The people of Missouri are gratified that today the great hattle- ship which is named after their state is launched and safely started on her career as a defender of the republic. soe The keel of this steel giant of the seas, with her 12,300 tons dis- Placement, was laid at Newport News, Va., in April, 1899. She Ts one of the three battleships whose building was decided on soon after the blowing up of the old Maine. Her naming was the result of a movement begun by the Sunday Post-Dispatch, which on March 13, 1898, sent a strongly-worded telegram to the members of the Missouri delegation at Washington urging that one of the three new battleships to be built should be named after this state.* Maj. Chas. E. Pearce, Mr. Barthodt and others immediately took the matter up, and a committee, headed by Mr. Cochran, was appointed by the delegation to wait on the secretary of the navy and urge Missouri's claims. ‘This action was backed up by petition and personal letters, nd the result of the work of Missouri's sons now rides for the irst time in triumph on the sea. ; Missourians of every class send her hearty greeting.

Judge Doone of the criminal court of Chicago is a friend of both Cupid and Hymen. Women with careless or thriftless or indiffer- ent husbands will appreciate the ‘‘few well chosen words” which he addressed to Louis Scarey. The man had been arrested for failing to support the wife he aoqguired recently. Lack of money was his only plea. The evidence showed that he had $75 in his possession when arrested. Judge Doone did not take kindly to his attitude. “In these days,’’ said this wise and learned judge, get furniture on the installment plan. on which to set up housekeeping. rooms comfortably on that, guilty.” The, result was that Scarey was sent ot jail for six months, with the alternative of providing for his wife. Jurist Doone is undoubtedly the friend of the woman who is dlready in the toils of matrimony, but what will be the effect of this decision when it becomes widely known? Young men who are making love on a salary of $8 a week will become even more argent in their protestations and elopements will become even more frequent. If ‘$25 is a sufficient amount on which to set up housekeeping,”’ our Gretna Greens will flourish as never before, the justices of the peace will wax rich and the grocer will go unpaid. There will be more weeping parents, more’ young hus- bands prematurely gray and more tearful and repentant brides. Did Jurist Doone ever try setting up housekeeping on $25 a week, and did he ever prove to his own satisfaction that “one can fur- nish a couple of rooms comfortably on that?’’ eee ‘when one can $25 is a sufficient amount One can furnish a couple of This man’s excuse is no good.

A Chicago pastor has begun the practice of giving away col- area pictures on religious subjects to each member of his con- Sregation. The sermon is based on the picture, and the effect is said to be very satisfactory. Art and religion help each other, as is eminently fit. But pietures cost money and involve labor. It can hardly be expected that pastors shall bear the expense. So the co grega- tion that indulges in chromos must go down into its pockets to the extra cost. This will become a burden if carried too _ On the other hand, the extra work rendered necessary by flood. of religious art will be welcome to a number of per- | looking for jobs, On the whole. ve far-reaching effects.

City Counselor Schnurmacher reiterates and emphasizes his opin- ion that the Municipal Assembly has full power to regulate the This power is conferred by the charter street railway service. and includes the right to fix the rate of fare and the speed of cars, to regulate the hours ‘and the frequency of car trips and the re- pair of tracks and to designate the kind of vehicles and rails that shall be used. It embraces the genera! power to amend or re- peal any franchise for the use of the streets. So far as possible it is settled that the Municipal Assembly with the approval of the mayor has the power to regulate the street railway service to the end that the comfort, convenience and safety of the public may be conserved. It is agreed that wise regulation of the street railway service The people are dependent upon the street cars for They is necessary. transportation in their daily occupations and amusements. are entitled to transportation which will serve their comfort and convenience. But the comfort, con venierice and safety of the public are not served. On the contrary, the public is compelled to submit to discomfort and inconvenience. Business is interrupted and a bur- den of continual annoyance and danger is thrown upon the people of the city. There is constant friction between the street railway employes and the passengers, frequently leading to disturbance and violence. These conditions are intolerable. They menace the peace and welfare of the community. Their betterment is the overshadowing issue in St. Louis How sh2ll the power of the Municipal Assembly and the mayor be used to secure a good street railway service? Wise legislation is needed—legislation which shall be both just and effective. Foolish legislation will make a bad situation worse. Carelessly framed, regulative ordinances, may lead to undesirable complications. It is impossible to enforce a multitude of regula- tions. We do not want a mass of foolish or indifferent regula- tions which may either become dead letters or increase the fric- rights of the public without working injustice to the street railway companies. Mayor Wells ought to take up the problem. He is a part of the legislative branch of the government. His approval is neces- sary to legislative action. As ‘chief executive he must enforce the laws. It is his duty to recommend legislation for the public welfare. Let us have a conference of municipal heads and-the best official counsel to devise a wise and effective method of securing for the peopie of the city an efficient street railway service. Let the power of the municipality be justly and effectively directed to this end. The situation demands prompt and right action. >>> i id An Illinois man has found that covering a hard-coal fire with a mixture of ashes and water, six inches deep, keeps the fire for 24 hours, at the same time producing a great volume of heat and con- suming all the ashes made in the furnace.

Presidential Biographies—No. 1. George Washington, the first President of the United States, was born in Virginia and died in peace. He was very young in his boyhood, yet he had a strong charac- ter. However, he was not strong enough to overcome a tendency to tell the truth. and therefore could not tell a Hie. This peculiar defect in his make-up has given him an undeserved reputation as a model men. Another defect in his make-up was false teeth, but of these we seldom read. because other biographers would have us believe the report false. At a critical time the people invited Washington to become their King, but the offer was throne down. He was a slave owner, but he treated his chattels well, and the nightly reign of mirth on his plantation is said to have given rise to the coon song. It is known that he was not averse to a little ragtime —a verse at a time. He married a widow, and it is said that he never Custis luck on account of it, for nothing ever occurred. to Martha happiness of their lives. He was inordinately fond of writing verses in autograph albums, and history reeords that they were all bum, but that fact never bard him from trying. His countrymen uged him to become President the third time, but Washington bravely said: “I am no monopolist!’’ This proves to us that he would be a trust buster like Col. Mose Wetmore if he were alive today.

AN ARTIST'S VIEW OF LEW CARROLL. Mr. Harry Furniss, in his delightful “Confessions of a Caricaturist,’’ just pub- lished by the Harpers, tells some interest- ing anecdotes of Lewis Carroll, the author of “Alice’s Adventures: in Wonderland.” Artists found Carroll's books very difficult to illustrate and the author himself so full of idiosyncrasies that it was trying to work with him. Sir John Tenniel had flatly de- clined doing any more Carroll pictures, and Furniss was called upon for the purpose. tie says: ‘‘Tenniel and other artists de- clared I would not work with Carroll for seven weeks. accepted the challenge.’’ And they actually did work together for seven years. Furniss says: ‘To Carroll i was not Hy. Fi but some one else, as he was some one else. I was willful and er- ratic, waster ng on insanity. We therefore got on splendidly. * * * Lewis Carroli was as unlike y other man as his books were unlike any other author’s books. It was a relief to meet the pure, simple, inno- cent dreamer of children, after the selfish, commercial mini of most authors. Carro!! was a wit, a gentleman, a bore and an egotist, and, lif Hans Andersen, a spoilt child. It is recarded of Andersen that he actually shed tears, even in late life, should the cake at tea be handed to any one be- fore he chose the largest slice. Carroll was not selfish, * * * but his egotism was all but second childhocd.”’ CHANGED HIS MIND. In his article on “The Community of Zoar’’ in the January Woman’s Home Com- ranion Mr. Landon Knight writes as fol- lows of the founder’s attitude toward mar- riage: During the first years of his administra- tion Bimeler openly opposed marriage, and devoted many long ‘inspired’ discourses to showing the sinfulness of the relation, but finally he fell a victim to the dimples and smiles of a village poeaty and he im- mediately mounted his pul and candid- ly acknowledged in effect het his wires of oe wees probably crossed and he received the wrong message. Where maneinae had languished it at once grew popular, for the benedict now held forth even more eloquently concerning the beat- itude of the relation than he had assailed it when acting under the false message. In his old age his enthusiasm concerning the married estate was such as to subject him to the charge of being a matchmaker, from which we may infer that his own union was happy, for he was a sincere, earnest and helpful man and altogether incapable of giving advice from the same motives that actuated the short- tailed fox.

At the latter place he met a full fledged Englishman, a Londoner, who was visiting America for the first time. Mr. Cannon and the Britisher went one evening for a ride into the country and chancéd upon a typical Virginia village. Over a blacksmith shop was suspended a jocular sign, which read: ‘Ten miles to the next town. read, ask the blacksmith.’ “‘If you cawn’t read awsk the black- smith,’ I cawn’t understand what that bally sign means, don’t ye know,” ex- claimed the Englishman. “ “Oh that’s just a joke,” Cannon.

She had been crowding through the stores, jammed this way and shoved that way, for a couple of hours, but her troubles really commenced when she mounted an Olive street car with her arms full of par- cels, among which was a toy carpet sweep- er. In mounting tha steps one end of the sweeper caught on something and the other end hit a man in the shins. ‘Don’t mention it, madame,”’ said the peace. cheerfully; ‘‘those things are to e expected.” This remark overcame the lady's embar- rassment temporarily, though not suffi- ciently so to prevent her from stumbling over the step in the car door, when her hat fell over her ruffled countenance at a most unbecoming angle. Then, in trying to replace it, she managed to spill a miscel- laneous assortment of bundles into several convenient laps. The grouchy man here gazed at the erstwhile shopper and meanly remarked: “‘Swonder she wouldn't stay If you can't explained Mr. at home / Beautiful Dyes and Sweet Scents From far, ; @ HE first man who, 160 years ago, tried to experiment with coal tar—a Gefr man named Stauff—very nearly died from suffocation. It was 120 years before chemists learned to deal with coal tar and first obtained the beautiful aniline purple for mauve dye. Two million and a haif of money was spent in 1899 on coal tar dyes in British factories. So great was the excitement when the purple aniline dye was first discovered that a Parisian manufacturer made tRe city au- thorities an offer of $40,000 if he might be permitted to take up the asphalt in one of the principal streets in order to distil) ft for use in his dye works. Purple became the fashion, and remained so for four suc- cessive seasons. The newer coal-tar dyes owe their dis- covery to the quinine famine of 1880. In that year quinine became so expensive that Prof. Dewar and other scientists began ex- perimenting to find a substitute which would do equally well to cool the blood in fever. The first results ef their expert- ments were the delicate yellows and browns obtained from bengine. Then quinoline was hit upon—a drug with just the same bitter taste as quinine, equally powerful in fight- ing fever, and leaving none of quinine’s evil effects. Quinoline also costs less than half as much as quinine.

White helitrope ts also made almost entirely from coal tar, together with seven other scents, gencrally known by the names of the flowers they used to be extracted from. The island of Mauritius lost much of its scent industry through the rivalry of coal tar scent.

Clark Publishing Co. of Boston. It is from the pen of William Henry Carson. In the two successful books hitherto b @ght out by these publishers, “Quincy Adams Sawyer’ and ‘“‘Blennerhassett,’’ a hero has had the center of the stage, so to speak, but here is a novel with a heroine, in whom it is expected the reader will become interested in more than an ordinary way. She is a girl of today, country bred, but in life found fighting the battle of She is a pure, lovable charagter, though a complex one. The volume will be bound in a specially attractive manner and will contain ilius- trations by C. H.

At the Odeon Friday night former Comp- troller of the Currency Charles G, Dawes, expressed the opinion, in a public address, the fight of the next presidential campaign would be made upon the “asset currency issue. Mr. Dawes addressed the national cour yention of the Commercial Teachers’ Fed- eration on “Banks of the United States and Their Functions in the Community,'’ con- fining his remarks mostly to the currency. The speaker referred to Secretary Gage 8 recent report to Congress, urging the enact- ment of laws to authorize banks to issue bank notes without the security of govern- ment bonds, but to be guaranteed by bonds of 5 per cent of the bank's assets, deposl- tors being secured by a tax of 1 per cent of the bank’s assets, this fund being used to pay creditors in case of the institution's collapse. Such banknotes would be asset currency, and Mr. Dawes holds that there fs no ne- cessity for such currency. He said that the present banking system in the United States is the best in the world, and that it would be morally wrong to change it now. “T have no patience with those who, by such measures, would undermine the finan- cial stability of our country,’ said Mr. Dawes, emphatically. ‘“‘We want the pur- chasing power of our money absolutely good, whether the bank fails or not. What we need is an emergency currency that will help us out’ of panics, not throw us into them “Ten years ago our banking was less than that of all continental Europe; now it is within 12% per cent of that of the continent and England combined, having gained 120 per cent during that period, while in those countries the increase was but.31 per cent. There are 15,000 banks in the United States, with total assets of $12,000,000,000.’’ The matter of asset currency. the speaker said, would be introduced in Congress and would become the topic of stump speaking in the rext two years. Sanctuary From Irate Parents and Were Joined in Wedlock. “Elopers’ Sanctuary” is to be razed. sion to United States. PARIS, Dec. 28.—M. Lampre, secretary- general of the Panama Canal Co., Danger signs on the walls of the historic the southwest corner of Eighth and Walnut streets, posted Friday, warn pedestrians that the crumbling edifice has been con- demned. The church will be torn town by order of the city, to protect the municipality from possible damage suit». Une of the two broken from the wa!l and leans over toward the street. and shaking, hundreds of trains pass eacn day through the tunnel to Hads bridge. Trains and time have made the o!d church a decrepit wreck, and Inspector , Brunk posted the danger signs and built a barri- cade around the premises. The old church has a history that is dear to many happy married couples. It is re- membered niac by some who have had di- vorce court experience and are traveling in single harness. Years ago the church was a sanctuary for elopers. nee within its portals fond lov- ers following them. There was a pastor of this church who believed that love is the highest law. In his opinion matrimony was a matter to be decided by the parties of the first part; rties of the second part had no business n the deal; it was their place to stay away back and permit the young people to be nape they could. he Holy Ghost Church, in those days, was to St. Louis what the Little Church Around the Corner is to New York City. ed poe couples headed for its protecting roof even as a dove bee-lines for its cote. They knew that they would be married there, despite objections. Many couples found sanctuary within the old church. When Gen. Nathaniel Lyon's troops marched out to capture Camp Jackson early in 186], a party concealed in this ol church fired upon the Federal force. The present Holy Ghost congregation of this denomination worships in a handsome edifice at Grand and Page avenues, Rev. Pedro Ilgen being pastor. William H. Redemeyer owns the old church. He says he will erect upon- the site a five-story building and romantic old edifice of the Holy Ghost, i;,. steamer L’Aquitaine, from Havre.

The report of |the directors of the Panama company ‘cabled Dec. 21. said: | “We offer to accept as the basis and point of departure of fresh negotiations the figures and declarations maintained in the isthmian commission definitive report.”’ The estimates come to by such eminent men are not thought to be open to ques- tion, though, possibly, a few items are sus- ceptible to reeonsideration and a few mat- ters may remain to be decided, such as a valuation of the company’s stock of sup- plies; but none of thes 1s calculated to moa. ify the gross figure to any extent. The company does not intend to give the slight- est ground for any further misunderstand- ing, and believes the cefinitive price put forward will now be acceptable. With M.

JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY. Frank Gaines, after a disappearance of years’ standing, dropped into the home of his sister, Mrs. William Waiker, at Miles Station, Ill, near Alton, and ate Christmas dinner from the extra plate that had been set for him every Christmas since he went away. “I knew you would come, Frank!” ex- Claimed Mrs. Walker, as she greeted her long-lost brother at the threshold. “I never would believe you dead, and I have insisted upon setting an extra plate for you every Christmas day. This is indeed a merry Christmas for me." Gaines left home in his boyhood and failed to notify his relatives of his where- abouts. He went to Texas, where he had various experiences, some ups and some downs, But as the years passed the Illinoisan prospered in the Lone Star state, and set- tled at San Antonio, in sight of the tamous old Alamo, where he is now a prosperous business man. Brother’s Absence Marred Happiness. In the meantime his sister married. Chil- dren came to bless her home, but the ab- sence of the brother marred her haypiness, otherwise complete. Mr. Walker thought it a foolish whim of his wife to set the plate for Frank, but he humored her in it, and she firmly believed that some day he would return to partici- pate in the Christmas feast. Not long ago Gaines suffered an attack of eae og This, as the world learned during the Spanish war, is simply home- sickness, Gaines wanted to see some of his relatives. “T’ll just drop y dmacgaen Day,’ 99 ss in and surprise. sister said the Texan, and so he ‘Children,’ said Mrs. Walker. who rec- ognized her brother at first sight, “this is your Uncle Frank.”’ But the children, who knew their Uncle Frank only as a sort of myth out of the past, were too timid at first to greet him. After the happy holiday feast, however, they gathered around their tall uncle from Texas and heard his wonderful stories of adventure in the great southwest. “I love you better’n Santy, Uncle F’ank,” cooed the latest Walker, whereat Mr. Wal- ker grew slightly jealous.

A jury gave a verdict for $7500 against the Chicago or Railway Co. in a dam- age suit brought by John Anderson, a tcamster.

STOL COMMUNION SILVER al TOOK TWO PITCHERS FROM SALEM M. E. CHURCH ON CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON While Janitor Was Away the Vandal Forced an Entrance Through a Rear Side Door. Two silver communion pitchers were sto- len Christmas Day from Salem Methodist Episeopal Church, southwest corner of Fif- teenth and Wash streets. No clew has been secured by the police department or the church authorities to the whereabouts of the pitchers or the identity of the burgiar. The communion pitchers were kept in a box with the communion cups and pilates in the’janitor’s room in the rear of the church. The closet in which the pitchers were kept was broken open between the hours of 6 and 6 o’clock Christmas aiternoon, The janitor was out of the church build- ing at the time. When he returned in the evening he found that some one had forced an entrance through the rear side door. An examination of the closet showed that the burglur had left the cups and plates and taken only the communion pitchers. Pastor Volkner was notified and informed the Curr street police station of the bur- giary. He gave Capt. Boyd’s men a de- scription of the missing pitchers. They are 18 inches high, goid-plated on the inside and have the name of the church engraved on the outside. kev. Mr. Volkner declines to say what he considers the value of the stolen commu- nion pitchers. THREE MEN STABBED. Victims of Affrays Are Expected to Recover.

WIFE STEALING NOT LARCENY Judge Released a Man Who Said He Had Eloped With Twenty-Five or More Women. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OGDENSBURGH, N. Y., Dec. 28.—The champion eloper is Joseph Leatherast. On the witness stand today he admitted that he had eloped with 25 women, one at a time, that he could remember, and he thought there were some he had forgotten: The last one was Mrs. Frank Tebo, and when Mr. Tebo, the husband, complained that Leatherast had stolen his wife, Attor- ney George Morton, defendant's attorney, held that a man’s wife was not a subject of larceny, and to steal her could not be larcenous. The court sustained him. Sat we WOULD SE ACE NO MOR GERMAN OFFICER DENOUNCED WOMAN WITH WHOM HE ELOPED. SHE TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM Therefore, Capt. Reisinger, in a Street Car, Tore Up Mrs. Flora Wal- ters’ Picture. Capt. Otto von Lensen Reisinger of the German army swore on the witness stand in Webster Groves Friday that he still loves Mrs. Flora Walters pf Ivory Station, with whom he eloped down the Mississippi river in a skiff a few weeks ago. Mrs. Walters, however,’ swore that the captain exercised a strange influence over her, whereby she was compelled to go with him, and that she was now repentant and wanted to return to her husband. Reisinger, who was having his prelimi- nary hearing on the charge of enticing Mrs. Walters away from her home, had re- lied upon the testimony of the womag to Clear him. He was sure she loved him better than she loved her husband, he said. After the woman's testimony and the prisoner’s recommitment to jail, and whilk en route to Clayton on a ear in a consta- ble’s custody, the captain performed a fea of rage and pique which might suggest that he ig a French officer instead of a Ger- man.

The Old People’s Central Church at Eleventh and Locust streets, which archi- tects consider one of the architectural fea- ures of St. Louis, is to be used as a rest- ng place for the public if the plans of the People’s Fund avd Welfare Association io not miscarry. William H. MeClain of the St. Louis Provident Association, who has control of ihe old building, announced Friday that he had decided to let the People’s Fuygd and Welfare Association have the use of it, provided they opened it free to all persons who conducted themselves properly.

Booklets published by the Architects Club from year to year name this build- ing, however, as one that must not be overlooked by the person who would see the features of St. Louis. The architecture is ef the type prevaii- ng in northern Italy and Lombardy during the Middle Ages. North Italian cities otf the fifteenth century abounded in. struc- tures of the same type built as is this church of brick. The old church, the architects say, is one of the finest American examples of the north Italian style. it was built in 1850 through the munif- cence of Daniel D. Page and Henry L.

MISS WALDRON’S IOVER NOW ABLE TO CARRY OUT PROPH- ECY OF A FORTUNE TELLER. MIDLETOWN, N. Y., Dee. 27.— There is no need of giving up hope. Do not believe the worst. Your lover lives. You will be married before the end of the year.” This is what a gypsy fortune-teller said to Miss Antotnette Waldron of New Glen- wood on looking into the palm of her hand. Miss Waldron did not believe the sooth- sayer. She had reason to think differently. The only man she ever would have married was Claude Tweed of Branchville, wounded in the Spanish war and reported dead in a field hospital. For three years Miss Waldron considered herself a widow, for when her sweetheart went to the war they looked forward to his coming home for their marriage. He enlisted in a New Jersey regiment, landed at Daiquiri, Cuba, with Shafter, and fought in several] battles with distinction. Then his sweetheart received wurd that he was wounded. The next news was-that he had died in a field hospital and was buried in the land he cohen + meee to free.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Letters to each of the executive committee are being sent out by Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the National Civic Federation, requesting them to fix a date between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15 to take action on the report on the sub- committee appointed some time ago to ar- range a plan of proceeding with regard to strikes and lockouts. In the meantime Mr. Basley says the sub-committee will MUCH MARRIED Three MESRLN Necessary to Legalize the Wedding at Nice. FIRST WAS AT THE CONSULATE ANOTHER AT CATHOLIC CHURCH. THIRD AN EPISCOPAL CERE- MONY. The King of the Belgians Was Among the Guests and a Guard of Ameri- can Blue Jackets Did the Honors at Church. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) NICE, Dec. 28.—Senator Depew was twice married today to Miss May Palmer—once in the Roman Catholic Church and later In the Episcopal. This is in addition to his legal marriage yesterday at the United States consulate here, Consul Van Buren performing the ceremony. American consular and diplomatic history has not on record an instance of a similar event in which the representative of the United States government officiated as celebrant of a marriage. Mr. Van Buren performed the service un- der a special dispensation from the author- ities at Washington. The ceremony consumed about 20 minutes, after which the wedding party returned to the villa of the Count de Sers in two car- riages. The American flags fiying from three well-equipped carriages, drawn up outside the American consulate, alone indicated that something unusual was going on. Out- side the shutters of the consulate were clos- ed. Inside bright lamps were burning, and a silken American flag was spread over the table, around which stood the princi- pals, the witnesses and the few other per- sons present. -As he was leaving the consulate the sen- ator made a contribution to the consular charity fund. Out of compliment to Dr. Depew, as 4a United States senator and an otherwise dis- tinguished citizen, ten blue jackets from the cruiser Albany attended at the church as a guard of honor today. The civil ceremony was imperative under the French law, which provides also an amazing lot of red tape for matrimonial ventures. Much of this was unknown to Senator Depew and his bride-elect, and it has been necessary to secure some special concessions from the local authorities, un- der pressure from the national government of France and the United States in order that the marriage should not be delayed. Application was made for places in the church for the King of the Belgians and his daughter, Princess Clementine, during the ceremony, in connection with the church wedding of Senator Depew. “BUSTER’S” NOSE OUT OF JOINT.|, Petted Son of Senator Depew Disap- proves His Papa’s Marriage. “10 FNS TAIP| | ELEVEN PASSENGERS WON BY HALF HOUR’S PEBSEVERANCE.
