in white chiffon span- gled in silver and trimmed with yellow chrysanthemums and soft choux of pale turquoise panne. Miss Newman, who ts also thoroughly de- lightfn)] and charming, was prettily gowned in lettuce-green chiffo decorated with ums and trimmed with pleatings of mousseline de soie. The whole gown was made over a liberty satin slip of the same shade, the corsage low and sleeveless and the skirt en demitrain. Mrs. Wentworth Terry and Mrs. L. E. Newman, who assisted in receiving, were also handsomely gowned, Mrs. Terry wear- ing gdéld-colored satin veiled in Chantilly lace and Mrs. Newman wearing a chic cos- tume of blue glace silk trimmed with chif- fon and Jeweled lace. iss Marie von Phul and Miss Madge Bryant presided at the table in the dining room and Misses Clemence Clark and Cath- ering Coombs served the punch. The drawing room was prettily decorated for the occasion with pink and white roses; the libr@ry with American beauties and the dining room with bridemaid roses and stevia, There were about 250 guests present dur- ing the eveni and many of these re- mained for the dancing after the reception. Minstrels for Charity. The celebrated. annual performance by the Hot Time Minstrel Troupe, composed of scions of the most prominent famnitiog in town, comes off tomorrow night at the Odeon. The proceeds, as usual, are to be given to a sag ges J charitable institu tion, and partly for this reason and partly because society knows a good thing now and then, the big auditorium will prob- ag & be packed to the doors. The program will open with the olfo. thus deferring the troupe-singing until the se-:- ond half of the entertainment. The first number will be a group of cun- ning little Barker-Rolls, sung by the Hi. T Quartet, which includes Step-Hen A. Martin, Wall-Ace Niedrinzghaus, Master Onie Gale and little Bert McKinney. Number two will be an original mono- logue by one J. Hubert Kelley, who will 4ntroduce into his specialty.a piano, a set of teeth and a private whistling appara- tus. On the piano he will perfésem several weird and wonderful impersonations of a man playing’ rag-time. On his teeth he will e an imitation of a xylophone solo, and with his “personality” he will whistle a few yards of his own peculiar rendi- tion of the classics. After Mr. Kelley will be the star perform- ance of the olio, a sketch called ‘‘The B'ack- ville Derby,"’ written by Trabue Pittman, and performed by Mr. Pittman and his able ere and inseparable friend, Mr. Har- vey Dickeyw These two burnt corkers wil! ae three brandnew coon songs during their turn, and will generally scintillate in the way of repartee. This number wil! be followed by @ vocal Rolo by the only living lady baritone, Mlle. TM. Lackland, who will sing ‘‘Beyond the Gates of Paradise,’ with organ accompani- ment (hand-made and warranted to last), by the distinguished Mr. Arthur Lieber. Part two of the program will be a mag- nificent banquet scene, with the entire troupe in evening clothes, seated at a hand- *somely decorated table, while the four end *4en, Messrs. Pittman, Hickey, Gale and ividson, wi'l serve as the waiters. Twen- ty © wagon loads of plants and flowers have been procured to preperly decorate the stage for this scene.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatth. (Copyright, 1900.) LONDON, Dec. 8.—Rudyard Kipling has come out as a strong advocate of temper- ance. Writing on the subject, he says: “So far as I could see in South Africa, it | did not matter what sort of sprits a man | fancied, because there was not the least danger of his getting more than was good for him. On the other hand, men who could do without liquor, who did not fancy they needed to flood their inside every two or three hours, got not better than the men who, through mere physical incontinence and carelessness, were coystantly sucking their water bottles. ‘‘In this, as in all things, the man who is temperate in the full sense of the word, sur- vives.

LONDON, Dec. 8.—Fovr young swells of 20—Charles Dudley Ward, first cousin of Earl Dudley; Lord Alan Percy, sec- son of the duke of Northumber- land; Johy, Spencer Coke, third son of the earl of Ligce ester, and Robert Oppenheim, son of the millionaire banker, were charged in the police court with attempting to force their way into the pavilion of a music hall without paying and, when ejected, with linking their arms and pushing foot pas- sengers on Picadilly. A constable a charge of also ee 4 drunkenness, but the pvolé§e doctor certi- | fied that they were only excited and not drunk. The accused, who were up from Cam- bridge University for the evening, vigor- ously denied both acusations, stating that | a friend of Oppenheim’s had a box in the pavilion and that they had been invited to join him. They also charged the po- | liceman with exasperating them, but the magistrate fined them $ or fourteen days’ imprisonment each. This sentence was undoubtedly more se- vere than would have.been inflicted on less agistocratic prisoners, but in London po- lice courts the motto “Noblesse oblige” invariably holds good. secumnatngmmes oe — = COUNTESS THROWN BY FIANCE It Was in Wrestling Match in Faris, and Helene Richman Made Stub- s born Fight.

Miss Fremont possesses an attractive personality and displays a marked talent for the light comedy roles in the lyric repertoire. This is her second sea- son on the comic opera stage. Among the most important bookings made for this season by Manager Short of the Century Theater is Marie Burroughs in “The Battle of the Strong.” The book, which is from the pen of the English nov- élist, Gilbert Parker, has achieved a wide- spread popularity in this country. It has been dramatized by Edward E. Rose and Willis Steell. Mr. Rose's name is identified with several dramatic successes now before the public and his work in “The Battle of the Strong”’ is said to have eclipsed all of his previous efforts. Miss Burroughs’ man- ager, D. V. Arthur, has engaged to support his star a particularly strong company, in- cluding Maurice Barrymore. The play wiil be produced in this eity Christmas week. Manager Garen of Havlin’s and the Grand Opera House is to have his benefit at Hav- lin’'s Monday night, Feb. 4. This is his sixth year as a local manages here, and it is: his laudable ambition to give his many friends one of the biggest entertainments that has ever been seen On one stage, in appreciation of the generous support they have given him. The attraction will be a new play, “The Gunner's Mate.”’ That it is under the personal direction of Augustus Pitou, one of the oldest and most prominent of the managers of this country, is evidence that it will be one of the successes of the sea- son. He writes that it is among the most eiaborate of all of the productions with which he has been connected. Mr. Garen has also been requested to ap- pear in the one-act sketch, ‘A Manager's Woes.” He has decided to do so, and is having a special set of scenery painted for the farce. He has also arranged for a num- ber of popular local features. The literary friends of James Whitcomb Riley are combining their influence for @ | “Richard Savage,” as it was her play, “An American Citizen,” that brought about his extended engagements in New York and London. One of the brighest things in the theatri- cal firmament that has crepped out of late years is Fred Raymond's domestic play, “The Missouri Girl,”’ which will be seen here next week. It depicts country life in southwest Missouri, during the exciting times when zinc and lead ore was being discovered in large quantities in every farmer’s dooryard or cornfield. Mr. Ray- mond has discovered characters new fo the stage, and which are out of the ordinary run of those usually seen in this class of plays. The new play that Mrs. Fiske will pro- duce in Chicago during her present engage- ment in that city is called ‘‘Sylvia’s Daugh- ter.’’ It is not by Sudermann, as has been stated, but is the work of Henrick Chris- tlernson, one of the ablest of the younger school of Scandinavian dramatists. It was simultaneously produced less than two years ago in Stockhoim, Sweden, where its author resides, and in Copenhagen, Den- mark, and. made such an impression that it at once went to the Berliner Theater, Berlin. Mark Twain has decided that he wishes his daughter, Clara Clemens, who is to go on the concert stage soon, to appear first in America, and he is eagerly looking forward to that “first appearance.”’ Miss Clemens, too, who is thorougthly American, prefers to sing first in her native land, not because she wishes to use her father’s fame as a stepping-stone, but because she loves her native land better than all others. The marriage of Miss Norma Whaley and J. Sherrie Matthews of the theatrical team of Matthews and Bulger will take place early next month. Miss Whaley was en- gaged for some time to Walter Jones, who broke his engagement to a Chicago heiress to marry the actress.

The play and star stored a success. The supporting company is a notably strong one, including William J. Ferguson, E. 8. Abeles, Margaret Fuller, Sandol Milliken, Horace Lewis and Ffolliot Paget. Maude Adams’ tour its all prepared. She« will be kept busy until next June, for after her season at the Knickerbocker she will visit all the leading towns for an extended route. , Mrs. Le Moyne is to play some of the time booked for FE. H. Sothern, which in- cludes territory through the South. Papinta has been offered an engagement by Charles Slater at the Alhambra, Londorf The offer is in abeyance as yet. Let us trust it will be accepted. The attendance the Klaw & Erlanger &at- tractions are playing to this season constl- tutes one of the most remarkable features of the present theatrical year and has been the subject of’ comment by managers throughout the country. At the Chestnut Street Opera House in Philadelphia last week “Ben Hur’s’” receipts were $20,400. This amount is the largest ever taken by any dramatic attraction at the prices in any theater in America. Therefore, ‘‘Bén Hur’s” last week’s business in the Chest- nut Street Opera House is the most re- markable in the history of the American stage. A. G. Delamater has joined the staff of Edward C. White to represent Mildred Hol- land in ‘The Power Behind the Throne.” Della Fox will shortly forsake vaudeville for a part in a musical plece called “A Good Fellow,” which will be produced some- time this month. Lawrence Hanley will open on Jan. 21 in W. J. Thorold’s new production, ‘‘Near the Throne,”’ in which he will be featured. E. H. Sothern was so much improved in health last week that his physicians told him he might count upon reopening in “Hamlet” in St. Louis on Dec. 24. An experiment was tried at Proctor’s Theater on Wednesday afternoon last, with a view.to finding out* whether a good wrestling act would appeal to a refined au- dience. Ernest Roeber and Charles Leonard were the contestants, and they gave a very interesting exhibition, refereed by Ernest Bial, whose whiskers lent a picturesque ef- fect to the turn. The audience, a a whole, seemed to enjoy the struggle of the gladia- tors, but a few timid women in the front rows seemed to be rather distressed by the turn. “Alice in Wonderland,”’ the story of which was written by Lewis Carroll, and drama- tized by Miss D. Hope Leonard of New York, will be produced at the Odeon Christ- mas week. Five hundred St. Louis children will take part in the cast and chorus, Cake- walks, fairies, fancy dances, grand marches, ballets, etc., by the little ones will be interesting features. The operetta is ar- ranged for prologue and two parts and will be personally directed by the author, Miss Leonard, and will be given under the au- spices of the associated lodges of the La- dies of the Maccabees. The new play. produced in London last Tuesday night at the Haymarket Theater, which is entitled ‘“‘Second in Command,” and is by Capt. E. Marshall, author of “A Royal Family,” has been secured by Charles Frohman for this country. Capt. Marshall is now at work upon a new play, which, it is expected, will be suitable for Miss Annie Russell.

Hundreds of persons were present. The re- ception was purely informal. A musical program was rendered, after which H: C. Morrison, a life-long friend and school- mate of Mr. Major, made a brief address, eulogizing Mr. Major and his work. He recited the fact that only a few years ago the word ‘‘Hoosier’’ was one of reproach, and used in contempt. But now Indiana has forged to the front in the sisterhood of states, until the word ‘‘Hoostfer’’ is a badge of honor, worn by all Indianians with pride. Mr. Major in his response said that in St. Louis he was able to withstand the calls of a great multitude fr a speech, but at home he was too deeply moved to refuse the desire to say something. To best por- tray his feelings, he said, that in the play taken from his book is a scene where Mary Tudor and Brandon, after a long and hard ride, occupying the entire night, Brandon feeling respect due Mary, addressed her as ‘‘Lady Mary,’’ and she replied, “Just call me Mary.’’ Mr. Major said: “I am hap- plest because ‘everybody just calls me Charley.’ ”’ COE SESCESEESSESSESO OOS ee & oe “e * ATTRACTIONS OF THE WEEK. ° & & PO SOSSSO SOO ES fo he me o> & T IS a quaint and infinitely droll conceit that Mr. Frank Pixley bas made the basis of the story that is told in the musical comedy, ‘The Burgomaster,’’ which is announced for a return date at the Century commencing tonight. Briefly told, the story !s of two Dutchmen, Peter Stuyvesant, whilom governor of New Amsterdam, and his secretary, Doodle Von Kull, who, having drunk a draft of drugged liquor, intended for the Tammany Indians, are thrown into a sleep that lasts for 250 years, and from which they are awakened by a guntg of street laborers, who are excavating a sewer. But there is more in this show that passes be- fore the eyes of the Dutchman in the book Mr. Pixley has written. There is plenty of fun, but it is all clean and = sparkling. The music which Gustav Luders has _ set to Mr. Pixley’s jingling, euphonious ly- rics is equally worthy of commendation. The melodies are catchy, tuneful, admirably orchestrat- ed and abound in warmth and color. Nothing neat- er than the Kangaroo song bas been heard in many a day. The compzeny is changed since its last appear- ance, and ancludes Gus ©. Weinberg, one of tbe most popular St. Louis favorites on the boards to- day; Knox Wilson, William Riley Hatch, Charles Allison, Will Rock, Al J. Lyman, Edith Yorring- ton, Lillian Coleman, Laura Joyce Bell, Ollie Sul- liven, Luella Drew and Josephyne Newman are in evidence throughout the performance. Next Sunday, Gertrude Goghlan in ‘‘Vanity Fair.’’ ‘‘The Eleventh Hour’’ will be Manager Garen’s offering at Havlin’s beginning with the matinee of today. It is not only the latest of the plays of Lincoln J. Carter, but is said to be the most real- istic and sentimental of all of the productions of that special school of melodrama. The staging and the original scenic and mechanical effects are said to be the best he has ever produced. The first of the settings is that of a mil’ in interior Illinois. Next is a sitting room in the house of the miller. This Is followed by the exterior of a blockhouse, or tower, on the line of the Northwestern Railway, and that by the interior of the same. The scene then shifts to the Bismarck gardens of Chicago, and the closing scene is that of the home of a mil- lionaire on Michigan boulevard. The story is one that carries with it a continu- ous interest. The villain is one of the most vil- lainous of his tribe, but in the telling of the story there is an utter absence of the use of the re- volver. There is a hand-to-hand strugg'’e in the last act that is said to be especially thrilling. ‘‘The Missouri! Girl’’ will be the attraction af Havlin’s beginning with the matinee of Sunday, Dec. 16. ‘The Telephone Girl’’ will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House beginning with the matinee of today. ‘*The Telephone Girl’’ is among the most pronounced successes of the New York Casino. It wil’ make an exception in the engagement at the Grand in playing outside of the old scale of high prices. Miss Mabel Hite is the vivacious telephone girl. Harry Hermngsen bas the opposite part. Among the others of the cast ar@*Adele Palmer, Flora Parker, Louise Lewls, Margie Ford, Bert de Ruelle, Charles Burrows, Edward Lehey, John J. Magee, Winfred Donglass, Lola Bigger and Min- nie Dreher. The chorus is espectal'y well spoken of individually and in its general costuming. For the matinee of Sunday, Dec. 16, ‘‘The Heart of Maryland’ will be the attraction. The change of bill at the Columbia tomorrow | brings three French opera singers*almost unknown |in the West, but justly celebrated in the East as vocalists of exceptional power. They are Marius Delaur and the Sisters Debrimont. The former is a baritone, Alice Debrimont is a dra- matic soprano, and her sister a light soprano. heir vaudeville repertoire includes arias from ‘“Faust,”’ ‘Juanita,’’ ‘‘La Perichole’’ and other operas, Haines and Pettingill have been well to the fore for 15 years. First as minstrels and later as variety performers, their work has always been of the sort calculated to please box parties as well as the gallery gods. This season they are presenting a new sketch. Julia Kingsley, so long associated with Burt Coote in various suc- cessful farces, appears in a comedietta called “Her Uncle’s Niece.’ Nelson Lewis supports her act. Phyllis Ailen, a pleasing balladist; Annie Hart, ser!o-comic, and Kolb and Dill in thelr Ger- man comedy act, ‘“Together, Side by Each,’’ will have good places on the program. Others engaged for this week are William J Mills, character | delineator: the Three Renos. grotesque acrobats; Leonzo, juggler; Smith and Cross, rapid fire con- versationalists, and Nettle Fields, dancer. The annual engagement of the Bostonians at the Olympic Theater will be ushered in tomorrow night with an opera new to St, Louis music lovers. This work, the joint composition of Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith, has been expressly written for this company and bas enjoyed a successfu' vogue in other large cities. The following are in the cast: Henry Clay Barnabee, W. i MeDonald, Hilda Clark, Albert Parr, John Dunsmure, George Froth- ingham, W. H. Fitzgerald, Josephine Lartlett, Adele Rafter, Belle Fremont, Mabel Pierson, Ver- non Stiles, J. J. Martin and Chariea R. Hawley. A latge and bril‘iant chorus and orchestra, under the direction of S. L. Studley, will be a special feature. The story, which is laid in the 16th century in Sicily, lends itself readily to pictortal treatment, and the scenery and costumes are gorgeous and attractive. triefily outlined, the argument is as follows: The rightful heir to the throne of 5i- cily, Tivolini, has been proscribed by his cousin, who seizes the throne and manages the kingdom in a bigh-handed manner. Tivolini turning pirate rev- ages the coast, and through his minions manages to secure a tryst with his betrothed, Beatrice. ing from the 'atter that the viceroy is determined to marry her, he throws prudence to the winds, is his release, and descending upon the town of Pa- eral comic opera touches, he is released.

PASCOE, Imperial Stock Company. given to thoroughly ingratiate himself in | public favor, ‘‘Friends”’ the ideal play for the occasion. Few bet- ter or more generally satisfactory plays than ‘‘Friends” have been written in many a year, and its delicate vein of humor, strong dramatic scenes, and, above all, in- terest-chaining love story, gained for the play, upon th2 occasion of its original production, a unanimously favorable ver- dict, which was afterwards indorsed wherever it was seen. Mr. Pascoe with his youth, handsome face and ability has achieved a decided success in the part in other stock compa- nies and will doubtless do so here. The new leading man will by no means, however, be the only member of the Impe- rial company who will be given opportun!- ties to shine in “‘Friends."' Mr. Jennings, in the role of the opium fiend; Mr. Bowles, as the young musician, between whom and the young poet, Mr. Pascoe’s part, exist the ties that give the play its name, should al- most dispute the honors with the former “Friends” will also mark the return to the cast of Miss Grayce Scott, who has been absent from the roster during the past two weeks.

A. COOK, M. D.) If I were called upon to designate manhood’s most destructive enemy I would, withe out hesitation, name The Big Four Diseases—Nervo-Sexi@] Debility, Syphilitic Blood Poison, Urethal Stricture, Scrotal Varicocele, and their reflex complications. They are indeed a direful quartet. They have, without doubt, done more to unman men than all other ills combined. While they seldom kill outright, they furnish the foundation for other diseases that are fatal. They completely unnerve the physical and mental as well as the sexual man, and absolutely unfit him for the duties and pleasures of both business and social life. ; : What you want to know, however, is not only how bad your trouble is, but how te get rid of it. That is the question that mostt concerns you. You are down and want te get up. Afflicted men, my whole professional life, not now very short and certainly never Inactive, has been one continuous effort to free my fellow-men from the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex. I treat nothing else. In my long years of persistent study, diligent research and scientific investigation I have discovered and developed various forms of treatment for male maladies which make their cure an unqualified and absolute certainty. This claim is no idle boast. Its truth is supported by over 9000 men, among them some of the best citizens of St. Louis and vicinity, who have dur- ing the past year been restored by me to health and hope and happy contentment. What I have done for them I can do for you. My counsel is free, and my cure, if you decide to take it, is reasonable and not more than you are willing to pay. I will do by you as I would want you to do by me {f our cases were reversed. ® : Nervo-Sexual Debility. It is sad to contemplate the unfortunate condition of so many men of our day and generation. At 30 they feel 50; at 40 they feel 60; and at 50 or 60, when they should be in the very prime of life, they are almost ready for the grave. The fire of youth has gone out, the fountain of vitality is exhausted. Premature old age! No matter what brought it on, the one thing for you to do is to get back the vim, the vigor and the vivacity of youth. Don't lose your grip on life. There are yet many happy, golden years for you if . you only get help. I can and will not only help you, but cure you to stay cured. Cur ing diseases and weaknesses of the sexual and urinary system has been my exclusive business for the past twenty-three years, during which time I have lifted up enough fallen men to make an army. My treatment will restore to you what you have lost— your precious manhood. It stops all unnatural discharges and drains of vigor, and gives perfect and permanent power to the sexual organs. It makes the blood pure and rich, the complexion clear, the eyes bright, the flesh firm, the muscles solid and the nerves strong and steady. It clears up the clouded brain, brightens the intellect and dis- pels ail despondency. In short, my treatment for weak men builds up the physical and mental as well as a sexual man, and prepares him anew for the duties and pleasures of both married and single life Specific Blood Poison. Like leprosy of old, Specific Blood Polson was for ages sup to Be incurable, This ancient idea is not yet altogether extinct. It still exists in the minds of many ol@ fogy physicians, who continue to salivate their patients with potash, mercury and other }dangerous mineral mixtures, which, instead of forcing the disease out of the system, drives it deeper in, where it lies dormant for a time and then breaks out again in the form of some frightful skin, blood or bone disease. I cure Specific Blood Poison to stay cured forever. I challenge the medical world for a case in any stage, hereditary or con- tracted, that I cannot positively cure, never to return, in from sixty to ninety days. My treatment for this disease is indorsed by the best physicians of America and Europe. It is purely vegetable in composition and perfectly harmless in effect. More than 38600 men, many of whom had tried hot springs and numerous specific remedies in vain, have been completely and forever cured by me during the past year. Physicians baffied by stubborn cases are cordially invited to consult me by special appointment. Urethal Stricture. My new and original system of treatment for Urethral Stricture cures the disease without cutting or dilating, thus avoiding the horrors of surgery. It is the only treat- ment that should ever be used, and the only one recommended by the multitude of men who have recently been cured by it. It acts immediately and directly upon the Stricture, dissolving it completely and dislodging all diseased tissue, which comes away in strips or shredlike fiber, allaying all irritation and inflammation, and leaving the urethral canal entirely free from obstruction and in a sound and healthful condition. Scrotal Varicocele. Scrotal Varicocele has been described as a creeping disease. It silently steals upon its victim like a thief at night, and before he is really aware of its presence great an@ damaging inroads are made on his constitution. The veins surrounding the sper matic cord become enlarged and engorged with impure blood and diseased tissue. At times this condition may be accémpanied with a dull, heavy, dragging pain in the small |of the back, extending down into the parts, low spirits, weakness of the body and train, | nervous debility, partial or complete loss of the sexual power, and not infrequently de- cline of the general health. All these disagreeable symptoms soon disappear completely and forever under my Varicocele cure, which is safe, painless and bloodless, and there- fore free from surgery in any form. Every clot of stagnant blood and every fiber of dis. eased tissue are driven from the affected parts, normal circulation is re-established throughout the pelvic region, the weakened organs become strong again and sturdy manhood is restored. ; Home Treatment. I prefer that each patientesiring my cure pay me at least one personal vents, but if you cannot conveniently do this write me in your own language a plain and full state ment of your symptoms.’ Many cases can be cured by my original sys of spondence, which is so nearly perfect in its operations that satisfactory results are | Cooke neoured.

NTID A TCH DECEMBER 9, CHARACTER OF THE MARKET UN- CHANGED. _ THE PRICES WERE SLUGGISH Weak Bank Statement Had Been Dis- covered—Continued Interior De- mand for Money Good Indication. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—There was very lit- tle active trading in stocks today and the character of the market remained about the same as for several days past. , Tennessee Coal and some of the other in- dustrials which have been actually de- pressed during the week, continued feverish and unsettle Tennessee Coal fel} an ex- treme 38% and recovered 2 points/in sym- pathy with late general streng steel group. Federal Steel led the was helped by talk of, dividend tion and of the ——— ent by a of the disputed po steel combinations. ; The movement of prices in the general list was sluggish throughout. The weak bank statement had been so accurately forecasted that it had little influence on the trading. If anything, prices were a little better after the statement on taking lly and of the stribu- reement nts between the great of bear profits, and in sympathy with the sharp rally in the steel stocks, hyt there is no change in the opinion that the cutting in two of the small surplus reserves at ths’ riod is a serious phase of the outlook rom a speculative standpoint. , The continued interior demand for money is regarded as a striking evidence of busi- ness activity and prosperity. However, it will interfere just as effectually with the purpose of persons who are holding stocks on margin with borrowed money. The reported purpose of the treasury de- ght to anticipate the payment of over ,000,000 of January government’s interest did not relieve sentiment to any extent as experience shows that this manner of relief is cumbersome and slow in making funds available to the open money market. Even in the stringent money market of last fall, holders of government bonds were slow to collect the interest offered by the government in advance of coming due. The coming yegfly settlements, for which prep- aration has already commenced, involve the disbursement of a larger sum of money than ever before in the history of the coun- ST. LOUIS SECURITIES.

The causes of the assignmeut are given by Mr. Verity and Morton Jourd- an, former assistant attorney general of Missouri, who is the association's attorney. Mr. Verity said to the Tost-Dispatch: “This action was precipitated py the dc- cision of sixteen or eighteen suits against us this week in the Circuit Court at Brook- field, Linn County. These suits aggregate $4000, and represent that much actual money loss te the company. More than fifty simi- lar suits are pending against us and are sure to be decided in the same way. In order to forestall this result it was consid- ered best to make an assignment, thus cal!- ing a hault on this litigation and chrowing the entire business of the association into court, so that ts affairs can be Wound up, permitting it to go out of business. “This association was organized eight years and a half ago at Hannibal, Mo. ‘i‘he offices were moved to St. “we two years #60 The president is W.

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 8.—Marvin | Kuhns, who escaped from the Columbus ESTATE. | Penitentiary last wek, is at the residence of his brother, Joseph, in Noble County, a 'few miles north of this city. Moreover he. “Under a law which became effective Aug. 21, 1895, all building and loan associations in Missouri were exempted from the law against usury and were permitted to loan money at a higher rate of interest than the legal rate of 8 per cent. However, when it came to a test—not only with this com- pany, but with others—the courts held to the contrary and every suit which has — brought by borrowers against build- ing and loan associations has been decided adversely to them. The courts held that this excess interest should be refunded to borrowers in the form of principal and that the borrowers could collect interest on this principal. Under this ruling the many suits filed against us proved ruinous and in self- defense we were compelled to make an as- signment. Under this arrangement the non- borrowing stockholders will come out whole, I believe. The borrowing. stock- holders, it is evident, are more than se- cure.._All they have to do is to turn in their stock certificates and collect their face value. eBsides that they have the advan- tage already described.’ Mr. Jourdan said to the Post-Dispatch: “This assignment is simply a matter of protecting the non-borrowing stockholder against the borrowing.members. The many suits brought against the company, with those already decided against it, piled up expenses at a ruinous rate and made self- defense imperative. Under the™-recent de- cisions the borrowing stockholders had all the advantage. “Under this system withdrawals became frequent. Any stockholder who is dissatis- fled has the right, after giving 30 days’ no- tice, to present his certificate of Stock and demand payment. Withdrawals became so numerous that the association is at leagt nine months behind in that matter alone. The assignment made today will serve to stop litigation against the concern and give it an opportunity to settle its affairs and go out of business. This will be done. “The $100,000 mentioned in the assign- ment papers represents the cash, red! es- ‘ tate and securities controlled by the asso- ciation.”’ LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS. Knocked Down and Fatally Crushed by a Page Avenue Car at Twen- ty-first and Washing- ton Avenue. Robert M. E. Ceoper, whose wife and three children reside at Springfield, Mo.,was struck by a Page avenue car at Twenty- | first street and Washington avenue last | night at 5:30 o’clock and died two hours | later at the City Hospital from concus- sion of the brain. The dead man’s identity was established | at the City Hospital by a number of let- ters and papers tied in a bundle, which he carried when the car struck him. He was rendered unconscious by his contact with the car and did net. speak after being struck by*®car No. 4 of the Page avenue line, in charge of Motorman O. H. Sears and Conductor William H. Harding. But few persons witnessed the accident and no policeman was near when it 0oc- curred. Just how it happened even .the motorman was unable to tell. He declares that he did not see Cooper until it was too late to stop his car, which was going east at the usual speed. Ambulance Driver Norman was on the | way to the dispensary in his ambulance | from the stables. H¢ saw a.crowd around | the car and stopped. He ascertained the) names of the motorman and conductor of | the car and bystandef's assisted him to lift | the injured man intg the ambulance. A) hurried trip to the hospital was made, Upon | the arrival of the patient there Dr. Nietert, | superintendent, stated that the injuries | would prove fatal. Cooper dled on the op- erating table soon after. } will be unmolested, so far as the local offi- cers are concerned, for they know that he could scarcely be taken without a fight and the reward offered by the Ohio officials is too small to induce anyone to run the risk of death. Last Wednesday Elmer Gandy, who was a schoolmate of Kuhn’s saw him at Arco- la. Kuhns was trading a fagged-out horse to a farmer and gave $12 to boot and drove off with a fresh animal. The sheriff of this county was there next day and the farmer ‘had to give up the horse, which had been |' stolen from a man at Preble near rs Ohlo state line. Today Bert Hines of Albion was in the eity and said Kuhns’ father had told sev- eral people in the town that ““Marve was at Joe’s house.”” On Thursday the father, Peter Kuhns, was called out to Joseph's place suddenly. He remained all day and all night and returned to his home in town on Friday. He has no hesitancy in telling his friends that his outlaw son was at the farm. Unless Ohio officers come after him Kuhns will not be troubled, as no effort will be made to capture him.

General Chairman Newman Explains the Calling Out of Telegraphers. WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 8.—General Chair- man J. A. Newman of the Santa Fe division of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, in- cludimg the entire Santa Fe system, issued the following order at 3:30 o’clock this after- noon, and a few minutes later he was in- fromed that 1300 operators over the entire system quit the key: To all Agents and Operators of the Santa Fe System: In accordance with the action of your general committee and the by-laws of this organization, on, this date you will strike, cease work, and therefater refuse to per- forthayy duty of any character what- ever unti Ithe said strike is declared off by me personally and notice of settlement of ail your grievances ac- knowledged. Said notice must be vouched for by our local representa- tives. You will turn your boards red for the protection of life and proper- ty, and leave them in that position permanently. Carefully protect all company pronerty in your care or reduction in wages at 19 other stations. To avoid the strike the committee agreed to accept Santa Fe rules, amended by the pro- viding for eight consecutive hours’ rest in each 24, excepting in cases of emergency. The clause depriving men of a hearing when discharged for insubordination was also to be eliminated. Another demand made was that there was not to be any re- duction in wages at any of the stations for the present. “We will stand by the men of the Gulf and fight this battle to a finish.”’ All =e Santa Fe trains are said to be tied up In this division, between Newton and Purcell.

THE ELECTION FURNISHES FUN Many Men Prominent in Many Walks of Life Were Present as Guests of the Newspaper Men. APPEAR BEFORE COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The Gridiron Club gave its December dinner tonight at the Arlington Hotel, and a large number of distinguished guests were present. The campaign that closed a month ago was re- called in a number of skits, in which the members of the club burlesqued the inci- dents of that canvass. P Each guest found a ‘full dinner pail’ at his place which contained the menu. Then there was a national golf tournament be- tween McKinley and Bryan, which McKin- ley won handsomely. ‘There was a presen- tation of campaign relics to the Gridiron MRS. INGALLS OF ST. LOUIS A PROMINENT SPEAKER. Senators Kept Out of the Way as Much as Possible—Chaplain Miller Ad- vocates the Canteen in the Philippines. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Mrs. M. E. In- galls of St. Louis spoke in favor of the anti-canteen provision of the army bill be- fore the: Senate committee on foreign af- | fairs today. She said she knew of many soldier boys who had contracted the fiquor habit at the canteen. Miss Kearney of -Mississippi said she had been informed that Gen. Eagan had been a notable ex- ception among general army officers in favoring the canteeh. Mrs. Allison, W. C. T. U., superintendent of legislation, said that official statistics show that the liquor traffic is literally following the American Tiag in the tropics. *She presented figures to show that the liquor exportations from the United States to Cuba for the first five months of 1599 had reached $472,200 as aguinst $10,79 for the entire year of 1899. in the Phi:ippines and Porto Rico there had been a corresponding increase. Speaking for the advocates of the meas- ure Rev. W.. F. his awn observations of the ‘operation of the canteen at Newport News after the | close of the Cuban war. He.said he had found it as low as the lowest saloon and _that a regular orgie was in progress the day he was there, the result being that most of the soldiers at the post deserted that night. He quoted Gen. Sternberg as paying that the canteen causes many sol- diers to contract the drink habit and Gen. Miles as opposed to the use of intoxicants by the soldiers in the tropics. Many Senators had heard of the exhibition of buncombe in the House a day or two ago when the canteen provision was taken out of the army reorganization bill, because the galleries were full of women wearing white ribbon badges, and they knew the Gelegates would be after them today. The senators dodged. Delegates and visitors to the convention simply swarmed through the Senate wing of the capital. The Senate committee on military affairs had granted them a hear- ing, and they made the most of it. The room would hold but a small portion of those who came, and the remainder devoted themselves to missionary work. The resto- ration of the canteen bill by the Senate cut!a- mittee is understood to be certain. - At the conclusion of the hearing the ladies who had not been successful in entering the committee room took a turn at each senator. as he emerged. Mr. Pettus, who is not only a humorist, but a chivalrous gen- tleman of the old school, made no effort to escape. He listened patiently while the other senators dodged again. Chaplain Miller, who served with the army in the Philippines, appeared as a de- fender of the canteen. Sendtor Burrows asked him if he would like for his own son to enter the army and be subjected to the demoralizing influences of the canteen. The chaplain said ‘Yes. = ing he would choose the lesser of twe evile. When asked if he would establish estab- lish a canteen in connection with a mission he said ‘‘No. Chaplain Miller argued that the canteen provided entertainment for the soldiers without compelling them to patronize more obnoxious resorts, and for that reason it should be maintained. | MANLEY OFFERED A JOB.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The discussion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty promises to be more extended than was anticipated. be taken next Thursday that by no means implies an approaching vote on the treaty itself. The delay in ratifying the treaty will not come alone from those who oppose it as being a surrender oi rights to Great Britain, but from senators who for rea- sons antagonize the construction of a canal. All those senators who are in any way a5- +sociated with the great transcontinental railroad lines, whose business would be seriously injured by the completion of the canal, hope to encompass its defeat through delaye There are said to be at least 15 sen- ators so connected. They know that patriotism is popular, but opposition to the canal is not. Hence, the fight must be made against the treaty and not the Dill. Injunction of Secrecy Removed.

Leahy and Miss Steer | Wed at St. Charles, AIDED BY THE ORTHWEINS BRIDE AND GROOM GONE ON A TOUR OF THE EAST. Wedding Entirely Unexpected and the Elopement Characterized by In- teresting and Most Roman- tic Features. Max Orthwein and his pretty wife, hav- ing tasted the sweets of happy marriage, believe in aiding their friends to the same felicitious state, and with this desire up- permost, Friday they engineered as pictur- esque an elopement as ever joined two hearts. They took John S. Leahy, the young lawyer and orator, and Miss Julia Steer, 4365 Lindell boulevard, on a coaching trip, the object of which was Mexico, Mo., and when the party reached St. Charles, Mr. Leahy and Miss Steer lost no time in get- ting married. Mr. Orthwein and his coaching party-pro- ceeded on their coaching way, while Mr. and Mrs. Leahy retugned to St. Louis and took a train for the East. They had no- tified their friends and relatives in St. Louis and paternal forgiveness has been extended them, and they will be received with open arms when they return to Bt. ouis. Few persons knew that Mr. Leahy and Miss Steer were engaged. Her parents were ignorant of the state of affairs, so that the announcement of the wedding at St. Charles, replete as it is with interesting sidelights and originality, gave their friends a genuine sprprise. ' Mr. and Mrs. Max: Orthwein and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Orthwein planned a coach- ing tour to Mexico. It was decided to make the trip a cover for a romantic elopement. Miss Ella Homes, sister of Mrs. Max Orthwein, and Edward Hardy were the other members of the party. All except Miss Steer started on the coach early Friday morning. At King's hghway Mr. Leahy left the coach and returned to Hardy’s stable, Tay- lor and Delmar avenues. He ordered a car- riage, and summoned Miss Steer by tele- They were driven out the St. Charles rock road, arriving at St. Charles a few minutes after the coaching party. Late in the afternoon Mr. Leahy and Miss Steer, accompanied by the party, went to the county clerk’s office and secured the license. At 6 o’clock they went to the / parochial residence attached to the Church 'of St. Charles Borromeo, where, after Mr. i to | House, where they had supper. | | | early Leahy had shown Father Lagae that he had a dispensation from Archbishop Kain marry outside his parish, they were married.

The Colombian government it- self cannot give to the United States the right of ownership without the consent of the Panama company, but this consent, as will be seen above, the company promised in advance. The Hepburn bill relating to the Nica- ragua Canal antagonizes the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty, for it provides for fortifying the canal. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty may be ratified this winter. It is certainly in- cumbent upon the administration to do its utmost in behalf of its convention, for Vice- President-elect Roosevelt is strongly op- osed to it, and if he continues in this rame of mind he will probably have suf- ficient influence in the new Senate to se- cure its defeat or put it in one of the pigeon-holes of the executive clerk's office. To sum up the case to be argued is this: Whether the government should build a cenal in Nicaragua at a cost of $200,000,000, or simply control one at Panama without any outlay of money. I refrain from any attempt to discuss the relative physical merits of the two routes or their engineering problems. These ques- tions are necessarily involved, but both routes are now declared feasible from an engineering point of view. I have merely ointed out why the Walker commission as not been able to confine Itself to the consideration of the Nicaragua route alon and why Congress is likely to pause a talk in the presence of such a problem as is presented to it by the unvelling of y ¥ LOOMIS A which | to negotiation | lariat, which he had kept as a souvenir. i |; counterpasses, kitchen, suddenly quar- employed in the reled and cut each knives. ‘Then, made furious by the blood, they ran amuck, armed with the terrible ing several inmates.

Big Brewer Wants the Business Men te Get Together and Help Give the City a Good Government. St. Louls is notorious all over Europe for the condemnable condition of her streets and the carelessness with which her affairs are administered. “Our city has a bad name all over the world. “It is charged that we have muddy water to drink, bad streets to walk and ride on, and no lights to keep us from falling in the bad spots if we venture out at night.” Adolphus Busch, head of the Anheuser- Busch brewery, spoke thus to the Post-Dispatch soon after his return from Europe, where he recently spent six months, “While I was in Europe,” said Mr. Buseh, “I paid some little attention to the subject of municipal government. I found that in cities of anything like the size of St. Louls the municipal government is as good as it is possible for the best and most intelli- gent men of the community to make it. here, it is an honor for a man to to the city council. Only men of known and prove prokity have such ah office con- ferred on them, and the council is com- posed of retired merchants and men who can afford to serve t without compensation. There is no wast- ing of the public funds, and no stealing. People take office because it is honorable, not because it may prove profitable. “I don't care to discuss the methods ‘that obtain among St Louis politicians. 1 will say, however, that what St. Louis needs is an excellent city administration—and whea I say excellent I mean one that excels an that we have ever had, and one that wi be worthy of a city that aspires to be ru- garded as the greatest. world’s fair city in the world.

WE CURE VARICOCELE #2" AND LOST MANHOOD IN 30 TO 90 Days. Our entire professional career has been devoted to the study and t Diseases, to the building up and curing of Weak, broken down ‘men, and over 60s cared patients will gladly testify to our skill, honesty and success in the practice of our spe- clalty. We especially wish to interest patients who have been unsuccessful in their search for a cure; men who realize the seriousness of their condition and will appreciate successful, scientific treatment and a permanent cure. Every patient receives our per- sonal attention, our very best services, and when you place yourself in our care you may rest assured that you will receive the very best treatment obtainable, and that you will be cured in the shortest time possible. PAINLESSLY AND VARICOCELE GURE PERMANENTLY. Varicocele is man’s most prevalent and insidious disease; it is a cond ged and broken-down veins of the left scrotum; feels like a bunch of earth mone Ty These is a faulty circulation of blood to the vital organs, the glands become softened and wasted from lack of proper nutrition; the whole system is poisoned with stagnant, clotted blood You become nervous, despondent and irritable, your memory fails, your old-time energy is lacking, you cannot concentrate your mind on your work, you grow weaker and weak of Viteety and ul i become but k wreck of your former self. It make no difference wha e cause—be njury, overwork or excesses—you have the disease, very important that you be cured without delay. ’ ° = 29 G MAN, are you afflicted with Varicocele? You surely must realize that it is very essential to your future health, happiness and success that you be cured of this dread disease at once. We are thoroughly familiar with every symptom of this condi- tion, and knowing as we do the awful results of neglect, our sympathies are enlisted with every sufferer from the disease. THR AWAY YOUR SUSPFNSORY-—Suspensories, Medicines, Electric Belts, etc., will never cure this disease. They may give you temporary relief, but what you desire is a safe OHEMIC M cure. OUR ELFCTRO-CHEMIC METHOD of treatment is your refuge; it is the only positive cure for Varicocele, outside a dangerous, wide-open surgical operation. Our treatment is vagteion J painless and devoid of danger. It has all the advantages to be de- rived from the surgical operation, but none of the many disadvantages. Under our treat- ment the stagnant blood is forced from the dilated veins, all soreness and pain disap- pear, the veins resume their normal size and a healthy circulation of pure blood to the parte is established; you are strengthened in every way—Physicaily, Mentally and Sex- ually. Why not take preventive measures before it is too late? If your typewriter is broken, you have it repaired immediatély. Why not be as considerate of your own person?

(FLASHLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS BY THE POST-DISPATCH STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER.) Ziegenhein, F. W. C. Meier. wr — ll A HE coon-hunting party led by Fred T Ziegenhein, son and secretary of the mayor of St. Louis, which included Judge George B. Sidener, Commissioner of Supplies F. W. C. Meler, Walker Powell, former president of the Order of Railway Telegraphers; Dr. A. C. Tarr, Bookmaker Frank Carr and John Fontanna, the ijquor dealer, met with many funny incidents in its trip through the woods and about Hema- tite, Mo. Frank Carr, who is always ready and anxious to spring a joke of some kind or other on a friend while hunting, was caught up at his own game before the coon hunt was an hour old. On the road from the hotel to the spot where the natives with the hounds were in waiting, Fontanna interested the party with a story about the value of the hair from a coon’s tail in the event of sick- ness, especially diphtheria. He said he knew of a physician who always used this hair in making pills for his patients who were ill with diphtheria. Carr listened attentively, but said noth- ing. When the first coon was captured it was turned over to the natives, who skinned it. Carr waited about the men and when the opportunity presented itself his sharp knife’ was brough’ into play and the tei) severed from the hide. Nobody appeared to notice it, but after Cac. retired at the Papin Hotel his pockets were searched and it was found that he had shaved the hair from the tail and it was wrapped up carefully in a page of the Post-Dispatch. The laugh was on him and he bought the drinks and cigars for the crowd on promise that the affair would be kept quiet. The hunters kept their word, but the story leaked out from another source, Judge Sidener Tasted the Cat. Returning from the hunt the party was divided at a fork in the main road. How- ever, both roads led to town. ,In one party was Dr. Tarr, Fred Ziegenheim Frank Carr and the natives. On the outskirts of the town the hounds were heard baying. The party followed and found them ans around a medium-sized tree in what after- wards turned out to be a backyard of a farmhouse. Dr. Tarr went to work with the ax and in a few minutes the tree dropped. There was a. wild scuffile, mucn dust and more noise where the dogs had gathered. Although four coons, seven possums and numerous rabbits had been captured during the night no such noise was heard. Nothing could be seen on account of the dust. Fnally every- thing was quiet and then Carr went to pick up his game and found a good-sized cat. It caused a goed laugh, but Frank did not drop his game. He decided that it should be cooked and served for breakfast. He let in a native on the joke and at the latter’s hot fire this section of the party remained until ‘‘Tabby’’ looked like good eating. The native was instructed to send it over to the hotel and to tell the other members of the party that it was one of the coons that had been ‘‘treed.’’ When it ap- red on the table it looked very inviting. t had been cut up so at it could not be easily recognized. Ziegerhein did the carv- ing. He served Judge Sidener with a large piece. The judge went at it with a ven- geance and sunk his teeth deep. The joke was too — to keep longer and then all hands had a good laugh at the judge's ex- pense. Dr. Tarr is a great egg eater. Fresh eggs are hard to get in the city, so he thought he would take some home from Hematite. He found a native who had eggs to sell and the physician ordered a basket full. A chip basket was filled to the brim with on deer and such big game only. Ducks, geese and smaller game he feels are nut worthy of his efforts. The result is usually that he comes home empty-handed. Messrs. Berg. Lautermilch and Soehngen hunted only small game. They spent no time trailing deer. Deer tracks, they say, were as thick as chicken tracks in a barn- yard, but that didn't disturb them a Dit. They just kept an eye out for ducks and the result was that they shipped them home by the dozen. Had a deer happened along they would have taken a shot, of course. &+—_o—_ 0 —o—__4 44-0 “ They also fished for bass in the Little river and were successful in that, too, Mr. Soehngen especially proving himself by his ‘Jarge catch a piscatorial expert. Got Lost in a Swamp. When they felt like neither hunting ducks nor fishing, they took long tramps through the cypress swamps with only a compass for a guide. Once they tramped so far in trying to find a locally famous point known as “Stumpy Opening,’ that they lost their way in a maze of swollen streams and wandered for hours into the night before they ran onto another camp of sportsmen and found a guide home. Then they dis- covered that they had really passed within a quarter of a mile of their own camp sev- éral times in their wanderings without knowing it. Built Their Own Boats. In reaching their camping ground, Messrs. Berg, Lautermilch and Soenghen floated a considerable distance down the Little river in boats of their own construction.

In the past 15 years since he has been shooting over the traps Dr. Parrish has be- come widely known among. sportsmen throughout the country. Twelve years ago he was a member of the team of 10 from St. Louis that shot a series of threc matches with a team representing Chicago. St. Louis won the first match very easily, but lost the next two after hard struggles. Among the other members of this team were John W. Gates, the wire king; Sol Edgars, H. Clay Pierce, W. E.

Interest in baseball circles is now center- ed upon the annual meeting of the mag- nates of the National League and American Association of Baseball Clubs, which wii! take place at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New.

It is not gen- erally known that Donovan will, if offered the management, accept it only if certain conditions are complied with. What these conditions are it is not hard to quess. One is that he have full and absolute control of the players and he shall run che team as he sees fit. Rowdyism will not be tole- rated by him and he will insist that the players act Jike gentlemen on and oif the field. Profanity of any sort coming irom any of the players while on the field would be productive of a heavy fine enough to convince the offender that repetition would not be advisable. That Donovan is anxious to become man- ager of the Cardinals is not det'nitely known. He has not sought the position, at least not openly, and while he has stated on several occasions that he would consider it an honor to be at the head of the St. Louis club. he has never by word or deed implied that he was seeking the position. Donovan's selection as manager would be popular with the St. Louis fans. He was one of the few men who did his utmost to bring success to the Cardinals last season, and for this. coupled wth his gentlemanly demeanor on and off the diamond, he became | a great favorite with the local public. He has a host of pérsonal friends in St. Louls, | the mighty Terry McGovern can go out of his class and continue his winning streak. Terry has a hard job on his hands this a So has Joe Gans, for that matter. As both have hard tasks it is reasonable to Suppose that it will be a good fight. The chances are so bright for a good bout that sports will journey from St. Louls, Cincinnati, Cleveland and even the eastern cities to attend. St. Louis will send a large delegation. The conditions are such that the fight _has to be the real thing. There is no chance never who would rejoice at his appointment as | on a visit to the While manager of the club. told Boston last week Donovan pleased With the treatment he had ceived at the hands of the St. Louis public, the prospect of his playing here news- | papers of that city that he was more than | reo | for a draw and on this account the fight- ~ will be fast from the outset to the end. 40U was doing when he drew up the articles of agreement.

It is especially so when one of the managers has a champion - match and the other a prospective cham- pion. When the manager of Gans signed the ar- ticles he felt confident that his man would have a big pull in the weights. He figured that McGovern could not go into the ring weighing more than 13 pounds.

In fact McGovern is all that Gans is jin a fighting way except that he is not so heavy. Many believe that he can hit just as hard as the negro. Whether he can or not;matters little for it is a a well known fact that he can hit hard enough to put any man near his size to sleep. That Terry has a stiff punch has been proven on many occasions. He has laid numerous scrappers at his feet. Terry is ambitious. By licking Gans he would be the acknowledged lightweight champion of the world. That is if he put the negro to sleep. Of course if he,got the de- cision by remaining away from Gans it woull not add much to his glory and the Walker Powell, Frank Carr, | if he could connect with one of his strong punches and lay the black man on the floor before the sixth round was ended he would have a clear claim to the title.

Men with ring titles are not given to doing even this, so for this reason alone McGovern will mix with the got As Terry is ambitious and would like to register a wallop that would secure for him the purse and the title and as will have to go in and deliver a knockout blow in order to have a position at the paying-off station it is bound to be a fast and furious fight. * ¢ es 8 Now that the gridiron warrior has lala away his armor and taken up his books again we will hear no more of him for an- other year.

St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Lindell and Spring avenues, was damaged by fire to the extent of $6000 last evening about 6 o'clock, The fire appears to have started in the basement, near the furnace, and ran up to the ceiling which is handsomely frescoed. The windows of the church were among ithe handsomest in the city, and it is feared that they are all ruined. Rey.

A BIG CROWD WAS PRESENT Feature Was the Art Exhibit, but There Were Many More Attrac- tions, Among Them Girls. Saturday was Turners’ night at Alten- heim Bazar. A large attendance character ized the occasion and testified to its sym- pathy with the charitable nature of the movement by purchasing: freely of the com- modities offered for sale. The aisles be- tween the booths were thronged with en- thusiastic buyers, while the Swiss village on the ground floor had a large business in gastronomical dainties to attend to. Those in a position to know, say it was the best evening of the week as far as the number of people in attendance is con- cerned. Among those who promenaded, and Inci- dentally contributed to the advancement of the good cause, were: The Misses Dierkes, Mr. J. Schlange, Mr. F. N. Judson, Mrs. Tony Faust, Mrs. Limberg, Mrs. Ziegen- hein, Mr. F. 8S. Shreiber, Mr. stein, Mr. and Mrs Stracke, Mr. Reuss, Mr. and Mrs Charles Ehlermann, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Fuchs, Mr. and Mrs. Herthel and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Miller. The attraction of the evening. aside from the many daintily attired vendors of com- modities, was the art exhibit. The gallery the complimentary comments on the dis- play were many. The picture of the Ma- donna and child occupieti the first place ii the popular appreciation, and there were many inquiries as to the possibility of se- curing reproductions of that work of,.art. The bazar will continue unti! Tuesday evening, when the affair will be closed with an informal dance.

They Entered the Office of the Kansas City Company, Took the Cash and Put the Cashier in the Vault. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 8.—Three masked bandits held up and robbed the superin- tendent and cashier of Peet Bros.’ ail mill in Armourdale at 6:30 o’clock this evening and secured $800 In cash. The hold- up was one of the boldest that has ever taken place in the neighborhood of Kansas City. It was accomplished during business hours, and at a time when mote than a thousand ren were at work in the mill, only a *éw feet away from where the cashier aad superintendent were making up their pay Vist to pay off the employes. The job Was done expeditiously, though, and the ro vbers had secured their booty and fled before the men in the mill knew what had happened. Clifford A. Adams, the cashier at the mill, and Supt. W. J. Schenck were at work in the office, the building which ad- joins the mill, when Mr. Schenck looked up and saw a tall man, standing outside the railing, and pointing a large revolver at him. he man was masked, and the re- volver was close to Mr. Schenck’s face, when the robber said: ‘‘Put ’em up. outside,’’ @xclaimed the robber, and quick about it.’’ Mr. Schenck didn’t move and the robber thrust the weapon closer to his face. Just then two other masked men, one tall and one short, made their appear- ance. One had a revolver and he ran be- hind the railing and thurst it in Mr. Ad- am’s face. The other robber produced a bag and began stuffing the money and envelopes into it. When this had been done, Adams and Schenck were ordered into the vault, the door of which stogd open. When they were in, the robbers tried to shut the door, but it was fastened back in some way and they could not do it. They told Schenck and Adams not to move and they ran out of the door. As the robbers ran, one of them fired a shot. The alarm was quickly spread to the mill, and the hands poured out and began searching the heighborhood, but no trace ‘*be of the bandits could be found.

A ship was carried from Galveston. 32. miles down to San Luis Pass. How, then, are all the bodies to be found, when they are scattered over many hundred square miles of scarce habited land? The fu- neral pyres have gone out. People are buried now just where they are found: Nothing is more fully illustrative of the extent of the Galveston flood than to say that no one in Galveston knows how many people were lost. The Sunday Post-Dispatch pyt this question to more than 20 conservative men in the city and their estimates ranged from 6000 to 10,000. None of them thought less than 6000 people died in the city alone; some of them thought as many as 8000 city people were lost. They are all agreed that fully 2000 peo- ple were lost down the island and along the mainland shore, Galveston itself would like to know just how many people were destroyed and every possible means of deterimina- tion has been employed. The city d’rec- tory, the tax books, the church, society rolls have all been used and of relatives, friends and neighbors miss- ing after the storm. Through these several channe!s have come the names of 4462 persons known to be dead. Think of it? More than 4000 actual names of the dead in a sea- port where thousands of people were constantly coming and going; where sea- men and wharf workers and all the tran- sients of a seaport, some bringing their families for a week or a month, made the population greater in the cotton ship- ping months of the fal! than at all other times of the year; where foreigners, by reason of the sea, were more numerous than in any other city in Texas—lItalians and Austrians and many Greeks and, more than all others, many thousands of negroes! Think of collecting more than 4000 names of lost citizens in a city like this, where thousands of people were without place in any directory or any affiliation in church or lodge, and were little known to each other! Galveston people are not parading all they know about the loss of life. It could not be expected that they would. Yet they are not withholding any part of the truth from those who come to inquire. They do not attempt to hide the fact that the enrollment in the public schools is now 2000 less than it was before the storm and that the vote in the city has fallen off 1500, despite the general ob- servance that the men drowned were greatly outnumbered by the women and children. The whole truth is that the estimate of 6000 dead in Galveston alone _ is conservative for the sake of Gafeestan; Edwin L. Ketchum, who was chief of police at the time of the hurricane, and John W. Hopkins, the superintendent of public schools, say 8000 for Galveston alone is not quite the who‘e truth. These are men who should know. The people of the city are not appalled by the almost datly discovery that the loss of life is greater than they thought. They have quit being appalled. Nothing surprises them. They have gone the full measure. of unbelief. and have ,found it all‘to no purpose, for everything. con- nected with the hurricane fairly sur- passes belief. ~Eight thotisand people lost in the city of Galveston alone does not sound nearly so big ww ine people of wharves in Gal- Ships had been overturned un- Small craft had been smashed and storm, veston wharf ts restered. under a storm, of the city now as 800 lost might have seemed to them the morning after the, If they are ever surprised at all it is to find someone alive after they have not seen him around for awhile.

There are five hundred of these tents on the crest of the beach where before the storm were 2500 pretty homes, streets, esplanades, sidewalks, shade trees and lawns. Today these tents sit on what, for all the evidences of former occupation, looks to be a great sand bar. The people in these canvas homes are not Gypsies. They never tented before. They are families and remnants of families, proud people and once well- to-do, who lost their homes, their furniture, everything in the storm and by necessity live in these tents. Some of them have been so proud they would not go to the committee for money sent for their relief and have only taken their share when it has been forced upon them. The close-buttoned flaps of the tents show what humiliation the lifg is to those with- in. The Gypsie throws his tent wide open, between caring and not caring whether one lives in a tent or a house. The Galveston tent: refugee: keeps his shut close as a shell.

In this stretch along the gulf 2500 homes were swept from the face of the earth *and every trace of their foundations, the avenues and esplanades, the shade trees and sidewalks, so completely obliterated that no proof exists on the site itself that more than 2000 homes were ever there. In this district the island is still nude as nature made it before Galveston was built. Occasionally there is a row of tents where the homeless are living until they can build a home, and here and there is a small frame house, built with relief money sent into the city. The tents are always closed. The people in them wete not always tenters. They had com- fortable home and pride and if their homes are gone their pride is still there in such measure that the occupants of the tents are only seen as they have need to come out. There will be no rapid recon- struction in this district. Not that the people are afraid to go back where the storm did its worst, but because nine- tenths of those who dwelt there by the sea are dead. They were the heaviest suf- ferers, these mechanics, clerks, tradesmen —these home-owners of the gulf front, where lands and rents were cheaper than back in the higher and safer parts of the City, On the émpty lots of the denuded dis- tricts mang negroes still poke around in the sand seeking valuables lost in the flood. The jewelry, money and pocket trinkets taken fr~m the bodies of the dead have all beer, enrned over to a custodian appointed by the county court and it is estimated these are worth about §$20,- 000. When honest persons. find them they are given to the custodian of such things, but dishonest persons get many that are never turned in.

There were 28,000 people in Galveston before the storm, according to the cen- sus of the present year. Hundreds of me- chanics have swarmed in to work on the reconstruction. Eight thousand people have been drowned. Possibly 4000 have fled.

Such instances are not infrequent in Galyes- ton. When it rains in Galveston now the water stands in pools where the currents eroded the streets. This is something new in Galveston. The island is of sand and the sand has always quickly absorbed the water, speedily drying the streets, The storm brought with it a peculiar mud. The knowing say this mud comes from far out in the bed of the gulf, However that may be it covers the sands of the streets and holds the water there for days after a rain. And this is not the only wise in which iy the configuration of the island has been changed by the storm.

John Sealy, one of the foremost citizens of the place, is the chairman of this com- mittee. The distribution of so much money has made the retail trade of the city the heaviest ever known. The city is filled with mechanics, and these are at work in every part of the city ex- cept the devastated district near the gulf.

WELDON: OF TEXAS ON NE MB Eee DSS SPSS Ee - An Illiterate Woman, Who Seems to Be Strangely Gifted, Lives in Luxury on Enormous Fees for Laying Hands.on the Sick in Gotham’s -Wealthiest Class of Society. NEW YORK, Dec. 4. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. ] N a luxury-laden apartment in the Hotel Plaza, inaccessible excépt through let- ters of introduction fram certain per- sons, there is now living a woman unknown to the public, illiterate, undistinguished for personal charm, but accepted by all fash- jonable New York as a magic healer of disease, Regular physicians are now practically abandoned by the members of the cult that has grown up about Mrs. Weldon of Texas. This clairvoyant and wonder worker, who can diagnose without a knowledge of anat- omy and cure without a knowledge of med- icine, receives daily scores of men and women from the most exclusive strong- holds of New York society, treats and, it is alleged, cures them by a mere “laying on of hands.’’ Preposterous nonsense? Mrs. Potter Palmer does not think so. Mrs. Palmer has recently brought from Chicago both Honore, and her brother, who is suffering from a disease supposed to be incurable, and procured for them special courses of treatment from the remarkable woman at the Hotel Plaza. Nor does Mr. Parke Godwin think so. By his advice his daughter, Miss Norah Godwin, has recently been treated by Mrs. Weldon. Another recent patient is Mrs. Tichener, Whose daughter is Lady Cunard of London. There is hardly one among Mrs. Weldon’s patients whozge name you wouldn't instantly recognize. Everyday persons with everyday com- plaints are not treated by Mrs. Weldon. In the first place, because she is the mest expensive healer In New York. In the sec- ond, because she is almost impossible of ap- proach. And, as she is more than satisfied with her present clientele, she makes no concessions which would enlarge it. There is, however, one infallible means of ap- proaching Mrs. Weldon without the talis- man of social prestige. This consists in a letter of introduction from Mrs. Francis H. Leggett, now the wife of the millionaire ‘grocer and formerly Mrs. William Sturgis of Chicago. The bond between Mrs. Leggett—rich, ac- complished, fashionable—and Mrs, Weldon — obscure, of the humblest origin and, by ther own confession, unable to read or write ~demands @ story in itself dnd a very re- markable story it would be! And an alto- gether rémarkabie party, as the Sunday Post-Dispatch told not long ago, is now bound for the Orient. Among them is Mme. Calve, the Bwami Vive Kananda and Miss Josephine McLeod... Miss McLeod, who is a sister of Mrs. Legget, is not only a warm friend of the § but has for some years indulged a str hg toward all forms of the occult, 1 h Two years ago, therefore, when Miss Mc- Leod, who happened to be in California, heard from her sister, Mra, Leggett, in New York, that the latter Wasa, suffering extremely from some affection of the leg, she offered what seemed to her a most practi¢al Suggestion. | She begwed Mrs. Leggett to . * ‘ a e a a Pm, ‘amehich shotild -.have. become thoroughly - “magnetized” by eohtaect with her person. Mrs, Leggett, half. amused, half tolerant of her sister's odd whims, wholly anxtous to grasp at any stiaw that might lead to recovery, sent a handkerchief to the un- known woman in California. The startling message that she received in reply was that a rusty needle was im- bedded in her leg and that no relief could be experienced until its removal. “Could you cure my sister if you should see her?’’ demanded Misg McLeod. Mrs. Weldon believed she could. Whereupon Mr. Leggett, who is the most devoted of elderly husbands, begged his beautiful young wife to go to California for the mysterious treatment, which the mysterious woman had promised to give her. And Mrs, Leggett went. . The astonishing sequel, as she herself re- lates it, was that the healer, after discov- ering that the troublesome needle had made its way from the leg to the back, extract- ed it by means which are as yet ynex- plained, but which were certainly effec- tual, since Mrs. Leggett was immediately relieved. Since that time Mrs. Leggett and Mrs. Weldon have been inseparable, and through Mrs. Leggett the clairvoyant has been in- troduced to the fashionable world of New York, Chicago and Paris. For at Paris Mrs. Weldon achieved a vogue that even’ her patroness considered marvelous. Americans, English, Russians, Austrians and even the foremost of Parisians swarmed to the house owned by Lady Cu- nard and rented for the summer by the Leggetts. It was a curious coterie~—Mrs, Leggett, aglow ‘with enthusiasm for her protege, Miss McLeod, a dreamy-young woman, steeped in mysticism; the Swami ‘!veka- panada, serious, impenetrable, with deep yellow robe, and a soul the other believed purified tq the goint of exceeding white- ness; and the prophetess and healer her- self, white garmented, radiant, confident— the uncultured Mrs. Weldon. Prince and Princess Demilloff “were con- stant guests at the Cunard mansion, The Parisians followed suit. Mrs. Potter Palmer and a circle of Chi- cagoans were among the healer’s most eager followers. Almost, any day you might find a string of titles there. Some- times you would hate found royalty, as in the case of King Leopold of Belgium. The young Duke of Manchester came there, and also the present Duchess, then Miss Helen Zimmerman. There were Miss Elsie de Wolfe and other distinguished Americans. And, finally, there avas Calve. In short, the Weldon cult was one of the sensations of exposition year. Miss Sadie Waters of St. Louis, but long a resident in Paris, sought treatment. She received it and was discharged as cured. Six weeks later, when the Wel- don coterie had forgotten all about her, Miss Waters died of tubereulosis. Paris commented, and the visits at the Cunard mansion became fewer. Mrs. Leggett brought Mrs. Weldon back to New York. Here, at the Plaza Hotel, a reporter of the Sunday Post-Dispatch succeeded In see- ing Mrs. Weldon. She is a middle-aged woman, rather stout, with a pleasant, rather heavy, face, appa- rently medium intelligence and a most pro- nounced southern accent. Her habitual dress is a long Mother Hubbard-like robe of undeniable dinginess. f Mrs. Weldon's greeting was thoroughly cordial. wonderful woman clairvoyant aX@ healer, .

Mrs. Weldon listened amliably after one professionally. keen glance which may have been for the purpose of estimating mal- ady, temperament and pocket book all at once, “What ails you’, honey?’ she began in her kindly indulgent way and seized both the reporter’s hands in hers, Perhaps it was “‘suggestion.” Perhaps the reporter really was being penetrated by a human X-ray. At all events a thrill that resembled a modified electric shock passed from one te the other pair of hands, This to compel the patient's close atten- tion, “Ah reckon yo’ ain't so awful sick,” she went on, placing both her hands on the re- porter’s shoulders and stroking the arms with a strongly caressing touch through which she seemed bent on probing all the secrets of her patient’s physical construc- tion. “Ah o'’n fix yo’ up, mos’ likely.” Then came the ‘“‘treatment.”’ If you are merely an inv@¢@:tigator—as the reporter was—you are obliged at least to confess that your interest has been stimu- lated, Mrs. Weldon meanwhilé drew out a great soft sponge. She holds this firmly in both her hands, with an expression of intense concentration. The time seemed appropriate for silence, so the reporter watched simply. Mrs. Weldon’s own explanation of this stage of the proceeding is that she is charg- ing the sponge with that divinely produced electricity—or whatever the mysterious in- visible fluid may be called—that affects the cure. “Sho’, honey, all dat trouble comes from yo" back'’—she continued, soothingly, placed the freshly charged sponge between the reporter's shoulders, and held it: there. A quick shock, a series of prickly sensa- tions, not disagreeable, and a curious sense of some suddenly acquiréd influence on the part of the large, loosely clad woman, with the smiling face. A few minutes sufficed. “All right, chile,"’ said the healer, cheer- fully. “Reckon you all ain’t got no more mis- ery.” And the reporter left Mrs. Weldon and the Hotel Plaza feeling that for so illumi- nating an experience $ is a small price to pay. The charge for consultation is %. This does not insure ‘‘treatment,”’ however. Mrs. Weldon may postpone treatment for a few months or she may decline altogether with- out giving any reason. in view of the fact that her position is not a public one, she reserves the right to discriminate between her patients. So anxious is she, in fact, to avoid pub- liéity, that she insists that her $5 consul- tation fee is merely a barrier to shut out the curious. “Folkg ain't so curious when it comes to payin’ $5," sh® sagely observes. Moreover, she has declared that if her work should become known through the. hewspapers she would leave New York. Meanwhile, her friends declare that a well-known New York physician, whose name they do not give, has offered Mrs. Weldon $10,000 a year simply to diagnose cases for him, so convinced has he become of her clairvoyant power. But Mrs. Weldon is hardly in a position to be tempted by such an offer.

HE man must be awake day and night who can keep track of the numerous enterprises that Francis H, Clergue is inaugurating Here at the Sault, and can follow the operations of the great eastern syndicate that has backed Mr. Clergue with its faith and millions. : Within the month he has brokéh ground for what will be one of the large steal rail and plate mills of the American continent, and designed to make a steel not rolled any- where else, a steel for rails and plates of the famous nickel alloy so noted as harder and more durable than any other. He has completed arrangements to dam the Michi- picoten river at its falls and to develop the 50,000 horse power there running to waste. They are but a few miles from the railway that Mr. Clergue has just pushed Into the wilderness, and near the iron mine he has opened since the commencement of the year, and will be utilized in part to provide power for these enterprises. Another new development is the opening of a gold mine on the Michipicoten, said | by outsiders to be remarkably rich. Still another November development is the pur- chase of steamers for @ line of passenger boats to run along the north shore of Lake Superior and into Georgian Bay. All these new developments are the out- come of the original idea, under which the water power of Lake Superior was first harnessed by this remarkable man, and many of them are forced upon him by the situ@tion as he has found it, one enterprise making another necessary in order to at- tein Profitable development and uliligation of facilities” uncovered. The corporation through which Mr. Clergue is doing all these things is the Al- gonia Development Co., into which a dozen proper or fifteen sub-companies are merged. This company has completed and qn serv- ice one of the largest water power ¥anals in Canada, giving it 20,000 horse power. On the Michigan side of the boundary it is completing a canal of 9,000 horse power that is the largest in the United States. the great canal that enormous commerce of the This power canal is being cut Once the little girl told, her mother that) ¢. ey, ang one-half miles, a channel 2 to she. saw her brother Ben coming home ee ud | ) fee » a , in a@ carriage drawn by a white horse.

Water Made to Turn the Machines of Great Enterprises at ,Sault most economical contrivances have been brought into play. The digging, whether in dirt or rock, is done by gteat steam shovels, taking out their yards of clay or tons of rock at a dipperful. Power drilis and channeiers for cutting the rock ag it lies in place, thus leaving a solid wall of the original strata, are operated by com- pressed air, which is. distribyted along the length of the work and gan.be tapped almost anywhere by the turn of a valve. Great pile drivers are sinking timbers for a support to the smooth timber floors and sides of the canal in places where the walls are earth, so that there shall be as little friction as possible and the Water be de- livered with the practical head as close to the theoretical as skill will permit. At the lower end of this immense canal the foundations are now in for a power house, of stone and concrete, to be 1380 feet long and 100 feet in height and width. In this power house the water will have a fall of 17 feet, and it will be made to pass through 80 great turbines, now under con- struction in a Massachusetts shop. These wheels will drive dynamos sufficient to give 50,000 horse power. The electrical installa- tion witl be by the WesWnghouse compa- ny and of the latest desigm ; These two canals, one on each side the Sault river, willanot take all water of the flow of Lake Superior in excess of what may be needed to operate the ship locks and float vessels in the ship canals there. So wark has commenced cy a third power canal for the company. This is to be of al- most the size of the Michigan Canai, and will be located on the Canadian side, some distance back from the river. It will not be needed for some years, and will be ready then. Rock from this excavation and that of the Michigan Canal is being uBed in the construction of the handsome but plain manufacturing buildings of the company on both sides the international boundary. The company has leased a part of the power to be derived from its Michigan Canal to the Union Carbide Co., and an- other part to the American Alkali Co., and the price for power to these companies i« but $10 per horse power per year. At this figure there is a large net revenue from the canal, and a considerable power to be used in other ways. In order that the diversion of such a tre- mendous quantity of water @s will low through these three power canals may not permanently lower the level of Lake Su- perior, the company will, the present win- ter, begin the construction of remedial works at the head of the rapids of Ste, Marie. These are planned by its engineers, under the supervision of its consulting en- gineer, Alfred Noble, and will be installed under the direction of the war depart- ment bureau of engineers. It Is intended that as the flow through the power canals increases, the dams of the remedial works shall be increased similarly, so that the facility of flow through one shall be offset by a retardation through the other, and in time, when all the available water shall pass through the canals, the rapids of Ste. Marie shall be dry and the Chippewa shad no longer fish or plunge reckless tourists through the mighty flood. Them every drop of water running out from Lake 5u- perior shall have its work, either to turn @ wheel or bear a ship. There have been spent tn this enterprise about $6,000,000, and the plans call for the, expenditure of about $16,000,000 / more. in addition to the read from Migeanabe to While the enterprise is es-

WHY WE LAUGH. —-- -_-@ -— Nerves and Muscles Played Upon By the Impulse of Another Per- son's Hilarity. - T. TOUIS physicians say laughter is S contagious. This outward sign of merriment, they hold, springs from the soul es well as the heart. Its impul- giveness varies with the temperament of the individual. , Recently Henry Johnson, an aged negro, was sent to the St. Louis City Hogpital for observation es to his mental condition. Happiness was his delusion. He laughed continuously and the least remark, whether himorous or otherwise, would set him in an uproar. He was taken into custody at a meeting, which it was said he had disturbed by his loud peals of laughter. He was an inmate of the hospital less than a week when the “contagion” read to his fellew patients and the most matter-of-fact incident started the laughing chorus. Every time Johnson laughed the others laughed. The hospital physicians decided that Johnson’s jollity was due to natural causes and after a brief stay he was re- leased from the institution. Dr. John M. Dean says: “‘There are some people who never laugh, just as there are others who never weep. “It is not so much the state of mind that produces the facial transformation called jaughter as the spirit which moves the soul to action. “An individual, without worry and pos- sessing above*all a clear conscience, will always be disposed to laugh. “A frivolous girl is such because her *“mind is untroubled and she looks only at the gay side of life. Take her in company: She is ready to laugh when others do and will frequently giggle until the muscles of her face are strained. She will go into a church where all is silence and solemnity and the least untoward incident will give her the giggles, which, properly speaking, fs the superlative degree of laughter. “The darky’s is a_ ringing, continuous laugh. He of us all seems ever free of worldly cares. We refer to the idiot’s laugh His mind is gone; his sense and reason are gone and, hollow-brained, he gives vent to naught but laughter. "Take a person who has met with mis- fortune, is in dread of something serious happening to him, he will seldom laugh. His soul is affected. An insincere person will not laugh heertily. “Laughter if contagious is controllable. Our leading stage comedians are an exem- plication of this fact. From the begin- ning to the end of the performance the situations may abound in all sorts of hu- mor, the audience may be splitting its sides with laughter, yet the one who has caused the outburst will retain a sober, stern expression. / “A thief or a murderer seldom laughs. The reason to the Christian is clear. Their souls are depressed. “Viewed scientifically, laughter is a stim- ulation .of the nervous system, hringing into play the third and fourth nerves.

This state of the brain and mind are fa- mililar in the phenomena of hysteria. After the great grief of an overmastering sorrow, the mind has been known to find relief in reactionary laughter. Our darky friend who laughed so excessively and con- tinuously Was probably a little off men- tally.

While making her first trip to Ireland she brought her work out on the deck of the royal yacht. It consisted of a bon- net frame, some ribbons and feathers and to the astonishment of the officers and erew she proceeded to make herself a bon- net, which she wore several times after her return to England. She went about her self-imposgd task in a way that showed it wasn't her first at- tempt either. She would make a bow, tack it on, then, in apparent dissatisfaction, rip it off and rearrange it, altering a bow here and a knot there until she was satisded with the effect, finally putting in the feath- er in most coquettish style. MARVELOUS REPRODUCTIONS OF FLOWERS IN GLASS CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 4. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HE.Ware collection of Blaschka ‘glass -E models of flowers in the-Harvard Mu- seum is apparently better known to visitors than any scientific collection, whether of flowers or other objects. The models are made by a secret process by Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudopih in Germany and secured to the university by the generosity of Mrs. Elizabeth C. Ware and. Miss Mary L. Ware of Boston, who have established it as a memorial of the late Dr. Charles E. Ware, of the Harvard class of 1834. The elder Blaschka died in 1895, leaving his son to continue the work alone. While the two were working to- mether the number of models received at Harvard in a year sometimes amounted to over 100, including the branch with its flow- er, and certain special details on a magni- fied scale; but for the last two or three years the average number of models re- .cefved has been in the meighborhood of 20 (or 25. The total mumber of plants now ‘shown in the cases at the museum is 678, besides 2424 illustrative detafis. The first point to strike the attention, | perhaps, is that the models do not look like ‘glass at all. A blade of grass has the | translucency not of glass, but of the orig- inal growing in the fields. The surface of the leaf of a water plant is nothing like the surface of a piece of glass, but has the waxy effect of the real leaf. The very hairs or tiny excrescences which grow on the stems of certain plants, are reproduced with an accuracy which one would have thought beyond human skill to obtain. This wonderful accuracy is well brought in a report made from a strictly scientific point of view, several years ago, by a contributor to the Botanical Gazette. Speaking of the model of the thorny aralia, the writer said: ‘The building up of the _coniplex inflor- escence with its multitudinous minute flow- ers, is almost past belief. In this cluster, with its flowers so small that their struc- ture can be seen only with a lens, while many of its buds are so minute as to be Iin- a $B 99-0909-00-404509-49-49400 Treasures That Have Been Added to the Harvard University Collection. distinguishable to the naked eve, I counted, of buds, blossoms and developing frult, from 2000 to 3000. And yet every flower has its five petals, and five alternating stamens with iong filaments. I sought to find on the under part of the cluster some flowers per- haps less carefully done, as being practical- ly out of sight, but they were all equal in their perfection. The immense compound leaf shows the spines scattered irregularly along the stalk and midribs, The pa'e under surface of the leaflets is quite invisible, owing to the position of the leaf on the card. Were every specimen in the collec- tion to be inverted, the same accurate work would be seen.’’ The color is naturally the most effective characteristic of the Blaschka models—its freshness, its brilliancy or tenderness as the case may be, and its absolute truth to the natural flower. In some instances the color appears to be a pigment laid in the glass, but for the most part it is in the glass itself. In neither case has it faded in the slightest degree, so far as the closest observation can tell, even in models received 10 or a dozen years ago. Another striking point about the glass flowegs is their seeming fragility and their SKETCH OF MODEL real toughness and durability. One would suppose that at least half of them would be broken in the transit from Germany to this country, but:as a matter of fact, prac- tically all arrive at the museum as perfect as when they left the Blaschka studio. The greatest care, of course, is taken to pack them securely for the voyage. Each speci- men, with its illustrative details, is wired to a piece of heavy white, cardboard, prop- erly labeled. This piece of cardboard is glued to the bottom of a heavy pasteboard box, which is packed in straw in a woceglen case, which in turn is bundled in more straw and sewed finally in a covering of burlap. The models have until recently been left on the cardboard to which they were original- ly fastened, but the cardboard, it has been found, is liable to warp, bringing a strain on the glass which sometimes causes it to break. Accordingly it is proposed to trans- fer the whole collection to tablets of white OF COMMON MULLEN. Showing Stalk With Magnified Tllustrative Details. 1. The Stalk, Natural Size. 2.

The Harvard collection—the main part of it, that is—is intended to represent, as fully as-shall be possible in the lifetime of Rudolph Blaschka, the affinities of the prin- cipal flowering plants of North America, in the territory, particularly, of the United States. Beginning, that is, with the lower forms like the pine, the collection passes in order upward through the orchid, the cactus, the rhododendron, the rose (to name only an example here and there), to the most highly developed plants, like the dan- delion, the daisy, the burdock, the thistle and the aster. In attractiveness the cases vary as the flowers are more or less bril- liant; but though it Is desired that the col- lection shall be as beautiful and striking as may be, the scientific progression from the lower to the higher forms, embracing the plainest as well as the showlest bios- soms, is the object aimed at. The models are, of course, all sife-size, ranging from the humblest and smallest field flower to such superb specimens as a great branch of the eucalyptus, two and a half feet long. Each tablet, or card, in- ° cludes the flowering branch and magnified studies of any details of the flower which possess special interest for botanists. Usu- ally there are three or four of these de- tails—including pretty regularly the stamen and transverse and longitudinal sections of the ovary—and often as many as seven or . Might, where some peculiarity in the struc- ture of other parts, as the stigma, the style, the plant hairs, or the pollen grains, is to be brought out. Besides the main collection just de- scribed, two supplementary ones have been formed. One is in connection with the department of economic botany, and shows the natural state of the plants producing Indian corn, /cotton, coffee, tea, tobacco, chocolate and the like, each model being surrounded by specimens of the commercial product. A second collection illustrates the relation between insects and plants, and is divided into two parts—one to explain the phenomena: of cross-pollenation by Insects; and the other displaying the habits of plants which, like the Venus’ fly-trap and the pitcher plant, ensnare insects and de- vour them as food. The examples shown in this last section are perhaps the most striking models in the museum. Remarkable as the Ware collection now is, it is to be considered as only the begin- ning of the great and systematic exhibition which Harvard will have to show in coming years, if Rudolph Blaschka’s life is pro- longed. He is now 43 years old, an artist possessing a unique and unequaled process of copying the most delicate and perishable of natural things and a botanist of the keen- est observation and the greatest love for his subject. He has twice visited this country to collect and study such native plants as cdild not be transported or grown in Eu- rope from seed or bulbs, going as far south as the island of Jamaica and west to Ari- zona and California. I “black country” in England ¢on- tained whole villages devoted to the making of nails by hand, where whole families, including the woman and chjldren, worked at the forge. Even the babies crawling about the hearth amused them- selves with clinkers and bits of nail rod for playthings. Young woman with colored “kerchiefs” bound about their head to pro- tect their hair, their muscular arms bare to the shoulders, stood pumping the bel- lows, and alternately bending over the an- vil, deftly using a hammer in one hand, and working another hammer with the foot by means of a treadle attachment. This Was severe work and poorly paid in those da en shillings per week in truck at the vi store—and if the work was at all faulty it was “‘tailed,’’ thereby reducing even this meager pay. Twelve hours per day were these daughters of Vulcan re- quired to labor their youth away in this manner for a mere pittance. In a village where nails were made, the houses were but for the purpose, having a “stall” attached which contained the hearth. These stalls rented for about four pence per week. Families working in this way were called “free workers’ because they were paid by the pound or hundred weight. The head of the family secured the nail Fin years ago, what was called the PROGRESS OF RECENT The Industry Has Been Removed From the Hand Crafts by the Perfection of Machines Which Were Thought Impossible. rods at the village store. These rods were in sizes to correspond to the size of the natis to be madé and were paid for in nails at 4 fixed price. The nails were supposed to welgh back at about 75 per cent of the weight of the rods, allowing 25 per cent for dross and other waste—a liberal allowance one would think, in these days of machine accuracy. In Staffordshire alone more than 50,000 people were employed in this manner. What a curious comment on human nature to note that these families, including w0- men were the foremost to resist the en- croachment of modern labor-saving machin- ery, even to the use of destructive force. The first patent for a nail machine wa’ granted by King James to his trusty knight, Sir Bevis Bulmer, in the year 1606. It is recorded “that the said Bir Bevis Bulmer hafe invented a new, apt or compendius forme or kinde of engine or instrument to be put in use driven and wrought withgl by water or waterworks as well for the con- cerning a quicker and more apt and spyedy ways and meaygs then knowne experimented and used within our realms and Dominion’'s within the Tyme of man's memory for, in, about the cutting of tron into small bars or Rodds to serve for the making of nayles for the necessary use and service of us and our subjects."’ This is but the commencement of a long preamble setting forth the merits of the parts of the country, Penny as desig- ; ° YEARS IN N machine, but It was not @ success, Other trusty subjects continued to invent and patent mall machinery for the next 200 years, but not until the year 1811, when a Birmingham firm made the experiment of cutting or shearing nails off a sheet of fron, was @ nail machine considered a success. Americans adopted the same principle and improved upon it so that about the year 1820, cut nails could be made by machinery both tn England and America. It is one thing to invent and perfect ma- chinery, but it 1s quite another thing to have it adopted and brought into gener?! use. For 40 years the nail machine was kept in the background, while the great bulk of the world’s supply of nails was made by hand, The first machinery for making horse- shoe nails that could be considered at @!! successful was put in operation in 1872, but it required 10 years to overcome the pre)v- dice in favor of bend-made nails, For stil! another decade shoeing smiths, after round- ly cursing the “new-fangled” things, would tilt the heads and tip the points to agree with their own ideas, The term penny, denoting the size of may have originated by weight and count. aa the hand-made 10d nail weighed svunds per thousand nails, though some not account for the term in that case, meant nalis, 10 ? does unless penny, 7.4 (iia penny, pound.

Twenty years ago we had two qualities of cut nalis, fron and steel. They were made practically the same way, with a very sim- ple machine, which chopped the nail from the end of a flat strip of metal. This metal strip corresponded in width and thickness to the length and size of the nail to be made. They were fed into the machine by hand, the taper of the nail necessitating turning the strip the reverse side up, as each nail was cut.\ As the blanks were cut they were caught between the jaws of & vise and the larger end pressed with e dle to form the head. This completed the proc- ess and the nails were dropped inte «@ trough leading to the keg. It was a common thing for an iron nail made in this manner to split when being driven, the pronge following the grain of the wood in different directions. Steel nails made in this way Were better because of superior toughness which renders them pliable enough to clinch. The price of steel nails ranged about 2% cents more per pound than fron.

Many maidens have had their hearts steeped in desolation ever since. Just a month before his cards were sent out the whole of France had been set bab- bling of the American girl who—rich, beau- tiful and well connected—had gone to his rooms after seeing him play for the first time his great part of the Duc de Sept- monts, and offered him her heart. At the play she had said to her mother and to her girl friends—she had said earn- estly: “T shall marry this man.” They had laughed and explained who and what he was. “Marriage with him would mean divorce within six months,’’ they protested. “What care I for the misfortune that may * Ce {ek SSS ek i igf 4 ae raat Vet? . . ~ = . * ‘ an, Mat . . 7 . - .

It is admitted on every side that the real Beau Brummel’s sententious ‘‘Who’s your fat friend?’’ was a mere pin prick com- pared to his imitator’s verbal bludgeoning: “I have known Wales personally for 10 Or 12 years and I have never once seen him @ressed like a gentleman.” Alas for “the first gentleman in Europe” a title, by the way, which descended to His Royal Highness from the Prince Re- gent, whom the real Beau Brummell flouted in his day just as cruelly as M. Le Bargy is flouting the Prince of Wales, but with eid ae . i ee more delicacy and wit. “The Prince of Wales,”’ proclaims imitation Beau Brummel (made in France), “lacks the subtle imagination to innovate anything, and even the physique, knowl- edge and tact to wear properly the crea- tions of others.”’ Can perfidious Albion recover from this blow, so sudden, so crushing, from such an unexpected quarter? There is a frenzy of Gelight among anglophobist man milliners, who hope that the fiat of the adored Le Bargy may put an end to the unpatriotic habit affected by the Parisian gilded youth of ordering their clothes from Bond street. But let it not be imagined that Le Bargy, the ideal of the Theatre Francais, dresses like a Frenchman. Perish the thought! Le Bargy wear a fiat-brimmed hat and a short-skirted frock coat? Le Bargy wear evening dress in the daytime? Nay! Nay! Le Bargy, who is to Paris what a com- bination of John Drew and Berry Wall would be to New York, and a great deal more, dresses on the English model, but embellishes it with a wealth of ornate in- dividuality all his own. He recognizes the fact that men’s fashions are created in London just as surely as women’s fashions are created in Paris, but he is not content to confine himself to the severity of line and color dictated by Bond street. Like the once famous J. Waldere Kirk wf Chicago, Le Bargy brings to bear on the ® Be the u / ore IN ee - ee Mi i, saa 1 ¥ Yip Wit pts it mat 4 i hi ” a fae 1 come if I may live one month enfolded with his love!’ She was too earnest, her look too weird; they took her away. But the same night she ran away to him. This unfortu- nate call was prolonged by a visit to San Sebastian, in Spain, a lovely spot, already made illustrious by Sarah Bernhardt and the poet Jean Richepin. Ten days elapsed. When everybody had ceased wondering where they were conceal- ing themselves, M. Le Bargy brought the hysterical American ‘heiress back, and gos- sip once more rustled through the city. Then Le Bargy announced that he had long been engaged to Mlle. Benda, who was a little person ignored by the world end ignorant of it. She had never sent him the least sweet-scented billet-doux on pale tinted stationery; she had no money to speak of, but a great personal charm, a sound education and a sensible, pure mind. She is making a dignified, sweet little wife for that lady-killer. He adores her. All these things—his adventures and his characteristics, and his love for his wife— you may learn from Le Bargy himself, es- pecially if you intimate that you want the information for a newspaper. For, though more gifted than most of those stage folks you know, he is vain—vain—vain, and loves to see himself in print. : Or in the looking glass. : His handsome person is the dearest pos- é ’ , ff 4 M. LE BARGY.: question of toilet a ripe and independent judgment and an almost Oriental wealth of imagination. Some of his more flamboyant creations would startle Piccadilly almost @s much as a Mexican greaser’s costume, but in Paris they are raved over as the acme of good taste, and the local proto- type of the matinee girl studies his waist- coats sedulously and even strives to imi- tate them in her own costumes. Walstcoats? Le Bargy has 150 of ‘em hanging on stretchers, row upon row. Trousers? Never less than 60 pair, each clasped in its patent presser. Coats? An apartment full of them. Frock eoats, cutaway coats, Tuxedo coats, smok- ing coats, walking coats, racing coats, bunting ‘coats, evening coats in red and in dlack—all these and many others, the spe- cial names of which only Le Bargy and his valet can remember. They hang stiffly, like the battle armor ef old, each buttoned tightly over an ar- rangement of hoops and cushions that re- produces the shape of the owner, each with the sleeves stuffed hard with false arms ot cotten wool, so that there is never a fold ‘or a crease that is wrong. renchmen have refused to follow him since his appearance at the Bal de |'Opera with a tie so negligently arranged as to re- reveal the upper half of his collar button. That one incident turned the wavering tide to Le Bargy, and now he has swept beyond all rivalry. Let not the early allusions here to Berry Wall and J. Waldere Kir®™create a false impression of the man. Le Bargy is no drummer, no champagne agent. In his own profession he is an artist of the first rank and ab administrator of great ability. His - fight a few months ago with Jules Claretie, director of the Comedie Francais, was con- oneted on his side with superb skill. Le Bargy is about % years old—rather foot 10 or 41—fair-haired, with a flax- “Little mustache which he has always declined ve off, even when his stage : cody He ly demanded that sac- which shows that he, like his lady ‘niners, realizes the esthetic value of hairs carefully trained on the | Bargy? Yes; he is married— session he has, He pets himself, fondles himself, caresses himself, dresses himself, looks at himself with a joy so profound, so intimate, so infinite, that it becomes touch- ing. His power is remarkable.A word from him makes or unmakes a tailor or a bootmaker. And the favored few to whom he deigns to give advice about their dress are envied and in turn plagued with questions. When his marriage was announced the good dressers of Paris and London won- dered in what garb he would elect tod walk to the altar. Then the papers took up the question and for days were filled with col- umns of speculationg. Finally his dark-blue frock coat with vel- vet collar, and his purple kid gloves, estab- lished that new fashion of wedding dress for men, which still lingers in some quarters here. It is an accepted legend in Paris that President Faure, who from a tannery had risen to the highest magistracy of the coun- try, secretly went through a course of se- vere tuition under.) Le Bargy, and thus se- cured the polish which was latterly re- marked in him, whatever he did, said or wore. Nor does the influence which the Beau Brummel of the Comedie Francais wields over the manners and costumes of his gen- eration, stop at the male portion of it; for he is a great critic of female atttire when he feels at liberty to speak his mind about it. Paquin and Doucet, the two kings of the Rue de la Paix, lately threatened to sue le Bargy before the courts for malicious injury to business. It seems that the actor, who is naturally the enemy of large shops where things are indefinitely duplicatéd on a few models, had relieved his mind of his ideas about the styles of those two tremendous establish- ments. When the threat of an action in damages came to him Le Bargy was inter- viewed.

Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. This is the second in the series upon ‘“The Sins of Bociety.”’ The first, upon ‘‘International Mar- riages,"’ was published last week. The author, the Rev. Braddir Hamilton, has been prominent in all movements for the public weal in New York. A Ca- nadian by birth, he was a classmate of the unfortu- mate Duke of Olarence in 1885. He has acted in New York as president of the Episcopalian Society. His sermon on divorce in high society, delivered last gummer in the ultra-fashionable All-Saints’ Memo- rial Chapel in Newport, produced a deep impression upoa the public mind. By REV. BRADDIN HAMIL- TON, HEN the season of social gayety W opens before us in New York, with its lavish pomp, late hours and marvelous array of costumes, we cannot help being seriously impressed with the magnitude of the parts which judicious cos- tume and absurd costume, dignified cos- tume and vulgar costume are occupying in the minds of this great and prosperous coin- munity. The alarming tendency certainly is to- ward silly, alarming deterioration and oD- jectionable costume, in fact, many cases have reached that stage now. Take that style of costume, the mention of which causes the public ear to grow so sensitive—that is the style known as ultra- decollete. The original meaning of this, word, which is derived from the Latin, “de” (from) and ‘“collum” (the neck) means a stripping of the neck alone; why the back or chest should be stripped halfway down and then called decollete is more than we can readily understand, except it is anoth- er exhibition of nearly always has a tendency to overstep human weakness which the boundary. Now, to speak most charitably regarding that it has this usage would be to say reached its limit of admiration, and in many cases has decidedly overreached the confines of modesty, going no little dis- tance into the sphere of vulgarity. Many of the gowns cut after this style seen at the opera, at coming-out receptions, dances given for friends, at dinners and other as- semblages, clearly justify these assertions. It is said to be a French custom. Even if it were, we might truly reply that we have more respect for our ladies than they have in France, and if this style, in the ex- treme to which it is being carried, is con- genial to the French people it is not 80 to the better portion of this community. I am speaking specially for the men, the majority of whom express their opinions on this subject only to men; and 20 per cent of the better class of men regar§ the cus- tom as repulsive and undignified. Nothing stings a maniy man so severely as to be forced to lower his esteem for a lady on Condemns Dress Which Are Conventional in DECOLLETE COSTUME ANDITSEFFECT DESO Or OP Ore Or Orr Or OOO e Preacher to the Extremes. in account of her conversation, actions or un- dignified costume. But we can only assume this custom to be a French one. It is much older than France —it is a reversion to garbarism. The wom- en of nearly all the less civilized coun- tries, including the colder climates, have gone to this same extreme # much so that in several of the Asiatic countries the men lost their proper respect for women and protested against this indignity, causing the women to cover up all but their eyes. The chief purpose of this ultra-decollete ~—if it has a sane purpose—is to improve the appearance. Now, I think the majority of readers will agree with me that it is onl? one lady out of twenty who looks her best in or has a physique suited for that style of gown; especially our young buds, as they are nearly all spare and frail in appear- ance, Seeing many of them in extreme decollete gowns one is inclined to think that the East India famine pictures were taken in this country. I have in mind a young lady of about 18 whom I met at an evening entertainment at the Newport Casino this past summer. She had a sweet, unselfish, intelligent face~— her manner was smooth, natural and lady- like—but, oh my! her frame was so meager that one would at once conclude “What a pity you are not all covered extept that good, sweet face!"’ Every time she migved her head you could see the pulsation of her jugular veins, the cords of her neck looked as though they would cut the skin and her arms were no thicker at the shoulders than wrists, reminding one of golf putters. Now the question comes to us—does the Satisfaction of a very few wémen who are made to look their best in extreme decol- lete counterbalance its evils? It is decided- ly detrimental to health. Every time a woman dresses in that style in this cli- mate she is shaking hands with pneumo- nia or rheumatic evils. This season in New York is probably go- ing to be the most unhealthful in the his- tory of the city, with typhoid germs in the water and sewers exposed by the opening of the rapid transit tunnel. In the face of this we see women clad in such a manner increase these dangers, bringing sickness and death into their as to trouble, homes, When an athletic man goes out clad in woolen coat and vest, heavy linen shirt and fleece-lined undercilothing to avoid drafts and at the same assemblage and in the same temperature you see a frail wom- an with nothing but two strings over her shoulders to protect the vital parts of her body, to imagine that her frame is not be- ing injured and that her biood is circulating properly would be to imagine a physical im- possibility. Furthermore, a man's health Is endan- gered. Men are obliged to dance with win- ter clothing on in rooms heated to a high temperature because of these sparse cos- tumes until they are much overheated, and in this condition they start for their homes in the chilly hours of the night, blocks or even miles away. Again, many young men are prevented or prefer to stay away from social func- tions where their sisters are to appear in extreme decollete. As a young man put it ¢ ° . , SF w ‘ ie ky > ad . . .) . ce? : ‘ ” . a 2 m o 4S nf ‘ M Z Wea , ’ “ - + > & : . * ’ ~ : 7 7 -.

Does a young lady who wears the manly adornments of whiskers and mustache stand any show of being led to the altar a blushing, happy bride? The experience of Miss Viola gswers these ‘questions in the affirmative. This woman was born in Cory. Elk Cour- ty, Pa., 46 years ago, and had whiskers and a mustache from comparatively ear!ty chiid- hood. Far from being handicapped thereby, Miss Post was one of the belles of the country neighborhood. At church sociables and mite societies, spelling schools and sleighing parties she was much courted by the young men and never lacked a‘‘beau.”’ Miss Post's beard was nearly six inches long when she was 14 years old, and every one who lived in the town with her got used to it, but strangers frequently saw the girl, and few of them could believe the whiskers were genuine About that time many lovers came a- wooing. Miss Post had four offers of mar- riage before she was 18 years oid but re- fused them all. When she bad completed her education, at the age cf i8, she gave her hand and heart to Amos Myers, a young farmer of Elk County. They were mar- ried in the town of Ridgeway, and have lived happily ever since. By VIOLA POST MYERS, Y husband likes my beard.

T. DE WITT TALMAGE unexpected pleasure. M letter inviting me to call, and, with Mrs. Ta!mage, I went. Miss Nightingale is a very wonderful woman in appearance. She Hes prostrate upon a lounge and sel- dom, if ever, walks across the floor. Ap- parently ‘she is in perfect health, and her countenance is an illumination of kind- ness, sympathy and tenderness such as I never saw in any other. It is impossible for a person like her to have been forty or fifty years engaged in the alleviation of suffering without- having it radiate her countenance. Ehe is just entering her elghty-first year, but Is as actively engaged in the work of alleviating suffering as she was when she stood in the ditches during the Crimean war binding up the wounds of the sol- diers when there were no hospitals. Much of her time is spent instructing classes of nurses. She trains them and* gives valua- ble suggestions because of her great expe- rience. In addition, she ts president of one of the largest of London’s many hospitals. She was in touch constantly with the war in South Africa, making suggestions and through her pen, appealing for funds. Miss Nightingale is as much interested to- day as she ever wasinall organizations ‘having as their object the assuagement of suffering. I had some facts which had not before been published in regard to the famine in India, and when I recited these to her she immediately took her pencil and paper from a table at the side of her couch and recorded the facts, all the while plying me with inquiries in regard to the awful hun- ger in India. Stic talked most interestingly of the Criméan war, Balaklava, Inkermann and Sebastopol; Her reminiscences of the hap- pénings of this period are most wonderful. She expreséed a desire, notwithstanding lier age, to live on many years that she might’ continue the work of planning for the rélfef of suffering humanity. Miss Nightingale never knew until I told her. that she was called by the soldiers of the Crimean hospitals “The Lady of the Lamp.” The soldiers gave her this title be- cause of the amount of work she accom- plished among them at night—visiting the I received a trenches, barns, battle-flelds and wherever there were suffering and wounded men to be found. It is a great inspiration to look at her wonderful face. She said she did not want to die while there was so much suffering in the world. I asked her if her work had not been a great strain in her nervous system. She answered: “We did not have time to think of our- selves. We just gave our entire attention to others, and we never got through, conse- quently we d@ not feel the strain.”’ Before leaving her I said there was no poetry in war, but dreadful prose. She replied that, while war was dreadful! prose, there was much poetry to be found in the behavoir of soldiers after they were wounded and by their touching kindness to their comrades. Miss Nightingale informed me that dur- ing the entire time she had been on bat- tleflelds and among men who were without & restraining influenec she had never once been ifnsulted or heard one word spoken which should not have been uttered. They were all gentlemen, she deciared. She said she had never been happy until she began that line of work, and since be- ginning it she had never had an unhappy day. It is not generally known, perhaps, that she sacrificed a great deal for the work upon which she entered. She was born in luxury, was a deep scholar, a master of languages, a queen in the draw- ing room, and could have lived in luxury had she so chosen; but instead she slected a life of privation for herself ministering to the suffering. I think she wiil live many years. Although her powers of locomotion are interfered with and she cannot move around, there is a healthfulness and vigor in her conver- sation that prophesies wonderful longevity. In @ room communicating with that in which she spends her time there are a number of chairs. This is her audience chamber. The committees of hospitals and other charities in which she is interested meet there, and she communicates with them through her sercetaries. In instructing nurses, however, they come to the side of her couch and there receive ~ the benefits of her experience. The whole English nation reverences her, and her en- tire life is illustrative of the greatness of her soul and self-sacrifice. LONDON, Nov. 30. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. LORENCE NIGHTINGALE, although 81 years old, is still engaged in help- ing train nurses, and so aids in the good work she began years ago. Florence Nightingale was born in Flor- ence, Italy, the daughter of a rich English resident, and from the beautiful city of her birth derived her name. If ever human be- ing had a vocation she had one for nursing. As a child she endowed her dolls with all manner of complaints and nursed, ban- daged and drugged them. Later she prac- ticed on her playmates, and her room was filled with bottles of fluid which she was pleased to imagine medicine. Taken to Egypt as a girl she seized the opportunity to minister to sick Arabs and earn their boundless gratitude. When the time arrived for her to make her debut in the exalted society of which she was entitled to be an ornament she did nothing of the kind. London was interest- ing to her only because it contained so many suffering people. She cared not for the palaces, but for the slums and hospitals. After gaining experience in a famous Ger- man hospital she established herself in Lon- don a8 a nurse, and was already famous and honored when war broke out and the English nation was thrilled by tales of hor- ror and pestilence from the Crimea. Three feet of snow was on the ground and 18,000 men were in the hospitals. ' It was necessary to send a relief corps of nurses. Miss Nightingale wrote to Sir Sydney’ Herbert, secretary of war, offering her services. By a cross mail he wrote to _— her asking her to head the expedition. In France as in England she was hailed as an angel of mercy. When ske and her 34 nurses crossed the Channel they were met at Boulogne by the women of the town, who carried the baggage of the expedition on their backs. Inkeepers refused to accept money from them. Poor people sought to touch the hems of their skirts. For once in their history France and Eng- land were united in an impulse of generous and beautiful emotion. The battle of Inkermann had just been fought when Florence Nightingale and her nurses arrived at the Crimea. There were miles of sick and wounded, with no pro- vision for their succor. The horrors of that camp, where men were dying by hun- dreds, could not be exaggerated. Many historians have attempted to tell what Florence Nightingale became to those suffering wretches, but every Crimean vet- eran proclaims that no words can ever be coined to express it. “The Lady of the Lamp” went everywhere, suffered every- thing, slept not, and the passionate eager- ness with which the stricken watched for her face was suggestive of religious adora- tion rather than any merely human relation, It was not alone the genius for personal ministration that made her great, but she combined with this a genius for organiza- tion and executive, a superb will that en- abled her to triumph over brutal official jealousy, slander and mistrust, and a com- prehension of the art of nursing so pro- found that to this day there is not in tne whole world a more respected authority on the subject. Her labors, which would have wreeked the life of a woman not sustained by the spiritual fire that burned within her, lasted a year. The English nation, from Queen Victoria down, prepared a great welcome home for her; it was characteristic of her that she stole into England like a thief in the night and hastened to seclude herself. But the queen was not to be denied, Miss Nightingale was commanded to appear be- fore her sovereign and all the tenderness and admiration of which Victoria’s woman- ly heart was capable was lavished upon her in that interview. Decorations were bestowed upon her “by most of the rulers of Europe, including the sultan. The English nation, ever practical in its gratitude, made her a present of $250,000. She used the money, every penny of it, to found the Florence Nightingale School for Nurses, one of the most val- uable philanthropic and scientific institu- tions in the world. Florence Nightingale’s life since then has been incessantly active and dedicated sing- ly to the relief of suffering. In addition to practical labor she has written much that is valuable on nursing and hospital work. Some of her aphorisms are witty. For ex- ample, “‘The first requirement of a hospital is that it shall do the sick no harm.” And again, in advocating the presence of a caged bird in a sick room, “The song- ster’s primary virtue lies in its being un- able to talk.” During the American civil war the: fed- eral government asked her advice about field hospital work, and the assistance she rendered was very valuable. The official testimonial she obtained for this service is paralleled by a similar one from the French government. At the outbreak of the war in South Af- rica Lord Salisbury’s government con- sulted her on the subject, and in spite of her age and infirmity she proved the same clear-sighted Florence Nightingale as of old. ’ Sis - ~ id 7 . e nea + ae _ ~ e ee 2s a eB Ae hk ae MD: : Wns dy.

Louisan, \U who is engaged in steamboating on the Yukon river, in the Klon- dike region, has handled more gold under ‘perilous conditions than any other St. Louis man. Every month, during the season that the Yukon is navigable, he has charge of nearly $1,000,000 in gold dust and’ nuggets brought down from the gold flelds and shipped to the mint in San Francisco. Mr. Drown is a son of Capt. Percival 8. Drown, secretary of the Mississippi and Ohio River Pilots’ Association, and he is now in St. Louls. visiting with his parents at 6741 Vernon avenue. He is purser of the steamer Susie, owned by the Alaska Com- . anercial Co. and plying between St. Michael, on the west coast of Alaska, on the Yukon river, to Dawson, the metropolis of the Klondike goldfields. A purser on the big steamboats on the Yukon is equivalent to first clerk on the Mississippi and Missouri river steamers. Mr. Drown says that there are more wrecks and accidents on the Yukon than on the Mississippi, but that this is due to the inferior boats that are in service there. ~ People are so anxious to get to th gold- flelds that they are willing to take passage on any kind of a vessel. Mr. Drown learned steamboating on the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers be- ‘fore he left St. Louis, nearly twenty years ago. He tired of interior navigation and went to sea. He became associated with the Pacific Mail Co. and foy many years was in their employ. He has voyar*’ over the Pacific Ocean from San Fran....v to China, to Australia and to South America. He was purser on one of the finest of the Pacific Ocean steamers when the gold fever in the Kiondike was at its acme. He relinquished his position and went to the goldfields. He achieved little success as a miner and drifted back to steamboating. Mr. Drown likes the Yukon quite well and has no de- sire to come back to the States As San Francisco is the headquarters of the com- pary by which he is employed, he makes his home there. He will remain in St. Louis until January, when he will return to Cali- fornia, and he will be back at St. Michael by the first of next June to take out his boat. By WILLIAM B. DROWN. TEAMBOATING in Alaska is not ma- S terially differwit from what it is here. The navigatiqa ews are not go strict there as here, and not much effort is made to enforce those that exist. Consequently, the business is open for everybody, and that means that many kinds of craft are plying the rivers. However, the wealthy companies, which are abie to offer the pub- lic the best and safest passage, obtain the cream of the business. : The Alaska Commercial Co., by whom I am employed, has a line of steamboats be- He Has Charge of Millions in Klondike Fields. workmen nearly across the continent. She is aS magnificently built as any of the boats here and the trip up the Yukon can be made as pleasantly as a pleasure trip on the rivers here in the States. The steamboat season on the Yukon is short, and all is hustle and bustle till it closes. The river fills early with ice, and after the ice forms all navigation must cease. No boat could penetrate the (‘ice gorges of the Yukon iQXt the winter. The river opens the last of May or the first of June. The ice begins to form late in Sep- tember or early in October, and then the season is over. Our boats start from St. Michael. In or- der to get into the Yukon we have to go south 90 miles through the Behring Sea to the mouth of the river. No seagoing vessel can approach near the mouth of the Yukon. Thiy’ is because of the vast banks built by the debris brought down by the ice and the volcanic scoriae discharged into the Yukon, Once on -the river it reminds one of a trip up the Missouri. The Yukon is 60 miles wide at its mouth i pe, . ih tWer o | ipa jyjjje me } ih a f 4 y ’ ‘5 ‘ 4, f ty jr a: Fag” AN a a et a ; : y * ~ Mh Ts Bes P= AW ran Wie h Sane = ee me i “ — ers ae i- \ \\ \\ \ \) DN J \ \ . | .\ ; \ ‘ \ —* oan I am tn charge of the office and {ft is In the offices that the gold is stored.

ROUP of Bakers- [) field, Cal., formerly of this county, took his first course in medicine while: unjustly serving a term in jail fur an offense committed by another, and, dur- ing which he acted as his own jailer. Dr. Roup is here on a visit and will spend one day in Atchison County at the place where he served the sentence. Dr. Roup is well known as a physician In California. He came from Kentucky to Missouri in the early ‘50's to join an elder brother here. The brother was engaged in the general merchandise business on Muiil Creek in Atchison County, and young Roup went in with him as a partner. Roup’s brother sold whisky, and was in- dicted for it. The sheriff went from Oregon across the prairie to arrest him, but found only young Roup in charge of the business, his brother having disap- perred, Roup was arrested and _ tried for the offense, his sentence being six months in jail. The jail was at Linden, and was a log house. The sheriff could not be there to see that Roup served the sentence} but trusted to the honor of the young man, who said he would serve it out. Roup slept in the jail every night, and during the day he chopped cordwood for Dr. Farris, the only physician in that part of the country. Medical books were furnished to the young man to read during the time he was serving the jail sentence and acting as his own jailer. A tallow dip furnished the light during the long winter evenings.

UGENDBE FIELD wrote a condensed au- F toblography a short time before his death. . He printed it in a pamphlet to send to such persons as inquired of him concerning hts life, his habits and his loves, The cdition was small, the circula- tion small. He called it ‘Auto-Analy- siz.’’ The Cornhill Magazine has reprinted it, as follows: AN AUTO-ANALYSIS. “I was born in St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 3, 1850, the second, and oldest surviving. son of Roswell Martin and Frances (Reed) Field, both natives of Windham County, Vermont. Upon the death of my mother (1856) I was put in the care of my (paternal) cousin, Miss Mary Field French, at Am- herst, Massachusetts. “In 1865 I entered the private school of Rev. James Tufts, Monson, Mass., and there fitted for Williams College, which in- stitution I entered as a freshman in 1868. Upon my father’s death, in 1869, I entered the sophomore class of Knox College, Gales- burg, Ill., my guardian, John W. Burgess, now of Columbia College, being then a pro- fessor in that Institution. But in 1870 I went to Columbia, Mo., and entered the State University there, and completed my junior year with my brother. In 1872 I vis- ited Europe, spending six months and my patrimony in France, Italy, Ireland and England. In May, 1873, I became a reporter on the St.’ Louis Evening Journal. In Octo- ber of that year I married Miss Julia Suth- erland Comstock (born in Chenango County, New York), of St. Joseph, Mo., at that time a girl of 16. We have had eight children— three daugiiters and five sons. “Till health compelled me to visit Europe in 1889; there I remained fourteen months, that time being divided between England, Germany, Holland and Belgium. My Jres!t- dence at present is in Buena Park, a north shore suburb of Chicago. ‘“‘My newspaper connections have been as follows: 1875-76, city editor of the St. Jo- seph, Mo., Gazette; 1876-80, editorial writer on the St. Louis Journal and 8st. Louls Times-Journal; 1880-81, managing editor of the Kansas City Times; 1881-85, managing editor of the Denver Tribune. Since 1833 1 have been a contributor to the Chicago Record. (formerly Morning News). “I wrote and published my first bit of verse in 1879; ft was entieled ‘Christmas Treasures’ (see ‘Little Book of Western Verse’). Just ten years later I began sud- denly to write verse very frequently; meanwhile (1883-1889), I had labored diligent- ly at writing short stories and tales. Most of these I revised half a dozen times.

Mr. Joseph Jefferson once said to me that all clever men knew they were clever. Vanity did not consist in knowing one’s cleverness. but in parading it. So Field felt. that if the world took an interest in him, and it unquestionably did, it would want , facts concerning him, and he determined the world should receive them at first hand—from himself. “This, as I believe, was the real reason he issued the ‘Auto-Analysis,’ and. beside exemplifying Field's forethought and me- thodicalness, it served his stated purpose to ‘give these facts, confessions and obser- vations for the information of those who, for one reason or another. are constantly applying to me for biographical data con- eerning myself "’ and I am inclined to | of those , who, for one reason or another, are apply- | He knew | GENIUSES | HAVE MET.

From advance sheets of this important work the Sunday Post-Dispatch presents a | selection of Maj. Pond's best stories: HENRY M. STANLEY. HIS MENTAL ENDURANCE.—A storm of almost savage indignation aganist Stan- ley had been aroused. : In the interview of that evening Stanley was absolutely great. There were 23 re- porters present—picked men of the great newspapers of New York, Philadelphia, | Boston and Chicago. My rooms were packed. The men were all keen set, and full of the historical sig- nificance, too, of their opportunity. The in- terviewer, with ample time too look up the ‘issues, were prepared with keen questions, 'and as he answered others weré called out on every side. ‘BILL NYE AND JAMES WHIT- | COMB RILEY. | THEIR PRACTICAL JOKES.—I remem- ‘ber when we were riding together, in the smoking compartment, between Columbus and Cincinnati Mr. Nye was a. great ‘smoker and Mr. Riley did not dislike to- / bacco. An old farmer came over to Mr. | Nye and sald: “Are you Mr. Riley? 'on the train.” “No; I am not Mr. Riley. He is over there.”’ “I knew his father, and I would like to speak with him."’ ) heard you were and you want to speak loud.” “O, speak with him?s Yes. But he is deaf. A Lecturer Manager Discloses the Eccen- tricities of Men Who Were Beguiled to the Platform. So the farmer went over to him and sald, in a loud voice: “Is this Mr. Riley?’’ “Er, what?’’ “Is this Mr. Riley?’ “What did you say?” “Ts this Mr. Riley ?’’ “Riley? O, yes.”’ “I knew your father.’ *‘No, brother.” ‘“ I knew your father.” “What?’’ “I knew your father.” “Oh, so did I.”’ And in a few moments the farmer heard Nye and Riley talking in ordinary tones of voice. Imagine his chagrin! MAX O’RELL. HIS FUNNIEST STORY—One night he had been in bed in the Grand Pacific hotel perhaps an hour or so, when there came a very decided rapping at his chamber door. “Who's there’ called Max O'Rell. “A reporter,’’ came the answer. “Well, I can’t see you now, I’m In bed.” The Frenchman heard his door being pushed cpen and the chair which he had placed against it tumbled over. Some one advanced into the room, struck a match and proceeded to light the gas. “Well, well! What'll you have, sir; what'll -you have?” cried Max O’Rell, indignant at this cool intruder. The reporter tossed the match into the fireplace and, throwing himself into a chair, said: “What'll I have Oh, I'll have a whiskey cocktail.”’ MARK TWAIN, HIS ABSTEMIOUSNESS.—Mark Twain eats only when he is hungry. I have known him to go days without eating a particle of food.. At the same time he would be smox- ing constantly when he was not sleeping. HIS .PRESENCE OF MIND.-—The Mon- tana Club entertaine@ him grandly after the lecture, and he met many old friends and acquaintances. Some of them had come all the way from Virginia City to see their for- mer comrade of the mining camps. One man, now very rich, came from Virginia City, Nev., on purpose to see Mark and set- tle an old score. When the~-glasses were filled and Mark’s health proposed this man interrupted the proceedings by saying: “Hold on a minute! Before we go fur- ther I want to say to you, Sam Clemens, that you did me a —— dirty trick over there in Silver City and I’ve come here to have a %éttlement with you!” There was a deathly silence for a mo- ment, when Mark said, in his deliberate drawl: “Let's see. That—was—before—I—re- formed, wasn‘t—it?’’ HENRY WARD BEECHER. HIS COURAGE.—The crowd was dis- posed to be uncivil. Canes began to rake the baluster of the balcony railing and feet to pound the’floor, and in less than a min- ute a yell fairly shook the theater. Mr. Beecher signaled me to proceed. As Mr. Beecher arose and stepped toward the footlights another yell went up. He stood unmoved and waited for some time. Finally a lull came and he began. It was not many minutes before the audience was in full sympathy with the speaker, and for two and a half hours Mr. Beecher addressed that crowd, swaying nen with his mighty eloquence and tell- g them such truths as they never before had Ifstened to. HIS MAGNANIMITY.—I remember say- ing to him one day, after I had seen him walking arm in arm with a man who had injured him, who had been abusing him: “! think you are Carrying the doctrine of for- giveness too far.’’ He said: “Pond, can we go further than to bless those who curse us and pray for those who despitefully use us? Ah, there is so little known of the spirit of Christ in the world that when a man is trying feebly and afar off to follow him even Christians do not understand it.”’ EMMA ABBOTT. | HER THIRST FOR NOTORIETY.—Mr. Beecher's lecture was about half through when something happened. The attention of the audience was attracted to the front of the house. All of a sudden there came walking down the center aisle Miss Emma Abbott in her Juilet make-up and wig, the train fairly sweeping the aisle. _ curred. BEING REMINISCENCES OF THE “POND LILIES." Walking down to the orchestra rail, she turned and walked in front of the audi- ence to the box which was on the left of the stage, and which she might easily have reached by the side aisle without obser- vation. After the great wave of interruption had spent itself, Mr. Beecher continued his lec- ture to the end, when Miss Abbott leaped from the box and rushed to Mr. Beecher, in whose church in Brocklyn she had formerly sung, exclaiming: “Dear Mr. Beecher, how do you do? You must excuse my Jullet makeup and dress and wig. I felt that I must see you, and I rushed from the opera over here without changing my dress, fearing I shou!d miss you.”’ She had not seen o'clock. the theater since 5 P. T. BARNUM. HIS ECONOMY.—The day he arrived at Boston I met him and Mrs. Barnum, his new young wife, at the station. Each had small handbags I started to pilot them to a carriage. Mr. Barnum said: “We will walk to the Parker House. It is not necessary to go to the expense of & carriage.”’ RALPH WALDO EMERSON. HIS LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCE.—AS he began reading his lecture the audience was very attentive. After a few mo- ments he lost his place and his granddaugh- ter, sitting in the front row of seats, gent- ly stepped toward him and reminded him that he was lecturing. He saw at once that he was wandering, and with the most charming, characteristic, apologetic bow, he resumed his place, an incident that seemed to affect the audience more than anything that could possibly have oc- A few minutes later he took @ piece of manuscript in his hand and, turn- ing around with it, laid it on a side table. He probably had been speaking about fif- teen minutes. The audience passed out, many of them in tears. WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE. HIS INTEREST IN AMERICA.—On two cecasions I breakfasted with Mr. Gladstone at his Harly street house, He was interest- ed in my stories of Western frontier life and asked if I had any objections to having a stenographer sit behind a screen and take down the stories.” When once seated at the table somehow, / was 1 o'clock when we. roee from. the tebe, how He said: “Major Pond, F cannot teli you interesting your visit has been to me. [ thank you for it.’ The reporter was con- cealed behind a screen very near. I have looked for the stories in print but I never found them. “IAN MACLAREN?” (DR. WAT- SON). HIS APPETITE.—It was after 8 when we reached the hotel. The clerk told us we could get nothing to eat, but the doctor rushed to the dining-room and made a loud noise on the door, which was opened by a man in evening dress. “I must have some food right away!” the doctor repeated, and rushed by the man to a table where were the remains of the dinner of the latest comer. He attacked it, and the head waiter tried to stop proceedings, but the doctor kept right on. SIR EDWIN ARNOLD. HIS MEMORY.—One evening in my lt- brary Sir Edwin was reclining on a lounge. ‘I was holding a rare volume of Shaks- peare, which he had been admiring and passed to me. “Now, major,” said he, “give the first line from any scene, at ran- dom, and I'll give you the whole scene.” I gave him a line from one of the least known of the plays and, to my astonish- ment, he recited the entire scene. F, MARION CRAWFORD. HIS COOLNESS.—One night tn San Fran- cisco, after having returned from Oakland, we were seated in the grillroom of the Palace Hotel, our supper partly finished, engaged in conversation, when I suddenly sald: “Mr. Crawford, are we in the dining car? See how these dishes are dancing.”’ Mr. Crawford pulled out his watch and said: “It's an earthquake, Majar! Don’t be frightened. I’ve been in fifty of them. It will only last twenty seconds.”’ MATTHEW ARNOLD. HIS INAUDIBILITY.—Matthew Arnold stepped forward, opened out his manu- script, laid it on the desk and his lips be- gan to move. There was not the slightest sound audible from where I stood. After a few minutes Gen. Grant said to Mrs. Grant: “‘Well, wife, we have paid to see the British lion; we cannot hear him roar, so we had better go home.” They left the hall. I ZANGWILL. HIS VIGILANCE FOR “NO. 1L”-—It seemed almost impossible to come to any kind of understanding with Zangwill. He thought that there was a great public wait- ing for him over here, and I also thought so to a considerable extent. But he couldn't | understand why he should come over to America and draw great crowds and I get a third of the profits from his earnings, 80 nothing was definitely settled at that inter view. WALT WHITMAN, HIS MEETING WITH ARNOLD.--Sir Edwin asked Whitman if he should not re- cite from memory some of the Iatter’s gems. Sir Edwin then stood up, when he was asked to recite a portion of Walt Whit- man’s verse on the death of Lincoln. “Come early and soothing Death.

Dear Mr. Pond: I am much obliged to you for your letter, but I can’t say that I can see my way to the ententement you propose. There is such a thing as paying 1% cents for a dollar, and though I suppose thets is money in the lecturing business, it seems- to me that the bother, the fuss, the being at everybody's beck and call, the night journeys and so on, make it very dear. I've seen a few men who lived through the fight, but they did not look happy. I might do ‘t as soon as I had two mortgages on my house, a lien on the horses and a Dill of sale on the furniture and writer’s cramp in both hands, but at present I'm busy and contented to go on with the regular writing business.

SUNDAY MORNING—8T. LOUIS. POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER 9, 1900. WASHINGTON CELEBRATES WASHINGTON, Des. 8. Special Correspondence of the Sundsy Post-Dispatch. 7 EXT Wednesday being the centennial anniversary of the transfer of the seat of government from Philadel- phia to Washington, the day will be ob- served here with ceremonies befitting its im- portance. President McKinley will receive at the White House the governors of states and territories, and in their presence Col. Theo- adore A. Bingham, U. 8. A., will uncover a model of the proposed new White House, and will deliver an address upon the his- tory of the executive mansion, which is now 100 years old. In other waye throughout the city the cen- tennial of the capital will be observed, rep- resentative men from all parts of the coun- ‘try having co-operated in the preparation of a patriotic program. The story of the establishment and growth of the city of Washington is of interest to every American. It is fa record of tedious delays and clashes in the early stages, dis- aster in time of war, and wonderful growth as the infant nation grew toward maturity. The federal government's three branches, executive, legislative and judiciary, were removed from Philadelphia to the hew cap!- tal city the first Monday in December, 1800. Gruff old John Adams was then President. Mrs. Adams joined in the general grumbling and repining at the change from the com- fortable Quaker City to the wilderness. The federal archives were loaded on a sloop and brought around by the Potomac river, and the same sloop carried many government » clerks and a number of the officials, The passengers were set down in what they re- garded as an unwholesome swamp, beyond the confines of civilization. ‘ The Capitol was in an unfinished state, When Congress assembled, only a few of the members could find board and lodging in the federal city itself. For several sessions the old Union Tavern at Georgetown swarmed with senators and representatives who could find no quarters in Washington. There wére plenty of streets here at that time, but very few houses. The city had been laid ot on a large scale, but the seat ef government was removed hither before Washington became a city except in prom- ises. . ‘It was In those early days that the Por- tuguese minister, Serra, in mockery, called Washington “the city of magnificent dis- tances,’’ a sobriquet of which today every American is proud. When one learns that among the names -seriously proposed for the new city was “Washingtonapolis,” it is easy to under- stand how the early visitor from abroad took delight in ridiculing the place. The constitution provided for the estab- lishment of a capital city, outside the limit of all the states, but until 1788 nothing was done toward fulfilling this provision. In that year the legislature of Maryland passed an act to cede to the United States a district ten miles square for the seat of government. The next year the Virginia legislature passed an act of simliar im- port. In those days the South predominated in the councils of the nation. It was natural that a southern site should be chosen; and, furthermore, a location somewhere on the Potomac was desirable, because that was near the center of the country as then con- stituted. George Washington*had much to do with Selecting the site of the city which bears his name. He was a land surveyor, and. he personally superintended the first sur- vey of the site, coming up the river in a canoe hollowed out cf a@ log. There was a wrangle in Congress, then sitting at New York, over the selection of the site. New Engiland’s representatives knew they had no chance to secure the lo- cation of the capital, and George Thatcher of Massachusetts declared that it did not matter two dollars whether Congress sat at New York, Philadelphia or on the Poto- mac. Nevertheless, Thomas Jefferson told a story of a dinner party at the house of Alexander Hamilton, at Which certain New England representatives effected a ‘‘deal’’ with congressmen from the South, the New Englanders agreeing to vote for the. south- ern location if the southerners would vote to reimburse the New England states for certain expenses incurred during the war for independence. The Senate bill in favor of the Potomae site was passed and President George Washington signed it July 16, 179%. Atuch was left to the President's discretion. The area of his choice extended 105 miles along the bending Potomac, The act authorized him to appoint three commissioners to sur- vey an@ plot the federal district, to acquire lands by purchase or by gift, and to pro- vide suitable buildings for the accommo- dation of Congress and for the public of- fices of the government prior to the first Monday in December, 3800. Washington appointed Thomas Johnson of Maryland, Daniel Carroll of Mary.and and* David Stuart of Virginia. The tract 10 miles square accepted from the states of Maryland and Virginia was laid out, the sites for the public bulldings were chosen and then the real difficulties grose. The matter of acquiring freehold titlcys io the land owned by private individuals was quite different from accepting the tecrito- rial title from the two states. “The ob- Stinate Mr. Burns,” a Scotchman who owned 640 acres of land and grew tobucco where the commissioners proposed to lay ouf the site of the city, became a serious Stumbling block. Washington was unable to persuade him to sell his land, no mat- ter what inducements were offered. Burns even taunted Washington to his face witia having risen from nothing through the ac- quisition of “the Widow Custis and her nizg- gers.’’ Washington is said to have talked back to Burns with emphasis. Finally others came to the aid of the Fa- ther of His Country and the godfather o% his country's capjtal. Burns agreed to sell, and on the 30th of March, 1791, 19 landowners signed an agreement transferring’ their property. Major Peter Charles L’Enfant, a French officer who ¢ame over with Lafayette, was the engineer appointed to draw the plans for the new city.

It is supposed that Admiral Cockburn in- cited the troops to pile tar barrels in the halls of Congress and apply the match. Congress met in the Supreme Court build- ing until the present capitol was built. The splendid structure of the present day was begun in 1818 under the direction of Charles Bulfinch, but it was not fin- ished -until 1863, in the midst of the Civil war. Im 1827 the new capitol was sufficiently built for temporary purposes, and was occupied. In 1851 the corner stone of the extensions was laid. Thomas Crawford's statue of liberty was placed upon the cen- tral dome, 300 feet ffom the ground, Dec. 2, 1863, thus completing the magnificent structure. The burning of the capitol by the Brit- ish. was regarded’ as a national calamity at the time, though it is quite probable that the original structure, inadequate to the needs of Congress, would have been the ocasion of a long-drawn-out debate as to a new building had it not been burned. The centennial of the capital city, {it is understood, will mark the definite begin- ning of a larger and improved White House. The present executive mansion has been occupied 100 years. In all that time it has not been enlarged. John Adams had but 32 Senators to entertain in the White House. William McKinley has 90 Senators to attend his receptions, in the same rooms. The total cost of the White House, in- cluding repairs and furnishings, has been about $2,000,000. Last May Congress ap- propriated $6000 for preliminary architectur- al work in the matter of remodeling the President’s dwelling, and Col. Bingham’s model is awaited with much interest. It embodies the present White House, un- altered and standing out in conspicuous re- Nef. Colonel Bingham combines his crig- inal ideas with Mrs. Harrison's scheme for an enlarged mansion, with wings. Mrs. Harrison's plans, as worked by F. D. Owen, an architect connected with Colonel! Bing- ham's office, comprise two new buildings like the old one, but placed at right angles thereto and connected by colonnades or wings. The mode] to be shown at the White House will include only these connecting wings added to the White House as it now appears. The larger buildings can be added at a later date whenever Congress sees fit. The connecting wings will be compiete in themselves until such future improve- ments are made, Their exterior architect- ure, as shown in the model, is In the form of cclonnades sweeping around to the rear, with Ionic columns similar to these that support the main portico, .Behind these may be seen a curved extension of the orig- inal White House walls. At the extremity of each colonnade wing will be shown a new entrance with a porte cochere facing square- ly south. The wings will be two stories in height, their columns extending to the top all around, The new wings will be divided into various apartments by temporary partitions, which may be removed to afford a clear space when the larger additions are built to com- plete Mrs. Harrison's scheme o? utilizing each colonnade wing as a passageway, witi central rotunda, for reaching the greater adjuncts. The extension on the west side of the new model is designated as the “of- ficial wing, that on the east the “public wine.” In the latter and extending from the east room will be a new recep- tion room and ample office apartments con- necting with those now on the second floor. Provision is also made for a new circular state dining room sixty feet tn diameter in the west or “‘official wing.”” On the sec- ond floor of this will be provided five ad- ditional bed rooms. a mT ~e22TO DAYSs*~ OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE IS HONORED IN MEXICO. +o oeoeeoeoeoeoeo+oeooeose The Strange Story of This American Saint Told By a Missouri Girl Who Taught School in the Land Where the Legend of the Holy Woman Endures. ISS MINNIE DAVIS of Brunswick, M Mo., has written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch the following inter- esting story of Guadalupe, the patroness saint of Mexico, the annual celebration of whose feast begins today. Several years of Miss Davis’ life have been passed ag’an instructor in Palmore College in Mexico, and she has visited the city of Guadalupe, the birthplace of the tradition of the patroness, and where the principal temple to her is maintained. She was there during the celebration of the feast in 1899, Miss Davis is a daughter of the late John Davis, for many years a prominent lawyer and politician of central Missouri, and is a stster of James W. Davis, who represented Chariton County in the Legislature in 1896-97. By MISS MINNIE DAVIS. ONIGHT a million lights will sparkle 7 all over the Republic of Mexico. The vast cathedrals will be brilliant with row after row of electric bulbs, the littie chapels aglow with their hundreds of can- dies, and great lines of Nght will stretch away out in the mountains where the In- dians are keeping watch and chanting prayers to the Mother of God. Strange scenes there will be in each Mex- ican town and village. Long burro trains with curious packs will wind in from the mountains. Half-clad Indians in bright blankets will make the long journeys on foot. For will not tomorrow be the day of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico, and has not Our Lady brought many blessings to Mexican homes? Have not gifts been promised for each special blessing, and is not this the day of fulfillment? The only ewe lamb, promised when little Diego was sick almost unto death, but was restored; the pound of candles, promised when the flood did not quite reach the house; the costly pieces of ore and the ex- quisite opals—all must be offered up a aome shrine today. The heart and soul of the nation will be centered in the little village of Guadalupe- Hidaldo, two and a half miles from, the city of Mexico. Here, Dec. 9, 1531, a peor uniettered Indian named Juan Diego, go- ing to hear mass, heard celestial music and | peheld a beautiful lady arrayed in scarlet robes and burnished gold, “Juan Diego,” said the lady, “I have a great work for thee. Hasten to the bishop and tell him é#shat it is my will for him to bulld a great temple upon this spot.” ‘Juan was received coldly by the bishop, who considered him carried away by re- ligious zeal, He returned home and spent the night in prayer, The following morning jie again started to mass. Again he was eago life. accosted by the lady and commanded to carry the message to the bishop. This time his story impressed the bishop, but Juan was told to bring a sign whereby the prelate might surely know that he had beheld the angel. Juan returned home and found his uncle sick unto death. Going for the priest to come and shrive his-soul, the Indian met the mysterious lady. He begged her not to detain him, telling her of his kinsman’s illness. She assured him that from that hour his uncle was restored to health and that she would ever be the patroness of the Indians of New Spain. He begged for a sign, and from the bar- ren rocks sprang beautiful roses. The lady commanded him to gather them and carry them to the bishop. Ho gathered them in his serape, and as she turned to leave him a spring of water burst from the hillside, which ever since has been for the healing of the nations. When Juan opened his serape to show the roses to the bishop he discovered, to his amazement, that they had been trans- formed into a beautiful image of the Lady of Guadalupe, stamped upon the cloth, This _ anew HM - ee ee . -— of the Lady.

Just outside the curio vendors drive close bargains in crucifixes and rosaries, and the shrill cries from the hot-tamale and tortilla stands are heard. Altogether it makes a picture of Mexican life that burrows in the memory. — eee ot ee eee ee a nee ee ———— CHICAGO PREACHER READS INS STALLMENTS oF ii oF iis NOVEL INSTEAD OF SERMONS.

LL sporting England—and that em- braces most of the greatest person- ages in the kingdom—unites in hom- age to a brace of attenuated American boys who would be lost under the elbows of a crowd and whose combined weight is oniy 182 pounds. In some cases it may be a grudging hom- age—grudging from patriotic motives or because of a latent feeling that Lord Dur- ham is right in believing that the English turf has deteriorated from the Invasion of Richard Croker and other merely money- making American owners with their fol- lowing.

It is true that an English Loates, between with second place, but that does not dim the triumph of America and of the tribe of Reiff.

Sam Loates, the dethroned English idol of the turf, could show no better than 137 out of 807 mounts. Jolhnny Relff, the third in the list, rode 124 nite out of 601 mounts.

The fact that on the American turf not so long ago he was suspended for crooked riding is either net known to his English admirers them. What English ptbpularity means to a jockey in England cannot be comprehend- ed by Americans unless they have seen it. Racing in Eng'and is on a much higher plane socially than racing in America. It is considered disgraceful to look upon the owning of race horses as « business. Fine ladies vie with princes and noblemen in honoring it as the greatest of sports.

The quality of that simplicity may be judged by this letter written by Johnny Reiff a few months ago to his mother in Toledo, O.: “Dear Mother: I will write you a few lines and let you know how I am getting along. Did you have much fun on the Fourth of July? There were races at New- market that day, and so I wore an Ameri- can flag and so did Lester. Lester rod¢ a race in his, but I did not.

He now stands in the relation of guide, philosopher and deferential friend to his richer and more famous little broth- ers. Lester and Johnny, sons of a blacksmith, have saved something like $200,000 out of their winnings in England and ‘soaked it away,” as they express it, in the Bank of England. On a visit home last year they bought a plece of property near the home of their parents. They will return to this country next month, and after spending Christmas at home will go to Paris for a winter's schooling. Both lads are eager for an edueation. The dawn of the spring rac- ing in Eng:and will find them ready to make another attempt to lower the colors of En- gland's jockeys. Both have abandoned the short stirrup straps and other extreme points of the American style of riding-and have learned to rely on a cautious comprémise between the English and American styles. They have\taught English jockeys many tricks at the starting post, and it is no longer a sure thing that one of the Reiffs will get away in the lead. One of the most sensational of their per- formances this the opening day at Goodwind, when between them they year was on won every race. Unlike English jockeys, they ride out ev- ery race to a finish, glad to capture any place if first and second are denied them. There was one race in which both rode. backed heavily, and to have much Lester's mount was Johnny was thought chance. A short distance from home Les- ter was well in the lead, and his backers were already counting their winnings, when out of the bunch shot Johnnie, clinging like a monkey to the neck of his horse. And Johnny won by a nose, after one of the not hardest finishes seen that season. Johnny Reiff, when he was riding for John A. Drake of Chicago, fell under &c- cusation of wrongdoing, together with hig employer. The Jockey Club stewards heid an investigation, but were unable to prove anything against the little fellow and re- turned a sort of Scotch verdict of “not proven.” And now Lester Reiff is under fire in con- nection with his riding of Croker’s horses. There is a strong feeling in England that the curtailment of the Tammany boss’ rac- ing career would be a distinct benefit to the English turf. The elder Reiff is charged with having pulled Scotchman HI in the in- tefests of his employer, and the stewards took the unprecedented step of demanding the production of Mr. Croker’s betting book. So far as a betting book could be relied on to prove anything, it proved that if Mr. Croker bet against his own horse he did | not make a note of it in that record.

But that money, the entire estate of the dead guerrilla ehieftain, never reached the mother who, in-fact, did not receive actual proof of His death until after, his dust had slept ten years in: the Catholic ‘Cemetery at Louisville, Ky. | Everybody at Canal Dover and fn the sur- rounding ‘country knows Mrs. ‘Quantrell, and all the old residents knew Clark Quan- trell, her'son. Here he ts known as Clark, not as William C. Quantrell, the name by which history paints him as the man of blood, the esthetic, almost effeminate school teacher who, in the wild whirl and havoc of the red. wattime on the border, was suddenly and inexplicably transformed into a demon, a ruthiess rough rider, charging through Kansas and Missouri! towns and villages, leaving. behind a swath of slain and whole streets of bereaved homes. Mother Quantrell, however, refuses to ac- cept history's estimate of her eldest son. “or % vears she has steadfastly defended his. memory against the attacks of nis ac- cusers, Kven now, a ward of her late husband's fraternal order, two years past fourscore, she belleves that Clark Quantrell was by mo means the murderous bandit which many consider him. “Clark was always a good boy,”’ Mother Quautrell. ‘‘He was very, good to me. He never forgot his old mother. Why, he sent me money all the time he was away from home, even while he w2s a Confederate soldier. He always divided his pay with me... He was kind and noble. . And the mother speaks truly as to the guerrilla “‘dividing his pay’’ with her, for it is a fact well known to the old citizens of thig town that Clark Quantrell quite fre- quentivy sent money to his mother, even after his name becamé a household terror Says very i in the Southwest, after his band had sacked Lawrence and Olathe and killed nearly every male resident in those towns. Sixty-four years ago Mrs. Quantrell came to Canal Dover. a pretty bride, from Ha- gerstown, Md., where she had grown up. Thomas Quantrell, a young school teacher, wooed and won the girl, whose name was Caroline Clark. The young couple passed their. honeymoon in a wagon, one of the early “prairie schooners,” driving overland to Ohio. They settled at Canal Dover In 1836, when Lis town was new. Thomas Quantrell became the first principal of the local public schools. In a modest little home, with vines grow- ing over the windows, their first child was born, }July 31, 1837. They named him Will- iam/Clark. Thomas Qnantrell, who held his position as school yilincipal until his death in 1804, was naturaily a man of consequence in Canal Dover. In those days the school- master was. a more important personage than at present. Quantrell’s superior edu- cation made him a citizen of note, to whom all questions of general dispute were re- ferred for settlement. He was to the people of that day what-the daily newspaper is to those of the present. He was Sir Oracle. » Mark Quantrell “took after’ his father, as the venerable survivor of the Western. Reserve period puts it. He was studious, unassuming, quiet, caring much more for books than for society. Young Quantrell had a neighborhood repu- tation as a poet.* He wrote verses—crude, but creditable for a Buckeye youth whose life had been passed in a small town. Some of these verses are still preserved here, written shortly before the author quit his native town and went to live in Kansas, in the dark days of border warfare, before the Civil war began. Clark Quantrell himself was a country school teacher in this neighborhood in his youth. Before completing his 28th year the guer- rilla son of this devoted mother died in the Louisville Military Hospital, June 6, 1865, from a bullet wound received in a fight with Federal guerrillas under Capt. Edward Terrell. He died under an assumed name, though, as stated, his last request was that the $800 in gold be sent to his mother. With the death of the guerrilla chieftain the struggles of his mother began. Her youngest son, Thompson, had run away from home at the age of 20, and she heard from him only at long itntervals. Ten years ago he wrote his last letter, and since then the neighbors here. have believed him dead, but the aged mather pathetically clings to the conviction that he is alive =— ¥ and some day will return to her. Thomas Quantrell died an Odd Feliow in good standing. When the wolf howied at the door of his aged widow, years ago, there were certain Odd Fellows who held that she should be provided for by the order. But there were others—this is Ohio, not Mississippi—who could not forget that this mild-mannered woman had borre a son who became a hated Confederate guer- rilla, a man whd slashed and slew his way through several states—and a son of Ohio at that! This they could not forgive. Yet the fact that Thomas Quantrell had been a true Odd Fellow swunx the pen- dulum in his widow's favor, and from time to time aid was doled out to her grudg- ingly. “If I had the $800 in gold which my boy Clark left to me,”’ she has been known to say, “I should not be compelled to accept this lodge help.’’ But the disposition of the guerrilla’s gold is one of those dark secrets of the war. Mrs. Quantrell struggled on, and man- aged to get along until a year or so ago. Then, as old as Queen Victoria, but wid- owed and childless, she sank into the direst poverty. The Odd Fellows of Ohio began to learn more as to her needs, and at last they ¢ce- cided to admit her to the home. So she was taken to Springfield this week and began her new life, so different from that which she contemplated as her closing days when she came to Canal Dover so many years ago with the Maryland bloom upon her cheeks—love and lifé before her.

There is little hope for his recovery. Halley was born at Frankfort, Ky., and is 598 years old. He came to Missouri in 1856 and in 1861 joined Quantrell. During the time he was with the band the town of Lawrence was sacked and burned, and battles at Lone Jack and other places oc- curred, Halley then went into Price's army. When Halley came to the state from Kentucky he was only a boy, but he had inherited the bravery of a long line of Kentuckians.

He was just of age when the war vroke out, and as Weston was Quantrell’s stamping ground for a time, it was only natural that he should go with the brilliant leader. He was in jail, guarded by Jennison’s men, when Quantrell rescued him. In after days Halley did not talk freely on his life with Quantrell, but he told many incidents of guerrilla warfare that have never been related by others. He has often said that the brutality accredited to Quantrell was erroneous, and has always defended the leader of that band. Halley was one of the best shots with ‘Quantrell and kept up his practice with the revolver until very recently. He had many occa- sions to prove his skill while on the police force.

There appeared to be no way of es- cape, as they were outnumbered ten to one. They took refuge in a small grove and waited for darkness to come. When night set in they rode through the lines of the soldiers, fighting as they went, and not one of them received a wound. After making their escape they returned and en- gaged a squad of the soldiers again in battle, killing and wounding several of them. ‘“‘We had no use for spies then,’’ Halley said onte, when relating an incident of his fighting days. ‘‘l remember once when we were camped in the timber and there was a noise among the horses.

They were brothers and begged they had and had many narrow escapes. hard for their lives when they knew they !_— were to be shot. They were killed at daylight the next morning. I did not shoot them—I felt sorry for them.”’ Halley rejoined Quantrell before the close of the war and was with him when he re- ceived his death wound. It was Halley who went with him to Kentucky, hid him away there and remained with him until he died. Halley afterward wrote tu Quantrell’s mother, informing her of her son's death. During the 12 years he was on the police force Halley was known as one of the best and oravest officers. He feared nothing, and when he had a revolver in his hand would go anywhere. When the dummy train was sent out on the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Road a few years azo to meet the robbers at Roy’s Branch, Halley was one of the men in the express car, and fired the first shot, killing one of the robbers. Since he left the police force Halley has lived with his brother, who is a fireman, ATC i et OTE OE RA A Ee Sw LIAM HALLEY . and has not followed any occupation.

There is iittle or no hope that he will ever come out again alive. His relatives have ‘visited him there, and believe they have seen him for the last time. Since Halley has been in the hospital one of his old comrades has pald him a visit. The man was a stranger, but was admitted to the hospital on his request to see Halley. The insane man looked at the visitor ateadily a long time, and then the light of recognition broke over his face. He called him by his first name and grasped his hands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. IGANTIC Of stature, swarthy of skin, t; accomplished of manner, martial in carrtage, romantic and impulsive of temperament is Robert W. Wilcox, the na- > tive Aawalian who l@s just been elected as the grst delegate to Congress from that territory. His titles are as numerous as the names of a Spanish baby. First it was lieutenant in the royal artillery of Italy; later it was sub-lieutenant in the Italian navy. Further on in his career we find him a major in King Kalakaua’'s army, and after that mon- arch was dethroned he still held his com- mission under Queen Liliuokalanl. Still later the title of Prince Vilicochi was conferred upon him. When the monarchical government was overthrown Wilcox became the first gover- nor, Each party he has followed, or led, as seemed most propitious. The latest honor conférred upon him is a seat in the United States Congress. It is @ significant fact that Wilcox should be victorious in this fight when it is well known that he had been a bitter opponent of the annexation of Hawaii. Wilcox was born Feb. 15, 1855, at Mauri, one of the islands of Hawailj. His father. William 3. Wilcox of Newport, R. LL, was a ship carpenter. His mother was a black Kanaka—a native Hawailan. He attended an American missionary school. on the island. Here. he formed an intimate friendship with James Kanevola Booth, the illegitimate son of King Dav'd Kalakaua. The boys grew up to early manhood together and while treachery and intrigue were common in the King’s court they walked on the sandy begeh and dream- ed of a future when they could lead the army and strengthen the throne. Then~Wlileox conceived an idea, At his suggestion Booth pleaded with his unac- knowledge’ father that the two boys be sent to sdme European military school tv prepare for a great future. King Kala- kana acquiesced and appointed his prime minister, Don Cesar Celso Moreno, as his ambassidor to Italy and placed the two- lads under his charge. In 1881 Moreno placed them in the Royal Military Acad- emy at,Turin, In 1582 the boys obtained ad- mission tothe Military College, and tn 1885 were graduated and received the commis- sion of sub-lHeutenants In the navy. While serving as an lialian officer, Wil- _ ox developed a romantic ‘“‘affaire de coeur.” He met and loved the beautiful ~ 'Princet @obrero di Stigiiano, niece Marco Colonna di Stigliano, who is now the son-in-law of Mrs. J. W. Mackay. Well he knew that the princess would never give her hand toa plebeian by birth, if not by education and rank. Pride was her strongest characteristic, and to her pride he appealed. Princess Gina had youth, beauty, wealth, ambition and love of romance. The dash- ing officer, in his strength and youth, ful- filled her ideas of'a chevalier. One thing was lacking, and this void Wilcox found a means of filling. ’ A prince he would be! from Hawaii! He was stationed at Naples. Minister Moreno was in Turin. Young Booth was on the sea. Who was to dispute the word of the officer—he of the noble mien and princely accomplishments. Wilcox wooed and won the royal beajity, and with pride and confidence sailed with her for his native land. A bloodless revolution had taken place in Honolulu. The missionary party had overpowered the King and taken charge of the administration. It was then that Wil- cox was recalled. He was the idol of his people. Those who did not admire him feared him. All came beneath the spell of his influenc@ save Cina, the fair princess. She droopéd be- neath the weight of shame when she dils- covered that she had not married a prince but the son of a white carpenter and a black woman. ‘ A court of admirers had Wilcox, but she whose love he craved above all steeled her heart. In 1889 Princess Gina deserted Wrtl- eox and came to America. Wilcox traced his fair consort to San Francisco. She would have nothing to do with him. Sur- rounded by her servants, she withdrew from the world. She occupied apartments in the Grand Central Hotel, and rarely was her lovely face seen by the crowds who watched for a glimpse of the princess, There she gave birth to a daughter—the only child of the union. For days the mother’s life was despaired of. When she grew stronger, at her urgent request the baby was brought to her. The child, as often happens, had harked back to the type of its grandmother. Negro blood showed in it unmistakably. The princess almost ravel in delirium when she discovered this. She begged that the child be taken from her sight for- ever. Death claimed the tiny bit of humanity and the young mother, more relieved than grieved, fied to Italy. In 189% Pope Leo annulled the marriage. However, no divorce was granted until last August, when the Court of Turin rendered to the princess a legal separation from Wlicox on the ground of polygamy. For in the meantime, In 1896, he had married the Prinéess Theressa Owana Kaohelejani, a descendant of the house cf Keona, the father of Kamehameha the Great. Two A royal scion children. were born of this union—Prince Roberto Keona and the Princess Virginia Kaihkapumahana. On July 30, 1889, Wilcox rebelled against the ‘‘missionary government” with a fol- lowing of natives whose object was to put King Kalakaua again on the throne as a kine and not a helpless puppet king. Wilcox succeeded one morning, with a few armed men, in taking possession of the government buildings, but Kalakaua’s courage failed. He deserted his stanch- est supporter and ordered his soldiers not to do anything to assist the young insur- rectionist. Wilecox's ‘‘missionary would have riflemen, succeeded and his force. It few arms and the learning that. they of the king’s 600 in capturing Wilcox took the 6500 all one day to compel a surrender from Wilcox and eight men, who were concealed in a wooden bungalow of the king. Wilcox had a jury trial. The twelve men in the box were his countrymen, and they dismissed him, declaring the King also a factor in the revolution. men had party,’ the’ support prmcess GINA SOBRERO a DI STIGLIAUS, In 1890 the Wilcox party won In the Leg- islature and the “missionary party’ was driven out, but the King, who now had an opportunity to accomplish a coup d'etat, appointed a weak cabinet. Too late he saw his blunder and sailed to San Francisco, where he died from down-heartedness. Queen. Liliuokalani in 1898 was dethroned by United States Minister Stevens, Capt. Willtse and the marines of the cruiser Bos- ton. Then Wliicox swore allegiance to the Queen and in 1895 joined her revolution. Mr. Wilcox has been the most unrelent- ing enemy of the missionaries. When Lilt MAN FROM HAWAIL uokalani upset them Wilcox fought, with peals of Turin has branded him as a polyg- her. When she surrendered to them he waged war against. her. In 1896 Wilcox was instrumental in a re- bellion against the Dole regime and kept that government in terror for several weeks. Finally he was captured and con- demned to death, and it was only through the influence of President Cleveland and Congress that the Dole government com- muted the sentence to 35 years’ ‘imprison- ment and $10,000 fine. He was soon par- doned. ' Don Cesar Celso Moreno is now in the United States. It was he who took Wilcox and the King’s son to Italy. Strangely enough, it was not until the court learned that Wilcox had married the princess under false pretenses and later committed poly- gamy that Mr. Moreno knew that Wilcox had deceived the people into believing him to be a prince. “Tt has taken me 21 years to learn this man,’’ says the old prime minister. ‘I, who prided myself on my judgment, have been deceived. “I have known Wilcox since he was a CE \) 7 .

I looked on with satisfaction when I saw friends around him. “His appearance and ability surpassed that of any other boy I knew, and whgn he won Princess Gina I belleved it to pe his personal attraction which had acconiplished this.”’ The white-haired statesman bowcd his head for a moment and then continued: ‘Twenty-one years it has taken mie to learn Wilcox as he is, The Court of Ap- amist, and were he now in Iialy he would be sentenced to five years in the peniten- tiary. “I am very sorry that I have lived long enough to learn this. “After I acquired this knowledge I learned from Wilcox that he was the accomplice of Liliuokalani in trying to bring about her restoration to the throne. “Wilcox has told me that if Congress should give money to Liliuvokalani = she would use it to buy arms to prepare a re bellion.”’ With such a varied, adventurous career, behind him, Robert W. Wileox comes to America once more in the name of his na- tive land. He comes with the record of having been the most persistent opponent of American influence in the islands. It seems as if his experience with the princess had embit- tered him against the white race. the “missionary party's” utmost efforts, and he owes them no thanks and no alle- giance.

T OUIS POST-DISPATCH _DECEMBER 9, 1900. — ’ An Experiment in Food Conducted by Dr. Cyrus Edson for the Sunday Post-Dispatch on an Ap- proved Subject. NEW YORK, Dec. 5. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HE new food—the “emergency ration” é fi —has been tested for the Sunday Post-Dispatch by Dr. Cyrus Edson and by James J. Kane, a young man whose interest in science led him to undertake to live on the food for one week. Mr. Kane lost seven pounds in one week. Fie bore the experiment cheerfully, but suf- fered a loss of vitality. The “emergency ration” has lately been adopted for use in the United States Army. Tt has been experimented with in the Ger- man army, where it is known in military slang as the “iron ration.’” The English army is coquetting with it. Miners take it to Alaska. The Dutch in South Africa have something like it in their ‘‘biltong.”’ But it is an emergency ration—not a per- manent diet. The Sunday Post-Dispatch experiments prove that. The emergency ration is the most com- pact form of food yet devised to meet the emergencies of campaigning, of hunters and travelers in wild places. The rations comprise more than enough wholesome food to sustain life preserved in very compact form and more or less appe- tizing. The new food is composed of cooked meat, vegetables and wheat dried and com- pressed. Enough sweetened tea to make two quarts, and some salt and pepper are included with each day’s rations. The food necessary to feed a man for one day is packed in a tin can and hermetically sealed. A man can readily carry several days’ ra- tions without inconvenience. It is often of the utmost importance for soldiers on the firing line to be able to get regular mezls without the trouble or danger of building a fire and preparing food. One of its great advantages is that it may be prepared in a few minutes in half a dozen fcrms. It may be cooked and served as a@ soup, a porridge, as a well-browned hash or as Hamburger steak. The rations are carefully prepared. In the factory at Passaic, N. J., which was visited by the SundayPost-Dispatch’s repre- sentative, every part of the establishment was found as neat as any kitchen. The food used is of the best quality. A large room is inclosed in wire netting to keep off the flies. The meat is first cooked. The vege- tables include onions for their savor, peas for their nutrition and potatoes. After these ingredients have been cooked they are placed in ovens, where they are kept for hours to draw all the moisture from them. The next step is to compress the food into the smallest bulk. A powerful press is em- ployed to compress it into the little tablets familiar to the soldiers. The preperation of the emergency ration is simple. It is only necessary to boil it for five minutes to make a savory porridge. A few minutes more of cooking will serve to brown it into hash. The tea contained in each ration is sweetened, reduced to pow- der and pressed into a small cake. The food {is coarse and flaky, making it necessary to chew it well before swallowing. An exhaustive test of the new army ration was conducted in New York for the Sun- day Post-Dispatch. A young man of nor- mal health and physical condition was fed on nothing but the rations for a week. The test was conducted by Dr. Cyrus Ed- son, whoa made careful daily examinations. The subject, Mr. James J. Kane, is a clerk by profession, accustomed to a sedentary life. The experiment was in- teresting, since it was conducted in a city and the daily life of the subject was iden- tical with that of the average city man. The “emergency” was created for him. Mr. Kane was comfortably housed during the experiment at Redner’s Hotel, Forty- Second street and Lexington avenue. He was watched throughout the test by a Sunday Post-Dispatch reporter, who sat with him while he ate, accompanied him on all his walks and occupied an adjoin- ing room while he slept. The subject was fed on the emergency rations prepared in the kitchen of the hotel and served pri- vately. He walked from ten to twelve miles daily. In the Sunday Post-Dispatch test the sub- ject was kept for the first two days on a normal diet. He was carefully examined each day. After the experiment was fairly under way, Kane’s vitality seemed to ebb. His skin was slightly moist and clammy to the touch. His appetite fell off, his pulse became slightly weaker and more variable under exertion. During the last five days of the test, while his diet was confled ex- clusively to the emergency rations, his weight declined nearly eight pounds. Throughout the he suffered no se- rious inconvenience. By JAMES J. KANE? HAVE eaten the ‘Emergency Rations’”’ for a week and I like them. It has been very little of a hardship. For the first few days I found the rations appe- tizing; later in the week they grew monot- onous, but never wholly distasteful. The test was far less of a strain than I had an- ticipated. I went itnto it with my mind made up to eat the stuff whether I liked it or not and it proved much more pleasant than I had anticipated. The soldiers whv have plenty of ‘““Emergency Rations’’ to eat do not, to say the least, need much sym- pathy. Yet it would not do for a steady diet. The prepared food, judging from its taste, contains a large percentage of meat and some onions. The other ingredients are not readily distinguished. It tastes for all the world like the hash one may get in the average dairy kitchen about New York, and, if anything, it is rather better. it seems to me more substantial and sus- aining. I liked it best prepared as a hash and browned to a crisp, but that is entire- ly a matter of taste. In order to make the experiment as com- test plete as possible, I took more exercise than I am in the habit of taking, at regular hours, and slept for ten hours each day. I believe I was less tired at the end of the day than I have often been after a day of my ordinary clerical work. I went to my meals with a fair appetite, often with a very good one. I slept like a top. 1 kept a diary throughout the test, which follows in condensed form: SATURDAY, NOV, 17: Began the day with substantial break- fast of chops, potatoes and coffee at the hotel Read morning papers for an hour. Walked up Fifth avenue to Seventy-second street and returned (five miles). Course dinner at hotel followed big five-mile walk in the afternoon. Examined by Dr. Edson at @p. m. Ate hearty dinner, waised two miles in the evening and retired at 9:30 p. m. SUNDAY, NOV. 18: Breakfast, eggs and fish at the hotel. Took six-mile walk down Fifth avenue to Washington Square and back to hotel. Ate big course dinner. Long walk in afternoon. Examined by Dr. Edson. Gained over three pounds. Supper, short walk, to bed 9:30. MONDAY, NOV. 19: Commenced diet of “emergency rations.’’ Ate full portion for breakfast in form of porridge, with cup of tea. Took usual walk of five miles. Dinner, consisting of rations prepared as Hamburger steak. Found it very appetizing. Usual walk In afternoon, followed by supper of “‘emergency” hash. Doctor’s examination shows no results as yet. Retired at 9:30. TUESDAY, NOV. 20: Slept well. Breakfast of porridge and tea. Regular five-mile morning walk. Felt no more tired than usual. Enjoyed dinner of ration served as Hamburger steak. Af- Bien AN ILLINOIS EDITOR’S SERMONS ¥ Collected FROM After Wears ol Ae TRIPOD. preciation HE In Egypt and Bound in a Book by the Author. OR a number of years the “Sermons F from the Tripod,” which Addison M. Brownlee, editor of the Standard, at Benton,Iil.,has been publishing in the weekly ~ issues of his paper, have been familiar to the people of Southern [I linois. Mr. Brownlee, encouraged by the kindly com- ment evoked, has gathered his secular ser- mons and is about to publish them in a bound volume. Egitor Brownlee usually takes for his text & quotation not to be found in the Scrip- tures, but evidently from a prior utterance of his own. He elaborates upon a homely phrase or sentiment, turning out a sermon in Which he manages to weave some val- uable advice to the reader. The Brownlee sermons may be called common-sense dis- courses, there being. nothing theological about them. They are such utterances as @ composite of Sam Jones, Bob Burdette and a third quality, unknown, might evolve. liere are some random extracts showing the homely wisdom of deliverances from the sanctum of a country editor in the Illinois Egypt: THE SERMONS.

FINAL OBSERVATION: While the experiment is but a rough test pounds; pulse, sitting, @; 76; pulse, after slight exer- on a single individual of the emergency rations, it enables us to draw important conclusions: 1. It is valuable for the specific purpose for which it is intended—as an emergency food to be used fn case of necessity only. It is well adapted for the end for which it is designed. It cannot be used success- fully as a regular dally ration for any ex- tended period. It might be used advan- tageously as a change of diet among troops for periods of one or two weeks. It is an excellent substitute for fresh food and pro- vides ample nutritive value to systain life. The gradual loss of weight In this case is probably due not alone to the diet but to the amount of exercise. The subject lived much in the open air and walked more than twelve miles each day. It ts prob- able that under an ordinary diet he would have lost two or three pounds, Had the diet been continued for several weeks the subject would have become ema- ene and unable to endure physical ex- ercise.

It is the art of talking while thinking of some- thing to say. The long-drawing of a word, &@ finger-shaking pause often gives the mind time to act.

Smiling faces, and if the predic- tions of the opposite party had been truc, you would not have—would not have wnat? You would not have been 60 smiling tonight Ladies and gentlemen, I wisi, to tell the men of Colorado, and I not only wish to tell the men of Colorado. but the women of Colorado, and I not only wish to tell the men and the women of Colorado, but the men and the women of—of what?

I wish to tell the men and wom- en of this great nation—and what is it that I—standing here tonight—what is it I wish to tell? Ah, I wish to tell the mer and the womenf of Colorado and the men and the women of this natlon—not only the white men but the black men; not only the white women, but the black women—wisW to tell them that on the 6th of November—and what do I wish to tell them? Ah, standing here in the threshold of a new century, looking back over four years ripe with his- tory—viewing an industrial progress that not only startles the, world, but startles— what? Not only startles the w{ rid, put star- tles even ourselves. (Applause.) And what it is, I ask, what is it that I wish to tell, Standing here in the threshoid of a new century looking back over a period of four years ripe with history astonishing to the world—and to what else? Even unto our- selves. (Cheers.) My friends, on the 6th of November we ahall see a vindication—of what? What shall we see a vindication of on the 6th day of next November—Novem- ber in the year 19007? I ask what shall we see’? Ah, we shall see a complete vindica- tion—and of what? What shall we see 4 vindication of? My friends, I will tell you what we shall see a vindication of on the 6th day of November in the year 10—I will tell you. A vindication of—mark my words—a vindication of the fact, the unde- niable fact, that during the past four years we—and who are we? When I say we, I not only mean the men of Colorado, but I mean the women of Colorado; ah, I not only mean the men and the women of Colorado, but the men and the women of this great nation, the white men and the black men. And mark well my prediction. I am not 4 prophet nor the son of a prophet; I do not claim to have a clearer eye than other men, but I can see as far as the political horizon, and what do I there behold, written with cloud? I behold, ladies and gentlemen—I behold, fellow-citizens—a complete vindica- tion—— A voice—Can't get but 14 pounds of sugar for a dollar and four years ago could get 20. How about it? Ah, I was waiting for someone to spring that. 1 was waiting for a voice of discon- tent to cry—and what was I waiting for that voice of discontent to cry? The baby ery for sugar. (Applause.) It is no doubt true that four years ago you could get more sugar for a dollar than you can now, but a bushel of wheat sold now would buy @ third more sugar than a bushel of wheat sold four years ago. (Cheers.) My friends, when we come to look soberly and dispas- sionately at—what? When we come to look soberly and dispassionately at the*fact that we could do what? Buy more sugar for @ bushel of wheat now than we could then— but is it necessary to proceed further upon a proposition already proved beyond ques- tion? And I am pleased to stand here to- night and to tell not only the men of Colo- on the 6th day of November all that I have told you here tonight will be vindi- cated at the polis. The chairmen of the meeting stepped for- ward and shaking the speaker's hand told him how delighted he was with the speech. The speaker smiled. “I am glad you pleased.

HAT an art ‘there is in making a political speech! It is the art of talking while thinking of something to say. The long-drawing of a word, a finger-shaking pause often gives the mind time to act. And sometimes it is a mental skirmish from beginning to- end. Out in Colorado I heard a celebrated orator. This is his speech: I am delighted to see so many—and what am I delighted to see so many of here to-night? Smiling faces, and if the predictions of the opposite party had been true, you would not have—would not have what? You would not have been so smiling to-night. Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to tell the men of Colorado, and I not only wish to tell the men of Colorado, but the women of Colorado, and I not only wish to tell the men and ‘the women of Colorado. but the men and the women of—of what? What is it I wish to tell not only the men of Colorado, but the women of Colorado? I ask, what is #? I wish to tej)l the men and women of this great nation—and what is it that I—standing white women, but the black women— wish to tell them that on the sixth of November—and what do I wish to tell them? Ah, stan..ng here in the thresh- old of a new century, looking back over four years ripe with history—view- ing an industrial progress that not only startles the world but startles—what? Not only startles the world, but startles even ourselves. (Applause). And what it is, 1 ask, what & &. -\that I wish to tell, standing here in the threshold of a new century look- ing back over a period of four years ripe with history astonishing to the world—and to what else? Even unto ourselves. (Cheers.) My friends, on the sixth of November we shall see a yvin- dication—of what? What shall we see a vindication of on the sixth day of next November—November in the year 1990? I ask what shall we see? Ah, we shall see a complete vindication—and of what? What shall we see a vindication of? My friends, I will teal you what we shall see a vindication of on the sixth day of November _ in the year 19%0—I will tell you. A vindication of— mark my words—a vindication of ‘the the men and the women of Colorado, but the men and the women of this great nation, the white men and the black men. And mark well my prediction.

Ah. I was waiting for some one to spring that. I was waiting for a voice of discontent to cry—and what was I waiting for that voice of discontent to cry? The baby cry for sugar. (Ap- Plause.) It is no doubt true that four years ago you could get more sugar for a dollar than you can now, but a bushel of wheat sold now would buy a third more sugar than a bushel of wheat sold four years ago.

ERRY CHRISTMAS thoughts are already flitting through our heads and playing tag in our minds, for December is here with its gray days of stillness and still days of grayness. The atmosphere is surcharged with a silence that seems to fold everything unto and into itself, until the cit who feels its witching influence is filled with a wist- ful revérie that drips from his dreams to look soberly and dispassionately at -he fact that we could do what? Buy more sugar for a bushel of wheat now than we could then—but is it necessary to proceed further upon a proposition already proved beyond question? And 1é am pleased to stand here to-night and | to tell not only the men of Colorado, ; but the women of Colorado, and not: only the men and women of Colorado, but the men and the women of this; nation, that on the sixth day of Novem-‘ ber all that I have told you here to-' night will be vindicated at the polls. The chairman of the meeting stepped‘ forward and shaking the speaker’s hand? told him how delighted he was with, “IT am ? faster than a hundred miles an hour, the speech.

And I stood wrappede about in the frozen blanket of dis-' couragement. But suddenly I saw a face that put hope beneath my spirits: and lifted them up. A well-dressed man in front smiled upon me. He did not cease smiling—he smiled constantly, ande what an inspiration he was! the ‘‘speech’’ was done I went up to the to me, and I said: ‘‘Well, there was one’ man who was pleased—that gentleman, in gray who sat down therein front. He: smiled during my entire speech.’ ‘*Yes,’’ replied the chairman, ‘“‘that was Bill Pruitt.

The football dangles On the wall; And while the ’possum’s In his hole, Great turkey blossoms Seent the soul. The lamb that first saw the minted mead last spring now jumps higher in the market price list than he ever did on the rolling hills when the bee was finding glucose in every opening flower. The blossoms of that ethereal period are now golden fruit enveloped in the fra- gile moon of pie, which giving and stealing odor skips fairy fandangos hand in hand with the aureated cheese that is ever its devoted and apprecia- tive acolyte. Soon will the crow drift Over the snowdrift; Soon will the spry canine Leap through the gateway, Curl up and straightway Proceed to roast his spine: By the luminous steve wiil he thus indulge In the vision of gold that's without alloy, And while each of his optics serenely bulge Will he revel and yawn in his perfect joy.

Santa Claus is now smiling in every business window in the town, for there is no business whose chief particular specialty is not considered by the said concern as the proper thing for a Mhristmas present. These things may be in no way related to the season in spirit, and yet are they forced upon the attention of all purchasers in ways that are calculated to catch and hold captive the fancy.

It had been given to him as : ‘parting gift by the Empress of Thibet, and the merest child of the present day »would have recognized it as a horse. 1998 is not the present day by a long shot, and it is needless to say that exception of Pemberton’s fel- passengers there was not a soul in who had any idea what it explorer, >Pemberton, Manhattan >» Was, He was black, with wide, red nostrils. arched neck, flowing tail, in the words of that the coffee and sugar merchants of Wall street, who had never before seen a horse They crowded around him, after they had been assured he would not bite, and admired him. “Say, ien't he a beautitoot?” said a sugar prince in the slangy language of the day. “Can he do any tricks?’ (It should be said in passing that lions were the only animals known to civilized man at this time. and they did tricks in the continuous performances, so that this erson naturally associated trieks with an animal.) The explorer smiled with a Knowing smile. ‘‘Well, I should hesitate to answer you negatively. He can pull a veek.”’ “Oh, run along!” “Take a toddle!’’ “Try ta get away!’ said various by- standers derisively. This nettled the explorer, Mr. Pem- berton, and he whispered to his man, the pitilens who were in the vicinity were asonished would be to state it with ridiculous mikiness. They were beside themselves.

The President of Man- hattan, fearing some one would be in- jured in the jam, finally ordered the ten- mile roadway hoisted into the air by the captive airships. This roadway, being built of plate glass, enabled people to see exhibits to better advantage than if they were placed on a level, and it was always used when crack regiments were to be put through their evolutions.
