Flits in and Out Without Say- » ing Anything to Aged Bridegroom.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Startling tes- timony concerning the versatility of the spook of the Indian maiden, “Bright Eyes,” was obtained from Edward

Ward Vanderbilt, the aged bridegroom of Mary Ann Scannel Pepper, in the County Court of Brooklyn. The lunacy commission which is examining the wealthy lumber merchant’s sanity was informed that “Bright Eyes’’ was fond of candy, drove a horse named Charley, used a telephone, wrote letters and had = @ . accomplishments that are rare - 4m _the spirit world. = hen Mr. Vanderbilt was asked where Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt was se- cluding herself from subpena_ service he replied that “Bright Eyes” refused to tell him. “Bright Eyes” had called him, up on the telephone last night. She talked from somewhere in Massachu- - Betts, but would not tell where. The, spirits “Bright Eyes” and “Thun- Wer Cloud’’—the handy spirits of the “other side,” who have done. such he services for Mrs. Pepper-Vander- pe jDilt—had a full inning before the luna- / €¥Y commission which examined Mr. —- Vanderbilt. _ He referred now and then to “Thun- | der, jJoud,”” who, it seems, was more or 4 Z.

Her messages were much better than Thunder Cloud's, much clearer.

He had presented her the deeds for a $10,000 house on the day of his mar- riage. He gave her another house a short |while afterward. “In one of your letters it is stated,” said Rosenberg, ‘‘that Bright Eyes had won her reward. Does that refer to the house?” “No,” snapped the witness: “‘It means that her reward was in bringing. joy to hundreds.’’ “Do you know anything bringing sorrow to thousands?’ not.’’ “Then do you believe in the perfect fidelity of Mrs. Pepper?’ “I do.’’ “What do you think of your wife's character?’ “She is a (fine, good woman; she is a good wife.’’ “Where did you get your opinion of her character?” “By living with her and studying her.’’ “Did you ever investigate her char- acter?’’ ‘Yes.°’ “What did you learn?’ “I found that she was a lady and a good woman.”’ Mr. Vanderbilt said he knew a man named Allen. He did not know what his relations had been with Mrs. Pepper- Vanderbilt, but understood they were friendly. “I believe they were very good friends,”’ he said. “Do you know a man named Pepper?” “Ne.” ’ about her ae i do Deceived Into Marrying. “What did you think ‘her relations with him were?” “She was deceived into marrying him. I understand that when he married Mrs. Pepper he had another wife living.’’ “Did you ever see or know of the existence of an affidavit in which Pe p- per says he never married your wife?’ “No”? “Did Mrs. Pepper tell you about it?’’ “xo.” “Do you know she lived in Brooklyn under the name of Mrs. George, and at that time she was living with George Pepper?’ °*‘No.” “Don’t you know this is true?’ “No.” “Did you ever hear that Mrs. Pepper was the inmate of a place in Provi- dence known as the ‘Grapevine?’ ”’ “No, sir,’’ responded Mr. Vanderbilt, his hatr and whiskers bristling with in- dignation. “Prior to your marriage did you pay for the seances you attended at Mrs. Pepper’s home?’’ , “Yes, I paid a fee of $2, but I only attended them once or twice a month. Then I became asso- ciate visitor of Mrs. Pepper, and was not charged for attending the seances.” “You believe in rappings?"” ‘Yes.’’ “Can you describe them?” “At some of the houses where I attended seances there would be dark and light circles. You would see things in the light cir- cles and hear rappings from, the dark circles.’’ ‘ Believes in Rappings. “You believe these rappings from the spirit world?’ “From some unknown power. I have no doubt that the rappings are to call attention to the presence of spirits. We don’t understand the law of this. We don’t understand the law of any- thing, the mind, memory, thought, electricity or of motion. We see only t-fir manifestations. It is only from their manifestation that we get any knowledge of them. “Once, when I was a young man, more than thirty years ago, I think, I was alone with my mother in her room, We heard rappings on the ceiling, on the windows and on other places. There Was no one in the house at the time who could have made the rappings."’ Lawyer Rosenberg endeavored _ to learn from Mr. Vanderbilt where his wife wag .visiting. “I do fiot know,’ responded the wit- ness. “She called me up on the tele- phone last night. I think she was somewhere in Massachusetts. She was in the control of Bright Eyes, and Bright Eyes did not tel! me where she were was. This switched the line of questioning back to the wraith of the Indian maiden and brought out some astonish- testimony about that keen-orbed attorney. “When I first went to Mrs. Pepper's house with my wife.” Took Her Word for It. The witness did not remember the date. He recalled seeing Mrs. Pepper go into control and then heard Bright Eyes talk through her. He had never seen Bright Eyes and only knew through Mrs. Pepper that she existed. He took her word for Bright Eyes with- out doubt or question. Then Mr. Rosenberg produced the following letter, which Mr. Vanderbilt identified as one he had received from the dusky little spook: . “My Dear Earth Friend: I cannot come to the farm with you today. I will be with you.next Sunday, as I cannot be with you now. My Meedy is not going to speak. We will try to have you see her. Meedy needs rest and a change trom her work and a ehange from vibration. I want to thank ou for my candy. I knew it was com- ng. I saw oop buy it. (Mr. Vander- bilt bought the candy in Brooklyn and papat Eyes wrote from a Swiss lake.) I thank by for Charley's picture. It is a good one—looks just iike him. I clipping in my ietter. My forgot it. « BRIGHT EYES” “6 © is Charley, Mr. Vanderbilt?” pursued the lawyer. “Charley is a horse.’ “Did Bright Eyes ever see Charley?" “Under control, yes.” “Did Bright Eyes ever drive him?’ “Yea, when she—no!”’ “Did yeu give the horse to Bright es?’ E “No.” “Didn S. you call him Bright Eyes

There is no way to tell.’’ The witness said he had municated with the Indian girl’s spirit concerning her future. She had never been asked by him to forecast anything. “Were you ever known by any other name than Edward?’ was asked. “Yes. Mrs. Pepper calls me ‘Herby,’ ”’ Mr. Vanderbilt explainea that he had taken the name Herbert and his wife the name of Bernice in the course of their investigations of a new cult. The leader of this cult had informed him that the names were more harmonious with their birth than Mary Ann and Edward Ward. “After that,”’ “my wife called called her ‘Berny. A letter Mrs. Pepper had written to her aged suitor was read, to which was added: “Bright Eyes is now with you. She must be with you. She gave me per- mission to wear her locket (a locket containing a picture of the horse Char- ley) only she says I must not lose the picture of the horse which is in it.’’ “Did Mrs. Pepper and Bright Eyes ever quarrel over the ownership of the locket?’’ asked Mr. Rosenberg. “Oh, no,’ replied the old man. : “‘At least I don’t think so.” Another letter was produced, in which Mrs. Pepper acknowledged the receipt of a pin, and said: ‘Tt is a beauty. I am wearing it for vibration and happiness.’’ Mr. Vanderbilt explained that the pin was a “codallo” and had cost him $1. When he purchased it he was informed that the wearer could receive thought vibrations and transmit them through the pin. More letters were produced, among them one from “Mamma,” who, it was explained, is the _ of the departed Mrs. Vanderbilt. t ran: “Papa—Bright Eyes and I-are here. We don’t want you to forget that we are with you. Soon we will all be together and come closer to one an- other.

Speaker Declares on Congress’ Wisdom Depends Republican Party’s Success. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Speaker Jos- eph G. Cannon, who is the guest of Con- gressman Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsyl- vania on a cruise through the Thousand Islands on the Sibley yacht, is quoted by the Alexander Bay correspondent of the Herald as saying in an interview in reply to questions regarding his possible candidacy for the presidency: ‘“‘Am I a candidate for the Republican nomination for President? No, I have not the bee, personally. Would I ac- cept the nomination? No citizen has ever declined it, or ever will. I would rather contribute to. making the next session of Congress a success, so that my party will deserve anc win success in 1908, than have the Presidency ten- dered me on a goiden sualver. ‘“‘Now I want to make this point. If Congress does not act wisely at the next session; if it is not actuated by calm- ness and patriotism, if it makes great mistakes and tails to meet the approval of the reasoning American public, there will not be much need for the election of delegates to the next National con- vention of the Republican party. The great masses ambition is to see that nothing is done to make them idle. It would be a crime if Congress should do anything at this time to upset business, and it might make mistakes in half a dozen Ways.

It Clayton from the most trustworthy sources that is cunrently reported at the grand jury, within the next 48 hours, will return an indictment against a county official. The charges, it is said, relate to the dismissal of two assault to kill cases recently without obtaining the consent or even cuting notifying the prose- witness. The investigations of the grand jury s> thorough, from all indications, Wolf on the Ground. Francis Miller Wolf, special prosecu- tor, and Assistant Attorney General Kennish are on the ground, industrious- ly sifting the scandals which have been so lavishly alleged in County politics. Especial attention will be given by the grand jury to the ways and mens employed recently to fry the fat of cam- paign funds. The grand jury is again in session af- ter a vacation of nearly two weeks, and wilk probably continue to meet each week day until the close of the court term, Sept. 14. Judge Ryors notffied the grand jur- ors Monday afternoon that whatever action they might take with reference to collateral evidence growing naturally out of the direct investigation of Prose- cuting Attorney Johnston’s office would not be invalidated by the presence of Special Prosecuting Attorney Wolf in the grand jury room. Goes Into History. The investigation having developed new matters, going back for some time and involving persons who have here- tofore not been mentioned in connection with the Prosecuting Attorney's office, the jurors were in doubt whether under instructions , that their deliberations should be secret. Mr. Wolf’s presence in the grand jury room on any other than direct investigation of Johnston's office would invalidate their actions. It appears that Mr. Kennish is after tigger game than violators of liquor laws and proprietors of lid-lifting clubs. He is investigating County “‘graft,’’ and is trying to locate the man higher up. At the same time, he announces that he will proceed against other clubs this week in the fashion which effectively closed the Louisiana Club Tuesday. Reign of Virtue. The absorbing topic of conversation in the county is the reign of virtue which seems likely to be forced upon it, and there are loud and widespread growls. Not only does the county dread losing its Sunday tipples, but forebodes a sud- den ebb from the tide of revenue whitch has been pouring into it every Sabbath from the city.

It is capa- ble of tremendous speed.‘ “TI approached the crossing about eight miles @&n hour,” said Mann Wednesday. “My view was cut off by freight cars until I was near Mich- igan avenue. I was about three lengths of my machine from the crossing when I saw the rig coming north. The horse was in a gallopand looked to me as if he was running away. I stopped my machine. “I did not strike the rig. It struck me. After the collision the horse ran about 70 feet north of the crossing and the rig rolled over into a ditch,” SON DEFENDING MOTHER KILLED BY HIS FATHER -

PY Special torthe Post-Dispatch. DUBUQUE, Io., Aug. 28.-—-Miss Mary Channing of Pittsburg, Pa., dressed in man's clothes two days ago and ob- tained entrance to the monastery of the Trappist monks, 12 miles frem here. She ig. said to be the only woman in tte world who has ever entered the sacred ptecincts of such an institution, forbid- den to womankind since the establish- ment of the order centuries ago. Mies Channing is stopping at the Ju- Han House. The solitude of the monas- tery appealed to her when she visited the grounds sevsral days ago. She beg- ged to be allowed to enter the cloistered retreat, but was refused. She sought the help of influential men of the Catho- lic religion, but their aid was unavail- ing. ~Two days ago she visited the Abbey again with a companion. Her hair was nidden beneath a wide hat and her shapely figure was concealed by white flannels. She looked a youth of sixteen and had no difficulty entering the home of the Trappists, a monk even conduct- ing her about the place. . Woman Sees Routine. -She saw scores of men who had re- younced the worid and live in medita- ‘Six tion and prayer. She saw dozens garbed i coarse brown habits returning fron the fields and vineyards—where they bad labored since early imorning—to pray in the little chapel, eat the coarse food provided in the bare dining-room and then lie down tv rest until another day dawned. Miss Channing was eager to see all, but she was “stumped” when her guide invited her into the chipel to join the monks 4n prayer. She ack- nowledges she did not.pause at the threshold for any other reason than she feared to remove her hat because her hair might tumble = about shoulders. So she stood there for a time, hear- ing the Trappists at prayer and then her conductor took her along the si- lent halls, into the bunk-like sleeping quarters of members of the order, to the bleak dining room and to every Apartment of the Abbey, which no woman had ever entered before. ra Remains Several Hours. She said that while she stood at the chapel entrance, there was sucn a spiritual calm about the place that she “seemed an alien standing within the gate of a forbidden Paradise.” She remained in the Abbey several hours, then went out satisfied. strictest religious body in the world. Its monasteries are refuges for men who wish to give up the world for- ever, and, especially, those who wish never again to look on the face of woman.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New Work World. LONDON, Aug. 28.—Mulai- Abdul Aziz, Sultan of Morocco, was assassin- ated several days ago and his’ death kept secret, according to reports reaching Tangier and cabled to Lon- don. The report lacks confirmation, but is persistent and has circulated over the whole of Morocco. It was stated some time ago that the Sultan had fled from Fez and his brother had de- clared himself Aziz’s successor on the throne. Abdul Aziz was placed on the throne when he was 14 years old, im- mediately following the demise of bis father, Mulai Hassan, in 1894. He was not beloved by his subjects and for months the tribes have been caus- ing him no end of trouble. Another Sharp Fight.

The club in the county has been ex- plained by Gumberts as the country place of the club, where members could have their outings. The clubhouse on Delmar boulevard was opened two years ago, and is gen- erally supposed to have the financial backing of Cella, Adler & Tilles, own- ers of the Delmar Tacetrack, whose chief lieutenant Gumberts was in the palmy pony days.

m.. just of Never Paid for Protection, When asked how he had been able to operate his club for two Vvears in de- fiance of the law, selling oceans of liquor without a license ang running full blast on Sundays, Gumberts de- clared that he had never spent a cent ‘or protection from county officials. “So far as I know there has been no direct graft in the county in connection with the. lidlifting clubs,"’ said he. “Most of the county officers are poor ren, and have shown no signs of in- creased prosperity since I have been out here. ‘When I first opened the club, I had to fight Prosecuting Attorney John- ston and Sheriff Herpel, who resented the entrance of myself, as an intruder from tie city, ints the county.

None but liberal-minded men have a chance. “The officials have not interfered with me because they woulda call down upon themselves the enmity of the sa- loon keepers and ruin their political ambitions.”’ Gumberts has not yet decided on his future pluns. ‘After the hearing Friday, vhich he believes will result unfavor- ably to him, he ma take a trip to New York to visit his friend, ‘“‘Big Tim” Sullivan, whose portrait in oils is one of the most conspicuous adornments of T*CLUB” WAKE With Fred Essen and Sheriff} Herpel He Celebrates End - } Reservoir COMANCHE CHIEF FALLS DOWN ON WATCHMAN JOB pi

FALKENHAINER MAKES JOKE ( LAW. SAYS SIK Factory Inspector Insists He Can’t Get Protection for Child Wofkers.

Factory Inspector Jesse W. charges that the attitude of As- Prosecuting Attorney Falken- toward the factory inspector's office is making a joke of the child labor law. Mr. Sikes says that \he is so hampered by the Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney in the matter of warrants that it is practically impossible for him to enforce this and other laws. “Inquiries are being made at this of- fice every day by buséness and labor organizations and individuals to know why the child labor law is not enforced, ’ said Mr. Sikes. ‘“‘The only answer that I can give is that the Prosecuting At- torney’s oftice will not issue warrants when evidence of violation of the law is laid before the warrant officer. State sikes sistant hainer Prosecutions Required. “The tactory inspector and his as- sistants and deputies are charged with the duty of entorcing the child labor laws. and the same_ section of the statute makes it incumbent on the prosecuting attorney, at the request of the. factory inspector, to prosecute violators of the law. “When my inspectors find that the law is being violated this office applies to the Prosecuting Attorney for a war- rant. Mr. Falkenhainer, instead of is- suing the warrant, writes a letter to the. offender and requests him to call at the office of the Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney. Falkenhainer hen an- nounces that unless violation of the law ceases he will issue a warrant. “This sytem imposes double work on the Factory Inspector's office. In order to see whether the offender is violating the law I have to send in- spectors around again. Having been put on his guard by the Prosecuting Attorney, the accused is very likely to make an effort to conceal the fact that the law is still being violated. One Notice Given. . “Falkenhainer wants thig office to furnish him with a list of all viola- tors of the law so that he can oall them in. and notify them to cease em- ploying child labor. I have sent cop- ies of the law to all of these peo- ple, and my inspectors have explained its provisions to them in person. “It is not the province of the Pros- ecuting Attorney to notify people who violate the law to stop it. It is his duty to issue warrants when evidence of violation of law is presented to him. “We have the same trouble with Falkenhainer with respect to the en- forcement of other laws. Here is a particularly aggravated case.

The ‘“‘administra- tion” scored victory by re-eiecting three old inembers of the Board The “oppo- sition” elected only -one’ man, A. ¥, Lassett of Alton, and he Way s0 entirely acceptable to the other board members that at the annual meeting of the board he was elected president. The annual meeting: of the stockhald- ers Tuesday was not productive of a plan for getting rid of the indebtedness, as the opposition considered the elec- tion more important. When the elec- tion was over it was train time. The new board of directors will have to work out the problem withwut the aid of the stockholders. They express con- flaence in their ability to Jo so. The meeting was at times quite torrid. Leaders of the opposition eriticised the management, and demanded reorganiza- tion and ‘“‘new blood.” A statement of W. A. Hockaday that General Manager W.°O. Paisley had told him the asso- ciation kept no books precipitated a dispute between then. Paisley insisted that Hockaday and associate committeemen had not asked for books, but had sald the annual re- ports of the auditing com:nittee were sufficieut. To prove that the Associa- tion kept books he brought them from the office, displayed them to the stock- holders and urged the latter tc examine them. Delinquents Qualify. Amusement was caused ut the morn- ing session by the discovery, through the report of a committee, that most of the leaders of the opposition had not paid their lot assessments and were therefore not entitled to vote. The administratior leaders proposed that a recess be taken to permit the de- linquents to qualify by paying up. This wag done. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to submit a plan for paying off the indebtedness did not submit a plun, and offered no explanation for not doing so. A number of changes in the by-laws were suggested in the com- mittee’s report, one providing for in- creasing the assessment on cottages and lotsa aitke to $10 a year, but no action could be taken on these recommenda- tions at the meeting.

HALE THE BILLS Of MISSOURI ‘State Also Levies iver tblity Fie Per Cent of the Taxes \ on the City. BIG SALOON REVENUE

Liquor Trade, Inheritance Tax and Public Utilities Large Contributors.

MERCHANTS HELP. ALSO Strong Argument in Favor ot Amending the Con- stitution.

Fifty per cent of the State's total: revenue, and 35 per cent of the taxes it levies on real estate, personal prop- erty and public service corporations, are paid by St. Louis. Figures just issued at Jefferson City show the un- equal burden placed on the city’s com- mercial wealth—a condition which proposed new amendments to the Con- stitution are intended to remedy. The total taxable wealth of the 114 counties and the city of St. Louis is $1,446,160,058.36. On that sum _ the State will collect—at the rate of 17 cents per $100—a total of $2,458,472.10. On the $510,684,343.49 which repre- sents the assessment on real estate, personal property, telephones, tele- graphs, steam railroads, street rail- ways and bridges held in St. Louis, the State will collect $868,163.38. o Although slightly more than 35 per cent of the whole revenues obtained from taxation on these several classes of taxable wealth, jt must not be sup- posed that this $868,163.38 is all the tribute paid by St. Louls to the State. Other State Revenue. The State gets also a proportion of the amounts derived from merchants’ and manufacturers’ licenses, €Gramshop licenses and all the collateral inheri- tance taxes paid by. St. Louisans. Just what those taxes will aggregate this Keur can only be estimated, but the. res for 1906 are eloquent pleas for: a reform. In 1906 local merchants and manufact- urers d into the State treasury $126,- 843.47, liquor dealers $259.637.50, and es- tates, in the form of collateral inherit- ance taxes, $132,006.33, or all together total obtained by the State from ese sources in 1907 will, however, be ch more impressive than that of last The growth of St. Louis has been ear.

4500 Spectators Thrown Into Panic at Big Pleasure Resort.

VICTIM FATALLY HURT

Animal Killed by Policemen After Fight Lasting Fif- teen Minutes.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 28.—Mrs. nna Hucke, aged 64, was horribly man- gled yesterday afternoon and 1500 per- ons were thrown into a panic when “Cedar,” an immense lion at Luna Park, escaped from his cage and charged the audience, composed mostly of women and children. After 15 min- utes’ battle, four park policemen killed the brute. Over fifty shots were fired at him. Mrs. Hucke is in the Homeo- pathic Hospital and the doctors do not think she can survive. Mrs. Hucke died today. The lion show has been at the park only a short time and ‘‘Cedar,” who was 344 years old, and had but recently been brought from the jungle, was used as an open-air attraction, occupying a frail cage on the platform in front of the exhibition near the music pavilion. The 1500 people were listening to the concert and to the “‘barker’’ in front of the animal show. The ‘“‘barker’ was telling abeut the lion which had not yet been tamed, when suddenly, with a roar, Cedar broke his bars and sprang into the crowd. Mrs. Hucke was standing in front of the platform and Caught the full weight of the lion. She was thrown to the ground, one blow: from the lien’s paw crushing her ribs. Be- fore the audience realized what was happening the lion bit a great piece of Ylesh out of her right hip. Park Policeman W. A. Downey, whe was standing near the woman, fired a shot into the lion, whereupon it turned upon him. Downey fought off the beast with his club, and then it start- ed toward the park entrance. City Policeman George Sheridan, sta- tioned at the entrance of the park, had been attracted by the shet and he rushed through the gates just in time te meet the lion, which had started up the long flight of steps at the entrance. The lion jumped at him and Sheridam fired a shot into its body. By this time Park Policemen I. L. Lenhart, Albert Green and Downey had joined Sheridan. The lion was fighting vicieusly, the four officers pumping bullets into it from their re volvers as rapidly as they could re- load and keeping off his attacks as best they could with their clubs. It was 15 minutes before they succeeded in killing the Lon.

_ Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.—Only a few hours remain for Mike Schreck and = . Al’ Kaufman to get in shape for their } _ | take place at the Auditorium in this twenty-round glove contest, which is to 72 eity Thursday night. Alex Greggains, ~« 4 -whe is promoting the contest, expects each and then to the other, spending about anc ~~ boxers _@ record-breaking crowd, and this means .. good returns for the winner, as the box- will divide their share on the basis of @ per cent to the winner and 40 per “cent to the loser. Billy Reche will be the referee. Schreck is training at Colma with young Ketchell, who fights Joe Thomas forty-five rounds at the Colma Club on Labor day. Although a very fast man on his feet, Ketchell is no match for Schreck in the handbaM games which “are a part of the daily routine at reck’s training quarters. Billy Ho- gan is doing everything possible to get Schreck in the best of shape, and keeps work. It is quite the thing for the 'Fris- sports to hire an automobile and visit training camp, going first to one an hour's time at each place. The ® are in training there now Kaufman, Ketch- wh oe em COLLEGE MEN WILL ENTER A. A. U, GAMES HERE NEXT OCTOBER It Was at First Feared Football Games Would Keep Them Away. Though it was thought that the fact that the Western A. U. had set the date for the field and track champion- ships the division for the early part of October, would, on account of its prox-

imity to the football season deter the college men from entering the games and thus detract in some respect from their interest, the latest reports seems to be quite to the contrary. Wasnington University especially will be represented’ by a substantial quota of athletes. Taylor, the clever little hurdler of the school, Challis the best young pole vaulter in town, Mitchell, who with Nicholson shares the honor of being the premier high jumper, are nearly certain entries for the meet. Wore has also been received from Jack Grover, who has been rusticating the summer months, that he will in all porbability take part in the champion- ships. If he does so Forline of the Cen- tral Y. M. C. A. will not have to in- vade distant fields to find an opponent worthy of his steel. Two years ago Gcrover promised to be the best sprinter of the Southwest, bat last year trained off poorly. He is undoubtedly a won- derfully fast man, and if in condition it would not at all be surprising to see him take Forline’s measure. The two men have never met out doors and the clash between them would be the fea- t re of the October games. Nothing afinite has been done at St. Louis T’. in regard to the meet, but it is pro~acle the Blue and White school will ea’ a small squad. POSTAL, STRIKERS WIN OUT

Defeat the Western Union Men in Ball Game at, Sports- man’s Park. The Postals defeated the Western Unions T-esday afternoon by a score of 8 to 7. The game was very close throughout and it took 12 innings to decide the contest. The game was played at Sportsman’s Park and the receipts will be turned over to the fin- ancial secretary of the Commercial Te- legraphers’ Union of America, whose members are at present on a strike.

S$ MR. FOLK OF PRESIDENTIAL STATURE? Fifty carefully selected Yemocrats have organ- ized in Nashville, Tenn., for the purpose of urging Goy. Folk’s availability as a candidate for the presidency. The movement is said to have much forte and it is expected that it will gain momen- m as a result of the Governor’s approaching vi it to his native State. er since the nomination of a Southern man the Democratic party was first urged in seri- ess it has been evident that if the experiment fe to be tried the choice would naturally fall n some inhabitant of a border State or upon SoutLern ma” born and bred, who had taken his residence in a Nortierr State. . Folk meets these geographical require- He was born and he came to garded with more favor at Washington. It is exceedingly unfashionable for new states to come whooping for the Democrats into the company of their elder and more sedate sisters. Let the Okla- homans study William Taft’s book of etiquette. = = = re CLUBS OF THE RICH AND POOR. For the purposes of a lid crusade, it is well to bear in mind that there is a difference between a

‘saloon and a legitimately organized and conduct- ed club, whether it be a rich man’s or a poor man’s club, whether it be composed of men who travel the highways in motors or of simpler folk vho occupy literally the humbler walks. The status of a club is not determined by the wealth, position or dress of its members or the scale afid quality of its establishment and service. The workingmen’s club may not be eharacter- ized by heavy upholstery, bronze, imported rugs, liveried lackeys, plate and cut glass; yet, since the law does not begrudge the rich clubman his en- joyment of these appointments, neither can it @- ny the poor man his simpler comforts. The right of a poor man’s club to dispense liquors to members or Sunday is identical with that of the more pretentious establishments, ard no amount of misdirected reform can take it away from him. Let the workingman see that his club is law- ful, keeping strictly all of the requirements of tiic statutes, and intelligent reform will not even ai- tempt to touch it. But an out-and-out saloon which has been on- erating as such for six days in the week canrot claim immunity as a club on Sunday, any more than a legitimate ‘lub, however humble, can Le treated as ° saloon on any day. In St. Louis County, and elsewhere, the work- ingman can best preserve his entire personal ard social privileges by supporting the efforts of law enforcement which sha!! weed out the illicit from the lawful clubs. 7 +o - ————_ Naval statisticians show that if the Panama Canal were in operation the cost of the battleship cruise in the Pacific would be reduced by three- fourths. A good way ty save money in tl‘s case would be to abandon the demonstration alto- gether, thus saving four-fourths. La Le Lr» Se FRUITS OF THE UNWRITTEN LAW FOLLY.

The real «uestion that ought to confront the peo- ple is not loose or strict construction for; with the abolition of chattel slavery-this question became a dead ‘ssue. At the best it never was an issue. It was eimply a blind to divert the public mind from that most infamous institution, chattel slavery. The real question that ought to be given consideration today is the question of wage slavery. A nation in which a majority of the people are wage slaves of the minority cannot be truthfully termed a re- public. And in the face of such a deplorable con- dition it is simply a sham to make strict or loose construction the paramount issue. The real issue ought to be the supremacy of the majority. SOCIALIST.

I think a good wife‘s allowance should be according to her husband's income. If she is not extravagant and her hus- band is comfortably well off she should always have enough spending money of her own so that she may not have to pe One of my friends heard a Denver preacher discuss that same question, “What should wife receive?’ and we think his answer was ‘‘the best ever.”’ (He utterly denounced the way men have of gingerly doling out money at the request of their wives.) He spoke as follows: “The salary should be their common fund, i. e., either should be al- lowed to draw from it, at will, as neces- sity ruled.”” (This would imply mutual confidence, which should exist in every true marriage.) Just as the wife does not say, “‘This much will I do for him and no more,’ he should be wifling to deal with his money in the same man- ner, for ‘‘wisdom is better than riches and selfishness does not produce the greatest happiness.

Mathematicians ‘Attack Louis Chacke’s Problem, but Miss the | | “Potnt. } avenue, East St. Louis, claimed in a letter to the Post-Dispatch that the rules of algebra may be used to LL « CHACKES if 118 St. Clair prove that 2 equals 3. The Post-Dispatch printed this letter Monday and offered $5 to the person who would give the best explanation of Mr. Chackes’ error. A number of letters have been received from mathematicians who, for the most part, negiect the essential of the problem. It is not asserted that 2 equals 3, but that follc wing the processes laid down in th® textboooks the incomprehensible result is reached. Mr. Chackes’ contention is not dis- posed of when it is asserted that obviously his result is wrong. However, the following letters are interesting: Let the letter V indicate square root. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Chackes’ error in his problem is} that he treats the terms of his equa- tion (4—10 equals 9—15)' as binomials. whereas they should be treated as mono- mials; that is, the work indicated musi be performed before anything else is done to the equation, and his second equation should read: (4—10)-|-25-4 equals (9—15)-|-25-4, and the third equa- tion should be: V4—10-|-V25-4 equals ¢¥9—15-|-V2%-4. Then the fourth would be V—6-|-5-2 equals V—6-|-5-2. Now add 6-2 to each side and we have: V—6-|-5 equals V—6-|-5. Now to simplify the equation subtract 6 from each side, and we have V—6 equals V—6, and since the even root of a negative quantity is impossible, the equation is in its sim- plest form, and 2 equals 2 is still true. THOMAS O. MOORE. STA Vest av. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. WLeouts Chackes’ asks to be His first equation is correct; his second is all/right. But his third equation is badly wrong. It is incorrect in several respects; but suffi- cient to say that the square root of the improper fraction, twenty-five-fourths (2 divided by four) is not five halves (5 d'vided by 2)—not by a great deal. It is true that multiplying or dividing both numerator and denominator of a frac- tion does not change its value; but it is not true that no change is effected by extracting .quare root of both terms. But Mr. Chacke’s prime error les in extracting square root of each term of both halves of his third equation separ- ately. Reducing his second equation to its simplest form, it stands: 12.25 equals 12.25 and if he will extract the square root of that, the result will be 3.5 equals 3.5. It may be true than figures cannot lie; but figurers can—and often do. ARTHUR GARRISON.

Don’t Be Intense, Don’t Waste Yourself, Says This Post-D1s- patch Expert on Health and Beauty. BY MARGARET HUBBARD AYER. : ALIEN INDIGESTION. | as Well as Fat Every mother tries to Goldwin Smith in Toronto Sun, Twenty thousand immigrants land in the United States in one day; a agit HE city is full of women who are trying to lose flesh. The country is Ly crowded with those who have lost their curves and are trying to get them back again. A few very thin women, those whose physical condi- tion does not come from overwrought nerves, remain in town and are able suc- cessfully to arrange their days and their diet with the one aim of gaining flesh. They are the women who can banish worry, who turn a heedless ear to the enticement ef the bargain sale. They stay at home during the heat of the day and do as little as possible. They arrange to take nourishing and fatten- ing foods at short intervals and to eat what agrees with them. They indulge in naps and regular outdoor exercise and indoor physical culture—they have overcome the feverish activity of body and mind, and given time, they will grow fat. But alas for the other kind! “Tell me how to get fat!’’ was the first word spoken to me by an actress the other evening at a dinner where we had met for the first time. ‘Tell me how to get fat!’’ she repeated with the same intensity which electrifies her audience. She grabbed me by the wrist, leoked inte my face with cvery feature strained. ‘‘Tell me how to get fat. Look! Look!’’ she exclaimed dra- matically, as she held out a very slender arm. “I haven’t an atom of flesh. I've tried everything. Nothing does me any good. Nothing that I eat agrees with me. Massage makes me nervous. I have no time for treatments. I’m worrying myself to death. O, tell me what to do!” All this time she had kept hold of my arm with enough nervous force to move a grand piano. Every syllable was so intense that even listening was exhausting, and there was the clever woman burning up her strength and vitality, ete., uselessly and never even realizing that it was this intensity which helped keep her thin. The first thing for a nervous woman to do if she wants to grow fat is to learn mental and physical relaxation and practice it. Get at the exact meaning of the word and do it. Relaxing or ‘‘letting go’’ is what the thin woman needs. Ten times to one this nervous tension is the cause of malnutrition, and noth- ing will make food assimilate while the mental and physical strain is being kept up. When food is properly assimilated the thin woman need only bide her time and take ordinary care of herself and she will grow fat. large proportion being decidedly alien and many, to borrow the President's phrase, undesirable citizens.

ILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS’ first literary work was written and pub- W lished when he was a mere lad—and, it may be said, published under unique circumstances. For Howells, as a boy, worked as a compositor in his father’s printing office—his father being owner and editor of a newspaper in a little Ohio town—and, as the desire to write, to express himself in liter- ary form, gradually grew upon him, he not only produced an essay, but set it up in type himself for appearance in the paper! Even now, after his many literary triumphs, up to his recent book, “‘Through the Eye of the Needle,” he cannot forget the thrill of happiness he experienced on seeing that first essay in type. ——— to start an appetite “boom” let the children know you have () a package of A GINCER SNAPS.

LONDON OPENS HIGHER

First Figures Are Surpassed in the Early Market—Mar- ket Active.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 10 a. m.—The stock market Wednesday opened \% to % higher. The higher opening was not unlooked tor as the decline at the close Tuesday was due to profit taking and the.market went up from the first. The Erie meeting today is important as to the outcome in the dividend ques- tion and will have a hearing in the market in any event. The deposits of five million dollars in New York banks by the Federal Treasury has done much already and will continue to be a favor- Sble factor.

WHEAT CLOSE FRACTION LOWER Strong Demand Apparent at Times, but Heavy Realizing Con- tinued. re EXPORT DEMAND _————e ee Weather Still Unfavorable Except for Corn—Russian Damage Reports Received.

SLOWER There was further heavy long realiz- ing sales of local wheat Wednesday, and though a good demand existed, the close was 4c to %c lower for the day. Liver- pool cables closed unchanged on spot wheat and unchanged to %c higher on the futures. Antwerp wheat closed un- changed. Berlin wheat Sc lower, and Budapest wheat lc lower. No reports of lew temperatures in our Northwest were received early in the day, but the complaints of frost, cold weather and a poor qualitv of wheat being harvested were continued from anada. This and the relatively steady cables were ignored, however, and under the quite large amount of long wheat emptied into the market, initial prices were 14c to 4c lower. There were steady and heavy rains along the border of North Dakota and other sections, and as threshing of spring wheat is now full swing. this is doing considerable harm. Threshing returns were small, and receipts of new wheat at all North- western markets light, and reports as to the quality of the wheat received were contradictory. The majority of the messages stated that the standard is poor, but arrivals are as yet so light that no comprehensive estimate can be nade anent the quality of the spring wheat yield. The weather in Canada is still very cold, and rains were general with frost reported in scattered sec- tions. Very pessimistic predictions as to the size of the Canadian crop were gen- eral, though improved weather is now predicted. General rains fell throughout a large part of the winter wheat belt, which caused delay in threshing, besides doing considerable harm to wheat in shocks. The movement of winter wheat to the Western markets continues heavy and shipments have fallen off. The export demand has slackened up and bids from abread are now reported to be several cents out of line. The slower foreign demand put somewhat of a crimp in the shipments from interior points, and stocks at most Western markets showed sharp increases. There was a fair cash demand at about unchanged differences at most markets, but the inquiry came from milling and ele- vator interests. A good export demand for flour was reported, however, and a large business, both domestic and ex- port, was done in that staple, especially at Minneapolis. Quite sensational reports on Russian crop prospects were received from Liv- erpoel. It was stated that arrivals at shipping points are much under the average, the size of the crop far below estimates, and that nothing short of a crop disaster is feared. After the opening decline prices made several sharp recoveries on good buy- ing based on the Russian news and do- mestic damage reports, but the long liquidation caused chiefly by the slow export demand lasted all day, and car- ried prices back each time. September wheat opened %c lower at 874c, was bid up to 87%c, offered down to 87%4c, and after fluctuating between Silec and S7%c closed with offerings at Silec, Yc lower for the day. December wheat opened %c to %c lower at %54ec to 9344c, advanced to 94c, was offered down to %8tec, fluctuated between the latter price and 93%c, advanced to 94sec, and closed at 93% C, %c lower for the day The cash dentand for local was slow, and the market tone Iocal receipts of wheat were 066 bu, against 48,519 bu last and shipments were 57,475 bu. cago receipts of wheat were 296,632 bu, against 145,000 bu last year, and shipments were 129,823 bu. Clearances of wheat and flour for the day, with New Orleans and Galveston missing, were 291,000 bu, Corn. was quiet and lower. The plentiful rains c.roughout a good part of the belt, while delaying harvest- ing of other grains, was beneficial to corn, as the too much dry weather las been. encountered recently. The damage reports on corn continued, but these, and the reported good export demand for that grain, liberal ship- ments from the interior, though re- ceipts continue quite large and sharp decreases in stocks were ig- nored by the trade. Tra: ling was light and the close, influenced by the good weather and the lower pric es in wheat was \%c to ‘ec lower for the day. Corn cables closed \d lower. The cash corn market was dull and weak, and prices were lower. Tocal re- corn were 124,300 bu. against last vear, and shipments were Receipts of corn at Chicago Were 222,000 bu, against 394,800 bu last year, ‘and shipments were 291,174 bu. Corn clearances were 101,000 bu. The heavy rains were complained of as seriously impeding oats progres’, and numerous damage reports were re- ceived, but the interest in the market was very small, Tr: adding amount: » £9 almost nothing, two sales of Sertenber at 45c being the only transactions. The movement of Oats continues heavy. but shimpnets are fairly liberal — though Stocks have now begun to increas” rapidly. The nominal close on local oats was tec lower. There was a good demand for cash oats and prices were firm. Local re- ceipts of Oats were 177,600 bu. against 91,200 bu last year, and shipments were 63,715 bu.

NAT. CANDY STUCK IS. THE LUUAL FEATURE a. wr

Sells on a Decline at Figures Close to Low Rec- ord. U. RYS, PFD. IS STRONG Market Is Broader and Inquiry Promises Well for Great- er Activity.

Trading swung on the common shares of the National Candy Co. at Wednes- day’s forenoon session of the Stock Ex-: change. As was anticipated from Tuesday’s market, the preferred stock of the United Railways was a bit stronger Wednesday and naturally not so active. The volume of sales was reduced some- what from that of Tuesday, but the market was broader and on the whole promised better things for the local stock market. Traction issues still figured in the transactions, the voting trust shares selling steady at 24 for round lots. Pre- ferred sold from 62 to 62%, with 62% bid and 62% asked at the close. The 4 per cent bonds sold steady at 8, with 80% asked at the close. National Candy sold freely on a de- cline from 15% to 15% to 15, with 15 bid and 15% asked at the close. These figures are lower for the common stock of Candy than have been quoted for some time, the low record for the year being between 14 and 15 bid. There was very little doing in the bank and trust. stocks. Commerce sold in small orders at 252. Mechan- eee cae was offered at 311, State Nitional was 186 bid and Missouri- Lineoln declined on sales to 106 with 105% bid, First Session.

To a limited circle of acquaintances the man and woman were known as Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Green. They are 26 and 24 years old. For months past the police have been at their wits end to procure a clew to the perpetrators of series of daring burglaries in the homes of prominent Springfield resi- dents, obviously the work of the same persons. The failure of the police to find the burglars led Mayor Sanderson to call a special meeting of the Police Commission to appoint a Chief of Po- lice who would. The choice fell on In- spector W. J. Quilty, who delegated Inspector Boyle to the task. Boyle learned that W. H. Green, clerk at the Henking Hotel, was living

So far as his holdings in big corpora- tions are concerned, Morris could have been a director in several leading rail- ways and other big industrial organiza- tions. The amount of stock he held en- titled him to a place on the directory, but he repeatedly refused serve in such a capacity besause could not give the position direct attention. He was fond of quoting Andrew Carnegie’s financial dictum, ‘‘You can have my money, but not my name.’’

It isn’t every man who can pick a lemon in the garden of love and then throw the lemon away and pluck a ripe luscious peach. But that’s just the role John Wolters has played, according to his own story. For the past two months he has been trying desperately to marry. Finding a supposed affinity, he loaned her $17. Then she told him she was married and was leaving the city. Other men would have shooed Cupid away after that ex- perience, but not John Wolters. Within a week after nis ‘“‘lemon’’ experience, he announces he is engaged to a North St. Lovis widow. Hospital Porter. Wolters is the night porter at the City Hospital. He told feilow attaches there Wednesday that his bride-to-be was 32 years old, and pretty. Wolters is 37 years old. He scorned. the charms of woman until a few months ago when he suddenly decided he had been a bachelor long enough. He inserted an advertisement in a news- paper telling of his husbandly attrac- tions and asking for a wife. Several wemen answered. He opened correspondence with one with the result that he met her and she agreed to marry him. The only preliminary she insisted on was that he give her $17 to redeem her sewing machine which sne had pawned. Wolters says he did so. Then she wrote him the “waiting at the ehurch"” note in which she sald nothing about the seventeen. He Tries Again. Wolters says he tried to have her ar- rested for using the malls to defraud but failed and then, instead of weeping over past misfortunes, sought hope in the future and inserted another “ad.” To this the widow responéed he ore, calling at the Hospital in person an there, amid most unromantic surround: | ings, vowed to be his bride.

$e 2 PRESCRIPTION FOR COM- PLEXION AND SKIN FOOD MIXTURE. The formula given below is said to be the most effective known to science for clearing the complexion and developing shrunken or hollow parts. It is in general use among the French society women who are renown- ed all over the world for their exquisite complexions. Procure from the druggist the following: Two ounces of Rose Water; one ounce Spirits of Cologne; four ounces Sartoin (crystal- lized). : Put the Sartoin into a pint of hot water (not boiling) and when dissolved and cooled strain through a fine cloth: then add the Rose Water and Cologne Spirits. This is to be applied daily to the face, neck and bust, and mas- thoroughly into the skin. If the treatment is persistently used remarkable results will fol- iow, even for the worst complex - ion or roughest skin. The above formula is inexpensive and makes sufficient of the mixture to last a month. —~————o oo BROTHERS HARDWAR:
