The Missisippian who went up to Memphis and eperunitted a cold blooded murder, relying upon the 3 “unwritten law” to save him, is one of those curious _-l-r survivals of savagery which now and again startle decent society by their fantastic reappearance. The ‘get was not committed in the heat of a wronged “hushand’s fury, unexpectedly made aware of his “dishonor” by demonstration of visible fact. The circumstances show that he had time to think. And he did think. He got his victim into a defenseless position by assuming friendship, and then shot him to death. Now he chatters about the “unwritten law” much as savages did when they fell out over ‘the unpicked bones brought into the cave for the feast. All law was unwritten in those days and the force of it was in the hands of the man who ‘swung the biggest club, just as now it is in the - ands of the man who is quickest at the, trigger or has cunning enough to lay a trap for his unwary foe.

: But if juries listen to such paleozoic nonsense, e what law will there be not unwritten? If a man does ot «mot. like the cut of his neighbor’s beard he can. shoot him down and appeal to this law. If hie has any kind of a grudge against him he can kill him without fear of the consequences. The law of the b cave men will protect him. It is convenient.» Civ- ilized men ought not to be allowed to plead savage precedents to support them in savage courses.

Mr. Haldeman, manager of the business of the Mutual Life Insurance Co. in the British Islands, has resigned. He has created a business of $75,- 000,000. “The policy holders for whom Mr. Halde- is said to be acting desire to break away from the Mutual Life without surrendering their poli- cies. It is proposed to transfer the risks to an English company or to organize an English mutual company with, these policy holders as corporators. This may be the remedy for bigness when it at- tacks the companies. The big three might. be re- sened: to — by hie method of fission.

f The President’s recommendation that legislation be enacted to preserve Niagara Falls from destruc- tion will be haartily approved everywhere. “I hope that this nation will make it evident,” he says, | “that it is doing all in its power to preserve the | great scenic wonder, the existence of which, un- rmed, should be a matter of pride to every dwell- yy this country. ” It is inconceivable that a senti- wgactically unanimous as it is on this sub-

ola be overridden by the power interests. ‘ec at work at the falls. Engineering skill ‘all the power there is in the falls without 18 them.

It has been the habit asiders” in all legislation which in- i disposition of the original public wok out for all land with possibilities of auaeral values under its surface.. The success of such insidérs in monopolizing these values is one of the chief causes of the worst complications in American politics and American business life. If the Five Civilized Tribes are wound up in the usual way, this witkYe object'of the winding as a fur- ther addition to gled skein we weave, when first we practice t ceive.” The wealth now stat- 4 in the congressi@nal debates at billions, lies at

the doors of St. Louis, and’ if the public right in it js secured both to the Five Civilized Tribes and to _ the public as a whole, it will be a future means of Ae: development for St. Louis and the whole West, 8 ae a beyond what is now imaginable, even when’ the - enormous ‘values, estimated by the Government ge- a fhe _ ologists, are ‘fully considered. jWhen it. is asked why the Indians should not be maid by the Government itself at a reasonable valu- tion for their mineral lands, so that the Govers- aent, holding the title in perpetuity, can lease the rivilege of developing and working for reasonable _ @riods, no answer can be made publicly except. the : aswer the situation demands. It is not the Iy- jans alone who are being exploited, but the whol West and Southwest along the lines of a general plan which works out in the refusal of statehood to the Southwestern territories. With the sectionalism of slavery dead, with the lines drawn in it wholly ‘rrendered by Southern politicians and repudiated the people north of “Mason and Dixon’s lint,” we Gave the odious ‘sectional policies of 1850, perpetu- ated no at the instance of probably not more than & hundged men, all told.

In the debate in the Senate on the conference report “winding up the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes,” Senator La Follette of Wisconsin seems on the face of things to have blurted out what most people will accept as great truths. Instead of mere- ly blurting, however, he put on. record a serious and carefully worded protest against the exploitation of the immense and rich territory involved. He showed, though he scarcely needed to show, that behind the general scheme for | skillfully prepared plans of high finance for winding up values in coal alone, estimaited in their possibili- ties at $4,000,000,000- *% The Standard, Oil Co. put on record during the }week a full admission of what had already been proven. .The only question now left for the courts to decide in the evidence is the extent to which the whole operation of all the corporations under one management was that of a combination formed for an unlawful purpose. The demonstration is com- plete that the corporation laws are now systemat- ically abused so that one corporation may organize others to serve as its tools in actual violation ‘of the law on which its own right ,to existence depends. *

The President, who, when he is good, is very, very good, “broke loose” again in his letter through the State Department to- the Foreign Office at Vi- enna, announcing that as President of the United States he had “terminated the authority of his Ambassador, Mr. Storer, to represent him.” In view of the sufficient difficulty American “ambassadorg often have in representing the United States, it is Jooked on as past the possibilities of most of them to represent the Roosevelt idea also. They are mani- festly without means of knowing from one day to another how the President’s study of Celtic litera- ture in connection with coal] strikes and news from the Philippines may change his working theory of what. his personal ambassadors ought to do: in rep- resenting him. j 2 *»

‘The Moors of Morocco are reported to be “showing a spirit of obstruction” as they learn more of what the Algecirag conference is doing: to decide their future. This is probably due to what the conference will finally reject as their absurd idea that their views of their future are entitled to consideration. Morocco has among its native statesmen men who can prove their right to wear a green turban by a line of descent from,Mohammed himself, which, every expert in every European herald’s office would ad- mit to be unbroken. But the wearers of the green turban do not ‘know how to finance a country with a modern national debt, and they carry: on their sys- tematic plundering of the people through methods that are far too crude to be tolerated. Morocco is to be “opened to civilization,’ with their consent or without it.

The American wife and mother who signs petitions and protegts for Washington uses, made it uncom- fortable for Senator Smoot during the week, with more evidence put on record that Mormon college presidents and others who represent the Brigham Young idea still hold the “plural marriage” sacred as a part of it. Nevertheless, the plural marriage is as dead as the other part of the “twin relic of bar- barism.” :

Young John D. Rockefeller announced during the week. that the man who continually worships wealth is worshiping a false god and is an idolater. Young Joseph Medill Patterson, in Chicago, called together his comrades to begin establishing the brotherhood of man. Half a dozen or more young millionaires with more or less famous names seem seized with a sudden determination to go as far as “possible to- wards the end of the rainbow opposite the one from which their pot of gold was secured for them, without the expense of journey, sweat or ston bruises on their part. This has often happened in {the past And in the past such young “idealists” have usually ended by spending a quiet old age in coupon clipping. 7 eos ; THE PROFESSIONAL FOOL REVIVED. The fool of the Middle Ages must be dear to all who read Shakspeare and love the best things of literature. Shakspeare is:not the only writer of the Golden Age who had the habit of putting his best things often in the mouths of his fools. The literary advantages ‘of having a class of fools of this kind is so great that many have mourned the loss of the fool, thinking it hopeless and never imag- ining that such lan institution as the professional fool of the "Middle Ages could be revived, either in modern life. or modern literature. It seems they were niistaken. We have had a genuine professional fool of Shakspearean possibili- ties disclosed as one part of the “double life” of John Wiliver Martine, the young New York haberdasher’s clerk, lately arrested on a charge of embezzling from his employer. A haberdasher’s clerk until closing time, he put on the dress suit of the professional fool after 6

6 o'clock and seems to have made an ex- ceedingly good thing ‘of it while it lasted. , At dull dinner parties among the great, who can- not start a lively conversation or a laugh or turn a. jest for thtmselyes, he was hired to attend, ostensi- bly as one of the guests, but-secretly as a profession- al fool to supply wit, humor and other symptoms of intellect, to redeem social enjoyment from what otherwise would have been its deadly dullness. As before going into haberdashery he had traveled with a circus and cultivated liveliness of mind in other’ he was sought for in high society to what. high so- ciety now sees was an alarming extent. It seems alarming now ‘because the professional fool did not fail to recommend himself by his su- perior intellect .to the daughters of high society. They seemed to have recognized in him sémething different from anything they had seen in their cir- cle before the -professional fool was employed “by

“winding up” the tribes are ‘ivene. to ways, he succeeded so well as a professional fool that ent kasloas ‘and the sheseadigiaak’ fool of # is that the modern fool “works by the job.” He is} cheaper that way, at least in money cost, than the fool of Shakspeare, who “held his job” for life and had to be found in board, clothes and pocket money, whether he. could start his mind ¢o work to enliven a dinner party on'demand or not. If the demand for professional fools to supply wit and enjoyable conversation at the social func- tions of the Four Hundred continues to grow after the unfortunate crisis through which this ornament to the profession is now passing, the new method of paying, by the job only, may necessitate a “Fools’ Union,” with a union scale of wages, Then perhaps we will have the question of the open shop for pro- fessional fools. The really talented professional who “rats the union” -may so commend himself eco- nomically and professionally to. his employers. that they may finally send him to the United States Sen- ate to enliven the Congressional Record. It is cer- tainly dull enough to need enlivenment of some kind, now that Dr. Chauncey ™M. Depew has grown |so regrettably serious. ll i a — = a

District Attorney Jerome has lost a great op- portunity. .In fact, he has lost several. What did he do to justify the great hopes of his believing friends?) Must we conclude that Mr. Jerome was @ “false alarm?” >.> i i A MONOPOLY POSSIBILITY. Following the report that Gov. Folk-would resort to the extreme measure of having coal mined under State control if the strike should deprive the State institutions of coal supplies, causes the intimation from Washington that President Roosevelt will not permit the industries of the country to be paralyzed, but in the event of the exhaustion of coal supplies, the Government will take control of the thines for the purpose of having the coal mined. This would at once bring up the question as to whose right to the eoal resources of the country is paramount—the mine owners or the people’s. The Government—has the right to utilize private prop- erty for Government’s needs, but how far can there be under the laws an invasion of property rights to supply the needs of the. general public? The fact that we may be confronted with this possi- bility, as a last desperate resort to ‘prevent wide- spread disaster and suffering, shows how crude our civilization is at some points. The perfect monopoly is a monopoly of national resourees. A monopoly of transportation is a good working scheme for the exploitation of the public, but when the two are combined, as in the Coal Trust, the public is at the mercy of the monopolists. f When the Coal Trust cannot agree with its em- ployes, or when for its own purposes it chooses to eut off or reduce. the supply of coal, or to put up prices, the public suffers. If the Government can intervene to prevent starvation, can it not inter- prevent injustice and hardships. The paralyzing of the industries of a great people by monopolists who have obtained possession of natural resources and thus control the neces- saries of industry and life is unthinkable. But even a less degree of hardships imposed by a monopoly of the necessaries of life is only in Jess degree unbear- able. Yet we have permitted monopolists to obtain possession of the natural and necessary resources without devising any method of regulating that control in the interest of the people or at least without applying what remedies we may have in our laws for monopoly evils. So we are apparently redjiced to the last desperate resort of taking’ con- trol and, at least, temporary. possession of private property and running it in the interest of the people. It is high time to apply what laws we have ‘to prevent monopoly, or we shall find ourselves ¢on- fronted with the necessity of revolutionizing our whole system of property ownership, industry and transportation. The first step on the road to reyo- lution is the long step. —_—____—___-+44

Is it preaching sectionalism to say that there is presidential timber south of Mason and Dixon’s line? | a. & i» - oe PLEASURE AND SIN. Psychologists should be interested in determining in how far Brooklyn’s prohibition against “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” doubted tendency which children of a larger growth have of forbidding children of a smaller growth to do the things in which they find pleasure; like the mother who called to the nurse, “Marjorie, find out ‘what Tommy is doing and tell him to stop it this instant.” Macaulay, or said that the Puritans frowned on bear baiting, not because it gave pain tg the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators. , Leaving Mark Twain to defend ‘his own boy heroes, if they need défense, this salutary reflection, denied by ancient, and forgotten by modern ascetics, still tends to increase the\sum of human happiness: Because a thing is pleasant is not, in itself, proof that it is wrong.

- THE WORLD'S WATER POWER. Greater industrial efficiency is being sought in all directions, but particularly by the distribution of en- ergy supplied by rivers and streams. This is being pecially felt in the region extending from the Med- iterranean to the Alps. The degree to which this energy may be multiplied is infinite, but with. pres-4 ent knowledge it is assumed that 2,000,000 horsepower may be economically obtained, of which perhaps the fifth has been secured or is in protess of being se- cured. The hydraulic forces of the world. a year ago stood, expressed,in a horsepower, as follows: United Sttaes, 527,500; Canada, 228,500; Italy, 210,000; France, 161,000; Switzerland, 133,000; Germany,, 81,000; Sweden, 71,000; other countries, 69,000; total, 1,481,000. This amount of power is approximately equal in potential energy to 2 per cent of the world’s coal production. The gréatest completed French works are to be found in the Alps, where sparse population, narrowness of range of raw materials and remote- ness from large markets deter large industrial opera- tions. At present works is in progress on eight dif- ferent #ants, which will revolutionize manufacturing | conditions in the whole Mediterranean region and in Durance Valley, where general conditions are favora- ble to manufacturing enterprises.

BIGGEST MILK-STERILIZING PLANT. Work is being rushed in New York on the erection -of the largest plant for the pasteurization of milk in the world. The building will be erected in West Fifty-seventh street, between Tenth and Eleventh av- enues, and it is figured that one-eighth of the daily one establishment every 24 hours. The plant will have a capacity of 200,000 quarts of pasteurized milk in 24 hours. This radical step toward an improve- ment in the city’s milk supply is the direct result of demonstrations by the Nathan Straus charity of the perils lurking in raw milk in small shops in the tene- ment dtsircts. The. chief importance of this enter- prise liés in the fact that it will place pasteurized milk on sale in-all parts of the city from wagons and from 24 shops, in addition to the 17 stations main- tained by Nathan Straus. It is claimed that the plant will be the most perfect from every sanitary and scientific point of view ever attempted.

All air entering the building is drawn through this filter by means of @ fan and delivered under pressure into the various Fooms. It is stated that during the last summer the fan was operated continuously with the wihdows closed, the air was thoroughly cleansed, its tempefature lowered, the health of the office force improved and the daily out- put increased.

PROPELLING BOAT BY EXPLOSIONS. The latest of those who are ambitious to cut down the speed record on the water is Herbert E. Rider of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is buflding a craft which he designs shall be driven through the water by a series of explosions acting directhy on the water itself rather than through the intervention of an engine as is the present practice. - The boat designed by Mr. Rider has a tube extend- ing from the bow to the'’stern and open at each end. Attached to this are several chambers, in which the explosions of gasoline take place at regular intervals and acting on the water contained in the tube, the effect being to drive the water out of the rear of the tube and to drive it in at the bow. In the gas engine the force of the explosion is spent upon a piston, which in turn drives the propeller. Mr. Rider claims that much power, which is lost in this indirect application of the explosion, is saved in his scheme, with the result that the same amount of fuel’ will drive a boat faster or move a heavier craft. ‘Ie claims that the theory of his idea has been thoroughly demonstrated in a model craft and he is at work on a large pleasure boat, which will be in the water in a few months,

IRON AGE DAWNING IN AUSTRALIA. The iron age in Australia which promises soon to dawn will mean the mining of over 59,000,000 tons of ore in New South Wales and of about 20,000,000 tons in South Australia. There is. also a magnetite de- posit of about 1,000,000 tons of 50-60 per cent ore in the Queensland district.. Then there is the Blythe River posit in Tasmania, estimated to contain 17,- 000,000 fbns of ore. Other large deposits occur In the Picton, Mittagong and other districts. The West Australian deposits are rich, but practically valueless for lack of a good coal field in the vicinity. In 1903, Australia’s production of iron ore was 22,000 ‘tons from New South Wales, 900 tons from Tasmania, 10,000 tons from Queensland, 33,000 tons from South Australia, and a trifle from West Australia, the pro- duction of Victoria, like that of the outside colony, being nil. The total output was only 77,107 tons. New South Wales Government has determined:to es- tablish an fron and steel industry within the boun- The

ULYSSES By Willis Leonard Clanahan. ’

sll

Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. I. Of all the heroes ‘who have won great blisses After great pain and tribulations sore, After long wanderings in the wildernesses And buffetings upon a foreign shore, Commend me to that brave old chap, Ulysses! You must admire his courage more and more, If you will read of how this wight heroic Fought like a Turk and suffered like a Stoic. p48 He fought the Cyclops in a cool,. defiant And fearless manner, and he won'the day’ Against that mighty old man-eating giant, Burnt out his eye and went upon his way: Triumphant—bold and calm and self-reliant, And jeered at his tormentor as he lay In pain and anger writhing, like a thing dumb, As back he started to his island kingdom. III. And‘then he fell into the hands of Circe, The wicked sorceress, who trapped his men, Turned them to swine and on them had no mercy, Till, mightily, he forced her, there and then, To presto, right-about and vice versa, And turn them back to human shape again, Spurning her power, whose evil could not swerve him, Till she was glad to honor and to serve him. IV. - * He passed the Sirens on his homeward journey, Shunning their music to the very last, And, sharp as any keen old shrewd attorney, He lashed his eager sailors to the mast, Lest with such strains their melting hearts should burn; he Scoffed at the monster, Scylla, as he passed, And braved the sea that wrecked his galiant ship so, And landed on the island of Calypso. : V. ‘Nine days he hung upon a spar and drifted— I’m giving you old Homer's tale in brief—_ For Neptune’s hand against him was uplifted, For bringing his Cyclopean son to grief; But once again the tide of fortune shifted, And Leucothea came to his relief, And from the shore old King Alcinous’ daughter | Waved welcome to him as he split the water. | * VI. | Ten years he fought and conquered countless dan- gers Before he reached his old-time home from Troy. He found his wife besieged by envious strangers, And she received him with unbounded joy— True love she bore, and time could never change hers— And with Telemachus, his faithful boy, He slew his rivals and resumed his scepter And ruled in peace. There was no king adepter. VII. And so I say, of all who have won blisses After great pain and tribulations sore, After long wanderings in the wildernesses And buffetings upon a foreign shore, Commend me to that brave old chap, Ulysses! Each time I study. him, I honor more. He shunned. no danger, feared not any hoodoo. \- What he has done, can't we or I or you do?

‘Hived. The country life of the United States is gone ‘Wilhelm ts of the medium height, put the German THE AMERICAN ARISTOCRACY. From the London Outlook. Let us briefly trace the origin of! this American aristocracy, the most charming the world has ever seen and the. most merciless. Like! the masculine ate of Rome, it rests on a basis of servitude, Slaves in the tiled maize field, in the tenth-floor office; slaves in the\Chicago wheat pit or in the wildest pur- lieu of Wall street—all day they toil mercilessly that their women folk may be rare and beautiful and girdled with power. The bachelor of leisure takes from dances or golf or surf bathing. As to the origin of the best people we can say little more than this—that it is an urban product, The territorial aristocracies of the United States, in which the men played a free part, have vanished or are vanishing. The country gentry of the South- ern States are no more, The Civil War killed -the branches of that tree of almost English life, the carpet-baggers cut' down the trunk, the industrialism of the ‘‘New Sdéuth” destroyed its deep-set root. Southern women of high lineage still honor and obey their husbamds, and for that reason cannot climb to social pre-eminence in the great cities of the At- lantic seaboard, which, indéed, they avoid willingly enough. There a good Southern name has its value —as arpeg for colonial memories in the new artisto- crat’s reasoned catalogue of ancestors. There are still country homes in New England, but nine in ten are in the possession of the urban aris- tocracy, who do not live there as the origifial owners or going in all its phases--more’s the pity! It is true that the best people of the great cities live the simple life (at a great cost) in country places for a portion of the year. One meets them in the Adi- rondacks, in California, in the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence, where they have built weird paro- dies of Fifth avenue palaces. But all this is the mer- est pretense of country living. They are an urban aristocracy. Nevertheless they will not attain a com- plete urbanity—for all that we have praised their beauty, authority and distinction—until the married man catches up with the bachelor and the twain insist on being treated as the equals of the women folk they worship not wisely but too well. Till then these fair aristocrats are merciless and remorseless— -T proxy. ALL THE KINGS A LITTLE SHORT. There hardly is a, King in Christendom today whose wife does not overtop him by .a head.

Music, heavenly N: maid, doth sweet appear, and takes the place of Drama on our stage, cs the souls of us with harmony to engage... *Tis Opera ‘that’ brings -her into view, with call of elflarid horn and eke bazoo,;and_ bids ‘her ‘lift her voice in tuneful strain, while to the footlights throng her welcome tfain.

All, all these figures now are near at hand, singers Ismopolite, from every land: German, Italian, English, | French, ‘and all, t bend rejoicing heads to Music’s thrall. And we shall into Sch saad melo- us sink, that range from Wagner down to Humperdinck. In other words, Col. Savage’ s big English Grand Opera Company begins ts week's engagement at the Olympic tonight, and is tobe followed the veek after by Col. Conried’s distinguished Metropolitan Opera Company na three evéning and one matinee engagement. It seems to me that. such a prospect justifies one in becoming a poet ro tem and singing just a stanza or two of rhymed welcome to the Savage nd Conried forces. For opera, after all, is close kin to poesy, only strong- r on its legs and more capable of making money for itself, and if one en- oys. opéra it’s sheerly because the ‘spark poetic hasn’t quite died out in me's bosom. Wherefore it comes about that Pegasus, poor beast, gains -his chance fot a little canter in the open, and ‘twould be a shame to miss he ‘opportunity, seeing that the occasion warrants. “It is the cause, it is he. cause, my soul!” as Shakspeare makes Othello say when he tiptoes ‘ver to the bed to smother poor Desdemona in her own swan’s-down pil- ws.

Opera Temptations In Gray-Robed Lent. I must confess I’m considerably wrought up over the local opera season. ‘That's because there are some especial offerings of the next 10 days to Which my soul inclines with peculiar eagerness. I want particularly to see and hear “The Valkyrie” of the Savage repertory. I want even more wist- fully to hear the great Italian tenor, Caruso, sing with Sembrich in, “Mar- tha,” and with Eames in “Faust” during the Metropolitan company’s visit. These are distinctly my heart’s desire—but, just on a broad, general basis, I’m opera hungry and good and ready for the entire spread. A plentiful number of courses there are, tod, beginning with “Tannhauser” as a tickler onight, and including “Rigoletto” and “La Boheme” and ‘“‘Lohengrin” and ansel and Gretel” and “I Pagliacci,” and bringing out some of the world’s “greatest and sweetest voices for our delectation. I don’t see how anyone ‘can face ‘thé prospect with aught but a thankful spirit and a jocund coun- tenance... ie _ Besides, the whole thing is a. curiously timed. ill aie and I’m all ' agog to sce how it. pans out in the line of social brilliancy. ‘For we ust perforce remember that gray-robed and penitential Lent on supposed to enwrap us in its sackcloth and make ashes e’en as the most mellifluous of these: operatic strains sweeten the atmosphere, and that the local opera season sets foot well into Holy york itself. There’s a stcuation A tor -you! “The winter garment of repentance,’ as old Gmar calis it~-shall ‘we indeed fling it into’ the fires of spring under the temptii¢ of the singers, making, to the best of our ability, a “diamond horseshoe” ot the Olympic’s majestic sweep, in imitation of New York’s ante-Lenten bravery of attire? a 'Phat’s the question, after all, which our high soc iety*is now called upon to answer—and_ it’s this answer that: I’m curious to hear. . However, so far, ags.I can see, the question is only as to whether or not _ the opera audiences shall be sartorially brilliant. . > As far.as attendance at the opera is concerned, the sehbten:; is. already gettled.

They'll all do fairly well, no doubt, but the mpere season the: right of way. Mee Sothern and Miss Marlowe were reasonably prosperous at the Olym- p this past week. But I do not by any means class their interpretation of “The Taming. of the. Shrew’: as the best $f their offerings this season. ‘To 3 ‘thinking, by far the most delightful bill was “Twelfth Night,” with Mr. ‘s revelation of hitherto “unsuspected powers in his portrayal of plio and Miss Marlowe at her best as Viola. Next to “Twelfth Night” ‘their “Romeo and Juliet,” and then it’s a toss- up between “The Mer- iat or Venice” and “The’ Taming of the Shrew” for third ‘place. But. 4 st. say, writing in all frankness, that. I.shall rejoice when these two: ‘ex cel ent and faithful lovers of Shakspeare determine not to confine them- ‘exclusively to the bard's plays and .come .out, singly or together, in productions in closer touch with the modern spirit. There's nobility, rse, in, their willingness. to sacrifice themselves for Shakspeare’s sake, there’ really no necessity’for it. Shakspeare will live, anyway—and we Hike to dose*ait tire possibilities of Sothern and Marlowe in varying @ younger dramas for no good reason. : Se & Senuine farce was in town also last week in Mr. Leo Ditrichstein’s er “Before and After,”’ which greatly pleased Garrick audiences, It's a ht piece of work, admirably played by a star company, and désbrves to “or ‘record as’ really’ one of the most meritorious and satisfying of the asor 's. local offerings.

FHOT KNOB BATTLEFIELD

Missouri Historical Society Thinks It Is High Time Uncle Sam Should Recognize the Importance of This Fight in the Preservation of the Union, t : ARCADIA, Mo., March 31. EOPLE of the Arcadia Valley are P beginning to manifest a deep in- Bey terest in tlie proposition to make & national military park of the. Pilot Knob batt'efield, though the initiative was taken by St. Louisans. According to recent reports from Washington there is excellent prospect that the bill recently introduced for the appropria- -‘thon of $7500 to purchase the battle- grougd and tr: ipstdarm it into a memorial] park wiil pass\ the present session of Congress. In. the event of the passage of the hill, Missouri will have the only ’ battlefield park west of the Mississippi ‘River, and the fact that the park will “be only 86 miles south of St. Louis is of general interest to Sttnenia of the metropolis. 7 ‘To Dr. Cyrus A. Peterson of St. Louls, president of the Missouri Historical So- ciety, is due the credit for the present | em: souraging status of the park problem. . Dr. Peterson, who lived during his boy- hocd and youth at Fredericktown, (18 _ miles: f-om Pilot Knob, has evinced a ’@eoper interest in the old fort and bat- | tiéfield than any other man, though he Was too voung at the time of the battle to be a soldier.

the most interesting portion of the bat- tlefield, the level ground surrounding old Fort Davidson, where the flercest fighting took place, was to be parti- tioned into four-acre lots and sold to Hungarian market farmers by a coloni- zation society. Dr. Peterson, impressed with the om portance of preserving the site with. view to its future improvement and —- toration as a military park, immediately came down to the Arcadia Valley and took steps toward getting the property. After much effort he succeeded in buying the 20 atres com- prised ,in the beautiful meadow sur- rounding the old fort, and this property is now’ held in his name. Dr. Peterson also caused the appropriation bill to be introduced in Congress. Time for National Action. In the opinion of students of Missouri +, it is high time that the Wnited be called upon to recognize the nee of the Cival War operations State. During the first year of ir the number of battles and im- , skirmishes fought on Missouri ceeded the number of those in all the other states combined. oximately 200 battles, including o-hand skirmishes, resulting in bloodshed, were fought in Mis- uring the four years’ war. neral histories these pen OV ershadowed by the engage- to the South and the , hast there is a widespread con-

at least two of the batles tn Missouri in the ultimate summing- he war. > were the battles of Creek | and Pilot Knob, the one fought early in the war and the ather toward its close. The engagement Creek, in Southwest Missouri, Aug. 19, 1861, in -which Gen. Nathaniel fell, was a divided victory, as was the battle | of Pilot Knob, Sept. 27, 1864. In a sense,, both were Union triumphs, for holds of the State, St. Louis and ferson City: In both instance federates vastly outnumbere forces, and, aS a consequence, ter retreated after the battles. Never- theless, the blows struck at Wilson Creek and Pilot Knob By isolated com- mands, in what may ‘be termed the heart of the enemy’s country, so stag- gered the oncoming armies of secession that the purposes of these raids Missoniri ultimately failed. A Brillant Engagement. The battle of Pilot Knob and the tréat of the little Tinion command sup- ply une of the most remarkable epi- sodes of the Civil War. History passes the Union re- cagement, on the side of the arms, took placed during the war, sidering the difficulties to be encoun- tered, the vast disproportion of the op- posing forces and the results achieved. Here, a small force of Union soldiers and citizens—not an army, merely a col- lected; garrison of tletached companies and |] bal residents volunteering for the emergéncy—withstood the fierce on- Sslaught of Gen. Sterling Price's army of Beasoned veterans, administering a disastrous repulse. Even the command- er of the Union force arrived at Fort Davidson only the day before the battle. Gen, Thomas Ewing: came down from St. Louis and took command of the little garrison after Price's big army already had ‘entered Arcadia Valley and driven in the outposts from the sur- rounding mountains. Ewing's force, concentrated in the earthaork of Wort Da n, numbered a little more than 1000 ‘men, made up of parts of seven regiments, comprising portions of —21 companies and a few citizens, who took up arms for the day. Prite’s army comprised three. divis- imade up of nine brigades, includ- B complete regiments; 10 battalions d four batteries, aggregating between and 30,000 men. The Union ‘losses were, 14 men killed, 13 mortally wound- 46 ‘surviving wounded. Price ‘men killed, 175 or more mortally more surviving wounded. And after the battle Ewing evacuated the fort, blew up his pow- der niagazine and marched out through the nkfrow defile between Pilot Knob and Shepherd Mountain, over the wild and tugged ridges of the Ozarks, to Leasburg on the Frisco Railroad, pur- io aly by the invaders, but losing

To the southwest is Tom Sauk Moun- tain, the highest of the seven or eight summits that rise aboue Arcadia’ Val- ley. Tom Sauk stands nearly 800 feet above the valley, in which are situated the three pretty towns of Arcadia, Iron- ton and Pilot Knob. Two miles south of Arcadia, out along the Frederick- town road, is the remarkable canyon or gorge through which Price’s army marched into the valley from _ the south. : This is khown locally as the ‘“Shut- ’ being a wild and picturesque moun- pass, through which runs and Stout’s Creek, the clear waters the porphyry and gran- the chasm, dashing in down a series of musical song risin on In,’ tain roars : rocksy of spray of the brook to the bluffs either side. Standing within this gorge, one must admire the physical prowess of Price’s men, who dragged their big guns and wagon-trains through this practically roadless pass into the beau- tiful valley and-across upon the moun- tain sides, where they planted their ar- tillery and began the attack on Fort Another pomt ar Fort Hill, Arcadia, now crowned by the Methodist Church, South. On this point was a rude fort in wartime, from which an outpost of Ewing’s forces was driven into Fort Davidson. .

Here also was a tempo- rary prison for the captured Union men, taken during. the several skir- mishes with. outposts and pickets, pre- ceding the battle. historic interest is Well-Preserved Earthworks. Fort Davidson, visible line of the Iron Mountain Railroad, is conceded to be one of the _ best-pre- served ruins of earthworks left to pos- terity by the Civil War. Its area is from the main

ees aie trenc pits,. which . played such a. prom in the engagement, were obliter- ated long ago. After the war the field surrounding the fort was’ cultivated for | many years, and at present it is @ beau- tiful meadow. Somewhere in this meadow are buried the corpses’ of nearly 400 Confederates and a few Union men. The invading army, after the retreat of Ewing. hur- riedly interred the dead, acing the bodies .in long trenches. ‘For some in- explicable reason the location of these trenches was not marked, and as time passed: the alterations caused by. culti- cation of the ground obliterated all signs ef the graves. For 2 years the plow has turned the ‘soil above the graves of these soldier dead. A plan is now on foot to “prospect’”’ for these Confederate burial trenches. Throughout this Ozark country for gen- erations men have been prospecting for iron, lead, silver, cobalt and other min- erals, with eminent success, as the in- dustrial world well knows. Now, with- in ja short time, the meadow surrounding the fort will be prospected, and it is be- lieved that the burial ditches will be lo- cated. Success in this regard, of course, will add to the interest of the site as a national park. So many ‘regiments were represented, on both sides, that the mat- ter of memorial moruments takes on an important aspect.

Grant Commissioned Here. There is still another excellent reason why Congress should create a national park at Pilot Knob. .Within a mile of the fort is Emerson Park, the home place of the late Judge Emerson, locat- ed just between Ironton and Arcadia. In this tract stands a fine old oak tree, under which Col. Ulysses S. Grant, in 1861, received his commission as a briga- dier-general. Beneath the oak is one of the splendid springs of cold, pure water, for which the Arcadia Valley is noted. From this spring Grant procured. his drinking water while stationed here, and it was directly from this spot that he marched away to Belmont, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Appomattox and _ universal faine. Judge Emerson, a Canadian by birth, but a staunch friend of the Union, erect- ed above this spring the figure of an angel, and wrote the following words, which are engraved upon the pedestal stone: “Hither an embryo hero came: fie drank, departed, conquered,”’ A statue of (nion soldier also em- bellishes the Emerson place, and sev- eral war- hres cannon are planted upon the greensward. Judge Emerson, who was a cousin. of Ralph Waldo Emerson, took great pride ‘in the creation of this beautiful and historic homestead, which is to be sold at partition sale for his collateral heirs in the Circuit Court at Ironton about April 24. The general opinion is that Emerson Rark should be- cometa part of the Pilot Knob Battle- field Park.

That would be altered, added Mr. Ber- nard Shaw, and the time would come when the churches would be revivified ang come into competition with the the- ater, but not before it was realized that the church was one of the theaters of the people.

pitchers that ever stepped into the box, when he played :with: the Louisville team, died last week ‘in Indianapolis. For the past 15 years little had; been j heard of Ramsey. He left the Louisville club in 1890. Fora time he played W i St. Louis, but»once on the decline, + shot down as swiftly.as he had risen. in a little while no club. would have his services, and he retired to private life. J Whisky was the cause of Ramsey : downfall. While with Louisville he yd guged in a continuous, bout with Jo _ Barleycorn. When Ramsey. was boned nounced to pitch, the fans CHuld nev tell whether he would show.up in ang dition to seé his way to the box or not. If he managed to. get in the box and get a reasonable idea of the location ae the plate, it didn’t matter whether - was cold sober or highly drunk, he cou pitch winning ball. Jim Hart:Found Him, Ramsey was a native of Indian- apolis, where he was born 41..years ago. He first attracted attention when he was pitching in the C hatta- nooga team of the Southern League. To Jim. Hart, the retired president of the Louisville team in 1885, belongs the credit of bringing Ramsey into the ranks of the majors. He had heard about Ramsey's wonderful work, and slipping down to Chatta- nhooga, signed him for Louisville. W. Reccius was treasurer of the club then. Ramsey's release cost $900, and the team had to borrow the money from a bank. Ramsey’s. first appearance on. the Louisville grounds .was memorable. ‘Hle had celebrated his coming to Ken- tucky and was so drunk he couldn't et in position. After a few inef- ectual attempts to get the ball over the plate the new pitcher was led to the bench, A few days later he pitched against the Nashville team in an exhibition | game. He was sober then and struck eut 18 men. The Louisville fans re- alized that. he wus a wonder. Ramsey didn’t do much that year, as the season was almost'.over. But next spring he was in good shape. In a short time he was the terror to as- sociation batters and was striking out 18 men frequently. Ramsey was a left-handed pitcher. He. did not possess any great speed nor much of an assortment of curves, In fact, his stock in trade consisted of one ball—his famous drop. There has never been another curve like this in baseball. Rusie, Matthew- son, Nicolls, Cy Young and the famous twirlers of modern days have never had such complete and mystic con- trol of the batters as Ramsey exer- eised with his drop. The mightest arm and the keenest eye couldn't pre- vail against it!. Ramsey would toss it up to the plate with little apparent effort. The ball would travel slowly until just as it reached the plate and the batter swung, when it would drop, and in about 19 cases out of 20 a strike would be called. When He Downed the Reds. In those days the baseball rivalry be- tween Louisville and Cincinnati, both in the American Association, was intense. Nothing, brought greater glee to the Louisville fans than to beat Cincinnatt. With Ramsey in the box,-they frequent- ly had the satisfaction of administering crushing and humillating defeat. to: the Reds. On one occasion the first niné men who came to the:bat for Cincinnati struck out. Another time he fafined 18 of them, and he frequently pitched games against Cincinnati with records of 12 to 15 strike-outs. For two years Ramsey was invinctble. He could not overccme his appetite for whisky, however, and was’ always a hard drinker. It was not hard drink that put Ram- sev out' of business as a pitcher, how- ever. A change in the pitching distance took the magic out of his drop. At 50 feet Ramsey was a wizard. His drop ball would break at exactly the right place. When the distance was in- creased ‘to 55 feet, the ball would break too soon. in 1888 Ramsey was sold to St. Louis. He pitched there awhile, but his cun- ning had gene, and he was ineffectual. In a short time he was released. He lay idle for years. Then McCloskey gave him atrial pwith the Savannah team. That was his last effort. He failed to make good, and since then had ‘lived in Indianapolis. Ramsey played on the team with Pete Browning and Jimmy Weolf, who waiie died within the past vear. —

CROSS COUNTRY AUN FOR ST. LOUIS eo vy.

National Championship to Be Decided on Forest | Park Course. An athletic competition that has at- tained much: prominence is scheduled for St. Louis in April. This event is the annual cress-country champion- ships of the Amateur. Athletic’ Union, April 24, to be held at Forest Park un- der the auspices of the. Missour{ Atn- letic Club. Charles W. Bassett of the Missouri Athletic ‘Club, ‘who ‘developed Joe Forshaw, who will-wear the stars and stripes in the Greek. Marathon, Says cross-country running is one of the most pleasurable forms of exercise. The course this year will probably be the same as the one that has been used by the long distance runners of the Missouri. Athletic’ Club in. their runs Sunday mornings during the winter and which Joe Fdrshaw won the cross- country event over last year. One lap is run on the Triple A’ track, then the runners jaunt through Forest Park over a six and one-half ‘miles course, fin- ishing up the last lap on the Triple A track. Prizes will be given for ‘the individual and team champlonships and the com- petition will bring out the best long ‘distance men in the city, and it is hoped some of the good ‘men of the country. For the individual championship young O’Connell, the. sensational young ‘miler of the Missouri Athletic Club, 1s one of the most prominent candidates. The former Central boy, although only 18 vears of age, displays fine speed. athle‘e, is another good distance man who must be given a chance, Charlie Stevens, the 125-pound boxer, who has lately given up his ring aspirations, has been giving his idle moments to the cross-country event, and is given an aw- ful good chance by thosé who have seen him work out. He has. considerable speed for his short stride. Minges is one of the crack runners of the city. Last year ‘he finished second to For- shaw in the annual cross-country run of the M. A. C., and this year there are many who believe that he 1s the man who will show the way home for all contenders in the national champion- ship. O’Grady his been ‘‘prepped’’ espe- cially for the event by Mr. Bassett, who has great faith in this young man with the aggressive face seo the plodding, digging ty of running Schott, Zeitlein, Brown, Christy, Ru- dolph, Gleeson and Hemmeter, who fin- ished so well in the Marathon last year, are also working out every Sunday morning in preparation for the cham- pionships and all of the boys appear to be in fine fettle for the event. Tobin and Keefe of the St. Louis Uni- versity will also probably participate in the event, as will Millhouse, the crack miler of Central Y. M. C, A. Johnstone of Washington University is sure to be one of the entries, and C. B.C. will probably have McCarthy, Ryan and Dal- ton in the event. Inducements are be- ing made to Joe Reuter to have him en- ter the race and represent the Hiber- nians and if he competes he should be well up at the finish. The Greek colony, whose representa- tives are busily training for the M. A. C: Marathon, will doubtless not let the championships get by without entering several men. Karhoulas, Valones and Petros are the best of the Greeks. PROPER SPIRIT,” NOT LAWS, NEEDED Reid, Harvard’s Football Coach, Says New Rules Alone Will Not Save Football. Svecial to the Post-Dispatch.

Last Year, Special to the. Post-Dispateh, COLUMBIA, Mo., March 31.—Pros- pects for a successful ‘baseball season at the University of Missouri appear very bright at the present time. Most of the men on the baseball squad, how- ever, are new, and until they have been given a tryout it. will not be known how they will compare with the 19% team, which defeated all the leading college teams of the Southwest. The loss of men: like Bonfoey, Northcutt, Hamilton, Green, Catron and Edy makes vacancies that will be difficult to fill. Capt. Bigger, one of the best ama- teur first basemen in the college world, is in charge again, and with two of last year's veterans, Newman and Wright, and a very promising set of youngsters to back him up, it is expected that: the team will again win the Missouri Val- ley championship. > Missouri has been very fortunate in having as its coach A. M.,Ebright, a member of severak league teams, and for the last two years second baseman for the Springfield team of the Three-] League. He has been greatly hampered in his work, however, by: weather that has made practice most impossible. The use of , gymnasium was not.to be had/ until this week, and about all that h ‘en done hus been to give the boys a little practice in batt!nc, in which they appear to be weakest.. It is probable that the 1906 lineup will not be announced until just prior to the game. Bigger will undoubtedly — hold down the first sack, while Wright will

IT think with a bet- ter understanding between the colleges, all disputes may be done away with. ‘People are very much mistaken if they think the new rules have saved the game. On the contrary, the game will be more on trial next year than ever before. for the faculties of the various colleges will be more critical and expect to see the game played as they wish to have it. “The changes in the rules will produce a better game, but the rules will not’ be able to do it. The spirit of the game must be improved, and this same spirit will do more to save the game than anything else, “It was possible even with the close formation to play a clean, gentlemanly gathe, as was shown jin the Harvard- Dartmouth game. The game was hard fought and close, both teams wanted to win. but they tried to win in a fair and sportsmanlike manner. “The chief thing to be done is to over- haul the moral code; the point of view of the-nlayer must be changed; he should regard his opponent as his friend and not think of taking any more ad- vantage of him than he would in some simpler indoor sport. Rules, however, must be obeyed to the letter. In brief, square.” LOBERT’S ARCHITECTURAL ASPIRATIONS, “If I can't be a high- -class ball player, I'll be a good architect,” said Hans La- bert. who is fighting it out with Mike man of the Cincinnati team. “I am a carpenter by trade, and have decided that it is even wiser to be an architect, with no union- laws to hamper you. For that reason I have taken up the study of architecture and mechanical engineer- |} ing, so that if I am sent to the woods as a ball player within the next few years I can still eat my three meals a day on the strength of my knowledge of triangles, quadrants and things of that kind. During the past bag I designed and built a house in my home town of Belzhoover, near Pittsburg. At last accounts it still was standing, hav-

ete Mie Bin Brilliant Season in Prospect for Bankers, Brokers, Bakers and Candlestick Makers—Lack of Grounds the Only Difficulty hae Amateur baseball flourished exceed- fnglv about S*. Louis last year. The season of 1906 will far exceed that of 1905.- More amateur leagues are now in the field and the number of inde- pendent nines in the process of organ- ization far exceeds those of last sea- gon. Already the Bankers’, Triple A and, Dry Goods Leagues have organ- ized, completed their schedules and are ready for the call of ‘‘play ball.’’ The greatest drawback to the promotion of amateur baseball in St. Louis the lack of grounds. Undoubtedly the am- ateurs are’to blame themselves for this is condition .of affairs. They will deign to play ball if equipped with all the necessities, but respectfully decline to get out and chustle with their captain Or manager when the. question of “where are we going to play?’ is raised, lt must be admitted that lately there are signs of a chatige in this respect and the trio of organizations named above have practically contracted for all the baseball diamonds they wiH use this ‘year. One project ig attractive because of its novelty, that if successfully consummated would become a feature of the local amateur season during the coming season. That is the proposed organization of a team _ Of ex-collegians for the purpose of play- ing ball on Saturday afternoons. John Edy, an '1 Missouri man, is the origina- tor of the idea and he believes that he could attract such players as the Wears, Harry Wallace, Billy Steinwender, Wal- ter Randall, McCasland, Salisbury, Reppy, Lippe, Graves and Cummings. An organization of the kind is playing ball in Memphis and enjoy prosperous seasons. The leading amateur league of the season should be the Bankers, which will have a mebership of four clubs— the Bank of Commerce, Third Natienal Bank, Commonwealth Trust and St. Louis-Union Trust. The league season will open Saturday, April 28, and con- tinue every Saturday until Sept. 15, in- clusive. The following are the officers of the league: President and secretary, F.. W. Wrieden; treasurér, I. E. San- dusky; Schedule Committee, W. EE. Johnson, C. F. O'Leary and L. H. Frey; Board of Arbitration, Le Hi. Frey, W. E. Johnson, C. F. O'Leary, W. V. Teasdale, I. I. Sandusky and W, M. Shandler. The Triple A League was the sec ond organization to announce its plans for the coming season. George Dieckman, the well-known local sportsman, is president of the league and Sard Smith, a prominent promoter of amateur sport, secretary and treasurer. It was re- _golvyed to begin the playing season April has been suggested that to Be Surmounted. ever known, the race this year Barr's, are the Nugent's, Grand-Leaders, May Serugss. Parks, South.

Besides these leagues the League will again be in the field and the Knights of lather Mathew assocla- tion that enjoyed such a_ successful season last year will also be reorgan- ized for the season of 1906. The Country Club, whose socker eleven proved such a factor in the foot- ball field, will be probably resented in baseball. There is a wealth of material among tlic club's: members and a first-cass team should be picked from the Wears, Wallaces, Drews, Wal- kers and Gambles. The Missourt Athletic Club have had Co.'s, Sodality a baseball team during -past seasons and will probably do so again. It is to institution be deplored that an athletic of the importance of the M.

Everyone should take a tonic in the Spring; their systems require it.¥ The blood hes’ : become thick and sluggish with the accumulations left in the system from breathing the impure air of closed rooms and overheated buildings; the heavy, rich foods of ae season, etc., and when this vital fluidis aroused and stirred to quicker action by thee of warmer weather, these waste matters and poisons are distributed through the tireula- — tion, to act depressingly and injuriously on the system. The blood being in this unnata- — ral and i impure condition is unable tofurnish the body with the proper amount of notrish= — ment and strength, and the system suffers from debility, weakness, nervousness, indiges- tion, loss of appetite, and other symptoms of a disordered bhood circulation. . The depleted system ¢@nust have assistance; it needs a tonic and it is important that the proper one be selected. When the health is in this disordered condition it is not safe to take unknown concoctions, sarsaparillas, etc., because they usually contain potash | or other-strong mineral ingredients which act unfavorably and often dangerously on the :run-down, weakened system, at a time when it needs gentle and natural stimulation to throw off the impurities and recuperate its lost energy. A great deal is being said these days about living close to nature, and it is more appli- a, cable to medicines, perhaps, than- anything else. Nature has provided a remedy for — allthe ills of mankind, and medicines made: from nature’s vegetation act better in every ~ way than the mineral ces sab nay which are the products of the chemist’s shop. ae - The greatest of all tonics is $$.

ate BY GEORGE ADE. (Copyright, 10906, by George Ade.) HE foregoing is a very new speci- men of English music hall hu- mor. Mr. Peasley thinks it is the best thing he has heard since he struck London, and he has seen:a play by Henry Arthur Jones and attended services at St. Paul’s. After going to the music hall three times he succeed- ed in getting the words, and he is now working on the air. We did not expect to have Mr. Peas- ley with us in London. He planned to hurry on to Paris, but he has beén waiting here for his trunk to catch up with him. The story of the trunk. will ‘ come later. As we steamed into Plymouth Har- ‘bor on a damp and .overéast Sabbath morning, Mr. Peasley stood on the top- most deck and gave encouraging infor- mation to a man from Central Illinois who was on his first trip abroad. Mr. Peasley had been over for six weeks in 1895, and that gave him a license to do . the “old traveler” specialty. In beginning a story he would shy, | “J remember once I was crossing onthe Umbria,"or possibly, “That -reminds me of ‘a funny thing I once saw in Munich.” He did not practice to de- ceive, and yet he gave strangers the impression that he had crossed on the Umbria possibly twelve or fourteen times and had spent years in Munich. ‘The Illinois man looked up to Mr.: Peasiey as a modern Marco Polo, and Mr. Peasley proceeded to unbend to bim. ‘ “A few years ago Americans were very unpopular in England,” said Mr. ‘Peasley. “Every one of them was sup. posed to have either a dynamite bomb ora bunch of mining stock in his pock- et. All that is changed now—all skanked. As we eome up to the dock in Plymouth you will notice just be yond the station a large triumphal arch of evergreen bearing the words, “Welcome, American!’ Possibly the band will not be out this morning, be- cause it is Sunday and the weather is _ threatening, but the Reception Com- mittee will be on hand. ' If we can take time before starting for London no doubt a committee from the Com- mercial Club. will haul us argund in open carriages to visit the publie build.’ ings and breweries and other points of interest. And you'll find that your money is counterfeit out here. No use talkin’, we're all one people—just like brothers. Wait till you get to London. You'll think you're right back among your friends in Decatur.” It ‘was too early in the morning for the Reception Committee, but there was & policeman—one solitary, water logged, sad eyed policeman—waiting lonesomely on the dock ‘as the tender came alongside. He stood by the gang- plank and scrutinized us carefully as we filed ashore. The Illinois man looked about for the triumphal arch, but could not find it. Mr. Peasley explained that they had taken it in on account of the rain. While the passengers were kept herd. ed together into a rather gloomy wait- _ fng room the trunks and larger bag. gage were brought ashore and sorted out according to the alphabetica) labels in ah adjoining room to await the cus- a, toms examination. When the doors opened there was a 2 wish somewhat like the opening of an Oklahoma ‘eservation. . | the: trunks had been passed and were In 10 minutes _ being trundied out to the special train.

On top was a number and beneath it said in red letters at least two inches tall, “This baggage has been checked to Hamburg.” We. called Mr. Peasley’s attention to the reading matter, but he said it was a mistake, because he had been intending all the time te get off at Plymouth. “Nevertheless, your trunk has gone to Hamburg,” he was told. “Where is Hamburg?” “In Germany. The Teuton who checked your baggage could not by any effort of the imagination conceive the possibility of a person starting for any- where except Ifamburg. In two days your trunk will be lying on a dock in Germany.” “Well, there’s one consolation,” ob- served Mr. Peasley, “the clothes in that trunk won’t fit any German.” "AITING FOR CLOTHES.

|or dining room in London there is In every hotel lobby , every restaurant, the- ater or music hall, after the coaqula- ted fog of the daytime settles into the opaque gloom of night, there is but one style of «tress for any mortal. who does not wish ‘to publicly pose as a bar- barian. The man who affects a “Tux- edo” mivht as. we]l wear a sweater. In fact, it would be better for him if he did wear a sweater, for then people would understand that he was making no effort to dress; but when he: puts on a bobtail he conveys the impression that he is trying to be and doesn’t understand: the rules. An Englishman begins’ to. blossom about half-past seven p. m.« The men seen in the streets during the day seem some “stag.” But no compornfise. correct a pretty dingy Jot. compared with a] well-dressed stream along Fifth ave- nue. Many of the tall hats bear a faithful resemblance to fur caps. . The trousers bag and the coat collars are ounched in the rear and ‘all the shoes seem about two sizes: too large. sionally you see a man on his way to a train and he wears a shapeless bag of Occa- a garment made of some leosely woven materia] that looks like with a cap that resembles nothing so much as a Welsh rabbit that has “spread.” To complete the picture, ‘he carries a horse blanket. He thinks it but it isn’t. It is.a horse gunnysack, is a rug, blanket. HIS OPEN-FACED SUIT. If the Englishman dressed for travel is the most sloppy of all civilized be- ings, so the Englishman in his night repalia is the most correct and _ irre- proachable of gnortals. He can wear »vening clothes‘without being congcious of the fact that he is “dressed up.” The trouble with the ordinary American who owns an open-faced suit is that he wears it only about once a*month. For two days before assuming the splendor of full dress he broods over the ap- proaching ordeal. As the fateful night draws rear he counts up his studs and investigates the “white vest” situation. In the deep solitude of his rogm he mournfully climbs. into, the camphor- laden garments, and when he is ready to ventur forth, a tall collar choking him above, the glassy shoes pinching him below, lie is just as much at’ ease as he would be in a full suit of armor, with casque arid visor. . However, all of this is off the subject. Here was Mr. Peasley in London, desir- ous of “cutting a wide gash,” as he very prettily termed it, plenty of good money from [owa burning in his pock- et, and he could not get out and “asso- ‘' ciate” because of a mere deficiency in clothing. At the first-class theaters his “bowl- er” hat cundeinned him and he was sent into the gallery.. When he walked into a restaurant the head waiter give him = one would quick and searching glance and then put him off in some corner, behind a palm. Even in the ‘music. halls the surrounding “Johnnie” regarded him with wonder as another specimen of the eccentrie Yankee. We suggested to Mr. Peasley that he wear a placard reading “I have some clothes, but my trunk is in Hamburg.” He said that as soon as his swell duds arrived’ he was going to put. them on and revisit all of the places at which he had been humiliated and down, just to let the flunkeys that they had been mistaken.

football game without wearing a spe- cial uniform. —So he went out to see a non-brutal game played according to the Association rules. The gentle pas- time known as football in America is a modification and over development of the Rugby game as played in Great Britain. ‘The association, or “‘socker” game, which is ‘now being introduced in the United States as counter-irritant for the. old-fashioned form of man- slaughter, is by far the more poptilar in England. The Rugby Association is waning in popularity, not because of anv outery against the character of the play or any’talk of “brutality,” but because the. British publi¢ has g more abiding fondness for the association game. FOOTBALL ALE THE TIME. In America weethink we are football crazy because we have a few big col- lege games during October and Novem- ber of each year. -In Great Britain the football’ habit is something that abides, the. same as the tea habit.

There were two games at each of which the attendance was over 30,000, with the receipts exceeding $5000. <A very conservative estimate of the total attendance at the games played on this Saturday would be 400,000. In other words, on one Satur- day afternoon in February, the attend- ance at football games was equal to the total atténdance at all of the big college games during an.entire season in the United States. No wonder that the English newspapers are beginning to ask editurially “Is football a curse?” There is no cclamor regarding the roughness of the game, but it is said to cost too much money and to take up too much time for.the results achieved. The game to which Mr. Peasley con- ducted us was played in rather Inclem- ent weather—that is, inclement London most terrible day that the imagination can picture—a dark, chilly, .drippy day, with frequent downpours of icé.

Chattanooga Citizens Resent Talk. of Federal Inquiry of “Negro Hanging.

WITNESS WAS WARNED

State's Rights Feeling Gives Sympathy to Those Who Hanged Negro.

“BEST LET IT ALONE”

Letters Carry Warnings to Those in Position to As- sist Inquiry,

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 3f— The announced determination of - the Federal Supremé Court to ‘take action in connection with tht lynching of the colored prisoner, Johnson, last week, has caused considerable revulsion of feeling here. There was general condemnation of the action of the mob which took John- son from his’ cell and lynched him, after the Federal Court had granted a stay. ,But the fact that the Federal tribunal now proposes to press the mat- ter farther thas aroused a strong re- sentment, because the feeling ‘is that this trouble is properly the concern of the State courts and that the Federal Supreme Court will not Improve the situation by further pressing its as- sumption of a jurisdiction superior to that of the State courts. . Sherift Shipp’s friends insist that he was in no way blamable for the lynch- ing. He supposed, they declara, that the Jail was well guarded, and hurried | to it as soon as'‘he heard of the trouble. He has always stood high here, and Is now candidate for re-election. Witnesses Reing Warned. An investigation of.the lynching would ° be made as difficult as possible. Per- sons who saw more or less of it, though taking no part, are receiving the most direct hints not to talk too much about it, either before the grand jury or be- fore any court or about town. -Anony- mous letters are beginning to play a part, and it is even said that the Fed- eral District Attorney has been receiv- ing these. warning him not to take too active a part in any inquiry. Thus far the Federal authorties have done noth- ing here and their course is problemat- ical, Local sentiment was well portrayed in the following editorial appearing in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. “We do not approve of lynching in the abstract, and we are certain. the people of: Chattanooga do not approve of it. This has been amply proven by the actions of the people of that city. ‘We do not believe that Chattanooga intended contempt or disrespect to the United States Supreme Court in lynch- ing the negro brute, but that patience was simply exhausted and action had become necessary. “We believe no good can come of muddying the waters in Chattanooga. There is talk of a Federal prosecution of the State’s Sheriff. No published re- ort connects this Sheriff with the ynchers, and to prosecute him because of the act of others is ridiculous. We venture the prediction that if the Fed- eral Court brings its criminal action against this Sheriff the trial will prove a farce, but animositles will have been engendered that will require .years to quench.’’ It is understood here now that no ac- tion will be ordered from Washington until District Attorney Wright submits his report of local happenings.

EDITOR FIGHTS BANK ROBBERS Left Unconscious by Foiled Men Who Shot at Him Twice. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CASTANA, Io., March 31.—An attempt- ed bank robbery at this place was frus- trated by W. C. Newton, editor of the Castana Times, who had an experience} that he is not likely to forget soon. The part he took in the affair came very near costing him his life. The fact that he is alive and able to tell the story was no fault of the robhers. About 10:25 p. m. Newton and his wife left the Times office, and as they were pasging the Castana Savings Bank New- ton noticed 4 suspicious character about the bank building. He took his wife home and then tried to reach the bank's president, W. T, Day, by phone. Fail- ing in this, he phoned E. E. Wiley. cashier. Newton then returned to the bank. He approached the bank from the east, with the telephone exchange and a large store building between him and the bank building, not expecting to encoun- ter anyone. Suddenly a shot rang out, and Newton Saw &2 man sO close that he grapplee with him. While they were struggling the robber placed the gun close to New- ton’s head and no doubt would have killed him had Newton not dodged as the trigger was pulled. The bullet passed through his hat. The gun was s0 — that the hat was burned by pow-

While Newton was struggling he heard another man approach on the run. The ; two men pounded and stamped Newton into unconsciousness and then left. He was found by Cashier Wiley.

Music Talks fo Music Lovers and the Kieselhorst ~~ Plan The wailing of the wind at night, the hum of in- sect life, the nightingale’s note, the scream of fhe eagle, the cries of animals, and, above all, the natural inflections of the human voice—sueh are the rude elements of music, incoherent and formless. — ; 4 j j 14 el ee ee

Nowhere does there fall upon the musician’s ear, as he walks through the} wide world, such an ar- rangement of consecutive;}sound as can be called a musical subject, theme or melody, and far less does he find anything that can be called musical harmony. MUSIC IS MAN MADE The musician seizes the rough element of sound and compels it to work his will, and, having with infinite pains subjugated it and tamed it, he is re- warded by discovering in it the most direct and per- fect medium in all nature for the expression of his "THE KIMBALL PIANO The Kimball is the best medium of musical ex- pression. It articulates the language of music best. From the brain of the players through the tips of the fingers comes that perfect harmony that he is seeking, and he or she is ¢arried away on the wings ee KIESELHORST.

USBAND DEAD, | SAYS WIFE Ih INSURANCE SUIT Scandal of Missouri Town Re- vived in Action for $3000.

ALIVE, PLEADS COMPANY

Church Leader and Merchant Disappeared After Love Affair in 1898.

WROTE OF DEATH PLAN

Neighbors Deny Identification of Body Wife Says Was His,

Special to the Post-Dispatch. GALLATIN, Mo., March 31.—Mrs. Min- nie Olive Bruner of Civil Bend, Mo., has instituted suit in the Daviess County Circuit Court against the Modern Wood- men of America for $3000, being the amount of life insurance on a _ policy held by her husband, Othniel Bruner, at the time of his mysterious and sen- sational disappearance in May, 1898. At the time of his sudden departure Bruner was a popular resident of Civil Bend, on inland town in northern Davi- ess County. He kept the only store in the town for years, was Postmaster and a leader in church and Sunday school work. May ._—s21, 1898, he left his home without warning after the discovery of a clandestine love affair between him and a pretty young girl who was a member of his Sunday school class and the daughter of a neighbor. The affair caused a great sensation throughout the -neighborhood. “Last Letter” to Wife. Shortly after his departure his wife received a note from him stating that he intended to end his life by jumping into the Missouri River from the St. Joseph bridge on May 22, 1898. Later a body was found in the river near Leavenworth, Kan., and was, the petition alleges identified as Bruner and buried in the cemetery at Leav en- worth. A $500 reward was offered for Bruner’s arrest by the father of the girl imme- diately after he ran away and diligent search was made for him throughout the country. Some of his neighbors who went to Leavenworth to see the body found and buried there as Bruner, declared it was not him, while others thought: there was some resemblance. Many arrests of suspects were made in various sections of the country. Properly Identified, Says Wife. Mrs. Bruner’s petition alleges that Othniel Bruner was made a member of iPattonsburg Camp No. 2149, M. W, A., | Feb. 16, 1894, for $3000 in which she was named as beneficiary; that he left his home on May 21, 1898, and went to St. -Joseph, Mo., and that she believes he came to his death by drowning in the Missouri River after jumping from the bridge at St. Joseph, and that his body was found in the Missouri River near Leavenworth, Kan., a few days after- ward, identified and buried in the ceme- tery at that place; that he was a mem- ber of the M. W. A. in good standing, with his life insurance policy in full force at the time of his departure and that proofs of his death were furnished the defendant and demand made for payment of insurance, but refused. She asks judgment for $3000, with costs and interest. $20,000 SEEKING $1500, Farmer Spends Fortune in Suit Against Railroad. Special to ne Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 31.—Greg- ory D. McLean, a farmer, testified in the Circuit Court that in the last four years he had spent every cent of his modest fortune, $20,000, in trying to re- cover compensation for the loss of six steers worth $150. Now he is seeking permission to continue the suit as a pau- per, the State to pay the costs. Judge McCune denied his petition. Four years ago a neighbor of his shipped a carload of cattle to Kansas City. and six of McLean's steers got mixed up in the bunch. McLean fol- lowed the cattle to the stockyards here and recovered three head. Then he sued the neighbor and recovered the value of the other three, $75. Later he brought suit against the. St. Paul Railroad for damages and ex- enses incurred in making the recovery, fe asks $1500. WOMAN ARCHER’S ) PR: FITABLE SHOTS. Special eames to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, March 31.—To judge by the keen interest shown in the final compe- titions of the Winter Club archery meeting at Olympia the ancient and. at the same time warlike pastime of draw- ing the bow is still in a very flourishing state. The “hat trick’? was performed by one of the women archers, Miss Horne of East Sheen, who secured three consecu- tive “‘golds,”’ or bull’s-eyes. According to the ancient custom at archery meetings, Miss Horne, by scor- ing three consecutive ‘golds,’ was en- titled to collect 25 cents from every woman competitor. As these numbered 90, she pocketed the sum of $22.50. “The ‘gold’ does not correspond to the bull’s-eye of the rifle range, however,” said one of the archers. “The ‘gold’ is always looked on more or less as a fluke. The shooters strive to get a good average. ‘Archery is no doubt increasing in opularity. There are probably at least 000 proficient shooters in England, 4000 of whom are women.., et A, te ie ela ere ee TWICE AN AMERICAN. First Citizenship iship Destroyed in Flames, Gets More.

About five. miles Svuth -of- Kirgman he saw an: ‘eagie perched on a °crossarm of a telegraph pole. Another eagle was on the ground near the pole. Kinney fired at the caele on the crossarm while the train: was in motion. Just as he fired, the vagle on the ground raised and flew directly be- hind the other bird. The bullet struck the first eagle, penetrated it and passed on, striking the second eagle, killing both birds. The train was stopped and Kinney gathered in the effects of his wonderful shot.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, GUILFORD, Mo., March 31.—The ine vestigation of Tuesday night's window smashing took a sensational turn whea Pnoch W. Gray, editor of the Guilford Times, was arrested, charged with thé offenses. : ' Wditor Gray was arrested at the Guik ford Hotel by Sheriff George Evans, at the suggestion of a committee of citl zens composed of J. L. Ballard, J. M, Pugh, J. W. Lazenby and James Skid. . more, merchants of (juilford. These mea discovered blood stains leading from the business district to the room oOcCUe pied by Gray. A fresh wound in his hand is thought to prove that he had] injured himself while smashing- the windows. Gray was taken to Maryville and was about to be placed in the County Jail there, when he was bailed out ‘by ‘a Bars nard friend. The citizens’ committee asserts it will have no difficulty in proving that Gray did the ‘work, assisted by an accomplice, whose arrest will follow shortly. ‘Blood Trail Complete. It was found, the committee claims, that blood stains were on the walk in front of one of the smashed windows, which were traced along the walk to where they led into the house, up the stairs and to a room ecupied b oung Gray. Tuan bes 4 leventiontion of the room was made, it is declared, blood was also pesind on a pitcher in the room, ae later it was found that the ete act n had a fresh cut on his right han J. M. Pugh is the landlord of the nos tel, and he claims that Gray went to his room the evening before the window smashing, but afterwards left the ho- tel ang did not return until considerably later. The motive assigned is the fact that several of the business men had recent- ly withheld advertising from Gray’s ne wW£paper. County Attorney Acts, When the evidence was outlined to County Attorney Funk Thursday even- ing he filed an information against Gray. Gray, who is 23 years old, declares he is innocent of the charge, and knows nothing of the matter. He says, more- over, that he will prosecute the citizens who are responsible for. his arrest, Gray went to Guilford a year ago from Rosendale and established the Times, which he has since published. The paper appeared to be successful, and was well thought of, at least until recently. It is said some of the townspeople have of late not been inclined to patronize the publication. Considerable excitement was caused in Guilford by the window smashing, as only two business buildings in the town escaped damaged. NON-DUELIST HURT. wacean Behind Scenes in e Affair.

MACON, Ga., March 31.—W hile James O'Neil’ was entertaining the duel with his last enemy, Villefort, in the “Count of Monte Cristo” at the Grand, the lights went out and City Electrician Humphreys, who was be- hind the scenes looking after the elec- trical apparatus, found himself hold- ing to a burning, sizzling wire when he attempted to mend things so as to prevent a break in, the play. After a moment:of darkness several men who came to the assistance of Humphries, found him with his none burned, byt still holding on. Th current was a heavy one, and besides keeping several men busy for a few moments, came near crippling the electrician. -The play - was renewed when Humphreys secured an instru- ment with which to relieve ,himself of the current caused by the break in the wire.

OD on ol RG, bie 31.—Statis- tics which have been published here bearing upon the question whether rep- resentation under the new constitution shall be on the basis of voters or of population show that there are 61,21) more women and children in the country distriats than on the Witwatersrand, ay excess: which, under 4 system of repre- sentation according. to population would, it ie estimated, give the supporters of “Het Volk’’ a majority of 10 members in Parliament, The decision of the imperial Govern- ment to send out a committee to iIn- vestigate the whole question has been calmly received. It was generally an- ticipated that such a course would be adopted. If the committee is composed | of impartial men, it will be warmly woke paused by the, colonists, including the mining community, who declare that there will then be nothing to fear from it, while its yisit will doubtless result in the removal of the erroneous ideas ex- isting -in the home country. All circles allke actmit that it is imperative to avert any unnecessary delay, which it is main- tained would-result in a diminution of the number of British workers employed | in the tnduestrial undertakings on the Rana, while considerable expansion in the mining industry would be suspend- ed, pending the continued uncertainty _ @8 to the future of the labor question.

Head of Kansas G. | A. BR. De- mands Counties Disinter Soldiers’ Bodies.

BURIAL LAW. VIOLATED

Patients at Insane Hospital Buried in Unmarked Lots. Speciul to the Post-Dispatch. » TOPEKA, Kan., March 31.—Com- mander P. H. Coney of the Kansas G. A. R., is determined that no old sol- dier shall remain buried in a pauper grave, He is, therefore, making in- vestigations and finds that about fifty old soldiers occupy paupers’ graves at Coney will try to compel the counties from which these soldiers came, to disinter the bodies and Yrebury in the soldiers’ cemetery. Old soldiers was passed in 1885, and Says that “No Union _ soldier ever occupy a pauper’s grave.” It pro- Vides that the cqgunty of which the a burial, exceed $59, and erect a Which shall cost not more than $20. and secured the names of the soldiers who rest in the potter's field, and also the names of the counties where they resided before entering the asylum. He will try to have the counties car- ry out the law and not permit old fleld. do~- not If the counties act, scription for the purpose, or get the Sary money for this patriotic act. The Attorney-General says that the counties could not be compelled to disinter and rebury the bodies of the soldiers, as the law does not provide for disinterment, but they can be compelled to erect headstones. Coney says the counties ought to be made*to do it because it would cost no more than the law provides for the purpose, that the disinterment, reburial and $50 apiece, which* makes it less than the law provides. He will now look into the records of other asylums and find whether there are other soldiers buried in potter’s fields and act in their behalf also. $20

which is used as a dormitory and for the accommodation of offices, are the dining hall and chapel, the hospital, the and the greenhouses. Emanating from this central square are found the commissary with a bowl- ing alley in the basement, the black- smith and paint shops, the carpentry the electric power plant, the buildings, the brick kiln, the stables and the tool houses. Boys are admitted through the a*- tion of the County Courts of the State, for crimes ranging in seriousness from incorrigibility and the slightest misde- meanors, to murder. When a boy enters the school he is allowed to take up one of the many trades in which he may care to perfect himself. Boys between the ages'of 8 and 18 may be committed for any length of time, but a rule of the school has it that, if at the end of the eighteenth month an inmate is morally fit,-he may be pa- reled from the school, and merely report by letter or in person each month dur- ing the term of his sentence. 2500 Boys Trained There, Since the establishment of the school 2500 boys have passed under its influ- ence. Of the boys now in the school 329 are Americans, 36 Irish, 19 Germans and 12 Indians. These latter are Fed- eral prisoners sent from the territories. As regards centers of commitment, St. Louis furnishes 129. Next in order come the United States prisoners, 61 in number. Jasper and Buchanan Counties each is represented by #4 inmates, and Jackson County (Kansas City) follows closely with 23. The greatest number of committments are for burglary, with. grand larceny next in the list and petit larceny third. Much has been said regarding the real merit of such a school, but in the fact that out of 2000 released, 70 per cent have been entirely reformed and fitted for the battles of life, lies its defender 8 chief consolation. : As mentioned before, there Is a mili- itary organization within the school. There are eight companies, six white and two colored, with a military band of 30 pieces under a very competent ~ Bach officer and each boy speaks of his fellow as “Brother. The system of control of conduct by demer- is in vogue. te ife at he school does not consist al- together of work. There are inter- company baseball and football con- tests. Bowling tournaments have been instituted within the past few years and occasional band concerts, lectures, plays, literary and vocal programs tend to keep Jack from becoming a dull boy. A feature of the Fourth of July celebration is the track and field nors. : nerntike many public institutions, the Missouri Training School for Boys is nearly self-supporting. During the past year the agricultural department produced 18,245 heads of cabbage, 408 bushels of beans, 1082 bushels of toma- toes, 6440 bushels of potatoes, 9962 quarts of strawberries, 6068 pounds of grapes, 5175 bushels of corn, and 1627 bushels of wheat, besides many other commodities. | The tailoring and shoe shops turn out in a year about 30 coats, 462 jackets, 908 pairs of pants, 3730 shirts, 1900 over- alls and 660 pairs of shoes. The brick kilns supply all of the bricks used in building and the carpen- try and pope departments do all frame and finishing work. A small but efficient printing office is maintained, where all of the job printing of the school is done and a monthly paper known as Our _ Boys’ Magazine is published. During the usual school period each company is required to attend school for alt of each day. The spiritual help comes from outside sourcés. Each Sunday afternoon some one of the local ministers goes to the school and. con- ducts the religious exercises. Visiting ministers, priests and rabbis are al- ways invited to speak to the school.

not a sport in Arkansas but has heard the decision of the big men in the fra- ternity. “We Says close, we close. cannot fight the Governor; if he 99 The story of the “‘lid’’ that is to be: put on Hot Springs gambling is stranger than that of the moral waves that have swept over Missouri and New York. In Hot Springs there are persons wtto believe gambling should be suppressed, but there is no crystallization.of the sentiment in any organization. Even the Citizens’ Reform party, which has put up a ticket of city officials for sac- rife. and which inveighs against “‘cor- ruption’’ and advocates city improve- ment, says no word in its manifests against gambling. Since the drastic law adopted by the Legislature four years ago, under which officials were charged with having knowledge of gambling conducted in their jurisdiction, was declared by the Supreme Court improperly passed, the only law against gambling in the State of Arkansas is that passed in 18%. It is declared by lawyers of all convictions to be sufficient and effective for the closing of every so-called club in Hot Springs. It was invoked by the reform ele- ment, with. whom the owners of the high-class gambling clubs co-operated in the cleaning out of Hot Springs of all those ‘“‘quick-action” and irrespon- sible and ‘“‘skin’’ gamblers who were Killing the goose that laid golden eggs by robbing visitors It was invoked for the suppression of slot machines. Hot Springs today presents this anom- aly: Having seven public and half doz- en semi-public gambling nouses, seven licensed poolrooms and not one cigar counter dice game, nor any slot ma- chine or device where the goddess of chance may. be wooed. The Law of 1859. The law of 1859 is the authority un- der which the gambling house owners have been constructively arrested oe a month during the past two and ‘half years and fined Jregular sums for the benefit of the county and State. County ordinances against gaming have also been invoked and fines collected at the same periods for the benefit of the municipality. Thus; under what amounts to a li- cense system, six lavishly decorated gambling halls, furnished at the es- timated expense of a quarter of a mil- lion dollars, and operated at an ex- ry of over $100,000 a year, have eld open house for all who cared to their money on faro, roulette and other games. The Wilson-law stopped gambling for nearly three months; that was three years ago. Nearly five hundred indictments were returned by the grand jury. Under agreement, one conviction was appealed to the Su- preme Court, the understanding being that all the remaining cases were to abide the result of this appeal. The Supreme Court held that an amendment to the bill was not passed yy one branch of the Legislature, and the law was, therefore, invalid. Notwithstanding that it was then, and is now, held that the law of 1869 Was effective, gambling was resumed and has continued until today, un- checked save as the amiable system of constructive arrests and the col- lection of stipulated fines from -attor- neys may be said to be a check, The peace officers and the proprie- tors of the “clubs” have insisted, the latter more-strenuously than the for- mer, on the observance of all the rules of decorum by their patrons. boisterousness, drunkenness and even Over-enthusiasm not due to alcoho! having ee checked effectively, No Improper Conduct, No fastidious woman or Man was ever shocked by the improper behavior of any person within these clubs. With this spirit prevalent, a majority of the citizens of Hot Springs is said to have been entirely content. Public officials say that they were content because there was no. public sentiment demanding the enforcement of the law. Long Branch in its: palmy days and Saratoga never had less cause for complaint on the score of mere or- derliness than Hot Springs, There are seven poolrooms in Hot Springs, each bearing the name of a club with which it is eonnected—thne South- ern Kentucky, Ohfo, Indiana, sas, Illinois and tage As the law of 1869 permits betting on h are conducted within an inclosure, it has been held by Arkansas courts that poolselling on horseracing was likewisaq permitted. Hot Springs has in conse. quence a revenue ordinance licensing poolrooms at the rate of $2400 ana col- lects thereby $14,400 annually. Add to this about $60,000 per year for the my- hs a share of the periodicd! fines assessed inst gambling houses ana its license fees for 60 saloons at $609 per GOVERNOR - 1ed. A Kei qT =e orseraces that.

JEFF DAVIS annum each. and you will see the sur- prisingly large income it receives inde- pendently of taxes or property and the license fees it assesses in common with all other cities. Probably the demand for enforcement |] would never have arisen in the breasts of citizens of the town; probably the few, who preach the unrighteousness of betting on the red or black, would never have gathered force enough to effect the closing of the clubs. An outside force was needed. The moral wave must rise elsewhere. Sad to relate, it was politics that caused the wave to rise. Follow my Story and you shall see how this sit- uation came into being. Six years ago, Jeff Davis, a man of the people, a politician as quaint, as forceful and as peculiarly dominant as Tillman, aspired to be Governor of Ar- kansas. He was then Attorney-General and, apart from those qualities which are his native endowment, not brilliant- ly fitted for that position. Suffice it to say, that he has grown greatly since that time. The State was then dominated by Senators Jones and Berry and their friends, able politicians, but grown old and over-fond of playing the string of ex-Confederate soldier sentiment which does not meet with the same response in this day as formerly, for a genera- tion of voters has arisen which does not worship diligently at the old shrine. Four men opposed Davis; before the primary, these withdrew. paign Davis took up the fight of a candidate for Attorney-General and a candidate for Secretary of State; these he carried into office. Two years later he didate for Governor. Springs opposed him and the espoused the cause of Rector. adopted the same device in this cam- paign which he had formerly used. He took up the fight of ex-Gov. Clark, who was a candidate for Senator in op- position to Jones. Davis and Clark were elected, and the “Old Guard” of Arkansas Democra- cy suffered its first decisive defeat. Two years later Davis broke the State pre- was again a can- Col. Rector of Hot Senators Davis cedent, being elected Governor for the) third term, after a bitter contest. Davis After Berry’s Scalp. Now we reach the year 1906, when Senator Berry must stand for re-elee- tion. Having filled the chair of Gov- ernor as long as he could be reasonably expected to hold it, Davis became a candidate to succeed Berry. He had aided in the ousting of Jones, and was determined to eliminate Berry, who had ever been his enemy. Davis, in his campaign, which is now all over, though the election will not be held till next fall, fought Attorney-Gen- eral Rogers, who was a candidate for Governor, and delegations were chosen who will nominate Little for Governor. The voters also namefi Davis as their choice for Senator. ‘And so, .after six years’ fight, , Jeff Davis has completely eliminated the old crowd,’’ says one of his warm admirers. “They will never bother us agaia.”’ Davis’ majority over Berry is small. Over a month ago, John H. Page, Chair- man of the Democratic State Central Committee, figured out the result and made it a matter of record, as he is in the habit of doing. He checked off the counties Davis would carry and record- the majorities he expected, One county may have disappointed him, but the returns are not all in. Davis’ ma- jority, as he estimated it, was 11,000. The real majority will be around . 8000. Garland County a Battleground. Garland County was one of the bones over which the hottest fight was waged. That {is the county in which Hot Springs is situated. Sheriff Williams is a power there. Williams is a rugged little man. who has used his gun in the elimination of per- sons he deemed dangerous to peace and happiness. Some bitterness arose against this officer and the Governor. the beginning of which is lost in tradi- tion, In addition thereto, a strong friend and backer of Williams’ is the greatest magnate of Hot Springs, who, in turn, is closely allied to Senator Berry. If Williams had not previously heen so inclined, this friendship would have led him into the Berry camp. He worked hard for Berry. In Arkansas political opponents say things about each other that frequently lead to. combat with fists or guns. The State feared bloodshed would mar this campaign and friends of Williams and Davis were very caréful to keep.the men as far apart as nomkibie. They could not keep them from saying things about each other. Now. Davis greatly desired Garland Copnty’s vote. He wanted to be the chéice of Hot Springs for Senator. It was plain to all keen-eyed observers six weeks ago that this wish would not be gratified. Thus, in the course of a speech, Davis announced his law-en- forcement plan.

S Hot Springs Lid On Tomorrow, Says Davis. .To the Edito: of the Post-Dispatch. / LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 31. “The lid is going on Hot Springs April 2, and it is going to stay as long as [ am Gover- nor. It will stay until Jan, 18; 1907, when my term expires, ‘Racetracks at Oaklawn and BHssex, gambling rooms, poolrooms and houses of ill-repute will be closed and ‘stay closed, The de- tails of my plan I will not di- vulge now. I am doing this be.- cause it is the law that these places should be closed and be- cause it is right. That is the on- ly reason I have to offer. “T have nothing further to say. “JEFF DAVIS, “Governor of Arkansas.” ( 0 eee OD ee, rr, ful that gambling club owners were pro- moting Davis’ candidacy, threatened to close them. This cannot be established now. The credit for first announcing the plan is given to Davis. He de- clared that April 1 he would “close ev- ery gambling house in Hot Springs even if he had to call out the militia.”’ As it happened, he was in excellent position to make his threat good with- out resort to the military, for the Pros- ecuting Attorney of the district in which Hot Springs is, H. R. Morrison, died Jan. 25, and his post is still vacant awaiting an appointee to be named by the Governor. Under the law the Pros- ecuting Attorney must be a citizen of the United States, an elector and a res- ident of the judicial district. The Gov- ernor claims he need not be a resident of this county and said he might appoint a man in another part of the State to | carry out his wishes in Hot Springs. Owners of the gambling houses sent agents to the Capitol, who returned with word that the Governor appeared to be determined to cdrry out his threat. He had not coupled it with any refer- ence to the Garland County vote, but they declared they believed that if he should carry the county he would not close the ‘“‘clubs.’"” Some hint of this reached the opponents of Davis. an probably to show that were other Rich- monds in the field, they made a counter} move. On primary election day Depu- ty Sheriff Rowe ordered all the clubs to shut up; this was in the afternoon, and’ all but one obeyed promptly. The oth- ers heard that one of their number was running undisturbed, and after two hours of silence, without fun, all be to do business at the old games. They were not molested further. What effect this move had on the vote it is impossible to say. Not one of the principal “club” own- ers expects to fight the Governor if he moves as he has said he would, Dan Stewart said: “T backed the Sheriff of Dallas against the Governor of Texas; it cost me $%,- 000, and even then I had to pull off my fight in Carson City, Nev.,”" which is a bit of history, and is full of meat to the philosophical sport. “Whenever the Gover nor gives us no- said William tice to quit, we quit,’ Shannon. “IT don't know anything about law.,”’ said Hughey Keane, ‘“‘but the Governor can close us. They said the Governor of Indiana couldn't do it at West Ba- den, but he did.”’ This is the attitude of all the frater- nity. They do not trust lawyers’ talk of technicalities. They cater to persons who will not visit a gaming resort where there is the least probability of a raid. Their patrons are not adventurous sports, but persons who have a horror of arrest. Then, too, the gaming law contains a clause under which a court may issue what is known as “‘a burning order.’’ Under it, all apparatus used in gaming may be seized by a sheriff or constable and the persons in whose pos-

session it is found notified to appear

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST -DISPATCH—APRIL 1, 1903 Martin Gicsebell, 60 Years Old, head, a revolver in his hands, Found Dead on Bed in His Home, a DYING WIFE BESIDE HIM Her Skull Was Fractured Six Times by Terrible Rain of Blows. NO CAUSE FOR TRAGEDY a ‘Believed That Old Man Was Suddenly Attacked by Homicidal Mania. . Martin Giesebell, 6) years old, was found dead from a bullet wound in his at his home, 4821 South Broadway, yesterday forenoon, His wife, Martha, aged 55, Was lying on the bed beside him, -her head terribly crushed with a hammer, still breathing but unconscious. Mrs. Giesebell was taken to the City Hospital, where physicians discovered that her skull was fractured in six piaces and they said that she could not live. . The deuble tragedy was discovered by Mrs, Lizzie Lang, who lives with. her husband, Jacob Lang, and three chil- dren, in the lower flat of the building, which the Giesebells owned. The police were at Once notified and Sergt. Whalen and Patrolman Hendy of the Carondelet- Station went to the house and investigated the affair. it was at first thought that the wom- an, as well as the man, dad been shot, but on examination of the pistol found in. Goesebell’s hand, showed that only ane chamber was empty. Then a search for the weapon with which Mrs. Giese- bell had been assaulted was made, and the officers found a hammer in a basin of weter in the sink in the kitchen. The hammer had evidently been washed | io cleanse it of blood stains, but -*totches of blood still adhered to it. The police are convinced that Giesebell, in a moment of homicidal mania, at- tacked his wife with the Aammer, and ivinking she was dead, killed himself with the pistol.

She says he was gone Only a minute or two when he came down and said there was rrobably no one at home, as he got no answer to his knock. He then gave Mrs. Lang a -card with his name and.ad- dress and asked her to give it to Giese- bell and ‘tell him to write to the address given. He said -Giesebell was a friend of his and would understand, The man then left. That was about 8:3 a. m. Not seeing the Giésebells, Mrs. Lang says that she went upstairs to deliver the note. The women were on such intimate terms it was not the custom for either to knock when going into the flat of the other, and Mrs. ang went into the Giesebell kitchen, then into the bedroom which adjoins it. As soon as she entered she saw the two bodies on the bed, and the bed clothing covered with blood. She gave the alarm and several of the near neighbors went to the house. The police were at once notified and an ambulance sent for. Neither the son, bell, a barber, who Wyoming street, nor the neighbors can give any explanation of the deed other than on the theory of a sudden fit of homicidal insanity.

Was Usually Morosce. Giesebell seemed always to be sup- plied with ready money, and it is said . that he and his wife lived more lux- uriously than is common with people of their age and station. For several days, it is said, Giesebell had not ap- peared to be in his usual mood. He was inattentive when spoken to and appeared to forget the topic in the midst of a conversation. No one at- tached any importance to this circum- stance, as he was a very quiet man, The last seen of Mrs. Glesebell be- fore the tragedy was on Friday after- noon. She had not been well for sev- eral days, and Friday Mrs. Lang went up to see if there was anything she could do for her. Mr. Giesebell wanted to send for a doctor, but his wife said there was no need of that as she would be well in a day or two. She was lying on the bed at the time Mrs, Lang called, and her husband wae very attentive to her wants. esebell was seen by the eldest son of Mrs. Lang, a pee about 10 years old, between 7:30 and 8 a. m.

The boy saw him come back and go wup- stairs. Tragedy After Breakfast, That the couple had had breakfast was evident from the dishes on the table. Presumably they had break- fast after Giesebell returned from the grocery, and as the bodies were dis- covered about 9 o’clock, the attack and self-destruction must have §oc- curred between 8 and 9 o'clock. Mrs. Lang is at a loss to understand why she did not hear the sound of the pistol shot. She says that ordinarily she. could hear the Giesebells when they were moving around in their rooms, and the only explanation she or the police can give of. why she failed to hear the shot is that Giese- bell muffled the sound by covering his head with the bed clothes when he fired, and that the quilt was Sahai off his head when his hand ell. ‘Mrs. Lang’s three children were playing in the yard all the morning and none of them heard the shot, nor any sound at all coming from the flat above, The theory of the police that Giesebell became suddenly insane while his wife was lying on the bed. attacked her with the hammer before she could make an outcry, and then, muffling this head in the bed clothes, Sent a bullet through his head. is Rev.

FIGURES SHOW PROGRESS Comparisons That Show Growth of the Greatest Paper in the West. Lives of rich men are surprising Proofs of how a pile will grow When a man for advertising Spends a little of his dough. The St. Louis Advertising Men’s League was entertained by the Post- Dispatch Saturday aftefnoon at. Post-Dispatch office. A numerous @@dy of members were the guests of the paper and enjoyed a personally-conducted tour through the building. They were taken to the fifth floor and through the photo-engraving depart- ment, where the engravers were getting out illustrations for the Sunday paper. From there they descended to the fourth floor, where they were so fortunate as to be present: when the composing room and the stereotypers were in the rush of getting out a baseball eXtra. The Post-Dispatch has the finest newSs- paper plant west* of the Mississippi River, and there are few features of it so interesting as those upon the fourth floor. It is there the near-human lino- types are located, one single line of them extending almost the entire depth of the building. It-is there, too, that the pages are assembled and cast into the bent plates whch are sent to the presses. From the fourth floor the visitors were taken to the editorial floor, where the mills of the writers grind. The second, or -circulation, floor was seen in the Surry of sending out the papers, which are sold outside St. Louis, and the press rooms upon the first floor and in the basement were visited when the late edi- tions of the Saturday evenng paper and the early sections of the Sunday paper were printing. Pressroom Is Show Place. The battery of presses in the Post- Dispatch plant is the office show place. Who has not watched those giant and complex machines, fascinated by their i myriad parts and their great mechan- | ical ingenuity? while the pressrooms are the showiest corner in the Post-Dispatch buifding, they were not yesterday the great spectacle in it. This distinction the want ad counters of the business. office, where the ad- vertising men witnessed a crush of pat- ronage which must have opened their eyes to the-.volume of that industry so peculiar to the Post-Dispatch. Want ads fairly dominate the business office on Saturday afternoon and evening, and there is a brief while in which they deluge the composing reom. Having seen the Post-Dispatch build- ing from top to bottom, ‘the visitors were enabled to appreciate, in many b eases for the first time, what a superb plant it is. They were in a position, too, to appreciate the great mechanical capacity necessary to the production of a popular paper like the Post-Dis- patch, the circulation of which is one of the phenomena of American newspaper- dom. An of growth when But this remarkable was given the _ visitors later they went up to the fifth floor to have a cold Weather Bird and a bot- tle of water. The business manager of the Post-Dispatch made for them there a comparative statement of what the illustration paper was and what it is. Thirty-eight vears ago the Dispatch was avery i small newspaper. It had a daily cir- culation of 2000. against the more than a quarter of a million copies of the Post- Dispatch sold now on Sunday alone. At that time, too, the mechanical capacity of the plant Was 3000 four-page papers an hour, against the enormous capacity today of 588,000 four-page papers dn hours srowth Shown by Figures. The teresting comparison was made that whereas the paper had then but a single hand press, there are comprised in its monster machines today 156 sin- gle presses; that while the floor space occupied by the paper then was but! 2600 square feet, that occupied today is 50,000 feet; that against the 12,000 four- page sheets printed then, the paper printed last week 7,517,610 four-page sheets. A striking comparative idea of the Sunday output of the Post-Dispatch to- day was also given. This Sunday, for instance, the presses consume 167 tons of white paper, making 186 rolls or sev- en carloads, and aggregating a sheet of paper 744 milés long, enough to extend from St. Louis to Chicago and return. While the paper had, the day when Mr. Pulitzer acquired it) 27 years ago, none but the most limited facilities for handling the news, the Post-Dispatch has today a news service which has never been equalled by a Western news- paper. It has the service of the Asso- eo lated press, and, through the New York World, 2000 correspondents in every part of the world. This wonderful showing of prog- ress and strength was so inspiriting that it was received by the visitors with quick and sincere applause. Prominent Men Present.

Dr. Barton said at the inquest that a common needle was discovered three- quarters of an inch above the apex of the left ventricle of the heart, and fixed across it with the point upwards and towards the right side. It had evidently entered low down in the front of the heart, near the apex, as the scar was plainly visible in the ven- tricular wall, but no mark could be found in the skin corresponding with the point of entry. The needle was so black that it must have been in the heart a long time. He had been “suffering from heart disease for five years.”’ Death was due to acute delirious ma- nia, consequent on chronic heart dis- ease, and accelerated by the injuries Dr. Parsons had received.

If you are nervous, thin and undeveloped, it is your own fault if you do not remedy all these troubles, for that great French Dr. Vaucaire, who - first prescribed Rue Galega, Laeto Phosphate of Lime, etc., for these troubles, has made it possible for every woman to become vigorous and fully devel- oped. Thousands of grateful women testify to the merits of this prescription, which is put up for general use under the name of Willard White Company's Vaucaire Galega Tablets. Nursing mothers, who cannot supply their children with proper nourishment, will find these tablets of inestimable assistance. Krom the vast number of women who have used or are using Vaucaire’s Galega Tablets and Melorose Beauty Cream, you hear nothing but words of praise. A trial will convince you, but it must be a foir trial, and you must not be impatient; for we do not claim that visible results can be obtained over night, as some competitors would have you believe of their prepara- tions. It takes a reasonable length of time to regulate the system to accomplish what

Nature unassisted has for years refused to do. A few weeks’ treatment, however, will work wonders. We caution you to beware of some Vaucaire -remeding that are being offered by unscrupu- Jous dealers. ‘They do not contain the essen- tial important ingredients. These nostrums @re nauseating, and should not be used. One Hox of tablets more than equals two bottles of any liquid preparation; tablets pleasant to take. MELOROSE BEAUTY CREAM is a great assistance to the tablets. It clears the com- lexion, eradicates pimples, wrinkles, black- eads and all = eruptions. We challenge the world to et uce a cream that equals MELOROSE BEAUTY CREAM, and if you will use this in conjunction with Vaucaire Galega Tablets, made by the Willard White Company, we promise you a well rounded contour, a beautiful bust and a perfect com- plexion—the three things most coveted by every woman. Bear in mind, we do not put up Vaucaire's re 4 form, as our tablets are fn ev $1 per box (3 weeks’ eed $5. CAUTION—See that the name WILLARD WHITE COMPANY is on every box you buy. In this way you will run no risk of being im- posed upon. A large sample box of MELO- ROSE CREAM we gladly send FREE to any pt of a 2c Laetme to cover beautiful box 50c.

Says the People Want Honest Government and Will Get It.

Gov. Frank J. Hanley of Indiana would always choose ‘‘people’’ instead of “politicians’’ if he played the game of “London -Bridge.’’ (Trusting that there are some who still remember the old game, which has naught to do with cards.) Especially of the: ‘people’ were those from “Inda-anna,” his way of pro- nouncing the name of the common- wealth which he governs. He does not believe that the reforms he has brought about ih his State will give him the re- ward that is often that of the reformer —a plage in the outcast list. He passed through St. Louis Friday on his' way home from East St. Louis, where he delivered a lecture before .the East St. Louis High School Literary So- ciety. At the suggestion of the word ‘“out- cast"’ he shook his head vigorously, but his voice became very kind and lost all the. thundering tones used in delivering the lecture. “Wait for the State convention,” he said ‘hopefully, but at the same time Shaking his finger emphatically. ‘The people will rule there, and my work will not be condemned.’’ He made no denial of the fact that men of his party had tried to halt him months ago. “They have said to me, ‘You will ruin the Republican party if you continue your administration in this way,’ and I have replied, ‘My actions are not the kind that -ruin a party, but if your pre- diction is right and the Republican party in the State of Inda-anna is ru:ned by just government, it deserves that ruin,’ Is a Regular “Hoosier.’ “Then they tried a new tack. They Said: ‘You'll ruin your own career. You will give yourself no opportunity for a future,’ and I said: ‘My fore- fatherg gave their lives for their country, ko career can easily be sac- rificed. ‘'d rather’ be the humblest citizen among. good people than the chief executive of a corrupt people.’ ” Gov, Hanly might pose for a statue of “the Hoosier,” and few would’ find fault.- Hig voice is the voice of the Hoosier, a half draw] that gives indi- cations ‘of a tremendous reserve force. He talks witl his hands, his head and his hair as well as his tongue. His head extends out at the poll and his scalplock shakes itself in time with his words. He wears a collar that opens wide in the front, as if he intended that his head should have no restraint when he wished to shake it. He wears no: mustache, ‘his eye- brows are heavy and his face at long distance seems to have the deep wrin- kles of a man who has fought big mental or physica] battles. Seen closely the wrinkles are‘ not so marked and the kindness in his gray- ha eyes gives his face a softet He does not say directly that he is an accident — the Republican par- ty elected unconsciously, ingso- much ag aoe were ignorant of his ideals and his daring.

Soon after the occupants of the home of Policeman Wilson on Cherry street had prepared to retire, he Knocked on the door of the servant, near the kitch- en, and demanded food. He was told to be off, but still persisted, and, as soon as the fact was known in the house, where the ‘officer's mother, wife and daughter were, they became frightened. While the man was seeking admittance a call was sent in, but, just as the po- lice responded, the man escaped in the dark. He was next heard from several nights later at Park place, where he attempted to force an old servant occupying a home during the absence of a family, to prepare a bed for him to spend the night: She gave the alarm, and the po- liceman found a bed torn from its place and arranged on the floor for the in- der.

MaRS, t. K. OY MADE CERTAIN HER DEATH Turned on ree Gas and Took Half an Ounce of Laud- anum,

DIED -IN WEST END HOME

Had Been il With Grip and Worried Over Supposed Financial Troubles.

os “Unable to meet threatened financial difficulties and tired of life, Mrs. Eliza- beth K. Dyer, a widow of 4039 West

Belle place, committed suicide yesterday, making death doubly sure by the use of | gas and laudanum. lLetters to her aged | mother, sister and only son, written the, day before, bidding an affectionate, fare- well, were destroyed. — Mrs. Dyer hag taken exceptional pre- cautions that her intentions should not miscarry, but’ she lingered from early Sdturday morning until 8 o’clock in the: afternoon when she died in the rams of Algernon Dyer, her -son. Mrs. Dyer had for several weeks been severe attack of grip. Two days ago Dr. O. A. Ambrose, the family physician, gave her permisson to leave the house, and she seemed in a happy frame of mind. Mrs. J. McGowan, her mother, had taken care of her boarding house during Mrs. Dyer’s ill- ness, but she took over the management of the large house and apparently was enjoying her return to domestic duties. Friday Mrs. Dyer began acting queer- ly, saying she was tired of life. A sud- den melancholia seemed to have taken hold of her.. Mother, son and sister be- gan to watch her. In the afternoon of that day, she was discovered writing let- ters to her mother and other members of the family, bidding them good-~-by, saying that she was going to die. The letters were torn up and a_ stricter watch instituted. Late in the evening she complained of a severe toothache and ordered an ounce of laudanum and a pound of absorbent cotton from a nearby drug store, €Xx- plaining that she meant to use it for the tooth. She busied herself with bills and other financial matters, sorting out pa- pers and receipts. No attention was paid to this, members of the family as- cribing her work to a desire to again familiarize herself with the running de- tails of the house. About 6 o'clock Saturday morning Mrs. Warren Kinney and Georgia Mc- Gowan, sister of Mrs. Dyer, discov- ered a strong odor of gas and traced it to Mrs. Dyer’s room. FE ntering Mrs. Dyer was found lying on the bed_in her night gown, unconscious. Gas Was pouring from the four gas jets in the room, every crevice of door, window and keyhole .was plugged with the absorbent cotton purchased the night before, and on a table stood the half empty bottle of laudanum. Had Stopped Up Chimney. The women hurriedly summoned Dr. J. W. Vaughan of 4001 West Belle place, who declared Mrs. Dyer to be dying. Dr. Ambrose and Dr. L. W. Ray, who boarded in the house, arrived about the same time, took charge of the case and for half a day kept her alive with artificial respira- tion and saline solutions. To make sure that the gas would do

its.work, Mrs. Dyer had torn’a brick from the grate in her room, wrapped it carefully in cotton and rags, then plugged the‘grate chimney to prevent | ventilation from that source. tips of the gas jets in the room had been knocked completely out, to make sure of a free flow of gas. Mrs. Dyer was a woman of refine- ment and some means. Friends and relatives could. gitve no idea of the financial difficulties which seemed to be worrying her.

Dr. Ambrose, discussing the suicide, Said: “While the deed seemed to have) been premeditated, I cannot help but! ascribe it to temporary aberration of | the mind. Beyond some hinted financial difficulties. I know of no reason for her action. FI would certainivy have had some inkling if there had been any other reason, as I have been Mrs. Dyer'’s family phy sician for the past Six or seven years, and in that time have known her intimately. .To the best of my knowledge, there was no love affair behind the deed.’ Dr. Ambrose immediately notified the Coroner's office and an inquest will be held Monday.

DEMOCRATIC FUN ERAL. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 31.—~ “When I am dead and ready to be laid away in the long, last sleep, I want to be buried in a plain, rough coffin ecov- ered with hickory bark. I have beén a Democrat all my life, and I want men egal , been lifelong Democrats ‘to ] be pallbearers. “Tt is my request that John A. Hart- man say what he can about what hag been good in me during my lifetime.’ The above was the request made by Jacob Martin, a pioneer of St. Joseph County, just before he died. Martin explained that he realized he was near- ing the end of his life, and that as he was firmly determined on his funeral arrangements, he wanted them _ pub- lished now in order that they would be

There in the center of the busiest block on Broadway was the famous bul- letin board, newer, brighter and bigger than ever, using all the blandishments of white paint and red stripings to catch the attention of passers-by. There it was blazoning to all the world the names of 16 ball teams which will represent 11 progressive American cities during the coming summer. What witchery there w@s in those names, what. power to put lead in the soles of the messenger boy’s shoes and cause “father’’ to halt in his tracks as he hurried home from work. Even though it was the first bright day of the year, who would dig a gar- den or build a henhouse when by stand- ing on the curb an hour or two he could learn the outcome of a game of ball? What joy it was to watch the filling of those little square holes in the bulletin board. Almost Heard the. Chug,.

The crowd which watched the board almost blocked traffic on the west side of Broadway, while the game was in progress. Boys sat on fire plug posts and hung on window sills and men shiy- ered in doorways and along the curb- stone. For a long time there was nothing to look at, into view it repaid the long and wearisome wait. There one mighty shout and the sidewalk fans hurried away to catch their cars.

Thousands of spring lambs have died ' of exposure to the cold and damp where shelter could not be provided for them. The indications are that the losses among lambs is heavier this spring than for many years, a single farmer in Boone County losing over 100. There is also much pneumonia among calves throughout the State. : State Veterinarian Dr. D. F. Luckey, after investigation, reports that there is no evidence of a contagious disease to account for the remarkable extent of the losses. | The report of agriculture will say that much fodder and hay has been damaged by the wet weather and that the poor quality; of food may be partly respon- _ Bible for the unfavorable condition of livestock. A further investigation of the; trouble‘is being made by the State veterinary department. —_ ‘Cicero Said: “It is a mark of great wisdom to take pre- : cautions against re- verses of fortune” — — —— Such precautions, for instance, as ‘Buuing a Bit of Real Estate Now and then, while able to do so. a Do Not Let Yourself Over- look the Real Estate Ads In Today’s ‘A ‘Want Directory. i mc YEARS, MR. AND MRS. ALBERT A. AAL, MARRIED 25 WILL CELEBRATE TUESDAY NIGHT Mr anp Mrs LBERTA. AAL ALBERT A. AAL PLANS » GREAT CELEBRATION OF SILVER W EDDING Albert A. Aal, “first in peace, first in war and first in the city directory,” has tnvited so many friends to the cele- bration of his twenty-fifth wedding an- niversary at his residence, 4218 Wash- ington boulevard, next Tuesday evening, that only half the n&mber can be seated at the supper table at one time. But Mr. Aal only laughs at this fact. “I’ve provided a musical-and specialty entertainment for the 80 who wait until the second table,’’ n& explains. ‘‘They’ll have the time of their lives while they wait.’’ : And those who know the jovial host of what promises to be an entertain- ment unique in the social history of St. Louis will readily believe the statement. Long years ago, before Mr. Aal went into business and became.the head of a big establishment of his own, he was a member of the famous San Francisco Minstrels, under thé stage name of Ber- nard, and he’s got the gentle art of en- tertaining down to the finest of fine points. “Took here, my dear,’’ he said to his wife, who, until April 3, 1881, was Miss One-Hundred and Sixty Guests From All Over Attend Unique Function Tuesday Night—Cloak Man ' Will Do Minstrel Stunt.

I pro- pose to celebrate it with the biggest and most novel blowout St. Louis ever heard of. Are you with me?” Mrs. Aal said she was, and Mr. Aal at once set \about arranging for the cele- bration. He invited 160 guests, the num- ber including all of the “Old Guard’’ of the cloak trade in this country, the offi- cers of the National Cloak Association, the employes of the Albert A.Aal Cloak Co. and certain friends and relatives of the celebrants. He Pays Train Fare, Some of the “Old Guard” representa- tives of the cloak trade have not pros- pered as greatly as others, and several wrote to Mr. Aal that they, would be glad to come to his wedding anniversary celebration, but that they couldn’t af- ford the traveling expenses and, also, they regretted that they would be un- able to make him and Mrs. Aal a suita- ble present. “All right,’ said Mr. Aal in reply.

Wherefore it happens that the Aal invitations to the celebration announce that “no presents but your ‘own pres- ence’ are expected, but, all the same, there have been some handsome ones given. One from the officers of the Na- tional Cloak Association, who will con- stitute the official reception committee at Mr. Aal’s house, consists of the larg- est set of silverware ever made by the Gorham Co. of New York. Another, from Mr, Aal’s own employes, is an im- mense cut-glass punchbowl with a solid P silver ladle, When the guests arrive at the Aal residence next Tuesday night they will find Mr. Aal wearing a tremendous rosette bearing the legend, ‘“‘The Groom —A Little Disfigured, but Still in the Ring,’’ and Mrs. Aal wearing one equally large, upon which is inscribed: ‘The Bride—Like Wine, the Older the Bet- ter.”’ Operatic Stars to Sing. “We're getting on the sunset slope of life’s hill, my dear,’’ says Mr; Aal to Mrs. Aa2l, “but you and I are going: to have the best time of all our lives at this twenty-fifth anniversary!’’ And it looks very much that way. Several operatic stars are to be brought from New York to sing at the Aal cele- bration, there will also be two bands of music, a string quintet from the New York Symphony Orchestra, a cello solo- ist, a mandolin band of 20 pieces, a vo- cal quartet, a special group of’ vaude- ville stars sent from the Keith circuit in compliment to Mr. Aal; Mooratta, the legerdemain wizard, Maj. Kaye, the ventriloquist, and Miss Shalek of the De Wolf Hopper ‘‘Happyland’’ Co., who is a niece of Mr. Aal’s. Rebman is the caterer, Ostertag the florist, and Direc- tor Benjamin of the Olympic Theater orchestra has general charge of the music. Then, also, Mr. Aal has sent to New Orleans for the celebrated old negro, Erastus Wilson—‘‘Uncle’ Rastus’’—fa- mous throughout the South as the best brewer of old-fashioned punch in the United States, and “‘Uncle Rastus” will preside at the punch bowl, which will be filled with punch of his:own brewing. Mr. Aal Will’ Sing. And best of all, at 10 o’clock on that joyous evening, Rabbi Leon Harrison will preside at a repetition of the mar- riage service by which Mr. and Mrs.;Aal were made husband and wife a quarter of-a century ago. ‘“‘You can’t have’ too much of a good thing,’’ says Mr. Aal, and Mrs. Aal nods her head in quick agreement with this sentiment. The guests present will include promi- nent cloak men from all the large Amer- ican cities. In addition, Mr. Aal’s eld- est son, Joseph, 24 years old, accompa- nied by his. wife, will come from San Francisco, where he is in the service of the United States Navy Department, and Mr. Aal’s four other children will be present. There are just three years difference in the ages of each—Joseph, 24; Jeanette, 21; Ralph, 18; Burni, 15, and Dorothy, 12, and four of the five were born on St. Valentine’s Day. A special automobile corps has been engaged by Mr. Aal to take his guests to their various homes or hotels when the entertainment reaches its close. “They can come when they want to and stay as long as they want to,” says Mr. Aal. “And some time during the evening I’m going to do a ‘little spe- cialty stunt of my own by singing some of Albert Chevalier’s coster songs for thier entertainment. _I used to sing in minstrelsy, you know, and I’ve got a tenor voice now that’d make Caruso look like 30 cents.”’ LOADED VAN ON HME IN STREET Loss of Furniture Creates Un- usual Point in Legal Annals, The hardest legal proposition that ever confronted Needham C. Collier forced itself upon him yesterday after- noon. His puzzle igs an insurance prob- lem. All.of Mr. Collier’s goods and chattels were loaded in the big moving Vans of Langan & Taylor, and Mr. Collier and his family were riding in the street cars from their old home at 4124 Delmar boulevard to their new home at 4236 Cleveland avenue. Jack Rhodes was driving one of the wagons placidly enough along Tower Grove avenue, and was wondering whether the Ravens or the Cardinals were ahead.. A Vandeventer car passed and the motorman observed smoke and flames coming: from the rear of the wagon, and he called to the driver. Rhodes looked around to see where the fire was, and people from all dtgections ran to see the strange sight. E*? N. Goyer drew his jackknife and cut the rope that held | the furniture in the rear and began sav- ing. the property. Willlam Dikennery turned in a fire alarm and soon the fire- men had a stream directed on the blaz- ing van. The fire was eventually extinguished and the contents were set out on the street. There were several feather beds in the van and the fire destroyed the ticks. The feathers freed were taken up by the March breezes and were wafted hither and thither all over south- western St. Louls. W. O. Langan of the was summoned by telephone. His in- vestigation Satisfied him that the fire was started by matches that had been left in a dresser drawer, and had in some way become ignited. The van was damaged $200. Mr. Collier could not estimate his loss. Suggestions for Advertising. Suggestions of the best mode of adver- tising St. Louis will be received by the Million Population Club up to Friday evening, April 6, at which Eime the ex- ecutive committee will take the different schemes under advisement.

IcBRIDE’S MUFF OSES FOR CARDINALS a. » = ortunate Error on An Easy Pop Fly iGives the Ravens the Only and Winning Run of the First Game Played for the Championship of St. Louis. = Umpire Klemm's debatable declaration of Hemphill’s safety at first base, a steal of second by the fortunate player, a poor throw by Grady and a piteous muff of Wallace’s puny pop fiy by Shortstop McBride gave the Ravens é Only and winning run over the Cardinals at sine: sates Park /yesterday afternoon. Score, 1-0. ; All this occured in the last half of the eighth ifining. To shat time neither team had scored. Koehler went out. Hemphill made a perfect bunt. Taylor fielded it beautifully. From the stand the ball seemed to get to | Beckley before the runner reached the bag. Mr. Klemm, right on'the spot _ @eclared Hemphill safe. Hemphill forwith stole second. Grady threw very stiffly. reached Perrine on a‘ long bound. Taylor then struck O’Brien, who had been hitting hard; out on called balls. Wallace lifted the tiniest sort of a pop fly to McBride. The previous inning that fieldes had made a wonder- ful catch off Stone's short. fly over short. But he let this pitiful little lob of Wallace’s hit the end of his glove and drop. Hemphill scored. It was a record-breaking muff. Then Jones and Hartzell hit hard and safely, filling the bases. Spencer drove a hard liner straight at McBride, who muffed again. He recovered the ball and threw Hartzell out at second. This ended the inning. After Smoot and Beckley were gone in the ninth, Arndt hit safely through Waljace. Spencer caught him stealing and the game was over. TAYLOR OUTPITCHED HOWELL. Taylor i ched steadier, speedier and more effective ball than Howell and deserved to win. Howell was hit harder—mostly long flies, however— and was much wilder than the Cardinal crack. Taylor,was superb in tight places. Howell was pulled out of his holes by fielding and rare good fortune. The game was almost absolutely devoid of clean, safe hitting. Discount- ing the hits made by Hartzell and Jones in the mix-up after McBride’s muff in the eighth inning the teams made three hits /each. Oe of the Cardinal safeties, the hardest drive of the day, came to. Smoot after Wallace's mis- take on a foul fiy had given that batter a life in the third inning. Shannon got a clean driye past Wallace in the sixth and Arndt drove one past the shortstop, with two out in the ninth. Taylor and Arndt, however, gave Stone two long hard runs.for drives that meant triples if they got away. On the Raven side Dunleavy cleverly secured two huge flies from the bat of O’Brien. McBride’s wonderful catch of Stone’s short fly in the sixth was praisworthy. Yet it may be truly said that, as far as true hitting went, there was really not any of it. So weak was the hitting and effective the pitching, the teams might have been struggling still but for the combination of unhappy circumstances —Kel Klemm’s close decision, Grady’s low throw and McBride’s unfortunate muff—relieved the situation and created a winner and a loser. ¢ CARDINAL FIELDING LOOSE. Tho Cardinal fielding was very loose. Shannon made a sickerfing muff of Koehler’s rocketer in the very first inhing. Smoot straightway followed suit with a laughable drop of O’Bren’s easy fiy. Both fielders were camped under these easy balls. Perrine was a bit slovenly, though not culpable. There was very little infield work on either side. |The ee catchers, first-basemen and outfielders did most of. the work. ® Taylor’s intrepid pitching was the most striking feature of the contest.

His playing was admirable in its physical efficiency, perfect judgment and superb respondance to vital demands. Upon not less than six occasions did he retire the side by sheer power of fair pitching when a hit meant a run. His retiral of Koehler and Hemphill, sixth inning, was beyond praise. when Howell was on third base in the Howell pitched creditably, but was fortunate. He was unsteady at times. The only situation, worthy of special comment, inning. Howell, with two strikes and one ball on him, Stone sacrificed him to third. out after-being in the hole three balls and one strike. the left field fence. with a weak grounder to Beckley. RAVENS.

If Jones plays his game and Koehler hits, McAleer will have a team deuced- ly deadly to deal with. Powell, How- ell, Glade and Pelty, with Smith and Jacobson to help, make a good pitching staff, and O’Connor, Spencer and Rickey seem to be inferior to none. One Qld catcher and two young ones make a nice receiving department. O'Connor kept the boys on their toes yesterday. There was more noise and coaching during the one afternoon than during the entire season of 1906. Jones is swinging well and meeting the ball hard. He will get hits, for he is going after then right.

Some seven thousand per- sons packed the bleachers. The coy- ered stands were not overgrowded, as sunshine and more pleasant than shade. it was a discerning, discriminating con- gregation. It watched the play with keen and appreciative eyes, missed nono of the inside points and was sharp and accentuated in its applause. It was not bitterly, blindly and foolishly partisan, nor inclined to abuse or applaud indis- criminately. Such crowds deserve keen, true baseball. They appreciate it. Howell did not have good control] of -his cuspidof shoot. Spencer did some g00d backstopping on wild pitches.

LIPTON CHALLENGE WITH KEW DESIGHER Watson and Fife Dropped and Selected to Design a Challenger. Special can to the Post-Dispatch and New York agp LONDON, March 31.--A dis spatch from the Greenock correspondent of Post-Dispatc h -‘announecs on unim- peachable, authority that Sir. Thomas Lipton has instructed Alfred Myline of Glasgow to begin immediately on a de- sign for a yacht which will challenge for the American Cup in 1907. The se- lection of Myline is a decided snub to both Fife and Watson. It is known beyond any question that Lipton was more dissatisfied with Shamrock III than he was with either of the previous challengers. He is going to a man who has a great reputation for adaptation of new ideas and of greater assimilative qualities than either Watson or Fife. Sir Thomas is npw cruising in eo Mediterranean.

imme. Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dis- patch to Athens and Entered in the Discus Throwing Contest at the Olympic Games. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 31.—On Tuesday at 11 a. m. the American team sails for historic Athens. The athletes are on edge. All the minor details are being cleared up by the managers. Making preparation for such a trip as this is no joke. Picking the men, arranging transportation, training, everything else, is like organizing and whipping into shape an army for a campaign. Today most of us are already in New York, the others are all on the way and have been keeping in touch with the manager by telegraph. Daniels of New York and Schwarz of St. Louis, the crack swimmers, left to- day on the steamer New York. They will stop in Paris and swim there for a couple of days, then take train down to Naples, where they will swim some more, and then catch a steamer that will land them in Athens on the 16h, two or three days before we arrive. Swimming is a hard sport. The run- ners may be able to run well after be- ing on the ocean for two, weeks and ashore only a couple of days. They can trot up and down decks if they feel the necessity for more exercise. But with the swimmers it is different, There is nothing larger than a bathtub aboard for their accommodation. They need to train right up to the day of the race like fighters going into a gruelling contest. So the manoger sent Schwarz on ahead give for a few days in the water. Athletes Sail Tuesday. The rest of the athletes will go in a body. ‘Our athletic belongings are to be placed aboard the Barbarossa early Tuesday morning. At 5 o'clock Mon- day afternoon the American team will be assembled at the New York Athletic Club. The athletes have come from all parts of t country. They know each other only by reput tation. It will be geod for them to become acqua@inted tea: going to Mecting like this will really organize the tearm for the first timies and, besides that, it is necessary for each and every man to understand all about being aboard the Barb: on time. Some of the local men had troubie in getting away from their buginess. It was thought that Martin Sheridan Sul- livan of the I. A. A. C. and Billy Frank would be unable to make (ge trip. There was some trouble,\but it seems to have been all smoothed over. Sulli- van and Frank have made all arrange- ments. In regard to the members of the team who are employed in one capacity or another by municipalities and who have volunteered to give their time and ef- forte to the cucoune of this venture, a movement is one foot that will be ap- proved by every p&tricetic man. It is proposed to bring up a motion in the next meeting of the New York Board of Aldermen on Tuesday providing that thetr positions shall not be declared va- cant during their absence; in other words, their salaries will’ not be cut off. This was done during” the late war with Spain in the case of city employes who volunteered and went to the front. That such a thing is contemplated now shows how the American people—and especially those who live in New York— have risen to the idea that thie athletic campaign is an event of national dni- portance. Moulton on Hand, Ot the Western athietes, Moulton, the great sprinter and middle distance run- ner, has been in town for several days, training with Prinstein.

SCOTT CITY, Kan., March 31.—A jury in the Scott County District Court has decided a forgery case of unusual inter- est to bankers and business men gener- ally, The facts as brought out ‘by t the evidence are as follows: — In June, 1904, B. Vogell, an old resi- dent of this county, desiring to visit friends and relatives in some Eastern siates, called at the First State Bank in this-city to inquire ae to the best means of carrying money with him on his trip. The cashier, R. B. Christy, is- sued him «# letter of credit to the amount of $400, as that was the amount he desired to use, although he had on deposit at that time something over $4000. With the letter of credit he took a book of blank checks. Some weeks after his departure the bank cashed a check for $100 written upon one of their own checks in Mr. Vogeli’s handwriting, and which was received through their IKxansas City correspondent. Big Check Appears. Some days later they received a tele- gram from Kansas City, wanting to know if Volegi’s check for $1800 would be honored. An affirmative reply was sent and in a few days a check for $1800, bearing Mr. Vogeli’s signature, was re- ceived and cashed unhesitatingly. This check was drawn upon a blank of the American National Bank of Kansas City and the body of the check was in a different handwriting. It was drawn payable to J. O. Montgomery, and had been cashed by the: Fidelity Trust Co., and indorsed to the American National, which institution forwarded the check direct to the local bank. Shortly after, Mr. Vogeli returned and wus astonished to find his bank deposit smaller by $1800 than it should be. Up- the check for that amount he declared that he had never signed such a paper. The bank proffered their as- sistance in finding the forger and did present the matter to _ the American Mankers’ Association, who employed de- tectives to aid in the search, but noth- ing came of the matter. Wrote Name in Book. Mr. Vogeli then recalled that, while waiting on the platform of a depot in Sedalia, Mo., he had conversed with a stranger, who represented himself to be the agent of a Pennsylvania seed house, introducing a new species of seed wheat. In the conversa- tion, the stranger learned where Mr. Vogeli lived and that he was a farmer and had recently sold his farm and had not ‘yet reinvested the proceeds. He then desired that Mr. Vogeli write his name and address in a small memoran- dum book with a fountain pen, for the purpose of sending him a sample bushel of the seed wheat. After obtaining the signature, the polite« stranger disap- peured. On the following day the local Ban wait bank received the telegram of inquiry. ° 2 / brought suit against the After waiting in vain for the bank and detectives to assist him, Mr. Vogell bank. The trial dasted three days, and was stub- _bogpniy contested, many bank cashiers oe ad handwriting experts being used as witnesses The jury found that the signature was genuine, but that the check . was... a forgery, and bore sufficient evidence on its face to put the nk on inquiry be- fore cashing it, and rendered a verdict in favor of Mr. Vogeli for the full amount of the check, with interest. The case will undoubtedly be appealed.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEWPORT, Ky., March 31.—Common- wealth’s Attorney W. A. Burkamp of Newport has secured from William BE. Monroe Sr. an affidavit in which as a juror in three cases, he admits that he had ‘been bribed. He swears that he fot $25 in one case and $45 in another. A judgment in one case was secured for $21,000. The defendant in the second case got off free. Monroe swears that he was bribed by one representing the win- ning side in both cases. The affidavit implicates a damage suit lawyer, a former Cambell County offi- cial, a present official of the county and five others. For two years the members of the Campbell County bar have been morally certain that juries have been packed, jurors bribed and the grand jury tampered with. It is understood warrants will be is- sued against prominent men and dis- barment proceedings will be begun against members of the bar. There will be a special session of the grand jury at the demand of*Mr. Bur- kamp to investigate the charges.

Pantomine of Cigarette Making by a W. C. T. U. Leader, Special to the Post-Dispatch. MURFREESBORO, Tenn., March 31. —Mrs. Nannie Curtis, the Texas advo- cate of the Woman’s Christian’ Temper- ance Union, delivered a most interesting lecture in the Methodist Episcopal Comech here, her gubject being ‘‘Mo- oc. Her illustration of the motions of a young man making a cigarette was par- ticularly fine, showing how he takes a little book from ‘his. vest pocket, ex- tracts a leaf, replaces the book, takes the leaf between his thumb and. and yellow-streaked index finger of his left hand, creases it a bit, takes a package of tobacco from his outside coat pocket. sprinkles a portion of the contents in the creased paper, takes the draw- string of his tobacco bag between his teeth, tightens, it, returng the package to his pocket, rolls the cigarette, runs his tongue along the outer edge of the wrapper ‘“‘to make it stick,’’ and then puts one end in his mouth and the other in a flame. Bankers and all first-class business men, She said, have ruled out the cig- arette fiend. In conclusion she warned the young women, there;being a large number present from Soule College, to beware of young men who have yellow- streaked fingers and who carry a pack- age in their outside coat pocket with *| vellow tag hanging out.

Re- membering that they had locked the, they suspected trouble. Ide heard a noise in the house. He told his wife to stay in the front yard while he would wait in the back, so that the burglar, whorh he suspected to be making the noise, could not es- cape. As Mrs. Ide stood near the porch she saw a masked man come through the window, but before she could call her husband the man jumped and ran toward the street. A wild chase ensued, in which most of the neighborhood joined. Ide followed closely on the criminal’s heels with a revolver. The man was tracked to Spring and Cook streets, where he en- tered a yard and, jumping a back fence, disappeared. .

ROSEBURG, Ore., March 31.—A stranger deliberately smashed a. large plateglass window in the Douglas Coun- ty Bank with a rock.

Sherif’ McClallen and a posse searched all night, but were unable to locate the man.

My first invention was the electric fan, just as it is run all over this country in hot weather. I didn’t get a patent on it, but see what a tremendous success it is4 ; I next invented the Trolley Car System, just as it is-run to- day. I made it perfect and successful right from the start. It has never been improved since I invented it. Look at the millions of money,it has made for the stockholders. The stock in the trolley 1894. Poor men could buy that stock then. Thousands of them did buy it, and everyone who held on to it is a rich man today. ‘No Man on Earth Ever Lost a Penny He ) Invested With Me. If so I will make it good. Next I invented the Railway Car Telephone system. It is a system by which passengers or train erews can telephone from still or moving cars anywhere the same as if seated in an office. It is a more perfect system in operation than any other telephone you ever saw. This is on the road to- ward millions for the stockholders. This Is My Greatest Invention. Now I have invented something bigger and greater than either of the above. It is called the Bidwell Cold Motor. It is guaranteed not to burn out, and is exactly the kind of a motor the steam railroad people have been looking for. It will change a!l the steam railroad systems over to electric roads, because it will be cheaper to run than steam and can be run faster and more safely than any present method. The one drawback the raiiroads have had in changing over to electricity has been that no motor as at present made can he run 150 miles at 60 miles-an hour without burning out. It would melt the very wires. By using the Bidwell Cold Motor a train of cars could-be run from New York to San Francisco without a stop at the rate of 60

or 80 miles an hour and not even warm up and without a hitch. would be more safe and sure than steam, cost less to operate and

Hence the embittered action of ex- perience and its conflict with the con- ventional saws which are stuffed into the heads of the young to guard them against the temptations they must en- counter. The want of charity that prevalts tn human communities when there is any kicking over these traces must induce narrowness of mind, the offspring of which is fretful or a harsh temper, ei- ther of which is a preventive of longev- ity. The religious sentiment, when con- trolled by good sense, has an opposite effect, and makes for serenity and a true view of the joys and sorrows of life. Without that control it curtails life. Religious firebrands and fanatics (happily) die early. In addition to tne cited by Flourens, Dr. La Salle gives a long list. Some of them take one's breath . away. For. instance: Peter Czortan, who died recently at Temes- var in Hungary, at the age of 183, and an old; man (name not mentioned) who has just turned his 200th vear in an asy- lum at Pulsk. He still shows a pass- port given to him in 1763. He had at- tained the age of 82 in 1824 when he lost his eldest son, who had. lived to the age of 59, and he buried his wife in his 120d year. Chevreuil, who had a grand torchligh ovation at the 1889 Iniversal Exhibi- tion, had entered his 108d vear.

Then she turned north to Lake Nyassa, which she crossed. In November she arrived in German East Africa, and then crossed unknown territory, where no white man or*’woman had ever be- fore set foot, to Lake Victoria Nyanza. This took her 28 days and only twice did she see a European. Her escort consisted of two native soldiers belonging to a German regiment and a few native carriers. The natives she met were friendly and brought her bananas, goat milk and Salt. The wild animals she saw Included al- most every species of the country, and being an excellent markswoman,. she had no difficulty in securing food. Her next goal was Uganda, where she found the youthfal King playing foot- ball. He received her with truly Eurv- pean courtesy, and set her on her way to Khartoum. . ne a creme eee ~— “LITTLE DORRIT” TALKS OF DICKENS. Special Cable of the Post-Dispatch and New York World.

“TERMINAL EXPERT ~ BLAMES CONGESTION © ON SLOW UNLOADING! a ce, em

Robert Moore, engineer for the Mu- nicipal Bridge and Terminals Commis-| sion, which has a plan for the railroads to build a four-track suspension bridge at the foot of Poplar street and the city to take over Eads Bridge, outlined he advantages of the project and dis- cussed in detail the engineering feat- ures of the entire terminal and bridge situation with a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday afternoon. | ‘In speaking of the engineering feat- ures of the terminal problems in St. Louis,”’ said Mr. Moore, “I do not wish to’ be understood as saying anything for the Terminal Commission. I have made reports on findings of mine which the commission will act upon as it sees fit, and give the results to the public at the proper time. There are certain phases of the-qdhysical situation here, however, which are apparent to anyone who cares to make a scientific study.’’ Mr. Moore reduces all the evils of present conditions under three heads— the present bridge and tunnel, the wasteful system of the railroads in han- dling freight in the/St. Louis yards, and the lack of system in getting freight from unloading stations to dealers. “One of the most apperent evjls,’’ said Mr. Moore, “is the method us by the railroad in handling freight in the yards here. A carload of coal is run into St. Louis. It is switched‘off on a siding in one of tho yards. The coal dealer takes possession cf the car. He takes coal out of the car at about the rate he sells it to his customers, using the car as a storage house. It may be a week before the coal is taken out of the car and the car switched back on the main Mne and put again into service. Car Eight Days in Yard. “I have been informed that when a freight car leaves East St. Louis for St. Lous it will be about eight or ten days before it gets back to East St. Louis. You can imagine how congested the yards become and why «there is so much talk about more yarils and terminal facilities. I belieye the railroads should have more yard room. But at the same time they can alleviate the condition themselves by putting intd effect a sens!- ble system. “There is a very excellent scheme by which coal cars instead of being run Robert Moore, Who Has Studied Problem for Municipal Commis- sion, Says Trouble Is Due as Much to Bad System as to Lack of Trackage—Suggests Remedies Other Cities Have Found Effective. engraved drawing of the biggest city in the world. There were a score of red spots on the map about the size of a Scent piece, scattered over the map. Then there were several ‘hundred little red dots clustering around the others. “You see these larger spots are all along the different railroad. running through London. They are freight sta- tions. These gmaller spots are ~sub- freight stations, which are not on the line of the railroads. “The idea is that the railroads over there treat their freight just as the ex- press companies here typat expTress packages. “When your freight arrives at one of the main freight stations the railroad doesn’t allow it to congest matters, but hustles it off immediately to the sub- freight station nearest your store or factory. Im this way there is no con- gestion. Moreover, there is almost a complete absence of delay, for the rail- road companies, under this system, are held responsible for any delays. “Not only do they deliver the freight in this systematic manner, but tney send it for you the same way; call for it at your store, take it to the sub- station and from there immediately to the main station. As a result you can ship freight in London at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and it will reach Glas- zOoOw—over 300 miles away—and be deliv- ered to the shopkeeper there before he has opened the shutters of his shop the next morning. ‘““Amother scheme for disposing of freight after it has been unloaded by freight cars is the system of under- ground tunnels outlined by Mayor Wells. A short time ago I made a trip through the Chicago tunnels. These tunnels are very sma...

The run of sheep at the Western mar- kets was 219,000 head, against 195,900. Receipts at St.’ Louis continue light— only 6965 head. The condition of trade remains about the same, lambs: gen- erally constituting, the supply, selling a little slow, but at steady prices. good proporition of the receipts were brought in by local slaughterers. Two double decks of Colorado lambs, av- eraging 77 pounds, sould at $6.50, two double decks, 64-pound Western lambs went at %. These .prices are considered steady with the close of the week béfore. A- good demand prevails for some good fat mutton sheep. New York Stock Quotations. meported daily for the Post-Dispatch by D. RB. Francis, Bro. & we, 214 North Fourth st. NEW YORK, Mares 31.

SENTIMENT] SLOWLY IMPROVES Wall Street Takes More Cheer- ful View of Coal Strike Situation, LOCAL STOCK STEADY —

! Railways Common Crosses An- other Record Figure Dur- ing the Week, Speculative sentiment underwént a | Change for the better during the past week and in spite of the uncertainties of the market situation prices showed good advances all along the line. Lrading generally, anu justiy, took a ' more optimistic view of the labor situa- tion, owing to the growth of tne peuuef ' that the coal companies are in a posi-

with the} tion to work off enormous surplus stocks of coal at advantageous prices if strike is declared, which would mate- rially offset the enormous losses fol- lowing a long period of. idleness at the mines, and that the possible opera- tion of the mines in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois controlled by F. Rob- bins, even if a generai strike is de+- clared, would so weaken thé miners’ po- sition as to cause general dissatisfac- tion among them and an early return to work. Even if a general walkout does take place, it is a queStion whether the ad- verse effect on the industries most dli- rectly alfécted will be as severe ag i8 generally believed, owing to the pre- parations that have been made for just such a contingency, and from a stock market standpoint it is exceeding hke- ly that the stmke situation has. been pretty well discounted. The money situation remains the sec- ond factor of importance to stock mar- ket followers, and although a moderate flurry in call rates occurred over the last few days of the week, the indica- tions are that credits have adjusted themselves so as to permit of a further recovery in stock values. The April disbursements which were the cause of the late-rise in cail rates were unusually heavy and much of this

money, should find its way into the in- vestment markets, Foreign money markets are also work- ing into a position where. additional gold imports may be looked forward to, although the settlement of the Mo- rocean controversy will no doubt be quickly followed by the floatation of a large loan . by both Russia and France. A large amount of funds will, how- ever, be loosened up, which have been held by foreign banking interests in, anticipation of adverse foreign po- jitical developments. These should assure easy money abroad for some time to come, Other Factors. Other factors in the situation are in- dicative bf high. prices for some time to come, General business healthy plane, and with the exception of certain branches of the steel and iron industry, which are slack on fear of a strike in the coal fields, no fall- ing off in volume is noticeable. Railroad earnings are showing ex- cellent increases in both the gross and net results over the returns sub- mitted for the same period one year ago, and the February statement of the Rock Island showing a net in- crease Of $978,825, was one of the most favorable ever issued by the company. The winter wheat crop gives high promise of an abundant yield, and un- less an adverse change in the situa- tion takes place, assures to the ter- ritory interested a continuation of the present prosperity for another year to come. The wave of legislative reform sweep- ing the country shows no signs of sub- continues on a

FEELING IN WHEAT STILL BEARISH \ + Generally Poor Domestic and Foreign Demands Dominat- ing Influences,

OTHER GRAINS FIRM

Weather Poor for Movement of Corn—Good Dry Grain Is Scarce, The wheat market continued to show weakness during the week, although trade in all speculative centers was ight. There was little if any news on which to bull prices, and the profession- ais are still forcing the declining side: The technical position of the wheat market would seem, however, to be'a strong one, when the enormous decline that prices have had in the last few months is taken into consideration and it is remembered that an enormous short interest must be outstanding in all futures. Domestic conditions, while remaining highly favorable for low values, might easlly undergo a sudden change, espe- cially as much -of the recent decline has been based on favorable reports from the winter wheat section, where the grain has. hardly started in its growth. Already reports of too much moisture are coming to hand, and unless a change in the weather takes place very shortly crop damage reports may mul- tiply rapidly. Foreign conditions hold little encour- agement for the bulls, and domestic ex- porters have not betn able to meet competitive prices abroad in sufficient volume to permit of heavy exports. A realization, however, that prices have reached 4a point where speculative ac- cumulation may be expected, would no doubt quickly cause good foreign buy- ing in our markets, foypboth present and future needs. Argentine news’ continues favorable, and shipments from ‘that country are moderately heavy. The week’s figures eaten 3,616,000 bu. of wheat, against 3,824,000: last ‘week; 2,616,000 bu last year and 3,282,000 bu two years ago. Ship- ments since Jan. 1 to date were 33,812,000 bu, against 38,879,000 bu last year. Corn shipments for the week were 220,000 bu, against 98,000 bu last week, 120,000 bu last year and 197,000 bu two years ago. Shipments of corn since. Jan. 1 to date were 3,722,000 bu, against 8,163,000 ‘bu for the Bame period last vear. ' Northwestern receipts show signs of lessening and stocks of wheat at Minne- 1polis increased only 46,000 bu for the and a preceding *heavy increase of 800,- 000 bu. Minneapolis millers express be- lief in decreasing stocks from now on. corn market continues. very , in spite-of the easy tendency in The technical position of corn is strong. Receipts are light and the weather decidedly against the move- ment. Domestic and @xport demands continue good and some @ash houses report it almost impossible to obtain good dry corn in the country. Foreign houses have been good buyers of this grain during the last week. Oats were firm throughout, in sympathy with corn. Domestic and export demands continue good. Curb Market Quotations.

It is pointed our that no physician capable of recog- nizing vellow tever and diagnosing the disease jin its first stages will be willing to quit his practice for six months. for such a sum, and that the salary allow- ance ought to be at least doubled in or- der to secure a thoroughly competent man for the place ITALIAN PREMIER PROUD OF IGNORANCE, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Worid.

All administrations might say the same, but unfortunately there is no. consensus of opinion in any country as to what is in the interests of the country.

When the sea is calm, with a light wind blowing just enough to ripple the surface, the location and line of direction of the oil veins can be plainly seen.

The veins in a series never unite or cross. one another, but, like the arteries and veins in the human -body, each, vein and each series of veins maintains its individuality and general character- istics throughout its length» There are few instances where two series ynite in one or one divides into two, as the case may be. In either case the branches retain the same number of veins and the general: characteristics of the parent series. Thus, near Rochester, N. Y., a very rich sys- tem of veins divides into two branches, the forks extending in a southern direction. Where the two Oil veins are largest and richest where they turn in curves or elbows. The richest wells are located over such turns. This may be easily illustrated by a stream of water, which is always widest in its turns, if traversing soil. A feature of the subveins is that they correspond in number with the number of veins in a series ‘of which it forms a part. That is, if the number of veins in a series is nine, the number of subveins in a compound vein in that series will either be nine or a multiple of nine. remarkable If the series numbers five or six, the number of sub-, veins will correspondingly be five or six or a mul- tiple of those numbers.

Likewise, if the number of veins in the series is five or six, etc., the fives or sixes, etc., will be found correspondingly wide and _ rich. Mr. Wilson anticipates the reader’s curiosity to know if the supply of petroleum oil is not soen to be exhausted. He is somewhat optimistic. “Somewhere in nature’s great laboratories,” he says, “the process of reconversion of carboniferous rocks and minerals into gas and oil is going on, generating a perpetual renewal of the supply, to again find its way into of such subveins

So he contends that a new monument should be in- scribed, still more simply than the present one, with Johnston and was with latter’s death. But it is not tuke in O’Hara’s title that Mr. for Sidney movemert another monument poet. bered, rather these lines:

Theodore O’Hara, Author of “The Bivouac of the Dead.”

Althougl: the fame of O’Hara’s wonderful requiem is world-wide and its peauty and strength every- where recognize], few people are familiar with the life and history of O'Hara. He was born Feb. 11, 1820, at Danville. Both his parents were Irish and his father, Kana O’Hara, was an educator, well known in the history of Kentucky, who, in his earlier life, had been with Lord Edward Fitzgerald in his fight for Irish freedom. Shortly after Theo- dore O’Hara’s birth his parents moved to Frank- fort and there, where his new monument is proposed, the child grew to manhood. “He left college genuinely accomplished as a scholar,” writes his biographer, Ranck, “especially in the ancient and modern classics, and after the compliment had been paid him of election, youth as he was, to the professorship of the Greek language. An admirer who was present when he made his graduating address has said: ‘It was the most per- fect thing of ite kind I ever heard, for elegance of style, depth of thought, truthfulness of sentiment and beauty of composition.’” Greek professorships, however, were not within the lines along which O’Hara was to distinguish himself. “At 19 he was studying law in the office of Judge Owsley,” says Ranck, “where he was a fellow student of John C. Breckenridge.” O'Hara seems not to have been a success as a lawyer, for his biographer does not men- tion any case: which he took part. PB Says By my Ky. But when the Government called for volunteers in the Mex- ican War O’Hara promptly volunteered and was ap- pointed Captain. He fought at Contreras, was badly wounded at Cherubuseco, where he was brev- etted for gallantry, and was himself a witness in the land of the cactus of all of arms, of glory and of heroic death that he soon depicted in verse. “The Bivouac of the Dead,” as finally completed by the author and set forth by Ranck, begins with this verse: The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat The soldier’s last tattoo; No more on life’s parade shall meet The brave and daring few. On Fame’s eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards with solemn round The bivouue of the dead. “Modest as O’Hara w as,’ says Ranck, “it is evident he was not unconscious of the merits of*] master- piece, from the efforts he made to perfect it. He corrected it as often as Gray corrected his famous Elegy, and twice he changed it as radically as Poe changed his immorta] ‘Bells.’ ” These changes consisted chiefly in shortening the poem and cutting out local and saneercige allusions, as to “The Dark and Bloedy*Ground.” Thus, while the verse had originally been written to the Ken: tucky dead of the Mexican War, and only with the idea of its being read at the reinterment of the Ken- tucky soldiers at home, it came, gradually and final- ly, to be so perfect a martial elegy that it may be applied to the soldier dead of any time, place or country. Many have thought “The Bivouae of the Dead” was written for the dead of the Civil War, but while O’Hara served through that war, his mil- itary spirit also led him, as has been shown, into the Mexican War, and, further, into the Cuban ex- pedition of 1850, where he was second to Gen. Lopez in command. He also was with Walker's fll-fated filibusters in Nicaragua, Thus was the spirit of his elegy broadened. “The Bivouae of the Dead’ is in the strictest sense a martial elegy,” ye ew, 4% ~

of sorrow and sounds its peans of. praise for the sol- dier dead alone. And it does this with an eloquence and a power so rare and so impressive that it stands easily at the head of all American military requiems, even after the many additions that have been made to them in the shape of poetic tributes to the gallant slain of the war between the states. It cannot, therefore, be compared to any but the mas- terpieces of its kind, and this test not only demon- strates that it is a classic, but ‘that it pos- sesses qualities that_they do not possess, qual- ities that lift it above them and give it-a place in literature peculiarly its own. We think at once of that short but exquisite production of the unfortu- nate William Collins, ‘How Sleep the Brave!’ It is as elegantly proportioned, as clearly cut and as del- icately finished as one of Canova’s sepulchral mourn- ers, but its sadness touches us no more than the sculptured sadness of those marble figures, and we feel, too, that it is meant for none of the brave but those who died for freedom. “Another famous lyric presents itself—‘The Burial of Sir John Moore,’ which came so unheralded, but with so true a stamp, from the pen of an unknown curate, Charles Wolf. Fine as it is—and it is so fine that it was at first attributed to both Byron and Campbell—it is of necessity restricted, for it is local and incidental, and can apply to no hero but the British one it commemorates. And so it is also with Aytoun’s ‘Funeral March of Dundee,’ which opens with the ringing command to— Sound the pipe and cry the slogan, Let the pibroch shake the air. “It is a splendid expression of proud grief and defiant loyalty that can belong to no region but the highlands of Scotland, that can fit no lips but those of a bitter partisan of the repudiated Stuarts, and that will never be applied to any other soldier but him of whom it sings. “*The Bivouac of the Dead’ will bear comparloae * © © It is marred o

by no sentiment of revenge, no partisan bitterness, no vulgar prejudice, and contains no little-souled depreciation of the enemy, who is represented as sweeping like a hurricare and with unbroken ranks to the very shock of battle, and gallantly fighting to the end. There is no other great martial oy so broad in its spirit and so comprehensive in application. It is not a tribute to the illustrious chieftain alone, nor is it applicable to the martyrs of but one cause, but is a requiem to the soldier, who- ever, wherever and whatever he may be, who bravely died in the discharge of his duty—a requiem that swells with equal grandeur and beauty to the mem- ory of the gallant dead of every land and country, of sect or party, rank or station.” No poem of equal length ever written has, in the -game length of time, furnished so many epitaphs, for no other contains so many couplets, quatrains and stanzas so exquisitely adapted to that purpose. These epitaphs, which are elegies in themselves, short but complete, touching in their expression of sorrow and sublime in prophecies of tender remem-

brance, adorn many a battlefield, soldiers’ cometary : and military montgnent, not only in O’Hara’s native — South, but throughout the land.

If the first, then the child, Ramona, grown up, must have wandered back again to the one-time home of her race, for there she now certainly is, and with her is her daughter, living the life of her Indian _ grandfather’s people. It is one of the chief charms of_the story, “Ramona,” that its author succeeds, in a tale full of harrowing possibilities, in keeping out all wmnnecessary complications. While the simple story of the wrongs done the Mission Indians of California, and through which Ramona and Ales- sandro suffer, is of itself sufficiently harrowing, in its telling is preserved the atmosphere of truth and naturalness. It is in such instances as the man- ner in which the attitude of Don Felipe is made one full of sympathy for Ramona and Alessandro, when the attachment for an Indian of the woman he love might well have aroused the Mexican’s wrath, that the reader feels fully the kindly touch of an author who seeks to please rather than disappoint, while remaining terribly faithful in of other unpleasing but necessary such as the driving of the Indians from their homes.

But after taking a few pictures, she found the flynets of the horses inadequate for certain poses she desired to attempt. They had returned down the canon to secure better light and Mrs. McCulloch was about to use an elaborately embroidered laprobe from the carriage, when the girl, anticipating that the robe would be too heavy and cumbersome for the purpose of the picture as it had been patiently explained to her, suddenly called to Mrs. McCulloch to “wait,” and darting off to the house soon re- turned with a magnificent silk shawl. “Seeing my interest in the shawl, which was so out of kererne with the evident poverty of her Sur roundings,” says Mrs. McCulloch, “she explained BOO OOF FFF FSSSFSFFSOFSOSSFFSHHFESHHOOOSSO SSOP SSSI PIII POL ODO LOD OOP SFHSFSSSSSSSSOSSSOSOSSOSSOOSOOSD POO eesoooeos ACTORS BURIED IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY To him chiefly we owe the initiation of the move- ment for magnificent scenery which belongs to our He went specially to Paris on one occasion to and to de age. see the scenery, which was then a noveity, cide how the same effects could be: got in England.

Hutson Ford of this city a week ago. He is a well-known ‘Baconian. Its meaning began to dawn upon him when, for the first time, a powerful microscope was - turned upon a mysterious tailpiece at the end of 25 plays in this volume. Hitherto the search for a cipher in the Shakspeare plays has been confined to the text and no attention has -been given to the tailpiece, which appeared to be inserted for merely ornamental purposes. Some time ago, however, Dr. G. H. Platt of : Bryn Mawr, Pa., a distinguished “Shakspearean scholar, published the result of an exhaustive scrutiny of the headpieces in the First Folio edition, which he had been examining microscopically. He made no examination of the tailpieces, which are of a far more elaborate and complicated nature. These Dr. Ford began to «study. He found that the tailpieces in 25 ofthe plays were alike, made from the same cut, but differing in their degrees of clearness, as shown by the 1eluced facsimile of the First Folio edition published by Funk & Wagnalls of New York, a book found in every public library. Copies of the First Folio are exceedingly scarce and valuable, and there are but few of them in America. They show the tailpiece on a much larger scale than _40es the Funk & Wagnalls publication. akded as. beyond a doubt. Photographic enlargement, however, from this lat- ter publication, has now succeeded in bringing out the “full details of the tailpiece in a way to make it open to careful study. It appears to be a pic- torial cipher made according to the rules laid down by Lord Bacon in his work on ciphers. The “infold- ment” of the cipher in a design or phrase was the first principle which Bacon. emphasized. He then told how the cipher was to be concealed among meaning- less surroundings for the purpose of diverting sus- picion. Bacon was the essence of mystery, which, in his system of ciphers, he carried to a point never attempted before or since. In fact, some of Bacon’s ciphers, it is believed, are so well hidden that they may never be discovered. + Bacon was-alive when the First Felio edition was Or wit this discovery merely have the effect of throwing Some, doubt exisis as to the precis ¢ that tt shows Bacon discarding the mask of secrecy and making claim to been found at last? is the au- tobe solved by an-accidental discover) made. in sill further confidence in the Bacenian theory? nt by the finding in the fainous First unmistakable pictorial cipher saying, in ef- lays, am hidden behind a mask ahie! 1 f now meaning of this extraordinary cipher wm printed, seven years a.ter Shakspeare’s death, and he is believed to have had more or less to do with the preparation of the volume. In this way it have been an easy matter for Bacon to have inserted at the end of the plays to which he claimed author- ship an “infolded” pictorial cipher revealing his claim and intended to be deciphered in sonie future age. The manner in which this mysterious tailpiece was inserted at the end of some of the plays and omitted from others appears to show deliberate intention. Moreover, in at least one instance it is surmounted by a capital V and a small v without any apparent object, these being, it is claimed, the signs for Veru- lam, his title; Dr. Ford also thinks that he has found infolded in the cipher a V, meaning Verulam. The startling revelation of this cipher, however, is the discovery, above what seems to be the head of Shakspeare, of a boar, taking off a mask. A boar, or bristling hog, was Bacon’s crest, and was frequent- ly used by him, as well as the significant words “Hog” and “bacon.” Here we have the boar, rep- resenting Bacon taking off his mask of secrecy. As Dr. Ford expresses it, “Bacon here reveals him- self, saying: “I, Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, take off my mask of secrecy, disclose myself as the author of these plays, and Shakspeare. the impostor, is at my feet.” As to the head being that of Shakspeare, Dr. Ford has some doubt. It may also, he thinks, be the head of Queen Elizabeth, whose son Bacon believed himself to be. | This little vignetted head in the cipher, however, is unimportant, whether it be that of Shakspeare or Elizabeth. The important thing is “Bacon taking off the.-mask,” the author revealing himself, the secret of the parentage of the plays disclosed. It has also been found that in his right hand the Boar (Bacon) .holds the letter S (for Shakspeare) and attention is called to the fact that it is pre- cisely the S in form and shape used in Elizabethom days. It might be thus expressed: “Shakspeare u.. masked reveals Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, the author of these plays!” In the following paper Dr. Ford tells the remarka- ble story of the discovery of this hidden cipher and of the facts which convince him. of its significance. would

By this it is admitted that the plays were written by various hands and were published in 1623 in a collected, revised and authorized form as “lhe Works of William Shakspeare,” because his name had appeared on the title page of a number of the P works of Bacon and those attributed to Shakspeare: Identical expressions.

plays previously published, having been placed there by the booksellers as an advertisement, for Shaks- peare was known as the lessee and manager of the slobe Theater. Thus his name stood before the ‘pub- lie without open contest, and apparently with the tacit consent of the real author or authors. All this, however, is not satisfactory to the pure Baconians, who assert that Sir Francis Bacon was the hidden author and that the plays were mostly or wholly written by him when comparatively young, and that some of them were acted by Shakspeare and his company. Many of them were never acted, as far as we know. : Bacon’s literary attainments were vast, as we know, his fertility as a writer unexampled, his tal- ents more varied and excellent than even those of Leonardo De Vinci. He was known, and is still rec- ognized, as the father of modern philosophy, as the founder of, English equity, as the adviser of roy- alty, and it may be reasonably imagined that he chose to rest his fame upon these noble foundations during his life, while still holding fast to the fame of the dramatic poet. No man knew better than he that the plays would survive many of his other writings, and “in the future ages” to which he left all his works in his will, and by the posterity which would estimate them with more candor and a better - insight than the men of his own times, his life would be scrutinized in a serener atmosphere and judged with a tolerance which no art nor eloquence of his, while yet alive, could secure. Besides this, Bacon, it is explained by the Bacon- ians, held himself proudly aloof: from all contamina- tion of the stage. When still in France at the Court of Henry Ll, Sir Nicholas Bacon’s death occurred, and in 1579 Francis Bacon hurried back to England to find himself but poorly provided for in his reputed father’s will. All the property had peen devised to the six children by a former marriage.

With such a band, depraved, however full of tal- ent, Bacon was forced to have a certain a ‘quaintance for the sake of his purse, and Shakspeare must have EA been one of the rowdy gang when he became man- of the Globe Theater. The plays that Bacon wrote, if they were those we tind in the collection of 1623, were infinitely better and more elevated than the ones previously offered to the public. a gel To secure his claims to the plays, while refusing to openly acknowledge them as his work, Bacon seems to have adopted the device of interpolating | ciphers into them, and to have begun to do this from the very first. Other considerations, also, induced him to guard his writings with cipher and cryptic symbols of various kinds. In such matters he was a master, and some of his ciphers are used at the « present day. Im the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies ciphers. werein universal use. Bacon speaks of them in the “De Augmentis” and devotes three pages to an exposition of the biliteral cipher. There were also wheel ciphers, numerical ciphers and pictorial ciphers. Symbolography was as »much cultivated as the language ciphers, and many works of the time have these picture ciphers for frontis- pieces. Among them we may note the frontispieces of “Montaigne’s Essays,” of the “Shepherd’s Calen- dar,” of “Witherman’s Work on Cyphers,” of Bacon’s “Life of Henry VII,” and of his “De Augmentis.’ That Bacon was deeply conversant with all kinds of symbols and cryptic writing is well known, When a mere youth, after Sir Amyias Poulett’s recall from Paris, in whose train Bacon was sent to the French court, the “small envoy,” as he styles himself, spent some time in Poictiers. There he composed a work on ciphers which he afterward published. He men- tions the fact himself in the “De Augmentis.” A work on ciphers was very popular in Ben Jonson's time, by the famous Johannes Baptista Porta, in ventor of the camera obscura, and as early as 1568 was widely published. A work on ciphers by the that Bacon wrote the plays attributed to Shakspeare, and those who claim Nhakspeare wrote them,’a large contingent. of scholars hold that the two may have collab- orated. They say Bacon furnished the learning, the scholarship and the poetic, imaginative elements, while Shakspeare produced the plays, bringing to that work, his knowledge of stage arrangement and his faculty for “making a showing at the box office.” Shakspeare frequently did collaborate. with other men in playwriting. Two instances of this are “The Merry Devilof Edmonton,” which was announced, when published, as the joint work of Shakspeare and Rowley, and “The Two Noble Kinsmen,” written by Shakspeare and Fletcher. It is claimed that Shakspeare, as a-vondition precedent for producing any play (he controlled London’s leading theater and was a sort of Theatrical Trust himself), in- sisted on being given credit for the authorship,

Duke of Richmond, under the pseudonym of “Gus- tavus Selenus,” was published immediately after the folio of 1623, apparently 1624. Bacon must have seen it. The frontispiece is a “talking picture.” With regard to Francis Bacon’s arms and crest, Burke: describes them as “Gu. on a chief, ar.—two mullets, or—a crescent for difference,” but says nothing of the crest.

Mallock says that the hog was Bacon’s crest, and was used by him in certain “talking pictures” to establish a totel.or partial claim to the authorship of the works to which it was prefixed, and he compares one of these with a picture of a,bristling boar as it appears on the vellum of.a_b relating to him which ap-

Twenty-F ive Bacon Plays? WENTY-FIVE of the plays in the orig, oe inal 1623 edition have the symbolic tailpiece. They are: 7 ‘Measure for Measure,” “Comedy of Errors,” “As You Like It,” “Taming. of the Shrew,” “All’s Well That Ends Well,” “Twelfth Night,” “The Winter’s Tale,” first part of “Henry the Fourth,” second part of “Henry the Fourth,” “Life of Henry the Fifth,” first part of “Henry ‘the Sixth,” second: part of ‘Henry the Sixth,” third part .of “Henry the Sixth,” “Richard the Third,” “Life of Henry the Eighth,” “Troylus and Crean aes “Titus Andronicus,” “Romeo~—and Juliet,” “Timon of Athens,” “Julius Caesar)” “Hamlet,” “Othello,” “Antony: and Cleopatra,” “Cymbe- line.”

peared soon after his death. In thé plays there are several allusions to “Hog” and “Bacon.” But we have no sign of Sir Franels Bacon. Only in the matter and:manner of the plays; in their style, the subjects they deal with and the sentiment they contain, do we see any clear image of the ruling mind of his age. Did Bacon sit quietly and see all this done without a sign of protest? Would he allow all the magnificence of his rhetoric, the crowning shifts of his astute mind, his mastery of language and tu- multuous springs of fancy to be lost forever to his fame without a claim, a replevin for his own? Could ° he not impress upon his works some stamp which would set utterly at naught all the assertions of the worshipers of Shakspeare and prove the unbounded meed of praise yielded by the world to this un- tutored sot to be merely a weedy growth of time? There are 36 plays (of which 16 had not been pre- viously printed), 35 are enumerated 6n a prefatory page, and one more, “Troilus and Cressida,” not named, but printed in the volume. Each of these plays is headed by a vignette, which is used also once or twice for other plays, and other vignettes more often. A few of them seem to be “talking pic- tures,” others merely printers’ conventional orna- ments. With regard to them I have nothing to say at present. Dr. G. H. Platt of Bryn Mawr, Pa., has endeavored to analyze them laitely in a readable little volume characterized by its author’s well- known Shakspearean learning. On the other hand, 25 of these biave are provided with tailpieces, seemingly etchings on copper, and all alike, as far @s we can judge. The plates from which these prints were made are in some cases a little distorted and blurred, but in every feature fun- damentally the same. This taipie ¢, it has now been discovered, is a marvelous symbolograph, in which Bacon is the prineipal figure, unmasking and offering us the fruit« and odoriferous flowers of his faney (see “Love's Labor Lost,” act 4, scene 2). In the center there is an upright oval with e'«ht club-shayel radial bars. From the oval spring two gently curved bars, forming an open V, prolon;, «| below into two similar eurved bars, in shadow, bo h together making two creseentiform figures applied back to back. Where they meet in the middle the upright oval is seated. On either side we see a horn of plenty filled with fruit and flowers, stationed at the apes of a large vointe, and extending quile to the top of the piece. The lower norns of the two crescents give rise to which terminate below, in the basal depression r = heart-shaped outline, against whose apex “which is 3 not seen in the figure, a bust is applied.

A note of alarm was sounded by the New York and New England Assceciation of Surgeons at their convention held in New York Dec. 17, 1905. Strongly worded resolu- tions were adopted denouncing the practice of cer- tain poultry and game dealers to accumulate in stock and to store for a long period of time, poul- try and game without dressing, drawing. cleansing and other ‘sanitary precautions. It declared this food unwholesome, unsanitary, disgusting and dangerous to health and life Evi- dence was presented that a great majority of the reported cases of toxic infection were the direct re- sult of eating poultry or game which had been stored in its undrawn state. Similar resolutions were also adopted by the New York State Medical Associa- tiun at their convention. In the killing and preparation of poultry for cold storage the major portion of the poultry is killed in October and November. After slaughter the feath- ers are removed and the carcasses are packed in bar- rels_and shipped to the cold storage plants without further dressing. The head, feet and legs, as well as the full craw of partially digested food, the de- compcsing liver and lungs and the intestines, with their filthy and poisonous stock of excrement, load- ed with every local species of bacteria, are kept in- tact. It is a great mistake, says R. M. State Food Commissioner of Illinois, to suppose that cold storage permanently arrests the process of de- cay. Food placed in cold storage undergoes chem- ical changes that make it extremely dangerous and finds its way to the tables of the unsuspecting pop- ulace. Dr. Cavanna, in addressing the convention, related how a. fully developed hen carcass, a cold storage specinfen, was bought from a retail stock display of 26 undrawn poultry, and the salesman was requested to wrap the fowl without dressing it. “The following day,” he said, “we removed a por- tion of the breast tissue and macerated it two hours in a like quantity of sterilized water, using all asep- Patterson, tic precautions. Ten drops of the fluid portion of the well-stirred mixture were injected into the body of a healthy rabbit. Two hours later the evidences of toxicosis became manifest and the animal suc- cumbed after 42 hours. A sample of the fluid em- ployed in this experiment was examined by Dr. Broughton, City Chemist and Bacteriologist of Rome, N. Y., who reported the discovery of no less than 14 varieties of bacteria in the solution. From a bacteriological viewpoint, what must be the con- dition of the intestinal contents of a cold storage chicken or game bird w hen it reaches the apie gee and how savory must be/ its meat after months of saturation with this material in a cold storage warehouse ?” Dr. Wiley, the Chief Government Food Chemist, says: “The meat of poultry and game which has been in the frosty atmosphere of the cold storage is un- fit for food.” R. M. Patterson, Food Commissioner for Illinois, before the National Association of Retail Grocers at Niagara Falls, roundly condemned cold storage game and poultry as impure and unwholesome. He de- clared that illness and death due to toxic infection are becoming very common, due to the use of foods that have been kept in cold storage. Only recently a vivid illustration of impure food housed in a cold storage plant in this city came to. the notice of the public. A game warden seized an enormous amount of game, held in cold storage con- trary to the new game laws of this State. close examination it was discovered that this game had deteriorated to such an extent as to make it almost as poisonous as the bite of an asp and it was quickly condemned and destroyed by the City Board of Health. } Up to the present date there are no laws within this ggmmonwealth which directly bear on the pres- "ent evils and unsanitary methods practiced by the stores and dealers in game and poultry.

There are two sorts of ostrich*farming, the one grazing them on fields under irrigation, when five birds to the acre can be kept, and the other letting them find their own food in large camps up to 3000 acres and re- quiring from ten to twenty acres to a bird. In the first case the great drawback is the great cost of sand laid down with lucerne and under per- manent irrigation, it running from $200 to $500 per acre.

SE Missourians Breaking f This State’s Flattering Showing in “Who's Who in America’ ---Produced 122 Great Men and Women in Past Two Years---No Other State West or South: Can Compare With It---What the Facts and Figures Show. ITHIN the past two years Missouri has produced 122° great men and women. Not only that, Missouri holds the rec- ord of all trans-Mississippi States for the number of great men and women born within its confines or now living here. Not only that, Missoun has the largest percentage of gain in distinguished citizens of any State in the rien, _— Ali this may be proved by the “Who's Who in America,” and wathority, newly” issued “Who's Who” is an America’s book of the aristocracy of brains. The volume issued two vears ago credite4 Missouri with 207 distmeguishel men and women born in the State and 27) great men and women then residents of the State: a total ef 478 The volume which made its appearance from the presses last week credita Missourl with VAT native-born ce Jebri- ties, a gain of 50, and 343 present res‘de>t colebri - ties, a gain of 73; a total of GOO, a total gain of 129. z In other words, the percentage of gain for native horn men and women of national prominence in this State in two yeors has been 25, while the perce it- age of gain of present inhabitants whose achieve ywents a In California, Which is re such as to make them people of national often pointed to as the coming State of the nation, which has sent out a crop of authors and artists to startle the world, the gain has been but 20 per cent. No other State in the West or South can compare with Missouri in this matter. 460 famous people, but three-fourths as many 4s Missouri, while Tennessee has 366, .lowa 395 and Texas but 204. | Before going into details supremacy over every other State in the Union, it might be well: to give a wérd of explanation con cerning “Who’s Who in America.” It is a fat red volume, this year containing 16,216 names of men and women whose achievements make them worthy In selecting the showing \lissouri’s to be considered national notables. subjects who shall find place in this current bi graph- ical dictionary there are two methods--some must go in arbitrarily; for instance, governors, senators, judges of the Sup-ere Court and congressme.. But there are thousands upon thousands of men and women who are not directly involved in poli. ties, who have never written books or stories, paint- el pictures, invented seme new mechanical appli. ance, built a great massive, towering atructure or chiseled marble into life; these men ate great in every way and deserve a place in the National Hall Kentucky is given, of Fame. So a commission passes upon the names of all who are suggested to it for “Who’s Who” honors and, carefully winnowing the wheat from the chaff, announce the final selection. By this careful process ofs elimination, of survival of the fittest, Missouri is given 122 more famous men and women this year than it had in 1904, while Arkansas has but 9 more, Iowa but 72, Kansas but 45, Kentucky but 32, Nebraska but 21, New Mexico but 2, Oklahoma but 6, Tennessee but 27, Texas but Missouri heads the 21 and Indian Territory but 1. list, Indian Territory tails it. As to who all these 122 additions are, to name them and give the reasons why they have been called great would be a matter to consume days and columns of space. A few instances will suffice. For instance, this year Missouri is given credit for Mrs. Mary and the recently published “In Old Bellaire.” Two years ago Mrs. Dillon was unknown to fame. Again: Jay H. Neff, Mayor of Kansas City and publisher, in his days, of a half dozen prominent journals. This year’s “Who’s Who” concedes that Mr. Neff is entitled to a place in the seats of the mighty. And so on, pick up the volume at random almost any place and the name of a Missourian flashes into Tiew., ; \ record of 61 added famous men and women each year is one of which anv State might well be proud. At this rate of increase, jin another decade, Mis- sourt will have over 3000 men and women whom the autograph collector will find desirable prey. The rest of the nation could go hang: Missouri eould supply enough authors, ar‘ists, se ulptors, politicians and scientists to carry on the busineas of the en- tire country. SUNDAY ti elie od C.

The West is becoming the producing center of the world’s great men and women, Mis- souri is the center of this center. Another interesting matter proved by the Mis- souri names and figures in this volume is that Dr. Osler was altogether wrong when he declared that a man must have done his work by the time he is 40 years of age, if he is ever to do it, and that reaching 60 his period of usefulness is at an end and he should be chloroformed. Taking the ages and records of a hundred Misson- rians, at random from the 600 represented in the volume, the following is learned: The average age of the men and women who suec- ceed in life is 53.27 vears, of the men 53.38 and of the women 50.57 years.

PATCHES ON FINGERS BOWS ON WRISTS ‘AND GARTERS ON ELBOWS ene small black velvet bow still retains a very few devotees, but the latest tulle bows are certainly dainty, with their waving ends, and shorten the dis- tance of a long hand and thin forearm. The bows are made of vari-colored maline to match one’s frocks, and, though they should be made up over an elastic wristlet, can be tied on the wrists in butterfly bows with flying ends instead. filmy bows wave gracefully in the air with easy motion and when the wearer indulges in frequent gestures the bows add piquancy and charm to her movements.

WO of the happiest individuals in Arkansas to- day are Tommy Southerland, 14 years old, and Jeff Davis, Governor of the State. Southerland is happy because, after having been picked up 17 months ayo as a deaf, 2émb and blind waif, he is beginning to recover che power of speech. Davis is happy because it was he who discovered Southerland, and he cannot heip but feel that the interast he displayed in the boy's welfare is partly responsible for the miraculous turn in young Souther- land's condition. All day long Tommy w gropes his way through the hallways of the State Deaf Mute Institution, seeking someone tq whom he can talk, If he can’t find anyone he talks to the steam radiators or the furniture or the pictures, which he cannot see. He does not care for a response, He just wants to talk, talk, talk. To him it is like coming partly out of some big dungeon after @u imprisonment of more than four years, for he lost the facniites of speech, hearing and conversation through an atteek of spinal meningitis when he was 9 years old.

But these be mere externals. The true harbinger is the heart.

They had the same expressive look that existed before. But the boy was helpless. He could mot go any- where unlessied by one of his parents. Occasionally when they visited the postoffice town of Rudy they took Tommy along. He accompanied them in the wagon one day when they went to hear Jeff Davis make a campaign speech at Rudy. That was in No- vember, 1904. Farmers from all ever the county were there with their children. The little ones gathered in an open square and played games, while the older folk crowded aroun! the stand from which the Governor was talking. Lots of harsh things have been said im this State about Jeff Davis, but no one has ever come forward with the accusation that he is cold-bloodpd. He hw# a large, warm heart. On this day, when he was talking, the Southerlands arrived late. aind in their eagerness to hear the Governor they began pushing through the crowd: with Tommy behind them. The Governor net.ced them, and he likewise observ ed that the athletic-looking little chap with thp big hazel eyes was the only youngster in the audience. “What's the matter with that little fellow?” asked Davis. “Why isn’t he out there playing with the children ?” : “He’s Tommy Southerland,” answered several per- sons in the crowd. They seemed to think that a sufficient reply. to explain it all. But the Governor wanted to know more abouts the case.

Mr. Peters had a wife. ‘This had not heretofore affected his standing with Ragsy and Kidd, But to- day it invested him with a peculiar interest. His friends, having escaped matrimony, had shown a disposition to deride Mr. Peters for his venture on that troubled sea. But at last they had been forced to acknowledge that either he had been gifted with a large foresight or that he was one of Fortune’s lucky sons. For Mrs. Peters had a dollar. A whole dollar bill, good and receivable by the Government for customs, taxes and all public dues. How to get possession of this dollar was the question up for discussion by the three musty musketeers. “How do you know it was a dollar?” asked the immensity of the sum inclining him to skepticism. “The-coal man seen her have it,” said Mr. Peters. “She went out and done some washing yesterday. And look what she gave me for breakfast-—the heel of a loaf and a cup of coffee; and her with a dollar. “Tt’s fierce,” said Ragsy. Ragsy, “Say we go up and punch ’er and stick a towel in « ‘er mouth and cop the coin,” suggested Kidd, vicious- ly. “Y’ ain’t afraid of a woman, are you?” “She might holler and have us pinched,” demurred Ragsy. “I don’t believe in slugging no woman in a houseful of people.” “Gent’men,” said Mr. Peters, severely, through his russet stubble, “remember that you are speaking of my wife. A man who would lift his hand to a lady.except in the way of”’—— “Maguire,” said Ragsy, pointedly, “has got his boek beer sign out. If we had a dollar we coulkd”——— “Hush up!” gaid Mr. Peters, licking his lips. “We got to get that case note somehow, boys. Ain't what’s a man’s wife's his. Leave it to me. I'll go over to the house and get it. Wait here for me.” “I’ve seen ‘em give up quick, and tell you where t’s hid if you kick ‘em in the ribs,” said Kidd. “No man would kick a woman,” said Peters vir- tuously. “A little choking—just a touch on the windpipe—that gets away with ’em—and no marks left. Wait for me. IY] bring back that dollar, boys.” High up’in a tenement house between Second ave- nue and the river lived the Peterses in a back room so gloomy that the landlord blushed to take the rent for it. Mrs. Peters worked at sundry times, doing odd jobs of serubbing and washing. Mr. Peters had a pure, unbroken record of five years without having earned a penny. And ‘yet they clung together, sharing each other’s hatred and misery, being creatures of habit. Of habit, the power that keeps the earth from flying to pieces; though there is some silly theory of gravitation. Mrs, Peters r¢posed her 200 pounds on the safer of the two chairs and gazed stolidly out the one win- dow at the brick wall opposite. Her eyes were red and damp. The furniture could have been carried away on a pushcart, but no pushcart man would have removed it as a gift. The door opened to admit Mr. Peters. His fox- terrier eyes expressed a, wish. His wife’s diagnosis located correctly the seat of it, but misread it hun- ger instead of thirst. “You'll get nothing more to eat’till night,” she said, looking out the window again. “Take your hound-dog’s face out of the room.” Mrs. Peters’ eye calculated the distance between themy By taking her by surprise it might be pos- sible to spring upon her, overthrow her, and apply the throttling tactics of which he had boasted to his waiting comrades. True, it had been only a boast; never yet had he dared to lay violent hands upon her; but with the thought of the delicious, cool bock or Culmbacher bracing his nerves, he was near to upsetting his own theories of the treatment due by a gentleman to a lady. But with his loafer’s love for the more artistic and less strenuous way, he chose diplomacy. First the high ‘ard in the game—the assumed attitude of, sue- cess already attained. “You have a dollar,” he said, loftily, but signifi- he was in possession of all his faculties: but it left him deaf and dumb and blind.

I rubbed the skin off both me hands washing jumpers and overalls to make that dollar, Do you think it come out of them suds to buy the kind you put into you? Skid- doo! Get your mind off the money.” Evidently the poses. of Talleyrand were not worth one hundred cents on that dollat. But diplomacy is dextrous. The artistic temperament of Mr. Peters lifted him by the straps of his congress gaiters an‘ set him on new ground. He called up a look of desperate melancholy to his eyes. “Clara,” he said, hollowly, “to struggle further is useless. You have always misunderstood me. Heaven knows I have striven with all my might to keep my head above the waves of misfortune, but”—— “Cut out the rainbow of hope and that stuff about walkin’ one by one through the narrow isles of Spain,” said Mrs. Peters with a sigh. “I’ve heard ’em so often. There's an ounce bottle of car- bolic on the shelf behind the empty coffee can. Drink hearty. Mr. Peters reflectel. What mext? The old ex- pedients had failed.

His honor. was at stake. lle had engaged to storm the castle single handed and bring back the treas- ure that was to furnish them wassail and solace. And all that stood between him and the coveted dollar was his wife, once the little girl whom he could —aha!—why not again’? Once with soft werds he could, as-they say, twist her around his little finger, Why. not again? Not fof years had he tried it. Grim poverty and mutual hatred had killed all that. But Ragsy and Kidd were waiting for him to bring the dollar! Mr. Peters took a surreptitiously keen look at his wife. Her formless bulk overflowed the chair. She kept her eyes fixed out the window in a strange kind of trance. Her eves showed that she had been recently weeping. “I wonder,” sail Mt. Peters to himself, “if there'd be anything in it.” The windoy was open upon its outlook of brick walls and drab, barren back yards. Except for the mildness of the air that entered it might have been midwinter yet in the city that turns sucha frown- ing face to besieging spring. But spring doesn’t come with the thunder of cannon.

We wrote to the Blind Asylum in Little Rock and they answered that they couldn’t take any such kind of cases, “Til take the case,” was the somewhat angry declaration of the Governor. Then he jotted down the names of Tommy Southerland and his parents. A few days later the father received an important- looking letter from Little Rock. It stated that whereas the Governor had communicated with the Deaf Mute Institution about Southerland, the board of that institution had taken a deep interest in the lad’s welfare. The letter inclosed transportation to Little Roek for Tommy and his father. That was in November, 1904. Mr. Southerland hastened with him to Little Rock and he was duly enrolled at the Deaf Mute Institute. Awaiting bim was @ private room which had been: specially fitted up by order of the Governor. Tommy was just 13 years old. There was more of the wild animal than the boy about him. He wanted to sleep in the day- time and to grope about at night. He could not be made to understand the strange, new surroundings which had separated him from his mother and father. The boy was placed under the care of Mi«s Pauline Camp, one of the instructors. She was told to de- vote all her time to training him. It was a tedious and seemingly hopeless task. The case was one that had never before been encountered in Arkansas. It differed from Helen Keller's affliction in that she was stricken deaf, dumb and blind when she was an mfant, while this boy had been bereft of his facul- ties when he was beginning to enjoy them to the ut- most. The affliction tutned him into & pessimist. Miss Camp started in by trying to train the youngster fust as Helen Keller had been taught to communicate, by means of the sign language. An apple was placed in one of his hands while she clasped the other in her hand and spelled out the deaf and dumb signs for “apple.” For many days ithe boy gave no indication of having understood. He did not want to be taught anything. He want- ed to be let alone. But Miss Camp kept after him with the apple day in and day out, and ao tired him out with the single lesson that he finally gave a sign indicating that he understood what she was trying to convey to him. This was done by a nod- ding of his head every time the letters were spelled on his hand. Then Miss Camp took a baseball, a pencil, some paper and various objects, the spelling of which in the deaf mute alphabet she impressed on Souther- land’s mind. For days, weeks and months she kept this up. Finally the deaf, blind and dumb boy was taught dot only to receive messages from her, but to sconvey them by means of the sign language. He was also taught to “read” to himself by means of the old Moon system of raised letters. About this time William Wade, a niillionsire living at Oakmont, Pa.. who devotes himself to just anch eases as those of Helen Keller and Southerland, 'he- gan to interest himself in the hoy. Mr. Wade de- posited in a bank at Little Rock $150 to his credit and gave Miss Camp an allowance of 960 a month for. He also sent young Southerland « teaching him. typewriter. The writing machine giarked a new epoch in Tommy's life. He took to it with delight, as a child to a toy, and by constantly fingering it, lear the keys so that he could write letters. td flooded Crawford County with letters. He ” written notes every day to his parents wrote missives to the girls with whom he he before his misfortune, Each week he sent a . Gov. Davis telling of his progress and e thanks for what had been done for°him. The new method of being able to express to everyone cheered up the boy in a wonderful ; and under the guidance of Camp he mad: strides in hia studies, Brt’at this period progress he lost his teacher.
