CAN'T GOVERN POLITICAL CLUB ND SHLONS

Folk Says Excise Commissioner Must Not Be President of Jefferson Club.

A SHOCK TO MULVIHILL ‘He Declines to Discuss It Until He Hears Direct From ‘the Governor.

THE SEIBERT PARALLEL

‘How the Dramshop Keepers Changed Political Faith in His Administration. Thomas Mulvihill, Excise Commission- er, is doing some consequence of information from Jeffer- gon City that Gov. Folk is against the Excise Commissioner of St. Louis be- coming Presidént of the Jefferson Club. When Mr. Mulvinill was told Monday Folk had: given out the of- ficial statement that he was opposed to Mr. Mulvihill mixing the duties of Ex- cise Comimissidiier and. President of the political club he said it was the first information he “had received. He de- clined to discuss the matter until he re- ceived word frem the Governor directly. Mr. Mulvihill, in an {nterview recent- ly, stated that if elected president of the Jeffers Club, one of his first efforts wowlg@ be to pay the debts of that organization and place it on a self- sustaining basis. Gov. Folk guve expression Monday of his opposition to the idea of Mr. Mulvi- hii becoming nresident of the club. The dispatch telling of the official announce- ‘ f\rent says: The “hi Ee Stand. Gov. Folk thinks a good deal of Mr. Mulvihill, and wishes him to have all he may desire. He thinks Mr. Mulvihill is entirely competent: to be president of the Jef- ferson Club, or to fill any other place, but he will ngt permit the Excise Com- missioner of Si. Louis to be president of the Jéffergon Club. He does not think it would be to the best interests of the public service for the two places to be held by the same man. No matter tow good his intentions or how pure his purpose, such an arrance- ment by reason of the plenary powers given by law to the Excise Commission- er over the Saloons would inevitably tend to.embarrass the Commissioner in the discharge . of his official duties. It’ is pointed out by those ‘familiar with political: history that “Jim’’ Set- bert encountered his first trouble as a political bosg when he became Excise Cémnitesioner of St. Louls. Seibert hailed from Cape Girardeau, Mo. He and Martin L. Clardy, the Mis- comtrolled the gourt for towards of a. decade.

Club needed strengthenifig. He had already gotten the policetrien into line through a sym- pathetic police board, until the Jeffer- gon Club Boon, numbered 1000 blue coats among its membership. Up to the ‘time ofthe Dockery regime most of thie saloon: keepers had been affiliated with the Republican party. But Seibert, or at least the wonderful authority exercised by his office, got then: t6 thinking (feme-evas some merit in the Democratic party. It is récalled that-when some of the - @ramshop men got “balky’’ and threat- ened to kick the. traces.and vote the Republican s. straight an order went out Boe the Excise Commisston- ering all saloons closed hours of 1 a. m. and 7 ay sdeere rebelled, but only while.

Henry Frisch, aged 65 years, for 22 years a familiar figure In-South St. Louis, Where he was known as “the egg man,’ because he drove from hou:ze tovhouse selling pou'gy and dalry prod- ucts, was delirious for five weeks after being thrown from his wagon in a co}- lision. with Festus J.

A postinortem examination Sunday Showed that his fall from his wagon WYyen it was struck by the automudile at Twentieth and Locust streets Novy. 2, resulted in concussion, contusion and displacetinent of the brain, and that either injury would have been sufficient to cause death. Wiliam ‘Trombley, chauffeur, was re- leacead by the poiice after the accident, but he has beén summoned as 2 witness at the inquest which is set for Monday. Hierman Schwartz, son-in-law of Frisca, says that the case is being in- vestigated by Judge Leo Rassieur, whose rephew, William Rassleur, is the husband of one of Frisch's daughters. Occupants Hurried Away. “There was a woman and a iititle boy in the automobile at. the time of the accident,”” he said. ‘“‘While my father- in-law was lying unconscious in the streci they hurried over to Olive street andi took a car going west. We have not, been able to find out who they were.’”’ I'risch was taken to a private hospi- **.l atter the accident, but was removed to his home the next day. For a week then he became delirious.

Mrs. Schwartz says that two private hospitals refused to receive him as a patient because of his delirium. ‘‘l am sure that he died last Wednes- day afternoon,’ she said. ‘‘That is, he was practically dead, but in our grief we made so much nolse that we aroused ! him. I huve always heard that in casps ; where persons are brought back to con- sciousness in: that way they linger «in agony from three to eight days. ‘This was true in my father’s case.

Sneathen, whom Hep- burn had taken in as a stranger to his heme,. will today file a motion that he ce released from the payment of §10 a week alimony and given the two chil- dren awarded to the wife by the court. He asks that the children, Willard Lighton Hepburn, 11 years old, and Willan: Ldcyd Hepburn, 4, be taken from tne custody of their mother and her present husbund, who live at 4434 Euston avenue, and given to him. Hepburn, in his motion, says that Since his wife obtained her divorce by default he has learned several tacts, which, he holds, should cause’ a modification of the decree. Compact for Divorces. He alleges that his wife and Sneath- en entered into an agreement by which each of them was to obtain a divurce, after which they would marry. Folow- ing this agreement, he says, Mrs. Hep- burn filed suit Aug. 29, 19H. Sneathen filed suit against his wife May 9, 19.5, and obtained a decree by default Nov. 20, 1956. Mra. Hepburn and Sneathen were married 10 days later. Hepburn says that he paid his wife 210 a month, as ordered by the court. until she becaine Mrs. Sneathen. He now asks that he be freed from this re- quirement. Under the terms of the decree he is permitted to se@ee the children twice a week, but he says that since Sneathen became their stepfather he cannot visit them without being insulted and plac- ing himself in danger of being injured. He alleges that since her marriage to Sneathen his former wife has attempt- ed to poison the minds of his children against him. Accompanying the motion is an order commanding Mrs. Sneathen to bring into court a letter written to her by Eneathen April 11, 19064. This letter, ac- cording. to the motion, will show that Mrs. Hepburn and Sneéathen regarded themselves as an engaged couple before Mrs. Hepburn obtained her divorce. Gave Him Jeb and Aid. Hepburn, who is manager of the work room in a large department store, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday: “I first met Sneathen at St. Lauis City Mission in August, 1903. I was one of the workers of the Mission, ang Sneath- en attended the meetings. He arose in the. meeting and told of his st; "uggies and reverses and I took a liking to him. I gave him work in my department. He seemed grateful and willing to wurk, and I used all my efforts to help him. “One Sunday [ took him home with ‘me to dinner. He was 3. good talker, and he told of his experiences in a way which seemed to fascinate my wife. She took an interest in him from the first, but I did not think anything of that until after he had been to the house half a dozen times at my invita- tion. In March, 194, I told him that his |, friendship for my wife was distasteful 'to me. He was discharged about the same time."

i WAGES NEGROES T0 DEMAND EQUALITY

Rev. G. E. Stevens Pleads for| Co-Education of the Races. Rev. George E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets, one of the largest negro churches in St. Louis, pleaded for political religious and social equal- itv for his race, and for co-educaton of races at a meeting held in his church Sunday night to celebrate the one- hundredth anniverSary of the birth of Wiliam Lloyd Garrison. nev. Mr. Stevens provested against tne advice that negroes should be diplomatic in their utteramces in order to avoid stirring up antagonism and said: ‘The time when all the odious, wicked and discriminating laws at the South should be abolished is now. The time when every Jim Crow car should be sid-- tracked and burned is now. The time when the ballot should be guaranteed to every citizen on equal terms regard- less of race or creed is now. “The time for every negro to stop saving he does not want social equality with every other human being when ther: is mutual willingness is now. Any human being that says he does not want social equality with everv other human either a knave or an imbecile. “The time for black men to claim and expect every right and consideration which every other man claims and should exnect, is now.’ Church Incident Recalled, He referred to the recent effort of Union Memorial M. E. Church, a col- ored congregation, to buy Central Pres- byterian Church building at Lucas und Garrison avenues, opposite Union M. E, Church, and said; “What a spectacle that was not long since when a leading white congregatian pecame nystericaity Opposed to a coloreu congregation of the same denomination purchasing .@ church opposite them. There is no fellowship between colored and white Christians, yet they profess to be purchased by the same blood and serving the same Christ and going to the same heaven. Such a spectacle grieves the Holy Spirit, wounds: our Suvior, and makes the world believe our religion a spurious article.” ‘Then he urged co-education races, saying: ‘It is a conviction with me that sep- aration in education is largely respon- sible for the misunderstanding and es- trangement between the racea. In train- ing the future citizen of the republic everything should be done to make them homogeneous.

Since the bridge was built, 13 years ago, Illinois has assessed the structure at $140,000. Missouri has assessed 2% miles of track and the west end of the bridge at a value of $454,000. Bond Proceeds in Reserve, With a surveyor, Attorney Gillham recently went to West Alton and meas- ured from the town eastward 2% miles toward Alton. When that distance had been covered it was found that they fell short of the Missouri end of the bridge by 407 feet. The 928 feet of the bridge taxed in Illinois reaches and includes part of the draw span which is 450 feet long. Next to it and toward the Missouri side is the raft span, 360 feet long, and six other spans each 210 feet long, making the total length 3000 feet. ““Poor’s Manual, which js a recognized authority {nm such matters values the Alton Bridge at $3,400,000"” said State's Attorney Gillhan. “I believe that one half should be taxed by Illinois, and I asked that this be done. My investiga- tion indicates that the entire bridge and bridge property in two states is as- sessed at only $594,000, though the bridge corporation recently issued $2,500,000 in bonds on which interest at the rate of 4 per cent is being paid. “The proceeds of the sale of these bonds to the amount of $1,590,000 is re- tained by the bridge company as a re- serve. It would be interesting to know why that is done and to what use the money is to be put.”’ BERNHARDT SAYS ALL A MISTAKE Canadian Egg-Throwing Ex- perience Due to Sermon Against Other Plays. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Speaking of the protests made against her plays during her Canadian tour, Sarah Bern- hardt, who arrived here yesterday, said: “It amounted to nothing. It was all a misunderstanding. There is a theater in Quebec which has been producing 4 series of degenerate plays. The Arch- bishop asked that a sermon be preached against these plays. ‘his was done and some foolish people thought that he meant my plays. The interview pub- lished was incorrect. They asked me what I thought about Canada, and d admired thelr progress agriculturally. I asked them if they could show such progress in Hterature and art, Saying that I had not heard of it. They forget that it was a question I was asking, and made me say that Canada has no art, which is not what I meant. Mime. Bernhardt declared that the scene outside of the theater was not @ serious demonstration. She looked upon it rather as the prank of some college youths.

We can get a better and more liberal run for our money in Chi- e120. where we will be handled more gently by both the public and the press. “Plays ought to run as long in Chica- go as in New York.

BiG AMERICAN FACTORIES EXILED Present Laws Drive 182 to Canada, Uncle Sam Los- ing $50,000,000. CHICAGO, Dec. 11=Some alarming conditions which are rapidly drawing large manufacturing interests from the United States to Canada are to be considered within a few days by the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. Reports just gathered show that 132 of the leading concerns of the country have been obliged, chiefly on account of tariff restrictions, to establish branch plants in Canada. Fifteen of these in- dustries have headquarters in Chicago. The resulting loss financially ts esti- mated at upward of $50,000,000, of which amount Chicago statistics to have suffered a large pro- ftion. OThe agitation which the Tilinois man- ufacturers are about to start is expect- ed to assume the form. shortly of & national appeal to Congress. The remedy mostly in favor locally and throughout the country provides for reciprocity legis'ation which will permit of the freer exchange of American and Canadian manufactured products. It is likely that Congress will be asked during the present session to take some steps in this direction.

SPURNS $75,000 FOR A HUSBAND Mrs, Kernochan to Marry Eng- lishman at Cost of Annuity.

PROTEGE OF COLLIER

Prospective Bridegroom Worked at Club for $125 Per Month. Special to the Pest. Dispateh. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Mrs. James L. Kernochan values the love of John H. rn Forster higher than she does the $75,0. a year spending money her august mother-in-law allows her, and will mar- ry Forster. The social colony around Hempstead, L. L., which numbers many of the lead- ers of fashion both here and at New- port, finds a rich morsel for gossip in the engagement of Mrs. Kernochan to d. ¥. Warster, the young Englishman who came to this country a year age as the friend and protege of Peter IF. Collier. There has been no end of qu .b- bling about the alliance, chiefly because Mrs. Kernochan’s mother-in-law has several times denied that the engage- ment existed. But on that point there no longer any room for doubt. It is young Mrs. Kernochan herself who announces the efile engagement. The secret was disclosed) at a dinner at Hempstead. bout twenty of the intimate friends of Mrs. Kernochan and Mr. Forster were there and they were warmly congratulated The friends of the elder Mrs. Ker- nochan do not pretend to deny that she is opposed to the marriage of her daughter-in-law and the rooms Sapte man. Mrs. Kernochan has en out- spoken about the formally announced engagement. She nas denicd it with considerable emphasis. To one of her friends she said that she knew there was no betrothal of the puir, and ex- pressed herself as very giad that Mr. Fourster was due to return to England early next month. The prime question raised by this dis- pute as to the engagement concerns the $75,000 annuity which young Mrs. Ker- nochan has enjoyed at the hands of her mother-in-law ever since the death of her husband. There are those in the Hempstead colony who say that if Mrs. Kerncochan persists in her choice of a second husband the annvity will be fur- feited. Still others are of the onvinion that In the end her generous relative will be reconciled to the marriage~and that the annuity will not be cut off. Was Club Employe. Until very recently Mr. Forster was an employe of the Meadow Brook Club one of the most jretentious hunting or- ganizations iu the country. To be a member is & guarantee to all inner so- ciai circles of society. But Mr. Forster did net enjoy the full status of mem- bership; his sponsor, Mr. Collier, had the place of “huntsman” created for his special benefit. The young English- man received a salary of $125 a month and certain club perquisites. He had ful) charge of the Meadow Brook Club’s English pack of hounds, The Forsters live in Leicestershire, England, and it wis there Mr. Collier met the young man. Part of young Mrs. Kernochan’s herit- age from her husband is the Meadows. ona cof the finest country estates on Long isiand. It is estimated to be worth no less than $150,000. It was said there today that the date of the wedding had net yet been fixed, but that*it would probally take place in the spring or early summer. Ty venly to a note that was sent to Mrs. John H. Kernochan, she returned word thut she knew nothing about the er.gagement of her daughter-in-law, and had nothing to say concerning it.

DETECTIVES RACE TO NAB SWINDLER Bogus Rent Collector Caught by Aleuth Who Used Fire Chief’s Buggy.

PASSES RIVALS IN CAR

“I'm It,” Says Captive, “but I Didn’t Expect Fire De- partment.” One of the best eaptures of the year by the East St. Louis police was made Monday morning in the arrest of a bogus rent collector who has been work- ing successfully in St. Louis, East 8t. Louis and Belleville for three months. Detective Tony Stocker caught the man in an original manner. He gave his name @~s Roy L. Walter, but admitted ‘tl was a false one. Nine detectives were in the East St. LOuls Police Station shortly before noon reporting for duty when a telephone message came that the bogus rent col- ector was out at 2731 Summit avenue. Eight of the sleuths dove for the door and did a 100-yard sprint for the street car. The ninth, Tony Stocker, let the other get out ahead of him and then into the fire engine house next door. Inside of two minutes he and Fire Chief Dowling, in the “Chief's buggy, were tearing after the vanishing street car, with the the eight detectives on the platform. Horse Outruns Car. The Chief's buggy soon passed the car and the eight detectives groaned ag they caught a glimpse of Stocker. At Twenty-third and State streets, Stocker saw a man who fitted the de- scriptions of the bogus collector. He jumped out of the buggy and ran up to the man, showing his star. ‘“‘I guess you're the man I want,” he The man, who was very well dressed and, had a pleasant face, threw up h.s . hands. “It’s me, all right,"’ he said, “but why in the name of thundred did you come in the Fire Department's wagon. If you had come in the hoodlum wagon I would have got away. But to be arrerst- ed by the Fire Department. Well, that beats. ——!”’ At the station Stocker gave his age as 50. He said he didn’t want to give his right name because he was formerly in real estates partnership with Gov. Herrick in Ohio. He admitted being a bogus rent co’- lector. He said that the largest sum he had succeeded in getting in St. vis East St. Louis or Belleville, was $1 t one place. Big Four Change of Time Dec. 10.

Though she admitted stealing $800 from tne veteran fireman, who retired some years ago, and is now living on a competency, the Ofiense was reduced by Judge Withrow to petty larceny in con- sideration of the woman's piea. She was represented in-the court proceed- ings by. Walter Kelly, the blind law- yer. Hester was in court ready to appear against the woman, though at the time of the robbery he made no complaint. He met the woman two months ago in a wineroom cn Franklin avenue, and they had several drinks. After they had separated Hester dis- covered that $800 he had been carrying was missing. He said nothing about the loss at the time, and declares now that he never would have ‘“‘squealed.”’ The Nelson woman took the $8 to the home of a Mrs. Levy. at Lucas and Compton avenues, and hid it under the carpet. When she wanted the money two weeks later Mrs. Levy gave her $50, but kept $150, saying that was her pay for caring for the roll. The Nelson woman went to Police Captain Gaffney and complained. “Where did you asked the Captain. ‘‘Mike Hester gave it to me.”’ “What? Mike Hester the fireman?” ‘“T don’t know whether he is a fire- man or not. I never saw him but once.”’ “Never saw him but once, and he gave you $800?

Miss Hendry says it stuck in her hair and her friends had to soak her locks in turpentine for hours to save them. Her spitz dog which she had in her arms when the paint came, also re- ceived a coat. The photograph of the scene is to bé introduced in court to prove that per- sons in Miss Hendry’s home could not have seen the fight.

Miss Hendry wus formerly or- ganist in Rock Hill Presbyterian Church and has many supporters among the congregation. Her sister, Miss Lulu Hendry, and the defendant’s younger sister, Miss Matilda Drummond, will testify. ° Open Until 10 O'Clock Tonight. Stert now.

Tells Cardinals, However, Pres- ent Conditions Not Consoling.

ROME, Dec. 11.~The Pope today held» a secret consistory, the second of his pontificate, in which he created new cardinals and apparently showed'a tend- ency to have a better equilibrium be- tween the foreign and Italian elements in the sacred college, as three of the four new cardinals are foreigners. The ceermony was. performed with the usual pomp. Nearly thirty cardinais were present. The pontiff appeared walking, preceded, surrounded and fol- jowed by the gorgeous pontifical court. ‘Shen all withdrew except the members of the sacred college and the Pope read iis allocution. In it he said he wished i.e could give the Cardinais pleasant and consoling news, but the conditions at ihe present time do not permit consola- tion, Although, he continued, the Cath- ulic faith is spredding more and more inroughout the world, especiaily in dis- +ident. countries, on. turning toward *atholic nations’ one feels sadness and . gar lest the prediction of the scriptures is being verified, that the .kingdom of the Lord will be removed to other peo- ple, where it will produce good fruit. Especial. care and anxiety may be felt ‘or the country ~heretofore called the «!dest daughter of the church, but con- ‘erning anti-Catholic laws passed there > rainst the laws Of justice, the Pope : (ld he would’ in accordance with ‘lig apostolic office, more gravely and. ore fully at an. opportune time.

Indictments Found Against Son, Daughter-in-Law and Creditor,

Special to the Post-Dispatch. Mount Carmel, Ill., Dec. 11.—In three Indictments just found the grand jury here presents a solution of a mysterious assassination which has for over two years been the subject of conjecture in the vicinity of Gard’s Point, nine mles norlihieast of here. A Chicago Sterlock Holmes, called tn- to» the case by State’s Attorney P. J, Kolb and Sheriff Barry, dug out the evi- dence on which the grand jury’s in- dictsnents werc baSed. The indiciments are against William Laur, Alice Lacer, his wife, and Au- gust Nelgen. The murder was peculiar in its de- liberation. On Sunday night, Dec. 29,

/

1903, Mrs. Elizabeth Lacer, mother of William Lacer, was shot and killed at her home, near Gard’s Point, a few ; minutes after 6 o'clock. She was sitting at the table eating supper. .The-only person in the house | with her was Mrs. Catharine Schrodt, | her sister, aged 74 years, since deceased. Mrs. Lacer'’s daughter, Mrs. Laura Reinsmith, -had left for a country church a few minutes before. The shot. was fired through the win- Gow and struck the old. lady.in the head. She fell back in her chair and Gjied instantly. Mrs. Schrodt heard the rattle of a shutter, saw the flash of a gun, heard the crash of glass, and in a second saw that her sister had been shot, and rushed out and gave the alarm. After some investigation the son, Wil- liam Lacer, was arrested, but the grand jury failed to find a true bill him‘and he was released. At that time the neighbors were all with Lacer and believed him innocent, but they have now turned and it is sald have furnished enough evidence to convict. The bullet recovered by the autopsy froin the old lady's head was of a pe- culiar make. A mould that would cast just such a bullet was found in WIiIIl- liam: Lacer’s home. Lacer'’s rifle showed signs of having recently been discharged when the officers found it. Lacer as- serted he had shot at a rabbit that day. This evidence was confirmed by the Chicago detective. What aditional evi- dence he gleaned he, the grand jury and the Prosecuting Attorney alone know. Residents in the vicinity are conjec- turing as to how the crime was com- ; mitted, but the authorities are not tell- received the name of “China’’ from the: inmates, and others which were called ‘Japan.’ These cells were under the basement of the building, and the only ventilation came from a little 8x19. win- dow at one end. Rats and mice made them a terror to the girls. Jennie Beward, a former inmate, told of being dragged upstairs by ‘the hair by ‘Miss Rhoades when, on one occa- sion, she refused to obey her. She also testified that she had been under the care of a physician as a result of in- juries received by being knocked down- stairs by Miss Rhoades. Relating other incidents that had come under her. observation, she said she saw one girl forced to stand tn the hall till she fainted. The head of an- other was bumped against the wall by Miss Rhoades. Another was tied several hours to fron bars in an aitic window, and another was struck in the face by Miss Rhoades. Josephine Stafford declared that on one occasion Miss Rhoades seized her by the hair and jerked her to the floor. She said she was confined in “Japan’”’

for 11 days, and had nothing to eat but bread. There were rats and mice in the cel] -at times and she was badly fright- ened. Mrs. Charles Coffin, for several years one -of the board of trustees, said that she had seen inmates of the. school chloroformed in order to keep them from screaming, and had ordered the | practice stopped. Miss Flora Kerr, an officer of the in- from 1901 to 196, told of a little girl whom Miss Rhoades had on the floor, her Knees on the child's back. She was twisting one arm and ordered Miss Kerr to twist the other. The wit- ness said that Miss Rnoades' ordered her to twist the arm harder, but she was afraid to do so, as she might dis- locate it.

Several days ago the town marshal lost the key to: the calaboose, which consists of a big cage in the City Hall. | As violations of the law in Brighton are rare and sporadic, no great haste was made to obtain a successor to the miss- ing key.

For instance, I hear that the Neldringhaus Mission gives out ham #andwiches to poor children on Friday night.

Vhe enthusiasm with which the residents of the different parts of the city, where the Christnias fes- tivals of the poor children will be held this year, have taken hold of the work is an earnest of its success, The supporters of this great Christmas event hit the lives of those who would otherwise be, with- out good cheer on the day of gift-making and re- joicing, may rest assured that the forced abandon- ment of the Coliseum will not deprive the desti- atute of one whit of their enjoyment. On the con- trary, if will bring the festival nearer to them by a (division of the guests and will make it easier for iheir hosts to see that none is missed and that all are treated to a full share of the good cheer. The executive committee of the festival are plan- ‘ning to keep the guarantee that every man, woman and child not otherwise provided for will have a pleasant Christmas. Everyone in St. Louis will en- joy a Christmas dinner. Every destitute family will have a plentiful basket sent to their homes and the children will have a festival, with presents and good things to eat on Christmas afternoon. Christmas boxes will be given to each one. four halls have been selected: Military Hall at Twelfth and North Market, the Niedringhaus Mis- sion at Seventh and Cass, Concordis. Hall at Thir- teenth and Arsenal and Germania Hall in Carondelet. Three more will probably be needed, and as soon as they shall be selected will be announced. All will be conveniently located near districts where the poor “children live. The business organizazions of North, South and West St. Louis and of Carondelet have ully offered to co-operate with the Post-Dis- and the general Executive Committee in mak- ing the festival a success. Joke people of St. Louis have generously support- ‘e& this great act of hospitality which the Post-Dis- ‘patch has undertaken every year. Again we ask thgiz support and co-operation, confident that the appeal will be answered with overflowing liberality.

Hhe- committee will proceed with its plans in the |, assurance Of popular support. The Christmas season of every person, young or old, who is blessed with the means of enjoyment will be made the happier by the knowledge that none will be without good cheer and that he’or she has helped to give joy to the joyléss on the day devoted to good will and kindli- ness, of giving to those who have not.

} CANCELLATION. : ip uestion of how to get rid of what is un- “pledgant in the past is more or less interesting for everyone. fat in the past which is filled with all that a pleasant, there may be something we would like to cancel out in working to “get the answer.’ Perhaps no man ever tried more idthieanbieady + to find an unfailing rule for success in this process than the late Senator John Hipple Mitchell of Ore- gon, Bérn John Hipple of Pennsylvania, he seemed to have cancelled everything which stood between him and-the highest success in his new home on the Pacific Coast. ‘Ag became a millionaire. He forced his way into the” Dnited States Senate. He united his family wither one of the oldest houses of the French Bour- bon nobility and became the father-in-law of the Duke de la Rochefoucauld, ~ Then the “answer” worked itself out, in spite ofs wil his power of intellect, put into the process of cellation. It came in a final tragedy, so for- mfifidble that his death in disgrace can excite no othey feeling than that of the deepest pity. Perhaps “the ancients” were measurably right whew they concluded that cancellation by this process is not only always a failure, but always a > Lah — ae

>» - A WOMAN'S REMEDY. ets a woman discovered and applied the remedy “divorce evil’? ded reception given in honor of Mrs. Charles M. wab, that lady said to him, in a voice which. it gi,'“rang through the room”: “If you do this, my: oan will be forever closed to you and ° i a - yy Te why. shouldn't jit be effective? . Bit¥aciom for the off‘nding party would place him, “or her, , im _ a “most uncomfortable predicament.

But even they might be embarrassed by the cut direct from, say the President’s wife, or even from a woman like Mrs, Schwab, simple, frank, natural and brave. The most sophisticated see“fu- thority in the eye of honest wisdom—and shrink be- fore it. Mrs. Schwab’s remedy is respectfully commended to all bishops, priests and deacons who seek to cure the mischief by applying the censures of the church. Such remedies are applicable only within the de- nomination itself and, unfortunately, the chief sin- ner does not heed the thunder of the church. But, saint or sinner, he, or she, cannot escape the social censures. Not all of us desire to get into this or that church. But we all want to get into society and stav in it. Not one of us can endure the loss of friendship and respect.

The Christmas number of the Sunday Post-Dis- patch was the index and the .proof of the hign- water mark reached by St. Louis business and st, Louis journalism this year. It was a “corker.” == * =~ =. THE GREATEST YEAR FOR ST. LOUIS The Christmas number of the Post-Dispatcn was the climax of what has been a phenomenal year for St. Louis. It has shown ar the greatest year in the history of the Post-Dispatch,.-as a newspaper and as an ad- vertising medium.

patch was accompanied by unprecedenjed growth in the business of the city is demonstrated fully by St. Louis’ progress during the first twelve-month follow- mg the closing of the World’s Fair gates Dec. 1, 1904. The review of this twelve-month, published in the Christmas Post-Dispatch, showed a real estate busi- ness of $74,639,070 in transfers for 1905, a net gain of $32,349,820 over the business of $42,289,250 done in the corresponding months of 1904. The same re- markable growth appears in the general business of the city. | It"has been the greatest business year in the his- tory of St. Louis. But 1906 will be a greater, as the city and the Post-Dispatch press forward together to make good the motto “First in everything.” PUBLICITY AND REFORM. Jefferson’s belief that the newspaper press was the best promoter and protector of free institutions is abundantly confirmed by the debacle of graft. Had the work of reform depended entirely upon the zeal and intelligence of legislatures, courts and prosecuting officers, does any one imagine that the world-wide uprising against privilege, vested wrong, graft and all other forms of ignoble inhumanity and selfishness would have been witnessed by this gener- ation? An insurance president steals a million in New York today and the fact is known in Melbourne to- morrow. A Jew is murdered in Odessa on Monday and a protest goes out from America on Tuesday. How can wrong survive such conditions? » The truth is that we all live in glass houses and must behave ourselves. The respectable man must be really respectable. If he is not he is sure to be found eut and the next “extra” will tell the tale. Law officers are only executives of public opin- ion. But in the twentieth century public opimion begins to act directly upon the individual through publicity. Just now it stimulates legislatures, courts and prosecutors to do their duty. But, its best service is to prevent wrongdoing. - The fear of publicity is the beginning of safety. And only the insane criminal needs to’ go beyond the beginning to learn that the way of the transgressor is hard.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is to begin the new year by abolishing all free transportation over its lines. This will hit a great number of statesmen as well as ordinary persons.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE IS IT REALLY SO BAD? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A working girl writes the Post-Dispatch on Dec. 7 that the young meh have not principle or honesty enough to marry. Whose fault is it? A close observer of the divorce courts could tell her the reason why young men won’t marry. There are plenty of nice girls, no doubt, but what chance has a young man to find one; all the good ones seem to be married or hidden. When a man marries he wants a homemaker whom he can trust and who will be at home when he gets home from work. As far as my observation goes, he would have to marry several girls before he got-a companion. One experience is all I care about in that line. Other men see these things and resolve to steer clear of matrimony. Of course, no reasonable’ per- gon will blame working girls for. working or for try- ing to look ag nice as possible. J. H. STANDS UP FOR THE WORKING GIRL. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. No true gentleman will ig 3 is standing. A working girl is as tired in the even- ing as is the working man. Therefore, man being the sturdier, he should give up his seat. No “competent man” need work for $1.50 per day, if he is competent. to do-something. A man of ability can earn at least $60 or $70 per month. Mrs. Priesmeyer and the English tee es ad are on the wrong side of the road road. DON’T WANT SELPH. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I “‘strenuously’’ object to Col. Colin Selph sitting in the Twelfth Congressional Committee as proxy from the Twenty-second Ward. Mr. Selph lives in the Twenty-fifth Ward, not in the Twenty-second. If Jimmy Farley, the Twenty-second Ward gommittee- man, cannot find time to attend the meetings of the cominittee; although held in the same block in which he resides, he ought to resign. There are statesmen enough in the ward to fill his place. There is no necessity of going into the Twenty-fifth -Ward for statesmen to fill places in the Twenty-second Ward. I object to Col. Selph sitting in the committee for another reason, He is a receptive candidate for Con- gress. Meeting with the Congressional Committee of the district gives him an advantage over Senator Tom Kinney and Congressman Wood, the other can. didates. TWENTY-SECOND WARD DEMOCRAT. A WORD FOR THE [HE WORKING GIRL. To the Exitcr of the Post-Dispatch. No fair-minded man would talk as the English bookkeeper does. He thinks that because a woman ‘goes into the world to make a living, she should not be es duly respected as the atay- -at-home sister. I

IN ANTARTIC. Wrom ‘‘the Voyage of the Discovery” by Capt. Robert F. Scott, R. N. There are no land mammals, properly #0 called, within the Antarctic Circle. There are no South Polar bears; therey a@re no Antarctic foxes; there are no large mammals of any sort or kind save whales, which live entirely in the water. and seals, which spend more than halt their time there. | Geology has not disclosed to us any lost Antarctic mammalian fauna, ai- though it has suggested to us the pos- Sibility that at one time there was a climate, and perhaps a vegetation, that might have suited it. There are deep and difficult questions upon which it @ppears right to hold whatever theory best suits our immediate requirements. @s to the various connections and com- munications, whether of land or ice, » which have or have not existed between ai] or any of the Southern Hemisphere land masses and the Antarctic conti- ment. There is very probability that in-some bygone age the Antarctic land mass acted as a bridge between some of the southern continents, but what- ever it may have done of service in the distribution of types for them, it has ap- parentiy done little or nothing for it- self. Separated now by some hundreds of miles of very stormy ocean from the mearesit habitable lands, with current of wind and water ail setting in pre- cisely the wrong direction, it maintains an almost perfect barrenness. The Antarctic continent now boasts of a vegetation which includes a few low forms of moss and lichen, and a terrestrial fauna which consists of one minute and primitive form of wingless insect. Of the whales and seals and birds, the last-natnmed alone have any pretension at all to a terrestrial habit of life, in that they use the moraines and rocky cliffs of the continental stores as nesting sites. But they are al! pelagic gea birds. | Yet in this exceedingly unpromising land of barren rock and ice there are forms of life which are to be met with nowhere else, and in this very fact lies the interest that attaches to a study of the Antarctic fauna.

MADAME YALE’S ALMOND BLOSSOM * COMPLEXION CREAM : Greatest Toilet Luxure Maed whitens and j} ciate his artistry. HE several things in which Miss Florence Roberts {s remindful of Mrs. Fiske constitute a startling resemblance. In feature and figure, in quiet power, in psychic suggestion, in temperament. and, most of all, in voice, this new-comer from the far West !s as much like the East’s famous psy- chological actress as the Dromio of Enhesus was like himn of Syracuse. This is not altogether fair to Miss Roberts, who has no need for the re- flex of another's fame. She is capable of making her own; but it were as impossible not to mention it as it would be tmpossible not to notice it, for it is the remarkable feature of the engag«ment which opened last night at the Century Theater. If one had gone there and had seen the performance of “Ann Lamont,” with the light softened just enough to extend the illusion to the Roberts chin, which is not the Fiske chin, Ome could have gune through it all believing one’s self to have seen and heard the other woman. The first St. Louls appearance of Miss Roberts was of rather exceptional ‘mportance. A Western actress, well-known on the Pacific slope, but unknown except by reputation east of the pla'ns, she is essaying now her first tour of the Bast. It has been said that upon the nature of her reception here de- pends her future plans, at least in so far as they look to the East. If this 's true it is foolhardy, for the greatest likelihood inthe world is that 8t. Louis isn’t going to appreciate Miss Roberts. An art like hers only awakens irterest here when it is traditional. The skill of Miss Roberts isn’t in the least traditional. There are undoubtedly a considerable number of theater-goers here who are esoteric enough to see In her an exceptional actress of the sort that Ibsen had in mind sometimes when he drew women; but for anything more than a very limited appreciation Miss Roberts must acquire, in addition to her art, a vogue. It may be added that as long as she travels with the sun rising in her face she is going in the'right way to get ft. Her audience last night was not large, but of such are the players’ Para- dise. It had not long felt the quiet power of that wonderful voice before it began stirring with the warmth that radiates from good acting. After the first act Miss Roberts was given almost an ovation, and after the second act She did get one. Had she been a man the audience would have made her speak out of her play. There is a possibility that she has her Hmitations in some things; indeed, it would seem certain that there are no such besoms of tragedy in her as tradition demands; but in the deep-and-still-pool work that is often more effective than storm, she js superb. “Ann Lamont” is a four-act play by Paul Armstrong, who wrote ‘The Heir to the Hoorah.”’ Its interest never flags, but at that it is an unwieldly play, with too much and too many characters in it. The excellence with which it is done by some of the players and the transcendant Importance of its strength easily make one forget a good many crudities. The story is neither sweet nor succinct. Mr. Armstrong labored prodigiously with it, and he never did quite get it done. It is well produced by John Cort, a Western producer rew to us here, and the company is in some respects notable. Max Figman, infectiously clever and jolly, is the chief male character. Robert Mc- Wade, capable veteran; H. 8. Northrup, whose villain is always one of the best extant; Nora Lamison, Clifford Leigh dnd Lucille York are all capital members cf the troupe. ‘2 s Beauty and the Bishop. The good looks of Miss Drina De Wolfe are a very appealing factor in ‘“‘The Bishop,"’ which began a week’s engagement at the Garrick tast night. She’s new to St. Louis—and it won't be at all strange if she runs a beauty race with Miss Maxine Elliott before the week's end. | One thinks both of Viola Allen and of Julia Arthur in contemplating the handsomeness of Miss We Wolfe. She is somewhat of the fiery type of Miss Arthur, and, again, in softer mood, there’s an irresistible suggestion of the other. It’s a curious composite resemblance, and one is puzzliny over it all the time one studies her as the Duchess of Quenten in Mrs. Craigie’s comedy. Not that this means any neglect of Mr. William H. Thompson's work in the title role of the play. The audience last night thought so well of Mr. Thompson that it gave him nine curtain calls after the second act and com- pelled a speech in which he said that St. Louis’ critical verdict on a play was more dreaded than that of New York. Excellent character actor that he is, Mr.. Thompson makes a very clear-cut figure of the gentle, humorous and lovable old Bishop of Rance. It is a delicate creation, this of Mrs. Craizie’s, more as if it had been drawn to be smiled over in the library than subjected to the trying glare of the footlights. One trembles for the dramatic life of “The Bishop” because of this delicacy of treatment in creation. But Mr. Thompson doesn't tremble. He goes along with quiet confidence, putting his best work into every unobtrusive stroke of interpretation, finely sincere and tranqullly depending upon @n average play-going audience to appre- There isn’t a single. opportunity for him to score heavily in the customary way. Three curtains descend at moments when, with ob- vious refusal to be theatric, the piaywright has willed that the acts shall be naturally terminated. It is the most candid work of renunciation I have ever seen staged. And the star of the play acts his part In the same spirit. Evidently, Mrs. Craigie wrote “The Bishop” bravely along lines congenial to the literary, not the dramatic, soul. it Isn’t a play of action and situations. {t's a play of finely shaded speech and the semi-humorous study of character in repose. It's as peaceful as the remote French abbey in which it has its be- ginning. An ecclesiastical hush rests Upon it. Its story of young Francis Ifericourt’s renunciation of the religious life and his salvation for his logical sweetheart by his benevolently sly old uncle, the Bishop, is of almost clois- tered purity. Even his temptress, the willful Duchess of the beautiful Miss De Wolfe’s pluying, is the best of women, sybmissively kissing the Bishop’s ring when at last she ceases to bedevil the poor lad with her beauty. _ Miss De Wolfe gives excelent Support fo Mr. Thompson. The others of the ttle company in the cast are adequate, although there could be a more ingen- uously played Francis than that of Mr. yonn Ince, and the Barbara Arreton of Miss Fay Wallace is almost too juvenije to be convincing. But the spirit in which the play was written is maintainea with reasonuble faithfulness by the players as a body. I am keenly curious to see how such fare in the world dramatic.

Miss Maxine Elliott at the Olympic Tenigiht. Miss Maxine Eliiott begins a week's engagement at the Olympic this even- ing in “Her Great Match,"’ a comedy by Clyde Fitch. In this play she takes the part of an American girl moving in English society, and the Story finds iis plot in the complications arising from the love with which she insvires the prince royal of a little European kingdom. Miss Elliott is said to have an especially congenial role in this character, and !s supported by a good company. “Will o’ the Wisp’’ at the Odeon.

Mark Twain has taken up the cudgels against overspecding autoists, and in a characteristic letter in Harper's Week- ly he propuses 4 novel means of de- tecting and punishing them. The law, he says, “dresses a convict in a garb which makes him. eusily distinguishable from any moving thing in the world at 125 yatds, except a zebra. If he es- capes in those clothes he cannot get far.” He suggests that this principle te extended tw include “his brother erlminal, the overspeeder,” who every day. throughout America, ruts over somebody and escapes. At present, he poiats out, the automobile numbers are so email that ordinary eyes cannot read them, upon a swiftly receding ma- chine, at a. distance of 100 feet.

NCH TO HEART © OR HOOK TO JAW By One of These Most Com: mon Blows Terry McGovern Hopes to Beat Nelson. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Terry McGov- ern bases his hope of whipping Battling Nelson upon two blows. One is a heart jpunch, the other is a hook to the chin. | The chip en the chin usually brings a quicker finish, but once in a while the heart blow is just as sudden and ef- fective. | This will be a great battle between McGovern and Nelson on the 26th of January, if it comes eff according to schedule. It will be a slam-bang affair; oe a whole lot of mustard in the mix+ ng. : Nelson may not box cleverly, but he fights cleverly, and that is a much at ter thing to do. He goes right to t mark. He goes right at his man in a straight line, instead of indulging in a lot of faney sidesteps, feints, delays and quibbling footwork. He picks his mark, makes his openings, and then pops his fists out like a sharpshooter’s bullet, straight toe the bull’s eye, He can hit, too, but he can't hit like McGovern, in spite of his greater weight. Nelson said yesterday: “I can hit‘as hard as any man of my weight in the world. The reason why I have never knocked gut my man quickly is that I fight cau- tiously. I fight to win, but I take care a. to be Knocked out by a fluke my- self.”’ * I iink Nelson has the wrong end of the -.tgument. I have seen him fight and @ does not go at the affair cau- tiously at all. He is as incautious as McGovern because he has unlimited con- fidence in his own ability to take pun- ishment without weakening. He plunges all the time. He never holds back cautiously. He is a great blocker, but he is always more than willing to slug with anyone. The best proof that he is not a very hard hitter is that all of his fights have gone along nearly 20 rounds before he managed to get over the finishing punch. Nelson never knocks a man out until he has worn him by his plunging tactics. } Young Corbett told me that Nelson never hit him hard enough to hurt un- til he was so tired that he was ready to drop at a tap. “I wore myself out punching Nelsan,”’ said Corbett. “He was easy to hit and he kept coming. I always thought I could knoek out any man who would carry the fight to me, but this fellow ate punishment wo. He ran against the best I could send over until my arms were so tired punching away that J could hardly hold them up. Then he nailed me. It did not take a hard punch to put me down about that time.’ So, _when Terry meets Nelson the prob- lem will be whether Terry's terrible punch will be togo,much for Nelson's iron endurance or Nefson's fairly good punch be too much for Terry’s comparatively weak jaw. In the matter of defense, Nelson will have all the best of .it, for he covers himself so skilfully, while Terry has always been a wide-open fighter, caring | nothing at alj for blocking as long as he) ean force tha other fellow to swap) punches with him.

A, U. long. distance swimmer, last night broke the American record for 500 yards, made in a 22-yard tank at the ew York Ath- letic Club. He covered the distance in 6m 17 4-5s, four and one-fifth seconds be- low the previous figures. W. J.“Hardy of Chicago recently covered the distance in 6 minutes. 46 seconds in a 20-foot tank. It was Daniels’ intention pre- vious to the race to lower this mark, but the longer tank proved too much of 1. handicap. With long powerful! strokes Daniels left all competitors 10 yards in the rear at the 50-yard mark. He covered 440 yards in 5m 68 1-5s.

The conduct of the players on the field has shown some improvemeni, though Reed is still the pugnacio.s pepper box of aye. A hard, and in some ways Clever, player, @ man whose pluck cumpels admiration, makes himse:f so obnoxious by his bad temper that his ersunality is a menace io the welfare bf the game. Red is a good forward and the very tru:h of piluckiness, but he is such a trouble maker that he nul- i.fies his strength in playing depuri- ments. Referees should not for a mo- inent tolerate his conduct. When man- agers know that he may be at any mo- ment put out of the game they will not pe 80 eagér to play him. Reed's bad temper probably lost yes- terday’s gaime for his club. The Pro- fessionals had the All-Stars beaten to death when he was put out of the game. Hence, he was a handicap rather than in assistance to his team.
