After FATHER HAD DESERTED THEM TE SOLD ESTATE WHICH MOTHER LEFT THEM. hey Were Left to the Care of Strange Families—Have Been Brought To- gether by C. F. Taylor and Their Property Rights Restored. Not since Santa Claus quitted his yearly pilgrimages to their humble orphan homes, @ quarter of a century ago, has Christmas dawned so bright, so merry, so full of good cheer as this one for Misses Katie and Annie Moor, granddaughters of the late James Walton of St. Louis County. This is the day of their reunion after a Separation of 26 years. It is, too, the oc- ecasion of their coming into possession of a fortune—109 acres of land, valued at $15,000. In the intervening years this property, Isnown as the ‘‘Walton tract,’ and situated close to the German Protestant Orphans’ Home in St. Louis County, has passed through several hands. In 1876 a daughter of James Walton, who had married George Moor, died, leaving this emal] strip of land as a iegacy to her children, one eight, the other 18 months old. Mr. Moor was given a life interest. One day he announced to the little ones that he Was going to Kentucky. That night Annie and Kate, just blossom- fing into robust childhood, bade good-by to St. Louis County. The elder child went among her little friends and told about how ‘“‘papa’’ was go- ing to take them “all around the world.”’ Werr the Envy of Their Friends. They were going to see everything and their voices rang with mirth as they tod- died away from the old homestead—the wonder and envy of their tiny neighbors. . Across country, rough and broken in places, they journeyed to the railroad de- pot. The train was a novel sight, but still more marvelous to the infant minds was the swiftness with which they sped to their far-away destination. This was Greenup, Ky. On the way from no depot they stopped at a. farmhouse. “This is Where we are going to stay,” eaid Mr. Moor, patting his children on the head. The following day he left, taking with him Annie, the older of the two, and crossed over to Kentucky. From that day Katie did not see her father. He went with Annie into a smal! Ohio town and there he deserted the sec- ond of his little ones. 6 Several years later Moor returned to St. Louis County and disposed of the estate to one John Quincy Adams Fritchey. in turn it was transferred to other persons. but finally reverted jointly to Fritchey and Moor. Invrn That Their Parents Are Dead. In the course of years Annie Moor and her sister began inquiries as to their par- ents, and learned that both were dead. The father had passed away in California. Neither sister knew the whereabouts of the other. A mutual relative, C. F. Taylor of Louisville, ran across Katie recently, and at the same time started a search for the sister. His efforts were rewarded, and they de- cided to meet in St. Louls. The two sisters went to eourthouse yesterday, the Clayton where the reunion Simultaneously they discovered that the cae ty 409 acres were being held for them by C. P. Baldwin of St. Louis County. Charles R. as Black has made an offer of $1200 for the _~ © property, but Mr. Baldwin says it is worth ~ @t least $3000 more. The sisters will continue to live together fn St. Louis County. : > nr e PHOCOC SCC CO OSS .

The pack- ing was done by Mrs. H. N. Knollenberg. Mrs. J. Fremstadt, Mrs. W. F. Heath and Mrs. L. Anderson. When all the baskets were filled they were arranged according to the districts of the city for which they were intended. Each mission took charge of the baskets for those persons whose names it had fur- nished and they were delivered to it Tues- day night and Wednesday morning. Its agents had previously informed the béne- ficilaries to call at the mission Wednesday morning for them. By 8 o’clock Christmas morning all the mission baskets had been distributed. The baskets designed for those who had made special appeals and whose names were not sent through charitable organiza- tions were sent out in volunteer wagons, being delivered Wednesday morning. Thousands See Baskets Loaded. The loading of the baskets into the de- livery wagons attracted mary thousand spectators to Broadway and Washington avenue Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, and those who saw the quantity and quality of their contents were sur- prised at the work that was being accom- plished by the fund. “Why,” said one wealthy man, “this is @ wonderful work. That dinner is as good as I will sit down to tomorrow.” Bivery charitable organization and mis- sion in St. Louis and the police department co-operated with the Post-Dispatch in the endeavor to find all persons not otherwise provided for and give them Christmas The pro Ella Moran ..... » WO cee Wm.

Mr. Noland seeks $10,000 actual damages and an equal sum as punitive damages. “I shall undertake to show the public Who was responsible for my arrest,’’ said Mr. Noland. ‘President Hawes has de- clared that he was not responsible for my arrest, but has not said a word in con- demnation of that proceeding. “If Mr. Hawes is not responsible for my arrest he has nothing to fear, but if 1 live I will see that an impartial jury passes on the question of his responsibility and that of the other defendants.”’ ACCIDENTS IN THE EARLY HOURS Christmas Showing of Victims of Liquor and Other Sources of Strife and Injury.

DESERTING THE NATIONAI In the meanwhile the players are sti. serting the National League as rats a sinking ship. In the last few days eral have joined Johnson's organizi among them Dick Harley, Hickman, ar announced in the Sunday Post-Disp Sudhoff As it now stands, the Cincinnati and York clubs amount to little, the forme ing almost completely wrecked. It wa: much last year. but it could scarcely win from the Mudville nine now. A few more desertions and the National will be a, sec- ond-rate minor league. Pittsburg alone maintains its high stand- ing of former seasons. Not one of its players has gone to the opposition, but it will have to play with its substitutes if it wants a game next year. Brooklyn might make a stab at an argu- ment. but not for long. Kelley is gone to the Ballimores, Daly is out, Keeler is threatened with a $5000 offer, and the cham- pions of two years ago are much weakened. The league might as well hand over the flag to Pittsburg right away as far as any uncertainty as to the ultimate outcome of next year’s pennant battle is concered, MAY ENTER CINCINNATI. There is also a suggestion going the rounds that the American League will enter Cincinnati. One might ask why in the world should such a step occur unless it !s de- sircd to eliminate one of the other clubs of the leagues as Milwaukee was merged into St. Louis. Johnson is not going to make a 12-club league out of his organization. It * a dif- ficult enough matter to make eight clubs pay. That is probably the reason why he turned down many offers of amalgamation with the Spalding faction of the National, or would have turned them down had such been made. Ban says he wants to see the National prosper and that an agreement has been reached between the Spalding league and his own. Further he does not go. Cincin- nati, therefore, has no chance for an Amer- ican team, except at the cost of some of the present teams in the circuit. With the present favorable outlook in the new organization, it is doubtful if any club own- ers could be brought to agree to a sacrifice of their franchise. Mayor Harrison of a again sets his broad foot down on the boxing game in Chicago. The Fort Dearborn Athletic Club and Tattersall’s have just concluded a treaty whereby ne contests are to be divided as to dates, between the two or- anizations.

But they didn’t con- sult me. “Chapter five is how the mills aren’t go- ing to come off at all. It is the most pa- thetic chapter of the lot. There will not be a single boxing exhibition at Tattersall’s during the administration. ‘“‘The moral is, ‘Don’t get gay.’ ”’ The fact is the Chicago mayor has not been over partial to the boxing game in Chicago at any time.

BEAUMONT, Tex., Dec. 25.—About noon Tuesday E. W. Steinman, an architect and builder, shot and instantly killed J. A. Kinney, a carpenter, who leaves a widow and two daughters in Akron, O. Kinney was shot three times, and either of the wounds would have proved fatal. Kinney, with six others, was asking for wages due them last Saturday when the encounter was precipitated. Whiie Steinman was clinched with Kinrey the shots were fired. Steinman waived examination in the jus- tice court and was released under a $26 7 bon A second killing occurred at 1:30 m. in the tenderloin district, where Will smith shot and instantly killed Jeff Wilkerson, a switchman. The two men had been quar- reling all morning. While walking along the street Smith drew a gun and fired at Wilkerson. The second of three shots fired struck Wilkerson in the face, and the ball ranged through the brain. He leaves a widow.

PLAN FOR NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE CLUB Considerable Opposition Has Developed in Boston- and Chicago, NEW YORK, Dec. %.—The rough draft of the plan proposed recently by the Auto- mobile Club of America, to make that club the national organization of America and all other automobile clubs affiliated mem- bers of the national body, has been sent to all the leading clubs in the country, but considerable opposition has been encoun- tered. In Boston and Chicago the idea has not been favorably received at all the clubs. The propositionu to acknowledge the su- periority of the Automobile Club of Ameri- ca in all law and racing matters is re- sented. The Long Island Auto Club, at its recent meeting, did not view the proposi- tion favorably, and it is cuite ‘likely that eome radical changes will have to be made fected. a proper national organization is ef- ecte SCHEME PLANNED T0 OUST BRUSH New Cincinnati Baseball Com- pany Said to Be Planning to Force Him From the Game. CINCINNATI, O., Dec. present indications, Col. J. D. Ellison, a minority stockholder in the Cincinnati BasebaliClub; ‘W. R. Zulick and three other gentlemen of this city are undertaking to secure control of the National League club here and to oust John T. Brush of In- dianapolis from the presidency. It is believed that A. G. Spalding and the clubs affiliating with him in the Na- tional League dissesion are behind the move. ~ Col. Ellison of Columbus is the ee mover in the affair, but local capital as also been interested. When interviewed on the subject yester- day, Mr. W..R. Zulick stated that Cincin- nati would have a ball team next season, and that John T. Brush would not be its president or even interested in it. He stated that Brush woulfl not be bought out, aS he had nothing worth purchasing. He was stated to have. no’ franchise and a grandstand that was unpaid for, and the movers in the new affair could not see the wav to dicker with him. Mr. Zulick would not divulge the names of his associates in the scheme, but stated that if John T. Brush was in baseball next year in Cincinnati it would be as the head of a minor league club. The promoters of the new baseball team have two sites already under considera- tion. A ccmpany has been formed by Mr. Zulick and his associates. At first their object was to buy out Brush, but the ad- visability of this course has not seemcd apparent to all concerned, and, it Is an- nounced, has been abandoned. Mr. Zutick spent several hours in con- ference with Ban Johnson of the American League at the St. Nicholas yesterday, but it is not believed the new yo gy | has any idea of entering the ranks of the American. Mr. Zulick and Johnson are very intimate friends. 25.—According to —_— Spalding’s Brother and Ban Johnson Confer.

Mr. Spaiding was never elected president-secretary-treasurer of the National League. His pretended elec- tion was entirely without authority. The courts have taken this view of it by issu- ing the injunction, and Mr. Spalding seems swerve come to the same conviction him- se “Every act of a part of the National League by which it undertook to elect a president, director or officer in the absence of a majority of that board, was "ileeral. and the persons who held their respective offices by such authority are open to the charge of usurpation of the functions of the office. “So far as the court proceedin cerned, the record tis as follows: Mr. Spald- ing had just declared to the reporters, in an interview at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, that he had obtained an opinion to the effect that his election fn all respects was legal. The words were hardly out of his mouth before he was served with an order to show cause why an injunction should not be issued against him on the ground that his pretended election was illegal. A posed days later he came into court and, by n opposing the injunction, admitted that. %e was impossible for him to defend his title to the office. Under these circumstances it does not seem to me necessary that you should make any reply to Mr. Spalding’s communication of this morning.

Benjamin of Cleveland, O., gives some valuable evidence the subject of sinoke abatement. l‘rof. Benjamin is supervising engineer of smoke aeatement for the city of Cleveland. He says that in the year and @ half that he has been after the smoxe nuisance in that city a reduetion of 30 per cent of smoke has been made in propertion to the amount of manufacturing, and that Cleveland is less smoky or " than it has ever been. Prof. Benjamin believes in education on this subject. As soon as the manufacturers understand that they lose money in smoke, and the public that smoke is injurious and can be prevented, the fight will be won. There are manufacturing plants in St. Leu!s that used to pro- duce thick black smoke, burning the ordinary bituminous coal; they now produce no smcke, and use the cheapest coal, including dustand slack, LVecause they have installed effective smoke-con- suming devices. The owners of these plarts have found that the saving in coal socn more than pays for the smoke-consuming devices, and after that, there is a constant saving in expenditure, This practice shuuld become universal. Smoke is not necessary tw a city’s prosperity. Away with it. ooo ~~, oe “To the vietors belong the spcils,’’ but to our navy department belongs a spotied victory. = HAVE A GOOD TIME. The @uty most neglected by average men is the duty to have & good time. ‘ Man does not do his whole duty when he feeds and clothes his family, educates his children and accumulates more money than his next door neighbor. Strange, weird even, as this may sound lo some werthy people, these do not constitute the whole duty of man. In olden times men thought to enter heaven only by the gate- way of gray mechanical puritani#ém. The more dismal they made their lives the surer they were of salvation. The notion that heaven was here and now, within and about them, did not enter their stuffed and stopped-up brains, Curtous as it may appear, this peculiar doctrine still prevails among many worthy persons who do not refer it to any re- ligious principle, 1t is merely a habit of life born of cheerless drudgery, sordi‘i ambition nnd an unintelligent devotion to the merely material interests of Ife. The duty to have a good time preached. And it ehould be pointed out that a gocd time is not obtained by gluttony or any other form of sensual deiight. It seems strange that this warning should be necessary, but it is a sad fact that some of the most ernminent and successful men imagine that the pleasures of the table are the only ones that count. should be recognized and Is it not shamefu! ingratitudo in President Schwab of the Steel Trust to evade customs duties when he knows that the high tariff is the parent of all the trusts?

INSPECTION OF RAILWAYS, The news dispatches bring evil tidings of two frightful railway necidents, one at Liverpool, England, in which severai persons were burned to death in a tunnel where creosoted ties were stored; the other in Pennsylvania, where a trolley car jumped the track at a curve, and six persons were crushed to death by a guypole which tore out one side of the car. A suggestion erters the mind that these and similar accidents ‘might be avoided, or made less frequent, if the public, through Its officials, should institute a system of inspection of these high- ways on which the people must travel. This inspection should pot merely be for the purpose of seeing that tracks, roadbed and rolling stock are properly constructed with a view to public safe- ty, but should be continuous, so that the public shall be safe- guarded from day to day. ‘We have factory inspection, school inspection, public institution inspection and inspection of roads and bridges, etc., belonging to the community. Yet we have eo far neglected to provide for inspection of the great semipublic transportation systems, on which millions of us afe constantly traveling, at the risk of life and limb. Is not this neglect a scrious mistake? Is it wise to leave the inspection ‘oft these highways to those whose chief interest is to make profit out of them? i Three regrettable incidents in South Africa coming in a bunch Go not support the peace talk.

Without hope or expectation of recompense they have la’ bored day and night to the end that their less fortunate felloy ‘nen and women may have a taste of Christmas, that they ma share with the well-to-do the pleasures which make the season time of joy.

"= = ae ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. The stealing of a horse from the president of the Anti-Horse- thief Association has made Christmas merry to horsethieves, Nothing sounds sweeter to a man than his own volce, except his whistle. He never realizes how exasperating both may be to his fellow-beings. Shaw means a thicket or grove or the tops and leaved of vege’ tables, The name is suggestive of the Agricultural Department rather than of the Treasury. What would the fathers of the republic have thought of the sending of a delegation of United States senators to attend the coronation of an English King”? The standing armies of Chili and Argentina are about equal in numbers. Which of these standing armies will do the running in case of war is now the question. It may be said of the after-the-war American admiral, as it was written of Napoleon at St. Helena: “In his bosom there waged a flercer fight Than the fight on the wrathful billow.”’ It is to be hoped that the burglar who stole the Christmas money that little boy Schutz had so perseveringly saved may be speed- ily caught, and that his next Christmas meal may be furnished by the State of Missouri. The “student problem” in Massachusetts has now come to in- clude beer drinking. If students do so much deviltry ordinarily, what will they not do when they are full of beer?

HOW WOOD PULP IS TRANSFER- RED INTO NEWSPAPERS. Let us consider how news paper is made in one of the great mills of the Adirondack mountains, where the giant machines, rat- tling on, day after day, never stopping, are scarcely able to supply the demand of a single New York newspaper. The timber, which is felled in the forests of the North, in winter, is floated to the mill in the mountain streams by the spring freshets, and piled up in great heaps about the mill buildings, whose many roofs, chimneys and towers form a strange picture in the wil- derness against the background of cloud- topped mountains. By being fed to shrieking saws, the spruce logs are cut into pieces that are no longer than a man’s arm. ‘Barking’ ma- chines, which have disks of rapidly whirling radial knives, attack the wood and tear off the bark. To prevent a waste of any part of the timber, an endless chain conveyor carries the bark to the boiler room, where it is fed to the fires. Another conveyor, like the trottoir roulant at Paris, carries the clean logs to the grinding room, where a long line of three-horned monsters is walit- “. for them, “lumes, beside which men are mere pys- mies, bring the mountain torrents rusaing down to the grinding room, feeding tie! energy of forest cataracts to the great turbines. They have an enormous work to do. Within the iron cases of the three- horned monsters are bags gine of a spe- cial hardness, turned by the turbines. The ‘“‘horns’’ are hy raulic presses, which force the logs under them against the stones. Thus the wood is ground to pulp, the stones eating away three feet of wood an hour. The engineer tells us that more than ten thousand ‘“horse-power-hours”’ of energy are needed to convert one cord of spruce into pulp, and that the milis use more ower than a whole manufacturing city In Gow Engiand. Cold water flows contin- uously on the grindstones to prevent the friction setting fire to the wood, and the mixture of ground wood and water which flows away from the grinders, as a pink- ish, gruel-like fluid, runs over dams and through screens and ober | machines, ui.- til, a thick mase, it is either’ put in stor- age tanks, in bulk, or formed by machin- ery into thick sheets that can be rolled up like blankets. It is then ground wood pulp, roney for the paper machines. The sulphite pulp is zeoeres in a differ- ent way. The logs, when they come from the barking machines, are cut up length- wise by Bho seendnig and then cut croas- wise, by “chippers,”’ into pieces less than an inch thick. This thickness gives the length of the fiber. A “chipper,’’ with its whirling knives, eats up a hundred cords of wo in a day. ny falling on another ‘moving sidewalk,"’ the chips are carried away to be screened and then hand-picked —to sort out dust and dirt—and then are earried to storage bins above the great mulpaite | OUet el code staal Stee] by ders. con cal nds 8 upright in row.—F rank Foyent. fo January uccess.

This book has already had a pleas- ing reception. It is at once a book of entertainment for children and older people. It is so unlike anything of a similar kind that it practically stands alone. ‘‘Around the World to Wymp'and,” tells of the most wonderful things performed by giants, fairies, dragons, princes, princesses and agape and all in a style admirable. for- cible and $é A ROUND the World to Wympland”’ There are in all e nothing could. The same might be Said of the “Glant Who Was Lonely,” who Was supposed to have taken 10-year-o!d ehlidren and eaten them alive. As a mat- ter of fact. he did nothing of the kind, ~aoptns the little people in tiny” houses with a roof of thistle-down and a door ot aimonds where they lived all the time, having prerything good to eat, and all the funniest things in the world to see and ‘8s child was no better off than other people’s children. While the Wymps have large heads and eyes similar to those of the Brownies, they have only two teeth, very laige,. and hb’g smiling mouths, -and their pranks enliven the stories with laughter and good humor throughout. The tales are all charmingly told, the interest eagey tah and they are handled in a man- ner so original that one can truthfully say: These tho.ghts seem to have dropped from fairyland. Raphael] Tuck and Sons, the well known fine art and book publishers, have issued thefr usual extensive and beautiful assort- ment of holiday gift, juvenile and top books and ca'endars. The latter are especially @ttractive, a feature being literary celeb- rity leaflets, with portraits of the great *, hors and selections from their works. ese calendars are educational and heip- ful. They are eminently modern, adapted to the home or office. The Tuck produc- tions combine refinement with technica! perfection, making them welcome every- where. Although the Baker & Taylor Co. has ut forth a third edition of ‘‘The Salt-Box ouse,”’ this time with illustrations and in gift book form, the title is still a matter of some speculation. It has been bought for root | from a doll’s house srory to a novel. e book ts really-a sket«n of colonial life as lived in‘an oid Conneciicut house, and as is told by the sub-title. It ig not a record of husking bees and pbarn- raisings, but an intimate account of the day-to-day life. The title comes besause this familiar shape of house, two stories in front and one behind, built to avoid ex- taxes to the crown, resembles closely the salt box on the mantel. literally In his beautiful work, ‘(Camera Shots at Big Game,’’ published this week by Double- day, Page & Co., Mr. A. G. Wallihan tells Of his first successful ‘‘shot’’ at deer, which, like many other unique stories of mountain lions and all sorts of wild beasts éncountered during the ten years of ‘“‘cam- era’”’ Bunting in the wildest parts of the R , 18 the thrilling tale of the sports- He says: ‘I — myself and ra on 4@ ridge that runs at a right an- gie with the course of the great deer trail that runs from Black mountain—the west- erly end of the Elkhead range in northwest Coiorndo—to Coyote basin and beyond in the valley of the White river, where the deer winter.

Suddenly the head and ears of a doe are in sight and the otherg rapidly crowd along until they are out in front just where I de- sire them, when I give a low whistle to Stop them. Instantly they are still, every eye, ear afd nose at its utmost tension to discover the cause of the alarm. The click of the shutter is so faint that they do not hear it and after a moment or two they pass on down the trail unaware of their proximity to mankind.”’ Sidney Colvin is making trapid progress upon his memoir of Stevenson, the man and the writer. Among literary people there is curiosity as to whether W. E. Hen- ley intends, eventually, to write a volume about Stevenson. Napoleon's letters to Josephine—many of them passionate love letters—are scattered about in different books. It has been the k of a ndon editor to collect and transiate them into English. The letters linked into consecutive form by a so- and historical chronicle of the years which Napoleon and Josephine were 4 pee at figures, This chronicle is com- piled from contemporary «ources. It f@ interesting to have an exact in- ce of the amount of spare that is saved books, of India paper and rs. A recently published ition of Dickens is a pocket on based on the text of the Gadshi]! ry ition. A comparison of the two itions gives the following results: Num- ber of volumes in the thin-paper edition. 1%; in the Gadshill edition, 3%. Cubic space ocewnled by the thin-paper edition. 348 inches; by the Gadshill edition, 2693 inches. ce ree by the thin-paper edition in a shelf, 10% inches; by the Gadshil! edi- tom, 69 gpohes.

The neighborhool —possibly from its proximity to the sea— has always attracted literary men—Car- lyle, of course, included. At a house near by Mr. Henley lived while editing the Scots Ohserver and next door Thomas Raleigh, Macaulay’s successor itn India, was born. When the Stevensons left Edinburgh some years after the birth of their only son the house passed into the hands of a local butcher, but his wife felt that a mansion of such memoirs needed overmuch living up to, and it was then taken over by a Mr. bdin. Mr. Dibdin is now dead and his successors are about to dispose of the old house. The London Atheneum recently polled a vote of its readers, the question being as to the most important novel published during the last 12 months. The vote stood. first, “Kim,” by Rudyard: Kipling, : and ot eo “Sir Richard Calmady,” by uucas alet. The pub’ishers of “letters From Hell’ are somewhat mystified over a single order for 100) coples which they received from a certain southern city. What makes it more puzzling is the fact that the book had not previously had a remarkable sale in that vicinity. In connection with the strange title of this volume, a promnent bookseller tells an amusing incident which occurred in his store. One day, in the presence of a num- ber of customers, a sa’esman, finding the upstairs supply of the book exhausted. shouted down the stairway: “Please send up-some more ‘Letters From Hell?’’’ The eo of the customers may be imag- The book has had much popularity, going through a number of translations and edi- ‘ions.

Tenderest of all German legends is that of the Christ-child, who comes on Christmas night, as 4 little child, and fills the wooden shoes that the good childten place outside the door. Ohnigtmas eve the Christ-child came to the door of Jacod Kline of 108 Russell avenue and left a baby girl, 4 days old, carefully cradied in an old chip basket. There is no household in all St. Louls who would have given the deserted waif a gladder welcome than did Mrs. Kune. ildless Christmas confronted Jacob fing and re een Fredia, of 108A Russéll hristmas Eve. eros ths eight years of their married life no children had come to bless the home and the child that Mrs. Kline adopted four years ago died and left them disconsolate. Kline came home from work Tuesday and found his wife sewing doll clothes. “Making baby clothes, Fredia?’’ said he. “No, no,” she answered sadly-—-her eyes on the yard outside, where all the happy Best children were talking of Santa Cjaus. Kline eaw tears gather in his wife's eyes. She was thinking of their childless home— no stockings hung the chimney, no eager children prattied at her knee, wait- ing impatiently for the advent of Kris Kringle. RICHMOND PRAISES MR.

He Is About to Sail for Europe and May Perfect His Plans While Abroad. CHICAGO, Dec. %.—Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Cor- poration, left Chicago with the intention of Sailing from New York for Europe within & week or ten days. Just what Mr. Schwab will do in the way of organizing an international steel cor- poration with a gigantic capitalization is not known to his Chicago friends. That he has had bie peagest in mind for some time is not denied. The avowed objects of the steel magnate’s visit is partly pleasure and largely to look over the field of steel manufacturers and openings for exports to Europe. The ship- nrent of manufactured steel from the Uni- ted States to Kurope is now so large that it requires much attention from the managers of the American steel plants. International Trust Is Plausible. Steel manufacturers do not look upon an international combination as impossible. They are all agreed that the sentiment ex- pressed by Mr. Schwab Saturday night at the Bankers’ Club banquet is correct. The president of the United States Steel Cor- poration said at that banquet that ‘‘combi- nation could not be stopped any more than the Mississippi river could be dammen or the tides couid be turned back.”’ ing such an assertion as a basis, it is easy to see, the steel manufacturers say, how a combination of all the owners of mines, ships, smelters, rolling mills and Other agencies in the world used in the manufacture of steel products might be combined into one gigantic unity. Ir is not altogether with a view to cre- ating such a cempbination, it is said, that Mr. Schwab is to visit Hurope. It is un- derstood, however, that he will take oc- casiton to see the steel plants, mines anc shipping facilities of the continent. He wil aiso make some study of the suppiy of end demand for fine finished steel products in the European markets with a view to increasing exports from the United States. Mr. Schwab was not oe communi- cative about his trip abroad when he was in Chicago. He arrived too late Saturday afternoon to take lunch at the Chicago Club, where he was expected. The train was late and when the steel manager ar- rived in his private car it was nearly One hundred and twenty needy familiies, numbering approximately Fon persons, were made happy Christmas day by the St. Lodge, No, 9, of the Order of Elks.

He died an hour after his removal to St. Mary’s Hospital. A jury, summoned by Coroner McCrack- en, decided that he was killed accidentally by a belt line switch engine. Frank Arbuckle, night watchman for the Clover Leaf in East St. Louis, found the injured man about 4:45 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was then conscious and able to tell his name and business. He also whispered that: he had been knocked down and his arm cut off by an engine. Arbuckle testified that the condition of the man and his clothes indicated that he had been dragged some distance. His left arm was crushed near the shoulder and had to be amputated. The hospital physicians say Moat also suffered internal injuries, but probably bled to death. SAID TO BE INCORRIGIBLE.

It Is Not Blood Money, Says Their Am- bassador, but Safety That We Ask For. WASHINGTON, De. 2%5.—The Italian gov- ernment has been renewing its efforts of late with the authorities in Washington to have our federal statutes so extended as to protect foreigners in cases arising within the jurisdiction of states, thus giving a fed- eral remedy for lynchings and like affrays directed against Italians, such as have oc- curred in Louisiana, Colorado and Méssis- sippi. It is the exchange of views in this connection which recently brought on the discussion fn the Italian Seriate when Bar- on Fava interpolated the Italian premier as to the progress of an adjustment. Immediately on the errivad. of the new ambassador, Signor Mayor Ves Pianches, he took up this question which had arisen in connection with the lynching of several Italian citizens at Erwin, iss. In this connection Signor Mayor sald today: ‘TtInder the treaty which exists between Italy and the United States the citizens of each country are guaranteed the fullest protection while residing th the other coun- ry. In the case of Americans residing in Italy they had exactly the same rights, the same protection, the same recourse to the courts that an Italian subject enjoys. The only exception tis in connection with political rights. In the case of Italians re- siding in the United States, the treaty assures them the same rights and protec- tion given to American citizens. But un- fortunately this expression of the treaty, so far as it relates to Italians in this coun- try is somewhat theoretica® for under the American system, which limits the federal authority over states, the central govern- mont is not able to give effect to the guar- antee laid down by the treaty. We fully recognize the difficulties of this situation, which has been as apparent to the states- mon of this country as they have.to those of Italy. We have hoped this would bring about the enactment of a law which would permit the federal government to carry out the guarantees of treaties. This would be a genuine remedy for affairs similar to those which have occurred in Louisiana and Mississippi! and would prevent the pe- riodical agitation over cases arising in the states, As these cases arose they would be assured of attention under the federal au- ‘ful regard for the exten- ent of a money indemnity. But in the view of the Italian government the question of indemnity does not enter into the case. ere has been no su- most directiv affected listen to « on of and when suggestion by the state or fed a do nothing . ritias goneidetine ti “Sehalt a Bete eh dusk, His Sentiments Are Applauded.

Calve grew suddenly serious, “Bet has been so long, dear, so very, very long while since when I did with my doll play—and this one is so, s0o—what yxyu call it?—so pretty. O, because she shuis her eyes. That was why I did laugh, dear.” The first purchase of the little American girl was at a dry goods store and nearly paralyzed the great artist. It was a pair of ‘unmentionabics’’ for Edna's little sister Florence. Then she bought a pair of wuiite ittens for Bennie, a neighbor’s child in os Angeles. “But, toys, Edna, toys,’’ exclaimed Calve, ‘You will buy them some beautiful things. One thing that is artistic you will have. “Can we afford it, dear?’ asked Edna, in- nocently, at which .Mme. Calve laughed heartily. Thus urged, Edna bought mauy little trinkets for the little ones on the other side of the continent. While Edna was selecting her presents Mme. Calve herself made sly purchases that she did not want her adopted girl to see. Last nizht the girl followed the cus- tom of her childhood and hung her stocking to the foot of her bed. Those who know the enerosity of Mme. Calve’s heart know how ull the stocking was this morning. ~ CITY NEWS.

AKRON, O., Dec. 2%.—Prof. H. V. Egbert of the chair of science itn Buchtel College believés that communication with Mars is ‘as likely as rot to follow Marconi’s suc- cess in wireless telegraphy. Prof. Egbert takes the stand that, while the people of this earth have no assurance that the @n- habitants of Mars are progressive, educated peonle, they likewise have no assurance that they are not such, or that they may not have been for years endeavoring to signal the earth or other planets. He thinks the chances about 60 per cent that during the present century the earth and Mars will éstablish communication with one another. ‘‘While it is true,’’ he says, “‘that the chanc are that the people of Mars have a language diiferent from our own, it is equally true that the deaf and dumb are able after a time to decipher the meaning of certain dots and dashes, and if this be true, why should not the people of Mars be able to do the same?” Prof. Egbert is not especially sanguine in his view, but by cold-blooded calculation estimates the chances which are made pos- sible cf Marconi’s success. He expresses the belief that improvements in Marconis discovery may be made which will permit of the telegraphing through 36,000,000 mi.es of space to the planet Mars.

Your criticism was a splendid one. and, yes, my voice was husky. But I didn’t come up here to talk of that. I wanted to tell you of the Christmas present I am go- ing to give my wife, sweet Bertha Westl- brook. “Bertha Westbrook is the daugchter of a well-known St. Louis citizen. There is 4 little boy in New York with one arm out- stretched to me and the other extended to his mother. That is our boy—mine and Bertha’s, a 10-year-old lad. the picture of his grandfather, big enough to wear a 16- year-old boy’s clothes, and as handsome a child as “hese can find anywhere. “About three weeks ago Bertha told me that she found a man whom she loved bet- ter than she did me, and now I am giving her a.

I did not know four weeks ago that it would be possible, but I have done it. I am going to stick to the plow handle if it kills me.’’ Tears welled up in Hal Reid's eyes, then with an effort he regained } is composure, “There's no disgrace in it. Bertha is as pure and sweet a woman as ever lived, and I love her too much to stand in the way of her happiness. I have given her every play, every royalty and every con- tract—everything that Hal Reid oWns ex- cept his boots and his big hat. “Tom going to begin life over again, and I think there is still something good In me.

Hal Reid, playwright, singer and actor. was pardoned from the Minnesota peniten- tiary on Feb. 25, 1889. after having served thirteen months of a fifteen years’ sentence for an atack on Maud Compson. in Minne- apolis. He married Bertha Westbrook at Wancas City in December, 1889. Mise West- T brook had just joined the Agnes Herndon company, with which he was then acting. Mrs. Reid sued for a divorce in New York.

This was five years after the pro- duction of the ‘““Matthew Passion” and was when the illustrious author was 50 years old.

As in other cases the narrative is interspersed what have been called “reflective passages,"’ but these are here in larger proportion to the whole than tn those other works. The re- flective passages are in two the chorals, or popular hymn which every child In north German the era] situati figured accompaniment for the orchestra, and these stand out in strong contrast to those more simply set. The orchestration of Bach eminently dis- tinguishes his music from. that of other writers, as much of his own time as of ours. His broad writing for string instruments has the grand character which always be- longs to the contrapuntal style.,and is com- mon to him and to other composers, but his treatment of wince instruments is distinc- tive and remarkable. As has been said, the Christmas oratorio was designed for performance on six sev- eral days, to each of which one of its six pacre is appropriate. Yet, there is no say- ng@, whether by accident or intention, the six parts seem naturally to divide them- selves into twice three, which is agreeably convenient for the performance of the vratorio as a whole, apart from ecciesias- set oo or oy pirement. @ portion o @ oratorio appropriated to the first y of the Festival oe hrist- mas is highly jubilant in character—an irre- pre le outburst, as it were, of the world's joicing. fally this must be felt in the opening number, to which the clang of 1 instruments, as much as the broad earns | exulting phrases for the voices. gives par an air of triumph.
