Special to the Post-Dispatch. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 9.—Tears from an Indian woman’s cheeks when Judge Munger declined to sentence her to Jail where she could be with her husband. Mary St. Cyr is the wife of Joe John- son.. The couple were jaintly indicted upon a charge of introducing liquor up- on the Winnebago reservation. Before sentence was passed upon Johnson, District Attorney Baxter stat- ae : ed to the Court that when the prisoner = a was arrested he had a jug of whisky in | his wagon, and it was further stated that his wife spread out her ekirts over the jug in order to conceal it. | When the circumstances of the case | Pa oS PRS ..” | | eee ; : had been explained to Judge Munger, we: eo 1 dB Th, .

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 9.—An appeal will be made to President Roosevelt to take a hand in the whisky war in Kan- sas. The State Temperance Unien has commissioned an emissary to visit the White House and take the matter up personally with the President. “I am not at liberty to give the name of the emissary,”’ said J. K. Codding, attorney for the union, “but he is a White Houec." The temperance unton claims that the Treasury Department, by a certain rul- ing, has thrown a big obstacle in the way of law enforcement in Kansas. President Roosevelt ig a aticker for law, enforcement of every kind everywhere, and the union wants him to show his hand in favor of that policy in prohtbi- tion in Kansas. It will ask him to or- der the Secretary of the Treasury to revoke the objectionable order. “Some years ago,’ said Mr. Codding, “the Secretary of the Treasury issued an order prohibiting internal revenue collectors from making publie the ap- plications for Government licenses. The only record that is available to the public at the collector's office et Leav- enworth shows only the names and towns where holders of liquor licenses reside. The application gives the street and number. That is the information we want.

Hard to Get Evidence. ; “The obnoxious order is far-reaching in its effect. As long ae it stands the information eontained in the application for a liquor Hcense cannot be secured anyway. The United States Supreme Court has held that an internal revenue collecior eannot be compelled to testify as to what the records of the office show. The Court held that the collector is an agent of the Treasury Depart- ment and that the orders Of the de- partment are supreme. The internal revenue collector, therefore, cannot be used as a witness. This is not all. The collector in Kansas refuses even to fur- eerftified copy of the records in the trial of liquor cases. His or that ef his clerks, will not nish a for use deposition be given. “*amout all the assistance the Presi- | wipe out that ob- ‘'said the attorney. “‘Con- | give us relief by zy the State. control ipments where the We @e not of Hquor through tt. ts shipped tg a and steps here, jurisdiction. Compelling ide houses to take out a wholesale Govern- ~ +. it ent Hcense in every town to which owt liquor might also decrease the jug trade.’ ” Lid for Every Cotaty. There are more than 8 counties in ‘Kansas at presenj where the prohibition law is well enforeed. The Temperance tinion, through its legal depariment, has helped to clean up the joints in Barber, Cowley, Montgomery, Ells- worth, Riley, Wabaunsee, Miami and Phillips Counties durinug the past year. A big fight is now in progress to take the lid off in Wyandotte and Shawnee Counties. There are only seven very ‘wet’ counties in Kansas now—Atchi- son, Leavenworih, Marshall, Barton, Crawford, Sedgwick and Geary. No ef- fort is being made to enforce the law in those counties at the present time. It is predicted, however, that the lid will be on in every county in the State with- in another year. A.chigon, Leavenworth and Sedigwick will be tackeled last.

Spécial to the Post-Dispatch. TOLEDO, O., Dec. 9.—A tale of matri- monial woe—that of the bitterest varie- ty—was unfolded to Lieut. Smith by Paul Aderman of 131 Broadway, who asked the aid of the police in his search for his wife. He claims she moved the furniture ftom his home while he was at work and took the two children and de- serted him. Aderman’s married life has been fraught with many domestic infelicities, according to his story.

CONVICT COTTON SAVES A STATE Deficit in Mississippi Averted by Quick Action of Governor, Special to the Post-Dispatch. JACKSON, Mich.. Dec. 9.—Gov. Var- daman vf Mississippi has sold a large quantity of cotton which had been raised On the State farms by the con- victs just in the nick of time to pre- vent a de®-'t in the State dreasury. rhe sale netted about $12,000, which will go to the educational fund. The balance in the treasury of Mississippi is now below the $10,000 mark and heavy drafts are expected during the coming week. Vv. Vardaman hag entire charge ot the sale of all the products of the State farms and it is probable that from now on for seVeral months the cotton and other products will be disposed of to prevent the State from delaying pay- ment of its obligations.

Now we can burn that co@l into electricity at the mine and convey it by wire at less than half the cost of the freightage of coal. “So, in years to come, the great elec- tric power plants will be set up in the coal field. Electric power will largely do. away with steam power. Electric light will become cheaper than gas- light. ‘T believe firmly that all great trunk lines will go to electricity inside of 15 years. I don’t mean simply passenger traffic, but heavy freight, also. Within 20 years steam will be as out of fash- ion for railways as horses for street cars today.” Mr. Edison threw back his broad shoulders and clasped his hands behind his head, tilting back his chair and crossing his legs. He looked at the cell- ing intently ahd a curious smile came over his splendid countenance. “It's curious to see how long it takes men to get in motion when anything new turns up,’ he said. ‘“‘And it does not seem to*’make much difference how complete the thing or how obvious it There is the new electric locomo- tive, which has been built for the New York Central Railroad. It could have been produced 20 years ago.

Deubtful of Firat Railway. “More than a quarter of a century ago I built about three miles of an electric railway at my place at Menlo Park. It was a feed electric railway and worked well. I supposed, of course, that it would appeal to men. Well, Henry Villard (great banker and former president of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co.) came over to visit me, and I shewed him the rail- way. “] explained its advantage over the horse car system. It was better from every point of view. I offered to sell that electric railway and my patents and rights of every kind for the amount it had cost me to produce it— just $42,000. “Mr. Villard got a lot of capitalists together, some of the brainiest and most experienced men in Wall street, and I oxpainee the thing to them and they talked it all over carefully and very solemnly, and then, what do you think? They refused to*touch it in any shape or form on the _ ground that there was nothing in the idea of an electric rallway—absolutely no fu- ture for it.” The brows were raiséd, the nostrils ex anded and the wide shoulders trembled with suppressed mirth. The gray eyes blinked merrily. “Well, that staggered me for a while. I seemed to have lost every cent I had spent In the experiment. I could not make any impression on those men. rs have been invested in them and hundreds of thousands of men are en- gaged in ‘operating them. And, onl years ago, a body of picked, bright American capitalists could see nothing in the idea, although it had ae- veloped to a practical, physical demon- stration right here in New Jersey. Rack to Water Power. “Not only will electric power be de- veloped at and distributed from the coal mines In the future, but all the water power in the world will be used for the pruduction of eiectricity. That movement has begun and is advancing rapidly. In California men have nerve enoush to overcome habit, they are transmitting electric power 276 miles by wire and running street cars and ught- ing the cities by it. That is the sort of spirit that will wake the world up one of these days. I wish the spint «f California would spread everywhere, “Go down South and you will find water power being turned into clcctrici- ty for mills in all directions. ‘There are nillions of horsepower to be picked up in the waters of the Unit- ed States for practically a song. It is one of the world r greatest opportuni- ties, this chance tu convert water-power into electricity and distribute it to the points where it is needed, “When you come to think that one- horsepower is equal] to 25 men, and that water power changed into electrical ¢n- ergy is practically erpetual—the in- vestment being simply for the original | plant—you get some idea of the rtance of the changes that the world 3 bound to see, changes that have al- ready begun and are weil under way.” Mr. Edison stood up and looked im- ectric Power Without the Aid of Steam.

Eighty-tive per cent goes up the chimney. Q “Now, if we could find a way to gét the energy Out of the coal by some di- rect process, without wasting 8 pér | cent of it, the result would be’’—— Mr. Edison raised his hands, closed his eyes and gave a soft prolonged whistle. “It would so multiply and so cheapen electric power as to inaugurate a new epoch in the history of the world.

We need a process yery sim- le and inexpensive, that will save the 5 per cent. of lost power, “Tt will come, I am confident of that. There are about 300,000 scientific men at work in the world, digging out, testing, analyzing. What the world needs are not facts so much as co-relators. We want men who can bring facts together, com- pare them and work out the law. We want men like that wonderful Russian ehemist, Mendeleeff, the author of a periodic system of chemistry, who de- duced from co-related facts three un- known metals, which we have today, explaining everything about them, their salts and sulphides, their weight, struc- ture and melting point. “Some day the great discovery will be made. A man éwill discover one fact in one part of the world, and resently a lot of men will be work- ne on the true path; and one day it will be announced to the world that electric power can produced di- rectly from coal,” orming the It | airships. “Wh that discovery Is made, steam r? gine will be driven use.

As “Good Houskeeping” in an edi- torial suggests, health depends not so much on the nourishment taken inte the stomach as on the extent to which this nourishment is taken up by the system. Malta-Vita, the per- fect malted whole-wheat food, so rich in nourishment, containing ev- ery food element necessary to the sustenance of the human body and mind, is readily assimilated, even by the weakest stomach, because of the 7 reen of Maltose, or malt sugar, which it contains.

It was formerly owned by the Crown Coal and It is said that the consolidation of mines along all the coal-carrying roads, by individuals who are said to have the @upport of the ralliunds is partly as a méasure of preeautiun against an issue unfavorable to tne railroad in the pend- ing suit of the Missouri-illinois com- pany against the lllinow Central.

Provision is also made for recovery of damages three times as great as losses sustained by reason of discrimination. The suit is for recovery of damages. A perpetual injunction is also asked for restraining the railroad company from discriminating in the future and « writ of mandamus is sought compelling it fo supply as many cars as are required for hauling coal.

NEW.YORK, Dec. 9.—Belief that re- peating at the polls caused their de- feat at the annual election of officers has 80 aroused the women of the social faction of the Daughters of Ohio in -w xork that they held a meeting in the home of Miss Gardner, 36 West Twenty-fifth street, and decided that an investigation was necessary, and also a recount of the ballots, which. —con- trary to the expectation, are said to have been destroyed.

Mr. Sampson met his class at the usual hour yesterday morning and. in

TO VETERANS —_——_--@o- -- Supreme Court Holds lowa Preference Law to Be Constitutional. SOLDIERS GET JOBS fe Solons Voted for It “Because It Would Not Stand.”

LOWER COURT REVERSED

Ld a ad i Once in Office, Soldier Cannot Be Discharged Without Trouble. ey re ee Mus al te the Vovt-Duspatea, SIOUX CITY. Ie., Dec. 9.—After hav- ing. been treated as a joke with a frank a¥owal on the part of nine-tenths of the ibWwa Legislature that they only voted | for it because of their confidence that the. courts would hold it uneonstitu- ‘\ienal, lowa’s soldier preference law has-been Sustained by the Supreme Court, and the joke is on the Legisia- iure. And a very serious joke it is. The sol- dier preference law proides that vet- erans of the Civil War must be given preference im ail appointments of public ‘ offieeg, city, county or State. Poiiticlans “who Wed come to think the old soidier vote too insignificant to deter inem from appointing younger and more active henchmen to public offices find them- selves compelied to give a place to any ola soldier who may wish it. What is more, those old soldiers already holding office are so protected by this law that they cannot be removed, and in that way the plums that have heretofore fallen to the custedy of every incoming official are limited to those which do not in- yolve the removal of an old soldier. “Wateran Drew Bill, This soldieg preference law was passed by the last genera) assembly, It was in- treduced by Representative Behler, an aged veteran of the Civili War, who pos- geseed little influence in the Legislature. But ‘it had its embarrassments, despite the faet that it was looked: upon asa ./’ Members of both houses openly de- -jolared that they were virtually com- ’ pelled to vote for it or forfeit the old soldier vote in their respective districts, , . ‘They didn't wish to see the bill become 2 law, but they didn’t dare vote it down. Then came the alieged discovery that it was unconstitutional, for the reason that it wags called class legislation. Its - ): ‘Opponents—and they were nine to one— » (tnere n gyrprised its advocates by unanimously’ supporting ft, and it pass- ed with but a balf dozen oppusing votes. ‘he legisiators laughed in their sleeves and felicitated eacn other on the joke they had played on the courts by barre | the burden of estranging the soldier vete upon the judges. Lewer Court Reversed. it was but a few weeks until the in- evitable test case developed. It was an action in ndamus brought by an ex- » goldjer at rshalitown to compei his rTeten as city clerk. The lower court | t him, holding the law wag unconstitiptiona! for the reason that Pee ase legisiation, favoring the Chit War yeteran over ali other citi- zens, ime) B the Mexican and Span- ithe “a War veterans. But the Su e Court, by a divided opinion, decided this week that the lower court _, Was wrong. and that the law was con- “stitutional, The old soldiers have now turned the laugh upon the Legislators.

SS HIS DETECTIN LED WIFE ASTRAY Woman Sleuth Admits Having Conscience and Foils Divorce Plea. S,ecial to the Vost-Duspaten. BALTIMORE, Deec. 9.—Because a woman detective, employed to obtain evidence against a wife in a divorce case, turned against the husband at the last moment, the legal separation has been denied. This odd development came in the case of William Merrick Coulter. whose_ bill

of complaint was dismissed by Judge Harlan after Mrs. Lillian Garland, the woman detective, had offered her evi- dence. Mrs. Garland testified that she had been employed to spy upon the wife of Coulter, but that at the instigation of the husband and the detective agency employing her, she went one step tvo far. This was the luring of Mrs. Coulter to questionable resorts. Mrs. Garland says her conscience troubled her, and she decided to explain how the evidence against the wife had been obtained.

FIGHTING FOR DEAD NDIAN'S ~ LAND CLAIM Mother and Wife in Contest That Hinges on Legal : Points. ‘ HOW

INDIANS WED

( Poe Poe Talikt Tells of Mar- : riage Custom in Olden Specttt to the Posr-Dispateb. Times. LEWISTON, Idaho, Dec. 9.—Frank Viles, some 17 years ago, was a young Nez-Perces buck. About that time, at the Age of 22, he journeyed far across the Bitter Root Mountains and to the landi,ef the Flatheads. Here he made the -a@cduaintance of Ceceil, one of the belles of the Flathead tribe. Cecell and Frank at once began to live together at the home of Ceceil’s mother. No marriage was celebrated. In fact, Cecell had“ never been divorced from her first husband, Louis Coutouer, to whom she had*‘been married by a priest. After a few blissful weeks Frank jour- neyed westward, back to the home of the Nez Perces, and two weeks later Ceceil followed him. Cecei]l and Frank were first cousins, their fathers having been: brothers. For. seven years they lived together. Four e¢hildrens ,were born, but all died. One child, Henry, was 2 years old when the reservation given an allottment. Eight years ago Frank was hung by the vigilantes at Asotin for attempted assault. After this Ceceil’s first hus- band «secured a divorce, and following that Sececil married an Indian named Valle.’ Now the question arises who is en- titie@: to Frank Viles’ allotment, which has ‘ready been sold and the money is om deposit reddy for the rightful heir. Lilly: Viles, the mother of Frank Viles, claims the money, alieging that Ceceil and “Frank were not’ husband and wife. Ceceil says she was Frank's wife. THé ‘indian tribe is,.rvegarded by the Fedgral laws as a Nation, and any of

their tribal customs are regarded as sa- cred by the courts as are the laws otf the ‘United States. sm Case Before Court. ¢. . Judge Steele of Lewiston must pass | an opinion in the case, it having just been tried before him. -He is trying to! determine the point of a legal Indian marriage—whether cousins can legally | wed, whether living. together is mar- riage, etc. if Cecell was Frank’s lawful wife in Indian custom, she is entitled to the money. If not, Frank’s mother is en- tiled to it. Thus the court must find if the mere factthat Ceceil went to live with Frank gave*tier a divorce from her first hus- band-in so far as Indian custom is con- cerned. hat Fiom one of the witnesses, Poe Poe Talfxt, the court learned a few interest- ing -points about olden Indian customs. “The father of the young man,” said Poe: Poe, “finds the giri he wants his gon to marry. He consults with his sonsmnd then gues to the parents of the girl&nd begins to make a deal with them. He gives them horses and blank- ets and other presents. The young man comes to the home of the girl's parents and they have a big feast, at which time the couple begin to live together. “Four or five days after that they al! © fa the home of the young man’s ather. and mother and have another ..g feast wand this time the parents and rela- tives of the girl give presents to the parent® and relatives of the young man. f : a be.

By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9—Recent de- velopments show more plainly than ever | ‘that Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas got all the glory there was in the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General's office, | and that he left it, just as the hollow- |

After Dec. 1, under a recent order of, Mr. Cortelyou, the Postmaster-General, there will be little left in the bureau . of his fourth assistant save the rural | free delivery system. Of course this | under his regime, and very much bé- sides. Mr. organized Cortelyou has completely re- the Postoffice Department. | an old cailer at the scarcely knows to whom to gv, now, |! for information. Duties that were formerly included in the control of the | various four assistant postmaster-gen- , erals have now been reassigne to other assistants, and in the shifting : about, the fourth assistant has 10st | mucn that was good and responsible. Loses “Headsman” Job. | For many years the appointment and . bond divisions of the department have | been under the supervision of the assistant. These alone have | that official an important bu- |! chief, as all. appointment cases,

made and vacancies in postmasters, were re- | ferred to members of Congress by the | fourth assistant. He was the ‘“heads- man’’ and prepared all cases of ap- |. pointments, commissions, bonds, etc., | for the perfunctory approval, save in|, rare cases, when the Postmaster-Gen- | eral and President stepped in. Now | two divisions are placed under, the control of the First Assistant Posi- | master-General. When the postal fraud expose came in 1903, Postmaster-General Payne took the rural and city free delivery dlvi- sions out from under the first assistant and guve them to Mr. Bristow, the fourth assistant. Mr. Cortelyou now zives back to the first assistant the city free delivery business. All. rural agents—those men who travel all over the country investigat- ing cases for the establishment of rurai routes, and inspecting them afterward, and rearranging them—are taken out of the control of the fourth assistant by Mr. Cortelyou and placed under. the Postmaster-General’s immediate super- vision, nominally under the Chief Post- office Inspector. Bristow’s Record-Makers Gone. The above shows how the office of Fourth Assistant ‘Postmaster-General has been sheared of its powerful and responsible division since the retirement

of Mr. Bristow. It was in the manage- ment of the affairs of these divisions that Mr. Bristow made such a splendid | record while Fourth Assistant Postmas- ter-General. it will be remembered that Robert J. {| Wynne, who became Postmaster-Gener- al for a few months upon the death of Mr. Payne about a year ago, and who had a personal grievance against § Mr. Bristow, made an order just at the time Mr. ‘Bristow was preparing to retire from office, which took from the fourth assistant’s office control of Postoffice Inspectors—the young men with whom } is important; but Mr. Bristow had that : He has switched things about so that | big department |

Mr. Bristow had been enabled to clean up the Postoffice Department in three insfances: The Cuban postal frauds, the get-rich-quick concerns, and finally the Machen, Beavers and other exposes in the department proper. And now the bureau of the fourth assistant has been completely robbed of all its power and responsibility save in the matter of rural free delivery. CHIEF ROBBED AS

OO ee n How Pittsburg Stirred Girard to Action GIRARD, RUE, Girard was in the midst of great alarm lest ny nthe cape and “shoot up the town,” but it is also trae that sie was. experiencing a thrill of pride because- she. was getting a 3 show on the first page of nearly every daily newspaper in the otek Such fortune doesn’t come often to a community of 3900, and there was no disposition to rush ‘the finale. But Pittsburg broke into the game with a most: humiliating prop- osition—it offered to guarantee the capture of the women in an hour if the Frisco Railroad’ would only haul the car to that city. Now Pittsburg, which is in the same county, is Girard’s bitterest rival, and this offer was a thrust that wounded.deeply the pride of the — community. The said pride cried out for vindication. It was then the ™~ ammonia bath for the woman was determined upon. When it suc- | Sj ceeded, there was joy in Girard and anguish reigned: in Pittsburg. lived in Wallace, .

The car was surrounded day and night by heav- ily armed guards, but no attempt was made to capture the unfortunate wom- on. 8 é‘ ; --TIt was not until Detective Monahan of» the Frisco climbed on top of the car and, reaching down to the open transom of the retiring room, poured a half pint of ummonia on.

Mrs lun DERRY acted all; Mrs. Osborn told Mrs. Berry that if / she would agree to go with her the offi- 'eers would be driven off. Mrs. Berry answered that if the car was backed up to the City Jail building she would surrender at once. Otherwise, she expressed fear that she would be inurdered.

Marshal CC. D. Parker, who was wounded twice on a Civil War fied of battle, and has been fighting bad men— desperadoes, if you please—almost fr.m the time he laid down his army musket, heard the news of Mrs. Barry’s arrival with a chuckle. “What?” he exclaimed when the c'r- cumstances of Mrs. Barry’s. coming W fra amusing features.

It was only when the question of giv- ing herself up was brought up by Sher- iff Walsh or his advisers that Mrm Berry exhibited positive signs of de-

ter. Touching a match to a fresh supply of tobacco in his trusty corncob pipe, he grabbed his huge stick and started for the railroad yards. When the facts had been impressive- ly fixed in his mind, and, incidentally, the danger of attempting to remove the woman from her barricaded fort, the Marshal grunted and said: “We'll not disturb her now. Besides, she’s only a woman and I wouldn't like to hurt her.”’ Marshal Barker proceeded to swear in extra deputies to guard the car. Then he called his nigh: man, Le P Stur. eon, into conference. “Sturgeon,"’ said he, “‘we'll have. to keep a clese lookout on this woman. She is dangerous and we mustn't use violence towards her.

‘THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRISTMAS," BEING COMMENTS ON FESTIVAL BY LEADERS OF 5 DIFFERENT CREEDS THE LESSON OF THE By Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur, Pastor of Cavalry Baptist New York City. Written for the New York World and the Posi- | Dispatch. Si Christmastide celebrates the birth festival of our Lord. The incarnation of Christ is the cen- tral thought in the history of th world. It is the event around which all other events revolve in smaller or larger circles. All the great facts of history previous to His coming had ref- erence to His advent; all the events since look back to that advent as the beginning of a new era. All lines of previous history converge to the manger and the cross; all lines o: history since diverge from these two epochal events. The birth of Christ was the beginning of a new race, and the observance of that birth is still the jubi- lee of this new race. Angels joined in the advent of Christ with solo and choral song as He left the bosom of the Father to become the child of Mary in the manger at Beth- lehem. This festival is still the most joyous feast of the Church. It makes childhood more beautiful and glorious, and it lightens the burdens of age and sorrow with its tender memories and its In the chill of midwinter in northern climes it kindles a fire of hope and joy in every home and heart. It is prophetic of the gold- en age when Christ shall come again, when evil shall be overthrown, and when the song of a redeemed humanity shall sweep over the universe as the song of celestial choirs echoed over the plains of Bethlehem. But, marvelous and blessed as was the Sinearnation of Christ, we know neither the day, the month nor the year when it, took place. Donysius the Small, abou: the year A. D. 626, fixed the birth of Christ in the 75th year of Rome, but @jl scholars know that he was in error by at least four years. We know that Jesus was born before the death of erod the Great, and we know that erod died about the first of April in _ the year 750 of Rome. _It is not too much to say that in all probability Christ was born four or Ove years before the date usually given: gO that this present year ought to b- 1900 or 1910. There is no doubt that the @@lection of the %th of December as ‘the day and the month was due to the existence of heathen festivals about that season of the year. The Christmas ob- @ervance is thus a transfixuration of ®uch heathen festivals as Saturnalia, ‘duvenalia and Brumalia. These were Observed in the month of December to Sommemorate the golden age of uni- ‘versal freedom and in honor of the un- conquered sun. - There was a beautiful significance in the Bymbolic reference to the turning of the sun after the 2th of December. The Matural sun thus began a new career - was illustrative of the birth of | as the Sun of Righteusness and the Light of the World. The 2th of May and the Mth of April were once Observed as the birthday of Christ. The th of January was also observed as the Gate of both His birth and His baptism. The day, the month and the year of Mis birth will never be known. It was Vastly more im)@ tant that we should Know Christ as s§.ritual Lord and Mas- ter rather than that we should know Him after the flesh By the gifts which characterize this Season we commemorate God's great gift, the unspeakable gift of His Son to a world lost in sin and wandering if darkness. No one can rightly estimate the blessings which flow every year to ali classes and conditions of men from the tender memories and gentile chart- thes called forth by the remembrance of the Holy Child, Jesus. His birth has @xalted the poetry, the music and the / -—_—s art of the centuries. It has changed a.1 _- @06lal customs and religious rituals. It mo” ed n a new glory to human life w trend to etrnity. This is the bn all bitterness should be for- 1] family feuds reconciled and Hofified. It is unspeakably sad the name of Jesus Christ Rus- urderers are siaughtering the ‘people, the ancient and historic ch gave us the Christ. f profound humiliation that su- h. bigotry and virtual idolatry nd under the shelter of the h name.

This strife is to be allayed and these divisions healed not by any pro- cess of statutory enactment, but by that spirit of brotherly love and kind- ness which takes possession of the hu- man heart at Christmastide. Just so far as that spirit continues regnant in the hearts of men through- out the year will the Christmas season be prolonged and continue to give its blessings to mankind. Tt Christmas season comes with Perhaps one less0n which the Christ- mas season teaches above all others is that, in order to enter the kingdom of peace and happiness, we must become as a little child.

OUTSIDERS ARE GRIEVING Liberals Appeal to Taft for a Chance at the Fund, ee ee WANT FREEDOM AT POLLS -_

Threaten Revolution Full of Horrors If Demands Are Refused.

Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Covyright. 1 05. by the + eg Pub. Co, (New York World.} PANAMA, Dec. 9.—This young re- puplic is on the verge of an immense popular revolution. No human power can avert the uprising, but the action of the United States Government will de- termine whether the present administra- tion is to be peacefully voted into de- feat or whether tts existence is to be decided by one of those whirlwinds of murder, rapine and loot which in this and other Spanish-American countries are gently called revolutions. The national crisis which will faced at the coming elections will be most serious in the short history of republic. There is no doubt in the minds of the political leaders of the country and of the Americans familiar with iis national affairs that the future existence of the country is threatened. Many believe that the disorders will be so widespread and party bitterness so great that the United States to protect its immense interests in the Canal Zone, will either annex or assume a pro- tectorate over the entire country, and the ‘“‘Republica de Panama” will hence- forth be merely a memory. Secretary Taft, on his recent visit, Was presented with a memorial by the lleaders of the Liberal party, which ciearly showed the sentiment of the ma- jority of the people. in some of the in- terior States vierence has broken out. Wniy force of arms can return the Con- Servative party leaders at the next eiection to the offices which they now hoid. Unless the United states inter- venes the Government, or Conservative party, Will use every power ot rifie and sword at its command to Keep its ieaa- ers In contro! of the national treasury. Special be the the Revolution the Alternative. Shou.d the United States fail to pre- vent llitimudation at the polls, a blouuy and bitter revoiution is certain. If the United Siales goes so far as to protect the Government party with American marines, lives Of even tne Americans wil nut be safe outside the ranxe vl the rifies of their own bluejackets. ‘ihe end of the Regublic will then be in- eviiable. Ufficial loot of the Government treas- ury is the rich prize which falis to the party in power. For the first time in their lives the inhabitants of this bar- ren and rocky little section of earth have a treasury in which there is money. In the past every cent that could be squeezed from the impoverished state flower to the cavital of Columbia, of which it was a. part. Now not only has the tribute to Columbia ceased, but the nation is wallowing in the $10,000,000 given it by the United States. It has gone mud with the madness of a starv- ing outcast when he wins the capital in its national lottery. With those in power the question is not how to raise revenue but to devise ways of spending money. The problem simplified itself into an individual scramble to fill private pockets from the overflowing national treasury. As- suming that the United States, even to the extent of marines would uphold the party in power, its leaders have never faltered in improving their personal fo- and the! extavagant waste of the ‘shed by the United States is nades and tunes money fun common gossip on the prome i cantenas. sg ena gnee have been started, con- awarded and purchases made with effrontry unmentioned in any civ- ilized country outside of the libretto of a comic opera. Apparently the only formality which the Conservative par tv required of its friends was that they at least count the money taken from the nationa! treasury and that some nominal service be stipulated as an ex- cuse for taking it. An American’s Experience. ho protested against the summarily retired. An American, C. Vincent Peterson, one- time city engineer at Houston, Tex., later with the Mexican Central Rail- way, and now employed by the Canal Commission at Culebra, was chief en- gineer for the republic in charge of in- ternal improvements. He objected to a glaring extravagance and was curtly informed that he should be satisfied to draw his salary and rot bother about the amount or cost of work. Again he criticised a useless expenditure and was ignored. He resigned. The latest Government bauble is a natione!] theater and presidential palace at Panama.

es Moines Plans to Tear Up 100 Miles of Street Railway Tracks and the Trolley Poles

Because Company Doesn’t Pay Public Enough

CEFFERUON LE MUL PPECIDENT OF THE UYTIPEET TALIPOAD a —

“Billy” Bremner, Young City Solicitor, Has Convinced the | People That Streets Don’): Belong to Corporation and That It Must Get Out If It Refuses to Give Adequate Compensation.

DES MOINES, Ioc., Dec. 9. T ITH the City Council, acting 7 upon a resolution prepared by City Solicitor Wm. H. Brem- ner and intreduced by Alderman Whit- ney, providing that the street railway company within thirty days tear up its hundred miles of tracks and raze its poles to the ground and cease opera- tions, Des Moines is experiencing the most strenuously fought legal and municipal battle in its history. Property to the value of more than a million dollars is at stake. The matter is now dragging through the courts, with its final adjudication still far dis- tant. In the meantime, the city of 85,000 in- habitants is confronted by the probabil- ity of having to walk in a short time. Arrayed against each other in this | battle royal are two men—One young, | the agher old, one a public official, the | other president of a-great corporation, | which for forty vears had done business | unhampered. Power Behind the Throne. William H. Bremner, commonly known as “‘Billy’’ Bremner, the City So- licitor of Des Moines, is the power be- hind the throne which is responsible for the determined action of the City Council. He forced the County Attor- ney to enter into the fight and is now prosecuting the case against the Des Moines Street Railway Co. in the Dis- trict Court. Jefferson S. Polk is the president of the corporation, which Mr. Bremner claims has no rights upon the streets of the city. Mr. Polk is over 70 years of age, and, for 40 years, has been at the head of the constantly growing city railway, which now extends, along in- terurban lines, from Des Moines to a

half dozen nearby towns, radiating a distance of 25 miles. It is a determined fight, in which the younger man \js actuated by a sense of ; duty to the. ptblic, and the older man is struggling to protect and preserve the million-dollar property which he has spent a lifetime in acquiring. A Formidable Civic Movement. Aligned with Mr. Bremner are many of the leading lawyers of the city and most of the leading citizens, band-d to- gether into a Civic League, at the head of which is Robert Fullerton, who last year was stationed at St. Louis as dis- burser of the $5,000,000 appropriated by the United States Government !n aid of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. These men are determined that if Mr. Polk’s railroad remains upon the streets of Des Moines it shall pay well for the privilege. That the street railway pays little for this right now is discernable quick- ly by a glance at the figures. The receipts for the year average about $300,000. The Street Railway Co. pays $14,000 a year tn taxes. The man who owns the company has become a millionaire, his assistants are classi- lowning magnificent

i OY VOLIITOR fied among the richest men in the city, homes on Grand avenue. The Civic League believes that the city is getting the worst of the bar- gain. Says Franchise Is Perpetual. But the main point at issuo is wheth- er or not the franchise upon which Mr. Polk claims to be operating is perpet- ual. He asserts that it is, while the op- position asserts it long ago expired. That is why the City Council, spurred to action by Mr. Bremner, ordered the car tracks to be torn up. But before the tracks can be torn up the United States Government will take a hand. Every street car in this city béars a letter box. Every street car motorman has positive orders to stop, no matter what his speed or haste, to allow any man, woman or child to mail a letter, postal card or paper in the street car box at any and all stopping places. This gives the street car Federal pro- tection; it is an agent of the Postoffice Department. The city employe who would tear up @ rail would be interfer-

ing with the United States mails. An

Polk in the stare courts, the United States Courts will still have to be heard. Litigation is slow. Des Meines will not have to walk, if it all, several weeks. But no mah can the end of the bitter fight. ; Originally the ation of the street car company’s rights to ft streets was taken up by the League, of which a prominent 7 is John MacVicar, former mayor decided ctherwive, even W ple openly averred that it too, was cour siderate of the Polk interests. Then Mr. Bremner prepared the rege- lution which Alderman Whitney tatre- duced providing that every rail be tom wp, every pole torn 4own and every car run off the streets. Now the courts are taking evidence on the question. A Four-Cent Fare. Althous.sh worth a million dollars oF more, the city railway company pags taxes upen a valuation of only $400,008, having agreed to make a 4cent fare if the city would let it off with this low valuation, Since the tigation was begun Prest- dent Polk has offercd, if the city will continue his franchise, either to pay into ths city treasury 3 per cent of the gross receipts or give the city $60,000 a year taxes. He is quite anxious to do this, for, white the aempany pays only $14,000 & year taxes now, the reduction of fare from 5 cents to 4 cents cost the com- pany $54,000 Iu-t year, while in addition it paid $13,000 for paving; 4 total of %%1,- oc). Mr. Polk could pay 90,000 a year tax, but he will raise the fare again to 5 cents and come out winner at the end of the year by $31,000. Des Moines does not know whether it would ratber have the $50.00) In a lump sum or let every passenger save One cent on each ride, which means & eay- ing of $54.000 altogether each year. ©

one, however, questions the efficacy of the scheme_in getting a large amount of Government money into circulation. A contract for $350,000, United States currency, for building the was and roof alone has been awarded to Gabries Duque. He receives $5v0,000 additiona: United States currency, for finishing the interior. The entire Cost will ve more than $1,000,600. ‘The Majestic iheater building in Chicago, a — Digh, Cost omy §$1,0u,w0.

At present miserable bridle paths are the only routes of communication tn the in- terior of the country. The rule that all subcontracts be giv- en to members of the Conservative par- ty regardless of cost to the Government is rigidly enforced. The American chiel engineer awarded a contract to Placido Suurez, a Liberal. The Governor of the province demanded his lremoval regard- less of his efficiency, and President Ainador supported the demand. The contract for a. bridge over the Santa Maria River was awarded to an American, George Jeffreys. Jeffreys, who is a factor in the Conservative party and is the Bouth American repre- sentative of the American Bridge Co., receivéd the contract at an exorbitant figure. He left West Point Military Academy, became a professional revofu- tionist, and is the original of the novel “Captain Macklin, His Memoirs,” though his actual experiences are not equal to the exploits of the sprightly hero fo the fiction. He holds the office | of Lord High Admiral of the Republica 'de Panama, though the country hasn't even a merchant miarine. Jeffreys and his associates have a force account contract for 10 per cent. That means that he receives 10 per cent of the cost uf all material, transporta- tion, labur and superintendence. The greater the difficulties of transportation and the more inefficient and slower the workmen, the greater will be the profit to the contractor. Force account con- trac's are seldom awarded in the Unit- ed Statea. More Graft for Contractors. Not satisfied with this gift, the Gov- ernment leaders decided, against the protests Of the chief engineer, but en- couraged by the contractor, te change the site of the bridge to a spot where the land is lower and more swampy. For the new site, 16 additional 70-foot steel epans are needed. The coast of transporting these spans by barge and ox carts into the Interior will be enor- mous. Whatever it may be, the ¢on- tractor will receive 19 per cent a@ his abare, A similar contract for a bridge in Chepo was awarded to Duque, the lot- tery king. He is to receive 12 per cent

as his share of the Government's ex- penditure. 2 One of the first luxuries of the Gov- ernment was to order a new coinage of silver from the United States mint at Phi.adel hia. Before this was put into circulation proclamations were issued advising that after a certain day, the coins of Colombia, then being used, would no longer be legal tender. In the meantime the new currency would be exchanged for the old at a rate of exchange greatly in favor of the Colombian coin. The result was that thousands of pounds of Colom- bian money was smuggled into th country to be profitably exchange intu the new money. These extravagancies and evidence of corruption have aroused all except the few men in power, who are being personally benefited. “If the Untied States Government upholds the gang at present in the pubiic offices of this sad and benight- ed country against the will and wish- es of $0 per cent of the population, the consequences will be 'bloody,” saya C. Vincent Peterson, the former Chief Engineer of the Republic. “It is a known fact that the Panamanian Gov- ernment, uphell by the bayonets of American marines, is getting away as fast as it can with the millions we gave for the canal sone, Call on United Staies for Ald. “In order to subdue the righteous rebeilion of the ; eople, the mains ment intends to foment trouble in the interior in connection with the next election and cu:l on the forces of the United States for aid.

ARLEY CONQUERS KANSAS. WEEDS

Cattle Lands, Thought to Be Desert, Transformed in Five Years.

COBURN’S FIGURES TELL

Farmers Prosper in Western Section Where Desolation Once Stalked. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 9.—West- ern Kansas, a portion of the country that has come for years to be spoken of solely as a vast cattle raising terri- tory, has been literally transformed within the past five years. So natural and so gradual has beey the change that. has consummation is nothing short of marvelous, and the re- sults obtained are bound to interest not only the farmer and the real estate dealer, but the scientist also. Inspired by cheap land, splendid cli- matic conditions, good water and fine railway facilities, hundreds of brainy, capable tillers of the soil from all parts of the Union went inco this territory a few years ago to make homes and for- tune. In five vears their efforts have shown almost unbelievable results. Secretary Coburn of the State Depart- ment of Agriculture, tells of an unusual feature in connection with the changed conditions. He says that with the ina- creased area of crops, there has been a steady increase in the rainfall and a change in the elimatic conditions: Taose changes in the elements unquestionably have come with the turning of the land from a cattle raising to an agricultura: country—a most interesting and a va.- uable point that must involve all new districts. ; The results come with particular force at this time when there is so much talk of frauds in Government lands, and refute the claims of cattlemen, who, for selfish reasons, have fer years discour- aged innovations upon the part of farm- ers, making the assertion that the graz- ing lands were good for cattle only and that the farmer who attempted to work the soil would starve to death. It marks another point in the expansion of the farmer, who is graduaiis§ tv. in the cattle raiser from the territory he has held for many years. _ “So many people,’ says Secretary Co- burn, “have an idea that western Kan- sas is not surely productive. ‘the fact is that some of the finest wheat lani is there, and the land is unsurpassed for kaffir corn, cane, barley, etc. The climate is apparently changing.’’ Fines Included. From Judge. The Friend: At what figure would you esti- mate the traveling expenses of an auto tour? The Avtolst: Traveling expenses? Well, that depends a good deal on the Judge. Geese Are Happy. The strike on the Russian railways stopped 40.000 geese from making their trip to Ger many: that is the monthly export to neizhboring empire.

ae Queer Formula Furnished Women Who Ask Probation Officer How Feasibility Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 9. HE door to the probation officers’ court of the Juvenile Court swung | open suddenly and three women stepped briskly up to the desk of Jona J. McoManaman, attorney for the court. Mr. McManaman was chin deep in work. _ Ahem,” coughed one of the women as she formed her lips into a smile. At- torney McManaman looked up impa- tiently, “Yes, madame, what can I do for you?” trying to smile and almost suc- ceeding. There was a rustle of silk, the little Swinging gate in the railing was pushed open and the spokeswoman stepped within the inclosure, moved a chair to the side of Mr. McManaman’s desk, sank into it and emitted a sigh, indicat- ing a feeling of great relief. The dele- gate in black taffeta seized ,another chair and dropped into it. The delegate in the automobile coat did likewise, sinking and sighing at the left of the busy attorney. ‘Investigating Bay Boy Problem. “We are a delegation from the Every Thursday Social Research Club, and we are investigating the boy problem. Now, we know that you will be good enough to give us the information we want. We are to read papers on the ‘Boy Problem’ at the next meeting of the club. You have so many boys at your club and you govern them so excellent- ly that you are just the one person in Chicago who can help us.”’ “Ves, we all decided to come to you,” echoed the one in black taffeta and the one in the automobile coat in chorus. “Now, tell us, do you use corporal punishment or moral suasion?”’ ‘Moral suasion,’”’ began Mr. McMana- who does not believe the boy Is a problem, “while it has received the ‘ndorsement of the experts, requires ‘onstant application, which renders it man,

to Correct the Wayward Juveniles—lIts Explained. exceedingly unsatisfactory. Force is too expensive. Its application takes up too much good energy that might be ap- plied to better advantage in other di- sections. ‘In Denver 1 understand hypnotism is used, but in my opinion its use {fs dan- gerous because the brain does not grow under the spell. On the other hand. mesmerism leaves the subject sleepy. I have found a solution of the prob- lem, but I’m a little timid about mak- ing my formula public, as its use by other than experts would be danger- ous.”’ “Oh, but do tell us,’ urged the dele- gation. Gives Formula and Reasons. “Well,” began Attorney McManaman, seriously, “I take 2% ordinary bees, working bees, not drones, and I ex- tract their brains. Then I take 2 ants, laboring ants, ants that have a pas- sion for work, sober, industrious ants, and I extract their brains. “Then I take the tips of the ears and the tail of a fox. I boil the tips of the ears and the tail of the fox togeth- er, let it cool, and then skim off the oil that rises to the surface. I purify that ell. “Then I mix the brains of the bees and the brains of the ants with the re- fined oil, and it makes a nice serum. i give each boy at the business club a hypodermic injection of the serum, and after three doses I have no trou- ble whatever with the boy. He be- comes industrious, saving and always on the alert to take advantage of any opportunity offered him.” ‘“‘Wonderful'’—— exclaimed one of the researchers, biting off the end of the word as she caught a flash from whe eye of a companion. The three women rose awkwardly. Mr. McManaman thought he heard a “thank you” as the gate closed behind the retreating visit- ors.

ttm WEVY HOME OF THE BALMER & WEBER MUSIC HOUSE! The Balmer & Weber Music House Company, which was established in 1846, and lays claim to being the oldest Piano or Music House in the West, have moved into their beautiful new home which they have just com- pleted at 1004 Gllive street. In a booklet, or brochure as they term it, called the “Balmer & Weber Systemf that they have just issued, they outline in a frank way the usual methods pursued in the purchase and sale of a piano whereby they hope to improve the conditions of the trade, claim- ing to be the pioneers in St. Louis, and among the first in the country, to place themselyes irrevocably on record as adopting this new method or’ new era in the piano business, putting it absolutely upon a staple basis, s0 that a child can be sure of getting the same value for the investment in selecting a piano as the most expert buyer. The building in its exterior and interior finish is something new and rather a radical departure from the usual downtown business buildings. The front is of ornamental terra cotta and the interior is very elaborate and presents a most pleasing and artistic effect, the second and third floors particularly which are divided up into small parlors for the display of pianos are all artistically and differently treated. Silk damasks and tapes- tries are hung on the walls, and the four small windows in each room are all treated and draped with beautiful hangings and drapes that harmonize with the wall hangings and the finish of the woodwork. There are twelve of these rooms and a different color scheme is carried out in each of them and the whole presents a most pleasing effect. . The little booklet, “The Balmer & Weber System,” is given in full below: : FOREWORD. We invite your careful perusal of this little brochure, and if it seems a little verbose in the telling, we believe that you will get sufficient en- lightenment therefrom to warrant its careful reading. “AN OPEN CON- FESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL,” and the light which we give you herein, of the reasons leading up to the adoption of this system by us, is of such vast importance to the Piano Buying Public, that we feel warranted in divulging inside business facts hitherto unknown to the greater portion of the public, to bring home the point, that only upon a system, founded upon the same basis as the Balmer & Weber System (or New Policy), can that absolute safety and positive assurance of SQUARE DEAL, HONEST VALUE AND A DOLLAR’S WORTH FOR A DOLLAR IN THE PIANO BUSINESS, REST.

Now, if you will bear with us, we would like to give you a brief history of the piano business as it has been conducted and show you why the new management have absolutely and irrevocably adopted this policy, after long experience and trial of the usual methods, and the most careful in- vestigation of the music business of the United States.

The history of the piano business throughout the United States has been that the dealer-had to seek out the customer or “prospect” {one who could but did not have a new piano), often paying a large commission merely for this name, then following up by repeated calls (oftentimes har- rass.ing and annoying the prospective customer), all of which consumed much time and expense, and then taking in exchange, or as paxt payment for the new piano, for which he pays the manufacturer cash, a second-hand piano (perhaps an antiquated square, that cost $1,000.00 when new thirty years ago, but which now has practically no market value), and for which he allows the customer a fictitious price, based upon the retail price orizin- ally paid therefor, and which he could buy today new from the manu- facturer at wholesale at considerably less than he allows for same. WHAT HAS BEEN THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF THE PRICE WHICH THE DEALER HAS FELT OBLIGED TO PLACE ON HIS NEW GOODS, AS AN ADVERTISED PRICE, A MARKED PRICE OR AN ASKING PRICE, NOT KNOWING WHAT KIND OF A DEAL HE WAS GETTING INTO AND WHAT TIME AND EXPENSE IT WOULD CONSUME? WHY A FICTITIOUS OR EXORBITANT PRICE OF COURSE. That is what you paid if you were no‘ good at driving a bargain and met a shrewd, clever salesman, and, it did not take much time or calling upon you to sell. The dealer may have made big profits from you and smg@ll profits from the other fellow, though the same piano may have been sold for the same price to him, depending entirely upon the allowance for exchange, how able he was to convince you and to exaggerate the importance of his bargain and ‘depreciate the value of your exchange, and also how much calling of can- vassers. solicitors, etc., it k to land you. If he was a shrewd dealer with good, clever salesmen, and was fortunate enough to secure a large proportion of sales like yours, he made money, while on the other hand his neighbor less shrewd, trying and oftentimes giving more honest values, did not prosper and went out of business. You see so often advertised and offered for sale new $325.00 pianos at $220.00, $300.00 panos for $210.00 and $600.00 pianos for $400.00, etc. Now, how can a merchant, whether a dealer or a manufacturer, sell a new piano, or any article worth $325.00 for $220.00? Figure out the logical reasoning of it. IT NEVER COULD HAVE BEEN WORTH $325.00 OR HE COULD NOT SELL IT FOR $220.00, and is in one of these two posi- tions: Of either charging an exorbitant price ($105.00 more than he should) before, and he will go back to this exorbitant price as soon as the excuse which he has offered for this sale is over and he goes back to his usual methods, in which case he stands convicted of not being honest in his values and dealings at all times, and of unreliability. -Or, if. it -is really a $325.00 piano and should be sold at that price to give honest value and. make a reasonable profit and then he makes a cut of one-third and makes many sales of this kind, it would mean a loss of $105.00 on each piano sold and ‘f he sold ten a day, meaning a loss of $1,050.00 a day, or over $360,000.00 a year, which would bankrupt any man in the piano business in the United States. This seems to the writer good logic. It all revolves itself around the exaggera’ed notion which a dealer has of the value of his goods. When he talks of the usual selling price, or what the same sells for in another cty, or by another dealer, he means the exaggerated marked price which is almost universal in the piano business, and what it occasion- ally sells for, it may be ‘rue, if the customer was easy and paid the or- dinary ask ng price. This price is also influenced by the expense of the method tie dealer tollows in selling pianos, With a large corps of outside “PROSPECT HUNTERS,” “SOLICITORS,” “CANVASSERS” (or by what- ever name they may be called—they are on deck every Saturday night for their pay—just the same), and with no se‘ prices for exchanges, and ex- pense of collecting and repossessing a large number of poor sales, which come with long prices and small payments, drawn by attractive bargain advertising (we speak from experience), his expense must be,great. It is an old and well-\nown saying of the greatest advertiser of his time. the well-known circus man, P. T. Barnum, that the American people wanted to be fooled. While Mr. Barnum was a great and successful man in hs line. we prefer to eliminate al] circus methods from our business, as it does not harmonize with the piano business.

The new ‘‘BALMER & WEBER SYSTEM’”’ and what it means. In line w'th the most progressive in- {

We have done our share of this circus advertising in the past, as we felt in our own weakness, before we re- ceived this new light, that it was necessary to do it in the piano business, as all the other dealers did it and it was the way the business was conducted. It brought in customers quicker, they bought quicker, because they were more easily convinced that they were getting a bar- gain and, in fact, the dealer made more money at these apparently greatly reduced prices than ordinarily, and thus you have the most con- vincing proof that ths piano was nevér worth $325.00, as even $220.00 made him a good profit. He may offer the excuse of bei over- stocked, ENORMOUS PUR- CHASES from the manufac- turer at reduced prices, etc., while, as a fact, wholesale prices on staple goods or standard pianos never change to anything like the extent of these advertised reductions, and merely vary slightly .by the quantity he (the dealer) handles of a certain make during the year (not the quantity he has shipped at one time), and how he settles with his man- ufacturer for the same, whether in real live cash of the realm, or otherwise. HONESTY—THE BEST > .* - POLICY, How much more honest and satisfactory to the tradesman and everybody if he can put his business upon a basis whereby he can al- ways Offer and sell NEW PIANOS, AS WE SHALL DO FROM NOW ON, AT LESS THAN HIS SPECIAL BARGAIN, MANUFACTUR- ER, ETC., -- ETC. SALE PRICES, ALL THE TIME TO EVERYONE. WE CAN DO IT FOR LESS AND SHALL. WHY? BE- CAUSE THE OTHER DEALER AT HIS SPE- CIAL SALE AND WITH HIS SO-CALLED SPECIAL PRICES STILL HAS HIS EXPENSIVE ORGANIZA- TION of outside canvassers and salesmen, to whom he is still obliged to pay sal- aries or commission on sales made at these reduced prices and his general policy and expense of doing business is not changed for the week or month he is condw .ng this sale and selling at reduced . prices. We leavé it to anv intelligent person who reads this that the dealer must. to accomplish this fact, entirely change his policy, as we have done, eliminate these evils and extraordinary expenses from his business, be Seat in his prices at all times, of- fering exactly the same value to all, sell a $200.00 piano for $200.00 three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, and not sometimes at $400.00, $350.00, $300.00 or $250.00. It is on the same principle as a dollar yard of silk ina dry goods store is marked and sold at a dollar to vou and to everybody. Its mar ket or commercial value is therefore $1.00 and not $°.00. It may. be a little better grade than the other man’s $1.00 grade of silk and of more intrinsic value. AND IT SHOULD BE ON THIS BASIS ALONE OF BEST INTRINSIC VALUE FOR THE DOLLAR THAT ANY MFRCHANT SHOULD DFE- PEND AND CAN ULTI- MATEY DEPEND FOR SUCCESS AND NOT UPON EXAGGERATED VALUES, We have felt that all that has preceded this was neces- sary for vou to have a prop- er appreciation of the one- price system which we have absolutely and_ irrevoeably adopted and which we pre- fer to call the BALMER & WEBER SYSTEM to distinguish it from the eateh phrase of “ONE PRICK,” sometimes nsed by dealers in advert'sing, but which means absolutely an- other thing. ; The Bolmer & Weber Svs- tem mens pri-es uniform and staple at ali times and that price the richt price, which is only made possible by conducting our business on a uniform method at all times. eliminating all ex- traordinary, foolish and un- necessary expense usually incident to the sale of a piano.

icy new in the piano bust- ness, and has been the most discussed topic at the Music Dealers’ Conventions and throughout the trade for the past few years, and but very few dealers in the United States have had the cour- age to adopt it. John Wan- amaker of New York (in his piano department) and the Aeolian Company of New York (whom we represent in this territory), were pio- neers of this system, and their success has demon- strated its suecéss and pop- ularity with the public, b the enormous business which they have built up in but a few years, and no success in the history of the piano trade can approach their rec- ords. It was after an hon- est and thorough investiga- tion of these houses and their methods that we de- cided to adopt this system. It means a fair and legi- timate profit, but lower prices than is possible to otherwise offer to the pub- lic under any possible cir- cumstances, It meang a 5-year-old child can come into our store and secure as good a bargain as the best horse trader in the United States. It means, with every plano goes a Guarantee of complete satisfaction. It means we can sell our pianos on small monthly payments, with simply in- terest added for the deferred payments, which is only made possible by this sys- tem. It means old pianos are taken in exchange for their fair market valuation and with fictitious allowances done away with, your old piano counting as so much cash (if it is worth anything and we can use it at all), the necessity for deception in quoting anything but the true cash value of new goods dis- appears. We felt that it was nec- essary to the establishment of this new System and with the expansion of our business that has come in the last few months, that more suitable and better adapted quarters were necessary, so we erect- ed the beautiful home which we now occupy, and placed within same for the proper display of our pianos a series of a dozen parlors of the size and furnished as parlors in privafe homes. In this way, and in this way only, can a customer determine just what any piano will look and sound like in their home, in- stead of being placed in one or more large rooms where an elaborate case will help to ‘feature or affect a cheaper make, and with one sound- ing board against another, as is usual, which aids the tone of some pianos. Our parlors are al] decorated in different color schemes, and different wood finishes, and are of different sizes, and any piano you may select will be placed in any parlor for you, so that you may judge of its appearance and sound under any circum- stances. The pubiie are most cordially invited to call and inspect these parlors. OUR LINE. Regarding our line of pi- anos, we handle and sell no stencil goods and no‘ hing but of accepted standard manu- facture. By this we mean that every piano on our floor is made by a reliable manu- facturer, who puts his name on same and covers it with his guaran‘’ee, WHICH WE BACK UP WITH OUR SIX- TY YEARS’ RECORD. OUR FACTORIES. The factories whom we represent as exclusive gen- eral distributing agents for Missouri and Southern IIi- nois territory. are among the largest and best in the coun- try. The Aenlian Company of New York, the peer ot them all. Capi‘alized for $10,000,- 000.00 (the greatest amount of money invested in any music industry in the world), with their incompar- able line and policies. Their line embraces the Weber, Steck, Wheelock and Stuy- vesant Pianos, the Aeolian

Pipe Organ, the Orchestrelle, the Vocalion, and the Pianola, “The Stand- ard Piano Player of the World,” unquestioned as such, of which more are made and sold every year than all the forty other makes of piano players combined. % THE PIANOLA. The Pianola is made in two forms, as a cabinet that can be pushed up and pulled away from your own piano at will, and as the Pianola-Piano, when it is built into and forms an integral part of the piano (that can be played by hand, or by a perforated roll, at will). This is only found in pianos that are built by the same manufacturers who build the pianolas, as they and the greatest experts contend, that it is only in a thoroughly reliable piano, built by the same piano factory at the same time and place, that the perfect unit of a satisfactory self-playing piano can be accom- plished. Consequently the pianola (interior device) is furnished only in Weber, Steck, Wheelock and Stuyvesant Pianos. A quartette varying in price, but without their equal on the market. All these four are furnished as plain pianos or as pianola-pianos. THE WEBER. i First comes the Weber—the highest type known in the art of piano building today. This is not an extravagant statement, but is supported by facts. While other pianos of late years have been enjoying the Neight of their popularity, the Weber was resting on its laurels, without’ perhaps that commercial aggressiveness charag'eristic of some other houses of that time. Albert Weber commenced the manufacture of this piano in 1853) and brought it during his lifet me, with that care and exactness for which he was known, to rank with the highest standards then known, and it bas remained for his successors, the Aeolian Company, with their tremendous capital, energy, determination and hgh standards for which they are known the world over, to create with the Weber piano a new standard in piano construction, which they have done, In support of this is the endless chain

of successes with which they have met—such as the adoption of the ex- “5Wy clusive use of the Weber by the greatest aggregation of musical stars and’ eniuses that is ever gotten together, the Grau Grand Opera stag os: ; ey are used exclusively in the Metropolitan ra House of New ork; where the greatest artists of the world are heard. They have been unre- servedly endorsed by that great trio of tenors, Mario, Companni and Caruso; by the King of Spain, who has them in his Royal Palace; by the choice of. Pope Pius X for he Private Apartments and throughout the Papal Palace; .. by the use of Rosenthal and other noted pianists, who have elected to play the Weber exclusively in their coming tours of this country, and so on, we might enumerate an endless list of the world’s greatest artists and con-. noisseurs of music, who have not alone endorsed the piano (which is com- monplace and frequently claimed by infer'or makes), but have indicated their absolute preference for the Weber over all others, by purchasing. them for their own use, and adopting them and requesting them whenever possible when called upon to play. That alone is the test of an artist’s. preference. The best evidence of the Weber supremacy, however, is that, contrary to the policy of certain other manufacturers (whose names in the past have stood for the best) is the polcy of the Weber manufacturers, The WEBER 1S SELLING TODAY R MORE THAN EVER IN [TS HISTORY. THAT is, we mean at an increased price, while the tendency, even among high-grade manufacturers, is to put on the market pianos . bearing their name at lower prices than ever before, That this cannot be _ done without lowering standards does not stand to reason. It is well 3 known that labor costs more, and practically all the materals that go into. . \ i the making of a high-grade piano were never higher than now. The policy . {y of the Weber Company has been to enhance the value and increase the quality, irrespective of price, and in this respect they stand alone among the few recognized artis‘ic pano builders of the country, and having been recognized as amongst the best for several decades, with this policy, which they alone have absolutely adhered to, and their wonderful progress and development in the last few years, has placed the Weber piano so that it - stands today without a peer. The Weber piano is consequently the newest, highest and unapproached standard known in the art of piano building today. For this reason we sought the agency for it and adopted the Weber piano as our highest standard, knowing that with our new policy and plans it was the piano of all pianos that should head our list. THE STECK. Next comes the grand old Steck, which for over forty years has been known to the St. Louis public through our handling same as our h ghest grade and best piano during all these years, although most of the world’s accepted better makes have been handled during this period at various times by this house, but have all had to give way to the Steck, and it is only the Weber piano, in ‘ts new position as the world’s accepted standard, which has ever taken precedence of the Steck in this or any other piano house of the country. The Steck piano was the favorite piano of Richard Wagner, _who composed his last opera, “Parsifal,” on the beautiful Steck Grand, ¥ EY, bse j . \* 5 ' ; | ‘EY, »NY \ j ‘ 7 \I/ + { yy 4 7 Pf " Nii Bi Mil 4 : Tia ‘ ~ @. which he owned. The laurels of the Steck are too well known to the St, ‘ Louis public to need, and space will not allow, their reiteration here, THE BEHR BROS. The Behr Brothers’ Piano, which we have the agency for, is another W artistic make, recognized as such the world over. By this recognition we . mean is handled by dealers throughout the United S‘ates and in the prin- c pal cities today, and has been for years as their first or highest grade piano. Ranking in point of construction, artistic merit, tone quality and praise commanded with the best. Xavier Scharwenka, in his well re- memebered tour of this country some years ago, used the Behr Brothers’ Piano exclusively, stating his unqualified preference for same time and time again, as have Moskowski, Ausorge, Operti and other well-known com- posers and musicians. The faculty of the Royal Conservatory of Music of St. Petersburg, Russia (of which Anton Rubinstein was director), commend- ed in the highest terms of Behr Brothers’ Piano, which they possessed. Another evidence of the Behr Brothers’ grade, was the selection of this piano with two other artistic ackiowiolaal makes in the furnish ng of the Waldorf-As'oria Hotel of New York City, the most expensive and elabor- ately furnished hotel in the world, where quality and not price counted. Five Behr Brothers’ Pianos was their original order. THE STRICH & ZEIDLER. The Str'ch & Zeidler Piano is another triumph in that highest grade of piano building where quality and not price coun’s. Seldom, and we think that we can say that nowhere else in a single musi¢ store in the United States will such a quartette of recognized artistic pianos be found for sale under one roof, as the Weber, Steck, Behr Brothers, and Strich & Ze‘dler. So our relation to other stores is at four to one in respect to the highest grade in piano building and where ind'vidual choice in case design, tonal quality and incidentally the pocketbook is allowed the highest possible range in selecting the best that can be offered. OUR OTHER PIANOS. There are good pianos and excellent ones for leas money than any of these “Big Four” to be found in our stock, and rght here let us say that nowhere can better values be had for the money, from the cheapest to the best. The Wheelock, Story & Clark, the Jewitt, ‘he renowned Schubert, the new and remarkable Duffiano Steel-Backed Piano, the Stuyvesant, the Hoffman, the Voleman and other pianos, will be found in our line, afford the widest possible range in choice of pianos, from the lowest to the h price of New York, Boston, Ch cago manufacturers. yy } ’ j : vi oa : $f; * ’ ie 3 ee a eee Agee wiry ‘s i 4 Hy. — 4 4 fe w J 2 a Ewe +. - ¥ ii , + ce Sr, 4 ¥ ie Pay Pa ee SOGGY sir ais ft: SNe Sate ee Pars TR ge eee Our cheapest piano (which is the lowest priced new piano offered for "hy ie sale three hundred and sixty-five days of the year in St. Louis) is ne eager a7 teed and of reliable Prange emit + Can you afford to experiment light of these facts given above in buying a piano.

However, the wife set brave- ly to work and, without assistance, she met the notes, paid the taxes and saved the farm. All the while she worked the farm herself, marketed the crops and at the same time sent her children to school, clothed them and maintained the family.

WASHINGTON, Dec. $.—According to a bulletin just issued by the Census Bureau, about one hundred and six per- sons out of one thousand in the United States more than ten years old are un- able to write, which is equivalent to abcut one in ten. Of the native white population only furty-six out of every one thousand, or fewer than one in twenty, of the for- eign born whites, 128 out of every 1000, and of the negroes negroes 44 out of every 1000 are illiterate. International comparisons, restricted as far as possible to corresponding classes of the population, are on the cating that in most European countries illiteracy is much more prevalent than it is here, although the United States is still far behind Germany, Sweden and Norway, Denmark and Switzerland. There is also ground for satisfaction in the statistical evidence that illiteracy is steadily being reduced. In 1890 the number of illiterates per 1000 was 133 for the total population, 62 for the native white population, 1% for the foreign bern white and & for negroes, Indians and Mongolians. Females Are Improving. The femai2 sex is shown to be more illiterate than the male, the filliteracy for females being 112 per 1000 and for males 101. But the contract is less marked than it was in 1890, when the ll- literacy for the two sexes was 144 and 123 respectively. In explanation_of the fact that the girls have caught up with the boys, it is suggested that boys are less sub- ject to parental control than girls and more prone to play truant, and that they are also more frequently required to contribute to the family income by becoming wage earners when they should be in school. Commenting on this condition, the bulletin says: “Thus the changes which are fn progress point to the com- ing of a time when females of all ages will be less illiterate than the males. They also point to the coming of a time in the more remote future when illit- eracy for all classes will have practi- cally disappeared and equality of the sexes in this respect will thus be re- stored tn a millennium of literacy.” City Childrem More Literate. In the country the illiteracy among children is 89 per thousand; In the city, using this term to designate collective- ly cities of over 2,000 inhabitants, ff Is only 10 per thousand. The contrast is least in the North Atlantic States. Ino this section child illiteracy in the city is 8 per thousand and in the country 6 ner thousand. —_ acnaii then the fun begins. if the woluan has @ friend with her she Wisi exciaim as if in surprise: ‘Why, 1 have a sugar bowl just like this pattern,’ and turn- her companion for confirmation, nues with: ‘How nice a creamer dd be if 1 could get one to maich. there a cream pitcher in this de- ign?’ “By that time I am ‘on,’ and so are the resi of the clerks.

SPELLING A LOST ART IN CLEVELAND “Gat” and “Dog” and Duty” Hard for Public School Pupils. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 9.—There is a revival of interest in spelling now g0- ing on in the Cleveland public schools and school teachers, especiaily in the lower grades, are paying especial atten- tion to this brancn of work. Frequently presidents of the colleges say many pupils ye to their institu- tions weil prepared with the exception of their spelling. Years ago the popular old fashioned spelling bee did much to develop goud spellers, but the — ing bee is almost a thing of the ar » sare. Emma Davis, who is super- visor of the language and reading work fn the lower grades of the schools has sent out circulars to the teachers in which, among other things, the im- portance of good spelling ts emphasized. “One inevitable cause of poor spell- ing. is the composite nationality of our upils, more than 36 per cent being of pean parentage,’ says Miss Dzavis. “Still another cause is the wider range and cee eee of thought of the youth of today than in the ‘good old

HUSBAND FISHING DURING HONEYMOON That Was Only Beginning of Neglect Charged Divorce Bill. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—“My husband has been mean to me from the very be- ginning of our married life. In the | midst of our honeymvon he went away for whole days and nights, fishing and} driving. He has sent me out on er- rands when it was raining bucketsful, and I will never live with him again.” In these words Mrs. Patrick J. Mc- Nulty, wife of the business represen (a- tive of the Drivers and Hostlers’ Tnion of the Department of Street Cleaning, voiced her marital despair in a com- plaint filed in a suit for separation. The plaintiff was married to MeNulty July 6, 1898, and they parted last Sep- tember. Mrs. McNulty asserts that, although her husband has property valued at $7,- 000, he has abandoned her and left her without means of support. |

TOT SAVES PAPA IN FATAL DUEL Held in His Arms While Six Bullets of Adversary Miss. ALTOONA, Pa., Dec. 9.—An extraordl- nary duel to the death, in which a child was so held as a human shield to save the survivor, has been fougnot here. John Connor, aged 26 years, shot and Killed Charles brough, aged 3, in a duel at Prough’s house. Twelve shots were fired between the two and the shooting occurred over Conner’s wife and child.

Neb., Dec. 9.—After crossing the ocean to wed an Omaha woman, Henry Dawson, of Sheffield, England, found that his bri de-to-be had jilted hm and married another man. He has since disappeared and the police fear that he has taken his own life. Dawson left a steamer trunk in Neu- man’s store at $23 South Thirteenth street, saying he would return for it in a few hours, . After several days Mr. Neuman noti- fied the police of the presence of the trunk in his store. Neuman stated that Dawson, when he entered his store,. seemed very much = and was evidently ina hurry to eave After Neuman granted permission for the trunk to be left in his place, Daw- son told him that he came all the way from Sheffield to marry a young wo- man in Omaha whom he had heen cor- responding with for two years, but when he called at the address given him he found that she had, several] months ago, married another man and gone to Chi- cago to live.

HATS COME OFF 10 BE JILTED WITH TENDER WORDS Women Flattered by Evange-

list Respond to His Meek. Request. Special to the Post-Dicpatch. WINCHESTER, Va., Dec. 9.—“You la- dies wear the biggest hats I ever saw in all my travels as an evangelist, and, for the convenience of those behind you, | must request that you take them off.” So spoke the Rev. John E. Brown, the noted Missouri! evangelist, who con- ducted a great revival at Braddock street Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Brown said that it was impossible to preach to flowers, dead birds and plumes, no matter how pretty and ex- pensive they may be. Women composed the larger part of the congregation, and he said he want- ed to look them square in the face and tell them they could get to heaven on their good looks, for the Virginia girls, he thinks, are the prettiest and most attractive he has ever seen. These few words caused every hat to come off tnstantly.

VACCINATION LOSES 10 TRUANT LAW Parents of School Children Not Held for Non-Attend- ance. Special to the Tcst-Dispateh. HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 9¥.—Upon an opinion just rendered to State Superin- tendent of Pubiic Instruction Schaeffer by Attorney-General Carson, “you can- not, under the compulsory educatian law, impose a fine upon parents of guardians for the non-attendance of ptu- piis who have been excluded from the public schools on the ground that they do not present a certificate of success- ful vaccination.” The two laws have conflicted so se- verely under the State Health Commis- sioner’s orders to exciude all pupils not vaccinated and Supt. Schaeffer's orders to arvYest parents of pupils who belonged in school but failed to attend that the Superintendent appealed to the Attor- ney-General. ‘The result is the nullifica- tion of compulsory vaccination where it conflicts with health.

Prime Minister Balfour —ashamed of the anomalous position which he has, for the last six months, f)feceupied,as the leader of a govern- ment which lacked the. confidence of yithe British people, has placed his resig- : ‘nation in the hands of Edward VII.

The tide of public sentiment was so unmistakably against him that in order to save whatever prestige his party may have had left, his best policy, undoubtedly, was to place his resigna- Ap in the hands of his sovereign. he new government—merely a make- shitt—will hold ~office Only until the resu of the general election is an- noun This ‘may occur during the present month, but in all probability it will be deferred until January.

On investigation the police found that Haydon Buchanan haa brougnt his newly-wedded wife to his home from Louisville, Ky. He is a mem- ber of the Red Men and they, attired in their war paint, gave him an ‘old-time charivari.

One of the most interesting things Mrs. Barney learned abroad is that one should dress according to the color of one’s soul, It is a surprise to the un- illuminated to know their souls have colors.

But Mrs. Barney and all her cult long ago learned tnat souls have hues and that a woman must wear only the shade which matches her soul, or there will be mental and spiritual con- fusion, It one wants to be on the safe side in choosing one’s gown, the best way is to take a course of training under a Ba- bist.

HOW THE SaU CONGRESS LOOK a! an Warner of Missouri One of the Interesting Figures in the Senate. eee ALABAMA’S AGED SOLONS Pettus, 84, and Morgan, 81, Are Still Strong Despite Their Years.

DEPEW A FALLEN IDOL

Gorman and Foraker Not So Radiant Since Recent Elec- tions Hit Them.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 9. HE usual] interest in a new Con- gress is accentuated this year by the fact that the Fifty-ninth is the first Roosevelt Congress, chosen in the same election with the President. And its politics Is almost as one-sided as was the vote which made Mr. Roose- velt President in his own right. The Senate includes 5 Republicans, two of them under conviction of crime and not present. La Follette, when he takes his seat, as he has announced he will do, will make 56. Delaware has a vacancy, and there are 33 Democrats. The House roll shows 114 Democrats and 273 Republicans, with two of the Republicans, Williamson and Hermann, of Oregon, not expected to attend be- cause of other engagements with the courts at home, growing out of some famous real estate transactions. There are 87 “baby’’ members of the House, and a lucky 13 of the Senate. Of the new Senators, all except Warner of Missouri, who was elected by his Legislature on the last day of the last Congress; Frazier of Tennessee, Brande- gee of Connecticut and La § Follette, were sworn in at the special Senate session ljlast spring. Opening week is also a bittersweet oc- casion, with its mingled memories of the departed, its regreis for the favor- ites who have fallen, and its congratula- tions for the new champions. Asked for Depew. There was tmuch inquiry in the gal- leries for Senator Depew. He was p?int- ed out probably as often in former open* ing days, but it is doubtful if the atten- tion now is quite so ploasing to the Sen- ator as in other years. It ts often com- mented that he has greatly aged of late, and the easy air was not so apparent as of yore. Likewise Senator Platt of New York is the subject of frequent comment, re- lating largely to his late political renais- sance, or resurrection, or whatever it be called. Like his colleague, he shows age more than ever, despite the renewal of his political youth. Senator Pettus of Alabama, in his 85th year, and Senator Morgan, his colleague, in his 82d, and irreconcilable as ever, are the nestors of the Senate. Both are vigorous, hearty, active. Sen- ator Morgan’s capacity for work con- tinues the wonder and the admiraticen of all who know him, and he looks as if he still had a goodly supply of canal speeches concealed on his person. In point of Senatorial service, William Bovd Allison of Iowa ts first, not onlv in this Congress, but in the history of the Senate. He ts serving his sixth con- ~ secutive term In the Senate, and before he became a Senator was four times élocted to the House. He is in his 77th year. As chairman of the Republican Steering Committee he is the nominal boas of the Senate, while as chairman of the Appropriations Committee he has more power of the purse than any other man in America. Just a few months younger than Alli- son, and one of the veterans in service, comes Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois. De- spite that he entered his 77th year two weeks ago, he will be the leader of the great fight for rate legislation. -Knmot Looms, Another man of whom large things are expected, and who receives much atten- tion, Is Knox of Pennsylvania. A little man with a big brain is this new leader of the Keystone Republicans. He is one of the closest advisers of the President in the rate legislation program. Proba- bly he is the most potent single factor in the quiet effort to bring understand- ing and peace between the Administra- ion and the railroads by convincing the latter that it isn’t worth their while to fight. Modestly he wears the mantle which Quay handed down to Penrose and which the latter, none too willingly, turned over, somewhat the worse for vevere usage, to his junior col.eague. Penrose and Gorman are pointed out aS among the mighty who have fallen in @siate. The late upheavals in Penn- eyivania and Maryland left their status sadly disturbed, much as Senators Dick and Feraker suffered in radiunce from the recent beclouding - the Ohio politi- eal sky.

New England has lost in Platt and * Hawley of Connecticut, two of its at- “‘tractive senatorial figures. ‘here were _ few wiser or more influential men in his time than Platt. He stood for the Sturdy type of rugged, scholarly, ear- nest New # Englaad statesmanship which, though he is gone, is yet spien- aidly represented in those towering spe- vimens trom the forests of the Pine Tree State, Frye and Hale. _. In them the State of Reed and Blaine and Diogley and Hamlin is fittingly rep- Yesented. [hey came to the Senate just _ two weeks apart, Hale on March 4, 181, and Frye, ‘by appointment to succeed plaiae, March 18 of that year. loth > had had long and notable careers in the + Mouse, and both have served continu- - ously since; tlafo has twice refused to IN FIRST WEEK scolar in politics, New England must not be denied its right to the pride it takes in Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts. Smoot Looks Well. Senator Reed Smoot looks éxceeding- ly well despite the bombardment of lit- erature and resolutions and oratory to which he has been so relentlessly sub- jected by the women’s organizations of the country. He is the object of eager requests by ladies to have him pointed out. A much misunderstood man fast coming into his own by reason of who is his real merits, is Tillman of South Carolina. He has made his mistakes in the past, and he has his political troubles—plenty of them--at home at present. But he is looked upon 4s one of the Democratic leaders, a man of high purposes and large abilities, for whom larger recognition is certain. Nol unlike him in this regard is Bailey of Texas, who, like Tillman, was sooner wiven a fair appraisal by his close as- but who is. the with soclates than by the public, coming to be understood as one of strongest men of his party. Indeed, Culberson and Bailey, the largest State in the Union has a representation that is highly creditable. The richest man in the Senate, when he is also put down in many lists as the second richest man in the world, is sure to attract attention. Clark of Mon- tana does not look any of the things that are said and written and believed about him. As a shuw plece he is al- together disappointing. His whiskers are now too far to the gray to be in- teresting. Carter Glad to Get Back. The colleague of the richest Senator, ‘*Tom’’ Carter, holder of the long-dis- tance, go-as-you-please talking cham- pionship, is a new and also an old Sen- Ator. He comes back after six years’ retirement, and right well he is pleased | to come back, his intimates say. Sen- ator Carter went out six years ago a poor man, went back to his Montana home, traded in coppers, made a snug fortune, bought himself a palace in Helena, and is back in his senatorial! seat again. The class of new Senators includes some interesting figures. Many of them are victors of long and determined leg- islative contests, Senator Warner of Missour! having been chosen after the Republicans of the Legislature, in cau- cus, had- actually cast their votes for another man, Niedringhaus. Between caucus and the joint session a faction fignt was sprung, some of Niedringhaus’ support dropped him, and he never was in sight of election again. It was just one more of the tragedies of politics. Out of it comes Maj. Warner of Kan- sas Clty. And there is Joe Blackburn-of Ken- tucky, almost or quite the last of his beioved race of swashbuckling Southern Statesinen; eloquent, flery, generous, beloved of his people, and admired of everybody; never accused of being a great statesman, but always one of the most striking and interesting figures in the Senate. He doesn't believe the Kentucky machine has defeated him, and has been making the fight of his Lie life for control of Legislature. Against Rate Control. A most interesting group of public men includes those vigorous politicians —Elkins, Foraker, Aidrich and Kean, who, from their places on the Inier- state Commerce Committee, have been raiher modestly thundering a some- what mild article of defiance against the administration plan of railroad con- trol. It is up to them to prove whether Senatorial rules and courtesy can again serve the purpose of defeatine the leg islation on which the Presiient, the House, and a majority of the Senate are bent. They are mast-rs of the arts of i-gislative manipulation, and whether they win or lose it is certain they will force their opponents to use every re- bill. One of them, Foraker, ‘s included the lists of presidential possibilities. chance, of course, being dependent the possibility of a complete revvlution inside the Republican party, which would place in power the elements and interests now outside the administra- '! tion breastworks and g'rding themselves for a determined contest against dominatign of the White House. Among the new Senators there is sne- cial interest in Elmer J. Burkett of Ne- hraska, who barely over 15 years ago was ringin the college hall bell to sound the class periods at a iittle coun- try college at Tabor, Ilo. He was ad- mitted to practice 1aw in Nebraska only 12 years ago, and since then ne has served threc terms in the tower House of Congress and one in the Nebraska ink His | teresting | PIANOS of many political battles, and their scars have come in winning victories.

See TO BECOME CRIMINALS BY DIME NOVELS —_——_-+———- “Tf All the Boys in This Town Who Have Helped Us Were in Here the Jail Would Be a Full,” R fication of a desire to be “bold tlars,’’ have combined to close tne doors of the Macon County Jail at De- vatur upon eix boys, who, in addition to being charged with specific crimes, are accused of being the most trouble- some band the local authorities have had to deal with in years. Not one is over 19 years of age, and yat the gang of which these six are alleged to be members, has operated sumtessfully here for months. The police say Earle Dodge, aged 139, and Pierce Culp, aged 16, are leaders. The other four are Harry Stevens, Ear! > DECATUR, lLl., Dec. 9. BDADING dime novels, association with bad company and the grat'- 5 Parmenter, Roy James and Charlies Bar- ber. They range in age from 17 to 19 years, and the police believe that they are not as old in the business as Culp and Dodge. These two are not worried at being iIn~ Jail, and boast of their work and joke at their prospects of going to the Reform School. “We are up against it,’ said Culp, “ahd to the Reform School we will go. { gee that coming. We are burglars, But if we had aljl the boys who have helped “us to do @ifferent jobs the Jail would be filled.” . Started in Crime at 12. Culp has been to the Reform School for one term of two years. He was ar- rested when only 12 years old for steal- ing brass, and was found guilty and sentenced. He reformed to all out- Ward appearances, after returnine home, but the police now say he only bécame more skilled in stealing and deeper in the planning and execution of tis thefts. He is a pale-faced little fellow, of innocent appearance, and no “@ne would ever pick him out as a boy who could deliberately plan a robbery _tnduce other boys to assist him anda then execute the burrlary with as much dare and success as a veteran.

The helpless parents felt that, per- haps, the reform school would change his life, but, in spite of their efforts to direct the boy in the right path he has continued his lawlessness unti] now, at the age of only 16 years, he has a crime record of which he is proud, and laughs at his prospects of conviction. Keeps Details to Himself. While he boasts in a general way of his robberies and evasion of the police, Culp does not confess any details. He is far too cunning to tell anything which will increase his sentence. Earle Dodge, the other leader, while no better than Culp, is of another type. He is rougher in his manner and can stand up before an officer and bluff and argue his innocence with such force that one not knowing otherwise, would believe his story. The boy’s mother is heart-broken. A few weeks ago, realizing that her son was inclined to be in mischief, she moved to Mattoon, Ill. in the hopes of saving him from evil companions. But it did little good. Dodge meade his way back to Decatur only to commit another crime, and be arrested, Faith- ful to him even in his guilt, the moth- er visited her son in the jail when she learned of his capture. The sad meeting seems not to have affected the youth. He is as jolly as though he had his freedom, and seems proud of what he has done. The other four boys at first assumed the same manner, but they appear to have some realization of their position and pretest that they have not long been law breakers. The police say that, while the arrest of the six will probably break up the gang for a time at least, there are others who have been implicated In its work. The planning of the different rob- beries was carefully done and the lead- ers got hows They were far-sighted enough to Hmit the number of participants in each rob- bery sufricient to Insure success. Rare- ly more than three aid in a burgiary and some of the thefts were committed single handed. Operated Three Years. For three years at least this gang has been making trouble and from time to time gathering new recruits. Cheap novel reading seems to have been the chief means of winning new members to the cause of crime, When the lead- ers decided a boy would be a good “pal” they took him into thelr novel-reading cirele, When the last round-up was made by the officers Culp, Jones and Stevens were caught in the act of entering a

assistance from many other

store. One waited on the outside while the other two entered and they would not surrender until the officers fired at them. The same night the other three of the crowd were arrested to prevent their escape, There followed a series of confessions from some of the boys and it developed that different ones of the six were guilty of robbing the Key] grocery store and stealing about $100, of attempting to break into several other stores and of

a@ smooth theft.of $75 from a tea store

during the busy hours of the day. Con- fessions were also made regarding minor crimes. The police have since learned that Dodge stole $300 from Bert Bozgza, an actor, who left the money in a dressing | room of a theater while he was per- forming. These are only the more re- cent thefts which are charged against the crowd. All of the boys are held to await the action of the grand jury in default of , bond in the sum of $800 in each case.

Bowermaster had been killed. Bowermaster, @ young merchant, went down the street, and when he turned a corner a big beast approached him from the opposite corner. He took of uis overcoat and flung it at the bear as he ran, but still the bear followed. Barely had he got in his store door and turned the key when the pursuer came to the door. Failing to return the young wife be- came alarmed and called in Ira Gib- son and Jes Jackson, to find her hus- band. They found his overcoat and sus- nected foul play. Next they discovered | by the dim street light a big, dark ani- | mal coming toward them and concluded Bowermaster must have been torn to nieces. Unarmed, they lost no time in retreat- | ing and sounding the alarm. Scores of | men were aroused to help kill the | bear. Word was passed down the line, ‘hat the beast was seen going toward | the White ia | barn, and later that it, had ertered. he army of men lined up in front of the big barn doors and awaited a few moments for the appear- ance of their prey.

One of the most striking features of the story which has been repeated ‘throughout Mexico and the United States was the effort of Meredith to prevent extradition from the States by throwing himself into a state of cata- lepsy in which he remained for two months to the bewilderment of medical science, which, at length, however, found that he was shamming, and forced him to show it by injecting ; whisky and making him so drunk that he lost his will power. Simultaneously with the issuance of indictments charging fraud in Roches- ter, N. Y., Leslie E. Hurlbert, a lawyer, his wife, Helen, and his brother-in-law, William Mitchell, disappeared. It was in May, 1901. About that time there arrived in Chihauhau, Charles T. Richardson and wife. They stopped at the home of J. M. Leitch, where also boarded J. F.

On the other hand, Miss Hamilton does not seem to be much concerned as to whether or not she is forgiven by the church, and, in this she ts said to be upheld by other wealthy Catholics in society. The “divorce rule’ has never been very strictly enforced in Omaha in the past, and when the priests in every church in the diocese read an iron-clad pastoral from Bishop Scannell on that subject two weeks ago Catholics began to look around.to see who had offended. It was then discovered that cards were oul announcing the marriage of Con- gresstaan Kennedy and Miss Margaret Pritchett and that Miss. Mae Hamilton was to be maid of honor. Mr. Kennedy's first wife is still living, and while both he and Miss Pritchett are both Protes- tants, Miss Hamilton is a Catholic and, by the.

Quartet of Smiths Wanted a Minister Named Smith to Say Ceremony, but One Did Not Live in Their Town. LOUISIANA, Mo., Dec. 9 OUR Smiths were united in two F mariages here, ard the uniqr: double ceremony has no parallel. Miss Lucy Mae Smith married itober, E. Smith and Miss Mabel Smith became the wife of Oscar Qunicy Smith. The brides are sisters, and the bridegrooms fast friends, but not known to be re- lated. The contracting parties have traced their ancestry back to New York, and ill believe that they are distantly re- ated. lt would be a difficult matter, However, to establish definite facts in this particular, on account of the thou- sands of persons of thé Smith family tree, It is rare when a young woman be- comes a bride and her name is not changed. It is rarer still when two of them do the same thing. Additionally 30 when they do so at the same time. For sisters to experience these coinci- , lences, taking friends, not relatives, in ‘he bargain, and when the friends are iso Smiths, it Nothing in the matrimonial line like it as ever been enacted in Louisiana, Mo., ind may never again.

WORRY OVER THEFT

Son of Postmistress Confesses Taking Check From Letter and Loses Mind. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DES MINES, Io., Dec. 9.—C. E. Hart, a young man residing at Cor- dova, Io., and acting as deputy for his | mother, Mrs. M. E. Hart, the Cordova Postmistress, has confessed to rob- bing the mails and forging the name of Cc. E. Ballard. After his confession he gave back the money he stole, left Cordova, went to Knoxville, Io., and there went insane and has just been incarcerated at the State Hospital at Mount Pleasant. Hart, about ten days ago, opened a letter containing a check for $44.50 which was made and which the latter had indorsed in blank and mailed to his bank at Knoxville, Io. Hart took the check letter to Knoxville, III. He then came to Des Moines and rep- resented himself to be C. E. Ballard, cashing the check at a store, where he made some purchases, When Ballard missed the check he began an investigation and young Hart confessed everything. Ballard decided not to push the case, and Hart left Cordova. He has been looked upon as a peculiar character by resi- dents of Cordova for some time. He is barely 21 years of age and two years ago became wildly infatuated with a widow some years his senior, Mrs. Belle Hollingsworth, whom he married as soon as he came of age. Prolific Belgian Hares, A few years an Indfan on the Coeur d'Alene reservation took to the reservation two ‘Belgian hares.’ Their descendants are now nunmrberéd by tens of thousands and they are devastating the crops of white eettlers far and near. To make matters worse, the In- dians believe that to kill a ratbit or hare rings bad luck.

oO” tet) MADE YOUTH INSANE TRUTH G “13” GETS NEGRO IN: ETS HIM OUT oA

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 9. Carolus in the Police Court when

ONESTY was rewarded by Judge ter, Abe Dowdell, a negro saloon por- was granted a stay of execution after having been fined $0 on the charge

of selling liquor on Sunday without a

in favor of Ballard license. Police Detectives Ryan and Hetherington arrested Dowdell Oct. 13 for selling half-pint flasks of whisky in a shed in the rear of saloon. The detectives confiscated 11 bottles of whisky and the negro admitted at the time that he had sold two: bottles. When Dowdell went on the witness

stand in the Police Court he promptly admitted his guilt. “Ah hed 13 bottles of whisky,” said the negro, “‘an’ Ah sold two on ‘em.” “What did you get for them?” he was asked, “Ah got ‘skinned,’ ” with a hearty guffaw. “What do you mean by saying - you ‘got skinned?’ ”’ replied the negro, ‘Huh. doan you'se know what gittin’ ‘skinned’ outer yer silvah means? Well, suh, de man what bought dem two bottles nevah has paid me.” “What price were you to receive?” “Ah wuz to git 15 cents for one and 2% cents for the other.” “What did you intend to do with all the whisky you had in that buggy shed?” the City Attorney asked. “Ah wuz gwine to take it home.”

“‘I'se Done Been Cotch Selling Whiskey Wid Out Lissens So I Mout Es Well Profess,’’ Says Darkey on Witness Stand. “Why didn’t you carry it in a jug?” “Ah wuz skeered that the Jaw’ might meet up wid me an’ ask what I hed.” “Now, as a@ matter of fact, you in- tended to sell all of that whisky didn’t you?” “How'd you know, Boss?’ “Well, I know you did, and you had better tell the truth about it.” “Wall, Ah reckon you'se ‘bout right. Ah'll be honest ‘bout it; Ah did intend to sell it all, but ‘the law’ got to me afo’ Ah got rid ob it.’’ Judge Carolus said he thought the negro’s horesty should be rewarded, so after a fine of $0 had been imposed, the porter was granted a stay of exe- cution on his promise never to again operate a “blind tiger.” HEAP MUCH NOTHING. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. IGNACE, Mich., Dec. 9%.-—After waiting 33 years for money due them

the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, de- scendants of the wards of the Govern- ment under the treaty of 1855, find that the sum amounts to only $2 for each persen. They drew an annuity up to 1872, but the paymaster who was to dis- tribute the money was drowned on the lakes and his records were lost with him. Charles 8. McNichols, an agent of the Indian Bureau, now in the upper pen- insula taking a census of the prospective beneficiaries, states that there is only about $8768 due the Indians, who num- her 4000 or more, and are scattered about in various portions of the north coun- try.

Y., says: “I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is ex- cellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Castoria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says: “It affords me pleasure to add my name to the long list of - those who have used and now en- dorse vour Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recommendation of any physician. I know of its good qualities and recommend it cheer- fully.”

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satis- factory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thcroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medicines of this character are obnoxious and there- fore difficult of administration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything that I ever prescribed.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: “I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know.some- thing about your great medicine and aside from my own family experi- ence, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and effi- cient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says: “As a practicing physician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N. Y., says: “I -have used your Castoria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe and reliable remedy.” Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says: “After using your Castoria for children for yeags it annoys me greatly to have an ig- norant druggist substitute some. thing else, especially to the patient’s disadvantage, as in this case. I en- close herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kanses City, Mo., says: “Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepara- tions, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has’ taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Cas- toria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a

“THE GIFTS of-THE -MAGI Copyright, 1905, by the Press Publish- ing Co. ‘One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And 60 cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at *% time by bulldozing the grocér and vegetable man and the butcher until atjie’s cheeks burned with the silent im- putation of parsimadny that such close dealing implied. Three times. Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-sev- en cents. And the next day would be | Christmas. s There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which in- stigates the moral reflection that life is.made up of sobs, sniffies and smiles, with sniffies predominating. While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, tale a look at the home. A. furnished fiat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, ‘but it cértainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad. In the vestibule below belonged to this fiat a letter box into which no let- ter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also appertaining thereunto ‘Was a card bearing the name ‘Mr. James Dillingham Young.”’ The “Diilingham’’ had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the in- .come had shrunk to $20, the letters of “Dillingham’’ looked blurred, as though they were thinking seriously of con- tracting to a modest and unassuming But whenever Mr. James _ Dilling- ham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called ‘Jim’ and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dilling- ham Young, already introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good. Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stcnd by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every pen- ny she could for months, with this re- sult. ‘Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and ster- hing—something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. There was a pier-glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen a plier-glass in an $8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rap d se- quence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art.

Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within 20 seconds. Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length. Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim’s gold watch that had been his father’s and his grandfather's. The other was Della’s hair. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry and mocked at Her Majesty’s jewels

und gifts. Had King Solomon the janitor with all his treasures piled up in the basement Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed just to sea him pluck at his beard trom envy. So now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her, rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. On went her old brown jacket; on been

went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. Where she stopped the sign read: “Mme. Sofronie, Hair Goods of all Kinds.” One flight up Della ran,. and collected herself,” panting, before mad- ame, large, too white, chilly and hard- ly looking the Sofronie. “Will you buy my hair?” asked Del- la. “I buy hair,” said madame. “Take your hat off and let’s have a sight at the looks of it.” Down rippled the brown cascade.

fed her.

“Twenty dollars,”” said madame, lift- ing the mass with a practiced hand. “Give it to me quick,”’ said Della. Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings. Forget the hashed metaphor. She was ransacking the stores for Jim’s present. She found it at last. It surely had been made for Jim and no one else. There was none other like it in any of the stores, and she had turned all of them inside out. It was a platinum fob chain, simple and chaste in design. prop- erly proclaimMg its value by its sub- Stance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation—as_ all good's§ things should do. It was even worthy of the watch. As soon as she saw it she knew that it must be Jim’s. It was like him Quietness and value—the description ap- plid to both. Twnty-one dollars they | took from her for it, and she hurried home with the ‘87 cents. With that chain ov his watch Jim might be prop- erly anxious about the time in any com- pany. Grand as the watch was, «he sometimes looked at it on the Sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain. When Della reached home her intox!i- cation gave way a little to prudence and reason. She got out her curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work repairing the ravages made by gener- osity added to love. Which is always a tremendous task, dear friends—a mammoth task. Within 40 minutes her head was cov- ered with tiny, close-lying curls that made her look wonderfully like a truant schoolboy. She looked at her reflection in the mirror long, carefully and crit- ically. “If Jim doesn’t kill me,” she said to herself, ‘‘before he takes a second look at me, he’ll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what cou!d I do —oh, what could I do with a dollar and ighty-seven cents!”’ At 7 o'clock the coffee was made and the frying pan was.on the back of the stove hot and ready to cook the chops. Jim was never late. Della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered Then she heard his step on the stair away down on the first filght, and she turned white for just a moment. She had a habit of saying little silent prayers about the simplest everyday things, and now she whispered: “Please, God make him think I am still pretty.”’ The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and very ‘erious. Poor fellow, he was only 22— and to be burdened with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was with- out gloves. Jim stopped inside the door, as :im- movable as a setter at the scent of juail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, ind there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terri- It was not anger, nor sur- prise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor iny of the sentiments that she had been prepared for. He simply stared at her fixedly with that pecullar expres- Sion on his face. Della wriggled off the table and went for him. “Jim, darling,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I had my hair cut off iad sold it because I couldnt have lived through Christmas without giving you 4 present. It'll grow out again—you won't mind, will you? I just had to do it. My hair grows awfully fast. Say ‘Merry Christmas!’ Jim, and let’s be happy. You don't know what a nice— What a beautiful, nice gift I’ve got for you.” “You've cut off you hair?” asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after the lardest mental labor. “Cut it off and sold it,’ said Della “Don't you like me just as well, any- how? I'm me without my hair, ain't I?” Jim looked about the room curiously. “You say your hair is gone?’ hi sald, with an air almost of idiocy. “You needn't look for it,’’ said Della “It's sold, I tell you—sold and gone, oo. It's Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered,” she vent on with a sudden serious sweet- “but nobody could ever count my ve for yéu. Shall I put the chops on, OSs, Jim?" Out of his trance Jim seemed to uickly wake. He enfolded-his Della or ten seconds let us regard with dis- creet scrutiny some inconsequential ob ect In the other direction. Bight dol irs a week or a million a year—what s the difference? A mathematician 0: 1 wit would give you the wrong an wer. The magi brought valuable gifts, ut that was not among them. Thi: lark «assertion will be illuminatec iter on. Jim drew a package from coat pocket and threw it upon the tabie “Don't make any mistake, Dell,” he his over-

] said, “about me. I don’t think there's anything in the way of the haircut or @ shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going awhile at first.” White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and walls, necessitating the immediate em- ployment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat. For there lay The Combs—the set of combs, side and back, that Della hed worshipped for long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs. pure turtois shell, with jew: lled rims—just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hatr. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her ‘heart had Simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now they were

hers, but the tresses that were to have adorned the coveted adofnments were gone. But she hugged ‘them to her .bosom, and at length she was able ta loox up with dim eyes and @ smile and say: ‘My hair grows so fast, Jim!" And then Della leaped up Hke a little singed cat and cried, ‘Oh, oh!” Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eageriy upon her open palm. The dull, precious metal seemed to flash with a reficction of her bright and ardent spirit. “Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find {t. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Inetead of obeying, Jim tumbled down yn the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. ‘Dell,”’ said he, ‘let's put our Christ-

mas presents away and while. They're too nice to use’ present. I sold the watch to money to buy your combs. A suppose you put the chops on.”” The magi, as you know. men—wonderfully wise brought gifts to the Babe in t ger. They invented the art of si Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange. in case of duplication. And here I -have lamely related to you the unevefitful chronicle of two foolish children @ a flat who most unwisely sacrificed” for each other the greatest treasures, of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were of the wisest. Of all who give and‘ re- ceive gifts, such as they are the wit Everywhere they are the wisest, are the magi.

Ac- cording to the statement made by the lawyer for the plaintiff it Is the fact that the husband was about to take the children away from their mother that induced Mrs. Emmert to take ac- ‘lon for dtvorce. Fight for Children. Mrs. Emmert has engaged the serv- ices of a prominent lawyer to *fight the suit and the battle between hus- band and wife will be waged princl- pally for the custody of the children. It is understood that Mr. EBmmert, to back up his answer, will bring coun- ‘er charges against his wife. Mr. Emmert is placed in the millton- irejclass here. He is the president of ‘he Black Mountain Railway Co., the tlack Mountain Coal and Coke Co. and the vice-president of the Caldwell & Dulaney Investment Co., and is a direct- or of the St. Charles Coal and Coke Co. He is also interested in many finan- elal interests in this State, and other parts of the South. Mrs. HBmmert is 2 daughter of Capt. James H. Robinson of Greenville, wno has long held the position of being one of the leading men, both financially and politically, in Tennessee. Her brother, Bird M. Rob- mson of New York, is prominent in Wall street and lives in 482 Central Park West. The marriage of William B. Emmert and Miss Robinson was one of the so- cial affairs of the year in Greenville. Tenn, which for many years had been the home of the Robinson family. Mr Emmert had been in that section of the country for several weeks on railroad business when he met Miss Robinson the daughter of thé wealthiest man in the town, and it was a case of falline in love at first sieht. He had gone there in the interests of a railroad comnany in which he was a lar¢e stock- holder. The courtship was short and evervhbody thorcht they would have ‘the happiest of lives. Serious. Charges Made. It was not until two years ago that gossip began to spread that all was not well in the Emmert home. Mr. Em- mert made many business trips, which his wife explained away as best she could, never for a moment giving the reasons which she suspected to be only too true. Her pride and her love for hec two little ones stood by her through it all, and it was not until she was told her husband was planning to take her children from her that she uecided to make an issue of her troubles in the courts. In the course of her astounding charges Mrs. Emmert alleges that her husband has been guilty.of “gross in- human and cruel treatment” toward her and her children, and that he has practically abandoned her, in that, as she charges, he has been in the habit for months of bolting tne door of his room against her and her children—all of which inflicted wounds.to her wom- anly Sensibilities which never healed. It is generally known that Mr. Em- mert gave his wife the entire legal title to their beautiful home in West Ander- son street, and which title she new re- tains. She also owns in her own right other properties of value, a part of which she alleges her husband has threatened to take from her. An inter- esting charge in her bill is that Mr. Emmert has within the last few months refused to see or talk to her or her children in their own home, but would have them sent by a nurse to the home - his relatives and there go to see them. $5 MONTH TO SPEND. {Judge Divides Man's Salary to Latter’s Disgust.

He made the folowing adaress: Centiemen of the Jury—The best friend a man has in the- world may turn against him, and become his eneny. The son oF daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful, Those who are nearest and dear est to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good nanie, may become traitors to our cause, The money that a man hag he may lose.

He will kiss the hand that has no food to offers — he will lick the wounds and sores — that cone in encounter with the rigors of the worid. He guards the sleep of his_-pauper master as if hé were a prince, When all other friends desert he remaing,. When riches take wings, and rep- utation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens, “If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, thé faith- ful dog asks no tugher privilege than that’ of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master In its embrace and his body is laid away in the eold ground, no: matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head be- tween his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faith- ful ane true even in death.” The effect of the speech is said to have held the courtroom ence spelibound, and when Sen- ator Vest concluded his remarks there was not a dry eye in the house. The case was submitted to tho jury without further argu- ment, and in a very few moments they returned a verdict in favor of the owner of the dog for the fuli amount sued for.

T., Dec. 9.—Dr. McClain of Letitia claims to have killed the first white quail ever reported in Okiahoma, but his claim has brought out this story: A short distance from Pinion City, lives a farmor whose name is Rén Wilson. Three winters ago three little white quail came to his house. They were so tame that they walked into house and roosted on the back of the chairs, When spring came the lit- tle fetlows made a break for the wheat fields and when the wheat was cut they returned to the house with two large coveyvs of young. Last sumer the covey was great'y ir creased, until now it numbers nearly two hundrea. Ben has also a number of white tantam chickens which he is try-

Wrestlers of Mediocre Merit Take Names of Successful Masters of the Mat. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Whenever a wrestier makes a name for himself on the mat he is certain to be confronted with the task of trying to run -lown another grappler who assumes his name. That is just what Fred Beall, the crack Wisconsin wrestler, has to contend with just now. When BeaH came to New York last spring, unheralded and unknown, t. meet ‘om Jenkins for a $1000 side bet in private, very few sports had any idea how clever a man he was. After he succeeded in gaining one fall in this affair he had no trouble in getting all ihe matches he wanted. As the general public has not as yet an idea what Beall looks liké, it was not much trouble for another grappier to take his name and visit territory where Beall has not yet appeared. The spu- rious Beall is said to be in the West at present, where he has been meeting all comers. Fortunately for the genuine Beall the fellow who has taken his name has not thus far been beaten. No one knows who he is, but Harvey Parker. Beall’s manager, is on. his track

and will try to discover the man’s iden- tity, if such a thing is possible. Beall is now in the East. His last match was with Jem Parr of England. whom he defeated in handy fashion Geall is pulling the wires for a bout with Frank Gotch, and it looks as if he latter will have to meet the Wis- Parker has posted a forfeit to bind the match, and if is satisfied to go on with it a elub in that city will offer the men a good-sized purse. Beall, in his first contest Buffalo in Buffalo.

HO FIGURES ON THE FISHERMAN Statisticians Find It Impossible to Register Number of Dis- ciples of Walton. Inethis age of Statistics, when every- thing from poetry to shoemaking has to be turned into figures and made the subject of comparative tables, it is ebeerful to find something that has escaped the man witn tne mathematical mind. This censusless and statisticless thing is the ancient and honorable sport of fishine There are a thousand men who go

biling. the army of fishermen would look like a minnow pail compared to the ocean. The hunters of. the country probably now show uv in @ ratio of one to ten unglers. Tnus it is that the greatest sport of North America, pursued by the greatest number of people next to baseball, pro- ducing al) enormous annual revenue to railroads, hotel owners, guides, makers and boat bui:ders has never won a place in the statistics of the United ge hae old, honest Izaak Walton never was too anxious to weigh his goodly fishes with s.eelyard.

A declaration Is attributed to License Col- lector Clifford of St. Louis to the effec: that he thought the proper officers would enforce the law, the fact that the law referred to has heen on the statute books for years is no mention in the game laws of the State about hunting on the first day a the week, and Deputy Game Wardens have received no instructions to arrest licensed hunters for gunning on Sun- davs. The enforcement of this law fs up to the sheriffs and constables of the various counties as are all other gen- eral statutes, many of which, older than the one in question are considered ; tters. wes. tact remains, however, that such a law exists, and that it is obnoxious te the man who labors six days a week, and has no other time to enjoy hunting save on Sunday.

A game a party of two say with one bunch of 50 quail, he may require the bearer of the burden to prove that he did not kill them all, a little matter which may cause him trouble and time. So you see it would place all above suspicion and gave argument and probable court if all hunters would carry their own game. SPORT ACROSS THE SEA.

There was a double-header schedu.eJ and his batting average for the day was 535. So much for superstition.

Strange Union of P. L, Bryant and Mrs. Powell Causes Litigation.

WIFE HAS SINCE DIED

Lawyers’ Feud in St. Louis Car- ried Into New Madrid and Dunklin Counties.

St. Louis attorneys who returned yes terday from Kennett, Mo., where they were in attendance at the slander suit of J. V. Conran of New Madrid agains 2ertrand F. Fenn of St. Louts, told of developments in the trial which brough to light the remarkable marriage of Mrs. Mal H. Powell, aged 48, now dead and Percy L. Bryant, aged 28, formerly of St. Louis, now in Los Angeles, Cal. Bryant says he became the husband of a woman 20 years older than he. whom he ‘did not love, solely in orde to enable her to gain an advantage ir litigation with J. V. Conran. He de- clares that his marriage was so muct an act of accommodation that he neve even até at the same table with hi: wife. Tt is not until after death has releasec him from the marital contract that the facts have become known. Mrs. Powell was the widow of Jude John E. Powell of New Madrid. Whe: he died he left her a life estate in h’s property, contingent on her remaining a widow. In the event of her marriage or death everything was to go to thei~ two sons, Meade and Chester. The f ;

estate consisted of a town residence | and 3500 acres of land, most of which has been swamp, but is now being drained and is becoming very valuab): Some time after the death of her hur band, Mrs. Powell retained J. V. Con- ran as her attorney. Later she gav him a quit claim deed for her contingen interest in the property and he execut- ed a contract to her, agreeing to pa; her §}%. a@ month as rental for it unt! her marriage or death shculd end her interest in it. Mrs. Powell then removed to S: Louis. She had a disagreement with Conran and employed Bertrand Fenn a her attorney. Marriage an Expedient. A struggle then began between th: two lawyers, which soon developed int: a bitter feud. Suits and counter sul! were filed and every weapon of the lay employed, Mrs. Powell claimed that the quitcla{: deed had been tampered with. An in dictment was returned, but when Cir- cult Attorney Sager looked Into the evi- dence and examined the deed he de cided that there was no case and no!!: prossed the charge. Mrs. Powell brought sult for $650,00 against Conran ,alleging that he haw Slandered her. Conran countered wit}, two suits against Fenn, one asking $506 damages for malicious prosecution an the other $10,000 for slander. He alsc obtained writs of attachment in aid o both suits, by virtue of which he re tained possession of the property. In the meantime Fenn had acquired ‘~ . Ag : 3: * eae ne

to wrest the property from Conran. The marriage of Mrs. Powell would can- cel the deed and terminate the contrac: under which Conran held the property, because her title to it was contingent upon her remaining a widow. By marrying again she would deprive herself of the property, but it would. pass to her youngest son and to Fenn, who had purchased a half interest, and

she preferred that they should have it! rather than Conran should retain {t, The marriage of Mrs. Powell to Bry-| ant was aranged.

COREY READY T0 RESIGN AT END OF YEAR U. 8. Steel Corporation Presi- dent Forced to Defensive Six Months Ago. ( “PUT ON THE CARPET”

Angry Investigating Director- ate Told Him Plainly of Indiscretions.

DINKEY FOR SUCCESSOR?

Head of Carnegie Steel Com- pany Is the Latest Mentioned. -

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Dec. 9.—‘‘Gentlemen, I vill tender my resignation atthe end if the present year, if that will satisfy you.”’ Six months ago President W. Ellis orey of the United States Steel Cor- oration, forced to the defensive by an ingry and investigating directorate, nade this remark in New York. There was a meeting of. the leading ghts of the corporation and Corey had een “put on the carpet’ for certain lleged indiscretions, which directors nd others thought were not in keeping vith the dignity required of the head ‘f a billion dollar trust, and he was old so plainly according to information 1 Pittsburg. It looked for the: time as * Corey's resignation would be demand- d then and there, but his offer’to quit t the end of the year was actepted. But the directors who had _ taken Corey to task, had no inkling that hings were as events have since -roved, and Corey and his friends are waking a hard fight now to hold the jirectors to their tacit promise to let Im finish out the year. Alva C, Dinkey, President of the -arnegie Steel company, is the latest name mentioned as Corey's successor. Mrs. Corey, it appears, shared with aer husband's unélé “J. B. Corey, the fear that Ellis was being elevated too capidly for his own good. It is report- ed in Braddock, that after he had been for a time president of the Carnegie steel compauy, she had begged him to | resign and become once more a plain sitizen, but he refused. When he was offered and had accept- ad the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation, his wife, instead of rejoicing, took a street car to. the nome of her mother, Mrs. Frank Camp- sell, in Swissvale, and falling into the arms of her mother, burst Into tears, saying it was the beginning of the _ Enthusiastic Meeting of Work- ers From All Sections of the City Yesterday. ae ee FEAST PLANNED FOR ALL

That the children whose parents are not fortunate May not be denied a share in the joy of Christmas, the Post-Dis-atch Festival will, this year, be divided into many fetes, held in various parts of the city. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the General Committee having the festival in charge, was held in the reading room of the Mercantile Club and arrangements were advaiced. There were present A. H. Frederick, chairman; P. M. Hanson, J. F. Coyle, J. J. Mauntell, A. E. Kimball, Dr. E. McGinnis, A M. Roth, Edward Devoy, with L. E. Walther, president of the St. Louls Business Men's Assoclation; H.

Hammer, chairman of the Festival Committee of the South Broadway As- Sociation; Rev. H. L. Harvey, super- intendent of the Niedringhaus Mis- sion: Staff Captain R. E. Oldenburg of the Salvation Army, and H. N. Say- lor. The plan of the Festival was formu- lated. Under this scheme it Is pro- posed to have five or six entertain- ments in as many halls on Christmas day. There will be a heavily laden tree and a Santa Claus in each hall. An excellent entertainment will be provided, after which the children will be given toys and other gifts, including candy, nuts and fruits. In lieu of the great dinner hereto- fore Kxiven in the Coliseum, the work of the Basket Committee will be ex- tended. Heretofore this committee has sent out the materials for family dinners in a basket to a thousand or twelve hundred homes, the inmates of which were unable to attend at the Coliseum, where 10,000 to 12,000 per- sons were fed.

POST-DISPATCH CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL GREATER THIS YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE |

JOSIE This is not a story of Russia, of London's swarming slums or of New York's Kast Side. It is a story of St. Louis of today. You, who are warm aud well-fed, read and remember those who know no Christmas unless you heip: Josic Kundalla, frail and only 13 years old, is the heroine of this piteous reve- lation cof the sufferings of a St. Louis family. Her work feeds seven mouths. Since she only earns 50 cents a day wilien she works these mouths are fed gn bread alone. For nearly six. months she, her moth- cr, Mrs. Stella Kundalla; and her four small brothers and a baby sister have lived on bread and black coffee. Once in a great while they could buy 5 cents worth of soup meat, but not often, for ® is taken each month from the = $12 -that Josie earns to satisfy the landlord. Josie lives with her widowed mother and the babies, all of whom she hdas mothered in two dank basement rooms: 10 feet below the level on North Ninth street. The number is 1618 North Ninth etreet, but the mumerals on the tin sign, although level with the street, are higher than the ceiling of the poor rooms where the, family. live. Independence Day, 1905, the Kundalla family celebrated their adopted holiday and ths birthday of their’ eldest son, Ignatz, aged 9, at the same time. énton Kundalla, the father, was.earn- ing $10 a week in the wheat elevator at Kast St. Louts, a fortune to this poor family.

His employers saw that the body was decently buried, for the widow was penniless. The struggie for existence began. Mrs. hundalla had to stay at home to care for the three young children, baby Mamie, 2 montns old; Frank, aged 4 years, und John, who is 6 Stephen, aged 8 years, and Ignatz, who is 8, were too young to be trusted with the chil- dren. Josie found a place In a peanut ware- house. She works from 7:30 in the morning until 5:30 each evening. She culls the nuts. Millions of them pass through her hands aad it is her work to throw the bluck, spoiled nuts away. The heavy, choking dust from the nuts stife her. Her tender hands afe worn by the hard shells. But she works on for she knows that the bread which sustains the life of this family is de- pendent on her. Mrs. Kundalla was giving the last loaf of bread she had to the hungry children when the Post-Dispatch man came to her home Saturday to tell her of the Christmas Festival to be given by the readers of the Post-Dispatch.

But we can’t often buy coffee for pound. I gave my last nickel for this loaf.”’ “Don't you have vegetables?”’ “No; only rich folks can have po- tatoes,’" Mrs. Kundalla said sadiy. “After we save the $5 for the rest there is only money. enough left to buy bread.”’ “Things were better when your hus- band lived?” “Yes, yes,” the woman's face bright- ened. ‘“‘Why we used to have soup every day when Tony worked,” she said.

Their Income Limited to $200,000 a Year. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Since 1901 Countess, Boni de Castel- lane’s income has been only $200,000 a year, Judge Bench having signed a mandamus for- bidding George J. Gould, as trustee of the Gould estate, to pay any more to her until a few millions of debts, which she and her husband incurred, should be paid. Her income from the share of the Gould estate is about $600,000 a year, and the remainder of this is being paid to the creditors. George Gould was also appointed her trustee } ty a Paris court. > Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World, luvw, by Press lubiishing Co. (New York World.) PARIS, Dec. 9.Count and Countess Boni de Castellune are preparing a splurge for next Tuesday which will cost them a whole year’s income and keep them in retirement in the coun- try for at least 12 months, The King of Portugai is to be their Copyright, - guest at a fete at their city house. At will be the most magnilicent entertain- ment that has been given in Paris tor Mmauy a year. More than lov invita- tions have been issued and it is not likely that any will be declined. The Castellanes have been the herves of the week, for they alone of the French aristocracy secured the glury of twice entertaining Curlos of Portugual. The hunt last Sunday was a splendid success and the stout King mude an “Immense bag and quaffed many glasses of champagne as he marched over the fields of Lu Marais. Count Boni managed to get quite chummy with his royal guest and has been a frequent visitor at the royal first floor of the Hotel Bristol. Finally he persuaded the King tw accept a re- ception for next Tuesday at the Cas- tellane fown house, which ts modeled after the Petit Trianon. This success is the result of long- planned scheming. Count Bonl, from the beginning, has made it a rule to win, by all means, the friendship of the Giplomatic representatives of all cuun- tries, mot one, from the least to the greatest, of whom he has not over- powered with kindnesses, always in view of visits to Puris of their chiefs of state, and it is universally known in society that Boni dearly loves a King. . This time, his long friendship with De Sousa Roza, the Portuguese Mints- ter, has turned up trumps, though in the case of the King of Spain his Aiplomacy was a lamentable failure, much to the amusement of those from whom the childishly frank young man ‘wae incapable of concealing his bitter discomfiture that long years of work with the Spanish ambassador had proved at the critical moment wholly vein. But Count Boni ts now settling him- gelf radiantly to the task of organizing for King Carlos the most magnificen' fete known since the days of empire. Giub gossip has it that he burst out gieefully when he had hooked the royal fish: “Many declare my Trianon beats Marie Antoinette’s; now we are to have a king in it and I will make itt a fact."’ : Cream of Society These. All society, which sometimes nas been indifferent to the polite neglect of the Castellanes, will don tts diamonds for the king, all the more since Carlos is the least assuming of monarchs, and @hakes hands and talks promiscuously, once he gets happy. It is arranged that the Count and Countess shall stand to receive on a loggia the size of a large salon, at the head of the two-winged marble stair- case, which will be lined with some sixty footmen, all wearing the gorgeous Castellane livery of the Louis XVI reign—scarlet and blue, with powdered wigs.

BRUSSiLis, Veco. ¥.—A new scandal about hing Leopoid is causing tue greatest agitation at- court and in hign political circles here, and it is probable, if the rumor prove true, it may Cause @ revolution. Leopold's relations with the notorious “Queen of the Congu,’’ whose erstwhile residence in the Avenue Louise is one of the sights of Brussels, are a matter of notoriety, but this woman's career has ended as far as royal protection is concerned, and she now occupies a comfortable position as wife of a Bel- gian officer. The present recipient of royal favors is a handsome French woman, daugiuiter of respectable parents in the south of France. She served as a bar maid for some years in a hotel at Bordeaux be- fore she came to Brussels. About two years ago Princess Clementine, the King’s only unmarried daughter, met this woman in the grounds at Tackken and ordered her off, suspecting she was here for no good purpose. “Il have just as much right to be there as you have,’’ was the curt reply. An altercation ensued, when the King happened to come up and, grasping the situation, peremptorily directed his daughter to retire to hér apartments. Since then father and daughter have & separate establishment near the pal- ace has been fitted up for the Princess. The latest development of this Intrigue forms the subject of anxious specula- tion. Ii appears that the King hired a villa at Ville France, near Nice, for this woman and has repeatedly visited her and her reputed husband there. This woman has just given birth to.a son, and rumor ‘has it that the King seriously thinks of making her his wife and proclaiming the child his son and heir to the crown of Belgium. The most extraordinary pari of the story is that there is nothing in the Belgian constitution to prevent the King from following his fancy, and there is certainly no obstac’e in his own sense of decency in the situa ion probable. The absence of a direct heir has al- ways been a grief to the King since he lost hig eldest son, and he would much prefer not to see his nephew, Prince Al- bert of Flanders, ascend the _ throne. The lengths to which family animosity carries him, have been shown in his ruthless treatment of his own children. This extraordinary in’rigue is covert- ly referred to in today’s issue of the Socialist People, which speaks of a royal “off shoot’’ as likely to come between the hetr presumptive and the throne. The result of such an attempt would be either that the monarchy would be over hrown and a republic established, or Prince Albert would be declared King Aespite Teopold’s scheme. . COL.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatc n , New York World, . — LONDON, Dec. 9.—The substitution of glass for lint in dressing certain kinds of wounds is the curious suggestion made by Dr. J. L. A. Aymard, M. R. Cc. S., in the Lancet. Dr. Aymard describes an experiment with the new rage 3 which he him- velf undertook at Johannesburg Hos- pital. After obtaining a plece of thick window-glass, the edges of which were ground on an ordinary grindstone, he smeared it with carbolic oll, and used it on a patient instead of lint. The wound, he says, subsequently healed up entirely, and will leave no trace of a scar. Two ovher cases Jr. Aymard has treated with watch-glasses, the results beine equally Satisfactory. ‘In addition to the cheapness,’ he writes. “the wound can be éxamined without disturbing the wrappings.”’ AT BRIDE'S TOMB.

VIENNA, Dec. 9.—Weitzel, the Iinn- keeper of a suburb of this city, who furnished the money with which Count Mattachich rescued Princess Louise of Coburg from the insane asylum, {8 cre- ating a stir in the courts of several countries by reasons of two boxes of letters which he received from the Prin- cess as security for $16,000 he advanced to her. Having failed utterly in his efforts to induce Princess Louise to pay, he is now threatening to publish the letters. which he has a perfect right to do by the terms of his Hen, but which he knows the most powerful persons in Europe would prevent at any cost. Hie is now waiting to hear from the German Emperor, the Emperor of Aus- tria, the King of the Beigtans and Prince Phillp of Coburg, and expects to be reimbursed by them. A pamphlet, just been published here, purports to prove that Mattachich was not unjustly sentenced by the military court, but that he really did forge the signature of the widowed Crown Prin- ce33 Stephanie on bilis by which he ob- tained several thousand doliars. The pamphlet says he obtained Prin- cess Loulse’s release from Linderhof asylum merely to enable him to live a suxurious life at her expense. It suys she was no more a prisoner at Linder- hef than she is in her Paris hotel now, with Mattachich for adviser and man- ager and Frau Steger for her jailor.

LONDON, Dec. §.—Although Lord and Lady Curzon (Miss Leiter of Chicago) Only stopped two days in Paris, they made extensive pureluases and deposit- ed a large collection of rare and beau- fui Indian gems for setting. Some of these are to be hurriedly arranged for Christmas presents in the form of pen- dants, clusps and rings. A circlet of beautiful rublea, mount- ea 03 a barbaric ornament, is being un- B8cl and the stones are to be reset in a ciasp of beaten gold, which Lady Cur- Zun brought from Calcutia a Christmas present for the Duchess of Fife, nuw Princess Royal of England. For the Queen Lady Curzon brought a set of gold fiillgree trays. Many ein- broidered dresses of splendid workman- ship are destined for gifta among Lady Curzon’s friends as, to an intimate friend in Paris, she remarked that she would rather not wear such ultna-In- dia: dresses now that she is no longer Vicerene. They were becuming to her in India, but, at home, she would wear clothes Uke all the other women she knew, It is not yet blue curtains she aS known if the gorgeous had made and em- broidered last year are intended a8 a gift to the Queen, but it is known they are for sume royalty.

BERLIN, Dec. 9.—Berlin has made elaborate arrangements to suppress any popular demonstration that mai be con- templated against the Government. Cwing to the efforts of the Russian rev>lutionary movement upon the §So- Clalists of Germany the city has been divided into square sections, by the Organization of which the police could put down effectually any attempt by a mob to march towards the E:inperor's palace and the Government offices. The plan of campaign is rehearsed as often as festive occasions attract im- meéense crowds to the center of Berlin. On such oceasions the extraordinary skill of the polhce in disposing of the crowds, which they drive b ock by block into the suburbs, has been commented upon. One side of each organized square is left open, and this always the side facing the suburbs, so that the crowd may drift in that direction. In the case of a popular upriaing the fourth side of each square would be left open or closed, according to» the gravity of the situation. If it became necessary to suppress the rising by the most severe measures the fourth side of each square couid be closed, so that the rebels within 't would be inclosed within impenetrable lies of fire and steel, and could be shot down oc bayoneted to the last man.

GIRL ACCUSES ~ POLICEMAN ROSE ) Identifies Mounted Officer as Assailant and Suspeu- sion Follows, HE CLAIMS AN ALIBI Girl Recently Made Similar Charge Against North St. Louis Grocer, Following a police investigation . of the story of an assault told by 19year- old Augusta Abeng of Tracy road and Melrose avenue, North St. Louis, Capt. George T. McNamee of the Mounted District last night suspended Mounted Patrolman August H. Rose, 5311 Theo- dosia avenue. Rose, who has a record heretofore un- blemished, protests his innocence in the face of positive identification and states that ‘he will establish an alibi satisfac- tory to the Board of Police Commission- ers, Who are expected’ to take up the ease next Friday. He claims that at the time the assault is alleged to Rave occurred he was two miles from the scene. The statements and charges of Augus- ta Abeng are to the effect that on the night of Saturday, Nov. 25, she was called to the front gate by her brother, Who sald that a patrolman wanted to speak to her. It was dark, and the brother, Albert Jr., aged 13, aecom- panied her, as she and the officer walked a distance of 100 feet to the edge of the yard, which is laid out as’ an orchard. Says He Threatened Her, There, Miss Abeng stares, the, patrol- man placed the boy on his horse and sent the animal galloping down the road. During her brother’s absence the girl claims she was assaulted, Rose threatening her with his revolver if she made an outcry. | The boy 1 |

returned in 15 minutes, | point on the other's jaw. and, coming unexpectedly upon the | patrolman and his sister, fled to the house with the alarm. Miss Abetg followed later and told her story. There was some delay in the Inves- tigation started by. the Abeng fam- ily, owing, the girl states, to her be-

coming confused in the location of the. station in which she was to identify the patrolman. She later, when af- forded an opportunity, picked ou man she charged with the crime and positively identified him, stating that she had known him fer some months. She Identified Rose. Capt. McNameat once started a po- lice investigation, detailing Serst. Harry 8. Griefield and Patrolman Rob- ert Age on the case. To the officers Miss Abeng repeated her’ story, and in thelr presence identified Rose. She has a suit pending at the pres- ent time against a grocer of North st. Louis, making similar charges.

Vesper’s answer was evi- dently not at all satisfactory to the Manger. “You're a liar,” Manger broke out with in a voice that even drowned out the fiying orders of the waitresses. Every one turned to watch the pair who were standing near the cashier's desk. ‘ os “am I?” yelled Vesper, ‘Well, well see who's the biggest.

Although de- clared to be innocent by the man who convicted him, Burns can be freed only by the action of the State Legislature. For convictions of first degree murder the Governor is powerless. Even “the courts can do nothing. So Burns must remain in prison a month or two Ionger. until the slow machinery of the Legis- lature turns back the prison bolts.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How Useful it is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the saiest and most et- ficient disiniec.ant and purifier in natuie, but few reaiize its value Wheu taken into the human system for tie saine cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the beter; it is not a drug at all, but simply ab- sorbs the gases and impurities aiways preseut in the stomach and intestines and carries them out ot the system, Charcoal sweetens the breath af- ter smoking, drinking or after eat- ing onions and other odorous vege- tavles. Charcoal effectually clears and | Juproves the complexion, it whitens | the teeth and furcher acts as a nat- | ural and eminently safe lt absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfecis the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal .n one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Charcoal Loz- enges; they are composed of finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antisep ics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved cond tion of the general health, bet- ter complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the heauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the con'rary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the bewefits of charcoal says: advise Stuart’s Charcoal) Lozenges to a!’ patients suffering from gas in nee and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also be- leve the liver is grea'ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet 1 believe I ge’ more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets,” ‘

ists, and for that reason ta- ; time That Was Why He Fought! With Majah Dinsmo’, Who Also Is Noted for His Emo- tion, but the Colonel Can't Understand Why He So Far Forgot Himself as to Use the Butt of the Gun. OL. POXHALL C. HIGHTOWER., ® late of Hindmans Cavalry, C. S. A., who came from Helena, Ark., last week in regard to a slight touch Of paralysis in his trigger finger, is reading, with deep and persona! interest, telegrams concerning the latest inci- dents in the life of his esteemed friend, Gov. Jeff Davis of the sovereign State of Arkansas. A reporter found him in the cafe of a Broadway hotel, viewing a long drink with the cold eye of dis- favor. “These here Northerners refer, I pre- soom, to this thing as @& mint julip,”’ he said. Mint weed, and sugar and nutmeg and ice and pickled cherries and siiced pineapple, all momuxed up together in a toddy glass with a little licker! Why, suh, the cussed thing only needs a cruSt on to be a mince pie. Still, I reckin, it’s as much as you can reasonably expect from a people that put sugar in their caunbread and water in their whisky." ‘Flow are things in Arkansas?” asked the reporter. “Well, suh,’’ replied the Colonel, pen- sively pushing a button, “I see by your local newspapers that things in our be- loved commonwealth alr looking up gince Gov. Jefferson Davis and ex-Con- grefsman Hiugh Dinsmo’ came togeth- er. By the way, my young friend, don’t you never again pronounce Arkansas like you just done so-—leastwise, not in Arkansaw. “It's again the statutory law down there to pronounce the last syllable any way except ‘saw.’ I've knowed men that got themselves right smartly shot up pronouncing it the wrong way.

Just a Caze of Emotions. “Now, for example, you take this here latest little misunderstanding betwixt Gov. Davis and Majah Dinsmo’, Sim- ply a case of both gen-lemen being carried away by their emotions. I learn by the advices from Little Rock that Gov. Davis mighty-nigh ruined his walkin’ stick on Majah Dinsmo’s fo’- head and that Majah Dinsmo’ wore sev- eral notches off his gun handle bouncin’ it up and down on Gov. Davis’ pusson.

If Convicted Senator Prolongs Struggle, Race Will Be Free-for-All, Special to the Post-Dispatch. , TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 9.—‘The lasi thing that Gov. Hoch desires to do is to appoint a new United States Senatui in place of J. Ralph Burton,’’ Bays one of the Governor's close political frienas. “It can bet set down for a certainty there is nothing which woulu please Gov. Hoch so much as to have J. Ralph Burtun keep up his fight un- til the expiration of his term of of- fioe.”’ In explanation of this statement con- cerning the Governor's attitude, the man sald: . “Gov. Hoch has a number of friends who would want the appointment ir Burton should quit. To give the place to any one of them would be to turn all the others against him. The result is that it would cost Hoch a lot of friends to appoint a Senator, and Hoch is earnestly praying that he may not be called upon to make such an appoint- ment. . Roch Is Receptive. “Do I think that Hoch is a candi- date for United States Senator him- self? I do not think there isa bit of doubt that Gov. Hoch would like to be United States Senator; I do not think \ ‘ \t fy there is any doubt that he is looking with more favor upon the prospect every day. Not long ago, Hoch had about made up his mind that he would stay out of the race entirely; he thought that the Governorship was enough for him Since then things have been opening up before him in a hew light. and I feel sure that Hoch would not run very fast if the Sena- torship should take after him. It would be much easier for the Repub- licans to make him a candidate for Senator than it was to make him a candidate for Governor.” “Suppose the Senate should Burton out?” was suggested. “Then the Governor would have to appoint somebody, and I wish to make this prophecy: The man would not be W.

Who Sought Fortune Ends Happily. Special to the Pust-Dispatch. ALMA, Mich., Dec. 9.—Leaving home 23 ‘years ago to make his fortune, George Howe resolved he would remain _@way end would not correspond with any relatives or friends regarding his on until he had been success- Howe had no ill-feeling toward anyone ~—sgimply decided to go out in the world alone. Going first into Southern Michi- gan, he dritted out of the State, and since has lived in every State in the Mississippi Valley from the northern boundary to the gulf. Four years ago he returned to Mich igan, but instead of visiting his former home, he located at Mio, Uscoda County. There he has worked at his trade as carpenter. , Some few weeks ago a former residen of Alma saw Howe and recognized him. He mentioned meeting the wanderer and the news was carried to the aged father. The following week W. A. Howe, a brother, left Alma for Oscoda County, ostensibly to hunt deer, but in ‘reality to look for his brother. The meeting was a happy one. They returned here together, the father be- ing overjoyed to see him. While he has not acquired a fortune, he is in com- fortuble circumstances.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. GLASGOW, Dec. 9.—A fight with a madman in the cab of an engine travel- ing at full speed is an experience not often encountered by the railway men of Seotland. Such an affray, however, has just occurred between Airdrie and Glasgow. While the train was drawn up wait- ing for a signal a man crept unseen out of one of the carriages, and when the driver’s attention was otherwise en- gaged he managed to leap on the engine. The man grasped the starting ‘ever, and when the engineer and his fireman no- ticed the intruder, there followed a4 frantic struggle for the possession of the throttle valve. The engine was started despite the railway men’s efforts, and it was only after a fierce combat that the madman was overcome, the train brovght to a standstill, and the lunatic handed over to the police.

Special to the Port Dispatch. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9.—Webster | Davis, once Mayor of Kansas City, who made a Spectacular switch in his political faith during the 1900 cam- paign and stumped the country for Bryan, because, after a sojourn in South Africa during the Boer War, he said he could not indorse the anti-Boer attitude of McKinley and his support- ‘ ers, has gone back to the Republican party and given out reasons for his re- covered faith. “I am @ great admirer of Theodore Roosevelt and his policies. So long as those policies remain in force, I shall lend my voice to their upholding and will be identified with the Republican party.”’ Davis goes to the City of Mexico Sun- day, thence to Michigan, which. he Says, will be his future home and where he expects to actively engage in pol- tics. He says Tammany was too strong for him to accept a congressional nom- ination from it, . “In my opinion, Theodore Roosevelt ig the greatest President in the history of the American republic because he and his policies are clearer to the masses.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec 9.—The first meeting of the creditors of Gus- tave A. Conzman, former cashier of the Vigo County National Bank, has been held here in the office of George Pugh, one of the attorneys representing Conz- man, who has been arrested by the United States authorities and is now out On bond. Proof of claims amounting to about $60,000 were placed in the hands of Albert Rabb of Indianapolis, referee in bankruptcy. Of this amount about $30,000 represents claims of the bank and were filed by Charles Andrews of Brazil, receiver. ; Mr. Conzman wag not present at the meeting. It is said the amount of claims filed by Mr. Andrews does not repre- sent Conzman’s total indebtedness to the bank. Because of the secrecy maintained by the Federal officers concerning the case, the belief is gaining ground that Conzgman has been indicted by the grand jury, but just why the papers, said to be in the hands of the United States Marshall, have not been served is an unemplained mystery. As far as known, the whereabouts of the former cashier own. As far as known Conzman has not been seen in Indianapolis, where his frieds say he is staying, for several days. He is said to have been there about the time the grand jury made its report, and since then al] trace of him has been lost. Conzman is held under a $10,000 bond, and altogether it has been intimated, it does not seem reasonable that he would attempt to leave the country. The Federal officers decline to discuss the case.

GIVES VALUABLE RIGHTS If Measure Is Signed Company Will Pay City $1,000 a Year for Landing, James H. McCabe, a North St. Louts business man, has asked Mayor Wells to defer action on Council Bili No, 81, granting ferry privileges at the foot of Dock street to Harold B. Boaz and oth- ers until the purpose of the proposed franchise can be fully investigated. The bill wag presented to the Mu- nicipal Assembly by Councilman George (*.. Linde at the request of Mr. Boaz, who lives at 3968 Maffitt avenue. It provides that “that portion of the lying at the foot of Dock street, the eouth line of which shall be the south line of Dock street, continued eastward- ly in a straight line to the line of low water mark on the western bank of the Mississipp! River, and extending from said line therefrom with a necessary width for a distance northwardly 100 feet, which shall be and the same is hereby designated, as and for the place of landing for the ferry of the said Boaz, associates and assigns, but the floate against which the sald ferry of sald Boaz, associates and assigns shall tand shall not exceed 100 feet In length.” In return for the privilege of using the landirig the beneficiaries of the franchise are to pay the city a rental of $1000 a year. The city may revoke the franchise at any time. Promise to Fight Combine. Boaz was formerly in the manufac- turing business, but {fs now retired. He named as his associates A.

NEW DEAL BEFORE JAN. 1 Vice-President Maroney Said to Know of Captains’ Attitude. ‘HOW FOLK WAS HINDERED President Stewart Confers With Fristoe After Kiely’s Call. President Stewart and other members of the Board of Police Commissioners are silent as to plans which they are said to have formulated in reference to a reorganization of the police depart- ment, Chief of Police Kiely, minus his glit- tering uniform, held down a soft-cush- foned chair in the lobby of the Pilan- ters Hotel last night, where he met a number of friends who congratulated him on the fact that he was still ‘It’ in St. Louis police affairs. Col. Thomas J. Landrum, member of Gov. FPoik’s military staff, and Chief Kiely held a particularly long and friendly conversation. “Out Campuigning tr” The fact that Chief Kiely ts seldom seen about the hotels in the evening caused considerable gossip among the politicians, one of whom remarked that he thought the Chief was “out cam- paigning’’ to hold down his job. Chief Kiely drove to Mr. Stewart's office in the St. Louis Union Trust Building at 10:30 a. m. yesterday. He remained with Mr. Stewart 30 minutes. Soon after his departure Commissioner Fristoe appeared and he and Mr. Stewart had a heart-to-heart tulk of an hour's duration, Mr. stewart s2id to a Post-Dispatch reporter after Mr. Fristoe departed that they had discussed affairs of the police department, but that there was nothing to be made public. Mr. Fristoe sald the same. Excise Cormmissioner Mulvihill was the next to present himself at Mr. Stewart's office, where he remained un- iil late In the afternoon. Andrew C. Maroney, newly appointed police commissioner, who was elected vice-president of the board at F'riday’s session, will see Mr. Stewart before the next Poiice Board meeting Tuesday aft- erncon. Mr. Maroney, it is understood, is con- sidtring several suggestions calculated to increase the efficiency of the depart- ment. Some of them, it is believed, will invulve the removal of police captains, lieutenants and sergeants, as well as “that of Chief Kiely. BROTHERS. UNITED AFTER 54 YEARS White Hair Prevents Each From Recognizing Other at Station. Patrick Burns of Alton and Dennis Burns of Channing, Tex., brothers, have met for the first time in 54 years at the former’s home in Alton. Each of the white-haired men, feeble and bent with years, scanned the other’s face at the Union Station at Alton time and again, but both failed to detect a resemblance in the other, neither willing to picture his brother to himself as a white-haired man bent with age. Mr. Burns of Alton returned to his home, thinking his brother missed his train or failed to come. The Texas brother inquired and found his brother's home and arrived a_ few minutes later. The Alton brother re- sponded to the bell, bui did not recog- nize hina. “Is this where lives?” he inquired, “J am that gentleman,” replied his brother. “Why, Pat, don’t you recognize me? I’m your brother Dennis.” The two old men, bewildered and amazed, engaged in a silent hand- shake, “Well, I saw you at the station. Dennis, but I could not think of you as a gray-haired man, but as the boyl left in Lreland.”’ he two men recounted the iInci- dents of their early days and were giad to renew their youth again. Patrick Burns of Alton is 73 years of age. His brother is two years his unior. The former came to America n 1849 and has lived in Alton since 1854. His brother followed him from the home in Ireland a few years later and has become a successful stock- man in Texas. Though they never had occasion to visit, they have cor- responded all these years. Both have families, and Mr. Burns of Texas was accompanied by his daughter. Anna. When his brother left home in Dan- nogan County, Ireland, he was but 17 years of age. Patrick Burns _—- of Kiely on or before that date. The Governor's advisers sa that Kiely’s resignation was expected sometime ago. Whe Is Behind Petition? A Police Commissioner told a Post- Dispatch reporter that, in permitting a petition to be circulated among St. Louis business men asking his reten- tion at the head of the departmeat, Chief Kiely was giving passive evidence of political tendencies. “Il assume,’’ sald the Commissioner, “that Chief Kiely is not responsible for the petition. If he is, then I say he is committing an act which shouid resuli in his immediate removal from the de- partment. The petition is fine L.tics, “But about these petitions: know how easy it is td get prominent men to sign them. Those who have had no ex- ee with the Police Depart:cent ave no idea how many favors ‘pro mi- nent men’ about town and their friends from out of town sometimes ask of the department.” Commissioner Fristoe was among the victims of police outrages at the Democratic gubernatorial primary in St. Louis March 12, 1904. Mr. Fristoe, who was not at that time a member of the board, was included in the list of active Folk supporters. He and other Folk men were driven away from the polling booth at Delmar boulevard and Taylor avenue. So great was their indignation that they called a mass was held at Chatsworth Hall, to pro- test against police outrages. Mr. Folk, in his campaign speeches, dwelt on the police outrages, and the puliticians say expressly declared that new men. “not oliticians,” would direct the affairs of the Police Department if he were elected.

Acting Mayor Whelton opened the meeting by reading a number of letters protesting against the recommendation of .he secretary, and among the number was one from former Secretary of the Navy John D. Lodge. “| regret very much that I am under engagement which prevents my ac- ceptance of your kind invitation to me to attend and speak at the meeting in Faneuil Hall to protest against Secre- tary Bonaparte’s suggestion to make a target of ‘Old [ronsides’ and destroy her in that way. I am sure that on reflection and on learning the intense feeling of the citizens of Boston, and aisuv, | am sure, of the patriotic peopie of the whole country, he will modify his views. “When he made the suggestion, I can- not think he was aware of the great suinver Ol persons, especially the youn., who visit the ship every year and to whom it is an inspiring patriotic stimu- jus. No time, nor change, nor wear and lear can_make it anything to the eye or lo the heart than the very same old frigate that fought the Guerricre and not only won victories, but gave our navy its prestige and today embodies the pride of the United States jin nava, achdevements more than any othe: thinge in existence. The suggestion shocks every instinct of national] pride and glory. As brave Lawrence gs.id. ‘Don’t give up the ship.’ ”’ Former Attorney-General Albert E. Pillsbury of this state was invited to preside, and in his opening remarks, he read a communication wich he had re- celved from Secretary Bonaparte, in which the secretary stated that the fate of the Constitution rested with Congress and that he did fot wish to take un- authorized liberties with the other Con- stitution. “And we will see that he does not, was Mr. Pillsbury’s comment on the telegram. The principal speaker of the evening was former Congressman William Everett of Quincy, who kept his at a high pitaa’of patriotic excivement by his fervent words and lsterical references. ; “Send Her te Boston.” Perhaps Lr. Everett's greatest ef- fort was When he referred to Secre- lary tvuiaperies remark that ine Constitution had been so changed and made over that there was very little left of the original ship. Referring to the veneration with which the French nation regards the remains of Napo- leon Bonaparte and stating that it is weil known medicaily that the physi- cai structure O1 auy pefsuvld unuergues material changes within a short period. Dr. Everett asked “what would be the feeling if the president of the French republic recommended that as the body of the great French Em- peror that was brought back from St, iielena was not that of the victor of Marengo and of Austerlitz—the person who faced the snows of Moscow, —_ general who fought the battle Lei sic and the one who was over- thrown at Waterloo—it should be made a target for the rifies of the soidiers of today.” in closing, Dr. Everett said: “If the secretary is at a loss what to do with the Constitution, we will take her. Boston and Massachusetts will buy her. Send her back to her own people, who will keep her as long as the United States exists or the indian remains upon the flag of Massachu- setts.” BONAPARTE DEFENDS HIS TARGET IDEA.

D., Dec. $.—Depo- | sitions have been taken in a case of a 'unique character which was instituted | ' by Michael Ernster of Logan Township, Minnehaha County, against Nels P. Christianson, formerly of Dell Rapids, but now a resident of Marshal] County. Ernster seeks to recover the value of a shortage in the acreage of a farm in Logan Township which he purchased six | 1899 | years ago. It appears that in Christianson listed the farm for sale for the sum of $3600, and Mr. Ernster finally | { he . tu see scurapered acruss | PUTChased It. The deed described the tract as con- | taining.102 acres, according to the Gov- ernment survey, and, figuring on the | basis of 152 acres, Mr. Ernster paid $22.50 per acre for the farm. Ernster after- acres as was believed, and this wus confirmed by County Sur- veyor Howe, who after resurveying it, found that it contained only 16 acres. Last summer Ernster sold the farm at 108 acres for $45 an acre. In his suit Eyrnster contends that under his deed from Chrisuianson he was entitled to 152 acres; that instead of paying $22.50 an acre for the farm he really paid $35 an acre, and besides has lost the increase in value of the missing 44 acres.

Special to the Pdet-Dispatch. TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 9—There is a shortage of overcoats for the Kansas National Guard, and no way of getting | more. With only 450 overcoats, what ! would the State do to protect its 1600; guardsmen from the cold this winter, In case it should be necessary to call them into service? And what will the mem- SHY bers of the guard do in cold wather | when they are obliged to get out at| least twice a month to drill, as the law: requires? The Government-inspection of the con- dition of the National Guard reveals the fact that only one company in the State was provided with overcoats. It secms, that in years past, the officers of the Quartermaster’s Department have _ or- dered guns, ammunition, swords, khaki suits and blue blouses, but no overcoats. State Money Not Used. Just why this was not done is not known, for last year the Siate might have drawn about $25,000 worth of over- coats from the Government, and used State money to pay the encampment of the Guard. Instead. the monty was used to pay for the encamp- nent, and the State money was allowed ‘to ““die’’ and revert to tne treasury. And meantime, the books of the de- _ariment were getting into such bad shape, and reports were being so neg- iected that shortly after Gen. J, W. F. iiughes took office, the Government shut down entirely on issuing supplies iO Kansas. Since that time the offi- cers of the guard have been trying to account for the $7000 shortage in equi. ment which had disappeared from the record of the office. There was nothing crooked about it; the Government simply wanted to know what had become of the supplies it had been sending out here, and the State has been trying to find out. Re- porte explaining the whole thing have been sent to Washington, and part of them have been approved. But until the reports are all accepted, and the slate officially cleaned, the State of KLansas is barred from getting any more military supplies from the Gov- ernment. Meantime there are no overcoats for the Kansas soldier boys. They must xhiver and wait for the red tape to be unwound. which A'l of the 450 overcoats the | Os Government TTERAILL F TERRITORY PROBLEM e Officials in Quandary as to Slayer Said to Be Insane, Spectal to the Post-Disnatcb GUTHRIE, O. T., Dec. 9.~Territorta} and Federal Officials are in a quand- ary as to what they can do with Ira N. Terrill, siayer of Jack Embree, whose prison term expires next Sat- urday and whom the olficials believe to be undoubtedly insane. Terrill re- cently sued President Roosevelt for $300,000 damages for faliure to re- lease him under provisions of the Louisiana Purchase treaty. Terrill is one of the picturesque characters of the Territory. He was a patent medicine agent in Kansas when the Territory was opened and joined in the rush. He was elected to the Legislaiure and aided tse deaf | Speaker to control the Ass: mbly by , Sitting beside him, revolvers in hand. Once he turned them on the Speaker ‘to gain recognition. He wrote the criminal code for the Territory and was the first man convicted under those laws, Terrill shot Embree over a land ‘claim.

As Oklahoma has no pen- ‘itenuary, he has been sent to other States with other prisoners, but was eet ype sent back as insane.

If there should be a riot at some noint in the State, and a company. of the guard was found to be necessary, the men would be started to the point of trouble from the nearest com any headquarters, and a bunch of over- coats shipped out from Topeka to meet them. In this way, companies could be provided with ov- ercoats. It is the only way in which the present insufficient supply of ov- ercoats can be handled to any advant- age. four or five DYING IN SIGHT OF SWEETHEART Youth Comforted by Sight of Girl After Shooting Self.

_— a Thirty Young Women in Novel Costumes Add to the Gaiety of the Scene—Enterprising Town Realizes a Goodly Sum From Unique Entertainment. Saturday midnight closed the most eventful day in the history of Eureka, 27 miles southwest of St. Louis on the Frisco and Missouri Pacific Railways. The town carnival, the first ever held in Bureka, long talked of, long dreamed of by the pretty girls who made it a success, was a triumph in every re- spect. Its queen, Miss Kamy Maupin was reaplendent as the center of her royal court, the grand march of 3% young women representing the business inter- ests of Eureka, was stepped without @ flaw, the chicken dinner was done toa nicety, the attendance was heavy, and the Ladies’ Aid of the Methodist Epis- copal Church made lots of money. The novel entertainment which lasted all day and evening was the result of the combined termination of the Ladies’ Aid to raise money for church work, and the business men of the town to advertise their various interests throughout St. Louls Conuty. A large attendance was counted upon, and with comely girls to represent each store, It was felt that outlying residents would be attracted to Eureka and its mer- chants in a manner irresistable. Every expectation was realized. Carnival in Bank Bullding. The carnival was held in the spacious hall that occupies the entire second floor of the handsome. new building of brick, recently completed as the home for the Bank of Eureka. No effort or expense in reason spared in the decorations or plans for the carnival, the entire population of Wurekea, regardless of creed or social sets, lending willing support to the fur- therance of the noval plan for booming the thriving suburb. The program consisted of the crowning of Miss Kamy Mapin as queen of the carnival, numerous musical numbers, 2 grand march of 30 young women garbed in costumes that represented the va- ricus lines of trade that Eureka sub- ports; a chicken dinner that was served from 5 to 8 p. m. and the display of a large assortment of Christmas gifts, prepared for gale by the Ladies’ Aid and its friends.

Miss Bryda Votaw, as a milkmaid representing the dairy, carried a milk }. stoel and pail. Miss Bay Behm heralded the trade of paper-hanging with a dress made of designs cut from wall paper and appliqued upon a fetching costume. Miss Isabell Crow was putforward in a dazzling gown of silk granadine over yellow satin, as an example of the dressmaker’s art.

RECTOR IS STAR IN WIFE'S PLAY. le to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, Dec. 9.—The connection be- tween the church and stage has been drawn closer by the efforts of the Rev. J. Greathead, rector of Corringham, Essex, and his wife. The latter, who is a daughter of the late Dr. Gauntlett, of musical fame, has written a “roman- tic play, founded on fact,” entitled “The Master Carver,"’ in which her hus- band plays the part of the hero. The play’ was produced at Southend. in the parish room of All] ints’, of which Dr. Lang, who is himself an en- thusiastic devotee of things theatrical, is the vicar. There was a crowded au- dience, which showed high appreciation of the performance. The part of the hero, Gottlieb Schmaltz, the master carver, was taken : with conspicuous ability by the Rev. J. | Greathead. The other characters were taken by villagers of Corringham, who were sur- prisingly good in their various roles. The Rev. J. Greathead, speaking be- fore the performance, said: “We have | had an amateur dramatic company tn | connection with our church at Corring- | ham for 12 years. I have always taken

It will be done in this wise: Four lateral offsets, one on each side near the bow. and two more similarly placed near the stern, will each contain a& propeller, pointing obliquely outward toward the stern. The driving direction of these propellers will give the ship a lifting power that will enable it to ride the waves when headed to the wind, and will also overcome the Troll when the wind is blowing across the bow. “The seasick passengers on the Ce- dric,’ said Capt. Golinsky, “‘made me a solemn promise that when ships of the type I propose -are running they will Sail on no others. One seaSick million- aire promised to be one of my main backers in building the new ships for the benefit of seasick humanity.

The inventor asserted that his type of battleship will be able to make rapid turns, and to come to almost an instant stop while near full speed. Work on the Russian battleship wil begin in about a month, and on the liners a short while later.

Home. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FRANKFORT, Ind., Dec, 9--A re markable story has been broyght to light here in which a husband, wife, a son and stepson play the leading parts in a domestic drama, When William Hoider of Estelle Coun- ty, about 43 years of age, appeared at the office of the County Clerk and asked whether .here had been a marrlage li- cense issued to one Frank Holder, he was informed that a license had beén issued to Frank Holder Sept. 14. The record shows that the woman gave the name of Anna Hood, and that she had been married once before, as she made — that her lirst husband was cae Upon being told the name of the wom- an and the fac. that she had stated that her first husband was dead, Hoider in- formed the clerk that he is the wom- an’s lawful husband, and that her bride- groom is his son. He then Btated that ,he had married her in Kentucky some years ago, and that his son, rank, by a former marriage, lived in Kansas. The son went to Kentucky to make his home wi.h his father, and, winning the love of the woman, pianned and suc- cessiully carried out an eiopement. Be- fore leaving Kentucky the injured hus- band said tha, his son had left 33 with Mrs. Holder, to be used in paying her expenses where she was to join him. They are said to be living now on a farm in Kirklin Township. When Mr. Holder learned that bigs son had moved and that the wife, following, had been married to him, he left his home and came here in search of the couple. He had little trouble in locatinng them, but all of his efforts to induce the wife to leave and go home with him failed. Holder has consulted a lawyer here, and legal steps of some kind will be taken within a few days. The’ records at the office of the County Clérk show tha: Mrs. Holder gave her age as 2.

William H. Thompson Talks of the Play and His Work. The accompanying portrait is not one of Comedian William H. Crane, al- though its original is said to have been mistaken for Mr. Crane more than gnee. It’s a faithful counterfeit pre- sentment of Mr. Wiillam H. Thompson, who makes his appearance as The Bishop in the play of that title open- ing a week's engagement at the Garrick tonight. Mr. Thompson sat before a Post-Dispatch camera for it. That’s because he’s an astonishingly modest star who doesn't send his pic- tures ahead of him and carries none “When we were preparing to come on for the first production of ‘The Bishop’ in St. Louwis,”’ says Mr. Thompson, “lI told them to photegraph the govood- looking members of the company—and

It's a delicate, gentle, quiet sort of piay, of poetic spirit, and, while there are strong situations developed in the course of its story, there is no attempt to create a ‘thriller’ for each fall of the curtain.

Prof. Chamberlain Explains to Mathematics Teachers’ © * Assembly. Special te the Post-Dispatch CHICAGO, Dee. 9.—In an address et the opening session of the annual nreet- ing of the Central Assoclacuion of Sele ence and Mathematics Teachers, Prof, Thomas Crowder Chamberlain of the University of Chicago outlined his re- cently annoginced “accretion theory”. of the earth's origin. This, if accepted by acientists, will overthrow the so-called “nebular hypothesis’ and do away with most of the ideas commonly held as to the origin of the earth and the otha pianets. According to the ‘‘nebular hypotheais'’+ or Larlace theory, which has been helé for over a century, the earth and :the other planets originally were masses a8 molten matter thrown off from the #us by its whirling motion and gradually cooled to their present condition, Thie theory Prof. Chamberlain attacks ag the assumption that the sun never Had a@ whirling velocity sufficient to threw of such bodies. 3 Prof. Chaaberiain’s theory is that @ disturbance was caused in our sun by the near approach of, or cvtiision with, some other sun, which drew off project tions of nebulous matter from our and gave them a rotary motion by f OWn attraction as it passed. ‘These ; ticles of matter then gradually gath* ered together to form the planets, ted The internal heat of the earth, sow Prof. Chamberlain, deve.oped by come pression as the body grew. The theory that the moon once had an atmosphere, he asserts, must also be abandoned, : OLD ALMANAC APPEARS.

OTHER GRAINS ARE FIRM Strength in Wheat Is Reflected in Both Corn and Oats, The bull interests controlled the grain pits throughout the week. although a reactionary tendency developed in the late trading that canceled sume of the earlier advance. Armour interests in the Chicago mar- ket were largely responsible for the strength in all other domestic markets, bull manipulation by these interests be- ing more active than in weeks past. Market sentiment, however, was in- fluenced by other bullish faciors of im- portance which developed, chief amon which was the improvement noted in cash markets. In the local trade the cash demanhd was excellent and prices on No. 2 red wheat reached the record figure on the new crop on sales at % Bie foreign situation also favored the buying side and Liverpoo!) prices were firm throughout the week on the sirength in American markets, the bul- lish tone of the offictal Indian report, reports of unsitisfactory harvest re- turns from ceriain sections of the Ar- geting and an improved continental emand for cargoes off coast. Northwestern receipts continue to be + disappointment to the bears, for in. apite of favorable weather conditions the car lots continue to run Nght. Local receipts, while almost double those of

ast year, are only moderate. Local stocks are small. World's shipments for the preceding week were heavy, the total reaching 13,- } 936,000 bu, against 13,312,000 for the pre- ceding week and 10,592,000 bu for the same period last year. Russian ship- ments figured conspicuously in the to- tal, the figures showing 5,248,000 bu. against 4,592,000 bu the preceding week and 4,824,000 bu last year. Corn ship- ments totaled 3.453,000 bu, against 3.- 193,000 bu the preceding week and 3,145,- 000 last year. The flour demand is less urgent both locally and in the Northwest, and mill- ers are inc.ined to hold off their pur- chases for a decline. The Minneapolis output last week decreased 55.285 bbls. the quantity turned out being 351, 200 bbis. The output this week will probabi approximate 390.000 bbls, in the saMe week last year. Foreign flour business is less active. and few sales were made to the conti- neht or Great Britain. Argentine shipments for the week were bullish, the figures showing 1.40, - 000 bu.. against 2,325,000 bu. were 951,000 bu. this week, against 1,439,000 bu. last week and 1, 928, 000 bu last year. Reports from the growing wheat eoun- try are very favorable, but farmers are inclined to hold their old wheat. Some shortage of cars for shipment ts noted. Corn prices were firm throughout the week on the steadiness in wheat and a good shipping demand. Oats were tn- Susnend by unusually heavy clearances. Broomhall estimates the world’s shipments of wheat on Monday next will be about 12,400000 bushels, of which quantity Europe will take about 11,200,000 bushels.

ALLACE SIGHS FOR NEXT VEAR Crack Shortstop Puts His Name to a Contract for 1906. President Robert Lea Hedges of the Browns announced yesterday that Bob- by Wallace had signed with the Browns for the season of 1906 There was little doubt that Wallace would be back in the Browns line-up next year. The announcement from the local official that he has already signed is comforting to those in the inner cir- cles of baseball who know thai a club is never sure of a player until he has signed. Valiace has been with a St. Louls team ever since the Robinsons made their entry into St. Louis with their Cleveland Spiders, and this team, the Cardinals and the Browns are the only major league Organizations the great shortstop has ever played with. t.

ROOT’S SPRINT ONCE MORE WINS. -SIX-DAY. RACE

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Eddie Root, of Sheepshead Buy, tonight won the six- day bike race on the Madison Square Garden Saucer track, finishing three lengihs uhead of John Bedell, of Long Island. Who should get the first prize money was decided by a fast one mile sprint in which only these two competed, as they were a lap ahead of the nearest competitors. Root had as a team mate, Joe Bogies, who shares the winnings, and Bedell splits second money with his brother, Menus. This is Roots second six-day victory. Last year he eamed with Oliver Dorion. Root won for his team in the final sprint as he did this year. Moran, wiose mate was McLean, and Stol, who teamed with Van Derstuyft, rode a mile sprint to decide the winner of third money, ard Moran finished in front.

The National League had previ- ously voted to support the proposed amendment. Since that time Griffiths has survived several attempts by his associates in the minor association and the Eastern League, and by the National Commis- sion, to read him out of baseball, and is how conceded to be as strong a factor as Powers, who favors a com- promise if the original demand is turned down. The Eastern League meeting will be the first in several years at which Pat Powers has not presided. He resigned last fail on account of the opposition to his administration. An Eastern League gathering without the genial Powers as a leading figure will seem queer indeed. Powers, howev- er, still retains an interest in the Jersey | City club, but will have little to say in the league councils. Harry L. Taylor, the oid Baltimore first baseman, now president of the Buffalo club, is the new president. Cabal Against Powers. Baseball men who follow the politics of the game closely profess to see a moveient to remove Powers from the presidency of the minor association and thus shear him of his last vestige of authority in the great national game. They say that Griffiths and certain other Eastern League men, who led the revolution against Powers in that league, are behind the movement to oust him from the other executive position. George Tebeau, grand pooh-bah of the American Association, and Hugene Burt, president of the Pacific Coast League—the two other first-class minor leagues of the country—are supporting the -sriffiths faction. Powers has the baseball friendship of Ban Johnson, whose influence in minor league circles is powerful. The National League is a disinterested third party. Men high in baseball say that the loss of Powers will prove a boomerang to the mihor league. It is rather sad to con- template his retirement from active metibership in tae Eastern League, for he has stepped into the breach many ® time and with private resources has stopped many a gap that threatenéd to wreck the league. His adrtuinistration was one long and honorable record of straightforward dealing, and the minor league associa- tion can hardly find another leader who is go cool at all times, so able to weld discordant factions together, and to keep his balance against so many Oppo- site forces. ‘ Pilgrims Have Olub House.

Jules Elzear Bernier Says He Will Find No Impassable Barrier of Ice Such as Men- aces Those Taking the East- ern Track. QUEBEC, Dec. 9.—By a route through the arctic regions never before attempt- ed by any white man, and indicated only by the wreckage of the iil-fated Jeannette of the disastrous Greely expe- dition, Capt. Jules Elzear Bernier will set out in search of the North Pole next spring. Capt. Bernier is a native of Quebec He hus made many voyages to the Arc- tie regions and for years has believed ne knew a route that would lead him to the Pole. He devoted himself to the subject and became convinced he knew exactly the cause of the failures of all explorers who had gone before. He in- vented new means of traveling on ice aud then sought the aid of the Canadian Government. Sir Clement Markham, president of the Royal Geographical Society, was influ- enced by his argument and gave sup- him. The Captain, however, still necds $50,000, but he feels certain of obtaining that sum in the course of the next few months. In discussing his plans, he said: “In the Polar Circle off the shores of Siberia the most frequent winds are from the east and southeast, thus car- rying the ice to the north and north- west, and drawing it against ‘the shores of Franz Josef's Land, Spitzbergen and Greenland. In the Polar Circle on the North American coast, on the contrary, the wind blows from the west and northwest, pushing the ice to the east and southeast on the shores of North Greenland and Grinnell Land, where it accumulates from year to year and forms those eternal masses, or ‘hum- mocks,’ which tower many feet above the moving ice. If we draw a line from Behring Strait to North Greenland we divide the Polar basin in two parts. The western part is formed of an im- mense block of ice bearing on the shore of North America, which forms an impassable barcier to the Pole. The eastern portion is formed by ice which has drifted trom the coast of Siberia and Behring Strait and pursued the fourse of the wind. When it ap- proaches the Pole it increases in thick- ness and volume in forming those hum- mocks that Nansen found to be W feet in height.”’ Capt. Bernier believes the Polar ba- sin is a frozen ocean over which his dogs and reindeer can make their way. He proposes to enter the Siberian side somewhere near the Lena or Bennet Island and proceed over the ice at the rate of about four miles a day. He start probably from. Vancouver. Bernier is framed for hardship. will \ Capt. has a record as a sea captain that is probably unique in maritime annals. ’ Before he was 18 years old he com- manded a clipper ship sailing from Can- ada to England, and has commanded 47 ships and steamers to all parts of the world. His friends believe he is the man destined to find the long-sought- for Pole,

She Tells of “Woman Office;’’ He of “Man in Flat.” in

Special to the Peat-Dispatch. NEWARK, Dec. 9.—Replying on the witness stand in the Court of Chancery to testimony given by her husband in his suit for divorce, Mrs. Clara May Beatty entered a denial to his allega- tions of wrongdoing and said he had been neglectful of her. It was because of his neglect, she said, that she went to live by herself In an apartment in the house of Mr. and Mrs. George Turk at 1013 Elizabeth avenue, Eliza- beth. ' *“‘He would be out all hours of the night,’ the witness said, ‘“‘and he would SO away Sundays.” On the witness stand two days before the husband, John Beatty, testified to finding his wife and the co-respondent in the case, Samuel Carne, in her apart- ments, the night of Oct, 23, 1904. Mrs. Beatty admitted Carne was there at thet time, but said she had been to visit him and his wife in their home and he had walked home with her. He was about to leave her apartment, she said, when the door burst open and her hus- band and Turk came in. Beatty had testified that on one occa- sion he saw Carne enter the house in which the defendant had a flat, and that he went into the back yard and climbed a pear tree so that he could see into the flat. He said that he saw Carne pass from one room to another with Mrs. Beatty and that Carne had an arm around Mrs. Beatty's waist. The defendant testified that on the night in question there were a dozen persons in her flat and that nothing of the kind testified to by her husband occurred Mrs. Beatty said her relations with her husband would have been amicable had it not been for ‘‘the woman he has in his office."’ 7 the time he got her in his office he took a room to himself.” . After she had denied she ever had given ker husband ground for divorce, Mrs. Beatty was asked to explain a let- ter she wrote to her husband Nov. 2. “If you want a divoroe,”’ the letter says, ‘why don't you get it? You must in the pond that ave never caught, and I ain a young woman. Life is too short to live this way forever. In regard to little Marian, you can come and get her any time you want her.

CHARIOT HORSES IN REAL RUNAWAY Bit of Ben Hur Performance Given in the City Streets, Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 9.—"‘Ben Hur’s”’ chariot race horses, decked in all their gorgeou harness, escaped from their keepers a few minutes after the completion of their one-minute act at the Mason Theater and gave the few pedestrians on the streets an exhibition of a race not on the “Ben Hur” pro- gram, but accompanied with as many thrilling features. From the stage entrance to the the- ater up Second street to South Hill the spirited steeds dashed far ahead of the keepers, their brilliant harness spark- ling with reflections from the sun rays. The surprised keepers hurried to the Tallyho stables, secured another horse and Save chase. At the corner of West First and South Bunker Hill streets the runaways were overtaken. For a moment they stopped and looked at their keeper, whom they seemed to recognize, on the back of a strange horse. DYING MOTHER FONERATES SOR Special to the Post-Dispatch.

OR six weeks before Christ- mas every ward in the St. Louis Doll Hospital on La- clede avenue is crowded with invalid dolls, waitirg to be operated on, and wit every day which brings Christmas _ nearer, new patients continue to arrive. So long as there was time enough in daylight to bring them fn, the sign “Doll Hospital” in large black letters over the front door of the reception room did well enough. But as the frightful amount of suffering arhong St. Louis dolls devel- ops in December, the days are not long enough to take them al! in. . : So a large transparency is kept illuminated over the door until late at night with “Doll Hos- pital” on three sides of it. The door of hope with the transparency over it is kept open for ‘pital is in the matter of prices. Dennis invented his profession before he studied it. As the matron now describes his results, nothing is beyond his skill. It is a small thing to him that a doll has had her eves punched out. The loss of one leg and.an arm is a mere noth- ing. The loss of both legs and both arms dove; not make the case hopeless. Far from it. On the contrary, a large number of the dolls re- ceived at the hospital have lost their heads. In fact, this seems to happen to an increasing num- ber of dolls every year. They lose their heads on the least provocation, of the trouble it makes for other people as well as for themselves, : The only difference it makes at the Doll Hos- A leg or an arm regardless doll sufferers until 1« : / | mg after surgeons in other {AJ hospitals of the city have closed their instru- ment eases and gone home. As a result of this institution, the mortality among St. Louis dolls is going down rapidly. rif f , ( f The number of dolls who have not outlived their { first year has been appalling. Before the Doll Hospital was opened, it is reasonably certain that at least a hundred thousand dolls perished miserably in St, Louis between Christmas of one year and Christmas of the next. Now hundreds of them are being treated at the hospital and saved from even the worst doll diseases, Mrs. S. Penticost, matron of the Doll Hospital, who has charge of the reception room, believes that the genius of the founder of the hospita] has already found the way to restore all dolls to health. The way to make a well-behaved doll practically immortal seems to her to have been discovered at last. She gives al) the credit to Thomas Russel] Dennis, D. 8. (which stands for “Doll Surgeon”). As hospital matron, Mrs. Penticost has the highest admiration for the ability of Doctor Dennis. She has taken in dolls lately which seemed lost and ruined past alt hope of salvation. No doll exeept the worst ever reaches this stage. In a recent case, a doll had gone hopelessly wrong. Punishment did her no good. It made her worse, in fact. She started in the world with a wealth of golden hairy and a face of innocent beauty, which disguised her badness. After a short time it began to come out and punishment made her worse. She went on from bad to worse until she fell from the nursery on the second floor to the kitchen and from the kitchen to the coal shed. “No one would have picked her up out of the alley when she was brought in here,” said the matron. “And now Jook at her and see for yourself.” A single look was enough to show what ap- peared to be her complete and permanent resto- ration. The outcast of last week had been re- stored to her origina] state of health. Her nair Was once more golden and the face around which it curled in vinglets was once motg smiling and full of happiness. She seemed in every respect as good as when che first came into a world of doll troubles. You could never have guessed from seeing ber the dread{ul story. of her life. When she has her best clothes on this Christmas, and vertain stains which surgery could not take out are covered up, no one will suspect her of being a doll with a bitter past, cg _ As the only doll surgeon in St. Louis, Doctor / ; \ can be restored by a slight operation out of the large number of extra legs and arms which are kept in stock, but when a doll high up in the social scale loses her head and goes down into the depths of the coal shed. she must have a new one imported from Germany if she ever expects one for twenty-five cents and upwards, according to her quality. The better she was to begin with the more it costs to make her as good as new after she has become a total wreck. A doll with a, papier mache body and limbs and angora goxt’s wool for hair may go to pieces and be brought to the hospital a total wreck. Yet she can be operated on and made as good as she was at first without great expense. If she had a face with a sweet bisque smile and real hair curls, four inches long, before she went to the bad, however, it is much harder to cure her than it is a common doll. After the surgeon has oper- ated on her, the matron is obliged to work the better part of a day making her a new head of hair and getting it into curl. On the Operating Table.

After they have been‘to the hospital they look as if they had never seen a Christmas before this. When the Doctor operates on them, the Matron dresses them.

THE PICTURESQUE WEDDING OF TEHUANTEPECS breros, the bandmen form their roggh ranks and $i HE Indians of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are a race apart. Ethnologists say that *the*beauty of the women of the Zapotecan race, the principal race of the isthmus, is excelled only by the women of the Samoan Islands of the Pacific. The principal ornament of a well dressed Zapo- tecan, aside from her rings of various sorts, is her necklace of American gold coins, Nothing but American gold is ever used. British sovereigns, French, German and even the present small per- centage of Mexican gold coins are all disdained, and American gold is bought at a high premium in order that it may adorn the necks of the belles of the isthmian metropolis. These coins are fastened together with gold wires and chains, making a very showy if not beautiful ornament. Every centavo @ Woman can save goes into her store against the time when ahe can buy another coin to add to her necklace. ' Half @gles and double eagles are fastened to- ether in this gorgeous chain, and the value of the decoration ranges all the way from a single ‘helf eagle suspended on a chain, to the great cape ief golden coina which belongs to a famous Te- He had a serious look just over the eves where | seriousness is most apt to come out.

The fo egu footwear is a species of invasion and unefean lb ness that they will not endure. The restraint and the undeniable unhealthiness of shoes in a tropic country have all their share of blame, but one cannot but think that it is most the ancient cus- tom that has come down from long ago that keeps them from it. The Zapotecans are the ¢ eanest people in the world, as @ race, and the long lines of bathers on each bank of every stream of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, from early dawn until nigh‘fall, attests the fact of their irre: proachable cleanliness. A Zapotecan wedding fiesta is a thing of real beauty. The queer, low, hot country churches are the scene of the religious ceremony.

“The Wireless Telegraph Now Sends It Wide and Far.” BY RT. REV. DANIEL 8. TUTTLE, Bishop Episcopal Church, Diocese of Missouri. ING out the Christmas bells again, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.” The message uplifts to God’s glory. It sweet- eng and strengthens love to men.. The church has sounded it forth for 20 centuries. And the world, coming alongside, joins hands with her and stops off its noise and greed and says it wants to be tender and generous and that it will never willingly let die the joy and peace and love of Christmas. Hearken! The message came first as by long distance telephone from God Him- self, through the chanting song of the angelic host over the Judean hillside. Then The wireless telegraph now sends it far and wide and even into utmost recesses that we sometimes thought dark and forbidding, ; It is a heaven-opening message. It is a heart-softening message. It is a world- Jewish shepherds of old were the first to hear it. Jews of the now and merciful Christians alike hear it and receive its divine uplift and its constraining love. All ye nations of the earth! All ye souls of men! Forget ye not Open ye your hearts to kindly peace and love and helpfulness to fel-

world. With such an assistance as this whereby civilization is always within sound of the voice—there is no savage wilderness that may not be penetrated with comparative safety. This little wave, starting from the lone opera- tor in his station in East St. Louis, grows on the imagination as one thinks of it even as it swells and grows in the air to which -it is delivered. When a wireless message is brought into exist- ence by the apparatus at a station it is given Off by numerous antenna wires. These messages travel in every direction. The action of a wireless message on the terrestrial atmosphere has been effectively compared to the movement of a bunch of jelly. When you touch the jelly it shakes. Notice that the jelly-body has been disturbed is conveyed almost instantaneously to every part and side. So it is with the transmission of a wireless message into the air. It spreads in every direction, the atmosphere-body quivering from center to circumference, the message arriy- ing simultaneously at equal points on all sides of the station from which it was transmitted, and, call—within the. to all intents and purposes, immediately upon being transmitted. f Stations “in tune” within a certain radius of the sending station will pick up the message ‘immediately. Just how far away a station may be and still be within the territory of the sta- tion at East St. Louis is beyond the absolute knowledge of any human being. Even the ‘mas- ters of wireless sa do not know. They know how far they can transact a commercial business, guaranteeing continuous and effective service, but they have been startled to get something from out of a distance that is almost awe-in- spiring. East St. Louis has repeatedly picked up New York City direct, without the message having been relayed.

IX months before the Ston- eyman family moved from Westmoreland place, St. Louis, to New York, Dr. Morgan Tudor telephoned me to come to his office at once. “Drop everything else. It is a case of life and death,” he said before ring- ing off. The message did not come from his office on Euclid avenue, but from the editorial rooms of the Journal] of Neuro-Psychiatry he was then ed- iting. I was not surprised at this, because even then he had got so deep into neuro-psychiatry that he had given up his general West End prac- tice except a few families he could not get away from. In 15 minutes I was sitting facing him as he turned his chair from his desk and opened the conversation. His table was filled with instruments for uring thought waves” and getting at the secrets of the soul by recording the curves made on paper *“meas- by the pencil point of a “psychometer” of his own invention. I told him once, after we had grown intimate, that these things were mere fads. “You’ve got what I think the greatest mind in modern medicine,” I said to him. “You are fritter- ing it away in this sort of thing. Your next step will be to seeing ghosts and investigating material. ization. If you don’t stop, it will rot surprise me at all to see you at clairvoya::t lectures or trying to find why-the tables tip in dark seances.” He had laughed then, but he was not in a jok ing humor now. “Watson,” he said, going on in the Stoneyman family and if we ca.- not find out what it is, Mrs. Stoneyman will not live until the end of the month. She is as good as a dead woman now. I sent for you because you are a rank agnostic. You believe nothing but what you see and hardly that. I have got so mixed up-in these strange things that I distrust my own judgnent and begin to doubt if I have You must take my place in nursing “there is something terrible any left. Mrs. Stoneyman tonight and make me a d:taiied report of everything that occurs, especially of everything you see, if you see anything you can- not account for.” 3 : This was the introduction I had to my perience as a detective. After it was all over, and I had made a failure of it, | made up my mind to leave others to do the detection. Also to let psychiatry and all that alone, as far as possible. {t is enough for me as a South End doctor to pre- scribe for every-day pains and aches among every- day people, who do not know too much. That is neither here nor there. What h: :ppened that night the Stoneyman house is nota long story, but itis not one I am ever likely to-forget. At half past 8 o’clock that evening | drove with Dr. Tudor to Westmoreland place and he introduced me as the specialist he had called into the case for consultation. The late Rcbert D. Stonevman could be cordial enough when he pleased, and he shook hands with me warmly. At least he intended it for warmth, but his hands were as cold as, those of a corpse. He must have felt my impression of surprise through the nerves of his arm. He with- drew his hand hastily and stepped to one side sv that we could go before him up the stairway. I began to feel oppressed from the time I en- tered the magnificently furnished house. The at- mosphere seemed that of an insane asylum. At the foot of the stair the electric globe which illuminated the hall was held at arm’s length by a life-size bronze satyr. As I passed the statue I got the startling im- pression that the satyr had thrust his tongue into his cheek and moved his bronze eyelids in staring at me. I threw off the impression at once, but still as I vent up the stairway behind Dr. Tudor, with one e@x- Stoneyman following me, the idea uppermost in my mind was that the satyr behind us was con- torting his face into the most hideous grimaces. It was so strong that at the head of the stairway | could not resist the impulse to look back. Of course, | found the satyr standing immovable, with his bronze back towards us, as would have been expected in the case of any other bronze satyr which cost $3000 F,. O. B. at the foundry in Munich, I found Dr. Tudor watching me as if he had ex- pected and detected everything I felt. He shook his head as if warning me that I must keep my own character of a scoffer at his psychiatry, Then he advanced into a bedroom on the right of the hall as the door was opened for us by the trained nurse. Stoneyman followed us into the room. It was the identical room in the Stoneyman mansion whose ceiling had been frescoed by Pret- ticraft of the New York School of Design, at a cost of $5000. He had made a charge of $7000 and in the dispute over his bill the whole question of i Pita bla i le a Paaras |) * $4 id a es peers - until, side, His examination lasted only a few minutes. He then left #he house, saying aloud to me, evidently with the intention of having it heard by Stoney- man: “Dr, Watson, I will leave you in charge of the case for the night without making any ad- vance statement of my own conclusions. It seems most important that you should observe the symp- toms for yourself and form your own conclusions from your own standpoint, independently of mine.” After Dy. Tudor left the house, Stoneyman mo- tioned me to an armchair at the side of the bed, with gentle pressure he forced it to her taking his own place on the side of the bed oppo-, site me. For five minutes we conversed in a low tone on indifferent subjects. I thought it might comfort him to tell him that his wife would not be disturbed in her condition by anything going on around her and I added that she might perhaps high art was aired in the papers. The centerpiece of the ceiling was the “Birth of Venus” and the vorner pieces showed dances of nymphs in the choir of Venus with fauns and satyrs. I have an idea that these devotees of high art sometimes paint such things merely to leave a record of their own scorn of the ignorance of their patrons. But that is neither here nor there, I mention the decoration of the $5000 ceiling merely because the single swift glance I gave it as I entered the room gave me once more a strong impression that my mind was being disordered in some unaccountable way. The satyrs in the cornerpieces seemed about to grin and thrust their tongues into their cheeks after the fashion of the bronze satyr in the hall- way. I grasped strong hold on my mind and droye it back to reality. The most impressive reality of the room was a woman of about 40, who lay on the hed, seemingly insensible. She must have been very beautiful in her first youth. Her face seemed to have been a pleasant one always. In spite of her pallor and the thinness of her cheeks, the face still suggested more of a happy past than her wretched present. I concluded that she must have once been one of those charming women who adore their husbands and help to sweeten life for all who came in contact with them. I had scarcely need to look a second time to con- vince myself that she was a victim of the most mysterious of all diseases—catalepsy. Dr. Tudor had raised her arm to feel her pulse. The arm remained extended in the air after he releaséd it, oe 7 "9 7 .

I looked for the trained nurse, and finding her absent from the room, I asked what her hours usually were. “She has a room above at the other end of the hall,” said Stoneyman. “Her work ends at 9 in the evening. I trust no one else with my wife during the night.” I did not ask him why. He did not seem dis- posed to talk and I gave up trying to talk with him. For two hours and a half the only stir in the room was what I made myself as at intervals of an hour I examined the patient. She had only the faintest possible pulse and her breath was not strong enough to leave a film on the handglass until within a few minutes of midnight. To my surprise, I found her pulse growing stronger. The glass held over her lips showed a distinct film. I made no comment until as the clock in the neighboring convent began striking 12, I repeated the tests. There could be no pos- sibility of mistake, “Your wife may recover consciousness in a few minutes,” I said to Stoneyman. He rose and stood at the side of the bed, but made no answer. I saw that he was trembling and supposed it was with joy. [ had no time, however, for thinking further of his emotions. The woman stirred, muttered un- intelligibly and attempted to sit up in bed. I stepped forward to support her, but before I could -do so she had risen to a sitting posture with her arm stretched out, pointing to the opposite wall. Her face was set and her eyes staring, with a hor- ror in them I had never thought possible for hu- man eyes to express. “There, there” she said, ‘it is Christmas morn- See the poor tiings. O, cannot some 999 again. one help them The intensity of the suffering in her face was in- tolerable. I took hold of her arm and attempted to ease her back on the pillows, but she resisted me, Te- peating: “There, there, look there!” with her arm extended with the rigidity of cataleptic muscles. I could not help looking at the wall and I con- fess it was half with the expectation of seeing the satyr in the hal] grinning at me from it and thrusting out his tongue. Some horror in the house seemed to take full ing possession of me. chair. As I stared at the wall, I almost forgot the pa- tient until Stoneyman laid his hand on her shoul- der, intending, no doubt, to assist in easing her back on the pillows. “There, there, look there!” she repeated again, with a tone of stil] deeper suffering. The Win- stons! O, Robert, can’t you help them? The poor things! The poor things! She is dying, Robert, she is dying!” It is absolutely incredible. myself. lieve it. I do not believe it I do not expect anyone else to be- I hope no one will. But the wall seemed to have projected against it as a background, the life of some distant room. The moment Stoney- man laid his hand on his wife’s shoulder, it seemed to me that I was looking directly into a mis- erable bedroom at daybreak, .A woman lay on the bed, from which two little girls had risen. On the wall at the side of a cracked stove they hai hung their stockings, the night before, no doubt. They were taking them down. I saw that they were empty. The children, one a girl of 7, the other of 4, began sobbing silently. The youngest ran to the bed to waken her mother. She tugged at the woman’s arm, but could not wake her Then I seemed myself to be inthe room, and to be at the side of the bed, making an examination. [ saw at once why she did not awake. “Tnanition,” I said aloud. “Starved to death!” I heard Stoneyman groan. He renewed his at- tempt to get his wife once more back on her pil- lows, but she resisted him. “Look, look, look!” she repeated. I could not help looking at the wall. As I did so, the scene I imagined I had seen had changed altogether. A man of about 35 was sitting at the window of a comfortably furnished bedroom. He looked blankly out and I seemed to look with him, recognizing the surroundings as those of Pine street beyond Grand, a St. Louis lo- cality of easy comfort. I had no time to think of this, for the man seemed suddenly to rise from his With a single stride he was at the bureau. Opening the top drawer, he took out a revolver. I actually writhed forward in the attempt to stop him, but in an instant, he had placed the revolver to his temple. Under the strong delusion of the place I heard the shot. I heard a scream from an adjoining room and as a woman ran into the cham- ber where the man now Jay extended at full length on the flaor, I saw her face. It was the same face I had seeh in the tenement attic, the face of the dead woman. [ felt my mind failing me and my first impulse was to rush from the house. But before I could move, Mrs, Stoneyman fell back on her pillows, once more motionless and seemingly lifeless. This recalled me to myself and my professional] duty. | felt her pulse and made other tests, finding her cataleptic trance condition once more complete. With the sense of doing my professional duty to support me, I recovered myself and looked at Stoneyman. He had collapsed into a heap in the armchair on the opposite side of the bed. I knew at once that he must have had some such strange imaginations as my own. “Brandy,” he said feebly, pointing to a closet in the corner of the room. When [ had opened it and found a de- canter, he sat up and poured the stuff down his throat until I thought it best to stop him. He gave the decanter into my hands and dropped his head back against the chair in which he was sit- ting. Neither he nor I spoke again during the night. When I left the house at 7 o’clock Mrs. Stoney- man lay as she had lain when I first saw her. Her trance was complete, and except to expert knowledge, she seemed dead. [ had intended to report to Dr. Tudor at 10 o’clock, but when I went to my own office at 9:30 I found him waiting. He did not speak until we were both inside. “Well,” he said slowly, “what do you think. of the case?” “As you know yourself, it is catalepsy,” I said shortly, “As you know yourself, your patient, if she does not die when the climax comes, will be- come incurably insane. I cannot understand why a man of your wide experience would think it nec essary to call me or anyone else into consultatio» in a case where your own informat’on is com- plete.” “Then you sew nothing unusual in the syinp- toms?” he insisted. “I know nothing unusual in it beyond what you know yourself,” I answered. “There are some things in these cases I never expect to know, be- cause I never want to know them. All I know about them is what you know yourself, that some forms of the worst insanity are as catching as smallpox. Cases of that kind are your specia!ty, not mine. I would rather treat smallpox in the slums.” ~ i Sy ae > “my 7 Se : ne. : 4 . vas ia ‘S ; ee I did not have occasion to. go to Tudor’s offiee for several months after this. In the meantime, Stoneyman had taken his wife to New York for treatment and the family never returned to St. Louis. I have heard it since reported that Mrs. Stoneyman is dead. According to another report, she is “under treatment” in a private sanitarium. In spite of all I could do to throw it off my mind, the case haunted me until I seemed driven to find some sort of explanation for it. I found myself picking up and piecing together every scrap of information about Stoneyman’s life I could come in reach of. I “worked the case” as if I had be- come a detective instead of a doctor, Before I — had followed him through his great career in Dressed Beef Consolidated back to his birthplacein @% Clay Flat, the case seemed to possess: me, I formed one logical theory after another and pieced together the evidence to fit it. Still I always end-— a ed where I began. Often in bed at midnight my logical theories led me to the imagination of a bronze satyr moving his eyelids: - thrusting his tongue into his cheek. When I had occasion to call on Tudor to ask him to take a case of such acute hyperesthesia as I wish to leave out of the lines of my own practice, he consented, though with some reluctance. “I wish I had never gone into that sort of | thing,” he said. all the worst delusions of some other life. But as I am in for it, I suppose I will have to take the case. By the way, here is something I think will x 4 interest you.” He took a scrap book from his desk and opened ~ it. It was filled with newspaper clippings which ~ evidently had some connection with his practice. — The page to which he opened was labeled in his handwriting: “Case of Adele S., wife of R. D, 8. Catalepsy and final dementia.” My eye fel] on a headline over an article clipped from a newspaper during the period when Stoney- _ man’s great master stroke of genius, Dressed Beef Consolidated, was being made. “Suicide of Edgar Winston” was the first head ing. “One More Bankruptcy Following the Success — of the Consolidated” was the second heading. Be- | fore I had completed the reading, a heatlline below ~ caught my eye. oner’s inquest, evidently clipped from a paper of several years’ later*date. The headlines made it clear that the wife of a man, once a prosperous merchant, had been found dead im a tenement. In the first three lines I saw that she was “the widow of the late Edgar Winston.” I looked for the verdict. It was “death from starvation.” I looked for the day of the month amd did not find it. “When was this?” I asked Tudor. “You will find the date of the death mentioned AB in the testimony of the first witness,” he said. “She was found dead in bed on the morning of Dee. 25.” “Why do you keep such things?” I asked. “I am obliged to try to learn everything, even the worst,” he said. “I believe in a hell; it is my scientifio specialty te keep as many people out of it as possible.” “My specialty,” I replied, “Is the diseases of pov- erty.” —_—— - -— MHEN RIL OU may not th.k it a joke, but I assure you Riley dij. tHe had the keen sense of humor, « city for and inclination to laughter which fo. something to tickle his risibles in the most soisn affairs of life. The priest warned hiin repeatedly, albeit Father Casey was as fond of his joke as the next one Sometimes in the still watches of the night Riley would stare at the darkness with wide eyes sleep feared to touch and the lines about his mouth were hard and grim. Then he would Le thinking of that note for $800 due December _4, without grace, and nothing’ to pay it unless Heinepfetier could work his pull at City Hall, pet an allowance on. bis sewer contract and pay Riley the $1.°0 due for nearly a year on a grad- ing job. Heinepfeffer was “in” up to his neck. He lost money on the Oriental Place contract, sunk some more on setijing basin work which the city en- zineers conulemned and compelled him to do all over again, at great cost, and then his father-in- law robbed him. Riley’s streak of bad luck was coincident and similar, but it was worse in that he had less to lose. A fire destroyed his barn and 16 mules; the price of labor went up suddenly because of much grading and he finished two contracts at a loss. Then he had borrowed $1500 from the Sixth National im two notes indorsed by Heinepfeffer, who wes not worth a dollar; O'Connell, who sent every cent he made above his living to Ireland every Saturday afternoon, and Murphy, who had just cleared the mortgage off a pretty home on Spalding avenue. He was looking forward to being buried from there in about twenty-five years. So, you see, if Riley failed to pay the notes, Murphy was the man who would & Ch. | rr seve to shoulder the debt. The first note of $700 was cleaned off after a ‘mort of hustling, but when the second fell due - 4, there was not a dollar in Riley’s command to scale it down. The Sixth Nationat granted an extension of 60 days because of Riley’s tearful, laughing, pleading, boasting, wheedling, bullying assault on the President. The ex*eusion it was tht expired on Dec. 24, and there was no chance of a further extension. On Dec. 24 the note would go e protest. And then—Riley rehearsed it many a time in the night’s still watches—all he possessed in mules, scrapers, plows, grading machines and his equity in the bit of land on which stood his mortgaged home would be sold and Murphy would have to put a new mortgage on that pretty Spalding ave- nue cottage to pay the balance. More than that, there would be no Christmas’ presents in the Riley home. Young Pat had never failed to get some sort of gift on that day, but he was getting too old to be much concerned if his father failed to add something to the knicknacks mother would supply. But Mother=there was the rub, Riley, in the first year of his married life, being very poor and very thrifty, had given his wife a mule and she had given him a set of harness. The next year he gave her another mule and harness and she gave him fire scrapers. And so it had gone on for 16 years. Once he gave her a gran- itoid walk in the back yard and she gave him a set_of lace curtains for the parlor windows. ‘Ihat was the way it had always been. They had more fun out of this sort of Christgas present than any other thing in their lives. Now Riley knew that his wife was going to give him a new coat of paint on the mortgaged home and he had hoped to give her the mort- gage canceled, but as that was impossible, he was expected to give her a new front and side fence, which would cost $200. “Domed if I don’t do it,” he shouted-at the black night and Mrs. Riley leaped from ine bed ik Si eh st a i aa ig a cages «= Page Six screaming in fright. “Who is it?

And im- pressing the carpenter with his enthusiasm, real- ly got the work in such shape that it would be finished by Christmas Eve. That next day was Dec. 21. On Dec. 22 the President of the Sixth Na- tional Bank received a letter from Mary Riley informing him of the sudden death of her hus- band Patrick. “When he lie gasping,” she wrote, “you was on his mind. ‘Tell him,’ he says, ‘tell him to be easy wid you, Mary; he’s a good man, but you must tell him I said he was to be easy.’ I don. know what he meant, but 1 took my Bible oath to tell you soon as the breath was dut of him, and I tell you here just aa he said the words.” The presiders sent for n-ey’s note. His eyes were suspiciously moist and he had to hold the note in several lights before he could satisfy f.im- self as to the day on which it was due, “The twenty-fourth? Humph!” The president thought awhile. Then he or- dered the note extended for 60 days on his own responsibility. There was a death notice in the paper, ending with an astounding sentence. “Funeraj private.” The president marveled over such reticence, know- ing the social nature of the shrewd Irishman, but dismissed the matter from his mind. He wrote the widow a letter of condolence, in which he informed her of the note which occa- sioned Riley so much anxiety and also of the ex- tension for 60 days, “at the end of which time I hope you will have been able to adjust your late husband’s affairs and take up the note.” Oh, Patrick, don’t By BIED—By Riley’s friends heard of his death in many roundabout ways and flocked to his home in spite of the intimation in the death notice that their condolences were not desired. They found Heine- pfeffer in charge, no corpse or widow visible and an air of repulsive secrecy pervading the house. “Whin is the fun’ral?” asked Mrs. Collins, the mother of Delegate Collins and a power herself in the ward. | “I don’t know,” Heinepfeffer said, coldly. “An’ where is Mary Burke? Let me to her for comfort in her grief.” “Who’s Mary Burke?” “The widdy, Missus Riley, that way. Where’s she now?” “She’s shut herself up and wants fo one to come by her.” “Whust, but that’s a bad thing to do. She should be sharing her grief. Well, where’s the corpse ?” “In the undertaker’s.” “Why, now, is it there?” “They’e fixing him to look natural.” “Was he kilt? Tell us, man, how did he die?” Heinepfeffer blushed and stammered. He coughed. “Well, it was something with his stom- ach. He eat something and then he die.” “Poison!” Mrs. Collins saw it all, and driven to desperation by Heinepfeffer’s stolid uncom- municativeness, went forth to spread the news. By noon it was all over the ward that Riley had died of poison. By night hie -wife was ac- cused of poisoning him. The twenty-fourth dawned with the conviction in every one’s mind that Heinepfeffer and Mrs. Riley had murdered Pat and were getting ready for flight with all his wealth. Of course, Officer McCarthy heard of it. He told his brother-in-law, Sergt. Cosgrove, who tel- if you will have it Ivan ephoned the Coroner and went to the Riley home. There was no one there. It was night before the police located Heine- pfeffer in a South St. Louis bierhaus. He was gar- rulously drunk, He was laughing boisterously over a story told by a wiry, freckled, blue-eyed lrishman. “Riley!” he shouted. “Quit it. You'll give me a stroke if you don’t stop your monkey talk.” “Riley?” asked Cosgrove. “Air ye a kin to the Pat Riley that’s dead?” “Hear him,” cried Riley. self.” And Heinepfeffer nearly reached apoplexy in re- newed gusts of laughter, seeing Cosgrove’s blank face and staring eyes. “Sit wid us,” commanded Riley, “and I’ll tell ye the tale. Me note’s extinded. Heine’s got ad- vance money and he’s paid me all he owes and we need ye here to help celebrate, for I’m coming back to life. It ain’t often ye get to drink with a corpse and on Christmas Eve.” The president of the Sixth National was might; ily startled the day after Christmas to see Riley, who had entered soft foot, at his desk. When he realized that the man stood there in the flesh he gave him a heartier welcome than any visitor to that office had ever received. “It was all a mistake, sor,” said Riley loftily. “If you please, sor, I7l be paying me note.” Mrs. Riley got ber fence and instead of paint- ing the house, though it needed it, she gave Pat- rick a new hall and parlor carpet, for sympathetic friends had put the finishing touches of wear with their heavy shoes to carpets that great care had been made to do several years longer than a housewife likes to keep them.

Bachman, the proprietor of the Bee Hive always gave a Christmas dinner to his em- ploves.

I saw Leo fighting furiously with a number of men who strove to pull him down, *, jurvously, indeed, that his frigntful efforts caused the blood to gush out of his mouth from some burst vessel in the lungs. Then sight and hearing failed me, and, thinking ‘hat this was death, I fell, and remembered no more. Why JI was not killed outright I do not know, un- less In their hurry the disruised soldiers thought me @iready dead, or perhaps that my life was to be spared also. At least, beyond the knock upon the head. I received ro injury. When I came to myself again !t was daylight. I saw the culm, gentle face of Qros bending over me as he ‘poured some strong fluid down my throat that scemed to shoot through all my body, and melt a curtain in my mind. I saw also that beside him stova Sveshn, ‘Speak, man, speak,’’ she said, in a terrible voice Thou ltivest, then wher is my lord? Where hast tnou hid my lord?

Little wonder we were deceived after thou hadst said that thou mightest summon us ere dawn.”’ then as briefly as 1 could I told the story. She listened, went to where our murdered guards lay with unstained spears, and looked at them. “Well for these that they are dead,”’ she exclaimed. “Now, Holly, thou_seest what is the fruit of mercy. ‘Tne me. whose lives I gave my lord haye failed him at his need.” - hen she passed forward to thé spot where Leo was captured. Here lay a broken sword—Leo’ s—that had been the Khan Rassen’s, and two dead men, Both of these were clothed in. some tight-fitting black gar- ments, having their heads and faces whitened with chalk. and upon their vests a rude imitation of a huniin skeleton, also daubed in chalk. “A trick fit to frighten fools with,’’ she said, con- “But, oh! that Atene should have dared to play the part of Ayesha, that she should have ‘See, sur- prised anc overwhelmed, yet he fought well.

In a ringing voice: “Back and to horse, for 1 have day.

Then, in the midst of the five thousand horsemen we moved dowh upon the ford As we reached brink | moted that the two divisions of ° tribes- men» were already entering the stream half a mile to the right and left of us. Of what befell them ; ean tell nothing from observation, although I learned later that they forced it after great slaughter o9n both sides. -n front of us was gathered the main body of the Khania’s armry, massed by regiments upon the fur- ther bank, while hundreds of picked men stood up to their middiles in the water, waiting to spear or ham- string our horses as we advanced. Now, uttering their wild, whistling cry, our lead- ing companies dashed into the river, leaving us upon TS the bank, and soon were engaged hotly with the foot- % meh in midstream. While this fray went on, Oros came to Ayesha and told her a spy had reported that Leo, bound in a two-wheeled carriage and accom- panied by Atene, Simbri and a guard, had passed through the enemy's camp at night, galloping furi- ously toward Kaloon. Ayesha held up her aand, in which there was no weapon, and waved it forward. A great cheer an- swered that/ signal to advance, and in the midst of it this frail, white-robed woman spoke to her hersé, so that it plunged deep into the water. Two minutes later, and spears and arrows were fly- ing about us so thickly that they seemed to darken the sky. I saw men and horses fall to right and left, but nothing touched me or the white robes that floated a yard or two ahead. Five minutes and we were gaining the further bank, and there the worst fight began. it was fierce indeed, yet never an inch did the white robes give back, and where they went men and the would follow them or fall. We were'‘up the bank, enemy was packed about us but through them we passed slowly like a boat through an adverse sea that buffets but cannot stay it. Yes, further and further, till at last the lines ahead grew thin an the living wedge of horsemen forced its path between them—grew thin, broke and vanished. We had passed through the heart of the host, and leaving the tribesmen who followed to deal with its flying fragments, rode on half a mile or so and mustered. Many were dead and more were hurt, but the command was issued that all sore-wounded men -ghovld fall out and give their horses to replate those that had been killed. - “S “a ant y ee Sead & & CHAPTER XXil. The Yielding of Ayesha. His aspect pained me. I knew not why. It was no longer that of the Leo with whom I was famillar— the deep-chested, mighty-limbed, jovial, upright trav- eler, hunter and fighting man who had chanced to love end be loved of a spiritual power incarnated in & mold of perfect womanhood and armed with all the might of nature's self. These things were still pres- ent, ideed but the man was changed, and I felt sure that th's change came from Ayesha, since the look upon his face had become exceeding like to that which cften hovered upon hers at rest. She aiso was watching him, with speculative, dreamy eyes, till presently, as some thought swept through her, I saw those eyes blaze up, and the red blood pour to cheek and brow. Yes, the mighty Aye- sha, whose dead, slain for him, lay strewn by the see PATIL we he Rt naive nau : swear to thee the boon of endless days. that a hundred lives should pay for every drop of that dear blcod of thine, and I, who lie not, have kept the oath. Look now on that man who stands yon- der struck by my will to stone, dead yet living, and say aguin what was he about to do to thee when [ entered here?” “To take vengeance on me the doom of bis queen aad of her armies,.”’ answered Leo, ‘‘and, Avye- sha, how kuowest thou that a power higher than thine own will not demand it yet?” As he spoke a pale shadow flickered on Leo's face, such a shadow as might fall from death's advanc- ing wing. and in the fixed eyes of the Shaman there shone a stony smile. for a mement terror seemed to take Ayesha, it was gone as quickly as it came. “Nay,” she said. “I ordain that it shall not be, and, save one who listeth not, what power reigns in this wide earth that dare defy my will?’ So she spoke, and as her words of awful. pride— for they were very awful—rang round that stone-built chamber, a vision came to me—Holly. I saw illimitable space peopled with shining suns, and sunk in the infinite void above them one vast Countenance clad in a calm so terrific that at its as- pect ry spirit sank to nothingness. Yes, and I knew that this was Destiny enthroned above the spheres. Those lips moved and obedient worlds rushed upon their course. They moved again and these rolling chariots of the heavens were turned or stayed, ap- peared or disappeared. I knew also that against this calm Mujesty the being, woman or spirit, at my side had dared to hurl her passion and her strength. My soul reeled I was afraid. The dread phantasm passed, and when my mind cleared again Ayesha was speaking in new, trium- phant tones “Nay, nay.” she cried. “Past is the night of dread; dawns the day of victory! Look!’’ and she pointed through the window places shattered by the hurri- cane, to the flaming town beneatf, whence rose one continual wail of misery, the wail of women mourn- ing their countless slain while the fire roared through their homes like some unchained and rejoicing demon. “Look, Leo, on the smoke of the first sacrifice that I offer to thy royal state, and listen to its music. Perchance thou deemest it naught. Why, then, I'll give thee others. Thou lovest war. Good! we will go down to war, and the rebellious cities of the earth shall be the torches of our march. " She paused a moment, her delicate nostrils quiver- ing. and her face alight with the prescience of un- garnered splendors; then, like a swooping swallow, flitted to where, by dead Atene, the gold circlet fal- len from the Khania's hair lay upon the floor. She stooped, lifted it, and, coming to Leo, held it on high above his head. Slowly she let her hand fall until the glittering coronet rested for an Instant on his brow. Then she spoke, in her glorious voice that rdiled out rich and low, a very paean of triumph and of power. “Sty this poor, earthly symbol I create thee King of Earth; yea, in its round for thee is gathered all her rule. Be thou its king. and mine!” Again the coronet was held aloft, again it sank, and again she said, or rather, chanted: “With this unbroken ring. token of eternity, I Endure thou while the world endures, and be !ts lord, and mine,” A third time the coronet touched his brow. “By this goldén round 1 do endow thee with wis- dom'’s perfect gold uncountable, that Is the talisman whereat all nature’s secret paths shall open to thy feet. Victorious, victorious, tread thou her wondrous ways with me, till from her topmost peak at last she for then She shrank back from him a little, as though dis maved. Sill Ayesha stood silent, only now her head drooped and her breast began to heave. Then Leo stepped forward; he seized her in his arms and kissed her) She broke from his embrace, I know not how, for. though unreturned, it Was close enough, and again stood before him, but at a little distance. “Did 1 nct warn thee, Holly,’’ she whispered, with a sigh, ‘*“‘to bid thee beware lest 1 should catch thy humon fire? Man, I say to thee, it begins to smolder in tiny heart, and should it grow to flame’’—— “Why, then,” he answered, laughing, ‘we will happy for a little while.”’ “Ay, Leo, but how long? Why wert thou sole lord of this loveliness of mime and not set above their harming? Night and day a hundred jealous daggers would seek thy heart and—find it.’’ “How long. Ayesha? A lifetime, a year, a month. a misute--]-neither know nor care, and while thou art true to me I fear no stabs of envy.” “Is it so? Wilt take the risk? I can promise thee nothing. Thou mightest—yes, in this way or in that, thou nightest—die.” “And if I died, what then? Shall we be separated ?’’ “Nay. nay. Leo, that is not possible. We never can be severed, of this I am sure; it is sworn to me. But then through other lives and other spheres, high- er lives and higher spheres, mayhap, our fates must force a painful path to their last goal of union.” “Why, then, I take the hazard, Ayesha. Shall the life that I can risk to slay a Jeopard or a Hon in the sport of au idle day be too great a price to offer for the splendors of thy breast? Thine oath! Ayesha, I claim thine oath.” Then it was that in Ayesha there began the most mysterious and ‘thrilling of her many changes. Yet how to describe it I know not, unless it be by simile. Once in Thibet we were imprisoned for months by snows that stretched down from the mountain slopes into the vallevs. and, oh! how weary did we grow of those arid, aching fields of purest white. At length rain set in, and blinding mists in which it was not safe to wander, that made the dark nights darker yet. So it was until there came a morning when, seeing the stn shine, we went to our door and looked out. Behold a miracle! Gone were the snows that choked the valley, and in the place of them appeared vivid springing grass, starred everywhere with flowers, and mury-uring brooks and birds that sang and nest- ed in the willows. Gone was the frowning sky, and all the blue firmament seemed one tender smile. Gone were the austerities of winter, with its harsh winds, and in their place spring, companioned py ner zephyrs. glided down the vale singing her song of love and life There, In this high chamber, In the presence of the living and the dead, while the last act of the great tragcdy unrolled itself before mé, looking on Ayesha. that forgotten scene sprang into my mind. For on her face just such a change had come. Hitherto, with all her loveliness, the heart of Ayesha had seemed liko that winter mountain wrapped in its un- approachable snow. and before her pure brow and icy self-commmand aspirations sank abashed and desire died. She swore she loved. and her love fulfilled itself in denth and many a mysterious way. Yet it was hard to believe that this passion of hers was more than a spoken part, for how can the star seek the moth. although the moth may seek the star? Though the man may worship the goddess, for all her smiles divine, how can the goddess love the man? But now everything was altered! Look! Alesha be Seah ee Doe Se Ae, pie!

I have made an end of doubts and fears, and come death, come life, I'll meet it bravely. “Say, how shall we be wed? I have lt. Holly here must join our hands; who else?

Holly, do now thy part maiden to this man.” Like on: in a dream I obeyed her and took Ayeesha outstretched hand and Leo's. As I held them thus, I tell the truth—it was as though some fire rushed throuxh my veins from her to him, shaking and shuttering me with swift waves of burning and un- earthly bliss. With the fire, too, came glorious visions and sounds of mighty music, and a sense as though and give this my hrain, filled with overflowing life, must burst was the corpse © asunde; beneath its weight. I joined their hands, I know not how; I bleased them, I know not in what words. Then I reeled back against the wall and watched. This ‘s what I saw. With an abandonment and @ passion so splendid and intense that it seemed more than human, with &® murmured cry of “Husband!” Ayesha cast her arms cbout her lover's neck and, drawing down his head to hers so that the gold hair was mingled with her raven locks, she kissed him on the lips. Thus they clung a little while, and as they the genile dladem of light from her brow spread to his brow also, and through the white wrappings of her robe became visible her perfect shape shining with faint fire. With a little, happy laugh she left him. saying. ‘Thus, Leo Vincey, oh! thus for the second time do I give myself to thee. and with this flesh and ep'rit i clung the desert beyond, till one nicht we come what may, never, never more shall we be arate who are ordained one. “Whilst thou livest I at thy side, and when thou diest, if die thou I'll follow thee through worlds and firmaments, shall all the doors of heaven or hell avail my love.

The curtain of flame flared in of us, its crest bent over like a billow in and to leeward, one by one, floated the clouds and pinnacles of fire.

At length she rose, “Darkness draws near, my Holly, ness which foreruns the glory of t fare thee well for one little hour. about to die, but not before, call me, and ft to thee.
