AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FANS EXPECT GREAT BASEBALL SEASON; bss

wr ~s A Billy Landman, one of the directors of the Toledo baseball club, has just re- turned to that city from a trip around the circuit, in which he visited nearly all the cities in the American Associa- tion. He reports that baseball enthusl- asm has begun to show itself every- where with the approach of spring. and believes that prospects are bright for a g00d ball year. “Why, up in St. Paul, which is one of the deadest ball towns in the Amer- ican Association,’’ said Mr. Landman, ‘‘fanning bees are held’ everywhere—on the street corners, the trolley cars and in the stores. The place seems to be waking up, and it looks as though the Saints would have the support of their fe llow townsmren this season. ‘At Minneapolis, the public has rather sore these several months the Kelley case. KeNey was well up in the flour mill town, and the did not at aij approve of the action 0! the association magnates in ousting him from their company. But now that the Kelley matter is settled for good, and the affair is all over, the people in Minneapolis town are commencing to show an interest in their own ball — They even have a hunch that Mike tillon will bring home a pennant fall. ‘Kansas City is a rattling good ball | town, but the Cowboys have had auch poor teams of late that the fans hay Deen rather discouraged.

The engagement : James Ten Eyck, the son of the Syracuse coach, a8 the instructer for Wisconsin has been sufficient to give rowing at Madison a big boom. Young Ten Eyck knows the rowing game quite as thoroughly as his father, and he has started things going in the West with an energy which means trouble forme Eastern crews. The new coach is for- tunate in that he has all but two mem- bers of the 1998 eight as a nucius. The two veterans lost are Burling. bow, and Johnson, 2. The following are the six veterans retained: Wilder, 3: Levkse, 4: Davis, 6; Ruth, 6: Hine. 7; Lea, stroke. All of these men have rowed two years or more at Poughkeepsie, and are therefore experienced.

C. and devoting his atten- tion to the ball club there, people are commencing to have hopes. They really believe that Uncle George is going to give them a first division club at least. The Missouri fans have been up in the air a lohig time, not knowing what would become of their baseball teain. They want Jimmy Burke to manage club, but it is doubtful whether or he will accept the proposition. “Up in Milwaukee I had a pleasant chat with President O’Brien of the American Association. He was happy and looked for a prosperous baseball year the coming season. Milwaukee is one of the poorést ball towns in the American Assoclation. The baseball are quite a way out of town, the very least 15 minutes’ ride street cars, and people wlll not go far to a ball game.

At this writing the chances are very much fn favor of Harvard, whose crew downed the Elis last vear after a long serter of defeats. There are two very rood reasons why Harvard ought to beat Yale this year. Primarily Harvard re- taina all but two members of her 1996 crew, while Yale has lost fgur.

HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK. On what appears to have -been a first suggestion from J, Pierpoint Morgan, reinforced by the con- clusion of a conference of railroad presidents, Pres- ident Roosevelt gave out, or suggested, during the week, further details of a plan for “controlling the railroads.” It consists of a Government license law, Federal charters and bond issues “vised” or inspected and approved by the Federal Government. After suffering what appeared to be acute anguish because of the charge that they were selling scraps as canned chicken, the “beef mag- : advertising that their canned chick- en is officially guaranteed by the United States of America as genuine and fresh. If all the acute anx- ieties experienced by other magnates lead to a final consymmation which will put every new bond issue on @ parity of privilege with Chicago canned chicken, they, too, may conclude that life is still worth spite of the dread of “centralization” living, in which seized them with spasmodic violence several months ago. ,» On March 19, Premier Stolypin read before the Russian Douma the “project of law” the Govern- ment proposés as a constitutional system for Rus- _) Bia, It includes headings for freedom of speech and the press, freedom of conscience, habeas corpus, loca] self-government, popular education and every other heading which could be set over the prini- ples of idea} government, free and popular. The question it presents to the Douma is not of what these things mean in themselves, but of what they would mean in Russia, where, under the “project of é lew," all power would still remain finally vested in Czar. As ap-illustration of possible results, puvishmént has been abolished in Russia gt @ “project of law” during periods when, to suit the Cear’s convenience, men were being constantly _-Sustfiaded, singly or in squads. Habeas corpus, * freedom of speech, press and conscience, and all _ @ther principles of civilization might operate the way under the proposed “project of law,” so ee the Czar is still left lawless. The Douma mo less than six parties represented in it The Gut mews from the Anglo-American Polar ex- weceived during the : off Point Barrow. health at the date of this report and was preparing for w journey across the ice in the attempt to reach a lazge island supposed to exist to the northward.

Fighting continued to be reported without becoming aetually decisive. Honduran correspondents sent out claims that Nicaragua had promised ite troops the priv- flege of looting all Honduran towns and cities cap- tured. South America also developed during modic stage of its Spanish-American use as a sug- _gestion that reforms are needed at the capital.

The affidavit was repudiated and it ought to be false. Perjury goes so deep into the case that no single point in it can be taken out of the mass. of evidence and judged. The value of this development lies wholly in its coincidence with what is historically worst at all periods of the world when self-indulgence and luxury have the freest possible play. It is the most wretched fact .i jie buman history that to degenerates who can control others and inflict suffering, the suffering they inflict becomes a means of pleasure.

—#-0 POLICE DEMORALIZATION. The grand: jury’s criticism of the Police Board’s methods in the trial of officers charged with graft, emphasizes the Post-Dispatch’s condemnation of the conduct of these trials. In view of the fact that charges have been brought against detectives with- out evidence to support them, or with the evidence only of thieves and crooks and dope-crazed disrepu- tables, the criticism is in the main justified. In explaining the situation, President Stewart, of the Police Board, makes the astounding statement that he did not examine the character of the evi- dence to bé submitted in support of the charges, but merely read the formal charges, assuming the position ofya judge. But in assuming the position of a judge and refusing to look into the evidence supporting the charges to be submitted to the board, Mr. Stewart with the other Police Commissioners, disregarded their prime function ag administrative officers in complete charge of the Police Depart- ment. A Police Commissioner is an administrative officer first and a judge only incidentally. It 1s his duty to see that the men under his control are not harassed, humiliated and treated with gross injustice by being subjected to trial on flimsy -_——-—— charges either unsupported by any evidence or sup- | ported only by the testimony of persons who would not be believed on oath or who may be moved by unscrupulous considerations of interest or passion. It is the duty of the .Police Commissioners to save their officers from the conspiracies of. crooks or vindictive ‘enemies, as well as to punish them if they have been guilty of wrongdoing. The criticism does not lie against the motives of the Police Commissioners, but against their methods. They have harassed and humiliated members of the force by petty, unjust charges without sufficient evidence to convince anyone of their truth. They have neglected the great, substantial object of po-" lice work in favor of trivialities which harass and embarrass the force and tend rather to scatter the infection of vice than to control or suppress it. These methods must be amended if St. Louis is to have efficient police protection. - 9O Vice-President Fairbanks may become a close student of Gaelic.

, oe i i a 1S CRAIN INSPECTION. Gov. Folk would be wise to veto the bill taking the inspection of grain out of the hands of the Merchants’ Exchanges and putting it in the hands of the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission. The bill is not designed to better grain inspection, but merely to increase the patronage of the com- mission. Under the present system, an efficient and sat- isfattory system of grain inspection, including for the St. Louis market both the east and west sides of the river, has been built up. It,works admirably. It has greatly benefited the grain trade of St. Louis. It is satisfactory to the commission men and to the grain producers. To break up this system in order to increase the power and patronage of the Railroad and Warehouse Commission, would be a blunder. ny lid. TT lU wr

We have had some warm winter days, but look out now. Spring is beginning, ; 2. i i A FLASH OF SCIENCE. It does not often happen that the orator of the evening at a banquet strikes out a far-reaghing definition of scientifi¢ truth, as actually happened at the banquet of the St. Louis Manufacturers’ As- sociation, when, after soaring as usual into the empyrean of the advantages of living and doing business in the Mississippi Valley, Hon. Champ Clark of Pike, at his loftiest altitude, collided with some comet or other unexpected celestial obstruc- tion, and as a result of the oollision blazed out into the eulogy of the climate as “warm eneugh for comfort and cold enough for virtue.” Leaving the Mississippi Valley out of account for the time being, we might proceed to construct the most important volume of planetary history the twentieth century is likely to. produce on this foun- dation, with no other question of its success than that of ability to select for it the most fitting material from the overwelming mass of. evidence offered by all past centuries that when the best work of the ages is to be done, it must be done in a climate “cold enough for virtue.” When the hundreds of volumes written between 1850 and 1900 on “environment and the survival of the fittest” are condensed until the final idea in them is compressed out of them, it appears final- ly as this idea that in all countries, all ages and among all sorts and conditions of men, they become fitted for their best and able to do their best only under some general condition of moderate hard- ship, of general discomfort, not severe enough to dwarf them, but keen enough to keep them braced and invigorated for their best. : When science out the final secret of how men are persuaded to improvement by nature, it finds it in such marvelous simplicity of detail us the inclination of the pole of the earth. When, through such simplicities, the highest op- portunities are opened for progress, they may be escaped by many, but not successfully evaded by all, and out of climate “cold enough for virtue,” the world has got, and it is still getting, the energies of idea it needs as actual force to move it against and over all its difficulties. On the other hand, no force is wasted in nature, and out of climates which are warm enough for luxury and only cold enough, or otherwise uncom- fortable enough, at intervals to make virtue pos- sible for volunteers, civilization gets its refinements,

searches er part of its life. By way of main- average still further, it happens that when in climates “cold enough for virtue,” the dis-

comfort is evaded wholly-by any chess able to use

duces the worst results of enervation and degen- eracy to be found anywhere between the ice caps at the two poles. In demonstration of which, the Thaw case is still, unfortunately, in evidence. As a matter of current twentieth century his- tory, the world is now opening up long-sealed regions which under this definition are cold enough for virtue and is pouring the “Northern races” into them. At the beginning of the twenty-first cen- tury, perhaps, the inspiration of the moment at some banquet speech on the advantages of climates cold enough for virtue may sum the result into a single sentence which cannot be written now. be i The yeto of the Wenneker bill granting the re- freshment and candy privileges in Forest Park for less than could have been obtained for them by competitive bids was an act in the public interest. Mayor Wells is to be commended for his business- like guardianship of public interests in matters of this kind.

>.+«.« Se THE FAIR RATES ISSUE. The Western railroads have raised the issue of fair rates by announcing an advance of 2 cents in freight rates on staple cdmmodities—eoal, grain and iron, in retaliation for the 2-cent fare legisla- tion in Western States. The question of fairness of the rates must be determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This issue had to be raised sooner or later, Per- haps it is well that it has been raised now. In order to determine the question of the fairness of this advance, as well as of others which may fol- low, the Interstate Commerce Commission should go into the question of over-capitalization. Let the commission determine whether the roads an- nouncing the advance require it to meet legitimate operating expenses, depreciation, interest charges and dividends on capital actually invested in the lines, or whether the advance is based upon the supposed necessity of making the earning capacity support millions of over-capitalization. In an interview on this subject, Mr. Harriman di- rects attention to the necessity of continued con- struction of railroad lines for the purpose of de- veloping the resources of the country, and asserts that the roads are not over-capitalized because of the large amount of money that has gone into abandoned lines, bridges and terminals. He says there are not a great many roads paying as much as 6 per cent dividends. Mr, Harriman has little re- spect for the intelligence of Americans, if he thinks an argument of this kind will meet the issue. The question is not how much has béen spent in con- struction or how much dividend is being paid on present capitalization, but how much of the eap- italization represents water, for the making good of which the industries of the country must be taxed. The Interstate Commerce Commission has an Op- portunity in the regulation of rates to squeeze the water out ‘of the railroads and thus put the traffic of the country on a fair basis of fair returns for actual investment, It then behooves the State and National government to see that over-capitalization is prevented in the future.

++ —______— It seems that Osler himself comes of a long-lived family. , ee COMET LORE. Someone suggests that if the centrifugal force of the earth, spinning on its axis at the rate of a thousand miles an hour, would throw an intrusive comet, composed of gas or fine dust, to one side as a top throws off light material dropped upon it, the same centrifugal force ought to throw houses and all other loose matter off the earth. If it does not, why should it act differently in the case of a comet ? Because not only is the earth a huge magnet, but it is encased in a sphere of atmospheric gases which press upon everything on the surface of the globe with a pressure of 15 pounds to the square inch. And we, our dwellings, and all other movable ob- jects on the surface of the earth are below this at- mosphere and bound down by it as well as by the earth’s attraction, while a comet would approach on the outside of this protecting atmosphere. In do- ing so it would be repelled, not only by the cen- trifugal force of the revolving earth, but by an enormous cushion of air, much denser, in all prob- ability, than the comet’s material. The earth’s attraction, known as gravitation, must not, of course, be lost sight of. But the other ele- ments in the problem certainly make this factor a)- most negligible. It is well known that comets ap- proach quite close to the sun’s body, but are in every case repelled by its centrifugal force, begin- ning their return journey into space instead of he- ing swallowed up by the “orb of day.” ; During the eruption of Krakatoa, volcanic dust was swept clear around the world in two or three days, at a great height, causing a pink mist. This proved, the scientists say, that at a certain height a wind, which rushes constnatly at a rate of over 500 miles an hour, encompasses the earth, forming an outer shell to its atmosphere. Here is a further protection against wandering comets or other bodies. Most meteors are burned to impalpable dust by the friction with our atmosphere, and never reach the ground. There is certainly no reason to fear the comet. > >-~ The assertion that royalty lacks wit is readily be- lieved, Royalty ean neither make nor take a joke. —~——o4 THE GOOD NEWS, The good news that they are subjects of Uncle Sam will doubtless cause great rejoicing among the newly discovered tribes on pe al Mindoro, What an epoch they have Missed! “Through the tumult and the shouting they were buried away in the deep keeps of the forest, ignorant alike of Dewey and “Hell Roaring Jake” Smith.

and Glass Mortar—Etheric HOLLOW GLASS BRICKS. The demand for hollow bricks and building blocks for house construction has induced glass manufac- turers to put hollow glass bricks on the market, and they promise to be used extensively for novel and artistic effects, says the Builder. The first glass bricks, being solid, proved a failure on account of their cost, but the hollow glass bricks can be made at much less expense. They are lighter and stronger than clay bricks, and are such excellent nonconduc- tors that walls built of them are proof against damp- ness, sound, heat and cold. The bricks are sealed hermetically when hot, and afe placed in walls with a colorless mortar made of special glass. The bond- ing strength of the glass mortar is almost as great as the bricks themselves. FIRST STEEL PULLMAN. The Pullman company has placed on exhibition, says the Toronto Globe, the all-steel sleeping car which it has been developing during the past couple of years. The new car is all steel except the upnol- stery. All decorations that formerly ornamented the cell- ings, panels between windows and berths are steel. The floor is concrete laid on steel girders. The car is as nearly wreck and fire proof as it is possible to make such a structure. ETHERIC WAVES SUPPLY LIGHT AND HEAT Etheric waves are utilized to carry messages through the wireless air to distant points. It has been demonstrated that these waves may be made to carry light and manifest themselves in the glow of incandeseent lamps. If light, then, as suggested, why not heat and power? It is only a question of the number of vibrations in a second. It may turn out, says the Ohio State Journal, that the Almighty did not create Niagara Falls simply as a wonder or a beauty, but that he intended it as a source of light, heat and power for all the nation when the coal and the forests had disappeared and mankind was threatened with darkness and cold. We have often wondered what the people will do in those days, First Steel Sleeping Car Exhibited—A Pocket Wireless Receiver—Hollow Glass Bricks Waves May Displace Coal. when they will have nothing to burn, and, of course, the time is coming, and not many centuries off. Now this etheric wave idea is as firmly fixed in fact as steam or gravitation. Light as well as words ean be sent through the trackless air. It is being done. Heat will be the next thing; for they seem to go hand in hand everywhere. Now, suppose that up at Niagara some great machine be erected to start the light-bearing ether wave across the skies, and that in Columbus we have our appliances, reared aloft to catch it when it comes. Then we need only to sit in our rooms and enjoy the light and heat of the tumbling cataract. It seems almost too poetic to be successful, and yet we should know that the farther science advances into the secrets of nature the more poetic it becomes. A POCKET WIRELESS. An English electrical engineer, Ernest Oldenbourg, has recently invented a new telegraphic receiver which, it is declared, is sensitive enough to detect the most delicate impulses which even a pocket bat- tery could send out. This instrument, which ig at present known as the capilliform receiver, is more sensitive than the brain; it is said to transcend all previous inventions in deli- cacy. It depends on the fact that mercury in a ver- tical capillary tube—like that of a thermometer— rises and falls when an electric current is passed through It. This fact has long been known. Mr. Oldenbourg’s invention consists in magnifying and in utilizing it in a shape which enables it to be used practically as the receiving instrument of a telegraphic installation. Its peculiar value is, it is claimed, that it will re- spond to far smaller currents than those at present used; a mere fraction of a volt is sufficient to work it. Mr. Oldenbourg asserts, says the Boston Tran- script, that it will be quite possible with the aid of his new instrument to make a telegraphic apparatus by which anyone walking about the floor could send intelligible messages, for instance, to a confederate on the platform, where a mind-reading act is being

performed, without anyone else knowing about them.

If hand is between the two figures of the dial, it stands for the smaller of the two figures, except when it rests between 0 and 9. In this case it represents 9. After writing reading, multiply this number by the small number Called ‘the “‘constant.”’ The product is the number of watt hours that have passed through the meter. A thou- sand watt hours make a kilowatt hour, thus, if you read at beginning and end of month, the difference in the two readings is the number of watt hours used during the month.

If the Blank Machine Co. should invite young men to attend its Technical Training School there would doubtless be as many applicants as would be needed, allowing for plenty of picking and choosing. It would be rather a novel school which, instead of exacting @ tuition fee, paid its students for attending Its classes, yet when one gets down to it, the apprentice system is nothing more nor less than a school, if it is con- ducted with fairness to the boys to give them an allround training. It would be a real trade school in which the pupils would bind themselves to attend cldsses for a given period of years, under the usual apprentice bond, and their classes would be in the shop, where they would learn to be mechanics. There are plenty of good boys, first-rate material from which to mold future foremen and superinten- dents, and occasionally a managing officer, who, but for their ill-advised friends, would be glad to enter some oceupation where even the immediate remunera- tion would be material.

THE FEMININE YOUNG PERSON. From the New York World. According to Dr. J. J. Walsh, a lecturer on Joan of Arc sit is the young women who see most clearly ie Tite. They are the true interpreters. Think of it—a girl of 17 chief commander of the army of a nation! Think of Juliet, not M; Imogen, 17; Cordelia, under 14! Always Shakspeare puts the burden of ethical responsibility on young girls.” Nowadays it is more likely to be Gwendolen, 17, and Maud, 16, at the matinee munching caramels and bearing their burden of ethical responsibility light- ly to all outward appearances. But why not? There are no more armies for young girls to command and mamma monopolizes the leadership of social-reform movements. Having no great dramas of their own to perform, they delegate ee duty of interpreting life to the playwright, to the/great profit of the syn- dicate. Yet young women have made themselves the inter- preters of our national life to a point where the queés- tion about everything, with Podsnap, is whether it will bring a blush to the cheek of the young person. The young miss is to America what the British mat- ron is to England—the censor of morals whose ver- dict is final and irrevocable. There are ungallant souls who begin to regard her as a good deal more of a nuisance than as an interpreter of life.

Four Renditions by College | Students in Immense Audi- torium This Year.

LINDSBORG, Kan., March 23. OLY WEEK will be marked this H year by four renditions of Messiah’’ chorus of 280 voices, fn the national musical world and in- strumental musicians selected from the Swedish community hereabouts. It is expected there will be 10,000 visitors here to attend these‘ concerts, which be- | event, eagerly looked forward to by music-loving residents of Central Kansas. To the community and many of those who will come from farther away, attendance has become sort of an annual pilgrimage. ...“"The Messiah” has been a feature of the L ran. Church Holy Week ob- serv .§.ere since 1882. First one ren- dition was given in the college chanel. Then two concerts were necessary to accommodate those who came to hear and finally the chapel was declared in- ate for the audiences and an au- ditorium seating 4000 persons was erect- ed from the funds derived from the con- certs. Few of the two theusand resi- dents of Lindsborg miss a perforraance, and their relatives and fellow chmurch- men drive twenty miles or more to hear the music now so familiar to them and which they sing and whistle in the )ar- Vest field and at the plow. Many of the men and women approaching middle age and now substantial farmers ‘in the Smoky Hill Valley have participated in The Messiah’’. renditions in former years, and follow the Handel oratorio as closely as d@ the participants.

PARIS, March 23. HIS lively city.-may soon have an- other gay institution to add to its attractions. A Deputy, | Rouby of Correze, has courageously come forward and laid a bill before the committee of the Chamber of Dep- uties for establishing the pari-mutual all over Paris. What is the pari- mutuel? It is official betting in- stitution on courses, Known in America as a poolroom. The way the system is worked in France is both picturesque and profit- able. On every race course there are acores of little booths planted in rows. In these booths at Longchamp or Auteuil, for instance, there are two men, who deal out to the public little Mrs, Cora B, Miller Makes @ Fortune Started’ a Few Years Ago with No Capital and Now Employs Nearly One Hundred Clerks and Stenographers. Until a few years ago Mrs. Cora BR. Miller Iived in a manner similar to that 6f thon- sands of other very poor women of the aver- age small town and village. She now resides in her own palatial brown-stone residence, -and is considered one of the most successful busineas women in the United States. the race

The ticket costs $1 in the pelouse and $2 in the pesage, whether it is for win or for place. As soon as the race starts a bell rings, and the booths are in- stantly closed. Winnings Paid From Bets. When the race is over the number of the winning horse is pasted up, and of course, only the slips of paper cor- responding to the winner’s number are worth anything. The speculation then is what the lucky holders of the winning number will get for their slips of paper. It may be anything from $2 to $200, according as the win- ner was a great favorite or an ex- +tréme outsider. The result is only known after the entire number of tickets sold at the booths has been calculated. The count is made very rapidly and usually in five or ten minutes after the race the result is posted, the tick- ets of the winning number are paid, while those of the losers are scattered over the field by their uniucky hold- ers, who, however, if they have an- other coin left, will try their luck again in the following race. In the course of the past vear the State has increased its profits from the official betting booths by $8,000,000. The profits result from the fact that the pari-mutual is an official monop- oly, and the State deducts 8 per cent from all the money it handles. It also explains the reason why it is tolerated by the authorities. On the one hand, the Government finds it a prolific source of revenue, and, o1 the other, Parisians are delighted at the chance of combining gambling, sport and taxes all in one. Rookmakers Reap Profit. There-has hitherto been only one in- convenience, and that is, no betting could be done off the field, at least open- ly. In order to have the pleasure of doing so, one had to go in person to the booths of the pari-mutuel, inside the racecourse, and no provision was made for betting in the city. However, in spite of this. a large traffic has een going on constantly in Paris cafes and bars, and bookmakers have been con- ducting a thriving trade in secret, ac- cepting bets from anyone willing te take the risk. and paying according to

Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned of a mild and simple preparation that cured her- self and several friends of female disorders ard piles. She was besieged by so many women needing treatment that she decided to furnish it to those who might call for it. She started with only a few dollars’ capiéal, and the remedy, possessing true and wonder- ful merit, producing many cures when doc- tors and other remedies failed, the demand grew so rapidly she was several times com- pelled to seek larger quarters.

POPULATING A “DESERT”

Bringing Landless to Railroad He Built in Manless Land, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 23.—B. F. Yoakum. whose activities in the rail- roaa and development line seem to be never-ending, has undertaken an enter- prise which is the biggest of the kind he has yet attempted, and which pro- mises to bring tremendous benefit to Texas, and especially the coast section. Mr. Yoakum is seeking to colonize sev- eral thousand high-class Italian farmers on lands in territory through which his roads run. This scheme, togéther with the one by which German immigrants, the first shipload of which are now on their way to Galveston, are to be brought — into South Texas, promises to quickly settle a vast region that has heretofore been almost uninhabited and unproductive. Three or four years ago, when Yoa- kum began the construction of the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railroad from a point near Corpus Christi to Brownsville, old railroad men shook their heads and predicted that it would be a failure. But Yoakum built the road and has since extended it to Hous- He built a railroad tinto a manless land, and he now proposes to bring to it the landless man. Since the Brownsville roag was com- pleted the development in the country through which it runs, theretofore re- garded as little better than a desert, has been little short of marvelous. It is this country that furnished St. Louis with the first vegetables in the early spring. The production of sugar has been de- veloped until the Brownsville sugar sec- tion promises to rival that of Louisiana. a Big Plans for Desert. The railroad and the artesian well have made this country blossom like the rose, and Yoakum has only begun the working out of the big schemes he has planned. The Italian immigration prop- osition is the next step, and he has gone at this in the same thorough manner that has characterized all his other works. About three years ago Baron Mayor des Planches, the Italian ambassador, was induced to make a tour through Texas. The idea was to interest him in the finding of homes for the surplus population of his own country. He came, studied conditions under the tact- ful direction of railroad men and others, among them Mr. Yoakum’s representa- tives, and reported to his Government that there were fine opportunities in South Texas for the good farmers ot Italy. The upshot of it {is that the Ital- fan Government has taken up the mat- ter and has sent a commission to look over the lana and select locations for the colonies. This commission is now in Texas in tow of . B. Schmidt, immigration commissioner for the Frisco-Rock Isl- and system. The commission is com- posed of Giovanni Brunialti, son of At- tillo Brunialti, a member of the Italian Parliament and a Councilor of State; Tioto. Tabet, son of Cavalier Eugene Tabet, Commercial Advocdte of the Bank of Italy, and two expert Italian farmers, Manio Bosinguini and Sera- fino Carboniero. Donates Homes for Thousands. Yoakum has offered to donate 70,000 acres of land along the line of the Brownsvilie railroad to the Italian Government to be apportioned among the Italian immigrants, provided only first-class farmers who understand truck-raising and fruit culture are sent. The Government experts have recent- ly reported that the Brownsville coun- try is admirably adapted t6 the culture oi citrus fruits and olives, and it igs ex- pected that the Italian colonists will engage in this industry. Yoakum personally, aside from the holdings of the Brownsville road, ownhs hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the rich valley of the Rio Grande in the vicinity of Brownsville, and across the river in the vicinity of Matamoros. He has been acquiring this land.in big tracts during the last three years, sand only recently purchased 125,000 acres in M+«xico, near Matamoras. These land holdings are only a part of his great general plan, which is to extend the Frisco-Rock Island system from its present Texas terminus at Brady through San Antonio south to a connection with the Brownaville road, and thence to build across the Rilo Grande and on to Mexico City, giving the shortest line to the Mexican capital. With such a road and his land hold- ings, Yoakum could easily be the King of the great Southwest, and in a posi- tion to reap the first fruits of the mar- velous development that is going on in Oklahoma, Texas and Mexico, BOGUS PRIEST GAVE PRESENTS TO THE: POPE.

You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na_ stomach tablets are sold under a guarantee to re- fund the money unless. they cure, when no other treatment for stomach troubles is sold in this manner.

/ When Mail Was Tampered With and Delivery Uncertain | ——— —— —_ —Queen Victoria’s Biscuits a Weekly Task. LONDON, March 23. RTHUR HERBERT, who was one of those who lost their lives in the ill-fated Berlin, was a mem- ber of that most interesting body, the KHine's Foreign Service Messengers. It if ‘the duty of these couriers, who are rife in number, to carry dispatches ffm the King and the Foreign Office t@sambassadors. Mr. Herbert was trav- efing on the fortrightly service to Con- stantinople. Every Tuesday a mes- semger journeys by Harwich and the Hook of Tioiland—one week to Constan- t ple, and the next to St. Petersburg. { ‘the former route he visits Berlin, nna, Relgrade, Sofia and Constanti- n@ple and drops his dispatches on the y from The Hague, Darmstadt, Mu- h and Bucharest. ‘fhere is, perhaps, little real use for tiese messengers today, but the serv- in@ was establisaed when mails were so offen tampered with and delivery un- cestain, and no change has been sug- gested. | Railroads Special Arrangements. Bhe railway companies make special abpangements for the King’s messenger, affhough he is an ordinary fare finan- ci@ly. He is by courtesy free of cus- t 8, which facilitates the rapid travel wich is the main purpose of his work. He carries a six-inch silver gilt badge and a& number. The badge consists of the Royal arms, motto and E. R. in an ovel surmounted by a crown, and-from it hanes a silver greyhound, which gives

the messengers their romantic nieck- name—the Silver Greyhounds. Hie also has a courier’s passport and a handsome uniform. The passport, signed by the Secretary of the Foreign Office, bears the royal coat-of-arms, and requests ‘‘all whom it may con- cern” to allow the King’s courier to “nass freelv,’’ and to ‘“‘give him all the assistance and protection of which he may stand in need.”’ The uniform is never worn except in time of war, an the courier wishes to pass through contending gountries. It consists of a blue frock coat with gilt buttons, a gold-edged waistcoat, scarlet- striped trousers and peaked cap, with the crown and E. R. in gilt in front. Often Carries Personal Messages. The messenger carries his precious dispatches, which he must guard with his last ounce of blood against an ene- my, in a Ganvas bag, tied, labeled and sealed. The dispatches do not always deu! strictly with matters of state. The courier is frequently employed in car- rying personal messages from the King and Queen to their continental rela- tives. During the late Queen Victoria's reign he sometimes carried such trifles as specially-made English’ shirts for ambassadors, and nats and bonnets for the Queen’s friends. For years, indeed, a messenger would call each week at Brussels to receive from the court kitchens a box of spe- ciai biscuits, of which the Queen was very fond. The box of biscults was solemnly sealed up at the British lega- tion with the official seal and con- veyed with the utmost care and privacy to Windsor.

Gotnier says French women are consistently misjudged by foreigners. They are unjustly, he says, regarded as frivolous and gay. He also contends that most foreign visitors do not come to the city for art, seclence and beauty, but'to see charming women, whom they regard as light-headed and whom they think they can win over easily. The vause of the attitude of the for- eigners toward French women, Gothier tnkes to be the fact that Parisian vis- jtors know only women of the streets, actresses, waitresses and flirts.

To quote further: “The cowboy of the prairie, the pros- pector, the miner, the farmer from the Transvaal, Klondike or Australia, the money handlers of all Chicagos of the world, all dream of Paris, but not about the lectures at The Sorbonne, the sa- lons of the Independence, or of other artistic and instructive places. They dream of French women whom they suppose to be captivating and entertain- ing.’’ Monsieur Gothier reads a sharp les- son to French novelists, whom he holds partly responsible for the ideas of foreigners about French women. He says some of those whose bones rest in Pantheon should blush in their graves for the shame their works have brought te French women. =

SUNDAY MORNING—§T. LOUIS POST - DISPATCH —MARCH 24, 1907

F YOU like marketing, then you ] should do it in France,” sald Mrs. Charles Humann, enthusiastically, as she lunched with some friends and talked of things culinary. “Nowhere in the world is the pur- chase of eatables so attractive. “We live at Bellevue, a Paris Suburb about ten miles from the city, when Mr. Humann and myself are in France. J am free to confess that we have be- céme perfect globe-trotters the last two vears, however, and have only spent the summers at our home. The big, open and beautifully clean market, with ev- erything as I never saw it displayed before in any city, is only a few blocks} from our country place. So every morn- ing I take my maid or else my two big Newfoundland dogs and start forthe place of meats and vegetables. 17 he dogs are so well trained that each will carry a good-sized basket in his mouth and never think of investigating the con- ents. . “] usually start with the meat pur- cltase for the day and whenever possible 1 patronize my fishwife. She is a de- light. Imagine being greeted by the most cordial smiles and courtesies from a weather-beaten old French woman, who compliments and flatters like a dip- lomat. She always expects to be beaten down from her first price. All the mar- keters do that. So I look aj a fresh mackerel and idly inquire the price. ‘S1x- een sous?’ t “Oh. impossible!’ I exclaim. ‘Never will I pay so much! Ten sous is alf that I will give, for he is such a small fish, hardly enough for one meal. “Then old Francine turns her mouth corners down and lowers her evelids. “The sea is more salt this morning, @ear Madame. For all the little broth- @a Gnd sisters of this fine mackeral have wept with such great grief that he has been taken away from them. Madame surely would not have the heart to pay me less than 16 sous.”_ ' “And Madame certainly hasnt. No- ‘body could withstand that poetic plea. Wegetables cost a mere song in France, and they are the very choic- est. The French, you know, utilize everything that grows and is green for either a salad. or a cooked vege- table. But the meats! They are fear- fully expensive! Just about’ three times as much as one pays in the lnited States. Of very goed quality, however, but only a uxury that wealthy people can afford. The poor of Paris and other cities and the country people, seldom have meat. “Fowls are superfine, but also high in price. I pay from a dollar and a quarter to two dollars for chickens, and those of only moderate size at that. Let me tell you a supurb dish of chicken that we sometimes enjoy. First, you must get a deep cooking Vessel. We have a particular one in France, made of pottery and some- This chicken dish is cooked entirely on the top of the stove. The fowl goes jn first with about a dozen small onions, and is browned on both sides with the of butter. When it is partly done I add a pound or two of fresh mushrooms and pour a geet of champagne over the whole, pu on the cover and let the chicken ~ ¢8 accompaniments cook rather glowly for an hour longer. .It is de- licious!. “TIT am now getting accustomed to do- ing without some of the groceries that we have at the smallest corner shops in this country.- But it was very hard at first to greeted with shouts of amazement when I asked for baking powder, for molasses, for brown sugar and a dozen different things which we consider necessities {n this country. “Grape fruit is one delightful fruit that I miss. We cannot grow it in France and it is never imported.” Mrs. Humann is here for a stay of Fome indefiniteness. Her husband is in Cuba and as the weather is so warm she did not want to join him for only a short time.. They have a Seuth American trip in prospect and may go there next month for a summer in the highlands of Brazil. They have many French friends who now live in Brazil and are cenpating a novel and inter- vis Mr. and Mrs. Humann are en- thusiastic motor car travelers, and are ighly elated that the automobile is no ; ra stranger in Rio Janeiro and bther large Brazilian cities. Holy Week will somewhat mitigate against much entertaining for the brides of Easter. While Lent has prob- bly been less ebserved this year than Tn a dozen past seasons, while people a gone to plays, play bridge, suchre a “Five Hundred,” even danced in- fermally and made merry in a hundred different styles, yet Holy Week is rather more strictly observed. So, with the exception of a few family dinners, which are perfectly permissable since people must eat—and nething could be more conventional than cating with Members of one’s family—and perhaps a@ very few small bridemaid's luncheons, mere will be little on the calendar un- til Easter is here. Among the family dinner will be one ven on Tuesday night by Mr. and Mrs. -haries Nugent at their ndsome new . This ts primarily for Miss Julia e, who is a‘niece of Mrs. Nugent, and her flance. Mr. Duncan Meler. It 1 include all persens of the Nugent lies, all the Lake relatives, the connection and the Duncan fam- ¥y members. Quite unnecessary to state that this dinner will be large. Misa Judith Hoblitzelle and Mr. Ar- thur Clifford have declined all invita- tiens for the week. On Easter Monday hey will be honored guests of Mrs. Al- Clifford, who is to give a dinner r all the bridal party at her West- land place residence. Miss Nellie Crouch and Mr. Thomas W. Carter Jr., whose wedding is the ent of this week, taking place on ednesday, will have considerable ety to precede their marriage. Last Friday night Mr. and Mrs. John Wil- Vs of New York gave the bridal y a theater party at the Olympic, owed by a sup at the Jefferson. Arnold of ttsburg, Miss Dor-

ia gehy Williams and Mr. Williams of New ork, are all here, having arrived late last week. The party therefore included ese young women, with Mr. and Mrs. n H ne of Massachusetts, and ra. oyd Crouch, Thomas W. uch Jr., also of New York, Sidney by, Sam Kennard, Richard Ken- Mr. and Mrs. Roy Carter. On turday night Mr. and Mrs. Thomas er .

Miss Nickell is to be the hostess at a theater party on I riday night of next week, and Miss Helen Fisher will give a dinner on Saturday. Miss Grace Moon and Mr. Stewart Mc- Donald, whose ween is to take place on the second of April, will have some agreeable entertaining done for them by family friends. Today Miss’ Lee of Pittsburg, Miss Bowler of Cleveland and Miss McDonald of Chicago are expected and early this week the festivities will begin. Mr. Joseph jriffiths, one of the groomsmen, is to entertain the bridal party with a dinner at one of the down- town hotels. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Givens will also give a dinner at the Woman's Club on Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Moon will entertain with a dinner! on Saturday night, and several lunch- eons and small daytime functions are arranged for the intervening days. That genial gentleman, Mr. Henry P. Hilliard, is going to Europe this sum- mer, with his leave-takings to be a mat- ter of the next few days. Accordingly Mr. and Mrs. Daniel M. Houser, who have greatly enjoyed Mr. Hilliard this past winter, since he has frequently entertained them and other guests with box parties and club dinners, gave a farewell dinner for him last night at their West Pine residence. Their dinner table was a mass of pink roses and white lilacs, and very spring- like in its picture. The guests were: Dr. and Mrs. L. H. Laidley, Mrs. Frank O'Fallon, Miss Mary Tutt, Miss Mary Clark. Miss Nellie Clark, Miss Mary Semple Scott, Col. R. K. Evans, Capt. W. T. Littebrant, Mr. F. J. McConnell and Mr. R. C. St. John, with Mr. Hil- liard. Table d’hote luncheons, especially on days when card clubs fiourish in the West End, have become very pop- ular. The excellent menu of five courses, combined with the modest price, which is only 50 cents, has as much to do with the success of these luncheons as anything else. Last Wednesday Mrs. Charles Filley gave a party, her guests being all rel- atives and family connection, and in- cluding Mrs. Edward H. Simmons, her daughter, Mrs. Edward S&S. Pierce, Mrs. Thomas Skinker Maffitt, Miss Lily Belle Pierce, and Mrs. Alexander Douglas. Mrs. Joseph Chambers had Mrs. Albert Lawnin with her. Mrs. Finney entertained her daughter, Mrs. John Douglas, and also Mrs. Richard Shelton, while Mrs. George Lacey Crawford. Mrs. Longstreth and Mrs. Lida Bevis Roth were together. Miss Florence Hill had a party of fur women friends. while Mrs. Charles Humann and Mrs. Francis X. Barada were guests at another table. St. Louis women bridge plavers have come to be regarded as formidable, at least in Indianapolis. A woman of that city who came to town for a visit last week said: “It’s in St. Louis that Miss Helen Gempp lives, isn’t it? She visited a member of my club when in Indianap- oiis a short time ago. Nineteen bridge parties were given for her in the thir- teen days of her stay. Miss Gempp won no less than nine first prizes. “T think that all of those prizes were candle sticks, for I may as well con- fess that Indianapolis has gone stark, Staring mad on the subject of candle- sticks.” Indications point to a large social fn- terest in the May Show of the Missis- sippt Valley Kennel Club. Spring breezes waft to me the pleas- ant information that the club has in mind several decided innovatiorgy -with respect to plans that are to include the women of town, whether they are dog owners and exhibitors or not. Some, of the best knewn and most influential] matrons and maids will be asked to lend their presence and patronage for cer- tain days of the first week in May, when high bred doggies assemble for chorus work at the Jai Alai building. The splendid condition of this build- ing, a determination of the Kennel Club is to appoint the place perfectly, put down tarpaulins, decorate with flowers and add all the accessories of a well- conducted reception (minus the orches- tra, which—will be supplied by E:x ~hdi A, B, C, down to Z, thems@ives) w 1% add a social spice to the sessigns that cannot fail to attract that following of ‘“‘best people’’ which all dog shoes do in other cities, By the way, do you know that our show last spring, crowded though it was and unattractive as to place, ranks third in.the country. with Only the Madison: Square Garden and that of Boston ahead of us?. If we ‘can beat Chicago in this glorious manuer and not half try, let us pull tog@ther and give those other two shows a hard pushing for first place. LUCY HOSMER STOUGHTON.

EDWARD VII RENEWS INTEREST IN STAGE

LONDON, March 23. ING EDWARD and the royal fam- K ily have been patronizing the theaters to an unusual extent since the beginning of the year. His | Majesty, who has always been particu- larly interested in the French theater, has seen the French plays at the New Royalty on four occasions since Jan. 1, and during his recent stay in Paris he went to the play almost every night. On an average, King Edward goes to the West End theaters about fifteen times during the theatrical season, which ranges from August to the end of the following Julv. This its generous support, by which the theater benefits both from a social and a business point of view. The Prince and Princess of Wales have also had an exceptional spell of theater- going this year. They have seen many of the more popular productions at the West End houses, and they have taken 3+ 1 oh dag Mag: them to see ‘‘Sind- . Peter Pan,” and “The Y of the Guard.” rss Agent Sees Play First. The arrangements for a royal visit to the play are made through George Ash- ton, the theatrical agent, whose advice as to the plays to see is very enerall followed.

Perhaps the management of the Coliseum meant to profit by these ex- amples when they built their royal box in the center of the groun@ floor of that gorgeous playhouse. They also provid- ed an ingenjous electric car, which was intended to convey the King along the vestibule from the main entrance to the door of the box. This contrivance, however, failed to act at the critical moment. The King sat for a moment in the car, expressed his admiration of the idea, then got out and walked to his box. In the matter of plays, King Edward's tastes are eclectic. He does not often

atronize melodrama, although lately he 1as made exceptions in favor of “Lights Out,” ‘‘The Bondman,” and “The Prodigal Son.’’ Nor does he favor tragedy, unless the attraction is Bern- hardt in a classic role, although in the old days he never missed an Irving pro- duction at the Lyceum. Likes Brisks Comedies. His Majesty is attracted principally by operas, brisk modern comedies, French and German farces, and viva- cious musical plays. Opera in England would be in a parlous condition today if it had not been for the unsparing pat- ronage of King Edward. When, after the death of Sir Augustus Harris, the fate of opera in this country trembled in the balance, it was the King who came to the rescue with his influ- ence. He was indefatigable in his at- tendance at Covent Garden. Even after a hard day's work he would be in his box for the overture, and would rarely leave until the finish. Royal command performances, too, have been very numerous of late years. There is naturally considerable eager- ness to take part in these performances, and once or twice managers have re- placed their regular ‘‘supers’”’ with per- sonal friends. But this is sharply depre- cated, and, if discovered—as it has been —the royal displeasure is unmistakably expressed.

Mr. Quinn has been married enly once be- fore, but this will make the fifth mat- rimonial venture for his aged betrothed, all of whose fermer husbands are dead of natural causes.

The arrival] of the White Star liner Cedric in New York from the Mediterranean brought it, says The Tribune, James Henning, a first-class cabin passenger, went mad in midocean and was put under guard, the cause of his attack of insanity being continual brooding over his sorrows. His three children, Charles, aged 6; Edwin, aged’ 11; and William, aged 14, were burned to death in the great theater horror, and his wife was so badly injured in the same disaster that she died six weeks later. At the time of the fire Mr. Henning and his family lived at 5748 Prairie ave- nue. Sinee then he has been a wan- derer, with nominal residence in An Arbor. His brother, Edward Henning. is a broker here and lives at the Chica- go Beach Hotel. It was during the return voyage from a long stay in Africa, and aleng the Mediterranean that Mr. Hennin be- came insane. He soon developed sul- cidal symptoms and was locked in his berth. When the Cedric anchored off Sandy Hook Mr. Henning got on deck and attempted to jump Into the sea. He was caught by the cabin steward as he was running to the rail. He put up a sharp fight, biting the steward on the hand. With the help of other mem- bers of the crew the steward overpow- ered Henning. He was put in a strait jacket. When the ship docked at New York later he was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, whence he was transferred to the psy- cophatic ward at Bellevue. He had told some of the passengers on the boat that his wife and children had been burned to death in the Iroquels fire. Mr. Hen- ning became violently insane at a church service on the boat. ‘My God! I can see them now!” he shouted, and, leaping from his seat, he rushed up on the deck. Thence on until the end of the voyage he was under guard. From Maine to California. A Household Word the World Over.

Recently a novel departure in the line of proprietary medical ad- vertising was devised by the Castoria people—that of asking the indorsement of local. physicians in various towns.

QUALITY I8§ IMPROVED

Intensified Farming in Texas and Other States, a

and written about the “passing of the range” and “the man with the hoe.” Only a few years ago it was thought that the stockman would always have Colorade, Wyoming, Montana and New Mexico. But along comes the “man with the hoe” and the big ranches of the cattlemen of these states are being cut into small farms, where all sorts of crops are raised, as well as some good cattle, instead of the big herds of common quality that was formerly all that was produced. Take the State of Texas as ain exam- ple. We find that where only a few years ago roamed the buffalo and the longhorn, almost without “let or hin- drance,’’ there has been a great change, and many of the big’ pastures have been cuc into small farms, where cotton and cane are supreme. Through a bet- ter knowledge of farming and stocx- raising, nearly every kind of crop is row raised. A few years ago where one ranch- man owned 10,000 head of common cat- tle, today there are a hundred farm- average of 100 head of cattle. Throuyzn breeding up, killing off the ticks, prop- erly feeding and caring for the smaller number, they are often ready for mar- ket as 2-year-olds at a much higher price than the cattle from the larger herds formerly commanded as 3 and 4- year-olds. ' Land Valucs Are Increased. Lands that could have been bought a few years ago at from $1 to $15 acre, are today worth from $10 to $50, and the higher values of the lands made it necessary to produce -greater vields of grain crops and a better class of live stock in order to make the same or a better margin of profit from the investment in real estate. Ard a glance at the recent report of the Bureau o/7 Statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture, giv- ing the number and value of farm ani- mals in the country on Jan. last, shows that as the land increases n value, better crops and live stock produced. For example: Texas 993,122 milk cows, valued at $24,579,770, an average value of $24.75 each, and §&.- 236,549 other cattle, valued at $10),85t,544, or an average of $12 per head; while the State of Illinois has 1,161,500 milk cows, valued at $40,652,500, or an average value of $85 per head, and 2,231,000 other cattle, valued at $49,238,170, or an average of $22 | per head Arkarsas has 400,000 milk cows, val- ued at $7,000,000, or an average of $17.5), pen head, and 729,000 other cattle, val- ued at $5,512,940, or an average value of $7 per head; while the State of Missouri has 975,100 milk cows, valued at ,26.u2-,- 700, or an average value of $27 per hed, and 2,397,000 other cattle, valued at $45,- 950,490, or an average value of $19 per head, or j Better Cattle Produced. Many other comparisons could be made, but they would ‘Se but a repetl- tion of the fact that as iands improve in value, the number of cattle is not de- creased, but a better class is always pro- duced. And what has been said in re- gard to cattle also app'ties to horses, hogs and sheep. It might also be stated that chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese are also important factors in tInany sec- tions in deriving a profit from high priced land. Better crops than are raised todav ever before. Land that forme rly duced from 30 to 50 bushels of through a better selection of seed, bet- ter cultivation and the u-¢ of fertilizers, is today producing from 5) to 7) bushels to the acre. And the same? percentage will apply wheat, oats, barley and other crops. The open range is practically gone, and there will be little need of Govern- ment control from now on. The man with the hoe and the small stock raiser will take care of the question. Ina few vears there will be double the number of live stock on the same ranges, and they will be a better class and bet- ter cared for. Hardly a week goes by without some of the big ranches con- taining thousands of acres, being sold to be divided up into small. farms or ranches. The passing of the range and the old- time cowboy. with his deeds of daring the facing of dangers, the feuds true friendships, that were tablished, awd lone told in story, caused a new condition of things. Tie press of humanity from the over- crowded sections of the country forced many to seek new fields, and it is not strange that the rich rewards promised from industry should attract them to these laree tracts of grazing linnds And with their coming encroachments were made upon the domain of the long- horn king, and where cattle: had for- merly roamed at will without disturb- ance, the turned furrow made its ap- pearance, and the open range began to be circumscribed. At first cattlemen resented the coming of the) stranger, and those of a pessimistic turn of mind predicted the ruination of their busi- ness, tut the increasing importance ot the cattle business in Texas, New Mex- ico ant other range States, shows how far tl to New Era Brings Profit. It Is true that the cutting up of the ranches ruined the longhorn business, but out of that ruin sprang a new era in the livestock history of the range country which shall be the means of in-

KAISER’S COMPLIMENT PLEASES THE FRENCH. PARIS, March 23.—The French press is very much elated over the Kaiser's intention to ask Mme. Suzanne Depres, the French actress now playing in Ber- lin, to organize a French theatrica! season for the German capita] next wi-- ter. This is taken to be as a beginning of frierdly relations between the two countries. Although the French stil] the Franco-German war, which cost them so much and gave Germany so decisive a victory, they seem willing to forgive and forget, as long as compli- ments are paid to France. The Kaiser assisted at one of Mme. Depres’ preser.tations of Racine’s ‘‘Phedres” in Berlin and applauded her liberally. It was at that occasion that he conceived the idea of inviting wer to remember

SUNDAY MORNING—QT. LOUIS ies CITY OFFICLS ARRESTED FOR DENYING GRAFT Speaker of Tennessee House of Representatives Resents Being Called ‘“Liar.’’ ‘RESOLUTION WAS PLAIN Mayor and 23. Councilmen Charged With Contempt of State Assembly. FACE. JAIL SENTENCES Most Prominent Lawyers of State Engaged—Joke ~ Flavor Is Lost. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23.—May- or I’. O. Morris and 23 members of the Nashville City Council are under arrest on warrants issued by John T. Cunning- ham, Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, and are awaiting the action of Judge John W. Childress of the Cir- cuit Court on a prayer for writ of ha- beas corpus. The ‘prisoners’ are charged with contempt of the House of Representatives, and while they are at liberty, so far as literal custody is con- cerned, they are in iegal custody of Ser- geant-at-Arins Vernon Sharp of the liouse. ; The charge is based upon the unani- mous adoption of a resolution in open session of the Council, declaring Speak- ; er Cunningham a liar and that he lied when he charged the City Council with being a band of bribed agents of the Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Co The Councilmen undertook to refute - this charge, and first considered a res- olution declaring the utterances to be “false.” An amendment unanimously adopted, changed the term from “falsq¢’ to *lie.”’ Trouble has beén brewing between the Nashville city officials and the Legisia- ture since the opening day of the ses- sion, Jan. 7.: One of the first bills in- troduced in the Legislature, termed the Talbert Bill, provided that ne city or towr. could refuse the use of its strecis to a public service corporation “such as telephone and telegraph companies. This bill was bitterly fought by the friends of the sC umberland Telephone & Telegraph Co., but it passed both the House and he Senate with a good mna- jority. Speech Overlooked at Tim Just prior to the meeting of the “esto lature, the Nashville City Council had made a contract with the Cumberland company by which the company was to pay in to the city treasury $10,000 per year for its franchise, so long as no other company was given a franchise. During the discussion of the bill, Speaker Cunningham called another member to the chair and made one of the most scathing addresses ever heard in the Capitol. e supported the bill, he said, because the average city council could not be depended upon to give the people justice and that they could usually be bought. He said that Nashville had furnished a fresh illustration of this fact by giving one company an exclusive franchise af- ter most of its members have been elected on a ticket promising telephone competition. e Council, he declared, was the tool the Cumberland Tele- hone Co., which had bought and paid or it. and that anything in the power of the Council was forthcoming to the company when demanded. This speech was made Feb. 14, the day the telephone bill passed the House and became a law. Members of the ("ty Council noted the reference to them, but said nothing for two weeks. J. H. Bas- kette, a member of the Counce: ‘acn wrote a letter to Speaker Cunningham asking him if he had been correctly quoted and if he had actually made the remarks credited to him in the local pa- pers. No reply came from the Speaker and Feb. 28 the Council adopted the Tesolution that brought the crisis. Resolution Made Stronger. Councilmay Baskett was auther of the resolution denouncing Speaker Cunningham and he wrote the words “false” and a “‘‘falsifier’’ referring to Cunningham and the charges. E. M. Wrenne offered an amendment using the words “lie and “‘liar,”’ and the resolution as amended was adopted and given to the papers. Mayor Morris signed the resolution with the femark that he congratulated the Council in this re- senting the accusations. At that time Speaker C roamenam was in East Tennessee with one of the spe- cial investigating committees, but on his return to ashville he merely said: “We phe see what can be done when the lature mects.”’ the ‘Le slature reconvened March 12 and thee pot began to boil. Oné of the ‘first acts of the Speaker after calling the House to order was to rise to a point of personal] privilege and in a long ch he outlined all that had trans- ‘ire red, reading the resolution passed by City Council, He said such conduc: was in contempt of the House and he asked that a committee be appointed to fully investigate the matter and report back to the House whether or not this conduct was in contempt. This com- mittee finally reported that the members of the City Council were in contempt and pocmemended that oe be pro- ceeded against. Thereupon the “aker and Clerk of the House were : rected tO ssue warrants for the arrest of the ty officials and deliver warrants to the @ant-at-Arms with instructions to bring the officials before the House to answer the charge. Hearing of this Mayor Norris called a Special session of the City Council when another resolution was unanimously adopted stating that no apologies or re- tractions were due and practically reit- erating all that was contained in the first resolution. This was fuel to the fire and Sergeant- at-Arms Sharpe placed the offfrials un- der arrest. City Attorney Hill McAlis- * promptly asked for a writ of habeas Soitan in the Cireuit Court.

The tragedy for which he was ar- raigned took place during the holidays of Christmas, 1905, playing in the sawdust of a Wiggins. Little Freddy 8 years old, started mill near Blankenship, un on, hearing two shots fired in rapid succession, af- | ter which hig young companion, George Jackson, several years older than him- self, sank to the earth. Freddy threw himself thinking it some new sport, but when he realized that George did not again arise, he pulled at the little arms which were even then beginning to stiffen and entreated his playmate to speak to him. The other boy, Nicey Herrin, seeing that something was Wrong, took to his heels, while Freddy sought the dead bov’s mother and called her to ‘“‘come and see what was the matter. with George.’’ down too, First. In the investigation which followed both surviving boys told a straight tale of how they had heard the two fired and the bullets which whizzed out of the woodland, one hitting George, the Herrin boy, afterward frightened, told a different story which accused the S-year-old child of murder and caused his arrest on that charge. The grand jury found an indictment and the case was set for trial at the midwinter term of court. Meanwhil the little boy was released on bail and was removed by his parents to Wooas worth, La. But life in the new prosperous. The mother valid, her chronic disease heing aggra- vated by the trouble which had over- taken her first born on the threshold of his life. The father becur orer and poorer, until on the day wien little Freddy was required to go to Gulfport, or break faith with the bondsmen who had saved him from a prison cell, there was barely enough money Jbe€t to pay for the half ticket for him. So the child came on alone to meet his fate. When he reached Gulfport, he was friendless, a stranger in a strange land—a condition that would appal most persons of maturer years. But he stood bravely before the judge confessing that he had not one penny wherewith to em- ploy counsel for his defense. One young attorney was appointed by the court to defend the boy, but h: pleaded pressure of more remunerative business. Boys’ Stories Agreed at home was “not became an in- wealtisy men of Nashville. Until Judge Baxter accepted the gase for the House of Representatives, the city officials treated the whele affair as a joke and seemed to enjoy the fun. But Judge Baxter does not have taking foolish cases. Whatever Judge Childress decides, the case is sure to go to the Supreme Court now sitting at Jackson. If the decision favers the House of Representatives, it is practically certain the city officials will be sentenced from sixty to ninety days in jail and fined a neat sum. Public feeling has become intense and the Legislature will show no mercy if the matter of assessing the punishment is left to them. On the other hand, if the decision fa- vors the city officials, Speaker Cunning- ham has already declared that he would make it a personal matter and see what the courts of the State can do, while the Councilmen hint at libed suis, An Admirer of Shakspeare.

The boy was given a home in the family of a Deputy Sheriff until the new date of his trial. When the day for trial came, the little figure so moved the pity of W. H. Maybin, a candidate for Lieutenant Gov- ernor, who with T. H. Barrett had begged the privilege of defendiag the accused lad, that he took the forlorn little one on his knee and it was within the shelter of his attorney’s arms that the childish ears heard, with awe,‘ the arraignment of the court. The little fellow listened with intense interest to the testimony of the only witness against him—a witness whose idea of what occurred was so indefinite that B. P. Harrison, District Attorney, said at the conclusion of his testimony that he “‘would not ask a jury to find verdict of guilty where his every sense of justice forbade.’’ Whereupon the court ordered that a verdict of not guilty be returned. The keynote to the child’s whole na- ture Was struck when, in reply to his attorney’s words informing him that he was free, he exclaimed: “Oh, please send a telegram to my mamma ; it will make her fe@ so much better!

REALLY AID IN RICE CULTUR HOUSTON, Tex., March 23.—Agents of the United States Biclogical Survey are carrying on an investigation in Texas, the Post says, of the relation of birds to agriculture and horticulture. The re- sult or this particular investigation shows beyond a doubt that the gveat majority of birds which frequent the rice fields are really the friends of the grower. ‘While complaints in some are noted, where damage to rice crops Was correctly charged to certain birds, it is clearly shown, and there is abundant evidence to prove tnat these were exceptional cases. In sum- ming up the case the report states tnat “The lIénglish sparrow in considereble flocks constitutes what might be called the only threat against the rice indus- try offered by birds.’ The evidence obtained warrants the conclusion that birds remeve frem the rice fields anormous quantities of shat- tered or wasted rice, which if left to sprout would insure the spread of red rice, and a certain consequent reduc- tion in the value of the annual crop. The white and blue herons are found to be great destroyers of crawfish, which do so much damage by starting leaks in the levees. > ae LARGE OZARK TRACT FOR A SHEEP RANCH.

The fete was held in aid of the Minto Nursing Fund and Cal- cutta hospitals, and was organized by an executive committee over which Lady Minto, the Vicerine. presided. It provided Calcutta people with enter- tainment in the form of a miniature exhibition and a miliary tourna- ment combined. It Was in the management of “Lady Minto’s Lucky 3ag’’ that the scandal occurred. The public was informed that the charity lottery would contain many prizes and that the chances would be about four to one. Over $14,000 wortp of tickets were sold, a majority of t purchasers believing that the prizes would include a piano, also some jew- els donated by Lady Minto. Baby Elephant, More Tickets. On the strength of the reteipt of ad- ditional prizes, including a baby ele- phant. the committee at the last mo- ment reopened the ticket sale and dis- posed of nearly $10,000 worth more. When the time came for the draw to begin an immense crowd had gathered round the ‘“‘Lucky Bag”’’ tent; soldiers, sailors and police had to be requisi- tioned to keep the crowd in order, and a pandemonium ensued. The discom- forts that were endured in the crush might have been forgiven and forgot- ten, but the pubic indignation was final- ly roused by the manner in which the draw was conducted, and the trmpery nature of the majority of the prizes. Every petty tradesman in Calcutta seems to have seized the opportunity of obtaining a cheap advertisement by con- tributing some tawdry article from his Stock-in-trade to sie ‘Lucky Bag.’”’ Thus when a contributor presented 20 tickets and drew 19 blanks and one prize, and was solemnly presented with a roll of colored crinkled paper, a can of somebody's patent food, or a packet of somebody’s cheap cigarettes. he began to feel that he had been hoaxed. Not Permitted “To Draw.” This feeling was intensified by the fact that—contrary to the rules that had been published—they were not al- lowed to draw for themselves, even if they managed to reach one of the bar- rels. ‘In many ecasés ticket holders who were afraid to face the. struggle per- suaaed soldiers or sailors, who were on duty to keep the crowd in ofder, to take their tickets up to the barrel. In such cases officials in charge were heard to ask, “‘Is it for a lady or gentleman?’ tetore handing out tne prizes. As the wemen generally got at least one prize the public naturally drew in- ferences, and the local papers hive pub- lished numbers of letters from ticket holders in which the bona fides of the “Lucky Bag” have been impugned.

How few understad that he is not al- ways the best pitcher, who has the most speed or the widest curves, or Strikes out the most batters? Much morg than this is needed to make a pitcher, and indeed many good pitchers have none of them, while many ex- tremely poor ones have them all. Pitcher Must Be General. The pitcher must be a cool, calculat- ing general, who studies each batter, his position gt the plate, his manner of swinging, Style of bat and then figures out just what kind of a ball he cannot hit effectively. But to do this he must have perfect control, and be able to throw the ball at a certain spot, either high or low, inside or out- side. Speed and curves are not es- sential for this; and often when a itcher is doing this very thing, causing tters to pep up puny flies, or his slow bounders, the onlookers become disquieted or impatient, and say why don't he strike them out, or those fel- lows can't hit a lick, not realizing that they are witnessing a masterful exhi- bition of wn ¢ How .few are ‘con- vineed that good hitting «does not im- ply home runs.

Accord- ing to the American League -rules af- ter a ball goes into the grandstand or bleachers it cat no longer be put in play and only new vat!s are to be used after the old ones have run out. Lord came to bat in the fifth inning of a game at St. Louis, and the first ball pitched he hit into the left field bleachers. When a ball is hit into the bleachers it never comes back. Lord hit five more fouls into the same bleach- ers and an even half dozen over the andstand before he wended his way o the’ bench a retired man.

INFIELD OUTFIELD BY C, A. WILSON, It sounds like reciting a bit of ancient history to connect our own Jimmie Me- Aleer with the basebail game of 18965, but Manager ‘“‘Jimmie’’ was one of the trio of outfielders who handled the greatest number of chances that year, and as there doesn’t seem to be much chance of moss mixing with the ‘old man’s’ whiskers for a few years to come, it is not forbidden to mention the fact in illustration of one of the most remarkable things about baseball in all the various changes it has un- dergone during the past ten or fifteen vears. Glanecing back over the list of official averages in past years and up to the present time it wil be seen that the number of chances handled by the Iin- field and the outfield per game, have remained relatively the same, despite the radical changes in rules, changes in the composition of the ball and changes in the pitcher’s distance and in the delivery of the ball to the bats- man. In other words, the chances have remained relatively the same ever since the rules have been laid down with anything like uniformity. One of the points brought out by a comparison, however, is the fact that the infield work has improved in its thoroughness and fewer chances to get away from the infielders now than there did formerly. This may look like a paradox in view of the fact that the number of chances per game remain about the same. Where the tmprove- ment is emblazoned upon the shield of the inner circle men 1s in the handling of assists, and a thoroughness is shown that demonstrates the ability of the present day infielders to lay close to the grounds allow fewer grownd balls to escape them than formerly. Better team work among the infielders and improved gloves are responsible. Consideration of averages and deduc- tions from them is made hard by the fact that the schedule has been length- ened out, and that allowances must be made for stars of any particular pe- riod. Considering the fact that the ball contained more rubber and consequently ly more ‘‘life’’ years ago and that long- or distance hitting was in vogue, it would seem that more outs should have to the outfield in past years. McAleer of Star Trio, Such has not been the case, however. | Take, for instance, the three outfielders with the greatest number of chances In 1295 and McAleer was one of them. In 1808 the leading trio was Clarke. Me- Aleer and Cooley, and this bunch handled 1,163 chances. Back in 1890 it was Donovan, Burke and Davis, and 1042 chances were. pulled down. In 1900 it was Burkett, Selbach and Van Halt- ren. and they had 1,119 chances to han- die. In 19%, Thomas. Seymour and Magee were the leaders with 1,174 ehances. The latter trio had the ad- vantage of a 154-game schedule over the 140-zame sension of the other years, Going behind the returns. this would tend to prove that the outfleld has im- proved in its thoroughness along with the infield. The old fielders were pretty much content to remain in about one spot in the outfield, and as a rasu! they allowed a good many of*the drive that the up-to-date outfield would cop, get away from them. Nowadays the hatter is studied more. Hemphill and Stone of the Browns are perhaps as good students of the sclence of the outfield as any nearby examples that might be cited. Always shifting fram one position to another with the chang- ing of the men at bat, Stone and Hem hill! show their close attention to the direction of the hits. gone

REVISE RULES, SAYS SULLIVAN] M. A. C. Boxing Instructor - Declares Whims of Fighters Govern Present Day Bouts. WEIGHT LIMITS MIXED

Oldest Form of Athletics in the World Is Most Loosely Governed. BY MYLES J. BURKE. According to Tommy Sullivan, boxing instructor at the M. A. C., the sport of boxing, which is claimed by historians to have been invented by Thesus, a son of an Athenian King, who lived 2000 years ago, and of which fairly authenti- cated records have been kept for the past 200 years, stands out today as the most loosely-governed form of athletics. No hard and fast set of rules has ever been accepted for its conduct, and the modern classification of pugilists into weights repreesnting certain divisions is so elastic that for many years nearly all the various titles have been held under protest that their winners captured them while above weight. Weights at which championships would be fought have been set subject to the whims and caprices of the fighters engaged, or to the greater influence that one side might bring to bear at the time of drawing up articles. The same situation exists with regard to the rules under which championship battles are being decided. There are two primary sets of rules, those of the London prize ring, which are still ob- served to a certain extent, and the re- visions laid down by the Marquis of Queensberry, under which the present- day contests are supposed to be gov- erned. These revisions constitute in themselves practically a complete set of regulations. The facetious saying, that ecemtee AL At eC te —- —- i temas ————. SS an cael in the game. It is the batter who does not wake up to the situation unfil the ball is almost ready to “sping” into the catcher’s mitt that causes all the trouble in the right field. For that rea- son the right field hitter is never as strong as the man who hits either to center or left field. Occasionally the right field hitter is a good slugger, but it does not often happen. First Baseman Improves. On the other hand, although the older class of fielders were not as close stu- dents of the batters, more balls were driven to the outfield and they had more chances, hence they held their own when it came to figuring up their per centage against that of the old-class infielders The infielders now do not play as far back. as a rule, as the Qid-timers. By lacing themselves for the batters they head off a great many of the chances that formerly went to the outer garden and fewer are getting through the infield r an 10 years ago. ger ‘the first baseman’'s territory is shown the greatest improvement in itn- field work. And here, too, is shown the greatest change from the old style to the new. In 1890 and 18% Reilly and Beckley, the leaders in the number of chances In those two years, each had 1463 chances. In 1900 Beckley was once more the leader, out his chances had jumped to 1511. In 19% Tenney was to the fore and he ran up a total of 1740, part of this, of course, being due to the large number of games played, though this is not enough to entirely explain the increase. No small share of the increases of chances at first base is due to the greater amount of territory covered by thé first sackers. There has been 4 consistent | increase in the number of assists by | first basemen in recent years and as the} ‘“nside play’ becomes more developed and bunts grow more numerous down the Initial line, the number of assiats will keep Increasing. Changes in the other positions have only been such as can be explained by the difference In the personality of the players during the atretch of baseball history from the time the game first became prominent esent day. cs wuld seem to be the deductions from the comparisons is that the out- field has improved faster in recent years than the infield and this ts prob- ably true. Had the older outflelders cov- ered the ground as thoroughly as the present ones the per centage of chances would probably be in thelr favor, —— to the greater amount of long hitting done when they worked, iaietS : ndoubtedly Infield work U rfection than outfield

‘‘Rules are made to be broken,” fs, how- ever, far from being in the nature of a joke when applied to the Quee regulations, It is safe to say that not one bout in twenty in this country or abroad is run strictly in accordance with these rules, and no fighter too unimportant not to be able to com a revision when he signs articles for a match, whether for a championship or otherwise. It is in the matter of weight classifica- tion, however, that the ri has been at a standstill ever since pugilists were di- vided into classes. There has been @ vague idea that certain weights repre- sent the limit at which championship titles can be won, but they have been observance. The generally accepted list is as follows: Bantam, under a) age feather, 122; light, 133; welter, 142; mid- dle, 158; light-heavy, 1%, and heavy- weight, over 175 pounds. Weight Limit Always Varies. Time and again it has been agitated that this list of limits, or something very similar, be arbitrarily adopted b clubs conducting prize fights in all parts of the world, or that an interna- tional conference be held at which a set of weight limits can be fixed for straight observance, to afford a clean- ion in each class. The weights are of less importance than the principle in- volved, for under the present system o fighting for a title at any weight that suits the holder the Hmit oscillates to extraordinary degrees. ‘Took at me,” said Jack MoAuliffe, last summer, “I look something Ike & mountain, don’t I? You'd thi é weighed about 200 pounds, wouldn't you? Well I do But no one ever whipped me at the lightweight limi of 133 pounds. Now, why can’t I still claim to be the Nghtweight champion? Others are claiming titles these days after they grow pounds above the lim- it of their classes,” It may be questioned whether Mc- Auliffe always defended his title at 133 ounds, but it is gefterally t e won it at the recog would, of course, be an absurd ft for McAuliffe to assert that. he e a factor in but with a cléarly defined and nized limit, it would be gee sible for some of the 135 to men who are now masque ng lightweights to entertain any preten- sions to the championship. A case in point just now its the pro- posed bout between Mellody as for the welterweight title. Thomas

144. But if 145, why not 148, at wi ’: is asserted various welter champk nave defended their titles. And it Thomas can compel Mellody te meet him for the title at 145, cannot another aspirant call for 148, and the next man raise the limit to 150? There is really no limit, once the figures are disregarded, and it would not be illogical for two so-called welters to battle at a pound or two below the ’ middleweight limit. Fight Shy of Welterweighta. It is said that an arbitrary rule fix- ing each limit would work mJjustice to the fighters. For instance, Ga friends would howl were he com to renounce the lightweight tile should he prove to be unable do 133. pounds. Yet, strictly speaking, Gans at 134 would be no longer with- in the lightweight class. As a matter of fact, most of the fighters weaken them#elves by ee down to their so-called limit. Would they not do better to take on enough weight to be strong and advance to the next class? Gans, it is sald, can do his bert at about 137 pounds, which is gettin pretty close to the generaily accept welterweight limit. There seems to bs a disinelination on ths part of lightweitghts to advance into the wel-

elasticity in the limit that appears to pertain especially to the weilerweight class. Suppose Gans, Britt and a tew more of the crack heavy tightweights were to advance into the welter- we'ght, it. would surely tak3 On as great importance as is uo¥v accorded tc the lighter class.

Bpeaking of German ball players in the National League, while it is acknowl- edged that representatives of that phleg- matic race predominate over players of Other nationalities, not excepting the Irish, yet here in German St. Louis, the Cardinals can only count a quartet of players who trace their family tree back to “der Faderland.’’ And one of these, Arthur Hoelsketter, doesn't ex- actly count because he comes from a house Irish on one side and German on the other.

When John McGraw asked his New York players last summer with just in- dignation whether they intended to al- low 4@ téam of “Dutchmen” beat them for the National League flag, the Irish Players of the two big organizations were awakened to the racial changes Which the personnel of the great gaime has unger one In recent years. The Teutons are moving into the game silently and steadily and with bulldog bong they are making good and olding down the best positions. It Wasn't go very long ago that the names of the Germans in the big leagues could be retained in the memory. Today the Germans are inctéasing in number in baseball and lots of the new blood bears the Teuton strain. In former years the idea prevailed that Germans were too lethargic to make @uccessful ball players. This idea was alified by the admission that Germans of the heavy, beefy kind would make good mechanical catchers, but the ablest critics insisted that Germans would not Go for the faster sitions in the in- field. That it would take them too long to think when lightning plays were the order of the moment.

Like the National, the American League is now becoming a well settled German community, and the thrifty Teutons are coming in thicker every season. St. Louis can claim but two Germans, a less number than in any other club of the league, and while this may seem surprising it is accounted for by the fact that the majority of the St. Louis German boys who have developed into ball players have sought positions elsewhere. If the St. Louis Browns were to be made up of native St. Louisans, it is doubly guaranteed that none of the other clubs in the league would be able to hand them anything when it came to showing an unpronounceable roster. artzell, the hard- working, but un- lucky third baseman, who is a German, and Koehler, who would be a prize if he could hit better, is also a Teuton.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—mArcn 24, 1907 Pa mts IANS. WARKED AGAINST GRAFTERS MUSKOGEE, I. T., March 23.—A cir- cular letter bearing the signature of Indian Commissioner Francis E. Leupp, has been received by Indian Agent Kelsey, its purpose being the protection of the full blood Indian from land men and “grafters.” The letter is being printed in English and every language of the five civilized tribes, and 25,000 copies will be sent to the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee Indians. It is the first of its kind the Government has ever sent out. Th@ rather unusual letter, signed by the Indian Commissioner, as a ‘‘friend’’ of the Indian follows: “You are in great danger of losing S the land which you have chosen for a home, unless you carefully follow the instruction which I am giving you. A great many men, better educated than you, are preparing to take ad- Vantage of the law and to steal away from you every acre on which they can lay their hands. “From this time forward, per of any sort whatéver, | rst consulting the nearest Govern- ment representative with whom you are acquainted and in whom you have confidence.

COURT SCOR - A President Flays Military Tri- bunal That Exonerated Gen. Wood's Critic. IT WAS “LESE MAJESTE” Fighting Cavalryman Dared to Say Things About Roose- velt’s Pet. FIRST COURT CONVICTED Now the President Declares, Second Court Should Have , Done Likewise. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) WASHINGTON, March 23.—President Roosevelt last night announced his dis- approval of the findings of acquittal in the case of Capt. Lewis M. Koehler, Fourth Cavalry, U. §. A., cavalry com- mander at Jolo, Philippine Islands. Capt. Koehler wag charged with using language in Am appeal from the action of Gen. Wood, ~ who reprimanded Capt. Koehler for making charges against Major Scott, command- ing officer at the Jolo military post and civil governor of Jolo, and was charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman in making unfounded and malicious statements regarding his commading officer, and with insubordl- nation. The first disrespectful courtmartial sentenced him to be reprimanded and the second courtmartial on which today’s action was based, acquitted him. The President's order follows: “THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, March 22, 1907. “The proceedings, findings and acquit- tal in the case of Capt. Lewis M. Koeh- ler, Fourth Cavalry, United States army, are disapproved. ) cur in all that the Secretary of War says of Capt. Koehler and of Gen. Wood and of the poor showing made by the court Which last passed on the case. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” Secretary Taft in his letter says: “Capt. Koehler is an officer with an excellent record for courageous serv- ice in the field and for attention to duty generally. He distinguised him- self at the battle of Mount Dajo. Capt. Koehler made himself very annoying to Maj. Scott by captious insistence that Maj. Scott should be in his office at certain times and should discharge his duties as military post commander With the same degree of promptness that he would have done had he not the additional duties of civil Govern- or. Thg friction became so great that Capt. oKehler filed charges against Maj. Scott.” Maj. Scott later filed charges against Capt. Koehler. A court-martial found Capt. Koehler guilty of captious and unnecessary charges against his commanding officer. In reprimanding Koehler under sentence of the courtmartial, Gen. Wood de- clared that Capt. Koehler’s concep- tions of the standard of conduct and uprightness as they exist in the army “were distorted to a degree not found in the just and fairminded; and that he should cultivate those habits of soldierly subordination which the evi- dence in the case showed him to lack.” Appealed to Taft. Capt. Koehler appealed to the 9y°- retary of War, alleging he was prac- tically denied counsel; that the de- partment commander was the accuser or prosecutor and that the court erred in overruling the plea in bar of trial based on that fact; that fhe repri- mand was harsh and excessive and that an application for a court of in- quiry on the charges made again to Maj. Scott were denied and character- izing tne department commander's acts as unfair, unjust and illegal. Referring to the reprimand he said that ‘‘the .severity, even to harshness, of the reprimand, shows prejudice, bias, unfairness and a preconceived conviction that I was guilty as original- ly charged. I was harassed and handi- capped at the trial by the feeling that I was helpless and at the mercy of a superior who would make use of every unfair advantage to”harm me and to protect his own personal friend, Maj. Scott. -Gen. Wood called the attention’ of the War Department to the appeal and submitted the question of disciplinary proceedings. A courtmartial was then es which acquitted Capt. Koeh- er. Secretary Taft’s letter continues: “IT have no hesitation in saying after a full consideration of the matter that the finding of the first courtmartial that Capt. Koehler was guilty of filing cap- tious and unnecessary charges against his commanding officer was fully sus- tained. His statement in his appeal that he was practically denied counsel can- not be supported. He might have had counsel had he been willing to take any, but two persons who were other- wise engaged on public business. The charge that the department comman- der was the accuser or prosecutor in the first trial was unfounded and found- ed solely on the ground that he directed a courtmartial on the charge of Major Scott after an inspector had reported that the char@ of Capt. Koehler against Maj. Scott were unfounded. “Considering the evidence of the first court-martial, I think the language of the reprimand was sufficiently within the finding on the evidence. The grant- ing. of the application for a court of in- quiry was within the legitimate discre- tion of the commanding officer, and as the matter could be much more shortly disposed of by the court-martial rather than by a court of inquiry, the action of the commnading general could not be made the basis of a claim that he was malicious or unfair in his ruling. Wood Whitewashed. “I have gone over these matters care- fully, for. they constitute the whole foundation for the charge made by Capt. | Koehler that Gen: Wood was unfair and unjust and would resort to any means to harm Capt. Koehler and protect Maj. Scott. No evidence, ather than as stated above in substance, was sub- mitted by the accused in support of the aspersions contained in his appeal ex- cept the fact that Maj. Scott and Gen. Wood had previous friendly associations, in that Maj. Scott had been unon Gen. Wood's staff and that Gen. Wood had recommended him for the position of Brigadier-General. The mere fact that a commanding officer is a friend of a gayi pe witness does not prove that is action ordering a court-murtial or its findings was prejudiced or malicious, It was in evidence that Gen. Wood had only the slightest ac- quaintance with Capt. Koehler and no oceasion for personal preferring im. “After much consideration, I am con- vinced that this finding of the court in- volves tive in “ne con- O. si é ee a : eas aes "betes es chy Bs i = . | I entirely con-- feeling against4 ings you necessarily affirm or approve the statement. derogatory to Gen. contained in the appeals, do 80 approve those statements, then it would become your duty, as command- er-in-chief, to order Gen.

The woodenware company needed to heat the zinc with which galvanized tubs and pails are coated. gas com- pany gave a figure that was considered exorbitant and refused to make any con- cessions. Presto! Another plant was added to the Crunden-Martin eompany’s activi- ties.

~ INT and lemon and lime. Fresh mint has been on the market only about three weeks, and it is doing its best to make the patrons of the fountains happy. One of the most popu- lar drinks of the spring is mint lemon- ade or mint limeade. Either a lemon or e lime is squeezed, mint syrup adds its aroma and its beautiful green color, carbonated water fills the glass and a Maraschino cherry gives a contrast. Maraschino cherries can only be served, however, at fountains that have a spe- cial license. Mint in Big Demand. The man who makes drinks at a pop- ular drug store fountain started yester- day afternoon to _ tell me what he thought of mint. “I’m doing all I can to popularize mint,”’ he said, and then added a few words about being unable to have the mint syrup made just as he wanted it. His second sentence was not completed before 10 persons filled the space before the fountain. His talk on mint was sus- pended indefinitely. A Broadway fountain is responsible for lime punch and a Locust street one for lime rickey. Mint syrup or mint sprigs are used in both. There are other in- gredients in the lime punch, but that’s the inventer’s secret. His fountain has an unlimited license, and if his custom- ers demand a drink stronger than that usually served at soda fountains, he can accommodate them. A mint lemonade usually costs 10 cents at fountains that are favored by fash- ion and what is termed the best trade. Plain limeades can be bought for 5 cents at some places, Sundas Are Popular. Sundas are well liked by those who prefer to eat instead of drink coolness. One of the newest sundas in St. Louls is the Melba, invented by a woman who has graduated in the art of public pleasing. A concoction with Melba as part of its name and syrup covered pears as art of its composition was popular in Paris and the Fast in the late winter. It was tried in St. Louis, but made few friends. “We'll make it into said a sunda,”’

=> With Mint and Lemon and Lime and Sometimes Something Strong- er Delicious Beverages Are Made In Many Tempting Guises At The Hundreds of Soda Fountains About Town. BY ROSE MARION. These are the powers that rule the soda fountain—the metropolitan town pump—which is in the throes of the most intense spring opening of its history. Everybody’s thirsty with the thirst of the spring which demands that drinks shall have pungency and coolness, Iced carbonated water gives the lat- ter and either lemon and mint or lime and mint provide the sparkle which enanges one’s taste from a heavy thickness to a clean thinness. The thirst of the spring of 1907 is abnormal, hence mint is in demand, lemons have in- creased in price and limes can hardly be had.

a this woman, who makes up styles in sweets as other women do in hats and gowns. The preserved pear was used as a basis for the sunda, the ice cream and syrup followed and St. Louis ap- proved. Asa spring creation the Melba sunda has few rivals. At a Broadway fountain the latest is “frozen nectar.’’ It is like the popular ‘half and half’ of last s@ason minus the ice cream, Its present makeup is a plain ice and a mixture of crushed fruits. Although they are not what should satisfy the craving of a spring appetite, either in color or composition, chocolate nut sundas have friends whose con- stancy never wavers. Here’s an exam- ple: Foundation, ice cream; first trim- ming, chocolate syrup; second layer, nuts; next trimming, whipped cream; decoration, Maraschino cherry. This is called the Josephine. Beverage Not Strong Enough. At the fountains with limited ifcenses claret punch and sherry sherbet and the like mean that in one gallon of the claret or sherry syrup there are only six ounces of real liquor. When the Democratic convention was in town

World’s Fair year several delegates went to one of these fountains and ‘asked: ‘“Can’t you give us something | straight?” The list of drinks was! handed to them. They chose sherry | flip. They watched it made, paid the price asked, but left the glasses un- touched, untasted and unhandled. One dozen kinds of lemonade, ranging in price from 25 cents a glass to 10 cents, are made at the Olive street fountain where the Melba was invent- | ed. The sunda has as many varieties. | The unlimited license fountain clerks Say that in warm weather most of the. persons who want cool drinks want liquor in them. Those at the limited li- cense fountain say that complaint is often made because the syrup used is no stronger. The proportion of men and women | visitors to soda fountains is about the’ same. The men usually favor the clear . drinks, the women like.the mixtures | that have ice cream somewhere. Two names which may be safely | placed in the soda fountain hall of fame | are those of Frank Mulligan and Carl | Kennedy. The former is dead, the lat-.| ter has gone to Pittsburg. They mixed |, flavors and combined aromas and stirred in cold water and gave fancy names to | — that were often copied in the ast. 06 YEARS AS THE NORMAL LIFE SPAN French Professor Says Woman Who Has Just Died Fair Example. PARIS, March 23.—We all should py rights live to at least 106, according to Prof. Metchnikoff, as did Mme. Robi-

has just died. The professor, who is assistant director of the Pasteur Insti- tute, had been for some years a friend and professionally an admirer of the old lady. She was, in his opinion, a living example of his theories. In her the beneficial microbes had waged an amazingly successful and per- sistent war on the bad bacilli, and hers was a really and truly natural death, as death ought to be always. In par- ticular, her arteries were as fresh ana healthy as in youth, and she showed not a trace of arteriosclerosis, which, according to the theory of the iast few years—or the last few months—kills oft most of us nowadays. Mme. Robineau reached what ought to be, according to the professor, the nor-

mal span ef life, and death came pleas- antly. Indeed, she had in a marked | way what he calls the “instinct of dis- solution” which grows upon the mind after one has lived to a hundred or so. Towards the last she looked forward to death as @ pleasurable end, though she was not at all out of temper with life. She had lost the use of her legs from a fall five years ago, but her brain re- mained perfectly clear. She had been ili only twice in her long life, and then only from slight complaints. Until a few months before her death She spent her days knitting woollen clothes for poor children.

GLUE MIND TO DUTY AND THEN GROW THIN. Medical Student Warns Girls of Work Results. CHICAGO, “March 23.—Have you seen the “concentrated countenance?” Your neighbor suspended from the ad- joining strap in the street car may not owe his sunken cheeks, burning eyes and birdlike nose to dyspepsia. Con- centration on his daily labors may be to blame for his lack of round, ruddy cheeks. The discovery of the ‘‘concentrated countenance” was an after-effect of an article on “Concentration,’’ by General Manager A. 8. Hibbard of the Chicago Telephone Co. in the Operating Bulle- tin. Mr. Hibbard’s article didn't deal in the loss of plump profiles—at least not on the face of it. The eontribution was mostly advice to the telephone girls on the ges of applying their minds to their WoOrk, When a smart student at a Chicago medical college read the article—sent to him by a telephone-girl friend—he im- mediately evolved a unique theory. He made investigation, following which he came to the conclusion that centered mental effort is bound to result in @ thin face—at least if continued for two or three generations. Now he foresees a race of angular-faced males in Chi- cago if our business men continue at thelr present rate of concentration. This apples to many lines of effort, from grim judges to speeding auto drivers. The young man doesn't mention the danger of feminine thin-facedness. Probably he doesn’t dare.

This the summit of achieve- ment, the acme of enterprise. But, always in the forefront, herewith, written exclusively for the Post-Dispatch, may be found all that did not occur at the interview between President Roosevelt and Edward H. Harriman, the Emperor of High Finance; every word’ that “was not said at a meeting that ‘has not been held, together with sundry authoritative denials by Secretary Loeb; in fact, a phon- -ographic and photographic de- scription of this momentous but unheld conference between these great men. + ame Be SAMUEL G. BLYTHE. A Staff" Correspondent of thé New York World and Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 23.. O EVENT has stirred the nation more than the historic inter- . view between Edward H. Har- riman, the great railroad magnate, and President Roosevelt. The mere detail that the interview has not yet occurred ‘simply excited the people the more. All were curious to know what might have _ bappened, and it is my great good for- ‘tune to be in a position to tell the fntimate inside story of this epochal conversation between these men, who are now foremost in the minds of the people. | The mere recorder of events might well pass over this interview with a denial. The true historian "never lets the simple fact that a thing ever did happen interfere with his recital of the exact description of it all, for events are but momentary, while history endures forever.

Down on a Man, and That Man, E. H. Harriman, Railroad think the poor young man of today has aa great a chance of success as he had when you started in life?’ “Greater!. Much greater!” swered Mr. Harriman, putting if pos- sible even more, emphasis into his voice. “Bigger field! Wider scope! Is that all?” edging away from the railing. He knew very age that it wasn’t all, that it wasn’t evén the beginning, inter- esting as the assertion was coming from him who had been a very poor boy, indeed. For this man who con- trols $150,000,000 is the son of an Epis- copalian clergyman who for years pre- sided over a little church tn West Ho- boken at an annual salary of $200 and for other years had no charge at aill.} Moreover, this early poverty was of the most bitter kind, for it was that of well- bred people who have to keep up ap- pearances and who cannot devote their meager incomes to their bodily needs, but whose daily problem is that of facing starvation in a faultless coat. Never Talks of Poverty. Mr. Harriman never talks of his early privations even to his intimate friends. But there ts scarcely a boy in New York today with a narrower outlook, with less chance ifn life than was pre- sented to this master of men and mil- lions. It was encouraging to learn that Mr. Harriman thought the poor boy’s chance today equal to that which he found when he entered Wall street as a clerk in the early '60s. But I wanted him to expound it. I wanted him to explain why in his opinion what many people consider the blight of monopoly did not interfere with the chance of the poor young man today. But it is no easy matter to look a trust In the eye even when the eye is twinkling as Mr. Harriman’s was, and ask if it is not a public menace. How- ever, “Don't you think the trusts Inter- fere with the poor young man's chances?” I asked. “Not at all,”’ said Mr. Harriman, even more decidedly. “Not in the least. Any- thing else?’’ This time he backed two feet away from the railing. “Yes: is there?’"—I asked this with inward apologies to Hetty Green, Ella Rawies Reader and Caesle Chadwick— “Can there be such a thing as a wom- an financier?’ “Plenty of ‘em! You're one of ‘em!’ snapped the greatest of railroad men. Small Chance for Women. He smiled slightly as he sald this and his approval of the woman fnancier from the millionaires to the $8 a week typewriter earning her own living was conveyed tacitly in the smile. “What about Hetty Green?’ The Harriman smile faded. “Nothing about her!" snapped the Harriman jaw. And then, encouraged by his faver/ able view of woman's outlook in oe I asked the Fatal Queation: . “Could a woman be a raliroad presi- dent?’ I demanded.

It is estimated that with the start already attained in this matter there will shortly appear mills whose sole business will be the making of a white flour from the cotton seed. In view of the fact that the cotton seed products industry is employing at the mills an army of 8000 men and something like $25,000,000 in wages !s paid annually at this time, it is be- lieved that few other industries of the South will command a greater capital and demand a greater body of skilled workmen than the oil mills when the oil is all for food and the meal goes and flour.

HINTS FOR THE PUPILS

Happily Married, She Wishes Others Shall Share Her -_ Evident Joy.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, March 23.— Prince Albert,, the Belgian heir-pre- Sumptive,. and Princess Elizabeth, his consort, seem intent on giving the world an exampie of royal conjugai felicity in striking tonfrast with king Leopold's domestic infelicity. The Prince and Princess are in full sympathy with euch Other, a tact sutlicientiy rare among royal couples to be worthy of mention. ‘They decided some time ago, in token of their married happiness, to make a charitable gift to the city of Brussels in the shape of a free hospital for poor sulferers from tuberculosis. Now the Prince and Princess have decided to fol- low this up by establishing a fresh air fund for indigent consumptives through- Out the kingdom. Princess HKlizabeth, who has decided literary ability, has written a play, en- titled “Romanda,” the first performance of which has been given in Brussels for the benefit of her tres air fund. The performance was made a leading social event in Brussels. ‘The whole play gives one a most weird impression and shows great imaginative powers. Additional interest was given to the first performance of ‘“‘Romunda” by the fact that the actors and actresses were ail amateurs belonging to the Belgian aristocraty. The pertormance netted $10,000 fer the fresh air fund. Princess Elizabeth lately founded here a training school for cooks on the lines of a university, with a three-years’ col- lege course and an honor class. Liberal rizes are offered by Princess Elizabeth © students who invent new dishes. The pupils are of all sorts and condi- tions. In one class may be seen little giris, daughters of workingmen, learning to be clever housewives and competent cooks of a laboring man’s dietary. In another classroom are ladies of high de- Bree learing to lard quails, make ice puddings, fold napkins in dainty fashion and write menus in approved French. Princess Elizabeth is an expert cook herself and a frequent visitor to her cooking school. She always throws out some hint to the would-be cooks on her visits, and the members of the Cordon Bleu Corps say they find these hints invaluable. QUEEN MINA’S HUSBAND MAKES HIMSELF LIKED. THE HAGUE, March 23.—Prince Henry of Holland, Queen Wilhelmina's consort, who took an active part in the rescue work from the terrible wreck of the Steamer Berlin, is noted for his ex- treme simplicity of manner and dislike of court etiquette. At the time of his marriage, there were indications that he would not be popular with the people— they were so devoted to their young Queen that they regarded him with something akin to jealousy; but time has changed that, and now the Prineoe ig as much a favorite as the Sovereign herself. As Duke Henry of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, His Royal Highness was sel- dom in the public eve; but he is a mem- ber of one of the oldest royal houses in the world, and is proud of the fact that he is a Wend, or, in other words. of lavonic origin. The Prince is very fond of traveling, and has been a great deal in India. An accomplished musician, !{t is said that he has induced Queen Wilhelmina to interest herself in music, to which she was hitherto more or less impar- tial. He 's also a fine horseman and is devoted to all kinds of sport. ALFONS0’S CRADLE FOR HIS EXPECTED HEIR.

PARIS, March 23.—There is no ne tion in Paris now quite so “burning” as that of the “cab ladies.’”’ Several wom- en have recently applied for cabby’s I'- censes and they were given a severe examination and then hampered with instructions and uniform requirements antil it was thought none of them would actively take up the life, but Madame Duffaut persisted and finally came out with her cab. A Paris re- porter who was her first fare, writes this story of his experience: “Madame Duffaut, I presume?” “It is I, at your service.’’ The lady sat in the steady drizzle on ner box. The rain trickled down her shiny Diack) ‘boiled leather’ boating hat and her long blue serge cloak. The fairly plump bay cob in the shafts was gaz- ing despondently down at the _ wet pavement. Madame herself seemed a little sad. The Boulevard Voltaire in a “Scotch mist’’ is not a gay place, and Madame Duffaut, the first cablady, was starting on a new and responsible existence. It was her first day of plying for hire. She was ready to ply and she smiled, a lit- tle wanly though, as I got in. The cob was flicked, and turned round to look at me with one canny eye. “Where should monster be driven to?” ‘Anywhere, while so fair a hand holds the reins.’’ > All Jokes Barred. Madame looked severely, and _ sald, ‘None of your jokes. I am here to earn an honest living. Why should I not earn an honest living?’ The rights of woman—"” A _ hurried apology mol- lified her and we were off. The cob woke up completely this time, recov- ered his animal spirits with a jerk, and broke into a sort of three-cornered jog- trot, which made quite five miles an hour. I was being driven by the first cablady in the world. We went down the boulevard and nobody noticed us. Not a soul was amused or interested. Madame had too successfully concealed her sex beneath her leng blue cloak, which hid a blue cycling suit. Her an- kles might have betrayed her, but they were hidden under a rug. One might as well have been driven by a mere cab- man. But a block in the traffic gave us and the street boy a chance at last. I caught a young eye beneath a cloth cap star- ing at us. Then came the young voice, “Where's the poor baby? Left at home sucking its poor. bottle, I suppose. Shame!’ Madame on the box stirred never a muscle. ‘‘How about depopula- tion?’’ the young and piercing voice add- ed. Madame flicked the cob. who was go- ing to sleep again. I leant back on the cushions. The policeman rut down his wand of authority and we were off again. But the rumor had passed among the crowd, “It is the cochere.” Another stoppage and another street boy. Fare’s Reficcted Glory. He began by saying ‘‘Hooray!” and the Parisian equivalent of “Bully for you."’ Then he stopped, and looked at the red marker flag marked ‘‘Free,’’ now dipped. ‘‘What! aren’t you free any more?” he sighed, and gazed languish- ingly. “And who's the happy man?’ A pause, and he turned a terrible eye on me. “What, is it that? Well, now, since she had the choice, she might have done better.”’ His pal by his side, after a careful scrutiny, did not altogether agree. “Aft- er all, he is just about the average when you come to look at him. Of course, his topper has been in the rain, but he did brush his coat this morning. He doesn't look much at a distance, I grant, but just step nearer ard study him.” Thank goodness the policeman moved us on. Madame turned round and said, “‘Ah, Monsieur, we must have indulgence. We are above these things, you and I."’ We had to slow down at a corner, and two workmen in velveteen stood there. ‘‘Look at him,” said one. “Ought to be ashamed of himself, lolling back there, while a frail, delicate woman drags his lordship about.’ I was just remarking that it seemed to be the cob who pulled, and madame could hardly be called frail, but the sec- ond workman tnterrupted, ‘‘He ashamed? No. She ought to be ashamed of her- self, sitting brazen-like, up on that box, when she ought to be at home. Where's now, I should like to know? Darning of his socks, poor thing. I’ve not a shadow of doubt. A woman's & woman, and ought to stick to being a woman.” “Why shouldn’t women work?” sald his companion. “Because it isn’t fair, and they never play the game. Now, look at the syndicate’s,”—— and we left them arguing about trades unionism. Mere Man Rival Excited. A bloated cabby, with a fiery face, on passing us, suddenly seemed to explode with fury. “Go to bed, you ~—. Go to bed!"" he roared. “Why doesn't your husband use the poker?’ Madame was terse. “‘Stow your lip,”” she remarked in best Parisian. “If [ Zell] low enough to marry you I'd teach you.” “‘Hooray!’’ came from an interested crowd. ‘‘Long live the little mother!’ And the cabby went off, still exploding. Madame must by now be thirsty? But she was of the no-spirits-be- tween-meals faith. A drop of white wine she did accept, and then a sec- ond. So far did she like this life? 8o, SO, It seemed a hard one, especially in the rain, but ghe had endurance, As for the cabbies and street-boys, she did not care for them. She could hold her own, a I had perhaps per- celved. Anyhow. on the whole, the crowd was sympathetic. Round the wine-shop there was crowd by this time, and {ft did not be- lie her. ‘Live the Little Mother!” said a boy. An elderly gentleman with courtly manners and a rusty coat, de-

KAISER’S PREMIER OPPOSES ANY LAWS FOR WORKINGMEN

Liberal Minister Posadowsky Likely to Lose Official Head to Reactionaries, BERLIN, March ‘The political at- mosphere is intensely charged with electricity, and the people who watch public affairs are expecting a thunder- storm soon. There are rumors from sources usually to be credited that the imperial ministry is all at sixes and sevens, and that the same conditions exist in the Prussian Ministry. The members are fighting behind the scenes each for his own hand. The true inwardness of the quarrel is the impossibility of the Chancellor, Prince von Buelow, finding any basis of agreement with Count Posadowsky on social legislation, with which the new Reichstag has set itself to deal. Count Posadowsky, the Minister of the Interior, is the only Liberal man in either of the two ministries. He insists upon extending the laws relating to in- surance for workingmen, and demands several other enactments of a popular character. At all his progressive ideas Prince von Buelow looks askance. The Chan- cellor, too, is believed to have the sup- port of the Kaiser in his determination not to attempt to do much or little along sociological lines of legislation. Count Pesadowsky argues that the enly way to uproot socialism is to adopt measures te better the admittedly bad condition of the working classes. Prince von Buelow retorts that if Socialism is to be eradicated as dan- gerous to the largest and best interests of the commonwealth, it can only be done through measures of force-vigor- ously applied. Progressive Posadowsky side the ministers of finance, railways and justice—inen whose official duties bring them in colse touch with popular demands and aspirations. On the side of Von Buelew, so far as this issue is concerned, are all the other members of beth cabineta Since Von Buelow is securely seated in the saddle, supported by the unfail- ing cenfidence and personal intluence of the Emperor, one may expect any day news or Posadowsky’s fall. Then the Prussian Cabinet and the Imperial Min- istry will stand forth the most retre- grade, even reactionary, te be found in hourope. TEN BOXES OF MATCHES MADE INTO A VIOLIN. BERLIN, March 23.—An_ upholsterer named Karl Wagner, living at Munich, has constructed a violin entirely out of wooden matches. The instrument has a good tone, and the back is ornamented by a picture of the tower of the famous Frauenkirche. Wagner first made a model of the parts in cardboard, and then glued over them the matches, which are perfectly joined. The cardboard was then re- moved, and the parts put together. Ten boxes of matches supplied the necessary wood, and Wagner was en- gaged for a year on the work. He has presented the vidlin to his son, who is a promising musician. - “9 oO. has on his

WOMEN ARE ADDED TO POLICE FORCE OF MEN AND DOGS Dutch Chief Will Have Detec- tives First, Then Add Uni- formed Detail. GHENT, Belgium, March 23.—Women police will further protect this city, which now has policemen and police dogs. Prefect of Police Von Mesemael, the first te establish a corps of canine thief-takers, will add wemen to the force he commands. Von Mesemael, who is recognized throughout the kingdom as a good po- lice officer. declares confidentially that Ghent will be the best policed town in liurepe when women, men and dogs pa- trol her streets. “The combination of masculine strength, feminine cunning—I should Say strategy—and canine faithfulness must make certain the most thorough and most effective police service,”’ said the Prefect today. “Women are invading every profes- sion and industry nowadays, and cer- tainly women are qualified to be pelice. Remember, there are two kinds ef po- lice work—repressive and preventive. Women have certain qualities which fit them admirably fer preventive police work. They cannot quell a riot, per- haps, unless the men and dogs help, but, with women in the police service, there will be no rioting. ‘A woman has subtlety, curiosity, del- icacy and stubbornness. The proverbial reproach to her that she talks too much is prejudice—only prejudice. She is lo- quacious only when she Is tdle, inactive, but when she is on somebody’s track, pursuing some purpose, running some- thing down, nothing can induce her to tell her secret purpose. A woman makes an excellent spy, as history proves in- dubitably. “The city will appropriate money soon to enable me to make this experiment in police work. “At first, the women. who will be added to the force, will be detectives; will not wear uniforms. But within a year I hope to see Ghent patroled by a cerps of sturdy, self-contained women, who will wear helmets, long ceats, knickerbeckergs and swords at their sides. They will have one special ad- Vantage over policemen, for the Bel- gian’s native gallantry will permit a woman to end disputes and quell petty brawls, altheugh it mocks, even re- sents, a man’s interference."’ SOCIETY WOMAN OPENS A CANNING FACTORY. LONDON, March 23.—Lady Algernon Gordon-Lennox, sister of Lady War- wick, who has gained much fame as an active Socialist leader, is establish- ing a fruit-canning business at Brough- ton, Oxfordshire. This popular society woman has always evinced a genius for organization, and her new enterprise is certain of success. She is one of the best dressed members of gociety. There is no cleverer woman gardener in Eng- land. She designed the beautiful gar- dens at Broughton Castle. with their hundreds of different kinds of tea roses.

CARTHAGE GLORIES REVIVED IN PLAY BY ARCHEOLOGISTS a se Easter Fete in Pictured History Will Be True to An- cient Life. TUNIS, March 23.—For the preserva- tion of the magnificent ruins of Car- thage, which vandals are fast laying waste, a magnificent festival, the pro- ceeds of which will pour thousands of dollars into Carthagenian coffers, will be given during Easter week. in this festival all the glories of ancient Car- thage will be revived; the customs and the peoples of those early days, when Rome ruled the conquered province and during the changes when its blood- stained history was made by warriors of various nations, will be presented for the first time in scenic reproduction In the old Roman amphitheater a ais tinguished company of actors and ac- tresses, headed by Mme. Delvair, the tragedienne of the Cauldie Francaise, will produce the play, “The Priestess of Tanit,’’ by Mme. Lucy Delarue-Mar- dus, and “The Death of Carthage,”’ by Grand-Mougin, both poets of renown. The costumes have been prepared un- der direction of a company of arche- ologists, and in every detail, to the least ornament, will be exact copies of those worn during the periods represented. Recent excavations have, curiously enough, furnished matter that had lain covered for hundreds of years. All Europe and most of the world be- yond the sea will send delegations to the fete, which will have the incom- parable Gulf of Tunis in the near dis- tance as nature's contribution to the scenic effects. The Tuesday after Eas- ter will be the opening day. It is the intention of the Society of Archeologists, which has the affair in charge, to give a festival each Easter, each to surpass ité predecessor. $400,000 IN ROOM ~ ARRESTED FOR DEBT.

‘Missouri Equalization Board Will Officially Recognize Valuations So Given.

HADLEY HAS TESTIMONY ——— Increase of $50,000,000 Ex- pected on Railroad Prop- erty This Year.

WILL INCLUDE WATER

Board Members Favor Assess- ing Taxes on One-Third Bonds and Stock.

From a Staff Correspondent of. the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, March zeal of the railroad companies in Mis- sourl in showing by testimony in the value of their property in order to prove | they were not making more than a fair! return on their investment, is to reap a harvest for the State when these same railroads appear before the State Board of Equalization next month for assess- ment. Attorney-General Hadley heard all the testimony in the freight rate suits, and he is also a member of the State Board of Equalization, which fixes the assess- ments of railroad properties. Testimony by railroad men shows that the right of way and superstructure of railroads, assessed at $9000 and $10,000 er mile by the board, is worth from 40,000 to $50,000. The board intends to assess property at one-third its real value. It is estimated that if this ratio of increase is applied to all the rail- roads in Missouri the assessed valua- tion of railroad property will be in- creased from $106,000,000 to at least $150,- 000,000. Marked Increase Expected. The present Board of Equalization has increased the assessed valuation of such property in the past two years $17,500,- 000, but the members do not deny there is sufficient room for a much greater increase. One member, who will not permit his name to be used because of the appearance of passing judgment on assessments before hearing the argu- ments, is authority for the statement that very marked increases may be ex- pected this year. Statistics of the State Board of Equalization, considered in connection with the reports made by railroads to the Railroad Commissioners, and with statements made by representati{ves of the corporations to the Board of Equal-

ization,, show that the public service corporations of the State are assessed at a much lower rate than Is real es- tate in the citie#? and counties. Members of the present board have been acting in that capacity for two years and are now familiar with the properties considered by them. One disadvantage at which the board is placed, as explained by Attorney- General Hadley. is that no representa- tive of any civic association has ap- peared before the board in the past two years to give the members infor- mation regarding the properties they are to assess. On the other hand, each of the corporations is represented by able lawyers and statisticians, and all the Information the board receives comes from representatives of the in- terests which are to be assessed.

vr. Fv Oklahoma Prisoner Who Ate Jailer’s Wife’s Home-Made Soap in Vain Effort to Win a Pardon as Tuberculosis Victim Gets Most Severe Penalty From Second Jury. GUTHRIE, O. T., March 23. AM COLETRAIN, known through S the Southwest as the ‘‘soft soap prisoner,’ has been convicted of murder in the first degree at Durant, I. T. He was accused of killing — his cousin, Cicero Coletrain, three years ago. Sam Coletrain coveted a farm owned by his cousin. He made overtures to buy the land, but Cicero refused to sell. ; Ill-feeling sprang up between the two men and Sam Coletrain, according to the testimony. lav in wait for his cous- in one nignt and shot him. The body was discovered next morning by a neighbor, Coletrain was tried a year ago, but the jury failed to reach a ver- dict. The unique method employed by the. prisoner soon after this mistrial to bring about his release resulted in his pe- cullar pseudonym, One morning when the jailer brought his breakfast, Coletrain remarked that he feared he was a victim of tubercu- losis. He insisted he would not live to face another jury. The jailer and county officers laughed at Coletrain’s state- ment, which they characterized as an effort to secure official clemency. Even Coletrain’s relatives refused to believe him. His physical condition. appeared robust, but in several weeks the prison- er began to fail noticeably. He refused food and his face became livid. His body became emaciated and his clothing hung loosely on his big frame. Physi- cians were asked to examine him, but their diagnoses were conflicting. They all agreed, however, that if Coletrain a sufferer from consumption, he was the victim of a pecullar disease which would quickly prove fatal. The prisoner's lawyer then began efforts for a pardon. They cited the statements of the doctors and Cole- train’s failing health. Prospects were bright for his release, when a discov- ery was made. The jailer’s wife noticed an astonish- ing decrease in her supply of soft soap, kept in a barrel near the Jail. Her suspicions were aroused and she watched the barrel. One night a friend of Coletrain’s was seen taking a bucket of soap. The next morning Coletrain was caught in the act of eating the stolen soap.

When he saw the jailer at the door of his cell he grinned. He knew the game w and in a few weeks was as healthy as he had been prior to his attack of tuber- culoais. He lived to face a second jury and was convicted. NEGRO EXPECTS TE BE CHOSEN. MAYO Promises Equal Rights White, Black, Red and Yellow Men.

“If the regular physician would trust more in nature and less in drugs his patients would stay well when they get well,” said Dr. Hall in his office yesterday. “The great trouble is that when a doctor writes a prescription he uses too much poison. Now, poison never cures anybody; it kills a great many. “My idea of treating human weaknesses and pain is to restore the human strength, wherever lost. Nature will cure the disease if she has the strength. 1 “IT give the strength, and that ba is why I am so succesful.

Then followed trips to the Adiron-| view of his remarkable case.

When Attorney-General Hadley was defending the maximum freight rate suits, the rallroads endeavored to show that their property was worth great sums of money. This was for the pur- ose of showing that great earnings ad to be made to realize any profit on the investment. According to this testimony, the failroads earned noth- ing in the freight business, but the money came fro the passenger busi- ness. When representatives of these same railroads appeared before the Sen- ate and House committees of the Leg- islature, protesting against the passage of the 2-cent fare bill, the claim was made that the earnings came from the freight business, and that there was no rofit in handling passengers even at cents per mile. When these same men are before the Board of Equalization the value of their property shrinks greatly. An official of the Missouri Pacific testified in the freight fate hearings that the right of way and superstruc- ture of that road, exclusive of fran- chise, terminals and rolling stock, was worth $40,000 per mile. The Missouri Pacific average assessment per mile, in- cluding right of way, superstructure, franchise, terminals and rolling stock, is $13,738 per mile. Increasing the assess- ment of the Missouri Pacific alone -to one-third the value placed on it by tes- timony of its own representatives, would be a raise of approximately $7.000,000. The present assessment of St. Louis street railway properties, Including both the United Railways and the Suburban, is $21,754,935.94. The BS erty assessed at this amount is capitalized and bond- ed at $105,877,000, the assessment being only one-fifth of the value as shown by the capitalization and bonds. The Terminal Railroad Assocfation roperty, including the Terminal, t. Louls Bridge Co., the St. Louls Mer- chants Bridge Terminal Railway Co. and the St. Louls Merchants’ Bridge Co. is assessed at $8,223,146.37. The capitali- zation and bonded debt of these com- panies amounts to $63,311,500, or more than six times the assessed valuation, as placed by the State board. How Official Figures Compare.

OWENSBORO, Ky., March 23.—-Coun- ty Judge Owen has called a local op- tion election for Owensboro and Daviess County, to be held April 20 and special registration for April 10. The fight in Owensboro promises to be one of the most vigorous ever held in the State. There are over forty saloons and wholesale liquor stores in Owensboro, and the liquor men have been actively engaged in organizing their forces for several days. The temperance forces have made arrangements to bring the most noted temperance orators in the -country to Owensboro in the next few weeks. There is a large negro vote in Owensboro, and two negro orators will be sent here for the purpose of address- ing them. It is stated that in 32 contests held in Kentucky the negro vote has decided the election in each case. The temper- ance advocates controlled the negro vote in 31 elections, and were victorious in each. They lost the county where they failed to get the negro vote.

AND CORPORATION Votes That Defeated Public Service Control in Final Assembly Rush. EXCISE BILL FUNERAL

Street Car Fare Bills Met De- feat in House by Close Vote. During the recent session of the Mis- souri Gerferal Assembly the Post-Dis- patch printed from time to time the vote upon the more important bills of- fered. During the rush of business for th last few days of the session it was impossible to give the detailed vote on all bills. The following are some of the bills that were of direct interest to the people of the State, especially the city residents: The Botsford bill, creating the office of State Excise Commissioner, was passed by the House March 9, and was defeated in the Senate March 15. _ Be- sides the provision for an Excise Com- missioner to have supervisory control over the saloons of the State, the bill required that all clubs should be com- pelled to have dramshop licenses. Coun- ties were to be permitted to vote local option. | Under the bill, the Excise Commis- sioner issued licenses in all cities and counties of the State, and had power to revoke licenses in St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Louis County and St. Joseph. He could revoke licenses in other coun- ties by instituting proceedings in the courts. All acts of the Excise Commits- sioner were subject to review by the courts. The bill passed the House by the fol- lowing vote: Aves—Aldrich, Barker, Barry, Biggs ot Schuyler, Botsford, Brandom, Braswell, Butts, Carter, Casey, Chancellor, Chil- ton of Carter, Chilton of Madison, Christy, Conner, Conran, Cook, Cross, Crossley, Dale of Gentry, Deal, Duncan, Embry, Emerson, Farris, Gannaway, Gibson, Glick, Griffith, Groff, Ham, Heathman, Holcomb, Hopper, Hughes, Inglish, Johnson of Charlton, Johnston of Pettis, Kimmet, Kimrey, Kirkpatrick, Kobbe, Letterman, Lewis, Lumpkin, Lyles, McMurry, Miller of Saline, Mor- rison, Muir, Nelson of Cooper, Oliver, Paul, Pemberton, Pumphrey, Polk, Ra- ney, Roseberry, Salts, Sherman, _Sim- mons, Sosey, Spence, Stapel, Stark, Sweazea, Thralls, Traughber, Trimble, Wade of Scott, Whaley, Woods, Atkin- son, 73. : Noes--Banta, Biggs of St. Louis, Bras- field, Brockus, Brooks, Busche, Catlin, Cooper, Dale of Andrew, Ford, Frieze, Goshorn, Graham, Haller, Hanson, Hart, Hill, Huck, Kiefner, Kies, Ma- han, Martin, Meffert, Miller of St. Louis, Nelson of Camden, Norfleet, Ordelheide, Phillips of Dallas, Porth, Raymond, Roach, Sartin, Settle, Sil- ver, Speer, Stemmons, Swiers, Tubbs, Vitt, Wade of Greene, Warner, Web- er, Willard, Wilson, Young, Zepp.—46.

The bill permitting cities to regulate the rates of public service corporations passed the Senate after many attempts to kill it by amendments. There was not a dissenting vote on the final roll call. It was defeated in the House. The bill gave cities the right to fix and regulate the rates to be charged by telephone, telegraph, gas, street railway, electric light, water, refriger- ating, heating, subway or conduit, tun- nel, viaduct companies, and all other public service corporations.

Schnabel, who has just awakened as a deaf mute from 4 50-days’ sleep. Eminent medical men who have seen Schnabel do not hesi- tate to freely confess that they have not even a theory as to what has caused this strange result. Whether it was an affection of the brain or some pecullar freak of the nervous system, they cannot gay, and neither can the experienced men of the University of Denver.or the brightest students, The latter had an opportunity to study the case at the regular clinic hour of the hospital, and they used up all of their medical theories and asked their instructor for more, but found none that might possibly fit the case. The hospital physicians ieft nothing to be desired in the way of explanations of the cage, and every move and action of Schnabel was told to them clearly from the time he entered the institution until he awoke from the coma, yet this did not add any light to the mystery. The absence of pain of any kind, the lack of muscle and a te and fiber mo- tion during his period in the hospital was noted, as well as the efforts he made to speak as soon ag he awoke, yet these facts could not evolve a cor- rect solution. The doctors say that the remarkable feature of it all is the man’s norma! intellectual condition. The questions propounded to him on the pad were an- swered rapidly and accurately just as soon as he awoke. Fell From Train, Killed. Special to the Post-Dispatch, PAXTON, Ill.

OS NN en 188 BY R. VAN BERBEN. In a recent discussion ef Japan's aims and purposes in, apparently, taking un- due notice ef the action of the San Francisce schoelboard, it struck me as odd that there should be rumers of a new treaty with Japan. This led me to examine the existing treaty, which I found in the ‘‘Compilatien of Treaties in Ferce,’’ published by the Department of State in 1899. Prefacing it, I read the following statement. Treaty signed . 22, 1894; sent te the Senate Dec. 6, advised with amendments, Feb. 6, - gigned by the President, Feb. 16, 995; ratificatiens exchanged, March 21, 1895. The text of the treaty contains the stipulation that it shall remain in force for 12 years and thereafter when a year’s notice must be given by either ef the high contracting parties. Except I ? and for over thirty years of both countries, but now a discrepancies and contradictions VAN BERGEN, a cosmo- politan correspondent by mutual consent, ne changes can be! made until after July 17, 1911. Since the treaty went into effect July 17, 1899, we may take it for granted that Japan will net agree to a premature revision witheut a valuable quid pro quo. A doubt has risen in my mind as to whether we really have a treaty with Japan. According to the official decu- ment, or decument emanating from ar official seurce, queted above, the rati- fication was advised by the Senate with amendments, which agrees with my reeollections ef the histery of the treaty. But it bears the date Nov. 22, 1894, er 75 days before its ratification by the Senate with amendments. When were those amendments inserted? l examined the Congressonal Record of Feb. 4 and 6, 1895, but was unable to find a trace of discussion on the treaty; accerding te the recerds as pub- lished, Japan was net even mentioned on those days in the august body. Nor dees the index of Vol. XXVII of the Congressional Record, covering the dates referred to, mention the treaty with Japan, although it contains facts less important to the international relations with that country. Had Personal Interest in Treaty. I have good and sufficient reasons why the circumstances relating to the treaty made a lasting impression upon my mind. I was in Japan at the time; the lower classes fer several years past had shewn an unbearable arrogance and im- pertinence toward foreigners, and were supported by the native ceurts. As soon as it became known that Great Britain had signed the new treaty abolishing the extra-territorial clause, the conduct of coolies and servants became threat- ening. I remember one incident among many which is typical. One of my =—_—== lll oo: Unequaled elsewhere un- der $13.50; this week at Ce LIOR, i ke cs The Union allows you to try this Mattress thirty days—test it thor- If it is not absolutely satisfactory at the end of that time, we'll gladly take it back and cheerfully refund every cent you paid for it. $8 is our regular price—$8 is what one of these Mattresses will cost you Tuesday and every other day, except Monday—tomorrow, while 200 last, very special for......... $8 “DREAMLAND” “KOST-NO-MORE” MATTRESSES $).50 A a $8 FELT MATTRESSES, $5 A Sweeping Bargain Offering for Monday Only at the Union.

Before leaving the house, he sent for the cook to give him a reprimand. ‘You wait five years more,’’ said the haughty descendant of the (kitchen) gods, ‘‘then we shall be the masters and you will be the servants.’’ Such was the pleasant prospect before those ef us whom busli- ness pe te in Japan. I mention this to show why every American, I might say, truly, every white man in Japan, followed the nego- tlations at Washington with deep at- tention. None of us had any cenfidence in the then Secretary ef State, Walter Q. Gresham. Why, it was he that made mae? a true American citizen shed scalding tears when he dragged our flag through the mud by surrendering two Japanese at Shanghai to the Chinese to be tortured to death, merely on the rep- resentations of the Chinese Minister at Washington, and notwithstanding the cabled protests of Hon. T. R. Jernigan, United States Consul-General at Shang- hal, who insisted that the two men should have a fair and impartial trial since our country had assumed the protection of the Japanese in China. This ncident was made the subject of sensa- tional inquiry, as shewn in the index ef Vol. XVII ef the Congressional Rec- ord. Why is the treaty with omitted? Curbing Lower Classes Arrogant, I repeat that I have a very distinct recollection that the Senate amended the treaty so as to remain in force for five years from the date of going into effect, July 17, 1899. It was to be an experiment. Of course, it {is possible that the amendment was lost, but 1 daubt it, because every incident eon- Japan — THE UNION’S SUPERIOR $20.00 Refrigerators, $12.50 Made of hardwood throughout —white enamel lined—all in- terior exposed parts are sheathed with best galvanized iron, weigh 155 pounds, and an ice capacity of 65 pounds; easily cleaned, as the sides, shelves and waste pipes are all removable; worth $20 —this week at the Union for nected with the treaty is vividly in my mind, if I had the files of the subsi- dized Japan Mall I would point out an editorial in that semi-official paper. Referring to the official Blue Book Is- sued by the British Government, Capt. | Brinkley makes the astonishing state- ment that the abolition of the extra- territorial clause was opposed by Mar- quis, then Count Ito, and hints that it then British Minister in do know that the advent of the lth of July, 1899, was dreaded by the members of the Japanese Government. Hugh Frazer, it was found necessary to appeal to the FEimperor to allay the unmitigated popu- lar arrogance. His majesty issued a re- seript which, by official instructions, was read publicly in every community throughout the empire. The step was unusual, but it brought results. Defective Treaty Explains. T mention these facts to prove that my memory igs not likely to play me ftaise. If, then, the amendments of the Senate, were omitted from the treaty, it seems plain that the existing agreement is tn- valid, and this would explain the state- ments made by Washington correspon- dents that a néw treaty is under consid- eration. It would explain, too, the various acts of the present administration otherwise apparently inconsistent. In his annual message to Congress the President as- sumes a rather cavalier tone toward the San Franeisco School Board. The as- perity changes, and the Incident ends f!m the very unusual! step of inviting a local board to a conferenge relating to inter- national affairs. It would explain, too, the dropping of the sult brought by the Government against the San Francisco School Board: all recent events appar: ently incompatible with the President's usually consistent actions.

LOUIS_ POST - DISPA TCH—MARCH 24, 1907

A NEW NOVEL SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS S ALEB CONOVER, political boss and railroad os C magnhkte of the Mountain State, is a candi- t date for the gubernatorial nomination. So is his nephew by marriage, Clive Standish. Conover rules the machine and anticipates an easy victory ! ' the convention. Standish is at the head of a ist ‘ment to rid the State of the rule of corruption insti- tuted by the Conover gang. Caleb's chief reason for wishing the office is to forward his social aspirations. These ambitions have been balked by the marriage of his only son, Gerald, to Enid Montmorency, a New York chorus girl, and that of his daughter to a for- tune-hunting Italian Prince. The daughter and her ‘Prince are packed off to Europe on a; liberal allow- ance, while Caleb keeps Gerald virtuaily a prisoner, preventing him from returning to New York and ' trying to buy off his wife. Gerald vows to be re- ‘¥enged on Caleb. Conover has a pretty private sec- ‘retary, Anice Lanier, daughter of a distinguished but reduced family. She has accepted employment with Conover and is the one person on earth whom he trusts. But she treats him with a habitual re- serve that no advances of friendliness on his part can break down. Clive Standish has known and loved -her in former years, and now renews their acquain- tance. As he ig about to start on a speech-making tour of the State, and later on his return, he receives anonymous letters warning him of certain important campaign tricks planned against him by Caleb. He ye no heed to these nameless warnings, but de- @troys one of them and returns another one of them to Conover. Gerald’s wife visits Granite and makes an appeal to her husband to return to her and to Caleb to forgive them. Conover. exposes her merce- Mary motives and orders her out of the house. The convention opens and Clive, in spite of the pessimism of Karl Ansel, his campaign manager, is hopeful of victory. At the first session of the convention Con- _@ver’s trickery utterly defeats Clive and robs him of all chances for the nomination. At recess Stand- -{#h goes in deSpair to his own private office. There he finds Anice Lanier awaiting him. She commands him not to give up hope and asks him why he dis- » Tegarded the anonymous warning. He inquires what _ghe knows about these warnings. To his horror she \? confesses to having written them. 3 sriuiiiiadapiaiioa « (Copyright, 197, by Albert Payson Terhune—All rights reserved.) (Continued From Last Cunday.) CHAPTER x.

He was sorry be- aac the words had passed his lips. Yet it was the first lucid thought that came to him as his mind .@eleared from the first shock of Anice’s revelation. He knew how fully Conover believed in this pretty secretary of his; how wholly the Railroader had, in her case, departed from his life rule of universal sus- _plicion. That she should: thus, cold-bloodedly, calcu- latingly, have betrayed_the trust of eyen such an -@mployer as Caleb was monstrous.

A woman always knows. I love you. I loved you in the old days, when I wag too poor to have the right to speak. What little I am—what Ilit- tle I may have achieved—is for you. I have not made much of myself. But that I’ve made anything at all is due to you. In everything that I have done, your eyes and your smile have been before me. At heart, I've laid every Success at your feet. At heart, : I've asked your faith and your pardon for each of my failures. And, whether you care or not, it will al- ways be the same.

Perhaps that seems to you presumptuous or foolish?’ *“No.’* There was no perceptible emotion in the half- whispered word. From it Clove could glean nothing. Presently he went on: “I think whenever you see a man trying to make the most of all that is tn him, and wearing out his very soul in this breakneck American race for live- lihood, you'll find there is some woman behind it all. It 1s for her, not for his own selfish ambition, that he is fighting. Sometimes she crowns his vic- tory. Sometimes he wins only. the thorn crown. But the glory of the work and the winning are hers. Not his. Now you know why I entered this governorship fight and why I am willing to Keep it up. Oh, sweet- heart, I love you so.

Do I care for the love of a man who holds that love so cheaply he must accompany its gift with a governorship title——?”’ in that “And now,” she observed, some minutes later, as she strove to rearrange her tumbled crown of rust- colored hair before the tiny patch of office mirror, “and now, if you can be sensible for just a little while, we'll go back to the convention. And I'll ex- plain to you about those letters. The anonymous ones.”’ ‘Tt’s all right. I don’t have to be told. I’”— “But I have to tell you. That’s the worst of be- ing a girl.”’ The crowd had trooped back into. the convention hall. Gerald Conover had not been at the earlier session, but now, his sallow face flushed with liquor, he sat silent and dull-eyed among a party of noisy young satellites, in one of the dingy, chicken-coop boxes at the side of the stage. He had evidently been drinking hard. In fact, since his wife's visit to Granite, the previous week, the youngster had seldom if ever been wholly sober. Nor was his habitual apathy all due to drink. The Conover machine, having greased the wheels and oiled the cogs, did not propose to lose any time in running its Juggernaut over the young refofmer who had dared to brave an entrenched and ruthless organization. Amid the hullabaloo Bourke called the conference to order, ending his formula with the equally perfunctory request: “All gents kindly r’frain from gsmokin’!” At the word a hundred matches were struck, in scattered volley, from all corners of the place. For nothing else so inflames the desire to smoke as does its uneforceable prohibition. Thus, amid clouds of malodorous campaign tobacco smoke, was the sacrifice to the machine consummated. The committee on resolutions offered a perfunc- tory platform, filled with the customary hackneyed phrases, lauding the deeds of Democracy and de- neuncing- the Republican party. As the Republicans had never won a victory in the Mountain State since 184, these platitudes were provocative of vast yawns and shuffling of feet as the delegates impatiently awaited the call to the slaughter. The six Standish men on the Platform Committee had prepared a minority report, but on the advice of Ansel they did not present it. The Committee on Organization, by a vote of 18 to 6, offered a report nominating Bourke, temporary chairman, to .succeed himself as permanent chair- man. Tiren, while the Conover claque hooted joyously and the Standish men sat by in helpless silence, the fin- ishing stroke was delivered. Bwo reports were offered from the Committee on Credentials, one of the minority, signed by the six members from Wills and Matawan, recommending the scating of the contesting Standish delegates from the other six counties; the other, signed by the 18 Con- over members of the committee, recommending that the delegates holding credentials be allowed to retain their seats. The majority report was jammed through, while Sheviin’s noble army of brazen-lunged shouters cheered, screeched and blew tin horns. In his den behind the stage Caleb Conover’s mouth corners twisted in a grim gmile of satisfaction as the babel of noise reached him. From some mysterious source Shevlin had produced a half-dozen bottle of campagne, and there, in the room of the successful candidate, corks were drawn and success was pledged to \“the Mountain State’s next and greatest Gover- nor," with Caleb’s time-honored slogan, “To hell with reform!” as a rider. In another room, directly across the stage, a very different scene was in action. Karl Ansel had left his seat in the Wills County delegation, turning over the floor leadership of the forlorn Standish hope to Judge Shelp of Matawan, and gone direct to Stand- ish’s quarters. The room had been empty when he entered, but before he had waited 30 seconds, the door was flung open and Clive hurried in. Ansel looked sharply at him. Then in astonished bewilderment. He had expected to find the beaten man dejected, bereft of even his customary strong calm. On th contrary, Standish, his face alive with resolve and with some other impulse that baffled eyen Ansel’s shrewd observation, came into the place like a whirlwind. Kicking aside the litter of dusty stage properties and dingy, discolored hangings that were piled near the door, he made his way to Karl and grasped his hand. “How. foes it?” he asked. I thought”—— “Well, boy, it’s all us,” said Ansel. “Some fool said once that virtue was its own reward, and I guess it just naturally has to be. It never gets any other. In half an hour from now Caleb Conover will be nominated for Governor, and we will be bowing our necks for his collar, and pledging ourselves to support him and his dirty gang, just as we always ee ae ne we oenags. win, fo. toe “I'm sorry to be late.

And the grim old New Englander dropped his hand upon the shoulder of the defeated candidate with an awkward gesture that was half a caress. “Your mistaken,” retorted Clive, ‘‘the shouting has just begun. Ansel, I have made up my mind. A man owes more to his State than he owes to his party. Political regularity is one thing and common decency is another. I marched into this convention a free men, with nobody's collar on my neck, and I'm going to march out in the same way.” “What?” almost shouted Ansel, ‘You're not going to bolt?’’ “Yes, I am,” answered Standish. ‘And I’m going to bolt right now before the nomination is made.” “But, man,’’ protested Ansel, “think of it—the ir- regularity of it! You’ll be branded as a bolter and a renegade and a traitor and a lot of other things. Why, man alive, it’ll never do.’’ “Tt will do,” responded Standish. “I have it all planned. If we walk out of this convention now, we are going to take some of the delegates with us. 1 believe that the Independents will indorse us, and I believe that the Republicans will indorse us; if we take this stand. I believe that there are thousands of Democrats who think more of the State than they do of any one man or any one party. They have fol- lowed Conover because there was no one else to fol- low. Yes, I’m going to bolt, and I’m going out there now and tell these people why I do it.” ‘But look here, Standish,’ remonstrated Ansel, ‘that’s mighty near as irregular ag the bolting itself, going out there and making a speech. No can- didate’s ever supposed to show his face to the con- vention until after the nomfnation is* made. You know that,.don't you? Then, after the nomination, he comes out either to accept it or to promise his support to the winner. You'll bust the party tradi- tions to flinders.”’ ‘Very well,’’ assented Clive, “if I can smash the machines, too, {t's all I ask. I tell you my mind {s made up. This convention has been a mockery, a farce. You know how many voters were with us, and you know the deal our delegates got. The time's come in this State to draw up a new declaration of independence. And, right now, I’m going to be the man to start the ball rolling.’”’ “But, hold on!’’ began Ansle, Clive did not hear. Brushing past the lank manager he walked out of the room and made his way to the front of the platform. Karl, muttering perplexedly, followed him. As the young candidate’s tall figure emerged from the wings a buzz of wonder went up from the dele- gates on the floor below, for, as Anse! haid said, such an advent, at such a time, was without precedent. But there was neither hisses from the Conover crowd nor cheers from the corner where the survivors of the Standish hope sat. The delegates were too astonished to make any demonstration. Straight across the stage Standish strode. Shevlin, hurrying out from Conover’s room, made as though to bar his way, but gave place before the other's greater bulk, and fled to tell the Railroader what was afoot. With Ansel still behind him, Standish kept on until he reached the table beside which the chairman sat. At his coming Bourke jumped nervously to his feet. “Hey! This ain’t regular,’ he began, unconscious- ly copying Ansel’s words. “The nomination’s just goin’ to begin, and we’’—— But he could get no further. Standish pushed him aside, ignoring the chairman as completely as if he were one of the battered stage properties. Dropping one hand upon the table, he faced the crowd, his whole being alert with tense nervous force. A low murmur, like a ground swell, ran from row to row of seats, and found its echo in the galleries, where hundreds of the townspeople had packed them- selves to hear the nominating speeches, and to wit- ness, with vary emotions, the crowning victory of Caleb Conover. In the midst of a silence in which the fall of the proverbial pin would haves sounded like an early morning milk wagon, Clive Standish began the most unusual speech that a Mountain State convention had ever heard. “My friends’— # From Shevlin’s rooters came a volley of hisses and cat calls, but the disturbance and the disturbers were speedily squelched. From the galleries and from the back of the stage, where many prominent townsfolk eat, there sprang up a roll of protest, so menacing in its tone, that the half-drunken thugs’ cheer leaders deemed it the better part of valor to draw into their shells and remain thereafter mute. ‘‘My friends,’’ repeated Standish, his powerful voice echoing from floor to roof, “Abraham Lincoln freed the black men forty odd years ago. It's time that somebody freed the white brother. For years this State has groaned under the tribute of a relentless machine, under the rule of a railroad that was all stomach and no conscience, all bowels and no heart, all greed and no generosity. Our party—and with shame I say it—has been turned into a vest-pocket asset of this vile corporation. For months past, and more especially today, you have seen what its power is, as opposed to the power of the more honest citi- zens of our party. It won today, it won yesterday, and it won the day before. It always has won. It rests with us here today, now and in this hour, to decide whether a new proclamation of emancipation is to be issued or whether the great Democratic party of the Mountain State shall continye to be the chat- tel, the credulous, simple, weak-kneed, backboneless, hopeless, helpless victim of the greediest, most cor- rupt railroad that ever trailed its steel shackles across the face of the earth. Whether or not the boss-guided machine shall beat us to earth and hold us there forever. We have tried reforming the party from the inside, and we have failed. Has the time come to reform it from the outside?’ He paused, and the answer came. From the Con- over hosts went up a shout of “No! No!” mingled with hiss.and groan.

what had been but ten short minutes before a major- ity of that convention. The effect of this outburst wag diverse on its hear- ers. With Standish himself it acted as a tonic, as an electric battery which gave him added force and vigor for what he had yet to say. Karl Ansel it seemed for the moment fo stupify and paralyze. Con- vver’s lieutenants it threw into a state of consterna- tion, which approached frenzy, panic, demoralization. They ran aimlessly to and fro, conferring excitedly 70) ‘(CALEB CONOVER, RAILRO

A quantity of hand-made enthusiasm burst forth; and then, without a speech from the successful nomi- nee, the great occasion would up in a roar of cheers, shouts and blaring music. “There wasn’t any stereopticon stunts done while I Was out of the room was there?’ asked Billy Shevlin as, at the close of the proceedings, he and Bourke repaired to Conover’s den behind the stage.

Clive Standish electrifies his followers in the Convention by denouncing ‘*boss- ism’’.and proclaiming his intention to bolt the Caleb Conover slate. in hoarse whispers. Conover, alone, from his den at the rear of the stage, smiled to himself and gave no other sign of interest. Standish was speaking again, and now behind him stood Karl Ansel recovering from his amazement, and intent to catch his leader’s every word. “TI tell you,” thundered Clive, beside himself with excitement, ‘‘we have got to act—and to act now. I tell you that the people of this State, irrespective of party, are waiting for half a chance to throw off the yoke of the railroad—of the machine. All over this country of Ours bosses are being overthrown. They are going down to ruin in the wreckage of their own machine; and it is the PEQPLE who are downing them, The day of bossism is passing—pass- ing forever. We came into this convention as free men. Some of us did. And I for one propose to walk out of it a free man If we go before the people of this State on the issue of honest govern- ment as opposed to dishonesty, I tell you that we will win. It only needs a man with a match, and the nerve to use that match, to start a conflagration thaw will burn party ties to cinders and leave a free, emancipated people. ‘Let them call me bolter, if they will! Let them call me traitor, ingrate, renegade! I would rather be a bolter than a thief. I would rather rip my party, dearly as I love it, to rags and tatters, than to sacri- fice my, own self-respect any longer! I would rather tthe Democratic party pass from existence altogether than to see it continue the tool and the creature of greed and dishonesty. ‘Yes, they may call me bolter, and: properly so, for I am going to bolt this convention! Is there a man who will follow me out of doors? Out of the filthy atmosphere of this machine-ridden, boss-owned con- vention into the pure sunshine of God's own people?’ In the midst of an indescribable tumult, in which hisses and cheers were madly intermingled, Clive Standish leaped off the platform, cleared the or- chestra railing and strode up the middle alsle toward the open door at the far end of the hall. . And then a strange thing occurred. Karl Ansel, a a man wakened from a dream, rubbed his eyes and peered for a moment at Clive’s retreating back. Then with a yell that shook the rafters he, too, bounded over the rail and hastened up the aisle behind his leader. The delegates from Wills and Matawan counties arose as one man, forming in procession behind Ansel and Standish. Down the steps from the gallery came not one, nor a Gozen, but nine-tenths of those who had heard the speech, including the very cream of the represenfa- tive business element of Granite. The remarkable scene was over in almost less than it takes to tell of it. In a daze sat the abandoned convention. Glancing about them, even the Conover delegates discovered here and there vacant chairs, gaps in their own solid ranks, where some one, weaker perhaps than the others—or perhaps stronger ~had been moved by the furious oratory of Clive Standish to join that procession which even now Was {

“Oh, nothin’,” said Billy, ‘‘only I heard one of them N’ York reporters sayin’ something about’ handwrit- in' on the wall. Maybe it’s a new joke that ain't reached Granite yet.” “No,” remarked the Rallroader, as he joined his Meutenants. “it hasn’t reached Granite, and what's more it ain’t going to. The only handwriting on these walls will take the form of a double cross, And it'll be opposite Standish’s name.”

CHAPTER xI. CALEB CONOVER MAKES TERMS. 66 ELL,” remarked Caleb Conover, Raltlroader, W with ,a Gargantuan sigh of relief as he flung himself into the great desk chair in his study, and lighted one of his eternal black cigars, “that’s over.’’ “It sure is!’ chuckled Billy Shevlin, who, alone of the cheering throng that had escorted the guberna- torial nominee home from the convention, had been permitted to enter the sanctum. “But, Boss, I wisht that Standish feller hadn’t stampeded the herd like he did. It'll cut holes in your ‘landslide’ scheme.” “What can the crank do?” grinned Caleb. “Not a paper in Granite’ll report his. speech. And we'll work the same game up-State we did during his tour. If worst comes to worst, there's always & quiet, order- ly way of losing sight of him at the polls. No, son, Standish’s yawps don't bother me any more. I've got him about where I want him, I guess. Here's the cash for the rooters. And here’s something for the boys tonight, too. Whoop it up all you like, so long as you keep on the other side of the railroad tracks. That'll be all. Come around by eight tomorrow. And say, Billy!” he called after his departing henchman, “see if you can find Miss Lanier downstairs any- where. I want to speak to her. The Railroader leaned farther back in the depths of the soft chair, drawing in great drafts of strong tobacco reek and expelling it in duplex clouds through his thick nostrils. Anice Lanier’s knock sounded at the door. Caleb’s placid expression deepened into a smile of real pleasure. “Come in!” he called. “I was just hoping you’a"—~ He checked himself, Across the threshold stepped. Anice, She wore a hat and was dressed for the. street. Over her shoulder Caleb caught sight of Clive Standish. “Here's all sorts of unexpected honors!” exclaimed the Rallroader. “I heard you'd bolted, Standish, but I never thought you'd bolt so far as this poor shanty of mine. Come in and sit down. We'll make a real merry family party, us three.” There was something peculiarly happy in this ad- vent of the defeated man to swell the victor’s tri- umph. Caleb vaguely felt this. He was glad Anice should see Clive and himself together; should be able to observe his own reserved strength as op posed to the bombastic denunciation Standish had ss come to deliver. note the contrast between the two; to see her em- ployer’s superiority m self-control and repartee.

And all this dimby troubled Caleb Conover. “Anything the matter?” he asked, with somewhat idea, that! Only I'm afraid it wouldn't work this time. In business partnership, you know, one man puts up the money and the other the experience. And by the end of sixty days they've usually swapped. But in, politics one man always has both the experience and the money. Or the means of getting ‘em. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be there at all. So I'm afraid I'll have to refuse.”’ He ended with a laugh that 414 not carry convic- tion, even to himself. No one replied. Neither of his g00d temper wavered, “What's up?” he demanded of Clive. “Speak out, can’t you?’ But it was Anice Lanier who replied, “Mr. Conover,” she said, “you recollect the un- om letter, inclosing some of your campaign plans, t was sent back to you by Mr, Standish last soca Caleb’s red hair bristled. “Yes,” he answered, deep down in his throat, “Have you found out who sent it?’ “T have,” she returned, in the same “Also the sender of two other letters of eurlier in the campaign.

He was himself again; arro- gant, masterful, vibrant with quick resources.A sar< donic smile creased his wooden face, “You're a noble work of God, Miss Lanier, you?” he sneered, “In Bible days the trayed his Master wag made the star time.

WRESTLING WIT UNWRITTEN LAW , — Carthage Streets Crowded With Persons Awaiting Verdict in Murder Trial.

PLEAS WERE ELOQUENT

Trial of Doctor's Slayer Hard- , est Fought Case in Coun- ty’s History.

WIFE LEADING WITNESS She Told of Alleged Mistreat-

‘ment by Man Her Hus- band Shot. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CARTHAGE, Mo., March 23.—The jury in the case of Arthur Sanderson, who pleaded the unwritten law as justifica- tion for killing Dr. S. B. Meredith, his family physician, is still out, and it is not believed they will render a verdict tonight. The instructions submitted by Judge Dobbs cover the case in every phase, from murder in the first degree, with death for a punishment, to murder in the fourth degree, with a jail sen- tence or a fine. ' The occasion appears to event in Carthage. Scores swarm the streets tonight ee. for and Judge fugh Dobbs is here ready to reconvene court in the event that the jury reaches a conclusion before midnight. Sanderson has made many friends since his trial began, and especially since his wife took the witness stand and, in an effort to save her husband, told under oath that Dr. Meredith had wronged her. No .One seems to believe Sanderson = will be a gala of people ang. The !egal battle today was the fierc- est ever fought in Jasper County. One attorney for the prosecution, in a bit- ter attack on the methods of the de- ‘fense, said: “I have heard it said fhat ‘s0Ome attorneys in this county can prove anything they desire to prove by wit- nesses brought from Newton County.” e referred to witnesses brought from tchie, Meredith's former home, for the purpose of undermining Meredith's Teputation. for chastity. One of these Witnesses was a son of Gilbert Barbee, well known in State politics. Counsel Quotes Commandments. Many oratorica!] cilmaxes were reached in the arguments. Perhaps the strongest was in the argument of George Clay, for the defense. He said: ~*"The prosecutor reminds you of the immutable commandment: not kill.’ I wou remind you, also, that there are nine others, and one of them is: ‘Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. I would add that he who enters his neighbor's home in evil must die.” C. 8. Walden, a Joplin lawyer, made a strong plea for the prosecution. He ri- diculed the contention of the defense that Meredith carrid a revolver in his right hip pocket. Meridith was a left- handed man, and when the lawyer fin- ished his statement on that point, he caused some amusement when he specu- lated on the “sublime eloquence” of a man face to face in the home of the husband whose wife he had _ defiled, that husband facing him ‘“‘with a gun in his hand and in his own houge.”’ Mr. Walden was sure a man would be willing to reason the thing, he said. Sanderson claimed when he asked Dr. Meridith “to reason the thing,’’ the doctor refused and made a “gun play” before lie was shot. Pleads Unwritten Law. Col. A. M. Thomas, a member of the southwest bar, pleaded for Sanderson and the chastit of the home and an- Other of the defense openly pleaded the “unwritten law." “And when you have set Arthur San- gon free,."’ he continued, “he will take is little wife and go somewhere where y are un wh, somewhere where little chil may be reared with- the finger of &corn being pointed at ne aat tor what their young mother done, but for what Meredith did.”’ Dr. Meredith's dying statement con- “fained a paragraph denying that he had but the prosecution was unable to get this para- graph before the jury. 3 $412 INTEREST ON $300.

Proposition to Walk Out Car- ries by 95 Per Cent—One Chance Left. ies.) area IN CHICAGO

————ae Trainmen Will Meet Employ- ers, May Get New Set of Terms, COMPROMISE SUGGESTED

Commission of Roosevelt's Choice May Bring Peace to Situation, \

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 23.—The vote for a strike on the Western railroads has been carried by a majority of nearly 95 per cent. This estimate was given to- day by a committee who reached the city in advance of the general confer- ence of the eonductors and trainmen. which will be held at the Sherman House. About 150 of the 200 railroad employes who will take part in the conference ar- rived before midnight and the others, together with Grand Master Morrissey of the Trainmen's Brotherhood § and Grand Chief Garretson of the Conduc- tors’ order, are expected tomorrow morning. These men will recanvass the vote and make an official announcement of the result, probably Monday. There remains one chance that the impending strike will be averted. Officials representing 40 railroau sys- tems from Chicaga to the Pacific Coast will confer Monday afternoon. It is ex- pected they will receive a request for a conference from the employes and that it will be granted. The situation at present means that unless the roads see fit to make the men a better offer sorhe radical action will be taken. The matter now rests in the hands of the grand lodges of the two brotherhoods. If they wish to order a «trike it will be in thelr power to do so. Possibly, however, they may decide to recommend another vote rather than start a strike which will tie up every railroad in the West. The practically unanimous rejec- tion by the men of the railroads’ pres- ent proposition, which carries with it an increase in wages of about 8 per cent, is believed to have the effect of forcing their officers into a _ radical positon. It is said the officers will not dare to recommend another vote, unles the railroad companies make a better offer. Employes Expect Compromise. Several members of the employes’ committee seem to think that the roads will come forward with a com- promise offer, which will give the men about 10 per cent advance pay. In that case, the outlook for a peace- abel solution of the problem would be favorable. There was general sur- prise regarding the result of the strike vote. On several systems, employes were aimost unanimous in their disapproval of the roads’ wage sete, omen Out of 4000 train ser- vice employes on the Northwestern roads it is said less than 50 voted to adopt the 8&8 per cent increase which the company tendered. The general managers of the railroads are not worrying over the sjtuation, although they admit it to be’ acute. They ex- press the hope some way may be found out of the difficulty. The trouble is that neither side Its willing to make concessions because of the fact that the action might be construed as a sign of weakness. In the last event the managers are pre- pared ‘to offer arbitration again. Either the Interstate Commerce Com- mission or a commission selected by President Roosevelt or a board to be chosen by the men and the rallroads probably would be acceptable in case it is decided to settle the matter tn this manner. TAGS FOR POLICEMEN. Will Be Easier for Complain- ants to Say ‘You're It.” St. Louis policemen will wear alumi- num tags on their helmets. On each tag in large black characters will be a number corresponding to the number on the wearer's star. This was ordered by the Police Board in executive session yesterday. It was decided that something must be done to make it easier for a citizen to ascer- tain the identity of policemen against whom they may wish to lodge a com- plaint. The cost of the tags will be 35 cents each and the policemen will be required to pay for them. JURY DENIES INTOXICATION. State Heard in Dr. Feist’s Mo- tion for Retrial. Special to the Post-Diapateh.

Other members of the jury corroborated f. Brown's statement.

CASES HELD TWO YEARS

Judge Nortoni Has Written Only 99 Opinions in Two Years.

OTHER JUDGES HELP HIM

Of 261 Cases Assigned to Him Associates Have Han- dled 142,

For the first time fn its history the St. Louls Court of Appeals, the second highest tribunal of the State, is to abandon a docket in an effort to dispose of business that has ween accumulating for the last two years. Under the court's order all cases which were re- turnable to the March docket have been continued until. October. Judge Richard L. Goode dissented from the motion to delay hearing the cases which should have come before the court in the March term for argu- ment and submission. His reasons are understood to be his willingness to de- prive Judge Bland, who is in failing health, of the comparative rest which the hearing of tnese casés during three days of each of the five weeks would afford him. Attorneys who practice in the Court of Appeals are dissatisfied with the continuance of the docket, but are not disposed to criticize Judge sland or Judge Goode, both of whom, it is point- ed out, have been doing more than their share. The delay is charged to vuuge Nortoni, who, the records show, has not kept up with work assigned to him. From Opinions of a Month.

The 50,000 organized musicians of the country. will asked, through the 300 delegates, who will represent them in the convention, to place a ban upon the imported artist, and to declare that in the future when he is brought to Amer- ica it will be well for him to bring 4 full orchestra with him, for he can expect to get no help from the musi- Clans of this country. The musictans admit there may be oc- casions when there is an excuse for bringing some artist across tne water, but they say the occasions are few and far between. They have decided to put an end to the practice. which, they Say, nas become almost a fad in some parts of the East. to engage a foreigner tor a season, or part of one, and have him supplant some good American.

The special grievance of the musi- cians’ unions is against the management of the Symphony Orchestra in Cincing nati, which, they claim, has made a practice of bringing over Once or twice a vear some artist who has often been compelled to appeal to the home talent to make good his reputation. In each instance, it is said, the imported artist has taken the piace of some di- 1ector or leader who was doing well and with whom the majority of the music lovers were satisfied. St. Louls will send three delegates to the convention. They are Owen Miller, general secretary of the American Fed- eration of Musicians; Otto Ostendor?’y, treasurer of Local Union No. 2 of St Louis, and Thomas Sims These men will take a prominent part in the fight against imported musicians. That the men from St. Louis will be important factors in the convention Is evident from the fact that this city is one of the 20 entitled to three delegates. Tired of Imported Artists. “The organized musicians have grown tired of the growing hablii of importing ‘artists’ from France, Ger- many, Italy, Russia and other foreign countries.” said Owen Miller to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday. ‘and we have come to the conclusion that it is time to call a halt. Nowhere in the country can @ better orchestra be found than that which has its home in St. Louis, and every member of which is a resident of this city.

Couple Married Three Months After His First Wife Killed Baby and Self, Special to the Post-Dispatcen. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., March The faith in her husband that induced Mrs. Mary Tower to wait in her lone- ly mansion here until his love would draw him to her has been rewarded. Al- bert E. Tower, the millionaire iron- master, has effected a_ reconciliation with his pretty young wife, and the two are planning a second honeymoon trip together. Miss sophie Bogardus, a sister of Mrs. Tower, is authority for the statement that the couple have been reunited. ‘Mary never lost faith in her hus- band,’ said she, ‘‘and knew that he would return to her. They are now very happy again.”’ Mrs. Tower, who, before her marriage four years ago, was a telephone oper- ator in this city, refused to be seen, but it is understood that she gave her sister permission to speak for her. She will join her husband in New York City today, and the two will go to Wash- ington. After a short stay there they will travel abroad. Nothing in the life of Tower, which has been marked by tragedies and sen- sational episodes, has been more pathet- ic than the estrangement with his young wife. Ever since last June she has been waiting in their beautiful home overlooking the Hudson for him to give up the woman she knew he was infatu- ated with and return to her. “My one desire in life,’’ she is quoted as saying, “is to win back his love. I will never divorce him. Whenever he is tired of this way of living or when his new friends desert him, I will be waiting for him, ready to do a wife’s duty.’’ The reconciliation wag effected a few weeks ago through Tower mec +, his wife at a theater party in New xork. Mutuai friends brought them together. Tower expressed regret for his previous acts, and his wife at once forgave film. “Tt love. you as I always have,” said she, ‘and I am willing to start life anew with you.”’ k Mrs. Tower went to Palm ebtch a short time after this meeting. Her hus- band followed and showed great devo- tion. The wife recently returned to this city, Tower following ghortly afterward. He is now said to be in New York. Had an Eventful Life. The life of Albert Edward Tower has been an eventful one. His father worked himself up from an ordinary laborer to a millionaire ironmaster. When he died he left his son $4,000,000.

TT FINAL HEARING APRIL 4 Prosecution Probably Will Be Conducted Under Laws of Illinois. By Wire From the Washington: Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 23.—President Roosevelt is so anxious to add the scalp of E. H. Harriman to his collection that ut his personal direction the Depart- ment of Justice is looking into the ques- tion, although the final hearings of the Harriman merger will not be held until April 4. Attorney-General Bonaparte is giving his personal attention to the matter and is being assisted by assistat Attorney- General Purdy and other trust-busting experts. The President wants to know whether or not on the evidence already submitted he can make a case against Mr. Harriman, either under the Sher- man anti-trust law or under the inter- state commerce act, The President was greatly exercised art the disclosures in the Chicago & Alton deal and at all the facts brought out fn the investigation of the Harriman roads. At that tinie he conferred with the Attorney-General and others as to whether or not the Government could prosecute Mr. Harriman for the Alton deal. It was the opinion of the Gov- ernment’s lawyers that any prosecution fer.-the Chicago & Alton deal would have to be under the laws of the State of Illinois, It was this question that brought Gov. Deneen ana Attorney-General Stead of illinois to the White House a week ago. The President wanted to get a pledge from Gov. Deneen and the Attoruey- General of Illinois that they wouid prosecute Harriman for the part he played in the Chicago & Alton deal. Tie Attorney-General for illinois frankly told the President that in his opinion there is no law in Illinois under which Mr. Harriman can be prosecuted for the- Alton deal. The President ex- pressed great surprise at this and when assured that it was a fact, he asked the Governor to draw up and send to the Legislature a bill which wuuld make a repetition of the Alton deal impon- sible, or, if attempted, punishable ty fine and imprisonment. To draw uo such a bi und recommend its passage was among the Governor’s first acts up- on his return to Springfield, 111. Cullom Makes Report. Senator Cullom of Illinois, who had several conferences with Gov. Deneen and Attorney-General Stead while they were here, confirmed their report to the Presdent that under the existing laws in Illinois there could be no pros- ecution of E. H. Harriman. _The facts gathered by the Interstate Commerce Commisson in its investi- gations of the Harriman roads, while not all in the hands of the Department of Justice, great quantities are, and are being made the basis for the attention of the Attorney-General, and his assist- ants at the direct order of the Presi- dent.

The complaint for divorce is brief. The only charge made was that Brown was convicted in the Federal Court here of conspiracy to defraud and is now a prisoner at Leavenworth. The only ether material fact stated in the com- plaint is that the plaintiff and Brown were married in October, 1887. Mrs. Brown asks nothing but an absolute divorce. The Browns have one son, a tion with which he was connected, at last has turned against her husband and sued him for divorce, her petition being filed in this city, where she resides. Denied a new trial, deserted by most of the men he had formerly counted among his friends, shunned by many of his former acquaintances and down- hearted and sick, Brown, soon after his conviction on the bank wrecking charge, found himself with one faithful friend. That friend was his wife. Her heart bleeding for her suffering husband, Mrs. Brown moved to Leaven- worth, among strangers that she might be near him. She rented a modest house f there and announced that her husband's plight would be made as light as she could make it. The faithful wife’s reward for the sacrifices she made for ier husband was, according to statements made by her friends to the Indianapolis Star. mistreatment from him, It was said by them that Brown soured on every- body and everything soon after enter ing the prison and that he grew peev- ish and irritable.

Meat Hash. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., March 23.— More than one thousand veterans at the National Soldiers’ Home here are suf- fering from ptomatine poisoning, the re- sult of eating meat hash at breakfast this morning. The first Symptoms of trouble were manifested several hours after breakfast. Soon the home hospital settee gg sick veterans and the ambulances re rushing in from the barracks with loads of them.

After being out 19 hours the jury in Judge Williams’ court re- ported Saturday afternoon that it could not agree. Richard H. Meyers, a member of the jury, said the disagreement was due mainly to the failure of Prosecuting Attorney Jones to introduce in evi- dence the revolver with which the shooting was done, In his own defense Kern testified that when he went to his former wife’s home at 3602 North Eleventh street at her request the night of July 14 last she advanced upon him with a revolver and he shot her in self-defense.

LESS MUSCLE, MORE QUALITY IN WOMEN -

Canada Seeks Higher Grade Immigrants and Hints at Matrimony. LONDON, March 23.—Canada is tired of the buxom English lass with brawny muscles. Mrs. Simpson Hayes, repre- senting the Dominion Government, has come to England to appeal for a bet- ter-class woman immigrant. She asks that well-bred, well-spoken and well-mannered English women, with refined tastes and, above all, en- thusiasm, should visit her at the Canadian emigration offices with a view to embarking for Western Canada. ‘Canada is tired of the English girl of the servant type who is constantly emigrating,” Mrs. Hayes said. ‘The reason is this. These girls, when leav- ing England, bolster themselves up with the idea that they are sonving servitude behind, and that in Canada they will be real ‘ladies.’ “Their notion of a real ‘lady’ is a per- sonage who does nothing but looks or- namental. They arrive in Canada to ) different women looking for ‘helps.’ “So great is the demand and so ur- gent the need for women workers that the seeker does not stop to demand a character, “She is so anxious to gain the help offered that she takes into her house the English serving woman who, very goon, assumes the airs of the mistress. “It Is not these women that we want. An educated woman, who goes out as a mother’s help, need fear no insults in her new home. She will be expected to work, but she will be treated as one of the family. “] wish it were possible to rob people of the belief that only muscular, rough women should emigrate. We want wom- en who are willing; it does not matter so much if they are skillful. “There is room for 10,000 mother’s helps in Canada. The work may be hard but there is refinement of the highest kind. There are also many men wait- ing to marry the woman who proves the rivht kind.” “ Houser’s Auto Damaged.

Secret System Installed on Battleship Virginia for a Trial. NEW YORK, March 23.—The_ or- dnance officers of the United States Navy have devised a system for con- trolling the fire of the big guns on the battleships and armored cruisers that many officers believe will give to the men behind them absolute and perfect control of the great pieces of ordnance. Details of this new system are being kept secret by the Navy Department, and it is hoped that the secret will stay for at least several years the exclu- sive property of the United States Gov- ernment. The system is now being installed on the battleship Virginia under the su- pervision of Lieut. Latimer, the ord- nance officer of that ship. ceive thorough trial in the forthcoming target Fenetice of the battleships and armore cruisers in West Indian waters. Should the system equal ex- pectations it will be installed on the ether battleships and armored cruisers, not only of the Atlantic, but of the Pa- cific and Asiatic fleets. The other day a reporter went on board the Virginia, which is in drydock at the navy yard, and asked Lieut. Lati- mer to explain the new system. Lieut. Latimer smiled broadly and said that his superior, Capt. Schroeder, the com- manding officer of the Virginia, would have to do the talking about the new System of fre control. am sorry,”’ said Capt. when he was asked about it, ‘“‘but real- ly I cannot talk about it. All that I can say is that the system is the de- velopment of many ideas, which we hope will be a great improvement on the present system of controlling the fire of the guns. It will, we hope, make it possible to fire the guns with greater rapidity and with much greater accuracy. That is all I can say agg now.

Law Against Expectoration. A public meeting will be held Tues- day evening under the auspices of the St. Louis Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis ang the St. Louis Soctety for the Relief of Consgmptives at the Medical Society Building, 3523 Pine street. Mrs. Philip N. Moore will be the principal speaker of the evening. One of the objects of the mocking is to start a movement to compel the Po- lice Board to enforce the ordinance directed against the spread of the dis- ease. At the meeting Mrs. Moore will appoint a committee of three to wait upon the Police Board and demand that the promiscuous expectoration in public places be stopped by the police. Other speakers at the meeting will be Irvin V. Barth, Rey. John W. Day, Dr. William Porter, Mrs. Samuel IL. Block and Dr. Louis Warfield. RED SHIRTS IN DANGER. Section Hands on “Katy” May Have to Doff Them. Section foremen along the line of the) Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rallroad are awaiting with profound trepidation the outcome of an Investigation beimg made by General Superintendent Alvord. Their foreboding is due to the fact that their red shirts are in danger. Ebenezer L. Kirtley, chief clerk to is the cause of the trouble. It occurred to Kirtley that a red shirt might be mistaken for a danger signal, or that a danger signal might be mistaken for a red shirt, and he set about inquiring whether such & thing had ever happened. So far he has received no report of a delay or accident

But the investigation is not at an end. will be questioned. To Kirtley’s mind it is apparent that disastrous consequences might at any moment arise from the section foreman’s traditional fondness “Of course, I don't want to boycott the red shirt,” Kirtley told a Post-Die- “No order will be is- solution of the merger under which the Harriman interests are operating the Southern and Union Pacific roads and the Oregon Short Line. In the event the commission makes no recommendations either way, the De- partment of Justice has the right to take the testimony and bring any ac- tion it may deem best. MAN GOOD HOUSEKEEPER. Thomas Hammond Could Make Fine Corn Bread. Thomas Lewis Hammond, who is be- ing sued by Mrs. Rosa Lee Hammond in Judge Withrow’s court for divorce, could make fine cornbread, in addition to other household accomplishments, ac- cording to the deposition of Mrs. Lillie Marie Ehrhardt of Jefferson City. He was mother and father of the two children, the witness says. He would dress them, put them to bed and take them out walking. “What kind of a housekeeper and cook was he?’ the witness was asked. “Well, I think he did fine—as well as any woman could do. He could make fine cornbread.”’ Mrs. Martha F. Clarke of Jefferson City deposed that Mr. Hammond was a member of the Baptst Church and a@ good worker, and that the ladies could always call on him to help them out at the church. She visited them after they moved to St. Louis, during the World's Fair, and she. says that while the rest visited the fair he stayed at home and toek care of the chil- dren. ‘“‘He was more like a woman than a man in the home,” she says. “He was a better cook than Mrs. Ham- mond."’ Mrs. Clara Beal, in her deposition, says that Mr. Hammond always wanted Mrs. Hammond to eat when he had a meal prepared. She saw him doing the family washing and ironing in the base- ment and from the fact that she saw him sweeping down the stairs she con- cluded that he also cleaned up the sleeping rooms. “GAVE HER A LITTLE PUSH.” Weigel Will Have to Explain to Judge Tracy, The marital troubles of Mrs. Frieda Weigel and her nusband, William, which became public last Dece r, when “Slim” Davidson, a roomer, shot her and killed himself because she refused to elope with him, willl be further aired in the Ci Hall Police Court.

Bolton, three weeks after the trial be- “ban, have been allowed to go at the oe. , Close of each day, has helped only in part. Those who have availed them- selves of the opportunity to go to their offices have been so overwhelmed with work that it has been a severe strain. Captivity Caused Them Loss. Before ttre death of Juror Bolton's jury, aen not in the court- room, was locked up in the Broadway Central Hotel. After that they were given thelr freedom after adjournment each day. Each adjournment has in- variably found the majority of the jur- . prs hustling to their offices, to work un- - til late at night. = At least one of the jurors has no other _ revenue than his pay from the State and he has to figure closely to maintain him- self and his wife. Foreman Deming ’*B. Smith is one of the jurors who does not have to worry to any extent about the long confine- ment. Mr. Smith retired three years ago. after making a fortune from the manufacture of an umbrella. He lives in an apartment at 263 west 111th street. While Juror Smith would not experience any real financial distress if he were Omiged to sit twice as long in the Thaw case, he is anxious to look after some of the interests in which he has his money vested, George Pfaff, Juror No. 2, is a part- rin the hardware manufacturing at 122 Center street.

He now has no revenue except- ing the $2 a day which he receives froin his jury service. This, with a wife to maintain, does not go very far. Loring His Commissions. Juror No. 7 is Malcolm S.

Charles D. Newton, the eighth juror, is a retired real estate dealer, living’ in a brown-stone residence at 267 yest invested. His only losses are théSe 0c- casioned by his inability to look after various important real estate deals of a private nature. The Thaw trial came at a very wrong time for Wilbur F. Steele, who }s Juror No. 9, and the oldest man on the panet. Mr. Steele, who lives at 629 West One Jiundred and Fifty-first street, is @ con- tracting builder of gas plants. He has handled some large contracts for the Government and his business requires all his time. At the time that Mr. Steele was called for jury duty he was busy preparing a bid for a $75,000 contract, the profit from which, he hoped, would be at least $10,000. Mr. Steele could not allow this to iniluence his answer when he was asked if he could faithfully judge the testimony in the murder trial. He made such a good impression that he was instantly accepted as a juror. The con- tractor was locked up two weeks with — jury at the Broadway Central Ho- el, Lost a Big Contract. In the meantime the bids for the $75, - 000 contract were sent in. Juror Steele, not having data at hand to finish his bid, had to make a rough estimate. His bid was second highest. He found arf- terward that he had made an error in computation and that with the data he could have obtained he would have got the contract. Another contract on which Mr. Steele was asked to bid he had to abandon al- together. His entire losses through the inability to attend to his business affairs will probably be over $15,000.

—— DEATH AGAIN PROTECTS ALCHEMIST’S SECRETS. IA PITS ‘ ’ ‘ PARIS, March 23.—M. Berthelot, the great scientist, who died of grief im- mediatley following his wife's death was probably the only chemist of this day who has been recognized as work- ins in the right way to discover secrets to the medieval alchemists. When his body was brought from his wifc’s death chamber to his study there was lying on his desk a Seventh Cen- tury treatise on alchemy, in old Moor- ish script. He had been long impatient for its arrival, saying that the alchem- ists, without the scientific method of today, had acquired an extraordinary knowledge of that science, and if to- day we could recover their lost ge- crets, we would make leaps forward more astonishing than all that have marked the past century. Berthelot’s work on alchemists is the worlds authority on the subject, and aitheugh his enemies, who were many hrecause of his high state positions and well paid sinecures, mocked at him for what they called his infantile belief in magic, ti is calculated that his discoy- erics in artificial production of natural combinations have enriched manufac- turers by hundreds of millions of dg}- lars. Berthelot himself never patented any of his discoveries, but published them freely, leaving who would to reap the entire financial prefit. The Cabinet has decided to ask Par- lixment to authorize the entombment of the bodies of M. Berthelot and his wife in the Pantheon.

ENGLISH ARISTOCRATS COOL TO SWINDLER. LONDON, March 23.—Lord William Nevill, who is under heavy bail to an- Swer to a charge of swindling a pawn- broker, has broken his father’s and his wife’s hearts. The wife is a Spanish woman, a former noted beauty and hetr- ess. She has supported Nevili out of the small remainder of her fortune since his release from jail after four years’ im- prisonment for swindling young Spender Clay, who was married to Pauline Astor. Lady Nevill has announced her inten- tion of retiring to a convent to end her days. The Marquis of Abergaveny, Lord Ne- vill’s father, ts seriously ill and over- whelmed with shame and sorrow. Nevill himself appears quite indiffer- ent. At the Grand National Steeple- chase he was shunned on all sides by his aristocratic connections, but he ap- lpeared not to mind

How to harness the north wind and make it heat houses for persons, in- stead of freezing them to death, is a problem solved to his satisfaction by Dr. M. J. Gahan of this city. Several factors enter into his plan for lighting, heating and cooking without cost. He proposes that there shall be no expense save the origina] cost of in- stalling the plant. Power to do these things, whether it be for a residence or for a whole city, is generated by means of a windmill or a system of windmills. “Kor 20 years,” says Dr. Gahan in an interview in the World-Herald, ‘‘l have been studying various expedients for solving the fuel problem. At the time of the Pennsylvania coal strike I experimented with chemicals in the treatment of coal dust so that it might be converted into anthracite coal. The problem was not difficult of solution, and at the present time there are a number of factories in America and in Europe where my method is employed in the making of hard coal by a chem- ical process.”’ Unsatisfied with the cost of manufac- turing fuel at $2.50 a ton, Dr. Gahan was convinced that he could furnish heat and light at no cost at all. He, there- fore, began his experiments to see if he could not furnish fuel at nothing per year. Speaking of the valuable fertilization going to waste from the sewers of Paris, Victor Hugo said: “Five hun- dred millions of francs are annually thrown into the Seine.” “Enormous Waste of Power.” ‘Tf that assertion is trué¢,’’ said Dr. Gahan, “In the sense that Victor Hugo meant it, how much greater is our loss in Nebraska when we consider the pow- er going to waste in the winds annually blowing over our prairies! Why not save some of that power? Why not have windmills pump ae into compress- ers, and thereby bottle up sufficient power to operate motors and dynamos? “When this idea first came to me it seemed so simple that I was loath to set much store by it. Then I. learned of Wittkeil, a town in Holland, where the power for lighting the municipality is generated from a great windmill. That plant has been in operation for some years, and has proven eminently satis- factory. ‘But,’ says the skeptic, ‘what if there is no wind? Now, that contingency Caught After Two Years. George De Hatre, who escaped from the custody of the Clayton Jatler, May f%. 1905, has been arrested by Consta- ble Bode and returned to the Clayton Jail. De Hatre was serving for assault upon Steven Gittemeyer. He was work- ing with the other prisoners and was shackled. While the guard was dtrect- ing the work some distance from him he succeeded in slipping the shackles from his legs and escaped. When arrested in St. Louls he said he had just returned from Memphis. LSstiom Remarkable Knife and Club in Cell, One of the prisoners in the Clayton Jail yesterday reported to Jailer Mor- rison that Ralph Edgar Montrose. await- ing trial on a charge of bigamy, gad threatened the life of Sheriff Herpei. The prisoner making the report said Montrose told him he planned to way- lay the Sheriff as he passed through the Jail and kill him. A search of Mont- oSe’s cell was made and a knife and a club were found. He is thought to have got them from some prisoner who picked them up while out working with the chain gang.

will come to it later. The point firat to} be considered is that rarely in Nebras- | ka is there a day when there is not! enough wind to turn a windmill. I re-} fer you to the records of the weather! bureau. The average wind velocity for, Nebraska during the past 36 years is, 10.6 miles an hour. In Omaha it ts 8.6) miles an hour; In North Platte, 9.1; in Lineoln, 11.1; in Chevenne, 11.5. “Let us suppose, however, that there are several days in each month when a windmill cannot work. On the days that it does work it can fill up the em- ergency tanks, and enough compressed air will be stored to last through the lull. The air motor will be kept at work, and will drive the dynamo which does the heating and the lighting. Cost of Each Plant $1200. “I may here add that in Nebraska the Union Pacific shops at Grand there is an air tank which 40 hand motors. The air, however, is. compressed by means of a small ‘en-! gine, Instead of a windmill, as I pro-'| pose to employ in the storage of es,

Briefly described, the system is Lis: ‘You first have to nave size adapted to the d«itnand nect your windmill with an air com- presser and your air compresser with an air receiver or stoOiuge ank. The air receiyer will then ve connected with an air motor, turbine‘’im form. ‘This air motor will be connected with a dvnamo by gear or friction driv>, demnding on size of dynamo and local conditions. “Por heating and lighting the dynamo is then connected with clectrical radia- tors and electrical kitchen.

Second, you can have a email boiler, with electical plates inside. and steam kept up continuously while running a dynamo by compressed aur. so that, when the wind tndicates it is down, you can throw the steam into your air storage or tank, and by that means you can accomplish, by expan- | sion of the air contained, the object in view. “If you have % pounds of compressed air in the tank, the Introduction cof steam, 8ayY a lo-pound pressure, will double the compression tn your tank to 9) pounus, and every 15 pounds above that will treble the compression by cx- pansion of the alr in the tank, whicn will put you over an emergency of W to 24 hours.’’ a windmill, ; then con- RE nee eee Sete is an more than processes are

And the three best pitchers New York has fell before the McAleer | crowd. ; McGinnity, the Iron man, was the first victim. He was good for three hits } and one run in the three innings he worked. Taylor, the Dummy, had a try for the same number of rounds »touched up for four runs and as many hits. “*. Next the great Christy Matthewson was called upon and he went the way +of the others, allowing six hits and two runs. And let no one believe the New York pitchers were not doing the best they ‘knew how. They were working every foot of the way and sprung everything they had in curves and slow balls, and everything else looked alike to _ the y wns. It was a great day for the Browns. McAleer put a patched-up team the field. He hag an unknown pitcher on first base. More about him later, kid pitcher in the box and a sore-arm catcher behind the bat as well as be- Ing shy Stone in the outfield. What would have happened if Stone had been there can only be guessed at. , But it was a great day for the kid pitcher, young Mr. Compton, and for the unknown pitcher who played first base. Compton did the box work like an old timer against the hard-hitting Giants, and pitcher Chriss, while he will never make a first baseman, covered himself with glory with the bat and earned a permanent place for himself on the team. 4 Chriss went to bat four times and got three hits. One of them was a ‘home run, and another would have been a homer on any other ball grounds ' except the one here, where a colse right field fence shut him off. Each of his hits, too, was productive of runs. The first time Chriss went to the bat he knocked a high fly that was an easy out. “Look here Dode,”’ said McAleer, You say you can hit any pitcher in the world; now go after these men. Don’t let them scare you be- eause they are from New York.” : The score: ODE—and that is his real name. and not a nickname—and proceeded to get busy right away, a§d after the game said that he expected 2 ye to strike his gait before long, and do some real batting. He is a "great big, strong country boy, who has playéd every position on the ball - field in this part of the country, and the Texas people say he is the great- > est hitter in the world. And he really looks the part. McAleer said to- ‘night that he would hang on to the man and keep him sitting on the bench mat necessary just to be used when @ hit was needed. ie But to get back to the game. When the New Yorks, 30 strong, trotted ‘out on the field, they looked all over winners, followed as they were by the little squad of 10 men McAleer brought over from Austin. The grandstand was packed to overflowing and it looked like everybody wanted to get a bet down on New York. The odds went from even money to 3 to 1. But it was only for a little while. In the first half of the third inning, Compton started off with a hit yl h short for a base. Niles sac-rificed him down to second, and then throu Beem ill put one over the right field fence, which only counted for a _@ouble, but scored Compton. a That was the end of Mr. McGinnity. and was x gr In the last part of that inning Compton proved that he was quite a eee and pend his head well, while in a bad hole.

SOME WONDERFUL DOGS ARE ENTERED IN THE BENCH SHOW! a ocea

Preparations of an elaborate character aS, Mae made for the second annual dog show under the auspices of the Mis- sissippi Valley Kennel Club, to take place at the Jai Alai Building May l, 2, 3 and 4. At a recent meeting of the Board of Governors and the different officials, held at the St. Louis Club, President Harry Hawes officiated. Among those taking an active part in its deliberations were such well-known admirers of high- class dogs as Russel E. Gardner, Julius S. Walsh Jr., Lorenzo E. Anderson, James E. Kenney, Edwin A. Lemp, Samuel C. Davis, August A. Busch, Dinks Parrish, Merritt H. Marshall Jr., Dr. O. E. Foréter, Adolph Winkelmeyer, Marion L. J. Lambert, James P. O'’Nell and Mark Ewing. These officials, in conjunction with the members of the Bench Show Committee, of which Mr. B. Van Blarcom is chairman, have taken a lively interest in the formulation of the plans and purposes to give St. Louis the biggest and the most attractive dog show ever seen in the West. The St. Louis show of last year scored a big hit as a four-point show. This year’s show will be in every way a dupli- cation of it with added entries, a larger premium list in general and special premiums lists of cash, cups and mer- chandise, and with increased induce- ments to local owners to put their dogs in competition not only in the local classes, but in all the classes to which their different breeds are eligible. The motto of the Mississippi Valley Kennel Club an® its energetic officials is to have St. Loup occupy a foremost place in the kingdom of dogdom and to give the public features at their big show of an educational, interesting and enter- taining character. ~ Two more judges have been added to the excellent selection of judges already made by the club, and they will add greatly to the high-class character of the show, in a judiciary capacity at least. Mr. John A. Long, than whom there is-no better qualified judge of col- lies, has been selected to judge these beautiful canines. His name is a tower of strength in the collie world and his services are in active demand by all of the big shows in America. A Judge From Boston. Another judge who will officiate at this year’s show is Iriving C. Ackerman of Boston, who is known wherever the fox terrier is known, from one end of the country to the other. His work at the recent big Boston show was high- ly commended, and he placed the rib- bons with splendid success in the ex- ceptionally large field of entries of this popular breed. Mr. Julius S. Walsh Jr., who is one of St. Louis most enthusiastic horsemen and lovers of fine dogs, in a recent trip to Lexington, Ky., extended an invita- tion to Gen. Roger D. Williams at his old Kentucky home, tin behalf of the Mississippi Valley Kennel Club, to judge bloodhounds, deerhounds and Russian wolfhounds, among other classes. He also told him that the St. Louis show would be a great place to display his magnificent kennel of matchless blood- hounds and give the public an oppor- tunity to get on the trail of the “real thing’ in. sefng these famous speci- mens of dog detectives and hunters of law breakers. Gen. Williams is well known to thousands of people in Bt. Louis and he is one of the foremost cit- izens in every walk of iffe in the Blue- grass State. Mr. Walsh has consented to show his wonderful sheep dog, the finest specimen of the old English type ever bred. This sheep dog occuples the osition of honor in the fine kennel at Mr. Walsh's beautiful suburban home at Pine Lawn, near Norma&ndy, and is a source of great attraction to visitors there. Applications for premium lists and entry blanks for this year’s show are coming in to the office of Secretary Munson in the Columbia Theater Bulld- ing at a rapid rate. The applications They come from all over the country, which of course/ is a splendid indication of the widespread interest and the bright pros- Eooe for a big show, of which not only t. Louls, but the whole jurisdiction of the American Kennel Club may well be proud. When Entries, Close. The entries close April 20. and it is safe to say that the complete list willl embrace a greater diversity of breeds, and more highly aristocratic representa- tives than has ever been nched at a St. Louls show. The sight in the spa- cious Jai Alail Building, with its superb- ly unobstructed facilities for the bench- ing arrangements, will be of an inspiring character and will no doubt form an all- attractive picture. There will be no crowding of the alsies as the spectators pass to and fro to view the show and the dogs, as well, will no doubt express

their admiration for these superior ac- odat 1 be

~~ = York show and met a number of East- ern owners and breeders who stated they would bring their kennels west to show at Bt. Louis. Mr. O'Neill states there were some very fine specimens of the English bull terriers.and the bull- dogs in St. Louis today and he hopes to see a very large local entry at the coming show. Handsome special prizes will be offered for these breeds. Pit Dog Specials. The Clinton Boogher specials for the pit dogs, terriers of a fighting type, is attracting a great deal of local interest, and the class promises to be well filled. Mr. Dinks Parrish will judge this spe- clal class, in which the competition for the substantial prizes offered will be of a& very keen character. The Committee on Special Prizes, of which Mr. James E. Kenney is chair- man, is meeting with splendid success in its work on the list of special prizes for this year’s show. A great many of St. Louis’ enterprising business men, who want to see the show an unqualified success, are giving it their support with contributions of special prizes, and in many other ways. Mr. Kenney states that the interest in this year’s show is deep rooted among the local public, which augurs well, for its success. Mr. John 8. Bratton, the well-known horseman of Hast,St. Louis, who takes as lively interest in the welfare of the dog as he does in the horse, is in cor- respondence with leading citizens of Hot Springs, Ark., where there are some fine kennels of different breeds of dogs, some of which will be seen at the St. Louls show. Mr. Bratton received a let- ter during the past week from Dr. W. E. Parker, who is organizing the Hot Springs Kennel Club, in which he states he will be glad to co-operate with the Mississippi Valley Kennel Club in dog show matters and that Hot Springs own- ers hope to send qa good-siz¢d repre- sentation of fine dogs to St. Louis the week of May l. Mr. Charles A. Pratt of Little Rock, Ark., who sold Messrs. George, Howard and Frank Gould their famous St. Ber- nards which in days gone by have cap- tured blue ribbons galore, will be here for the St. Louis show with some of his famous Boston terriers and other breeds. He is one of the best-known judges of different breeds in the country, and hag a warm spot in his heart forthe St. Louis dog show. BUSY SEASON FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC TRACK ATHLETES A busy season of athletic meets is scheduled for St. Louis this summer, five in all being already booked for the interscholastic track teams alone. Mis- sour! University will also hold its an- nual interscholastic meet at Columbia, Mo., in which the Central High School track team and the best athletes from the other local schools will compete. The annual St. Louts interscholastic league championship meet will be held on May 30. Washington University will hold its second interscholastic league league meet on May 18. Central High School will open its out- door track season with aie dual meet witn Manual T. 8. to be held in the Stadium on April 3. On April 13 the Central High School track team and Washington University freshmen wil] meet in a dual meet in the Stadium. Central High School's annual field day is to be held on April 18. {fforts are being made to bring th track team of St. Louls University and Washington University together for a dual outdoor meet. C.

$10,000 DEPOSIT. FOR GANS-NELSON BOUT IN FRISCH _

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.—If Bat- tling Nelson and Joe Gans meet again for the lightweight championship it is probable that the ring. will be pitched in San Francisco. Today Graney deposited with Crocker Woolworth National Bank in this city a cer...ed check for $10,000 to bind the match. This is the first part of a purse of $35,- 000 and Graney says he will put up the balance as soon as they sign articles. Neither the Nelson or the Gans side of the question has been heard from today, but a meeting is scheduled for Monday, at which fime definite action will be taken if Nolan, for Nelson, and Selig, for Gans, can arrange satisfactory terms for the division of the purse. NELSON ABOUT T0 SHELVE B, NOLAN CHICAGO, March 23.—According to well defined reports in sporting cir- cles today Battling Nelson is about to return to his old manager, Teddy Murphy.

—— T HE greatest modern champion of athletic sports is President Roosevelt. In ancient days lead- ers of men regarded athletics as abso- lutely necessary to a nation. The ath- letic nations of the world were the ones that dominated, and the first to fall away from athletic training were — to fall apart before the attacks oO hardier invaders. The Greeks were the greatest fight- ers in ‘the world as long as they com- pelled every boy to take a course of athletic training in warlike exercises. Later when the Romans overcame the Greeks it was only by abolishing the Greek national games that they were able to stop insurrections and actual- ly subjugate the whole people. The Romans were athletes until wealth and luxury caused them to do their athletic stunts by proxy, hiring mercenaries to do their fighting and trained gladiators to compete in_ the public contests, Caesar, although a small, slight man, was a trained ath- lete. who never refused any hardship that he expected his soldiers to endure. On one occasion he swam a river in full armor to shew his hardihood and fear- lessness. For many years national leaders have ignored the value of general physical training. It has remained for Presi- dent Roosevelt to champion the cause of sport, not for the benefit of those

who can become champions in any ca- pacity, but for the benefit of the whole people. And the President knows what he is talking about. He has always been an athlete himself. He knows, that athletic training gave him the ag- gressiveness and the stamina necessary to the ‘‘strenuous life.” He believes that we should be a pow- erful nation of athletes—not a nation (so he puts it), of “mollycoddles. At Harvard Saturday the President made a speech to the students. si- dent Eliot of Harvard advocates the abolition of all rough, agg 2 games and the promotion of such light and ladylike exercises as lawn tennis and croquet. President Roosevelt, an old Harvard athlete. publicly and energetically championed football and other games requiring courage and endurance. Here are some of the things he said: “we cannot afford to turn out of col- lege men who shrink from physical effort or from a little physical pain. In any republic courage is a prime neces- sity, for the average citizen if he {is to be a good citizen; and he needs physical courage no less than moral courage, the courage that dares as well as the cour- age that endures. the courage that will ficht valliantly alike against the foes of the soul and the foes of the. body. “Athletics are good, esnrecially in their rougher forms, because they tend to de-

DALLAS, Tex., March 23.—The Phila- delphia Americans have practically fin- ished their spring training. They start from Dallas tonight for home, via New Orleans, where they play all next week against the New York National Leaguers. Connie Mack will divide his forces again tomorrow and play jin Dal- lags and Fort Worth. His men are in splendid condition. with the exception of Pitcher Cahill, who has a had arm. The team has had but one day since they arrived in Texas when they could not play, one day at Marlin Wells. Connie Mack said tonight: “I have to rely on. but the old ones. The ena, 3 sters haven't shown anything strong ip their spring work. There are promising men among the bunch, but most of them need about another year of the minors’ seasoning. I shall have to depend on the old heads for the’ success the club makes. I have not determined on who I will keep. Foster looks the likeliest among the youngsters.

velop such courage. They are good also because they encourage a true demo- cratic spirit, for in the athletic field a man must‘be judged not with reference to outside and accidental attributes, but by that combination of bodily vigor and moral quality which go to make up prowess. ‘In a republic like ours, the govern- ing class is composed of the strong men who take the trouble to do the work of government; and if you are too timid or too fastidious or too careless to do your pers to be considered one of the govern- city.

Mississippi in March he is always able to pro- cure help at reasonable figures, and ican work with less help, as he is not {in a hurry. Some farmers have adopted the new way of threshing the grain on the wheat fields, even amidst the snow, but many Berks County farmers are ad- hering to the more primitive methods, the lever power and the old-time flall of rancen het 2 time. hen the Pennsylvania Dutchmen settled this region they threshed all cereals with horses. A span of faith- ful nags were tied together by their halters and driven upon the barn floor and round and round on those old oaken boards until every kernel had been trodden out of the heads. This method has been forgotten by the younger farmers of the country, but there are: many of the grandads living today who used to handle the whip or sit upon the horse when the lat- ter thus faithfully did duty for the farmer. How Fliail Is Used. Next came flails, which are still used on practically every farm in Berks County—not to thresh the entire grain crop, but part of It. Every farmer needs ‘‘tying material’ to harvest the Eb crop. When the seif-binder is used, binder-twine takes the place of the old- time twisted cord of straw, but when it comes to a rye crop harvest, laid flat by heavy rains and storms, the self-binder and the self-rake will be out of commission. and the farmer must fall back on his old-time straw cord. This is reason that rye on farms gets so tall seldom keeps a_ soldier-like attitude, and the farmer harvests it with the old-time dropper machine, or with the cradle. This is what makes it neces- sary at this time of the year to pre- pare large bundles of rye _ straw, threshed by the flail. The farmer thus gets a tying cord, at practically no cost. The work, moreover, is all done at leisure periods by the farmer and the hired man or the older son, who ‘has a Saturday holiday from school. A farmer thrashes about 1000 sheaves of rye in this manner, which gives him the full supply of tying straw needed. Wheat ts seldom thrashed thus, as it is too short in the straw, though small farmers, who do not wish to get a man with a horse power to do the thrashing, occasionally thrash their entire crop with the flail. The flail {is composed of two pleces of wood. One end. a round plece, two and one-half feet in length, is tied with leather to the longer piece, the handle, so as to swing freely, and in thig manner the farmer, with his strong, sinewy arms, swings it upon the floor, beating out all the kernels. . Only a Few Use Engines. Berks County farmers in great num- bers are opposed to the gasoline engine for power, because, they say, they have their horses tied in the stables all win- ter, with practically no work; hence they not only wish to give them exercise, but make them earn their food, and thus a great many farmers thrash all their grain by either horsepower or the lever power. The lever power ts a prominent fea- ture of Berks County farms, and it is a customary sight to see the farmer's wife standing or sitting on the center of the power, cracking her whip and driving the horses around the well-beaten circu- lar path, to grind out cog and shaft power to operate the thrashing machine in the barn. The driver is nearly always the wife or daughter of the farmer, for this task is considered easy, and with the scarcity of laborers this duty falls to the women, even more frequently than in days gone by. Where the horse-tread power ta used the wife or daughter hands the sheaves to the feeder of the machine. The horse-tread power is being rapidly re- placed, owing to the scarelty of horses educated to tread a whole day on planks revolving over a cylinder. platform. Other Berks farmers, who are hastily closing the thrashing season, are those who use gasoline engines and separators for thrashing. This is usually done in the open field, alongside a stack of grain. The straw is left on the fleld. or again put In etacks, while the wheat is hauled to market as it runs into sacks from the separator. no rare occurrence, for the the Berks Dutch and heavy that it

Any man who takes the trouble te figure on the situation must Texas must always remain «a cattle-producing State.

It is ural evolution that acco es growth and development of the o¢ try, and instead of one man o yr eattie, cattle. That will be about the only change. One well-informed cowman was cussing this point only a few days He has been identified with the : country section of Texas for more Tig a quarter of a century, and still , a large ranch, steadfastly resisting temptations to sell. He gave it. opinion that the time was near at when Texas must produce more ¢ than ever before. He said that as the West devele every man who makes his home @ must gather about him a small bung good cattle. Feed crops will céntinue be cultivated and the man who proc feed crops must have stock to a to. Good stock must always conn good prices, and so long as good prevail men will continue good stock. As one man ers will follow the example, lieves the cattle business in just now on the eve of its greatest de- velopment. Another thing that is gol to late the renewed activity o Texas is the general improv conditions. Prices this spring are ly suggestive of the, good old days the boom period, and when prices this stiffening tendency, the man ' has been sitting back and wattle a i the return of prosperity inv pres ceeds to get busy.

VILLAGES OBLITERATED

Exceedingly Heavy Snowfall Makes This ‘Spring Spe- cial Menace. GENEVA, March 23.—The avalanche season has begun and from all parts of Switzerland come tales of death and de- iiruction.

Se —- ——— SPECULATION RIFE OW NEXT OlL FLD ‘“Wildcatters” Taking Leases on Large Tracts in Indian Territory. TULSA, I. .T., March 23.—Oil experts are trying to figure where the next great field in Indian ‘Territory will be found. It is almost a foregone conclus- jon that pools the equal if not greater than the Glenn pool will be opened somewhere between the Glenn pool and Texas line contiguous to the ninety- sixth meridian. Thousands of wildcat leases following the trend of the ninety- sixth meridian from the Glenn pool to Texas are being taken and it is proba- ble the entire distance will be leased within a few months. One peculiar thing about the oil for- mation is while on the main it follows a given trend, yet at intervals it jogs and for many miles follows a circuitous route, which if located at all is a mat- ter of luck. When it leaves the given path it is up to the oil prospector to find its return. It may be ten miles or it may be a hundred. x The wildcat is the one who locates it and his fortune is that of other mining prospectors who cannot restrain the speculative impulse to seek new terri- tory and plunge in hopes of ‘‘making gz0o0d,”’ where a conservative man would hesitate. WAGES LURE IOWA TEACHERS TO OFFICES. School Closed Because Stenog- raphy Pays Better, DES MOINES, Io., March 23.—Polk County teachers are turning stenogra- phers. In three days’ 13 have sent resig- nations to County Superintendent Mrs. Huegle and in nearly all of the cases they have informed her that they were going to the commercial schools to study for office work. Though over twenty scnools are closed for lack of teachers, the boards refuse to accept the inexperienced High School girls who are on the waiting list. Trou- ble over certificates and small wages is at the bottom of the increasing discon- tent of the teachers. IRA N, TERRILL SPEAKS FOR PRISON REFORM. Famous Oklahoma Convict De- nounces Gov. Hoch. TULSA, I. T., March 23.—Ira N. Ter- rill, ex-lawyer, ex-legislator and ex-con- vict, is traveling from town to town in the two territories and in Kansas de- manding investigation of the Kansas prison, of which he was so many years an inmate. In his addresses he con- demns Gov. Hoch of Kansas, Gov. Frantz of Oklahoma and other officials

FLOATERS IK COLD STORAGE WILL SUE KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 23.—An interesting episode of the recent prohibi- tion election has developed through the fact that a nuniber of negroes have sought local attorneys, with a view of filing damage suits for alleged personal injuries received by their being kept in a refrigerator at the brewing plant, in the South pretinct of the Seventh Ward, several hours. Officers at the polls, hearing that negroes were being gath- ered at the plant, with a view of pur- chasing their votes for the ‘‘wet’’ ticket had the place raided. The police were fought back at the door for some time, and meantime the negroes were lokced in the regrigerators. Policemen kept a close guard on the; brewery, and@ it is now claimed that] some of the negroes were kept hidden | for several hours. They emerged later, some with frost-bitten feet, others limp- ing with rheumatism and suffering other inconveniences. Deputy Suftridge asserts that 90 negroes suffered in this way. WHITE GOOSE FOR PET. “Mandy” Hisses Train Caller and Bites Green Hat. Mrs. Martha Warner of Fayette, Mo., bound for Vincennes, Ind., introduced something new in the way of pets at the Union Station Saturday. It is no uncommon sight to see women travelers

carrying canaries, parrots, dogs or cats, but Mrs. Warner’s big white goose, with its head protruding from a very black bag, was regarded as the most novel pet the station attendants had ever seen. Mrs. Warner spent an hour at the sta- tion between trains and guarded her goose with zealous care. She talked

to “Mandy” as if it were a dog or a she was saying. Ben Brown, the train caller, tried to | get on friendly terms with the goose, | but no villain pursuing the heroine of hissed. The goose took such a dislike to the caller that it continued to hiss him every time he called out a train. Dur- | ing the many years he has been looked | upon as the marvel of the vocal world by travelers at the Union Station, he cannot remember that man, animal or fowl ever before had the temerity to hiss him. ‘ Mrs. Warner sat down on a waiting room seat, and a sister traveler wear- ing a green hat had a large slice of brim bitten out of it by the goose. The women nearly came to blows over the episode, and after that Mrs. Warner had all the room she needed. Parents Are Locked Up.

ANNIE O The World's Greatest Lady Rifle Shot uses and recommends EWBRO’S HERPICIDE THE ORIGINAL REMEDY THAT KILLS THE DANDRUFF GERM

“Travelling as I do continuously, I have been troubled a great deal with dandruff and falling hair, and until l tried Herpicide I never found a remedy that was satisfactory. Herpicide is a delightful preparation that fulfills the claims made for it, and no lady’s toilet is complete without it. I highly recommend it to my friends.” (Signed) ANNIE OAKLEY.

It is certainy significant that Miss Oakley, the celebrated rifle shot and theatrical star, who has travelled so extensively abroad, should choose Newbro’s Herpicide as the most efficacious toilet remedy for the scalp. No one will doubt her opportunity to choose the best and those who have seen the natty and winsome Miss Oakley, will not doubt her power of discrimination in matters of this sort Newbro’s Herpicide is a scientific germicide and prophylactic for the hair and scalp, it de- stroys the germ or microbe that causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, after which the hair will grow as nature intended, except in cases of incurable baldness. Extraordinary results sometimes follow the continued use of Newbrce’s Herpicide. If your hair is dull, brittle or lusterless, don’t wait until it begins to fall, but save and beau- tify it with Newbro’s Herpicide. In addition to its wonderful medicinal qualities, Newbro’s Her- picide is the daintiest and most delightfully refreshing hair dressing available. The first appli- cation proves its goodness. Try it. Herpicide contains no grease, it will not stain or dye, STOPS ITCHING OF THE SCALP INSTANTLY

TURNER JR. _ UTOMOBILE owners in St. Louis are looking apprehensively , : - forward to what the year of 1907 will develop in models of touring cars, limousines, runabouts and all the other various ~ a ° types of the modern ‘‘horseless carriage.’’ A searcity of all improved types is the earliest season result. Owners of 1904, 1905 and 1906 models, anxious to exchgnge these already antiquated designs, are gazing just now into a kaleidoscope of models in- which the colors are everchanging, but on all of which the ‘‘sold’’ tag is 3 prominent. Agents of the high-class cars are finding it diffieult to fill : GEORGE STovez, CHAMPION BATTEF OF LHE, LYORLD. all the exchange orders with- out considering the new ones which threaten to swamp them before the season is a month — All the United States, represented tm St. Louis, are bound by orders for more than their season’s output and the man who now contemplates the purchase of a new car is much like the little boy crying for the moon. Approximately there afe — 1600 autombiles of every type. in daily use in St. Louis. While — this number is comparatively re smaller than that of other lead+ — ing cities of the country, theré has always been a tendency ~ here to purchase the higher priced cars, and St. Louls Owme: ers have a greater amount of money invested than the sam@ number of owners in other - eities.

trotting there is to be no end. There will be polo at the Coun- try Club and at the Paddle si and Saddle Club and there will be rowing and canoeing and swimming and even some motor boating. | In all probability we are to have the richest swimneing event

mere ee ee eee the world has ever known. Russell E. Gardner has already of- fered a thousand dollars for a prize for a 10-mile race down the Mississippi, and some days ago he told me that he would make it ten thousand if necessary to attract the best swimmers in ngs success and it remains to be seen America or Europe. Of automobiling little need be said here, for Mr. Turner has taken up that delightful, healthy pastime elsewhere on this page. One has only to look about on the streets to see the growth of motoring. : The national bowling tournament here has increased the al- ready large list of followers of that game in St. Louis. it is a winter sport, the playing will last, on many through the hot months. Of track meets we are to have many. The Missouri Athletic Club, the Central High School, Washington Wniversity, St. Louis University, the Y. M. C. A., Smith A ‘ademy, the Christian Broth- ers’ College and the Manual Training Schoo! all have teams hard at = now fitting runners and field-event men for the campaign. : nterest in w 4 > y 1e : ‘ , "ge erican title (sp ede Rebar after a long sleep and & heavyweight championship match between Frank Gotch, Am Soong ee Jes Oleson, the local man, is a PossPility of the near future. ur boxing there will be a plenty at the several oreanirat:.... ¢...+..: at sport ; re wi > j Ww] and wate lo | ganizations fostering that sport and there will be indoor swim- apie, * . r polo long after the season for those events are supposed to close e roller skating rinks will be kept busy without exception and one + anne ave heing pi : e ine the summer.

Kress, Miss Irene Lemp, Mrs. T. J. Franks, Mrs. M. Ledora, Mrs. Hudson E. Bridge, Frank D. Hirschberg. | All of the leading makes of automobiles are represented by agents in St. Louis. and the leading types of cars represented are the Matheson, Pope-Toledo, pile, Bagnell, Capen, Colonial, Pierce, Mercedes (a French car and the only foreign car having an agent in St. Louis), Dorris, Norate ern, Moon,\Myronda, Neustadt, National, Reyburn, Monarch, Knox, Welch, Pope-Hartford, Winton, Packard, Peerless, Haym Aperson, Duryea, Orient, Mitchell, Darracq, Serpollet, Franklin, White, Edison, Buiex, Autoear, Columbia, Lozier, Thomas af many others. There is not a car of prominence in this country that cannot. be found on the lista of local dealers. > chased here than anywhere ~ else. eed The highest-powered automobile in St. Louis is a 90-horsepower Pope-Toledo car owned. hv Edward F. Goltra. This is a magnificent machine and is far in advance of the St. Louis’ andard in purchasing. | Adolphus Busch owns the greatest number of pieasure : Iie has three Mercedes and fotir Pope-Tole« cars and also the greatest number : bs io cars and will probably add one or two 1907 models to this group. The business vehiele hardly obtains in this column, but. the chance to show what St. Louis may expect in shop and factory transportation in the next. of business vehicles. few years is too good to let get away without some notice. The Anheuser-Busch Brewing 0. now has 53 truck autos and 15 more are ordered for this year. Other business houses have nlaced large orders for heavy auto trucks, and it is predicted that within the next five years more than one-third of the local transportation will be by mode of gasoline and electric powet 1). R. Calhoun is seeond with his two Packards, a Royal and a Columbia. G. EH. Watker has a Pope-Toledo and Pierce Limousine. Mayor Wells ha two Pierce cars. There are many owners who have two cars and the majority of these have’ ders placed with various agents | for 1907 models. Reb The eleetme ear has found a niche in the heart of St. Louis women. It is preferred: for several good reasons. The eleetrie vehicle is the cleanest type of automobile, there ren ¢ no oil, gasoline, and consequently no odor or dirty bearings to soil the finest gowfis. in an electric machine does not require cranking and is almost noiseless. Women owners re 3 she a purchasing electries to the total exelusion of other types. Er The following prominent St. Louis women own automobiles: Mrs. W. G, Yates of th Buckingham Hotel, Mrs. Henry $8. Turner, 4516 Maryland; Mrs. W. H. Baker, Miss Eile H. Lionberger, Mrs. W. C. Morris, Mrs. Robert McKittrick Jones, Mrs. J. E. Franklin, There are 39 agents in the Mound “ig he Pope-Waverly, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Locomobig, There are but few foreign cars in St. Louis. The owners of these high-priced “bubbles’’ are limited to a seant eight, & list is as follows: Adolphus Busch, a Mercedes; James O’Neil, Panhard; Edward A. Moore, F. L A. T. (an Italian & ype, im being only two in the city) ; Clay Pierce, Darraeq; Daniel Nugent,, Renault; Dwight Davia, Mercedes; Edward Mathnekre Mercedes; James Campbell, Mercedes; Max Tamm, Panhard: All of these cars cost over $8500 each and the 60-hor Mercedes belonging to James Campbell came at the fancy figure of $18,000. capt ie 4

He was a great baliplayer and @ great manager, but, best of all, he was @ great man. He was literally a king among What a physique was his! Such that it was sure to attract the attention of the passerby. No balltosser was ever better dressed, and he set an example for his men that was not lost, for no ball club was ever better attired than Anson always insist- men, and woe betide any of his players Who swerved from the proper standard. , The reputation that Anson enjoyed se- | to hotels which cured for him entree were closed to the others. His club was the only one that was allowed within the portals of that fine hostelry--the Ar- lington, In Washington. In New York it was the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in Bos- ton the Vendome—-the best was none too g00d for him, and so it was in the mat- ter of transportation. He never stinted his men-—he always traveld on the best roads and in the most expensive manner. He always be- Heved that the best was the cheapest, and that there was no better advertise- ment for a first-class club than to main- tain the highest standard in everythiny connected with it. Anson Was so We: known that the entree to almost every theater on the circuit was extended him |

His ability with the cue ts well knewn, and in almost every city he was put up at clubs and invited to some of the finest residences to give an exhibitionn of his skill. He was a great shot and few oould beat him in this respect, and he was ready te try conclusions with anybody who came along. As a handball player he was one of the best. He alse ex- celled at bowling. I guess the Chicago club was the enly one that had four uniforms in use during the season—two for the road and two for home use, so) that there was no excuse at ali for a player not appearing in neat attire. Anson should naire been the centrol- ling spirit in the Chicago club, and would: to hit at the ball

A Great Batsaman. They can talk about batsmen all they please, but it is my epinion that Anson was tbe greatest batsman that ever handled a bat. He generally took two strikes before he offered at the ball.

ONE LIKE ANSON--THAT’S THE TRUTH be remembered that he was net «6 speedy runner, and was thrown out many a@ time en balis that a fairly speedy runner would have beaten. No man ever had a better wife than Ansen had in Mrs. Anson. She ac- com led him on the teur around the world in 1888. She was a keen student of the game, was well matters connected with the club, and Anson depended upon her very largely for advice. She could give him a good game, too, with the cue, and doubtless one of the happiest in her life was when she defeated him in a game lowed her.. An pleased as she was ever ance! Anson was called “Baby,” fe Ge title never fitted him @ Wee stool ways was se called because of his that the umpire should give him what was coming to him.

But for that the National Leaguers might have done better than win only one game of the seven, Just by the way, won't {t seem strange to see the only pitcher who turned the trick on the Browns in a back-stopper’s uniform this year. Arthur Hoeleketter was the only pitcher who won a game in the series last spring for the Cardinals, and after an evolution by way of the outfield and infield, he has finally ar- rived on the bridge of the baseball ship. It is fondly hoped that he will prove as strong a card in his latest position. The Cardinals lost the firet Sunday game to the Browns last year. Pitcher Thellman was hammered all over the lot and he never did recover from the awful drubbing. The Cardinals might have won their first Sunday game if~ The vast crowd of some 22.000 spectators wanted to see Hoelsketter perform and yelled for the St. Louis boy, who was ordered to the rubber by Man r McCloskey.

M. C. A. was never heard of tn ath- letics Douglass Johnson, the crack McKinley |High School quarter-miler, will run in _the colors of the Central Y. M. C. A. during the coming season. Johnson ran the other interscholuastic league 440-yards men off their feet in every race tn which he took part last week, with the excep- tion of one at Columbia, Mo., where Strat Morton, the Central High School runner, finished in front of him. Johnson is sure to win many points for the Central Y. M. C. A. in open com- petition during the comin summer. Archie Loud of McKinley High School, champion interscholastic league sprinter last year, and credited with being 10s. man by a great many g00d athiletic critics, will also represent the Y. M. C. A.

BY JOHN J. O'CONNOR. Interest in sports and pastimes fre- quiring training and development of the physical powers, baseball, sprinting, boxing, jumping, swimming and all other games, is the solution of the greatest pyoblem that confronts this country today—the ‘american boy, his physical, moral and mental betterment, When I have uttered this truism, I have voiced in a nutshell the whole pur- pose of the Western Amateur Athletic Union. The W. A. A. U. is an organi- zation perfected by the exponents of all

der its influence a grand opportunity to grading environments, the eplorable result of the strenuous pace w set in this country and because of which the larger majority of the adult population does not stop to consider the boy until he has arrived at that stage where his usefulness is necessary to keep the big machine of commercialism moving. With this maforityv, the training riod is forgotten, and here is where the W. A. A. 4). steps into this period of youth, when his mind may be directed into healthful channels by creating in him a spirit of conquest in the games be- fore the public today. Union's Intention. In citing the purposes of the W. A. Uv. I have a question to ask tn the of men who have made their mark In the athletic world, in baseball, pugi- liam, or any of the other representa- tive aports of the country, and in comparing it with the list of crimi!- |nale incarcerated In our institutions, what percentage of athletes do you suppose will be found with criminal recorda? It will be very emall indeed. This one great tribute can be pald to the sporting classes. The man who goes in for any form of athletics sel- dom develops criminal tendencies. He hasn’t the time. He has always taken pride tn his physical powers and the man who does that tean't going very far wrong morally whatever his men- tal qualities may be. Considered from a acientifie viewpoint, athletics ts the answer to the question. “What shall we do to develop the best there is tn our boys and girls of today, who will be the men and women of tomorrow?" association is to

iu re Invsion of Europe by American Cars Marks New > ~. a Era in Automobile Manufacture. EVERAL St. Leuis auto enthusi- asts are preparing to enter the American Gold Cup contest that is being promoted by the American au- tomobile manufacturers The plans have been definitely decided upon and the outlook for the tour is very br.ght. It is the Intention of the promoters of the tour to give the foreign couwmnir.es an opportunity of ins; ecting the Ameri- can product, and als» demonstrate the practicability of the Amer.can-made car for European roads. George Dupuy of the New York Mo- tor Club, and formerly a well-known automobile authority in France, is the promoter of the run, and is enthusiastic the outcome of the project. Not only will the foreign automobile pubtic have an opportunity of learning of t..e many fine qualities of the autos built on this side of the Atlantic, but the run will be of great benefit to the man- ufacturers who enter cars. That the project meets with the proval of the American builders is monstrated by the fact that on the va- committees are many of the fore- the industry and all pledged themselves to do everything in their power to make the contest a great sue- over “up- de- rious most men in automobile country, have ‘ C@SE., f | make the tour pleasure af- The an easy. fair and a promoters aim to merry, instructive, ‘traveling exhibition’ of the i\Amer can automobile industry, and man- } | itourists to “*5i's I durance ‘cloeed parks or garages. ithe itinerary of ibe announced Bure | jana -comobile ; bile ‘or om regular entr | | ufaeturers and individual owners wl) ‘understand that in view of allowirg t're every mile of the trip any question of tie speed per hour, or any other rules relating to economy or en- tests, with observers, checkers, enjoy there should not be AaAVeTAaARe minute Hiavre but will no entr.e¢s will start from the journey after the The run until May 1. committee in c Regge of the rua rules are as follows: Touring Committee. kK as. esetvetias 4 the EF.

oe The coming season means much to that organization of outdoor sportsmen, the Paddle and Saddle Club, the exist- ence and location of which is familiar to most St. Loulisans. In less than a year the members of this worthy suburban club have welded themselves into a fra- ternal, hospitable athletic organization, whose executive board has placed it upon 4 firm financial] basis. There was a time, and not very long ago, when four young men would board the train at Union Station on a Saturday afternoon to get away from the busy bustle of city life. They would arrive at Valley Park, engage all the mounts, which the livery stable there could af- ford, and ‘cross country through some of nature’s proudest scenery, would ride until a certain farmhouse was reached. In time this spot became famous for its country dinners, for others were invited to accompany these primeval explorers. The spirit was becoming so manifest that each Saturday would find the stable short of mounts. There was a boat- house with canoes for hire, so the over- flow would hie themselves to the river and spend the holiday upon the rippling waters of the Meramec. These young men saw the need of such aclub. They were quick to see and _ far-sighted enough to know that it would prosper. So it was that the Paddle and Saddle Club was organized. And a happy com- bination of riders and canoeists it is. No more do these tired young men have to resort to the chance of renting a canoe at the public boathouse or en- gaging a saddle horse from the livery ‘stable. The club has its own canoe house, where are now stored some 75 CALL OF THE WILD: CANOES canoes during the winter months. Right opposite the clubhouse and across the country .road are located the _ stables, which hold 35 ponies. It may have been that restless call ‘the wild which sent these young men to found such a club, or maybe it real love of life that prompted it. any rate, the organization proudly boasts. of a hundred members, who possess that rich red blood in their veins, which goes to make up your specimens of the typical American man. Boys with brave hearts and strong sinewy muscles, need no better place on earth to nourish and further develop these faculties than the Paddle & Sad- dle Club offers. It is an oasis in the desert of city life. And no more enthus- ilastic boosters of the million population can be found in the Million Club’s roster than these same members. The Executive Staff. The following board of governors, picked from the club’s membership, are representative of any successful under- taking. They are: William ™ . ‘Sie Os, i Fae Be a .

These gentlemen nre all actively engaged in the game and have its best’ interests at heart, conse- quently they will put into the organiza- tion of the league all the necessary en- thusiasm. a result of the organfzation = of league, teain competitions are te play a most prominent part tournaments to be held in this city this season. Team competitions in the city and State association tourna- ments promise mueh of interest. Par- ticular effort will be made_in this di- rection in ethe State tournament. Latst year there were but four ont-of-town entries in the championship tourney of the Missouri State (aolt \Vssochlation, these being all from the Tlannibal Coun try Club This vear every golf and country club in the State will be asked send representatives to compete in individual championships and teams appear in the club team champion- ships. To this end and to foster the vame throughout the State, it is like- ly that besides the handsome trophy cup which will be offered to the team win- ning the State championship, another trophy, equallY as handsome, will be offered to the team not representing a St. Louis club. which makes the. best score It is expected to have a large number of entries on this account. Elad the Kansas City Country Club had a single entry in the State tournament last vear, that club would have’ been awarded the State tournament this year without a dissenting vote, but it is still likely that Kansas City will get it if any disposition is shown by the golfers of that city to ask for the honor. The St. Louis golfers and golf clubs have no de- sire to save expenses or to hog all the honors and ure only too willing to side- step and allow Kansas City, Hannibal, Springtield, Sedalia or any of the other cities of the State possessing golf clubs to entertain the State tournament, if the

Charley Tur ner, James Arnott, Douglas Bradley and Harry Bergs will all make suit- able candidates for a second team. Not the least picturesque individual’ who forms a part of the setting at ' Paddle and Saddle Club is George ker, a déscendant of a famous family of Mexican warriors. Hoker was for.five years a scout in the (‘nited States Army, and saw some hot service when our generals were quelling the Indians in the Southern part of Arizona. So familiar was he With that part of the country and the tactics used by the Indians, that his knowledge led to the capture of many a painted and feathered war- rior. After, that ‘he joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West: Show and traveled with that. organization for eight years. He has traveled over all parts of the world, and can ride the worst bucking broncho that was ever Strapped into ieather. Hoker has charge of the club’s stables, and has been divulging to the ambitious ones, the seqrets of “broncho busting.” So on May 30 there will be one grand field day of sports on _ horseback, which will include relay races, over the hurdles, eggz-and-spoon races, peg- sticking, necktie races and broncho busting by the members. The exhibi- tion will close with a burlesqued

interests of the game are advanced thereby. Should Kansas City fail to make an effort, Glen Echo Country Club or St. Louis Country Club.” will be awarded the championship. ‘New Blood” in Golf. The most flattering indication of the improvement of local golfers was shown last yvear in the State championship tournament, when the old contingent, wiio have monopolized the local honors for years, failed to ecarry away the State title and hardly figured in the tourniment at all. The St. Louis Coun try Club galaxy .of stars, Stuart and Arthur, Stickney, Ralph McKittrick, ©. W. Scudder, A. B. Lambert and others, surprised their many admirers by failing to get into the semi-finals or § finals. Lambert was retired from the cham- pionship by Edgar M. Davis of Glen eho. an admirable golfer under ordin ary circumstances, but one who had failed to show good form in champion- ship tournaments hitherto. 3ut the biggest surprise of the lot was furnished by the entries from the Algonquin Golf Club. Bart § Adams, former city champion, who gave Ned Sawyer a hard battle in the third round of match play in the W. G. A. tournanent, won the State championship for the Algonquin club, while his opponent, the runner-up, was Christian Kenney of the same club. Alfred H. Annan of the same club was the third man in the semi-tinals. Specu- lation is general as to the chances for this condition of affairs to continue this season, The impression seems to pre vail that the former stars willl onee more scintillate at the expense of the new comers. The writer does not agree with this view. Since it has been shown that these volfers are not unbeatable, men of mediocre ability have heen en- couraged and will go into matches with them this season with more heart and will not be so easily discouraged as hitherto. Frank M. Canter make the committee which was appointed fo attend to this matter The city championship Will open this year on the links of the Normandie ¢tolf (hub.

Strange Mania Spreading Through Fashionable World -- All Is Lost, Save the Machine’+The Remarkable Case of Mrs. Tyndale---How IAMONDS take hearts’’ was a truthful old say- ing as regards the con- quest of woman—fair, fickle and exacting—in the days of long ago. But now, ‘tis the automo- bile that captivates femininity to such a degree that they are will- ing to go ‘‘broke’’ to get posses- sion of the modern ‘‘whiz cart.’’ This condition is not unknown among the fair ones of St. Louis, but in Chicago it is notorious. Some Chicago society women make unheard-of sacrifices to be- come owners of autos. What, give up home and all its contents for an automobile? Yes, and even go further than that. It’s a fact. EN of nerve, who won't be M “downed” under the stress of any circumstances contributing to the worrying conditions of agversity, have gone, and will yet go, to’ the ut- termost extremes to recuperate their lost fortunes, or for the mere sake of ap- pearances. But who ever heard of a case where @ man has willingly, nay, eagerly, given up his best clothes, his wife’s or daugh- ter’s piano, the parlor set, the kitchen range, and, in fact, everything under tne family roof, in exchange for or to raise the purchase price of an automobile? No sane man, except one whose gam- bling proclivities are abnormally devel- oped or who little recks the cost of such acts in the long run, will yield up things that are necessary for the or- dinary well-being of himself or family to gratify his passion for mere pleasure. A spendthrift might do a thing so fool- igh, but to the ordinary individual the idea is preposterous, to say the least. The frivolity of certain women is known to push them to extremes which children would not be guilty of, and the instability of the feminine mind results in innumerable freakish acts that rouse the risibilities of unfeeling man. And man is always ready to assert when he hears of some extraordinary act of an eccentric or extravagant woman that he isn't surprised. Women Surrender Homes. But it makes him sit up and take no- tice when it comes to his knowledge that women known to be otherwise rea- sonable will surrender their homes and contents to become the owners of high- Priced automobiles. It's a fact, though, and Chicago has several] cases of rec- ord where this has recently happened. Two women, it is known, faced the Bankruptcy Court in Chicago because they pledged all they had and dodged the claims of their creditors just on ac- eount of gratifying their passion for the delight of owning and riding in autos. Others there are, who went almost the Same length, but were saved from the notoriety of their folly by friends or relatives coming to their rescue. The known instances have afforded a fund of wonderment to practical! Chicagoans and, at the same time, have caused more or less argument, tn public and in the home, as to limits of woman's friv- olity. The average Chicagoan likes trie erit, the winning nerve er the courage of con- sequences, whatever these might be. that a man, woman, or child will show in any kind of an undertaking or sport. T* has been this epirit which has made the Chicago people divided tn sentiment as regards the auto scorchers on whom the authorities are always making war for violating speed ordinances that is the true feeling of fair play from the Chicago viewpoint.

Put, there ts little sympathy wasted with so-called “au'o-crarks.”” and the men or woman who wll take the chances of insolvency just for the sake of plunging Into the de'ight«> of automobiline gets into the erenk class without difficulty, and becorm.s an ob- Jet to be mocked and scoffed at by all.

This case was that of Mrs. Emma S. Tyndale, prominent in Chicago South Side society circles, formerty quite wealthy, who after giving a bill of sale upon her household furniture, pawning her diamonds and other jewels, as well as pledging her costly furs ‘with one of the leading mercantile firms of Chicago, found herself sans furniture, jewels, firs, and (what was heart-breakin~ for her) the automobile, The former so- clety leader’s predicament was revealed during recent litigation before Judge Landis of the United States District Court, in proceedings in bankruptcy, when efforts were on to determine the present ownership of ine turs former's owned by Mra. Tyndale, the bankrupt, but the title to which were disputed by her creditors. It was the disclosures made by sever- al of her; attorneys who also were pres- ent in court in the role of creditors that led the Court to remark (and the same remark was rade ‘n the of the other women) that Mrs. Tyndale clear- ly needed a guardian instead of a whizz eart. The complications which devel- oped in the controversy over the furs, Judge Landis declared, were the worst he had ever known in the administra- tion of the bankruptcy laws. Mrs. Tyndale until a few months ago drew $10,000 a year from her husband, Oharles K. Tyndale, a prominent busi- ness man, before his death. This com- fortable income, which was Mrs. Tyn- Gale's to do with as she pleased, ceased at the death of her husband, he having oniy a life interest in the estate which passed over to other relations after his demise. Mre. Tyndale, however, continued to live and hold her position in society on the same basis as when she was in the @njoyment of the $16,000 per annum The inevitable followed, viz. the neces sity of either selling or mortgaging per- sonal effects of value, when the ready cash account in bank had run down to under three figures. Meantime however, the woman had developed a craze for automobiiing. When she’ had her Income and plenty of friends who readily appealed to her pleasure in that direction, there was no time when she had anv difficulty in gratifying her mania, for the autos of her friends were always at “or dir-oal. case ha one of the fair Bae ee ne Seemination Of her inpome, MRS. ALICE PARKER the willingness of her erstwhile dear friends to favor her grew less and less until it ceased altogether. It was hard for Mrs. Tyndale, for, as with the gamester, the craving for her one great joy in life increased as the facility for gratifying it decreased. For a time she was in a sore dilemma, but the habit of gratifying her whims, ac- quired in her days of prosperity, was de- ready too strong to be shaken off. and sl veloped a resourcefulness to get cash that made her friends gasp She accumulated a number of ing debts soon after her hus»and’s death, and being pushed by the per- sons who had advanced her money she filed a petition in voluntary bankrupicy, seeing "0 other way out of her financial difficulties. The matter dragged along the usual slow way of that character of litigatio: A short time ago her a motion before Judge Landis discharge tn bankruptcy. But jus: an obstacle arose in the person of At- torney A. W. Wise, representing the firm of Charles A. Stevens & BEBros., silk and dress goods merchants, who filed objections to the metion for discharge The claim of the firm, according = to the attorney, was baseri upon several sets of rich furs alleged to have be en owned by Mrs. Tyndale, but which her sister, a Mrs. D. F. Morgan, claimed oa the strength of storage receipts given her as security for money loaned to Mrs. Tyndale. The furs. it appeared, were in the custody of Marshall Field & Co. At this stage of the proceedings Judge Landis became deeply interested in we developments as they unfolded, and he asked Attorney Wise why he objected to the discharge in bankruptcy. THe lawyer stated it was because he be- Heved the woman had some resuures. not previously known, that he oppose: the motion to discharge her aml free her from her obligations to Stevens. The firm he represented had obtained several payments upon account from Mre. Tyndale since the petitiva in bankruptcy had been filed, and she had press- offered ner then attorney ior given the firm a numbcr of promissorv notes. The notes were dated a inenth after the petition was filed, but were not signed until a month laier. This was a complication the Court viewed with much seriousness and it was laid aside for future consideration. This probe of the case, however, was the means of disclosing the matter of the automobile trouble. That phase of the case was then taken up. Charles M. Haft, a lawyer, former at- torney for Mrs. Tyndale, was a witness later in the day. He siated that he had known Mrs. Tyndale and her husband for many years, had acted as atiorney for the merchant for a iong time and after his death was the legal advisor of the widow. He had acted as her per- sonal friead in many matters, and alt- her income ceased, advanced her con- money. er Siderable sums of Gives Mortgage for “Buzz Wagon.” Although she had no income, she was so infatuated with the pleasure and recreation of automobiiing that she had insisted upon buying an automobile. Lawyer Haft advanced the money nec- essary and, as he stated, was given & bill of sale upon her household furni- ture The Court looked up at this. “Do you mean to say that this wom- an, without an {ncome, mortgaged her furniture to get an automobile?’ asked Judge Landis. Lawyer Iiaft repeated his story of the money transaction by which he secured a bill of sale on the Tyndale furniture. “Well, weil,’ ejaculated the Court, in a ruminating tone, at the same time rubbing his chin, “I think the woman needed a guardian instead of a ‘buzz wagon.’ ” \t developed from the testimony of other witnesses that she had piedged her jewels and other valuabies to raise part of the purchase price of the auto she bought. Besides the cash Lawyer Fon Ze ‘ WN \ ww. Haft gave her, he also signed and in- dorsed notes to the amount of $600. And with all the sacrifices she had made, the borrowing of money from her attorney and her friends, the pawning or sale of jewelry, etc., she had, after all, from whom she purchased Tyndale informed the Court that she had returned the machine, but by an agreement made with the firm she had to give up the auto to the dealers, it.

Lawyer Haft told Judge Landis that | he had loaned Mrs. Tyndale about $.0w | in cash, besides going security on the notes for $600. Al] he had to show for this was the bill of sale for the house furnishings, not worth more than one- third the debt. The Court was puzzled as to to do in the case, but finally to refer it back to the Referee in Bankruptcy tor further investigation and report. There the matter rests for the present. A curious feature of the hearing was the statement of Mrs. Tyndale that she was paying Attorney Haft a small rent for the use of her house- hold furnishings upon which she gave him the bill of sale for the money he loaned her.

RR ee Mrs. Parker is qa very shrewd wom- an and in her transaction for an au- ‘omobile she @isplayed remarkable tact. She, like Mrs. Tyndale, is pas- sionately fond of automobiling. It is all she cares for in the way of pleas- ure and recreation. She has a little money, but: could not afford to pay the high fee ex- acted by the auto renting concerns for the hire of a machine every time she felt like having a spin on the Chicago boulevards. Neither did she have the purchase price to get one. But she would not forgo her pleas- ure and she determined to become the owner of an auto. She had a large furnished house, the contents of which consisted of the finest kind of furniture and household goods. Even at forced sale the things were val- uable and Mrs. Parker decided that she would raise the money by means of a mortgage on the household ef- fects. She was wise, either through previous experience or because someone “put her wise to the game,” as the saying is; but she did not go to the lenders who make a business of advancing money on furniture. Instead, she entered into ne- gotiations with an eager money shark, one of that class who are always 80 ready to get business that sometimes ee yea SHRM ‘Ai they overreach themselves. Mrs. Parker's case was one of these. The expert sent by the shark examined the goods offered as surety for the loan and made a favorable report. The wom- an received a check for $2000, quickly converted it into crisp banknotes and in leas than twenty-four hours the machine she coveted was safely housed in her stable, which had been transformed into @ garage. What joy there was in the Parker household. Auto rides every fine after- noon and evening! Over the smooth as- phalt-paved boulevards and the solid roads in the priblic parks the ‘whizz cart” spun and spun and spun hour after hour.

HATEWER the objects actuating those who set “ghost trains” in motion, no sense of second sight is necessary for one to see what a men- ace they are to human life.

Probably the average man who has read the successive reports of “ghost trains’’ being seen at various points in the Southwest within the past few months has halted between pronouncing these dispatches outright “fakes” and receiving them with that incredulity which the public as a whole attaches to the average “ghost story” of any character. But even the most skeptical must have been impressed by the character of evidence presented in support of prac- tically all of these stories.

In the rery nature of things the aggre- gate of the stealings in this manner Was never established accurately. ividence all tended to show, however, that the total may have been much greater than the highest sum named above. ‘Ghost trains,’’ so fdr as could be determined, had been operated ever Sino the road was completed prior tu 187v. The court investigations covered sevy- eral years, and the existence of this underground traffic was only estab- lished about 1880. .Thus the ‘ghost trains’’ were in operation for from fif- teen to twenty years, and all documen- tary and other evidence concerning their frequency and earnings was destroyed as far as possible. “Ghost Train” Conspiracies. This wus a case where the officials of the 1:oad had conspired to rob the stock- holders by ,‘‘ghost trains.’’ The un- settled condition of the country through which the Northern Pacific ran. the character of schedules maintained on a road where a crew could detect an ap- proaching train for fifty or one hun- dred: miles, the lack of legal restric- tions, absence of newspaper publicity which would attach to the appearance of a mysterious train in a more settled community—all these things made the crime easy to commit and unlikely of detection. It is comparatively easy, also, where the officials of a railroad are in a con- spiracy to rob the stockholders, for certain ones of them in the necessary depurtments to carry on their schemes without proof of them coming generally into the hands of under employes or out- siders. Railroad business {fs necessarily a matter of routine and there is as much red tape about it as about the departments of the National Govern- ment. An operator, station agent or conduc- tor goes exactly by his orders, and things that do not concern him are left strictly alone. One might consider that the presence of an unscheduled train would be a part of the business of the station agent or operator, but the ex- tent of hte business is tno renort tt *

curring disfavor with those who can do him harm. If he is wideawake and has some knowledge of ‘ghost trains” him- self he is extremely likely, out of re- spect for his position, to let the matter pass. In arranging for ‘‘ghost trains’ the higher officials make up their regular schedule in such a manner as to permit of them running without attracting any more attention than fg necessary, and with as little danger of collisions and wrecks as possible by putting them on when the track is comparatively clear. If a “ghost” has no other trains to met and does not have to take siding itself or cause a regular train to go onto the sidetrack it is much less likely to be »me an object of comment. If a wreck occurs in spite of these ar- rangements, the fact that the train orig- inated with the people who are en- gineering the steal makes it also possi- road as a whole and the general offi- cers along with the rest who are being robbed—then the train is held within one division and no questions regarding it are allowed to get past the officials who are dividing the prefits. Too many newspaper and general sto- ries of “ghost” trains appearing on a certain division are likely to eall forth an investigation from general head- quarters, but then it’s all a chance any- how and this is only a part of the game. It was by a conspiracy among officials on one of its Arkansas divisions that a certain railroad running into 8t. Louis was robbed of several hundred thousand dollars in about five years.

On a certain Texas railroad, now a part of a great system which reaches from St. Louls to the Mexican border, ‘ehost’ trains were regularly operated for many years during the height of the cattle season.

In one cape & passenger train of which higher officials denied the existence, which was mot on the schedule and which was afterward heralded as a “‘ghest,” stopped at a Kansas station. Bome of the “ghost” passengers went tute the luncheon and partook of rail- roa4 coffee, doughnuts and pie in a manner that would do a gross injustice to the digestive apparatus of any well- balanced chost. But tn the face of all this, train dis- patchers, division superintendents and traffio managers generally asserted that no train had passed, that the passen- gers did not alight and left the inference that the lunchroom ha: alled to keep a proper schedule on its pies and dough- nuts. But In the face of all denials by “the men higher up” in railroad cir- cles it is known that these ere not “ghost trains” in the sense that they are the products of thin air and the overheated imagination of witnesses. On the contrary, they are actual trains, And usually long and heavily loaded ones. They are “ghosts” only in the re- spect that they are not on the sched- ule and that their appearance cannot be accounted for by the _ station agents, operators, switchmen, section men and other minor railroad em- ployes whom they pass, or by the crews of regular trains or the loungers and spectators at the way- side stations. ’ Speculation by these men as to the origin of the mysterious train soon reaches the newspaper-reading public in the form of an apparently well- authenticated “ghost train” story, and is discussed and retold and investi- gated and verified so far as the ap- parently supernatural phases gO. Then, without being pursued to its real source, the matter is dropped un- til another “apparition” appears to revive public interest and receive add- ed weight from cumulation. Appear in New Countries. This is not a mere theory, but a fact well known to any railroad man of long experience who has not had his sight completely clouded by routine and red tape, and brought out by legal investigations and chronicled itn court records. That it is going on constantly today in the Southwest is asserted by men who have other knowledge than isolated instances of “ghost trains’ seen along the routes. The fact that they are so numerous In the Southwest is due to railroad conditions in a new country. They Are run in older sections, but not so frequently. New countries have al- ways had them to deal with.

and red tape, and brought out by legal investigations and chronicled in court records. That it is going on conatantly today in the Southwest Is asserted by men who have other knowledge than isolated instances of “ghost trains” seen along the routes. The fact that they are so numerous In the Southwest is due to railroad conditions in a new country. They Aare run in older sections, but not g0 frequently. New countries have al- ways had them to deal with. M ost important of the court records whith show the extensive operation of “ rhost trains” is that at Milwaukee whith contains the facts brought out ir tie troublous history of the North- ern Pacific during the days when it was controlled by the “Villard fac- tien,” and while it was in the receiv- erships and reorganizations previous to the Hill regime. “Ghost trains,” theses records show, were operated on n gigantic scale for years on the Northern Pacific, and the resultant loss to the stockholders was placed at from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. In the very nature of things the aggre- gate of the stealings in this manner was never established accurately. Evidence all tended to show, however, that the total may have been much greater than the highest sum named above. ‘Ghost trains,’’ so fdr as could be determined, had been operated ever Bing: the road was completed prior to 187. The court investigations covered sev- eral years, and the existence of this underground traffic was only estab- lished about 1890. Thus the ‘ghost trains’’ were in operation for from fif- teen to twenty years, and all documen- tary and other evidence concerning their frequency and earnings was destroyed as far as possible. “Ghost Train” Conspiracies. This wus a case where the officials of the toad had conspired to rob the stock- holders by , ‘ghost trains.’” The un- settled condition of the country through which the Northern Pacific ran, the character of schedules maintained on a road where a crew could detect an ap- proaching train for fifty or one hun- dred: miles, the lack of legal restric- tions, absence of newspaper publicity which would attach to the appearance of a mysterious train in a more settled community—all these things made the crime easy to commit and unlikely of detection. It is comparatively easy, also, where the officials of a railroad are in a con- spiracy to the stockholders, for certain ones of them in the necessary depurtments to carry on their schemes without proof of them coming generally into the hands of under employes or out- siders. Railroad business ts necessarily a matter of routine and there is as much red tape about it as about the departments of the National Govern- ment. An operator, station agent or conduc- tor goes exactly by his orders, and thing, that do not concern him are left strictly alone. One might consider that the presence of an unscheduled train would be a part of the business of the station agent or operator, but the ex- rob je tn renort tf

If he is wideawake and has some knowledge of “ghost trains’ him- self he is extremely likely, out of re- spect for his position, to let the matter pass. In arranging for ‘‘ghost trains’ the higher officialg make up their regular schedule in such a manner as to permit of them running without attracting any more attention than fy necessary, and with as little danger of collisions and wrecks as possible by putting them on when the track is comparatively clear. If a “ghost” has no other trains to met and does not have to take siding its«lf or cause a regular train to go onto the sidetrack it is much less likely to bes »me an object of comment. If a wreck occurs in spite of these ar- rangements, the fact that the train orig- inated with the people who are en- gineering the steal makes it also possi- road as a whole and the general offi- cers along with the rest who are being robbed—then the train is held within one division and no questions regarding it are allowed to get past the officials who are dividing the prefita. Too many newspaper and general sto- ries of “ghost” trains appearing on a certain division are likely to eall forth an investigation from general head- quarters, but then it’s all a chance any- how and this is only a part of the game. : It was by a conspiracy among officials on one of its Arkansas divisions that a certain railroad running into 8t.

It has now been discovered by a poor fisherman in Arkansas and brought to St. Louis. This pearl, which has been named ‘‘The Light of Morn,’’ is a great drop of pink and white, perfectly round in its upper por- tion, flattened ever so slightly at the base. It weighs 108 grains and is al- most one-third larger than any other pearl approaching perfect ‘shape and color in the world, and twice as big as any other of equal perfection. _ , It has a history almost as ro- mantic as that of the most fa- mous diamonds of the world. Discovered by an Arkansas fish- erman who had not a dollar in the world when he made his great find, it has already been sold three, if not four times, and each time its selling price has advanced by thousands. HO will become the final possessor of this wonderful pearl? Will it be purchased by one of the many millionaires of St. Louis and kept at home? Not likely. St. Louis million- aires, apparently, have not yet reached the stage where their taste runs to pre- mier gems. Will it find its way into the collection of some of the wealthy and beautiful women of New York City who already boast of fortunes similiarly invested? Will it go to Europe to take its place with the “Koh-i-noor,” in the British crown, with the “Orloff,” in the Rus- sian crown, the “‘Florentine’ owned by Austrian royalty? Possibly, for the rulers of Europe are among the highest bidders for such prizes. Will it go to some Prince of India. where pearls are -so highly prized? Probably so, for that has been the fate of the finest Mississippi Valley pearls sold through St. Louis heretofore. Or will it finally deck the brow or adorn the throat of some chorus fav- orite?

& CLARENCE A.WHITE, OF ST. LOUIS, WHO BOUGHT THE PEAR OF BULLARD.

A premier gem or precious stone has a value immensely above the mariet price of others of its kind. It has an individuality which makes it worth whatever a collector of wealth may care to pay for it, and the demand in those channels is such that “The Light of Morn” is certain never to be allowed to rest in obscurity. Figured at a “base” value of $1 this zkem (pearls are classed as gems, although not of mineral composition) is worth $11,556. It has twice sold for less than that amount, once for $3800 and once, the purchaser who bought it for that sum has reason to believe, for as little as $10 to $25. a

gems of the past. =—. Faithfulness of OGS are credited with possessing greater power of attachment than cats, but here is an inter- esting and absolutely true story of a eat’s faithfulness which would be hard to beat. The animal belongs to Mr. and Mra. BE. J. Van Ess of 11 McArthur place, Detroit, and the facts are youched for by Mr. Van Ess. The cat's name is Midge, and the beginning of his unusual career dates from May 15, iss. “On that day,” says Mr. Van Eas, “a lady relative living on Cass avenue looked out of the window and saw two emall kittens about to be trampled under the feet of some horses. She ran out, but only in time to pick up one dead and the other very much injured. The latter subsequently re- covered, but his wounds left him with a peculiar swing walk iike that of a tiger..As @ matter of fact, it was the opinion of the veterinary that exam- ined Midge~as we at once christened him—that some of the bones of the back were fractured. “Well, this lady brought the kitten to our house and gave it to my wife's mother, who lives with us. In June. 188, my wife and her mother went to Gordon, O., and took Midge along, jeav- our other cat, Nig, with whom was great friends, behind. They at their destination in the even- hext morning Midge was the the kitchen to be fed. He 1900, a friend and my- on the back porch Detroit, enjoying our cigars, when we noticed a black climbing the fence into the yard. was thin and rough-looking, and crawled over the fence as though it Was about half dead. I jokingly called out to my wife that Midge had at last returned, and when she ran out and called, ‘Come, Midge’ Midge,’ the cat looked up at her in such a pitiful way and began mewing so plaintively that my curiosity was aroused. “As he grew stronger we ob- serving his every act, and last made up our minds that it was indeed Midge. lie had traveled the whole distance from Gordon to Detroit, a distance of 221 miles, taking one year and 16 days to make the journey. I noticed that he hunts much more now than when we left for Ohfo in 1899, and from this I conclude that on his way back he must have lived almost entirely on what game he could catch. Although Midge is thoroughiy domes- ticated with us, he usually refuses to make friends with strangers. How ever knew the right direction to take or what guided him to this particular *pot where he used to live is more than I ean tell. We have not the slig@htest doubt that he is the same cat, and I think you will agree with the that he has had a wonderful ca- reer,” At @ cat show held tn Madison Square Garden, New York, a couple of years ago, there was on exhibition a 17, seated “On June self were of our house in cat [t kept at he ———— Jurrounds Jis Discovery. That it will not .sell for less than $25.000 once. it gets into the market is the belief of Clarence A. White of 4620 McPherson avenue, St. Louis, who was the St. Louis purchaser of it at something in advance of its grain weight value. And even Mr. White’s estimate of .he possibilities of this great pear! is conservative when one glances back at the history of famous gems. The ‘Orloff’ diamond once served a Hin- doo idol as an eye. A French adven- turer stole it and sold it for $10,000 to an English sea captain. The Englishman sold it to a mer- chant for £60,000, or approximately $300,000, and the latter sold it to Prince Orloff of Russia for $450,000 and an annuity of $20,000. Prince Or- loff gave it to Catherine of Russia to secure his restoration to imperial favor and it finally found its way into the Russian crown. The “Regent” diamond has even more remarkable history. Stolen by a slave who wounded himself and bound the diamond in the wound, the Slave sought to buy passage with it to a free land from a ship captain. The captain threw him overboard and sold the diamond for $5000. It was resold for $120,000 to Sir Thomas Pitt, and by him to the Duke of Orleans for $675,000. It was at one time pledged by Napoleon to the Dutch Government for a loan of $2,500,000. Thus can be seen the manner in which the value of splendid gems " ve : anes LO Ee ee a —~—- ee oem os

In comparing it with the famous dia- monds mentioned above it should be borne in mind that while both of those are of extraordinary purity and size, they are by no means tne largest diamonds in the world. The Arkansas pearl, on the other hand, hoids that unique position in its class. That adds enormously to the value of “Th: Light of Morn.” Connossieurs and collectors consider this in collecting gems, «nd It brings a competition that must be met by whoever desires te own the pearl. While this is a fresh-water pearl It should be understood that Mr. Wh.te, who is probably the best authority on the subject in the West, says It is the largest round pearl in the world—which includes both Oriental and fresh-water pearls a gems The next largest fresh-water pearl known was found a number cf years ago in the waters of Caney Fork Creek, in Tennessee.

The “Caney” is described as a sKy- blue pearl. This would make it an in- teresting freak, but hurts its value. Quite a number of fresh-water pearls are in existence that are worth more than the “Caney,” although much smaller, but none either as large or as valuable as “The Light of Morn.” It would be hard to find a more per- fectly colored pearl than this biggest known. It is pure white and has the peculiar luster that goes with no other gem. Its “skin” is without flaw or speck, and turned tn certain lights it seems semi-transparent. After its enormous size, its along with its quality and coloring. what makes it valuable above all other pearls. It is almost round except for the slight flattening at the bottom, and that would almost seem to have been designed by nature to make its setting easier. This perfect shape is, after all, what puts ““The Light of Morn” at the head of the pearl world. There are at least three others of great value that exceed it in weight, but these are imperfect This is shown by the one so highly valued by the Shah of Persia, which measures fully one-third of an inch greater in one direction than another.

Clarence A. White bought “The Light of Morn" from A. Bullard of Newport, Ark. Mr. Bullard paid $3800 for the gem, . The peculiarities of the Arkansas pearl fishermen promise to leave the exact history of this wonder of gems clothed in as much mystery as that which surrounds some of the noted diamonds, Mr. Bullard is willing te talk his own connection with the pearl, and to tell what it originally cost him. But as to how man from whom he purchased it into possession of the gem he ts silent. There are many ways by which pearls are obtained tn Arkansas. Mr. Bullard intimates his belief that this one was not found but purchased by the man from whom he secured it and that his customer’s investment was not over $25, possibly as little a« $19. Like the miners of the West, the pearl hunters believe in letting each man talk about his own business. Too much talk- ing about somebody else’s affairs might get them into trouble.

The dis- tance is actually a little short of 120) miles, so Count de la Vaulx won the record from St. Louis by less than fifty miles. Hlad either Wise or Count de la Vaulx ajied from: St. Louis on their record- jdaking trips in any of several directions that taken by Wise, the re- Suit wuvuld probably have been differ- ent. Had they gone due east—the pre- vailing direction of the upper air cur- rents over 8t. Louis—they would have landed °400 miles out in the Atlantic (cocan off the cost of North Carolina. Going south, they would have alighted in the tropical wilderness of Yucatan A proper course to the Southwest would have carried them within 50 to 100 miles of the City of Mexico. Had Wise floated west from St. Lous, his trip would have been shortened by striking the Rocky Mountains. All along the last few hundred miles of his voyage Wise's ha!loon hovered close to the earth, striking trees and dipping int» Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. He could scarcely have escaped being dragged to the ground by some of the high peaks of the Rockies. Count de la Vaulx’s balloon rode high- er and might have crossed the tmvoun- tains in a westerly course from 5Bt. Louls. Had either of them crossed the Rockies they would have landed in Utah, probably in the desert. Steered to the Southeast, these balloons would have fallen into the Straits of Florida, between Florida and Cuba, or might have fetched up on some of the small islands of tne Bahamas.

1. The longest balloon voyage known in the world up to 1900 was by John Wise, in his balloon, the Atlantic. This started at 6:40 p. m., Friday, July 1, 1859, and landed at Henderson, N. Y., at 2:20 p. m., July 2, having covered 1159 miles. Th>2 balloon contained 60,000 cubic feet of gas and 990 pounds of ballast, Prof. Wise was accompanied by John La Mountain of Troy, N. -Y. ae kilometers, 0 hotres mow ant 110) miles. A similar distance to the North, Northeast, East, Southeast or South from St. Louis would land the voyage! in water was extremely for- tunate—Lake Ontario, the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. During the siege of Paris in 1870 Paul Rolier made a re- markable trip in a postal balloon, land- ing near Liffeld, Norway, a distance of 774 miles. unless he It was unfortunate for Miss Moulton, trip with Count de Saint-Victor. vv. & — &OOOOOe OO coi > D. A. Gager of Bennington, Vt., and William Hyde of St. Louis. 2. Wise made a second short flight from St. Louis in 1878, and the sum- mer following attempted from St. Louis his four hundred and sixty- third and last voyage. This balloon was sunk in Lake Michigan. It started from St. Louis at 4 p. m., Sunday, Sept. 28, 1878, and fell into Lake Michigan the same night, Wise being drowned with a com- panion, George Burr. About fifty experimental sounding balloons were sent up from Wash- ington University, St. Louis, 19M, 199% and 1906, by Prof.

Clayton and Prof. Ss. P. the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory, Read- ville, Mass. Mr. A. IL. Rotch was responsible for these experi- ments. The balloons were 6 feet in diameter and contained instruments for recording temperature, hu- midity and other conditions. The balloons were equipped with para- chutes of conspicuous color, which bore the name and address of the senders, and the offer of a monev reward for the return of them to Blue Hill Observatory brought back almost every balloon sent up. The longer flights were as follows 3. Farrar, Mo. 4. Taylorsville, Ky. 5. Shirley, Ind. 6. Oakland, Ind. 7. Iuka, Miss. This flight was made in two hours, from 2 to 4 p. m. A cold wave was expected at the time from the northwest, and it was thought that this accounted for the southward tendency. This bal- loon rose to a height of six miles, and registered a temperature of 112 degrees below zero, the lowest nat- ural temperature ever recorded. 8, Broughton, II1.; 9, Salem, Ind. 10, Eldred, Il.; 11, Smith Mills, Ky. 12, Folsomville, Ind.; 13, Opdyke, ill.; 14, Alfordsville, Ind.; 16, Palmer, TIll.: 16, New Bellsville, Ind.; 17, Dresden, Ind.; 18, New Castle, Ky.; 19, Elbfeld, Ind.; 20, Mode, Tenn.; 21, Anna, Il.

that she was not entered at that time in the contest in 1996 when Miss Krab- be’s prize under the Aero Club for the longest distance traveleds was given to Mrs. Harbord. In a balloon piloted by Frank But- ler Mrs. Harbord made a distance of 195% miles and won. Her flight was from London to Bridlington, England, and she was in the air about 12 hours, as against the 19-hour trip made by Miss Moulton. Starting from St. Cloud, the Ov OOOOH HHH OOOOH Ee eS same point ‘selected by Miss Moulton, Count de la Vaulx and Paul Tissandier in 18% won the long-distance cup in that year’s contest. Compared to Count de la Vaulx’s record, however, the dis- tance journeyed was short. They alighted at Pretch, on the Elbe, near Wittenberg, after a trip of 20 hours, a distance of 630 miles. Previous to this the cup had been held by M. David, who won it in a voyage of less than miles. Lieut. Lahm won the Bennett SASHSSSSCSHSSSHOSCHOOHOSOHOSO HS D Gordon The Amazing Trips of Count H de fa Vaulx---A Woman's markable Experience. trophy for the United States last year in a voyage shorter than that of M. Da- vid’s by about 8) miles. He started from Paris and landed near Whitby, England, after having been 22% hours in the air, Leslie Bucknall recently ventured into the Alps with his balloon, making 420 miles in 16 hours. Bucknall’s experi- ence may be interesting to the St. Louis contestants, if any of them are carried toward the Rocky Mountains this fall. Likewise, the experiments of Profs. H. H. Clayton and 8. P. Ferguson of the Blue Hill Meterological Observa- tory, Readville, Mass., are of value to the St. Louis Aero Club in arranging for the 1907 races. They sent up about fifty experimental] sounding balloons here while making upper-air investigations. These balloons were six feet in diame- ter, and to each was attached a para- chute of striking color that would quick- ly attract attention. A money reward was offered for the return of these, and most of them were brought back. In these balloons were apparatus for regis- tering altitude, temperature and humid- ity. Of the fifty or more balloons sent up at this time, none went In a westerly direction. They varied from northeast to southeast. The longest flight was to Luka, Miss., a distance of almost 300 miles in direct line. This distance was accomplished in about two hours, or at a speed rate of approximately 150 miles an hour. In addition, it arose to a height of almost six miles, and registered a temperature of 112 degrees below zero, the lowest natural temperature ever recorded. A cold wave from the northwest was expected at the time this balloon was launched, and this is thought to have accounted for the unusual tempera- ture and velocity and for the southward tendency of the course of the balloon. What is known as the “Nassau bal- loon”’ traveled from Vauxhall Gardens to Weilburg, in the Duchy of Nassau, a distance of 30 miles, in 18 hours. This was in 1836, and was at that time her- alded as a remarkable achievement, al- though it has frequently been surpassed since. John Wise, in his last trip—which was the 463d ascension to his credit—sailed something over 300 miles from St. Louis in 1878. when his voyage ended by his death in Lake Michigan. Mr. Balsan journeyed from Vincennes to Opozno, Ruisia, a distance of 835 miles, upon me occasion, Count de la Vaults, 3,000 miles, or circumference. In all he air more than 6 days, people up with him, including . 100 women. He has also the record for the longest consecutive time fn the ase of any one in the world—41 hours minutes, while assisting in oxen! over the Mediterranean. The greatest altitude he has ever attained is four and three-eighths miles, Jean Lepic and Georges Oudet as pas- sengers. They were carried out over the sea b for a time it eesmed alencint Rana pode would be lost. The wind, however, car. ried them back to land. In fiction the most famous balloon voyage recorded is that made by the heroes of Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Is- land.” Five of them and a dog escaped from the war prison, Richmond, 4ac- cording to the Verne story, in a Con- federate captive balloon anchored thete during a terrific storm. They were car- ried far out to sea, and after five days and a distance of 7000 miles were landed on the “‘Mysterious Island,” from which the story takes its name. Many have said that Verne receivéd his inspiration for this story from the trips of John Wise from St. Louls. He locates the time as 1865, In order to have it correspond chronologically to the war period in the United States, and to get the benefit of the great storm which prevailed in this section that year. Mark Twain has also contributed to the literature of ballooning. He has suggested that the way to beat all rec- ords in a trip around the world is rise in a balloon, “anchor” it In the at a given point and then wait until world turns round under it. By so ing the world could be circumnavigated, according to the Mark Twain theory, in 2 hours. For a practical method of anchoring the balloon and other minor details, Mr. Twain leaves the field in charge of @x- perienced balloonists—which presents wn opportunity for the St. Louls Aero Club to get busy. he Strange l'ragedy, of ad Human, WORD swallowers, fire-eaters an S various other freaks are quite familiar to southwestern circus vaudeville goers, but the “human in private life is a de- parture.

Compared to Count de la Vaulx’s record, however, the dis- tance journeyed was short. They alighted at Pretch, on the Elbe, near Wittenberg, after a trip of 20 hours, a distance of 630 miles. Previous to this the cup had been held by M. David, who won it in a voyage of less than AW miles. Lieut.

He started from Paris and landed near Whitby, England, after having been 22% hours in the air, Leslie Bucknall recently ventured into the Alps with his balloon, making 420 miles in 16 hours. Bucknall’s experi- ence may be interesting to the St. Louis contestants, if any of them are carried toward the Rocky Mountains this fall. Likewise, the experiments of Profs. H. H. Clayton and 8. P. Ferguson of the Blue Hill Meterological Observa- tory, Readville, Mass., are of value to the St. Louis Aero Club in arranging for the 1907 races. They sent up about fifty experimental sounding balloons here while making upper-air investigations. These balloons were six feet in diame- ter, and to each was attached a para- chute of striking color that would quick- ly attract attention. A money reward was offered for the return of these, and most of them were brought back. In these balloons were apparatus for regis- tering altitude, temperature and humid- ity. Of the fifty or more balloons sent up at this time, none went in a westerly direction. They varied from northeast to southeast. The longest flight was to Luka, Miss., a distance of almost 300 miles in direct line. This distance was accomplished in about two hours, or at a speed rate of approximately 150 miles an hour. In addition, it arose to a height of almost six miles, and registered a temperature of 112 degrees below zero, the lowest natural temperature ever recorded. A cold wave from the northwest was expected at the time this balloon was launched, and this is thought to have accounted for the unusual tempera- ture and velocity and for the southward tendency of the course of the balloon. What is known as the ‘Nassau bDal- loon’’ traveled from Vauxhall Gardens Count de la Vaulz, who holds the pres- ent world’s recom tor distance. made more than 800 ase pa traveled In the upper « 3.000 miles, or more circumference. In all he air more than 60 days, people up with him, tn 10 women. He has also the record for the longest consecutive time in the air of any one tn the world—41 hours and 5 minutes, while assisting in e to over the Mediterranean. The altitude he haa ever attained is four and three-eighths miles. His most thrilling experience, ag re- counted by Count @e la Vaulx, was when, in 1900, during the Exposition, he left Paris in a gigantic balloon, the Horizon,” in company with MM. Mai- son and Trugan as aides and Baron Jean Lepic and Georges Oudet as pas- sengers. They were carried out over the sea by a hurricane at and for a time it seemed almost ce they would be lost. The wind, however, cars ried them back to land. In fiction the most famous balloon voyage recorded is that made by the heroes of Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Is- land."" Five of them and a dog from the war prison, Richmond, ac- cording to the Verne story, in a Con- federate captive balloon anchored thete | during a terrific storm. They were car- ried far out to sea, and after five days and a distance of 7000 miles were landed on the ‘“‘Mysterious Island,” from which the story takes its name. Many have said that Verne received his inspiration for this story from the trips of John Wise from 8t. Louls. He locates the time as 186, in order to have it correspond chronologically to the war period tn the United States, and to get the benefit of the great storm which prevailed in this section that year. Mark Twain has also contributed to the literature of ballooning. He has to Weilburg, in the Duchy of Nassau, @ suggested that the way to beat all rec- distance of 30 miles, in 18 hours. This was in 1836, and was at that time her- ords in a trip around the world is to rise in a balloon, “anchor” it In the air alded as a remarkable achievement, al- at a given point and then wait until the though it has frequently been surpassed since. John Wise, in his last trip—which was the 463d ascension to his credit—sailed something over 300 miles from St. Louis in 1878, when his voyage ended by his death in Lake Michigan. Mr. Balsan journeyed from Vincennes to Opozno, Ruisia, a distance of 835 miles, upon mie occasion, world turns round under it. By so do-. ing the world could be circumnavigated, according to the Mark Twain theory, in 7” hours. For a practical method of anchoring the balloon and other minor details, Mr. Twain leaves the field in charge of ex- perienced balloonists—which presents an opportunity for the St. Louls Aero Club to get busy.

BARTLEY THROWN INTO THE SEA BY THE WHALE.

AN IMAGINATIVE STORY By REV. JAMES M. PHILPOTT, : Pastor Union Avenue Christian Church, St. Loufs 2 Y ATTEMPTING to read the Book of Jonah as history, we ales the Gy meaning. People have wasted time discussing whether the whale = is could swallow Jonah or Jonah swallow the whale, and thus missed T} the purpose of the book. The Book of Jonah belongs to the time when the | Jewish people were becoming exclusive and bigoted. They thought them- %] selves the only people in whom God was interested. im he i It has been seriously incorpo- rated into one of the most dig- nified and exhaustive works, ‘Hastings’ Dictionary of the Bible,’’ an encyclopedia of sev- eral volumes with the subjects treated by the ablest authori- ties. The article on the Book of Jonah, into which the ‘‘Bartley whale story’’ is quoted, is by Prof. E. G. Konig, a distinguished German authority, who has also written a book on the same sub- ject. The Bartley story is also re- NOTHER hoax has now been exploded and gone to join the Cardiff giant, the sacred white elephant and the Caleveras skull. Only this hoax was designed to appeal not alone to the curious and scien- tific, but most strongly to the religious investigator. This is the famous ‘‘Bartley whale story,’’ in which James Bartley, an English _ sailor, claimed to have been swallowed by a whale and to have survived after staying a day and a night So God raised up a writer who, with a weapon of keen satire, pierced @ this armor of self-complacency. The writer of the book wrote his mes | sage in the form of a story, and its hero was the Prophet Jonah, because + the Jews were always interested in prophets. The writer put his here through all sorts of impossible experiences. At the bottom of the litth #F story is a cutting arraignment of the narrowness, bigotry and the low conception of God’s mercy which the Jewish people at that time held. The real miracle of the story is net in the whale swallowing Jonah, 3 but it is in getting into the mind of the Jews of thut time the large com- “7 ception of God’s mercy which the book sets forth. ‘a. Christ, in referring to Jonah, does not indorse the historicity of the book. He refers to Jonah as a literary character just as we refer to) “Hamlet” or “Macbeth.” God inspires the imagination of men and often teaches moral and religious truth through forma of what we may imaginative stories.

Also this is claimed as a strong point in proof of the allegorical qualities of the story by those holding to that view. Jonah’s action, they say, is again anal- agous to that of Israel, which refused to accept the doctrine of salvation for aliens, even if they repented. H. Clay Trumbull, {in an essay on the subject, speaks of the ancient god of the Assyrians, Dagon, who was @ man- fish divinity, and says this may have actuated Jonah in his pretensions. This Dagon will also be recognized as the “dragon” of mythology. Others say that Jonah may either have taken a popular superstition of that age and clothed it to suit his pur- poses in the form of a parable, and still others that the real story of Jonah was greatly embellished and added to by being handed down through years and possibly’ centuries by word of mouth before it was incorporated in the Bible as one of the prophecies. There is, it is said, considerable doubt as to its right to be there at all. Most interesting are the Jewish ver- sions of the story of Jonah. According to one, the fish was created in the be- ginning of the world for the very pur- pose of finally swallowing Jonah. To that end it grew up and in that manner its. ability to swallow Jonah was made possible. Jonah, according to this view “found it as easy to pass into the fish's stom- ach as he would have found it to enter the doors of a very large synagogue. “the eyes of the fish were Iike and its inside lighted up by Also, windows, lainps.”’ Further search into Jewish comment- aries finds the statement that within the fish was a great pearl which “en- abled Jonah to see all that was in the sea and the abyss.” Jonah, the Jewish “conversed with the fish!” that It was to be “devoured by viathan.” Jonah made an agreement with fish for their mutual protection, version relates, it told him Le- the and ee Se ee eed ' ing necessary for the concrete to dry. “Now. let me tell you how we pro- pose to bulld these concrete houses. First of all an architect will be neces- sary. the same aa in ordinary house- building.

Of course, the molds will not be in one piece, but In detachable parts. These parts will be screwed together and bullt up until the entire framework of the house is formed. Then. when thie work is finished, all we shall have to do wi! be to pump the concrete into this big mold and take a rest or go on with another We shall leave the concrete in the mold for four days tn order that it may be thoroughly dried, and then the parts w . be unscrewed and there before you will stand a house which Would have withstood the bombardment of Alexandria. “What will such a house cost?
