Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, May %2%.-—The Common- wealth Trust and Savings Bank, the much-heralded union labor financial in- stitution, has opened its doors at 9% La Salle street, with working people as its majority stockholders and a ‘‘wheel- horse” in Typographical Union, No. i, as its first depositor. Depositors were not waiting in crowds -upon the steps when the bank wass opened, but as the opening was chiefly to bring in stock subscribers, who had agreed to pay up their subscriptions the minute the bank was ready for business, the officials were not worried. Forty- three depositors had appeared by 1:30 p. m., and the cashier said he expected the number to reach 100 before the bank closed the first day. During the first hour more stock sub- scribers than depositors came in to re- ceive the stock certificates which Presi- dent G. W. Dreblow issued to all who showed receipts. Stock sold at $5 a share, with a premium of 10 per cent, and an endless chain was formed by qualifying each stockholder as an agent for the bank with power to write sub- _seriptions among his friends. When the bank opened its 466rs Presi- dent Dreblow said that more than $250,- “000 worth of stock had been subscribed for.: How much of this amount had been paid in he said he did not care to estimate. Will Hold Subscribers. “Reports that we do not consider our stock subscriptions binding are abso- lutely unwarranted,” said Mr. Dreblow. “We expect to hold every one of our subecribers. Those who have paid mere- ly the premium wil] soon receive a call for the remainder of their subscription. As soon as we can get reports from our agents, and obtain returns from most of wr subscribers, we shall be*sready to make a statement and will ask the State Bank Examiner to inspect our affairs. This is not compulsory, as we are in- corporated under the laws of Arizona, but we want to have it done.” The president went on to explain inat the reason for incorporating in Arizona was to avoid compliance with the Illi- nois law requiring stock to sell for at least $100 a share and require a bank director to own at least $1000 worth of stock. This requirement was not com- atible with the promoters’ idea of hav- ng the bank stock held by small invest- ors. who could not afford to pay more than $5 a share. Thus far the largest blocks of stock have been taken by the Carpenters’ Tnion. with a subscription for 200 shares, and the Machinists’ and Steam Fitters’ unions with subscriptions for 100 shares each. The original authorized capital was placed at $2,000,000, but this was later reduced to $500,000. President Dre- blow pointed out that the premium would net a surplus of $50,000 if all the stock were subscribed. Keeping Down Expenses, There are evidences of effort to curb expenses in the new bank. The watch- 4 man wore no uniform, and the lila¢s at the president's desk instead of being in a costly vase adorned a plain glass fruit aes. jar.

HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK. When the Supreme Court of the United States confirmed the action of the lower courts, sentencing Senator Burton of Kansas to Jail, the last step of the defense was to move for a rehearing. It merely délays the démonstration that the privilege of the Senate is not at present a safeguard in violating the laws against “graft,” when the laws actually cover the offense. In Burton’s case, he had the de- fease which has protected many worse men in many worse crimes. The bribe he took was a “fee” for his services as a lawyer. He has now, however, hardly a chance left of escaping justice and the United States Senate is forced to face its re- _ sponsibility for denying Kansas its full representa- ‘tion as part of the process of sustaining “senatorial priv ilege.” ‘A wretched tragedy was that of the Indiana fam- ily in New York, following high ideals of art and literature and waiting for “public appreciation and recognition,” until at last the wife, disappointed in her hope of literary success, committed suicide, and the husband, a “promising young sculptor,” broke with a mallet his masterpiece of “Neptune and the Sea Nymphs.” Perhaps the numbers of those who graduate into art and literature from schools and colleges to go through some such bitter experience in aspiring after the. finest or highest in life, is now to be counted by thousands. Common sense may save them by turning them towards the commonplace, or they may find in rare cases the only other way of escape that is left. This is by the hard road they must follow who think only of what they intend to reach in the end, and do not wish or expect to be “recognized” or “appreciated” for What they do in reaching their “own ends.” In fact, Why should they? But the tragedy of it is that they cannot help it. In Russia, the Duma, incapable of giving relief to the people by its own action, spent the week in “squaring issues’ with the Czar and bureaucracy, showing unsuspected power in doing so. In Eng- ‘land, where free speech in Parliament is used in the double attempt to “square issues” and to cover them up with mere eloquence, the masses of London con- tinue to insist that there is not work enough or food enough to “go around.” In Paris, with the political program of the Commune met by the argument of the saber, the business question of wages and reve- hues was stubbornly disputed by employers and em- ployes, both in bad humor. In Italy, where taxation is at its worst and political conditions almost in- supportable, there was the same thing going on dur- ing the week, with steamships crowded with immi- grants for the United States. Italy now leads in this, but every country in Europe is now sending us, not its worst, people by any means, but its very worst questions to be settled here for those who will net submit to the worst in Europe. As a result of protracted discussion during the week, Rev, Dr. Van Dyke announced Thursday morning that his book of prayer had not been adopted but merely recommended by the Presby- terian General Assembly. “It must stand before the public on its own legs,” he says. The issue he pre- sented was between the individual initiative the Presbyterian assembly has always stood for and ap- proved prayer in its best literary forms. Un- questionably, prayers written or edited by Dr. Van Dyke are likely to stand for the best literature. They will be free from the crudeness with which extemporaneous prayer sometimes addresses the public for political or other purposes, but they will represent spontaneous emotion only to those who are fit to appreciate the higher forms of literary expres- ae sion, represented by Dr.’ Van Dyke. Where nothing _ is decided, this which developed from the discus- _ pion may still have educational value in. connection - with’ the axiom that “prayer is the soul’s sincere desire.” | / The 22 indictments returned by the grand jury at ‘ Springfield, Mo., against lynchers are not wholly without recent precedent, but the cases they pre- sent to the courts are stronger on the face of things ‘than usual. It may be said that they “make the ease” against the mob, even if convictions do not : as they should, and more especially because 2 may be difficulty in forcing convictions. When men who will be proven to be innocent have been purdered by the mob, members of the mob indicted F fo iter must rely on the “failure of justice in the ’ eourts” as their only hope of safety. This al- leged “failure of law” they gave as their own al- leged reason of necessity for mob action. Now they Must appear in their own community and before the country in general, openly in the attitude of 3 attempting to prevent the courts from enforcing di If they escape through delay, technicality or evasion, they will still be exposed fully in his attitude, which has been from the first their ial attitude towards the law—that of breaking it. " B nominating candidates for its Supreme bench Eee bah aaae first time in perhaps marked symptoms of actually breaking away from control of pass distfibuters and hired lobbyists. It is partial as yet, even in the one party which has acted, but it is certainly so manifest as to be symptomatic. The investigation of the recent riot at Columbia, Mo., occasioned by the visit of a circus, which dis- turbed the students in the State University, records the verdict that it was the fault of the circus. This will be followed in due course, under its own logic, by perfect calm, the best discipline, the highest man- ifestation of the educated intellect in good order— except during the visits of circuses. This is grati- fying and it also shows the need of increasing ed- ucation for all classes, including more especially circus employes. i A. A PEACE AND BIG BATTLEHIPS. In the debate on the bill providing for the biggest battleship, which Mr. Williams of Mississippi aptly named the “Skeered o’ Nothin’,” Congressman Bar- tholdt, who has won a pre-eminent place among American public men as an advoeate and promoter of international arbitration, betrayed some weakness in the defense of his cause. He was cross-examined as to the attitude of himself and the friends of arbitration on the subject of heavy armaments. He argued that additions to the army and navy “will

|not defer but will hasten the moment when nations will be compelled to come to an agreement of that kind. If nations go on at the present rate, the time is near at hand when they will have reached the point of exhaustion, when they will be compelled to meet around the green table and discuss measures for the settlement of international difficulties by resorting to arbitration instead of resorting to war.” Summing up, he said: “We say that as long as there is no international agreement, as long as nations must be ready to de- fend their rights by armament, just so long will the friends of arbitration and peace be ready to vote for such armaments as may be deemed necessary by the Government for the national defense.” We might pertinently ask here who is the Govern- ment in this country which decides questions of peace or war or the necessity for heavy armaments? Who is it, if not the representatives of the people elected to carry out the will of the people, to adopt that pelicy which best conserves the public inter- est? But we get light on the view of the necessity of heavy armaments and on the policy which the Gov- ernment is asked to adopt with reference to them, in a speech of Congressman Weeks of Massachu- setts. Mr. Weeks said: “The wars of the future will be waged for com- mercial or humane reasons, as have nearly all wars since the time of the first Napoleon. We, in com- mon with all the great nations of Europe, have reached a condition where we produce more manu- factured goods than we consume. We are,all look- ing for markets. * * * They (the Oriental peo- ples) buy goods of. nations which show to them that they have physical strength. * * * ‘The fact is, Mr. Chairman, we need a navy large enough to meet the commercial rivals whom we would have to meet in case of difficulty. In other words, our building policy, in my opinion, would be based upon what our rivals are doing.” Here we have clearly set forth a program of com- mercial expansion at the cannon’s mouth. The sur- plus of manufactured products, which Mr. Weeks as- sumes to represent what we cannot consume, but which may represent the profit of trust oppression, is to be advantageously placed through the employ- ment, if need be, of physical force. In the. rivalry for markets and for wealth and aggrandizement, each nation must be governed in its decision with regard ¢o armament by the army and navy pro- grams of rival nations. There is little hope of peace in this policy. It offers only a rivalry in prepara- tions for war, with all the dangers of war which that rivalry and those preparations imply. The only hope of peace, if war under such conditions can pos- sibly be averted, lies as Mr. Bartholdt suggests, in the exhaustion of all the nations—in other words, in universal bankruptey—a condition of misery for the people scarcely less inhuman and revolting than war itself. More than half a century ago, Channing, one of the most eloquent of peace advocates, who pleaded for peace on the ground of the moral soundness of the peace propaganda as a matter of justice, human- ity and Christian civilization, pointed out the falsity of the argument that large military establishments make for peace. In his “Second Discourse on War” he said: “When for these causes large military establish- ments are formed and the military spirit kindled, war becomes a necessary part of policy. A foreign field must be found for the energies and passions of a martial people.” When to the martial spirit are added commercial! greed and land hunger we easily find pretexts for the use of efficient and costly naval and military equipments and forces. Mr. Bartholdt missed his opportunity. full credit for his activities in promoting conferences and measures looking towards international agree- ments, we need a more courageous and broader ad- vocacy of peace than that he exemplified in this con- gressional debate. We need more faith in the effi- cacy of peaceful intentions expressed, not in arma- ments, which indicate hostility and fear, but in a policy of justice and humanity. The United States have maintained the Monroe doctrine and _ have grown and prospered beyond the dreams of Euro- pean nations, without a single attack from the out- side since the war with England, and without great naval or military establishments. The peaceful in- tentions of the man who arms himself for the pur- pose of maintaining peace are under suspicion. The decision as to our armaments and our policy with regard to peace should be made in Washing- ton and not in Berlin, London or Paris. We should adopt our own independent course, and supplement our profession of peaceful intentions with the proof of a just policy which has in it no indication of fear or expectation of hostile attack. Good will and fair dealing do not need the support of the biggest bat§eskip and the strongest battalions. > a Giving him

As Congressman Landis says, this is the best country on earth. And that is one of the best of reasons why it should no longer tolerate graft, even where graft is legalized. nn THE SPANISH MARRIAGE. All the world may love a lover, but all the world does not necessarily love a Spanish royal marriage. For a century now misfortune and disaster have been bridemaids at all these weddings. A domestic fatality unlike anything else in modern history has hovered over the Spanish crown. Ferdinand VII, while he was still Crown Prince, married Marie Antoinette Therese of Naples, and thereby earned the imperial wrath of Napoleon. After the death of the Crown Princess he began to intrigue for the hand of one of Napoleon’s nieces, and thereby earned the wrath of his royal parents. The discovery of his secret negotiations was fol- lowed by his arrest; the Spanish people sympa- thized with the Prince; Charles 1V was forced to abdicate, and before Ferdinand was fairly seated on his throne Napoleon was in possession of his king-

dom. After the French were driven from Spain and Fer- dinand regained his crown, he married Maria Cris- tina of Naples, whose very name is still hated by the people of Spain, Largely through her influence he issued the pragmatic sanction which abolished the Salic law and made Isabella the Crown Princess. It was this act which gave Spain its heritage of Carlist revolts and conspiracies, As a result of Louis Philippe’s interference, bella was married to Francis of Assisi for reasons which the historian hesitates to discuss too frankly. It was a marriage which brought the Queen into the deepest disrepute and led finally to her exile. When Alfonso XII, her son, was finally restored to the throne of his forefathers, he made a happy and popular marriage, but the hand of fate was still against the Spanish Bourbons and Mercedes died a few months after becoming a bride. For his second wife he took the Archduchess Maria Cristina of Aus- tria. It was a marriage doubly unpopular, for the bride was not only a Hapsburger, but she bore the name of Ferdinand’s consort. Alfonso XII did not live to see the son that bears his namé, the “Boy Alfonso XIII, and while the Queen conducted Isa- King,” herself discreetly and sensibly has never been a favorite with the Spanish people. For the first time in a hundred years a Spanish marriage now promises domestic happiness to the royal couple and political happiness. to Spain. In the first place, the union of King Alfonso and the Princess Ena next Thursday will be a marriage of love, which appeals to the sentiment of the Spanish people. It was negotiated by the young King him- self, and it is without suspicion of. political intrigue. The bride may lack great personal beauty, but she is represented as a wholesome young person, with all the tact and good sense of an eminently sensible family. Even the fact that she was a Protestant and accepted the Catholic religion only to become the wife of Alfonso has cost her no popularity in Spain, while her relations to the English royal family naturally appeal to the pride of the proudest peo- ple in Europe. The marriage excites some resentment in England, among zealous Anglicans who do _ not with which the young Princess has been “converted” to the Catholic faith. But when we remember the bitterness of feeling growing out of Mary Tudor’s disastrous marriage with King Philip and the feather-headed attempt of the fa- vorite Buckingham to arrange a marriage between Prince Charles, afterward Charles I, with a Spanish the quiet with which this alliance is re- It speaks volumes for the sub- during regency, she especially relish the facility Princess, ceived is remarkable. sidence of national and religious animosities. The marriage ought to be not only one of mutual happiness to the young couple, but one that will make for the political stability of the kingdom. It is more than possible that the coming of the young Princess of Battenberg will break the malevolent spell that fate seems to have cast over Spain’s royal family. None more heartily than the American people will wish health and happiness to the King and his bride, and prosperity to Spain. oo Mrs. Henderson has converted the great Wu, he the Chinese thirst may be something inferior tq the American.

+++ MR. MANSFIELD’S SNEER. Mr. Richard Mansfield told a Milwaukee newspaper that he cared only for applause from the gallery, The approval from the rest of the house was mere noise. “When my efforts ring true,” the galiery, “I hear the echo up there.” Mr. Mansfield is fond of shocking “the best people” by expressing contempt for them, hut there is some ground for his belief in the taste of the gallery. When Mansfield treads the boards, or even stars ot lesser magnitude like Bernhardt or Mrs. Fiske, the gallery is sought by people who have their love of art and no money, whereas down below there is always a large number of persons who have ‘money and love display more than art. Nevertheless, Mr. Mansfield is, taken. Merit is not the possession of any one class. It is conceivable, for instance, that the millionaire in the lower box understands art as well as the ragged student in the gallery. Edmund Burke uS8ed to say you couldn’t draw an indictment wide enough to cover a whole nation. It is equally true that you cannot emit a sneer expansive enough to include a social group. Even Mr. Mansfield’s sneer, hearty, powerful, lordly, cannot do this, although, of course, it demonstrates his superiority to all mankind.

WOMAN’S ATHLETIC LIMITATIONS. E. Hjertberg, Coach, in the New York World. Although the extreme muscular weakness of aver- age civilized women as compared to civilized men is, as we have already admitted, certainly artificial and easily possible to remove by training, still it must be remembered that even in savages, among whom the women do most of the muscular work, they seldom équal and never exceed the men in strength, any superiority, when it exists, being mainly shown in such passive forms of exertion as bearing burdens. In civilization, even under the influence of careful ath- letic training, women are unable to compete muscu- larly with men, and it is a significant fact that there are few ‘‘strong women” on the variety stage, al- though women have for generations been training themselves as public performers in gymnasiums. It would seem that the difficulty in developing great muscular strength in women is connected with the special adaptation of woman's form and organiza- tion to the maternal function, and so long as her form and organization continue to be thus specially adapted, we must regard even such brilliant records as those of the Vassar girls as only another proof of the scientists’ theory of the precocity of the young female human: We must remember that women’s records in college athletics, as well as those gained on the golf course and in the tennis court, are neces- sarily, after all, women’s records. Remarkable as they have been, it has been a distinction over other women, not over men. Thus far women have not Succeeded in breaking any men's records. On the contrary, repeated attempts to do so have resulted only in leaving them further than ever from the goal. And so long as men are men, and women women, it must always be so.

AN EMBARRASSING ORDER. From Harper's Weekly. A man entered a well-known restaurant in New York the other day and beckoned to a_ waiter. “Bring me,” he said, “two fried eggs—one fried on ofte side, and one on the other.” The waiter looked slightly puzzled, but answered, “Yes, sir,’ and disappeared toward the kitchen. Ten minutes later he returned, looking decidedly worried. “Would you mind repeating that order, sir?” he asked. “I want two fried eggs,”’ said the diner; on one side, and one on the other.”’ The waiter again disappeared in the direction of the kitchen. After a longer wait than before, he returned, his clothes dishevelled and his face bruised and scratched. “I beg your pardon, sir,”’ he said, “but would you mind having botled eggs? I've had words with the, coc\.”’ ee CYNICAL. Translated for Tales From Meggendorfer Blatter. Miss Passe: I have had many chances to marry. Only a short time ago a man told me of his love.

OWARD yellow the church of the early fathers, as well as of the present day, has shown & well-marked antipathy. Indeed, one might say that it has always been the abomination of ecclesi- asticism. To the churchman it has always been & color to either avoid entirely or to subordinate to a very inconspicuous place in the general ensemble of ecclesiastical decoration. Nor has this prejudice diminished with the centuries, for as recently as 1833 the use of yellow in priests’ garments was pee 7 throughout the Catholic Church, while in the Prot- — estant Church yellow has never been used at all. — ; came the symbol of envy, jealousy, and, above all else, of treachery. The painters of all ages have dressed Judas in yellow garments, and for centuries some countries compelled Jews to be so dressed. . But the most revolting and hateful of all the sug- tians was the tradition which had associated it in the pagan civilization with free love. It was the color of that impious faith. In an earlier and less degenerate era it had been aasociated with legiti-+ mate love. In classics the bride’s garments were yellow, and her wreath was wrought of crocuses, Yellow was the traditional color of the bridal bed. The demi-monde of the period, however, began to tion. They, too, began to robe themselves in yellow, even as the virginal brides, and yellow became the predominating color tone of their chambers, as even- tually it did of the public brothel. And last, but most subtle stroke Of all, they, the demi-monde, began to color their hair the same hae, a custom which originated in Greece and was transmitted later to Rome. This fashion had been introduced not a hundred years before the birth of Christ, so that at the advent of Christianity it was a well-recog- nized insignia, and, indeed, has so persisted through-_ out the ages until and including the present day. The effect of two thousand and more years of prejudice in this direction has borne unmistakable fruit from the psychologist’s point of view. It bas molded the minds of honest men and women a rigid disapproval of bleaching the hair. Nor is this dislike any more psychologically well founded than is the prejudice in favor of the custom on the part of the woman who does so. The habit of bleaching the hair is, the psychologist and criminol- Ogist tell us, as inherently a trade-mark of careless morality as is the passion found in the same walks for tattooing the breast and arms. Both are alike the manifestations of degentracy, and a g00d woman cannot ‘adopt one custom any sooner than another. Both are alike repugnant and repulsive to the wutt- an of normal instincts. fi 4 .

A PROPHECY FULFILLED. es From the June Bookman. ee Many newspapers in commenting upon the ‘disas- ter at San Francisco have made it the text for some remarks upon the alleged fact that no professional prophet, soothsayer, or diviner of the future fore- saw the terrible calamity and made it known. In. simple justice to devotees of the oceult, we desire to call attention to a circumstance which seems to. have escaped the notice of these unbelievers. Many persons will remember the extraordinary sensation, created in Paris a few years ago by the vatici- nations of a certain Mile. Couedon whose feats of” clairvoyance astonished the French capital. Het” doors were besieged from morning until night. The most fashionable Parisians sought admittance to her sanctuary; and it was said that among her visitors were several eminent statesmen and diplomats. In- January, 1905, the Correspondent of a New York newspaper secured from the French Sibyl a fore- | cast of the events of the coming year. The forecast was duly published In the columns of the newspaper. | In addition to a number of other prophecies, among " which was an intimation of the revolutionary out-' break in Russia, was a striking and somewhat de- | tailed prediction of the fate which was impending’ over an American city, the name of which, how-. ever, was not given. The toppling over of tall build- ings was graphically described, and particular stress. was laid upon +he disturbances which were to take place beneath the surface of the earth. . Those per-' sons whom we heard commenting upon it at the. time regarded the prophecy as referring to New York, and they supposed that the subterranean disaster indicated the caving in of the Subway. But appar- ently, and in fact obviously, the fate of San Fran- cisco had in some way projected itself within the range of this woman's second sight. To be sure, - the fulfilment of the prophecy came four months. _ refuse to be bound by a very definite chronology.. ing and because it is a matter of record. At the very least, it involver a remarkable coincidence. “= WESTON’S WALK, From the New York World.

This their they repli that they would fill time’at any avail- ame enone we apprised = Pe. emy o usic men immediately stated chair antinfualion the arrangement, says Mr, Hay most. I'm very curious to see how, the new Delmar company is going to pan out. Of course, we all know that Stella Tracey and Pearl Revare and Wil- liam Riley Hatch and William Hermann West will be satisfactory, because they’ve “made good” at Delmar before, but, look you, there are some very important Yolk to be “tried out” as new factors in this year’s company. Comedian John E. Young is one we've never even seen before, so, as well, is Jeannette Opie, the Australian contralto and character woman; neither have we ever laid eyes on Caecilia Rhoda, Delmar’s prima donna, until now— and Frank Rushworth, the tenor, makes his first bow to us in summer opera. We've seen him in winter companies, however, and he’s so very good indeed that there’s little doubt of his making a hit with his tuneful lyric voice and attractive looks. But the first three named—up with the curtain and let’s put ‘em to the test! I'm told that Young is an excruciatingly funny King Pommery in “The Isle,” and, if that’s true, he’s about the only funny one who's followed poor Tom Seabrooke in that role—don’t you recall how dismal a failure even Frank Moulan made with it some years ago? That's why I'm especially curious to see Young, for if he wins out as Pommery, why, Delmar has struck it rich with him. And they do say he’ll win out. : Talking about delivering the goods on the summer garden stage, two particularly sinister villains accomplished that feat during the week just ended. One was Raymond Capp, the English player, as Lieut. Parlow in “The Girl I Left Behind Me” at West End Heights, and the other was Harry Fenwick as Jonas Hardy in “From Sire to Son” at the Suburban.

wife reveals their versatility. These girls come of an old English family that has furnished to the stage a long list of notable performers. Their father, who accompanied them upon their trav- els until two years ago, was an acro- bat of great reputation, and his father and grandfather were celebrated in their day. Miss Adelaide Macarte is the eld- est of the three, and attends to the bus!- ness details, signing the contracts and making arrangements for transpor- tation, etc. Miss Julia attends to the selection and care of their wardrobe, which involves no little labor, as they carry 10 large trunks containing no less than 30 entire changes of costume. They never wear the same costumés twice during an engagement of one or two weeks, and their wardrobe is of the fin- est material and compiete to the small- est detail. Miss Cecelia, or ‘‘Cissy,’’ as she is affectionately called, is the young- est, and has been declared one of the most beautiful women upon the stage. She is a finished musician, and the flush of perfect health upon her face tells of the beneficial results of the long train- ing that has made her one of the best athletés in the world. The Macarte girls are seldom seen apart. They live al- ways at the best hotels, and spend their time when not at the theater with their correspondence and music. They have appeared in every principal city in the world, having circumnavigated the globe twice during the past-seven years. Their father has retired upon a beautiful es- tate on the upper Thames in England, where the girls spend their short vaca- tions. Their engagement at Forest Park Highlands this week will make the fifth time they have appeared in this city under the management of Col. Hopkins during the past nine years. OWA HOPING FOR FREE ALCOHOL Capital Is Ready to Erect Dis- tilleries Near Great Cornfields. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FORT DODGE, Io., May 26.—All Iowa ig watching the progress of the free al- cohol bill. Already capital has been at- tracted by the field its passage will open and at Des Moines there are several men of wealth who have plans partially ar- ranged for the erection of a large dis- tillery. for the manufacture of alcohol from grain as soon as the bill becomes a law. The removal of the tax from alcohol would be of inestimable value to Iowa as a grain-growing State. It means the erection of distilleries in every part of the State. Corn, lowa’s great staple, will be in much greater demand. Last year’s crop was in the neighborhood of 375.000,00u bushels. Only a smail percentage of this was consumed at home. The time was when a crop of this‘ kind would be rep- resented in a large degree by special stock trains of fat cattle on their way to Eastern markets, but stock-feeding as an industry has decreased to a large extent the past five years. However, the removal of the tax from alcohol will mean the establishment of a permanent market for Iowa’s great corn crop which will not be influenced by the market to the extent that the cattle feeding industry was. It is easy to remember when corn sold for 15 cents a bushel. Today it is worth about 40 cents on track. The steady demand and more staple mar- ket is due to many sources, chief of which is the number of products now being made from corn which are staple commodities. While the uses to which corn is now ‘being put by manufacturers reaches over thirty, the articles which alcohol enters into in the course of their manufacture reaches 100. Of equal stability of char- acter are the articles of commerce made from alcohol as compared with those made from corn.

sic a half hour before the bridal party. The bride came in on the arm of her trother-in-law, George Steedman. They Were met at the chancel by Mr. Ed- munds and his best man, Charles K. Polk. The bridal gown was of soft while silk, made princess, with very ‘ong, sweeping train. The surplice neck was filled with guimp of rose point lace and a bertha of the same lace was caught at intervals with bridal blos- soms. The long illusion veil was se- cured by a half coronet of orange blos- soms. She carried instead of the con- yentional shower bouquet a prayer book of ivory and point lace handker- chief. The bridemaids came’ in by _ twos, Niiss Judith Hoblitzelle and Miss Jane &kinker, foliowed by Miss Julia Rey- Miss nolds and Miss Florence Street. Martha Sprole, the maid of honor, and ~ousin of the bride, immediately pre- e-ded the bride. The bridemaids and maid-of honor all wore summery gowns of white chiffon cloth with incrusta- tions of point Venier lace. They wore picturesque hats of white lace straw with crowns of white lilacs, inter- spersed with foliage. The under brims wore filled with soft white tulle. Large bouquets of yellow daisies arranged in showers and tied with innumerable bows of pale yellow ribbon completed their toilets. ue , Mrs. Howard, the bride's mother, wore black point lace with diamonds with small] toque. Mrs. Edmunds was in black crepe with small black hat. Mrs. George Steedman was in white organdy and Valenciennes lace over pale blue silk. A gemall reception followed at the \ an- deventer place home of Mrs. Howard.

Dean appeared at the Courthouse with his attorney and divorce petition ready to file. The clerk asked the at- torney to supply the wife's. given name. He turned to the husband for the information. but the latter only grinned and said. “Blessed if he knew.”’ Dean, who is a merchant here, later found his wife’s name is Ellen. The complaint sets forth the fact that they were married in 1903 and have lived together much of the time Since. When asked by the clerk what her, Dean said he always called her “old woman.” He seeks a divorce on the allega- tions that she refuses to get up at the proper time and prepare his breakfast, and further alleges cruel treatment.

HIS WIFE'S AME; ST. LOUIS GIRL Llewellyn B. Bakirt, Wealthy Ohioan, Marries Miss Edna Shea, a DIVORCED TWO MONTHS EE ———————

Cincinnati Bridegroom’s Moth- er One of the Richest Women in Ohio. Miss Edna Shea, an accomplished young St. Louis woman, who has studied in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, was married quietly at the home of her aunt, Mrs. T. G. Thompson, to Liewellyn B. Reakirt, a wealthy Cincinnati man. Scarcely two months have passed since Rea- kKirt's first wife, Mrs. Anne Howard Reakirt, obtained a divorce from him. The custody of their only child was given to the mother. A trust fund of $100,000 was created for the heir to inherit when he becomes of age. The interest is for his maintenance until that time. Mrs. Reakirt was also given a like amount. Mr. Reakirt’s bride is an attractive young woman somewhat younger than he. He had been a frequent caller up- on Miss Skea at the home of her aunt, 5849 Clemens avenue, St. Louis, since his divorce. In the presence of a few friends of Miss Shea and Mr. Reakirt, a minister married them Fri- day morning. Immediately after the arene ym they left on their wedding trip. Suit Filed in January. The Reakirt divorce case is still fresh in the minds of Cincinnati peo- ple, who followed the case with in- terest because of the prominence of the couple. The papers in the suit were filed Jan. 18, 1906. Mrs. Reakirt alleged that she was not well pro- vided for finaicially. The decree was granted March 22. The custody of the boy was awarded to his mother. The father made the agreement to provide $100,000 for each of them. Mrs. Reakirt was a member of an exclusive socia] set in Dayton, O., be- fore her marriage. She is now in Paris. with her brother. When she lett she said she expected to return in the fall and live in Clifton, a fash- ionable suburb of Cincinnati, Reakirt is the son of Mrs. Lauretta Gibson of Mount Auburn. His mother is said to be the richest woman in Ohio. LACE IS NEWEST MATERIAL FOR SMART SLIPPERS

Paris Decrees Some Startling Effects in Footwear for Season. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World, PARIS, May 26.—Very little change is, as a rule, to be seen in the matter of shoes, but this season promises to be a momentous one where footgear is con- cerned. The craze at present for even- ing shoes of Iri mounted over pale-colored satin is one of the chief features of the season, the heels being carried out in colors to correspond with the linings, while solitaire paste buttons take the place of bows. Brocade slippers for boudoir wear carried out in the rich- est brocade in ol@ French patterns rep- resent another fancy of La Mode’s at present, and these, in lieu of the single button, have immense jeweled or mother o’ pearl buckles surrounded with loops of pale-colored velvet like the petals of a sunflower. Louis XI shoes in black patent leather, with scarlet heels and elaborately brogued, are designed for indoor wear, other shoes being bound with brogued straps of scarlet leather, which are like- wise applique to the uppers of the heel. In Paris nothing but boots are being worn at present, and white kid boots of the most supple quality will be a fea- ture of the summer season. With blue serge tailor-mades, champagne colored or brown boots will once again come to the fore, the only difference between these and the examples which were in use last year being that they are more elaborately brogued than ever. In black walking shoes, numbers of people: still prefer the plain and un- adorned glace kid or patent leather, but laces represent a feature which is of the utmost importance nowadays, and these, to be strictly up to date, must be of a wide make of black ribbon. Trolley Party for Nurses. The outgoing house officers of the Washington University Hospital enter- tained the pupil nurses of the University Training School at a trolley party Fri- day evening. The company consisted of about thirty-five persons, including the members of the graduating class of the dental department.

Gpetewseccs o-—- - Huge Structure, Which Will Be Exceeded in Size Only by the As- souan Barrage, Will Be Completed in Two Years and Will Be an-Engi- neering Feat of Which the Coun- try May Be Proud. KBOKUK. Io., May 26. the URING the present year [) preliminary work of constructing what is to be the second largest dam in the world will begin at the foot of the Des Moines Rapids, opposite this city. The largest works of the kind are near Assouan, on the Nile, in Africa, and are a monument to the skill of English and American engineers. The great Nile dam is for the pur- pose of irrigation. Electrical power is the object of the construction here. Hugh L. who directed the pow- er installation at Niagara, is chief en- gineer of this enterprise. It has been figured that a dam from 30 to 35 feet above standard low water, with a length of from 5000 to 7000 feet, will furnish over 100,000 horsepower. Niagara Falls, under the present in- stallation, supplies 200,000 horsepower, and is the largest water power plant in the world. Massena, on the St. Law- rence River, which ranks next, is rated at 40,000 horsepower. The river runs through a deep gorge at Keokuk. It was cut origimally by giaciers and later deepened by the swift- ly flowing stream. The bluffs on’ both sides are about 100 feet high. Naturally the idea of a power dam just below the rapids has been the sub- ject of active consideration by pro- meters from time to time for many years. Cooper, iietting Uncle Sam's Consent, To nandie the project promptly and satisfactorily the Keokuk and Hamilton Water Power Co. was organized about five years ago, not for the purpose of operation itself, but to acquire all the rights necessary; and to bring the mat- ter to the attention of the Government and to financiers with sufficient capital to carry out a $6,000,000 idea. These ob- jects have been accomplished. Under a suspension of the rules both houses of the Fifty-eighth Congress passed a law giving the company full powers to ‘‘drown the rapids’’ opposite the Government locks, and to construct such a dam as that described in the specifications. This was. something un- usual, considering that at the time of the bill's passage (February, 1905) the enterprise was only a project. The Eastern syndicate which has agreed to finance the work has already received enough applications for power from factories, mills and traction lines to absorb all the power the plant can generate. The works will consist of a_ great stone barrage or dam, reinforced by Steel, directly crossing the river.

There is considerable speculation as to the effect of the development of this immense power on the population. Since 1697 Keokuk has never enjoyed a real cyclonic “boom.” In that year the ac- tivity in real estate and general busi- ness was something wonderful. The veracious “Mark Twain” in his “Life on the Mississippi,’’ describes it this way: “Everybody bought, everybody sold~ except widows and preachers. They al- ways hold on and, when the tide ebbs, they get left. Anything in the sem- blance of a town lot, no matter how situated, was salable at a figure which would still have been high if the ground had been sodded with greenbacks.”’ “Mark Twain’’ used to run a milk wagon here, and is presumed to speak with knowledge. At any rate no one has made him publish a retraction But Keokuk is not so easily stam- peded as it was in those days, and prop- erty, while advancing somewhat, has not reached anything like a figure that might be expected so close to the in- ——— An OE ce, -_——- date of the first blast on the river bot- tom, and it is possible that the period of construction may be materially shorte ened, ; The region about Keokuk is noted for itd picturesqueness. Some of the most magnificent homes in the West crown the tall, grassy bluffs overlooking the river. The place was named after a fa- mous Indian Chief, who roamed the West in the care-free days of long ago, and whose statue ocoupies a poniaey place in the city’s park.

Basing the increase of population on the horse-power produced in other cities, and the generally accepted standard of five to one, the population of Keokuk within five years after the works are in operation may be conservatively ex- pected to reach 100,000, say business men. The other towng in the transmission circuit can figure on the seme percent- age of increase. One Winter's Good Work, The preliminary surveys were made by Lyman E.

A Tennesseean, Who Deserves Qur Thanks, Has Put It Up to Congress for Determina- tion in Connection With Leg- islation Providing for Three “Colored” Persons on a Board, His Point Being That “Negroes” Are Meant and Should Be Specified. WASHINGTON, May 26. "T trom. W. SIMS is a_ statesman from Tennessee, now serving his county in the House of Represent- atives, who is deserving well of con- temporary fame. Mr. Sims is concerned with a question of nomenclature of pres- ent interest. definitely and authoritatively whether the black people in his country should be called properly “Afro-American,” *eolored,”’ or “darkies."" Mr. Sims thinks that “‘negrd’’ is the proper term and to support his contention he wrote to Booker Washington as the foremost representative of his people in this country to get support for his ideas. The correspondence between the two men ts here set forth in full. This is Mr. Sims’ letters: Mr. Sima’ Letter. “Washington, D. C., April 20, 1906. “Prof. Booker T.

BERLIN, May 26.—Herr Von Budde, the German Minister of Railways, will be more careful in the future when he hands his card to strangers. His lesson is the result of an experience while on @ recent inspection tour. While Von Budde sat fh his second- class coach, a passenger with a cigar began to puff the smoke regardless of the other passengers. oe Budde was indignant at the pas- r's breaking the rules and said: “Do you know, sir, that the rule is

He continued to puff as if nothing had hap- pened. Ome cigar gone, he lit another. Von Budde, angry, walked up to the man again and sald in a loud tone: ‘Look here, where do you think you are? I told you like a gentleman to stop breaking the rules of the railway. You insist on doing so, ag if you live in Africa. I am going to make you suffer for it. I am the Minister of Ralilways.”’ Saying this, Van Budde handed the man his card . The smoker looked at the card and then put it slowly in his pocket, with- out egee a word. At the next sta- tion he left the coach and as the Minis- ter saw him going toward the gate, he called to one of the employes to follow and bring him back, as he had a com- plaint against him. When the employe aaught the man and told him to return, as someon. had a complaint against him, tht ®mok- er, still puffing his cigar, took out the ecard Van Budde had given him and handed it to the employe, without a word. The employe began to apologize and returned to Von Budde, saying: ‘Well, sir, I guess you better leave the complaint you have. It is better | for you if you do.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Worid. LONDON, May 2%.—A new profession, with many special branches, all partic- ularly adapted to women, has arisen gradually and quietly until now it occu- pies a highly important relation to all trades that have to do with house fur- nishing and women's attire. Call _ it ‘“‘consultant,’’ and you have a name that fits without clearly defining the protes- sion. Its aim is to assist those women who are not remarkably gifted in decorative taste in selecting their furniture, wall- paper, garments, and so forth. It fol- lows, therefore, that every branch of the general consulting profession re- quires a specialist. There is, for example, the consultant hairdresser, who can tell to a nicety the style of coiffure which will suit her client. A man-milliner is to be found in Tottenham Court road who trims hats on the heads of his fair customers to insure that every Knot of ribbon or bunch of flowers shall be becomingly placed. in most any kind you 00 values; Monday, _—— Be (E(k SOAS ES (as [bs (ak [ digestion eeenweoe@aesvenseeee? 89¢ Lambrequins, 23c For a eo Monday we will sell beautiful floral design Lambrequins with the knotted fringe—2\% yards long—all good, desirable colors—Specia] 25c ead Rest. I5c Full size, all dainty colors; suitable for chairs or sofa; trimmed with ruffles—will sell Monday for Stores Keep Advisers. “We find our women advisers indis- pensable,’’ the manager of a West End furnishing house said. “If a‘ customer apears to fave no clear ideas of her own, the consultant is summoned, and not only advises but proves an admir- able overseer during the decorative op- erations. The old mistake of paper and paint which tone in the hand, but clash hopelessly when on the wall, is never to be found now.”’ A consultant dressmaker who will open rooms in Regent street later in the sea- son explains her profession in this way: “I have studied artistic dress in Paris and Vienna,’’ she said. “I have on my books the names of dressmakers, milli- mers, glovers, bootmakers, and firms where materials can be purchased to suit all purses. “A client who distrusts her ideas, if she has any, calls on me for a wedding outfit. She pays me a fee for consulta- tion, and for that sum I design, order and arrange fittings to suit her. “I first study my customer from every point of view in my studio, where sun- blinds are arranged to give various ef- fects of light and shade. A woman art- ist | employ then makes a rough sketch of my client, and the client is free to depart. In a couple of days she receives a sketch of her toilet, the names of dressmaker, milliner and glover, and ar- rangements for fitting appointments. ‘ihe toilet, when completed, is sent to my studio, where my client has a dress rehearsal. use of Mi-o-na ak habits, price 50c.

The Spending Mania. More money will be spent by Ameri- cans in London this summer than ever before. They are coming prepared to scatter dollars with a reckless hand, for the past year has been one of un- exampled prosperity in the United States, and many men have jumped from comparative poverty into affluence. The first ambition of these people is to ‘go abroad,’’ and London is their first stopping place. Moreover, the million- — aires of older foundation have had their fortunes enormously increased, with the money-spending mania invureased in pro- portion. This tendency is illustrated by the re- gal magnificence of the American mil- lionaire on tour. He is no longer con- tent with upper deck staterooms. He must have “royal suites.’’ There is a greater demand for these suites, cost- ing thousands of dollars for the single voyage, than ever before. All the steamships arriving at British Ports this week from New York brought well-known American millionaires and their families. Among the Cedric’s pas- sengers were Dr. Seward Webb, a rail- Seton se a way magnate, whose private car is said \ to be the most luxurious in America; THE GREATEST CUT-PRICE SHOE Mr. and Mrs. J. © tienen: and Mrs. and | SEIN THE WORLD.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, May %.—Prof. Oscar lL.

Rockefeller was in its way as great as that of Shakspeare. This lecture made him a national fig- ure. Mr. Triggs gained further notice as a result of an attack on the literary and musical merit of the hymns which are usually sung in churches. He de- clared the text in certain cases was doggerel and the music pretty bed. On many other subjects he expressed for his retention. Mr. Triggs went to Paris with Mrs. Triggs and their one child and remained abroad one year. Mrs. Triggs is stili abroad, and said to be stidying in the University of Paris.

New York Lawyer Translates Message Forwarded to Indianapolis. Special to the Post-Dispatch. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 16.—The Greek boys who are employed in the shoe polishing shops in- Illinois and Market streets and Massachusetts av- enue have sent a petition to Mayor Bookwalter asking him to assist them in obtaining relief from the excessive hours they say they are compelled to work. They say they desire some free- dom in order to have a chance to go to school and to become better ‘citizens. They also wish freedom on Sunday that they may go to church. The petition reached the Mayor in a roundabout way. The boys cannot speak English, but they learned that a member of the law firm of Sumner & Parry, New York, was familiar with Greek. They addressed him and the petition to the Mayor was translated by the law firm and returned here. The charge has often been made that these Greek boys-are really slaves of their employers, who bring them from abroad. It is thought that the condition pointed out by this petition throws some light on the real state of affairs. The petition is signed by a dozen local Greeks. It reads: “To the Hon. C. A. Bookwalter, Mayor of Indianapolis: “Knowing your noble sentiments, we the undersigned, take the liberty of ad- dressing this petition to you and will submit the following reasons for our re- quest. “As you may know, all we Greek young men are woraing as shoe pokLshers for 14 hours a day and on Saturdays 18 hours. We do not know the English lan- guage and therefore are unable to seek and find other work. “We ask that you take the necessary measures to diminish the hours of our labor so that we may be enabled: ‘‘l. To attend school after 7:30 Pp. m. to study and learn the language of this country, and thus become better citi- zens. “2. To go to church on Sunday, which is the duty of every Christian, and the most sacred thing. “3. To enjoy a few hours of recreation, so that we may get the benefit of the fresh air. “If it is im ible to permit us to have for ourselves the whole of Sunday, we petition that we may be allowed at least one-half of that day. ‘Trusting that this petition will be fa- vorably received, we thank you in ad- vance for any action which you may take and remain gratefully."’ For that tired feeling refresh yourself with Ls Belcher batn.

WOMEN ARE SUFFERERS

Under ‘Separation Act” Men Are Not Held for Broken Vows:

LAWYERS’ SUGGESTION Annul Marriage for All Who Appear in Court and Sign Agreement,

epecial Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, May 2.—Should ‘‘judicia! separations’’ be abolished in favor of “divorce made easy?” The discussion of this momentous s0- cial question, which was raised by Sir Gorell Barnes, the President of the Di- vorce Court, has shown that there is @ considerable body of opinion in favor of reforming the marriage laws and giving equality to women. Among those who are in favor of re- form may be counted the Hon. Charles Russell, the eminent attorney, who gives @n vutline of his views on the ques- tion. He says: ‘Personally, I am opposed to the prin- ciple of divorce altogether. I believe we should be far better withoyt it. But, once you admit, as we have admitted in English law, the principle of divorce, then I think the only rational thing Is that if two people want a divorce they ought .to have it, on both signing an agreement and registering it in the Di- voree Court, subject always to proper provision being made, under the super- vision of the court, for the care of the children. Degrading System. “My heasons for saying this are that the present system of obtaining divorce is most degrading to both the husband and the wife, and to society, and is very injurious to the prospects in life of the children of the marriage. “The system entails the proof by the one party that the other has been guilty of misconduct and the narration of de- grading details, which all injures the self-respect of both parties.”’ Few men in London have more care- fully studied the seamy side of the life of the working classes than Thomas Holmes, author of “‘Pictures and Prob- lems From London) Police Courts,”’ and for many years a police court mission- ary. Mr. Holmes was, one of the leading supporters of the sulted in the passing of the 1895 act, the granting of so many separations un- der which moved Sir Gorell Barnes tv make his striking pronouncement. Al- though the act has admittedly granted relief to fll-used wives, Mr. olmes agrees that it has brought its own evils.” and in certain casés he is in favor of divorce instead. “There is no doubt separations lead to widespread mis¢onduct,” he says. Unfair to Wife. ‘Tf a wife has a brutal or lazy hus- band, and she is a| hard-working, de- |

iren herself, surely she ought to have ome relief. The difficulty is to know what relief to grant. “If a wife obtains a separation or- der very often the| husband does not pay her the $2.50 or $3 a week. He finds another partner instead, and if his wife summons him for her ali- mony he says, “I have nothing to pay with.’ I have known men to owe $300 in arrears on a $2.50 a week or- der, If they are sent to Jail the im- prisonment wipes out the debt, and then they 1 ee again, and pile up the arrears until they are again sent to Jail. And so on. “What happens to|\ the wife? If she fellows her husband's example, and akes another partner, her husband can have the separation order quashed. He can cast her off, and she has no further claim on him. He may live just as he pleases without doing his wife any legal wrong. But if she es likewise he can cast her off for ever. She is still jeaally his wife, but She has no claim on him. Things are not equal. “There should be fewer separations nltogether, and more facility for ai- vorce, but I would- insist on thorough inquiry before divorce was granted. There should be independent evidence. I think the inquiry might be made be- fore the Magistrate, and the question of divorce then referred to a higher court, “These separation orders are very largely affecting the life of the poor, and I am glad the Judge made his Statement. It is very sad to see a mumber of bruised women waiting in court to give evidence against their husbands.’ TEXAS ONIONS GAIN WORLD REPUTATION.

It ix said quarr ut the wisdom | her and others equally well known. One of the unique arguments used by agents to get investors was that each investor would gain by the carelessness of other investors who allowed their bonds to*lapse through failure to pay the dues, thus adding to the funds of the company. The Attorney-General way the company could hope to pay one bondholder was by using money paid in by another, and since the re- ceipts from such a source and from lapsing bonds could neither be con- trolled nor foretold, the scheme was in the nature of a lottery. Had 100 Stockholders. had about 100 investment says the onl) The National Bond Co. stockholders, whose total amounted to about $123,400. According to’ Assistant Attorney-Gen- eral Goodwin, who quotes from the re- port made by the St. Louis Postoffice inspectors to his department, the stock holders were trying to shift veapoasitell- ity from themselves by exchanging their shares for those of the Continental Se- curities Co., a holding conde for the bonds of the Southern Mutual, Colonial Security and North American Invest- ment Companies. The Southern Mutual is a Louisville concern and the Colonial Security and North American are St. Louls companies. ‘Certain interested persons,’ declares the repor¢ of the postoffice inspectors, ‘successfully looted the treasuries of the Southern Mutual, Colonial Security and North American Investment Companies, obtaining about $500,000 belonging to the various bondholders in these companies, substituting worthless bonds of another fraudulent concern organized for this purpose by themselves and known as the Austin Land and Lumber Co."’ The Austin Land and Lumber Co. is located in Washington County, Missou- ri. It was insolvent and short $125,000, so the postoffice inspectors state, at the time it is charged the stockholders of ‘he National and the other bond compa- nies were trying to unload’ worthless securities on the bondholders.

Mr. Greenwood, when seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter, emphatically denied ali knowledge of the affairs of the National Bond Co.; said he was not a director, officer or stockholder in it, and had absolutely no connec. tion with the concern whatever. He admitted that he had been iden. tified with the Austin Land and Lum- Co,, in a certain business tran- sSaction, the nature of which he re- fused to divulge. “Do vou hold stock in the Continental Securities Co? Mr. Greenwood was asked. “I do The exchange not nor do | know about it.’ he answered. “Did you ever act that company? “I have stated that I was not an offi- or director in it.’ “Were you one of the promoters?” Sager Gave Note for Stock. “I don't care to talk further on this subject.

The assembly is considered have been the most important in the history of the church because’ of the completion of the union with the Cum- berland Church. The solemn declara- tion of the consummation of the union by the moderator and the appearance of delegates from the Cumberland As- sembly were incidents. The declaration of the assembly in fa- vor of church federation is also consid- ered an important step and it is ex- pected that it will be followed by simi- lar action on the part of other church- es. The: movement for- union and fed- eration is believed by church leaders to be in full swing and they predict the early union of all Prtsbyterian churches in the United States. Rev. J. D. Moffatt offered resolutions, which were adopted, intended to concili- ate objectors to the recent union. They set forth that for fear some Cumberland Presbyteries may be reluct- ant to acquiesce in the union because of certain misapprehensions which should be removed, the following declarations are solemnly made: Conciliatory “1.

The State Committee fight in St. Louis will center in the Twelfth District. Practical politicians have aliréady framed a slate which the city admin- istration is trying to break. Two com- mitteemen are to be chosen and open and avowed candidates are James J. Butler and Senator Tom Kinney. The City Hall forces do. not object to Kinney going into the State Com- mittee, but they are tryin ng to induce him to support their candidate, For- mer Coal Oil Inspector William C.

Kinney stands pat and repeats: “Nobody's got any strings on me.” He said at the conference that he is opposed to Flynn, and that he has given his word that the slate on which he and Butler figure shall go through, and that: it is too late to back out. The administration charges that Kinney has gone over to Butler, but Kinney has told his friends that this is not true. At the conference he put this Billy crowd openly it way: “You trotted out Flynn as a candidate. You wouidn't stand for him. flirting with the Oil Trust when was in office, and I'm against him.

That's what they'll say. “You fellows don't want to forget that this committee election is going to be held June 5, It's too late to change the line-up now The threat to take away his City Hall patronage didn't seem to worry Kinney a bit. Looking to Jefferson City. look after my friends all right,’ he said. “Just Write a few lines in your hat you'll remember that this State Committee is going to control the next Democratic nomina- tion for Governor, Theres a few jobs at Jefferson City, and fellows have gone up there from the City Hall to work before now.

The Countess was formerly Miss Marie Nelson. She became the Countess d'Hil- ly in July, 19%. Her parents say the marriage was the result of.a shipboard romance, but the Countess herself says she first met the Count at the World's Fair and consented to marry him when he came back a-wooing last summer, When Marie left St. Louis last July, her parents intended that she should go to Felldorf, Germany, to be a com- panion to her grandmother, Mrs. Jo- hanna Hetzel. Thelr understanding is that Marie and the Count became ace- quainted on the way over. Marie was pretty enough to attract the attention and win the admiration of any Count. This Count fell in love with Marie, ac: cording to the parental ‘version, -and wooed her so ardently while the ship was breasting the bjllows, that when he asked her to be the Countess d’ Hilly as they were promenading on the. deck moonlight night, she just had to “yes,” Were Married in piven: landed they went to Dover and were married, “srosmudder’’ in Felldorf had for another companion.

He pledged them for more money and gambled that he from her grandmother and they went to Paris. It didn’t take the Count long to wear the 4000 marks down to 40 cents. Then the Count ‘“‘vamoosed,”’ say in Paree, and the Countess was left with nothing but a title, and nothing could be raised on that. Friends obtained a passage back ta New York for her. On the way over she dropped her title into the deep, blue sea, and when she landed in New York she was Marie Nelson again. Under that name she obtained employment as a ticket seller at an animal arena in Luna Park, Coney Island, and went to work. Met at World's Fain She met the Count Lucian d'Hilly at the World's Fair, she said and he wanted to marry her. Her father threatened to disown her if she mar- ried the Count, but when he came back last July from his home at Callais and told her he could not live without her, she married him and they went abroad, and, after visiting his people, traveled extensively and wound up at Monte Carlo, where the Count's unskillful bet- ting led to the absorption of «his wealth. She said she had written to her par- ents before sailing: for New York, but had not heard from them and feared that they had hardened their hearts against her. They . haven't, though. . Her parents were glad to hear from her and wrote to New York as soon as they. received her letter. The envelope was misdirect- ted, however, and the letter that she longed for never came, he misdirected Iteer came back vesterday. It was sent off again, rightly addressed, and to compensate for the delay the invitation for her to return: home was made more ur- gent.

Then Holds Door to Keep Young Woman From Calling Aid. Despondent because the woman he loved refused to marry him, and be- cause of chiding letters he had recently received from his parents in Omaha, Neb., H. Roy Penfold, son of a prumi- nent Omaha importer and jobber of surgical instruments, took his life by drinking carbolic acid in the presence of his fiancee last night’ ac his boarding house, 1731 Morgan street. The young woman, Miss Annie Elliot, was burned about the hands with the acid when she tried to snatch the glass from Penfold’s hand and broken glass cut the fingers on her right hand. Miss Elliot and Della Romane, an- other boarder, were in the room when Penfold stepped up to a dresser and drained the contents of a two-ounce bottle of carbolic acid. They Yushed at Penfold and he ran for the door, ex- eer “ claiming that all his trouble would soon ae be over. ‘ Standing, half-faint from the effect of the acid, Penfold tried to hold ‘the door to keep the young women from calling : KING AL FONSI for aid and it was in the scuffle that followed that Miss Elliot was hurt. , | INDULGENT 10 Died In Ambulance.

Members of Board of Equaliza- - tion Plan Surprise for ‘the Railroads. The Sst. Louis Terminal Association will be asked this year to pay taxeg on about $15,000,000 instead of on $3,001,943.81 as heretofore. This increase is typical ‘of the increased valuations that the State Board of HBaqualization plans for every railroad in Missouri having ter- minals in St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, and it will apply also to the terminal associationg of all the cities. Two members of the Board told a re- porter for the Post-Dispatch at Jeffer- gon City that these increases had been determined and there is no doubt that at least one other member, and possibly all three of the others, will agree with thase two. It has been the custom of the State board to assess only one main track in the cities and to consider the other tracks as merely sidetrack, such as are found in small towns along the main track. It is the opinion of the board that in terminal facilities frequently a side track, supplying some or several in- dustries, ig much more valuable and a better revenue producer than many miles of main line which is assessed. All Terminals as Main Line. “Tt ig the purpose of the board this year,”’ said a member, “to assess every mile of the terminal facilities as a mile of main track.

Miss Elliot said after Penfold had killed himself that on numerous occa- sions he had threatened to kill her and himself, and suggested that they end their lives together. A week ago last Thursday Penfold wrote a letter home, dictated by Miss Elliot, saying that he was coming back to Omaha to lead a better life. Miss Elliot promised if he did so she might some day marry him. Waiting for Letter. Penfold waited day after day for an answer to this jtast letter, but no an- swer came and Miss,Elliot thinks the failure of the reply to arrive made him despondent. He had spoken many pen ren in the last faw days of not re- celving an answer to his letter and wondered at the reason for his rela- tives not writing. Last night he again asked Miss E1l- liot to marry him and her answer was the same she had always given. She told him to go home and care for his aged parents and show that he de- served a wife and that some time she might do as he wished. As soon as Penfold saw that Miss Elliot was in earnest he told her and Miss Romane that he was going to take his life and walked to the dress- er where he had the acid.

Man Who Came From Peniten- tiary Induced Her to Move to St. Louis. With her home gone and family bro- ken up, Mrs. John Trappe, wife of the man who is serving a life sentence in the Chester Penitentiary for the mur- der of Henry C. Link, applied to State's Attorney F. J. Tecklenburg at Belleville for aid for herself and three small chil- dren. She was referred to Overseer of the Poor John Weber, who gave her a permit to enter the County Farm for temporary relief. Mrs. Trappe's story was one of mis- placed confidence. She said that short- ly after her husband had been sent to Chester, a man apeared at her home in New Athens, Ill. He declared that he had just come from a visit to the Ches- ter Penitentiary, where he had had a long talk with her husband. To show that he had been there, he exhibited a small heart, carved from a piece of wood, work, he said, of a pris- oner in the Penitentiary. The trinket is now worn by one of the smaller cnpil- aren, Mrs. Trappe says she was distrustful of tne man from the first, but he told suchta straightforward Story that her eldest daughter, Lillie, soon induced her to do as he suggested. He advised her, she said, to sell what furniture she had in the New Athens home and move her family to St. Louis, where she and her daughter, Lillie could get work. At that time Mrs. had $0 in cash, which the man induced her to allow him to carry. She did as oe resed and sold half of her furni- ® and sent th . : 4 , aneht e rest to St. Louis by After. their removal to St. Louis, Mrs. Trappe avers that she noticed a grow- ing intimacy between her 16-year-old daughter, Lillie, and their new friend.

gUR DUC! WILL OUTSHIE SPANISH QUEEN Marlborough’s American Wife Has Spent Fortune for Royal Wedding Gowns.

MANY SPECIAL JEWELS

Her Silver Tissue Dress Is Or- namented With Many Golden Lilies.

YOUNG GIRL ENGAGED

Pretty Miss Blackman Selects Husband Before Her Social Debut.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1906, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) LONDON, May 2%.—An Duchess, born a Vanderbilt, will out- Shine the new Queen of Spain, even when the latter gives herself in mar- riage to King Alfonso next Thursday. The Duchess of Marlborough has ex- pended a fortune in preparations for the royal wedding in Madrid. Her jew- els and her gowns are incomparable. Be- side her a princess will-look almost dowdy, One of the- Duchess’ very beautiful dresses is of finest silver tissue. The skirt is embroidered with golden lilies and ledves. On the bodice, too, golden lilies are worked and the stem of the largest one is prolonged to twine around the waist so as to form a graceful band. The embroideries ang materials for this gown were made especially for the Duchess by a Paris firm and are unique. In preparing for the royal wedding, too, the Duchess of Marlborough has had the diamonds in a small high dia- mond crown reset after the pattern of that Queen Alexandra wears, The Duchess has hag the gems taken from one of her magnificént diamond collars and set into a chain Iong enough to wind twice around her neck and fall to her waist. A beautiful ornament has been made of the Marlborough diamond, little known and seldom seen, which has been in e family for centuries and is al- most as large as the Westminster gem. It has been reset so as to form a pen- dant that will drop from the Duchess hair to her fair forehead. The Duke was very loath to change the settin of this wonderful gem, but his wife ha her way. Miss Helen Blackman’'s engagement Is the talk of the American world here just now. She is extremely young, only 19. in fact, she is not properly out in so- ciety. Her engagement came rather as a surprise, for with her great beauty and wealth it was expected she would make a big match. However, she has chosen Mrs. Stafford’s younger son. The eldest son married Miss Helen’s elder sister two years ago. For years Helen Blackman has been an accepted belle and at children’s parties she caused a sensation with her wonderful brown hair, which she wore in Marguerite plaits reaching far below her waist. The quaint style in which she was dressed énhanced her picturesque appearance. She was one of the very few American girls invited by the Marchioness f Granby to the farewell dance given to Princes Ena of Battenberg, and at Stafford House Tuesday she had the honor to present to the future Queen of Spain, on her arrival with her mother, a special program and a lovely bouquet of roses, No Heir for Beggar’s $20,000, PARIS, May 26.—An old woman, who for vears had begged alms at the doors of Parisian churches, died, and the po- lice found hidden in her bedding in a miserable room in the Rue Saint Sau- veur $200,000 in bank notes, gold and ‘silver.

The bond issue is low and the city’s credit ts high. This will redound to the benefit of the city if the $10,000,- 000 bond issue is voted. Those bonds will be in good demand and as the money is to be applied directly ‘for the benefit of realty, it will also serve to advance real estate values. A small bond issue is a good age but when direct benefits are to be derived from the revenue so raised, a larger bond is- sue is a better thing. Such debts are far different from those incurred to raise money to pay the delinquence of poor government. “Recent transactions in the business district have shown the increasing con- fidence of men of money in the city. The annexation of nearby territory, whioh until a few months ago was con- sidered as residence or boarding-house sites, to the real business district is the very strongest argument of the advance- mént of St. Louis.

KRY SAYS TRUSTS SPELL UPPORTUNITY 2 Retiring Head of $60,000,000 Car Company Talks for Young Men.

CHANCES NEVER GREATER

He Is Resigning to Give Other Men Below Him Their Turn,

WILL STILL BE BUSY.

Says He Would Dry Up and Blow Away if He Were Idle.

ROSE MARION. W. K. Bixby, the St. Louis millionaire who will resign the presidency of the American Car and Foundry next month because he believes in opening ‘the door of opportunity for others,”’ thinks that trusts are deserving of trust. He sees in them no menace hears no call for ‘‘trust busters.’’ He has reasons for his belief which he gave I went to him yesterday lead- BY >. and he to me when afternoon with this as one of my ing questions: “Do not trusts hamper the chances of the young man of the present?’ Although still the acting president of a $60,000,000 concern and interested in enough other business to swamp a dozen more easily excited men, he let me enter his office and ask my questions at once. He liked this question better than some of the others and instead of reply- ing to it in a single phrase, he put aside a pile of typewritten pages that wanted his signature, gave his chair a little start so that it would swing slow- ly, and began to change my view of trusts. Busy, Always Busy. Two minutes before he had half-jok- ingly said: “Yes, I'm busy, always busy.”’

MILLIONAIRE WHO He had followed that one afterwards with: “I’m not looking for newspaper pub- licity.’’ “If you were, this assignment would be In the hands of the advertising de- partment,’’ was the bright reply I didn’t make. I merely approached it with: “That's part of the reason I’m looking for you,” wondering as I did so if this interview wag to demand so much repartee that the memory part of my brain would have to be excused from duty. The dear “young man’s chance with the trusts’ saved the day. Mr. Bix- by enjoyed replying to that question. “Young men never before had the chance that is now theirs and which has been given them by the trusts. Time was when the headship of a trust Was a thing passed around ina family. “When a man died he was succeeded by one of his relatives, son or some one else. The man that started at the bottom could go so far and no far- ther. The man who starts at the bot- tom today has a chance of going to the ‘top, at least of going as far in that direction as he likes. “Trusts are such big concerns that they don’t even ask who a man’s mother was, let alone his father and grandfather. All they want to know is, “Who is he? What can he do” Promotion by Merit. “If he has tact and integrity, good. He gets his chance. The officers of the big trusts are always looking about for capable men and they take them when they find them and put them in the places they can fill. “Promotion is by merit. The very bigness of trusts makes them broad. In the big concerns one finds men who have worked from the bottom in charge. Take the American Car and Foundry Co., which I do not consider a trust because it has many competi- tors, competitors that are close, too. “I do not count it a trust any more than I should the Pullman Palace Car Co., but I wish to use its condi- tions for an example. “Not a man that holds a high place in our company but began at the bottom. I can think of no exception.” “Not even yourself, Mr. Bixby?” I interrupted. I had faint hopes that he might tell me of his boyhood in Michigan and his days as a car counter, but he didn't. He liked better the topic up- on which he was speaking. “The men who are leaders in our company are not the men that were such when the interests of Mr. Mc-

They are entitled to all the honors and emoluments that they can achieve for themselves.” No more would he say about the act that probably has no precedent in the history of finance. They Denies He’s a Hero. He refused to be considered a hero, saying: “I suppose other men have done as I mean to.do,” and no words of mine would induce him to say one critical word of the men who despite their years still insist that the goose - finance continues to lay golden ros for them. I spoke of Rockefeller, Suge and the others, but he said not a condemnatory word. The nearest thing to criticism was the look of pity that I fancied came to his face as I said their names. In order to further discourage me from considering that he contemplat- ed a great act, he said: “I meant to do this six years ago. Mr. McMillan and I were sellers, not buyers. We had no intention of running this com- pany. “I meant to go into ness. Probably had we waited a year we would not have sold at all. As it was 1 found that there wag no one to take matters in charge. I had interests in the concern and my friends had in- terests. When I was asked, I felt that I must take the presidency in order to properly care for those interests. After doing so I would not leave the office until all things were as they should be. They are near that condition now which makes my resignation pos- sible.’’ He spoke of young men so often that you will think he is old. Under 50.

LID MAYOR A SUNDAY FUNERALS -~—-—_—- @ —-— -—— Appeals to Ministers ‘‘To Obey Sabbath” on Behalf of , Drivers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Io., May Having compelled the saloons to close on Sunday, Mayor MacRae is now seek- ing to put a lid on the ministers. A stating that he believed that the minis- ters of Council Bluffs were disregarding the commandment to keep the Sabbath holy by conducting Sunday funerals, Mayor MacRea asked the City Council to take some action to compel the min- isters to do their work in the six days allotted them. He insisted that they must refrain from conducting funerals on the Sab- bath day. He said he made the request on behalf of the Carriage Drivers’ Union and that it was his opinion that the ministers of the city ought to do their part toward making the day one of rest. The Mayor also said that a large num- ber of hack drivers had requested him to use his influence to do away with the Sunday funerals. renee Atte see ’ °° —

The kind of smile that encourages, but indicates any- thing you may wish to attribute to it. “I shan’t lose any, at least,’’ he re- nlied. I pictured it must him throwing money at universities and museums and other in- stitutions conceived for the public good. “I’m not going to sit down and suck my thumb,” he added, and the new pic- ture he mude caused me to refrain from asking him if he really is the ‘‘mys- terious giver’’ Prof. Halsey Ives tells about.

[I had to say “manuscripts,” and by Way of introduction as well as be- cause I was curious to know I asked if he was the American millionaire who bought the plan of the battle of Trafalgar made by Admiral Nelson. My kiiowledge of that one piece of paper was exact as to the price for which it sold, the place of its sale and the man who formerly possessed it. a didn't buy that,” replied Mr. Bixby, “I didn’t know it was up for sale, because I was busy at the time. It brought $18,000 and was sold in London.” The exactness of his figures showed me that I was talking of that which “I was not particularly disappointed in not getting it,” he continued, havea great deal of Nelson.’ Wasn’t that a tragical place for an interruption from an interviewer's point of view? The interruption came in the persos of an urgent telephone cal] and a man that had.an appoint- ment and instead of listenig to some delightful things about manuscripts I had to satisfy myself with “‘collect- ing manuscripts is a fad of mine.

As soon as the automobile was out of range it was stopped and a remon- strance was filed.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—3AY 27, 1906

TORNADO PARTLY CAUSE OF CITY SPREADING OUT Building Commissioner Smith Holds Disaster Indirectly ? esponsible,

‘BIG BUILDING RECORD,

Ten Years of Activity Are Represented in 121 Miles of Frontage. Although ten years Louis was shocked by its greatest ca- lamity—the tornado of May 27, 19%—in the last decade it has passed through a period of building activity not only the most remarkable in its own history, but also approaching closely the records made by the biggest cities of the world in the extraordinary periods of their growth. These ten bustling years of building activity are represented in an equivalent of 121 solid miles of building frontage, erected at an estimated cost of $129,094,- °200. These figures are double the _ re- cords of any other period of ten years in the history of St. Louis. Ahn idea of what these 121 miles of building frontage mean may be obtained by imagining that all of the buildings erected in St. Louis since the tornado were placed side by side without any yard room between. The varied collec- tion of factories, office buildings, dences, hotels and every form of struc- ture seen within the city limits, would stretch from St. Louis to Jefferson City. d, if these many placed in some manner other, reaching far into then the gigantic pillar were to topple over, there would be a line of debris that would reach to Chicago and the building on the top of the pillar would probably go over the Windy City sev- eral miles. Or, if a line of bulldings had been built along the 20 miles of the St. Louis water front and then another line placed upon these and s0 on until all the buildings erected tn the ten years had been exhausted, there would be an -jmmense wall in front of the city, miles long and about 200 feet high. Features of the Activity. But it not only the number bnildings erected during this period that hA@s made it remarkable. The wonder- ful building activity has been featured by certain developments that have been the subject of much commeft in build- ing circles throughout the country. The era of flats the rapid evolution of Olive street, the sudden switching of old estab fShed business centers,.the de- velopment of ®he fashionable resident colonies in the West End, and tlre present skyscraper movement, have made _ the growth of St. Louis during the last de- cade an interesting study to the student of municipal expansion. Exactly what constituted the direct Cause. of this building renaissance is a matter of dispute. But Building Com- missioner James Smith holds the tor- nado to be indirectly responsibie for the activity that tollowed close upon its heels. “The city at the time. the struck it,” said Mr. Smith to a Post- Dispatch reporter, ‘“‘Was in a sluggish fondition as far as building was con- cerned. The downtown market was practically. dead. There was a fair @mount of resident building on the South Side. But the ciity as a whole geemed to be dozing. “The storm seemed to have the same effect of the city that a small bullet thas in the hide of a dozing elephant, Tt shuddered a little, looked around, And then got up and made progress in a definite direction.’ Of course, the tornado, although will always be known as a great ca- lamity, was no more than a very se- Were shock. The district to which its perious destruction was confined was limited, and whatever discouragement Swas felt in the unaffected parts of the city was more that of sympathy than of direct loss and inconvenience. : ‘One arm of the spectacular swept across the river in a southwest- erly direction, swung up the Mill Creek Walley and then laid low the beautiful istrict around Lafayette Park. It was here that the wind that came from the northwest swung down on this district and made the destruction more com- plete. ' In one way this district offered more ehances for the tornado to injure the ity than any other section of the town. ‘Just at this time here was a boom in he building of residences on the South Bide. There were many magnificent dwellings going up along Grand avenue * pnd it seemed as if the South Side were destined to become one of the ago today § St. resi- were the and structures upon sky, one { he is of tornado it storm

most beautiful resident districts in the city. But the storm halted the progress the Sout’: Side was making. It was not only a hait, but also in a majority of in- Stances a complete stop, as many of the owners of: the residences. who suf- fered a complete loss because they had no insurance found themselves unable to rebuild. As a result, many houses were patched up in one way or another and remodeled. Yet, while the South Side was making its uphill struggle ‘to maintain the pres- tige of its resident districts, a new era began in the West End. Before the disaster there hrd been many beautiful resident districts in the West End. Cabanne place and Clemens place had been in existence for a num- ber of years. Westmoreland and Port- land places had received a fair start. But nothing of a particularly enthusi- astic nature had been done in the build- ing line west of King’s highway. Hiardly had the city adjusted itself after the catastrophe than the booming days of the West End began. Cab- anne place expanded from a thorough- rare into a district, which was referred to as “Cabanne"’ simply. The wealth of the city began leaving old Vandeventer place and Lindell and Washington boulevards for Westmore- land and Portland places. These beau- tiful tracts in a short time were most valuable dwelling property West End. As a conse- quence they were built up with beau- tiful residences of the wealthiest citi- zens. During the World's Fair several well-known cosmopolitans said they considered Westmoreland and Portland places to be among the most beautiful residence districts in the world. It was at this time also that oppor- tunities for continuing Lindell boule- vard alongside the park were appre- ciated. This boulevard was called Lin- dell terrace. Although it is yet in its infancy, there. are several dwellings which face on Blair's statue of as beautiful construction as any in West- moreland and Portland places. More- Kingsbury place, and the west- ern extensions of Westminster place, Washington and Delmar boulevards, received a wonderful impetus. It looked as if the whole city were moving west. Neither was thiS movement confined to the wealthier classes. An even more noteworthy movement of the middle began at the same time, LS residence made the in the over, classes Movement Was Westward. On either side of Forest Park new streets stretched farther and farther west. Whole districts seemed to spring up Almost in a night. The cars from downtown began wearing ‘‘Through’’ signs, which meant that they were tak- ing their passengers out to new dis- tricts that had reached out to meet the suburbs. If you rode on an Olive ‘Through’ car, you no longer found the crowd of passengers thinning out before you reached King’s highway. If you stayed on the car long enough you found that most of them got off in the 60 and 7) hundreds. This started the era of flats, in which department of building St. Louis led the country for two years. Long rows of these convenient houses lined either side of blocks on blacks of the new districts. The southern and the southwestern portions of the city led in the erection of fiats. In fact, it was with this style of building that the South Side seemed to awake from the stupor into which it had been thrown by the _ tornado. During the last two years the Building Commissioner's office has been flooded for permits for this type of structure. Not only was their popularity noticeable in the southern portion of the city dnd in the far northwestern districts, but around King’s highway on Berlin avenue, and McPherson avenue and other ma- tured residence districts flats went steadily up. This boom in the West End residence building reached its climax last year, as did the era of flat construction. In 19% the number of all kinds of resi- dences constructed was double the num- ber of those erected during the booming days of preparation for the World’s Fair in 1905, and the ratio of flat con- struction in the same year was as 7 to l. The figures covering the two years are as follows: Estimated Cost: $3,121,996 6,934,290 Number. Residences— 641,897 6,344,850 Meanwhile the downtown district be- gan showing new signs of life. The money the real estate men had made in the West End began making its way into real estate investments in the financial district. This was supple- mented by investments of the different St. Loulsans who had madé& money during the World's Fair and who chose to put their money in real estate. Evolution of Olive Street. The evolution of Olive street was one of the imovortant and most widely ap- preciated effects of the West End move- ment. Washington avenue had been the great business street. But the people who began living away out in the West End found it inconventlent to use the Washington avenue car lines, which switched some distance northwest of Grand avenue. Olive street, with its straight car line running out into the very heart of the newly awakened West End, naturally fell heir to most of the advantages pos- sessed by Washington avenue. Olive street became the main artery, not only of the downtown district, but also of practically the whole central Strip of the city from the river out be- yond King’s highway. - It began draining the business of the downtown district. Consequently, from being used as a passenger traffic street, it suddenly became a business street of wonderful opportunities. Discerning real estate men were quick to realize what the new movement meant. Business houses, shops, stores, hotels and boarding houses, sprang up along Olive street along its entire length. It was soon not only a connect- ing link between the business district and the West End, but also a business district in itself. The evolution of Olive iniere j building circles throughout the country. .

factories has been rather at a stand- still, as a result, it is held, of the bridge arbitrary. But the most important movement of all, which has just begun, is in the heart of the Gowntown district. St. Louis has never been very far to the front in its skyscrapers and big office buildings. In.the nast two or three months, however, plans have been drawn for nearly a score of large struc- tures that will not only mean a new era for downtown real estate, but also it is in the last year that Vandeven- ter avenue has taken such gigantic strides. At the intersection of Olive street and Vandeventer avenue there is now an atmosphere of bustle and en- terprise that seems to spell the future of the street. Following the building up of this ar- tery, cross-street business centers be- gan switching. Instead of the westward movement taking gradual strides, it be- gan in irregular jumps. Jefferson ave- nue began developing, while Eighteenth Street and Twelfth street seemed to be ata standstill. Then Grand avenue had its day of glory, which seemed to have faded somewhat. Now it is Vandeven- Then, there have been movements:on the North Side and the southeastern part of town. These, however, have not been so regular as to be’ easily appre- ciated or understood. The building of

will mark the beginning of new finan- cial centers. From present indications it looks as if Fourth street will soon be as famous in St. Louis as Wall street in New York. All the big financial institutions are man ifesting a great eagerness to get on or as near Fourth street as possible. Another feature of the period which affects the West End as well as the downtown district is the hotel and apartment house movement. The World's Fair gave a good start to these build- ings. It sems as if capitalists here are

something more than patriotic institu- tions, judging from the number that are now going up. And at present we have in the West several of the finest hotels in the country. All this has been done in ten years. Students of building conditions say that it, Is only a prelude to a wonderful growth of the city. “The most important movements of this period have just begun,’ said Com- misioner Smith, “‘so I feel Justified in saying that I think St. Louis has en- tered on an extraordinary chapter of its gro organization composed of former members of the First Baptist Church, Fourteenth ‘and Clarke avenue, who severed their connection from ‘that church three months ago, has . the Evangelical 8t.

RUSSIAN HOUSE t * SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 27, 1906

HOTLY DEMANDS MINISTRY QUIT Enthusiastic Vote Follows Em- peror’s Refusal to Grant Legislature’s Terms.

ONLY SEVEN FAVOR OZAR —

Raditchoff, Leader of Constitu- tional Democrats, Delivers. Answering Address.

MANY STRANGE DEMANDS

Want Upper House Abolished, and Country’s’ Lands Di- vided Among Peasants. ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.—The Em- peror of Russia, in a speech delivered by Premier Goremykin, refused the de- mands made upon him by the Lower House of Parliament in answer to the address from the Throne. The House at once voted to ask for the ministry’s resignation. Some of the demands would appear radical even in a republic. The Emperor refused the demanded general amnesty for political prisoners. He declared that he would not, as demanded, abolish the _ Upper House or Council of Empire, be- cause the fundamental law provided for it. He asserted plainly that he could not, as demanded, confiscate the prop- erty of landed proprietors to divide it among the peasants, but asserted a willingness to use court appendages for this purpose. A number of other un- reasonable demands met a like fate. The House was more crowded than on the opening day. Silence Greeted Speech. All present were aware that the re- sponse would be a refusal and reso- lutions expressing lack of confidence in the Government by the Constitu- tional Democrats and the labor party had been drafted in advance. The members sat stolidly silent during the reading, and when _ the Premier had finished and bowed to the assembly not a murmur of ap- proval was heard throughout the House, where the pages immediately began to distribute printed copies of the speech, M. Roditcheff,' the leader of the Constitutional Democrats, immediate- ly mounted the rostrum to reject in behalf of his party the Government's reply. With burning words he flung down the guantlet to the Government. M. Roditcheff turned toward the benches occupied by the Ministry, and, with arm outstretched, menac- ingly declared, “It is not the Gov. ernment, but the representatives of the people here, who must decide what #s best for Russia.’ When M. Roditcheff ended the members were wild with enthusiasm. M. Roditcheff concluded with a de- mand for the retirement of the bureau- -eratie Cabivet and e creation of a re- sponsible Ministry from the _ people's representatives, The members sprang to their feet and for three minutes wild- ly cheered him and his speech. The house then, with only seven dis- sentients, voted demanding the resigna- tion of the Ministry and its replacement by a Cabinet composed of members chosen from those enjoying the confi- dence of the majority of the Lower House of Parliament. Trouble Intensified. Instead of acting as a sedative, the assembling of Parliament has _ been marked by an alarming increase in rev- olutionary agitation and terroristic ac- tivity on the one hand and of Black Hundred activity on the other. The ex- tremists of both sides are divided into two hostile camps and both are arming. Sanguinary conflicts continue to be reported. A sequel to the clash on Archangel Square here, two days ago, when the Black Hundreds fired 50 re- volver shots, killing one man and se- riously wounding three, came last night, when a Black Hundred man who parttcipated in the affair was waylaid and murdered by social revo- lutionists. The Social Democrats are working might and main to cast discredit on Parliament and produce an uprising of the elemental forces. They have @lready precipitated an _ incipient eps in the industrial quarter of loscow, and at Odessa the longshore- men have struck. Not a single ves- sel left that harbor yesterday. The Black Hundreds at Odessa are eet gg Aaa, to incite the people to at- tack the Jews by the circulation of false paper money purporting to have been issued by an alleged Jewish re- ~ in Tula Province, with Maxim ig 4 as president and Father Gapon and M. Krustaleff as vice-presidents. The vernment’s refusal to grant apnenty to the political prisoners fur- nishes the proletariat organizations a powerful eapon and they threaten that unless tomorrow the anniversary of the Emperor's coronation, sees am- nesty proclaimed, to call a general strike as a preliminary to an armed uprising.

WAS LOST SIXTY HOURS

From Snowstorm He Wandered Into Terrific Heat of Desert.

HAD NO WATER TO DRINK

Short Sleep in Nauseating Mud Revived Him for Final Effort. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RHYOLIVE, Nev., May 2%.—H. W. Boyer, a mining man of Geldfield, while on a prospecting trip to the Funeral range became lost, wandered into Death Valley and narrowly escaped death from thirst and hunger. Mr. Boyer has ar- rived in camp here, and that he lives to tell the tale is perhaps due to the fact that through the trying ordeal, while suffering the tortures of many torments, he never lost his presence of mind and never gave over his fixed determination to reach a place of safe- ty. He was onthe desent for two days ang three nights and covered a distance of 75 miles, 15 of which lay across a salt marsh hitherto considered impassable. His story is: “I left Greenwater in the Funeral range early one morning without taking either food or water, intending to pros- pect southwest, turn north, pass the Clark camp, and finish up the day’s journey at the Kunze camp, the whole distance including not more than seven or eight miles. Lost in Snowstorm, “A blinding snowstorm, however, came up early in the forenoon, and I lost my bearings by following a canyon, which opens out into Death Valley, where even at this season of the year the heat is terrific. “In the distance, across a salt marsh, I could see a line of mesquite which 1 mistook for Furnace Creek, where 1 knew food and drink awaited. avoid making a detour of miles and miles, I determined to cross the slough, and lucky for me I was unaware that among prospectors this feat is regarded as impossible. “It was late in the afternoon of the first day when I reached the marsh and I determined to camp there for the night before making an attempt to cross. While in the range I had found a pool of water in the rocks which helped me a great deal, but even at this ‘time my thirst was overpowering. My first attempt at crossing the marsh the next morning was far from encour- aging. I sank to my knees in the mud and water and it was with difficulty that I succeeded in extricating myself. ‘“T soon found that my only hope lay in a zigzag. route, confining my journey to the solid places. Late in the alfter- noon of the second day I reached to within 300 yards of the farther shore, when the blocks gave out, and it was up to me to either brave the muddy depths or retrace my steps. It looked to me like a case of die anyway, and I chose the former. Reaches Trees; No Water. Strapping my boots to my back and to avoid sinking as much as possible, I desperately plunged in and after a most exhausting effort I succeeded in reaching solid ground. Regaining my strength somewhat, & made for the mesquite range, only to find that Fur- nace Creék was not there. I camped for the night and _ =~started early next morning. “The last day’s journey was torture which no human 0being can depict. Footsore, my tongue swollen and arched, and with fast failing strength, f araaeed myself forward in the direc- tion I thought Furnace Creek lay. “Once I came upon a puddle of rain water. It was five or six inches deep and five or six feet long. , I tried to drink the water, but it was thick with mud and nauseating. Then like a hog I wallowed in it. While lying there I went to sleep and slept for more than an hour. This did me much good, for the evaporation of my body had a cool- ing effect and I (felt much refreshed when I awoke. “About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more dead than alive, I reached Fur- nace Creek, almost completely ex- hausted. I do not believe I could have lived another hour, and strange to re- late I was not hungry, but the pangs of thirst were above every other form of suffering I experienced. I lost 18 pounds, and I never expect to be so near death again until the final summons comes.”’ TROUBLE HEAPS ON YOUNG BRIDEGROOM.

WASHINGTON, May 26.—The Senate Naval Affairs Committee today accept- “ed the House provision for building the largest battleship afloat. It is to be Dreadnaght, of 20,000 tons, now being built in a British ship- yard. There was some opposition to the ‘plan by those who believe the type cum- bersome and unwieldy, but no pro- nounced fight was made against the proposition. The Senate committee also gave heed to the warning served by Rear Admiral Mason that the American navy would be helpless and inefficient in time of wor, through insufficient armament and pow- der supply. A million dollars was added oe the’ $1,300,000 appropriated by the ouse for u reserve powder supply, mak- Gng the total appropriation $2 "300,000.

» ad He Will Present Two of Gor- din’s Plays at the Century. BY O. LEONARD. Says Jacob P. Adler, the greatest liv- ing Yiddish actor: ‘‘Work, hard work, acting is, but it is one of the most pleas- ant sensations in the world to know that the message you have for the audi- ence is carried, delivered, and interpret- ed by yourself. I have given my life to be able to make men and women abhor that which is evil and love, nay, wor- ship, that which is right. The actor who wants to do such a thing can do it bet- ter than anyone else.”’ These few words are the keynote to the art of Adler, who will be seen in two performances Sunday, June 3, at the Century. Jacob Adler has been on the Yiddish stage for over thirty years. Those who know anything about the

Jewish stage, even of today, not to say ‘anything about olden days, will under- stand what it means. Only the utmost enthusiasm for the art of acting could keep a man _ struggling for so many years and not give up the game. Acting for 30 years on the Yiddish stage means almost martyrdom. The audiences are small, limited, critical and too poor to be profitable, although they want the best. But Adler struggled with the faith of a prophet and with the strength of a fanatic. Born in Odessa, Jan. 1, 1855, Jacob Ad- ler was sent to the best Russian schools apd afterwards to the university. In 1875, when he entered upon his universi- ty career, an event happened that turned his thoughts to the stage. A company of Yiddish actors came from Roumania, the birthplace of the Yiddish stage, and Adler, who saw them play, was very much impressed and became enthusias- tic about the Yiddish stage. He began to love .the stage,’ talk of it and see in it his future. With other youths he or- ganized amateur theatricals and took Sarions parts until, by the absence of a tragedian whose place he was compelled to take, he found his specialty. In 1878 he made his first appearance on the pro- fessional Yiddish stage. With this the Jacob Adler, Greatest Yiddish Player to Apbtear in St. Louts Next Week JACOB ADLER, THE GREAT YIDDISH TRAGEDIAN.

era of struggle against prejudices, mis- ery, persecution and, worst of all, petty jedliousy, began. The Russian Government, with suspli- cion, turned its attention to the Yiddish stage that began to gain popularity. The representatives of czarism feared that propaganda for freedom might be carried on by aid of the Yiddish stage, and prohibited the presentation of Yid- dish plays. The company in which Ad- ler played went to-London, where they received scant welcome in the east side. They were pioneers, and, like ¢ pioneers, had to struggle to pave the way. After five years of want. dis- cOuragement and costly experiences, Jacob Adler came, in 1888, to New York. Here he began anew. His fame had traveled over the ocean. He was wel- comed. But beyond the applause there was nothing. There were not enough Yiddish-speaking theater goers to re- ward well the talen of the favorite actor. He could have left the stage and studied law or become a merchant, like other actors did. But he had a message to deliver. He wanted to see the Yid- dish stage raised to the level of the French and English stage. Now, as he is over 630 and looks back upon his career, he is happy, as he sees Yiddish theater goers demanded each more. Today, old as he is, he sstill works hard. Every new role he plays he studies out carefully. This means a great deal if it is remembered that in his career Adler has played about HW different parts. There was a time when the Yiddish theatergoers demanded each night a different play,-and the request hag to be granted or the theater re- mained deserted. In 190% the event of Adler’s career came. He was invited to present Shy- lock ou the American stage. He had played the part in Yiddish repeatedly. An American theater manager saw him once in the famous play and wanted the Yiddish ood gg to present it to the Ameri- can public? But Adler was too old to undertake the study of English. He agreed to play with an American com- pany, where every player but he spoke the lines in. English. The audience did

not understand a word of what he said, but they read bis facial expression, his estures, and that was enough. Adler

nterprets Shylock as a martyr, an avenger of wrongs done against him and his people. At the Century Adler will two of Jacob Gordin’s plays, ‘‘The Stranger,’’ ut the matinee, and ‘The Tree of Knowledge’’ in the evening. appear in

Corrupted Railway Clerks Re- port Independent Shipments So Prices Can Be Out.

BY SAMUEL WILLIAMS. A Stat’ Writer for the New York World and the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, May 26. VIDENTLY John D. Rockefel- ler must have conceived the organization of the Standard Oil Co. on the accepted theory of the Trinity. His manifest practicality leads one to believe that his mind turned to the most perfect example of controlling large interests, and that he established ‘the three-in-one idea, placing himself at the head and Rogers and Archbold in the next two lower places. On the steps sit the lesser satellites."’ A calm, keen and clear-headed man sitting in the luxury of a Broadway modern hotel made this observation. For 19 years John P. Gruet gave his life to the Standard Oil Co. Then his soul and conscience were demanded; he declined to yleld them up. Starting in the citadel at 26 Broadway, he later went to St. Louls and became secretary of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., that great and enormously profitable subsidiary corporation over which At- torney-General Hadley of Missouri re- cently fought and defeated the oil kings in New York. The Standard binds its men to atrict- est secrecy and holds them terrified even after retirement. No man in high position has ever before told of what goes on behind the closed doors. Mr, Gruet is the first to break silence and tell the story of the kingdom of oil. ‘‘Perhaps,”’ he added, ‘“‘the three are in training to take a hang in ruling the hereafter as well as the, ‘sent and de- throne the reigning odcupants in their positions and authority. “The Standard system of today that camps around the throne of the trinity is managed by an executive committee to whom auxiliary committees report. The members of this committee are Wil- liam Réckefeller, John D. Archbold, H. H./Rogers, James A. Moffett, Walter nnings, Frank Q. Barstow, W. H. ilford and C. M. Pratt. John D. a “Consulting Engineer.” “John D Rockefeller now is simply a consulting engineer. Up to a few years ago he was active in business. He was the controlling influence in the whole system. The executive committee dealt then merely with details. He had veto power and changed arbitrarily any- thing he did not like. Increase of busi- ness, advancing years and various othtr reasons made it necessary to divide re- sponsibilities, which were assumed chiefiy by William Rockefeller, H. H. dé

mo Rogers, John D. Archbold and Benjamin Brewster, the latter now dead. “All of these were strong-minded men with firm opinions, but they agreed to a majority rule and all submitted to it. Yet within their respective lines each of these men is absolute. They have taken other younger men into the coun- cil and, with them, make up the ruling powers of the system. “The greatest secrecy surrounds the executive committee. Its sessions are behind closed doors. No one knows what is done save by the results. Those who might be called junior members are Moffett, Jennings, Pratt and Barstow. Jennings and Pratt have risen because of the large interests inherited from their fathers. Moffett and Barstow came up through 40ng service in the ranks. ‘Under this executive committee are various other committees with direct charge over the branches of the busi- ness. Among the most important of these that come in close relation with the people are the domestic and for- eign trades committees. They have supervision of selling ofl throughout the world.

‘ma and Indian Territory, United States fleld. It drives out of business the independent dealers. Its members are the men who cut rates to ruin; any competition that threatens to make serious inroads om the Standard’s monopoly. They give the orders for the underhand methods that reach into every village and hamlet. Committees That Work. “There are numerous other commit- tees, each with its specific branch of the business to look after. The Crude Off Committee handles the production of the various flelds; purchases it at prices arbitrarily fixed in New. York; turns the oll over, to the pipe lines for transpor- tation to the refineries, where it is pre- pared for the market. All these other departments make ready the finished product for the Domestic Trades Com- mittee to sell to the people and drive out competition. “The Standard has come very near to maintaining its absolute monopoly, but with the opening of new producing fields, such as Texas, Kansas, Oklaho- | independent refineries are springing up,, and _ inde- pendent dealers in the finished products are starting in many cities and entering into open competition with the long- standing ‘benefactor of mankind.’ “T use this phrase advisedly, for all the great leaders of the trust believe, or profess to believe, that they conduct a great moral institution based on the democratic idea of the greatest good to the greatest number. In this particu- lar case, however, they reserve the right to nominate who constitute the great- est number. Up to the present time the vote has been unanimous for thetn- selves.”’ ‘In your long connection with the company you undoubtedly became fa- miliar with many secret methods. Can you give definitely and unqualifiedly a single example of any one of the many things denounced in public gen- eralities?’’ Mr. Gruet did not hesitate. When he made up his mind to speak at all he fortified himself with evi- dence to prove his statements. He ran over three or four different subjects to pick out one that would be simple to all readers. Then he replied: An Example of Its Methods. “Attorney-General Hadley in his se- cret examination of Standard officials had but one fact to establish and that was ownership by the trust and cer- tain alleged independent companies. He merely touched legally upon the methods by which control of trade is maintained by the trust. He did not go into the crushing out of competi- tion, the ruin of dealers, the subsidiz- ing of railroad employes and the com- bination with higher railroad officials. I think I can throw some light on such affairs. “For 80 years I was secretary of the Waters-Pierce Ofl Co. in St. Louis. Mr. Hadley forced out the testimony that showed how this concern was a secret branch of the Standard, controlling the trade of the Southwest and of Mexico, an enormous territory. So I can speak from direct knowledge of transactions up to last year. From the many n- volved transactions of business I will give the one of subsidizing railroad employes for an ‘example of under- ground methods. “It was the custom to have in our employ a man to whom was furnished every month a sum of money to dis- tribute among minor clerks and em- loyes of the railroads in our territory. n return, he made records of shipments to and from independent companies. of Letting Nothing Pass. r information was coupled with moe I suppose was received from other i went to head 3

from New York critical comments on the conditfons of our territory and the progress that competitors were making. There also was sent to us information of shipments from outside points des- tined to places within our territory. This was valuable news to us. “We naturally could not know other- wise of shipments from outside inde-

pendent refiners or dealers until: they tame within our scope. The New York Clearing House kept us posted, how- ever, on things heading our way, just as we told of shipments outward bound. “Forewarned of a coming consign- ment, we notified our agent at the point affected to be prepared and take pre- ing oil at a certain figure per 1000 miles run by the car or locomotive. In return, the oil company agrees to give the railroad a certain amount of its freight. These secret agreements have variousS written or unwritten clauses that prove mutually profitable and shut out every competitor. “How far they will bear investigat- ing is gor the authorities to find out. But what chance for fair trade has an independent of] déaler under such cir- cumstances? All open competition is cut off. He cannot sell his product to the railroads, even though he make advantageous terms, and his freight has to suffer because of the favored customer, “Let me cite a @efinite instance of what an independent has to endure from the railroads. I have the data of a shipment of a:tank of independent naphtha from Toledo, O., to St. Louis, Mo. The car was two days on the way from Toledo to East St. Louis, a dis- tance of several hundred miles. But to get it across the Mississippi River bridge from East St. Louis to the con- signee’s éstablisnhment, a distance of perhaps five miles, required two weeks. Knowing the game, I think the con- _ was lucky to have gotten it at all. “The men who rule the Standard ha.é wealth and position, but not honor among their fellow men. Why has the world withheld honor, the one thing that is bestowed only when well earned” The conditions under which ol] became one of the necessities of life were nat- urally such that honor was the certain reward that would be unstintingly giv- en to the man who utilized a natural product for the good of tnankind, “When the new earth product was found, John D. Rockefeller put into n0- tion the methods of utilizlag for the benefit of the p le what rature gave. Then why is the® world’s good opinion lacking when this master Jeveluped to the full this new sontribution? ‘“‘Money is the answer. Greed of gain came-upon the scene and the struggle began to get all of nature’s xzift within the control of self and !evy tribuie on the world that would makes riches quickly, regardless of the rights of man.’’

A chase of five blocks over fences, through alleys and vacant lots after a burglar early yesterday, ended when Harry Smith, a negro from Chicago, was caught at Union Station by Patrol- Smith had a shattered arm and a gunshot wound in the abdomen to prove Cuddihee’s good marksmanship during the long run, Cuddihee two weeks ago captured two alleged burglars and shot one when he tried to get away. Smith, though dangerously wounded, is wroth at what he terms a “throw aown’’ by his “‘lookout,’’ who failed to warn him of the approach of the po- liceman. Smith was in the jewelry Mueller Bros., at 1804 Olive street. He had gained admission by forcing the transom over the front door with a screwdriver. Cuddihee passing in front of the store noticed a shadow. He stopped to investigate and saw the shadow of a man creeping toward the rear. The rear door gave way to the burglar’s touch and he ran into the alley. Cud- dihee dashed through a gangway, Alongside the building into the same al- ley. The policeman yelled to the burglar to stop, but his cries were unheeded. The man was climbing a fence. store of Shot on Top of Fence. As he reached the top of the fence, Cuddihee fired and the bullet shattered the fugitive’s arm. He continued fis fiight with the policeman in full pursuit. At the next fence he was shot in the. abdomen, but continued to run south through alleys and across lots towards Union Station. All winded by the chase, Cuddihee met William Gunn of 313 North Chan- ning avenue at the northwest corner of the Union Station, and shoving Xs revolver in Gunn’s hand, told him to follow the negro and corner him. Gunn. Smith and uddihee all entered the Union Station about the same time. Smith, a few yards ahead, ran into the lavatories, where Gunn and the po- liceman arrested him. When searched several articles of jewelry were found on him and identified as belonging in the store where Cuddihee caught first sight of the negro. ith readily admitted the robbery.

More men and women have gotten positive results from the use of NEWBRO’S HERPICIDE than from all other hair remedies combined. Newbro’s Herpicide is the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ. It eradicates dandruff, stops falling hair and permits natural hair development by destroying the tiny vege- table growth (a germ or microbe) that causes hair destruction. Nature constantly struggles to supply life and vigor to the hair, but the dandruff germ saps this vitality and strangles the life out of the hair. , _ START RIGHT By DESTROYING THE CAUSE of Hair Loss with NEWBRO’S HERPICIDE EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS..SOMETIMES FOLLOW ITS CONTINUED USE . ene «

~GATARRH FROM CHILDHOOD Cured by Hyomei, the Only Medicine for Catarrh that is Guaranteed. The popularity and growth of Hyo- mei are unique in the annals of medi- cine. The dethand for the Hyomei out- fit and the extra bottles in St. Louis has been something phenomenal. The fact that Hyomei cures catarrh in the only natura] and sensible way, that is, through breathing medicated air, not by taking drugs into the stom- ach, no doubt has helped in the intro- duction of the treatment. There is cer- tainly no other remedy for catarrhal diseases that is so effectual as Hyomei, and its discovery—has realized in part Pasteur’s prophecy, “We shall one day rid the world of all diseases that are caused by germs.” The worst and most chronic cases of | cCatarrh readily yield to the use of Hyomei. People who have. suffered from childhood have been cured by this remedy. J. 8, Nugent, treasurer of the American Union Insurance Co., New York City, writes: “Hvomei has com- pletely cured my daughter of catarrh, from which she had been suffering for years,” A complete outfit costs only one dol- lar, extra bottles 50 cents. If you cannot obtain Hyomei of your dealer, it will be forwarded by mail, postage paid, on receipt of price.

NEW MEASURE POPULAR

Walsh Gives Facts on Present System in the United ' Kingdom. GORDON’S VIEW OF KERRY

Origin of Now Popular Term, “Boycott,” and Its Story.

BY RICHARD D. WALSH, For the first time since the Reforma- tion the Church of England and of Rome find themselves in unison. The question on which they agree is opposi- tion to the Education Bill just intro- duced by the English Minister of Edu- cation. This bill is exciting extraordi- nary interest in the British Isles, al-

though it does not apply to the educa- tional systems of Scotland or Ireland. Ireland's interest in the bill is due to the fact that the overwhelming major- ity ‘of the Catholic school children of Eng.and are Irish, either by birth or descent. The elementary education of England and Wales is now given under two sys- tems, viz. chureh schools and board schools. Church schools’ give special religious instruction, each denomination having its own schools, its own teach- ers and imparting its own catechism and creed and form of prayer. These schools educate nearly three millions of children. On the other hand board schools sup- ply only knowledge of the Bible, ele- mentary Christianity, and educate about two million children. Under the pres- ent regime both schools receive State aid. The system proposed by Mr. Birrell, the English Minister of Education, puts and end to all State aid to church schools, and thus n@ public money will be devoted to the teachings of any dis- tinctive religion. England is adopting French methods in this education bill. This is shown by the fact that existing church schools in order to obtain finan- cial support must abandon their re- ligious character. The new system—pro- posed in the bill—abolishes all religious tests, and hereafter teachers will be ap- pointed without regard to religious opin- jons. The Catholic Archbishop of Westmin- ster and the bishops of the Catholic Church in England are strongly opposed to the bill, but it is supported by the Nonconformist body and the labor mem- bers in Parliament, and there is little doubt that it will pass, virtually as it has been proposed. Gordon's View of Kerry. In John Redmond's” speech on the budget he called attention to Gen, Gor- don’s remarks on the condition of Kerry when that celebrated warrior was a vis- itor to that quarter of the Green Isle. It will be interesting to reproduce ‘‘Chi- nese Gordon's’ words on the condition of the Kingdom of Kerry when he visit- ed it. In a letter to the London Times from Glengariffe he said: “TI must say, from all accounts and from my own observation that the state of our fellow countrymen in Kerry is worse than that of any people in the world, let alone Europe. “TI believe these people are patient be- yond belief, but at the same time brok- IFOUNDRYMEN BUY RON FROM PRISON State Foundry Gains Point After Cutting Trade of Competitors, Special to the Post-Dispatch AUSTIN, Tex., May 19.—A delegation of foundry men attending the meeting for the purpose of effecting a State or- ganization, appeared before the State Penitentiary Board to discuss an ar- rangement wig-reby they could buy the surplus output of pig iron. manufactured at the Rusk Penal Iron Foundry. The matter was thoroughly talked over and finally an arrangement was reached whereby the Texas foundry men will buy the output and thus to a considerable extent keep the State from -being in the market with the finished product. This appeared to be satisfactory to the foun- dry men. The delegation was headed by W. S. Mosher of las, president of the Tex-

position that the State production on the open market would injure the foun- dry men. Financial Agent Wortham of the Pen- itentiary said that the State was open to negotiations to sell its pig tron. That unless an arrangement could be made the State would have to continue the manufacture of sash weights, water pipes and sad irons. Mr. Mosher said that whHe a year ago his firm manufactured 40 per cent of sad irons, now this was reduced to 5 per cent. No regular agreement could be en- tered as it would be contrary to the anti-trust laws, but it was practically decided that Texas foundries would buy the output at the same terms Birming- ham iron can be bought. Mr. Mosher stated that a test had been made of the Texas iron and it was found to be equal if not better than the Birmingham iron. SNORER FINED $25. Special to the Post-Dispatecn. KANSAS CITY.

BUT HO. MAYOR Kansas Town Finds Itself in Predicamen tas to Officers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WELLINGTON, Kan., May 19.—The peace and dignity of this town is being watched by rival sets of police officers. This condition of affairs is the result of the appointment Monday night by George Hunter, President of the City Councll, of a new City Marshal and as- sistant. Asserting that the confirma- tion of the new man, Charles Shawver, was illegal, Webb Davis, the old Mar- shal, refuses to abdicate. The novelty of having rival police officers is not all that this town has in the way of oddl- ties just at present. Last Saturday, W. R. Savage, Mayor of this city, was to be a witness in a ‘Joint’’ trial. He was the star witness ceafing his intention by going to the side of the train opposite the depot. People on the train say that he had a pair of trousers, unwrapped, and noth-, ing else by way of baggage. When the Judge discovered that the Mayor had apparently fled to evade the process of the court he continued the case and or- dered a fine for contempt of court. The seeming attempt of the Mayor to avon giving testimony that might result in his losing a profitable tenant roused the town. A jal Council meeting was called Monday to make the wag Bans serge ts ments for the year. George Hunter is President of the Council. = After waiting until the last train was in, to be absolutely sure that the stray- ing Mayor had not returned at the elev- enth hour, the Council acted. All t#e old officers, with the exception of the marshals, were reappointed, the police, it is said, being let out because they were affected by an alleged inability to see clearly when matters pertaining to the moral status of the city were brought before them.

vw Ninth Inning Charge Makes Two Runs And Snatches Game From Cardinals That They Had All But Won—McBride Once More the Unfortunate Offender. BY J. B. SHERIDAN. An’ the kind and patient reader pleaseth, we will begin this tale of a base- ball game as a woman begins a novel, at the end, and write and read towards the beginning. For as is, _her Bertha M. Now the score was 3-2 in favor of the Cardinals. perhaps the case of the much-derided feminine and Clay, the finish is fy far the most interesting part of it. It was the ninth inning, two men were out and the spectators homeward bound from the St. Louis-New York game at League Park Saturday evening. Then McBride, the unfortunate, threw Marshall's grounder over the head of In a minute Bresnahan singled and stole moaned and returned to their seats. Beckley. The hurrying crowds second. Browne singled and the game belonged to the team of the City of New York. For, though St. Louis had a turn at bat, there was nothing do- ing. So we all went home. But not until we had seen a ripping game of ball. It was nip and tuck, “one team ahead now, then the other, and a nerve-racking finale. Taylor pitched very good ball for St. Louis. Mathewson pitched very weak ball for New York. From start to finish the mighty man of last fall was ‘battered and beaten all over the field. His support was not good. Gilbert was horrid at second. Bowerman was bad. There were others. McBRIDE’S MISFORTUNE. It was all up to George McBride, gentle, game, well-tempered, unfortunate. McBride. Gilbert and Strang were down in the New York half of the final in- ning. Marshall comes to bat for Mathewson. He gets two strikes, then hita a grounder to McBride. The shortstop is playing deep, gets the ball nicely and throws over the head of Beckley to the pavilion, Grady backs up fine and holds Marshall on second. Then comes the murdering Bresnahan, a very devil in a pinch. He cracks one to left. McBride, playing better than he knows, is away, deep, almost in the outfield, and chokes down the hit. If it does not take a had bound he gets Marshall at third. But it bounds badly. Marshall over- slides the base and gets back before Arndt can nail him. Awful. BROWN THERE IN THE PINCH. Things are now lovely. There is not a soft seat in the house. Every man, woman and child is sitting on the edge of his or her chair and whimpering with nervousness. Off goes Bresnahan for second on the second ball pitched to Browne. Gra- dy bluffs to throw, holds the ball and looks to see if he can get Marshall. Nothing doing there. It is a perfectly beatiful situation now. Two men on sec- ond and third and two out and a single needed to tie. The single was forthcoming. Browne welted one on the wimple and sent it singing to center. Beckley. St. Both runners roll home.

Strang singled to left and took second when Mathewson hit hard to Beckley.Jake got the ball in his mitt, but could not hold it. short fiy to Shanon, a rather daring but successful performance. Bresnahan made an artistic sacrifice. Strang ran i on Browne's A puzzling one, too, as Shannon was just back of short field and his throw seemed good. But it was too late. The Giants assumed a one-run lead in the fourth. Devlin got a base on oalis after two were out. Right back at them came the Cardinals, Taylor singled to right. Grady’s grounder. He at Once Stole second and scored on Gilbert's hit. Dahlen duffed to game as could be. Browne muffed Bennett's fly right. Grady scored when Shannon forced Bennett at second. Arndt sacrificed him to second in most skillful style. Bowerman, put him on third. Now it was up to Himes; one single and two triples, during the game to tie the score. Arndt’s out, Gilbert to who had three hits, There was his field-fellow, Smoot, staring him on third base with the wining run in his four bones if Himes would, could, or should only hit. stood still and let McGinnity sail bumped off foul after foul, then strike over. That is all. The rightfielder took a strike, the third CHAMPIONS AND SECOND RATERS. Both McBride and Himes played brilliant ball until it came to that one final and fearful and decisive play where they could say to themselves, “Now let me get this man—or this hit—and the game is ours.” Then they broke. Bresnahan and Browne got the hits when they were needed. And herein lies the difference between champions and second raters. But it was a good game of ball, very last. hot from the very first inning After two were out in the first inning Bowerman hit hard to left. to the Shannon ran in, tried for the catch, was short and the ball got through him to the fence.

Travers of the Nassau County Club, is the new champion of the Metropol- itan Golf Association. In the 36-hole final round at St. Andrew's today Travers defeated E. M. Byers of the Home (Bub “y 3 up and 1 to play. At the end of the morning round Travers stood 2 down, and although he had been a decided favorite at the start many in the gallery swung round and hastened to back the man from Pittsburg. Without doubt the match was pro- ductive of the best golf ever seen in a championship hereabouts, and the win was immensely popular, as the local golfers did not relish the idea of having the championship trophy go west. Although a resident of Pitts- burg Byers has for several years been a member of St. Andrews. The match itself was a heartbreak- er and a trying test on the nerves of Travers, who, after losing the first hole was down practically all the way. In fact he was never ahead until he had played 31 holes. In addition to a natural desire to win Travers had a double motive, as it made the third successive for a Nassau representa- tive and under the conditions the cup becomes the property of the club. Findlay S. Douglas won it on two previous occasions. _ ~e wr UNE HIT FOR SMITH t MA. GAMBLE}: Prep. School Boys Find Country Club Pitcher Hard to Bat. The Country Club baseball team chagrined by its defeat at the hands of the Christian Brother's College Players two weeks ago, presented a formidable line-up Saturday after- noon and defeated Smith Academy, the interscholastim league champions, 7 to 0. Clarence Gamble, the Country Club pitcher twirled phenomenal ball, but one hit, a single over short by Vin Campbell, being made during the game. When it is considered that Such hitters as Mansur, Conrad, Campbell and Bown were opposing him and that the field was soggy, the performance was a remarkable one, Jim, Joe and Arthur Wear shone re- Splendent for the Country Club and Captain Mansur, despite his two er- rors Campbell and Conrad were best for Smith.

Lett i) CRACK SCHOOLBOY DISTANCE RUNNER. DAVID STRA Uss. AEFUSE TO COMPETE AGAINST A NEGRO Students of McKinley High School Would Not Run Man of Color. Because the athletic directors of the Sparta High School at Sparta, Ill., yes- terday insisted that Glaeghorn, a negro student of the school should be allowed to compete in the dual meet with Mc- Kinley High School, the St. Louis boys withdrew all their entries in the sprints, broad jump, hop-skip and jump, hur- dles and bicycle races, events in which Glaeghorn was to compete. The insistence of the Sparta officials upon the negro contesting led to consid- erable ill-feeling and for a time it seemed that the meet would be broken up and that Coach Pike would with- draw his men. There were only eight events in which McKinley participated, but the St. Louis school captured six firsts and showed second in the others. Archie Loud, John- son, Krutzsch and Fenwick, the individ- ual] stars of the interscholastic, failed to make the trip to Sparta and saved themselves for next W ednesday. The boys who played taseba)] in the morning for McKinley practically com- posed the track team in the afternoon. Moser, after pitching winning ball, came second in the 440-yards dash. ood came in first, hav ~ run a pretty race. Dowell scor the greatest number of points, he winning three firsts. He displayed beautiful form in the high jump, clearing the bar at 5 feet 2 inches. Dowell could probably have raised this mark, but he was saving himself for the other numbers on the program. Springs, in spite of belng ilk put the 12-pound shot 46 feet 9 inches. A new record will undoubtedly be made by him next Wednesday. Hagin broke his own record of 112 feet in the hammer throw by hurling the missile 123 feet 6 inches. At the McKinley track meet his best effort amounted to only 112 feet. If he can improve 60 remarkably in so short a time, he must be considered a sure win- ner in the coming interscholastic meet. Andy Kerr covered the 880 yards in 2:13. very fast time considering the track. The summaries: 220 gee aa a” iggada won; Hood Time (Sperta), second et ae won; Moser (Mc- : won; McKelvy an #9 on Me-

RAVENS RUN IN MUCK OF MISPLAY » i, » RIOT

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, May 26.—Red Man Bender, decorated in war paint and at- tired in full war costume, twirled for the Athletics yesterday and defeated the Ravens, 3 to 2. But four hits were made off Bender. Only one single illu- minated the game to the eighth inning. Smith, McAleer’s young twirler, also pitched an excellent game. The Ameri- can League champions hit’ him safely but six times. The Ravens supported Smith in miser- able fashion, no less than eight errors being made behind him. Stone, Hemp- hill, Nordyke, Hartzell, Wallace and Spencer were the chief offenders, but the entire team participated in the riot of misplays. Philadelphia was the first to score. In the initial innings, after Hartsell had struck out, Armbruster slammed safely to left, pilfered second and took third on Spencer's miserable throw to catch him = stealing. When the sphereoid scampered through Hemphill’'s legs he walked home.

Sullivan stepped out to meet us and shake our hands we forgot everything but that we were on the ground at last and that the time had come to show the worlg what the Yankee boys can do. They Learn of San Francisco, Two minutes after leaving our car- riages we were told Sat San Francisco had been totally Gegtroyed by a fear- ful earthquake with a loss of 2Wv,vw lives. Sucely #& tas a day of sensa- tions! Thar night, after an official reception, the team was quartered in the Zap- peron. It was a great circular building tilled with litthe partitioned rooms. Two men slept in eacn room. Stiffened joints had been somewhat limbered up in the ‘“‘gymnasium”’ (a public athietic fleld near the stadium), and the team was ready for work. This Was a Nervous Time. It was with much anxiety that we turned out On April 2%. Mitchell was unable to compete. Hillman still limped. Parsons and Moulton telt weak trom their sickness, Others were out of con- dition still from the hardships of the long trip. lit was rumored that Eng- land’s team was a world-beater. Kirst thing in the morning came the discus throw from a circe. Martin Sheridan met Giorgantas, the Greek; Jaervinen, a huge Finn, who looked like the Faranese Hercules brought to life, and 30 others from nearly as many countries. The event was held in the gymnasium, not the Staidon. Sheridan’s first throw would have won, but with each effort he raised it a trifle. His last was best—about ‘136 feet. The Greek discus is a little lighter than ours. Giorgantas, the big Greek, had been counted a sure winner. Sheridan's first throw rattled him, and it was only by a desperate effort that Giogantas beat the Finn out for second place. The Greek was a poor sport. After winning Sheridan walked over to shake hands with him, and Giorgantas sullenly re- fused. Greek Soldier Waved Old Glory. This winning of the first event put heart into the team. There were no American flags at the gymnasium, but Mrs. Connolly handed a smal] one to a Greek soldier, who stepped out in front of the crowd and waved it to announce Sheridan's victory. The people packed along the walls nearly up to the temple of Jupiter Olympus near by cheered and x Oe ie pa Mn ges their hands. ociock the games be great Stadion. x ahead It was a spectacle ae to see. or hours solid columns of people been marching through the rhe at the city, all bound for the games.

Stadion, a huge hollow scooped in the hillside, had begun to fill shortly aiter noon. The Wonderful Stadion. And what a marvel that Stadion is. We have nothing in America that com- pares with it. Harvard’s Stadion on soldier's Field is a mere lean-to-a- shack beside it. Harvard’s Stadion might be erected in the middle of it anu hardly attract your notice. The Stadion is all white marble. There is an infield and a cinder track, then a marble wall, the marble walk wide as the sidewaik before the Pulit- zer Builaing; another wall, and then the terraced seats run up to the sky like a mountainside. The Stadion is horseshoe shaped. Hach row of seats around it is nearly haif a mile long. One day 1 climbed to the top row. and looked down. imagine standing at the top of the Pulitzer Building and gaz- ing below over tiers of seats, sloping to the base of the City Hall; starting again at the other side of that build- ing and slanting up to the roofs of the tallest buildings on Broadway, and you'll have an idea of the Stadion’s im- mensity. Above it on both sides the hiiis tower. ‘To the east the rocky slope runs up for a clear 2W yards. At 3 o’clock on this first momentous day (aS on each day alterwara) w,wvu people held seats in the Stadion. At least aS many more covered the ‘‘dead- head”’ hillsides. For miles the peasants and poorer people lined all roadways to see the athletes coming and _ going. Near the Stadion long liines of Greek soldiers guarded the wates with fixed bayonets and enforced orderly entrance and exit. Half a mile of soldiers with side arms sat shoulder to shoulder along thé Stadion’s uppermost wall to keep the hillside crowds back. Near starting time the King and Queen and royal family drove to the guarded gates and walked the length of the stadion to the royal seats in the curved end of it. The people took off their hats and clapped their hands as at the entrance of a favorite actor. Then the business of the day began in earnest. The first event was the 100-yard dash. In the original ar- rangement the Americans had al] been bunched to run against each other in the same heats, but after listening to a vigorous protest the officials shifted them into different trials. So when the heats were run off in rapid succession each man had a chance to win. First came little Hahn, dancing out ahead of his field like a racehorse, Then Eaton won his heat, and Moul- ton, and Schick and Robertson, It was ai procession. The American shield flashed over that finish line, each time leading a scattered rout of Hnglish, French, Greeks, Germans and whatnot, so often that it gave out a rainbow effect.

Pike Kenney, captain of the 1906 8t. Louis University football team, is au- thority for the statement that John C.

To Darling is due much of the success that Oklahoma has attained in her track and field events for the past three years. e is not only the champion allrouna athlete of the university, but some of the records made by him have never been surpassed by anyone in inter- scholastic competitions held in surround- states. e holds the gr ios | records: 100- Aap dash, 108.; 440-yard dash, 61 1-5s.; ae dash, 22s.; 2%-yard hurdle, 26 Prior to coming to Oklahoma Universi- ty Darling was a farmer boy, and had spent most of his life in hard and hon- est labor. He is short and sturdy, and although he weighs but 16 pounds, he is one mass of muscle. He is said to have contemplated going to Michigan, but has changed his mind and will be at St. Louis next year.

each victor, and the people took up the applause, shouting ‘‘Bravo!” and clapping their hands. Three Times for Stars and Stripes. Ray Ewry, Martin Shetidan and Robertson took all three places in the standing broad jump, shutting out nearly forty other competitors. It was the first American victory. And while we were cheering the an- nouncement three great American flags rose majestically to the tops of three high flagpoles on each side of the Stadion’s upper. wall. I never saw our banner more beautiful. We, who were not yet to compete, cheered in good American style until the hand-clapping foreigners looked at us in amazement. The slide had begun. Already we felt that America could not lose. In the standing broad Ewry ered 10 feet 10 inches; Sheridan, feet 2% inches; Robertson, 10 feet. The 800-meter run brought in more of our boys. Lightbody and Bacon played with their rivals, trotting in easily, one-two. Hellstrom, a Swede; Halswell, a Scot, took the next heat. Valentine was in poor shape and could do no better than third. Crabbe, England, won the third, Par- sons second. Then Paul Pilgrim, the as yet unde- veloped: ‘‘phenom”’ of the meet, ran in ahead, followed by Runge of Germany. The Swedes Pressed Us. The second day started less ciously. In the morning the Swedes won all three places in throwing ‘the javelin—a long, light pole with a sharp a point. That made Sweden's score 1 But the final of the hundred meters put us on top again, never to be head- ed. It was a grand race. The Greek starters didn’t know their business and every man in the final except Eaton beat the pistol. Eaton lost a couple of yards and couldn't make it up. Little Hahn, running so fast his legs looked like the spokes of a wheel, led easily. Barker, the swift Australian, was next, fighting it out flercely with Moulton, who covered the ound in giant strides. Hahn was a safe winner, laughing as he crossed the tape. Moul- ton, 20 yards from the finish, was a yard behing the Australian, but in a terrific sprint jumped a foot ahead at the line and took second. Time, 11 1-5s. Still there was more to come. The 400 meters was called. Out came our boys again, Hillman, Bacon, Moulton and Pilgrim, against Anderson (Scotland), Barker (Australia) and Halswell. Here came the surprise of the day. You remember that Paul Pilgrim of the cov- 10 auspi- N. Y. A. C. was only put on the team a day before we sailed. -

Well, Paul was a dark horse if ever there was one. The 400 meter started at a galloping pace. Pilgrim stayed in the bunch, Moulton led around the first turn by five yards and shot into the straight like a stake horse. At the second turn he was fighting it out with Halswell and Barker, the others at their heels. Moulton’s strength ebbed as they came to the finish. Halswell and Barker looked like one-two. But Pilgrim, with a sudden wonderful spurt, came to their shoulders. He kept right on. In another second he had passed the British runners as if they were standing still. With a clean two yards to spare he clipped across the fin- ish line like a shooting star. Then we yelled! It was the right time to yell. We were already counting. that race aS a British victory. We couldn't lose! Nothing could stop us now. Bonhag, who never walked a mile before in his life. was in the 1500 meter walk. There were enough starters to make an army corps. Most of them fran, and the judges weeded them out. Finally Bon- hag was in the lead and he won by many yards from McDonald, of Can- ada, and a Greek with an unpronounce- able name. America led with 63% points. Others nowhere! It was all over but the shouting and a few more events. On the last day, May 1, Ray Ewry started by winning the high jumps, 6 feet and 2 1-2 inches. Martin Sheridan Robertson and a Belgian named Leon tied for second. At the same time Sheridan was throw- ing the discus, Greek, style; running from one event to the other. In this Greek discus, Martin won easi- ly, but was ‘“‘touched.’’ Martin's first throw was the best of the day by many feet. The instant he left the pedestal Giorgantas, the Greek, who was sched- uled to win, jumped upon it and told the judges that Martin’s throw was not in the most graceful Greek form, saying that he should have swung his hand closer to his leg in straightening from the crouching position. But the judges allowed Giorgantas’ protest, Martin's throw was not measured. Glor tas then tried to throw in the style he had shown the judges and fell ten yards short of Sheridan's effort. Jaervinneau, the big Finn, threw far beyond Gliorgantas and was romptly disqualified. It was on the slate for the Greek to win. Thirty others fell short of Giorgantas’ throw, all using Sheridan's form, and their throws were measured. Sheridan was disqualified on the same pretext again. Giorgantas, shifting to Sheri- dan’s style, swinging his arm wide just as Sheridan does rest and about six or eight feet behind Martin's unallow throw.

Surprise for the Greeks. So when the throws were measured the Finn won, the Greek was second and Mudin of Hungary third. It was an awful shock to the crowd, which had counted upon a Greek for the discus and the Marathon. The winning throw was 115 feet. Sher- idan’s was about 120. This was a stand- ing throw from a pedestal. The 800 meters (half mile) was last, and America won. It was Paul Pil- grim again. Lightbody expected win. Few thought Paul figured at all, except for a possible place. Light- body,, Bacon, Parsons and Pilgrim were the Americans ifn the “final. Runge (Germany), Hellstrom (Sweden), Halswell (Scotland) and bbe (Eng- land) made up the field. Parsons took the lead and set a fear- ful pace. He was running with a great stride and looked a winner. But his Sickness told. His strength gave out after about 600 meters, and Halswell and Crabbe passed him. Lightbody and Pilgrim were.elose behind. Piigrim Cuts Ahead. But again came that surprising spurt of Pilgrim's. His long, thin legs oo pe through the air in enormous strides, he crept past Halswell. The Scot made a desperate effort, but could not hold him. Lightbody, two yards ahead, glanced back over his shoulder and then dug into the cinders again. Pil- grim, coming up swiftly, was at the Chicagoan’s shoulder, was beside him, slipped ahead, and with one last effort flung himself at the tape winner by nearly a yard. Halswell was third. There was still the Marathon race, greatest of all the world’s athletic events. Our boys, Frank, Spring, For- shaw, Foyler had gone to Marathon, a little town 26 miles from Athens, the night before.. Spencer, the swim- mer, went along to cook their meals and guard them during the night. They were quartered in bug-infested hovels, like all the other runners, and had little sleep. The Greeks were used to it. All the American athletes who were not competing in the Stadium went along on bicycles to patrol the road and help. Each runner had a member of the team on a bike to carry stimulants and look out for him on the road. For all those 26 miles roadway was lined with peoe. Thousands of cavalrymen patrolled the road to keep it clear for the runners. At times the crowd surged over the troops, fought and threw stones. Sabered Path for Ruaners.

PARKVIE This is the most béautiful, best located and best restricted fully improved residence subdivision in or around St. Louis. It is in direct line with the westward growth. of St. Louis and is intersected by Washington Avenue, Westminster Place, McPherson Avenue, Waterman Avenue and Berlin Avenue, the most desirable residence streets in the city. Within a stone’s throw to the southeast lies Forest Park, an inviting playground for the young and a delightful place of rest and recreation for the old. Immediately south is Washington University, with its imposing buildings and attractive grdunds. It is so close to both Forest Park and Washington University that every dollar expended in im- proving them will be an improvement to it, adding to the beauty of its surroundings, making it still more desirable as a place of residence, and enhancing the vaiue of its homes. Parkview is far enough out to give freedom from crowding, ample space for beautifying and adorning the grounds, the restful quiet of a country home and a fresh, pure, health-giving atmosphere, and yet is so near that one who lives thére may, at any time, walk two or three blocks, take a car, and within about thirty-five minutes, and at the cost of only one fare, be in the heart of the downtown district. The Delmar cars, the Olive street cars, the Suburban cars and the. cars running between the city and Clayton pass the grounds. There is no other fully improved restricted residence subdivision with such a location. Do not take our word for it. Look at the grounds. View the surroundings. Then you will select your lot. icCORMICK-KILGEN-RULE | You will never regret Office, Delmar 204 CENTURY BUILDING. N SALE FOUR BIG SUBDIVISION grounds.

i? - COMPLETE IN FOUR PARTS + - - rm a sper fr eT ae ‘ 2 ar - a ae I f ’ ry _ Synopsis of Foregoing Chapters. Aten Drummond, a British naval Lieuten- ant, has unconsciously caused trouble between England and Russia by firing on a seemingly deserted rock in the Baltic. Believing he can explain away the misunderstanding in person, he goes to Russia with his chum, Prince Ivan Lermontoff (known as Jack Lamont), a Sci- entist who has discovered how to melt stone, and who is also out of favor with the Czar’s Government. Alan loves Dorothy Ambhurst, a’ lovely American girl, whom he thinks is poor, but “who is’ really worth $15,000,000; - Ivan is en- gaged to Dorothy’s friend, Katherine Kempt, daughter of a retired United States navy Cap- tain. Through secret sources, Dorothy learns that Alan and Ivan have been spirited away to a Russian prison situated on the same Bal- tic rock on which Alan fired. Dorothy fits out a yacht as a cruiser and, with Capt. Kempt in command, she and Katherine sail to the rescue of their lovers. Just prior to this in- stalment of the story Lermontoff has arrived off the rock, is unaware of his destination or of the fate of his friend.

He stood still in the center of the cell, his: hands thrust deep ‘in the pockets ‘of his overcoat, and, in spite of this heavy. gar- ment, he shivered a little. “Tack, my boy,’ he muttered, “‘this is: a I can im- agine a man going crazy here, if it wasn’t for that stream. I never knew what darkness meant before. Well, let’s find out the size of * our kingdom.” He groped tor the wall, and stumbling against the’ stone bench, whose existence he had forgotten, pitched head forward to the table, and sent ‘the four-day loaf rolling on the floor. He made an ineffectual grasp after the loaf, fearing it might fall into the stream and be lost to him, but he could not find it, and now his designs for measuring the cell gave place to the desire of finding that loaf. He got down on his hands and knees, and felt the stone floor inch by inch for half an hour, as he estimated the time, but never once did he touch the bread. ‘How helpless a man is in the dark, after all,” he muttered to himself. “I must: do this systematically, beginning at the edge of the stream.” On all fours he reached the margin of the rivulet and felt his way along the brink till his head struck the opposite wall. He turned round. took up a position that he guessed was three feet nearer the door, and again trav- ersed the room, becoming so eager:in the search that he forgot for the moment the horror of his situation, just as, when engaged in a chemical experiment, everything else vanished from his mind, and thus after sev- eral journeys back and forth he was again reminded of the existence of the stone bench by butting against it when he knew he was still several feet from the wall. Rubbing his head. he muttered some unfavorable phrases regarding the immovable bench, then crawled round it twice, and resumed ‘his transverse excursions. At last he reached the wall that held the door, and now with breathless eager- ness rubbed his shoulder against it till he had came to the opposite corner. He knew he had touched with knees and hands practically every square inch of space in the floor, and yet no bread. “Now, that’s disaster,” cried he, getting up on his feet, and stretching himself. “Still, a man doesn’t starve in four days. I’ve cast my bread on the waters. It has evidently gone down the stream. Now, what's to hinder a man escaping by means of that watercourse? Still, if he did, what would be the use? He’d float out into the Baltic Sea, and if able to swim round the rock, would merely be compelled to knock at the front door and beg admission again. No, by Jove, there’s the boat, but they probably guard it night and day, and a man in the water would have no chance against one in the boat. Per- haps there’s gratings between the cells. Of course, there’s bound to be. No one would leave the bed of the stream clear for anyone to navigate. Prisoners would visit each other in their cells, and that’s not allowed in any respectable prison. I wonder if there’s any- one next door on either side of me. An iron grid won’t keep out the sound. I'll try,” and going again to the margin of the watercourse, he shouted several times as loudly as he could, but only a sepulchral echo, as if“from a vault, replied to him. “I imagine the adjoining cells are empty. No enjoyable companionship to be expected here. I wonder if they’ve got the other poor devils up from the steamer yet. I'll sit down on the bench and listen. He could have fountl the bench and shelf almost immediately by groping round the wall, but he determined to exercise his sense of direction, to pit himself against the dark- ' Ress, “I need not hurry,” he said, “I may be a long time here.” In his mind he had a picture of the cell, but now that he listened to the water it seemed to have changed its direction, and he found he had to rearrange this mental picture, and make a different set of calculations to fit the new position. Then he shuffled slowly for- ward with hands outstretched, but he came to the wall, and not to the bench. Again he mapped out his route, again endeavored, and again failed. ‘his is bewildering,” he muttered. “How the darkness baffles a man. For the first time in my life I appreciate to the full the benedic- tion of God’s command, ‘Let there be light.’ ” He stood perplexed for a few moments, ana, deeply thinking, his hands automatically performed an operation as the servants of habit. They took from his pocket his cigar- ette case, selected a tube of tobacco, placed it between his lips, searched another pocket, brought out a matchbox and struck a light. The striking of the match startled Lermon- toff as if it had been an explosion; then he laughed, holding the match above his head, and there at his feet saw the loaf of black bread. It seemed as if somebody had twisted the room end for end. The door was where he thought the stream was, and thus he learned that sound gives no indication of di- rection to a man blindfolded. The match be- gan to wane, and feverishly he lit his cigar- cttes “Why didn’t I think of the matches, and ph! what a pity I failed to fill my pockets with them that night of the professor’s dinner party! To think that matches are selling at this moment in Sweden 250 for a half-penay! Guided by the spark at the end of his cigar- cite, he sought the bench and sat down upon it. He was surprised to find himself sq little depressed as was actually the case.’ He did not feel in the least disheartened. Something was going to happen on his behalf; of that he was quite certain.’ It was perfectly ridicu- lous that even in Russia a loyal subtect, who had never done any illegal act in his life, a nobleman of the empire, and a friend of the Czar should be incarcerated for long without trial, and even without accusation. He had no enemies that he knew of, and many friends, and. yet he experienced a vague uneasiness when he remembered that his own course of” life had been such that he would not be missed by his friends.

A FELLOW SCIENTIST. dozed into a kind of semi-stupor, from whieh he awoke with a start now and then, as he thought he heard again the mingled cries of devo- _ tion and malediction. At last he slept soundly, and _. awoke refreshed, but hungry. The loaf lay beside him, and with his knife he cut slices from it, munch- ing the coarse bread with more of relish than he had thought possible when he first saw it. Then he took out another cigarette, struck a match, looked at his watch, and lit the cigarette. It was 10 min- utes past 2. He wondered if a night had inter- vened, but thought it unlikely. He had landed very early in the morning, and now it was afternoon. He was fearfully thirsty, but could not bring himself to drink from that stream of death. Once more he heard the bolts shot back. : “They are going to throw the poor wretches into the sea,” he muttered, but the yellow gleam of a lantern showed him it was his own door that had been unlocked. “You are to see the Governor,” said the jailer, gruffily. “Come with me.” Jack sprang to the floor of his cell, repressing a cry of delight. Nothing the grim Governor could do to him would make his situation any worse, and perhaps his persuasive powers upon that official might result in some amelioration of his position. In any case there was the brief respite of the inter- view, and. he would gladly have chummed with the devil himself to be free a few moments from this black pit. Although the outside door of the Governor’s room ‘stood open, the room was not as well illumined as it had been before, for the sun had now gone round to the other side of the island, but to the prisoner’s aching eyes it seemed a chamber of refulgence. The Same lamp was burning on the table, giving forth an odor of bad oil, but in addition to this, two candles were lighted, which supplemented in some slight measure the efforts of the lamp. At the end of the table lay a number of documents under a paper- weight, arranged with the neat precision of a method- ical man. The Governor had been warming his hands over the brazier, but ceased when Lermontoff was brought up standing before him. He lifted the paper- weight, took from under it the two letters which Lermontoff had given to the steward on the steam- er, and handed them to the prisoner, who thus re- ceived them back for the second time. : “] wish to say,” remarked the Governer, with an air of bored indifference which was evidently quite genuine, “that if you make any further attempt to communicate with the authorities, or with friends, you will bring on yourself punishment which will be iy THIS position Jack slept off and on, or rather, unpleasant.” “As a subject of the Czar, | have the right to ap- peal to him,” said the Prince. “The appeal you have written here,” replied the “would have proved useless, even if it had been delivered. The Czar knows nothing of the Trogzmondoff, which is a stronghold entirely under the control of the grand dukes and of the navy. The Trogzmondoff never gives up a prisoner,” “Then I am here for a lifetime?” “Yes,” rejoined the Governor, with frigid calm- ness, “and if you give me no trouble you will save yourself some inconvenience.” “Do you speak French?” asked the Prince. ret.” “English ?”’ “Net.” “Italian?” *Net.” “German?” rae.” “Then,” continued Lermontoff in German, “I de- sire to say a few words to you which’ I don’t wish this jailer to understand. I am Prince Ivan Lermon- toff, a personal friend of the Czar’s, who, after all, is master of the grand dukes and the navy also. If you will help to put me into communication with him, J will guarantee that no harm comes to yon, and furthermore will make you a rich man.” The Governor slowly shook his head. “What you ask is impossible. Riches are nothing to me. Bribery may do much in other parts of the Governor, et empire, but it is powerless in the Trogzmondoff. 1 ' Shall die in the room adjoining this, as my prede- cessor died. I am quite as much a prisoner in the .. Trogrmondoff as is your Highness. No man who has once set foot in this room, either as Governor, employee, or prisoner, is allowed to see the main- land again, and thus the secret has been well kept. We have had many prisoners of equal rank with your Highness, friends of the Czar, too, I dare say, but they all died on the Rock and were buried in - the Baltic.” | _ “May I not be permitted to receive certain supplies _ if I pay for them? That is allowed in other pris. ae ons.” The Governor shook his head. “I can let you have a blanket,” he said, “and a pillow, or a sheepskin if you find it cold at first, but my power here is very limited, and, as 1 tel! you, the officers have little more comfort than the pris- -ohers.” _ “Oh, I don’t care anything about comfort,” pro- tested Lermontoff. “What 1 want is some scientific apparatus. I am a student of science. I have noth- ing to do with polities, and have never been impli- ‘ated in any plot. Someone in authority has made a stuyid mistake, and so | am here. This mistake I am quite certain will be discovered and remedied. I hold no malice, and will say nothing of the place once | am free, It is no business of mine. But | do not wish to have the intervening time wasted. 1 should like to buy some electrical machinery and materials, for which I am willing to pay any price bat is asked.” =~ \“Do you understand electricity?” questioned the Governor, and for the first time his impassive face showed a glimmer of interest. “Do I understand electricity? bar 1 have been chief electrician on a warship,” “Perhaps then,” said the Governor, relapsing into ussian again, “you can tell me what is wrong with r dynamo here in the Rock. After repeated requi- mm they sent machinery for lighting our officer Why, for over c but forwarded instead some books of instruction. 1! have been working at it for two years and a half, but I am still using oil lamps and candles. We wired the place without difficulty.” He held up the candle and showed, depending from the ceiling, a chandelier of electric lamps which Lermontoff had not hitherto noticed, various brackets, and one or two stand lamps in a corner, with green silk-covered wire at- tached. “May I see your dynamo?” asked Lermontoff. The Governor, with one final warming of his hands, took up a candle, told the jailer to remove the shade from the lamp and bring it, led the way along a passage, and then into a room where the prisoner, on first entering, liad heard the roar of water. “What's this you have! you any power?” “Oh, it gives power enough,” said the Governor. “Let's see how you turn on the stream.” The Governor set the turbine at work, and the dynamo began to hum, a sound which, to the edu- cated ear of Lermontoff, told him several! things. “That’s all right, Governor, turn it off. This is A turbine? Does it give a somewhat old-fashioned dynamo, but it ought to — give you all the light you can use. You must be a natural born electrician, or you never could have got this machinery working as well as it does.” The dull eyes of the Governor glowed for one brief. moment, then resumed their customary expression of saddened tiredness. “Now,” said Jack, throwing off his coat, “I want a wrench, a screwdriver, hammer and a pair of pincers if you’ve got them.” “Here is the tool chest,” said the Governor, and Jack found all he needed. Bidding the Governor hold the candle here, there and elsewhere, and order- ing the jailer about as if he were an apprentice, Jack set energetically to work, and for half an hour no one spoke. “Turn on that water again,” he commanded. The Governor did so, and the machine whirred with quite a different note. Half a dozen electric lamps in the room flooded the place with a dazzling white glow. “There you are,” cried Jack, rubbing the oil off his hands on a piece of coarse sacking. “Now, Tom- my, put these things back in the tool chest,” he said to the jailer. Then to the Governor: “Let’s see how things look in the big room.” The passage was lit, and the Governor’s room showed every mark on wall, ceiling and floor. , “I told you, Governor,’ said Jack with a laugh, “that I didn’t know why I was sent here, but now I understand. Providence took pity on you and or- dered me to strike a light. At that moment the jailer entered with his jingling keys, an® the enthusiastic expression faded from the Governor’s face, leaving it once more coldly im- passive, but he spoke in German instead of Russian. “I am very much indebted to your Highness, and it grieves me that our relationship remains un- changed.” “Qh, that’s all right,” eried Lermontoff, “If it is within your power to allow me to come and give you some lessons in electricity and the care of dynamos, I I shall be very glad to do so.” To this offer the Governor made no reply, but he went on still in German. “I shall transfer you to cell No. l, hich is not only more comfortable, but the water there is pure. Did you say you spoke English?” “Yes, quite as well as I do Russian.” The Governor continued, with neverthelers a lit- tle hesitation: “On the return of the steamer there will be an English prisoner, I will give him cell No. 2, and if you don’t talk so loud that the jailer hears you, it may perhaps make the day less wearisome.” “You are very kind,” said Jack, rigidly suppress- ing any trace of either emotion or interest as he heard the intelligence; leaping at once to certain con- clusions, nevertheless. “I shan’t ask for dnything more, much as I should like to mention candles, matches and tobacco.” “It is possible you may find all three in Ne. 1 be- fore this time tomorrow;” then in Russian the Gov- ernor said to the jailer: “See if No. 1 is ready. The jailer departed, and the GOvernor, “throwing open a drawer in his table, took out two candles, a box of matches and a packet of cigarettes. “Put these in your pocket,” he said. “The cell door opens very slowly, so you will always know when the jailer is coming. In that case blow out your light and conceal your candle. It will last the longer.” The jailer returned. “The cell is ready, Excellency,” he said. “Take away the prisoner,” commanded the ernor, gruffiy. breezily. Gov- Chapter XVIII. CELL NO 1. improvement on shelf of rock in the ELL No. 1 was a_ great No. 9. There was no or stone bench, but a cot bed a table and a wooden chair. The liv- ing spring issued from a living rock in & corner of the room. When the jailer and his assis} ant had retired and shoved the outside bolts, Jack lit his candle gnd a cigarette, feeling almost happy. He surveyed the premises now with more care. ‘The bed was of iron and fastened to the floor. On the top of it was a mattress, a pillow and a pair of blankets. At ite head a little triangular shelf of rock had beer left in the corner, and on this reposed a basin of tin, while @ coarse piece of sacking took the place of a towel. Jack threw off his overcoat and flung it on the bed, intent on a satisfactory wash. He heard something jingle in the pockets, and forgetting for the moment what it could possibly be, thrust his hand in, and pulled out a glass-stop- pered bottle of osak. He held it out at arm’s length and stared at it for some moments like a man hyp- notized. 1 “Holy Saint Peter!” he cried, should have forgotten this!” He filled the tin basin with water, and placed it on the table. Again he dissolved a minute portion of the chemical, and again filled the syringe. “I wust leave no marks on the wall that may arouse attention,” he said, and taking the full syringe to the arch over the torrent, and placing the candle on the floor beside him, he gently pushed in the piston. The spray struck the rock, and the rock dissolved slightly but perceptibly. Coming back to o corner, “to think that I tne table he stood for a few minutes in deep thought. Although the cot bed was fixed to the floor, and al- though it was possible that the shelf in the next cell coincided with its position, the risk of discovery was too great to cut a passage between, the two cells there. The obvious spot to attack was the in- terior of the tunnel through which the streamlet ran, but Jack, testing the temperature of the water with his hand, doubted his physical ability to remain in that ice-cold current more than a few minutes at a time, and if he worked in the tunnel he would be all but submerged. He feared he would perish with cold and cramp before he had made any impression on the rock. "To the edge of the stream he drew the table, and, mounting it, examined the upper orifice, through which the water escaped when the cell was full. He found he could stand on the table and work in comfort until he had excavated sufficient rock to allow him to clamber into the upper tunnel and so “ > ter , ~~ \> + "= , . - * > * 7 * 7 . y eo hee Yeh od - | > SH ‘ 7 i . ‘ ing, working hard until after midnight. His progress was deplorably slow, and the spraying of the rock proved about as tiring a task as ever he had under- taken. His second basinfyl of solution was made a little stronger, but without perceptible improve- ment in its effect. On ceasing operations for the night he found himself in a situation common to few prisoners, that of being embarrassed with riches. He possessed two basins, and one of them must be con- cealed. Of course, he might leave his working basin in the upper tunnel, where it had rested when the jailér had brought in his supper, but he realized that at any moment the lantern’s rays might strike its shining surface, and so bring on an investigation of the upper tunnel, certain to prove the destruction of shis whole scheme. A few minutes’ thought, how- ever, solved the problem admirably. He placed the basin face downwards in the rapid stream which swept it to the iron bars between the two cells, and there it lay quite concealed, with the swift water eo” "ty s'> 5 Aa ta Sal > ‘Holding the match above his head he saw the loaf of black bread.”’ continue his operations. The water he used would flow through the tunnel and down to the main stream in the next cell. All he had to do was to dissolve a semi-circular hole in the rock that would bend round the end of those steel bars and enter the tunnel again on the other side. Eager to be at work, he took the full basin, shoved it far along the tunnel until it was stopped by the bars, then, placing his candle beside it, and standing on the table he began operations. The limestone, under the influence of the spray, dissolved very slowly, and by the time the basin of water was exhausted, all the effect visible under the light of the candle was an exceedingly slight circular impression which was barely visible to the naked eye. “I must make the solution stronger, I think,” he said, grievously disappointed at the outcome of his labors, and as he looked at it he heard the clank of the withdrawing bolts. Blowing out the candle he sprang to the floor of the cell, picked up the table, set it down in the center of the room, groped for the chair and sat down, his heart palpitafing wildly at the fear of discovery. Followed as usual by the man with the lantern, the jailer came in, carrying aybow! of hot steaming soup, Which he placed on the table, then he took from his pocket a spoon, a small hunk of black bread and a piece of cheese. In the light of the lantern Lermontoff consulted his watch and found it was 6 o’clock. The jailer took the lantern from his assistant, held it high and looked round the room, while Lermontoff gazed at him in anxiety, wonder- ing whether that brutal-looking official suspected anything. Apparently he did not, but merely wished to satisfy himself that everything was in order, for he said, more mildly than he had hitherto spoken: “It is a lony time since anyone occupied this cell.” Then his eye rested on the vacant corner shelf. “Ah, Excellency,” he continued, “pardon me, 1 I must bring yeu a basin.” a candle,” said have forgotten. “I'd rather you brought me Ler- montoff nonchalantly, although his lips were dry, and he moistened them as he spoke; then, to learn whether money was valueless on the rock, as the Governor had intimated, he drew from his pocket one of the remaining gold pieces, glad that he happened to have so many, and slipped it into the palm of the jailer’s hand, whose fingers clutched it as ea- gerly as if he were in St, Petersburg. “I think a candle can be managed, Shall I bring a cup?” “I wish you would.” The door was again locked and bolted, but be Excellency. fore Lermontoff had finished his soup and bread and | jailer placed a cheese, it was opened again. The on the ledge, tin basin, similar to the former one, put a candle and a candlestick on the table and a tin cup beside them. “I thought there was no part of Russia bribery was extinct,” said the Prince to himself, as the door closed again for the night. After supper Lermontoff again shifted his table, stood upon it, lit his candle, and resunied his tunnel. where FICTION LIBRARY SECTION—SUNDAY POST-DISPATCB—MAY 2 rippling over it, This done, he flung off his clothes, and got into bdd, not awakening until the jailer and his assistant brought in bread, cheese and coffee for breakfast. : The next day he began to feel the inconvenienees of the Governor’s friendship, and wished he were back to the time when one loaf lasted tour days, for if such were case, he would be free of the constant state of tension which the ever- recurring visits of the jailer caused. He feared that some day he might become so absorbed in his occu- pation that he would not hear the withdrawing of the bolt, as it were, be cagighg in the act. Shortly after lunch the Governor sent for him, and asked many questions pertaining to the run- ning of the dynamo. Lermontoff concealed his im- about his instructions with ex- emplary earnestness. Russian textbooks on elec- at hand were of the most rudimentary de- and although the Governor could epeak safely now the and thus, patience and set tricity scription, possessed in that language were closed to him. Therefore John was compelled to begin at the very A BC of the science. The Governor, however, became so deeply inter- ested that he momentarily forgot his caution, un- locked a door and took Lermontoff into a reom which he saw was the armory and ammunition storehouse of the prisor, On the floor of this chamber the Governor point out a large battery of accumulators, and asked what they were for. Lermontoff explained the purposes of the battery, meanwhile examining it thoroughly, and finding that many of the cells had been all but ruined in transit through the falling away of the composition in the grids, Something like half of the accumulators, however, were intact and workable; these he uncoupled and brought into the dynamo room,, where he showed the Governor the process of charging. He saw in the storeroom a box containing incandescent lamps, coils of silk- covered wire and other material that made his eyes glisten with delight. He spoke in German. “If you will give me a coil of this wire, one or two of the lamps, and an accumulator, or, indeed, half a dozen of them, I will trouble you no more for can- dles.” The Governor did not reply at the moment, but a short time after asked Lermontoff in Russian how long it would be before the accumulators were charged. Lermontoff stated the time, and the Gov- ernor told the jailer to bring the prisoner from the cell at that hour, and so dismissed his instructor. One feature of this interview which pleased Ler- montoff was that however much the Governor be- came absorbed in these lessons, he never allowed himself to remain alone with his prisoner. It was evident that in his cooler moments the Governor had instructed the jailer and his assistants to keep ever at the heels of the Prince and always on the alert, Two huge revolvers were thrust under the belt of the jailer and the lantern holder was sim- ilarly armed. Lermontof{ was pleased with this, for if the Governor had trusted him entirely, even though he demanded no verbal parole, it would have gone against his grain to strike down the chief, as he ruthlessly intended to do when the time was ripe for it, and in any case, he told himself, no matter how friendly the Governor might be, he had the mis- fortune to stand between his prisoner and liberty. Lermontoff was again taken from his cell about half an hour before the time he had named for the completion of the charging, and although the Gover- nor said nothing of his intention, the jailer and his man brought to the cell six charged batteries, a coil of wire and a dozen lamps. Lermontoff now changed his working methods. He began each night as soon as he had finished dinner, and worked till nearly morning, sleeping all day, except when interrupted by the jailer. Jack, following the example of Rob- inson Crusoe, attempted to tie knots on the tail of time by cutting notches with his knife on the leg of the table, but most days he forgot to perform this operation, and so his wooden almanac fell hopelessly out of gear. He estimated that he had been a little more than a week in prison when he heard by the clang of the bolts that the next cell was to have an occupant. “I must prepare a welcome for him,” he said, and so turned out the electric light at the end of the long flexible wire. He had arranged a neat little switch of the accumulator, and so snapped the light on and off at his pleasure, without the trouble of unscrew- ing the nuts which held in place one of the copper ends of the wire. Going to the edge of the stream and lighting his candle, he placed the glass bulb in the current, paid out the flexible line attached to it, and allowed the bulb to run the rigk of being smashed against the iron bars of the passage, but the little globe negotiated the rapids without even a perceptible clink, and came to rest in the bed of the torrent somewhere about the center of the next cell, tugging like a fish on a hook. Then Jack mounted the table, leaned into the upper tunnel, and listened, “I protest,” Drummond cried, speaking loudly, as if the volume of sound would convey meaning to alien ears, “I protest against this as an outrage, and demand my right of commu cation with the British Ambassador.” Jack heard the jailer growl: “This loaf of bread will last you for four days,” but as this statement was made in Russian, it conveyed no more meaning to the Englishman than had his own protest of a mo- ment before brought intelligence to the jailer. The door clanged shut and there followed a dead silence. _ “Now we ought to hear some good old British » from the me and hold it alott; then ares a where you are.

Without being given time even to dress I was hurried out into the bitter night air. On my way to the prison I saw several batches of prisoners from all parts of the town going in the same direction, escorted by mounted police and Cossacks, “The forty odd prisoners who made up the police- men’s bag for the night comprised men and women of every age, all shivering in the keen, frosty air, and also a few boys and girls ‘from about 12 to 14 years of age. “When all the police forays had given up their parties of victims we were driven at 5 o’cleck in the morning into a cell about 10 feet by 15 feet, which was already occupied by a number of prisoners lying on the floor, pellmell. Their reception consist- ed in an outburst of curses because we came to rob them of what little space and comfort they had al- ; read¢. “Obeying the orders of the gendarmes on duty, we tried to lie down, one beside another, There was not space enough for all of us to do so, though we were packed together like sardines.

Our way lay between two rows of soldiers, who some 7. 1906, rained blows in every direction. on our way back. “By this time the women and children were seream- ing with pain, while we men clenched our teeth in the determination to seize the first opportunity of getting our own back. Some time later breakfast was brought in—bread and water—but only enough for the first 52 prisoners. Dinner, which consisted of ce’ ages in a putrefying condition, was also only sérved out to them. “_ “Protests were rewarded with blows, the speak- ers being dragged out of the cell and cruelly knout- ed. At supper time we received at last some water to quench our burning thirst. No food for us, the sec- ond batch of prisoners, till the second day, and then only a meager allowance of execrable quality. “Every morning we had to ryn the gauntlet, and if any noise was made day or night the prisoners nearest the door, whether innocent or not, were dragged out and usually came back with their shoul- ders torn open. “Our sufferings increased day by day as we felt more and more the lack of fresh air and the want of rest. A number of the women and five of the chil- dren fell ill, but of course were not removed from the cell. Their continual cries of distress nearly drove us mad, but there was no way out of it, the prisoners being practically surrounded by soldiers. “The same hideous stete of affaires prevailed in all the numerous cells of the building, from the roof down to the dungeons. “On New Year's Day (Jan. 13), when our suffering had become unbearable, we broke oper: the door of our cell while most of the i. were @Way ~ray- ing for the Czar in the prison chapel.

If I dared wrench off a table leg, I could perhaps shove bottle and syringe through to you from here, but the material would come to a dead center of this tunnel, unless I had a stick to push it within your reach. “Very well; we'll work away until our excavation connects, and we have made it of sufficient diameter for you to squeeze through.

You must be very careful not to close the door, because if you once shove it shut we can’t open it from this side, even though it is unlocked and the bolts drawn. It fits like wax, and almost hermetically seals the room. You spring forward and deal the jailer with your fist one of your justly celebrated English knockdown blows, immediately after felling the man with the lantern. Knowing something of the’ weight of your blow, I take it that neither of the two men will recover conseious- ness until we have taken off their outer garments, secured revolvers and keys. Then we lock them in, you and I on the outside.” “My dear Jack, we don’t need any tunnel to ac- complish that, The first time these: two men come into my room, I can knock them down as easily here as there.” “4 thought of that, and perhaps you could, but you must remember we have only one shot.

I have started his dynamo work- ing and have wired such portions of the place as were not already wired before. During these lessons | have kept my eyes open. So far as the prison is eoncerned, there is the Governor, a sort of head clerk, the jailer and his assistant; four men, and that is all. The jailer’s assistant appears to be the cook of the place, although the cooking doné is of the most limited description. The black bread is brought from St. Petersburg, I think, as also tinned meat and soup; so the cuisine is on a somewhat lim- ited scale.” “Do you mean to say that only these four men are in charge of the prison?” “Practically so, but there is the garrison as well. The soldiers live in a suite of rooms directly above us, and ag near as I can form an opinion, there are 14 men and two officers. When a steamer arrives they draft as many soldiers as are necessary, un- load the boat; then the Tommies go upstairs again. The military section apparently holds little inter- ouree with the officials, whom they look upon as jailers. 1 should judge that the military officer is chief of the rock, because when he found the Gover- nor’s room lit by electricity, he demanded, the same for his quarters. That’s how I came to get upstairs. Now, these stairs are hewn in the rock, are circular, guarded by heavy oaken doors top and bottom, an: these doors possess steel bolts on both sides of them. It is thus possible for either the military authori- ties upstairs, or the civil authorities, to isolate themselves from the others. In case of a revolt among the soldiers, the Governor could bolt them into their attic, and they would find great difficulty in getting out. Now, my plan of procedure is this: We will disarm the jailer and assistant, take their keys, outside garments and caps. The jailer’s tog- gery will fit you, and the other fellow’s may do for me. Then we will lock them in here, and if we meet clerk or Governor in the passages we will have time to overcome either or both before they are aware of the change. I'll go up the circular stair, bolt from the inside the upper door, and afterwards bolt the lower door. Then we open all the cells and release the other prisoners, descend from the rock, get into the Finnish fishing boat, keep clear of the - two cannon that are up above us, and.sail for the Swedish coast. We can’t miss it; we have only to travel west, and ultimately we are safe. There is only ‘one danger, which is that we may make our _attempt when the steamer is here, but we must chance that.” “Isn't there any way of finding out? Couldn’t you pump. the Governor?” “He is always very much on his guard, and is a taciturn man. The moment the tunnel is finished I shall question him about some further electrical! material, and ese perhaps I may get a hint about the steamer. I imagine she comes irregularly, so the only sate ss would be for us to make our at-

Now -that they have their electric light they spend their time playing cards and drinking vodka.” “Very -well, Jack, this scheme seems reasonnbly feasible. Now, get through your material to we, and issue your instructions.” Chapter XIX. “STONE WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE.” pert at the rock dissolving as was his friend. He called it piffling slow work, but was never- theless extremely industrious at it, although days and weeks and, as they suspected, months passed before the hands of the two friends met.in the center of the rock. One lucky circumstance that favored them was the habit of the jailer in visiting Drum- mond only once every four days. — The Lieutenant made his difficult passage, squeez- ing through the newly completed tunnel half an hour after a loaf had been set upon his table. Jack knew that the steamer had recently departed, because, two days before, the Governor had sent for him, and had exhibited a quantity of materia] recently land- ed, among other things a number of electric bells and telephones which the Governor was going to have set up between himself and the officers, and also be- tween his room and that of the clerk and jailer. There were dry batteries and primary batteries, and many odds and ends which made Jack almost sorry he was leaving the place. Heavy steps, muffled by the thickness of the door, sounded along the outer passage. “Ready?” whispered Jack. “Here they come. Re- member, if you miss your first blow, we’re goners, you and I.” Drummond made no reply, for the steps had come perilously near and he feared to be heard. Nois- lessly he crossed the cell and took up his position against the wall, just clear of the space that would be covered by the opening of the door. At the same moment Jack switched off the light, leaving the room black. Each of the two waiting prisoners could hear the other’s short breath through the darkness. On came the shuffling footsteps of the jailer and lantern bearer. They had reached the door of No. 1, had paused, had passed on and stopped in front of -No. 2. “Your cell!” whispered Jack, panic stricken. “And they weren’t due to look in on you for four days. It’s all up! They'll discover the cell is empty and give the———- Where are you going, man?” he broke off, as Drummond, leaving his place near the door, groped his way hurriedly along the wall. “To squeeze my way back and make a fight for it. It’s better than” “Wait!” Lamont’s hand was on his shoulder, and he whis- pered a sharp command for silence. The two attend- ants had halted in front of No. 2, and while the |* A VERY short time Drummond became as ex- ‘Tne’ triends had vounted on both men entet.ng the room together and crossing as usual to the table. This change of plan disconcerted them. Already the jailer had set down his tray and was turning toward the door. Alan, helpless, stood impotently in the shadow, biting his blond mustache with help- less rage. In another second their cherished oppor- tunity would vanish. And, as the jailer’s next visit was to be to No. 2, discovery stared them in the eyes. It was Jack who broke the momentary spell of apathy. He was standing at the far end of the cell, near the stream. “Here!” he called sharply to the lantern bearer, “bring your light. My electric apparatus is out of order, and I’ve mislaid my matches.

The great door of No. 1 swung ponderously inward. The lantern bearer, holding his light high in front of him, entered; then stepped to one side to admit the jailer, who came close after, the tray of food in his outstretched hands. : Unluckily for the captives’ plan, it was to the side of the cell opposite to that where Alan crouched that the lantern bearer had taken his stand. There was no way of reaching him at a bound. The open door stood between.

To that luckiest of mishaps, the failure of a de- fective cartridge to explode, the friends owed their momentary safety. As Alan pitched forward, one of his outflung arms struck against an obstacle. It was a human figure, and from the feel of the leather straps, which his fingers touched in the impact, he knew it was the jailer and not Lamont.

Then from the corner of his eye, he spied Alan crouching in the angle behind the door, now fully exposed to the rays of the lantern. The man whirled about in alarm just as Alan sprang. In consequence the Englishman’s mighty fist whizzed passed his head, missing it by a full inch. The jailer, recovering from his amaze, whipped out one of the revolvers he wore in his belt. But Jack, leaping forward, knocked it from his hand before he could fire; and, with one hand clapped across the fellow’s bearded lips, wound his other arm about the stalwart body so as to prevent for the instant the drawing of the second pistol.

IS CORRESPONDENT in the Yellowstbe 1e ~Na- tional Park gives a most interesting and true tale of the adventures of a bull elk, whick is full of ludicrous incidents. For 24 hours the snow had fallen at Mammoth, and at 5 o’clock on the evening in question fully three feet covered the formation. Robert Edgar, bet- ter known to the whites as Geyser Bob, and to the Indians as Posintonka (Big Nose), was forced to make his bi-daily trip with the snow plow, and as he swung around the Cottage Hotel on the night run of his pathfinder he espied a large bull elk coming over the brow of the hill. Here was a chance to square up for all the trécks of the Cottage gang, which was given to using Gey- ser as a butt of not a few jokes. Forgetting the dignity becoming a Government employe, he hurried to the stable, procured an armful of hay and returned just as the elk reached the foot of the hill, and cast the hay in front of the front door of the hotel. The elk, not too proud to tickle his throat with Government dry grass, fell to. It was now 5:30, and three of Uncle Sam’s trained and tried Philippine heroes came over to chat and spend an hour. As they approached the elk he tossed his 12 points, took a few steps forward and the soldiers, seeing that he meant business, fmmediately made for the bar- GUIDE |S packs, it at once becoming a point of interest. Assistant Superintendent Joseph De Bar came for dinner. For 10 years Joe had not gone off a walk. He struggled along through the snow, head down, ey atap Providence bade him look up. He obeyed Providence, and not 20 feet in front of him the elk was making ready-to charge. Joe charged first. Mad- ly he plowed through the snow, made a hundred-yard dash and reached the back door. Pryor advanced the theory that the elk wanted water. Manager Campbell of the Cottage volun- teered to serve it, and rushed the jean to the edge of the porch. The elk disdained water and charged onto the porch. Campbell retreated in bad order, stumbled and fell. The crowd inside hurried away, leaving Campbell alone. Finding himself on his knees, Campbell uttered a prayer, to which heaven re=pond- ed. The elk fell over the pail. Instantly both were up and off together. The elk reached Campbell! just in time to get two prongs into his leg. Campbell! threw himself against the door. It gave in and he was saved. No more attempts were made by civil- ians to pacify the elk. In response to a hurry-up call to Fort Yellow- stone, a detachment of five soldiers arrived via the detour and entered the Cottage through the back door. Huntley Child and G. Roger Pryor followed in Joe’s wake, and it is doubtful if even when younger they exceeded the speed record set by De Bar. When Old John, the watchman, came Joe was on the porch to give directions. “Come right along, John, I'll keep him busy.” With that Joe stepped forth, armed with: bottles, stovewood and pieces of coal. The second throw landed, and the elk, en- raged, sprang forward.. Joe, for the second time in 10 years exceeding a walk, sprang for the door. i “IMPRISONED BY A BIG ELK Old John made haste to find the back door, to which a fairly good trail was being rapidly made.

SECTION—SUNDAY forward in the darkness, being carried down as well by the other’s fall. Prince and Englishman thus struggled on It was Jailer, the stone floor in one indistinguishable heap. no ordinary combat of two to one, for neither of the prisoners could say which was the jailer and which his friend. The jailer, troubled by no such doubt, laid about him lustily, and was only prevent- ed from crying out by the fact that his heavy fur eap had, in the fall, become jammed down over his face as far as the chin and could not for the moment be dislodged. He reached for and drew the sword-bayonet that hung at his side (for his second pistol had become lost in the scrimmage), and thrust blindly about him, once, twice his blade met resistance and struck into flesh. ‘Jack,” panted Alan, “the beast’s stabbing. yourself loose and find the electric light.” As he spoke, Alan’s hand found the jailer’s throat. He knew it was not Jack’s from the rough beard that covered it. The jailer, maddened by the pres- sure, stabbed with fresh fury; most of his blows, fortunately, going wild in the darkness. Alan’s free hand reached for and located the arm that was wielding the bayonet, and for a moment the two wrestled desperately for its possession. Then a key clicked and the room was flooded with incandescent light, just as Alan, releasing his grip on the Russian’s throat, dealt him a_= short-arm blow on the chin with all the power of his practiced muscles. The jailer relaxed his tense limbs and lay still, while Alan, bleeding and exhausted, struggled to his feet. “Hot work, eh?” he panted. “Hard position to land a knockout from. But I caught him just right. He’ll trouble us no more for a few minutes, I fancy. You’re bleeding! Did he wound you?” “Only a scratch on my cheek. And you?” “A cut on my wrist and another on the shoulder, I think. Neither of them bad, thanks to the lack of aim in the dark. Close call, that! Now tie them up. Not a movement from either yet.” “You must have come close to killing them with those sledge-hammer blows of yours!” “It doesn’t much matter,” said the imperturbable pugilist, “they'll be all right in half an hour. It’s knowing where. to hit. If there are only four men we don’t need to wear the clothes of Let us take only the bunch of keys Get downstairs, these beasts. and the revolvers.” Securing these the two stepped out into the pas- sage, locked and bolted the door; then Jack. who knew his way, proceeded along the pastage to the stairway, leaped nimbly up the steps, bolted the door leading to the military quarters, then de- scended and bolted the bottom door. “Now for the clerk and then for the Governor. The clerk’s room connected with the armory, which was reached by passing through the apartment that held the turbine and dynamo, which they found purring away merrily. Covering the frightened clerk with four revolvers, Jack told him in Russian that if he made a sound it would be his last. They took him, opened cell No. 3, which was empty, and thrust him in. POST-DISPATCH—MAY 27, 1906. as I like you personally, and admire your assiduity in science, our case is so desperate that if you make any motion whatever, he will be compelled to shoot you dead.” The Governor bowed. “May I continue my writing?” he asked. Jack laughed heartily. | “Certainly,” and with that he departed to the cells, which he unlocked one by one, only to find them all empty. Returning, he said to the Governor: “Why did you not tell me that we were your only prisoners ?” “I feared,” replied the Governor mikily, that you might not believe me.” “After all, I don’t know that I should,” said Jack, holding out his hand, which the other shook rather unresponsively. “I want to thank you,” the Governor said slowly, “for all you have told me about electricity. ‘hat knowledge I expect to put to many useful purposes in the future, and the exercise of it will also make the hours drag less slowly than they did before you came,” “Oh, that’s all right,” cried Jack with enthusiasm, “I am sure you are very welcome to what teaching I have been able to give you, and no teacher could have wished a more apt pupil.” “It pleases me to hear you say that, Highness, al- though I fear I have been lax in my duties, and per- haps the knowledge of this place which you have got through my negligence has assisted you in mak- ing an eseape which I had not thought possible.” Jack laughed good-naturedly. -» fair in love and war,” he said. “Imprison- ment is a section of war. I must admit that elee- tricity has been a powerful aid to us. But you can- not blame yourself, Governor, for you always tobdk every precaution, and the jailer was eternally at my heels. You can never pretend that you trusted me, you know.” “I tried to do my duty,” said the old man mourn- fully, “and if electricity has been your helper, it has not been with my sanction. However, there’ is one point about electricity which you impressed upon me, which is that although it goes quickly, there is always a return current.” “What do you mean by that, Governor?” “Is it not sot It goes by a wire, and returns through the earth. I thought you tld me that.” “Yes, but I don’t quite see why you mention that feature of the case at this particular moment.” “I wanted to be sure what I have stated is true, You see, when you are gone there will be nobody 1 can ask.” All this time the aged Governor was holding Jack’s hand rather limply. Drummond showed signs of impatience. “Jack,” he cried at last, “that conversation may be very interesting, but it’s like smoking on an open powder mine. One never knows what may happen.

, circumstance. They have, presumably, plenty of powder, probably some live shells, petards and what-not, that will make short work even of those oaken doors. What do you propose to do?” “I propose,” said Jack, “to fill their crooked stair- way with cement. There are bags and bags of it in the armory.” | The megessity for this was prevented by an odd The two.young, men were seated in the Governor’s room, when at his table a telephone hell rang. Jack had not noticed this instrument, and now took up the receiver. - “Hello, Governor,” said a voice, “your fool of a jailer has bolted the stairway door, and we can’t open it.” “.“Oh, I beg pardon,” replied Jack, in whatever imi- tation of the Govenor’s voice he could assume. “T’ll see to it at once myself.” ‘He hung up the recejver and told his comrade what ‘had happened. , ~~ - “One or both of these officers are coming down. If we get the officers safely into a cell, there will be nobody to command the men, and it is more than likely that the officers carry the keys of the powder room. I’ll turn out the electric lamps in the hall, and light the lantern. You be ready at the foot of the stairs to fire if they make the slight- est resistance.” ~The two officers came down the circular stairway, grumbling at the delay to which they had been put. Lermontoff took advantage of the clamping of their heavy boots in the echoing stairway to shove the bolts once more, and then followed them, himself followed by Drummond, into the Governor’s room. yteching on the electric light, he said: “Gentlemen; I am Prince Lermontoff, in tempo- rary charge of this prison. The Governor is under arrest, and I regret that I must demand your swords, although I have every reason to believe that they will be handed back to you within a very few days after I have completed my investigations.” “fhe officers were too much accustomed to sudden changes in command to see anything odd in this turn of affairs. Lermontoff spoke with a quiet dignity that was very convincing, and the langauge he used was that of the nobility. The two officers handed him their swords without a word of protest.. “I must ask you whether you have yet received your winter supply of food.” “Oh, yes,” said the senior officer, “we had that nearly a month ago.” “Is it stored in the military portion of the rock, or below here?” “Our rations are packed away in a room upstairs.” “T am sorry, gentlemen, I must put you into cells until my mission is accomplished. If you will write a requisition for such rations as you are accus- tomed to receive I shall see that you are supplied. Meanwhile, write also an order to whomsoever you entrust in command of the men during your absence, to grant no one leave to come downstairs, and ask him to take care that each soldier is rigidly restrict- ed to the minimum quantity of vodka.” The senior officer sat down at the table, and wrote the two orders. The men were then placed in adjoining cells, without the thought of resistance éven occurring to them. They supposed there had been some changes at headquarters, and were rather relieved to have the assurance of the Prince that their arrest would prove temporary. Further in- Véstigation showed that there would be no danger of starvation for six months at least. Next day Jack, at great risk of his neck, scaled to the apex of the island, as he had thought of flying if possible, a signal of distress that might attract some passing vessel. But even though he reached the sharp ridge, he saw at once that no pole could be erected there, not even if he possessed one. The Wind aloft was terrific, and he gazed around him at an empty sea. ’ When four days had passed they began to look for the Russian relief boat, which they knew would got out the moment the Governor’s telegram reached ‘8t. Petersburg. . } On the fifth day Jack shouted down to Drummond, syho was standing by the door. “The Russian is coming, heading direct for us. She's in a hurry, too, crowding on all steam, and eating up the distance like a torpedo boat destroyer. I think it’s a cruiser. It’s not the old tub I came » anyway.” “Come down, then,” answered Alan, “and we”—— A cry from above interrupted him. Jack, having -t first glance spied the vessel whose description he “*:ad shouted to Drummond, had now turned his eyes eastward and stood staring aghast toward the sun- rise. ~- “What’s the matter?” asked Alan. ' “Matter?” echoed Jack. “They must be sending the whole Russian navy here in detachments to cap- ture our unworthy selves.

Looks like the Czar’s yacht, but no Russian vessel I know of can make that speed.” “She’s got the earmarks of Thornycroft build about her,” commented Drummond. “By Jove, Jack, what luck if she should prove to be English! No flag flying, though.” “She’s heading for us,” said Jack, “and apparent- ly she knows which side the cannon is on. If she’s Russian, they’ve taken it for granted we’ve captured the whole place and are in command of the guns. There, she’s turning.” The steamer was abreast of the rock, and per- haps three miles distant.

And you’ve been pretty decent to us, according to your lights. Jump aboard, we’ve no time to waste.” Nor did the Governor waste time in obeying. The others followed, and the boat shoved off. But scarcely had the oars caught the water when around the promontory came a large man-o’-war’s launch, a rapid-fire gun mounted on her bows. She was manned by.about twenty men in Russian police uni- form. “From the ‘tramp,’” commented Alan excitedly. “And her gun is trained on us.” “Get down to work!” shouted Jack to the strain- ing oarsmen. “No use!” groaned Kempt. “She'll cross within a hundred yards of us.

His plea is for the substitution of reformative for “revengeful and retaliatory” methods in the Government prisons. “To make a prisoner merely ‘a } good convict’ is to accomplish notiting; to make him a good ex-convict is to do a real service to both him and society,” says the author. “From the moment that the criminal enters the Penitentiary, no means should be neglected that will serve to impress“on his mind the fact that the State is his friend, and not his persecutor; that his wel- fare will be considered second only to the welfare of society; that the key to liberty is in his own hands; and that, given these advantages, he must work out his own destiny, and is, himself, the sole arbiter of the fate that will finally befall him.” Thus the author of “A Kansas Infernvu” izes his observations and opinions of prison condi- tions and prison methods at the Kansas State Peni- The author’s name is not given, but the summar- tentiary. “ publishers vouch for the genuine character of the book. ‘The auther is under sentence of deith, which, under the Kansas procedure, means life imprisonment without parole privilege. “If an engineer, on finding his running backward against his will, should fall to beating it with a hammer, thus further deranging the mechar.- ism. he would be adjudged insane; yet he would be displaying no greater want of reason than the sun- porters of the present crude and ineffective Kansas prison-system,” is a striking statement of the book. “Obviously, a rational moving the proper lever, would reverse the mechanism of his en- gine, and thus start it forward again; and, on the same principle, a practical man, instead of discourag- engine engineer, by ing and further debasing the criminal by suppressing the natural functions of his intellect, starving his body and beating his back, will, by touching a donf- inant force of his character, reverse the current of his desires and set him on the safe way to decent manhood.” Of these modes of punishments which are referred to as ineffectual and cruel, the most striking and * which is described in a quota- and by the author, as fol- unusual is the “crib,’ tion from an ex-guard, lows: “Patrick Lavey, who was for several years a guard at the prison, writes as ‘The convict’s hands-are strapped in a pair of leathern mitts, and a strap is passed through the rings at the wrists and fastened around the waist. Then iron bands are fastened to the museles of each arm, and another strap is used to draw the arms back to the- limit of endurance. In this position the prisoner is thrown into the “crib,” the cover is put down and locked with two heavy padlocks, the door of the cell is closed, and the victim is left to suffer and to moan out his misery to the bare stone walls of the empty cell.’ ” follows: The crib is a long, trunk-shaped. box, constructed. of heavy slats, placed some distance apart, There are two of these in use. Chains and iron shackles are now used, it is said, in plece of the straps de- secibed by Lavey. The prisoner’s outer clothing is removed, and he is placed in the “crib” face down- ward; his hands are fastened together and his feet are drawn upward and backward until his whole body is stretched taut in the shape of a bow. zy i “The intense agony inflicted by this method of torture is indescribable,” says the book. “Every muscle of the body quivers and. throbs with pain. The punishment is often continued intermittently for days, and sometimes even for weeks. Beating with a heavy strap is usually added, but that is comparatively a small punishment.” A section.from the Kansas statutes expressly pro- hibiting this character of punishment is quoted. Argument is made in favor of prisoners being em- ployed in profitable channels and the objection that convict labor should not come in competition with free labor is met in the same even tenor shown by the author in dealing with other conditions. His theory is not that the State should make a profit from convict labor, but that an “income tax” should be first placed on the laborer’s wages and the ex- penses of the prison be thus borne. After that he argues for restitution. “This is the way the author puts it: “The prisoner should be allowed to invest his} earnings in legitimate enterprises, under the super- vision of a competent board of managers; but the first returns of his labor should, in justice, go to recompense those whom he has injured in person or property. There would be no difficulty in fixing the amount of such recompense in cases of injury to or loss of property; in crimes against the person, the problem would be more difficult, but not by any means impossible. “Even in cases of homicide a scale of recompense, or partial recompense, -could be adjusted, just as punishments are now adjusted, to fit the degree of guilt; and there is no reason why such recompense should not be accepted with as little repugnance, as life insurance is now received. In fact, the idea here presented, if worked out in detail and enacted into law, would put the State in position to insure its citizens against malicious injury to person or property; and a more proper undertaking for a State could not well be conceived.” No man, he says, should be released from prison who, given the opportunity, has not made such restitution; but that the sum required should in no ease exceed $3000. A larger amount would. put the prisoner in an almost hopeless position, as detri- mental to his reform and the final good of society as is his present position, Education is chief among a!! reform influences championed in this book. A schvol is maintained in “ +s z $B Pine pir . es Bt Bae the Kansas Penitentiary, but, according to “A k sas Inferno,” it 1s highly unsatisfactory. Igno: the author asserts, is one of the principal causes making and keeping men criminals, “yet practic no attempt is made to remove this impediment € their reformation.” £ Ten per cent of the men in the Kansas prison ca neither read nor write, it is averred, and 50 per cent of them have so limited an education they cannot transact any ordinary business. Man training, however, is believed by this writer to the education most to be desired. -_- oo eee ————— — MIversr Gd _—— HILE Mr. Carnegie and those notable edu man, cators who have joined with him are striv- ing to bring about a simplification of English spelling, there are coming across the Atlantic the bow waves of a movement which embodies this matter of phonetic spelling and strikes beyond for the greater goal of a universal language. — _An-organization was recently formed at Washing- ton University called “La Esperanto Klubo de Uas- ingtono Universitato,” which is devoting itself to the study and spreading of the language here. Louis N. Beals Jr. is president of this club and its member- ship is progressing most satisfactorily in mastering the new language. “Commercial houses in Europe are finding a know]- edge of Esperanto to be desirable in competing for foreign trade,” says Mr. Beals, in speaking of the commercial value of the new language. “Some firms in France, so wide is becoming acquaintance with the speech, are finding it profitable to advertise in Esperanto to attract the trade of foreigners and na- tives who use the tongue. Even the conservative London Chamber of Commerce has just included it in its commercial educational derartment examinations to fit clerks for foreign trad -ompetition.” Charles B. Couchman of 2353 Albion place, while not an Esperantist in the sense of having mastered the language, is a student of it, a reader of the publications of the London Esperanto Society, and in some degree proficient. “The fine thing About Esperanto,” says Mr. Couch- to read it in a very short while. Ordinarily. when we look at a language unlike our own, it all has the appearance of being strange to us. In this respect it is forbidding, and few persons are inclined to give it more than a glance. In Esperanto there is so much that is reeognizable at first glance that one is in- vited to Jook closer. “If vou had never seen the language before and were to pick it up, you would be astonished to see how much of it you could read. If you knew only English and should receive today a letter from an Esperantist from France or Germany, you would be able to read the letter. You would not make out every but enough of it would be familiar to enable you to catch the gist of it. This is also true of the Frenchman, Italian, Spaniard, German and some others of the people of Europe.” As illustration of this, the following bit Esperanto, with .the translation, is published: La interygacia linguo Esperanto estas facile lerne- bla, ec de la personoj nemulte instruitaj.

Esperanto helps the sciences, commerce and journeys The language has traveled from Russia to Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, England (where 30 societies were formed in a little over a year), and has just reached the United States. Its most extensive vogue is in France, the first country in which a systematic campaign was conducted, and where the language has received offi- cial recognition and compliment. A similar cam- with similar results, has recently been waged in Germany. In America, Dr. Wilhelm Ostwald, the famous German physicist, by his enthusiasm for the has inspired the establishment of an Sir William Ramsay paign, propaganda, Esperanto club at Harvard. wrote an enthusiastic article for it in England, with30,000 in the French. immediate results. W. T. Stead of the Review of Reviews is a strong convert and is exerting himself to hig utmost to widen its use. Berthelot, Schuchart, d’Arsonval, Becquerel, Poincaife, Picot, etc., are other very prominent recruits. In France the national “Ecole des Mines” is contemplating its introduction as a regular course. Books in 22 languages for study are in use, 25 Esperanto journals are published and several continental newspapers maintain an Esperan- to column. There are even Esperanto typewriting machines on the market, and books for the blind are published in the language. Hence it appears that while strange in the United States (the land of homogeneous speech over imperial distances, and with Spanish neighbors only), yet it has developed tre- mendously on the continent of Europe, where the languages change many times in a day’s ride. So true is this, that it would pay one contemplating a visit to Europe to put in a few days studying Es- peranto, unless he is most thoroughly at home with the native tongues of the countries he is to visit. Dr. Zamenhof, its founder, claims to be able to express in Esperanto virtually all human ;thoughts. Shakspeare took the widest mental range of all great writers. He had a vocabulary of some 7000 words; yet Dr. Zamenhof has translated “Ham- let” into Esperanto. The number of words in the new tongue is surpris- ing. It has but 2000 words, against the more than 100,000 in the English language and the more than In other respects the new tongue is equally simple. It has but 16 rules granmmar, every one of which is familiar to persons of average education. It retains the words common to all languages, spells them phonetically, drops the special endings in each idiom and adopts them as root words: For example, atom, aksiom, adres, form, fosfor, histori, poet, profet, teatr, telegraf, vagon, ete. “Dr. Zamenhof picked out those which appear in most languages,” says a writer upon the Esperanto vocabulary. “For example, bark (English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish); eksplod (English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Polish, Russian); flor (English, French, | Italian, Latin, Polish, Russian); ete. : “For the remaining words—and there are compar- atively few left—which are never the same in the different languages, Dr. Zamenhof selected them in such a manner as to make the task of acquiring Esperanto equally difficult or equally easy for all concerned. Tamen (however), sed (but), dum (while), brak (arm), proksim (near), are taken from Latin. Tago (day), monat (month), tapet (carpet) are Ger- man. Gladi (to iron), vidi (to see), vosto (tail) are Slavic, and so forth. One sees that even there it is easy for everybody to make use of some knowledge of his own. In vidi every Latin scholar recognizes videre; in gladi the Germans recognize glat (and the verb in dialect, glatten) ; in tapet, the English reeog- nize tapestry and the French tapisserie; in brak, the French bras; in proksim, the English proximity.” of 1 fanguage) Sounds peculiar to One language are eliminate: The English th and w are not found in French ¢ German, therefore they are dropped.

This money was afterwards distributed among Fisher’s relatives, a8 the old man died within a short time after the successful search. But just before passing away he asserted that Frank de Lond, who had lived on the ranch adjoin- ing his own on the northwest, also had planted gold on the premises, De Lond, 15 years ago, went back to Wisconsin to settle an estate. He was killed by his brother in the brother’s front yard. Peter, his brother, who had occupied the ranch with him, was killed in a mine a few weeks before Frank went East. Frank de Lond had no bank account, and his brother recollected that when he once asked him POST-DISPATCH. MAY 27, 1906, for a loan of $1000, Frank went to the hill and brought back the coin. However, Peter died, fol- lowed a few years later by his brother Frank, and then when Fisher, the adjoining ranchman, found himself on the verge of death, he gave away his own secret and as much as he could of De Lond’s. The method of secreting the gold in the rock was as follows: A hole was drilled into the solid rock quite deeply and a long iron spoon with a wide flare at the bottom was inserted. The coin was then dropped into the hole, and as money was required the spoon was hoisted up, as much money as was de- sired was removed from the top of the pile, and then the spoon with the remaining cash was again low- ered into place, tory hundreds of thousands of Sunday pager: * Western newspapers which are sent out here | freight with the name of the newspaper printed 0} them, and they do not contain one single line the Southwest.

Steam is to be entirely dispensed with on the main lines. The giant of Niagara, with its “millions” of horsepower, is to dominate the states of Ohto, Indiana and Illinois, as the greatest force in transportation, light and heat. Niagara's power is to be delivered right here tn the city of St. Louis. Interurban and urban trolley lines in Ohio, Indiana and IIli- nois are to be driven to the wall. It will be war to the death with these. The changes in- valve an expenditure of over $250,000,000. ~ -_—- HE Big Four with its 4000 miles of main track in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, will be the first great Western system to discard the loco- motive, to change from steam to electricity and to illustrate the might of falling water. Its entire en- gineering force, including draftsmen and field staf, are now at work upon the plans soon to be put into operation for the substitution of electrical current from Niagara in place of steam over the entire sys- ten. This will mean the expenditure of ‘hundreds ot millions of dollars, the most extraordinary revolu- tion ever effected in railroading in the West and a concerted attuck on all the trolley lines now opera- ting in the suburbs of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. These trolley lines, which have been increasing wit! extraordinary rapidity and diverting to themselves millions of dollars of revenue formerly enjoyed by the Big Four, will be driven into bankruptey or into + subordinate position, if the power of the Vander- vilts can do it. Niagara Falls—one of the greatest forces of na. tere which man can contemplate—is the club with which these trolley lines, representing hundreds of millions of capitalization, are to be reduced to sub- mission. The trolley lines of Ohio, Indiana and IIli- nois have to buy coal to burn under their boilers to make their electricity, whereas a far greater power is going to waste over the edge of Niagara Falls and this the Vanderbilt systems propose to get for noth- ing. By means of surprising new inventions, such as the substitution of aluminum for copper in the carriage of electrical current, it has now been found that power can be transmitted hundreds of miles with only a trifle of leakage. Thus, 250,000 horse- power may be delivered from Niagara to St. Louis, Alton, Peoria, Cairo, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cin- cinnati, Vincennes or Colymbus, at a fraction of the coat whereby a trolley line in any of those points could manufacture an equal force. Added to this, the change soon to be made on the Big Four will involve more and better trains, high- er speed, a tota] absence of smoke and cinders and make possible a reduction of fares greater than any- thing hitherto known, In order to drive out of ex- istence the hundreds. of trolley lines which have made such serious inreads into its revenues, the Big Four, with electricity frem Niagara, will be able te take business at a rate that no troliey line can meet. They will have to come te terms with the Rig Four or go into bankruptcy. The possession of in connection with the new mechanical The

Four hundred steam now employed on the Big Four are to be thrown to the scrap heap, Two million tons of coal per year now used by the Big Four will have to seek a market elsewhere. These are only a few of the changes now impending. The trains of the system will be pulled by simple electric motors, taking their current from a wire, and will attain a speed of 50 to 70 miles per hour. At the present time $100,000,000 appropriated by the Vanderbilt system is being utilized for electrification, in addition to a special appropriation of $150,000,000 made for the purchase of electric motors for the New York Central. The Big Four, the Lake Shore and the New York Centra! are all working together on this mammoth project. One of the greatest authorities on the subject is Kittredge, Chief Engineer of the Big He has worked out many of the plans where by this enormous railroad system is to be operated Gieorge W. four. by Niagara with such success that only a few days, ago he was made Consulting Member of the Board of Engineers of the entire Vanderbilt system.

developed for the construction of an enormous pow- er plant, to generate a current by which the com- pany’s lines east and west of Buffalo will be op erated with electric motive power. It has been demonstrated that a current of enormous strength ean be generated by utilizing power at thé falls, and be transmitted by conduits and aerial systems 700 miles, covering the mileage of the lines of the &Va- tem in either direction. Since ‘the announeement was made less than a year age that a system of aerial transmission of high voltage electrie wires had been perfected to carry current from Niagara to Syracuse, N. Y. (a distance of 160 miles), the use of aluminum wire instead of copper for carrying the current has been adopted in long-distance transmission. What to elec- trical engineers a few years ago seemed impossible to create the electrie current. They discovered that aluminum wire for carrying current is more econom igal and originally jews expensive than copper wire. They also learned how to build and operate an electric railroad éngine more powerful and with much greater speed than the loeometive engine and one on which all medern safety methods will apply. About the only way in which the operation of the ideal electric pailyead engine is considered as affact. ing the roadbed is that 90-pound rails would be the heat weight of rail, eapeetally if there is to he much running at the rate of 70 miles or over per hour. The rule went into effect on all of the New York Central lines a year ago that ai main line new rail or replacement rail should not be less than 90 pounds and not more than 100 pounds.

Under the most favorable cireumstances, the work of making the wheeled and aerial equipment will require five years, but its installation by divisions may be effected in @ much shorter space of time. As one of the biggest links in the New York Cen. tra] system, the Big Four uses about 400 engines in ite train service-some of them the finest that can be constructed under present day models. While the changing of the motive power would involve the abandonment of $20,000,000 of such property, the arrangements for the change (covering a perio. of five years) will be conducted in the order of re: POST-DISFA TCHe HAY 8%, 1906, ° The towers are over wires will to Chicago NEW ALUMNUS TRANS ~ MISSION LINE ACROSS NIA GAIPA, (gh ER = Ree Sake See wie = “_ 2 ae ! 14) yee te

speed and increased revenue coming from extended service made more remunerative by greater tonnage and passenger revenues carried on a largely de- creased cost for motive power. the greatest item of expense will be the cost of apparatus for conducting current along the line of the road and labor for placing it in position. Fol- lowing the poliey already laid down in the ecan- struction of its own electric railroad engines, the New York Central has conducted its electrical cam- paign with a view to producing from the raw product the materials to be used in the manufacture of the electrical equipment. The latest experiments established that aluminum is the preferable metal for cables to be used in car- rying the power and 7500 miles of it will be re- quired, providing four complete lines between New York, St. Louis and Chicago. The underground amd aerial systems of installation have been adopted and their cost computed. The figures staggered even would be made in solid lengths of 460 miles; for the Lake Shore practically 600 miles in and those for the Big Four, Niagara to St. about 700 miles long. The reason for feed wires of the total length is that there is ag ‘eat saving in having a continuous wire for carrying ¢w rent, losses being to a large extent dependent on th number of connections made by breaking the s feed wire. e One of the effects of the use of electric power Bo the Big Four will be an increase in the number gf trains and the shor'ening or reduction of the mt of cars in trains.

Practically every sort of commodity that is shipped to these houses has at some time or other brought forth a message from Cupid. Young ladies in the country or in smaller towns where fruit or cotton or other things are packed, write their names somewhere about the barrels or boxes, and sometimes send little notes, dsking the recipient to write to them. Cupid uses an egg for this purpose more often than anything else, how- ever, and the number of egg romances that have reached a more or less serious stage are legion, Probably the fact that in most cases the “women folks” of the farm have charge of the chickens and eggs is responsible for names being found more fre- quently on the fruit of the hen than in other places. Sometimes the name and address is written without comment. Usually, however, this i« followed. by “Please write.” On other occasions a brief descrip- tion of the writer is sent, and a few have a verse of sentimental “poetry.” A great many hundred thousand cases of ezys are received in St. Louis each year. and these contain thousands of names and addresses. cities, sion men dresses or Some of the men / about the commission houses and grocery stores of the city have half a dozen or more correspondents at a time. times so interesting and intelligent a reply will be received to the man’s acceptance of the egg-sent in- vitation to write that a correspondence will develop which pays him well for his time.

Of that there is no doubt. In a recent issue of the Ledger the manager of one of the vaudeville com- panies that had been in town complained of her criticiam of the performance.

I was guilty of descending to the low plane of fighting the Devil with his own fire. A part of the Stuart public has become so used to strong language, cheap jokes and vulgar hits of low comedians, that the editor who truthfully reviews a Stuart performance, even in a mild way, is apt to violate the postal laws re- garding decency, as well as offend the better ele- ment of readers. But should this be the case, in reviewing your performance, the editor will gladly pay all costs of a lawsuit, martyr-like, in order to keep away such plays from the town in the future. “A elass of playgoers and readers can only under- stand a thing appealing to the faculties that have been timined to insinuations. ‘We frankly admit that the write-up was not high-class; that it did, here and there, appear to coarse minds to be a trifle indelicate.

Keep up your attractions and do not break up your troupe by chasing after newspaper reporters, and you will seore successes in towns pining for Egyptians and Brother Karasses.” This has been going on for some time, this raking up of trouble, and Miss Hudspeth has begun to feel the attacks of her enemies.

This has been esp cially no- ticeable since the introduction of the gime of golf Previous to that time the country clubs in the Southwest were few and far between, consisting in the main of hunting clubs whose patronage depended upon the abundance of game or upon the game laws. at HE rapid development of country clubs is one A few years ago there was only ore country club i> “t.

Today there are over a dozen shing country cluks in the immedist> neigh- od of St. Lonis, and at these places golf is i alwost to the exclusion of every ot'er game The same is true in a greater or less degree of all the iarge cities in the West, which is producing to- day the best golf players of the United States. The two Egans, for instance, come from Illinois, and west of the Mississippi there are many golf players who believe they could beat,Travis. The Transmis- sissippi Golf Association is rapidly growing in im- portance and numbers, and every considerable town in the Southwest today has its players and the-nu- cleus of one or more flourishing country clubs.

Pigeon House: i) |! ment this year of a scheme whereby the Glen Echo Club of St. Louis has gone into poultry raising upon a large scale. This is for the purpose of supplying its own tables, and likewise for supplying members of the club with poultry at their own homes in case the club raises more than it can consume. Eight hundred high-grade poultry were purchased last winter and installed in an elaborate series of runs and houses near the clubhouse, and at the same time a large number of incubators were purchased and an expert chicken-raiser hired to look after this novel branch of the club’s development. From the original 800 the club has at the present time 1800 fowls. The ificubators haye been turning out 250: per week for several months, and the broilers for the table have been supplied regularly. To go down and see how the chickens are getting on has become one of the favorite amusements at the club, where visitors are shown all varieties of high-grade fowls, such as Plymouth Rocks, Brahmins, ete., in various stages of growth. In addition to ths a auck pond has been started and supplied with a large body of high-grade ducks. which are also hatched in the incubators.

A new pigeon house was erected this spring, and here are several hundred carriers, which breed rapidly. “It is believed that a large economy in the club management will thus be effected and a lesson given to old country clubs in the United States as to how they-can supply their own table from their own land. This country club has also installed cows to supply milk, and kitchen gardens where many vegeta- bles are being grown for the table. The restaurant at the present time~uses 300 spring chickens per week, which is about the limit of the chicken fac- tory. In good spring weather the percentage of loss, it is stated, has been comparatively small. It will, therefore, be seen that, under good man- agement, a considerable saving can be effected on the weekly bills, and that a new source of profit may be opened to country clubs throughout the land. There appears to be no reason why such clubs should not raise their own vegetables and supply themeelves with such delicacies as frogs’ legs and mushrooms, as well as strawberries, raspberries, cherries, plums and other fruits. According to the English system of club man »ge- ment these ought to be sold to the members at cost, apples, for clubs in Eurvpe nevet seex to make a profit on their bar or restaurant, and supply members with food,-wines and cigars at the actual wholesale ri This scheme, it is said, is another one of the comit reforms which will be introduced into obentry a ‘lub s0 as to make them still more desirable and deprive them of their commercial aspect. a Nuremberg is, and has been for yeara, the g nat center of the pencil trade, possessing between | and 40 factories, which give employment to ron 8000 to 10,000 hands, while the annual, output of pencils numbers 350,000,000. ea

deffe TERE is a general idea that only graduates of "Eh West Point can become officers in the army, and thorgh this is not and never has been true, the fret that a large percentage of the officers are West Point graduates has overshadowed in the publie mind the many notable exceptions. Nowhere ean a better illustration of this be found than at Jefferson Barracks, where only five of the 25 officers stationed there are West Point men. The sense of pride that every old cadet feels when he looks back upon the four years at the academy by which he won his shoulder straps causes him to believe that the science of war cannot be learned in any other way and that no other preparation fits an officer for the proper understanding of his* profes- sion. Historical facts support this belief. Every first-class military reputation made on both sides in the Civil War was made by a West Pointer. Jeffer- son Davis declared at a banquet in Richmond that none but West Point graduates should have com- mands in the Confederate army. The same feeling was exhibited when Gen, Miles was appointed Lieu- tenant-General of the army and much dissatisfaction was not only felt. but expressed, that he and no‘ some one who had passed the four years’ “grind” at the Point should be given the highest rank. There has always been jealousy between those offi- cers who have had the academy training and those who have won their rank by conspicuous gallantry or by determinaticn to win it. This is especially the case now, when there are so many of the latter class, notably Gens. Wood and Funston, an! although those who tecorre officers from civil life have to pass as rigid an examination in literature, the classics, languages and mathematics as well as military tac- tics and strategy as any first-clasaman at the acad- emy, the old West Pointer can never be convinced that he does not know infinitely more than the other. Added to this the ranks of the army are largely made up of the lower classes of society, and great self-restraint and perseverefice are required for a man of education to endure it. While he recognizes the need of rank distinction to insure good discipline he inwardly rebe!s against isolation from his own kind and hourly association with those with whom he ean in the nature of things have nothing in com- mon, As a rule he dces not have a long period of effacement in the ranks, for real merit is quickly recognized by the officers and opportunities of ad- vancement are open to those ready to take advantage of them, and an ambitious man soon begins the long mental and physical trial ending in a document signed by the Presidert which allows him to ex- change his chevrons for shoulder straps and abandon his barrack bunk and place in the soldiers’ mess for quarters in the officers’ line. Jefferson Barracks enjoys the distinction of being the only important army post of the United Stats where, with five exceptions, the officers are not West Point graduates. L-.eutenant-Colonel Tutherly, the commanding officer, is an old cadet of the class of ‘U8, but the Ninth Cavalry squadron commander, Maj. Macomb, won his commission from civil life without training at the Point. Three of the five cap- tains rose from the ranks, and all but two of the lieutenants probably never saw the inside of a class- room at the Military Academy. Maj. Macomb presents a fine example of the sort of a soldier the grim school of experience will pro- duce. Of a splendid physique and alert and active as a man of 30, he has yet passed the half centura mark, Distinguished for thoroughness and

Cornelius C. Smith, Fourteenth Cavalry, one of the three captains who rose from the ranks, 13 the holder of one of the highest and most coveted honors bestowed by the nation—a medal of honor. During the Sioux uprising of 1891 in North Dakota he and four men of his troop drove back an attacking band of 30 Sioux, holding his position despite repeat- ed efforts on the part of the Indiaris, and finally, after a desperate fight, routing them. At the time he was a corporal in the Second Cavalry, but his promotion came very speedily and with it the high- est praise from his superior officers. Capt. Alvarado M. Fuller, Ninth Cavalry, writer and tactical authority, fell upon evil chances and served nearly nine years before his opportun'ty noted came. For the first three years his troop command- er was a man who believed no would-be officer should carry his grist to any mill but that at West Point and frustrated all young Fuller’s efforts to- wards the desired end. Then, when he obtained a transfer to another troop and was given a fair chance to try, the slowness of promotion that pre- Vailed before the Spanish War prevented his obtain- ing his commission for six years more. All this time, however, he was learning how to fight by actual experience in many Indian troubles. First Lieutenant J. 8S. E. Young, jutant of the Ninth Cavalry, an adventurous young Southerner, enlisted from his native State of Vir- ginia in ’94, serving first in the infantry and reaching the grade of first sergeant. When the Spanish War began he was Regimental Sergeant-Major of the Twelfth Infantry and landed with his regiment at Daiquiri when Shafter’s army invaded Cuba. He squadron ad- took part in the fight at Las Guasimas, and lay with his regiment in the trenches around Santiago, where he received a severe wound. Determination kept him fighting till Santiago capitulated, then he succumbed to the effect of his wound and was sent to Montauk Point, where for weeks he hovered between life and death. After his recovery he rejoined his regiment, then at Jefferson Barracks, and while there he ap- plied for and obtained a first heutenancy in the Thirty-seventh Volunteer Infantry. His commanding officer said when presenting him his commission: “There may be better non-commissioned officers than you are, but | never saw one.” He served in the Philippines with the Volunteers and in Cuba dur- ing the American protectorate and left the volunteers in 1901 to enter the regular army as a Second Lieu- tenant in the Fifth Cavalry.

The scheme is, briefly, to eliminate “putting” by making the holes five or six feet in diameter instead of a couple of inches wide as at the present time. As everybody knows, golf consists of three grand divisions, driv.ng, approaching and putting, each of which is different from the other, and requires a different set of clubs. According toe the St. Louis expert who has been studying the’ game, putting Is a sort of a croquet or billiards, which should not properly be a part of the game and which is te lious and consumes much time. “Immediately after a game we occasionally hear & man refer to some remarkable put which be has wriade, of ten or twenty feet, but he quickly forgets it and it attracts comparatively little attention. On the other hand, a man who makes a long drive or a fine brassie shot never forgets it, and it excites

universal admiration among those who witness the J 74 hah oh a, ell — oer 7 a “er sum . aoe” 08 a] ———— £400. - fi le : , eo? “ .

feat, although, as 8 matter of fact, a good put of 10 feet may count for as much in the seore as a good drive of 200 yards. “The reason for this is that there is no pleaswe in putting, It is not, properly, an essential part of the game. Putting is the lady's part of golf. Every golfer would rather make a good drive or a good brassie than a good put. “Golf is played by all its devotees for p'eisure and exercise, and not for the mere making of a score. The pleasure of the game is derived from the work off the tee and on the fair green. Nobody looks for. ward to the putting green as affording any pleasure. “I assert emphatically,” continued this St. louis reformer, “that the proper thing to do is to invent a new American game of golf by eliminating putting. This can oniy be done in one way, and that is by enlarging the holes to such an extent that they are like small pot bunkers. so that you ean drive right into them from the fair green. Another advantage of this would be that the immense amount of ex. pense now thrown upon country clubs by the neces. sity of keeping up the putting greens like velvet, would be altogether done away with. “Golf as it is played today is a game developed in Scotland to suit the Seotch character. The putting cautious and deliberate work, and in- It is inconsistent with improved all calls for cool, volves a great waste of time. the American character, which has other games in the direction of speed. “Take out the putting and you can finish a game of golf in one-half the time now réquired, whi'e at the same time you retain the only parts of the game that give pleasure to the players, these being the driving and approaching. With this new and tm- proved golf which I propose, you could play 36 holes in the time now required to play 18. Hence, if this game was adopted, all golf players would get twice as much exercise out of it as they do at the pres- ent time and twice as many opportunities for making long drives and brassies, while the coat of the game in the maintenance of elegant putting greens would be altogether eliminated.” SUNDAY MAGAZINE- ST: LOUIS POST-D{SPATCH. MAY 2%, 1906, e fr6m the RA Point. Lieut. Fechet enlisted soon after the Maine was blown up and war with Spain seemed certain and served in the ranks until July, 1900. His troop formed part of the expedition with which Gen. Miles made the spectacular apd bloodless conquest of Porto Rico, but he had plenty of real fighting later against the Filipinos, where he several times gained the praise of his commanding officer. During the mobilization of the troops at Tampa prior to setting out for Cuba in June, 1898, Lieut. Fechet and his father were in the same regiment, the Sixth Cavalry, the former in the ranks and the, latter Major of his squadron, a difficult situation for both, for the distinction of rank had to be strictly observed in spite of their relationship. Lieuts. Fechet and Howard are the Damon and Pythias of the Ninth Cavalry, their friendship dat rg from Lieut. Howard's transfer from the artillery to the Sixth Cavalry in 1900. Both were “top ser- geants” of their respective troops, bunked and mesvre 1 together, took their examination for promotion and were commissioned about the same time, secured aa- signments to the Ninth Cavalry and have lived to- gether ever since. Probably the most brilliant career of any officer at Jefferson Barracks is that of First Lieutenant Wil- liam L. Luhn. When the President called for vol- unteers he responded, and was appointed First L'eu- tenant of the First Washington Infantry, sailing from San Francisco with the first troops sent to the Philippines. He took part in the first land fight in the Philippines—at Malate—and afterwards at Dag- upan, Tarlac and other important engagements, In July, 1899, when his regiment came, he remained in the Philippines, having been appointed Major of Volunteers and assigned to the Thirty-sixth Infan- try, the regiment commanded by Gen. (then Colonel) Franklin Bell, which did brilliant work in quelling the insurrection in the Island of Luzon. After the fight near Porac, which won Col. Bell a medal of honor and his command the highest praise for gal- lantry, Maj. Luhn was advanced to a lieutenant col- oneley and acted as Bell’s second in command until appointed Military Governor of one of the pacified provinces of .Luzon, pe:forming the duties of fi: office with so much cred t that when he was mus. tered out of the volunteers in 1901 he found a Firat Lieutenant's commission in the regular army await- ing him. Capt. W. C. Cannon, Quartermaster, a nephew of Speaker Cannon, enlisted at the beginning of the Spanish War and waa made First Color Sargeant in the signal corps, advancing to the rank of Second Lieutenant before the month was out. Since then his promotion has been rapid. Capt. Cannon served in Cuba and the Philippines during the war with Spain and later was acting Quartermaster of trans- port service, with headquarters at Yokohama, Japan. As Construeting Quartermaster at Jefferson Bar- racks he has accomplished the transformation of that post to a thoroughly modern army station. First Lieutenant Cole has nothing spectacular ti, look back upon in his army life. He knew what he wanted, set about obtaining it and was fortunate in getting it with the least possible delay. He entered the volunteers, the Two Hundre’ and Second New York Regiment, as Second Lieutenant, but remained at ¢ ‘hicakamauga instead of being sent to the front. He resigned, enlisted as a private in the Twenty- «ixth Volunteers, soon rose to a lieutenancy and was mustered out of the volunteers and into the regular establishment as a Second Lieutenant,

Lieut. T. B. Esty began his life in the “Astors’ Dudes,” as the Tennessee and ments nicknamed the men of the famous Astor Ba tery when that organization marched into camp ai San Francisco preparatory to embarking for the Philippines. The “dudes” caused considerable riti- cism while in the detention camp at San cisco because of their so-called exclusiveness in not mix to any great extent with the enlisted men of oth organizations and because they would not ' Sie themselves to be coddled, fed on dainties and 1} generally by the San Franeisco Red Cross Soc They demonstrated theig ability to fight well the time came, however, and every man in the at: tery found no difficulty ih gaining admission and rapid advancement in the regular army. Lieut. Esty wore the chevrons just 11 months before he won shoulder straps and will shortly get his promotion ¥ a Firat Lieutenant's rank. He is first a at Jefferson Barracks and acting Judge / the Summary Coart at the post. . es - Though a West Point cadet, Lieut. F. L. Cox ws not enter the army from the aeademy.
