New Faces at the Feast. fhree new managers will attend the eeting, Hughie Jennings, representing etroit; Joe Cantillon, the new Wash- gton leader, and “Chick Stahl, repre-. senting Boston. The American League ertainly chose wiselv when the ques- ions of selecting a manager for Detroit 1d Washington came up. In Cantillon 1e leagtie has landed one of the oldest in the game today. star umpire several Pi nd wisest heads ‘antillon was years ago, and since becoming interest- ed in minor league with his brother he has made wonderful head- way and has accumulated quite a snug fortune besides. The Capital city has not boasted of a first-class inanager these many years. While the club as ft now stands looks weak and has been tailing behind these many years there are those who believe that with Cantil- lon at its head it may become a factor in ithe big race before another year, @antillon is a close friend of Comiskey and it is hintea that Charles will ren- der Joe every assistance to strengthen his club. Comiskey has a number of promising young players on his staff, in fact he carried two full teams last season. The Senators looked very good while playing here and all over the cir- euit the critics seemed of the opinion that the team was all right but it was sadly lacking in team work and practi- cally without @ manager, in Jake Stah!. Cantillon will remedy all these weak spots and it would not be surprising to ‘gee the old tailenders come to the front with a jump. e Jennings Will Assist Detroit. The loss of Bill Armour over in De- troit, good fellow that he was, will do muéh to help the game along there. Armour shone brightly in a minor league, but he failed sadly in both -Cieveland and Detroit as a manager. In Jennings the Wolverines have landed a thinking ballplayer. A side partner of . McGraw, Robinson, Joe Kelly and the other stars of the fa- - mous Baltimore club, Jennings comes from Baltimore, where he has been moving along serenely ever since he dodged out.of fast company. Detroit will like him immensely. It is almost a certainty that Detroit willl secure Jake Stahl tbr first sack. Stahl before ‘assuming the responsibilities of a manager upon his shoulders was a cracking good baliplayer. He could bat, field and run the bases with any ef them. At Washington the past sea- son his playing was a joke. He was disheartened over the ill-success his club was meeting with and therefore quit cold. With Jennings behind him every second urging him on Stahl should again come back and resume his old place among the top-notchers at sack one. Bolster Up Boston. Another ol hole at glassic Boston has finally been -settied. While J. 1. Day- lor, the owner of the majority of the stock of the Boston club has not given out the name of his manager for publi- catiun as yet, it ts practically settled that Chick Stahl will succeed Jimmy Collins as helmsman of the cismantled championship hulk of a club. There ts keen competition in Boston now between both clubs. Last season the pair had a lovely. battle for bottom place and as a result neither one coined a barrel of money. Ban Johnson stood patiently by all season and said not a word. But goon as the season closed he jumped {nto the Beantown burg and stirred up @ hornets nest. He is determined to resurrects another winner in the best ball town in his league, and his first atep. so knowing ones say, Was to sug- gest that Stahl be continued in the man- agement and Jimmy Collins be trans- ra baseball ferred to- some other club. in the inter-- est of league baseball. Collins is ready to quit in Boston. He failed dreadfutly ) 98 &@ manager and will be sold or traded to some other club. Jimmy Mc- Aleer right now seems to be the near- eat one to the Collins prize. Connie Mack wanted Collins but the wise old Mack, is not much on fancy salaries, be- _ tng contented to take chances on de- ping young material and a result he tailed off his negotiations for Collins on _ Wis return from Frisco a few weeks ago. | Clank Griffith’ made a play to secure “a McAleer, be it known, ig the ae - is mePeeee

| Sardless of the other. McAleer needs the services of a sea- soned third sacker to bolster up that excellent infield of his. Collins, he says, is just the man for him. Some argue that {it is a question whether or not Collins can go a route after practically a year’s lay-off. McAleer, who is a keen judge of ball players, says that he will take a chance on Collins’ con- dition. “‘Even if he only had one leg,” said McAleer in an interview the other day, “I'd sign him.” If I land him I'll certainly make those White Sox and 3riffith Highlanders g0 along at an awful pace this next year.” McAleer can well afford to sacrifice two or three of his players and some cash to secure Collins, and will surely do it if the Opportunity presents itself. he Tilt Over Schedule. There is bound to be a tilt between’ the National and American Leagues next week over the schedule question. President Johnson of the American has been an ardent advocate of the short season and each he has brought the question before his league for dis- cusSion. On the other hand there are several magnates in the National who are set on lengthening instead of short- ening the season. Last December, Lloyd year suggestion of Mr. Hedges, drew up 140-day non-conflicting schedule. It quired just one month to frame paper up. Mr. Hedges took it to cinnati and handed jit over Herman of the Nationa! re- the C"in- to the schedule, mailed it to Ban Johnson. The American League was Willing to adopt the measure and Garry Herman was the lone magnate in the National who was willing to accept it. This vear there has been considerable discussion pro and con between the rival mag- nates of both leagues over the matter and judging from the pointed §state- ments made by § President Johnson, there will surely be a split between the leagues on the schedule question, un- less Mr. Herman in the meantime suc ceeds in convincing Murphy, Robinson and Dreyfus that the shorter season should be adopted in both leagues. Should the American League vote play only 140 games the coming season and should the National frame up a 154- game schedule, or agreement to play this number of games there wil] be some fun. Hach league will then go to work and draw up their own schedules re- The ultimate re- sult will be that there will be conflict- ing dates in all the cities. St. Louis. Chicago and Cincinnati, Sunday towns, would be the main sufferers if such a situation presents itself. President Johnson, though, knows the ground over which he is treading an? the chances are, with Herman's sistance, the short season will win cut. If not, then it will”be a fight to the finish when the Schedule Committees meet in New York Christ- mas or New Year's. probably

Tigers, which tock place in Chicago on Thanksgiving Da®, Was a bone-breaking affair. Four men, Heston, Roseth and two others, sus- tained serious injury. Speaking of the affair the Tribune says: “Willie Heston's misfortune was par- ticularly discouraging. The man who is classed by most of the critics as the greatest halfback in the college game, East or West, who had played four years for Michigan without having time taken out for him once, who scored almost 500 points and helped win four championships for his alma mater, w&o has a place beside Eckersall in the fdote ball Pantheon, was carried off the field writhing in pain and taken to a hos- pital in an undertaker’s ambulance.

Upon examination of Heston’s right leg it was found that the tibia wag broken two inches above the ankle joint. His left leg also was sprained slightly.

Ann Arbor Men Will Probably If the hunch is correct to the effect that Michigan yearns to jump the Big Nine and hook up with the Eastern uni- versities exclusively in athletics, it looks pretty muchas though Michigan would have a pretty healthy mouthful to masticate, _ Apparently Michigan very about being licked by Penn and is no déubt that Michigan would like to tear loose from the peevish rules that govern the Western conference. The Michigan rootérs blame it all upon the conference rules about trafning table limitation of big games, etc. But when it comes to affiliating with a collegiate organization whose center of activity lies hundreds of miles away —well, that’s worth ‘thinking over be- fore they take action. In the Eastern crganization Michigan would be a rank outsider, and Michigan conditions would be given scant atten- tion in the making of rules and the set- ting of eligibility lines. Michigan is so far west of the other universities that it would be hard for Ann Arbor to get any athletic events at home, and would be forced to play prac- tically all of her games away’ from Ann Arbor, not only in footbaN, but in baseball, basket ‘ball and other sports as well. sore is there Money in the West. Michigan's logical opponents are in the West—Chicago, Wisconsin, Minne- sota and other teams of the Big Nine. Here's where the natural rivalry ts found strongest, those the teams which will draw the money into Michigan's coffers. Of course, Eastern enthusiasts will Pay good money to see Michigan istack up against iWastern teatns, for the nov- elty of the thing; but the naturaf rival- ry is lacking, and with the novelty worn off by several appearances, Mich- igan would draw but poorly against Eastern teams.

—_ Manufacturers Endeavor’ to Throw Cold Water on St. _ | Louis Oonvention, Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—Western bowlers are feeling the hand of the manufac- turing interests turned against them for the first time in the ten or a dozen years Of the popularity of the game in this city. That is the feeling aroused in the minds of the leading officials of the game by the reports from several other cities of the country, tending to discredit the success of the impending national tournament at St. Louis. <Ac- cording to the idea of these officials, the knocks have been put in by a con- cern which for the first time in the sev- en years of national tournaments lost the contract for laying the alleys at a national meeting. This has been only a guess on the part of the offickals of this city, based upon the appearance of the reports that Cin- cinnati and Milwaukee intended to withdraw from the American Bowlifg Congress, ceived assurances of a former vice-pres- ident of the congress, but was thrown out at Indianapolis by the voting, that A. B. C. was promoting a meet be- tween the five men. doubles, and _ sin- gles champions of each of the Ameri- can, National and Western congresses, at which the real championship of the country would be determined. + Pasdeloup Denies Keports. Frank I.. A. B. C. Congress, Pasdsloup, treasurer of the vesterday declared had been given any man to speak for the A. B. C. outside of its own regular cificers. and that the national championsiips in any way than by the three-game reute used for six years past and which has given genera! satisfaction, With this denial from as authoritative a source of information as Pasdeloup, there can be little question that the knocks have been merely an effort to get back at the congress. Private ad- vices from both Cincinnati and Milwau- kee show the childishness of any re- ports that those cities would bolt from the parent body, especially as Philadel- phia has not given any assurances that either that town or Atlantic City, where it was reported the actual tournament would be held. was in ae position to guarantee cash prizes as high as $5000, the bowlers expect to be realized this year Sam Karpf to Retire. and that Denver had re- ’ LISHME N THINK WE ARE BOASTING i» a

the critics come from, that Jack O'Brien, a fine American boxer, could ‘beat all the English heavyweights in a single night,’ and that so little support is now forthcoming for boxing in this country that there is no English champion worth the name at any weight at ak: Nearly anyone in the crowded house at the National Sporting Club a few nights ago might have a word to say about each of these propositions. The writer was present, and is of the opinion that the American who took on both Moir and Palmer “in a single, night’ would be a very tired man at the end of it, and there are others, too. The criticism contains all the breezy exag- geration which Transatlantic journalism is so successfully importing into Eng- land; but it is worth while considering how much truth there is at the bottom of it, apart from the well-known Ameri- can opinion that this broken-down old country has scarcely a leg left to stand upon in any branch of sport. There would be a greater amount of truth in this sympathetic expression of regret if the name of Kid McCoy had been connected with it; for in one night, at Wonderland, this splendid pugilist did indeed beat three men in the same ring, one after another. But there are not many alive like Kid McCoy. Fortunate- lv for boxing, all the big, strong men are not monopolized by any country. We had a few, who are not forgotten yet; and there are some still left who will probably make their mark even in the country which has produced Phila- delphia Jack O'Brien, J. L.. Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Jeffries, and the rest. . As a-matter of fact, if O’Brien were to come over. here tomorrow, with an open challenge to all comers. which would? be immediately accepted by Moir, if not by others, his supporters might suddenly discover that the American champion was a middleweight who would find it somewhat difficult to give away quite so much in sheer avoirdu- pois, whatever be his cleverness. The phrase quoted above is not likely to have been used by O'Brien himself, or any boxer who knew his business, what- ever he thought of English boxing just now. Yankee Coin Talks. But it is evident there are men who

Antagonism to any of the business houses being represented on the Board of Executives caused this statement, and it is undoubtedly genu- ine this year. With Pasdetoup retiring at the same time, the A. B. C. will be in virtually new hands next vear. ——— ae ee

It was not Neil who did the trampling. As quick and cunning a boy as was ever in @ ring, with one guard over the point of the jaw, and an astonishing readiness to take any pun- ishment on the rest of his face, Neil never fought his man until the last few rounds, when Bowker was hopeless- ly ahead on points; and Nell then found that he could never get in the one round-arm slasy on the chin which he entirely relied on for beating his clever little adversary. ’ Owen Moran, too, if we stick to the lighter classes, beat two of their best men when he went over to the states. and could never get on another match.

But the hypothesis is need- less and impracticable; and it is no use hlinking the fact that neither Mair nor Palmer are up to the highest standard, even if they seem able to take on, with every. prospect of success, any, chai- may have in store for them. Brains Win Fight. The fact is we have largely lost the science and the ringcraft which have disting uished boxing in‘ the United States of late, and that is partly be- cause the Americans who take it up there are better educated men than ours. Brute strength and bulldog cour- age are all very well, but there is nothing sadder than seeing them go down before superior knowledge; they must be supported by ‘better - brains than the average English professional hoxer seems to possess, for few, indeed, are blessed with the special natural genius which seems suddenly to appear in Bowker the moment he steps Into a ring. And there is one last point that must not be forgotten. It is this: English boxers seem only to have re- tained their characteristic style long enough to hand it on to others. They Americans, once having learned it, are putting it into practice now. There is really only one style in boxing, just as there ts in rowing, and what the Cambridge crew of 1300 stands for fn English oarsman- ship that the style of Jem Mace was to the English ring. When Mace left off boxing in England he went to Aus- tralia, and in Sydney he taught Larry Foley, who turned out not only a fine pupli, but an admirable teacher, for Jackson, Fitasimmons, and young Griffa Peter Jackson handed on the Nghted torch to San Francisco, and the whole of the United Sta promptly rec- ognized his value. AMericans are not slaw either to understand or to profit by a good thing. When Fitzsimmons followed in the same path, and the ath- ers, too, the thing was done. The per- fectian of English boxing had been suc- cessfully transplanted,“wnd Tt was ‘yet further fostered by such men as Billy Edward# and Arthur Chambers, whe took it straight from this country acro¢ the Atlantic. : Bouts One-Sided, The result was soon obvious. When the best Americans came over they beat us in every weight, from Peter Jackson downwards, and they beat us tn the English stvle, which we had. so need- lessiv forgotten—‘‘velotity and power of hitting, combined with quickness and ease of movement on the feet’'—-as Mr. A. F. Bettinson has so excellently de-— fined it.

game | BILLIARD BALLS VERY SENSITIVE. Did you know that ivory billiard balis eatch cold and are just as Hable to pneumonia as the society boy who goes out without his muffler? Any time a billiard ball gets into a draft its glands contract cold and cracks appear on its surface. Then it has to be tenderly nursed or there is a funeral in the billiard world. The report from ‘New York that the balls used in the championship games between Hoppe and Schaefer and Slos- son and Sutton were suffering in this way started several of the local billiard sharks fanning the other night. The balls used were made of the best of ivory. The ownefs had refused $100 apiece for them, but they now seem destined to see an early grave. The hundreds of spectators who sat through the recent matches, dripping with perspiration, did not know that the hall was purposely kept at such 4&4 high temperature to protect the halls from cold. Every precaution was taken to prevent drafts in the hall, but even at that a little shiver of wind struck the table and the delicate balls. immediate- ly began to bump. They? became chilled and lost_ their elasticity. Both Schaefer and Hoppe complained of this the first night, and Slosson raised a similar protest while he was being defeated by Sutton. Edward McLaughlin noticed the trou- ble with the balls while acting at ref- eree, but he does not attribute it to the draft so much as to the stone slab which rested under the cloth. Mr. Mc- Laughlin says the stone slab was put in the hall while cold and had no chance to thaw out before the match begin. The delicate billiard balls, after com- ing out of their warm nest in a box of rin

‘ ee ee ee oan f ‘most eet Delehanty Performed Greatest Feat of Hard Hitting. The greatest slugging feat in the history of the game was that of Ed Delehanty, off Adonis Terry, on the West Side grounds in Chicago. The feat is historic, but there are so many inquiries concerning it that it is worth while giving the facts. It was a game between Phila- Chicago one after- noon in 189%. Terry was pitching in rare form and, in the lan- guage of the game, he ‘‘had ev- erything.”” The first time up Delehanty cracked the bal! high over the right-field fence, not far insi€@e the foul line—perhaps about four feet. The second time up he drove a ler over short. Dahlen got his hands on the ball, but it tore through them and rolled clear out to gft field. The third .time up he lifted the ball over the right-field fence again, this time faredown in right cen- ter. The next time he drove the ball ovt to the clubhouses in center for his third home run. In the ninth inning he came up again. Lange played back be- tween the two clubhouses and the other outfielders retreated to the fences. Delehanty hit the ball straight to center. It struck the top of one clubhouse, bounded to the top of the other and rolled back up the field, ana the. big fellow made the circuit again. Yet Philadelphia got only eight hits off Terry in. the. game, counting Del's five, and was beaten 8& to 6. delphia and CROKER GETS MONEY. In This Case His Horses Won It for Former Tammany King. Richard Croker heads the list of win- ning owners in Ireland, according to the turf calendar to hand from the Green Isle. As a result of °8 races he has a total of $20,136. Until a couple of months ago Croker’s horses were trained at the Curragh of Kildare, but they have. been removed to his place at Sandvfora, near Dublin, and have been affected for the worse by the change. Next on the list to the former Tam- ‘many chief is James Daly, one of the consistent followers Of racing in the ould dart, with a total of $11,402, Most of this was won by the ®-year-old Lalla Rookh, one of the best fillles seen in Ireland In a long time, and she also heads the list of winning horses. Daly also owns Hackler, the stallion which heads the list of winning sires, and is the father of Hackler’s Pride, which won some big races in England. r. O. B. Butler, who has had several vietories in England, heads the gentle- man jockey list with 31 firsts, 32. sec- ends and 25 thirds. Thompson heads the list of professional riders. On the winning owners’ list are Maj. Eustace Toder, owner of Spearmint, winner of this year’s Derby and Paris Grand Prix. Hlis figures in Ireland were $2640, while | he was second to Lord Derby in Eng- land. Col.

The date of the race, if arranged, will be set to suit the convenience of the Britishers, and it is not improbable that the Englishmen will be called upon to meet not only the winner of the Yale- Harvard race, but also the winning crew in. the Varsity eight-oared race at Poughkeepsie next year, which would make it a thoroughly representative in- tercollegiate internation] contest.

The Middies were play- ing their opponents off their feet and the big and fat youngsters of the North Carolina Institute; who were innocent of any knowledge of the forward pass or the onside kick. grew weary of the struggle. Four or'five touchdowns had been made against them and they had lost interest. Seeing how. soft things were the Middies began to practice their cutest tricks. When a middy failed to understand the signal for a complicated play he would yell “‘signal,’’ and Quarterback Norton would then repeat the numbers. Suddenly Norton began to think his men had lost their memories. After every signal for a play some one murmured “signal,” and he was obliged to repeat the numbers. The game became tedious. Spectators yelled “get a move on” an other annoying ‘things. Norton got rat- tled and storméd between the plays. horrible suspicion in Norton's ear.

Nothing definitely was settled because the matter must be put before the com- mittees, but the result of the conference was all that the Conimissioner could de- sire., Date Not Arranged. ‘The date of the race, if arranged, will be set to suit the convenience of the Britishers, and it is not improbable that the Englishmen will be called upon to meet not only the winner of the Yale- Harvard race, but also the winning crew in the. varsity eight-oared race at Poughkeepsie next year, which would make it a thoroughly representative in- tercollegiate internation] contest. Yale would favor admitting the Poughkeepsie winner, hut Harvard's desires will not be known until it is positively stated that one or more crews from England will compete at Jamestown. While the commissioner's visit to Eng- land was for the express purpose of securing the consent of a British col- lege crew to row in Amefica, he has done a deal of missionary work among the prominent London and Continental! boat clubs with a view of securing a big representation at the annual regatta of the tage Association of Amateur Oarsmen, which will also be held in connection with the Jamestown Expo- sition. He invited the Leander and Lon- don Rowing Clubs, and afterwards vis- ited Hamburg'and interested Dr. Ru- perti, Secretary of the North Berlin Rowing Club in the National Regatta. It is expected that Germany will send a four, a double, and a single to com- pete against American amateurs. The athletic interests of the expost- tion were not neglected by the commia- sioner, and it is probable that several of the most prominent athletes in Eu- rope will enter the National Amateur Athletic Union meet at Jamestown next year. With the exception of the Olympic 8ames at St. Louis, the exposition ath- letic and aquatic events will attract more foreign contestants than have ev- er been brought together’at one time in this country, and next year promises to be the most important one ever known in athletic history. Grim is the game of football and smiling is seldom seen on the faces of the players during a contest. Yet a Lit- tle real humor cropped up Saturday in the struggle between Annapolis and North Carolina. The Middies were play- ing their opponents off their feet and the big and fat youngsters of the North Carolina Institute, who were innocent of any knowledge of the forward pass or the onside kick. grew weary of the Struggle. Four or five touchdowns had been meade against them &nd they had lost interest. Seeing how soft things were the Middies began to practice their cutest tricks.

Suddenly Norton began to think his men had lost their memories. After every signal for a play some one murmur “signal,” and he was obliged to repeat the numbers. The game became tedious. Spectators yelled “get a move on” an other annoying ‘things. Norton got rat- tled and storméd between the plays. hen one of the halfbacks whispered a horrible suspicion in Norton's ear. This was to the effect that the requests to repeat signals came from their fleshy opponents. With anger on his face Norton strode up to Referee Southworth and said things in an unparliamentary way.

Did you know that ivory billiard badlis catch cold and are just as Hable to pneumonia as the society boy who goes kw without his muffler? .

Any time a billiard ball gets into a draft its glands contract cold and cracks appear on its surface. Then it has to be tenderly nursed Or thefe is a funeral in the billiard world. The report from New York that the balls used in the championship games between Hoppe and Schaefer and Slos- son and Sutton Werte suffering in this way started several of the local billiard sharks fanning the other night. The balls used were made of the best of ivory. The owne?s had refused $10 apiece for them, but they now seem destined to see an early grave. The hundreds of spectators who sat through the recent matches, dripping with persptration, did not know that the hall was purposely kept at such 2 high temperature to protect the balls from cold. Every precaution was taken to prevent drafts in the hall, but even at that a little shiver of wind struck the table and the delicate balls immediate- ly began to bump. They became chilled and ‘lost. their elasticity. Both Schaefer and complained of this the first night. and Slosson raised a similar protest while he was being defeated by Sutton. Edward McLaughlin noticed the trou- ble with the balls while acting at ref- eree, but he does not attribute it to the draft so much as to the stone slab which rested under the cloth. Mr. Mc- Laughlin says the stone slab was put in the hall while cold and had no chance to thaw out before the match begin.

The officers of the Twenty-fifth ap- peared to be trying to find the criminais. Maj. Blocksom remarks, “It. is certainly unfortunate for the reputation of the battalion that they have as yet hardly discovered a single clew to such a ter- rible preconcerted crime, committed by so many men. I believe the battalion had an excellent reputation up to the 138th of August, but the stain now upon it is the worst I have ever seen in the army. nothing to do with the raid must know something as to identity of the crimi- nals. If they do not disclose their knowledge, they should be made to suf- fer with others more guilty, as far as the law will permit. ‘If satisfactory

evidence concerning Many of its old soldiers who had’! | identity of the criminals does not come from members of the battalion before a certain date to be fixed by the War Department, I recommend that all en- listed men of the three companies pres- ent on the night of Ags. 13. be dis- charged from the service and debarred from re-enlistment in the army, navy or marine corps.” 4 It was this recommendation in a more Sweeping form -vhich was subsequently submitted to the President by the In- spector-General and approved.

Though it was notcrious in the bat- talion that the men had been subjected to the closest application of the color line in Brewnsville and had been phy- sically attacked at various times, yet, to a man, they declared that they knew ot

The ence of such a feeling would have been but natural ahd a unanimous statement that It did not exist helped to convince the officers that an agreement to dis- claim it had been made.- When Cen. * Gertington iasned the President's ultimatum Vhat if the guilty ones were not giv up by the battalion ell would be disfionorably discharged, he charges that he did not hear a word in protest from the battalion, except. ing one member who had served % years and had imsisted that he krew nothing about the riot. “ The same evidence that convinced the investigators that the men were acting upon an ugreement also converted the President, who proclaimed that “be- cause they have appeared to stand to- gether in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty, they must stand together when the penalty falls."

NEED MORE RAILWAYS Government Official Replies to a Recent Statement of E. H. Harriman, Correspondence of : Daily News. Washington, D. C., Nov, 24.—Strong ex- ception to an interview given out by E. H, Harriman, the wizard of railroading, who recently, by securing the domination of the Illinois Central Railroad, completed the missing link of a plan for a coast-to- coast and lakes-to-gulf railroad system under one control, was taken here today by a man high in the councils of the government on railroad matters. In his interview Mr, Harriman was quoted as saying that the United States already has enough railroads and that the demands of the future are for a betterment of pres- ent systems rather than an increase in their number, ‘“‘Within the last seven years the rail- road traffic of the United States has doubled. Do you see anybody preparing for the increase which is bound to come within another ten years? I do not,’’ began this official. ‘‘I predict that within another ten years our traffic will double

Special The Chicago of Mr. Harriman is followed by himself and by other railroad men it will precipi- tate a business crisis in the United States such as the country has never before seen, ‘‘We have grown accustomed to leok upon our railroad system in the United States as the best in the world, As a matter of fact our trackage now ig in- sufficient to handle the business that goes over it and if any better evidence of this is wanted I need only point to the con- gested conditions on many roads, about which complaints are constantly made, and to the 84,000 killed and injured on ‘the railroads of the country last year. To propose putting on more cars on the tracks where this terrible holocaust occurred is absurd. The rails are now carrying more traffic than they can reasonably hold under the present rules and regulations and safety devices devised to make travel fure and safe, “It is absurd to say that-we do not need more trackage in this. direction and it is equally absurd to say that we do not need more transcontinental lines to develop and care for the great undeveloped West now crossed only at wide intervals by a direct line to the sea and to the markets. r.

How neglect may bring on kidney, heart, and other troubles through sympathy. I have not room to explain how these nerves may be reached and streng- thened and vitalized and made stronger by a remedy I spent years in perfecting—now known by physicians and Druggists everywhere as Pr. Shoop’s Restorative. (Tablets or Liquid.) I have not room to explain how this remedy, by removing the cause, usually puts a certain end to indigestion, belching, heartburn, insomnia, nervousness, dyspepsia. All of these things are fully explained tn the hook I will send you free when you write. Do not fail to send for the book. It tells how the solar plexus governs digestion and a hundred other things every one ought to know —for all of ns, at rome time or other have Indigestion. With the book I will send free my ‘‘Health Token'’—an intended passport to good health,

Be es a a a» Pe z _— — he Sofhern-Marlowe Engagement at the Garrick i Opens With ‘Jeanne d’Arc’”’ Tomorrow Night— | George M. Cohan in “‘George Washington Jr.” at the Olympic—Frank Daniels in ‘‘Sergeant Brue’’ g Century’s Offering—‘‘In Old Kentucky”’ at the Grand, ‘‘When Knighthood Was in Flower’’ A, seen strange to see Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe at the Gar- 4 an Independent playhouse, tomorrow evening, but something ever startiing will come Tuesday night, when Miss Marlowe as Salome her “Dance of the Seven Veils.” In this passionate performanc: ture of “John the Baptist,” following her chaste Jeanne dAre of evening, Miss Marlowe, whom none of us, I believe. ever anything less formal than a minuet, is said to be so wonderfully and alluring as to make the last acd, Of Sudermann’'s great biblical most epochally memorable from a spectacular point of view. S$ sounds distinctly interesting and promises to put Miss uch -in the spotlight as she casts off veil after veil in the course of nce, tempting, Herod to that point where her demand for the head of has Marlowe going public these days that we shouldn't be astonished by anything that’s a mnovesty to see Miss Marlowe doing this-Salome dance. / 8 portrayal of the Salome role that is said to be one of the keenest and be . _ dra atically most effective of Miss Marlowe's entire career. be a it follows ‘ of an answer to the cry and—well, it will certainly Jesides, the It isn't pment of Salome, under the sinister inspiration of the wicked Herodias, he possibilities of the play’s last act bids fair to attain a subtlety in acter treatment placing it far out of the common run. I must confess I look forward to it as one of the events of the season, both artistical- nd by virtue of its elements of the unexpected, esides, we're to see Mr. Sothern himself in a tremendously rugged role, t of John of the Wildérness, clad in his camel-skin coat, and I find my- f wondering what he'll do with it. It’s the chance of a lifetime. of urse, and Mr. Sothern, an artist to his finger tips, should be able to rise its demand of utter simplicity approaching majesty of treatment, but h#@’ll have to throw aside all the romantic equipment that has heretofore ben so invaluable as the chief factor of professional success. This is

ere the tug will come, -inevitably—and I'll lift my hat to Mr. Sothern if gives us a John the Baptist who fulfills one’s ideal of the character. The levement will prove more “than anything he has ever done heretofore I'm expecting great things of Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe in their ermann play, but it’s an expectation compelled by the play itself. As for Percy Mackaye's “Jeanne d’Arc,” with which the engagement ens, there we'll have a series of beautiful stage pictures with both these ayers at their temperamental best. I've just finished reading their acting ersion of the play. It seems to me that Mr. Sothern fits into the charac- Jer of the poetic, fiery and devoted D’Alencon with a supreme consistency, ind it will be a strpassingly magnetic character played along the fa- miliar Sothern lines... As for the Jeanne which Miss Marlowe is to play, I . venture to say .it's going to be a very human, lovable, brave-hearted and % us a moving realization of what must ut times pathetic Maid,. giving have been the real Jeanne in the flesh. Percy Mackaye is a good deal of a dramatic poet, and he has created rich opportunity for the presentation of just such a Martyr of Orleans as should be most natively congenial to the Marlowe soul. There's a delicate heart interest element in the story, “too, arising from the reverential love of D’Alencon for Jeanne, and several] of its situations are calculated to emphasize this beautiful romance in the tenderest spirit. I can't think of any other two who could handle such a phase of the story more acceptably than Mr, Sothern and Miss Marlowe. Hauptmann’s fairy drama, “The Sunken Bell,” and ‘Hamlet’ complete the repertoire to’-be offered by these players during their Qurrick engage- To the Olympic comes George M, Cohan in his new play, “George ment. Washington Jr...” a big Eastern success, and .| imagine we're in ‘for a typical Cohan week at this historic playhouse. It seems to be an | 4 here wan the Luna Park swiehdick railway.

éven pull, too, between Cohan and the Sothern-Marlowe offerings—the ad- vance sale for each having been almost unprecedentedly heavy. Frank Dan- be the Cen- jels in “Sergeant Brue,” his big success of last season, will tury’s offering. “In. Old Kentucky” will play its fourteenth annual en- fagement at the Grand, “When Knighthood Was in Flower” begins its week at the Imperial this afternoon, Havlin’s offers us “McFadden’s Flats,” new vaudeville comes tothe Columbia and extravaganza and specialty to other houses. I told you last Monday ‘how a sudden plot divergence of “The Duel,” in which Otis Skinner appeared at the Olympic, weakened the interest of its latter half, and I, believe this defect in dramatic construction {fs destined to prove fatal to Henri Lavedan’s play as a permanent contribution to dra- matic literature. It's a queer blunder for a French dramatist to make— they're usually so well grounded in the rudiments of their craft—but Tavedan makes it, al] the same, and the average playgoer ‘“‘senses” it in- tuitively, to the play’s ultimate cost. Mr. Skinner played the role of the Abbe Daniel with much impressiveness, failing of perfection only when he forgot, at certain moments, as I've already told you, that absolute sim- plicity was the keynote of the character. But it was memorable work on his part, returning him to his rightful line of character, the intense and. earnest, and I hope it will be followed by some stronger play in which Mr. Skinner shall receive thd@ full opportunity which his genius deserves. At the Century we saw ja very delightful comedy in “All-of-a-Sudden _ Peggy,’ which I've no doubt/ you enjoyed as much as I did, and Miss Hen- rietta Crosman gave us in the main a quite pleasing young Irish gentle- Woman in the title role. If she ts to continue portraying the high-class Irish line of characters, however, she must manage somehow to lose her low-class brogue, substituting for it the cultured Irish speech with which Bertha Galland and Mr. Sothern have made us familiar in “Sweet Kitty Bellairs” and “Capt. Lettarblair.” I pointed out this truth to Miss Cros- man in my Tuesday review, and I'd like to see her profit by it, because in ail other essentials her work is too acceptable to mar an otherwise entire- ly pleasing whole by a defect easily to be overcome. DeWolf Hopper in “Happyland” gives a farewell performance at the Gar- rick tonight, closing a most Successful week. Other playhouses did a good week's business with deserving attractions. - This afternoon the first Choral-Symphony popular concert of the season will be given at the Odeon. big house. + The occasion should be marked by a rousing i tat a es incinerate REFLECTIONS OF AN OLD PLAYGOER. = Julia Marlowe's playing of Jeanne d’Arc one night and Salome next surely entitles her to the religio-dramatic broad-jump championship. Maybe it was a prophetic foreknowledge of — being burlesqued by Frank Daniels that made old Omar Khayyam drink so hard. The fly in the ointment of Mansfleld’s ‘‘Peer Gynt’ success is that it has hurried so many Ibsen bores onto the lecture platform. Sothern’s hobby is said to be electricity—and it probably tickles him mightily to be called a dramatic “live wire.” Since playgoers like her so well in the part, of course Annie Russell as Puck doesn’t mean it when she says “What fools these mortals be!"’ Clyde Fitch's ambition to become a country squire along Angloma- niac lines is funnier than anything in his comedies. . | Blanche Walsh still played the star role of ‘The Case’’ when she got married the other day. That story of how a pet terrier howled mour ully when Dave War- field bade him good-by in “The Music Master,”’ 7 coin to make a dog ‘laugh. Does New York now term it cruelty to animals or lese maAjeste when Dave Montgomery in “The Réd Mill” calls his pet monkey “Caruso?” -Not until Leslie Carter is heard trom can it be safely said that Frances Starr's hjt tn Belasco’s new play brings all Gotham to her feet. Robert Edeson has established a “traveling school of acting’ for hig “Strongheart’ company, but I didn’t think it was as bad as that. -It's rumored that the Woman's Rights women intend protest against alleg@d unjust discrimination in the title of “The Daughters ef Men.”’ “ The public's relish of his “Spring Chicken” doubtless added to Rich- ard Carle's enjoyment of his Thanksgiving turkey.

HAT'S up?’ | “W - to his chief clerk. This from the manager’ of the Hotel —~ Room §&1?’’ “Something wrong in “Yes, sir. I've just sent for a detective. You were not to be found and the gentleman is des- perate. But very anxious to have it all kept quiet; véry anxious. I think we ean «lige him there; or, at least, we'll try. Am I right, sir?’’ “Of course, if’'— “Oh, it’s nothing criminal. The lady's missing, that’s all; ‘the lady whose name you see here.” The register lay open between them; the clerk's ‘finger, running along the column, rested about half- Way down. The manager beng over the page. “Robert J. Ransom and wife,’ he read out in de- cided astonishment. ‘‘Why they are’’—— “You're right. Married today in Grace Church. A great wedding; the papers are full of it. Well, she’s the lady. They registered here a few minutes before 5 o’clock and in 10 minutes ‘he bride was missing. It’s a queer story Mr. Ransom tells. You'd better hear it. Ah, there’s our man! Perhaps you'll go up with him.” “You may bet your last dollar:on that,’ muttered the manager. And joining the newcomer, he made a significant gesture which was all that’ passed ‘between them till they stepped out on the second floor. “Wanted in Room 81?" the manager now asked. “Yes, by a man named Ransom. “Just so. Thet's the door. Knock—or, rather, [ll knock, for Ll must hear this story as soon as you do, The reputation of the hotel’’— “Yes; yes, but the gentleman's waiting. better.” The manager had just knocked. An exclamation from within, a hurried step, and the door ell open. The figure which met their eyes was startling. Distress, anxiety, and an impatience -almost verging on frenzy, distorted features amiable if not handsome. “My wife,” fell in a gasp from his writhing lips. “We have come to help you find her,’’ Mr. Gerridge mcalmly assured him. Mr. Gerridge was the detec- ' we. “Relate the circumstances, sir. Tell us where you were when you first missed her.”’ Mr. Ransom’'s glance we. jdered past him to the door. It was partly open. The manager, whose name was Lwurimis, hastily closed it. Mr. Ransom showed relief and hurried into his story. It was to this effect: “I was married today in Grace Church. At the’ altar my bride—you probably know cer name, Miss Georgian Hazen—wore a natural look, and was in all respects, so far as anyone could see, a happy wom- an, satisfied with. her choice and pleased with the eclat and elegancies of the occasion. Half-way down the aisle this all changed. I remember the instant perfectiv. Her hand was on my arm and I felt it suddenly stiffen. I was not alarmed, but I gave her a quick look and saw that something had happened. What, I could not at the moment determine. She didn't answer when I spoke to her and seemed to be mainly concerned in getting out of the church e- fore her emotions overcame her. in doing, with my help; and, once in the vestibule, cover’d herself so completely, and met all my in- quiries with such a gay shrug of the shoulders, that I should have passed the matter over as a mere at- tack of nerves, had I not later detected tn her face, through all the hurry and excitement of the ensuing reception, a strained expression not at all natural to her. This was still more evident after the con- gratulations of a certain guest, who, I am sure, Whispered to her before he passed on; and when the time came for her to go upstairs she was so pale and unlike herself that I became. seriously alarmed and asked if she félt well enough to start upon the journey we had meditated... Instantly her manner changed. She turned upon me with a look I have been trying ever since to explain to myselr, and begged me not to take her out of town tonight but to some quiet hotel whefe we might rest for a few days before starting on our travels. She 1l->ked me squarely in the eye as she made this request and, seeing in her nothing more than a feverish anxiety lest I should make difficulties of some kind, I prom- ised to do what she asked and bade her run away and get herself ready to go and say nothing to anyone of our change of plan. She smiled and turned away towards her own room, but presently came hurrying back*to ask if I would grant her one more favor. @ Would I be so good as not to speak to her or expect " her to speak to me till we'got to the hotel; she was ' feeling very nervous, but was sure that a few min- - utes of complete rest would entirely restore her; ' something had occurred (she acknowledged this) ' Which she wanted to think out; weuldn’t I grant her this one opportunity of doing so’? “It was a startling request, but she looked so lovely~—pardon me, I must explain my easy: acquiescence—that I gave her the _@ssurance she wished and went about my own prep- arations, somewhat disconcerted, but still not at all Prepared for what happened afterward, I had abso- lutely no idea that she meant to leave me.”’ Mr. Ransom paused, greatly affected; but upon the detective asking Him how and when Mrs. Ransom had deserted him, he controlled himself sufficiently to say: “Here; immeaiately after that silent and unnatural ride. She entered the office with me and was stand- ing close at my side all the time I was writing. our names in the register; but later, when I turned to ask her to enter the elevator with me, she was gone, and the boy who was standing by with our two bags sald that she had slipped into the reception room across the hall. ; ary of the adjoining rooms. Nor has anybody since succeeded in finding her. She has left the building— left me, and'’'—— ‘“You want her back again?’ This from the detective, but very dryly. “Yes. For she was not following her own inclina- tions in thus abandoning me so soon after the words which made us one were spoken. Some influence was : & brought to bear on her which she felt unable to re- “ist. I have confidence enough in her to believe i that. The rest is mystery—a mystery which I am _ fereed to ask you to untangle. I have neither the _ fecessary calmness nor experience myself.” “* “But you surely have. done .something,” protested » Gerridge “Telephoned to her late home or’— * | “Oh, yes; I have done all that, but with no result. ' Bhe has not returned to her old home. Her uncle | has just been here and he is as much mystified by * the whole occurrence ag I am. He could tell’ me » nothing, absolutely nothing.”’ agen Indeed! and the man, the one who whispered to ~ her during the reception, couldn't you learn any- “Sthing about him?" K . Ransom's face took on an expression almost ie ious, ~ “No, He's a stranger to Mr. Fulton: yet Mr. Ful- ton’s niece introduced him to me as a relative.” “A relative? Wheh was that?” : ao , Ah! that’s | plainly.” This she succeeded } — December. eh ™ 2 “At the reception. He was introduced as wmr. Hazen (my wife’s maiden name, you know), and when I saw how his presence disturbed her, I said to her, ‘A cousin of yours?’ and she answered with very evident embarrassment, ‘A relative’—which you must acknowledge didn't locate him very definitely. Mr. Fulton doesn’t know of any such relative. And I don’t believe he is a relative. He didn't sit with the rest -f the family in the church.” “Ah! you saw him in the church?” “Yes. I noticed him for two reasons. First, be- cause he occupied an end seat and so came directly under my eye in our passage down the aisle. Sec- ondly, because his face, of all those which confronted me when I looked for the cause of her sudden agita- tion, was the only one not turned towards her in curiosity or interest. His eyes vere fixed and vacant; his only. That made him conspicuous, and when I saw him again I knew him.” “Describe the man.’”’ Mr. Ransom’'s face Hghtened up with an expression of strong satisfaction. ‘“T am going to astonish you,’’ said he. ‘‘'The fellow is so plain that children must cry at him. He has suffered some injury and hig mouth and jaw have such a twist in them that the whole face ‘; thrown ont of shape. So you see,” continued the unhappy bridegroom, as his eyes flashed from the detective’s face to that of the manager's, “that the influence he exerts over my wife is not that of love. No one could love him. The secret’s of another kind. What kind, what, what, what? Find out and I'll pay you any amount you csk. She is too dear and of too sensi- tive a temperament to be subject to a wretch of his appearance, I! cannot bear the thought. It stifles, it chokes me; and yet for three hours I've endured it. Three hours! and with no prospect of release unless you"’—— “Oh, I'll do something,’ was Gerridge’s bland re- ply. ‘‘But first I must have a few more facts. A man such as you describe should be easy to find; easier than the lady. Is he a tall man?’ “Unusually so.’’ Ddrk or light?” *‘Dark.”’ “Any beard?” “None. That’s why the injury to his jaw shows so “T se@ Is he what you would ¢all a gentleman?’ “Yes, I must acknowledge that. He shows the manners. of good society, if he did whispef words into my wife’s ear which were not meant for mine.” ‘And Mr. Fulton knows noth.~~ of him?” ‘‘Nothing.”’ “Well, we'll drop him for the present. photograph of your wife?’’ “Her picture was in all the papers tonight.”’ “T noticed. But can we go by it? Does it resemble her?” “Only fairly. She is far prettier. My wife is some- thing uncommon. No picture ever does her juStice.’’ “She looks like a dark beauty. Is her hair black or brown?’ “Black. £0 black it has purple shades in it.” “And her eyes? Black too?’’ ‘No, gray. A deep gray, whith look black. owing to her long lashes.’’ “Very good. Now about her dress. Describe it as minutely as you can. It was a bride’s traveling cos- tume, I suppose.’’ “Yes. Th... is,-I presume so. I know that it was all right} and suitable to the occasion, but I don't acuaard much about it. I was thinking too much You have a of the woman ir the gown to notice the gown itself.’’ “Cannot you tell the golor?’ “It was a dark one. I’m. sure it was a dark one, but colofs are not much in my line. I know she looked well—they can tell you about it at the house. All that I distinctly, remember is the veil she had wound so tightly around her face and hat to keep the rice out of her hair that I could not get one glimpse But I didn’t find her there or in of her features. All nonsense, that veil, especially when I had promised not to address her or even to touch her in the cab. -And she wore it into the office. If it had not been for that I might have foreseen her intention in time to prevent it.” ‘Perhaps she knew that.” ‘Tt looks as if she did.’’ ‘Which means that she was meditating flight from the first.”’ “From the time she saw that, man,” Mr. Ransom ~ +9 y corrected. “Just so; from the time she left her uncle’s house. You: wife is a woman of means, I believe.”’ “Yes, unfortunately.”’ “Why unfortunately?” “It makes her independent’ and offers a lure to irresponsible wretches like him.”’ “Her fortune is large, then?’ “Very large; larger than my 0o- Everyone knew Mr. Ransom to be a millionaire. ‘“‘Left her by her father?'? ‘“‘No, by some great-uncle, I believe, who made his fortune in the Klondike.”’ “And entirely under her own control?’ “Entirely so.”’ “Who is her man of business?’ “Edward Harper of —— Wall street.’’ | “He's your man. He'll know sooner or later where she {s.’’ “Yes, but later won’t do. I must know tonight: or, if that is impossible, tomorrow. Were it not for the mortificatior it would cause her I should beg you %* bride of five hours. But such publicity is too shock- ing. I should like to give her a day to reconsider her treatment of me. She cannot mean to leave me for good. She has too much self-respect; to say nothing of her very positive and not to be questioned affection for myself."’ The detective look d thoughtful. its difficu...es. “Are those hers?” he asked at last, pc'nting to the two trunks he saw standing against the wall. “Yes. I had them brought up, in the hope that she had slipped away on some foolish errand or other and would yet come back.” “By their heft I judge them to be full: how about her handbag?”’ “She had only a small bag and an umbrella. They are both here.”’ “How's that?’ “The colored boy took therm at the door. away with nothin itn her hands. Gerridge glanced at the bag Mr. Ransom had point- ed out, fingered it, then asked the young husband to open it. He did so. The usual articles and indispensable adjuncts of a nice woman's toilet met their eyes Also a pocketbook containing considerable money and a case holding more than one val: -ble jewel. The eyes of the officer and manager met in {ll-@ig- guised alarm. “She must nave been under the most violent ex- citement to slip away without these,” suggested the former. “I'd better be at work. Give me two hours,”’ were his parting words to Mr. Ransom. “By that time I'll either be back or telephone you. You had better stay here; she may return. Though I don't think that Hkely, he muttered as he passed the manager. At the door he stopped. color of that veil?" “No,”’ The problem had “You can't tell me the to put on all your force and ransack the city for this She went “Look about the room, sir, There's lots of colors | tsizes too small for her. \' | | i) th i in the furniture and hangings. Don't you see one somewhere that reminds you of her veil or even of her dress?’ The miserable bridegroom looked up from the bag, into which he was still staring, and, glancing slowly around him, finally pointed at a chair upholstered in brown and impulsively said: “The veil was like that; I remember now. isn’t it? a dark brown?’ “Yes. And thc dress?’ ‘“T can’t tell you a thing about the dress. gloves—I remember something about them. They were tight they gaped open at the wrist... Her hands looked: quite disfigured.

He aescribed with apparent accuracy both the color and cut of the garments worr by the lady who had flitted away so mysteriously. The form- er was brown, all brown; and the latter was of the tailor made variety, very natty and ,becoming. ““‘What you would call ‘swell,’’’ was the comment, “if her walk hadn’t spoiled the hang of it. did walk!

She was behind him, and she walked like this.” ‘ The pantomime was highly expressive. “That’s a point,’’ muttered Gerridge. Then, with a sharp look at the boy: ‘“‘Where were you that you didn’t notice her when she slipped off?” “Oh, but I did, sir. I was waiting for the clerk to give me the key, when I saw her step back from the gentleman's side and, looking quickly round to see if anyone was noticing her, slide off into the reception room. I thought she wanted a drink of water out of the pitcher on the center table, but if she did, she didn’t come back after she had got it. None ever saw her again.” “Did you follow Mr. through those !.oms?” “No, sir; I stayed in the hall.” “Did the lady hobble when she slid thus mysterious- Ransom when he walkéd ly out of sight?’ “a little. Not so much as when she came in. But ghe wasn't at her ease, sir. Her shoes were certainly too small.”’ “J think I will take a peep at those rooms now,” Gerridge remarked to the manager. 7 Mr. Loomis bowed, and together they crossed the offiec to the reception room door, There are three of them in the suite, all re- ception-rooms. Mr, Ransom had passed through them all in looking for his wife. In No. 1 he found several ladies sitting and standing, all ‘strangers, He encountered no one in No. 2, and in No, 3 just one person, a lady in street costume evidently wait- ing for some one. To this lady he had addressed himself, asking if she had seen any One pass that way the moment before. Her reply was a decided “No;” that she had been waiting in that same room for several minutes and had seen no one, Whis stag- gered him. It was as if his wife had‘dissolved into thin air. True, she might have eluded him by slip- ping out into the hall by means of door two at the moment he entered door one; and alert to this possi- bility, he hastened back into the hall to look for her. But she was nowhere visible, nor had she been Ob- served leaving the building by the man Stationed at entrance A. But there was another exit, that of B. Had she gone out that way? Mr. Ransom had taken pains to Inquire and had been assured by the man in Charge that no lady had left by that door during the last ten minutes. This he had insisted on, : ‘and wken Mr. Loomis and the detective came in their e HIE LEG ‘‘Read the Paper Tonight and Forget the Stranger of St. Denis.’’ turn to question him on this point he insisted on it again. The mystery seemed complete—at least to the manager. But the detective was not quite satis- fied. He asked the man if at any time that day, be- fore or after Mrs. Ransom's disappearance, he had swung the door open for a lady who walked lame. The answer was decisive. ‘‘Yes; one who walked as if her shoes were tight.’’ “When?” “Oh a little while after the gentlemah asked his questions.”’ ! “Was she dressed in brown?’ P That he didn’t know. He didn't look at ladies’ dresses unless they were something special. “But she walked lame and she came from Room 3?” Yes. Hie remembered that much, Gerridge, with a nad to the manager, stepped into the open compartment of the whirling door. I’m off,’”’ said he. “Expect to hear from me in two hours.”’ At twenty minutes to ten Mr. Ransom was called up on the telephone. “One question, Mr. Ransom. ‘Hello, who are you?” “Gerridge.”’ “All right, go ahead.”’ “Did you see the face of the woman you spoke to in Room No. 3?” “Of course. She was looking directly at me.”’ “You remember it? Could identify it if you saw it again?’ ‘Yes: that is’? —— ‘That's all, good-by.”’ of us: | The circuit was cut off. Another intolerable wait. Then there came a knock on the door and Gerridge entered. He held a photograph in his hand which he: had evidently taken from his pocket on his way up. “Look at this,’’ said he. “‘Do you recognize the face?’’ “The lady’—— “Just so; the one who said she had seen no one come into No. 3 on the first floor.’’ Mr. Ransom’s expression of surprised inquiry was sufficient answer. “Well, its a pity you didn’t look at her gloves in- stead of at her face. You might have had some dim idea of having seen them before. It was she who rode to the hotel with you; not your wife. The veil was wound around her face for a far deeper purpose than to ward off rice.’ Mr. Ransom staggered back against the table be- fore which he had-been standing. The blow was an overwhelming one. “Who is this woman?" he demanded. “She came from Mr. Fulton’s house. More than that, from my wife’s room. What is her name and what did she mean by such an outrage?’ ‘Her name is Bella Burton, and she is your wife's confidential maid. Asa. for the meaning of this out- rage, it will take more than two hours to ferret out that. I can only give you the single fact I've men- tioned.”’ “And Mrs. Ransom?’ “She left the house at the same moment you did; you and Miss Burton. Only she went by the base- ment door.” “She? She?” “Dressed in her maid’s clothes Oh, to hear worse things than that before we're out of this muddle. If you won't mind a bit of advice from a man of experience, I would suggest that you take things easy. It's the only way.’’ Shocked into silence by this cold-blooded philoso- phy, Mr. Ransom controlled both his anger and his humiliation; but he could not control his surprise. “What does it mean?” he murmured to himself. “What does at all mean?’ you'll nave CHAPTER IIL “HE KNOWS THE WORD.” 4 ler next moment the doubt natural to the occasion asserted itself. “How do you know all this? You state the impossible. Explain yourself.” Gerridge was only too willing to do 89. “I have just come from Mr. Fulton's house, he. ‘Inquiries there elicited the facts which have so startled you. Neither Mr. Fulton nor his wife meant to deceive you, They knew nothing, suspect- ed nothing of what took’ place, and you have no cause to blame them.

This made the substitution I Nave men- tioned feasible, and when I was told that she was seen taking her hat and bonnet into the bride’s room, and, though not expected to leave till the next morn- ing, had slid away from the house by the basement door at the same moment her mistress appeared on the front steps, my suspicions became so confirmed that I asked how this girl looked, in the hope that you would be able to recognize her, through the description, as the woman you had seen sitting in reception room No. 3. But to my surprise, Mrs. Ful- ton had what was better than any description, the girl's picture. This has simplified matters very much. By it you have been able to identify the woman who attempted to mislead. you in the re- ;cepton room, and I the person who rode here with you from Mr. Fulton's house. Wasn't she dressed in brown?

But that dress was brown; I'm sure of it. She was the very woman. Otherwise the mystery is impenetrable, A deep plot, Mr. Kan- som; one that should prove to you that Mrs. Ran- som'’s motive in leaving you was of a very serious character. Do you wish that motive probed te the bottom? I cannot do it without publicity. Are you willing to incur that publicity?’ ‘I must.” Mr.. Ransom had risen in great excite- ment. ‘‘Nothing can hide the fact that my bride left me on our wedding day. It only remains now to show that she did it under an influence which rob- bed her of her own will; an influence from which ske shrank even while succumbing to it. I can show her no greater kindness, and I am not afraid of the result. I have perfect confidence in her integrity’’— he hesitated; then added with strong conviction— “and in her love.’ The detective hid his surprise. He could not un- derstand this confidence. But then he knew nothing of the memories which lay back of it. Not to him could this grievously humiliated and di$appointed man reveal the secrets of a courtship which had fixed his-heart on this One woman, and aroused in him such trust that even this uncalled-for outrage to his pride and affection had not been able to shake it. Such secrets are sacred; but the reflection of his trust was strong on his face as he repeated: “Perfect confidence, Mr. Gerridge. Whatever may Have drawn Mrs. Ransom from my side, it Was not lack of affection, or any doubt of my sincerity or un- divided attachment to herself.’’ The detective may not have been entirely con- vinced on the first point, but he was discretion it- and responded quite cheerfully with @n ¢m- b. self, phatic: . “Very well. You still want me to find her. I will do my best, sir. but first, cannot you help me with a suggestion or two?’ “yor “There must be some clew to so sudden a freak on the part of a young and beautiful woman, who, | have taken pains to learn, has not only a clean rec- ord but a reputation for good sense.

But I doubt if we d@ tonight unless she has rejoined her maid or the man with 4& scar. Somehow I think she will join the girl. But it’s hard to tell yet.” , Mr. Ransom could hardly control his impatience. “And I must sit helpless here!’ he exclaimed. “I who have so much at stake!” — : The detective evidently thought the occasion called for whatever comfort it was in his power to be- stow. ) “Yes,” said he. “For it is here she will seek you if she takes a notion to return. But woman is an uncertain quantity,” he dryly added,* At that moment the telephone bell rang. Mr. Ran- som leaped to answer; but the call was only an anxious one from the Fultons, who wanted to know what news. He answered as best he could, and was recrossing disconsolately to his chair when voices * rose in the hall, and a man was ushered in, whom Gerridge immediately introduced as Mr. Sims. A runner—and with news! Mr. Ransom, summon- ing up his courage, waited for thé inevitable ques tion and reply. They came quickly enough. “What have you got? Have you ‘founa the man?” “Yes. And the lady's been to see him; that. is, if the description of her togs was correct.”’ “He means Mrs. Ransom,” explained Gerridge. Then, as he marked his client's struggle for com- posure, he quietly asked. “A lady in a dark green suit with yellowish furs and a blue veil ovef her hat?” “That's the ticket!’’ “The clothes worn by the woman who went out of the basement door, Mr. Ransom,” The latter turned sharply aside. The shame of the thing was becoming intolerable. “And this woman wearing those yellow furs and the blue veil visited the man of the broken jaw?’ inquired Gerridge. “Yes, str.” “When?’’ “About six this afternoon.” “And where?’ “At the Hotel St. Denis, where I have since tracked him.” “How long did she stay? “About an hour.” . “In the parlor or’ — “In the ‘parlor. They had a great deal to say. -More than one noticed them, but no one heard any- thing. Thty talked very low but they meant busi- ness.”’ “Where is this man now?’ “At the same place. He has engaged a room there.”’ “The man with the twisted jaw?” “Yes.” “Under “Hugh Porter.’’ “Ah, it was Hazen only five hours ago,’ muttered. Ransom. ‘‘Porter, did you say? I'll have a talk with this Porter at once.”’ “I think not tohight,”’ put In the detective, with the mingled authority and deference natural to one of his kind. ‘‘Tomorrow, perhaps, but tonight it would only provoke scandal.’’ # This was certainly true, but Mr. Ransom was not an easy man to dominate. “I must see him before I sleep,” he insisted. “A single word may solve this mystery. He has. the word. I'd be a fool to lét the night go by—Ah! © what's that?’ The telephone bell had rung again. A message from the office this time. A note had just been handed in for Mr. Ransom; should they send it up? Gerridge was at the phone. ‘ “Instantly,”” he shouted down, “and be sure you hold the messenger. It may be from your lady,” he remarked to Mr. Ransom. “Stranger things than that have happened.”’ Mr. Ransom reeled to the door, opened it and stood waiting. The two detectives exchanged glances. What might not that note contain! Mr. Ransom opened it in the hall. When he came back into the room, his hand was shaking and his face looked drawn and pale. But he showed no fur- ther disposition to go out. Instead, he sank into a chair, with a motion of dismissal to the two de- tectives. “Question the boy who brought this,” said he, “It is from Mrs. Ransom; written, as you see, at the — St. Denis. She bids me farewell for a time, but does not favor me with any explanations... She cannot do differently, she says, and asks me to trust her and wait. Not very encouraging to sleep on; but it's something. She has not entirely forsaken me.” Gerridge with a shrug turned sharply towards the door. “I take it that you wouldn't object-to knowing all the messenger can tell you?” “No, no. Question him, Find ,out whether she gave this to him with her own hand.” Gerridge obeyed this injunction, but was told {n reply that the note had been given him to deliver by a clerk in the hotel lobby. He could tell nothing about the lady. This was unsatisfactory enough; but the man who had influenced her to this step had been placed under surveillance. Tomorrow they would question him: the mystery was not without a promise of solution. So Gerridge felt; but not Mr. Ransom; for at the end of the lines whose purport he had just commun!i- cated to the detective were these few, significent words: | ‘Make no move to find me. If you love me well enough to wait in silence for developments, happi- ness may yet be ours.”’ (Lim Bri ped ite “TE Te ae * what name?’ CHAPTER IV MR. RANSOM WAITS. ERRIDGE rose early, primed, as he said to G himself, for business. But to his great dis- appointment he found Mr. Ransom in a frame of mind which precluded action.

When he looked up again, the detec- tive perceived that the affair was hopeless 30 far as he was concerned. ‘‘No,” he repeated, this time with unmistakable emphasis, “she has always appeared buoyant and untrammeled. But then I have only known her six months.” , “Tell me her history so far as you know it. What do you know of her life previous to your meetiss her?” “It was a very simple one.

He interests me and I hope that none of his movements will escape you. But I'm not ready to talk to him. I prefer to wait a little; to give my wife a chance. I should feel better, and have teas to forget.” “Just as you say,” returned the detective stifffy. “He's under our thumb at present, I can't tell when he may wriggle out.” “Not while your eye’s on him. And your eye won't leave him as long as you have confidence in the reward I've promised you.” “Perhaps not; but you take the life out of me. Last night you were too hot; this morning you are too cold. But it’s not for me to complain. You know where to find me when you want me." And without more ado the detective went out.

This act, for which nothing in her previous conduct has in any Way prepared her friends, is now said to have been due fo the shock of hearing, some time during her that a sister whom had supposed dead was really alive and in circumstances of al- most degrading poverty.

Confused, and in a 8state of frenzy, Mr. Ransom returned to the hotel and sought refuge in his own room.

Then he caught it up again and looked care- It was his wife's without doubt. Then he studied the rest of the writing’ and compared it with that of the note which had. been thrust into his hands earlier in the day. There was no difference between them except that there were @vidences of faltering itn the latter, not noticeable in the earlier communication. As he noted these tokens of weakness or suffering, he caught up the telephone receiver in good earnest and called out Gerridge’s number.

Instead of increasing his anger, the detective had naturally expected, it appeared to-have the contrary effect, for every ves- tige of passion immediately disappeared from his face, leaving only its natural disfigurement to plead against him.

' ‘“T have reason to think,’’ proceeded Mr. Ransom, “that the unhappy termination of that day's felici- ties were in the measure due to you. You seem to know my bride very well; much too well for her hap- piness or mine,”’ “We will argue the unmoved reply. to a conversation truning upon them when they of. his small but not uncomfortable apartment, will be kind enowgh to repeat what you just I wish to thoroughly understand you.”’ “You have the right,’’ returned Mr. Ransom, con- trolling himself under the detective’s eye. ‘I said that your presence at this wedding seemed to dist turb my wife, which fact, considering the after oc- currences of the day, strikes me -as important enough for discussion. Are you willing to discuss it affably and fairly?’ “May I ask who your companion is?’ inquired the other, with a slight inclination towards Gerridge. “A friend; one who is in my confidence.” “Then I will answer you without any further hesi- tation. My presence may have disturbed your wife, it very likely did, but I was not to. blame for that. No man is to blame for the bad effects of an un- fortunate accident.’ “Oh, I don’t mean that,” Mr, Ransom hi: istened to protest. “The cause of her very evident agitation was not personal. It had a deeper root than that. it led, or so I believe, to her flight from a love she cherished, at a moment when our mutual life ppneee about to begin.” The tmpassive, I might almost say set features of this man of violent paSsions but remarkable self- restraint failed to relax or give any token of the feelings with which he listened to this attack. “Then the news given of your wife in the papers tonight is false,’’ was his quiet retort. ‘It professes to give a distinct, if somewhat fantastic, reason for her flight. A reason totally different from the one you suggest.” “A reason you don't believe in?” “Certainly not. It is too bizarre.’’ “T share your ineredulity. That is why I seek the truth from you rather than from the columns of a newspaper. And you OWe me this truth. You have broken up my life.” “I?

When she left, She Was as much lost to me as she was to you, and I am no less interested in finding her than you are yourself. ! had no idea she did- not mean to return to you when she went away from this hotel.’”’ Mr. Ransom sprang upright in an agitation the other may have shared, but of which he gave no token. “Do you not tell me where now ?’’ “No more than you Gan give me the Same neces- sary information in regard to your wife. I am wait- ing like yourself to hear from her—and waiting with as little hope.” asked, “‘that you can- you call your sister is he woman mean to say,’’ the

Had he seen Ransom’s hand close convulsively over the pocket in which her few strange words to him were lying, that a slight tinge of sarcasm -gave edge to the last four words? ut this is not like my wife,’’ protested ‘Ransom, hesitating to accuse the other of falsehood, yet evi- dently doubting him from the bottom of his heart. “Why deceive us both? She was never a disin- genuous woman.”’ “In childhood she had her incomprehensible mo- ments,’’ observed Hazen, with an ambiguous life of his shoulders; then, as Ransom made an impatient move, added with steady composure: “TI have can- didly answered all your questions whether agreeable or otherwise, and the fact that I am as much shocked as yourself by these mad and totally in- credible statements of hers about a newly-recovered sister should prove to you that she is not following any lead of mine in this dissemination of a bare- faced falsehood.” There was truth in this which both Mr. Ransom and Gerridge felt obliged to own. Yet they were not sat- isfied, even after Mr. Hazen, almost against Mr. Ransom's will, had established his claims tothe re- lationship he professed, by various well-attested documents he had at hand. Instinct could not be juggled with, nor could Ransom help feeling that the mystery in which he found himself entangled had been deepened rather than dispelled by the con- fidences of his new. brother-in-law. “The maze is at its thickest,’ he remarked as he left a few minutes later with the, perplexed Gerridge. “How shall I settle this new question? By what means and through whose aid can I gain an inter- view with my wife?’ T “Hunt up her man of business and see what he ean do for you, She cannot get along without money; nor could that state ment of hers have got into the papers without somebody's assistance, Since she did not get it from the fe llow we have just left, & CHAPTER VI. THE LAWYER. \ HE answer was an unexpectedly sensible one. ny } “She signed her marred name, promising to notify. she must have had it from the only other person she _ would dare confide in.” Ransom answered bY immediately hailing a down- town car. The interview which followed Was certainly a re- markable one. At first Mr. Harper would say noth- ing, declaring that. his relations with Mrs. Ransom were of a purely business and confiaentia} nature. But by degrees, moved by the persuasive influence of Mr. Ransom’s candor and his indubitable right to consideration, he allowed himself to admit that he . had seen Yrs. Ransom during the last three days ‘and that he had every reason to believe that there ‘was a twin sister in the case and that all Mrs. Ran- conduet) Was attributable to this som's eccentric | which made isself felt through al) his selt-restraint |fact and the over gowee sense of bce fur sgn | |

Mr. Ransom recalled the tenor of her strange let- ter on this subject, but was not convinced. He in- quired of Mr. Harper if he had heard her say any- thing about the equally astounding fact of a re- turned brother, and when he found that this was mere jargon to Mr. Harper, he related what he knew of Hazen and left the lawyer to draw hig own in- ferences. show of embarrassment on It was evident that in her consultations with him she had entirely left out all qllusion to this brother. Either the man had ad- vanced a false claim or else she was in an irrespon- sible condition of mind which made her see.a sister where there was a brother. The result was, some the part of Mr. Harper. Ransom made some remerk indicative of his appre- ciation of the dilemma in which they found them- selves, but was quickly silenced by the other’s em- pRatic . assertion: “I have seen the girl; she was with Mrs. Ransom the day she came here. She-sat in the adjoining room while we talked over her case in this oné."’ “You saw her—saw her face?’ . “No, not her face; she was too heavily veiled for that. Mrs. Ransom explained why.

He understood the hint implied and for an instant appeared to waver. There was something very Ransom; some attribute or expression which appealed especially to men. “Il wish I might help gow out of your 4ifficulty,” said he. “But a client's wishes are paramount. Mrs. Ransom desired secrecy. She had every right to de- mand it of me.’’ Mr. Ransom’s face fell. Hope had flashed upon him only to disappear again. The lawyer eyed him corner of his eye, his mouth working slightly as he walked to and fro between his desk and the door. “Mrs. Ransom. will not always feel herself ham- pered by a sister, or if you prefer it, a brother who has so inconvg@iently come back from’ the dead. You will have thd@ pleasure of her society some day.

Mr. Ransom and Gerridge with- drew. At the foot of the stairs they were stopped by the shout of a small boy behind them. “Say, mister, did you drop something?’ he called down, coming meanwhile as rapidly after them as t.¢ steepness of the flight allowed. “Mr. Harper says, he found this where you gentlemen were sitting.” Mr. Ransom, somewhat startled, took the smal! paper offered him. he held to it just the-same. Ir the middle of a torn bit of paper he had read these words written in his own wife's hand: HUNTER'S TAVERN, Sitford, Connecticut.

The marriage was Opposed by John Burnette, brother to the bride; her sis- ter, Mrs. H. M. Ward, and other rela- tives by blood and marriage. The cere- mony was said at the residence of the bride by the Rev. W. L. Ladrone. No relatives were present, and the news comes as a surprise. The bridegroom is a clerk in the Cleve- land Hardware Co., which was founded by his wife's first husband, W. H.

~—CHOOSESENATORS 8 THEIR PLAN Representatives of 380 States Meet at Des Moines Wednes- day to Urge It. a ee ee ee “GHANGE CONSTITUTION” oe ee ae eee They Propose to Make Compul- sory This Method of Nam- ing Officials, SUCCESS SEEMS CERTAIN Gov, Cummins Issued Call for the Convention Under Spe- cial Legislative Authority,

,DES MOINES, fo., Dec. 1. HPRESENTATIVES of 30 States R will meet in the lowa State capitol next Wednesday, to discuss ways and means to bring about the popular election of United States Senators. The meeting jis to be held on the invi- tation of Gov. Cummins, who has the authority of a joint resolution adopted *by the Iowa: Legislature at its last ses- sion, and a piank in the platform of the last Republican State Convention, which pledges it to “an expression of party preference. in the “selection of United States Senators.”’ | . The governors of the following.States have appointed delegates to the conven- tion: Cadifornia, Colorado, Illinois, In- diana, lowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisi- ana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, Wvyoming, Georgia, @ North Dakota,, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. Gov. Cobb of Maine and Goy. Guild of Massachusetts have replied that they have no authority under the law to ap- point delegates. Many of the accepting governors have pledged their hearty Support. Gov. Hanly of Indiana has personally expressed to Senator L. W. “Hewis, author of the resolutién in the Iowa Legislature, his approval, pledging hearty co-dyperation. Object of the The object of. this tion {ts officially set effort to effect the crystallization of public sentiment; to afford an oppor- tunity for consultation; to devise plans for co-operation between the States, and, if deemed advisable, take steps to secure a_permanent organization for the promotion of a movement looking to the Glection of United States Senators by direct vote of the people.’’ To bring about this change the Fed- eral Constitution must be amended. On application of two-thirds of the States a constitutional convention . must be called by Congress; three-fourths of the States must ratify thet amendment adopted by this comvention§ before it can become a part of the Constitution. This means that 34 must ratify the pro- posed amendment. Should all of the States which have appointed delegates to the Des Moines conyention agree to petition Congress to call a constitutional convention the number -would be sufficient, although insufficient to ratify the amendment which the constitutional convention might agree upon. Friends of the movement, however, point hopefully, to the fact that four States not included among the above 30 are officially on record as favoring the amendment, while three others now elect’ their United States Senators at direct pri- mary elections, giving the gmovement virtually the strength of 37 States, three more than enough to ratify. tNe pro- posed amendment. States Where People Express Choice. An important fact to be remembered in connection with the movement is that no less than 15 states now have senatorial candidates voted for> at elections, the people's action being Rubsequently ratified by the Legis- lature, which has little or no voice in the matter. The list includes Ne- braska, Alabama, [llinols, Michigan, Oregon, Virginia, South Carolina, | slLouisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Washington, Seuth Dakota and Minnesota. Three of these states—Alabama, Ar- kansas and South Carolina—have not answered Iowa's inyitation to send delegates to the Des Moines conven- tion, Of the number, Oregon has the smoothest working and most satisfac- ‘tory system. The new election law _ provides that each party shall nomi- nate its candidates at the primary’ election. The names of these cand- dates then go upon the State ti@ket and are voted for at the general elec- tion. The senatorial candidate receiv- ing the plurality is proclaimed the ehotce of the people. The. matter is now up to the Legislature. tnder the new law the people in nominating candidates for the Legis- lature may require them to sign a pledge to-vote for that candidate for the United States Senate who has re- eelved the highest nunrber of the peo- ple’s votes for that position at the general election next preceding. Tiow It Works In Oregon. It is of interest to note, in passing, that at the last general election § Mr. Kourne, the Republican senatorial can- didate, was victorious over Mr. Gearin, the Democratic candidate, by a plurality of less than 3200. The Oregon Legislature eonsists of 88 Republicans and seven Democrats. Had the 3200 plurality of the Republican candidate for the Senate been overcome and the Democratic can- didate been victorious, would a majority of the Republicans have put party loy- ality behind them and obeyed the will of the people to the extent of sending a Democrat to the Senate? The question remains unanswered.~ Alabama is another State which allows the electors to choose their senatoria! representatives. At Une recent primary not only were two senators selected, but two alternates also, due to the fact that the Alabama Legislature meets only every four years, and that both Senator ge Morgan and Senator Pettus are past so years of age.

The Duchess, who' is very popular, passes every hour of the afternoon and night at social gatherings of some kind. She is an intimate of the Infanta Eu- lalia, has made many friends among the Spanish colony and occasionally is seized with the desire to learn the Cas- tilian tongue.

South Catolina has practiced this system for several years. That the people, not the Legislature, elect the Senator is evident by this sentence in the Congressional biography of Senator Lattimer: "as elected to the United States Senate by 17,700 ma- jority over J.

Senator Burkett and Senator Brown both have this method to thank for their positions. So also have Sendtor Foster of Louisiana, Senator Simmons of North Carolina, and Senator Taylor of.

Sen- ator Martin and Gov. Montagu can- vassed the State, with the result that the men named by Senator Martin were elected by a majority of more than 15,- 000. Here was an example of the Unit- ed States Senator making the Legis- lature, instead of the Legislature mak- ing a United States Senator. What will be accomplished at the Des Moines convention toward making com- pulsory in every State the method vol- untarily adopted in one-third of the states, remains to be seen. Gov.

RY GEORGE ADE. (Copyright, 1906, by George Ade.) - HE storv of Maud Muller was a Cork- er in its day. Jt is now what Presi- | dent ‘Eliot of Hovvad ‘wauld call a me. If it were larger it would be called Lemon. - Some forty summers ago every sentimental arah in the whole country kept inher room AGift-Book containing the verses about Maud n the hayheld and the Judge riding by on vis. crestnut horse. It was a simple yarn, but adly sweet ‘withal. : ~ When a Belle of the sixties retired 6 her yappy little Boudoir with the cardboard Mot- toes, the kerosene lamp and the handworked Shams, she always had to read about Maud and her hard Finish before she could sink back into the [eathers. First she would remove the stingy little Hat that usually had one rooster feather in it and was worn tilted over the right eye. Then she would loosen up the Net, and the Chignon and the Waterfall, and carefully put away the Cameo Brooch, weighing one-half pound. Then shé would take off the queer Gaiters that had Elastics on the side. Also the Bead Bracelets. She would back out of the Velvet Basque and climb over the Hoops and divest. herselt of various Garments made famous by Godey’s Lady’s Magazine, after which she would be ready for her evening dose 6f Maud Muller. | If a war time Belle, made in the freak costume that was in vogue when Pa and M3 were young, should walk along Alimony. Al- _ ley in the Waldorf-Astoria they would sick the House Detective on to her. And by the same rule, when you try to hafta Maud Muller poem to Mabelle, of the class /of ‘07, who has a Track Record of 1:56!4, she simply chirps a couple of times and says, “Twice ten plus three for you and heat the barrier:” | The Maud Muller kind of Poem has gone mto the Discard with the Melodeon, the lan- , Supper and the Kissing Game.

What the Fly Public wants nowadays is Plot and Something Doing. What is there in the whole Maud Muller business when you come to sift it right down and analvze it according to the methods of Modern Criticism ? It seems that Maud Muller was out in the field trving to be a full hand and save her father some money. We find accurate pic- tures of her in the old Gift-Book. barefooted and her hair was let out to dry, She had a round, shiny face and the fine, large bella- Evidently she had been washing it. donna eves of the Anna Held variety... She sang as she worked until she happened to glance at the far off town, when she ex- perienced a vague longing to diseontinue manual labor and,move into the city. This same symptom, prevailing to the present day, accounts for the large supply of Manicures. At this point the Judge comes by on horse- back. He is supposed to be a very rich man. At the time the poem was written judges were getting as high as twelve hundred dollars a vear, and the query immediately suggests itself to the reader of the present day—did he have some side line of graft ? At any rate he was rich—therefore disrep- utable. | He pulled up in the shade of the old apple tree and asked the girl to bring him a drink of water. If might occur to some that a strong, husky man who had’ been riding all morning would goand get a drink for himself instead of asking some poor working girl to do it for him. The story has it that she filled the cup from the spring and brought it to him, and as he took it she blushed, for she realized that she was not rigged out to receive swell company. The Judge thanked her and remarked that “a sweeter draught from a fairer hand was never quafied.” This was going some right off the reel. He went on to talk about the flowers and the thirds and the bees and finally got around to the weather. A man dealing in this line of

conversation could not stay in the game for any great length of time at the present dav, but newertheless it seems that the ,Judge nade a ten-strike with Maud. After he rode away she watched him and said to herself, as nearly as her remarks can be translated into the sweet Vernacular of the twentieth century: “Oh, if I could only land} some man like that! Our family would cer- tainly put a crimp in his Bank Account. He could buy all father’s clothes and lend money traveling ex- mother’s to brother and pay penses.” ’ It was evident that Maud reallv loved: the Judge. As for the Judge, he looked back from a hill and saw her still soldiering and gazing at him and said: “She looks all right to me. If I could get some girl like that, me for a quiet place in the country, But I don't think my family would stand for her.”’ So the Judge rode on into the town and back to the Courthouse, while Maud stood around, thinking of him, until she was caught ' in the rain. He married a rich wife who traveled with the high-rollers, and often at night when he was waiting for her to come home he would gaze into the fire and wish that he could get out of it without having his picture-.in the papers. wondered why he hadn't Sometimes he played:a few return dates with the good look- er that brought him the water. As for Maud, she married a poor man, but what the couple lacked in Furniture they made up in Family. } | Very often she would sit around during the with nothing to read ows long, lonesome evenings, but the agricultural papers, and try to imag- ine what might have been if she had made a little stronger play for the Judge. That is the end of the story. There is noth- ing more to it. Suppose that some Whittier of today should write this kind of a story and send it to the editor of a brisk little magazine that guaran- tees you many a tingle for your 10-cent piece. Would the wise man in charge of the dime- throbber, who knows just what the flat-headed public is looking for, atcept any: such childish and pointless narrative as this’ Not on your 300,000 circulation ! He would return the Ms. to the Author and story more Snappy and give the Artist a chance at some cracking good Pictures. By the mance it would run about as follows: Mande, with an “e,” as a type of the Pro- gressive New Woman, is in the hay-field di- recting the operations of a large gang of workinen, when the Judge comes by in a 60- horsepower motor car. The Judge has become immensely wealthy while acting as a tool of the Corporate Inter-

ests that are slowly but surely sucking the life-blood of the Republic. The Judge is

the embodiment of the pernicious System, whatever that is.

Inasmuch as he is exceeding the speed lim- it, Maude, when she sees him coming, goes into her colonial cottage that cost a half million, and gets a shotgun, and as he comes by she shoots him in the knee. The purpose of introducing this incident is to give the artist an opening for a wash-drawing that will be full of Action. The Judge falls out of the machine and Maude Muller has him carried into the house,

In the revised version Maude goes into court and proves that her husband invari- ably wears a red necktie, thereby giving her | many hours of actite suffering, and that she can no longer remain under the same roof. So the Court. sets her free and enters an order that she shall not be permitted to marry again for two weeks. In the meantime, the Judge proves that his wife has been excessivély cruel in that she does not always agree with him, and of course he gets his decree. Then the Judge and Maude get together and take the tall Hurdle hand in hand, In the antiquated romance when Mrs, E. D..:. N. Southworth was the Real Thing, the marriage of the two would be the Final Chapter. It will be recalled that the Hero, after four-flushing and backing up and walking suleways through 300 pages of long con- versations and weather reports, finally came to Taw. He found her in the Conservatory or else at the rustic bench beneath the hawthorn tree with a distant view of the Manor House— the very spot on which they first /met, the

There is no reason why she shouldn't calm down and behave herself, but for some rea- son the plain $14 a week mortals who live in suburban flats like to have their Fiction served with paprika dressing, and so the poor Society Leader has to govern herself accordingly. \ Maude gets to be an Awful Thing.

Whenever any- thing happens to worry her, she simply gets out her light Artillery and gives herself a Shot that blows the ribbons out of her hair. Then in a few; minutes she is picking grapes and watching the Northern Lights. Things go on from bad to worse until Maude, fooling with the Hypo one day, gets Exposure, jumps off of Brooklyn Bridge.

AYORS of many of the cities In M Kansas are on the anxious seat. They are wondering if, over night, the Attorney General will bring proceedings to oust them from office for failing to enforce the prohibitory law. So far Attorney-General Coleman has brought suéh actions against the fol- lowing Mayors: Mayor Finlay Ross of Wichita. Mayor Peter Everhardy of Leaven- worth. Mayor F. W. City. Mayor A. B. Kirkwood of Pittsburg. Mayor W. W. Rose of Kansas City, Kan. In this list the first should be last and the last should be tirst for the Mayor Rose ouster case has not only been brought; but tried. He was ousted, $1000, and deprived of the right to hold the office, although he was re- elected immediately.

Two vears ago he received more than 70,00 plurality. Immediately after the election Attor- ney-General Coleman began his ac tive Campaign against the mayors of “wet” towns.

Lizmann called out the men for prac- | tice in execution drill and had, unknown to them, loaded their rifles wi, | cartridge. He impersonated a Woomed , man and stood at 15 paces from the | firing party. He ordered them to aim | at his heart, and carefully tested the | level of their weapons. one man whose rifle was pointed too | low.

Wichita, Pittsburg, Kansas City -and many other cities, it is alleged that the law is openly violated, and that the ‘“joints,”’ as saloons are termed, pay a reguiar ‘‘fine’ into the city treasury which amounts to a license. It is on this® “fine”, or ‘“‘license”’ tem that the cases are brought. During the recent campaign in which Co}. W. A. Harris, Democrat, was run= against Gov. E. W. Hoch, Repub- lican, who was seelting a second term, the main issue was law enforcement. Hloch, as editor of the Marion Record, Sys- er and temperance advocate and Meth- odist deacon, had stood strongly for pro- hibition. Before he was Governor he onee said that if he were Governor he would enforce the prohfbitory law if he had to call out the militia During the campaign it was said Hees the stump by.Democrats that Gov. Hoch and his administration had failed to in- force the prohibitory law, and Co!.

TRYING, CONVICTING AND HANGING MAN IN FOUR HOURS IN TEXAS = |

-— a= Being a Plain and Unadorned but True Tale of the Swiftness With Which Justice Moves in the Lone Star State When | a Negro Is at the Bar. Texas, especially when a negro is at the bar, but the case of “Dick” Garrett, who was tried, convicted and hanged~within four hours, probably sets a record. Here is the plain, unadorned tale of this remarkable proceeding told by the Center (Tex.) correspondent in the Dalias News: : Tried, convicted, sentenced and hanged, all in due process of law, in less than four hours. This was the record of the District Court of Shelby County to- day, in which Dick Garrett, murderer of Dr. M. M. Paul, was meted out the ends of law. | “It’s got to be done, and I want it done right now, so a8 my people, can ‘take me to Tenaha and bury me | and get back before night.” This is what Dick Garrett said when Judge S. M. Davis, told him the |sen- tence of law could not be executed within 30 days from the time of con- viction unless he voluntarily and of his own free will and accord waived his rights. Regardless of the continued admonition of friends, he persisted with perfect calmness in having the sentence éxecuted at once. . / 3t was about 9:30 o'clock in the fore- was called, the two and J USTICE always moves swiftly in noon when court military companies from Beaumont Timywon, besides a large force of depu- ties, having guarded the negro in the Courthouse all night. People from all had gathered the surrounding country Court- in and congregated around the house at an early hour in the morning, but no one but the military, the offi- cers and bar and the relatives of the deceased were nermitted to enter the Courthouse and hear ary part of the tria!. The defendant announced that he wanted to enter a plea of guilty, and the indictment was read by District At- tornev. Imboden. “Do you understand,” Court, “that in pleading guilty to the crime the. death sentence or 4 term of life imprisonment may be inflicted.”’ He Knew What It Meant. “Yes, I. understand,” responded asked - the the prisoner.” “Are you doing this of y will and accord, or have you been ter- rifled or frightened into it?” “Tam guilty of the charge and sat- isfied that something is to be done, and I want it done right away.’ “Then the plea is entered voluntar- tiv?” asked the Court, “Yes,” respopdéd the prisoner. The Court’ appointed Judge R. Ss. ryarty And Hon. Dan Walker to de- Peng sie negro and then proceeded to. the trial. The 1° jurors were selected as fol- lows: John EF. Davis, Bill Fincher, L. B. Caldwell, M. D. Cooper, S. A. Pea- cock, W. A. Bridges, W. J. Monroe, J. A. Ramsey. J. F. Lock. C. D. Mc- Knighty, F. Johnson and Ww. A. Shef- ner. Only three witnessos were intro- duced and there was nothing material brought out further thang has been published. The deceased, Dr. Paul, having been friendly to both factions, was selected as one among several to go and make the arrest of the negro Sxiurday and it was while on this mission that he met his death as a result of a shot from a shotgun in the hands of a desperate negro. The evi- dence showed that two shots were fired, one grazing his cheek and the other striking him in the head. It showed further that Mrs. Short had informed the officers tlhrat the negro was not in the house and later that he vas and that he was armed and there would Iikely be trouble. Jury Out Seven Minutes, None of the Shorts were witnesses in the case nor have they been around the streets since the trouble. After hearing the evidence the jury Was out just seven minutes and re. turned the verdict: “We the jury, find the defendant, Dick Garrett, guilty of murder in the first degree. and assess his punishment at death.” The defendant heard the-verdé¢t with- out showing any evidence whatever of a fright and was apparently as cool as any man in the house. His. counsel, ‘Judge Bryarty. announced after a brief consultation with the prisoner that the defendant accepted the verdict, desired to file no motion for a new tri@ and wished to have the sentence of law ex- ecuted at once. The Court ordered the negro to stand up and said: “Dick Garrett. the jury has assessed your punishment at death and the sen- tence cannot be @xecuted under 30 days unless you voluntarily waive all rights.

The Court then began p°esing the sentence, but was interrupted by some parties endeavoring to cet into the courtroom from the outside. Order was restored and the sentence was passed.

RIENDS of Riley Pitman, a wae! natured young Paducah giant, will urge him as a candidate for a Carnegie hero award for his feat of seizing with his bare hands a snapping snarling mad dog, which was chased by a dozen armed men and had just bitten a little girl, and breaking its neck on the curb. » This deed was performed Sunday aft- ernoon, Sept. 23, near Adams and Third streets and was witnessed by nearly a score of persons. Ferd L. Lutz of Eighteenth and High streets, Louisville, proposed Pitman’s name and the papers preliminary to the investigation by the commission are now being prepared. Pitman does not think he did any- thing unusual. He is 6 feet 2, weighs 180 pounds, and is as active as a boy. He is 3% years old and a blacksmith. He works for J. E.

Oklahoma Farmer’s Effort to Raise Few Stalks of Natural Leaf for Home Use, Results in-a Most Surprising and Profitable Discovery. DURANT, O. T., Dec. 1. CCORDING to what A ered very reliable information, a former Kentuckian now re- siding on a farm in the southern part of Blue County, has discovered a meth- od that entirely eliminates the boll weevil from ravaging the cotton ficirs. The farmer’s name is Crautch, and like all other great discoveries, his is 'a simple one—so simple indeed that any farmer can utilize it without expense and with no additional labor than is re- quired to: produce his cotton. In fact, the use of this discovery will also serve as a revenue producer while protecting the cotton. Farmer Crautch, being from Ken- tucky, was naturally interested in the culture of tobacco, and while planting cotton some two or three seasons ago, ‘set some tobacco plants in the rows with the cotton. He did this merely to grow a few stalks of tobacco for his own use. is consid- | MOticed that there was no As Crautch cultivated his

CANNING FACTORY TO HANDLE TEXAS FIGS. Houston Firm Gets Option on Big Yield. ALGOA, Tex., Dec. 1.—It is reported here that J. C. Carpenter & Co. of Houston have consummated a plan. that will enable them to establish a large cannery here. The principal output Of this plant will be fig preserves. The bulk of their product will be procured from the Alvin Fruit and Nursery Co. and Heas & Halley, fig growers. Car- penter & Co. have a three-year contract with the two firms for their entire crop. It is also expected that fig growers of Friendswood will market their crops here. It is something worth knowing that the two companies of Algoa pro- duce more Magnolia figs than any other fig farm in the United States.

Bi CHAREST, toumania, Dec. 1.— Hias the idealness of the Roumanian hills, the desolation of her wild land- Scapes entered into the heart and. life of the crown princess? The spirits of the. fair, flaxen-haired girl, who led such a care-free, Joyous existence in her native land have undergone a great “change since she came to live in. her * husband's mountainous country. Daughter of a Russian grand -duchess and of the Duke of Edinburgh, after- ward Duke of Saxe-Coburg, Princess Marie combines thie freshness and dis- tinction of the English beauty with the half oriental fascination of the Slav. The greater part of her childhood was spent in the open and she won a repu- ation for skillful horsemanship through- eut the Duchy of Coburg. Her merry disposition and winning Ways made her a genuine favorite [ amone ‘the peasant folk who even now repeat certain anecdotes of her kindness and generosity, for the benefit of the passing traveler, Great was their regret when a Prince’from the far-away hill

Not only does she insist on adorning herself in the half-barbar- ic splendor of the native peasant dress when she wanders through her vast mountain estate at Sinai, but she has - collected ‘ancient volumes and manu- Scripts unknown to the ordinary well- éefiucated Roumanian. oIn the seclusion of her magnificent home she pores over illuminated pages. Her readings, coupled with her natural artistic tendencies, have permitted her to turn the palace of Catroceni at Bucharest into a region of Orientak lux- ‘-ury. Room after room has been dis- mantled of its conventional furnishings and transformed into a fairyland of rare tapestries. rich marbles and golden embroideries. The Princess herself de- signed most of the decorations, the key- note of which is the roval lily. In her ‘ boudoir its large red petals stare from the walls; in her white reception room. with its profusion of bear skins, a frieze of blue lilies smiles) down discreetly on the guests, but in her golden room— a fantastic interior like some Arabian Nights scene—this symbolic blossom is embroidered on precious stuffs, is half Concealed by a conventional design in the wall paneling, is crushed under foot as if it lies woven in the silken rug. , y As an Oriental Dreanel. In this room-—the apotheosis of the Princess’ worsnip for exotic settings— she spends hours in a sort of mystic spell. Robed in a_ trailing garment spangled with costly gems, her ‘arms weighted down with bracelets and her fair hair crowned with a tiara imitat- ing the sun’s rays, she sits in her high chair—a strange piece of mosaic work in copper, leather and rich e®ems, and which was copied after an antique throne. ‘There she muses over some {y- . ory-bound tome or “dreams away the _Whort afternoons gazing out upon the ‘panorama of rolling bills that environ the royal grounds. Suddenly she awakes from some all- absorbing reverie, descends from her high chair and hurriedly leaves the room. The twilight hour has come and the Princess es ready for an even- ing canter. From out the window she has seen a horseman go by and he re- inds her that the open air, the liv- present and a’good steed are stil] am much a part of her as her love for the mystic past. In the very great popularity of this lovely Princess lies Prince Feardinand’s principal chance of overcoming opposi- tion In Roumania and succeeding to the throne when Marie will become success- or to the talented ‘‘Carmen . Sylva.” There is no more beautiful woman among continental royalties and the Roumantans fdolize her. When she visited London for the cor- onation, her regal loveliness dazzled so- clety.

KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. 1—The T. J. Harrison Post, G. A: R., has taken ac- tion to prevent a desecration of the graves of the soldier dead in the old cemetery of Kokomo. Some time aso the Board of Works accepted the old cemetery as a city park to *‘save it from decay and ruin,” and the board claims that the protest is now too late. It was believed then that bodies of soldiers no lohger reposed within iis limits, so many having been removed, but it: new appears that some bodies are left. However, there has been preserved no record by which the piace of burial could be found, and long ago the grounds had been leveled and no sem- blance of a mound remains. The erec- tion of a suitable shaft to the memory of the soldier dead has been suggested. Pension From Second Love.

Dea Shs? HUNTERS YIELD SNAKES Ih

Texas Men Could See Results of Battle Only by Count- ing Dead Reptiles. ‘ PURSUED BY WILD PIGS Boar Whose Hide Flattened Bullet Killed With a Knife, , TWO MEN WERE TREED

Escaped to Hunt Deer After a Three Hours’ Uncomfort- able Siege,

HOUSTON, Tex., Dec, 1.—A party of Houston hunters returned a few days ago from the wilds of West Texas, aft- er an eventful 11 days’ outing in which they fought wild hogs, killed deer, large quantities of smaller game, battled with rattlesnakes and were finally routed by the reptiles and forced to retreat for their lives, says the Chronicle. Composing the party were A. A. Mar- tm of the Southern Pacific, Dr. D. W. Whipple and W. W. Kellogg. They were joined in Zavalla County, the scene of their activities, by Hardaway Evans, a guide and hunter of renown in those parts. Evans piloted the party on to the vast expanse known as Pry- or’s ranch and to the semi-artificial slough known as, Montgomery tank. It was in this section’ that President Theodore Roosevelt hunted the wild hog while on a Texas visit three years ago and Hardaway Evans was one of his guides. The outing was an annual event of the three men. The appearance of frost is the time for them to leave with hounds, }camping outfit and provisions. " | Rattie of the Snakes. i

The eleventh day they were literally driven from camp by snakes. They had /massacred reptiles until lifeless bodies of snakes formed a trail by which their coursé might have been followed. Snakes, snakes; they seemed every- |'where and of monstrous size. There were copperheads, racers and other kinds, but the section f$ the home ‘of the rattler and they were in greater /-abundance. The warm weather and tepid rains had brought out the reptiles in vast numbers for a last exercise be- fore beginning their winter sleep. The | rocky sides of the hills seemed to have (ay snake for every large stone. Gorges, | crevices and-caves all had their writh- / ing inhabitants. Each member of the party had numer- ous narrow escapes from reptile fangs. Mr, Martin wae struck several times on hia knee boots Sy rattlers, and Dr. Bedsdnames had one particular narrow es- fecape’ from being bitten on the face. Kellogg and Dr. Whipple trafled a. deer until they were tired and they cencluded to: rest, providing they could find a spot that seemed free from snakes. It was a pleasant afternoon and inviting for a siesta. They se- lected a spot on a hillside that seemed snakeless, and after chatting for a time, both took a nap. Rattler Disturbs Nap. Dr. Whipple was awakened by a rat- tling sound close to his ear*and as he opened his eyes he saw a monstrous rattler, coiled ready to spring into his face. He whirled with all of his power, rolling in an opposite direction and down the hill. It was a timely move- ment, for a moment later, he believes, he would have been bitten. Thé snake Was quickly killed. None of the party was bitten, but one dog fell a victim. A rattler fast- ened its fangs in one of’ the dog’s jaws and In a few hours the animal's head was greatly swollen. It was de- bated whether the dog should be put Mr.

to death. Dr. Whipple counciled that it should not, saying that dogs had: a way of procuring their own ati- dotes and td leave the sufferer en- tirely alone. In three days it. had practically reeovered. One distressing feature of the trip was that all of the bountiful supply of snake antidote which the party had provided, was carried past the station where they left the tyain. Zavalla. County is strictly tentper- ance and prohibition is rampant. It is classed as the Saraha of Texas. There was not a mouthful of any- thing stronger than coffee procur- able. For 11 days the hunters bat- tled with rattlers and not a drop of antidote. This is regarded as one of the highest tests of heroism to which hunters of Hlouston have ever been subjected, Treed by Wild Hogs. There were other terrors than snakes, and among them were herds of javalins, or wild hogs. It. was these animals that Lady Constance. MacKenzie jour- neyed from Scotland to Texas to hunt fovr years ago. She was the guest of Mrs. King, the Texas cattle queen. ‘T0 hunt wild hogs is a mark of ‘coupage or the part of any nimrod and the one who goes into it knowingly is usually well posted on what he is facing. The hunt of President Roosevelt after java- lins on the Prior ranch is regarded as one of the gamest of his exploits. The first member of the party to encounter javalins was Mr. Kellogg. He did not know there was a pack in the bush when ‘he got a shot at rather long range at a scouting boar. His shot was lucky, as the boar fel: dead. A moment lafer the whole pack rushed from cover Snorting and circling for sight of the foe. Kellogg gave a danger signal and Dr? Whipple joined him. The hogs sighted the two hunters and charged. ‘There was no time to waste hunters shinned up,. one in either tree. Fortunately two scrub oaks were near at hand and in the nick of time the hunters shinned up, one in either tre. The guns Had been left on the ground. There was not much to do except to wait and hope. The hunters were high enough to prevent the mad. hogs tusk- ing them. After three hours of suspense the hogs seemed to grow weary of the watch and slowly departed. A half hour later the two hunters recovered their guns and retreated to camp. The toughness of the hide of a native pig was shown by a shot artin made with his 803 Savage rifle at yards. It was at a monstrous boar. Mr. Fvans Was in the vicinity at the time. A broadside of the boar was presented TENS FIGHT until him, dragging its hind feet. The Martin he dodged behind a Bowie knife.

Neuman Hillel of 1112 Franklinvavenue alleges that his wife, Ette Hillel of 2827 Gamble street is a ‘‘devout’’ anarchist and a heliever in free love, in his an- Swer and cross-bill to her suit for di- vorece, which he filed yesterday in Judge Taylor’s court. He used the same gen- eral representations late in SBeptember in an endeavor to get possession ,of their children, Pearl, aged 5, and Sarah, aged 3, by habeas corpus proceedings, but Judge Ryan declined to take them from their mother, holding that at their ages they could not be affected harm- fully by their mother's views. Hillel savs that ‘“‘for a long time prior to the separation his wife spent most of her time reading, studying and at- tending the meeting of anarchists.”’ She declared that she believed in free love, he says, and a year before the separation she pulled off her wedding ring and threw it in his face, declaring that she: ‘didn’t care for married life.

Stomach Sufferers

Squander Millions ‘ In Search of Relief. The world is full of disordered stom- ! achs and 90 per’ cent of the money | in an attempt to cure the stomach. People are made to believe that in order to gain health they must doctor | their stomachs and use cathartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of a life time are exhausted and yet no cure, Let’s be reasonable. The sick stomach is in every case the result of over-eating, hurried mas- tication and improper choice of foods. The mucous lining all the way down the food tract loses its sensitiveness, and when food is forced down the museles fail to respond. They do not churn the food as they should. The glands no longer give out gastric juice to dissolve the food and render it capable of assimilation. The man has become a dyspeptic. : There is One sure way and only one to bring positive relief. Put into that stomach of yours the very elements that it lacks to get that food into liquid form. It takes pepsin, diastase, golden seal and other ferments to ac- complish this. The healthy stomach contains these elements. The dyspep- tic stomach lacks part or all of them. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet is made up of just what the dyspeptic stomach lacks—nature’s digestives. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not a.drug, not a cathartic. They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such ailments as arise ftom poorly di- sted food. aN hile they digest the food the stom- ach recuperates. rhe mucous mem- brane is coming: out of its stupor, the gastrie Juice IS coming to the sur- ~ the muscles are regaining their Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skin gains color, and the eyes ase no + longer tinged with| yellow, You live.

IRISH TRUST AUCTIONS REPLACE THE BANKS. DUBLIN, Dec. 1.—Some amusing tes- timony about the devices adopted by small farmers in Ireland to raise ready money in remote districts where there are no banks was given by G. W. Rus- sell of the Irish Agricultural Organiza- tion Society, before the Congested Dis- tricts Comission. . The: favorite device, Mr. Russell said, is the ‘“‘trust auction.’ at which the auctioneer gives the buyer three or four months’ credit and pays the selier cash at a small discount. In one instance, Mr. Russe]] said all the farmers in a district put their cows together. One of thelr number took them to town to be sold, and the others attended and bid up the prices to a good figure. The seller obtained the cash; which they divided, and then they re- distributed the cows Mr. Russell also mentioned a case in 1 which a man raised $375 on his cow by taking her from auction to auction in this way. The debts to the auctioneer are almost invariably met:when they fall due.

oF ediiale a> i singl@ brain {s far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Caleium Sulphide) and sold in the drug stores. under the name of Stuart’s Calcium, Wafers. Thev are small chocolate coated pellets and con- tain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef- fective form. Fuw people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health: sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifies and en- riches the blood by the prompt elimina-

tion of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molas- ses every spring and fall, but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flow- ers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern. concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart’s Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. ; They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con- stipation and purify the blood in a way ‘that often surprises patient and physi- cian alike. , Dr. R. M. Wilkins, while experiment: ing with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was su- perior to any other form. He says: “For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from consti- pation or malaria, I have-been sur- prised at the results obtained. from Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disap- pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stu- art’s Calcium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physi- cians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kid- ney troubles, and especially jin all forms of skin diseases as this remedy. _At any rate people who are tired: of pills, eathartics and so-called blood ‘purifiers” will find in Stuart’s Calcium Wafers a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation.

Men Long in Service of Chicago Merchant Divide $100,000. CHICAGO, Dec. 1,—Distribution of more than $300,000, left by the will of Marshall Field to 275 faithful employes who had seen long service in the great house which he established, has been practically completed. : Mr. Field left $200,000 to employes whose names and the amounts each should receive he gave. In addition he bequeathed $19,000 in a lump sum to be Mstributed among others who had been in the service 3 to 41 years. Almost a year of hard work on the part of astute business men was con- Sumed in apportioning the lump sum equitably among so many employes. The simplicity of a direct pro rata sneak ment was interfered with by clauses in| the will ordering that any pbenefictaries | fit want through sickness or other! causes should receive especial consid- ération. ‘this provision made necessary an investigation of the persona] sur- roundings of every one of 275 employes. The distribution of the funds was in charge of Robert M. Fair, James G. a and Harry G. Selfridge, as trus- ees, The names of the beneficiaries, it was decidea, should not be made public. Af- ter much discussion, @ pro rata scheme of distribution was decided on, with length of service and actual necessities as influencing factors. -This was in di- rect pursuit of section 16 of the Field will, which says: ‘I desire that such distribution shall be made among those most in need of aid, but having regard nevertheless to the length of service of the several distributees, and their faith- fulness and zeal.” bh Many employes legally entitled to par- ticipation under the will voluntarily sur- rendered their allotments, on the ground that, being entirely beyond need of as- sistance because of the salaries they are now receiving, they preferred their shares be turned over to those less for- tunate, The provision that no persons men- tioned elsewhere in the will should par- ticipate in the distribution of the $100,- 000 fund refers to a few employes to whom was left more than $200,000, —

HOUSTON, Tex., Nov. 17.—At a meet- ing of the members of the Executive Committee appointed at a previous meeting of those interested in the deep water project for the Brazos River, held at the Rice Hotel in Houston, a com- pany was formally organized to operate a line of steamers upon the waterway as the improvement of the stream under Government contract progresses. Meanwhile a fleet of tugs and barges will be installed in the freight service.

KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. 1.—A unique situation has developed in reference to the Durell Negro School, taught by Charles Harvey, a negro, in Ervin Township. Teacher Harvey's school numbers just four pupils. One !s white and the other three are negroes. Of the three negroes, two are children of the teacher. Aside from his own household Harvey js affording instruc- tion to two pupils, for which he receives $2.47 a day. His school @n not be abolished, for his contract with Trus- tee Ridgeway holds until the latter part of March. Fuel, repairs and other ex- penses are to be counted, which. brings the cost of education very high, but Harvey i!s disposed to stand by his rights and demands a stiff price to sur- render his contract. White children will not attend the school and protesting taxpayers appear to be helpless. Teach-

BERLIN, Dec. 1—Jack Peters, the well-known tamer of wild animala was terribly mauled at the Busch Circus While performing in a cage containing four lions and two tigers. Peters carries a revolver in his pocket and a heavy riding whip tn his hand while in the cage, but towards the end of the performance he lays the whip aside to box with one of the tigers, the remaining five wild beasts sitting round and watching the contest. After the boxing Peters was drawing off a huge pair of leather gloves, which he always wears to ward off the tiger's claws, when both tigers suddenly sprang at him, striking him with their paws and biting fiercely at his limbs. Peters fought with desperation, parrying the blows and attempting to beat off his assailants. During the struggle the tigers tore the flesh from his face, shoulders and arins, but finally Peters fired his revol- ver and used the momentary pause in the combat caused by the reports to es- cape from the cage.

An_ excited young man, who represented himself to be City Comptroller Herman A. Metz, caused four detectives to be rushed to the scene and invade the banquet hall, to the disgust of the iners. It is understood that the young man was the instrument of a huge joke.

This is Comptroller Metz,’ said the voice, “and 1 want you to hurry the men. There is a riot in the banquet hall. Policemen Coleman and Campbell hur- ried to the hotel and found every- ; thing quiet, except for the apeech of Sir Mortimer. who was taking Mr. Carnegie to task for saying the Scotth now considered themselves too 00d for the British army and navy. The detectives interrupted matters long enough to talk with Mr. Metz. The Comptroller said he had not sum- moned them, and they departed. Mean- time, police headquarters had_ been Called up again.

VERDICT FOR PROSECUTOR megnonavens et Why Waste Your Moneyon FoolishPresents a Basis for Criminal ) — At this great store you can be shown hundreds of seasonable and sensible articles most appropriate for Holiday Gifts. Novelties in the home-furnishing line which would be treasured by the recipients and held as a constant reminder of enduring friendships. While you are favoring your loved ones, why don’t you give them something serviceable? A box of bon-bons 1s all right In a way; but how soon forgotten—perhaps like the giver. While, on the other hand, some artistic piece of furniture or ornament will give a hun- dred fold greater satisfaction. And then the outlay is so trivial—only a dollar down—just what a box of bon-bons would cost. Just see the splendid Morris Chair shown below, 7s : eos or a Couch or Chiffonier. Why not have a tine Kitchen Cabinet sent out to the home, and take your time about paying for it? That’s better than a Savings account at the bank. ee oe Salvation ae Tt gives greater returns.

Io., and without a break has con- . nued in that position to the present i ietie the burden of 835 years, Dr. | alter still ministers to the people of his , ongregation, and is beloved and hon- | Bec. med among the residents of Burlington. | Bx He is somewhat feeble and is not 89 trong as he was, but he is among his | yweople daily, and receives them in the junny study where he reads and writes, | Ee and prepares the interesting and power- | ful sermons he still continues to preach | to his congregation. He has as an as- | sistant Rev. Naboth Osborne, a young | § and capable man, who takes from his shoulders the burden of thé pastorate, | the calls, and the detail work of the ' ministry, but he still gives the richness | of his mind in serrnons and addresses. Eighty-five years ago Saturday, Nov. 17, Rev. William Salter was born in Brooklyn, N. Y. He was educated for the ministry, and in 1843 he came to Iowa, driving much of the distance in @ wagon. Burlington was but a village, The Flint Hills, then. For two years he served as missionary in this locality and then was called to the church here, at the age of 25. In August of that year he was married to Mary Macintire of Charleston, Mass. To them were born four sons and one daughter. The living children are George B., a prominent business man of Burlington: Sumner, a well known musician of New York, and William M., a leader in the Ethical Culture Society of Chicago. Mr. Salter’'s work in Burlington has n far-reaching.

In addition to his church work, Dr. Salter has written a number of important books. The latest effort was issued from the press after his eighty-fifth year—‘‘A History of Iowa.’’ This work is not a large volume, but is complete in detail and is considered one of the best and } most reliable stories of the State. The ‘Value of the book lies in the fact that Dr. Salter is personally acquainted with the facts he records for 60 years back.

FARM AS PRISON FOR JUVENILES ae Judge Suggests Means of | Strengthening Ineffective Child Law, DES MOINES, Io., Dec. 1.—Judge William McHenry, in a letter addressed to Mrs. Gardner Cowles, discusses the present juvenile law and offers two radical changes in it, which he believes will render it of value. A farm for the juvenile prisoners is one suggestion. He suggests that in the provision of a place for detention of the prisoners, a small farm be secured at county and city expense in cities

It is his idea that the prison- ers should be kept there sometimes for indefinite periods and afterwards ap- prenticed to some trade or disposed of as the court may see fit. Compensation, he says, is absolutely

His particu- lar pet is a superb lioness. But for his wife's remonstrances Morot would have bought more animals from Bostock’s menagerie, which has just been sold by auction at Neuilly. Morot is painting a portrait of Am- bassacdor MeCormick, which will be hung in the Embassy's stately recep- tion hall as a companion picture to Flaiming’s vortrait of Mrs. McCormick, which J. Pierpont Morgan pronounced as one cf the most artistic and, faith- ful nictures of modern times.

RR eet HOLLAND FEARS TOLLS ON RHINE COMMERCE. THE UAGUE, Dec. 1.—Repeated ru- mors about Prussia’s intention of levy- ing tolls on Rhine traffic have caused some uneasiness, which Mj pund a vent in the Second Chamber. The Nieuwe Cour- ant, ¢ommenting on the question, ex- presses a fear that Prussia, when she has converted adjacent states to her own views, ‘may demand a confeperice for revising the Rhine navigation treaty, which prohibits tolls. In such a conference fHiciland would be outvoted, to the greut detriment of her shipping interests. : PICTURELESS BILLBOARD - POLICEMAN’S DREAM.

PARIS, Dec. 1.~Poets must shed a tear, for Alfred de Musset’s willow tree is dead. It stood in the Champs Ely- sees, exactly in front of the entrance of the gardens of the presidential pal- ace of the Elysee. The poet sat many @ summer day in the shade of its leaves and tradition says that it was there that he wrote the famous ‘Nuit de Mai,’’ one May evening, when he re-

In these latter times no muses visit poets in the gardens of a summer night, but the brass band of a music-hall blares near by, and rather coarse voices keep the birds awake with the ‘Matt- chiche” or the newer and even less intelligent “Petite Tonkinoise.”" But Musset’s willow remained until this au- tumn. 2 Municipal beautifiers had oiten pro- posed that a drive should be cut through from the gate of the Elysee directly to the avenue, which at present can be reached from the palace only by a roundabout route. But no President of set's willow being cut down.

Next Legislature Expected to! Provide for Erection of More Buildings)

_AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 1—Texas has’ taken an advanced position in the mat- ter of the care of her epileptic wards. It is one of the few states that has provided an institution at which in- digent persons who are suffering from epilepsy are received and treated. The asylum was established in AWilene about three years ago and is operated under the colony plan. At the time the movement for estab- lishing such an institution was begun there were many epileptics in the coun- ty jaiis, in the almshouses and running about the towns and country of their own freé will. These unfortunates were given no treatment with the view of improving their physical and material condition. Many were social outcasts, with no one to give a thought as to their proper care. The plan of the epileptic colony at Ab- llene embraces W cottages, two hospi- tals, an Industrial building and a roamne ation hall. So far, four cottages two hospitals have been built »b State. hese buildings acommodate 240 patients. The colony is already crowd- ed in the men's department, although it was thought at the time the bulldi were erected they would accommodate ail patients for a number of years to come. There is very little room left for patients In the women's department. d the It is stated by Dr. John Preston, su- perintendent-of the institution, that there are 350 applicants on the waitin list. The next Legislature will be ask to make an appropriation to more than double the present capacity. This will probably be done and six more «ottages and another hospital erected. Plansed An ideal Home. : In establishing the epileptic colony there was contemplated an idea] home far the care and tréatnient of this neg- lected class of fellow beings; a place where they could have such privileges as are not accorded elsewhere; a place where they could feel that they were equal In privileges and associations with those who should come in dally contact with them; @ place where th could have some s0cial enjoyments and church privilewes and at the sano time a place where they could work and thereby not only learn some useful trade, but ma- terlally aid in their support by thele industrial pursuits. Besides, and perhaps most important of all, it wae desired to provide for them a place where could be afforded the best nursin and most scientific treatment of their disease. Dr. Preston says that to a degree, all ideas originally contemplated have been accomplighed. At least, a good be- ginning has been made. The location of the colony on an ideal site has been an important factor in its success. ff « on an elevation affording perfect nat- ural drainage.

Bpecial Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—The _ prosce- nium of the Belasco Theater Tuesday night framed pictures fit to hang in galleries. A score or more during the changing scenes of “The Rose of the Rancho” were so perfect in proportion “and perspective, so warm in atmos- pheric coloring and so deceptive in mi- ‘mute detail of composition that they tmeeméed to be not inanimate objects pro- jected against a background, but great canvases from the painter’s brushes. In their way they were little master- ‘pieces of impressionistic art. In the cast was a glip of a girl who flashed out from the rest of the com- ‘pany like a star from a clear sky. fn @ few Gays New York will be talking of Miss Frances Starr, a little buhdle ‘of live, magnetic wires, who has been Wrought from the background of her profession to sudden, undisputed suc- cess. Such is Belasco, the developer of @ramatio talent. . These were the features of “The Rose mf the Rancho” that made the night notable among the big events of the season and that won for the play a sure place among the other fine productions of the Belasco Theater. Its success will be lasting and it will be due, not to @pecial features of its writing, staging Or acting, but to the perfect harmony of all its component parts. The picture this time is of California In the fifties, when Spanish luxury and. @rrogance were on the wane before the Jawless inroads of the American land jumpers. The atmosphere of it all is of highly colored romance. - &In general scheme’ Richard lay is thin. etail by Belasco it might pass for little ‘er nothing—as it actually did when first \produced in the West @ year or so ago. ut as given now itis 80 amplified, so completely rounded out with all the dit- ferent touches of human nature and the , dashing, romantic spirit of its time, that | if, becomes a glice cut from pulsating ‘life. : Over the acting the audience shouted ; itself hoarse. There has recently been /mno other debutante so captivating, so » natural and unstudied, so winsome and ' BO mpeneticg tly appealing as Miss Starr, played Juanita to the life. She Bave an embodiment of frank, true, im- .pulsive girlhood, in which the capri- /Clt™gsness, coquetry, pretty petulance and haughtiness of Spanish nature were delightfully blended. It was a much fin- @f and more appealing performance of a Spanish maiden than Miss Maude Ad- 6 gave in “‘The Pretty Sister of J6s6e,"" about four years ago. The acts were three-in number. The first, representing a mission garden, banked with blooming plants and ripen- ing fruit, was of exquisite beauty. The _s@cond was the illuminated court of an _old Spanish house at the time of a be- trothal ‘fete. Never has Mr. Belasco employed lights with finer effect than in this brilliant picture. The _ final act showed the roof of the same house at the time of thesclaim jumper’s attack and the arrival of the troops. Annn Held’s New Play. “The Parisian Model,’’» produced at the Broadway Theater Tuesday night as @ frame in which to exploit the charms Of Miss Anna Held, is a musical com- edy that appeals to the. eye rather than to the ear. It is dazzling in its eolor schemes and scenic investiture, stupe- fying in its costume effects and re- plendent in gtriking novelties Which fol- low each other in such rapid succession ;that one is hardly conscious of even a ibrief hiatus.

At any rate, the new productions, ‘‘Pioneer Days’ and .“‘Neptune’s Daughter,’ financed by Shu- bert and Anderson, fairly took the audi- ence’s breath away with their size and splendor. To describe the last part of the entertainment first, the wet sec- tion of ‘the show, entitled ‘‘Neptune’s Daughter,”’ is a romance acted above, under and around the sea. The first act shows a Brittany sea-coast village, with its people engaged in revelries to celebrate the return of the fishing boats. A great storm suddenly rises and amid the flashes of lightning and pealgs of thunder a ship is driven up among the breakers and a child is rescued from its rigging. In the next scene, 18 years later, this child of the sea, Annette, is hesitating between two lovers. She jilts Pierre, who saved her from the wreck, and he appeals to the Spirit of the Ocean, which first gave her. to him, to show him a way to win back her love. Suddenly sirens, Queen of maids and the court, rise from the waves and plead with him to follow them beneath the sea, he plunges in and with the mermaids disappears from view. But meanwhille Annette relents and invokes Neptrne to restore the Mer- Then she enters the barge and to the eonsternation of the villagers sinks be-

Spends Nights Wi:h Farmers, Taking Care of His Own Horse—Opposition Says It Is a ‘*Magnificent Bluff.’’ EFFERSONIAN in spirit and in fact is the remarkable compaign Charles Scott is making for nomination as Democratic candidate for Governor of Mis- sissippi. He will travel over the entire State on horseback. : He has just completed a tour of 26 coun- ties in this manner, visiting the farmers in their homes and talking to them in villages distany from the railroad. The election for which he is preparing will take place two years from now and by that time Scott pro- poses to cover the State. He hopes to reach most of the people by his unusual method before the primaries take place in August,

Scott’s Methods Are Effective. No factionalism could stand against the Beott meth- ods, Rising in the morning he would prc eed to the stable along with the farmer while the good wife pre- pared breakfast. -~Having fed, curried and saddled his horse with his own hands, he would return to the hospitality of the house, then, after eating, would mount and proceed on his way Reports from the sections through which he passed say that there was littie occasion, after these visits, for him to ask for the votes or the people whose guest he had been.

This was four tiers of cotton bales, wrapped in silk, with gilt ties and let- tering. There were 12 bales, three in each tier, and they were wrapped in the Confederate colors—red/ white and red. He received a gold medal on this exhibit and another on his Bermuda hay. Undoubtedly, too, his contribution gained for Mis- sissippi the grand cotton prize over all the countries of the world.

- HE Hague tribunal, not having de. veloped a_ satisfactory working » plan of peace, Maj. A. M. Davis, purchasing officer for the United States Army Commissary at St. Louis, has com- pleted a plan for robbing war of one of i's most unpleasant features. Maj. Davis has perfected a ‘‘fireless cooker.’’ By its use scidiers on a forced march, pickets on the cutposts end de- tached bodies of soldiers too close to the encmy to light fires and cock in the old- fashioned wey cen still have their meals ‘piping hot. \ These are only a few of the emergency uses to which the fireless cooker can be put. Being effective in those ways, it is, of course, also capable of less picturesque but equally useful service in camp, fort and field. And not only will it cook rations | Ye

for a company of soldiers, but it will keep their meals hot for many hours in the most extreme -cold, and for days or even weeks under ordinary weather conditions. for some time, and there Lave been various tests of it, as shown in a statement on this page.

L/V FAST ST LOWS. BIGGEST WHISTLE IN THE WORLD NOW

| ~ A Sort of Noise Trust East St. Louis Sets Up Biggest Whistle in the World—Long Distance Range of 25 Miles— Puts All Other Whistles Qut of Pusiness—Likewise a General Convenience —A Surprise for the ‘Devils of Noise.” _ AST ST. LOUIS now has the biggest steam whistle in the world. It is a remarkable triple machine with three voices—a three-chime whistler, whose capacity for the annihilation of peace is ex- traordinary. This whistle blows a 10-mile blast at half-steam, and with favorable wind has a disturbing power of 20 miles. It costs & dollar every time it is blown. But this great: whistle is not all noise. It is an idea in economy, a whistle trust, a noise combine. Almost all the little noises, yelps, toots and whines of smaller mechanical throats in East St. Louis are now dumb. The giant whistle trust whistles for them. The independent whistles have to whistle off time to be heard. | | Within the range of this whistle are said to be 100,000 people who tell time by it. .To 20,000 men, women and children, work-day mornings, this whistle whistles, ‘‘Go to work!’’ At noon it announces the lunch hour, and at 1 o’clock its command is, ‘‘Back to the galley.’’ But its 6 o’clock whistle, in three whole notes, means ‘*Home, Sweet Home.”’

The largest is almost six feet in heischt, and nearly ‘ie remarkable whistle has been installed by company’s as big around as a man. On eaca side of the main "ORe is a smaller whistle. The taree units combine tO make one noise, with which even Cabanne, miles aWay, across the Mississippi River, in the West End Of SO Louis, is wel) acquainted, Tus big triple whistler was als> set up at the railway company’s electrical generating station “as ” Te@ture.” It is connected With “an electric clock,. which is regulated by the Government standard time seme Out from Washington on the dropping of a ball at @xactiy noe each day, . The electric clock wisach connects with the whistle ™ §Ua@ranteed not to vary five seconds in time a Year, and the clock’s record to date is Satisfactory. Ailm@st every man looks at his watch when the first blast is soundeu by the big whistle at 7 o'clock in ime Morning. Almost every housewife jn East 8t Louls glances at her mantel timepiece when the siren Wooer hoon—the second blast of the day. The third blast ig an hour later and the last {s at 6 in the even- ing. The independent whistles that s0und at these hours are not heard when the big whistle sends its volley of nolae notes into the air. They must wait until the big voic® hushes or they lapse into dead silence aqueiched by the dominating tone of the big whistier. The boats on the Missisaippi usually wait until me “a slat has had its whistle, and then they moan ee

“As a feature,” the big whistle is a success. Every- body in East St. Louls is proud of it. The whole pop- ulation has grown used to the din. J./ter a noon blast, an East St. Louisan will say to a stranger: “That's our big. whistle. Biggest in the world. 1 cet, my watch by it. Always correct. The world knows East St. Louls by its Whistle.” ! East St. Louis has long been a manufacturing city. This east-of-tne-river and in-another-state portion of St. Louis has a vast acreage of railroad yards. The atmosphere about the yards is mangled by 10,000 shrill notes every day. But before the coming of the big electric railway whistle, the whole East Side was a whistle Babel. Every little factory turned its whistle loose at go-to-work, lunch and quit hours, And in the meantime al! the little whistles whistled for fun. A fire in a woodshed Was an excuse to whistle. If the fire bells rang. everything with a whistle whistled. East St. Louis probably had more independent whis- tles than any otner city of ..4e size in the world, and East St. Louis probably exercised her whistles more. A locomotive engineer In the yards, having a second for fun, would sound a whistle, and then the din would set in. All this whistling meant discord and danger to the ear drums. All this whistling meant extravagance. Whistles blew 4¢ all kinds of time—tramp, raliroad and standard, also in variations. Jones’ whistle sounded at 7 o'clock by Jones’ tind and Smith's whistle sounded at 7:0 by Jones’ time but 7 by his own. In other factories there was a rivalry to see whose whistle would get the air first. In this way employes were winning MANY minutes from work in the evenings® and paving it biek by being sent to work by the whistic ateed Of thne in the morning. East St. Louis was 0" 4 whistiing Jambouree.

When the whole East Side igs blanketed from the sun at high noon by smoke, the siren sounds An Last St. Louis man, hearing the siren’s, voice, but seeing nothing but blackness, knows he is within ten miles at least of the place where he wants to be. If he doesn’t hear that thrilling voice when his stomach announces meal hours, he knows he is ten miles-or more out of his course. The voice of the modern siren, the biggest and greatest steam whistle in the world, can be heard when the searchlight of the sky can’t penetrate the East Side smoke.

Their heads lie easy in sleep, ‘lnere is no fear that conflagration ean overtake them with the vigilant siren eager to sound alarm at we first smell of smoke or first sign of a blaze. Steam ts up night and day—the greatest fire alarm in the worid is ever ready. On election nights, the siren of the East Side shouts the returns .or miles about, In the last election, one whistle meant Hearst, two whistles meant Hughes. But the returns were so delayed, the election so un- certain, that the siren refused to speak. She could not prophecy. Two years from now the siren will announce Who is President. To date no request has been made to use the wuistle to announce tie results of prize fights. But General Passenger Agent Thomas expects such requests as soon-as the boxing season warms up a little, He is ure that this service by the whistle will make a big return in popularity for his road over the commara- tively trivial cost of $1 a blast.

Then, on New Year's, the midnight blasts planned to greet the vast ear drum of the Greater St. Louis population, will probably never be forgotten. The heaven will be a full swirl of sound. Officials of the East St. Louis and Suburban Eleec- tric Railway Co. ficure that about 1200 sirens like that over their snops would make a circuit of the earth at every noon, and do more to standardize time than the telegraph. A blast from the East St. Louis siren never fails to waken the sleeper, no matter how the sieep may have been induced. Further than this no estimate of the whistle’s power is ventured. The power necessary to sound the shrill notes of Gabriel's horn remains an unknown force. Among the industries relying upon the greatest whistle in the world for announcement of time, are iron and steel foundries, aluminum works, flour mills, elevators, glass works, roofing works, lumber milfs, gas works, and a hundred others in various iner, Under the melodious voice of this siren rests the question of time and overtime for all employes in East St. Louls. *‘No matter what the factory clock suys, everybody swears by the siren.

Bids a Those who wa't on her voice say it has t qualit: of sound produced by the seashell. At the four ap pointed times each day, East 8t. Louisafis turn thei best ears sirenward an then comea*the voice that charms them. | It is this quality of voice that beguiles the men of East St. Louis, upon which the city now depends much for an increased population and a greater wealth of industry. That East St. Louis has the greatest whistle in the world ig due to the advertising gentus of Mr. Thomas. Discovery of a legend-old fact that the voice of the siren has an insidious attractiveness for men, has now inspired the men already caught with an idea. They mean to use the greatest siren in the world to entice, to allure, more men and more factories to East St. Louls. And they predict that, in the future, where the siren lifts her woman's bird-like voice, there will build the greatest manufacturing city in the world. St. Louis on the west bank of the Mississippi is thus in “the zone.” The greatest siren's voice penetrates the halls of power, te directors’ rooms, the noisy fa.- tory office, the lounging rooms of the St. Louis Club. If the East St. Louis idea works successfully for that city the prediction is made that St. Louis will buy a still larger whistle. Then Kansas City, rival of all rivals, would certainly out-whistle the St. Louis whistle !f possible. Chicago would have to turn her ears from the fog-horns of Lake Michigan and the sewage canal and put up a whistle to disturb Kan- sas City, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Pittsburg and Phil- adelphia. Cincinnati and Louisville might enter a whistle con- test of thelr own. .New Orleans and Mobile might get into the race. Belleville would contest with Valley Park. Frisco would vie with Portland and Seattle, and probably Honolulu with Hongkong. London and Edinburgh, Berlin and Paris, Rome and Bt. Peters- burg, all would have to get into the whistle war. And New York City would try to beat the world. » If developments prove the East St. Louis idea, that the siren voice fascinates and beguiles men, thus in- creasing population and building up industries, this mighty struggle of sounds might engulf the world with noise. In euch a contest, with the earth faaci- nated under a flood of auricular trembiors, the world might be buried in the sweet sounds and its end missed by failure of the people to distinguish Gabriel's call to the universe. _ Rut the principle being firmly established, that trade follows the whistle, nothing under the sun—not even the protests of Mars or of worlds whirling around some far-distant star—could stop the contest of siren voices. And the city having the whistle factory would have to provide sound-proof homes for its people. Ip fact, the world might give its sense of hearing in the struggle. Fast St. Louls has given birth to a startling idea.

The difficulty hitherto has been to construct motor of sufficient power to-guide the airship, a yet sufficiently light to allow itself to be lift: Santos-Dumont seems to have solved this proble The battle of the gas bag and the aeroplane not yet solved, however. Santos-Dumont has di “Others have solved the problem of aerial naviga- tion, and all | ean do is, if possible, to improve it. ‘The age of aerial navigation is no longer in the ix here,” comes Santos-Dumont, the hero of many an ascension and many a fall, with the assertion: “Next vear people will be able to go to the sea- will become the fad industry, fuiure: it And now shore in their aeroplanes.

In brief, the day is not far distant when the aeroplane, as a. means of locomotion, will replace in the air the bi- now cvele on the earth.” (Comte Henri de la Vaulx. in an article he wrote for the Sunday Post-Dispatch a vear ago, said the St. Louis vs. Jamestown Exposition. T. LOULS has been selected by the Aero Club as the point at which will be held the Inter- national Balloon Races in the contest for the James Gordon Bennett prize in 1907. Thus the situation in the United States resolves itself into a competition between the competitors for the Government prize at the Jamestown Exposition and the St. Louis contestants, More than that, however, the principle of successful aerial navigation is involved. Shall the balloon type, which will be used at St. Louis, prevail, or is the aeroplane, the “flying machine,” to carry off the honors? While St. Louis will use round balloons exclusively in the international contest, there is a division in the ranks of the flying machine experimenters. Some of them cling to the “aeroplane” idea and contend that navigation is most practical for travel and commercial purposes without and gas bag. Otners use a gas-bag and are driven by a motor. Santos-Durhont, who had been an ardent adherent of the gas bag theory, has recently gone over to the other faction. Thus, before the flying machine problem can be “solved.next year,” as predicted by Santos-Du- mont, a decision must be reached in the contest between the two types. carded the former for the Irtter, and it has the great merit of cheapness and portability; but Messrs, Deutsche, Zeppelin and Parzeval cling to the inflated balloon type.

While the vessels that go down at sea yearly num- ber in the hundreds and often thousands, the lives that are lost are comparatively few. Year after year the devices that are perfected to protect the lives of the passengers and sailors make the danger from wreck less and less. Throughout the entire year of 1905 there were no appalling fatalities such as marked the years previous. The present year has seen one severe wreck, steamer Valencia sinking off the coast of California and carrying down nearly one hundred of the passen- gers and crew. The loss of the Valencia was due to both storm and rocks. During the year 194 an unusually large number of accidents were accom- anied by a large loss of life—by far the worst acci- dent of recent years being the loss of the Scandi- navian-American liner Norge off the coast of Scot- land, over six hundred people drowning. To travel by sea, nevertheless, is by far safer than traveling by train, surface car or automobile.
