On a table in the studio was @ copy of Tennyson’s poems open at the leaves on which were the three poema, “The Dying Swan,” “A Dirge” and “Love Death.” The motive that impelled Miss Coggins to take her life may be expressed in one word, “Failure.’’ Even to unartistic eye her pictures on the walls of her studio she had little talent.

Ju Baker is possessed of moderate wealth, and has {n addition a most es- timable and pretty young wife, who aspires to shine in society. She is quite capable of sustaini her position in Washington society as Mrs. Senator Baker, and Judge Baker is most certainly willing to give her the opportunity. Once in the Senate Judge Baker would make his presence felt, as he is not only @ power in western politics, but is a deep student of internationa! affairs, and ess- ive and brilliant speaker, capable of de- livering a biting sarcasm, which is yet replete with argument, and has a presence that is at once pleasing and commanding.

Special to the Post-Dispetch. CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Of seven prominent railway officials summoned to appear be- fore the Interstate Commerce Commission and testify concerning the recent giant rail- way merger, only two appeared, and the opening of the investigation was postponed until Jan. 24 “It is apparent to the commission from the nature of this investigation,’’ said Chair- man Knapp, ‘“‘that those men best informed and able to give the most valuable testi- mony are not present. The commission is disinclined to begin its inquiry without the presence of the men who are absent for one reason or another. The time is not suitable to take the testimony of less im- gee witnesses, and -~ adjournment will @ taken until 10 o'clock Jan. 24. Subpenas will be served on the gentlemen who have ignored our request, and we propose to éen- force their appearance.” a ftee the adjournment Chairman Knapp said, “If Mr. Harriman and others fail to an- swer a subpena to appear in Chicago Jan. 24, they are liable to a fine of $5000 and im- SS not exceeding one year, and the aw will be enforced. They are not subject to any penalty for ignoring our request to appear. I believe they will not disappoint us again.”’ According to the statutes the commission has the right to subpena witnesses, FORGOT HOW TO WALK AND TALK After Illness Charles P. Leach Had to Learn Use of His Limbs and Tongue Anew. Special to the Post-Dispatch. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 9.—Charies P. Lesh of this city can boast of a unique experi- ence. Four times he has learned to walk, and three times to talk. He remembers nothing of his infancy, and he supposes that he learned to walk and talk the same as other children. When he was 6 years old an acute attack of scarlet fever ruined his pedestrian abilities, and he was told by his parents that it was much more dif- ficult to teach him to walk the second time than the first. Seven years age Mr. Lesh suffered a stroke of paralysis. When he began using his mouth in framing words his utterances were ecarcely distinguishable, but in a week's time he could make his wants known to his family, and in the course of time his speech was restored. But it was more difficult this time for him to learn to walk than to talk. tm ee 3 the paralytic stroke, he was seized with nervous prostration ‘and for five months he was confined to his bed, unable to talk and part of the time unable to help himself in any manner. During this time his business cares were pressing, and in order to communicate his wants he caused an alphabet of large letters to be placed in tion, and with his fingers he pointed at the lettera. The sa slow method of spelling was also followed in answering his business let- ters.

Fightin State Committee Will Be Over ‘+ Qpen Door and Publicity of Pro- ceedings, to Be Demanded by Clark Men. According to report, the friends of Champ Clark, several of whom met in St, Louis Wednesday, have tecided to send the Ninth District congressman a formal request to g@ before the state committee Jan. 1g and ask that body to order a general .primary. if the request is denied, then Mr. Clark's sonal presentation to the committee of the general. caucus method of determining the Dimocratic senatorial nominee would be more forceful than were it to be made by a Clark leutenant. If the request is denied, then Mr. Clark's friends declare, the action of the state_com- mittee will serve as a boomerang to those whom it is expected to favor and Clark will gain a host of votes among the rank and file of the Democracy throughout the state. Among the congressman's followers who arrived in St. Lo Thursday was John . Knott of Han l. r. Knott did n care to discuss the political situation beyond saying that he thought Mr. Clark's chances were very rosy. It looks certain at this time that the state committee will not ignore the demand for @ general primary. At least } out of the 30 members thereof are strongly opposed to this plan. They assert a general primary would be too ex- oer and besides might eliminate other idates who desjre to enter the senpatori- 4 eld later.

The ex-governor realigzes this and it is hinted he is seriously thinking of advising his friends on the state committee to rec- ommend a general pramery, In that event, and providing Mr. De Ar- mond is placed among the candidates, Gov.

BOTH ARE PAYING A BONUS This Is Being Put Aside to Pay on Original Debt for Con- struction. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. MISHAKAWA, Ind., Jan. 9.—This manu- facturing town of 6000 inhabitants not only believes in municipal ownership of publie utilities, but votes on that belief. The waterworks and electric lighting system are owned and operated by the city. The two systems are in the same building and are run by the same plant, but are under separate management. The electric light- ing system has been in operation the short- est time, but it shows better and quicker results than the other. The advantages in municipal ownership are demonstrated in a review of the electric scheme of this lit- tle city. : Accocrding to the plan inauguraged in 18%, the revenue derived from commefbeial light- ing pays the running expeni-s. This scheme has been successful from the very start. There is, however, a levy of 15 cents on the $100 for street lighting. The proceeds are applied on ‘the original in- debtedness. The rate charged for con?f§;er- clal or residence lighting is extremely low, being 11 cents per kilowat, with 20 per cent off for cash. This rate is an exceptional one, aud the fact that the plant is gradual- ly paying for itself at such a low vost to consumers is evidence in itself in favor of municipal ter, : of lighting facilities. The plant was built in 1895 by a stock com- pany of public spirited citizens known as the Citizens’ Electric Co. The intention of the company was to turn the plant over to the city as soon as completed, or when- ever the counci!l might see fit to assume the responsibility of such an undertaking. This plan was completely carried out. The city assumed charge of the plant Jan. 20, 1396. Bonds were issued to cover $22,000. Since that time the equipment and bulldings have been tnerensee so that the plant is now worth time the bonded indeb creased to $12,000. In other words, durin the last six years the city has realiz more than twenty thousand dollars out of the system. superintendent’s report for the year ending June 1, 1901, shows a total expense account of $12,851.58, while the credits co)- leoted amounted to $18,945.72, re a bal- ance of $1,094.14 to be applied on e pay- ment of bonds. In view of the mF. small balance the large realization to the city in six years, mentioned above, seems out of reason, but thie is accounted for in the following manner: The superintend- ent’s account includes money applied on een and equipment during the year, which is in no way a part of the running expenses. It is, an addition to the capital, or, better. valuation of the plant, Since June 1, 1901, it is estimated that the equipment has been increased some three thousand dollars. The commmercia! lighting during the com- ing year will undoubtedly amount to three times what it did during wed peoscous year. In a conversation the superintendent of the works said that the plant is doing $200 a month more business than last year. JUDGE ROSE GUEST OF HONOR.

eee: TERR * INA »# DOUBLE BILL Pe ‘“‘Nance Oldfield” and ‘‘The Bells” formed the double biil for the third night of the irving-Terry engagement at the Oiympic. Miss Terry appeared to have entirely re-: covered last night from the cold which troubled her earlier in the week and, with the passing of her slight iliness, she also seemed to have regained her youthful viv- acity and vigor. Rarely, if ever, has she presented Read's charming comedietta in a more brilliant or forceful manner. In watching her it was hard to believe that she was 80 near the three-score mark, even the physical portion of her work— and there’s plenty of it in ‘Nance Oldfield” —being that of a young and active woman. In connection with the presentation of this sketch by Miss Terry there comes to the mind of a person who week after week sees all sorts of entertainments, a desire to compare it with some of the alleged sketches seen on the vaudeville stage. While there is absolutely no comparison— the work of Miss Terry being that of an artist and that of the malority of vaude- villians that of the slap-stick performer— Miss Terry's work shows what it is pos- sible to do in the way of entertaining with a sketch. If every so-called actor and act- ress on the vaudeville stage could be corm- pelled to see Miss Terry In ‘“‘Nance Old- field,’’ it would work a revolution in the character of the sketches now running riot in that class of entertainment. The state- ment of these same so-called actors and act- resses that plays like ‘‘Nance Oldfield”’ are not sufficiently strenuous to entertain twentieth century audiences is palpably un- true, and the reason why so many failures are scored on the vaudeville stage is that the majority of the performers ought to be doing the work under the stage instead of on the stage. Any kind of an audience in any kind of 4 theater would be entertained by ‘“‘Nancé Oldiield,”” as played by Miss Terry. a - ? =~ 7 - ores 2 Aa Le” ee dk oder | ; ™ Mr. Irving for his share of last night's entertainment gave his im personation of the murderer Mathias in ‘*The Bells. The ‘impersonation is a wonderful piece of char- (acter | greatest as a character actor. Irving is unqualifiedly but To see him work, inight after night in first one character and ‘then another and to see him invariab! | dif- ferent is the fascinating part of an Irving engagement. In most actors, even great ones, there is usually some trick of make- up that is noticeable In each different char- acter. Rut it is not so with Irving. Each of his characters is absolutely different from each other character. There is noth- ing in one to remind you of the other. {r. Irving has been seen so often in “‘The Bells’’ that it is unnecessary to touch upon his methods. Suffice it to say that his work last night was on @ par with the same characterization seen on previous oc- casions. Tonight there will be another double bill and the curtain will rise promptly at 8 o'clock. The two plays will be ‘‘Waterloo,”’ in which Mr. Irving will be seen here for the first time and “Mme. Sans-Gené” in which Miss Terry will likewise be geen for the first time in St. Louis. Yesterday was a gala day at the Century Theater and the ouse was more than filled with elegantly gowned women, many of them Danghters of the American Revo- lution, who had gathered to see Kathryn Kidder in her new melodramatic play, “Molly Pitcher."” An additional attraction was the announcement that Mr. Irving and Miss Terry would be present, as they were. Every box was taken and Miss Kidder was given an ovation by the enthusiastic women | present. Miss Kidder’s engagement was to have closed Saturday night, but owin fact that the next attraction. den,"’ will not arrive from New York till Monday, she has been able to remain an- / eS Ny?

DETERMINED TO MAKE A NAME Office-Holder, Financier, Inventor and National Guardsman, With Lit- tle Time for Society. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Cornelius Vander- bilt, appointed municipal civil service com- missioner by Mayor Low, works harder than the average penniless young man, though he has an income of $300,000 a year, Or $26,000 a month, or $833 a day. All the Work that he does is from choice, as he doesn’t have to bother about the where- witha] for house rent, butcher and grocery bills and such matters. He is an ordinary-looking young man, boyish in appearance and democratic in manner, but he has many remarkable quali- ties which make him as different’ from the average gilded youth of fashion as a steam engine is from a butterfly. He has ambition—tons of it. That i!s what makes him work so hard. He wants to earn a reputation and be independent of the halo which hangs over him simply be- cause he is a Vanderbilt.

From the Memphis Scimitar. There is a young criminal! lawyer In this | city who, on the occasion of his becoming of age, began the celebration of his birth- | day in a way that caused his household a | great deal of consternation. | On the eve of the fete, shortly after mid- night, the young man’s family were sud- | denly startied from their slumbers by loud voice in the house calling: ‘‘There's | a man in the house! There's a man in the} house! There's a man fn the house!” The valiant pater familias rushed from '- his room, bearing in his hands a heavy billet of firewood, to learn the cause of the disturbance and to capture the intruder. His son was standing in the hall, shout- at the top of his voice. the old runs to fires. Charles BE. Swingley, chief of the fire de- partment, wants an automobile in which to make his runs to fires. He has selected a& machine which, he thinks, would fill the requirements admirably, but how he can get the money to buy it is puzzling him. “The city thinks it is too poor to buy an automobile,"’ said Ben Swingley, secretary of the fire department. ‘‘There are no funds available in the department, and I doubt if we could get an appropriation if we should try for it. But we may ask it soon anyway. “An automobile would soon pay for itself in the saving of expenses. The machine, which father has set his mind upon hav- ing, if he can get any, would cost $850. “Under the present arrangement the chief is compelled to keep three horses, three sets of harness and two buggies to make his fire rune in. The buggies are of the most approved pattern, are made for speed and are expensice. They are often dam- aged by hard jolting, and sometimes by collisions, in making a run, and the re- pair bill for them is large every year. ‘The horses, of courses, are fine speci- mens of driving animals and they and the buggies cost about as much as the auto- mobile at which the chief has looked. feed bill of the horses is another big item of the expense bill and repairs for the harness cost something. “We have figured the expense of the present arrangement and the probable ex- THIN AND THICK.

I remember that, while we were answering a second alarm in Baden on one of the hottest days last summer, a second alarm came in from South St. Louis. Our horse was already exhausted and father was compelled to go to the South St. Louis fire on a street car. If we had an automobile, we could have used it on both alarms and have made 20 minutes better time. “One automobile would be enough for the chief. It would never become ex- hausted and the repairs would not be very expensive if kept up.”’ France Has Largest Prisom From Pearson's Weekly.

James B. Frazier, who was introduced as the next governer of Tennessee, was the guest of honor. He spoke on the life and servi of that distinguished Tennesseean, James Polk. After recounting how and all the territory between the ujsana purchase and the Pacific had been added to the na- tional domain during Polk’s administration, Mr. Frazier said that some had called Pres- ident Polk an imperialist because of that expansion. “But,” continued the speaker, “he did not favor an imperialism which earries .us across an ocean to conquer by force a he jens people and to govern them as su jects. When Frederick W. Lehmann of St. Louis, once of lowa, arose to respond to the toast, “The Louisiana Purchase kxposition,” he replied with considerable emphasis to Mr. Frazier’s anti-imperialistic views, taki the opposite side, upholding United States expansion in the Philippines and prais the policy which, as Mr. Frazier Rontever ae oa the character of the govern- ent.

Dr. Strats, a German scientist, says that the most perfectly formed women are to be found in the Island of Java, which most of know simply as a spot of earth where good coffee grows. Java is an intensely hot, maist country, subject at frequent in- One cannot see how such conditions tend to make women physically perfect, except that in such a country the ladies do not deform themselves with tight- lacing. But neither do the Hottentot ladies, and they are not set up as models of beauty. The Bible student may form a theory that Java was perhaps the location of Eden, and that these beautiful Japanese women are the Girect descendants of Mother Eve. The Darwinian may gay that perhaps on this spot the race has had the most time to develop away from the ape type of its progenitors. Whichever may be correct, it would be well for the less favored women of other countries to find out the secret of the Java belle, if she possesses one. We cannot have too much female beauty. As long ago as the second cf last September, Mr. Roosevelt said: “In the Philippines we have brought peace.” In January ‘We are still fighting the bolomen and burning their villages. = = A GOOD EXAMPLE. Mrs. John L. Gardner's “Venetian palace’ just completed in Boston is to be thrown open to the public. The lady’s wonder- ful collection of works of art is to be made virtually public This is the true spirit of art. In private galleries pictures are lumuries. In public galleries they become part of the very life of the community, enriching ennobling and strengthening 4)) private and public virtues. Mrs. Gardner's example is worthy of imitation. No man can better prove his personal worth than by such demonstration of his social value. a The railroads beught last year $200,000,000 worth of new rolling eteck, yet there was a@ shortage. There was considerable ex- pansion within the borders of the Union. >, i _——_— : MAN'S STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS. Wednesday's news dispatches brought a strange story of the Contrast between the strength and weakness of mankind. On the Nantucket lightship a father was imprisoned for severa! Gays by a raging storm, unable to get to shore to see his daugh- ter, who was dying. At the same time, with the wireless telegraph, he was kept in- formed night and day of the condition of his child. Having bent the lightning to his need, man is able to defy the tempest to the extent ef sending his thought through its wildest uproar. Yet a mere weight of moving wind and water prevents him from Geing more. The wind and wave still say to him: ‘Thus far Shalt thou come and no farther.” That this will always be so we may be permitted to doubt, in the over natural forces already won. In cyclone and thunderstorm the electrica] conditions play an important part. Could we discover what that part is, who knows but that we might not be able to still the tempest by using the proper means! forces of naiure are being made the servants of man. Why net this service be exacted on every occasion and under all ? Gweden has 9,000 lunatics with quarters for only 5000. But @verfiowing lunatic asylums are not uncommon. A 8t. Louis @treet car can take us to one in a very short time. NEW METHODS OF INCITING TO DIVORCE. In her petition for divorce a St. Louls woman alleges that her compelied her “‘to go bieyole riding with him, and, despite ‘protests, made her ride at # rapid speed for two hours, there- endangering her health.” "i Prust your brainy Missourian for something new. He is always t.” In thie regard he is almost as in- the Kansan, who is notoriously unique in ~ pba violent means—a plan, at least, which woyld not subject him to the inconvenience and the ignominy of prosecution om a criminal charge. Note‘the delicacy of his plan. Instead of shoot- ing his wife in order to get rid of her or beating her with a chair or otherwise maltreating her, he resolved to make her ride a bi- cycle, in the words of Hamict, “‘unti! her eyelids could no longer wag." What is more, he accomplished the end he sought. There is réal genius in such a courte as this. Instead of bind- ing his wife to Ixion's classical wheel, this Missourian tried to ride her to death on a bicycle. The next man who seeks matrimonial relief, to be strictly up to date, should try an automob‘le. After awhile we will progress to the airship stage. There is nothing like being original. = = a ea ae The blundering legislation that has piled a surplus in the fed- eral treasury through unnecessary taxation should have been re- pealed last winter. Congressman Bartho!ldt’s bill comes too late to prevent what might easily Have been prevented, but it is very necessary now. Unfortunately it cannot prevent the squandering of the public moncy if Congress shall be. disposed to squander. = = i NO MORE HOME TAXATION As a preliminary step to a special election for the purpose of levying a tax for building purposes, as provided in the charter, Mayor Wells recommends that thé Municipal Assembly have the public buildings thoroughly examined by a commission with a view of determining their needs. It will be freely admitted that our municipal! institutions are in a disgraceful condition. St. Louis needs a new hospital, an en- larged insane asylum and poorhouse. The City Hall is not yet completed. No objection will be made to the Mayor's proposal of an investi- gation to determine the building needs of the city. That should be determined before any improvements are begun. But the Post-Dispatch apprehends that there will be strenuous objection to a fresh levy of taxes on the property owners who are now bearing the burden of taxation, and especially the home own- ers, who must bear the cost of street, alley and sewer improve- ments. It believes that this objection is just. Proposing new taxes on taxpayers whose property may be easily reached by the assessor is an easy way of raising additional rev- enue. But it is not the just way. The home owners and small property owners are taxed to the limit now. They bear more than their share of the ordinary taxa- tion. They must bear the dost of the improvements provided for in the charter amendments. On the other hand, corporations holding hundreds of millions of dollars of franchises pay taxes on a valuation only one-third that of the home owners. Millions of dollars’ worth of other property paying large profits escape taxation. The public revenue for years past has been wasted and.-plun- dered. Equalize the assessments. Tax rich interests that escape taxa- tion and can best afford to bear it. Try economy. Sell franchises for what they are worth. Tax privileges. But give the overburdened pocketbook of the plain citizen who owns a little easily reached property and a home a respite. Don't put more burdens on the homes of the city. = = " The people of St. Louls owe thanks to the railway committee of the City Council for undertaking, at great labor and .incofi- venilence, the classification and amendment of the street railway legislation. Voluntary work of this character by public servants is an evidence of civic spirit which is gratifying to St. Louisans, who have for some time past seen but little of it. -—-—— “Satisfaction with the old and confidence in the new year are the dominant features of the entire industrial, commercial and financial situation,’’ says Bradstreet. What could be more fav- orable for the vast enterprise which {fs in preparation Yor all the world in St. Louis? Before Emperor William thinks out any new war plans, he should reflect upon the surplus of 1,000,000 German women in the empire. When the man with the controller shall control himself and the man who is conductor shall conduct himself as he ought and the passenger shall let some things pass, there will be a consid- jerable decrease in the street car scrapping. i ii rie laws should be contested, whether in Illinois All gerry or Missouri. should be me if there is no other way to contest them, they with strong and persistent protests. The changés of venue asked by the transit company seem to indicate that the confidence of the company's lawyers, even in carefully selected special juries, is small. There are strap pas- sengers among all classes of men. The offer of $100,000 for the right kind of an airship for the World’s Fair will be a great stimulant to inventors. It may be that one of the results of the great Exposition of 1903 will be seen in the production of a perfect airship. = = With three isthmian canal routes from which to choose, and plenty of information in regard to them all, there ought not to be much difficulty in getting the right one. en oe A majority of the 487,918 immigrants to this country up to July of last year aettled in states east of the Mississippi.

The new channel of the River des Peres is to be no straighter than the letter 8, but this will be a great modification of the crookedness of the ancient stream. The cordial salutation of the President to Gen. Miles at the Monday night reception makes it hard to belleve that Mr. Roose- velt “let him have it’’ so recently. The rush of women in New York to kiss the young violinist Kubelik is almost like a bargain counter charge. This may in- cite many other young men to study music, but poor Kuby is disgusted. He is surfeited with bliss “You couldn't quarrel with him; he wouldn't talk,”"’ was the tes- timony of a wife tn a recent divorce case.

Our three-meal habit is a fearful tax on our working capacity. It trebles the tempt- ation to overeating; our champlons stagger under the weight of a physiological handl- cap; one-balf the functionary energy of the system is diverted by the exigencies of the digestion. No other hygienic mistake has done so much to make us a generation of dyspeptics as the custom of after-dinner work. Its victims, moreover, incur the risk of contracting that form of moral dyspepsia called pessimism. It tends to rob the work- ing day of its reward. IT ALL DEPENDS. Brown: Bright day, isn’t it?

JOB'S BRIDGE, Pa., Jan. 8—Recent Trains and a mild spell had removed from the open country in the lumber regions most of the snow that had lain deep an the ground for weeks, and the sleighing was almost gone. There were many deep drifts left along the roads, and the sudden re- turn of the cold weather had frozen a thick crust upon them. William Deemer, the day before New Year's, was on his way home from Job's Bridge in a low- bodied sleigh, driving a young horse. When within a mile of home he saw standing at the side ¥ the road and not more than 10 feet from it, in an open space in the woods, one of the biggest bucks he had ever seen. The deer did not move away as the horse and sleigh approached, much to the sur- prise of Deemer. The horse shied to one side when he saw the buck, sprang for- ward, and ran some distance in the road 4 it before Deemer could stop him. er looked back. The buck stood at the same spot. Deemer then noticed that it was much maciated and seemed aick. A lumber opérator a few miles back on the Sunday Matinee Nex OLYMPIC. wat.

The antlers of the buck were five pronged, and the deer, if in flesh, would have been a magnificent specimen of its kind. Feeling that it would be heartless to leave it to perish there, Deemer tied his horse to a tree at the roadside and walked back to see if he could not drive the buck along to his place, where it could herd with his cattle. among which, in severe prenters, he had often seen wild deer feed- ng. ' Deer Began to Show Fight. As Deemer neared the buck with this merciful purpose it began to show signs that-it recognized the presence of the would-be, good Samaritan. The hair on the deer’s neck bristied up. The gaunt an- imal’s ears were laid back flat along its head, and its eyes giared fiercely.

On the opposite side of the road stood a stump, perhaps seven feet high. Deemer cleared the road at a bound and dodged “behind the stump. leering out, he saw the buck coming, and then discovered that the deer’s right hind leg was broken and dragged heipiessiy along. Then the buck's fierceness when approached was explained. ‘There is no fiercer or more dreaded object to be met in the woods than a wounded buck, as all hunters know. No matter whether it is the one who inflicted the wound or not, the buck will attack the} first person that appears. A deer, so ola hunters deciare, can handle itself with three sound legs almost as well as it can with all four, providing the disabled one ig nota foreleg, This buck with the broken hind leg was able to get around quite actively at any rate, and gave Deemer a lively chase around the stump for five minutes or more. Deemer tearing to run away from the stump to the open, the buck toilowed him sv closely. He had no weapon, but there was ean av in his slight. How to reach that ax though was the question. The sieigh was 60 yards away, but between it and where Deemer was dodging that wounded buck around the stump were several trees, stand- at irregular distances from each other, mo two of them closer together than ten feet. They were all smaii trees. It be- came plain to Deemer what he could not — much more time circling round that etump, for broken-legged and emaciated as it was, the buck gave evidence that he had more endurance than Deemer had. ~The good San COMFORTS—200 Fine Silkoline Bed Comforts, large size, sewed and tufted, pure white cotton fig- ured on both sides—regular price $2.00—Clearing Sale Price, 95 while they last C Charlies Frehmen Presents R Irving Bacheller’s Great Pay 4 (Of course you've read the book), Ty i EBEN HOLDEN. | Sail in and aseail the reserved seat ale sow progressing at the box office, ’ : STANDARD. | Ty.

SO ee eee T WN DEAD MAN'S CAVERN River Pilot’s Adventure in a Missouri Cave. ALMOST DIED OF HUNGER UNDERGROUND FOR FOUR DAYS AND NIGHTS. Finally Emerged, After Crawling Trouga Slimy Passages Four Miles From Where He Entered. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. GENEVIEVE, Mo., —an. 9.—Wander- ing in absolute darkness through winding gorges, crawling on hands and knees through slimy passages between jagged frocks, halting at times on the brink of awful precipices, growing faint with hunger end almost crazy from hardships he was forced to endure for four days and nights, Capt, Caleb Johnson, a Mississippi river pliot, survived a terrible experience due to his effort to explore the Dead Man's cave mear St. Genevieve. Despite his trip the cave remains as much a mystery as ever, for the captain got lost In the depths of the earth and has no idea how far he wan- @ered. He knows only that he entered the cave in Simms’ or Monday morning of eek end that on Thursday afternoon ° a sinj le on a ur ar @ entrance. ed was, perhaps, the superstition that no wo ap mar cave and come Rs vag Bo BB. men, if tra- tried to explore the return. out dition cave, mut have pees, PONS to High Cliffs at the Entrance. St. Genevieve is the oldest town in Mis- Souri and stands on the bank of the Missis- sippi river, or rather back of a big sandbar, 80 miles below St. Louis. It is an old French settlement, and a century ago was one of the leading towns of the west. North and south of it along the river are enormous limestone cliffs. In those hills are countless caves. Simms’ holiow is four miles north of the town by a winding road. It is a deep ravine running back from the water's edge @ quarter of a mile, where it ends abruptly in the bed of a steep run and in the rocks through which its the entrance to Dead Mans cave. he hiiis on either side of the hollow are neariy 600 feet high. At the end of the ravine is an abrupt wall of rough stone about 60 feet high, sur- round by a level plateau ne ape in shape and having another precipice shaped like the inside of half a cylinder. he /Jalls ~ s this precipice are about 200 feet high. Well up from the plateau in the center of the cliff is the cave's entrance. It is a dark hole in the stone and is reached by a series of ladders from below.

There the trail ended and there the search was ven up. Two or three years later twe other men who came to St. Genevieve in a houseboat set out to explore the mystery. They made several trips and found at first no trouble. They discovered a spring of water and a wonderful room full of ‘stalactites which have been visited a hundred times since by oo couple in Bt.

WRAY. The expected has happened—James J. Corbett has joined the strike in the grave- yard, and his ghost, with that of other “@ead ones,” is walking abroad with a ¢hip on its shoulder and sidling up to James J. Jeffries pugnaciously. While the thunderbolts of Fitzsimmons, Sharkey and others have been crashing fre- quently and noisily, Corbett has remained discreetly silent. Even when the maich- making process between Sharkey and the champon and the talk of one between Fitz and Jeff was in pragress, and when silence must have galled him painfully, Corbett did not come to the front. It was thoyght by the ignorant that he nad at laet at- tained years of discretion. James broke the silence in a roundabout way, recently, through his brother Jiarry. The reason why he did not come ou dl- rectly is that his tongue has been tied by a clause in hia theatrical contract which prohibited fight talk. At the present time Harry is the official organ for James. He desires the usual match for his brother and may get it. While few people will believe any of the old-time conquerors have an even chgnce with the present champion, a stiil smaller number would piace Corbett {nm the van of the aspirants as having the best of a mea- ger possibility of victory. And yet, viewed in one light, Corbett really has the best chance of the lot to de- feat Jeffries. Fitzsimmons and Sharkey re- iy upon getting in the knockout blow—the chance affair—a game at which Jeffries has them beaten at the outset. At their sijle of fighting the thampion has shovn that he could defeat both in their palmier d:ya. At the present time, when both have de- terlorated, it would appear that they have scarcely a chance worth considering. Corbett, however, plays a differeit game. Having no knocku ut blow in his list of pu- gilistic accomplisaments, he must neces- Sarily rely upon outpointing his opponents. That he has lost some of his strength may be granted, but his old skill is with and his clevern®ss might enable hiin etay away for 2 rour.i%. In their former cngagement Jeffcies for £3 rounds was a target for Corbett’s taps. Not a solid blow did he get in on the shifty former champion. Just before the limit of the battle he finally connected with = Cor- bett's jaw and ended matters there. If Corbett could stay two more rounds to with Jeffrics than he did in their former | for he surely can | hit his opponent five times for every blow | battle the fight is his, he receives. it seems more probable that Corbett could | do this than that either Fitz or Sharkey will knock Jeff out. It is the unexpected that bappens, however. THE BASEBALL WAR. Nothing is yet visible through the dust that clouds the battlefield of the warring baseball league factions.

From present indications this is In pros- pect and the forces of the old autocracy will then be scattered.

At the last moment, it is alleged, he wil! step into the ficid with a large, fat pocketbook, and offer sume hundreds per man more for the deserters.

The Western Jockey Club, at its meeting in Chicago Jan. 6, took back into the fold all the so-called outlaws which were iden- tified with their defunct rival, the Turf Congress. This included owners, trainers, jockeys and horses. The amnesty was general and complete and the last vestige of opposition to the W. J. C. is now re- moved. ABOUT TOD SLOAN. An interesting bit of racing news comes by way of Cincinnati. It is that Julius Fleischman, mayor of Cincinnati, has en- gaged the famous Tod Sloan to ride for him during the coming season. Sloan will hardly be allowed to ride on reputable tracks in this courtry without first being reinstated by the English Jockey Club. It is said that Fleischman has succeeded } in having the bans removed from Sloan and that he will be seen in the saddle at the next Latonia meeting. For several years Fleischman has confinéd his racing opera- tions to the East,but it appears to be his intention to patronize the West this year, so that it is quite possible the great and only Tod may be seen on our local tracks. The horse Josie G., referred to above, haa again distinguished herself. In a handicap five furlong race on Monday she caried 119 pounds, and gave such a good filly as Sister Jeanie 24 pounds. She won in the remarkable time of 1:00%. Cruzados had bet- ter look to his laurels. In the Post-Dispatch selections onTuesday Little ‘Jim was picked to win the opening race at one mile. This fellow is hy the great Longstreet and has caused surprises here. The field opposed to him was a“poor one and he was in where he had a good chance. The price posted against him was the juicy one of 20 to 1. Death is making havoc with the coffers | of the bookmakers at New Orleans. He has just won his sixth victory at the meeting and is the most consistent horse at the grounds. He ran mile on Tuesday in 1:39%, only half a second behind George Arnold's time.

Ky., Jan. 9.—Thirty-sev- en of the 89 Republicans in the House and Senate met last night and nominated Sena- ior Willlam J. Deboe for the United States Genate. Kitchener’s Food Supply. From the New York Evening Post. One of Kitchener's greatest difficulties in his South African campaign is the food supply. He has to feed not only the army, but the women and children in the con- centration camps and practically the whole civilian population in the Transvaal and Orange Kiver. And almost everything has to be carried in by rail, since the aevas- tated country yields little. Now, according to a correspondent whose report the Lon- don Times prints prominentiy, the Boer commandos are able to wreck supply trains at their pleasure. That they do not ab- solutely cut off communications is explained in tho following language, so extraordinary in its implications that one could scarcely credit it without apparent indorsement of a newspaper near the English government: “The Boers know perfectly well that a permanent damage to the railway com- munication would mean starvation for their wives and families. They also know that the inmates of the concentration camps would be allowed to starve first, the army afterwards. There have been many cases during the last months of the war when train wrecking commandos, while deliber- ately destroying the line in order to se- cure supplies of arms and ammunition for themselves, have allowed the supply trains or the concentration camps to pass un- molested, In fact, certain sections of the line have been kept open by an arrange- ment—of course without official sanction— with the train wrecking commandos. It has been an understood condition between drivers and guards and the train wreckers that as long as certain supplies, such us coffee, sugar and flour, were dropped at a& certain convenient spot on the line that particular section of the line should not © tampered with, And these burghers have never once broken faith when the conditions have been complied with.’’ The Blow Was Effective. : From the Loulsville Times. “he doesn’t go to ber clubs and euchres pbalf as much as she did. Peop'e. used to say this char~- ling Woman spent most of ber time at these gath- erings. Une day she called on a dear friend to re- reve in the club. her for her slac kening interest believe it was a club for reforming the vas me- ter or something— “anyhow, it was a reform affuir. ‘Look here, Idzazie,’’ said the enthusiast, “‘why on earth don't you come to the meetings? Here you are are paying your dues and never show:ng up. You owe it to the club to take an interest in the work.’ “But I can't come,"' explained her friend; ““there’s the baby, and Heant doesn't come home sometimes till late, and su r must wait, and if he wants to gd out I can’t go away and leave the children, I wou'd worry myself to death.’’ “Well, I must say Henry is inconsiderate,’’ said the galler. “‘Why. there’s my husband and chil- dren, too. They give me no trouble. Every time I want to go to the club Charile says be will be giad to stay at home with Bridget and keep an eye on things till I come back. He never objects.’ ‘Maybe,’’ retorted the amiable bostess, ‘if I bad a housegirl as handsome and young as Brid- et, Henry would be glad to stay at home, too; mit m.ne is black and goes home at nights."’ The blow landed and Char'ie hasn't been asked to look after Bridget and the house since. Skill in Labor. From the Atlanta Oonstitution.

From this it will be seen that skill cmints for more than cheap labor, and that the difference {in wages paid is but a eliding scale of cunpetence for work. Strong ase is this showing for the superior werkmansilp of the South, we must recollect that even our labor has not been graded up to the highest etandard, and thar the disproportion between American and Jap will be stil further widened.

Saving the Time. From the Indianapolis Sun. As the messenger boy walked slowly aleng the street, glancing up at the numbers on the houses, he was aceosted by a gentleman who was sitting upon a picket fence. ‘Telegram for John Banks, the gentleman. ‘Damfino,’* sald the bey, cigarette paper and a sack of tobacco; like that “Well, I guess that telegram belonge to me,’ said the gentleman, pulling the bed quilt closer around his shoulders, Tor the night was extremely cold. I've been walting on this fence for it for the last four hours. Bring it here, Fleetwings. ‘Whatcha been waitin’ on the fence fer?'’ asked the boy. ‘Didn’tcha know I could a brung it to de door?"’ “Certainly, my lad,’ answered the genticman, ‘‘but that's not the question. That telegram is very important, aud think of the time you wonid have consumed tn walking from the gate to the front door. Why, boy, that two Lours might have meant a million- dollar loss to me.’ What an Eelction n Costs. From the New York Times. It costs the elty of New York one dollar and eleren and some fractions of a cent for every vote cast at a mayoralty election. That is the money actually expended by the Bureau of Elections for the Greater New York in rent of booths, places for the Board of Registry to sit,> polling places and _ the = expenses incidental to the collecting o votes o the greater city. Altogether $676,000 or thereabout were spent by the Bureau of Elections in de- fraying the cost of the last mayoralty cam- paign, and there is no reason to suppose that the figures will show a moderate change in this election Of that amount §250),000 was expend- ed for clerk hire alone. For rent ef places my Iad?’’ called out pulling out a dirty Meier sind “it for the Board of Registry to sit, polling booths, cartage and the repaira of the election appurten- ances £121,000 was paid; $35,000 waa spent for the printing of the ballote and books for regis- tering; 885,000 went for advertising the official hominations ind the various other meattera inet- dental to the election regulated by state, county and city laws; $75,000 was spent in miscellaneous rent hire, for extra belp and the thousand and one things that become necessary two or three Weeks preceding elect.on day. This sum of $676,- 000 divided by the oumber of the actual yotes east, makes the cort about $1.11 a vote. Was a Man of Strict Veracity. From the Memphis Scimitar.

ALWAYS CALLED LUCKY BARRY DES MOINES, Io., Jan. 9.—Gov. L. M. Shaw, the new secretary of the treasury, is being likened by his admirers to Abra- ham Lincoln. He never split rails, but he sawed wood by the cord to earn his way through college, supplementing the income from this source by beating carpets, shov- eling snow, mowing lawns and peddling fruit trees. Like Lincoln, he was noted in youth not for brilliancy, but for plod- ding industry, for - indefatigable energy and for keenness in debate.

All of our Presidents have been in the habit of nted to work up a sentiment |. he has been noted, like Lincoln, as a teller of good stories to illustrate his arguments. The Rev. R. F. Huribut, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Bur- lington, who has long been associated with Gov. Shaw on the board of trustees of Cor- nell Coilege, at Mount Vernon, io., of which institution both are graduates, in an interview gives a Keen insight into Gov. Shaw's character. “The governor was graduated in 1874,” said the Rey. Mr. Huriout. The memory of his marked originaiity, of his quaintness of phrase in putting things, of his Yankee shrewdness—he was born in Vermont—and of his inimitable stories still lingers about that old college hill. He was a keen and ready debater, and in the society contests was amost invariaby on the winning side. He was a witty and incisive talner, anu even thus early had that same terse, epigram- matic style that later in pubic ife made his seneees famous. e “Li many another student of Cornell, he was dependent entirely upon his ow resources. He worked his way throug col.ege, selling fruit trees and books, teach- ing district scnool and doing odd jobs avout town. He sawed wood by the cord, and many an old resident of that little town now tells with relish how the present gov- ernor of Iowa helped to earn his way through Cornell by bending over the saw- buck in his back yas and many a matron tells how she paid him at the rate of 10 cents an hour for beating her carpets at the time of the spring housecleaning. "Bome of the funniest stories [I have ever listened to I heard from Gov. Shaw as he recounted his experience pedling fruit trees for Frank Hart, a Mount Vernon uurseryman, and as*a book agent seiling such books as “The Golden Censer’ and “The Royal Path of Life.’ ‘Like Lincoln, Shaw ceme from the ranks of the common people; like Lincoln, he never felt above them. He is by instinct as well as by education a commoner. Any man from the humbler walks of life who oes into his presence is made to feel per- ectly at home, and receives as cordial a greeting as would some dweller in a brown- stone front. “The Methodist Church is proud of the recognition that has come to one of its most prominent laymen. For years he has n su ntendent of the Sunday school of the church fn his home town, oe his election to tse gevernerent® he has served the First ethodist E Church of Des Moines In the same ca Vv He has long stood high in the councils of the denomination, times a de) te to the general cunTerenca, the highest legislative body of the church.” .MR. M’KINLEY’S BIRTHDAY. Montana's Governor Has Suggested Its Observance by His People. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 38.—Acting on the suggeation of Gov. Nash of Ohio, Gov. Toole has issued an esa er ha in which he and expecting nothing better, he suddenly finds nimself the heir to $250,000, perhaps $350,000. “Lucky” Barry is what his friends began to call him years ago, because he was sin- gularly fortunate in getting good jobs at his business df laying pavements and of finding money and articles of value. His pooees good fortune bears out his reputa- on. Two months ago Mr. Barry read in the newspapers of the death of his father’s brother, Charles M. Barry, in South Africa, and soon after he was notified, through an agent of a New York law firm, that he was one of the heirs to his uncle's estate of Ada Cook, now of Fulton, and four broth- ers—William, Frank, Robert and John. having been four $1,000, 000. Charies M. Barry was a bachelor who formerly lived in the village of Cleveland, in Oswego County. He had one sister, Mrs. After the civil war Charles Barry went to South Africa, became interested in dia- mond mines and finally amassed a fortune. Right after his death, near Pretoria, last fall, United States Consul-General Stowe, while in New York, placed the settlement of Barry's estate in the hands of atttorneys there, with instructions to look up Barry's family, as he left no relatives in South Africa and had made no will. The attorneys found that, of the four brothers and one sister, Mrs. Cook and Robert Barry are living, Willlam and Frank are dead, and the whereabouts of John cannot be ascertained, leaving Mrs. Cook, Robert Barry and William arry’s son, William, Jr., the asphalt worker, heirs to the $1,000,000. If John is iocated he will receive his portion. “My uncle left no will,”’ said Mr. Barry today, “and the estate is to be settled at once. It will take several weeks before everything is straightened out. I have al- ways known of this uncle, but since my father’s death I had heard nothing of him and did not know how much he was worth. There is nothing speculative about his property.” Barry lives tn the rear of a tenement at 801 North State street. With the assistance of his wife he was laboriously writ let- ters on + gC inygremmene table 1 sand en he told about his coming wealth. ‘No, I won't try to be a swell,” he said, “nor will I try to teach Wall street how to make money. I'm no lamb. I'll stay right here, and I won't lose nry head, though my income is $12,000 a year. “When you've knocked about almost from the first you can remember. and worked hard, and been out of a job, and gone hun- gry, and been on the anxious seat for twenty-odd years, you get to ow how much « dollar is: worth."

Brown has bought the first pneumatic aerial truck sold to the fire department of any city in the United States. The truck is managed by two men. One man is fas- tened to the end of the tubular standpipe with a hose or a ladder. A button is and ihe fireman is shot 80 feet into and can be inclined toward any if removing a person from this the tubular standpipe is lowered as quickly by releasing the air and can be shot up again after others. Recorder Brown saw the truck at work in Paris, where it took the first prize. It is used extensively in Germany. A test was made today and fireman Fred Yarniley was shot into the air, lifted an- other fireman from a window and was swiftly lowered again. The trucks are made to reach 150 feet. CLEVELAND ON JACKSON DAY. Its WNon-Observance Is One of the Things That Has Affected Democracy. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. §.—At a Jackson day dinner given by a number of young Democratic lawyers, over which James W. King presided, the following letter from former President Grover Cleveland to know that Democrats_in , | . a day that has been so long and so strongl dedicated to genuine Democratic sent - ments may reasonably, I think, be counted among the afflictive visitations that have lately weakened and depressed our party organization. hope the spirit of true Jacksonian re ey ae « may pervade your celebration, and that its participants may derive satis- faction and stimulation from their efforts to revive and strengthen the principles and practices of our old-time, honest, consistent and aggressive Democratic faith.” Senator David B. Hill in his letter said: Your letter has just reached me. I give you this sentiment: A strict construction of the federal constitution, No entangling al- lances with mm ee a nations, Insistence upon the reserv hts of the state. Pub- lic taxation for public purposes only. Op- osition to monopolies and dangerous com- inations of capital. The preservation of the rerscnal liberty of the citizen. No cen- tralization. Home rule for states and mu- nicipalities. These are Democratic prin- ciples which survive all defeats and must ultimately triumph.” wom ee ee at After Over-Indulgence get your stomach and ‘liver Bridgework ........... iin oul hve .
