Through the medium of the Post-Dispatch Want column a co-operative box factory has been formed in which every stockholder has equal privileges and receives equal re- muneration for his labor. The Southern Box Manufacturing 2117 South Second street, is a firm construct- ed on socialistic principles, every member of the organization being responsible for the successful carrying on of the enter- prise. W. M. Ware and J. M. Ilumphrey were the originators of iptkeebime and are the ones office holders in the organization. They were elected to their positions by the vote of the stockholders. When this enterprise was originated Mr. Ware and Mr. Humphrey advertised for g00d workmen-who had small savings whicn they wished to invest. In this way eight men were found. They are M.

According to the idea of the company “all men are to be free and equal,’’ con- vquently neither Mr. Ware nor Mr, Hump! rey has any authority outside of his official position.

Martin, Accused of Misconduct in Ot- fice, Claims the City Council Has No Right to Try Him and Will Fight. George H. Martin, deputy supply commis- { sioner, procured from Judge P. R.

All the members of the Council are made partios defendant. Martin is represented in | the proceeding by Leverett Bell, who. Was for many years city counsellor. Four specific reasons are given in support of the prayer for a writ of prohibition, be- ing the following: First, that the under the charter misconduct in office. Second, that it has no authority to re- move him, even if it should return a verdict against him, Third. that there is nothing in the law of the land that permits the council to be- come both accuser and judge as, it is al- leged, it proposes to do in the petitioner's council has no authority to try the petitioner for case. And. fourth, that the charges against the petitioner are not of a character that In- dicate sufficient wrongdoing to justily his removal from office. The petitioner alleges that he was ap-| pointed to his office in 1899 and that he | is entitled to hold it until 1905, a period of | four years. He avers that it is recognized jurisdiction over it. The history of the proceedings which ter- minated in the report of the committee ad- verse to Martin is set forth in full from the introduction of the resolution calling for the appointment of the investigating com- mittee, June 29, 1900, to the final report of the committee, Dec. 7 last, and the decision of the Counc to try the petitioner Dec. 1. The petitioner avers that he is informed that the Council intends to depose him from office and that he will suffer irreparable in- jury unless the court shall perpetually re- strain the Council's proposed action, The term of Judge Flitcraft, who issued the alternative writ, will expire Jan. 1, and the return will be made before Judge Spencer, who has been assigned to Judge Flitcraft’s room. The charge made against Martin by the investigating committee of the Council is that he demanded to be allowéd a certain per cent on certain: purchases alleged to have been made from a Washington avenue wholesale house, the said purchases being for city institutions.

CITY WOULD GAIN NOTHING DECISION BASED ON THREE CON- SIDERATIONS. Quantity, Cost and Healthfulness, the Board Say, Show No Special Ad- vantage in Favor of the Proposed Change At a special meeting of the board of public improvements, held at noon Saturday, the Meramec Spring water supply proposition was rejected by a unanimous vote, all the members of the board being present. The report of the water department com- mittee, which was adopted, has been in preparation for two months past and was ing the past three weeks, since a special hearing of the engineers and business rep- resentatives of the project was held. The committee's objections to the plan to change the source of the city’s water sup- ply to the headwaters of the Meramec river were based on consideratidns of quantity, cost and healthfulness. In all these re- spects the committee stated that the city would gain nothing by the acceptance of the proposition. The part of the report which related to quantity stated that the Meramec spring and river do not contain enough water to they meet the ordinary of present consumption. The in which a_ daily demand of 00,000 gallons or more, which is timated as the need of the city in thenear future, could be met would be by the im- pounding of water in the reservoirs. In the section relating to cost, figures were furnished to show that the water supply of the city from the present source, including the cost of erecting and maintaining a filtra- tion plant at the Chain of Rocks, will be $761,132 per year, while the annual cost of furnishing unfiltered water from the Mera- mec spring and river under the proposed system would be $1,036,600.

Difierent dates were discussed by the councilmen when it was leurned that fSer- vice had not been secured on the supply commissioner, and it was decided, in view of the usual practice of taking a holiday re- eess, to put off the trial of Meier until the new year. As the result of the investigations of the Meier committee a résolution was ° intro- duced into the Council Friday calling upon the heads of the various municipal depart- | ments to make requisitions for supplies only once a°’month, as required by the charter, The observancé of this provision, it is be- lieved, will bring most supplies under the System of competitive bids and will save money to the city. —— DEATH WON-STARTLING RACE Ambulance Couldn’t Get the Mangled Body of Frank Lowrie to the Hos- pital Before Death.

Analyses of the Meramec water has been made, it was stated, which showed that the water of the spring contained 5600 bacteria to the cubic centimeter. The effect of heavy rains on the spring was also mentioned, and it was stated that unfiltered Meramec water, considering the pollution to which it would be exposed by impoundng in stor- age reservoirs and transmission in pipes to the city, would not be greatly preferable to unfiltered Mississippi water. Comparisons of the typhoid death rate of St. Louis with that of New York and other cities, which have distant sources of water supply, were shown. and it was stated that the water ot the Meramec would not be found superior to that of ithe Croton reservoir.

Just as the invited guests of Mrs. Thomas IX.

The interrupted diners turned to and saved as ble, but the house was destroyed before any effective resistance to the Offered by the fire department. The loss is 2 heavy one, $50,000 being the estimated damage to the house and the valuable collection of,-paintings owned by Skinker. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Eaton, one of the in- vVited couples, diScovered the fire about 7 o'clock as they were approaching the resi- dence. While they were walking up the hill from the Forest Park and Clayton Rail- way, they observed a small blage in the third story. They hastened to the house and startled the guests, who were just adjourning to the dining room, with a cry of fire. The party, among whom were Thomas Galt, Miss Rena Galt, J.

The fire is said to have originated in a de- fective flue. Mr. Skinker himself was not at home. He was working at the law notified by telephone, but it was late before he could arrive at the scene of the con- flagration. He was anxious about a manu- script upon which he has been working for several years, but was needlessly alarmed, as it was one of the few things saved from the flames. A small amount of silver and cut-glass ware, and a few articles of furni- | ture were also rescued. The house. a three-story brick, was lo- cated exactly on the county line. For 57 years it had been a landmark. Some years ago it was remodeled and its estimated value was $20,000. Mr. Skinker was unable to est{mate his loss.

Mr. Varrelmann said Saturday that an employe of the street department had been told by Delegate Hartman, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house, by the committee and passed by the House Friday-night. He was accordingly surprised to learn that no reference to the bill had been made at the meeting and that it still remained in the committee box. The bill making supplementary appropri- ations for the city institutions, which was sent to the house ‘from the council at the same time with the Varrelmann bill, was favorably reported by the ways and means committee Friday night and passed by the house. Strong influences have against the Varelmann 0ObDill since tts introduction into the council. While he measure authorizes the street commissioner merely to lay off his force of inspectors one-half at a time from Dec. 1 to April 1, it has been announced by the city counselor that those who are suspended in this manner will have to be formally reappointed and confirmed by the mayor before they can be reinstated on the city payrolls. This has caused ap- been at work prehension among those whom it was pro- a to lay off and the opposition to the'| ill on the part of street department em- see a and their friends has been ted. Mr. Varrelmann, anticipating the passage of the bill, has laid off one-half of the mem- | bers of his force and has commenced to AD- | ply to the work of street sweeping a part | of the $00 which .he planned to save by | his cut in the salary fund.

A wonderful dream was that of Baby Han- s0n Friday night. It all came of a talk he had with his mamma before she tucked him away in his little white bed. He was sitting by the fire and was just beginning to nod when his mamma drew her chair up close to his and said: “Now, precious, if you'll sit r.ght still, I'll tell you all about how the poor little boys and girls are going to see Santa Claus this year.”’ Joseph's eyes danced in the firelight. He wasn't sleepy any more. Mamma told him all about the Post-Dispatch Christmas Fes- tival Fund and how little boys and girls all over St. Louis were collecting money to make the poor happy. “‘And won't Santa Claus go to everybody's house, just like he comes here?” asked Joseph. “No, indeed,”’ sald mamma. “Santa will not remember the poor children unless the other boys and girls tell him he just has to.”’ “And what will the other boys and girls get for making Santa Claus remember the poor?” asked Joseph. “Oh, they will get ever so many good things,”’ said mamma. “Santa Claus will never refuse to do anything they ask.” Joseph was silent for a long time and then he asked: “If I give something for the poor, do you think Santa Claus will know it?’’ “Yes, _ precious,’’ said mamma. “The Post-Dispatch will be sure to tell him.’ “And will he give me anything I ask?’ “‘Mamma thinks he will.”” - When little Joseph went to bed he knew all about the Christmas festival. And here is what happened to him. He rode and rode on a trolley car until he was dizzy from going around corners. At last the car stopped, and the conductor Bhouted: “All out for the Coliseum.” Everybody got out and Joseph followed the crowd. He came to a *big door where a giant was standing. The giant frowned caught him by the arm. “You can’t come in here,’’ said the monster. “Yes, I can,” said Joseph, stamping his little foot. “Just send Santa here.”’ The. giant, brass buttons, trembled with fright. “Of course if you are a friend of Santa Claus it’s different,”’ he replied. When Joseph got inside and saw the big @rena’it was nearly ten minutes before he caught his breath. and | Claus out) who wore a blue suit with '§ “Walk right in.’’ | There were more people there than he. had ever seen before. looking at the biggest Christmas such a big one that it nearly touched the roof. too. other end of the them.

He was a good one, too. Why, he has painted very fair portraits of George and Martha Washington. He's quite an ar- tist. I suppose there are still some old signs in Indiana towns that Riley painted. Once he was traveling with a companion sign- artist and went to a farmhouse. There was a barn on the premises with a tempting expanse of outside wall. Riley got permis- sion from the woman of the house to pAint der, working away, with the job about half done, when a man approached and roughly ordered him to quit. Riley told the man that he had received permission to do the work, from the woman at the house. ‘* ‘She rents this farm, and I own it,’ was the reply. ‘Now you skedaddle!’ “Riley skedaddled, joining his partner, who was painting on the fence planks. Ten years later, when the sign painter had be- come a famous poet, the town near that farm tendered him a banquet. One of the banqueters said to the poet: ‘lt appears to me that I have seen you before.’ “Mr. Riley looked at him and replied: ‘I’m sure I have seen you before. You're | the man who ordered me to get down from a ladder when I was painting your barn.’ The two men are now firm friends.” Poet Riley is reticent about his age. He is | early 50 now.

WOOD YIELDED Famous ‘“‘New Memphis Baby’”’ Has at Last Been Returned to Its Mother and Belleville People Pleased. The famous ‘‘New Memphis baby,”’ a con- test for possession of which has been rag- ing for over two months, in which the peo- ple of two counties have taken a keen in- terest, has been returned to the arms of its mother, and the yearning of her heart has been satisfied. The contest was bétween the mother and the foster ngother of the child. The mother consented to be separated from the child when it was only three days old, for pru- dential reasons. She came near losing it forever. It was on.y regained by unremit- ting efforts and final resort to habeas corpus proceedings. The mother was not a wife when the chiid was born. Then she was Miss Mary Tonnies, the pretty daughter of a German- town farmer. Three days after the baby was. born in secret the mother placed it tenderly in the hands of J. B. Urbant, a young man employed on her mother’s farm, and charged him to take it to the St. Agnes Orphan Asylum in Belleville. She expected to regain it soon, under cover ol! adoption, and thus keep the child without sacrificing fher good name. The sistéars, because they did not know Urbant, refused to accept the child. He then turned it over to Overseer Hill, and he sent it to the county farm. In a few days Miss Tonnies came to Gellevilie and went to the county farm.to see the chi.d. She wanted to take it away, and wept when she was tod she cougd not. She limgered about the institution ail day, She was told that if the parents were not found she might get the child by adoption. her intention to do this.

When Miss Tonnies heard of it on her ‘next trip to Belleville she cou d not conceal She wus reminded that shé had not shown that she had any interest in the chi.d. Miss Tonnies thought that if she married and acknowledged the child as: hers she could get it. She went back to Germantown and she and Urbant went to Carlyle and were married. They then came to Belleville, /announced their wedding, acknowledged the child as theirs and tried to get it. They were was abandoned by its parents and was tak- en to any institution and cared for, the parents lost all their right, control and au- thority over the child. Two days ago habeas corpus proceedings were brought in the Circuit Court by Attor- Rebhan and James A. Far- mer. The proceeding was based on the con- tention that the child had not been aban- _doned by its parents because the mother had not intended that it should be aban- doned, and the father, at the time he aban- doped the baby was not the father within the meaning of the law, as he only acquired a right to dispose of the child after his sub-| “shaken hands and made up” sequent marriage to the mother.

VALUE OF GENEROSITY, The Post-Dispatch Christmas Fund is growim so healthily that a big festival is assured fer all the poor of the city, A gratifying feature in the work is the interest among children and young people. In some neighborhoods boys and girls are canvassing among their little friends, and collecting donations to swell the fund and add to the Christmas cheer, This is a good example—an example worth following. Girls and boys cannot learn too soon the value, as a factor in character, of generosity and sympathy. The present occasion is an opportunity for parents to en- force a lesson in this regard. The Christmas season is especially appropriate for the exercise of loving kindness and children may learn a lesson which will not be forgotten. Let all help out. It is a privilege, not a duty. i. | You must use your OWn judgment, It depends upon the lady's age — Rs tars ae sagt: Fy : ; Ty ~ 3 AIL URIS y— ™ ii. ° : Pp baw o ; a a ee en EE a ee ae a ae.

Small as well as large? sums are welcome and supplies of any sort will help the work along. = = —_— Se: WILL HE BRING BACK HIS REPUTATION ? Will Gen. Kitchener bring his reputation back with him when he returns to England from that “graveyard of repu- tations,” South Africa? The most difficult part of the conquest of the Boer nation is just beginning to appear. Under Generals Botha and De Wet the burghers are discouragingly active. Gen. Roberts did not add to his reputation in South Africa. He was lucky to get away when he did. And Kitchener, the great organizer, the man who thought and planned a cam- paign in the Soudan, for seven years, the man who, when he started on his expedition of hundreds of miles had the work so well in hand that he foretold the very day on which the final battle would be fought—Kitchener of Khartoum, will he lose his fame trying to de the impossible? For is it net impossible to conquer a people determined to be free? At any rate Gen. Kitchener will probably learn that it is one thing to organize victory over a horde of half-crazy fanatics, but quite another to overcome the intelligent resist- ance of a liberty loving people. = = § SS The railroads may prove to be the most successful reform- ers we have ever had. The Burlington Railway. Co. requires that its employes shall use no tobacco or liquor while on duty, and all railroads are disposed to guard themselves against dissipated employes. When a man must be good in order to hold his job he is under a restraint much more powerful than the average conscience. A drunken statesman may do more harm than a drunken soldier. Not only are his duties of great importance, but he is a conspicuous example. And so the American .soldier can- not see why intoxicating liquors should be kept out of the army while they are sold in the national capitol. a Re Mr: James L. Blair thinks that ‘our form of government in the larger cities is practically a failure.’’ Is the Democratic form a failure or is the trouble due to the abuse and misuse of the form? A good theory is often perverted to the uses of evil. This is especially true of government. _—_- - __—- = If Alaska is to Joad us up with copper‘as well as with gold, the peaceful Alaskan expansion will stand in strong con- trast with our seizure of the Philippines.

They left this busy scene and went into an obscure part of the town, to a low shov where iron, old rags, bottles, bones and greasy offal were bought. .A gray-haired rascal, of great age, sat smoking his pipe. Serooge and the Phantom came into the presence of this man, just as a woman with a heavy bundle slung into the shop. But she had scarcely entered when another woman, similarly laden, came in too, and she was closely followed by a man in fasled black. After a short period of blank as- tonishment. in which the old man with the pipe had joined them, they all three burst into a laugh. “Let the charwoman alone to be the first!’’ cried she who had entered first. “Let the laundress alone to be the second; and let the undertaker’s men alone to be the third. Look here. old Joe; here's a chance! If we haven't all three met here without meaning it!’ “You couldn't have met in a better place.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—St. Louis have two first-class teams next year.

On this | oceasion the leader of the American League | spoke as though St. Louis might be placed in the American League circuit, instead of either Milwaukee or Detroit. The Players’ Union Kas been turned down coldly by the magnates. This is another point in favor of the American in case’! of a war, The officers of the union are sorely disappointed at being ignored by the magnates and threaten to get even. They will hold a meeting here in a day or so and determine what action should be taken. As all of the stars of the profession are members of the union, it would be a body blow to the National if it was decided upon to join forces with = Americ an.

Allen Shaw, a clever little lad of 12 years, has the making of a great skater. Allen is a marvel in more ways than one. Hiis ability to skate fast is only a second- ary consideration to the cool manner in which he does things. In a race he is as cold as the frozen water beneath him. For a boy of his years he knows a great many things about the racing game. He takes the turns like a veteran, and Is al- ways going the short way around the rink. He can judge his pace surprisingly well, and will never lag behind his opponent if) he thinks the race is too slow. Shaw's burst of speed would make many ‘full-grown skaters show the white flag.

EXPOSITION BONDING BILL PASSED THE COUNCIL. DIRECTORS MAY NOT ACCEPT IT Theatrical, Operatic and Mercantile Entertainments in the Building Are Prohibited by the Bill. The Exposition bonding bill, so amended as to prohibit the Exposition management from renting Musié Hall for theatrical, op- eratic or mercantile purposes, was passed by the City Council Friday evening, after a spirited discussion. Whether the ordinance will be accepted in the form in which it passed the council will depend on the action of the directors of the Exposition. The bill will become op- erative when its terms are accepted by the tirectors, and the acceptance must take place 30 days after the signing of the bill by the mayor. If the board of directors of the Exposition does not accept the measure, matters will remain as before, and the management will be left without the bene: fits of the bonding privilege and with ne, restrictions on the uses to which the build ing can be put. n offering his amendment to the bill, Councilman Kratz claimed the Exposition management had been going into business not authorized by law, and that they should be restricted from further use of the buildings for theatrical or commercial pur- poses if they were to be granted the privi- es sought in the bill. Souncilmen Carroll and Thuner made sim- ilar arguments against allowing what they termed ‘“‘hoochee choochee”’ shows to oe given in the Exposition building. Capt. Hodges took the other side of the — declaring that no one but the theatrica managers of the city were interested in preventing the management from renting the hall for entertainment pu cited the attitude of the theat 1 mana- gers in opposition to certain building laws as a reason why they should not receive special consideration from the city. The section of the bill permitting the management to make alterations and re- pairs in the buildings was stricken out + motion of Mr. Richards, and the bill in its amended form bore little resemblance to the measure originally presented when this section was removed and the tz amend- —— adde - 1G essrs. Carro ast, Gaus, Kratz, Mey- senburg, Thuner, Wiggins and ~ 4 Meier voted to send the amended bill to ee. —~* a ne — votes .were | cast by Messrs es, Hoffman, Horton, Richards and Schnell.

A Few Reasons Which are Rapidly Making a New Catarrh Cure Famous, Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca- tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies: _ First: These tablets contain no co- caine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this 1s an impor- tant point when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objectionable ingredients. : Next: Being in tablet form this remedy does not deteriorate with age, or an ex- posure to the air as liquid preparations invariably do. Next: The tablet form not only pre- serves the medicinal properties, but it 1s so far more convenient to carry and td use at any time that it is only a question of time when the tablet will entirely su- persede liquid medicines, as it has already done in the medical department of the United States army. Next: No secret is made of the com- position of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets; they contain the active principle of Eucalyptus bark, red gum blood root and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics, which, however, are death to catarrhal germs wherever found, because they eliminate them [rom the blood. Next: You can not cure catarrh by lo- cal applications to the nose and throat. because these are simply local symptoms and such treatment can not possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease. which is the blood; for this reason, in- halers, douches, sprays and powders nev- er really cure catarrh, but simply give temporary relief, which a dose of plain salt and water will do just as well. Catarrh must be driven out of the sys tem, out of the blood, by an internal remedy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the blood. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets do this better than the old form of treatment becaus« they contain every safe specific known to modern science in the antiseptic tréat- ment of the disease — _ Next: The use of inhalers, and spray ing apparatuses, besides being ineffectiv: and disappointing. is expensive, while 2 bony lete treatment of Stuart's Catarr! ‘can be had at any drug store ir a Save Money.
