By a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. HELENA, Ark., Aug. 10.—The six-shooter is fairly dividing honors with the pen in the grim fight the Helena World is waging for a cleaner and better municipal government. Z Under arms, with death lurking in ambush, awaiting only a favorable chance to strike, the publishers of the World are carrying on as dramatic a campaign as has ever been known in all the stirring story of the Southwest. It is a campaign with but one end in render, and no compormise: view—victory., There is to be no sur- Already one member of the staff, City Editor Scott, has been shot to death because of the part he has taken in this struggle. : “Close ranks!” was the word passed by the publisher to those remaining; gnd the work went on until the gap could be filled. There was no halt, no revering, Bo sign of anything like retreat. MENACED BY DEATH, KEEPS CALMLY ON. The publisher ‘himself -has once been the victim of a brutal assault for the part be has played, and the threat of death still menaces him. This question was put to him today by a what effect? What will he do? Post-Dispatch correspondent. And with ‘Why? he answered, very quictly, “I shall keep on as I’ve begun. I shall ‘ay in this fight to the last ditch.” And there was no mistaking his abs. ° sincerity. He is a strong man, this young George H. Adams, with that sort of strength which lies mostly below the surface. As he has misled his enemies at Helena, so he would mislead almost any one who tried to “take his measure” at a first meeting. Just turned 31, tall, slender, smooth-shaven, brown-eyed, with an habitual good-humored smile, he looks more like a happy-go-lucky boy than a fighting man. Yet his qualities as a fighter have set the good people of Helena by the ears, and stirred such & commetion as cannot be quieted for a long time—as will not be quieted at all until his program is carried out and Helena is made a clean, honestly governed city. have no half-way measures; he is bent It is not hard to get beneath his smil- ing surface. Modest almost to a fault, he has no mock-modesty about him. He does not hesitate to speak of his work, when the occasion demands it; and he Speaks straight to the point, with no waste words. ATTACK SUGGESTED; “l’M HERE,’’ HE SAYS Digcussing the murder of Scott, the Post-Dispatch correspondent suggested: “Maybe they'll be trying to get you next.”’ “Well, I’m here,"’ he said, with mild unconcern. “Do you go armed?” “Oh, I'm not taking bay @Ghances.”’ { “And can you shoot?’ “I'm a pretty, fair hand at it.” This was all said with a shy, boyish grin of embarrassment. “Then you don’t intend to quit?’’ was the next question. In @ flash the easy smile died away, and the spirit of the fighter shone in the brown eyes. His chin had a bull- @oggish forward thrust. ; “Quit?” he echoed. ‘‘No!"”” That was all. Just two words, but these two short words were more convincing than @ long argument. WON HIS FIRST FIGHT _ ON PINE BLUFF RING He is no stranger to this sort of war- fare. He came to Helena from Pine Bluff last February. Besides his work here on the World, he is now pub'ishing the Pine Bluff Graphic, which has given him his newspaper training and experi- ence. With his Graphic he has just finished—and wdén—a determined ‘good government” campaign against a strongly entrenched political ring, replacing the old order with a clean, _ business-like administration. The Pine Bluff victory came foolish only

Appearances will not satisfy him; he will upon getting a permanent reality. after 12 ii was man a motives results.”’ not a tice. So well-trhined was he that his suc- cess at Helena was won in less than five months from the day of his ar- rival. The greater part of this time was spent in gathering his ammunition: then, when he fired his first broadside of damning facts, the system which had thrived for a quarter century was over- thrown within twenty-four hours. His concern now is to make the destruction complete and to insure a lasting effect of what he has wrought in his first short, sharp encounter. years of persistent effort. But excellent discipline, tine the clear understanding of human and a right idea of how to ‘‘get Running a newspaper is now ry with him, but a prac- ™ Ss DIDN’T URGE REFORM; JUST TOLD THE FACTS His method? He has made no threats, no high-strung. plea ‘for “reform’’—not a line or a word. From first to last the World contented itself with a bare, blunt chronicle of facts and figures— matters about which there was no pos- sibility of dispute. The paper made no argument of its own; it left the people to draw conclusions for themselves. This they did with a force and directness rarely if ever equaled. The “exposure” issue of the World was on the street at 8 o'clock on the afternoon of June 11, and by midnight the city of Helena had a new government. Though they acted so promptly, the people were fairly dazed by the revela- tions; and this state of mind has not yet passed. The deposed Chief of Police, Clancy, had dominated the department for 2% years. His’ “organization,” with its absolute control of police affairs and finances, had thrived because no one had paid any attention to these matters.

The citizens were too busy; nobody had

ever cared or tried to turn inquisitive over these points. nd Now that the exposure has come, with its aftermath of ‘‘reform,’’ with violence and murder. the people’s greatest desire is to keep the matter wholly to them- selves and to work out their own salva- tion with the least possible publicity. Helena is a town of the old South; her foremost people are Southerners ef the old school They feel and say that their own fair name is at stake; and so they plead for siience. PEOPLE OF, HELENA ARE SUPPORTING HIM Since the murder of Scott the local telegraph offices have been asked, by officials and by citizens, to withhold press dispatches which would carry the news to «he outer world. None of the officials and but few of the people will aid a newspaper inquiry. “‘It is our own affair,’”’ they say. Rat Yet with this singular feeling, nine out of ten of the citizens of Helena stand in support of the World’s attitude and work. To walk the streets with Adams is to be quite sure of the regard the people have for him. They are his friends, and they will stand by him to the last. Adams’ staff has been loyal to the ut- termost throughout his campaign. It was this loyalty, coupled with Scott’s own daredevil courage, that cost City Editor Scott his life Aug. 4. From the time of the exposure and the overthrow of the old police depart- ment, Scott had shared with Adams in the enmity of the deposed officials. On the day of the publication cf the first “story,” both were assaulted and beaten on the streets. SCOTT’S COURAGE LED HIM INTO DEATH TRAP “We were courting no fights,” says Adams. “That was not a part of our plan. I cautioned my men to avoid carefully everything of that sort —to keep off the strcets at night except when they were on duty, and to take no chances. Scott’s death came be- cause he didn’t heed that caution. He didn’t know what it meant to be cau- tious.”’ The facts as they have developed bear out this statement. On the night of the murder, as the story is now told, Scott was called by telephone to one of the notorious resorts of the town, to discuss with its keepers a rumor that the World would soon begin an attack upon these places. He went without question. There he was killed—shot through the neck and head. The man now under arrest for the erime, Ben Carruth, a former police- man, had shown strong hatred for Scott, attempting on several occasions to pro- voke a fight. He was in the “dive” dis- trict on this night; it was he who re- ported the finding of the body; and there is other strong circumstantial evidence tending to connect him with the murder. Scott was alive when his body was found, between 2:30 and 8 o’clock Sun- day morning. He was put upon a wheeled truck and taken to the World office. Under the care of surgeons, ne lived for 12 hours, without regaining consciousness. He died on Sunday af- ternoon, lying beside the. desk where his work had been done that was to end in this tragedy. “QUIT?

Pipkin Jr., 2% years old, brought from Pine Bluff, where he has served a brief news- paper apprénticeship. Adams, Pipkin end J. P. Burke, business manager, now make the World's staff.

TO CURE GRAFT PRINT THE FACTS By GEORGE H. ADAMS W £ might have talked our- selves black in the face on our editorial page, shouting that everything was all wrorg, and crying out for “reform.” So.c? people would have believed us; some wouldn’t. Most likely we should merely have distressed them,’ without helping them to make up their minds what they would do about it. We thought we knew a better way. What we did was just to. dig up the facts and print them, without a word of _ theorizing. That was the best way. Give the people the plain facts and they’ll know what to do without being told. We had no enemies to punish. We weren’t “after” anybody. We wanted good government. We made no charges of corruption. We just printed the facts, facts which anybody could verify who want- ed to take the trouble. We put on no varnish. We made a per- fectly fair statement. If the politicians found fault, they were merely i fault with their own record. he people did the rest. If I have any theory of news- paper work, that’s it.

MAN MADE DRUNK BY PHURIBITIONIST Minneapolis Doctor Wanted to Test Intoxicating Qualities of a Certain Malt. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 10.—In- vited as a paying guest and apparently assured of immunity from arrest should the festivities become exciting, Charles H. Bates took two galions of malt to the residence of a& prominent. prohibitionist and did stunts calculated to show that the malt was intoxicating. The little party took place at the resi- dence of Dr. George D. Haggard, 2400 Chicago avenue, but there was a real purpose besides that of simply making merry. The object was to prove that a brand of malt is intoxicating, and if the stories told by Dr. E. F. Waite in pe- lice court are true the merrymakers ac- complished their aim. , Dr. Haggard didn’t risk the reputa- tion of his party by drinking any of the so-called non-intoxicant himself, but merely superintended the process of get- ting it to work on Bates. He took the notes for the enlightenment of the court. The case that suggested this party is that of the State against John Revack, who was charged with selling liquor

without a license. The police lost a re-. cent cage by failing to prove that the malt would intoxicate a man. The re- port of a chemist alone is not sufficient to prove that malt is ae Bates is the chief witness. When the case was called he said that he r- chased two gallons of the mait from Revack and with a friend went to the home of Dr. H “There we chatted pleasantly for a time,” he said, “and then I drank eight glasses of the malt.” : “Did the malt have any effect on uting attorney. ‘it did,” replied Bates, “I should sa . i EPG ow n't work, o e tant my memory te not the + ® WATERMELON SAVED TWO GIRLS” LIVES Were Awake When Thieves Set Fire to the Building.

Both girls insist they had the times ef their lives. There were pickles and chocolates, topped off with generous slices of celd Georgia watermelon, te which they did ample justice. Left all alone by Superintendent Mc- Lennon Lane of the Revere School in his home at 6351 Lexington avenue’ while with his wife he took fresh air at Lake Forest for a few days, Miss Hayden and Miss Armstrong did just as they pleased. It suited their fancy to devour pickles and watermelon. ' At night, after they had .counted a thousand backward for the fifteenth time, without its having the red ef- fect of weoing them into slumtberland, the girls arose and tried ‘to read the magazines. : They heard a mysterious and terrify- ing neise downstairs.

After 4 o’clock he drives to some remote part of wood or lake and shoots game for about an hour, but he generally returns punctually for dinner at half past 6. Dinner is not allowed to last quite an hour; the Emperor partakes of only a dish or two and drinks one glass of Bordeaux, During after-dinner conversation on the terrace of the old-fashioned, unpretending, imperial villa the Emperor smokes his third cigar, after which he re- tires to his bedroom, where his body waiting to question him on his health. the Emperor is always in bed.

The eldest daughter is much more tolerant and pretends not to notice things. But the good time will soon be over, for Marie Valerie is expected at Ischl in a fortnight’s time.

NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS. Text: And from this war there is no HE history of eloquence holds a if story of an orator who was for- bidden to address the people jbe- cause he made the ills of life so black that many went forth and committed suicide. A chance reading of the daily life of our own city would seem to argue that this orator has been succeeded by many voices that have proved for the modern multitude that the reasons against living are more than the rea- sons for living. Again has come a time when self-murder is a favorite door of escape from life’s ills and ene- mies. In the ancient times the Stoics made Suicide a virtue. From many troubles, large and small, the sufferer turned to this door otf escape. Judas slew himself to find release from the pangs of an outraged conscience... Nero suicided be- cause he feared the just recompense of his crue! deeds. Cicero drew his sword because he was un- equal to meeting his enemies. The philosopher for- got his own argument when his beloved friend or wife or child fled away. Today the loss of a little property, the loss of good health or good name, or even the fear of old age or financial] stress, light as these feather ills are, seem heavy enough to justify opening for oneself the door of death. But men of good health ought not to sit in judg- ment upon others. The first law of nature is self- preservation. When, then, that deep instinct whispers counsels of self-destruction, some awful injury has overwhelmed the soul and induced abnormal and feverish thoughts. For healthy minds it is more important than ever before to strike the heroic note and remember that man is here for the purpose of struggling against his foes and of winning victories. Sgciety is not out on a picnic or a pleasure jaunt; it is out to climb the hills of difficulty and conquer for oneself wisdom and goodness. To him that overcometh belongs the hero’s crown and the joy of hanging the shields of one’s enemies upon the walls of memory. The foes of man’s happiness stand round about him, as wolves about the Alaskan winer ‘sleeping by the embers. Now the fire is kindled upon his factory or house, and, sleeping in peace, he wakens to ashes and pov- erty. Now the flood comes in from Over the sea, or the river overflows his bank, or the rains and hails destroy his grain. Then. the tornado is loosened, and the cyclone leaves in its path ruined orchards and meadows. Everything man has is overtaken’ by some enemy. The rust falls upon his wheat, an insect attacks his cotton, the blight ruins the grape or plum, the frost cuts down his corn. In the city panic walks through t..e streets and cuts down property, as a sickle slays the golden grain. Enemies go forth against his reputation, his riches take wings, good name passes, friends grow forgetful. Strength dis- d'scharge.—First Kings. solves, the grasshopper itself becomes 4 burden; man walks forward under a clouded sky. Then the warrior must call in all his reserves. Every night the hero sleeps upon his arms. Every morning he must sharpen his sword and put on his shield.” Every day is big with peril and destiny. This is the epic of man’s life. It is a battle against the city of man’s soul, and from the war of offense and de- fense there is no discharge. The reason of this conflict is not hard to find. And perhaps the foes are only disguised friends. When the youth enters the symnas!- um in pursuit of strength the trainer him durnbbetia and weights and a daily stint. 3ut are the dumbbells foes? Are the weights ene- mies? is the stint a warfare and a battle? By struggling with the weight the youth gains strength. And perhaps the conflagrations in yonder city teach man the mastery of fire and the forces of the storm. Perhaps the floods come that man may learn new uses of the turbine wheel and the ocean#hip. Perhaps the snows fall to compel man to become an architect and learn how to use wood and stone and steel. Per- haps the seas are wide that he may learn to spread his sail and strengthen his ship. Perhaps the rivers are wide to force man to spring a bridge, mountains high to compel man to climb the steeps, the gold deep that in the digging man may gain wisdom that is better than gold and more precious than rubies. Perhaps wrongs are here as tonic to reformer, and disputes arise that statesmen may fulfill their task. Poverty comes also to spur man to generosity. Cer- tain it is that in the conflict with despotism lovers of liberty have won their greatest victories. In the battle with ignorance, also, scholars have achieved their stainless robes. In the de termination to win @ name for himself the weak lad has slowly developed the strength of a moral Hercules. Getting means struggling. Strength comes through wrestling. The wide look across the plains means the slow climbing to the mountain top, whence the view is gained. Every good thing is a prize won after @ fierce conflict. And heaven itself is a height on which man climbs on the golden rounds of the good deeds of this life Every ane of the seven crowns and forms of happi- ness and good fortune offered in John’s vision of par- adise represent rewards given for victory Won on seven battlefields. Thank God, froni the life battle there {s no discharge paper that does not come from the angel of death. When the last sunset gun booms, happy is he who has never played the coward, but has fought the good fight and kept his manhood, and every day plungea the battle flag a little further into the ranks of the enemy.

Smallpox had ruined all complexions, and the few women who had escaped it, who would now only be called ordinarily nice-looking, were then as rare as goddesses and so worshiped. Forty years ago aged relatives used to tell me stories that puzzled me of ladies in Edinburgh about 1820—of ladies so beautiful that crowds always lined their paths from their carriages to the shops. I used to regret I had missed seeing beauties so delightful, little knowing I was really seeing them daily. The milkmaid, accidentally vaccinated in her trade, es- caped smallpox, and so gained .the repute for fresh complexion that some of us who are older can re- member. Vaccination has enabled all women now to equal her in beauty, and her fame has gone, though her looks remain as before. Thanks to Edward Jenner, it is that we men need not rush in inconvenient crowds when we wish to see a good-looking woman, for in every gathering and by many hearths are women now as lovely as were the famous and fabled beauties of the past. PIANO NERVE By Francis Morton, in The Musician. IEN we compare the thin-toned, delicately con- structed spinets and clavichords with a modern grand piano we can only exclaim in astonish- “What a change is there!” If we could have heard Paderewski give what was considered “diffi- cult mUsic in those times on such an ancient musical box, noting what outlay of strength was requisite, and then hear the great artist in the “Sonata Ap- passionate” on his concert grand, we should be even more astonished at the contrast between the physical endurance required in those days and the modern standard of power. Not only is greater strength required of a performer, but as a consequence of the increased range of tone of Which a modern piano is capable the expressive power of piano music has been vastly augmented, making propor- tionate demands on the mental vigor and nerve force, in addition to the tax on muscular strength. W ment, A RUNAWAY RIVER By A. J. Wells, in “Sunset.” HE problem and the peril of the Colorado River are not difficult to understand. A great river running slowly on a ridge of its own creating; running in a broad and tortuous channel, choked with islands of mud and bars of ‘sediment; running with a fall of only one foot to the mile, while to the north and west lay a vast depression below sea level, and inviting the sluggish river to a swifter flow; be- tween this sunken area and the uncertain course of the river a great Garden of.Eden, in promise and po- tency, needing only to be watered and kept; then a canal tapping the river, a flood gathering at the far away sources, a breach in the unprotected bank, and the whole volume of the river, forsaking its ancient and outgrown bed and rushing into that pit in the desert, sweeping in its course through miles of. fer- tile farms, and cutting canyons where canals had been —this is an outline’of the situation and a hint of the peril. remedy for it? Listen to this By EUGENE O perfectly normal, healthy man ever desires to commit a crime. If his body be sound his mind is inclined only to peace, to harmony, to pleas- ant relations with his fellow-man. If his physical state be abnormal his mind will be disordered and he is more prone to lawless acts. Undoubtedly there is a wavo of crime invading New York—a wave of disorder I would call it. Doubt- less there are numerous contributory causes, but the fundamental reason lies in the persons themselves. You cannot check crime by mere preventive meas- ures, If a man were hanged to that lamppost on the corner tonight for a murder another of his kind would be just as apt to commit a similar crime on the same spot tomorrow night. Murder cannot be stopped by hanging any more than temperance enforced by ar- resting drunkards. It is necessary to go men and get at underlying causes. A man’s actions are governed by his own mind—his brain. We inherit from our parents certain traits and characteristics, but they are infinitesimal in com- parison to the influence and the dally effect wrought upon our brains by our physical condition. Inherit- ance can be molded and changed, but the influence of the body is fixed and ever-present. Food has a vital effect upon our bodies. The scope of its influence upon our brains, the extent to which it governs our actions and its responsibility for crimes and mental disorders form a subject of ex- treme importance. This relates not merely to acts of violence which we are now experiencing, but to eco- nomic conditions wherein one man preys upon his fel- low-man. Let us look into the direct consequences of food upon the actions of the individual. The warlike, con- quering nations of the world are heavy meat éaters. A handful of Englishmen took possession of India, with its millions of rice-eating inhabitants. Very well. Is England any ‘better for having done so? Has she improved morally and mentally?

ITH the passage of the Pure Food and Drags act by Congress, the patent medicine frauds, which had fought its passage by fair means and foul—principally the latter—found three paths open to them, First, they could go out of business, rather than expose the real nature of the concoctions with which they had been so long “‘doping’’ the public; second, they could change their formulas, leaving out those dangerous ingredients which, under. the law, must now be specified on the label before the article can enter into interstate commerce; third, they. could remove from their labels the lying clauses which form the basis of their busjness, There is a fourth alternative, they could ignore the law. A few are doing this in a small way, but mostly the great American Fraud, for the first time on the defensive, has foregone its attitude of de- fiance.

If you was a settin’ in the room next to where he was you'd a’ thought a church sociable was a goin’ on in there. He was a town meetin’ for argyment, an a sewin’ circle for conversation all rolled into one. Some folks said as how he was most too gabby, an’ one Harvard perfes- sor that boarded up to our/house one season said that either him or Jim would have to go. Mr. Perfessor went.”’ “What'd he talk about?” queried Si. “He was a compendium o’ general information,” sid the Captain. “Whatever he’d hear anybody s2y one day, he'd repeat the next day—which sometimes got kind of embarrassin’, seein’ how ye say things now an’ then ye don’t like to be reminded of later. We had six boarders an’ ten mealers that year, an’ after dinner was over an’ the mealers had gone back. home the boarders , would naterly make remarks about ‘em. One mealer p'tic’larly was one o’ them old maids on the shady side o’ fifty that liked to dress jest a leetle too young for herself.. She was a Miss’ Scagway, from Elmiry, New York, an’ sheh used to rig herself out an’ behave like one o ‘em gigglers from the high school, an’ the way she made eyes at them college boys was next door to scand’lous. One night after she'd gone home one of the boarders made the remark that that _ there Miss Scagway ‘d be arrested for kidnapin’ _ before the summer was over, an,’ onfortunately, “I’d ’a’ swore he was,” returned the Captain. “But ye never can tell. In this p’tic’lar case Jim went clear back on us. Next mornin’ at break- fast, just as mother was cuttin’ the pumpkin pie, with Miss Scagway settin’ there lookin’ nineteen and a half, an’ makin’ eyes at a young college kid from Boston, Jim flops in through the win- der, an’ perches hisself on top o’ the bookcase we kep’ our chiny in, an’ begins to yell ‘Skag- way, Skagway, Skagway.’ Even that didn’t both- er us any, because her name was Skagway, an’ it’s a name that anybody can mention in the presence of ladies without apologizin’. But when he’d done that an’ attracted everybody’s atten- tion to hisself, he leaned forward an’ squawked out ‘Kidnaper, kidnaper, kidnaper,’ three times, just like that.’ “Gee!” cried pi. “Mother dropped the pumpkin pie on the floor, I made a grab for Jim, an’ Miss Scagway rose up an’ swep’ from the room like as though she was the Empress o’ Roosia, an’ she never come back,” continued the Captain. “After that I put fly screens in all the winders to keep Jim out o’ th’ house durin’ th’ summer season.

I told Horiss it was all right for a crow to get off things on the gentle spring time, an’ sonnets on summer, with an occasional] blast on the needs o’ the country, or the ghort- }comin’s of the administration; an’ now an’ then it was rather pleasant to set out on the lawn an’ listen to Jim perched on a tree goin’ on about the corruptin’ inflooence o’ the railroads on poli- tics. He'd scorch the B. & M. for fair, an’ I ain’t sayin’ I didn’t like it, because I sort of do think the railways has too much to say about things in this here country. But when I thought of all the chores they was to be done about the farm it seemed to me that Horiss must be wastin’ a hull lot o’ vally’ble time teachin’ that there crow long- winded speeches like that. So I says to him, ‘If you'd spend half the time turnin’ the woodpile into kindlin’ an’ diggin the weeds out o’ the truck garden that ye do turnin’ that there crow into a leadin’ Populist stump speaker, ye'd begin to earn the pickles an’ doughnuts ye consume be- tween meals.’ Horiss is a lad o’ considerable | spunk, an’ when I said that he got as mad as a hornet. ‘I ain’t teached him,’ says he, ‘an’ you ain’t got no business to say I hev.’ ‘D’ye mean to tell me that that there bird has picked up all them poems an’ sky-scrapin’ speeches on the railroads hfsself?’ says I, fixin’ my eye on the sad fe ‘I do’ know where's he’s got ‘em,’ says Horiss. ‘What I do say, an’ | says it straight, I _ fain’t teached him one gol-durned word o’ th’ sn wero Ps wh cnet se hows | REMINISCENCES OF A NATURE FAKER NO 6 —— —— - . * « s ., - e -*e ** ee. “ew “Come on, dod gast ye {** p’tic larly in his love o’ truth. He'd scorn a lie, jest as I do, so I knowed when he said that that I’d done wrong in talkin’ to nim the way I did. But ye can bet that I watched that crow pretty careful for two or three weeks tryin’ to find out the sources o’ his unusual supply of inter- estin’ litertoor. First, I thought maybe he’d been sittin’ on the Inglewood piazzy listenin’ to th’ city folks talkin’, but one day I found out jest how it was. I came acrost him settin’ on th’ curbstone jest outside o’ this here Postoffice, peckin’ away at a Boston newspaper somebody ’d throwed into the street. He'd tear off a little at a time, right out o’ the middle o’ the editorial page, an’ swaller it, an’, I gorry, he never quit it till he’d eat up th’ hull page, not even exceptix’ the patent medicine advertisements.” “Must o’ had a strong stummick,” said Si. “All crows has,” said the Captain. “They can digest most anything that ain't made o° glass or steel. Well, sir, I got thinkin’ about the possible things, an’ after, he'd amt i, the editorial page I went cut an’ got the date o’ that newspaper from the pages he left behind him, enough, two days later, Jim comes along qn’ be- gins to spout jest exactly what was printed on the page he’d swallered. He didn’t go at it straight, of course, but give out parrygraphs from different columns as the material came into his mind, endin’ up. with sundry flatterin’ remarks about Sunrise plug terbacker, the very stuff that was advertised in the upper right-hand corner.” The Captain paused for a moment to light his pipe. “I can prove it, too,” he went on. “If I was to have that story printed an’ circylated among the children in the public schools, an’ the United State Senate should want to investigate the truth o’ that story, I can show ‘em the curbstone where { ketched Jim eatin’ the newspaper, an’ what's more, I can tell them the name o’ the newspaper —though I don’t exactly remember the date.” an’ bought another copy of it, an’ sure. as &@ Man oO’ veerassity would be all they’d need,” said the Postmaster, dryly. “I’m glad ye think so, Joe,” said the Captain. “IT don’t know’s they’s anything more vallyable in. life to a ma” than the good opinion o’ his neighbors. It’s all right to have a national rep- pytation, but if ye haven’t got a local one to back it up there’s likely to be trouble. But comin’ back to Jim, he was a great comfort to us that winter. Late in August he used to fly up to the village o’ nights, an’ set on the hitchin’ post in front o’ Mo’ Simmons’ drug store an’ listen to the phonygraph Mosc kep’ to attract custom- ers to his soda water fountain. It stood in the middle o’ Mo’s front door an’ was chuck full o’ good songs, an’ opery music of ali sorts, an’ now an’ then it would holler out a good line o’ min- strel talk, an’ Jim, he’d set outside there on the hitchin’ post, with his head cocked to one side, takin’ it all in, jest as if he knew what ‘twas all about. Every time it ‘d finish up somethin’ he p tic’larly liked, he’d flap his wings like he was applaudin’. That’s where he got ‘The Boy Stood on the Burnin’ Deck.’” “Ye mean to say he got so’s he could give what the phoygraph did?” asked Si Witherspoon. “I mean jest that,” said the Captain. “Every- thin’ down -to the least little squeak o’ them rub- ber records, except the Suzy’s band music. He could get the tune o’ those, too, but when it come down to the trombone an’ the clarinet, an’ the big bass drum, he sort o’ didn’t have the necessary plunfbin’ to bring them out as ful] an’ strong as they was in the ’riginal. But all the things like ‘Tammany,’ an’ ‘The Little Knot o’ Blue,’ an’ ‘The Gal I Left Behind Me,’ he could sing like a canary, words and music. An’ I tell ye, gentle- men, when the winter came an’ we was snowed up so we had to leave the housg by the skylight on the roof an’ dig our way up to the level, it was mighty pleadant to sit in front of a roarin’ fire them cold nights an’ listen to that there renderin’ the pop’lar songs o’ the day, an’ givin’ us an occasional minstrel show that, if ye shut your eyes, ye’ couldn’t hardly tell from the real thing. Sometimes it got a little tiresome when he’d only do one thing and kep’ at it for several hours runnin’.

HE pleasure and sport of sailing on Creve Coeur Lake is very little known in St.Louis and even less appreciated. In fact those who are wont to enjoy holding the tiller and playing the sail in the summer at the sea or on the Northern lakes are prone to ridicule and make light of any such thing as true, good sailing on the county lake. The lake affords a splendid opportunity for some really good sailing and moreover possesses some characteristics that to be found nowhere else. Its peculiarities are so striking as. to be i ~ scarcely believable, but one experienced on the lake will convince JEFF DAYS Hie} | the toughest and most experienced tar that he has yet something to Says Old Man Hurt Him More _Jearn before he can manage a boat gracefully on the Creve Coeur. about.

On account of the shallowness of the lake the hoats built to travel over it draw very little water. They have shallow center boards, very large beams. As a general rule also the winds are light, and hence to offset this drawback the boats are crowded with sail beyond their normal capacity. This provides for the exhilarating note of danger to offset the feeling of security that’ the shallowness of the water provides. Fut the startling fact connected with handling a boat on the lake is the idiosyncracies of the course, On the east shore tower are some jagged bluffs and to these jis attributed most of the petullarities that so disconcert the or- dinary sailor, when for the first time he makes his debut in a boat on the lake. For example, when the wind is from the southwest and the: boat is skim- ming before it, as the sloop comes up wnder the oluff the extraordinary fea- ture of sailing befure the wind in a complete circle is witnessed. The wind hits the bluff hard and, as it were, bounces back, describing a huge circle, -/and before the unexperienced mariner appreciates the wherefore or the why ‘he is skimming around ‘n a _ perfect circle, whieh has always been supposed did nothing of the kind. Instead of coming about directly on the other side of the stake they went a considerable distance down past it and then came about. Apparently this seemed very poor handling of the craft, as it appeared as if they were sailing more than was necessary. But the reason of it became apparent when instead of being forced to tack a number of times, as were all the other boats forced to do in order to pass the finishing line, it came on straight «lown the lake without a change of sail. The advantage derived from this was of course immeasurable, and the Wren time after time annexed the championships of the lake. Now the other owners have awoke to the situation and it remains to be seen iif the heretofore victorious Wren will continue to triumph over the other craft on the lake.

All the boats ‘naturally attempted to turn the far essary on the northern lake and on the sea. The reasons are given as the changing of the winds, the necessity of carrying’ increased canvas, and continu- ally being on the alert for passing puffs and nasty squalls. Stewart is an Englishman and has sailed a great deal before coming to this country, but says his knowledge profitedshim little when he got out-on the Weckle winds and waters of Creve Coeur. He is now enthusiastic over the lake and says that anyone who can handle a boat on it need never fear his ability to sail on any waters, Each year witnesses a larger m@é@m- bership in the yacht club and is highly indicative of the growing popularity of the sport.

Million Dollars for Month’s —_— = What It Will Cost the Saratoga As- sociation to Held Twenty-Two Days Racing at Famous Spa Course.

HE 22 days’ race meeting, which T began at ‘ijaratoga last Monday, has already given strong indica- tions that it will be one of the inost successful in the history of the asso- ciation. The cream of the racing thor- wughbreds of the country are now col- lected at the. Spa, the track is one of the best and safest in the country, the prizes are rich and the jockeys cannot be surpassed for skill and daring in any ether land. ; Sensational racing may be expected from the fact that this year’s crop of two and three-year-olds is the best that has been seen on the Metropolitan cir- cuit since the days of Domino and Henry of Navarre and Salvator and Tenny. There is a widely prevalent opinion among sporting men generally that the various racing assdciations niake enor- mous profits out of the game, but the cost of the sport ‘s much larger than most people imagine. In round num- bers it will take a million dollars to pay the cost of the sport at Salatoga dur- ing this month.

— FOOTBALL WILL ~~ BE FLYING SOOM Although Short, the Coming .Sea- son Promises Much in the Gridiron Sport.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Although the coleges have not yet begun to dust out | their halls of learning in preparation for | the swarms of young men who will soon be heading their way, the talk of. foot- ball prospects for the coming season is beginning to be heard at every summer resort where ‘two or more college men are gathered together. The season for the elevens, while comparatively short this year, promises to be one of the best in recent years, for the gridirons will be occupied from Sept. 21 until Nov. 30, with games of minor and major col- lege ealibre. A few of the games that have been considered important in past years have been canceled, but as a gen- eral thing most of the old standbys will be played. The opening day of the season, Sept. 21, will be marked by four games, of which the most important is the clash of the Carlisle Indians and Albright at Carlisle. The games come thick and fast after that, Wednesday and Satur- day being the favorite football days. The early season games are always more or less in the nature of practice sessions, for the colleges like to work up heavywelght opponents through the ranks of the little fellows, and though these smaller college teams sometimes put up an excellent argument, the real interest in the game doesn’t burst out until the home stretch openes before the major teams. Three games which are to be played on Oct. 12, however, will prove to be of some little interest with- out a doubt. These will be the Pennsyl- ania-Swarthmore game at Philadelphia, the Indians-Syracuse meeting at Buffa- lo, and the Navy’s game with Vanderbilt at Annapolis. This last, particularly, should be a fast, snappy game, for the two teams are practically unchanged from last year’s line-up, and their work was far above the average. The games of importance increase in number as the season draws on, and each Saturday's schedule shows meet- ings of teams which will create stirs.

‘GREAT PLAYING CAREER

i. ——_— Jennings as a Fielder. Hugh Jennings was a wonderful field- er in his day. One particular point about his work is that he never cared when he made errors. He covered more ground than any other shortstop in the business, Herman Long not excepted. No shortstop of his day, or of this, had the great number of chances that Jen- nings obtained, his major ahd minor league record showing that in 12 years he averaged 6.43 chances per game. His earnest hustling and absolute lack of fear finally put an end to his career as a shortstop, for his arm went back on him and he had to move to second base, and then to first. In both these positions Jennings played his usual su- perb game and made a name for him- self. As showing how much ground Jennings covered when he was a short- stop, Terry Turner averaged 6.07 chances per game last season, Hans Wagner 6.25 and Red Doolin 6.11. In three successive j seasons Jennings averaged more than seven chances to a game. His com-

, he Public Grounds at Tower Grove Are Recruiting Rac- quet Wielders. Grass-covered l@wn_ tennis courts are furnishing a novelty for the wielders of the racquet in St. Louis. All over the city there are numer- ous clay courts and the Triple A, Country Club and other club courts are all of the hard-rolled clay. In Tower-.Grove Park a number of public courts have been established. These are all laid out on the grass. There are about a half dozen in all scattered through the park, and they are generally occupied, especially on Saturday afternoons. The players are greatly in favor of the grass courts because the game is not so heat- ing or tiresome because of the grass. The courts seems to be fairly level and some good matches are witnessed and while not as fast as the con- tests on the clay courts are more pleasant to watch, the green being restful to the eyes, whereas the sun on the clay dazzles. In Chicago and cther Eastern cities grass courts are more in favor than the clay ones. It is about a toss-up as to which is the most expensive to maintain. In Chicago, however, it is said that the grass courts are always occupied, while the few clay courts are not nearly so popular. It is possible that, seeing the success of the grass courts in the parks, the Triple A may ley out a grass court. — ---®> -— SOLDIERS IN STEEPLECHASE.

AMERICA’S BEST “TO MEET WORLD Olympian Games Team Will Be Chosen by Long Elimina- tion Tests.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The latest deliberations of the committee in charge of the Olympic games in Eng- land next July mean that all Ameri- can universities which have been planning to send individual teams abroad will be disappointed. It has been decided that in track and field sports no’ country can enter more than 12 men in a _ single event. Fur- thermore, the selection of the Amer- ican team will be in the hands of the American committee, and no en- tries can be accepted unless they are made through the American commit- tee. The University of Pennsylvania, as well as Harvard and Yale, had been formulating plans to send their teams to these games irrespective of the plans made by the American commit- tee. The Pennsylvanians wanted to repeat their success of 1900, when their team won about everything on the other side. Yale and Harvard had been planning to hold a dual meet with Oxford and Cambridge, previous to the Olympic games, and then to enter their teams in the Olympic meet. The method of selecting the American team changes all this. The American committee has not announced its com- plete plans yet, but from what it hap announced the American team is to be picked only after an exhaustive .series of elimination tests. It is planned to hold sectional meets throughout the country at which all bona fide amateurs may compete, and then to have the point winners of these games meet in a national set of games at which the whole team may be selected on a com- petitive basis. After the unfortunate manner in which the American team was selected for the Athens meet last year, this plan will meet with unqualified approval. In 1906 the American team was made up for the most part of the then A. A. U, champions, and there was no compe- tition for the selection of other candi- dates. This worked a very great in- justice to several American athletes whofpught to have been placed on the team’ One of these was Melvin Shep- pard, the fastest middle-distance runner in America at the time. Of course, there were hardly any college men on the team, this being due to the fact that the games were held during the college year when it was impossible for un- dergraduates to wet away,

the Central Y. M. C. A. meet to set a new mark for the 10-yard dash has caused the local followers of the cinder path te wonder as how authentic are the local records. In the 100-yard dash referred to five watches were held by as many officials and five different records were caught for the distance. The watches ranged from 0 1-56 to 9 $6 seconds, and of course the time adopted was the aver- age, which was more or less of a guess. The natural result of thig divefgency in timing and the other circumstances has done much to cast doubt on records made recently in St. Louis. Especially has this applied to For- line’s wonderful 9 4-5 for the 100 made at the M. A. C. games. At the time many laughed at such a performance and called it a mere spasm of rural timing, but the majority of those con- versant with the man had faith in the mark. It is time that it was practically a new set of officials that caught the time and trusty guard that has been wont to stop the watches on the runners here- were not concerned in it. But at that the fact that there is such room for the personal equation in stop- some means of doing away with this personal factor and placing the timing on a more scientific basis. In fact, the long continued wrangling in the athletic world over the authen- ticity of some amateur sprinting records suggests the immediate need of some sort of an electric timing device to take the place of stop watches in the hands of human beings. Although Dan Kelly of Portland, Ore., is credited with the world’s record of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash, there is hardly an Eastern athlete or critic who believes that Kelly ever did such fast time. No one doubts the honesty of the Western officials, but they at- at the Y. M. C. A. meet.

_—_— a nntletion —_— ~— SS, S cuRES ECZEMA The cause of Eczema is a too acid condition of the blood. The itching, burning eruptions are caused by the outpouring through the pores and glands of the skin, of the fiery poisons with which the circulation is load- ed. This acrid matter coming in contact with the delicate tissues and fibres with which the skin is so abundantly supplied causes irritation and inflammation and often excessive discomfort and annoyance. While ex- ternal applications, such as salves, washes, lotions, etc., are soothing and cleansing they are in no wise curative) because they do not reach the blood where the trouble is located. You can never cure Eczema with out- side treatment ; the blood must be purified. S.S. S. is the best treatment for the dsease. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the acids and humors with which the blood is infected, and makes the blood-current fresh and healthy, Then instead of fiery, acrid matter oozing out through the pores and glands, irritating the cuticle, the skin is nourished by a rich, cooling, healthy stream of blood. 5... S. removes every trace of the disease, and when the cure is completé the skin is left smooth and free from any eruption.

The Druggist was holding the end seat val- iantly, and the Lidlifter kicked his shins as he climbed from the handrail. “Oh, it’s you, is it?” said the Druggist, as he recognized his customer, and occasional mentor. “Excuse me. I’m used to sitting on the end seat whenever I can get if. I like it in the morning, and when I get it I hold it, but’ —— “But sometimes some hogagets it ahead of you,” suggested the Lidlifter. “Is that. what you were going to say?” The Druggist nodded. “First time I’ve been out here this summer,” he remarked. “The dancing club my soda fountain boy belongs to is on an.excursion down the river tonight, and he would have jumped his job to go, but the rest told him to stay on my payroll. They like to drop in when I’m not there and get phosphates and sundaes that: never go on the cash regis- ter. If they weren’t all away tonight, I wouldn’t fee] safe coming out here.” “Seems to me,” remarked the Lidlifter, “that there oiight to be a law ‘about that, since that law the automobile owners have had passed.

He was absorbed in watching the players as they took their places on the diamond. Through the eight and a half innings that followed the New Yorker heard a line rooting the like of which he had never even imagined. And it was all for the home team, too. It didn’t make any difference that the Cardinals were four runs behind with no apparent chance to catch up at the end of the seventh inning. Yell Themselves Hoarse. The fans in the grandstand and bleachers yelled themselves hoarse when a St. Louis batter stepped up to the plate. They coached the baserunners and hooted the umpire when he decided a close point against St. Louis. Occasionally there was desultory roasting of indi- vidual players on the home team but the joshers were quickly yelled down. “T never saw anything like it,” said the New Yorker as he left the grounds after the Cardjnals had been well walloped. “You people in this town are too good natured.

"For there’s a born tomboy—it's in her blood to cut monkey-shines and never “take a dare’ when it comes to a bit of acro- batic funny-business on the stage. ‘ That’s why Josie Intropidi turned a somersault right after Comedian Young did that same stunt in singing “Follow the Man from Cook’s” in “A Run- away Girl” not long ago. They all had to do what- ever Young did in that song, and, of course, it was paey for the men, but when it came Miss Intropidi’s turn—gee whiz! but there arose an embarrassing Would she do it—or perhaps, could she?

Mrs. Mullins is receiving $7 weekly as temporary alimony pending the trial of the suit, this having beén ordered on the strength of the affidavit of Mullins that he wa» earning only $60 phis, Aug. 22-26, has been changed ftom Memphis to Jackson, satne date, Dis- satisfaction on the part of a majority of the negroes in Memphis in the Col- ored Methodist Episcopal Church, over the attempt to oust Hev.

Oppenheimer Negotiations With Klaw & Erlanger Promise to Make St. Center and Directing Louis Great Producing Headquarters of a Wide Theatrical Territory—Grand Opera House, Im- perial and Standard Open This Afternoon and Columbia Tomorrow—How Cissie Loftus Was Protected From Social Pressure in St. Louis— The Week’s Offerings. * \

HE new s event of the week in local theatrical circles was the announce- ment from New York of negotiations said to be under way between ; Klaw & Erlanger of that city and the Oppenheimer brothers of St. Louls, by which the latter may come into control of a number of important Shubert houses in the Middle West and South, including the Garrick Theater in St. Louis. Should this deal be consummated it will vastly increase the importance of St. Louis as a theatrical center. Not only will this city become the direct- ing headquarters for the big territory indicated, which is expected ultimately to reach from Minneapolis and St. Paul to New Orleans, covering also Kansas City, Louisville, Memphis and other cities mentioned in the New York story, but it will also make St. Louis a producing center second ‘only to New York and Chicago. Many new musical comedies will receive their premiere produc- tion on the stage of the Garrick, and, also, big metropolitan successes will be presented there by the resident musical stock company while still enjoying their New York run. ‘This means a notable change in the local situation. New York, it is believed that matters are now in shape for its closing Wixew the Oppenheimers have declined to discuss the deal reported from at an early date. As regards the Garrick in this city, it is not thought that any change will be made that will ager. affect Dan S. Fishell’s Fishell stands well with the Oppenheimers, is interested with them in position as resident man- their movement to establish a summer circuit of four or more cities for next geason, and, besides, is so highly esteemed by the Shuberts that it is believed they would insist upon his retention under the new arrangement. Concerning the permanent musical stock company which will be organized for the Garrick in the event that the deal is closed, there is a rumor that John BE. Young, now of the Delmar Opera Company, will be engaged as its leading comedian. It is not known that any other member of the Delmar organiza- tion has been approached with an offer of engagement.

They report big bookings for their two theaters, and things are now sc ar- ranged that the Century will be more nearly on an equality with the Olym- pic in the matter of important offerings than ever before in its history. The field to be covered this season is wider than in former years, owing to the fact. that the many Shubert attractions heretcfore sent to the Garrick will this year come to the Olympic and Century. The big New York and Chicago success, open the Olympic season Sept. 1, remaining for two weeks. “The Man of the Hour,” will Then will come the premiere production of Hall Caine’s “The Bondman,”’ with Wilton Lackaye as its star, under the management of Willlam A.

At Theaters and Summer Gardens HB Grand Opera House season 19 opens with this afternoon’s mat- being the William H. West Minstrels. The great picturesque feature of the first part is a stage spectacle entitled “The Awaiting of Dawn,” containing repreductions from fameus sculpture, and said to have been designed after a neted Italian palatial interior, pre- sented on a massive gold-and-white scale. The company includes a band of excellent musicians, a corps of meiodi- eus singers, and the special features comprise much of original novelty and interest. Some diverting “omedy turns aré promised, also a number of ex- clusive acts of great attractiveness, foremest among which is said te be the singular achievement of George Van end Billy Graham. “David Corson” follows. The Imperial Theater opens its sea- gon this afternoon with the exciting meledrama, “Chinatewn Charlie,”” which tells a capital story, invelving the trials, struggles and tribulations of a young man who succumbs toe the pernicious habit of opium, through the influence ef a double-dyed villain who has pol; sened a rich man’s mind against his nephew with a view to capturing his inheritance. The story has its pa- thetic touches and shows how easily pessible it is for a young man to be led astray after finding the door of his heme closed against him. The successful policy of daily mati- nees and popular prices already inaug- urated by Manager Russell will pre- vail. The new play entitled Kid” follows. Commencing with matinee today the "The Candy Standard will offer for the week the ! Bohemian Burlesquers. The entertain- ment presents Andy Gardner as ‘‘Pat- sey” and Ida Nicolai ag ‘“‘Roxey” in sketch; Billy Spencer, the original ““Grogan’’; Carew and Hayes, in the Western novelty, “The Mad Stampede,” eribracing % people; the great Joe Barton and Brother, phenomenal trick cyclists; the Bohemian ‘clo, song and dance artists. Tne chorus will be seen in the hilarious extravaganza in two acts, “The Sum- mer Time,” especially written and inee, the attraction for the week,

staged for this company. The scenery, electrical effects and contumes are new and eriginal. The Celumbia will reopen for its reg- ular season of advanced vaudeville Menday afternoon. The star entertain- er for the first week will be Elfie Fay, ‘“‘The Belle of Avenue A,’”’ one of America’s most popular singing com- ediennes. In addition to her first great hit, “‘The Belle of Avenue A,’”’ Miss Fay will have a repertory of songs new to local theater-goers. Countess Olga Ros- si, formerly of the Reyal Opera Com- pany of Russia, and M. Fred Paufo, for four years the tenor lyric of the Grau Opera Company, will offer for the first time here a singing sketch entitled “During the Performance.” The Big City Four is a vocal comedy quartet that has feund much favor with criti- cal audiences of the large vaudeville theaters in the East and who will be heard here for the first time. Henry French, one of the most versatile of entertainers, will contribute an act in which he does some dextrous work astride one wheel, paints pictures with rags, juggles cleverly, and skates on rellers. Ameng the other features will be Frederick Brothers and Burns, in a comedy musical sketch; Les Aubin Leonel, Spanish dancers, and the Bal- zers, noted acrobatic performers “The Phantom Detective begins a week's engagement at Havlin’s this aft- ernoon. The story is woven about a wealthy old soldier and his daughter, the latter while a baby being stolen by an Oriental hypnotist. Of singing numbers there is a plenty, the chorus is one of the best drilled and there are numerous headline vaudeville acts, a cage of real Nubian lions, two carloads of scenery and effects, 30 people beside the greatest singing and danting four in the world, the American Newsboys’ Quartette. “Shadowed by Three’. is the title of the new play which wili foilow. “Lord and Lady Algy,"”’ R. C. Car- ton's best comedy, comes to the Subur- ban this week. The offering made a real hit when first presented by Charles Frohman at the Lyceum Theater in 1899.

GLOBE'S GIANT CLOCK OF FIRE ATTRACTS CURIOUS Sixty-Five Feet in Circumference, It Has 240 Electric Lights, The next time you walk near Seventh street and Franklin avenue, don’t be alarmed when you see passersby gazing skyward. They are not watching for an approaching cyclone, but are looking at the latest curio added to St. Louis streets, the immense clock on top of the building occupied by the Globe. This clock, unequaled for cost or size in the West, has recently been complet- ed by The Globe people at a cost of nearly $10,000. It is built in the shape of a globe, 64 feet in circumference. Twenty-feur hundred electric lights, fed by 9000 feet of wire adorn the out- side ef the clock and 100 bulbs light the dials from the inside. The flooring in- side the clock is larger than an erdi- nary parlor. Four dials, 11 feet in diameter, are covered with quarter-inch plate glass and the time is told by hands 35 inches long. The construction of the clock took two months for 25 men. The mech- anism is on the fourth floor of the building, while the clock is on the sixth. Four large bells weighing two tons strike the chimes every quarter-hour. When the cleck was first lighted up Several weeks ago people telephoned from East St. Louis to find out the Cause of “that big ball of fire.’’ PARLIAMENT TO INVESTIGATE married pretty Nellie Jackson, only 16, less than a year ago, and’ had whipped not only Nellie, but her mother as well, and then ran away. The hearing devel- oped some humor when it was shown that the young people had eloped to Youngstown, O., to be married, on mon- ey which the mother-in-law had quietly furnished the prospective son-in-law for that purpose. “After we came home to live with her she told my wife how to run me until I got tired of it, Your Honor,”’ said the young husband, and when placed under bail he went forth whistling “‘No Wed- ding Bells for Me.”’ TWENTY PERSONS INJURED WHEN BIG BALLOON EXPLODES Match Thrown by Spectator Ignites Gas in Bag at Fete .Near Roubaix, PARIS, Aug. 10.—The Gaulois staies that a balloon exploded at a fete near Roubaix, severely injuring 20 persons, 10 of whom are not expected to re- cover.

It is fair to assume also that no {ll-will was cher- ished, inasmuch as Mansfield later came in for generous recognition from the 8t.

In the opinion of many excellent crit- ics the really highest point in art reached by Mansfield was in his ad- mirable character-creation of the role of the paretic old Baron Chevrial in “The Parisian Romance,” one of the really most powerful conceptions on the contemporaneous stage.

No better water than from Medicine Creek was ever turned into water mains. A Chance to Make Money. Having read of many lucky ex - ences in Mexican mines, I visited aca to see for myself. The richness of their mines is certainly wonderful. The thousands of tons of rich Oe. pee oe 80 many mines, will give a the gold fever who visits that "leakrict, T had no idea of investing when I visited Mexico, but I bought 3000 shares in the Zavaleta and Soledad mines, and have already been offered twice what I paid for my stock. A friend who invested $30 sold his stock in less than three months for $150. Don’t Invest in a pros- pect, even if the stock is cheap, unless you expect to lose. Invest in a mine where at least 5000 feet of work has been done and not less than 20,000 tons of ore sold at a fair profit. In such a mine you are sure to make money. For safe advice regarding Mexican mines address the Pittsburg-Oaxaca Mining Co., Block

764, Pittsburg, Pa. You can rely on their statements and can make money quick and sure. JAMES MACK: (ad‘.) FORT SILL TO HAVE WATER SOON,\ O. T., Aug. 10.—Lieut. T. Barber Has Original ' Way of Pay- - Ing Old Scores Without Cost to Himself. LEXINGTON, Tenn., Aug. 10.—The Council block of business houses in this place was burned on tne night of July 1. Soon thereafter Walter Curlee, who owned a barber shop in the building, near Sardis. At the last term of court in Chester County Curlee was fined for whipping his grandfather, Madison Godwin. The fine and costs amounted to $50. Thursday Curlee went to Mr. Godwin’s house and told him if he did not pay the fine and costs he would kill him. He brought the old man in a buggy to the Courthouse, where the fine was paid. He then took him home. Afterward he demanded a sum of money from the old man. This was re- fused. Curlee then whipped his grand- pfather again and compelled him to go to Mrs. Godwin, who was visiting at a neighbor's, and get $40 and bring it to him.

» Mr. A. Craldes Presents Some Practical Ideas on the Subject.

»DO CREDIT BUSINESS | Drummers Must Know Span- ish, Be Polite and Study Customers’ Needs.

"To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch... - I have often wondered why the United ~ Btates business men are so slow in cap- turing. the .Latin-American trade. ‘Is it ‘because they have enough to do té keep them busy in’ their own coun- ; try? Is it because they are not aware ot the great resources of those coun- ‘tries? Or is it because they do not un- derstand the method of ‘doing business ‘ i-that section of the world? . Tf it's “sey. no more: if to the second, it is a “very poor reason, as there are many books and. magazines published every ’ day which tell the facts. I/ it is due to the last cause, which’I ‘presume is. the case, the American business men ‘snovld accommodate themselves .to the Weys and requiréments of the Latin- Americans.

It is not my intention to téach them how to do business, but “the trade of the ‘Latin-American coun- ‘tries, or the larger part of it, can be petured by them if they will go about it in the right way. German and English firms now have most of this trade. They send their ‘practical and skilled representatives, who are well educated both in business ‘ana “politeness, able to talk, read and ‘write Spanish fluently and receive the full support and confidence of their em- ployers. These are the most powerful factors in developing trade in that sec- tion of America.

SOHN YOUNG ‘BUSHNELL, Ill, Aug. $10.—John Young, an honored citizen of this town, is believed by his fellow lodge mem- bers to be the oldest member, in point of age and membership, of the I. O. O. F. Lodge. He was born at Koenigsbach, near Durloch, Germany, Oct. 165, °1910,. and reached America March 28.- After re- siding in New York City for six years he came to Illinois, settling:on a farm in Warren County,.near Roseville. Mr. Young spent the greater part of his life on this farm, and recently moved to this city. where he lives with. his. daughter, Mrs. Mary Lewis. Mr... Young is in his jninety-seventh year. He joined the I. O. O. F. fraternity ’ Dec. York City, and transferred to the Bush- nell order, in : 1872, ° PONS . a-.mémber 73 years. $250,000. I had an interview with him; in the course df which he tuld me that his intention was to put up the plant, but that he did not have the money to pay for it. However, he was willing to guarantee the deal with his planta- tion, provided that my house would put up the plant in running condition and jallow him a year to pay for it, with 6 per cent interest per annum, my. house to control the plant until full payment was made. I at once communicated the proposition to the firm I represented, making a detailed account of his finan- cial standing, to which I received the following reply: ‘‘You can close, the deal if he agrees to send one-fourth of the total amount. with the. order. and the, balance B. L.,’’ which he refused to fo. A few days later he cemmuni- cated his intentions to ? rep~esentative of a German concern and tre resul was that the German house only gave him a yoar more time, that is, two years on the deal, but alse went into partnership with the man. Brings Future Trade. The idea of the Germans in making this kind of concessions is because they not only sell the machinery and sup- plies at a fabulous profit, which allows them to go into partnership with the interested parties, but also because they are sure that any repairs and supplies that this plant may need in the future will be ordered from them, thus secur- ing by these means a continuous and steady flow of trade from that terri- tory. There is not the slightest doubt that most of the articles manufactured in the United States are far better ‘and of higher quality than those made in Ger- many, but the trouble with the Amer- icans is that they do not take pains to study the Latin-America: markets, and their general tendency is to deal with these countries as if they were dealing with the United States market. It is often noticeable in packing goods for export, shippers in - is country do not care if the tare weighs more than the goods packed. This is a very important matter jin doing business with . outside markets, as it saves tlfe customers freight charges and handling expenses, as well as customs house duty at the frontier which may be based on gross weight. Therefore, packages intended for export must be as light as the rough handling will permit. South Americans Our Friends. Most of the people in this country are under the impression that the South- Americans do not like Americans. It is ® very erroneous idea, and all I can say of this from the experience I have vith them (since I am a Spaniard my- self) is that they are not only proud of the Americans to the extent of mak- ing remarks’ very often to the Euro- peans ‘as to the greatness of the United States and its future, but would like to see Europe withdraw. from their shore. Latin-Americans. may not say to an American how much they lItke bim and-his country, but to.a European taey do. I think, therefore, that it is up to the Americans to be reasonable and to take advantage of this sentiment, and I wish to impress upon them that the export business is the business that pays. Be polite, considerate and meet all demands. If the Germans can do this, why cannot the Americans do the same? Yours truly,

LONDON, Aug. 10.—Speed mania in motorists has become so great a/crime that a monster petition to Parliament is being signed throughout Great Brit- ain. The petition calls for severe pre- ventative laws against reckless and inconsiderate drivers of automobiles. The daily papers teem with complaints of the brutal recklessness of motor- ists. Within four days two persons {have been killed near London by autos whose drivers scorched away and Can- rot be traced. Every day the death rate grows among pedestrians. Fines have been shown to be ne deterrent to the speed maniacs. The ,young Earl of Caledon, an Oxford student, has been fined $125 within two days on_ three charges of exceeding the speed : limit. The three offenses were committed in. three different districts, and in two of them his ‘license has been suspended. Since this penalty applies only to: the particular county in. which it is im- posed, the young nobleman simply moves to other counties*te break the laws and continue'his wild career of scorching. Every traveller coming to England goes into etstacies over the country roads. which form one of the most beautiful and characteristic features of the landscape. Their high variégated hedgerows clouds of dust raised by the motors. Those roads.are becoming, too danger- ous for horse-drawn vehicles or for per- sons walking. Country. children are noi longer safe when playing by the road- side. Houses near the highways are smothered in the dust raised by the “devil wagons. ’” Tenants refuse — to live near a big road. The hideous bellowing of the motor horns are also objected to by the quiet folk, while the hourly murder of pet dogs and cats, to say nothing of the poultry destroyed by the new jugger- nauts, make thousand of ‘enemies for the motor-mad contingent. Motorists in England rarely speak of anything but the high speed they at- tain. They seem not to see, much less appreciate, the beauties of the scenery on their ways, nor to devote any intel- ligent interest to the historical associa- In London, since the advent of motor serious accidents has gone up by leaps and bounds. The insecurity of city life has been more noticeable. In the coun- try an immense amount of damage has been done to the surface of the roads by motor traffic. The wheels of the autos dig great ruts. This is especially caused by the chains on wheels fastened there to .prevent ‘‘skidding’’ at curves. In short, motoring is fast becoming the greatest nuisance in England and a real danger. Legislative action is cer- tain to be taken. A Card of Thanks. The Sisters of St. Mary, in charge of Mt. §8t. Rose’s Hospital, 9200 South Broadway, wish to tender their sincerest thanks to all who by their presence or patronage assisted in making the lawn fete and bazar which took place on the hospital grounds last Thursday after- noon and evening, Aug. 8, so signally successful.

Six hundred telegraph operators employed by the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies in St. Louis quit their keys yesterday afternoon and joined the general strike, which has re- sulted in an almost complete suspension of business in 36 cities in the Jentral, Western and Southern States.

PARIS, Aug. 10.—Victoria. Queen of Spain, again is enclente, according to | nrivate dispatches received from San scbastian, where King Alfonso and his consort are sojourning. The news comes from a seml-offictal source, and there is little room to doubt its relia- bility. The stork visited their majesties’ pal- ace at Madrid on May 10 last, and the report that the bird has begun building a fresh nest on the royal preserves pre- paratory to presenting another child has caused no end of excitement here, where several distant relatives of Al- fonso’s family are hibernating. One of the important features of the situation is that the court physician will cinch his job.

For 18 months the Post- Dispatch and’ New York World have thorough search for the elder Rockefeller, but without success. .

Early in the search Frank Rockefeller, John D.’s youngest brother, ‘a ze interview stated that his father was not only alive, but in good health; his whereabout were a secret, and that there were grave reasons why t cret must not now be divulged. Ee But Frank Rockefeller went further. He spoke of a “time vat he would make public simultaneously the true life history of his brother, 4 D., and the secret of his father’s condition and whereabouts. rut interview, containing denunciations of Jokn D. and hints at m sons for the concealment of their aged father, Frank Rockefeller kept t Ideas closely linked: 4 BROTHER DARES JOHN D.

One was that hidden evil in the life of John D. was alone responsi conditions that made the aged father a fugitive, dreading discovery, “Go } John D. where our lather is,” he said. “Tell him that I sent- you ants r dare him to answer,” ™ ee In the next breath he added, “But the time will soon come wile! ~ safely speak. Then it will not be safe for John D. Rockefeller to appesr § the streets of any American city. He would be stoned by the people. } | but flight from the country into some foreign land will save his ite &: the whole monstrous truth is known.” The public got its first glimpse of this strange character, W st Rockefeller, from Ida M. Tarbell, in her study of John D. Rockefeller, g lished in MeClure’s Magazine in July and August, 1905. Previous to that 1 ; the public generally had supposed the elder Rockefeller to be dead. ae All that Miss Tarbell and her aids could discover of the ct | career of old William A. Rockefeller, filled but a single page of McClure’s 3 zine. MISS TARBELL’S HISTORY CHARGES THEFT. Condensed, it alleged that he was famed as a tricketer, Oe doctor and flirt whose friends were indicted for horsestealing, and contin she said, “And today old men in Mariana nod their heads cone and : ‘He was too smart to be caught.’ 2 “There is an indictment against William A. Rockefeller for a more seriou crime than horsestealing in the records of the county for 1849, and it is 7 probable that he left Mariana under compulsion.” ee Following Miss Tatbell’s article inquiries for William A, Rockefeller we started in the Middle West, and as nothing came of them they — re doned. Svon the belief that he wes dead gained force again. Matters were in this shape when the Post-Dispatch and World in J 1906, began the investigation which has now continued for eighteen m There were grounds to believe that the elder Rockefeller, if alive, w somewhere in Iowa. This statement was printed in MeClure’s Magazi picture of John D,’s father and private information in the possession of # oe a Dispatch and World corroborated it.

—_ Three Bullets Hit Weber After He Had Talked With Victim’s Sister. In a fight caused by attentions paid by Joseph Treybal, a married man to Miss Lena Weber, 17 years old, last night Fred Weber, a brother of Lena, was shot three times and seemingly fatally wounded by Treybal, who sur- rendered at the Soulard Street Police Station. The shooting occurred in a yard in the rear of 1004 Allen avenue into which Treybal had been pursued by Weber. Treybal and his friends say that Weber was armed with an ax, but members of the Weber family deny this. Treybal told the police that on his way from work to his home at 1861 South Tenth street he met Lena Weber at Ninth and Allen avenue and stopped to talk with her. John Weber, the girl's brother, ran up to them and reproached Treybal for speaking to the girl. The men quarreled and Weber escorted his sister to their home at 1912 South Tenth street. A few minutes later, Treybal says, he went to the Weber home to explain that he meant nothing wrong by stop- ping to talk to the girl. He was met at the gate by Fred We- ing placed there is always the that the clay may come from edie a edge of the shell at the bottom bury the workers. The diameter of the holes is 6 linches.

At 1004 Allen avenue he turned into a hall and entered the rear yard. As Weber advanced upon him there he turned and drew his revolver. After firing three shots he jumped over a fence and went at once to the Sou- lard Street Police Station, five blocks away. Weber is at the City Hospital. He is a teamster and Treybal is a shoeworker. Treybal told the police that he has been separated from his wife several months. Two bullets lodged in Weber's chest and one in his right hand. CHILD SWALLOWS STOVE POLISH AND NEARLY DIES

Rockefeller business reverses for which he holds John D. responsible, newspaper comments. at first curtly re- fused to see the reporter. ~But finally when convinced that the Post-Dispatch and World simply de- sired to place some important facts be- fore him, he consented to an interview, etipulating through his private secre- tary that it must be brief. It lasted an hour, hg@wever, and was followed by other interviews in which Mr. Rockefeller talked at length. The interview , secured ‘hut time appears e'sewhere. In subsequent interviews, the broth- voiced by him in the first talk. Among nothing could be clearer than the fact that if John D.’s father was still alive and hidden away it was because John D. so willed it. The next discovery of importance In from Strongville, the little Ohio village where the elder Rockefeller once lived and where several of his old cronies are still to be founu, This discovery was that ‘old Rockefeller—the title by D.’s father wae known to his intimates —had been In Cleveland in September, 190. He suddenly appeared at Forest Hill, John D.'s fine home, and the old pals of his Strongville days were in- vited to © »nd an afternoon with him. They were all there. Webster, “Joe” Davis and half a dozen more men of advanced years who were nearly half a century ago. The ‘“‘Rocke- feller reunion,” the Strongville ancients call it, was kept strictly quiet. Cleveland pewspapers were in the dark, and only the Invit«. guests were in the secret. All stories agree as to “Doc” Rocke- feller’s appearance an. behavior at this reunion. He had grown inemunseneiy stout and bothering him.” man. srofane, independent and jovial, ee bye, however, they had learned abso- lutely nothing of hig “*. and had no clew to his place of secret residence. Only one of the guests had the courage to put the question squarely. ‘‘Say, ‘Doc,’ where are you living now?’ And Rockefeller’s answer, emphasized by a wink anda '--~, was typical of the strange man. brothers, embittered by and angered by Tarbell article and the resulting “Camping Over There.” “Well, my boy,” he replied, “I’ve been camping close to a lake over there,” pointing northwest with a sweep of his ponderous arm, “and let me tell you that the lake is chock full of shirttail swans, worth $ apiece in the New York market. It’s gréat.’’ Immediately after the reunion at For- est Hill haif a dogen persons saw Wil- liam A. Rockefeller in a carriage with his son, Frank, driving through the streets of Cleveland. All describe him as enormously fat and unwieldy in his movements, as though afflicted with rheumatism. His broadcloth «,at with silk faced lapels was tgrown back from a low cut waistcoat. The bosom of his white shirt was spotilessly clean and the dia- mond that blazed in its center was: a big one. He wore a silk hat at a rakish angle and watched the passing crowds in Euclid avenue with sharp interest. Watching John D.’s Confidential Man. A close watch was placed upon William Humiston of Strongville, a son of old William Rockefeller’s sister, and John D.’s faithful henchman. It was reported that William Humiston was the one man of the Rockefeller family who held the secret of the old man’s whereabouts. Humiston\_is John D.’s -confidential man in farming affairs and his daughter was for many years the paid companion of Mrs. May Rudd, John D.’s only sis- ter. The watch upon Humiston only dis- covered that Humiston was playing & game. It was said that Humiston launched the false report that John D.'s father was in Cedar Valley, Iowa. One of his Strongsville neighbors openly asserts that Humiston told him “the old man” was hiding in Missouri. By others it was said at Humiston located ‘“‘Doc”.. Rockefeller in Kansas, Wisconsin and Texas. “House” Seen From Railroad. 4 One Strongsville man, eight years ago, from him at of John D. reiterated every charge business men in Cleveland search for John D.’s father came Met Old Friends at Joha D.'s. *“Doc”’ which John “Uncle Joe” close chums of the elder Rockefeller The e told hie old pals that “his feet were But he was the same wit was as keen as ever, and he avitle toe Big Aude calyet aaron whieh

cago & Northwestern Rajlroad through Iowa had seen what was described to him as old ‘‘Doc’’ Rockefeller’s home. The train reached a point somewhere between the towns of Clinton and Cedar Rapids. Pointing to the north of the track the conductor said: “Do,you see that little farm? Well, it is old ‘‘Doc’’ Rockefeller’s, You must have seen him when he lived down in Strongsville.”’ Every farm house, from Clinton on?fore the death of John D.’s the Mississippi, westward along the Northwestern tracks, to far west of Cedar Rapids, was visited, and the in mates questioned. None had heard of the elder Roékefeller. Hospitals and sanitariums throughout the Middle West were visited and the picture of William A. Rockefeller shown to doctors, nurses and attendants. All in vain. One of the earliest “tips’ was that John D.’s father, imbecile through age, was stored away in a secluded san- itarlum, not many miles from Cleveland. The ‘‘tip’’ failed on investigation. A business man of Cleveland who stood — to Frank Rockefeller than anyone made the following statement to the Post-Dispatch and World reporter: “Tl would help you if I could, because the public is clearly entitled to the facts you seek. But I am powerless, Granddaughter Does Not Know, “The hiding place of his father is the one secret Frank Rockefeller has withheld from me. He has flatly re- fused to tell me. He has also refuseg to tell his own children. “I was present one day in his office,” continued the informant, ‘‘when Frank's daughter begged him to tell her where the grandfather lived. “He refused flatly.’’ The same reticence is being shown by Mrs. Mary Rudd, John D.’'s sister. Women who have been in her fullest confidence have vainly tried to draw her father’s secret from her. “She is open and frank and ever con- fiding,”” said one of the closest friends “But on the subject of her father no one has ever heard her say one word. I have ssen her weep fat the mention of his name, but the seal of sHence'is ever on her lips. “From studying her closely I have reached a conclusion the father is

LL Frank, but in Some isolated corner of the great State, living with a caretaker under an assumed name.’’ Among the men and women Cleveland and its suburb, Strongs- ville, who know the Rockefellers per- sonally and are familiar with the family history, there is this opinion as to why William A. Rockefeller re. mains in hiding; it is that he married again without the formalities of a divorce and be- mother and that out W est, under a new name, he has reared a second family. There is evidence to show that the Old man did “go west” long before his wife's death, in 1889. For years before that he used another name when absent from Cleveland and Strongsville. Even his wife in writing to him, employed the fictitious name. of Se. ee ee a a ea © 5 Samalbaeees ‘be 33 2--e eae

By Gus C. only one. I have asked him to permit me to the son refuses. No matter what the cause of this en- mity, it must have culminated within the past five years. At the time there was a family reunion at the Rockefeller home in Cleveland and ‘‘Doc’’ Rockefel- ler, the father, was on hand. When it came time for the old man to go away it was his son Frank who was his com- panion. Just where they went is not known positively, but from that day un- til the present moment the exact where- abouts. of Doc mogheteller have beon @ secret. Refuses to Explain Secrecy. I have agked Frank Rockefeller why he is keeping his father in hiding, and at this time. In a statement he made nearly a year ago to a representative of the J’ost- Dispatch and New York World, Frank Rockefeller said that once the true should become known, that the people would arise and drive John D. Rockefeller out of the country; also that the reasdn why he, Frank, would not make public the old man’s address was because of his father’s per- sonal request. I have traveled many thousand miles trying to locate ‘‘Doc’’ Rockeféller. I have not succeeded thus far. But I can- not but believe that he is alive some- where under guard, or maybe that he has remarried and raised a family of other children, who do not know that they are+related to John D. Rockefeller. There was a report that he lived in Iowa. The Post-Dispatch and New York World searched in every county in the State, as weli as in Kanaas, without getting any trace of the missing man. I have traveled South as far as San Antonio, and north to Duiuth. I have visited every place in Wisconsin where, I thought trace might be had of the man, but with the same results. Frank Rockefeller knows where his father is, bit he won't tell now. Uis own wife and daughters do not know nor his sister. As to John D., all he will say about his brother’s action is: “Poor, misguided trother Frank, and when he was a baby I carried him in my arms. Some day, maybe, after I am dead, the world wil] learn to un- derstand me, not now. Poor brother Frank, I bear no enmity toward him.” Johan D. Would Not Tell Friend. I spoke to a friend not long ago who had spent considerable time in John D. RNockefeller’s ecorpany while he was abroad visiting his invalid daughter. ‘The subject came up for discussion only once,” said my friend, “John D. told me that the man referred to in Miss Tarbell’s article was not his father, but that this man had died in Iowa within a year or more. He said that his father was still alive and in good health. But where he was, that time John D. did not say, whether because of his ina- bility to do so, or not If don’t know.” Because Frank Rockefeller knew where hig father was to be found I went to Cleveland. At his office in the Gar- field Building I was told that he had gone to Kansas. I left for that state the same afternoon. It was shortly be- fore sundown on & Saturday evening when I reached Soldiers Creek ranch, the Kansas home of Frank Rockefeller and situated about one mile from Bel- videre depot proper. I had driven up to the outer gate which was but a short distance from the main dwelling on the ranch. A herd of buffalo was grazing near by. The farm hand who met me at the gate told that “Mr. Rockey”’ had gone to the North Creek,

This was in the days of his mysteri- ous absences from home. Where is William A. Rockefeller, the father of John D. Rockefeller? There is at least one person who can answer, and he claims to be the I have seen him, but he refuses to answer. Rockefeller of Cleveland, youngest brother of John D. As the result of an investigation lasting several months, I am convinced that John D.’s father is alive. Where is he? is yet an unsolved mystery. Why his whereabouts have been made such a profound mystery is a riddle which Frank Rockefeller alone can explain. made clear that there exists today between John D. and his brother, Frank, a hatred the like of which the world has seldom known. rman of about 60 years. I had never Roeder. This man is Frank clear the memory of his father, but He refuses to do so, but it is Everybody I met in that part of the country referred to Frank Rockefeller only as ‘‘Rockey.”’ Employes Had Never Seen “Doc.” I questioned the farm hand in a cas- ual way but sdon discovered that he knew absolutely nothing about his em- ployer’s father, except what he had read in the daily prints. Where he was he could not tell me. He had never laid eyes upon: him and had never heard “Rockey” speak of him. Half an hour later, an open wagon drove up. There were six men in it and one was Frank Rockefeller, the brother of John D,, the very man who held the key to the mystery I had trav- eled day and night to solve. After Rockefeller had alighted I stepped up and said: “Mr. Frank Rockefeller?’’ “I am Mr. Frank Rockefeller,”” came the prompt reply; ‘‘what do you wish?’’. “IT handed him my letter of introduc- tion frbm the managing editor of the Post-Dispatch, and I could not help no- tice how the “man’s face took on 4 frown that seemed to grow with every moment. Rockeféller, I noticed, to be a met him before. Short, stocky and with a lock of determination on his sunburnt face. He wore a heavy corduroy suit with the coat lined with sheepskin. He had on a dark soft felt hat. His heavy gray mustache appeared to have been close cut but a short time ago, and in all probability by himself. “Why do you come all this way to" see me?’’ demanded Mr. Rockefeller. I explained my mission in detail, say- ing “The letter you hold in your hand tells you why I have come to see you. I first went to your office in Cleveland and there I was told that you had gone to your ranch in ee so I just came out here.”’ “What do you want me to do for you?’ said Mr. Rockefeller, “I have nothing to say on the subject you want to know about. ‘“‘Where is your father?’ “IT refuse to tell you,” snapped Frank Rockefeller. “Why do you refuse?” I asked, “there ought to be no secrecy about it.” “Just because I have nothing to say,”’ was the reply. None Protects Father’s Name. “But,” I pleaded, “Mr. Rockefeller, here is your father, an honorable gen- tleman who in public prints has been rcferred to as a quack, an imposter, a faker, a horsethief and much worse that that. Don’t you think it is strange that not a single person, cer- tainly not a Rockefeller, has come to the front and publicly denounced these statements as false?” Mr. Rockefeller remained silent and continued to stare at his questioner in an uneasy manner. “It is because of these ,.unwarianted statements and because of this unex- piained silence,” I continued, “that the Post-Dispatch comes to your father and to you and offers both its columns.” “My father is not here,” interrupted Frank Rockefeller. “T believe that,’’ I said, “but I don’t know where to find the ol@ gentleman, and therefore can’t make an offer of the Post-Dispatch’s coiumns to him.” “Why don’t you ask my brother John” asked Mr. Rockefeller?’ “Why go to him when you have told us that you are the only person’ who knows where your father is. and when you have assured us that your father does not want to have his son

Bes i The acceptance to the invitation issued from:the office of At- torney-General- Hadley, who has been exceedingly successful in his suits against the Oil Trust and for the enforcement of railroad rate laws, has been general and a good attendance is expected. The fact that most of the trusts which the attorneys-general of the States are seeking to convict operate in most of the States and that the suits are siniilar in character, offer an excellent opportunity for concerted action. An arrangement for the interchange of ,evidence gathered bit by bit by the va- rious prosecutors as to ownership and unfair business methods is the most obvious object of such a concerted action plan. The plan outlined in the call for this conference is a prospective national meeting of State Attorneys-General; the drafting of more uniform State laws; the simultaneous filing of suits against the same offenders and concerted action against the many subsidiary companies established in the various States for the pyrpose of keeping up the appearance of trade competition. OFFICIALS TELL HOW THEY'D BUST THE TRUSTS a

N view of the importance of the conference of Mississippi Val- ley “‘trust busters’’ in St. Louis tomorrow, the Post-Dispatch offered the several Attorneys-General use of its columns for a presentation of individual opinions as to the benefits to be derived from the conference and the best plan for effeetive action. Sev- eral opinions follow: UNITED ACTION AND DRASTIC LAWS. By JEWEL P. LIGHTFOOT, Assistant Attorney-General of Texas, Who Will Represent That State. To the Editor of the Post-Disatch. : The meeting of the attorneys-general of several states for the purpose of k@eping these departments in close touch with each other, in order that goncerted action may be taken against trusts and monopolies, operating in the several states. The strength of the Government, both State and national, is required to protect the people from further encroachment by concerns which are grad- ually acquiring all wealth-producing industries of the country. The door of opportunity is being closed to individual effort and unless the industrial com- binaions are permanently dissolved we will be a nation of hired men in a few more years. : : I believe that the several states can accomplish the destruction of monpolies within their borders by simultaneous prosecutions in every State where the concerns operate. Sach department can furnish the other with all the evidence in its possession and legislation can‘be secured by closer relation between the law departments of the several states. Every State should enact laws making it a felony to violate the anti- trust laws. I shall propose a statute to be introduced in the legislatures of all the states, prohibiting the granting of a charter or permit to any corporaion, any stockholders of which ever held stock in any other corporation convicted of violating the laws; each stockholder being required to file affidavit to that ‘effect before a charter or permit is granted. This will prohibit convicted corporations from reorganizing after conviction. When the stockholdes abuse the franchise granted by the Government the right to hold any franchise whatever at the hands of the Government. By perfecting an organization of the attorneys-general of all the states, and uniting all their powers into one force, we hope to render some sub- stantial service in protecting the rights and liberties of the people. WILL SOLVE PROBLEM OF EVIDENCE. By R. V. FLETCHER, Attorney-General for Mississippi. As I see it, the conference of attorneys-general may profitably consider two convictions. Speaking for Mississippi, I am satisfied that our anti-trust laws are com- prehensive enough for all practical pur poses. It but remains to enforce them as written. Here lies the problem—ho w can evidence of violation be secured. The present conference ought to be of great value in solving this problem. have unearthed should become the common property of all. By co-operation in the exchange of ‘Legislatures should be induced, if po ssitle, to loosen the purse strings and equip the law officers with funds suffi cient to hunt for evidence. _ In Mississippi especially the work of the Attorney-General is handicapped eral are to grapple with the trust so me sinews of war must be forthcoming.

Sheriff Herpel said yesterday that he was not worried about the possible ef- fect of the derelict officials which is in effect today. He says he will continue to interpret the law as he has in the past and to do his duty as te sees it, regardiess of the new law. che Jaw is understood to hive been fashioned to enable Gov. Folk to get at him and other officials of St. Louis County who are charged by their critics with a lack of diligence in enforcing the dramshop and Sunday ¢losing laws. The Sheriff would not say whether he would raid the “‘lid-lifting’’ clubs to- day. “T have not decided what I will do,” he told a Post-Dispatch reporter. “Of course We will keep the lid on saloons, as we have been doing. I may do something amout the clubs, but I think it will be best for the people to wait and see what we do.’”’ Prosecuting Attorney Johnston was not at his office Saturday. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Mills said he thought the Prosecuting Attorney's of- fice was conscientiously doing every- thing possible to put the “‘lid’’ clubs out of business. He said he does not fear the effect of the new law. If there is any blame to be attached to anybody in the county because the clubs are permitted to run, he says the Sheriff's office may know something about it.

DOG SAILS AWAY ON BALLON’S TAIL Grimly Hanging to Big Paper Bag “Sprig” Is Soon Lost in Cloudland. McKEEVER, N. Y., Aug. 10.—Some- where in the forest is a well-bred bull- dog hunting for a home. That is, he is hunting unless he has found one or has died. The chances are in: favor of the latter. . The dog, whose name is Sprig, was the property of S. W. Young until he took a flight into the clouds by cling- ing to a hot-air balloon. When last seen he was hanging on like a> trick aeronaut and was proceeding over the forests with no idea of letting go. Mr. Young has a bungalow six miles east of here, where, on July 4, he en- tertained some city guests. During the evening he sent up some fireworks, but an immense balloon of paper was over- looked. Paper Balloon to Blame. This was later found and early this week Mr. Young prepared it for flight. As it looked as though there would be considerable wind that night he tied a short rope underneath the fire box and to this attached a bit of wood. In this way he expected to steady the balloon until it was cleat of the trees. About 9 o’clock in the evening the tin fire’ box under the balloon was filled with cotton and the cotton soaked with alcohol. When all was ready the al- cohol was ignited and socn the big bag began to fill with hot air. It tugged at its mooring, swayed from side to side'and careened this way and that until. Mr. Young cut it loose. Just at that moment the hired man “sicked” Sprig on the balloon. He said afterward that he did it just to see what the dog would do. He found out. Sprig made one dive for the paper bag, missed it and caught the bit of rope in his teeth. His jaws tastened an instant later on the wood beneath and he began pe shane the cross-piece as he would a Dog Was Tenacious, Mr. Young ‘was horrified. or an in- stant he stood speechless. Then he shouted to the dog to let so. But Sprig Wasn't that kind of a dog. His breed- ing told hfm to nang onto anything he once laid jaws to, and he clung to the stick as though his life depended on it. In the mean time the balloon headed north by west, and borne by a strong wind, grew smaller and smaller until it was a mere speck among the 8tars. The g’s owner had no idea how long his‘ pet would be able to hang on, but he believed he would land safely, and next orning he started out to find Sprig. It would be pleasant to re- late that he found him, but he didn’t. Although the search was conducted for three days, not ing was seen of the dog. and no one living in the woods can give a clue as to his whereabouts.

ST, JOSEPH GUARDSMEN ARE OFF FOR ENCAMPMENT

, —

Start and Slow One La» “e 4 First Regiment and Battery A Make Military s Are Left Behind— Maj. O’Meara Misses Train.

‘Col. Spencer’s First Regiment and Capt. Rumbold’s Batter A made a prompt military start for the encamp- ment of the Missourl!l National Guard at St. Joseph from Union Station last night, their special train pulling out ex- actly on time and leaving behind offi- cers and men who had not obeyed or- ders to.the letter. If the opening day of the encampment were pay day this military feature of the departure would not be appreciated by the citizen soldiery, for one of the officers who did not catch the train was Maj. John B. O’Meara, former lieuten- ant governor, now paymaster of the Missouri brigade. But pay day doesn’t come until late next week and, as Maj. O’Meara caught another train later in the night for St. Joseph there will be no financial complications. Maj. O’Meara Left Behind. Maj. O'Meara, not being a regimental officer, was not guilty of disobedience of orders in failing to appear at 8 p. m. He merely received incorrect informa- tion from an unofficial souree. He made the trip with the Sixth unattached battalion of the Missouri National Guard composed of Southeast Missouri companies, instead of with Col. Spencer and the St. Louig officers whose guest he was invited to be. A few enlisted men with heavy blankets strapped about them were noticed among the crowd at Union Sta- tion after the regiment left. They were the warmest looking individuals about the midway. But they were forced to go home and wait for special trans- portation to carry them to their come rades in arms. Lieut. Nelson A. Goodspeed, Third Cavalry, U. S. A., on recruiting duty at Jefferson Barracks, accompanied the St. Louls officers to camp. He will act as Adjutant of the First Regiment during the encampment. Four hundred men were in the regi- ment’s detachment and about seventy- five in the battery’s section aboard the special train last night. ‘The organiza- tions formed at their respective ar- | mories earlier in the evening and mafched to the station, being compli- mented en route on their fine appear- ance. = Col.

FX-GOV, JOHNSTON PETTUS SUCCESSOR Only Man to Be Elected to U. S.

Senate From Alabama by Unanimous Vote.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 10.—Jos- eph J. Johnston, who has been elected to succeed the late E. W. Pettus in the United States Senate, is the only man in the history of Alabama to receive the entire vote of the Legislature for that office. The present assembly of the Legisla- ture has elected four United States sen- ators. At the beginning of the session Senator Pettus and Senator Morgan were chosen. Senator Morgan died soon afterwards and Senator Bankhead was elected to succeed him. Then Senator Pettus died, making another election necessary. Senator Johnston has been a leading figure in the public affairs of this State

‘a a quarter of a century. He was born County, North Carolina, in and came to Alabama before he was years old, enlisting at that age in Eighteenth labama Regiment of Confederate Army, and _ serving Civil War. At the end he had risen to the rank in Lincola 13243. 17 the the throughout the ” the rebellion of Captain. After the war he studied law and was admitted to the bar. His services in the “Black Belt” of Alabama first brought him into public notice. In 1896 he was elected Governor of the State, having previously made two un- successful races for the nomination. In 1898 he was renominated for Governor without opposition, and was elected by a large majority over the fusion candidate. He was an advocate of the free coin- age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. But in 1902 a new issue arose in the State— the ratification of a new constitution— ind he was put forward as a candidate for Governor on an opposition plank, but was defeated at the primaries. Senator Johnston is recognized as one of the most powerful public speakers of the South. He is a great letter writer and is considered to be of a cool and jndicial temperament. NEW STATE FARMERS HAVE GRAIN WORTH TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THEIR BINS Assessors’ Returns Show That Much of Last Year’s Crop Is Still in Hands of Growers. GUTHRIE, O. T., Aug. 10.—The fact that all indications point to higher grain markets than usual during the ensuing year makes of interest the fact that the farmers of Oklahoma held over from last season grain valued at $2,536,956. These figures are obtained from the report of the Oklahoma State Board sof Equalization and were turned into the Roard by various assessors through- out Oklahoma. Instructions were given them ahead of time to be exact in ob- taining their data, and the figures are considered reHable. The assessed val- uation of this grain amounts to $634,239, er one-fourth the actual va'ue, the basis on which practically all Oklahoma prop- erty is assessed. From the fact that the counties hav- ing the largest amount of grain left over are those in the wheat belt, it may be taken that more wheat than any other grain was held, also because last

season the farmers were not satisfied with the ruling market. Those who held their wkeat will profit greatly.

New Resort at Tenth and Bid- dle Has No Parallel for Popularity.

There is one place in St. Louis where — the very farthest extremes of this queer world’s life have met at last, with no questions asked. Bond or free, race, color or creed—none of these things — matters at the new public bathhouse, — out at Tenth and Biddle streets. There, — as nowhere élse in all the teeming city, — is proof that St. Louls th the home of many peoples. are Can you fancy a sharper human con- trast than this, for instance? Under — one of the showers, naked, is an aged e Phas Jew, the very picture of the patriarch :: : of the ancient faith, his untrimmed beard and matted hair, thin an¢d grizzled by the years, drip 5 ee The bath is no mere luxury of the — body for him; it is a holy ceremony—a — cleansing of the soul no less than of — es the body. His eyes closed, his face up- turned, his lean arms uplifted, he — kneels, rocking back and forth, recit- ing aloud a Hebrew prayer. 3 ype Mingling of Races There, : And there In the next bath Is a round- bodied bit of a pickaninny, black and shiny as a new shoe, capering, dane- ing, tumbling, shrill with sheer ani- — mal delight as the cold spray tickles ~~ his bare skin, his gleeful cries making — a strange running accompaniment for — the stately, rythmic chant. 2 That was but one of the odd extremes seen on the opening day. Outside the baths, in the ante-room, ¥ the *Iswarming youngsters afternoons to await their turns, the — contrasts are many. Name a race that wasn't represented, and you may take the money. Only two marks stamped — them in common: grime—and eagerness. — Every bath was full Saturday after- — noon, and 60 little shavers stood in line outside the closed doors, scuf their bare feet, jostling for “place,” hot with Impatience for the word that would admit the next Installment to the unace customed enjoyment. Greek, Italian, — negro, Irish, German, French, Amerie can—they were ali there, sweating, grine ning and scolding at one another fp: strange tongues. Some Brought Soap. e Those who we best favored by fore tune carried a tiny scrap of soap and a square foot of torn rag for & Most of them had no such | an showed’ a fine scorn for the poor moliye coddles. — - What businescs had a toweled aris- tocrat in this gathering, even ih his towel was but a strip torn from the — tail of dad’s old shirt? The real dem- ocrats came out.of the bath dripping, dressed dripping, and sat dripping along the edge of the curb till the kindly sum had dried them. Ye Sates There were plenty of “repeaters” im the boys’ gang Saturday. One litt) Irishman on the sidewalk boasted thet he had been in twice since noon and that he expected to double this record before supper time. | Be “It’s dead easy,” he sald. “All you got to do is rub some dirt on your face, and down your legs, and they'll © — let you in—if none of the kids squeals on you.” s The fame of the bath has spread : far and wide in St. Louls. Not the ghetto district alone, but every nook ts and cranny of the big city has sent fits. delegations. The newsboys have helped to pass the word around among their — street mates; and from the far corners, — north and south, these favored chaps have appeared, “flipping” their Car rides, and dropping off before the door, — The. spotless cleanliness of the place — has made. ite fame. The showers at Mullanphy Playground have been al- most deserted. The new porcelain, and the polished nickel are so shiny, and i” the big, cool room smells so good, so — sweet and fresh! They know cleanti- ness when they see it, do these urchins, That’s why those in charge are deter- mined that the place shall be kept just But the bath is not merely a play place for the children. It is @ le luxury for the laborers of the 7 bor- hood, who have dropped in by hundreds after their day's work—men of every race, ag mixed a lot as the boys them- selves, though they are not so hilesh ous about it as the youngsters, ie The numbers who came during the first two days were ten times as many ¥ as those in charge had expected, oy. Bie “We didn't expect more than Aifty on | the opening day,” said one of the at- ~~ tendants, “but we hed j ‘. eee don’t understand it. N

INDIAN. BEAUTIES WANT THE PRIZE Osage Nation Entering Strong Pro- test Against Their Girls Being Ruled Out of Contest.

COLLINSVILLE, I. T., Aug. 10.— Miss Mae Phet-sa-mole’s friends -are confident that she is the prettiest full- blood girl on the Osage reservation and they are counting confidentially upon her selection as a prize winner at the beauty show to be held here in October, if that tribe is permitted to compete. . Miss Phet-sa-moie lives ten miles west of this city, but is well known here, both socially and to the trades- men. Like most of the girls of her tribe, she is wealthy, and when she comes shopping, she buys such dresses and millinery as may strike her fancy, the price attached to, imported novelties being a minor consideration. She is a leader in charity work and has attended the best schools in the territory. During her vacations at home,. she lives in the fields and woods and wears the costume of the women of her tribe, that she may not be hampered in riding, fishing and hunting sports, Chairman J. H. Middleton of the Contest Committee, says that 14 Osage girls between the ages of 16 and 25 years have signified a desire to take part in the contest, but he is unable to stat® whether or not the Osages will be permitted to enter. He ex- pects a large delegation from the Osage country here to procest against their tribe being ignored. The possibility of winning a white husband as a prize beauty is attract- ive to all Indian girls. STEAMER PASSENGER DIVES INTO EDDY FOR HIS HAT

Turned Down Inner Band and Displayed $2000. STOCKTON, Cal., Aug. 10.—John Bra- din, a passenger on the down trip of the steamer Captain Weber. to San Francisco, performed a feat that sur- prised even old-time sailors. While the river steamer was running with the current and had just reached a point where the tide coming in met the river current and formed danger- ous whirlpools. Bradin’s hat was blown from his head. He was standing on the upper passenger deck, i6 feet ahove water. Without a second’s hesitation Bradin jumped overboard withoyt even remov- ing his coat. He swam back, and catching his hat in his teeth, swam ashore. After landing he walked down the bank and climbed aboard again. On reaching the deck some of the passengers began chiding him. They stated that they would never risk their lives just to pick up a hat, even if they were champion swimmers. Bra- din caused a lot of excitement by turn- ing down the inner band of his hat and displaying about $2000 in greenbacks of a large denomination. MAN WHO HAD THIEF ARRESTED HIMSELF HELD AS ROBBER Two Members of Light-Fingered Gentry Recognize Each Other in Jail. PARIS, Aug. 10.—Tastefully dressed, with a heavy gold chain across a bril- liant waistcoat, a man was jostied in the Boulevard St. Germain by a seedy-look- ing individual who immediately apolo- gized and then jumped onto an electric tram. The jostled party knew the game, and when he made sure that his watch and chain were gone he impressed a motor-cab amd soon overtook the tram. Then the seedy one Was arrested, and in his pocket was found the watch and

‘chain. At the police station the prose-

cuting witness was loath to give his When Companions Jibed Him He_ he caused the arrest, “I do believe have met before,’’ said the police commissary suddenly. “Am I mistaken? Samuel Mathias, I believe.”” And then the commissary felt in Samuel's pockets. Two other watches and a savings bank book for $500 which was not in his name were found. Sam- uel made a weak effort to explain that the two watches and tné bank book had just been left him by a deceased uncle, but the police would not have it that way, and from prosecutor he became a prisoner. All this time the first ther had been looking hard at the second. ‘Why, Sammy, not know me?” he cried at last. Sammy looked up. ‘Louis, by all that is wonderful!" “Of course it is. Don’t you remember Fresnes Prison, where we both did time?’ ‘Should think I did, old man,’’ and they talked of the old times they had done together. “Seems hard to have peen copped by a pal like you,’’ mused Louis. ‘You will never say that of me,”’ cried Samuel with spirit, and, turntng to the police of- ficer, added nob): “I refuse to prose- cute. I withdraw my charge. Kindly allow this gentleman to go free.’’ But the police have kept both of them.

R. (Mack) Ramsey, who lives about six miles from Lebanon. Mr. Ramsey has been aptly styled the Rus- sell Sage of Tennessee. Mr. Ramsey is now about 73 years old, and is hale and hearty. He be- gan life as a carpenter, and the same 4 simple rule, ‘“‘Save money,’ that has made John D. Rockefeller the richest man in America has made Mack Rani- sey the richest man in Wilson County. In those early, days of carpentering Ramsey would buy his own provisions and prépare hig own meals. While he always dressefi neatly, he would put the most industrious woman bargain hunter to shame. Sometimes it has taken years for him to find a suit of clothes that would exactly suit, price being the first consideration. He takes the very best care of everything. [It is said that even now when he buys a new pair of socks he darns them all over the foot to make them last longer with little strands of thread that he picks up in his visitings. His Cares for Shoes. When he buys new shoes he gets them with a three-quarter inch sole und fills these soles with round-headed tacks to kecp them from wearing out. He once walked to a neighbor’s through a deep snow and was very cold. They moved a chair in front of a huge fire such as they have only in farin- houses. It was noticed that Ramsey -@at with his feet on the rounds of the chair. When asked why he did not warm his feet he quietly remarked that he did not wish to burn his shoes. Once a member of the King’s Daur’a- ters, a charitable organization of the town, saw an old man trudging throush the snow on a terribly cold day with- out an overcoat and was so filled with pity that she reported the case to the circle. They were very much surprised to find that it was the wealthiest man in the eounty they wanted to help. How He Dodges Tall Gate. Ramsey has never owned a horse or any means of conveyance. He g2nersl- ly walks into town; occasionally he rides with some neighbor or borrows a horse which he hitches just before reaching the tollgate and walks into town to avoid paying toll. He is one of the most familiar figures on the streets here on first Mondays. Ramsey owns no real estate or per- sonal property; his money is all in notes. ill take only first mortgages on estate, one-third its value. In his private life he is upright. e¢ is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He once gave . O. MecClurkifi $1 and took this ‘Received of WiUlam R.

BITTEN BY ee CORD SAVES LIFE South Dakota Farmer Hunted Snakes as Pastime Until He Found This One.

SIOUX FALLS, 8S. D., Aug. 10.—S. S. Emerson, a shoemaker of Kadoka, One of the new towns on'the C ham- berlain-Black Hills «xtension of the !Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail- road, had an interesting adventure with some rattlesnakes, and nearly lost his life as the result of being struck by one of the reptiles. Emerson has a homestead 19 miles west of Kadoka, and while at the place he x gaa himself during idle moments in killing rattlesnakes, which had a den on a small knoll near his claim shanty. The knoli is fairly dotted with the reptiles. Em- erson had _ killed a number ofthe snakes and finally decided to go to his shanty and prepare his supper. While the méal was cooking he again went out with the intention of killing a few more of the snakes. Much to his surprise and alarm, how- ever, he did not notice a large snake concealed in the grass until he had stepped upon it. The snake made its presence kno to Fimerson by bury- ing one of its fangs in his right leg. Emerson did not lose any time in making his way to the home of a neighboring homesteader, where a strong cord was tied above and be- low the spot where the fang of the snake had entered. This prompt act doubtless saved his life. Emerson was hurried to Kadoka, where medic- al aid was obtained. Oo serious re- sults are expected, as the ane of the cord above and below wound prevented the poison from spreading through his system.

f Restrictions Were Removed the Tribes Would Fare Better, Says a Cherokee.

COLLINSVILLE, I. T., Aug. 10.—Dr. W. E. Smith of Collinsville, a Cherokee citizen by blood, who owns one of the largest orchards in the nation, says that his tribe is unanimously in favor of the removal of all restrictions placed upon their lands -by Congress. He said the fullbloods, who compose a very small percentage of the allottees, would be vastly better off with 10 or 20 acres of land; that the old fullblood knows nothing about agriculture, and will never learn how to farm. Cherokee fullbloods, as a class, live in small settlements by themselves, and cling to their old manners and cus- toms. They usually select a spot far removed from towns and white settle- ments, and there fish and hunt as in the days of their ancestors. Would Not Be Robbed. When asked if the fullblood Cherokees would be plundered and robbed by white men in the event of their restrictions being removed this winter, Dr. Smith replied: “I believe so-called grafters and land speculators would pay them a fair price for the land, because competition would be sharp, and the average Indian looks out for his own interests. It would not seriously hamper the fullbloods if their ‘“‘surplus’’ lands were confiscated alto- gether, because their rentals are usu- ally discounted in advance and they re- ceive practically no income from their lands. Congress Doesn't Understand. “It is unfortunate that Congress is in ignorance of the situation. It is only a matter of time when the fullbloods and their offspring must ‘root hog or doe,’’ The Indians can be made to un- derstand modern civilization only by ac- tual experience, and when Congress re- moves the restrictions against the sale of all lands, excepting homesteads, the fullbloods of my tribe will be ‘coped better off.’’ } SOUNTERFEIT BILL GETS FARMER INTO MUCH TROUBLE Friendly Merchant Changed It and Federal Officers Arrested Owner. PARIS, Tenn., Aug. 10.—A counterfeit $100 bank bill, restored to circulation after 40 years, got a Henry County man in serious trouble here, which may in- volve him with the Federal authorities. W. D. McFarland, a cobbler and tenant farmer living north of town, one day ufter banking hours presented a bill for $100 to a number of merchants, asking for change. Several were unable to ac- commodate hin, and one, suspecting the character of the bill, offered him change in Confederate money. However, Mc- Tarland at last found Elisha Littleton, a cattle buyer, who gave him five $20 bills for his money. Without seeking to keep his move- ments secret, McFarland took the next train going north and landed among his relatives at Elkton, Ky., where he was found and placed under arrest a few hours later by City Marshal Whar- ton of Paris, to whom Littleton made complaint when his bill was pronounced a counterfeit. McFarland readily agreed to come home and make amends to Littleton, refurding nearly all the money rereived for the bill, and the charge against him was not pressed. The bill is said to be the same that was found among the papers of the late Judge I. M. Hudson, who, when he found the character of the bill, put it away to prevent its circulation. The bill is of the issue of the Central bank of New York, of 1864, and was detected and pronounced counterfeit a year later. NEGRO PREACHER WANTED BOSSY DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 10.~J. S.

Com- plaints to my office showed that the certificates were purchased under the misapprehension that they were shares of stock In the company. Has No Stock, ‘‘A mutual company cannot, of course, issue stock. “The town mutual law, which I en- deavored to have repealed at the recent session of the Legislature, permits the members of the company to guarantce policyholders and thereby create a guar- antee fund. “But the money so collected must be deposited with the Superintendent of In- surance. In the case of the Town Mu- tual this requirement was only partially complied with. The company proposed to sell guarantee certificates to the amount of $100,000. They have already disposed of about $60,750. Of this amount only $17,500 is on deposit at my office. “Recently I sent one of my assistants to the Town Mutual's office to make an investigation of the books. The resu? was so unsatisfactory on account of the condition of the company’s accounts that I decided to place J. W. Daugherty under oath to ascertain the facts. He could not or did not explain the where- abouts of the $43,250, “In réponse to questions as to wheth- er he paid dividends on the guarantee certificates Mr. Daugherty’s memory was very hazy. He said that he thought he paid some dividends, and when asked if his books would show what he paid he answered that he had kept no record of the dividends, “His testimony was most disappoint- ing and I decided to refer the whole matter to the Attorney-General for ac- tion. “I dislike to make these matters pub- lic, the company’s officials declaring that I am injuring their business. At the same time I feel that I have given them ample opportunity to straighten out their affairs, and, besides, the pub- lic is probably entitled to know the acts. “There is no prejudice on the part of the Insurance Department aga‘nst this company. On the contrary, some of my warmest personal friends are cannected with it. David Glenn, presicent of the First National Bank of Cape Girarde2u, and other well-known citizens of that locality are prominently associated with the Town Mutual's affairs.’’ PACKING HOUSE MEN OBJECT TO EMPLOYMENT OF JAPANESE Claim Move by Employers Is De- signed to Stop Formation of Unions. WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 10.—There is considerable feeling, not only among the union men, but also among others, on the importation of Japanese laborers to this city. The union men are up in arms, and while no action has as yet been taken in the matter they are pre- pearing to enter a protest shouid the impertation continue. The expressions of the union men in talking of the im- portation of the Jans for employment in the Cudahy packing pliant uneni- mously condemned the action. The union men declare that there !s not a shortage of labor in the country at present, and that the packers could pe omy men were they willing to pay .a Uving ware to their employes. It is further charged that the object of the packers in importing tne Japs was to disrupt the developing. unions of the packing-house emploves. The employes of the local packing houses, as well as those at the plants in Kansas City, St. Joseph, Omaha and other Western cities have no union, but have, during the past few months, been actively engaged in trying to for- mulate an organization. It is claimed that the packers are against this move- ment and are employing the Japs with the idea of keeping down the wage scale and in overflowing the plants with cheap labor. QUILTS WHEN 100 YEARS OLD Kansas Woman Sets a Record as a Needle-Worker. WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 1°.—Mrs. Myra McHenry of Derby is the owner of, @ brick-work quilt made by 4 woman who is now 103 years old. The quilt was made by Mre. Marv A. Boicourt when she was aged an even 100 years. Mrs. Boicourt lives at Moline, Kan., and Mrs. McHenry says she is in good health. She was born in Virginia in 1504.

Donald Napier was walking along the Avenue Marigny when a Mr. Thornton found some plausible pretext for ad- dressing him in English. Napier and Thornton walked along chatting behind a fashionably dressed man who let his sliver purse drop. Napier picked it up and handed it, to the stranger, who turned out to be Mr. Henry O’Brien, an immensely wealthy man,, who traveled up and down the earth, doing good to his less fortunate fellow mortals. Confidence begets confidence, was svon common knowleége that ‘Thornton had plenty of money, and Napier, not to be outdone, cashed a let- ter of credit for $1200, whereupon the tnree friends decided to dine together. In the course of the evening, having drunk freely, O’Brien wrote several checks for his poor brethren, and Napier handed his pocketbook to the other two to show his confivence in their honor. . In the Champs Elysees, O’Brien and Thorton began to dodge Napier behind the trees, just for a lark. Soon Napier was alone. His friends had forgotten to return the pockethook. ‘It was unknown to, or forgotten by, most people in Ireland that the il'us- trious Marshall MacMahon—at one lume president of, and greatest man in, France—had two sons buried in an Irish country graveyard. The fact was brought prominently under notice by a report of the Burial Board Committee of Cork District Council on the state of BalHntemple graveyard, in the course of which report it was stated two sons of the one-time President of the Freach Republic were there interred. Dr. O’Meara’s Career. Dr. O’Meara wes another Irishman whose name, like MacMahon’'s, is in- extricably bound up with Irench his- tory. He, Napoleons physician, accom- panied the fallen, Emperor into exile, in St. Helena. There, says a_ writer upon the famous surgeon, his fiery Irish nature soon brought him into col- lision with Napoleon’s jailor, Sir Hud- son Lowe. So dastardly did Lowe’s tyranny ap- pear to the great-hearted doctor that he determined to return to Europe and appeal to civilizdtion against the mar- tinet who was hounding the fallen Km- peror. His chivalry in doing so led to his being struck off the list of sur- geons to the royal navy. He had re- venge when he published his ‘‘Letiers from St. Helena,’’ epistles which lacerat- ed the feelings of the whole continent, England included. His sympathy with Irish affairs was always keen, and it is an eloquent fact that he died of a chill caught attending one of O’Con- nell’sa meetings. And on the subject of Irish doctors who figure in foreign history the same writer mentions the cases of U’Connor, physician to Sobieski, King of Poland, and George Marshall, who was sur- geon to Louls AIV. O'Connor, who had military as Well as medica) sxill, was present at tho battle of Vienna, wien the Polish King snatched Kurope from the mouth of the Turk. Highly emi- nent in his science was Marshall, who united the trade of barber with the pro- fession of surgery, as was the ancient custom. The irony of their story is felt, nevertheless, in the circumstance that while they put their faith in kings, they were left to die in obscure pov- erty. and it

Trade is becoming para- lyzed in that city. The various kinds of workers are standing stanchly by the strikers, and a steadiness and grit is be- ing shown by the men which astonishes trades unions elsewhere. Little or no blacklegging is to be found in Ireland. Cnglish trades unions are enthused to the point of loosening thelr purse- strings and aiding the Belfast men. One most pralseworthy work which the strike is doing for Belfast men is that through it they are ridding thern- seives of the insane and inane bigotry which bound them. They are becoming democratic—and the next step will be nationalism. Lindsey Crawford, the head of the Independent Order of Orangemen, who has done so much, in the past two years, to make Orangemen think, and to lead them toward natton- alism, has been addressing the strikers and their sympathizers, and has been received by them most enthusiastically.

DUBLIN. gets 10.--Although the isappearance of the Irish crow jew- els from Dublin Castle just before King Edward's visit caused a pro- found sensation, {tt now appears that it was not an uncommon thing for them to vanish. Very simple is the explanation of how jewels worth $200,000 could be taken from a safe in & room at the ‘castle which is gwuardea by two sentries day and night. The safes had been opened with a key. To fin@ out how that key was obtained and who got it kept the po- lice very busy for a week. Then they found out, suddenly dropped the question and became strangely re- ticent.. They had traced the jewels to London and to the shop of a pawn broker. The money lender told them that this was by no means the first time he had had them pledged and he showed records to prove it. Moreover, he inade no secret of the fact that he had taken them in pawn from a high Government official. This time that official was taken by surprise by the Kine’s suddenly anhounced visit and could not “raise the money to redeem them in order to restore them as formerly to their safe. Since then he has scraped enough ‘cash together and the jewels have been restored to the Castle. The scandal is being hushed up on ac- count of the important office held by the person who ho pawned the jewels. ASSAULTS OF WOMEN DUE

IMMORAL - _ Mrs. Holbrooke, an American Writer, Likes London Far Better. FINDS THE FRENCH RUDE Even the Street Gamin, She Declares, Has the Vices of the Man. PARIS, Aug. 10.—It has remained for Mrs. V. Holbrooke, a well-known writer and New York East Side Settlement worker, to discover that Paris is not gay. She insists that the French city has been meligned in that regard—un- derrated as to its vice and overrated as te its beauty. Paris, in fact, takes it- pelf sadly. Mrs. Holbrooke, who is making a tour of Europe collecting data, for a new werk on social questions, boulevards with Broadway, greatly to thelr @etriment. Apart from the boule- vards and one street in the Montmartre, she finds the city ag dull as a country town in America. Street Gamin Is Wistful. The chief indication of the city’s, life the sociologist finds in the street gamin. “He has a wistful look,’”’ says Mrs. “quite unlike that of the boys of London. You never hear a merry whistle or see a smiling, frank look. The boy has the vices of a man - and the physique ef a child.” The American woman is greatly sur- prised at the manner in which the take their pleasures, The classes that in New , Pleasures that are instructivo are con- e | tent here to sit in front of a cafe and gtare at the passersby. Londoner Is Happier. Mrs. Holbrooke says the Lendoner gets more out of life and that so far as prices are concerned London is the best | place fer the poor man. The Paris poor pay double for provisions. “England is destined to become the pleasure-ground of the world,” she con- tinued. ‘‘Paris is beautiful, but not so beautiful as it is supposed to be. Tin- gel hides cesspools. The people are grasping and tricky instead ef polite. And the shameless immorality is appal- ling. One hears of Paris vices, but the reality is worse than the most debased American mind could imagine.” Mrs. Holbrooke finds the Germans more cheerfil and polite than the French—more akin to the British. She condemns Berlin, however, and sees in Hamburg and Frankfort the real home cities. WAIF WORKS A MONTH TO MAKE BASKET FOR QUEEN Then Barbara Jeans Drives to Pal- ace and Delivers It to Servant. LONDON, Aug. 10.—A cab drove up to Buckingham Palace and a crippleu girl, holding a newly made basket nearly as large as herself, got out. She was Barbara Jeans, who was given an order by the Queen at the Queen’s fete at the Mansion House a month before and she was personally deliver- ing her basket. She was met at the door by a tall hall porter in royal livery, and she asked him simply, “‘Please, is the Queen at home?” ; “No, miss, Her Majesty is away,’ the hall porter replied. Barbara Jeans had forgotten that the - Queen was at Cardiff. But she handed the basket to the attendant and said, “Then, will you please give her this from me?” “Her Majesty wil) get the basket as goon as she returns.

INFEST EVERY URUPEAN COURT Abdul Hamid, Turkish Tyrant, Never Had an Hour of Peace. ALWAYS SEEING PLOTS Fven Quits Walks in Gardens When Detectives So Advise. ——w Ee BRUSSELS, Aug. 10.—Abdul Hamid, the tyrant of Turkey, who by intrigue and playing one power against the other has succeeded in keeping himself on the throne for 29 years, is probably one of the most unhappy monarchs in all the world. He is rightly called ‘“‘the sick man of Europe.” For, although he is physically able to take daily exer- cise in his private park when he is not afraid to venture out of the palace, he is but a shadow and the deep lines in his face betoken the constant worry that is upon his mind. Abdul Hamid has his personal spies in every part of the world, whose busi- ness it is to keep him and his secretar- les and chamberlains informed of plots against his life and the movements of the revolutionists, who ever and anon threaten to overthrow his rule, says Count Raymond de Monmoroccis, a Bel- -gian writer and traveler, who has just returned from a long sojourn in the Ottoman empire. Every day he gets reports from some of them, and it is his daily task to read them—and no easy task it ig at times Through all of the 29 years of his reign he has been haunted day and night by the fear of assassination. “Those who knew Abdul Hamid as I did, as a young man, would have great difficulty in recognizing him today, so marked has been the alteration in his appearance in late years,’’ says Count de Monmoroccis. Monarch Pitifuly Thin. “Below medium height and pitifully thin, he hardly seems to have a breath of life in his body. The change in the lower part of his face is most notice- able; his widened jaws, added to the hollowness of hig cheeks, giving him a most brutal appearance. Especially ap- parent is the cruel curve of the mouth, hardly visible when Abdul Hamid was in the prime of life. “Notwithstanding his physical condi- tion he follows the daily routine to which he has accustomed himself since his accession to the throne. He is always out of bed at 5 a. m., and after his bath, followed by a light breakfast, he begins his daily labor, which con- sists almost entirely in studying the reports from his spies. After luncheon he receives his secretaries and cham- berlains. His secretaries are overbur- dened with work; not with current af- fairs of state, but with matters per- taining to the Sultan’s personal safety. They are in constant communication with the Turkish spies abroad and re- ceive daily dispatches from those in Paris, London, Geneva and Cairo. Closely Guarded in Park. “As a rule the ~ultan remains closeted with his secretaries for two hours in the afternoon and then takes a walk in the Yildiz Kiosk (his palace park) accom- panied by three bodyguards. “At 6 o’clock the Sultan dines alone and afterward begins anew the perusal of his secret reports and keeys at it un- til bedtime. “Such, under ordinary circumstances, is Abdul Hamid’s every-day life, but a radical change takes place when he gets alarming news, whether it relates to a direct plot to kill him or to the revolu- tionary campaign of the Young Turkish party. “No walk in the park then, no more siestas! At such times Abdul Hamid often gees 48 hours and more without closing his eyes, absorbed in devising measures to thwart his enemies.” PARTY OF 22 GYPSIES IS STRANDED ON HIGH MOUNTAIN Swiss Gendarmes Halt Them and Italians Prevent Their Retreat. GENEVA, Aug. 10.—Twenty-two gyp- sies, men, women and children, are stranded on the summit of the Grand St. Bernard Pass, $100 feet in height. They climbed up from the Italian side, and when they arrived at the top they found that a party of Swiss gen- darmes had been sent hurriedly up to bar their way into Swiss territory. As there were Itallan gendarmes on the other side, who would not allow them to go back into Italy, the gypsies could neither go forward nor return. The consequence is that, unless either the Italian or Swiss authorities con- sent to give way to them, the gypsies may die of exposure to the cold and want of food. The St. Bernard monks are doing their best for the gypsies by giving them food and clothing, but they can- not offer the party shelter In the hos- pice, as it is in Swiss territory.

The law in France concerning the privileges of the husband as hitherto in vogue dated baca to the Roman peri- od, and made the wife in many in- stances practically his slave. A drunk- ard or an idler backed by the law, was able to compel his wife to hand him over every penny she earned. The new.law is due in a great meas- ure to the untiring effort of two wom- en, Mme. Jeanne Schmahl and the Dow- ager Duchesse d’'Uzes, who long ago urged upon the legislators the need of this reform. The bill, voted before the adjournment of the Chambers, was introduced 13 years ago. AERONAUT FALLS 2000 FEET AND IS NOT KILLED Valve Burst in Midair and° His Worst Injury Is a Broken Leg.

LONDON, Aug. 10.—Novelist John Strange Winter (Mrs. Arthur Stannard) deprecates the assertion that the modern girl is losing her feminine charm be- cause her indulging in sports and pas- times increases the size of her hands and feet, and makes them masculine. She says: “There is no doubt that’ athleticism tends to widen ang make less beautiful the hands, feet and the whole person of our young women; but I do not know that they make less good wives and mothers on that account. “Cannot some prophet arise who will lead young people to see the advantage of moderation in all things? “T would counsel every one of my sis- ters, especially the young ones, to do everything thoroughly they do at all— to work well, play well, sleep well. It does not much matter about the size of the hands and feet. It will take a good many years before our girls will come up to the standard of the Venus of Milo in that respect. “As a last word, I would recommend them to avoid the pernicious habit of tearing about and letting themselves slip into that horrible way of reatiess- ness, which ts too apparent nowadays.

In that year tho total number of divorces was 1879. In 1904, just 20 years afterwards, it had risen to 14,692. The year 1904 is the last of which a record has been obtainable at the Ministry of Justice, but it is eertain the average has been steadily kept up ever since. by far the greatest proportion of di- vorces has been granted on the score of cruelty. Those divorces amounted in 1884 to 1477 and in 1904 to 10,597. In the last named yoar the divorces granted on the application of husbands for breach of what we call the Seventh Command- ment were 2304, those on the petition ot wives being 1507. In 1884 they had been 24 and 97 respectively. Then, whereas'in 18384 divorces, owing to the condemnation of one of the par- ties to “an Infamous penaliy’’ num- bered 60, In 1964 they had risen to 234. Besides these cases there are a good many separations, as the church does not sanction divorce, numbers of per- sons contenting themselves with sep- aration.

CTR VISITS HIS FIRST LOVE AND HER SONS - Russian Ruler Still Finds Pleaasure in Smiles of Actress. HE IS MAN OF MYSTERY ———— (Movements as Closely Guard- ed as Those of the Sultan. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.—Such ex- traordinary measures are taken to pro- tect the Czar that his appearance will presently be as little known to his peo- ple as that of the Chinese Emperor to his faithful subjects. His one pleasure in life at Peterhof, which he has just left, is a reversion to his early love. He drives frequently to the neoghbor- ing village of Skelna, ostensibly to visit his uncle, the Grand Duke Constantine, but here also is the home of Mlle. Kseskinskaya, the prima ballerina of the St. Petersburg Opera, with whom he was madly in love while hardly more than a boy. She Is Still Attractive. The beauty that was budding then is now mature in the woman of almost 40. but it has not lost @ts charm, and the two boys she bore the Czar are still his dearest treasures. The elder is now 17. Kseshinskaya refused several lucrative engagements this summer in order to be in Skelna. The Czar’s orbit has also touched that of another sentimental memory. Among his guests at Peterhof has been Grand Duchess Militzah, wife of the Grand Duke Peter. She was originally chosen to be the consort of the Czar, but her frivolities in St. Petersburg defeated this project. Czar Is Closely Guarded, She was a Princess of Montenegro, and now finds a sad enjoyment in cater- ing to the Czar’s mystical tendencies, and supplies him with his astrologers, soothsayers and saints. The police for 10 days before the Czar’s departure from Peterhof for the Gulf of Finland patrolled the roads, obliging the owners of villas to keep indoors, with windows tightly closed, on | the day of their ruler’s passing. Secret police were posted behind every hedge. QUEEN’S LETTER PROVED TO BE THIS WOMAN’S TALISMAN Traveled From India to London to See Victoria and Was Gener-— ously Received. LUCKNOW, Aug. 10.—A remarkable old native woman is living in a secluded part of the Karachi district in Sind. She is 70 years old, and one of her most cherished possessions is a letter written to her by the late Queen Vic- toria. Twenty-five years ago she went to England with the object of seeing the Queen, and she took with her a peti- tion to her Majesty written in Bng- lish. She arrived at Buckingham Palace just as the Queen was preparing to drive out. The woman expressed her desire to see Her Majesty, and ex- plained that she had come from India. The officials at the palace obtained permission for her to present the peti- tion, and the Queen then wrote a few words on note paper Dearing the royal water mark, to the effect that she had seen the Indian beggar, who was an interesting personage. When the woman returned t6 Sind she showed the Queen’s fetter to the local authorities, who presented her with a piece of land, which she has cultivated very diligently. She has more intelligence than the average village woman, and in spite of her old age she still rides a pony.

George Sweeny of Houston, Tex., threw a thrill into the St. Louis police last night when he told them how, in his opinion, they had missed a chance to solve a $50,000 diamond robbery and thereby earn a $10,000 reward. The Manchester Avenue Station offi- cers made Sweeny’s acquaintance last Thursday night, when Mrs. Gertrude Emery, who gave her address as Grand and Laclede averiues, filed a complaint charging that Sweeny had followed her from Houston to St. Louis, in the role of wooer, and that, upon being re- pulsed, had threatened to kill her. Sweeny was arrested. A razor L COUCH + GIRL WHO SLEW . today.

After spending several hours in a cell | Sweeny told the police that Mrs. Em- | ery, his accuser, could have given val- | uable information concerning a dia- | mond robbery committed at Houston last February. After a time spent in his cell, Sweeny told the police that Mrs. Emery, his ac- cuser, could have given some very valu- able information concerning the dia- mond robbery committed at Houston in February last, and which set the police of the country by the ears. A well-spoken tranger entered a Houston pawnshop * kept by another Sweeny (no kin to George and asked to be shown some diamonds. Several boxes and trays were set before him. After a brief examination, he said he would return presently with his wife and al- low her to make a selection. He left the shop, and soon afterwards the clerk discovered that a ‘‘dummy” tray had been substituted for one holding 293 dia- monds, worth $50,000. Sweeney said that on the day of the robbery he met Mrs. f&mery on the streets of Houston, clad in man’s at- tire; that a few days afterwards sh showed him a fine matched — pair of large diamonds, which she declared had been given her by her mother: that his suspicions wer aroused, so that he sat a watch upon her. He entered her home, he says, and found, in the bathroom, evidence that a wig and false mustache had been burnt partly to ashes in the washbowl. Fur- ther, he avers, he made a search of the rooms and in the hem of her skirt he felt ‘‘a number of small, hard sub- stences, which might have been dla- monds.”’ Then She Left Town. Soon afterwards, he says, she left town. He followed her to St. Louis. The climax came with his arrest eupon her complaint on Thursday, Excitedly the officers sought some verification of Sweeny's§ story. In their files they found a telegram from Chief of Police Ellis of: Houston, dated Feb. 19, giving details of the robbery as Sweeny had described it, and carrying the offer of a $10,000 reward. Besides this telegram the files held a printed circular confirm- ing the story, with more of circum- stance. 3 nae ee es es ong eter & ce ay: & s 4G : 4 id F 7 4 3 : ke HE DEAD?” ASKS

Theresa Sullivan Pleads on Hospital Cot for Truth All -Withhold. ——

Begging for someone to relieve the ter- rible mental strain she is undergoing by telling her that Michael Landis, the fian- ce she stabbed, is dead, so that woman- like she may cry, Theresa Sullivan Nes on her cot at the City Hospital in dry- eyed suspense. “Oh, for someone to tell me _ the truth, that he is dead. Everyone keeps saying I did not kill him, but something tells me he is dead. It is my love for him that whispers it to me.”’ Landis died 15 minutes after an ambu- lance brought him to the hospital, Fri- day night, the 20-year-old sweetheart having severed his jugular vein with a penknife. Nearly 24 hours had elapsea Saturday night without the fatal result of the blow she struck having been communicated to the girl slayer. With an almost death-like calm out of which her eyes shone with feverish radiance, Theresa’s low, musical voice chanted, rather than spoke, the swift events that led up to the fateful meet- ing at Penrose street and Broadway. ‘‘Mike thought that I had lied to him about going to my sister's Thursday night. It was a little fib my sister Emma and I made up so that I would not have to go that night with another girl I did not like. Emma told the girl I had gone to my married sister's house. Mike saw Emma and her beau at a show and asked for me. She repeated the fib to him without thinking. Untruth Unmasked. ‘“‘Mike went to my married sister’s and he found that I had not been there. He came back to the show and told Emma that he had not found me there, so he would not keep our engagement for Friday evening. Emma told me he said that I would have my head up in the air Friday so far as he was con- cerned.’’ “It made me feel awful to think that he doubted me when I loved him truly and no other. I made up my mind I would make him believe in me, so I went to hunt him. I took the knife only to scare him. I wouldn’t have killed him for the world. Tell me the truth, is he dead?’”’ “I saw him first coming across the street near Broadway and Penrose. I ran out into the street. He ran into a hallway. I followed him and found him with a crowd of young fellows who were drinking. I jerked his hat away and he ran after me. I kept the hat behind me. ‘He grabbed at me, look out for that hat.’ Then he crushed ine up to him. I had the knife in the hand nearest his body. His weight against me doubled up my arm _ s0 that the knife blade came against his eck. ‘* ‘Mike, look out,’ I said, ‘I’ve got a knife.’ I tried to wrench away from him and the blade cut him. I felt the warm blood spurt over my fingers. He shouted to one of the crowd, ‘Happy, hold her.’ Then he staggered and knew I had stabbed him. I ran with- out stopping to the Angelica Street Po- lice Station, crying, ‘Oh, what have I But tell me, is he dead?’’ Was Good to Her. “I do not love i.:ke for his looks, but because he was good to me. I am deaf and plenty of people used to make fun of me because I did not catch what they used to say. Mike alwaystookmy part and got angry. He was mean when he drank. He went with my sister, Emma, at first, then he beat her one day, but I didn't have anything against him for that.’ The body of Landis was taken to the residence of his father, John Landis, 1305 McLaren avenue, last night and will be buried from there Young landis had not lived at home for nearly one year. His father said that he did not know any- thing of his engagement to Miss Sul- livan and had never seen the girl. “My daughter, Mrs. Eugene Smith of Prairie avenue and Twentieth street, saw Miss Sullivan once when Mike brought her to the house. This daugh- ter is now prostrated at her residence over the tragedy. She insisted upon going to the City Hospital when she learned of the stabbing, but her brother was dead when she arrived there. I did not hear of the affair until late Friday night. From what I have learned Mike lay in a drug store on the corner: nearly three-quarters of an hour before a policeman appeared on the scene.”’ CAIN HELD FOR SLAYING FATHER Carroll Cain, the professional boxer who killed his father with a baseball bat, and who was charged yesterday with murder in the first degree, will be arraigned in court some day this week. He will plead not guilty and will ask to be released upon bond. A Coroner’s jury yesterday exonerated Cain and brought in a verdict that the homicide. But the prosecuting attor- ney declares that a Coroner's jury has no authority to pass upon the guilt or innocense of a person who causes the death of another. Its only duty is to inquire Into thé time, place and cause of death. Whether the killing was jus- tifiable or not is for a jury in the Crim- inal Court to determine in a trial. Associated Circuit Attorney Jones re- fused to take the verdict of the Coro- ner’s jury and, after reviewing the evi- dence in: the case, he placed a charge of murder against Cain and had him locked up. Cain killed his father in defense of his mother, Mrs. Maud Cain. The fath- er went home drunk and threw things saying ‘Teresa, done?’

The officers went gt once to the ad- dress given by Mrs. Emery at Grand and Laclede avenues. She had lived at this place for three weeks, they discovered; but on the day of filing her complaint against Sweenv she had disappeared, giving no hint of her plans or whereabouts for the future. The police have found no _ further trace of her. STRANGERFALLS IN FRONT OF CAR An unidentified man, about 40 years old, was knocked down by a street car at Sixth street and Broadway, East St. Louis, last night and probably fatally injured. His skull was fractured and his left arm broken. He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital and the police did not learn his name or address. He has dark gray hair and mustache and ts fairly well dressed. The man ran from the sidewalk ap- parently with the intention of boarding the car. Instead of waiting for it he seemed to stumble in front of the car and was knocked several feet, striking the paved street on his head.

out of the window and drew a revolver and threatened to kill his wife. Carroll |Cain, the son, came home at that time and killed his father. Cain says he feels no remorse for what he did. He says his father was brutal to him ever since he could walk and overworked, beat and abused him. For several years he supported the family by giving boxing exhibitions. Once when he had a broken rib he went into the ring to fight for a purse of $50, His op- ponent knew he had a broken rib and kept pounding him upon that spot. Cain suffered excruciating pain, but he knew that there was no money at home and he must have that $50, so he kept say- ing to himself, ‘““The money for mother and in the fourth round he knocked out his opponent and then he fainted. But he carried the $50 home to his mother.

TWO TRY TO DIE WHILE SUFFERING FROM HEAT a i.»

_ One Man Takes Muriatic Acid and Then At- tempts to Hang Himself--Woman Over-, come Changing Clothes.

Intense humidity caused great suffer- ing in St. Louis yesterday and last night. Many persons were affected by the heat and seven serious cases were attended to at :he main dispensary and the North and South branches. Other temporary prostrations were not seri- ous enough to be reported to the po- lice. In at least tw cases the effect of the heat caused spectacular attempts at suicide. Crazed from the effects of the intense heat, Edward Kubijchak, 3 years of age, a tailor living with his mother and sisters at 2346 Pope avenue, made frantic efforts to kill himself shortly after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. He first took a dose of muriatic acid and then attempted to hang himself from a transom. Before making his attempts. at self destruction the maddened man broke up over $100 worth of furniture in his home. Kubijchak was subdued by policemen and after being treated by a physician was hurried to the City Hospital where he is being kept under observation. His injuries are palnful but not serious, consisting of burns about his mouth and throat. Over a year ago Kubijchak showed signs of being demented, breaking up the furniture in his home and threaten- ing the lives of his mother and sisters. He was treated and to all outward ap- pearances had entirely recovered. It is presumed that the intense heat of yesterday affected his brain bringing back his mental troubles. Another Tries Suicide. Otto Burkhardt, 22 years old, of 1801 Preston place, while crazed by. the heat, attempted to commit, suicide yesterday afternoon by hanging, but’ was saved from serious injury by the prompt inter- ference of his mother. Burkhardt, who is a brewery worker,

returned home from his work early in the afternoon on account of the heat and found that his mother had not reached home. He went at once to a front room on the second floor, and, tying one end of a rope around the transom over the door, stood on a chair and, looping the other end of the rope about his neck, jumped from the chatr. Mrs. L. Burkhardt came into the room in. time to cut the rope from around her son’s neck. His neck was slightly cut—otherwise he was uninjured. . Overcome with the heat on a vacant lot at 720 North Twelfth street yesterday afternoon, Joseph List, 33 years of age, an Austrian laborer, is in a critical con- dition. He was taken to the City Hos- pital and his recovery is doubtful. Stricken Changing Clothes, The heat caused by numerous changes of clothing proved too much for Miss Rose Dooley, 21 years of age, a model employed by the Carleton Dry Goods Co., Twelfth and Washington avenue, yesterday afternoon. While making one of her many changes she was stricken with the heat and was taken to her’ home, 3408 Laclede avenue, after being attended by a physician. Fred W. Wenke, 79 years of age, an ex-steamboat captain, of 3509 Morgan street was overcome by the heat yester- day afternoon at Ninth and Market streets: He was taken to the City Hos- pital and because of his extreme age his recovery is considered doubtful. Charles Manaeck, 30 years of age, an iron molder of 207 Russell avenue, was overcome with the heat at Broadway and Trudeau street yesterday after- noon. He was taken to the City Hos- pital and his chance of recovery is slight.

The body of a great man lay in state yesterday afternoon in an hum- ble mission-church and thousands who knew of his goodness went to look for the last time upon his face. They came from everywhere in 8&t. Louls. There were men of great wealth and barefooted boys. To each of them he had done some kind act. Thomas Morrison was one of the founders of Biddle Market Mission and for 69 years had been its guiding spirit. The only piece of jewelry he ever wore in his life was in the lapel of his coat yesterday as he lay in the coffin. It was a small gold medal iven him by the pare and girls of Fis Mission Bunday School. e left directions in his will that it must be buried with him. - Several years ago the leaders of the Sunday School were giving bronze medals to the scholars as rewards for continuous attendance and some- one suggested: — “Why not give Mr. Morrison a medal, he has attended this Sunday Schoo! for 50 years.”’ And when they gave it to him it was of gold. Mourner Carries Bucket. For two hours before the funeral services began yesterday the body lay in the mission and the people came in, walked past the coffin and either went out again or sat down to wait for the services. One of them was a man with a tin dinner bucket. He pressed a red handkerchief to his mouth as he gazed at the still, white face. “TT went to school to him tin 1863,” he said. “It was in the old mission over the Biddle Market. I haven't made such a great success as the world goes, but I’ve lived a Christian life and reared my children Chris- tians, all on account of him.” A, city fireman said, as he stood be- the coffin: “I went to school to when I was 3 years old. If ever ere was a good man he was one. He couldn't do too much for a man in trouble.” In his Hfe Thomas Morrison gave “@way more than 3000 bibles, each scribed on the flyleaf. James W.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 10.—In the celebration of Aug. 5 as Emancipation Day there was one feature at Spring- field that was not part of the program at any other place. It was a dinner given to the ex-slaves, the old negro men and women who were the property of the white people in the ante-bellum days. Three hundred negroes attended the dinner, many of them more than years of age. . Some of the older negroes conceived the idea of giving the slaves a big feast on the day that had meant so much to them. Committees took charge of the work and solicited funds, the white peo- ple contributing liberally. When the former slaves gathered about the big tables they found a dinner of the kine they knew “‘befoh de wah.” The repast consisted of chickén, fried ham, hot bread, dumplings, ice cream, lemonade and many other things. After the meal had been. &nished the old ex-slaves gathered in little groups to talk of when they were in bondage and some of their experiences. They were from all parts of the South, though most of them had come to Mis- souri before the war with their masters from Kentucky and Tennessee. Refore the freedmen left they had a religious service, and the songs they sung were of the old-time darky kind, Marinette County farmers have Ab women in their places. The farm- ‘rs were up a tree as to what to do, mo help could be obtained to harvest them. Then one determined to try Women. The experiment was so much of a success that others followed suit, ‘and now all the young women who will take a job are quickry picked up. They are said to do just as good work as the former “farmhands,”’ and there is much less shirking among them.

Besides, many divorce suits of persons married in Omaha-~have been filed in other cities. The official statistics indicate that one-third of the marriages find their conclusion in the divorce court. The end comes .sooner or later, though 655 per cent of the divorces are instituted within three years of the wedding day. Bleven per cent of the wives and hus- bands tire of each other within one year of marriage. The Government expert who is gath- ering statistics in Omaha, states that the figures he has compiled do not show the full extent of marital unrest, but that quarrels and separations that do not become of record occur in about 12 per cent of all marriages in this county. The figures are not yet complete, but shew an approximate of 12,000 marriages since 18§7 in this county, with about 2600 divorce suits. ‘Statistics Show Wonderful Gains Jn St. Louis in the Wholesale Shoe Business. The sales of shoes by the wholesalers and manufacturers in St. Louis, as re- ported to the License Commissioner, ag- gregate from June, 1906, to June, 1907, $48,402,423, which is a gain over last year of $12,454,197. Three or four, pos- Sibly half a dozen of the smaller job- bers have not reported to the License Commissioner yet, and it is safely esti- mated that a complete report will bring the St. Louis wholesale shoe busi- ness up 40 at least $49,000,000. This is a wonderful “showing for St. Louis, and

the gain of near $12,000,000 is certainly a wonderful gain for the year. These reports made to the License Commis- sioner are sworn to by each house, It is interesting to note thaf the shoe manufacturing business has increased in a greater proportion than the jobbing business. These figures evidently place St. Louis in the lead as the greatest shoe manufacturing center in the coun- try, because we feel that no other city in the United States tan justly claim to have practically a $50,000,000 shoe busi- ness annually.—Lynn Item. COFFIN BOXES ARE USED AS ELECTION BOOTHS Voters in a Kentucky Town Assert Their Right of Suffrage in Unique Way.

The voting place was situated in Harris’ undertaker warehouse, and the booths consisted of two upright coffin boxes, each containing a small coffin so turned as to enable the average voter to stamp with, ease. The candidates consisted of a preach- er, a farmer and #@ doctor, and the somber, not to say grave, aspect of the unique polls is said to have worked wonders in favor of the minister, who has been declared to be the nominee. HEAD OF FAMOUS FIRM QF JAM MAKERS IS DEAD T. F. Blackwell Was Third of His Family in Business 201 Years: LONDON, Aug. 10.—The death is an- nounced of T. F. Blackwell, J. P., head of the famous jam-making firm of Crosse & Blackwell, whose works are in Soho-square. The firm, which has such a domi- nating influence in the district of Soho, dates back 201 years, having been founded in 1706. In the early years of its operations the works occupied a small part of the area now utilized by the Shaftesbury Theater. By degrees the expanding business made larger premises necessary, and the firm moved to its present site. In 1892 it became a limited company. It now employs more than 2000 peo- ple, who have their own athletic and recréatiog clubs, and their own savings bank, which allows 5 per cent on all deposits.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Aug. 10.— After fighting for existence for 35 years with the Missouri River, the town of Barney, Neb., has at last given up the struggle—the postoffice has been aban- doned and the last house has gone sail- ing down the muddy ‘“Mizzu.’’ Where once Was & prosperous town there to- day flows the swift current of the most treacherous river in the world—the Mis- souri.

It was territory. struction of Barney. In those days the river traffic on the Missouri was im- mense. In fact, Barney was a good- sized town before the Burlington rail- | road was built to it. By reason of the newness of the towns . themselves, the residents living along the Missouri River did not realize the : x vagartes of the stream as they didj{j{ after several years experience.

The dam | lasted until the first spring rise in the | water and then it disappeared jiffy. Great willow mats were made and anchored against the river banks. They were weighted with big rocks brought by the railroad, which had: built into the town. The river carried them away as easily as it had the dam. Expensive ripraping and cribbing were built to protect the town and the river gathered it.all into its greedy maw. Closer and closer came the water to the town. House after house was moved back toward the bluffs. And § soon where the houses had stood and where had been pretty lawns came the ugly, muddy water of the Missouri. Gradually the river ate its way to the business portion of the town, where stood brick buildings that could not be moved. As it undermined these the mer- chants moved out and one by one left the town. Finally, every business house had\been washed away. ' Houses Trapped by Hills. By that time all the residences had been moved and half were deserted en- tirely. The great hills prevented their being moved farther from the river or to the north or south if a new town- site could have been Jocated, The frame houses, having been moved as far as possible, were fighting ‘with their backs to the wall.” They could go no further and stood there waiting their fate—the waters of the Missouri, One by one they were undermined and swept away by the stream. Some years not a single house went adrift. Again two or three would go down in a week. In its palmy days Barney had 1500 inhabitants. Finally a deserted blacksmith shop was all that remained of the once thrifty town. The summer rise in the river came and a few days ago this single reminder of the town of Barney toppled over and went down the river in the wake of its companions of former years. }

' cy C WASH UB Memphis Chief to Establish Municipal Laundry for Fe- male Prisoners.

PLANT BEING PREPARED

Police Head Thinks Scheme Will Serve to Check Vagrancy.

TO TAKE IN WASHING

Rockpile to Be Eliminated 4s Working Place for the Gentler Sex.

ial to the Post-Dispatch. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 10.—One of e chief troubles of Memphis house- wives—the washerwoman shortage—may be relieved if the City Council does not interfere with the plans of Police Chief George T. O’Haver, who proposes a mu- nicipal laundry to occupy the time of the female prisoners in the city jail. Primarily Chief ©’Haver'’s suggestion fg im the interest of humanity, for at present the women convicts held by the city are worked on the rock pile, per- forming the same labor as men, with the exception that their hours are some- what shorter. Within a few weeks the municipal laundry plan will be given a practical test at the police station. ._ Chief O’Haver is in direct charge of the work of city prisoners, and while his orders are subject to review by the Fire and Polics Commission of _ the Council, it is seldom that they are ' changed. . ¥Mte Out Room for Laundry. The Chief has announced his inten- tion of putting the laundry scfleme in operation and is proceeding with his plans, having ordered a large room fitted out for the purpose. The first test w.ll be made with linen and blankets used at the city prison. The washing necessary for these, to keep them spotlessly clean, is not suf- ficient to occupy half the female pris- oners half a day. ‘"f there is not enough work for the women from the city, we Shall take in washing for them,” says the Chief. “There May be some complaint from the laundry interests, but I do not be- lieve that an objection on the grounds ot competition will hold good. Coarse Wash Only. “In the first placv, it will be imposs!- ble for the police laundry to take in any - but coarse articles for washing, owing to the constant changes which will be made among the prisoners performing this labor. ‘‘This class of trade is not solicited by the laundries of the city and I think that most of them refuse to accept it. “The washerwoman shortage is a constant cry.

ALTON LAD FIRST MERCHANT N TOWN Hustling Frederick B. Bowman Starts General Store, Village Grows Faster.

Frederick B. Bowman, an enterprising 15-year-old Alton boy, is one of the first merchants of Benbow City, a rew town five miles south of Alton, near the new refining plant of the Standard Oil Co. The coming of the huge plant caused a town to spring up around it instant- ly. The hustling Alton boy foresaw the business possibilities of the growing village and set about to’ erect ahd stock a grocery store. He selected a site for his store building at the cross foads, and superintended the construction of the building himsclf. The boy’s- grandfather, H. B. Bow- man, was one of Alton’s pioneer busi- ness men. His other grandfather, Z. B. Job, was also a suctessful trader. The father of the h#@stling young man is one of Alton’s leading merchants. The Alton boy's enterprise has caused the little city to grow more rapidly, as fam- ilies can move to the new settlement now knowing that they may secure all sup- plies from the general store. SUSIE STOOD ON HER HEAD AND POUNDED TO GET RID OF THE PIN Finally She Pulls It. Out of Her Throat and Puts It on Exhibition. If Susie Kirkpatrick knows her own mind she will nevér again swallow a pin. Susie has done that twice and the second time she was the recipient of such pronounced attentions that She does not covet another experi- ence, Susie is the child of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Kirkpatrick of S&St. Louis. She is three and a half years cld. She is now with her mother at Killcare Cottage at Piasa Chautauqua. When she ran to her mother yesterday and remarked “pin,” ‘Mrs. Kirkpatrick knew what had happened. She looked as far down Susie’s throat as she could, but could see no pin. She seized Susie by the ueels and held her wrong end up and shook her. A neighbor suggested rolling and pounding and Susie was rolled and her back was pounded most unmerci- fully. Susie coughed a little and put her finger in her mouth and pulled out a pin. Nobody knows how far down inside of Susie’s throat it had been, but everybody was powerful glad to see it. HE TOOK ACID AFTER VAIN ATTEMPT TO HANG HIMSELF Frenzied Man Fitst Drove Mother. and Sister From House and Locked Doors. Edward Kuiback of 2346 Pope street became suddenly insane at his home Saturday afternoon and with a knife in each hand drove'his mother and two sisters from the house. Thus left alone, Kuiback began to demolish the furni- ture, smashing chairs and breaking dishes. In hig frenzy he attempted to hang himself, but the fall which he arranged broke the rope with the weight of his body and he then drained the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid. The mother and sisters had gone for a policeman. Upon breaking open the door, which the frenzied man had locked, the patrolman found Kuiback en the floor writhing in agony. He was hurried ‘n an ambulance to the City Hospital, where he is said to be dying. Kuiback is a tailor, 30 years old and unmarried.

MOB OF NEGROES ~TRY TO SAVE BOY Policeman Has to Use His Revolver to Land Prisoner in Station. - s _

A mob af negroes in Rush City, a suburb of East St. Louis, threatened yesterday to overpower a policeman and a saloon Keeper to rescue a negro boy, Archie Augustus, who was arrested for shooting his father, Sherman Augustus. The policeman, Dennis Poowderly, held the crowd off with his revolver while he walked his prisoner a half mile to a street car. The boy is 16 years old. His mother went for a can of beer and because she stayed too long his father threw a piece of iron at her and knocked her down. Archie interfered. His father threw a hatchet at him and the boy fired two shots at him, shooting him in the left arm and right hand. Then the boy hit nim in the head with a plank. The fa- ther is in St. Mary’s Hospital, in a serious condition. After the shooting John Reese, a sa- loon keeper, grabbed Archie and held him in his saloon while he telephoned for a policeman. Fifty negroes gath- ered and declared that the boy had served his father as he deserved and that he should not go to the police station. When the policeman arrived he had to fight his way through the crowd to get the young man. The crowd followed him, hooting and yelling and threatening to take the boy from him. He finally landed the boy in the police station. QUTINGS PLANKED BY ORGANIZATIONS Maccabees Will Give Vaudeville, Hardware Men Auto Parade,

Coming in contact with an electric wire where the insulation had been worn off and held against it by his safe- ty belt, Charles Kilger, 46 years of age, a lineman employed by the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Co., was badly burned shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. His injuries are not believed to be fatal. Kilger was working on a telegraph pole on Ridge avenue, between Belt av. and Granville place. He accidentaHy caught hold of a wire where the insul- ation was worn off and received a shock. His safety belt kept him from falling to the ground, but also held him against the wire. He shrieked and George McLaughlin, in charge of stringing the wires, or- dered David Robinson, working on the pole, to cut the wire. After several wires had been cut the limp figure of Kilges was lowered to’the ground. He was attended by Dr. Heine Marks, and was later sent to his home on the Olive street road, near the Eight-Mile Houre. TO HOLD CHURCH SERVICES ON EAST ST.

Woods Pre- ‘vents Serious. Accident in the Mississippi. . Through what seems to have been the intentional act of a boatman, there came near being a collision between the launch of D. W. Woods and anoth- er near Piasa Chautauqua yesterday. Mr. Woods had taken Mrs. Woods, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Lubke Jr. of St. Louis, and Dr. J. L. Goodheart of Lin- coln, Ill., on a cruise to the mouth of the Illinois River. They had cut through a slough at Calhoun point to the main stream of the Mississippi and were coming down in the middle of the stream. The launch of the buoy tender was lying at the Missouri shore. As Mr. Woods’ launch was passing, the other put out from the shore. Instead of crossing straight to the buoy below Grafton, the boat was driven at full speed down stream several hundred feet below it and then directly across the path of Mr. Woods’ boat. Mr. Woods stopped his engine to avoid a collision and at that his boat came’ within three feet of striking the other. He shouted to the two men in the other launch that they had no right to cut across his course that way, but they made no reply. CAUGHT 14 COUPLES SPOONING Lights Are Syddenly Turned on at Stereopticon Lecture. An inquisitive young man undertook to find out last night at the Piasa Chautauqua auditorium how many per- sens in the rear seats were interested in ‘Rome, the Eternal City,” which was the subject of a lecture by Charles A. Payne, with stereoptican illustrations. The place was darkened, and the man walked about quietly to discover that at least twenty-elght persons were not caring whether Rome stood or fell. They were, however, intensely interested in each other. Fourteen couples were en- gaged in the familiar Chautauqua pas- time of ‘‘spooning’’—unmistakably, be- cause of the positions of their arms, the

‘proximity of their heads and the low murmur of their conversation. When the lights were turned on sud- denly and unexpectedly there was a great breaking away in the back seats. JEFFERSON CLUB CARNIVAL Will Be Held at Handlan’s Park Under 200 Arc Lights.

TOURNAMENT. AT THE TRIPLE A IS BEGUN. IMcGL

WGLYNN IS A CONQUEROR OF BOSTON ss - » ~~ "With Injured Finger, “Stoney” Goes in to Save HERO AND

Teammate, and Wins a 3 to 2 Vic- tory for Cardinals.

S TONEWALL JACK’’ McGLYNN upheld his ‘‘Stoney’’ in more than one way yesterday when he tri- umphed over the Bostonians by a score of 3 to 2 and brought the third successive victory to the Camp Cardinal. (ae nickname In the first place McGlynn pitched when most other pitchers would have warmed the bench. McGlynn broke the index finger of his left hand in an exhibition game with the Burlington, Io., team last Wednesday. He did not quit the game, and instead told his man- -ager that one pitcher with a broken finger was enough for one team. As Karger was the only man to relieve him it was his con- tention that the club would be greatly handicapped should Karger be injured also. McGlynn pitched the remainder of that game with his finger bleeding and yesterday he had it-in bandage. It was his turn to pitch yesterday and he pitched, and ne won his game through sheer grit. ' Besides pitching a sterling game he brought in tie tieing run against the * Bostons in the fifth inning and in the oe istered one by pretty batting. eighth he led off with a pretty single to right and scored the winning run himself. Barring two mistakes he had very good support by his team mates, both in the field and at the bat. He worked hard and so did his players. Neither team could get a man on first in the initial inning, but in the second Vialf of the second the Cardinals reg- Burnett * started off with a pop to Bridwell, which seemed to be out of the clever “ shortstop’s reach, but by good judg- ment the ball was gathered in. Holly ¥ aroused the fans with a hard smash to eénter and he immediately raced to third on Murrey’s pretty single in the ‘game. Hostetter sent a long fly to Beau- ** mont and Holly crossed the plate. ss Boston rubbed it in in the fourth by _ tleing the score and before the side was ‘xetired they took the advantage of one 4} fun. Tenney surprised Byrne by bunt- “ing the third strike and the runner *+ yeached the bag easily. Sweeney placed ’ his manager on second with a sacrifice, % bg + oP which Noonan denashed a single«to left, and had not array fumbled the ball he could have _ got his man at the plate easily, but the _ ball arrived a second after Tenney and - tn the mix-up the ball got past Noonan and Beaumont mace third on the play. The squeeze play was the cause of Boston's second run to be be annexed *' ana it made the Cardinals appear fool- tha. _ Ish in solving it. As soon as McGlynn Sco to unwind, Beaumont started for ‘ i ine and Bates tapped the ball and reached first easily himself, while Beau- fielded. Beaumont | was tipped off and he pitched low. The ball was missed and Bates was out at the Plate. Randall forced Bates for the second out. Ritchey singled to right and Ran- dall reached third. Asmussen, how- ever, was the last out on a grounder to Byrne. This was all the scoring that the visitors were able to do. It did not take the Cardinals long to tie up the game. They evened matters in the fifth on Noonan’s triple to right center and McGlynn followed with a single through Bridwell. McGlynn again forced his way into the limelight with a single to right in the eighth inning the first man up. Syrne’s sacrifice was too good and he beat out the bunt. Both runners ad- vanced on Barry’s neat sacrifice. Fla- herty tried to pitch them wide to Ko- netchy, but the big first-baseman found one over his head and it was an easy matter for McGlynn to score on the fly which Bates gathered in in deep right. Te Bostons went out in order in the ninth. The score: ST. LOUIS.

GREENFIELD, Ind., Aug. 10.—Mrs. Ruth Clayton, the centenarian, who died in this county, besides being 100 years old was a remarkable woman in many ways. She leaves @ grand-children, Ti great-grandchildren and 1l great-great- grandchildren. Until she went to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Catherine Lamb, Mrs. Clayton lived alone in her log cabin near this city, where she made her home for 68 years. She was a Virginian by birth and came to Indiana with her husband in 18M. They built a two-room cabin that was the envy of early settlers, and for years all of the “big doings’’ in the county were held at the Clayton home, because the Clayton family had “plenty of room.” In those days this city con- wisted of a dozen cabins, one genera) store and Postoffice combined, presided over by Hugh Wuster, who exchanged merchandise for pelts, money being al- most unknown as a purchasing me- dium. Mrs. Clayton had a remarkable mem- ory and was fend of telling of events

George Dovey, president of the Bos- ton National League Club has signed Jimmy Reardon, the focal athlete and baseball player. He won his spurs as an all-round man on the athletic field while a student at C. B. C. College. Jimmy was one of the mainstays of the famous C. B. C. rugby football club, several years ago. He won the reputation of being one of the best and most accurate punter the West ever had known. He followed the association game for a few years and was a member of the St. Theresas champion football club, which succeeded in defeating all the famous elevens of the country. Reardon continued his athletic games and broke into the baseball game. The past three seasons he has been identified with several of the leading clubs of the local trolley league. elie was the champion batsman of “the trolley league in ly¥o and 1906. He has been playing centerfield for the Champion White Sea:s tnis summer. Besides being recognized as the lead- ing fielder, batsman and run-getter he has been looked upon as the most promising youngster St. Louis, has turned out in some time. Reardon was discovered by J. Ignatius Fin- nigan. Owner Dovey as is well known is a St. Louis product and he has known Reardon for many years. He will pay Jimmy $600 to play out the balance ef the season. It is Mr. Dovey’s in- tention to send ReRardon to left field Tuesday next when the Doves will open at home. Reardon should make good. In fact, it begins to look as though the great White Seal teams will be a thing of the past before the champion- ship season is over. Word was received late last night to the effect that Jim Bagley, the giant first sacker of the Seals, and ‘Suds’ Meers, the club's great backstop, had been signed by Bob Hedges. Bagley and Meers will report at the Browns’ park on Monday for a try-out. Last week Owner Shettsline of the Philadelphia National League Club succeeded in signing up ‘“‘Speed’’ Coon- ey of the Seals. Cooney will join the Quakers Sept. 20, when this band will report here fo ra series against the Cardinals. Cooney will probably pitch one of the games against the locals. EMPIRE CITY RESULTS.

ENTIRE TOWN ) SHATTERED IN EXPLOSION Car of Nitro-Glycerin Reduces Essex, Qnt., to Ruins, Palm 150. fillies and geldings, 104, Baroda 90

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ESSEX, Ontario, Aug. 10.—A car of nitroglycerine, standing on the Michi- gan Central tracks at Essex, blew up and wrecked the entire town this morn- ing. Three men are dead, five probably are fatally injured and four are badly bruised. Almost every pbuilding in the town is shattered and within a radius of 300 yards from the depot everything is in a state o ftotal destruction. The car of. nitroglycerine was side- tracked Friday near the freight sheds and was to have been taken to Am- herstburg on a plug train which was due to leave Essex this morning Brakeman Joseph McNary aalewened that glycerine was leaking from the car, and he started to open the car and stop the leak. Just then the ex- plosion occurred. With a terrific noise and a shock that was felt as far away as Detroit, houses, churches, stores and factories reeled and collapsed. Depot Is Wrecked. The fine new stone depot was blown open and only the side walls and the rafters are left. The freight sheds were leveled to ine ground. Green’s ware- house fell flat. Maylor’s mill was con- verted into a bunch of kindling. Laing and Ricthie’s sash and door mill: dou- bled up like a jackknife and fell on its s.de. Freight cars were demolished and the engine and tender of the train were converted into scrap iron. The entire village of Essex of 2500 people were panic-stricken, their houses were falling about their heads. They knew not what had happened, but they did know that their homes and all they possessed were in ruins. All the doc- tors of the city and the firemen aided, and with every step their progress grew more and more difficult over the piles | of wreckage, until at the very center : of the disaster they had to stop at a great hole in the ground, 50 feet across and 20 feet deep. That was where the ill-fated car had stood. Nothing of the car or the rails it had stood upon were left. Impaled by RaRilR. Two hundred feet away Burt Essel- tyne was lying with a crushed face, and his horse was dead close by with a een of railroad track shot through his In the field lay Brakeman McNary. He had been blown through a fence. Brakeman Leo Coulon was found under a heap of coal, also dead. Station Agent A. QO. Steimers. was taken out of the depot, probably fatally injured. Fire- man Managan was found near the ruins of -his engine and may die. Engineer David Cottrell was in the depot with Conductor Tom Barry. Both are badly hurt and may not survive. Mrs. Wm. Morton, a negress, living in Ypsilanti, Mich., who was about to board the train, was probably fatally injured. Miss Mary Coburn, central tel- ephone operator, who was sitting, at her board 300 yards away from ‘the wreck, was badly cut by the falling lass. ©’ Telegraphic communication was cut off. The telephone, operated by a younger sister of Miss Coburn, who had been badly injured, was deluged with long-distance calls.

PETTICOAT USED AS NET TO CATCH A WEAK FISH Jerseyville Girl Deftly Doffs Gar- ments When German Carp Follows Skiff. The power of the petticoat has been again demonstrated. This time it has been used to catch a fish. ‘Sfact. Misses Leona Marsh, Beatrice Marsh, Elizabeth Purrington, Lillian Wagner and Howard Haynes of Jerseyville were in a skiff on the Mississippi River when they discovered a carp fvrllowing the boat. A splash did not scare the fish away. The boat was stopped and the fish came so near that they could al- most touch it with their hands. A happy thought came to Beatrice Marsh. As they had no net she would catch it with her petticoat. That useful article was deftly removed and converted into « net. She dipped for the fish and once had it, but it got away. Leona Marsh whisked off her petti- coat and was more. successful She caught the fish and jerked it into the boat. It weighed three pounds. An ex- amination revealed its tractability. It had been wounded in the head and was probably “crazy with the heat.” it tasted just as good’as a sane fish. ‘BIGOEST LOAF OF BREAD EVER BAKED FOR PICNIC Country Store to Be Feature of Fete at Lansdowne Park Today.

Almost offsetting these increases. how- ever, is the decrease in the vatuation put on the St. Louis Merchants Bridge Co. This corporation last year was assessed at $1,900,000, and paid $39,- 900 into the City Treasury. This year the valuation has been placed at $700,- C00—$1,200,000 less—and will pay only $13,- 020.06, despite the increase in the tax rate. The Suburban Raflroad—including the St. Louis & Meramec River mileage and equipment—is valued by the State Board at $1,952,338.20 this year, against $1,922,860.51 in 1906.

The Wiggins Ferry Co. will not be greatly embarrassed by the increase which the State Board effected in the valuation of its trackage, cars, engines and other rolling stock and equipment. Three dollars is the extent of the raise over last year, when its assessed valua- tion was $2,000,vww0.84. Nevertheless, Col- lector Hagerman expects to encounter his annual difficulty in getting the $43,- 400.21 due the city this year. The Wig- gins company for several years has re- fused to pay taxes on its tracks, on the ground that it Is not a railroad within the meaning of the law. The litigation is still pending—as are also several bills presented to the company by Collector Hagerman. It is known that Comptroller Player expected a more generous allotment for St. Louis. He was of the belief that the city’s share of the total would be at least $4,000,000. The estimates of the city’s income, however, were not based on this expectation,’ so that the dis- parity between hope and actuality will not be embarrassing. Collector Hagerman says that with St. Louis representing approximately 40 per cent of the assessed valuation placed on the State’s railroads, street railways, bridges, telegraphs and telephones, the city’s share should be proportionate. Only about 18 per cent of the whole amount of taxes derived from those classes of property are collected by St. Louls however.

rT Fr COTTON GROWERS “COMBINE” TO FIGHT “BUYERS’ TRUST”

LL r ~ wr Union Farmers Are Confident That With Their Warehouses to Protect Stable, They Can Force Price to Eleven Cents.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Aug. 10.—The cot- ton growers of the new State and Texas are preparing ‘‘to fight the devil with fire.” They are reinforcing their “‘com- bination’ to force up the prices on the “Cetton Buyers’ Trust.” In other words, they are preparing to hold their cotton until the buyers offer 11 cents. The idea in this movement is not new nor is the methed of execution. The idea is as old as buyers and sellers and the method, to a very large ex- tent, has been tried by the cotton grow- ers for two years—since the Farmers’ Union gained sufficient strength to be- come a factor. The new feature is the union warehouses, some of which are new under contract, and more are defi- nitely decided upon. It is in these warehouses that the farmer wil’ store his cotton and hold it uutil the buyer comes to his price. Wasting Cotton Broke Combination. Heretofore the union members havo been loyal to the idea of helding their cotton until the stipulated price was of- fered—la_t year it was 11 cents—but when the man whose year’s living was wrapped up in the bales awaiting ship- ment saw them rotting in the open freight yard or his own barnyard, he usually weakened and drove a poor bar- gain ,with the buyer. This year the unien goes inte the battle with a larger membership, great- er confidence and, best of all, an as- sured ability to loan money to the farmer who is willing te stere his cot- ton until the right price is offered, but who cannot wait until that somewhat uncertain time for his money. Loan Money Upon Receipts. The plan is te loan money at 6 per cent upon warehouse receipts for cot- ton stored, the same to be graded and valued by an experience! cotton man who will be placed in charge of the union wareheuse. It is the same meth- od that has been employed for many years by the wheat shippers and grow- ers. The union now has one warehouse— |

the one at Houston, Tex. Its conduct was so profitable to both growers ard the union as a society last year that it has encouraged the building plan. The intention is to erect warehouses at all of the larger shipping points, and when they are filled with cotton refuse to entertain bids from the mid- diemen or brokers, but demand that the spinners buy the large amount of cotton that will be so held. The spinners have already recognized the strength of the union by inviting a conference with an object of buying the cotton centrolled by the union. The ability of the union to store the cotton until the spinners need it Is tne point ufon which the deal hinges. College for Growers. in connection with will be the cotton schools, held during the farmers’ idle months. Experts will be engaged to teach the best methods of seed test- ing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, ginning and preparing for the market. Such a school at Houston last year had 100 interested students, all practi- cal growers, some of them of many years’ experience; all admitted the bene- fits. Lawton, Mangum, Altus and Shawnee, in Oklahoma; Ardmore, Durant and Ada, in Indian Territory; Dallas, Chil- licothe and numerous other points in Texas, are being considered for the lo- cation of warehouses. The Comanche County Union, at a recent meeting at Lawton, took up the initial plans for the building of the warehouse there, A Texas company, with $1,000,000 capi- tal, has proposed to build a plant at Lawten, as well as those at other places, for the use of the union. The Lawton warehouse is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $5000, and will handle from 1500 to 65000 bales daily. Steps have also been taken toward the construction of warehouses at both Ard- more and Shawnee. Another feature the warehouses

WAITRESSES STIh

Husbands Teach Them to Swim and Wives’ Bathing Costumes Rail to Attract.

PORT HURON, Mich., Aug. 10.—An- gry, it is alleged, because their husbands preferred teaching the waitresses at the hotel to swim to bathing with them, a number of women guests at a summer resort on Huron Lake have lodged a complaint with the manager, asking that the girls be kept from the lake. The hotel in question is the Winde- mere at Gratiot Beach. Every woman who swims or even pretends to like the water has with her at. the hotel one or more bathing suits, and it is reported that more time was spent upon some of these creations than was given to the designing of,,the ball gowns of their owners. The women came to the beach to shine, but the waitresses who came each day ostensibly only to bathe have dulled the luster of the stars, who Ahink they should be of the first ‘magnitude. “T have a bathing suit which its a dream," said ene irate guest to the help- less manager. “And yet my husband and every other woman’s husband about this resort seems to prefer the company of your waitresses when they come down to swim. You must make them stop or we shall leave your hotel.” The manager promised to do what he could, but admitted that he had no idea what 1 that would be.

SOLDIER DECEIVED GIRL; 1S IN PRISON Private Pyne Borowed Money from Fiance and Then Jilted Her. SHE NURSED HIM IN CUBA ee Told Her He Was. About to Be- come an Officer and That He Needed Uniforms. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Aug. 10,~— Private James M. Pyne, Sixteenth Bat- tery, Field Artillery, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, will have three years to think over whether it is ‘well for one; even wearing the uniform of one of Uncle Sam’s regulars, to deceive a g00d woman. The officers of the army have gay times, but usually the pri- vates are looked upon as not having a spark of romance in their system. Pyne, however, was too romantic, and his deception of a trusting woman has caused him to be sentenced by a court-

martial to three years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, which means that he is forever disgraced and will never again wear the army uni- form. Pyne was a soldier in 1899 in Cuba during the American occupation, and the young woman he promised to mar- ry, but whose name the War Depart- ment refures to ¢.vulge, was a Red Cross nurse, residing in San Antonio, Tex., who nursed Pyne through an ill- ness. During his convalescence he foun time to ra" her a love story, which une believed. ie built great castles in the air and she looked upon him as a hero. He Borrowed Money From Her, Upon his return to the United States Pyne wrote to her that he had come to Fort Leavenw Md he taken an examina- tion for a conimission and all that he needed was sufficient money to buy officer’s uniforms and other equipment. ~aed stooge pieesoes colors with his e e brilliant e of army ei dey the wife of an 1e young nurse, in answe appeal for money, sent him $500. - ‘he time was then set. for the wedding and she met Pyne in Kansas City, but he was ready with an explanation, and she returned to her home, but not without lending him’a few hundred dollars more. Ready With Expenses, After waiting for a time she be- came impatient, declaring he would either marry her or pay her the money he had borrowed. Again Pyne’s ex- cuses saved him. This time his father had died, leaving him $20,000, but with the understanding that he should not marry until five years had elapsed. His fiancee "met him again in Kansas City and heard the beautiful story and then voruraed to her Texas home again to wa But some of her friends beca - picious.

ETS OFFICE IN CORRIDOR Ot AN INDIANA JAIL Newspaper Man Is Directing His Business From Behind Steel Bars. HE KILLED A PRINTER is Proprietor of Red Man’s Of- ficial Paper and Must Stand Trial for Murder.

MUNCIE, Ind, Avg. 10.—Joseph P. Williams, proprietor of a printing ¢s- tablishment and editor of the Indiana Red Man, the official organ of the or- der of Red Men in this 3tate, has moved his office. He no ijonger uses a roll- tep desk in a downtown business block, but a table and chair in the corridor ef the County Jail suffices for the transac- tion of his editorial duties. The removal of his office was not a matter of choice, but was forced on him because a few days a;o he shot to death one of his printers, Herman Pugh recently of Little Rock, Ark. The town has not ‘yet recovered from the ‘hock of the tragedy and the cause and blame are matters to be determined by the courts later on. But the grand jury has acted and Williams wil! have to re- main in Jail until he is either convicted and sentenced or acquitted and granted nis liberty. Williams has placed his case in the hands of attorneys and has very little to say about the tragedy. Will Edit Paper From Jail. ‘T need to be busy now more than ever,” he said to a Post-Dispatch cor- respondent, “for I do not wish to lose my interest in the property and my family must not be neglected. So I am going to conduct my business here in the Jail; that is, have direct charge of it. The Sheriff has consented to al- low me to supervise my affairs through an assistant who will remain at the plant, and I think I can successfuily centinue work in this way.” Alreacy*the corridor of the Jail re- sembles a newspaper office. A _ table placed for Williams is strewn with pa- pers and proof sheets and he has appar- ently lost no time. The Red Man, which is a weekly publication, made its appearance as usual following the trage- dy and it is stated that it will continue without interruption. Williams’ name still appears at the head of the editorial page as the editor ard publisher, though he will have the assistance in the work of C. A. Robinson, great senior saga- more of the order, and Dr. John A, Co*fman, a close personal friend. What His Paper Said, Williams is well known and has al- ways been a popular member of the or- der. In the current fssue of the Red Man regret is expressed over the affair. An article signed “‘The Committee in Charge” says: “Last Saturday there occurred in the office of the Indiana Red Man a trage- dy in which Herman Pugh lost his life. It is understood that the trouble arose over a matter of wages, but no matter what the cause of controversy, it is one that is deplored by the citizens of order. The merits of the case will not be discussed in these columns, as that is a matter for the courts to determine.” GAVE HER LIFE FOR A PET DOG Cleveland Woman Treated Sick Spitz and Contracted Disease by Inoculation.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 10.—Mrs. Her- man L. Gebauer, 1317 East Eighty-fourth street, a young wife, gave up her life as a sacrifice to the love of a pet dog. The animal, a gift from her mother, lives. Mrs. Gebauer treated the dog, a snow- white spitz, as a child, but it ran away, and was found in the hands of a fam- ily in the slums. In a short time Mrs. Gebauer no- ticed symptoms of illness in the dog. She bought medicine and treated it, but instead of improving, it grew worse. Two weeks ago she summoned a phy- sician, Dr. 8. P.. Snyder, to ascertain what was the cause of small postules which appeared on her lip and face. Dr. Snyder treated her and as her condi- tion grew alarming by Sunday, called other physicians for consultation. In a week the eruptions had spread over her body, through all this time producing intense pain. The case puz- zied every doctor summoned. Through the next week Mrs. Gebauer grew steadily worse. Monday she died. She had become innoculated with the germ that afflicted the animal.

‘HOGS BRING HIGH PRICES Sheep Market Is Strong, While Horses and Mules Bring Average Prices.

High Prices for Hogs Encourages Shippers. The feature of the market for the past two or three weeks has been the high prices paid for hogs here compared with other West- ern markets. Shippers living in competitive territory are begin- ning to realize that they can get more money upon this market and are turning their .shipments this way.

Cattle receipts last week were prac- tically the same as the previous week, amounting to a Ittle less than 29,000 head, but this is about 10,000 less than were received three weeks ago. The demand for high-priced steers was not quite so goo@ and nearly all of the good steers declined 10@lic. The week opened with the market on a good, active basis, but the decline was soon in effect, and there has neen little further change. One choice prime beef steer sold at $7.50 and a load of prime 1430- pound steers brought $7.%5, the highest price that has been paid since 1902. The bulk of the good 1150 to 1400 pound steers sold at $6@6.75, while the fair kinds sold largely at $4.40@5.75. Some rough steers, but well fattened, sold from $5.26@6.10. Good to choice cows and heifers were in govd demand throughout the week and sold readily at steady to strong prices, but common and fair grassy and short-fed classes were slow sale and showed a decline of about 0c toward the dlose of the week. Most of the good to prime cows sold between $4 and $5 and the best heifers at $4.75@5.60. Me- dium cows and heifers sold largely at $3.26@3.75. Common cows brought $1.25@ $1.75 and heifers around $2.50. The calf market closed the week in good streng condition and prices show a gain of %@50c. Choice calves sold up to $7, with the bulk of the supply selling at $6.50@6.765. A good demand from tne country for stockers and feeders, and the market was active and prices advanced 10@20c on all except the poorest grades. The supply was only moderate and not suf- ficient to satisfy the demand. Choice feeders weighing 1100 to 1200 pounds sold at $5.26@5.60 and good! Southwest steers sold as high as $4.50. Bulk of the good feeders sold at $3.90@4.25 and most. of the good stockers at §$3.35@3.66, with common lots at $2.40@3.20. Texas and Territory steers, on ac- count of the liberal run the first two days of the week, declined 16@25c, but as the supply later in the week was light this loss was entirely regained, and the market closed on a strong ba- sis. Choice 1200-pound steers sold at $5.50 and several train loads went at $5@5.25. The bulk of the good steers sold at $4.50@6, and most of the medium and common lots at $3.65@4.36. Cows and heifers were also a shade lower the early part of the week, but the latter part of the week there was more strength and the market closed fully as high as the week before. Some choice spayed heifers so'd :t $4, while the bulk of the fair to good cows and heifers went at $2.60@3.35, and most of the canners around $82. Light Hogs in Demand. The hog market continues upside down and the best hogs are still selling at the bottom and the lights weighing 125@165 at the top of the market. The very best heavy hogs are selling fully 40c below the top of the market and absolutely at the bottom. The cause of this is that there ig an extra good de- mand from the East for the light ship- ping hogs and the packers think hogs are selling too high and they are forc- ing the heavy hogs down all of the time. The past week the receipts were only moderate, but the market was on the decline all of the time and at the close of the week the market showed a loss of 2%e on all kinds, and while the best lights were selling up to $6.4, most of the good medium and heavy hogs were se‘ling at $6@6.10 and the packers bought a whale lot of good heavy hors that frequently sell at the top of the — or very close to it at 6.%@ While light hogs are sellin around the top there is a class of lights that sig Fo ; peestinnt 6, with the fair abe ones 1 5.50, and the stockers as aa $3.75@4.50.

SIXTH STREET LEASES

' Equitable Building Will Event- ually Be Replaced by Big Store.

A comparatively active market char- acterized the opening week of August in realty circles. Investment purchases of flats were a featur., with important transactions in semi-business and busl- ness properties. Transfers of modern dwellings, espeo- fally those of the middle class, were not numerous. There are plenty of buyers for dwellings of the middle class, but the supply has not anticipated them. This is ascribed to the advanced interest rates, which have materially retarded residential bullding. Many homeseekers are building after their own plans. This has given impetus to the sale of lots in the restricted residential sections. Corner business blocks in the residen- tial areas were in notable demand, but the rental capacity of them at this time fs highest, and owners are reluctant to surrender them. Purchases of choice corner holdings are pa paying round prices. Incidentally, the pro that have been realized this summer in corner building operations have been unprecedented. Although a majority of the heavy o erators are out of town, the flame st l flickers in the central business district. So Hong ‘their return it will be at full blaze gain, the resources for operations in this section apparently being unlimited. The leasing of 419 North Sixth street, a holding of Charles F.

Tenant leases o the Equitable precludes its use at this time, but it is pre-figured that ultimately the two controlling amen will join in a plan for an elaborate department Store vilding for this block. An uplift of $10,000 a front foot in land values in this Sixth street block within 10 years is seen by Qhestnut Street clairvoyants.

over the former price. 155 feet. It was reported several times dur- ing the week that the five-story building and site having a frontage of 127 feet on the south side of Market street, belonging to the Blanke-Wen- neker Candy Co., had been sold to an outside concern; the candy company having obtained a new location, but this was denied by officers of that} company. The property is for sale, according to realty agents, and sev- eral good offers were forthcoming for it. It is not believed that it will remain long on the market, the im- provements being of a high order and the location superb for a light man- ufacturing or ,obbing business. Com- pared with that of more central down- town streets, Market street has not made headway, but it is believed that an advance is beginning. The 12-story American Hotel and theater building Is being rapidly con- structed at the northwest corner of Seventh and Market streets. and cev- eral other important building pro- jects. including a 19-story office building for the southwest corner of Broadway and Market street, are practically assured. With this lead The lot is 22x

Market street will go forward, it is velleved. Another Theater Planned. ~~ The Openheimer Brothers, who are building the American Hotel and Theater at the northeast corner of Seventh and Market streets, are cast- ing about for a site for another theater and hotel building. They were considering a 99-year lease of the property at the northeast corner of Thirteenth and Locust streets at a valuation of $500,000, but had to forego this site; the cost of remov- in the esent six-story structure being prohibitory R. H. Cornell, yeaity officer of the Commonwwealth Trust Co., is accu- mulating land east of Twelfth street, to be occupied by a combination layhouse and office building. Un- il the site is complete, details of this project will be withheld. It will, according to reports, involve an outlay of $800,000, and will vie with the handsomest improvements of this kind in the country. It was denied that that it was planned to build a new office-theater build- ing on the Revere Realty Co.’s hold- ings at _ the northeast corner of

Seventh end Olive streets. The offi- cers of the Revere company have “sama for an elaborate improvement or the Olive street site, but it will not comprise a theater structure, it was stated. Skyscraper Near River. The Varney Concrete Construction Co., of which Dr. W? F. Varney of O’Fallion, Ill, is president, and which has plans for a 16-story life building of 316-18-20 Chestnut’ street, has heen incorporated. The. site has 66x86 feet and is owned by Willard, the Varney company hav- ing taken it under a 99-year lease. The cast of the building is estimated at $300,000. A building was originally planned to embrace the entire Fourth street frontage of this block, but control of the land could not be obtained. The best West End transaction was W. F. Williamson’s purchase of the Windemere Hotel building, 100x 160 feet, at the northwest corner of Delmar and Clara avenues, for $50,000. Charles Metson was the «rantor. The Windemere Hotel Co eontrolling the property under a Nease, operated the hotel business. Property of this character has been!

I. Green to Morton Ay agua - rom- inent attorney, for $15,375. Ss Uun- derstood that Mr. Jourdan represented a manufacturing concern, which wi!!! erect for its own use a building cov- ering the entire tract. The land ad- joins that of the Christy Clay Pro- ducts Co. and of the Missouri Fire Brick Co. The F. H. & C. B. Gere hardt Co. handled this deal. Best Carondelet Sale. The best sale that has been re- sorded in the Carondelet section this summer was concluded yesterday. It comprised a block of cottages at the northwest corner of Ohio avenue and Osceola street, having a frontage of 106 feet on Ohio avenue, Charles Ger- ber paying a consideration of $23,000. Another South Side sale was that of 2204-6 South Broadway, stores and flats, with 45 feet frontage, by Caul- field & Lewis, agents, for the Philip New estate to Max Gardner, for 912,- 000. Property in this section has been more or less dormant, but is begin- ning to feel the effects of the Chou- teau_avenue free bridge movement. Now that Chouteau avenue has been seemingly decided upon for the site for the ) ie bridge, a big movement in property between Chouteau ave- nue and Gratiot street and the leveé and Bighteenth street is expected, It is believed that land in this sec- tion will be sought for manufacturing sites. Many of the advantageous lo- cations have been optioned by syn- dicates. They will only § surrender: them at rich profits. A. R. Scholl- meyer ts said to be ne heavily in this section. One Man’s Bridge View. BE. T. Harkrader of the Harkrader- Singer Realty Co. said yesterday: “The public hearing on the free bridge site in the Council Chamber Friday afternoon was so one-sided that the friends of the Chouteau av- enue location feel that the opposition to them was after all only a tempest in a teapot. “The argument in favor of Chou- teau avenue was so overwhelmingly convincing that the North St. Louls advocates had nothing to say. And the result of this is, that property in the neighborhood of Chouteau av- enue is again on the boom. “However much the property in that section might boom it could never reach the high and prohibitive prices at which property is now being held along the river above Eads Bridge. “Tt was pointed out by the oppon- ents of the Cass avenue site that it would require $3,000,000 appropria- tion to buy up the lands alone at the bridge approach on both sides of the river at Cass avenue, on account of the land at that point being owned by the Terminal Association and oth- er corporate interests, and this fact itself would kill the free bridge prop- ion. a out leave the city without the necessary funds to begin the building of the brkige after the ground had urchased. o Cabsmmatio’ proceedings would not obtain land at the northern site at a reasonable figure, for the — that the railroads now own them = are using them in 4 public serv ¢e; hence complications would arise . block the furtherance of the re lawsuits galore would spring oo n the way of injunction proceedings, and the project ofa free bridge would be defeated.” on the St. Cahn’s Station, Valley. for tracts vicinity nH pga nition o en ge an attractive suburb for residences, but those who desire to engage in truck raising and garden- ing will find oe — and most soil in the 8 ne subdivisie.i is conveniently lo- cated, being on the St. Charles Elec- tric Line and Rock Road.

Early declines of 2 points were numerous with excep- F tional losses of 3 points in Reading and American Smelting and of 4 in Union Pacific. When the bank figures—considerably belated —appeared on the ticker, the market hesitated for a moment, then pressure was resumed, and in most of the important stocks the low prices of the day and week were touched around the close Union Pacific led in this final break, its full decline running to 5% points, making a total fall for the week of 17 points. fractional recovery at the end. The bank statement was favorable or unfavorable, according as the showing or loans or the rnowrng of cash is made the criterion. Cash holdings decreased $5,300,000, a Tesult which is not at all easy to ex- plain.

Local wheat prices depressed by the heavy marketing of winter wheat at at all the Western primary points, de- clined rapidly last week, and although partial recoveries were made towards the end, the close showed sharp losses. Heavy receipts poured in all week, the total at all the Western markets be- ing a good deal more than last year’s, and almost every day amounting to considerably over 1,000,000 bu. Local re- , | ceipts “were almost double those of 1906, and on several days almost a quarter of a million’ bushels were received here. The movement has been somewhat late in getting started this year, and re- ceipts up to a-short time ago did not compare with last year’s, but it is mov- ing in in a large volume now. Ship- ments Were backward and stocks in- creased rapidly, the cash demand beinz very slow. Stocks at this market, how- ever, are still considerably less than those of a year ago. The weather was favorable during most of the week, an the large threshing returns and reports of a good quality of wheat, which came from practically all points of the winter belt, caused some skepticiam among the traders in regard to the damage re- ports from the Northwest, as several sections which are reporting good yields were claimed to be utterly destroyed this spring. The Government report, issued Friday, makes the production of winter wheat 409,500,000 bu., which was greatly over expectations. The yield is 146 bu. to the acre. The condition of spring wheat is 79.4. There were rather heavy rains in Mis- sourl, Iowa, Minnesota and scattered si.owers in Kansas and the Southwest in the middle of the week, but outside of a few sections in Missour!l and Kan- sas harvesting was not impeded to any extent, and receiving houses reported large country acceptances. There were reports of black rust in the Northwest, but they were not nearly as plentiful as they have been recently, and had no effect on the course of the market. The trade now feels more hopeful as to the spring wheat crop, and ‘barring the possibility of frost a moderately good erop is indicated. Cash wheat waa in very slow demand and prices declined sharply. The breaks. however, caused an improvement in the export business, bringing values down to # level with the foreign bids. A good volume of wheat was worked by way of the lakes, and the seaboard re- ported a quite good business in winter wheat. Montreal also reported good shipments of Manitoba, and the de- mand from abroad ruled quite strong late in the week. Future prices tumbled rapidly the first few days of the week, very heavy offer- ings pouring in from all sources. Longs liquidated on a large scale and the shorts and bears pounded values vigor- ously, the chief depressing influence being the current very large fresh re- ceipts at primary points, small ship- ments therefrom and steadily enlarg- ing stocks. The weakening of cash prices under the pressure of new wheat was alsd used as a bear afgument, and under the heavy and general selling, future prices declined about 4c to 4%c. There was a quite sharp rally late in the week, however. It was discovered that a large amount of the liquidation, especially at Chicago, camte from Wall street longs, who were selling on the panicky condition of the stock market. The long lines were pretty well clearned out and though the shorts had not cov- ered to any extent up to the latter part of the week, being reluctant to take profits when the market was going so much their own way, some good buy- ing on the part of this contingent turned up towards the end. The low temperg- tures throughout Canada, budding ex- port demand and a broadening in the export business in flour were the fea- tures causing the small reaction near the close, but the market on Saturday was very weak, and further declines were made. September wheat closing Byc lower for the week at S&\c, and December 4c down at 89ec. Corn was quiet and prices moved slowly. There were general rains in a larger part of the Western and South- western belts, which were badly needed, but too much moisture was complained of in parts of Iowa. The condition of the Missouri crop is 83, about the same as last year’s, and shows considerable improvement since the last previous re- port. The crop generally was in a fa- vorable condition, and the Government report made the condition 82, as com- pared with 80.2 the last previous report. The primary movement of corn picked up sharply, the daily arrivals being quite large. The export demand for corn was good, and a comparatively good milling and shipping demand ex- isted at the local market. Shipments of corn were fair, and stocks continue to decrease. Futures fluctuated § rather yarrowly, an easier tone being caused by thé prectpitate drop in wheat, and im- proved crop conditions. There was a 4 demana at times, however, and prices held relatively steady at the close. September wheat was %c lower for the week at_52\%c, December, %{c lower at 49%c.

Bruton Parish Church is the second oldest English church in the United States, and the oldest in point of con- tinuous use. It was the court church of Colonial Virginia from 1699 to the Revolution. Here, pews, worshipped-the colonial Gov- ernors, two of whom Ile buried in the aisle of the church. And here, in that part of the church bought and paid for by the Virginia House of Burgesses, worshipped Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Mad- ison, Henry, Marshall, Mason, Tyler, Bland, Lee and many others. Situated on Duke of Gloucester street, the main thoroughfare of Wil- liamsburg, and standing in spacious grounds, now almost completely filled with moss-covered and crumbling tombs, this famous old church serves as a connecting link between the early days of the colonial regime and the today of statehood and national sig- nificance, Restored to Ancient Form. The present church was built in 1716, during the rectorship of Rev. Commissary Blair, the then official representative in Virginia of Lord Bishop of London. and the founder and first president of the College of Wil- liam and Mary. The work of restoration, which is now completed, leaves unchanged the exterior of the church; but the inter- ior, which was changed and distorted by architectural and social conditions which no longer exist, has been re- stored to its ancient form and archi- tecture, the present completed church conforming as nearly as may be, both inside and outside, to the exact ap- pearance the structure presented 200 years ago. The whole is intended to be tr—ns- mitted to the following generations as it was planned and built and used by the founders of the colony. ' Ola Services of Silver. The church preserves and still uses the original font and cermmunion serv- ice of the Jamestown Church, a set of communion silver presented to. the par- ish by King George III, and another set of silver known as the Queen Anne service. The pre-Revolitionary Bible, and Prayerbook have also been pre- served, as well as the old parish regis- ter, upon which the name of George Washington occurs 11 times. ; The walls of the church are white, unadorned save by the many tabiets placed there in’ memory of the famous

personages connected with the ‘history of the church. The finishing is done in a beautiful mahogany. The upholster- ing and carpets are green. The building

is lighted by acetylene as, with candle OD

X. O. Pindall received an aw- ful jolt when Attorney-General W. F. Kirby announced in a written opinion that the appointment of John E. Mar- tineau as Assistant Adjutant-General of the Arkansas National Guard wag iI- legal. Maj. Martineau, who was one of Act- ing Gov. Pindall’s political friends, was not a member gf the guard when ap- pointed Assistant Adjutant-Generai and the officers’ association of the guard protested at the selection of an out- sider and there was some talk of resig- nations. At the time Maj. Martineau was ap- pointed, the names of several] otners were before the acting Governor, one of whom was recommended by the Ad- jutant General, Paui Little. The law provides that the appotnt- ment shall be made upon the recom- mendation of «he Adjutant-General, ahd because of his recommendation being disregarded by Acting Gov. Pindall, At- torney-General Kirby holds the appoint- ment illegal. In concluding the opinion, which was uddressed to Capt. W. B.

ON CHLD LABOR NOT A SUCCES >

[Parents in the Cities Either Evade or Openly Violate New Statute.

THEY WANT IT REPEALED

Argue That It Is Far Too Se- vere for an Agriculture State. LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 10.—The strin- gent new child labor law is not proving the popular measure its framers ex- pected, and already there is a demand for its repeal or material amendment. While it is claimed that its good fea- tures outweigh the bad, ita opponents insist it is much too radical for an ag- ricultural State like Nebraska, and where factories are few and where con- ditions are little like those of Massa- chusetts, after whose statute the Ne- braska enactment partly was patterned. The strongest protests GCume from the two largest cities, Omaha and Lincoln, but the smaller towns also are com- plaining, and it is an open secret that the law’s provisions are being viola- ted with impunity. Investigation indi- cates that parents and the children themselves are objecting more to the law than employers, who are compelled to raise wages to get older workers. These owners of shops do not seem greatly to oppose the law on their own account, but say they think it often works an unreasonable* hardship on many who must work. Says It’s Too Severe. Those who have undertaken to fight the law, either in the courts or before the next Legislature, declare it was secured from the Legislature through the women’s clubs of Omaha and Lin- coln to meet purely local conditions, and was framed with a rigidity that works a hardship all over the State where no serious offenses had existed. The law provides that no child under 14 years shall labor at any time of the year at most employments. Work is allowed on the farm, at home, as newsboy and in various temporary tasks. Between 14 and 16 years the child, unless he has a certificate from the superintendent of schools, is barred, even in vacation time, from most of the jobs that ordinarily come in the way of the boy or girl seeking employ- ment among thé merchants of a city. A certificate is not granted unless the su- -perintendent is sure the child is over 14. Makes an 8S-Hour Day. The law provides further that a child worker shall not labor more than eight hours a day, six days in the week, and not after 8 o’clock at night. During nine months of the year the child must be an eighth grade graduate or attend a night school regu‘arly for three months, while the compulsory educational law provides that every child not a graduate of the eighth grade must attend the day school nine months in the year unless he gets a special excuse because of some depen- dent relative. Between the two it is hard for a boy or girl under 16 to get a chance, to work legally. In Lincoln 150 permits have been is- sued and in Omaha nearly 300. Few of these were sought after vaaction be- gan. “The only conclusion to be drawn, therefore, is either that the boys and girls of cities and towns are not work- ing this summer or are ignoring the law. It Helps the Schools. Friends of the law contend that par- ents who do not:care for education for their children, but who make the little ones work to help lay aside a compe- tence, are compelled to see that an edu- cation is provided for them. Supt. Stephens of the Lincoln Pubilo Schools does not believe the law ‘has worked a genuine hardship in more than two or three cases.

MATRON WILL LOOK AFTER GIRLS IN BIG MATCH FACTORY Already There Is a Dentist, a Rest- room and Cafe in Barber- ton (O.) Plant. AKRON, O., Aug. 10.—A matron for his match factory is the latest idea O. C. Barber, millionaire head of the match industry of the country, has evolved for his big Barberton plant. Mrs. Elizabeth Brokaw, who for some time has been in charge of the Akron work of the Flor- ence Crittenden Mission, is to be placed in charge. Hundreds of girls are employed at the Diamond Match Co.’s Barberton plant. Already there is a factory dentist to look after their teeth, a factory restau- rant and a restroom. Now Mr. Barber proposes to look after the morals of his girl employes. A rec- reation room will be fitted up, and there will be a library. The Akron rubber manufacturers, who employ a t number of girls, are watching the experiment closely, and if successful, it doubtless will be widely followed.

BASS IN A CANOE Fish Flounced Into Frail Boat and Was Subdued Just in Time for Supper.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 10.—Thres girls in a frail canoe struggling with a five-pound bass, which jumped into their boat from the deep Water of the Wabash River, furnished an exciting scene here; Misses Hazel Strang, Bertha Latta and Esther Burghardt, all of this city. were paddiing a canoe from the Main- street wharf to Burroughs’ Island,. op- posite Tecumseh Trail, and had reached & poin: near the West Lafayette pump- ing station, when suddenly there was % popping noise beside their boat and a large, dark object rose high in the air and landed among them on the inside floor of the little craft. They were greatly frightened, and for a moment did not know what the etruggling object was. It lay still a moment and they saw it was a large black bass. One of the girls tried to hold the fish down, but it struggled gamely. Tho boat careened several times,’ but the girls held on to the fish and at the same time steadied the rocging canoe. Finally by their combined efforts they subdued the fish and started on their trip again. They reached Burroughs’ Island in time for supper, and the obliging fish was cooked en deaten.

Went Home and Darned His Socks When County Clerk Refused to Issue Marriage License? RICHMOND, Ind., Aug. %.—Calvin Davenport, aged 83, and Mrs. Maris Louisa Biba, aged 70, were married at the home of the bride, in Dublin, after overcoming difficulties which’ w have discouraged younger persons. Twice within a week the plans of the aged couple miscarried, the chief stum- bling block being Harry Penny, Clerk of Wayne County, who refused to issue a license. The original date of the wedding was last week. Davenport.came to this city and applied to Clerk Penny for:a license. The document proceeded smoothly until it came to the line on which the name of the bride-to-be was to have been written. Here there was cs hitch. Da- venport searched his kets and scratched his head, but was finally com- pelled to admit that he did not have the woman’s name. In the meantime, Mrs. Biba made ar-. rangements with Squire Swain of Dub- lin to officiate at the wedding, and also arranged for the wedding supper. Even- ing came, but the bridegroom came not. After a time he was found at his home engaged in darning a pair of socks. He explained that he had been unable to get a license because Indiana's new marriage law was too much for him. Afterward he admitted that he had for- gotten Mrs. Biba’s name. New application blanks were filed, but a few hours before the time set for the ceremony Clerk Penny sent word that he would not issue the license. After considerable persuasion he relented and Mrs. Bitu has become Mr. Davenport's blushing bride. In all Lord Wolseley’s campaigns he made it a rule, where possible, to allow each s9l- dier oné pound of tobacco a month, which he considered 9 fair allowance.

It’s now been proven in’a court of law. Curious, ‘isn’t it, but it’s a fact, nevertheless, that the very ordinary household utility was the undoing of a gay husband and has led to a sensational divorce suit. if it hadn’t been for the traitorous speaking tube (the old-fashioned speak- ing tube) the trouble might never have arisen. But, as it was, the resounding smacks of a pair of ripe red lips on the face of a pretty maid reached the sharp ears of Mrs. Gallagher and created a domestic brainstorm. To be sur>, Mr. Gallagher denied the maid had kissed him in the kitchen or that he had made love to the attractive girl. while Mrs. Gallagher was reading a favorite novel in her boudoir up- stairs. It was all to no purpose. Mrs. Gallagher transformed herself into an ainateur Sherlock Holmes and, with another woman who also wished legal separation from her husband. shadowed her liege lord through the nighways und byways of two big cities, gave ‘haimpagne suppers and finally went ints court with evidence which she lirmly belleved would secure her a de- cTee, The woman figuring in the role of a betrayed wife was the spouse of Wclar- ence V. Gallagher, a prominent official of a Western railroad. With her hus- band she formerly lived in Kansas City. At present her home is in Woodlawn, wu fashionable residence district of Chi- cago. It was in the the Kaw that the speaking tube and pretty maid figured in the domestic drama. Midnight cab rides and wine suppers, with Mrs. Gallagher enacting the role of her own detective, vrought to light in Chieago the alleged sensa- tional revels of the husbard and led _to the finale in the divorce court of the Windy City. Judgé Willard Milton McEwen took the issues under advisement, stating he would render judgment on the ques- tion of decree and alimony as soon as he could formulate an opinion. “Smacks” Started the Trouble. The whole trouble in the Gallagher fami.y began with the tell-taie ‘“‘smacks’”’ heard through the speaking tubs: by Mrs. Gallagher, according to the evi- dence sworn to by her when she gave her testimony before Judge McEwen in the Chicago divorce cour: recently. Mr. Gallegher kissed her servant, the pretty maid, swore the wife, and the handsome young goddess of the kitchen reciprocated in kind. There was no city at the mouth of mistaking the noises she heard through the speaking tube, said Mra. Gallagher; they were great, big, rich smacks; and to hear her husband exchanging such galutations with another woman, above all the maid she trusted, was more than she could stand. The Gallagers were then living in a sumptuous residence. The hand- some wife had a host of friends. Mr. Gallagher was equally popular. They kept open house; guests came and de- parted daily. If there was one single cloud occasionally on the sky of their happiness it was only the rising spec- tre of the servant girl problem. Mrs. Gallagher's purse was fat, however. and when she got a servant § that Pleased her the employe usually re- mained a long time in her service. While Mrs. Gallagher's ecstacy was at its zenith she had in her employ the best servant it had ever been her good fortune to secure. She engaged the girl as a maid and the way she ‘manicured the sha; ‘ly nails of her mistress, or dressed her hair in Mar- cel waves, or compelled her not too new iailor-made gowns to set and look like the fresh production of a fashionable modiste, made Mrs, Galla- gher the envy of all her women friends. As iong as the maid continued her duties in her proper sphere nothing marred the domestic joys of the Gal- laghers. But there came a time one day when the cook had to leave. She was going to get married and neither money nor devotion to her employer could induce her to forego her oppor- , | tunity. <4 Rose Enters the Kitchen. a was @ critical time tor such a vacancy to be created. Some of Mr. Galiagnecs friends were coming to dinner that day. They were the swell- est friends the Gallaghers knew. It wouldn't do ta serve them anything but the very choicest. Mrs, Gallagher . feared she herself had forgotten how to prepare delectable viands and she Wag not wiilir to trust herself with To em- and desperate chance. ta..e long . What should she do, she asked, as she talked the situation over with Rose— that was the name of the maid. Rose immediately climbed to the topmost peak of the emergency. 3 “Why, I used to cook at home,” She said, “and papa thought’ nobody could _ make things quite as delicious as I did. ‘Let me get the dinner.” Getiegher gazed at the soft Turned QOut hands of the pretty maid and inwardly thought it would be a shame to have them handling pots and kettles, but she was in a desperate situation: besides, she felt for a long time that Rose’s duties as maid were not arduous and need not require all her time. Reluctantly she consentéd to let Rose get the dinner. And Rose got it, and served it. More than all this, she «om- ported herself in such dainty fashion that hosts and guests were charmed. Now Rose was a slender, lithe creature with whom even the postman might be smitten. She wore her hair in a fas- cinating knot coiled on top of her head. During the dinner she appeared in a gown of spotiess white, crisp and fresh from the laundry, presenting a fetching picture, as Mrs. Gallagher herself after- ward admitted to the Court. She moved from the kitchen to dining room with 4 noiseless step and the grace of a gazelle. When she spoke her voice was like rip- pling music. Mrs. Gallagher remem- bered it all afterward. When the dinner was over and the guests had departed Mrs. Gallagher went up to her boudoir. Mr. Gallagher, she supposed, went to his den to smoke. The pretty maid remained in the kitchen. Strange But Familiar Sounds. It was too early to retire; besides, Mrs. Gallagher was not sleepy, so she threw herself down on a couch and picked up her novel and began to read. Not many minutes had passed when she thought she heard the sound of heavy teet treading toward the kitchen. She didn’t give this any attention, but a few minutes later strange sounds were cracking in the speaking tube that led from her boudoir to the kitchen—sounds that were very like those produced by the diaphragm of a telephone receiver when lightning strikes the wire. Mrs. Gallagher arose and placed her ear to the speaking tube. For a few seconds she could hear nothing. The crackling noises had ceased, but she thought she could hear rumblings of voices speaking in tones low and sweet. Instantly he: sense of hearing became intensely keen. It was herrible to be an eavesdropper, but she just must listen. Presently she heard a man, unmis- takably her own beloved “hubby,” say something about a bewitching little fairy, and then a loud ‘“‘smack’”’ smote her eardrums. She was astounded. Her husband kissing somebody? Impossible; Yet that was his voice she }:ad heard. But who could he be kissing? There was no one downstairs that she knew of except the maid, and sure- ly he wouldn’t descend to osculation with the servant? Why, she had never known him to give Rose scarcely more than a cursory glance, to say nothing about cultivating an acquaintance that would justify even a stolen kiss! But Mts. Gallagher lUstened longer. She heard another smack through the speaking tube, and another and anvuth- er till they came so fast that she con- ‘cluded somebody must be engaged in a kissing and hugging match. Then she rushed furieusly downstairs. She reached the kitchen just in time to see the cellar door shut on the flying coat tail of Mr. Gallagher. She de- ecended without making the least noise, she believed. Yet her husband had tied into the basement. Was the maid with him? There wasn’t a sign of Rose in the kitchen, but there was a linen chute that led to the basement. Was “Repairing the Furnace.” “Happy thought,” said Mrs. Gal- lagher to herself. “I'll play it’s a speaking tube.”’ So she placed her ear to the upper end of the chute. Mrs. Gallagher said on the witness stand, during the divorce hearing: “I heard him kiss that woman 2 times. I was about to go into the basement and charge him with his perfidy, when tney came upstairs together. And then the man I had loved—O, so tenderly—had the impudence to tell me he had been repairing the furnace!” At that point In her story Mrs. Gal- lagher broke de~w~ and sobbed in the witness chair. She had come to court in a mournful garb of black and with a heavy veil hiding her handsome face. When she ,began testifying, however, she raised her vell, disclosing features that looked white as snow in contrast with her mortuary habiliments. As she wept her eyes and face reddened, but this only heightened her beauty and she excited not only the compassion, but the admiration of the curiosity - seeking throng in the courtroom. Stranger revelations were to come be- fore the aggrieved wife's lips closed on the final story of her infelicity. She told Judge McEwen that in response to her husband's pleadings she forgave him for the kissing of the maid; thy discharged the girl and soon after re- moved to Chicago. that big city she came across a letter in her husband's pocket one day that roused he suspicions.

Its rates are 80 high that scarcely anyone but a ‘nil- lionaire can reside there.

They went te anether restaurant. I followed, but kept out ef their sight. There they had a midnight supper. Aft- er the supper they again took a cab and went te still another cafe. More wine.

(Tt doesn’t mean merely that shirt- | Walsted men will be wvdmitted to church. iit means thai men nay “take off their ; Vea;rs , - wi coats,” which is a very different propo- sition. In one downtown restaurant, where hundreds of business men lunch daily, there are conspicuous signs, which read: ‘Take off your coat and be comfort- able.”’ And many take advantage of that invitation. Recently Judge Kinsey of the Circuit Court of St. Louis was hearing a case at the Courthouse. The weather was extremely hot and the courtroom felt or less like an oven. Lawyers perspiring and panting, getting hotter as they argued and wrangled. Witnesses seemed about to wilt, and Judge himself did not look particularly comfortable. ‘Mnally ex-Judge Bond, one of the lawyers enga;ed In the trial of the case, more were hotter and the no longer. Your Honor for per- attorneys engaged in neve their coats?’ remarked that owing heat he was perfectly could stand ii “Mav { request missi this : wo Jud: + Kir to the extreme far tbe willing to grant the request. Several of the lawyers at once shuffled out of their ceats and their faces took en a look of relief. Nething had been said about wit- nesses, however, so one ‘witness, who didn’t have the privilege of making a personal appeal verbally to the Court, glanced up at the bench with an: ap- pealing expression in his eye and then divested himself of his coat. After that, with a sly glance to see what effect his act had had on the Court, he al- lowed his suspenders to slip off his shoulders and dangle about his hips. If the Judge noticed this, he gave no sign, and the witness was tacitly per- mitted to do that which on a cooler day would have brought down on his head a stirring rebuke, perhaps a tine for contempt of court. But the hot weather had made the surface evidences of judicia) dignity melt. This recalls a rather amusing thing that happened in one of the higher Ei «- lish courts a few years agv. It was an excessively hot day and everybody in the court was suffering from the heat, particularly the presiding Justice, w.o was compelled by custom to wear not only the flowing robes of his office, but the big official!

The ‘awyers and litigants regarded his Hon- or with amazement, but his Honor did not care. He was comfortabie, or rath- er much nearer comfort than he had been with the wig on. But the newspapers, or some of the newspapers, treated the incident with reat seriousness, a few of then: admon- ishing the eminent Judge for his “lev- ity” on the bench, and it even was questioned as to whether his acts, wig- less, were of any legal force. But the Judge didn’t mind what was said. ‘*The law is common sense,” is an old sayir«, and he felt that “common sense’ War- ranted the removal of the wig from his overheated pate. “SUNDAY MAGAZINE, ST.

HE Texas statute requiring hotel ty landlords to furnish their beds with sheets et least nine feet long is a striking illustration of the @valance of reform legislation poured Gown upon the Lono Star State by its thirtieth Legislature. Fifty new radical measures went into effect early in July, forming the great- est volume of reform legislation ever enacted at one sitting by any Legisla- s involving the Standard ters-Pierce oil companies and investigations. The r State felt pretty sure the Stan- @ard Oil Co. had buncoed us right and left for years," these men say, “and had a pretty strong suspicion that the Other trusts were doing the same thing. So we set out to hit every trust head in

Sight. Of cvurse, the situation is unique, but Texas means business.”’ ‘The 530 new laws affect every phase of life, from tne cradle to the grave, and from the most trivial domestic details to big financial matters involving many millions of dollars. They have to do with bedclothes, temperance, high finance, trusts, politics and every other con- tingency of human existence. Texas has a larger territory than any State in the Union and her population exceeds 3,000,000. These people are the sturdiest type of Americans, strong phy- sically, resolute, intelligent, ready to fight for their rights, and they are thor- oughly aroused. They have set upon predaceous capital tooth and nail. They are “‘mad in earnest.’’ Kut the merchant who sees a Peniten- tiary sentence facing him if he sells trust-made articles, ruefully wonders if his /orethren in the Legislature have not gone “a leetie too fur.”’ “What is a trust’’ he asks himself, “and isn’t everything in these _ ding- blasted days made by a trust?’ That is one very knotty question to be decided by the Texas Judges. No more can an eminent Justice of the Peace arrogate to himself the tile of “the Law West of the Pecos.’* Texas has more new law and a greater variety of new law than any Commonwealth in the United States. And it is all to be judicially weighed and considered. More ‘han that, it snvolyes questions about which the ablest brains in the country have been puzzling themselves for sev- eral decades. The situation is this, using the land- lord for an illustfation: The hotel keeper has been putting skimpy sheets on his beds. The guest, even though he twisted and doubled into a knot, say the legislators, could not keep under the scant cover. And the landlord, when complained to, _re- marked: ‘Very well. go some place else.”’ But landlord ard guest both knew that, though there might be another inn available, the sheets were just as short there. So the Legislature lifted the Big Stick—the Big Stick of Texas—and biff! The landlords were dealt a-mem- orable blow with the ‘“Nine-foot Sheet Law.” “How can we put the trusts out of business?’ the law-makers asked them- selves. ““‘Why, simply by forbidding the sale of their products in this State.”’ Whack! Down came the Big Stick again, like a great flail, knocking the trusts rights and left. ‘Prison for any merchant who sells a trust-made arti- cle,” cried the legislators. The mer- chants drew a long biéath. “The big insurance companies are car- rying away millions of our dollars,” somebody remarked on the floor of the Legislative hall. There were nods of assent on all sides. ‘‘Let’s make ‘em iIn- vest the money here—at least 75 per cent of what they take from Texas people in premiums must be invested in Texas, eh!’’ That proposition seemed good to the legislators, and it was adopted. It is called the Robertson Act. Just before it became operative, 19 insurance com- panies, controtling 7 per cent of the outstanding life insurance in Texas, an- nounced their intention of withdrawing from the State. These companies with the number of policies each has outstanding, the amount of the policies and the premiums paid on them, are: |

let's give them a taste of discipline.’’ A law was passec forbidding any trainman to work more than eight hours in twenty-four. That meant the employ- ment'of several hundred more men and the increase in wages paid of about $200,000. But that didn’t matter to the Legislature. The railroads have to pro- tect life,”” said the lawmakers, ‘and they can’t do it with fagged-out and overworked trainmen.”’ Another law was passed forbidding any railroad employe from working more than 14 hours out of 24. All sorts of passes, franks and free privileges from corporations were wiped out at one sweep, and now when the politician rides, talks Over the tele- phone or sends a telegram he pays for it just like ordinary folks.

The penalty provided is a fine ranging from $1000 to $5000 and im- prisonment for from two to five years. The laws against the railroads reach even beyond the boundaries of the State. By one of the new acts the Attorney- Genera! is empowered to compel the attendance of witnesses from outside Staite lines and compel them to bring with them what books or papers he de- sires. On pain of disobedience, judgment may be entered without more ado ageinst the road. Another railroad act is that requiring every locomotive in use in the State to be equipped within six months with an electric headlight of not less than 1500 candle power. If such headlight is not installed on a locomotive no plea of contributory negligence or open crossing will be entertained by the courts in damage suits for personal injuries. The liquor traffic has been subjected to a number of new and stringent regu- lations. Every city biock In which there is a school or a church has local option. In all cases, application for a saloon license must come from a man who has been, for a period of two years or more, a law-abiding citizen of the precinct or city in which he makes ap- plication. His taxes have been increased 25 per cent and his license fee from $60) to $750. A license is forfeited if a woman or minor is permitted to enter the place where liquor is sold, this applying to grocery stores which handle beer. A woman is not permitted to hold a sa- loon license, But the greatest confusion in the liquor trade was caused by “the Pol- lard hiatus.’’ On May 2% Attorney- General Claud Pollard handed down an opinion construing the new law to re- peal a)l existing laws and to revoke all existing licenses.

case the husband or father dies $500 is given to the family. St. Louis has enly this one ce-oper- ative store. It is operated by Italians. The plan of management is ene held by many sociologists, and by Upton Sinclair, the Chicago literary secialist, in particular. The working plan is re- markabiv simple; and it is a matter of amazement that such a stwre conducted on such a basis could succeed. On Dago Hill live more than one thousand Italiana, all from Northern Italy. Nine hundred and fifty are band- ed together as the North Italian-Amert- ean Society, to reduce the cost of living through the mutual! benefits ef a co- operative store. The history of : ¢ organization {is eim- ple. In M:, 1897, Cesar Oldani gath- ered around him 200 of his fellow coun- trymen, persuaded each to pay an ini- tiation fee of $3 and with the resulting %.J opened up a co-operative store on Shaw avenue. His plan was to let the members buy on credit, elect their offi- cers, have a sick benefit and share in the dividends. Contrary to all expecta- tions from outsiders the store flourished. There have been cany managers of the store since its organization with a cor- responding number of internal imbrog- ios, but still the store has grown. To it was sdded a drinking club, 6 Gance hall, a shoe store, and lastly a uniformed Italian band. Each month the grocery, directed by Ton! Pellegrini, has sales atnount- ing to appro. aately $11,000. The buying is done on credit, but the mem- bers are required te pay up twice a month. Dago Hill could well be called Little Italy, since only persons from the sun- ny land live in its vicinity. The men find work in the nearby brickyards and in the rallroad shops. Scores of Italian women fill the coun- ter seats from morning until late even- ing at the grocery. Each patiently awaits her t.rn, and makes no com- plaint if she has to‘spend an hour be- fore being waited upon. Ez=ch woman has e capacious basket carried on her arm by a single handle, and when each housewife leaves ft is filled to over- flowing. Special inducements are of- fered to purchasers. }: lemnen water is given to all, and es each purchaser leaves she and her ciiidren are given either a emall sack of candy or & handful ef pean::‘s. The first week in January the mana- gers of the two stores and for the drink- ing club are elected. The time for them to hold office is one year, but should one of the officers prove inefficient he may be ousted at any called meeting. The saloon, or, as it is dignified by the word club. is at baw Shaw avenue, half a block from the grocery. Cecare Re is manager. He has 192 paid-up members, who never think of buying @ quart of beer at any other place. Prices for intoxican‘s at the club are some- what lower than at rival drinking houses. .A small bottle of St. Louis beer may be bought for 10 cents, and a quart size for 2 cents. Joseph Arriotto is master of the Ital- eee ee

lan Nortn American Miytary Band, an organization of 26 pieces. It gives free concerts Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, and makes many trips to small towns around St. Louts. The band is supported by the colony. -~he selling price in the shoe store and in the grocery is about five or six per cent lower than it Is in other stores. On an average the stores clear about 24 per cent. Frem this ameunt the man- agers and clerks are paid, and the re- mainder goes toward the sick and death benefit. Te insure an interest being taken in the successful management of the stores nearly all the clerks are minor officers in the organization. If they show faithful ser vice as clerks they may be chosen as rianager of the store. To become manger ot any of the or- ganizations is tie pinnacle of success on Dago Hill. The financial emolu- ment is worth having and the social prestige is almost autocratic. Ton! Pellegrini is the manager of the grocery, and has been its Present ir- cumbent for three months.

OF Jirange @oman of the Monii- cello--Uinknowns” @ho Flock to the Modern Family Hotel” and Hide heir Past--JSources of Income and Relations a Jecret_- How Wealth May Vanish After a Sud- den Death 64 HE Mystery of the Ho- gt tel Monticeello’’ ’is typ ical of anew and pecu- liar phase of modern American life. The story of Mrs. Nannie L. Long and the veil she drew about all her affairs in life, together with the remark- able events which followed her death, possesses in itself a fasci- nating human interest, but the true interest in her story lies not in missing heirs, missing wills or missing stock certifi- cates, but in the fact that just such a drama of mystery might develop in-any ‘‘family hotel’’ in the country. Her story was no isolated incident, but a logical development of twentieth cen- tury American conditions. HE family hotel is a modern in- T stitution. It occupies a middle ground between the regular com- mercial hostelry and the private board- ing house. In such a hotel none is sub- jected to the close scrutiny of person- ality and habits which exists in ail boarding houses. Nor is one in the glare of publicity that attends life in the large commercial hotels. There is privacy without intimacy. The surroundings are ideal for just such a case as that of Mrs. Nannic Veigh Long, the “Woman of Mvstery,” who died at the Hotel Monticello in St. Louis July 5, leaving behind her a strange tangle that set all the city guessing. “The Mystery of the Hotel Monti- cello” might be duplicated any day of the world in some “family hote]” in any city in the United States. The story of Mrs. Long is replete with human interest, with romance, with mystery and with plots tangled and twisted almost past belief. Yet, in its essentials, the same sort of a thing happen over and over again un- der the family-hotel system. A consideration of this remarkable case shows, on its face, how a com- fon drama might be expected in any tion similar to the Monticello. The story naturally presents itself in a and should so considered, thus: CHAPTER I. HANDSOME woman, approaching middle age, elegantly clad, bring- ing several trunks with her, ap- plies for a suite of rooms at the hotel. She wears jewels. Her gowns are nu- merous and rich. She has an air of wealth and refinement. The clerk deferentially presents the register and she signs her name: “Mrs. Nannie L. Long.”” Who is Mrs. Long? The clerk does not know. The other guests do not know. They may see her at the table or in the hotel parlor and ask about her. “That's Mrs. Long,” says somebody. Beyond that, all is terra tncegnita. ‘Is she rich?’ and the answert “She dresses elegantly and spends money, she must have a full purse.” She has the air of an aristocrat. Her demeanor is marked by pronounced hauteur. At times—when anyone pre- sumes to show an inquisitive spirit—she can and does adopta poseof icy dignity that freezes questions en the lips of the questioner. That icy barrier is impene- trable. But, when net subjected te in- quisition or teo great familiarity, her manners possess @ rare and tndescrib- oats vharm. She is magnetic, unusually Bu’. “whe ts shet’ Nobody knows.

Bao Ne IS | MRS, LONG THe. WOMAN | | VSTERY, TAKEN ISHORTLY BEFORE HER DEATH. She is a perfect type of that mysteri- ous and peculiar personality with which “the family hotel’’ has to do sv often. CHAPTER II. RS. LONG is 38 years old. Ap- M parently she enjoys most vigor- ous health. She is handsome, notably se, and when she desires, can exercise a remarkable power of fasci- nation. “Is she a widow?’ somebody Nobedy can answer the question with certainty, but there is a vague impres- sion among the guests (nobody knows just where or how it originated) that her husband is dead and that his estate fur- nishes the means for living in her rather magnificent style. At times a young man visits her. Idly, the hotel guests ask each other who he is. “Mr. Stuckman,” somebody says; she has been overhead to address him bv that name. Once in a while she goes out with the young man, to his mother’s house, the guests understand. “Surely this couple, with such a differ- ence in their ages, cannot be sweet- hearts.”’ “No, that is absurd,” someone an- swers, “she is a friend of the young man’s family.’’ CHAPTER III. RS. LONG plans a trip te Cana- M da. The weather is hot in St. Leuts, and her thoughts turn toward the cool and aristocratic re- sorts of the St. Lawrence and the lakes. As usual, before she goes on an exten- sive teur—and she goes on many—she has her wardrebe replenished. Her dressmaker is Mrs. Claire E. Lais ef.1223 North-Sarah street. She is hav- ing a dress fitted there one June day. The dressmaker is hurrying with the work, for Mrs. Long expects te leave July 1. Sbe is languid and seems weary. Suddenly she grows’ faint and ill and the fitting has te be abandoned. Mrs. Long hastens back te the hotel and takes te her bed, from which she never again is to rise. Dr. B. R. Meng of 7238 Taylor avenue is summoned. He diagnoses her iliness as heart disease and regards it as criti- eal. She is reticent. He knows noth- ing of her affairs. “If you have any business te attend te,” he remarks, “I advise that you give it immediate attention.” She regards him with a cold and haughty air. After he has gone she remarks to Mrs. May I. Retban of 442 Berlin avenue, a friend: who is visiting her dafly: “I have,an intense disitke of anyone interfering with my private affairs.”’ She seems te have fn mind the phy- sician’s admenition te prepare her busi- ness matters in the interest of pru- aence. “I have made a will,” she adds, wear- ily, “that lifts a great burden eff my shoulders." asks. i_))) Mrs. NANNIE LeiGH LONG. A HITHER TO UNPUB- LISHED PORTRAIT. CHAPTER IV. reported about the hotel Mrs. Long, “‘the woman of mys- tery,’’ is dying. Young Mr. Stuck- man is there often. The manager of the hotel asks him a direct question: “Are you a relative of Mrs. Long?” ‘“No,”’ the young man is said to have replied, “I am engaged to be married te her.’ He is advised that it would be well to summon some member of her fam- ily. He says he is trying to do that. The morning of July 5 dawns. It is het and the day before was very noisy, with its uproarious patriotism. Mrs. Long is in a sort of stupor. She is sinking. The end is near. Mrs. Rothan and the trained furse are watching anxiously, awaiting developments. They remember the words of the dy- ing woman: “I have made a will which lifts a great burden from my shoulders.”’ Towards evening they see the shadow ef death stealing swiftly over the wom- an they watch so closely. Dr. Meng is summoned post haste. He comes quiet- $ He has been expecting this. A lit- e later he says: “It is over.” And they gently close her eyes. Whatever secrets were locked in her proud bosom will never be known now. The seal of death is on her lips. CHAPTER V. E VENTS hurry on the heels of each 7 that other. The situation rapidly be- comes complicated. For five day the body of the remarkable woman lies at the Wagoner undertaking establish- ment. Mr. Stuckman and Mrs. Rothan ask permission to take away private papers. The hotel management is rath- er dubious, but the manager himself is requested to be present. Instead, he sends the housekeeper, Mrs. Hightower. Mr. Stuckman is much affected. He is in deep grief over the demise of his friend. Tears blur his eyes. He finds a package of letters. “These I wnote to her,’ he says to Mrs. Rothan and Mrs. Hightower. He puts the package in his pocket. Later he finds a photograph of himself and another of Mrs. Long. He is said to ‘have looked at that thoughtfully, re- “marking: “We had that taken in Arkansas.”’ Het keeps the letters and the pictures. Mrs. Rothan destroys a number of Iet- ters. They are said to have been writ- ten to Mrs. Long by B. Kahnweiler of Florida, and by John W. O’Brien, exam- iner for the United States Appraiser. These letters were torn into pieces and thrown upon the floor. The trio then leave the room, Mrs. Rothan cafrying with her some rer- fume and wine, according to a state- ment made by Mrs. Hightower. CHAPTER VI. N addition to the letters and photo- | graphs young Mr. Stuckman car- ried away with him a suit case and a white dress, ene ef the handsome gowns Mrs. Leng had worn and at- tracted so much attention with. “This is to bury her in,” he remarked to Mrs. Hightower. On July 10 the funeral fs held from the chapel of the undertaking establish- ment. The services are in private and the interment is in the family ‘ot of the Stuckmans. Afterwards there transpires a strange incident. The funeral bill is paid. By whom? ‘The head of the undertaking establish- ment says the settlement was made by B. Kahnweiler. Who B. Kahnweiler is or what interest he had in Mrs. Long, the undertaker does not know. His own interest ended with the settlement of the funeral costs. Then B. Kahnweliler passes from the scene, as silently and as mysteriously as he came. Some days afterward Mr. Stuckman, when questioned concerning this individual who added such a touch of mystery to the mysterious case, says: . ew Kahnweiler was a friend of Long. He lives in Florida. I was vie to reach her son or any other so I telegraphed Kahnwetller to come and advise with me about the funeral. I paid the bill myself, not Kahnweiler. CHAPTER VII. ™ THE meantime Marry Troll, Pub- ic Administrator, appears on the scene. He is informed by the he- tel peeple that Mrs. Long is dead: that nev persona: cffects at the hotel are@ worth more than $8000 and thatgno one has appeared to claim them. Mr. Troll investigates. He learns she was a Miss La Madrid, a native of France; that she married a Col. Ber- trand, a very wealthy man in New Or- leans, when she was a young girl; that Col. Bertrand died and that she married } that she in Cali- Dr. Harry Long in St. Louis; divorced Dr. Long, lhe being fornia at the present time. But the two facts with which he is most concerned are the information that sire had a son, Woodward Bertrand, aged 18 years, thought to be a student at Cornell, and-that she is supposed te have owned at least $10,000 worth of stock tn a Columbus, O., manufacturing company. What are these statements based on? The most intangible evidence. She told her dressmaker that she had a son and tliat she owned corporation stock.

What became of her stock and bonds? What were the papers destroyed after her death? Where is her son? told Mrs. Rothan the same thing. So far as could be ascertained nene ef her friends had seen either the son er the stock certificates. “If those stock certificates are net forthcoming by the time I make my re- port,” said Mr. Troll, “I will -have to call on the persons who entered that room to answer for what was destroyed by them.” “That is very embarrassing to ene who sought to perform a friendly of- fice,’ answered Mr. Stuckman. “We merely destroyed private correspond- ence and saw no stock certificates. I have my doubts about her ewning any such property. We carried the jewels, insted and sealed, -to the hotel office, where it was locked in the safe. The hotel people promised to keep the room locked. But when I had occasion to return te the hotel I found two cham- bermaids cleaning up in the room where her trunks were.” ee CHAPTER VIII. R. TROLL decides to look up her NV- attorney. Who is her attorney? The late G. W. Taussig served as her legal adviser until his death a couple ef years ago, Mr. Troll is in- formed. He gees to the effice formerly occupied by this lawyer. Yes, he is told, Mr. Taussig was her attorney, but after Mr. Taussig’s death, Albert Hausman, who succeeded to his business, turned over all her papers to her. Mr. Hausman is out of the city for a few days, it is said. Later Mr. Hausman is lecated in 4 small Missourl town. He declares that _ SUNDAY, MAGAZINE -ST. LOUIS shortly after Mr. Taussig’s death he surrendered to Mrs. Long all her papers that had been in Mr. Taussig’s custody. “The paper on top was marked ‘The last will and testament of Mrs. Nannie Long,’ but I did not read it nor do I know its contents,” he said. Subsequently he admitted serving as Mrs. Long’s attorney after the death of Mr. Taussig. “Where is the will?” Mr. Troll asks of all who might, by any chance, have this information. But he learns noth- ing. The will and the stock certificates, if any exist, have vanished entirely, it would seem. a eee HAPTER IX. HE son seems to have disappeared along with these documents. He cannot be located. He is wun- known at Cornell. “I Was requested by Mrs. Long to _ make an analysis of a cod-liver-oll prep- aration ‘they’ were giving her son in the West,” said John W. O’Brien, the chem- ist, whose letters were destroyed. “That was my only intercourse with her. I submitted the result of mv analysis in & communication sent by mail. I was informed that the son was fn delicate health.'"t Personal propefty and jewels worth $8500 and perhaps stock in a corpora- tion, worth even more than that, will be Woodward Bertrand’s in return for the mere announcement of his where- abouts. “I wanted to telegraph for her son,” says Mrs. Rothan, “but she would not consent, saying he was not strong « - 5 v 4° My eee D& . a. é s . — . - © Ag _* > ¥ A tee + so os = nv 4 4 ia eed ares fen 8 OS 25 SB SACRA Ge ks: enough to make the leng trip to her.

This letter says: “Oh, I an so tired of this running around, This, however, will be the last (heavily scored) year I think as I am thinking serfousiy of making a radical cNange.

“9 Have an Ideal, and I'm Living Up to It,” Says Shis Modern Girl ) fs ° 2 | & How She Rides in Man’s Costume. ET lingerie languish now, and fur; belows fade. The girl has been found at last who is done with them foréver. Pajamas and overalls and jumpers and sack coats and—whis- per it gently!—trousers, too, for this newest of new young women. Of course, her name must be told at once. She is Miss Dolores /oquette, just turned 2). Sie lives with her fa- ther and mother on a splendid 75-acre estate, seven miles to the north of West Boylston, Mass., heart-whole and fancy free. She has her horse and her auto ‘wnd her gun and her fishing tackle. She fives the outdoor life; she lives it in the clothes of the other sex, too, let those who carp—and there are many in such a prim New England town—say what they will. Everybody knows of Dr. Mary Walker, who wore trousers despite the police. But she didn’t wear them when she was young, and nobody now will accuse this strenuous advocate of the costume mas- culine of any claims to attractive fem- ininity. Then there was Miss Maude Chase, who wore pink pajamas on the stage some years ago for a large salary. But she wore them only on the stage. And there was Iole, who roamed the wildwood in the garb of a man and made good—but, then, she was only a fancy of Robert W. Chambers, and she Was never, never seen outside the page of his novel. On the other hand, Miss Poquette is Young and pretty and fetching and “lever—and all that sort of thing. And she is a real persen, young and not: on the stage. So it’s different. Then there is the ideal to which she is trying to approach. Spe tools her auto en garcon; she rides her horse astride. She goes hunt- ing in canvas togs that a sportsman might envy. There is no plenitude of skirts to bother her when she has a fence to climb, and she doesn’t get tan- gled up in the bushes when sne does flv- fishing for trout. “T will never, again" That is the last word of Miss Poquette, snd well emphasized, too. She fore- swore them nine months ago, and sh: means to keep her vow. No pett'coat, for her; no, sirree! So today she is lead- ing a well-nigh ideal life up in her Mas- nachusetts hills. You may see her any day tripping through the woods or going cver the roads in her motor car or on her horse. never wear i skirts ~~ ATT. te ACB Pe a a ae She is supple of limb and strong of arm, thanks to her outdoor life. She pitches a ball as a boy does; she plays best behind the bat, however, and that is her favorite position on the nine when she plays. She has an eye on the ball, too, When she is at bat, and iaces out her singles and two-baggers ‘ust as we'l as$ unv MAN. Of all her forms of exercise, tree chop- ping is her favorite, just as it is with our lusty President. She can swing an ax with all his precision, and she can bring down a fair-sized tree with all the skill of a woodsman. Chopping a cord of wood is a morning appetitzer for Miss Poquette. She can run, too. More than one country boy has found himself distanced when it has come to a footrace with this girl who despises petticoats. Strangest of all, Miss Poquette never Was a harum-scarum little girl. Quite the contrary; She is fresh from the con- ventions and formalities of a convent. Until last autumn her fathcr and :noth- er lived in Lonsdale, R. I., and Miss Poquette was sent to the convent at Providence. There she received the finishing touches to her education— French, music, literature, ecience, his- tery and all that. But now she’s free! She can do as she wills. And she’s doing it.- Further- more, Miss Poquette doesn't mind tell- ite about it at all. She was found on the banks of a teeming trout’ stream, “ungling for a basket of finny. beauties. And she was in a fetching jumper and overalls of white, aitogether becoming. “Why do I put aside petticoats and lingerie?” ‘laughed Miss Poquette. ‘“‘Be- cause I want to. . Isn't that reason enough?” “When I came here.a little less than @ year ago, fresh from the convent, I vas overjoyed wiih the prospect of liv- ing in the great, wide-open country. There war. only one drawback. I was hampered in my wanderings through the woods and in my jumps over fences and walls by my skirts. It had never oc- eurred to me before that they were a drawback: a hindrance to a girl's free- dom, “I thought it ever: I read a great deal about it.

For 1ayself, [ decided to reform immediately. “I went to Worcester that very day and bought some boys’ clothing. The clerk in the men’s establishment was surprised—very much so—and when I told him, with all the’ calmness I could assume, that I wanted them to fit me, his surprise knew no bounds. “He didn’t: make any inquiries; he probably thought I was crazy; but |] now deal with that clerk altogether and never have any difficulty in get- ting anything I want. I may say right here that while I know my dress has caused considerable talk and friction in the town, and that nine-tenths of’ the comment is against me, no one has ever spoken a word to me about it. ‘I meet many men and womenevery day—many of them strangers. Al) have appeared to regard my dress as strictly proper, and in my own hearing, at least, they have never made a remark about it. “When summer came I again went to Worcester and bought some sets of white overalls and jumpers. I cal! them that, though they look like pajamas. You can’t imagine how comfortable they are. In this loose-fitting attire I roam about the place on the warmest days and never notice the heat. “It is my custom to ride inte town | every afternoon for the mail. It is a good seven miles from ficre and on one or two occasions have I walked this distance. I ride astride and bare- back, though seldom into town with- out a saddle. “I always have time enough to saddle Lucy, my horse. They tell me that I create quite a stir in the town when I go for the mail dressed in this way every day. If so, I have failed to ob- serve any signs of it. I have never seen a crowd follow me. The stir must have been Caused by gossips, but the one storekeeper who broached the sub- ject to my mother was promptly in- formed ef his place and of the fact that idle gossip wouldn't cause her daughter to change her mode of dress. “There is really nothing else te tell. [ shall always wear this attire. Should I ever marry and have children—giris I mean—I would have them dress like myself, and I should continue to dress as now, even after marriage. But I am not treubling myself about getting mar- ried. I have my fishing rod and my gun. I am as good a shot as there is in the neighberhood. I have my saddle horse and my car.

Chief Bowie has been doing some computing to determine this city’s stand- ing from the point of climatic health- fulness. A record for the past 37 years of this city’s weather changes has been kept. “Tt find,” said Mr. Bowie, “that this city hae several climatic conditions in her favor over other cities of the Middle Weet.

placed the case in the hands of hei attorney and it was with reference to this case that Constable Gately called Mrs. McBride up over the telephone on the day of the tragedy. Mrs. McBride is the wife of William A. McBride, a traveling salesman. She has lived in Lowell since early child- hood. She is famous locally for her beauty and she is possessed of a com- fortable little fortune, part of which she recently invested in her millinery store. Kelley is probably five years younger than the pretty milliner. He is the son of an old Lowell family, and he never hesitated to say that he had fallen in love with Mrs. McBride and wanted her to elope with him. Whether Kelley ever really asked her to elope with him or not is not known, but the fact remains that they did not elope, that she evaded him and his un- welcome attentions whenever she could CONSTABLE BERNARD J. GATELY. and finally sought protection from the police. A Warrant was to have been issued for the arrest of Kelley several weeks ago, but the McBrides delayed action on it and had the warrant held up, as they dreaded notoriety and had hopes that the young man would eventually come to his senses. But Kelley loved the woman too well to leave her alene, and, resigning his position, he donned his best clothes on a recent afternoon, preparatory to going away. He called Mrs. McBride by tele- x (SS = oe hpenres . oe: one

The woman told the threat to Miss Anna Van Ness, her head clerk, and the latter advised calling the police. “I am not afraid of Kelley,” Mrs. Mc- Bride sald. When Kelley called, as he said he would, Mrs. McBride was talking over the telephone :with Constable Gately, She tried to evade him, but the man fired from short range. “I never expect to have another ex- perience like it in my lIife,’’ said Con- stable Gately to a Post-Dispatch repre- sentative. “It was just as plain as theugh it came from a phonograph. At the time the woman screamed I had the transmitter c'ose to my ear, for I was listening intently for the name of the lawyer, it being important that I find out at once. “Our conversation had been of a pri- vate nature and was ef short duration. I could hear the woman speaking very plainly. “When I asked the name of her lawyer my answer came back in the ferm of a noise that shocked us all at the office. I knew that something terrible had hap- pened, for the woman would not have screamed at me for a joke. Tlie sound was unearthly. It was the scream of a woman facing death, and as it came in- to my ear it sent the shivers down my back. “Close upon that sound there was another more significant. I have heard a pistol shot on a phonograph many times, but this one was fired appar- » ently right into the phone, for we all — heard it as though it had been in the next room. The effect of the screams and the shot were such that for a moment I was powerless to move a muscle, I still held the phone to my ear and called: ‘Mrs. McBride, Mrs. McBride!’ “IT could distinctly hear another woman close to the phone, and later discovered that it was Miss Van Ness, who had rushed up to her employer when she was shot. Then there were shouts and screams and a great deal of noise that I could not understand. “T heard someone say, ‘ambulance.’ and was so thoroughly convinced that there had been a tragedy that I at once called the ambulance station and gave Mrs... McBride's address, “Go to 229 Dutton street at once. A woman has been shot!’ I told the ambulance man who answered the telephone. “We will be right there.’ “I sat back in my chair and there was eae cold sweat on my face. I knew Mrs. McBride well and understood something about her troubles with Kelley. It was because I knew some- thing of her story that everything pointed to a tragedy. Instinctively [ knew that Kelley had shot Mrs. Me Bride.” ; James Kelley, fatier of the accused — man, is a veteran of the Civil War . and is one ef Lowell's best citizens, One son, whe has been preparing for _ result of his a up his studies as a brother’s crime.

Frances rubbed her eyes and then was astonished to notice, for the first time, she had six little claws on each hand, and they were covered with soft fur. “Come to look, she was furry all over, just like Fluffie; and her body was so light that it seemed as if she could easily fly. “I guess ['ll try a humming-bird,” she said to herself, with cage: delight. So she crouched on all-fours, and sprang at one that was flitting about the honevsuckle. ; She failed to get the humming-bird, however, because there was a spray of crimson rambler roses in the way, which threw her down and scratched her. Then she lay in wait. awhile for a ground mole, which work digging a subway under the garden walk. But Mr. G. Mole was very shy, and little Frances Pussy grew tired of waiting for him. _ A bunch of sparrows were chattering together on a low bough of the pear tree. They were really tempting cat providence, it seemed. So Miss Frances scampered up the tree trunk like a shadow and made a clutch for the nearest bird. ae Whir-r-r! it flew off, with the others. in the most tantalizing , way, and then all the sparrows perched on a high branch and 1ocked at poor puss. until she cried with vexation. Being a cat wasn't so much fun, after all, thought Frances, sa big yellow dog leaped over the fence and made for her. She mace a dash for the kitchen door. It was elosed; but, fortunately, Bridget haprened along at that moment, and chased Frances into the house with a broomstick. Frances sneaked into the pantry, for she was now desperately hungry and thirsty. and felt as weak as a cat. Nothing in sight to eat or drink. She mewed aloud, but no- body answered. So she sprang up on a shelf. where a smali cream jug looked promising. In her guilty haste she knocked it over, | ‘* Aha! now you’ve done it!’ cried black Sambo. the short- haired eat, peering in through the mosquito bar. “‘It’s bad luck to upset a eream jug.

The le explanation lies in the fact that you had mumbled something incoherently te yourself, and he being the nearest per- son mistook it for an address to him. It would not take much of an imagi- native short story writer to see how two rivais in the business world, pass- ing each other in the corridors of their buildings or at the club, could, by a few chance words, gain inside infor- mation of some large business deal, and be able to take advantage of it. The Chinese believe that only a per- son who is partially mentally unfit, talks in his sleep, and that the vigor- oue-minded person never does.

AVE ali the ministerial denunciations of “part- time’ and “trial” marriages been in vain’ Are sweeping changes tn our marital arrange. ments imminent, after all? Certainly, to the modern girl, matrimony ne longer seems necessarily to mean settling down and keep- ing house for a husband. Comparatively few young business or professional women marry with the in- tention of wholly giving up their work, and most of them have ideas in regard to their rights and priv- lleges as individuals which conflict sharply with old- fashioned ideas in regard to the @uties and responsi- bilities of wives. None of them is willing to refrain from marriage on the ground tnat its terms do not sult her. Therefore, eome of them have €@ne to work to change its termg to suit themeelves. One progressive woman who has means eof ber own and a large medical practice maintains a flat entirely separate from the one @ccupied by her hus- band. She says she does it in order that they may remain as good friends as they were when they were first married. All their friends have become satisfied by this time that there actually is no rup- ture between them and that it is really true that they occupy different apartments only because it suits their convenience. Theirs was a most undoubted love match, but be- fore they had been living together six months they found that differences of temperament and taste made it absolutely impossible for them to werk out a satisfactory common life in a common bomeé. The husband was an artist, and as, the first flush of his youth had departed when he married, the care- less and disorderly habits of the artist and bachelor had become firmly settled upon him. The wife had been a scrupulous housekeeper as well a8 a con- scientious physician for more years before her mar- riage than she commonty cared to admit, and «@ hatred of dust and disorder was in her very Dieod. The man’s taste ran te heavy rugs and hangings, soft cushions, carved and upholstered furniture and & profusion of objects of art.
