SLAYER TAKES HIS OWN LIFE SAMUEL MORRIS, EX-CLERK, COM- MITTED THE DEED. — Before Killing Himself He Had a Desperate Struggle With the Watchman, Who Is Bad- ly Beaten. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—F. H. Morris of Ohio, auditor for the war department, was: shot at 2:15 this afternoon in his office in the Winder building by Samuel McDonald, formerly a disbursing clerk in the office. Morris was hhot through the heart and died almost instantly. | , McDonald, who did the shooting, shot himself and cut his own throat. Before doing so he had a desperate strug- gle with the watchman of the building who tried to arrest him. The watchman was badly beaten about the head with the murder’s pistol. Samucl McDonald, who did the killing, had been the second disburser’s clerk in Morris office, but had been reduced. It is said that brooding over this led to the tragedy. Morris had been auditor for the navy de- partment, but was transferred to the pres- ent post a year ago on account of his good record. then CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 22.—The home of Frank H. Morris, who was shot and killed in Washington this afternoon, was in this city. He was formerly engaged in business here and had for a long time been recog- nized as a prominent and Iheding Repub- lican. He was appointed three years ago as auditor of the navy, department and sub- sequently was transferred to a similar po- sition in the war department. Mr. Morris was about 50 years of age. BOER EATEN AND ROBBED —_—_——e Edward Johnston of Pietersmaritz- burg Brutally Assaulted and $258 Taken From His Pockets. Edward Jéhnston, a full-blood Boer, born in Pietermaritzburg, was robbed of $258 by a man and woman in an alley on Thir- teenth, between Pine and Chestnut streets, Friday night. The: police have Goldie Daly, 1307 Chest- niit street, under arrest and are search- ing for her companion. Johnston has iden- tified the woman. Johnston arrived in St. Louis from Mount Morris, Mich.; three days ago and has been stopping at the Princeton Hotel, near Uniop Station. Friday night he was walking south on Thirteenth street. When at the alley, be- tween Pine and Chestnut, he was attacked. A fascinator was thrown around his head to keep him from making an outcry, and he was beaten into insensibility. The money, $258, was carried in an inside pocket. When Johnston recovered consciousness it was gone. Sergt. Nolte found the Boer suffering from numerous contusions of the head and took him to the dispensary. Johnston has been in America 15 years, going to Michigan upon his arrival. He had intended going to California, but now says he believes he will try to get back to Pietermaritzburg and fight with the Boers. PICKED VISITOR’S POCKET.

Tansey, Mr. Robbins and Others Spoke Against the Measure. For an hour and three quarters Friday | afternoon Chairman Wiggins and Council- men Hodges and Meysenburg, comprising the railroad committee of the council, ls- tened to arguments for and against the bill granting the Suburban Railway Co. a fran- chise to extend its tracks throughout va- rious portions of the city. The most vigorous objections to the pro- — — snes GOOD REASON FOR IT. The Success and Popularity of the New Catarrh Cure. The remarkable success and aygeee ! lablets, is largely cures catarrh, but because catarrh suffer- ers who use these tablets know what they are taking into their systems: no secret js |made ot what they contain. They are com- posed of Hydrastin, blood root, guaia- col and red gum, are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they ‘take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat, nasal passages and ithe whole respiratory tract. The cures that Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are little short of remarkable, and the ad- vantage of knowing just what vou are taking Into your system 1s of paramount importance when it 1s remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of us- ing secret catarrh remedies, as so many of them are well known to contain these injurious drugs. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with the ‘approval and cordial support of physi- cians because their antiseptic character renders them periectly safe for the genera! public to use and their composition makes i them a common sense cure for a]] forms of catarrhal trouble. With nearly all advertised catarrh cures /it is a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into the stomach, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of 'claims as to what their medicines will do. | ' | Shiai vabes are very careiul to keep it a close secret as to what they really contain. This is one reason why Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets have been so widely recom- mended, because they are not only pleas- ant and convenient to take, but ‘the pa- tient also knows he is not putting into | e is | trict. his stomach anything of an injurious character. These tablets are sold by druggists ev- erywhere in the United States and Cana- da at 50 cents for complete treatment and probably there is no better remedy ever devised for the ent cure of catarrh whether located in the head. throat, bron- or in the stomach, om. ‘ 4 ey TR ey ane ee posed measure came from the residents of | Forest Park boulevard and from the owners | of business property along Spruce street east of Twelfth. In addition to the com- pany’s representative the passage of the measure was warmly advocated by a num-| ber of residents of the outlying portions of | the city. When the hearing was opened, Mr. Wig- gins announced that he would be pleased to hear from those who favored the bill. President Charles H. Turner of the Subur- ban road replied that he would prefer to hear the objectors first and then offer ar- guments in answer to their objections, This arrangement was agreed to and EF. (. Robbins, representing the property-own- ers on Forest Park boulevard, levard was one of the finest residence streets in the country, that it was a dona- tion to the city and that no street railway should be allowed to spoil it. i1e objected to the Suburban putting tracks on the bouie- east of Boyle avenue, for fear that with that start it would eventually wish to run by using Duncan and Clark avenues, | Judge Dillon Argued Against the Measure. Judge Daniel Dillon argued against the | bill on legal grounds. Ile pointed out that the last legislature had passed a law for- bidding the granting of a street railway franchise except with the consent of a ma- jority of the property owners along the route of the proposed line. This consent had not been secured and the passage of the bill, he declared, would be in direct vio- lation of this statute. He had no doubt the law was constitut onal. Attorney Clinton Rowell was also certain the law was perfectly valid. He drafted It, he said, and it was ainsed to protect the property owners against assaults of greedy corporations upon their homes. Chancellor Chaplin of Washington Univer- | of the Cupples block, | bouleva rd to sity felt that the bill would lessen the value in which the univer- sity has a vested interest, if it became a ‘law, as it allowed a track to be buiit along 'narrow Spruce street on which the Cupples biock fronts. President George J. Tansey of the 8t Louis Transfer (o. also believed the con- | struction of a track down Spruce street | would seriously interfered with the busi- iness of his company’s large warehouse at Broadway and Spruce street. John P. Heinrichs objected to the bill on’ |a dozen different grounds It would per- ‘mit injury to Forest Park boulevard, ailow i|the company to sell to the transit com- pany, go into the express or freiaht busi ness, or do a variety of other things he considered harmful.

There were a dairy and a lumber yard there at present. While he appreciated the advantage of a dairy in a residence district, he beileved a atreet railroad would be an equally good thing. The company had no desire to run west on the Ning * highway just now. What it would want in lv) wr 1S vears he was not prepared to say.

At the Worlds Fair headquarters several unsought sub- scriptions are reported from out of town sources. This should stimulate citizens of St. Louis who have not yet subscribed, to come forward and be numbered among the co-operators in a great public enterprise. The organization of the commission for public welfare should likewise have a persuasive effect. Municipal rehabili- tation may be confidently expected as a result of the labors of the commissicn and those who may have hesitated to aid the Fair because of municipal conditions can no longer assign that as a reason for standing aloof. Complete the fund by the first of the year. Then national and State legislation can be asked for with a good grace and the work of actual preparation be immediately begun. BOO The Senate has dropped a big fly into the Administration ointment. ENOUGH MISTLETOE. Lovers need not be alarmed at the reported scarcity of mis- tletoe. A very small twig of this plant is as useful as a giant bunch. A whole tfee-full of mistletoe would carry no charm if there were no kissable maidens at hand. And on the other hand, a whole army of young men and misses could march beneath a single bit of the magic green no bigger than a damsel’s thumb and be supremely happy. Berries are desirable on mistletoe, but they are not essen- tial to its hidden virtue. In Europe it is the custom to hang oranges or apples in the bunch of mistletoe if it lack berries. A New Jersey tmoralist condemns the use of mistletoe at Christmas. Such a man would frown at the songbirds in May and forbid the lily’s opening. Since the Druids gathered the mistletoe with golden knives, men have rejoiced at the sight of this wonderful little plant. Christmas could not be kept without it. The child's festival would not be complete if the lovers had no share in it. eee The astonishment of the British Ambassador may seriously interfere with his enjoyment of the holidays. _ —- — oe NOBLE SERVICE The volunteers who will aid in making the Post-Dispatch End-of-the-Century Festival a success, by serving in person at the feast and elsewhere, will be doing noble service. The act and. the opportunity which cal!s for it are signifi- cant at this time, when all good men are looking for signs of the spirit of brotherhood as a hope for the new century. The Christmas Festival volunteers will go home after their work is done strengthened for the duties of life and conscious of duty weH done. eee The one-man torpedo boat which is to destroy whole navies ought to greatly lessen the appropriations for building war. ships. —_—~—- — - of PUBLICITY IS BENEFICIAL. A correspondent who signs himself ‘Parent’’ writes that it fa reckless and foolish to publish cases of kidnapping such as that from which Mr. Cudahy suffered, because it may encour- age other persons to emulate the successful criminals. In Asia Minor, where abduction and kidnapping go on al} the time, there is no publicity. The secrecy which is there caused by fear, collusion or lack of newspapers does not de- crease the number of cases. On the other hand, the criminals, are encouraged because of the expectation that the authori- ties may hear nothing of their misdeeds. How many families have been put on warning by the wide publicity of the Cudahy case? Had nothing been said of it, the children of parents who could pay ransoms would be in far greater danger than they are today, when all eyes have been opened to the villainy that is abroad. It is as impossible as it is foolish to prevent such crimes being known. The wise course is to spread the light of pub- licity as widely as possible, making the apprehenion and pun- ishment of the criminals more certain and warning their would-be emulators that their deeds cannot remain hid. = a > O-o It will be a hard winter for the Vanderbilts if they are to have to pay taxes on $16,000,000 of property upon which they have never before paid anything. —— = oe AN OBJECT LESSON IN SUBSIDIES. Forty years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading,.”’ said Thomas Jefferson. France has been paying ship subsidies steadily for 25 years. She is now paying $7,600,000 a year for them. : Norway pays no subsidies to her ships and never has done so. Here then is Jefferson's test of “experience,” and what does it show? Why, that while France, paying out subsidies larger in proportion to her population and wealth than those Mr. Hanna wants the United States to pay, has only increased her total shipping tonnage 200 per cent since 1875, while with. in the same quarter-century period little Norway has in- creased hers by almost 400 per cent—twice as fast. —--o0o- li Hung Chang might have made a great newspaper man of himself. He easily gets all the secrets that the foreign ministers are pledged not to disclose. HAZING. The undeveloped and the savage mind love a practical joke that causes injury. To tie a rope across a path or place a brick over a door so that the next person passing may get hurt is delightful to such a mind. The civilized mind ‘prefers more delicate humor. , is nothing but coarse practical joking carried to the extreme. It is absurd to look upon it from any other point of view. Boys and young men are not disinterested enough to practise hazing merely for the good of the hazed. Unless the hazers could get their elemental] kind of enjoyment from would etop it and look for “fun” elsewhere. hazing is not necessary in order to make brave men a + ede The program of municipal improvement undertaken by the Commission of Public Welfare is not too liberal. Efforts at reform have been ineffectuad in the past, largely because the city is in a constitutional straitjacket which prevents freedom of action along the lines of progress. It is acknowledged on all sides that both the'state constitu- ment, when adopted and for many years subsequently, have been outgrown and now hinder instead of promoting the common good. The committee recommends a new constitution which shall enable the city to increase the bonded debt, the increase be- ing absolutély necessary to meet pressing emergencies and put the city in the way of undertaking public works required by modern conditions. This is wise and necessary, but it must not that the causes of municipal destitution are to be found not only in the antiquated constitution and charter. Provision be forgotten must be made for an efficient administratiop of government, economy in all the departments, and an honest expenditure of public funds. Machine methods must be set aside and a mérit system established which shall prevent any revival of wasteful and corrupt practices. Moreover the system of tax- ation and must be overhauled, especially with reference to the taxation of franchises, so that that species of property shall no longer escape its share of the municipal assessment burden. The defects of the charter may, in the opinion of the com- mittee, be remedied by the proposed amendments. But it is a question whether a new charter is not better than patch- work. In brief. a radical revision of the entire municipal system is required, accompanied by assurances of a sound, honest and ef- ficient administration. The city must be relgased from the constitutional fetters imposed a generation a o and the merit system safely established in all the departments, if we are to achieve the desired result and make St. Louis a modern city of the first. class. Seen aacowe ee How much the Administration has aided in the war against the Boer republics may be inferred from what Lord Beres- ford has Written in the North American Review. He says, “If British sympathy preserved the United States from for. eign interference during the war with Spain, it is none the less true that the reason why continental rage against the british people has not been converted into action during the troubles in South Africa is the fear that an Anglo-American combination might result, and that such a combination woulda not be wholesome for the other aspirants after military glory.” a and It is now telegraphed from Manila that the return of so many volunteers to the United States will result in renewed “insurgent” activity. Are we to suppose that the large forces of Filipinos recently reported to have surrendered will again take the field. and can it be possible that the defeat of Bryan is still unknown to the Filipino leaders who have heretofore easily obtained all kinds of American news? = = “ ~~ Te Not only is ki.mperor William desirous of building ships for the sea, but he wants airships, and he has just put $1000 of his own money into an airship enterprise.
