Bombs and Riots Not Good Ac- companiments for the Social Events, CANTACUZENES ARE GONE Soon Grant’s Granddaughter and Her Husband Will Join Dowager Princess. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and ew York World. PARIS, Aug. 18.—The Prince and Princess Cantacuzene are expected in Paris after their visit to Gen. and Mrs. Fred D. Grant is concluded, ‘and it is understood here that they will remain for the winter season, and, in fact, in- definitely. The ultra smart set at St. Petersburg, to which the Cantacuzens belong, is furnishing a considerable furore in Paris since the political troubles be- came so acute, and a large number of these fashionable Russian families have taken hotels or apartments for six months or a year. The Imperial Court of the Czar and Czarina promises to be exceedingly dull during the coming sea- son, and so they have flocked to Paris, where they can continue their round of gayety undisturbed. The Cantacuzenes are as much at home in Paris as they are in St. Pe- tersburg. The old Princess, mother of Julia Grant’s husband, was a French woman, a delicate little Dresden china beauty of good St. Germain stock. She brought her husband a comfortable dower and dutifully embraced the re- ligion and the customs of Russia, but has carefuly kept up her connections with France. Petersburg she lives in the Same house with her son Michael, but occupies one floorewith her separate es- tablishment, and that is French to the smallest detail. A decade or so ago French influence in literature, art and society, which was established by Cath- erine the Great, was seriously endan- ered by the patriotic cry of ‘‘Russia or the Russians,’ started by men and women of influence. Up to that time no Russian grande dame would condescend to use her native tongue in her draw- ing room, speaking there only French and reserving the Russian as fit only in talking to the servants. The foremost writers of Russia, such as Turgeneff, for instance, and Gogal, wrote first in French and then trans- lated into Russian, the French theater at St. Petersburg was the place to see the best plays, and at the opera even the ——— had to give way to the ench. When the cry was taken up of “Rus- sia for the Russians’’ and members of the aristocracy began hunting up the old Bayard costumes for fancy dress balls, and crowding to the Russian The- ater, it was the old Princess Cantacu- zene who’ championed the French infiu- ence in St. Petersburg society. She es- tablished a salon where the Franco- Russian alliance was exalted politically, and where French literature, music and art were extolled. Consequently she and her family are helg in great esteem in France. It Was Mra. Palmer’s Match. Julfa Dent Grant met her husband in Paris when she was chaperoned here by her aunt, Mrs. Potter Palmer, who oc- cupnles a rather exalted position § in Paris. Princes and Princesses in Rus- sia are as thick as mosquitoes in New Jersey, but the Russian court is most exclusive and the hereditory court priv- ileges -which go with the old titles in England, Austria and Spain are un- known in Russia. Julia Grant, as Princess Cantacuzene, has no position at court, except the one the Czarina pleases to bestow upon her as the wife of a fashionable young guardsman of good family. The young Prince Cantacuzene, her husband, is good looking and a friend of the Viadi- mir family, being in the same regiment with the Grand Duke Boris. The Can- tacuzenes are generally included in the exclusive little dances with the Grand Duchess Viadimir gives during the win- ter, attendance at which carries such prestige that they are the goal of every social climber. The young Princess Cantacuzene is something of a favorite with the Czari- na, but rather on account of her own distinguished American ancestry than on any account of the Cantacuzenes. The Princess has been in Paris several times since her marriage, but only for short visits, when her friends remarked that she seemed to have become very matronly, thoroughly devoted to her children and very Russian. SHE LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE QUEEN OF ITALY. lal Cable to the Post-Dispatch and 5 sie8 New York World. Copyright. 1906, by the Press Pub. Co. iNew York World.)

CALVE SINGS IN CLOUDS TO GIVE HER VOICE REST

But Her Fervid Singing in Lourdes Procession Makes ‘Her Temporarily Dumb. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright. 1906, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) CAUTERETS, Southern France, Aug. 18.—Mme. Calve is recruiting her health here in this lovely valley, encompassed by the lofty Pyrenees. She has made this section on the Spanish border fa- mous through her enthusiastic belief in the beneficial effects of the mountain air upon the voice. She says it strength- ens the vocal cords. It is her delight to ascend the heights as far as an auto may go, then in the pure, rare air sing at the top of her voice until the mountains ring back the silvery notes. Ofteh she makes up a party of noted singers, who mount togetper and give a concert near the clouds. All» declare that nothing so rests the voice while it is mellowing than mountain singing. Recently, though, Calve indulged her mood to guch an extent that she was ordered to keep mute for three days. Out of curiosity she had descended from Cauterets to the neighboring Lourdes, where an unusually great pilgrimage was gathering for a special occasion. Calve caught the infection of religious enthusiasm and joined the villagers in an. all-day-long procession, singing hymns without cessation. - Spectators say her face and her cheeks were fev- r A rumor spread that she had been converted, would abandon her public career and take a nun’s veil. The next day found the cantatrice utterly ex- hausted. Her voice was gone and she was a nervous wreck. She confessed that.she had been deep- ly moved, but said that the emotion was purely artistic rather than relig- ious, adding: ‘ “America will hear me again. RAILROAD MUST KEEP - FREE-RIDE PROMISE. Special Cable to the, Post-Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, Aug. 18.—The Government lost again in the case of trying to stop the free railroad rides of an entire city. For a number of years the inhabitants of Lauenburg have had the privelege of riding from their town to Buchen, a dis- tance of nine miles free of charge. The Government has tried a-few times to cut them off from this privilege, but it lost each time. When the railroad asked for the fran- chise the citizens of Lauenburg were promised that the line would touch their town and they contributed generously. Expert engineers, however, said that it would be very expensive to build a line to Lauenburg, so the tracks were laid by way of Buchen. When the popula- tion of Lauenburg complained, a branch was built between Buchen and uen- burg and they were allowed the use of the-line free of charge. Although many years have passed since then, the courts declare that the inhabitants of Lauen- burg are still entitled to free rides, MOAT AROUND LOUVRE ' TO BE DUG OUT AGAIN, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Worild. Copyright, 1906, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, Aug. 18.—The famous Palace of the Louvre fs going to have a moat all around it, or .rather the ancient moat, which added majesty to the great ila because of the magnificence of its ses, will be dug out again along the Rue de Rivoli, Rue de Louvre and the Quai de Louvre.

FIRES AND STEAM ROLLERS FAIL TO H{NDER LOCUSTS Great Stretches of Hungary's Fields and Gardens Left a Waste. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and APO New York World. VIENNA, Aug. 18:—Myriads of locusts are devastating the country in the neighborhood of Debreczin, Hungary.. They are sweeping through the land, eating every green thing they find in their patn. She crops on 60,000 acres have already been consumed, so that the ground is quite bare, and the au- thorities are helpless to stay the ad- vance of the insects. All sorts of desperate means are be- ing tried without avail to keep’ back the invading host. Fires have been lighted, but the locusts swarm into the flames until they are extinguished, and the survivors continue thelr march un- im peded. Twelve steam rollers are being used at one place, and roller brooms are sweeping up the dead bodies of the crushed insects. But no apparent prog- ress is made. The locusts cover the earth in many places to the depth of several inches, and defy annihilation. To make matters worse, a storm has carried clouds of them over the River Theiss, and they have devoured prac- tically all the corn, which was stand- ing in sheaves. What is left is worth- less, as animals refuse to touch it ow- ing to its peculiar smell, The plague first appeared last ‘ear, when a force of 600 men was organ- ized to destroy the locusts. This year the position of aftairs is much worse, and many farmers are threatened with ruin. BERNHARDT WANTED RIBBON FOR FAMILY. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch anu New York World. PARIS.

ENTIRE VILLAGE HOMELESS : AFTER BIG’ WATERSPOUT

Downpour on Mountains Loos- ens Avalanche of Sand and Stones. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, Aug. 18.—-The entire population of the village of Fourneaux, near Mo- dane, on the Franco-ltalian frontier, has been rendered homeless by a tre- mendous waterspout and landslide, which devastated the village. The bursting- of the waterspout breught down from the mountain-side an avalanche of 200,000 cubic. yards of rock and sand, which virtually de- stroyed every habitation in the vicinity, caused the death of five persons, and interrupted railway communication be- tween France and Italy. The damage is estimated at $1,250,000. A terrific thunderstorm, pete cary tne | the | by torrential rain, broke over neighborhood. In a few minutes mountain streams were transformed in- to raging torrents, the flood carrying down from the mountain vast quantities of gravel.

Conservative Educators Are Again Fighting the Battle Lost at High Schools, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, Aug. 18.—A question of much concern in Germany is whether women be admitted to law ecaminations and be permitted to practice, if they pass examinations. The more conserva- tive educators and political men say women should not be allowed to invade this field, as they have already invaded inany flelds of activity formerly occu- pied solely by men. The conservutive press has, in fact, expressed alarm at the number of women attending the lectures at universities. They cay that s00n there will be no womon to keep house, if the number of women univer- Sity students keeps on increasing. Only a short time ago a flerce battle Was waged by those who velieved wum- én had a right to acquire an education, when the German authorities wanted to keep girls from high schools.

OUR SOLDIERS TO BE BEST DRESSED . OF FIGHTING MEN London Expert Praises Ameri- can Army, Roasts New York Tailors. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, Aug. 18.—“In 12 months from now the American army will be the finest dressed body of men in the world.,”’ The statement was made yesterday by George B. Winter, the London military tailor, who was engaged at a salary of $1250 a week by the United States Gov- ernment to reorganize the uniforms of the American army. It was made to a newspaper representative shortly after Mr. Winter returned to England. “The United States authorities take their army very serious,’’ continued Mr. Winter. ‘‘When I arrived at Washington there was a special army commission sitting, and it was to this that I made my report. All my suggestions have beén accepted. “The American army contains the pick of American manhood. The soldiers are as hard as nails, lean and muscular. They are, indeed, a -m ticent lot of and are ca e of standing any amount of coebee # It was a pleas- ure to design clothes for them, particu- larly as those they were wearing were ill-fitting and uncoinfortable, and with- out gracefulness. “In future, however, they. will be dressed mutch as the British soldier is dressed, They will wear khaki in the summer and cloth in'the winter. The tunic and overalls will fit the ere and it is not too much to say that the American soldier will be the best dressed fighting man in the -world. “The army authorities are ready to spend money right and left to make the force efficient and presentable and eve the cloth used is a great deal bette ihan that in British uniforms.” When the repdérter questioned. Mr. Winter about the American tallor the London expert smiled. “They make a lot of money inventing ‘fad’ clothes,”’ he said. ‘‘The result, as far as their customers is concerned, is ludicrous. “The young men of the smart set in New York and other American cities are the most foolish looking ‘dudes’ I have ever seen. The’ ‘smart’ youth wears as a rule a coat that might have belonged to a giant. And as for his trousers, they fit where they touch. They look as if they had been inade in a hurry by the eyoung man’s women folk. ‘Yet the American man pays enorm- ous prices for these awful clothes, and he imagines he is dressed like an Eng- lishman,’’ concluded Mr. Winter.

—_——————— The New York courts made a new precedent in interstate divorce law during the week by granting that he, Hancock, Washington and other leaders of “the misguided populace” would be, if caught. In view of+ this feeling on the part of Franklin, Hancock and others, Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court said in a speech delivered in Virginia during the week, that it was impossible for such anti- colonialists as they were to haye put anything in American official constitutional power to force @ ‘ation system on the Philippines. On Wednesday the Acting Mayor of Brooklyn secured an armistice between the public and the offi- cials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.’ through a proposition to refer the question of the illegality of the double fare charged by the company to the courts. The company is expected to issue slips in the meantime to patrons paying the contested fare with the promise to redeem them if the decision is in favor of the public. This plan of pacification is important only in view of the actual fierceness of the struggle between the public and the corpora- tion. » It amounted during the early part of the week to almost continuous rioting with several deaths reported. Passengers refused to pay the extra 5 cents which was denounced as illegal. When the attempt was made to put them off the cars, they were generally supported against police and transit employes by other passengers and by by- standers collecting when the car was stopped. Over 40 prisoners were held at Coney Island without breaking the spirit of resistance to the transit company. While the eaction of the crowds was often lawless, it was sometimes self-defensive. The } general idea underlying it was that public service corporations hold their franchisés as servants of the public. >> hh allie THE POLITICAL POT. This middle week of August has seen the political pot begin to simmer. A few States like Pennsylva- nia and the New England States of Maine and Ver- mont, which elect Governors early next month, had been forehanded. This week Nebraska and Texas came into line. The Nebraska Populists had re- Beit

defeated in 1904 by John H.'.Mickey, Republican, whose plurality was only 9143, while Roosevelt’s was 86,682. The Democratic convention this week rejected Berge and chose ex-Congressman Shallen- berger to head the ticket. Berge then declined the ngmination by the Populists, who agreed to indorse Shallenberger on condition that they take the other places on the ticket. The Democratic convention _@ decree of divorce to Mrs. Gunton and at the ¢invited all Democrats to accept Bryan’s leadership, eT a eR ey « same time prohibiting her husband from marrying. - The significance of the decree is that Prof. Gun- ton, once well known as a magazine editor, had already divorced his wife in Dakota and had mar- ried a wealthy and prominent woman, a leader in the Woman's Club movement. The decree amounts : to a refusal of the New York courts to recognize such divorces granted in other States. The Census Bureau began on Monday in New York the-Federal., but refrained from indorsing his candidacy for Pres- ident. State issues form the platform. The Texas Democrats indorsed Bryan with a whoop and de- manded that corporations be prohibited from con- tributing to campaign funds and trusts from op- erating in Texas. T. M. Campbell was nominated for Governor. There being two factions of Repub- licans in Texas, the party will cut even less of a figure than usual Dr. Carey A.

The investigation will bear specially on such points as that involved in the Gunton case, but it is intended to cover every phase of divorce as.a habit, now thought to be growing in the United States. Undisguised terrorism in Russia is taking the place of the dissolved Duma. The Czar’s program is that of terrorism, with such of his Cossack and other troops as remain loyal to absolutism, turned loose on the country with practically no control. The events of the week, illustrated by the reported whipping of Miss De Smirnoff at St, Petersburg by the officers of an imperial regiment, show no actual control exercised by the Imperial Government even over its own troops. At Warsaw, Kiev and other cities, the most violent element of the Revolution- ists began organized riots, accompanied by bomb- throwing and the killing of many policemen. The struggle as it developed its worst phases during the week, was between two forces, both disorgan-— ized, anarchistic and murderous. The method of Imperialists and Revolutionists was equally that of terrorism, which promises to develop its worst ef- fects as long as the present Czar remains to assert a claim of absolutism he is powerless to support. A representative of the Winnipeg Exposition who visited President Roosevelt reported on his return that. the President does not expect Canada to be “Americanized” as a result of the stream of immi- grants which has poured into the new Canadian West from the United States. The President is reported to have said that these new Canadians will find Canadian laws as good as those they left behind and will find them better administered. This seems to cover the case, but there is one point omitted. Some of these new Canadians think the United States have more territory now than can be decently governed. They think the same of the British Empire. They also think that Canada has about territory enough to make a first-class inde- pendent republic. Mrs. Craigie, better known as John Oliver Hobbes, was found dead in bed in her London residence -@n Monday. A Coroner's inquest decided that the cause of death was not suicide, as sume had sus- pected. She wrote novels which were almost as Powteted read in this country as in England. As “John Oliver Hobbes,” after separating from her husband, ore developed a view of the world which was in- tended to create the impression that she had a thorough masculine understanding of the worst in it. Her characteristic work belonged to “the South African period” and it was better than much of the “hot stuff” of that period.

In Massachusetts the atmosphere has been cleared by the agreement among Democrats that Henry M. Whitney shall be nominated for Governor and Congressman Sullivan for This disposes of the inflammable District Attorney Moran of Boston, who has been clamoring for the nomination. Tariff reform is to be pushed to the front. Last year Whitney, matched against Gen. en for the Lieutenant-Governorship by only about 2000 votes, although the plurality of Curtis Guild Jr., the Republican candidate for Governor, ex- ceeded 22,000. The Home Market Club, ultra-pro- tectionist to the pocket, is bent on making trouble for Gov. Guild, who is publicly committed to tariff revision. It hopes to force him onto_a “Stand- Pat” platform, since it cannot beat him for the nomination. ' Except for the humiliating effect suffered by Gov. Higgins at the meeting of the Republican State Committee Wednesday through the sudden switch of Committeeman Livingston of Brooklyn, the conditions in New York are still all confusion. The Democrats remain all at sea, frightened and leaderless. Elsewhere the little presidential boom of “Uncle Jee” Cannon is the most divérting incident. The Speaker has planted his feet firmly on Dingleyism and refuses to budge. Across the Indiana line Fairbanks has both ears to the ground dreading an earthquake, but real seats of Repubjican dis- turbance are Massachusetts and lowa, where the forces of tariff reform are in action, and New York and Pennsylvania, where factional rumblings threaten.

rr ereOUl|!, In the prohibition counties of New York State a nauseous drink is sold by grocers which is popu- larly known as Two Per Cent, because the alcoholic part is limited to that quantity. Many foolish per- sons have tried to drink enough to intoxicate them, but it is said that no one ever succeeded. Like St. Louis County “splits,” the suppression of its sale is a duty peculiar to the Board of Health and not to the excise department. == = — OR. MOXOM’S DISCOVERY. Rev. Dr. Philip 8.

The Engineering Record contains an account of the operations of a traction ditching machine working on a sewer trench in stiff clay. The outfit costs $4600 to install, and notwithstanding the payment of very high Wages to the operators, the excavation was being done for 3% cents per cubic yard, including all ex- penses except depreciation, and interest. In digging a trench 26 inches wide by 7 feet deep, in tough clay, the traction engine was geared to travel forward ata speed of two feet per minute. If kept up without in- ter-iurption for 10 hours this would mean 1200 lineal feet of seven-foot trench per day, but allowing for ad- jJustments and incidental stoppages, an average of 9%) feel per day was actually accomplished, NEW PROTECTION FOR CHAUFFEURS. “A new speecometer for motorists is now on the market, says Technical World Magazine for Sep- tember, which not only gives the rate of speed per hour and the number of minutes to the mile, but can be set at uny given speed, so that when that speed is exceeded a buzzer announces the fact to the driver. Witn this device in ‘se, a chauffeur can set the speedometer at the limit of speed allowed in the ¢oun- try where he is traveling, and, as soon as the lim't is exceeded, he will be warned of the fact.

A cablegram from “Governor-General” Ide at Ma- nila to Washington announces that an American official, supervisor of a province in Oriental Ne- gros, “died from hyperpraxia” Of Aug. 12. Perhaps the Surgeon-General knows the nature of this hitherto unannounced Philippine disease, whose character is Greek to most people. Literally translated out of the Greek its name seems to in- dicate that the supervisor of Negros attempted to play the game with the limit off, got too busy, in- dulged the strenuous life, undertook to be the whole thing, could not let well enough alone, bore the white man’s burden, engaged in benevolent assim- ilation, kept butting in, insisted on being It and overdid things generally. Reference to the largest gnd most authoritative Greek lexicon in St. Louis shows that the “hyper” part of thise new and formidable disease means “over,” while the “praxia” part means “doing,” from a verb which means “to do.” Hence, on the face of the official report of the hyper-constitutional “Governor-General,” the supervisor of Negros died from “over-doing”—something or other, or things in general. On consulting a Latin lexicon, equally as Lares and authoritative as the Greek, it appears that in the time of the imperial Caesars, now dead and turned to clay, after suffering from hyperpraxia without knowjng it, men had a Latin disease of almost the same kind as this new Greek disease in the Philippines. It was a disease of playing with the limit off and they gave it its name by putting together two words which mean that the man who has the symptoms and results of the disease “coming to him” has paid no attention to the limit. This disease was supposed to attack morals first. In English the Latin word for it is translated “trans- gression,” and in a certain ancient writing it is said that the way of the man who goes over the limit is hard. As an official disease in the Philip- pines, “hyperpraxia” seems to be chronic. The killed and injured in bargain counter rushes make no such lists as the autos show, but the St. Joseph ten-cent-store tragedy indicates that the year may develop a considerable roll. ee¢

FISH WHICH SHOOT. From Harper’s Weekly. An official of the United States Fish Commission in speaking of oddities which may be observed In the habits of scaled water dwellers, recently said: “Of course no one now believes the Old story of the porcupine being able to shoot his quills, and few would believe it if told that there are some fish that obtain a large portion of their food by ‘shooting’ it, but this last is the truth. One of these is the toxote, a fish in the rivers of Malaysia, He ts known as the archer, or spitting fish. Although aquatic, the toxote has a taste for winged insects. When it sees an insect upon an overhanging branch it approaches as near as may be, fills it mouth with water, and then, closing its gills, raises Its snout above the surface and shoots a long ae of water at the insect. The toxote rarely misses Its aim, and the game is washed off the leaf and into the river, “In Java many people preserve the toxote in aqua- riumis, obtaining considerable amusement from watch- ing it shoot at the files that come within range. “Another of the ‘shooting’ fish is the chelinous,

which uses @ jet.of salt water, but which Is far less @zpert than the toxote.”

Many of the most interesting British relics of an- cient days are the oaks, the annals of which take us Some that are still living were centuries old in the days of Harold and his Nor- man conqueror, and many have been growing and gazed upon by Roman Caesar. Herne’s oak, which the writer saw in Windsor Park before its fall in 1863; the Newland oak, mentioned in Domesday Book, and the still more gigantic oak at Lowthorpe, with a circumference of 55 feet. Then there is the Major oak, in Sherwood Forest, said to be 1500 years old, under ,whose broad branches Robin Hood and his merry band held their revels, and the Winfarth- ing and Bentley oaks, believed to be equally ancient. There was a celebrated tree by Kentish Town, known as the Gospel oak, and another at Addlestone, beneath which Wicliffe preached and Queen Eliza- beth dined. The Cowthorpe oak, near Wetherby, it is claimed, is more than sixteen hundred years old, and the largest in England, measuring 78 feet in cir- cumference. But this was exceeded in age by Domaray’s oak, in Devonshire, destroyed by a severe storm in 1703, which enjoyed the distinction of hav- ing lived through twenty centuries!

STRANGE INDIAN REMEDIES, From the Madras Mail. Great virtues are ascribed to the claws and horns of certain animals. Tiger’s claws are in great de- mand with the common people. One or two claws may be worn Near the loins, but should one possess a larger number the fortunate owner makes a gar- land of them and wears them around his neck. Deer’s horn ground into fine paste is an excellent baim for pain and swellings. A more curious use is found for the same substance; it is sometimes made into a4 powder which is supposed to aid the growth of stunt- ed women. The joints taken from the long and slen- der tail of the black scorpion are supposed to keep iliness at arm's distance when children wear them on their waist thread. ° A red or swollen eye is cured by having it touched A remedy which 1 have seen applied with considerable effect in more than one epileptic fit is to place a bunch of Keys in the palm of the sufferer.

WON LONG STRUGGLE

He Has Always Been Friend of the Unknown Play-

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, Aug. 18.—Andre Antoine, who has been heartily welcomed at the New Royalty Theater in London, has done more for the contemporary stage and for dramatic art than any man, with one exception—Henry Irving. He is a curious personality—the son of poor parents who lived in a grimy suburb, and even now he has a brother who is a sort of superior head waiter in a Montmartre cabaret. Antoine began life as a clerk in the Paris Gas Co., where he earned a sal- ary of $20 a month, rising by easy stages to $40. If he had stopped there he might after 20 years’ service, be earn- ing his $0 monthly by now; but he changed his ways, and has become di- rector of the second theater in France —the Theatre de l’'Odeon—at a salary of $10,000 a year. In appearance theré is little of the actor in Antoine, and 1 am not sure that he could ever be called a really great actor. It is his power of making other people act, his wonderful knowl- edge (acquired by the hardest of hard work) of everything pertaining to the stage, and his absolute originality of thought that have made him what he is, and made him, too, the greatest boon to the stage of FYance since France has had a stage at all. Starting while he-was still in the gas company with a semi-amateur troupe at a theater in Montmartre. Antoine made a mess of things financially. But he realized how a Theater Libre might be founded, and he has founded it. The Elysee des Beaux-Arts was taken during the summer closing. A number of unknown young actors and play- wrights gathered round Antoine's ban- ner of revolt, and performances of very daring pieces were given to select audi- ences of subscribers. The sojourn at the Beaux-Arts was very short. as was that at the Gaiete Montparnasse, which fol- lowed: but meantime the movement ined further support, and Antoine and is companions were enabled to secure the Theater des Menus-Plaisins. There they stayed till 1895, varied by tours in the provinces and abroad. The activity of Antoine and his co- operators may be judged from the fact that during the first three seasous of the existence of the Free Theater no fewer than 1% hitherto unperformed works were staged. The records of later years were not quite so great, but still the number of new pieces produced was prodigious. Some of them are still re- called as having attained great success. Starts Up the Ladder. Meamwhile, the managers of Parisian theaters had come to recognize the amateur manager’s great abilities, and urged thereto perhaps by the fact that; the Free Theater did not bring much grist to the mill, Antoine accepted an engagement at the Gymnase, where he created several celebrated roles Thence he proceeded to the Renaissance, and later to the Odeon, where he eventually became eo-director with Paul Ginisty. His co-directorate did not last very long, as after 17 days he handed in his resig- nation, feeling that he n ed more scope to develop his ideas. Then he turned to the house which had been the home of the Free Theater. He was able to secure a lease for some years, and at once proceeded to im- prove the accommodation. The name was changed from the Salle des Menus- Plaisirs to that of the Theater Antoine. Success came quickly, and the house goon secured the reputation of provid- ing excellent fare for theater-goers ‘in the shape of plays dealing with the burning evils of the day and themes of up-to-date interest. Rising authors were encouraged to send in their manuscripts, and many thus obtained the long-sought opportun- ity of public performance. Some of the leading playwrights of the present day owe their position to the encouragement thus given by Antoine. Francois de Curel, Brieux, Jules Renard, Georges Ancey, Abel Hermant, Jean Richepin, Georges Courteline, Lucien Descaves, Maurice Donnay, Pierre Veber, and Leon Hennique have cause to thank An- toine, whose efforts to provide fresh food for lovers of the drama have never ceased. The Man and Mis Methods. On Anftoine’s stage if you bang a door the door bangs; it may not. be really solid, but the audience thinks it is. If somebody says, “Good gracious me, it is half-past 12!" a painted clock on the stage does not show a quarter to three. You never hear the stage hands. He has laid down thick carpets, and has trained his stage hands so that they change scenery more perfectly and more quickly than in any other theater in Paris. And in the same way he has trained every man and woman in his company. In the choice of his plays, too, he has been absolutely original. No au- thor has been played at the Theater Antoine, or will be played at the Odeon, because he has a great name. Antoine would refuse a bad play from Shakspeare himself if Shaks- pears were alive today and sent it n, and he would play a good one by anybody whether he knew the man or not. It is his boast that he reads everything submitted to him, and I know from my own knowledge of the man that he works from 5 in the morning until after midnight almost every day. Realism at Any Coat. Antoine at rehearsal is a marvel. He sees everything, is everywhere, and while allowing the members of his troup latitude in individuality, is down upon them like a cyclone for any unnecessary mannerisms out of keeping with the part. I remember one instance in which his love of re- alism was comical. M. Signoret, in a rage (a play rage) knocked a vase off a small table on the stage. That is to say, the vase had been wired to the table, as stage vases are, and vase and table had gone down to- gether. “In future,” said Antoine, you will have the vase upon that ta- ble loose, but"—and he turned to Signoret-——“smash something @ise if roa don't happen to be near it; only iit hard, in case it happens to be wired,” I think this paints the man. At the Odeon, Where he begina work in the autumn, Antoine should do great things. He is the nearest living man to that great man who died but fre- cently. He ts a different one, but he is S@reat, and will be greater, and, like the late Sir Henry Irving, he has S| “SPIRIT” VISIBLE Detectives Spoil Mystery of Special to the Post-Dispatch.

. The dry leaves on the walks, the hint of haze at dawn and sunset and the shortening days are not the only heralds of the autumn. As sure a sign as any of these are the engagements that tell of the summer days that have been and ate and foretell bridal days that are to be in the autumn. One of the first and: interesting of these is that of Miss Ethel Virginia Shipman, beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Shipman of Compton Heights, and James Adkins Jr. The marriage will take place in the opal month, October. Miss Shipman is a graduate of the Cen- tral High School. An out-of-town engagement that holds interest for St. Louisans is that of Miss Louisa Brunner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Brunner of Cleveland, and William Slade Voris of Akron. Mr. and Mrs. Brunner and their family lived in St. Louis until recently and Mr. Brunner was one of the deacons at the Pilgrim Congregational Church. Miss Brunner is a handsome young woman. The engagement of Miss Eleanore C. Brandt of Aubert avenue and Henry A. Westphale of Illinois is announced. The marriage wiil take place in September. Mre. Henrv of Rosenheim’s waist department has just returned from New York. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Arnold Broesel of New York sailed Thursday on the Gross- er Kurfuerst for Europe. The Atlantic yoyage will be the beginning of a honey- moon journey abroad, which is to last a year. Mrs. Broesel was before her marriage, June 6, Miss Mae Wheeler, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Wheeler of St. Louis.

' Millions Just To Be Clean HE mammoth Pabst Brewery is a model of neatness that might well be taken asa pattern by other pure food manufacturers. Mill: 1oOnsS have been spent on the Pabst plant to make the manufacture of Pabst Beer absolutely clean, pure and wholesome. Pabst Beer is not fermented in open vats as is usual in breweries—but in sealed tanks where no air but pure, filtered air can reach it. Pabst Beer is not cooled in rooms where men walk in and out, but in specially constructed sealed coolers where no hands can touch it, no breath of foul air can taint it. Pabst Beer is stored and aged only in specially constructed, hermetically sealed tanks that are kept pure and clean by rinsing only with filtered water. Absolutely no chance is taken for the slight- est contamination Pabst Beer, in a wf dirt, germs or tainted di air. ition to being the cleanest beer, is a pure beer—the most wholesome beer because made only from the ‘‘Pabst exclusive process eight-day malt,’ nutrition — the strength elements—of the barley, ’ whic’: retains all the rich and health building and the exclusive Pabst rocess of brewing with eight-day malt makes Pabst Blue Ribbon the perfect beer in age, purity and strength.

Young Men Great Opportunity for Self-

Baseball Atffords -

GREAT ADVANTAGES BASEBALL OFFERS

~~ a — Poor Young Men May Educate, Grace and Fit Themselves to Be Men in the World, Endowed With All the Graces and Glories Theat Learning and Travel Can Bestow. By J. B. SHERIDAN It may be that the finality of the oOp- portunity business and the professions offer young men is far superior to that which basebail, per se, can tempt them with. Yet, to the looker-on in society, it would appear that the practice of the profession of baseball offers to a young man of no inherited means opportunity for education, travel, culture, pleasure and enjoyment and final fitness for oth- er and more enduring calling, far be- yond those which business or the rigor- ous practice of the higher and nobler professions can afford. It may be all very well to say that the time spent in practicing the prefes- sion of baseball is lost, because baseball is not, for most men, a Nfelong and certain calling. At best it endures, for the mass of its disciples, but 10 years. In no case does it last over 20. And it leaves a man when he is in the veny zenith of hig mental powers, about the age of 40. Therefore wise men hold that he who gives 20 of the best years of his life to the practice of a profes- sion, which, to use a_ colloqualism, “dies under him” at 40 is arrant idiocy. And so at first blush it would appear. But let us investigate and see if there are not what philosophers denominate “compensating circumstances” in the case. Baseball and Education. Let us take the average young man of poor, but honest, parentage, reasonably well-to-do, some breeding, good taste, thorough public school education and large manhood. His father, a man of the great. $1200 to $2500 a year class, can spare the mon- _ @y te send him to collega The boy may, if he chooses, work his way through. Might he not work it as well Playing baseball ag otherwise? Happily the college season and the baseball season are antithetically antipo- dal. Playing professional basebal] wil] not interfere with college duties. From October until June is the college vear. From May until October is the baseball year. All the student need lose is one month of baseball. He has five months for business and seveh for study. let us go farther. The average young man whose father sends him to college gets his under and post graduate courses and at once proceeds to busi ness or profession. Six or seven years / ds the limit of his student life. There is no such limit on the first-class base- ball player who would educate himself. Let us suppose that our baseball-stu- dent has taken his under and post grad- uate courses. We shall preteng that | fhe shall have begun his college career _ @t 23 and finished it at 28, ‘that is, gone: as far as he can very well go in the pursuit of knowledge at college. Yet, as things go in this country he is really too young to achieve immedi- ate prominence or great success in law, medicine, the arts or sciences. We all know of the great hardships very young professional men have from time im- memorial and will until the end of al! things be obliged to endure. It is rare- ly indeeq that a man is of any value in . the professions or applied sciences and “} ’ ; arts until he is over 30. And whereas the average man who is #ent to college by his father must pro- ceed to practice as soon as he completes his course, there is no such stress of ne- cessity upon the sudcessful first-class baseball player who is educating him- self. M Especial Opportunities. It ig the habit of young men of means '“who have taken a veryy complete ’ ; posted by post-graduate courses in Eu- see the sun rise upon Ben Benvoirlich ——Aaaaqa == Ce ae a - course at American colleges and who have a sober and earnest purpose ‘in to supplement their American ed-; #4 London. is denied be- av- rope. This great advantage ail but the affluent. It is entirely yond the reach of the student of erage means. Not so the young lawyer, architect, physician or engineer who has educated himself while playing baseball. If he is a first-class man—we are not dealing with second-class ones here—he will be ate his very best at 28, in receipt of a Salary of around $3000 for six months’ work in the summer. Of this sum it will cost him not more than $700 to main- tain himself. This is a liberal estimate, for during one-half of the period he is engaged in playing baseba!) his ex- penses are defrayed by his club. With reasonable economy—and we are speak- ing of a level-headed young man—they should not exceed $700 for the six months of bascball play. This will leave him $2300 for the rest of the year. Ile is now through college, educated, master of a profession in as far as col- leges can make him_ so, handsome, strong, mentally and physically, of fine tastes and good habits. What can he do? Oh, what cannot he do? If he is a physician he can go to Berlin, Heidel- berg, Vienna, London and Paris, and study under the most renowned chiru- geons of the age. If he is a lawyer he can proceed and pore over the inter- national codes in the Inner Temple at lie car read the manuscripts of Blackstone and of the Code Napo- leon. If he is an architect he can visit Florence, Rome, Pisa, Naples and re- gard the masterpieces of Angelo. He san see London and the best that Rey- nolds ever did. Paris, its arches and palaces will be under his eye. He ‘can see the ruins of the Pantheon and the famed Temple of Diana. He can see the columns of the Ptole- mies digged out of Eevntian sands and the Tower of Babel uncovered in Chal- dean lanes. ’ The Glories of Travel. If he has an eve for art what may he not see? The choicest of the Greek sculpture in Athens, the noblest of Ro- man art-in the Vatican and Louvre. He may travel from London to 8t. Peters- burg, from Moscow to Lisbon regard- ing the greatest works of Millais, Ver- estchagin, Rembrandt, Rubens, Angelo, Dinoretti, Raphael and how many painters whose names come not so read- ily to the lisping tongue? Be hé a man with a leaning to his- tory, what great fields, statutes ani objects are beyond his vision. He can visit every field from Tours to Mukden, from Cannae to Sedan. He may sit in the chair of Charlemagne and kiss the toe of him who ajts in that of St. Pe- ter. He may visit the castle where the aithful Blondel found the lion hearted Fine of England, or trace the rad steps of Bonnivard thypugh Chillon's awful cells, where the bare feet of the patriot wore the cold stone of the dug dungeon into deep holes. He may sa'l the Bay of Actium, where, turning his back upon the empire of the world, Mad Anthony abandoned the world and fol- lowed the daughter of Ises up the cursed Nile. He may see where Abou- kir was fought and Nelson died, the spot whgre shone the sun of Austerlitz and where set that of Waterloo. ' Should his fancy lie along the lines of literature, what glory waits him. He may hie, happy as ever lover Wil- liam did, across the fields from Strat- ford to Shottery, where dwelt fair Anne Hathaway. He may sit and breathe air in the room where was born the great- est hand that ever penned the language

|of human beings. A bit north he may

The recent excellent work of Mc- Graw’s star twirler.\Christy Matthew- son, has led many students of this young man’s work in the box to pre- dict that he will yet win another pen- nant for the Giants.

visit Newstead Abbey, aye, see the very Spot upon which the plowshare of Burns impaled the daisy, his ‘‘bonny gem.’’ He may visit the hall of Holyrood, the home of the lovely Mary, Queen of the Scots, and Fotheringay Castle, where

her fair head went meekly upon her cousin’s brutal block. He may conjure up visions of Bothwell, the grim Darn- ley, the weak,’ and Rizzio, the beloved, of Elizabeth, the hated. He may think he sees my great Lord of Leicester and the ungovernable Lord of Essex. He can sce the thrones of empires, and the graves of republics. The scepter of Nero and the crown of Caligula shall be toys in his hands. The sword of Napo- leon and the breast plate of Richard Coeur De Lion shall be as his very own. He may see the tents of Mahommed, the palace of the Cid, the citadels of the Caesars and the cerements of the Czars. Music Hath Charms. And if his, taste lie in ways of music, what glories may he not ta8te. Caruse every day in Tristan and Iseult, Aida, Faust or Lohengrin. Melba and Sam- brich, Eames, Plancon and Gerhardy on the ‘cello. He may hear the choristers of St. Paul's and the boys of St. Peter's. the male voices of Christiana, or the peasant girls of La Vendee. Then there! is Bayreuth and Frau’ Richard, Wales and its church choirs. He can list to the bells of Shandon or the tones of those in the Bastilica at Rome. He may take his piccolo and make Goldsmith's pe- destrian tour of the continent and find out if the inhabitants of Italy are truly blest. Indeed, what may our hero, with $2400 in his pocket every year, not do. He can see the sights of the Parisian boule- vards and of London streets, of Berlin strasses and Vienna cafes. He can loll on the quays of Rotterdam or promenade along the Riviera. He can chase the fox in Ireland, the wolf in Siberia. the duck in Norway, the deer in Scotland, the tiger in the foothills of the Himalayas and the lion in the heart of Africa. He can seek the primroses of March in Eng- land and scale the Andes in search of a new orchid. He can sail the seas and climb the hills and dwell in the valleys and cities of the world when he is not playing ball. If his taste should run to soft eyes and warm red lips, can he not fete it satie- ty. From the blue eyes, raven hair and red cheeks of Ireland to the brown skin and black eyes of Andalusia how he can revel! He can kiss the descendants of Flora McDonald in the highways, the sisters of sweet Di Vernon in the by- ways, tle may greet the cousins of Sarah Curran in the bogs, la filles of La Pom- padours and De Maintenons in La Belle France, ang the glorious goddess-eyed signiorinas of the blessed Italia, the land of suns. He can see hair fairer and eyes darker than ever Titian paint- ed, skin whiter than the milk of Alpine chomis and eyes’ bluer than _ bluest Italian skies. He can, like little Koo- mai, see the elephants dance and the cobras bite. He can follow the sisters of Lucille de Nevers down the Sacred River of Hindoostan and pay court to Empress Ann in the citadel of Pekin. He can test the laws of the llamas and the power of the Pope. He can seek the sheik of the desert, the king in his halls. ; Having done all this, our professional muy return to America, give up base- bali and practice his profession. Is He the Worse of It? And I ask, do you think he shall be any the worse of the years he spent playing baseball for revenue that ‘he might see the world for gain? Of course you will not find many base- bull players with tastes which will lead them to walk alone in the Grand Tri- anon and meditate upon the instability of human greatness or stand beneath the Pyramids and think of the 41 cen- turles that look down upon them, Young men, alas, seldom possess these tastes. Many inen spend lifetimes iling up money to satisfy them while these suanderers of time, money and Oppor- tunity are much more pleased in the mvtier grocery than in the Acropolis, fhid the neighboring saloon infinitely ner than a nignat at Maxim’s, or on the Grand Canal at Venice—a glass of steam-brewed beer far more preferable to one of lacrima crystal, squeezed from Tuscan grapes by the white feet of laughing giris, whose sires . once marched on Rome. It is al] in men and in their lifetime. Omar Khayaam, in his Rwubyait says we should not very much heed or wor- ry about the other world. For with all the talk we have heard of it, no one has ever come back to tell us what It is like. What would be the use? Why is it that we old men of 35 cannot go back ten years and tell the young men of 25 how things are in this ten-year older world of ours? We have been trying to do it for But they wil//not let us.

SEASONS PONG STOPPED PARKER Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ? .—Kid Glea- son stopped Walter Parker of Chicago in the fourth round at the Broadway Athietic Club last night with a punch in the stomach. Parker had all the best of it up to the fourth round. In the third ne put Gleason down twice for the count, made him cover up and at times chased Gleason all around the ring. In the fourth Parker stepped out- side the ropes and was trying to bal- ance himself to keep from falling, when Gleason punched him on the jaw. The blow was a foul one and it made Par- ker groggy, but as soon as he could wei inside the ropes again he went at Gleason. They were mixing it up hard when Gleason landed the punch which put Parker out of the game. cota ateasepeiiveatnanns GENERAL SANFORD BLAMES JOCKCY PREC eee ee NEW YORK, Aug. Sanford was deenly disappointed ‘he defat of Ravenna for the Huron handicap. He blamed Hildebrand, who rede the filly, not because he was beat- er, but. because ke raced the mare on the inside next the rail. Gen. Sanford sems to think that the soil of the track is very deen there and that racing Ra- venna in that position caused her de- feat. In spite of the fact that Hildebrand Saved at least five lengths by squeezing his mount through the open on the back stretch, Mr. Sanford said: ‘In the future I want you to take the outside with my horses. Never come on the inside next the rail, no matter how much ground you can save. I don't care if you never win another race. | want you to follow these instructions. Racing next the rail is detrimental, I believe, to my horses chances, and 1 do not wish you to do it any more.” ¢2.—Gen. Stephen over

ity are names that have peculiar signifi- cance for bdseball enthusiasts. -McGinnity has been nicknamed the ‘Iron Man,” an appellation thatehe has earned by his faculty of endurance pitching day in and day out without ap- parently injuring his effectiveness one way or another. McGraw may be the brains of the Giants, but Christy Matthewson is the biggest winning element, and it is on him that the eyes of the baseball popu- lace are now fixed while the New York- ers are making their run down the stretch for the orifiamme of the Na- tional League. With Matthewson in condition to pitch winning ball, their strength is enhanced 35 per cent: with him out of it the Giants appear to be out of the race. The big fellow never looked better. He has the old confidence that was char- acteristic of him. McGinnity and Mat~- thewson are going down hill. Thursday Matthewson was asked what was the greatest number of winning games he had pitched, and what he con- sidered. his greatest pitching perform- ance. ‘‘My greatest sequence of victories was 15, in 1904,”’ said Matthewson. “My greatest pitching -performance and the one that gave me the greatest personal pleasure and delight of my baseball career Was my performance against the Cardinals back in 1901, July 15, when I shut them out withgut a hit or run, my first performance of that character. tees then I have struck out 16 St. Louis batsmen in a game, shut-out Chi- cago without a run or hit and figured in the winning of a world's champion- ship, but none of these feats filled me with the elation that my first no-run no-hit: performance did. . “Tf I remember right, played on a nt an e of the series. “ome of the players we had with us were Van Haltren in center, Al Selbach in left, and Charlie Hickman at short, I mention these men particularly becaus* they performed marvelously in the field, making stops and throws that enabled me to add my name to the no-hit no- run Hist. Willie Sudhoff was twirling for St. Y.ouls, and he er a good ume, as I remember weil. e eThe idea that I might pitch a no-hit game did not enter my head until about the fifth inning, when the thought sud- denly flashed into my mind. These fel- lows can’t hit me today, I believe I will try and keep them from getting a hit. ‘‘Rather a nervy proposition when you consider that I had such hitters as Jesse Burkett, ——— Heidrick and 2atsvy Donovan against me. “4 ‘got going all right until the sev- enth, when Wallace hit a scorcher . Hickman. The ball was in deep shor and there did not seem to be a chance to get it. He raced back, however, ee a clean pick-up and picked his man a first.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SI’'RINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 18.—Next to the lynching trials, the principal topic of public discussion just now in Springfield is the coming election on the question of local option which is set for Sept. 4. The quesiton of local option has been hanging fire here for about two years, but during the past month the cam- paign has been on in earnest, and the topic has become one of great interest, particularly because the liquor men for the first time express themselves as be- ing by no means sure that they will not have to go out of business as soon after Sept. 4 as their various licenses, expire. The question of prohibition has been ruised here before. In fact, the city vuted on the question once, and the temperance forces were defeated. Two causes are responsible this time for the worry of the liquor men. One is the activity which the women of the city have taken in the present cam- paign, and the other is the uncertainty of the negro vote. When the matter was up for public decision before there « " 7 ete OE Ne Nh etal ems Paes; 7 AOR t Ai Ae wee , hi Adee xs a b — ee ~ A) “ sh Bie (AMET LE TPR THE WAS —" (Oat tw ~~ ty a:4 ha hte LAr 3 . ms - % a e » “ % ; “e fe _ . ~“

colored population went practically solid edi ir sited ity 4 r to extend you all the c1 edit you desire. Negroes Are Miffed. This time, however, they feel Aiffer- ent, acording to the saloon men’s own admissions. Of late everything that happens here in Springfield is traced in some way or other directly or indirectly to the mob last April, and by a round- about course, this sentiment of the ne- groes in regard to local option is harked back to that night. This is how the pol- iticilans explain it. ~ Before the trouble which ended in the lynching there had been a saloon called the Black Crook, located in an alley just off the public square where the lynching took place. This saloon had been prac- tically the only place near the center of the city where the negroes could drink, as the other saloons would not serve them. It happened that the license of this place expired only a few days after the hangings on the square. The authorities, dictated by the public sentiment at the time, refused to grant another license, and since then the colored citizens have been without a resort of that kind near the square. This caused the negroes to become an- gry, and the reform element among them, particularly the preachers, have taken advantage of this feeling to make their campaign for prohibition all the more active. They predict that the re- fusal to grant this place a license after the lynchings will have the effect of making a great many negroes give their votes on the side of local option. Hard Work by Women. The vote of Springfield is about 6850, and it is estimated that about 12 per cent is cast by negroes. The attitude of the women is another thing that is worrying the liquor men. The women have’ taken an active part in the campaign for local option, hav- ing helped to circulate the petition upon which the special election was granted. They have attended the meetings, and many of them have expressed the de- termination to do genuine electioneering work at the polls on the day the ques- tion is put to a vote.

In the undercurrent ‘of financial talk from the East, the gist of the Ramsey proposition is that he has been at work for the Gould interests on the plan for Wabash extension east of Pittsburg ever since he left the Wabash as its president and that the first announce- ment in St. Louis of his plans to build a railroad over the Allegheny Moun- tains from Pittsburg to Philadelphia, made exclusively in the Post-Dispatch, and authorized by Mr. Ramsey, was the first intimation the public had that the Gould interests have triumphed signal- ly in locating a line through the anthra- cite and bituminous coal fields of Penn- sylvania to New York and the Middle Atlantic seaboard. For some reason, before unknown, but now understood in Eastern financial centers, during the earlier part of the week and just previous to the announce- ment of the Ramsey Trunk Line across Pennsylvania, Wall street financial owers were sending out private letters n which the railroads which will form Mr. Gould's transcontinental line were specifically mentioned as desirable stocks for investment. But these let- ters contained no intimation of Mr. Ramsey's plans to extend the Wabash to the Atlantic. The last the public heard of Messrs. Gould and Ramsey was the published details of a war between them over the policy and accomplishments of the Wabash on the Atlantic seaboard plan, which Mr. Ramsey executed, wetting the Wabash into Pittsburg. The row in the Wabash family fol- lowed and Mr. Ramsey retired from the road. Mr. Gould also left the ex- ecutive offices, and Mr. E. T.

The Gould transcontinental also enjoys the advan- s of direct connection with the great lakes and independent gulf export ter- minals. At Mr. Ramscy’s office in this city it was stated that the understanding is that constructior’ on the Pennsylvania lines which Mr. Ramsey proposes to consoli- date will be commenced within 3% days after the consolidation.

TEXAS DEALS BLOW TO RUBBER TRUST. Attorney-General Refuses to Reduce Price of Lands, _ AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 18.—Judge John G. Griner of Del Rio and C. D. Woodruff of New York, representing the Conti-— nental Rubber Co., had a conference with Assistant Attorney-General W. B. Hawkins in regard to the latter’s rul- ing made some time ago that guayule shall be classed as timber gy the State Land Commissioner in disposing of land upon which it grows. Judge Griner and. Mr. Woodruff urged that the ruling be rescinded. They made a long argument in support of their ap- plication for a reconsideration. Mr Hawkins declined to change his opinion — and his ruling that guayule, martjole and kindred rubber shrubs shall be classed as timber will continue fn effect, The mininmum price at which timber lands shall be sold is $5 an aere. Jinige Griner and Mr. Woodruff claim that this price is exorbitant. They say the West Texas lands will not yield to ex- ceed one-half a ton of guayule. acre and that the shtub would sell $17 a ton. The expense of getting it. out, transporting {t to sriciaal iced etc., would be considerable. — It is understood that had the Attor- ney-General’s department rescinded its ruling classifying guayule as timber the rubber interests represented by Judge Griner and Mr. Woodruff would have ac- quired the lands under the dry glaze clossification, paying the minimum price of $1 per acre for same. They. also had another plan for getting the guayule on the lands, but they did not care to say what it is at this time. ue | Judge Griner said that the plans ot the parties whom he represents to estab- lish rubber factories in West Texas wit probably be abandoned. : ~~ |,

Kane # acfires of land about ten miles down the Spokane River, on which he is The price wap*s2 -@n acre, and Mr. Korner estimates that c will cost $2000. . Speaking of the enterprise, he said: ; “Fish raising can be made one of the most profitable industries in the coun- try for the capital invested, and I am surprised that so few have undertaken it. Iam familiar with the Government's method of hatching fish, and with the eggs that I can secure from them as a _ ®tarter it will be no trouble to stock my pond. “On the land I bought there is a per- petual spring, which flows through a vine and empties into the Spokane er. It is not a particularly large spring, flowing not more than 100 gallons minute, and the ravine through which passes is level for a distance of per- aps one-fourth of a mile, making It * possible for a dam 15 feet high to back or og for 600 feet and about forty feet e “IT will raise’ principally game fish, trout, pike, bass, etc., being careful to -YTaise varieties between which there Is no antipathy. “There will be no income for two or ’ three years, but after that I can easily ' market 1,000,000 fish a year.

LONDON, Aug. 18.—A stained copy of® ‘TOBACCO CONTRACT TEST SUIT Association Seeks Damages | From Growers Who Sold Crop Elsewhere. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CADIZ, Ky., Aug. 18.—Messrs. Geo. E. and E. L. Ladd of this county, and Flack & Dabney, of Hopkinsville, to- bacco dealers, are defendants in a suit for 22050 that has just been filed in the Trigg Circuit Court by the Dark Tobacco District Planters’ Pro- tecitive Association of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. The plaintiff claims in the petition that after Geo. E. and E. L. Ladd had pledged their 1905 crop of tobac- co to the association that they vio- lated that contract by selling it to Flack & Dabney, and that when an injunction was issued against the de- livery of this tobacco to Flack & Dabney they came forward and agreed to let it remain in the asso- clation and pay the costs of the le- gal proceedings. The association agreed to this, and the proceedings were suspended, and at the May term of court the injunction was made permanent against them ever deliver- ing their 1905 crop of tobacco outside of the association. The plaintiff now claims that after this the Ladds deliyered said tobacco t6 Flack & Dabney, and thereby in- jured the association by an endeavor to weaken its influence, to the amount of $2000, and further pray for $50, which would have been about the amount of commission the asso- clation would have received for sell- ing this tobacco. Flack & Dabney were made parties to the suit be- cause the plaintiff claims they knew of all these facts when they accepted the tobacco.

Ac- cording to all the best marine writers tugs always churn through the Nar- rows. , It was a large seagoing tug, open- faced and low-necked, and it was going to sea. On it stood a party of gentlemen, who wore high hats and frock coats and breathed the soft-coal smoke from the tug. It was going out to meet William Jen- nings Bryan, returning from a trium- phal tour around the world to his native ' land. The committee gazed anxiously at the horizon. The tug churned and churned. Suddenly, ag if lifted bodily from the face of the waters, the bulk of a great ship bulked above the tops of the danc- ing waves. Tom Johnson wept tears of joy and deposited 100 shares of Cleveland street car stock in the sea as a votive offer- ing and to show his opposition to capi- tal. Later he pulled up the string tiled to it. Gov. Joseph W.

Cities the city, waterworks, municipal plants and im- provements of all kinds, St. Louis has reported a value of $21,408,000, against $20,613,000 for Boston: ratios of population both Boston and St. Louis average well with larger cities in this respect, it is somewhat surpris- ing that Cincinnati, with a smaller pop- ulation than either, reports salable prop- > crty of $43,828,000. This is exceptional among cities below St. Louis in popula- tion.

It is once more a-_relief to find that St. Louis releases a large part of this average strain. Business in St. Louis must provide for $132.95. less of municipal debt per family than the average in these 160 cities, large and small. The percapita city debt of Boston is $148.25 against $39.32 for St. Louis, $42.69 for Philadelphia, $28.68 for Chicago and return for this pressure on business are freedom from public disturbance, safety for the person of the individual, protec- tion for his property and for his peace in public, freedom from the worst dan- gers of disease, as far as they are pre- ventible; freedom from the worst effects of loose public morals, and, with these, public improvements in paved and light- ed streets, water supply and facilities for public education. With Boston as the pivot of the com- parison, chiefly because it is nearest to St. Louis in population, but incidentally because it has established itself a repu- tation for eminence in all the results of high intelligence, the facts, as the De- partment of Commerce and Labor at Washington report them, show St. Louis appear in getting the highest values from municipal government at the low- est cost to each citizen, they put 8t. Louis above Boston and other noted cities of the groups having more than a quarter of a million population. It is still certain that there is room for improvement in St. Louls and also that the improvement is constanttly go- ing on, or being loudly called for. But the comparative method discloses the fact that in health, conveniences of liv- ing, cheapness in getting results and in superior results already reached in the attempt to make the best possible city to live in and work in, St. Louis ranks much higher in fact than cities which have been more famous for all St. Louts has been working to realize.

REVIVES AN OLD LAW

Strict Statute Passed Seven Years Ago Never Tested in Court,

Special to the Post-Dispatch, TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 18.—Attorney- General Coleman is determined to rid

the State of the bucketshops, against running wide open in many towns. They may be abated as nuisances, and the operators compelled to pay a fine and sent to jail.” Frank Benefiel of Montgomery Cann ty, a member of the Legislature of 1897, was chiefly instrumental in getting the present bucket shop law enacted. It Was reported that the buc ket operators had raised a fund to kill the bill, but if they did they were afraid to attempt to spend it and the measure became a law. There never has been a test case under this law. Jail for Gambler, Also. The law not only makes it a misde- meanor punishable by a fine and im- prisonment to operate a bucketshop and to own a building in which such a shop is operated. but provides a similar pen- alty for the person who makes deals in one of these places. Section 1 of the law provides that every person “who shall buy, sell, exchange, or in any oth- er manner deal in grain, stocks, bonds, securities, provisions or other com- modities upon telegraphic or telephonic market reports without intending to or receiving the grain or other commodity, shall on conviction be adjudged ghilty of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine of from $10 to $500, and by impris- onment in the County Jail for not less than 30 days and not more than six months.”’ _The second and third sections provide

Similar punishment for the person who Operates the shop and for the per who owns the building in which the shop is operated. The law also provides that the places may be declared nuis- ances and abated by the Sheriff, Coun- ty Attorney, Attorney-General or any citizen. Perpetual injunction is provid- ed for and it is also providéd that the attorney beginning the action to abate the nuisance may be allowed an attor- ney fee. WOMAN OF 93 PREFERS WALKING TO CARS.

JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 18.—Wine to e—F the amount of 2,977,160 gallons, valued at Barnsley Crash—all linen—18 inches wide xtra heavy— $1,465,740, was exported from Missouri during the year 19, according to the report of State Labor Commissioner Ae derson, soon to be issued. It is esti- mated by Statistician Edmonston of the Bureau of Labor Statistics that at least that amount was also consumed in the State, making the total wine output for the year 5,994,320 gallons, valued at $8,921, 480. A tank built to hold the wine manu- factured in Missouri last year would be 10 feet square and 4 feet deep. To fill this tank a four-inch pipe, discharging a gallon a second, would consume 827 hours, or nearly eighty-three working days of 10 hours each. The wine contained in this tank would weigh 24,610,428 pounds, or more than 12.365 tons, and would float a battleship the sive of the Oregon. Wine is one of the eight leading liquid products of Missouri, aside from beer, which is separately accounted for. These liquid products, as a whole, for 190 sold for $5.160.250.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Aug. 18.—Sackville G. Leyson of this city is the first person in the world who has ever professed that he visited another planet, either in body or spirit. While in a trance in the presence of 50 members of the First Progressive Co-Operatic Psychological Association of Syracuse, of which he is president and founder, his spirit trav- eled 141,000,000 miles and back in 40 min- utes, he says, and visited Mars. He is now preparing to take a spikitual trip to the moon. Mr. Leyson lives at 131 South avenue, and has a following of about seventy- five persons, who meet twice a week to study psychological phenomena. While his trip to Mars was in progress, Mr. Leyson lay asleep on a couch in the center of the audience, which carefully watched his body and made notes of what he said while in the trance. He talked as rapidly as he could during the 409 minutes, telling what he saw, and held his followers” spellbound with amazement. To a representative of the Post-Dis- patch he gave the following description of his trip: “I was requested by the directors of the Psychological Association to make the trip to Mars. I put myself into a somnambulistic state and started on a long journey. In passing through our atmosphere, each different condition had its effect on my body, as noted by the audience. I went through a number of strata of air. Once I became purple in the face, showWing great pressure. ft such times, I seemed to be very excited, just as though I was passing through some frightful experience. “Having reached the outer extremity of our atmosphere, I seemed to pass through a dense bulk as of water, and at such times I gasped for breath. I became very cold and shivered until the @hole room shook. After penetrating this I reached ether; then my body be- gan to bloat and I again breathed witl: great difficulty, almost as if I was being smothered. Through Large Bodies of Fire. “IT came in contact with large bodies of fire, as it appeared, which I took to be meteors, and my body became very hot and the perspiration poured down my face. Then I began to get cold again and shivered once more. These balls ot fire seemed to leave a stream of flame behind them. Now I felt myself drawn rapidly from the earth's influence, and the earth lookeg like a globe covered with clouds and water. I seemed to be very high and an impulse drew me on and I passeG& @ number of what I call stars, but was not close enough to them to describe them. “Suddenly the blood seemed to rush to my brain and I felt myself getting as light as air. I seemed to float in a cir- cle and J] had the feeling as if I was falling and tried to grab something to hold onto. Some of my friends jumped to eatch me, thinking I was going to fall. Next, I was on top of a mountain and could look dround and see the strange world upon which I had landed. When I was approaching Mars, it looked like a big globe of fire, and it seemed as if I was about to plunge into a mol- ten mass. It was surrounded by blood- ned clouds mixed with others of green- ish hue. . ‘Looking down from the mountain top in the valley, I saw a number of per- sons. These I approached and found they were so large that I only came up to their knees. They wore no cloth- ing, being all covered over with hair. They had great big ears and noses like a lion, and only one eye, which was lo- cated in the middle of the forehead. When talking to each other their voices sounded like thunder. In general shape they were much like the men on earth. A peculiar thing I noticed was. their lung expansion was crosswise instead of lengthwise like ours. Their chest did not move up and down when breathing, but their sides moved"in and out like a bellows. “The air in Mars is much like ours and their functions were the same. Spread over the surface of the ground, which was rocky, was a springy and mosslike velvet about a foot thick. The trees all looked like rubber and [ saw none of which resembled ours. In an- other part of the planet was a white substance Which I thought was snow, but I found it was not cold and was soft and easy to walk on. “T saw an animal like a crocodile. with three claws on each foot, but it had no teeth. The upper jaw moved, but the lower jaw did not move. These animals live near the water and exist on both land and water. ‘Resides the big men there were a lot of little ones, who lived in caves in the ground. These had webbed feet and slipped over the ground in a way which looked as if they were skating. They could walk perpendicular walis like flies. Unlike thé big men, they had two eyes, one in each temple. The front of the face was flat, as they had no noses, but they had one hole in each cheek which performed the same functions. Their mouths seemed to be up and down and were on the fronts of their faces. They ate a fruit similar to an apple, but it had a black color. “The big men lived in houses which they formed out of rocks. I noticed immense transparent rocks. Looking down the deep chasm upon the rocks, I saw hundreds of big men working with some kind of machinery which did not appear to be made of metal. These ma- chines were guiding lights across the face of the.transparent rocks. It was like no light I have ever seen and was so bright and intense that I can't describe it. It looked more like a liv- ing fire and had a pinkish-yellow light. The rays, reflected from the transpar SPIRIT a tw OT! be by in te

He learned the trade of a mason, and at odd times perfected himself in his strange art. He was formerly associ- ated with the State Spiritual Associa- tion, but left this, and, in 190, founded the Psychological Association, of which he is the president. Leyson is at present developing nine mediums, and he expects to test their powers in public In a short time before an audience of scientific and profes- sional men. He has a daughter, Ma- tilda, aged 13, who, he says, has the same powers which he has. ‘There is positive proof,” said’ Mr. Leyson, “that we live when dead, and I have frequently seen the departed spir- its. They are around me all the time and I hold communication with them. The people of India are the farthest ad- vanced in occult science, and during the two years that I spent there I learned a great deal. I took nothing by suppo- sition, but had to have absolute facts.

Policeman Stinger, who was in a faster machine, overtook and arrested Charles W. Bernard of 1341 Union boulevard, who signed his own bond to appear Monday in_ police court on a charge of exceeding the speed limit. Stinger was in the new machine re- cently purchased for the use of the police in capturing violators of the speed law. Cooney was in the older machine, which is of smaller horse- power. Cooney’s chauffeur was Pat- rick Conley. The two automobiles were being driven along the Grand drive in ’For- est Park, near the Clayton road, when the policemen saw a car ahead of them running at a speed which they estimated at 25 miles an hour. Both gave chase. ' BUSINESS SECTION “AND ST! S

7 J — a HIGHWAYMEN ROB UNCONSCIOUS MAN

After trying to ‘convince a high- Wayman’s victim that he had not been knocked unconscious and rob- bed, the police yesterday gave out the details of the robbery and six burglaries committed Friday night. Nimrod D. Robertson, an insurance agent of 6402 Etzel avenue, says he was walking west on the north side of Bartmer avenue at 9:45 p. m. Fri- day and that as he passed a vacant lot in the 6200 bleck he was struck on the back of the head and knocked unconscious. When he regained his senses he missed a black leather waliet containing $5 and valuable pa- pers, and a watch and chain. A thief entered the home of D. P. Leahy, 3960 Lindell boulevard, through an insecure front window and ransacked the house while the family was asleep.

The police have dubbed this person the

Church, South, in Mokane, Callaway County, was held yesterday for the Federal grand jury under $500 bond. Payne went yesterday to his home in Mokane, 125 miles from St. Louis on the M., K. & T., following his arraign- ment before United States Commissioner Jeffries in Clinton. He was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal McKenna of Jefferson City after an investigation ‘by Postoffice Inspector Bunsen of St. Louis. He is charged with mailing im- proper letters, His case will be consid- ered by the Federal grand jury when it meets in Jefferson City the third Mon- day in October. None of the letters, which link the name of Rev. Mr. Chapman with that of Mrs. Alfred F. Klein, wife of a well- known merchant of Mokane, was signed by Payne, and he denies writing and mailing them. Writing Expert Accuses. The principal evidence on which the Government relies is the testimony of a hard-writing expert of Kansas City, who testified at the hearing in Clinton yesterday that six of the letters given to the authorities by Mr. Klein were written by Payne. Accused of A number of annoymous letters passed through the Mokane office éarly in the spring, addressed to prominent citizens. John Sanders, J. W. Ferree, J. C. Laps- ley, A. F. Klein, R. Earle Hodges, J. EK. Sanders, J. W. Adams and others re- ceived letters, while many others, writ- ten in apparently the same hand and containing the same charges were fonnd in various parts of Mokane. At the request of Mr. Klein Postof- fice Inspector A. D. Bunsen wag sent to Mokane from St. Louis to investigate, and his work led to the arrest of Payne. The matter had been investigated by the presiding elder of the church, who went to Mokane from Mexico. He was unable to reach the bottom of it, and took no aation. He had also received let- ters complaining of the preacher's atti- tude toward women of the congregation. Payne is married and has three children. Mrs. Klein is a pretty and attractive young woman. The charges made in the letters are vigorously denied by the minister and Mrs. Klein, and it was partly at their urg- ing that Mr. Klein took the letters he had received to the postmaster, who forwarded them to Inspector Fulton in St. Louis. Pastor Warned to Leave. A month ago a letter was received by Rev. Mr. Chapman informing him that his conduct had been such that he should not longer try to impose himself on the members of the church as a moral man. Letters followed in which the tone grew more bold and finally he was warned to leave the town under penalty of being tarred and feathered if he remained. Payne is said to have § followed Rev. Mr. Chapman on several occasions when he started out to make pastoral calls and sometimes to have kept watch after him through entire afternoons of church visits. Payne has engaged Harris & Hay, Fulton attorneys, to defend him. G. W. Pierce, a Mokane merchant, and J. F. Taylor, a farmer, are Payne's bondimen. HEAT PROSTRATES FOUR: WARM TODAY wn ae EE oe - Storm Cleared the Atmosphere, but Relief Will Be Only Temporary. Today's Forecast—‘Fair and con- tinued warm; light southerly winds.” A rainstorm that was unannounced, accompanied by a strong wind in some parts of the city, visited St. Louis last night, temporarily cooling the atmos- phere. The sky was overcast with black clouds of threatening aspect and there was a brilliant electrical display. The storm was most violent in the vi- cinity of Leduc street, in the 4700 block. Several trees were blown down across the street, fruit trees and grape arbors Were leveled and there was a heavy fall of hail and rain, which flooded the street. Only a small area was included in the disturbance. The storm made the sleeping good last night, but there is no prospect of any- thing but hot weather today.

Scenes at the“First Annual Outing” Given by Members of The House of Delegates at the Old Fair Grounds Y esterday THAT DUB OF A DRIVER, OUGHT _” THE FATMEN's RACE-

HOUSE OF D ELEGATES “SHY” $1000 AFTER FIRST ANN

The outing under the auspices of the members of the House of Delegates at the old Fair Grounds from noon to mid- night yesterday was attended by about 8000 persons, many of them prominent in the city's cfficial life and ward poli- tics. A program of racing, athletic, au- tomobile and horse show events was provided for daylight entertainment, and tarpaulins were spread in the old betting ring for dancing after nightfall. The event was planned as the ‘‘first annual outing.’’ No charge was made for admission to the grounds. The ex- penses were: to be covered by the in- come from ‘incidentals. Admission to the grand stand was 25 cents. Programs were 10 cents. There were four bars on the ground, as well as several ice cream stands and a lunch stand. Boys peddled peanuts and popcorn and lavatory privi- leges were rented out. “We calculated to do more than clear expenses,’” said Delegate Gazzolo, one of the promoters. ‘‘We intended to give the net proceeds to some worthy char- ity, such, for instance, as the Post-Dis- patch Free Ice and Pure Milk Fund.” “The event will net a deficit of about $1000,"" said Assistant Clerk Tom Leon- ard, late in the day. ‘“‘The members wil] have to dig into their private funds to make this good. We thought the bar receipts alone would more than cover the expenses, but they were extraordi- narily light. The event cost almost $2000 and not over 1000 persons paid ad- mission to the grand stand. The rest were ‘comps.’ “The rent of the ground ws $500 and we spent $450 to cut the weeds on the track and to clean up the stands. The prizes cost us about $500 and the music, three bands, $200. I don't think the Delegates’ outing will become a perma- nent fixture. I believe the events we designed for entertainment were too high-class and the waits between were not long enough. The bar did no busi- ness at all.” s Events Were Too Good. Ove? twe of the events were desimiwed to \@ ameatne. ot wes a race open only te home owne members of the House of Delegates e other was a foot race for brewer’ weighing over 200 pounds.

O’Brien dectared he used his in his ice and coal busiaess, mal every day in hia work as an exca- vation contractor. The ‘“‘wise ones” at once began to bet. The Stannard entry enjoyed an unac- countable popularity. One man in the stand offered a bet of $100 on him and Assistant Clerk Tom Leonard covered the wager. The race was one mile, the horses were driven in harness to light buggies and the ‘judges allowed all entries to stand without investigation. La. wr

Tim Maloney got away well in the lead with Kollas and Weeke far behind. UAL OUTING House Member Complains Fair Grounds Events Were Too High- Class and That They Won’t Pay Expenses, Despite Four Bars and Charge for Grandstand. : At the half they had caught Malo- ney and were about to pass him when Maloney whipped his horse, causing him to break. - He made no attempt afterward to steady his animal back to the required gait, but had him gallop all the way, passing the wire half a length ahead of Kollas. Kol- las’ horse ran a rod past the finish and then fell on the track from ex- haustion, recovering sufficiently to walk off half an hour later. Maloney was ruled out for run- ning his horse. Kollas was given first, O’Brien second and Weeke third. “It was you who lost me that race,” exclaimed Weeke to Maloney after the race. ‘‘My horse can beat Kol- las’, but you kept waving your whip in front of him and scared him.” “Aw,” answered Maloney, “your horse never got close enough to me to get scared at anything I did, and -you ought to be glad it didn't, or it me kp have dropped dead like Kol- as. “Why did I run my horse instead of trotting him?’’ said Maloney repeating Trackmaster Auil’s question. ‘‘Why, do you think I was going to let these dubs finish ahead of me? No, sir. I passed that wire first and you can disqualify me if you like, but I was first, just the same:’’ Delegate Stannard, whose horse came in next to the last, confessed after the race that his horse had been brought to St. Louis expressly to win that event. “IT paced him at the Waterworks track this morning and he went half a mile in 1:10.

The 60-yard foot race for brewers weighing over 200 pounds was won by Max Orthwein, weighing 2i1 pounds, with Eberhard Anheuser, 235, second, and Eugene Fried, of Stiefel’s brewery, 262, third. Anheuser was set back a yard for making a false start, but ran his opponent a close race. © “I think I'll protest the race,” he declared after the finish. ‘“Orthwein isn’t a brewer. He used to be con- nected with the Kansas City brew- ery, but it failed.” “Were you in that race?” asked a friend of Anheuser as, panting and erspiring, he was donning his col- ar. “No,” Anheuser. ‘I ran, answered to be sure, but I wasn’t in the race.” Automobile Breaks Down. fn the 10-mile automobile race a 40-horse power machine owned by George J. Kobusch and driven by Fred Hill broke down by blowing out a sparking plug after it had gone three miles and practically distanced its competitors, The spare plugs for the machine were carried by another 20-horse ower Kobusch_ machine, driven by Victor Tomas. The lighter Kobusch car won the race without discovering what had caused _ the breakdown: of the other automobile. In this race Ewing Hill, owning and driving a 12-horse power ma- chine had, on a wager, contracted to beat the automobile owned and dri- ven by Charles Scullin, son of John Scullin, by half a mile. He accom- plished the feat without difficulty. Superintendent Richardson, of the St. Louis Industrial School. formerly the House of Refuge, took 400 chil- dren from the institution to the out- ing.

Discovery of Peddler in St. Louis Believed to Indi- cate Smuggling,

What is believed to be an ,indication of wholesale smuggiling of Syrians af- fiicted with trachoma, a contagious dis- ease of the eyes, into the United States, across the Mexican border, has been discovered by United States Immigra- tion Inspector James R. Dunn. One Syrian, a St. Twouis peddler, who admits that he was smuggled across the border near Laredo, Tex., has been found by Inspector Dunn. He refuses, however, to tell whether any of his countrymen were smuggled into the United States when he waa. : Inspector Dunn has his inspectors searching for other Syrians who are af- flicted with trachoma. Thé Syrian who has already been found in St. Louts is John Shanadie Jacob. As soon as he was taken to Inspector Dunn’s office by a deputy, who recognized him on the street as a Syrian with trachoma, ¢he inspector had Jacob taken to a physi- cian’s office. Since that time Jacob has been under an oculist’s care and reports to Mr. Dunn every few days. - Would Be Good Witness. The inspector is not ready to say whether or not Jacob will be deported. His eyes are improving rapidly under careful treatment, and he may be a valuable witness for the immigration authorities if they can get him to talk. It was at first reported that he had given up a list of many of the 5) Syrians thought to have been smuggled across the border with him, but Mr. Dunn de- nies that Jacob has to date given any information that will aid the authorities in finding others of his race that should not be in the United States. Jacob came to the United States in February, 1904. At that time many Syrians applied to a steamship company in Naples for passage to America. Fifty of them were found to be afflicted with trachoma and they were refused pass- age. The Government*has become so stringent in enforcing the law against trachoma-stricken Syrians that the steamship companies have begun to re- fuse them passage. Zi It is said that the 50 were told they could go as far as Mexico and then ‘‘work their way’ across the border into the United States, but that the steam- ship company would take them no far- ther than Mexico. They accepted the passage to Mexico. There they scattered, but most of them soon found their way to Laredo, Tex. Across the Rio Grande River at the ‘rate, it is sald, of $12 a head, the Syrians were smuggled. Once _ across the border they scattergd again. All the Syrians are peddlers.

The boom extends throug the list of actual stocks. Union Pacific, which closed Friday at 178%, closed today at 184%, a net ad- vance of 5% points on the day, and of 214% points since Friday's opening. Southern Pacific closed at 90%, a net advance for the day of 3% points. Also seldom if ever has the Stock Exchange talked scandal as it is doing today. Charges of rank stock-rigging are made. So bitter did these accusa- tions become that today the following official statement was issued from the office of the Union Pacific Railroad Co. at 120 Broadway: aia “The board of directors of the Union Pacific and of the Southern Pacific met Wednesday and authorized action upon the dividend by the executive commit- tees. The committees, however, did not meet until Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock and formal notice of the decla- rations of the dividends was delivered to the secretary of the Stock Exchange before 10 a. m. Friday.”’ Joseph Mallon, assistant secretary of the company, added to this explana- tion that the announcement of the divi- dends was not made Thursday night because that would allow the London Stock Exchange to take advantage of the news Friday morning before the lo- cal market had. opened. He said further that the directors had considered it only fair to give the New York stock market the first opportunity for acting on the news. Mr. Harriman and friends were good to themselves at the same time, for they are credited with winning enormous millions. George W. Ely, secretary of the Stock Exchange, was asked about the delay in posting the dividend notices Friday, said: “I received these dividend notices about 10 minutes before the opening of the market. Owing to their extraordi- nary nature I did not post them on the floor of the exchange until I had veri- fled them from the secretary of these companies. ‘Tt required several minutes to get Mr. Hillar on the telephone. He, of course, verified the declarations. While this was being done we were prepar- ing the notices to be placed on the floor, on the posts of the companies in ques- tion. It was not later than 10:10 a m. when these notices left my office. A messenger hustled downstairs and posted them.”’ Mr. Ely said, in answer to a question that it was “somewhat unusunl’”’ for a company to send notices of declaration of a dividend to the Stock Exchange in the way which the Union and Southern Pacific officials had done.

out the fire zone, are little bet- ter off than. the thousands who are camping in the open squares. Thousands fled to boats in the bay and have attempted to seek safety on the water. There they are facing another danger in a severe storm. The surf is running high and it is feared many of the boats will be wrecked, adding to the already heavy death list. Fires Light the Coast. Night and day is alike along the coast. The gents stn of smoke from the burning buildings hides the sun and the fires themselves light harbors at night. Fortunately, coast shipping facilities were damaged, and the boats, such were at anchor in the herbors, able to move at will. As to the property damage, none of the messages so far clicked through here have attempted to do any more than fix the damage to the particular wc ec in which the send- er was pomtege | concerned. Few of them report their property safe, and nearly all of them speak of dan- ger from fire and promise further re- ports when shocks have ceased. There has been no attempt at reg- ular business transactions since the a the severe shocks Thursday n A rom all along the coast comes the story of continued shocks that keep residents from returning to their homes. The police and military are lending every effort of their scattered forces to aid the stricken people. Until the shocks cease, the storm is over and the fires burn themselves out, there can be no steps taken for per- manent relief or the gathering of de- tails to make known accurately the extent of the disaster. In most parts of the country the only communication is by mounted messengers, and these are delayed by landslides along the roads. The railroads have suffered great damage. A message from Devaras says that a train due to arrive there Thursday night has not yet come in. hat damage has been done in the lesser populated districts can only be surmised. A cablegram reports that the rich nitrate fields escaped damage, and that the shocks were lightly felt there. But from other parts of the country come reports of landslides that carried away the smaller communities on the mountain sides and ruined crops. The shocks were the mdst widespread ever noted on the coast, and for the first time many cities high in the Andes were shaken. At Andes City the shocks were especially severe, enough s0 to cause some damage to buildings. Every seismograph in the west coast cities, from which reports have been received, was dismantled and left no records of value. The volcano Tupanguto, on the Chile- Argentine border, was roaring Thursday, and the subterranean thunder was greatly increased during. and after tne shocks but no reports have been fe- ceived of eruptions. AMERICAN BUSINESS FIRMS FEAR LOSSES. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Business houses having connections in Valparai- so or the West South American Coast are unable to determine their losses, as nearly all mesages received give only {indefinite reports of damage, and all fear fire. The matter of the suspension of busi- ness will also figure into the loss to a great extent. As the exports from Chile are nearly all natural resources, the prospects of resuming business cannot be announced with accuracy until close investigations are made into the condition of the in- terior, the mines, ranches, nitrate beds and forests. American insurance firms have no di- rect interest in Chilean business, as the German companies took the bulk of that business many years ago, and _ the American firms have never sought it. The banking business is also largely in the hands of Bremen and Hamburg firms. (IKWOOD MAN I FATAL AUTO CRASH Anderson Gratz Exonerated After Cyclist Is Killed on Long Island.

NEGROES ROB - POLISH COUNT ON SIDEWALK Aged Man Beaten at Morgan and High Streets as De- tectives Approach.

ONE ASSAILANT CAUGHT

Nobleman Declares He Will Not Prosecute as It Would Be Revengeful.

MONEY SEWED IN COLLAR Man Who Fought to Free Ne- groes Loses Temper at Sight of Prisoner,

Charles Neuman of Dow, O. T., 71 years old, who says he is a member of the Polish nobility, was attacked at 8 o’clock last night at High and Morgan streets by two negro footpads, who knocked him down and were in the act of robbing him when they were fright- ened away by two detectives, attracted to what they thought was a fight. One of the negroes was captured after a chase of a block. His name is Wil- liam Massengale. Neuman came to St. Louls yesterday from Dow, where he says he owns min- ing properties. His title in Poland, he told Chief Desmond, is Count Peter Paul Von Potowski. He is a veteran of the Franco-Prussian war and the Civil War, in which he fought for the Union. These statemnents were obtained from Neuman by Chief Desmond after the robbery. They were made with aparent reluctance, and Desmond is satisfied they are true. Neuman says he is a brother of Bishop Neuman of Chicago. The ‘negroes made the attack on Neu- man as he was about to cross High street at Morgan. He resisted their demand for money, and they struck him repeatedly. As the old man sank to his knees they bent over him to search him. Detectives McFarland and Finan were walking north on Twelfth street, about half a block from the scene of the rob- bery, when their attention was attract- ed by the scrimmage. They approached at a run, and the negroes, hearing them, fled. Massengale ran north on High street, with McFarland in full pursuit. The other negro ran through an alley and Finan followed him. McFarland overtook Massengale at Franklin avenue. He says the negro had three silver dollars in his hand when arrested. Finan chased the other high- wayman several blocks, but was unable to catch him. When Neuman and the negro were taken to the Four Courts, the old man was closely questioned by Desmond. He gave a clear account of the attack on him. but was reluctant to discuss his family, and refused to tell his mission ihn St. Louis. When asked whether the $3 found in the negro’s possession was all he had with him, Neuman said it was not. He hadi more money, he said, sewed in his shirt collar. When the garment was re- moved Desmond's fingers did not detect anything resembling money in the col- lar, but Neuman insisted that it be torn open. Forgave His Assallantsa, Inside the collar were five $20 bills. They were so tightly and neatly fold- ed that it was practically impossible to tell, when the collar was sewn up, that anything had been placed in it. Neuman said he would not nrose- cute the negroes. “! forgive them,” he said. Chief Desmond urged vigorously against this. He urged that the ne- groes should be punished for the protection of other persons, but Neu- man insisted that such action would be revengeful. When Massengale was taken into Desmond's office for ident- ification, the old soldier’S®S wrath overcame his ethical quaima. “You black scoundrel,” he cried, trembling with wrath, ‘I fought witn Grant to free you. And this is the re- turn!” Neuman did not hesitate in identifying Massengale as one of the men who at- tacked him. But after the negro been led from the room he reiterated his unwillingness to prosecute. Chief Desmond says he hopes to persuade him today to take this step. A second negro, said to have been Messengale's «companion in the at- tack, was arrested by Detective Fi- nan at 11 p. m. at Fifteenth and Wash streets. He gave the name Fred Welker.

Wireless Telegraph Man Gets Million Dollar New Jersey Estate,

MADE FORTUNE IN A DAY

Rise of Union Pacific Stock Was Profitable for St. Louis Man.

REFUSES $50,000 BONUS

White Was the Original ‘‘Post- age Stamp Financier” Buying Bonds.

Dispatches from New York received last night by the Post-Dispatch an- nounced thai Abraham White of 6164 Washington avenue, president of the American De Forest Wireless Telegraph Co., with headquarters in St. Louis, has purchased the million dollar estate of the late John A. McCall, who was presi- dent of the New York Life Insurance Co. Mr. White did not buy the magnificent estate, located at Elberon, N. J., as an investment. He says it is going to be his home until he dies. As he sat at his ‘desk in his New York office yesterday his blue eyes twinkled with satisfaction over his purchase. He chuckled gleefully when a clerk came in and said that somebody had telephoned an offer of $50,000 more than Mr. White had paid for the property. _ “Tell him that a hundred thousand more won't get it, or, if you think he’ll take that up, make it two hundred thousand,”” said White. “I’m going to ad hold on and won't sell at any price. That is going to be my home until I die.”’ ti Got Place at Bargain. Mr. White was not very widely known yesterday except as an official of a owireless telegraph company. but he will be known hereafter. In 2 hours Mr. White made enough money to purchase and maintain the most gorgeous country place in America, the great palace built near Long Branch by McCall. The palace, erected on the crown of a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with its 5S acres of park and its wonderful furnishings, was formally transferred to Mr. White yesterday. What he paid for the place was not definitely stated, the sellers saying “‘Something under $500,- 000."" The actual price is believed to be in the neighborhood of $400,000. After he had signed a check Yor the property, Mr. White argued another check for $250, representing payment for five Jersey heifers, the last remnant of the blooded cattle which Mr. McCall had on the place. The tremendous bulge in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific stock on Friday made it possible for Mr. White to pur- chase this great country place. News or the sale spread through the financial district, and those who were only mod- erately rich before the Union Pacific bulge and were very rich yesterday, also aspired to ownership of the property. Mr. White was oflered $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 and finally $50,000 more than he paid, but every offer was turned down. Postage Stamp Financier. What made him chuckle was this: For years he had been dubbed the postage stamp financier in the Wall street dis- trict. He was the original Sam Byerly, the man who first bid successfully for Inited States Government bonds with n° capital except the price of the post- age stamps which carried his bids to Washington. It was just 10 years ago that he invested 44 cents in postage stamps, pasted them on a letter addressed to Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle, and awaited developments. He bid for about $8,000,000 of bonds at various prices and was allotted $1,500,000. These he disposed of at a tremendous advance, realizing nearly - $100,000 profit. That was his start as a financier. “T’'ve got a warm spot in my heart for postage stamp. bidders,” he: said, laughingly, to a Post-Dispatch cor- respondent in New York, “and more- over, I have proved it. Sam Byerly, the express company clerk who was smart enough to put in a bid for $5,800,000 of the Panama Canal bonds the other day, won't have to go back to his desk in the American Ex- ress Co.'s office when he re- urns from Europe. "T have had yerly elected vice peeecont of the Abraham White Bond o, ja new corporation. He will fill the bill. He has an expert knowledge of bond matters and has shown that he possesses the kind of business courage and judgment which ushes a man into the forefront these ays.” In St. Louls Mr. White owns some real estate. He bought the McKnight farm in St. Louis County from the Warfield estate for about $75,000, and is now erecting a $25,000 office build- ing in Clayton. STRIKE COAL VEIN.

Mrs. Fannie Anderson, 23 years old, an attractive brunette, formerly of 1016 Chouteau avenue, St. Louis, is in the Belleville Jail because she loved her husband, Holger Anderson, so much that she would not allow him to leave her at home. Mrs. Anderson and her husband were picked up in the railroad yards in Brooklyn, just after she had refused to ride with him to Chicago in @ box car. “The headlights on the engines glared so, and there were s0 many of them,”’ said Mrs. Anderson, “that I just was scared to death, and, when Holger started to lift me into a freight car, it looked so dark inside, I just wouldn't go0.”” A year ago, while in the Cooper In- stitute in New York, the woman met Holger Anderson, then a _ prosperous machinist. It was love at first sight, and in a few weeks they journeyed to St. Louis to visit Holger’s brother, Fred Anderson, of 1213 South Ninth street.

He returned to St. Louis. His presence drove away sick- ness and Anderson announced his in- tention of returning to work in Chi- cCagvo, Would Beat His Way. “Oh, don’t leave me alone here again,”’ pleaded his wife. Anderson explained to her that he did not have enough money to take himself to Chicago, and that he was going to beat his way there. “Well, I can do that also, can’t I?’’ argued Mrs. Anderson, but her husband explained that it would be impossible. She insisted, however, on accompanying him, ‘‘Well, come along then,”’ said the husband, “but it’s a dangerous trip, and you'll have to be careful every step of the way.” “But I wanted to be with him,” she explained to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “and I was willing to do almost any- thing. But those terrible lights on those monster engines that were continually whizzing back and forth, and that black car—yes, I think it was that as much as anything that frightened me, scared me too much, and I just refused to go.’’ Anderson would not talk and was angry because his wife had said any- thing.” After their arrest in the _ railroad yards by railroad detectives, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were taken before Justice

BANKER IN PRISON, CITY DROPS NAME McCoy Avenue Is Now Milroy and Other Changes Are Expected. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RENSSELAER, Ind., Aug. 18.—The City Council has reconsidered. its for- mer action and granted the petition of the local G. A. R. Post that the name of McCoy avenue, the aristocratic thor- oughfare of this city, be changed to Milroy avenue, in honor of Gen. Robert H. Milroy, whose homestead was on that street at the breaking out of the war of the rebellion. The avenue was named a few years ago in honor of Alfred McCoy and his son, Thomas J. McCoy, ex-bankers. The latter is now serving a term in the Pen- itentiary for embezzlement and the for- mer is under 14 indictments on the same charge. The movement for the change of name was the result of the feeling against the McCoys, caused by the bank fail- ure. While Thomas J. McCoy was Mayor of this city the municipal waterworks lant was built, and his name appears n letters eight inches in height over the main entrance. After the failure of the bank there was a movement on foot to remove the name, but no official ac- tion was. taken. Vandals, however, artially covered a few of the letters, ot the name can still be clearly read from the highway. Prior to the failure, Tom was a rather active member of the Presbyte- rian Church, and was a member of the Building Committee which erected the handsome new edifice now used by the congregation. His name is chiseled in the corner stone with those of his co- workers of the committee, and when the crash came many of the congregation wanted the carved name of the former banker filled with mortar so as to com- pletely obliterate any trace of his con- nection with the organization. Irre- sponsible parties did try one night to chip the name so that it would be un- recognizable, but found the task too dif- ficult and gave it up. The Tom McCoy residence on the new Milroy avenue, which was dynamited several months after the bank failure, stil] stands as it was deserted, the ruins of a once elegant home.

REPUBLIC IS ORLY. HOPE FOR IRELAND John Devoy Declares Prospect for Home Rule Is Hopeless,

ENGLAND THE ARBITER

Nationalists Will Hold Picnic at Forest Park High- » lands Today. The fortieth annual picnic of the Irish Nationalists of St. Louis will be held at Forest Park Highlands this af- ternoon. The principal speaker will be John Devoy, the celebrated leader and editor of New York. Today's picnic promises to be the most successful.one yet given and the enter- tainment committee expects thousands of people to attend if the weather is fa- vorable. The Reception Committee and the men who have the entertainment in charge are Judge O'Neill Ryan, John J. O’Connor, P. W. Byrne, P. R. Fitzgib- bon, James L. Dawson, Father Demp- sey, Pather Thomas Aylward, P. J. Moynihan, Terence Martin, James Healey, Jeremiah Sheehan, Andrew Hoolan and Florence J. Curran. The address of Mr. Devoy will be giv- en at 4 p. m., in the theater. In speak- ing yesterday of the conditions of the Irish Nationalists Mr. Devoy said to a Pcst-Dispatch reporter: Home Rule Helpless. “I am not a Home Ruler, but a Sep- aratist. I believe that an Irish Repub- lic is the only practical solution of the Irish question, that it is as feasible as Home Rule and would cost the Irish blood, or money than the less satisfac- tory solution. “There are greater difficulties in the way of Home Rule than in the way of independence, because the Home Rule game must be played according to Eng- lish rules, with the cards stacked against Ireland and England remaining the final arbiter of all disputes. ‘‘Besides, there is no prospect at all of any measure of Home Rule worthy of the name. There will be no Home Rule if the word means self government. There will be a sham with a gilt label on it, which will not give to Ireland the amount of self-government enjoyed by any city or county of the United States. Gladstone’s Home Rule Bill was incomplete and unsatisfactory, but ev- ery Liberal statesman who says he is for Home Rule today, like John Mor- ley and James Bryce, asserts that no future Home Rule bill can come up to Gladstone’s. ‘“‘Now, Gladstone’s bill withheld from Ireland the right to legislate on l questions that are vital to the life of the country—the land, the revenue, the police and the militia. When the Glad- stone bill excluded these, and the few Liberals who call themselves Home Rulers now say the next bill must not give Ireland so much, what kind of an attenuated thing is it going to be, even if it does come? “But the strongest man in the prés- ent Cabinet, Herbert Henry Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as Sir Edward Grey, Mr. Haldane, Sir Henry Fowler and Lord Crewe are all declared enemies of Home Rule and would wreck the Ministry rather than consent to any kind of Home Rule. Lord Rosebery, who is not in the Cabinet, but dominate it, is the leader of this section and could break up the Minis- try at a moment’s notice. England in Trouble. ‘‘In spite of these things, the outlook for Ireland is very bright, because England's difficulties are thickening. “England’s difficulty is Ireland’s op- portunity’’ is as true today as it was in O'Connell's time. “England has never concession to Ireland that she could help making. She has always yielded either to force or to the menace of force, or because it was made very in- convenient for her to refuse, and she has neper wholly redressed any wrong or finally settled any question. So far as Ireland is concerned, English states- manship is only tinkering with the Irish question. “This is true of all the so-called “great boons to Ireland,” from Catholic eman- cipation to the so-called abolition of the Tithes to the disestablishment and re- endowment of the Irish Protestant church and the Gladstone land act of 1870, and from those to the latest ‘‘mes- Sage Of peace,”’ the Wyndham land act, None of these acts was a final sefttle- ment of the question involved and all of them contained provisions which cheated the Irish people out of something that belonged to them. “Landlord’s Relief.” The Wyndham land act ought to be, as it has been, called ‘‘The Landlords’ Re- lief Act.”’ It began with a monstrous injustice to the whole people of Ireland by saddling on them the cost of an arti- ficial inflation of land values. With this money:it bribes two classes of the peo- ple, the landlords and the farmers, to aid in fleecing their own countrymen.

The observance is to begin the 16th of next October. While there were no specific sSugges- humble fruit will assume Oct. 16, next. unanimously agreed on October as the »month in which to hold the celebration because, about that time of the year, most of the fairs take place’ in the Southwestern States. It is honed the fair dates can be arranged to coincide with the apple festival. The members of the Apple Congress think the popularity of the apple will spread much more rapidly if apple day is made a feature of the fairs wherever possible. In such a case, apples from all over the country could be exhibited and prizes could be a for apple piles, apple sauces, and for the best apples from each community. This, the apple growers think, would encourage the cultivation of the fruit, which, they say, is not half as well ap- preciated as it deserves to be. In places where fairs are held either earlier or later than “Apple Day,” spe- cial apple exhibits should be held. The members of the congress hope that the third Tuesday in October will in time become a fixed holiday on the

TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 18.—An estimate of the wheat yield of the State was issued by the State Board of Agricul- ture. The yield is estimated on a basis of reports from the wheat growers and dealers received from every township in the wheat belt. The total yield for the State is placed at 91,385,676 bushels, and the condition of growing corn at 88, as compared with 79 iA June. J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, is entitled to first prize for the closest guess on the wheat yield. Mr. Koontz issued a statement based on _ reports from station agents three months ago, and he placed the probable yield at &2,- 500,000 bushels. The next closest estimate was that of the Board of Agriculture, and it was based on the reports from the growers in every county. This re- port placed the probable yield at 70.,- 000,000 bushels. Conditions improved greatly in the State immediately after the issuance of these estimates, and to that fact is attribued the discrepancy beween the guesses and the actual! yield

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and 4 New Yor'< World. PARIS, Aug. 18.—Ferdinand Bolle, who a few months ago fled from Paris after appropriating a large sum of money belonging to the firm for whom he worked, was brought back from Greece, where he was living with a mistress after abandoning his wife and children, to follow the example of Gal- lay. In court he sald that it was after he heard of the doings of Gallay, who was made a popular hero because of the beauty of the mistress with whom he fled, that he resolved to imitate him. He also related how Greek officials mulcted him of nearly all his money, promising he and his mistress protec- tion, but who broke their promise when his funds gave out. ‘It was the publication of the exploits of: Gallay that induced me to do the same. There are many points of re- semblance between my case and the case of the lover of the beautiful Me- rejJli. Like him, I am married and am a father of two children. Like Gallay, I, too, had a mistress. ‘My wife and I lived on the modest sum of $75 a month. It was easy enough when I did not have a mistress. A few months ago I came to the office late one morning and I was informed that the next month I would be dis- charged. It was in that moment that I resolved to do like Gallay. In a month I thought I would be out of a job, why not provide for myself? “I had at my disposition all kinds of blank checks and I filled them out and signed names of various clients. This way I appropriated $70,000, but not $15,- 000, as my accusers say. When I had this money I decided to leave France, But the question was where to go to, es8- cape extradition. I resolved to go to Greece, enjoy its balmy air and live in peace and plenty. Like Gailay, I took my mistress. At Corfu-we were re- ceived by high officials, who said: ‘We know you are a thief who fied from France, but we do not care. You are on hospitable soil. The only thing we expect is that you should reward the hospitality.’ “They immediately demanded that we should give them money. This was ter- rible. They even threatened us with imprisonment if we refused their de- mands. We gave money and we were the secret police agents of nee t» arrest us. The Prefect of Police ordered our arrest, and banishment from Greece. But the Chief of Police ignored the or- ders of the Prefect and offered to send us to a village in the interior of the country, where we would be safe. We paid him for his services and he sem us to a village of Greek bandits. Bandit'’s Favor Short Lived. “The banditg, like the police, demand- ed pay for protecting us. By this time I had only $800 left. The bandits, think- ing I was rich, asked for $3500. 1 man- aged to silence them with $60. after they had my money they demand- ed thatgwe leave the village, declaring that they did not wanf to oppose the French police.” When he finished his story, Zolle made an appeal in behalf of Antoinette Bigouville, his mistress, saying that she was not guilty. “She is innocent.”’ he pleaded. “She did not Know anything about the origin of the money when we started. She did not even know I had a wife and children. When we reached Greece, she first came to know the truth, but in her devotion she did not want to aban- don me when [ was friendless. She has a noble soul. She is not as pretty as Merelll, but she has a more womanly heart. Do not punish her, your honor; she is as innocent as a child.’’ PUBLISH BANS BEFORE ACQUAINTED; SORRY NOW Mail Courtship Leads to Pecu- liar Embarrassment. Special to the Post-Dir.stes, UPPER SANDUSKY, O., Aug. A week ago the bans of Frank Frey, a prominent farmer of near this city, and Miss Sarah Galghar of Cleveland, were announced, but now the word has been given out that the wedding will not occur. In fact, the pastor of St. Mary's Church is authorized to announce an indefinite postpone- ment. It develops that the parties carried on their courtship by mail and never saw each other until after the publication of the bans, simul- taneouriy at Cleveland and here. Last week the prospousys groom made his first visit to his fiancee, and it seems neither was pleased with the other—~ that expectations were not realized.

PROTESTANT GAIN SURE Senator Velle Declares That the State Will Make No Concessions,

COPPEE IS IN DESPAIR

Asserts New Law Will Let Loose Religious War on Unhappy Country.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1906, by the Press Pub, Co. (New York Woarld.; PARIS, gug. 18.—Public opinion has not yet crystallized regarding the inner meaning and effect of the Papal an- nouncement. Ingrained and long-con- Sistent extermists on their side are the only ones who will speak frankly. Ex-Premier Combes, one of the clear- est, Baid: “The Pope, by his letter, has rung the deathknell of French Catholicism. The state is henceforth irremediably forced to suppress ecclesiastical pensions and the local authorities to take over the edifices consecrated to worship. The Pope, by refusing to accept associations, deals a blow that the state never would have dared to deal. “The recruiting of the clergy will di- minish rapidly and at once, when no sufficient living is open to them. The result will certainly be an increase of Protestantism, which has accepted and formed associations, and will therefore stand almost alone in offering religious consolation to those religiously inclined. The free-thinkers have nothing to do with the internal affairs of the c&urch- es, but it is interesting to note that probably, despite the Papal prohibition, many associations will be formed, ac- cording to law, though outside of Cath- olic canonical obedience. That will mean dissent and schism within Catholicism.”’ “We Are Masters,” Says Velle. Senator Velle, chairman of the Sen- ate committee to which the separa- tion measure was referred, said: “The Pope evidently expects the law will be amended to meet his Wishes, but no further concession is possible. The Pope says that Rome will be accused o gas | war. He not only seeks it, but declares it Yet there will be no. war; only some difficult moments. The government fis strong in the marked adherence of the whole nation at elections and cannot make nor will ft-aweke con- cessions. ° r “We are masters in our own house and we have only to abide by our positions.” Minister of Public Worship Briand, mee returned immediately -to Paris, said: “The encyclical is a vague docu- ment. The Pope condemns the law. We expected that. He rejects the arish societies. That looks grave; ut then he orders the Catholics to -form associations, both canonical] and legal. We can’t pronounce upon these until they are formed, and then all we have to do is to assure ourselves that they are really conformable to law. Their canonical orthodoxy is a matter of indifference. The law will have the last word.” Prepared for Persecution. On the extreme Catholic*side the Mar- quis Costa de Beauregard of the Acad- @my says:. ‘ “The Pope ig prepared to face even persecution and the temporary over- clouding of Catholicism in France rather than to compromise on essential points. The Pope said to me: ‘The Pope cannot yield beyond a certain limit. If I yield- ed to the French Cabinet all the con- cordat countries could insist on the same concessions, and the church in its length and breadth would receive such a blow that it is better to accept a sit- an gs that the French clergy can sup- port, however hard. Its acceptance here would open a breach through which everything could pass.”’ ; Francois Coppee, poet, politician and academician, avows in ‘despair of the age, that the Pope could not have done otherwise, as the association would have been at the mercy of the caprice of a counsel of state* composed of Free- masons and haters of religion, ; “All of the combinations talked of."’ he said, “could never have helped us out of that pass. Now, after a complete Agee the clergy and the. faithful must look for bitter persecution. We will suffer, and for a long time, but it fs absurd and monstrous to talk of the Gecatholicising of France.

One of.the most thrilling of all circus “danger acts’’ is the “somersault of death,’’ the daring feat performed by Isabelle Loraine, which will be seen at the Hagenbeck show's two performances in East St. Louis tomorrow.

Coprright, 1906; by the P (New York World)" ste on 4 ROME, Aug. 18.—Great alarm is now felt in Vatican circles because of seri- }Ous consequence of the promulgation of the new encyclical of the Pope, refusing submission to the law separating church and state. The delay of séven or eight months taken by the Pope in pereencing his personal judgment on the law of sepa- ration had already angered many of the French clergy, who now regard the pres- ent diplomacy of the Vatican as really dangerous to the church in France at the moment. . The first Papal encyclical on the same subject condemned the new law, but at that time the Pope gave no special hint that he would advise the French bishops and clergy against submission to the new law. Asa result many good Catho- lics accepted the national law and worked in harmony with the Govern- ment. Many of these have started an independent movement tending to shake off all interference on the part of the Vatican authorities in the administra- tion of their church property. This movement has become so pronounced that a M. Melin, formerly a good Cath- olic, has expressed, in the Peite Repub- lique. the intention of these members. Regardless of fear as to what the Vat- ican’ authorities would do because of his utterance, he says: “The moment has arrived when the liberty of the French Catholics must be defended against the tyranny of Rome. We claim the right to form cultural as- sociations with authority to select their own priests. It is the communities ‘which must choose their representatives in future, and the bishops, being prac’ tically agents of Rome, must not inter- fere: The rules imposed on the clergy must also be subject to the control of the community. We, in our own dis- trict, would never consider it a sacri- lege if a priest should take unto him- self a wife as long as he was author- ized to do so by his_parishioners,”’ lt is fully known dt the Vatican that there are in France thousands of lay- men and priests who fully sympathize with this movement. In view of all this there is hardly a prelate connected with the Vatican who does not freely express the opinion that the decisions arrived at by the Vatican authorities constitutes a serious mistake in diplomacy, and that it will cause serious troubles in the church in France ff persisted in. The blame does not fall on the Pope, but chiefly upon the Papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del Val, who is known to have adopted soon after his assumption to office an attitude toward French statesmen wholly opposed _ to that of his immediate predecessor, Car- dinal Ramapolla. Even in the Sacred College itself a serious opposition has now arisen against the Papal secretary, the leader of which is Cardinal Ferrata, formerly Papal Nuncio in France. Hav- ing been on the ground for several years, he foresaw the mistaken direc- tion of the policy followed by the Vat- ican toward the French Government and warned his colleagues in the Sacred College, and even the Pope himself. It is not considered by the most ex- perienced prelates here that the mis- take in policy is absolutely irreparable. In fact the Papal document, just issued, condemning the French law of separa- tion, has left many loopholes. Used Upright Pianos, $150 up; Square Pianos, $5 up. O. K.

Ger- rare “Verlobungsfest,’’ an old betrothal ceremony, of very in this country, was_ per- formed at the home of Frederick A. Schuermann, 2258 Jules street, to cele- brate the engagement of 16-year-old Lillian Caroline Schuermann to Rev. Joaquin Paul Meyer, her teacher at the Sunday-school of St. Paul Friedens Congregation, Thirteenth street and Al- len avenue. _ Rev. Mr. Meyer is a son of Rev. Jolin J. Meyer, pastor-in-charge of the con- gregation, and is a graduate of Eden College. He is 23 years old. Both the young people are musicians, and their acquaintance has been ad- vanced through concerts in which they took part. The festivities of the ‘“Verlobungs- fest’’ opened with an elaborate banquet, which was attended by the young cou- ple, members of both families and im- mediate friends. The place of honor at the head of the table was held by the father of Miss Schuermann, On his right was the prospective .bridegroom and on his left the bride-to-be. Mr. Schuermann made a brief an- nouncement of the engagement and pro- posed a. toast, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Immediately after the toast Miss Schuermann took from her~hand a ring and placed it upon a finger of her affiancea, while he re moved a ring from his hand and slipped it upon her hand. The father of the young man then placed another ring upon the hand of Miss Schuermann, announcing as he did so that he was repeating an Oriental custom by which he received his son's chosen bride into his own family as his daughter. He then kissed the girl, who was also saluted in this fashion by her affianced and other members of ‘the families. Two other toasts were drunk during the banquet, both spoken in verse by the elder Meyer. - The first was in the old Allemannic dialect and was given in behalf of the engaged couple. The second was in high German and was dedicated to “Music.’’ which had linked the couple together. After the banquet the guests were en- tertained by musical and literary selec- tions given by members of the families and others prominent in German music- al circles. Several by Mrs, Harriet Steinbrecher-White, soprano, and the guests were delighted by the humorous songs and impersonations of Robert Lehrmann, who earlier in life was an actor. The festivities. were continued until ®:30 Friday morning. Many handsome gifts were given, Miss Schuerman re- ceiving a double stoned diamond ring from her father, who also presented the bridegroom-to-be with a handsome sil- ver communion set.

There is no limit to the maximum the fine may be, and a corporation may be fined every day that it does business without a license. officers are now investigating the law as to what constitutes the trans- One officer said to-

action of business. day: “It seems to me, though I have not fully investigated the matter, that there be little question but that the ‘North American Co. is doing business in | Missouri within the meaning of the ‘statute, though I understand it contends properly licensed in Missouri, and that it has no office and does no business in the State. . Merely should be a Holding Co. remembered, however, that the North American Co. is merely a holding company. Its business is to hold a majority of stock in many differ- ent corporations. It thus controls those corporations. If the holding of stock in Missouri in companies, which is the pur- pose for which the North American Co. was organized, is not doing business in this State, then I do not know what could be construed to be doing business. The statutory provision is that every foreign corporation doing busi- ness in Missouri must be licensed by the Secretary of State, and must maintain an office in the state. The North American Company has com- plied with neither of these require- ments. ‘The purpose of the requirement that it maintain an office in the state is that there be some place where legal papers can be served on the Company and its officers, and where books shall be kept showing in de- tail all its assets and liabilities, as well as the names and places of residence of its shareholders and officers, May Affect Its Business, The Secretary of State is required upon a showing by a foreign cor- voration of its compliance with the laws, and the payment of the proper fee, to issue a license to that company pany to carry on its business in Mis- souri. The company is required, however, to file with the Secretary of State, a copy of its articles of assocfation, and a certificate showing the busi- ness of the company and the amount of capital stock. ‘The principal of- ficer in the state is also required to make a sworn statement as to the Proportion of capital stock repre- sented by the property located in Missouri and the business transacted in the state, The failure of the North American Co. to procure a license in Missouri may vitally affect many. business affairs of the company. The Supreme Court has held that a corporation which has failed to comply with the statutory provisions has no power to make contracts; that notes given to it are void, and that any party affected may take advantage of such fact without waiting for action by the State. It is made the duty of the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the corporation is located to bring proceed- ings in court, charging it with a mis- demeanorywhen a corporation fails to Obey the :iaw in respect to license. Money obtained fro 1 such fines goes into the general revenue fund of the county’. PLAY INJUN” WITH PRINCE EDWARD Sons ‘It

Marlborough’s Smann Paint Wales’ Face in American Style. Copyright, 1906. by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) LONDON, Aug. 18.—The two sons of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough John, Marquis of Blandford, who is 9 years old, and his brother, Lord Ivor Charles Spencer Churchill, aged 8, are displaying marked democratic ten- dencies. They already know a great deal about their mother’s country and its history, and are reproducing scenes of early American life, much to the edi- fication of their English playmates. Before the Duchess left Sunderland House for Blenheim, the boys had a tea party for the young . Prince of Wales, who is 12 years old, The children had a grown-up in the dining room where the Duchess of Marlborough presided. She, however, Was obliged to go out that afternoon and leave the children for an hour. During her absence the two boys en- tertained their royal friend in the nurs- (ery, where they had built a red Indian camp. They had utilized some old can- | Vas and two helmets of Pocahontas | feathers, which the Duchess’ had brought from New York. An American flag floated over all. Prince Edward was enchanted. He at once donned the Indian head dress and insisted that his face be stained. Little Lord Blandford applied some brown water color. When the Duke came home he was horrified to see the state‘of affairs. The boys had found some of his old Khaki jackets which he wears as Major of the Imperial Yoemanry when in camp. The Duke called a housemaid to was! Prince Edward's face. The 12-year-old twin sons of Sir John Paget, whose wife was Julia Moke of New York, also were present as well as. WLord Waffington.

TWO STATES SUE OA WATER RIGHTS Kansas and Colorado Both Want to Use Colorado River, Special to the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Probably the most interesting case that will arise for hearing at the coming term of the Supreme Court will be that of the State of Kansas against the State of Colorado to determine how the waters of the Ar- kansas River shall be used. So important is the case that the United States has intervened and has been made a party to it. The Federal Government will file a brief tending to show that the interests of the whole people require that the Su- preme Court shall be very careful in deciding the dispute. The river rises in Colorado, and the people of that State divert its waters tor irrigation purposes. Kansas has protested, claiming that the people of that State are deprived of water which wouid be theirs to use if Colorado ob- served the old common law doctrine of riparian rights. Colorado, in defense, ote up the doctrine of prior appropria- tion. This, as a law doctrine, has been of limited acceptance in the arid and semi- arid states. It asserts that he who first finds the water and uses it for law- ful purposes is entitled to it. The doc- trine of riparian rights asserts that all the people living along a stream are en- titled to the waters of the stream that flow uniterruptedly in full volume. The case is of such extreme importance to the Government for this, reason. If the doctrine of prior appropriation con- trols, then away goes the Federal Gov- ernment’s scheme for reclaiming the arid lands of the country. If the doc- trine of riparian rights controls, Colo- radoans who are using up the water to irrigate their dry lands must permit the river to flow, without diminution, in and through the State of Kansas.

ACCID a. NT HABIT Walter Smith Likely to Forget Trade, He Is Hurt So Often. Specia! to the Post-Dispatch. RUSHVILLE, Ind., Aug. 18.—Walter Smith, 24 years old, is an unlucky man, He has been injured so many times that he has acquired the habit, and is be- coming accustomed to it. He igs em- ployed at one of the table factories, but *ecause of accidents he has been able work only about one-third of the time. During 1965 he was able to work only six weeks. He is now laid up with a broken shoulder. While scufffling with Harry Hayes, Smith broke his right shoulder. Two years ago his’ clothing became fastened in a sander at Innis, Pearce & Co.'s fac- tory and the shoulder was broken. While playing ball eight weeks later the shoulder was dislocated. Two months later a pile of table leaves fell on him at the faetory. The shoulder was again dislocated. Three months later while Smith was wrestling with Early Readle, the shoulder was broken. Shortly be- fore Christmas, last year, his clothing caught in a lathe at the factory. He was jerked about and the shoulder dis- located. At Christmas, the year before, Smith was struck in the face by a snowhal! thrown by Owen McKee, Jr., and the sight of one eye was destroyed. The following summer, while at Winona Lake, Smith broke his right lez at the ankle, in jumping over a railing. Last fall, while. riding a horse belonging to John Hiner, the animal fell, caught the other leg and broke it at the ankle, Young Smith wears a large scar on the right side of his face, where he was struck by a bowler during a campaign fight. He also has three broken fingers, injured at various times, while playing all. He carries no accident insurance.

to (,d00,500 PEOPLE Biggest Directory Ever Issued in Country Has 6362 Johnsons. Special to the Post-Dispatch, CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—There are at least 2,300,500 people in Chicago, accord- ing to the new city directory, which has the names to prove the correctness of that figure. The estimate is based on the United States census for 1900, and is figured from the 716,106 names which appear in the alphabetical list of the book. This total is an increase of 27,430 names over the volume issued a year ago. The directory is the largest ever is- sued in the country. In the alphabetical portion of it there are 9 more pages than there were last year, and in the Classifieg business section there are 13 more pages. Like Abou Ben Adhem, the Johnsons lead all the rest, there being 6362 record- ed in the book, exclusive of those who make their name less common by the insertion of a ‘‘t’’ in the last syllable. The Smiths come next with 5066 and the Andersons have 4117. The Browns, with 2684, outclass the Joneses, of whom there are the comparative few of 1922. Of Sullivans there are 1365. “John Smith’”’ for years has been con- sidered the prize plain name. There are 170 of him in Chicago, with 201 John Smiths who boast a middle initial, The early plan of the striking printers and their union friends to biock the work of the directory by having all their men give name and occupation as “John Smith, printer,’’ evidently finished be- fore it began, for the book shows just two John Smiths who set type for a living, and they are the same two who were recorded last year.

UH BLACK HAND AEVENE Body of Millionaire Wesson, Revolver Maker, Safe From Ghouls.

THREATS HASTENED END

“T’ll Never Give a Cent,” Stur- dy American Said to Letters. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 18.—The interment of Daniel B. Wesson, the millionaire revolver manufacturer in a Steel vault has given rise to strong Suspicion that Mr. Wesson feared just the agencies which attempted to black- mail during his lifetime would prey upon his children after he was dead. | The recent plot of the Black Hand to levy tribute upon Mr. Wesson ranks as the boldest of the operations of the a

alien extortionists. That their threats hastened the death of Mr. Wesson is hardly open to question. Mr. Wesson had lived in peace and security for more than 80 years. For reasons probably known only to him- self he had for years been suspicious of his servants who were not allowed to Sleep in the magnificent Wesson man- sion, which with its appointments, cost from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, and is not surpassed in New England, not even in Boston, nor in the palaces of the Van-¥ derbilts, Astors and Oelrichs at New- port. In more than half a cgntury of af- fluence Mr. Wesson had not, so far as is known, encountered so much as an intimation of personal violence. The first letter from the Black Hand was ignored by Mr. Wesson. It was the work of a maliciously disposed person, or perhaps a hoax cruelly designed to worry an old man bent with the weight of an immense burden of business Cares, reasoned Mr. Wesson. A second letter in the same hand- writing bore unmistakable evidences of being a seriously intended communica- tion. Accompanying-the insignia of the Black Hand was a threat to dynamite Mr. Wesson’s home. Mr. Wesson was assured that if he escaped he would still be a marked man. Mr. Wesson decided without hesita- tion not to pay tribute to the Black Hand. Instead he laid the matter be- fore Chief of Police George M. Stebbins. From. the time of the receipt of the sec- ond letter from the Black Hand, early last October, Mr. Wesson left his home on but few occasions. The night on which Mr. Wesson was commanded to deliver personally.to the agents of the Black Hand the sum of money specified as the price he was to pay for peace of mind his home was policed by plain clothes men, The Black Hané letters directed Mr. Wesson to take the money to the cor- ner of Liberty and Carew streets at midnight. Chief of Police Stebbins de- cided to attempt to lure the Black Hand representatives to their ruin. A squad of picked men was secreted in the un- der brush within a few hundred feet of the appointed meeting place. Patrol- man 8. J. Corfnery was selected to im- personate Mr. Wesson. Connery was provided with a flowing white beard which was almost the counterpart of that of Mr. Wesson’s, and given a hat, overcoat and business suit belonging to Mr. Wesson. Blackmailers Didn’t Appear. A few minutes before midnight Con- nery was driven rapidly to the meeting place. No agent or agents of the Black Hand were there to greet him, and after waiting half.an hour for some one to appear to take the dummy pack- age of bank notes which he carried Connery returned to Police Headquar- ters. The opinion of experienced members of the Police Department was that there were too many policemen secreted by the roadside to escape observation and that, irrespective of this fact, it was reasonable to assume that the blackmailers had observed the Wesson residence from a position of safety and suspected the pitfall which was laid for them. Whether Mr. Wesson received fur- ther communications from the Black Hand will probably never be made pub- ic, It is extremely probable that the Black Hand misjudged the caliber of their intended victim and, learning their mistake, wisely decided that Mr. Wesson was an unpromising case. Since the death of Mr. Wesson it has been broadly intimated that one of the principal reasams of the Wessons for wishing to suppress the story was the belief that if the fact that the Black Hand had been thwarted was heralded through the newspapers the conspira- tors might resort to desperate meas- ures to demonstfate that their threats were not idle. Conversely, it was ar- gued that if nothing were heard of the incident the plotters might be content to let the matter drop, as the carrying out of their threats would obviously be a dangerous proceeding. Determined to Resist Extortion. If Mr. Wesson was perturbed at the persistence of the threatening letters, the feeling of insecurity was not un- natural for a man of his years, who realized his failing physical powers. That the hreat to dynamite the house wotld have been carried out before Mr. Weson complied with the demand of the extortionists is well known to those who were slightly ‘ | not to become a cobbler destroyed so 21 me material that his sages ng wer ecidedly unprofitable. ae eee ‘ As a boy Mr, Wesson had several nar- row escapes from an early death be- Cause of his persistence is testing pew- ter pistols, which he cast in wooden molds. At the age of 30 Mr. Wesson, With the late Horace Smith, fermed the firm of Smith & Wesson and began the manufacture of revolvers on a small Scale. Success was almost instaneous. The Civil War gave added impetus to the business, and when’ the war was Over foreign governments bought re- volvers of Mr. Wesson in hundred thou- Sand lots. Mr. Wesson was still a young man, Several years on the shady side of 40, when his wealth mountéd into the mil- lions. Prosperity did not turn his head and he worked harder after he became a millionaire than before. Almost Penniless When Married. Mr. Wesson married at the age of 25, when virtually penniless. He had four children, three of whom survive him, Joseph and Walter, to whom it is understood the bulk of the vast Wesson property has been willed, and Mrs. Sarah Bull.. There are nearly a score of Wesson grandchildren, one of whom, Douglas, son of Joseph Wesson and the favorite grandchild of the aged man, may, it is predicted, find himself a millionaire under the Wesson will. Mr. Wesson gave to Springfield the Hampden Homeopathic Hospital, which is reruted the most modern hospital in New England. The hos- pital cost $400,000. A maternity hos- pital and other plans which will be carried out. in accordance with Mr. Wesson’s wishes will bring the total expenditures up to $1,000,000.

Ulinois Woman Seemed Near Death When Mystery of Illness Is Solved, LITCHFIELD, Ill, Aug. 18,.~— Mrs. W. J. Kerr coughed up ee molar she freed herself of suffering which had been almost constant for the last eight months and which had de- fied every ductor in this city and those in several neighboring towns. No one even ventured a suggestion at the mys- tery which kept her an invalid all this time, ony os - sang friends feared that she was the victim of co or bronchial trouble. nee Mrs. Kerr seemingly was near defeat in a hard struggle for life. Now she is eazily victor and will soon be entirely well. It was last January when the trouble began. She first experienced severe pains in her chest which, instead’ of passing away, continued to grow in intensity. Vidlent coughing has racked her body until it is nothing more than a frame. Medicines were prescribed, but they gave no relief. A trip to the seashore had as little effect. Not for one minute had the woman rested peacefully until today, when, during a coughing spell, a large tooth was coughed up. Relief was almost instant and’that night Mrs. Kerr experienced no pain whatever. {t is recalled-that about the time Mrs. Kerr was seized with the cough she had been under the care of a local dentist. and it is supposed that while under the influence of chloroform she swallowed

An evidence of the growth of St. Louis as a center of music culture is the establishment of a branch by Conrath’s Conservatory of Music, at the intersection of Union and Page boulevards; for the greater conveni- ence of its students residing in that art of the city. This adds another ink the chain of scholastic in- stitutiG@ns situated on or directly ad- jacent to Union boulevard, which combine to make this great thorough- fare an educational center. Canadian Flag Is British. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 18.—The magis- trates at Preston decided that a vessel fiving the Canadian flag was a British ship, and therefore subject to British shipping laws. The master, who was charged with assaulting a seaman on the high seas, pleaded that he was not subject to the shipping laws because he did not fly the British flag.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Believing the young man was enticed into enlist- ing in the navy through false represen- tations as to the educational advan- tages offered to apprentice seamen, Rep- resentative Phillip Pitt-Campbell is do- ing everything a Congressman can to have the brand of deserter removed ag Raymond T. Bush of Pittsburg, an. Campbell speaks bitterly about the means used to induce young men and bovs to enlist In the navy. Raymond Bush enlisted 14 months oO and deserted about a month ago. His father knows he has quit the navy, but has no idea where the boy is hid- ing. The lad, who-is only 17 years old, would like to return to Kansas, but on not want to be punished for deser- tion. The Congressman endeavored to in- duce Secretary Bonaparte to nave the word deserter stricken from the rolls wherever it occurs after the name of Bush. The Secretary said nothing could be done until after the boy had been ar- rested and tried by courtmartial. That is what causes the bitter words of the Congressman. He denounces the- prac- tice of recruiting officers in hi tate, saying that they misrepresent facts to ersuade boys to enlist, making them

acquainted with the late millionaire. “Not a cent! Nota cent! I'll never contribute to extortionists of any stripe,” sald Mr. Wesson to a_ Post- Dispatch correspondent at the _ time the incident became public. Then, calmly, as though discussing an in- consequential business transaction, but with a firmness and emphasis which left no doubt of his resolution, Mr. Wesson stated his belief that the)! principle at issue was broader than his own personal safety; that the Black Hand was unamerican, and that no true American would submit to its demands. It was suggested to Mr. Wesson that the communications might have emanated from a dissatisfied employe of his bie revolver plant. “Never,” said Mr. Wesson, almost vehemently. “TI won't believe such a thing. Ev- ery man who works in my shop is my friend.” Mr. Wesson was thoroughly American. He made his fortune, which is esti- mated to exceed $25,000,000, horfestly. The profits of his revolver plant were augmented by judicious and far-sighted investments. To depress a stock of se- curity in order to get possession of the holdings of others Mr. Wesson consid- ered legalized robbery. All his invest- ments were of a constructive nature, Rather than to acquire a _ fortune through the process of wrecking giant undertakings Mr. Wesson would rather be penniless, he frequently said.

ristian” at Suburbai

a a he In the Gathering Twilight of the Summer Gardens’ De- clining Day Comes “The Christian” to the Subur- ban, With Henrietta Brown Taking Maude Fealy’s Place as Glory Quayle—“The Strollers” Will Be at Delmar, Comedian Young Has a Congenial Role and the Rest of the Company Well Cast—At West End Heights Will Ethel Fuller Play “The Sorceress,” and Many People Who Saw Bernhardt in “La Sor- ciere” VVill Now Learn What It Was All About— The Children’s Concerts Begin at the Alps, the Royal Hawaiian Band Opens at Forest Park High- lands, and Other Gardens and Theaters Offer New Bills—A Straight Tip to Competing Managers, a Word About Nahan Franko and the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and Reflections of a Summer Gardener. NE can see the finish of the summer amusement season now with half O an eye. Two more weeks of the Delmar company—“The Strollers” this week and Richard Harlow brought on for a revival of “1492” the week after—and three coming productions by the Suburban people— “The Christian,” opening today, “Barbara Frietchie”’ next week and “David Garrick” to follow—and there you are! The other gardens wherein we have found relishful entertainment when Fate favored—and entertainment not sO zestful occasionally—will lower their curtains about the same time, wherefore the sound of the passing-bell is almost in the air now. Ding! Dong!—But what's the use working in the knell for stage effect just because time flies and seasons change? Anyway, I decline to volunteer for the role of sexton. And it’s so confusing, too, for no sooner is the tolling finished than a joyous carillon must needs be pealed to welcome the incoming regular sea- gon. Indeed, one must play sexton with one hand and carilloneer with the other, because the winter houses throw wide their doors even as the summer gardens close their gates, so that there’d be a deal more bathos than pathos in the attempt—a smirk of greeting on one side of the face and lugubrious- ness on the other. Away with double dealing! We'll shake hands with garden and theater alike—Good-by to one and Howdy to the other! Right at the start, also, there’s an opening of the season's battle be- tween the Theatrical Syndicate and the Independents with a fierce rush -—the Olympic and Century and the Garrick lifting their curtains simultane- ously on Sunday, Sept. 2. Both antagonists have been sending out glowing bulletins from New York, each claiming to be greatly strengthened for the new season and the marshaling of their stars is accompanied by a tremen- dous blowing of trumpets. I must say that I’m grievously disapointed at the showing made by the bookings thus far—I’d like to see a brighter promise of St. Louis getting the best there is—and getting it bright and early, too. I don't care a snap who comes out ahead in the season’s com- petition—Syndicate or Independents, may the best man win!—but I do insist ‘that they put St. Louis on the theatrical map more conspicuously than either has done thus far. For which good and sufficient reason I earnestly submit the following to their shrewd attention: THE STRAIGHT TIP. Hello, Independents! And—Hello, Syndicate! Here’s a friendly little tip To set your bookings straight; We don't take sides with either, We stand impartial quite— But the one who sends St. Louis Will win the season's fight! its best Plays all crisp and sparkling, Plays worth while—and new— Which of you will send us these? You'll win out if you do! Hello, Independents! And—Hello, Syndicate! We're talking from the shoulder now— D'ye get the message straight? I sincerely hope they’ll both get it straight—and govern themselves ac- cordingly—because St. Louis has been the Patient Griselda of American theatricals a blessed sight too long. The gentlemen who direct the destinies —and the routings—of plays going out from New York must see to it here- after that they get their best offerings to St: Louis: earlier, and in better condition, than has been their wont. The public temper in St. Louis has reached a point of protest that may contain elements of disagreeable sur- prise to amusement purveyors if its warning is unheeded. What Chicago gets, We must get—or there’s likely to be a slump in local theater attendance “that'll hurt managers right in the solar plexus of the body managerial, which, as all men know, is the pocket-book. And the lesson is marked to be duly taught this very season unless all signs fail. With which entirely unprejudiced and absolutely amiable warning I leave the matter in the hands of the parties most vitally concerned, with a sincere hope that they'll see the error of their ways and walk in the paths of reformation. What I want to call to your attention now is the fact that a series of entertainments—the most novel in local musical history —begins at the Alps this afternoon with the first of the children’s concerts to be given by the Alps Orchestra under the masterly direction of Conductor Nahan Franko. These concerts will be for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Free Ice and Pure Milk Fund, the fund that means health, and often life itself, to the pogr children of the tenements. The programs will be ar- ranged with a special view to the musical entertainment and instruction of the younger generation, and each nurhber will be accompanied by a little lecture from Conductor Franko, telling something of the composer's life and work and the significance of the composition. So inviting is this inno- vation, both in the promise of entertainment and in the worthiness of the cause suggesting it, that I have yielded to the temptation to become lyrical concerning it, hence: THE CHILDREN’S CONCERT. He's not the Pied Piper of Hamelin, who led all the children away, This good Mr. Franko who plays for the tots at the Alps children’s concert today; But he’s got the Pied Piper discounted for music that’s simple and sweet, And he’s chosen the best of his tunefulest numbers to give his child-hearers a treat. O Mr. Franko! How fine all your players. will play! The Alps will re-echo with honeyful strains When you lead the big concert today! >» He's not the Pied Piper of Hamelin, this good Mr. Franko—O no! or the money that’s earned by his little folks’ concerts to help poorer children will go. | Hach dime saves some tenement baby, who elsewise would sicken and die, And it’s only a dime to go in to the concert—A dime for each ticket—who’'ll buy? O Mr. Franko! For the lives of poor children you'll play, And their songs of rejoicing will follow the strains Of the Alps children’s concert today! o It seems to me that a very beautiful picture will be presented if these children’s concerts are attended largely by the little ones—the Alps crowded with children helping to make successful 4 movement for the relief and rescue of other children from suffering and death. I wouldn’t wish to see a prettier picture myself—and I shall go out to the Alps expectant of the keenest enjoyment. And now, just for a little moment in the approaching twilight of the summer season and the dawn of the regular theatrical year, attune your souls to such incidental communing as the following: REFLECTIONS OF A SUMMER GARDENER. Henrietta Brown's midnight dash across the theatrical firmament to take Maude Fealy’s place at the Suburban entitles her to be called a shoot- ing star, | One difference between Ethel Fuller in “The Sorceress” and Sarah Bern- hardt in “La Sorciere” is that more people will understand Ethel. It’s virtually promised in the advance notices that the Royal Hawalian Band at Forest Park Highlands will be found a musical Honolulu. The answer to Caecilia Rhoda and John Young’s “What's the Matter With the Moon Tonight?” might have been that Luna was full again It's a two-to-one shot that a hot fight begins when Manager Short’s Olympio and Century and Manager Fishell's Garrick open on the same date. The musio at the Alps concerts for the benefit of the Free Ice and Pure Milk Fund will echo sweetly to the children of the tenements. Maybe those weird Stories of the “peek-a-boo” pinch-bug were started just to scare the open-shirtwaisted summer girl into seeking cover. Let's hope that Bertha Kalich and Blanche Walsh won't come to hair- pulling over such a harmoniously titled play as “The Kreutzer Sonata.” Perhaps the melodramatic muse took the lead at the opening of New York's regular season because “the villain st@l pursued her.” _. And surely the, stage villain should have led the batting at the Post- Dispatch actors’ ball game—he's sv used to making base hits. x _——

Houp-lal St. Louis Now Does a Thrilling Chariot Act for the Season's Stari

i ON W. STUART, formerly of san Odeon Theater, writes to the Post-Dispatch from New York, where he represents the new Crawford aud the Iowa-Illinois circuits, that book- ings for a brilliant musical season at the Odeon have been made. Besides the local musical events, such as the Choral Symphony, Apollo Club and Morning Choral, the Odeon will have Leoncavallo two days in November; the Neilsen- Nordica combination, which will be known by the title of the San Carlos Opera Co., two or three days in Febru- ary; Lhevinne, the great Russian pian- ist is booked for Febuary 1, and Ku- belik, Feb. 14. The latter, however, is not positive, as this artist is having trouble with his manager over a settle- ment of last season’s business. Not the least of the Odeon bookings is Mr. Stuart’s own venture, Arthur Pryor and his band, which is oked for Friday, Nov. 9 In conjunction with the bank concert is given a musical military spec- tacle, entitled “The Triump of Old Glory.’”” Mr. or is now playing at Asbury Park, filling a ten weeks’ en- gamement, and is drawing immense crowds to every concert. He also filled three weeks at the famous Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia, his dates fol- lowing three weeks of Damrosch, and preceding the Victor Herbert engage- ment. It was his first engagement at Willow Grove and was a marked suc- cess in every respect, drawing record- breaking crowds throughout the en- gagement. The best proof of this is the fact that the management of the park have offered a contract for six weeks next summer, instead of three. A. W. Pinero’s latest play, ‘‘His House in Order,’’ which proved to be the big- gest dramatic success of the London season, will run all summer at the St. James Theater in that city. John Drew opens in this play in New York at the mpire Theater on Sept. 3. Margaret Illington will be his leading woman. The American author is always prom- inently represented in all of Charles Frohman’s plans for play productions. For the coming season he has secured plays from Augustus Thomas, Clyde Fitch, George Ade, the DeMille brothers, George H. Bradhurst, C. T. Dazey, Paul M. Potter, George H. Lorimer, Harry B. Smith, Edgar Smith, Harry D. Cot- trell, Oliver Morosco, and others still to be announced. Sam Bernard never had a better char- acter part nor was he ever more legiti- mately funny than as Hoggenheimer in “The Girl From Kay’s.” The ok gave him every opportunity for his inimitable funmaking and besides, showed to great advantage his splendid powers of char- acterization. It was a happy thought to continue the career of oggenheimer, and Mr. Bernard will n be seen as Piggy in a new musi comedy to be called ‘‘The Rich Mr. Hoggenhelmer,”’ the book of which will be by 3 B. Smith, with music by Ludwig Englander. to witness ‘Col. ferent parts of the house, beginning with a box view and finally taking the most distant point of observation in the up- per tier of the theater. The more famil- iar he became with the play’s opportuni- ties and possibilties, the more firmly was he convinced that it is a piece with which he cannot fail to command the favor of his American audiences. Col. Newcombe is just the sort of character to bring into expression those qualities of tender yet virile sentiment that have endeared Mr. Willard to the best classes of theater goers in this country, and se- cured to him a patronage that has guar- ranteed the success of his tours for the last 19 years. He will open his season with “Col, Newcombe” in Montreal at His Majesty's erry t where his en- gagement begins Oct.

Henrietta Crosman, who is spending the summer at her cottage at Lake Sunapee, N. H., will join a party on an automobile tour in New England be- fore returning to New York for re- hearsals of ‘‘All-of-a-Sudden Peggy.’”’ ' Willlam Gillette will appear in New York in October in his latest play, “Clarice.’’ This new work of the actor- author has had a remarkable record. Written ty an American, rehearsed in America, it was produced in Liverpool! with an American company by an American manager. After a run at Charles Frohman’s Duke of York's The- ater, Mr. Gillette recrossod the Atlantic, opening in Boston and running there to iamnenena? business. In fact so great was the demand for seats that after Mr. Gillett2’s Boston time had elapsed and he 1-as playing engagements in sur- rounding citi~s, he gave special matinees of ‘‘Clarice’’ in Boston to receipts that were far in excess of any ever played to at afternoon performances in that city. The Rice and Barton Big Gaiety Ex- travaganza Company is the underlined attraction at the Gayety, commencing next Sunday night. The company is said to be stronger than ever this sea- gon and entirely re-embellished. Charles Barton heads the bill. The engagement is for one week, with the usual mati- nees. “Ben Hur’ will begin its eighth season at the Olympic Theater in St. Louis Sept. 24, the same date on which its companion drama, “The Prince of In- dia.”’ will receive its New York premiere. Since Nov. 29, 1899, when the first per- formance of “Ben Hur’ pana te gy at the Broadway Theater in New York, 1968 performances of this play have been pre- sented and witnessed by more than 3,000,000 people. More people have seen ‘Ren Hur” than constituted the entire population of the thirteen original states at the outbreak of the War of the Rev- olution. Local Lodge No. 5 of the Theatrical Mechanics’ Association made a big suc- cess of their outing at West End Heights last Thursday, and at the close of the theatrical performance presented Ethel Fuller with a floral offering six feet in height. This offering bore in flowers the emblem of the association and the words, “From the T. M. A to Miss Ethel Fuller.” The offering went over the footlights, and the presenta- tion speech was made by President Lee Springer of the association. James Mooney, chairman of the committee in charge, then announced that Miss Fuller had been made an honorary member of the T. M.

=~ = Notable New Plays Already Staged or in Preparation for Production—Over 300 Home and Road Com- panies Rehearsing. BY LOUIS V. DE FOE, Dramatic Critic New York World. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch, NEW? YORK, Aug. 16.—With the close of last week the vacation period of the dramatic profession came to an end. Every ship returning from Europe ul- loaded cargoes of actors, and those whvu did not spend their holiday abroal came trooping in from the summer re- sorts. Beginning tomorrow rehearsals, which have been going on sporadically during the last fortnight, will setlie down. to earnest, unremitting work. From then until Labor Day every thea- ter, concert hall and lyceum in New York will be in commission morning, noon and night. The conditions that producers of plays had to face last year prevail again, only this year are worse. Dur-

ing the three or four weeks preceJing the general raising of the curtains mole | pest opportunity he has had than three hundred companies are or-| Second in Command.” ; properly acted, will seal Miss ganized, equipped and rehearsed in New York. Less than a quarter goers, for the majority of them are destined for the road, but the work of preparation is not less on that account. Where to find room to put these com- panies through their drills is the prob- iem that frets their managers. Most of the Broadway stages are occupied by the companies that will soon use them for public performances, and the others have to get along as best they may. Rehearsing Under Difficulties. So concert slages are presscea@ into service, halls are hired, and even the lobbies of some of the theaters are used. In the Amsterdam Theater Building re- hearsals are now going on from the first floor to the roof, and in some in- stances even basements have been rented. . At these rehearsals the actors perform the nardest work of the entire year, and for it, in most cases, they get nu pay. The stages are dark, dreary and stifling. No scenery is set up to enliven the sur- roundings, the actors do not feel the inspiration of applauding audiences, and the taskmaster, in the person of the stage manager, is not always kind. To put in a day at one of these grinding rehearsals takes the glamor off theatri- cal life, for they are as cheerless as a stage entrance on a wet night. The costumers and scene painters who have been rushed all summer long as they have never been rushed before, however. are beginning to get a little breathing time. The scenic studios in New York are inadequate to the amount of work they attempt to turn out, s0 all summer long the artists have been clinging like flies to the paint frames that hang above all the theater stages. Now the last vermillion and ochre has been slapped on the canvases and the final work of building the settings has commenced. In three or four weeks the rush in all departments will be at an end and the season will resume its normal swing. Then will come, of course, the usual un- foreseen failures and it will be found how much hard work and good money have been spent in vain. For, after all, the drama, dealing as it does with pub- lic whim, is a mighty and dangerous gamble. Until this year Labor Day has been appointed as the signal for the beginning of the new season. But in this instance a surprising num- ber of the opening performances have been crowded ah one week. In all probability the weather will be too warm to render theater-going comfortable, but the great numbers of visitors and buyers for Western mercan- tile houses who will crowd the New York hotels demand entertainment, and man- agers find it profitable to supply it. Nor are the actors averse, for most of them need the money after a summer of idle- ess. | " For the openings of the producing houses all plans have been completed. Below I give a list of their plays, auth- ors and stars and the dates on which they will be produced. During the six nights beginning on Aug. 27, 11 produc- tions will be made, among them some of the early season's most promising plays.

SUNDAY MORNiING—g@T

N NEW STATE _ oo OH + Republicans Blame Interior Secretary for Party Defeat at Pawhuska,

FEELING IS GENERAL

Assert Territory Administra- tion Has Made Democrats of Indians.

' Specta to the Post-Dispatch. GUTHRIB, oO. T., Aug. 18.—O. R. Flannigan, a lumber dealer and active politician of Pawhuska, I. T., said while on a visit here that the recent Demo- cratic success in the city election in his home town was due solely to the bitterness felt toward Secretary of In- terior Hitchcock. Flannigan says the Republican party is blamed for Secre- tary Hitchcock's acts, and those who do not approve of his administration of Indian affairs will vote with the Demo- crats on all occasions. Other men of that neighborhood have voiced the same sentiments here in a less outspoken manner. While the feeling against Hitchcock in Oklahoma is not as great as it is in the Indian Territory, yet it is confident- ly believed by the Republican leaders in this section of the new State that be- cause of his rule the Democrats will win many votes which they otherwise would not secure at the first State elec- tion. Particularly is this rue in the Kiowa and Comanche country. Hobart Has Grievance. At Hobart the feeling has been intense since that city was first established. A waterworks fund was raised from the sale of lots and the money deposited in the United States Treasury. The city grew and prospered, but Hitchcock held up the matter of establishing *re protec- tion for three years. In the ?t::cantime three disastrous fires occurred. Lawton experienced the same trouble. These are only two of the many things held against Hitchcock and which the Republicans, when the canipaign is started, will be compelled to answer. The Indian vote in the State of Okla- homa, which is so eagerly desired by both parties, is expected to be largely Democratic, since the hatred for Hitch- cock among the Indians is so strong. This is on account of the one year lease ruling which may help the Democratic cause. This ruling allowed the Indian to lease his farm for one year, but aft- er that the sanction of the Secretary of the Interior was: necessary. Few farm- érs desired to lease a farm for one year,

-especially when they were Hable to lose ‘it the next after the land had been broken for the first time. The Indians were losers, the white man likewise. Hitchcock the Issue, A prominent Indian Territory man who was in Guthrie said: “No wonder we were dissatisfied with the Federal rule. Hitcheock will be the issue in the eastern half of Oklahoma at the first State election. No man was unpopular and his official acts are being charged to the Repub- lican party. Of course the Republigans in Congress freed us from this rule and the explanation will be that the Demo- erats opposed statehood in Congress for the Indian Territory. The official acts of Hoke Smith, Secretary of the In- terior under Cleveland, will be cited and the fact that the Standard Oil Co. se- eured control of some of the best oil lands at that time. This may help some.”’ BURNING STORKS ENDANGER VILLAGE. Special Cabie to the-Post-Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN.

r the HETTY GREEN SAYS SHE SHUNS SOCIETY ‘CAUSE IT’S NAUGHTY Spocial to the Pust-Diepatch. BELLOWS FALLS, Ver., Aug. 18.— “People have made all sorts of allega- tions that I want to break into society for my daughter's sake, but every word of it is a lie, for I am not anxious for their company, and neither is Sylvia.” So declared Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, who is at her old home here, living in a single room with her daughter, Sylvia, waited on by a single domestic whom _ she brought from her flat in Hoboken, N. J. ‘If my boy, Ned, lived a life of crime,” continued the enormously wealthy woman, “I’d give him a hypo- dermic myself and put him away where there would be no chance for. dis- grace.”’ Her son is expected home soon from Texas, and she has had the barn fitted up a little, because he will want to store his automobile in it, She is very proud of Ned, whom she is reported to want to make the richest man in Amer- ica. She told of an attempt to capture him in Chicago, which aroused her ire, as follows: “Some of the sets in New York are living in a worse manner than the peo- ple of Sodom and Gomorrah did, and I know it, for didn’t some of them try to tempt my boy, Ned, just after I took him out of college and brought him to Chicago? “Qne of these women tried to snare him there and then.

They simply don’t understand all the trouble and worry I have. “I have plenty of money, but every- where I go the opinion seems to be that I should either give it away or let them take it from me as they feel like doing. I have made it a rule through my life, however, that rather than allow any- body to cheat me out of 10 cents I will spend $100 to prevent it, or recover what belongs to me. “There is no need of my making a splurge with my money here or any- where else for that matter, as I live just as I please, and will continue to do so if I have ten times as much money as I have now.’’ Mrs. Green added that she was a thor- ‘oughly God-fearing woman, although she lived to suit herself, saying: “Prayers have saved me in every fight that I have made, and so long as I live I will fight for the right against murderers, thieves and perjurers, as they are the curses of, the world to- day.”’

SPUNKY BOOM TOWN ANNEXES RIVALS Indiana City of 2000 Without Houses Believes in Itself. Special.to the Post-Dispatch. FARY, Ind., Aug. 18.—This modern “boom town, 15 miles from the city limits Chicago, has held its first election and is now on the map. De- spite the fact that its 2000 inhabitants are living in tents and there is’ not a permanent building in the town, the citizens marched to the polls and elect- ed a Mayor and City Council. The Council quickly passed its first ordi- nance annexing 6000 acres of Indiana, including the villages of Buffington, Smith's Junction and Tolleston, giving new town an area greater than Springfield, Ill., or most of the large towns of Indiana. The majority of the residents of Tol- leston, which has been Gary's hated rival since the new town was founded, are up in arms and refuse to be an- nexed, but as all the large property holders of Tolleston are in favor of the movement, former Mayor of Hammond, Ind., Thomas E. Knott, who is the first executive of Gary, declares the ‘Tol- lestonians will have to become citizens of Gary whether they want to or not.

Cotton Market Shows Further Weakness—Spot Drops Ten Points, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug: 18.—The Evening Post, in its weekly review of the mar- kets today, says: Wall .Street—Opening with fairly riot- ous excitement, today’s stock market rose in the first hour of business to a volume of transactions rarely, if ever, exceeded on a Saturday. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific shares were at the start the one focus of interest and ex- citement; within a few minutes of the opening they had advanced respectively 7 and 2% points above yesterday’s clos- ing prices. This spasmodic rise brought Union Pacific 22 points above yester- day’s early price, ana sufficiently illum- inated the possibilities of the high finan- cial gamble which Wall street at least believes to have taken place. Toward the end of the first hour the pace slack- ened somewhat and the stocks most violently active at the market's open- ing sold off half a point or thereabouts. This may have represented profit-tak- ing by the gentlemen who yesterday got the start of the general market on their private information. When, however, this slight reaction became noticeable, the more familiar stock jobbing experts came aggressively to the front. They employed the well-known tactics of operators who wish to sustain a market against large realizing sales in one di- rection. Under the auspices of these eminent specialists, one stock after an- other—Reading, Pennsylvania, Atchison, Colorado Fuel, Louisville & Nashville, Amlagamated Copper—was driven up 2 poimts or more. With these successive demonstrations the day’s excited mar- ket ended. It was a matter of some in- terest that the violent bidding up of these stocks followed at once after pub- lication of a weak bank showing. The bank statement did not con- firm the cheerful predictions current earlier in the week. It shows the position to have been further impair- ed this week, and it once more shows up a surplus reserve smaller than any reported at this date since 1893. The $3,457,000 decrease reported in cash holdings is not wholly intelligi- ble. Outflow of currency to the har- vest states has continued during the present week, and in volume larger than that of a week ago, but it was thought to have been offset entirely by arrival of new gold from the Pa- cifie Coast. On this part of the state- ment, it is fruitless to speculate. The loan account is a more interesting matter. A decrease of $5,175,000 is re- ported; this can be ascribed to noth- ing except the transfer by wholesale of outstanding loans to London. Such a movement has quite notoriousdy been going on this week. _. But, on the other hand, it must be kept in mind that the statement’s showing of loans and liabilities, based as it is on the average*‘daily status of the week, gives very slight clew to the situation since the wild stock. jobbing movement broke out yester- day forenoon. Such advance in stocks as yvesterday’s and today’s frequently adds as much as $10,000,000 to the loan account. No doubt a good deal of the larger speculation of the two davs has been’ conducted without money raised in Europe. But this leaves the excited professional fol- lowers to be reckoned with, and it may be accepted as certain that their bank loans have been expanded in due proportion to the rise in quoted values. Wheat Prices Lower. Jrain—Wheat prices were lower again today, selling off to the pre- vious low record, with a narrow pro- fessional trade. Selling was stimu- the lower cables, better weather abroad and _ fine harvest weather in the Northwest. A feeling of disappointment was manifested at the lack of active export demand at the low range of values. Corn was weak and lower, owing to lower foreign markets, favorable weath- and fair offerings of old corn by farmers. Snot wheat firm, with expert de- mand light: corn and oats lifeless. Cotton-—The cotton market developed further ‘ ess today under a continu- ation of heavy selling for both local and Southern accounts of the same charac- ter and on the same eonditions whieh have been fercing the market throughout the week. There was a con- tinued absence of any subetantial sup- port, notwithstanding the more attract- ivoness of the lower range of values. The weather conditions in the cotton belt continued favorable, and the erop prospects too brilliant to induce traders to attempt to inaugurate any bid nove. ment under the existing conditions, and with the bear element having things all their own way. the tendency of prices is still naturaily downward. About the only support the market received today continued fo come from seattered buvy- ing and the scale-down by traders who were still plaving for a prospective rally and profit-taking by some of the large and seattered short interests, Treading was very active today, but Wis entirely at the expense of Yalues, Me maximum decline extended to 20 to © points from last night’@ rices, which weresthe lowest fer the day.

Harriman’s Accomplishments in the Pacifics Most Remark- able in Railroad History. The week has been another to compare with the most sensational in the history of stocks. The week hus scen the final outcome of ground plans of the Vander- bilt¥ in the West, laid out in 1895 wuen they, for a short time, took control of the Union Pacific Railroad board and placed Horace Burt at the head of the great corporation. The control was to serve aS an absorption of extténsion of the Vanderbilt's Chicago & Northwest- ern to the Pacific Coast, but Mr. Harri- man arose and at the end of two years was in control of Union Pacific on a rental basis, With loss of control of {% came the determination of President Hughitt of the Northwestern to build his line through to the coast independ- ently and Roswell Miller, then president, now chairman ot the board of the St. Paul, set about extending that line to the coast, securing the interest of the Rockefellers, one of whom joined the St. Paul board in 1899, From 1898 to date the partnership formed between Hill and Harriman for the purpose of merging control of the Union and Southern bacitie transconti- nentals with the Great Northern and Northern Pacifie railroads in order to head otf Northwestern and St. Paul. Hill got control of the Northern Pacine and with Harriman’s assistance elimin- ated the Burlington by inerging it with the Hill roads. ‘Then Mr. Hill went after St. Paul and failed. Neither he nor Mr. Harriman have ever attempted to con- tro] the Northwestern and the failure this week to get possession of St. Paul is followed by the sensational announce- ment that both the Northwestern and St. Paul will construct on to the Pa- cific Coast as quickly as possible. in support of this the Northwestern issued 2,0W,000 of new securities and the St. Paul issued $25,000,000 with arrange- ments for issue of as much more as may be required for that purpose under favorable inarket conditions. Thus have Messrs, Harriman and Hill been notified that the Vunderbilt and Roc ‘efeller interests will not yield to then: their opportunity of transconti- nental railroad lines. East of Chicago neither Harriman or Hill control any- thing absolutely. But the situation, in the face of failure of control of St. Paul, Harriman’s ability to place Union Pacific on a 10-per-rent basis and Southern Pacific on a 5-per-cent basis, establishing Union Pacific stock at close to $175, tells a wonderful story of his ability as a builder anu director of railway interests. All conditions, as they have governed and influenced the stock market during the, week just closed, combined to make a remarkable period in its history. Pri- marily it is neld by dealers in stocks, Speculators as well as investors, that the conditions were never exceeded in the history of the country for. the le- gitimate augmentation of values of shares of railroad and industrial cor- porations. With all of the agricultural wealth common to the wide range of high end lowland, and its great latitude, at the back of the country's industrial ad- vancement and earning power, the end of the augmentation in stock values is not yet in sight, because the full effect of the never-before-exceeded yields of grain and fruit, simultanously, has not yet been coined by the industries into dividends on securities or paid in the form of wage dividends to artisans. For the first time almost in history crop failure, either cereal or fruit, is not reported from any section. There is ‘nion Pacific ‘not sufficient elevator capacity in the country, including farm cribs and bins, to house the grain crop before corn is garnered, or car capacity to carry it to the seaboard for export, although with- out exception the grain-carrying ’ rail- roads have increased their car capacity an average of almost 15 per cent in 12 months. Added to the bumper cereal crop is another 12,000,000-bale cotton crop, whicn supports the betterment of individual and corporate’ conditions throughout the South. While it is doubted by many that the industrial condition, backed by the bumper crops, will sustain a 10 per cent dividend on Union Pacific, it is believed that the moving of this year’s crop and the earnings that re- sult will decide the stability of the dividend. The week marked a development of a situation in Gould stocks that caused an advance in all of the owner or controlled lines, this being based on the fine physical con- dition of the properties, the large grain vield in the system’s territory and the belief that Mr. Gould’s trans- continental plans are almost at frui- tion through the Wabash in Penn- sylvania, the Pacific Coast end of the line having progressed finely in con- struction on Western Pavific. Industrial stocks have advanced substantially during the week, the steel and the fuels being now crowd- ed to capacity. Nothing but further advances can result to them with the transcontinental railroad building projects on hand, causing demands and orders ahead for railroad steel and other materials needed in the de- velopment of the new territory.

SUBSCRIBER KILLED, PAPER MUST PAY, BBDRLIN, Aug. 18.—The Neunkirchener Volszeitung has been successfuly sued by the widow of a subscriber for $80 for the death of her husband. [In so- liciting subscriptions, the paper prom- ised to pay $8) to the relatives of each subscriber who was accidentally killed. Two months after this offer the pa- per was sued for refusing to comply with its promises. In court the mana- ger of the paper protested the widow had not complied with the regulations, which demanded the office be advised of the death of the subscriber within eight hours. The widow advised the newspaper office the next day. The widow proved, however, that her hus- band died at night and that she sent her brother to report it and he found the office closed. She won the case. ~* FINANCIAL. |

Correspondents in all sections of the wheat beit report very favorable weather, with the ex- ception of a few spots that are in danger from rain and storms, and the probabilities are that, favorable con- ditions attending, fine records will be registered in all grains. The plentiful crops, however, are likely to create a surplus of grain and unless the home markets are re- lieved by a better foreign demand than has as yet been shown, a further drop in prices is predicted. Indeed, the recent slump in grain values is traceable to the plentiful receipts at primary points and favorable thresh- ings reports, coupled with the rather small export demand. Reports from Kansas indicate that the wheat crop of that State will be the second largest on record, the esti- mate being 91,400,000 bu. The last “epart was issueg last June, and gave the condition as 70. The August Gov- ernment report indicates a crop yield af 82,000,000. As the yield per acre IS 14.7 as against 11 last year, a record crop for Kansas is expected. othe corn acreage for Kansas is -90,000 less than that of last year, this year’s figures being 6,520,000 acres. The condition of corn ie 88 and was 73 last June, against 89 last year, en a record- was BO srt rd-breaking crop e best information obta this time indicates a wheat ane gene gn bushels for North Dakota, 75,- 000,000 bushels for Minnesota, and 50,00,- 00 bushels for South Dakoca. All ‘big figures, surely. The local cash market has been strong all week, all grades of cash wheat bringing good pricés, and the same is reported of Kansas City. The reason is that receipts of grain in both cities have been quite light. While there is some competition among the millers for good grades, this constitutes almost all the demand, as shippers are doing little out- side of No. 3 and poorer grades. It is thought that should the receipts rise sharply in the next few days, prices will drop. Considerable wheat is- said to be headed in this direction from Northern Kansas and Southern Nebraska, where fine weather is reported. There has been a fair milling demand for cash grains. Southwestern cash markets were slight- ly lower, with slow demand. Professionally speaking, the bears have been in control of the local market during the past week. The light de- mand was completely crushed by the heavy volume of selling, especially in the September wheat option, and the weakness was accentuated by unfavor- able foreign cables. Prices dropped steadily all week until Friday. when the bear raid was finally checked by ao pcialanes higher cables from Liver- pool. LIVESTOCK MARKETS, CATTLE—Receipts, 500.

SUNDAY

Gee BUSCH SURPRISED. BY HIS SON-IN-LAW Lieut, Scharrer Had Long Cav- alcade When He Called at Brewer’s Summer Home. Adolphus Busch is said to have re- covered almost entirely from the shock of surprise he suffered when his son-in-law,

Eduard Scharrer, drove up to the brewer's villa in Germany, Lilly on the Rhine, with feven horses, seven dogs, two coaches, an automobile, a chauffeur, a coach- man, a valet and a maid. lieut. Scharrer, whose interrupted clopement from St. Louis to Belle- ville last winter with Wilhelmina Busch created a sensation, did not shock Mr. Busch half so much by the elopement it is said, as when he 4rrived ut the villa where the family is spending the summer. Mr. Busch fainted. The news of Mr. Busch’s agitation at the train of servants and animals which followed his son-in-law reached St. Louis yesterday in letters to friends. The young Scharrers live in Stutt- gart, Germany. ‘They hired a train to convey them to Schwalback, a vil- lage near Lilly, and at the town en- tered an automobile. The car headed the procession which wended its way to the villa, and the remainder of the outfit followed in vehicles of Various description. Mr. Busch was on the porch when the cavalcade approached, and did not realize that it was his best loved daughter and her husband untll after they entered the grounds. attempted ae — ceemensiaiiet Sepeweltinanias I WILL SEND YOU:.A TRiAL TREAT- MENT FREE. can reduce your weight 3 to 5 Pounds a eek and turn § ill health into robust health, mental sluggish- nes* into activity, and relieve that feeling of fullness and oppression by producing healthy diges- tion and as- similation.

Lucien E. Becker. BOUDLERS' TEAMS “TO BE SHORTENED Governor Says He Will Equal- ize Prison Terms of Con- victed Men.

——- THIS WILL AFFECT TWO

Lehmann and Hartmann Will Probably Be Released About Christmas. Gov. Folk wil) nrobably pardon Julius Lehmann and Emile Hartmann, convict- ed St. Louis boodlers, during the com- ing winter. He said yesterday at. the Union Station that he was considering a reduction of their sentences to four years, to equalize them with others con- vVicted for the same offense. Under the three-fourths rule for good behavior this would result in freedom for them about Christmas time. Lehmann and Hartmann were the long-term boodlers. Hartmann was sen- tenced at a time when popular indigna- tion was high on account of the re- versal of a sentence of three years against Edward Butler. He was sen- tenced to six years. Lehmann was sen- tenced to seven years. The longest term of any other boodler was four years. Lehmann was host at the noted “birthday party,’’ at which $2500 each was given to the men who put through the lighting bill. The fact that the money was distributed at Lehmann’s home in North St. Louis is generally accepted ‘as the cause of the severity of his sentence. Daughter Took Petition. A daughter of Lehmann took a peti- tion to Jefferson City signed by all the men who served as jurors when he was convicted and by hundreds of St. Louis- ans. When she presented it to Gov. Folk she told him of Mrs. Lehmann’s insanity, said by physicians to been caused by the disgrace to Leh- mann. If Lehmann were pardoned, she told the Governor, there might be some hope of restoring his wife’s reason. Gov. Folk was Circuit Attorney when the cases were tried and it was his prosecution that sent the men to the Penitentiary. It has long been considered possible by friends of the imprisoned men that Gov. Folk would equalize their sen- tences with the sentences of other con- victed boodlers. He said yesterday that he did not know just when they would be liberated, but that he expected to take the matter up early this week and reduce their sentences to four years. 70V. Folk was on his way to Jefferson City from Bethany, where he lectured Friday.

Mi DOROTHY [7ORTON ae “ERE is a scene fit for the pen of a Bret Harte: a typical Western mining camp— most typical of any now left in America —a struggling frame church, scantily furnished, a patient little priest fretting because he has no music to charm the rough miners into attend- mce at what they otherwise consider a dry serv- Enter the “ex-variety actress,” not fallen from her former estate afd a faded beauty in this case, but charming, full-voiced and willing, choosing tne life of the camp because of love of her hus- band whose business has called him there. She hears of the struggling church and its priest who SuysS masses to empty benches and grieves_ be- cause the members of the camp seek the gambling - houses and saloons on Sunday night ‘ Comes now the “ex-variety actress” at the crit- ical moment and offers to sing for the priest and form a choir out of whatever material lies at hand. They agree and they proceed. The miners become interested and by hard work the chcir grows a little. Dut there is no music, no money to pay certain singers vho. demand pay before they will assist, and the church is not outfitted in a manner to pit its attractions against the gayly lighted places * of amusement. | Enter once more the handsome actress and pro- poses “a play.” At first the priest is shocked, but she makes him see the proposal in her light and he accedes to the plan. But now what shall they play? Truly, she has an extensive reper- toire and one that has held the best audiences throughout the land, but the proper stage set- tings cannot be obtained nor is the caste at hand. Once more the fertile brain of the actress -serves its part. She writes a play of her own. And in it she introduces plenty of “local color.” She ar- ranges her lines and her climaxes so they will appeal to the people for whom they are intended; she makes her characters live as the miners know life;‘and even selects them from among the men whom é6verybody in camp knows “by their front names.” Meanwhile she has interested this per- gon and that and the most promising among them have been given parts in “the show.” As the time for the performance approaches the anticipation of the .cemp’s inhabitants grows apace, > Nightly the coming show is the principal topic of conversation in the free-and-easy estab- lishiments.

OOOO | > ; uy aye wee for the church, plenty Of ligtivs anu lots of ‘fx- in’s” such as the miners’ tastes have demanded before they could be attracted to the little house of worship. And it is even so. It was a musical satire on the mining camp. All the principal people were made the butt of little jokes that hit off their peculiarities so well as to bring forth roars of laughter and applause and yet were so kindly as to leave the victim rather pleased with himself than otherwise. There was “singin’” and “dancin’”’—phew! You bet! Lots of it. And at the close somebody who knew what was the proper thing suggested a speech from the “leading lady,” whereupon, she having responded, the crowd seemed determined that they just wouldn’t go home ’till morning. . And the priest is happy, now, for his chwreh has an organ and better lights and plenty of “fixin’s,” while the “actress lady” leads a well- filled choir which has all the music it can use or needs. And do the miners and prospectors and gamblers now really go to church? They cer- tainly do. Maybe it is to hear’ the little priest preach and say masses—maybe it isn’t. Any- hew, they go. All of which occurred in Goldfield, Nev., the wonderful new desert mining camp. And the Alct- ‘ress lady” was St. Louis’ own Dorothy Morton, one time “The Widow” in Henry W. Savage's first presentation of “The Prince of Pilsen.” Dorothy Morton, known from one end of the land to the other, and particularly well known here in St. Louis, is now leading the choir in the Catholic Church Henry M. Schwab, the steel magnate, gave to Goldfield after he took his little flyer for a few million out there a month or so ago. . When @Miss Morton arrived at Goldfield she found the church in the condition described. She attempted to liven it up by singing every: Sunday and organizing a choir. But finding little to work with and less intere&t she wrote a play, framing it around the sale of the “Sassy Sal”, to a titled >) yas ly > cS h%e ww SRR \\ A AX “\ \ ws wt & “ \ Ww. . ‘wy RIS . ¥ £ ae y 4 i” \ aN Yor “ ~ . wy , - Y ay \ \ AAA ~ a I RAYS 4 Set VO s. 7.

And the house sold out, the tickets went to a premium and the priest came into his own. She did not repeat the play at Goldfield, although the demand for her to do so was voiced on all sides, but she took the automobile stage over to Tone peh, and the good will and approval of Goldfield —and not a few of that camp’s residents—went with her to assist in her suecess there. Dorothy Merton is now Mrs. Frederic Conger. Mr. Conger was once a member of the “Prince of Pilsen” company and they fell in love and were married. Then Conger invented a new gold test- ing process and his wife went with him into the desert where its value could be determined. They have a number of claims near Goldnteld and Dor- othy Morton, once the favorite of the footlights, wined and dined and feted, knows what it is to prospect with pick and pan under the burning suns of a Nevada desert. : She lives in a ’dobe house and writes St. Louis friends that she knows what it is to do her own ironing and washing—to say nothing of her cook- ing. But she’s happy, she says—something that was not always true in the other days. And she and her husband have acquired the true prospec- tor’s spirit, for Dorothy Morton writes home. “We hope to make a strike next month and then we will be on Easy street.” But she adds that she doesn’t know that she wante to leave Gold. field after all; although, she admits, there are times when she would-like to hear at least the rattle of a street car.

Modern Inventions Mark Pass- ing of the Horse and Wiuie in St. Louis Hauling and Dray- ing—Majority of Machines Opzrated by Electricity. OOM of the dray and truck horse in St. Louis is foretold in the rapidly increasing number of electric delivery wagons now to be seen on the streets. The self-propelling commercia:z street freighter may eventually almost entirely dis- place the peeae-creee wagon. The horseless age is being “ushered in.’ ‘ One after another of the biggest wholesale and manufacturing institutions of St. Louis is experi- menting with the power dray, and many firms or corporations have decided in favor of gasoline and electric power. The horse stable is giving way to the garage, and the stable “hand” to the mechanic and the motorman. In place of the feed stable is the power station, and the blacksmith shop is passed by for the tire store. It has been pretty thoroughly demonstrated that there is a saving of 6 per cent, and often more, in the use of power drays over wagons drawn by horses. Horses must be fed three times a day, the power ,wagon only once. Forses must be watered and curried and protected against disease and epi- demic and accident. Science makes the power wagon a less troublesome “animal” to handle. _The Busch stables within a very few months, will give way to immense sheds for power drays. The company is practically displacing its hundreds of fine horses, now having about 40 big commercial

<A mT

wagons in use in the streets of St. Louis and al- most as many more in service in other cities. Its wagons are all operated by electric batteries. The batteries for the big trucks cost between $300 and $800 and the complete wagons cost from, $1500 to $4000 each, according to size and capacity. The Busch horse wagon drivers have frequently mastered the steering of an electric dray in 30 minutes. A hardware company has one big wagon in opera- tion. It is a speedy five-ton truck with electric power. Such a wagon usually weighs close to three or four tons. A three-ton wagon with a dead-weight load of five tons running through the streets at an average speed of between seven and ten miles an hour—the commercial rate of speed—gives the im- pression of a young railway box car astray. A stationery company and a printing company each have a big electric truck of high capacity and capable of more than ten miles an hour when the streets will allow. A medicine company was one of the first St. Louis concerns to use the electric truck, and a drug com- pany now has a large commercial dray in use. A baking company put a heavy electric dray into ser- vice some time ago. Other firms are preparing to displace horses and tongue wagons of the old style with up-to-date power drays. The Bell Telephone Co. has four electric trucks. Besides using these to carry material and supplies for telephone service over the streets, use is made of them in another way. The medium-sized two- ton trucks are each fitted with an electric winch and an additional storage battery for use in drawing cables through manholes and conduits. The wagons are also put into service in stringing cables from pole to pole overhead in streets and alleys. The. electric windlass can be run by the same battery which supplies power for the driving of the truck. The Union Electric Light and Power Co. has three wagons in service, which are used in the same man- ner. When the North American Co. completes its plans for street railway improvement in St. Louis, the present “trouble wagons,” or repair wagons, which are drawn with horses, will be displaced with elec- tric wagons of high speed which can be operated on

the rails of the street car tines wherever the tracks are open and on the open streets without loss of time in changing from rails to asphalt or brick or cobblestones, The Union Electric Light and Power Co. recently opened a new garage for handling electric automo- biles of the heavy class in the rear of No. 3933 Olive street, and a new power station or charging station is being erected in the 4000 block on Morgan street. In a short time charging stations will be located conveniently throughout the city. It is stated by firms in the business of supplying batteries for the big commercial trucks that these trucks are cheaper than horse wagons, one item of difference in favor of the electric or gasoline power truck being that of maintenance. This cost for a heavy truck will run from $300 to $800 a year or more. aie The average run of a truck is about 25 miles a day. No truck in use in St. Louis w:ll often make more miles in a day. The cost of battery main- tenance, in addition to that of truck cost, about one-fourth or a dittle less. A will run firm in St.

*

OUTS 4S EPHONE WAGANT

Gouis which furnishes many batteries for trucks states that the life of a battery in truck service will vary from 3000 to 18,000 miles. The great majority of the commercial power wag- ons in use in St. Louis are electric, these being pre- ferred by many on account of ease in handling them. The batteries now in use can be recharged from any direct current. Many firms which use power wag- ohs have several batteries, and when one gives out it is removed and one full-charged is placed in its receptacle under the truck.. This method saves time and helps to swell the per cent advantage of the power truck over the use of the old-fashioned wagon and horses. In mastering the feat of driving a power truck with an electric battery, it is only necessary that a former driver of horses use his same judgment of distance and learn to handle the controller and steering wheel. The brake is operated by the foot, and on most wagons the bell is arranged for opera- tion by foot. Speed judgment is acquired in a few hours by a good horse driver. One of the biggest items of economy in favor of the power truck is made during the hot summer months, when a high-power machine can be made to do the work of six or eight horses and three or four men. Still another advantage of the power truck over

the horse truck is the saving of energy om down- — grade runs. The action of a battery on & power truck is reversed on a down grade and the power | used in pulling up grade is made to check the speed of a truck coasting down a hill. .The trucks are in better control in coasting than are wagons mie : ~~ by horses, The saving on this item of “coasting” alone by the Anheuser-Busch company is considerable, Tons of beer are coasted from the brewery across Broadway - to storage houses and refrigerator cars below. In this case, the only power required is that to run the motor trucks back up fhe hill. In many Eastern and Northern cities motor buses and wagons seating almost as many persons as a street car are in use. Numerous attempts have been made to introduce the motor-bus business into St. Louis, but the cost of operation and of maintenance and the original price of motors have always proven prohibitive. Edison and others are working to perfect electric motors which ean be used for general freight and passenger transporta- tion service at much less cost than at present, and when this perfect low-cost motor is finally found and various improvements and cheaper methods are installed for gasoline power, the horse will, it is predicted, be crowded still further back and his age will have passed.

po eee More Bible Quotations Remarkable and Effective Manner in Which ~ William Jennings Bryan Has.Made Use of the Scriptures in His Campaigns. SIDE from the simplicity and directness of Mr. Bryan’s method of speaking, probably nothing else in his speeches serves quite so ‘tr “well to impress his hearers as his frequent use of “Bible “" Baird, oa a? Many speakers have given force to their public utterances by using the lessons of “the Bible, but few have used such r@ference so effec- “tively as Mr. Bryan. In the biography of the “First Battle,” the book ~ written by Mr. Bryan after the campaign of 1896, ‘Mrs. Bryan says. “The time came when it seemed proper to have @ little conference with my father, and this was ‘something of an ordeal. In his dilemma, William sought refuge in the Scriptures, and began: ‘Mr. I have been reading Proverbs a good deal lately; we find that Solomon says: Whoso findeth quotations, “a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of * the Lord.” Miss Baird’s father replied: “Yes, I believe Solo- mon did say that, but Paul suggests that, while he _ that marrieth doeth well, he that marrieth not doeth ’ better.” Mr. Bryan answered: “Solomon would be the best “authority upon this point, because Paul was never ,. Broadway and Liberty street. married, while Solomon had a number of wives.” Mr. Bryan’s reply was effective, and he does not seem since to have overlooked the advantage of knowing the Scriptures. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at 14, and later joined the First Presbyterian Church at Jackson- ville, Ill., and on removal] to Nebraska took a letter to the First Presbyterian Church of Lincoln. In an eulogy delivered by Bryan on the death of a colleague in the Fifty-third Congress, he said: “I shall not believe that even now his light is ex- tinguished. If the Father deigns to touch with di- vine power the cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn and make it burst forth from its prison walls, will He leave neglected in the earth the soul of man, who was made in the image of his Creator? If He stoops to give to the rosebush, whose withered blos- soms float upon the breeze, the sweet assurince of another springtime, will He withhold the words of hope from the sons of men when the frosts of winter come’ If matter, mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of Nature into a multitude of forms, can never die, will the imperial spirit of man suffer annihilation after it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay? “Rather let us believe that He who, in His appar- ent prodigality, wastes not the raindrop, the blade of grass or the evening’s sighing zephyr, but makes them all to carry out His eternal plans, has given immortality to the mortal and gathered to Himself the generous spirit of our friend.” The first book Bryan gave to his wife was a vol- ume of poems containing am Ode to a Waterfowl, by Bryan, won as the first prize in his junior year on an oration, “Individual Powers.” This was Bryan’s favorite poem, which concludes: “He who from zone to zone Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I must tread alone, Will lead my steps aright.” At a banquet given by the St. Paul Methodist Church of Lincoln in the spring of 1890, Mr. Bryan replied to a toast, “The Law and the Gospel,” and in speaking of the separation of church and state, quoted: “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” Continuing, he said: “The completed life of every lawyer, either by its success or failure, emphasizes the words of Solomon, ‘The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.’” Further on, he quoted: “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; and loving favor rather than silver and gold.” “The law is negative, the gospel positive,” said Mr. Bryan. “The law says, “Do not unto others that which you would not have others do unto you,’ while the gospel declares that we should “do unto others that which we would that others should do unto us.’” In a speech on silver in Congress in February, 1893, after stating that President Cleveland had won the confidence of the toilers of the country because he taught that “public office is a public trust,” Mr. Bryan said: “But are they willing to say, in the language of Job, ‘Though He slay me, yet will I trust him?’” Later in the speech he declared that there were thousands, tens of thousands, even mil- lions, “Who have not ‘bowed the knee to Baal.’ ” The climax to his Chicago convention speech is re- membered by all, when came from his lips the sen- tence: “You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.” In his Madison Square Garden speech of accep- tance in 1696, Bryan said: “Those who daily follow the injunction, ‘In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread’ are now, as they have ever been, the bulwark of law and or- der.” Later on the same speech he declared “The commandment, ‘Thou, shalt not steal,’ thundered from Sinai and reiterated in the legislafion of all nations, is no respecter of persons.” In his Hornellsville speech he said: “The Bible speaks of certain persons who love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. Whenever I find darkness employed in the discussion of a question, or in the statement of a position, | reminded of that Bible passage.” am irresistibly In his Chicago Laber Day Speech, same Bryan quoted Solomon: “Give me nor riches, with food convenient for me, lest I Thee and say, who is the Lord? steal and take the year, feed me full, and Or lest I be of God neither poverty be deny and name in vain.” Again in the same speech he quotes from the poor my

Bible: “When the meek and lowly Nazarene came to preach ‘peace on earth, good will toward men,’ he was not welcomed by those who ‘devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers.’” And further in the same speech, he quoted; “ “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’” In a Philadelphia speech Bryan said: “I believe that the only thing in the Bible which some of these financiers ever read is the passage which says that about 1800 years ago certain wise men came from the East. They seem to think that the wise men have been coming from that direction They talk about gold as if it were di- vine. It is, in the sense that it is their god. But it is not divine; it matter. Instead of being a real god, and a thing to be worshipped, we are told that when the children of Israel made it into a calf, and began to warship it, it displeased God, and He ground the calf into powder.”

ever since. is

A few days ago, speaking of the desire of some of these same “wise men” of the East and a few in St. Louis and the West, to enlist under his ban- ner in 1908, Mr. Bryan again went to the Bible and ~ found fos them a way leading up to the rear seats on the band wagon. Of their manifested conversion Mr. Bryan said: “I do not know that we can find a better plan than the Bible plan, which admits the eleventh hour comer te a place in the vineyard, and to share the reward with those who began earlier. I think this sound politics as well as sound religion, provided the new recruit comes to work and not to interfere with the other laborers. out of consideration. the earlier bours.”

BIRD. THAT LOOKS LIKE A RHINOSCEROS HY any bird on earth should envy a rhinoc- eros sufficiently to try to look like one does not appear plain, but that charge has + been made against a peculiar breed of hornbill, found in some parts of Africa and. also in the Philippines. ' The envious creature, whose photograph is shown ~~ herewith, is known as the rhinoceros hornbill, and it is one of the queerest looking birds to be found ‘anywhere. Not content with a formidable curved ~' beak, this particular hornbill has a horn-shaped pro- jeetion on the top of its head, which gives it a most or Yhinoceros-like appearance. The horn serves some “what the same purpose as the gaudy comb of an _ ordinary barnyard rooster, It is soft and flexible «sand of a brilliant red color. When angry or attacked the rhinoceros bird lowers its head, opens ite beak wide and looks as if it “had two wide open mouths, with either of which it *' could easily devour any antagonist. The rhinoceros hornbills travel in figcks and pre- sent a most comical picture, sitting in a long row or ' jabbering with their heads together. Mires —, EE

IR HARRY JOHNSTON, the famous African explorer, who discovered the okapi and other theretofore (.uknown animals, has just pub- lished a book on his travels in Liberia, it with pictures of sorne of the strange creatures he found there. Among others is that of a fish that does not confine itself to the water, but that flops about in the sand and mud and often climbs upon the branches of trees hanging over the water and re- mains upon shore for considerable periods. The fish is called the mudskipper or bommi. Its front fins are developed into limbs resembling the flip- pers of a seal, and its face is anything but beautiful, illustrating

as may be seen by the portrait which Sir Harry took. Prof. Hans Dominik, the Berlin scientist, recently explained how it is now possible to keep fish alive out of water. “4 short time ago,” he says, “I ‘went to the lab- oratory of Dr. Eugene Erlwein, and this gentleman showed me a large glass case filled with shelves like a‘bookcase. On the shelves 1 saw a large number of fish of every variety. There were fat carp and pike, trout and bass, all well and happy. They moved their: gills and fins exactly as if they were in.the water, although they had not felt this element for 30 hours. “The floor of the case was covered with a thick layer of damp cloth. Further investigation showed that the air in the box was not air at all, but pure OXygen. : POST-DISPATCH:

OST remarkable of any political battle of modern times is that to be fought in Oklahoma and Indian Territory this fall. Opposing each other are the “Inter- ests” and “Idealists. To profit by all the experi- ments and all the experiences of all the ages is the hope of all “Model State men.” And ‘to in- corporate all the patents and improvements, registered and unregistered, that have spruny from the minds and methods of bosses, big and little, in one simple, smooth-running ma- chine is the hope of the “Interests’—the “Sys- tem.” Skirmish lines are already thrown out. Every tall tree in Indian Territory holds an adept sharpshooter and the woods are full of guerrillas, In Oklahoma these advance guards vf the main army are sheltered behind the hummocks and hidden in the buffalo wallows. Constitutional districts now being outlined form the first outposts to be attacked. When nominations are made for men to be voted on for delegates to the Constitutional Convention the battle will get warmer, But the heavy ar- tillery will not be brought into action until the campaign preceding the November election. FTER the men who will make the new State’s A constitution have been selected, the fighting forces will be concentrated in an effort to gontrol methods, Until the delegates elected in November shall meet in Constitutional Convention next spring they will be the front and center of attack. In the meantime flank movements will be exe- cuted in preparation for the capture of a few Con- gressmen. And the boards of strategy of the oppo- sition armies will be outlining, all this time, the -further fight to control the first Governor of the new State and to acquire possession of two brand new United States Senators. So while the present preliminaries are for a bat- tle, that engagement is, in truth, only the opening of a giant war—a war for the possession of a Great American Commonwealth. Khode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Mon- tana—these have been accounted fairly good “ma- “The System.” | chine” States at one time or another in the past. Also St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and other cities have approached perfection in the municipal machine class, But occasionally in all these States and cities a cog has slipped, an attachment has refused to work at a critical moment. And above all the machines have had a tendency to grow rusty between elec- tions—the oiling process has been too expensive. But here is a new commonwealth being builded from stem to stern. Here is an opportunity for the “Interests,” if left alone, to construct a ship of State that will always have an anchor to windward and be able to face, with all] sails set, the fiercest reform storms that time may bring. Campaign Books to Be Open Resolution adopted by the Executive Committee of the new State Democracy: Resolved, That it is the policy of the Cam- paign Committee that the Financial Committee do not solicit nor accept any campaign funds whatever from any public service corporation nor from any special or favored interests, whether corporation or otherwise, which will likely seek partial or favorable action before the Constitutional Convention inimica] to the inter- ests of the people as a whole. That the secretary of the committee shall at all times keep a correct itemized statement sub- ject to inspection by all proper persons of all contributions, showing the amounts and sources from which received, That it shall be the policy of the Finance Committee to raise the necessary and legitimate expense funds for the campaign from among the whole people in smaller amounts rather than from a few individuals in larger amounts, to the end that this may be in fact, as well as in name, a fight of the people and Democracy for their rights in the organic law of the new State. , But do the “Idealists,” the “Model State men,’ propose to allow the “System” to carry out its absorbing task of machine-making in peace? Not they. On the contrary they see here an opportunity as great as any the machine builders hope to grasp. Missouri has done some trust-busting in her time. Kansas has a reputation for being perpetually en- gaged in house-cleaning, Texas did some astonish- ing things to the railroad cliques of the Lone Star State. Even Arkansas hurled a big bomb into the insurance camp, OKlahoma-—the new State—is a sister to these. She lies in approximately the same latitude and longitude, She is not far enough South for a tropic haziness to cloud her conscience, nor yet North- ward to that degree that she must house up half the year to keep her moral nose from freezing. She — PEANSYLVANIA TS has the climatic condition and this is the psycgho- logical moment, the “Model State men” claim, for the erection of a political structure that will be clean throughout. No flaws are to enter it if the reform element can help themselves. Mud and mortar will not take the place of steel and stone and brick, the exponents of political cleanliness say, if care in the selection of men who will have charge of the construction of the State has any effect. This contingent proposes to see that men without “corporation connections” are nominated for dele- gates to the Constitutional Convention. Also, they are looking for men of broad understanding, men who are up to date on the subject of legislation “by the people, for the people.” By this means it is hoped that the new constitu- tion of Oklahoma will be made to carry all the wise and beneficial amendments that other States have found necessary to tack on after years of experi- ence, Further, according to this view, the new State’s constitution should go a little in advance of all that has heretofore been done. It should be a document, say these hopeful ones, containing the essence of all that is good in the constitutions of the other States of the Union and of the United States. In selecting from these, the “Idealists” point out, the delegates to the convention should be men of such grasp that they can bring to bear an analysis of the ideas and ideals of foreign governments, of sociologists and of statesmen and apply the best to the making of the new document. It should not be the product of politicians and railroad lawyers and trust pro- moters, they argue, but a governing code that really will provide the greatest good to all the people. Oklahoma and Indian Territory have already been ridden by Standard Oil, the great railroads, the Lumber Trust and numerous other combinations, it is averred. Theirs has been a heavy hand on the territories which will form the new State. There has been much of speculation and corruption in the dealings of combined capital with ofl leases, Indian rights and government lands and franchises gen- erally, : Some of the industries perfected by these “trusts” have done much for the development of the territo- ries, the “Model State men” admit, but they point out grimly that there was nothing of philanthropy in“that development. Of course, the “Interests” are not conducting their campaign as openly as are the “Tdealists.” That would be impossible, for one of the chief weapons of the candidates and speakers who have railroad and corporate “leanings” is to deny that there is any “combination of interests” S eeemienl those stars whose luster is beginning to fade, frequently themselves purchase bouquets which are handed up to them “from an admirer,” but it is not so generally known that many of the male members of the profession resort to a similar method of self- advertisement. They do not buy themselves bouquets, but pres- ents.

Many of the foolish women who worship the “matinee idols,” and incidentally fill the coffers of the management, actually send presents, often very valuable ones, to their dashing young (sometimes not really very young) heroes. One romantic singer is reported to have a yearly sale of articles of vertu so received. But all are not equally favered, and the less popular do not like the management to be- lieve that their smiles are not potent in attracting the women, who are the mainstay,of all musical ——e — comedy theaters (for they bring the men), and re- sort to subterfuge. So, when Mr. So-and-So finds it necessary to buy himself a new silver, monogram cigarette case, it is not sent straight home from a fashionable jew- elex’s, but addressed to the theater in a female hand- writing, possibly with a pretty little note attached, as often as not written by Mrs. So-and-So, who is quite alive to the fact that the more the boxoffice manager thinks of her husband’s drawing powers the more money he will earn for the home; and it is curious how the presents arrive on days when the manager is expected to “drop in.” SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS in the campaign. Also, they seek to ridicule the plans of the “Model State men.” It is these opposition lieutenants and spellbind- ers who have characterized the “Model State men” as “Idealists.” They are not practical in their plans for a constitution for the new State, say the men who are indicated as “trust” orators. “Most of these ‘Model State men’ are simply a lot of wild-eyed reformers,” said a widely known rail- road attorney from Oklahoma recently when inter- viewed on the contest here outlined, This man is credited with aspirations for a seat in the United States Senate, and it has been charged that the railroad he serves is the father of his yearnings in that direction, “If we listened to these people we would come into the Union with the taint of anarchy on us,” he continued, “Capital would be frightened away from the new State and all the enormous develop- ment that has brought the two territories to their present wonderful prosperity would be retarded be- yond measure.. My friends do not think it advisable that [ should take a stand as strong as this pub- licly, so I do not care to be quoted, but if I were left to my own free will in the matter I would stump both territories on these grounds, —_—— the excellent foundation we now have for one that is, to say the least, untried. Oklahoma should have a business constitution built by business men, and she should have business men and experienced men as Governors, Congressmen, Senators and other officials,” The feeling against eorporations has become s0 strong in some parts of the new State that the sentiment has been expressed by .men ordinarily regarded as conservative in their political views, ‘that no man who is connected with any corpora- tion should be elected to the Constitutional Conven- tion. That view is probably too radical to meet with general approval for it is recognized that many of the corporations, transacting business in Okla- homa are a legitimate sort, most of them of a local rather than a general character, There will, how- ever, be a bitter fight against allowing known rep- resentatives of the great trusts and “corporate in- terests,” and especially the railroads, to have rep- resentation in the convention.

Republicans contend that this vote is not as large as the Democrats believe, but admit that it has been sufficient to make a correct estimate of the political complexion of the State impossible. Again, there 1s a large class of people in the two territories who are waiting to align themselves with whichever party takes the lead at the first election and promises to have control of the patronage, It is alleged by the “Idealists” that corporation “stool pigeons” have been placed at strategic points all over the two territories, some of them labeled “Democrats,” others “Republicans,” in order that the “Interests” will take no chances, but will have at least a representation in, tf not control of, whichever party proves to be stronger when the final show-down comes. votes which party will ‘ “Our people know what it means to be shut off from the advantages that capital brings. They know what a land without railroads is, and how they had to struggle to get the ‘combinations’ these ‘Idealists’ condemn to come into our country. This development has been too recent for us to forget what preceded it, and I believe that the thing to do is to wade right in and preach this sort of gospel from every platform. And I wouldn’t resign my position as a railroad attorney to do it, either. “I believe in a big, broad constitution and in big, broad men to frame it.

The provisions of the Texas law seem to meet with quite general favor. Efforts will also be made to secure the insertion of an anti- pass provision, although Dr. John Williams Duke, Mayor of Guthrie, and one of the prominent Demo- crats of Oklahoma, goes to the other extreme and believes that the railroads should be compelled to issue free transportation to all public officials. R. L. Williams, Democratic National Committee- man for Indian Territory, and one of the leading candidates for Governor of the new State, is par- ticularly active in his opposition to corporate in- terests. He expects, among other things, to have a resolution introduced in the Constitutional Conven- tion to empower a committee to summon witnesses to ascertain from what sources al] campaign con- tributions have come. He also advocates that tle Democratic organization refuse to accept any con- tribution that comes from the Standard Oil Co., the railroad interests ex the Coal Trust in the territory. He declares that the corporation fight will center — on an attempt to control the Constitutional Conven- tion and the first State Legislature, which selects the first United States Senators. It is generally believed, however, that the cor- porate interests will make as much of a struggle for supremacy in the selection of State officials as they will §g the Constitutional Convention, and the candidate who is supposed to be in any way identi- fied with the corporations which would control the — State will find that fact a great handicap in getting the support uf the people. The only State office for which any active contest has been started so far is that of Governor, bué candidates for that office are numerous, On the ~ Democratie side there are four Indian Territory ~~ candidates and three from Oklahoma: R. L. Wilke © liams of Durant, J. J. McAlesteg of McAlester, Lee Cruce of Ardmore, F. B. Fite of Muskogee, Frank Dale of Guthrie, Thomas Doyle of Perry and L. G, Pitman of Shawnee. Williams resigned both his railroad jobs when he entered the race for Governor, so as to be free from entanglements. Gov. Frank Frantz is the most prominent Republican possibility, with Thomas Reid of El Reno and J. W. McNeal of Guthrie also men- tioned. On the Republican side the four men most prom- inently mentioned for Senator are Dennis T, Flynn, Bird S. McGuire, Clarence B. Douglas and Pliny L, Soper. The Democratic candidates so far announced are S. M. Rutherford of Muskogee, Roy V. Hoff- man of Chandler, Henry M. Furman of Ada, and T. P. Gore of Lawton, Activity in the matter of selection of candidates for election to the Constitutional Convention has not yet settled on particular individuals for the rea- son that the constitutional districts have not yet been designated. A commission for districting the territories is composed chiefly of Federal Judges, eq separate commission for each territory, . A As soon as the physicol bounds of the various e. divisions are known the fight will begin in earnest, At present men have been picked in every quarter of the proposed new State as candidates for these honors, but they cannot begin a campaign, nor can a fight be centered on them with probable effect, until the metes and bounds of their districts are known. There are some strong men among the many ‘who . will seek a place in the Constitutional Convention. . Many regard such an honor as of more real value than selection to the United States Senate.

There is much talk of a mullion popilation within the city lim- its, of new manufactorics and industries and of the enormous building activities that are now in progress. With $25,000,- 000 worth of skyscrapers im actual course of construction, the progress of the. city 1s as by leaps and bounds. But there is another consideration towards Greatér’ St. Louis of more im- portance than any of these, which is Strikingly shown by the city-extension election just held at Belleville. It 1s the populating and closing in of adjoining towns and communities. These, while not within the actual limits of St. Louis when considered from the point of mu- nicipal lines and divisions, are, from a commercial view, really a part of the city. Their growth is easily in propor- tion to that of St. Louis herself. Lines of communication are being added and perfected-gach day, thus bringing the great e@.tral city and all her outiying childrén closer and closer and combin- wigetheir interests in one creat whole.

HE modern great city is known by the sub- urban and contiguous company she keeps. Thus Greater New York takes in Brooklyn. But, what better illustrates the St. Louis situation, Jersey City, although divided from New York City by political and natural barriers, being in another State and across the North River, is, to all com- mercial and practical purposes, actually a part of the metropolis of the United States. Likewise, East St. Louis, lying also” in another State and across the Mississippi. is, in fact, a part of St. Louis in the same commercial sense. Man; of her residents are employed or have businesses in St. Louis, many of her industries are simply ~ branches of concerns in the central city across the ~ Mississippi River, and, in short, her whole commer- cial importance is a part of that of St. Louis, On this side of the river Maplewood, Webster @roves, Clayton *»4@ other suburban towns are Suburban Progress lages and Country Around St. Louis Are Building To- ward Great Central i 7 City. simply daughters of the mother city, with | progress and her activities and successes, as the heart that forces the blood through the arteries of their collective life. Still further out are other towns, reached by a commuter service on the var)- ous railways, where are not only country homes of St. Louisans, but which count among their inhab- itants many who are employed downtown at work which allows of their taking plenty of time in com- ing from and going to their homes. Around New York this class of towns extends for a hundred niles in different directions. Likewise Chicago sup- ports a number of such semi-suburban villages and They are her towns within an hour or two of the city. becoming more and more numerous around St. Louis. The matter of communication, of transportation, has much to do with the suburban development of a city, but that is a growth which comes with the demand, even as the demand becomes greater as the means of transportation multiply. Fast muter trains on the steam roads are adding to this population around St. Louis, while the building of electric lines is doing even more. urbs and subdivisions of the city are developing with such rapidity that many of them are fast becoming an actual part of St. Louis. Filorisant, only a short while ago, was lying almost entirely to itself. Recently the Suburban line has installed a double track and put on more cars, and with the bet- tered facilities of transportation property has been bought up, residences built and families moved in until St. Louis and Florisant are almost one. Belleville’s city-extension election, taken in con- nection with a similar move now contemplated by East St. Louis, is a most remarkable instance of the manner in which outlying suburbs are grasping hands and, combined, reaching for' Greater St. Louis. bDeeville is @ citv of 20,000 inhabitants, lying some fifteen miles from East St. Louis. From East St. Louis to Belleville extends an electric line, and along this is an almost continuous row of residences, con- stituting, to all intents and purposes, a city street, Recently residents along this street from Kdgmont to Belleville, a distance of seven miles, petitioned the authorities of Belleville to take them into that com- Closer-lying sub-

But this possible new land of promise for St. Louis suburban- ites is not alone for ti.e rich, by any means. It is said to contain great possibilities for the small farmer and the truck gardeuer who desires to be close to a great market.

The summer gardens are on the watch, and there is much wailing agd gnashing of teeth. Girls who do not keep good hours and whose faces show lines of dissipation are not desired by the garden man- agements. However, and, therefore, there is something new. The “Willie Boys” have fitted up little cottages of their own, some say, way out in St. Louis County, which is encoimpassed about with more wickedness than the deputy sheriffs can handle.

‘ THAT | MR ROCKEFELLER HA? SUDDENLY TURNED AFFABLE”

“The Publicity Department of Standard Oil Is the Hugest Joke of the Financial Age.” YOUND Miss Tarbell resting in a svivan retreat eight miles from a railroad station, on what she described as a deserted farm. The weather- Leaten cottage is one of thousands which have been closed in New England because the old folks have died and the voung folks have fled to manufactur- ing towns. Nitting in a common steamer chair, on a shady lawn, calm-eyed, judicial, vet feminine in every ges- ture and intonation, Miss Tarbell remarked: “John D. Rockefeller today is the most tragic fig- ure in the public eye.” This woman, in her simple blue chambray frock, her immaculate linen, her regularly pompadoured black hair, barely touched here and there with sil- ver, the laughter dying in her expressive eyes, her slender, weil-kept hands clasped about her Knee, was pitying the richest man in the world! Before Miss Tarbell wrote “The History of the Standard Oil Co.” she was a recognized writer on historical subjects. Today her fame rests chiefly on that exhaustive arraignment. And here, far from the hue and cry, she Is prepar- ing another great historical series, which will deal With modern times, times pregnant with possibili- ties tor the future America. This she hopes to have completed so that the opening chapter may appear in the November number of “The American Maga- zine,” which Miss Tarbell, with Mr. J. 8. Phillips of the McClure-Phillips Co.; Ray Stannard Baker, Lin- coln Steffens, Peter Finley Dunne and William Allen White hope to make a power in American life. Everything that Miss Tarbell writes commands the attention of her enemies and compels the admiration of her friends, She is one of the modern maxers of history. I give here the words of Miss Tarbell in my inter- esting interview on the subject of the Oil King. Miss Tarbell’s New Arraignment of John D. Rockefeller. (Copyright, 1906, by the Press Publishing Co.) ) ANYONE who has made a study of Mr. Rockefeller, his methods and the methods of the great trust of which he is the inspiration (however much he may deny active connection with the Standard Oil Co.), the disappointment of the pu'stic on his return from abroad would be pathetic, tf it were not so amusing. For some reason the American public naa been led to believe in the reformation of Rockefeller, Cable- grams from France, anecdotes of his Jite on ship- board, the establishment of a publicity bureau in the Standard Oil headquarters in New York afl had caused a false notion to spread that Mr. Rockefeller had suddenly turned affable, almost human, in fact. The public in general seemed to expect the richest sen in the world to return to his native land strangely humbled, to lay bare his business secrets to the press and to accompany the sheriffs back to Findlay. O., and there expose every transaction of this mighty corporation that has defied the laws and the courts. Mr. Rockefeller friendly, nay, “chummy” witly the press! The Standard Oil Co. inviting the press to come early and often to confer with its publicity head, an experienced newspaper man who would know just what the press representatives and PAGE SIX. the various great men in the corporation. their readers would like to learn! The grea: trust and its great head willing and anxious to lead a beautiful, open life! This new this sudden desire to take the American public irfto its confidence, is a huge joke, and none realize this better than the representatives creed, ‘of the press who have appealed to the publicity de- partment of the Standard Oil Co. and have recefved imported cigars when they asked for information. Mr. Rockefeller has not reformed. The Standard Oil Co. has not reformed. But—there is a difference. They are playing the old game more craftily than ever. And they are employing the finest brains that money can buy to help them play the game more ably, Mr. Rockefeller has always been affable—when you could reach him and vou were willing to talk about the weather, his health or golf. But mention business, Standard Oil interests or courts, and he became a modern Sphinx, who would put the lady of the desert to shame. Mr. Rockefeller did not talk business in France nor on shipboard. He did not talk business when he landed in New York. He will never talk it. Silence is his motto. Like all his fellow craftsmen in Standard Oil, he knows that the instant he talks he is lost. The Same Old Policy of Silence. Silence today, tomorrow and for all days, so long as he can dodge the questions, or when he becomes too weak to dodge them, so long as he can _ hire guards to ward off those who would ask. “Keep still! Keep all! Get more!” That is the Rockefeller creed in a nutshell. Mr. Rockefeller may go to Findlay, U.—but he will not lay bare the transactions of his great trust. He has dodged on the witness stand before. He will not hesitate to dodge again. The only difficulty in his path today is in the fact that the examining, officers are better posted than they have ever been before. They know how to ex- tract information, because they have some exact in- formation on which to work. They will know when they have scored a point. In other hearings, when they had proof of a damaging nature, they did not recognize the fact because they were working in the dark. Light has been shed on the devious ways of the Standard Oil Co., and therefore Mr. Rockefeller may have more difficulty in committing perjury in his usual highly polished and artistic fashion. But when he steps down from the witness chair I am willing to prophesy that the court will have ex- tracted little or no information. He is the most re- markable man of the day in this particular line. He resembles above all things an intellectual eel being skinned. As for the publicity department of the Standard Oil Co., that is the hugest joke of the financial age. You who enter its portals will bring away precisely what you carry in—not a jot or tittle more. That is, if you have information that is authoritative and irrefutable, that information will be confirmed, but nothing will be added. You will be treated cour- teously, you will hear most amusing anecdotes about BM. si, Rogers, if he happens to be in sight, may joke about temperance, and William Rockefeller may pass a A NC: ACSI Apt OLLIE ATER, | Be = ays merry quip about automobiling, as they have done before, but in the matter of Standard O11 secrets you will receive a fine cigar, kept for the purpose of soothing foo zealous interviewers into forgetfulness. The secret of this affability on the part of Mr Rockefeller and his corporation, if such affability is more pronounced, lies in the fact that they have awakened to the power of public opinion. There was a day when they despised the public. They had a power superior to public opinion, to the press; to the people as a whole. Now, having been threatened through the press, they have decided to make them- selves solid through the same papers—and thus reach and control public opinion. Public Will No Longer Be Put Off. And let me add right here that the attitude of the press and the public toward this change of tactics rather bewilders even the astute mind of Rockefeller and his supporters. Heretofore—that is, before the exposure of Standard Oil methods—when the great men chose to be affable and pleasant they gov what they wanted. Those who came in contact with them in these rafé moments of affability were so dazzled that they rushed to do the bidding of the powers. But that day is no more. Today the American public demands not tie veneer of politeness and amiability but the solid heart of deeds—honest, open and above-board deeds. They do not want the bluff of politeness when an occasional expose shows that the Standard Oil is still having illicit dealings with railroads, only in much more secret, much more crafty fashion than in the old days of open defiance of public opinion and the law. They demand that the law be complied with. To me, John D. Rockefeller, with all his wealth, all his power, is today the most pitiful figure in the world. You may glory in your power, your success, however gained, for a time—but for a time only. That time has expired for John D. Rockefeller. To- day there is creeping upon him the day of reckon- ing, of realization. The public opinion whieh he once scorned and defied has become desirable to him. And he cannot buy it. If he had a sense of humor he would be a terrible figure—but he could have so much fun. Unfortunately, he takes life seriously. Has No Saving Sense of Humor. I have studied him long and earefully.. John D, Rockefeller has no sense of humor. He cannot ex- tract humor from his situation, for he is not a cynic, In reality he takes himself so seriously that he has become narrow. His gaze for so many years was set on that pinhead spot, a dollar, that he cannot now broaden his horizon. His social life is interesting, because his position as a’ magnate draws sycophants, not friends. He is denied even the simple fellowships which you and I glean by the wayside of toil. As a social figure he is neither interested nor interesting. | He has kept away from other men, lived away from other lives, until] he is no longer a social factor. “Ah,” but you say, “what of his religion ?” I answer that question advisedly. Mr. Rockefeller’s religious bluff was the greatest bluff ever practiced. He believed that the Church was an institution to back up against. It was his moral vertebrae. If he supported it, the Church was bound to support him —i. e., save him, not in the life to come, either, but in public estimation. When the ee went back on him it was positively tragic, ; SUNDAY Aga EST LOUIS

ot that Mr. Rock- | efeller’s denomination or pastor has denounced him. The Church, backed by his gifts, was simply not strong enough to influence public opinion for him. It could not still ethical sentiment once aroused. As a religious, philanthropic, social figure, Mr. Rock- efeller, multi-miJlionaire or billionaire, simply is not in it. The public has stripped off his religious dis- guise, and his shivering, naked soul is uncomforta- ble. And all this hurts. You and I, the multj-million- aire who can buy social privileges and the thief in the Tombs who has lost al]! social standing, all care about the opinion of our neighbors. And so. does John D. Rockefeller. When the medical institution which he endowed so richly to aid research that should ease the suffering of humenity, was dedicated last month, no ripple of applause greeted the men- tion of his name. Science was grateful for oppor- tunity, but tainted money held even kid-gloved hands silent. Do you think that the exploitation of this little incident, so significant of the attitude of his fellow citizens toward him, was calculated to fill the soul of John D. Rockefeller with satisfaction, with the realization of a good deed well done? ‘‘The Thickest Epidermis in the World.”’ I do not say that public opinion has got beneath the skin of John D. Rockefeller. When it does it will have pierced the thickest epidermis, spiritually, ethically speaking, that exists the world over. It can be sure of reaching any man who defies the law or good opinion of his neighbors in future. John D. Rockefeller today is the most tragic figure in the public eve. He-is the reductio ad absurdum of all present-day tendencies, vices and conditions. Confession precedes reformation. What has Mr. Rockefeller confessed? Nothing! Therefore, reform is not at hand. If he appreciated the game he has played all these years he could laugh. This would niean a complete death of conscience and would make him the most terrible, not the most tragie, figure. But he is not this—he is a man with a con- science that public opinion, not religion, may some No one in the world today can match Therefore, when day reach. him in resistance to public opinion. he does break, how terrible will be the crash! mF "THR.

So we have Mr. Rockefeller with a skin which public opinion is slowly but surely piercing, with a conscience which this relentless needle will surely reach, unsupported by real religion, unrelieved by a sense of humor, awaiting his oncoming fate, the rapid approach of a billion dollars. It is inevitable that he will become a billionaire, and somehow I can close my eves and watch this man who has al- ways worshiped the power of;money, cringing be- fore that terrible weight of wealth. An Avalanche of Wealth. A billion dollars! He cannot stop the inflow of money now. Like a great avalanche that wealth is pouring in upon him, rolling, rolling, gathering volume. And in that day when public opinion pierces beneath the moral skin—and he tries to make resti- tution, what then? Men whom he crushed will be dead. Business concerns that he wrecked will. be blotted from the face of the earth, their members scattered, all cursing Rockefeller. The oil producer, the oil refiner, the oil consumer—how can he trace them to the four corners of the earth, crying: “Here, take back all that is coming to you—and restore the approving public opinion I crave?” No, he cannot do this. Instead he must divide his prodigious fortune into bequests. Ten-millien-dollar bequests! “Think of it. Ten million doliars to one fund! One of these funds will provide pensions for retired college professors. What doe this pension fund mean? Quarrels, politics, energies wasted in securing, through wire-pulling and sycophantic cring- ing, the petty pension for old age, and these energies drawn from the classrooms whose students should be benefited, not robbed, through the benefactions of a millionaire. That is the curse of billions. It will make of us a nation of sycophants and favor seekers, not brawny, God-fearing, earnest laboring men and women. A race of polite paupers! It is enough to make the signers of the Declaration of Indepen- dence turn over in their graves. But I believe the fate of John D. Rockefeller will be.a warning to all men, and he will be the first and the last of the billionaires. Many unthinking brainy, This reaction seems natural to anyone w has studied history.

This time they do not blow over, The Standard Oil Co. has not the freedom today that if had in other campaigns. It must secure privileges with the utmost secrecy, and the | railroad law will make this harder than ever, The greatest result of recent exposures and ‘ tigations is an aroused fear of social ostracism.

We must — work until we put an end, to those special privileges, — until it becomes dishonorable in the public eye oe 4 abuse the laws. Social ostracism, the finger of scorn ‘3 which mere wealth cannot buy off—these will be our most effedtive weapon. I do not consider the title of muckraker a shame ful one. Rather those who work conscientiously f the advancement of the public god should in the title. With all due respect to our President, who was the first to apply the term to’ such work: ers, I believe the title hag been misapplied. He pictures the muckraker as one who never sees we thing beyond the muck in which he rakes. : If I remeniber correctly, the muckraker of “Pile grim’s Progress” taught the souls who came way to look beyond the muck or dross to things. And that is what the modern muckraker doing—trying to teach the public that there higher things than the dross of dishonestly re lated, fabulous riches.

‘THEY SEE THE GHOST IN THE TUNNEL.” How the Strain of Constant Watching Wrecks the Minds and Health of Men Who Guard the Lives of Passen- gers Through “The Hole’’ Coming and Going From St. Louts. HE constant strain under which the op- ff erators work in the signal towers at each end of the tunnel under the city of St. Louis, connecting the railroad yards with Eads Bridge, has caused three mental breakdowns. One man ts in an asylum, one is dead, one’s whereabouts are unknown, Recently an operator who saw a train which didn’t pass and almost caused a wreck in the tunnel, resigned his position expecting certain dismissal. This strain on the operators takes the form of a fear of death in the minds of many track- men in the tunnel cnd many trainmen in the yards, and has caused a superstition that the ghost of an old watchman, who was found gcad from natural causes in the tunnel, now haunts the place and acts as watchman over tne lives of employes. A to the tunnel under the city of St. Louis at 15 The passengers feel a creeping tension of fear, but hope for light again. The coaches are stiflingly hot—every window is down, every transom is up, all doors are closed— there is not a breath of fresh air. Ahead, in the locomotive cab, the fireman holds a wet sponge to his nostrils with one hand and rings the locomotive bell with the other. The engineer, with left hand on the throttle, settles on his cushion, and waits. The fireman and the engineer cannot see two feet beyond the cab window. The signal outside the entrance said “enter,” and now the train is in the famous tunnel. Trainmen call the tunnel “the hole.” It is. In “the hole” nothing is vivid but experience. The elec- tric headlight penetrates a few feet and is swal- lowed in the dark. Smoke from the locomotive tumbles downward and is whipped by the draft of the moving train into a sulphurous tempest, which enguifs the coaches and winds about them spirally. It takes three minutes for a passenger train to make ihe run of seven-eighths of a mile through “the hole.” Trainmen and the load of human freight are in the keeping of the guardians of the tunnel signals, who sit before rows of clicking instruments, in the towers at each end of the passageway. Another train is waiting for this one to emerge at the other tm of the tunnel before it also takes hundreds of sors into the unknown for three minutes, and it is the duty of the guardians in the dispatch towers to give the signal for a clear way in the dark. This right-of-way signal is given every six min- utes. The slightest error would mean at the Jeast a delay, if not death ina pit as black as midnight. These watchers: must be keen, alert, sober men, clear-headed and balanced mentally. They must be in the pink of physical condition, perfectly balanced morally, too, and equal to eight hours of continuous strain, without one instant’s lapse of thought or memory. During every eight hours of service, each operator is responsible for the safety of from eighty to one hundred trains, and the passage of “light” or single locomotives must be sandwiched safely between the minutes of the regular schedules. When one of these men in the tower at either end of the tunnel signals a passenger train to enter, his mind concentrates upon that one single train and must not be receptive to another thought or sug- _ gestion from noise or voices. This tension of mind fe not relieved until the operator at the other end __f the tunnel signals by telephone or telegraph that the train has passed out safely. sides, with this _ message must come a detailed qo ‘tion of the Pe HEAVILY loaded passenger train glides in- miles an hour. Terrific \ Van Ay uf if f) Gi, LA ke oe Ps ad =“ train to tally with that noted by the watchman when the train entered. Immediately, like the hand of a clock set for three or four minute movements, the operator’s mind con- centrates upon the passage of another train. If the three or four minutes pass and the open signal is not received, the concentration must continue in its hard-set groove, the mind’s clock-like pointer must not swerve to the right nor to the left for one sec- ond, and at the same time the wires must be opened to ascertain, if possible, why the train has not passed out. If the operator at one end wires that the train has passed, and the automatic signal in the tower still stands at “danger,” the human-sent message must be called for again and verified. At the last, the operator is relied upon, for the human mind, combined with a sound human body, is presumed to work as nearly perfect as it is possible for anything to work. The human guardians in the towers are | obeyed implicitly. They are the law of the tunnel, This strain, this concentration upon a duty, whose performance must be unerringly carried every moment of an eight-hour watch, tells upon the nervous system and the mind of every man who undertakes a position in one of the tunnel towers. through Frequent vacations are necessary to continued health | and clean, certain nerves and perfect brain control. Every few years some operator’s mind loses its control and he becomes unfit to tend the tower watches. Often his mind, made unstable vy strain, goes on watch, in sleep and out of steep, sees sig- nals, hears clicking instruments and imagines de- lays, wreck and death. Employes in the railroad vards of St. Louis say W. F. Bullock, a leverman, died a short time ago, his mind and health affected by the strain of tunnel service. Employes also say D. 8. Luthey, an operator, now in an Illinois asylum, was a victim of service tn pro- tecting the traveling public against the dangers of the tunnel. Luthey’s service, it is state@, extended through a period of three or four years only. Still another, who had to leave the service because of temporary blindness, lost partial contro! of his mind for a time. His whereabouts are unknown to.the present workmen about the tunnel entrances. He is remembered as “Gus.” On the East Side, a few weeks ago, an operator reported a train out of the tunnel while it was still ‘* San AN 7 ‘ 4 Vy y . ne 7 ee ae — ——eeee -_- — il \ iy Wi Wi | j y AB *\ wee. ae 4 a > The signals did not show that the He repeated his first message. Asked to Main street. train was out. for a description of the train, he gave it exactly. Another train was into the tunnel. The last ear had hardly disappeared through the opening of “the hole” when the onera‘or—known as Brown— let a | corrected his former message, stating that the train was still in the tunnel. Two-trains were now in “the hole.” One was try- ing to get out and another was hurrying aiong be- hind it. The tunnel whistle—-about midway of the —s iii! will! passage—was called into emergency use. A watch- man hurried forward through the smoke with a torch and flagged the last train just as it struck a danger torpedo and stopped. Realizing the enormity of his relapses the abnor- mal imagining of his brain, the operator telephoned his resignation. Towernten, sicnalmen, track walkers and tunnel operators say that the strain of constant concentra- tion, with the feeling of responsibility, which no man with life in his keeping can help but have, is terrific, and that only men possessing soundest bodies and clearest minds can stand the work. If once this strain so affects an operator’s mind that fear of LD TOM NORTON, a locomo- tive engineer, sat in his cab win- dow at the head of a long freight train, talking with his_ brother Dick, who occupied a locomotive engin- eer’s seat on a “light” engine. Both lo- comotives were at the Clark avenue mouth of the tunnel and Tom was wait- ing fora signal to enter. In the middle of a pleasant word, Tom saw the signal and opened the throttle. The last car of his train had barely slipped from view when Dick suddenly cried to the operator above him in the fower: “Didn’t you let another train in just before Tom?” “Yes, fr “Give me the cross track and the other rail clear,” shouted Dick. “Clear!” cried the operator. Dick pulled the throttle wide open a second after the lever settled in the last notch forward, the locomative jumped eagerly and disappeared into the mouth of “the hole,” going at the highest speed possible. Dick sounded his whistle in a continuous volley of alarms and the fire- man kept the bell rolling. It was a race for life—the life of his brothers. Tom heard the whistle, was alarmed and shut off steam just as Dick ran his locomotive alongside on the other track. The threatened rear-end collision was averted. error or mistake arises, he becomes unfit for his task.

No trackman can now recall his names the story of his nightly vigils in “the hole” has be come tradition. - This spirit of a departed watchman does night duty. There is no “day” watch in the tunnel, because re in “the hole” is 24 hours long, and this ghost that watches over the watchmen of today against the sudden, swift coming of the death angel, has no rest, ternity is within its keeping. e The superstitious workmen who repair the tracks in the tunnel fear thia ghost every moment they are under the ground, until it becomes known that a train approaches in-the darkness. Then in this protecting spirit is reposed a child-like faith thas they will find one of the small arches or openings in the wall between the tracks in tine to get out of tlie way of the coming avalanche. _ The tunnel was built in 1874, when locomotives were of less tonnage by more than half and when coaches and freight cars were much smaller than now. Some monster locomotives cannot pass through the tunnel. Years ago workmen could stand on the side of the tunnel tracks while trains passed, but the last man who attempted to do that had every button snatched from his vest by a car which flattened him againgt the tunnel wall and left the impression of his in the heavy coat of black smoke flakes. Probably the only thing that enables men to live in “the hole” is the spring of water at the ulde @f the track near Eighth and Olive streets, where tra workmen and watchmen in the tunnel drink.

If nut, fetch your book and begin at once, for we are sitting at the feet of “Yogi,” philosophy, physical culture and rules of health and tackle the hardest Hindoo novels and do extraordinary “stunts” in quaint Oriental costumes. For it is from the Yogis that we are about to learn the secrets of studying Yoga beauty. Regardless of pronunciation, we perpetual youth. A Yogi, as you may know, is a wise man from the East, a Hindoo philosopher or sage. Yoga is his philosophy. Hatha Yoga is his science of health, part of which comprises the Asana or Eastern system of physical culture. Yogi Ramacharaka, whose “Science of Breath” helped many a Home Page reader to a better knowl- edge of the laws of breathing, has published a book on “Hatha Yoga,” or, the Yogi philosophy of well being, from which, through the courtesy of the Yogi Publication Society, I am going to quote for the benefit cf those who have asked for more Yogi lore on the all-important subjects of health and beauty. -“The great difference between our health culture systems an! the Ilatha Yoga is the point that we “are inclined to consider the body as a burdensome and unintelligible hump of flesh, ruled by the brain, situated at a safe distance in the head. Mind’s Complete Control. “The Yogi, on th® contrary, scious that his physical body is built up of cells, each cell containing within it a miniature ‘life’ which controls its action.

Once the three are supplied to it and command issued from the mind the cell is capable of restoring order to the system, of giving it strength and health and furthering both physical and spiritual development. “The trained will is able to act directly upon these eells by a simple process of direet concentration. One of the simplest plans of reaching the seat of trouble and giving a vigorous order to the cells” (when they are in rebellion—sickness) “is the one taught by Hatha Yogis to their students, to be used by them until they are able to use the concentrated will without aids. The plan is to simply ‘talk up’ to the rebellious organ or part, giving it orders just as one would a group of schoolboys or a squad of recruits in the army. Give the order positively and firmly, tell- ing the organ just what you wish it to perform, re- peating the command sharply several times.

The abdomen may be materially reluced by a reasonable indulgence in this exercise, but ‘moderation in all things,’ and do not oyerdo matters or be in too much of a hurry. Here is the exercise: 1.

Repeat a number of times and then take a breath or two and rest a moment. Repeat several times, moving it in and out.

Eliminating the ‘‘Tamas.”’ The Yogi calls “Tamas” those elements fn the body which cause it to be logy, heavy and congested. The Tamas in the body induces cold, phlegm, rheumatism and other diseases. One of the exercises to banish this weary and heavy ele- ment is as follows: 1. Sit on the floor, legs straight in front. 2. Rend from the waist and touch the toes with the fingers without bending the knees. At the same time command the liver to greater activity, sending the “Trana” to the intestinal organs.

A little of all the recipes goes to make this coffee. First, the coffee bean from across the seas, then a little chic- ory sometimes and an eggshell or a whole egg to clarify the mixture, which is “boiled up” and then “settled” with a few drops of cold water. After that it is poured into the elaborate urn us if it had been made there. | wy qe French Coffee. “WHE most perfect French coffee is made in the steam coffee pot, a tall brass affair with two receptacles, The lower one is filled with Ways. of water, the upper one with coffee. The water is heated by a small lamp and the steam generated rises to the coffee and is condensed in the upper re- ceptacles and comes back again filled with all the delicate aroma of the coffee. None of the flavor is allowed to escape, and the steam coffee is said to be the strongest and most delicious made anywhere. SES we Arabian Coffee. RABIAN coffee is delicious in flavor, due to the freshly roasted coffee berries and to the presence of cinnamon. The coffee is roast- ed freshly every day. After it is thoroughly ground up or pounded it is passed“through a sieve and only the fine brown flour is used. Two tea- spoonfuls of this flour are used with ‘two cups of Making a water and boiled together with a little piece of cin- namon.

Remarkable Collection of Flashlight Pictures That Have Now Been Taken by Well-Known World’s Fair Exhibitor. ON. GEORGE SHIRAS, member of the Na- H tional House of Representatives, whose ex- hibit of flashlight pictures of wild animal and bird life attracted so much attention at the World’s Fair and won a Grand Prize, has now come forward as the original experimenter and exponent of the hunting of wild game with the camera. Since President Roosevelt gave his approval to this method of sportsmanship it has attracted wide at- tention and is being extensively taken up. Many St. Louis amateur photographers who, until recently, had found the height of their pleasure with the camera in snapshotting their friends or picturing pretty places in Forest Park, Shaw’s Garden and other beauty spots about St. Louis, with an occa- sional trip into the country, where wilder scenery varied the views, are now taking up the hunt for wild game. They are making frequent excursions into the Ozark Mountains for this purpose, and not a few have secured some excellent “shots at such animal and bird life as inhabit the cov» *» contigu- ous to St. Louis. Mr. Shiras, however, has had a wider range in his expeditions. His World’s Ya:: exhibit showed a great variety of pictures “+ he has now dded largely to it and his trophies «'' the “hunt” are rep- resentative of wild life from tne great woods of the Far North to the tropics of the southernmost extent of the United States. He has recently con- tributed an interesting article on his experiences, il- lustrated with many remarkable photographs taken by himself, to the Nationa] Geographical Magazine. | Dr. WJ McGee of the St. Louis Public Museum is one of the editors of this publication. In addition to being the pioneer in this sport, Mr. Shiras has also an enviable reputation for having secured some remarkable specimens from daylight pictures and of photographing animals at night by his own hands. Many of the other most noted wild animal photographers have resorted almost exclusive- ly to automatic photography in securing their pic- tures of the larger and fiercer creatures. While some of Mr. Shiras’ pictures have been taken in this man- ner, it is perhaps safe to say that the best of them have not. By “automatic photography” is here meant the de- vice of stretching a string across beaten paths where | the animals are wont to travel at night, or where | they come to a lake, river or pool to drink. Un the other hand, Mr. Shiras has gone into the woods in the deep of night, camera in hand, and stalked his game after the manner of the old-time sportsman who used a rifle and brought back the dead carcass of his quarry instead of the more human, and, as many are now coming to feel, the more desirable photo- graphic likeness. Mr. Shiras has found it most practical to secure his pictures where the animals come to drink, just |

as the same practice has been regarded as most effective by the man behind the rifle. For this pur- pose he uses a boat, in the front of which the cam-' era and flashlight attachment are elevated. A “jack light”—a powerful bull’s-eye lantern, which can be revolved from side to side—is placed above the cam- era. Then the boat, which is very light weight, is rowed as quietly as possible along the edge of the lake in search of animals that have come for a drink. Deer are most frequently found in this way, in places where they are native. Instead of being frightened at the light, their natural curiosity is aroused by it and they await the approach of the boat with head up, watching the light intently, thus forming a most effective “pose.” In this manner a deer will allow the boat to approach within a distance of 26 yards, and not infrequently as close as 15. Mr. Shiras has spent 15 years or more in this work, and has come to be able to yudge accurately of just how close an animal] will allow him to come. At this critical time the flashlight is exploded, lighting up the entire surrounding land and water brightly for a short fraction of a second. This is long enough to sectre the picture, and yet the time is so short and the flare of the light so sud- den that seldom indeed is a “subject” frightened into spoiling a “sitting.” Mr. Shiras contends that the excitement of the ordinary stalking and shooting

Nor is the sport of “automatic” picture taking | without its pleasurable anticipations and surprises. | Even as the trapper sets his snares and knows not | what they will contain when he makes his morning round, the photographer is equally in the dark.

¥ ALL the freak rigs ever invented that shown O im the accompanying photograph, which was taken at Cowes, Isle of Wight, is the freak. iest. To a short, stout mast is attached a pivot on which swing arms which carry a pair of lateen sails shaped like fans, and which can be closed like

high sea, fans. The sails can be set in any plane and at ary angle. Going straight before the wind, they would be slewed around at right angles to the length of the boat and to the mast, As the wind stiffened they would be lowered toward the stern and elevated toward the bow, until they lay almost horizontal, In this position a hurricane would exert upon them such a lifting power that the boat would remain perfectly dry. The picture shows the queer little craft sailing almost in the teeth of the wind, which she is evidently doing in very good style.
