Discharges by Board Have Re- duced Number Below What Is Needed.

Robberies are occurring night and day in all parts of St. Louis. The city is at the mercy of sneak thieves, who are not confining-their operations to any partic- ular section. Wheever there is an ar- ticle, however small, which can be stolen, eager hands reach forth to lift it. [louses are broken into, stores and sa- loons are looted and purses containing s: all change are snatched from the unds of weak and defenseless women i the street. (unable to check the operations of pet- i‘: thieves, the Police Department is ‘vnerntulating itself because so far no li~ “job” of thievery has been done. SB verul times in the last few weeks ticre have been diamond robberies, the \enlue of the stolen jewels in some cases being large, but safe crackers and mur- “ving burglars-have not been active. thieves who are now operating in {.ouis are of a kind to escape detec- t.un. ‘They take few chances, and they rireély fail io get away with the goods. “hes work quickly, deftly and safely, jie Sometimes so openly that they are bh o ot ‘wala

Jinds to and wil) sey that a) presen: eufety. eo Thieves who pose as peddlers usually travel in pairs.. They often have a horse and wagon and their pretext is that they are selling butter, cheese or eggs. in broad daylight they go up and down a block ringing doorbells.. When there is no answer to their rings they are reasonably sure that nobody is at home, but they take no chances. Carry Loot Out Openly. Lhey go to the next door neigi.bor and ask if the lady, whose be!l they rang, is out. If she is, her apartments be- come an easy mark. While one of the theves stands at the curb to wateh for the approach of a policeman, other crawls through a basement win- dow or opens tdie kitchen door with the deft turn of a skeleton key. A few minutes later the thieves are on their way, with the loot hidden tn the wagon. Thieves of this character stole a rug from the varlor floor of a South Side residence a few days ago. In this they took little risk. If neighbors had seen . ine them walking from the house with the alittle :girl women, A scream will send them scurrying from the house, their booty left behind. They prefer to take.money or articles which they ean dispose of to fence keepers. They are afraid of pawnshops. Among the criminals now working in St. Louis there is a particularly mean Class of street thieves, the kind that will take candy from a baby or loot a penny~slot machine. During the week a woman took her to a doctor's office, leaving Hef! BOcart on the sidewalk. One of these sneaks boldly walked up and trundled the buggy down the street in full view of many passers by: None of them dreamed that ne was not its own- er. They reasoned, if they thought of it at all, that nobody but a father would push «2 baby carrisge if he didn’t have to. Dismissals Thin Force. This belief in the obvious is the sneak thief’s greatest safeguard. People argue that a man will not steal openly. When

they see a person calmly walking down

but not so often. According to the heads of the department, it is not ineffi- ciency, but lack of numbers which pre- vents the police from capturing ‘the many thieves now harassing the people of St. Louis. It is pointed out that wholesale dis- missals from the force by the Police Board has so depleted the department

that there are not enough patrolmen to properly guard the city. Nominally, the police force of St. Louis numbers 1100 men, but it has been | 80 depleted that the roster now contains only 900 names, including those of the Officers. Half of these men work during the day and the other half at night, so that at any one time there are only 450 men to look after the safety of the 62 square miles within the city limits. Sev- eral policemen walk beats which cover nearly 100 city blocks. The extent to which the sneak thieves are taking advantage of this is shown by some recent crimes. A new crime in St. Louis is the theft of the little boxes in which the money placed in the nickel-in-the-slot tele-

DIME NOVEL GANG OBBERS BUSY Two of the Boys Under Arrest Confess Crimes of Sev- eral Months. Specia: to rhe Poat-Vispatch. PHOENIXVILLE, Pa., April 7.—With the arrest of two Kimberton boys, charged with robbing freight cars at Pottstown, it has been discovered that an organized gang of boys, of which the prisoners are said to be the ringleaders, have been terrorizing their home vil- lage for several months past. Luther Free and William Finken- binder, aged about 16 years, are the

youngsters arrested. They confessed to breaking into freight cars at Pottstown, and were taken to the Norristown Jail, frorn which the latter has obtained his release on bail. The gang, which is said to have about 20 members, according to the township authorities, is the result of much dime novel reading and cigarette smoking. Since before Christmas petty thieving has been common in Kimberton, and much property has been destroyed. Chickens have been missed, reins crossed, slot machines stolen, and an attempt was made to wreck the passen- ger train on the single-track Pickering ‘Valley Railroad. A DEAD THIS TIME.

ANARCHIST LEAVES PRISON A STUDENT Berkmann Learns Eight Lan- guages During Fifteen- Year Term. PITTSBURG, April 7.—When Alexan- der Berkmann leaves the Allegheny Countv Prison May i8, after having served 15 years for an attempt to kill Henry C. Frick, the coke and steel mag- hate. he will be able to converse flu- enly in eight languages. Years behind prison bars have cos verted him from an avowed anarchis to a student and philosopher. Many persons have forgotten’ both Berkmann and his crime, yet they star- tled the nation during the days of the great Homestead strike of 1892. Frick was one of the managers of the steel industry when it grappled in the gi- gantic struggle with its workmen. Berkmann was so radical at the other end of the scale that he was classed as a leading anarchist. During the excitement of the indus- trial controversy Berkmann found his way into the Pittsburg offices, reached the magnate’s presence and shot him twice. Then the assailant attempted to complete his work with a dagger. Overpowered before he could accom- plish his full porpose, Berkmann was given a 15-year term in the Penitentiary. This was supplemented by a one-year term in the Allegheny County Work- house for carrying concealed deadly weapons. nee behind prison bers all his lelsure time. to study beginning of his term he . write English ¢8.d German.

self to prose. If the Conried company proves to me this week that I should have welcomed them in glowing verse—why, so much the better for the Conried company, for St. Louis opera lovers and for me. But I’m from Missouri now and shall wait to be shown. Tho diseouraging feature of being by nature an optimist is that it so often leads one to become later a pessimist. I was induced to believe that the Savage singers this year were very high-class, indeed, that the company was far above its accustomed average, that all the operas included in its St. Louis repertory received productions of the most satisfying character, an@ that the great novelty of the engagement, “The Valkyrie,” was pre- sented in a really masterful manner, great in its cast, complete in its scenic equipment, a worthy offerfng of Wagner's most stately and impressive work. Did you see it? If you did, I ask you in all honesty if you don't agree with what .I said about it on the day following its first St. Louis per- formance. I give you my word, it has been years since I was so grievously disappointed. And “Tannhauser” let us all down hard, too. The operas of another school, “Rigoletto” and “La Boheme” and “Faust” were done better, and welcome indeed was the change, very much in the nature of April sunshine following March frost. The people who had heard the Minnesingers of Sunday night and the gods, heroes and wish-maidens of Monday night—ah, how thankful they seemed-for the Verdi strains of the third evening of the Savage engagement! The musical version of the pathetic story of the embittered court jester, which Willard had given to us in its straight dramatic form only the week before, doesn’t make such a ‘demand upon singers as is created by Wagner’s tremendous conceptions and the average operatic organization can gat along very nicely with it, this being also true of “La Boheme” and “Faust,” wherefore the middle and close of last week were much more enjoyable than the beginning. Even “Lohengrin” of Friday night was an improvement on the first two performances, which goes to show that the Savage company put its worst, instead of its best, foot foremost in St. Louis. But there’s no use crying over spilt milk. THE FIVE GREAT CONRIED OFFERINGS. I'm ready now for just as much soul’s delight as the Metropolitan pera company can give us in the five productions comprised in its St. DLouls engagement of three evenings and one afternoon, If Caruso and Sembrich and Homer and Plancon prove fully deserving of the trumpetings of praise that have preceded them, why, even the memory of the “Martha” of tomorrow evening should be a thing of beauty ands joy forever. If Heinrich Knote is as great and sweet-voiced a Knight of the Holy Grail as he is said to be. and if Marie Rappold is as exquisitely satisfying an Elsa es is prockimed, then, too, the “Lohengrin” of Tuesday evening should leave a swan-song trembling ravishingly in our ears for long-time delecta- tion. The “Faust” of the Wednesday matinee, with its incomparable quartet of stars, Caruso as Faust, Eames as Marguerite, Plancon as Mephistopheles, Campanari as Valentin—say how, oh, how, can there be any shattering of ideals_or unfulfillment of expectations when such people sing in such roles? And the “I Pagliacci” of ‘Wednesday evening, with Scotti as Tonio and Bella Alten as Nedda, followed by “Haensel and Gretel” with the frolicsome Miss Abarbanélf as the boy Haensel, Miss Alten as Gretel and Otto Goritz as Peter—it’s difficult to be cynical in contemplating such a prospect! Truly, I fecl tempted to surrender to my inheritance of optimism and look forward confidently to great achievements by the Conried singers. But, all the same, I’m from Missouri until the goods are delivered. Nevertheless, it behooves Mr. Conried to do his best, for already a rival is camping on his trail in New York and later will follow. it out into the provinces, as New Yorkers call all parts.of this country outside of Manhat- tan Island. This rival is no less a personage than the redoubtable Oscar liammerstein, who promises to give a season of Italian opera that shall put the Conried organization on its mettle to surpass. As a worthy an- tagonist for Caruso, he has engaged Bonci, the !. ric tenor who has become ali the rage in Europe and who is said by many good judges to outsing the bright,- particular star of the Conried forces. Edouard de Reszke is also his for next season, with Jean de Reszke promised for a few special pro- ductions, and he has outbid Conried for Nellie Melba. Then, too, Hammers- tein is negotiating with Nordica and Calve, with a fine chance of getting both and ‘he is said to be reaching out as well for Mme. Bressler Gianoli of s the Brussels Opera House, an excellent Carmen, and for Gilibert and Antona, while, as conductors, he has already engaged Leandro Campanari, brother of Baritone Campanari of the Conried company, and Lefeonte Campanini, one of the most prominent of modern Italian conduetors, who has directed at the San Carlos in Naples, the Scala in Milan and the Covent Gardens in oon. IMPRESARIO’S TAUNT—AND THE PLAY OUTLOOK. All of which goes to show that Mr. Oscar Hammerstein is very much ._ ih earnest, indeed, and that Mr. Conried must look to his laurels. Only the ’ @ther day, when Conried’s lieutenant, the musically erudite Charles Henry * Meltzer—who arrived in St. Louis this past week—encountered Hammerstein in a New York cafe and remarked, patronizingly, that Mr. Conried’s rival “might have a fighting chance.” Hammerstein scoffed at him. “Look here, Meltzer,” he said. .“You tell that amateur boss of yours that he'll be glad to get the overflow from my productions.” So there you are—and if’ Mr. Conried wants to hold “the provinces” loyal to hk& standard he must give them grand opera in every respect commensurate with the price of admission. The play outlook for the week now opening is fairly bright. To the * Century comes “The Gingerbread Man,” with a host of St. Louis favorites ‘im the cast--Homer Lind, Helen Bertram, Gus Weinburg and others. At * the Garrick the Thalia Theater Company of Yiddish players from New York - begins a week's engagement ,Tuesday evening, a very particular interest attaching to their St. Lo@is venture. They tell me at the Garrick that the . Yiddish element of our local population is stanchly supporting this engage- , ment and that there has been an excellent advance sale. Thursday even- _ing, following the close of the Conried engagement, “The Clansman” comes . to the Olympic for a return engagement, finishing out the week. The Grand ) will have “Gay New York;” the Imperial offers “The Governor’s Pardon;” , at Havlin's the bill is “Why Women Sin,” and fresh vaudeville, burlesque 4 und specialty are offered at other houses. _... Jeff de Angelis, Toby Claude and Julia Sanderson had a good week in “Fantana” at the Garrick. At the Century that unlucky two, Herbert Kel- cey and Effie Shannon, struggled valiently but vainly against the hoodoo of their dramatized version of “The Lightning Conductor.” It’s a mighty dull play, so dull that one felt pity for Mr. Kelcey and Miss Shannon, who de- serve a far better fate than to be run over by an automobile “comedy” ithat isn't comic. ' But some very good things are coming into view—Mansfield before long, and Viola Allen in “The Toast of the Town,” and Paula Edwards in “The Princess Beggar,” and Mrs. Leslie Carter in “Adrea” and other plays. The son isn't over yet, by any means.

It is announced that extraordinary care has teen taken to stage every opera in this reper- tory with appropriate thoroughness and that in every essential respect the productions will be as tine as those seen in New York. The or- chestra this year has been rehearsed several weeks longer than usual before the season opened and it at its highest point of ef- ficiency. Beginning Thursday night, ‘‘The Clansman’’ will fone a retugp engagement in St.Louis at the Olympic Theater. The final performance in this city will be given Sunday night, April 15. During the previous presentation at the Century, the attendance was so remarkable that Manager Short at once made arrangeuients for a return of Mr. Dixon’s remarkable play.

Scenically ‘‘The Gingerbread Man,”’ in two acts and four scenes, is a picture of Fairy- land, and it is brimful of novel businees. Its management, the Converse-Peters Co., a Wealthy and new theatrical firm, is said to have dispensed money with a judicious but lavish hand in all that concerns this, their first venture.

Plays and Players R. ALFRED G. ROBYN, compos- er of “The Princess Beggar,”’ Paula Edwardes’ new opera, is in correspondence with the Shuberts relative to several gala presentations of the work, generally considered his best, at the Garrick the week of April 22. The Shuberts desire that the famous. St. Louis compeser shall lead the or- chestra on the opening night and once } or twice thereafter. Mr. Robyn’s many

| engagements make this matter one of, nice adjustment. In any event. S8t. Louis opera goers are once more to have the pleasure of seeing Mr. Robyn at the dirigental desk of a big opera proposition,. a pleasure which, by the way, has not been accorded them since the initial presentation at the Grand Opera House (then under the veteran George MacManus’ management) of Robyn’s Mexican comic opera ‘“Jacin- <."" Viola Allen appears as Betty Single- ton in Clyde Fitch’s play, ‘“‘The Toast of the Town.” at the Olympic Theater next week. Miss Allen has achieved a great success in this play. The gen- eral impression seems to be that she has never appeared to better advantage than as Betty Singleton, who is sup- posed to be a famous actress who lived during the time of George III. “The Toast of the Town” is in four acts, and Is provided with a production truly Fitchian, which means that it is novel and artistic. Miss Allen’s supporting company, always of the best quality; includes Isabel Irving, Mrs. Fanny Ad- dison Pitt, Harriman Hunter, Norman Tharp and C, Leslie Allen. ““Mexicana,’’ one of this season’s most pronounced Shubert successes, ended its New York run at the Lyric Theater, New York, last night. ‘‘Mexi- cana’ is due. at the Garrick Sunday evening next. The week intervening will be employed in playing between New York and St. Louis. ‘Mexicana’ is booked for a run at the Garrick Theater, Chicago. The cast will be the Same as seen in New York with only one exception, Louis Harrison taking the place of Thomas Q. Seabrooke Christie MacDonald, the well-known Stage beauty; Edmund Stanley, Joseph Herbert and many other favorites have prominent parts in the new comic opera on the score of which Raymond Hubbel] has done some of his best work. Homer’ Lind, who last season inter- preted with distinction the role of Kling- sor in “Parsifal,”” was especially en- gaged by the management of “The Gin- gerbread Man” to sing ‘“‘Queen of My Dreams,’ a musical number in the big extravaganza which opens at the Cen- tury tonight. The song has scored a big hit every where, _ Mme. Kenny Lipzin, the world’s lead- ing Yiddish actress, who comes to the Garrick next week, has been on the Stage since her twelfth year, having be- gun her career in the smaller cities of Roumania. The plays in which she most excels are those specially written for her by Jacob Gordin, who by his work has performed the same service for her as Victorien Sardou is credited with in the case of Mme. Sara Bernhardt. Mme Lipzin is in the prime of life and her talents at their best. ‘ At Mannion’s Park this summer, ac- cording to the announcement of Proprie- tor Patrick Mannion, a high-class vau- deville performance of seven acts will be put on weekly. Already Mr. Mannion has contracted for many improvements and the place will present a gala ap- pearance on its opening in the middie of May.‘ Mr. Edward Shayne, the Chi- cago booking agent, has contracted to put on the vaudeville show. It is said that the shows will be of quality rather than quantity and the best of their kind ever seen in St. Louis. Mr. Richard Mansfield, at the conclu- sion of his ‘present New York engage- ment, will play a supplementary season of four weeks, of which one will be de- voted to Cincinnati, one to St. Louis, and two to Chicago. Mr. Mansfield’s inaugural night at the Olympic Theater is Monday, April 30, and his repertoire is as follows: Monday, April 30, as Ar- thur Dimmesdale in the dramatic ver- sion of Hawthorne’s masterpiece, “The Scurlet Letter; Tuesday, May 1, a8 Richard, Duke of yc oe a King of England, in speare’s trage- dy, ‘King.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST~- DISPATCH —4Priu 8, 1906

SLAYERS PLEA UF RUINED HOME ANGERS JUDGE “Nonsense From Man Who Willfully Deserts Wife,’’ He Says.

ACTRESS Is KILLED Man Had Followed Her After She Deserted Hus- band, LODGING HOUSE TRAGEDY

When Woman Became Tired of Game, Victim Shot Her. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORTLAND, Ore., April 7.—‘I killed the woman because she broke up my family,’’ said George Blodgett when summoned before the Police Judge. Biodgétt shot and killed ‘‘Alice Gordon” in the Van Noy lodging house. “Take him away and lock him up. I do not care to hear such nonsense from a man who willfully deserted his wife and two children for a womon like Alice Gordon,” said the magistrate. Chief Gritzmacher has information that Blodgett has a wife and two deserted children living in Kalispell, Mont., where the murderer was at one time employed as a bartender; that the man met the murdered woman in Spokane about a

*. year ago; that her name is:Mrs. Alice Milligan, and that she was married in Fargo, N. D. She became a variety ac- tress when she deserted her husband. “IT have no patience with a fellow of Blodgett’s stripe, who will come be- fore me and sob out that the women he killed ruined his family,” said the Chief. “I would like to ask how a woman can break up a man's home if he is not the principal party to the compact.” Developments prove that Blodgett had been following the woman about the coast country for a year. When- ever she ‘appeared in the theaters he would seek a job in a saloon. Blodgett had money and spent it freely when in Portland six weeks ago. He returned two weeks ago and said to several chance acquaintances that he was lookimg for employment. He was a constant attendant at Bla- zier’s Second and Burnside Street Mu- sic Hall, and would wait until the 1 o'clock closing hour that he might es- cort Alice Gordon to her room at the Van Noy House. Blodgett lived at the same house. He seemed infatuated with the actress, and despite the warnings of Mrs. N. L. Slocum, the landlady, that the woman was only working him, he continued his atten- tions, After he retirned to Jail, Blodgett, made this statement: “You can hang me or send me up for life. I do. not care what you do with me. I killed Alice. 1] killed. her be- cause she ruined my home. She infat- aahod me, and when my money was gone, she threw me down. I met her in a dance hall at Kalispell, Mont., and at the time 1 was conducting a saloon at the Columbia Falls cutoff. We lived to- os ether for many years, and at one place 6 conducted a lodging-house together. There are men in this town who boarded at our house. She told me, she cared only for -me and I.was not to let her husband have any of her property if I was present when she died.’ FATALLY SHOT: HE KILLS SLAVE

Man With Bullet in Heart Shoots Negro Three Times in the Head. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NATCHEZ, Miss., April 7.—With a bullet through his heart, Harry Beard, aged 2) yeurs, manager for his mother on her Concordia Parish, La., planta- tion, walked °5 yards and fired five shots from nis revolver, three taking effect in his assassin’s head and a fourth passing through the negros hat. This happened in Vidalia, La., across the river from this city. The assassin was Ed King, aged 28 years, who with a companion lay in wait, for young Beard, with whom he had a difficulty two years ago. At that time the negro was working in the Beard plantation. King fired two shots at young Beard at that time ane then left for Texas, going to Beaumont, where he engaged in railroading, ana a short time ago lost his leg in a railroad accident. The company gave him $200 and he returned to Vidalia. In company with a negro named Davis, King got drunk and threatened to make trouble. Beard was warned and ‘vas accompanied by his brother Charles, but the negro caught him off his guard. After the double tragedy King’s com- panion disappeared. A posse found him next day at iis home, 10 miles below Vidalia, and took him back to that place. where he was lodged in Jail. He rotests he had no part in the shoot- rg.

1 WIN JUDGE rR PLE “MOTHER Eight-Year Sentence for Man Confessing Many Crimes.

SPEAKS FROM THE DOCK

Asks That. Term Be Such That ~ Parent Will Survive His Absence, Special to the Fost Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, April e7.—“I ask your honor to temper justice with mer- cy, so that when I come out of prison I may find my poor old mother still alive, and can redeem myself in the eyes of my fellow men and be a com- fort to my mother's declining years, and be with her when she dies.”’ These words, spoken by Patrick Shea, self-confessed burglar and ex-police- man, electrified everybody in Quarter Sessions Court No. 1—Judge, court 4at- taches and spectators—and won for the Friday night robber, who had spread terror over Germantown, the sympathy of Judge Willson, for which he pleaded. Standing in the dock, with tears streaming down his face, Shea made one of the most dramatic scenes ever wit- nessed in the local courts. He had asked the Judge to be allowed to say a few words before the passing of sen> tence, and when he pictured the lone- liness of his old mother during the years he must spend in prison and showed by his outpouring, his deep love for his parent every heart softened to- ward him—especially that of om.the beneh, who had it in his. power towend the eloquent burglar to prison for over. eight score years. _ Possible Sentence 160 Years. Vehene he had finished his appeal for mrercy the Judge publicly proclaimed it a strong one, and at the end of a short ad@fress to the prisoner, said: ‘I sen- tence you to eight years in the County Prigon.’’ It had been expected that the term would be 15 years at least. e picture of the lonely mother and loving burglar-son had been successful- ly @rawn. Had Judge Willson felt called upon to impose the full HNmit of penalty fot Shea’s crimes, he could have made ihe sentence 160 years, the prisoner having pleaded guilty to 16 indictments, the maximum penalty on each count be- ing 10 years. mediately upon being placed in the doek Shea said he wanted to say some- thiig. On being. given’ permission to speak he said: ‘Your Honor, I have committed many crimes, and the law says that crimes must be punished, and I bow to the giandate of the law. In many cases it is, however, impossible to punish the guilty without making the innocent suf- fer also. In my case this is particularly s0, because the imposition of a heavy sentence will be a blow to one whom I love more than my own life—my nroth- Never Cinee Revolver. “Now, having had time for reflection in prison, I cannot think what possessed me to do the things that I have done. It could not have been love of gain, be- eause the results of my crimes have been vastly exaggerated. I took for the most rt only hats and umbrellas. I committed no violence and never carried a Yun in my life. Since my arrest, I have made a full confession and have made every effort to make full restitu- tion.” Then Shea spoke the words about wanting to come out of prison before s mother dies, with the intense dra- tic result, concluding with: ‘Your that is all I have to say, and Judge Willson, replying to the prison- “Your appeal to the Court is eel that if your love son to question it, itisa very commend- able feeling on your part, but it is a great misfortune that you were _ not controlled by it before you committed these crimes. However, it is not for the Court to regard the ‘sentimental as- ect of each particular case, but the cine | it has on the general public. Reflecting on your case, however, I in was suggested at the time you ‘asa guilty will fulfill the ends of J ce."”’ ‘The Court then imposed the sentence eight years, which announcement met with a choked ‘thanks. runkards ~~ Cured ‘Secretly hay Lady Can Do It at Home—Costs Nothing to Try. ‘han concluded that a lighter sentence t

DAY OF Chu AILURES ? EAPEAT 9 ve Secretary Wilson Tilson Explains How National Agricultural Calam- ities Are Avoided.

FARMERS ARE STUDENTS

Growers Are Quickly Taking Advantage of Specially Adapted Seeds.

By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 7.—There need be no more crop failures, in the opin- ion of the Secretary of Agriculture. In fact, Mr. Wilson confidently asserts that there will be none, and he Knows more about such matters than any other ‘man in the country. In this prediction the Secretary does not take into account great calamities such as floods or a wide area of freezing weather in July, but early and late frosts, drouth and prolonged rainy sea- sons, torrid heat and lack of sunshine, grasshoppers, rust and other pests and diseases are considered by him as con- ditions which the farmer may guard against and thus insure regular crops. “There. have been materia! improve- ments ‘in agriculture during the present decade,’ said Scretary Wilson. “Impor- tant improvements hawe been made in agricultural machinery which are of Breat advantage to the farmers. The Department of Agriculture has, by ex- periments, demonstrated what it is pos- sible to do in preparing for climatic fluctuations in heat and moisture and has made a etudy of the soils. It 1s not only possible, but it is the general rule nowadays for the farmers to study the soil he has to work, and intelligently select the crops best adapted. What the Department Has Done. ‘In 1910 the production per acre will be twice as great as it was in 1900. This increase will be due entirely to the ad- vance which the farmers are making in the direction of selection and methods. The accomplishment of the department in its work among the farmers in bring- ing ubout this result is of. sufficient im- portance to warrant all the appropria- tlons that have been made during the last six years for its maintenance, but the work of the department has not eer with increased acreage produc- jon. “Agents have been at werk all over the world searching for crops best adapted to conditions existing in various sections of our wide expanse of terri- tory.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. DETROIT, Mich., April 7.—Alderman George A. Owen, the “candy man’ of the Common Council, had his bewhisk- ered face kissed by a pretty young school teacher, and the Council hall in general was turned into an informal re- ception room when the Council voted the increase in the teachers’ salaries.

The original request for a total in-| créase was $110.12 and the Committee on Ways and Means recommended an in- crease of only $72,900, but Verner started witn a plea in favor of the total increase asked by the teachers. Others followed him and were enthusi- astically applauded by the teachers and their friends present. When Chairman Reinhardt finally put the question to vote, almost a unanimous ‘‘yea” thun- dered through the hall, and it was an- nounced that the measure had passed.

Police Officers Sear Flesh With Cigars to Make Her scream, a

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. ST. PETERSBURG, April 7.—The out- side world may wonder at the intense hatred the revolutionists bear the Rus-' sian police and army, but those who appreciate the brutality of the police, who, aided by the army, commit the inest-atrocious deeds which no civilized people comprehend at all. One of these atrocities has just come to light and details were printed in all the lberal papers in Russia regardless of the po- lice. It is a letter to revolutionists from the girl who killed Goy. Lubanov- sky, and who is called the Torquemada of the peasants of Tamboyv. The wom- an describes her deed as well as the brutal tortures she had to endure. The letter: : es “Dear Comrades: It was the last time Musical Play hy Alamo’s Pre- server at Garrick Next Week.

Missouri Executive Pardons William Gilson, Laborer, Who Was Sent to Jail for Two Years by Stern Squire Because He Killed a Few Minnows With Dynamite In midsummer of ihe year 1095, William Gilson, a frugal and indus- trious citizen of Jefferson County, Mo., was arrested at his home for vio- lation of the Missouri game law, with the result that he was sent to the county jail oun a penalty, including the fine and expense of prosecution, which would have kept him locked up two vears. Recently on the peti- tion of residents of Jefferson County, whe recognized the injustiee of the punishment, Goy. Folk pardoned the offender, The people of Jefferzon County are of the opinion that Gilson was in reality a victim of the game law, rather than a violator who deserved exemplary punishment. He is bering man with a farge family re- Siding near De Soto and at the time, of his arrest was employved in a small stone quart’ between De Soto and Victoria. llis wages small, his. fam-~ ily large, Gilson thought to get some food cheaply by dynamiting for fish in the creek near the quarry. employer's dynamite, used for blasts, was accessible and #o he tried the plan. No one ever fishes in that purt of the creek except boys who use pinhooks, and Gilson did not know that he was violating a law. His reward was a handful of fish—- none Over five inches in length. His wrongd*-—~ was within full view of the stace road and without attempt at concealment. A passer-by saw it and a2 constable descended upon the luckless quarry- man, finding the fish and unused dy- namite in his possession. Gilson freely admitted his offense and the justice imposed the limit of punishment. He had no friends to intercede and no money for-attorneys. no defense, ‘_He was guilty and left it to the officers, They acted with legal severity. So Gilson went to jail and his wife and little ones did as best they could. Winter camé and Gilson was still in the County Jail, with no prospects of get- ting out. He knew nothing of petitions or pardons and was awed by the law. He was treated well, had good food and clothing and comfortable sleeping quar- ters—better than his wife and children and more food.

This called the case to the attention of the county officials, who concluded Gilgon was being punished for his pov- erty fully as much as for his wrong- doing and, in addition, he was a source of considerable expense to the county. | At the request of the economical county authorities, two De Soto lawyrrs drew wp a petition, circulated it, and sent it on to Goy. Folk with the statement that evervone believed Gilson acted without thovght of crime; that he had not at- i tempted to conceal his guilt, and, as the crerk is not recognized as a fishing re- |sort elther by fishermen or the State in 'stoeking streams, the punishment was i undoubtedly excessive. The Governor was also advised that the prisoner's board was a heavy county expense; that the room in the Jail was needed for real criminals, and that as Gilson had neither money nor friends, he would be forced to remain in the Jat! the fuli two years, unless the Governor intervened. While the county authorities thought the punishment was extraordinarly 5¢€- vere, that phase of the matter was not taken up in the petition, as the action of the magistrate on the fine was clear- ly within the statute. It was the first case of record wherein a petty offender against the game, law stood for a penalty of confinement two years in Jail. i } ' - nee ; ‘STUDENTS IN RIOT FOR CROWN PRINCE. BUCHAREST, Roumania, April 7.--A number of students sought to wreck the office of Adevarul (The Truth), Rou- mania’s best newspaper issued here, be- eauge of the paper's attitude toward Crown Prince Ferdinand. The paper, in a-serles of ariicles, sought to show that Prince Il’erdinand, being neither clever nor popular, should never become King of Rournania, and that if he were to become King it would be to the disadvantage of the covgtry, as Ho country needs a man of political

t

wacity. The paper pointed out that Terdinand’s son, Prince Carol, is likely to make a desirable King, as, in spite of his youth, he shows indications of sa- gacity and seems to be a good soldier, which hig father is not. Some students took offense at these articles and arranged a protest meeting. From the meeting they went to the office of the paper, in front of which they delivered fiery sveeches and ended by breaking some windows.

Special te the Post-Dispatch. VAN BUREN, Ark., April 7.—Svberiff D. W. Moore Jr. of Crawford County is 28 years old. When he was appointed to the office by Gory. Davis he said to his wife: “There {s one thing I will do while I am Sheriff. I will find the murderer of Constable ‘Bill’ Jones. When Constable ‘Bill’? Jones was shot from ambush In July, 189%, the present Sheriff was 18 years old. He resented, with youthful ardor, the neglect of the selves with a perfunctory investigation of the crime and then dropped the whole matter.

There is a settlement of six miles east of “The Colony.’ Many the laws of Arkansas were said to heve been committed there before Corstahb!ie Jones and George Perry, went out night raid Tandy Ferguson's place. Tne men who played poker and craps aware of his coming and made arrangements for his reception in the afternoon. Jones and Perry eatered the house at night and arrested two men whom they found there. Hew They Were Ambushed. AS the officers were departing they were fired upon by men secreted {nu a cornfield. Jones: was killed, Perry was wounded in the shoulder and one of the prisoners was also wounded. Last December Sheriff Moore arrested a negro, Martin Bettis, stealing meat. He believed this man was con- ‘cerned in the Jones murder and went to work on him, with the result that he | now had a fair idea of the facts. Bettis was convicted of grand larceny and sent to the Penitentiary. Gov. Davis par- doned him and he returned to Crawford County under the promise Sheriff Mcore that he would have ample protec- tion from the murderers and thetr friends. Similar promises were made-to Rebocca, Hancock and Silas Ricks. Rebecca testified that her gun had been used by the assassins and implicat- ed ‘andy Coggs, who, she said, had threatened her with mobbing if she told the officers anything. Ricks testified to overhearing a conversation in Tandy Ferguson's house on Sunday afternoon (preceding the killing), in which Calvin Coggs sald: “If ‘Bill’ Jones comes down here he’li be hauled off dead.” He also testified that Calvin Coggs and Henry Bell had fired on the Constable's party from the cornfield, Coggs using Rebecca Han- cock’s gun. He Seizes the Suspects. After securing these and other sta‘e- ments Sheriff Moore arrested Tandv Ferguson, Henry Bell, Isaac Coggs, Gus and Bob Richardson and Bud Shepherd as principals and Tandy Coggs, Will | Shepherd, Ed Jones and Sam Taylor (the | latter the only white man among the ac- cused) as accessories after the fact. When the preliminary hearing was ‘held the alleged accesscries after the fact were discharged, as, under the law |} they should have been indicted within three years after the commission of the crime. The others were held, “Bob” Richardson, in the 10 vears that hes passed since Constable Jones was killed, has forsaken evi} Ways and | taken to religion.

It will also solve the problem of suburban railway power. IT Is A CERTAINTY That enormous fortunes should be earned hy the Holcomb Engine Com- pany for the manufacture of the Holcomb Automatic Engine. This engine has been examined by experts and subjected to the most severe tests. Engineers, mechanics, machinists and technical men who have seen it in practical operation, are unanimously of the opinion that perfection in steam engines has been achieved. The experimental! stage has been passed because HOLCOMB engines are now in opera- tion, and a variety of types for various purposes are now being ex- hibited in Chicago. WE ARE MANUFACTURING THESE ENGINES NOW. We have more orders than we can fill with the present capacity of our factory. A new plant, complete with every modern improvement of mechanical appliances, is to be built immediately. It is to provide the funds for this factory that this stock is offered for sale at its present low price of 30c a share. With this plant completed, large and continuous dividends will be earned for our stockholders,” Just what those dividends will be can be judged from what is paid annu- ROR ally by the Bell Telephone Co., the American Lecomotive Works and skies Tate ae Ree 5 ee ? numerous othér companies which manufacture engines, machinery Se eas Saat Si, F and appliances for which they hold the exclusive patent rights; The ie Holcomb Automatic Engine Company owns all the broad and basia — patents, a8 well as those on the various essential parts, which allow ~ of it, and. £0 one else, to manufacture and sell a perfect rotating steam engine. roe Re sandy Pe » ae THIS IS A 4-HORSE POWER E © “ + os xh % S, SEE 2 ee Pe ae Se AO las ey CEAe * an re .

We are often asked: “Are you not afraid of the trusts and great coneerns now manufacturing engines?” We answer “No,” for the reason our engine has a field of its own. 75 per cent of the steam and gas emgine power of this country is represented by engines of from 2 to 75 horse power units. While millions of dollars are spent in developing economy in-engines of 1,000 to 10,000 horse power, littie or no thought or monéy has been applied to perfecting engines which go to the millions of users of small units.

EXPLANATORY. CABLEGRAM, March 23, told of the capture of a Standard Oi) steamer... A in the China Sea, by pirates. No details were given. Yesterday, upon the counter in the first floor of the Post-Dispatch office, was left, by some one. unknown, a manuscript of which the follow- ing is an unedited print.

**He smiled as I, startled, rose from my chair.’’ my journey, which is, in brief, to obtain from the Standard Oil Co. $1,000,000 in gold, and to bear it as ransom to a (hinese pirate chieftain. I say that it is not necessary that I conceal this. Rather, I think it a prudent course, in- asmuch as this publicity will in some way prepare the officials of this great company for my coming, that they may have counted and assorted into con- venient pareels the million of gold of which I have spoken. This prologue, tho’ tedious, appears to me not to be avoided. Now to my tale.

seems indigenous to my native soil, this commendable attribute often has been overwhelmed by a spirit of adventure. OT where this spirit has led me hereto- fore I shall not speak here. Suffice it for the present narrative that it led me, at last, to the employ of the Stand- ard Dil Co., in the capacity of captain of ome of their small but stanch steamers which ply along the coast of China, the “Octopus.”’ And I am going back, but nct——; but let that appear in proper sequence. Ten days ago we steamed from the

port of Canton, in the province of Kwang-Tung, bound for Amoy, some 300 miles to the northward. I had a crew of eight, in addition to two mates, an engineer, his assistant and three stok- ers. In all, we were 16. Of cargo we had none, save 100 rifles and adequate ammunition. Helping the Missionaries. ‘Vhese we were to deliver to an agent at Amoy, for distribution among mis- sionaries, who, being invited by the na- tives to leave the province of Fukien, had declined to do so. Though threat- ened, they had no thought of departing; nor were they to be discouraged by the reluctance of the heathen to change their belief. That, as they said, was to be expected. Indeed, I have found it true of all hu- man nature in my wanderings that it clings to no other possession so tena- ciously as to its particular belief, if an attempt be made to tear it away. Nor, paradoxical as it may appear, does hu- man nature seemingly value anything more lightly than this same belief, when it is left undisturbed. However, hence, as I have said, the rifles. That the Standard Co] should be s0o- licitous for the welfare of the mission- aries is not marvelous, in that they are the vanguard of commerce, First come the missions, then riots, afterward, troops of civilized nations; then, when quiet and order are restored, the Amer- ican and other merchants. My company,.therefore, spared no ex- pense in aid of the beleagued mission- aries: not, however, that the cost in this instance was heavy to us, it being shared by the agent of a great Ameri- can brewery. The delivery of the rifles. however, as but incidental. My mission was to deliver—but again must I ask patience, in that that which I was charged to deliver is the prime cause of my present journey and is best told of in its proper place. On the Deserted Island. We had sailed at night. -Before) morn- ing we were in the midst of a typhoon, which drove us 15 hours northeasterly, whereas our course lay due north. As the second night approached, land was sighted. I could not say with certainty what land it was, but as we approached, at a fearful speed before the storm, I 'made it out to be a small island—prob-

vee N. B, The pictures of Amassa Crab- tree in the accompanying cuts were drawn by the artist from the following data: Place and date of birth, name and temper- ament. The artist says that of these the name, perhaps, en- abled him more than any other to produce these excellent like- bhly one of those lying to the east of Formosa. Tho’ sorely taxed by wind and wave, the stout little boat still valiantly strove to follow the will of the helmsman. Thus were we enabled to skirt the isl- and. It was but’a small spot, and soon we had half encircled it. The island now served for us the purpose of those dou- ble rows of trees I have seen about farm homes on the Western prairies—it broke the force of the storm. In this calmer sea I was enabled to approach the shore closely, and was overjoyed to come upon a small but well protected cove. Soon we were riding safely at anchor. Here I determined to remain until the storm should abate. The island, it had Seemed, was deserted. For that reason. and because of the exhaustion of my men, I gave the order that all should turn in, leaving no one on lookout. Seon I, too, worn by my exertions, but now. relieved. from anxiety, was

sleeping soundly. CHAPTER IT]. | When I awoke, it was to gaze into the eyes of a Chinaman of considerable height and breadth, who stood before my bunk regarding me with a smile. For a moment I thought myself in Can- ton, where such a man is no uncommon sight. Quickly remembering, however, my situation, I sprang from my bed. “Who are you?’ I exclaimed. ‘And what do you here?’ ‘Dress,’’ said he, with his smile un- disturbed. I looked@upon him with beneath which my. anger fast. “And put into your valise-such cloth- ing as you may need during a some- what prolonged stay. You are to be Iny guest.’’ ‘Then did my choler break restraint.: I advanced upon with denunciation and amazement, was rising

With intent to do him harm; but my words and menace were checked by the sight of a large pistol which he drew from the folds of his gown. ‘‘Hasten,’’ he urged; ‘and please don’t Swear. Not only is profanity futile—it offends my ear.” “May I ask,’ I said, when I could again articulate, “‘what this extraordi- nary procedure portends?’’ The Pirate Ship. Tho’ I spoke quietly and with care to observe his injunction as to profanity, I ventured to put into my tone some- what of.satire. “I will gladly explain when we break- fast,’’ said he, courteously, his smile re- appearing. “My vessel lies also in this bay. Your boat is in charge of my men. I shall leave sufficient of them to take excel- lent care of the boat—and of your crew.’’ At this I quizzical. Puzzled, I gazed blankly at him, vain- ly searching in my mind for an explan- ation. Was he a Chinese official, or, perchance, a pirate? After all, it made but little difference. I was aroused thought his smile became from my pondering by another injunc-: tion to hasten. The tone was peremp- tory. Soon, clothed and with bag in hand, I preceded my, visitor to the deck. Here I found #'46zen or more Chinese, with one who seemed an oOffic2r. To him my captor spoke in his native tongue, of which I, of. course,’ could make nothing. My crew was grouped forward under armed guard. I noved to join them, but was checked by a pre- sented rifle. As I turned to protest to the officer, I stopped, transfixed:- Where I had ex- pected to find a Chinese junk, or at most an indifferent sailing vessel, I saw a@ magnificent steam yacht, of much greater burden than my boat, and, as I was to learn later, fitted with all that is known to modern shipwrights. The Pirate’s Story. I had iittle time to indulge my wonder. A boat was lowered and Li Chung (as he said he was named) and I soon were aboard his vessel. We proceeded directly to his cabin, which was furnished with magnificence. My host pressed an electric button, and, I suppose, ordered breakfast, as the eoolie who answered quickly reappeared with, a well-laden tray. If I had ex- pected the customary Chinese dishes, which I confess I cannot stomach, and

chop sticks, which would have been use- less to me, I was to be disappointed. The breakfast was one that might be served at the best of New York hostel- ries, and with Christian plates and sil- ver. ‘Be seated,” said Li Chung; ‘“‘or will you first have an appetiser? Rye, Bour- bon or Scotch? I do not use it myse'f but one must not forget that one may have guests.,”’ I selected Scotch. Then we made a hearty breakfast. Once, I attempted to return to his identity and purpose, but he courteously requested that we post- pone business until after the meal. When we had finished, he took from a compartment of the sideboard a box of excellent Havanas and offered it to me. I took one, but he closed the box and “eturned it to its place. It was evidént that my host did not smoke nor drink, and objected to pro- fanity. Evidently a man of morals, I thought, and the reflection.. somewhat cheered me. “And now,” I said, Seated, “‘who are you?” “I am aé pirate,” he answered sim- ply. He smiled as I, startled; rose from my chair. Tho’ this had been in’ my mind at first, it had been erased by my ex- perience with him. } “Bloodsheg Annoys Me.” “We boarded you in the. night,” he said. ‘‘You left no lookout, so our task was simplified. That was fortunate. I like to do everything peaceably. Blood- shed annoys me,”’ “A pirate!’’ I exclaimed. “Why, that is fmpossible! Pirates sail in junks, and have swords strapped around them, while you’’— I looked around his beautiful unable to proceed. “Such pirates,’’ said date. To be sure, when we were cabin, he, ‘‘are out of there. are some of them yet, but they are, to use an Americanism, pikers. To do. business on a large scale, one must use modern methods. I learned a great deal in your country.”’ “IT wondered,”’ said I, “where you quired your perfect Knowledge of English language.’’ “T am a graduate,’ he replied. “or ,’ mentioning one of our great col- leges. ‘“‘And, by the way,’’ he continued, turning to me with that now familiar smile, “I know one of your employers well. I often attended the Bible of young Mr. Rockefeller. It wag there that I learned that swearing was not only wrong, but-a prodigality of energy. ac- the

It was there, also, that I learned to ta hobby.’”’ said he, ‘‘to found and endow a college in my native city. I have also one of the best art collections, I. may say in China.

SUNDAY MORNING— ST. LOUIS POST- DISP A TCH—APRIt §, 1906

LABOR MEN IN PARLIAMENT SET PACE FOR WORK - wr

London Amazed at Transforma- tion in the Legislative Club House.

NEW MEMBERS ACTIVE

Cast Aside Traditions Which Held Them to Silence First Session. MANY MAKE SPEECHES

No Time for Other Work, and This Is Argument for Allowance. “LONDON, April 7.—London is looking with entonletiianeis at the transformation of the House of Commons since the en- trance of the new members, who display an unusual desire for work and to whom any waste of time appears very disiaste- ful. In previous times it was customary for young M. P.’s to be quiet for the first two sessions at least, but present new members have not respected this tradition. Of the 51 labor representatives in the House, 2% have made their maiden &peaches, although the House is yet in iis infancy. T. P..O’Connor says: “‘This is largely the result of the transformation which the new Labor party has brought into the House. When Keir Hardie was ab- sent at a Socialist congress in Brussels, Ramsey McDonald, a new member in the House, spoke for the Labor party with just as much self-possession as if he had been in the Honee of Commons for half a century—and spoke~-well in addition.’’ Well Trained New Men. Aside from the Labor representatives, as a case for the transformation of the House, comes the fact that there aré more journalists in the House at present than ever before, and also a number of young men who have been engaged in political: organizations. All these ele- ments*are:'so active ‘that the House looks more like a workshop than like a club, as in years before. This ts due to the efforts of the new members. “They bring,’’ says O’Connor, “a dead- jy earnest to their work. They hate the idea of time being lost. These young men full of apostolic fervor of youth and trained al! their lives in platform work, are also impatient of old tradi- tions, and hasten to the hour when they will be active leaders of the House. And ‘aa an example of how far they are justi- fied, there was a debate on the Agricul- tural bill brought in by Agar Robartes, himself quite a youth, and the remark of everybody was that it was one of the ‘best- debates the House had heard for some time.’ Earning the Salaries. _The reason for the motion for salaries to members is really the fact that work -has become s0 absorbing that the mem- bérs of Parliament cannot devote their time to other business. Previously law- yers could read their briefs in the House, but this 's practically impossible now. Journalists used to write their ar- ticles in the House, but today they can net do _ The work is too strenuous. “Add this,’’ says O’Connor, ‘‘the fact that the present members attend the House in an abundance and with a reguiarity that never was known before in its history, and you will understand y there should be this pressure for some form of remuneration, as the work has become so absorbing.” Mr. O'Connor believes that.in time the M. P.’s will get their $1500 a year. PREACHER FAVORS BLITICAL TREATS Is

Concrete Floor to Hold Prison- ers in Jail, Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOWLING GREEN, Ky.. April 7.— The -city .authorities, getting tired of having prisoners tunnel out of Jail, have ordered a concrete floor put in the City Jail. There was a time when the Mar- shal would notify the Police Magistrate to be ready for a full docket and when he would go to:bring in the prisoners to be «tried, would find an empty Jail with one large, rabbit-like hole to ex- plain the disappearance of the captives. The old floor was of ordinary boards, which rotted quickly and could not re- sist the combined efforts of prisoners.

Once the boards were loose. it was no task at all to dig a hole big enough. to crawl through, .A. concreat floor, of * sourse, will do away with this- method of easy escape. Besides this there were some complaints that wood floors are very unhealthy for prisoners. Now the prisoners’ health will be preserved and they will also be tn safe keeping to face trial when once locked in. 12,000,000 Candle Light. BERLIN, April 7.—A searchlight, in- vented by E.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST~-DISPATCH-—aprit s, 1906

~—DAVITT A TRUE ISH IRELANDER Walsh Defends “the Father of Land League’ Now Under Fire.

WHAT HE HAS DONE Cattle Tariff Question Raised and Irish Farmers Are on Anxious Seat, BY RICHARD D. WALSH. A Dublin newspaper—the Nationalist— is responsible for the statement that Michael Davitt is not an Irish Ireland- er. The principal reasons assigned for this charge are that Davitt does not speak in Irish at Irish meetings ad- dressed by him, and that’ he did not speak in Irish at meetings addressed by him in England during the recent gen- cral election. This is the most absurd as well as the most unjust statement that has been made by any Irish editor in a long time. There ‘s no man in Irish pubtic life today who is more entitled to be called an Irish lrelander than Michael Davitt. His claims to this distinction, Davitt himself modestly says, “‘are based on these, among some other facts: I was born-in Ireland and driven out of it. 1 returned, after a féw unpleasant cir- cumstances, unnecessary to mention.” One of the cirecumstancese alluded was his having spent nine years Engiish dungeon—Dartmoor, I _ be- lieve—for his having assisted in the movement to overthrow British rule in ireland, and to establish in its place an Irish republic. This tact alone. should be sufficient to qualify Davitt for the title of Irish Irelander. But there is much more {n the record of his life that not only clinches. his right to be considered an Irish Irelander, but places him head and shoulders above every man of his race, prominent in public life during the last half century. He was the founder of the celebrated organization calléd the Land League, which was the main instrument in the destruction of Irish landlordism,. which for centuries was the most ruthless and desolating factor in the life of Ireland. Charges Not New. To my personal knowledge— because l had the honor of being associated with him in the good work—he was, even then, charged with being not only not an Irish Irelander, but a ‘‘stroller’’ without character and without a cause. Previous to the organization of the Land League, Ireland lay in an industri- al and political stupor. The crops had been a failure and there was great sul- fering among the peasant farmers, es- pecially along the western seaboard. No matter what happened, the landlord must have his rent, even though the lit- ile farm did not produce sufficient food for the wants of the unfortunate occu- ler. Pit was at this time—April, 1879—that Davitt organized the Land League, which became the most powerful body that has happened in the contemporary life of-treland. The Land League put a new spirit into the people. Whenever or wherever a farmer met his landlord or his landlord’s agent, in sunshine, rain or snow, the poor serf doffed his hat, as if he had been in the presence of an emperor. If he failed to perform this act of homage, he was a marked man, anda on the first opportunity had to pay for his disrespect, eithér by a raise in his rent or similar petty tyranny. All that is changed now, the hat is doffed no more, and landlord and tenant meet to DEAFNESS Positively Cured In Your Own Home Ry a mild new method that removes the cause.

When Miss Hudspeth came to this town about five years ago for her health and secured control of the only news- paper in the vicinity there was nothing to indicate that she aspired to become the matrimonial dictator of the region. ' She ran the newspaper on a conserva- tive basis, but according to her own ideas, and made a success of it. When she took up politics and cleaned it up thoroughly, refusing to support bad candidates and publishing records, most of the men agreed she was about right and encouraged her to go on. When she took up one or two business enterprises and they became lucrative, the single men applauded and figuratively patted her on the back. But now that she has rolled up her sleeves and cast her gauntlet into the matrimonial game, the male element of the community has suddenly discovered that it has been stimulating the growih of a perpetual thorn. Stuart, Neb., is a quiet place, and there are numerous women here who would readily enter the bonds of matrimony, but not having the chance it seemed to Miss IHudspeth's feminine mind that she might be able to cure the evil by employing the power of the press. The Bachelors Retaliate. So every week when they pick up the Stuart Ledger they find its columns filled with taunting allusions to their single state, advice regarding their per- sonal conduct, and other matters which they regard outside. the sphere of a woman editor of a newspaper. It was irritating, though it was at first regard- ed as a joke. But Miss Hudspeth kept it up and then it began to look more serious. Something had to be done and they decided to carry the war into their enemy’s camp. Some of the business men withdrew their advertising. Then they laid down the ultimatum that their censor was not sincere unlesg she would take up the matrimonial burden she was advocating so strenuously herself. The controversy began to assume large proportions and attracted attention all through the West. Every newspaper in the Elkhorn Valley began to také shots at the situation in Stuart. The men of that town discovered that they were re- garded as the principal actorsin a farce comedy and they pitched into their ir- ritating opponent in earnest. When the advertising began to be withdrawn from the paper Miss Huds- peth was not daunted. “TI can get along without their patron- age a good deal easier than they can get along without advertising with me,”’ said she, “We've got to have a printing office, and we'll just start one of our own,” said the bachelors, and they imported a printer and an outfit and actually start- ed an opposition newspaper office to as- sist in their fight against being driven into matrimony—they also thought it might help some in making Miss Huds- peth take a husband herself and sus- pend her warfare. But she could fight some herself One of her principal ‘‘enemies” in the town was a real estate agent. Miss Hudspeth promptly opened a real estate office of her own, and through the advertising she was able to give her enterprise in her own paper she soon began to bulld She has sold farms + + os thelr that up a good business. and town and placing a number of farmers who looking for ‘‘snaps.’’ Then it was the shoe dealer's turn. The local monopolist of the shoe indus- try was a single man and one of the principal critics of Miss Tiudspeth. He had withdrawn h‘s ad to force Miss Hudspeth either to get married or to let up in her warfare against his sex.. Be- fore he knew it the plucky young woman editor had secured a stock of shoes from somewhere, opened up a place of her own, and the shoe man found that trade was being maddening, but lots has succeeded in are a large part of his taken anway. It was what could he do? Now the banker, the lumber dealer, and a number of other business men are wondering when their turn may come, and are trembling for fear their critic will embark in their own line of business. The editor of the Stuart Ledger is a versatile sort of person. She is prob- ably the only woman in the country who is editor, foreman and compositor at the same time. She also. tinds con- siderable time to devote to her real estate and shoe business. The political bosses find it wise to placate her just fete the campaign opens, te 4 far have. not yet found it ex @ matrimonial plank If some reform party should platforms, »ssible it would get do this, it is quite the support of the Stuart Ledger. Miss Jiudspeth got her training in Iowa on the Des Moines Capital, under the tutelage of Lafe Young. She is a prepossessing looking woman and should have no difficulty in securing a mate, but has managed to ward off all ap- proaches. ‘‘Almost every business man in town is a bachelor,’’ she says. ‘‘The banker is unmated. The real estate man and the money lender are bachelors. The City Attorney {s a single man. The telephone man is a dandy, and the big- gest merchant is yet running at large. or HEEERERe an unmated half confronts “Maybe you think an unmarried wom- an would be in clover fn that town where every man is unmarried. But she is not, just the same. That crowd does mot want to get married; and I deter- mined that they just should get wives. So I have been after them for months, drilling it into them that they ought to take unto themselves better halves. “Then, in retaliation, they have tried to make me get married myself. They did everything they could, and then they hit upon the idea of forcing me into bankruptcy and making me marry in self-defense. “But say, here’s a good one on that bunch, After I*' had worried the life out of them and teased them until they were nearly wild, they thought they had me. One day I was coming down the street and met one of the ‘big eight’ —cight prominent bachelors. “He said ‘Oh, Miss Hudspeth, please step into my office agmoment. I want |to talk business with you.’ “I went in—and there stood seven of those old bachelors. their faces wreathed in smiles. And the other took his place with them and there were all eight—the big eight. ; : “Then the spokesman began something like this: ‘You have been advising and bluffing us for a long time, madam. to get married. We have finally decided to take vour advice. Here we are—take your pick, and the one you choose will step right over to the courthouse, get the license, and we will get married in five minutes.’ And then they all grinned. ‘“‘T was up a stump for a minute. And then I started after them. I went over that bunch and gave my reasons for re- fusing to have any one of them. ‘This man drinks too much.’ I said. ‘And this fellow is too little and scrawny, This one is too fat; -this one is so stingy he would starve me to death; this man would work me to death’: and I named some reason why I would have to refuse each of them. And all the others knew my reason was good and valid in each case. All Respect Her. “After that I broke and ran away, and the way those fellows laughed at each other. They said it was too goud to be kept, so they all told on each other and the town guyed them for a month. “And it was right after that ‘pro- posal’ that those men sent away and got a man to come out here and start an- other printing office, and they withdrew their patronage from me—and all be- cause I just wanted them to get mar- ried.”’ Miss Hudspeth has a keen sense of humor and sees the fun in everything. While telling of her many rows with the bachelors of Stuart her laugh is most infectious. “While they fight me, vet every one of those old ‘baches’ has the utmost re- spect for me, I think. Why, a little while ago, after one of our very worst ‘spats,’ some fellow down at the hotel made a slighting remark of some kind about me. One of the bachelors took him by the collar and pitched him out the door. But they simply can’t help fighting, me on the matrimonial question.’’ Miss Hudspeth’s caustic | editorials once got her into trouble with the wom- en of Stuart, and only her great fund of humor got her out of it safely. The women formed a “woman's club,” and tn time there were two divisions of the organization. One division believed in dances and social events; the other took to banquets. Miss Hudspeth, charac- | | AT 85, HE TAKES S FIFTH BRIDE Then Walks Nearly Two Miles With Her to His Home. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., April 7.—Robert Stephens, 8 years old, of “Poosey,”’ has just married Mrs. Henrietta Brennum of Trenton. This is his fifth matrimoni- al venture. Mr. Stepliens has been a resident of Livingston County for the past 0 years. lie was born and reared in Jackson Township, in this county. He has been prominent in Republican politics and at one time was candidate for the Re- publican nomination for Representative. After the wedding the couple started for their home and he sent worg to his many friends to. meet him and his bride at the depot. . When the train slowed up at Hickory Station to let the bridal couple off, there were 100 enthusiastic friends of ‘‘Uncle Bob” there to give the bride a proper welcome and to congratulate the bride- groom. After receiving congratulations from their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Stephens i on their journey homeward, a mile’ and a half from the station, afoot. Although advanced in years, Mr. Stephens stepped off with the bride with a degree of activity which suggested that his years had not sapped his vigor. CLAIMS TOWNSITER, Special to the Post-Dispatch. LAPORTE, Ind., April 7.—Mrs. Ju- lia Bratton of South Haven, Mich., will become the plaintiff in an action to es- tablish her legal claim to the land upon which the town of New Buffalo, Mich., is built. Mrs. Bratton says her father, Adam Smith, who came to Michigan in 1837, was granted a patent to the land. The patent has since been lost, but the woman’s attorneys clafm evidence exists which will establish her claim. The land with improvements now has a valuation of several hundred thou- sand dollars. Eee ts seers terized the divisions as the ‘‘one that appeals to the heels’’ and the “one that appeals to the stomach.”’ And then both divisions got mad, sent a delegation to Miss Hudspeth and de- manded that she appear before the ¢lub and tell just what she meant by her characterization. The club women even threatened a boycott if it was not sat- isfactory. But the editor laughed the matter ‘‘out of» court’? and it ended in smoke. “But I'm going to keep right on ham- mering away at those vold bachelors until I drive them into the matrimonial state,’’ she says. “They all have mon- ey and are able to support families, and they've simply got to get married. And what's more, I don’t intend to let those fellows starve me into doing anything of that kind myself.” WOMEN WRECK BIG MOONSHINE STILL Wives Believed Husbands Neg- lected Them for Illicit Liquor Business, Special to the Post-Dispatch. MONTEREY, Tenn., April 7.—Mrs. William Walker and Mrs. Alex. Jack- son did in a few minutes what a force of revenue officers have been trying to do for months. With axes and picks they wrecked the moonshine still con- trolled by their husbands at Sand Springs, near here. They destroyed all of the beer and whisky on hand. It is generally believed the two men named above were not making their homes as happy as they might, and the twives attributed all of their unhappi- ness to the “mountain dew’’ which was being distilled by their husbands. It is also reported that the irate husbands proceeded to take their wives to task for their act, when the neighbors in- terfered and threatened severe punish- ment to anyone who dared punish the women for destroying the cause of their unhappiness, and restoring to the neighborhood the peace and quietude all neighborhoods enjoy where ‘white lightning’ flows not too freely.

RIED POTATOES ABSORBED POISON Three Women Il] From Drugs Thus Transferred to Table. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., April %7.—A mysterious case of poisoning has just developed in the family of George Worden. Violet and Mabel Worden, aged 12 and 14 years, ure thought to be dying, while an aunt, Miss Nettig¢ Swinford, is seriously iI. The manner in which the three ceived the poison can only be counted for in one way. Last tall Mrs. Worden, the mother of the two «iris, died from a peculiar disease— decaying feet. Liquids of the rankest poison were used in an effort to check the disease. After the death of Mrs. Worden the husband buried the bottles containing the poisonous liquid in the back vard of his residence. Later Mr. Worden buried a lot of potatoes within a few feet of where the poison was buried, and the attending physician says the potatoes absorbed the poison, and to this peculiar transfer is due the con- dition of the three women, re ee Footballer’s Amusement.

LID ON FISHNETS, Monster Jelly Fish Keeps Out Little Ones. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RICHMOND, Va., April 7.—The fish- ermen of Northumberland thhave been etricken with consternation by the ap- pearance in those waters of a strange sea monster, a sort of jelly fish, blood red in color, and about the size of the top of an ordinary cheese box. It dif- fers from other medusae in that it has no power to sting. Unresistingly borne by the rushing tides, it strikes the mouth of the bagnet or pound in which the fish are en- trapped. Here the tentacles cling to each side of the opening and complete- ly close it. It is then impossible to make a catch. Occasionally the crea- tures attach themselves’ the entire length of the net, and, as the meshes are thus closed, if a heavy wind comes the entire net is swept away. The fish- en are much depressed by its visita- on.

HIDDEN YEARS. OF PREACHER Death of Wife’s Mother Unites Rev. Condo and Mrs, Armen.

HE CHANGED HIS NAME

Desire to Escape Youthful Escapades Causes Him to Lose His Identity.

FOUND AFTER WEDDING

Wife Remains True to Desert- ing Husband, Who Be- came Himself Again.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBUS, Ind., April 7.—The death of Mrs. Mary A. Shuck, in this city, at the age of 74 years, reunites a husband and wife who have lived apart for sev- eral years, and it also reveals one of the strangest romances told in the lives of Indiana ministers. The story deals with the Rev. Adam Byron Condo, now a United Brethren minister at French Lake, Ind., and his wife, Mrs.- Lucretia 8. Armen, of this city. In 1884 Mrs. Shuck and her daugh- ter, Miss Lucretia, were living in Harts- ville, this county; when Asa Allan Ar- men obtained a position as music teach- er in the old Hartsville College Miss Shuck was interested in the same school, they were thrown together a great deal, Their friendship ripened into love and that year they were married.. Mr. Ar- men also had a license to preach in the lnited Brethren church, and composed a great many religious songs. Mr.-and Mrs. Armen lived at Harts- ‘ville until 1892, when Mrs. Armen ob- tained a position as instructor in lan- guages and history in the Columbus High School, a position she still holds, and the couple moved here. Youthful Seandal Revived. Rev. Mr. Armen joined the Indiana Conference of the United Brethren church after moving here, and in 1897 he had risen to the position of presiding elder when something happened which he explains was akin to blackmail, and he decided to leave this State. According to the story told by the min- ister he was guilty cf an escapade in his youth and decided that it would be better to change his name. Previous to coming to Indiana he went to Maine, where his name. was legally changed from Adam Byron Condo to Asa Allan Armen and it was under this last naine that he married. He had one brother, the Rev. Mr. Condo of Marion, and it came to his ears that his brother was preaching in Columbus and vicinity un- der assumed name. The brother looked into the matter and at length came here and found Mr. Armen. The brother, as well as others, were instrumental, it seems, in causing Rev. Mr. Armen’s sudden departure. Reports reached Mr. Armen which led him to believe that his wife knew she had mar- ried him under an assumed name and that she would no longer live with him. With that statement staring him in the face he resigned from the conference and left the State. Later he wrote his wife, telling her about the statements. ‘Gains Own Name Again. The Rev. Mr. Armen first went to Maine, where in the same court he had his name changed back to Condo, his right name. He then went to Texas and All this time Mrs. Armen was vainly When rs. Armen finally got into lanations followed, a@nd she asked im to meet her. Her mother, Mrs. Shuck, had taken a stand against her husband, and did not wish him to re- turn’and Mrs. Armen heeded her. Mra. Armen was loyal both to her husband and to her mother and re- spected her mother's wishes that her husband remain away. Mr. Condo, aa he fs now known, has made several] visits, here in the last few years, buf Mrs. Shuck did not know it and was content that her wishes were being respected. ‘Mr. Condo came here to attend the funeral of Mrs. Shuck, which occurred at Hartsville, the town in which the two were married. Mr. Condo will continue his work in southern Indiana until his time has expired, when he will come here and live with his wife. Mrs, Armen will have her name changed to Codhdo to conform with the name of her husband. ~ No blame attaches to any one con- | nected with the story. The conference has exonerated Mr. Condo from any charges. FATHER.SUES DAUGHTER. Wealthy Man Asks for Society Leader's Eviction. CINCINNATI, O., April 7.—The un- usual action of a father seeking to evict his own daughter:from a house owned by him was filed in Newport. The suit was brought by H. A.

Also self-cooling motors and generators guarantesd were tins eta out tor 3 years, I never made an ‘unsuccessful invention. 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 is! 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 manufacturing companies sold below 15 cents a share in 1893 and 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 crews 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 ih 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 Mctor 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.

He left for his work as usual, but On reaching the Clystal Ridge strip- Ping he proceeded to a small opening. Here he placed a stick of dynamite on his head, applied a match to a de- tonating fuse and a second later blew off his entire skull, the head be- ing found 50 feet away.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., April 7.— Returning home with medicine for his sick wife, Martin Holstead met with a serious injury. His horse slipped and fell on him, breaking his leg in two places between the ankle and his knee. He was about half way up a steep hill and no assistance was near. In the rain and through the mud the injured man painfully dragged himself until he reached the home of Herman Livingstone, 40 rods away. Although suffering terribly, and cov- ered with icy water and mud, he re- fused all attention until a messenger had been sent to his wife with the med- icine. DEATH WISH FULFILLED.

Kling does not emoke, drink, chew tobacro or swear and has never lost his temper but once or twice since being a member of the Chicago ball team. When ,it is. taken into consideration that a ball player is surrounded on all sides by people who are. centinually tempting. him to indulge in some of these habits the fact that a man has been able to keep himself clear of all these habits is considered . remarkable. Kling’s not having any of these habits is the reason for his always being in condition and lteing able ta work in so many games during the hard season, ‘Another cheracteristic of one of the greatest catchers in the business is that he always keeps cool under the most trying circumstances. His nerve never fails hiin and he is the eame calm dis- passionate person in defeat as he is in victory. His cool, calculating disposi- tion is what makes him so) strong as a pool player.

BILLIARD EXPERTS MEET MONDAY NIGHT

A New Championship Emblem to Be Competed For in Big Madison Square Garden Tournament in Play at 18-Inch Balk Line Game. Now that the billiard match for the world’s championship at 18.1 balk line is over, the next big carom event that looms up is: the rworld’s championship tournament at 18.2 balk line. This tour- nament will begin tomorrow night in Madis6n Square Garden Concert Hall, take up the better part of two weeks. Both William Hoppe, who retained the 18.1 championship by defeating George Slos- son last Tuesday night, and his late adversary, will play in the coming tour- | ney. The other players will be Jacob Schaefer, the Wizard, and one of the greatest billiard masters the game ever las known; Louis Cure, the French crack, who is practicing with Maurice Daly; George Sutton, an American, who has just returned from a long siege of academy playing in Paris; Orlando Morningstar, who also has played a good deal of-late in the Paris academies, arff” Aibeft G. Cutler, the 30ston professional. Kighteen-inch balk line, two shots in, fs a less difficult game than 18.1, for the simple reason that it permits of two shots in balk, whereas the other game allows only one. When. two shots in are allowed there is a chance to use one hot In getting in position to drive out. " 18.1 there is no preparatory shot. The falls must be sent out of balk at once. But if 18.2 is the less difficult game, it nevertheless is the more attractive—a prettier game, @ game more pleasing to the eye. It offers more opportunity for is better suited play and nursing. young to finessing, close There is not as much open play as in 38.1, and close play, with, of course, the restrictions preventing monotonous ral] nursing, wears better than open play. A new championship emblem will be competed for In this tournament. There je at present no 18.2 champion. The coming tournament will create one. The contests are to be 400 points long, with games afternoon and evening. Each entry has put up an entrance fee of $230. The promoters of the tournament put up a purse of $3000, to be divided as follows: Forty per cent to the winner, 2% per cent to the second man, 18 per cent to the third, 12 per cent to the fourth and 6 per cent to the fifth. The most conspicuous of all this high- class field—and it is doubtful if as strong an array ever was got together— is the boy champion, Willie Hoppe. Hoppe’s personality does as much to make him popular ag his success or his skill. Success has not changed him in the least from the quiet, modest youth he always was. He does not talk bil- liards unless the subject is broached to him. He never has an unkind word for an adversary, and anything approach- ing boastfulness is foreign to him. Hie is noticeably self-contained for one so young—he is still in his teens. He does not worry in the least what his op- ponent may be doing, for he plays his own game. There is no player on whom |, Safety tactics by an opponent have less ieffect. ‘‘He does not recognize safety at all,”’ says Tom Gallagher, who prac- ticed with him when he was preparing for Slosson. ished player that Frank Ives was. was the greatest billiard player ever lived. One of his characteristics was confidence. Hoppe has boundless confidence also, but it Is not as as- sertive as Ives’ was. lves was a more

systematic be, but no better executér. Hoppe has great faith in his execution, and has not especial desire to keep the balls close together. In fact, he plays more wide than close billiards. le has a sure touch, the peculiar uplift of the right arm giving the tip a downward motiop that seems to prevent a miscue. a capable all-around player, quick of pereeption and especially good on draws and masses. Accuracy on around the table shots is another of his strong points. ‘ The close players of the cofning tournament are Schaefer, Sutton, Cut- ler and Morningstar. When it comes to stroke and touch and dainty position nursing Schaefer is without a peer. He jands on the cue ball withia gauze-like contact, calculating distance to the in- finitesimal part of an inch. He has a wrist stroke the nearest to perfection of any billiardist, living or dead. He is a fast, daring player, the best masse player in the world, the most attractive figure at the table. He is original, re- sourceful, a billiard genius. never had but one ‘‘wizard.’’ Slosson is ‘the opposite of his lifelong rival. The speed of Schaefer is absent from the play of Slosson. What one does_by intuition the other thinks about. Slosson shoots with a stiff forearm and a rigid wrist. He does not care much for close counting, but gets the points all over the table. He is deliberate, painstaking, methodical. But he always is playing with hig head and is a fine general. He is very proficient at wide playing and cushion caroms. ; Louis Cure, the Parisian, is a giant, a man of Herculean frame, but who han- dles a cue with delicacy and grace. He weighs close to 250 pounds, he and Sut- ton being the heavyweights of the crowd. The Frenchman is a left-hander. He stands up straight at the _ table, keeps his cue going at a lively rate and has a pleasing stroke. There-is a bit of

wrist motion and the butt of the cue is held lightly between the thumb and forefinger.

Delightful Pastime Is Canoeing on Waters of Meramec River

3 ‘THE START”

GRAND NATIONAL _ THOROUGHLY TESTS EQUINE ENDURANCE

ge Race Won Last Wednesday by Ascetic’s Silver Was Run Over Twenty-Four Immense Jumps and Was Four Miles, Eight Hundred and Fifty-Six Yards in Distance—Some Great Performances Over the Course. The Grand National Steepiechase, de- cided Wednesday afternoon and won by Ascetic’s Silver, was the sixty-seventh renewal of an event which furnishes the greatest test of endurance racehorses are ever ‘put to. The exact distance of the race is four miles 856 yards and, to add to the difficulty of the task the winner must accomplish, the course lies for the most part not over a smooth racetrack but over a rough, natural country, the fences, which are marked by flags, consisting of the thick growing quick set hedges which abount the fields over which the course is laid out. These hedges are 10 in number and, as the competitors must encircle the country twice, they furnish 20 jumps. Besides the thorn fences two natural water courses, known as Beecher's and Valentine's brooks, intersect the coun- try. Both are some ten feet wide and guarded by high hedges. As they must be crossed twice, these brooks add four to the number of obstacles. After the first round through the country, the competitors reach the in- field of the racetrack proper, the dis- tance they travel over this being about a thousand yards. When covering it they must jump three stiff’ artificia] fences in addition to the big water jump in front of the stand. This is some eighteen feet wide and guarded by a thick hedge two feet high and twice as thick. The fgexr jumps last mentioned have only ‘alle negotiated once, as after encircling the country a second time the few contestant still on their feet strike the flat racecourse, which affords them a smooth run home of 800 yards. They must, however, cross two more jumps ere they reach the winning post and though these are only hurdles, they often prove fatal to the tired competi- tors. For the past 638 the National has been a handicap. The rules of the National Hurt Association, which goy- ern cross-country events in the same fashion as the Jockey Club does those on the flat, formerly. permitted no horses running under their jurisdiction to carry less than 140 pounds, but de- vpite the magnitude of the task set them, heavily weighted horsés always showed so well in the steeplechase Der. by that recently a concession was made lacing the minimum weight in races onger than three and a half miles at 123 pounds, in order to prevent the handi- cappers from allotting too crushing bur- dens to the champions. Despite the changes that great Irish chaser, Manifesto, was weighted at 18] pounds four years ago. The son of Man at Arms had, however, earned this heavy burden, as he won the race from 27 opponents in 1897, with 157 pounds up and two years later was again suc- cessful, though carrying 175 pounds. Even with the apparently § Impossible load of 181 —— he finished a bang- up third, the performance being the years, more remarkable as he was then in his l4th vear. Probably an-even better performance was that of Cloister, which in _ 1894, when 9 years old, won eased up by 20 lengths, though carrying 175 pounds, in the remarkable time, 9:424%, which is and probably always will be the time recoru for the race. Possibly a better horse than either of these noted cham- pions was The Colonel, which won twice in succession—1869-70. in the records as a half-bred, this horse was really by Knight of Kars, a full brother to Stockwell, and but for his premature death might have proved in- valuable for stud purposes, CHESS MASTERS TO MEET IN JUNE NEW “YORK, April 7.—Lasker, Mar- oczy and Marshall have accepted invi- tations to participate in the limited mas- ters’ tournament of the Ostend Chess Congress. That Janowski and Schlech- ter also will be there is a foregone con- clusion. Now, if Dr. Tarrasch considers it safe to leave his patients for a month, there will be a. two or three round chess con- test in June almost as interesting as a match for that world’s championship which appears to be tied up by a 99-year lease. Lasker and Maroczy cannot pos- sibly meet until after the Osten con- gress, as the former still is in the South and the latter, now in Philadel- phia, intends to go as far north as Manitoba. Dr. Tarrasch says Maroczy gave him (under seal of strictest confidence) a move for white to demolish a variation of Sicilian defense. He tried it on Mar- shall in the late match and nearly came to grief with it. So he did not think highly of it and so stated in his anno- tations to the game. This aroused Maroczy, and he promptly challenged Tarrasch to play a match from that po- sition. and offered him all kinds of odds. The doctor. however, says it would kill him to play game after game from a certain position and suggests instead a regular match on the same terms as his match with Marshall, always provid- ing, however, that it must not interfere with a match with Lasker which might be arranged in America or Germany.

MERAMEC CANOEING A PLEASANT PASTIME

—a 5 a

Exercise Is Most Beneficial and Healthy, and the Scenery Is Very Beautiful—Many Young Men of St. Louis Enjoy the Sport. The Hudson River, in all its grand- eur, is scarce more beautiful, than parts of the Meramec. Indeed, the bluffs of the latter are worthy of boast, rising almost sheer from the river. For the inost. part the hills are long and regu- lar and the slopes require stairways to be easily surmountable. Appreciating the natural beauties of tnis river, it seens strange that when the project of building the home for a canoe club beside’ these hills was first broached that it. met with more dis- approval than approbation. Predictions were rife of the ultimate destiny that awaited the promoters, and the original incorporators were esteemed enthusiasts with impractical vagaries. Today the ‘little clubhouse that was the first motive offering in this part of the country to canoeing, has been sup- ylanted by a handsome two-story build- ing, not too spacious nor too small, in which the 1906 members tive and ride, eross-country riding in winter and ca- noe in summer. The organization that:inaugurated ca- noeing on the Meramec is known as the Meramec Canoe Club, with headquar- ters at Valley Park, Mo. Its present officers are: David Fentress, an ardent and enthusiastic sportsman, who is also vice-president of the Missouri Athletic Club: vice-president, J. Arthur Corbett, secretary, J. Benoist Carton; treasurer, W. W. Boyd Jr.

is The clubhouse situated on a high knoll of ground that commands an ex- cellent view of the surrounding country. In front of the clubhouse is a creek of about 100 yards in length that leads to the Meramec River, this waterway be- ing for the sole use of members of the club. There are 100 members at pres- ent, with a waiting list of 20, and in the boathouse there are 75 canoes of ce- dar, canvas and aluminum housed for the convenience of the members. Followers of canoeing are noted for their passionate devotion to the sport, and it is the practice of many of them to journey to Pacific, Mo., via the Fris- co'or the Missouri Pacific and float down the Meramec to Valley Park in the silent watches of the night, a dis- tance of about 30 miles. The rapids of the river lends just enough peril to the pastime to interest the enthusiastic and to quicken the pulse of the sportsman who cannot be moved by the cry of ‘“Fore’’ or.the pop of the racquets. Prominent among the members of: the club are W. F. Benoist, F. W. Boogher, Howard Kehde, Forrest Ferguson, Hen- ry ’. Ferris, E. M. Grossman, Sears Lehmann, Garfield J. Taussig, Saun- ders Norvell, C. Hunt Turner, Karl Hoblitzelle, Amedee V. Reyburn Jr., Jo- seph O'Neill, L. W. Van Cleave, Hugo Koehler, Vilray P.: Blair and Alexander Galt. Gwynne Evans, Mark Schwartz, Frank Schreiner and John Morrison are among the followers of the sport, who are not bound to canoeing by any club ties. but are nevertheless numbered among those who find the clutch of the current and the quiver of the boat as they drive it over a rapid, of more heart-stirring interest than the prosaic “chug’’ of an _ automobile bounding along at a 50-mile-a-minute_ pace.

SPRINTER PARSONS GIVES GREAT PROMISE ae _ vs

Keen Critics Think That the Wisconsin Runner Possesses the Con- stituents of a Real Champion—His Power and Speed Are Remarkable. Keen critics like Paul Dillon, Theodo- ric Bland and Bob Leacock, who at- tended the games of the St. Louis Uni- versity meet, herald a coming world’s champion sprinter in. C. L. Parsons of the University of Wisconsin, who com- peted in the 50-yard dash, then with- drew. There are many who believe he is by all odds the fastest man ever seen in the West, while not a few are cer- tain that in the course of time he will made by Arthur Duffy, but ruled out do the century in § 3-6s—the time once by the A. A. U. after Duffy's exposure of his: professionalism. Athletic official of St. sity and the athletes themselves were taken with the form of the Badger freshman, and all have expressed them- selves with open wonder at his speed. Those who had not seen him in action before, and who generally believed that he was overrated, were forced to admit that he was more than they had hoped to expect. Charlie Reber declares that is a human locomotive in his speed and action. “Parsons has a powerful build’ and wonderful speed,'’ says Mr. Reber. “He works like a locomotive and once under way is a terror. His greatest fault at present seems to be a lack of speed in starting and getting under way. his is due, perhaps, to his great size. But, of course, he can get over this. Prac- tice and coaching will bring him out strongly in this department. ie: “Parsons has the ‘making of a 95-5s sprinter. If he improves his starting so that he can get under way inside of 360 yards, which is the distance it seems that it now takes for him to get up his steam, he will get inside that coveted 94-56 mark. The driving power of Par- sons is certainly phenomenal.” Many critics were most impressed Parsons |

Rushing Water Carries Line 3 4 and Flies Into Good Casting. eet In fly fishing it is best to enter & stream at the head of a rapid, as the rushing water will soon carry the line — and flies into good casting. It is im the swift current that trout of medium | size are gererally found feeding. If there are any rocks protruding out of : s the water, drop the filles in back of them, as it is there the trout Ie mn wait for any bug that may be washed into the eddy that the rock forms. At the end of a rapid there is usually a — pool. Approach this with the greatest of care. After fishing the head of the pool — go ashore and walk out about 2 feet from the edge of the bank, making « half-circle to the lower edge of the pool. Enter the stream again and cast up to- ward the head. In casting against the current keep the line as taut as possi- ble, else it will be impossible to hook © fish when it strikes. Almost any fly rod is suitable for this fishing and the higher the price the more elasticity its te be had, which is essential for making good casts with the artificial fly. For bait fishing the cheaper grades are suit- able. If the streams that are to be fished are wide a rod of nine or ten feet is best, but for narrow streams that are brushy a rod of six or seven feet will be convenient to work through the brush. In the narrow, brushy streamé fly fishing is seldom tried, as it is al- most impossible to make any casts.

OARSMEN PLAN = ¥ a». +

ry Scullers Say That the Season of 1906 Will Be the Briskest Ever Known in the History of Rowing on the Mississippi. Oarsmen are planning to inaugurate the sculling season of 1906 next Sunday afternoon. It is probable that a num- ber of shells will be seen on the river this afternoon, if the weather is at all propitious. As is usual at this time of year, when the vernal impulse moves us, the scullers say that the coming season will be the most successful as well as the largest that devotees of the sport have ever enjoyed hereabouts. They cite the number of regattas that have already been arranged for the sea- son and the probable adoption of the idea broached by John H. Schaab, pres- ident of the Southwestern Rowing As- sociation, of individual clubs being al- lotted a date on which to give a tour- nament of their own to prove thelr ar- gument. The tremendous interest being taken in the sport is evinced by the action of several of the local clubs In calling on Congressman Bartholdt to ask the Unit- ed States Government for an appropria- tion for the dredging of Creve Coeur Lake, the only body of water in close proximity to St. Louis that affords a chance for the proper exercise of an oarsman’s skill. It is pointed out that the expense would not be over $10,000, and as the lake belongs to Uncle Sam, its improvement will probably be made if the matter is presented in the proper councils. ‘ At present it is a fact that rowing in light-oared shells at Creve Coeur Lake Is a hazardous undertaking. Even in the deepest parts of the lake one has but to dip one’s oar in the water to have it entangled with slime that makes speed an impossibility and accident more than a mere probability. An instance of the lll tie Mt ‘Fi aw. danger of rowing in the lake occurred last year during the Western nearly in midlake.

Missouri-Illinois Organization to Open Season April 22—Staunton and Gillespie to Celebrate With Special Ceremonies. On April 22 the fourth season of the Missouri!-lllinois Baseball League will be inaugurated. This organization, which is essentially a St. Louis institution, has in its three years’ existence done more to promote baseball and put it on a solid organization system than any other league of its kind in the history of ama- teur and semi-professional baseball in this tion of the country. Thd¢ two new Illinois members, Gilles- pie ahd Staunton, have shown remark- able énterprise and civic pride in their respective cities. The former team, w will be managed by M. P. Ber- gah, is well financed, and is controlled byfthe leading business men of that en- tefprising mining city. The secretary, Mr. J. E. Bycroft, is a son of Mayor Bycroft, and the treasurer, Mr. Pinker- ton, is one of the largest general mer- chandise storekeepers in that city. They have spared neither money nor time in getting together a team which will be hard to beat. John Tully of St. Louis will be the captain, while Gerald Shea, who has refused a contract with the Decatur (Ill.) Club of the Three-Eye League, will do the catching. Miler and Fanning, two of the best-known pitchers in Central Illinois, will do the twirling. The rest of the team will be selected from the following players: Lit- tlejohn, B. Delaney, Bycroft, Etlers, A. Delaney, O'Neil, Doyle, Fatlock and Bergan. The fans feel confident that this team will come very near landing the pennant. Great preparations have been arranged for the opening game. A band has been secured and speeches will be made by President Peter R. Gunn, presi- dent of the Missouri-Illinols Baseball League; Mayor Bycroft, William Mounts of Carlinville, Ill., and several other prominent citizens. The game will be preceded by a street narade. Staunton, Ill., the other new member, is not to be outdone In the matter of having a well-equipped baseball park— the owners have built a grandstand which will seat a thousand comfortably and they will have one of the best dila- monds in Illinois The club is wel financed, and is owned and controlled by Hon. George H. Luker, Mayor of the city. Staunton has always had the rep- utation of having one of the best teams in Central Illinois and this season it is going to surpass anything it has at- tempted in the past. Pitcher Jokerst of last year’s. Collinsville team, who made such a wonderful record against all St. Lowvis clubs and who is at pres- ent being given a trial with the Cardl- has been gecured.

Nevada is now the Mecca toward which all Gold Worshipers are hastening. Their pilgrimages are not in vain, the mountains and deserts are rich in gold and treasures.

The unparalleled prosperity of the mining industry at the present time is attracting world-wide attention; people are beginning to realize that fortunes and competency can he acquired by investing in Mining Stock. In fact, the number who are realizing this and profiting by it is daily increasing. They know there is an element of hazard in every business venture but not as great a risk in mining as has been imagined in the past; continued successes have taught them that mining as a business, that improved machinery, scientific knowledge in business management places mining on as safe a basis-as the or- dinary business enterprise; also that thousands of people are acquiring wealth by judicious investments in Mining Stock, the result of their co-operation in the development of meri- torious profits by ably eonducted enterprises. ee e, | sib i cei ce tli a ge a sl THE GOLDFIELD SECURITIES SYNDICATE CO. DENVER, COLORADO Capital $3,000,000. Par Value of Shares, $1 Each Absolutely Non=-Assessable. No Personal Liability to Stockholders. Investment in Mining ebbs and flows and has its slack tides when there is nothing whatever doing. At present the tide is evidently on the flood for this class of investment. Judging by the millions of shares of stock in Mining Enterprises that are being sold every week, tremendous profits have been made by thousands of stockholders that have had the grit to invest their money in Nevada Stocks. ) $100 bought 100 shares of the Tonopah Mining Company’s Stock of Tonopah, Nevada, in 1901; that stock is now worth $1900, $100 bought 1000 shares of Tonopah Extension Stock in June, 1902, 10e per share, now worth $12,500. — re sent Price $320 bought 1000 shares of Tonopah Midway in November, 1904, now worth $2600. $250 hought 1000 shares of Tonopah Belmont in 1902, now worth $5900. $250 bought 1000 shares of Montana Tonopah in 1902, now worth $3000. $170 bought 1000 shares of North Star in November, 1904, now worth $650. $150 bought 100,000 shares of Goldfield Mining Company’s stock in 1905, now worth $67,000. | $120 bought 1200 shares of Sandstorm in November, 1904, now worth $2400. | I could mention a number of other stocks in these fields that have advanced as rapidly as the above mentioned.

Now, 1n order to eliminate all risk as much as possible, also to take advantage of the enormous profits that are being made by. ad er investing in the Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog and Manhattan stocks the Goldfield Securities Syndicate Company, with an Advisory ~ hare Board of fifteen gentlemen, with myself as Chairman of this Board, was organized for the purpose of buying stocks in all of the various good companies of the districts mentioned, besides in other good propositions that can be picked up at any time through- out this country. This company already owns stock in forty-five different companies, ranging anywhere from 100 shares to 150,- 000 shares each. Some of these companies have so far produced from $500,000 to over $1,000,000 in gold; others are producing ADVA N CE now and many of them will soon be paying dividends. The Goldfield Securities Syndicate Company also organizes mining com- panies, becoming fiscal agent for same, and carries large blocks of stock im each one of the companies they organize. There are thou- . : sands of people throughout this land who desire to make money, but they have not the time to investigate the number of propositions | : that are brought to their attention,nor the time to look after the investment when made. To all these I would say, I believe this company

is formed on the safest plan of anything I have ever known. We have facilities for investigating and we have selected some of the very choicest investments, and every stockholder I have (which are legion) who has placed in my hands amounts ranging from $10.to. | $50,000 for investment knows full well that they can trust me with every dollar they possess. I have met with wonderful success for . them as well as for myself in the past, and if my stockholders and the investing public will stick to me in the future and rely upon Pe r Cent in Few Day S my judgment and will entrust me with their money, I promise (if possible) I will more sacredly guard their interest than I will my own, and I believe that before January, 1907, they will have just cause for saying that I have not betrayed their trust. - | Remember, the Goldfield Securities Syndicate Company’s Stock today ean be bought at the remarkably low price of 10 cents per share, and the next advance will be 50 pe? cent, or 15 cents per share, and I firmly believe this company will pay dividends during the present vear. I would urge every person that has ever made inquiry in regard to’ any proposition I am handling, and every person who desires to make a first-class investment to take my advice and buy all the stock you possibly can at 10 cents per share. I would also have you to remember that when you buy Goldfield Stock at 10 cents per share you are buying an interest in forty-five different companies, and it is a matter of im- possibility for all of them to fail, and as these companies produce and pay dividends to us, we will pay those dividends to our stockholders. In conclusion I would call your atten- tion to the fact that when you buy a share of Goldfield Securities Syndicate Stock at 10 cents per share you are paying a great deal less for a share of stock in a company interested in a large number of companies than you often pay for a share of stock in one company alone, or possibly in a mere prospect. I repeat what I have said in another part of this letter, I know of no company founded upon such a solid basis as this company, and I cannot recommend the purchase of this stock too highly. | would advise every person to get in this company quickly. Send me your check or New York Exchange or Postoffice Order for all you can earry from $10 up to $10,000. I don’t care to sell anyone less than 100 shares for $10 nor more than 100,000 shares for $10,000, as this company shall forever be controlled by its stockholders. I believe that I can safely assure you of as much in dividends annually as you are now paying for your stock. The Goldfield Securities Syndicate Company, with 3,000,000 shares capitalization and owning an interest in forty-five different propositions, still has over 2,000,000 shares of stock in its treasury, so you see we are in first-class condition. Please bear in mind that all checks must be made payable to me; all communications and orders addressed to me as the Fiscal Agent of this company. ° Trusting that all who may read this letter will take my advice and buy the stock I have recommended, and assuring you that I will appreciate your confidence and pat- ronage, I am, Yours successfully, , + APPLICATION BLANK W p i sii j A t OFFICERS: ye ee - + [- ) e 8 ae Pe * e 9 | has Cal pa | ane rruet ‘Con Denes Gam ad Dh kp aes wii Vice-Presi- en Capitalist, Painsville, Ohio. an) 920-27 Missouri Trust Building, a ST.

AW WILL NOT ATTEND: DINNER HONOR Secretary of Treasury Decides to Withdraw Acceptance of Invitation.

SENDS WORD TO AKINS

National Committeeman Says It Is Not Settled Yet, but Won't Explain.

AFRAID OF SQUABBLES R. C. Kerens Sends Letters of Acceptance,. Taking Shot at Niedringhaus. —_-

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw will not attend the banquet to be given by the Missouri League of Republican Clubs April 26, according to press dispatches last night from Washington. It was said at the capital that Mr. Shaw had wired his decison to National Committeeman Thomas J. Akins. Mr. Adkins said to a Post-Dispatch reporter last night: “It isn’t definitely settled whether Mr. Shaw will come or not. That is all I care to say at thi stime.”’ In Washington it is said that Mr. Akins is expected to explain to the league the reasons actuating Mr. Shaw in refusing to attend and to gracefully pave the way for the letter of declina- tion which will. be read at the banquet. It is said, on Secretary Shaw's behalf, that when he accepted the invitation he understood that he was to make a Re- publicah speech to Republicans. It was news to him that the affair was to be nonpartisan. Furthermore, it is said, Mr. Shaw is disinclined to be made a factor in political squabbles in Missouri. Friends of State Chairman Niedring- haus said yesterday that a majority of the members of the State Committee, 1 addition to the leaders in all the city wards,. had decided not to attend the dinner. Sim Harris, secretary of the Missouri Republican League, is not worrying over the possible list of absentees. He said he had received no intimation that Mr. Shaw would not come. ‘We will have accommodations for about 300,” said he yesterday, ‘‘and al- ready the requests for invitations to the dinner exceed 400. | Prominent Men Expected. “National Committeeman Akins, ex- Mayor Cyrus P. Walbridge and others equally prominent in Republican coun- cils in Missouri, will be on hand. I am sorry for Tom Niedringhaus. As I said before, he won't be missed. But I guess his declination to be with us means there is to be trouble in the ranks. “Too bad, isn’t it, that the ‘Mysterious Stranger’ should receive guch a jolt ere his presence in the State is beginning to be felt?’’ Col. Kerens returned to Sst. Louis yesterday from an extended trip to the Pacific Coast. He said to a Post-Dispatch reporter th t he. would attend the Shaw din- né., whether Mr. Niedringhaus liked it or not, and in spite of the fact that the State Chairman felt deeply wounded because there of . presence Kerens Urges Harmony.

CHICAGO, April’ 7.—John Dowie, who up to last Sunday when he was deposed from the leadership of the Zionites, had controlled millions of dollars worth of. property, is now said to be in need of funds. A telegram was received at Zion City tonight by Deacon Wilhite from San Antonio, Tex., asking him to meet Dowie in St. Louis Mon- day night and to bring $500 with him.

The telegram was signed by Deacon Lewis, who is traveling with Dowie from Mexico. After the request had been made by Lewis for funds Gladstone Dowie said that his father has no money aside from the Zion property and intimated that Dowile’s personal expenses in Mexico are being paid out of the Mexican plantation fund. If Dowie is in financial straits, as the telegram from Deacon Lewis would indicate, he stands little chance of receiving any great assistance in Zion City unless there is 4 decided change of sentiment in his behalf aft- er his arrival in Illinois, as he was repudiated tonight by a majority of the creditors of Zion, who met Shiloh’s Temple at the call of General Overseer Voliva.

Voliva asserts that the total amount which Dowie misappropriated is $2,529, 000. .The new commander-in-chief sur prised the officers of the church by @ general attack on al Ithree of the Dowie family for extravagance. He declared that $150,000 had been squandered on Ben MacDhui, Dowile'’s Michigan estate and he called upon Mrs. Dowie, if she were sincere in her declarations, to sell the property and turn the proceeds into the church treasury. Hé also declared that she should sell all her jewelry, including a $100 brace- let given her, by her husband. Mrs. Dowie replied that she would not do it. Mrs. Ware’s Exposure. There is considerable talk in the village during. the day about Dowie’s return. One woman, who lately had a long talk with Mrs. Ware’s mother; thought she could tell pretty nearly what would appear in Mrs.’ Ware’s pro- jected book, ‘‘Eighteen Months in Zion, or Dowieism Exposed.” Mrs. Ware is now in New York and was excommunicated by Dowie a year ago last December because she pub- licly criticized his polygamous teach- ings. ! ‘Mrs. Ware will go into that matter fof the seven wives pretty thoroughly,” this woman said. ‘The way she tells it, according to her mother, there were originally’ to have been sent vestal vir- gins who were to have come trooping in after Dowie when he opened service. They were to have been: clothed in long white robes with their hair hanging down their backs and, if I recollect it rightly, they were to have carried torches. “Now Mrs. Ware was suspicious of this vestal virgin project. Mrs. Ware went down to the Chicago public library and looked up about vestal virgins and she came back thoroughly aroused. She learned that in Corinth in the first cen- tury there were some vestal virgins who stage at. the Garrick Theater while the ‘of the insulation of a Wire above-the Jeff DeAngelis Delivered Mon- ologue as Hands Fought Flames, .. .

The présence of mind of Comedian Jefferson de Angelis directed the atten- tion of the audience from a fire on the final scene of ‘‘Fantana’’ was being en- acted last night. While a little tongue of flame licked the top of the. proscen- ium arch and an automatic fire éxtin- guisher spattered drops of water over the stage he kept up a running fire of impromptu witticisms which. prevented the company from making a hasty exit and kept the audience in their seats. The fire was caused by the burning ‘off stage. It was not discovered until the heat caused the cap of the automatic sprinkler to fiy off with, a noise like that of a popgun.

SUNDAY MORNING— INC-ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —APRIL 8, 1906

SENSA TIONAL CHANGES IN STANDING OF CONTESTANTS IN THE POST-DISPATCH PUBLIC SCHOOL ELECTIG ~ Central High Passes Sumner by a Few Votes, Clinton and Cote Brilliante Come Up From Behind and Take First Places.

ONLY ONE WEEK MORE OF BALLOTING.

With the Printing of the Ballot in the Next Sunday Post- Dispatch the Con- test Will Come to an End—There Is Still an Even Chance for All. Only one week more of voting and then the Public School election to de- cide where the Post-Dispatch gifts of statuary shall be placed will be ended. The last ballot will be printed in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. The tellers who are counting the bal- lots cast by the Public School pupils and their friends prepared a statement of the standing of schools as shown by their record at 9 o’clock last night. It contains several surprises. In the High School class there was a shift. The Sumner High, which is the, colored school, led a week ago, but last night the record showed that it had fallen below Central High. The excess yote of Central over Sumner is, how- ever, very small, and could be over- come by one industrious oahild. Friends of Sumner, realizing ,that that school has an excellent chance to win, are determined that it shall win. Colored men of influence and standing in business, in professions and pastors of churches are urging their people to gather ballots for Sumner. Before the end of this week the colored shigh schoo] may be in the first position again and to stay. The energy of Sumner's friends will overcome any but the most enthusiastic support of the larger white school. It is energy and enthusiasm that counts at this stage of the election. Only those sahools will win that have teachers and pupils who love their school well enough to work for it. Last week Clay led its group of dis- trict schools, with L’Overture, Madison and Shields following in the order named. Clinton has jumped into the lead this week, with Clay, L’Overture and Madison following. Last week Clinton seemed out of the race, but in seven days she has gone to the head We artes aa Be FASCINATING ELEGANCE OF POSTURE | Y!

This week Cofe Brilliante jumps into the lead, Fremont takes second place, Riddick is third and Marquette is fourth. Another example of energy and enthusiasm. Eugene Field and Dozier qre close to Marquette and the distance between these and those at the top is not great. Next week there may be a different story to tell. | A new school may come into the lime- light as a leader. Crow was not even second in its class last week. Carr Lane led that class Now the order is Crow first and Chouteau second. The total number of ballots counted up to 9 o’clock last night was 1,462,822. This is a large vote, but it will be very much increased before the close of the election. Every school pupil and school friend has the same opportunity to se- cure ballots. Money doesn’t talk in this election. There can be nro stuffing of the ballot boxes with purchased votes. The Post-Dispatch and its agents will not sell bundles of papers to ballot col- lectors. Ballots must be gathered from papers in- the hands of regular patrons of the Post-Dispatch. This makes ‘the public school election distinct from all ballot plans, and equalizes the chance school to win no matter how poor or how wealthy its patrons or its opponent’s patrons are. Below is a detailed statement of the schools’ standing at 9 o’clock last night: In the High School class, which in- cludes Central, McKinley, Yeatman and Sumner, the following lead in the order named: CENTRAL. SUMNER. In the clas sconsisting of the follow- ing district schools—Jackson, John Mar- Shall, Adams, Eliot, Ashland, Bryan Lincoln, Garfield, Peabody—which are contending for two groups, the follow- ing schools lead, in the order named: LINCOLN.

Instead of closing at 10 o'clock they have kept open until 11 o'clock, closed the front door, pulled down the blinds and admitted customers through side entrances.

Spring sickness comes to everybody.

This low condition of the system is known by the presence of pimples, boils and other eruptions, loss of appetite, bilious turns, — fits of indigestion, headache, backache, that tired feeling and gen- eral lassitude, and it is a condition that is fraught with -— because if not corrected it brings on more serious troubles which | become chronic and often imperil lite itself.

CONFLICT OVER ‘DATE

Netherlands, the Host, Wants July, but Pan-American © Conference Interferes.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 7.—The Rus- sian note to the Powers on the subject of the second peace conference at The Hague gives the Emperor full credit for the initiative, not mentioning President Roosevelt’s preliminary step in this di- rection. The introduction to the ddcument is in striking contrast to the invitation to the original conference of 1898, which poin- ed out how the increasingly expensive armaments were weighing down the various nations and threatening the world with a gigantic catastrophe and made a noble anpeal for a general. dis- armament in order to substitute’ for the era of armed peace an era of peace based upon the settlement of interna- tional disputes by the justice of arbi- tration. Not only does the second invitation not press the idea of disarmament, but it distinctly excludes it from considera- tion. UNITED STATES ASKS CHANGE FROM JULY. WASHINGTON, April 7.—The State Department has suggested to the Rus- sian Government, through Ambassador Rosen, that the period suggested.in the Russian note for the convention of the second Hague canference, namely, the early part of July, would be incon- venient to America, and to some of the ether -ceuntries...of this . hemisphere which had expected to be represented hat The Hague. The ‘reasoh for this action was to avoid a conflict with the Pan-American Congress, which has been set for July 21 next andifor the possibly more im- portant reason that matters will come before the Rio Janiero Congress which it is desired,- ultimate'y, to submit to The Hague, The Pan-American proposition which, 4 according to the present program, will ze submitted to The Hague are: .Formation of a general arbitration con- “hat could be approved and put tion. by every country. “.

It is said that the month of O¢tober is pleasant in Holland, but Washington has not suggested this or any date, but may do so later when the desires of other governments are known. ‘Rumor that Russia had any thought of preventing South American republics from taking part in The Hague Con- ference by suggesting July as the time for holding the conference are without foundation,’’ said Baron Rosen, the Rus- sian Ambassador, today. “Russia took the initiative in inviting the Latin- American republics to participate in The Hague conference, and shea would cer- tainly do nothing to prevent their repre- sentation. ‘July was suggested by Russia after consultation ‘with the Netherlands, the power which is to act as host. Of course, the Netherlands {fs the first country which should be considered, fur it is to undertake the entertainment. There was no thought that The Hague convention would in any way interfere with any other convention if fixed for July.”’ HYPHOTISM FILLS THE BLANK YEAR Sailor Who Lost Memory in Fight Remembers Un- der Control.

ee Press, | ZULU STUDENT THE REAL DEMOCRAT IS THE WESTERNER NT SAYS

By Leased Wire From the New. York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 7.~—To a writer for the Post-Dispatch the young Zulu who has just won the nn contest at Columbia spoke as follows “IT am the son of teaka Ka Knawana, and, while not a Prince, I am ,of the roy al Zulu blood. My tribe and the tribe of my father is settled in Natal, South Africa. “My father is not a Chief, but one of the leading men of his tribe. He never saw a white man until he was grown, but, once brought into contact with civ- ilized men, he was quick,sto grasp the fact that they were superior and lived better than the Zulu. He was among the first of his tribe to seek reforms in the Zulu which would tend to advance the race in the scale of civilization. You see, a Zulu has a long family line, and that tends to make him look a long way into the future to provide better days, better conditions for the children and children’s children of his line. “I was born and raised as any Zulu boy is raised, in the Zulu town of Iuada. My. father, ‘being aman of advanced idéas, saw to it that I attended the mis- sion school in our settlement, where I learned to read and write English pret- ty well, but I never spoke the language until I came to America eight years ago “A cousin of mine,’ John Dube, son of Mquawe, one of the most powerful of all the Zulu chiefs, came to America some years ago, and, after receiving his education, returned to our village and persuaded me to follow the example which he set. Well, I did so, and his brother, Ben Dube, later followed me to America and is now here studying modern tailoring, that he may go back to oyr people and teach them something of the art of dressing well. May Go to Oxford. “On my arrival here I spent several months in Brooklyn learning the Eng- lish language. Then I -went to the Dwight L. Moody School “at Northfield to prepare for college. I was-at first undecided -what to study, but finally made up my mind to take up the law, for I figured that I could do my people more good in the legal line than in any other. After finishing at the Moody School..I entered Columbia University, where I have continued my study of law, and expect to finish it this year Then I may go to Oxford for a course in English laws as we Zulus, you know, have England to deal with first hand. “What are my impressions of America and Americans? Well, I have found the Americans a wonderful race of people— wonderful in their breadth. The typical American is broad of mind, broad of ‘heart and broad of soul. He is wonder- ful in his human sympathy and desire to seen tebecpipy } ‘Then thé Meri cath is a hustler, and ‘is.so known the world over. . “Of course, there are all kinds. of Americans, as there are all kinds of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans or Zulus. “The Southern American stands for family and the upholding of family name, He is the aristocrat, but not of the cold type. Southern hospital- ity Ils not a name; it is a reality. A real Southerner is both hospitable and generous, even in the matter of the race problem. I believe that the people of the South have not been un- derstood in their position on the race problem. They are not so hard as they have been described.

GUTHRIE,

, O. T., April 7.—Two Okla- homa boys, Lloyd Barker and Baker Arnold, 14 and 15 years old, hold the record as champion hunters of big fame in Oklahoma this season. The boys live with their parents near the town of Komalty, Kiowa County.. The boys started to Sunday school, and about a mile from the Barker home.they Saw what they believed at first to be a pack of dogs feeding on the carcass Of a cow. Further down the road they met a farmer, who said that he was on the trali of dogs that had been running his cows. As the boys were’mounted, they took the farmer's gun and said that they would go back and kill the dogs. When the boys got in close range they were startled to find the animals were mountain lions. There were five lions, a large one and four smaller ones. In said: of the exploit, Lloyd Barker “When I fired at the biggest one he -Save a tremendous roar, and all of them “san moving away. The big one did hot run very fast, and whenever we got near him he would show fight. We had Only three shells for the gun. After us- ing these without killing the lion, I ran my horse to the home of a neighbor and borrowed a 22-caliber target rifle and a box of cartridges. We soon over- took the lions on the prairie, and began Shooting at the big one. The four oth- ers scattered. We would approach the big one as closely on our horses as we dared, fire the rifle, and then run to a place of safety to reload. We con- tinued in this way until we had fired about twenty-five shots, all our ammu- n‘tion. We then borrowed another shot- sun, and this time we killed the lion. We had’ chased about five miles, and Our ponies were almost run down. The lion stood about three and a half feet high, and the green hide measured seven feet and two inches in length...

MAN 100 GOOD FOR SALOON, 1S CHARGE Indiana Remonstrators Want to Save Good Citizen From Business. Special to the Pest-Dispatch. NORRISTOWN, Ind., April 7.—The oddest license remonstrance yet put on record here came up against the grant- ing of a bottler’s. license to P. W. Tri- bels, Postmaster of Willow Grove. The signers of the petition are Rev. Wil- mer L. Gray and George W. Quigley. Some of the principal reasons they urge why the license should not be granted follow: : ‘Because the applicant, Tribels, was formerly one of the best citizens of the community, with singular large-hearted- ness and earnestness of purpose. hav- ing dispensed his means and helpfulness with large liberality; was one of the founders of the church in that place, having contributed largely of his means and time to its success; also being a man of splendid busines ability, his friends wish him the best possible suc- cess and believe the business would be hurtful to him. ‘“‘Recause the lArge majority of the community are hopeful that the license will not be granted, for the sake of the well-being of the town, himself and his estimable family.’’

Four years ago he was stricken with lung fever and for ‘several months his life was almost despaired of. However, he recovered and when he was able to leave his bed it was discovered that he had grown nine inches in height. Clo- vis, another son, is 6 feet 7 inches tall, and George and Edward, the two young- est sons, are each 6 feet 3 inches tall. S. F. White of Urbana made provi- sion in his will for a dog. Mr. White and his dog, “Tripp,’’ were the closest of friends for years. The master, prac- tically alone in the world and fearing that something might happen to him and that the dog would be left without protection, made ‘will in which he stipulated that in e the dog were liv- ing when he, the master, died, that it ghould be taken care of. A custodian was named.and he was a@ man whom Mr. White trusted to give his dumb TL PILES Fissure, Fistula, Itching, Spasm and ‘Moisture. Now, Cured by a Won- derful Secret Combination of Remedies.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, April 7.—Catulle Mende’s new play, “Glatigny,”’ the strolling actor and poet who in the few years of his life Wattained some fame in France, only to be forgotten soon, is well received by the audiences at the Odeon. The play is written in Catulle Mede’s usual smooth verse and music and while the plot can hardly be called such, the audi- ences watch the succession of events in the actor-poet’s life with keen interest and tears fall for the. faithful, loving heroine. Thé play opens in Glatigny’s birth- place, a small town. The poet’s father has no taste for poetry. Glatigny be- comes engaged to Emma, a young good- natured girl in charge of the small post- office. A strolling company of actors comes. Glatigny is fascinated by one’ of the women. He persuades his flan- cee to pay the debt for which the ac- tors are held and he departs with Zi- zane, the actress to see the wide world. In the next act the poet applies for a position as secretary to Emile de Ger- ardin, a Government Minister. While in the waiting room he meets Princess ad’'Elfe and composes some verses for her. She offers him much money, but he chooses a rose instead. The future outlines the poet a manifesto he wishes published in the press, but the result is such that the papers ridicule the document and the Minister discharges the poet+secretary. Next the audience sees a company of strolling actors behind the scenes. Bi- agion, a little singer, is in love with Glatigny, who is again with the stroll- ing actors, but she is so self-sacrificing that she tries to bring Zizane back to him. -Zizane has a lover and says he needs money to organize a company and Bhe asks Glatigny to raise the money if he wants her to love him. He thinks of the Princess, who told him that whenever he would send her the rose she would send him money. Glatigny gets the money gives it to Zizane, who elopes with her lover. In the last act the hero fs back in his native town, broken in health. Em- ma, true to her old love, nurses him. One cold winter night Glatigny ‘is seized by his wanderlust and he steps from the — only to be found dead the next ay. friend the best of care. The dog, how- ever, died first. Mr. White gave his companion a fu- neral and buried it in a coffin not un- like those used for human beings. Many of Mr. White's friends attended th» funeral of what he considered his closest friend, and the floral offerings were as numerous and beautiful as they might have been for a child. Plays Violim Without Hands. Frank Clawson of Atlanta is a hand- less violinist. Many years ago he was caught in a blizzard and his hands were frozen so badly that amputation’ was necessary. For a lang time his violin was silent, but his love for the instru- nienht inspired him to experiment and he now is able to play it as well as when he had two hands. Mr. Clawson made a bent wire contrivance to fasten onto the stumps of his arms and by the use of these and holding the violin between his knees he is enabled to use the instrument with great skill. Sons Follow Father’s Calling. Lovington. had a physician who prac- ticed medicine for over 50 years and who has reared a family of nine sons, all of whom have adopted their fath- er’s profession. The father is hale and hearty at his advanced age. In fact, he says he has enjoyed the best of health all his life. Made a Million Cigars. Bdward Hunt of Urbana has perhaps furnished more cigars to the. smokers of the world than any other living per- son. At any rate, he is the oldest ci- garmaker in the United States. He is now over 70 years old and has worked at his bench the last 54 years. Much of this time has been spent in Urbana, and he has sent out over 1,350,000 cigars from his shop in that city. Peoria Has Aged Cyclist. Peoria claims the most remarkable bicyclist in the world, considering his advanced age. This man, Thomas W. Davis, is now in his 7ith year and has ridden over 100,000 miles. He received fromthe Century Club of America the first prize for the 1902 mileage record. va led all competitors by riding 8030 miles. ° Next a Turtle Story. John Mathis, living near Cairo, is the owner of what he thought to be the oldest and largest fresh water turtle in the world, The animal was captured by. an ancestor of Mr. Mathis’ in Reel- foot Lake in 1826. It has been kept on the Mathis homestead ever since and grown from the size of a silver dol- lar until it now measures more than three feet across its capacious back. It weighs 200 pounds and when it walks the shell ‘is elevated to a considerable tance from the ground, the legs being uch longer than would be supposed. It can easily carry two children when —— in a saddle upon its shell. Horse Goes After Shoes. Girards claims a citizen who has a prodigy ina black horse, the animal displaying a vast amount of intelligence. When the horse is in need of new shoes its owner, John Wones, takes it from the stable, points to the blacksmith shop where is accustomed to having it shod, turns the animal free and it goes pranc- ing off for its new shoes. At the shop. the horse nips at the latch string, it the door be closed, until successful in opening it, after which the horse takes a@ place in the shop and waits patiently until the smithy can attend to it. The shoeing completed, the blacksmith places a note in the animal's mouth, turns it out of the shop and the animal is soon at home again and the owner has the. bill for the work. Pittsfield'’s Famous Residents. Pittsfield lays claim to being the home of many noted people. The late John Hay was at one time a resident of this e. Miss Estella Reed, connected with the Indian schools, and who is the highest salaried woman in the Govern- ment service, was born and reared there. Miss Phoebe Cousins, one of the first women to be admitted to the Illinois bas, was born and reared in Pittsfield. It also is the home of Col. A. thews, who long has been in the public toy B. N.

Pins“in Her Cake. LONDON, April 7.—The wife of e farmer at Peterborough had a narrow escape from being chocked by a two- inch pin in a piece of cake she was eating. The pin stuck across her throat, and was dislodged by a. fit of copgh- tacking the tliiide with’ when ths w e was adorned ee St Aegean ter aA C. Mat- } MINDS AT FAULT, NOT THE STATUE. Special Cabie to the Post-Dispatch and New York .Vorid. : BDPRLIN, April 7.—A _ petition was signed in Karlsruhe by 3468 women ask- ing the City Council to remove a foun- tain statue that has just been erected by the city. The statue is of nude forms of nymphs and the women sav it is immoral. The City Council held a special meeting to discuss the petition ane after due deliberation answered that the statue is not immoral and that those who see anything immoral in it have perverted minds. JEWISH REFUGEES LOSE NEW HOME. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, April 7.—The Russian Jews who took refuge in Breslau are in dire distress because the police have become active in exiling them. The city being near the Russian borders, a large num- ber of Jews sought refuge there at the time of the masascres. The police had orders to let the Jews come, regardless of legal documents. But now.as the press “is quiet, the police haye decided to-exile the refugees. CZAR HOLDS WHIP HAND OVER DUMA. ST. PETERSBURG, April 7.—As the rules and regulations for the coming Parliament have been sanctioned by the Czar, it is easy to judge the re- sults. The Parliament will-be composed of the State Council and the Duma. The State Council will be composed of 196 members, 98 of whom will be appointed by the Czar and 98 elected. Of those elected, six will be chosen by the Ortho- dox Church, 18 by the nobility, 34 by the Zemstvos, six by the academies, 12 by the chambers of commerce, 16 divisions that have no Zemstvos will send one representative each, and Poland will send nine members. They are elected for nine years. The President of the Council will be appointed by the Czar. The Duma will be composed of elected members who will serve five years. Each representative must swear allegiance to the Czar. The Duma will meet every year, but the rules do not state the du- ration of the sessions. The Czar will have the right to dissolve the Duma. A representative will have no right to question a Minister unless he has the support of 30 other representatives. A bill will become law after passing the Duma, the Council of State and be- ing signed by the Czar. LOVE POEMS DISGUST EMBEZZLER’S CHARMER. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, April 7.—Mme. Morelli, the mistress of the celebrated Embezzler Galley, who was condemned to seven years imprisonment, is showered upon with love letters and marriage proposals. She is extremely beautiful. her face is charming and her form artistic, but she was unknown before the Galley’s inci- dent. As soon as Paris saw her it be- came enthusiastic over her. The letters and poems she receives come from artistocrats, authors, artists and politicians of high rank. ~ But. in- stead of being delighted with these mis- sives of affection, she says she is dis- gusted. KILLED CHILDREN TO SPITE WIFE. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and ° New York World. FRANKFORT, Germany, April 7.—Er- nest Forewerk, a manufacturer, killed his two children, a boy and a girl, while his wife was away from home, and then committed suicide. He had been suspicious of his wife for several years and labored under the be- lief that the children were not his. He killed them for revenge on the.mother. TEN HOUSES GONE; ROOF AND SEWER. Special Cabie to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BELFAST, Ireland, April 7.—Ten ar- tisans’ dwelling houses in Donegal road, have disappeared as completely as :f swallowed up in an earthquake. The houses were two stories, and were there six months ago, but had become untenanted, an dwere allowed to fall in- to disrepair. When recently the ground landlord applied for his rent he was informed by agents that there was not now any property on the ground. Somewhat mystified, he visited the place himself. and found a howling waste and wilder- ness where formerly there had been habitations. The discovery that the jsecurity for his ground rents had gone ‘was natural- ly a subject for’serious concern. An architect to whom he turned for professional advice visited the site, but found that the very foundations had been so thoroughly grubbed up that it was only with difficulty the boundary walls could be traced. The sewer, water and gas pipes had all been carefully ‘“uprooted’’ to the roadway, and a solitary half brick was the sole memoria] that remained of a once substantial property. No explana- tion has been. offered. GERMAN WORKERS AT 1 CENT AN HOUR. BERLIN, April 7.—Questions relating to the improvement of the conditions connected with home industries are be- ing eagerly diecussed here. Count Posu- dowsky, Imperial Secretary of State fur the Interior, has promised to give the matter his close attention. Prince Lud- wig, heir apparent to the throne of Ba- varia, has also taken up the matter, and the King of Saxony some time ago or- dered a commission of inquiry for his own dominions. The report of this com- mission is now published, a it re- veals a terrible state of rs. Those industries in which .the condi- tions are the worst are passementerie, lace; artificial flowers, and teys. Among the passementerie workers the highest possible earnings seem to be T% cents an hour and the average is 4 cents. The lace workers who earn 2% cénts an hour consider this good, but less than 1 cent is not unusual. In the town of Pirna women are making artificial flowers for 1 cent an hour, and in the toy industry an hour’s work is paid with less than 1% cents. In a vast number of cases the work- room serves as kitchen and bedroom a# well, and the low rate of pay obliges parents to insist on their children’s as- sistance. Ninety hours a week are not unusual for adults, and for children tu Lb ted!

I think in time it will cure me. in three months, Peruna.” Spring Catarrh. Almost every one has come to believe that Spring is a season that brings de- rangements of the body dependent on blood impurities. ; Thie belief is an old one, is nearly uni- versal, and has arisen, not as tke result of the teachings of the medical frater- nity, but has been learned in the bitter school of experience. Nervous Depression. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of Spring is a fertile source of blood impurities. There are general lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feel- ings, with irregular appetite, and some- times loss of sleep. That Tired Feeling. That tired feeling, which is the nat- ural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating cold of winter, quickly disappears when Peruna is taken. Mr. J.Q. Craig, a well-known athlete, whose home address is Bridgeton, N. J., writes from the Hotel Donavin, Delaware, Ohio, as follows: ‘I can say of Peruna that, as a tonic for the spring of the year, it is the best for athletes, and as such I can give it a hearty recommendation.” » Peruana does not fail to prevent the lagsitude and languor incident to the approach of warm weather, Spring,—the pring Catarrh Restored to Health Honest People Tell Their Experiences.

Peruna meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna feelings, restores the normal appetite and procures regular sleep. Do Not Delay. Get a bottle of Peruna when. the first languid feelings make themselves ap- parent in the Spring. Take it according to the directions on the bottle. Con- tinue this treatment through the first months of Spring. ; This course of treatment is no experi- ment. It has helped thousands. Why should it not help you? A Spring Tonic. Almost everybody needs a tonic in the Spring. Something*to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain, and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is be- yond question. Everyone who has tried it has had the same experience as invigoratés the system, rejuvenates the. Mr. Warren M. Taylor, 1216 Eighth av., Brooklyn, N. Y., who, in a recent letter, writes: “I suffered from a general feeling of lassitude, with occasional creeping chills, followed sometimes by fever and biliousness. “These symptoms manifested them- selves mostly in the Spring and Fall. “T suffered this way for about seven years. “Last spring I began using Peruna and followed the instructions as set forth in one of Dr. Hartman’s book- lets which I picked up in a drug store, and to my great joy I noticed that within a week I was nearly cured. ‘*‘At the end of two months I was en- tirely cured and feel as though I have a new lease of life.’’ Nature’s Assistance.

ER ER SN Nt Eee. ee ete: DE gh i PAS ite sty Zen P POPs r oe. SIS CABLE, Cons TABLE WHO GHOT ANOKHLED DEPUTY SHERIFP BOTH, Charles Phillips, decided to. solve the mystery. Last Saturday morning, with Jobn Elrod, Phillips put a watch on the two suspects. They were rewarded by catching Roby and Haycock in the act of taking corn from a fleld. When confronted the men resisted, and in the encounter that fol- lowea Elrod was shot in the arm by Hayoock. Elrod and Phillips, being unarmed, were forced to flee, but they came to Paoli and swore out warrants for the of stealing and assault with intent to kill. ; The warrants were placed in the hands of Constable Robert McCabe to serye, and, as Roby and Haycock had the reputation of being fighters, Mc- Cabe requested Sheriff Harry Smith to assist him. Smith was a fearless offl- eer and, being a giant almost in stat- ure, it was expected that there would be little difficulty in taking the men into custody. . The officers reached the Roby home, which is about four miles from Paoli, about 6 o'clock Saturday evening. Roby, his wife and child, Haycock and.a man ef the yameof, Walfington were seated at the supper table, when McCabe ‘Knocked at the door. . Roby opened the door, and, se¢ing the Constable, instant- ly shut and locked it. Deputy Sheriff Smith in the meantime had gone to the rear door. He entered, | and, as he did so, received a buHlet in his Breast from the revolver of Roby. Smith turned and fell, but before’ he struck the floor another bullet was fired into him by Roby. One of the shots Pierced his heart and he died. without uttering a word. Woman and Child as Shield. house, the: woman with the child in her arms appeared at the door near which McCabe was -standing outside. McCabe Says @ man was standing behind the woman, and that she screamed to him not to shoot or he would kill the chijg. An instant later the woman with the child darted away, and the man who had been behind her raised a shotgun and emptied the charge into McCabe's body. The latter fell to the ground un- conscious. Following thé shooting of McCabe, Roby and Haycock ran‘ out of the house, mounted their horses and started for the Ohio River, across which they planned to escape into Kentucky. They were greatly excited, and, at one place where they stopped, told a man they had killed a Sheriff, but that if he re- ported them they would return and Kill him, too. The alarm finally reached Paoli and, though it was then late at night, nearly three hundred citizens formed a posse that proceeded to the Roby home, bent on capturing the murderers. It was nearly morning when the posse reached the scene of the crime, and it was at first supposed that the murder- ers were still in the house. A number of shots were fired into the building but, getting no response, Sheriff Morris, who led the party, boldly entered the house, but he found that the men had fled. He found the body of Deputy Smith on the rear porch where it. had been dragged from the sitting room. It is supposed that it was at first the intention of he murderers to throw the body in an old well, but that they be- came too mucif concerned for their saf- ety and did not take the time to make further disposition of the body. Before leaving, however, they toek all the dead man’s money and his revolver and ammunition, expecting evidently to sell their lives as dearly as possible, if necessary, With four hours’ start, Roby and Haycoek led a chase which has no par- allel in this part of the country for excitement and interest. The men were well mounted, but the country is wild and hilly. Twenty- five miles directly south is the town of Leavenworth, the nearest point on the Onio Kiver. It is believed that the murderers Started for thia place in the hope of being able to make their wav into Ken- tucky before the news ‘ould =6reach there. This they might huve accom- plished had not the streams heen swol- len by the recent rains, making the usual fords almost impassable Because Of this and also on account of the net- work of telephone lines that traverse the country. the pursners were able to Bain a@ great advantage. All day Sunday and Monday tha chase went on and, at one time the Sheriff and his posse were so close to the fugitives that the latter sent word j they would consider a proposition. to surrender if they were givén essurances of protection and proper clemercy. This angered the pursuers, who re- doubled their energics. The fugitives, conan closely prease4, seemed to have a adva vantage in being p¢rfectly fulniiiar with all the roads and the a7 of the country. As they nea-ed the river, however, their danger increased, for the hei ght of the water wade it certain thate they would not be able to CrO8s at any celier point thaa that at

result that the river at that place was civsely watched. Then the trail was lost, and the Sher- iff and his posse were mystified. It seemed almost certain that the men could not have crossed into Kentucky, yet no further trace of them could be found. The truth was that the men, seeing they could not advance further, doubled on their tracks and returned to'‘the vi- cinity of Roby’s home, near Paoli, reaching there Wednesday forenoon, They went to the home of Roby’s moth- er, who also lives in the same neighbor- hood. There they were seen by others who promptly gave the alarm. Officers’ Posse Gets Them. As soon as the news reached Paoli, former Sheriff Lashbrook at once formed a posse of deputies and hastened to the Roby home. He was met at the door by Mrs. Roby, who informed him that it was true that Roby and Haycock were in the neighborhood and that they would surrender if the officers would guarantee to protect them. Otherwise they would never be taken alive and would shoot to kill until shot down themselves. Sheriff Lashbrook assured the woman that the men would be protected, but that it would be necessary for them to act quickly, as a mob was forming at Paoli whose actions he could not be held accountable for, unless it could be eluded. The men, who were in the house at the time, then surrendered and none too soon, for the news that the mtrderers had returned had spread rapidly over the town and surrounding country. A mob of several hundred had started from Paoli towards the Roby home. There were plenty of ropes, leaving.no doubt of the mob’s intentions. The muddy condition of the roads pre- vented much progress being made and before the place was reached, former Sheriff Lashbrook and his deputies, con- sisting mainly of county officers, had taken the prisoners away. Judge Bus- kirk of the Orange County Circuit Court had been communicated .with and he, acting on the instructions of Gov. Hanly, who had been kept informed, ordered the prisoners to be taken at once to the Reformatory at Jeffersonville for safekeeping. The Mob Is Eluded. Lashbrook, accordingly, proceeded to New Albany, where he boarded the train for the prison: Along the way he was met by crowds who hooted at the mur- derers and asked why they were not hanged at once, but as no warning of their coming had béen given, there was no time to organize for summary meas- ures, Word has been regeived from the pris- on that the men were in a state of great fear until they were safe behind the bars and are now pleading for protection when they are returned to Paoli for trial. Roby admits that he shot Smith, but declares that he shot only in self-de- fense. He says that Smith came unex- pectedly intc the house and did not an- ncunce that he was an officer. Thinking the man was one of a mob that had come to do him harm on ac- count of trouble he had had with El- rod, he fired.

by the Canon City, Florence, Royal Gorge and & Interurban Railway Co. This bridge will Span the famous Royal Gorge at a point directly above thé hanging bridge of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and will be over two thousand four hundred feet above the bed of the roaring Arkansas River, so high, in fact, that that stream will look

| like a silver thread to a person standing | on the structure. | The bridge will be of the suspension pattern and be built of solid steel and have a length of 0 feet. t will cost fully $100,000. The fact that the bridge is to be built over this bit of mountain scenery is already causing considerable comment in the East and no doubt when it finished thousands of Easterners will visit the bridge annually, The street cars are to run over the bridge and the sight down the deep chasm from the street cars will be a dazzling one. Near the bridge is to be located a $200,-| 000 hotel. The highest railway bridge the | United States at the present time, it is said, is the ‘‘high bridge’’ of Kentucky, which spans the Kentucky River in Jes- samine County at a height of 350 feet.

THE JEWISH EASTER INNING MONDAY | LASTS EIGHT DAYS; ~ BEG 4 «& al

‘~~... ws S Celebration of the Liberation From Bondage in Egypt Is Ob. served by Orthodox Strange Ceremonies. The celebration of the Jewish or Pessah, which, among the orthodox Jews, continues for eight days, will be- gin tomorrow. The Jewish Easter is really a national holiday, not a religious festival, as it commemorates the liberation from the hotige of bondage. But as the Jews, ac- coffing to their old traditions, never did anything by themselves, but were only the tools.of Jehovah, all national! holidays> among them are religious of necessity. ; According to the scriptures, God sent Moses te ask that Pharaoh should lib- erate the children of Israel. Pharaoh was too proud to recognize the authority of Jehovah. After. the 10 plagues had afflicted the Egyptian ruler and all the firstborn, not only of the Egyptians, but even of their animals and birds had been killed by the hand of the angel of God Pharaoh sent for Moses and told him to take his people and go. The Easter festival among the Jews is both a commemoration of the day when they were permitted to leave Eeypt and a thanksgiving because their first born were spared in the plagues. According to Jewish tradition the

This year it is April 10. In the days of Israel’s glory, when in their temple the high priest brought sacri- fices for them to their God, the Jews used to celebrate what was called the feast of the lamb. In the days of the feast Jews from all the country used to flock to Jerusalem to assist at the fes- tivities. Eat Only Unleavened Bread. Today the Jews have no temple and the custom of sacrificing lambs and cat- tle on tne altar is in vogue no more. The festivities have taken another form. During the Easter holiday, no ortho- dox Jew tastes any other kind of bread than “‘mazos,"’ unleavened bread, which is made like crackers, only much larger and thicker without salt. The reason for eating this bread is to remind the Jews how their ancestors on leaving the house of bondage had no time to make their bread into loaves and bake it properly, but had it made into round unleavened cakes which they baked in the gun. Anyone disobeying the injunction not to taste bread except ‘‘mazos’’ may be punished with death, not by the au- thorities on earth, but by Jehovah. In the old days. also, the offender was flogged publicly. ° Before the Easter holiday sets in now every orthodox Jewish house is thor- oughly searched and all the leavened bread is gathered. Not a crumb must remain hidden anywhere in the house. A prayer is uttered while the search is made, and the next day the “Humez”’ or leaven is burned. After that no one allowed to eat leavened bread till In the evening of that “Seder’’ night is is after passover. same day. the first celebrated. _ ; The “Seder” Festival. The ‘‘seder’’ is a festival picturesque and full of deep sentiment. Around the table laden with the best that can be afforded, the whole family is assembled. Everybody has on something new. Even the walls have a new coat of whitewash. The family is reunited. The head of the family is now a king. His wife and children are around him, Their eyesS-are turned toward him. They wait for him to begin to tell them the wonderful story of the liberation of their ancestors from under the yoke of slavery. The father of the family, or if he is dead, the oldest son in his place, dressed in a white garment, reclining on his left side on soft cushions with the book of prayers in hand, relates the story of the event to be com- memorated, The reclining on _ soft cushions is to remind the Jew that he is a king, that on the day of his lib-~ eration from the house of bondage he, the former slave, became the equal of the king who held him in slavery. After the introductory prayers are said by the father, the oldest son asks him the “four questions.” It is as- Sumed that the son does not know why this change of diet takes place, and why his father reclines on soft cushtons at the table. The mother on the other side of the table feels proud of the son who recites his questions in Hebrew, the language spoken by the prophets. The father exchanging the look of pride with the mother begins to éx- plain to his son what all the unusual] things mean, by telling him the story of slavery under the lash ‘of the Egyptian and@ of the liberation. As he reads, lis voice becomes now sad and now joyful. It is not simply reading. Every chapter in the story, every prayer is read in a different tone, in a different melody. After the story is told the meal begins. At the meal bitter herbs are tasted as a re- minder that the children of ‘Israel are still wanderers on foreign shores, It is also traditional to drink four cups of wine at the festival. Besides the cups of the family there stands an extra a of wine on the table intend- Sidlk deere cen bone at as Gee thane fenton ome in the time of Men Sing Hymns.

Gteernan MADE GALLANT RESCUE. Man Who Was Saved Did Not Express Gratitude. G John J. iver of 2211 Morgan is now a stonemason, but he used to be a Chicago fireman. So he knew just what to do when he saw volumes of smoke rolling last night from a window of a house at 2112 Pine street, occupied by Margie Rhodes. He ran to the cor- ner of Twentv-second and Pine sireets and ‘‘pulled tne box,”’ then returned at full speed to the house. He could hear screams. As Giver burst in the front «oor he found himself amid smoSe «gq ions he could not distinguish any ow,ect in the interior of the house. He advanced gropingly, and as he did so stumbled over a body prostrate in the hallway. He carried the unconscious man inte the street

LONDON, April 7.—S. F. Cody con- siders that a boatload of shipwrecked persons who have a kite to fly are far more likely to be rescued than a kite- less boatload. He argues that a kite 200 yards or so up in the air has a better chance of being seen by ships than a small boat low down in the water. He has built a boat to exemplify his theory. It is an open three-tonner, with a length of 21 feet and a beam of b feet, and is driven by petrol. It was launched on the Crystal Palace Lake and duly christened Lela by Mrs. Cody with the help of the orthodox bottle of champagne. Mr: Cody invited a number of women to step aboard and play the part of castaways, and 10 bravely responded. Away went the Lela up the lake at a rate of seven miles an hour, and at the right moment Mr. Cody unloosed a double-bodied, bat-shaped kite, six or seven feet long, which soared into’ the air to a height of about 200 yards. It floated there during the ‘voyage,’ and it could easily be understood how such an object out at sea would attract the attention of a passing vessel miles away. Mr. Cody told a Post-Dispatch repre- sentative afterwards that if he could obtain the consent of the British Gov- ernment, with whom he has entered into an agreement to serve two years in the army balloon department at Aldershot, he meant to give his idea a practical trial on the ocean. “T shall take the Lela aboard some vessel sailing for Seuth America, and after two days cast adrift. I shall haul the kite and keep it flying until I am picked up by some passing steamer, and then, after a day or so, repeat the er eriment. So I shall go on until I reowh uth America. ‘“T intend to take 10 days’ provisjons with me, and four kites. The latter can be rolred up into bundles about six feet long and four inches thick. They can be flown to any height, acording to the length of string available. ‘“‘My object is to prove that small life- boats cannot drift along for any length of time without being seen if they have a kite flying, and ohe should form a part

‘of the equipment of every ocean-going steamer.”’

BAGGAGEMAN HURT AT UNION. STATION James Wilson Falls Under Moving Train and Will Probably Die. James T.

Pacific “accommodation” train as it backed into the Union Sta- tion late yesterday afternoon. The wounded man was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, where it was said late last night that he was unconscious and internally injured, and that the chances for his living until morning were slight. Wilson tried to board the train near Twentieth street, just after it had re- versed and back toward the station. His grip on the handrail of the bag- gage car failed and he slipped beneath the wheels. W. D. Ewen of Creve Couer, the en- gineer of the train, heard the man’s cry as he fell and applied the air. brakes with such promptitude that the train was halted before it had gone more than a few yards. Wilson was immediately beneath the engine, and it was neces- sary to raise it with jacks before he could be extricated from the ition. T. Wilson, father of the injured man, lives at Paris, Kv. The son was unmarried. PEASANTS’ SCYTHES DEFEND CHURCH. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, April 7.—A desperate encoun- ter between church rioters and the mil- itary is reported from Saint Gorgon, in Brittany, where fatal results were avert- ed by the! Mayor. The soldiers, escorting the inspector who came™to take the inventory, .were obliged to use the butt ends of their ri- files against the peasants, who were armed with pitchforks and scythes. The soldiers, finding themselves out- numbered, drew their revolvers, They were about to fire when the Mayor of the village rushed between the comba- tants and declared he would be the first tu die. At this the villagers desisted, and the military retired. At Langolen, Finistere, the defenders of the church sringed the soldiers with sulphuric acid. ‘The violence of the defenders at St: Martin, near Lorient, so excited the sol- diery that they sacked the vestry, stealing silver ornaments, altar cloths! and candles.

Post-Dispatch. LINCOLN, Neb., April 7.—-The matri- monial bureau of Mrs. Ida Grace Ma- comber has received a black eye from the Government, but it is a question if she will be tried on charges of disap- | pointed men, at this term of court. She was doing a landoffice business. i'but her letters will hereafter be stamped fraudulent and returned. to the writers. Mrs. Macomber is-in the Hospital for the Insane at Norfolk. While she was in the Lincoln Hospital she did a thriv- ing business and often as many as 20 letters. were received in one day from men who wanted to get married. Some of the letters contained not only photographs, jewelry and dress pat- terns, but many of them contained va- rious sums of money .and other evti- dences of affection.

COLLIES TO HAVE THEIR OWN SHOW Most Intelligent of Dogs Will Have Annual Exhibition All to Themselves, On Monday and Tuesday of the ensu- ing week, the St. Louis Collie Club will hold its eighth annual dog show at 1129 and 1131 Olive street. In quality and numbers it wil leclipse any previous efforts. The cream of the collie breed has been gathered from all parts of the country. It will be judged by Mr. Al- fred Forsythe. Among the notable col- lies which will be on a yg yp are Champion Southport Sincere and Cham- pion Thorndale Baroness, both consid- ered the best of their kind. St. Louis has a number of good ones which will be shown. One of the local stars is Douglas M., bred by Mr. Van Bilarcom and owned by Miss Madill of Lindell boulevard. This dog has never. been beaten and is today in finer shape than ever. Mr. Van Blarcom has a grand kennel of four entered, among which is the famous brood bitch Merry Stella, dam of Douglas M,; Semper, Rex, Ome- ga Lad and Rex XIX, all prize winners. McHarvey L. Christie has a magnifi- cent sable and white Rex X which should be near the fron He is en- | tered in the American-bred class. Mr. T. G. Barstow has his collie, Glenladdie, entered. This dog is by Ravenswood Rocksand, said to be the greatest sire of winning collies in America. Brookmere Purity, the young bitch that made such a_ sensational per- formance at the recent Detroit show, will be shown with her kennel mate, High Hope. This pair is considered invincible. Miss Elva Magnus will exhibit her collie, Tess. Ormskirk Betty, the noted winner of last year’s show, will again be seen. The quality of this year’s exhibi- tion is far in advance of any previous effort of the club, caused chiefly by the fact that wins at this show will count four points toward a champion- re Mr. Alfred Forsythe will judge ‘his long experience as a coliie owner: and breeder will be a guaran- tee that his awards will be correct.

ST. LOUIS GREYHOUND CHAMPION OF VALLEY ~ aa. a

a i Diamond Chain, Son of Bright Chain and White Diamond, Wins the Title by Taking $1000 Stake From Chicago — Cracks. Members of the St. Louis Coursing who went to Chicago -to run their grey- hounds in the great saggy city coursing match for $1000, won by ¢. J. Lavins Dia- mond Chain poms Chain—W hite Diamond), declare that it was the best coursing they ever saw. Both cities had some of the finest greyhounds in the country entered, and it was a hard- fought contest throughout. The afternocn was ideal for coursing, the work of the officials satisfactory, and, taken as a whole, it was a very well conducted meeting, at least there were no complaints from either Owners of spectators, The attendarce, which was the iargest ever sen in Chicago, was in- clined to be a bit partisan. It made the welkin ring when a Chicago greyhound The park, with a few re- coulda be made into a won a course. arrangements, first-class one. Contrary to expectations, the slipping was done from the escapes, instead of at the opposite end of the park, and the jacks did not go any too well for the first few courses. At the slipper’s suggestion, the boxes were brought fur- ther out into the field. The jacks went well afterward and some excellent coursing ensued. The hares were a splendid lot. But for a erisp breeze which blew over the field it is probable that the dogs would have been laid low after their courses. Diamond Chain, the winner, owned by J. J. Lavin and bred and trained by Eu- gene Nally, ran up to his best form. He went up to his game at a sizzling pace, made no mistakes, got busy with his teeth and cut his course short; it was well that he did so, for the Chicago greyhounds proved themselves great stayers, coming back remarkably strong, although they had courses of from two to four minutes’ duration. Te runner-up, La Garcia, is a brindle greyhound (Barton Tag-Grace Conroy), | owned by Thomas McCarty of Chicago, had probably the hardest course of any hound at the meeting. She is as game a greyhound as ever looked through slips, though not really going to her game. Once in, she is a little demon. She has one fault—a bad one— in that she allows her courses to run fo long. Her sire, Bartow Tag, is well known in St. Louis, being owned by G. Lacy Crawford. The third dog to finish was Fine Art (Hushman-Gilia MCree), and owned by Mr. Carter of Chicago. She is a very useful greyhound, but rd course previous to betne et ant — Diamond Chain in the semi-finals. Of the other_steyhounds from St. Louis, Mr. Rowe, Menown and Fielders fawn dog ran in splendid form. He was put out by the winner, Diamond Chain; from a capital slip they went up the field, neck and neck. The, hare happened to favor the white dog, who was credited with the run-up and turn, while the latter promptly brought the course to a finish. Score, $ to 2. Northern Lights ran well in his first course, but a peculiarity about him is that he will not do his best In heavy | AG going, and was put out in his second Cagoans are eager for a return match,

rr course after getting what Mr. would call a ‘“pumpah.” _J. J. Curran’s entries, while they ran well, did not run.up to the best formh. Abbeyside (Tiburon-Colonial Girl) led her opponent, Fine Art, of Chicago in the first round and had all the better of it. However, her eight days in the cars coming from San Francisco showed her lack of condition, and tha Chicago greyhound fiinishing a little bit strong- er, just won. His other entries, Imp. Highland (Under the Globe-Rocky Glen) also showed lack of form, and failed to display any of her brilliant bursts of speed shown at the recent Delmar meet- ings, where she defeated the wirner, Bright Chain, leading him and beating him handy; she has been amiss recently, which os ity for her lack of form. Mr. King’s é@ntries ran very well, but their opponents were high class ones, and they succumbed after a few courses. Emil Mueller’s fawn-dog, Bob Cagon, ran a very good greyhound and just missed getting into the money, being put out by Fine Art in his third course. Charles E. McdAllister’s La Mascotte ran splendidly and won his two first courses impressively; he was lucky in having short ones. After finishing his second course, however, he picked up a seven-pound hare, got after a stray jack on the field and had another course with the dead hare in his mouth, an in- excusable mistake on the part of his handler, in not being on hand promptly to pick up the dog when his course was ended. He met La Garcia in the third round and was beaten after an undecid- ed, which was the only course. A ma- jority did not coincide with the judge's decision when the hat came off. He hung in the slips rather badly, but once In, he seemingly had the better of the course. When slipped again he led the Chicago hound decisively, but’ a stout hare gave her the chance to wipe out his score, as she finished gamely, while he larched it badly. Mr. Lavin’s puppy, Bright Clair (Low Clair-Nelly’s Last), ran exceed- ingly well for a puppy. He acted a bit green in slips and was just led to the hare on the inside by Mike Al- len’s crack hound, Look-at-the-Clook, and Was showing speed on the latter When he came an awful cropper, Which shook him up badly, while hig opponent worked resolutely, hardly kiving him more than a look-in when jhe pnhiled down a rather weak hare.

i ed Fed on Hen-Fruit, Cantab Crew Defeated Oxford Right in the Sixty-third Renewal of Great Annual Boat Race. ¥ LONDON, April 7.—Cambrigge won the university boat race. from Oxford on the Thames today. Time, 18 minutes. The start was made at 12:08 p. m. Cam- bridge finished at 12:21. The race was the sixty-third contest between crews of the two great English uviversities. Since 1853 the races have been held annually. Between 1829, the year of the first aquatic contest be- tween these universities, and 19, Ox- ford won 3% and Cambridge 27 times, the race in 1877 resulting in a degd” heat. Last year Oxford won by thfee lengths, rowing the course from Putney to Mortlake in 20. minutes 35 seconds. At the outset this season Oxford waa re- garded as having the better chance of winning, her oarsmen being superior in weight and physique to those of Cam- bridge. Later, however, several mem- bers of the Oxford crew were incapact- tated and in the betting yesterday Cambridge was the favorite. Cambridge won by three and a half after an exciting contest. Time, 19m. 24s, Cambridge, from the, first, was in the lead and never in the slightest danger. The Oxford men, struggled gamely, but the work was. so punishing that several of: them collapsed at the finish. Weather was perfect. The day was bright and sun- ny, the wind was very light and the water was smooth and there was very little choice in the stations. Enormous crowds thronged all parts of the course. : ) Oxferd Wias Toss, Oxford won the toss and chose the Surry side. The two boats got away nicely at 12:03 p. m. Cambridge struck the water first, pulling 38 strokes during the first minute to Oxford’s 37. The nose of the Cambridge boat quickly showed in front and at the half-mile post Cambridge was a haif length to the good and were rowing in lively style, with perfect finish to their strokes,. They increased their lead to a full length before Craven Steps, about three-quarters of a mile from the start, were reached. Thereafter, Cambridge drew away with every stroke. At Ham-* mersmith Bridge, one and three-quar- ters of a mile from the start, Cam- ‘pridge already had ‘the race well in hand, with a lead of over two lengths. The Oxfor@ boat, at that stage of the race was rolling badly.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Ind., April 7.—The ‘‘bootlegger’’ must go from Brown Coun- ty. This is the edict of the Ladies’ Aid Soctety of Nashville, as well as that of the revenue officers. The women will ask Gov. Hanly to act in their behalf against the illegal traffic. Into the wild- est retreats the’ fight will be carried. The campaign is to be, waged that Brown County may be a thoroughly law- abiding place when the Indianapolis Southern Railroad, the first in the coun- ty, begins to carry tourists into this picturesque territory, and when the guests at James Whitcomb Riley’s hos- telry, to be erected on Bear Wallow Hill, begin to ramble over the hills. The campaign is already on, in fact. The revenue officers have been working quietly on the case for the past month, with the aid of the Ladies’ Aid Society, and.it has leaked out that arrests are expected soon. The ‘“bootleggers’’ are disturbed by the news. How the Traffic Goes On, The ire of the law-abiding ana tem- perance people has been aroused by the operation of a “walking saloon”. in Nashville and a “‘blind.tiger’’ six. miles west of here.’ Boys from the age of 15 to 21 visit the latter place to gamble and earouse. The liquor is hauled from Bloomington, then ‘‘watered’’ and sold to patrons of the place. There has not been a licensed saloon in Nashville or Brown County since the murder of Agron David, eight yeass ago, but the sale of liquor has been go- ing on steadily for some time. Much credit is due the Ladies’ Aid Society of this place for gaining the co-operation of the revenue officers. Meetings were held for the -pur- pose of devising. a scheme?» for getting ‘the ‘“‘boot-leggers’’ before. the grand jury, and the problem was at: last solved. A committee of young women was appointed to take into their confi- dence some young men, who purchased liquor. This was done. the society now has the necessary evidence, and the young men are not so popular, except those who have taken the pledge. Will Ask Governor to Act. A letter to Gov. Hanly has been pre- pared, asking for his aid in the mat- ter, and the signatures of many tem- perance workers will be affixed there- to. The temperance workers lrere say

| URNS TAUGHT ATTHEM.S.U Influenced by Public Demand, Faculty Decides to Inau- gurate Course.

STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC

Success of Their ‘‘Post-Dis- patch Junior’ Aroused Widespread Interest.

HEARD EDITOR’S LECTURE

Will Soon. Be Producing Trained Journalists, Says Acting President. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., April 7.—The Uni- versity of Missouri has, under the pres- gure of public demand, determined to establish a regular course of instruction in journalism. Since the visit to the offices of the Post-Dispatch of nine young journalists, selected by the facul- ty, on invitation of the management of the Post-Dispatch, and since the publi- cation of the Post-Dispatch Junior, the department of publicity at the Uni- versity has been besieged with inquiries regarding such a course. Inquiries regarding the work have come from all over the South and West. In fact, over half’ of the letters received have been from _ prospective students in other states than Missourl. One man wrote very frem Washington, D. C. That there are a great number of students in the university at the present time who are thoroughly interested in journalism was brought to light when, |! Natior last January, Dr. J. C. Jones, acting president, calling for the names of all those who were interested. Within three days about fifty students had responded. Williams Planning. : Mr. Walter Williams, a practical’

newspaper man, to whom much credit is due for the establishment of a regu- lar course in journalism, is at work at present on a mene of study for the new department. \Mr. Williams, who is a member of the Board of Curators of the University, has in mind the estab- lishment of a chair for the exclusive study of the newspaper art. The work will not be merely technical, out will be made as nearly practical as p0os- sible. During the past year work of this nature on a Iimted scale only has been in the hands of one of the professors of the English department. This work consisted chiefly of daily ‘‘stories,’ whiah must be fh each day at a given hour, thus imitating in a measure the rush of a metropolitan daily. “Assignments’’ were given the mem- bers of the class, and, acting as re- porters, they interviewed the instructor, who is a practical newspaper man, got al] of the details and facts, sifted them down, and in specified lengths of time wrote, under high pressure, the num- ber of words the assignment justified. Students Copy Readers. This work in the classroom was sup- plemented by practical reporting of topics of interest about the city and in the reading copy turned in by other students. Every news department of the great daily was experimented with, sports, editorials and criticisms, 4s well as daily city news, was written and cor- rected by the embryo journalists. Another course in short story writing and the mechanics of the manuscript was afforded those interested in mag- azine work. The practical courses in the class- room were supplemented by a_ very stro1 list of newspaper men as lec- turers. These experienced lectures have ben distributed throughout the year and huve been very enthusias- tically attended. Journalists Lectured. The newspaper men who have ap- peaed before the class in journalism this year are: Melville E. Stone, gen- eral manager of the Associated Press,

HOUSES AND ROAD SLIDE DOWN HILL Link Between Parts of Chester, Ill., Is Swept Away: Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHESTER, Ill., April 7.—Owing to the incessant rains of last week, a large tract of land detached itself from the hillside and slid down toward the river Friday, taking with it a 2W-foot sec- tion of the main street, which leads from Jower Chester to the Courthouse, four frame dwelling» houses. all occu- pied, and a brick blacksmith shop. The slide embraces a ,plat of ground about 300 feet square, and the perpen- dicular fall at the break is about ten feet in depth. One of the houses is now about 40 feet nearer the river than be- fore the slide,’and all of them present a crooked and dilapidated appearance. The movement of the houses caused much eonsternation among the resi- dents, and three families moved out hurriedly, leaving only two houses 0c- cuplied. The occupants of these pluckily intend to remain with the slide until their homes are in danger of turning over. Traffic on this street had to be abandoned, and. vehicles must now travel two miles out of the way in g0- ing to and from the depots in lower Chester and the Courthouse on the hill. How Wood Lasts. Some interesting experiments have been made to ascertain which woods last the longest. It was found that birch and aspen decayed in three years, willow and chestnut in four years and elm and ash in seven years. Oak, Scot- tish fir and Weymouth pine decayed to the depth of half an inch in seven years; larch and juniper were uninjured at the end of seven years.

Jones said: ‘“T am quite enthusiastic over what we have accomplished, and I believe the University of Missouri will soon be training young men—and, for that matter, young women, too—to become successful journalists. I believe that our graduates will be able to go into city offices equally as well prepared as those who have had experience on smaller papers: Both our lectures and the practical instruction are proving a strccess. :

CHILD WIFE WINS FREEDOM IN DEAT Girl of 13, Sold by Father, Killed for Deserting Husband. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EASTON, Pa., April 17.—True to the ideas she had imbibed in American schools: as to personal freedom, and de- testing in her heart the marriage vows she had been forced to assume when but 13 years old, Mrs.eAnna Beocia paid for her devotion with her life when she was shot to death gn the public street by her husband, Joseph Boccia. The child, for she was nothing else, would have been 14 years old next month. Boccia is awaiting trial. Investigations growing out of this particularly cold-blooded murder have disclosed the fact that men in the Hun- garian and Italian colonies hereabouts conduct a regular business in selling their daughters as wives. In no particular does this trade differ from the barter practiced by the savage tribes of interior Africa. In. no case is the girl’s inclination considered. The usual price exacted by a loving father for trading in his own flesh and blood runs from $100 up. Anna Bubba, as the child-wife’s maid- en name was, was born in Pen Argyl, attended.the public schools, and was an American in her ways and habits of thought. When Boccia desired the maiden for his own. she did not return his atten- tions, but one day the little victim ap- peared in long skirts and announced that she was now Mrs. Boccia. The pair went to housekeeping, but the girl, in disgust, soon returned home and got work in a silk mill. This en- raged Boccia, and it was while she was erie home from work that he slew er. CRUEL SERGEANT — GOES TO PRISON. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch ani New York World. BERIAJIN, April 7.—One of the worst cases of maltreatment of soldiers by their Sergeant has come to light at Mulheim. This petty tyrant, named Buksahl, has been sentenced to degra- dation to the ranks and seven months’ imprisonment for his barbarity. He was in the habit of striking recruits on the breast with the butt of a rifle With such violence that they fell to the ground. He struck them on their frost-bitten and chilblained hands with his bayonet, spat in their faces when he was dissatisfied with their drill, and tortured them in barracks with knee drill. The wretched re- cruits were so _ terror-stricken that they preferred bearing it all rather than report him. Buksahl pleaded zeal in the service as his excuse.

| YOUNGEST TREASURER OF ST. LOUIS THEATER. FRED JOHNSON JR. Fred Johnson Jr., who has just been appointed to succeed Web Rickart as treasurer of Havlin’'s Theater, is the youngest theatrical treasurer in St. Louis. having attained the dignity of box-office proprietorship at the age of For the past six years he has been an attache of Havlin’s, serving first as one of the ushers for two years and then for four years as head usher. Man- ager Garen gave him his first position as a candy boy at Havlin’s, and the new and ,youthful treasurer says that his advancement proves what Mr. Garen will do for an employe who shows him- self to be capable and devoted to the interests of the house and its patrons. SOCIALIST ANGERS BADEN MINISTER. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, April. 7.—A remarkable conflict has broken out in the Diet of the Grand Duchy of Baden between the Minister of the Interior, Dr. Schenkel, and the leader of the So- cialist party, Herr Geck. During @ debate in the Diet, Dr. Schenkel said that certain sections of the Baden po- lice, who had sought the assistance of the Socialists to redress their griev- ances, were guilty of a breach of duty and loyalty, as the Socialists were mainly concerned in uprooting all au- thority in the State. Herr Geck took exception to this, claimed for his par- ty an equal right with all other par- ties to represent the people, and told the Minister that his remarks were insulting to the Diet. Herr Geck was called to order by the President. As he is one of the vice-presidents of the Diet, the President’s reproof wilh probably result in depriving him of this dignity. Eastern Police Chiefs Here. Louis Werner, Chief of Police of Rich- mond, Va., and John B.

“IN MONEY HECKS ADVANCE suyers Uncertain of Their Posi- tion With Rates _ 80 Per Cent.

WHY RATES ARE HIGH | Indications Are That thé Pres- ent Money Market Is Manipulated. 7 BY R.. 0. JOHNSON. | sad manipulated call money market, which carried interest rates to 30 per cent, checked the bull campaign that has been under way for two weeks past, and caused a much needed and mecessary reaction in prices, during the past week. The recent rise has been a violent and rapid one, and the action of prices after the movement had apparently culminated indicated most pointedly how small a pert the outside public =, has taken in the speculation. Prices held firm at the extreme high level with interest rates as high as 12 and 16 per cent, and only an ex- cessive rate of 30 per cent caused a setback, Had a big public interest been fol- lowing the movement, the result would have been entirely different. The action of prices therefore indi~ as yet passed from strong hands and as long ' as this is the case the possibilities of * &@ pronounced decline are lessened. : ' - , | delicate one, and several reasons ‘being advanced for the Dver, The situation, is a are abnormally nevertheless, high call rates. . The theory that has received the most credence in financial circles, is that certahr influential banking inter- ests in the East, have taken this means of putting a check on a certain Class of speculators. who are operat- ting extensively and recklessly, on the bull side of prices, with absolute disre- sard of the strain placed on the money market at the present time, when the spring demands for’ cur- reney froin the West are on. Money Manipulated. That the Eastern cai; money market is highly manipulated is also indicated by the time mone+ market which has va- ried only slightly with rates ranging be- tween 5 and 5% per cent, in'the face of the stringency tn the call market. Another theory aGvarbed is that East- ern bankers are desirous of obtaining additional money from the Treasury at Washington for deposit in the national yanks of the country, and have taken mtage of the present lack of funds to-werk up interests rates and add force 40 an appeal* to tne Secretary of the Treasury for Government help. Already the banks have received Gov- ernment deposits tovtne extent of $10,- 00, 000 | There is, in reality, however, an ab- ($3 normal demand for money ail the world and tn the United States, the enormous movement of crops, the gen- eral activity in all industries, the exten- sion of credits ‘in the stock market, the activity in real estate circles, have ab- sorbed more money than ever before in the history of the country. In the face of these domestic vondi- tions foreign markets have been subject- ed to the drain of war loans for two years past, while ther ecent Moroccan question has caused the accumulation of funds in foreign centers to meet any adverse political situation that might. Pag factors have worked the money im t into its present position, where call rates can be easily manipulated as they have been in the past week. be position is much the same as that presented in the artificial money panic of pecem ber. 1898, when a certain co- fterle of New York bankers: ctically cornered the money rket, forced in- terest rates to 165 per cent and ught in securities at their own figures. Prices made age a complete recovery in a Vv me. 9 The only difference iil the. present market, with that of that period, Is that the public was very largely interested in securities at the time. . Relief Necessary. ‘Certain it is, however, that unless temporary relief is secured from Gov- ernment or other sources in the near future lower prices for the time being are inevitable. Technicaily the monetary situation abroad }is, adjusting itself, which is in- dicated in the uction: in the Bank of Engiand’s discount rate from 4 to. 31% per cent during the week. , This would indicate that the settle- ment of the Moroccan question has re- stored confidence in foreign banking cir- cles and loosened up funds in very large amounts. These funds will be largely available for import to New York, but relief through this source cannot be of direct benefit for at least 20 days to come. To sum up, then, it would appear that the money market, through natural and unnatural causes, has been placed ina position where the manipulation of call rates may be indulged in. Whether a. temporary severe decline can be brought about, depends almost entirely on the power of the interests in control of rates, and whether they desire such a decline, or are only act- ing for the welfare of all concerned, by checking an excessive bull speculation until money market conditions adjust themselves. Outside of the mbdnetary§ situation market conditions really call for no comgnents. Crops and business outlook are excellent and.the coal strike situa- tion less disturbing.

Technical Position of Both Corn and Oats Is Very Strong. > The grain markets of the week showed no improvement in the outside speculative inquiry and prices were dominated almost entirely by the pit traders and professionals. The range for the week was narrow, but the ten- dency at all (times with the exception of minor rallies, was downward. Market sentiment throughout, while mixed, has not been so universally bearish and several factors of impor- tance developed during the - week to make the bears less confident of their position. Foreigners for the first time on the present movement manifested a desire to enter our markets, but the demand started early in the week was not fully maintained at the Cee: Until export demands improve on an impertant scale it ts hard to see how any pronounced rally can be maintained. Weather conditions in the winter wheat area remain ideal and with the exception of a few scattered complaints fromh unimportant sections, no reports of actual crop damage are being re- ceived. The Ohio State crop report is- sued during. the week showing a condi- tion of wheat of 101 against 98 in De- cember is indicative of the flourishing condition of the winter grain. Receipts in the Northwest continue liberal and stocks of wheat at the prin- cipal points are still piling up. in- neapolis stocks of wheat increased 360,- 000 bu for the week. Argentine shipments for the week were also very liberal and caused a late price. reaction. The movement showed 4,352,000 bu, against. 3,616,000 bu last week, 3,528,000 bu last year and 3,808,000 bu two years ago. Shipments of wheat since January 1 to date are 38,164,000 bu, against 42,407,000 bu for the same period one year ago.

220,000 bu last week, 231,000 bu last year and 746,000 bu two years ago. Shipments of corn to date from Jan. 1 were 4,112,- 000 bu, against 8,394,000 bu for the same period one year ago. Domestic and cash demands in the middle of the week showed improve- ‘ment and the Northwestern markets re- ported a more general demand. Local receipts of wheat continue light and shipments heavy, with the cash demand excellent. Milers report a slightly im- proved inquiry for flour. Corn shows stubborn strength in the face of the continued easy ‘feeling in wheat. The movement from first hands continues light and good dry grain is very #carce. Cash and export demands continue good and stocks generally are expected to show a continued decrease as soon as navigation Northwest opens. Oats were very steady on the strength in corn, and good export and domestic demands. Reports of tardiness in seed- ing are also coming. The_ estimated world’s shipments of wheat for Monday were above ten million bu.

Buyers for good to choice kinds. were hard.to find and this class sold slow the last of the week. tr Generally speaking, the market is 15@ 20c lower than the close o. we week previous, but today desirable kinds ruled better. . A good to choice load of steers, 1326 pounds, sold at $5.45, topped the market, medium to good kinds sold from #4.50@ a age the medium $4.@4.80; inferior nds $3.26@4. Choice to fancy yearlings, $5@6.75; fair to good, $4.@o. There was a declining tendency to the butcher trade all week and the close was 10@l5c lower on all kinds, except the medium to pretty good heifers, which are selling 15@25c lower than the week preceeding. ‘ Cows ruled 10@lic lower, as did can- ners and cutters. Choice to fancy heif- ers, $4.85@5.25; good to choice, $4.35@4.80 ; medium to .good, $3.75@4.20; inferior to, fair, $2.75@3.60. Choice to fancy cows, 50@4.80; medium to good, $3.20@4.40; fair to good cutters, $2.60@3; fair to good canners, $2.15@2.50. The week on Southern cattle prac- tically closed Thursday. Receipts to that day amounted to 2477 head, an increase of over 1000 head compared to this’ period the preceeding week. The supply comprised principally steers, mostly fair to good fed ones, and while the run of grassers was fairly liberal they all come Wednes- day. Prices the first two days of the week were fully steady, Wednesday developed weakness and values dropped 10c. The top for the week was $4.90 for two cars of very good 1213-pound steers. Hogs Weaken Under Supply. Receipts of hogs at the six princi- pal Western markets reached 294,800 head, against 246,000 head the week previous. The increase is attributed to firmer country roads. The run at St. Louis amounted to 32,554 head. The market the first two days ad- vanced about Se each day. But un- der a liberal supply Wednesday and unfavorable reports from other points, this advance was lost. With 8000 head ion. sale Thursday the market opened 5e Iowér, closing dull and 10c lower. Several loads sold at $6.55 Monday, while the top of the market at the close of the week was $6.47% for one load weighing 275 pounds. Good packing hogs sold from $%.30

We say to you, do not part with your stock. It will soon be worth several times what they are Willing, to offer you now. There is no possibility of their getting the majority if Marconi stockholders stand together and don’t sell out to them. Do not sell, but buy all the stock you can. The stock of this company is in the hands of investors, not speculators, and is held by thousands of stockholders all over the country, al] the way from New York to San Francisco, and from the Yukon territory to Panama. In this wide distribution of stock are found the strength and security of the Marconi Company, and proves the wisdom of its policy. The undoubted integrity and ability of the men at the head of the company—its president, Hon, John. W. Griggs, ex-Governor of New Jersey and former Attorney General of the United Stetes in President McKinley's Cabi- net; Mr. H. H. McClure, publisher of McClure's Magazine, and others of equal prominence on the Directorate; the Consulting Engineers, including Thomas A.

A. Edison foresaw early the’ possibilities of ' the Marconi Wireless when he said that “very craft that floats the seas will be supplied with the. Marcon! System;" that any vessel in any part of the world could © be reached. The Marconi Telegraph, he stated, “has a fleld—the ocean—which cannot be touched by any other method. The public demands the wireless system.” Before long the Marconi System will be made com- pulsory. by law on all ocean-going passenger steamships, just as lifeboats, belts and other equipments providing for the safety of passengers and crew are insisted upon - by both the American and British authorities. It is plainly indicated that within the next five years all this large fleet will be equipped with the Marcon! Wireless Telegraph. Admiral Dewey stated that no government today can afford to send out its warships to battle with- out first equipping them with wireless telegraphy. The New York Sun, January 28, 1906, in a three-quar- ter page article devoted to the Marconi System and its great achievements, stated that 1000 messages, commer- cial and perucnet, had been sent from one ship to others and to shore stations on one trip. This means an éx- penditure by passengers of more than $2000 on a single bt trip. On a recent trip to New York from Hamburg the Amerika sent 706 to ee and shore, which, if taken at the minimum rate of $2 per message, would be $1 a some idea of the enormous revenue to the company. ee 5 * History will not only repeat itself, but will surpass itself, in mak fortunes for Marcon! : . for Bell Telephone stoctabtere, the profits of which td an aa ot § are more than Goan eee to demas TT | fed Sed T LAST OFFER. . oor” Fo Z We are, and have been from the start, headquarters for Magecon!

LARGE BUSINESS. According to the latest statement in the public press of Mr. John Bottomley, Secretary of the American Mar- coni Company, we have it that on the basis of the last quarter the messages the American Marconi Company is re- ceiving and sending amount to several hundred thousand words, andat the rate the use of the Marconi tele- graph is increasing will reach millions almost immediately. A ‘large block of the stock of the American Marconi Company is held closely by insiders for a big advance in price to hundreds, even thousands, of wjollars per share. The prospective value of Marconi stocks is unsurpasse:l, unparalleled; it is greater than any other security ever offered.

In consequence of the low capitalization of the company, (6,660,000), they could immediately bring up the value of the securities to many times their present value. We repeat, keep your etecks. We know whereof we are speaking, and our advice is worth heeding. This ad- vertisement appears today as a warning in the leading newspapers of our large cities, so that everybody may be informed. Marconi's stocks are held today by the best people, among whom are bankers, lawyers, physicians, - clergymen, army and navy officers, Senators, public officials, skilled mechanics, merchants, ete. Within the next 90 days the stock of the American Company should double in price. The opening of the transatlantic service to the public from Cape Cod, Mass., and Cape Breton to Poldhu, England, is due within a short time. a

u ‘ ments have recently been leted whereby the princtpal passenger steamers of the Cunard, Hamburg- , North German Lioyd and French Lines have, in addition to the fepuiat Marconi apparatus, been atted long-distance receivers, so that these vessels, of which 13 are so fitted, can be reached at all times during the voyage across the Atlantic.” “Receipts from this source’ and from our regularly equipped vessels, of which there sre over 70 now enjoying the ailvantage of the Marconi system, have increased largely this past year, and in handing in the balance sheet for ‘the past year, our Auditors, Messrs. Menzies, Fawcett, Tod & Co., write: “The Station Expenses and General Ex- _ penses in the te remain about the same, but the Station and Steamship Receipts are more than double those of last year—a re gratifying result.’ "’ - “We ey found it necessary to increase the capacity of our works and assembling room, and we have pleasure in |e that- during the past year the profit in this branch*of our business shows three times more than that of Th : e English Marcon!

Mr. Melville E. Stone, general! manager of the Associated Press, is quoted in the New York Herald of. Feb- ruary 4, 1906, as stating that the results of the secret tests now in progress ‘‘are amazing.’’ The ‘‘syndicates’’ know this, too, and this is another reason for their trying to get this stock away from the present stockholders be- fore they wake up to the realization that their holdings have increased greatly in value as the immediate result of the opening of the transatlantic service to the commerce of the world. From that time onthe Marconi Wireless Telegraph becomes a powerful competitor of the cables, as it can afford to send messages across the Atlantic at leas than half the rate per word charged by the cables, and they fear this will greatly depreciate the value of their stock in the cable companies. The opening of these transatlantic stations will be rapidly followed up by the establishment of more transatlantic stations until there will be as many as there are cables today, which will cut severely into. the receipts of the cable business, whose earnings athount to $25,000,000 annually. There are $647,000,000 invested in needless wires in the United States alone. The substitution of wireless for wires would mean an annua! saving of $20,000,000 in interest. ; The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of América has no more stock ' @tatement of the Company shows that there are but 2000 shares unsold in the held in reserve and AT PRESENT is not for sale at any price. usual, when something is not for sale now, The last financial treasury of the Company, that this ie be had every wants it.

GRAIN MARKET STEADY

Liverpool Advance Causes Cot- ton Prices to Take Sharp Upturn.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. — e NEW YORK, April 7.—The Evening Post, in its weekly review of the mar- kets today, says: Wall Street.—Such surprise as had ex- isted on this week's stock market at the persistent 30 per cent call money rate disappeared when today’s bank state- ment was published. It showed a deficit in the reserves—the first which has oc- curred in the month of April since 1883. This deficit resulted not only from a $7,900,000 decrease in cash holdings— which had been foreshadowed by yester- day’s estimates—but from a_ $7,200,000 loan expension. Primarily, this increase in loans had to do with the “April settlements; last week’s $3,800,000 decrease in that account showed that provision for quarter-day needs had not then been made, NO doubt, borrowings’ by Stock Exchange pools are also included in the reckoning. But what strained the situation as the week went on is now known to have maturing of loans placed on this market and Europe’s during the money squeeze at the opening of the year. Many of these loans have been provided for in this we¢k’s cash money market. « The bank showing makes the existing situation reasonably clear. It is worth mentioning that the deficit shown today at $2,560,000 is larger than either of those reported last November and December, and also exceeds the September deficien cy of 1902. , Today's stock market received the bank return rather curiously. It hesi- tated when the figures first appeared; then broke rather sharply, the active speculative stocks losing a point or more. This done, the price grew. firm- er and the closing was not at all dis- ordered. Clearly, however, it was a market not ready to ‘“‘reflect’’ so unex- pected a bank announcement. Thee Discordant Incidents. It is not often that the same week comprises three such discordant inci- dents as a 30 Wall street, reduction in the Bank of England discount rate, reserve of bor- rowing railways in this country to the expedient of notes and agreement of for- elgn markets to float the quarter of a billion Russion loan. , The two last mentioned episodes throw an odd light on the situation, for a year ago it was the Russian Government which was selling short term notes be- cause investors refused to buy its bonds, and this at the time when American railways were easily placing long-term obligations. The move of the English bank is note- worthy. It certainly seems. upon its face, to be notice that New York, if it wishes, may have London's gold. Yet, along with this announcement comes the news that Lon Street feels itself too poor to subscribe to the Russian loan. By the last advices, Berlin, alse, refuses participation—a decision which, if the report is true, diplomats will cred- it to Russia’s ungratful turning of her back to Germany a fortnight ago at Algeciras, and which financiers will ascribe to the German market’s uncer- tain outlook. Grain.—It is rumored that a few large operators who are supposed to have control of.the May are keeping close watch on the grading. The stronger tendency in the nearby deliveries has nh ascri in part to the improve- ment In the demand, for cash wheat, both for foreign and domestic account, and mainiy at higher premiums. Wheat Fairly Steady. In the wheat market the changes were somewhat inconsequential today, ugh emerarty. early in the session, a slightly higher level was reached, but his was wholly caused by speculative influences. The subsequent’ ‘recession was ascribed to larger offerings, prompt- ed by favorable weather west, good crop rts and tat ary cables. . Corn was strong, as the offerings were small while the demand for domestic and foreign account is fairly brisk. ‘Exporters are in receipt of good or- ders for corn for garly shipment, but

trading is hindered by the meager sup- ply on offer and the high claims of hold- ers. Other.grains are inactive. Cotton.—The cotton market took another one of its peculiar sharp up- turns Over night on the opening of the market today, with prices practically starting with an advance of 1z to 13 points from yesterday’s final bids, with May advancing to 11.21, July 11.17, Oc- tober 10.58 and December 10.60. This improvement was wholly unexpected by the trade here. It was due entirely to the Liverpool market advancing 4 points on spots and futures there and closing firm on that basis, against expectations of a decline of 1 to 2 points. Private cables reported the advance at Liverpool due largely to buying or- ders sent from this side, chiefly from leading local and New Orleans operators, with the strength of the market there Causing some covering of shorts. Most of the pit traders here had either sold out or went short of the market on yes- terday’s late weakness, and this .ad- vance abroad naturally forced considera- ble buying from this class of operators. Their demands were supplied by the clique which had been the most promi- nent buyers of options during the de- cline here late yesterday. There was nothing in the situation but mdnipulation to cause the advance, and from the character of the trading it ig generally believed that the larger professional operators are simply en- gagea in ‘“‘milking’’ the market. The decrease in the world’s visible Supply for the week is only 134,000 bales, which leaves the total world’s visible Supply of all kinds of cotton in all posi- tions still over 4,525,000 bales. This is 302,781 bales larger than a year ago, and 1,389,000 more than in 1904. While the week's end statistics make a bullish showing with another large decrease in the visible supply, the total world’s visible supply is still so far above last year’s figures and also those of the previous two years that it will réquire the development of something sensationally bullish before outsiders or the public will indulge in any ex- ensive’ investments or speculative buy- ing at this high range of prices. They would not come in three weeks ago when prices were selling in the neigh- borhood of 10% cents for the old crop and 10 cents for the new _ months, and now that prices are still % to % cents per pound higher, with most proieSsion- al traders skeptical of the permanency of any bull campaign, they are very cautious. STOLE CREPE OFF DOOR. Charged with stealing the crepe from the front door of a home where a mem- ber of the family was dead and after- wards pawning the mourning token for a drink in a nearby saloon a man giving his name as George Fisher is locked up at the Carr Street Police Station. The crepe was stolen from the door of John Smith’s home, 804 Morgan street. Mr. Smith’s son was dead and the fam- ily and friends were holding a wake. When the crepe was missed Private Watchman H. R. Brock went on a hunt for it and finally found it in @ saloon. Fisher was arrested and identified by the bartender as the man who pawned it for a drink. Fisher denied the steal- ing, but he was locked up. DEATHS. April 7, at 4:80 p. m., G band of A oo nd Francis 3004 curt w a member of Interna- nists’ Union, Local No. 41. A

INSANE” MAN JUMPS FROM 70- FOOT WINDMILL With Throat Cut, Young Farmer’s Hand Leaps to His Death.

STABS SELF FIVE TIMES es Bleeding From His Wounds He Climbs to Make Fatal Plunge. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BLOOMINGTON, Ill, April 7. -— Perched upon the dizzy height of a 70- foot windmill, bleeding from a self-ih- flicted wound in his throat, George Mor- rison, afarmer’s handin the employ of George Mecherle, four miles east of this city, wavered a moment, then closed his eyes and leaped into space. He was dashed to pieces on the ground beneath. He was unmarried, 2% years old, and, while never known to be ec- centric in any way, went violently in- sane shortly after noon. Obtaining a large butcher knife he alarmed the fam- ily of his employer by suddenly appear- ing before them and stabbing himself four times in the breast in an attempt to reach his heart. He then viciously slashed his throat with the knife. With the blood stream- ing from his wounds, Morrison ran from the house, out through the barnyard and climbed the 70-foot windmill. The horrified’ Mrs. Mecherle staggered to the doorway just in time to see Mor- rison poised upon the platform sur- mounting the windmill and saw him take his awful leap. Leaping upon @ horse she rode to where her husband was working in the field and fainted at his side. Morrison is supposed to have become deranged over a love affair which end- ed unhappily several years ago, and since which he has been reserved and {| uncommunicative,

PERSONALITY OF BEARDSLEY WON Frank Walsh Explains Election of Republican Mayor. in Kansas City.

FOLK GAINING STRENGTH Says Democrats Will Carry the State in the Fall by. Big Majority. Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City, one of the prominent leaders of the Folk organization in Western Missouri, at the Southern Hotel last night declared that the victory of the Republicans in Kan- sas City last Tuesday was due largely to the personality of H. M. Beards ey, Republican nominee for Mayor, rather than to any State or municipal issue injected into the campaign. “The Republicans are crowing over the Tere City Sesult, yaaa Pc will change e- two years 0 ” ie Weis y rom now,” said “If a vote were taken in Kansas City tomorrow on Gov. Folk’s lid policy, the lid would be triumphant by two to one. Mr. Beardsley served eight years as & member of the Municipal Assembly and made a fine record. r candidate, Mr. Gregory, while able and influential, lacked support in his own party. “The: chief question before the voters related to the renewal of the franchises of the Metropolitan Street Railway Co. —the pet $20,000,000 corporation that re- ceived so many favors from the old Missouri Democratic regime. “Both candidates declared against a renewal eof the franchise on the old terms and each pledged himself to work for 3-cent fare. “There was not a great deal of inter- est in the election... The erstwhile po- litical favorites of the Dockéry admin- istration sat back and did nothing. Ex-Governor Not on Stump. “Even ex-Gov. Dockery himself, who waS a frequent visitor in Kansas City. was not seen on the stump. “The ex-Governor contented himself by wandering about the lobbies of the Baltimore Hotel, hobnobbing with polit- ical cronies who can see nothing but disaster in sight for the Democrats in Missouri this year. Occasionally he sat down and smoked a cigar in oné of the soft cushioned chairs that are provided for rural guests. But he' never came near the headquarters, and yet he is asking the Democrats to send him back to Congress from the Third District. “Well, he will have to light his pipe again if he expects to wear'a label of approval frem the Kansas City Demo- crats. “Folk is stronger in Missouri today than he ever was. I believe the Demo- crats will carry the State in the fall by a majority ranging from 20,000 to 30,- 000. True, the Republicans are counting on the support of the brewers, the race- track interests and ‘other elements op- posed.to strict law enforcement. But everybody knows these interests, when the. vote is large and the count square, can’t elect anybody.’’ ? AN ? ?

‘Candidates for Prosecuting At- torney in County Talk “Without Personalities.” Rival candidates for Republican nominatiéns in St. Louis County ad- dressed 200 members of the Midland Republican Club at Page and Fergu- son avenues last night. The principal speakers were R. L. Johnston, Prose- cuting Attorney of St. Louis County, who seeks a renomination at the pri- maries May 7, and Buell L, Matthews, who wants to succeed Johnston. Matthews prefaced his remarks by saying that he was not making @ personal fight. “Tl do not charge anybody with cor- ruption,” he said, “but we all know that a prosecutor should not represent special interests. Many believe that there have been neglect of duty and incompetency in certain offices in this county, especially during the World’s Fair period and during the fight on the racetracks. Conditions were per- mitted to become so deplorable that the Governor was forced to send po- lice from St.° Louis to preserve law and order in the county. Gambling was permitted to go unchecked and immoral shows and dance ‘rooms had immunity until the good citizens rose up and ‘got injunctions against them from the courts.” Mr. Matthews said that if he were ‘elected Prosecuting Attorney he woul, see that there would be no temporiz- ing with crime in the county, Johnston began his speech by say- ing: ey was born a gentleman and be- came a Republican afterwards. Being a gentleman, I will not descend to personalities.” He defended his record and said that he did not close the racetracks because he desired to proceed in a legal way and to gather evidence og which to convict the gamblers. The use of the public in the county, he said, was 2 political maneuver. WRAY A CANDIDATE. Wants Nomination for Railroad Commissioner, Richard M. Wray, sergeant-at-arms of the City Council, yesterday announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomi- nation for railroad and warehouse com- missioner. Politicians say that Mr. Wray will have the solid support of the 8t. Louis Democratic organization. It is pointed out by his friends that Mr. Wray is a valuable man for the position of rail road commissioner not only on account of long legislative. experience but for the reason that he has had 20 years of experience in practical raHroading. Mr. Wray is a native of St. Chartes County. where he was born 52 years ago. He was educated tn St. Louis and St. Charles. At the age of 16 he left school to enter the service of the Wabash Railroad Co., a8 @ messenger. Subsequently he had em loyment with the Burlington and Wabash Ratlroad anies.

shina TWO PEOPLE HURT After Demolishing Buggy Ani- mal Dashes Along South Broadway Sidewalk. ~ & WOMAN AND CHILD HURT

Mrs. Will, 70 Years Old, Could Not Get Out of Path, Following a collision with an iron trolley pole at B way and Lesper- ance street yesterday afternoon, a run- away horse became detached from the buggy and with sections of the harness dragging along the grovnd and trippin the animal at every leap, the horse too the sidewalk for the remainder of its wild career and knocked down an old woman and a 4year-old child, injuring them seriously before being captured. Those injured were: Mrs. Annie Will, 70 years old, severe contusions on the head and back; taken to the home of hter, 411 Trudeau street. chuster, 4 years old, severe cut on forehead; not dangerous; taken to her thome, 3342 Salena street by her parents. The street was crowded with shop- ers at the time, and the sight of the Sores in fts headlong run north from Russell avenue, where it first appeared on the busy thoroughfare with the in- evitable collision, resulting in the wreck- ing of the vehicle and the injury to pe- destrians, caused a crowd ef several hundred people to gather at the scene of the accident. Mrs. Will, on account of extreme age, although walking to- ward the runaway, was unable to get out of the way after realizing her dan- ger, and, as she fell beneath the feet of the plunging horse, there was 4a scream from half a dozen women who stood near by and who thought she had been killed. Two men came out of stores nearby and carried the aged wom- an to the office of Dr. Wenger, where she soon revived and Was able to be removed to the home of her daughter in a short time. ~ After knocking Mrs. Will down tha horse continued at high speed along the sidewalk, overtaking Mr. and Mrs. Schuster and their little datigh- ter who were walking north on Broadway. In stumbling by them the horse struck the child, knocking her down with great force, her head being severely cut from contact with the sidewalk. The child was not ren- dered unconscious and after simple treatment at a drug Store was taken home by her parents. Ernest Ghant, a negro bootblack at 1920 1-2 South Broadway, ran out and seized the animal by the remnant of bridle that remained about its head and succeeded in stopping it. A few minutes later George H. Ba- len, 2709 Eads avenue, owner of the horse, put fn an appearance, He is in the employ of the city in the street department. It was stated that the horse was drinking at the fountain at Ninth street and Russell avenue, the driver being engaged in adjusting the har- ness, when an automobile came speed- ing down the Russell avenue hill, frightening the animal and causing it to run away, : 7 — GORKY WILL MEET ~ AEDS: N- GOTHAM Lasders of Russian Revolution- ary Parties to Confer in New York. NEW YORK, April 7.—Alexei Maxi- mavitch Peshkoff, known all over the world by his pen name of Gorky, is expected to arrive in this city next Tuesday from Berlin. He will prob- ably be met at the pier by Ivan Na- rodny and some of the other Russian

‘revolutionary leaders, and will stay at the revolutionary headquarters here. According to Narodny, who js in this’ country as. the representative of the military revolutionary party, Gorky is coming to New York as the official representative of the Russian Sociab Democratic party. ; With Tohaimoffsky, the representa- tive of the Russian Social Revolution- ary party, the three principal revolu- tionary parties are represented in this country and will act in unison trying to influence American sympathy for the revolutionary movement. In the course of an interview today Narodny said: _ “TI do not believe that Russia will ever be able to throw off the yoke ex- cept by force. Reasoning with the party in power only brings us to prison. The militafy party works among the army and navy and. wé¢ count that at least 40 per cent of the officers are in favor of our plans. “The most severe blow the military party suffered was the execution of Lieut. Schmidt. The failure of his en- terprise was entirely due to an acci- dent. When he had made full prepara- tions for the revolt of the Black Sea fleet he wrote letters to Cronstadt and Libau, warning the leaders of the movement among the sailors there to be ready, f Planne@d General Naval Revolt. “But just then the postal strike broke out.” The leaders in those two cities did not receive the instructions until many days later, and the sailors in the Black Sea, who did not hear from us, lost heart, and the whole mévement ended sadly in the execution of Schmid; who was undoubtedly the best leader we had.” As to the douma, Narodny declared that he had very little trust in that legislative body. “The elections,” he said, “are al- most entirely in the hands of the Gov- ernment. Of course, it- has been stated that the people might make up a list cf candidates, but at the same time the law declared that pergons indicted for a political crime could not be candidates. Whenever a person is made a candidate for election by the le and he is not agreeable to the Government ft is a very easy matter to connect him with some political disturbance and, accord- ing to the law he cannot be a legal candidate any longer. The douma, in my opinion, is nothing but a means for the yernment to obtain money from foreign investors. The Government wishes to convince those foreigners that Russia has joined the rank of the con- stitutional monarchies and that it is perfectly safe to invest in the country.” JUDGE GRAVES APPOINTED Will Go on Supreme Bench To- morrow. Gov, Folk Saturday issued a commis- sion to Waller W. the Supreme William C. eral weeks ago. 3 annou mee caer

‘course, is the lily. Most of thoee used in St. Louisa ire grown in the local gre-nhou es. Bulbs are ‘rought on from the East during the early winter rr late fall, having been shipped to New York, Bos- » ote ° : . Ae oon and other points earlier in the season from Japan and Bermuda. One or two St. Louis houses fetch the bulbs direct, but chiefly they are had from large im- porting florists in the coast cities. Chicago, also, isa jiobbing center for bulbs and flowers, and some of the smaller of St. Louis have all their orders filled in the Windy City, and most of them derend on that city for rush orders to fill in at the last minute if they find that their calculations have been below the actual demand for lilies. florists As Easter approaches the price of lilies goes up, A local florist says, however, that likely otherwise: for. up and ever up. the price for cut flowers is more to range around $2.50 a plants, from 8&1 to $3, aceording to the size and condition. On the other hand, that is an average price and weather doven than conditions might force it very materially. “] nae known a lily to le worth $1.50 on Easter Sunday,” says one *t. Louis florist. “which. on Mon- day, wouldn’t be worth more than 35 cents.” This remark indicates the necessity of close jucg- ment on the part of the florist in preparing for his Easter trade. If he overstocks he sees his profits melt in a night. If he understocks he loses just as materially, for, to quote the florist before mentioned, “I have never yet seen the time when lilies could be had in St. Louis on the Monday after Easter.” The demand, then, is very great. Lily bulbs are potted when first received - and placed in a “cold frame” until the latter part of December or the first of January. Then they are placed in a house where the temperature is about 60 at night. This is expected to bring the flowers out at the right time for aster, and on his success in doing this depends the final profit of the. florist. If he miscaleulates and his chortly before Easter, flowers - have not “blown” he finds it necessary to force them by adding to eroom in which they are kept. to flower, but the blooms are they will be soft and will not keep so well. the temperature of the This will cause ther not so desirable, as On the other hand, lilies that come along rather naturally under a temperature of about 60 will be strong and hardy and may be kept in comparatively good con- dition for as long as a week or 10 days. Because of the individual strength or we ikness of plants, lilies require constant care on the part of the during their growth from’ the bvlb to the must be shifted from house to florist flower state. and from high to low The have been in as they have had an opportunity to harden and are therefore in letter shape for Leing paeked and han. They vice that week before Eas‘er, house temperature, or versa. mest desirable flowers are those lloom at leaat a dled Ne:t to lilies, florists generally consider the azalea

as the most desirable Easter plant. It is received by the Eastern florist in bulb form, like the lily, only the bulbs in this state come from Belgium. Their care and growth are similar to that of the lily. Roses are, perhaps, more largely in demand with the public at Easter time than any other flower be- sides the lily. As a mdtter of fact, the Easter trade in roses is almost as great as the demand at Christ- mas time, and the prices frequently run up accord- ingly. Amefican Eeauties go well, and the Crimson Rambler is regarded by florists as a mainstay. Lilacs are also much used as Easter flowers an for decorations, and geraniums are always obtaina- ble and in demand, being a beautiful flower and not so expensive as the lily. Quite a number of other plants and flowers are used at this season, but those here mentioned are ehiefly depended upon by the florist to materially increase his bank account and pay the expenses of his family at the seasho e during the coming suninier. Easter is the harvest time for the florist if he is successful in his preparations for it. It is just at the opening of spring, and most people are in the humor to celebrate the event by liberalities of one kind and another, even where they are not particu- larly appealed to by the religious sentiment of the occasion. An Easter plant, or, at least, a flower or a number of them, is frequently sent to some of one’s friends, or by the rich to those of their less fortunate neighbors, whose homes they hope to brighten. Then, too, a great many flowers are used at about this season of the year in cemeteries, it being not only an appropriate, but, frequently, the earliest op- portunity for the decoration of graves. Chiefly, how- ever, the flowers and plants are used by the churches for decoration, and great quantities are employed in this manner in the magnificent houses of worstuy in St. Louis. Not a few flowers and plants, and frequently ane of the finest of the lilies, are sent to hospita’s, <i het by friends to individual friends in tho-e places, or ly wealthier people who are, again, seeking to sprwke the brightness of the season and the oceasion inte those places where brightness and cheer are wogt needed. : In a purely commercial sense, a phase of the Euxter flowér trade that is highly valuable to St. Lous florists is that with small towns and cities surround: ing. Great quantities of flowers are shipped out b. small dealers, and not intreguently orders of large proportions come from wealthy individuals of smaller towns,or from outlying churches or religious insatitu- tions. In his desire to be prepared for wy such oF- ders as tlese at the last minute, even after the civ trade has been largely supplied, and still to so gauge his supply that be will not have any flowers or piints left after Easter, the flower merchant must exercise a quality of judgment that usually is born only of experience—and sometimes of rather costly < ences. =~ = Baron Nathaniel Von Rothschild was singularby superstitious. About 20 years ago a palmist told him that he would live so long as the new palage which he was erecting at that time, and te which he intended to transfer his priceless art collections, remained uncompleted.

The United Hebrew Congregation has been on King’s highway and Morgan since 1899, when it removed from Twenty-first and Morgan.

And this has been true whether the war was for the recovery of a sacred tomb, the freeing of a slave peo- ple or the subjugation of a helpless empire. Wars of literature are not exempt. And the final good— that’s the thing. Lawson began it. He threw the first bomb into the camp of “The System.” He uttered the first warwhoop. Also, he got the first scalp, and, may- hap, withstood the first libel suit. To be sure, there were exposures before Lawson. Newspapers in many places have gained fame and credit—and cir- culation—by the method. Evils have been de- stroyed, schemes circumvented, men hanged, men saved from hanging. But these were different. Except for that great campaign whereby the New York World circumivented the bond grab during the Cleveland administration, these exposures of the past have been chiefly local, or, at most, state-wide. But, more markedly, in contrast with the present Literature of Exposure, the old style campaigners were different in this respect: They had a distinct object in view. This was to be done, or that pre- vented, and when whatever was in view at es Ha ginning of the campaign was accomplished, then the campaign was ended. Sometimes a corrupt judge was to be defeated, a closed street to be opened, a thieving gang run out of the Legislature. But al- ways a campaign was planned in its entirety. The whole field was viewed from beginning to end. A distinct result was aimed at, and when it was achieved then the end came—or another exposure. Enter Lawson, pioneer of the literary rainmakers. He began this strange new process of simply firing great bombs in the air with no other apparent ob- ject than to make a noise. He told the people to watch, that they would presently see the clouds gather as a result, and then, he said. the blessed rain would come to relieve their financia] condition, The clouds did gather, so strenuous was J] bombardment, and from month to month he contin- ued to tell the people that at the end he would show them'a tangible result. For months people hung on his every word and looked for results with each suceeding bomb, just as the Kansas farmer watched the rainmakers,. Like the rainmakers, too, Lawson claimed the credit when a few drops did begin to fall on the panies. sawson’s 7 insurance com- Some agree with him that his bombardment

brought about the result, others do not think s0. Before Lawson had been long in the field, and while the magazine which had discovered him was growing by leaps and bounds, others began to follow. MecClure’s Magazine had, for some time, been run- ning a “History of Standard Oil,” by Miss Ida Tar- bell. It was intended by the publishers that this should be a dispassionate setting down of facts rath- er than an indictment. It was such, and as such had effect in preparing the public mind for the vitriolic assaults of Lawson. Lincoln Steffens also preceded Lawson. Steffens wrote the first of his “Shamelessness of Cities” ar- ticles, with St. Louis as the subject, before Lawson entered the arena. In like manner, William Allen White had written a few “Character Sketches From a Safe Distance” of Tom Platt, Grover Cleveland and other public individuals, and a few other authors and publications had bordered on the Literature of Ex- posure before Lawson actually brought it out sharp, clear, distinct and noisily. For a short while the magazine world stood back and looked on at the campaign Lawson was: mak- ing. It was variously regarded as “unusual,” “re- markable.” “vellow,” “anarchistic.” ‘The first result in the way of “literature,” perhaps, was that it ral- lied a publication or two and a few writers to the defense of the other side—a small and, as a rule. a mercenary army. But before the Lawson articles had got well started’ other publications hegen 1 to see the way and the light. Next in importance to Lawson’s attack on “The System” as a whole came Charles Edward Russell’s story of the Beef Trust.. This, perhaps, is the best written, the ablest of all the magazine exposures that have appeared up to date. It was written by a trained writer, 1 man who could tell his. story force- fully, effectively, yet without partisan passion such as marked the first series of the Lawson articles. On the heels of the Beef Trust series came the whole marching army of “exposers.” Steel was at- tacked, patent medicines were assailed, the coal barons were bearded in theit mines, the railroads were warred upon, and the “money power,” the “Sys- tem,” was made the center and Circumference of wordy war. And all this was carried on along the lines of the lately defined Literature of Exposure rather than after the style newspapers had pursued in the past with individual or local abuses. It was all a con-

glomerate firing in the air, a denunciation of means and methods, but without any attempt or suggestion of a remedy. On the theory—if the campaign has been actuated by any theory—that once the public was “made aware of the existence of these wide- spread evils” ‘t would do the rest, the magazines have devoted themselves to uncovering wrongdoing and corruption and leaving it exposed to public view. That men have been ruined financially, that they have been sent to their graves or to worse than their graves, that restitution has been partly forced, in this instance or that, or even that wrongdoers have been sent to prison, does not argue, by any means, against the statement that these campaigns have not been bounded and outlined by a. distinct object. Those happenings have, in every case, been incidents of the general campaign. In no case has a magazine started a series of “ex- posure” articles with the distinct and defined un- derstanding that when a certain evil was corrected, when a certain bad man was run out of office, that the campaign would end. Senator Mitchell of Ore- gon died, but that did not end the war against the land grabbers.. President Alexander went to a sani- tarium and President McCall to his grave, but that did not stop the insurance campaigns. There have been rumors of disaster, mental and physical, in Standard Oil circles, but the Literature of Exposure goes calmly on its way, apparently not marking these things even as milestones. Recently the exposers have seemed to mass and center their forces. They have marched on to Wash- ington and attacked the national law bodies. The United States Senate is being pilloried on every side. In magazines, in books, in newspapers and even in socialistic pamphlets, scattered broadcast, coming apparently from nowhere and going every- where, the campaign against “the American House of Lords” is being continued. Taking the Literature of Exposure as a whole, however, it is a remarkable fact, and one never there- tofore emphasized, that while the magazines that started and have carried on the campaigns are pub- lished chiefly in the East, the real battle ground has been the Southwest. When the prodding of the octopus began his first snorts resounded throughout Kansas. When the Beef Trust was attacked, the creature squirmed for a thousand miles to the west and south of St. Louis. Even the war on Amalga- mated Copper was watched with as great self-inter- est by Arizona, North Mexico and Montana as it was by the Lake Superior miners or the Boston share holders. In the West almost exclusively was the interest in the fight on the land grabbers. Of all the cam- paigns inaugurated or carried out, only one has come at all near having its whole seat in the East, and that is the war on the Coal Trust. That lusty | octopus has its lair in Pennsylvania, but its ten- tacles reach to the furthermost quarters of the land. Some of the principal contributors to the Litera- ture of Exposure are Thomas W.

It views from a new perspective social malady as p?- of lynching the accused It is. the growing and denying them their rights under the law. ae a feast day. unlikely that, until now, anyone has this Judge Lynch of today as the and illegal jurist that sent the Savior to the cross. “Lynch law is usually credited as an American product,” says Mr. Wellford, after reciting the num- ber of lynchings in the United States in 1903-4 and the United States there are now as many illegal as legal submitting the startling comparison that in of it, is to “The most awful application There executions. however, belongs to the first century. be found par excellence the unauthorized mob, there the. most innocent victim, the grantly defied, there the judicial branches of government most actively engaged, there the most deliberate cruelty, there the most ex- eruciating agony. It excels in brutality, and in the slaughter of the innocent, all succeeding offenses.” The author asks the reader to remember that the times of Christ were unique. The Roman eagle had supplanted the shield of David. Israel’s law bound in Roman enactments. Certain prerogatives of justice still remained with the conquered people, but sovereignty was with the Caesars. The policy there law most fla- and military was of Rome was not to dispossess any conquered people of- customs which did not clash with Roman im- perialism. She reserved for herself the arbitrament of life and death, leaving the laws of her colonies otherwise undisturbed. Thus, any person to death except by Roman consent. Prior to the Roman conquest, capital punishment had been in the hands of the lesser or provincial San- hedrin, which was dispossessed of this arbitrament Israel could not put -when, 40 years before the destruction of the Temple, the authority in matters of life and death had been entirely taken away from the Hebrews. This pro- vineial Sanhedrin consisted of 23 members, whereas the Sanhedrin proper, which the Hebrew court, consisted of 73. “There were three stars around which Hebrew jurisprudence,” Mr. Wellford was revolved continues. -“They were an open trial, an untrammeled defense and unimpeachable testimony. The first necessitat- ed @ court that sat only by day, the second insured to the accused a thoughtful hearing and assured against all violence, whilst the third credited the prisofier with the benefit of every doubt and re- quired the commonwealth to present a company of eredible’ witnesses. “If, Jesus was rationally accused of blasphemy, it was incumbent upon the Sanhedrin to take cogni- vance of it. A warrant for His arrest must be issued by the legal authority and placed in the hands of an executive officer before His liberty could be in- fringed. Even then, after His arrest. judgment must be arrested until His guilt was established. must be brought into court by day, Jesus and that not The indictment must be read and an opportunity given the prisoner to plead, And a plea of guilty did not throw the accused upon the merey of the court nor establish his offense.

In the house of the High Priest the pris- oner, still bound and blindfolded, was mocked and insulted in violation of the Hebrew law for the protection of persons awaiting trial. 10. Already had the cock crowed, and al- though it was not yet day. the chief priests and scribes came together and caused the pris- oner to be brought before them. This was illegal for two reasons: First. the Jewish law prohibited all such proceedings by night: sec- ond, it was the Feast of the Passover (the most solemn of all festivals), and, according to the Jewish law, no judicial procedure could take place on a feast day under penalty of being null and void. al- be 11.

Caiaphas proceeded to interrogate the prisoner, although in the preceding assemblage he had made himself the accuser, His acting as judge was therefore irregular. 13. Caiaphas began his interrogatories, not by questioning the prisoner as to positive acts @eme and facts personal to himself, but as to @emeral facts respecting his disciples and @ings concerning his doctrine. as to which he should have summoned witnesses. This was wholly irregular. Caiaphas, declared him to 14. One of: the officers struck the prisoner with the palm of his hand, saying: “Answer- est thou the high priests s0?”’ Thfs Outrage was committed in the presence and under the eyes of the whole counsel, and not being re- strained by the High Priest he therefore be- came an accomplice, especially when violence was committed under pretense of avenging an alleged offense to his dignity. The answer which the prisoner had given was not offen- sive, 15. The witnesses put on the’ stand con- tradicted each other. 16. Calaphas called upon the prisoner to testify, a gross infraction of the rules of morals and jurisprudence, which forbade the placing of an accused person between the dan- ger of perjury and the fear of incriminating himself. the The possess the power of life was alone reserved to the 17.

Contrary to the spirit of the Hebrew law, the prisoner was then treated with insult by bystanders without restraint by the High Priest. Even if the members of the council had not been present it was their duty under the law to protect the prisoner, and Caiaphas, moreover, was doubly culpable because shene insults took place in his house. 21. Upon the taking of the prisoner to the Judgment Hall of Pilate, the Roman governor, on the same day, the accusation was sud- denly changed from blasphemy to treason. 22. Herod, after examining the prisoner ‘and concluding that the charge was groundless, subjected bim to ridicule and remanded him back to Pilate, who had previously declared, “I find in him no fault at all.’”’ 23. Pilate, after declarinz the prisoner to be innocent scourged him. 24. The prisoner was oblized to incriminate himself, contrary to the law. 25. Pilate, after first declaring the prisoner innocent then without further evidence, guilty and deserving of chastisement, finally con- demned him to death, although the Roman law expressly declared that no man should be twice put in Jeopardy on the same charge. 26. The sentence of death was pronounced and executed on the day of the conviction, contrary to law. 27. Further illegalities were displayed in the violence shown to Simon, the Cyrenian, who was made, in some degree, to share the punish- ment by being compelled to carry the cross, and by the injurious treatment which at- tended the victim to the place of execution. Caiaphas sought to condemn the Savior own declaration alone, as interpreted High Priest, although this was for- the law of the Hebrews.

Witnesses will go upon the stand to show that he maintained an intimacy with one Madame Elise, liv- ing in Charlotte street, London, and that she stated to her landlady that Druce was the Duke of Port- land. These witnesses will describe Druce as identi- eal in characteristics and appearance with the fifth Duke of Portland. One witness, Mrs. Hamilton, tells how Madame Elise got all the money she wanted from Druce, who, in 1876, gave her £5000 and sent her to Paris, this money “being obtained,” Mrs. Hamilton, by her father, “from Druce at Wel- beck.” Mr. Stuart, the father of this right-hand man of the fourth Duke of Portland and the confidant of the Fifth Duk», and this testi- mony is expected to show what other testimony will prove, that a large number of people believed at the time that Druce and the fifth Duke of Port- says witness. was the land were one and the same man. A remarkable feature of the case is that George Bentinck was accidentally killed in a quarrel with Lord William Bentinck (Druce) over a woman named. Annie May Berkeley. Mr. Payne, manager for Druce for many years, will swear that a woman named Berkeley frequently came _ to the Baker Street Bazaar and quarreled with Druce. Druce married her in 1851, and the certifi which will be produced, shows that she went to the Lord who was marriage ate, altar under the name Annie May. She was an ille- the noble house of Berkeley. In his remarkable erticles about this case, being published in the [dler of England, the claimant points out that it is extraordinary that a young man in the position of Lord William Bentinck could disappear from 1516 to 1820, leaving no record. He was neither at Eton, Harrow, Oxford nor Cam- bridge. Among all the biographies of the fifth Duke no statement appears af to his whereabouts during The records prove that these were the gitimate daughter of Magazine these vears. years when young Druce was living with his wife.

The Baker Street Bazaar was tunneled, making it possible for Druce to enter and leave with- out his movements being known. “I have many witnesses,” says the plaintiff, stories enable me to piece together this Jekyll and Hyde existence. In 1854 the Duke’s servants had “whose orders that his carriage was to be left over night in’ readiness for his traveling to London. The next day the carriage was, without inspection as to whether it was occupied or not, to be driven to the railroad station near Welbeck, placed on a truck and con- veyed to London, where servants were to be in readi- ness with horses to drive it to Harcourt House, the Duke’s town house. This absurd performance was repeated daily, sometimes the Duke being inside the carriage and sometimes not. It was impossible to know whether the carriage: was oceupied or empty, and no servant would dare to satisfy his curiosity on this point. “This curious custom could have existed only for the purpose of making it impossible for anybody to locate him either at London or W elbeck, and thus enable him to give attention at the same time to his affairs as the Duke and to his affairs as Druce.” The habits of Druce and the Duke were similar. Employes of both will testify to their identical idiosyneracies. Extraordinary secrecy main- tained at the Bazaar about Druce’s movements. and nobody knew exactly when he was in his private office, which he could reach by a trap door from tunnels leading in various directions. SAME SECRECY ABOUT “We find,” says the claimant, “that same secrecy at Harcourt House. If anybody sought admission there they had to knock at the carriage gates, where they were subjected to rigorous scrutiny by the por- ter.

Son of the Famous Civil War General Takes the Raising From the Dead as His Text— “Believest Thou?”’---What Easter Signi- fies Throughout the Christian World. By Rev. Thos. Ewing Sherman, S. J. HIS is an old, sweet story, the sweetest in all 1 the world; one of those Gospel tales written for the benefit of every soul evermore. We read that when our Lord and Savior walked on this earth there lived quite near to Jerusalem a rich gentleman who had a son and two daughters. From time to time, when our Savior had been teaching in the Temple, when he was weary and discouraged be- cause he was rejected and despised, he went out feel- ing forlorn and wret«hed—for he was a man like ourselves so far as sentiments went—he went out to that little cottage, that little home at Bethany, and there was entertained by Martha and by Mary. This idea] man, this splendid and glorious charac- ter, leaned on the love, the devotion, the tenderness, the solicitude of those women, and allowed his heart to be buoyed up and strengthened by the sympathy, by the tenderness, by the devotion of thoroughly good women. Such is the province of woman, such is her providential part and that part she has filled superbly, magnificently, from the very dawn of cre- ation. So the greatest of all men, when disappointed, downcast, disheartened, went out to Bethany and

r Rev Thomas Ewing Sherman S.J. \ | ~~. Father Sherman, the writer of this interes Zin Kaster leason, is well known to St. Louisans. He is a son of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, the hero of the March to the Sea, to whom he bears a marked resemblance. He spent many years in this city after becoming a Jesuit. SDDS DHSS SS-SS$S666FF6F6S6SS SHSSOOEOS . there Martha, by her innate solicitude and care, ten- der sweetness and tactful courtesy, and Mary, by simply sitting at his feet, looking up into his eyes, smiling at him, and drinking in his wisdom, gave him solace at once for his bodily wants and for the wants of his tender and devoted heart. the thought of this, for this was the beginning of that divine idea of friendship, of noble relations be- tween the sexes, which has been the test of our civ- ilization, source of its gallantry, its chivalry, its broadstone of honor. The tire came when this friendship was put to the critical test. Martha knew him as a superb man, as a great teacher, for had she not heard in the Temple? Martha knew that he was a wondrous healer; had she not seen that poor leper creeping up the street and crying out “Unclean, unclean,” and had she not seen the Master walking down to meet the sufferer, approaching the Jeper? Had she not heard the leper crying out with joy and delight as now the fresh tide of life flowed once more through every vein and artery’ MARTHA KNEW OF MIRACLES. Martha knew of that man, born blind, who had first seen the light after meeting Jesus in the Tem- ple. She knew of a thousand cures he had wrought. But there was something so familiar, so sweet and so human about him that she never got quite far enough to adore him, and at last the test came of their religious relations to one another. Her brother, the support of her life, lay ill. The Master was at a distance. The message is sent to him that Lazarus is ill. That is enough. He will come, if need be on the wings of the wind. He who gave healing to so many, surely he will come to his best-loved friend. He who went out into the lanes and the highways and the byways to heal the sick, surely he will come to the household of those that love him best. And so hope is strong in Martha’s héart, and she fans the fevered brow and thinks the next hour he will come and Lazarus will be cured. But no, the sun sinks in the west, darkness comes down over the cottage. Lazarus is gasping. The doctor says he cannot live much longer. And the Master, where is he? No word, no message. At length the conflict between hope and fear, and despond is over. Lazarus has breathed his last and lies there dead. The all-conqueror has laid his hand on the brow of the friend of the Master, and he, too, has paid the penalty of our original sin. FORGETS HER FAITH. Then Martha forgets her faith, thinks only of the moans and weeps and yields to her womanly grief. Friends gather, there is a great funeral cor- tege, and Lazarus is wrapped in his winding sheet and laid to rest in the tomb of his fathers. Days pass by, and when she has almost forgotten to think of what her hope has been, news comes that the Master is near at hand. Something of her old activity revives and she rushes out of the house and down the street. There she sees him approaching with downcast head and sad look. Now she falls at his feet. “Oh, Lord, if Thou hadst been here my brother had not died.” “Martha, he shall rise again.” “Oh, I know he will rise again in the last day.” She has the Jewish faith and she knows that in some distant time, when God’s providence chooses dead, to see again that kind face of her loved brother. There come a mysterious power into the voice of him before her. “Martha, Martha, I am the resurrection and the

with her brother lying cold in death, she is asked by her best friend, this perfect man, “Martha, I am the resurrection. You don’t have to wait thousands of years. It is here.

Rise of the Waka Foof KuWal Society— National Enemy of Race Suicide—An Organized Crusade Acainst Bechelors and Spinsters After Japanese Methods—Your Dearest Friend or Nearest Neighbor May Be One—Young Married People Study Oriental Methods for Adding to Blessings of Home. HE personal popularity of the polite, urbane Japanese in charge of the Japanese exhibits at the St. Louis Exposition, together with the wonderful victories won on land and sea, has led te such a craze for things Japanese as has never been known before. Few visitors te St. Louis during the summer of 1904 but took home with them some Japanese curio, so that today Japanese vases, pottery, screens, cab- inets, rugs, mats, bric-a-brac and all sorts and con- ditions of art goods are scattered from ocean to ocean. Americans are even aping the Japanese man- ners and instead of the Japanese being Oriental Yankees, Americans are in a fair way to become Oc- cidental Japanese. The very latest thing in this Japanese craze is the Waka Foof Kuwai. Never heard of it? Then you’re way behind the times. The Waka Foof Kuwai is neither a breakfast food nor a patent shoe polish; it is a club of young married people. Waka means young; Foof means married people, and Kuwai means society. The Waka Foof Kuwai is an organization of young married people who are trying to make the marital tie as binding and sacred in America as it is in Japan; whose highest ambition is to make the home in America as free from strife, as everlasting and as firmly rooted in love and happiness as is the home in Japan. With the Japanese young married people, home ties are everything; dissension and strife are un- known; divorces unheard of; better hari kari than a decree of separation. The Waka Foof Kuwai hopes some day to make all Americans Japanese, in this If you are not a member, therefore, of any Waka . Foof Kuwai, lose no time in asking for an applica- tion card; very probably one of your nearest and best friends can accommodate you; the fad has start- ed, it will not be long in spreading all over the coun- try. Once you have received this application card you will have to disclose some family secrets; confess whether you or your marital partner is the ruler of the household, whether you are glad you are mar- ried or wish you were once more a bachelor with a favorite cigar or a girl with leave to dance all night without thoughts of the breakfast to be prepared and the children to be bundled off to school. If you sign all the questions acceptably, state that the rulership of the home is divided pleasantly and equably, that you are glad you are married, etc., your application will be considered; in a few days you will be a full-fledged Waka Foof. But if you are real truthful and admit you some- times have little family “spats;” that you lose your temper when hubby is late to supper or when. wifie has burned the buckwheat cakes to a crisp, then the Waka Foof Kuwai appoints a commission to take evidence, hear both sides of the controversy and endeavor to bring peace to the shattered household and make love reign so supreme that quarrels or misunderstandings will be utter impossibilities in the future. In other words, the Japanese idea and ideal of home will prevail throughout the length and breadth of the land. . That’s one thing the Waka Foof Kuwai does, but there is an even larger and better work. It encour- ages matrimony. The Waka Foof Kuwai is the national enemy of

It proposes that every mother’s son of us and every father’s daughter shall rush into matrimony and live happily ever afterward, just as they always do in the old-fashioned novels. How is this grand work to be done? By setting such a good example that every unmarried person will be simply crazy to get married. To be a good member of the Waka Foof Kuwai it may be necessary that you be a good actor. For instance, even if you don’t like the way your wife wears her hair when you plainly asked her to dress it different, or if you just hate the odor of the particular brand of cigar your husband is smoking, when he knows that La Flor de Something Spanish is your favorite brand, when there is any unmarried person around, no matter how humble or how home-

ly, you will “lovie” your husband and “dovie” your wife and coo and caress like a couple of turtle doves and make eyes only at each other and just show any chance onlooker that yeu are the happiest little pair in all the world. The chimney never smokes in the cottages of the Waka Foof Kuwai. Nine times out of ten, the bachelor or spinster is a victim of the single state because he has read the divorce court proceedings or hears some wife or husband nagging each other or knows positively that while they may not have little spats, they are not congenial and sometimes wish themselves far apart. We learn by observation as much as by experi- ence, and observation keeps thousands from rushing right away to get marriage licenses. But if the confirmed bachelor and spinster sees every married couple they know so blissfully happy

that they have no thought for any other person than their own dear mate—in public, at least—a chain of thought.is started and in a short time the links in this ehain are likely to become silken and the con- firmed old bachelor welds the new links that ynite him for life to someone who thought he never would propose, no matter how many hints were dropped. “Pshaw,” sneers the bachelor, “you don’t catch me getting married and trotting around with one girl all the time and not having a bit of fun and never being able to look at anybody else,” and “Not on your life, no Charlie-boy saying I’m to dance all my life only with him and cut out the theaters because we need the money for coal and just stick around with one man when I might have a dozen, not on your life.” You hear boys and girls talk this way, any day in the week, don’t you? Well, every member of every Waka Foof Kuwai solemniy pledges himself that whenever he is in the presence of any unmar- ried person he will dilate at length on the splendid time he and his wife had at the dance the night be- fore, of the entrancing strains of the music, of how adorably his wife datices; of what new games they played and what royal fun they hand; of the en- gagements of the season, never so many and never ao enjoyable. “It’s a shame, old man, that youre not in our what’s the matter with me proposing your name’ We certainly do have the best times ever: all sorts of goings on. Oh,” this last regretfully, “1 forgot, you’re not married and everybody else is, so, of course, you’d feel out of place.” If that doesn’t bring the laggard to time, nothing will. Put in the coneisest form possible, to be a good, dyed-in-the-wool, blown-in-the-bottle Waka Foof, you must solemnly pledge yourself to the following: 1. Make your own home life pleasant and happy, without jars or jolts. 2. Let every person see how much you love your wife or husband; don’t confine your lovemaking to the engagement period or to the home after the mar- riage ceremony is performed. set; 3. Set such an example of connubial bliss and rimonial pleasure that every unmarried person envy your lot and plunge headlong into matrimony 5 so as to share your good fortune.

The whole affair rested with the State. Under the laws of social equality there was no individual sylection permitted. When a citizen reached the marriageable age, he or she was simply notified by the State inspectors of the Department of Marriages that a better half had been appointea and the courtship was allowed to take place as dictated by law.

I have read that she once decked herself in gaudy colors, and had a care for her com- plexion and the dressing of her hair that she might catch the favor of a lover, but now there is no neces- sity for such enticements, as the State manages the marriages, thereby rendering obsolete the barbarous custom of being wooed and won.” Food is furnished free by the State. It is prepared in public kitchens and served in publie dining rooms. The State Inspectors of the Meal Code are on hand to enforce all laws pertaining to equal eating.

They do this sort of thing in New England now on thé interurban trolley, stopping at points of interest and signaling another convenient car when they are ready to go on to the next place where some New England celebrity did. something to make the spot celebrated. They do it also in Pennsylvania, in Ohio and In- diana and along the Atlantic coast from Boston south to Philadelphia, but only those will undertake the trip from the Eads bridge to New summer who are fond of walking across wide “gaps” where the connecting links on the map are as yet “projected” or “under process of construction.” This is| the best: a leading St. Louis expert in electrie construction could promise for this mer. For next December, when no one is likely to wish to maké such a vacation trip across country to the Atlantic, he gave more cheerful assurance. But for the summer of 1907 he was as confident as “last gap to be filled” 1s Knowing how Was trolley across sum- -careful experts are ever known to be. Along with this encouragement that the trip from St. Louis to New York by trolley is only a matter of what will seem a comparatively short time to those who are not in a hurry to leave the through Pull- man service on the steam roads, he gave informa- tion which will enable the general public to under- stand one of the most remarkable developmente of the day. ws The progress of interurban trolley building be- tween St. Louis and New York in the last 12 months is far beyond anything the general public hag re- It is knvwn comprehensively only to experts and others interested professionally: or specially in trolley extension.

In fact, however, in the, of the unexampled rapidity of the present and recent ex- tension of interurban trolley lines, this through con- neetion will come last, as an incident of other pur- poses of which the through connection will be only a final spectacular incident; advertising the rest.

When there is through connection from Ch'eago to Tcledo, the route will be connected across Indiana and Ohio to Erie, Pa., and in reach of the different systems now in process of construction across New York. “IT should say that you will be able to get through from the Eads Bridge in the next 12 months,” said a St. Louis expert in electric construction, who has in his head a map of the interurban roads now in process of construction across New York. “The Rake Shore Electric System is now connecting tracks between Cleveland and Buffalo.

This, though, is not the present purpose of trolley building and it is only taken into practical consideration by far-sighted managers of steam rail- road systems who are beginning to reach for the possession of trolley lines paralleling their roads, as is being done along the “Lake Shore” in New York. The trolley extension of last year and year be- fore passed beyond the limits of public expectations in the Central West, leaving the steam railroads in full possession of their own field, and working from town to town to make connected “systems” between towns on the lines of different railroads.

The porters of Sa- lonica and Constantinople, who live upon the same diet, are proverbially strong; hence the saying, ‘Strong as a Turk.’ “I might add that | have known persons—men, women, very intelligent—who became vegetarians on principle or for hygienic reasons, after having previously eaten flesh, as is the general case. They have assured me that they found themselves admira- bly sustained in health and strength. “Under the vegetarian diet, the tendency to many diseases disappears or diminishes. The disposition softens, the mind seems to be quieted, and per- haps rendered more acute.” Speaking of the effects of a vegetable diet upon the character of animals, this great-authority re- marks: “One cannot help remarking that carniv- orous animals are generally irritable and dangerous, and that the herbivorous, on the contrary, are easy to manage and to domesticate. The flesh diet, more or less exclusive, is, more than the race, a determin- ing factor of individual character, whether it shall be gentle or violent. “Tt is known that the white rats of our labora- tories, as long as they are nourished on bread or grain, can be easily tamed, while they become sav- age when they are nourished on flesh. The same observation has been made in relation to the horse and also the dog, though the latter is omnivorous. “Liebig has related that a bear maintained at the Museum of Giessen was very gentle and quiet .as long as it was nourished exclusively on bread and vegetables; but a few days on flesh diet: rendered the animal so vicious as to endanger the life of its trainer, who amused himself Sy periodically modify- ing the character of the animal by a change of diet. “The flesh diet, then. certainly influences the per- sonality.

Prof. Wright’s explanation takes it for granted that the basin in which the Egyptian army was en- guifed was some twenty-five or thirty feet lower 3000 years ago than it is today. This is quite a geological change, but not at all unusual. There are places in the surface of the earth where vastly greater changes in the elevation have taken place within comparatively recent time. The depth of the sea when it returned to the scene of the engulfment need not to have been more than six or eight feet, and if the wind changed and blew from the west, -which it might reasonably be thought to have done, as much as ten, twelve or even fifteen feet of water might have rolled down upon the Egyptians. Anyone who has had experience in soil recently quit by permanent bodies of water will easily understand how mud could have so impeded progress that the Egyptians had been caught like rats in a trap in a place which perhaps did not seem to them to be very ¢angerous. Many illustratio 3 of what the wind can do with water have been afforded. There was one ¢dse rear St. Louis 14 years ago which is.memorable. On the night of May 19, 1892, the wind blew hard all night from the west on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, just north of St. Louis, with the amazing result that these two great rivers, already swollen to the brims of their banks, rose nine feet in that single night. They flooded the whole peninsula above the junction of the rivers, driving hundreds of families from their beds to the roofs of their homes. No one had ever known the rivers to make such a prodigious leap, but the cause was easily arrived at. The wind did it. A singular occurrence of this sort was reported a short time ago from Ohio, where the wind, by blowing from the same direction for three suc’. 4 Paid cessive days, blew the water entirely out of one end ‘ of a canal and caused the canal to overflow its banks _ at the other Thi Similar phenomena have heen observed along Canal, and hard and unchanging winds blowing down Long Island Sound have been known to lower per- ceptibly the stage of water in the East River, at Frie Canal and the’ Hiinois

OOOO Oese O/ New York. $ 2 5 DO YOU KNOW THE “OLD HOSS” STORE? — is permitted to lie in the warehouses. If it is not OW would you like to be the policeman some- H day and have a visitor walk up and ask you to direct him to the nearest “Old Hoss” store? Could you do it? It is one of the St. Louis diversions to talk of the things the policeman ‘doesn’t know, but how many citizens would be able to impersonate the sum of human knowledge if they were to stand on the cor- ner in uniform while the policeman asked them a few things? Without doubt, the “Old Hoss” store question would dispose of the average St. Louisan. He would think hard, but in the end he would have to give it up and turn in his star and helmet. Yet there are such stores in St. Louis, and that is the name by which they are known. There is on North Main street. What would you say it sold? “Old Hoss,” Does that sug- gest anything’? The “Old Hoss” store is a wonder- ful institution. It deals in railroad freight lost. strayed and wrecked. The whole Gould system turns its unclaimed freight at St. Louis over to this concern. The M., K. & T. does the same thing. There are other stores which perform this oftice for other roads. Every day stuff goes from the freight houses to the “Old Hoss” store. There is a trade name for all this stuff; it is “Old Hoss.” No matter if it is silks and satins, silver bars, gems, jewelry or jump- ing jacks, it is all listed under the name of “Old Hoss.” The store pulls the stuff over and sells it for what it will bring. If it ean find the owner, it restores the lost goods and notifies the railroad. “Fifty per cent of the stuff we handle is restored to the owners,” says E. O, Pickering, a member of the “Old Hoss” firm. The “Old Hoss” store is five stories high, and every floor is filled with things peculiar to the business. It would be hard to think of any article of commerce that they have not had at the store at some time. Even a threshing outfit has come in with the odds and ends from the freight house. The railroads have a maximum time in which freight one of them down ‘of other articles. One called for in that time it is classified as “Old Hoss” and sent to the stores dealing in these wares. It. “ *, does not matter how costly the package or how ‘ ’ precious the box. It is all lost goods, and cannot ~~ — lie around until someone shows up to claim it. — The quicker way of disposing of it is to send it off to the “Old Hoss” store and have owners and purchasers sought through that channel.

The club has given en tertainments at the universities for years, but its tours about the country are a comparatively recent The visit to St. Louis will be its first to this city. It was originally the Princeton Dra matic Club, but the faculty objected to the word “dramatic,” and the. name was altered to Triangle Club. This occurred in 1898, when the club gave 1 bo: Public performance at Newark, N. J., the first it had yo given away from the university. Musical pieces are the Triangle Club specialty. It has produced plays from time to time, but they. have innovation. ore The men “never been so fruitful as the musical pieces. authors and composers are always Princeton wae G ‘*?The books and lyrics must be written students of the university and the cannot --eontribute anything beyond the music, which is so sessential to the success of a production that under- ‘graduates are usually unequal to the task. In “Ta «basco Land,” the piece which the club will produce in St. Louis, the book and lyrics are by F. Me ‘Pherson and H. D. Fish, 06, with music by R « C. Veit, 06; H. L. Dillon, 07, and K. S. Clark, ’05. A new piece is produced each year. The choice is made from a half dozen books submitted in compe- “tition. The best of them is filled out and presented. The distinction of being one of the creators of the ‘annual musical comedy may be readily guessed. The orehestra is entirely made up of Princeton students. Kenneth 8S. Clark is the director. He graduated last year, but has rejoined the club for the annual theatrical seasen.. The dancing instructor is R. 8S, Barbee, 07. - Mr. Burbee is said to be.samething of a sprite in the fancy dances, and he has infected some of: his fellow students with his genius. It is said that the audience gets two guesses when some of these boys are dancing: 1. Are they really Do they come The cases that they are not girls and that, by actual! alumni pearances are apa.nst them, they have never seen the Opera Francaise.

DITH RUSSELL WILLIS. Cupid's Recent Queer AA TIAANGLE of ODD ce} LOVE PTORIEP DB /

Capers With Aged Romeos in Boston, New York and Chica- go--- Matrimonial Three Millionaires Misadventvres - of Old Enovgh to Have Known Reller---One Marries Second Time Before First Wife Dies, Another Mecls His “Affinity” and Capitulates and Third Loses Pretty Wifc to His Son. HO ‘will say now that the young men have: all the monopoly of romance? Here are three elderly men, all rich, who have gone to even greater lengths for the women of their hearts than ever a stripling did. In their maturity they have deemed it wise to do things that not one man in a million would do. They have done for love what few youngsters of 21° would dare. Between them they make up a veritable tri- angle of romance. “ The three are not unknowns. They are men of affairs, each in his own city. nbt for a moment would anyone believe them: anything but hard-headed business men. Yet what they have dared is remarkable—these three men whom every- body believed beyond the age when Cupid calls his loudest. ; The first is Thomas W. Kiley, millionaire, of Brooklyn. The second is Capt. Nathan Appleton, millionaire, of Boston. The third is Watson H. Twitehelk millionaire, of Chicago. Kiley married the daughter of his lenefactor be - cause she loved him, and he thought his first wife dying. Appleton met his affinity qnd is now pre- paring to divorce his first wife. But most remarka- ble of all is Twitchell. He gave up his bride—his second wife—to his son, because he loved them both and wanted to see them happy. And first, then, this remarkable the Twitchells. | Bertha May. was a pretty little country girl who lived in a quiet little Michigan town, when Watson M. Twitchell, widower, with a son 24 years old, camé there on a business visit. He met charming Miss Bertha and fell head over heels in love with her—this gray-haired business man of 56. He told the ambitious little girl from Michigan of the pleasures of life in Chicago. When he asked her to marry him she thought that her desire to se the world—that is, what little of it can be seen in So the old man with the grown-up son and the unsophisticated ‘little girl romance. of from Michigan were married, The proud bridegroom brought his dainty bride back home to Chicago, and there they met young Edward Twitchell, the hand- some, stalwart son of this two-time benedict. In a week the pretty little Michigan girl found that life in Chicago with a man old enough to be ber father was not the same thing as real love. In fact, she found that the young fellow who was her CAPT NATHAN APPLETON COPYRIGHT 1905 by J E PURD? PRO TY) Zs stepson had far more attractions for her than her staid and very conservative husband. In fact, before the month was out, she was head over heels in love with the son of her elderly husband. And, as if to add to this strange mixup, the son himself was just as madly in love with his own stepmother—the wife of his father. Of course, such things couldn’t go on forever. Mr. Twitchell Sr. soon learned that he stood in the way of Mr. Twitchell Jr. He taxed his wife with loving his son. Proud of her love, she owned up. And so the case was taken to court. The elder Twitchell sued, and Judge McEwen decided in his favor. He frankly admitted that he wanted his wife to be happy, and for that reason he was going to give her to his son. “I am no hero,” he said, with a kindly smile, “and I don’t want too much said about this, but you see I am 56 years old and my wife is only 24. It is only natural that she should transfer her affections to my son Edward. I am glad that they are happy, and I shall be happy to know that they love each other. I love my boy and [ believe that the divorce is the right thing, inasmuch as my wife and I seemed in- compatible.” So eager was the pretty girl from Michigan to marry her husband’s son that she made no contest, though she had a lawyer to represent her. All she wanted was her freedom—and her Edward! She blushed as she dwned up to her love—the frank, honest blush of’a pretty girl who has at last found out her real romance. “We were married last December,” she said with just a little wistful smile, “and came to Chicago to live. There I met Edward, my husband’s son. After the first week I was not happy. I realized that I didn’t really love my husband. Our ideals were not the same. One evening after dinner I fainted. Ed-

ward rushed to catch me in his arms. Then I really knew which one I loved.” “Well,” remarked the Court, “to come to the point, you didn’t care whether your husband left you-or not ?” The little country girl hesitated. For a moment her lips trembled and two little tears coursed down her cheeks. She tried to speak, but the- words wouldn’t come. “Won’t you tell us?” asked the Judge eine “Well,” she faltered, “I guess I don’t care much! No, I am not sorry that he wants to give me up. I have been entirely indifferent to my husband and I found it too hard to pretend to love him when I didn’t really care for him.” ‘Do you think you are on the right track now?” “Yes, that’s it,” sighed the little wife. “I am on the right track now, JJudge.” “All right,” announced the Court. “I think it would be wise to grant the divorce. You are sure you like the son, Edward?” “Yes, quite sure,” sighed little Mrs. Twitchell. “I think I love him very much.” And such.is the romance of the Twitchells, father and son. | Everybody in Boston -who. knows anybody, knows Capt. Nathan Appleton, one of the famous Apple- tons. .He is. a millionaire, a soldier, a clubman, a diplomat, a traveler and an author. He is a member of the famous Myopia Hunt, and lives at the very smart Somerset Club, Boston, the most exclusive or- ganization of the kind in all New England. He married in 1887. One year later his wife left him. There was no scandal—it was just that.they had agreed to disa- gree. No explanation was offered to their many friends, and after a time the trouble was all but forgotten. But then Miss Edjth R. Willis came on the ‘seene. She was young, vivacious, talented, beautiful. From that moment the gallant Captain believed that he He frankly told Miss Willis that ‘is affinity, and he asked her had met his fate. he believed her to be to marry him. “Yes,” pered assent to make a marriage. a divorce first. So Capt. Appleton has begun suit after all these years. Mrs. Appleton.-lives in-New York -with- her confidant since her, separation from her husband, Miss Katherine Parsons of Virginia, daughter of Col. Henry ‘Clay Parsons. At first Mrs. Appleton ‘said she wouldn’t contest the’ suit provided the Captain made her a suitable allowance out of his wealth, but evidently the two cannot come to terms, for the is. sue has been joined and the case will come to trial. Miss Parsons will take the stand in behalf of Mrs. Appleton. “This doesn’t worry me,” said Capt. Appleton. “T don’t. think it will affect my suit in the slight- est. I:don’t care whether: she joins Mrs. Appleton against me or not, for I can win out against both of them. I hear plenty of rumors, but they don’t in- terest. .The suit will take care of itself when the time comes. There is much that is mysterious in this shattered romance Of the elderly clubman. Some of it, it is expected, will be cleared up at the trial. But, asks Boston, i‘ Capt. Appleton wants a di- but it takes more than a whis- There had te be she said, for it?

ILOIR but they EVERAL mysterious caves, concerning which there is much curiosity, will be explored next summer by the Oklahoma Geological Survey. The primary object will be to discover mineral, but the prospective adventure is the main allurement. The Mammoth Bat County, in the extreme northwest corner of the territory, is one of the first to be explored. Bat Cave is so named because it is the home of more bats, perhaps, than are associated in any other one place in the Un ted States. The cave has been known among pioneers from the earliest settlement, the bats being a phe- nomenon not easily overlooked. They fly out of the cave at dusk every evening, and return some time before daylight. Persons who have witnessed the'r outcoming declare that for three hours in the early evening there is an unbroken outpouring of bats. This is similar to the phenomena observed in Africa and other tropical countries, where vampire life is much more abundant than it is in the United States. There are caves in Africa which are so in- fested with bats that men cannot gain access to them. The blacks of the African interior always asback in the heart of the mountain. one goes up and down without any idea of the depth attained. Sul denly, the way leads ni a steep incline, and far
