The Jonger the overcoat the milder the winter. “There is no room in a legitimate | new spaper a campaign lie,” said a Missouri editor at a recent banquet. In 1907 this idea should be given a fresh start. for ON | a i i HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK. No man of intelligence and generous mind can fail io°ses! the charm of the Gaelic revival, the signifi- «ance of which Dr. Douglas Hyde is presenting witb so, muah skill and fervor, or to catch the enthusi- asm of the men who are promoting it. Of the «in- cerity and faith of Dr. Hyde there is no doubt. ‘Nor is there room for doubt of the value of much of | work being done by the doctor and his associates. But there is reason for misgivings as to the wisdom of several parts of the program. Certainly the noble and inspiring early literature and records of the Gaelic race should and will be preserved, not alone for the Irish, but for the world. Knowledge of the language should not pass and it is interesting to note that German scholars have assured the preservation of these things by their research and study. Irishmen have a right to cherish all that is good and glorious in the past of their people, but they should not permit it to interfere with their future development. To attempt to revive Gaelic as the common language of Ireland, to restrict Lrish trade to Ireland «nd otherwise to shut the Irish people.in their own green isle, is to go backward in- stead of forward. The progress of today is towards a common language, free intercourse and trade be- tween all peoples; toward denationalization rather than exclusive and intense national feeling; towards a world democracy. Appeal to the sentiment attach- ing to the national language and customs may have a temporary value in uniting the Irish and inspiring them with a spirit of independence, which will aid in achieving political freedom and the opportunity for unrestricted development, but when these are gained the hope of further progress will lie in the broadest industrial and commercial expansion and the freest and fullest intercourse with all progressive peoples. For these purposes the knowledge of the English language, which is the language of the most progressive peoples, is of infinitely greater valve than the knowledge of Gaelic. Ireland’s development was arrested by England’s oppression, but with the ‘breath of freedom in the people’s nostrils it must go forward to. manhood, not back to childhood.

‘The opening at Cleveland, O., of the Missouri in- vestigation of the operations of the Standard Oil (Co., developed evidence “clinching” the evidence taken in Missouri itself to prove the connection of the Republic Oil Co. with the Standard. As one of the incorporators of the Republic Company, Louis H. Turrell admitted fully that he was a mere “dum- ny,” acting for the Standard Oil Co., under orders, with no discretion of his own. The investigation, as far as it has proceeded, has recorded, in legal evidence, proof of systematic and long-continued vio- lation of the anti-trust laws by the Standard Com- pany, operating through “dummy” companies, with “dummy” directors, under contro) of its manager. Gen. Grant’s tribute to Gen. Robert FE. Lee is one of the finest examples of high-minded patriot- ism ou record. He emphasized the fact—which al] men are beginning to recognize—that Gen. Lee was ®@ national character, a national hero, and is en- titled in right of his personal character and his achievement to be considered a part of the heritage of the American people. Grant and Lee represented on the battlefield the two antithetical principles in the inseparable unity of which consists the true American spirit. And they should be remembered together as national heroes, just as faithfully as opposing statesmen are remembered, who fight out the battles of prog- ress in the Senate. Frederick Grant honors himself when he thus emulates his father, in ge-erosity to his father’s foe, and reminds his fellow countrymen that American heroism is not sectional. but na- tional. Gen. Wheeler's death, following close upon Gen Fred Grant’s admirable tribute to his father’s old foe, appears a final word of reconciliation and peace. A thousand Dixons and their dupes cannot ob- literate the impression of the last seven years of Joe Wheeler's life. He became a Lieutenant-Genera! lighting the United States. But he was man enough to accept the inevitable, and reward came when he was commissioned Brigadier-Genora] in the army of that Government, which in his youth he had sought to destroy. Gen. Wheeler had the vigor, in. telligence and high purpose of a man, along with the sweet simplicity of a child. He was a typical _ Southerner, but even more a typical American of the old pre-plutoeratic fashion. Joseph Wheeler me tate © piste Mh vp on the rol of Amarine er ee mr police left still unsolved the mvstery z of began at wholesale on the ase

the crime was the work of an insane pervert in the last stages of “moral idiocy.” It appeared with equal clearness that the method on which the police rely in such a case is to make wholesale arrests, dragging to-the “holdover” ten men, nine of whom they know must be innocent, in the hope of finding one of the ten guilty. Another eand perhaps strong- er motive than the hope of actually convicting the guilty, is the desire to demonstrate police zeal by making numerous arrests, in the absence of proof or even reasonable suspicion of guilt. The Hapgood case in New York City developed during the week a full exposure of methods of “high finance,” through which the knowledge of corrup- tion due to luxury among the excessively rich was made to yield large sums of money to the managers of Town Topics as “the organ or society.” When summing up the case against Town Topics. Edward M. Shepard, attorney for Hapgood, said in arguing that his client could not have libeled that publica. tion: “There is in Town Topics’ offtce what is called an index, a history of bribery, dishonesty, beastliness and grewsome scandal gathered from the home and elsewhere by agents of the paper, for use at a mo- ment’s notice.” The significance of the case de- veloped in the mass of testimony intended to prove “habits of good society” of levying *9 that such knowledge of the was systematically used tribute, for purpose The passage of the statehood bill the House at Washington developed an unmistakable purpose of limiting the vote in the Senate and the electoral college, rather than of admitting new states under precedents based on population and fitness. For no other purpose than this, the bill pro- poses to wipe New Mexico and Indian Territory off the map of the United States, leaving only Oklahoma and Arizona, two states instead of four. In the Senate there will be a struggle over the bill and the demand will be made for the admission of the new states of the Southwest under precedents which controlled when the new states of the Northwest were admitted under Republican auspices. ooo through

oe “COLONIZE OUR OWN COUNTRY.” The attitude of English politicians to Gen. Booth’s acheme to export the poor of the land to the colonies is not exactly friendly. The Prime Minister, Sir Henry man, said the other day: “We desire our undeveloped estates in this country; Ca mpbell -Banner- to to colonize develop our own country; to give the farmer greater Tfree- dom and greater security in the exercise of his busi- who is now in many cases cut off from the soil. We wish to make the land less of a pleasure ground for the rich and more of a treasure house for the nation.” Not so many years ago poachers were hanged for snaring hares in the lord’s domain. Now it is pro- posed to make the lord reduce the area of his parks and hunting grounds for the poachers’ sons and grandsons, who want to raise turnips and other vegetables fit for a peasant’s stomach. Gen. Booth has not yet expressed an Campbell-Bannerman’s counter proposal. opinion of Probably that the Salvation Army is not in politics. The Prime Minister’s proposal is, of course, in the direction of heavier taxation of land tor the purpose of compelling the industrial employment of vyast areas now lying idle or devoted to pleasure. It is the most radical proposal since Cobden’s free trade crusade began. And it will meet with more powerful opposition than ever Cobden had to fight. eee Tilinois Alabama quail and Vir- - -

ooo MORBID FICTION IN POLITICS. In challenging Booker Washington to public de- bate on alleged issues of “social equality” for negroes at the South, Mr. Thomas Dixon is advertising the various products of his own genius for untimely and morbid fiction. Since he gave up preaching a gospel of truth and good will to men, he has devoted himself to fiction of this kind with such success that he is advert sed as the owner of an “estate” and a steam yacht. The more he advertises himself and his fiction by at- tempting the role of a political agitater, the greater the probability of income to meet the expenses of the estate and the yacht. It does not give him pause in this work to know that what he is now doing at the expense of the ago by those who were denounced as “the worst radicals.” They were called so because they insist- race issue.” They disposed of the South had no right to attempt to reform the tariff, to denounce public corruption in Federal affairs, or to take part in shaping con- structive policies for the country as a whole. At each succeeding election for Congress and for the presidency, they revived the “race issue” and forced it between the Southern States and their influence in the Union. They failed finally, as the country grew away from them, but they did not fail in demon- strating that so long as a race issue can be forced on the Southern States those States, at every crisis, can be prevented from giving a casting vote on the great national reforms which most nearly concern them. They showed that while the Southern States are forced to focus their attention on “race issues,” they can be coerced and controlled from the outside in dealing with al] other issues. It is in this humiliating and degrading position that Mr. Dixon and those who hold with him wou'd keep the Southern States in a new generation when the way is open to escape wholly from it and to use for the benefit of the people of the United States as a whole the influence the Southern States must use before the worst abuses which entrenched them- selves during the Civil War period of blind passion, can be reformed or eradicated. Having his rewards for fiction in hia estate an? ae yacht, Mr. Dixon ought to be satisfied to confine

to usurp the seat of truth for fiction in polities. It is the most important truth in the politics of the South and of the country that race issues can- not be settled by passionate disputation or even by } discussion. Not passion and prejudice, but the slow processes of education and evolution from genera- the solution, this negroes are accepting. As | tion to generation give and solution all intelligent @ race, they are not forcing issues On the contrary,

of South or elsewhere. they are at- tempting to learn from their own educated men and from white friends who will teach them, all they can learn to help them in what they feel deeply ag their need for improvement. As they improve, the South as a whole will improve more rapidly and all evi- dence of the careless and slovenly work of the un- educated and unskilled negro worker will disappear in the prosperity of a new and. higher industrialism. The Southern States will then count in the polities of the whole country as they are entitled to count. It is self-evident now, as it is demonstrated by the history of a quarter of a century of sectionalism dominated by the “race issue,” that they count thus when they are continually forced out of national politics and away from the life of the American people as a whole. This what Mr. Dixon and all others who share his infirmities o* can never 1s mind and morals, would do for the Southern States. Under their leadership, the South pelled continually, at every crisis in the future, to would be com- give up its restored rights in the Union and fight a useless loca] fight over the myth of “social equality for the negro.”

>?4. A Factory City Without Smoke—The Newest Torpedo—Great Increase in Auto- mobile Speed—Inoculating Used-Up Soils—Machinery Started by Music—The Reclamation of a Desert. SMOKELESS ELECTRIC CITY. The tourist when stopping in the City of Niagara Falls, notwithstanding the immense manufacturing industries which have grown up there within the last few years, will see almost no chimneys delivering their smoky contribution to the otherwise clear at- mosphere. Here, every steam plant has been shut down, with the exception of one or two small plants in which it is necessary to use steam in the treat- ment of wood pulp for the manufacture paper. In these nillls the power processes are performed either by the direct agency of water power or by electric power through the agency of motors. The visitor to somé of the model factories recently built, will wonder how it has become possible to preserve the absolute cleanliness that is found on every floor and in évery department. He will find that small electric motors have displaced the old systems of shafting and belts, with their connections from floor to floor, their rasping“goise and vibration, and their accompanying dust and dirt. The result is the ideal workshop. Electricity gives the most perfect light- ing, the most perfect source of power, and the most easily manipulated form of heating, whether in the factory, the office or the home. NEW HIGH-SPEED TORPEDO. The United States Navy has just adopted a new engine of destruction in the shape of a high-speed the Bliss-Leavitt. It is classed as one of the must powerful and deadly sea weapons in existence today. This self-propelling sea monster travels through the water at a pace of 36 knots and has an extreme range of 4000 yards, 3500 being the guaranteed contract range. Owing to its superior advantages in speed and range, being capable of going eight Knots or 25 per cent faster and nearly double the distance of the latest Whitehead, it will supplant the latter, now considered to be obsolete. The best performance of the Whitehead is a speed of 28 knots, going but 2000 yards. The new torpedo has an additional advantage and one _ especially adapted for submarines, inasmuch as it can be dis- equally well from submerged tubes as on a feat never successfully accomplished with hitehead. INCREASE IN AUTO SPEED. The increase in automobile speed during the past years would be almost incredible were there not In 1895 the Paris-Bordeaux road with the 2 ot deck, the W 10 figures to prove it. was won by a 3%-horsepower automobile an average speed of 15 miles an hour. In 1897 winning automobile, an 8-horsepower machine, cov- ered the 959 miles of the Paris-Amsterdam race at 3 miles an hour. In 1899 the Paris-Bordeaux race was won by a 12-horsepower automobile going at 30 miles an hour. In 1901 the Paris-Bordeaux race was won by a 40-horsepower machine,- with an average hourly speed of 50 miles—the same course that was covered six years before at 15 miles an hour. The increase in speed since that time, though great, has been more gradual. The winning car in the Vanderbilt Cup race, the most important held in America, averaged slihtly less than €2 miles an hour for the 283 miles; it was of 80 horsepower, but in the same race there were cars Gf 12 horsepower and one of 130. RESTORING WORN-OUT SOILS. Kansas Station some years ago soil inocu- lation studies were begun. It had long been known that certain plants, notably clovers, peas, beans and the like, formed small bunches of nodules upon their it was later developed that these excrescences. instead of being harmful, as had once been believed, race At the roots,

15 to 18 fe were the reverse—that they were the home of count- less bacteria; that these bacteria take the free nitrogen from the air and change it into nitrogen fo clant food. Four-fifths of the air is nitrogen. free. nitrogen as it is called, a gas, uncombined with other substances. It is estimated that there are about seventy-five millions of pounds of this free nitrogen resting upon every acre of ground, an inexhaustible storehouse of plant food. When this nitrogen is turned into service it must: be in compound with some other substance, as in the form of decayea vegetable matter. It cannot be used by the plants in its free state. And here comes in the service of the bacteria—it is their function to convert the free nitro- ron of the air Tito food for the plant. The Kansas Station demonstrated) that the process of plowing under these nodule-bearing plants, the home of count- less bacteria, who take the free nitrogen, and, just how probably no one knows, convert it into plant fuoa—the plowing resulting in marked enrichment of the svil—could be shortened by simply adding to the soil the bacteria which made the nodules. Soil known to contain the bacteria was brought from Massachu- setts, placed in the worn-out Kansas soil, and resto- ration of fertility followed. MACHINERY STARTED BY SOUND. Writing in the Independence Belge of Brussels, Airelle says “‘the use the electric button for put- ling machinery in motion a commonplace, but to use sound for the same purpose is certainly novel. This is accomplished by making use of the property Which certain forms of resonators—membranes, cords, etc.—have of being placed on vibration by sounds which are pitched in the right key. M. Michel uses “an ordinary acoustic resonator, which contains a disk turning an axis oblique to the longitudinal axis of the resonator. As soon as the note is struck which is capable of putting the resonator in Vibration the disk begins to turn, and this rotation lasts as long as the sound lasts. If one plays an instrument, for exainple, a piano, the disk remains at rest until the sound is made to which the resonator is harmonized. The disk ,then begins to turn, and as its axis is movable, the tendency is to place the surface of the Dr. of is | disk vertical to the longitudinal axis of the resonator. AS the disk is connected with an electric battery circuit, may be thus closed and kept so as long as the characteristic sound is made. “The new scheme has many possibilities. For‘ example, a locomotive by whistling before a signal could open or close it, and many other useful applic ations might be made.” A DESERT R RECLAIMED. Five ‘years ago there was not a home in the Im- periai Valley of the Colorado Desert. There was not even an Indian hogan (earth hut) to shelter the engineers who surveyed the first canals from the} Coiocado River across the desert. The parched earth Was as bare of vegetation as a Skating rink, and it seemed even less promising than Death Valley for it lacks the mineral wealth of that region, the ground being a Sedimentary deposit from the Colorado River. Today a hundred thousand acres are under actual cultivation on the California side of the desert, and ten thousand on the Mexican side. Towns have arisen almost in a night; the principal are Imperial, Holtville, Brawley, Calexico, Mexicali, Heber and Silsbee, ranging from 600 to 1800 popula- tion. There are 15,000 people and 11 school districts in the valley. A telephone system has been extended througbout the whole irrigated area. The towns Possess brick and stone business blocks, cone crete sidewalks and graded streets. Shade trees are being grown, and at 18 months old, poplars are from et in height and afford substantial shade. neat By the Layman.

HORSE HANDS AND FEET. From Nature and Science in February St. Nicholas. Now the horse never puts his heel on the ground, nor even the ball. of his foot. He stands up on the very tips of his toes, and this is, in part, the reason why he can trot so fast. Dobbin’s heels are half way up his hind legs, and what we call his knees are really his wrists. The part corresponding to the upper arm is short, and is so embedded in the mus- cles of the shoulder that the elbow comes next the body. But the horse has only one digit on each limb, and the wrist bones are comparatively small. The so-called ankle, then, is the knuckle where the digit joins the hand or the foot, and the ‘“‘foot’’ is only a single thick finger or toe, with a great nail fer a hoof. The lower half of the horse’s fore leg is really hand with only the middle finger and a of the middle of the palm, while the cor- part of his hind leg Is a big, single-toed a gigantic piece out responding foot.

In 1827, John Walker, town, ca a druggist in a small English tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of pot- ash and sulphide of antimony paper and it burst into flame. The druggist had dis- covered the first friction-chemical match, It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorous was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders.

A good dog enjoys a reputation as a guardian of the house, but a old woman puts her faith in cats. Her house was entered some time ago and her belief in her pet was justifted. The midnight hour had not long struck when she heard unusual sounds in the hall below. She slipped out of bed, took her faithful feline’ (which always spent the night,in her room) in her arms and walked quietly on the lading. She leaned over; the burglar was on the stairs; suddenly, in an unlucky moment, he struck a match. The lady then dropped puss upon the burglar’s head. The cat uttered an unearthly screech and began to use its claws for all it was worth. The next instant the man was outside in the street.

with the river navigation a¢ uncertain as it is. the railway rates are regulated to some exient not only north and south, as the river runs, but east and west. The effect of the competition of the river on freight rates north and south is shown at a glance by the comparison by river in 1897, when a line of steam- boats, known as the Anchor Line, regu- larly carried freight between St. Louis and New Orleans, and the present rate by railway, there being now no freight line from St. Louis to New Orleans. Rates Per Hundred Pounds. ivst-class rate in 1807 Present rate Third-class rate jn Present rate Fourth-class rate in 1897 Present trate Fifth-class rate in Present rate Sixth-class rate Present rate 1897 will assume all responsibility for main- taining a channel between St. Louis and Cairo, eight feet deep and 20 feet wide, s0 that shipping capital will have con- fidence in the situation, freight and packet lines will be re-established, and the river will become again an active competitor with the railwavs. The fact that when the river is safely and certainly navigable, it regulates the railway rates not only north and south from St. Paul to New Orleans, but also east and west from San Francisco to New York, is shown conclusively by the following statement of M. C. Markham, Traffic Expert of the Missouri Pacific Railway Co., stationed in St. Louis. At the time Mr. Markham made this ex- planation of the river’s influence upon railway rates, he was the Assistant TraffiCc Manager of the Illinois Central Railway, a line paralleling the Missis- sippi River north and south. The statement made_in 1901 before the United States Industrial Commission follows: ‘The river, as can be readily under- Stood, makes the rates from St. Louis to Memphis or New Orleans. The rail- roads running between those points, to get a share of the traffic, must neces- sarily offer rates approximating those made by the river craft. Chicago is not Situated on the river, but it would be placed at a disadvantage as regards the Memphis or New Orleans trade if it were not put upon a relatively fair rate plane with St. Louis. - Of odds and ends, brought out from the corners of our immense warehouses, and sold at a mere fraction of their real worth, constitutes a movement of great moment, watched by the thrifty house- wives of St. Louis and vicinity. $35 Solid Mahegany Chiffonier, $16.75 (Like Cut.)

Sharp’s annual sale is over, iead of hors ses and mules brought To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of The Post-Dispatch May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or “feel badly” begin taking \ {he great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- toot, because as soon as your kidneys begin to get better they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. 1 was out of healt and run down generally; had no appetite, was dizzy and suffered with headache most of the time.. I did not know that my kidneys were the @ cause of my trouble, but somehow felt that they Zage might be, and I began taking Swamp-Root. There is Reape sich a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it goes right to the spot and drives disease out of the sys-f tern. It has cured me, making me stronger and bet- Hig ter in every way, and 1 cheerfully recommend it to} al! sufferers. Gratefully yours, L. WALKER, 331 East Linden St.. Atlanta, Ga. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suffering and fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and @ ‘frritable. Makes you pass water often during Figg the day and obliges you to get up many times fim during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and mus- cles; make your head ache and back ache, cause indigestion,: stomach and liver trouble, vou get a sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength, get weak and wuste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. K‘lmer’s Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney reme- dy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is known to medical science. How to Find Out If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising About four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let. it stand twenty-four hours. If on ex- ‘amination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a wick-dust settling, or if small particles float bent in it, your kidneys are in need of imme- ‘diate attention. - Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used an the leading hospitals, recommended by phy- ‘sicians in their private practice, and is taken »y doctors themselves who have kidney ail- “ments, because they recognize in it the great- “est and most successful remedy for kidney, “liver and bladder troubles.

CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM Rheumatism is caused by an excess of URIC ACID in the system. > URIC ACID prevails in all the liquids of the body and when it becomes excessive the urates gather about the jsints and come in contact with the nerves, causing rheumatic pains. These pains continue until the urates are dissolved and eliminated from the body, and this muzt he done before Rheumatism can be cured, and a medicine to do this must dissolve these urates and remove them. Such a medicine is URICSOL The trouble with most rheumatic cures is the fact that while they dissolve and eliminate the urates, they are so antagonistic to the stomach the digestion is impaired and the sufferer cannot take them long enough ‘to become cured. Uricsol acts as a tonie to the stomach; Positively Does Not Contain Alcohol, Potassium, Iodide or Salicylates, increases the appetite, stimu- lates the kidneys and liver, dissolves and eliminates the uric acid and cures rheumatism no matter of how long standing.

No. 4350 Berkeley Av Chicago, IIL The immense popularity of Newbro’s Herpicic e particularly among the better class, is due to the fact that it never disappoints. It does all and more than } claimed for it. Its delightful fragrance, perfect clearness and dom from grease or oil, appeal to the discriminating, and” its cleansing, refreshing and health-giving effect upon the scalp is immediately apparent. Herpicide makes the hair light and fluffy and give it a silken gloss. mp D-, Extraordinarily long hair is a gift of Nature that relatively few possess, but not many .would complain if they could save Nature’s head covering in ite : original beauty and luxuriance. The dandruff germ is the greatest enemy of abundant hair. This is on account of the highly contagious nature of dandruff, which makes it almost — impossible to escape the disease without the occasional use of a germ- destroying : solution. Newbro’s Herpicide is the ORIGINAL remedy that “kills the dandruff germ.” Jt promptly eradicates dandruff, stops falling hair and (except in chronic baldness) restores the hair to its former health and activity. Harper stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. At Drug Stores. Send 10¢c in stamps to The HERPICIDE C©O., Dept.

Farris for some years past has been living on Pearl street near the Perry creek bridge, but a short time ago he was told that by the recent action of the city council the houses in that por- tion of town, including his, would have to be moved as the city wanted to make use of the lots on which the houses were situated. The lot did not belong to Farris, but the house did, and there was nothing for him to do but move. Not having enough money to purchase a lot he did not know what to do. A few days ago he told his friend Smith his saying he was afraid he would lose his house and then would have no place in which to live. Smith immediately began fight his blind friend’s battles. Telling him not to worry Smith moved his chair a trifle

Grandson of the Late Great Merchant Is Being Reared in the Expectation That He Will Become the Directing Genius of the Large Interests Founded by His Famous Ancestor, and and There Is Little Play and a Daily Life. BY LANGDON SMITH. Written for the New York World the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. SHE wealthiest little boy in all ‘T America is down among the pine hills at Lakewood.

At the age of this little boy the grand- father was plowing and reaping and tolling on a farm, and planning in his mind how to win the fortune which he subsequently acquired. And now without the preliminaries of plowing and reaping and planning, and without manual labor of any kind, Mar- shall Field the third will have the won- derful fortune piled up by his grand- father ready to hand to use as he may see fit. But is it better to inherit riches than im acquire them? Will not this enor- mous fortune kill all ambition and spoil ‘gil noble purposes in life?

But how these boys would grumble if they had to work as Master Field works between times. Young Marshall Field is a well-built little chap, having inherited from his father and grandfather the broad ghou]- ders and erect carriage of the Fields, At present he dresses in deep mourn- ing.

When you have made your fortune, it is time enough to think about spending it. Two suits of clothes are enough for any young man.

GAS CONSUMERS ON A STRIKE IN PARIS. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Jan. 2/.—Inhabitants of three the Seine-et-Oise, name»ly, Meulan, Les Mureaux, and UHardricourt have started a novel sort of strike. They refuse to burn gas in their shops, fac- torles and houses. This is beceuse the local company refuses to lower the price of gas to 2 cents the cubic metre. The people in the three towns mentioned are now paying 00 cents the cubic metre, or 10 cents more than residents in other places in the same department. Instead of the ordinary gas, the recaicitrants are burning paraffin, acetylene, lamp oll, wax candles, and even the co tallow dips. The “consumers say plainly that they are on strike, and that they are determined to hold out un- til the company gives In. They. dectare that all thelr complaints were unheed- ed, and that their patience Was worn out by the proerastination of the di- reetor of the ges company.

For her I would be ready to relinquish one.’’ So said Alfonso lately to a courtier, his old friend and confidant. King Al- fonso is deeply in Jove with Princess Victoria Eugene of Battenberge—‘‘Ena,”’ to give her her love name. Deeply im- the ancient traditions of Spanish chivalry, he has idealized hs love for his fiancee, speaks of her with rapt devotion, and it ig plain that she dominates his thoushts. And the King’s people, delighted in this marriage, applaud the approaching wedding, and are impatient to know King Edward's niece.

Jan. 27. - Edttor “Gentl CULLEWUWUAN In Life “Kit” Carson Was Sel- dom Understood and His Ap- propriation From Estate for Distribution of Article Mark Twain Did Not Write, Is a Mystery. - JOPLIN, Mo., W. (KIT) CARSON, A. newspaper man, days ago, was one of the most remarkable characters ever known in the Joplin lead and zinc belt. As a matter of fact, but few persons in this city, where -he had lived for more than a quarter of a century, knew him as he was. There were many things. In his life which he chose to keep from the public. There was some- thing back of what “‘Kit’’ Carson did, but his friends did not always know what it was. He came to Joplin while it was yet a small mining camp and founded the Herald, a weekly newspaper, with his small capital. He enjoyed the company of educated men and was apparently open in ail his actions, but refused to discuss his past. Women held no ‘charms to him. He never married and this led to the story that he had been digappointed in love. Whether he had or not, none of his friends ever knew. Fortune favored him. He was econo- mical and at his death had accumulated $50,000 As a lover of children, especially boys, he was in a quiet way, a philan- thropist. Many men in this city owe their education to Carson. Each sum- mer for a number of years he had taken a party of boys on excursions to various points of interest, bearing the entire expense. He retired from news- paper work several years ago because of ill health, and to occupy his time raising fancy poultry. Carson’s will is as unique as his per- gonality in life. One bequest is $1000 to the Y. M. C. A. for the “printing and circulation through the Northern states of an essay on ‘What Constitutes a Geatleman,’ by Mark Twain.”’ Now Mark Twain denies ever having a Joplin | who died a few | Essay a Joke?

A. W. CARSON. written such an essay. Carson’s friends had frequently heard him speak of the essay. but they are in doubt as _ to! whether the bequest was planned as a joke or whether the mistake as tg au- |} thorship was the one exception in his} usually accurate information. His rea- son for restricting the circulation given in this clause, “‘This designation of ter- ritory is made for the reason that there is less need of the information in the Southern States,”’ is held by some to support the joke theory. | The will provides that his two horses be sold and the proceeds used in giving two of his boy friends—Gus Meader and Harry Maeder, a business education. For many years Mr. Carson had made his home with Mrs. M. Callison. Her daughter, Miss Georgia Callison, was a | favorite of Carson, and in his will he: gives her a house and lot during her natural life. At her death the property is to be sold and the proceeds given to St. John’s Hospital in this city to be used in the care of helpless printers and | newspaper men whose ailment is not the result of alcoholism. The remuinder of the estate goes to his sister, Mrs. Sarah S. Hunt of New York. Included in this is a brick busi- ness block. Carson was born in Cadiz, years ago. He spent his early Oliio, was in the Civil War, taught school and came to fad.

largest farm in Iowa, and perhaps the largest in the world where corn is grown almost exclusively, is the Ad- ams property of 15,000 acres near Ode- bolt. The 10 men who have been em- ployed steadily on this farm for the past year have just finished husking the greatest cornfield in the United States. It is estimated that more than 30,- 000 bushels were raised there this year. The crop is all cut and husked from the shock. The stocks will be shredded for the fat cattle before spring. Thirty- seven double stalk-cutters were used to bind the corn fn the field this fall. Two hundred mules are employed to do the heavy draft work. Mr. and Mrs. Ad- ams and family are at present at their winter home in Chicago, and the farm is in the hands of its manager. Last winter Adams had 6000 sheep brought from his North Dakota ranch for feeding, and it is announced the venture was so profitable, it will be re- peated. The affairs at the farm are conducted with as much system as any large business. There is a main office, where the manager has his desk. It is here that the proprietor spends a large art of his time in summer. The farm s divided into sections, each part under the direction of a foreman. All houses for employes are near the center of the farm, making a small town, where the school is located. Adams is an enthusiast for good roads, and all through the place he has built handsome driveways. GIM BLOOMERS FOR STREET WEAR a. —_.

not related to lin his estate, in the presence of three ‘witnesses, ask to be put to death in | tional measure which she has just suc- ‘ceeded in laying before the lLegisia- ture. Miss Hall is almost timid about the attention that her advocacy of the measure has attracted. -When her Dill was declared by Representative Hill to be an insult to the intelligence of the members of the House, she burst into tears. Already Done, She Says. “My bill really seeks to legalize wiat many physicians are already doing,” she said later. ‘‘Being a physician my- self, IT am in a position to know. They would not admit it, of course. Technil- cally, as the laws now stand, it is a blunder, but it is really the most hu- mane act that man can do, With phy- sicians, therefore, the proposition is not astounding. I notice that all the phy- sicians in the House voted te receive the bill, and I feel sure that they will yote for it when it comes up for Das- cage. Her Mother's Suffering. ‘My mother died with cancer. Dur- ing her last week she suffered much. She knew she must die, and begged to be relieved of her miséry. The phys'- eian told us that she could survive only » few hours, but she lived on in this awful agony for over 100 hours. Since that time I have been an advocate of

the proposition contained in my bill. “When a dumb animal is hopelessly ‘crippled or ill, we are permitted to end | its sufferings. Why not be as consid- erate with human beings?’ The bill as introduced provides that any person of lawful age and of sound ' mind, who is fatally injured or hope- lessly ill and suffering great pain, may, so pronounced by a physician, when the person or interested some quick and painless manner. Thereupon, the physician, if his di- ‘agnosis is confirmed by three other rep- ‘wtable physicians, may proceed to carry ‘out the wishes of the dying patient. | ‘The bill will probably be referred to lat least two committees—first to the Ju- diciary Committee, for the purpose of' passing upon its validity under the Ohio -eonstitution, and then to the Committee ‘en Medical Jurisprudence—consisting mostly of members who are practition- ,

| ers of medicine, for the purpose of as- | certaining the practicability of the , measure. Will Stay in Columbas. Miss Hall says she proposes to stay in Columbus until the bill is disposed of. | She will ask to be heard by the commit- tee having the bill under consideration, and asks the fullest publicity for the hearings, confident that the more the public hears of the proposition the less opposition there will be. The reading of the bill in the House last Tuesday provoked probably the strangest debate that was ever heard in | the hall. The members were at first! inclined to laugh at it, as being on the, line of the Osler theory. But as it pro-'

It might do great arm.”’ “DOCTOR'S DUTY NEVER TO ABANDON HOPE.” DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 27.—Physicians are unanimous in their opposition to the principles embodied in the Ohio bill. Sec- retary Dr. W.

The young couple. whose attachment was not even suspected of having reached the matrimonial stage, left home to go

FOR HIGH COURT Qwner Fights Judgment for 79 Fowls Escaping Reynard Killed. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Jan. 27.—A fugitive fox has been the cause of a lawsuit in Tonganoxie Township that has been brought to the District Court here for adjustment. Henry Hawkins of Tonganoxie filed a bill of Tticulars in the ustice’s court of T. J. Stout claiming that W. Leidy was indebted to him in the sum of $20 for chickens and ducks destroyed by the defendant's fox. The animal, it is all escaped Oct. 20, 1905, and went on the premises of the plaintiff and killed and destroyed 9 hens and four ducks, the property of the plaintiff. Hawkins tried to collect the amount from Leidy, but the latter refused to pay for the same. Then suit was instituted in the justice's court. Evidence was heard Dec. 27, and for two succeeding days, and judgment giv- en for $18.70 damages and $19.40 costs, but the owner of the fox appealed.

ceeded they sobered down, some of them to seriousness and some to resentment. Representative Hunt of Hamilton County begged the House to give the measure respectful hearing. He believed it was not a matter for derision. The vote to reject it stood 29 ayes to 13 noes. It is harmily thought the bill has a chance to finally pass the House. Miss Hall has received a letter from President Eliot of Harvard University indorsing her proposition. CINCINNATI DOCTORS OPPOSE THE MEASURE. | CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 27.—The bill presented in the Ohio Legislature to lo- galize the ending of suffering of the {n- curable or fatally hurt by the admin- istering of opiates by physicians, pre- sented to the Legislature through the efforts of Miss Anna Hall of this city, does not meet with the approval of physicians here. Dr. Thomas C. Minor, former Health Officer of the city, United States Pen- sion Examiner and ex-Police Commis- sioner, said: “The true physician's mission on earth is to cure, not to kill, No true physt- cian ever deliberately killed a patient, I have never known in a practice of #) years of any physician or medica: man deliberately practicing euthanasia on any dying patient. “It is true that almost every patient dying from painful ailment or shock of accident has more or less of

in the hope pain, but this is given may be pro- that the patient’s life longed. “IT have seen many cases of so-called hopeless patients, even when almost in articulo mortis, recover. No Christian or Jewish doctor would violate the com- mandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill,’ know- ingly. The alleged physician who would dare practice euthanasia would stand in the same light with his profession as the public executioner stands with the public in Paris. ‘This bill now before the Ohio Legis- lature is an insult to ah? f true physi- clan in the State and will be praperly resented by them when the § time comes.,”’ Dr. J. C. McKechan, one of the old- eH practicing physicians of the city, “The duty of a physician lieve pain as much as it is to cure. No doctor, I believe, would deliberately seek to bring about the death of a pa- tient under any cirecumstances.’’ INDIANAPOLIS DOCTORS SAY IT IS ABSURD. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

WILD ELEPHANT UTURE QUEEN af

Prince and Princess of Wales to Enjoy Sport This Week at Mysore. eee CHASE FULL OF PERIL

Beasts, When Trapped, Are Maddened, but Tame Ones Subdue Them.

DRIVE REQUIRES DAYS

Huge Creatures Are Easily Stampeded and Must Be Handled Slowly.

Special Correspondence of the New York World and Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1906. by the Press Pub. (Co. (New York Worid.) LUCKNOW, India, Dec. 15.—About the time this reaches the Post-Dispatch the Prince and Princess of Wales will have arrived at Mysore. They are due Jan. 29 and will remain until Feb. 4. Mysore is one of the two parts of the country where wild elephants are still regularly caught and tamed, and one of the greatest treats designed for the roval visitors is the witnessing of a capture of elephants. Nothing done by man in any section Surpasses in skill and daring the catch- ing, taming and training of wild ele- phants. Though ordinarily timid and inoffensive, elephants are easily an- gered, and an angry elephant is a ter- ror, indeed. If a wild one in a chance to see the man roping its feet it would tear him limb from limb or kneel and drive its tusks through his body unless the tame elephants should go instantly to his rescue and let him escape through the fence. When the Prince and Princess are taken to the keddah for their safety. tions will be made for their safety. They will first be placed on a screened platform, where they can see the final drive into the inclosure and, after the elephants are shut in, they will go up to the fence and watch the roping of the captive monsters. Mad Elephant a ‘Terror. Wild elephants used to be plentiful all through India, *but they are becoming SO scarce it has been made a crime to kill an elephant unless it is mad and the Government has monopolized their capture. A mad elephant on a rampage has sometimes killed -many persons, made a road impassable and every part of a village unsafe. A large reward is paid for the killing of a mad elephant. The elephant-catching department of the Government has an Englishman skilled in woodcraft at its head and an army of natives of the hereditary race of elephant catchers. The word ‘‘keddah’’ has been incorpo- rated into the English language, and now means both the place and the business of catching elephants. When a grand catch of elephants is determined upon the first thing is to located a herd and then to prevent it from wandering beyond a certain Hmit while a pen and fence are constructed some miles away. Men distribute them- selves through the forest, always keep- ing out of sight, but watching the herd of, say fifty, and directing its move- ments. Elephants are very suspicious, and also quick of hearing. An unusual noise or sight of a man may cause a‘ whole herd to face about and go to another part of the country. A sound or sight less alarming turns the direction of their travel, but will not send them out of the district. Preparing the Trap. Elephants do not, like deer or cattle, stay and feed in one neighborhood. They follow a line of country, going on from day to day with the greatest delibera- tion, feeding as they go, sweeping up shrubs and plants with their trunks, tearing branches off trees and clearing a path through the jungle. | When they come to water they spend a long time there, going into the water or pouring it over themselves and over ‘drive’ should

“I PREACHER NOT AWED BY THREATS OF THOSE HIT BY WAR ON VICE

Rev. Crutcher Declares He Will Continue Crusade Until All the-Immoral Resorts in Chil- licothe, Mo., Are Closed. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Jan. 27. ‘T HEY must all go; there can be no compromise, and the good people of Chillicothe will see that the police enforce the law,’ said Rev. J. N. Crutcher, one of the local preachers who are leading the crusade against improperly conducted saloons and other immoral resorts. The threats against the Rev. Mr. Crutcher, who formerly lived in St. Louis, have not abated his zeal. All the local churches are united in the move- ment which he and the other pastors have fathered. Te next day the city and county offi- cers made a raid on the bawdy houses and arrested the proprietors of four houses and 14 inmates. Mr. Crutcher is being assisted by Rev. Mr. Alton of the South Methodist Church and Rev. Mr. Sturges, pastor of the First Methodist Church. During one of Crutcner’s sermons at the Christian Church, he said: “When a preacher stands for the en-

forcement of law, when he dares to cry aloud and spare not, he may expect vop- position, he may expect to be slandered, to be reviled ang abused. “Tl am ready to suffer any of these in- dignities if need be, but I am determined that there shall be no compromise in the war against sin in Chillicothe. ‘T have been warned not to go out at night for fear that I might be at- tacked or that my home might be burned in my absence. I am not afraid of any of those things. “IT speak these things as a note of preparation to this congregation. 1 have only this to ask of you, that no matter what manner of attack may be made on me, none of you suggests any compromise with the forces of evil. “This is the fight for our homes, our wives, our children. “Now, we stand on the edge of the mud-puddle of vice and pull out here and there a dying man and save him, but we let the puddles remain. Why can't the church drain these mudholes and relieve the community of their in- fluence. There are 15 mud-puddies in this town. The church people can drain them if they will.”’ Chillicothe has 15 saloons and it is these that Elder Crutcher is supposed to have referred to as ‘‘mud-puddles.”’ Since Mr. Crutcher’s fearless attack on vice and official negligence in Chilli- cothe, it has been rumored that under- hand methods of retaliation would be resorted to by those who were hit by the sermon. The crusade has already borne fruit. Several immoral persons have left the city and it is the intention of City At- torney Frank Ashby and Chief of Police Dorney, they say, to rid the city of all objectionable characters.

one another. It is ‘the duty of the man told off to watch the herd to avoid alarming them. and also to turn their line of travel and keep them conven- jently near the place where the Ked- dah is being prepared by a host of laborers with the utmost rapidity. The inclosure is made a hundred yards or more in diameter. It has no pitfalls—that cruel method of. capture has been abolished—but incloses many trees. Two strong fences are construct- ed, stretching out like the sides of a V for half a mile or so from the en- trance. The inclosure fence and the fences forming the V are made strong enough to withstand the most violent rush of the most powerful elephant and are covered with leaves and branches. Hid- ing places for men are made every- where. Great tree trunks are placed ready to fall across the opehing of the inclos- ure and imprison the elephants. When all ts ready the herd is gently steered toward the V and daily pressed nearer to it. When within a mile of it the men form a vast circle from one limb of the V to the other, surround- ing the herd, but keeping at a distance. The Critical Stage. The time is now critical, for if the herd turns about a month may be lost

in getting it back. All the men have tins, cans, bells, | drums, fireworks and other means of | making a notfse. From time to time, One of them coughs or gives a knock as he notices the herd tending his way. At night fires are lighted around the circle, too far off to alarm the ele- phants, but intended just to keep them together. At length the herd is within the Outer points of the V and the circle draws nearer. The situation is more critical and excitement rises. The elephants begin to suspect. and may stand for a whole day thinking. It is one of their ways to be puzzled by a little thing. The men must be patient and remain in hiding till they have made up their minds. At length the beasts begin to move toward the tinclosure, eating a little as they go. The V grows narrower and they do not like the looks of

things: they also suspect that all! is not right behind them. They again to think. The moment for action has come: the elephants must be driven on. So the men show themselves and set up a terrific shout, yan iy | a complete line, four or five deep, from fence to fence. Rang! Bang! Go the Bombs, Bang! Bang! go their bombs and crackers, while sky-rending yelis drown the din of the cans and drums, for, if the 50 elephants charge back the army of men will go down like a fringe of reeds. But they do not charge. The terri- fied beasts rush hither and_ thither, waving trunks and trumpeting fran- tically. There is not half a second The men get more frenzied. Then the foremost elephants pass the entrance. Others follow. They are re- lieved to find more apace. The whole herd goes through and the bars fall. Then there is instant reaction. The men jump and laugh and shout “Wah! Wah! Shabash!” (Bravo! Well. done!) They spread out on the ground to rest and smoke, and then go to the camp to eat. Meanwhile, with the imprisoned ele- phants, terror has given piace to rage, and they charge madly but vainly at tho fence. : Next day they are quieter and sey- to lose. Stop |!

Phen some men creep in with ropes and keep out of view behind the tame a monkeys or $ foxes. that their new friends -are to be. tied up. Alas! They themselves were not many years before. They know also that their friends must be prevented from seeing the men. So they stand alongside and push them this way and that way and, as the wild ones turn. they turn too, ever keeping one of their huge limbs as a screen in front of the man who is swiftly roving one foot after another, while an assistant makes each rope fast around a tree. It is risky work for the men. but verv shortly every elephant is fast tied and the men retire. Monster Beasts in a Fury. Then the captives get furious once more, struggling against the ropes des- perately and trumpeting their loudest. Some are so violent there is danger of their tearing a foot off. But the trained elephants subdue them by butting them with their heads and thrashing them with their trunks. There are always little baby elephants With a large herd, and nobody minds what they do. They run all over the place, ever and anon returning to their mothers, and wondering what has hap- pened. . Alternate hunger and treats of sugar cane, with other sweets, make the cap- tives first tame and then submissive, and their feet are released one by one. Then in.from three to six months their taming and training is complete. The chief show in India nowadays for the benefit of sporting tourists is an elephant fight. Two monsters are picked for the combat. They are not allowed to do each other serious harm as they did in the old days, when a King kept sev- eral hundred elephants, but they drive and push at each other with tremendvus activity till one is all but Knocked over, and, losing heart, turns tail and refuses to continue the combat.

The boy and his mother owned an 980-acre farm in | Wright County, Missour!l. Tom Morbett , wanted possession of this farm, but the boy’s guardian and grandfather, George | Hunter, a retired merchant of Aurora, | Mo., refused to sign the deed. | When Mr. and Mrs. Morbett were first |married Earl Ford was making his {home with his grandfather. The mar- |rilage was opposed by George Hunter, | , but, alter she had been married a vear | or more,- Mrs. Morbett began writing j letters to her parents, telling how nice- ly they were getting along. Later came a request from Morbett asking that the | boy be sent to live with them, But Hunter didn’t like Morbett and he objected. Morbett went to Aurora sev- eral times and requested that the boy return home with him. Finally Hunter yielded. 3,

He made boxer in his first appearance as a at Mile-fnd road apainst a big brulser knewn Henry the Coalheuver. Pierce Egan tells that Mendoza beat this fellow in 40 minutes. He did not, however, adopt the ring as a profession until 1787. he across the pugilistic with and .brilliancy comet. AS a about the than any peers. His qnd precision of toree of arms. gerviceable.

Mend .za’'s style of fighting, being new and sk liful, gave rise to a deal of dis- cussion among the experts of the day. It was weld that he was graceful and showy, tut not as effective as the stolid fellows who accepted punishment and hit back hard. This point is, after 200 years, still a vexed question, though the weight of evidence seems to be on the side of the heavy hitter. In the case of Mendoza his practice and theory seemed to be all right. He hit oficner and quicker than any of his antagonists and was never at all equaled by a man of his own weight. He was a rather small fellow, being but 5 feet 7 inches in height and weigh- ing only 165 pounds. Mendoza’s First Fight. It was on April 17, 1787, that Mendoza really made his first regular ring debut. Hie met a butcher named Martin of Bath ai Barnet racecourse. Martin had given jentleman Humphries a _ hard fight and was a man of wide reputa- tion. YSwey fought for $125 a side. Men- doza wen after 20 minutes of very fast and hard fighting. Humphries, a good took five times as long to beat Martin the previous year. At this period Humphries, the Gentle- man Boxer, was the star of the ring. Like Mendoza, he was not a large man, and relied upon speed and skill rather than strength and power of attack. He stood with the right foot first and led off with his right hand, a faulty, but, as a rule, puzzling attitude. He was, how- ever, regarded as a model of skill and grace. Mendoza and Humphries had a casual turn up at the Cock, a hotel at Epping. Kiumer held that Humphries had much the best of the rencontre. This led toa meeting on Jan. 9, 1788, at Odiham Hampshire _6n a wooden stage. The early rounds of the battle were .stub- bornly contested, but in favor of Men- doza, who attacked with great fury. Humphries found the wet stage—it list as us horizon of a shot the speed Mendoza knew more and pr predecessors of rather than showy, but delivered power, but speed and of modern or and pugilist theory of his style or was one hitting He was blows were and lacked with great was raining—hampered him so he took | off hig shoes.

The Hebrews London, who were very much devoted to their pugilists, were almost bankrupted by the result. The Hebrew race has been noted for its love of pugilism and its great faith in those members its faith and nation who excelled the pastime.

Mike Ryan, the Irish champion had all but beaten Tom Johnson, sec- onded Mendoza. Johnson, himself, wes back of Klumphries. Five thousand per- sons saw the fight. Sir Thomas Aprece was the Hebrew’'s umpire. After 40 minutes’ fighting, in Mendoza displayed great superiority in siopping and hitting and wrestling. Humphries went.down without being hit. Mendoza claimed foul, which Sir Thomas Aprece, his umpire, allowed. Alderman Coombe, who was umpiring for Humphries, would not allow or dis- allow the claim. There was a wild dis- pute. Ryan called Johnson a Har in the heat of the discussion and the Irish- man and the former champlon came to- gether. They were parted and after a long argument, Mendoza consented to re-engage in fight. After fighting for half an hour, Mendoza made a good feint and Humphries dropped in expec- tation of a blow. Caught by Mendoza's ruse—there was no blow started—Hum- phries was declared the loser. Mendoza displayed wonderful skill and superiority in this contest. He im- proved very much over his first fight with Humphries. Instead of rushing wildly, he moved in with coolness and determination, stood up manfully and did some wonderful stopping, especially of blows aimed at his stomach. Only once did‘ Humphries reach him in dis- tance spairing and that was on the face. The Englishman landed many blows tn the clinches, but none in clean hitting. Humphries was very much cut about the face. His eves were closed, his nose mashed and lips slashed to pieces and he spat mouthfuls of blood from the effects of body blows. Humphries Tries Again. Humphries, however, was not by any méans satisfied that he was the inferior man. He held that he was “wrangled” out of the fight by the Irishman, Ryan, and demanded another battle with the Hebrew. So on Sept. 29, 1790, the men met for the third and last time in an inn yard at Doneaster. An immense crowd saw the fight, as it was St. Leger and Cup week, Col. Hamilton umpired for Men- doza, and Johnson, who seconded Hum- hries in the preceding battle, was be- ind Mendoza in this. Sir Thomas Aprece was again his umpire. Mr. Har- vey Ashton was chosen as third um- pire to settle any difference of opinion between the other two. For tive rounds Humpbries fought on the offensive and did good work. Then his speed left him and Mendoza gave him a terrific drilling and licked him to a standstill. As in their previous May 6, who

The betting was 2 to 1 on Warr then. Mendoza, however, came back in great shape, showed the utmost pluck and ended every round thereafter by knocking Warr down. He won in 97 rounds.

The Will in this way get a better their work and will do away chief source annoyance fans and officials, the unfit- ed umpire. Mr. Holland states that he received @ number of applications this position, of which three will selccted and one will probably be a reserve. A the officiating to the resident f or his from the , ol One Umpire to Hold Over. But member of last vear’s staff will return, Stephen Cusack of Chicago. He has been considering an offer from the New York State League, but it thought he will be loyal to the'‘'Three- I.’ Among the candidates who will be tried out in April are Michael Law- rence of Peoria, Otto Pranke of Pana, Daniel Boland of Chicago and George Ramsey of Wisconsin. Others will be kept in reserve end given trial in case any of the four-mentioned prove unsat- isfactory. President Holland has completed a re- vised schedule, to.lowing the sugges- tions made at the recent meeting in Chi- cago, and wili send out copies during the coming week. The schedule will be but slightly dissimilar to that first adopted in Chicago, but which was later rejected when word was received from Cedar Rapids, asking for games during the great centennial celebration on June ll to 16. in the previous schedule Ope is the Western end of the

' circnit clubs were at the’ eastern during that week. In the new schedule to the West. Peoria and Decatur ure placed at Cedar Rapids during cen-en- nial week, getting three games each. The holidas combination of games 1s not changed, the arrangement in all the schedules being thought wise by the various clubs. Davennort is anxious have. the season opened at home, while Ccdar Rapids and Dubuque desired to open at the southern end of. the circuit, be- Heving that the weather would be more settled. President Holland finds it hard to suit all in the makeup of the schedule, but is trying hard to do so. Plans fer Opening Games. to In his new schedule he places Rock Island at Davenport, Bloomington at Peoria, Cedar Rapids at Springfield and Dubuque at Decatur for the opening games. He is hopeful that this arrange- ment wi.l suit. Dayerport wished the season to open on May 1 instead of May 3, but the other clubs objected to any more open dates than necess:ry By opening on the first of the month two additional open. dates are forced. The season, therefore, will open on May 3, as originally arranged. Dubuque complained because that team. opened the season abroad and closed abroad. This was made neces- “ary by the fact that it was thought essential that Davenport and Rock Is- land opened and closed together, and in giving Dubuque both the Memorial and Labor Day games it was compulsory that the season open in the West at Cedar Rapids and also close in that city. Dubuque has been given an op- portunity to waive the Labor Day game in favor of Cedar Rapids, and if this is agreed to the season will end at Du- buque. —_— o~- e--- - Pilgrims Play Socker. the Pilgrims’ 2 successful The three members of team, which recenily made tour in Canada and America, played in a match between the Amateurs and Professionals in Southern England the Other day.

Miss Webster can to Kansas City about one year as» and secured em- ployment as cook in: Aaurant near the Union Depot. Thi: pened to be the same place where Jelley was working.

Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, -drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. ‘Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic, It absorbs the injurious gases which eoliect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poisons 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 Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmiess antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition f the general health and complexion, aweeter breath and purer blood, and he 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: “I ad- vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the com- plexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is ereatly 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 believe I get more and better char- coal in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal

Thrown From Mount at New | Undergraduates of State Uni- Orleans on Way to ‘ Post, NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27.—At the Fair Grounds racetrack today Frankie O'Neill, the highly paid and leading jockey of the «American turf at the present time, was the victim of a pain- ful accident, which may result in his retirement from the saddle. While on the back of the 2-year-old black Mate in the second race en route to the past, O'Neill was thrown over the fence. Elis leg became twisted in the saddle ways. In falling his knee cap and leg were painfully wrenched. The fall also rendered him unconscious, Freeman was placed in Black Mate’'s saddle and the race run with the full complement of starters. Thenews of O'Neill's accidemt causea general regret which was in a way atoned for by the immediate and clean- cut victory of Black Mate.

versity Sympathize With Removed Coach. COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan, 27.—The sum- mary discharge of Coach John F. Mec Lean Thursday for’ goin into his own pocket to .pay Akerson, the crack full back for his services on the Missouri football team, has kicked up the big- gest furore in the history of Missouri athletics. Four hundred students stood at the station yesterday when McLean left Columbia after living here for four years, and wildly cheered him as the train pulled out. McLean was never more popular here than on the day of departure. lt is emphatically declared by stu- dents as well as several of the most prominent members of the faculty, that McLean is a matyr to his own gener- osity, and that because he was willing to put up his own money to redeem the humilating record of the Missouri team for the last nine years, he lost his of- ficial head throwgh the opposition of Dr. Hetherington, director of athletics, who has succeeded at the cost of con- Stant defeats, in making Missouri famous as the only pure team in the United States . Many declare that they are sick of the very words “pure athletics,’’ and that the Missour! University team is a disgrace to the State and the laughing stock of all other colleges in this sec- tion. Several university professors talked freely of the matter today, though requesting that their names be withheld for various reasons. One said: “The time has come when there must be a change or the students will quit athletics in disgust. I am in favor of pure athletics, but am not in favor of a director ruling absolutely in a matter that so deeply concerns not only the students, faculty and alumni, but the people of the State, for the reason that Missouri cannot afford to be laughed at by neighboring States because the State team makes such a pitiful and even ridiculous showing. The recent scandal about McLean wiil, of course, make us appear. still more ridiculous and our honesty will naturally be; doubted.’”’ Another professor said: “I am in fa- vor of abolishing football altogether. McLean is the only official here who has actually tried to put a little life in- to the team, by acting as the coaches of the rival State teams do and he is rewarded by being promptly fired on the very day he made his frank and manly confession.”’ The end is not yet. Walter Williams, chairman of the executive committee of the board of curators, said when inter- viewed this afternoon that there may be further developments at any time.

SAFETY PLAY MAY WIN HAUSER CUP Probable That Campbell or

Whip Almost Any Man That Ever Wore Uniform. “The greatest scrapper I ever saw wearing a baseball uniform,’’ said Billy Joyce, ‘‘was Fred Dunlap. The hardest to deal with, Paddy Gillen, and the most rantankerous cuss of them all, Fred Lewis. “Dunlap was the Beau Brummel of the ball field. Always a neat dresser and dapper in manner he was an ex- quisite you would be glad to promenade with. But with it all he was not a lady’s man, Short, stocky and sturdy in build, he was the greatest rough-and- tumble scrapper I have ever seen. “Perry Werden and Fred got into an altercation one day at the old Union Park, Jefferson _and Cass avenues, and the argument was carried to such ex- tremes that Fred finally went up to the giant Werden, who towered over tle diminutive second baseman about two feet. “We'll settle this right here,’ sald Dunlap, shaking his fist under Perry's nose. “ ‘Naw! You don’t catch me getting into any trouble,’ said Werden. ‘You've got nothing to do with it, yelled the irate Dunlap. ‘We'll strip right here. If you’re afraid of getting fined, we'll agree not to smash each ether in the face. But scrap we will. “Sure enough, the two stripped, and bystanders among the 2% persons who were present in the room helped the men tie their suspenders around their trousers for belts. Away they went, hammer-and-tongs. Werden tloored the little fellow five times, but Dunlap hung to him like a bull terrier to a rat. Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes had gone by when Dunlap succeeded in tripping. his adversary. Down toppled the _ giant with Dunlap on top of him. ‘* ‘Now cry enough!’ yelled Fred, aim- ing a right at Werden. ; ‘Enough!’ puffed Werden, ‘I’m out. “So he was, for Duplap by agreeing with Werden not to punch in the face had outwitted big Perry, saved his good looks and got to Werden's most vul- nerable point.’’ ‘Some years later,” continued Joyce, “I aided Werden in gathering a team to play at Lincoln, Neb. I in- duced Paddy Gillen, years before a great pitcher and a clever boxman even then, to join Werden’s charges. Jack Brennan, who afterwards um- pired, was another player wno was with the team. Gillen was a_ hard drinker. “The boys were to meet at the depot, where they had already sent their traps and baggage in advance of them. They all turned up at 7:30, the arene time, with the exception of Gill Jillen. I was at the station waiting for Gillen. Inquiries of the baggage men elicited the reply that there was no baggage there for us. Werden was positive it had been sent to the depot, and further investigation on the part of the baggageman showed that an expressman had called for the stuff and taken it away. “‘Eiere is the man now,’ said our in- formant, pointing to a teamster who was entering the door. “‘What did you do with our bag- gage?’ said Werden to him. “"‘What baggage is that?’ “‘Why. under direction of Gillen, answered the exptessman, ‘I think was his name. He had the checks for all the stuff. Said you fellows owed him money and that he was going to ‘et even.’ ee Where did he have you deliver the stuff?’ said h pap bors grabbing the teamster by the colar, OAt a awn shop at Fourth and Mar- ket,” puffed the man. “He got $10 for the outfit. ’”’ “Sure enough, Gillen had pawned all the uniforms and personal belongings of those boys who were to leave that night for Lincoln. A sorer bunch you never saw. “Will Stoops, now a policeman here in St. Louis, was one of the players who was to go with the team. and he wanted to lick me for getting Gillen on the team. That little episode finished Gil- len’s baseball career in St. Louis. “Pred Lewis was the center fielder of the old Browns before the days of Curt Welch. He was a terrific hitter, but a man of violent temper. P. Caylor, the Cincinnati scribe, incurred Lewis’ wrath one day, and the big outfielder took {mmediate action. Caylor was a visitor in St. Louis with the Reds. After he had made up his score he: stopped at the clubhouse on his way out of the park. All the play- ers had gone with the exception of Lewis. “Nice stuff you're handing out about me,’ he yelled, grabbing Caylor by the neck, “Well, it's fact,’’ exclaimed the little reporter. ‘Well I'll show you what [ do with fellows like you,” said the giant, and, picking Lewis up like a baby, he car- ried him to one of the lockers in which the players kept their clothes, shoved

No more convincing proof of the evil influence that unfair dealing in football and athletics eéxerts upon young manhood could be presented than that which Coach McLean of Missouri adduces against that portion of the alumni of Misouri State Un- iversity which promised to defray the expenses of ptayer Akerson at Columbia, and refused to-keep that promise. “These members of the alumni, Says McLean’ told me that they wanted to hire an entire team of big iron workers to represent the Uni- versity. I told them that it would not do but called their attention to Akerson, who was a good player, but who wanted money for his work. They agreed to pay him. I advanced the money. When I asked for it they made good by sending my letter to the University authorities. The re- Sult of their dupiicity is that I have Lost my money and my job.’ Could any stronger argument against the iniquitous effects of athletic chicanery be advanced? Such men lO Not respect the spirit of honesty, truth or sportmanship. Let us win at all hazards. But do we always Win when we are victorious’? the norse, Friendiess, had plenty of friends’ when the betiors at New Or- leans discovered that he was.a “ring- er, This is the time of year when owners of big basebail teams are worrying about now their new players will turn out. It is also the season when man- agers of semi-protessional teams are pe- ginning to look for umpires upon whom they can depend when they visit the suburban towns in Illinois and Missouri. Has Jake Bene signed Al Warner yet? Since Gans has shown up in good form Battling Neison is not willing that Jim- mie Britt should fight anyone but him- self. Prior to Gans’ victory Nelson would not fight James until he got $touv bonus. A change has come over the Spirit of his conduct. The utter fallacy of publishing inter- views with managers of professional athletes relative to what chance of suc- cess their proteges may have in immi- nent strife is forcibly illustrated by the Herford-Gans case. Prior to Gans’ fight with Sullivan, Herford said that the negro was all in and that he would not bet 6 cents on him. This Mr. Her- ford now declares was merely done that he might get a bet on Joe. ‘That little game won me $5000,” said Herford. A man that will do these things and then boast of them has a soul tnat would fit finely in the track of a flea. The sporting writer who knows, and knows he knows, and who has cénfi- dence in his own judgment, is worth more to himself and his readers than a million interviews from such arrant' de- ceivers as these pugilistic managers. Mr. Tinlen, secretary of the Central Illinois Socker Footbai] League, was a Visitor in St. Louis yesterday. A na- tive of Newcastle, England, Mr. Tinlen is one of those delightful Britons you meet every now and then. Thorowghiy familiar with English sports of. ail kinds, he is a most entertaining’ man to the sporting editor. He is a veritable encyclopedia of English sport, espe- Clally sprint running, rowing, foetball, coursing and cricket. Mr. Tinlen says that a great colony of miners from Newcastle has been estab- lished in the coal districts of Ifinois near Springfield. Newcastle is the greatest sporting city in the world, London, perhaps, excepted. While the British metropolis may excel the north- ern city in attendance at and in vol- ume of indulgence in sport, Newcastle has a rare and rich variety of sport of its own. It has been headquarters fo: fighting dogs and rat-baiters from time immemorial. Chicken fighting has also lived in Newcastle when it died every- where else in England. What few good boxers have been developed in England Since the days of Sayers have come from the tewn of the pits. Jack Pal- mer, present champion of England, is a native of the colliery town. There is some talk just now of O’Brien going to England to take Palmer on hand for an $8000 purse.

St. Louis since the World's Fair era that they offer an inviting field for specula- tion as to which is the fairest among them. To. be the prettiest girl in so big a@ city ts a dig- tinction which it is quite natural for the femi-— nine heart to cherish, and where there are ‘so many of obvious charm %t 1s not easy to choose. The man who taketh a walled city is no such hero as he that judgeth @ baby show, and some such measurement of courage ts ap- plicable to the delicate matter of choosing the prettiest girl. Yet, to determine who ts the prethest girl in this city, famous for the beauty and charm of its women, is a task which i were coward- ice to avoid. If St. Louts had no pretty wom- en to boast of, we would be as discreet as _some. other American cities and keep terribly mum on the subject; but we have no wish to imply by silence.that we are in the same sad boat with these unfortunate communities. Rather risk the displeasure of some who can- not agree in the choice. Many persons in St. Louts today assert that the prettiest girl in this city is Miss Vio- let Scarritt, who made her debut last fall. In the fresh charm of youth, in vivacity and im unconscious naivete, they consider her to be not only the prettiest girl in local society, but ong. of the prettiest they have ever Miss Scarritt is the daughter-of Mry les H. Scarritt of Cabatine. “She is a blond of the unpronounced type. She has features typically American, and her friends say there is mischief at the corners of her mouth and laughter lurking about her eyes. Necessarily, where the honor ts so great, all are not agreed, and there are those who, while admitting Miss Scarritt to be an un- usually pretty girl, say they would not call her “the prettiest girl in St. Louis.” They now, perhaps, some pretty brunette whose beauty it ts not, they think, within the range of any blond’s prettiness to excel; or, may- hap, some blond of the daintiest type, Miss Scarritt being. quite an athletie girl. =~ mineano, a Reenhy ew + * rs, ee —. ~~ es, a rh ore den permet et ghenns. medal a le a oe eel rieped: Nee a > gS one ‘FF ; in PE INE Re es ORE ONION IPT ’ sedi ettie pata tes eke a 4 en De oa idk de. > ' ’ , 0 lod res a tse ce inet ean ROO ARG ‘ ‘ ion ead : pee enna Wty - Tea . { = 4 *. try ‘ 2h} : : ree eh te > a-yot? sanotens ee ae Al ete a ea eT ohare : 7 ee ee en ee oe Y ~e ah : : ; tt : ‘ ois 4: +s oeh A> py ey sagen ee i i ooscaekadieaed ; : Li ; aca wAtm « 4 yeu nagel é a ” ee - eee . > Sete ete Reve er aa be 4 es sopey .. ee eae enh can ee , a nh apeeeeeadt hia si Pop ‘ a Piette stbdabimese9 —— eee ee FE setae aks oe sana RT a Sap eee ae aaah aaa oi eet * " ether eae Somer $8 Mreedcayseronve ste EE wri .

Rather than beso quitter, and realizing that nowhere else in all the world could he find so lovely and desirable a bride, Mayor Sorbler a few months ago came to St. Louis and married a South Side matron, the cere mony being the culmination of a pretty Exposition romance.

Did Mr. Kleinsmith need dresses for some children or a competent person to take charge of a house of sorrows, pending other arrangements, he called upon Miss Mover, and the clothing was at hand and a real helper was introduced into the house.

And what ‘is his reward? .Who sheds any tears for father? Who:ever asks “What Is Home Without a Father?’ There are’ many beautiful songs about mother; there are only three. about father. One is “Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Meenow.” (from the saloon), the second is’ “Everybody Works but Father,” and the third is “The Load that Father Carried.” Always something slanderous about the poor old man—never a word about his virtues. Let us do justice to father. Let us tell the truth about him. Let us picture his hardships, his pa- tience, his fortitude and his unrewarded virtue. Then perhaps people will understand him better, and even mother and the children will be kind-to: him at home. SUNDAY JAN .28 1906 SECTION OF ST.
