The Senator gloriea in violating a long- established precedent which imposes si- ‘lence upon new members. Toward the end of his speech he discussed the cause of the accumulation of wealth by great corporations, and referred to the testimony of Henry 0.

He was at his desk almost an hour be- fore noon and before the arrival of any other r. When he began his ad-| dress all of the Senaters were tn. their seats and they gave strict attention to his remarks. The galleries were filled.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. white men of Pickens County, reports that negrocs were an attack on the white cit’zens for the killing of a negro several days ago, raided a lodgeroom and obtained 13 shotguns. Three hundred shells were confiscated. The leader of the gang of negroes, who were said to be getting ready for a riot, was reported to have boarded a train for Birmingham and efforts have been nade to have aim siopped and arrested. Nobody was killed. Sixteen negroes are in Jail charged with participatior in the excitement. 11.—The hearing preparing for Memphis Hears Many Are Slain. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 11.—A special to the NewsScimitar, from Columbus, Miss., says twenty-five or thirty negroes are dead, five white men and many negroes wounded and five negro lodge- rooms have been burned in a race war which is in progress in Pickens County, Aalabama. Owing to the discovery of a plot by negroes to rise against the whites of the county, every black is in danger. This plot was carried on by means of a secret society which had lodge rooms in re- mote districts of Pickens County. Fif- teen negroes were burned to death in a lodgeroom near Reform, Ala., last night, when whites attacked the place, and, finding a number of repeating rifies and shotguns, fired the building. The blacks were penned in by the con- tinual shooting of the whites and those who were not killed in “attempting to escape were roasted alive. Three Reported Shot. Near Gordo, three negroes were shot to death when a posse of white men attacked a lodge room... So far as has been learned the burning of the other lodgerooms was without fa- talities. Reports from the affected district are conflicting owing to poor means of communication, The trouble started Monday with the arrest of Tom Lowe, a negro, on a charge of stealing cotton from Whig Lowe, a white planter, who is also deputy sheriff. AKINS RENAMED SUBTREASUR DESATE Flot! - rr President Sends Choice to the Senate—Rebuff for Nied- ringhaus. The nomination for reappointment of Thomas J. Akins as United States Sub- treasurer at St. Louis was sent to the Senate Wednesday by President Roose- velt, according to press dispatches. The position pays $4500 a year. Thomas K. Niedringhaus and other well-known Republican leaders. started an opposition movement to Mr. Akins a few days ago. They charged that Akins had med- died in the affairs of the State Commit- tee and sought to defeat Walter S. Dick- ey for chairman of that body. The identity of the candidate favored by the Niedringhaus men had not come to light, although it was rumored that Joseph McCoy, former Secretary of the State Committee, wanted the job. Mr. Akins is the Missouri member of the National Republican Committee, but expects to retire from that position be- fore the next State convention. In connection with the selection of a successor to Mr. Akins a controversy is in progress between the supporters of Mr. Niedringhaus on the one hand and Crairman Howe of the City Committee cn the other.

Judge Pollard has imposed a fine of $1. and costs on Robert Algeo, 4296 Nat- ural Bridge road, who was arrested Tuesday and charged with spitting on a Spring avenue car at ‘i'wentieth and Carr streets.

BANKER ENDS LIFEAFTER RIEND 1S HELD SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11.—T. Otway Saldeir, -manager of the West End branch of the Celifornia Safe Deposit and Trust Co., lecated on Devisadero street, committed suicide some time last night, blowing off the top of his head with a: sawed-off shotgun. He was a close friend of J. Dalzell Brown, vice-président and manager of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Co., whe fs in prison, accused of em- bezzlement. Was Heavily Involved. Sadleir was heavily involved personal- ly in the failure of the banks. Ever since it was known that the bank could not survive he had been greatly de- pressed. Sadleir made his preparations for death deliberately. David F. Walker, president of the De- posit and Trust Co,, accused of embez- zlement, was today released from cus- tody on $75,000 bail. Vice-President Brown, who is genera! manager of the institution, is still in Jail, the bonds offered for his release by a surety company having been re- jected by Judge Dunne on the ground that the company already had gone se- curity for so many accused persons that he preferred to have Brown get ball elsewhere. When Brown was informed that Sad- leir had committed suicide, he threw up his hands and explained: “My God. How did he do it? Did he shoot himself?” On’ being told that his surmise was correct, Brown sald: “I was afraid of that.’’ legitimate PAID . elreulation of "the Post-Dispatch ta St. Louis and its ge — Seen is greater than that of BINED. U REILLY SAYS CITY VOUCHERS WERE ALTERED Ke Charges that vouchers he signed have been changed in the offices of Comp- troller Player and City Auditor Dierkes were made in a letter from A. J. O' Reil- ly, president of the Board of Public Improvements, to those two officials Wednesday. The letter follows: *‘Hon. J. Y. Player and Hon. Ber- nard Dierkes—Gentlemem: You and each ef you are hereby notified that information has reached me that vouchers, after having been certified to by the President of the Board of Public Improvements, have been changed in the offices of the Auditor of the City and the Comptroller with- out the knowledge or consent of the said President of the Board of Pub lic Improvements, and over his signa- ture. “You and each of you are, there- fore, requested to return to fie office of the President of the Board of Public Improvements all such docu- ments and vouchers without delay that the President of the Board of Public Improvements may cancel his signature. “Yours respectfully, “A. J. O'REILLY, “President Board of Public Improve- ments."’ Edmund Dierkes, chief deputy in the office of the City Auditor and clerk In charge of the Board of Public Improve- ment vouchers, said that none of O'Rell- ly’s vouchers had been changed in thal office, unless some vouchers in which The October grand jury, in its,final report.returned Nov.-80,.- declared that the House of Delegates, as constituted and contralied is a disgrace to decency, law and order, and a menace to the citizen- ship of St. Louis. ‘It was asserted that there exists in the House of Delegates a combine of 18 members, of which there is an inner. eirele which arbitrarily dictates the action of the brganization, holds up beneficial legislation, attempts blackmail on private citi- zens through the medium of a legislative agent, and uses the House of Delegates for personal ends, advantages and gain. | For the correction of such abuses as are set forth in the grand jury report, the lawmakers of the State have created machinery }to which they delegate inquisitorial and prosecuting powers. This machinery consists of a grand jury and a Cireuit Attorney, charged with the duty of ferreting out crime and prosecuting criminals in the courts. What a Circuit Attorney Means to the People. While grand juries are charged by the law and the courts with the duty of investigating crime, they are merely instruments through which the Cireuit Attorney, who is their legal adviser, is expected to produce results. As a rule they investigate such matters only as the Circuit Attorney brings to their attention. The success or failure of grand jury investigations depend almoat entirely upon the Cireuit Attorney. Upon the Cireuit Atterney’s office the people must depend. for the prosecution of two members.of the House of Delegates, jointly indicted for bribery on information placed in the hands ee eo ee que ied ee of the prosecuting authorities by the Mayor’s office. : Conviction of a few guilty persons would go a long way to- ward breaking up the obstructive combination which the grand “ae jury says exists in the House. ‘The record of the Cireuit Attorney’s office, during the ‘term of the incumbent, is a criterion as to what may be expected in this important investigation. Forcee That Help In the Exposure of Crime. There are certain forces which the Cireuit Attorney is ahwagh able to command in the exposure of crime. The public press, other ee 71 promote good government and law enforcement, voluntarily fur- nish the Circuit Attorney much valuable information. Notwithstanding the different agencies that have been at iweidia to crush the evil forces in the House of Delegates, and the invalua- ble assistance rendered to the Circuit Attorney, there is known to © be missing at least one important link in the chain of testimony — connecting Fred W. Priesmeyer and Ferd Warner—the indicted delegates—with the alleged bribery. Mr, Sager himself has re. peatedly made this asssertion. 5 To make a perfect case it is necessary for the State to tree | the bribe money from Priesmeyer and Warner to Sam Wei n if who received it the day after the alleged crime. - This the § has not yet been able to do.

That a gift of $2500 in reparation for a broken leg, caused Mugeng Kelly to be. come a miser, is the testimony brought out in two courts, where he has ap- peared: to answer charges that he will support his family. Kelly even brooded in a cage at the “ty. Hall Police Court, Wednesday morning, where he was fined $3 for tureatening his wife, sullenly debating whether he should pay the fine or go to the Workhouse.

MOSBY WAS SUED 10 HELP STONE SAY FOLK MEN Governor’s Friends Point to Houchin’s Conference With the Senator’s Friend.

special to the Post-Dispat -h. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., Dec. 11.— Supporters of Gov. Folk and friends of Attorney Speed Mosby and Jo- seph Goldman, who were sued by James Houchin on a note for $300. the amouni loaned the Cole County Democrat by Houchin in consideration of the support of Folk’s candidacy for Governor by that paper, said today that the “old guard Democrats,” who desire to ac- complish the defeat of Gov. Folk for the United States Senate, are responsible for the filing of the suit. In support of this contention, they point to the fact that before Mr. Houch- in made any statement regarding the suit or the interviews given out by Mos- by and Goldman, he had a long confer- ence with Perry Rader, reporter of the Supreme Court, who jis one of the most Aardon ardent advocates of the cause of Sena- tor Stone and the old guard, and who is a prominent political enemy of Gov. Folk. Defendants Not Talking. Following this conference, Mr. Houch- in furnished the newspapers a state- ment, only a small portion of which was in Mr. Houchin’s writing. On the ad- vice of their attorney, Judge Hazell, Mosby and Goldman refused today to make any further statement regarding the suit. However, it is pointed out by others that Mr. Houchin’s statement in- dicates a motive aside from the desire to obtain his $500. He makes an attack on Gov. Folk, of whom there was no great- er admirer four years ago than Mr Houchin. The Stone Democrats are joicing in the embarrassment Gov. Folk by the exposure at this time of the facts leading up to the loan of the $500 for support of him by the pa- per published by Mosby and Goldman. There has been no attempt by Houchin nor any other person, however, to con- nect Gov. Folk with the transaction or to show that he even knew of the pay- ment of the $500 or the negotiations lead- ing up to it. The Governor has declined to make any statement regarding the matter ex- cept to say that he had no knowledge of any part of it until the disclosures made by the filing of the suit.* The note became due Jan. 11, 19%.

Of four cases tried—one defendant being tried on two charges— were three acquittals and one viction. Ex-Councilman Kratz, who 8 extradited from Mexico after more -nan two years’ work on the part of Folk, and T. Ed. Albright, tried on two charges of bribery, were acquitted. Louis Decker was convicted at Spring- field, Mo., in March, 1906, and sentenced to five years in the Penitentiary. How He I: xplains a Typical Delay. After a delay of 20 months—and after the Post-Dispatch had asked Mr. Sager the cause of the delay—the appeal was this week perfected and forwarded to In all the boodle cases tried during Folk’s administration the appeals reached the Supreme Court within 60 days after the trial. Decker has been at liberty on an appeal bond - of $10,000. The crime with which he is > z - charged was committed in 1899—eight years agb. Probably another year will elap=e before the Supreme Court decides the case, if, indeed, it assumes jurisdic- tion at all. Sea rer lays the delay to the inefficiency of t © court stenographer. Jerry Owen, the official stenographer, said that for mor: than a year he was unable to get frou Sager certain records that had been promised. When the case was tried Owen said Sager told him that much of the evidence would consist of trans- cripts from former trials. Owen says he made repeated demands for these records, but did not gct them until Aprii, 1907—a year after the trial. The transcer pt was completed in June. The bill of exceptions was finished five weeks ago.

Consultsition free he was acquitted of another charge at Macon, Mo. Kratz was tried at Butler, Mo., and acquitted. Sager blamed the jury for his failure to convict the leader of the old Council combine. The evidence de- veloped by Folk showed that Kratz, as the representative of the Council, had agreed to pass a Suburban railway franchise for $60,000. The money to be used for this purpose was found in a vault of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. It was used as evidence at the trial. : The case of Robert M. Snyder, the Kansas City millionaire, who boodled the Central Traction franchise through the Municipal Assembly at a cost of $250,000, was also passed down to Sager. Folk obtained @ conviction in the Cir- cult Court, but the Supreme Court re- versed and remanded the case. The question in this case was one of resi- dence of the defendant, as the bribery had been committed four years prior to the finding of the indictment. It was shown in the trial that Snyder lived a year in New York, and with this time taken off of his residence in Mis- souri, he was still amenable to the law, the three-years stutute of Nmitations not being a bar to prosecution. Sager carried the case on the dockets for a long time. The State was never ready for trial, the excuse being that important witnesses could not be found. The indictment was nelle prossed, and a new information issved, which was standing against Snyder at the time he was killed In an automobile accident. The Priesmeyer and Warner Case. The indictment of Priesmeyer and Warner was the outcome of plans laid by Mayor Wells to trap members of the House of Delegates suspected of bood- ling. Information reached Mayor Wells that representatives of the House com- bine were trying to get money from Henry Ascher to pass a garage bin. The Mayor arranged with the Circuit Attormmey to have Ascher pay the money demanded—$500, which was furnished by Mr. Wells—to the representative of the House designated to receive it. Sager was informed immediately after the money had been paid, but when the men were taken to his office the bills were not found in their possession. War- ner and Priesmeyer were taken before the Grand Jury and interrogated about the transaction. This. was made the basis of a plea in abatement, which was overruled by Judge Muench; but when the men were re-indicted by the De- cember grand jury they were not called as witnesses. The money used was discovered by an aleft teller of the City National Bank Oct. 19 when it was deposited to the credit of Sam Weisman. He received’ the money from Daniel E. Naughton, Assist- ant Clerk of the House of Delegates. Naughton got away before Sager could subpena him, and when he returned he had an attorney who advised him to stand on his constitutional rights. The Courts have three times sustained him in his refusal to answer questions. The State has not been able to show how or when the money passed out of the possession of Priesmeyer, who is al- leged to have received it from Ascher at the direction of Warner, or how Naugh- ton received it. Naughton 1s still under the procéss of the grand jury in this matter. Weisman told the grand jury that he got the money from Naughton. and if Naughton had been called promptiy as a witness the result might have beon different from what it was. What Was Done With Two Prisoners. After the indictment of Priesmeyer and Warner, near the hour of midnight. Oct. IS, they were released on common law bonds furnished at the request of Assistant Circuit Attorney Gillespie, who accompanied the prisoners to the home of Judge Rodgers. Gillespie is report- ed to have told Judge Rodgers that he aid not wish to “inconvenience” the pris- ew Mo., and acquitted.

The Post-Dispatch furnished Mr. Sa- ger evidence that the House combine had employed a legislative agent to So- licit fees in the asphalt paving bills, which were held up for months, and finally kiNed. By this information he was able te call befcre the erand jury Wil- liam Robert Coyne, who, while refusing tO answer questions, was indicted for perjury for failure to rememter whether he had approached citizens who had bills pending in the House and solicitea a fee to procure their passage. Coyne's case is set for trial in Judge Williams’ court, Dec. 16. Many cases have been dismissed by Circuit Attorney Sager after the de- fendants have been held for prosecution by Judge Rodgers 0. the Court of Gen- eral Sessions. This Court has the pow- er to hear preliminary examinations and acquit the defendant or hold him for prosecution. Judge Rodgers expressed surprise when informed that seme of the prisoners he ordered held for trial had been discharged arbitrarily by the Circuit Attorney or his assistants. Dis- cussing these cases Judge Rodgers said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “After a case has been disposed of ia my court it passes from my jurisdiction to that of the Circuit Court, in which the Circuit Attorney is the prosecuting official. Naturally I take considerable interest in the cases I have passed upon. Why Were These Cases Dismissed? ‘In the lst of cases dfSmissed by, the Cireuit Attorney I observe that of Al- bert Cook. The charge was man- slaughter in the fourth degree. The evi- dence convinced me that this was a case of deliberate assault and the defendant should have been tried. “In the of William Jordan the testimony showed that the victim, whose name I do not recall, was stabbed to death without provocation. “The conductor and engineer of a train testified that they saw E. E. Sta- bler, Henry Freund and A. F. Patterson, charged with burglary in the second de- gree, stealing goods from a freight car. I haye no idea why the cases against these men were nolle prossed, or why they should have been. ‘I regarded the testimony as conc'u- sive in the cases against Thomas Tra- ey, Willfam Frith aad Morris Friedman and ordered them tried. i spent much time considering the case of C. P. Kelly, charged with sec- ond degree murder for stabbing to death his 17-year-old son. I am amazed that his case should have been dis- missed. The boy was reckless and in- discreet, but there was nothing to show that his: father was justified in killing him, and a jury should have passed upon the case of the defendant. “Several cases, which I do not read- ily recall, have been dismissed by the Circult Attorney, without apparent jus- tification. I am surprised that any man should be set free after the testimony clearly demonstrates his probable guilt, as it must before I will order him held for trial. One Man Acting As Judge and Jury. “If one man is going to say who shall or who shall not be tried for violation of the criminal statutes the Courts had better go out of business. I am not disposed to cfiticise the Circuit Attor- ney’s office, but I cannot refrain from expressing my indignation when frag- rant instances of miscarriage of jus- tice are brought to my: attention. Every case heard by me imposes a serious financial obligation on the State. I re- gret that the efforts of my court come to naught after I have considered a @ase carefully and heard every witness case SAGER “IN ACTION” IN COURT, AND WHA BECOMES OF HIS CASES whose testimony might throw light on the alleged offense.’’ One of the notable cases dismissed by the Circuit Attorney was that of Col. Zach Mulhall, livestock agent for a rail- road and promoter of Wild West shows, charged with assault to kill. Mulhail had trouble with Frank Reed in front of the Cummings’ Indian Show on the World’s Fair Pike, June 18, 1904 He shot at Reed. The bullet struck Ernest Morgan, aged 17, inflicting a wound which completely paralyzed his left side.

The Supreme Court re- versed the case on a technicality and remanded it. The case was continued several times, and finally noiue prossed Sept. 30, 1907, by Assistant Circuit At- torney Grant Gillespie. In regard to the dismissal of the case Judge Foster said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “I read the decision of the Supreme Court in the Mulhall case and there is nothing in it so far as I can see to justify the Circuit Attorney in dismiss- ing it. It was a matter of common re- port when I was on the criminal bench that many of Mulhall’s wealthy friends were inteceding for him. | thought the verdict was a just one. There has been too much pistol toting around St. Louis and the jury that tried Mulhall probably felt that it should be stopped. ’ The Mystery of the Mulhall Case. Judge Taylor, before whom Mulhall was arraigned, said: “I left the bench about the time the Mulhall case was tried. I felt that there was some se- cret influence at work in this case, but never knew what it was. Mulhall’s at- torneys did not want to try the case ir: my court.”’ Morgan, the victim of Muthall’s. bul- let, recently was awarded $5000 damages against Mulhall. Sager declared, after his failure to convict “Little George’ Williams, ex- detective, of the murder of Lee Killlan, another ex-detective, that there pre- vails an astounding indifference to the sane and aggressive enforcement of the criminal law. He said that perjury and coercion are methods of defense in St. Louis, and that the jury Msts are dis- gracefully bad. The jurors who acquit- ted Williams said that their judgment was influenced largely by the fact that the Circuit Attorney neglected to call two witnesses whose testimony would have been of vital importance. After the acquittal of Williams the assault to kill charge against ex-Detective Thomas McGrath was dismissed by the Circuit Attorney. Folk and Sager: How They Compare. The records show that in 1906 Sager's second year in office, the convictions approximated 620, acquittals 185 and non- prosecutions 330. For 1902, Folk’s sec- ond year in office, there were 380 con- victions, 106 acquittals and 134 nonprose- Mr. Folk had two appointive and Mr. no cutions. assistants, one elective assistant one assistant carried as a clerk. Folk’s elective assistant rendered service in the prosecution of cases, de- voting: practically all of his time _ to grand jury investigation. The principal work of the office was done by Mr. Folk and Assistant Circuit Attorneys Bishop and Maroney. During the year 1902 the Circuit Attorney’s office was weighted down with the boodle prosecu- tions, and Folk, Maroney and Bishop devoted the greater part of their time to these important cases. During the year 1906 Mr. Sager :ad few or no prosecutions of an extraordi- nary character. He has eight appoint- ive assistants, and he, with this entire force, was in a position to devote prac- tically all of his time to the ordinary criminal cases. Folk dismissed 21 per cent of all his cases and Sager 30 per cent. Folk’s percentage of nonprosecu- tions to convictions was 26 and Sager's 35. e Mr. Sager started prosecutions against the Ice Trust, the lighting util- ities trust, the plate glass trust, and haa filed several thousand suits agains« corporations for tailure to file anti-trust affidavits with the Secretary of Stata He filed ouster suits against the Cella Commission Co., and started a crusade against bucket-shopping. The only re- sults produced so far from these special prosecutions were in the suits filed against the éorporations for failure to file the anti-trust affidavits. These cases were not prosecuted, but were dismissed upon payment of $23.10, of which $10 goes to the credit of the Circuit Attorney, $3 to the special prosecutor in charge of the suit, $5.9 to the Circuit Clerk, $3 to the stenographer, and $1.15 to the Sheriff. Suit against the Cella Commission Co., charging it with conducting a bucket- shop, was filed by Sager June 29, 1.6. The jacket in the Circuit ~\erk’s office, which should contain the papers in the case, contains this notation: ‘‘No rec- ord entry is filed in this case for the reason that the Clerk has been unable to locate the files.”’ eet 8 4ge Appendicitis. How to Avoid it and Escape a Surgical Operation, Told by One Who Knows. A Simple Method That is Always Efficacious. It has only been a few years since it was discovered that a surgical opera- tion would cure appendicitis; in fact, it has been but a short time since the disease was discoyered and named. Whenever there is an inflamed con- dition of the appendix, caused by im- vacted faeces in the small cavity open- ing into the intestine, you then have appendicitis. j The older doctors used ‘to call this inflammation of the bowels, and were puzzled to know the cause. Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, why we find it, where it is, or what are its functions, if it has any. The disease for which the operation is a cure is usually caused by indiges- tion, and in many cases follows a large and indigestible meal. . Physicians have until recently rec- ommended an operation, but now, as it is known that it is caused by indiges- tion, or dyspepsia, a cure without an operation is assured. Where the patient is treated with Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. the un- healthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and intestines are placed back in their normal condi- tion, every organ of the body operates as it should, and the inflammation is reduced and the operation is avoided. Conscientious physicians, who are looking after the best interests of their patients, will always keep a sup- aly of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Facet in their office; where in cases of sudden attacks of indigestion they can relieve the patient at once. There ‘is no record of a case of ap- pendicitis where the stomach and bow- els were in a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal. No better advicegcould be given to anv one who has attacks of indiges- tion, or who has been threatened with appendicitis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 50 cents, and take home a package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach or bowels, heart disease or stomach troubles, sour eruptions, acidity or fer- mentation are present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and get re- lief as soon as possible. At all druggists-——50 cents. Send us your name and address to- day and we will at once send you by mai] a sample package free.

Sager filed a motion for judgment on the plead- ings Jan. 9, 1907, which was followed by a long answer by the defendant. The records are now missing, and Clerk Hunt of Circuit Court Room No. 4 says he has no idea where they may be found. One of the documents, he said, was discovered in Mr. Sager’s posses- sion. Unless the papers are found the case will have to be started over again. Hunt says he has been told by bot': the attorneys .or the State and the de- fense that they do not know where the papers are. There will be no trial of bucketshop cases until the Cella suit is disposed of in the courts. History of His War on Trusts. The anti-trust crusade was started by Sager, July 24, 1906, when suits to annul the charters of the Polar Wave Ice and Fuel Co. and the Merchants’ Ice and Coal Co. were ‘led in the Circult Court. It was al_ezed that a combina- tion had been formed to control the price of ice. In addition to charter for- feiture the Circuit Attorney sued for penalties aggregating $71,400. Sager has repeatedly amended his informations against the companies. Judge McDon- ald recently dismissed the suit against the Merchants’ Co. on account of a defect in the petition. Leave was grant- ed the Circuit Attorney to file. au amended petition, which was done last week. The Polar Wave case is still in the hands of Commissioner Allen, tes- timony having concluded late last sum- mer, more than a year after the suit was filed. The prosecuting authorities in Kan- sags City broke up the ice trust with- in a few months after suits were filed, and got judgments for penaltics aggre- vatine $5),0%. The same success was recorded in Toledo, where the ice trust was fined $20,000. Mr., Allen’s findings in the Polar Wave case will be submitted to the Cir- cuit Court in January. It may be an- other six months or year before it is finally disposed of in the Circuit Court, and if it is against the ice company, of course an appeal wil] be taken to the Supreme Court, making another long delay. The Union Electric Ouster Proceedings. Ouster suits were filed against the Union Electric Light and Power Co, May 18, 1907, to forfeit its franchise and the collection of penalties aggregating $134,800. The company was charged with being a party to a combination to main- tain the prices of electric current and to prevent competition. The record shows the company was given 15 days, June 4, in which to plead. A demurrer was filed June 15, aileging that two counts of the petition were inconsistent, in that the first cause of action alleged the firm's corporate ex- istence, and the second denied it. Tt was further contended the two causes were improperly joined. The case was continued Nov. 4, and Nov. 14 the Cir- cult Attorney amended his petition by striking out the second count. The de- fendant was given 10 days, Nov. 16, to plead to the amended petition. A de murrer was filed Novy. , alleging that the averments in the petition were in- sufficient to constitute a cause of 4c- tion. In the seven months the case has been pending in the courts little or no progress has been made. Sager started a suit against the Pittsa- burg Plate Glass Co., which has a branch in St. Louis, for refusing to file an affidavit that it was not a party to an unlawful combination. He asked that the charter of the company in this State be revoked, but the Court sus- tained a demurrer to his petition. No- tice was given by the Circult Attorney of his intention to appeal to the Su- preme Court, but this has not been dome. The company continues to defy the laws of Missouri by refusing to make the anti-trust affidavit. One Place Where Sager Succeeds. There is one class of special prosecu- tions in which the Circult Attorney has attained success. These are the sults filed against corporations for faflure to file anti-trust affidavits. Two suits are fled against each sorpereres #0 charged, the one being for forfeiture of charter and the other for a of $1000. The records show that such suite were filled by the Circuit At- torney last month. An incomplete record in the office of | the Circuit Clerk shows that 478 of these cases have already been settled upon payment of costs. in the charter for- feiture suits the defendant corporation pays the costs, amounting to 10, and in the penalty cases the State pays the costs. Of the cases so far disposed of 239 defendants have pa'd costs. As each case produces a revenue for the Circuit Attorney of $10, Sager’s share of the roceeds of these dismissed sults is 23%. The attorney who prepared the suits, who is one of Sager's assistants, gets $717. It is estimated that the Circuit At- torney will derive a profit of rhofe $5000 out of the corporation suits Tor th: year 1907, in addition to his fixed cases. suit is filed the corporation is notifi that the may be settled on payment of costs. rare occasions the cases are t Judge Taylor censured the revit At torney’s office a few days ago for fail- ure to prosecute these cases. He de- clared that the cases should be prose- cuted In the regular Way. Sager’s assistant in charge of these cases is kept busy dismissing them. Compared The Circuit Attorney's office, under Sager, is costing the taxpayers three times what it did under Folk. In the expenses of the office no account is taken of the two new courts, created ‘or handling felony cases. Mr. Sager'’s staff of assistants has been doubled since he took charge of the office. Although the office, under Folk, was weighed down with 40 boodle cases, in addition to the regular docket. and much time was devoted to investiga- tions, trials and appeals, the work was done by Mr. Folk and three assistants. Every boodle/ case tried by Folk took at least a week’s t'me in court of the Circuit Attorney and his two principal assistants, and some of the cases re- ‘ uired more than a week to try, to say nothing of the time needed to prepare for trial. The records show that the wnder the two follows: Fiscal year, ending April, 1904, under Folk: Salary of Folk in the Auditor's office expenses of the office administrations are as an- 811.416.42 2.164.998 Contingent fund FOR THE FISCAL YEAR Salary for Folk and as- siatants q Printing and stationery...

The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a flower which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. Few young women appreciate the shock of the system incident to this change. Many neglect to deal with the internal disorders. As surely as the general health suf: fers when. there is derangement of the delicate womanly organs, 80 surely when these organs are established in health the face and form at once witness to the fact in re- newed comeliness. More than a million women have found health and hap- piness in the use of Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Ingredients on label—containg no al- cohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. It is made wholly of those native, American, medicinal roots most high- ly recommended by leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. For nursing mothers, or for those broken-down in health, also for the expectant mothers, to prepare the sys- tem for the coming of baby and make its advent easy and almost painless, there is no medicine quite so good as “Favorite Prescription.” It can do no harm in any condition of the system. It is a most potent invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine, nicely adapted to woman’s delicate system by a physician of large experience in the treatment of woman’s peculiar ailments. Bad Symptoms. The woman who has headaches, backache, sees imagi- nary dark spots or specks floating or dancing before her eyes, has gnawing distress or heavy full feeling in stom- ach, faint spells, easily startled or ex- cited, is suffering from complaints peculiar to women that should have early attention. Not all of above symptoms are likely to be present in any ‘case at one time. Neglected or badly treated and such cases often run into maladies which demand the surgeon’s knife if they do not result fatally. No medicine extant has such a long and numerous record of cures in such cases as Dp. Pierce’s Favorite Preserip- tion. ¢No medicine has such a strong professional indorsement of each of its several ingredients—worth more than any number of ordinary non-profes- sional testimonials. The very best in- gredients known to medical science for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments enter into its composition. No alcohol; harmful, or habit-form drug is to be found in the list of its ingredients ted on each bottle-wrapper and at- under oath as complete and cor- reet.

It is remarkable— Because the Post-Dispatch is the only St. Louis newspaper showing gains for either Daily or Sunday in this period. Because during seven and one-half Imonths a new paper has been published’ in its daily fleld without affecting in the slightest the steady growth of both daily and Sunday Post-Dispatch.

Uy Leased Wire From tue New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The World this morning reprints from the New York Sun of Dec. 6 an editorial, in which that paper said of Mr. Roose- velt: ““A more conscienceless or more reckless demagogue never afflicted this country,” and intimated that his mini was unhinged. Taking this as its text, the World says, in part: “If Mr. Roosevelt’s mind is unhinged, Cromwell was a chattering imbecile and Napoleon died from the effects of pare- COKL COMPANY STOCK ISSUED TO WALSH LAW CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—The Government made efforts today to clear up the mys- tery of the transfers of stock in John R, Walsh companies to Walsh's lawyers prior to his indictment for the alleged looting of the Chicago National Bank, Equitable Trust Co. and Home Savings Bank. - Louis E. Hart, one of Walsh's torneys, was required to testify concern- ing the manner in which 9000 shares of stock in the Indiana Southern Coal Co came to be entered on the books of the company in his name. Hart first said he bought 300 shares. When told he appeared to be the own- er of 9909 shares, he said he thought ine bought all the stock credited to him some time in 1905. He said he paid $60,- 700 for the stock with money furnished him by Walsh. When asked when and

Folk Worked Without Red Tape; Sager's Office Like a Fortress The Circuit Attorney’s office under Mr. Sager has lost much of the Demo- cratic simplicity that characterized it under Folk. It is, in fact, no longer the Circuit Attorney’s office, but by some arbitrary and unexplained decree, the Department of Justice. Getting at the chief of the Department of Justice is no easy matter. First the visitor ap-, proaches the policeman at the gateway and asks for permission to see Mr. Sager. The policeman asks a stenog- rapher whether the visitor May see the chief, and so on. The police department complains that it is hampered in the punishment of criminals on account of the frequency with which the parole is exercised by the courts upon the recommendation of the Cireuit Attorney. A recent case was that of Michael Jackson, accused of embezzling $90 from the A. Moll Gro- cery Co. Jackson ran-away, and the grocery company spent $200 to have him brought back from Chicago for prose- cution. An information for embezzle- ment had been issued against Jackson, but he was allowed to plead guilty to petit larceny and was sentenced to one year in the Workhouse, and, on the —— recommendation of the Circuit Attor- ney’s office, immediately paroled. Jack- son passed by the store of the grocery company the day after his parole and made ‘‘faces’’ at the cashier who caused his arrest. He was 2 years old and single. Chief of Detectives Smith was disgust- ed with the action of the Circuit Attor- ney’s office in this case. He says it is impossible for the police to get an in- formation against a criminal unless the information office is personally § con- vinced of his guilt. Sager’s representa- tive, he says, sets himself up as Judge and jury, thereby making it exceeding- ly difficult for the police to suppress thieves. Mr. Sager has a habit of blaming his juries for the acquittal of defendants. He blamed the jury in the Kratz and Williams cases, and also in the case of Policeman Humphrey. who shot and killed an ambulance driver. Frank Etz, alleged bookmaker, tried for violation of the anti-pool selling law, escaped in a differe manner. The information against Etz charged that he accepted bets on a race run at Fort Erie, Pa., when it should have been Fort Erie, Ontario. Etz was discharged when this error was called to the Court’s atten- tion.

“Difficult Comparison,’ Says Sager; “But I’m Doing More Than Folk Did A summary of the facts developed by the investigation of the Circuit Attor- ney’s office were laid before Mr. Sager bv a Post-Dispatch reporter, and he was asked whether he cared to make a staternent regarding them. He re- plied that he would say nothing at the present time, but that he was prepar- ing statistical records of the office un- der his own and the Folk administra- tions.

Judge Pollard fined George & Bechtel, a dairyman at 108 Biddle street, $100 for putting formaldehyde in his milk following Bechtel’s trial in the Dayton Street Police Court Wednesday

DIRECTORS OPEN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE SESSION _ =

( * z % - 4 i id ' Hold Business Meeting at.Chicago-Me- _ Aleer and Hedges After Deals--Com- iskey and Johnson Do Not Meet.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY- ASEBALL magnates have possession Annex, with its Pompeiian rooms, CHICAGO, Dee. 11. of Chicago’s Auditorium green rooms and ex- tended eorridors, fringed with ferns.. The elub owners, “managers and several of the players of the American League are to hold forth there for the day and probably a part of the morrow. | Every elub was represented long before noon when President Ban Johnson led the four members of the Board of Directors over *to his private office for a little business before the big session. It 4 looked like a joy party all through the morning as one magnate Cafter another arrived and greeted those in advance. * Pfesident Hedges of the St. Louis ' Browns was among the first ones of the morning, arriving at an early hour and going to the annex for breakfast. Manager McAleer was al- ready sitting in the lobby waiting for ts boss and the two hied themselves «to a quiet corner to compare notes (wand lay some snares for a first base- man if possible before the meeting | whould close. & Nucleus of New League. ? John 1, Taylor, the jovial. young : owner of the Boston team, was here lm day_in advance of the main squad- Myon, so that he might Mist all his ‘Mrading stock and get a prominent ‘‘pliacé “to call out his offers. He has _ “mere players under contract than any ‘dowrler- ever has had before in the “thistbry of baseball, and he laughingly ‘ «leclared that if the American League went “busted” because of the hard ‘timés ,-he would start another league ; rrith his own players and monopolize ‘Jthe ‘whole concern. “ Taylor had with him his veteran “manager, Who rude such a good im- ipression last «11 with the team, none -jother than «ld Jim:McGuire, who was miways at }:is boss’ elbow to sanction * ~~. @r scowl upon a proposed trade. nn Most prominent of all the magnates _kwho strode about the lobby and ** through the halls was Charley Comis- - key, the owner of the Chicago White “Box. He towered above them all, not ionly in stature, but apparently in ‘gnind, for around Comiskey was al- ways gathered a bunch and he was lled off into corners time after time d consulted by Charley Somers of iWieveland, Frank Farrell of New . Work, Taylor and Hedges. : «Rival .Chieftains.Apart. .. President Johnson called the board ‘directors: to meet in his office at on and was not seen much at the ecular headquarters during _the rnifig. It was hinted among the ball men that Johnson was avoid- iskey and would not face the a ~ oe idedly before every club owner in e league. - | ~, But Comiskey said today that he make no effort to put Johnson But of the business as long as the ifrom soilin other members of the league wanted him as leader. The officials of four of the clubs, Chi- cago, Detroit, Washington and Boston, were on the ground yesterday after- noon and the rest are expected at an early hour this morning. Are Arriving Fast. Secretary Navin and President Yaw- key of Detroit, President Taylor, Man- ager McGuire and Secretary McBreen of Boston; Secretary Barnard of Cleve- land and President Noyes and Secre- tary Rapley of Washington were among those who got in yesterday. President land, President Shibe of Philadelphia, President Farrell of New York and President Hedges and Manager Mc- Aleer of St. Louis arrived today. American Association men are much in ev'*>-nce at the Annex. President Watkins of Indianapolis and Secretary Quinn of Columbus were among the early arrivals. President McCaffery of Toronto, pen- nant winners in the astern League, ac- companied "by Barrow, once a promi- nent ball man, now a hotel proprietor in Toronto, are here for the meeting. Connie Mack of the Athletes is on the coast and will ‘not attend. The ath- letic manager has his team picked and is not eager for any trades or deals. Discuss Schedules Amicably. The magnates will probably spend all of their time discussing the finan- cial and other business affairs of the league, and considering a few changes in the rules. No talk of schedules will come up until the spring meeting, though along that line President John- son announced that he had arranged with the National League officials .to hold a meeting of the schedule. commit- tees of the two leag early .in Janu- ary. Neither league will decide on the time for opening their respective sea- sons until after that meeting. President’ Johrison said he was in fa- vor of a rulé which would prevent the clubs from using an army of new re- cruite’in the last four or five weeks of the season. This wholesale use of new men in the final weeks of each. season creates unkind talk when the pennant races are warm and Johnson hopes the rule will be favorably legislated on. The application of the American As- sociation to put a club in Chicago, the rule in regard to preventing the pitcher the balls, the lowering of the pitcher’s box and the pop bottle evil are the matters which will be dis- cussed.

EUROPE CHANCE FOR CUP Brooklyn Yacht Club to Offer Trophy for “Sane” Racing.

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—At the annual meeting of the Brooklyn Yacht Club Tuesday night a committee appointed to consider the matter will recommend to the club that a cup be offered for international] yacht races along the lines proposed by Sir Thomas Lipton in_ his recent chaflenge for the America’s cup, which was declined by the New York Yacht Club. The type of yacht advocated for this race is a ‘“‘sane’’ type of boat, such as an ordinary yachtsman would be able to afford, and not a racing machine, such as is required under the rules of the America’s cup contests. It is proposed to issue invitations to all the principal yacht clubs in Europe to participate in the contests for the new cup.

FORM REVERSAL 4 Lose Three Straight Games in City League to Schneidt Bowlers. °

The De Soto Stars gave an exhibi- tion of a reversal of form on the Pal- ace alleys that would result in the team being ruled off the turf if the members were racehorses instead of bowlers. The Stars are.the real stake horses in the City Tenpin League race and won the first series by a grand up- hill finish, , Off to a poor start in the second se- ries, the teas was doing nicely, as five of the best bowlers in the city are on the team, most of whom are always good for a 200 average. Stars Are Whitewashed. The Schneidts whitewashed the Stars on the Grand alleys Tuesday night. The Stars were anything but what their name implied, as only the second game was close, the Scnneidts winning it by six pins. It was not that -the Schneidts rolled such a strong game that Capt. Vandewater’s five lost, but simply because the team was not roll- ing good enough to win. An 8121-3 av- erage for the De Soto Siars teils the tale. It was the lowest average by far registered by any of the 10 teems bowling in the City League Tuesday night. The Schneidts averaged 80. Graeff was high man for hts team, with a 186 2-3 average. Stokes, the man who averaged 206 for 45 games Saturday, got but 152. Jellison’s average was 158 and Va dewater and Barron could not get out of the 160s, either. Homer San- ders, with 1792-3, did the best work, but even that figure is poor work for the big fellow. The laugh will be on the Stars for many days to come, while the Sctmeidts jump into second position in the league standing, with seven games won and five lost. Palaces Still Winning. The Palace team kent up its good vork and won the first and third from the Fern Glens on the Grand alleys The Palace team has won 10 games and lost one. Capt.. Jules Schmidt's five averaged 939 to 934 for the Fern Glens. Jules, with a 210 average, was in nice form, while Brother Gus Schmidt was next in line, with a 203 mark. Joe Bauer of the Fern Glens was the star of the match. He opened with a 226, Jropped to 224 in his second and fin- ished with a 191 for a 2132-3 average. His work helped his team greatly to rnake the strong showing it dia. The De Soto Stars have mailed their entry to Cincinnati for the American Bowling Congress tournament, Feb. 8 to 25. Entries were made in the five- men, twao-men and individual competi- tions, Barron and Jellison and Vande- water and Stokes to roll tn the two-men tournament. The De Soto Stars are also entered for the city tournament, which opens on Jan. 65. a —_ Maroons’ Coast Trip Off. CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—The proposed Southern California trip of the St. Vin- cent’s College football eleven of this city is off. The Los Angeles team

He can snap his fingers under the nose of these duns and shout ‘Ha, ha!’’ Judge Reynolds of the St. Louis Circult Court has decided that a husband need not pay bills incurred by his wife unless she or the creditor is able to prove that the husband did not provide for the wife and give her money to make her pur- chases. “These are the palmy days of the poor old husband,”’ remarked one pioneer cit- izen on hearing of the judicial ruling. “me suffered many years and done nobly.

An ordinance directing the Board of Public Improvements to carry the plans into execution will be intro- duced in the Municipal Assembly within a few days. The only hitch in the movement to abolish what is probably the most dan- gerous grade crossing in the city is the Board's inabfity thus far to get the rail- roads to vacate a strip of ground 2% feet wide between Hunt avenue and the It is expected that this obstacle will be overcome. The land will be necessary in widening Tower Grove avenue north of the tracks, where the roadway now is but 60 feet. An estimate puts the cost of abolish- ing the crossing at $500,000. The city will have to pay for the injury to adjoining property. Rearrangement of the. streets in the neighborhood will also have to be made, so that traffic now passing over Manchester road may be diverted over Hunt avenue to Tower Grove avenue, thence south to a new thoroughfare which the railroads promise to establish from the Frisco tracks to Blaine avenue. who laws Place for Baron Ishil.

Dr. McKay was married Thanksgiv- ing evening to Miss Florence Newell. daughter of James P. Newell, a broker and former Councilman. His medical friends had planned rice throwing and other jests the evening of the weuuing, but the bride saw that champagne was served just at the moment she and her husband wished to depart, and thus the rice throwing was averted.

FIRST PRINCEPLES OF FREEDOM. The revival of Sunday laws in various cities is cistinctly a religious movement. The laws in the first place reflected the religious creeds and pre- dilections of their authors. In taking notice of the flaming zeal which everywhere accompanies Sunday law enforcement it should be remembered that, notwithstanding the pious inspiration of Sabbatarianism, the courts have held almost without exception that legislation of this kind can be sustained only on secular grounds. To advance religious belief 28 a reason for Sunday blue laws would be to nullify them. We have the strange spectacle, therefore, of re- ligious laws enacted and enforced at the demand of religionists, and upheld by courts which deny that they are religious laws and assert that they are nothing more than police and health meas- ures. This is a situation calling for a little com- mon honesty and for some genuine American backbone. If the laws are to be enforced in obedience to a religious demand and for re- ligious purposes, they should be carefully re- vised by the law-making powers, for it is proba- ble that the best religious sentiment today is no‘! reflected in these fantastic enactments. It may be doubted if a convention of any church would re-enact the old Sunday code in its en- tirety. When we consider that most people are attached to no church and that many churches are liberal in the matter of Sunday diversions, it will be seen that any revision of these laws would probably result in expunging nine-tenths of them from the statute books. . Religious laws having no standing in court except on the false pretense that they are secu- lar in purpose ought to be easily repealed. When they were first enacted in this country they had the weight of the chfrch,- of wealth, of nine-tenths of the population and of practically all respectability behind them. It is not so pow. Compelling their rigid execution at this time, a few zealots are simply invoking the au- thority of sanctimonious lawgivers dead and gone for the regulation of people of different beliefs, different tastes and different necessities. We are to remember also tkhat true American liberty had some of its most important begin- nings in successful assaults upon these very laws. It was not until the people had learned to ques- tion the despotic powers of the New England theocracy and the State Church of Virginia that they ventured to assail the awful pretensions of George III, who ruled by divine right. Sam Adams in Massachusetts and Thomas Jefferson in Vir- ginia were hounded to thcir graves by the ele- ment which supported the blue laws. These men and others almost as celebrated held that emancipation from ecclesiastical authority was essential to liberty. What would they have thought of 80,000,000 of people subjected to re- ligious laws which gained their force by judicial denials of the self-evident fact that they are re- ligicus laws? It. is maintained in some qvarters, and with reason, tha: repeated invasions of popular rights during the last thirty or forty years have re- sulted in a serious curtailment of liberty. If reasonable and harmless diversion on Sunday may now be prohibited by a small religious ele- }ment, backed by a notorious false pretense in the courts, it must be that there has also been a most emphatic loss. of independence on the part of the people. The worst of all slaves are those who willingly bend to the yoke. Many important questions are pressing for set- tlement, but they all shrink into insignificance in comparison with this one, involving as it does the personal liberty Of millions. Tariffs, trusts, currency, rebates and all such problems will hardly be declt with wisely by men who ar® not free or by courts which are terrorized or insin- cere.

out Bank Rate Raised. To the Fditor of the Post-Dispatch. Some St. Louis papers in the last few days have had a great deal to say in regard to how liberal the St. Louis. banking concerns have been; also that Chicago banks have been guilty of hoarding money. Is it possible that you think the common people read that and believe a word of it? I ama St. Louls man, but I happen to know that your banks have hogged their share and are still at it. I cashed a small draft here today and was charged 2% cents fer it. I never paid over 10 cents before. The banker here said he had to protect himself, as the St. Louis banks had raised the rates.

The daily occurrence of suicides and murders by the carbolic-acid route and other common poisons sold by the drug shops against the law is an unpar- donable outrage in St. Louis, and can easily be pre- vented by enforcing. the law regulating the sale of poisons. The Coroner, the Circuit Attorney and the Health Commissioner are decidediy derelict in their duties to the public, and the protection we should give to the many lunatics who kill themselves and others with carbolic acid. I say stop it! I shall send a copy of this letter to each of the official de- partments directly responsible for these erimes, be- cause they are ignorant of the laws and do not think about their duty which they promised to give the public. I shall positively pursue every case of pol- soning, and Tt shall personally prosecute the drug- sists who sell poisons to people without registering the uame and residence of the purehaser, the pur-, pose of use and the signature of the purchaser. Besides, no druggist is allowed to sell polsons with- out @ physician's prescription. Look up the law and be convinced that I am correct, I shall stop the suicides by the common poison route, and make our Public officials think. pe kg ; ) _ HERMAN W. TABER, M. D., ‘2029 8.

_ Plain Talks Containing Helpful Hints for Readers of the Post- | Dispatch From an. Amatory Expert.

qT WHAT TO GIVE AT CHRISTMAS.

O many letters come to me asking, ‘“‘What shall I give for Christmas?” . that it would be impossible to answer them all separately, so, perhaps, = these few words concerning holiday gifts will help the anxfous ones who @re perplexed over the problem of suitable remembrances for his or her sweet- Seart. A great outlay of money is not necessary, for it is the thought which counts, not the price. Men always appreciate gifts made by the nimble fingers of their lady loves, for they know that it takes time and thought to make by hand even the simplest remembrances. Have you noticed the knitted ties which are now so popular with the stronger sex? They are quite expensive when bought at the shops, but any girl can make one if she utilizes her spare mo- ments. Embroidered handkerchiefs are also acceptable, as well as college pil- lows. The man who favors the weed will hail a pipe or cigarette holder with no end of joy, and for the book lover there is no more appropriate gift than a favorite novel. Gifts for girls are numerous, and all the stores are crowded with attractive novelties which appeal to the elusive fancy of woman. Pretty purses fin leather or some new material, an attractively framed print which is listed among her favorites, a dainty toilet table set, books or simple jewelry, all will gladden the hearts of fair femininity. Discover, if you can, the tastes and inclina- tions of the one to whom you wish to give and then buy your present accord- ingly. But, remember, it is the true Christmas spirit as revealed in the few words written on the card accompanying the gift which will make or mar the success of your holiday remembrance. CARELESS CONVERSATION. O MUCH has been written concerning the importance of manners and ot dress in attracting the elusive fancy of man, but little has been said of the impression made on him by the misuse of the English language. Many girls unconsciously fall into bad conversational habits and indulge in frequent slang phrases, as well as ineorrect grammar, not realizing that carelessness in speech is as detrimental to their charms as untidy frocks or frizzied heads. Girls. if you want to appear attractive to masculine eves ne as careful of your conversation as you are of your appearance. Every one, with a little care, can speak correctly. Nothing detracts more from a girl's charm than Vulgar slang phrases and incorrect use of English, and when it takes so little trouble to remedy this fault it is strange to note how many girls are woefully Careless in this direction. Keep a close watch on your tongue if you want to be altogether charming-and try to c:iminate grammatical errors from your eonversation, for no man really approves of the girl who, through carelessness, is given to incessant slang and incorrect use of words. : THE LENGTHY CALLING HABIT. HE man who has the lengthy calling habit is, as a-rule, unpopular with T the gentle sex, for he is undenia bly a nuisance to the household, and | sometimes even to his lady love. Masculine fascinations are seldom so great that they can hold fair femininity in thrall from 8 to 12, and most girls have a deadly sickening of the man who invariably pays never-ending visits. The lover's suit is harmed rather than furthered by the lateness of his de- parture. If he leaves in the midst of au jnteresting conversation his welcome in the future is assured. for he has been entertaining and enlivening and has not bored his adored one by a long-drawn-out and uninteresting call. Nothing is more tiresome than entertaining a stupid visitor who has not the sense to say good-night at a reasonable hour and does not see that. conversation is un- doubtedly carried on with the sole purpose of killing time. Many a man has lost his sweetheart simply because he would not tear himself away before the crow of the cock. So if you value the love of some fair maid and want to be popular with gentlewomen don’t bore them to distraction by calls which last un- til the break of dawn. PARENTAL OBJECTIONS. HB course of true love never runs smooth, but the couple who have to face parental opposition consider love’s young dream something of a night- mare. Parents as a rule have the best interests of their child at heart, and he or she who refuses to abide by their decision will find out too late the folly of marrying in haste. It is not often that a mother refuses to consent to an engagement through personal selfishness, for her mother love always seeks the child’s happiness, and she will sacrifice her own love in order to insure the future welfare of her son or daughter, as the case may be. Of course, there are some who regard matri- mony as a sort of financial bargain, but fortunately these are few and far be- tween. If your romance has been blighted by parental objections, don’t con- sider yourself an ill-treated mortal,, but try to convince your family of the vir- tues of your lady love and wait until they consent to an engagement. If you are not old enough to decide for yourself—that is, over twenty-four or five, don’t be impetuous and rash and throw reason to the winds by rush- {ag into secret marriage. Consider the question seriously from one end and al! “ — “a sides, and after the first disappointment has worn away you will in all proba- bility be mighty thankful that parental objections have still kept you heart whole and fancy free. : 3% DON’T EXPECT TOO MUCH. HE girl who is always looking for favors is sure to be unhappy, for she has made the mistake of expecting too much from her friends. Don’t start in with the idea that the world owes you a living, for when you find that no one but yourself can bring success and happiness into the strug- gle for existence your disappointment Will be great and you will in all probabll- ity turn into a grumbling, complaining woman. Especially at Christmas time is it a mistake to expect too much from your friends, for by so doing you

court disappointment, for your expecttations are generelly greater than the ‘alization. The girl who expects too much considers herself abused and neg- > + ..cted over the supposed slights and heartlessness of others, and seldom ap- > Ls @eceived £25. That hat cost £14,795.

LITTLE LESSONS IN ENGLISH. | M. Ebberling Will Answer Your Questions. Hints on the Correct Use of Words, Written for the Post-Dispatch BY ARTHUR EBBERLING.

cate makes the following request: ‘I wish that you would advo- cate in your admirable lessons the use of all the words provided by the English language to express the meaning of those who use it. Very many of our writers are so addicted to the habit of clipping their sen- tences in imitation of spoken speech that a reader must be constantly on the ®@ert if he would gain anything from the perusal of their sentences.”’ Instead of favoring Elbert’s reaction I am in favor of ‘‘clipping’’ every un- necessary word and compelling the reader to be as alert as the auditor. The day of unnecessary words is fortunately passing. When I teil you that I sent a package -home my meaning is clear and I would not clarify it more by saying: I sent a messenger with a package to my home. Doubling the number of words without gain is folly. “If anyone wishes to speak on the subject before the house I wish that he would speak now,’’ says the formal chair- “Does anyone wish to speak?’ asks the chairman who expedites busi- ness, and he has Said all that is necessary. to is being gradually eliminated: that is being’ used sparingly by the best writers. Indeed is obsolete. Such phrases as “far be it from me,”’ ‘it might be well,’’ ‘‘let us consider’ are as archaic as “‘once upon a time.’’ However, notwithstanding and the excess of words their use made necessary belong to the language of our fathers. Let us aid the good work, not react against it. GEORGIE PROFFITT—I come means I am in the act of coming or I wil! come. I came means that in some past time I arrived. Will he come?—that is will he, at some future time, arrive. He has come means that he is in the act of arriving. You,may not say wilt he came? nor He has came, but you may say He came, meaning that at some past time he arrived. Thus you see come is used when the time of arrival is either the present moment or the future and came is used only when the time of arrival is past. ——-s man.

HOW TO ENJOY A CIGAR. Hints, From a Long Experience, for Male Readers of the Post- Dispatch.

No. 1. in a Post-Dispatch series, “How to Be Comfortable.” “How to Be Comfortable in Street Cars.” D ON’T smoke a cigar while walking or riding or driving or working. pipe is preferable at such times. If you will smoke a cigar while out of doors, burn up one that is big, tight-rolled and mild, so that when the wind compels you to inhale the smoke you will not carry heavy poison into yeur lungs. A loose-rolled cigar burns too fast for comfort in the open air. Take much care in lighting. See that the end of your cigar is evenly red all the way around before you throw away the match. ‘A cigar burns as it ig lighted. If imperfectly lighted, the fire will eat down one side, and char the other, entirely changing the flavor. Don't smoke cigarette, pipe or cigar immediately after eating. Allow a space of time to elapse, that the salivary glands, which the food has excited, may become quiescent. Do not smoke for at least two hours after breakfast. If smoking induces a flow of saliva that compels you to spit frequently, stop smoking. You cannot, at such a time enjoy a cigar, and are injuring your health. If smoking induces the slightest degree of intoxication, stop immedi- ately. It is the liver’s warning. Bite off the end of your cigar. If anyone gives you a cutter on Christ- mas, lose it early. Above all things, neveF use the cutters in cigar stores or one to which any other person has access. You would not use another person's toothbrush. Cutter blades are quickly covered with pernicious germs and have caused many sore mouths. Bite off the end and bite off a good bite, that the draft may be sufficient. Otherwise, smoking will lack comfort. Save your heavy, full-flavored cigars for after dinner, when you are at ease and have leisure. Smoke slowly, only endeavoring to keep your cigar burning evenly. Charred tobacco is an abomination. If your light goes out, cut away al' the charred tobacco with a clean knife before relighting. When you have found a brand, shape and size you like, stick to it. If it ceases to taste good, do not change to another brand until you Save “sworn oft’ for a few days. Then you will know whether the brand has .™eriorated or your digestion was impaired. THE ORIGIN OF “PARSON.” 4 ARSON” is from the Latin ‘‘persona,”’ a person, and the parson is the “persona ecclesiac,”’ or representative of the church. The forms “par- son” and “person” bear the same relation to each other as “clark” and “elerk,”” From being pronounced “parson,” the word has come to be so written Blackstone, in his Commentaries, says: ‘He is called ‘parson,’ persona, because by his person the church, which is an invisible body, is represented: and he is in himself a body corporate, in order to protect and defend the rights of the church which he represents.”’ apartment of sewer gas: Saturate unglazed paper.with a solution of one troy ounce of pure acetate of lead in eight fluid ounces of rainwater; let it partially dry; then expose in the room suspected of containing sewer gas.

THE IDEAL AGE FOR MARRIAGE. Shakespeare Advocated Fourteen, but Twenty-Five Is Advo- cated in the Following BY HELEN OLDFIELD.

If a prophet, did he refer to a Presi-

INCE Shakspeare spoke of fourteen, lacking “a fortnight and odd days,” as a “pretty age to marry,”’ blushing fifteen, sweet sixteen, eighteen and nineteen have all had their turn as the ideal age of heroines In song and story. Nowadays physiologists tell us that for her own sake and for the good of posterity no woman shou'd become a wife until she is 2, that no man ought to take a wife until he is 25; the ages of 2% for the woman, 3 for the man, be- ing preferable in order to insure a healthy maturity. Common law in most states of the Lnion forbids girls to marry under the age of 16, popular preju- dice raises the figure to 18, and women of 30 and over are the recognized belles in society in all centers of wealth and culture. During the last half century the age at which an unmarried womanin France may proclaim herself “une vieulle demoiselle’’ and go abroad unattended has advanced from that of 3% to 30. Which all goes to show that the marriage age progressively rises with the progress of civilization—a fact which uncoubtedly means something. There is said to be one hour tin the iife of a peach when It Is at its highest degree of perfection, and similarly in the life of almost every woman there is a longer or shorter period when she is at her fullest development of charm and affability, at her greatest capacity for making a perfect helpmeet for the man of her choice; an ideal wife and mother. Eminent physicians agree that to most women this blossoming comes at from 23 to 25, to some few a little sooner, to many others somewhat later. It © may be fairly taken for granted that if. with all her getting, a woman js ever going to get wisdom and understanding, she will do so by the time she arrives at this period of her life; at least, she will probably have gainéd some knowl- edge of men and the world, and not so easily be led away by a winning man- ner and a flattering tongue, Most persons who think about it will agree that the best time for both men and women to marry is when, having reached manhood and womanhood, they meet the one whom they love with all their heart and soul and strength, and who reciprocates that affection. But let both man and woman, especially the woman, be sure that they are really and truly in love before they take the momentous step which can never be retraced. As George Meredith has said: “What we chiefly want in the making of marriages ig more brain, more brain, O Lord!” =...

CREDITORS OF STENSLAND’S BANK ARE PAID IN FULL Receiver’s Report of Surplus Ex- nected to Result in Pardon of Bank President. CHICAGO, Dec. 11. ~The report of Re- ceiver James ~. Fetzer of the defunct Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, show- ing $173,935 excess of assets over liabill- ties, is expected to be followed by a re- newal of Paul O. Stensland’s application for a pardon. Stensland is serving a term of seven years in the Penitentiary for forgeries! which it was claimed had wrecked the bank. Stensland. who was president of the bank. maintained at the time of his capture in Tangier that he had invest- ed the money he had taken in Chicago realty, which, if conservatively han- died, he said, would return to the bank more than the amount taken. He prophesied that the bank’s_ creditors would be paid in full. The receiver has paid $4,356,866 in settlement of claims against the bank.
