Records Smashed Thursday, October 25th, the POST-DISPATCH printed 15] Columns Paid Advertising (Leas cheap legal) The largest volume of business ever car- ried by a western newspaper in a week day pub- lication, under normal conditions, without spe- cial effort of any kind. The magnitude of this achievement is mani- fest, when compared with the volume of busi- ness carried under the identical same _ condi- tions, on the same | day, by all | the other St. Louis English daily newspapers COMBINED, namely, — 134 columns, or 17 columns less than was carried by the POST-DISPATCH alone.

Of this great volume of business the St. Louis merchants alone bought 120 COLUMNS in the POST-DISPATCH, while they purchased but 79 columns in the Globe-Democrat, Republic and Star-Ohronicle COMBINED.

The reason for this preference on the part of the advertisers is obvious. The POST-DISPATCH brings RESULTS! Why? Because it goes into practically all the homes in St. Louis and suburbs.

JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 27.—After he- ing chased 15 minutes through back yards and alleys, while bullets flew around him, George Mayhan, 30 years old, was cornered in a grocery store, and as he pleaded for mercy, was shot to death by Ray Teson, 3, of Kansas City, who says Mayhan wrecked his . home. Teson had lived here, but recently went to Kansas City with his wife to keep her away from Mayhan. Mayhan followed the couple there and persuaded Mrs. Teson to return to St. Joseph with him. They came Saturday and Teson © followed at noon yesterday. He went ~ to the eastern part of the city, where Mayhan was laying tile, and said to’ him: “Stand up, I am going to kill you.”’ Mayhan ran through back yards and barns, but Teson followed closely, shoot- ing as he ran. When Mayhan fell, after - jumping over *a high fence, Teson leaped upon him, but his revolver wag empty by that time, and Mayhan es- caped, Teson reloaded his revolver and was soon i om Mayhan, who ran inté a grocery store at Frederick avenue and Twenty-sixth street. Mayhan begged the clerk te hide him and crept behind a pile of flour & but Teson saw him and commanded him to come out. Mayhan begged for merey, but did not move, and Teson stooped over and shot him tn the beck. Then he put his revolver in his pooket and walked out, saying: “You will never take another man’s wife.” Slayer Telephones Police. Teson telephoned the police jo Pi a had happened and said he would "five -himself up. A potcenem, attracted by the pursuit, had arrived by this time and Teson surrendered without a word.

It seemed as though the applause was going to be a contin- ual performance, and Dr. Ayres asked the girla to desist, reminding them that Mr. Fairbanks had only a brief interval to spend at the collece.

MERIWETHER WAS LOSER He Had 159 Straight Tickets, but Was Credited With Only 50 of Them. Secretary McCoy of the Republican State Committee, in the course of an address at the South St. Louis Turner liall, Tenth and Carroll streets, Fri- day night, called attention to frauds that had been perpetrated at recent St. Louis elections and cited as a spe- cific instance the Staiement of a Dem- ocratic ward worker, who, he said, had admitied to him that Lee Mer.- wether would have been elected Mayor of Sti. Louis tn 1902 if the votes nau been honestly counted as cast. “Let me describe to you,” said Mr. McCoy, “the methods of the Democrat- ic machine as it caime to me from the lips of a Democratic boss: , ‘The election judges and clerks and ‘me and a policeman locked the doors after the poils closed.

Parker had 25 straight tickets, and we let him have ‘em for good luck. Then we went down into the bag and we took out the number of ballots that the police- ‘man had put down and marked ’em al! straignt tickets for Wells. (ed trun An Overcoat and $10. “*But,’ said I, ‘what did you do with the Republican judge and clerk and the Republican challenger?’ ‘‘Oh, said he, ‘we trun the challenger outdoors and the Republican judge and clerk—they were cheap. One of them wanted an overcoat and wouldn't sign out and bought it for him. And the other one wanted $10 and we gave it to him.’ “These, my friends, were the _ so- called Revublicans-appointed by Stone, Dovkerv, Hawes & Co. when Democ- racy had that complete’ control praised by Mr. Lionberger. And be- tween Gov. Folk, Attorney-General Hadley and Prosecuting Attorney Sager, we have stopped doing things that way. You boys in the trenches must put your most honest and ‘ca,a ble men on guard. Your challengers must be brave as lions, for upon these challengers, under the election Nesbit lam, alone rests the franchise of the people. Rolla Wells, present incumbent, war the, Democratic candidate and George \W. Parker was the Republican nominee at the election referred to by Mr. Mc- Coy’s informant. Lee Meriwether ran on the Public Ownership ticket. On the face of the returns, Wells’ received about 42.000 votes, Parker 33,000 and Meriwether 30,000. Meriwether had no representation in the way of judges or clerks at the election. Mr. McCoy attributed St. Louis’ tion troubles to the administration Gov. Dockery, aided by Harry Hawes, the Democratic leader in I~uis. “The reason of Democratic reform in St. Louis is because of Democratic de- feat in Missour!,”” he said. “The people can be congratulated that there is com- petition at Jefferson City between a Democratic Governor and Republican State officials, the effect of which is clean politics in St. Louls. When De- mocracy had undisputed and complete control of State and city, and Dockery was Governor, Stone, Senator, and Hawes, Democratic king in 8t. Louts, there were padded registration, corrupt elections, brutal police, assaults and murders on election day, riot instead of peace, an extra force at the City Dis- pensary, honest citizeens deprived of their ballot, and police scandals that smelled to heaven. “When a Republican Attorney-General at Jefferson City, and a Republican Cir- cuit Attorney at St. Louis were put in office by a State revolt against the Democratic machine of Stone, Hawes & Co., the people got relief, and we now have a police purged of scandal, an election board demanding and bringing about honest elections and decent guov- ernment in the City of St. Louis. “The reforms claimed by Mr. Lion- berger in his speech Thursday night did not come until an outraged people wrote upon the wall in letters of fire a warn- ing to the machine Democracy. Had the Democratic party when in full control made these reforms they wouild be just- ly entitled to the credit for them, but inasmuch as the most atrocious and corrupt State lobby, the most damnable election system, and a most brutal po- lice thrived and fattened for four years under Democratic absolute. rule and conditions were bettered only when Re- publicans obtained partial control, I claim that the people remedied these conditions in 1994 and not the Democ- racy, and I demand a share of the credit for the Republican party for thé good work done by Hadley and Sager.”’ “TI have the name and address of ‘the Democratic worker who made the state- ment regarding election frauds,"’ said Mr. McCoy Saturday, when seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter. “For obvious reasons I did not disclose his Hentity in my address. It would be too late now to institute criminal prosecutions and beside the information was given to Chairman Niedringhaus and me in the strictest confidence.”’ BROKE ANKLES IN SLIDE.

The boat swept toward it, and the draw, now menwedty 20 feet away, kept turning until there was sufficient space for the boat to pass, and it swept through safely.

As many as 20 costly yachts were torn loose from their moorings and carried out into the Punk. or lodged on sandbars. Many fishermen’s house bcats in the river between Grafton and Alton were caught in the grasp-.of the storm and sunk. It is thought the fishermen and their families were sleeping in them When they were blown eut into the river. All but two of the gasoline and steam yachts which were moored to the dock owned by William Fluent at the foot of Market street, about 20 in number, -be- sides a number of skiffs, were found stranded on a sand bank near the IIli- nois shore a mile and a half below Alton. The floating dock was blown away, and took launches, vachts and ekiffs with it. The boats, when found, were piled in a mass, many of them .lied with water The skiffs in the fieet of small boats were nearly al demolished. The two boats still missing are the Mary Sparks, owned by C Sparks, one of the finest launcnes on the river, and the Neptune, a small power gaso- line launch, The launch Rosalie, owned by M. H.

TRADE IS JEOPARDIZED

Cabinet Believes Delicate Dip- lomacy Is Needed to Pre- vent Open Rupture. WASHINGTON, Oct. “i.—Secretary of Commerce and Labor Metcalf has been commissioned by President Roosevelt to gv to San Francisco and investigate the Japanese situation there. He wil] leave tocay. This action follows the demand of the Japanese Ambassador made to Secretary Root that Japanese school children at San Francisco be reinstated. Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambas- sador, says that the. treaty of 1894 gives the Japanese childrem the right to at- tend the public schools of the United States with American pupils. He ac- cordingly requested an investigation by the President, which was accorded, to at least show the Japanese Government that if there is unjust discrimination at San Francisco that it is purely local and not national. Mr. Metcalf is a Californian, His home

; | is at Oakland, just across the bay from San Francisco. His selection as the President’s envoy was due in part to the geographical proximity of his resi- dence to h eseat of anti-Japanese agi- tation, but the President wishes mainly to emphasize that his interest in the situ- ation is great enough to justify sending one of his Cabinet officers to the sceme. The President has also sent directions to the United States District Attorney at San Francisco, through the Depart- ment of Justice, to make a full inquiry into the discrimination against Japan- school children. Tro Show Danger to Trade. Mr. Metcalf had a long conference with the President vesterday afternoon. His instructions were generally to con- fer with the. Governor, the act.ng Mayor of San Francisco, the Japanese Consul, the school authorities and al! others who might be able to throw light-on the anti-Japanese situation and report to the President the exact con- ditions and the basis of the sentiment which served to bring about the ds- crimination. ~While there is no officia! authority for saying so, it is supposed that Mr. Metcalf will endeavor to make the anti-Japanese element among those in authority in San Francisco realize the danger to the commercial interests of the (United States in China avd else- where in the far East which lies in giv- ing offense iv Jaran., Meantime the Washington. Govern- ment will notify the Government. of Japan of the subject of Secretary Met- calf’s mission, and give assurance of its desire to observe the obligations im- vosed upon it by the treaty of amily etweéen the two countries.

LAW LEAGUE CELEBRATES

Judgments of $500 Each Against Two Clubs Satis- fied by Raids. The city of Kirkwood, having confis- cated a lot of intoxicating drinks, finds it cannot legally dispose of them. The city is possessor of five cases of beer, 10 jugs of brandy and several dozen bottles of whisky and gin, taken by Marshal Secrest from two alleged lid- lifting clubs to satisfy two judgments of $500 each. The city has no license to sell liquor, and the officials are wondering if they will have to flood the streets with the intoxicants. Marshal Secrest Friday attached the property of the Kirkwood Social Ath- letic Club, having previously attached the contents of the house occupied by the Rose Hill Pastime Club. The judg- ments he sought to satisfy were imposed upon the clubs for violating the local option law. Nov. 7 has been set for the sule of the club furnishings. The members of the Kirkwood Law Enforcement League held a rally Friday night to celebrate the closing of the clubs. When they reached the hall the members discovered that some one had preceded them and placed a large ban- ner on the stage bearing Inscriptions re- ferring to Mayor Octerbeck and the league. The inscription was ‘‘Sadder. Octerbeck, Yah. Wiser, “nforcement League, Nit.’’ Following the resignation of Rev. R. Il..

| Castellane Diveres: Must Be Settled Before Creditors Are Heard. HELEN GOULD IN PARIS

Countess’ Lawyer, Anxious to Plead Her Case, Refuses Cabinet Place.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright. 1006, be the Press Pub. Co. ig iNew York World.) PARIS, Oct. 27.—Miss Helen Gould

has arrived here to be near her sister, the Countess de Castellane, during her divorce sult. Miss Gould is with a par- ty of friends, tnectuding Miss Coutts, Miss Lipmann and Miss Clark. They are staying at a hotel. When Miss Gould came to France tase spring it was with the intention of try- ing to effect a reconciliation of the Castellanes, but when she discovered the true state of affairs she warmly Seconded the Countess’ suit. Judge Ditte, president. of the civil tribunal, has decided that the divorce or separation proceedings shall be set- tled before the claims of the creditors of the Count are adjudicated. This de- cision establishes a precedent in favor of American girls who marry tm r- ished French noblemen. To fully ap- preciate its importance, knowledge of the French law is required. If the wife has money and the husband none, she is not only responsible for the household debts, but also for her hus- band s personal debts. Under the ruling of — Ditte, the creditors of the Count will now have to prove the joint liability of the Countess to obtain payment of claims. On the other hand, if they had been granted a hearing prior to the trial of the divorce or separation suit, they could have attacked the Castellane couple on the ground that each was responsible for the other's ; During the recent campaign the Countess paid 60,000 franca for Boni's election expenses, “I want to put nothing in the way of his political career,’’ she said. Maitre Cruppli, her lawyer and a great friend of Clemenceau, is said to be so interested in the Castellane case that he refused to consider an offer of a portfolio In the new Cabinet because governmental duties would have then prevented his pleading the Countess’ case.

SAWDUST BED IN RAIN Woman's Visit to Religious Sect Reveals Suffering From Seli-Sacrifice.

ATTORNEY IS CONSULTED

Maine Supreme Court Decided That “Elijah” Cannot Be Held Responsible.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 27.—With one daughter in the State Asylum Insane as a result of alleged bardships she was enforced to endure while a member of ‘Elijah’’ Rev. Frank San- ford’s Holy Ghost and Us Society col- ony at Shiloh, Me., Mrs. Alice Phelps of Kansas City, Mo., came to Portland, consulting attornevs, after she tried ‘in Vain to rescue her other daughter from the Shilohites. Mrs. Phelps tells the following story of the privations and inhuman practices alleged to have been committed by the disciples of Shiloh on the so-called flock. Six years ago May and Bessie Phelps, $2 and 30 years old, respectively, were Weli-known and highly respected young women of iKansas City. They were con- Sidered . itfttellectually brilliant and as teachers in the public schools received Salaries of $% a ia0onth each. The two Biris were always religiously inclined and had made a special study of Bibli- cal literature. It may have been for this reason that they fell easy listeners to the arguments of the Rev. Mr. Harri- man, Who was then high in the coun- cils of the Sanford institution and as a recruiting officer for the colony. At any raté, the stories he told them of the life with the Holy Ghosters ap- pealed to them and they willingly con- sented to accompany him to Maine. The life at Shiloh gradually undermined the mind of the younger girl, Bessie, and she finally became insane. When her mother heard the news she immediate- ly took steps to have the other girl re- moved fron: the tnfluence. Mrs. Phelps was opposed by the elder daughter, who said that her sister was better off where she was, but the mother finally prevailed and last summer Bessie was removed to the asylum at Augusta. Girl in Asylum Improving. The girl has improved much under the care of Dr. Sanborn, the superintendent physician, but she has remained in a seini-conscious cataleptic state for most of the time, from which physicians so far have been unable to bring her. Mrs. Phelps has remained in Augusta ever since her daughter was taken to the asylum. Last week, hearing that the older daughter, May, was also likely to be- come insane, the hain, where the Shiloh colony is, and obtained an interview with the young woman. Try as she might, however, Mrs. Phelps could not induce the daugh- ter to leave the place. The girl seemed mother went to Dur- for the‘

Almost all the settlers at Shiloh were originally persons in comfortable cir- cumstances and they gave either all their money or mortgaged their proper- ty for the benefit of the colony. Mrs. Phelps made a second trip to Shiloh two days after the first one and again tried to see her daughter, but this time was unsuccessful. The elder in charge de- mied Mrs. Phelps admission and it is al- leged that the daughter was under lock and key to prevent any possible meet- ing with her mother. Elder Jewell, however, said that the girl) was not in Durham, but had gone to- Boston, where the colony has another branch. He also told Mrs. Phelps, she gays, that it would be better for her daughter's soul if she should never see her mother again and gave her to un- derstand that they should never meet if he could help it.

Munsey Co. has, with the addition of its newest magazine, “Womaysn,’ increased the total num- ber of its monthly publications to six. The oldest one of the six is The Ar- gosy, Which is now nearly twenty- four years old. The others are Munp- sey’s, The All-story, The Scrap Book and The Railroad Man's Magazine The total circulation of these six magazines is over 2,200,000 copies and the amount of fiction issued by this one publishing house every 30 days, is said to weigh over five tons. “Woman” is a straight reading mag- azine, making up for its lack of illus- trations by its wealth of stories. arti- cles and departments. It was appur- ently built: on the principle that -a woman would rather read a good story than glance over a few pages of more or less interesting illustrations. The principle is undoubtedly a sound one, when the stories are as much worth reading as those in the November “Woman.” The first number indicates that Mr. Munsey has again accomplished a seeming impossibility in finding a new field for a new magazine. This is however, as it should be, for since Mr. Munsev introduced the first 10-cent magazine, the publishing world has gotten more or less into the hab't of waiting to see what he will do next. “Women” jis his latest answer and a very good one,

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—Near death as a result of an alleged operation, pretty Bertha Johnson, 21 years old, of 12 Vine Street, a prominent chuch-worker and Organist of the North Side, is confined to a cot at Marion Sims Hospital. W. W. Thomson, assistant to Norman B. Barr, minister of the Oliver Memorial Chuch, and Dr. Earl J. Dennis of 929 Cortland Street are under arrest and held with- out bail at the Chicago Avenue Police Station, charged with responsibility for the girl's condition. Miss Johnson is unconscious and doc- tors.at the hospital believe that she will not revive, The case was reported to Acting In- spector Healy of the Chicago Avenue Station last Tuesday by Dr. Howard O. Shaffer, a physician at 447 North Clark Street and head of the hospital. Ac- cording to Dr. Shaffer, Thompson and Miss Johnson came to his office on Tuesday and asked that he treat the girl. He discovered her condition and immediately reported the matter to the Thompson was arrested and the girl was sent to the hospital. Thomp- son was released on bail, but his bonds- men surrendered him Thursday when it ~ gigns certain that the girl could not ive. Dr. Shaffer asserts that Miss Johnson confessed to-him that Dr. E. J. Dennis had performed the operation last week at the request of herse'f and Thomp- son, who made the arr »ngements, Said to Have Confessed., Before it was ascertained that the giri could not live, Thompson confessed, it is said, to Inspector Healy that he was responsible for the girl's condition. He also told the Inspector that he had seen Dr. Dennis’ advertisement and had gone to him to arrange for the girl's care. Last night Thompson dented his previ- ous stories. According to friends of both, Thompson and Miss Johnson have been sweethearts for several years. Be- cause Miss Johnson's mother is an in- valid, she had felt that she could not marry. Both Thompson and Miss John- son; it is said, were until a few years ago clerks ata State street store, where they first met. Later they met through their church connections and the for- mer acquaintanceship resulted in an en- farement to mar»ry. Miss Johnson was the organist of the schoel boys’ choir, an institution of the church and the Olivet Association, and latterly had been a music teacher. Olivet Memorial Church is conducted under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church and is one of the most fash- ionable on the North Side. “T have gone wrong.” said Thompson ‘“T have been engaged to Miss Johnson for over three years. I wanted to mar- ry her long ago, but felt that she was needed at home and would not consent. I do not want anv disgrace to fall on he ministry. When I] was informed of Miss Johnson’s condition, I did not | know what to do and finally on Oct. 19 visited Dr. Dennis because I saw hts advertisement.

Coughlin | TRIO OF FE BRIDGE BILLS IN ASSEMBL! Two Introduced in the Council and One in the House of Delegates.

COMMISSION IDEA GROWS

Bills Differ Essentially As to How Members Shall Be Selected. Three ordinances and a_ resvlution looking to the erection of the free bridge were presented in the Municipal Assem- bly Friday. Two ordinances were pre- sented in the Council and one in the House. The ordinances resembled each other greatly. They all provided for the appointment of a commission to select a site for the bridge. The two Council bills placed the work of planning and building the bridge, after the site is se- lected, in charge of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements. The House Dill places all the work under the commis- sion. The bills differed greatly in the method they prescribed for selecting the commission. One bill, presented by Councilman Cramer, provided for a commiasion of five members, one to be selected by the Mayor, two by the Council and two by the House of Delegates. The selections are to be made within ten days after the passage of the law. The members of the commission are to be taxpayers and voters, selected for their knowledge of the subject in hand and for their rep- utation for integrity and impartiality. Two members are to be manufacturers and shippers, one is to be an engineer, one a lawyer and one a member of the Merchants’ Exchange. They are to re- ceive a salary of $2500 a year and to give a bond of $1000. rhe second bill, presented by Councll- man Linde, provides for a commission of five members to be appointed within five days after the bill goes into effect. The members are to be appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Coun- cil. If the Mayor's appointees are not confirmed by the Council he is to sup- ply other names within 10 days. If these are again rejected then the Coun- cil is to name the members of the com- mission without consulting the Mayor. The bill presented by Linde leaves the salary of the members to be fixed later. Similar Bill in the House. The bill presented in the House of Delegates was introduced by Speaker O'Brien. It provided for a commission made up of the president of the Board of Public Improvements, the Harbor and Wharf Commissioner, the Comp- troller, the City Counselor, the presi- dent of the Council and the Speaker of the House of Delegates. They are to serve without compensation, but are to have a secretary at a Salary of $2500 a year. They are to appoint a committee 'of engineers not to exceed three to have charge of the work. All the work of building the bridge as well as the se- lection of the site is given in charge of this commission. The resolution pertaining to the free bridge was presented by Councilman Rolfes. It declares, in a preliminary “whereas,” that the work of erecting the free bridge is placed by the city charter under the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Improvements and then calls on the board “‘as soon as prac- ticable’’ to report an ordinance provid- ing for the location and construction of the bridge and for all other details necessary for the ‘‘consummation of the free bridge project.”’ All of the ordinances presented Fri- day are modeled to a’ considerable ex- tent on the bill recently introduced by the United Free Bridge Committee. The bills differ from this measure only in the method of appointing the commis- sion. Boy Killed Playing Soldier. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITCHFIELD, Ill...

Does this liberal grant of rights and privileges in- clude the privilege of education in the public schools established and maintained by the State govern- ments? There is no specific mention of such right. Lawyers may find it by construction under the gen- eral terms of the treaty. But there is enough un- certainty to cause anxiety in the public mind. We do not desire a disturbance of the cordial relations | with the new nation in the East. The whole issue | hinges more upon racial sentiment than upon an actual violation of treaty obligations. The Japs are jealous of their right to be classed with the best of the white races. The Post-Dispatch would rejoice to see a delega- tion composed of representative citizens of St. Louis sent to the State Legislature. We would like to see he would not speak for publication and refused to be - drawn into any extended conversation, being an ar- dent enemy of all trusts and not wanting them & learn of his plan of campaign, he said there was ne chance for Such a trust to get a foothold here, Said the peopie of St. Louis didn't know what a real trust was, “I know what tipping is. though.

Will you kindly find out, through your paper, from the business men in this city, what a middle-aged married woman of education and refinement can do to aid her hard-workin but underpaid husband support a léree family? Educated young people can earn much more than uneducated ones; consequently these parents want their children. educated. The mother has tried in vain to get a position.

That they should strike suddenly at about what the Japanese call “the hour of the dog” (2 o’clock), and that nitroglycerin poured into the cracks of the vault at the town bank should be good ground for rejoicing. Unfortunately in the past the opposite of this has been true. A majority of the St. Louis delegation has represented everything but the interests of the city’s reputable citizenship. With few notable and commendable exceptions they have represented race- track gambling rings, disorderly dens, bucket-shop and policy combinations, corporate monopolies, po- litical hoodlimism, and that dominant combination

It may be true also that a member of the Y. M. C. A. is ceasing to be honest when he uses a long Latin word instead of a short one in plain and honest English. If « man earns what he “accumulates,” every cent he has earned is his and he has an honest right to pile it as high as he pleases, whether or not there is sense, or sanity, in doing it. If he actually earned a “pile” (otherwise an accu- mulation) of that kind, those who go to him and tell him that they are his fellow men and that to ease his conscience he ought to give them his surplus, are not honest. They are after the “unearned increment.” They are trying to “pull his leg,” and get something for nothing. There are too many of them. If too many millionaires are bad for the country, they are worse, If a man has not earned the money he piles up; if he has not given a full dollar’s worth for every dollar of it, then he has plundered for it and those who apply to him for his surplus “to benefit their fellow man” are trying to become receivers of stolen goods.

NEW: YORK, Oct. 27.—Mr. Hughes played a smooth political trick upon Mr. Hearst this week. He _ represented to the Chinese Minister at Washington that Mr. Hearst wanted to see him. The Minister carhe up, accompanied by the attaches of his legation, and went to Hearst headouarters, followed by a tre- mendous crowd of voters. Hearst smelled a rat when he saw them com- ing up the street, and ran out the back way, but the coup succeeded, and the city is bursting with the conviction that Hearst is trying to import Chinese labor. Mr. Heart played a slick political trick upon Mr. Hughes this week. He repre- sented to Mr. Rockefeller that MJIr. Hughes wanted to see him. Mr. Rovcke- feller left his home at Lakeside and went up to Hughes’ headquarters, fol- lowed by a tremendous crowd. Hughes smelled oil when he saw John coming and bolted through the alley; but the ruse succeeded, and the city is con- vinced that Hughes is hand-in-gleve with the trusts. Mr. Bryan, Gov. Folk, Mr. Cleveland, Col. Watterson and a notable delegation of Democratic leaders did not arrive here this week to campaign for the Democratic State ticket. The campaign is so hot that neither of the candidates for Governor will leave. the city. The result is that the people are coming in from up-state in nordes, all eager for the gospel. Their disposition ‘o believe all they hear makes it seem likely that the man to get in the last word will win. THE MISSOURI BANANA.

After asking how Mrs, Rangle was and all the children and giving a prescrip- tion for croup for one of the latter over the phone, and then asking for Mrs. Rangle herself, and holding a long conversation, consisting mostly of ‘You don't say:”’ and ‘Well, I knew that m@frriagge wouldn't last long,’’ Mrs. Jarr re- turned and Mr. Jarr took up his story. “You see,’ he continued, ‘‘this family was daffy on bridge whist, and the old man died’’—— “Not the old man in the story ‘Do You Mrs. Jarr eagerly. “No!”’ snapped Mr. Jarr, ‘“‘the old man that played bridge whist died, and the family’ — “Oh, look at little Emma with a pin in her’ mouth: “Spit it out! Give it to me, Emma, ‘nstantly!” “So,"’ went on Mr. Jarr, with a gl emy brow, ‘the family were discussing whether they should cremate the old man’-— “Willie, I saw you slap your sister! I have half a mind to take you across my knee and give it to you good!" shouted Mrs. Jarr at the children, who were fighting in a corner. “Go on,’ she said to Mr. Jarr. ‘“Well,"’ snarled Mr. Jarr, determined to finish the story come what might. “Well, the old man had often enlivened their bridge games by saying he want- ed to be cremated, but’’'—— “There, now! I knew you'd do that,” exclaimed Mrs. Jarr, as the little boy fell down while running across the floor and hit his head a sickening bump against the table leg. “Run, Mr. Jarr! The witch hazel! The arnica! In the right-hand side of the medicine closet!’’ Love This Old Man?” questioned exclaimed Mrs. Jarr. Mr. Jarr brought back the remedies, waited till the child was soothed and the whole brood put to bed, and then resumed. “Of course, the wife, woman-like, objected to cremating, the oldest»son hold- ing out against her. Finally’’—— I thought I'd make some fresh tea.’ exclaimed Mrs. “Oh, dear me! two hours and I know the kettle has ‘and here the gas stove has been going boiled dry!”’ But Mr. Jarr seized her by the wrist and said fi eye: “And so the son of the bridge crank family said, leave it to you.’ ‘Very well,’ said the old lady, abstractedly, make it spades!’ "’ “Well, they should have been ashamed of themselves, father and husband lying dead in the house,’ said Mrs. Jarr, the story at all funny'” rmly, looking his wife in the ‘All right, mother, I'll ‘very. well, I'll playing whist with the “and I don’t think Jarr,

Noticing so many wails from old mabis lately I want to say to the young girls, take warning and devote’ the days of youth to something more useful than the wearing of cheap finery and the Cultivation of {maginary musical talent. Music is the old maid's long suit, girls, and XM you belfeve the want columns, much culture is going begging, but it is not so. Real refinement, womanliness and culture are always sought and found; they are never seeking. These women have slighted heart and soul for their silks and their gewgaws, s0 now they are misfits without the love their nature craves. ‘“‘What ye sow that shall ye reap.’’ Old maids should be Oslerized at 30 to save good women from being deluded by thetfr discontent. Such women have made slaves of father and mother and think to enslave others by their pretended accomplish- ments, but strangers are not deceived; hence they get what they are worth, and O how they wall!

Harry Is Thinking. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, ° In your paper of Oct. 22, I noticed an article in which Thomas Martindale of Hazelton, Pa., suggests that the Board of Education allow 10 minutes sleep to be given to children who attend school. This suggestion, I think, is a good one, but if it takes a child, like myself, nearly 16 minutes to get to sleep, 10 minutes would not be time enough to get to sleep, therefore I would suggest that 2 minutes be given—15 minutes to get to sleep and 10 minutes sleep. An- Other suggestion I would like to make is that the board supply children, whose parents @re too poor and cannot sup- ply them, with clothing and food neces- Sary to have the children itn such a con- dition as to attend school, and this would solve the problem, to a great ex- tent, of children attending school, HBNRY D.

Like many others, I supposed that this whistling was necessary for the proper running of trains and ewitching the same. But last month I spent a week in (Chicago alongside of the tracks of the Illinois Central Railroad, where switching was constant, and, to my great surprise, there was not a sound of a whistle during the entire time. The logical conclusion which I drew was that if the railroads can op- erate their trains in Chicago without blowing whisles, that it would be no hardship upon them to require them to do it here. Possibly Chicago has a city ordinance forbidding this vicious, nerve-racking, sleep-destroying nui- sance. Unfortunately, in this city, by virtue of the wise benevolence of for- mer legislators, or the persuasion of railroad influence, railroad locomotives are exempt from the provisions of the city ordinance which forbids the blow- ing af steam whistles. But as we are now getting to be a big city, it is time that we dropped some of our unneces- sary village nolses. Ww. B. Speak Up, Candidates. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

THE BOOK CLUB Wherein Are Discussed the Latest New Books and Their Makers:

« @ holiday outing to Brighton.’

T its most recent meeting the Once-a-Week Book Club took up for discussion F. Berkeley Smith’s prose and picture study of English metropolitan life entitled ‘‘In London Town.’’ “It's a ‘pleasant change, now and then,” said the Kindergarten Director, ‘‘to find something besides fiction awaiting one’s attention in the way of literary entertainment. I confess I grow weary of a steady diet of novels and am disposed to welcome very gladly a hght, readable pook in another field.”’ “Especially when it’s by this young Berkeley Smith, son of F. Hop.,” re- marked the Artist. “He’s a bright and Ikeable chap—one of my own craft, you know—and I've been following his work with peculiar interest. I like his books immensgely.”’ ‘“‘Heretofore they’ve all been about Paris,’ joined in the former man, “and of the three he’s written before this one, I liked ‘How Amuses Itself’ best. That gay and faithful study of what is, superficially, the happiest city in the world was a genuine treat.” ‘“T preferred ‘The Real Latin Quarter,’’’ rejoined the Artist. however, that this is because I know the Quarter myself, having worked there when I was a youngster, and Berkeley Smith recalled it to my memory very vividly. 4s.e's thoroughly at home there, not merely a ‘transient’ gathering material for a book, and he’s temperamentally in complete sympathy with such an environment.” “Well, now, my chief liking was for ‘Parisians Out of Doors,’’ literary Grain Broker. “That book gave me a better understanding of what may be called the holiday side of Paris than anything I had ever read before, and its breezy atmosphere was finely in keeping with its theme.”’ “One thing certain,”’ joined in the Old Playgoer. “‘This F. Berkeley Smith chap doesn’t like London a little bit in comparison with Paris. He does his best, politely, to see all that’s entertaining and amusing in the life of Eng- land’s capital—but, Lord, how glad he was at the bovk’'s close when the time ‘came for him to turn Parisward and he wired his old maitre d'hotel friend of the Restaurant Weber to secure a table for two in his favorite corner for 8 o'clock that night, and two seats at the Theater des Capucines! The artist lad ‘was homesick for Paris!”’ “Why shouldn't he be?” asked the Artist, a bit wistfully. ‘‘London’s all right in its way, of course, but for a young painter who has lived for years in the Quarter there's no place like Paris. It’s the formality of London, a formal ity as much in evidence in its amusement world as anywhere else in its life. that got on F. Berkeley Smith’s nerves. That’s what made him enjoy the Langham Sketching Club so keenly. ‘Long live the Langham!’ he cries. ‘Long live anything informal in London!’ ’’ “The most remarkable thing to me,” confessed The Girl, ‘‘is that he seems to find Englishmen so much more likable than Englishwomen. He places such emphasis on this fact, remember—the men, handsome, companionable, thoroughbred, and the women too tall and angular, rdughly = shod, self-con- scious, rude in some of their starings,, lacking tn femininity and what he calls ‘allure.’ I shouldn’t like it a bit if I were an Englishwoman.” “Rit you're not, Girl,” ‘said the Literary Grain Broker, consolingly. “You're | almost as much ‘allure,’ so to speak, as a Parisienne, so its none of your funeral. But it’s certainly true that neither the British Matron nor the British Maid won the Berkeley Smith heart. ] don’t know what he’d have done but for that little Parisienne whom he met 4s they were both disembarking at Folkestone, and whom he afterward took for ’ Congress- Paris “Tt may be, lived and ’ said the American, almost as feminine and with “And O, what a stupid time they had there, thanks to the English idea of holiday entertainment!” laughed the High School Teacher. “The poor little French girl and the Franco-American #riist trying to be gay among a people who take their pleasure so sadly! I'm not astonished that Berkeley Smith says mournfully—‘It is not gay. this beach of Brighton’—nor that the tired little Parisienne fell asleep, with a sigh, on the way back to London. They had both put in a hard day’s work.” “Nevertheless,” smiled the Artist, ‘‘ Berkeley Smith toiled conscientiously to see all there is to be seen of the brighter side of English life. The London theaters. the concert halls, the famous Gaiety and Alhambra, the typical tap- rooms, with their rosy-cheeked and sociable barmaids, Piccadilly during its busy days and nights, the big restaurants and hotels, the country-house life— he tried everything, and it’s plain that he tipped his brush with lively and friendly colors whenever it was possible.’ “And very readable is his story,” said the former Congressman. “Also well illustrated. wherever the illustrating is done by the author or his artist friends. But I don't care for bald photo graphs of buildings as book illustra- tions.” “Some persons do, however,’’ rejoined the Kindergarten Director. ‘Per- sons who read guide books and that sort of thing—and, after all, this London book of Berkeley Smith's is just a chatty sort of guide book.” “Wouldn’t consider it much of a boom for London if I were a Londoner!”’ laughed the Literary Grain Broker. ‘So mehow, all through the nine chapters of ‘In Londen Town,’ I have in my mind’s eye a pathetic picture of young Berkeley Smith doing his level best to have a good time and failing miserably in the attempt. And there’s so much rain and cloudiness and depressing weath- er in the book’s atmosphere!” “It’s London’s rain and cloudiness and depressing weather,” pointed out The Girl. “and not the book’s, save that it was inevitable in an honest book about Lendon.” “The moral of the book is plain,’”’ suggested the Artist. ‘What is it?’’ asked the others. “Why—'Keep away from London if you're looking for a good time!’’ re- plied the Artist. A NOBLE BOOK. IDOLFO, THE COMING OF “oR THE DAWN,” by Edgerton R. Williams Jr., is a fine and nobie book. It is a story of Italy in the dark days of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when the spark of Christian- ity fanned into flame 200 years before by St. Francis of Asissi had failed until it flickered nigh unto death. It is the same field and time into which Sardou went for his play, “Gismonda,”’ and the heroine of this story is also Gismond4, but pot she of the stage. She is the wife of Ridolfo. Lord of Perugia and head of the house of Baglioni, tnost powerful of the lords of Italy. His re- generation through his wife is achieved by the writer in a story as rich in the gif: of story telling ar it is sincere fn tone and luxurious in vocabulary. It is a fire book, and one which none can read without reflecting to one’s ;o0od upon -the Christian religion, how danger- ously * ear we came to losing the mes- enqe of Christ, and what the word would be today without it. (A. C. Me- Ciurg & Co.) A FLASH OF GENIUS. GREAT English lawyer and A member of Parliament is injured in a Spanish railroad wreck. It is reported that he is dead, but he !s only half dead—his legs being paralyzed by a spinal injury. He accepts the free- dom that the report of his death gives him and hides himself in Mayfair. Goef- trey Herriard, 4 young English lawyer with political ambition was in the same wreck but was uninjured, and it is he who brings the half-dead Paul Gaste- neau back to England. The latter de- votes his brain—a diabolically, great

‘It’s blazoned on every page.

tor brain—to the task of making a success of Herriard. He coaches him in his speeches and parliamentary tactics; he | analyzes his court cases and lays out his plans of campaign. Thus Herriard forges ahead a great rate and inci- dentally makes mincemeat of Gaste- neau's former enemies. This strange partnership is the theme of Sir William Magnay’s new thriller, “The Master Spirit." The initial nov- elty of the plot loses winning power be- cause of some turgid padding and the thoroughly conventional melodrama of the conclusion. Magnay might have made a memorable tale of it had he for- gotten the current novelist’s convention that a hero must be big, good looking, slightly stupid, conventionally moral and impossibly lucky. The author had an inspiration but he lacked candor and produced the natural] result. © ON LINCOLN. N Jan. 26, 1906, Col. Clark E. Carr O delivered an address before the LI- linois State Historical Society at Springfield, Ill., on Ldéncoln at Gettys- burg. Col, Carr has enlarged this ad- dress and published it as a booklet which will be treasured by every patri- otic American, and especially by those who are especially interested in the character deeds and words of the great President. The volume contains an account of the origin of the Gettysburg Nationa! Cemetery and of the dedicatory exer- cises on the battlefield Nov. 19, 1863. There is an analysis of Mr. Everett's great oration which does justice to that statesman’s effort, overshadowed as it has been by Lincoln's wonderful ‘‘dedi- catory remarks.’’ There is also a cir- cumstantial account of the address it-

It was published {n one of the national week- lies, and is now issued in book form, delightfully illustrated. [It is pretty nearly warranted to spike the gun of émy sportsman who will read It. (Dodd, Mead & Co.) A DRAGON NOVEL. EW authors have Successfully ac- complished the task of stretching a short-story hit into a good nov- el. That Jesse Lynch Williams failed with “The Stolen Story’’ is known to all who read; that Mary McNeil Fenol- losa was victorious with “The Dragon Painter,”” anyone who reads the short story in Collier’s may learn by appeal to the novel just published. The expan- Sion has been accomplished w.thout vio- lence to the first plan of the story and by the introduction of description so dainty and pictorial that the charm of the first recital] js enhanced. ‘‘The Draz- on Painter’ is full of that atmosphere which if it be not Japanese is close to our ideal of that land; it ts a fine ro- mance done in novel terms and withal & worthy introduction to Japanese art. ANOTHER INDIANA TALE. ] NDIANIANS area truly great people. tre- The fine qualities of peacetulnes$ and patience have been instilled deeply into their hearts. Witness the number of novels that has been written about them since the novel-writing epi- demic struck the young men of the State—and yet no protest, no demonstra- tion of violence. Here's another “Indi- ana Tale’’—‘‘Hearts and the Cross,” with Harold M. Kramer boldly pleading guilty to its creation. Nearly all Indiana stories present substantially the same types and Mr. Kramer’s work is not wholly free of this banality, but he has grouped them in unusually dramatic sit- uations, and, whatever prejudice one may have against Hoosier stories, one must pronounce his work entertaining. The hero is a peripatetic preacher—in- troduced just after he had stolen a ride on a train—who goes into a neglect- ed country varish and redeems it by his fearlessness and honesty from the rough element that has dominated it. Inter- woven with the story of how he preached Sundays and worked through the week for support is a pretty love story. (Lo- throp, Lee & Shepard Co.) ARE YOU A BROMIDE? ELETT BURGESS, the discover- er of the bromide and sulphite theory as applied to humankind, has explained at length in “Are You @ Bromide?” a delightful little book in which his theory is expounded and ex- ernplified according to the most recent researches into the Psychology of bore- dom, including many well-known bro- midions now in use. es Burmeas little essay in satiric ae ~ ¥ quite defies prosaic descrip- mesg ‘ oortal nly alds in the classifica- on, One's ftriends—and others—but, better, it turns a curious light on one’s reader ——

AUL, afterwards called Paul, indi- cated in one of his epistles that before his conversion to Christian- ity he had been a fierce persecutor of aiherents to the faith of the Nazarene. Eiizabeth Miller, author of ‘The Yoke,’ has written “Saul of Tarsus, a Tale of the Early unlike | Christians,’’ with the object of making the reader realize the ki:d of man this funatical Saul must have been, and the conditions which made him a persecu- tor and afterwards a stanch champion of the "aith he had tried to exterminate. The story is told with much spirit and every effort has been made to embody in a striking manner the wild picturesque- ness of those days of brutality on the one hand and self-sacrifice, inspired by the new ideal, on the other. The ro- nance brings before us the Pharisees, the Essenes, Herod Agrippa (he who said to Paul “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian’’), the martyrdom of Stephen, a feast to Flora with a bac- chanalilan procession, and other char- acteristic happenings of the first cen- tury of the Christian era.

Very often it will happen that the most interesting feature in Ridgway's will be something that your local editor has dug up, something that the rest of the country would not have reason to be as much interested in ag you are. We might ask each of our local editors to write the advertising for his section, but they are so loaded up with things to do now we wonder when they E have got to stop advertising—at least until we can discover some new way to do jt. The trouble is by the old method we cannot keep our ad- vertising within gunshot of our contents. We cannot expect to sell a weekly ten hours old with advertising ten days old. This advertisement was written just ten days ago. We had to write it ten days ago in order to have it appvar all over the country this morning. Now that you know what Ridgway’s is trying to do, our only reason for further advertis- ing would be to call your attention to the special features in each number as it is issued, but if we are obliged to write the advertisement ten days before the number which we wish to adver- tise comes along, we cannot talk in our advertisements about these special features for the sim- ple reason that we ourselves do not know ten days before what the special features are go-

It will be a pity if we have to give up advertising. Possibly we could figure out some way to send the advertisements by telegraph the same way that we edit the Weekly. That sounds good. It’s new, too. Wonder how much it would cost? We shall look into it. Heigh ho! Huw trouble heaps up for the fellow who tries to do new things. Maybe you will remember to buy Ridgway’s every Saturday.

Football people are beginning to as- certain just what this little incident of the forward pass means this year. When the teams began their early practice most of them immediately rushed to the forward pass. Exactly What their theory was as to its use- fulness no one seems to Know. Eyvi- dently there was an impression that it was something which would gain sround against all manner of opposi- tion. More than that, it seems to be the notion of some of the coaches that it would baffle every opposing team, the poor gentlemen forgetting that their own teams might be quite as much ‘‘kerflummuxed”’ by its use as those of their adversaries. | In any event, almost all of the coaches began to school their players to attempt to do all manner of pos- sible and impossible ‘‘stunts’’ with the forward pass. In about three days there was an almost universal wail that the forward pass was the biggest snare and delusion which had been turned ‘rout by the Rules Committee in good- ness only knew when. Meanwhile Yale and Princeton were experimenting a trifle with the forward pass, but after a manner or system more sane. Instead of anticipating that every time it was attempted some light- footed youth was to flit across the field from nowhere and land in the goal of the opponents, efforts were made to combine the forward pass with other plays in such a manner that when it was ‘‘pulled off,”’ as they say in the prize ring, it would be after the oppos- ing line-up had been fooled by previous maneuvers. Almost from _ the start Yale and Princeton began to make successful gains with the forward pass, because it was used for strategic purposes, and not ‘Or a positive ground gainer in the face of a kKeen-evyed foe. Since its success has been demonstrat- ed at Yale and Princeton there have been some other universities with sense ‘enough. to perceive that the forward ' pass would not amount to anything if |it were to be used as a steady stock ‘play, and that it might amount to a whole lot when it happened to be slip- ped in where least expected. In the Harvard game the other day one of the Bates players sat on the field to tie his shoestring or something of the kind. The remainder of the Bates team lined up to play ball, and the Harvard players, who were chuckling to them- selves that the Bates quarter was going to start the next play with only ten men at work, nearly tumbled over in a fit ; Of chagrin when the ball was suddenly | passed to the Bates chap who had been away over at one side of the field fuss- ,;ing with his shoes. He walked across | the goal for a touchdown. There wasn't

a soul to molest him. There will be many a play similar to thar in scope used on the gridiron this year, and in all plays of that nature the forward pass will bear its part. When- ever the other side happens to nap for a moment it is safe to say that the side with the ball will shoot out a forward pass, which will catch the sleepy ones completely bamboozled by old Morpheus.

Everything that {ts begun with reason Will come by ready means unto its end; But things miscounselled must needs miswend.—Spenser Baseball writers are flying in the face of facts when they advocate the

penditure of money to make teams great. Money grea ams at. Money can no more bu tness baseball than it can buy happiness on earth or a place in saaued Although the intergers of the great baseball teams of the past and Present MONEY were annealed into a perfect whole without the aid af money. and while AND in many cases the teams on which vast ITS MEASURE Sums have been spent proved gross and t dismal failures, we are ever being told that money makes teams great. _ What money, may we ask, was spent to make the White Sox great? What priceless players have been purchased for that team? What did Jones, Davis, White, Altrock and Walsh cost it? What fabulous sum was given for the lucky Rohe, @ho hit in many games? What untold wealth was laid out for Denohue, who saved so many? What was paid fo : or Hahn?

If spending money would make teams great, surely Cincinnati would be

| of sheep? I never could see any beauty ; the champion of champions. What honor comes from buying a Daseha}} team as you would buy a lot : , : in the home decorated by a publie firm, money being the only limitation tq fyrnityre. How much more beau- tiful is the house decorated by the taSte and hahds of its women, a home made lovely, not through heavy power of money, but in spite of the lack of it. In this true beauty lies. So it is with baseball. Wherein is the glory which can be bought or the bliss that comes of possession of the beauty that can be purchased by the next passer-by in the street? Any man can buy some kind of a pennant just as he can buy some kind of a home and some kind of a wife, if he has

the money to do it with. But how much better is the pennant, or the home, or the wife you can win Strictly by your own personal effort and individual merits and power! In not any way of money can true Nappiness or success be bought. There are many things which money will not buy, illy as the young and old baseball writers may understand it. The way to get a baseball winner is to “manage” to get it. The work of the White Sox and the Athletics, teams on which very little money has been spent, when contrasted with that of New York and Cin-,

cinnati, upon which endless sums have been dissipated, should have taught us this. But there are some things in the world which are very hard to do. The hardest of them, I find is, to make basehal] writers think. Even Mammon, their idol, cannot do this. Having fought the Russians in the Crimea, the South in America, the En- glish in Canada—and everywhere else—the Racetrack Trust in Missouri -and sham everywhere and in all its forms, the three-score young man, Capt. P. J. “Carmody, is quite willing to settle the fuss made by paris mobs over bad starting at Longchamps—pronounced ‘‘Lon chan” through the nose—by going to France as soon as President Fallieres calls upon him. We are upon the verge of a long ang cold winter, but it will pass quickly if, now and then, Jack Hennessy can Show us a good bull dog. The first big rugby games, under the new rules, will be played this afternoon. Keen attention will be accorded the performances of Har- vard against West Point, Princeton and Cornell, Yale and Amherst, Michigan and Illinois and Chicago against Indiana. These games will be watched not only by eager college partisans, but by men indifferent to the outcome of the contests save in as far as they illustrate the virtues of the new rules. Just now Harvard seems to possess the hest team in the country in point of individual excellence, grasp of tactics A under the new rules and general mental GRE AT D AY and physical activity. The small, but very select, school. of West Point may FOR RUGBY. be relied upon to thoroughly try the Crimson, for the soldiers of the United States never fail to take a hold and leave their mark. Not in years has an eleven gone away from West Point without a battle, though the army - has but a few hundred men to recruit its team from, where the big colleges have their thousands. Cornell will give Princeton all she can hold end the Indians always do take good care of Pennsylvania, )whoever else they may fall before. Yale should win handily from Amherst, though the small college freyuently makes a sur- prisingly fine showing. : In the West the big games will be those between Michigan and Titinolg and Chicago and Indiana. On the showing made by the Wolverines against Ohio last week the Sucker team has a rare chance. Yost, to be sure, is a money-making man, and is apt to cover up the real ability of his team just to get bets against it when it tackles Pennsylvania on Nov. 17. His strength will be disclosed by the game this afternoon. Chicago plays Indiana, a team which is said to be quite as good as that . conducted by Stagg this year. With nine men of last year’s good team —the only one which scored on Chicago—back in school, the Hoosiers are liable to give Stagg all he can handle: It will be a great football afternoon, the greatest of many years, and will be watched with interest everywhere.

The witnesses condemned the care lessness of the watchman in the stronn- est terms. They said he showed no concern whatever for the nature of the Offense which had been committed and ignored the requests of citizens to cap- ture the offender. They finaliy had io take the law into their own hands, they testified, and pursue the assailant of Mrs. Flowers. Even when they cap- tured the man thev had to beg the watchman to take him into custody and mot until several policemen arrived did he seem to realize his duty. Lieut. Schwartz testified that he sus- pended Walsh on the statement of the prisoner that he had been released by the watchman. It took the board just a minute to arrive at a conclusion as to the discno- Sition of the case after they had heard the eyldence. The testimony showed that the police- man on the Leat, John MeKye, did not ‘eon’ at the scene of the attnck at al Patrolman John P. Meinz of the Cen- tral District was dism'ssed from the force for being drunk while on duty at the Horse Show. Meinz’s defense was that he was suffering with a orippled foot and took a-drink to relieve the pain, and that he was sober when dis- covered by Sergt. Sullens. Three other Sergeants supported Sullens’ testimony that Meinz was unfit for duty. Stewart Rebukes Negro. The charge of drawing a revolver and ok wepertggge | a Page motorman, made against robationary Patrolman Wil- kinson, a negro assigned to the Carr Street Station as a special, was dis- missed after hearing the testimony on both sides, with a last reprimand from President Stewart. “The board does not believe your story in its entirety,’’ sald Mr. Stewart, ris- ing and looking at the negro. “It was ungentilomanly and highly improper for an officer to draw his revolver on a crowded street car, endangering the lives of the passengers. If it were not for circumstances surrounding your case, the board would not hesitate in dismissing you from the force. “Besides, Capt. Johnson has spoken very favorably of your services, and this has had a great deal to do with the decision of the board.’’ According to the testimony, Wilkin- son boarded a’ car at Vandeventer and Finney avenues. He sat down on thei front platform, and the motorman or- dered him to go inside the car. VWVil- kinson refused. The motorman admit- ted that he then removed the controller handle from the controller box and raised it. Wilkinson then drew his re- volver and held it at the motorman’s stomach until he replaced the controller handle. The part of Wilkinson's “siory’’ which the board did not believe was his ac- count of boarding the car and wishing to ride on the darkened front platform raiher than Inside, that he might ob- serve a “‘s’s,''ous character’ he had seen slouching Jown the street. PILOT STRICKEN BLIND. PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 26.—Although simidenly. stricken blind at the wheel, Capt. A. McLeod of the tug Prudence, of Parrsboro, N. 8., brought his craft, with two barges in tow, safely into Rockland hartber, telegraphs the corre- spondent of the Newark (N. J.) News. The Prudence was at the outer edge of the harbor, three miles from her an- chorage, when Capt. McLeod was sirick- en. Although totally blind, he never once relinquished his hold on the wheel, nor even told his crew of his plight, but gave the usual orders until the tug had dropped her barges and come within 100 feet of the dock. The Prudence passed two vessels on the way in, but the vet- eran salt could tell by the reverbera- tion of his whistle, thrown back from those craft, just how to avoid them. This is an art known to many of the tug and steam:r captains along the ¢eoast. .

Wh bad the. Florida Hlurricane Lid to Gunboat Gloucester, “The Bumblebee’ at the Battle of Santiago MDNAPERS SAID 10 HOLD ANARCHI Pittsburg Detectives Smile Emma Goldman’s Alarm Over Berkman. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 27.—Emma Goldman telegraphed here from New York declaring somebody had kidnaped her latest husband, Alexander Berkman, the anarchist, recently released from Jail after haing served a sentence for trying to kill Henry C. Frick. Berk- man, according to the New York anar- chists, was to have lectured at Cleveland Thursday night, but failed to reach there. . The report did not create much excite- ment among detectives here. Harry Perkins, employed by H. C. Frick to watch Berkman after his release from the Workhouse, smiled good-naturediy when he was told of the kidnaping story. “It’s all a mistake,’ said Perkins. “Berkman is all right. He only thought he was going to lecture in Cleveland. People often get those false ideas into their heads. Maybe he really thought so much about the matter that he really believed himself that he was going to lecture there. But it was all a mistake. I think I know where Berkman is and could have him very shortly if I wanted him.”’ Perkins would say no more. From his talk and manner he allowed it to be un- derstood that. Berkman would not be permitted to lecture anywhere. It is generally believed here that Berkman was either persuaded not to deliver his lecture in Cleveland or that if he per- sisted {n doing so, he was forcibly taken in hand by the detectives. It is said that in addition to the private detectives who are watching Berkman that secret service operatives are also constantly on Flesh

Arrangement for Separation Without Resort to Court Is Drawn Up.

EDWARD'S APPEAL VAIN

Vanderbilt’s Daughter Displays What King Terms “In- credible Obstinacy.”’

SOCIETY WOMAN NAMED Duke’s Theatrical Party at Blen- heim Said to Have Set Country Talking, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, | ( New York World LONDON, Oct. 27.—The separation of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, news of which was cabled exclusively to the New York World and the Post- Dispatch last week, has now become public property and is openly discussed in Mayfair. The Onlooker declares that it constitutes the greatest society sen- Sation in years, King Edward, who, partly from mo- tives of policy and partly out of good nature always contrives to prevent these aristocratic upheavals, used the utmost personal effort to bring about a recon- cillation. Iiven an apparent reconcila- ‘tion would have satisfied the King, but the Duchess displayed what His Majes- ty termed “incredible obstinacy.” The Duchess’ own friends, however, defend her attitude, declaring that she merely displayed proper determination in asserting herself. The failure of the King as a domestic mediator was not due wholly to the Duchess, as there was nothing more substantial colorable desire on the part of the Duke for another patching up of their diffi- culties. For the sake of appearances, however, the Duke was prepared to sanction the terms which were actual- ly submitted to the Duchess’. through the King, but they were decisively and summarily rejected by the daughter of the Vanderbilts. The air of London drawing rooms is now thick with stories affecting both parties. The Duke's friends in society represent him as a much-ewronged man. The truth, however, appears to be that he developed the same antipathy to his wife that his father did to the Duke's mother. But, whereas the fath- er, aside from his marital relations, was a brilliant, charming man, the present Duke is described by one who knows him well as. '"'merely a pompous, dis- eontented, ill-conditioned little jacka- napes. Say Duchess Was Negtected. Acquaintances of the Duke and Duchess agree that he entirely neg- lected her. Each went his or her own way, and. though she seemingly bore her position with equanimity, {It is no secret that she was in fact a very mis- ernble woman. The Duchess made a brave fight to hide her tears from the world. She had her own chosen friends, cultivat- ing literary society, being ambitious to belong to what is recognized as the intellectual smart set. Though tncompatibility was the original cause of their drifting apart, it was not, according to reparts now freely discussed, the reason for the definite rupture. It is declared that it is now more than a year since the Duke's infatuation for a beautiful so- ciety woman led to strong protests from the Duchess, who at demanded a separation. One of her brothers who came_ specially from America to intervene, succeeded in persuading her to refrain from carry- ing out her purrose. Sinee then, in her absence abroad, it is said a theatrical party was given in Blenheim Palace by the Duke, which set the whole countrvside’ talking. Following this scandal the Duchess again threatened proceedings for di- vorce. Even this trouble was even- tually smoo-vhed over, the couple nat- urally. growingjimore and more de- tached, were rarely seen together, and 1906, by the Press Pub. Co, i . even abandoned all joint entertaining | at Blenheim. The last quarrel, which culminated in the separation, arose from another incident of the same kind, which the Duchess resolutely refused to con- done. Royalty’s Influences Fail. influence, not only of rovalty, but of the Marlborough fam- ily, with whom the Duchess has al- ways heen on the best of terms, were brought to bear without effect. The arrangement for a separation without resort to the courts have now heen drawn up, signed, sealed and de- livered. The Duchess under it has set- tled £190.900 a year on the Duke, In eddition to this the Duke has an in- come ot 50.0090 a vear of his own, clear of all encumbrances. The Duchess retains possession of the two children. the Marquis of Blandford and Tord Ivor Spencer-Churehill, who are 9 and 8 vears old, respectively. The Duke, of course, retains Blenheim, the historic family home of the Churchills, while for a time, at least, the Duchess will keap their town house, Sunderland House, as her home. The Duchess is now in Paris and will remain abroad for some time. Later she will certainly go to America with her children for a long visit. The Duke is now at Rlenheim, where he has had several conferences recently with the Vanderbilt solicitors. As 2 matter of fact, the separation wus settiecd in principle three weeks ago, but was not formally embodied in deed until last week. The name of the society woman who wis one of the proximate causes of the domestic convulsion in the Marlborough household is now connected with an- other scandal which has been keenly discussed in club land. Another of her admirers was one of a family of sportine brothers, the head of which is a well-known sporting ear!, a former steward of the jockey club. The other day her husband, who appar- ently had onlv just heard of this affair entered the reading room of the Turf Club, the most exclusive institution of its kind in England, and without a word of warning fell upon his wife’s sporting admirer, knocked him down and actual. ly kicked him.

eee” eas CROWD ORIVEN BY ORANG-OUTANG Big Monkey Escapes, and, Armed With Iron Bar, Threatens Spectators, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Dohong, the orang-outang, was the center of a scene of excitement at the Zoological Garden in the in’the Bronx, yesterday. He is five years old, weighs 100 pounds

and, according to Director Hornaday, : is as strong aS an ox. He has been in what the keepers call a “devilish” mood for a week. Several days ago he ripped out one.of the bars of his trapeze and wre«!:ed the top of his age. yesterday he began early to wrench at the half-inch iron bar in the front! of his cage. With his usual craftiness he kept his eye on Keepers Engelholm and Heilly and sat as meek as could be when they were near. Finally his opportunity came. Both keepers stepped out of the building. Dohong braced himself agains: side of the cage and with a twist wrenched two of the iron bars out of their heavy frame. He seized one like a club and jumped down from the cage among the spectators, mostly women and children. : Then .there was a panic. Screaming and snatching up their little ones, thi women fled toward the doors at either end of the monkey house. Dohang chattering and brandishing his bar, drove the frightened crowd before him. The keepers, hearing the yelling and seeing the throng bursting fromthe doors, sent in a fire alarm. But when they saw Dohong scamper out in the the mighty | | | wake of the stampede they knew what. the trouble was. bngelholm- shouted to command to halt. Dohong stopped obe- diently, and the keeper took him bv the hand and led him unprotesting back to the cage. He sat in a sulked while the bars were being put back in place. BUSINESS NOTICE.

A FOOD CONVERT Good Food the True Road to Health. The pernicious habit some persons still have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve dyspepsia, keeps up the pat- ent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion—dyspepsia—is caused: by what is put into the stomach in the way of improper food, the kind that 80 taxes the strength of the digestive Or gans they are actually crippled. When this state is reached, to resort to stimulants is like whipping a tired horse with a big load.

Try helping the stomach -by leaving off-heavy, greasy, indigestible food and take on Grape-Nuts—light, easily di gested, full of strength for nerves and brain, in every grain of it. ‘There's no waste of time nor energy when Grape Nuts is the food. “T am an enthusiastic user of Grape- Nuts and consider it an ideal food, writes a Maine man: “I had nervous dyspepsia and w run down, and my food seemed to do me but little good.

AT Joy [HEY BRING | Jo Fvery Home . — as with joyous hearts and smiling-faces they romp and play—when in health—and now conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they eiijoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avéidance of every medicine of an injuri- ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used: remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa- ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well iniormed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
