The Woman Lost Her Life in an En- _ deavor to Rescue the Child / * ~ That Perished With Her. PITTSBURG, Dec. 6.—Two persons were burned to death and seven injured in a fire at Carnegie, Pa., this morning. The dead are: MRS, SARAH KLEE, aged 43. Y KLEE, aged 9. The injured are: SBamuel Klee, aged 50; Ida Klee, aged 20; Anna Klee, aged 17; Rachel Klee, ag-d 14, Eva Klee, aged 10; Jennie Klee, aged 6, and Harry Kliee. aged 4. he Kijee residence is a two-story frame house on Broadway, the ground floor front being devoted to a grocery store kept by Klee and the rest of the house being oc- cupied by the family. he fire was discovered about 4:40 o'clock this morning by the grocery clerk, Morris Fizis. He immediately gave the alarm, but the flames spread so rapidly that the occupants of the upper story were shut ovoif from the stairway, and Klee and his wife realized that there was but one way to save the children and that was to throw them = the window, a distance of about 2 et. One by one the children ,were brought to the front window and dropped to the und-by the father. All of them were njured, but all escaped death from the flames, except Mary. By the time Harry, the baby. was reached, not only was the father exhausted with the exertions and the terrible condi- tions under which he worked, but the flames were fast making his efforts im- ssible. When he was able to get at arry, it was found that the fire had already reached him and that the little one’s face and feet and hands were blistered and burned. He was snatched from the flames just in time, and it is thought that he will survive. After rescuing his baby, the father looked around for his wife, whom he had missed from his side for some time. Unable tv locate her, he called to those whom he had saved for the purpose of ascertaining if she had joined them. She had not, and the Wusband became almost distracted with fear and panic. It seems, however, that «While the father was rescuing the youngest and most helpless child, she was making an attempt to save the life of Mary, anid in doing so gave up her own life. The house was entirely destroyed. The charred remains of the mother and daughter were found in the ruins side by side. Both had been overcome by the smoxe before they could escape from the room. When the firemen arrived the father re- fused to leave the building without his wife and child and the firemen were compelled to forcibly carry him from the burning building. Cold, Raw Weather.

HOW TOBE.... Well Dressed Elsie D:Wolfe, Best Dressed Actress in America, Advises Shopgirls What to Wear. IV. The Shopgirl. On many accounts the shopgirl has about the hardest task of all in selecting her wardrobe. But of all business women she may be the most economical. Of course, extreme simplicity must be the keynote of what she wears. And I want to make clear one point: When I say shop- girl I mean any woman in a shop, whether she be cashgirl, saleswoman or head of a milinery department,~ though: I know by including the heads of departments I am giving some pretty direct criticism. Because you know you are a gentlewomen that is no reason why you should dress for a woman's club meeting or a luncheon or a reception when you go to your daily work. A shirtwaist and a short skirt for the shopgirl—that is the inviolable rule. best-dressed.shopgirl is the one who con- forms to this rule most rigidly. If she has money to spend let her ex it in having her skirts well cut, her s waists well made and her coats well fit- ting. Let her spend it on freshly laundered ties and little cambric turned-back cuffs and on her pe ane But in daylight hours let her bar sil and satins. Best Dréssed Shopgirl. I know a little girl in a certain shop who wears this winter a gray-black skirt of rough material, just clearing the floor; a black leather belt, and a shirtwaist of black cashmere, which I happen to know was made from a last winter's skirt, and tucked .all over so the piecing would not show. Her collar is a bit of white satin ribbon, which she washes twice a week at night and dries by stretching in her hands. On the street she wears a little ready- made coat matching her skirt and a hat that cost $4—a black hat. She varies the collar by wearing other colors, or soft ties. Her whole winter outfit has not cost her $20, and yet she is really the best dressed shopgirl I know. Her gown and hat are always well brushed, her gloves carefully end mended and her shees blackened.

LOUIS FIGHT. WENNEKER’S NAME MENTIONED It Is Said That Roosevelt Feels That a Compromise Is the Best So- lution of the Problem. Special to the Post-Diepetch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The fight of the Missouri factions is assuming-a new phase. a compromise nominee for the position of surveyor of the port of St. Louis, and will turn down the candidates of both fac- tions. He not only discussed the proba- bility of a compromise nominee as a s0- lution of the problem with members of the Kerens faction, who called on him, but with others. The name mentioned as the man most likely to be benefited by this compromise is Mr. Charlies F. Wenneker, former col- lector of internal revenue, and former city collector, It is known that one of the most influen- tial men in the anti-Kerens factions will oppose Mr. Wenneker, with a candidate of his own in the person of Mr. Gallenkamp, but it is belleved here if the President de- send in the name of Mr. Wenneker. And any shopgirl could look as well on just as little mcrey. j Outside the shop she will need a single | silk waist for theaters and an organaie evening gown. It is a mistake, I believe, for any young girl to have no evening grown, however simple it may be. Because the girl who tries to go to a party in a black skirt and silk waist will not have a good time—and she ought not to expect it. It isn't a girl's nature, Pretty Hats of Tulle. If she would like another hat for evening it is the greatest pity if she is not clever enough to shape one for herself from tulle on a cheap white crown. Tulle is the easiest material in the world to make into fetching little hats, and if they are handled right they are extremely effective. Put a cluster of violets on the brim—and there’s your hat!. Now a word about shopgiris and silk skirts: Don't have one. They are useless lux- uries and very short-lived ones. They last only a few weeks if they are much worn, and only a little time anyway. ; Of course you will not wear them at your work. And you do not need them outside. You would far better spend the $10 on your skirt and coat. Another word about shopgirls and open- work stockings: Don't have those, either. You know I assume that you cannot af- ford $1.50 lisle thread ones, because if vou could you would certainly not be working in a shop. 50-cent open-work ones displayed so tempt- ingly in the shup windows, and done, I am bound to admit, in very pretty patterns. Won’t Wear; Don’t Buy Them. They will not wear, and the 35 and 50- cent solidly black stockings, not open-work will wear. Those are what you ought to have. Don't have cheap finery, and cheap open-work stockings are one of the cheap- est forms of this vice. Of course, you know a veil, though one is floating frem quite every head on the street, does rather give a certain air to your costume that no.hing else can lend. The loose veil fashion is an extremely pretly and artistic one, and becoming to nearly every one. Only don’t get one of a special color with- out a reason for that color. For instance, don’t get a blue or brown one if there is no corresponding not of blue or brown in your gown or hat. A black one or a white one spotted in black or white is most serviceable. The black, of ¢ourse, is most economical, but the white chiffon veils wash very well, if they are dried by stretching them and pin- ning them on a pillow. FOUND HIS MONEY IN OLO SHOE Alfred Scholz Reported Supposed Burg- lary Before Recalling Where He - ‘Had Placed $260. Alfred Scholz of 1414 Farrar street found in an old shoe $260 which he thought had been taken from under his pillows by bur- | glars. Mr. Scholz is employed in a North SB8t. Louis chair factory. He uses one pair of shoes going to and from the factory and another while at work. Mr. Scholz does Riot believe in banks. He has other methods of keeping his money which he considers superior. His confidence in these home-grown meth- ods was rudely shaken Tuesday when he was unable to find his savings, amounting to $260. He was sure he had hidden them safely in his sleeping apartment, but the roll was not under the pillow. Nor was it elsewhere in the room. Scholz called in Monrotus and explained that burglars must have entered the house while the family was out and escaped with the money through a rear door. Scholz ‘“‘laid off’’ Wednesday and put in his time in a fruitless search for the bur- glar and his spoils. Thursday he returned to work, and on changing shoes in the factory found the missing greenbacks in one of his working shoes. He had placed the roll there for safety and forgotten it. BURGLARS LOOT A SALOON. Take $49 and Gold Watch at William Sewing’s Place—Three Arrested. Burglars entered the saloon of William Sewing, 2324 North Broadway, early Friday morning and took $49 from the cash regis- ter. A gold watch which was in the drawer of the register was not molested. ij The thieves made their entrance through a transom, cilmbing over a door opening on North Market street. Three men were arrested later in the morning and are held on suspicion of con- nection with the robbery. Sergt. Maher ar- rested William Kamp and Henry Haver at Kamp’s home, 1912 North Eleventh street. A check bearing the name of Mr. Sewing was found in Kamp’s possession. Policeman Sale arrested Gus Elstrodt of 2518 North Broadway, who, he says, has loitered about the saloon. JAMES COX'S WILL PROBATED. Late Secretary of Business Men’s League Leaves All to Widow.

HUY Justice Robertson, Who Procured the Divorce for Her, Performs the Wedding Ceremony. Within 24 hours Mrs. Charles Huy of 4430A North Nineteenth street became a divorcee and a bride. She was married Thursday evening to Chatles Huy of Cherokee, Cal. The ceremony was performed by John C. Robertson, justice of the peace, at the home of the bride. ; Justice Robertson officated as*Mrs. Huy’s attorney Wednesday in divorce proceedings against her former husband, George E. Michael. The divorce suit was based on charges of non-support and abandonment. It was not contested, and Judge Spencer granted the decree by default. Mr. Huy, who arrived from California Friday, was one of the plaintiff's wit- nesses. Soon as the legal separation was an- nounced, Mrs. Huy nudged her mother and whispered that she intended to be married again. ‘Well, I hope not for a while,’’ Mrs. Hil- dredth is reported to have sald. ( Mr. Huy was then presented. ‘‘We have been friends a long time,’ said the daughter, ‘and I want you to ask Judge Robcrtson if it will be alf right for us to marry now.”’ Mrs. Hildrcth did as requested. Justice Robertson told the couple that if they would secure the license he would dv the rest. The judge accompanied them to the house and, one by one, the neighbors, who had begun to suspect what was going to take place, hurried to the Hildreth resi- dence, Mr. Huy is 30 years old and has a pros- erous business in California, where he met is bride. Afitter the wedding Thursday evening they went to the theater. They will depart for y peed future home in California in a few ays. ‘“‘My daughter,’’ said Mrs. Hildreth to the Post-Dispatch, “‘treated me to a surprise, but I guess she knows her own mind and, a reason, I readily gave my con- sent. “She was on a visit to California a few years ago. I suppose she met Mr. Huy there then, but she told me nothing of the courtship. ‘When her former husband did not con- tribute anything to her support she was obliged to earn her own living. Judge Robertson's friends twitted him Friday about the marriage which was cred- ited to his ingenuity. ‘“T had nothing to do with it,” he said, “except to give my advice. *‘As an attorney I had a right to suggest that the proper thing for the young folk to do if they wanted to be married was to get a license. “Then they de¢ided that as long as I had prosecuted the divorce suit I was equally competent as a justice of the peace to de- clare them one. was a dual role I = ed, but I am always glad to unite two oving hearts.”’ 4 —_— peng 5 = SEPT Re ee iy we Ena i ae 4 , WS Ry SN at ah - Sp taeet se ae, fe $ 4 Es Rs DA ETI al ALE TI IE EE RNR AME IA ELE SOLIS LOL Ai EI NI RIL Gy IIL TREE AEN OP TERE BE I ; hs ty - 2 ; ; oy 4 . 4 3 %, 3 yy ‘ , ‘ ; ce thas MEE? ed a wal, ——— | “We Introduce the New Fashions” 3 attached to The ordinary turn-over collar is Republic Building varsil?

She brings along her baby, a little girl of 3 years, because she is a widow and has no one to leave the child with. The baby brings her own lunch in a paper package, and her mother does her best to keep the child from bothering any one. Last Wednesday the two came as usual. The baby has become more or less ac- quainted with Mrs. W., and at first sight of the lady she said: “I want somethin’.’”” In vain her mother tried to silence her, but the child persisted in “‘wantin’ somethin’.’ The mother apologized, as she saw prepara- tions being made to give the baby ‘“‘some- thin’,”’ and said that the child's lunch had been prepared as usual, but had been for- gotten and left lying on the table at home. “She ain't hungry; I know she ain't,”’ she protested. “We had a nice breakfast this morning. Why, we had coffee, and—and—” She started in a hurry to attend to some- thing that did not need attention and never finished. Their breakfast had been coffee and dry bread, perhaps, certainly something she did not care to mention. It is to just this sort of little children, babies whose breakfast is often not even “coffee and—" that the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival will give on the ~g 4 Christmas day a good, full meal, just e other folks are having in homes that are warm and cosy and fragrant with good things to eat, and that ring with the joyous laughter of happy children.

It is within reason to be- lieve that there are men in St. Loufs, now well-to-do, with happy, well cared for chil- dren of their own, who as boys were both cold and hungry, neglected and sometimes abused.

W. Wilcox of Granite City was stabbed in the side from a «:nife in the hands of Thomas Webb, also of Granite City, én a street opposite the courthouse in Edwardsville Wednesday evening. The cut- ting was due to a damage suit Wilcox hed brought against Webb in the Circuit Court. Webb met Wilcox in company with friends. He called Wilcox to one side, stating he wished to speak to him. Wilcox excused himself to the group in which he was in conversation and went over to where Webb was standing. Wilcox was placing his ear to Webb in a listenag attitude when Webb, it is alleged, thrusc a knife into Wilcox’'s hip. In the excitement Webb made his es- cape. The wound was dressed and Wilcox returned home Thursday night. Wilcox claims he will enter a suit against Webb on a charge of assault with intent to kill.

Scruggs, Murray Caricton, John Morton and another person whose name has not been made public.

All have been released rg WHAT GOES UP ‘ Must Come Down. Nothing is more certain than that the use of so-called tonics, stimulants and medicines, which depend upon alcohol for their effect, is injurious to health in the long run. What goes up must come down and the elevation of spirits, the temporary exhilaration resulting from a dose of medicine containing alcohol, will certain- -. ly be followed in a few hours by a corre- sponding depression to relieve which another dose must be taken. In other words, many liquid patent medicines derive their effect entirely from the alcohol they contain. Alcohol, and medicines. containing it, are temporary stimulants and not in any se a true tonic. In fact, it is doubtful any medicine or drug is a real tonic. A true tonic is something which will renew, replenish, build up the exhausted nervous system and wasted tissues of the body, something that will enrich the blood and endow it with the proper pro- portions of red and white corpuscles, - which prevent or destroy disease germs. This is what a real tonic should do and mo drug or alcoholic stimulant will do it. The only true tonic in nature is whole- some food, thoroughly digested. particle of nervous energy, every minute fiber and drop of blood is cre- ated daily from the food. we digest. ¢ mere eating of food has little to do with the repair of waste tissuc, but the perfect digestion of the foodg eaten everything to do with it. reason so few people have perfect Le gag is because from wrong habits of living the stomach has gradually lost ‘the power t secrete the gastric juice, tones and acids in sufficient quantity. ~*~.

Did he say in the presence of his persecutors: ‘Fa- ther, cast them into eternal darkness without hope?’ No. But, raising his eyes to heaven, he uttered the divine words that will live throughout eter- nity: ‘Father, forgiye them; they know not what they do.’ ” oS Sp + ° * SESSSS > @ «,° “+ > a *, a > oo o 7 © “> > > * *, POSSESSES SSS OS OS OS 9H O9 SO 0 O99 “ I SS dl Frank James’ play, ‘‘Across the Desert,” would have been prohibited at Canton, O. Tuesday night, if Mayor Robertson had heeded the protests of several Canton min- isters, including Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, su- porcasendent of the reform bureau of Vashington. According to information received by a St. Louis friend of Frank James, resolu- tions were adopted at meetings of the Young Men’s Christian Association, mem- bers of the First Presbyterian and First Methodist churches of Canton on Sunday last denouncing Frank James and calling upon the authorities to suppress his show. Among other things these relotions set forth that boys have been instigated to lives of crime by stories glorifying success- ful train robbers @nd that to give the stamp of authority to Mr. James’ performance would simply tend to diffuse this false sentiment. In the resolutions James was referred to as a notorious outlaw. A committee of five, headed by Dr. Crafts, was appointed to wait on the mayor. After taking the question under consideration Mayor Rob- ertson made this reply: “I called upon the manager of the — house this morning and he told me that, Frank James takes the part of a repentant sinner, and from my investigation I hold that the play will not interfere with state laws, as there ig Sptaeng | obnoxious about it as far as Mr. James is concerned. The Show is much like ‘Arizona,’ a story of western life, and Mr. James appears but ome oe the stage, and then in a frock oat. The resolutions seemingly proved a good ‘“‘ad”’ for the show, as Mr. 5 was greet- ed Tuesday evening by one of the largest audiences that ever attended a perform- ance in Canton. James Defends His Rights. At the conclusion of the performance, Mr. James stepped to the front of the stage and delivered these remarks: It seems to me that I am entitled to all the privileges accruing under the law of the commonwealth from the fact that I have been vindicated in both state and fed- eral courts and have proved myself to be “In regard to the resolutions presented to Mayor Robertson asking that I be not permitted to appear in the theater here tonight, I think they are in very bad taste to Say the least. Should all the people of the United States be of the same opinion resolutions, there would pe no avenue left open to me for support, and those men who framed that article, claiming to be Christians, make it impossible for me to understand how they can conceive it to be their duty to persecute the unfortunate. “It appears to me that ideal Christian than tear it down. I have done the very the day the tocsin of war sounded in 1861 up to the present hour, and so far as the play I appear in tonight, there is nothing in it to offend the most fastidious. It teaches a moral lesson and proves that jus- tice always triumphs. “IT had hoped that after the lapse of anyone,”’ THINK HIM A NOTED FORGER Description of S. EB. Glaser, Now at Four Courts, Tallies With That of Joseph Ulmann. Sigfried E. Glaser, as his name appears on the Four Courts biotter, is believed to be Joseph Ulmann of New York, one of the most notorious forgers in the United States. Glaser was captured by Sergt. Maloney Thursday, and was locked up on the charge of passing a worthless check for $100 on Mrs. Louisa Bennett, who conducis a boarding house at 2718 Wash street. He was identified by Cora L.

FORMER SOLDIER SENTENCED. Robert Lewis Must Serve Two Years for Trying to Kill Girl. Robert Lewis, who fought in the Spanish- American war, was convicted Thursday of assault with intent to kill, and was sen- tenced to serve two years in the peniten- tiary. On August 8 Lewis attempted to kill Ma- bel Tebbits of 90 North neteenth street and to commit suicide. He failed in both at- tempts. He shot the woman twice and him- self once, then stabbed her six times with a butcher knife arid cut his own throat. Then he pursued a policeman who at- tempted to interfere and the policeman had to fire on him in self-defense. In spit of their numerous wounds, both man an woman recovered. PHILIPPINE TOBACCO DEAL.

IDENTIFICATION -NOT MADE Wilcox, the Suitor, Who Is Held in $1000 Bond, Is Kept Under Close Surveillance. Special to the Post-Dispateh. DLIZABETH CITY, N. C., Dee, 6.—Three fishermen, who have just arrived from a trip up the Pasquotank river, report that the body of a woman has been washcd ashore at Sand Hills, a place about six miles east of here, on the north shore of the river. The spot is a very lonely one, If the body has been washed ashore at that point it is regarded as almost certain that it is that of Nell Cropsey, who so my5- teriously disappeared on Nov. 20. An iden- tification party has started there. A young man who has long been a visi- tor at the Cropsey home told the commit- tee of five today that about six months ago Nell told him while in a fit of des- pondency that she would be ‘“‘found miss- ing’ one of these days. He said also that she several times declared that she' would rather aes in the north, where most of her friends were. The most intimate friend of young Wil- cox in town said to the committee that he believed that Nell was alive and would be found sooner or later unharmed. The committee is still examining persons knowing any of the circumstances of t case. oth friends and enemics of Jim Wilcox, her suitor, were examin but nothing definite was elicited. Wilcox, who is under $1000 bail, has gone to his father’s farm, about eight miles from here, but he is kept under surveillance. ———ap —-- — = WHAT’S IN A NAME? Depends upon*the name.

The men are bricklayers and were work- ing on the brick work of the Osceola street sewer at a point between California and Oregon avenues, The accident occurred while they were finishing the brick arch of a section of the sewer and this arch saved their lives.

In addition to these, 31 colored persons wére more or less seriously injured, one or ' two perhaps fatally. The southbound train is the fast mail out of St. Louis, and was in charge of Engineer Campbell. Orders were given to pass No. 14 at Malvern, and it is supposed he mistook @ freight standing on the gs | at Malvern for the train he was to pass. He thus kept on his way south at the regular rate of speed. Two miles from the city, and just as the train had reached good headway, a headlight appeared in the distance, No. 14 ‘Was coming up the track making up a little lost time, to reach the passing at Malvern without delay. When it was seen that there was a mis- take, both engineers cut off the steam, ap- plied the brakes and jumped from the en- gines. The firemen also amped. and all es- caped injury, except Campbell, whose shoul- der blade was broken..

SOUTH M’ALESTER, I. T., Dec. 6— Judge Sanborn of the federal court deliv- erad a decision today that condemns the red man to perpetual and everlasting thirst. When the news of the disaster gets about among the Indians a wail will go up that shall awaken the echoes in New Hampshire. The court decides that once a ward of the nation, an Indian is forever a ward, and that no matter what may happen it shall always be a crime, to sell whisky to him. After the Indian territory is allotted and the Indians become citizens and voters they are still, according to the decisian, wards of the government, and as such liquor cannot be sold to them. Vhile a largespart of the West has long disturbed itself, in insisting for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, the noble red brother has cried aloud only for a free and unlimited circulation of firewater. The silver matter is still insensible, and now that the star of empire must take its way westward, unaccompani by the dis- tillery, the brewery and other certain marks of civiligation, there is much sorrow everywhere except in religious circles. ? eee he, ae 4 pie a Sg, oa ee ee ae At the Grand-Leader ! 19¢ for Boys’ Tool Chests. 19¢ for 10-in.

It is a temptation to commit deadly assault whenever rows occur in the cars, which is unfortunately entirely too frequent in the transit cars. The controllers should be fixed on thc motor and locked when the motorman leaves the car, or changes from one end to the other. A simple device would ac- complish this end. But an end should be put to the violence on the cars by the company. If a passenger mi:behaves a police- man should be called. Not in any case should any empoye of the company be permitted to use force except when unavoidable for self-defense.

With the interest now shown in ‘the Kohinoor, in view of its possible appear- ance in Queen Alexandra's crown at the coronation of King Edward, there are many misstatements made regarding 4 world-famed jewel, chief of which is that it is the largest diamond in the world, in reality it occupies fifth position. The Em-\ press of Russia is believed to be the pos- sessor of the largest. The Florentine dia- mond of the Emperor of Austria is also larger than the Kohinoor. Orleans diamond and the Star of the (found in Brazil) are generally acknowl- edged to come before,the British gem. After the annexation of the Punjab in 1849 the Kohinoor was given up. to the British, and at a meeting of the Punjab board was handed to ohn (afterwara Lord) Lawrence, who placed it In his waist- coat pocket and forgot the treasure. Whil at a public meeting some time later he sud- denly remembered it, hurried home and in- quired of his servant if he had seen a small] box which had been left in his waistcoat pocket. ‘Yes, sahib,"’ the man replied: ‘1 found it and put it in one of your draw- ers.”’ ‘“‘Bring it here,’’ said Lawrence. The servant produced it. “Now,” said his master, ‘‘open it and see what it contains.’ The old native obeyed, and after removing the folds of linen he said: “There is noth- ing here, sahib, but a bit of glass.’’ ‘‘Good,”’ said Lawrence, with a sigh of relief, ‘‘you can leave it with me.”’ During the stormy days of the French revolution the regalias were put under the charge of the Paris commune and lodg.d in the Garde Meuble, whence one night they were stolen. The thieves were never discovered, but an anonymous letter in- formed the commune that one or two ar- ticles would be found in a certain ditch. This proved true arf among the objects re. covered was the famous Pitt or Regent diamond. This stone was found in India in 1701 by a slave, who, to conceal it, made a wound in his leg and wrapped the dia- mond in the bandages. Reaching the coast he intrusted himself and his secret to an English captain, who thereupon threw the slave overboard and sold the stone to a native merchant for 00. It afterward assed into the hands of Pitt, governor of st. George, who sold it in 1717 to the Duke of Orleans, then regent of nce, for CLEVER LITTLE STORIES.

BE. WRAY. ’ Ups and downs in the sporting world are Many—especially the downs. Of sudden rises none has been more spectacular than that of Young Corbett, who rose from noth- ing to a champion’s laurels in one day. Of meteoric descerits none is more conspicuous | than that of Amos Rusie who, from being ' at one time the most-talked of man in the world of baseball, with a salary in :he thou- sands, is now delving in the earth, a comi- mon digger of holes, for a laborer's pit- tance of $1.50 a day. For his downfall Rusie has no one but himeelf to blame. He was obstinate at a time when he should have showed diplo- macy, and intemperate, to make matters worse. Like Corbett, he rose from nothing _ to a high place, but vertigo attacked him there. His condition today tells the depth of the precipice he stumbled over. John T. Brush gave him a last chance during the season closed, but there was nothing left of the once brilliant pitcher. Young Corbett will do well to profit by the lesson pointed by the “horrible exam- ple.” From $1.50 a day to the revenues of a champion is a laudable stride, but the reverse step is easily taken. Corbett, however, seems made of differ- ent stuff, and it is of different stuff surely that he who would continue. champion must be. Young Corbett is a unique figure in the pugilistic realm. He positively refuses to turn down his old friends, the men who stood by him when he wag nothing but an over-night fighter with scarcely the where witha! to clcthe his little sisters. Corbett says that he will stand or fall with his old-time manager, Johnny Cor- bett, who has scavenged for him in past years, trained him, instructed him and se- cured dates for him. They rode home from defeats in the same box car and more than once went hungry together. And now Corbett, when it is up to him to get a fashionable manager, who wears a high hat and a short coat, and can wiggle attractively several carats of diamonds, says, ‘“‘No, Corbett is good enough for me.” And who knows? Perhaps after ali it may be a mistake to suppose that one must necessarily shake his old friends when pros- perity comes, and that Corbett may profit more with his present manager than with @ new one. At least there will be charged to ‘‘expense.”’ AMERICAN OFFICIALS HERE. President Johnson of the American League, and Matthew Killilea, president of the St. Louis baseball club, were in the city yesterday for a space and visited Atnictic Park. They also vjsited Mr. Bunn, who handles real estate, and paid him three months rental for the new home of tne American League team here. At Athletic Park the magnates surveyed what is expected to be the scene of future triumphs and poked the ground in several places to mark possibly advantage positions of st@nds for the accommodation of ex- pected but stiil visionary multitudes. Mr. Johnson is not at all worried by the fact that 12 feet will be removed from the north end of his location by the improve- ments to Sullivan avenue. The addition of the two pieces of prop- erty to the south of the present park limits will extend the Iimits of the grounds amply. When Messrs. Johnson and Killilea had gloated sufficiently they boarded trains for Chicago and Texas respectively. Satisfied that the new club is on a firm footing, they will leave matters in charge of an agent, who will make his appearance shortly. JOHNSON SUCCESSFUL. “Mr. Johnson has proven himself a general par excellence. While he has not been al- together consistent he has been what most people will consider better still—successfui. He has outschemed and outmaneuvered the National League foxes and has beaten experienced leaders at their own game. He has shoved himself and his league into a position beside the National organ- ization and is menacing the tenue of the latter. He has built up weak teams from material drawn largely from the ranks of the enemy and has generally fattened the American's prospects at the expense of the foe. ‘Mr. Johnson, realizing the importance of St. Louls as a baseball city, has drawn the fangs of the National League team here by securing its best players. Around these as a nucleus, he is building a club that promises to be fighting for the pen- nant a few months later. If St. Louis has a champion team next geason it will be in the American League and not in the National and to Mr. John- son's astuteness that fact will be largely no diamonds ue. St. Louis is called a rabidly National It can be said that it was ' first as ra y an American Association city and that if the quality of baseball) of- fered né the Johnson League is deserving of it, the Mound City may be as strong.y an American League city. There is no prejudice here in favor of any League; but there is a strong one in favor of winning baseball. HARPER UNDECIDED. In cohnection with the new American League team it is still a matter of specu- lation as to the club with which Pitcher Harper is to play next season. Mr. Robison has «announced signing him long ago, and Ban Johnson has been flaunting his signature to an American @ contract. And now the question is, what is the answer? If Harper is really tied up with both Jeagues, he is agg J to pitch nowhere at all—providing both leagues adhere to thetr icy in regard to double dealing players, Scarce; hence. a valuable man can do no wrong. It seems, at least that Heidrick could not, nor Di- neen. eee _A TEXAS WONDER. ‘Hall’s Great Discovery.

A dozen will be chosen who the highest records’ make; and half of these, in turn, will go with Gotham’s cops to vie, and show them what it means to have a steady aim and eye. And so it comes, from day to day they prac- tice with the gun, to see, of all the hefty bunch, which is the handiest one; and many ae a ball that otherwise might stop a flying thief is peppered at a target, to its owner’s joy or grief. Down in the Second bailiwick, which Capt. Schroeder runs, they have a dozen cops or more who're handy with their guns, and some who couldn't hit a barn, or in the broad daylight, make a dent in Busch’s brewery, the biggest ing in sight. Here’s one that Barney Reagan tells con- cerning one of those, as it occurred, with- out a frill, in plain Missouri prose: “I pet you feefteen tollar to finnuf,’’ sald Henry Heidecker, as his bullet missed the target four feet, ‘das I peet you schootin by der dime tees bractices eesofer.”’ Could Hit Thief if Not Target. “Aw, go away back!”’ sald John Niena- ber. “‘You couldn’t hit the side of Busch’'s malt house with a beer keg!’’ “You mage me seek!”’ said Heidecker. ‘‘Dees ain’d no schootin’, nohow. Der dime to schoot ees ven you're schootin’ at a t'ief. Ven I bull down on a tilef it’s goot »ye to Sandy Claus und der whole schoot- n’ match. Das ees vas counts. Hein?’’ Both men are patrolmen in the Second District. If they can’t shoot there are oth- ers who can. * There's a big patrolman Who couldn't hit the coal man Or any other tyrant, Yet who, with Sergt. Conners, Is out for shooting honors, For fame a warm as-pi-rant. CORBETT STICKS TO MANAGER Says He Will Not Forsake “Johnny” Corbett, Who Directed Him Before Days of Prosperity. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 6—‘‘Johnny Corbett was my manager when we rode in box cars and fought for sandwiches,” said young Corbett today, ‘‘and now that we can ride in parlor cars and eat turkey every day in the week if we want to, he will continue to be my manager.” This was the featherweight champion’s answer to the question as to whether he had engaged one Frank Cullen of Denver to be his manager and would retain Johnny Corbett as a handler. “Cullen is a friend of mine, but I have not made him any offer, and do not intend to. Johnny Corbett and I have been to- gether a great many years, and I see no reason in the world why I shonld leave him now when we are enjoying a _ little prosperity.” In regard to his plans for the future Young Corbett said: “Kid Broad, they tell me, arrived in New York today and will challenge me for the featherweight championship. He will have to wait along with the others. I want to repeat that when I get ready I will go |down the line and fight them all. But I am not ready just now to make a match, ‘and I wont be for some time. | RUSIE TOILS AT $1.50 A DAY. i ' Former Pitcher at $3500 a Year La- bors on a Pipe Line. MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 6—Amos Rusie, the once fimous baseball pitcher and idol of the New York baseball enthusiasts, is a day laborer on ihe pipe line being laid here by a water company and Is receiving $1.0 a a received $2500 a year from the Na- ;| BARNEY REAGAN SAYS SOME POLICE _ 4 Secososeses soe seed AND SOME ARE NOT * KILLED THE INDIAN. In the big basement of the station at Ninth and yoming streets the patrolmen prectice when they are off duty or when t is out of their turn to go to the armory. Good records have been made by Capt. Lor- enz Schroeder, Scrgt. Conners, Sergt. Con- nolly and Patrolmen John Nicolay, Thomas Maher, Elichorn, Ed Herndon, Ed Maher, Ed McCullough ard others. Patrolman Bartey Reagan, who walks around (and sometimes into), the Anheuser- Busch brewery, says: ‘You've read that story about Deadeye Dick or some other fellow who performed that remarkable feat out West, haven't you? é “He was standing behind a big tree. waiting to get a pop at an Indian, who was hiding behind a big boulder. Neither could see the other, but each knew the other was there. Deadeye Dick, who had been a col- lege man when he was younger, and who had played billiards, figured out how he could ‘fix’ the Indian, although he couldn't see him. ; Made a Cushion Shot That Killed. *“‘“He decided +o ‘cushion’ his bullet, so as to make it do the work. He fired at a big 7 HE HIT THE ROPE INSTEAD OF DOG. rock near by, and the ball glanced off and struck another rock, and then another, and from that one bcunded off and killed the Indian. “That reminds me of the way some of these South Side coppers shoot. They d have tc make a four-sided carom to hit ~~! Agunames Couldn’t possibly do it other- wise. “Just look at John Nicolay and Tom Ma- her, for example. Every day, almost, they go down to the dump at the foot of St. eorge street and shoot at a barrel. Both of them have been peppering away at the same old tub ever since this target prac- tice commenced, and it still holds water. There’s whole rafts of 'em on the force like that—good cops, but mighty poor shots. They might win on a ‘long shot’ at the Fair Grounds, but nixee on the target.. “A few weeks ago somebody in North St. Louls had a vicious dog, and when the matter was brought into Judge Wislizenus’ court he ordered him shot. One of them North Side cops was ordered to murder the poor beast, and he tied him to a post with a rope before commencing his bloody work. He blazed away half a dozen times, and at last one of the bullets cut the rope, and away the dog flew. “That’s the way it goes. Some policemen couldn’t hit a flock of barns with a bass fiddle, and there’s a whole lot of ’em hand- ling guns who ought to be stuffing sau- sages or running a lawn mower. “Still, there are some lallapaloosas on the force, and we expect to Knock the daubin’ out of those Chicago fellows.” SHOT ALL AROUND THE BARREL. { le M’GANN WITH BALTIMORES.

Jacob Rozenzweig Would Not Permit Doctor to Be Called Because of the Expense. With nearly $600 in his house, Jacob Ros- enzweiz, an old St. Clair County hermit, refused to have a physician called to attend him because of the expense. He paid for his penury with his life. Rosenzweig had been living alone for several years in a cabin on the farm of Emil Weaver, near Mascoutah, in Engel- mann Township. He did not encourage the sociability of his neighbors and lived in almost complete isolation. A week ago he became sick. His condi- tion was discovered by neighbors. They offered to send for a doctor, but he said it would cost too much and would not per- mit one to be called. He became worse and Thursday Mr. Weaver and his two boys drove to the cabin. Mr. Weaver insisted that Rosen- zweig should be treated by a doctor at his cabin or go to Mcscoutah to see one. He finaliy consented to go, but, as he was is get ready, he fell unconscious in Mr. eaver’s arms. He expired in a few moments. Coroner McCracken deputized Georve F. Wombacher to hold the inquest. A _ ver- dict of death from natural causcs was re- turned. It was supposed by the citizcns of the neighborhood that Rosenzweig was a her- mit and had wealth concealed about the hut. Following the inquest, search wus made and in an old trunk and a wardrobe, money to the amount of $562.36 and a prom- issory note for §25 were found. Iiiis wil be turned over to the proper authorities 1.y Mr. Wombacher. Rosenzweig did not have any relatives in this country, as far as is known. POLICE CAPTURE FUGITIVES.

MATTOON, IIll., Dec. 6—‘“Love, long de- layed, makes the heart sick.” These were the last words of John Homrighous, a den- tist of this city. who has been associated with Dr. 8. A. Campbell for the past twelve years. They were uttered to Dr. J. W. Welker, an intimate friend, Wednes- day night,‘a few hours before making the most elabofate preparations to destroy himself. Because he had allowed a woman to love him for twenty years and expect marriage, a state which he deemed unsuitable be- cause of his staid reserved ways, and deeming $10,000 not a sufficient amount with which to face the future as a bene- dict, Homrighous chloroformed himself and inhaled illuminating gas in the dental par- lors in which he worked so long.

Of sedate temperament and a! lary habits, he paid but little attention to aught but his professional duties. — kor twenty years he had corresponded with a distant cousin, Miss ma Hom- righous of Ohio.

They are arranged in tiers, and the backs of the chairs in the front rows have scratched and marred the finish of every desk behind. This is caused by members pushing back their chairs to rise. The trouble probably will be reme- died by putting a strip of rubber or felt on the backs of the chairs. the sec- ond day of the session the first of the new ball-bearing mahogany chairs in the House was broken. Representative Slayden of Texas, a heavy weight, sat down and leaned back. There was a snap, and Mr. Siayden and the chair were mixed up on the floor. “Confound these new-fangled things!”’ said Slayden, as he ordered another chair. . 2 . It is estimated that admiring constituents of senators and members spent $10,000 in flowers on the opening day of Congress. Almost every senator and representative received floral ‘‘offerings.”’ Many of the members refused to take the flowers home, and they were allowed to fade and wither in the hot air of the lobby. Basket after basket of dead and drooping buds filled the lobby today. Many senators and tepresent- atives sent their flowers to the hospitals. Dozens of baskets were torn to pieces yes- terday in the women’s scramble for souve- nirs. 914% Olive st., rooms 1 and 2.

ENTERTAINED PRINCE OF WALES London Town Did Herself Proud in Welcoming Him Home From His Long Journey. LONDON, Dec. 6.—The royal visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to the city evoked demonstrations of loyalty worthy of the best traditions of the capital of the British Empire. It was the first royal visit to the city since the ascension of the King and the citizeng rose to the height of such a unique occasion. Happily, the day was not fossy. and the royal couple made the he ph ne n comfort through t © gayly decorated streets amid cheeri crowds to the Guild Hall, where the ! mayor, aldermen and county council were waiting to welcome them home from their memorable tour. The scene in the library of the Guild Hall was one of the utmost brilliancy, the bright colors of levee or diplomatic dress, which was worn by the guests, contrasting ef- fectively with the masarin wns or the councilors.

Wu's niece and adopted daughter has caused since her ar- rival at the capital a few weeks ago. The fact that she is the first young, unmarried Chinese woman of high rank to visit here explains the interest she thas excited. In bringing her to this country Mme. Wu has made a radical move—an initiative that would be impossible to anyone less ad- vanced than the wife of the Chinese min- ister, who, while she has never gained the peetecs command of English that her: hus- and has attained, has kept abreast of him in most things and is in sympathy with him in the questions of the hour. Mme. Wu comes from the Ho family of pure Chinese, not Manchurian, origin—one | of the richest, most powerful and progres- sive families in the whole of China. me. Wu has especially interested herself in the progress of the young Chinamen who have been studying at the Washington High School, and through the whole of their course has been a stimulus and inspiration. Wu Show Ching, the little lady who has recently become an inmate of the minister’s household, is small and dainty of figure, being barely five feet in height, and tipping the scales at less than a hundred pounds. She is extremely Pretty from the Oriental oint of view, and from any point of view as an arch and most winning expression, ‘ith the bittheness and gayety of youth. Like her aunt, Miss Wu has the artifcial y small feet that mark the Chinese noble- woman.

Bastian was .prominent in church and so- clal circles, but it gradvally developed that he had led a dual life. It is charged that he would refuse to pay his farm hands, and when they became insistent “it is alleged he would knock them on the head and make way with the bodies.

TEXAS’ ANTI-TRUST PERMITS Under It Purchaser May Sue and Re- cover All Payments Made tor Goods Purchased. Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 6.—The three foreign and seven domestic brewing companies, which have pleaded guilty in the district court here to the charge of violating the Texas anti-trust law and paid heavy penal- ties to the state for such violation, are con- fronted with more litigation of a. most harassing and expensive character. There is a provision in the antitrust act which gives any individual, firm or corporation which pays money to a member of a trust for its product or anything of value. the right to bring suit for the recovery of the amounts paid. This provision makes it open to every saloonkeeper in Texas to sue the brewing companies belonging to the trust for the amount which he has paid them during the past three years for beer. The first of these suits has already beén filed by a saloonkeeper at Galveston agg the Galveston oat Co. for the re- covery of $12,000, which he alleges he paid the defendant company for béer while it was in the trust. Mary other suits of a similar nature are being prepared. iS anheaieineneaiesnenenmmnememaemeetiien MEMORY FOOD.
