MENACE A GROWING ONE Idaho Citizens Demand That President Refuse Aid to ‘‘Un-Americans.”’

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—President Roosevelt directly charged in the Senate today with using influence for the election of Republican Mormon candidates in the recent election in Idaho and Utah. The charge was made by Senator Dubois in the course of a speech in which he discussed the right of Reed Smoot to a seat in the Senate. The address was of considerable length, the first portion being devoted to a review of the Mormon Church. Mr. Dubois asserted that polygamous ma2ar- riages were still heing contracted, al- though surreptitiously, and that an aristocracy of polygamists was being built up by the church officials, who now arrange and ‘select polyga- mous marriages. But record of polygamous marriages is kept, which is available for the American people. Be- cause of this, he pointed out the futil- ity of passing a national law prohibit- was his these no ing the aractice. As to Senator be no difference not a polygamist. Smoot, he said it may whether he was or was he says, “represents the “Smoot,”’ 'ehureh and not the State, and would do he chureh before of the interests cof the real State, or of the nation.

3 Two Business Houses and Lum- ber Yard Destroyed After Explosions.

ROBBERS ARE SUSPECTED

Attempt Thought to Have Been Made to Blow Hardware Store Safe.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ROLLA, Mo., Dec. 13.—The large busi- building at Eighth and (Pine streets, occupied by Schuman _ Bros, Mercantile Co. and Minium & = Spil- inan’s hardware and harness store, and the store building belonging to Mrs. D. W. Malcom, with all their contents, were destroyed by fire at 2:30 this morn- ing. The 2 School of Mines students, together with the citizens, put ladders against the National Bank Building, ad- joiaing, climbed .to the roof, braving smoke and flames, passed hundreds of buckets of water to the top, and saved the bank structure. Schuman Bros.’ lumber yard was also destroyed and several other buildings were damaged. The fire is thought to have originated in an attempt of robbers to blow the Schuman Bros. safe. Citizens were awakened by an ex- plosion which jarred every house in the city. This was followed by flames, which burst from the iwo buildings. There were four explosions in all. The building in which Schuman Bros. have their store is the property of A. S. Long, and it is estimated that their loss is at least $20,000, with $9000 insur- ance. The other losses are estimated as fol- lows: Schuman bBbros., stock and lum- ber vard, invoiced at $32,000, insured for $17,500: Miniumi & Spilman, hardware stock, $10,000, insured for $5500; Mrs. Malcom’s building, $09, insured for $2000.

There had been a previous ruling against the admissability of evi- dence of declarations after the will was signed, on the theory that if there was a conspiracy it culminated in the signing of the will.

An old man of 76 named Bellanger was murdered by his own daughter be- cause she was tired of keeping him. Bellanger was a wheelwright. His murderess is the youngest and was the favorite of his seven children, all of whom are earning their own living in different parts of the country. This @aughter, Dugenie, married a man named Faudoire a few years ago, and old Bellanger took his son-in-law into partnership and lived with the young ‘cowie. The family was comfortably off, trade was good and the old man had a little income of $60 a year. But as he grew old his sight got weaker, and about a year ago he gave up work, considering that his daughter, who had always lived with him, might well support him for the last few years of his life. She thought otherwise, and the poor old ™Man was grudged every spoonful of food, lived in an outhouse, and was told by his daughter daily that she wished he were dead. Husband Filed From Wife. He took to drink, and not unfrequent- ly his son-in-law would go and drink with him so as to avoid his wife's rasp- ing tongue. The old man and the young one often came home in a state of in- toxication, and when this happened Faudoire would sleep in his father-in- jlaw’s outhouse so as to avoid a scene with his wife. The scene came next day, however, and last week there were several. Kugenie Faudoire, declaring that her father had led her husband astray, that the work was suffering in consequence, and that old Bellanger, whether he liked it or not, must leave their home. The next night Faudoire came home completely drunk and slept in the out- house as usual. At 6 o'clock a. m.., while the old man was still asleep, the young one went to see the Mayor, told him that his wife had made up her mind to turn her father out of doors, and asked for his assistance. The Mayor promised to give old Bel- Janger som easy work In his garden and @ room to live in, and accompanied Fau- doire home to tel! the wife that he would take charge of her father. On the road the two men met Eugenie Faudotre, who told them that old Bellanger had hanged himself. Murder Evidence Found. All three went into the outhouse to- gether and found Bellanger lying on the fround dead. His face was purple, and round his neck was a broken rope. Eugenie Faudoire pointed to a screw in a beam on the ceiling, and said: ‘He hanged himself from that, and the rope must have broken.’’ The Mayor, not be- lieving this story, sent for a doctor, who found that old Bellanger had first been stunned with a maliet or a ham- mer, and then strangled. There were signs of a struggle in the room, there Was a wound on the back of the old man’s head. and round his neck were the marks of fingers. Bugenie Faudoire had evidently at- tacked her father from behind, stunned him, and strangled him. She had then hung the body from the beam, and the cord had broken. She denies -.verything and declares that her father committed suicide. But her husband has sworn before a Magis- trate that the night before he saw in his wife’s hand the card which was aft- erwards found round old Bellanger’s neck. Both Faudoire and‘ his wife have been arrested and are in Rambouillet Jail. Berezowski, the Pole.

BON! VERY SORRY SAVS HIS BROTHER Count Stanislaus Declares Re- ligion Will Prevent a Remarriage. By Leased Wire From the New York | Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—Count Boni de Castellane’s younger brother. Count Stanislaus, third son of the Marquis dé Castellane, who greatly resembles Mme. Gould's former husband, ar- rived here yesterday, accompanied by his Countess. She was formerly Se- norita Terry, daughter of Francisco Terry of Cuba, who also spends a con- siderable part of each year in his cas- tle, Chenonaceaux, Province of Tou- rane, France. The Count and Countess were ac- companied from Europe on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm by Senor Francisco Terry, father of the Countess, and her sister, Senorita Odette Terry. The Count said his brother, Boni, felt very sorry for what had happened between himself and the former Countess Anna, and had not been treated justly by the newspapers. Count Stanisiaus still hopes for reconciliation. “No, my brother is not coming to America,” he said. “At least, not at present. He is very sorry for what has happened. I think he will stop in France for some time. He cannot come to America to be an actor, a wine agent, a reporter or head waiter. He is in politics. “He is not going to marry a Count- ess. He could not do it if he wanted to, because it is ridiculous, and be- cause the Catholic religion does not permit him to marry a second time. I do not know if there will be a rec- onciliation. I cannot tell. I hope so, but I cannot tell. No, I have not seen Mme. Gould recently. “I am not going to see George Gould. No, no. I do not know him. I = Soing only to pass through New | ork.”’

his father the rest of the stock. The Witness had been a director during the lifetime of his father. ‘Are you still a director?’ asked Mr. Laurie. Director Without a Voice. “‘A director, yes; but I have no voice,” he said. “Who is there?’ “Schultz.”’ An objection cut off further testimony along that line. Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Cornelius have not spoken for 30 years, according to testi- mony given by Mrs. Bell Wednesday. She was asked what her feelings were toward the wife and children of Christian Cornelius and said: “The same as they have always been. I was never well acquainted with his wife. My father forbade me to recog- nize her 30 years ago, when I was a girl, and I have never recognized her since. I always recognize his children when I meet them, but the families have never associated.” “Your father took an Indian hoy into the family once, didn't he?’ asked Mr. the dummy director down on"? “What became of him?” ‘J don't know. Chris came Indian. Maybe he chased the away.’’ The witness said after the Indian that Chris had over- drawn his account $35,000 at the death of Christian Peper. Fred aid Cornelius each received a salary of $3000 a vear during the lifetime of Christian Peper. A question about increases of salary after the death of Christian Pener was objected to and the objection sustained. In the discussion of the objection Judge Ferriss, of counsel for the plaintiffs, said that Fred’s salary was increased to $15.000 and that of Corneiius to $12,000. The jury was excused ‘while the at- torneys argued the admissability of evi- dence touching the acts of Fred and Cornelius after the will was made. Mrs. Caroline Peper testified Tuesday that an estrangement from Mrs. Cornelius grew out of what she termed an attempt of Mrs. Cornelius to sepa- rate Christian Peper and his wife. _ Mrs. Bell said that her feelings toward Cornelius were the same as they had always been. Concerning her brother Fred, she said she felt sorry for him, but that she did not feel as friendly toward him as she did before he ‘‘acted as he has.” Mrs. Bell and her family lived at the Peper homestead during the | closing Vears of her father's life. She said that towara the last she had to care for lim as if he had been a child. He became Careless of his person, objected to his room being cleaned and would mot per- mit piles of newspapers in his room to be disturbed. Talked of “Travelers’ Retreat.” Her father, she said, contracied the idea that he had made most vf his money 50 years before conducting « tav- ern, the ‘Travelers’ Retreat,” and he chidded his children for not remem er- ing things that occurred before they were born. She said he feared tnat kid- napers were lurking about the place and Was anxious lest the removal of cecal and iron from the earth weuld aisturb its equilibrium and cause it to toppe and precipitate the inhabitants into Space, Mrs. Bell asked when the Peper will, said her first came from reading of it in Dispatch. “hristian Peper Buschman, ‘ of Christian Peper, undertook to testify and chew gum at the same Um».

HER. HUSBAND IN COURT > sce Had Her Locked Up When She Resisted Effort to Take Her Home. Apparently unaware of a stir her appearance and words created, Mrs. Lucile Clark of 1203 Chambers street swept to the stand in the Dayton Street Police Court Thursday and told how after an evening's dissipation, her husband, Michael] Clark, took her to the Carr Street Police Station, and how she engaged in a cell in a fight with another prisoner, Mrs. Nellie Herney, also a defendant in the court. Mrs. Ciark is a blond woman, of striking appearance. She is 24 years old. When she was led from the pris- oners’ cage she was attired in a long tan cloak and wore a big checkered hat with a black ostrich plume. Daniel Hogan, clerk at the Carr Street Station. was summoned and said Mr. and Mrs. Clark went to the Station at 1 a. m. Thursday. Mrs. Ciark, he said,

seemed not wholly responsible for her suutements, and the men in the station suggested that her husband take her home. Clark started to do so, so said, and Mrs. Clark began the disturbance which landed her in a celL Broke Woman’s Teeth. Hogan said he had not witnessed the fight in the cell. He had heard cries and shrieks. He was told, he said, that Mrs. Clark had broken the other woman's teeth with her fist, after which policemen separated the combatants. ‘My husband told me that he would not be home for supper,’’ Mrs. Ciark said, ‘an date with a lady friend. | “There were a number of other visit- ors at my friend's house, but I do not remember who they were.’’ “There were some men there?’ asked Judge Pollard. “Yes, but I can’t say who they were. We did grink some beer. Oh, I don't know just how much.’ “When I left the house I saw my hus- band waiting on the corner of Eight- eenth street and Cass avenue. Svme man who was passing said something I resented and struck me. I was angry and wanted to have him arrested, so I went with my husband to the police sta- tion. We made complaint at the station and as we left I had a quarrel with my husband. He dragged me back into the station and they locked me up. I didnt want to go in the cell and lI objected as strongly as I knew how. Fight in Cell. “Then that other woman got madgbe- cause I was making a noise and she called me names. She had been sleep- ing. She continued to talk and I struck her. My fist struck her somewhere In the face.’’ Mrs. Hervey, the other woman, against whom a charge of disturbing the peace had been made in connection with the fight in the cell, bean her tes- timonyv with the statement that Mrs. Ciark had broken her teeth. Judge Pol- lard asked her to open her mouth. She hesitated but finally complied Judge Pollard looked and smiled. 3 “Why, you can take those out,” he said : Mrs. mouth and closed swept up- ward teeth was placed Kach PEACEMAKER FAILED.

o--- - W WISCONSIN PUTS LOBBYIST HUT OF ACTION Badger State Is Giving the

| legislative reference department. months before the date of its meeting. He sends out to all the members letters asking what particular subjects of leg- islation they will be most interested tn, the subject and nature of bills they in- tend to introduce. Then he sets himself to the task of gathering information. When the Hon. John Jones of Tomah comes to take up his duties as a law- maker the chances are he. will call promptly on ‘‘Mac.”’ His political life may depend on the prospective action of the Legislature on a good roads measure or the m@tive of his interest in the sub- ject may be more lofty and public splr- ited. All kinds go to see ‘‘Mac.”’ He will be directed to a shelf in the There

curately indexed, complete information as to what.states have passed good roads laws, where bills for similar laws are under consideration, what bills on highway improvement have been intro- duced in the Wisconsin Legislature in the last eigbt or ten years, and what laws have been passed by it. There he will find copies and digests of the statutes of other states on good roads, leading cases involving the va- lidity of any features of these laws that have been the subject of litigation, the opinions of public men and experts as to the working of these laws or upon their defects, technical or theoreticat. In short, he will find the fruits of an exhaustive study of the subject ready to hand, a budget of information that he probably could not duplicate if he lceue to it the whole time of his legisla- tive term. He can go straight to any particular point as to which he is in doubt. This is what Doctor of Philpso hy McCarthy calls his ‘‘critical data. When the honorable member from To- mah gets through with the doctor's treasury of knowledge he will be able to present to the Legislature a fairly workmanlike piece of constructive statesmanship. The “Interests” Fear Him. This is a glimpse of McCarthy’s activ- s most commonplace phase. The a principle works out admirably in any complex piece of legislation, in sub-

| jects involving enormous interests, such

| as waterways and railroads, insurance, primaries, pure food. che affairs of mu- nicivalities, the relations of capital and labor or the conserving of the State's rich timber’and swamp land interests. It is in this fleld of weightier legisiation in fact, that the reference bureau gets its best licks, for there the lobbyist Is wont to be most active; there the Hon. John Jones is most apt to get into deep water, to find himself most poorly equipped in combating the efforts of a suave attorney and is apt most readily to yield to his wiles. The usefulness of the bureau, reckoned in dollars and cents, increases in direct proportion to the importance of the matters in which it is called into play. The. upshot of the bus'‘ness is that when the Legislature of Wisconsin

he wili fird) all neatly arranged and ac-

of all the world's previous experience. But McCarthy doesn’t content himself with this role. He makes of himsel! a sort of inverted Supreme Court. Part of his functions is to _ take the legislative and work them into harmony with the techni€ality-hunting, law-invalidating proclivities of certain learned occupants of seats on the bench. His doctrine is based largely On the “ounce of preven- tion” theory. He doesn’t quite see the wisdom of a governmental system that provides for a group of $10,000 a year ex- perts to find the weak places in laws that are put together ofttimes by sever- al score of poorly paid novices, He thinks a fair amount of care and

citizens who are keenly alive to the blessings of reduced taxation, but often a little slow to take interest in moral questions of government where the purse is not involved. Now comes the announcement by a correspondent of the Chicago Record- Herald that there is in operation in the Capitol at Madison one of’ the smooth- est-working, most economical machines for the protection of the interests of the public in the actual making of laws that was ever devised. The engineer in charge is Charles Mc- Carthy, and he is a figure more worthy | of study than his unpretentious, mod- est-salaried place .would lead one at first to belleve. He runs what is called the legislative reference department. That doesn’t mean anything until you analyze it. Then you find that it has saved the State of Wisconsin millions of dollars directly, that it has benefited tens of thousands of citizens of the commonwealth to an incalculable ! ton amount, that it has practically put the ee ae lobbyist out of business at Madison, and J ; / : that for. all these good things the tax- Loop the Loop, 50 inches long; : | ‘all metal; complete; payers have paid less than $6000 a year, and that for a very few years. cee eee He Is the People’s “Lobbyist.” * McCarthy—his intimates call him “Charlie,” the legislators call him Mac’’ and the few who know that. he may wear a “Ph. D.”’ after his ee Nt he please call him ‘‘Doctor’’—Iis the per sonal factor in an unusually happy com- bination of a scientifically political in- ‘ formation bureau, a politically scientific legislative department and a modest, well-informed, hard-headed Irishman, which has worked wonders. He doesn’t like to be called a “lobby- ist,”’ and he isn’t in the commonly ac- es meaning of the term, and yet it will be seen that he performs for the eople, in a judicial, nonpartisan, disin- erested way, many of the functions that prosperous and persuasive attor- neys perform for interests which seek . to mold legislation for private profits. | “Mac” is the guide, philosopher and. friend of the rural legislator. He is the man behind the searchlight ‘when it is desired by a true public ser. vant to have fllumined the .legislative byways that have been befogged by the real lobbyist or his more dangerous, because hidden counterpart. the legis- lator who serves special interests. It is he who furnishes by the bale facts and figures to refute specious arguments in : favor of a bad bill or to trundle over imaginary obstacles raised before a good | bill by the same selfish agents. It is in the intricate processes of _bill- tinkering, of law-building that the ‘‘fine work” of the lobbyist’ formerly was done in Wisconsin. That is where “Mac” stands guard.

The small chap’s father and mother, the only persons besides himself on the island, felt that if he could have a phy- sician, perhaps, his life might be saved. | Between them and the mainland there fell a blinding snow, swept by the icy nor’easter, but, moved by love for his §-year-old boy, Antonio Gomez, the fa- ther. determined to get to Portland and bring back a doctor, no matter what the hazard. Gomez is a frail little man, a Span- iard. and for many years has been care- taker of the home on Eagle Island of Commander Peary, the arctic naviga- tor. A small motor boat is used to connect with the mainland, and in this Gomez set out on the stormy sea. The tiny craft mounted high on a giant bil- low and was lost to view in the foam and snow. Gomez was hardly out of sight of the flag that floated over his cabin, Union down, as a signal of distress, when his engine became disabled. Forced back by the gale and huge waves, the motor boat struck a reef, capsized and Gomez was thrown into the sea. The boat was smashed into kin- dling wood, and the shipwrecked man’s onlv howe lay in getting back to the island. He was washed on the beach, where he lay, exhausted and numb, covered with icy spray. Sets Out in His Dory. The moment the plucky little man was on his feet he ran for his dory and once more set out for Portland, this time propelled by oars. It was a heartbreaking row in the face of the storm, which froze his wet cloth- ing to his thin body, and blinded him so that he was ever in terror that he 24 had lost his direction, but he pulled $2.15—Yarn- .

VALMEYER, Ill, Dee. 13.—Two masked men entered the bar of the Miller Hotel here between 2 and 2:30 o'clock this morning and after firing several shots into the floor, ordered the occupants of the room to throw up their hands and line up against the wall. George Hutter, a local barber, was the only man in the place who failed to comply with the command. He held a billiard cue in his hand in a threaten- ingmanner, and it was notuntil one of the robbers jabbed him in the stomach with a revolver and told him that ‘if he hesitated another moment he would never see another sun rise’ that he dropped the cue and raised his hands. After lining their victims up against the wall, one of the robbers covered them with a revolver while the other went through their pockets. In all the robbers obtained about $0 in cash and a plug of chewing tobacco When the robbers took the tobacco from Jack Dunn, a millwright, the lat- ter accused them of being a cheap out- fit. One of the highwaymen replied that they were up against it and needed all they could get. A number of citizens apd business men here say several attempts were made to enter their homes during the night. After the robbers left the ho- tel, L. Miller, the proprietor, notified the Iron Mountain road operator, J. W. Connors, of the robbery, and gave him a description of the men. The operator wired the description to di-

vison headquarters. OFFERED BIBLE FOR BATH. Highballs Made Man Think He Was John the Baptist.

He was inclined to let the nom- fnations stund as they were, and if the Senate did not confirm them before ad- journment he could then make recess appointments of them. He finally de- ‘ @ided, however, to withdraw the names and send them in anew. One thing that has caused criticism of the administration is the treatment of Secretary Shaw. It develops that the President sent in the name of Mr. Shaw's successor without having an un- derstanding with Mr. Shaw as to when he would retire. Mr. Shaw’s friends Bay that he would be warranted in ten- dering his resignation at once. WHO OWNS THE ISLAND? Wract of Land in the Missouri River Is Subject of Dispute. Bpecial to the Post-Dispaten.

Many Incidents Journey on Missouri and Mississippi.

What is probably the longest river trip on record, a journey of more than 4000 miles down the M.ssouri and Mis- sippi Rivers, was compleced Tuesda: when T. J. Wilson, president of the National Electric Construction Co., moored his houseboat, Edith, at the toot of Kraus street. With his wife and 6-year-old daughter and Roy Gib- son, his partner, the Captain, as he Se i oe CBR, ath 2 : 3 calls hintself, made the trip without | Bae meee i | ttt & POON a LORS Fer . to him in silence and with dismay manifest on their countenances the must hie re es a ‘ ‘ 4 ° . ? : ° > until he spoke of the Constittttion as if it were so much elastic to be stretched at will by those in temporary authority. last year.

Root sat down amid a perfunctory clapping of hands and in less than a minute an oppressive si- lence had fallen upon everybody, Then the president of the svvlcty, Jolin R. Van Wormer, introduced J.

Yet at the last, when he declared tat not only did the courts give commands to individuals, ‘“‘but even to presidents and congresses,’’ there came an uproar of hugzas and stamping of feet. The speaker threw all his might into these words, ‘“‘Even to presidents,"’ and the emphasis was not misunderstood. J. Pierpont Morgan forgot his dignity in the elation of the moment’ and pounded his table with his fist until glasses overturned and the champagne with which they haq been filled went Splashing upon everybody near him. Across the table from Mr. Morgan sat George F. Baer—'‘divine right Baer.’ In his exuberance over Justice Brown's ment of the Roosevelt adminis- tration he pounded the floor with his Morgan and Bacr were seated oppo- site each other.

It is too late to discuss the existence of Santa Claus. Civilization has decided that he exists. He is as real as any of the other creations of the mind and heart. Each Christmas makes his existence more positive. The only thing for civilized people to do is to see that he “makes good.” Kspecially in St. Louis is this duty to the little children paramount, because, through the generos- ity of Post-Dispatch readers, who are in every home, Santa Claus has been introduced to thousands of children who had good reason to doubt his existence. In the crowded tenements, where Santa’s sleighhells were seldom heard, their sound has become familiar during Christmas the great Festival Entertainments given as an act of hospi- tality by the well-to-do people of St. Louis in co-operation with the Post-Dispatch. This year, the intention is to make the manifesta- tion of the Christmas spirit, symbolized by Santa Claus, universal, An answer is to be given to the question: Shall there be a single home in St. Louis, how- ever lowly, or a single orphan asylum or hospjtal. where little children are eagerly expecting Santa Claus, that shall be overlooked by him? Shall any little child’s natural longing for a share in the (ood Saint’s favors fail of realization? The readers of the Post-Dispatch can and will an- Not In contributions, however

A Jarge addition to the fund will be necessary to meet this extra expense. Never have the good people of St. Louis failed to avail themselves of the opportunity and the privilege of making this great annual act of hospitality the suc- cess of the year. This Christmas a special appeal is made for the children. No one who can do so fail to respond to that appeal. Santa Claus must “make geod.” should a ow sil

It has all along been supposed that it was the high tariff that was saving the country from panics. —_ + CHURCH CRISIS IN FRANCE. The present very grave crisis in the religious life of France is the outcome of the vote for the separa- tion of church and state by the Senate Dec, 6, 1905. That vote showed 181 for and 102 against the pro-

posed measure. The Government took immediate steps to enforce the new law, but the evident unpopularity of harsh measures in carrying it into effect has caused de- lay. A large number of France’s most intellectual men, including Francois Coppee, Pierre Loti and other idealists left their libraries to head the mobs which gathered in protest of what seemed to them the grossest sacrilege. On the other hand, such exponents of realism as Zola went to the other extreme in their attempts to make the church odious and hasten the work ot disestablishment. Zola’s novel, ““lruth,”* published shortly before his death, is a special plea, written with vitriolic spirit, against ecclesiasticism, pictur- ing cltarchmen in the darkest colors, It doubtless contribut@largely to the present issue. Under the law which the Government is attempt- ing to enforce, the church authorities, as such, will not be free to administer the church properties, which will be controlled by “association cultuelles,” or corporations of worship, partly laymen and part- iv ecclesiastics. The Government claims that, under the regulations, it will be possible for the church to come into direct possession of the church prop- erties, but the bishops and priests deny this. It is the belief that the new order will mean church control by laymen, many of whom maybe enemies to religion, that is at the bottom of the crisis. In its broader aspect, as a dispute between the Papal See and the French Government, the question of disestablishment has become a political one. The Vatican claims that the concordat, or bi-latcra: contract signed by the respective heads of the French nation and the Catnolic Church has been disinterested manner in bringing about the separa- tion. If, determined upon disestablishment, the Government had said: “Take back your property and your liberty, respect the common law of the 1 have nothing more to do with you,” leading churchmen claim they would have been satisfied. But the State, they claim, has not really left the church free, nor respected property rights. country, and expect nothing more from me.

The Roosevelt-Storer storm is said to have blown away the red hat that was waiting for Archbishop lreland. >>. a THE FIRE TEST FOR HATS. Ordinarily, the St. Louis husband allows his wife great latitude in the matter of hats. His only con- As between Gainsbor- oughs, Dolly Vardens, toques, bonnets, sailors, cha- peaux, turbans and picture hats, he has been bliss- fully neutral, and he has not cared a tinkle-tink whether the trimming leaned to the pomological or ornithological, Of course, he would have resented a chicken or a pawpaw, but almost any other bird or any other fruit suited Rim if it suited her. But this happy disinterestedness in his wife’s hats ceases when the millinery becomes so highly inflammable as to burn at receptions and on the downtown streets, as it has been doing of late. One hat was fired by a spark while the wearer was jammed in an Olive street fire crowd; another went up in smoke at a reception, when the wearer got close to a candelabra. There have probably been many others unreported by reason of the newspaper habit of not inquiring into small fires. The fire test for hats seems imperative. The blow-torch such as painters and plumbers use has become quite inexpensive. Every lady should have one and take it with her when she buys hats. A very short test would suffice. It is observed in the reports of the fires that have occurred that tne superstructure of the hat is the most inflammable portion, most of them burning down to the hull and then going out. This advises looking well to the trimming with the blow-torch. Feathers which merely curl the tighter in heat are not real ana are consequently safe,

Fruits which only shrivel are all right, but those which become distended may be regarded as ex- plosives and rejected, Indeed, so far have the ladies violated confidence in this matter, it would seem advisable for the hus- band to go along and personally conduct the test. their hue are artificial] + _— PAID $1000 FOR NEWSPAPER. From the Boston Herald. During the slege of Kimberley, in the Boer war, the editor of the only daily paper there was often hard put to find enough news. One day, in a club- room he found Cecil Rhodes reading a fairly new paper from Cape Town. He borrowed it and rushed to his office, where it soon appeared as a special edition, selling like hot cakes. That same evening he met Mr. Rhodes, who inquired: “‘Where’s my Cape Town paper? “Oh, I cut it up for the printers,” was the reply. ‘Please don’t do that again,’’ said Rhodes, mildly. “That paper came through by m&- tive runners, and cost me §$1000.’’ PUNCH’S JOKE ON AMERICANS.

ILLITERATE, AFFECTED GIRLS | A Comment on Letters Written for the Post-Dispatch. By Betty Vincent.

TT HREE young men readers have jointly written me this flerce arraign- T ment of the modern girl: “Being young men who have come in contac the opposite sex, and knowing whereof we speak, we can truthfully say that of the girls we have met up to date all have ben tried and found grievously wanting. Why is it that the general run of girls, with a possible exception here and there, are all so empty, illiterate, affected, mentally impossible? Although we have attended balls, musicales and other soctal functions given by the differ- ent church societies to which we belong, all of which are largely attended by the opposite sex, in spite of all these favorable opportunities we have failed to find any to conform with our ideals of intellectual womanhood? I can only tell these young men that they are very unfortunate in their ac. quaintances. I fancy they are very young. I know that when I was very young, with the arrogance born of wearing a few medals at school, I cherished the belief that women in general were nt intellectual beings. Year after year, day after day, I have had this foolish notion knocked on the head by contact with other women, nearly all of whom surprised me by their good sense and judgment. There are foolish women, of course, J less you know a woman well you have no right to classify her among them. Women hide their real thoughts, their real selves, from men. The idea that man prefers a foo! is still so generally prevalunt as to make any woman unable to classify in the fool category chary of showing It. Don't be so hasty in judging young women.

From the Chicago News. H OW Prince Louis book by Sir Evelyn Wood, who took part in that war. The little party which the Prince accompanied was surprised and attacked. Sir Evelyn writes: ‘The /Zulus in pursuit ran first after the two | white soldiers who were on the flanks, | three or four men, headed by Labanga, ‘folowing the Prince. His horse had ‘jumped as he was mounting and his sword fell out of its scabbard. He was very active and was vaulting on his horse in motion when the wallet on the ‘front of the.saddle broke away and he fell to the ground, being at this time only 6 yards behind the (British) fugi- tives. There were seven men who actu. ally fought the Prince. When Lan- ' galebele, pursuing the fugitives, first saw Labanga, he was running away from the Prince, who was rushing at him. Labanga, crouching in the grass, threw an assagai at him. The first as- Sagai stuck in the Prince’s thigh, and, withdrawing it from the wound, he kept his foes at bay for some minutes. In the native’s words, ‘He fought like a lion; he fired two shots, but without effect; and I threw an assagai at him which struck him, as I said at the time, but I always allowed Labanga’'s claim to have killed him, for his assagai hit the Prince in the left shoulder, a mor; tal wound.’ ”’ Napoleon was An incident of the great typhoon at Hongkong Sept. 18, according to the Telegraph of that city: “The steam- ship San Cheung, Capt. McGinty, was lying at her wharf, when the full force of the typhoon struck her. She was en- tirely at the mercy of the bumping junks alongside. Her port and star- board bows were stove in between the junks, floating beams and the wharf. It was not long before she filled with water and after rolling about helplessly turned over to port and then settled down. Immediately afterward she broke her back and at 12:30 p. m, there was but little more than her funnel and the deckhouse visible above the water. Capt. McGinty was on board and stood by her till the last moment, but when she broke her back and there was nothing further for him to do he grabbed the ship's papers and with the aid of a rope and a bamboo he man- aged to get ashore, though he returned later for some other papers whieh he wisked to secure. The owner was standing on the wharf near his vessel and when he saw her turn over and break he wis heard to murmur: “Fruity thousand dollars gone for one hour's storm!’’ And then he fainted,

The St. Louls Earthquake of 2406, The New Madrid quake has shown us what possible here. It is without parallel in history. So, all things considered, what the doctor says is important. We may have fears of it, and hopes. Indeed, there 8 more reason we should rejoice than there igs we should be cast down. The topography of Missouri is not wholly satisfac tory. A good earthquake could remedy a great ny defects. The Ozarks are not high enough, the west Sg ern part of the State is too flat, the whole State fF) should slope upward toaculmination at Jefferson ¢ City, the sunken lands in the southeast should restored, the Glen Echo golf course should be a little more rugged, Missouri should be elevated a whole considerably above the surrounding sta so she can see what is going on and catch up, | St. Louis levee should be raised above high-water mark and Creve Coeur Lake should be made larger and deeper.

The Confederate Monument. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read in the Post-Dispatch of Sun- day the idea of the D. O. C. for a monu- ment in Forest Park to be erected to the memory of the brave men who fought on the Southern side against the noble cause of union, liberty and jus- tice, and the flag that floats over the land of the free and the home of the brave. I would like to ask: Do you think such a monument could be looked af with pride by the lovers of union and justice and who are proud of the grand cause of union and liberty purchased at sO great a cost, or would it be pointed at with scorn and bring to the mind and heart of the coming generations a feeling of bitterness and scorn when its history is told? It surely could bring no other feeling. If the D. O. C. wish to put up such a monument, let it be in the South, where it belongs, in a cemetery where the dead heroes are buried, and not in Forest Park, where floats the flag they fought and died to pull down and which never would have waved over this land had they gained the victory. Why should such a monu- ment be erected here? St. Louis is xot & Southern city, and never was. Do you think New York, Boston or Chicago, or any city north, east or west, would listen to such an idea? No, they are too loyal to their own honored dead to al- low any monument to be erected to the memory of those who fought against them.

BYRON AND MARY CHAIWORTH. I saw him stand Before an altar—with a gentle bride; Iler face was fair, but was not that which made The starlight of his boyhood. HE name of George Gordon, Lord Byron, conceded by all but college lecturers on literature to be the greatest lyric poet of the English language, W45 aur ing his brief and stormy lifetime associated with so * many women that were it not for his own deification of his first love, Mary Anne Chaworth. in his peautiful poem, “The Dream,” it would be difficult to discriminate among them, The first love of the heart, like the first wine from the bottle, is usually fit only to be poured out, that rarer and BUTTONS AND THEIR CHARM. N ORDER to command the proper attention among the fair sex of this town | you've either got to dispense your coin with a great and glad abandon or else you should belong to the National Guard or some other purely or- Jj namental body and wear some kind of a spangled regalia, The feminine affinity for the uniformed male is passing hard to analyze. An 18-year-old girl is always mad tc cull a few foundry buttons off the coat of a Second Lieutenant. Yet she never manifests a like attitude toward the rear flazman on a passenger train, although the flagman likewise wears the brass knobs and and draws about eighteen a week more than the Second Lieutenant. The West Pointer, in gray, is to her a perfect dear. The letter carrier, also in gray. is a common dub. A large human, or almost so, advertisement for a Aentist wins no plaudits with his green trousers. But how different with a Russian Prince, dressed the same way, except not in such good taste, who- speaks our language with @ liquid and effervescent effect, something like a Chink laundryman spraying the. bosom of a shirt through his front teeth. He is gladly welcomed into the most exclusive homes and permitted to siphon his disicated remarks inte the faces of our best and therefore our richest families. Young women just back from Europe spoke admiringly of the adorably cute little cap which German cavalry officers wore. But now when they see it crowning the troubled portico of a St. Louls street sweeper they don’t think it’s cute; they think it's acute. And so it is, The inner aspect of the other phase of the situation is easier to work out. In older and perhaps happier times man paid his tribute to womanhood in the gent’e deeds of chivalry, such as knocking the block off another gentle- man wit a steel mallet. Chivalry being a dead card at present, the gentie- man is at perfect liberty to walk all over his lady companion getting off a car providing he begins spending his week's salary out loud as soon as they hit the asphalt. Depend upon it, fellow-sufferers, the ladies’ exchange of this large depart ment store is not for you if handing out a ten-spot for a luncheon for tw® gives you the same kind of pang that comes when you have a jaw-tooth pulled. - The disbursement should be accomplished without visible signs ef an- guish, or else you do not belong on the expensive side of Vandeventer avenue, You should move to East St. Louis and live on Collinsville avenue. Remem- ber, when a St. Louis maiden refers to a man as a “peach” she doesn’t mean the cling variety. , The main reason St. Louls women like to ride in cabs is they’re highly expensive. If somebody ever put in a line of 6-cent cabs on Olive street, with transfers to all crosstown cabs, there'll be no room any more for men on the street cars, Personally the lady may prefer fried rabbit, but she'll want you to buy her a golden pheasant because it comes from China er somewhere arrd cost about 30 cents a feather. A good meal for half a dollar in a dairy lunch never satisfies her cravings as does a poor meal for the price of a win- ter overcoat In a large hand-painted hotel having only pillars and adamant waiters.

But in Byron’s case his first youthful infatuation for a young woman two years his senior seems to have been the abiding passion of his life. At any rate, he preferred to have us think so.

Byron went to Cambridge. In March, 181%, his first volume of poems, ‘Hours of Idleness,”” was printed and fiercely attacked by Lord Brougham in the anne burgh Review. The venom of the attack stung Byron to the metrical satire, “English Bards and Scotch Reviewers,” which upon its publication gave vise to his well-known speech, “I awoke one morning and found myself famous. At once he was the hero of London society. Women were mad about him. Lady Jersey and Lady Caroline Lamb, whose husband, Lord Melbourne, after- ward became Prime Minister, disputed his favor.

He intended stopping off here today on his way to Frisco, but instead he landed in Chicago and will hurry on to meet the Coast De- fenders, Since he has started talking fight once again the heavyweight atmosphere is darkened by an ominous black cloud that threatens to break into a and throw the elements into confusion. Diminutive Arthur Johnson, who would have been a dwarf had he been pre- vented from growing the last seven feet of his height, is growing restless, After hearing what an average fight was put up by Messrs. Burns and O'Brien in Los Angeles for the alleged heavyweight championship of the world, the elon- gated stick of charcoal lost no time in yanking out his pugilistic razor and walking ‘‘dat levee ‘round’’ to look for the bully that must be found, Jonathan Johnson appreciates the fact that he is no slouch when compared to the lily- white slashers of his class, and is begin- ning ta feel anxious. He is itching for a chance to write ten counts upon the car- cass of some reputable white heavy with his natural ink. Rickard Was Impressed. Eastern advices state that Tex Rick- ard was favorably impressed with John- son's form when he saw the big shine work a few days ago in the East and has offered him a substantial purse to box Tommy Burns at Goldfield. The offer was a few cents shy of a million dollars and Jack has taken the matter under advisement. The latest thunder- bolt coming from the Johnson boy's di- rection is a guarantee on the part of the chocolate eclair to put Jack O'Brien away in 20 rounds. Whether this is a phoney proposition or not it is not ex- actly the proper caper to put these two men in the ring together when it is considereq that their weights and physical measurements differ as widely ‘4s colors. O’Brien would look like a grasshopper in the same ring with Ar- thur. If Johnson would: be such a great opportunity for the O’Brien sup- porters to make capital out of, John- son's advantage in size that victory would avail the negro little or noth- ing. And as to Jeff. _ There is also some talk (not above a whisper, however) of trying to get Jeff into the ring with the shifty child of the tropics. This would probably look more like a real match than anything that has been proposed thus far. But nature has put a further jinks on the heavyweight match making game by tinting Johnson’'s.. body a dark. black color. If Jack was white we might try to bull Jeff into taking him on, but un- der the present conditions wé must bear in mind that the retired champion is over 21, and accordingly has a right to choose for himself. f he thinks it is worth while to dally with the dark meat, well and good,, If not, well and good again. ‘As Charley Houghton says, “A wooden-legged man could never do a hundred yards in 10 seconds,’’ so we have to let it go at that. Just bear in mind that if this nigger comes out of the woodpile minus all traces of yellow ochite there will be something stirring. On the Mat Friday Night. The Fred Beell-Charies Rogers catch- as-catch-can .wrestling match, . which fs to be decided in Chicago on Friday night, is causing considerable interest emong lovers of the mat game. Beell, as champion,, will "work like a Trojan to defeat his big opponent as quickly as possible, but, as he will be handi- capped,by at least fifty pounds and by over seven inches in height, the friends of Rogers say the champion will have to do his. best to win. Rogers has been hard at work since he deieated Charles Delivuk, the Aus- trian c.ampion.’ The latter and William Demeira: will clash in the semi-windup at Greco-Roman. Arrangements are under way to take moving pictures of the main event, which will be a novelty in that line. Mike “Twin” Sullivan, the New Eng- land fighter, is so cunfident that “Young Donohue,” the Boston lightweight, can best Jimmy Britt in a 20-round bout that he has posted a forfeit of $500 in _ Francisco to bind the match. Don- ohue has a slim chance of getting on wits Britt, for the latter says he will not fight anyone but Battling Nelson or Joe Gans. Donohue has been winning fights in Canada during the last few storin | ) bility that such a contest may be ar- ranged before many seasons go by. With Harvard about to retire from athletic sports Yale’ has only one rival on the gridiron, Princeton. One big foot- ball game jis hardly enough and Chicago is mentioned favorably for the other contest, Chicago is willing and it remains for Yale to Make the advances. It is not likely such a game will be arranged for next season, but there is the possibility for it. If Yale were taken or. it would go a long way toward satisfying the Maroon alumni, who are up in arms because Chicago doesn't play anybody—meaning Michigan by ‘“‘anybody."’ Michigan is the logical opponent for Chicago, and the alumni are disgusted with reforms which do not reform anything except the Chicago football schedule and force the Maroon to be placed in the position of playing only teams for which defeat is certain. Only one real team was on Chicago's schedule this year, Minnesota. Minnesota is not in the same class as an attraction with Michigan. Michigan is the’ one “big game’’ and the alumni are going to try to get a game if it is possi- ble. They believe that they have a right to have a voice in the arrangement of the schedule, declaring that the ideas of a few faculty Members should not pre- vail over the great body of alumni. Aside from this there is a provision for alumni representation in the athletic government of the university and the want to have this representa- Fourteen boys have entered for the first amateur boxing and wrestling tour- nament of the season at the Olympic A.

FOOTBALL RULES TO BE DISCUSSED Committee Scheduled to Meet in New York to Talk Over Changes. What will probably be the last meet- ing of the Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee as at present constituted has been called for Saturday, Dec. 22, in New York City. The meeting will be held at Murray ,aiill Hotei. The meeting is unlikely to make any changes in the rules, however. but it is probagle that the whole field will be covered and ;:xeral recommendations passed. The main question that will come up is that of whether or not another down shall be allowed to gain 10 yards or whether a compromise is not advisable. There Is a distinct difference of opinion as to whether or not a fourth down Shall be allowed. Yet the absolute in- ability of a team to gain ground by any form of straight running has been

so emphasized in games between elev- ens of nearly equal strength that some relief is demanded. WOMEN STOP RAT KILLING.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The managers of the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden closed their ticket of- fices at 9 o’clock last night because no more men and women could be jammed into the place, and crowds fought vain- ly to get in, while the police forced them back. Hours before the admission had been raised to a dollar, but instead of stopping them it seemed to attract the multitude. Ticket speculators sold out their stock at $3 each. One of the worst spills of the race occurred at 7:25 o'clock. Ten of the 13 The riders went down in a smashup. spill came after a mad sprint in which Fogler was prominent. Eddie Root was picking up his part- ner, Fogler, when the latter’s wheel was run into by Matt Downey. In a sec- ond there was a crash and the thousands of people who had remained in the gar- den during the night saw 10 of the rid- ers scattered over the track. The po- lice and spectators jumped on the track and helped to pick up the fallen and stunned riders. Vanoni of the French-Italian team was thrown over the protecting fence into one of the boxes. He sustained painful injuries, including a gash on his thigh, and Hollister of the Salt Lake City team was said to be suffering from a possible fracture of the skull. The race was suspended for quite a while. and the injured men were carried to their quarters. In the meantime a corps of carpenters hurried to repair the track, which = ripped and torn or fully twenty yards. : I in men who fell were Ho,lister, Matt Downey, Fogler, Coffey, Rutt, Wiley, Emil Georget, Stol, Vanoni and Wal-

The crowd hissed Root and Hollis- ter, but they did not fall intentional- lv, However, I know that there are several riders on the track who are ready to fall if their chances to win become endangered by a sprint. A few of the men left in the race are feeling the effects of the nieht and day peddalling since early Monday morning, and are prepared to resort to tricks of the sort to keep with the circling bunch. Matt Downey started a sprint and got over a third of a lap away. His part- ner, Moran, relieved him immediately, but the “‘pick-up’’ was a bad one. At that, however, Moran tncreased Down- ey’s lead to three-quarters of a lap. Then just as he seemed bound to catch up with the trailers and take the lead in the race Wiley fell in front of the judges’ stand, carrying Clark and Emil Georget with him. All three were bad- ly bruised, especially Georget. To Wiley’s credit, however, be {ft gaid, that he started the falling mass with no malicious intent. He was in the center of a group that closed in on him. There was more commotion over Downey's attempt to secure the lead than at any other time in the race. All the resting riders were dragged froin their quarters to relieve their partners. A few r#inutes after this Moran jump.- ed to the front again, but a tire on his wheel burst and he tumbled down the high bank carrying Rutt, Samue!son and Logan with him. Rutt escaped injury, as did Samuelson and Logan, though Samuelson’s front wheel was broken In two. Moran was not so fortunate, being. badly bruised and scratched on his back.

COLLINS SEEMS TC BE FOR ST. LOUIS Boston Third Baseman Is Ap- parently Landed by McAleer for Next Season.

OTHERS ARE AFTER HIM

Ban Johnson and Comiskey. Make Up and Settle Old Differences. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Just now it seems quite certain that the once incompar- able third baseman, Collins of Boston. is for St. Louis in 1907. At this instant McAleer has him in escrow somewhere, while John E. Bruce of Cincinnati, a stockholder in the St. Louis club and a close personal friend of the absent Hedges, now among the Aztecs, is in conference with the Boston club owners. Connie Mack of Philadelphia and Joe Cantillon of Washington, are McAleer'’s competitors in this affair at the Amer- ican League meeting here. They are worthy foes. Cantillon has Henry Kil- lilea, the Milwaukee barrister, former owner of the Boston club, a rare, shrewd fellow and a bitter foe of St. Louis, working on John I. Taylor for him. Mack has little to offer and seems bound to finish a poor third. Cantil- lon, upon the other hand, has a man whom Boston wants—Jake Stahl. Mean- while McAleer has Collins. Bruce holds the line against the re- sourceful Killilea. He said Boston wanted much more than Collins was worth, and was plying him in devious ways that he might in a wine-won ac- cession of foolish generosity give it. Truth to speak, Collins is a rather risky proposition. He is a Falstaff in flesh, fully 30 pounds above playing weight; then his knee is under grace suspicion, his demands and those of his club great. and the entire proposition com- LADIES SEE GOOD SPORT AT M.

The gymnast as well as the swimmer is an object of feminine appreciation or least he is since the entertainment given Wednesday evening in the gym- nasium of the Missouri Athletic Club. It being ladies’ night, the program had been changed from the setting of the Cherry Diamond pool to the floor of the gym and there the business men’s classes succeeded in entertaining and pleasing. The feature of the evening which ap- pealed most to the ladies was the reg- ular class exercise with the medicine ball. Much merriment was evoked during the staging of this part of the program and it will without doubt be- come one of the features of evening entertainments. Gwynne Evans won the championship of the club for the high jump, over Frymark and Mattis. Evans cleared 69 inches. Two sparring contests took place, but these were so evidently put on for the benefit of the ladies as to be rather uninteresting, although the 1]a- dies applauded vigorously.

IC WOODPILE/MOAGAN GOES IN FOR BOSTON DOGS Pays Big Price for Two Prize ~ Winners in That Class.

MAY BE SHOWN HERB

Myron W. Robinson, known the world over as the owner of the finest Boston terriers in existence, has sold to J. P. Morgan Champion Junior II and champion Lady Dainty, two of his prize winners. Both have won many prizes and are the leaders in their classes. In her class Lady Dainty stands alone. She has retained the champion- ship for the past four years. For these two handsome dogs Mr. Morgan paid several thousands of dollars. Whether the great financier will exhibit his new acquisitions at the next St. Louis dog show is prob- lematical, but it is earnestly hoped by dog fanciers that the change of ewn- ers will not prevent the exhibition of these high-class dogs, To have such fine specimens retired would be a loss to bench shows. Mr. Robinson for many years has beep an ardent lover of the dog. At his kennels at Englewood he has bred and raised the finest Boston terriers in the world. His interest in them is purely for the love of them. For the same reason that A. G. Vanderbilt and other wealthy men in- terest themselves in horse shows, My- ron Robinson enthus8es over the dog. At the recent Boston Terrier Spvecialty Show at Boston, his entries were ad- judged the best of the 500 entered. With Junior II and Lady Dainty, Mr. Morgan makes hia debut as the owner of the Boston terrier. His suc- cess as a breeder of collicg is well known. At recent dog shows his en- tries have been riveled only by those of Samuel Untermeyer. To Look After Franchises.

TWO DEAD, TIED TOGETHER Father Lashed Son to Himself, Hoping to Escape Flood. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 13.— With the body of his 5-yvear-old boy firmly tied to his own, the body of Charles Headrich was recovered today from the Hiawassee River, one and 4 half miles below McCoy’s. Headrich and his boy were drowned on the night of Nov. 18. A sudden flood caught them within a small house near the river bank and escape was entirely cut off. The drowning occurred at McCoy's, a tewn in Polk County, near Benton, the county seat. The supposition is that when Head- rich saw there was no escape from drowning, except a possibility of swim- ming ashore, he tied his boy to his back ana fastened him there by sev- eral strands of stout rope and plung2d in the water. The effort failed and father and son died . Sempetner. Gold Ore ! Assays | $60.

One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti- pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will eure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothihg of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to te imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. * To the credit of the druggists of the-United States be it said that nearly all of them value thei? reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine—Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

These remon- strances, it is poss'ble, have come only from persons who live on the streets which the promoters want to use, but they have been overwhelming in num- ber ard strength. “In favor of the bill there has been only the unsupported plea of the pro- moters. i read in the newsvapers ythat the residents in De Hodiamont at a public meeting have passed resolutions in favor of the measure, but no such resolutions have reached the Railroad Committee. Unless a very decided de- mand for the bill is plainly shown to the Rallroad Committee I shall oppose a favorable report on the *measure. My private opinion is that the promoters of the measure have practically given up hope of obtaining the franchise.”’ Protests against the elevated railroad are still coming to the committee. At a meeting of the Carondelet Business Men’s Association, held last Tues@ay, the following re solution was adopted. ‘Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting. that this association place it- self upon record as being unalterably opposed to the construction of any ele- vated railroad in Carondelet, and we furthermore oppose the construction of an elevated road in the city of St. Louis as being unsightly, destructive to prop- erty values and thoroughly impractica- ble as to present needs.’ SEVENTEEN HURT ON IRON MOUNTAIN _ — —— elevated come to the Passengers Fall Into Water When Train Is Ditched Near Neelysville, Mo.

The wasted body cries owt for food ma- terial to repair the loss of body tissues, If care is not used, the weakened digestive oe may be overwhelmed before they have become strong. There is no food that has the tissue- building and energy-producing qualities equal to Grape-Nuts. This food is predigested—the organs are relieved of the necessity of digest- ing it; it is concentrated—affording much nourishment with little bulk; contains all the essential food elements for repair and energy. It is therefore valuable under conditions of health as well as convalesence. A California young lady leagned the truth about Grape-Nuts. She writes: “About four vears ago I had a severe attack of typhoid fever. After recov- ering I had a wild longing for food which nothing seemed to satisfy. “T tried the best of every thing, but was always weak and hungry.

WILL HAVE TWO BOARDS. So St. Louisan Slated to BeChair- man of New York Directorate. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 13.—During the last few months reports have been cur- rent and have been given publicity in the press of Europe, the United States and Mexico to the effect that negotia- tions were pending by which the Gov- ernment was to secure control of the Mexican Central Railway as a conse- quence of the readjustment of . the finances of that corporation. It ia true that the negotiations of this: nature have been in progress for some time past, and it may added that they have been broken off. on three sep- arate occasions owing to the refusal of the Mexican Government to enter into the deal, except on certain defined lines. The Mexican Herald authoritatively announces that the completed operation is much larger and more comprehensive than the mere readjustment of the finances of the Mexican Central Rail- road in such form as to give the Mexi- can Government control of. that prop- erty, but that it involves the merger and consolidation of the Meican Ceén- tral and the Natjonal.lines of Mexico, which, if‘'the, deal goes through, . will become the property. of a single: new company which will be’ Mexican and have its headquarters in. Mexico, and in which the Mexican “Government. owns an absolute majority of shares, which it is said will be in the neighborhood of $225,000,000 gold. T'wo Classes of Bonds. The new company will issue two classes of bonds, prior lien bonds and sécond mortgage bonds. According to the projected scheme, ‘the Mexican Government will guarantee the’inter- est and a sinking fund on.the second mortgage only. The. net earnings of the Mexican Central and Mexican Na- tional at the present times are suf- ficient to meet the liability. ‘A syndi- cate, including such firms as Speyer &°Co.; Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Ladenburg, Thalman & Co.; Hallgarter & Co., New York, and other banking houses of London, Paris and Berlin, has been @rganized to buy the bonds of the company at a given figure and then offer them in exchange to the holders of the present securities of the Mexi- ean Central and Mexican National. The new comnany will have its main Board of Directors in Mexico City, but will also have a local board in New York City, and of the latter it is stated that H. Clay Pierce of St. Louis qwill be chairman. .cheese for himself.

LITTLE ONES ARE HAPPY

They Had Not Seen Mrs. Cottle Since Her Arrest and Wel- comed Her. a eed

Mrs. Alice Cottle, who since Nov. 10 has been confined in the Four Courts awaiting action by the grand jury which investigated the death of Albert H. Lus- ter, the peddler whom Mrs. Cottle ad- mitted being with in a lonely trysting place when he_ received the’ gunshot wound which caused his death, spent Wednesday night with her husband and family of seven children at her old home, 2416 Dickson street. The grand jury failed to indict the woman and Cg cuit AlLlLurney Sager ordered her reiea... What took place when Mrs. Cottle walked into her old home and greeted her husband, they will not tell. But there has ‘been a reconcillation. Cottle and the children say everything has been forgiven and she will remain with them. Her home-coming was the cause of great rejoicing among the younger chiidren who have not fully understood the cause of their mother’s absence from home, On account of the Jail rules, they have not been permitted to visit her, as have the older members of the family— the two grown daughters and the two grown sons, Mrs. Cottle was overjoyed when in- formed by her attorney, James Shaner, that the grand jury had failed to indict her, and that she was free to leave the Jail, but there was a look of disappoint- ment on her face when she walked into the Jail office and found no one there to greet her. Met Daughters on Street, Early in the afternoon her two daugh- ters viesited her, and they were told that it was probable that she would be released during the evening. They prom- ised to be on hand, but at 5 o’clock, the hour of Mrs. Cottle’s release. the two young women were still some blocks from the Jail. It was by chance that they met their mother. Then they ac- companied her to their-home. “At the Cottle home Thursday morn- ing Mrs. Cottle denied herself to all call- ers. A_ Post-Dispatch reporter was met at the door by one of the younger boys, who declated that’His: mother’ was not at home, and that he did not know where she could ‘be found. The boy called his elder sister. Both of the girls came to*the door. The elder said that it would be impossible to see her moth- er. : “We wish to have this affair’ forgotten as speedily as possible,’’ said the elder girl. ‘‘We will try to forget it. Every- thing is all right here. We were all glad to see mother released because we knew that she was not guilty of the charge against her. She will remain right here and be the same as she al- Ways been. My sister and myself met her and accompanied her home. We did not get to the Jail in time because we did not know the exact hour at which she would be released. Mother has noth- ing to say.”’ When Mrs. Cottle entered the Jail she was broken in mind and body. When she left it she was in good spirits, her eye was bright and her step was firm. To Mrs. Mary Dawson, the Jailer’s wife, she said that she attributed her g00d health to the kind treatment she received while a prisoner and the furth- er fact that, knowing that she was inno- cent, she expected to be released as soon as the. grand jury had investigated the death of Luster. Being In Jail Not Unpleasant. When ‘she shook*hands' with Mrs.

Dawson, the assistant.matron, and the Jail guards after her release, Mrs. Cot- tle said: si “You: have all been verv kind to me and I ‘thank: you from the bottom of

my heart. I hayesyénjoved your com- pany very much, an@ Mrs. Dawson, I shall return»to visit you. Being in Jail, aside from being a prisoner charged with a grave crime, is-not what I had pictured it before I came here. I learned to like'the people and I want to count them ‘among my friends in the future. Mrs. Cottle. snent her time wiille In Jail reading books. and chatting with Mrs. Dawson .and;.the Jail guards. Everything possible. was done to make it nleasant for her and to relieve her mind of the strain upon it. Her daugh- ters were permitted to be with her one hour each day. Every few days they brought her clean clothing and took away her soiled linen, so that when she received word that she was free to leave the Jail there was but a small bundle of her personal belongings to be car- ried away. ; Mrs. Cottle was accused of implication in the shovting of Albert H._ Luster, who died in the City Hosfpital a few davs after being wounded. Luster was shot in the back on the afternoon of Nov. & at a lonely spot near Union ave- nue and Bircher road while keeping an appointment with Mrs. Cottle. That she met him Mrs. Cottle did not deny, but she protested that she did not know who shot him. Her strange ac- tions, however, followine the wounding of the,man brought suspicion on her. She walked away when she saw him totter and fall on Union avenue, and when she returned home said nothing about the shooting, although she in- sisted that her husband knew that she had an appointment with Luster. This the husband denied and her arrest fol- lowed. The shooting is still a mystery. police say 4 stray shot from a hunte rifle may have killed Luster Theories, But No Facts.

GEST SILO. CAMP 1S CRYING FOR RAILROADS —_-—— Goldfield’s Progress Awaits the Advent of Modern Trans- portation.- ——— ane MINING BOOM IS GREAT —a ned Possibilities of Wealth Increase as the Depths Are Explored.

—EE— GOLDFIELD, Nev., Dec. 11.—Goldfield has struck a steady boorn, writes the Goldfield correspondent of the Philadel- phia Record. There is no longer any uncertainty as to its future. It is to- day the principal camp in Nevada, and hose who constitute its picturesque and bustling population claim that it is the greatest gold camp the world has ever known, exceeding all that Cali- fornia ever had to offer in the palmy days of ‘49. The streets certainly look it. They are full of people, whose one great—almost sole—subject, is the sale of mining stocks. Business places are crowded, but business can- not keep stride with the demands made upon it, so rapid has been the growth of. the town. Goldfield has only one railroad and that a poor one, and it must walt the advent of others before it can strike true gait of settled growth. Meanwhile the possibilities of the wealth, which is its reason for existence. grow as the process of mining explores the underlying depths. It has been dis- covered that the ore values increase the deener down from the original findings shatts are sunk. Recently a _ leaser Struck the vreatest values yet ata depth of 430 feet. where a ledge showed a width of five feet and assayed $838 to the ton. A year ago stocks in one of the groups sold at 14 cents a share. This fall they rose to $4, now they are selling at $18. About three thousand five hundred tons of ore a week are being shipped from here now. One of the two richest leases is said to be producing $2,000,000 worth of ore a month, and the other about $50.000 a day. Several other leases are pa to be producing $10,000 and morea aay. always its Be Wants Better Raltlroads. In habitations and general make-up and appearances, Goldfield is yet a mefe mushroom town. People would like to do some substantial building now that the town-has become a fixed spot on the map, but building material cannot be gotten in sufficient proportion to the de- mand to permit this for the present. Lumber has to give other supplies a chance to get in, too, and as everything comes over the inadequate Tonopah & Goldfield road, there is. always a scarc- ity in things all around. The road is said to have been built with old South- ern Pacific materials and equipped with cast-off Southern Pacific rolling stock. Many of the engines and cars have bro- ken down and are in the repair shops. Freight is stalled at several points along the line, and when lumber gets here it sells right off the cars at from $47.50 to $75 a thousand. The Clark road, which is coming from Las Vegas, will relieve this situation. Meanwhile buildings of every descrip- tion are being put up just as fast as lumber can be procured. Many are small affairs of one, two and three rooms, generally built by the men who are going to live in them. The bigger ones are built by carpenters at $6.50 per eight-hour day. The mile-and-a-half space between Goldfield and Columbia is being rapidly built up, so that in a few months they will be one town. There are hundreds of tents and ‘‘tent-cabins”’ which have floors and the lower part of the sides boarded. A 10x12 tert-cabin costs, ready-made, $75 or $100, and rents for $12 to $15 a month. A 12x12 cabin costs $160, and rents for $15 to $20. Most of the miners live in cabins of their own. A lot costs nothing, for most of them are simply “Jumped” and held by squatters’ title. At least a dozen stores are supposed to carry tents as part of their stock in trade, but they were all sold out several weeks ago and have been unable to get more. Town Has Some Churches. Goldfield’s public places consist of the postoffice, express office, railroad quar- tefs. some churches, a casino and lots of saloons with gambling annexes, and to these five hotels and rooming-houses are being added, at a cost of from $20,- 000 to $50,000 each. A rooming-house is a old mine for it is hard to get a room or a night at $1.50. In the gambling an- nexes the gambling is wide open. “Craps” is the most popular game, and there is always a crowd around the ta- bles. Faro generally attracts a big crowd of spectators, and it is no,un- common thing to see $1000 on a tPbie, always in gold and silver. Goldfield drinks a good deal of beer, but that is natural. considering that wa- ter of a poor quality for anything but washing and laying the thick dust of its streets is the only kind to be had. It is pee from springs ten miles away of sold from wagons, A company is lay- ing a pipe line to Lida, 26 miles south, where there are springs of good water They say they will be able to sell it at such a price that it can be used for irrigating purposes. Gasoline plays an important the existence of Goldfield. there wus almost a gasoline famine, which would be a serious” thing, as many of the mines would have to shut down, and, as most of them are being worked on leases which expire at the end of the year it would hit the leasers hard. They are all rushing things to the limit to get out as much as possi- ble before their leases run out. Two carloads got in and saved the situation. it takes six carloads a month to sup- ply the town—about 18,000,000 gallons. part in Recently Postoffiice Bnay Place. Goldfield and Tonopah probably con- tain more autos than any similar sized towns in the world. They are used for passenger purposes to Bullfrog, 60 miles away, and the fare there is $26. Goldfield has a good paid Fire De- partment and a large volunteer force, The town has twice been threatened with extinction by fire originating in rooming houses, but the firemeu saved the place. The Goldfield Postoffice is one of the busiest places in town. The Postmaster has an assistant and #2 clerks. There are 1100 boxes. all taken, and they have applications in for several hundred more. Last month the stamp sales amounted to nearly $13,000—about a dol- lar’s worth to each inhabitant.
