Louis and ‘who is in charge of the en- forcement of the compulsory education law in the city. has compiled records ‘Tor the first 15 weeks that the law has Deen in force. With his staff of assistants he has worked so quietly that few St. Louis- ans outside of the families visited have an idea of the scope and benefits of the work. More than 7500 cases of children who should attend, but had not attended school regularly, were investigated. ‘Truants were made to attend school, ehildren who attended irregulariy were made to realize their duty, many little boys and girls were taken from fac- tories and given the opportunity of an education, and hundreds of children of foreigh e@ktraction, who had only lived in St. Louis a few weeks or months and knew nothing of the chance they have for a free education, were ylaced in the schoolroom. In the public schools for the frst Quarter there was an average attefd- -@nce of 68,102, an increase of 2932 over sart vear. On account of the World's Fair, Mr. Quinn believes that there were muvore #ohoo! children in St. Louie last autumn than this past fall. The increased at- fendance is attributed by him to the thorough work of the attendance off- cers.

It takes a long while, at times, to ty that the schools are free to all children and that the children must at- tend if they are within the prescribed age. When this is made clear, as a rule, all objections vanish. The joy these parents show when they learn that theit children may have the udvantages of an education is one of the rewards of the attendance officer's work.

Se Ai HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK. The of John A. McCall and the an- nouncement that Frederick A. Burnham will resign the presidency of the Mutual Reserve as soon as he can arrange restitution, mark the wind up of the in- surance investigation. Whether criminal prosecu- tions will follow remains to be seen. But that is not very important. The whole world knows the truth. We all know that for 20 years we have been blinded, gulled and bamboozled. The men we have been accustomed to respect as very kings of practical thought, constructive geniuses of a high order and pillars of society of unquestionable strength, turn out to be poor creatures with absolutely not one qualification for positions requiring real intellect and moral force and consistency. The Blair reputa- tion in St. Louis was not more hollow than the repu- tations of these unhappy men, who posed as great powers in the financial world. It is much to know the truth.

resignation A committee appointed by the New York Cham- ber of Commerce reports to that body that publicity is the only weapon to combat “the spirit of sordid commercialism, which has clouded the judgment of those who have been the custodians of large and im- portant trusts, causing t#em to depart from the well trodden paths of rectitude and high honor, which heretofore has characterized our merchants and bankers, revealed by the recent imsurance in- vestigation.” As if to emphasize this the commit- tee concludes that no restrictive legislation can in- sure honest administration. This declaration is es- pecially noteworthy because it comes from the first, commercial body in the country, an organization of conservative men who are not in the habit of telling what they are doing. Legislation insures nothing; publicity insures everything; that is practically what this committee thinks of administrative ques- tions of finance. A man who is trusted will fall under temptation, no matter what the law says. But if his every act is watched he cannot make away with the trust funds. Two years ago President Roosevelt assumed re- sponsibility for the Panama Canal] and announced that he would make the dirt fly. After months of _marking time the whole subject is to be referred to Congress, the National Palaver, as Carlyle called it. and, if there is anything in signs, there wil] be no marching for a good while. It was ardently hoped when Mr. Roosevelt made his promise that work would really begin, but it appears that he knew abso. hitely nothing of. the administrative and executive problems involved. The project is drowneil in a clamor of conflicting opinions which are louder now than ever. Congress is well qualified to talk about it. But is Congress qualified to do any administrative work? The President “passes it up” to Congress, which is much like evading an unpleasant duty, al- though he is not the man to shirk duty. The con- clusion of the matter is, and it is a conclusion which the whole country is fast approaching, that there is too much politics in the canal, too many special in- terests, too much levity, too much thought'essness and too little quiet, sober desire to achieve a great public service for its own sake, without any care for selfish interest or personal fame. a» A» «& That there should be a squeeze when the vol- ume of money is enormous, and after an unprece dented holiday trade, the unfinancial citizen finds it hard to comprehend. hip hp ie. ~~ = THE ASCENT FROM TABLE MOUNTAIN _ As far as it has been reported by telegraph, the annual session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at New Orleans is full of promise for the future of this country and of the world : To realize its promises, modern science has lacked . thus far only one thing, and that one thing has been ability to draw the hair line between discuss’on and disputation. ‘At New Orleans, the outside observers of the pro- tedings have been as keen-sighted as ever Trutb- ful James was at Table Mountain. They have watehed every section for the beginning of what they have expected as the inevitable when scientific gentlemen would begin pelting each other with the relics of the paleozoic age. Yet thus far they have found only a single exception to the rule of full

fo r a a we MURDER AS A METHOD OF MERCY. Prof. Charles Eliot-Norton has devoted his lite to making a reputation as chief among those who are called in the Italian he made his specialty “the eognoscenti.” He collected thousands of volumes useful only in the criticism of Dante.and_ useful there only to those who decide to give up every- thing else in life that they may become the “great-

est living Dante scholars.” To succeed in a purpose of this kind is to join the ranks of “the cognoscenti.’ It is as an acknowl- edged leader among these great lights of intellect that Prof. Norton is now quoted in favor of _put- ting a merciful end to the lives of distressed old people, sufferers from incurable diseases and othe?s

| who in his judgment are untit to live.

In concluding a recently translated article on what he has learned of America and Americans, Rev. Charles Wagner, whose “Simple Life” almost converted President Roosevelt from the strenuous, comes at last to the “descent of man.” This indirection is not exactly complimentary, but there is consolation left in it for us by the con- siderate kindness of Rev. Mr. Wagner. Others, he says, are more shocked at the idea of being de- scended from apes than he is. He does not admit it except as the worst imaginable beginning be- yond which there is only one worse thing imagina ble. That is to go back from the beginning of a high civilization to the control of instincts which belong to the ape. It is not gratifying to our pride that Mr. Wag- ner reached this last extremity of his imagination | of the worst possible only after the highly sue- cessful visit to the United States, during which he accepted one of our abundant doctor degrees and began to be called Rabbi. Yet though this idea entered his mind in America or after leaving it, he ; declares that even in “the ferocity of human feel- ings, the lowness of our instinct and the obscurity | | |

These “‘vain imaginings’ on the part of the great steel magnate are just a bit tiresome, though per- fectly natural. In one way they remind us of Shel- ley’s beautiful lines: “We look before and after And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those That tell of saddest thought.” - On the other hand, they recall the lines of a less distinguished, though equally facile bard, who said; As a rule, man’s a fool.

A NEW FORM OF HEAT ENGINE. The steam engine and the ordinary internal-com- bustion motor by no means exhaust the range of possibilities of using heat’as a*source of power, and it would seem that besides developing mechanical features something could be accomplished by devising new principles on which heat engines might be ope-, rated. A suggestion in this direction has recently heen made in Europe by M. Cantor, who proposes to us? 28s an oxidizing material some solid such as oxide of copper. He would heat this substance to in- candescence, and then would spray on it some fuel such as petroleum or alcohol. .This would be burned and gas produced which would expand, and in go doing would perform-work as in any ordinary form of engine. In the meantime the oxygen taken rival the copper oxide bs the combustion of the fuel would be restored through the agency of the air-jet. Theoretically, it is clalmed that the highest possible rate of expansion would be produced in the working gas, and _ in- creased thermodynamic efficiency would be secured. It is, of course, too early to announce any practical result from this proposition, ahd a number of objec- tions must be faced, but it surely does indicate that power can be produced along other than the ortho- lines, and the present low efficiency of the steam improved upon.

PUMPING SULPHUR IN LOUISIANA. nieresting example of the manner in which an improved technical process may change the entire current of an important industry is seen in the de- velcpinent of the Louisiana sulphur deposits. It has long been known that extensive deposits of sulphur existed beneath a layer of difficult quicksand; but | the cost of reaching the strata, cither by freezing or | by sinking metallie-lined shafts, appeared prohibi- ltury. A new plan, recently put into operation, has | been most successful. This process consists in melt- ing the sulphur in place by forcing superheated water | down through pipes, the fused sulphur being brought to the surface in a liquid state. As sulphur melts at ubout 240 degrees F., the temperature is easily attained in an ordinary steam boiler; and the hot water is sent down through pipes 10 inches in diame- ter, to a depth of about 450 feet. By providing a second tube within the main pipe, the liquid sulphur may be drawn up; and as its specific gravity is about double that of water, it is correspondingly balanced 'by the column of descending water, the balance of ithe lft being effected by compressed air. i At the present time more than 1000 tons of sulphur are thus being taken out .per day, or about 350,000 tons per year, rs : An i

| BRICKS FROM SAND. Consul Williams of Cardiff reports that great sand dunes extend for miles along the north coast of Bris- tol Channel included in Glamorganshire, England. These, in addition to being utterly worthless for all purposes, are also a menace to the narrow strip of lowlands between them and the hills. A company of business men, with “headquarters at Port Talbot, nave determined to put the sand to some use, and if their works prove profitable an industry will be built yp on the dunes. The plan is to manufacture brick§ from sand. The experiment has proved a success on the continent, where the bricks are produced in sev- eral colors and take a glaze satisfactorily. The Port Talbot plant will have a minimum capacity of 10,000 bricks a day. Some experts claim that these bricks made of sand and lime will be the building brick of the future in Wales and the United Kingdom. ANTHRACITE STORAGE PLANTS. New storage plants are being constructed as fol- lows: Philadelphia and Reading, at Abrams, capacity 500,000 tons; Lehigh Valley, at Ransom, 300,000 tons; Delaware & Hudson, at Carbondale, capacity un- known. The coal today by leading companies is: Philadelphia & Reading, 1,700,000 Lons. Lehigh Valley, 1,500,000 tons. Delaware & Hudson, 800,000 tons. Erie, 600,000 tons. Susquehanna Coal Co., 500,000 tons. Lackawanna, 600,000 tons. Lehigh Coal, 400,000 tons. Total stored, 6,100,000 tons; present capacity, 00), which is to be filled as rapidly as possible. Mining property is being fenced in by barb-wire de- fenses 12 feet high. Part of the miners’ certificate law has been knocked out so that imported workers can be brought to the mines tn case of necessity. In case of a strike there would be no reduction of prices ot Mav 1, as in the past. The highest winter prices will be the summer minimum, with many dol- lars added, for the 12,000,000 tons in storage. ee ELECTRICITY IN THE SIMPLON. A welcome announcement in connection with fhe subject of electric railway traction is the statement that electric locomotives are to be used from the start for hauling the trains through the Simplon tun- nel. It was originally intended to operate the new route with steam locomotives, as in the case of the older Alpine tunnels; but the employment of electric traction will obviate trouble from smoke and escaping steam from the outset. The tunnel is now enlarged to the full dimensions for the main passage and the masonry lining is being rap-. idly completed. The auxiliary tunnel is now open throughout; and with the improvement in ventilation, and the gradual drawing off of the water from the hot springs, the temperature has been lowered from 130 degrees to below 80 degrees. It is expected that the line will be opened for business by May 1, and there appears to be nothing to prevent the operation of traffic during the summer. Active measures are at last being taken to improve the lines of access from France; and the new route from Dijon to Geneva, by way of Lons-le-Saulnier, inclyding the construction of the Faucille tunnel, will enable the full benefit of the Simplon route to be secure Stored 10 > 700, as

1806 THE HIGH TIDE OF PROSPERITY. From Leslie's Weekly. Never tefcre in all the country’s history has it been so prosperous as it is at the opening of 1906. |The products of its farms for 195 amounted to over | $6.0,000,009. This is not only several times’ larger ' than the preducts of any other country, but it marks a gnin of $250,006,000 over the highest previous record in the United States, which was for 1904. The yield of the country’s farms in 190% equaled the countrys aggregate wealth of all sorts for 1845. The country’s eold minés furnished $90,000,000 for 19%, which was $10,010, 00 in excess of the largest previous year, and the cutput of 1895. Its mineral products of all for the year aggregated $1,800,000,000, which is that of 1899 and four times that of 1886. In gold production in 19% we led the world, except the Rand in Scuth Africa. In mineral output in the gzgregaie we exceed that of Great Britain, Germany, and France. For 190 the country’s foreign trade passed the $2.50,000,000 mark for the first time, but ou: domestic tréde was immeasurably in excess of this. being far akove $20,000,000,000. We produced 22,- 509 000 tons of p‘c-iron in the year, or as much as our nearest cumpetitors combined—Great Britain, Germany and Frerce.

I do not say that the terms of peace ending our war with Russia were satisfactory. However, I do not wish to say that, because they were not as we wished them to be, the financial circles of our coun- try are about to be plunged into a sea of troubles Neither do I wish to harbor any such idea. From the very start, we did not take up arms that we might become enriched through an indemnity. From the beginning. we knew very well that it would be diffi- cult indeed to drive our enemy to the foot of his citadel and compel him to see the wisdom of con- cluding the “peace under the castle.”’ More than onve—and thig from the very opening of the war— we were in doubt whether, after all, the war would bring us anything like an adequate compensation for the expenditure. It would be out of tune with all things, therefore, for us,.at this hour, to be looking upon finaneial Japan after the war with a sad eye. Nevertheless, as we are well aware of the disturb- anees which the war has prought to our finances, we must look to the best possible measures for re- storing to health and prosperity what the war has disturbed. That is all.

THE NEW MORALITY. Maurice Maeterlinck in the Atlantic. The goodwill of men is admirable. They are ready to abandon all their dreams and all their hopes of happiness. even as many of them have already aban- doned, without despairing, all their hopes beyond the tomb. They are resigned before hand to see their generations succeeding one another without an ob- ject, a mission, an horizon, a future, if such be the certain will of life. The energy and the pride of our conscience will manifest themselves for a last time in th's acceptation and this adhesion. But, before reaching this stage, before abdicating so gloomily, it is right that we should ask for proofs; and, hitherto, these seem to turn against those who bring them. In any case, nothing is decided. We are still in sus- pense. Those W ho assure us that the old moral ideal must disappear because the religions are disappearing are strangely mistaken. It was not the religions that formed this ideal, but the ideal that gave birth’ to the religions. Now that these last have WHEREEAG | or disappeared, their sources survive and seek an- other channel. When all fs said, with the exception of certain factitious and parasitic virtues which we naturally abandon at the turn of the majority of re- ligions, there is nothing as yet to be changed in our old Aryan ideal of justice, conscientiousness, courage, kinaness and honor. We have only to draw nearer to it, to clasp it more closely, to realize it more effective- ly; aud before going beyond it, we have still a long and noble road to travel beneath the stars,

He threw his lariat. which landed around the neck of the bear, and had him choked to death in short order.

Mr. Pope is 31 years of age, barely five feet in height and weighs about 10 pounds. Despite his diminutiveness, to- gether with his absurdly youthful ap- pearance, he has been the sole organ- fizer of two banks and the promoter of many big deals which nave made older and more conservative financiers gasp with astonishment. Strange to say, Pope’s first bank, the Tieme Finance and Trust Co., met with almost the same fate as his latest at- tempt, but he was nevertheless able to retain the confidence of a large number of persons, and the early career of the Merchants’ Trust Co. was brilliant. Perhaps the most daring deal in Pope’s career was the purchase of the Mem- phis National Bank.

GOETHE MANUSCRIPTS STOLEN FROM LIBRARY. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, Jan. 6.—A second-hand book dealer was arrested at Weimar. He was suspected of having stolen some of Guethe’s manuscripts, from the Goethe library. The man, whose name is Bach, sold the manuscripts in Berlin. The buyers offered the manuscripts to the Weimar library and thus the theft was discov- ered. Bach says he bought the manu- scripts together with other books from | an old woman. who is dead now. A seurch made in the bookseller’s house showed that he possessed other valu- able manuscripts belonging to the Wei- mur library. |

On high-grade rackets the bow and handle are strengthened by a reinforcement of light but tough rattan, terminating just above the throat piece. Although the glue would probab!y ho!d tne wedge in place, it is safe to make doubly sure of the strength of the racket; so a specially made screw is used in passing through the handle and wedge. This screw 1s of uniform thickness the entire length, and after it is placed, the head and end is removed, giving it the appearance of a peg. After the wedge and center piece are glued in position they are held by clamps and allowed to stand until the glue is thoroughly dry. Putting the bow through the buzz planer makes the racket perfectly true on one side, and then it is taken to another special plan- er, where it is p'aned to the exact thick- ness, three-fourths of an inch. It is then p!aced on a form board marked for the holes, and the drilling of these fol- lows. Great care must be exercised in this work. Holes of three different sizeg have to be drilled in the high- erate rackets. For years there was dif- ficu'ty experienced in securing a proper Grill to make the holes in the piece or wedge, but after much experi- menting Mr. Bancroft invented a drill machine that met nilrably. Making of the Handles. The tapering of the handles is done by another machine built specially for this part of the work. If the handle were left in the present stage, that is wholly of ash, it would be too heavy. In order to lithten it and give the racket a bet- ter balance. the latter being very essen- tial in every racket, Spanish cedar strips are placed ‘on each side. This cedar is shipped from South America in planks from one-half. to two inches thick. These have to be sawed, nilaned, etc., into small strips of the size required, this work being done in the Bancroft facrory. After the cedar is glueq on ¢ach side, another delicate machine for perfectly shaping the- handle is brought into use. Every style handle has a cor- responding form to fit, s¢ that the shap- ing in every instance ts bound to be perfect. The tedious part of the construction is the hand work, which includes round- ing the holes (at top and bottom) so the strings will not cut, and scraping, shaving and sandpapers the racket. It is then ready for the filling room. ee ee dry-

GEMS FROM DIAMOND GREEN BY WILLIAM G. MURPHY. “Do you know that the old Browns would have won five pennants in suc- cession.were it not for a pair of shoes?” asked “‘Bill’’ Joyce. “These shoes were the ‘if’ in the case, and, as ‘results proved afterwards, they a pretty big exhibit as an impedi- toward the Browns’ fifth flag. was back in '89 and the Browns to play Cincinnati that day. The had just returned from a trip and the boys went to their homes before going out to the park. In the after- noon Robison arrived at the park and tound on.reaching the dressing room that he had left his shoes at home. He did not live far from th® park and it was an easy task to dispatch a boy for them. “When half an hour had gone by and the lad did not return Robbie: began to furne and fret around. Pacing up and duwn the dressing room floor he yelled to the bat boy: ‘Say. Lou, go down to the gate and wait there till that kid comes. Then grab those shoes and hustle them up here; I ought to be out practicing now.’ “The boy was gone about two min- utes* when he came rushing back. ‘Oh, Mr. Robison,’ he yelled, ‘the fellow’s been here with your shoes and the gate- keeper wouldn't let him in the gate. Said if he couldn't pay to get in he’d have to go back where he came from.’ ‘Robbie was furious. He ran out of the dressing room.in his stocking feet and sprinted for the gatekeeper, a big, fat German. “Say, you big boose wrapper,’ he screeched, “what did you send that kid away for? Why didn’t you let him in the gate?’ ‘It vas Mister Von der Ahe’s orders,”’ responded the gatekeeper, stoically. “Yes, but hadn’t you better sense?’’ roared the infuriated Robinson. ‘I have to have those shoes or I can't play in today’s game. Where is Von der Ahe?’’ The old Boss was not far away; in- deea, he was hurrying to join the crowa that had gathered, and was waiting open-mouthed. watching Robbie call down the gatekeeper. Robinson spied Chris. ‘Look here,” he yelled, gesticulating fiercely. “You sot me in a deuce of a pickle with your That were ment “at were team was carrying my shoes.” ‘‘He did perfectly right,” Boss. “He did, white with said the old did he?’ cried Robbie, rage. ‘Well, let me tell you something. I don’t play in today's game unless I get those shoes; do you hear? Now you can make the best of that bargain.”’ “Ts that so?’ asked Chris. “‘Well, let me tel’ you something, my fine fellow. You will hunt yourself another pair of shoes and get in that game, or it will cost you $50.”’ “I don't care if it costs me $50,000” rejoined Robinson, “I don't play until I get my shoes.”’ “You will not only play,” said Von der Ahe, “but you will apologize to this gateman or I will fine you $100 and sus- pend you until you do.” ‘Well, then do it.”" sneered the player and he walked to his- dressing room, donned his clothing and departed for home. “The next day the papers were full of criticism of Von der Ahe's hasty action, but the old Boss would not relent. The storm of public opinion in Robinson's favor seemed to gather, however, and

1 in three days the whole town was torn up about the matter, and the attend- ance at Sportsman’s Park actually fell to one-half its former figures. “Then came the disastrous trip that some say was fraught with defeat be- cause the players wanted to show that! ; SCROFULA sitstrases Robinson must be back in the line-up. ‘‘Kansas City was visited and four games were dropped to a club that never had any license to win a single game from the old Browns.

During his term of office Sheriff Mc- Cord has made an enviable record, and has received the compliments of every citizen of the commonwealth who was for peace and order. His official con- duct in connection with the Hargis- Cockrill feud in Breathitt County won him the esteem of the law-abiding ele- ment of the State. His first act in connection with the fa- mous band was in the arrest of ““Wild Dog’ Curtis Jetty who was charged with the asSsassination of James B. Marcum.

in his mission, Sheriff MoCord sum- moned his deputies and went to the home of Jett’s mother in Madison Coun- ty, arriving there after midnight. He went at once to the room occu- pied by the alleged assassin, and, knocking at the door, placed the. bad man of the mountains under arrest. Jett was known as a dangerous man, but he, too, knew the fearlessness of Sheriff McCord, having been a resident of Clark. County. Jett is now serving a life term in the Penitentiary. From the time Sheriff McCord placed the irons on the wrists of Jett he has played a prominent part in the feud affairs of Breathitt County. He is the only officer in the State who has been called upon to arrest County Jud James Hargis, Sheriff Ed Callaha former Siate Senator Alex Harsis a Judge Fulton French, all of whom wer charged with knowledge of feud assassi nations. The Hargises, were in Clark County in connection with the damage suit against them instituted by Mrs. cum, widow of the murdered attor.ey, when McCord was given against them from Breathitt County, charging them with the assassination of Marcum. He arrested all of them and tumed them over to the jailer of Clark County. From the time Sheriff McCord first showed his hand In the arrest of Jett he has had the ill-will of the Breath'tt County faction that follows ‘Jim’ Har- gis, and numerous threats have been made against him. But they have never prevented him from doing his duty. He has often gone to Jackson, the hotb-d of feudism, to render a service to Mrs. Marcum or some of her witnesses, wh> had been threatened with death if they dared to show themselves in the town.

I made it perfect and suecesstul right from the start. It has never been improved since I invented it. Look at the millions of money it has made for the stockholders. The stock in the trolley manufacturing companies sold below 15 cents a share in 1893 and 1894. Poor men could buy that stock then. Thousands of t hem did buy it and every one who held onto it is a rich man today. No Man on Earth Ever Lost a Penny He Invested With Me.

Itisa system by which passengers or tr ain crews ean telephone from still or moving cars anywh ere the same as if seated in an office. It is a more perfect system in operation than any other telephone you ever saw. This 1s on the road toward millions for the stoeckhold ezs. This Is My Greatest Invention. Now I have invented something bigger and greater than either of the above. It is called the Bidwell Cold Motor.

/ROSEBER Y UNABLE 10. HARM: IRELAND Walsh Believes Once Great Englishman’s Day of Power Is Gone.

PARTY IGNORED BY

Indications Are the Notorious Castle Dublin Power Is Doomed. BY R,. D. WALSH. Some editorial writers for the Ameri- can press evidently think that the in- fluence Lord Rosebery in the Lib- eral party will counteract any attempt that may be made by the leaders of that organization to give Ireland legislative independence. They overlook the fact that Rosebery is not the man he was in English politics a dozen years ago, that he is really not a Liberal at all, put a stanch supporter, in theory at least, of the program of the Conserva- tive party regarding Irish affairs. He is a Unlonist first, last and all the time, and whenever the occasion arises he will be found in the same eamp with Chamberlain and Balfour. The fact that he has been completely ignored in the formation of the new Liberal Government indicates the opin- ion of him held by the leaders of the Liberal party. Whatever influence Rosebery may possess will be exerted in the House of Lords, which holds the same relation to the House of Commons that the Sen- ate of the United States does to the National House of Representatives. It is quite possible that the House of Lords may veto any measure creating an independent Irish Legislature, but it will be dangerous to the very existence of that heavy organization to oppose the expressed will of the British people as voiced by the Commons. Only a few years ago there was a sturdy cry all over England against the House of Peers, and stranger things have happened in English history than the abolition of this useless and arbi- trary organization of lawmakers. of Campbell-Bannerman’s Consistency. There also seems to be a disposition in the minds of certain American writ- ers to decry the pubiic statements of Campbell-aBnnerman as far as they relate to Irish affairs, some suggesting that he is merely an opportunist, others saying that no matier now friendly he may feel towards Ireland, he will be unable to earry out his proSram. This is merely guessing. Nobody can accuse Campbeil-Bannerman of ambig- uity or inconsistency in his Irish declx- rations. For the last 20 years in the En- glish Parliament and out of it, he has been a fearless advocate of the right of Ireland to practical autonomy. A public man can only be fairly judged by his public acts, and certainly those of Campbell-Bannerman have been clear ind unmistakable as far as they Treiate: to Ireland. In his most recent speech, delivered at the Albert Hall, London, he said: “The principle of self-government and popular control was the foundation of the Goverment’s Irish policy. Those domestic affairs which concerned the Irish alone should, and when the op- portunity offered would, be placed in their hands.’’ This is fairly explicit langauge. Lid for Dublin Castle. Whether Ireland gets a native Parlia- ment or not in the near future, and the prospects are decidedly in her favor, Dublin’ Castle at all events will be shorn of its autocratic and tyrannical power. This institution has been the course of: Ireland for centuries. It has center and chief support o alienism in that land, and nothing tha ‘human ingenuity could suggest has be omitted to make Ireland a land of pof- erty and perpetual discontent. Ine sense of the word it was unrepr tive in character. Its officilais, who are exc merous and extravagantly pai@& a ecruited from bankrupt Irish landlords and English military pensioners, none of whom have any sympathy whatever with the people, but are in total igno- rance of the social and economic condi- tions of the people. Dublin Castle is simply there to do garrison duty, and there 1s no question that it has effec- tively done its work. Under its regime Irish industries have been destroyed, its people robbed in excessive taxation, an its people dwindled by one-half in less than 50 years. The day Dublin Castle is squelched will be a happy one for Ireland. Luck- ilv it does not require an act of Par- liament to deprive it of its power. An executive order by the Lord Lieuten- ant and Chief Secretary is all that wil: be necessary, and as the Ear! of Aber- deen and James Bryce fill these posi- tions, respectively, we may safely con- clude that the end of Dublin Castle is near. : This will be a fitting prelude to a native parliament in Coilege Green. And when once this infamous institution is destroyed we may rest assured that it will never be revived. Every decent Englishman and Scotch- man that had anything to do with the Dublin Castle government of _ Ireland returned ;to their own land disgusted with the condition of affairs. The late Sir Robert Hamilton, Under-Secretary for Ireland, and a Scotchman, said: “Tf my country were governed on the lines adopted in Ireland it would not take two years to produce a rebellion.’ For this frank expression of opinion Sir Robert was relegated to the gover- norship of Tasmania. Labouchere’s Retirement, The retirement of Henry Labouchere from Parliament will be a severe blow to Ireland. He was one of her stanch est and most consistent friends, and his presence in the new assembly whic! will be elected this month would be e« source of great strength to John Red. mond and his friends. Dr. Hyde its having a most success. ful visit in New York, his meetings be- ing largely attended and his speeches eliciting the greatest enthusiasm. GIRL OF 13 IS QUEEN OF BOY BURGLAR GANG. Special Cabie to the Post-Dispatch ang New York Worid.

@E SUCH SKILL Is A GIFT” So States Another Grateful Parent in Regard to TTR’ Ss inlass Cure of Mouth-Breathing ST. LOUIS. December 9, 1905. Dr. Martin M. Ritter, Star Bldg., St. Louis. Dear Doctor Ritter: As a happy and relieved parent, I feel that I want to express a few words of thanks to you for the won- derful good you have done my Kttle boy in so short a time. From a haby he has been puny and delicate; he never enjoyed restful sleep, and on ac- count of not being able to breathe right, we were always afraid of his choking. Since you removed the growth from his throat, I can hardly express the relief it is to us to see the little fellow sleep quietly, breathe nicely through his nose and to see him improving every day. I must reiterate my first expression, doctor, that “such skill is a gift.’" No amount of practice, it seems to me,. could ac- Oh, a complish such wonderful results. To NE RE | remove such a large growth, with ab- ; sohitely no pain to the patient, is simply marvelous. As one who fs in- terested in all children who suffer, I

Sarbh Ann Legg, Convicted of. Killing Her. Husband,. Confi- dently Awaits Final Verdict From: Supreme Court of West Virginia, CLAY, W. Va., Jan. 6. Jail that nestles on the hillside overlooking this town quietly sits a young woman, over whom the gallows casts its darkening shadow. She is Sarah Ann Legg, convicted of tne murder of her husband sentenced to suffer the extreme penalty. She calmly sits and reads as she con- fidently waits for the highest court of the State to "'ift the shadow and let in the sunshine of promised life. Her Jail life has given her the first oppor- tunity for extended reading, and she hails merrily visitors who will talk with her of the things she is now learning of for the first time. She is slight of figure—supple and svelte, not bony—with a voluptousness that is sometimes found in the women of slender frame, through whose veins anime! life runs in riotous course; her countenance is attractive withal, though her gray-blue eyeg have a bad habit of refusing open Minnie with those that challenge them, even with friendly interest. +l She completed her twenty-fifth year on the 12th day of last month, and she is the mother of two children, a girl, 7 years old the middle of June, and a boy 6 during the last days of the same month. A noticeable thing is in her hand. Though she comes from the lower walks of life—nay, the lowest—her hand is small and shapely, with an aristocratic taper to the finger, and the smooth rlumpness of a child’s. She easily thrusts it between the bars of her cell to shake hands with her callers. HUSBAND KILLED;

AURAL CARRIER ADMITS. THEFTS wr Missourian, Arrested by St. Louis Inspector, Lodged in Macon Jail. MACON, Mo., Jan. 6—John A. Hise, aged 23, rural mail carrier northwest of Keytesville, was brought here today by Postal Inspector W. L. Reid of St. Louis. Hise has made a written confes- sion, admitting embezzlement, the de- struction of letter, and that he took a letter from Keytesville Postoffice.

He simply destroyed the letters and kept the money. One letter which had been mailed to a department house in Chicago without a money order inclosed the carrier took from the postoffice in order to prevent discovery. in his confession Hise states that he had used the money in drinking and

gambling at Keytesville. Hise had been on the route over two years and had made an efficient employe until this winter. SEGREGATION OF RACES HELD LEGAL Kansas (ity, Kan. School Board May Separate the Whites and Blacks. Special to the Post-Dispatch. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 6.—The State Supreme Court decided this morning that the law ailowing the separation oa. the negro and white High Schoo] chil- dren in Kansas City, Kan., is constitu- tional. This gives the Board of Educa- tion of that town the right to keep the negro children entirely apart from the whites. The decision is not only important so far as Kansas City, Kan., is concerned. but it paves the way for the Legislature to pass an act separating the whites from blacks in all the schools of the State. Justice Green, who wrote the opinion, does not discuss the race problem in any way, but decided the question solely on the contitutionality of the law.

. GUTHAM BANK RESERVE AT RECORD EBB —Se | Surplus Nearly Exhausted for First Time in Twenty- Five Years.

$2,000,000 CASH LOSS

Chaotic Condition of Last Tues- day’s Market Is Blamed.

GRAIN AT LOWER LEVEL wee Blunder in Ginners’ Causes Sharp Break in Cotton. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 6&—The Evening Post, in its weekly review the mar- kets today, says: Wall Street.—The important develop- ment of today’s financial market was the bank statement. It showed the New York surplus reserve be praciically exhausted, the $3,721,000 decrease report- ed for this week leaving only $571,000 in the fund. Incidentally, it may be .re- marked that nothing approaching this low figure has been reported in the ini- tlal bank statement of any January in the 2% past years. Such comparison is quite in line with the other compari- sons drawn out by the 60 per cent money rate of last Tuesday, und the per cent of last week. The possible redeeming feature of the abnormally weak bank position dis- closed by today’s report is that it may reflect rather the chaotic conditions of last Tuesday's market, with the 686,000,- (i drawn in checks on the New York hanks, than it does the conditions of the moment. For one thing, the $2,000,000 loss In cash reported does not properly show the movement of the week. There has been, in reality, a trifling gain. On the other hand, the $3,600.000 increase in loans can hardly measure what must have taken place since the Stock Ex- change ‘‘boom’’ was renewed at midday ot to a 125 -yesterday. The Stock Exchange greeted tha weak bank showing with a burst of activity and rising prices, but this procedure has now grown too familiar to attract more than passing notice During the two hours’. trading numer- Ous stocks rose a point or more, and both strength and activitv were at their, height in the half hour before the close. Anaconda moved in a char- acteristic way; it rose 13 points and thén fell 11. Probabiy the up»ermost question in minds of people watching the financial situation is: Will money rates now réturn to 2 snormal Ievel wand stay there? More Trouble tn Future. Again, it is safe to say that if the wealthy stock jobbers will give the Wall street market a breath'ng space, the strain will automatically relax. They have, however, shown no inten- tion Whatever of the kind. If they keep.up Friday's pace, prediction is d’ficult. We have possibly to reckon With a gold export movement in the not very distant future. And it is al- most absolutely certain that, in any case, the markets must face the mu- Sic again in March or May. In the numerous comments on Mr. Schiff's speech on Thursday, less. at- tention than was deserved has been paid to his positive declaration that the Treasury is bound to plax in our money market the paternal rdle as- sume? in Lombard street bv the’ Bank of England. Not only does Mr. Schiff aS8sert that. under the existine sys- tem, the Treasury ought to ' lay that but he Yelieves that it cannot help doing so. It must, in other words, draw money out of the market when a plethora exists, and restore it When:the market tightens, It is doubtfrl if the formal assignment of Such duties to the Secretary of the Treasury will meet with general ap- proyval. z The sum of the matter is that, grant- Such as Mr. Schiff depicts, we should be fairly on the high road to such. seanda!s as should make the Wall street rold market eonspiracy of 1869 seem feeble by com- parison. The native shewdness which made Secretary Shaw perceive what the Situation really was, when the gamblers and manipulators were pulling at his Skirts a few weeks ago, might not al- Ways serve a public officer. Grain Prices Lower. Grain—Lower price levels obtained in ail grain markets today, but especially in wheat, which ‘broke sharply, owfng to further reports of heavy Armour selling in Chicago, notwithstanding en- couraging cable advices, foreign mar- kets being influenced by frost in India and the light world’s shipments. There was practically nothing doing in the lo- cal corn ring, and the variations were decidedly slow, although a weaker feel- ing Wus noticeable in sympathy with the West. Late in the session the mar- ket was dull and sluggish, with trifling changes. Exporters have fair orders for wheat and all coarse grains, but a free trade is checked ‘by the stronger claims of holders. Cotton—The cotton market broke sharply todav, starting with a deeline of 5 te 7 points at the opening on gen- eral Hquidation and endine weak at the bottom at a net decline of 26 points throughout the list of ontions, with March an the basis of 11.42. May 11.55 and Julv 11.42.. This break was the result of weaker markete at Liv- erpool and the National Gin-se-s’ As- soclation's recent reports having been admitted to have been erroneous and ua fadrce.

(Oklahoma Republican Politicians Oppose Wolf Hunter Abernathy For Marshal but Don’t Dare Tell His Friend, the President

|

oan CU Politicians All Realize It Would Be Hard to Make a Case and That Failure Would Mean Their Own Political Ruin. GUTHRIE, O. T., KLAHOMANS _ returning ». Washington, are -.confident that President Roosevelt wishes, if possible, to give the United States Mar- Shaifship of Oklahoma to John R. Aber- nathy of Frederick, Comanche County, leader of the President's wolf hunt in the “Big Pasture’ in Southwestern Oklahoma last spring. Republican politicians in Oklahoma, regardless of their factional differences, are unfriendly to the appointment of Abernathy to such an important posi- tion. He was unknown, save among his personal friends, prior to the coming of President Roosevelt last spring, and has no standing at home or territorially in Republican politics. This fact, however, number of Republican aspirants for of- fice and for prestige in Washington from giving Abernathy a general in- dorsement for “‘any position the Presi- dent might see fit to give him.” The statement had been made by Aber- nathy’s friends that President Roose- velt had told Abernathy that it might be possible to give him an appointment of some kind, and had suggested that _ - TS a Jan. 6. from did not deter a — ome we ae ee a JOAN F ABEPNATHT. Abernathy secure indorsements testify- ing as to his fitness for a position of trust. This statement was accepted by the men who indorsed him. After His Chief's Job. Armed with these credentials and con- fident of his standing in Washington, Abernathy grew active. Newspapers printed wonderful stories of his prowess as a wolf hunter, and Abernathy rose higher and higher inte view on this wave of publicity. Abernathy was appointed to the posi- tion of deputy by United States Mar- shal W. D. Fossett, a bit of supposed political strategy not misunderstood by persons who knew the desire of Federal officeholders in Oklahoma for reap- pointment. In time the story was told and nied that Abernathy would ask for Fossett’s place. It is alleged that he made the request in a different way, saying to President Roosevelt that he was not an applicant so long as Fossett was a candidate for reappointment, but that otherwise he would be pleased to get the appointment. He had indicat- ed, however, his choice of the official] »}plums in Oklahoma. Abernathy’s candidacy has reached the point where workers in the Repub- lican part in Oklahoma would like to declare openly thelr hostility to the appointment of Abernathy. But every active Republican in Okla- homa hesitates in doing anything tha might involve him in a controversy dis- d e-

BL R. 0. JOHNSON. Money has again been the dominating influence on the stock market, owing to the fact that interest rates in the East did not immediately decline with the passing of the New Year, and the dis- ribution of the January disbursements, It was pointed out in thi8 column last week that the opinion prevalent in cer- tain quarters that easy money rates would develop this week was erroneous. And although interest rates do show a decidedly eusier tendency, all indica- tions point to the fact that firm money will be experienced in all sections ol the country for some time to come. It is Unreasonable to expect that after the enormous extension of credits in the stock market in the last year and a half the tightness of foreign money _mMar- kets, the heavy demands from new mer- cantile and industrial enterprises caused by the existing prosperity in ‘the coun- try, that interest rates will reach tne former low level cf 2 or 3 per cent in many months to come. True, the return movement rency from the West may in the next month be ample’enough to give the Eastern bankers and financiers the Op- portunity to temporarily make interest rates very cheap and so facilitate the distribution of the burden of securities This, no doubt, will be the plan carried out, but the easy money rate will be ficti- tious and of short duration if the signs of the times are correct. Four Years Ago. oniy to compare the present and money market with that of four years ago to find ample grounds for the belief that an exces- sively easy money market is out of the question in the near future. It wiil be re membered that preceding the big buil movement of 1901 and 19v2, that money Was a drug on the market, and interest rates in the neighborhood of 14g per cent. Then came the upward movement in the stock market, which Kept pace with the improved conditions that developed in the industrial and busihess world. Prosperity reigned as now; stocks were carried up violently; new enterprises sprung up, crops were abundant and required enormous amounts of funds, until the extension of c¢ur- One has speculation Oj of credits had been carried to the point where interest rates began to rise. No attention that that no it have recently, tight would prevail, if did it would pass with the opening of the new vear. | The speculation extended on and on. as it has recently, Which time there was considerable id to that which has prevailed recent- y. The same assurances were given .at that time as now. by the banking inter- ests, that the passing of the new year | would seé money rates return to nor- levels, but they did not. Interest rates remained around 6 ahd §S per cent with the exception of a short period in February, and were finally one of the main causes of the severe liquidation and decline which followed. Stocks were as now vVielding or about 4 per cent and the of carrying interest finally backbone of the marginal and investor. These conditions, it will be seen, are almost identical with thote that pre- vall- now ‘and the‘simHarity of both pe- riods throughout fs so far so striking. that it seems to point with almost ab solute accuracy to a termination of the present money and speculative market in the same way. Stocks will no doubt be carried higher by the interests in control of prices as the burden of securities is still with the rich men. But if they are, and the movement is Drought about by easy money rates in February and March it will be h'gh time for the speculator to reef his sails for the coming squall. For all indications are for very firm inter- est rates for some time to come, unless an improvement fn the situation, in the meantime, is brought about by liquida- tion in the s‘ock market and a. contrac- tion in’ credits. Conditions Good. Outside of the monetary question the market situation if anythirg is im- proved. he oreign situation shows signs of adjysting i’self and confidence is no doubt being restored in foreign financial circles. Trade reports of the leading mercan- tile agencies continue highly optimistic Tron trade reports show an unprecedent- ed condition—in the steel and iron ousi- ness, which is invariably the barometer of the country’s prosperity. Rai'road earnings show very heavy increases in both the gross and net results over those of the same period one year ago. And reports from the growing wheat territory are on the whole more favor- able than ever before at this period of the year. The East Side tract stocks wer: also very strong on a reported consoli- dation of the Alton, Granite and St. Louis lines with the East St. Louis and Suburban. The bank and trust lists while quiet, show a very: firm price range on a persistent demand from smajil investors The strong feature of the local marke! has been its investment demand, which has placed stocks in strong hands, and practically eliminated the possibility of a severe decline like that of three years ago, when an over-speculative move- ment in these securities was encour- aged. The bond market is also in a strong position, and prices on all the favorite issues show an upward tendency, which is no doubt caused by the reinvestment of the January dividends.

Soon after the twbh men reached the midway in the station were met by Louis Decker and Walter Grif- fin, former associates of Bersch. One of the first things Bersch did after reaching his hotel was to call up his old friend Herman Bader, who keeps @ saloon at Grand avenue and Hebert street, and a long conversation followed. “Hello, Herman,” said Bersch, ‘I'm back all right and I'll be out the first thing in the morning. I'm here at the Rozier and all played out tonight, and think I’d better turn in early, but we'll have a good talk in morning and a game of pinochle for old times’ sake.”’ Then for the first time Bersch was re- Whom they the There is where the real fight will be made. cut examination hogers tacts ‘oncernineg elicit OW fniled to Standard any . the cle Ve hon three inierestiug _ wee.

Wore Tailored Suit. Dressed in a new gray suit and brown overcoat and retaining his heavy brown mustache, Bersch left the train and made his way through the gate unrecos- nized by Union Siation attaches, who were on the lookout for him and who supposed that he had gotten off at Tow- er Grove station. Although lighter in welght than when he left St. Louis, Berseh looks well and no one on the train suspected that he was the first- of the St. Louis boodlers to be released. When seen by a Post-Dispatch report- er last nignt Bersch said that he had made no plans for the future and was thinking only of his health, not feeling as well as he thought he should. “T haven't a trouble in the world to worry me ,now,”’ Bersch said, “and I’m some of the weight I have Jost while 2—Phyliis; Also Aunt Eliza. break the spirit that his last honrs in y ¥ .

T TO WOMAN DENIED BY KREBS St. Louisan Says He Did Not Present House to: Mrs. Johnston.

ADMITS HE AIDED HER

Kansas City Suit Brings Out Statements Widely at Variance, <jeorge 'W. Krebs; vice-president of the Van Noy News Co., testifying in Kan- yesterday in the suit brought Sas ( from a rear window of the second floor to a paved yard, just as John Harris and Thomas Callahan were raising a ladder to her, and her right knee cap was broken, her head was cut and she was badly bruised. Her condition is serious. Jasper Ogilvie, a Pullman car conductor, who was sleeping in the third story of the house when aroused by the heat of his room and the frantic screams of the suffering women below him, finding retreat by the stairs impossible, crawled through a window to the roof and remained until Lieut. Patrick Winters and firemen of Truck Company No. 14 rescued him. HOW THE WOMEN DIED IN BATHROOM. What nappened when Miss Reed, after reaching the street and giving the ak alarm, rushed back into the house to meet death in her heroic but vain ef- fort to rescue helpless Mrs. Hermann, was told by the evidence which con- fronted the firemen when they searched the second floor. , Miss Reed’s first thought on seeing the flames on the stairway was to call the firemen and then help in the rescue of Mrs. Hermann, whom she knew to be unable to save herself. To reach the second floor, Miss Reed had to risk setting her clothing on fire as she mounted the stairs. Braving the danger, she groped her way wést- ~ wardly through the hall, already dense with smoke, to the middle room en the north side of the passageway where Mrs. Hermann and her two sisters were chatting in ignorance of their peril. / FLAMES CUT THEM OFF FROM STAIRS. Directing Mrs. Hilger and Mrs. Pulvermacher what to do, between warn- ings of thei\ danger and the need of hurry, Miss Reed helped to lift Mra. Hermann from her bed. With her own and Mrs. Pulvermachers arms about the sick woman's waist, Miss Reed started toward the stairway—evl- dently believing that she could safely take the invalid and her companions . through the flame and smoke to safety. As the four women neared the stairs the fames were mounting to the ceil- ing, the smoke was denser and more stifling, the danger had increased. To brave Gescent through the sheets and tongues of fire that were winding about them was to face death with hardly an iastant for hope of rescue or retreat. When Mrs. Hilger retreated, to leapa minute; later from a window, Miss Reed turned with her companions to the bathroom as a haven from the smoke’ and flames. It is thought that with the door closed between them and the fire on the stairway they imagined they could be safe until the firemen or other heip : But the atmosphere of the house by that time was deadly smoke and heat. Gasping for breath, they inhaled the flames that curled around them and sank to the floor, where the fire latef made them its prey. But the arms of Miss Reed, still tightiy wound about the woman shé sought to save, gave proof that she had died without any thought of buying sacrifice of her helpless guest. came to them. with unconscious safety at the mothers ' Houlehan, ‘itv Mrs, boarding the Miss Reed was the daughter of Erkine Reed, proprietor of the was not at home Johnston by J.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Jan. 6.~Mrs. Arthur W. Gentry was brutally murdered with a razor aS she was leaving her apartment in the Sheridan, 582 LaSalle avenue, at noon today. The weapon was wielded by a mysterious lodger, known as Frank J. Constantine Jr. of New York. Mrs. Gentry, a bride of less than a year, was almost beheaded. She etaggered out the door and down one flight of etairs to the office of Dr. D. J. Doherty. She could only whisper to the startled phy- sician at the same time pointing up- wards toward her apartment. “He cut my throat,’’ she) gasped, and then dropped dead. g At the same time Constantine, without hat or overcoat, dashed down the rear stairs. He encountered the janitor, who asked: ‘“‘Where's your hat?’ “You run and get it for me,”’ answered Constantine ; apartment he discovered a trafl of blood and evidence of a struggle. By this time the murderer had disappeared. He ran south to Division street, where he bought a cap and a: silk handker- chief to put around his neek, for he wore no collar. This was the last seen of him. Constantine had been. a lodger in the Gentry flat for five weeks. ._During the holidays he borrowed $25 from Mrs. Gentry. He notified her that he was going away next Tuesday and she told a woman friend that she would demand a return of her money. Constantine had been well liked by husband and wife.

of the delays and of the criticism of the | public because of these delays. The bond issue has now been before the Council for more than three months. The fight began last September, when Mayor Wells sent his bond message to the Council, in which there was no ref- erence to a free b idge. The Joint Free Bridge and Bond Issue Committee then raised a clamor to have the Ziebold bill passed. This was an- swered by the amendment of the Wells bill. The amendments did not satisfy the joint committee, and other amendments were moved by the Council. Finally the twice-amended Wells bil] was reported out by the Ways and Means Committee at the last Counci! meeting before the Christmas recess. Before this bill is open to amendments it. must lay over for two meetings. Next Friday it will come up before the Council, and then President Forman will introduce his new bill.

Ziebold, for whom the free bridge bill was named, contended that the experience of St. Louls could show no good reason why the City Council should insist on a Separate instead of a unite vote on the bill providing for the public improvements, among which pro- vision is made for the free bridge. The Council he said, has been placed in the disagreeable position of opposing a bill which they pretend to favor, but which they actuallv oppose for technical reasons only. Mr. Ziebold called on all citizens to see that the councilmen and assembly- men were waited upon and shown why they should prefer the wishes of the people to those of a monopoly. L. C. Irvine, the last speaker. charged that the friends of the Ter- minal monopoly were the only ones who had been benefited by the assoctaticn’s recent reduction ifn toll charges. The minimum of 70,000 pounds to the car, he said, could only be taken advantage of by those to whom such care would be given, and the big cars, few in number. could only be procured by friends of the monopoly. At the conclusion of the «mpeeches a reco- lution was unanfmously passed pledging the massmeeting in favor of the free bridge bond fssue ordinance, providing for a unit vote submission to the voters. Strone opposition was expressed to a reparate vote on the question of the mranc@ed tmorovement«. ‘A Core ~~ eR ee ae Dc chee ASS 4 CIT ee OTE Ege sae oe A ARDS OE: a OCA EE NS ER ART rad es ee = ‘a este = ‘ Fs Gata esis Ri Rt Sjacetar COO 2 “~ Mr. Wray.

Mrs. Fach had the money at that time, and they seemed to be afraid /she would leave me more than my shate, or some- thing of that sort. Their father shared this fear. “If my husband had been let alone he would never, I am sure, have filed the suit for divorce. I do not belleve he would have done other things he has done since he abandoned me after our common law marriage. But they pois- oned his mind against me. He Is of a weak and vacillating temperament and easily influenced. This is shown by the quitclaim deed he filed Thursday for 19 acres of land in Clayton, giving it to his brothers for $1 and ‘other valuable con- siderations.” That property belongs in part to me. It is worth $0,000, and I have asked that it be divided with the rest. ‘When Mr. Fach filed his suit for di- voree there Were circumstances which I am not at liberty to discuss now, but which will be told in court, which pre- vented me from defending it. I refused to appear, in spite of the advice of my attorneys, and the case went by default. I could have prevented a divorce if I had been in such a position as to care to defend the suit. If anyone had cause to sue for separation it was I, because his brothers and father had made my life almost intolerable. “Mr. Fach told me after the divorce that living together would nullify it, but that he would be perfectly willing to marry me again, and I accepted his promise in good faith. We lived at vart- ous times at 4060 McPherson avenue, the Lorraine Hotel, Boyle avenue and Lin- dell boulevard; at Pechman’s, ton avenue and Olive street, and at the Hamifton. “Mr. Fach teok his two sisters and me to the Auditorium Annex in Chica- zo, and we lived there, as at all the other places where we Stayed, as man and wife.

He ex- plained that he received a remittance of $30 a week from his father, Frank J. Constantine, who, he asserted, was in the real estate business in New York City. The firm was John Con- stantine & Sons. He received many telegrams and special delivery letters, uséd many cabs and kept late hours. Constantine is about 27 years old, me- dium height, dark features and hair and stocky tigure.

Mrs. Gentry told me that she and her hus- band liked the new lodger. She told me of loaning him $2 and that her hus- band said it was not business to loan money that way. A few days ago Mrs. Gentry told me that Constantine ra- ceived a telegram and letter from New York and had said to her: Promised te Return Loan. ‘* ‘Everything ig all right now, I have received $100 and will pay you back your money.”’ ‘He did not pay but notified her that he was going away next Tuesday.” Hilda Nataibany said: “I met Con- stantine here in my brother's restau- rant.

FRANCE OW EVE SELECTING W PRESIDENT Every Candidate Has Arisen to Power From Humble Family. FALLIERS IN THE LEAD

His F ather Was a Clerk and His Grandfather a Black- smith.

DOURNER LIKE ROOSEVELT Disciple of Strenuous Life, He Quits His Bed at 4 A.M, ewes

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Coprright, 1006, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, Jan. 6.—It seems probable thit the presidential election on Jan. 16 wil! give France again a chief of state from the common people. The two candidates most in vicw, like Monsieur Loubet, are of the plainest origin. M. Fa!lieres, and candidate of the Progressive Repub- licans, with a leaning to= the extreme Views of M. Combes, is a son of a mug- istrate’s clerk and grandson of a black- smith, whose forge and cottage, propped against the wall of the Cathedral of Mezin, have been destroyed only just in time to prevent them from figuring in the magazines as pictures of the birthplace of the possible President of the French reoublic. M. Paul Doumer, who is supposed to be modelling himself diligently upon his hero, President Roosevelt, stands the next best chance of success at Ver- sailles. He is the son of a very humble railroad employe, and was apprenticed to a manufacturer of cheep jewelry. Doumer, now President of the Cham- ber, remains simple in his tastes and habits. It is said he riseg at 4 a. m. and lights his own fire. Sworn Exvemy of Pomp. He is the sworn enemy of all pomp and pretense, and in this is differ:nt from Fallieres, who, though far from rich, ts credited with liking to surround himeelf with all the parade of office end with aristocratic associates. Doumer, like Loubet, and like Fal- lieres, Owes much politically to his ca- reer in law. He is believed to be far the most intellectually eminent of the candidates, being a brilliant journalf«t, literateur and polftician. He had, as Governor-General of Indo-China, larger experience in big problems of govern- ment than any of his rivals. There is a certain doubt as to what school of politics he really belongs; in his heart he was inclined to socialism; then he dallied with the Nationalists, and even advanced toward tne. Right, earning thus a reputation as a trimmer. Leon Bourgeols, the third chance in the popular view, began life as a law- yer’s clerk, but charmed his way rap- idly to the favor of Jules Simon, and haa since scaled all the hetrarchy of office, winning the hearts of even his political adversaries. He is a phil- osopher, a linguist, an artist and amuses himself by making: midiocre sculpture. His friends call him the “modern Marcus Aurelius.” His elec- tion would be the triumph of the Rad- ical-Secialist group. Brisson a Possibility. Henri Brisson's election would mean the success of the same party. His Sreat distinction, apart from austere ersonal excellence, is based upon his ntervention in favor of revision of the Dreyfus sentence. Other serious possibilities are Count Rouvier, Bibot, Sarrien, who has ex- traordinary unofficial power behind the scenes, holding something like the position of political boss of Amer- ican politics; and Charles Dupuy, ed- itor and proprietor of Le Petit Per- sienne. There is some talk of the possible election of the greatest of French sa- vants, Mariel Berthelot, in case no candidate of the bitterly intriguing Parties can detach sufficient votes from the less decided fringe of his op- ponents’ camp. And always there is the possibility that President Loubet, who now waives any decisive pronoyncement, may accept a renomination, which would probably insure his re-election. It ig current gossip in Paris that Mme. Loubet is using all her influence Over the President to force him again into the arena. A week ago the Presi- dent complained as: follows to a friend: “In seven years I have not once been free to smoke my pipe sincerely.” He longs for freedom from the di- vinity and formality that hedges the President.

The report of the Master, which is required to be made on facts established by evidence, wili ‘be certified to Judge Finkelnberg’s court after ll days have expired, during which the attorneys for the defendants may file exceptions to the finding. Among lawyers and business men the finding is looked upon as one of the greatest importance, as the injunction was granted on the petition that the acts of intimidation and boycott, instl- tuted through the members ‘and officiais

of the union organjzation of carpenters, were unlawful and deleterious to the business of the Huttig company. in this case a restraining order was issued April 28, 1994, by Judge Amos M.

PARIS, Jan. 6.-—It is probable that Mme. Therese Humbert, the famous swindler, now undergoing a five-year sentence in the prison at Rennes, will soon be given her liberty, after having served more than half her sentence. The Prison Medical Board announced that an immediate surgical operation was necessary. She refused to submit to it and sent an appeal to the Minister of the Interior, In which she said: “The condition of my health is get- ting more serious, so that an immediate surgical operation seems to be neces- sary. After mature reflection, however, ] decided to ask Your Excellency to give me my liberty, so that I may die near my dear ones.”’ The Commission on Provisional Lib- erty will meet next week, and, it is said, will grant Mme. Humbert’s petition vecause of her health. Frederick Humbert, in the Prison of Thouarst, is also reported to be very ill. MINISTERS WON'T PAY. Bankrupt Book Dealer Classes Their Debts Valueless.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSEUM PRIZED Complete Catalogue of Valuable Exhibits Prepared by the Board of Education. to the

ATDS WORK OF SCHOLARS

Interesting Lantern Slides Used in Explaining Educa- tional Topics. The Board of Education has just is- Sued a new and complete catalogue of the Public Schools Educational Museum. The catalogue contains descriptions of all the articles the museum, which Situated in the Weyman School Teachers’ College, both the corner of Theresa and Park avenues. It also contains in- Structions to teachers to enable them to give to their pupils the greatest bene- fit of the museum. _ The museum, which has been in ex- istence*’since last September, is the only one of its kind in the country. At the close of the World’s Fair, when the for- governments and private exhibit- ors from all parts of the world were leaving behind priceless gifts for the }- Louis Public Museum, the Board of Ed- ucation made a request that the gifts from the primary schools departments of the educational exhibits be left to The request was granted. This them. the nucleus of the museum, in jointly and the formed which has since grown most encourag- ingly. Is n Museum on Wheels. The museum is virtually a museum on wheels. Instead of the different delega- tions of children from the public schools visiting the museum, the articles are transferred from the museum to the dif- ferent schools at the request of the dif- ferent teachers. The Board of Education has already begun to appreciate the value new idea. The children now take greater interest in their Studies. In- stead of being compelled, as formerly, to memorize theories with abstract ex- amples, they are shown practical] illus- trations of the principles explained in their text books. In this way geology becomes 4d de- lightful study instead of a perplexing series of rules and theories to be conned by heart. History, art, nature study, reading and, in fact, all the branches taught in the schools take on a meaning. Perhaps the feature most popular with the children the magnificent of lantern slides in the museum. Whenever the principal of a school wishes to give a magic lantern exhibi- tion. he sends an order to the museum for the kind of slides that he wishes. He may illustrate foreign different forms, the is of travel, nature in the appearance of the masterpieces of poetry and The museum is in charge of C. Rathman, assistant supertendent public schools. Mr. Rathman had charge of the St. Louis Public Schools exhibit at the World's Fair and was largely responsible for many of the gifts re- ceived from different exhibitors. “ Cy.

HARTMAN. roman January is the best month of win- ter—the best for health, the best for business, the best for pleasure, the best for recreation. The trying § ~ weather of November and December — has passed and most people have become acclimated to winter weather. Dr. Hartman, in speaking of catarrhal diseases prevalent during January, among other things said, ‘‘Notwithstanding Januaryisa _— midwinter month, fewer cases of chronic catarrh are acquired dur- ing this month than any other month of the year, with the possible exception of October.’’ | He went on to say, ‘‘The healthfulness of January weather how- ever, should not put people off their guard. There are many little rules that should be carefully observed. “'For instance, the feet should be kept dry. The hands and ~ wrists kept warm. Sleeping rooms should be well ventilated. The — throat gargled with cold water every morning. All these are excel. lent preventives to catching cold or acquiring catarrh.”’ The Doctor further said, ‘‘During a ee busy life, I have never omitted these details. In addition to these I always have a bottle of Peru- Colds and Catarrhal — na in my room. If I have a sligh {7 cough or hoarseness—the least ue | Ailments. of sore throat or sneezing, I take a few doses of Peruna and the difficulty disappears. hp ‘‘T have used Peruna very nearly all my life and I attribute my. hale and hearty old age to the use of Peruna.

At places the present thread of the current is miles from where it ran when the boundary line was established. it is said that the law provides that gradual changes in the bed o?f a river that ts designated as a boundary shall be disregarded, the boundary line fol- lowing the center of water cours® as the course of nature slowly modifies it, and the tucky owner on the side whence the water recedes acquiring title “by accretion’ to the land left dry. Un the other hand, however, when the change of current is ‘caused by some tremendous cataclysm, as a fresnet, vvul- canic eruption or similar event, the law considers that the boundary line has been wiped out, and contemplates that the line may be established by survey according to its original trend, regard- jess of the eccentricities of the water course. : The latter is what the nation's repre- sentatives claim has occurred in the case of Red River.

PORT WORTH Tex., Jan. 6. WO CHARTERS have already been 7 in the story of what is now known throughout North Texas as the “pionewall County Poison Mystery,’ the authorities of that county and of Fort Worth who have been busy in trying to solve the problem that was set for them when J. D. McGaughey, a wealthy ranchman of Rayner, Tex., died suddenly Oct. last, admit they are still without tangible clew which might lead them prove satisfactorily the causes responsible for McGaughey’s death. and vet 26 , i> The first chapter in the story ended with MeGaughey’s death. It followed a remarkable history of affection between an elderly plainsman and a young boy to whom he became attached to the point of almost replacing the boy's dead father. The second chapter ended with the suicide of J. C. Hills of Fort Worth tn the city of Tampico, Mexico, Dec. 27 last. The suicide came after a whisper of svspicion on the part of Stonewall [ County authorities against Hills, the young man who had been almost like McGaughey’s foster son; a warrant for Hills’ arrest on the charge of complic- ity in McGaughey’s death; Hills’ sud- den flight to Mexico; his pursuit by Texas and Mexican officers, and his ar- rest on the eve of his departure from Tampico for New Orleans. Wild Setting for Crime. Save for the last few days in Mexico, the scene of the story is laid in two sparsely settled counties of Western Texas—Haskell and Stonewall. It is the region of big ranches and their hospt- table owners, boundless’ stretches of grassy plain broken only by two forks of the Brazos River which wind throughout the entire length of both counties. Neither county has yet been invaded by a railroad and the stage or the pony is still the only means of transporta- tion. The chief mark of progress there {fs the telephone which reaches from ranch to ranch. These were installed only recently. In this region J. D. McGaughey set- tled many years ago. Land was cheap, McGaughey knew the cattle business. and he prospered. Steadily the acres of his ranch extended, until it entered the borders of both counties. McGaughey's ranch home was near, Rayner, a little inland town in Stonewall County. Fifty miles to the east of McGaugh- ey’s ranch lies Haskell, capital of the county bearing that- name. W. B. An- thony, now receiving clerk fn the Texas general land office at Austin, was Sher- iff of Haskell County at the time the story opens, and his headquarters were at Haskell. To the Anthony home; when a young Dramatic Self-Murder ; i ‘Presentation of Notes for $16,- he- | boy, came J. C. Hills, brother of Mrs. | Anthony. The boy’s parents were dead and he went to live with his relatives. In Haskell he began his education, which was largely the education of any boy brought up in @ plains country town—that is, to know book learning if possible, but, first of all, know men. Lad Charms Ranchman, Young Hills was a bright boy and he progressed in his education rapidly. Among those whom he met at Haskell was McGaughey. The latter became at- tracted to him almost from the first. Then began between boy and ranch- man a fast friendship. McGaughey was like a father to young Hills, and the lat- ter repaid the kindness by a devoted regard. Hills spent much of his time at McGaughey’s ranch and the latter was apparently never happler than when the young man was in his company. No change in their relations occurred until two years ago. Then Hills, 23 years old, declared he Wanted to more of the world than was to be viewed from the West Texas plains, and de- cided to come to Fort Worth. By this time he was regarded 4s an unusually promising young man, handsome jin ap- pearance, straightforward, popular ang winning in his manner. By this time he had influential friends in Haskell; his brother, a_ well-to-do merchant, lived there, and he was eas. ily provided with excellent recommenda- tions. Hills came to Fort Worth and se, ured employment in the State National Rank It was a small position and the Salary was hardly more than enough to pay his expenses, but he announced he had come to learn banking and proposed (, stay. Besides, in his years of training in Western Texas he had gained an interest in a Stonewall County ranch with MeGanoghey, and a few cattle. Ir is believed that McGaughey aided in getting this start. In Fort Worth, as in Haskell County Hills became popular, first with ga ‘rons of the bank and later with a large ef acquaintances. He took the home of W. ©.

became boon companions. GutNrie was private secretary for an extensive con- tractor and had a large acquaintance in society. He introduced yeung Hills and the two became regular guests at all so- cial gatherings. Visited Old Home Frequently. But with his place in a bank and his new-found society friends in Fort Worth, young Hills did not forget the friends of his boyhood. He went fre- quently to the ranch in Stonewall County, near the McGaughey ranch, and, as often as he went, visited his elderly friend. Hills was at times of a reserved disposition and, with no other explanation than “I'll be gone a few days,’ would leave the bank and immediately take the two days’ journey to his boyhood home. Early in October of last year Hills told Guthrie he intended going to the ranch to round up some cattle and in- vited Guthrie to accompany him. The two had planned several vacation trips together, but the plans had always mis- earried. Guthrie was reluctant about leaving his work, but his employer urged him to go and he finally consented to accompany Hillis. Sometime before leaving Fort Worth, a young man believed to be Hills had called at a local drug store and tried to purchase some poison for prairie dogs. He wanted a pound of prussic acid and two pounds of cyanide of po- tassium. Both are deadly poisons, ex- pensive and not usually carried in large quantities by Texas druggists. The druggist told the young man he would have to order more of the poi- son than he had in order to supply him and the customer told him to notify J. Cc. Hills at the State National Bank when the poisons had been secured. A short time after this, the druggist says he notified Hills at the bank the pofl- sons had been received and he was told to deliver them packed for shipment at the bank. He says he did this and re- ceived a check in payment signed by J. C. Hills. The prussic acid which he says he delivered was in diluted form. As had been planned, Hills and Guth- rie went to the ranch in Haskell Coun- ty. Guthrie met McGaughey, who was there with several employes. Mra. Mc- Gaughey was absent on a visit. men spent fishing The two young several days hunting and until finally Guthrie announced that he must return to Fort Worth. Hillis tried to persuade him to remain longer, but he refused and began packing up his belongings. Drink Makes Him Sick, Hills helped him and, when they were through, the ‘two drove to Haskell where Guthrie was to take the stage for Stamford, the nearest railroad point, While both were gone. McGaughey re- turned to the ranch. Being thirsty, he took a drink of water from a bucket sitting on the back porch of the ranch house. One of the men with him also became violently jl] after drinking the’ water. Guthrie, ignorant of McGaughey’s 4y)- ness. continued his journey Fort Worth. His returned to the ranch. condition became so serious that word was sent to his wife whe was at the home of her fatn- 20 miles away. She arriveg just be- to Lillis staid at the ranch severa! days OWRD age, and the swe and then returned to his work in the at Fort Wortn. told Guthrie wank He death. After a few Oi McGaughey’s weeks there was a new and startling development. Hills con- Sulted a firm of Fort Worth lawyers and told them he had a claim against McGaughey's estate for $16,500. He pre- sented two notes from McGaughey, one for $10,000 and the other for $6500, and also two insurance policies for like amounts, saying that he had held the policies as collateral. The lawyers whom he consulted told him he would have a hard time col- lecting the notes. Later McGaughey’s widow was shown the notes and pro- nounced the signatures of her husband genuine. She declared she knew of no reason why her husband should owe Hills money, and also declared she knew nothing of the life insurance pol- {ries Investigation Is Begun. Officers of Stonewall time hearing of McGaughey’s sudden death, started an investigation. They learned of the illness of the man who had been with McGaughey and pected poison. County, mean- Sus- There are few physicians tn Stonewal] and Haskell counties and autopsies are unheard of. So far as can be learned in Fort Worth, the Stonewall County authorities neither ordered an autopsy of McGaughey’s body or an analysis of the water in the bucket which, they suspected, caused his death. 5 But Sheriff Senter of Stonewall Coun- ty lives according to the West Texas gospel of never taking & chance. He went before a Justice of the Peace ang swore out warrants against J. C. Hills and W. CC. Guthrie of Fort Worth. charging them with complicity tn the murder by poison of J. D. McGaughey. Meantime rumors of an investigation into McGaughey’s death had reached Fort Worth. Whether Hi'ls heard them before Guihrie is. not known. It was about this time Hills was told he would have a hard time collecting the notes he held. One morning Hills failed to report at the bank. His accounts were straight, and, supposing he had taken one of his customary trips to his ranch, the bank officials paid no attention to it. A few dava later they received a mes- sage from Hills, dated City of Mexico. saving he had applied for a position in a bank there and aSking the State Na- tlonal Bank, which had formerly em- ployed him, to give him a recommenda- tion. That was Tuesday. The following Friday young Guthrie learned that there was a possibility he might be ar- rested. He paid no attention to the rt- mor, and remained at work

Guthrie Is Arrested. The following morning Deputy Sherity R. B. Senter of Stonewall County, sun of the Sheriff, and also a believer in the doctrine of taking no chances, came unexpectedly into Fort Worth, called at the office where Guthrie was work- ing. arrested him, hurried him to the

gsiation and placed him’ aboard a train for West Texas before any of the young mwn's friends could make a move in his behalf. The arrest caused astonishment. Guth- rie's friends expressed indignation at the young mans selzure and charge against him. Then some of them real- ized that out in Stonewall and Haskell counties justice sometimes moves faster

| employer,

less numerous, and, fearing for Guth- rie's safety should he fall in with Mc- (Faughey’s friends, they organized a re- lief party. In some respects it was a remarkable party. It included Guthrie's wealthy William G. Bryce; Noah Harding, vice-president of one of the largest banks in North Texas; State Senator W. A. Hanger; Willard Burton, vice-president of a $300,000 lumber com- pany, and other prominent business men. They dropped business interests for three days to assist a young clerk and secretary in whom they expressed their unbounded confidence and belief. “Guthrie could borrow $50,000 in town any day,’ one of the party declared, ‘and give no more security than his personal word.’’ Released on $5000 Bond. Their belief in Guthrie was so con- vincing that after they had reached Haskell, Tex., they persuaded the coun- ty authorities to release the young man on $5000 bond, which they readily fur- nished. Guthrie was bound over until the next term of cotrt at Aspermont, Stonewall County, which probably will not meet until April 23 next. As soon as bail had been given Guthrie returned to Fort Worth and his work. ‘I cannot understand it,’’ he said, when asked about his arrest. “I never saw McGughey before in my life until I went to the ranch with Hills. I was away when he died and Know nothing of the circumstances except what I have heard. There has been a big mis- take somewhere.” Hills, in the meantime, was still in Mextco. He evidently had not heard of Guthrie’s arrest, for he wrote the lat- ter two letters. In One he said: “Some day I am going to give you a full history of the affair which caused my sudden departure.” He aiso asked Guthrie to get his jn- surance policy and some other pap2rs and forward them, together with his cluthing, to W. B. Anthony, his broth- er-in-law at Austin. ln the other letter Hills described a tour through Mexico, told how he was enjoying himself, and said he expected to take a long journey through South American states. One phrase in this letter was significant. “Some day I am going into Fort Worth as suddenly as I left It.”’ . Texans Invade Mexico. Deputy Senter, who had arrested Guthrie, learned that Hills was in Mex- ico. Securing Deputy O. H. Buck of Fort Worth as an assistant, he hurried to Austin to get necessary papers au- thorizing the arrest of Hills by Mexican authorities. Then the two deputies hur- ried to the City of Mexico only to find that Hills had left there ifter buying a ticket for New Orleans by way of Tam- pico. They learned that the steamer for New Orleans would not sail from Tampico until Dec. 29—it was then Dec. 22—and, after telegraphing to Mexican officers in Tampico to arrest Hills, they started for that city. Hills was arrested as he was walking on the plaza. Two Mexican officers took him in custody. He had been strolling about with some American friends he had made during his brief stay and was elegantly dressed. “Let me go to my room at the hotel and change my clothes before I go to jail.’ he said to the Chief of Police when taken before that official, and the impressed by the handsome appearance, consented, latter, American's His “Joke’’ on the Official. Two Mexican officers accompanied ' Hills to the winter hotel, where he had through the lobby, some American ac. Passing to a room. Hills nodded quaintances. “Come up and see me make change,” he said to one officer. One remained at the foot of the stairs while the other accompanied Hills to his room. There Hills removed his clothing, folded it, placed it on a tray of his trunk and laid the tray on a table. Then he went back to the trunk and drew out a pistol. The officer sprang forward, but Hills handed the weapon to him, laughing. “Tt was only joking,” he said. Then he seated himself beside the trunk, leaned over, reached into ~ trunk and picked up a bottle. He un- this .

LEAVES BLACKHAWK Parents Give Daughter Who Eloped With Indian a Home. SIOUX CITY, Io, Jan. 6—After dwelling less than a year with her In- dian husband, John Blackh: 1 Allie, daughter of Doctor Hart 5 tte clan at the Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska, has rejoined her parents and with them Bone to California. Miss ‘Hart was brought up among the Indians and loved the free life of the reservation. After her return from school in Ohio, Blackhawk began paying attention to the giri, then about nine- teen.., When it became evident an in‘at- uation was Springing up which might have undesirable consequences Dr. and Mrs. Hart proposed a visit to Ohio and Allie readily assented. After the doc- tor had started on the drive to Sioux City with his daughter, where they were to take the train. she left the carriage at Homer ostensibly to bid farewell to some girl acquaintances, and after waiting an hour, the father was informed she had hastily hired a rig and driven off with John Blackhawk. They drove at breakneck speed to South Sioux City, where they were married, and immediately took the train for Omaha. Dr. Hart followed, swearing he would shoot the Indian on sight. Friends in- tervened, however, and the father re- turned home. Mr. and Mrs. Blackhawk have lived happily ever since on a farm on the same reservation. Dr. Hart has been transferred to a California reserva- tion and his daughter went with them. Blackhawk bade them good-by at the Station and returned to his Indian life.

a ee ee corked it and drank deeply. The Mexi- can evidently thought he was taking a drink of whisky, for he made no effort to stop him. Hills replaced the cork in the bottle and the bottle in the trunk. Then he pitched forward unconscious. Less than half an hour later he was dead. The Mexican officers examined the contents of the bottle. It had contained four ounces of diluted prussic acid. Hills drank half. The American: deputies, Buck and Senter, arrived in time to identify Hills and bury him. They searched his be- longings and found $300 worth of cloth- ing, about $15 in money, a revolver, some jewelry and some papers. Among none of the papers was anything that might give a clew to Hills’ reason for ending his life. Hills’ Friends Defend Him. Hills’ friends are unanimous in de- claring that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. They say he was the vic- tim of unfortunate circumstances; that he was of such sensitive disposition the shock of being suspected in connection with the death of his friend, made him leave Fort Worth without waiting to explain his reasons, and that the pros- pect of disgrace in being held prisoner in Mexico drove him to suicide. They admit they cannot understand how Hills had money enough to lend McGaughey $16,500 or the reason why the latter should want to berrow from his young friend, but they point out that McGaughey’s need would not be unusual] as, at certain seasons of the year, cattlemen frequently borrow large amounts to carry over investments, They also suggest that friends of Hills’, whose identity has not been dis- closed, furnished him the money for the loan or part of it, and that these friends chose to hold Hills for the ob- ligation, letting him take the insurance policies as collateral. They argue that his demeanor in Mex- which might be construed as leading to an interest in McGaughey’s death; that the notes for which the insurance policies were collateral were no more valuable with McGaughey dead than they would have been had McGaughey lived, aS he was amply able to repay them in full. “hey point out that Hills’ conduct was not like that of a fugitive; that he made no efforts to conceal his where- abouts in Mexico, even notifying his former employers where he had gone; that he told American acquaintances of his intention to go to New Orleans and thence to Central America.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know How Useful it is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows _ that charcoal is the safest and most ef- ficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take cf it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after ‘ 4 letter |

smoking, drinking or aiter eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Chareoal efiectualiy clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a nat- ural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which ,collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen- ges; they are composed of the. finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of iarge, pleas- ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal be- ing mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- tion of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: “] advise’ Stuart’s Charcoal. Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty- five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a_ patent preparation, yet I believe 1 get more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Char- coal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.”

He fought with his regiment throughout the war and escaped injury until the first day’s fighting at the bat- tle of Gettysburg. The Seventy-sixth, Ninety-seventh = One Hundred and Forty-seventh New York regiments and the Fifty -sixth Pennsylvania Regimen were at the extreme right of the field. They were attacked in a cornfie!d b) the fty-eighth North Carolina and two Mississippi regiments. The slaughter was great went down -with a ball in thigh and ome in his left groin, which went through his body, coming out at the right hip. As the armies withdrew, Smith raised himself to attract atten- tion. As he did so, another ball struck him just above the left hip, going through the intestines, touching the spinal column and going out at the right hip. As he-fell_back, a shell burst just above him, tearing away a portion of his right hip. It was three days before Smith was found, and during all that tiine he had lain in the broiling sun and. without’ water. Smith was found on the night of July o, and was taken to what was know: as McPherson's Barn.

One surgeon told nim the large intestine had been twice eut, and that he would die within a few hours. It was also found that his blad- der had been punctured. On the following morning Smith was moved to a warehouse !n Gettysburg where his comrades fed him. He was finally taken to the home Rober Sheads, where he remained wu Octo- ber. 1864.

Hidden by Wateriall, Extraordinary Cavern in Indian Territory Kills Men Who SecK to Explore Its Mysteries. ORE wonderful and = territve than anything that has come out of the Southwest in a long time the report- brought in to Davis, a town are of the Indian Territory, by a party of local explorers which has just emerged from the Cave of Leath. They went in to search for the body of George Curtain, who left Davis last August to look for gold in the cave. He was ad vised that other men had lost their lives vent ing into this little known but much dreaded place. but he was unafraid, and slipped away. He neve returned. The Cave of Death swallowed him wp. as it had swallowed adventurous and foolhardy me! before him. A few days ago Matthew Duhr of Davis heade:' a movement to go to the cave and search for Cur tain’s body. The man had been almost a strange in Davis, but there was a growing feeling tha! the mystery of what happened should be solved, ot at least investigated to the extent of Jetermining that he had not been murdered. ‘Several young men accompanied Duhr. The) were gone several days, and when they returned they brought Curtain’s hat. So much they had found, but no more of him; but they had looked mto a wonderland of which Davis had neve) dreamed. fIt was known about the little plains city that there was # sitigularly-hidden ¢ave entrance be- hind the veil of Turner’s Falls, over on the Wichita River; eight miles from town; that in early days this ‘hidden” place had been the rendezvous of a gang of moonshiners whose hiding place had long escaped detection, though marshals had sought long for them and their still; and that several men. had sought to explore the depths of the cave, but had never returned to tell what they found. But the people of Davjs and the country around had no idea that, virtually under their feet, extends a great and wonderful and terrible cavern which, if it is to fulfill all it promised to the eyes of Duhr and his companions, must invite discovery as the most remarkable underground phenomenon in the United “States. Duhr and his friends wandered in the great cav- ern for two days. They stumbled upon the exit when they thought themselves lost. They were at first too much absorbed in the wonders revealed to take proper precautions against losing their way. They erept around back of the waterfall, crawled through the man-hole entrance upon hands anc knees, and descended into a chamber in which they him | could stand upright. Lateral hails Jed out of this, and they followed the largest of these out into a huge and high- roofed room. Here were the dead fires of the old moonshiners, who had vanished behind the falls and laughed in their secret place while mounted marshals rode thunderously overhead. Here they had known the company of » woman, doubtless, for Duhr picked up a lady’s shoe. The moonshiners, apparently, had never penetrated beyond this large room; at least Duhr and his friends, who went into the depths of the place, found no further trace of them. The signs of men they did see were of prehistoric people who made rude pictographs upon the limestone walls. A thousand feet from the entrance the explorers found a sloping cliff running down into the black these the Neur the top of the stairway, indicating that its owner must depth. of at vreat abves.

Mr. Bernard Shaw, to knock the conceit out of mankind, and he has achieved this at no small personal sacrifice. Twenty-five years ago a Mr. Bernard Shaw wrote a novel, called “The Irrational Knot,” and to the recent edition of the work the present Mr. Bernard Shaw says in the preface. “At present, of course, | am not the author of ‘The Irrational Knot.’ Physiologists in- form us that the substance of our bodies—and consequently of our souls—is shed and renewed at such a rate that no part of us lasts longer than eight years. I am, therefore, not now in any atom of me the person who @rote ‘The Ir- rational Knot’ jn 1880. The last of that author perished in 1888, and two of his successors have since joined the majority. Fourth of his line, I cannot be expected to take any very lively inter- est in the novels. of my literary great-grandfa- ther.” As mere laymen, it is no duty of ours to ques- tion the cenclusions arrived at by physiologists. We must sceept things and circumstanees as we find them; and if one of our cleverest authors is courageous enohigh to disclaim some of his best works, surely others must see that much of the hener shown te them fs misplaced. Mr. Shaw has set a fashion which seems likely to tie humanity into an irrationa) knot. For in- stance, take the married man who makes a boast of having heen married 40 years and brought up a family of 10 children, and see what vain egotism he indulges in. As a matter of fact, he is not married at all. He is merely the fifth in line of the man who married, and the probabilities are Sunday Magazine ST. LOUIS WHO YOU ARE? that there is not ah atom left of several of the original children of the marriage. The eldest @hil- dren of the family are, so to speak, orphans, and should be able to gain admittance, if they de- sired, to those institutions for the parentless. When this theory fs accepted as a substantia! faet we shall. of course, hear neo more about the question of pensions. The Ameriean politicians who can gain the support of the eleetors on this eight years’ lease of life theory will have done more for the United States than anyone else in the history of the nation. That country has more Civil War pensioners than there were men engaged. in the campaign, and yet every man is drawing money from the (rovernment for services rendered by others. There is not @ man living who fought in the Civil War; and, looking closer home, how can we possibly have Crimean vet- erans?! The hardest part of the irrational knot Mr. Bernard Shaw hat tied tor us, however, is in respect to our eriminal law.

T. a tn Beans of Ancient Engineers. » NMISTAKABLE evidence exists that 25 years ago certain Hebrew engineers (in the time of King Heze-Kiah) executed exactly the same kind of work which was carried out in the Simplon tunnel, though perhaps on a slightly smaller scale. Dr. Bertholet, a professor at the University of Basle, is the gentleman who claims to have made this discovery. The Jewish records state that King Heze-Kiah, or Ezekias, who reigned at Jerusalem 727 B. C., was much troubled at the bad state of the water supplied to the people of that city. He ac- cordingly had a vast reservoir made at the gates of the city, water was fed from various springs lying at greater or less distances from the to which reservoir in question. At first his project seemed doomed to failure, as there existed between Jerusalém and the springs from which the water was to be derived a high ‘chain of hills, over which it would be impossible to convey the water. It was therefore determined to open a passage for the water through the solid rock. One of the Sirach MSS. dating from this peried atates in this co “tleze- Kiah fortified his city by bringing ¥ ste, and he bored through the solid rock by } t bronze, and he collected the water in a reser Recent exploration of the Simplon to be \ to be the Shiloah tum: ™ » anabled this predecessor gh'v identified.

The distamce, as ! re ae, spetwem the two mouths of the tunnel is also only 360 yards, whieh proves that the work was not executed in a per- fectly straight line—due doubtless to the diffi- culties which the engineers eneountered in their task, which (for the period) was of a really marvel- eus nature. That the work was commenced from both ends of the tunnel is not only proved by the inscription, but also by the fact that the marks of the boring tools, picks, ete.. may still be seen, all bearing in opposite directions.

Surprising Report on City’s Attempt to Light Its' Own Buildings--Entire Plant Pays for Itself in Short Time--Its Super- intendent Tells in Detail How Novel Scheme Has Worked Oul. OR more than two years past St. Louis has been operating a municipal lighting plant, furnishing light to city build- ings: In that time the theory of municipal has been put to a practieal and exhaustive test right here at tyome and has shown remarkable results.

MATRIMONIAL PLUNGES IN THE DAR O THE cynic who considers matrimony, even of sympathy led gradually to the more tender and under the most favorable conditions, an ex- periment full of risk, it must seem little short of madness for a man to link his life with a woman whom he has never once set eyes on; and yet the venture has been made more than once with happy results. It was only quite recently that a young mer- chant of Amsterdam met for the first time, as his wife, a lady whom until the moment of meeting he never even seen. This singular matrimonial romance—by no means unusual in the Netherlands —came about thus. Some years ago the brother of the bridegroom had gone out to South Africa to practice medicine, and had lost his heart to the pretty daughter of a brother physician in Cape had Colony. and before two years had elapsed the girl had become engaged to the of her dead fiance, 6000 miles and more away. After a years engagement, as the lover in Holland saw no prospect of leaving his business long enough to fetch his bride, the marriage ceremony was performed by proxy in South Africa and the bride immediately started for Holland to meet the husband whom she had not yet seen in the flesh. A good many years ago a man fell hopelessly 1" love with the portrait of a young lady, the daugh- ter of a wealthy Lancashire merchant, which he saw on the walls of Burlington House. He sought out the artist and from him learned that the orig- inal of the picture which had enslaved his fancy was ‘ntimate sentiment of love; brother she packed up her belongings and went home, Lancashire and toe other places the love-sick mam followed her, but the maiden was reiestieotsaaaall zs at last, in despair, he returned to London and end: ed a life which had become valueless to him.

' Had the motive been robbery the result offered .all the opportunity the wreckers could have de- sired. The train was brought down with a crash in utter darkness; cars were laid open in wide- spread confusion; the express car caught fire; chaos invited pillage, but there was none, and no one saw or heard anything of criminals. It was plain -that this terrible crime had some other motive, and the railroad people immediately con- . vineed that it had been done by the same per- sons who had made four prior attempts within the immediate living in that part of the country, but that the wreckers oe yy \ do the work.

How to Make Big Profits Raising Birds for Market in New Industry in the West---Some Local Breeders. ; . | | HAT business can I engaye ir ‘ “any e 4 less than two-thirds as much to feed a pair of — pigeons from the time they Legin to eat to the time they begin to raise young as it does in the same time thereafter. Figuring that it costs $1 to feed & 32 pair of old birds while they are raising young, it will, then, cost you about 35 cents a pair to feed your =~ pigeons from the squab to the breeding age. If you had sold them as squabs you would haye received 50 to 75 cents for them. If you keep them, five =~ months longer and feed them 35 cents more you con” 2 sell them for from $1.50 to $3. | a Just why this is not the most profitable branch — f the business does not appear to a new beginner, — and, as a matter of fact, squab raisers will tell you — that it is at the present time. There is a big de mand for breeders. Frank H. Shonts, before quoted, had occasion recently to sell some of his birds after — selling his home, and hefore he settled in a new lo- cation. He advertised them in the Post-Dispatch and in a pigeon journal, and had orders for many — times the number he offered for sale. Similar experi: — ences are common with people who advertise breed- ers for sale. - But pigeons for breeding purposes, squab raisers explain, are being purchased by peoplé who afe en gaged in the business or who propos@ going into it: The demand for squabs is. wider. It comes from peo- ple who eat them, and the more-they eat the mom they want. There are a number of squab-faising — enthusiasts in St. Louis, most of them in the buei- ness in a small way, a few having a good lot--of birds. None of them ever find trouble in disposing that will be at once profitable and interesting and can be carried on without interfer- ing with my regular employ- ment’ That is a question thousands of city people ask — themselves every day.

A remarkable fact should be borne in. mind in this connection. When you have fed'your old birds you have also fed the young.

You don’t have to make an expensive investment in land. Ruildings are small and simple. The birds are not objectionable to your neighbors, as chickens some- Himes are, but, on the contrary, a pen of squab- @iging pigeons is usually the center of interested admiration for the whole neighborhood. There is a market for squabs at all seasons of the year, and they can be raised in any climate, cold or hot, with equal success. In St. Louis they do particularly ell, requiring practically no extraordinary atten- 1 len when the changes of season come. *, St. Louis Demand for Squabs. ».

They sell at 50, 60 and ‘76 cents @ pair in the local market, when they are four to five weeks old, and a pair of pigeons will see from seven to ten equabs a year.

This condition also keeps the dining car companies operating out of St. Louis from placing squabs on their bills of fare. A visit to the office of a dining car company brought the information that they would be glad to have squabs and would pay good prices for them, but they do not want a smal! num- ber.

Likewise, practically all of the larger ho- tels and cafes of the city will agree to take a specified number of squabs at a good price—never under 560 cents a pair, and usually over—if you will convince the manager that you can furnish him with all the squabs his patrons will eat. But 1! you have only a half dozen pairs of squabs a day, er even fifteen or twenty a day, to offer the dining car and hotel buyers, you cannot do a very satis- factory business with them. They inight be able to fill their bill of fare from several different sources, but that is too complicated, uncertain and expensive @ proceeding. However, the St. Louis man with a half dozen to fifteen or twenty squabs per day is not left without a market because the big hotels and the dining car companies cannot use his comparatively small out- put. As a matter of fact, if you have a squab “plant” that will turn out from half a dozen to twenty squabs a day you have a well developed busi- ness. That means from 30 te 100 squabs a week for the market, allowing for the ones you eat your- self, the ones you save to sell later as breeders, and the ones you save to increase your own flock. And these, at the lowest probable price you would be offered for them—50 cents « pair—would bring you in from %7.50 to $25 a week. It is more likely, however, that the man who goes into the squab business’ on his back lot will start with much less output than half a dozen squabs a day. One beauty of the business is that there is no minimum point at which you «ed sta.t in squab raising, lf you have only « > pair of pigeons they will raise you from seven ‘> ten pairs of squabs in the vear, vud those seven oy ten squabs ean be disposed of at practically the tasne margin of profit as would be the case if you | ad 50 pairs of pigeons at work. But a room 10x12 is considered ample for from 50 to 100 pairs of birds, so that the extent you can carry on the business in limited quar- ters is thus readily and concretely shown. Cost of a Pigeon House. To build a house with nests, water troughs and all conveniences will cost, according to an approxt- mate estimate made by Frank N. Sohns, 715 Locust street, who has what has been termed “a model pigeon house,” about §1 per pair of birds. This av- erage cost would be lessened in the case of a large number of birds, and would not be increased pro- portionately to any great extent, if at ell, if quar- ters were being constructed for a smaller number. Cost of quarters is largely a matter of individual selection, however, and the amount of money you spend depends to a certain degree to your own judgment and ingenuity. A high estimate is that it will cost $l a year per pair to feed the old birds. Even in St. Louis, where the city man would prob- ably be compelled te buy his feed in small quanti- ties, it is doubtful if the feed bill amounts te more than this estimate, for this is a land where the feed required is native. If one went into squad raising to the extent that he could afford to buy feed at wholesale prices, the cost of keeping a for maintenance, except in the indirect way that you feed its parents. Old birds require more food while raising young, but the estimate of $1 a year is made for working pigeons. Many people put the estimate as low as 50 cents per year per pair, but it is desired to treat the subject conservatively here. At a cost of $1.50 te $8 per pair for breeders, or St. Louis Squab Situation at a Glance. Demand exceeds supply. Owing to peculiar local conditions, demand and price will increase with supply. Present h1:eeders: find ready market for all they raise. Pair of pigeons cost $1.50 to $3; will raise from seven to ten pairs of squabs. Squabs will sell at 50 to 75 cénts a pir. Parent pigeons continue fo raise «juabs for ten vears. Squabs require no feed; parent Lirds feed them with “pigeon milk” until they ere ready for market. Varent pigeons can be fed at a maximum vost of $1 per pair per year. You can raise squabs in your back yard. Homing pigeons raise the best squabs. an average of $2.25 per pair, estimating $1 ptr pair for houses, troughs, etc., and allowing $1 for feed for the old birds, for the first year a pair of squab- raising pigeons would cost $4.25. On the other hand, they will raise from seven to ten pairs of squabs. These will sell at present market, for from 50 to 75 cents per pair. At an average of eight and one-half pairs each year and an average price of 60 cents per pair, your returns would amount to $5.10, leaving you an earning of 85 cents on each pair of pigeons the first year, counting the cost of your birds and of a place to keep them as a part of the first year’s expense. Profits After First Year. Your pens and heures will de service for many years, of course, and your pigeons, having paid for themselves and their home the first year, besides earning you a nice profit, will continue to raise just as good squabs for the next eight or ten years as they did at first. After the first year yeu have nothing to figure as expenses other than the cost of feeding your birds, for there is # bye product which will more than keep up little repeirs and ordinary expenses. And (this being a conservative estimate) you may do even better than is pointed out here. For instance, there is apparently absolutely no doubt in the minds of St. Leuis squab raisers about the market prices of squabs getting better as the num- ber raised here becomes greater. Where they not get from $3 a dozen up for squabs they expect to get mot less than $4 a dozen for them when the market is well supported, and as much as $5.50—the latter a price at which a New York comnmi@esion merchant recently advertised for unlimited quanti- ties and failed, even with that price and latitude, to get as many as he wanted. If you happen to get the high instead of the av- erage yfrice on your squabs—which, aecording to men familiar with the local condition of market and squab raising say is more likely than that you will get the lew price—then your birds have paid for themselves the first year and made you enormous interest cn your investment. As if these possibilities were not sufficiently al- luring to the man of small means—and small back yard—there is another branch of this business which looks extremely profitable to one inclined teward it. If you keep your breeders until they are five or six months old you can sell them for breeding purposes for from $1.50 to $3 a pair, aecording to their condition. And if some of your birds have developed into good flyers you may win some valua- ble prizes with them and get a fancy price if you care to sell them. Homing Pigeons for Table Use. Homing pigeons make the best squab raisers, and homers are the ones that are constantly in demand for racers and carriers. It costs proportionately ply. Hospitals, clubs. and private families take ..: 0 t of the squabs raised in St. Louis today. Se e, 1 men who raise only a few a week sell the whole o |- put to private families, who are their regalar cus tomers. The hospital trade, they says. is susecptil’e to the same cultivation possible in the hotel trade. — Squabs have been hurt somewhat, although not seriously, considered in a large way, by substitut’ on the local markets. Old pigeons that have met death in shooting contests are brought in and soll to the more or less unsuspecting restaurant keeper. and he serves them as squab. Compared to squab meat, the meat of an old pigeon bears about the same relation as that of a fried owl to a nice spring But pigeon meat is pretty good, and the man who gets it served him as squab end doesn know the difference, having never eaten squab, meu-* ally thinks it a pretty desitable item on the bllef = pullet. fare and looks for it next time. le Squab, in turn, is frequently served as quail, by many people is censidéred more desirable than a quail.

His plan is to lodge wi ‘he polar ice and drift to the Pole upon anorthw: pelar current. He has spent five years in the Arctic, and is convinced that there is such a current. His proposition was to sail northward to a junction with it at about the 170th parallel of west longitude. Mr. Rilliett’s plan was not received with much enthusiasm when he announced it three months ago. St. Louisans had never backed such an undertaking. and one scheme for reaching the North Pole looked to them pretty much like another. But the discov- ery upon the coast of Iceland puts a new and promising face upon the whole matter. It com- mands respect for Mr. Rilliett as an explorer, who knew what he was talking about. . The presence of the cask where it was recently _found.. proves; to the satisfaction of science, that the northwest polar current to the Goal of Goals, which Mr. Rilliett had foreseen, is an actual phe- nomenon which invites attack upon the Pole by this new route and promises more than anything else that«has developed out of Jong study of this tre- mendous subject. Rilliett’s fri .ds, many of whom are experienced explorers who sc.ved with him upon both the Zieg- ler expeditions, consider that, inasmuch as he had anticipated the eask in pointing this natural way to the..Pole, he should have the first crack at it. They believe that what has happened should not enable someone else to rob him of his thunder, but that {¢ should be the means of boesting him along. The practicability of his theory has been almost unanswerably proven in a manner as emphatic as it was unforeseen. - He has now a means of effectively combatting any presumption that he is a visionary. He can discard & great deal of the decumentary evidence which he has prepared to lay before wealthy men whose aid he sought, and may now make almost his entire case.with the one big fact of the discovery of the cage upon the coast of Iceland. a Here in St. Louis Mr. Rilliett’s friends feel that. he éffers a wonderful opportunity to St, Louis.

They point out that less roseate promises bring forth many such subscriptions in the East and in other countries. Why not in St. Louis, with this splendid chance? Given an equipment, there is no reasen that Mr. Rilliett’s friends can see why he should not become the object of great expectations. He is in all] re- spects an expert in Arctic matters. He has lon: ago chosen his crew from the ranks of those wit! whom he was associated upon the Ziegler expedi. tions. He would have none but men tempered iu the Arctic blasts, some of them brought over here from Norway, Denmark and Sweden because of Mr. Rilliett’s profound respect for the exceptional value of thease Norsemen in this sort of work. He would const®uct at Seattle or San Franciscc a ship especially designed for work in the ice. He would take only half as many men as Ziegler’s expe- ditions took, and would demand that even his sci- entific staff be hard-knit, practical fellows who can pull on an oar or push a sledge.

He says this necessity is so great that a leader can. not afford to take chances upon a@ single individual. This is the reason he would organize his foree en- tirely with men whom he has seen stand up to the work in the aetual field. Avetie work is like nothing else. It is cold. It is dangerous.

Mr. Rilliett wants only men who love the Arctic as a polar bear loves it and who won't whimper when the Arctic penalizes them for this expensive infatuation. o eo * The cask picked up on the coast of Iceland is of peculigr form and ice-proofed, with steel] hoops.

DIRECTIONS. The purpose of the game is to arrange the twenty picture séctions numbered from 5 to 100 in the blank squares under the. word “Bing,”’ using the five sec- tions in the upper left-hand corner as a pattern. Cut out thd twenty picture sections and the sixteen squares numbered from 1 to 16. Mix these squares to- gether face downwards on the table, Each player then draws one square and the one getting the highest number has the first play, the one with the second highest number the second play and so on. The first player chooses the picture section withthe highest number and places it in the blank square where it belongs. ‘I’ne second player takes the section with the next highest number and the game pro- ceeds thus until each person has played once. Then the numbered squares are mixed together and the play is continued as described until the blank sectioms are all filed. The numbets on the picture sections are recorded as the plays are made and at the end the player having the largest total of these numbers wins the game. Should any player fail to place his picture section in the proper square he loses the number on that section and forfeits his turn.
