HE HAD MARRIED AGAIN

Mrs, Brewer Was Surprised on Meeting Mrs. Leafgreen Later, She Says.

Brewer of 3512 Lawton avenue in Probate Court Friday gave evidence intended strongly to support the claim of Mrs, Mary Alameda Leaf- green to the $500,000 estate of the late Laclede J. Howard, firebrick magnate. The names of Detective Gratiot Cab- and Charles Braden were called but they did not re- Mrs. Louise I. anne on the witness list, spond. - Mrs. Brewer testified that she knew Charnes Howard and his wife in Tay- lorville, Ill., having been introduced to Howard by Charles Randall in 1880. She described him as being tall, broad- shouldered, of commanding presence, with dark, thin hair and a bald spot on the back of his Head. She said that shortly after she re- moved to St. Louis in 188 she met Howard on Broadway. Recognition was mutual and tuey stopped and talked. She said she asked him about his wife and he told her that he had heard that his wife had married again and had died in the West. She took it for granted that there hed been a divorce. PTotkc&ed “ | Him of Her. She sald that she saw Howard on the street again in 1889, and that about five years ago she met him and talked with him at Broadway and Olive street. She says that she again spoke to him of his wife and he told her he would rather not bave anything said about that. as he had married again and had a little girl. Te then told her that his right name was lL. J. Howard and that he was in the firebrick business. “Did he volunteer that statement?” asked George Johnson, attorney for the wit ee estate. He daid,’’ replied Mrs. Brewer. She said she had never spoken to Howard after that. She read of his death and of the filing of Mrs. Leaf- green’s suit. She said that she met Mrs. Leafgreen, whom she had thougtt dead, Sept. 15, 1904, in St. Louis. She remembered the date because it was St. Louis’ Day at the World's Fair. She met ‘Mrs. Leafgreen on a street ear and gave her her card, but did not say anything to her about having met Howard. She next met Mrs. Leafgreen about Christmas last vear and then told her all about her conversations with How- ard. At the close of the morning session there was a discussion as to whether depositions taken in behalf of the plaintiff at Taylorville, Tll., should be admitted in evidence. “JAPAN CLOSES CHINESE TREATY Lease of Liao ies Peninsula and Open Door Among the Provisions. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--Important details of the treaty between China and Jinan signed at Pekin today have reached the State Department by ca- ble. China consents to lease to Jap- an the Liao Tung Peninsula, at the southern extremity of which ia Port Arthur and Dalny. This territory for- merly was held by Russia under lease from China. China concedes to Japan the ton- trol of the rallway on the peninsula northward os far as Changchin. This is one of the spurs which connects with the Russian Siberlan Railway system, and the point named probably will mark the division between Rus- ‘sian and Ja’ an control. China also concedes to Japan the right to build a railway from Antung on the Yalu River to Mukden, the an- clent capital of Manchuria, probably along the line of the famous old mili- tary or caravan road. It its provided, however, that at the end of a certain period the road may be purchased by China, Most important of all of the provi- Sions of the treaty is an article whereby China agrees to open to the world’s commerce and trade 16 prin- c'pal ports and cities in Manchurla, including Harbin, the modern Rus- Sian capiial of the province, and its inost important railroad center, thus marking, in the o inion of the State Nepartment officiais, the final success of the long struggle by the States for the open door.

I) OVERRUL Supreme Court Holds Jockey Club Must Stand Trial on Charter, een me |e oe LAWFUL TO REVOKE IT we ~ eee eee ee Judge Burgess Declares Attor- ney-General’s Quo Warranto Suit Proper. The State Supreme Court at Jefferson City Friday overruled the demurrer filed by the Delmar Jockey Club in the custer proceedings instituted by Attor- ney-General Hadley to secure a revoca- tlon of the club’s charter on the ground that it permitted gambling at the Del- mar track tn violation of the new anti- poolselling law. The Court announced that the Del- mar Club would be given 15 days in which to file an answer to the Attor- ney-General's original petition. Fail- ure to do so will mean that the charter of the Delmar Jockey Club will be for- felted without further legal proceed- ings. L. P. Deming, a brewery employe, is president of the Delmar Jockey Club. A majority of the stock is owned by Louis A. Cella, C. A. Tilles and Sam Adler. The Court, In its opinion by Judge Burgess, holds that an act of incorpora- tion may be forfeited for misuse of pow- ers intrusted to it and that a corporation may be proceeded against by quo war- rr: HATO for mis ise of its frane hise. “The charter of the defendant,’’ says the opinion, “is a contract with the

State that it will use the franchises that it will not abuse or pervert other franchises and will not engage in unlawful business.’ Regarding the acceptance of bets by minors, the Court held it to be the duty of poolsellers to know that sales were not made to minors. The Jockey Club asked that the anti- bookmaking law be declared unconsti-

tutional, but on this the Court said: ‘This Court will not declare a law un- | constitutional] unless it be of the opinion | that it is so beyond a reasonable doubt, and it holds no such opinion in nt case. The only portion of the benmurees | sustained was that protesting against consideration of bookmaking during the time it was permitted by law. REBATE CASES IN COURT.

WAR OPER BRASS. KNUCKLES Four East St. Louis Pawnshop Keepers Arrested for Dis- playing Them.

AN OFFENSE IN ILLINOIS at ee ee Missouri, However, Has No Statute Against the Sale of Weapons. Four East St. Louis pawnbrokers, one a woman, were arrested Friday for dis- plying brass Knuckles and slingshots of the kind usually known as “‘billies’’ in their show windows. The Illinois statutes make it a miahe! mecanor to offer such articles for sale. Justice Wangelin of Belleville says that warrants will be issued for all the other pawnbrokers in St. Clair County who sell these deadly weapons in violation of the Jaw. Those arrested were W. Bouchis, George Hughes, F. 1, Marks and Mrs. F. I. Marks. Mrs. Marks runs a sepa- rate pawnshop from that operated by her husband. The open display of brass knuckles and slingshots in the Bast Side pawn- shops has caused a good deal of com- ment recently. Belleville authorities declared war on the pawnbrokers when it was learned that a man whw killed a saloonkeeper in Belleville several months ago tained the revolver at an Bast St. Louis pawnshop, and that no record of the gale had been kept, as the Illinois law requires.

Abbott & Co, at S31 Wa- bash avenue, that he was ready to go to Chicago at any time if he was want- ed to testify and would gladly tell all that he knew about the concern and its business. In explaining the trouble at the time of the raid, Mr. Abbott said to a Post- Dispatch reporter: “Some years ago a man named C,.

Had No Money in Basiness. “Y never invested a dollar tn the busi- ness, never received a dollar from it, never had anything to do with it and I knew nothing about it except in a gen- eral way that it was a book business.

But he demurred and as f had no reason to insist I let the matter resi. ‘Now I learn that cago has been raided, that Hughes and three of his associates haye been and tirat there sorts of trouble. I know nothing about these incidents except what I have read in the papers. I have heretofore had con- fidence in Mr. Hughes, but [ am now anxjously awaiting an explanation from him. If he is guilty of crookedness he need not expect further aid from me.” The raid in Chicago a month ago was made by Detective Sergts. Clifton Wool- dridge and Hughes, A. M. Reed and a man named Powers were arrested. The police said that the concern had quit ihe office in Chi- two or women’s apparel. Advertisements were inserted in papers all over the country for salesmen and saleswomen, who were offered $100 4 month and ex- penses to travel for the concern. Says 6250,000 Secured. Applicants for positions were asked for security of from $M to $500, according to the detectives, and when these de- posits were made no job was given and the deposits were not returned. The detectives claimed that about $250,000 had been obtained. It was also charged that the concern had branch offices itn other large cities, where they operated in the same manner. Mr. Hughes at the time declared that he was a victim of police persecution and blamed Detective Wooldridge. In the letter that the Chicago Chief of Police sent to Chief Purdy with the capias, he said that Mr. Abbott was in- dicted on complaint of A. L. Cunhing- ham and Thomas D.

SYSTEM GUESSIN Nearly Broke and Pre- paring to Assign. — STATE STREET PUZZLED -_ Following His Peculiar Tactics Makes Financiers Very Dizzy. Special t the Post Dispatch. BOSTON, Dec. 22.—Thomas W, Law- son has the world of finance, frenzied and otherwise, guessing. State street has a horrible case of nerves, and knows not whether the System’s arch cnemy is ready to make an assigninent whether’ he about to pull off «a coup of millions.. The System itself is wondering where he stands, and what will happen if he doesn’t soon-go back and sit down. The cause of it all is a statement Lawson issued vesterday, in Which he calmly warned the world that if cop- pers rose he would assign. A second statement intimated that a well-known Boston bank {fs in serious difficulties. State street got up on its toes and watched copper. When thetday passed without anything startling happening in Lawson's office, State street went to bed laughing at Lawson’s little joke or lauding his nervy bluff, according to the point of view. The telephone could not reach Lewson this morning, but at his office it was stated that he was still on earth finan- cially, and that there was no prospect of an assignment. Following is the tel- egram which Lawson fent to all Stock Exchange houses: “Monday coppers broke so hastily I helped bid up to get footing to sell on. Have got out my lines. System will undoubtedly break me. You have heard ’em say it: have heard their gang shoul. Watch sharp today, for as they tise I shall probably be compelled to assign. Watch them, but remember they don’t rise by way of cellar.’’

Stir Up Peasants to Acts of Violence Against Nobles and Landowners. —

news agency from St. Petersburg says it has been finally decided to grant the Russian people universal suffrage. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1905, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.~—Twen- ty-four railway cars were demolished and all the soldiers in them were killed or badly injured when rebels blew up a train with troops sent to quell the re- bellion in Livonia, near Stockmannskof, a railway station. The rebels also wrecked with dyna- mite one of two trains sent to give as- sistance. Gen. Andrinokoff and many soldiers were killed. Railway employes refuse to serve trains on which soldiers embark to sup- press revolt, mutiny or insurrection. The revolutionists are confident that by cutting off communication they can reduce all the troops in the military centery. They are stirring up the peas- ants and this will prevent the dispatch of even a single regiment to any of the disaffected districts. This plan has been met by the Czar with a ukase conferring autocratic pow- ers on all the local army commanders and the senior administrative authori- ties, who are entitled to proclaim mar- tial law at will. But the revolutionaries point out that martial law is of little value “without troops to enforce it. Czar’s Ludricous Manifesto.

WELCOMED I STUDENT HUT ‘Kindness Angers Brave Missov- ri Boy Whose Gotham Home Is a Hovel.

_ GENEROUS OFFER OF AID

Wealthy Real Estate Man Places Free Room and Board at His Disposal. SAYS PAPERS BUTTED IN

Publication of His Plight in Post-Dispatch Arouses Wide Interest. —

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—DeSpite his protests, A. L. Carter. the brave Mis- souril boy who is struggling through Co- lumbia University in this city, has been cajoled into considering a generous of- fer of aid from C. E. Anderson, a wealthy rea] estate man. Young Carter, who is 2% years old and @ graduate of the law department of Missouri State University, was found living in a stonecutter’s shed a few Paces from the Columbia — University Bullding Tuesday night by a reporter from the New York Bureau of the Post- Dispatch. His hovel home is situate in a stoneyard on 119th street, near Am- sterdam avenue, and is 9 feet long, 8 feet wide and 7 feet high. It is bullt of pine boards, which have lately been covered on the outside with tar paper ENR Se NR: TRY IT FOR DINNER A richly prepared dish of Spaghetti well cooked and well served fs one of the most attractive and appetizing of foods.

to protect the brave occupant from the flerce winds which sweep the rocks of Morningside Heights. Lives on Potatoes. In this wretched home the young stu- dent was found as happy as a lark. A shelf was his bed, a quilt his mattress, a law book his pillow. His frugal meals consisting chiefly of potato cakes, wer cooked on an oil stove. When youn: Carter Is flush, the oil stove is kep' burning to heat the hut. When he is not—the quilt. He refused financial aid from the reporter, saying that he pre- ferred to make his own way in the world, subsisting as best he could. The shed he obtained from a quarryman, who declined to charge rent for it. Young Carter is utterly outraged and diegusted. He believes the Post-Dis- patch Bureau and the New York World “‘butted in’’ without invitation, reason or rhyme and made of him a subject of charity. That youth's grit and good, rock-ribbed independence never had permitted him to accept alms of any man and he had not the slight- est thought of permitting anyone to think alms could be thrust upon him. Even now he may elect to remain in his tool box up among the breezes. In fact, Dr., Livingston, though less polite in his language, was not more amazed when Stanley rushed in and said: “You've been lost, man, and I have found you,” than was Carter. Living- stone knew where he was and how he got there, and it is Said he had no de- sire to be found. Carter was entirely happy and satisfied and he can't see why outsiders should. decide to make hin: comfortable. Boy Dreads Pity. The sleet and rain and wind of the last 36 hours has made Carter’s home (7) awfully dreary. Maybe the boy's bet- ter judgment will prevail and let him accept some few comforts. Up to this morning, however, he has been pos- sessed of an aimost insane dread of persons having pity for him. He knows he worked his way through the Univer- sity of Missouri without being behoiden to mortal man and he is entirely will- ing to continue struggling, free and in- dependent. In the words of another, it is almost delightful to see this boy in hard luck. He is an inspiration and a sermon all rolled up in one bundle. The substance of the New York telegram printed in | the Post-Dispatch on Monday was re- produced here in the World, together with a photograph of Carter's ‘‘castle. ’ (he article came to the attention of C. ~. Anderson, a rich real estate dealer of 64 West Sixty-cighth street, who wrote to the World offering the young student room and board in one of his bachelor apartments at 22 West Six- tieth street, free of charge. When found engrossed in his duties in the university library last night and the offer was made by a reporter, the young man hesitated, argued—and as a debater he has a Missouri record—but at last he promised to considér the offer. CARTER WAS STAR DEBATER OF M. §. U. Special io the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., Carter graduated in the law department

-_- TWA BY JOAN OF ARC Humorists Tell Artists They Give Her the Expression of a Horse. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Mark Twain Was the guest of honor at the month- ly dinner of the Society of Illustrators last night in the rooms of the Aldine Association. Andrew Carnegie occu- pied the place of honor at the right of Dan Beard, president of the s0- clety, as toastmaster. Other guests Were Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke, Al- Phonso Mucha, the poster artist; Dr. George R. Balleray, Thomas A. Jan- vier, Caspar Whitney, Albert Boyden, Frank A. Vanderltp, Rollo Ogden, Ar- thur Scribner, Arthur Brisbane, J. J. Shannon, Henry J. Wright and Harri- son §. Morris. When the toastmaster introduced Mark Twain the diners stood up and fave three cheers for the man who was dubbed their saint and philosoph- er. At this point Miss Helen, August- ine advanced in the personation of Joan d’Arc and presented a bay leaf wreath to the guest of honor. “Now, there,” said the veteran au- thor, “is an illustration—a pure and beautiful young woman. The conven- tional Joan d’Arc is an offense to all Who’know her history. The conven- tional face given to Joan 4@’Arc by the artist who paints her as a coarse peasant, has the fixed expression of a horse. You members of your gulld must get away from the convention- al.” Once when reviewing some of his familiar stories, Mr. Clemens halted for a name, and, admitting that he Was three score, he said: ‘Sometimes a fact of history gets away. and I could not tell whether it was Robés- plerre, John the Baptist or Beniamin Franklin that invented. the guillo- Line,”’ He played the whole gamut from fay to grave with a wealth of tnter- woven pathoa, and finally he said of the elements that made up the experi- ences of life: “The illusions are the only things that are vaiuable, and God help the man who reaches ‘the time when he meets only the realities.’ Plates, French China, 25c toe 825.00, For Xmas Gifts at JACCARDS JUDGE WOOD BURIED.

Not That of Harry G. McCar- thy, Who Is Alive in Los Angeles. The body taken from a medical college to William Ambruster’s undertaking rooms at 3317 Manchester avenue on the belief that it was that of Harry E. Mc- Carthy, a wealthy Pennsylvania_man has been positively identified as that ol Harry E. McNellis, a World's Fair wrecker who fell from a building and was killed Nov. 26, Communicating with relatives of Mc- Carthy at Sellin’s Grove, Pa., a Post- Dispatch reporter Friday learned that McCarthy is still alive and that he is now in Los Angeles, Cal. Patrolman Frank Dundon, who knew a i well, has positively identified im, The belief that the body held at the medical. college was that of McCarthy was due to the ‘fact that when the room of the dead wrecker, who was known at the Fair as Harry Mack, was searched a bank book showing $11,000 deposiis and bearing McCarthy’s name was foun among his effects. Bank Book . Another’s. This apparent convincing evidence was explained when relatives of c- Carthy said that while at the World's Fair he was robbed of a valise con- taining the bank book and a gold watch. The bank book was of no value to the thief and Mr. McCarthy obtained a duplicate of it on his return to his Pennsylvania home. McNellis, who is said to have been known to some as McDowell, was a gateman a the Fair period, at the end of which he obtained employment as a wrecker. He is said to be a member of a prom- inent Irish family.

That is, they can be relied on if they are called into play and made _ effective. In explanation of why they are not now having free play, members of the South Broadway Mer- chants and Manufacturers’ Association complain that the Million Club is so controlled by its Execu- tive Committee that no one else can “start any- thing.” The explanation is homely, but its homeliness may go far towards making clear exactly what is need. ed next.. As a sort of Grand Council representing selection and exclusion, controlled by the principles which control all “close corporations,’ the Million Club will necessarily make good order and dignity a first consideration. These are not the first considerations in “boom- ing” a town, however. If dignity is “the starch of a shroud,” as it has been called, it is never more so than when it is made the characteristic feature of a “boom.” ' We need conservatism and we need dignity, also, no doubt, but when it comes to forcing a city for- ward in the shortest possible time to its greatest results, we need first the opportunity to let loose its latent energies. The result will be the appearance of much con- fusion and there may be little dignity in it. But as we cannot have the extreme of dignity and the highest success in “booming the town” both operat- ing together, we will have finally to choose between ‘them.

-— A TWENTIETH CENTURY DEMAND. ~ William T. Kent, Dean of the College of Applied F Science of Syracuse University, w rites that dur- * ing the past year nearly every engineering college in the country had calls for “about twice as many a graduates as it could furnish.” - The statement is surprising,. but it is confirmed by Prof. Calvin M. Woodward, Dean of Washington 4 University and head of its School of Engineering wand Architecture. “We do not half meet the demand for graduates,” ” he says, “nor can I furnish graduates of the Man- - ual Training School rapidly enough to fill the places i for them.” ‘ There could scarcely be a more forcible jllustration 3 of the rapid development of the country than this. | “It is calling for educated brains for work that: is | poen4 “structural.” It wants not more theorists but more builders, more men who know not only how a to plan, but how to execute. The demand for mere overseers, “bosses,” gov- | to be admired as supereminently great is fully sup- plied, but when it comes to trained workers, who can put the best brain into building up a rapidly growing country, the demand is “not half supplied.” = = * The faith of those who have planned to make this year’s Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival the great- est and most helpful ever given has evidently not been misplaced. The amount needed is already in part contributed, and the necessary balance will doubtless be forthcoming. The contributions have been generous, and the most pleasant feature of this part of the work is the very large number of con- tributions of small amounts. This is as it should be, the idea of the Christmas Festival being to make it an act of hospitality shared in by all the people of St. Louis and all readers of the Post-Dis- patch who are able to accept the privilege of becoming the hosts of their less fortunate fellow cit- izens—the homeless, the women and the children— on Christmas Day. The intention of the committees in charge is to make this the banner year of the Festival, by furnishing a splendid entertainment, with toys, fruit, nuts and other gifts for the chil- dren at the seven halls, a bountiful Christmas feast to the homeless men at the Merchants’ Exchange, and basket dinners for every home where Christmas fare would otherwise be lacking. The fund to insure this must be large, and all who have not contrib- uted are invited to increase the joy of their Christ- mas by doing so. The time is short and the need must be met in full.

-~—_---_-__—- - © RESENTING INSULTS. Admiral Dewey says he is “not opposed to fair fighting when circumstances are such that it is the proper thing to resort to. We do not want in eur navy men who hesitate to resent an insult. But we do not want prizefights.” When is it the proper thing for a gentleman to be brutal? Admiral Dewey seems to imply that brutality is one of the elements cf gentlemanliness, which is true manliness. Again, how can a gentleman be insulted? If a gentleman insults another, does he not thereby be- come declassed? Does he not cease to be a gentle- man? And how can a gentleman resent the im- pudence of a man not in the class of gentlemen? All these official ideas about honor and being a gentleman are artificial. It is well enough to teach boxing for the exercise it gives and a man may find it handy as a means of defense against a ruffian un- til the police arrive. But to set up fighting as a test of manliness or gentlemanliness is to set brawn above brain and brute force above moral courage. .

At the Naval Academy boys are supposed to be taught to act like men. Do the officers of the navy, who are fine examples of manhood—do they insult one another, and resent insults with blows and fight like vulgar pugilists? aati nent ceraiienincnin eA ncahnrereittialignnictipdiicinsite Russians are rallying under a flag redder than the blood that has been needlessly shed by an incom- petent and corrupt Government. Ce EN ROMANCE AND EXTRA ADVERTISING Whether or not George Ade marries Miss Dorothy Tennant, as is reported to be his intention and con- curred in by the young woman named, “The College Widow” will profit. by the attention which Ameri- can newspapers are paying to the report. This is because Mr. Ade wrote the play known as “The College Widow” and because Miss Tennant is The College Widow of “The College Widow” com-

pany, which appeared at the Olympic Theater in this: city some time ago. It makes such a pretty ro- mance, don’t you know—the dramatist wooing and winning the actress who vitally created the leading female role in his most popular comedy. Miss Tennant “maintains a discreet silence” con- cerning the rumor. Mr. Ade refuses to “deny it with indignation.” So we've got to await develop- ments. In the meantime, “The College Widow” gets a lot of extra advertising. Is it irrelevant to re- mark that the art of the press agent is one. of the fine arts? The high tariff on all the by- -products of poor Mr. Rockefeller’s petroleum will not be touched by the mossback Congress.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcb. I have read with interest in the Post-Dispatch of the plans of the Gospel Restroom for friendleas wom- en and have contributed my mite thereto. But to go further I would suggest the erection of a municipal hotel of say 200 rooms, to be conducted at the actual cost “of maintenance, plus the interest on the in- vestment, where poor men and women could live in cleanliness and decency. In connection with this, could be maintained workrooms so that.any friend- less man or woman in want could go with self-respect and obtain room aud board for their services in whatever capacity they would be adapted, for until’ they had secured permanent employment.

Bobolink called at the nut corner, because besides the hazelnuts there was a big chest- nut tree and & walnut and three hickory trees, and way. down at the end of the orchard grew one lone butternut tree. It was the oldest tree of the lot and the largest. Its limbs were twisted and knotted into big snarls as though | it had rheumatism, like Marguerite, the cook.

heard. It banged the window blinds and waltzed in the chimney, and sent the last leaves swirling dizzily through the air. But the worst time it did was turning the old butternut topsy-turvy. There it lay, sprawled out full length on the ground, with its roots facing Babiola. And they were the strangest roots. The minute Toots saw them she fainted and looked cross-eyed. It was enough to make any one look cross-eyed. There weren't any rgots at all, reaily, not real rooty roots. There were only a great head of wooden limbs that stared at Babiola and scowled at Toots.

She knew right away it was the old butternut, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. “No, I didn’t. I tumbled up.”’ “Did the wind do it?” : “Don’t you know very well who did it?’ asked i "Aren't you one of them?” “Im not one of anything. I’m just my own self,” said Babiola earnestly. She came from behind the hazel bushes, and the tree gave a shake of relief when it saw her. - “You looked just like a troll with only the top of your. head showing. There were three around me just a minute ago. and they acted terribly. Tickied me under my roots and pulled my branches. and everything like that. It was the trolls who tumbled me up, too, I know it was. They’ve been try- ing to do it for years. There goes one now!” Babiola jumped. So did Toots. But there wasn’t anything in sight except a little gray squirrel running along the stone wall. “It's, just a squirrel,’’ said. Babioia. ‘“‘They won't hurt you.” “Yes, they will, too. They’re not Squirrels. They're trolls. When they come up out of the ground they always slip into a squirrel skin so the earth peopie won't know them. But they can’t fool me. You can tell them by their hands. A squirrel has paws, but a troll has hands, and he can’t hide them. Trees never mind squirrels, but they can't bear trolls.”’ “What's a troll?’’ asked Babiola. “Do you know what a gnome is? And a brownie? And a pixie? And a kobold’ And the little brown dwarfs? Well, once a brownie’s second cousin married a kobold’s aunt, and she was stepmother to a pixie family whose grcat-granafather had been a gnome, and their children were troils. They look Hike the brown dwarfs, only they had pixie heads and kobold feet, and Don’t cry, little James, don’t cry! they’re just as full of nischief and tricks as a butternut is of meat.

So good-by, little James! Fly high. “That's because you're a foolishness. Can’t you tell a head when you see one? Don’t I look like a head? Did you ever see a head on my feet—I mean my branches? Whury, once the tree people used to walk around all right, and |} they were a splendid people, too. I don’t remember, because I grew upside down, but there’s an oak somewhere down the road who remembers hearing his father oak tell the acorn babies about it. The only thing about them was that they were proud, and wanted to wear beautiful clothes and have piles of gold and silver, like the ground people. It was the trolls that used to come up out of the ground and tell them abo ut {ts riches, .§o,the three people forgot the. sunshine and soft rains and‘ blue sky with its‘stars, and tried to dig in the ground deeper and deeper after the troll treasures.”’’. “How far do you have to dig before you find’ the the trolls?” “How? Never you mind,” cautioned the tree, ‘ ‘Just let the trolls alone, or the first thing you know you'll be standing on your head too, That’s what happened to the tree people. One day they found they couldn’t get out of the earth holes they had dug, and there they were,.standing on their heads, with their heads way down in the earth, digging forever deeper, and yet not deep enough. And the trolls would come up and laugh at them and steal their nuts away and strip their pretty leaves off, and leave them bare and shiver- ing when the cold winds blow. And they tie our roots up in knots and tickle us and pinch us. O-0-0-0! Look out when you see a gray squirrel coming!” “I’m not afraid of them,” said Babiola stoutly. “But I wish I could see you stand up straight. I don't. belleve a tree could walk.”’ : “You don’t? Well, say, do you see any trolls around?” he tree suspiciously.

Sure enough, right over on the top of the , Stone wall were five little gray squirrels, all sitting up in a row, eating but- ' ternuts.

They’re trolls,"’ cried the tree. ‘Look at their hands.” Createst Toilet Luxury Made And really and truly they did have funny little handg instead of paws, that they held the nuts in.

And when Bobolink came along whistling , after awhile she was Still there. ‘“‘Are they all gone?’’ she asked him. ‘““Wihat?"’ ‘The trolls and the tree.,’’ “There isn't anything but the old butternut that night. What's a troll?’’ Bablola wouldn't tell him. He was only a boy, anyway, and couldn't un- derstand. So she looked over the top of the stone wall and there wasn’t any head to the roots at all, only a gray squirrel sitting up on top, eating a “but- ternut. Bobolink never noticed it, but Toots and Bablola knew it was a troll, and they ran home as fast as they could go, for fear it might offer them some sacks of jewels and gold, and leave them standing on their heads hunting for more.

IRWIN GOES TO: WILMINGTON Man Spoken of as Manager of Cardinals Said*to Have Ac- cepted Another Position. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 22.—E. J. Curley, representative of the Wilming- ton Club of the Outlaw League, made the startling announcement at the meeting of the Tri-State League last night that he Mad signed Arthur Irwin to man- age the club next season. Irwin has been prominently mentioned for the position of manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and many figured that »-he was the probable nominee for the place, as he was the forlorn hope, every other manager of more or less conse- quence having refused the position. Irwin last year was in charge of the Kansas City Blues, which made a dis- sappointing showing in the American Association. At the meeting last night, J. R. Bockel, owner of the Altoona team, stated he would be in line with a good manager before many days, and that his team would be found among the topnotchers next season, FOWARD PEODL DIAMOND JUBIL English King Sells His Famous Racehorse to Citizen of Argentine Republic. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 22.—King Edward of England has just sold his Derby win- ner, Diamond Jubilee. The noted Eng- lish thoroughbred was bought by Senor Aignateo Correas of the Argentine Re- public, and will be shipped this week to his new owner's ranch in that coun- try. Diamond Jubilee won the Derby in 1900. It was the second Derby victoify for the then Prince of Waies, as Per- simmon, another son of St. Simon, the greatcst progenitor of speed among racghorses, had won this English classie a few years previously. King Edward has never won the Derby since his ac- cession to the throne. Diamond Jubilee will be placed in the stud in the Argentine Republic, which is one of the gregtest racing countries in the world. ‘The great racing day there ig Sunday. On a bright afternoon it is a common thing for 5,000 persons to attend the principal track, located near Buenos Ayrfes. The two Michael brothers, who were well known here a few years ago as jockeys, are now riding with great suc- cess in South America. Since Harry Michaels arrived in Argentine Republic a year ago he has won race after race until he is now one of the leading jockeys. The South American heavily, and when they win are very generous to thelr riders. Young Mi- chaels has been well paid for his trip to South America. He now has a good fat bank account. It proved a most profitable move for him, as he was unable to ride here because the Jockey Club refused to grant him a license. GOSSIP OF SQUARED CIRCLE.

AELEA BILLIARD. CONTROL Amateur Athletic Union Will Not Attempt to Supervise Gentlelan’s Game. The Amateur Athletic Union, which has for years exercised a circumscribed control over amateur billiards, has vol- untarily withdrawn. from its supervision of the gentlemen’s game, and the play- ers who desire to engage in games for a side bet or wager need no longer fear the esplonage of me A. A. U. official that. would repo their breach of the amateur rules. Biliiards figured sécond on the roster of games and sports over which the amateur governing body claimed juris- diction, and billiardists who contem- plated retaining their amateur standing Cr at any time competing in the national tournament for the title of champion would have to conform to the following rule as described in Article X of the ‘Amateur Athletic Constitution: ‘“‘No person shall be eligible to com- pete in any game or entertainment given or sanctioned by this union, who has received or competed for compensa- tion or reward in any torm for the dis- lay, exercise or example of his skill n or ngs of any game or enter- tainment; or Khas entered any competi- tion in any name other than his own; or has knowingly entered any competi- tion open to any professional or pro- fessionals; or has knowingly competed with any professional for amy prize or token; or has issued or allowed to be issued any challenge to compete against any professional.”’ YOST WANTS FOUR DOWNS If Distance to Be Gained Is In- creased Michigan Coach Wants More Chances. DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 22.—Coach Yost of the University of Michigan football team, has forwarded to Walter Camp a letter, expressing his views on football. It is the first expression on the matter which Yost has made. Yost strongly advocates any reform which will make football more open and believes that lengthening the distance to be gained will be a great help. He believes. however, that more downs should be allowed for the gaining of ten yards, three downs, Camp’s plan, being too great an innovation for the first year. Yost favors a return to the old plan of allowing five men back of the line, irrespective of position, and claims that this will encourage end running more than any other plan, bringing as it does, One more man into the interfer- ence. Yost concurs with C in the opinion that 30-minute halves are long enough and is strongly in favor of a central appointing board of officials, previding the organization can be made liberally representative of all sections of the country. He combats the pro rule vrohibiting tackling be knees, rere that this method is not productive of injury and Is the only method possible for a light defensive layer who is called on to tackel a

a we Neither Fitz or O’Brien Was Injured te the Battle of ; day Night—Red Robert Says It Stage for Him Now, Special to the Post-Dispatch. O’Brien. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.—Neither| and then O’Brien or Fitgsimmons shows any ill effect of their battle in which O'Brien won the light-heavyweight champion- ship of the world, and old Fitz, once thé peer of all prizefighters, fell a victim of advanced years and the telling jabs. of his younger opponent. O’Brien has not a mark to show that he faced the famed blows of Ryby Rob- ert for 13 rounds, and but for a slightl¥ swollen upper lip Fitz came out of the fray unscathed. In view of the fact that Fitz fell out of his chair in his corner bleeding and helpless, his condi- tion today is considered marvelous. But one solution can be ascribed to his de- feat. Father Time thwarted his at- tempts to deliver his world-famed knockout punch and forced him into sheer temporary exhaustion. Ten seconds to recuperate was not laid down in Marquis of Queensberry rules with any idea that a man of 4 years would battle. Fitgsimmons’ rugged but worn frame bent and fell from its age-weakened condition. The “Grand Old Man” of the ring had suc- cumbed to years. He had fought an opponent who surprised even his sec- onds by his ring generalship. Fitz’s fighting days are over. He de- clared today that he knew better than anyone else that he was in the historic class with John L. Sullivan. “IT thought there was another punch and another fight in me,’’ he said pa- thetically. “But it’s me to the reaim of stage battles from now on. I haven't any excuse to offer. My hands are as . today as they were before I en- tered the ring. There is only one con- clusion. I’m what they call a ‘has been’ | and ‘O’Brien a comer. He has come along like a 90-horse power auto, too, since I met him before.” O’Brien has received a deluge of mall and telegrams. Three messages inter- ested him most, they were challenges from Sam Berger, my Ryar and Marvin Hart.

DEFEAT MADDENS ODELL

Challenges Roosevelt to Reply, to His Charge of Gross | ter, he throws stones at me. “The Roosevelt and Hig harmony is to kneck heade. and they are responsible for any party disaster that may follow the knocking. “I charge Gov. Higgins with _du- plicity, the worst case of @uplicity I ever encountered in polittes. “I wil! tell the true story of the )Speakership contest, and I challenge the Governor to contradict it. As- sembiyman Merritt told the exact truth when he said that Mr. Higgins had 'ractically agreed to his election as Speaker. “Soon after the election I had a talk with the Governor, and asked him whom he favored for the Speak- ership. He went over the ground fully. and eliminated all the candi- dates except Merritt. He would not have any man from New York City or Buffalo betause, he said, it would not do to give the cities a denominating influence fn the Legislature. “Finally. he asked me to put certain questions. to Mr. Merritt and to report the answers to him. I did so and the Governor assured me that the an- swers were quite satisfactory. It was clearly understood then that = Mr. Merritt would have the support of the Governor, and Mr. Merritt went on with his canvass with that under-s- standing. Charges Duplicity. “Therefore I was never so surprised in my life as when I heard that Hig- gins had come out for Wadsworth. He had switched his trolley without a word of warning. It was the worst case of duplicity I have ever seen in politics. It cannot be defended on any ground. “Now, as to the Washington end of it. A coatless and collarless man (J. Sloat

Fassett), William Barnes Jr., George W. ins idea of} +thumbs went to Washington, saw the President, and started this trouble in conjunction with Higgins. Fassett, you know, delivered a speech on the Bowery in 1891, without a coat or collar, to.at- tract the workingemen. He attracted them so much that he got avery bad beating at the polls and was buried po- ‘tically. Those soreheads appealed to -he . President, and Wadsworth was brought out as a candidate. “The President adopted a course that is calculated to bring disaster to the party. If he had at heart the interests of the party he would have made an effort to bring about peace, not war. He would have sent for me. told me what he desired, and I would have been giad to promote any movement to re- organize or reform the party. If that had been done this trouble would never have occurred; there would be no fac- tional warfare now.”’ ore og Pager ge of assembly- men ca or today at the Hote} CC: ~ lac, Mr. Odell said: — “I did not call the meeting and I am not bothering about it. I will say, how- ever, that many assemblymen who have Governor in foisting on them a young, inexperienced man as a candidate for Speaker. will be elected, but I say that Wads- worth will not be.’’ Despite the desperate fighting of Mr. Odell and his backing of Assemblyman to be selected if the old organization backing for the place. Dark Horse Probable. There are a number af assemblymen who object to Wadsworth, either on ac- count of his youth or the manner of his selection, but at the same time object to Merritt because of the Odell brand

upon him. An entirely new man might gain their support. For this reason there Is a possibility of ua new candidate who will receive the support of the united opposition. “I do not hesitate to say that the con- ference will be a fizzle," said Mr. Wads- worth today. “I am more confident than ever before. Within six hours I! have received assurances that make me fee] absolutely certain of election. 1! wish to repeat that President Roosevelt

I do not care to predict who | Merritt for Speaker, there are strong in-| dications that a new candidate will have! hopes to beat young Wadsworth, whom: both the President and Gov.

The luncheon I had at the White House last Saturday was purely a social affair. There were ladies present and I was the only New York man there.’’ Concerning the fight, the World morning says editorially: “Mr. Odell can be eliminated if the President has the moral courage to do it. The danger. lies in Mr. Roosevelt ' himself “He has never yet beaten down a par- ty boss. Many times he has set out with brave words and much blaring of trumpets, only to conclude a treaty of /peace before the first blow was struck. No souner does he gird up his loins and buckle on the breastplate of righteous- ness than somebody whispers to him that he may éndanger party harmony, and straightwavy all his fine moral vigor -oozes out at the ends of his fingers. |Party harmony is such a sacred thing lthat it must not be jeopardized. | “This time, however, Mr. Roosevelt is iin a fight in which compromise would 'spell political disaster. Having under- 'taken to destroy Odell, he must finish i his work or leave his party in this State i hopelessly divided. * * * * “With all due respect to the so-called this

Y., Dec. 223.—Congress- man J. Sloat Fassett, who is home to spend Christmas with his family, when shown Chairme. Odell’s interview yes- terday, in which the latter blamed Fas- sett for the present condition of things in the Republican party and the state ment of Senator Maltby, threatenin; impeachment proceedings against Gov. Higgins, said: “The talk of impeaching Gov. Hig- gins is rank nonsense. It js much bet- ter for a governor in office who is like- ly to be held responsible for party ac- tion to do everything tn his power to uplift the party in the interests of the whole people and the entire party, than for a governor out of office, for his own selfish interests, to maintain the present condition of things. Gov. Hig- gins belongs to a different school from former Goy. Odell. Gov. Odell accuses Gov. Higgins of duplicity. Gov. Higgin and President Roosevelt can well affom in view of their record and the influenc of their record upon the story of th: party to accept the challenge of a com parison of records thus invited. “The ex-Governor accuses me of lead

ing. t rty to defeat In 1891, but we ven. th py defeat in and ~ also in 1892. With reference to the ex-Goy- ernor’s assault upon myself, while I thank him for his tardy acknowledg- ment that I am collariess, | want to say this situation is one away above petty personal likes or dislikes. The 4it- uation cannot be changed by skill in innuendo or rsonal epithets... It is a question of the integrity of the party life and of the uplifting and maintain- ing of the party ideals along the old- fashioned lines, where the first inter- esta were the Interests of the people and the party interests were subservient to those. interests and the party lead ers were subservient to the whole par- ty.’” , After paying Mr. Wadsworth a trib. ute for his intellectual strength and de- termination of character, ‘Mr. Fassett concludes as follows: : “The President is not {nterested in this contest for the sake of any one man, He is anxious for a reorganiza- ion of the party along higher ideals nd for honorable purposes. His inter- st is purely unselfish and solely for he good of the people and the party. “I am profoundly grateful to ex-Gov. dell for attributing to me the pres nt ifficulty which seems to be surround- ng the consummation of his selfish jans. I think he does me too much ronor. I shall be very glad if, on that oint and that alone, the Republican varty agrees with him. His reproba- tion I consider a decoration.” eee Get This Novelty.

Salvationists Pray for Xmas: Snow; Makes the World Sympathetic. NPW YORK, Dec. 22.—The Sal- vation Army ifs praying for snow. “Just a flurry of snow would double our street collections,” said Commander Booth yesterday, in speaking of her plans for gtv- Christmas cheer to the poor. “A little snow does make people so sympathetic.” Here in New York the Army counts on giving a good Christ- mas dinner to 25,00 unfortunates, of whom 5000 will sit down to a banquet at 6 o’clock on Christmas night in the Grand Central Pal- ace. The others will be reached through a distribution of baskets from the barracks on Christmas morning. *T shall personally hand a bas- ket to each one in line,”’ said Miss Booth, her dark eyes kindling with anticipation. ‘‘In each bas- ket will be a good dinner, con- sisting of a large chicken, a tin of soup, potatoes and other veg- etables, sugar, coffee, a pound loaf of bread and five pounds of apples.” “e The Parity of Burnett’s Vanilia

It is for pos- session of the State organization. Odell lost the first big battle along about day- light when Congressman Herbert Par- sons was elected as head of the New ‘York County Committee. | Twenty odd years ago the Republican party this State was wrecked in a light between President Arthur and Roscoe Conkling. The question then, as now, was control of the State politics frum the White House. More striking is the similarity when it is remembered that E. A. Merritt Sr. was the man Afthur and Conkling fought over. E. A. Merritt Jr. is one of the men who ives caused today’s strife. Ore big phase of the conflict came to u head this morning. Odell was de- feated ignominiously when, by a vote of 822 to 288, Herbert Parsons won the control of the New York City Republi- ean machine. This result came after the hardest fought and most exciting political battle in the history of the lo- eal organizatien, a fight lasting until long after 8 o'clock this morning. William Halpin led the fight for the Odell men. Mr. Parsons, assisted by Lamuel E. Quigg, led his fight in per- son, Duplicity. * ee > t¢ Sth yh ith seateen Tt 3 F 43th} leetetee ? ee +] : . 4 $234 ; > , ee . + +++ « + ae see é . 3454444 +3 , 35h + 4345404 estes : 4 if 4 +344 {3-3 TESSOESSEHIPOSEESESERAE Ce sbeta cee ergs sess: bee > itt *¢ ’ » 7 » ob: r ; ; seasidea catessdatbesstentea ape aptetstetatacs se? + ’
