ADOLPH WISLIZENUS, Judge of Second District Police Court. % SOOO OOOS OOOO OOS OOD Acting on this motion, presented by Perry Post Taylor, city attorney, Judge Adolph Wislizenus of the Second district police court dismissed the jufy panel Friday that James Scullin, through his deputies, to try the. Southern Telegraph and Money Order sioners, termed elisors, to summon a new panel, until he should be satisfied that this authority is vested in a police’ court. Charles T. Noland, attorney for the de- fendants, relleved Judge Wislizenus of the necessity of passing on this question by taking a change of venue. CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED. The case was sent to the Wyoming street pelice court, with the direction that it be tried Jan. 4. tested by Attorney Noland, who contended that the court should not grant it unless some evidence should be Iinroduced to sus- tain it. fidavit of Lieut. Johnson are sufficient to convince the court that the motion should be granted,” said Judge Wislizenus in re- ply. .“The court has no authorty to discharge this jury now,"’ argued Mr. Noland. ‘‘This objection should have been made before the panél was summoned. It is not right for the court to discharge these jurors who It is a reflection upon them as well as upon the city marshal.” JOHN BUTLER SIGNS BONDS. “The court has the authority to set aside a panel at any time when it is convinced that it should ,be done in the interest of justice and when the showing is proper, as in this case,’’ wag the reply. Mr. Noland then filed his application for a change of venue, aud the 46 defendants gave bond for their appearance at the Wyoming street police station, Joun Butler, son of “Col.”” Edward ser, becoming surety for all of them. When Judge Wislizenus announced that he would send the case to the Wyoming street station, Mr. Noland urged that it be sent instead to the First district police court. Similar proceedings against the com- pany were not sustained there three weeks ago. THEY WILL APPEAL. “I want to make the cost as light on the city as possible,’’ said Mr. Noland. “‘It is useless to compel these men to go way down to Wyoming street, when the case can be tried as well in the heart of the city. The cases will be appealed anyway, whoever wins them. The city will appeal if we win and we will appeal if the city wins. The trial in the police court will | not be final, $0 it doesn't make much. dif- ference who hears the cases.”’ sult,’ said Judge Wislizenus, “I will nét alter my determination to send the case to Judge Zimmerman’s court. Another obligation urged against send- ing the cases there was the fact that Judge Zimmerman's court opens at 8 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Noland did not believe all his clients could go there on time. Just before court adjourned he was per- mitted to warn his clients to be in promptly at the opening hour.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 27.—The Nacion says the Argentine-Chilian protocol has been definitely approved by Dr. Alcorta, the Argentine minister of foreign affairs. It is further asserted that the incident arising from the changing of a phrase in ihe protocol by the Clilian minister of for- | portance attdched to it by some of newspapers here. A Santiago dispatch says that Minister | Portela has discovered that one word the protocol had been changed by Chilian minister of foreign affairs. Minister Portela signed the protocol, be- | lieving the document to be an exact copy of that recorded by both governments. He is now claiming modification of that word, and has declared that if Chili does not ac- cept that modification he will leave San- tiago and annul all that has been done. Although a protocol has been signed, set- tling the controversy between Argentine and Chili, the Argentine minister of. war has announced that it will neither mean a suspension of military preparations nor af- fect the call of the reserves into active duty. The newspapers announce that hos- tile demonstrations are likely to take place | tonight (Friday) when the protocol is pub- lished. Senor Hortensio Perez, chief of the Uru- guayan legation, has fought a duel with 4 | the (hilian, Senor Fernando Toro, who took offense at the statements made by the former during a conversation. was wounded. veston.—It is asserted here today that the | Argentine minister to Chili, Senor Porte’a, | has insisted on a new definition of the pro- | tocol recently drawn up with the object of | bringing about an arrangement through ar- bitration of the questions in dispute be- tween Chill and Argentina.

One of the most important institutions In Weldon is the big general merchandise store of James McDonald. the dearest thing in the world to Mr. Mc- Donalo is his 16-year-old daughter, Susie, who is the heroine of the elopement reconciliation. A little more than a year ago then, applied at the store for employment. He was a iikelv-looking fellow and Mr. McDonald gave him a place tin the store.

Donald that the young people were becom- ing seriously attached to each other. They were much too young for that, they thought. .The eyes of the McDonald parents were opened twe days before Christmas, when the favorite young clerk and the charming daughter disappeared. The father was furious and the mother was heart-broken. The father made threats of what he was going to do, and the mother begged him not to be harsh, but to bring Susie home. The telegraph wires leading from Weidon were utilized. One message reached Chief Kiely at St. Murphy, who walks around Union Station, was asked to look for Drane and the girl.

This play has been much discussed in the newspapers, and the eneral verdict appears to be of a most avorable character. Some _ critics have averred that Miss Kidder’s success is fully as great as her “Madame Sans Gene" of several seasons ago. The cast that will appear in this city will be identicaily the same as that which will be seen in the metropolitan production. The uncle assured them that they would be forgiven if they would return, To this proposition the youthful bride and groom consented. They told how they ran away from home and came to St. Louis; how they had tried to obtain a license here and had failed; of their trip to Clayton and the failure there, and finally of how they convinced the matrimonial clerk at Hast St. Louis that they were old enough to wed.

One of the secrets of sts of right living is letting that go which absorbs our energies and re- tards our progress. We should let our un- fortunate fee experience drop into the world of oblivion. We should never recall a disagreeable memory or mistake, unless it be to arm ourselves against falling into further errors. If the past torments and haunts you, cut it..off sharply as if with a knife. Do not allow it shadow to darken your present, or rob your future of its possibilities. Profit by the lessons it has ausnt, but do not morbiely brood over thém Why should you suffer your mind to be clouded with fear or anxiety? Why let doubt or wo destroy all host happiness? Why allow them, like osts, to glide through your mind viinhaiition, day after day, vear after year, when yeu have the power to expel them, to expunge them as if they had never existed? In fact, they do not exist. They are not realities; they are but the delusions of an unhealthy imagination. Only the good is true; only that which is healthy and helpful exists in ultimate real- ty. Those things which mock our success, which fil! our lives with terror, pain and mortification, which chill our blood with wan and crush our happiness, have no angible existence. Analyze the causes of hon unhappiness for a single day, and you will find that they were anxiety, doubt, fear that something might happen, expectation of disaster that never came. These are not realities, but ar@é merely the ghosts con- jured co by a morbid mental condition. If we hold ourselves receptive to the influ- ences of the all-creative mind which guides the universe, if we open our minds to the eternal verity that all tnings are ordained for good, and that evil has no place in the universal plan, we can learn to rise above our paralyzing fears and doubts, as a child rises into the consciousness of the unre ality of ghosts which ence seemed so real to him New Year resolutions have been eas'ly made and easily broken ever. since the raat of civilization. Every new year seems minly gece and more hopeful than the last, and we are ever ready to give our lives a new trial and shake off bad habits. The trouble lies in not being able to keep the new, good resolutions which we make. We need to be more persistent in doing right, living right and working right.—O. 8.

A doctor was hasti- ly summoned, but long before his arri- val the sick man was suffering the most Began Banging intense agony. He Away. insisted that his fam- ily he sent for, as there was no doubt in his mind that his time had come. Accord- ingly his wife and four little ones were elustered around his bed, weeping bitterly when the doctor’s step was heard in the hall below. With a despairing groan the father kissed the little, chubby cheeks presented to him, and gave a last pathetic pat to the curly heads of his children be- fore his wife hurried them downstairs. In a moment she returned with a physician and a faint ray of hope gleamed in her eyes as that person burst into the room with a hearty “How now, Mason? Got a pretty bad turn, eh?’ But the wife’s keen eye noticed that the doctor’s jovial expression changed some- what as a gasping voice from the bed an- nounced that he was too late. The doctor motioned for the wife to leave him alone with the patient. “Just for a moment oF two,” he whispered as she passed him. The doctor bent low over the sick man, gazed intently into his face, felt his pulse and pressed his fingers against the hot eyeballs, then asked a few terse questions, The sick man’s suffering was apparently growing more intense every moment, until finally he appeared to fall into a profound stupor. The doctor slipped from the room. He hurried downstairs and burst into the par- lot where the little family was huddled together weeping bitterly. He surveyed the group for an instant, then strode across the room, opened the piano and began banging away, as if trying to get all the noise possible out of the instrument. He lifted his voice and sang a high-priced comic song, keeping up a dreadful din on the piano. The family stopped crying, their tears suddenly dried by a great wave of wrath that swept over them at the doctor's heartiess behavior. The wife grasped his arm. “What do you mean, sir?’ she final- ly screamed. ‘Is he better?”’ | “No,”’ shouted the doctor, without de- scending from the high key he had reached, | ; > . : some inner seat of consciousness he was ‘Have you mastered your auto yet?’’ ‘Perfectly.

He felt that he was dying, and he was going out to slow, sweet music, for the pain was abating somewhat. The doctor was dancing now and shout- ing at the top of his voice. He did a little stunt in the middle of the room and then whirled back to the piano and banged away again, The music rose in swelling crescen- do. It reached the sick room and pene- trated the stupor into which the sick man } had fallen. There was a strained list- fening expression on his face, his eyes slow- ly opened and when his benumbed faculties actually centered upon the hilarious sounds which were wafted up the stairs he became suddenly and abnormally awake. He raised himself on his elbow. “Coon, coon, coon,’’ sung the doctor. A flash of intelligence swept fhe white, drawn face on the bed. “By Jove,’ mut- tered the dying man, “they are having a regular celebration downstairs. I've heard of such things, but’’—— He began hastily drawing on his socks. Next he donned his trousers, snapping the suspenders vindictively against his shoul- ders. He picked uv a shapely bottle from the dresser and took a long pull, then slipped quietly downstairs. He was not mistaken. A very riot of noise issued from the parlor. The actor opened the door and struck a dramatic, accusing attitude. The doctor left the piano stcol, and, rush- ing toward him, took him tn a tumultuous embrace. “Thank the Lord,” ejaculated the doc- tor, fervently, as he put the now tremb- ling mah Intoa chalr. “Thought we had gone crazy, didn't you?" he asked, as the little family sus- rounded ' the actor.

Kent. “OUR HAD NARROW ESCAPES TAYLOR AND KENT JUMPED FROM AN AUTOMOBILE In Attempting to Escape Shock of Col- lision, They Fell Under Engine While Their Vehicle Was Not Touched. . John W. Taylor, chief engineer of the Terminal Association, and William Austin Kent, whose family is prominent in Louls- ville, Ky., were killed late Thursday after- noon at a crossing at Second and May getreets by a switch engine, to escape the shock of a collision with which they had jumped from a track automobile in which they had been inspecting the Terminal’s new belt line. Mark Ewing, an attorney for the Termin- al, also jumped, but he was not injured seriously. Barney Frauenthal, chief of the bureau of information at Union Station, and his brother-in-law, Dr. Benjamin and John Schwab of Ironton, Mo., remained in the automobile and were not hurt. The collision was averted by the presence of mind of Frauenthal, who, when he saw that the only manner in which to prevent the impending disaster was to drive the car across the intersection of the tracks before the engine a, ypeog: that point, turned on the full pow The automobile aurea ‘the crossing by a marrow margin in front of the engine.

Ewing fell back- ward, which saved his life. BODIES DRAGGED 70 FEET. "The bodies of the men were dragged 70 feet by the engine before it couid be stopped. The automobile was stopped about the same distance from the cross- ing. Kent’s body was taken from beneatn the tender ane Taylor’s from beneath the engine fire aylor was aeed, but Kent was breathing slightly Teanenthul called a wagon from the North End Dispensary, but, as Kent was also dead before it reached the scene, the driver refused to haul the bodies from the gcene, saying that the rules of the health department required that a dead wagon be called from the morgue. Frauenthal] then summoned a private ambulance in which, special permission of Chief of Police Hiely procured by telephone, the bodies were sent to an undertaker’s place of busi- ness. The party, which was made up inform- ally, left Union Station at noon. Mr. Tay- lor had arranged to inspect the work of the builders: of the belt line in the afternoon, ' and his companions were invited guests. They were on their return trip to Union Gtation, and were running about 10 miles an hour just before Second and May streets were reaohed. Frauenthal had operated the car often before upon similar trips with Mr. Taylor. Jie knéw the Wabash schedule thoroughly, end expected to have a clear track to the station. West of the Wabash crossing at Second and May street, the Terminal tracks curve between two large factories, which hides the crossing from view until] one ap- proaches within 75 feet of it. When this curve is sensed and the view point reached the members of the party taw a switch engine backing upon the crossing at the rate of 10 miles an hour. It was about 100 feet from the intersection. Realizing that it would be impossible to stop the automobile in time to avert a col- vision and that checking it would only in- Sure the disaster, Frauenthal began the race for life. The occupants of the automobile were frozen with fear and sat with suspended breathing as the car lurched forward under ne mye apap of power. he engine appeared to be gaining rapid- ie although its crew had applied the brakes To the members of the little party it seemed soon to have made ub the advan- tage in distance the car had of it at the Start of the race. PREPARED TO JUMP. Escape séerfied to them impossible, and all of them prepared to jump. “Hoid your seats, and we will make it he shouted Frauenthal, who was lean- forward as if attempting to add ais own strength to the power of the vehicle. The switch engine was really gaining wn the automobile, but it had not yet made upon the hundicap of the automobile. they were only 10 feet apart now.

An answer to this question would be gratefully received at Freedman’s head- quarters, and would doubtless be appte- clated in a host of other places. Ban, the czar and Albert I of the Na- tional, have been smoking the pipe of peace and conferring in various nooks during the past month. Of course it is only good fellowship which brought the gentlemen together. It was merely Ban's ardent desire to look upon the genial countenance of Albert that led the American League leader to New York at a critical time. It was likewise a Damon and Pythias af- fection which brought the pair together in Cincinnati recently. Of course there was no business in it— Oh dear, no! Ban has so said. There are people who have been incon- siderate enough to believe that the rival league rulers were combining wits for the downfall of Fredman; there are others who say that a 12-club league is being contem- plated by the two, and that the meetings presage an announcement of the same in the near future; there are still others who say that the méetings were for the pur- pose of discussion of a modus vivendi be- tween the American and the National. Cigars and dinner for two was the sum of the meetings, says Ban. Is there a pessibility that Czar Ban, in submitting this view took a subsequent puff or two at a pipe? It is, however, all that can be obtained in the shape of information as to what Ban and Al are doing. ABOUT MR. BRUSH. Mr. John T. Brush of the Cincinnati National League Club has been a much sought for man since the announcement of the story that he was to be frozen out of the Queen City club by W, R. Zurlick and others of Cincinnati. Several squads of information seekers pursued Mr. Brush through Indianapolis but were unable to find that gentleman. Mr. Brush has pr®bably retired for pur- poses of deep thought. After due consideration, he will. probably reappear and Messrs. Zurlick and com- pany will probably be given subject for consideration. The promulgators of the story of the Brush ousting by the way are hedging. Zurlick denies that he sald Brush would not be president of ‘the National League Cincinnati club next season, and insists that his remarks were confined to «the statement that his party had an even chance with Brush of securing the Ne- tional franchise. Brush has been i@ baseball a long time. He has grown a deep root and will be dragged out of baseball with great diffi- culty. The National League, however, also had a deep root—it has been very nearly torn up. Perhaps the time of both has come. MR. JEFFRIES’ CASE. James J. Jeffries is going the way of humans, particularly that which belongs to champion pugilists. According to dis- patches Jeffries has been kissing the flow- ing bowl to the point of Turkish baths and strychnine hypodermic injections. Trainer Delaney, who has handled Jeff- ries in all his principal fights, has looked up the descent of his champion for three weeks and finally has called a halt. He announces that if the big fellow persists in his course he will sever con- nections with him. The effect of the threat seems to have been nil as James J. is again announced from Kansas City as having stabled in a Turkish bath place. While there Jeffries was eerved with papers in an action taken out by Tommy Ryan to recover $1000 for services rendered Jeffries in the training line. For reply to the service Jeffries is re- ported to have turned over and gone to sleep. That is what may happen to him when he meets Sharkey in the near future, if Delaney has much more occasion to repri- mand him for the old fault. It is a most remarkable fact that pugil- ists seldom realize that their good con- dition is their principal asset—it is a capital easily frittered away and difficult to replace. BASKET BALL The male basket ball enthusiasts of the city of St. Louis are in danger of being outdone in advancing the game locally by the various organizations from the girls’ schools. The latter have not only organized teams but have been making matches with riv@&i teams, and it !s not impossible that a league of the school teams may be formed by them. On the other side the men have done nothing beyond arrange a casual game or so, the Monarch team of the Y. M. C. A. being the only one to make special efforts to promote the interests of the sport. Possibly the game is not popular here. If so, St. Louis stands alone of all the cities of the country in its opinion of the game. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the col- leges think enough of the game to arrange intercollegiate matches and throughout the East the various athietic clubs have formed basketball leagues. The games are well attended and the more important matches draw well. Want of suitable places to play the game has probably retarded the progress of the sport. None of the schools have gym- nasiums adapted to the game and even the Y. M. C. A. quarters could be improved. The Armory would seem to be the best place In town, both for players and audi- ence. The soldier boys have a team or twd and are in a position to form a regiment league. The opportunity should not be lost. THOMAS DEFEATED CLAYTON.

DENVER, Colo., Dec. 27.—Jim Jeffries will meet the winner of the Sharkey-Maher bout in this city in either March or April. When Jeffries was here he was asked by local promoters if he would consent to such @ macch and he stated that he would. a letter has since been received in which he expressed a strong desire to meet the winner of the fight, which takes place in Philadelphia next month. Jeffrieg is at promnt in Kansas City. He has been after Sharkey for some time, ow- ing partly to a desire te stop the sailor’ s boasting and partty to an evident opinion on the champion’s part that his prospective opponent would be “easy money. eports from the circuit that has been covered by Jeffries lately indicate that he has not kept ih the best of training and Madden has declared that he would leave him if he did not straighten up. Jeffries does not think much of either of the fighters, Maher or Sharkey, but:in ar- ranging to meet the winner of that atfair, he evidently believes Sharkey will win. Maher is supposed to be practically out of the game. JEFFRIES SUED BY RYAN. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 27.—Tommy Ryan, former prizefighter and now in business in Kansas City, brought suit to recover $1000 from James J. Jeffries today, for alleged unpaid services as trainer to Jeffries for his fight th Jim Corbett. The res were served on the champion while was in a Turkish bath establish- ment, and the only reply made by the champion was to turn over and continue sleeping. Ryan states that he was paid $1500 for his services in that connection, but believes the work was worth $2500. He sues for the difference. Ryan is thinking of going back Into the pugilistic game. He says that Sharkey, with whom Jeffries has been “yas to ar- range a match, is “‘easy’’ and that he will try to make arrangements for a meeting with the sailor himself. Ryan was wanted for a.match with Wal- cott, but says he will not meet the Barba- does demon. BANKERS MADE STARS HUSTLE.

LOS ANGELBSS, Cal,, Dec, 27.~The body of Daniel Everett Smeltzer, a Missourian who became famous in California as its “celery king’ is now on the way to Kan- sas City, accompanied by the widow and her children, At the expenge of his life Mr. Smeltzer had developed and revglutionized the celery industry in the United States and in so do- ing had amassed a fortune. Christmas a year ago the first breakdown came to him. Three months later he went to his former home in Kansas City for recuperation, but in two weeks he tired of the monotony and returned here to his labors of his celery ranches, In June of this year he came to the coast again after a short holiday in Kansas City.

LEARY, GUAM’S FIRST GOVERNOR. a, ~ WON RENOWN AT SAMOA There He Defied a Powerful German Warship and Prevented a Slaugh- ter of the NAtives. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—The navy de- partment this morning received the follow- ing telegram from Admiral Mortimer L. Johnson, commanding the Boston navy yard, dated today: “Capt. Richard P. Leary, United States Navy, died this morning, at Marine Hos- pital, Chelsea.” Capt. Leary was the first governor of Guam after that island came into posses- sion of the United States. He was a na- tive of Maryland, and served in the United Btates Navy in the civil war. Capt. Leary was well known In the navy. His «St lamoOus exp.iolt occurred at Samoa while he was in command of the warship Adams in 1558. Maiietoa Laupepa, who had been recog- as king of all Samoa by an agree- ment between Germany, Great Britain and the United Staies, in 1881, was deported from Samoe by a German warship in 1857. on a flimsy pretext of having insulted the German government. Tamasese, a rebel, was set up in his stead. A civil war then broke out between Tamasese and Mataafa, the chief of the loyalist party and a rela- tive of the exiled king. When this war was raging, tn 1888, there were but two foreign warships in Samoan waters—the Adler, a German vessel, and the Adams, a small and obsolete man-of- war, commanded by Capt. Leary, then bear- ng ithe rank of commander. The Adler was ‘far the more powerful ship, but the gth of the United States navy has mever been in the superiority of her sh'ps, only in the superiority of the officers and of the men behind the guns. Declined to Salute Slaver. The two captains had several inter- changes of courtesy. On one occasion the Adier steamed past the American ale. and at her foremast was a native chief, bound with stout cord to the mast. The German saluted as she passed, but no answer came back from the American ship. Soon the German came to a standstill and a boat was dispatched to ascertain why the Amer- ican had not answered the salute. Upon this, Capt. Leary sent back to the Tcuton this characteristic reply: ‘The United States does not salute vessels engaged in the slave carrying trade" On the evening of Nov. 14, 1888, a mes- Capt. Lea from Mataafa with the information that the German war- ship was, in the dawn of the followin day, going to bombard a stronghold which Mataafa had established on land under American protection. That night Capt. Leary quletly got steam up without attracting the German's atten- n, and had his anchor chains muffled. All hands were called to quarters before dawn. “At daybreak the Adler’s anchors came up, and she made for the threat- ened fort. Silently the anchors of the Adams came up also, and to the gmaze- ment of the German the Yankee craft put r him with a full head of steam, and darted in between him and the shore. Cleared His Ship for Action. Capt. Leary cleared his ship for action and the German followed suit. A _ shot from either ship would now have precipi- tated war between the two nations. When opposite the threatened fort the German dropped anchors, and the Yankee @i4 likewise, taking care to get between the Adler and the shore. I am here for the purpose é same.”’ e crews of the two ships stood at their guns for hours, but the German captain made no attempt to fire upon the fort. For this brave and determined stand received the thanks of the his native state, Dut the government took no action in the matter. : CITY NEWS.

Christopher Beck of 2739 Ann avenue, who was arrested at Gravois and California avenues for throwing a clod of frozen dirt at a Tower Grove car whose motorman had refused to stop for him, was fined $5 by Judge Sidener Friday morning. The fine was immediately stayed on good behavior, and Mr. Beck was allowed to go home. With Frank Warth, who stoned a Market street car because the conductor, John Hines, put him off for not paying his fare, the court was more severe. He was fined $10, and the fine “stuck,” Warth being committed to the courtroom “cage.” Beck told the court the story of his ex- perience. Two cars had passed him, he said, and as the night was cold, he threw a clad of earth through the vestibule of the third car, as it passed him at full speed. The car then stopped, and Beck got aboard. When Caiilornia avenue was reached the conductor, John Lavin, called Policeman Higgins and caused his pas- senger’s arrest. “| don’t think the dirt I threw broke any glass," said Beck. “I certainly “intended that-it should do so. I was nearly frozen, and would have done .aimost anything rather than to have let that car get past me.”* “I ghall have to fine you,” said Judge Sidener, ‘“‘out I will stay the fine, and you will not have to pay it unless you are; brought in here again fot a similar of- fense.”’ Beck was arrested on a summons secured by the transit company, on information furnished by the conductor and motorman, “Table Queen” Flour Is made for all who want the best.
