A portion of the tackle also struck Peter Macovich, cutting his forehead. The block was fastened to a window sill of the main building, 75 feet from the ground, and Delmar stood beneath it directing the half-inch rope which passed through the pulley. A sudden slacking of the rope caused the hook which held the tack!e biock to become loosened from the sill, and it fell, striking elmar squarely on the head. Eight men were working near by on a platform overhanging the river. The falling hook and rope partly de- molished this platform, but none of the other workmen was injured.

Mrs. Marie Cool Sterling filed suit for divorce Friday in Cireuit Court against Howard Webster Sterling, now serving a term in the Workhouse with Miss Minnie Church on charges pre- ferred by his wife. Attorney Henry B. Davis represents Mrs. Sterling. The suit is the aftermath of a roman- tic courtship in a Michigan prison, where Sterling was serving a term for forgery, and later sensational incidents in st. Louis, when Mrs. Sterling, after tracing her husband here from Michi- gun, followed him and Miss Church about the and appeared in Court of Criminal Correction to prosecute them Mrs. , Sterling is years daughter of a retired army Ypsilanti, Mich., and asks in tion that her maiden name be restored to her. She suys her husband is “able to earn $100 a month when out of Jail,’ and asks for proper alimony and costs of the suit. The petition recites that Mr. Sterling were married July 2, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and that lived together until Sept. 4, 1905. says that after that time her busband came to St. Louis with Minnie Church, and thut they ilved at the Albany apart- ments, 4873 Page boulevard, from Sept. 7 to Dec.

It is not a certainty that the the proceedings can be conclu d be fore the return of the Attorney-General to Missouri. He is ma a St. Louis next Tuesday to argue in the United States Court concern=: ing the right of the New York Life Insurance Co. to do bie. in Missouri, The argument in the Rogers case was to have been held Justice Gildersleeve this morning. At the last minute a new k wyer r was sprung on Attorney-General a William J. Curt, “p ner of the energetic Mr. Rowe, Mr. Curtis had a case in the appellate division, which sits in Madison Square, two miles from the county Courthouse. He maintained that he/ should argue in ithe appellate division case before tak- ing up the Rogers case, and the Court sustained him on the ground that it was a previous professional engage- ment. The Rogers argument was finally post- poned until Mr. Curtis should be through in the appellate division this afternoon. “TI am getting used to these obstruc- tion tactics,”” Mr. Hadley Said grimly, as he left the courtroom, ‘‘but they can't tire me out or scare me off. If they escape just now I will get after them again as soon as I have time. I will remain here if I can arrange it, but that is doubtful.” In the answer prepared by H. H.

announced by Secretary MeConk public hearings. | When the kearing were § (first an- nounced by the Mayor, the Joint Free Bridge and Bond Issue Committee at once declared that they would not at- tend them. “The Terminal Commis- gion.” said Mr. Ziebold, father of the free bridge bill advocated by the com- mittee to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “‘has heard the Terminal Association in se- cret meetings. Now they want us to go up there and show our hand at a public hearing. We know we cannot get fair play from the Commission. Consequently, we will not make fools of ourselves by appearing before them.” Secretary McConkey said that the § hearings were at an end because all who thad asked to be heard had ap- peared before the Commission. It was common talk, however, at City Hai! a Friday, that the boycotting of the hear- ings by the Joint Free Bridge and Bond Issue Committee, and the somewhat ridiculous scene Thursday, the real causes. The Municipal Bridge and Terminal Conreission, which has hitherto en- joved a most peaceful existence, certain- ly passed a strenuous hour at Thursday afternoon's session. The affair pro- voked much pious mirth among the critics of the Commission at City Hall Friday. | Attendance Has Been Small. The verbal melee, followed by Mayor Wells’ explanation, was all the more dramatic as it was unexpected. At the first two hearings the ,speakers had, with one exception, refrained from making any mention of a free bridge, “and had spent most of their time in throwing bouquets at the Commission. e As a result there were not over a dozen men outside of the Commission in the Board of Public Improvements room. Tne session was to begin at 2:30 p. m., but the Mayor waited until 2:45 with the hope thet there would be more in attendance. YT. G. Watts, a real estate dealer, was the first speaker calleq. The Mayor said in introducing him that in response to a letter from’Mr. Watts asking to be heard the Commission would take great pleasure in listening to an expression of his views. Mr. Watts is a very tall man of large’ frame. He has a mass of hair and very large eyeglasses. As he spoke he shook his head a great deal, and pointed his finger at the different mem- bers of the Commission, all of which gave him a rather imposing appearance. Began on Bridge Question. é He started his speech with a history : of the bridge question. He gave in detail the history of the Eads and Mer- chants’ Bridges. At the rate he started out it seemed as if he would get to the ~ subject under discussion in two or three hours. The members of the Commission first lovked amused. Then they looked bored.

began. to see then how long I had been out of the world—out there in the dark, you know—on the other side of the line—that’s what it was like. “Well, after that I got along fast. It was just a question of getting my strength back; you know after I went, crazy I lost 60 pounds in two months. Queer how a little piece of bone pressing on the brain could do that to a man— and four years after the bone was frac- tured. But I got well fast, and in two weeks was at home with wife and the kids. Two months later I went to work on the force, and I’ve been walking my beat ever since. _ Like a Nightmare. “Pretty close call? Yes, but you have to take a chance on the force. Now that it’s all over it seems pretty much like a nightmare when I think about it. But I shiver every time I remember how close I came to going to an asylum for the rest of my life—which wouldn’t have been long, I guess.”’ At a banquet given in Meder’s honor Wednesday evening at Missouri Athletic Club Dr. Joseph E. Chambers presented him the section of bone chiseled from = skull, amid the applause of half a ozen friends who had gathered to cele- brate the officer’s return to reason. Dr. Chambers, ‘in explaining the operation to a Post-Dispatch reporter, said: “So many alienists and neurologists had said Meder was incurable that I would not undertake the case until a guardian had been appointed by the Pro- bate Court, so that consent to an op- eration could be legally given. I looked at the case as a surgeon, which is prob- ably the reason I was so certain of my diagnosis, notwithstanding the op- posing opinions of specialists 1n men- tal derangements. First Court Case Recorded. “It was probably the first time the courts of St. Louis County were ever appealed to in order to perform an op- eration to save a man’s life. I at told that when John T. Bannon asked to be relieved of the guardianship it was pronounced the first occasion of the kind in the courts here—-a guardian for a man pronounced incurably insane never having been relieved before ex- cept in case of death, “It took four years for the bone to thicken to such an extent under the fracture as to rob Meder of his reason. It was like this: If you have a bank account and ovedraw a dollar every month, that bank account will finally give out, although it may take a long time. Meder was subjected to a con- Stantly increasing mental strain. He finally became a mental bankrupt. “His case Was diagnosed as acute de- mentia, or softening of the brain. I became conyinced that the blow four years before had resulted in a bone pressure which hindered the circulation of blood through the brain and inter- fered with the cerebral convolutions. ““Meder was on the table two hours. I chiseled out a section of the right parietal eminence, two inches from the crown. This section was an inch wide and an inch and a half long. 6 Circulation Restored. “That relieved the pressure. as simple as could be. The circulation was restored, mental processes no longer affected. It was simply a ques- tion of giving Meder time to get back his strength. His mental faculties came with it. “The bone grew together again and Meder is iow as sane ond sound as be- fore he received that blow.” The affray in which Meder was hurt occurred the night of July 15, 1901. He was stationed in Soulard Street District at that time and placed John and Joseph Botz under arrest for a disturbance. They resisted, and John Botz, ramming his head into the of- ficer’'s stomach, knocked him to the ground. Meder lost his club in the fall. John Botz leaped on him. Joe, standing beside him, struck him on the head With the club. The prostrate officer drew his revolver and fired three times. The first shot struck Joe Botz in the abdomen. John Botz escaped. Joe Botz died almost instantly. Meder did not lose consciousness. He was taken to City Dispensary and a scalp wound more than two inches long treated. After that he walked his beat regularly un- til his mind gave way. The operation It was

la Was performed July 18, 1905, at Mis- Souri Baptist Sanitarium. where Dr. Chambers had the policeman taken. That was just four years and three ays after Meder's.skull was frac- tured, The Police Department paid all the surgical expenses, and did not discon- tinue Meder’s pay.

No other event in the history of the Federation of Women’s Clubs ever caused such a stir as-did the marriage of Prof. Gunton and Mrs. Lowe. For many years she had been one of the most conspicuous women in clubdom, and the scandal, as the club women called it, came at a time when she had achieved the highest honor the federa- tion could give her. She was made president of the federa- “ition at its annual convention in Les Angeles in 19%. Prof. Gunton attended the convention and addressed several meetings. Though well past 50, Mrs. Lowe was 2 handsoine woman. She pos- sessed a large fortune. Club Women Slighted Her.

Still, iack of knowledge ot the boxing rules of the Amateur Ath-| letic Union lent a humorous aspect to the events that were appreciated by the spectators present in the old Pickwick Fiall.. Mal Doyle. who officiated as referee, insisted upon toiling off the seconds in an approved professional manner on Abe Altman when the latter was knocked down. The A. «&. UU. dves not provide for the count in its code of rules. The two judges. Messrs.. Marks and Meier, sat together, and after each bout would compare notes before announcing their decision. The A. A. U. rules pro- vide that the judges shall sit at oppo- site sides of the ring and announce their decision to the referee by ballot. However, critic'sm cannot be directed at the entertainment wholly on account ‘ of the officials’ tack of compliance with amateur rules because there was at least one feture about the ment that was not amateurish and it is doubtful if A. A. U. rules-apply in tne CAse. Thig was the appearance of a sturdy young boxer introduced to the spectators as William Vandamant. Mr..

He was afeared, he said, married all of them women under a spell. Some evil-minded person passed the word that Graham, the handsome tick- et-seller, was a bachelor, and the girls chased him into his cage, where - he lcowered. The train caller thought he would be pursued next, and climbed out on a window sill. For a half hour before the train came there was an awful jam on both floors of the station. Women were packed in so tightly that they could not move a step. And still they came in a procession that reached to Fourth street.

The populace of Granite City was gathered at: the station there when the train arrived, and there were wild cheers. . Some youths who had conspired to snowball the widows and bachelor Sirls threw up their hands and quit when they saw the crowd. _ Several hundred bachelors, ranging in years from 15 to 50, were gathered As the invading army moved up the Street toward the Fleishman-McNary Hall, bachelor sharpshooters were busy,. picking them off one by one. The gir:is were not overlooking any bets themselves. They rushed and surrounded everything that looked as if it might be a bachelor or might ever become one. “This one is’ mine.” exclaimed a handsome young woman as she rushed up and grabbed a Granite City youth who looked as if he had never been grabbed by any feminine hands ex- cept his mother’s in his life. The youth’s hair went on end and

Before he could protest that he had done nothing to deserve this, another girl grabbed the other side of him. “TIT saw it first,” she declared, and to pull that When he got free he started for the hills. “I wonder why Archie don’t come,” wailed a girl in a red hat, standing on the depot platform.

As the crowd. passed up the paved street, ignoring the sidewalks, a Granite City girl, of which species there are said to be several in existence, was dis- covered under an electric light. She made disparaging allusions to the 8st. Louls widows and orphans as they passed along. ‘At the main hall there was a crush, aggravated by a controversy .which arose between the man at the cloakroom

window and a widow who wanted to check her baby. He was one of the bachelors. In the first place he did not know what a baby was, except by hear- Say, and in the second place he didn‘ know how to use one, so he refused to have anything to do with it, and the

baby was not checked. | This mother was not the Franklin , avenue widow who wrote letters to all of the bache.ors whose pictures were printed in the Post-Dispatch, and con- fided to all that she had a | beautiful 3-year-old child.

When she took the midnight train for home a Granite City bachelor was wa.k- ing alongside, carrying the beautifu; child. And the look the widow gave the girls who went home alone was worth going to Granite City to see.

MOTHER ILL, GIRL TOILS AT SPINDLE Court to Hear Story of Julia Palecek, Mill Worker, Aged 138.

Over the. A test of the child labor law is to be made in the Court of Criminal Correc- tion. im the case of the State of Mis- souri against €. A. Young, general supctrintendent of the Southern Cotton Mills. where many girls are employed in the manufacture of wheat and flour bags. Julia Palecek, ‘‘almost 13," and Annie Oertle, ‘“‘just past 13,"’ are the subjects of the proceedings against Young. Julia is the daughter and only support of Mrs. Sorhia Palecek, a widow of 2107 Lismarck street. Annie Oertle’s parents are Henry and Amelia Oecertle of 2436 South Second street. Julia says she would rather go to school than work, but she needs food and clcthing more than education. Work for her is a necessity, learning, how- ever little, a luxury which she has small hope of obtaining. Two hours before the ‘‘first bell’’ has rung to call Julia's former playmates to their books in Humboldt School, op- posite her home, she has begun her long day's labor in the factory. And not unti! two hours after the laggards among the Humboldt’s hundred chil- dren have forgotten blackboard and slate, does Julia quit her place at the inachine. Forty minutes for a cold and meager lunch is the oasis in Julia’s pilgrimage through her 10 hours of toil. There are few holidays at the Southern Cotton Mills, and those that come are unwel- come to Julia, because they make her little envelope leaner. Tolls for #2.50 a Week. At the end of the week, if Julia has been faithful and steady, she receives $2.50. Extraordinary punctuality and at- tention is sometimes rewarded by a bo- nus of 25. cents. The case against Young 1s the result of a visit made to the mills by a dep- uty factory inspector and Truant Officer Quinn. Several] children were found working at chines. For various reasens prosecu- tion in the other cases was not under- taken. Annie Oertle's par send her to school. her place at the m engaged in ‘‘doff.:ng” : ahe returned to her studies. She has ince n raduated from the sixih Soude.-the highest at Humboldt Schoo! —and transferred to Madison School. “I'd rather be in schoo: studying than in that old factory,” said Annie, Friday to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “I only worked because pupa was sick for a long time and needed help. Now he is working, and I can go to school again. F. Button, overseer of the depart- ment in which the little girls are em- ployed, decidea that Julia Palecek could continue in the factory under the clause of the law permitting children who are the support of dependent parents to work. under statutory age the big ma- ents were notified to They took her fron achine where she was the bobbi..s. and Mother Can Do Little.

Tne exact opposite Mrs. Nage Mrs. FrankePavelec of 3216 Ohio avenue, whose husband is suing for a divorce on the ground that she did not speak to him for seven months. She told Post-Dispatch reporter Friday she will fight the suit. contending that if talking too much is a woman's greatest failing, silence is the c2pstone of fem- inine perfection. While her tongue was still, she found an outiet for the expression of her thoughts ‘by Keeping a diary, a little gray buvok, which she says she will in- troduce in court if her husband persists in che presecution of his suit. On the pages of this little book, she Says. will be found explanation of the oppiessive stiliness which pervaded their three-room flat since last May. Mrs. Pave.ee’s diary will show that, while a talking woman is not practical, only svlitude and silent contemp. ation is needed to direct the thoughts of the eternai feminine into channels where figures of arithmetic speak louder thun figures of speech. Neatly penned columns in Mrs. Pave- lec's book show how love was balanced against the dollar mark and demon- strates that $ a week is not regarded by this silent wife as sufficient payment for a first-class brand of domestic con- versation. No Talk for $5 a Week. Mrs. Pavelec is a good talker, but she was unwilling to waste lingual sweet- ness on the desert air of a $-a-week ex- istence. When this amount was reduced tu $2, her lips became tighter than those of a Sphinx; and 80 inured to silence did she become that she wouldn't have uttered a sound even if she had seen a mouse. Mrs. Pavelec says that last May, aft- er a quarrel in which all of her surplus stock of conversation was used up, she and her husband made an agreement under the terms of which she and her 8-year-old son, Norman, were to occu- py the kitchen and middle room of the flat and Pavelec was to have undis- puted possession of the parlor. This agreement, she says, contained a clause which said that, in consideraiion of her service in cooking his meals and looking after his rooms, Pavelec was to give his wife $3 a week. It was at this point that Mrs. Pave-

But why does the Mavor think that the railroads should not be pushed too hard? The railroads have been hard on §t. Louis through arbitrary charges which are admittedly unjust and oppressive. The railroad managers have confessed that the arbitrary charges are wrong. All of the business men of St. Louis, with the exception of a iew who seem to be specially favored by the Terminal Association, agree that the bridge arbitrary is unjust, oppressive and injurious to the business of St. Louis. The Mavor admits that the bridge arbitrary is wrong: why does he defend its continuance? Is it ever possible to push too hard against injustice? Is it ever possisble too vigorously to assail any man or set of men or corporation or combination which persists in an ad- mitted hold-up? All of the unprejiudiced, ageous husmess men of St. Louis agree that the bridge arbitrary is oppressive and injurious to the interests of the oity and to the interests of the rail- roads. Mr. John I. Beggs, who is at the head of a public service corporation in St. Lonis and other cities, and whose skill and capacity as a business man cannot ke questioned, referred to the policy on the part of the railroads in maintaining the bridge arbitrary as short sighted and as working as much injury to the railroads as to the city. This is the view of all men who are not blinded by graft or favor. The vital question, which’ must be settléd before any other question is touched, is that of fair terms. St. Louis wants facilities, but it does not want them on terms which are injurious to the business of the city. Facilities under oppressive conditions ere a mockery. St. Louis is willing to grant any reasonable opportunities for increased facili- ties which are genuine opportunities to inereass business. We want fair conditions for fair grants of franchises.

Sree ce, on - MR. WIXFORD’S COMPENSATION. The claim set up in Mr. Wixford’s behalf for large compensation from the city for his invaluable dis- covery is supported in some quarters with unthink- ing enthusiasm. An analysis of the claim will show that there is _ meither legal nor ethical ground for a great money compensation. Mr. Wixford was employed by the city as a | chemist. While in that service he pursued his in- vestigations and made the experiments which re- sulted in clarifying the water. He earned the grati- tude of every St. Louisan. His name should be en- rolled among the benefactors of the city and some : token of honor or esteem should be granted him. _ But he did not earn great money reward. ‘The chemists in the service of the United States - Government give their genius for their salary, and _ whatever invention or discovery results from their ~ labors goes to the Government. It is so in all de- partments of the public service. Does anybody - $magine that Abraham Lincoln’s service to his coun- 4 ty was or could be compensated by the $25,000 sal- ary that was paid him? It was a mere honorarium. His real compensation was’in the hearts of his coun- trymen. So of any other public servant who ren- at is, it cannot be valued in terms of eneniaiee: mannot be measured by money. It cannot be a tor in an equation in which money enters.

Then the Sea King himself went out ito look, and, knowing at first giance that the young man was a Prince, in- | vitea him at once to the palace, and when he learned who he was gave a great banquet in his honor. At the end of seven days the Sea King said: ‘‘Prince, I am growing old and I have no son to succeed me. Now IT have taken a great fancy to you and would like you to be my heir and mar- ry my daughter. What do you say to that?’’ What could the prince say but that he was perfectiy delighted with the prospect? And as the princess did not say ‘‘No,” the end of it was that they were married amid much rejoicing, for the sea folk had become very fond of Prince Firetade and were glad to keep him with them. And so the vears passed in happiness, and the prince completely forgot his former life. And now the story might end here with the prince and princess living hap- pily ever after, were it not that one evening. about three years after the wedding, Prince Firefade suddenly re- membered his home and what had hap- pened there, and he heaved one deep Sigh. Such a thing had never occurred before, and the princess was deeply grieved, so she sought her old father, and with tears streaming from her pret- ty eyes, exclaimed: ‘Alas! we have been so happy together these three years, and never has my husband sighed before, but tonight he sighed once deeply. What can the trouble be ?"’ The Sea King was very: Wise, so he sent for the prince and said: ‘Son, what grieves you? Tell me how jt was you happened to come to our land,’ Then the prince told the whole story of the loss of his brother's fishhook and how he had set out to find it. “Ana tonight the thought came to me that ] must set forth again in search of the fisnhook.”’ he said. “and I sighed that I must leave my home and my wife,” The Sea King sat in deep thought for awhile, and then said: “Summon be- fore me all the fishes of the deep.” and when they were argsembled, big and |it- tle, he asked: ‘“‘Tell me, has any one of you taken this fishhook?” The fishes shook their heads jy gur- prise, but the pike said: “‘The pickere] has been complaining for some time of something sticking !n his throar ana hurting him; periaps he took the hook.’’ Sure enough, when the pickeler opened his mouth there was the golden fishhook caught in his throat.

The King Was not see his brother again, of the lost fishhook did him. Prince Firefade saw s0n was needed, suo he followed King’s directions, and in a Short while King Fireflash’s rice failed and he became poor.

But the younger brother heard the rush and sprang to his feet, holding aloft the tide-flowing jewel. With a roar the sea waves Swept up and around the King, dragging him down into the boiling ocean, and in spite of sirugglies he felt himself sinking. “Help, brother!” he “Foreive me! I will never offend you again.” “Will you cease from oppressing your people?” asked Firefade, sternly. “Yes—oh, yes,’ promised King. So Firefatie held out the jewel and the waters subsided, King Fireflash rolling on the sorry spectacle. Of course he reform all at once. But he was a changed man after two or three such lessuns, and within three months he was making friends with Subjects, Siving help to the needy listening humbly to the counsel of wise of his kingdom. Then Prince Firefade’s heart longed for his fair wife, and he felt that now his brother might be left to himself. So summoning the faithful crocodile, he was quickly carried back to beneath the sea, where the welcomed him with joy beyond measure.

aii ie —_ AND CHILD. - Let the mother take Scott’s Emulsion for the two; it never fails to benefit them both. One can eat fortwo, but nour- ishing two is a different | thing. It calls for a de- gree of internal strength that the average woman lacks. People of luxury are not very strong by habit; overworked people are weak in some func- tions from exhaustion or their surroundings. Scott's Emulsion can be depended upon to over- come such conditions. It is a wonderful food fora mother and child. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St.. New York,

The One Remedy Particularly Suited For the Most Common Feminine Ills.

To women who suffer Dr. Williams’ Pink PiNs are worth their weight in gold. At special periods a woman needs medicine to regulate her blood-supply or her life will be a round of pain and suffering. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are absolutely the finest medicine that ever @ woman took. They actually make new blood. They are good for men too —but they are good in a special way for women. “It was three years ago last sprin that my health failed mé,” says Mire Arthur Conklin of 5 Coldwater street. Battle Creek, Mich. I had sinking spells, nervous headaches, was weak and exhausted all the time and looked like a walking skeleton. “My back and limbs would ache al- most continually and there were days when I was absolutely helpless from sick headache. I tried one doctor after another but cannot say that they helped me at all. My liver was shug- gish and I was troubled some with constipation. “One day a physician who has now ‘retired from practice met my husband on the street and inquired about mvy health. He advised my husband to get some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for me, said they were a good medicine. better for my trouble than he could put up. T[ felt better after taking the six boxes and was entirely cured. As soon as the leucor- ye rhoea was cured the headaches and ae other pains stopped. I am entirely ogee Mor I intend to continue to use : illiame’ Pink Pills as i rbd hes a spring Mrs. Conklin permits the publication of her statement in the hope and be- lief that it will help suffering women to find the remedy that will cure them. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actual- They don’t act on » bowels. They don’t hother with _. Mere symptoms. They strike straight at the common root of disease. But, of course, you must get the genuine pills. Substitutes and imitations never eured anybody.

We are working on a theory that might be made valueless if we said anything at this time.’”’ Wife Anxious About Watchman. Mrs. Jennie Weber, wife of the night- watchman, said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Friday: “T fear that my husband may have been injured by the robbers or taken away by them to prevent him from spreading an alarm. He came home about 2:15 this morning to see our li-! months-old baby, who is ill. He stayed! only a few minutes. I thought he went back to the office. He has not been home since.
