They left here Feb. 4, Mrs. Rhoding and her rich young mate tak- ing berths on a train for Louisville, where, it Is reported, they were married imme ey after their arrivel. The day the couple reached Pittsburg Whalen and Conway met them. There was a long conference and on the day following Mark E. Baldwin and Samuel! Avers, physicians; R. H. Jackson, an attorney, and Willlam Weitzel, a con- frable, were summoned to meet the Dare woman and Rhodius. The latter {s described _as having been “speechless and unable to move” at the time. The physicians, it is understood, declared tl millionatre insane, Insanity Alleged. It does not appear whether the insan- ity of Rhod’us was determined before or after his signing a deed of trust giv- ing to the Dare woman the control of the rich estate, which his moter be- queathed to him upon her death a year ago. Weltzel. the constable, who was one of the witnesses to the trust deed, de- clarea today that Rhodius was not in his rieht mind Feb. 2 He said that the young man was -hurried gy by the woman, who had been with him, and that an operative of the Pinkerton Agency had gone with them. He assert- ed further that Dra. Baldwin and Ayers got $00 for examining Rhodius. Bald- ‘win is a partner of Dr. C. C. Wiley, who for a few minutes posed as an expert at the Thaw trial. On) few Mours after the departure Of Rhone and his companion, Sheriff Clas and his force from Indiana polis appeared here. Clay is offering $1000 re- ward for information leading to the ap- prehension of the woman. Rhodius is said to be a victim of a » nervous disease which makes him incap- able of caring for himself. He has Lnown his reputed wife for eight years. They a both familiar in the white Nght district in New York and Rhodius ‘Was a character at the Waldorf-Astoria. They have been to Europe together. A year ago, it is said, when tie young roan’s relatives objected to the Dare at- tachment, they threatened to urge a common jaw wife action and he settled Seo @ year on her.

HAKSPEAREAN tragedy gave way to Shakspearean comedy at the Century last night, “The Merchant of Venice,” with Mr. Mantell as Shylock, being the bill of the evening. Comedy though it was, however, it was comedy ‘ dominated by the tragic figure of the great Jew of the Rialto that somber- ness was still the keynote of the performance, the lighter aspects of the play bit serving to emphasize what may be called the pitiful majesty of its ceM- “ye character. And Mr. Mantell makes of Shylock a personage of majesty so considerable tBat the final downfall of his fortunes intensifies to an unwonted degree the Here- fore we have seen a Shylock who was merely pitiable from beginning to end the story, fer atmosphere of what must nevertheless be classified as comedy. an old, cringing, fawning Shylock, made servile and timorous by the persecution of his race, in which he shared, only in rare moments of paa- ston venting his hatred of the Gentile—and then fearfully sive soul—a Ghetto Shylock, so to speak, his spirit, as well Jewish gaberdine, marked with the badge of contumely de Against this Shylock of tradition Mr. Mantell last night set up a new people. and with apprehen- as the sleeve of his creed for him and his Shylock, a Venetian captain of industry, one of the city’s proucest and richest merchants, a confidant and prosperous plutocrat of those wearing garments of passed middle age, his head high in the councils of nlo, his Gentile enemy, was a despised name, trade. hold him erect and equal among the great _ With slightly graying hair and framed in lighted by unshrinking eyes that confronted dauntlessly the world haughty face, fulness in every tone of his voice. “voided his rlieum upon his beard,’ still did his commercial power make His mien was erect and confident. ancient days, barely brocaded fabrics and holding as he complained, Anto- and the name of Jew him formidable and His face, crowned beard, was 4 costly Even though, Venice. brown traders of with a comely There was a triumphant master- | This was the Shylock who last night met Antonic and Bassanio, come to sue for the three thousand ducats n@eded to repair Bassanio’s fortunes, and it was the Shylock that. remained in evidence throughout the first half of the story. Nét untill the moment of Portia’s judgment on the forfeiture of Antonio’s bond, carrying with it the wreck «f Shylock’s own fortunes and the frustrating of his scheme of vengeance, did we see the Vhiled until now. Then, suddenly, ‘courage, overwhelmed by sudden and fatacly smal calamity, Shylock of stage the great Jew shrank in spiritual stature and tradition that has pre- and from the ruins of his being came jnto view the pi ity-gompe ing Shylock of the éenturies that have passed since “The Merchant of Venice’ and it lent a profcund interest to the figure of the change, immensely dramatic, shattered old Jew who, the next moment, broken way out from the Venetian court of justice, it was suddenly bréast until, reaching Antonio, was writtcn. It was a Startling trial and made his head bowed on his resentful and pa- the his with turned from lifted thétic pride and so held until Shylock passed out forever from the play’s action. ‘'Such a Shylceck is not comparable to ave at occasional moments of great import, and, American stage, s Shylocks of the English and accordingly, other Mir.

One man suffered so from piles he was tempted to take morphine to get relief and sleep, but X-Zalia cured him. Another suffered for over 7 years with piles, which bled profusely every day, and yet he cured himself with X-Zalia. An- § fe other had 3 tumors as big as @ hens’ eggs—but he got perma- F Bmnent relief from this liquid. Still anothee could not sit down the pain was so great, Bm and-yet X-Zalia completely Bee eured him. These instances are true Be because their letters are on file at the Boston office of the X-Zalia Corp’n. This liquid is easy to use and the relief is quick. You simply wet the sores with it. It soothes in- stead of smarts—which means no pain-—no danger — or interference from werk. Every druggist sells X-Zalia or can get it for you. Go to him. If he starts to argue about something elo being just as good—refuse to bry from him—but instead send your 50 cts. to the X-Zalia Corp’n, 55-57 Batterymarch St., Boston, ~ “i Piece, se _— oy te ro gee, aati , &*..

LAND COMMITTEE UPPOSES PRESIDENT Introduces Bill Against System of Leasing Recommended by President. By Wire From the Washington Bureau ee Of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—After the President's message on public lands had been written and was on its way to the Capitol, the Committee on Publi: Lands decided to report a bill which is diametrically opposed to the recommen- dations of the President. The committee fnsists on the plans now in force and is opposed to the sys- tem of leasing recommended by the President. Under the present laws, 640 acres can be acquired by one person, and the. committee, on the assumption that many frauds have been discovered under the present system, think ‘that by increasing the quantity of land the frauds will be decreased, and provision is made in the new bill permitting an individual to take up as much as 4880 acres of land. The most important sec- ‘ion of the bill is that whicn provides that in all land where coal is discovered the title to the coal shall remain vested in the Government for 20 years. cupant of the land, however, rignt to buy it in at $20 per within 15 miles of a railroad, per acre if more than 15 miles a‘ There is no necessity to purchase from the Government, as the settler can wait the 20 vears when the title becomes his without paying a cent. as the law does not-provide that any person may buy it. Representative Volstead and others who are to make a minority report Say the bill will not pass. M’COY FOR 3-CENT FARE. Republicans Urge Revival of the Wellston Line.

The company will raise as many ties for its own use as the extent of its land hold- ings will permit. From 300,000 to 500,000 * trees will be sect out every year. E; A. Sterling, formerly in the Government Forestry Service, has been appointed Forester of Pennsylvania. At the same time, the Pennsylvania is ing to lengthen the “‘lives” of its by treating them with creosote. The officials have studied European meth- ods of preservation and are convinced that by proper treatment ties can be made to last twice as long as at pres- ent. The London & Northwestern Rail- road, in England, gets 20 years’ serv- ice out of its ties by the use of cre- osote. This cannot be = accomplished here because the traffic is so much heavier, but it is calculated that a tie which now serves seven years may be made to serve fourteen. It is estimated that railroads in the United States use 110,000,000 new ties every year. The Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg use 3,500,000 annually and the yearly consumption of the entre System is about 56,900,000. The constant draii on forest resources has made i. hecessary for the company to send further and further tor its ties each year. Ties represent 14 per cent of the Os.

The letter tended to show that he knew his first wife was living when he married the second time On the witness stand Palméf admit- ted that he had written @ letter to his wife in New York, but dented that he had ever secured a divorce from her. His defense was that he had received an old friend in Waver- ecntaining the information that his first wife had remarried and later had died.

He borrowed the clothes from Mrs. Maggie Whalen of 1133 North Twenty- second street, and after thoroughly coating his face with black paint, he sallied forth on’ his fun-making mis- sion. He was drinking in a saloon at Jefferson avenue and Gamble street when policemen, nearing the rustle of skirts inside, invaded the place to see what was going on.

She carried an infant in her arms. Montrose was bound over to Grand Jury in the sum of $2000. He failed to give bond and was committed to jail. No evidence was introduced by the defense. The marriage of Montrose Miss Lynes took place at Clayton May 26, 19%. It was the culmination of a ro- mance that had its beginning at a skKat- ing rink on Olive street. He gave the name oft C. A. Wilkes, while she passed as E. Lottie Bennett. Montrose left on Jan. 14 last, saying that he was going to work at Hugo, Mo.

Home Protective League Wants | to Name Citizens’ Party Nominee for Mayor, The ‘‘lid’’ the cause of the tangled political situation East St. Louis has ever experienced. Harmony does not exist in any of the existing polit- ical parties. The Independent Municipal which elected Mayor Cook, is now power and naturally has the strongest organization. Mayor Cook put on the sg and displeased the saloon and brewery interests. He partially took off ' lid’? by allowing the rear doors of sa- loons to be open on Sunday, and no ar- rests of “‘lid lifters’’ have been made for four weeks. This displeased the church “people and did not particularly please the wide. onen Sunday. While this wheel within a wheel working, the Citizens’ party is its troubles. The Republican wing of the party broke away and took most of the wheelhorses of the party with it. There was much talk of placing a straight Republican ticket in the field. gation from is most of newspapers the into the theft the Postoffice and the Federal building site, in which sev- eral prominent Republicans were ques- tioned, the leaders changed their mind and the Executive Committee officially announced that it was not deemed ad- visable to place a Republican ticket in the field at this time. This announcement seemed to verify talk of a combination of the Cook and the Republicans, by which former Sheriff G. W. Thompson was to be nominated on the Cook party ticket for City Treasurer. Thompson had be- fore that been an avowed candidate for Mayor on the Republican ticket. While not openly admitting that such a trade Was made, Thompson admits that the nomination for treasurer was Offered to him and he has not refused to accept it. Fight on a Combination. This caused more wheels to turn in

Thomp- son has declined the ao ang ate ™ 9 have | all of the other candidates 10 were nominated without their consent. The Citizens party consists of several ! factions al! fighting for control. To add to its discomfort. the Home Protective League, composed of the church ele- ment, has left the Cook party because Mayor Cook took off the “lid,’’ and has offered to join the Citizens’ party, but issued an ultimatum that the league must be &llowed to name-the candidates for Mavor and three aldermen. If this is not agreed to the league threatens to place a full ticket in the field and divide the vote. A meeting of the Citizens’ Executive Committee will be held Thursday night to give an offi- cial answer to the ultimatum. Should this combination be effeeted a unique campaign would follow. As a large majority of the saloonkeepers are in the Citizens party and against Mayor Cook, it would be a combination of the church element and the saloon interests fighting for reforms. In that case the saloonkeepers would probably desert the party and turn to Cook. Three Citizens Aspirants. M. M. Stephens, who was mayor for 14 years and was defeated by Mayor Cook, is the strongest. candidate for Mayor mentioned on the Citizens ticket. Dr. M. R. Doyle is also an avowed can- didate and numerous Doyle buttons are now being worn. Several Doyle clubs are working in his interest. T. J. Cana- van has also announced his candidacy and urges his claim on the theory that he can more nearly reconcile the war- ring factions than either of the others. | The Home Protective League refuses to accept any of the three because Stephens and Canavan were formerly saloonkKeepers, and they maintain that Dr. Doyle is committed to the saloon interests, and they cannot expect re- forms from them. In the meantime all is not running smoothly in the Home Protective League. Its offers of combination have been made by the executive committee. and the men from whom the Mavor is to be selected if the ultimatum is ac-

cepted by the Citizens party, belong to the executive committee. The rank and file deny. that votes can be ‘‘delivered"’ by the tfve committee, some of whom they are office-Seekers, Many of them that Mayor Cook has done their ideas of reform than any Mayor and will stand by him. condemn Mayor Cook for “lid’’ to be lifted, and demand a liome Protective League ticket. al- though they realize that their candidates cannot be elected.

Before the grant. of a franchise to the new ter- minal belt railway, the promoters of which make large and vague promises of auvantageous shipping facilities, is seriously considered, let us have full information concerning the ownership, purpose, busi- ness methods and status of the project. ‘The scheme as outlined involves two bridges, a double track helt line encircling the city and a double track rail- way through the city from north to south. | This is a large scheme, embodying about all the franchise opportunities remaining. before turning them over to franchise seekers, the people of the city ought to know all about the project. ‘Iwo Eastern railroads are said to be backing it—what roads are they? Who are the Eastern capitalists alleged to be Teady to supply the money? Will the bridges and tracks be the bridges and terminals of the raiiroads ewning them, of will they be independent concerns, charging tolls and special switching fees? Or will the new line turn out to-be an adjunct of the St. -Jouis Termina! Railway Association? St. Louis cannot afford to draw the chains about her commerce tighter than they are. She cannot afford to build up another terminal and bridge wall. St. Louis wants terminals of railroads to be used for the traffic of the city, without special charges. The city wants commercial freedom from arbitra- fies and differentials on account of bridges and minals. Nothing else will be acceptable.

> LL ~~ ww y If it is true that the railroads could not afford to un their present fast mail trains should the postal propriation be reduced, the reduction should not occur. The merits of the question should be care- fully determined on a full. knowledge of the facts. #eonomy which would curtail postal facilities of great value to the people is false economy. ‘The tal facilities should, be increased whenever an Anerease is possible and desirable. Money paid oyt for needed mail facilities is well invested. But the lroads should not. be permitted to “hold up” the ‘Government by means of threats of damage to busi- ness merely to obtain extravagant appropriations. Phe postal service should be put on a fair business basis and on that basis expenditure in the perfect- jing of the service should be as liberal as the needs # the country require,

City news that the favorable report. of a prohibition amendment from the Senate Committee on Constitu- tional Amendments is a desperate ~ neuver of the udministration to force favorable action from the the bill creating a State Excise Folk appears to be willing to stake everything in order to sain control ef even some, if he cannot get all, the saloons. in. the State. Finding the country in revolt against their saloons being controlled by a State Excise Commis- he is willing to compromise on the cites,

“tate Legislature on Commissioner. Gov. sioner, and in order to gain this compromise he is willing to juggle with prohibition dymamite. If the Governor favors’ prohibition and were en- tering into a campaign to assure prohibition in Mis- souri, there would be no cause for special wonder. he logic of his utterances and his acts with regard to the liquor traffic leads inevitably to prohibition. (lis arguments in favor of one-day prohibition are valid for seven-uay prohibition, His demand for the State control of the excise, regardless of the will of the people of the communities, is. a I .g step in the direction of State suppression of the manufac- ture and sale of aleoholic beverages of all kinds. If much is left undone at the present session of the Legislature; if measures demanded by the pop- are overcooked, and if the Governor ular interest finds himself m a tangle with.the Legislature which may block needed legislation, he ean charge it to his excessive activity and anxiety for undemocratic leg- islation with regard ta the liquor traffic. When one considers What magnificent opportuni- ties Gov. Folk: enjoyed to concentrate his energies and his tremendous influence on vital reforms which would conserve the highest interest of the people; when one considers the possibilities w....in his nands to rally all the reform elements in the State under his leadership for a suecessful battle with every form of corporate injustice and abuse; when one thinks of the vital things that the Governor might aceom- it is impossible with profound the dissipation not to view, of his energy and his influ- not vital to the public wel- plish, regret, ence on aims that are fare, and especially on an absurd effort to become master busybody in the personal affairs of citizeng It is a pity tuat one who might have led a great army of citizens of all elements, eager to fight for honest government, just laws, equal opportunity and liberty, should prefer to lead a faction of intolerants into the ditch of disaster. It is only necessary to note the experiences of the states of Maine and Kansas, where “blind pigs” and have taken the place of flourishing in- dustries and well-regulated saloons to recognize the disaster toward which Gov. Folk’s fatuous leadership on the excise question. is leading the State. As for the Democratic party, if this course is persisted in, the pieces will be hardly picking up. “joints” worth ooo The President has not succeeded in’ cufting out be

Salesgirl and Stenographer. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to say to the stenographers'’ sympathizer that a salesgirl deserves and probably receives aS much remnu- eration for her service as a stenograph- er. .The writer speaks of an ‘ordinary salesgirl."” Are there no ordinary ste- nographers? To be a successful sales- girl requires experience, business tact and diplomacy to receive a good salary in either capacity, one ‘s ability must be somewhat above the “ordinary.’ SALESGIRL. The Servant Problem. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch, The letter signed ° ‘House ‘wife’ is only one example of the “mistress’’ of the persecuted ‘“‘servants."" The idea that a cook or maid cannot have a friend speak with her over the phone, The average maid's time is indeed valuable. It would not be quite so much so if she dia not have t.o much work crowded upon her. I did:-domestic work from the time I was 16 until 1 was 22, during which time I saved a neat little sum. This money was put in the bank. One- fifth of it s@ént me through business col- lege and while my education is deficient in many ways, Il am working hard to improve and feel sure that I will. While employed as a domestic my salary was from $2 to $5 per week with my board and the privilege of doing my own laundry. My salary now is $12 per week, out of which I pay $4.50 for board, & to 75. cents per week for laundry and 70 cents for car fare. This leaves me about $6 for clothes. Now I have my Sundays, and after 5:30 p. m. I can call my soul my own until 8:30 the next morning and, better still, I am a “re- spected’’ employe instead of a ‘“de- spised’’ servant. : “INDEPENDENT.” =_—— — Park Concerts.

If you write to the newspa- pers complaining of respects in which your saigh- bor’s tastes run counter to your own, you are Hot particularly getting on. The two great cities of ancient time were Babylon and Rome. We used to suppose that they were com- munities of millions, but tn the light of scient city dwelling we know they were not large except for their day. The science of mutual toleration had not yet put forth its first tender shoots. The tendency to fly to arms was strong, and every man was to a much greater degree his own policeman than He is to-~ day. It is ridiculous to believe that a million people could get on together in a single community under such conditions. Herodotus, who saw Babylon 400 B. C., described its great square wall as being 14 miles upon each side. The city and all its truck gardens and orchards were within, so that Babylon was probably about: the #ize of Cincinnati. Rome was doubtless larger, but, so far from having a million people, it probably did tot even have a million club. What could the Romans and Chaldeans have known about city dwelling 3600 years ago, when we are but mastering some ef its rudiments today? The greatest city of all time is the modern eity of London. Mr. Chesterton says common sense in Lon- don seems to mean putting up with exi8tIng condi- tions. Which probably explains why London hag;dis- tanced every other city in population. Her : have understood the science of city dwelling better than the people of her rivals. They get on _together. Your true cosmopolite doesn’t consider other pedple in the way. The more the merrier. He lkeg to-ive in a crowd, move with the mob, stand In line and proceed with the procession, He likes to thread his way through myriad humanity as much as the hermit loves to insinuate his going through the thick-stand- ing trunks of the forest. Undoubtedly, we of St. Louls are but slightly ad- vanced in the science of city dwelling. We display too much Irritation in a crowded car, tog little pa- tience in line at the ticket office (bless them, some of our ladies won't get in line at all!) and too muth con- cern on the street as to whether others are going to pass us on the right or left. Now and then we have -a fist-fight over who has the larger half of the car seat. Most of us want to move about In an other- wise-unoccupied half-acre, and all of us take to the street in a huff if the too-slow crowd blocks the side- walk. All this amuses visitors from New York, Chi- cago and Philadelphia and betrays among us that same unpreparedness for millions that disqualified the Chaldeans and the Romans. . Let’s give the city’s seeming destiny a chance, — SS

_ ROSIE. | A Chicago Idyl. From the Record-Herald. DIMINUTIVE Jewess, a little modern Madonna, very beautiful to behold, attended a West Side school in the slum district. She came to the school Jooking Sften very ontidy, but the grime never entirely concealed the fine natural endowments of feature end color. The tousled hair, the dark, coaxing eyes and the engaging little ways were always in evidenca. But there were visible and invisible traces of uncleanliness, for a bath was an un- known indulgence itn the slum home, and traces of candy and peanuts and cooking and onions were unmistakable to the sense of sight and of smell of those about her. The teacher was fond of Rosie and looked at the beautiful, untidy Judean daughter with a desire to bring about reforms. She decided to write Rosie's mother making suggestions toward im- provement. The words in the 1.0te were discriminately chosen, the phrases were cast and a supposedly fault- less missive found its way to the little Madonna's maternal ancestor. Rosie's mother must have had a sense of conscious or unconscious humor, for the next day the diplomatic, pedagog- ical letter was returned, on the back of it thie scrawl: “I send my Rosie to whool to be learned—not to be smelled. Yer name is Rosle, but is not a posy.”’

From the Wall Street Summary. ,-MERICA holds the palm for night A and day, mail order, and ladies banks, but England is the first to utilize the automobile in finance. In Manchester there has been incorporated recently an “auto savings bank’’ which visits the depositors in the shape of a. touring car auto, fitted up as a mina- ture bank. A large safe, a wire screen cage, two counters and desks for book- keeper and cashier, are its banking properties. In addition to the officials named the president and vice-president are always present. Country districts, hamlets, farm houses, factories, etc., are visited with regularity—savings re- ceived and withdrawals permitted. It is an adjunct of a long-established bank in Manchester, and should this initial at- tempt succeed, a regular auto field serv- ice will be instituted to teach the coun- try citizen thrift and increase the bank's earnings.

“THE GREEN-EYED FAIRY”

From the London Telegraph. HE habitual drinker of absinthe is T likely soon to find some difficulty in obtaining a supply of his favo- rite afternoon stimulant. -Absinthe is mainly a drink ot the afternoon. Until a man is most irredeemably in the grip of ‘“‘the green-eyed fairy,’’ to use the sobriquet applied by our French friends, absinthe is rarely drunk in the morning, except as an occasional pick-me-up aft- er a “hard night.”’ But. if foreign gov- ernments continue to follow the direc- tion they appear to be pursuing, the ab- sinthe drinker will soon be obliged to select some other medium for keeping himself in tone.. At present the manu- facture or sale of absinthe is absolute- ly prohibited in Belgium. In Switzerland a committee appointed to consider the matter has unanimously recommended the Grand Council of the Republic to prohibit its sale in the canton of Gene- va, and, most important of all, a bil] has been introduced into the French Cham- ber of Deputies prohibiting the manu- facture or sale in France of absinthe or any similar product. In England the habit is almost un- known, except among continental immi- grants or natives who have acquired it in France. The number of the latter, while inconsiderable compared with the total population, is still sufficiently large to require most of the restaurants and big clubs to keep a supply of ab- sinthe in stock. The average Britisher who spends a holiday in France general- ly considers it incumbent upon him to

taste absinthe. One trial is usually quite enough. The aniseed flavor of the stuff is unpleasantly reminiscent of the gas- tric troubles of childhood, and the “‘dose’’ is mostly pyt down unfinished.

The proper ritual of mixing the drink is not easily acquired. Watch the bouie- vardier prepare his 4 o’clock absinthe. First he pours a quantity of absinthe into the long, funnel-shaped glass. Then | he carefully balances a perforated spoon | across the glass, and after due circum- | Spection selects a lump of sugar and places it thereon, He has now assem- bled the principal ingredients, and he pauses awhile to contemplate the effect. Then he grasps a:carafe of iced water, and, with a _ deliberation that would madden any ordinary human being who really wanted a drink, he filters its con- tents drop by drop through the sugar into the liquid at the bottom of the

glass. But even when sufficient water has been added the absinthe is not fit to drink—in truth, it never is—it must be allowed to stand a little, and the drink- er sits watching the mixture as it gy- rates in coalescing strata within the glass. At last, after sufficient time has elapsed from the commencement of op- erations to make one forget he had ever been thirsty, the absinthe drinker ven- tures to take a sip. He waits a while | to see if it agrees with him; no catas- trophe threatening, he takes another, and so on, until his interior indicates that it has become inured in its trials, when he swallows the remainder at a gulp.

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.

THE ADVENTURERS. From the Philadelphia Record. 2 ar is a very good game and will combine instruction with amuse- ment. The idea is that the com- pany imagines itself to be a party of travelers about to set out on a journey to foreign countries. A good knowledge of geography is desirable, also an idea of the manufactures of the foreign parts about to be visited. It would be well to have a map handy for reference, and to decide any mooted questions. A place for starting having been de- cided upon, the first player sets out upon his journey. He tells the company what spot he intends to visit (in imas- ination) and what kind of conveyance he means to travel] in. On arriving at his destination the player states what he wishes to buy, and, to whom he intends to make a pres- ent of his purchase on returning home. This may seem very simple, but it {Ss not nearly so easy as it appears The player must have some knowledge of the country to which he is going, the way he will travel and the time it will take to complete the journey. To give an instance, it will not do for the player to state that he is going to Greenland to purchase pineapples, or to Florida to get furs; nor will it do for him to make a present of a meer- schaum pipe to a lady, or'a cashmere shawl to a gentleman. The game continues, and the second player must make his starting point from where the first leaves off. Of course, all. depends upon the imagina- tion or the experience of the player; ff he has been a traveler or has read a great. deal, his descriptions should be very interesting. More fun is added if forfeits are ex- acted for mistakes. Two Questions. The Butterflg said to the Katydid, “Il always wondered why, Since butter has no wings at all,- They say the butter fly?"

Louisans much of Joseph Forshaw BY BURTON TtiOLMES. N telling something about the Olympian games, and particularly the Mara- thon race of 1906, it must not be supposed that I write as a trained ob- For that reason I am unable to tell St. »the native of this city, who entered the race and went } though he was not the winner. All I can say of him was that no moving pic- ture machine showed that immeediately after the start of the race he was in the lead of his companions and was pushing ahead as though he intended to keep that lead. But Mr. Forshaw was forced to yield, and so were many pe who took the lead at times, but were unable to hold it. The Marathon race of 1906 was run on an ideal ‘day—a day much like Wednesday in St. Louis. The weather was slightly warmer than the spring- like day with which we were favored yesterday, but it was not hot. 1 , tinetly remember that in the evening a light overcoat was quite comfortable, and even at 3 p. m., the hour of the start, the air was invigorating, and there was a grateful breeze. Qhe »anners had no possible reason for finding fault with the weather. It was such a day as encouraaged a man to do his best. STARTED FROM FAMOUS BATTLEFIELD. The Marathon race is run over a course famous battlefield of Marathon to Athens. The first man who covered the distance in record time was the runner who carried to Athens the news of the vietory of the Hellenes over the Persian army 2396 years ago. The exertion ~he put forth to be first to tell the news cost him his life, but this was not too high a price to pay for the honor of delivering such tidings as he earried. So that it can be seen that the Marathon race, celebrating as it does the most _ glorious achievement of Greek arms, is an event that rouses all the patriotism of the Athenians. There were 53 starters last summer, and all but 20 of them were natives of Greece. Some of the 33 Greek contestants were sturdy peasants, others were sttdents, athletes and mechanics. All ¢lasses were represented and all were hopeful. The winner of 10 years before was a pensant and there were many who believed that history would repeat itself. One 3 ung priest spent so much ‘time training that he quite forgot the necessary formality of registering his ‘name until it was too late and so he was not allowed to enter the race though he had covered the distance in two hours and fifty minates, a trifle better than _ was made by Sherring, the winner. The roadway from Marathon that passes the mound that covers the bones of these who lost their lives winning the gallant battle of Marathon more than two thousand years ago, was crowded with spectators who thus got a free view of a portion of the race. But the Stadium, which was the finish of the race, was crowded, eyery available seat being occupied long before the winner was néar the end of his run. HOSPITAL TENTS EVERY FIVE MILES. Preparations for caring for the contestants were admirable. Every five miles a hospital tent was located and in the tents were skilled attendants for those needing aid. And many of the runners called for help, only about one- “fourth of them finishing. As Mr. Forshaw was among the fourth—and was not last either—he was a credit to his city-and his country. Lach runuer was permitted to have one helper accompany him. This helper rode on a bicycle and he carried food, water and medicine for the con- ‘testant. During the time of the race the road was. closed except to runners, helpers and officials, so that those who witnessed the start’ were not permitted to get into a vehicle and pass the runners and thus see the finish, too. When the race was won, when the thousands and thousands of spectators saw Sherring dash through the peristyle and saw that he was not a Creek, the disappointment was bitter. The Hellenes could hardly believe their eyes, Prince George had waited at the gate and he ran with the winner down to the end where the King sat and where the long course was actually ended. Sher- ring was cheered, cheered long and loud. But he did not receive the tempest vi joy that would have swept the Stadium had the winner been a Greek. The second man was Svanberg, a Swede, seven minutes behind the swift - Canadian. Two minutes later Frank, the American, arrived. This triple defeat -~ the woe high on the heads of the Athenians and they trudged back to Thelr homes that night, sad and heavy at heart. As | said before, I am not a sporting expert, and I am interested in such contests only as a spectator. But I eannot help but wonder at the number of winners of long-distance races that little town’ of Hamilton, Ot... has turned out. In 1902, Caffrey, another native of this little Canadinn town, won a 25- mile road race at Boston in the world’s record time of 2 hours and 29 minutes. and last fall the Chicago Marathon, a duplicate of the Greek event-so far as dis- dis- . » ® ; a EDITED BY NIE — i ures 7 o8 + Cease

The Central ¥. M. C. A. athletics, not Satisfied with the drubbing administered to them by Eddie Cochems’ stars last Saturday night, are anxiously awaiting the setting of a date for the promised return meet in their home gymnasium. Central ft not fully satisfied that St. Louis U. is their superior at the athletic game and believe that on their own truck they can take the measure of the Jesuits [t must be remembered that the Crim- Son and Gray played f[n hard luck in their recent meet. Aside from severai of the Central stars failing to show up, those who did, did not perform up to their usual standard. For instance, in the high jump, Nicholson, Garesche and Boyie have been jumping 66 inches con- sistently.- Yet quit at 62 and Boyle at 63, giving second place 10 McRae of the varsity whtle the event should have been a clean sweep for Central. Hess holds records of 2:06 in vard run. Yet Tobin ran away with the event in 2:16. The Central boys be- lieve that the fact of their taking the eprint and then making a poor showing in the relay race, show conclusively that unfamiliarity with the track played an important part in the result. Y. M. C. A. is strong on the pole vault and count on scoring heavily in. this event. The height of the ceiling at the university gym precluded any possibility of this ev en being put on last Saturday. The vault can be run in on the return meet. The associution boys, acting upon the supposition that the- return meet will be held at once, are hard at work, and are confident that the second series ef contests will not prove the walkover for the varsity lads that the first one was. the SS80- Athens last summer.

And, of course, you know why—the life has been boiled out of it to enrich the soup. You can’t Imagine that such dry and stringy meat could by any process whatever, be canned and made very nutritious or appetizing, can you? ‘That is just what the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger -Packing Company DON’T do in the preparation of their Advance and Majestic brands of canned meats.

meats are not “soup meats.” These meats are prepared from choice cuts of Government inspected stock. Not only is the stock on the heof Govern- ment inspected, but at every stage of its preparation the meat is subjected to a like rigid Government inspection. That lettering on the label of every ean of Advance or Majestic canned meat, “U. S. Inspected and Passed,” tells one story. It’s an official guar- antee that the contents of those cans are pure and genuine. But for that matter, a raw potato is pure and genu- ine. However, not many people care for potatoes in a raw state, no matter how pure and genuine they are. Genu- ineness and purity in foods do not nec- essarily mean wholesomeness and _ pal- atability. It’s the names Advance and Majestic that tell the other story to the discriminating housewife — the story of quality—and that create a picture in her mind of a table spread with dainty, tempting dishes. Dishes prepared from juicy, thoroughly cooked meats, tender, wholesome and delicate- seasoned. Housewives who make aily use of these canned meats in the preparation of regular meals, lunch- eons, teas and even banquets, say that for flavor and allround excellence Ad- Runs on Track When Car Con- | 3 years | was struck by a Jefferson avenue | knocked Schwarzschild & Sulzberger canned !@ | 5 AAA Al Cloak 515 Locust FRIDAY BARGAINS Don’t miss seeing these great bargains—a beautiful line of new spring Suits. 516.75 A regular $25.00 Suit— $15.00 Iriday eoeewe#eeesewemeseee_eswseoeaoeueseseoceneeeses A regular $20.00 Suit— WO 6 ind ectneecdcdiee eae All new shades and styles.

She had at first announced that she would fight the will, claiming that she was Delaval Beresford's common-law wife. Attorney O. D. Hammond of New ‘ork was sent here by relatives of Beresforc to try and make a séitlement with her. She refused alJl overtures, however, saying that she would wait and setile with Admiral Beresford him- self. The final conference between At- tcrney Hammond and the woman was held yesterday. The attorney told her thet Admiral LDLerestord had flatly re- fused to see her and that it was use- less for her to appeal to him further. The negress was toid that in view of her action here, the will would be strict- ly adhered to, and that she Would not Bet the $10,000 left her, except through regular channels in the Chancery Court OL wng.and. It is thought asked for un Beresford that she to nim as one who ‘had befriended his dead brother, and that aftér hearing her story, he woull come to an agree- ment with her.

She also declared that she woul not compromise with Beresford’s other heirs, but that she weuld take the matter ta the céurts and try for a . widow’s portion.

ADMIRAL REFUSES TO COMMAND BRITISH NAVY LONDON, Feb. 14.—According to un- official reports, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, who at present. is in America with his brother, looking after the estate of his brother; Delavel, has re- fused to accept command of the chan- nel squadron, unless he is given a suffi- cient number of ships of all Kinds to ' defend home waters, ships trained under , him in time of peace.

| | and twice betore , under a separate ccmmand, and that Lord Beresford’s action is thought to be due largely to the fact that some lib- eral newspapers have been arguing that the Government’s naval policy would not be acquiesced in by Lord Beres- ford and other admirals, if there was any doubt of .ts efficiency. Tt is understood that his action is a protest against placing tie home fleet he thinks it should be under his control, as commander of the channel squadron. Admiral Beresford is an advocate of strong flecis in permanent commission, has made protests against the naval policy of toe Govern- ment. It is believed that a compromise ' will be arranged by adding another bat-

Bt tleship and several cruisers to the chan- rel fleet. ' It is understood that the Admiral will accept the command if the Government agrees to this addition, and that other- probated, |

’ | wise he will probably resign from the} navy entirely, and seek an election to Parliament, where he may advocate his views on naval policy. Admiral Beresford's thrown a bombshell into naval circles, it havine vlaced him in direct opposi- tion to the Government's policy for the distribution of Great Britain's naval forces. It is understood that the refusal was elicited by the intention of the admiralty to reduce the fleet to 14 battleships, four armored and three unarmored cruisers. The fleet formerly consisted of 16 bat- tieships and six ermored cruisers, the reduction is in line with the recent unnouncements of British naval econ- omy, according to which the Gevern- ment was said to have planned to re- move Ou efficient warships from active duty, placing them ‘a reserve with nu- cleus crews. Qn Oct. 24 the admiralty issued a circular announcing that a dis- tinct feet would be constituted from the reserve ships, to be called the home fleet, under the supreme command of.a fiag officer, with the status of mander-in-chief, and headquarters at Sheerness. This fleet Will in every re- Spect be organized with the view of en- hancing its value as a fighting force. eet cient ep statement has ae eee eee OYSTERS KILL REV. B. COX.
