The first issue of the Evening Dis- patch under the ownership of Josepa Pulitzer. was published Dec. 10, 18:8, the wreck of the old newspaper having been purchased by him at sheriff's sale the day before for $2500. Two days later the pa- per was consolidated with the Evening Post. The property which has been developed into the Post-Dispatch of today was then a derelict upon the sea of journalism. It had no circulation, no business, no influence The first issue consisted of 1000 copies. Upon its twenty-second birthday the Post-Dispatch is pleased to invite attention to the fact that it Is the leading newspa- per of St. Louis, with an ever-widening sphere of influence extending over many states, and to review in brief the achieve- ments which have made it the first news- paper west of the Mississippi. During the month of November, this year, the Post-Dispatch surpassed all previous records in all departments. The circulation has grown from the mod- est 1000 of the first issue to the grand fig- ure of 160,372 copies Sunday, Dec. 9, 1900. The “‘want" advertising patronage has grown from about 1000 “‘wantg’’ a month in IS78 to 21,873 last November, and by actual measurement it has been shown that dur- ing that month the Post-Dispatch published more columns of home and foreign advertis- ing than any other St. Louis newspaper. The fact that the Post-Dispatch leads in eiyculation and in all kinds of advertising proves that it is the most popular newspa- per in its territory. Within 22 years it has ‘grown from a very humble beginning to this exalted state by reason of adhering to the policy laid down by the proprietor, in an editorial published on the date of the consolidation of the Post and the Disp a*-th: ‘The Post-Dispatch will serve go party, but the people; will be no organ cf Rep.ib- licanism,’ but the organ of truth: will fol- low no caucuses, but its own convictions; will not support the ‘administration,’ Lut criticise it; will oppose all frauds and shams, wherever and whatever chey care; will advocate principles and ideas iather than prejudices and partisanship. “These ideas and principles are precisely the same as those upon which our govern- ment was originally founded, and to which we owe our country’s marvelous growth and development. They are the «ame that made a republic possible, and without which a real republic is impossible. They are the ideas of a true, real, genuine democ- racy. They are the principles of true local self-government.”’ With this declaration of principles the Post-Dispatch was launched) upon its career. A newspaper with independent ideas, hitched to no faction, bound to no party, clinging *to no clique, was a new thing un- der the sun. At first the public was star- tied. Later it became interested. Now it is co-operating fully. The growth of the Post-Dispatch is due to its hewing to the line. Very early in its career it began proving its claim that was the paper of the peaple. Within a month of the first issue the newspaper °x- posed wealthy taxdodgers. Some eminent- lv respectable citizens made false returns of their tax lists and thus robbed the city and state of legitimate revenues, making the burdens of taxation heavier for the poor. Their names were published, to gether with facts necessary to expose (he wrong, and the city was shocked To aniagonize these influential citize was thought, meant ruin. Loss of adver- tising patronage was predicted But the Post-Dispatch continued its on Slaught upon the citadel of those who, reveling in Iluxuries§ refused to bear. their fair share of the pub- lic expense. In the end the battle was won, honest men, both rich and poor, ap- proved the crusade, and the dodgers were forced to pay their taxes. St. Louis had an absolutely fearless and independent newspaper, and this splend.d beginning of the fulfi!iment of its promise Was a guarantee of its future conduct. In 18159 a gambling and lottery ring con- trolled St. Louis, dictating nominations for public office and manipulating the off! clals like manikins. Hlome and foreign lottery companies had hundreds of ticaet venders in the city, like a great net catch- ing up the earnings of the poor. ‘All kinds of gambling places flourished. The Post-Dis- patch took up the cudgel of correction. The connection between the lottery ring and the city and state officials was made public and the [Indictment was thrust home in such @ way that 50 persons connected with the Missour! Lottery were arrested and neay- ily fined, the St. Louls Lottery company was dissolved, a leader of the gambling ring was sent to the penitentiary for perjury at an official investigation which the Post-Dis- patch compelled and the Johnson law mbling was enacted. ver since that time the Post-Dispatch has fought the successors to the old gam- bling ring whenever they have shown their ns, it ’ PT Rs) _—— OO SS pa — tl tilt tl i i ll tl i ee alle al a a Up this path, surmounting all these difficulties and leaving the way clear behind it, the Post-Dispatch has mounted in Circulation and Public Confidenee, since its birth 22 years ago. heads. In 1883-a more powerful clique than that of 1879 was organized. Public offices were sold for cash considerations, and all kinds of gambling were protected by the Officials. The Post-Dispatch revealed ihe situation in its true light, an investigation was ordéred, and the gambling ring was completely broken up. Last summer the Post-Dispatch again opened its guns upon the gambling offend- ers. The city was full of policy shaps, slot-gambling de.‘ces, craps games and other illegal enterprises conducted for the purpose of scooping up the earnings of the poor. It was hinted that these gam- biing places and devices were being pro- tected for a consideration, and the Post- Dispatch made public the story, printed the location of games and slot machines, and compelled the police to raid many houses and break up the policy shops. The tight against the gas trust, from 1896 to IM, was one of the fiercest which the Post-Dispatch has waged for the people, but it is admitted bv the officers of the old gas companies that the $1 gas of to- dav, instead of the $3.50 gas of 1886, is due thus early to the efforts of the Post-Dis- } atch. In 1889 the Post-Dispatch revealed the cru- eiuies practiced by noncommissioned of- ficers at Jefferson Barracks. at the instance ol commissioned officers, such as the string- ing up and beating of private soldiers. These facts were learned by a representative of the paper, who enlisted in the service for that purpose. There was a great public out- cry against this medieval system of discip- line The secretary of war ordered an in- vestigation, an officer of high rank was trarsferred, the noncommissioned officers who offended were reduced to the ranks, and the torture system was abolished. This is but one of many instances where the Post-Dispatch has exerted all its influ- ence and energies in humane work. In the same vear the Post-Dispatch raised a’fund of more than $5000, nearly all in 25- eent pleces, for the defense of the great Irish home rule advocate, Charles Stewart Parnell. who was unjustly accused of com- pliceity in the Phenix Park murders. The Louisiana Lottery had become an octopus whose tentacles reached into innu- merable American homes, taking the bread from the mouths of children. The Post- Dispatch sent a staff corresponden} to in- vestigate this company’s method of bribing states to secure franchises. The whole coun- try was aroused by the publication of the facts. The Louisiana Lottery is a thing of the past At present and for many months past the Post-Dispatch, true to the expressed deter- mination not to flatter the administration, but to criticize it, when occasion demanded, thas exposed the present corrupt and in- competent city administration, and. this newspaper now is leading the struggle for the purification of the city government and the restoration of St. Louis to a condition = MBI IB AIRS RMT OG a6 188) 1862 11863 . ' ’ tt em ee ae a steamboat with supplies of food and cloth- ing, at an expense of hundreds of dollars a day, @emploving a large force of men to save the drowning and succor the famished and shelterless. After the St. Louls cyclone of 1896 the Post-Dispatch was first in the tield with re- lief moneys and measures. The Post-Dis- patch relief trains and fund sent to Galves- ton after the catastrophe of last September. fresh in the public memory, furnish a recent instance of the readiness of this newspaper to aid the afflicted. It was the Post-Dispatch which, during the panic period early in this decade, de- vised and carried out the plan of construct- ing a beautiful lake in Forest Park, im- proving that public property inestimably, besides giving employment to thousands of men who had been forced out of the chance to earn a livelihood at their ordinary oc- cupations. It was the Post-Dispatch which raised funds and established, in 1893. a summer camp for sick children and the mothers, eaving thousands of lives which otherwise would have been snuffed out in the stifling heat of the city. The Post-Dispatch has been foremost al- ways in advocating public improvements in +> | St. Louis. Through its advocacy, against the strenuous opposition of many citizens who were benefited by the improvement, boulevard connection with lorest Park was established. A modern system of street paving was in- — 4 —— BA — $— augurated through the persistent efforts of the Post-Dispatch toward the improvement of the streets When the clouds of dust stifled the popu- —}> lation the Post-Dispatch by ceaseless en- deavor brought about an adequate system of municipal street sprinkling.

For the happiness of the thousands of children to whom Santa Claus never comes the Post-Dispatch con- ceived the idea of having a monster Christ- mas tree, the like of which never was seen in the world before. Thotrsands of dollars fiowed into the fund and the biggest Christ- mas tree in the world was reared in Music Hiall, laden with presents for the children of the poor, who crowded the great hall and overfiowed for blocks.

ELDORADO, Kan., Dec. 10.—When Jesa- sie Morrison entered the courtroom this morning it was to hear the last argu- ment in her defense for the murder of Mrs. Castie. Judge A. L. Redden, the prisoner's leading counsel, in a forceful address to the jury, pleaded for the release of Miss Mor- Yison, declaring that the cuts she inflicted upon the bride of a week were done in sel-defense. Capt. Joseph Waters followed for the state, and demanded that a verdict of murder in the first degree be returned. Miss Morrison spent another quiet Sun- day in her cell, surrounded by relatives. Prayers Were offered for the prisoner, who joined heartily in the service Mer confidence in the outcome unshaken, and frequently she said to her futher: “I'm so glad it’s nearly over.’ accustomed place in the prisoner's dock With but two more arguménts to be made, it seemed assured that the case would be given to the jury late in the day, a faet that seem:cd to relieve Miss Morrison, whiie | | point it intensified the interest o1 Fougheut the day the court room was crowded with people, many schovi- dey Orci ihe. way to the aoor on their ay tO ang trem school.

Letter Received by Jessie Morrison. During the last days of her trial Jessie Morrison’s mail is véry heavy. These let- ters come not only from friends of the fam- ily expressing regret, but from strangers who sign their names and ffom others un- known to the Morrisons, who write ‘“Sym- pathizer,”’ “Friend,”’ ‘“Stranger,’’ at the ends of their letters. Miss Morrison, con- trary to a report, has received no ée@ffer to go on the stage should she be released. Nearly all of these letters are from persons who live in Kansas or Missouri and have followed the trial! closely. Some of the let- ters are addressed to Judge Morrison, father There are so mahy of them that the Morrisons do not find time to read them all. One of the letters was this: FORT SOOTT, Kan., Dec. 7.--Miss Jessie rison, Eldorado, Kan.: Please accept this from friends of Fort Seott, who truly believe your innocence, YOUR FRIEND.

One of the strongest arguments for the | Leydig. |} Hé pictutéd the home Of Clara Wiley Castle and’ made the observation that although Mrs. Castle might, before she was married to Olin. have felt some dis- pleasure at the relation between Olin.and Jessie Miorrisdf, there was no evidence to show that after Clara Wiley had been mar- ried to Castle that anything had ocurred to revive the jealousy which she might have felt before the marriage. On the contrary, he said, not only had the wedding oc- but Jessie Morrison had not been invited to it. There was a jubilation over the wedding, but she was not there. ‘Which,’ he said, ‘“‘would be the jealous Clara Wiley Castle or Jessie Morri- son?’ Mr. Leydig took the collar worn by Jes- sie Morrison the day of the tragedy and il- lustrated the manner in which he thought that Jessie Morrison had inflicted wounds upon herself. ‘““‘These wounds,’ he said, “were not the vigorous thrust of a mur- derer. They were mere scratches and they were made by Jessie Morrison herself after she rose from the limp and helpless Clara Castle, lying on the floor in her own blood. The testimony is that Jessie Morri- son rose from that body with her eyes glaring, her teeth showing, the look of a demon on her face. “If I should attack one of you with a ra- zor and you should wrest the weapon from me would you continue to cut and slash me? When Jessie Morrison got that razor from Clara Castle, why did she kneel over her and cut and cut until there were eight- een gaping wounds? “Why did she whittle the throat of that defenseless girl into ribbons? That isn't self-defense. If she was there in self-de- fense, wouldn't she have rushed to the door when she had secured the razor, when she had proven herself the master? Why didn't she scream for help? Why didn’t she scream and cry ‘relieve me?’ Because she was there to do murder.”’ BECAUSE OF LAWYER'S REMARK CREDIT MEN AT WORK > NATIONAL DIRECTORS MEET AT MERCANTILE CLUB.

Judge Spencer declined to grant the plain- | tiff a new trial in the case of Arthur L. Cave against the St. Louls & Iron Moun- tain road Monday. The new trial was asked, after judgment | had been rendered against the plaintiff, on the ground that a remark by Henry G. Her- | bel, the defendant's counsel, in his argu- ment, had prejudiced the jury against the plaintiff The alleged remark was to the effect that, while the defendant pay just claims against it. it would never willingly pay fees of damage suit lawyers. A. R. Taylor, the plaintiff's attorney, took exception to the remark. In passing on the motion for a new trial the court says that, of the plaintiff to protest against it with emphasis when ‘t was made precludes him a new trial! NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE. M. J.

The St. Louis County Court Monday morning rescinded its order, made severa! weeks ago, granting the St. Louls, St Charles & Western Railway permission to increace its fare from S8t. Louls to &t. Charles from 16 cents to 15 cents. The rea- son for this action was the vigorous oppo- sition of the people of Pattonville, 8t. Louls County, to having the fare from Pattonville to St. Louis increased from 5 cents to eents, as the scheme of the railway com- pany, approved bythe County Court, con- templated. ” A large delegation of Pattonville people, led by William Gentry, was before the court Monday. J. D. |.ouseman, president of the 8t. Louts, St. Charles & Western Railway Co., represented the company. Mr. Houseman and Mr. Gentry both ad- dressed the court at length and at times with some . bitterness. Mr. Houseman claimed that the road would lose money un- less it was allowed to increase its fares. Mr. Gentry, on the other hand, insisted that it was doing a good business now and, as soon as completed through to St. Charlies, would prove a veritable gold mine for its owners. The court was not long in announcing ite | decision to rescind its former order, thereby taking from the railroad company permis- sion to make the tncrease in fares. ee eee ee Lycurgus Stovall Is Mysterious Prig- oner at Alton. .

AN UNSELFISH SUGGESTION. Mr. Adolphus Busch’s comments on municipal affairs in the Bunday Post-Dispatch interview are suggestive. While he was in Europe Mr. Busch paid some attention to municipal government. “I found,” he says, “that in cities of anything like the size of St. Louis the municipal government is as good as it is possible for the best and most intelligent men of the community to make it.” Mr. Busch’s plan for betterment is eminently sane and gensible. ‘“‘The business men of St. Louis should get together,”’ he says. * * * I want men who are Honest, men who are capable and men who will work for the welfare of St. Louis. ¢ * * We shall have to pay for the luxury—or, rather. the necessity—of a high-class government and all] the accom- panying benefits, but I for one am ready to make almost any sacrifice in order to get what it is imperative that St. Louis shall have.”’ The public spirit, the real interest in public affairs and we!- fare manifest in Mr. Busch’s utterances are well worthy of cultivation in St. Louis. The organization of business men suggested is an essential step in the new work, which must be undertaken unselfishly and with an eye single to the common good. The Boer war is over and the Boers do not know it. Philippine war is over an‘ the Filipinos do not know it. —_— —_ —— — HOBSON'S WELL WISHERS. The with them during this !ong and active period of public service. | t Admiral Cervera’s message to Lieut. Hobson, lying almost at the point of death in the Presbyterian Hospital of New York, was a charming expression of the Christian gentieman. It was in keeping with the character of the man who treated Hobson and his companions after their capture in Santiago Bay with a chivalric generosity which won the admiration of the civilized world, and whose courage, dignity and worth gained the respect and affection of his own captors. The sentiment of the good old Admiral with regard to ldeut. Hobson is heartily indorsed by the American people. Their sympathies and good wishes are with him in his strug- gle for life. They sincerely hope that he will survive to round outAhe career so brilliantly begun. Lieut. Hobson is an admirable example of the best type of young American. He combines courage with ability and high character. His exploit in Santiago Bay, from the standpoint of gallantry and devotion to duty, belongs to the annals of ~» American heroism. The one incident which mars his record was not so much ‘hls fault as his misfortune. He good-naturedly yielded to the folly of hysterical hero worshipers. But while the people have made sport of the kissing episode and have indulged in good- matured ridicule of the victim, they cherish respect for the qualities of the naval officer. They overlook the impulsive- ness of youth and recognize the worth of the man. It is remarkable that Britain does not gobbic little Portugal instead of coddling her. UNMERITED POVERTY. The report of the New York Association for the Improve- ment of the Poor for the past year is valuable as showing the cuuses of poverty. Of 6600 cases investigated, 941 were due to lack of work, 1198 to illness, 307 to old age, 321 to de- Sertion by husband, 312 to intemperance and 245 to shiftless- ness. The first four causes named may be said to bring unmer- ited joverty; in the last two the poverty is deserved. In other words 2767 were poor in spite of their deserts, while — 607 suffered as the result of sins of omission or commis- n. These figures tally pretty well with those of similar reports in St. Louis and the other la: ge cities. Thov show that .n a large majority of cases destitution is the result of misfortune or «f causes which the victim could not control. They offer ® powerful incentive to the charitable to do what is possible toward the betterment of conditions. At this time such figures should make the appeal which the Post-Dispatch is making for a Christmas festival for the poor irresistible. Those who contribute may be sure that they are doing good. The poverty of most of the poor is un- @erited. It should be relieved. —6o O—.. ..

The mother says that Gibson knew nothing of this as she held the insurance. But all the facts in the case thus far published Indicate that the Mother did nothing to prevent the killing. Nor did she inform the police after the act. She seemed entirely callous. The stepfather has now confessed that the murder was committed @s the result of a plot to obtain the insugance, the child’s body being marked with a hot iron to give the appearance of smaill- ». From time to time terrible stories have been told of the re- ‘sults of indiscriminate child insurance.

Then the members yelled with delight. The hcnorable member made a decided hit, a very palpable hit. ¥ Representative government seems to be in a bad way. The Austrian Parliament and the French Chamber of Deputies have disgraced themselves more than once, and the British House of Commons often goes on a tear, especially when 2 Home Ruler falle foul of Mr. Chamberlain. And our House of Representatives is no better. , Dignity, self-respect and a sense of the meaning of an as- sembly representing the will and intelligence of the nation seem to be wanting. = =" The World’s Fair work is now well advanced, but the fund should be completed before the first of the year. The impera- tive necessity of this has already been made sufficiently clear. Putting aside all differences of opinion which have heretofore prevented many from taking part in the undertaking, every citizen should now join heartily in the work, all co-operating to ‘the one end. The success of the World's Fair will reflect credit upon the city and promote its prosperity. In this credit and prosperity all 8t. Louisans will share. Therefore let halt- from a project of such vital importance to St. Louis. -_~-———_—_ 9 Oe . TWENTY-TWO YEARS OF SERVICE. Today is the 224 birthday of the Post-Dispatch and we fee! justified in directing the attention of its thousands of readers to the results achieved by their newspaper in conjunction T’wenty-two years ago today the first issue of the Post-Dis- | patch, under the proprietorship of Joseph Pulitzer, consisted of 1000 copies. successor had been purchased at sheriff’s sale for $2500. From that time every day, every year has marked progress in public confidence and esteem and consequently in business prosperity, which is merely the reward of recognized public service. Yesterday the circulation of the Post-Dispatch was 160,372. On the first Sunday in December it was 1601406, breaking all previous records. vertising business. Its ‘“‘wants’”’ did not exceed 1000 a month. Last November the Post-Dispatch “‘wants’’ numbered 24,673, the largest for that month in the history of the Post-Dispatch. The month of November was the most prosperous month in the history of the paper. From practically no circulation the Post-Dispatch has grown to the largest circulation west of the Mississippi. From prac- tically no advertising business it now leads the St. Louis papers in all lines of advertising. thing else which is even more gratifying. They are the prac- tical evidence of public esteem and confidence. ,They are the fruits of popular approval. The Post-Dispatch accents its growth in all verdict of the people on the value of its work for the people. Starting out as an independent, fearless and watchful organ of the people, as distinct from the organs of parties, factions or special interests, the Post-Dispatch has hewed to that line. It has aimed to be a great newspaper ,pubiishing all the news fit for publication without fear or favor. It has en- deavored to be a potent moral force for the public welfare. It has: labored for the betterment of the community by ex- posing evil and. promoting good. What the Pcst-Dispatch has done is an open book. achievements in public service belong to the history of St. Louis. We feel justified in saying that the popular opinion of the Post-Dispatch’s record of service as a newspaper is found in the wonderful success of the newspaper. But satisfaction for what has been acccomplished in the past is joined with confidence for the future. What has been done is an earnest of what will be done. When eulogies of dead members of Cungress are uttered in the House, the living members dodge into the cloak rooms or leave the building. The eulogies are of no value except to the printer who is paid by the government to publish them. The congressional eulogy and the congressional funeral jun- ket should be abolished before the new century comes in. e ~o eo eo —-_______ —__ —- Perhaps the defeated candidate for President should always write a criticism of the President’s message. The precedent set by Mr. Bryan in the Sunday Post-Dispatch may give the country a great deal of interesting political reading. Indeed, a response by Mr.. McKinley would be read by many more people than have read his message. ¥ oo eo The years in which a vitally important city ordinance has been violated should be succeeded by 22 years of vigilant supervision of city expenditures. By that time we should be in the habit of protecting curselves from public plunderers. ~~ = = The coming Christmas is the last,.and should be the best, of the closing century.

The mayor's investigation of the Meier charges did not even let a little moonlight on them. Tom Moore wrote “The Last Rose of Summer.’ What verses he would have made if he could have seen the chrysanthe- mum of 1900. Much of the pessimism of the day comes from the man who finds that there is no premium on the coin which he has been saving as rare. The English tradesman has an effective way of showing nis antipathy to France. He never neglects an opportunity to swindle French spendthrifts. Von Buelow is described by the Agrarians as a man without an acre and without grain. It is likely, however, that Von Buelow may claim to have a little sand. The Czar’e officers and those of the battleship Kentucky did not discuss the Goebel law or the death of Mr. Goebel when they met at Constantinople the other day. In Senegal, Explorer Babon says, people fall asleep while walking and can easily sleep 20 hours daily. Here at last is rest for the insomnia patient. He can sail for Senegal.

It isn’t often that an opportunity to play a joke on Sachs turns up, but Gilpin and Lindsay thought one of the infrequent oc- casions was at hand. So, by a telepat™ic agreement, they were talkink races and race horses when Sachs got in earshot of them. “Have you fellows got some sure things today?’ asked Sacns, when he heard the drift. of their conversation. “Sure,” said Lindsay. “We've got the best tip that’s been out in many a day. Isn't that straight, Gilpin?” ‘ Gilpin said it was and went on to tell Sachs all about it and explain just why there was no chance to lose. “What's the horse’s name?” asked Sachs, getting interested. Now, up to this time, Lindsay and Gilpin didn't know. Their good thing was all a ‘josh.”" But they thought they would carry the joke farther. Gilpin pulled a form sheet out of his pocket an icked out a horse he said was sure to win. He had never heard of him before. “How much are you fellows going to bet?’’ inquired Sachs. They told him the horse should sell at 50 to 1 and that they expected to lay $2 each on him in local poolrooms. Sachs said he could stand that and gave them $2 to put up when Lame | should lay their bets. After lunch, Lindsay and Gilpin went away to a quiet place and laughed. The horse they had picked had no earthly chance of winning. So they decided to put Sach’s money in an gee and mail it to him that evening, so that he would receive it early in the morning. He would appre- ciate their friendship upon learning that they had not put up his money on a worth less horse. The money was mailed ano nothing more was thought of the race. Well, to make a long story short, the horse Lindsay and Gilpin had picked won, contrary to all form, If they had put Sachs’ Joke Worked Wrong Way. POST-DISPATCH PICKINGS we = had $100 coming to him. It was small won- der, then, that he said unprintable when he opened the envelone from 4 friends,took out the $2 bill and read the note, It was lixewise not remarkable that Lind- say and Gilpin, erstwhile joke like they had been joked when the was brought home to them by the irate Mr. Sachs, who thought their letter was a It was a long time before th him that they had not made the collected what should have been coming to him. And, in allowing himself to become convinced of this, he took into considera- tion their general reputation for truth and veracity rather than the circumstances of that particular case. ~~ Jerry Coakley, mes- Best Word r of Uni Pp the other day with a sentence that should be immortalized among Missourians. 3 Several of his friends were assembled In his office, enjoying his hospi ty. They fell to discussing politics and Missourt. Mr. Coakley was the only Democrat and Mis- sourtan in the crowd. His companions were all Republicans and had come to this state to engage in the struggle for existence after they had attained their majority. Massa- chusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire were represented. The discussion of poll sulted in the Republi the state was unfit to | rul by Democrats. They p’‘tied because she was so far behind other states, especially the New England group from which they hailed and which are steadfast- ly Republican, and wound up their round of abuse with a grand chorus, sounding the virtues of their own states. Coakley had said nothing during rade, but took the floor as soon as portunity came. “Gentlemen,” he sald, “all I have to say in answer to your aspersions on Missotri is that I was born here 40 years ago and have never yet had to leave the grand old state to make a living.”’ That was better than a pong speech, less to the point.

The enactment of a law in this state “preventing a dealer ¢rom selling out a stock of goods in bulK without providing for the payment of the debts against it,” would be in contravention of our constitu- tion and therefore null and void.

Davenport, was called to re- | farce which | roy,’’ hearsals for the new musical he will assist Edna May in producing. Welin- berg, as everybody in St. Louis Knows, is a good German dialect comedian, but he has never been seen ‘n this city in-a part so weil adapted to his peculiar style of Teutonic | humor. While he may not be so refined in| his interpretation of Peter Stuyvesant as was Mr. Davenport, he adapts his some- what broader methods to the role in a way that makes it very funny. And he impressed many of his Sunday night auditors as a bet- ter dialect actor than Davenport has ever shown himself to be. Weinberg has a proper appreciation of his vocal deficiencies and considerately forbears singing except where some effort is necessary to carry the piece along. The other change in the cast since its Booth Talkington, the place of Thomas Ricketts. Lillian Cole- man, Edith Yerrington, Laura Joyce Bell, Josephine Newman, Knox Wilson and Riley Hatch are still pleasantly in evidence. “The Burgomaster’ is a satisfying bit of non- sense and will bear seeing twice. Lincoln J. Carter's latest success, ‘“The Eleventh Hour.’’ opened at Havlin’s yester- Gay afternoon to a large audience, Like oe Melony of Carter's plays, “The Elev- | our” is a typical melodrama. The plot is the conventional one of an old enth Hiour’’ goes through five lively acts. The interest of the play concentrates in | the last act, when, in the final life and death Struggle between the hero and villain, enough of the gorgeous stage settings and bric-abrac is smashed to furnish a smal] Store. In the midst of all this ruin, mat- ters are adjusted and virtue vanquishes vice so quickly that the audience has not begun to get up to go when the curtain falls. In this, at least, art has scored a triumph in “The Eleventh Hour.”’ , hose who attended the matinee of the Telephone Girl’’ at the Grand yesterday afternoon were treated to a performance not on the bills. The company were late in getting here, and as the audience was waiting Manager Garen rang up the curtain _and gave a view of the process of “‘dress- | | | | ; ing’’ the ee. It took. “The Telephone Girl’’ has been seen here with Louls Mann as “Hans Nix.” Harry Hermsman fills the part acceptably at the Grand. The company is well balanced. Flora Parker as Clementine, Mabel Hite as Este'le and Maggie Ford as Toots are the teeny og stars. Lola Bigger and Minnie Jreher in popular songs made a hit. Win- field Douglas had a bad cold but was a whole show in himself. The play goes with a rush and snap. ‘furnish a show that is in strict keeping ' ’ At the Standard the Utopian Burlesquers with their name. It is strictly up to date and is full of spice.

A targe audience demonstrated their , appreciation of the able manner in which Bandmaster Weil handled his instrumental- ‘ists by continued demands for encores— | which increased the enthusiasm, the con- trast of the lighter number being quite ac- ceptable. Miss Mae Este'le Acton contrib- uted much to the success of the program, her songs. with band accompaniment show- ing her dramatic aeprano to gos¢ advan- tage. Many flowers were handed over the footlights. These concerts will continue until Feb. 10, when the band will leave for a tour of the Southwest. $18.00, New Orleans and Return, Dec. 11. Laughry, warden of the Fort Leavenworth penitentiary, where Carter has been con- fined, the court gverruling the petitioners’ demurrer on the habeas corpus writ issued some time ago and sustaining the ruling of the trial courts, together with the subse- quent action of President McKinley, who set aside twelve of the charges under which he was convicted, but made no change of the sentence imposed by the court-martial In addition to the prison sentence, Carter was fined $5000, which was paid, and was dismissed from the army. Judges Thayer and Hook find these pro- ceedings were entirely regular. In the petition to them Capt. Carter was represented by his brother, I Stanton Car- ter, and his attorneys, Frank P. Blair and . H. Grosvenor. One of the chief contentions urged on his behalf was that the President in re- ducing the number of specifications pre- ferred, hereby made void the entire pun- ishment inflicted. i On this point Judge Thayer says: ‘The punishment prescribed by the articles of war is attached to the charge and not the specifications made thereunder, the latter being merely by way of exemplification and detailed statement of the princina charges to which they respectively rel#e, but even if this were not so, the well established that where a sentence in gross is pronounced upon a conviction un- der an indictment containing seve-al counts and upon appeal or review some of them are held bad and the others are sustained, the sentence will not be disturbed, provided it is such as could lawfully have been im- poor under the courts which were up- eld.”’ Punishment Was Justified. “In this case," says the court, was confirmed by the President is sufficient under the law to justify the punishment inflicted.”’ Prior to Carter’s removal to the peni- tentiary at Fort Leavenworth, he ob- tained a writ of habeas corpus from the Federal Circuit Court of the Southern dis- trist of New York and upon a hearing the writ was dismissed and he was remanded to the custody of the military authorities. An apeal from this order was made to the New York Circuit Court of Appeals and that court also confirmed the decision of the Circuit Court. A petition for a write of certiorari was then taken to the Supreme Court and de- nied by that tribunal. Further proceedings were brought before the Supreme Court, but that body, in dis- missing the apeal and proceeding inerror, did not pass on the questions affecting the validity of the conviction and sentence of Capt. Carter, but held practically that a defeated party did not have the right to have his case finally determined in the Supreme Court and in the Circuit Court of Appeals on independent appeals. Question of Courts-Martial. Following an elaborate discussion of the ‘what | _the prejudice of good rule is | | trusted with certain ; ' ; ' Zlement) suffic committed by law to its cognizance. limitations on the power of this court to inquire into matters connected with the judgments of other civil courts by means of the writ of habeas corpus apply with equal force to the judgments of courts- martial. This consideration is sufficient to eliminate a number of petitioner’s ob- jections without further discussion.” The charges brought against Capt. Carter were, substantially: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, in violation of the six- tieth article of war; conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, in violation of the sixty-first article of war; embezzie- ment, in violation of the sixty-second ar- ticle of war and as defined by the federal statutes. Concerning the Embezzlement Charge. Concerning the objections made by coun- | charge the court has this to say. 'sel for Capt. Carter to the embezzlement | ‘Were the facts set forth in the specifica: tion supporting the fourth charge (embez- - Be to constitute the offense ) charged and was the conduct described ‘to order and military discipline’ as required by the 62d article of war? The specification set forth that Car- | ter was a disbursing officer of the United | States and that as such officer he was in-| public money, which | wilfully and knowingly caused to be paid on false accounts, the amounts paid not being due or owing from the United | States to the parties to whom the payments were made, of which Carter well knew. In my opinion, this charges the application of public money to a purpose not prescribed | by law and with the details which the speci- fication supplies constitutes a sufficient ins | dictment under section 5488 of the revised | statutes. And it may also be reasonably | contended that in a larger sense the mis- | appropriation by a captain in the en-| gineer corps of the army of public money, intrusted to him to be used in the construc- | tion ef works of which he has official | charge, is conduct prejudicial to good order | and military discipline. But even if peti- tioner’s contention were well made it does | not shew the sentence to be void, but simply | that it is erroneous. It was clearly within | the province of the court-martial to decide those varticular questions.” The court rules that the sentence could he ‘be upheld under the embezzlement charge alone. The only recourse left «co Capt. Carter's friends would be to take the case to the I'nited States Court of Appeals on a writ of error. At the time Judges Thayer and Hook heard the petition the former stated to the Post-Dispatch that their joint decl- sion would be subject to review by the higher courts. c ) New Orleans and Return, One Fare for the Round Trip, Via Milinois Central, Dec. ll.
