At the appointed time Mr. Walden and his friend were on time. But Miss Simms was tardy. Would she appear or would she fail at the last moment? Was it all a huge joke? Mr. Walden paced the office in a very agitated manner for 15 minutes, when the prospective bride § arrived with Mrs. Brooks.

Thomas Kinney made the following statement in the holdover to the Post-Dispatch Monday in behalf.of both of them: “Ryan Knows that Mike and I didn't have anything to do with the shooting. “He just brought us into this trouble to make ‘the public think that he cuts a little ice in politics up in the Fourth ward and that he is my rival. It's good advertise- ment for his saloon business to tell the public that I think I must get him out of the way to keep my standing in the ward. “But Ryan ain’t a rival to Me.

Proventure said that he did not see Gers- ‘man’s team until it was too late to stop his car. He declared that he rang his gong loudly. George 8. Blodgett of 110 South Sixth street, a witness’ of the accident, testified that he had not heard the gong. A verdict of unlawful speed was rendered by the jury, but the motorman was not held. As it was not believed that the con- ductor could throw further light on the case, Dr. Boogher did not exercise his ower of committing him to the holdover or his refusal to testify.

A LANDMARK IN HISTORY After Workmen Finish There Nayght Will Remein Save an Ancient, Gnarled Oak Tree. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PRAIRIE DI! CHIEN, Wis., Dee. 2.— Before the dawn of the first day of the new year, all that remains of historic Fort Crawford, at Priarie du Chien will have been destroyed, Already workmen are tearing away the massive old wails which long ago sheltered all who sought refuge behind them. For a century and a half they have withstood the ravages of time and the attacks of the painted Indian war- rior. Fort Crawford is a relic of long age; around its barren ruins is grouped more history than at any other place in Wiscon- fin; it is, in deed, a thing of history, ro- Mantic, bloody and priceless. Even before the pickax workmen clicked against masonry, there was but little left of the famous old fort. Barren and alone, like towering sentineis guarding its sacrec se- crets, two walls of the fort hospital re- main. The remainder of the once impos- ing series of massive builuings have been entirely destroyed; they lie in a weed- frown heap of rocky ruins, like a fallen and negiected monument of.fame. The stone walis were fast failing to decay, but the deep narrow windows and the battle- Scarred buttresses still remain. Toward the Mississippi, which flows past @ few years distant, is a gnarled and stunt- ed oak tree. it is so near the old fort that the afternoon sun sends its thin, Sharp shadown upon the barren walis. This alone will rerhain to mark the spot where at one time many of the most fa- mous soldiers of the American army fouoght. To the lover of the historic and romantic there is something cruel about the destruc- tion of the remains of old Fort Crawford. To the residents of Prairie du Chien, who for years have seen and thought little of the past of the dilapidated old walis, it is a hard, cold business proposition. They gee no reason why sentiment should re- tard the progres of their city. They can see nothing to be gained in the presence of the staring sentinels of stone. But a few rods north from the site of the fort, hidden from the caSual glance by the thick growth of rank weeds, and made more obscure by the presence of broken down fences, is the old Federal cemetery. There is no hand to strew flowers upon the graves of the heroes whose remains lie there. It is a place of mysterious sur- roundings, and is avoided and shunned. Though upon the age-worn granite tabiets the epitaphs of many whose names are inscribed in living letters upon the pages of history are carved in crude, broken letters, there is none to notice them, nor to give them a passing thought. The massive old fort proper has long since been torn down and upon its site now stands the beautiful St. Mary’s academy. Where the report of the sentry’s gun once startled the wilderness, now is heard the peaceful tones of the convent bell. Historic value has been set aside, modern progress will triumph. Soon, by the labors of the toilers who. are now directing their efforts toward destruction, the material will be eliminated and old Fort Crawford will pass into history.

Mohr is at home from Spokane, Wash., with prospects of becoming a millionaire through his ac- cidental discovery of gold in the Pierce City district. He left here last summer after working at house painting for years. One day he expressed a desire to ness the operations of a gold mine, and was escorted by a veteran miner. After the inspection the two separated, and for 36 hours Mohr wandered through forests and over mountains, lost to the world. He was in despair, hungry and thirsty, and about ready to give up, when he discovered a spring. After quenching his thirst he lay down and a giittering nugget attracted his at- tention. In ignorance of its value he cut it with his knife, and at that moment es- pied 9, man in a guich several hundred feet away. The newcomer proved to be a min- er, who jumped with joy when shown the nugret. The claim was ‘‘grub-staked’’ im- Sadia toly and the stranger accepted a one- eighth interest. Mohr again found civili- gaiion, reported the matter, and John J. Hall and BE. A. Hochwalt of Dayton made the trip to Washington to investigate. An expert made a most favorable report, and « cOmpany is being formed to develop the property. WHO WILL HOLD KING'S TRAIN?

LONDON, Dec. 23.—There is a certain amount of curiecsity to know who will be the elder sons to carry the King's irain at the coronation. They should be the elder sons of dukes, and will most probably be Lord Eustis, the elder son of the Duke of Grafton; l.ord Tavistock, son of the Duke of Bedford; Lord Percy, son of the Duke of Northum- berland; lord Dalkeith, son of the Duke of Buccleugh. and L rd Hamilton, son of the Duke of Abercorn. ese are ali of this rank at present in Iengiand, Lord Douro and Lord Tu)libur- dine being in South Africa with their regi- ‘ments.

So Se Down in the Southwest they Dave an idea that humor is a necessary antidote for the wear and tear of the strenuous life. Dep- uty United States Marshal Mike Conlon of Indian Territory is included in this cate- gory. Mike blew into St. Louis a few days ago, and Sunday got an inspiration that he was about due for a little fun. If Mike’s exe- cution of his idea had conformed to the Misscuri conception of humor he might have derived the desired amenity with none of the gall that fell to his lot. He entered a saloon at 1837 Market street with a pair of handcuffs on, and asked the bartender, Dan Devan, to remove them. Devan, with his, weather eye open for a possible reward, secretly sent the negro porter out for the police, while pretending to help the quasi ‘‘escaped prisoner.’’ Ed McNamara, who was in the- saloon, took charge of the facetious Mr. Conlon until Officer Gerk came and formally placed Michael under arrest. Here was Mike’s chance. Let ‘em all get their guns ready. The denouement was at hand: “Gents,”’ said he, ‘‘these handcuffs is a joke—and the joke’s on you—ha! ha!’’ “I give you another guess,”’ replied Gerk, “them bracelets may be a joke—but the joke stays on ‘you—till you get in the cooler anyway. know you! You're an escaped convict ”’ “Good!”" replied Mike; keep it up! It’s the best joke since my mother-in-law’’—— “Enough!” said the officer, and he —— the merry gentleman to the sta- on. There he explained matters to Capt. Reynolds, at the Central district station, but Reynolds couldn’t see the ‘“‘point’” in the joke. Michael was now very nervous. He had visions of Sunday dinner, consisting of rye bread and cold sausage—mostly rye bread—when he had counted on a shoulder of mutton. He tumbled the contents out of about fifteen pockets, and finally pro- duced credentials, proving him a federal officer. goxking is another thin off on New Year’s day. he will swear e was released.

It is said the amount taken from the safe was not large. PHOTOGRAPH TRUST FORMED. Anthony & Scovill Co. Absorb Several Big Concerns. ALBANY, N.

Special to the Post-Dispetch. CLAYTON, N. J., Dec. 23.—Many persons in this city believe that the spirit of Peter Cartwright has been reincarnated in the per- son of the Rev. Eli Gifford, pastor of the methodist Church here. He has thrown Clayton into a fervor of religious excite- ment; strong men-are daily moved by his passionate appeals until they shake and tremble with ague; women scream and chil- dren have been thrown into convulsions at his meetings. Men and women prostrate themselves nightly before the altar. With- in ten days more than 200 persons have, for the first time, professed their belief in Christianity. On Sunday morning 128 men, women and children were received into the church on probation. Last night a man who resisted the ap- peais of friends who urged him. to go for- ward was stricken with temporary par- alysis. He was carried to his home, but the service was not interrupted. The oc- currence created so deep an impression that nearly a score of hesitating ones went to the altar, amid the most pro- found demonstrations of religious frenzy. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Loper, the singing evangelists, have assisted the modern Cart- wright in his great work. They have col- lected a large number of the most impres- sive hymns, stirring in both music and words, and their singing is characterized by the deepest religious fervor and an ele- ment of the dramatic, which has been 80 remarkably effective. Christmas Shopping Was Forgotten. Christmas shopping has been forgotten in Clayton. Money savéd for presents has been donated to religious work. A mortgage of $2800 which was placed on the church property when the edifice was erected about three age ago has been entirely paid off and the property is free from debt. The city streets are deserted after the first church bell rings in the evening. In order to secure good seats men and women stand in line from 6 o’clock untii the church doors are opened at 7:30. Farmers drive to the city from distances of 15 and 20 miles, bringing their entire families to the nightly meetings. Although fully 1000 persons may be crowded into the building there has not been standing room during the past week, and scores of persons have been turned away or stood in the entry or under the windows during the services. The Rev. Mr. Gifford and Mr. and Mrs. Loper spend several hours daily visiting the sick of the city and surrounding coun- try. Song and prayer services are held in the sick-rooms, and it is said that there is not an invalid in the city or for miles around who has not accepted the teachings of the Gospel. The ag | saloon in Clayton is in the ho- tel, two doors from the Methodist Charch. J. Plum, the proprietor, formerly of Gloucester during its palmy days, has an- nounced that he will sell no liquor after 10 o’clock at night and that no one can buy enough drinks across the bar to make him drunk. Last Saturday night several men were in Mr. Plum’s saloon at the clos- ing hour and one insisted on remaining in the place after 10 o'clock. Saloonkeeper Refuses Money, “I have $15 here which I want to spend,” he told the proprietor, producing at the same time a considerable roll of bills. “Go home and give it to your wife,” Mr. Plum replied. “She don’t need it,’’ the man answered, “Then give it to the church, and do some good with it,’’ was the final reply. Mr. Pium said today that every customer among the entire list of his patrons has attended the revival meetings, and that many of those who were not professing Christians have been converted. He has himself announced that he will make a lib- eral donation to the church. It has not been decided just how many days or weeks the meetings will be con- tinued, but Mr. Gifford has said that they will ‘‘continue so long as there is an un- saved soul in Clayton or the country for twenty miles around.” j The clergyman and his evangelistic aides believe that their work has been especially blessed by divine will, that every one in the city and vicinity must and will be reached. Italian Art. Italy has long been conceded the center of art. Not only is this true as to painting and sculpture, but to that which is highest in «carved furniture. Contemporaneous with, this period was the famous Flemish furniture carvings. Reproductions of these artistic ideas can now be found at Scarritt- Comstock’s. Their buyer, while abroad a year ago, made selections which were ex- ecuted and forwarded and the articles found such ready sale that they were re- ordered and an exquisite assortment is now on exhibition. Particularly appro- priate are these imported pieces for fts. Because so relatively low in price, they have been most popular and critically ad- mired. A feature of this display are the illuminated Venetian figures with lighting attachments, especially suitable for hall- ways and dens. Before the large windows of Scarritt- Comstock, Broadway and Locust, is a con- stant crowd of admiring people to whom these articles are mostly unknown. PATIENTS IN GLASS HOUSES. Philadelphia’s Pauper Consumptives to Have Novel Treatment. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.—Dr. John V. Shoemaker, president of the municipal de- partment of charities and correction, has persuaded the finance committee of the city council to appropriate $380,000 with waich Dr. Shoemaker expects to build eight one- story glasshouses on a tract of land ad- jcining the almshouse, “Ravages of tuberculosis among the city people,’ said Dr. Shoemaker today, “render it necessary to take speedy measures. “Living 4 a group of old buildings are more than 600 persons in various stages of consumption, and the death rate is appall- ing. To remedy this condition I have planned to build eight pavilions, frame work of steel beams and the walls and roof f giass. ; “ “The 600 patients will be divided amozpg the pavilions, according to the stage of the disease. Practical isolation for each person will be effected by a system of ventilatior énd the constant generation of ogone fn the pavilions. There will be static electric bat- teries in all the pavilions.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Notwithstand- ing his reported denial that he has any in- tention of resigning, it is stated on good authority that John D. Long, secretary of the navy, will almost immediately follow, if he does not actually precede, Secretary Gage, in retiring from the cabinet. Sec- retary Long has given the President a ver- bal notification of his intention. he almost positive statement is made that the new secretary of the navy will be an Ohio man. There is a strong intimation that William H. Taft, civil governor of the Philippines, will be given the position. | A story is current in. Washington that Secretary Long will retire from the cab- inet partly because of a feeling of antip- athy entertained by some es of the cabinet toward Mrs. ng. This feeling ,has gradually been déveloping and has now reached a point where an exceeding- ly unpleasant situation ig created. According to the story; a distinct move- ‘ment has been started among the cabinet ladies to boycott the Longs. It cannot be predicted to what extent this will be car- Tied or how many supporters it will have, but a painful, if not crucial stage, has already been reached, The Longs Have Never Entertained. Some ladies of the cabinet, prominent among them Mrs. Root, wife of the secre- tary of war, have frequently expressed in- dignation because the ngs refrained from official entertainment. he allegation is made that during the nearly five years of Secretary Long’s service no dinner to the President and cabinet has ever been given, although all invitations have been accepted by the Longs. The excuse has always been that Mrs. Long is an invalid, although the ey ladies declare she is in splendid ealth. This winter Mrs. Root started a move- ment, according to the whispered story, which would bring the matter to a crisis. She wrote a letter to Mrs. Long saying the ladies of the cabinet were each contributing for a present to the Roosevelts and ask- ing if Mrs. Long would contribute. Mrs. Long replied that she and the secre- tary would give an individual present and woes aes join oe cnet ladies.

Another letter was written by Mrs. Root to Mrs. Long, in which she suggested that as yr 4 were in mourning for their daugh- tery they probably would not care to ac- cept any invitations. No reply to this letter has been received, it is said. The movement to boycott the 4 was y then started. This was to be done not inviting them to the dinners given by the other members of the cabinet to their as- sociates.

STRANGE PLANT PUZZLES ALL. Both Carnations and Roses Grow on a Single Bush. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Florists all over the country are mystified by a curious flower that may be seen growing in the hot-houses of Herman Schultz, on Eigh- teenth avenue, Bath Beach. It is a plant with roses and carnations growing together side by side. The plant is about two feet high and just beginning to throw out flowers. In many respects it resembles a rose- bush and the roses are white. From the same trunk twigs branch out together, one bearing roses and the other white car- nations. r. Schultz, who, it is said, was formerly head gardener in the hot- houses for the present Emperor of Ger- many is at a loss to account for the strange freak he possesses, and says the plant came to him a short time ago with a lot of other rose bushes, and it sur- vived the same as the rest. Expert florists have examined this strange flower and are at a loss to’ account for the origin of the two flowers growing to- gether, and simply say it is a freak of na- ture.

Four ballots were necessary to decide the contest in favor of August Priesterbach, representing the United Brewery Workers’ Union, and Miss Tennert, who is 18 years old, received so many votes that a hurried canvass on the outside was necessary to bring in delegates.

Among the Christmas sentiments sent the Sunday Post-D!s- patch is the following from Mr. John Wanamaker, ex-post- master-general: “The Christmas season, as a social institution, quite apart from its religious significance, tends to promote the sentiment of brotherhood of man. Its customs and observances soften ‘and ameliorate the artificial distinctions of life, and stimulate the benevolent instincts. The week usually devoted to this festival is a period when charity and its components of toleration, for- giveness and a sense of recognition for benefits received, as we!l as sympathy for the misfortunes of others, unite men in kindly fellow feeling suggestive of a future social condition when the Christmas spirit shall be a continuing and a lasting duty.” Mr. Wanamaker expresses the Christmas idea perfectly. Of course, the important consideration is the spirit of kindness. That is the goal of progress—a state in which every act shall be @ sacrament, a service dedicated to the human race, in which the desire to do mutual service shall be the spontaneous motive of all. Meanwhile the ceremonies of Christmas are useful in suggest- ing this spirit. No man can for long practice the forms of kind- hess without to some degree imbibing the spirit. Therein is the reason of all ceremony and form. Christmas is, as Mr. Wanamaker points out, “a type and har- binger of what the world ought to be.”” When the spirit fills the form in all cases then the ideal will be realized. The British gencrals have just as bad an opinion of the Boers as has Gen. Chaffee of the Filipinos. — a INVISIBLE BONDS OF UNION. It is interesting to speculate on the possibilities of the ner wireless telegraph and telephone inventions, either through the atmosphere or through the earth, which have recently given such promise of unbounded success. This success means, among other things, that the explorer in Aretic regions or elsewhere need no longer be cut off from his fellows for months or years. The people in a besieged city will be in constant and easy communication with their friends. on the outside. In mining accidents, the entombed miners can report their whereabouts and condition to their rescuers. Vessels at sea will keep up their daily intercourse with the land and with sister ships. Especially in case of fog, storm or threatened wreck, the new method of communicating will save life and prevent suffering. But it is in the ordinary course of life thag the greatest benefits will be obtained. Monopoly and high prices will not be possible when every man may erect his own wireless telegraph mast, fly his own kite or stick in his own ground telephone peg. All this will make living easier, more secure and more pleasant. It should make us more civilized, more neighborly and more Sympathetic. It will be an invisible but real bond of union of all the inhabitants of the earth. There can be no doubt about the Americanism of the Boonville, Mo., farmer who refused to sell his mules at a g00d price when he learned that they were wanted for service against the Boers. = = —_ PEACE-MAKER’S PRIZE. Americans who are blessed with a passion for work coupled with enthusiasm for humanity can also keep an eye on the “main chance’’ by COmpeting for one of the peace-maker's prizes offered annually by Alfred Nobel, the German manufacturer of explosives. For 1901 the prizes have been awarded. The peace-makers’ prize, amounting to $40,200, was divided between two old men— Frederick Passey, the blind secretary of the Universal Peace (on- gress, and Dr. Henri Dumont, a poor Swiss physician. Both these men have been exceedingly active in promoting the interests of peace in Europe and the world at large. ' Here is an opportunity for Americans which should be eagerly seized. The desire for peace is as widespread here as elsewhere. The white-winged spirit has as ardent disciples here as in Bu- rope. In advising them to become competitors for the Nobel prize, which is open to everyone, it. must be borne in mind that the competition cannot be on a selfish plane. To win the prize one must do actual work. The greater the number of competitors, the nearer shall we be to that era of universal good fellowship among the nations for which every lover of peace is constantly praying. opinion of the Schley court of inquiry, but popular opinion can- not be nmiuzzied. . CONSUMERS’ LEAGUES. An attempt is making to throw discredit upon what are known as consumers’ leagues by classing them with trusts and predict- ing an “irrepressible conflict’’ because we are all producers as well as consumers. As Prof. J. 8. Brooks of Harvard stated before the Economic Club, the work of these leagues is definite as well as philan- thropic. It has resulted in several cities in ‘Summate creator of situations;’’ spectors, and their work is on legal lines. . The work is apparently in the interest of producers and con- sumers generally who are protected from goods produced in filthy, fever-stricken haunts by diseased and reckless pauper labor. St. Louis might well have a consumers’ league ° As @ general rule, our factory managers and merchants are fair in their treatment of employes. But there may be room for im- provement of which they are not aware. Only eternal vigilance can prevent the eyils that creep into our complicated industrial system. An organization of this character would complement the work of the charitable bodies and might accomplish much good for citizens in general. As the Transit compan pends postal cards to those whose prop- cae ; n the Sunday erty is left on their cars, Mr. Maxwell's suggestion ! Post-Dispatch, that every one taking a package or pocketbook oF other article with them when they get on a car should put their address on it, is important. The Transit company may well be thanked for its care of lost articles. = = CENSURING OUR HEROES. Not since the fabled free mouse baited the caged lion has there been so extraordinary a spectacle as that presented in the censuring of Admirals Dewey and Schley and Gen. Miles by Elihu Root. Mr. Root is a corporation and trust lawyer who was appointed to the head of the war department solely for political reasons. He is absolutely without any military or naval training OF ¢X- perience. He never “set a squadron in the field’’ nor saw one on the water, Yet he has the colossal impudence to reprimand Gen. Miles, the hero of a hundred battles, for expressing his wil- lingness to accept the judgment of Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila, that Admiral Schley was in actual command at the battle of Santiaguvu and was the hero of that affair. Thus with one sweeping censure does this knight of the quill condemn three of the bravest, most experienced and most suc: cessful fighters on land and sea that this nation has ever pro- duced. | That this reprimand was made “by direction of the President” adds neither to its propriety nor its justice. It simply adds the opinion of an amateur in war to the sophistications of a lawyer in condemning the action and the judgment of three veteran commanders. The administration has not only condemned Admiral Schley t¢ martyrdom, but has as€ociated in his martyrdom the highest and most distinguished officer in the navy and the highest and most distinguished officer in the army. The navy department has subjected Schiey, the hero of Santiago, to the extremest hu- miliation and condemnation and Dewey, the hero of Manila, to censure for trying to do him justice, while the President and the secretary of war have humiliated Lieutenant-General Miles for ‘‘indiscretion’’ in saying a word in behalf of Admiral Schisy. Thus three American heroes, whose fame is beyond the reach of envy or detraction, have been discredited and kicked by the administration in order that one hero may be deprived utterly of the credit that is due him. — The righting of this wrong may safely be left to history and that sense of justice which is iftherent In the enlightened people of the United States. —— — a> a “If, four years @go,"’ says Congressman McCall of Massachu- Setts, speaking of our Philippine oppressions and absurdities, “a writer of burlesque opera had put these things in a play, he would have stood apart and alone in his profession as the con- Never in our history have we elapsing since the been so unamerican as in the short time Spanish war. oo ———____ —__ —— CHRISTMAS INFLUENCE. It must be the wish of all who feel the genial and beneficent influence of the Christmas spirit that it should continue through- out the year. That spirit of good will wh:ch is causing men to help their less furtunate fellows; which is bringing comfort and good cheer into desolate hearis—what if it should outlast the Christmas season and go with us through the months that fol- low? It will. No gocd influence felt by humahity is lost. No good done is thrown away. In so far as we feel the joy of living in an atmosphere of humane sentiment now, we shall be inspired to perform our duties and take advantage of our privileges to heip those who need it all through the months when no special Stimulus is present. The great thing is to allow ourselves. to feel the Christmas glow. We cannot afford to be off SéPowes, cursing the seagon and its demands. It méans more to us than a week or two of open hands and open hearts. It is an opportunity for humanity to show its best side. And such opportunities cannot be passed by without harm to him who ignores them. Christmas is the high tide of the year. But it will only help us as we use it. _———_ -—_ & eo The most notable national event of Christmas week this year will be the launching of the battleship Missouri. Proud as we may be of our great new warship, we may well wish that she may never have an opportunity for the exhibition ef her tetrible powers in anything more than the ordinary maneuvering incident to naval training in times of peace. We might as well accuse the hunted fox of treachery and de- ception as to charge the Filipino with duplicity and dissimula- tion. Let us imagine ourselves in his place and consider what we should be tempted to do. The American is not the only human being who loves his country and will make any sacrifice for it. >= SS = a id With the rector of the University of Berlin warning the United States that too much learning is unprofitable, Mr. Carnegie may turn the tide of his beneficence in a more practical direction. There are certainly a great many péople in the United States who need to be taught how to make an honest living. Every winter there is a fresh realization of our clumsy and filthy methods of obtaining heat. The handling of coal and ashes during a@ severe cold season is an immense undertaking, consuming time that ought to be devoted to ether things. Everything possible should be done to hasten the fuel-oil era. —— = = The Philippine commission reports “Insurrection” in five Phil- ippine provinces. This is an astonishing condition, considering all that the commission has done to persuade the islanders that foreign domination is necessary to their moral advancement and eternal salvation. = = = If “a 50 per cent reduction in the tariff on Philippine imports into the United States would increase our trade by leaps and bounds,” why not give Our ‘‘domestic. territory” a chance? If it is to put money fm our pockets to grant common justice, why should it not be granted? “The Christmas tree ought td be abolished,” says J. Sterling Morton, becauec “it is a wanton waste of lumber and timber.” Possibly Christmas might be as joyous without the destruction of trees. No lessons in waste should be taught on any holiday.

While the Santa Claus myth has long been associated" with the festivities of Christmas, his ally speaking the saint whose name ha "become synonymous for Christmas giving had absolutely no connec. tion with the anniversary itself, Santa Claus being the corruption of St. Nicholas, who was a bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor, during the fourth century. St. Nicholas was a man who was as widely known for his generosity and char- acter as for his piety, and there are many pretty legends that show him to have the friend and protector of the young. Ac- cording to one story, the saint discovered that a man was about to commit a great crime in order that he might provide suit- able dowries for his three porvoniess daughters. Instantly the good bishop was seized by an overpowering feeling of pity for the unfortunate man and the unhappy maidens, and that night, stealing up to ine house, he threw a well-filled purse into the father’s room. The next night he repeated tne action, but the third night, when ‘he threw the purse for the third daugater, tne father, who had been awaiting tne coming of his mysterious benefactor, recognized him and commenced to overwhelm him witn expressions of gratitude. She saint, how- ever, insisted that he desired no thanks and also forbade the man to tell anyone about the _ or their donor—a _ stipulation, which, apparently, was not heeded. it was by such good deeds and generous acts that St. Nicholas exhibited his care and affection for children, and when he died, on Dev. 6, 43 A. D., he was not only made their patron saint, but thereafter, in remembrance. of the three purses of gold, arents celebrated the eve of St. Nicholas’ ay by secretly givin little ones, denying al ifts, which were supposed to have been eft by this unseen friend of all good chil- dren. For some reason—and the reason is one that can only be surmised—this cus- tom was eventually transferred from St. Nicholas’ Day, on c. 6, to Dec. 25, and the good bishop in his white robe, with miter and septer became the jolly Christ- mas saint whose stout figure, so warmly ciad in furs from top to toe, and jovial fave with white hair and beard, has been the dearest of familiar figures to*children since the day when the anti-Christmas spirit was ae from the world oy bell, book and candle. Christmas as @ festival has presented many and varied aspects since the day whon it was merely the occasion for pagan debauchery; and if today it is true that the religious significance that it once had is being permitted to pass more and more into the background, it still retains that spirit of benevolence and mirth which ap s 50 strongly to _ciyiliz man, regardless of race or creed.—New York Metropolitan.

That's why it as made such a hit in New York and that's why it has already made a hit in St. Louis. The hit will be harder and more pronounced béfore the week is over. Every seat in the Century was taken last night and there was a good crowd standing in the rear. They expected something novel, and they got what they expected. The music of ‘“Florodora” is different from any you have ever heard. There are no reminders in it and it is dashing from start to finish. To be sure there is a great sim- lilarity in the different numbers, but they are only like each other; not like some- thing else you have heard. There is a well —s Boe wy which has been closely fol- low by the composer. As for the book, it arate es plenty of excuse for the songs and contains some humorous lines.

The Western ‘“Florodora”’ company is full of good people—actors and actresses and chorus girls good enough to make a success of a work not haif as meritorious as this. First there is the dou- ble sextet. I am not going to mention their names, because it isn’t necessary, but the girls all have pretty faces, stunning figures and good voices, and thé men know how to match them. When they made their entrance to sing ‘Tell Me, Pretty Maiden,’ the audience was ready for them, gave them a round of applause and com- lied them to sing the catchy song four mes Bertha Waltzinger is a shapely young woman with a clear, sweet voice, and both the figure and the volce appeared to good advantage in the part of Dolores. Guelma Baker is an attractive little body, whe plays the part of a millionaire’s daughter in a vivacious manner, and sings two or three songs well. Her song, ‘The Fellow Who Might,’ and the duet, “Galloping,” in which she sang with Mr. Armstrong, were among the features of the perform- ance, Keally the most tuneful number is that entitled ‘‘Iinder the Shade of the Palms,’ which is sung by the hero, my fre by Sid- ney Dean. It might have been better sung. but it was well enough done to win for the singer two generous and hearty en- cores. The part of the millionaire owner of Florodora, oneres by Bob Graham, was sung by W. C. Mandeville, and the part of Tweedepunck created by Mr. Ferguson, was enacted by Alf C. Wheelan. While both did fairly well, they gave the impres- sion of being imitators rather than crea- tors--in fact this was noticeably the case in the drunken act by Mr. Wheelan, which became decidedly tiresome before it was over. Taken as a whole, right. It is not surprisin more than a@ year in still running. “Florodora” is all that it has run ew York and is “Die Herren Soehne,” a portraiture of contemporary life in Germany, showing the difference between the views held by fathers and their sons at this day, was the offering of the Heinemann-Welb Stock Company at the Germania Theater last night. Though the tone of the piece is somewhat serious and has the didactic tendency of all plays of the kind—the Ger- mans being content to take a good deal of social philisophy with their eritertain- ment—there are in many moments of light-hearted humor neatly and logically wrought out. And to make the offering complete the added pleasure derivable from g00 incidental music is not wanting. A departure from the usual program is announced for Wednesday, when instead of an evening performance there will be @ Christmas day matinee. The attraction is the modern fairy tale, “Der Verschwender’’ (‘The Spendthrift’’), which was presented earlier in the season and is rated the most popular play of its kind in this year's repertory at Fourteenth and Locust streets. The_American Stock Campany, under the management of Wymer and Raph hun be- gins its season of melodrama inters ersed with vaudeville at the Germatiia Theater next Saturday afternoon. “East Lynne’’ is the attraction, and the old favorite will be repeated Saturday night, Sunday matinee and all next week. This virtually gives 5t. Louis another theater. “A Wise Guy.” which returned to the Grand ree eerey is just about the same entertainment that it always was. It con- tains some good thing s and others not so good, The piece is what might be called a vaudeville medley ané the specialties do very well. The singing by the Harmonic quartette is really the most po gc of the performance. Edmond Hayes, in his earicature of David Garrick, was really clever. The play does fairly well for @ Christmas week attraction. ‘McFadden’s Row of Flats’’ is the Christ- mas attraction at Havlin’s. It has been j seen here often before, and as a result, it | was greeted by two large audiences yester- day. Last night there was only standing room at 8 o'clock. Mild melodrama is on view at the Im- riai this week, the attraction being “The ng of the Opium Ring."’ It hag been seen here frequently before. The company is @ fairly good one.

There are thousands of people in this world who eat no meat from one year’s end to another, and certain savage tribes in Af- rica and Polynasia are almost exclusively meat eaters; but while there are thousands of these, there are millions who live upon a mixed diet of meat, vegetables and grains and if num- bers is a eriterion it would seem that a mixed diet is the best for the human family. The fact that you will find many Vegetarians who appear healthy and vigorous and many meat eaters equally so, and any number of robust specimens who eat both meat and vegetables and anything else that comes their way all goes to show that the old saw is the true one, that every man must be a law to himself as to what he shall eat and drink.

Every nerve, muscle, sinew, every drop of blood is extracted from the food we eat and digest. In these days of hustle and worry, and artificial habits of life, scarcely one person in a theusand can lay claim to aper- fect digestion; dyspepsia is a national affliction and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a national blessing. Most cases of poor digestion are caused by failure of the stomach to secrete sufficient gastric juice, or too little Hydro- ehlorie acid and lack of peptones and allof these important es- sentials to perfect digestion are found tn §tuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets in convenient palatable form. One or two of these tablets taken after meals insure perfect digestion and assimilation of the food. Cathartic pills and laxative medicines have no effect what- ever in digesting food and to call such remedies a cure for dyspepsia is far fetched and absurd, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain pepsin free from animal matter, diastase and other digestives, and not only digest all wholesome food but tend to increase the flow of gastric juices and by giving the weak stomach a much needed rest bring about a healthy condition of the digestive organs and @ normal ap- petite. Mr. R. W. Wincherdon, a commercial traveier from Birm- ingham, whose business keeps him almost constantly on the road, relates in the Sunday News the dangers to health result- ing from constant change of residence and the way he over- came the usual injurious effects. He says: “One thing people traveling cannot very well avoid is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become accustomed to anything and ina few years or mach sooner the average traveling man becomes a hopeless dyspeptic. “For several years I suffered more or less from indigestion, sour stomach, headaches, distaste for food, often no appetite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant effects of imper- fect digestion. “Nearly every traveling man has his favorite remedy for dif- ferent troubles and | tried all of them with indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, }ovetheard a conversation between two ladies, one of had suffered severely from indigestion and. stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets; 1 remembered the conversation 8 injured he stable bui t door. egrrae Bye pe and sent them out also removed a portion residence was but digestion is absolutely perfect as far as I can judge from my feelings and although there may be other stomach medicines just as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, I do not know what they are. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any liquid medicine, as they are so convenient, they can be carried in the pocket and used whenever needed.” The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga Co., N. Y., ina recent letter writes as fol- lows: “There has never been anything that I have taken that has relieved the dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, Since taking them I have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years CAN SLEEP WELL. Rev. F. I. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly Idalia, Colo.” Mr. Judson A. Stanion, the great Church and Sunday School worker and president Christian Endeavor Union, St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have had to be extremely careful what I ate. Many things were indigestible. and after a hearty dinner I could scarcely keep awake. I never have been sick {n bed, but have had a great deal of inconvenience from indigestion. Since I learned of the merits of Stuart’s Tablets I keep them in my desk or carry them in my pocket, and find that I can eat anything at all without discomfort. They were recommended to me by a friend who Is enthusiastic in their praise. I cannot afford to be drowsy after lunch, and find these tablets just the thing to assist digestion and keep all my faculties wide awake.”’ Mr. N. J. Booher, Chicago, Iil., writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stom- ach. Medica] authorities prescribed for me for three years for eatarrh of stomach withdut cure, but to-day Iam the hap of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tabiets. I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.” Nervous, thin-blooded, run-down people should bear In mind that drugs and stimulants cannot furnish good blood, strong muscles and steady nerves; these come only from whole- some food, thoroughly digested; a fifty cent box of Stuart's Tablets taken after meals for a few weeks will do you more rea! good than drugs, stimulants and dieting combined.” Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is probably the safest, most pop- alar and successtt! digestive on the market and sold by druggists everywhere in the United States, Canada and Great Britain. me ne Mrs. Bueh-| MISS STONE TO BE RELEASED.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—It is under- Stood that President Roosevelt is some- What disappointed and chagrined over the declination of Mr. Wenneker to ac- cept the position of internal revenue col- lector for the First Missouri district, to Which he appointed him last week. It places the President in a rather embar- rassing position. It is known that he asked for Grenner’s resignation before the expira- tion of his four year term, because charges of a personal nature had been preferred against him by a government of- ficial in St. Louis. It seems now that charges of a somewhat similar character have been made against Wenneker and filed with the Senate committee on finance, to which the nomination of Wenneker was referred, and that they were filed by per- sonal enemies. Rather than engage in a mud-slinging match with them Mr. Wen- neker prefers to decline the position and stop the process of washing dirty linen with the nation for an audience. It can- not be ascertained at this juncture what the President will do or who he has in view as a possible nominee to succeed Wenncker. WIRES MUST GO UNDERGROUND Judge Douglass Overrules Application to Compel B. P. I. to Permit Trolley Poles on Pine Street. The St. Louis Transit Co. has no right to erect poles for its Pine street division ac- cording to a decision handed down by Judge Douglass of the circuit court Mon- day morning. This ruling practically settles the long controversy between the Board of Public Improvements and the transit company in the course of which the latter attempted to put up poles at Twenty-second and Pine streets, but was restrained by the police department. The transit company contended that the ordinance which the board cited was no longer in force. Judge Dougiass holds to the contrary. This ordinance specifies that the Central Traction Co. must use storage batteries or underground wires as molive power. None of the §1 miles of track authorized was built by the traction company, which was absorbed by the United Railways Co., but the effort was made to utilize six miles on the Pine street division. From this the controversy arose. The transit company held that the fran- chise permitting the consolidation of the street raiJroads granted full aurhority also to use overhead wires on any property they might have acquired. EMPLOYER ASSISTS EMPLOYE. Helps Him Out in a Marriage License Difficulty. Cold weather and urgent duties in con- nection with his vposition in charge of buildings nearing completion did not deter E.

The young man told his employer that he must go to Edwardsville for a mar- riage license, as he and Miss Bertha Lan- dreth, aged 17, of Venice, had decided to marry Sunday.-Mr. Hodges generously of- fered to get the license himself, but Wilson said he was afraid that plan would not do, as the girl was under age. Hodges, how- ever, went to the home of the bride-to-be and had her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Landreth, agree in writing that the ap- plication for a license was with their con- sent. He then tock a night train for Ed- wardsville, met County Clerk Riniker on the train, received the license, returned on @ late train and gave the desired docu- ment to his .employe.

It is simple; there was nothing else to be done. In a circular latter to the magnates of the League he anonunces that he intends complying with the orders of the court in the Freedman injunction suit, and will exercise no func- tions as president of the organization un- til the case has been tried. Mr. Spalding. say the dispatches, has gone South for the holidays and.no date for the argument of the case has as yet been set It is not an ideal condition for the National Léague, and the new year will dawn with the darkest outlook the old organization ever .contemplated. The undecided condition of the presi- dency leaves the League in an unprotected condition and liable to be preyed upon by the American League. The National can take no concerted measures to prevent any inroads being made. Even when the case is decided, whatever way it goes, the road will be rocky, owing There seems to be one course only open to the National League magnates—to bury the hatchet, forget, all personal antipathy and proceed to work in harmony. Not much can be accomplished then, with the teams of the League dis- membered as they are, but it may save annihilation. Just what urges Spalding into the breach at the present moment is hard to see. There is no prospect of the glory of a great victory for the National League in any event, and every prospect of an over- whelming setback at the very least. Spald- ing, if elected president, ir is adjudged so by the court, will reap a harvest of criti- cism at best. There have been hints passed around that the motives of Mr. Spalding are not purely disinterested and that his monopoly of the sale of baseballs is threatened unless he does something to check the competition of rivals. As head of the National League and the friend of Ban Johnson he would be in a position to insure the use of his base- ball by the big leagues at least. if Mr. Spalding has no other motive tian a desire to aid the National League he is ¥o be commended. It may be said, how- ever, that the best interests of the league might have been better served by less out- spokenness and more tact. Probably Mr. Spalding, like everybody else in this world, has a smal! ax to grind on the side. Terry McGovern is about to be deserted by his manager, Sam Harris, according to report, unless he promptly behaves himself. Harris having made some thousands of dol- lars out of McGovern, and having squeezed the lemon, is prepared to throw the skin away. Harris is an astute manager. He has succeeded in keeping McGovern before the public and out of fights for some time. Though he erred when he seized up “Young Corbett” for a mark, it reflects upon his discernment but little, as the best of men will make mistakes. Harris can discern a dollar farther than most managers. That is why he is called clever. So it is unnec- essary to say “*“‘Poor Terry” when the news of Harris’ retirement shall come. He will be richer for the desertion, probably. Mr. St. Clair Shaw, the venerable athlete of the St. Louis University, is about to be rusticated by the athletic association. He insured the displeasure of the university athletic authorities for having refused to play where he was ordered in the football game with Marion-Sims, and !s therefore subject to decapitation. Shaw is a good man. He has won honors on all fields for the university. He was esteemed as a foot- ball player and as a track man earned many points on the cinder path. But dis- obedience in a man of Shaw's years! It is unpardonable. It is just as well that Shaw be allowed to go, perhaps. It is not that the loss of his athletic services will not be missed, but it is hard to discover what course St. Louls University can possibly offer as a noveity to him to Induce him to remain at that institution as student. , “It is not known how far Shaw has pro- rt in his educational work, but on a np aliowance he should at least be Ph.

After ma- ture deliberation the invitation of the Hurl- ingame Club to the Polo Association wag acted upon and an acceptance will be sent this week by H. i,,, Heroert, chairman of the Poio Association. The American team will probably be made up principally of members of the Lakewood team, which won the champion- ship last season. and which includes the strcengest and highest handicapped plsey- ers in the United States. Foxhall Keene, who will captain the American forces, it is raid, will be acconrypanied by Messrs. Jaw- rence and V. M. Waterbury, Jr., and John E. Cowdin and RK. L. Agassiz. The first four named are members of the Lakewood team. and Mr. Agassiz belongs to the Myopias cf Hamilton, Mass. Messrs. Cowdih, Agassiz and ixcene have all played in England and France. The proposed team will be the first to g0 abroa-1 with the sanction of the Polo As- sociation. Aside from entries being made for the tourney by the foremost country and cav- alry teams in England, there are expected to be competitors from India, South. Amer- ica and France. In additien to taking part in the coro- nation tournament, the American team wi'l play at Ranelagh and attempt to regain possession of the challenge cup, which was won at Newport 20 years ago and carried to England by Sir John Watson’s team. he five men named as prospective mem- bers of the team have between them about ds ponies, but it is expected that George Gould, Clarence Mackey, H.

CRASH HEARD BLOCKS AWAY The rear end of Vandalia passenger train No. 19 ran into one of the huge bumpers at Union Station Sunday morning and sent the powerful supports of iron and wood, crashing into the station master's office, ten feet away. The door was severely damaged and the passengers badiy shaken up, but no one was even slightly hurt. In coming into the train shed, it seems the engineer miscalculated the distance to the bumper, where the trains are always brought to a full stop.

TWO OF THE VICTIMS WOMEN ALL ROLLED THEMSELVES IN THE SLUSH AND SNOW OUTSIDE. Burns of Flora Davis, Who Is at the City Hospital, Also Serious— Accident Occurred at 1837 Market Street. A gasoline lamp exploded in Charles Lohmueller’s saloon, 1837 Market street, Sunday evening, and five persons were burned. Lohmueller, the proprietor, is severely Injured. Flora Davis of 2204 Washington avenue and Mattie Henry of 1817 Pine street, who were standing near a stove in the rear of the saloon, were badly burned about the arms and hands. Flora Davis is at the City gppital. She will recover. W. H.” Anderson of 2912 Manchester ave- nue and C. H. Spencer of 1409 North Tenth street were burned about the hands. The clothing of Spencer, who was standing near the proprietor at the time of the acci- dent, became ignited and he saved himself from being fatally burned by rolling in the sncew outside. The others followed Spencer’s example. At the City Hospital it was found that Lohmueller’s body had been burned in a number of places by his blazing garments. He lives at 1422 O'Fallon street. The explosion of the lamp is unexplained. It had been in use for several months, and was not known to be out of order. Loh- mueller says that no one had touched it, and that it exploded with a noise like the report of a cannon. The building was damaged to the extent of $100. BOARDERS AROUSED BY FIRE Made Their Escape From Burning House at 3897 Delmar Boulevard Clad in Night Clothes. Several boarders at the private board- ing house of W. H. Wheat, 3897 Delmar boulevard, made a hasty exit at 2 o'clock Monday morning, alarmed by a cry of fire and the presence of stifling smoke in their rooms. , Mr. Wheat, who sleeps at 3895, which house is a part of his boarding establishment, was aroused by a watchman, who told him that 3897 was on fire. The landlord, without waiting to dress, rushed through a door that has been cut between the two buildings. He found the reception hall filled with smoke. Flames were beginning to come through from the basement. The guests had been aroused already by the smell of smoke in their rooms and were tumbling over one another in their effort to escape down the dark stairways. All got out before the firemen arrived. They stood in the back yard, barefooted, until they were admitted to the other house. The fire burned through to the third floor, but the damage to the building was not more than $1000. Mr. Wheat estimates his losses on furniture at a Hike amount. Both house and furniture were insured. The building belongs to Mrs. M. Howard. The fire caught from the furnace. WIEDMANN FELL FROM CAR Police Learn From Witness of Accident That Conductor Did Not Push Him From Step. An investigation by Lieutenant of Police Walsh Sunday night revealed that William Wiedmann fell, and was not pushed, from Cass avenue car No. 1510 on Saturday. Wiedmann is a molder, and liveg at 1830 Menard street. He stated that Saturdav he boarded a Cass avenue car and asked to be let off at Tenth street and Cass ave- nue. He said that he was on the step ready to leave the car, but that the car did not slacken its speed. He was on the lower step, he said, and someone pushed or kicked him, causing him to fall to the street. He was taken to the city dispensary, where it was discovered that two ribs were fractured and he had sustained internal injuries. Henry Gregg, the conductor of the car, was arrested. Wiedmann said he could net identify the man who pushed him, and the witnesses, too, could not identify Gregg. Therefore he was released. Sunday night Lieut. Walsh found John Singlinsky, 12 yaars old, 1319 North Bighth street, witnessed the aecident. He tolg, the police that Wiedmann fell and was not pushed. The boy further stated that Con- ductor Gregg was on the.inside of the car at the time that Wiedmann fell, Pen Rhombus, a new and fascinating game. RAWLINGS SPORTING GOODS Co., 620 Locust street.

HOUGHTON MAY BE LEARNED He Has Caused Crystals to Become Animated. GREATER THINGS YET TO BE “PERFECT ARTIFICIAL LIFE MAY SOON BE PRODUCED.” Prof. A. D. Houghton of Chicago Tells of Extraordinary Things He Has Accomplished Recently by Scientific Means. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—Within five years, three possibly, the secret of life, the book of mysteries, wiil be as plainly revealed as the simplest problem that children now understand.”’ A tall young man, pale from study and investigation, sitting with head bent for- ward and fingers toying nervously with each other, A. D. Houghton, 2901 Cottage Grove avenue, until a day or s0 ago pro- fessor of pathology in the Hahnemann Medical College, made this assertion to- day and within five minutes demonstrated that with chemicals the is able to accom- plish that which puzzles the microscopist. What his chemicals were he declined to say. “Iam searching,”’ he explained, when asked for formula, ‘for an ion, that agent which will effect reproduction, and then I will have found artificial Hfe, com- lete, yet exactly like natura! life; so near- * like it that none may tell the difference. he biologist says life consists of cells, and that cells beget cells and thus multiply. The geologist, who profoundly antedates the biologist, says the latter is wrong and that originally there was no life on earth. I think the geologist right. When the earth was formed mud was not the kind of mud we have today. It had other proper- ties, and those properties: have been iost. There were certain chemicals abounding then which now we find but rarely, yet then they were everywhere. Therefore thy were conducive to the springing up of lile. For that reason we hear of spontaneous generation. Experimented With Crystals. “I began with crystals. So began Prof. Bulschil of Vienna. We are working along the same lines, and I think no one is neare: the truth than weare. I was working with crystals, as I said, and I found some curl- ous things—that crystals have life, and thar by reversing my work I could see th#@igs more wonderful still. With sulphur in crystallizing out of bisulphide of carbon | found life as real and actual as anytning ever born possessesd, and it lived for six weeks, pulling now one way, now another and acting as though it had some form oi intelligence. 1 formed sponges by chemi- cal action and produced in them the ge:a- tinous matter found in the natural sponges. Further, 1 produced the most curious crys- tals 1 had. ever seen, and, going further, produced spirals pf wonderfui Lashion. “From this it was only:a step to making fhelle, and in one .uwstance I made a shelii @s as perfect as any I ever picked up on the shore. There are a few thiugs necessary to make life artificially. Amoug these are assimilation, selection of atfinity, motion and reproduction of kind. I am now seeking the enzymes by which I may pro- duce the latter. Then the work will be complete. Then we will know God as he is. od is all about us and in us. He jis intelligence and until we know him we can- not know ourselves.”’ The professor's laboratory is replete with curious, things, and yet he moves among them as it the wonders were of the cum- monest sort. Taking up a small globe partly filled with a pale-colored liquid, he held it to the light and it looked much like soured cream. Then, pulling down the window shades until the room was dark, he ex- posed the giobe again, and there was enough light to enable one to read common nt. “No, not phosphorous,” said the profes- sor, “but radium, which I made myself.

SAYS HE DID NOT MEAN TO Injured Youth May Die and the Police Hold Marks to Await the Result. Harry Tesson, 10 years old, of 1122 North Nineteenth street, was probably wounded fatally Sunday, by Oscar J. Marks, ag d 20 years, of 1839 Biddle street, who had shot at boys who were throwing snow- balls at him. The boy who was injured was not in the snowball party, but was walking near the scene. The bullet struck him in the head, ranged downward and lodged in his neck. Dr. C. M. Nicholson dressed, the wound. Several boys, 6ne of whom was James Weigel, were skating on a pond in a va- cant lot on Biddle street, between E'gh- teenth and Nineteenth streets. When Merks passd, it is said, Weigel and his companion threw snowballs at him and that one of them struck him in the face. He shot once at them. Harry Tesson had been skating, but had decided to go to his home, had left the ice only a minute before the bullet struck him. When Marks saw that he had injured the boy he became alarmed and ran to his home, throwing the revclver‘away. He was arrested and taken to the Fourth district police station, where he will be held to await the result of the wound. He says he drew the revolver to frighten Weigel and his companions and that he had no intention of discharging it. a HEEEAS DEATH TD DEAFNESS SUEL B. HULL FATALLY WOUNDS HIMSELF WITH A RAZOR. FOUND BY WIFE LATER He Cut a Deep Gash, Then Shut the Razor Up and Put It on the Mantel. Despondent because he was deaf and be- cause of long illness, Sue] E. Hull, a night watchman for engine company No. 27 of the fire department, attempeted to disem- bowel himself with a razor at his home, 4453 St. Ferdinand avenue, Sunday morning. His wife and Dr. A. Harris, Jr., who had called to see him professionally, found him in his room, where he had locked him- self before attempting to end his life. He had made a long, deep incision acros* his abdomen and then had lain on the bed to await death. The discovery of his condi- tion soon after he had cut himself thwart- ed the immediate accomplishment of his purpose, but Dr. H. L. Nietert, superintend- ent of the City Hospital, whither he was taken for treatment, says his wound prob- ably will kill him. , After Mr. Hull cut himself, he closed the razor and placed it on a mantel where he was accustomed to keep it. Dr. Harris was compelled to force the door to the wounded man’s room. Mr. Hull has been almost deaf for sev- eral years and to this affliction recently was added rheumatism for whi Dr. Harris had been treating him. Mrs. liull says he has been morose for two weeks, but that he had never given any intimation of a purpose to end his life.

SAYS HE WILL FIGHT REMOVAL HE CLAIMS HE CANNOT BE RE- MOVED UNDER CIVIL SERVICE. The Historian of the Navy Department Intimates fhat He Will Add the Schley Inquiry and Miles Re- buke to His Book. Special to the Post-Disratch. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Edgar Stdhton Maclay, author of the “History of the United States Navy,” and as such the originator of the Schley-Sampson controe- versy, now practically hurls defiance at President Roosevelt, who fn the assump- tion of arbitrary power he likens to the Czar of Russia. This power as exercised in the order for his dismissal from the government service, the historian declares he will resist. Furthermore he maintains that in com- manding peremptorily his dismissal with- out a hearing or without’ charges, President Roosevelt violates the very spirit as well as the letter of civil service laws, of which he has always stood as the champion, “If,’’ said Mr. Maclay, “President Roose- velt can point to a humble subordinate on the civil service lists and without his hav- ing a hearing or any charges having been preferred against him, say, ‘Discharge that man’ and have him discharged, then I say he is @3 bad as the Czar of Russia.’’ Maclay to Fight for Principle. “Now, my own position in the navy de- partment, as far as the position itself goes, is not worth fighting about. The pay is paltry and I would not feel justified in spending any money to retain the place. But it is the principle of the thing. “Understand, not only have I never had a hearing, but I have never received a copy of any charges against me. Therefore when I am notified of my dismissa! | shall at once appeal to my chief in the store- keeper’s department of the navy yard, de- }\inand a copy of the charges on which I have been dismissed and insist on the right to answer them. “There has been a mistaken impression about my position in the navy yard be- cause l_am called qa ‘laborer.’ That term, as app too employes of any class, is a survival of ald customs—it is one of the barnacles of the navy. “I am in reality a clerk in the classified list, for which I had to pass an examina- tion, and stood higher than 70 per cent. “Although it is a clerkship, it is desig- nated in the department as ‘special la- “T contend that if civil service means any- thing at all, it means this protection for me—thac I cannot be dismissed withéut charges and a proper hearing, which I uave not had. I do not confess to any violation of the rules of the department, and insur- bordination or misconduct. Job Came After History Was Written. ° “That portion of my history over whion all this controversy has arisén was writton before I became a civil service employe in the navy department, so I don't see how that can be laid against me as misconduct in my present position, “Then, as is well known, I have amended that part of the work to which exception was taken. I have taken out the epithets and left only the facts.”’ Mr. Maclay added that the lastest devel- opments in the famous dispute, including the censure of Gen. Miles and his own dis- charge from the navy department, would necessitate an addition to his history so as to include all these matters. —_—_——_e—_——-—— ’ SENATOR TELLER INDIGNANT. Reprimand of Gen. Miles He Declares to Be “Indecent.”’ @peciai to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec; 23.—Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado today dictated the following statement concerning the rebuke of the war department to Gen. Miles: “] think the whole proceeding from the comencement to the present time and the attack on Admira] Schley, has been most disgraceful on the part of the navy de- partment. When Gen. Miles simply says that he is in accord with Admiral Dewey, the war department calls him to account and delivers a severe reprimand, a repri- mand that couched, as it is, I do not hesi- tate to characterize as indecent. he American people will pay no atten- tion to the decision of the majoity of this court. ed will be satisfied with the opin- fon of Admiral Dewey, for they know that he is a better judge of good naval] con- duct than either secretary of the navy or his admirals.’’ _—_—_e---_—- MUCH SYMPATHY FOR MILES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Secretary Root’s scathing rebuke to Lieutenant-General Miles aroused a great deal of sympathy for the commander-in-chief here. All yesterday many callers inquired for him at the Wal- dorf-Astoria. ZAt frequent intervals cards were dent to the general's rooms, but they brought no response, for he had either left the hotel or had determined to deny him- self to all. In the lobby of the hotel many distin- guished men congregated and taiked over the Sampson-Schley controversy and Gen.

HE SCORNED TO SEEK AID Intelligent New Yorker Fell on the Street From Exhaustion While Trying to Help His Family. PBpecial to the Post-Dispatch. ; NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Starving and without fuel, although living in a block with millionaires as neighbors, Parker Learned, with his wife and child, were found yesterday in a pitiable condition. For nearly a week they had eaten prac- tically nothing and were nearly frozen. The climax to their hardships came when the man was stricken with apoplexy while walking to Harlem in search of financial assistance. Learned is 64 years old. and is the care- taker of the building at 17 East Twenty- sixth street, which was formerly occupied by the Yale Club. Among his neighbors are Frank Work, Adrian Iliselin, Frederick Kernochan, I. Townsend Burden, Alfred Darling, B. H. Field, Robert O’Brien and James B. Roche. Unable to obtain work as a bookkeeper, Learned got employment, nearly a year ago, as a butler with the Yale Club. When the club moved, last May, into its new quarters in West fForty-fourth street, Learned remained in the old club house as caretaker for the owner, Mrs. Cornelius McCoon, who lives at 144 West Seventy- gecond street. He got his rent free in re- turn for taking care of the property Fortune frowned upon him after the club moved, and Learned was unable to get steady employment. He managed to keep the wolf from the door by doing odd jobs for people whom he knew, but they did not inclube his heighbors. Dr. Williams, who lives at No. 1989 Modison avenue, helped him occasionally. Learned and his little family often went to bed hungry rather than let their condition become known to his wealthy neighbors, from whom he disdained to seek assistance. No doubt they would have been willing to help him, but he was too proud to ask. Mat- ters went from bad to worse with him, and on Thanksgiving Day the family was in desperate circumstances. There was no fuel in the house and nothing to eat. Just as the old man had about concluded that there was little for him to be thankful for Miss O’Brien, who lives next door, in No. 19, sent in a sumptuous dinner. She had suspected that the family was having a hard time of it. Since then Learned and pis wife and child have had little to eat. Unable to endure the pangs of hunger longer, Learned started out yesterday aft- ernoon intending to seek assistance from Dr. Williams. He had no carfare, so he started to walk to Harlem, although he was so weak from lack of food that he could hardly stand. Slowly he made his way up town, being compelled frequently to rest by the way. At One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street and Madison avenue his strength gave out and he fell unconscious. He was car- ried into a nearby hotel, where stimulants were given to him. He revived somewhat and was recognized by Milton Barber, who lives at 2024 Lexington avenue. Barber summoned a cab anc had him taken home. He was barely conscious when the cab driver carried him into the house. When his wife saw him she fainted. Policeman Tyrrell of the West Thirtieth street station was summoned and he tele- phoned to the New York hospital for an ambulance. Dr. Chittenden responded and i ag Learned was suffering from apo- exy. --- When he learned the condition of the family he gave Mrs. Learned $1.50, which was all the money he had with him. The cab driver also gave her a dollar which he had received from Mr. Barber for taking the man from Harlem. Dr. Chittenden took Learned to the hospital, where he is in a critical condition.

OUTRAGES IN MANCHURIA. Cossack Troops Torture and Behead Six Defenseless Mongols. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23.—All ac- counts agree in representing the state of Manchuria as being very unsettled. The presence of the Russian troops has led to most serious abuses. Private letters de- scribe shocking outrages perpetrated by bands of Cossacks on the defenseless in- habitants. A typical case is that: of six Mongols, Russian subjects, who were sent in pursuit of horsethieves. They were at- tacked by Cossacks, and, because they were unable to produce passports, five of them were tortured and then beheaded, in spite of their prayers and entreaties. CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
