From a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent, JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 5.—Gov. phens and Gov.-elect Dockery have held | another joint session which dealt mainlv with the subject of gubernatorial -appoint- ments. . Asked if his seccnd meeting with the Present. chief executive had-any significance Mr. Dockery winked in his. customary way and said: ‘‘None whatever’ “Isn't it a fact, Mr. Dockery, that Gov. Stephens des | ? lres you to retain others. of arrangements in hand, hig appointees besides President Hawes and the St. Louis police board and Jack Starke, warden of the penitentiary? Again thé governor-elect’s face broad- _s®@ned with a smile. “I do not care to talk about my conver- sations with Gov. Stephens. This much, however, I will say, and that is. I am not going to be tied down by anybody. It makes no difference who the person may be I shall not make any promises to him as to what I may do inthe matter of appoint- ments until after my tnauguration.”’ It is not unlikely that Gov. Stephens will hasten to carry out his threat by making | a selection, contrary to Gov.-elect Dock- | ery’s wishes, for ‘the position of railroad and Warehouse commissioner. The governor announced Dispatch correspondent that death at St. Louis Joseph P. Herrington. who was elected railroad and warehouse commissioner, had taken the oath of office. The fact was known to but a few of the governor's friends, and that he decided to make it his trump card with Mr. Dockery, to foree the latter into acquiescence with his wishes now seems certain. That Gov. Stephens did so‘inform his successor today also certain. Not alone would the governor care for his St. Louis police commissioners and peniten- tiary warden, but he wants Mr. Dockery to to the rotain Kd T.

He is intellligent and knows the geography of the world better than the average well- informed person. Here is his story in his own words: “My father was a Hottentot and my mother a Kaffir. The Hottentots were vir- tually slaves until 1844. when they were freed by the British. The Boers had held them in subjection. While my sympathies are with the Boers in their struggle, the negro people of South Africa feel that their hope. to become enlightened rests with British supremacy. At the age of 14 years, I tended cattle for a Boer farmer named Kari Schultz. [ got many a whipping with a stout rope for letting the cattle stray. I worked on ostrich farms for a while after I got some education at King Williams’ Town.

CHUGHT GANG: OF COUNTERFEITERS They Have Made Coins Out of Pure Silver, _—~-- —-— ~~ EIGHT MEN WERE -CAPTURED OPERATED TWO PLANTS ON EAST SIDE IN NEW YORK CITY. ' | Work of Secret Service Officers Almost Spoiled by a Blundering Policeman Who Pounded on the Deor and Then Went Away. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—For. at least two months the secret service people have | been at wdrk to discover the makers of a number of all-silver counterfeit coins, mostly quarters and halves, which were be- ing freely circulated in New York City. Last night and today officials of the secret service of the treasury department, under Chief Wilkies’ direction, arrested Pio Paris and seven companions, all Italians. The fact that large numbers of these all- silver were being freely cir- large counterfeits | culated in New York, during the last two) years, has given Chief Wilkie a great deal of trouble. The coins being of almost pure silver, 900 fine, and fairly well made, they readily passed wherever presented and ren- dered extremely difficult the task of lo- eating the makers and passers. The arrest came about in this way: An Indiscretion Gave the Clew. Some time ago two Italians called on Messrs. Platt & Co., of Gold street, New | York, dealers in sheet silver and gold, and purchased a thousand ounces of sheet sil- ver. One of the men. was observed at the time of the purchase to compare one of the sheets with a.coin which he took from his pocket, The ¢circeumstanee was made KkKnowh to the secret service officials. The men took only part of their purchase with them. After a time they again ap- peared and took away another small quan- (ty, to Ill Mangin street, on the WNast side of New York. From there they were shadowed to 9% Watt street, on the West Side. Detectives shadowed them, with the result that their lodging places were dis- covered and the fact established beyond doubt that at both of. these numbers the work was being carried on Yesterday morning one of the roomers in the Mangin street house became suspic- ious that the men on the floor below were doing some sort of crooked work and he at once notitied a policeman on that beat of his suspicions, which fact came hear rendering ineffective all the work that had been dane. e Almost Spoiled by Policeman’s Blunder. The policeman; not Knowing that the au- thorities were watching the ,house, went to the door and pounded for admittance: He wus not answéred and went away. One of the gang who had been watching from the netx street corner ut once went to the house, notified the gang otf the suspicious circumstances, and all precipitately filed lo the Watt street place carrying with them many of their dies, coins and bDianks. The secret service officials, reaiizing the danger of further delay, immediately forced an entrance into both houses, where tbey fcund several of the men, eight in all, al work.

It seemed that as soon as the policeman had given the alarm the counterfeiters began to file iWway the faces of their dies to prevent them from being used as evidence. Chief Wilkie said today that this gang probably “was responsible for at least ws) per cent ef all the silver counterfeits which have been in circulation in New York dur- ing the last two vears.

WIFE’S FRIEND IN SCHOOLDAYS BECAME CHUMMY WITH BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE. After Both Had Disappeared a Letter Came Telling the Story and the Deserted Wife Found Several Hundred Love Letters. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—George Emmons Wentworth and Miss Louisa Ackerman have eloped and in consequence, Went- worth’s wife and Miss Ackerman's relatives are in great distress. Miss Ackérman is a remarkably pretty young woman, petite ani demure. Went- worth is a young lawyer, who has had fair share of success and has encouraglig “vice has been extended to the place, but spects. Miss Ackerman is a little more than 23 years old, out her pink and white babyish complexion makes her look less than 158. She is a daughter of the late George Acker- man, who Was president of ‘the Tenth Na- tional Bank. Her uncle, W. K. Ackerman, was once presicent of the [llinois Centra! Ratiroad Co., and the auditor of the Chi- cago World's Fair. er schoolday chum was Miss Bessie Wells, through whom she became acquaint- ed with Bessie’s sister, Miss Jennie Wells. The ris remained on terms of warm friend ship after Wentworth became en- seged to Miss Jennie Wells, whom he mar- ri five After t ogee AO. e wedding Wentworth, like his wife, was quite a chum of Miss Ackerman, but not a bit of suspicion came to the wife. A few days ago Miss Ackerman left her home and later telegraphed that she would not home until next day. Instead of home she sent a col o letter saying she and Wentworth had eloped. The deserted fe awoke to a realization that some- thing was wrong about this time and found several hundred love letters that her hus- band had received. No one doubts that Miss Ackerman's trunk will reveal an an- swer to each of them. Judge Klein Orders Attorney Murphy to Surrender Records.

Possible That Others May Have Been Rescued, but No More Boats Have Come Ashore From the Wreck. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.—The steamer | Taqud, which left this city yesterday after- neon for San Pedro with a cargo of gen- eral merchandise, was wrecked some time last night on Duxbury reef, just outside the Golden Gate, and all on board, with the single exception of Chief Engineer Burrill, who was washed ashore on an overturned boat after being in the water 24 hours, are believed to have nerished. Details are meager, but it is known that there were between 50 and 40 persons on board the ill-fated vessel The laqua sailed from days ago for San Pedro yesterday land some soon as that duty had been Capt. Basch put to sea again. Hiow the disaster occurred is not known, but there was a heavy swell on the outside last night and it is probable that the un- fortunate vessel, drifting too near the reefs in the haze that overspread the waters, was thrown on the rocks by the swell. Sheisa total loss. Chief Engineer Burrill reached the shore and telephoned to William G. Mugan, rep- resentative of Dolbear & Carson, agents of the vessel in this city, saying the steamer was in distress and asking for assistance. Tugs at once started for the scene of the disaster. The facts were communicated to Mr. Dol- bear early this morning, but they could give no further particulars. Mr. Dolbear owned one-eighth of the vessel and the other sev- en-elghths were owned by the Humboldt Shingle Manufacturing Association, by whom she was loaded. Mr. Dolbear sald the steamer was on her way to this port, but in this he is evidently mistaken, as the records of the Merchants’ Exchange show that she cleared for San Pedro at 4:40 yes- terday afternoon. : How the engineer got ashore neither Mr. Dolbear nor any one else seems to know. Burrill probably was too excited to give details. At 2 o'clock this morning it was reported from Point Reyes that the vessel had gone to pleces, and as no more boats came ashore the presumption is that the 30 or 40 persons known to have been on board were drowned. It is of course possible that other boats may have landed their passengers at some point where it was not possible to communi- cate with the city quickly, and it also pos- sible that rescuing tugs may have arrived in time to pick them up. Eureka several and put in here passengers. AS attended to, to Kinealy has made repeated attempts to get them from the circuit clerk. WOMEN TO FIGHT FIRE.

Nine of the Highest Officers of the As. sociation Attend Conference in Hope of Forcing Settlement of, Texas Telephone Strike. : At the Hotel Moser, behind closed doors, the executive board of the International As- sociation of Electrical Workers is holding an important session. The nine highest officials of the organization are in attend- ance, They are T. H. Wheeler of Cleveland, O., president; H. W. Sherman of Rochester, N. Y., grand. secretary: P. H. Wissinger Rochester, N. Y., grand secretary, and the £ix vice-presidents, in their respective rank, namely, R. P. Gale, San Francisco: F. J. Sheehan, Hartford, Conn.; R. R. Tripp, Houston, Tex.:'F. H. Russell, Baltimore: Fr. J. Roth, Atchison, Kan., and J. H. Mo- loney, Chicago. Immediately afier going into executive session Saturday morning, the board took up the strike of Texas telephone linemen. This strike began early in November. It is against the Southwestern Telephone Co., an auxiliary in Texas of the Bell Telephone Co. Asa result not more than half the tel- ephones in San Antonio are now in use. There was a riot there on Thanksgiving Day, in which a policeman named Lacey was killed. The strike is for higher wages and recognition of the union. Treasurer Wissinger said to the Post-Dis- patch Saturday afternoon: “We have a number of matters to discuss. including the Texas strike. will say we have dalready discussed that at some length since arriving here. Whether or not a general strike all over the country will be declared against the Bell Telephone Co., of cours@ I would not like to say per- sonally and I don't think any other indi- vidual member of the board would. The Texas strike is still on, though, and we still have funds in the treasury. We will be in session two or three days.”’ Vice-President Tripp came here direct from San Antonio, where he has been en- gaged in conducting the strike. There is to be a meeting of the Texas Federation of Labor on Jan. 14, and it is possible that the entire executive board may return to Texas with Mr. Tripp and meet jointly with the Federation.

Pattonville, Mo., may find itself de- drivep of railroad facilities if the action now contemplated by the St. Louis, St. Charles & Western Raiffoad Co. is taken. It is proposed by the management to change the route to St. Charles. The new line would pass through Bridgeton instead of Pattonville, as heretofore. It was reported that the ehange was due to differences arising between the manage- ment of the roads and its patrons over charges recently imposed by the company on packages carried by passengers. J. D. Houseman, manager of the road, denied this. He said that the people of Pattonville were opposed to a higher rate of fare, while the residents of Bridgeton had offered to submit to 10-cent charge if the company would run its line through their town. They ulso agree to abolish the ticket system, and to furnish rights-of-way. He said it was a mere matter of business with'the company.

Rural free delivery is meeting with opposition from an un- expected quarter. Merchants in the smaller towns complain that since the postal department instituted the new service farmers instead of coming to town every other day or so now come but once a week. The loss of trade is said to be considerable. Such opposition is very short-sighted.. An improvement in public service which helps onc class is sure to help all others. If the farmers are benefited by the rural free delivery they wili have more money to spend and their trade will be larger. more regular and certain. The little spendings which now Seem desirable to the small merchant will be enlarged by the farmers’ prosperity. Rural free delivery is one of the great amellorations.

The open sessions of the Chicago Woman's Club are a great success. Last time the ladies discussed the ‘failing conversational powers of men.” ; The general conclusion secmed to be that women were al- moet all good talkers, though one member expressed the be- Wef that no woman could talk well on a subject until she had studied it at least twenty years. This, however, was a mere freak of opinion and was so treated. ; The reason men cannot talk well is, that women talk too well. They know their conversational powers and don't hes!i- tate to “bulldoze”’ any poor devil of a man who tries to get in a word edgeways. The result is that he is reduced to si- lence and develops his powers as a listener. The conclusion of the Chicago Woman's Club ts interest- ing. They may be something in it. But not all talk is con- vereation and a flow of words is not always a flow of ideas. Men who have something to say commonly get a chance to gay it and the-same maybe observed of women. The art of conversation is the finest wf all fine arte, and the first step towards the understanding and practice of it, is to seize the distinction between the gift of speech and the gift of gab. -—- -——--—_ ©0@ The formation of a flour trust is not likely to increase the price of farms. —+*o—- HAPPY PRIZE BABY.

A correspondent takes exceptiog to the Post-Dispatch’s dis- tinction between private mercantile or manufacturing corpo- rations and quasi public corporations enjoying public mo- nopolles. It is true that the private corporation receives a privilege in the shape of certain exemptions from personal] lability, but there is nothing exclusive in this. Under the general law any individual or tirm can at will become incorporated and obtain all the advantages of such exemptions. As a matter of fact nearly all business is now carried on by corporations, not because of any exclusive privilege inhering in the corpo- rate form, but because business can be transacted more con- veniently by a corporation than by an individual or firm. No monopoly is possessed by such corporations. On the other hand, a railway or gas company performs a public function by reason of a franchise granted by the state. The franchise is a monopoly and its entire value depends up- on its exclusive character. It Is this franchise value which ought to be taxed. It is preperty, recognized as such in the law, and should bear its equitable share of the burden of pub- lic expense. " P If Smith and Jones incorporate and engage in business aa retail jewelers can they prevent Robinson and Brown on the other side of the street from doing likewise? But if Smith and Jones incorporate as a street railway ¢ompany and ob- tain a franchise to occupy the streets of St. Louis with tracks and cars, Robinson and Brown could not hope to compete with them. There is room in the streets for just one line and no more. The distinction is clear. Friends of equitable taxation must not be confused. Nobody proposes any special favor for pri- vate corporations, which should be taxed on their property. But quasi public corporations possess, besides their tangible capital,.an immense store of value in their franchises and these also should be taxed. Berlin is to experiment with Providence, St. Louls and Hunter fenders for street cars. Why doesn’t St. Louis ex- periment with car fenders? Hardly any make can be more useless than those now on some of our street cars. 3 sannsihintiiiescanissiiaaa aie The Dutch Parliament is right in doubting whether Queen Wilhelmina’s husband will be worth £16,000 a year to Hol- land.

A curtain was suddenly thrust aside and an officer, dragging a young man after him, entered the hall. The youth, who was of striking beauty, was clad in a simple robe of silk, girdled at the waist with a silver belt. When before Tche-Tang he humbly prostrated himself at his feet. “Son of Heaven,” said the officer at a sign from the viceroy, ‘‘this young man, by his own statement, is but an obscure citi- zen, called Tse-i-la, and yet, heedless of the Slow Death, he asserts that he has been sent upon a mission to your highness by the immortal Poussahs.” ‘“Speak,”’ said Tche-Tang. Tse-i-la rose to his feet. ‘“‘Mightiness,” he said in a calm and even voice, “I am fully aware of the fate which awaits me, if cannot prove my words. Last night, by means of a vision, the Poussahs singled me out for their es- pecial favor and intrusted me with a secret almost beyond the coneession of mortal mind. If your highness will deign to listen to it, you will at once recognize its divine source, for the knowledge of it will awake in your being a new sense.

Several tried to smile and assume an air of contemptuous disdain, but the effort was bevond them, and, instead, they grew pale and trembled. All this Tche-Tang was quick to notice. At last, one of the princes, doubtless to conceal his own uneasiness, cried out: “We are listening to a driveling fool who is drunk with opium!” Then the mandcarins spoke, in an effort to reassure themselves. “The Ponssahs grant their itinspliration only to the most aged and wisest of the bonzes!’’ And one of the ministers: ‘It is for us to decidé, and at once, wheth- er the secret, ef which this young man claims he is’ possessed, is worthy of being submitted to our ruler.”’ To which an officer, in his anger, added: “In all likelihood this fellow has his dag- ger ready to strike our master at the mo- ment when his eyes—— by a general ee whose d you, wou “ |erous thought. - known as one whom change your whole a one who has lea some & Again, you who are nowreee elty, allow me to live!

FINANCES ARE BOLSTERED UP ENABLED TO REMAIN IN CONTROL OF ST. LOUIS CLUB. Deals With Eastern Capitalists ie Reported Off and Plans for This Season’s Work Are Well Under Way. ~ Speeial to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 5.—Frank DeHaas Robison will receive a portion of the money he claims has long been due him by the Consolidated Street Railway Co. of this city. It is believed that he has affected a compromise with the company and is to get $400,000. The.directors of the company met recent- ly and increased the capital stock to §$1,- 400,000. It was stated that $1,000,000 of the amount was'‘to be applied in payment of the expense in new equipment and im- provements. The remaining $400,000 was to GO towards the discharge of the company's obligation to Mr. Robison. It will be remembered that Mr. Robison eu his former associates for an account- ing, claiming that the balance due him was more than $1,000,000. When Vice-President Emery of the Con- solidated Co. was seen early this morning in regard to the compromise he said there was no truth in the statement. He said the case is still pending in the courts alv that the company did not intend to com- promise. Despite Mr. Emery’s denial the story ts believed by all lof Mr. Robinson's friends Mr. Robinson has been confident for some time that a settlement would be made in the near future. The money will come in handy to him and will enable him to dea) in base- ball again on a large scale. St. Louisans interested in basebal!, and especially those who have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Robison, will be poo to hear that he is again on a sound financial footing. Baseball had a very bad time of it in St. Louis last season and consequently the League club, of which Mr. Robison ts president, did not enjoy a good financial ear. *When the players were not paid in full at the end of the season there were many ru- mors that the club would change hands and that the Robisons would retire from the game. It was thought by many that new ‘ magnates would surely take charge when that the done ever was mortgaged a few months a few days ago it was reported obisons were considering offers for their stock and that eastern capitalists would be in control at League Park next BeaRon. The news from Cleveland wil! settle, for the time being at least, who will preside at League Park this year. It is good news, too, insomuch a& the Robisons have always i possible to give St. Louis all. the club later. Onl xood base ‘ ; From what can be learned, Karl Wag- ner and his brother, the former Washing- ton, D. C., magnates, were dickering for the &t. Louis Club. They. denied it, but t is second nature for the National League 1o deny everything. But St. Loulsans would much rather have the Robisons in control of the St. Louis Club than the Wagners. The Wagners had the National WLeague franchise tin Washington, D. C., for years, but never succeeded in placing anything but a tall- end team in the field. They never tried very hard to get anything better than a losing team. Like Von der Ahe, when they had an opportunity to dispose of a soot player, they always did so, but they never purchased any. With the Robisons it is just the opposite. They have always tried hard to secure a ~~ t-winning team. Their club in Cleve- ana al ers. On pionship Baltimore club. St. Louls, the Robisons have spent a for- tune besides much of their time to get ogether a winning team. hey failed, but it was not their fault. Frank De Haas Robison spent $15,000 to bring McGraw and Robison to St. Louls. ‘He spent about $10,000 more to secure Dono- van, Keister and McGann. It was a team of stars that Robison gathered together last year. Although the club did not win the ont or even finish in a good position St it divided honors with the cham- played some very fast ball in spots, and Loulsans were treated to better games ‘than have been played here in years. With a replenished exchequer it is almost eertain that Mr. Robison will leave nothing in his way towards giving St. Louis a pen- t winner this vear. It is not so much a usiness proposition with him as it is a Pleasure to control a winning team. . Bither nk de Haas Robison or his brother, M. Stanley. will come to St. Louis next week and commence work for next season s team. Alihouch thev have not stat- el as to whom the managerial reins will be ve. it is almost a certainty that Pat Povan will secure the position. The name of the manager will be given out next week.
