Her father learned of her act when it was too late to prevent it, and although he will now do all that he can to recover the child. he knows that it will take pdiany weeks before the pet whom he ‘cails “Susie’’ is again in St. Louis. < _ Reminded by Blue Beads. : Mrs. Galvin did not realize what she Rad done until she unpacked her trunk day evening. She found the blue Ss, and the grief which she felt at Separation from her child overcame her gnd since then she had done little but sit and brood over what has past. She wakens her sisters in the night to tell them of the terrible things that have come into her life within the last two months, and she begs for her baby. Her father also is almost overcome with grief. Dr. ruiting surgeon in the United States “A _at St. Louis, told the story of Mrs. Galvin’s experiences. ‘‘My daugh- ter and her children and nurse depart- ed in June for Manila,’’ he said.’’ At that time she thought nothing of the journey, although she is something of an invalid, having been paralyzed when Manila before. *‘Mr. Galvin had bought a home for ‘them and ay 4 were anticipating their life there with pleasure.

Crowds of persons were there waiting to meet relatives and friends, but she did not see her husband's face. Some one came ta ber after awhile and told her that her husband had died July 8 of cholera after an illness of three days. “The grief added to the mental dis- tress she had just passed through was too much for her. Her mind broke down and while In that condition she gave little Susie away. ‘The child was given to Mrs. Monte- von, who had been a friend of Mr. Gal- vin.

Tee St. Louisans were Sam Stannard, member of the House of Delegates, ; Carl Kunkel, John Lobeck, James Con- rad and Fred Pezolt. . The men were taken before a Justice of the Peace in Corning, wno held mid- night court for thei: wenefit, and placed each under $200 bond. The fine for the offense is from $50 to $100. Each of the men arrested was fined by the Justice Tuesday. The cases will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Arkansas. “The Game Warden of the State made the complaint.” said Stannard Tuesday to a Post-Dispatch reporter. He re- turned to St. Louis Monday, leaving At- torney Oliver of Corning in charge of his case. “We fished all duy Saturday in Tay- lor’s Lake, which the club has recently acquired by lease from its owner, Judge Taylor. We made good catches of bass. pike and crappie and brought them hack to the clubhouse, intending to make neals of them next day. “About 16 o'clock, after we had turned in, the Constable, reinforced four assistants, came to arrest us. He had no warrant. and he would have had trouble identifying us, as there were other members of the club in the house. but we admitted the alleged offense and were taken to Corning under arrest. “We contend we committed no offense because the Supreme Court of Arkansas has ruled that a man becomes a resi- dent when he by purchase or lease be- comes possest of real property in the State. We had no intention of taking the fish out of the State. The Nobe! Club has leased the lake and the lease is on record. The club was anxious to make a test case, but it hardlv intended so large a part of the membership of the club to be used in making the test, or that the members should be haled out of bed at night for the purpose of making it.’ UNCONSCIOUS ON TRAIN.

Burt Layton of Granite City, who is believed to have heen poisoned by drinking whisky at Cape Girardeau, Mo., Monday, was taken thru St. Louis Tuesday to his home. He was accom- panied by his brother, James Layton. According to a statement of the broth- er, Burt had taken only two = small drinks of whisky at Cane Girardeau and he had been unable to arouse him sinee Monday and feared serious re- sults. At first it was thought that Lay- ton was stupefied by the liquor alone, but when St. Louls was reached Tues- day morning.

NOW BLOOMING The dove orchid at Shaw’s Garden, One of the rarest plants, is blooming. Altho it has not attracted general at- tention, fanciers of orchids have thor- oly discust it and exprest the opinion that it is one of the most interesting that they have seen. Its name is derived from the resem- blance of parts of the blossom to a dove. It blooms only at rare intervals and those who have seen it in bloom for the first time the past few days have exprest surprize at the perfection of the resemblance. It was five years after the discovery of the plant before it was known that it possesst a flower of such pronounced peculiarity. It is a native of Panama, where it was first found in 1826 by a Mr. Barnard. He sent it to Liverpool, where it flowered for the first time in 1851. It was lookt upon then as a dis- tinct curiosity and has been so re- garded ever since. Spanish settlers of Central America gave it the name El Espiritis santo, Holy Ghost plant. The one at Shaw's Garden has been in flower for-about a week and will be thru blooming before Tuesday, proba- bly. it is unfortunate that it will not be in bloom next Sunday, because the gar- den is to be open that day, but the dove-like flower will have dropt off before then. However, there will be other interesting plants in bloom. ‘The pitcher plants, so named because their blossoms are shaped similar to pitch- ers, will show how they catch insects in their pitchers. Bananas’ will be growing, as will also pineapples, and! coffee beans and vanilla beans may be! seen as they appear before they are stript from the Gants. a — Ltt ttt

PETERSBURG, Aug. 28.—Because he so strongly resembles Gen. Trepoff, the dictator commander, Gen. Staalon, commandant of the imperial palace, nar- rowly escaped being assassinated yester- day. Gen. Trepoff wears a beard, and, since the attack on Gen. Staaton, other of- ficers have shaved off their beards to avert possibility of being. assassinated by mistake. Policemen and gendarmes do not know now whom to obey, and who are real and who are disguised chiefs and gen- erals, while accomplices among the mil- itary and civil officers facilitate the work of the revolutionists. M. Stolypin has announct his intention to remain in office as premier and min- ister to the interior. A report reached here this afternoon that Col. Rieman of the Seminovski Guard regiment has been assassinated at Lugza, where he stopped while on his way to.Warsaw to take up a position on. the staff of Gen. Skailon, Governor-Gen- eral of Warsaw. The distribution of crown appanages, the first part of the administration's agrarian program, by which it is hoped to win the peasantry to the support of the Government at the coming elections, was put into effect yesterday when an ukase was publisht transferring 4,500,000 acres of appanage lands to the pensants’ bank for distribution to the peasants. The urgency of the situation ts such that the ukase was signed tha day of the attempt on the life of Premier Stoly- pin, was gazetted without waiting for the final decision as to the method and terms of payment.

WOMAN HACKED 10 DEATH WN A LODGING. HOUSE Alleged Husband Under Arrest Suspected of Murder— Denies Crime. tee KILLED WHILE ASLEEP

No Signs of Struggle — Case Similar to “Jack the Rip- per” Murders. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—A woman known as Mrs. Annie Moore was found murdered early today in a fur- nisht room at 6 Second street. She had been horribly ript and _ silasht. One gash had severed the jugular vein in the left side of the throat, another had almust severed the windpipe, the breast was badly siasht and a deep knife tlhirust had ript open the body. No weapon was found and there were few blood marks around the room. James Movre, who had posed as the woman’s husband, was held by the po- lice on suspicion. It was he who noti- fied the police of the murder. He ran up to two detectives at Second street and the Bowery at 2 o'clock this morn- ing and told them he had just gone to his home and thought his sister-in-law was dead. , The police hurried to the house and begin to investigate the crime. Mvore told the police he and the wom- an had been living together for seven years. The woman, he said, was the widow of his brother, who died 10 years ago. No one in the house could be found who heard any sounds as if a struggle was taking place. Herman von Koh- len, wno has an adjoining room, was aroused by the police and said he had been in bed since 5 o’clock in the after- noon and had heard no notses whatever. ‘The dead woman was 50 years of age. Recalls “Ripper” Cases. The horrible wounds found on the woman's body recalled at once to the minds of the officers and doctors who were called, the “Jack the Ripper’ mur- ders some years ago. A hurried inves- tigation by the police showed no signs of a struggle and the police concluded that the wcman had been attackt in hed sleep. On a pillow which lay across her face was.the imprint of a bloody hand. The victim’s hands were clean, so that the police believe the mark must have been left by the murderer. Moore maintains that he is innocent. He told the police that he left the house in Second street at 7 o’clock last night and went to a Bowery saloon, where he remained until 1 o'clock this morning. Police inquiries at the saloon developed the information that Moore had been there ‘until just before 10 o'clock, when he left. Lodgers in the Second street house told the poiice that Moore returned hame at about 10 o'clock, and that he did not go out again afterwards. The murdered woman before her marriage to the prisoner's brother was Annie Fitch. After her husband’s death she went rapidly down the seale of life. Moore, the prisoner, is in an advanced stage of consumption. He has a wife and two children living hardly a stone’s throw from the scene of the crime.
