The first public meeting of the Police Board held Friday is ex- pected to lead to a thorough investigation by Chief Desmond of charges of grafting against a number of detectives, of / evidence detectives, and said to have been given to them by women. The sblia meeting was a revelation, and resulted in open com- plaints against Chief Kiely and Harry B.

While many feel that Burton will be again convicted, thére ate alsO many who anticipate a hung jury. In afriving at the latter opinion, the weight which the jury will give the tes- timony of Charles H. Brooks, the Gwuv- ernment’s star witness, is taken into considéeraticn. Brovuks testified to a conversation, m1 which he said it was stated to him in Burton's presence that Burton had pre- vented the issuance of a fraud order against the Rialto company. Burton, on the stand, deried the truth of Brooks’ testimony. It was brought out that Brooks had been convicted of operating a scheme to defraud, and attorneys for the defense made an effort to induce Brooks to say that he ha@ been promised favors by the Government for his testimony. Brooks denied this, but the intimation contained in the questions along that line is belleved by some to have had its ettect ween the jury. Atturne ynes in his argument this “a ng rought up the question of the bility of Brooks’ testimony. He also reviewed the indictment, count by count, and compared them with the tcs- timery. The principal feature of Haynes’ ar- gument was that the evidence did not show that Burton attempted in any manner to influence the action of the Postoffice Department in regard to the ialto company, but that it did show all inquiries made by Burton were di- eectr in regard to a criminal charge t Maj.

The answer was a shot which wounded See in the left arm. After repeat- ing the order, one of the robbers said: “Well, if you won't open the door we'll kill you.” let grazed See's left side, just above the hip. Believing killed, See sank to the ground, moan ing: “You have murdered me.’ The cgnvicts now turned their att ention to the door. provided with a small bottle of nitro glycerin. This explosive requires no ignition and no fuse to set it off. Standing back against the inner door and shielding the eyes with their arms, the convicts held the bottles poised in their hands. See, lying on the ground, and supposed by the convicts to be’ dead, was in peril of his life, but dared not move to seek safety. He heard one of the men say: ‘‘Let er go, He fired, and the bul- that he would be Each of them was boys.” BOTTLES HURLED, EXPLOSION SHAKES. Together the four bottles were smashed against the door, and there was an explosion which shook the prion walls. The double iron gate was blown open, and a>hole two-feet in diameter was torn in its northern half. Through the broken gate they rushed out into Water street and ran north toward the Missouri Pacific station, four blocks away. The explosion had aroused the city. Chief of Pélice Toler, Policeman Staihr and John Bruner, a prison guard, led in the chase. _ At the Missouri Pacific tracks the convicts. tried: to shield themselves by running around the station building, their apparent purpose being to cover their retreat until they could reach the river and make a bold attempt to swim across. See joined in the pursuit at this stage. The officers were now close .upon the men, who found themselves in a pocket with the station building on one side and a long freight train on the other. Guard Bruner emptied his re- peating rifle as he ran, and convict Blake fell. Though mortally wounded, Blake attempted to elude Bruner’s fire by crawling under a car. Arthur Lane, driver for the Houck-McTenry Express Co., had just driven up to the station in his wagon. The convicts, seeing that their retreat was cut off on the river side, resolved to make a dash for the woods south of the city. ¥ The three remaining convicts leveled their revolvers at the expressman and jumped into his wagon, ordering him to drive south on Water street back over the route by which they had come. In this the men showed their utter recklessness: The road which they chose to reach the woods took them past the main prison entrance, which they had just blown open. There the guards, aroused by the shooting, had locked the other convicts in-their cells and were preparing to join in the chase. DASH PAST GOVERNOR’S MANSION. Shots were fired at them as they passed the prison at a gallop. Two of the convicts held Lane between themselves and the officers as a shield, and thus probably saved their lives. With policemen and guards in pursuit, the wild ride continued. The con- victs in the wagon shot at passersby and at residents who appeared at win- dows and doors. Seven blocks south, on Water street, they drove, to an offset in the street, which turns to the west at the south end of the Capitol grounds, and then resumes its southward course. At this offset the wagon passed the Governor's Mansion, a few feet to the west. Gov. Folk, tn his office in the Capitol, 100 yards away, did not hear the explosion or the shooting. On went the gareees horses to Madison street, inansion. Here again was almost frenzied daring displayed by the fugitives. They commanded McHenry to turn west into Madison street, the city’s busiest ang m@st crowded thoroughfare. Straight to the south lay at least a chance of freedom in the woods. Just before Madison street was reached, Charles Raymond, one of the con- victs, was wounded and fell from the wagon. This left only Vaughn and Ryan to be disposed of. Two blocks west of Water street, © n Madison street, is the Madison Ho- tel, in front of which a number of citizens and guests were assembled. Among these were George Walthers, G erhart Crevelt and Leonard Green. As the wagon approached the hotel the th ree young men ran out to check the flight of the convicts. two blocks south of the Green, who was unarmed, ran to th e middle of the street and grasped the bridle reins of the galloping horses, holding on desperately and forcing them to stop. Walthers .covered Ryan and Vaugh n with his revolver and demanded that they surrender. The answer was a volley of shots from the onvicts, and unstrung and all their bullets went wide. Vaughn, revolver in hand, jumped from the wagon and attempted to shoot Green, who still held the horses, but his weapon amnissed fire, and Green lunged forward, pinioned the convict’s arms and took ihe revolver from him. Ryan, meanwhile, had surrendered to Walther. The two young men held their prisoners at the éntrance to the hotel until the wfficers arrived. Policeman Staihr, who had obtained a light buggy to aid him in the pur- suit, was the first to arrive. FOLK QUESTIONS DYING MAN IN VAIN. Vaughn and Ryan were driven to the Penitentiary in the wagon which they had used in their attempt to escape. On the way back. Raymond, who still lay wounded in the street, was picked up. Penitentiary guards searched the railroad yards for Blake, who was known to be wounded, and found him lying under a freight car. Blake died in the Penitentiary hospital four hours later, afte? Gov.

BLASTS SHAKE HOUSES

Not the First Action Taken Against Atlantic Com- pany: Mrs. Rose Ryan filed a damage and injunction suit in the Circuit Court on Saturday against the Atlantic Quarry and Construction Co. and against Felix Anderson of 4319 Washington boulevard. Mrs. Ryan states in her petition that she owns property at Montrose avenue and Adams street, the value of which is being steadily diminished by the opera- tion of a quarry owned by the Atlantic company, at the corner of Bernard street and Montrose avenue. She says the blasting of the rock shakes the foundations of her property, which consists of a row of three-story houses; that in time she fears they will tumble. down and that her tenants are threatening to move. The petition also alleges that the iine white dust froin the reck crusher Is wafted into the windows of all the houses in the neighborhood, making cleanliness impossible. Besides this, it injures all the plants and shruodwery in the neighborhood... It also staics that @ locomotive which hauls the rock “way puffs smoke all over the neigiLorhe rd. She asks for $1500 damages anc for an injunction to prevent purthes operation of the quarry. Anderson is named 15 4 co-defendant because of the fact that he owns the property now occupied »y the construction company. The suit of Mrs. Ryan is but one of @ number of attempts made by the resi- dents in the nigh borhood of the quarry to drive away what they consider 4 nuisance. During the last six months several injunction suits have been filed by different preperty owners atliu resi- dents in the neighbrohood. Last June the Post-Dispatch published interviews with several of the property owners and residents, who were protesting against the operation of the quarry. All of the injunction suits filed so far have been set aside.

A score of claimants have. come for- ward and presented their rights to a share of the estate of the man who it was thought at the time died without a surviving relative. H. A: Forman, administrator of the estate, has re- ceived letters from a dozen States, the writers all claiming to be “closely re- lated.’’ At the time of the old recluse’s death a will, dated the day before Ferguson died, was produced by Wil- liam Wagoner, an Illinois neighbor of Ferguson. According to this docu- ment all the property, $45,000 in cash and bonds, was left to Wagoner. William L. Ferguson of Seelyville, Pa., contended that Alexander was his brother and the depositions filed in Probate Court Saturday are in support oe claim. am says he is the only member of his father's family now Siiee, and that he and four children Of his sis- ter, gon eg 4 erguson Somers, are the y rs to e prope ander Ferguson. re ee In his deposition William tells of each member of the family, and gives the date of éach death as it o¢curred.

It is-a small thing, but I\was hampered by orders from Chief Kiely in the matter of carfare. I was kept out of tickets for two months just after Chief Kiely got sore at me about politics. I told Chief Des- mond that my car tickets had not come. He told me to make application. I did and the application went across to Chief Kiely. I did not get the tickets. I toki Chief Desmond, and another ap- plication wes made. I was then told that you had stricken my name from the list. This information came from Chief Kiely’s secretary, Weta R. Faulkner Jr.’’. “Did you speak to me about the tick- ets?’ Chief Kiely inquired. “You know I did not. You know I never spoke to you save when I was sent for by you or I was sent by Chief Desmond. ; “Tl know that on election day I was kert in the office. “Chief Kiely was in on this scheme to job me. He was at Charley Narcise’s place with these fellows three weeks ago, when this: conspiracy was framed up against me.’ Assistant Chief of Detectives Keely arose and started to make a state- ment. He was told that he mignt; ask questions, but he would be given an opportunity later to make a statement. “Well, were not my orders the same as Chief Desmond's to you?” asked Keely. “No. You told me not to arrest any- body out of the Douglas Club.” “Did I not tell you to arrest anybody in any of those plates whenever they were violating thé law, but not to mo- lest them s0 long as there were no vio- lations?” “No. You never said anything about violations. You told me to not arrest anybody from there. And you releaseds many that 4 did arrest. I did not com- plain to Chief Desmond about you be- cause I did not went to appear as a snitch.” / Desmoud Makes Reply. At the conclusion of Gordon’s defense Chief Desmond,was asked by President Stewart if he wished to make a state- ment. “T do,” replied Chief Desmond as he advanced to the railing in front of the Commissioners. He was then sworn to tell the truth by Mr. Stewart. “My statement is this,” began the chief. ‘hen Gordon came into my office for the first time after his ap- pointment and introduced himself to me I advised him among other things to keep out of politics. “You are to get out and bring in crooks,’ I told Gordon. “You must ¢on- fine yourself strictly to police duty, and whatever you do keep out of politics. Don’t play any favorites, don't have anything to do with politicians. If you folluw my instructions you and I will get along all right, but if you dabble in politics then you and I will fall out.’ “since that time I have repeated my advice to Gordon time and time again. ‘In regard to me ng him instruc- Seda to go to the office of Mr. Hawes, I remember telling him to go there, but I was ordered to send him.

OR PAY FOR INSARE No Fund to Pay State, No Room in the Local Asylum.

NEW BUILDING NEEDED

Assembly Will Be Asked to Pass an Emergency Bill. Unless the Municipal Assembly has- tens to pass an ordinance appropriat- ing $8000 for the maintenance of & in- Sane patients at the State Asylum at Farmington, they may be sent back to St. Louis. If these patients were returned to the city, neither the Insane Asylum nor the Poorhouse, both overcrowded, would have a place for them. At the Poor- house there are now 872 incurable In- Sane and 555 paupers—the largest num- ber of either class ever in the institu- tion. There are 68 patients at the asy- lum and & in the Farmington. The money for the.maintenance of the city's charges in Farmington is over- due the State now, but there is not a .cent to meet the obligation. The Municipal Assembiy appropriated $8000 May 6, with the expectation that before the sum was exkausted the city would nave a new building in which to house the 100 patienis transferred to the State institution. The bill for the care of those patients had to be paid to the State in ad- vance. The appropriation is now ex- hausted, and the city owes the State several hundred dollars. The biil is growing daily. For. the maintenance of insane pa- tients at the Farmington institution St. Louis pays the State $11 a month each. To care for a patient at the City Asy- lum costs $15 a month. An ordinance providing for an addi- tional contingent fund, from which the State’s bill may be paid, will be pre- sented to the Municipal Assembly next week. Later the Board of Health will recommend the erection of a new build- ing, even ff the bond ordinance, in which the improvement is contemplated, should fail of passage.

LEAPS THROUGH WINDOW

Garroter Chokes Benefactor and Takes $25 From His Pocket. Peter Probst of 4364 Swan avenue, us- ing his bicycle as a weapon, put to flight a robber who attacked him 4s he was riding home from the 8t. Louis Car Wheel Co.'s office. When he was opposite the Tamm glue factory he saw a man coming east on the narrow path. Probst shouted to him to get out of the way, but the man made no reply. When he came within reach the man seized the bicycle by the handle bars and threw Probst from the wheel. When Probst regained his footing the man demanded his money. Probst, wresting the wheel from the mnan’s hands, raised it over his head and struck the’ highwayman in the face. His assailant fell to his knees, and before he could get up Probst used his fists, felling the man witha blow on the jaw. The highwayman arose and was knocked down the second time. Probst kicked him in the face and allowed him to get up. The man fied south over the tracks and disappeared. Probst called a policeman, who gave chase, but failed to overtake the high- wayman. Jumps Through Glass. Mrs. Mary Huelett of 6928 Oleatha avenue ran screaming toward a bur- glar whom she discovered Friday evening in her room, in the act of taking jewelry and money, and the man Jumpeg through a second-story window, taking the sash with him. He alighted uninjured, apparently, scaled a high fence and made his es- cape. : Several rings and $20 were taken. Mrs. Huelet, who boards - with the family of B. F. Wallis, went into her room just before the dinner hour and found the man putting money from a small safe into his pocket. He had climbed a porch pillar. A garroter for whom Benjamin Cle- ments, living at the’ Erie House, bought supper Friday evening in com- pliance with his plea for aid, later choked his benefactor almost into un- consciousness at Eighth and Walnut streets and took $25 from him. Clements met the man on Walnut street, near Ninth, and was touched by his request for money to buy some- thing to eat. Instead of giving him the money he imitated Van Bibber and took the man to a restaurant near by, where both ate heartily. Dur- ing the stroll which followed Cle- ments was attacked. Two Years for Purse Snatcher. “Greasy” Joe Holmes, a negro purse snatcher, pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery in the first degree befor Judge Reynolds Friday afternoon and was sentenced to two years in ‘the Penitentiary. Holmes was arrested Sept. 22 after robbing Miss Emma Williams of 3114 Morgan street, near her home. He took $3 and a purse containing a num- ber of small trinkets. Arthur E. Morris of 4527 Cook ave- nue, 27 years old, is under arrest charged with embezzling $2 from. John M. Boland, a stationer at 420 North Fourth ' street. Mr. Boland gave a purchaser two marked $1 bills to use, and they were not found in thé cash drawer. Morris says he only put them in his pocket temporarily, until he could straighten the stock, and had no intention of keeping them. Dora Williams 0 820 Chambers street, 19 years o]d, is under arrest on complaint of Fred Kicker, manager of the Grand Leader, who charges that she. took five lace collars, a chiffon remnant and a pair of kid gloves, val- ued in all at $9. Frank King of 1809 Wash street is under arrest charged with the theft. of a watch and two rings from the room of Miss Pearl Conkling at 3432 Laclede avenue. The rings were found hidden behind a water pipe in his room. Review of Rev. Grimshaw’s spiritual- istic lecture of last Sunday, by C. W. Stewart. Demonstrations of Immortali- ty by Rev. Josie K.

‘Men Must Be Pacified if Ex- pected to Work,” Say Chiefs. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 2%.—The Herald prints today a letter -from a _ special correspondent at Panama, in part as follows: “The recent importation of 300 negro women from Martinique and the state- ment that more are to be brought by the canal commission officiais in charge of the labor branch of the work have stirred up the Americans of the isth- mys. “These ministers are the course of the officials. They declare the only way to straighten out the whole transaction is to stop women and to compel those now here to marry or go back. The canal officials say they are compelled to pacify the laborers, and point out that ceremonial marriages are alniost unknown among blacks in Caribbean lands. ‘In order to keep the negroes at work on the canal the commission, through its branch of labor and quarters, sent agents to Jamaica and Martinique to bring to the isthmus as many negro women as wished to come. They were oftered free transportation on an American vessel, and the promise of food ard guarters until they could pro- vide for themselves. There was no trouble “in Martinique in getting to- gether 300, and these arrived at Colon on-the steamship Floridan a few days ago. indignant at Riot When Boat Lands. ‘“‘Negro laborers along the canal were greatly excited when they heard the women were coming. Work was gener- ally deserted and thousands flocked to the wharf days before the Floridan was due. The steamship’s appearance in the bay started a riot. The.men fought with one another for advantageous po- ‘sitions on the dock. “As a matter of form the women were told to point out their ‘husbands,’ but the officials themselves tell many 4 story of how women were given out that shows how transparents is the claim that any serious effort was made to allow the men to take only these women whom they had left behind in Martinique, and how fallacious the promise that other women who accom- panied these so-called married women would be put to work in American fami. lies. wie: man, come leave promise that married. ‘The importation of these women and others to come is warmly defended by Henry Burnett, who, in the absence of Jackson Smith, is acting chief of tne branch of labor and quarters. When asked what excuse there was for bring- ing these women to the isthmus, he replied: “

St. Louis can never become a commercial Colossus by straddling the free bridge proposition. + —_~7_~_~ Mr. Anderson doesn’t seem to understand that we have hauled down the American flag in the Isle of Pines.

=~ = The charges of police “graft” made by dismissed Detective Gordon open the way to a thorough in- vestigation. The reorganized Police Board cannot better begin its reform work than by a searching inquiry concerning all charges affecting the police department. ——

ee > ee TONIGHT’S MASS MEETING. The popular demonstration at the Odeon tonight in favor of a free bridge promises to be the most notable expression of public sentiment that has oc- eurted in St. Louis. The meeting has been planned by and will be held under the auspices of representatives of all the business organizations of the city. Gov. Folk will be the principal speaker and on the platform every phase of the city’s civic and business activi- ties will be represented. While the free bridge is the slogan and the ob- jective point of the campaign the mass meeting is in effect a tremendous protest against the bridge arbitrary which has hampered St. Louis commerce from the beginning of bridge traffic over the Mis- sissippi. It will give notice to the railroad combine that St. Louis is determined to be free of bridge tolls. The railroads in the combine should see the handwriting on the wall and do justice to St. Louis. They should join the movement for new, free St. Louis. ee ee we A: report has come to this office that a woman is; collecting money for the Post-Dispatch Christmas No one is authorized to collect meney for the fund. The Post-Dispatch neither employs nor authorizes general collectors for that purpose. After the hospital Saturday and Sunday collections the Post-Dispatch will, as it has done in previous years, distribute subscription lists to busi- ness houses and reputable persons to be filled in by those desiring to contribute. It will send reliable persons, authorized by letters, signed by the editor, to feceive the sums contributed when so requested. The safe rule in contributing to the fund is for the contributors to give money only to persons known to them, or specifically in writing authorized by the Post-Dispatch to receive it. When in doubt, tele- phone this office.

a» . ». = A QUESTION OF EQUALITY. The Equality Club protests against the proposed dismissal of women stenographers from the munici- pal service. Mrs. Louise Werth, president of the club, goes farther and thinks that women should be members of the House of Delegates. Every woman to her taste, but when a woman asserts her right to membership in the honorable House of Delegates on the ground that she is equal to the honorable members thereof, a grave question arises. ak It seems a modest claim. It is humble. If the Equality Club and its president had asserted equal- ‘ity with the justices. of the United States Supreme ‘Court or the President and his Cabinet officers, the ‘claim might have been disputed by thoughtful peo- sple who have great respect for those eminent public servants, but- the ladies of the Equality Club would at least get credit for high aims and a superb self- respect. But the St. Louis House of Delegates! What ‘humility! . However, if they insist; the majority of men will ‘aequiesce for politeness’ sake. But what is the husband of the Equality Club woman going to say ‘and do about it—or father, or brother, or son?

i i : The House of Delegates finally succumbed to the ‘junket fever and passed the bill appropriating $2000 fer a grade crossing junket. What is there that ‘a committee of city legislators can learn about gtade crossings that will be of value to the city which they cannot learn by reports? It is admit- ted by all that under or over crossings must be ‘Substituted for grade crossings, and all other questions are merely engineering problems to which the legislators can contribute nothing. The $2000 ean be better applied than on the expenses of a useless junket. - --_ — 4 i lit $10,000 AND A KISS. ‘Duty should be a pleasure, the moralists and philosophers tell us, and we should expect no re- ward of merit, no for-a-good-boy testimonial, such as is sometimes given in village schools. We should do our duty because it is right. 2 . But Fortune, which is not always the frowning goddess she appears to some men, is sometimes in

a lavish mood, and at auch times she bestows favors upon mankind when they are least expected, and with such a grace as to be memorable. Happy the man who encounters her thus! | - Guch S maw te Br. Heber Jones, president of the Board of Health of Memphis, Tenn. During the re- cent scourge he thanaged to keep his city free from yellow fever, and his fellow citizens were so grateful that they subscribed $10,000 as a testomonial to his good work. A beautiful society woman, wife of a millionaire, made the presentation speech, handed Dr. Jones the money and immediately added an un- told amount to his riches by kissing him squarely on the mouth. O fortunate, thrice fortunate, Dr. Jones. “He seen his duty and he done it,” and that virtue brought_its own reward, “heaped up, shaken down and running over.” O enviable Jones! The most important question in connection with the murderous revolt. in the Penitentiary relates to the smuggling into the prison of ammunition and explosives for the use of the prisoners. If the desperadoes who participated in Friday’s terror had not been supplied with arms, ammunition and

explosives, the break-out with its accompaniment of murders would not have occurred. The discipline of the institution needs a thorough overhauling. It is difficult to conceive of such conditions as were disclosed by this terrible event without official con- nivance of some kind.

rT re THOUGHT AT HIGH VOLTAGE. Manager McChesney of the Terminal Association has a large brain. It is a brain of the maximum voltage. It is also a brain capable of the best results of double action. When he wants it to work directly towards a given point, it does it. When he re- verses it and starts it to working away from the given point, it works just as efficiently backwards as forwards. , It worked backwards up to its highest voltage when Mr. McChesney was getting away from the question of why the Belt road is not completed. He shows that the Terminal company does not need it now. He proves it sq no one can doubt it. St. Louis needs it now, however, worse than when the franchise was granted and will go on needing it worse and worse every month for the new facto- ries and new businesses of all kinds we might get if we had it. This is the question Manager McChesney’s brain works away from so astonishingly after he has re- versed it. ; A double-action brain of maximum voltage is use- ful for a Terminal Association manager. Admira- tion for its operation, however, can not really con- vince us that a Belt road grows useless to the city as soon as it has granted the franchise for it. i i i ~~ Sara Bernhardt has written a book in which there is a marvelous chapter on St. Louis. She visited while here a most wonderful cave in which there were thousands of eyeless fish, Where? Well, read the Sunday Post-Dispatch tomorrow in which the fair Sara’s own story will appear in full.

nh hip h —- = = O, MOST ADMIRABLE CHIEF! Chicago’s Chief of Police, not having a congress of burglars and highwaymen on his hands, and there- fore not being distracted from the contemplation of things esoteric, has turned his attention to art. His conclusion is that art, as seen in the public parks, the Art Institute and Field Columbian Museum, is wrong and hurtful to public morals. “Every nude statue in public view should be draped,” says Chief Collins, “especially a statue of a woman.

As it is, she can only stand, with the rest of us, and mutely wonder at the learning of this uncommon official, who is not only able to keep the burglars and high- waymen at a distance—presumably shooing them in the direction of St. Louis, where they are now hold- ing full sway—but to guide an admiring public into the ways of morality and peace. The prompt dismissal of eleven “hazing” students from Culver Military Academy is highly creditable to that institution. Its example should be followed by every other school where outrages. are perpe- trated.

| ROLLING CHEESES, | A usual

N American passing an Italian settlement saw a group of men who were doing something un- to his eyes. One of them shouted “Gamba!” which the spectator was informed afterward meant **Legs!”’ or, in the American vernacular, “‘Down front!” The group scattered a little. A disk several inches thick, a foot or more in diameter and a disk shade of yeliow in color rolled across the peb- bled ground from its center. The heavy disk plowed its way for several rods toward a set mark. It fell on its side several feet“ short of the mark. One of the men marked the spot at which its journey ended, and the cheese, for such the disk proved to be, was carried back to the group. A second man took it up, much as he would a bowling bail, and, shout- ing “Gamba! at a grimy Italian youngster who had run teward the mark which the last roller had at- tained, he threw it forward on its edge. He beat the first roller by several inches. The others in turn rolled the cheese, some sending it beyond, some falling short. The man who had rolled the cheese nearest to the mark tucked the disk, now somewhat grimy from much trundling over the ground of the park, under his arm and walked away with it. The spectator, much interested, talked with one of the Italians who could speak English with some degree of in- telligence, and found that they had been playing one of several games which are played with cheeses in Southern Italy. kwach of them had paid the piper after the fashion in Italy by contributing to the purchase price of the cheese, with the understanding that he who won should have it as his reward. Eating a cheese after it has done service as a road roller has no terrors for the Southern Italian. This son of Southern Italy explained that at the cuccagna, or ‘‘timekiller,” as his compatriots aptly term an after- noon of sports, the formaggio, or cheese, is frequently found on the sport- ing fleld. At the Festa della Madon- na, or the Feast of the Madonna, in Abruzzi, Calabria, which has so lately been turned into a land of mourning by the earthquakes and storms, and at Puglie, it is no unusual thing :to see a man diligently trying to shin up a besmeared pole. While some might think that the two caclocavalll stuck on top were not sufficient reward for soaking one’s clothes with grease, the Italian does not hesitate on this ac- count to undertake the task of reach- ing the small cheeses. The caviocavalli is a small cheese, shaped somewnat iike han incandescent electric light globe. The Italians use this cheese in another game, which develops the biceps. They throw it with all the might and main of the man who jumped into a bush. Each thrower endea

T its most reeent meeting the Once-a-Week Book Club devoted its at- tention to Rendall Parrish’s new novel, “A Sword of the Old Frontier,” published by A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago. “Draw and defend yourself!” cried the Artist to the Literary Grain Broker. ‘‘Pardieu! but we're back again to the days when I've a gallant right to tickle your ribs with my rapier !’’ “Not on your life!” promptly replied the Literary Grain Broker. ‘I en- joy reading of such things, but it’s distance that lends enchantment to the view. This is a rattling good story, however.’’ “And with ite seenes Jaid co near to St. Louis, too,” remarked the High its action placed in “a Kaskaskia, just below St. Louis on the river.” ) “And the third chapter brings the story even nearer to us,” said the former Congressman, ‘‘and pictures Fort Chartres, with more than one of the ol4 Cahokia residents, right across the river, figuring in the tale. That's getting pretty close to home. You can go to that scene by trolley.” -“Den't forget,” suggested the Kindergarten Director, “that Pontiac, the principal Indian character in Mr. Parrish’s new novel, is supposed to be bur- jed under the Southern Hotel. We'll all have to visit the Southern rotunda and read that inscription on the tablet ‘marking the spot’ again.”’ “I mean to look up some additional facts about that ‘comely matron,’ Madame Lecomte of Cahokia, who was so influential with the Indians,” said The Girl. “I confess I don’t know a thing in the world about her—and it’s a shame to be so ignorant of a dead-and-gone neighbor.”’ “That's one of the beauties of historical fiction,’’ commented the Literary Grain Broker. ‘‘Most of us refuse flat-footed to read history after our school days, but all of us read historical novels, judging from the way they sell. So, after all, we're taught in spite of ourselves.”’ “What I like about Randall Parrish,’ spoke the Artist, “is that his heroes gre such touch-and-go fighters. It was so in his first book, ‘When Wilder- ness Was King’—and in this new story, why, bless your life, we've barely been introduced to young Raoul de Coubert before he springs at Black Pe- ter’s throat and has a perfectly beautiful combat. One gets his money's worth with such a hero.” “And Ike all pugnacious heroes,” Pointed out the High School Teacher, “he’s ag geod at love-making as at fighting. There's a touch of D’Artag- nan bimself in the way De Coubert Wings the favor of two delightful young women before the first 20 pages are PaSseq. I felt sure of good entertainment from that moment.” “Zou ought to be ashamed of yourself,” laughed the Literary Grain Bro- ker. “What would the High School girls and boys think if they heard you?’ “They won't hear me,” replied the High School Teacher. “But that’s an- other stery. Doesnt it strike you, upOn reflection, that ‘A Sword of the Old Frontier’ ise distinctly reminiscent of ‘When Wilderness Was King?’ ”’ “Yes,”’ took up the Kindergarten Director. ‘And specially in that swag- gering march of De Coubert through the ranks of the hostile Ottawas to come face to face with Pontiac-the way in Which he struck them with his bare fists and cowed them by sheer hardihood. That was certainly: a twin picture to the progress of the hero of ‘When Wiiderness Was King’ into old Fort Dear- bern—one couldn't help noticing the resemblance.”’ “Oh, well, of course, the two books may be more or less alike,’ agreed the Artist. “Byt what can an author do? Given stories of early frontier life to write, a lot of Indians and ‘couriers du bois,’ a detachment or so of French and English soldiers, a few American riflemen and a pretty girl or two in dis- tressand how can you keep one story from being like unte another? It fen’t fair to demand a wide difference in product made from the same mate- rial.”’ . “Especially when the earlier product has gone into its seventh edition,” “Business is business-and its cardinal principle is to learn what the market demands and then make the supply meet “You people are the most cold-blboded readers I ever knew,” protested The Girl. “I enjoyed Mr. Parrish’s last story immensely, and I thought he Grew two lovely girls in Rene and Alene.” “So he did,” conceded the Artist. “But, to save my life, I couldn't tell for a while whether it was Rene or Alene with whom Raoul de Coubert was in love.” “Oh, pshaw, that’s absurd,” exclaimed The Girl. “The very first dance with them at the Fort Chartres ball made that clear. He merely flirted with Rene, just as he would have done with any pretty girl—but he fell heels over heed in love with Alene at the very start.” “How do you know that?’ asked the Literary Grain Broker. ‘Because it hurt him s6 when she flouted him afterward,’ answered The Le Ps « , i an i eye : ‘ ee z back ry 6 ee * ; ay Cla eee #>, 4) 3 Lage side-2 G a Fe % aite cee os ie 5 Fags : $s e 4 ty oe ‘ = Ey. re wy Sg ; , : : : pee SS ee 5 i Recs epee me eee Se as Betas.

Grain Broker contentedly. “Nevertheless,” remarked the High School Teacher, “she. seemed fairly happy in the ‘ast chepter.’’ “Of course,” said The Girl. FROM THE CONDEMNED CELL. HEN Clarence S$. Darrow, champion of the under dog and disciple of Tolstel, wrote his book “‘Resist Not Evil,” the reviewers looked at it askance, because it was couchedin sermonic style. It was a preachment, and although sineere and able, it did not attract. But his newest book, “An Eye for An Eye,” is of another stamp. As de- scribed on the wrapper, it is “the story of 2 murder and its penalty, told in the murderer’s own words to a friend who sits up with him in prison the night before the hanging.’’ In the “Ballad of Reading Gaol,’’ Oscar Wilde tried to enter into the feel- ings of the condemned murderer, to show his shame and his utter abandon- ment by society. But Wilde was a transient prisoner and his tale of woe is in the main personal. Darrow, in his experience as criminal lawyer, has doubt- less listened to the confession of the murderer more than once and certamly in this narrative he seems to give us a picture cf the mental and physical hor- rors that enguif the condemned murderer which, if not an exact transcript of an actual confession, is at least the next thing to personal experience. Of course, Mr. Darrow’s object in this picture of blackest tragedy is to show precisely what it means for organized society to deliberately take human life. And he does it by telling fie story from the victim’s standpoint, with- out any moral but that which is self-evident. As many anothér man has done, this condemned man is to go to the gadl- lows for a crime committed in the white heat of anger, over a trifling matter, the burning of a steak by his wife. But onc sees how this offense is only the last act of a drama of squalid day-by-day misery, such as the poor are com- pelled to suffer continually, and that the blow which ended the wife’s recrim- inations was but the outward and visible sign of two lives already destroyed piecemeal by poverty and ignorance. Hence, when the State, deliberately and ceremoniously, in cold blood, visits vengeance upon the surviving victim of this complication of heredity, neglect and environment, it appears to many thinkers to be the greater of- fender against justice. And this is the lesson Mr. Darrow is trying to teach. But there is more than the effect of the punishment upon the prisoner, even if condemned to death. He has already suffered that psychological tor- ture so ably described by Dickens in the case of the murderer of Bill Sykes. The infliction of the death penalty may be to him but a relief from all his troubles. The effect upon the rest of us is, perhaps much worse. “One thing I noticed a good deal that I never thought anything about un- til that feller came and. spoke,” says the condemned man, “that was how the outsiders was really the ones that got punished the worst. It. was really sickening to see how some of them poor women would cry and take on be- cause their man was in jail, and how they’d work and scrub night and day and nearly kill themselves to earn money to get him out; and then the little children that come to see their fathers, how they’d stay out of school and work in the packin’ houses and laundries and do anything for a little money to help them out. Hones’ly, I believe if anyone stays ’round here for a week he'll see that the people that ain't done nothin’ is punished a good deal more than the others.’’ The murderer himself has a child, about whose future he is concerned, just as any innocent father might be. Is it possible that a murderer has these human feelings, on the brink of the fata] drop? Is it true of all of us that. : “None can tell to what red Hell His sightless soul may stray.” Is it not presumptuous for Jim Jackson, who has slain. the chiid’s mother, to moralize to the effect that “It seems as if the State had ought to do something for a child when the State kill fts father that way, but it don’t unless they sends him to a poorhousSe, or something like that.”’ Of course, this is silly sentimentality. And yet—read Darrow’s book, or rather, put yourself in the condemned man’s place, as you can hardly help doing if you read “An Eye For An Eye,” and you may become as Senti- mental on this subject as Clarence Darow himself. THE COLORING IS BY IBSEN. TD we not have Mr. G. Bernard Shaw's assurance that “The Irrational D Knot” was written before he had read a line of Ibsen, it would be held a mere echo of the great Norwegian individualist’s satire. Since the chattering egotist has never been caught lying, we must accept his word for it and credit the Ibsentsm inhim in considerable degree to his own genius. . 2 Like ‘‘The Master Builder,” ‘“‘The Enemy of Society,” ‘‘The Pillars of So- ciety’’ and ‘‘Hedda Gabler,”’ ‘Shaw’s novel is a protest, in the form of a satire, against the slavery of conventional morality; and a powerful protest it is, you in the face? low,’’ and I told him he looked the part. ried man madly in love with me. Who is it? new cloak I want?’’ excited—it’s yourself.”’ CHANGE COLOR There are certain Arctic animals, dark-coated in the short summer, that in winter turn pure white, thus match- ing the snow-covered landscape and es- caping notice and harm. This change of color, this protection, effected no one knows how, is wonder- ful, as wonderful as a miracle, and yet a kindred change of color, a kindred protection, happens among mankind every summer and nobcody ever no- tices it. ; When the nale city people go out in the summer sun of the seashore or the mountains the light attacks them fierce- ly, first reddening their skin, then swell- ing, blistering and scorching it. If they kept in the sun enough and if no mir- acle occurred the light would kill them finally, burning off the skin first and afterward attacking the raw flesh. But a miracle does occur. The skin changes from a pale color to a tan and on this tan the sun has no effect. The sun may beat on tan-colored skin for days and weeks, but such skin remains always sound, unblistered, whole. To prove the miracle—to prove that it is not the darkening of the skin, but the change in its color which protects it from sunburn—is an easy matter. Let a pale person, unused to the sun, stain one side of his face yellow, and, leaving the other side untouched, go out, in the bright summer sun for a couple of hours. The one sidé of his face is ‘no tougher, no more hardened than the other, yet the unstained side Policeman: Why did thai man strike Smith: He said he was an “Odd Fel- ~ DIPLOMACY.

Sunburn is a miracle, a protection to mankind, as inexplicable and as won- derfu] as the miracle of the Arctic ani- mals’ change in the winter from dark coats to snow-white ones.

He has quality, not rank, and by vir- tue of his quality he demonstrates his aristocracy. He is isolated; he has no ties, and needs none. But he marries a woman of the conventional aris- tocracy—it appears to be a love match, and the irrational knot brings hap- piness to neither. But after she falls he offers to take her back, pleads with her to return to him, on the unconventional groynd that now she is isolated, an outcast, and therefore free. Freedom, according to his ideasy is essential to true love. He is free and therefore strong, or perhaps it will CAUSE FOR ALA appear to many readers that he is free because he is strong enough to dom- ae ee LF inate other men and get the world under his feet. # Sf ;— a ig Ap was Conolly and his sister are both free, but somehow both miss the fruits of ast oe Ape ae freedom, which is peace—peace in the midst of the most strenuous, pur- , posefu] action; and here is where te followers of Ibsen stray from the high road which he surveyed. They think with rapture of the master builder, but they forget the crown of Ibsen's philosophy, ““The Lady From the Sea.” It is curious to note how the wild and whirring Ibsenists neglect the final lesson, which is freedom with responsibility, responsibility with free- dom. Probably the old Norwegian sage has many a Kugh at the shrill echoes which come back to him of his thought minus the keystone idea, and G. Ber- nard Shaw is no exception. The notion that freedom and responsibility are antithetical and inseparable has never entered his head, and few Ibsenists have considered the thought of the “Lady from the Sea.” So “The Irrational Knot’’ is Ibsenish without the essential of Ibsen’s thought.

By remarkable - activity during a lows: : week's absence of Mr. Finney, the lat- goes vere. ter says, Lehrberg collected an im- mense amount of money by his fraud- ulent scheme. Lehrberg,. Finney says, represented himself to be possessed of authority to sell a limited number of policies to prominent St. Louis business men for sust 10 per cent of the regular pre- mium. The purpose, he expldined, was to make a showing of a great increase in business in Missouri. Finney esti- mates that 200 persons, at lease, were made victims in this manner for amounts ranging from $25 to $100. Dr. Gustave Lippman of the Cen- tury Building, the company’s medica] examiner, makes examinations only on direction from the State manager. Lehrberg, Finney says, knew this by reason of one week's employment two years ago. He went to Dr. Lippmann Saying that during a temporary ab- sence of Manager Finney he was to inake examinations of all applicants brought before him by Lehrberg. Dr. Lippman says he made 40 or 50 examinations, many of them of prom- inent St. Louisans, between Novy. 11 and Nov. 16. Prominent Men His Victims. Many inquiries as to policies written by lLehrberg haye come to the com- pany’s office of men who were not ex- amined by Dr. Lippman, and it is be- lieved that many applicants were given bogus examinations. The fact that something was wrong was first discovered in the sencral cf- fices of the company at Indianapoils, to which Dr. Lippman’s reports are sent before being seen by the local agents. When reports of examinations cauie in, withetit applications having been re- ceived, the company made jnquiry of the St. Louis office and the scheme was discovered. It is alleged against Lehrberg also that he drew up-at least one bogus insur- ance policy and attempted to sell it, failing because the intended victiin not- the unusual celerity with which it was obtained.

al Miss Josephine Karch Killed on Missouri Pacific Railroad Near Woodlawn. CONFUSED BY TRAINS Trying to ‘Avoid One, She Is Struck by the Other. Miss Josephine Karch, who was killed by a westbound Missouri Pacific pas- penger train as she stepped from the eastbound tracks to avoid a train near Oakland Station, Friday afternoon, was the third person killed in this manner ~~ — within a month on the tracks of the ‘Missouri Pacific in St. Louis County. John E. Meyers of 7306 Elm avenue, Maplewood, was killed Monday in al- most the same way, and ago an unidentified man to death near Kirkwood. Miss Karch was on her way from the home of John P. Schmitz of Woodlawn to the residence of John Erker. near Oakland Station, half a mile east. To shorten the way she walked east along the. Missouri Pacife tracks. Four hundred feet west of Oakland Station a construction train appeared. The engineer sounded the whistle sev- eral times, and Miss Karch stepped Was ground ‘from the eastbound to the westbound ‘track. A fast mall train, hidden from her View by a sharp curve and a cut five feet deep, dashed towards her. The Bhrieking of one engine’s whistle and the noise of the thundering passenger | confused” helpless ! train are thought to have her. She stood apparently until struck by the locomotive.

Two hundred business men of St. Louis are said to have been swindled and to have lost a total of several thou- sand dollars at the hands of Charles K. Lehrberg, aged 50 years, who obtained

Alderman !

the money by writing life insurance pol- | icies in the name of a company with which he had no connection. A warrant charging forgery has been issued against Lehrberg, and detectives are searching for him. The warrant was sworn to by Dr. G. H. Wilson of 2610 North Tenth street, who alleges that he lost $60, but the search for Lehrberg is being conducted at the expense of J. E. Finney, State Manager for the Interstate Life Assur- jp ance Co., which company’s name is said to have been used by Lehrberg. Claimed Special Authority. By remarkable activity during a week's absence of Mr. Finney, the lat- ter says, Lehrberg collected an im- mense amount of money by his fraud- ulent scheme. ) Lehrberg,. Finney says, represented himself to be possessed of authority to sell a limited number of policies to | prominent St. Louis business men for Just 10 per cent of the Railroads Appeal to Supreme | : regular pre- mium. The purpose, he explained, was to make a showing of a great increase in business in Missouri. Finney esti- mates that 200 persons, at lease, were made victims in this manner for imounts ranging from $25 to $100. Dr. Gustave Lippman of the Cen- }tury Building, the company’s medical exuminer, makes examinations only on direction from the State manager. Lehrberg, Finney says, knew this by reason of one week's employment two years ago. He went to Dr. Lippmann Saying that during a temporary ab- sence of Manager Finney he was to inake examinations of all applicants brought before him by Lehrberg. Dr. Lippman says he made 40 or 50 examinations, many of them of prom- inent St. Louisans, between Nov. 11 and Nov. 16. Prominent Men His Victims. Many inquiries as to policies written by Jlehrberg haye come to the com- pany’s office of men who were not ex- amined by Dr. Lippman, and it is be- lieved that many applicants were given bogus examinations. The fact that something was wrong was first discovered in the sencral cf- fices of the company at Indianapoils, to which Dr. Lippman’s reports are sent before being seen by the local agents. When reports of examinations cauie in, without applications having been yre- ceived, the company made {Ynquiry of the St. Louls office and the scheme was discovered. It is alleged against Lehrberg also that he drew up at least one bogus insur- ance policy and attempted to. sell it, failing because the intended victiin not- the unusual celerity with which it was obtained. Among those made victims by berg are said to be Patterson Bain, manufacturer, living in Ferguson, who paid $75 to Lehrberg; Marion H. Frank- lin of 3504 Harper street, Inspector for the North American Investinent Co.; A. J. Meier, superintendent of the National Tead Co., and Harry E. Sprague of the Missouri-Lincoln Trust Co. In »nost cases, it is alleged, Lehrocrg obtained checks made out to himself. Where this was refused, it is said, he endorsed checks made to the Interstate company and cashed them. The charge of forgery was made for the reason that extradition will prob- ably be easier if he is caught under that charge. Lehrberg lived at the Blue Grass Ho- tel, leaving there the first of the week. | He is thought to have gone to Cinrcin- nati or Louisville. | DEPUTY TAKES CHILD. Mother Eluded County Officers for Two Days. After a chase of two days, in which Mrs. Sallie Pryor of Carsonville walked more than 50 miles about St. Louis County in an effort to avoid service of a writ of habeas corpus for her 3-year- old daughter, Rosebud, she was found on a farm west of Carsonville Saturday by Deputy Sheriff William Olderworth. Judge Mclihenny of Clayton Circuit Thursdat’ appointed the St. Louis Hu- mane Society guardian of the child, on the ground that the mother was not a proper person to care for her. Search for the mother was at once begun, dep- uties scouring every part of St. Louls County without success until Saturday. Mrs. Pryor said that she and Rosebud and her son and walked from place to Lehr-

place ,often at night, in order to avoid the officers.

Hot Springs Grappler Was Strong, but Old George Was Too Strong. A wrestler who conceals his - real identity and assumes the name of 8S. Lee Roy was defeated by George Baptiste, the local wrestler, in two straight falls at the Business Men’s Gymnasium on Friday night. The gentleman who parts his name in the middle was recorded in the articles of agreement as hailing from Hot Springs, N. C. He displayed strength and confidence, but if he knows anything of the intricacies of the inside wrestling game he did not display it last night. The match was for $500 a side, this amount, it is presumed, being wa- gered by Roy after hearing the rumors that George Baptiste’ was booked for the chloroform sponge by Dr. Osler. But age and. skill triumphed over youth and strength. Baptiste won the first fall in 29 minutes. Twenty-seven minutes later he again touched Roy’s shoulders to the mat. Both falls were due to Baptiste’s application of a half- Nelson and English bar lock. Baptiste was seconded by Jack Strong. Roy’s corner. a member of the New Club, refereed. After the match J. M.

Mike Sullivan's unanticipated vic- cisco jiast night is high tribute to the merits of the straight left hand punch to the face. As far as can be judged from press reports, Gardner was the stronger, most aggressive and hardest hitting man. From start to finish he Was f£O0Olng to Sullivan. He could not get close enough to do damage be- cause he met that emild left, backed up by weight and strength, right on the nose, The straight left hand is one of the oldest and most effective blows in the repertoire of the boxer. Henry Pearce made it famous over one hun- dred years ago. Despite all the swings, torpedo punches, solar plexus wal- lops, corkscrews, hooks and other so- called new blows—all old as Adam-— the straight left continues to be the most natural and effective means of fence and offense known to the glove- man. In the Sunday Post-Dispatch of last week Prof. Bill Clark. the Belfast Chicken, advocated the merits of this In the Sunday Post-Dispatch of this week Prof. Clark further sets forth the virtues of the straight left. It is the alpha and omega of boxing, this knowledge of how to use the left hand with precision and force. Hooks and half hooks, snap punches and the swing have done a deal to drive the straight left out of fashion. Jeffries’ crouch makes it unavailable, for a man has got to stand up straight and gracefully to deliver it. Jeffries is restricted to a half hook by his C. B.C WILL TRY TEN-VARD PLAN a wr

Following Suggestions in Post- Dispatch, Local School Will Test Open Game, Following the Suggestion made in Friday's Post-Dispatch, Coach Ber- hero and Brother Lawrence of C. B. C. will test the plan of Walter Camp of Yale, who once proposed to have teams make 10 yards in three downs in ordéy to satisfy the popular de- mand that football be made more oven. The plan will be put into ope- ration during the second half of this afternoon's game between the C. B. C. regulars and the Alumni on the col- lege campus. It was announced several days ago by the C. B. GC athletic management that the teams would resort almost entirely to end runs, quarterback runs and punting, and eliminate mass piays and scrimmages. later on, when the suggestion was made that the 10- yards-in-three-downs plan be tried, it was decided to adopt. the suggestion. _ ©. B. C. First to Try Plan. Speaking of the matter Saturday morning, Prother Lawrence of the Christian Brothers’ College. said: We have been anxious for some time to give the open game a trial, espe- Clally since the reformatory move- ment inaugurated by President Roose- velt and others has grown to such im- portance. Seeing the Suggestion in last night's Post-Dispatch, we imme- diately fell in with the idea, and have decided to conduct the latter part of the game according to the plan advo- cated by the Eastern authorities.” For two years the rules committee has been flooded with suggestions for making the game 0of Rugby more open. The yearly cry against scrim- mages and the dangers that often re- sult have brought forth many sugges- tions, but few of them have been con- sidered and none of them ever has been tried. C. B.

Shed Dustpanful Scales Nightly. Skin Cracked Open. Suffer- ing Dreadful. Doctors Fail. Prayed for Death. Sister says, “Won't give up. Try Cuti- cura.” Eureka! Instant Re- lief. In 6 Weeks Completely CURED BY CUTICURA I have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D's. Psoriasis, and others Leprosy, commence- ing ou my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doctors, it slowly but surely extended until a year ago this winter it covered my entire person im the form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do any labor, and suf- fering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter, part of winter my skin commenced crackitig open. I tried every- thing, almost, that could be thought of, with- out any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I hada sister living. One Dr.—— treated me about two weeks, But did me no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs ; feet badly swollen ; toc-nails came off; finger-nails dead and hard as a bone; hair dead, dry, and lifeless as old straw. O my God! how I did suffer. My sister, Mrs. E. H. Davis, had a small |

wowldn’t give up; said, “We will try Cuti- | cura.” Some was applied on one hand and | arm. Kureka! there was relief; stopped the | terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Resolvent, Ointment, and Soap. I commenced by taking | onc tablespoonful of Cuticura Resolventthree | times a day after meals; had a bath once a | day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura | Soap freely ; applied Cuticura Ointment morn- | ing and evening. Result: returned to my home in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. (signed) HIRAM E. CARPENTER.
