ee ee LALLY BORROWED TRUM POLICEMAN Inspector of Police Has Repard $600 Since the Death of Creditor,

LOAN SECURED BY NOTES

Mother of Patrolman William Boka Tells of Financial Transactions. An instance of the loaning of money by a policeman to a superior officer, of which Chief Kiely had knowledge before the settlement of the debt, has been revealed in the investigation of the Police Department, which has now reached the phase of examination into alleged payments of money for places on the police force and for promotions and desirable transfers, Since the death of Patrolman William Boka in Deceinber, 192, his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Boka, administratrix of his estate, says that she has collected $600 from Edward Lally, Inspector of Police, In payment of loans made to Lally by her son during the two years before his death. The last $14, she says, was paid immediately after’ she had called on Chief Kiely and complained of Lally’s failure to make the payment at the time agreed on. Mrs. Boka and her daughter, Miss An- nie Boka, said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Tuesday at their home, 3315 Chip- pewa street, that they were informed of the loans several] months before the death of their son and brother, who was fatally injured in a street car accident at Olive and Channing avenue. “William never explained to us why he .made the loans,’’ said Mrs. Boka. ‘‘He owned property in St. Louis Coun- ty, and had an income aside from his salary. Other men in the department knew this, and several patrolmen bor- rowed money from him at different times, in sums of $25 or so. But Lally was the heaviest borrower. Aided by Politician. “My son loaned Lally $150 some time before he went on the force in Sep- tember, 1896, but I understood that this was paid back before he was appoint- ed. I never learned that Lally helped him to get on the foresee. He told mea South St. Louis pontician helped him more than anyone else. ‘Fle served first in this district, from \Wvoming Street Station, then in Soulard street d'strict, then on the Broadway squad, and, at the time he was killed, he. was in the Manchester avenue dis- trict, the Kighth. I never heard him sav much about his transfers or how he got them, except that he said he was giad to get off the squad, as he pre- ferred walking a beat tuo standing on corners. “Quite a while before he was killed he told us about having loaned, the money to lIally, and showed us the notes, which weré just a receipt and promise to pay. without fixing any rate of in- terest or time for payment. “After he died Annie and I went to Four Courts to get an order for nearly a month's salary, which was coming to him. We took the notes along and called en Lally. He said he would pay us the $600, but that we must give him time. We agreed that he should pay $50 a month,

Appeal Made to Chief. “He paid $450 as he had agreed, usu- ally on the 3d of each month, sending or bringing the money to us. Then the regular time passed and we didn’t hear from him. We sent him word that we wanted the monew, but it didn’t come. and one morning we went to see Chief Kiely. “We told the Chief about Lally’s debtedness to my son's estate. and enid. ‘Does he refuse to pay?’ “"No,’ I said, ‘he hasn't refused to pay, but he hasn't paid us at the time he promised.’ “Well,” said the Chief, in- ‘unless he re- me to _ do, I think the money. “And sure enough. the whole came to the house that afternocn. had only expected the regular $50. sent Lally his last note back. not seen or heard from him since. Mrs. Boka and her daughter said that they were willing to tell the Policc e you'll get We so, but that they had no desire to make trouble for Inspector Lally.

Mrs. Levi during the struggle became hysterical, but sat still in the middle of the bed, refusing to budge. Her husband struck the negro in the face during the struggle in the half-lit room. The noise of the fight and Mrs. Levi's screams awakened Harry Londe, who occupies an adjoining room of fhe house, and he entered the room through window the negro had left open. Together Londe and Levi subdued the negro after his face had been bruised vy Levi's blows. Then Abraham Silver- stein, another occupant of the was sent to Carr Street Station policeman. Lieut.

Then followed one of those confronta- tions which so delighted Goy. Folk when he was engaged in the boodle investi- gations.

* ‘Anatomical Expert Says Man Was Between 35 and 40, With Aquiline Nose and His Skull Had Been Fractured Four Times, None Being Fatal. ’ — Louis County authorites are seeking information of any man by the name of White who has been missing for a year or eight months, as they bclieve that to be the name of the man whose skele- ton was round last week in a desolate spot on Frederick M. Schroe- der’s farm. 22 miles north of St. Louis. There is a likelihood that the man came from Kansas City or v vicinity and the search has ex- tended to -that territory. The name White is a laundry mark on two collars found. im the ground near where the skeleton was discovered. The collars are of the wing variety, size 16. After being dug from the _ frozen ground in which the bones of the skele- ton were partially buried the bits of clothing and paper were thawed out by Constable John Mueller. Tuesday he took the pieces to the Sheriff's office at Clayton, where they were closely €x- amined. In. the hip pocket a copy of the Wyandotte (Kkar.) Weekly ap eae, was found folded up. It was rotten and fell into bits when handled, There were references in it to political con- ditions in Wyandotte County, which is in Kansas, and adjoins Kansas City, Mo. The paper contained references to the Russo-Japanese war and what appeared to be a chronological history of the conflict. Time Table Dated daly, 1906. A Wabash Railroad time card dated July, 196, was also found. This time card is held to established the date of the man’s death as less than eight months ago. A white handkerchief, un- marked, and @ linen napkin with a red check similar to those used in cheap restaurants, were also found.

The records of the Police Depart- ment show that Frank B, White was reported missing by a Mr. Wailace, who gave the Laclede Hotel as his address, Oct. 8, 1905. The report said that the man had been missing since the previous day and his age was giv- en as 33. Police records do not shaw whether the man was found. The register at the Laclede Hotel shows that W. W. Wallace registered there Oct. 8 from Chicago, and was assigned to room 257. He registered between 6 and 11 p. m. Some time after 1i p. m. F. P. White registered from Chicago, and was assigned to room 253. Each paid for his room in advance according to the hotel regis- ter, and they remained but one night. The hotel clerks say they have no recollection of any inquiries being made there for a missing man named White. Skull Has Four Fractures. Expert anatomical examination of the skull of the skeleton has brought out the remarkable fact that the man's skull had been four times fractured, none of the injuries being the cause of his death, which remains a mystery. The four upper front teeth were lost from a blow or in an accident. The three lower front teeth may have been lost at the same time, but the gold bridges were not, it is thought, put in by the same dentist. This bléw or acci- dent accounts for the fact that 11 teeth in the mouth when found—originally 12— had been crowned or capped with gold, giving the man one of his most dis- tinctive features, while the other teeth were Sound for his age. Dr. Peter Potter, head of the anatonfi- cal department in Marion Sims-Beau- mont College, the medical branch of St. Louis University, and one of the two highest authorities in St. Louls on questions pertaining to his science, ex- amined the skull at the request of the Post-Dispatch, and gave an opinion on it which enables a partial description of the man. Age Between 3% ang 40 Sears. “ll was not more than # vears old and not leas than 3%,’ Dr. Potter said. “He had brown ha'tr, clipped close— a few strands were found adhering by’ mud to the back of the skull. He had a peculiarly shaped face. The nose was aquiline, or ‘Roman, with a decided s'eni to the left. “The whole face had this pecullar di«- similarity of sides. The left cheekbone was not so high as the right. Just back of it, and in front of the left ear, there was probably a depression, due to what appears to have been a fracture of the zygomatic arch. “The man's jaw was extremely heavy, strongly muscled, and the had a pro- truding chin. The chin must have been) one of hig prominent features. Uniess he wore a mustache the gold rae would have marked him strongly. Lis eyes the forehead was highly oe. velopea. Prominent ridges. were there. “The forehead was well mazes!” bus the heavy chin, prominent ridges over the eves and whole conformation of the face gave it a receding slant!

UNITED STATES THE WORLD’S JOKE, SAYS ENGLISH FUNNY MA

Jerome K. Jerome, he of “The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow,’ these days. which he hase agreed turing and reading from his published works. And in the meantime he finds time for an eight or ten-mile constitu- tional each day, for he is a husky Eng- lishman, devoted outdoor exercise. First, let it be known that stories that Mr. Jerome pronounces his name with the accent on the first syllable are untrue. He says that his name is Jerome, pronounced in the usual man- ner. This applies to the first one of the Jeromes as well as the second. With this preliminary let Mr. Jerome, who appeared Monday night at Y. M. C. A. Hall, in company with Charles. Battell ‘Loomis, be introduced. Imagine a smooth-faced, ruddy- cheeked Englishmah,* taedium height and almost perfectly formed, with a slight tendency to an increased girth, that is practically overcome by walk- ing, with a serious mien that is belied by twinkling eyes, and a mouth that will go up at the ends when the owner ‘tries to have the corners droop and be serious, a musical voice with a broad “a’’ but without the, suspicion of a drawl, an alert manner and a readiness in repartee. That is the way Mr. Jerome looked to a Post-Dispatch reporter. Mr. Jerome said frankly at the outset of the interview that he is prejudiced against American newspaper reporters. He says they have misrepresented him, have alluded to trifling personal peculi- erities, have made him Say things he did not say and in a way that he could not Say or think them. The promise was made that Mr. Jerome should have fair treatment, and he sat down comfortab]\ and was ready to talk. United States a Joke. “What is the most pronounced charac- teristic of Americans that you have no- ticed?’’ was the first question directed at Mr. Jerome. , “It is a tendency to laugh, to play the buffoon, to be boyish in spite of age,’ asserted Mr, Jerome. “It is noticeable everywhere. The United States is be- coming the world’s joke because it re- gards itself as a joke. Men and nations are likely to be taken at or near their own valuation of themselves. We like old—as.much out of place as girlish, kit- tenish ways in an old maid.” Mr. Jerome spoke rapidly and with apparent sincerity. But the: corners of his mouth went up and his eyes twin- kled. “Americans do not like men who take themselves too seriously,” suggested the

Americans make a Mr. Jerome. ‘‘Life Events of import- is where declared “That “But, your own occupation,” began the reporter. “That is my means of earning a liv- ing,’ interrupted Mr. Jerome. “Some men run grocery stores. They open their shop at 6 or 8 a. m. and put up their shutters at 8 or 10 p. m. I run a humorist’s shop. I open up usual- ly at 8 p. m. and put up the shutters aut 10 p. m. Between those hours I am serious and go about my other af- fairs. “There nothing more _ pathetic than the sight of a man being funny —no, I mean of a man manufacturing jokes for pay. There are at least ten thousand men, fathers of familles, who sit down daily in this country and make jokes on a salary. The only thing that Americans take seriously is the manufacture of jokes.” is One Laugh a Day Enough. “Are the jokes funny?’ was asked. “T have seen sonmre that were. But who wants to laugh all the time? I realize that there is a demand for mirth, but it should not take up all of one’s time. One or two laughs a day is enough for a man. Perhaps two or three a week will do,” Mr. Jerome said this seriously and as if he expected it to be believed. ‘English newspapers,” he continued, “are serious. In that les-tieir value.

WEALTHY TAILOR STIR BED TO DEATH f Music Lover, Carrying Libretto Score, Slain Shortly After Marriage. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Returning from the Metropolitan Opera early this morning to his home at Bath Beach, Alberto Campo, a_ well-to-do tailor, was killed and his body thrown beside a barn. His throat was cut and his body bore four stab wounds. Campo's well-known devotion to high- class music seems to have played a leading part in the fatal tragedy. He frequently went to the opera, but usu- ally was accompanied by his young wife, wedded only a few Last night he went alone and killed as he was returning through the quiet streets of the suburb which is known as Van Pelt Manor. Under his arm Campo carried the score of Meistersinger,’’ tion of the German libretto. The police were informed and began a search, which disclosed a trail the body to Bay Nineteenth _ street. Here, on the sidewalk, they found music, and the turning of turf showed that a desperate struggle had occurred, TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets, Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. §&, W.

No, I really think. the English papers, as a class. are superior to the American papers as a class.’’ English Cam See Jokes. “Tf an American jokesmith, a capable journeyman workman with a union card. should go to England, what sort of a chance would he have?” | “Very little, 1 hope, said Mr. Jerome, earnestly. : . “He would be in no danger’ he con- tinued after a moment's thought, ‘‘ex- ‘ept from starvation. ay the interview Mr. Jerome had been earnestly talking with Mr. Loomis, They were reading and aiscussing a tel- egram that seemed of considerable im- portance, and Mr. Jerome’s mouth was drawn down at the corners.

Neith- er did the reporter. any between ‘Ig there difference sort of American audiences for your show?’ Mr. Jerome was asked. “Not a bit,’ he'replied. ‘There is a vast difference in audiences found 50 miles apart.

This.is true of Amer- wa and of England. From the point of view of the entertainer there is no dif- ference that I can see between Devon- shire and Texas, Sussex and Pennsy|l- vania.”’ Mr. Loomis, who is traveling with Mr. Jerome, is markedly different. He ts one of the 10,000 jokesmiths derided by Mr. Jerome, and has worked earnestly at his trade. He has an ideal face for an undertaker—as long as a fiddle box, But that face is his fortune, kind sir, for it adds greatly to the humor of hia stories.

The animal was two and a half feet | tall, of dull gray color and spotted, and weighed about 75 pounds. The skin will be dressed. It was shipped with two monkeys from Brooklyn and was billed to a zoo on South Broadway. Messenger Charles Rutter, had charge of the crates along the journey, reported to the express office that the leopard hag tried to escape in the after- noon through a hole in its crate. The workmen in the office nalled down a canvas flap over the opening, which was just six inches wide, and thought the animal safe. The leopard’s crates of who crate was on a truck ‘pushed up close to a wall and the side ‘of the crate which had the opening was abcut two feet away from the wall. Without making enough noise to at- tract the aitention of the men who were working within half a dozen feet of him the leopard stealthily worked loose the canvas, squeezed himself through the opening and dropped noiselessly to the floor of the express office. Being of a dark color, and as the electric lights in the room showed poorly through the smoke that came in from the yards, the leopard succeeded in making its way through boxes and crates and trucks and out to the four- foot platform which runs along the tracks. Here he jumped gracefully to the tracks and was lost in the dark- ness. Sdw Animal in the Light. No one Knew of the escape of the ani- mal and of the danger his escape threatened until 8 o’clock.

ATTEMPTS 0 KILL HERSELF ON STAG Occupant of Box in Denver Theater Shoots Self While Audience Watches. DENVER, Colo., Feb. 20.—Shortly after the curtain rose on the first act of yesterday afternoon’s performance at he Crystal Theater, a@ woman rose from cne of the boxes, made her way to the stage, assumed a dramatic puse in full view of the audience and shot herself, inflitcing a fatal wound. She gave her name as Mrs. ©. A. Weilder and is said to be a resident of Denver. Th> woman fell gasping to the floor, but those in the audience who had nat observed her movements before she ap- prvoacred the stage, thoug.it that ‘he shooting was part of a burlesque act and made no outcry. A moment later, however, the scresmis of the performers in the wings told them that a real tragedy had been en- acced. When the woman was picked up by the stage attendants she was uncon- scious. One hand held the wes:.pon, “hile in the other a picture, said to be tvat of her 7-year-old son, was tightly clutched. An ambulance was § 17uT::oned to the door of the theater and the ay- inz woman was removed tv the Lmer- g2ncy Hospital. ; Quiet was restored in the theater in a short while and the performance was resuned. —_———

Biederman forgot his gun. He forgot everything he had meant to do. He ran to the car which was next to the one under which the animal had crept and climbed to its roof. Down below the leopard was crouched on its haunches looking up. at him. Biedermann’s shouts brought Morris and several others armed with guns to the scene, and seeing the leopard be- side the car three of them opened fire. The leopard crawled back under the car, and the men went on either side and opened fire. There was several growls but still the men could see the eves in the darkness. Finally Morris saw the animal creep from under the car and come in his di- rection. He took careful aim and let the leopard have it full in the face. The first discharge of the gun tore away half of the face of the animal. The next discharge entered the shoulder of the leopard and he rolled over dead,

’ USICIANS STRIKE IN A THEATER a Em -—— Manager Fills Vacancies With Non-Union Men and Play Continues. CHICAGO. Feb. 20.—As a curtain- raiser to the performance at the Great Northern Theater last night, the orchestra of eight players went on strike. All are members of the mu- sicians’ union. The only man who re- mained was the leader, Charles Quinn. Manager Eberts had seven nonunion players waiting in his office. When the curtain was rung down at the ¢onclusion of the first act, the substi- tutes 1p eared in the orchestra pit. Leader Quinn took up his baton and the musical program proceeded with- out interruption. The musicians’ union asserted that Mr. Quinn had paid the players only $12 a week, whereas they are en- titled, under the union scale, to $16. Wee

SURPRISED DOCTOR Illustrating the Effect of Food.

The remarkable adaptability of Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so dis- ordered that they will reject every- thing else, is illustrated by the case of Mrs. H of Racine, Wis. “Two years ago,” she says, “I was attacked by a stomach trouble so se- rious that for a long time I could not take much of any sort of food. Even the various kinds prescribed by the doctor produced most acute pain. “We then got some Grape-Nuts food, and you may imagine my surprise and delight when I found that I could eat it with a relish and without the slightest distress. “When the doctor heard of it he told me to take several small portions each day; because he feared I would grow tired of it as I had of all other food. “But, to his astonishment (and that of everybody else), I did not tire of Grape-Nuts, and became better day by day, till, after some weeks, my stom- ach entirely recovered and I was able to eat anything my appetite craved, “My nerves, which had become so weakened that I feared I would become insane, were also restored by the Grape- Nuts food in connection with Postum Coffee, which has become our table bev- erage. I appreciate most gratefully and thankfully the good that your food preparations have done me, and shall be glad to answer any letters inquiring as to my experience.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There a reason. Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.

NEW xyuURAK, Feb. 2u.—The portrait otf the Emperor, King Francis Joseph, tern from the wall and trodden foot last night at an excited meeting of the Hungarian Literary Society, at 158 Second avenue. The meeting was called to protest agaimst the overridipg of the constitution of Austria-Hungary by the King, and it opened in great dis- order, so strenuous were the 500 men in their denunciation of the Sovereign. President Daniel Berkowitz, editor of the -~Hungarian Herald, was in the Ghair, and it was he who made the sug- gestion to take down the life-sized pic- ture of Francis Joseph and substitute that of Theodore Roosevelt. His words were greeted with a roar of approval, and the men in the audience near the portrait fairly fought with each the picture.. The glass and the picture was torn was

VIENNA, i eb. 20.—The situation cre- ated in Hungary by events is one of extraordinary significance. Even the Pesther Lloyd, which up to the present has taken sides with Fejer- vary’s Cabinet, declares that public sen- timent will regard the dissolving of the Diet as unconstitutional and a measure not to be seriously taken. The Coalition parties adhere to their resolution to meet again Wednesday, but as the Diet Building is closed they will gather at another place. ‘1 hey say they shall consider themselves hence- forth the legal Hungarian Diet. So to- day’s astonishing proceedings have only developed another phase of the struggle. ; Quiet has been preserved In both the capital and the provinces.

While her pencil flew over the paper I noted her neat, trim lit- tle figure in its plain shirtwaist and dark skirt, with the French trick of red petticoat below; her high-heeled little shoes, and, above all, her chest- nut hair in an elaborate coiffure, with fancy combs and rhinestone pins hold- ing every hair in place. Berthe Claiche is careful of her appearance, but is dressed with the utmost sim- plicity. “There,” said Berthe, as she signed her name with a flourish, ‘‘maybe that’s the last letter I'll write for a long, long time. I won’t be writing letters while my trial lasts, and I guess I'll not need to write letters after, “Do I think they'll set me free? O, yes! I will tell them how that man beat me; how he told me he would marry me, over there in Paris, where I was working. When the Judge knows that he used to kidnap little girls there and sell them for $30, he will know what a bad man Gerderon was. ‘T shall tell the Judge how he made me support him after he brought me to this country, and how.cruelly he beat me when I would not bring enough money. “The Judge will Know he was a bad man and meant to kill me.’ STORY OF SHOOTING: GIRL ON TRIAL TODAY. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-—lhe trial of Berthe Claiche, a litiije French grisette, for the murder of Emil Gerderon, the man who had enslaved her, was bexzun today. The shooting of Gerdero.a took place on the night of July 8 last. Tor six years Berthe Claiche had been his slave. lie had brought her to this country from France when she was 6 years old and taken all the money he could get from her, and then, after beatings, would send her into the street to earn more. On the night of the shooting Berthe had been beaten by Gerderon and she fled to the street to ask protection of the police. She told the police that Gerderon had beaten her shamefully, and she wanted him arrested. In a few minutes Gerderon strolled along and was taken into custody. On the way to the station the woman suddenly produced a revolver of heavy caliber and fired two shots into the back of the prisoner. Then, us he lay on the sidewalk, she shot him again to make sure he was dead. It is asserted that the girl used a po- lice revolver. Assistant District Attor- ney Ely, who will try the case, declined to talk of that phase of the case, but he admitted that some peculiar inci- dents will be expcsed at the trial. For example, a very short time before Ger- deron was shot he was known to have between $700 and $80 on his person. There was turned into police headuyuar- ters, as the result of a search of his pockets, $1.95. One of the policemen came out plain- ly and said he forced a fellow officer to give up to hiin a diamond locket. a gold watch and a stickpin that had been taken from the dead man, Policeman to Testify.

“This trial will cause a great deal of trouble,” said Policeman Mar- tineau. “I am very sorry that I am mixed up in it, as I will have to tes- tify against a fellow officer. “There are some peculiar circum- stances that may come up on _ the trial. When the man was shot he was walking between me and Police- nan Morton, The woman was imme- diately behind Morton, and Officer Bi- laffer was a few feet in the rear. Be- fore Gerderon came along Morton talked tothe girl for fully twenty minutes, “Gerderon’s body was taken into a drug store near the corner. and when I got back to the scene of the shoot- ing the pockets were all turned wrong side out. A citizen told me that a policeman in uniform, who stood by, had taken Gerderon’s gold watch, a diamond locket and another piece of jewelry. I asked the officer for the articles and he refused to give them up. Then I compelled him to do so by threatening to prefer charges against him." It is expected that the person or persons who rifled. the dead man's pockets will be named. Miss Charlotte Smith, president of the Rescue League, appeared in the Jefferson Market Court yesterday ta testify to the good character of Mrs. rtha Francis, who is accused of at- tempting to bribe Policeman Benja- min Mallam when he served her with & warrant on Saturday charging her with keeping an immoral resort. Mrs. Smith asserts that Mrs. Fran- cis is an important witness for Berthe Claiche, and that the warrant was is- sued to discredit Mrs. Francis’ tes- timony, The policeman alleges that the woman gave him $35 as a bribe to eall the matter off. He thereupon ar- rested her for attempted bribery, PUSHED NEWSBOY OFF CAR Conductor Wheeling Fined $50 by Judge Moore. Felix F. Wheeling, a conductor of the Market street line, was fined $0 by Judge Moore of the Court of Criminal Correction Tuesday for pushing William Cogan of 1606 Olive street, a 12-year-old newsboy, from his car. Jan. 18 the boy boarded the car on Market street, near Eighteenth street. The evidence was that Wheeling, after ordering him off, pushed him. He fell off and his head struck the ground. The car proceeded. Policeman Ward stopped the car and made the conductor pick

the boy up and take him on the car to City Dispensary. He then arrested Wheeling. Wheeling denied that he pushed the boy, but three witnesses said he did. Columbia’s New Bill. The Columbia's bill for this week, which was put on yesterday afternoon, has so many star features that it is dif- ficult to single one of them out as the best, and the entertainment is probably the brightest in the vaudeville line that will be seen here this season. Fanny Rice, who was booked for next week. arrived unexpectedly and was included in this week’s offering, making a great hit in her familiar character-doll act. Edwin Stevens gives a breezy comedy sketch in “A Night Out: Rlizabeth Murray is at her best in a new bunch of ragtime and Irish songs and anecdotes; Brown, Harris and Brown amply justify the title of their act, “Just to ‘Laugh— That's All,” and Rachel Acton, a St. Louis girl, assisted by Minnie’ Vaugn and W.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—While and in the agonies of hydrophobia, George Marshal, a farmer of Genoa, O., was driven over miles of Chicago | streets in a police ambulance, having! been refused admission at three hos-'! pitals.

The -man, who is 48 vears of “Q was bitten by a dog six weeks ago. By advice of his physicians he came to; Chicago to receive medical attention.

Driven to a last extremity, the policeman in charge of the ambu- lance conveyed the patient to the Chi- cago Emergency Hospitaj, where he died at noon. “It was a plain case of hydrophobia,” said Dr. Fletcher of the Iumergency Hospital. delirious

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to pkysicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact tht SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed peopie, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in’ bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company— California Fig Syrup Go., is plainly printed on the front of every package.

If the offer of Mr. Beggs for the North American Co. is the most advantageous from all standpoints, that offer should be accepted. It is only necessary for the city au- thorities to assure themselves that the terms of the contract are advantageous and that they do not involve complications which will check the city in planning for advantageous public lighting in other parts of the city and in the future. Upon its face, Mr. Beggs’ proposition appears very liberal. He offers to put in 906 250-candle power electroliers for all night service and 806 250- candle power electroliers for service until 1 a. m., on the principal streets in the central business district. “This will place four posts to the average block. He offers to supply the posts and defray all the cost ®f construction, repair and maintenance.

There. is no reason why the city should | snot accept this liberal bid, if no other company their money, swallowed up in the belly of the Sys- tem. The investigation cannot but bear this good fruit. Insurance men will be compelled to dissolve the ras- cally partnership with frenzied finance and return to the humbler status of honest custodians of trust funds. And the System, deprived of the greatest source of plunder will collapse as naturally as a balloon flattens out when deprived of the material of flotation. The shocking intelligence telegraphed from Washington that Mr. Longworth strolled about the McLean grounds Sunday wearing a frock coat and A solecism of this magnitude com- is a derby hat. mitted by the President’s son-in-law, at the very outset of his career, is thoroughly discouraging, ooo THE QUESTION. According to an estimate of the character of Matthew Kiely, given by a member of the Police Board for publication in the Post-Dispatch, the sus- pended Chief is “a good police officer, whose fine record in the past cannot be obscured by ordinary charges of misconduct, incompetency or neglect of duty.” This sounds well. It would seem almost cruel to question it. But while he has been Chief of Police, “doing what he was told,” the Police Department has been made part of a machine by the men who “told” him and the machine has been used for the purpose of “slugging” into assent or insensibility citizens of St. Louis who could not have been in- duced otherwise to assent either to the machine’s purposes or-its methods. When a policeman who “does what he is told” is told either to help along work of this kind, to be blind to it while it is in progress or to arrest the citizens who are “slugged” for disturbing the peace of the “sluggers,” the one possibility bf reform in the Police Department lies in getting men who will do right when they are told to do right and right also when they are told to do wrong and right finally even when they are not being told at all. This being the case, St. Louis is ready for the question. : As Kiely’s witnesses former members of the board will appear before the present board as men “higher up,” to whom he looked for instructions. Theré are others, also, no doubt, but without the consent of the president of the board and a majority of its members with him, the police force could not have been converted into the machine they made of it. How was it done? If not on Kiely’s own motion, ‘what did he do when he was told, what was he told to do and who told him? That is the question as it is presented by Kiely’s character as a police officer “with a past which can- not be obscured by ordinary charges.” Let it be put and pressed home to every witness whose influence “higher up” may have been used officially or unofficially to degrade the police force to the purposes of machine lawlessness. >>. — Se.

While we are cheering on the troops sent to the Philippines for possible employment in China, the following excerpt from a letter from the London Times correspondent in China may come like a flood of cold water. “In the tomorrow of the political calendar China will have a standing army of 36 divisions, with a reserve of a quarter of a million men—in other words, an army of half a million. That means that no single country in Europe, except Russia, dare threaten China with armed aggression. Even Russia or Japan, who are on the spot, would hesitate to tackle China, for neither will care to involve them- selves in a war of the first magnitude during the next 10 years. In 20 years China will be able to stand alone, and the far eastern problem, so far as Europe is concerned, will be permanently solved.” The same correspondent says that the army al- ready comprises 10 divisions, and experts who watched the drills declare that the discipline is the best. | Another Pekin expedition is improbable. The whole Chinese problem has been revolutionized since 1900, and the policies of western governments must take notice of the growing power of the empire. For good or evil, China will soon become one of the positive and commanding factors in world politics. >>> oe The Kentucky Baldheaded Club has never recom- mended alcohol for the hair. > Le i> ww eS PAT CROWE.

Oh, life seems fair and bright to a young bride, but little does she think of the sorrows and disappoint- ments that are to be her portion when she trusts her future and happiness to a man who does not realize the value of a young girl's love. “Of course I was crazy to get away from home, and papa was drinking nervously at the time and mamma was threatening to leave him, and I was the only tie that boumd them; but we must not speak harshly of poor papa now. He has gone to his long home, and perhaps we did not understand him. Ally ihe wanted was to be left alone and not hectored and badgered all the time, like mamma used to hector and badger him. That is why I made up my mind that, come what might, I would never say one harsh word, that I would never find fault, that I would suffer in silence. I see now that I was wrong. A man of your disposition, Mr. Nagg, needs some one who will stand up for their rights, and I would be bet- ter off this day and more thought of if I were like some women I Know who are constantly scolding and taking their husbauds to task. “Of course, what I say doesn't inter- est you, and that is why I never say anything, but if you had a wife like Mrs. Dubb, who doesn’t speak to her husband for days, or like Mrs. Stryver, who runs off whenever she and her husband have the slightest difference, and they say she flirts and carries on Troy Jic Carper. and made so much money what they say he either has to pay it back or go to Jail. “TIT should have married some one with more pride.

If have seen men come to the house and give him money in large sums to vote for them, but he always voted for the one that paid him first, because he was so sincere. Mrs. Terwiliger was talking about going to Washington to the wed- ding. She has never missed a fashion- able wedding yet, but she got such a cold and was handled so roughly when she stood outside the church at the Goelet wedding that she told me she didn’t have the heart to go to Washing- ton, because there was no telling about how ladies who wanted to stand around outside might be treated at the White House. ‘IT suppose they had a regiment of Rough Riders trampling over ladies who simply stand outside with scissors in their hands to cut a piece or two off the bride or bridegroom's wedding clothes as a souvenir. This country is getting worse than Russia, where I am told the Cossacks drive people away with whips who gather around the churches at royal weddings.

One of President Roosevelt’s Western friends applied to him for a job. The President was willing and sought to find a place. He had about settled on one when there came a great protest from the WeStern man’s State. “They discovered,”’ said the President, “that he had killed four men. I did not know that. Still the homicide did not form the basis of the protest. The people who opposed tiny friend opposed him not on the ground of killing people, but because they said he was an ag- nostic.”’ They were talking about after-dinner speeches. ‘“‘The cleverest thing I ever heard of,’’ said Charles Hands of the London Daily Mail, who came here to report the White House wedding for his paper, ‘“‘was in a.speech made by James O’Mahoney,an Irishman,who was a barrister, but who came to London to’ go into newspaper work. He went back to Dublin after a time. His Dub- lin friends welcomed him with a din- ner. One of the guests at the dinner was a doctor, whom O’Mahoney hated. The doctor made a speech at the din- ner and O'Mahoney was called up im- mediately thereafter. ‘It is very dis- agreeable,’ he said, ‘to follow the doc- tor so closely. It makes me feel like the undertaker.’ ’’ Secretary Root now has a well-inflat- ed presidential boom. The necessary hot air was furnished by the Washington alumni at Hamilton College. The secre- tary is a graduate. He smiled pleas- antly as the boom was cut loose at a banquet given in honor of Prof. Oren Root, brother of the secretary and: a member of the college faculty. Secretary Root sat at the head of the table. When his admirers put forth a little song asserting their confident be- lief that he will be the next President of the United States, Secretary Root permitted a look of quiet interest to overspread his face, Abram R. Severn, the toastmaster, in presenting Mr. Root as the next speak- er, expressed the hope that he would some day occupy the executive. chair.

The remedy I suggest for poor street car service ig this: In London, England, they have a law that a car can only carry as many people as it has seats for—that is, if it is a car with a seating capacity of 30, it is allowed to carry 30 people, not one more. Ifa conductor permits more than 30 to board the car and is caught doing so. a policeman boards the car. obtains the conductor’s number and he is ordered to appear at court. If the charge is proven, he is fined. My suggestion then is to adopt and enforce laws people to death about it. What are you laughing at, Mr. Nagg; how dare you laugh at me?’ E1-i-hu, You're the only candidate; We'll elect Jou sure as fate, Vote for you, work for you, Always ready, sure and steady; El -i-ha.

WORD FROM © DAY DOCK DEWEY st Heard "ge on Jan. 22 —Being Towed to Manila. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Naval cers are anxious for the safety of the

ary dock Dewey and the members of its “crew, which is being towed to Manila. .Dhe last news from the Dewey was re- -eeived Jan. 22. “miles of the voyage epeake Bay to the Philippines and was gift latitude 27 degrees 44 minutes north She had then made 1500 from the Chesa- and longitude 41 degrees 23 minutes east. The Dewey still has 1800 miles to go to reach Gibraltar, but it was stated ‘at the Navy Department that the dock uld have covered the distance by this made but 60 miles “4 hours. It is not believed that wey has been lost, but the oftf- anxious about her. It is she will make her next report from Madeira. Qne explanation for the delay of the Dewey is that it has met with head winds and a strong head sea. Under these circumstances the De wey can make no progress at all. Those who take a favorable view of the situation declare that she has been making but one knot an hour, and that the dry dock will reach Gibraltar safely. Aderton Funeral in Pasadena.

It is understood, of cuurse, that the compensation ought to bear some relation to the earnings of the road. “We have agreed not only to de- press Our tracks at sroadway and Virginia avenue, as Was demanded by the city and property owners, but have gone farther and are ready to depress our line for the whole dis- tance between Broadway and Grand avenue, and to bridge every intersect- ing street. Tunnel Impracticable, “The suggestion of a tunnel is im- practicable for many reasons, but principally because the cost would be out of all proportion to the worth of the property, and because ,a_ tunnel would make the handling of cars im- possible. St. Louis has opposed the Present tunnel for 30 years, and to add another would be a step back- ward. | “The Manufacturers’ railroad at first is designed to give facilities for man- ufacture in a section where there is plenty of cheap ground, and to at- to prevent others from going to East St. Louis. “Ultimately the road will be line to the Southwest. We shall haul trance that will not put us at a disad- vantage such as a tunnel would be. “Mr. Busch has. faith in the prospects of South and Southwest St. Louis, now practically dormant for want of proper facilities. That was what he had mind when he and those associated with him asked for this franchise. The ad- vantages to hundreds of blocks in both sections would far outweigh any detri- ment which, it is contended, the opera- tion of the road along Osceola street would cause. “We wish to impress on those who oppose us, as upon those who favor our enterprise, a fair sum for the franchise, that we have no connection or relations with the Terminal Association or any other railroad and that we intend to make the Manufacturers’ Railway a safeguard against the further monopoly of ter- minal facilities in St. Louis.’’ OAKLAWN ENTRIES.

FURTHER RECOVERY IN THE EASTERN MARKET aa,

Buying in the Coal Stocks, on Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Stocks opened un- changed to a fraction higher on Wall street today, with the volume of trading limited. Shorts were the best buyers around the open- ing. There is very lttle in the news ‘of import- ance this morning, and temporarily at least market sentiment is more cheerful. There is much in the situation, however, to cause cau- tion on the advancing side, and a traders’ market is indicated for some days to come. The professional element are looking for an- other drive against values in the latter part of the week, and are selling the active list on the rallies. Commission house business is now ery limited. The Early News, Americans were fractionally higher in Lon- dun this morning, the gains ranging from \&% to % per cent. Canadian Pacific is the strongest stock in the international list. A great deal of attention is being directed to the decision of the Supreme Court handed down yesterday at Waehington, which affects the coal roads. It wopld seem as if the de- cision would prohibit the direct sale of coal by railroads owning coal properties. Sub- stantially it means that railroads cannot sell goods at less than the cost of delivery. There is nothing in the deciesion so absolutely vital that it should seriously affect the big roads. It must be remembered that the coal prop- erties of practically all the companies are operated by compantes identified in the roads— that is, independent in law, if not in fact. The decision may be made the excuse for a Yrive at the coal stocks, but the logic of guch an attack ia not very clear. Another interesting item of news this morning is the reported decision of the gas commission to fix the price of gas in Manhattan and the Bronx at 83 cents. Sbould such a decision be handed

down and be put into effect at once, it Is believed the actual result would be higher prices for gas stocks. The Algeciras confer- lost sight of to some extent, but it is approaching a satisfactory termina- tion. It must be remembered that an agreement will mean the removal of one of the most irritating factors in the European situation and further it will release an immense amount of money that is now tied up pending such a settlement. The demand in the loal crowd still reflects an extensive short interest. The Late Trading. The market improved after the noon hour, following the report that an agreement be- tween the coal operators and miners was in a fair way of being reached. The buying in Reading and the coal properties was distinctly issues. Reports from the winter wheat section were encouraging and caused the shorts in the granger shares some uneasiness. Money market conditions received less attention, as the banks are considerable gainers from the Subtreasury on the week and it is expected that the liqui- dation of last Friday and Saturday will reflect favorably in the coming bank return. For- eign money markets show & pp 2 to re- ng large sums in the local market. Some selling, how- ever, followed a rise in rates to 8 per cent in the late market. Railroad earnings com- ing to hand are phenomenal and have been one of the main causes fm checking the decline. Traffic reports continue favorable and a slight ‘improvement is reported in certain departments 'of the steel and that we are willing to pay | iron tndustry. The market was irregular at closing, which was moderate- Ir active and in most cases higher for the diay. La. w- Local , oe Clea —.

There is nothing in the way of Mayor Wells having a new $4,000,000 bond issue bill introduced and passed at the pres- ent session of the Municipal Assembly, according to Comptroller Player. | Mr. Plaver said Tuesday that there was no doubt in his mind that a new bill could be introduced at this session. With doubt on this point removed it is ex- pected that the bill will be prepared and introduced without delay. There is a possibility that the Ziebold bill still pending in the House of Dele- gutes may be called from the Committee on Ways and Means at Tuesday even- ing’s meeting and an attempt to sg0 amend it as to bring it within the views of the Council which Friday evening killed the bond issue which had _ been pending there. eee NEGRO KILLS GIRL.
