Last spring he came | along and learned that my husband had ' died. He said he had a jewelry store in Kansas City, but was selling out and would locate here, in the jewelry business. “Mr. Bennett told me was a lonely woman, as l was, and that I needed some one to help manage the hotel. He said he was a lonely man—no one to care for him. He said he had been a widower for six years and had no children. He pleaded so ard, and so well, that I consented to marry him, and we went to the home of Mr. Pike, my son-in-law; and were married. “Then after a few days he said he had been offered a position to travel] for his “hicago house, at $100 a month and ex- penses, chose his own territory. He went to Warrensburg and wrote me that he would go to Chicago and accept the place. [t was 10 days before I heard from him igain, and we just married! Then he wrote 1e from Leavenworth saying he was trayv- ‘ling, and would be there but a. few hours, for me not to write till I heard from him. “He wrote from Kansas cy St. i and other places; but all the time, A found out later, he was visiting one oft his wives in Kansas City or the one tn T He came back about the 4th of July, with only a few nickels in his pocket, explaining that he had met a lawyer from Kentucky, to whom he had paid most of his months salary as a fee to get him to look after the ‘state of Mr. Bennett's father. He said he expected to get $1600 out of the estate, but “T believed in him. He was so good to me, as it seemed. I bought the store from my son-in-law, and put'Mr. Bennett in charge, as he said he wanted to be at home, He ran the store. and I found out later that he sold goods at any price to get money, and he sent money every week to his wife, Miss Ivy Koble, In Topeka. He was in love with her, but she wanted nothing to do with him. He Advertised Store for Sale. “Things ran along, and I never suspected that he was married to ether women or- that anything else was wrong with him until one dav Mr. Pike read in the Kansas City Star an advertisement of the grocery stock for sale cheap, signed T. H. Bennett, kKnobnoster. Mo. Mr. Pike said, ‘Mother I don't belleve that man is right.” But i still belleved in him, until one ay my son- in-law went into the store and found him writing a letter, which he hastily crumpél up and stuck in a showcase. That look suspicious, but still I never dreamed he was a bigamist. “But you know what a woman's curiosity is.

In the first place, it is absolutely out of the question to figure on a combination with any other fusionist than Mr. Bryan. The fusion votes could not be transferred by any other man than W. J.

FIFTEEN NEW REGIMENTS THERE ARE ALSO TEN COLONELS TO BE MADE BRIGADIERS. Among These It Is Certain That Gen. Adna R. Chaffee of China Fame and Col. S. S. Sumner in the Philippines Will Be Recognized. WASHING PON, Dec. 22.—At least 25 regl- ments will #e commanded by new colonels as a reSult of the reorganization of the army proposed by the pending legislation in Congress. This will mean the promotion of 25 lieutenants-colonels in three arms of the service. The bill passed by the House, and that reported by the Senate military committee, provide for an increase of five regiments of cavalry and five regiments of infantry, and the artillery arm, under the Senate bill, is also increased five regiments. This means the appointment of the follow- ing officers in command of the new regi- ments; Cavalry—Lieutenant-Colonels A. B. Wells, Ninth Cavalry, now serving in the Philip- pines; T. J.

DEMANDS MADE OF Tht ChiNtst Text of the J oint Note Issued by the Powers. PUNISHMENT FOR ALL BOXERS EQUITABLE INDEMNITIES TO THOSE WHO SUFFERED LOSS. Destruction of Forts Between Pekin and the Sea—Public Apology to Germany for Killing of Minister. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—The state de- partment today made public the text of the joint note of the powers to China. The of- ficial statement folllows: ‘“‘Department of State, Washington, D. C. —The following English version is under- stood to be in substantial equivalence with the French text of the note to be addressed to the government of China, as agreed upon by the representatives of the co-operating powers at Pekin, Dec. 4, 1900, and subse- quent!y amended before signature: “During the months of May, June, July and August of the current year, serious disturbances broke out in the norfhern prov- inces of China, in gvhich atrogious crimes unparalleled in history and outrages against the law of nations, against the law of hu- manity, and against civilization, were com- mitted, partly under odious circumstances, The principal of these crimes were the 1fol- lowing: 1.On the 20th of June his excellency, Baroy von Ketteler, while on his way tv the Tsung Li Yamen, in the performance of his official functions, was murdered by soldiers of the regular army, acting under orders of their office. 2. On the same day the foreign legations were attacked and besieged. The attacks continued without intermission until the 14th of August, on which date the arrival of the foreign forces put an end to them. These attacks were made by the regular troops, who joined the boxers, and who obeyed the orders of the court emanating from the imperial palace. At the same time the Chinese government officially declared, by its representatives abroad, that it guar- anteed the security of the legations. 3. On the llth of June, Mr. Sujyama, chan- cellor of the legation in Japan, while in dis- charge of an official mission, was killed by regulars at the gates of the city. In Pekin and in several provinces foreigners were murdered, tortured or attacked by the Box- ers and the regular troops, and such as es- ‘aped death owed their salvatfon solely to Their es- ablishments were looted and destroyed. “4. Foreign cemeteries, at Pekin especial- ly, were desecrated, the graves opened and the remains scattered abroad. These occurrences necessarily led the for- eign powers to dispatch their troops to China to the end of protecting the lives ot their representatives and nationals and res~- toring order. During their march to Pekin the allied forces met with resistance from the Chinese army and had to overcome 1t by. force. “Inasmuch as China has recognized her responsibility, expressed regret, and evinced a desire to see an end put to the situation created by the aforesaid disturbances, the powers have determined to accede to her request upon the irrevocable conditions enumerated below, which they deem too In- dispensable to expiate the crimes committed and to prevent their recurrence.

P There is no other disease so :many-sided in its ill effects, so insidious in its ap- system, as la grippe. Once there, until it is cured. La grippe is one of the ills that time will not cure. The after-effects of la grippe do not lo- cate in any particular organ. It amounts to a general irritability of the mucous membranes of the whole body—a flabbiness and paleness of the mucous membrane. Sometimes there is an over-amount of thin, watery mucus secreted, and at other times there is a dryness of the mucous surfaces. iwhere is no remedy in the world that better than the remedy Peruna. Peruna strengthens as it renovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as it expurgates. Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic, or. sedative, or stimulant, or mineral poison.

The successful doctor nowadays is the one who is quick to avail himself of anv remedy, new or old, which holds out a chance of cure, no matter whether it js Allopathic, Homeopathic or neither one. Dr. Jennison, in an interesting article on indigestion and dyspepsia, says: “Nine-tenths of all people, who apply to me for advice and treatment think they have this ailment or that ailment. but ] find on close examination that. their whole trouble arises from poor digestion. “They have little appetite and if they do have an -appetité the food they eat does them no good- Why?

- ; ‘. ' ~ SUNDAY MORNING—8T.- LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER23, 1900. CHRISTMAS AT WHITE HOUSE - — To Be Entirely Devoid of Any Display. RELATIONS WILL BE GUESTS rr ee ae ee MRS. M’KINLEY WILL REMEMBER HER FRIENDS. Gifts to Cabinet Officers’ Wives and Appropriate Little Things for the Children of Officialdam. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, IAT. Pennsylvania avenue, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22. There will be @ quiet, homelike celebra- tion of Christmas at the White House. Mr. and Mrs. Abner McKinley and George 38. Moss have already arrived and possibly Mr. and Mrs. Hermanus Baer, the latter formerly Miss Mabel McKinley, may come on Monday evening. The President and Mrs, McKinley have made a habit since oceupy- ing the White House to have only members of their family at the Christmas dinner, and it was served almost identically as gheir hoHday meal would be at Canton. Mrs,“Mc- Kinley has completed all her Christmas gifts and they are neatly wrapped in w&ite tissue paper, tied with scarlet ribbon witn a little bunch of holly nestling in the folds awaiting delivery by messenger on Christ- mas evening. Every lady in the cabinet and all the close personal friends of Mrs. McKinley receive a remembrance which She herself has fashioned and designed. This year sachet bags of Japanese silk divide honors with slippers and pulse warm- ers. The President gives the members of his official family some substantial remem- brance, and each employe of the White House receives a token from both the Presgnt and Mrs. McKinley. Although only a family party is invited to dinner, the White House is by no means devoid of visitors at this season of good will. The children of the higher official set and the diplomatic corps will call dur- ing the course of the morning to pay,their respects to the first lady of the land. They always receive a hearty welcome and carry away With them boxes of bonbons. One of the features of this levee is the Chinese minister’s little son, carrying a bouquet nearly as big as himself. He is always one of the first to arrive. This youngster is one of the most welcome guests at the White House. He is considered to have diplomatic talent, as he early in his short life betrayed a most sincere admiration for Mrs Mchinley. When presenting his offering he always makes some quaint and retty speech. The little children of Dr. tixey, Mrs. McKinley’s physician, always come on Christmas morning with a pres- ent which they themselves have selected and purchased with money saved during the vear. The little son of Sec retary Long is always a regular visitor, and receives quite an ovation, as he is the only small child in the cabinet. The holiday season in the cabinet family will not be marked by any special events. , he family of the secretary of state is in mourning and will extend no hospitalities whatsoever. Secretary and Mrs. Gage will entertain a party of friends from Chicago among whom will be Mrs. EB. C. Pierce of Evanston, the daughter of Mrs. Gage. The secretary of war and Mrs. and Miss Root have invited a number of young people from New York City and West Point. Mrs. Charles Emory Smith willl. have Miss Vir- ginia Warner Millep as her guest during (Christmas week. An unusual number of dances have been scheduled for Christmas week and nearly all the young people in official life have in- vited young people to Washington to be present at these affairs.

Prediction Made by Commander Ki- yozo Oda, of the Japanese Navy, Who Has Been Studying Naval Mattetrs in England Lately. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.—Among the ar- rivals at the St. Charles Hotel was Kiyozo Oda, a commander in the Japanese navy, and a man of wide learning and superior at- tainments. Commander Oda is on his way to Japan from England, where he has been for the past 18, months studying English naval matters, such as construction of bat- tleships, methods of training sailors, etc. He visited the arsenal at Washington and the Naval demy at Annapolis on his way from New ‘York to New Orleans, “T have been on a to Engiand for the Japanese government,” he said to a reporter, ‘‘and have been devoting my time to the study of any and everything pertaining to naval matters. 7 he Japanese government has both army and navy of- ficers in all the vrincipal iuropean coun- tries as well us in the United States. They are acquiring what information they can which mav be useful to Japan. tor in- stance, I took great interest in studying; the construction, as well as I could, of the Holland submarine boat, which I saw at Annapolis. It is a wonderful boat, and will be useful in time of war. I can see how dangerous one of the Holland boats would be in attacking a battleship. I shall report to the Japanese government con- cerning it.’ ‘Is the Japanese navy being strengthened at this time?’ | “We have a very fine navy as it is.

SLAYER TAKES HIS OWN LIFE SAMUEL M’DONALD, EX-CLERK, COMMITTED THE DEED. War Before Killing Himself He Had a Desperate Struggle With the Watchman, Who Is Bad- ly Beaten. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, 1347 Pennsylvania avenue, WASHINGTON, Dec. 24, Special to the Post-Dispatch. Frank H. Morris of Cleveland, auditor of the war department, was shot down and killed in his office in the Winder building this afternoon by Samuel McDonald ct Steubenville, O., former disbursing clerk for that office. The murderer turned the weapon on him- self, firing a bullet through his left side, just below the heart. Fighting his way through carridors, crowded with excited clerks, some of whom endeavored to seize him, and, waiving his pistol as if ready to shoot, McDonald esc aped to the outside of the building. There he seated himself on a bag of ce- ment and sought to do with a knife what the revolver failed to do. He made a vl- cious lunge at his throat, barely missing the carotid artery. With a pistol and knife he kept back the crowd until the police ar- rived, when he was disarmed and sent to a hospit: il for Areatment. McDonald gave Auditor Morris no chance. He boldly walked into his office and began to shoot. Four times he wildly fired at Mr. Morris, but one shot, which passed through the heart, killed him instantly. When McDonald called at Mr. Morris’ of- fice about 2:25 p. m. He anounced that he would like to talk with the auditor pri- vately, and a colored messenger and a clerk were dismissed from the room. evidently no suspicion in the mind of Mr. Morris, although it was manifest that Mc- Donald had been drinking.

Poor China is in such trouble with all the European nattons that there is no chance of a fight there. Bnt 1 be- lieves sooner or later we shall have to tight Russia. I believe that conflict is inevitable.” “How does the Japanese navy compare with that of Russi?’ ‘Taken as a whole, the Russian navy Is superior to ours’ in mumber of ships, but Russia couldn't use all of them in fight- ing us. She couldn’t take her fleet away from the Dardenelles. I believe the Jap- anese are better sailors than the Rus- sians. The Russians are good soldiers, but they are not good sea fighters. They are not as good marksmen as the Japa- nese. “The Japanese then ?’’ “Very good. The Americans lead the world in marksmanship, but I have made a careful study of the target practice of the English war vessels and they com- pare unfavorably with ours. We can Shoot better than the English. We give a great deal of attention to target prac- tice.’ ‘“‘In the event of a great international war involving the entire - world, what stand would Japan take?’’ “We would form an allianee with England and the United States‘and the rest of the nations of the world would be swept from the seas. Such a war may come—it is probable that it will ecome—and if it does you will find Japan in the triple alliance l have mentioned.’ “Hasn't the Marquis Ito done more than any otper man in Japan to bring peal country into the front rank of na- tions “He certainly has. The Margutts Ito came to this country 35 years ago to ac- quire western knowledge. He was a very poor student, as he was then an invalid. He never achieved much honer in his class- es, but when -he returned to Japan it was discovered that he had acaulired a vast amount of information and could put it to better practical use than anv other man. It was his example that introduced Buro- pean dress into Japan."’ “Do you prefer the European dress to the native costume of Jap@n”’ “In some ways I do, in others I do not. In winter the European dress is more com- fortable and in summer the Japanese is preferable. The Japanese dress is much rettier than the other, and for that reason don't like to see it go, but it has a ten- dency to make one lazy. Wh@ we wore the Japanese dress we sat on the floor, and no man can be very energetic who is in the habit of sitting on the floor.

Naturally she lis- tened. ‘‘What was the name of the man who was killed?’ one of the women asked the other. “Frank Morris, 1 believe it was, was the reply. “He was the auditor for the war devartment.

LAPORTE, Ind., Dec. 22.—It develops that HI. N. Birt of Tipton County, this state, who disappeared about a year ago, leaving two wives to mourn his duplicity, and was later located on the Pacific coast, where two more wives were abandoned by the bigamist, has within the last two months taken unto himself two more wives, mak- ing a total of six whose confidence he has wantonly betrayed. The story of Birt’s crimes comes in letters to the two Indiana wives written by his victims. Birt enjoys the distinction of having had this number of wives within a period of less than ten years. The rapid increase in the number of women he has married and} abandoned, there being no record of any | divorce proceedings, has been augmented to the extent of three within the current year. There is method in Birt’s madness. Four of his alliances have been financially prof- itable to him. He is believed to be in Oregon and the search for him is being prosecuted by the two.

When ‘he did not appear at his home in the morning search was made for him wand he was found lying on the floor of the| house, almost unconscious.

MOAB, Utah, Dec. 22.—News of the dis- covery on Dec. 1 of an old Spanish mine in the Blue Mountains in San Juan County, 65 miles south of here, has just reached Moab. A. J. Strouse, the locator, is a believer in Spiritualism. By direction of spirits, he says, his daughter wrote on a slate that he was to go to the Blue Mountains and he would find an old Spanish mine. a minute description of the locality was given. The information was also given that the mine would make Strouse wealthy. Strouse left home Nov. 28 and following the route described, found the place indicated. He began to dig and soon uncovered the mouth of an old tunnel that had been care- fully covered over. He uncovered a large flat stone hiding the entrance and found the opening, just as had been described. Strouse at ence went to Monticello to put his discovery on record. It is a matter of history, records of which have been found among _ the archives of Mexico, that a rich mine known as the Jo- se phine had been worked by the Spanish, but it was thought to be in southwestern Utah, and many prospectors have searched | for it in vain.

M. Crunden, public li- brarian, selected the following as productions of unusual merit: POT OAADAAA AAAI OOP PFO THE GOLD MEDAL. ODADAS ’ O14 Monsieur Legarde’s pet story was 4 rigamorole about a gold medal the great Napoleon had given him after Austerlitz. And in the early days of St. Louis, when the center of the town's population was much to the southward of Market strect, Monsieur Legarde was a man who had to be taken into consideration. He was like those awkward problems in the arithmetic they must be worked somehow. Nobody ever knew the correct version of old Legarde’s story. When at each itera- tion the raconteur gives his imagination the reins, people are apt to be confused. An attack of indigestion, a too fond contem- plation of his wine jug, a dearth of gossip, all induced a new twist to the old tale. But old Legarde had many other than the Napoleonic story. Bah! He was a man of euperiatives. You caught a big fish? Old Legarde could tell you of a much bigger fish he had taken. You purchased a fine mare? Yes, but Legarde once owned a much finer.. Neighbor Martin's melon crop was prolific? Ah, but not to compare with @ crop old Legarde once grew. There were more popular men than he in the town in those halcyon days of the city. . And had a stroke of misfortune overtaken this loquacious old Frenchman, he would have had to think twice before he could ap- peal to anyone under the hallowed claim of friendship; that is to say, if we except his dear friend Ragout, the grocer. Ragout heard old Legarde’s thousand and one tales of the Napoleonic medal stoically. If he had his favorite version, or rejected them all, he gave no intimation of It. In the pioneer days most of the bulls were merely inflated frogs, and Ragout himself was puffed out; you see, that rogue of a Legarde, had led him to believe he was gomething of a philosopher, and Ragout’s Mttle aphorisms were retailed about by his friend as virile wisdom. For years this strongly cemented (7) friendship withstood the ¢rucial tests that close intimacy entails. But, alas! there came a day—— It was one October evening, when the first chill was perceptible in the air. Old Le- garde had just returned from his last signal lamp. The marshes and creeks of Caronde- let were made apparent to might travelers by danger lights, in those times, which af- forded Legarde an occupation and the priv- fiege of considering himself a government employe and official—always a highly edi- fying grant to the Gallic nature, and par- ticularly so to Monsieur Legarde. “Hello, Legarde,”’ shouted Ragout from amidst the group of idlers in front his store, “tere is Monsieur Sabat, just up from New Orleans. He was at Austerlitz. Tell him about your medal.”’ At this ominous suggestion there was an “Ah! YouP’” Said Ragout. “Ah! You?” Returned Legarde. —‘THE GOLD MEDAL.” i SANTA CLAUS--- BURGLAR, William Burns is a burglar, Chief Des- mond knows him and has his picture in his collection. His fellow burglars called him Old Man Burns for two reasons. One was that he _was old, and the other was that he wore a gray beard and long gray hair. When the the other burglars made fun of his beard and hair, the old man defended them on the dual ground that they tended to avert suspicion and their removal worked an in- Stant disguise. On Christmas Eve, 189— Burns sallied forth to steal. In his pockets were a ‘‘jim- my’’ and many skeleton keys, and under his coat was a stout bag. As he walked the street one might have mistaken him for a retired mechanic of independent means or an old minister. His appearance and man- ner breathed of benevolence and gentleness. Yet Chief Desmond will tell you that he is a determined and a desperate criminal. Burns calculated rightly that on Christ- mas Eve most of the residents of the lo- cality he had selected as the scene of his operations would be out until iate. He took a Lindell car to Garrison Avenue Pilgrim Church chimed 11 o'clock as he alighted and walked slowly west. After he passed Comp- ton avenue he scrutinized the houses, At Leonard he turned north to the alley, and no one being in sight he passed into its shadow. He walked briskly east to a certain house. A light shone from the third-floor window— that of the servant’s room, he knew. Through a space under the shade he saw enough to assure him that the servants were retiring. The alley gate fastened with a latch, following day, Ragout smiled serenely in enjovment of his coup and the discomfiture pictured on Legarde’s face. But Legarde met intrigue with intrigue. Ragout'’s house was situated on a road run- ning west from the river. It was isolated from the more settled part of town, and the light was the sole one off from the di- rect line of lights along the river. Tad there been a single other lamp en route, or another resident near the pond oppo- Site Ragout’s house to request the illu- mination, the lamp could not so readily be dispensed with. Before the new order went into effect, Legarde had induced a new arrival in town (having carefully refrained from narrat- immediate dispersion of the crowd. Old Le- garde looked at his friend suspiciously and then related a horrible, new version that. even shocked his old friend. “Really,” satd | Ragout, “my dear Legarde you are letting the kite out too far.” “What do you mean?” said Legarde, “Oh, 16 men with one sweep of your sword! Mon Dieu!” "Yes, fifteen!’’ “Oh! You told Monsieur Ribot only 12, yesterday!”’ | “My dear Ragout, your memory is failing you.” “My dear Legarde, not at all. Your {m- agination’’—— “My what? My imagination? my imagination? You?” ‘Yes, I say your imagination, since you ask me; your imagination. I will say it in French if you prefer.” “No, your French would be incomprehen- : I can never grasp the patois.”’ “Tet me tell you, Monsieur Legarde, my plain French is better, in its simplicity, than your fantastical tales of your Na- poleonic meda®”’ “Monsieur Ragout, you are insulting!” “And we would like to see your medal some of us.” “Monsieur Ragout, you are a rogue!” “Monsieur Legarde, you are a liar! And ff you have any of your Austerlitz valor left—which I doubt—I am ready to knock the top of your head off to amuse myself.”’ “ “Ah! you talk like this to a decrepit old man. Well, I deserve the rebuke. I made @ mistake in taking you for my bon com- rade. I ought to have remembered that your early environment would always show its effects in vsu. The box that incases the cheese never loses the odor of the cheese.”’ The quarrel was complete. Legarde ac- cused Ragout of being short in his weights “and measures. Ragout said Legarde was slow pay. Many shortcomings each had detected, but been blind to, under the halo of friendship, were now cruelly resurrected, and either searched in the mind for the unkind word and thought to stab the heart of his old friend. And the loungers stood about and jfested with both men. “All the same, Legarde used the biggest words.” “Yes, and the most words.” “Yes, and it’s the fellow who talks best rather than the fellow who fights best who gets medals.’’ “You are right there, Mibot."’ “Just the same, it’s the fellow who shows his medals who really gets these medals. rather than the fellow who talks about them."’ “Legarde is a hero, nevetheless.” “How is that?’ “You forget he married the widow La Rose?" From Carondelet uptown the news of the quarrel spread rapidiy. For weeks it was Gaily discussed. One day old lLegarde received a letter from the municipal authorities, stat- ing that owing to the insufficient appropri- ations a curtailment of expenses was nec- essary; the light in front of the residence eof Mr. Robert Ragout, opposite the pond, was no longer deemed essential by Mr. Ra- gout; it was regretted that the office found it necessary to reduce his stipend one-half, from the first of November. “Ah! exclaimed Legarde; ‘‘the scoundre!! You say ing to him the Austerlitz story) to build a cabin opposite the Ragout house. Le- garde also saw to it that this man notified the authorities of his presence by the pond. Later, Legarde received another letter, rescinding the previous order. Ah, but that light blinded Ragout. All those pretty little aphorisms that he gave out as lagniappe to his customers with his prunes, his rice, his flour, availed him noth- ing in appeasing his wrath. He could util- ize none of his philosophy in his rage. It was Legarde’s turn to laugh. He made the rounds of the taverns, ‘and, buttonholing everybody, acquainted them with his coun- ter-ruse. Of course, he did not fail to re- iterate his wreat story. November came. The steamboats from the South before the closing of the river traffic were crowded with passengers. Legarde spent his days meeting the boats at the landing. Several emigrants asking his ad- vice for a site to build, he recommended the neighborhood of the Ragout pond. When the door is twice locked the horse is doubly safe. That rogue of a Ragout was so acute. But as Legarde thought this, a sad fecling passed through his mind—those happy evenings; those pipes over the game of piquet with his old friend. But banish a Legarde g rounds. the thought! After a while the neighborhood of Ragout pond assumed the dignity of a hamlet. Rag- out shrewdly opened a branch grocery op- posite his house and his place of business thrived. This kept Ragout more frequently about his home, and he almost daily met when the latter made his even- {If the loss of those evenings at cards, those pipes, were so keenly felt by Legarde, he missed those imported delicacles—spa- ghetti and, parmesan cheese—which could be procured only at Ragout’s—equally as much. He had even stooped to the subter- fuge of sending emissaries to purchase them, but Ragout, knowing Legarde’s gas- tronomical weaknesses, let his hatred take the upper hand of his cupidity and refused to sell them. Poor Legarde certainly was aging rapid- ly. The rime of December was coincident with a frosting of the old man’s hair, which told in itself a far more concise story than its owner ever did. , The winter was very severe that year. The snows lay so thick on the ground that deer and wolves were frequently seen with- in the settlement in search of food. Christmas eve a particularly severe storm came out of the northwest.

Ragout saw Le- | garde approaching, falteringly, through the deep snow. Then his averted glance took ip his own cOésy home—to the white curtain fire—the shadows of happy children in the ecstatic enjoyment of the hallowed season. When Ragout turned his head to look at his old friend they were face to face. “Ah! you,” said Ragout, obeying a natural impulse. “Ah! you,” returned Legarde. There was the ineffable happiness of the auld lang syne in those two sentences. Mme. out set an extra plate at table that evening. And what a merry part they were, madame, the three boys and two isaw it so cold innocently. with the glowing reflection from a big grate; * “Bah!” said Legarde, “this is nothing.

The house threw the rear yard into the shadow. Burns passed around to the side entrance, which was cut off from view of the street Sy a corner of the house. The door was locked, but one of his many keys opened it. Burns found himself in a small hall, connecting with the front hall, and also with a back stairway. A light burned dimly fn the front hall, and the house was silent. Burns was sure the master and mistress were away, and he knew that by this time the servants were snoring on the third floor. He had a clear field. He decided to go upstairs first. Maybe madame, in selecting her toilet, had left jewels on the dresser. He walked nolse- lessly up the back stairs and to the front | Another jet burned low there. | By its light he saw clothing scattered about | the room and a disordered dresser.

The child’s red-gold hair was tumbled over the flushed face, Burns paused involuntarily beside the bed to admire the fresh beauty of the little girl. At the foot of the bed hung two stockings, bulging ludicrously with their weight of joy. Burns started to pull out the contents of a stocking, suspecting the presence of valu- ables. In his hand was his bag. “You are Santa Slaus, aren't you?” Burns jumped and whirled toward the The little girl was sitting up, re- garding him with wide eyes. “I caught you, Santa Claus,” she sald, pointing her finger at him and gurgling with laughter. Burns dropped the stocking and stepped back, looking anxiously toward the door. For once he was not equal to the emer- gency. His first impulse was to escape. But why should he run from a Uttle girl, who, because of his long beard and hair, had taken him for Santa Claus? He decided not to run. “This is a queer go,” he thought, “Jim Burns playin’ Santa Claus.” “You were just fillin’ my stockin’, weren't you?’ said the child. Burns did not reply; his questioner hardly wave him time. She had risen and was standing at the foot of the bed. “Oh, your bag is empty,” she exclaimed. f | Antarctic Ice Co.

This would add to his already established repu- industry, and woulda help him | to get through what promised to be a dull ‘You Are Santa Claus, Aren’t You?” —‘SANTA CLAUS—BURGLAR.” | day. A year before Doc had felt something like compassion for the two men who had to “stick”’ at the office while he was playing the part of Santa Claus at a house on Lin- Stead avenue. I{is gift to the daughter of the household had not been an expensive one, for it was but two months before that he had turned over to a jeweler the con- tents of his month's salary envelope in payment for a diamond ring with two sets of initials engraved within the band. Helen was wearing the ring for the first time on the morning when Doc called to present in person the, big-heart-shaped box of candy which was his Christmas offering to her. He did not know that the messen- shat gk ts he had met a block from her home carried in his overcoat pocket a tiny parcel addressed to himself, and Helen did not tell him. But when he reached his boarding house late that night he found his sweetheart's gift, a locket in which her pie- ture in miniature faced his own. “Are you through ‘stributin’ presents? You didn’t come down our chimney,.did you?” Burns shook his head. ***Cause we haven't got any big enough,” she continued. She examined him critically and was evi- dently pleased with the survey. “You're just like the pictures, only you haven't got on a fur coat; but they're out of style.”’ % Then a new thought came te her. “Santa Claus,’’ she said, very earnestly, “who gives you presents?” *‘Nobody,”’ said Burns, truthfully, for the first time finding his voice. ‘You don’t get any presents?” — was a note of pity in the child's voice. “I don’t think that’s nice at all. You give everybody presents and nobody gives you a single one.” She thought for a full minute; it was a very knotty problem. Burns changed un- easily from one foot to the other and watched her furtively. “O! O! O!” she fairly squealed with joy, her face breaking into dimples. ‘I know what I'll do. You shall have a Christmas like other people. I'll be Santa Claus. Of course you can’t hang up your stocking, or anythin’ like that, but we can play you did. You can hide your eyes and we can make out that your bag is your stocking. Won't it be nice, Santa Claus?’’ The ghost of a smile fiiltted across Burns’ face, lighting it benignly. The child was watching him closely and the smile satis- fied her. She was too full of her project to be particular about his reception of her suggestion. She had climbed out of bed and now stood before him, a vision of child-loveli- ness, a white nightgown from the hem of which peeped little pink toes. “Come on, Santa Claus,’ she said, tak- ing his hand. Burns shrank from her touch; it flashed across his mind that his hand would soil hers... But she had no such thought. His big hand tin her tiny one, she almost dragged him across the room. In the limht of the hall he hesitated. She looked at him inqutringly. “Your mamma and papa might come,” he said. ‘“‘No they won't,” she said. ‘‘They will be | late. If they should come, they wouldn't | hurt Santa Claus.”’ Burns said no more, but permitted him- self to be led downstafrs and into the din- “Gentlemen, I Introduce the Thirteenth Man!” —‘THE THIRTEENTH GUEST.” — In the week between Christmas and New Year's, Doc’s industry had been duly noted at the office. “If the Antarctic ever has a message to send to Nansen, they won't pass by Doc's desk in looking for a messenger,’ the head bookkeeper had re- marked. S ‘I'd like to hear the old man make that sort of a talk,’’ was Doc’s brief reply. And the only time which he lost trom his work was that which was spent in snatch- ing glances at a picture in the locket which dangled from his watch chain, and in counting the days which would elapse before his promised raise in salary, fust beyond which lay visions’ of a quiet home wedding on Linstead avenue. But al this was a year ago. Since then the lovers had quarreled, the solitaire ri had come back to Doc, and the locket ha been returned to Helen. ‘‘The stuff's off,” Doc had said to his roommate, and the lat- ter, knowing his friend to be a man of few words, had not asked for detaltis.

I shivered, —- my bravado. The raised ‘hand of the dead man be- gan to fall. It fell in ag ee slowly and stiffly. and at each step it halted. As God is my witness, I swear that at each descending step it was aimed straight at some member of oun party. One by one it singled out one of the mockers. Seven were numbered. I saw each man shiver as that accusing finger singled him out. It was past human endurance. No man could keep his wits while the finger of the dead man numbered him off. I suffered more than chose who were picked in that dreadful tally. The others were forgotten while I prayed for Roger. I would have given my life at that instant to have kept that damning finger from pointing to the man I loved. I tried to seize the falling arm. My feet refused to rmy weight. 1 could only watch. I saw that devilish finger fall and sink until, for a moment, it rested on the man that T loved. It was the expiring effort. The dead hand swayed beside the dead body and the phos- phorescent light faded from the bulging eyes. ‘The terror was raised from our souls. We laughed at our fear. We gulped wine, and all the brandy on the table was swallowed hastily. From the spirits we borrowed a courage that led us to the crowning sin. I proposed it. “Let us dissect the bodv and discover the secret of that halting arm,’’ I said. The plan exhilarated us like champagne. We grew wilder and wilder. Without wait- ing for gloves or proper instruments, we started our grewsome task. We cut the fesh with our pocketknives and the bones that should have been severed with a saw were broken and splinted with our hands. JT in the hideous task that I touched not once the body of the dead. But the others were frenzied they scrutinized the anatomy, discover the riddle of that accusing with a fever of madness. That mystery never was unraveled. But when the knife latd bare the brain cell they found the solution of the problem that had baffled the coroner. The shrunken brain membrane and the milky fiuid sur- rounding the cells told the story. The out- cast had been the victim of a dreaded dis- ease. He had died of spinal meningitis, and the life of each man who had touched the putrid flesh was doomed. They did not alize it then. When the night of revel- was past, it was too late. Bix members of that dinner party died at eir homes outside the city a week after ey had iouched that ghastly body. The notice because their insane, and seeking arm yatter escaped public ha were far apart. Roger was stricken after he had returned rom his vacaticn. He died in our rooms fringe in nfy arms. It was then that he gained my promise to come to this hall each Christmas Eve and do what I could to avert the horror that awaited him there. IT promised, and went the next year to the hall simply to convince myself that his fears were groundless. What I saw and felt In that hall T may not tell. But each vear I go there, and if T can do aught to preserve the spirit of my comrade from the grip of those clutching hands, and stand between him and those gaping, glaring, bulging eyes, I may atone for the sacrilege and sacrifice.

Jennison slowly resumed his heavy gar- ments and reluctantly passed out of the office. Two minutes later his horse was carrying him-rapidly down the street. The heavy smoke of the great city was closing In upon the streets and giving aid to the benumbing wind in an effort to make incre uncomfortable. Jennison’s iorse moved swiftly, for it was a deceiving It seemed to be all bones and ill- Shaped—an odd sort of a horse for the |agent of the Humane Society to be driving; | | but there were many who could testify that | Jennison’s horse could go like the wind whenever the driver let out the reins and shouted the magic words: “Now for the Guardian Angel, old hoss!’ Jennison’s horse was shambling along at | snail’s pace in the vicinity of Ninth and | arent — up against | Blank when the avement and stopped him. Very slow- ly Jennison alighted and walked along. carefully inspecting the fronts of buildings. He went forward nearly the whole distance of the block and returned half way. Then he suddenly disappeared through a narrow archway between two buidings. The agent emerged a moment later in a court, where so many back stairways led to so many different landings that any oth- er than Jennison would have been puzzled. Then the dogs began to bark and to sniff around the visitor’s heels until he struck the most savage of the beasts with his buggy whip The howls of the dog brought out three or four women and a dozen children. who gathered curiously about the {fntruder. “T want to find Mrs. Hydorn,” said the agent. “‘Where does she live?’’ The women looked at each other. Some of them could not understand English. The others were not fn the habit of giving in- formation to strangers. All of them shook — heads. th “IT see,”® sa the agent. ‘Afraid I guess. Well, I don’t blame you.” eo Jennison then passed up and down each particular stairway of the little court and passed down again without being any wiser. Nobody had ever heard of Mrs Hydorn. “On the alley, it said on the blotter,” saia the agent, gazing about’ him. “I don’t see anything on the alley except a lot of coal sheds. I'll look into them, anyhow.”’ Jennison bent his head ashe entered a dark passageway ‘that was arched low and unusually wide. It had become quite dark behind the buildings and the agent put his hand against the frame wall to wide his steps. Suddenly his hand encountered a latch. He knocked loudly and to his surprise a door opened. The place was not a coal shed now. It had been transformed into a box house. A little old woman stood tn the doorway. “I’m looking for Mrs. Hydorn,” said. the agerit. “That's my name.’ responded the lIittle old lady. ‘‘Come right in.” It was such a tiny little place that the agent hesitated for a moment. But it was a clean place. There was a rag earpet on the floor. There was a cook stove in which fire burned. There was a_pine table, a cupboard and a bed, all spotlessly clean. And then there wags the little old lady, in a faded and yet warm dress, with a black apron, and her gray black hair combed smoothly over her temples. ‘«‘ome itn, sir,’’ she said again, and the boots and removed his hat as he bowed and entered. “I’m the Humane Society agent, mum,’’ he said, feeling a trifle embarrassed. The little old lady gave a sudden start closed the door that seemed to lead “Please -don't speak so loud, “Little Rosana’s in there, don’t .want her to hear just yet.’’ Then they sat ‘down and the little old sir, she and 1 |} lady smoothed out ‘her apron a long while | before she finally said, in a broken, hesi- tating voice: “TIT live here, old man who makes a sir, with my husband, an few nickles at odd jobs every day. Its awful hard, but we man- |age to live without asking anything of any- body. We came from the country, sir. We had a little home of our own once, but mis- fortunes followed and we lost it. Then we came with our son into the city. In a few years we were doing well again, but our boy went and got married. We wouldn't of minded that, sir, if the girl had taken to housekeepin’, but somehow she wasn't cut out for it. She was a pretty girl and to go to these here Saturday night dances, “Well, there was trouble, of course, and it went on and went on until one night the woman didn't come home and next morning my son brought his sorrow and his baby rirl over to our house and we never saw uis wife, but once or twice afterward. “It wasn’t long until my son got sick and died. He was worn plum out with his trou- bles but he didn’t seem to care whether he lived or not. ‘Well, we've had a hard time since then. My old man ain't very strong and there's not much he can do, so we've kept going down and down until you see us here, sir. ‘“‘We kept the baby until she’s 8 years old now, and a good little girl she 1s, too. But the time’s come, sir, when we haven't enough to eat. There's not a bite in the house, sir,’ and the little old lady choked and she was compelled to pause, while her eves filled- with tears. “Don’t ery, mum,” said the agent, shift- ing uneasily in his chair. ‘That don't make things any better.’’ “O, I know that, sir. I'm not the crying kind; but what hurts me most now is that my old man and me decided it wasn’t for the child’s good to try and keep her here. This is nothing but a shack of a place. We can’t clothe and feed her, and we have to ask you to take her to the Guardian Angel. I wish my old man was here."’ The little old lady looked arcund wildly. She could scarce restrain herself. “Have you told the little girl?’ asked the agent. ‘“‘Not yet, sir. I'll call her.’’ She threw open the door, and the child came shvly forward. The little old lady kneeled down beside her and stroked the child’s dress, and yet could not lvok her in the face. “Rosana,” she began in a low voice. “Grandma and grandpa want you to go with this gentleman to a fine house far away from here. You know we've told you that some day, if you were good. you'd get to go where there was a plenty of everything, and you've been good, and so —, mister, mv heart’s a brenking." And the little old lady towed her head nearly to the floor and wept softiy. Rosana gazed at the visitor. Her eves Stared in a strange, fixed way, and she stepped backward toward the door. The grandmother recovered herself quickly and drew from the table drawer a comb and a brush. “Come here, now, Rosana,”’ she said, The Half Cent.

Christian K. Ross, @ prosperous merchant of Philadelphia, lived in a handsome old- fashioned mansion in Germantown, once a rural suburb, but now a part of the big city. In June, 1874, the Ross family was somewhat scattered. Mrs. Ross, with her two daughters, being at Atlantic City, two sons being with grandparents on a distant farm for their school] vacation, Charlie, 4 vears old, and Walter, aged 6, and the two younger sisters, infants, being. at home with servanis, the father returning there only in the evening after his day in the CItV. Charley and Walter played about their own spacious grounds and in the fields across the road, and it was one day while making one of the further excursions they were stopped by a couple of men driving in a buggy. who chatted with the boys in a friendly manner, gave them some candy and drove on. This happened three or four times before the youngsters mentioned it to their father when he came home on the 'evening before July 1. He saw nothing suspictous in the circum- stances, 80 did not warn the children, and on the next day they felt no fear about ac- cepting the invitation of the men to “go for a ride.”’ At the corner of Paimer and Richmond streets, Philade phia, Walter was given Hie made the purchase, but when he left the shop Charlle and the strangers were nowhere to be seen. Walter was taken home hy-a citizen, and that evening the search for Charlie, which rever ceased in a quarter of a century, egan. ° \\ alter was able to give a clear and rath- ‘er minute description not only of both the ' kidnappers He was | but of the buggy, horse and even of the harness. On the fourth day came the first of the astonishing series of lains who had stolen the demapced $20,000 on Cherle if refused, “Your money or his life’ \jetter finally stirred the whole country to a frenzy, and then it was no longer possible to control the indignation of the four who first searched and the story was told to the world. A description of Charlie, his ‘‘small, pretty dimpled hands, full, broad forehead, right | curls, dark brown eyes, straight, faultless- ly rounded legs and arms,’ was made throughout the land; and as tens of thousands of motltg’s read in the de- tails of the boy’s beauty a perfect descrip- tion of thelr own darlings the horror of the the boy in the hands of the wretches who wrote: “If any approach Is made to his hiding place’ his instant death would follow was brought to them with a vividness which made them feel the suf- fering of the mother in Philadelphia, and they urged their men, husbands, fathers, on to a search which In a few weeks’ time actually amounted to a tiouse-to-house, a field-to-field, a woods-to-woods, letters of the threat boy, the killing the In Philadelphia Mayor Stokeley called a of officials, which resulted in an organization to ald the search, including most of the prominent men in the city.

A second letter, mailed July 6, agafn de- manding $2).000 ransom, said: ‘We set God, man and the devil at de- fiance to wrest him from our hands.” The next day they wrote: “It {s taken out of the power of every human being to arrest us,” and this boast seemed not a vain one, The police of other cities joined actively in the search; a citizen of New Tork $20,000 reward and ‘‘no questions asked’ for the return of the boy to him; a wealthy Philadelphian offered Mr. Roas $20,000 cash to treat with the kidnappers alled | utterly to give so much as a clew.

NOTE HAS BEN SIG Ministers to China Have Af- fixed Their Signatures. INDEMNITY A BILLION TAELS THIS CHINA CANNOT POSSIBLY PAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. Despite the Signing, the Chinese Be- lieve the Real Negotiations for Peace Will Be in Europe or America. PEKIN, Dec. 22.—The last obstacle hav- {ng been removed, the joint note was signed today by all the foreign ministers, Including the envoy from The Netherlands, who ar- rived only recently. The note will be de- livered to Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching the Chinese plenipotentiaries, as soon as the former shall have sufliciently recovered from his indisposition. The Chinese close to Li Hung Chang stil! prefer to believe, despite the signing of the note, which they did not believe would take place, that the principal negotiations must be carried on in Europe or America. They resent the British modification of the ‘note, for, they say, some power or pow- ers might not be satisfied until the Indem- nity has been paid in full, which would mean the occupation of Pekin for in- . definite time, as it cannot be expected that China can raise what would be required— possibly 1,000,000,000 taels—at once. As a matter of fact, it will take several years. Li Hung Chang’s condition is reported to- day to be so much improved that was! able to be out of bed for a short time.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Mr. Andrew Carnegie of Pittsburg, donor of libraries, Stepped out of the Shoreham Hotel yes- terday morning and started for Senator Hanna’s residence, just around the corner of Lafayette square. Two gentlemen, who were awaiting for him at the hotel, ap- proached and asked for five minutes’ talk with him. “All right,’’ responded Mr. Car- negie, “‘but Just walk along with me; I am behind time.’’ So they went along together, and as they | wa.ked the two gentiemen laid before Mr. Carnegie the necessiiy fona public at Fert Dodge, lowa They said Fort Dodge neeced a library tha worst kind and the way things were going it seemed tha: the only chance of getting one was for some great and good phiianthropist to give them one. They talked their case for the square and a half between the Shoreham and Senator Hanna's house and when ihe party reached the senator's house the brary was won ‘“Surely,’’ suid Mr. Carnegle, shall have a library building.

A NATIONAL REUNION BANQUET. The sixteenth annual reunion of the New England Society of St. Louis resembled rather a reunion of the North and South to do honor to a national character—Gen. Fitzhugh ee. The exchange of compliments between Gen, Noble and Gen, Lee was of more than merely personal significance. ‘The tribute of respect to the hero of the Confederacy and the hero of Havana was a tribute to the best qualities of Amer- ican character as illustrated in his person and career. The condition of nationa] prosperity is national solidarity, There must be a common ideal, a common purpose and a firmly knit national consciousness before any country can hope to be a substantial force in progress. That this sol- fidarity has been attained and that no mere sectional dif- ferences divide Americans was evident at the New England dinner. American citizens will continue to try to outdo one another, but it will be in a generous spirit of emulation, deavoring to accent his citizenship, to attain pre-eminence in service to his country. hat is the ideal towards which we strive. No other is worthy of any man who claims American citizenship as his proudest possession. = — = —- we! The Boer Voldslied will be sung on Christmas once more, i ee PNEUMATIC POSTAL DELIVERY. The praject for building a pneumatic tube for parcels de- livery between New York and Hartford has brought out some expert criticism of this mode of transfer not altogether favor- able. The objection is that for long distances the speed cannot, fn the present state of the service, be greater than 3 miles an hour, or less tha~ the mail train speed. However this may be, the utility of such a service for postal deliveries in large cities can hardly be questioned, and its in- stallation cannot long be postponed. An attempt was made to procure a pneumatic tube service for St. Louis and other large centers of population, but the appropriation was defeated because of the alleged discovery of jobbery in the scheme. This is only a temporary check. The scheme has been found practicable in some cities. It is certain to be adopted in all. The old century ought to go out in a universal peace. On the contrary, its close will be marked by a war in South Africa and a conflict in the Philippines with the principles of the Declaration of Independence. = = * _ 4 AN ODD LITTLE CONTRADICTION. Miss Carrie Tuck caused some embarrassment at the sixth annual reunion of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs by a very interesting address on “‘The Preservation of Birds."’ It was an immense audience, ‘two-thirds of whom had on their bonnets wings, breasts and plumes of birds.’ The -presi- dent herseif, who sat on the platform, was one of the most con- epicuous offenders. And yet these ladies are working with al] their hearts in the cause of mercy and humanity. They plead for kindness in all things and the vast majority are much given to the ad- vocacy of simplicity in manners and living. But they deck themselves out with barbaric ornament, the most elaborate and unsimple, It is one’ of the odd little contradictions which make life gay. But itis a pity that gaiety must be obtained at the cost of life, even humbi?é bird life. The Missourt Dairy Association proposes to have exhibits at the Boaffalo Pan-American Exposition and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. Missouri butter should be the best in the world. The large and growing cities of the State are excellent markets for all our farm products, and we may easily have many good customers in other States. — oo — — -_ — FROM FAR-AWAY TEXAS. From the storm-stricken district about Galveston comes a word of sympathy and a substantial contribution to the Post- Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund. Responding to the appeal in the Post-Dispatch, Mr. H. Joy. ner of Webster, Tex., 20 miles from Galveston, writes to Mr. Nat Wetzel, chairman of the Supply Committee, that a barrel of radishes is on the way. “No man knows better than you,”’ says Mr. Joyner, ‘that this country suffered greatly by the recent storm, and a great many of our homes were wiped away and our crops destroyed, but 1 appreciate the work done for us by you and the Post-Dispatch. This is all I can do at present.’ An appeal to the heart does not pass unheeded. especially when the heart is enriched by the fellow-feeling of suffering. This generous word from far away Texas, accompanied by @ barrel of radishes, ‘all | can do at present.” is not lost. It will receive a response in other hearts and encourage them to deeds of Kindness which make the whole world rich. eee The electro motor omnibuses being constructed by ‘the American Car Co. ef St. Louis for Chicago will carry 40 pas- eengers each, the fare will be 5 cents and no passenger will be admitted after the seats are filled. A line of such omnibuses in St. Louis last summer would have saved many thousands of dollars to the business of the city. Next to arbitration in @ street railway atrike the electro motor omnibus ought to be useful. > _ —_=_= = THE PISTOL HABIT. The “pistol habit" is disturbing some of the good people of Texas. Says the Galveston News: “There is but one way to reform the man who makes a babit of carrying a pistol, and that is to put him on the county road, Fines do no good, for the rich man can carry a gun and not feel the effect of the pun. ishment, while the poor man can be made to feel it. When the pistol carrier is made to put a hoe on his shoulder and march out with the tramps and other convicts to the public roads and them in the eyes of the people forced to work as a violater of the law, he will curse the day he ever saw that w This ia the essence of common sense. ee y The forcible comment of the News might be applied to other each en-/| people by whom Mr. Godkin finds the President surrounded. —_— —_ = = a — SS. MILLIONS IN EDUCATION. The recent donation of $1,500,000 to the Chicago University education does not differ in one essential respect from other kinds of business. That is to say modern education is a costly process. In the old days, not so very long ago, a college might prosper abundantly with a very meager “plant.” It might become a great and beneficia] force. And in fact the colleges of those days, slender as was their equipment compared to those of the present time, provided the leaven which leavened the lump of American life. But colleges and universities are yielding to the inevitable. Large capital is necessary to enable an institution of learning to take up a commanding position in the social order. Edu- cation can no more prosper on the capital sufficient for the needs of a generation ago than can the railroad business. Big figures are the rule. Not thousands, but millions are re- quired. It is a radical] change. It involves loss as well as gain, But, since progress never goes backward, we may safely assert that in the end the gain will swallow up the loss. What with an enormous indemnity to pay, expiatory monu- ments erected and proclamations kept continually posted en- numerating the punishments of their officials, the Chinese will be very slow in learning to love their invaders. The chances are that they will secretly make preparations for a future great uprising against foreigners. >>> "= = CIVIL AND MILITARY EXPENSES. The graphic statement of the public expense in the Sunday Post-Dispatch brings the subject home even. to those who “have no head for figures.’’ The civil service and the Postoffice cost $208,127,769.45 a vear, while the army and navy cost $190,727,845.50. In other words the military establishment costs practically the same as the civil departments. But to the cost of maintaining the army and navy should be added the pension list, amounting to $140,877,316.02. Plain facts like these make the meaning of militarism clear. And when it is remembered that we are only just en- tering the path of glory the question must arise, what is to be the end-.of it? oe oe nee It can be easily understood why the Empress of Austria and yermany should fear the effect of receiving the President of a republic at war with an empire, but it is diffieult to under- stand why the greatest republic on earth should not encourage the struggling republicans of ‘South Africa. -———___---—_ eee — --— There’s many a poor private soldier out on the African veldt chasing or being chased by the nimble-footed burghers who would much rather be at home for his Christmas dinner, Likewise out in the fever-haunted land of the Filipinos. —~ —- - -eee -— An Ohio clergyman complains that the Standard Oil€‘o. has defied the Supreme Court of that State and has not been pun- ished.

THE PROFIT ON ARMOR PLATE Head of Midvale Steel Company Says 22 Per Cent Is Small When the Risks Are Considered. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.—The tndustrial commission today heard testimony regard- ing the plate glass industry by John Pit- cairn, president of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. Mr. Pitcairn asserted that a combina- tion was necessary because of fhe failure of several individual factories. After the consolidation of the manufacturers, Mr. Pitcairn said, the jobbers’ association be- came objectionable in its demands. These demands practically asked the Pittsburg Giass Co. to discriminate against buyers who were not members of the jobbers’ or- ganization, W. W. Hercy of New York City, chair- man of the commercial department of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co., was asked: “Have you tried in any way to prevent the trade in the United States from buying foreign glass?’’ “We have made certain buyers, in consideration of agreed to buy glass here.’’ “What would be the penalty in their re- lation with you if they bought abroad?’ “We certainly would not refuse to sell to them, but it would not be reasonable to suppose that our competitors buying abroad would receive commissions from us when they purchase our product.” Charles A, Hara, head of the Midvale Steel Co., answered Mr. Cramp’s statement of yesterday, concerning the enormous | profit on the manufacture of armor plate. The profit on gun forging and armor plate, | Witness said, are small when the risks in- | volved are considered.

F OFTHE ARMY SECRETARY ROOT APPEALS FOR IMMEDIATE INCREASE. —— FAVORS THE BILL AS A WHOLE Unless Army Is Increased, He Says, Much Territory Garrisoned in the Philippines Must Be Aban- doned. WASHINGTON, Det. 22.—At the last meeting of the Senate committee on mill- tary affairs, the proceedings of which were made publie to-day, Secretary Root made a strong presentation of the necessity for immediate legislation for the rellef of the army. Iie stated broadly that !f Congress did not at once inerease the army in substantial accordance with the recommendations of the war department, the United States would be obliged to abandon a large por- tion of the Philippine Islands, where civil government is established, If the present garrisons are withdrawn from certain por- tions of the islands the municipal officers, mostly Filipinos, will be left defenseless, with every prospect of being deprived of their lives and property, and at the same time the United States will be disgraced, the secretary said, for having proved faith- less to its selemn cbligations. The secretary argued that it was nec- essary to pass the department bill as a whole, in order to properly adjust the mil- itary organization to the new conditions created by the irferease of numbers, “We do nat any of us,” he said, “expect (by the committee) are sufficient.”’ With reference to the matter of staff de- tails ‘the secretary said that he was cone vinced that the control of the nermanent staff departments in the city of Washington is an evil that ought to be remedied, and that it is highly important for the army that there should be interchangeable service between the department and the staff. In answer to an inquiry the secretary said that it was of minor importance whether there was a corps or regimental formiution of the artillery branch, and that, while he favored the former, he really cared very little about the matter, which he regardec as a purely technical question. He sal that he had put the corps formation pro- vision into the bill because it had been generally represented to him as a wise provision, ROY BECK HELD TO BE TRIED One of the Brothers Charged With Be- ing Accessories to the Murder of Thomas Stafford in Illinois.

In comparing it with that of 1893 my natural prejudice would be, of course, on the side of the Chicago ex- position, which in its architecture and grouping,as the ‘White City’ has not been, and will not be, equaled, but as an expo- sition of exhibits it must be admitted to be inferior to the great event just closed. “With regard to the part which the United States took in Paris, I will only say that we are all well satisfied with the result. It was freely admitted that the display of the United States was the most prominent of the foreign nations. Outside of France we cecupied greater area, had more exhibi- tors and our government had expended less than other great nations, notwithstanding our distance across the sea and our great- er territory in which we collected exhibits, involving larger outlay accordingly. The total expenditures of Germany, Russia and the United States vary but little. ‘The real test of the relative position taken by the exhibitors of the United States in the exposition lies in the fact that they have received a much larger number of aWards than those of Germany, Russia, Great Britain, Austria or any other nation foreign to France. We feel that the commercial interests of our nation have been enhanced, our export trade increased and our international relations strength- ened by the part which we have been able to take in the great event in Paris this year.”’ Mr. Peck safd that there was still con- siderable work to be done by the commis- sion in connection with the closing up of the vast details and the settlements to be made on both sides of the water. Maj. Brackett, he said, will remain for some time in Paris. The final report for Congress is vet to be prepared and this will be of considerable practical value. Assistant Commissloner-General Wood- ward fell on the deck the second day out and broke his left ankle. KENTUCKY =A “DRY” STATE There Are But Five Entirely “Wet” Counties, Liquor Being Partially or Entirely Prohibited in the Others. FULTON, Ky., Dec. 2.—It may statle some people who think the name of Ken- tucky synonymous with whisky to know that three-fourths of the state is “‘dry.”’ Thirty of Kentucky’s counties are entirely “dry,’’ as many more are “‘wet”’ in one spot, or to be more exact, liquor is retailed only at the county seat. All but five are ‘‘dry”’ in Spots; that is, there are no retail liquor stores in certain voting precincts. The ive entirely ‘‘wet'’ counties are located mainly on the slopes of Mildraugh’'s hill, peach orchards and small licensed brandy | the loca 'did not know it jand that for any considerable period an army | distilleries are numerous. of 100,000 men will be maintained, and for | an army of 60,000 men the provisions made | Most of ge entirely “dry” counties are located in tne mountain districts of eastern Kentucky.

After that the “Island” was uninhabited oy man ad almost fergotten save for the memories of crime which clustered about it. Meanwhile etartling events were trans- piring in Gretna, a peaceful little village, twenty-five miles southwest of Omaha. Nobody outside of the town ever heard of Gretna, until one morning about a year ago, the country round about was shocked to hear that Mr. and Mrs. Louis Figg, a prosperous farmer and his wife had been tarred and feathered by their townsmen. The tar and feather party was the culmin- ation of a series of events which had been agitating the citizens of Gretna for months. Ties and his wife and son were at the head of a peculiar religious sect who were dubbed “Figgites’ by those who scofféd at the new religion. The new movement was looked upon at first with amusement. If Figg wanted to get to heaven by other than beaten paths, nobody cared. The fact that the services of the new denomination were conducted with a mysterious secrecy, aroused some curiosity, but nothing more, Then came a change. It began to be noticed that all the con- verts were women. The only male members of the church were Figg and his son. It was also noticed that the women who em- hraced the new faith began to act queerly. The became fanatical. va other subjecis than religion and it was almost impossible to live with them, They would not wash the dishes or sweep the carpet unless they saw a light or the spirit directed them to do so. When their unfortunate husbands protested, they left their Rome and took up their abode with Figg. Then the simple ‘townspeople began to see things more clearly. Figg soon had his house full of converts and the houses in Gretna lacked a housekeeper. Homes were broken up and the “men folks” weré compelled to cook their own meals. Then it was that “whitecaps” visited the Figg house and treated Mr. and Mrs, Vigg to a coat of tar and feathers. Figg Prosecuted the Wrong Men. Figg tried to prosecute his persecutors, but he arrested the wrong men, and a judg- ment of $500 was obtained against him for false imprisonment.

MANY OTHERS DRAGGED INTO IT LAWYERS AND WITNESSES TO BE. VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED. Arrested Mortgage Banker Sanders Has a Private Chapel at His Villa While Swindling the Public. BERLIN, Dec. 22.—Public attention was occupled wholly this week with crimes in high places, The sentence imposed Sternberg, the millionaire banker, of two and @ half years’ imprisonment and five years’ deprivation of civil righis, for crimes against morality, satisfies the public con- science and is well merited retribution. Sternberg rapidly acquired a fortune, esti- mated at 18 millions, by shady methods, and. maintained social relations with high Officials and military men for years, while disguising his-most loathsome crimes in the lowest Berlin life. He was related by mar- riage to high officers and was a free giver for charitabie purpoces. It was said in his defense before the court that he had madea will leaving to the Prusssian government the bulk of his fortune, to establish an in- stitution for insuring laborers against loss of work. The Sternberg -case is working widespread ruin among others. The death of Von Meer- scheidt Huellilessem, the suspended chief of the criminal oupersme nt, amnounced at the same hour as fte nberg s sentence, had a pecularly tragical effect... The publie in- stantliy assumed that he h id cammitted sul- ‘ide. but the physician certified that he died sf apoplexy. Von Meerchseidt established a reputation by tntroducing the Bertillon anthropomelic system in Germans The case of nd will continue long to occupy the public mind. It is expected Sternber will appeal again to a higher court. alherstors numerous prosecu: tions of persons connected with the BStern- berg case are pending. A number of wit- nesses wil! be tried for perjury and three lawyers are under investigation for unpro- fessional conduct or collusion to cireum- vent justice The public demand for re- form of the criminal police, which did not vield fruit- in 1t897 in connection with the ‘on Tausch case, hus now grown impera- tive, It is authentically reported that the authorities are preparing a measure for reform. The other great case this week, the arrest of mortgage bankers, attracts an immense amount of attention. The press is pointing out the resemblance to the Sternberg affair, since wealthy bankers, moving in the high- @st society, have carried on fraudulent prac- tices for years. The chief offender. Ss of the greatest piet: chapel in a luxur jous villa at Potsdam. His home was the center of the highest military and aristocratic society. He was Potsdam's wealthiest citizen, paying 50,000 marks yearly in taxes. It has been shown that practices were most questionable. He would compel borrowers at the bank to buy one of his lots at a fancy price. The losses wil! fall heavily on small investors. The fal! in the shares obligation of the two banks already represents about 175,000,000 marks. It is considered certain that the arrested directors wil! get lone terms of imprison- ment for fal: sifving the balance sheets. rr ooo CIRCUIT ATTORHEY’S PLANS Mr. Folk, the Snecinatnw Official, Talks ‘of the Course He Has Outlined.

When asked what his policy before the grandjury would be he said: “Every department connected with the municipal government against which there are charges will be thoroughly investigated Wherever official corruption exists it will be brought to light and punished. I will do all in my power to rid this city of bribe- takers and officials of high and low degree who misappropriate public funds.’ NEW VACCINE STATIONS. Three Will Be Established and More Physicians Appointed. Three branch offices for vaccination and general sanitary work are to be established by the health department. Health Commis- efoner Starkloff said vesterday that the lo- cation of the new offices had not yet been fully determined upon, but that they would be at points central to the western, south- ern and northern portions of the city, the vaccination in downtown districts being carried on from the central dispensary. An increase in the force of vaccine phvy- siciansa is anticipated, owing to the number of persons arriving from other cities, who, the health commissioner believes, shoulda be vaccinated as a measure of public safety.

Particular events | and developments may be accepted as stim- | ulating cause or as unlocking nascent | forces that have a latent grow th "and gesta- tion and need but a slight impulse to bring them into life. That impulse came from last Saturday's Statement. Ever since that time the mar- ket has shown continuous animation and variety. The opinion has been universal in Wall street that a rise in prices would come in January, after the yearly financial set- tlements had been conqjuded and the funds disbursed and dividends and interest were seeking reinvestment, but there was great dreag of a squeeze of money rates at the end of the year, as the requirements to be met are the largest ever known in our his- tory.

The spirit of caution was so deep that even the strong evidence of widespread buying of railroa Stocks by bankers and conservative finan- cial interests failed to attract a general fol- lowing. The practical euse of the money market also was looked to with. suspicion and it was alleged to be due to m: intpul: l- tion with a view to trap the unwary into speculative commitments in stocks which would have to be sacrificed before the end of the year. Last Saturday’s bank state- ment came like a broad streak of ——— into this rather gloomy atmosphere and loosened all the springs of speculative en- thusiasm. Conditions during the week have grown appreciably easier in the money market. The demand for currency from the South has continued, but in diminished degree. ‘ihe ebullient stock market is the reflection of the spirit of optimism and con- idence over the general conditions of af- fairs. As the sneculation is avowed)ly de- igned to discount an expected large de-} mand for stocks in January, there is ex- ellent ground for expecting that the edge nas been taken off the future streneth of the market.

OR a city that Is rarely visited by ex- treme cold weather, St. probably boast of about as many good speed and fancy skaters as any city of its size in the United States. Most of those who become adepts at the fascinating win- | , sate 5 'use the short stroke in turning the corners. constant | ter pastime have become so by practice on artificial ice. As would be ex- pected, these skaters are mostly young men, and their rapid improvement during the past two seasons augurs wel for their future as skaters of national pute, should they care to follow he sport into the professional class. John Barry and Louis Young, two young- eters barely entering their teens, are just now attracting the most attention bv their cleverness in executing difficult figures and performing intricate tricks on the smooth surface. Both bovs have become during the last two years, until now doubtful if there are two boys in the country who have reached the state of profieciency that they have attained. Barry is 14 years of age and sear younger. There is a good-natured ri- valry between the two, and they practice together constantly, each tryins to the other in the performance of some figure or trick. White Barry and Young the best juvenile figure skaters in Allan Shaw and Jimmie Hurley, two youngsters of about the same age as other two boys, have undisnuted right to the juvenile An tapas in the speed line. Shaw is the speedier of the two, but Hurley is improving every day and threat- ens to give his rival an extremely hard race before many moons. Shaw is a bright little chap end questioned as to how he learned the s of attaining speed on the steel blades “From the very first day I put I yearned to fiyv over the ice as fast as of the older boys and with this object in my mind I watched their movements ciose- ly. I gained some pointers from a > aters, but profited mostiy from w: ohn Nillson, the champion skater world, when he visited the rink, years ago and last year."’ Shaw's statement is borne out by that his style of skating is very si that of the champion. He hus the easy stroke, makes a turn in the same way, and has copied successfully Nillson’s man- ner of dodging and juming throuch a crowd. je also starts like the act a great deal of his success in the races n Which he has participated is Jaid. Hur ey’s style is not as good as a he is rapidly learning the value of the ong, easy stroke, and his improvement has been marked, even this early in the season. All four boys will take part in the local tournaments to be held Fem nS the month of February, and as the, _ aire putting in their spare time practi ing it is expecte that they will then surprise even their most ardent admirers with their prowess steel runners.

Johnson “I have found that to attain the greatest @peed on skates the long stroke ts by far e@ best. Some skaters like the short ve wag but the long, easy stroke requires | less exertion and takes one over the ice much faster than the short stroke. Some em importance to the throw of the arms. he ‘arms are usually thrown from side to gide, so that they are extended to the right tide, while the skater is running on his right foot, and are flung to the left just after the stroke of the right foot ts fully Gel. vered. No doubt they assist tn balanc- ing the body by their swing. and form a counterpoise to the leg whose foot has just left the ice, and so help the center of gravity to pursue a straight IIne, though continually shifting in relation to the point of support. “It is yuesticnable whether the manage- ment of the arms is of such Importance or eserves #0 much attention. They ave in- atinctively used as balancers when re- quired, and their action, being Instinctive, wi!l sult itself to the action of the legs, which are the only mea propulsion.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.—The stewards this afternoon announced their conclusion in the case of the mare Donna Rita and the stable of T. Licalzi, suspended on Dec. 17. After an exhaustive investigation, the stewards decided to give Licalzi the benefit of any existing doubt and remoye the >an pronounced against his stable, “‘with ‘he understanding that no consideration will be given the mare Donna Rita for inconsistent . Hurley, the suspended trainer, is held responsible for the performances of the mare, which are attributed to the use or ‘non-use of stimulants, and his suspension is continued indefinitely, and the license committee of the American Turf Congress ‘is urged to revoke his license forthwith.

Knight Banneret was the ring’s choice at the opening, but his allotted weight was deemed too much and the talent rightly refused him. Mint Sauce had no rivals. in the first furlong he opened up a gap which he speedily widened, until, at the end, he led his field by eight lengths. Grey Dally was the only other winning favorite.

Y., Deo. 23.—The court of inquiry investigating the allegation that the late Oscar Booz was so i)l-treated, while a cadet at the Military Academy that his health was impaired, began work early today, intending to finish its labors at noon. Maj. John M. Bannister, surgeon U, 8. A., was recalled, and told of his testing the effects of partaking of four drops of **Trop- ical pepper sauce,” such as is used in the cadets’ mess hall. He said he tried it last night by dropping four.drops of the sauce on the palm of his hand and taking it up with his tongue. He swallowed the sauce, although it tasted like the taste of a cayenne pepper pod. His throat, he said, | was very susceptible to any irritation, but he felt no ill effects from the dose, be located at 412 and Two young ladies, who were present when he made the test, in a spirit of fun did lIike- too, found no difficulty in swallowing the same quantity. In reply to Gen. Clous, the witness sald: “I positively awear that the taking of this sauce could not directly, or indirectly, have eaused tuberculosis of the throat, or in any way be the cause of death of Cadet + 1a | Booz, two years*after his partaking of it."’ 1® ote | ses to be a record-break- | | that he never hazed Booz. Cadet John H. Poole of Michigan swore He knew Breth, who was a member of his own class, This was the fourth class In 1897. ‘Did you see Breth hazed?” “No, sir, but 1 heard he was ‘exercised’ | considerably.’ “What are the relations of the upper cla ssp.en to the fourth classmen? “With the exception cf exercising which it is about the same as. We require them to do special work about our tents, cleaning guns, mak- ing up beds and so forth.’ The witness said that he had heard of | four flights between upper and fourth class “Wh won?" asked Gen. Clous, “Two were won by upper class men, one by a fourth class man and the other was a draw. Cadet Guy E. Carlton of Michigan testified that Booz was hazed, but that there was nothing brutal or severe in it. Others nad similar experiences. In reply to several questions regarding Breth, the witness said: “I knew ‘straight jacket.’ If he had been placed in a ‘straight jacket’ 1 cer- tainly would have heard ofit. 1 have hada special duty man from the fourth class, He made my bed, swept out the tent, carried water and cleaned my gun and bay onet.’ Cadet Emory J. Pike of lowa had heard of men being required to eat soap, but never knew of a positive case. “Did you ever ask any one to eat soap?’’ asked Ge n. _Clous. “No, sir.’ “Did you ever require a cadet to swallow any hot sauce?” ‘“‘No, sir.’ “You knew Cadet Breth?’’ ‘Yes, sir, I remember him on account of his ‘woodenness.’ ”’ “Do you mean by that he was wooden- e.: fourth-class men by your methods of Fe ae was any difference made between the sons of rich men and those of poorer classes.”’ “Well, sir, there would be no distinction, except the rich man’s son was conceited,’ answered the witness. “Why do you haze fourth-class asked Gen. Brooke. “Fourth-class men are new and green, and they are hazed to make them conform to the rules, to obey their superiors and make men out of them.” “If the son of a general or the son of a President of the United States came here would he be hazed?’ asked the general. ‘Yes, he would, if he were conceited, and it is likely he would be hazed anyhow.” “You then evidently wish to make them all feel that they are on an equal footing, none is better than the others,’’ said Gen.

I knew of | a@ case about two years ago where a man did an ungentlemanly act, and he was re- quested to resign,’’ sald the witness, “Did he?’ asked Gen. Brooke, **He did, sir.’’ The court adjourned until Wednesday, | Dec. 26, at 2 o'clock. Cadet Leonard A. Prunty of Kansas, hada himself taken pepper sauce. The quantity was half a teaspoon full. He suffered no tn- | jury from it, the effect passed away in ten | minutes, said that he could not say that he had not | given sauce to lower class men. “Have you seen it given, and if so, was, any force used?’’ “I saw it given several times in the mess | hall, but no force was used. The men were | told to take it, and they did. Eight drops | was the most I ever saw given.’ “Have you Known of any cadets being | dragged from their tents?” asked Gen. Clous. “Yes, sir; I was dragged myself when a fourth-class man. I was lying on the com- |} forter on the floor. Two or three men caught | hold of it aoe a it with me on top out | of the tent and up the company street.”’ ‘“‘Have you ever known hands to have been laid on the man and his body dragged on. the ground?” “No sir, the bedding was always under- neath.’’ DUNKARDS PURCHASE TCWN.

A number of ladies met in the old quar- ters of the Provident Association at Elev- enth and Locust streets yesterday after- noon and completed plans for the supply- | ing of those people in their homes who will | be unable to reach the Coliseum. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Louls M. McCall, chairman of the ecv- nomic section of the Wednesday = Club. There were present.the following, who will assist in the work: Mesdames— Mesdames— J. W. Goddard, Edward Taussig, FE. F. Richards, William Ware, Monks, “ ¥ Bruck, . . Sterling, ‘. he SS a a Vells H.

The ladies decided that there were be- tween. 600 and 800 families in the city who would be unprovided for and who would be unable to attend the dinner at the Col- iseum. It was planned that when the ban- quet began at 2 o'clock in the Coliseum from 600 to 800 banquets should be begun in all-parts of the city. The ladies issued a requlsition for suf- | ficient food to fill a basket for each fam- ily. If the family be large the basket will contain a turkey. If the family be small a chicken will be substituted. Then there | will be potatoes, canned vegetables, canned | fruit, oranges and bananas, candies, nuts and raisins and a spray of holly to gar- nish the basket. These baskets will be filled on Christmas morning and P. P..Connor, chairman of the Committee on Distribution, will take charge of them. He will have a force of men and | wagons sufficiently large to guarantee that | each basket will be delivered to the family | for whom it is intended by 1 o’clock on that day. , ’ Ixach basket Will have on it a tag bearing | the name of the family for whom {It is In- tended, and on the tag will be printed: “Compliments of the Post-Dispatch Christ- mas Festival.”’ > 7 A *. 9 “~~ ~ } ~} ‘ s ‘ »? . . the commissiyn houses to the Coliseum. jhead, a* mass of electrical tllumination.

In his request ernor wrote: “tf am in receipt« of cates from the secretary on date for the cpinion official state, the of ing me that the seven constitutional amend. | ments, submitted by direction of the For- tieth General Assembly of Missouri, been carried, and I request you to sive me} your opinich on the following questions: l.

The reply and opinion of is as follows: “Tl am of the poinion that the ments, and parts of the various ones are self-enforcing become operative that result officially certified the of state on Dec. 19, 1900. “AS to the second question any, of these amendments, or , are Sself-enforcing?’ that amendment No, 1, relative to tions in felony cases by infocmation, gelf-enforcing. That amendment No. 2. by parts there prosec! for road forcing. “As to amendment No. 3. and bridge purposes, is section 2] thereof, announcing the principle to be applied in assessing the same js, | i lieve, a prohibition against assessing the interest of the borrower in the higher than the assessed vaiue of Lit*- ihe en- cumbered property, less the assessed value | | at ot the deed of trust or mortgage. “Lo illustrate, if the whole real estate was assessed at-one-third its actual value. or Bay $4000, and was mortgaged for $1200, then the mortgage should be assessed at and the land at $4009, less $400, or $2600. “I believe the provisions of section 21! of said third amendment are a prohibition fgainst assessors in the future encumbered real estate upon a principle than this. “But as to the manner of the arriving at the’ ownership of the Biges and the deeds of trust and the places of residence of the owners thereof. the amount Of payments. if any, thereon, the determining of the question by the coilec- tor as to who should pay the tax on the nortgage, in the event the mortgage oi deed of trust is paid off between the of assessinent and the day the taxes rutile, and the method of listing on the @rsessment rolls the interests of the bor- different rower and iender in the real estate and the / means to be employed to asSess and en- force taxes against non-resident @re matters that will. perhaps, need some legislation to enable the full-intent.of the amendment to be practically and effective- lv earried out. “As to the provisions of section 22 of the said third amendment relating to contracts by debtors to pay any tax or assessment on money loaned on mortgage or deed of trust, I am of the opinion that this pro- vision is self-enforcing as to all contracts made subsequent to Dec. 19, 1900. The World’s Fair Amendments. “Concerning the fourth amendment au- thorizing the City of St. Louis to issue bonds to aid the corporation organized to celebrate the Louisiana Purchase Centen- nial in said city, I believe it is self-enforec- ing, in so far at least as it confers ful! power upon the City of St. Louis to issue the amount of bonds designated. Perhaps some auxiliarv legislation may be needed to carry out the details of the projected celebration, “Relative to amendment No. 5, resnpect- ing the right of the state to appropriate not to exceed one million resources, products and industries of state, I will say that 1 am of the opinion that of course legislation will be neces- sary to carry out the power given to ap- propriate the money for the purpose above named The amendment simply confers the right on the general assembly to make the appropriation. “The sixth amendment, .prohibiting the convening of grandjuries, except upon an order of a judge of a court having the power to try and determine felonies, is, in my udgment, self-enforcing. and no egrand- ury can legally convene in Missouri after ec. 19, 1900, except upon the order of a Judge of the character above mentioned, “It results from my construction of the first and sixth amendments that from the date last above mentioned informations in eeony cases can be filed In courts of rec- ord having jurisdiction to try and de- termine prosecutions for felontfes “The seventh amendment, authorizing a designated number (less than a_ whole nel), to return verdicts in civil cases LAW | The | an | mal amend- | on | the gov- | 7 | eertiti- notify- | have that are | Attorney- ren- eral Crow. to the questions of the governor | Amend- | when | the votes were canvassed, cast up and the | secretary | “What, if | ~lLam of the opinion | is | ; Cone | ferring right to levy 15 eents additional tax self-en- | relating to taxa- | tion of real estate and mortgages thereon, | ee property $400 | |ing her first theatrical engagement. assessing | OWheDrs, | 'in the Oranges.

He and friends were duck hunting on the James river. McDonough became separated from his companions and walked into quick- sand. He succeeded in extricating one foot only to find that the other had sunk so deep it was beyond his power to pull lit out. In half an hour the treacherous sand was above his Knees and thereafter he sunk by degrees until he was buried to the waist. He shouted frantically for help, but no one heard him. Meanwhile his friends were anxiously seeking him, firing their guns and shouting as they went. McDonough’s proverbiai 'luck came to his aid at last. In their search his friends passed close to the place of his partial entombment. He ' was just able to give one last cali for heip. Lie was then buried almost to the chin. The work of rescue was accompished with difticulty, limbs of trees and pieces of cordwood being iaid around the victim. lt required the united strength of the party to haul him forth.

I do not care to be classed among those I-told- you-e0 critics, but I must say that the re- turn of the Imperial Theater to the weekly change of company will be merely the real- figation of gn expectation. While the com- pany gave strong and well-staged produc- tions, in the main, and the publio gave fair patronage, the fact remains that in this closing year 6f the nineteenth century the play-going multitude demands new plays. A new play cannot be bought and put on by a stock company ata profit. The royalties on the old plays which were produced, so Frank Tate of the management tells mo. were so heavy that the expense was a drag. New plays cost @ great deal more, as a mat- ter of course. Beginning Jan. 7 the Imperial will return to the one-week-stand plan. The manage- ment will Gevolve upon William Garen, Mr. Giffen retiring with the exit of the stock company. Manager Giffen is highly praised by the Imperial people for his conscientious work in directing the stock company pro- ductions. The really successful manager, however, is the one who makes money for the rea- plays.

Thorold’s new romantic drama, “Near the Throne,”’ founded on his popplar novel of the same title, will begin its tour in Phila- delphia at the Park Theater Jan. 28%, in which city this thrilling story of the Na- poleonic conquest of the land of Cleopatra was tried for a week in October and scored & popular and financial hit. Later in the sea- son the play will be seen in St. Louis. The play, which {is said to be a dramatic nov- elty, will be presented with every costumic and scenic accessory that can help to make it @ fascinating Oriental spectacle, Some of the well-known players who will appear in this latest success are: Lawrence Hanley, Miss Gertrude Lewis and Miss Frances Drake, a ~o—-o— #0 0600-00. 9999 It was in 1879, at the Park Theater, Phil- adelphia, that E. H. Sothern made his first appearance on the stage. It was in his father’s play entitled “Sam,” and young Sothern had to bring a trunk on the stage, touch his cap and say, “Half a crown, your honor, I think you won't object.’’ He re- membered to touch his cap, but he forgot his lines, and his father prompted him so loudly that all the audience heard it. From that bad beginning to his brilliant presenta- tion of “‘Hamlet’’ is qa wide leap. George V. Hobart, newspaper man, has written a bright new comedy, in which Ma- rie Dressler has made a hit in Boston. It Is called ‘Miss Prinnt. Miss Dressler also has a travesty on “‘L’Aiglon” in preparation. Bome of the creations of the New York Evening World’s woman cartoonist, anent “The Sprightly Romance of Marsac,”’ are funnier than the play itself. They made a great hit in Gotham, “The Girl From Maxim’s,” with its big Criterion (N. Y.) Theater production, is coming to the Century for a week, begin- ning Jan. 18. There are some frisky fairies in this sprightly piece. It is a singular fact that the most distin- guished and successful stars of recent time, when making their pristine flights, were severally reminded of Icarus and his waxen wings. Yet, having taken their positions in the theatrical ether, it becomes a matter of astonishment that they were not sooner “discovered.”’ Three important cases in point are Miss Viola Allen, Miss Maude Adams and Miss Annie Russell. Of the three the least surprise should have been occasioned by Miss Allen's assumption of a ‘stellar’ position. She had created so many roles and achieved so many signal suc- cesses as leading woman of Charles Froh- man’s Stock Company, that it is now after her great success as a star a cause for com- ment that she was content to remain in that position as long as she did and not sooner aspire to higher honors. Miss Allen's reluc- tance is all the more surprising when it Is recalled that before she became a member of the Empire Theater Stock Company, and when still in her teens, she had been lead- ing woman for Lawrence Barrett, John Mc- | Cullough, Joseph Jefferson, W. J. Florence and the elder Salvini. > . . 2999999909990 9090399> eee ee eee Theo.

The scene is on the Island of Jersey in the latter part of the eighteenth century, at? the commencement of the outbreak of the | French revolution. The heroine, Guida, has been married secretly to Philip d Avranche, who persuades her under a solemn compact to reveal the marriage to nobody while he goes to France. In that country, tempted by th: inducements of wealth and rank, he enters’the bonds of wedlock with the daugh- ter of a French nobleman, Inthe meantime troubles fall thickly around his poor wife in the Island of Jersey.

Mrs. Crawford has not visited the United States for 16 years heretofore. One of the arguments advanced by Gov.

And [am going to do it. “I have a yacht, the Annie Russell, named for my wife and myself, and I spend much of my time onit. Since the boating season opened on the river this year I have spent Uttle of my time at the office. I have gone up and down the river and into its tributaries, fishing, hunting and just boating, and it has been the great year of my life. “TI tind the business here goes on with- out me I do not abandon if{t as much as you would think.

He wanted me to see it, but I had closed the bargain and had aman on his way to Keokuk to get the boat. My river man tis “Billy” Fluent, up at Alton.

NEW YORK,. Dec. 20. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. By DR. MARY WALKER. M moral. Y FIRST and only love affair has a It for this reason that I am able, at this late day, to summon up the courage to tell of it. For my hope in thus 4isclosing the secrets of my own heart is that my story may make plainer the principles of justice and self- sacrifice to young women who cling selfish- ly to one eligible sweetheart as if no other young man could ever he found. My story goes back half a century. It was at that time that I was a student at the Syracuse Medical College. The main hall overlooked the street where the business throng surged, and on either side, but for its solid masonry, could have been heard the voices of the professors as Between the arrival and departure of the instructors they filled their various ‘chairs. some of the students repaired to the win- dows to look at the pedestrians below. One of the occasions on which I joined this group at the windew proved the dawn of my love affair. Quite innocently I made a remark with- out thought of an objectionable construc- tion. But I was surprised to be addresse4 by a fine-looking student, who sald to me, in a confidential tone of voice: ‘‘Don't use such an expression.”’ “Why not?” I replied. He evidently was not expecting an ar- gument as to the merits or demerits of the question. His judgment as a man of what a woman ought to say seemed to him conclusive, for men in those days were not habituated to questioning of their judg- _ ment by women. “Woman's sphere’ was then held to be acquiescence. The fact of a few young women being medical students did not convince men students thet women were to exercise any special reasoning powers, or even make “codes,” simply because they desired to know, and were actually knowing, a science supposed to belong to men, “Ought women to learn the alphabet?" had not then been published as an import- ant query at the ‘‘Hub of Creation,”’ and the superior brain of man had not counted the cost of allowing women to enter world-wide competition. Indeed, men had not yet dis- covered, to their chagrin, that some women were so ethereal as to fly above them or too ponderous to be movable by them. Therefore, Mr. Harndseme Man blushed di- vinely and seemed sadly puzzled for a reply to my unexpected question. I helped him out of his dilemma by saying that I could see nothing bad in my expres- Sion. He then found voiee to say that “There was nothing bad, only boys were always making something bad out of it.’’ Just then the professar appeared and all were soon taking notes But I continued to think of the handsome student. Not in a particularly romantic way, for my plan of life was already formed, Even before I was sixteen I had resolved to study medicine and be a ‘missionary to the heathen women’’ where men doctors never saw the face of a native woman. I had pictured conversions regarding the women’s souls while saving their bodies. If | ever married, my Yusband must be a clergyman missionary. But now affairs had taken a different turn. A doctor fledgling had taken a pure interest in me. One's “best friends are those who see faults’ and in a nice way try to correct them. My) brain, I believed, had been reached; mj reason appealed to. Already I began to declare that there was enough ‘“‘missionary work'’ among women in my own country, since the vogue of long skirts, crinoline and corsets was still un- diminished. At this time I had Itved over a score of years and never owned a corset. But the handsome man never asked such a simple question as “why a girl who knew the causes cf weakness in women did not ignore professional knowledge end dress just like »ther women.” Tt {is not a long distnnce from the head to the heart, and when the gentleman in ques- tion asked if he could ‘walk the same street as myself,’’ I answered that I did not know how I could prevent .him. But he never walked but a few biocks at a time, and without any words about unything but pure- ly professional matters we parted each time as casual friends. Not from “instinct.” but from cool rea- soning, I saw why these short walks were taken, and as coolly resolved that my little heart should not be diverted from my pro- fessional studies until I was the owner of a medical disploma. I aid not invite my brother student to call on me, and as two very important matters could not be considered at the same time ! continued the one that was imperative and allowed the other a half promise in my own mind till a convenient season. One day my turn came to remonstrate. The handsome stucent came into the lec- ture hall with a lighted cigar in his mouth and sat down by an open window. As no one was near that particular win- dow 1 walked to him with my face partly covered with my handkefchief and told him | for words. lished. * * * . How much I really thought of some student I never realized until a time came when I found him seated at the win- dow reading a finely written letter well filled on four sides of a large sheet of paper, “You have a love letter,” “It is a lady's writing.” He replied: “It is from a lady with same initials as your own, but no love letter.” Then he handed to me, saying: ‘You may read it.” I declined. great sorrow came over me which 1 dis- guised and resolved to overcome and ap- pear the same as usual. It was not jealousy, for that lives and thrives in small souls regardless of the greatness of stature or the weight of body belonging to it. It was a far-fetched power from the girl writer conveyed in the atmosphere of the letter—unseen, undefinable, unknowable as Such, yet bringing an ultimatum that per- vaded my whole brain and heart—which told me how the writer of that letter felt toward the student. True, the receiver of the letter could not comprehend this, even with the handling and the reading. Such perception belongs to a Woman’s nature and would, in his case, I believe, have been dulled by the tobacco which he had too recently abandoned to ap- preciate his release. I knew that my friend’s correspondent loved him. * 2 * 7. . Graduating day approached. He asked me if he could visit me at my Oswego home. To his surprise—for a pent-up sorrow not expressed dictated my answer—I said ‘“‘No'” With a blanched face he asked the reason why. I answered that “M. E. W.” expected to marry him. He replied that there ‘had never been a word about love or of mar- riage spoken or written by either Miss W—— or himself.” But I insisted no girl could write such long letters to a man she did not expect to mar- ry. I added that I could not think of enough to fill such a letter as he had received. I could not look at him as I told him this for fear my high resolve not to wrong the heart of a girl I had never met would In Some manner be weakened. How much it cost me to carry out this resolve is one of those mountainous infinitesimals that are languageless. But I succeeded. my own love story. Dr. M. M. G. married M. EF. W. and in course of time, with his beautiful dark-eyed wife, visited me. And several visits were exchanged thereafter. But the contrast between that magnifi- cent woman and myself overwhelmed me from the beginning. How he could for a moment havé preferred the Walker instead of the magnificent Miss W was always a mystery until after the grave closed over both the doctor and his wife. In the visits there was a close friendship between the two women, but never was there the least word or look to remind of the past by the two doctors save in profes- sional talk. Principle in both asserted it- self. A beautiful son came to bless the Gs. for Ov or a year, and then it was an angel. After I had been through the war I called on the Gs. at Utica, N. Y., where the déctor had a fine practice. The eyes of Mrs. G. were dry as she spoke of ‘‘the loss of the child.”’ “Don't speak to my wife about the death of our child, as she cannot bear it,’’ said the doctor soon after my arrival. But when he knew I had already done so he seemed relieved. The last time I saw the Gs. was in the Greeley campaign, when I spoke politically in Utica. Mrs. G. seemed despondent, for her husband was not quite well. During the illness of the doctor some time after, when she found that her husband could not recover, she went to the top of the house and hung herself. Her husband’s consternation, when she was found dead for love of him, was such that in his weakened state the anodyne he took to produce sleep brought to him what proved to be his last sleep and both were soon in the great future together. When I was informed of the suicide of Mrs. G. the mystery was solved. 1 knew why Dr. G. had preferred me, for he doubt- less credited me with brains and balance And my course in not marying him because of principle was clearly shown to be wise. Indeed, I felt amply rewarded by the thought that I had saved Miss W—— from probable suicide that would have resulted from the knowledge that Dr. G. had mar- ried another woman. Agony for the fine, sensitive man and lasting sorrow for myself would likewise have been part of the price paid for the love I sternly dented myself. Miss W-—, I found, was as great a hater of tobacco as I, but she so feared she would lose Dr. G. if she mentioned her abhorrence — Profound respect was estab- . + . the hand- I ventured, But at the same moment a I had put an end to " ae a THE IMMENSIT of wor!d, ITH one-twentieth the popula- of the United States is credited with tion the over one- fifth of the entire wealth in the world.

There are nearly 50 organized clubs, owning comfortable clubhouses ac~ cessible from St. Louis, made up of devo- teesc of the rod and gun who reside-in this city. These clubs, as to their location, fol- low the lines of least resistance—the great railroad lines leading out in four directions. Three states—Missourl, Arkansas and Il- linots—furnish the happy hunting grounds and the alluring angling waters. It is estimated that there are nearly 6000 men in St. Louis who hold member- ship in one or another of these clubs, and perhaps another 6000 who make an annual visit of a day or a week or a fortnight as invited guests at the clubhouses. The number of men who imagine that they can not get away from business, but are firmly resolved to join a Nimrod club next year and enjoy an outing, cannot be estimated. These urban-rural clubmen are fine, hear- ty fellows, the Teddy Roosevelts of the town, the believers in the strenuous life, the advocates of the theory that the sur- vival of the fittest embraces the destruc- tion, in limited quantities, of beast and fowl and fish. In other words, they are born sportsmen, and they count themselves fortunate in being so located that they can reach their El) Dorado of sport by a few hours’ ride on the train. Some of these sportsmen are millionaires. Some economize on cigars in order to be able to take an occasional outing. The lat- ter enjoy the sport just as much as ithe iformer. The thrilling pull of a big volack | bass is just as delightful to a poor man as ‘to a six-figure signature expert. The rod and gun make al! men brothers. These sportsmen's clubs may be roughly classified {n four divisions, according to their location. In northeast Missouri, up the Burlington line, in St. Charles and Lin- coln Counties, 1s a group of clubhouses widely known. Out on ths Gasconade and Big Piney rivers, along tha Frisco rallroad, west of the city, is another group. Down the [ron Mountain Route, in Wayne, Butler and Dunklin Counties, Missouri, and in Greene County, Arkansas, here is a string of club’ settlements. North and slightly east of St. Louis, in TIllino1s, along the Mis- sissippi and Illinois rivers, in Calhoun, Fike and Scott Counties, is found the fourth di- vision. Perhaps the most °x:'usive of these clubs is the Cuivre, 47 miles northeast of St. Louis, in St. Charles County. Their club- house is three and a half miles east Gi O'Fallon on the Wabash and near Muapie Lake station on the Burlington. There are ~ members, as folfows: J. C. Van Blarcom, Lee, secretary; David R. Francis, Charles D. Mcl.ure, George Wright, D. S cfloimes, P. C. Maffitt, I. W. Morton, Georye Dana, B. W. Clark. H. Clay Pierce, George Edgell, Will Harstick, Rolla Wells, Samuel Dodd, George L. Allen, N. Chapman, Edwards Whittaker, J. B. C. Edward Walsh, Jr. All these clubme2n are wealthy and some are millionaires. Their property consists of 2000 acres, under fence, with fine game pre- serves and private lakes stocked with fich. A new clubhouse, with 20 room3, electric lights, hot and cold water in each room, has been completed recently. The old build- ing has eight ro: @: and an add.tion two more. ; Superintendent William RBeschen resides on the club preserves all the year rourd and game keepers patrol the. premises. The new house cost $10,000 and is fu-nished with a long-distance telephone to St. Louis, with other metropolitan adjuncts whicn startle the staid country folk in that region. President. Diaz of the Mexican republic was once entertained at-the Cuivre Club. Another well-known club in that direction is the Dardenne Game and Fish Club. The Durdenne clubhouse is near Peruque, on the Burlington, 40 miles above St. Louis, in St. Charles County. It is on the Mississippi river at Berk’s Landing, a quarter of a mile from the railroad station. The club- house is handsome and commodious. Rich- ard Hospes ts president and Dr. H. J.

The one with the largest membership is the Buffalo Island Hunting and Fish-ng Club, at Bertig, Ark., with nearly 300 mem- all St. Bertig may he reached by either the Iron Mountain or the Cotton Belt route. It is 240 miles to Paragould, where the passenger changes to a bobtail line that takes him to Bertig, 10 miles or so east. This club has a comforta- ble home on the banks of the St. Francis, that stream so famous for the big black bass. There ts also a ladies’ and children’s annex building. The officers of the Buffalo Island Club are C. S. Wheeler, president; A. R. Berg- feld, vice-president, and John H. Holmes, secretary Vergilio, an experienced caterer, is manager and resides at the club- house most of the year. The club furnishes expert guides to take sportsmen to the best fishing and hunting grounds. A few miles north of the Buffalo Island Club is the home of the Lone Gum Island Outing Club. This is in Dunklin County, Missouri, on the east bank of the St. Francis, 16 miles north of Bertig. The club- men go by boat or wagon from Bertig. The organization owns the land upon which the clubhouse is located. G. U. Hugunin is pres- ident of the club. Other members are Dr. D. S. H. Smith, Anderson Gratz, Jefferson Dan- iels, Ben Gratz, B. B. Graham, Thomas Crouch, Walter Taylor. The club owns a handsome launch which plies up and down the St. Francis. A new club of St. Louis sportsmen Is the Loda Hunting and Fishing Club, organized early in 1900. It has a clubhouse at Knobel, Ark., the junction point of the main line of the Iron Mountain and its Helena branch, in easy access to Black river, the St. Fran- cois, L'Anguille and Cache rivers, and Mill, Maiden and Allen lakes. Dr. G. A. Jordan, City Dispensary physician, is president, and D. Loda of Knobel is secretary and treas- urer. The board of directors includes Dr. Cc. M. Starkiloff, health commissioner, Thomas Couch and O. G. Mueller. Twelve miles from Bertig Is the Moark Hunting and Fishing Club's headquarters. A roomy clubhouse with up-to-date conven- iences stands near the river bank. Near Bertig also is the Knobel Club's house, and not far away the Brooklyn Club has a home. All these organizations are made up of St. Louisans. In southeast Missouri, a hundred miles or so nearer than the Arkansas resorts, are a number of sportsmen’s clubhouses. At Wappella, Wayne County, 162 miles from St, Louis, is the St. Francis River Hunting and Fishing Club. Ex-Congressman Seth W. Cobb is president and E. C. Lackland secretary. Some of the enthusiasts in the membership are Griff Prather, Charles Sut- ton and Capt. Ables. To reach the club- house the traveler goes to Williamsville by the Iron Mountain railroad, to Wap- pella, twenty miles, by the Hauck branch road, and one mile by wagon or afoot. The Castor River Club, near Poplar Bluff, Mo., has a commodious clubhouse. Buffington is the nearest village. Not far from Doniphan, in Ripley County, is located the Current River Club, reached by rail from Williamsville On the Gascenade and Big Piney rivers, reached by rail on the Frisco line, a hun- dred miles or so from St. Louis, is a group of clubhouses. One of the newest and most enthusiastic is the Jerome Hunting and Fishing Club, on the Gasconade, 125 miles southwest of this city. The railroad station is Jerome, and the clubhouse is but a short distance from the depot. The house was opened a few months ago with a grand turn-out of members, who went down tn a special car. County Clerk B. H. Rucker of Rolla, Phelps County, is president, but the mem- bers are St. Louisans, in the main. O. B. Fuller is vice-president and manager; Henry Dale, secretary, and S.-H. Hogsett treasurer. These gentlemep, with Walter I’. McEntire, comprise the board of di- rectors, At Bourbon, Mo., on the Meramec river, is Blue Springs Summer Lodge, which is the name of a clubhouse whither many St. Louisans repair to hunt and fish and en- joy a general outdoor vacation. It is reached by the Frisco line. The Illinois bottom ts one of the four fa- vorite fields of the St. Louis sportsman. Along the shores of this beautiful river, with its broad lowlands and splendid hills, are the club homes of many hundreds of city men who delight to fish and hunt in the field. The Illinois bottom was in the Indians’ days a great hunting ground, and many a fierce battle did the aboriginal hunters fight for possession, and it is now, though big game in bers, Louisans. Steve is long gone, a country abounding migratory birds and game fish. Within recent years St. Louis sports- inen have secured hunting privileges upon many of th.s land, and there is -tow scarcely an un- claimed tract in all the distance between Peoria and the mouth of the Illinols river. The Peoria sportsmen have come down far as Montezuma, and the first St. preserves meet them there. Perhaps the finest club property Illinois bottom that of the Club, in the memberg are and professional men of St. Louis. The club ‘ated at Grand Pass, the Ililinois above Pearl. It is 80 miles from St by the Chicago & Alton Railroad. It beautiful clubhouse at Sand Ridge and Goose Lakes, a two-story bullding with nd cold water, bath, telephone and another convenience and comforts club owns 74 acres of land, and has a fishing lease upon addl- Around the clubhouse are a garden and orchard, and George A. Clark, he keeper, lives there and looks after the club property. The officers of the club are John H. Tennent of the Tennent-Stribling Shoe Co, president and treasurer; Judge George W. LubkKe, secretary. The mem- bership is Umited to 2, and the club fs ll years old. Ita members have made every arrangem: nt to keep their eye on the sport. Mr. Tennent said to the Sunday Post-Dis- thousands of acres river us Louis the Paes . in is (irand which busine is lo« on river., Lu ul has «1 os an cres patch: “We have a telephoné wire running out to our clubhouse from the C. & A. depot at Pearl, which ts on the Chicago Alton Railroad four miles below us.

He says he would much rather hunt than eat, and he believes a gun and a lield the best medi- cines in the world Mr. Price was for several] years a member of the Grand Pass Club, but has within the last few months or- ganized the Buck Lake Club, which has a preserve in the ILllinols bottom just ad- joining the Gratd Pass grounds on the north. Mr. Pric® says he hunted on this land while a mémber of the Grand Pass Club, and was s¢ impressed with the sport it afforded that he determined to seize upon it for his St. Louis friends. ‘ The Buck Lake Club has a membership limited to 50, aud since the list was made up the organizefs have been compelled to refuse half a hundred sportsmen desiring to become members. Mr. Price is the president, Judge Warwick Hough vice- president, Williatn J. Jones the treasurer, George F. Andrews the secretary and W. J. G. Adams the resident superintendent. The club has for a clubhouse the dence of Mr. Adams, a big, comfortable house near Buck Lake. It is in Scott Coun- ty, and the nearest railroad station is Al- sey, on the Burlipgton. The preserve cov- ers 5000 acres, 2000 acres of this In water at Buck Lake. There is both hunting and fishing on the grounds, which reach from the lllinois river over the bluffs four miles back on the Scott County side. The club members have an annual contract with Mr. Adams to look after their property, haul them to and from the railroad, provide food and shelter ayd keep them posted on the movements of game. The following is a complete roster of the club. It shows how the business and pro- fessional men of St. Louls are Interested in this sort of sport: George K.

NEWELL * At Beginning Oe New Century o_o o—__0—_o—__0—_@ WILL TEAC The Biggest Bible Class in the World Union Bible Class Has Grown to Such Immense Proportions That the Coliseum Is the Only Place That Will Hold It—Mr. Newell’s Methods Are Unique.—A Character Study and an Account of One of His Continuous Lessons. EGINNING with the twentieth cen- where will be the biggest - tury, Bible class in the world? In St Yes, at taught by whom? By William R. By William R ject will be what? To fit teachers for teaching the Bible Coliseum And it Loujs, at the the Coliseum, will be Newell. Newell. And the ob- and-preachers for preaching it and read- ers for reading it understandingly, and to sect going in St. Louis a gigantic revival movement, This biggest Bible class in the world will be attended by whom? By the people. True, by the people. By all the people, irrespective of church denomination? The mame of the class will be what? The Union Bible Class. Union Bible Class. That means that all the pastors are co-operating, and all the Sunday school teachers are taking part, and all the laymen who desire are being enlightened in Bible knowledge and ap- preciation by these lessons. The foregoing questions and answers serve to show, better than a column of ex- planatory remarks, the manner and method of William R. Newell in teaching his great Bible class now meeting at the Washington- Compton Avenue Presbyterian Church each Tuesday afternoon and evening. They indi- cate also the tuture develojyrent of the Union Bible Class, for it is no secret, though not yet formally announced, that beginning with the new century the class will remove from the church to the Coliseum, and there is every indication that the attendance will be so large in that vast auditorium that no- where else In the world will there be a Bi- ble class with so many members. The class seeks new quarters because it is necessary to have more room for growth. When, back itn October, a group of local clergymen decided to invite Mr. Newell to teach an undenominational Bible class in St. Louis, the original intention was to meet in an ante-room of Rev. Dr. Sneed's church. It was not believed that the at- tendance would be so large, in the begin- ning, at any rate, to require larger accommodations. But the very § frst meeting of the class proved that the ministers had builded better than they knew, for about 800 persons aitended and the gathering was held in the main auditorium of the church. It is a large church auditorium, too, but at every subse- quent meeting it has been filled, and upon most of the occasions many hundreds of persons have been turned away for lack of room, The attendance has been remarkable, not omly in numbers, but in the character of those who go. Some of the wealthiest men in the city are members. Many well-known business men make it a point to spend Tuesday afternoon or evening at the class meeting. In some of the downtown offices of great corporations there are young men and young women who take their Bibles to work with them Tuesday morning, and go directly to the church in the evening to get the benefit of the lesson. This Bible class is nearly continuous for five hours, as it begins at 3:45 o’clock in the afternoon and runs till 9 o'clock at night. There is an hour for refreshments. The Tuesday afternoon session opens with an exposition of New Testament Scriptures. Thfs is followed by a special lesson for Sun- day schaol teachers and personal workers, with an exposition of the next Sunday school lesson, in all of which divisions of the work Mr. Newell is the directing spirit. Supper is servéd in the cosy basement of the church. For a small sum the class mem- bers may eat a warm or cold luncheon or a palatable meal. Many of those who can spare the time go early in the afternoon, stay for supper and attend the evening class, thus enjoying all the five hours’ flow of biblical exposition from the lips of the man who, it is said, is better fitted for Bible teaching than any other religious worker, What of Mr. Newell? lle was with Moody. That means much. It means that he caught a great deal of the gealous spirit of that great evangelist and Bible student. Perhaps no man ever had the S ripture s at bis tongue’s end more completely and undenia- bly than the late Dwight L. Moody. From renesis to Malachi, from Matthew to Reve- lation, he knew the book and taught it to others. Mr. Newell, who is assistant super- intendent of the Moody Institute in Chi- cago, where Bible teachers are fitted for their work, knows the Bible as Moody knew it. He has texts and passages and chap- ters and books at his command, in any con- tingency, always ready with the right cita- tion at the right moment, never lacking in apt illustration and quotation from the Scriptures. Mr. Newell is not persona!ly an imposing man, but he Is a striking one. Heé is slight- ly below the medium size, rather tal! for his build, somewhat sharp-featured, smooth- shaven, hairs just tinged with gray, large mouth, prominent nose. His voice is mellow, and after getting started he@ealks rapidly. He dresses in black, wearing a Prince Al- bert coat, unbottoned, and a black bow tie, with standing collar that has triangular ‘ears.’’ His appearance is clearly clerical. He looks the preacher and he acts the preacher, though of the evangelist kind, rather than the pastoral. The teacher’s gestures are few, but effec- tive. Sometimes he stands with right hand outstretched. Always he holds his Bible in one hand, usually pressed to his right breast with his left hand, but sometimes behind his back. It gives one the fancy that Mr. New- ell absorbs the influence of a sort of spir- itual hypnotism bg close personal contact with his Bible; and when his keen eyes flash and his words roll forth in a@ torrent; ap- parently without effort, one is impressed further with the fancy—or the convicijon— that this man teaches by the authority of some occult infiuence. Tuesday evening Mr. Newell had a class of about 1400 persons. He occupied a little more than an hour in his Old Testament les- son, exclusive of several minutes taken up by announcements and introductory re- marks. At his back is a huge blackboard, and from time to time the teacher writes a word or two thereon, in explanation of, his teaching or as a catch-pin for the memory. Mr. Newell, theugh only about 85 years of age, looks past 40. He has had long experi- ence as a teacher of Bible teachers. That was what he was fitted for at the Moody In- stitute, studying under the great teacher who founded the institute, He chose for his life-work the instruction of Bible teachers in the work of explaining the Scriptures and applying them. He appears to have a spe- cial aptitude for this labor, as his success therein attests. Mr. Newell is kept busy every night in the week but one. Monday eveni§'s he teaches a Union Bible Class in the First Presby- terian Church, Detroit, Mich.; Tuesday evenings, St. Juis; Thursday evenings, First Baptist Church, Chicago; Friday even- ings, Union Park Congregational Church, Chicago; Saturday evenings, Chicago Ave- nue Church, Chicago. His three Chicago classés are on the south, west and north sides of that city respectively. The following stenographic report of Mr. Newell's preamble and lesson Tuesday even- ing on the first 16 chapters of the book of Numbers, the first to be published in any St. Louls n@wspaper, furnishes the reader some idea a8 to the methods of the teacher. He began, while ushers distributed cards to the audience: With W. RR. Newell and His Bible Class. “If any of you would like to have a prayer meeting in your home every week at a certain time, choose your own day and the hour most convenient to you. Those of you who would like to have prayer meetings in your homes, turn the card over and write your name and address, day of the week and hour of the day you would like to have the meeting. Give the s#@eet number, day and hour and I will bring before the meets ing next week the name and addresses where meetings will be held and arrange with the people after the meeting. “I am very careful on this one thing; I would rather have it than a large bank ac- count; 1 would rather see this audience really get the spirit of God than anything I could think of. I also want you to take care of these meetings and ask others to come. it will be your meeting that you have in your home.” After asking the young men to pass the basket for the cards which had been dis- tributed to every person in the house, he said: 3 “I want you to notice that this is the first collection we have taken yp. I am rot after collections, my brethren, and if I can get out of St. Louis without giving anyone * *% “T believe 1] am lost- l'll get all his toys and a - “ - — om . = menay: the occasion of saying that Iam after money, I will gladly do it, and praise God. I will do-it if I have to walk out. “I want to speak about next week— Christmas week. A large number would like to have the meeting go right on, but I feel away down in the lowergstory of my neart; 1 feel that a good many would rather not come Christmas, even if they could. Now, I do not want to force my ideas on anyone about Christmas, either one way or the oth- er, nor do I ‘want to disappoint some who cannot get to the afternoon meeting-at any other day excepting the holiday. “There will be a meeting next Tuesday at 3 o'clock in. the afternoon, either in this room or the room right below. We wili begin vy waiting upon God. I shall expect to give a sermon from the word of God and those who want to come will be very welcome. There will be prayer and at 3.45 there will be a Bible lesSon, which will Le of special interest. We will not have the special lunch- eon at 6 o'clock next weck, but if you desire to bring lunch it will be all right, of COUrSO but we will not have the special lunch at 6. It will be a time of. Waiting upon God from 3 to 3:45, and I expect to give a sermon from the word of God.”’ Mr. Newell began his Bibte lesson proper by asking questions, which were answered by the congregation: “What dfd God, in the book of Genesis, choose of the whole. human race, or the races, as those who truly felt God?” Answer by congregation: *‘The people.’’ “He chose these people in whom?” “In Aaron.” “After reaching Egypt he called them in Jacob, in Israel, and called them in [saac, and finally brought them forth in Whom?’ ‘In Jacob.” “The nation whom?” “Of Israel.”’ “In what condition did he find them?” ‘‘In slavery.’”’ “How does he redeem them?’ “By blood.”’ “After he has redeemed his people by blood of Christ, after he has brought them through the Red Sea by miracle, he re- deems them by blood. Did he redeem them by law or grage?”’ Answer: “BY grace.’ “By grace; and when they were hungry what did he rain down upon them?” Answer: ‘““Manna.”’ “And then when they are thirsty what does he do?” “Commands Moses to smite the rock.” is called the children of “Because of unbelief Moses strikes the rock twice and cannot enter into me prom- ised land. Why?” ‘“‘Recause of unbellef.’”’ “Did God administer to them by law or grace.”’ “By grace.” “Py grace, because they were sinful. God takes them back and puts them under law enc reveals to them their sins and puts them under tutors and guardians. The Taw is but a schoolmaster. Did God expect th2m to be saved by the law?’ ts “Did God choose them by law or grace?” “He chose them by grace.” “We find he redeemed them in Exodus. In Exodus we come to the erection of the tabernacle. What tabernacle was erected?” “God's tabernacle.” “Why did God erect the tabernacle?’ ’ ‘To dwell among them.” “But the people did not yet know how to approach God. Did they know the way of access to God?” “No,” “They must be taught the way and rites of God. But there was one special man whose duty it was to go in before the peo- ple. Who really is this one great person?’ ‘‘Jesus.”’ “If anyone rejects Jesus can such a one have accegs in prayer to God at all?’ - NO.” “No, certainly chosen in not. The people have been been redeemed in Exodus and God has come forward among them in Leviticus. They have been taught how to approach God and are now ready to march. They march in by what land ?’’ Genesis, have are to “Canaan.” “How far was it to Canaan?” “Eleven days’ march.” “Moses tells us that it was 11 days®march, And how long did it take them to enter?’ “Forty years.” “Does God day should be "an “Why did it that Christians of to- Ww years?” mean take them so long?” “Because of unbelief.” 3 “This is the same reason that Christians de not enter—this sin of unbelief. “The people are now ready to march. God must get them arranged. Is God a God of confusion or is he a God of order?” “4 God of order.” “God is getting them in order; everyone knows just where he belongs and knows just what to do. Was it God’s plan to have the church in the confusion she is in to- day?’’ “No.” : (Dwells here upon the duty of the mem- bers of the church, saying that order can- not be expected until riot is abandoned, étc.) “I have heard people say, “I wish we had the same manifestation of God as chey had in those days.’ Beloved, do you know that if everyone were as good as God wants us to be this room would be tilled with the glory of God? It is unbelief that keeps God away. If you are going to love God, yOu will have to repent of your unbel.ef, you will have to get out of it. I believe that if an unbeliever came into a room filled with righteous men and women, he would fall down upon his face and say that God is in this place. This is an example of God's manifestation. It is absurd to say that God will not manifest-himself.” Mr. Newell writes on chapters 1 to 16 inclusive. “What does God ask Moses in the first chapter?’ ‘‘Number the peogiie.” ‘In the latter part of the book we find them numbered again after 40 years. Please keep this in mind and see whether they have increased in number or decreasd in number. In the second chapter what definite arrangement?” “To get the camp én order.” “Yes, reduce the camp to order. In the third and fourth the order on the service of what tribe?’ ‘‘Levites. In the fifth chapter the orders put outside of camp everyone who has lep- rosy or is unclean. Why? Those who have the leprosy shall be put out of camp in or- der that the devil might not come wh2re I dwell. Your body is a temple of holiness. Put things that are unclean out of it. The other chapter is the idea of separation. The next chapter contains the order that I will warrant many pecple did not know was in the Bible or what book it was in, at least. It is the order concerning jealousy.” (Writes on board, “Fifth chapter—Separa- tion.’’) “The sixth chapter is the law of the Nazarins. In the seventh chapter the princes bring gifts before the Lord, and we will mark this chapter ‘Gifts of Princes.’ Eighth chapter—the tribe of Levites are given to Aaron. They were consecrated. To whom have we been given by the Father?” “To Christ.” “Tlow were the Levites given to Aaron?’ “By consecration.” “How were we given to Christ? We were consecrated by God.

LONDON, Dee, 14 Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. IR REDVERS BULLER'’S recent re- mark that the Boer is a _ better marksman than the Briton because he has “‘the eyesight of the savage,”’ en- abling him to see two miles farther than his enemy, has evoked a vigorous discussion in England. Can the savage really see any better, hear any better or smell any better than the civilized man? It is popular to hold that civilization has blunted the senses of men and robbed them of physical endur- ence, Exception is taken sicht of the savage,”’ the ground that there's the savage should have better eyesight than the civilized man, and that, in fact, when the civilized man trains his eyesight as the savage trains his, there is nothing to choose between them. There is no difference of structure in the eyeball, the Spectator points out, and the difference in the health ts rather in favor of the civilized man. The latter, no doubt, very often loses something of the keenness of his sight from much reading and the use of artificial light, but Tommy Atkins {s no philosopher, reads little more than the savage, and burns no midnight oil. The truth is that thé Boer, like the sav- age, habitually trains his eye, as the sailor does, to look into the far distance, and acquires from that training, and the habit of close attention to all signs of movement on the part of his quarry, a power of quick perception which seems to be without to the phrase “eye- by philosophers on no reason why it almost miraculous. Hie sees game or an enemy minutes be- fore Tommy can, just as a sailor sees a sail or a smoke minutes before a lands- man can, but there is no difference of orig- {nal or natural powers. Tommy could be trained, if we took sufficient trouble to train him arid allowed sufficient time, just as well as the Boer, and very often is trained when he is a gamekeeper, or in any other way dependent upon the acuteness of his sight. Let any one who doubts this just take a walk with an ornithologist, and remark what the latter sees, and at what distance, when compared with himself. This question has a military bearing of great importance, for unless a soldier can be taught to shoot as well as any possible enemy fils usefulness is very much in doubt. | Jes eS Se Those familiar with the work of United States troops on the frontier agree that with proper training the white man's purely physical faculties are not a whit inferior to those of the “gd man. It is pointed out that if civilization di- minished the physical powers of the av- erage human being, that would preclude the hope of man ever developing a kind of aristocracy with the powers both of body and mind increased to a point far beyond present experlence—the dream of the edu- cators who foster athletics as well as read- ing in the pupils.

WAS born in the State of New York on a farm. I began working early in life, securing employment on railroads and working in almost every department of the business. I was especially interested in rail- road construction and came West. I foresaw that there would be much construction in this part. of the country, and wanted to have a hand in it. I built a great deal of railroad, and made money. I brought quite a sum of money with me when I came to St. Louls,. I began to invest in street car lines, and from .hat my interests increased until I became inter- ested in many things. I attribute my success to the things I would urge upon every ambitious young man, He must be honest, mined to accomplish the to do. He must win the confidence of the people among whom he lives. They will be quick to learn his true worth. If he is a rascal they will know it despite his efforts to keep it hidden. If he is an honest. and deserving man they will be quick to see that, The con- fidence of his home community is a neces- to the young man who is ambitious to through legitimate business industrious and deter- things he sets out sity make channels.

There are hundreds of avenues of wealth today that had not been opened 40, 30, 20 and 10 years ago. New oOp- portunities arise every day. The young man of this day in this ought to be thankful that he is on the earth in this place this time, for we certaimy have the greatest country in the world. It offers the most opportunities, and any young man who determines that he will make a mark for himself can do it if he will follow the of honesty and real effort. The only young feliow in danger at all is the one with the rich father. | am con- vinced that the young man with the rich father must in this day be a better business man than his father ever was if he is going to succeed. It is the understanding that he must do it, that he is lost if he tails, that makes the self-made man climb up. I have seen it everywhere, and it is so generally and so completely true that I have come almost to feel sorry for the youth who can- not make an effort withput feeling that he has something to fall back on if he does not succeed.

When I began milling we had 10 days in which to pay for wheat. Soon after I came to St. Louis I began paying for my wheat in five days, and later I reduced it to three days. I profited by this. If people had wheat to sell they wanted to sell it to me because they got their money straightway, and this eagerness to trade with me threw to my for- tune many deals in which there were good margins of profit. By JAMES CAMPBELL. if you are a ragpicker and in love with your job you will get rich at it. I attribute my own success to love for my work. I have engaged in several! kinds of work, but I have loved it all. Of course this in itself does not always bring riches, but it is the foundation of riches. Luck has something to do with it: ness to seize opportunities has much to with il; intelligent caution has something to do with it. In every life there are opportunities to make riches. To some the opportunities are better than to others, but they are all op- portunities, The man who seizes the first opportunity that presents itself to him is most fortunate, for to seize this is to become keen to seize others. Such Keenness establishes an incre- ment of prosperity, and riches accumulate with a rapidity surprising the man him- self. I began my career as a civil engineer.

By GEORGE S. MYERS, MADE money because I loved the busi- ness I was in and gave it my time and my best efforts. I began with a small to- bacco manufactory in 8t. Charles County, Missouri, and later came to St. Louis. Wheu I was 18 years old I was sent to Loulsiana, Mo., as superintendent of a tobacco factory there at a salary of $500 a year. It was a big salary for those days. I applied myself to the business and I succeeded. Any man who does this will succeed. I do not know that as a young man I felt that | would make a big fortune. | was lit- tle concerned about money. I was in love with my business and it satisfied me. 1 be- lieve the money will come to any man who loves his business and finds satisfaction tn it to the exclusion of worry whether he will or will not be a rich man. I was determined to make my business the biggest of its kind, Determination in business is half the bat- tle. ), feel that if I were a again at this time and beginning a career, I could repeat my successes. The opportunity will always exist—perhaps not in the same way, but in some way. If a manufacturer can make qa better article than his competi- over them. This will al- be true and if a young man ability and couples with it indus- try and determination he can make himself needed now and always. He does not need to be in business of his own. He can be an yes, | young man tors he can sell it ways has employe. See some of the salaries made now. They range as high as the salary of the Presi- dent of the United States. Surely a man who can makéa salary of ten,twenty,thirty, forty or fifty thousand dollars a year in these days is a successful man. He is mak- ing more than men made when I Salaries were low then, and opportunities for in- dividual business enterprise were better; but the great increase in salaries in these days equalizes all this. The big corporation does not antagonize individual effort. It gives the young man an even greater opportunity to make a mark for himself than young men had when busi- systematic as it some institutions pay—the insurance cdmpanies, the banking houses and the great industria! concerns! The spirit that déveloped busi- in former days is the same spirit that carries men to the high p in these corporations today.

WAS born in New England, and as a Yankee I received what almost every Yankee boy receives—a thorough train- ing in thrift. To this training I attribute, more than to all else, my success in busi- resez. The foundation of independence in finan- cial matters is thrift. Think what riches the working people of St. Louis could have today if they would but save the money they needlessly spend. Every one of them would accwmulate something. We will say a young man saves $100 when he isin his early 4's and permits interest to acerue until he is @, 70 or 80. What a sum it will become in that time!

It is not an impossible thing to ask of a young man. He can do it if he will. He need not spend his money because other people spend. We see struggling young fellows taking young ladies to the theaters. They get a carriage and buy flowers. And why? Be- cause they see others do It. Let me tell you something. The young man who does this is a fool. He impover- ishes himself and injures himself, and he accomplishes nothing. Young women, the most of them, at least, are sensible. They would rather be entertained according to the means of their friends. How many young women, do you suppose, would enjoy the carriage and flowers if they knew these things were destroying the spirit of thrift in their friends and unfitting them for suc- cessful careers?

SUNDAY MORNING —s'J". PUST -DiISPATCH —DECEMBER 23, 1900 LOUIS | A DARING ROBBER AND A SUICIDE f NE a ee re a ee — He Graduated From tne [lexas State University and the Californja Pen and then Made a Study of How to be a Gentleman Thou 4 ha Criminal. RAIN ROBBER CHANNING B. BARNES, better known in 8t. Louis as John Nelson, was an example, though not an exemplar, of the scholar in outlawry. He was perhaps the most pol- ished gentleman that ever blew a safe or sift a throat. But he was a failure. With a diploma from the Fexas State University, where education is broad and liberal like the Texan prairies, he embarked upon a career of criminality which began with the looting of a bank in California and ended with the exit of the criminal by the knife route after he had been shot and dis- abled as a train robber in Loutsiana. Barnes was found dead near the railroad track at Poydras Junction, just outside New Orleans, a few days ago, having taken his own life to avoid capture. He had robbed the Illinols Central train and received two bullets in a subsequent fight with officers. When Barnes, alias Nelson, lived in St. Louts, for about eight months prior to last July, he was known as a wealihy livestock owner from the West. It is true that he was SUICIDE ADVICE FURNISHED SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., Dec. 18. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. ALTER OSBORNE, itinerant pho- tographer, Buddhist, chemist, who passed through this town a few days ago, advertises himself as an expert counselor to would-be suicides. He seeks to induce his clients to reconsider their deter- mination, and, failing in that, he sells them, for $10, a suicide recipe which furnishes them with the knowledge of a never-failing annihilator fin the form of a certain gas sen- erated at a cost of 20 cents, to inhale which brings immediate and painless oblivion and a coroner’s verdict of heart failure. Osborne does not believe in suicide at all, if it can be helped; but if it can’t be helped he advises painiess and scientific suicide and he considers himself a public benefac- tor in so far as he prevails upon self-annil- hilating persons to take themselves off in a decent and orderly manner, saving their friends the shock which comes with the knowledge that one has voluntarily invited the final shuffle. He squared his chair to the table, took out pencil and paper, and wrote, reading afi he wrote, the recipe for suicide—the pretty lit- tle Spanish bellboy popping his head in and out of the door the while. “Take,’’ he wrote and read, potassium and place in a bottle; naming another virulent poison—"l do not yive the names of both chemicals, because - gas is a knowl- ‘“evanide of pour on” method of wsaking th! dge too dangerous tr he laid lightly before the world.

Barnes went to California fresh from col- lege and came to St. Louis fresh from the penitentiary. He had learned much in both institutions. His term in each was the same —four years. In his senior year at San Quentin peni- tentiary Barnes planned his future. He would soon be a graduate of the institution and the great wide world was his oyster, which he would open with his jimmy. So he came to St. Louis, which he decided upon as a base of operations, possibly be- cause it is a great railroad center. Barnes was going into the railroad business, and having read blographies of Jesse James and Cole Younger he yearned to follow in their footsteps in their own state, When Barnes came to St. Louis he was a well-dressed, quiet-mannered, unassuming young man. He boarded at a respectable house in the West End, where he met re- spectacle people. One of his new acquaint- ances was Miss Catherine Dowd, to whom he was married Dec. 7, 1899, under the name of John Nelson. The ‘‘Nelsons”’ went to board at 3658 Fin- ney avenue, where the husband was sup- posed to be wealthy. He appeared to have plenty of leisure, a part of which he em- ployed in practicing feats of marksmanship in the back yard, for the amusement of the other boarders. One of these feats was ta toss up two tin stoppers from beer bottles and shoot a hole through each before they fell to the ground. It was this sort of pistol skill which en- abled Barnes to hold off 10 detectives who went to his boarding house early y last July gas greets you—and there you are. It is very simple.” Walter Osborne is not reticent. Along with the extracts from Emerson and Thoreau. his own queer philosophy, and quotations from the Bhagavad Gita, he poured out his own story. His own creed, up to which he tries to live, he gave In a quotation from the Hindoo philosophy—from the Judge translation of the Bhagavad Gita. “A man,” he quoted, ‘is said to be con- firmed in spiritual wisdom when he for- saketh every desire which entereth into his heart, and of himself is happy and con- tented in the self through the self. His mind is undisturbed; in adversity he is happy and contented; in prosperity he is a stranger to anxiety, fear and anger. Such a man is called a wise man, When, in every condition he receives each event, whether favorable or unfavorable, with an equal mind, which neither likes nor dislikes, his wisdom is es- tablished, and having met good or evil, neither rejoiceth at the one nor is down by the other. cast “lL eraved affection,’ he “and never knew what it was to be caressed.

I turned on them and said, ‘You may laugh now, but you shall not laugh long.’ This re- mark, together with my fondness for laboratory work, was distorted into a threat and together with my fondness for reading Darwin and being set down as an infidel in consequence, was used to force me out of school. My disappointiment and distress moved me to attempt my life.’’ And it was this srrange, fnsignificant, beardless, loquacious young man, with his queer philosophy and queer history who put into his interviewer's hands the Instructions and materials for producing a deadly polson in exchange for $10.20. He gave the secret of death and took his money gaily. ‘*Remember,”’ “T jet you have these things, no responsibility beyond that Still not having implicit faith in this sul- cide expert, the correspondent carried the poisons to several reliable authorities on dangerous drugs to have them tested.

The napkins are a yard square to match, and should be folded in a bishop's cap form. The center piece is a small round mir- ror, about the edge of which is laid a thick hedge of holly sprigs. In the center of the mirror should be a silver fernery or cutglass bow! filled with branches of holly, among which have been twinedy strands of red satin baby ribbon. On the exposed part of the mirror stand little sicighs and skating figures of men and women. These can be purchased at any shop which deals In dinner favors. The candelabra should have red shades. At each cover lay a favor. Try to have these as diverse as possible. Small tmages of Santa Claus, reindeer, sleighs, Christ- mas toys, horns, etc., ase appropriate. } eerty addition to the table is a dec- eration of red ribbon. Make a large buw of broad red satin ribbon, through which a spray of holly has been twisted, and fasten it to one eide of the table, having the ends almost long enough to reach the floor.

OHN ADDISON PORTER, former sec- J retary to the President, and the first man to bear that title instead of the old “private secretary’’ designation, when he died five days ago at his home in Put- nam ended a career which, though rich in Honors from the standpoint of the aver- age man, was a disappointment to himself. Mr. Porter's chief ambition in life was to become governor of Connecticut, his na- tive staie, which he loved with a devotion rare in these days of shifting residence. Three times he tried to secure the nomi- nation of his party for that office, and three times he suffered defeat. Who knows but that this contributed in some meas- ure ta his death at the age of 44, for In 1898, When for the final time he failed to get the coveted nomination, he was a ro- bust and active man? Mr. Porter was a newspaper man, as have been several] of the presidential sec- retaries. His father was the first dean of the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale Unl- versity, and his mother was a daughter of the founder of that school. He was born in New Haven and brought up, as one must perceive, in a bookish atmosphere. When he was graduated from Yale, in 1878, he embarked upon newspaper work, first with the New Haven Palladium, then with the Hartford Courant, the New York Observer, the New York Tribune and final- ly with the Hartford Post, of which he became editor and chief owner. Mr. Porter sank thousands of dollars in trying to put the Post in the front rank of newspapers. He was a hard worker, but his political ambition interfered with his progress as a journalist. generally understood throughout the that Mr. Porter was a standing candidate for the governor- ship. He was, moreover, a strong candi- date, with many Influential friends, and more than once the prize seemed to be al- most in his grasp, but at the last moment the tide turned and he lost. When Mr. Porter became the confidential associate of President McKinley, at the beginning of the term of office, the post of ‘private gecretary’’ was raised to a higth- title by changing the desig- of “secretary to the Pres!t- government au- time the Presi- became state It soon that This was done by and for the first “retary became almost as digni- as a cabinet officer.

His career was, in a more limited sphere of action, similar to that of Mr. 'Bryan so far as disappointments go.

Chrsitmas here again. Men- tion of the feast stirs my memory and causes mé6 certain twinges of conscience. In those days I ” was of crowd of reckless law students who lived high up in those dingy houses in the Rue Cassette. Three of us lived to- gether in those rickety dirt-be- grimed rooms on the fifth floor in the Rue Cassette —No. ll, to be ex- act. The names of my compan- ions were [fF roe- mont and Du- qusneé, This record of adventure, how- ever, mainly con- another. other was Pierrette, the dark-eyed, neat- ankled modiste employed at Carl- fer’s atelier in the Rue-de-la- Paix. Every man who wore the black velvet cap of the “Verveau de Par- is’’ knew Pierret- te, and all treat- ed her with re- spect, for she never went to the Lorraine or places of that stamp, and in her room over in the Rue Lepic lived her younger sister, who was a confirmed invalid. Pierette sup- ported her upon her slender earnings. Pierrette was exuberant of spirit, chic tn dress, however cheap its material: tall, with @ figure supple and graceful, and dark hatr. All three of us were in love with her, but myself she favored most of all. Ah! in those days when all of us believed that we should one day make France ring with our declarations, Plerrette and I built castles {in the air while in the Luxembourg Gardens or in the Bois we walked hand in hand, happy in each other's love. Beneath her bodice she wore, suspended round her meck, the tiny gold crucifix which I had given her. SMT Ee The examination list was issued on Christ- mas ove, and therein, to my unbounded joy, I found my name as having passed my third year in equity. That night Fremont and Duquesne gave a punch tn my honor, and among the fellow-students was their favor- ite, my own Pierrette. We broke up about 8 o’clock on Christmas morning, and on g0- ing forth into the street found that snow had been falling heavily, but had now ceased, and the moon was shining. Pierrette bade farewell to my companions, and then we trudged through the sonw toward her home, “I wish, Paul, you would let me go home alone,"’ she said, suddenly, as we were pass- ing the Jardin du Luxembourg “Why? You've never wished to go alone before.”’ “No,” she replied firmly; “but I wish you to return now. I have a reason.” “What is it?” I demanded. She hesitated, then answered in a@ hard, Strained voice: “I cannot tell you,’ Paul.” “The boulevard is not safe for a girl alone at this hour,” I said, decisivey. ‘‘You must allow me to go with you. Come!” and taking her arm I walked forward. “No!” she cried, drawing back. allow you to—to run such a risk!” “Risk? What do you mean?” I laughed. “It is surely you yourself who would run a risk by walking alone.”’ She would, ‘however, hear no argument. It seemed that with that spirit of perversity which sometimes seizes the capricious sex slie had firmly resolved to go home alone, “Come, wish me au revoir, Paul, and let me go,’’ she urged. “Tomorrow is the fete of Noel. We meet at 10, remember.’ And snatching my hand, she raised it to ber lips and hurried away. I stood by the railings gazing after her in surprise. Soon she was lost to sight, but had left her shapely footsteps in the snow. Of a sudden a thought flashed through my mind. Was it possible that, during the evening when she had been chattering with my fellow students, she had made an ap- pointment to meet one of them? This idea became firmly fixed tn my mind. Pierrette, whom I loved with all the strength of my being, was false to me! i stood there rigid, unable to make up my eind whether to follow her or to turn back home and wait her explanation on the morrow. In the snow were prints of the feet of two persons going in the same direction—onoe of those of a man who had passed a short time previously, the others of Plerrette. She had epoken of a risk, and I think that it was my curiosity which prompted me to follow those footprints. I cannot tell what streets I traversed, except that the footprints led me along the Rue de Medicis and the Boulevard Michel, across the river, along the Rue Montmartre, and then through ~*4at maze of narrow, crooked streets behind the Boulevard de Clinchy. The fact that my love had exactly followed the steps of the wanderer struck me as more than curious. Further, the footsteps the wanderer were s@ange, one print was large and heavy, the other amalil and round. [| cenciuded that the feliow had a wooden leg. At length, after following the trall half an hour or more, it turned into a dark en- try of a narrow, squalid, unfamiliar street and led across an open courtyard to a half open door. I went forward and along a creaking passage which led out at right angles. Of a sudden TIT dtcerned a light shining from within a reem, the door of which had been left ajar. Noiselessly I crept up and peered in. , Y. . w) . > sie : Si wed me tha pienty of companions l scrambled to my feet, but so low was that end of the arched cellar that I not tand upright. Around the walls I searched to find same egress, but there was no door. The only opening, save the @ir-brick in the wall, was a barred tron grating about three feet square close to the slimy floor. 1 tried to wrench it out, wut it was too securely clamped in the stone- work. Whither that opening led I Knew not, My examination, however, proved that it could be lifted from the chamber above and that there was a round hole in the roof closed by an iron plate.

At any moment my captors could drown me and allow my body to be carried away down that dark tunnel to the sewers of the Seine. I listened. Yes: could ' the sound I heard was the low lapping of water upon the will. Then I guessed the truth. I was impris- oned in one of the flushing chambers of the sewers.

At last, just when the water had reached my armpits, I succeed- ed in forcing out a portion of the masonry, making a ‘hole through which I squeezed forth into the outer air. I found myself in a courtyard surrounded by high walls. Darkness had fallen. I knew that it was Christmas evening and that I had existed in that nolsome sewer chamber for many hours. Through the door of an adjoining house I crept noiselessly, fearing lest my enemies were there, and quickly gained the street. Hurrying along SSSA .

Many times since my student days have I been In Paris and wandered about Mont- martre. Ah! how it has changed since that December morning when I followed the trall of that wooden-legged man through the un- trodden snow and so nearly escaped a ter- rible end. But that was ten years ago and ten years form a good slice from a man’s best days. The denouement of the strange drama in Montmartre only occurred la8t July, and a remarkable denouement it proved to be. My own wanderings had taken me back to Paris to pilot some English friends around the exhibition, and having done most of the at- tractions, from the moving sidewalk to the Algerian dances, it was suggested that I should take them to see other “sights.” Rather ungractiously, I belleve, I consented to take them for an evening up to my old student haunts in Montmartre and show them the carabets and ‘“bals-musette,”’ which the ordinary visitor to Paris never sees, We commenced with the carabets of Bru- ant, “Les Quatr-z-Arts” and “Le Treteau de Tabarin;'’ we visited that gruesome un- dertaker’s shop called the “Carabet of Death;"’ spent a quarter of an hour at the tribunal comique at Le Carillon, looked in at the bal-musette in the Rue Coustou, one of the most dangerous but most Interesting in Paris, and at midnight took a drink on“ the terrasse of thé “Dead Rat,” before y ALY “e - olde eidgi pet “f 4 “% which passes the whole panorama of the Montmartre. half an hour, one of my lon hey three respectable | Englishmen—expressed a desire to enter the “Cabaret of Hell.” It was a small place, entrance a grinning demon’s mouth with monster tongue, terrible teeth and glaring green eves.

At the end of the cavern a piece of the wall fell away suddenly, disclosing a scene which caused me to spring from my seat and cry aloud. In the darkness before me was a woman— a beautiful dark-haired woman in white, clinging rope representing an angel. In an instant I recognized her. It was my own Plerettte! She was standing upon a pile of faggots, chained as a martyr to a stake, and the devil bent to the wood and ignited It. The flames leaped up around her ere I could rush forward, but my wild progress was berred by a couple of Satanic attend- ants, the performance was abruptly stopped and my love vanished. Her face was the same sweet, angelic countenance that it had been ten years be- fore. She had not aged a single hour since that night when I had seen her in the hands of her enemies. I pressed forward to the man who called himself Satan, called him aside and de- manded an interview with her. “Ah! Monsteur,”’ he laughed, “I fear that is quite impossible.”’ “Impossible? Why?" I cried. “Because what you see is only an optical fllusion thrown upon a mirror.” “But she is concealed somewhere here and reflected. I must speak with her at once}!”’ “Alas! you cannot.” “I will! She shall tell me everything! I will make her speak!”’ “Then Monsteur’s power is greater than mine,”’ he laughed, “‘because your love is only a figure of wax!’’ “Of wax?’ I gasped. “Come and see,” he said, and conducting me through a passage he showed me my love standing there erect, motionless, with her bare white arms outstretched—a statue in hard, cold, wax! “From whence did you obtain this?” I demanded quickly. “I bought it eight years ago from old Jean Poirier, the showman. With his part- mer, Delport, he was one of the most clever manufacturers of wax figures,” he explained. “This ts his masterpiece and is no doubt a cast from life. I paid 700 francs for It. We call It ‘The Beautiful Face.’ But you say you knew the original. Who was she?" 2 “Tell me first. Did Poirier have a wooden eg’ “NO; but Delport had. Both are dead now. Poirier died a year ago.” “Where did they live?’ “Both lived just at the back of here, tn the Rue Gunnard. They had thelr work- shops on the ground floor. The house had some murder mystery, for whee the place was pulled down there was found beneath the cellar a quantity of bones buried tn quicklime. Only one thing may lead to the identification of one of the vie- tims—a smal! gold crucifix and chain which the police have.” ‘Tell me,’ I asked. person, ts suffocation?’ Of course: | “In taking casts of a — there danger of death rom great danger. is that the bonee My own belief are those of women who died under old Potrier’s hands while taking casts of them,” the man replied, frankly. That same night I Saw, at the Prefecture of Police, the little gold cruicifix and recog- nized it as the one I had civen Plerrette. Then, when I retterated my story to the Police, they agreed that the woman I had loved had been enticed to old Potrier’s by an offer of money and, having been suffo- cated while the plaster cast was being ta- ken, the pair had burted her secretly. I had intruded upon them. and to save themselves they had cast me !fnto the flush- ing chamber of the sewer. The severed head placed with me tn that fatal chamber was, no doubt. an imperfect one of wax—the first taken from the mold. I remember well how hard and white were the Iips that a silk handkerchief was wound about the hair, and that the part severed from the trunk was white, like the rest. The eyes, too, were no doubt of glass. The chain of circumstances was remark- able, but today up on Montmartre dramas of life quite as strange are being enacted year tn, year out, without ceasing. Today any visitor to the “Carabet de l’Enfer” may see the reflection of my lost love, Pierrette, and today, as I wrote, the tiny gold crucifix, my only present to the pure, honest woman who loved me, hangs upon my watch chain. -_--- GARDEN OF EDE ILONDON, Deo. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. OMEBODY, having the price and be S ing so disposed, may take a long term lease on che site of the Garden of Eden. The British government of the Seychelles in the Indian ocean has given notice that bids will be received for periods of nine, 21 and 30 yéars on the islands of the Aldabra group proper, the Cosmoledo group, and the Islands of Astove and As- sumption. As to just which one of the is- lands was the home of Adam and Eve, however, the man who takes the lease must determine. According to travelers almost any of these islands might easily fill the fanciful conditions that may have existed with the first man. There “every prospect pleases,” and on many of the islands there are no men to be vile. The lessees of these Iis- lands will take them for purely commercial purposes, but their settings are considered to be ideal for dreamer or painter. Fixing upon the Seychelles group as hav- ing contained the site vf Kden, the ar- cheologist has had little more to guide him than has one who chose the South Sea Islands. The four quarters of the globe have been settled upon by one or another as the place of this garden described in Genesis, but in the Seychelles selection the beauties of the islunds have been empha- sized as lending cvlor to the beilef. There are 80 of these tn the gencral group, having an area of about Ite Enelish square O! these 8% islands only 18 are In- habited. They rise from a bank, submerged from 10 to 40 -fathums, and lie almost on the equator, in the bluse of the Ind’an ocean. Aden, on the tuez canal, Is 1400 miles north- west, and Zanzibar is 10) miles west. The islands were discovered Ly the Portuguese at the beginning of the 16th century, but they made no effurts to occupy them. The ‘rench took possession of ths group in 1742, calling them after Count Herault de Seychelles of the East Indian fleet. The British wrested them from the French in 1744, taking Mauritius also. Of these islands, Mahe is the largest, and has the seat of government, called Victoria. This capital is an admitiraity coaling station, about 30 days’ travel from London.

The Aldabra group belongs to the general cluster of the BSey- chelles, and it is in this group especially that Governor-General Sweet-Escott of Vic- toria wishes to interest individuals or cor- porations who will take the territory off British hands at a fair rental to the crown. They probably will pass to the highest bid- der in London, and as to whether the possi- bility of acquiring the site of Eden infiu- ences bids is yet to be seen. Most of these islands rise steeply from the sea. Those of the Aldabra group and the Islands of Mauritius and Reunion are of volcanic origin. The Seychelles proper are of granite formation, and from them to the west the sea deepens rapidly until soundings have been taken from 98000 to 12,000 feet. Most peculiar of these island groups are the Seychelles, with their towering moun- tains, crowned with castellated blocks of gray granite and even the valleys stud- ded with them. The mountains rise from 2600 to 3000 feet above sea level and are sources of many of the rapid streams that course through the tslands. The rainfall in a year may aggregate 100 inches or more, and these wash down the granite fragments from the hills, cutting gorges and canyons in the rock formations. The rocks, how- ever, serve the purpose of retaining the rich soil of the islands and most of them are jungies of tropical vegetation. It {s a land of ease and plenty. Creoles from Mauritius and Reunion effected a set- tlement of the matin tslands about 150 years ago. In 1850 negroes were tmported as lia- borers from Mozambiqpe. Europeans, In- dians and Chinese have followed until the population of the 18 inhabited islands !s about 20,000 of all shades, most of them speaking the French tongue, In spite of the 100 years’ occupancy by the British. This peculiarity of language dates from the French-English treaty, by terms of which the British government was not to interfere with either the language or the religion of the people. So the Catholic Church ts tn the ascendency, and French is taught exclusively in the Catholic schools, Until the English commissioners took up the government of the Seychelles, piracy was one of the evils of that portion of the Indian ocean. The British broke this up, however, and for many years the islands have been the home of the Indolent. To- day the island Industries are fishing and the growing of tropical frults and vegeta- bles. The cocoa palm {s one of the chief sources of revenue to the Island. Sugar cane, vanilla, cloves, pepper, coffee and sweet potatoes are produced in great quan- tities. But of these products Dr. A. Brauer of Berlin says pointedly: “Many other plants could be cultivated and large harvests obtained In so rich @ soll, if the Creole did not add to his quall- ties of aratability and hospitality those of drunkenness, untrustworthiness, thought- laziness.

As I stood outside the door, uncertain whether to make a break for it towards the ravine, or whether to carry out my mad promise, a stripling lad had brought me a strong gray horse, sad- died and equipped like the others. “This is yours, man,"’ he said. And by the stress on the last word I knew that the apparent youth was none other than the maid of my love troth. Chairlile Sinclaltr, calling on me for the keeping of my word. And as we rode through the night, our bonnets brushing the dews from the trees on either side of the narrow bridle path, more than ence a smal) ham was laid on my arm, with something in its touch which was half raillery and half a kina of silent. apology. But I said not a word, good or bad, in answer, Never shall I forget that night. I can see as I write the wide glimmering bay. gray under the stars, and the mast of the little lugger a-tilt upon the wet sands far out, Still I can smell the strong salt smell as the horses’ feet slipped sideways on the seaweed and the chains jingled at their flanks. Still I can hear with a flush of shame the low-spoken orders of their lead- ers and the confidential directions which were exchanged over the aide. I can see the kegs being swung out one by one, and again receive them into my arms—I—the man appointed te put a stop to the nefa- rious and unlawful traffic. And then, just as I had the four barrels of my portion all duly secured, there came upon me the crushing thought: “What if Hutchins has got wind of this cargo and we are surrounded and captured as we go up the hill? How well it will look for me to be found hand in glove, mounted and riding with his majesty’s enemles. What will my superiors, what will my Lord Sandwich say of Mr. Supervisor Craig of Port Essock, the man who prided him- self on never taking a bribe from any man, accompanied at the dead of night with law- breakers and free-traders?’’ And it was with a smoldering and furious anger in my heart that I rode off cursing fate and my own folly, and above all wish- ing that I had left in charge some one less acute and brave than young Hutchins. “He is the very man to find out all about it,”” I muttered, “and then again he may have suspected; he may know all. Davie may have sold me. Hutchins would give his ears for my place, and now is his chance.”’ And In an access of terror I actually set spurs to my beast and rode away ahead of the others. But in the wake of Martin Sim- clair’s lumbering gray there came another rider upon a Galloway pony as active as a goat. “Keep to the right, to the right,”’ erled a soft voice over my shoulder, “‘these kegs are going to the peat stack of Barulleon."’ “ ~ + eo os - _ In the morning light, when the east was just reddening, we two came again beneath the Fell of Barulleon. I was still gloomy and angry. But the acuteness of my fear and remorse had passed away. Hutchins would have to wait a while for my place. But how could I ever with a clear con- science make a capture again? Would not the very jingle of the chains tn the Duch- man’s Hole and the memory of the peat stack of Barulleon rise before me to shame me? ‘ “Stow them securely,” sald a voice in my ear, when I stood once more in lee of the peat stack. “‘Them that seek ken were to hide. I will be with you In a thrice.” I was heaping the last fragments of péat in a natural manner over the eight kegs of good Hollands when I heard again the light, quick footstep and a little mocking laugh that thrilled me to the heart. I looked round and there in the first sun- beams of the morning stood Chairile Sin- clair, no longer the slender-limbed stripling whom I had vaguely discerned in the dark- ness of the night, but arrayed in a gown of maidenly gray and with a silken snood about her comely head. Her cheek was fresh, as though like the Aurora she had now arisen from a bed of rosy clouds, and like that tricksome maid had brought with’ her a merry mischief in the sparkle of her eyes. “Good morning to you, Mr. Supervisor,” she said, “what is the matter—you do not look happy?’’ “I have shamed myself for your sake,” I said, gloomily, avoiding her challenge and looking away from her into the red eye of the sun. She came a little nearer me with a roguish grace. She pretended to pick at her ° apron with a kind of mock modesty, which afier all, was natural enough to her. “Methinks I know of one or twe that would take it not amiss to be disgraced.” “What do you mean?’ I said, gazing straight at her. It was now her turn to look at the sun pushing up through the red hearth bars of the easterly clouds. “You are the man who prided himself on never having taken a bribe, I have heard them say’ She spoke musingly. “Yes,” I answered proudly, “that I can say with a clear conscience. Matthew Craig has never yet taken a bribe and he never will. No one has ever even dared to offer him one.” She lifted her face to mine, witchingty, the lips a little pouted and cherry red “Then what do you call this?” she said, almost {n a whisper.

Then we atlach them to a long bamboo cane, Which is subsequently used as a rammer to push the tood down the snake's throat. Then the fun begins. Usually the snakes are not alone in their cages. There are generally two or three pythons or anacondas in each cage. One OL the principal probiems consists in get- ting one snake out and feeding it without arousing the anger of the others. Mr. puyder cautiously opens the door at the back of the snake's cage and enters. In his hands he carries a tew short blan- kets. The first thing he does is to throw blankeis over the heads of the snakes which are not to be fed. As soon as a blanket is thrown over the head of a snake he remains quiet. Were this not done the snakes would rise up and enfoid the intruder in their powerful colls, crushing him to death.

The only un- der circumstances is to re- treat. however. he blan thing to do before {| those beat Besides being able to kill a man with their coils, pythons and anacondas are able to give terrible bites. They are not poisonous snakes, of course; but they have a way.of biting which is almost as bad as poisoning in its effects. The teeth and jaws of these large snakes @re weil developed and they catch hold of one in a very remarkable way. When they have fastened their teeth in a man’s hand or arm they shut their mouths very tightly. Their held is like that of a vise. Without opening their mouths they sud- denly pull back with all the strength of their powerful neck muscles. Usually the man’s flesh is torn away as one would rend an old rag. When the blanket has been thrown over the head of the snake we intend feeding it is quickly seized by the neck just back of the head and its body ts pulled about four feet out of its coll. This has to be done with great rapidity. There is just a second when the snake is dazed and offers no resistance. Of this moment advantage has to be taken. If there should be any delay the python or anaconda begins to work his great folds of muscle In an effort to envelop the man. Should one or two colls get about the man’s body his Hfe would not be worth two cents. The muscles constrict so rapidly and so strongly that the man’s bones would begin cracking in no time. When the head has been pulled out a little way another man seizes a part of the snake about four feet further along the body. The body of the snake is then dragged outside the cage. Immediately four or five men throw themselves upen various portions of the snake and hold down the coils, straight- them out as much as possibic at the time. At tires it takes 15 men to hold a strong ancko. When the snake ts angry even more men may be required. The enake has to be held out straight and no “kinks’ can be aliowed in the body. ening tuiNne Great Boz man Wi if the bam begins oOo SticI Pus hing whatev: the meal the puts in the snake's mouth and down the string it is that is to be fed.

When the meal had been pushed down about one-feurth of the snake's length the bumboo cane was withdrawn and the rabbits or guinea pigs are left to their fate. Now comes one of the most trying parts of the whole operation. It is very difficult to make the keep its food down. Snakes can easily eject anything from their stomach They begin by opening their mouths and then coil their bodies in such a way that the food ts forced back up along the throat. Our effrts are at this point concentrated upon trying to keep the snake from get ting rid of its meal. Every kink has to be fought against The men, with their muscles straining at every point, hold down the snake they see that the meal has got down so far that it can no longer be brought back.

This effect of making it give up its idea of eject- ing the meal, The snake ts then bat¢k In the cage and is suppiled with a tank of warm water Into this it crawls in an injured sert of fashion; but it soon forgets its troubles and lapses into a species of coma while digesting its enforced meal.

Scientists the world over are deeply in- terestéd in the recently discovered wall. From time to time vague rumors have coms from the wilds of southwest Mississippi, near Brandywine, that rains and floods, in washing away the accumulated loam of stone quarried and dressed by some prehis- toric race. Gov. Longino has sent a sam- ple of the stone to the Smithsonian Institu- tion, and !{f the scientists report it good for ages, had brought to view ii Copiah and (laiborne counties a buried wall made of rectangular sandstone “blocks and _ built with a mathematical nicety that showed considerable constructive sskil!. There are no quarries in that part of the state, and the settlers, when in need of material for chimneys or foundations, begai to draw up- on the supply in the buried wall. Only recently, however, has there been any detailed or official effort to discover the scientific {importance of the wall. Then Col. Louis J. Dupre of Haziehurst, with Capt. T. B. Birdsong and 8. 8S. Stanres, vis- ited the scene. They reported that the wall, evidently buflt ages age ages ago, is broad enough on the top for a two-horse wagon to be driven over and yet leave plenty of room to spare.

At this point thé wall is about 15 feet high and about I4 feet wide at the bottom. The sandstone blocks at the top of the wall are rather nore regular than at the bottom. That the wall has been buried many, many centuries is evidenced by the fact that along its top scrub oaks and giant yeilow pines grew. In one place visited by Col. Dupre and party the wall entered a hill that stands about 200 feet high. On the other side of “ie hill the wall is exposed.

Beginning with a single band in Lexington, the sect has grown until there are about 25 churches in central Kentucky alone, and ‘‘Roxy,’’ who as mother elder is also missionary general for the state, is adding converts daily. ‘Roxy’ Turner, the ebony priestess of this strange sect, is a rather squat, fat, or- dinary negro woman, not more than 5 feet 4 inches in height, weighing nearly 300 pounds. She does not know her age. ‘‘Roxy”’ received no education, or says she received none, and claims to have obtained the pow- er of reading after she ‘‘saw the face of the Lawd and got the power from the Most High.’’ She lives the life of any other negro wo- man of the poor class in Kentucky—the sa- loonist, the barber and the race horse negro compose the swell set in Kentucky—and un- til her duties as missionary for the state took her away from home constantly she took in washing and aided her husband in making the living for the family and keeping up the little two-room cottage on Race street. “I ain’t got no ’membrance, chile, of eg- zactly how many faith bands they is in Kin- tucky, but thar mus’ be as many as twenty- five er thirty, 'cause we is addin’ to ’em ev'ry day.
