F YOU 4on’t believe that the automobile is finally coming to us and our modest means, go to the Automobile Show, which opened last night at the Jai Alai Building. A few more years, and a few more financial flurries, and all o. us will spend Sun- @ay afternoon in the country making faces at the @istanced Sheriff out of the back enu of the tonneau. ‘We used to say that, while we had nothing, we @idn’t realize it until’ we went to the Automobile Show. We knew in a vague way that the people who get rich had upset us in the stampede; but we didn’t realize how they had walked on us and rubbed the mud in our hair until we stepped into the Automobile Show and were given the horse laugh by the Local Order of Moter-Owning and Mansion-Dwelling Mil- HMonaires. In those days we used to stray in at the front door and dash out wherever we found an open- ing. BUT THAT DAY HAS PASSED. But the day has passed when an Automobile Show was a device of the rich to make the rest of us fee! like 30 cents. The demonstrator of a year ago who wouldn’t answer a question unless you wore a $40 overcoat and smelled of gasoline, will tell you any- thing you want to know this ume. It used to be that when you went in the cars would josh you. “Pike the flatdwelier!’ a little $1500 runabout would exclaim. “Good-evening, Gold-Rags!"" an imported French car would cry, whereat all the cars along there would rock from side to side and lauzh itncontinently. ‘‘“How much do you suppose he makes a week?” a big limousine would ask. ‘O, about $30!" a car dcross the aisle would auswer, whereupon one of the big four-cylinders would say: “Run along. sonny; you couldn't buy a Jamp*’ Zounds, how that would tickle “Adpiphus ($20,000,000) and W.

cold proposition, right out of the icehouse. If you asked him the price of his machine he would look you over with a view to determining‘ whether you wanted to talk business, or if you had*thought of paying a dollar down and 50 cents a month. Satis- fying himself that you contemplated making the lat- ter proposition, he would look off somewhere disin- terestedly and say: ‘“‘The import duty on this ma- chine is $1200... Whereupon he would whirl on his heel and walk away, leaving you to guess that when. you dug up the duty he would talk to you about the price proper. But now! You wouldn’t know that demonstrator ncw. This is because just at this writing it is easier to sell the Philippines than it Is to sell an imported automobile. Very few firms have sold one since the President made his Nashville speeou. THE WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION. This works a transformation in the demonstrator with the exhibit. His temperature has gone up about 40 degrees. He greets you with double bows. He grabs you. by the arm, and whisks you around the machine, showing you its beauties, its economies, its exclusive improvements. He bounds into it, dragging you after him. He turns the steering wheel, claps his ORIGINAL SLOW

It runs on the Union boulevard line of the United Rail- ways.

The Union boulevard™trolley line has the Spanish system faded to a sickly yellow. It stands its pas- sengers up on the corners and leaves them there un-

foot on the brake, changes the gear, honks the horn and. explains this nickel-plated dingbat and_ that. Then he makes you do it all over after him, claps his hands, tells you how well you do it, and dances up and down until the knife and the bunch of keys in his pants pocket cause him absent-mindedly to feel and see if he really has some coin. Nor is this the extent of his courtesy. He wants you to ride! He piles you back into the car, the chains drop, the door es open, and you are off to the wide drives of Forest Park. ‘This is a feature the show did not have last winter. The few million- aires to whom the demonstrator paid any attention did not care to ride with anyone but their own chauf- feurs (who know the police auto at a mile and never let it get any nearer), and the rest of us were not at that time supposed to ride. We were supposed to get run over. ~ But the automobile fs not so artistic as it was, and ‘you dash into the park in this exhibit car, and go racing around on the broad drives. You may not be able to buy a go-cart, but if you are fairly well dressed and don’t look too honest, the demonstrater will take his chances on your circumstances, There is a line waiting for a ride when the car gets back to the Show. Most of these people live in apart- til they tear their transfers inte small fragments and walk home. At dinner time, almost any evening the Union beule- vard transfer corners look like one of Mrs. Mustain’s lonely parties. Introductions are unnecessary. The person who can say the most unkind things about Mr. Beggs’ United Railways is the hero or heroine ef the group. . At rare intervals, when the car does appear, it generally is found that most of the transfers have ex- pired. So the holders have to walk after all, unless they are too many or too big to be put off safely. The West End Business Men’s Association has ap- pointed a committee to ask Manager McCulloch to put another car, possibly two more, in service, on the line, and to eliminate the ‘“‘lay over’ at the southern end of the line, near Forest Park. Residents of the neighborhood which the line is supposed to serve say these requests are too radical. They favor asking something that there may ve a chance of getting, such as unlimited transfers and waiting rooms at transfer points. The conductor and motorman of the line also are displeased with the business men’s request. They Say life is dull enough now, without cutting out the penuchle game at the end of every trip, which is their chief source of enjoyment. They think it would be a good plan to Start a line of passenger autos or wagonettes to take people home who are weary of waiting for their car. They would not like to have another car put-.on, for then they COAC ments and flats, and are using their garages as coal- sheds this winter; but the demonstrator has orders from the home office right there in his jacket, and he isn’t the respecter of persons he used to be. “Good-by,”’ he says, taking leave of you, to fall on the next man’s neck; and he smiles grimly when he sees you doing the park a little later with another demonéttvator equally obsequious and eager, and equally reformed over last year, when millionaires crowded around the exhibits writing checks. GARAGES ARE COAL SHEDS NOW. The chest measure of the man of moderate income at the Auto Show has increased six inches, He is & man of importance. The auto manufacturer is making a machine to fit his pocketbook. The auto dealer takes off his hat to him. The demonstrator risks his life to show him how it Is done, and even the chauffeur euncurls his lips in his presence. A real whizz wagon awaits his erder and he can dwell in the odor of Portland place. There has been a general decline of about % cents in automobile prices since the last Show. Almost anyone who sifts his ashes can have some sort of machine now. There is a fine and dady little run- about down as low as $500. Touring cars have rt RUNS ON ductor a quarter hadn’t taken fn 20 cents during the day and couldn’t give him change. A man starting out to go anywhere never thinks of waiting for a Union car. It is only at the fag end of the day, when time is cheap and exertion grievous, that hope, triumphing over experience, causes men and women to wait for the car that hardly ever comes. GAME PLAYED AT DELMAR CROSSING. The most interesting, and tantalizing, place te play this waiting game is at the Delmar avenue crossing. There, almost any time .wese long winter evenings, you can find a group ef men and women gazing southward with all the earnestness of astronemers watching the transit of Mercury. They are leoking for a headlight. Presently they see one. Oh bliss! It ts their car! But no. At Union and McPherson it turns east and exposes to them a light row of windows tnat seem to grin at them. Then ft disappears. It was just a Mc- Pherson car, running for a couple of blocks over the Union track. Cancel the bliss! instead, Oh, Piffles! This happens two or three times. Then a headlight appears that has a sleepy, blinky look. “I'll bet thats our car,’’ says the sporty-looking man; ‘‘Not even money, but one to four.” The railroad clerk who didn’t succeed in getting his money down with the handbook man that after- noon takes him up. There is a little pool, and if the sporting man loses, he raises the odds in his fa-

could not play penuchle so long at the terminus. The other car would be along after awhile, and they would have to start off in the middle of the game, perhaps. There are reports that the Union line has, on some recent days, rtun more than one car at a time. A man who waited at Easton ave- nue for a northbound car says that he saw a green car going south, and that when a car came north one hour and 50 minutes later it was yellow. From this he reasons that it must have been another car. But this is not conclu- sive, say his doubting neigbors. There are two explanations offered for the phenomenon. One is

vor next time, or else bets against the car. This has been known to last, it is said, until the mounted squad rides by, changing watches. Old inhabitants of North- west St. Louls say the United Railways did not always own the Union line. They say a company known as the Suburban once owned it, and ran it as an adjunct te what is now the Hodilamont line. In those days, they say, several cars used to run en the line at one time, and the Hine was seriously con- sidered as a part of the city’s transportation faclil- ities. ~ Now, the people think they would prefer a mov- ing sidewalk. That would

beat the stationary side-

that the car was painted before returning. The oth- er has reference to the ef-

walk, which is all the t'nion line passenger’

fect of certain liquids sold near Easton and Union. So the doubters say they never will be convinced there are more than one car on the line until they may Personally chance, while riding en one car, to meet another. The .f. is. hasn't touched the Union line, though. There is just as much cash taken In by its conductor now as there ever was, for there never was enough te keep the cobwebs off the nickel register cord. A man whe got on the other night and offered the con- ordinarily gets his feet on now. A Cote Brilliante woman, who, like some other bril- liant woman, has never happened te become @ club woman, has handed out a suggestion that will inter- est the Wednesday Club. “Why not extend the Union Une through Forest Park to the Art Museum?” she says. “Then if the company put some cars on the line, we people whe live out here would get some service. If they didn't, there wouldn’t be any danger te children from cars in the park.”

touched $1000, and there are several makes between $1200 and $1500. Being lighter than they were, the new cars are not so hard on tires and machinery as auto- mobiles have been, so that repairs are going to be fewer. of the cvuntry have all been paved with asphalt, it may be ssuessed that the automobile is no longer the exclusive luxury it has been. THEN YOU COULD, COUNT MILLIONS. Judging by the great thfongs of comparatively poor people at the Automobile Show, and the absence of the milllonairées, rich people are beginning to realize that everybody is going to have them now, and are probably turning to something from which the rest of us are barred by the price. A year ago you could look over the floor and count about $10,000,000. Mr. Busch ($20,000,000), Mr. Scullin ($15,000,000) and Mr. Van Blarcom ($5,000,000)—total $40,000,000—stood around one of the fine foreign cars, comparing it with the 15 machines they possess in the aggregate. Over in the other aisles Gov. Francis ($19,- 000,000), Mr. Wells ($5,000,000) and Mrs. Goltra ($3,000,- 000)—tota! $18,000,000—examined a gear transmitter. Down the center aisle came Mr. Catlin ($12,000,000) and Mr. Davis ($2,000,000). Mr. Lemp ($2,000,000) chat- - looking at the exhibits to notice who is ‘one car over another?

Church Gleaner . tngton MANY REBUFFS Helen Dixon ma ts Suffering Keenly by Failure “to Get Work. eel CLUB WOMEN WORRIED Hunting Job for Her With Brass Band Proves a Failure. BLOOMINGTON, Ill, Dec. 14.—Helen Dixon, the repentant embezzler of the Organ funds of the Second Christian Society fund, is pa- tiently waiting for employment. The members of the Woman's Club, who at the suggestion of Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, undertook to help her are realizing that their brass band search for work for the girl has greatly hurt her chances. ‘The club women are worried and Miss Dixon is believed to be suffering more deeply since her release from prison than during the period of her incarcera- tion. When the Woman’g Club of Bloom- interested itself in her case, shortly before the expiration of her six months’ sentence, she was greatly com- forted by this display of sympathy and friendliness. After the doors of the Mc- '‘ Lean County Jail swung open ‘for her, | | . lead an honorable lIife, she was happy over the thought that she would be given an opportunity to and, perhaps, earn enough money ts pay back the = funds she had not accounted Worrted by Rebuffs. _- Unexpected rebuffs in the efforts of ' Dixon herself. the women’s clubs and also of Miss to secure employment have worried the young woman and her disappointment is extreme. Helen Dixon is no ordinary woman, however. She is a feminine Sphinx and betrays little or no emotion when ques- tioned concerning her experiences since ‘Jeaving the Jail or her hopes for the future. There is a certain amount of vague- mess connected with the proffers of em- ployment that makes investigation a , father delicate matter. The committee of the Woman’s Club Bay they secured a bona fide offer from Manager John E. Finney of the Provi- dence Insurance Co. to give her employ- ment as stenographer here. Was ready to go to work when she was ‘{nformed that owing to circumstances over which Mr. Finney had no control she could not enter the local offices, _ dat Ree she would be provided for at Miss Dixon ni ‘offices of the company. ~a Job in Chicago. She went to Chicago, accompanied by Mrs. Burkey, matron of the Jail, who this ie had been her constant companion since she was first taken into custody. cording to Miss Dixon, when she called Ac- at the offices of the insurance company, she was informed that Mr. Finney was. out of town and that nothing was known of any position for her. She returned to Bloomington on the first train and sought shelter behind the walls of the grim-appearing Jail. Following the expiration of her sen- tence Nov. 30 Miss Dixon was tendered @ room in the residence section of the Jail by Sheriff Moore and she accepted kindly intentioned action. This Week, she thought it best to leave the ‘ prison and secured a room with a friend “tn the western part of the city. Bhe is believed to be aimost penni- ’ Jess and her friends, it is feared, are few. She was supplied with money by Woman's Club Committee to pay ‘be expenses to Chicago and also to Maintain herself there for a time. s One Club Member Tired. According to report, the members of oi the Woman's Clun did not approve of Miss Dixon’s quick return to Bloom- ‘ngton. One member of the Woman's ~ Chup expressed herself radically con- @erning this phase of the case this 7 - Week, stating that as a result of her return in violation of the wishes of the ¢elub members, that they were through “with her and that she could no longer Jook to them for assistance. It is prob- able, however, that the club as a whole, - Would not indorse this declaration. Miss Dixon is receiving many letters ,@nd while she declines to make their contents public she only admits that gore of them offer positions. -_ A gleam of sunshine came to her this -.veek in an expression from Mrs. Maud }Ballington Booth, the “little mother” , the Volunteer Prison League. When - told how Miss Dixon had been treated _ by the insurance company, she com- +mented: Tt is an attitude that is in {ll accord with Christian spirit.

LF TS MUNYON'S GREAT GIFT His Remedies to Be Given Away Absolutely Free Ten Thousand Bottles of His Guaranteed Rheumatism Cure to Be Distributed From the Office of the St. Louis Republic, Republic Building,700 Olive St,

Distribution Begins Monday Morning at 8 O'Clock Everybody Invited We Ask Every Sufferer of Rheumatism to Call and Get a Free Bottle.

Prof. Munyon has requested The St. Republic to make another distribution guaranteed Rheumatism Cure. mode: teenth Gistribation Prof. Mu a om e St ul ept 760 Olive stron s Republic office. No. His proposition is certainly a fair one. He does not ask the people to invest one penny. On the contrary, he invites every- body to call for a free bottle. Even the greatest skeptics a admit that this:a fair abd generous oe tion. It is said that Prof. Munyon has made mil- lions of dollars by this liberal plan. His remedies are sold throughout the civilized world and he claims that his Rheumatism Cure has cured more rheumatism than all the doctors and medicines that have ever been compounded. From the testimonials that have been jub- lished from leading people of the world it would seem that his statement is fully justi- fied. He certainly must know that his rem- edies will do all that he claims for them or he would not distribute them free. Column after colu of have been published in e St. Louis papers from our well-known citizens who had been cured by his Rheumatism Cure. His rem- edies are guaranteed under the Pure food and Drug Law. and Prof. Munyon states that they tively contain no opium, cocaine, morphine or other deadening drugs. He claims that his henna tiom remedy relieves all rheumatic pains in from three to five hours and generally cures before one Louis of his his makes nyon has testimonials ‘ bottle has been taken. 3-X RHEUMATIC CURE Where our regular 25c Rheumatism remedy fails to cure we strongly recommend our 3-) Rheumatism Cure, which has been prepared expressly for chronic and obstinate cases.

Remember, this remedy contains no sal- ic¥lic acid, no opium, cocaine, morphing or other harmful erect. It is put up under the guarentee of the Pure Food and Drug Act—MUNYON. He states that fn every case where any one buys his remedies and they do not cure or give satisfaction, he will refund the money. y how ape! nothing would be fairer. Munyon assumes all the risk.

be no doubt about that. tw care much about it; antee fund, and, worst of all, it had no contri- oution for campaign purposes. Yet Kansas City lost and Chicago won. Why? There were many orators in the Kansas City Celegation and they had the flelad to themselves. There were Neff, Warner, Akins, Bartholdt and others, every one a loyal Missourfan and all carrying steam enough, it seemed, to walk away with The Hague conference, the Holy Synod of Russia or the balance of power in Furope, to say nothing of a mere itinerant po- litical convention. And here is where the trouble began and. end- ed. Kansas City was talked to death. When one Demosthenes took his seat, leaving a bad impression, another Cicero mounted the ros- trum and made matters worse. Finally a Pat- rick Henry in the person of Mr. Neff went to the rescue and when he had finished telling the brethren that no Republican except Theodore Roosevelt could carry Missouri, the committee made haste in a sort of panic to throw itself into the arms of Chicago and its rich young man. It tft a long way from Washington, D. C., to St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., but most of the delegation which urged the claims of the last-named city are now at home, having had excellent opportunities for meditation on the road. What are thefr conclusions and what are ours? Simply these: Missouri politically is bet- ter equipped to persuade and to reason with Democrats than with Republicans. Missouri Re- publicans evidently are not always understood by thetr fellowes elsewhere, and, as for the Dem- ocrats, they are impossible, of course, as plead- ers before a Republican body. It is understood that no effort was made to secure the Democratic National Convention for either Missouri city, but we feel quite con- fident that if the orators who appeared before the Republicans at Washington the other day had repeated their speeches fn the presence of irresistible. When Missouri next invades the Sanhedrin of }Republicanism asking favors it must forget all about its record as a Democratic State and, above all, it must be clever enough in its Re- fyublicanisrr, apologetic though {t be, to promise a fatr field and no favors. Chicago gets the convention cecause it refused to talk. It will now proceed to deal as it pleases with the delegates and their friends and with the booms of the various candidates. It did not attempt to nominate Joe Cannon in Washington. It will do its best from this time forward to accomplish that end in Juna. From these facts we are to conclude that Re- publicanism in a Republican State differs radi- cally from Republicanism in a Democratic State. In Missouri Republicans are self-conscious and explanatory. In [Illinois they are wise as serpents and harmless as doves-—-until] they find things to their liking, and then they grab everything in sight. ~~ = rw NO TURKEY RAFFLES FOR ST. LOUIS. As the men at Police Headquarters who have the morals and the immortal s-uls of 750,000 St. Louisans in their keeping have decided that tur- key raffies are ungodly, corrupting, demoralizing and altogether shameless, a decree has gone forth that henceforward and forever they shall not be. lhe turkey raffle is a device of Satan for the snar- ing of men and as such it must Lass. This means, of course, ihat much of the gayety of the Christmas season in this devoted town will be eclipsed. The lights may burn, the bones may rattle and there may be wassail galore in the happier regions beyond the outer walls, but in St. Louis he who would make merry must find di- version in some cther and more decorous way. Fortunately, the last Thursday of November is past and so the festive Thanksgiving day turkey shoot cannot be interfered with this year. Our past, at least, is secure. What dark and gloomy fate the future may have in store for us no man mey know. Sufficient unto the day is the hypocrisy thereof. Yet if turkey reffles must be dispensed with in the interest of true religion and the muniments of the law, to say nothing of real piety and genu- ine sobriety, shall the demoralizing grab bag be permitted to work destruction in our midst? A turkey raffle may be a devilish game of chance, but the mellow individual who partici- pates therein gets something for his money—a turkey perchance and certainly something that warms the cockles of his heart and inspires him to venture another throw, but who ever got any- thing out of a grab bag? The Christmas grab bag is well calculated to deprive a man of his money and his self-esteem as well. He pays for a grab, and, if he be a bachelor, he draws a baby’s rattle or a teething ring. He is despoiled and ridiculed, both, where- as the savant of the turkey raffle who fails to connect finds sympathy and good cheer at least. The puritanical gentlemen at Police Headquar- ters do not often overlook an opportunity to insert their long noses into places where they might easily be spared, but they have conspicuously neg- lected the case of the seductive and vicious grab jbag. What can tt mean? _— -_— NEWSBOYS AND AUTOMOBILISTS. | At the finish of a recent turkey dinner provided to Bewsboys by some generous patrons, a speaker, in the course of advice, cautioned the boys espe-

[cially to: be polite to people in automobiles, lest

* — ve, sll. wed — i} Hit: : THil: spe ah strain their appetites for dinners of which they are likely to be reminded. After they grow up they learn, too, that it is only flunkeyism which is in constant danger of being run over, and that flunkeyism falls far below politeness for its own sake, which is sourced tn self-respect. “Be polite and step lively” ig excellent advice to newsboys and boys of all sorts; though to it should be added, “But cometimes stand your ground.” Some newsboys grow up and learn to read the Neclaration of Independence and the Constitu- tion of the United States, and come to own and operate automobiles themselves, but they do not arrive at this condition by politely making way jor people who have no respect for human rights. No bright boy will sell out the right of way at all times for a good dinner, which transaction savors too much of selling his birthright for a mess of potage.

~-——_— = = _ = THE PRIVATE SECRETARY SOARS. Although George B. Cortelyou fs not the first man to get into trouble by an attempt to secure his employer’s job, his recent performances are wholly in. keeping with his entire career. He has been the beneficiary of a most extraordinary series of promotions, and why should he halt with one great height unscaled? Mr. Cortelyou was bequeathed to the Repub- lican party by Mr. Cleveland, who found him a stenographer in the ‘treasury Department. He became a highly efficient executive clerk at the White House and was retained by Mr. McKin- ley, who presently made him his secretary. He served in the same capacity under Mr. Roosevelt, who later appointed him Secretary of Commerce and Labor, in which position he made an ac- quaintance with the corporate interests of the country which proved useful to him when, in 104, he was elected to the chairmanship of the National Republican Committee. Since then Mr. Cortelyou has been Postmaster- General and Secretary of the Treasury, being one of the very few men to hold the last-named po- sition who had no acquaintance either with busi- ness or finance. Only 46 years of age, Mr. Cortel- you’s experience as a Cabinet cfucer enjoying the favor of Mr. Roosevelt has been almost as varied as his clerkships and private secretary- ships, and we need not wonder much that, finding no more worlds to conquer in the way of eppointive offices, he finally cast his eyes long- ingly upon the presidency. Here is where the servant awakened the ire of the master. Here is where we find proof that the relations heretofore existing between Presi- ent and Secretary were hardly .uose of equals. ‘rv. Cortelyou enterea the Cabinet representing nothing in politics, with no known views on any subject, and perhaps without a political bias.

Chicago did not appear tv care much about it; it had only one repre- sentative, a rich young man, and it had no guar- antee fund, and, worst of all, it had no contri- oution for campaign purposes. Yet Kansas City lost and Chicago won. Why? There were many orators in the Kansas City Celegation and they had the fleld to themselves. There were Neff, Warner, Akins, Bartholdt and others, every one a loyal Missourian and all carrying steam enough, it seemed, to walk away with The Hague conference, the Holy Synod of Russia or the balance of power in Furope, to say nothing of a mere itinerant po- litical convention. And here is where the trouble began and. end- ed. Kansas City was talked to death. When one Demosthenes took his seat, leaving a bad impression, another Cicero mounted the _ros- trum and made matters worse. Finally a Pat- rick Henry in the person of Mr. Neff went to the rescue and when he had finished telling the brethren that no Republican except Theodore Roosevelt could carry Missouri, the committee made haste in a sort of panic to throw itself into the arms of Chicago and its rich young man. It ts a long way from Washington, D. C., to St. Louls and Kansas City, Mo., but most of the delegation which urged the claims of the last-named city are now at home, having had excellent opportunities for meditation on the road. What are their conclusions and what are ours? Simply these: Missouri politically is bet- ter equipped to persuade and to reason with Democrats than with Republicans. Missouri Re- publicans evidently are not always understood by their fellows elsewhere, and, as for the Dem- ocrats, they are impossible, of course, as plead- ers before a Republican body. It is understood that no effort was made to secure the Democratic National Convention for either Missouri city, but we feel quite con- fident that if the orators who appeared before the Republicans at Washington the other day had repeated their speeches in the presence of the Democratic Committee, they would have been irresistible. When Missouri next invades the Sanhedrin of Republicanism asking favors it must forget all about its record as a Democratic State and, above all, it must be clever enough in its Re- 'publicanisr., apologetic though {t be, to promise a fair field and no favors. Chicago gets the convention cecause it refused to talk. It will now proceed to deal as it pleases with the delegates and their friends and with the booms of the various candidates. It did not attempt to nominate Joe Cannon in Washington. It will do its best from this time forward to accomplish that end in June. From these facts we are to conclude that Re- publicanism in a Republican State differs radi- cally from Republicanism in a Democratic State. In Missouri Republicans are self-conscious and explanatory. In Illinois they are wise as serpents and harmless as doves--unti) they find things to their liking, and then they grab everything in sight. | sh +. rr NO TURKEY RAFFLES FOR ST. LOUIS. As the men at Police Headquarters who have the morals and the immortal sculs of 750,000 St. Louisans in their keeping have decided that tur- key raffles are ungodly, corrupting, demoralizing and altogether shameless, a decree has gone forth that henceforward and forever they shall not be. lhe turkey raffie is a device of Satan for the snar- ing of men and as such it must Lass. This means, of course, that much of the gayety of the Christmas season in this devoted town will be eclipsed. The lights may burn, the bones may rattle and there may be wassail galore in the happier regions beyond the outer walls, but in St. Louis he who would make merry must find di- version in some other and more decorous way. Fortunately, the last Thursday of November is past and so the festive Thanksgiving day turkey ehoot cannot be interfered with this year. Our past, at least, is secure. What dark and gloomy fate the future may have in store for us no man nay know. Sufficient unto the day is the hypocrisy thereof. Yet if turkey reffles must be dispensed with in the interest of true religion and the muniments of the law, to say nothing of real piety and genu- ine sobriety, shall the demoralizing grab bag be permitted to work destruction in our midst? A turkey raffle may be a devilish game of chance, but the mellow individual who partici- pates therein gets something for his money—a turkey perchance and certainly something that warms the cockles of his heart and inspires him to venture another throw, but who ever got any- thing out of a grab bag? The Christmas grab bag is well calculated to deprive a man of his money and his self-esteem as well. He pays for a grab, and, if he be a bachelor, he draws a baby’s rattle or a teething ring. He is despoiled and ridiculed, both, where- an the savant of the turkey raffie who fails to connect finds sympathy and good cheer at least. The puritanical gentlemen at Police Headquar- ters do not often overlook an opportunity to insert their long noses into places where they might easily be spared, but they have conspicuously neg- lected the case of the seductive and vicious grab bag. What can ft mean? —_— = 4 *.F NEWSBOYS AND AUTOMOBILISTS. At the finish of a recent turkey dinner provided to Newsboys by some generous patrons, a speaker, in the course of advice, cautioned the boys espe- Clally to be polite to people in automobiles, lest

| by chance they offend someone who had given | them a good dinner. Like other good counsel, this may be taken with.

eT ay ar eS ree - oe ee aaa sae tora: 1, te te Reale Bini arent he _™/ ties aia: ieiis de Wiis Sentes anise , | lose their lives, One night recently a big touring f car ran down a 10-year-old at Fourteenth and Washington avenue. It bas not been long since a little chap with an armful of papers was killed by a motor on Olive street. When a boy is advised to be polite to the oc- cupants of these powerful engines, there may be some matter-of-fact observers who will inter- pret it harshly to mean, Step lively or take the consequences, which advice is not quite American, especially when coupled with a reminder of the good dinner that has been given him. When American boys grow old enough to think, they re- strain their appetites for dinners of which they are likely to be reminded. After they grow up they learn, too, that it is only flunkeyism which is in constant danger of being run over, and that flunkeyism falls far below politeness for its own sake, which is sourced in self-respect. “Be polite and step lively” ig excellent advice to newsboys and boys of all sorts; though to it should be added, “But cometimes een your ground.” Some hewnbeve grow up and learn to read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitu- tion of the United States, and come to own and operate automobiles themselves, but they do not arrive at this condition by politely making way ior people who have no respect for human rights. No bright boy will seli out the right of way at all times for a good dinner, which transaction savors too much of selling his birthright for a mess of potage. _—_— = ——s-— = THE PRIVATE SECRETARY SOARS. Although George B. Cortelyou fs not the first man to get into trouble by an attempt to secure his employer’s job, his recent performances are wholly in keeping with his entire career. He has been the beneficiary of a most extraordinary series of promotions, and why should he halt with one great height unscaled? Mr. Cortelyou was bequeathed to the Repub- lican party by Mr. Cleveland, who found him a stenographer in the ‘treasury Department. He became a highly efficient executive clerk at the White House and was retained by Mr. McKin- ley, who presently made him his secretary. He served in the same capacity under Mr. Roosevelt, who later appointed him Secretary of Commerce and Labor, in which position he made an ac- quaintance with the corporate interests. of the country which proved useful to him when, in 1£04, he was elected to the chairmanship of the National Republican Committee. Since then Mr. Cortelyou has been Postmaster- General and Secretary of the Treasury, being one of the very few men to hold the last-named po- eition who had no acquaintance either with busi- ness or finance. Only 45 years of age, Mr. Cortel- you’s experience as a Cabinet cfucer enjoying tne favor of Mr. Roosevelt has been almost as varied as his clerkships and private secretary- ships, and we need not wonder much that, finding no more worlds to conquer in the way of eppointive offices, he finally cast his eyes long- ingly upon the presidency. Here is where the servant awakéned the ire of the master. Here is where we find proof that the relations heretofore existing between Presi- ent and Secretary were hardly t.ose of equals. ‘'r. Cortelyou enterea the Cabinet representing nothing in politics, with no known views on any subject, and perhaps without a political bias. He vas a machine product of civil service. going for- ward in a way upon merit and at length being pitchforked into several commanding positions merely through the favor of an employer and friend. Under the circumstances, as a Cabinet officer, he was another man’s man—evidently still a clerk. When a subordinate, even as in this case an efficient one and of good character, develops am- bitions of his own which do not harmonize with the views of his superiors, he must expect to be set down in the hall. Mr. Roosevelt’s candidate for the presidency is not Cortelyou, but Taft. Mr. Roosevelt has served notice upon his clerk that there is to be no further promotion for him. Mr. Cortelyou is to tarry at Jericho until his beard be grown. All things considered, the people will agree with the President in this matter. The road to the White House does not always lie, but it ought to lie, along the paths frequented by the people themselves. A Hfe spent in subordinate, though useful, service in Washington is not the best preparatory school for the higher and weightier duties of the greatest elective’ office on earth. ee We should say that Mr. Roosevelt has dealt generously with his private secretary, perhaps too generously when the public interests at stake are taken into account, and that from now on until the close of this administration nothing will become Mr. Cortelyou so much as a contin- uation of his habitual industry, subserviency, secretiveness and silence. ~~ —_—_ rT —F- V MAKING THE HUSBAND PRESENTABLE. A subject of affectionate tyranny by his wife nd her female relatives thus testifies in his ap- plication for divorce: “I had nothing to say in that house. The women told me how I should dress.

Some people do not khow When they are well off.

enn een Settee aE a wee - would strike closest home would be that which self-re- spect gives. Giving loosens up 4 man’s nature. It not ynty makes him more comfortable to live with, but nore comfortable to be alive. The happiness selfish ness gives is a poor sort. There is a line which the roper gratification of the instinct of seif-preservation fought never to cross, and that is the line where the getting becomes the one alm. A good deal of what is called selfishness is not wrong, and will be practiced in spite of all that is said against selfishness. If a purpose of the Creator is shown anywhere, it is shown in the way He has wrought into the fabric of our inmost nature a blameless care for ourselves. Were it not for this ‘instinct, out of which selfishness grows, men could never gain anything to be unselfish with. But it is quite as clear that the man who cares for no one else but himself, or for nothing éise so much, is violating another Instinct, as deeply implanted, which continually tempts him out of him- self. He wrongs his own nature who doea little for others just'as truly as he hurts himee'f who acts a3 though suicida) use of possessions were praise- worthy. Of the two, the one who seeks h's own wil! has the least to show for it, and the one who goes to the other extreme will have most which other nen will value and envy. To s@in the Kind of self that i# admirable and pleasurable, men will find one ay the highest, and that is the Way of giving, the \abit of giving, the love of giving.

nough to see. But to see the principle just jong e would apply it, and then forget it in happy exercise, be to find the purest satisfactions given to human experience. This is a debt man owes himself, and in self-interest to evade it is to wrongs one's own soul, Thus to fulfill self-respect not an egotistic self. culture. Quite the contrary. it is enlargement, it connects a man with all the worth he aids, and identi- fies him with broadening good. The riches men may acquire have their inevitable limit. But the riches that giving brings take us out into the inexhaustible joys. Measure every-happiness life ever brings, and when you come to this happiness you feel a finer air and glow with a new health. The elation is of heaven. It marks the discovery of real life. One knows then how true is the saying: ‘He that findeth his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.” When Thou Makest a Feast. By Rev. Fayette L. Thompson, Paster of the Lindell Avenue Methodisee Church.

So ea ak ce ea f a: O be wealthy and refuse to give to the poor is to become a pariah among a people classed as Christian, and to deny that there is any tie that binds us to our fellow men. Christmas is the feast of the poor, consequently a feast of giving to the poor. The gift of Almighty God to the world was His Only Beloved Son, who came surrounded by all the evi- dences of poverty, the homeless and friendless babe of Bethlehem. In commemorating His coming we ought to remember the so far as we may, some of the joys of home and the comforts of friendship. | To give to the poor inspires the blessing of Heaven, especially at the Feast of Christmas, and is a duty homeless and friendless, and furnish to them, in _— aoe ete ween sere — oe ——— a i ttt ttt ae enews Will do well to heed His teachings. Because ‘‘ye certain permissions utmost have the poor always with you,’ were given now and then to pour upon one's own: but this permissiqn Was clearly an exception. Too often it becomes‘our rule and our ministry to the the exception, thus reversing the divine order. Life’s feasters usually call to their banquets their own Kind, who in turn again call them, but in these Christmas days, at least, we do well to listen—‘‘when thou makest a feast, call the poor, he maimed, the lame, the blind and thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee.’ That modern servant would surely suffer from nervous collapse whose master, with the dinner served, should direct him to “go out quickly inte the streets and lanes of the city and bring tn hither the poor.” Rich young men are said to have few sorrows; but it it because they have not heard a voice of one of their kind listened to In the long ago, saying: “Go, sell that thou hast and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me.” It is quite worth observ- ing that all true discipleship is a vital union between both “giving to the poor’‘and “following me.” To neglect either is to destroy both. In the vision of Sir Launfal, the transfigured leper who is none other than the strong Son of God; to whom at the first the knight had thrown gold, but later with whom he shares his crust, in “the voice that was calmer than silence” teaches him— Not what we give, but what we share— For the gift without the giver is bare; out love's p wmOT * -" zx -* p 4 a 4 es” 4 - 4 -* 4 a” 4 A ake SF és i . cori We save our time, money and Be strength by not giving, but- our soul _ = oozes out of us in such process of saving.” —Rev.

7 OLIDAY entertaining is usually H given over almost entirely to the ; school and college set. This year even more so than ever, in St. Louis. Indeed, plans for large balls and functions on a broad scale have been entirely eschewed this season, the financial depression having as much to do with it, or perhaps more, than any- | thing else. ‘Entertainments there are in plenty, but they are invariably of small and unpretentious order. Eschews Decorations. “Decorations?” asked a hostess not long agc, When some remark was made about her prospective afternoon tea, given for two young giris. “I am not going to have any decorations except a bunch of pink roses on the tea table. ‘Titis not only simplifies the scale of my enter- taipment, but I may tell you frankly. greatly lessens the expense of it. By so doing I can give two or perhaps ihree teas this winter, something that I want to do, since I owe many social ‘lebts. “! cannot possibly afford to indulge

in three elaborate affairs, each of which with all the accessories of flowers, ca- tercr, music and awnings at the front doer, amount to one hundred dollars, and probably more. Simple Functions Popular. “A simple little afternoon function, with tea, cakes made in the horse, sore hot buttered English mvffins from the corner bakery--that sounds very modest doesn’t it?—good tea, with plenty of thick cream, some especially nice and dainty little sandwiches of nuts or pi- mcntos, or Roquefort cheese chopped with pecans and spread on thin but- tered bread without any dressing, Is quite as enjoyable for by guests and as you see, costs infinitely less. “With a pretty girl or two to pour and a warm welcome, I think my little teas are going to be as pleasant as one could expect or wish for. “T can’t entertain at all this winter, except a few friends to uine once in awhile. when they will be served with our usual family dinner,’”’ said another Woman ‘vhose functisrs each year are always large and expensive. Does Maid’s Work, “Can't afford it, you see. In our big house a financial flurry means cutting down expenses everywhere. I have be- gun with my servants, and this fall, when we came back from the East, did not re-engage a second maid. So my own duties for upstairs work this winter are enough to keep me fully occupied every morning. I don’t find it a bac acheme, either, for the doctof tells me ‘that the reason I have indigestion so much is because I don’t walk and ex- ercise enough. “Now 1 am getting all the muscle work I need making five beds every morning, sweeping and dusting five rooms and putting the living rooms in order. , Never felt so well in my life, either, and I haye lost 15 pounds, more than I was ever able to work off in a gymnasius or at the swimming school.” “Perhaps it, may seem stingy, but my economies this year have been in my Christmas shopping,’’ said another wom- on on the same topic. “] have never shopped and bought presents with so much care. In former Seasons I have gone. downtown with a large check deposited to my credit and purchased gifts right and left, whatever struck my fancy. Then, when they came home, sorted them out, tied them up with tissue paper and pretty ribbons, inclosed my card and sent them around to friends Christmas morning in the machine. “This year the first thing I did was to cut down my list to only those friends that I really wished to remember with a gift. The larger list of acquaintances, for many of whom I had been accus- tomed to buy gloves, books, pitcure frames, drawings and similar impersonal ents, I tore up and dropped in the wastebssket. Discriminates in Presents. “Then I went over the revised list, thinking carefully about each friend, her tastes, her house, if she has one, her style, her possessions, and tried to remember if I had heard her men- tion a preference for any one thing. Of course it was easy enough if the friend happened to have a hobby for china or embroideries or linens or lace. I made a note to add to the collection. “Thus armed ‘I did my _ shopping, trying to use discrétion and also not lapse into extravagance. “Now, with some of my gifts ready _ to be expressed or mailed, and the rest tied up for delivery in the city, Ican confidently say that I have mever bought presents so satisfacto- rily to myself, and never spent so lit- tle mone: “I also feel as certain as one can be, that each gift will be welcome, for I have put thought into it and a genuine Christmas cheer.” Foolish Presents. “Wouldn't yeu greatly prefer net te receive any present at all than some- thing perfectly useless and foolish? in- quired a friend, as she dangled before my eyes an impossible something made 7 CO the holidays, you naturally try to get rid of the impossible fancy goods, for you can’t possibly use it yourself. So you inflict it on a friend halfway across the continent, and wish her joy tn the possession. Prefers Letters, “T would a thousand times rather that my Maine friend had sat down some evening before the twenty-fifth and written me a fine, long letter about some of our mutual school friends whom she has seen in Boston and Springfield since I have, and about her own fam- ily and winter work. I would have read and reread it with the greatest pleas- ure and loved her for it. “Now, with this,’’ pointing to the pink test tube again-—— “Well, what are you going to do with that?’ I asked. “Tf you will promise never to tell, I'll confide a secret,’’ she replied. “Every year I get lots of just such presents as this. I put them all into a box and keep it dark until next year. “Then, just before Christmas I sas out the box, look over my list of people that must be remembered and for whom I have not provided a personal and par- ticular gift, do up the articles in a: hur- ry and send them off.’’ “Don’t you ever make horrible mis- takes?” I asked. “Just suppose you sent your Maine friend that same test tube last year,’’ I suggested. But she raised her hands in horror, and laughingly shook her head. “I keep another list,” she said, with emphasis, ‘‘and that one has on it the present, who sent it and the/date. The only way to keep from getting mixed,”’ she finished, with another laugh. Miss Charlotte Rumbold is eagerly ex- pecting a holiday visit from her sister, Miss Caroline Rumbold, who has just landed in New York, after spending three years in Germany. Miss Rumbold is in Munich at the university, where she has just taken her degree of Ph. D., an unusual honor to be conferred 6n an American wom- an, and which means much hard study. She does not expect to return to Ger- many, and will probably make her home in St. Louis, at least for the coming year. 1 . Dinner parties at the St. Louis Wom- an’s Club Saturday evening brought a rather busy week socially to a close. The cafe was made bright and attrac- tive by the elaborate use of poiusettia blossoms and Christmas decorations. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Preetorius and Mr. and Mrs. John Schroers entertained Mr. and Mrs. Warren Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel G. Evans and Col. and Mrs. John Ockerson. Mrs. Preetorius was in French gray crepe with heavy lace; Mrs. Evans wore white lace: Mrs. 1Schroers had on white Renaissance lace and Mrs. Ockerson wore pale blue crepe. Mr. und Mrs. Everett Pattison were host and hostess to Mr. and Mrs. Percy Werner and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fiad. On Wednesday at 3 o'clock the enter- tainment Conimittee, of Which Mrs. Theodore Benolst, Mrs. Otto Mersonan and Mrs. T. K. Neidringhaus are mem- bers, have arranged for a delightful af- ternoon recital. Mr. Gylnin Miles will sing, and Mr. George Aid will give a short talk on art. Mr. Aid’s etchings will be on exhibition on that occasion and will remain for a fortnight, thus giving the members and their guests an opportunity to see them. On Thursday there will be a large bridge party for the club members which will be preceeded by luncheen. Miss Fierence Brandt was formally presented to fashionable society Sat- urday afternoon at 4 o'clock by her mether, Mrs. J. G. Brandt. Mrs. Mabe! Brandt Patterson received with her mother and sister. Miss Brandt is tall, pretty and blond, and her empire gown of white crepe with frills and insertions ef lace was particularly becoming. She carried a big bouquet of violets. Mrs. Brandt wore a white lace prin- cess robs over chiffon and silk, and Mrs. Patterson was in pale blue crepe and Irish lace. The dining room where the receiving party stood was decorated with Killar- ney roses. The library had quantities of long-stemmed American beauty roses in vases on the mantel, cases and window ledges. A flight ef gayly colored butterflies de- scending from the ceiling to the big round mound of pink roses that formed the centerpiece were one of the pretty jand novel decorations in the dining room queer flowers, tled up with dust-catch- ing loops of ribbon, and having a giass test tube for its main support.

Back behind the stamp windows the dispensers of the little government cour- fiers will have their hands full, also. Special arrangements will be made for registering packages more speedily than that process is ordinarily accomplished. While these preparations are going on down on the first floor of the Federal Building, there are two offices up in the dome that are doing their share toward helping Santa Claus circle the globe with his gifts. These are the offices of the Naval and Marine Corps recruiting sta- tions. From now until Christmas Lieut. White, in charge of the naval . office, and Capt. Snyder, in charge of the Ma- rine Corps station, and their corps of assistants, will be kept busy answer- ing scores of queries a week as to where some fond mother, sister or sweetheart can find a certain sailor boy. whose Christmas probably will bs passed at sea. Fifty or sixty boxes already have been etarted to meet the Pacific fleet at Norfolk marked, “‘Don’t open until Christmas.” Santa Claus and Uncle Sam will join hands at the Federa] Building for the Preparations to handle the enormous Christmas mailling business with all pos- sible expedition have been under wry for some time. Ninety or more substi- tutes in various departments of the Post- office, mostly from the ranks of sub- stitute carriers, will be pressed into ser- vice for the holiday rush. Big tables that will groan under the burden of gifts within a few days will be placed in the spacious Postoffice lob- by. Hands will be kept busy weigiing packages from early morning,.until far into the night, and equally busy lips will keep chattering away as the clerks inform the owners of the packages how many stamps Uncle Sam will require for the transpo@tation of each Christ- mas gift, Twenty of thirty ¢Glerks will he required for these tables. Postmaster Wyman will spend as much of his time as he can spare in seeing that Santa Claus is given right of way.

NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 14.—With all preparations for the Pacific cruise com- plete, the officers and men of the big Atlantic fleet today took advantage of their last day ashore until they shou'd reach the Isiand of Trinidad, the day before Christmas. The officers spent most of the day recovering from the farewell ball given in their honor by the army last night. The festivities continued until the busy . little steam launches needed no lanterns to fing their way out to the war boats.

‘NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—It was learned today that the executive heads of 6 railroads, including practically every system of importance in the United States east of the Mississippi, have de- cided not to grant demands made upon them some time ago by an association of all the unions of railway workers, with the exception of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. That organization always has main- tained an independent position in labor disvutes. The decision of the railway presidents will not be announced formally until after Dec. 2. On that date it is pro- posed to hold a conference in this city of the executive heads of the 65 affected roads to work out the details of their decision and phrase its announcement to the leaders of the unions. Tieup Was Threatened. When the unions sent their demands to the various railways they made it known that a refusal to grant them would be followed by a complete tie-up of every railroad in the eastern half of the coun- try. Should the labor unions insist upon all their demands, the most stuyerdous eenflict between labor and the rallroads the countriy has ever seen would, ft is feared, ensue.

BUT DIDN’T GET A SHOW Executive Reminded Him Tu- berculosis Was a Pardon Petition Joke. ee WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. —Any person boasting the friendship of Dr. Walter Stevens of Paris, Tex., would do well to refrain from asking that fearless ex- Rough Rider about a visit he paid to the White House. A year or so ago a clerk in the Post- office at Paris was caught extracting 60 cents from an envelope and for some months past he has languished in the Government Penitentiary at Atlanta. Hearing of several unsuccessful efforts to secure a pardon for the young man, Stevens decided to see what he could do. So he came to Washington and con- fided his intentions to a Texas member who has not worn out much shoe leath- er in going to and from the Presidential presence. “It’s 100 to 1 you are turned down,’ declared the member. ' But Paris is not far from Oklahdma and Stevens was full of the manner in which honors had been showered upon his comrades on that part of the map. So the Congressman,. convinced against his will, consented to accompany him to the Executive Mansion. ‘‘Mr. President,’’ he said, upon getting past Loeb, ‘“‘this is a former companion of yours in arms. My esteemed fellow citizen, sir, Dr. Stevens of Paris, Tex.” Recalling War Incidents. ‘Stevens! Stevens!’’ the President fairly shricked. ‘““‘Why Ste-e-e-evens, I am delighted, by golly, to see-e-e you.” ‘Do you remember the time we last met?’’ asked Stevens, “Indeed I do,” was the quick reply. “Tt was at Las Guasimas. Stevens, whatever became of that plucky fellow, Davis, who was shot through the body 10 times and came into camp unassist- ed?” Then the two former warriors’ fell to talking of old times in earnest and Stevens pictured his young friend back in Paris, starting life anew and profoundly thankful for the fighting of the battle of Las Guasimas. But in a few minutes fond recollections had to take a back seat for a dele- gation of westerners who had called to see the President by appointment in a sight-seeing automobile, was ushered in. He had shaken the hands of three when another comrade’s face flitted through his mind. “Just a minute, please,’’ Mr. Roose- velt said th the fourth man in line, and wheeling half around, called out: “By the way, Stevens, have you ever heard what became of that fel- low who still wanted to shoot though he was so badly wounded that he could not hold up his head when he was being carried off the field on a litter?” Congressman Backs Rough Rider. ‘You win in a walk,” whispered the Congressman. The /doctor’s face beamcd. When the last of the west- ernerer had departed, the President returned: to the Texans and renewed his talk of war and warriors, ‘Mr. President,” Stevens ventured to say, “I have a young friend now serving a term in the Penitentiary at Atlanta fer stealing four bits from an envelope while employed as a clerk in tle Postoffice in my city and I have here a petition’— “Petition! Petition!” exclaimed the Chief Magistrate. “Yes, a petition, and’— “Why, my dear Stevens, I can get up.a petition to have you made Prest- dent and have me hanged.” “Possibly so,” answered the Texan, ‘but this is that poor fellow’s first of- fense, and’'’—— “First offense. fellow. Why, by golly, stealing two years to knowledge.”’ . “Well, Mr. President, * don’t know what you know, but that boy is dying with tuberculosis and” ‘‘Tyuberculosis,”” hissed the presiden- tial voice. “‘Why, don’t you know that every man who is serving time for rob- bing the Government is suffering from tuberculosis?" “But, Mr. President, I know what this fellow’s condition is, and if you will sign your name to”’-—— “Sign my name! Why, my signature has the same effect on a man’s health that the King’s name has on the foot evil. Good day, gentlemen.” The Texans strolled silently down the asphalt walk to the avenue.

SAYS TEACHER SLAPPED WITH TIGRESS RAGE McAdow Charges Also That Miss Wilder Showed “‘Ama- zonian Strength.”

MAKES WRITTEN REPORT

Asserts ‘Glasses Were Knocked Ten Feet; She Denies She Struck Him.

When Miss Clara Wilder, principal of three public schools in Maplewood, appears before the St. Louis County School Board to answer charges pre- ferred by J. L. McAdow, president of the St. Louis School Furnishing Co., who says she slapped him, she will have to be ready to show that she doesnt look like an enraged tigress and that she hasn’t got Amazonian strength. Mr. McAdow feels very much ag- grieved. In his official report to James Sutton, president of the board, he writes: ‘Pursuant to order, I took a man and went to the Valley School Nov. 12 to put up the blackboard, and in the midst of the work a woman came down the stairs looking like an enraged tigress and ordered us to get out. “TI tnformed her we were employed to do the work, and that if she wanted us out she snould call an officer. She said she was an Officer, and shoved the blackboard toward the front door with Amazonian strength, jamming it against the scholars’ desks and damaging it, in spite of our efforts. Fortunately for her, she was protected by her sex. Glasses Flew 10 Feet. “She struck me in the face _ three times, knocking my eyeglasses 10 feet. She acted in an unladylike and. insult- ing manner. ‘My man will make affidavits to the facts as herein stated.”’ Accompanying the report is a state- ment by Joseph Telgkamp, a workman, who was with McAdow when the en- counter occurred and who corroborates McAdow’s statement. Miss Wilder emphatically denied yes- terday that she slapped McAdow and says she is opposed to corporal punish- ment. Misa Wilder's Statement, Miss Wilder told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that on the morning of Nov. 12 she was surprised to hear an unusual and unwonted resounding of saws and hammers re-echoing throughout the school rooms where the young Maple- wood idea was busily trying to learn its lessons. Complaints were made to her by teach- ers of the extraordinary noise which jarred the nerves and plastering of the entire building. In righteous and justi- flable agitation, Miss Wilder says, she cescended the stairs for the purpose of investigating the source of the commo- tien, and when she was within two steps of the bottom of the stairs that she said te Mr. McAdow, whom she recognized immediately, that the noise was disturb- ing the school and that it must cease. ““Who are you?’”’ Miss Wilder says McAdow demanded of her in a most dis- courteous manner. “I happen to be In charge here,’’ Miss Wilder answered, and proceeded to give instructions as to the removal of the carpenter shop from the building. “I was in no manner opposed to the work being done at the proper time and in the proper manner,’’ Miss Wilder said, ‘“‘but I clearly recognized my duty to protect the school from such deafen- ing nolse. “A desk had been moved across the hall, directly in the way of the line of march when the children pass down the Stairs, the sliding doors had been thrown open and the piano stool had been car- ried from the piano, all of which was wholly unnecessary, as the work of placing the blackboard had\been planned previously and one particular part of the hall was to be used for the new room. Denies She Slapped. * “Because Mr. McAdow would not re- move his work as I suggested, I lifted the blackboard, which is paper, and shoved it toward the door. As I did so an ornament which I wear on a chain around my neck caught on Mr. Mc- Adow’'s sleeve and he told me he would bring a charge against me for assault. “Indeed, I did not ‘slap’ the man, He did not have his glasses on when I went downstairs, and he did not have them on when he was at work in the yard. I certainly did not knock them ‘10 feet away.’ “I did nothing except what I knew to be my duty toward the school in stopping the noise, and I shall abide by whatever action the board shall take. After the encounter which resulted tn the removal of the work to the yard. the blackboard was placed on the wal! in 20 minutes and the noise was not re- sumed. The fncident was insignificant and the charge that I ‘slapped’ Mr. Mce- Adow is ridiculous.”’ Miss Wilder says that she was not opposed to the new room being fitte4 ‘}up for the teacher who had been unable to teach because there was no room for her use, but that she approved the ar- rangement. Her only objection was to the nofse. ‘

WOMAN SEIZES BOYS Wr AIDED USE SNATCHER}

Captures Two Companions of Thief in a Department Store. i cnaenaetiunenematiiliemdiaemee eee Mrs. Hattie Alexander, 1351 Bayard }: avenue, captured two or three boys, one of whom opened her hand-satchel and stole 9 from her in an aisle of the May Co.'s department store while it was crowded with Christmas shoppers last night. The boy who took the money got away and the two who were caught re- fused to “snitch” on their “‘pal.”’ Mrs. Alexander had been in the store only a short time when she became aware that she was being “jostled” by two boys. One of them was on either side of her and they kept so close to her that they kept her arms pinioned to her sides. Opens Her Hand Satchel. A third boy was just in front of her. Suddenly he wheeled about and opened her hand-satchel. The boys at either side crowded her so closely that she could not do any- thing to stop the boy in front when he put his hand into her satchel and took four $1 bills from it. As soon as he had the money the boy darted into the thrormg of shoppers and was lost to view. Mrs. Alexander stepped forward as though she meant to pursue him. But she didn't. She turned quickly and grabbed the boys who had jostled her. She held them until employes of the store called Patrolman Brennan, who arrested them. At the station they said they were Louis Stotts, Third and Convent streets, and Victor Hagedorn, 1620 South Bight- eenth street. Each gave his age as 15. The police say they have served sév- eral terms in the Industrial School. Ef- forts to induce them to reveal the name of their companion were futile. They were locked up at the Juvenile Court de- tention room pending application for warrants. LEADERS AGREE TO REMOVE TIME LIMIT ON MILITIAS Gen.

ANOTHER WON HER HUSBAND, WOMAN SATS Wife, Sued, Declares Sambor- sky Had Companion on Return From Hungary.

If Andrew Samborsky of #27 Blaine avenue had not gone to the balloon races in October he might not now be under the necessity of defending him- self against a warrant which was issued yesterday at the instance of his wife, Mrs. Selma Samborsky, of 4352 Hunt av- enue. Some friends of Mrs. Samborsky saw him at the races with another woman. They told his wife about it. She did a little detective work and discovered that her husband was living on Blaine ave- nue and that the other woman was liv- ing at the same house. She learned also.that the other woman represented herself to the neighbors as the wife of Samborsky. Then she got the war- rant. Returned to Hungary. Samborsky and n.. wife separated in October, 1906. He made a journey back to Hungary. He returned to St. Louls the following April, and, according to Mrs. Samborsky, the other woman came at the same time. Gamborsky says the neighbors told her that Annie had told them of ardent court paid to her for five days by Samborsky in Hungary, which culmi- nated in their marriage. Samborsky is suing Mrs. Samborsky for divorce in Judge Foster’s court on of indignities. Through her at- torney, William McNamee, she has filed a cross bill, alleging that he called her names, deserted her and that he took from a safe deposit box $1500 to which abe is entitied. . y tried to get a divorce in Judge McDonald's court in May, but his suit was dismissed.

WATERS-PItht CO, WINS FIG AGAINST TEXAS —

Spectal to the Post-Dispatcn. AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 14.—The Waters- Pierce Oil Ce. gained a temporary vic- tory here this evening in the anti-trust litigation instituted by the State. The State Supreme Court granted a motion by the company’s attorneys recalling the mandate issued by the Court. of Civil Appeals, directing State Receiver Eckhardt to take charge ef the ofl com- pany’s property. The Supreme Court assumed jurisdic- tion of the case in this form over pro- tests of the State attorneys. As tho .«.ederal Circuit Court of Ap- peals at New Orleans has issued a man- date ordering the State receiver to re- linquish control ef the property, to- day's action of the State Supreme Court estops the State receiver from taking charge. The company now is in full possession of its property and will be unless the Supreme Court grants a mo- tion filed this evening by the State, that the court order State Receiver Eck- hardt to take charge.

RUSSIAN WOM SENT TO Mh BY CZAR S COURT Social Democrats Sentenced Include Noblemen and Duma Members.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 14.—Sentence was pronounced this afternoon upon the Social Democratic members of _ the lower house whose arrest was the in- direct cause ‘of the dissolution of the second duma. The punishment inflicted was unexpectedly heavy. Eight Deputies, including Annikin, An- nismoff, Dzhaparidze and Prince Tzare- eli, are condemned to five years’ labor in the mines and subsequent. deporta- tion’ to Siberia; nine others, including Batasheff, Bielouseoff and Kirtenko, are sent to the mines for four years and then will be deported. Ten Deputies are sent into perpetual exile in Siberia. Women Are Senicenced. The leader of the military organiza- tion, Sapanikek, and two women, Mme. Merozva and Mme. Subbotina, shared the heaviest sentence—five years in the mines and deportation—while six sol- diers who were accused of agitating among their comrades are given four years in the mines and deportation. Ten Deputies, who succeeded in prov- ing that they were not connected with the Socialist organization, were ac- quitted. Among the men condemned are three noblemen. Their senterftes must ve approved by the Emperor. The Deputies were accused of form- ing an organization, the aims of which were the overthrow of the existing Gov- ernment and the Constitution.

LAW TO RELIEVE "PANIC FACES A RUUGH PASSAGE a wr

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—It can be stated on the highest authority that if the sub-committee of the House Committee on Banking and Currency now dealing with the subject can havé its way, no effort will be made by Congress to adopt legislation rem- odtat of the present financial condi- tion All the energies of that committee will be directed toward the framing and passage of laws more general in character and which will be intended to preclude shrinkage of the circu- lation, entailing widespread finan- Cial distress. Assurance of elasticity by the adoption of the credit currency System may be recommended, or some different measure toward the same end may eventually be decid- ed upon, but in any event no legisla- tion will be suggested by the com- mittee for the correction of the pres- ent conditions. The sub-committee members held a four-hour conference today with their chairman, Representative Fowler of New Jersey at which the bill the sub- committee has undertaken to draft was earyestly discussed, but no de- cision as to its precise character and scope was reached. It is not likely the sub-committee will be ready to report on the bill until after the hol- idays. Men high in the world of finance will be given an opportunity to ap- pear before the committee to present their views on the proposed measure, Much time will be spent in both the House and Senate in considering the bill when reported and it is the oe of the members of the Banking ( Som- mittee that the finances of the coun- try will have so adjusted themselves by that time that there will be no necessity for legislation looking to the correction of present conditions.

A general cessation of traffic will occur east of Denver unless the big storm stops within a few hours.

HOWE'S ACTON | STICKS 10 TAFT DESPITE WYMAN Opposing Roosevelt’s Candidate Because of Appointment. Not

TROUBLES AT HOME

Men Who Supported the Post- master Fighting for Control.

The threat that Missouri’s delegation te the next National Republican Con- vention would be thrown against Roose- velt, or his candidate for the presidency, if he insisted on reappointing Postmaster Wyman, will not be carried out, accord- | ing to Chairman Jeptha D. Howe of the Republican City Central Committee. It was announced at Washington yes- terday that Mr. Wyman’s name will be sent to the Senate tomorrow by the President. Mr. Wyman was opposed net only by Chairman Howe and the local party organization, but by the State organization, all three St. Louis congressmen and the Republican United States Senator from Missouri. The only rarty body favoring Wyman was the Twenty-eighth Ward Republican Club, of which Louis P. Aloe is a leader. They Have Uther Troubles. It happens that Mr. Howe and many of his friends who united in opposing Wyman now have a 4Ilife-and-death struggle on for State supremacy with another Republican faction, headed by Thomas K. Niedringhaus.. Mr. Niedring- haus wants to be national committee- man, while Hewe and his friends are credited with favoring Charles Nagel. “The whole fight is not what it is represented to be,’”’ Howe told a Post- Dispatch reporter last night. “It is a fight te capture the delegation from Missouri to the national convention. Mr. Wyman’s prospective reappointment will have nothing te do with it. Not Going to Quit Taft. “If Roosevelt were again a candidate it might be different. But he is for Mr. Taft. So are we. We are not going to change our position and our candi- date just because of Mr. Wyman’s ap- pointment. We are going to try te send a Taft delegation from Missouri. “It is Mr. Niedringhaus and his friends who are not for Taft. They are for somebody else, I think it’s Hughes. But whoever they are for, they want to contrel the delegation. “Aloe and his friends, who were for Wyman, are not for Taft, the friend of the President. They are lined up with Nedringhaus. The anti-Taft crowd in- cludes besides Niedringhaus, all the old Kerens men and Ziegenhein men and Circuit Attorney Sager and Kratz and Owen and McCoy. Clash Expected Next Week, “But I am for Taft and so are my friends, and we are going to try te win in the primaries.’’ The date for the Republican State primary will be set probably at the meeting of the State Committee to be held in St. Louis Tuesday. The City Central Cemmittee meets Wednesday night and it is believed the Niedring- haus forces may try to roll Howe from }the chairmanship then. The feeling wetween the Howe and Niedringhaus factions seems to be grow- ing bitter and the decision of the Presi- dent to reappoint Wyman has added to the bitterness of the Howe side.

Dr. Newsom braved a terrific storm of ‘@ensure and threatenings for about a week and finally brought an end of the controversy between himself and the husbands, fathers and brothers of the Fortnightly Club members by joining Rev.

After drills had bored beneath the river’s bed threugh strata that had been making for 2000 years, and blunted themselves on bedrock of a glacial period, Mod- jeska tied these holes te a note book by his base lines. Some of the holes became pin points an the engineer’s chart of the river bot- tom. Each pin point meant te him the very center ef a solid foundation the Grills had found for the concrete piers en which the steel superstructure will rest. Modjeska pulled his drills out of the water, undismayed by the hurrying cur- rent that left no trace of where the searching steel had been. The loca- tions of the holes in the river bed, thanks to triangulation measurment af- forded by the base lines, were in his note beok. He put the book into his pocket, went back to Chicage, and, leck- ing the deor to an office den, built a vridge of figures. As far as he was cen- cerned, the bridge for the McKinley system already spanned the Mississippi when he opened the door. Centuries Undone in Month, He knew then, te an inch, how far the riers or legs of his bridge must sink beneath the river bed to selid rock. T'wenty borings, lasting two months, had shown him that fermatiens it had taken centuries to depesit he ceuld pass through in less than one menth. The longest bering, for plier D, was 74 feet below the river bettem. The drill went threugh ten feet of surface quicksand and mud, 30 feet of fine sand, 20 feet ef cearse sand a layer of gravel capping a limestone bedrock. The drill then plunged inte a crevasse cv fissure in the bedrock, to a depth of 10 feet. Counting the heel of concrete that must be tamped into the fissure, this pier will rise 140: feet frem bed- reck, with 65 feet more of steel to the top ef the span. Trunks of subterranean trees were struck by ether drills at a cepth of % ang 35 feet below the bed. The steel could net penetrate the spongy wood and the borings were abandened. Modjeska returned to the [Illinois shore, at Venice, on Dec. 8 He brought out the notebook, set up his transit, took a sight of his base line, turned the telescope on a base line sight on the Missouri shore, got his angle across the water and found the hole In the river that meant pier 3, one of the big quartet of legs that will carry the bridge. A rectangular wooden caisson was launched into the water. It was a box 70.) = ofeet % feet deep. At was an air chamber, “man high,’’ which is to say, 7 feet.. Two circular openings in the roof of the chamber were meant for alr shaft tubes, leading to the surface of the river. Calesons Are Very Light. The feature of these caissong which differs from any others ever used in the bettem The bridge will have three spans, roadway will be 100 feet above the surface of the water when the river is at leng by 2 feet wide and. Work on the McKinley bridge, which will span the Mississippi River at the foot of Ferry street, midway between the Eads and Merchants’ bridges, is progressing so rapidly that Chief Engineer Ralph Modjeska feels confident in predicting that the $3,000,000 steel and stone structure will be thrown open for trolley and wagon trafic early in the spring of 1999. first pier now rests firmly on the river’s bed and a solid foundation of concrete The caisson for the the center one 700 feet long and its Guided by two base lines on either bank of the river;-Modjeska is rearing instrument on shore. There it was an- chered behind clumps of piling forming a fiying wedge, with the arrow-point up stream. The wedge is for the protec- tien of the caisson from ice flees and drift wood in the spring. Steel cables | attached to the caisson and piling were manipulated until a sight at the very center of the square box was adjudged by the transit on shore, to be directly over the hole in the river bed. The caisson was then held imovable by cable anchorage to another clump of piling in the rear. By a system of cross-cable anchorages, it was finally bound to the piling in a fixed position. The sides ef the caisson are being built up as it sinks from the constantly added weight of concrete. The tubing of the air shafts is carried upward at the ‘same time. When the caisson set- tles into the mud at the river bottom, it will be again adjusted by the instru- ment. The water is pumped from the air chamber at the bottom of the cais- son, workmen enter the chamber and be- gin removing the various strata through which it is sinking by reason of the concrete that is being packed around the air shafts leading up through the caisson to the surface. When bedrock is reached, the stone surface is cleaned and holes are drilled for the purpose of :eveling the fleor by blasting. The concussion from the blast is deadened by the air pressure. Work- men begin laying concrete on the floor and continue until they are crowded back into the air shaft the process be- ing carried on up the shaft, until nearly the entire caisson, both inside the air chamber and shafts and between the four walls and the shafts, is a solid mass of hardening stone, which forms the base of the pier. Much Limestone Required, Four hundred carloads ef Indiana limestone will be used in the construc- tion of the stone plers to be built on the concrete bases. The stone pliers face up and down stream with ends fashioned like the prow of an Atlantic liner, Offering small resistance to the rush and swirl of the current. The steel superstructure rests on the stone piers. The weight of each of the four main piers will be 7000 tons. Pier 4, the most easterly of the four, must be sunk 4 feet below the river bed, owing to the dip of the formation at that point. Pier 3 will go down 23 feet below the bed; pier 2 will go # feet; pier 1, 28 feet, and pier C, on the Missouri side, 3% feet, owing to a fault in the strata. Five other piers to the east and west of the bridge ends will be sunk to bedrock. The weight of the three spans is esti- mated at 3000 tons. Each span is inde- pendent of the other one. A floor end of each span ts anchored firmly in the top of a pier; the other end is not se- cured, but rotates on a new system ef rollers designed by Mr. Modjeska In- stead of shot or ball rollers, which pre- sent a smaller convex surface for the bridge to rest upon, he will introduce one that nearly resembles the cross sec- tion of o standard T-rail, the upper and lower parts being symmetrical but bev- eled in order to permit the weight of the bridge to expand or contract four or five inches easily under natural condi- tions of heat and cold. These rollers in a gr oa which is sunk ante are set Depends | to the top cords is 65 feet. At high water the floor of the spans will clear the water by 60 feet. This distance to the water level will be 88 feet at the average low stage of the river. At low water the bridge will stand 103 feet above the river to the top of the spkns. Will Support Big Load, The bridge has been designed to sup- port a weight ef 5000 peunds to lineal feet of tracks, of which there will be two. The structure will support a con- centrated load of 50,000 peunds, an aver- age locomotive weight. Technically, the spans are khown as the “through bridge”’ in distinction to the “deck bridges,’”” which are the smaller spans carrying the approaches to the main bridge. The main bridge, that portion which actually crossed the river, is 2515 feet long, being carried over a stretch of wa- ter 2300 feet wide. The entire structure, including its approaches, will be 8000 feet in length, the St. Louis approach alene measuring 3190 feet. It leaves the city grade at Ninth street, being ele- vated on steel stilts which afford an everhead crossing at Broadway and at Hall and Salisbury streets, where the approach curves to the northeast to escape a pewer house of the street car company. The incline up to this point will be ene and three-quarter feet to the mile. ee ~ DeniR noe ora Per D. ocr 18, /90f, [Men BYVAL YARD, BFICG 8S TORE Room, From the interesection of Hall and Salisbury streets the approach becomes level, making an overhead crossing’ of the terminal grounds and the Burling- ten tracks to a point 600 feet east of the Burlington, where it strikes the main bridge. A grade of one and three- quarter feet is maintained to the cen- ter span, which is level. The same grades are repeated on the other side. Beginning at Broadway the course of tre bridge and approaches is a straight line to a point 700 feet from the river bank on the Illinois side, where it turns nertheast to Main street, Venice, strik- ing the city grade at that intersec- tion. Is Light, Strong Structure. The McKinley bridge, according to the enginneers, will be lighter than the Eads bridge and stronger than the Merchants’ bridge. The basic principle of censtruction was to get the great- est strength and durability out of the least expenditure; in other werds, te make it an economic structure. An idea of the traffic demands to be made upon it is obtained from the previsiens of the franchise, which ex- acts the passing of a train every half hour, although the officials say that’ if the cenditions call for a car every five minutes, that schdule will be main- tained. A feature ef the construction are the Re EE arn sa cantilever roadways, which will be swung from the side trusses over the river, giving a suspended way for wag- ons and pedestrians. The width of the swinging ways will be 15 feet, mak- ing a total bridge width of 60 feet, with the 30 feet alloted to the trackage be- tween the cords of the spans. Another feature of constructien will be the concrete piling for the founda- tions of the approaches. A _ derrick operating an air-cushion hammer win drive the stone piles. The effect ef the blow is the same as that when a high- wayman stuns his victim with a sand- bag. None of the force of the blow is lost and the resistance which the ob- ject might offer if it .came into coen- tact with a hard hammer is missing. The result is that the pile is net shat- tered. Every piece of steel used in the structure is inspected by experts in the employ of the McKinley System as the material is passing through the various stages of manufacture, A piece that betrays the least flaw is rejected. Bridge disasters and the expensive consequences to responsible corporations deemed exact, absolute knowledge of perfection before ma- terial is placed in the structure. F. EB. Washburn, resident engineer, with headquarters at Hall and Salis- bury streets, is in complete charge of the construction of the bridge.

LOUIS One License for Every 500 inhabitants. REVISING CITY LAWS Meter Inspector to Protect Citizens Among Improve- ments Suggested. Attorney R. V. Gustin, who is revising the city ordinances of East St. Louis, has prepared an ordinance prohibiting the licensing of new saloons until the present number so diminish that there will be only one saloon for each 500 in- hab‘tants, East St.. Louis has now 330 galoons, and a population of 56,600. This gives it one saloon for each 170 residents. Uncer the new provision it would have on'y 112 saloons. The ordinance provides that sa- loons having a license at the time of the passage of the ordinance may renew their licenses, but the permits cannot be transferred to new owners. In city blocks where two-thirds of the buildings are residences, a_ petition signed y a majority of the residents of the block must accompany the V5 gin tion for a license. In addition, the ap- Plicant must furnish a certificate of g00d moral character, a bond to the city for $1000 and a State bond for $30.0. he owners of saloons now established are in favor of the new ordinance. Revision Nearly Finished. The ordinance revision is almost com- plete, and this week Mayor Cook, City Attorney Joyce, Special Counsel Keefe and Mr. Gustin will meet to complete minor details. It is thought-the new set of ordinances can be completed for presentation to the City Counsel within two weeks. The ordinances have not been revised Since 188, when the population was about 12,000. The city has outgrown the es ture ordinance book and the City Ounci!l has appropriated $1000 for a new book of rules. In the new code a meter inspector is ag gn for. Any resident believing that is not getting a fair deal from his as, water or electricity meter may ave it inspected, and if it is found in- accurate the company owning it will be required to pay the inspection fee of $2.50. If it is running correctly, the per- son demanding the inspection must pay the fee. No excavations will be allowed in the streets for more than two blocks at one time. The houses in East St. Louis wil! also have to be numbered. Any owner who allows his house to remain number- less will be subject to a fine of $5 for each 30 days. Gaudy canvas signs covering the front of places of business and part of the Street must go. Rills and posters wil! be allowed only on licensed bill boards. Obscene or suggestive posters will sub- ject the OWner to a fine. | »’ New Pheater Opens Monday. Phenomenal Kraus’ bit .

Sa-ay! They couldn’t be younger and pretiier if they were to change the name of their organization to the ‘‘American beauty Buds.” Perhaps it is because they realize they really are not old maids that they accept the name so readily. It was given them by common consent of the congregation after the club, which had been without a name, had given a successful enter- tainment entitled “The Old Maids’ Con- vention.” Yes, There Are 23 Members. Miss Eva Harper is president, Miss Jennie Wagner vice-president and Miss Alice Lylick secretary. Misses Sophia and Pearl Swank are among the most active of the 20 other members. As the above statement’ indicates, there are 23 members. Unlucky? Well, some of the members were ‘afraid it might be. So they decided to offset one hoodoo with another. Last Friday night, the thirteenth of the month, “was the time of all times they ¢hose for their bazaar for the benefit of the church. Evidently, the Friday the thirteenth hoodoo and the 23 hoodoo destroyed each the other’s bane- ful influence, for the affair was a big success. Not an Affinity Exchange. The society is not a husband-hunting organization or an affinity exchange. This has been made plain whenever its members have had occasion to discuss affairs of the heart. There are penalties for marrying—severe ones, but not quite severe enough to keep’any member from matrimony if she really wants to enter it. None of the young women has taken this step in the six months of the so- ciety’s existence. FIVE YOUNG WASHINGTON U, PROFESSORS PUT BAN ON STUDENTS’ “LEMON TREE” Teachers Who Would Object to Nursing Bottles as Christmas Gift Cause Dean to Veto Plan. Five of the younger professors and in- structors of Washingion University who feared that the Christmas tree which students of the university had planned for next Tuesday would yield nothing hut lemons for them have caused Dean F. A. Hall to veto the enterprise. In consequence, many of the young men and. women of the university have on their hands a large assortment of stockings, jumping-jacks, whistles, dolls, Teddy bears, nursing bottles, popcorn, reanuts and other toys and sweets which they will sell at a bargain. It was the intention to repeat the en- tertainment given in the university chapel last year, when the students gave their professors and instructors a lot of appropriate gifts—and some cenfiden- tial opinions of the professors held by the young men and women. These men objected to the program: A. S. Langendorf, professor of electrical engineermeg; E. J. Swift, professor of psychology; W. H. Chenery, professor of Greek; W. E. McCourt, instructor in geology, and F. H. Vose, instructor in efectrical engineering. They represented fo Dean Hall that the Christmas tree probably would bear nothing for them tut a loss of dignity. They suspected, according to students, that some pres- ents of a sort useful to Benedicts were ready for distribution among the young- cr professors and instructors. Prof. Francis Nipher and Prof. C. M. Woodward had approved the students’ plan, and Prof. Woodward had prepared several speeches of presentation.

Telegraphers’ Union of America and the various officers of that organization. The plaintiffs say that with many others they struck last sunimer, and that various sums of money were ad- vanced to them to help their members at such times; but that they were not permitted to give simple receipts for the money, but were compelled to sign promissory notes, and that suit is now about to be brought on those notes to enforce collection.

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

Bie kebab oe oe 241,165 Average Sunday gain this year.. 11,068 That this great value giving product is appreciated by advertisers who buy hewspaper space for results only is shown day after day in the great vol- ume of advertising the Post-Dispatch carries—illustrated, far example, in qur issue of last Thursday, when all pre- vious daily Post-Dispatch records for columns of paid publicity were anni- hilated. One hundred and fifty-seven columns of legitimate paid advertising were car- ried on that day under normal condi- t.ons, Without special effort of any kind, eclipsing its previous high-water mark of 151 columns, made Thursday Oct. 25, 1906. The Srowt. of the great army of Post-Dispatch readers year after year keeps steady pace with the percentage of increase in population of its ':iome clty. Because everyone knows that the Post-Dispatch serves no interests but the people's interests, that it is inde- pendent and fearless and considers nothing but the people's rights and welfare. This is one of the many reasons why the sales of the Post-Dispatch in st. Louls and St. Louis suburbs, every day in the year, are greater than the sales of all other St. Louis morning and evening papers, combined, in the same territory. . Cireulation books open to all.

As a rule, all hours of the day look alike, and feel alike, to the dys- peptic. There is no hankering for breakfast, no gnawing for lunch, and no mouth-watering for dinner. Dis- gust takes the piace of desire, and the clock itself at mealtime reflects the owner’s grumpy face. If before breakfast, before dinner and before supper you do not have a happy-hungry feeling and longing for food, and feel that you could eat al- most anything put before you, you have a symptom of dyspepsia. — If during your meals you stil] have an aversion to food, or feel hungry and not-hungry at the same time, you have a very pronounced case of dyspepsia. If after your meals you feel bloated, or gassy, or you have heartburn and. pains in your stomach, or you feel gurgly brash rising in your throat, you have a chronic case of dyspepsia, and you have had it a long time, probably without realizing it. For all these things there is a sure eure, a cure that will make mealtime an awaited pleasure, and the meal it- self a soothing luxury. This is true __because the cure—Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, contain just the elements which a good, strong, healthy stomach as. : Each little tablet is enough to digest 3000 grains of food, thoroughly and well—just as though you had no stom- ach at all. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets actually ao all the work of a healthy stomach, They digest if your stomach can’t. They digest everything. Take one ot two after each meal and know what it is to have the luxury of a perfect digestion, and stop irritation, belching, bloat and brash, end that “lump of lead” feeling. They cure dys. pepsia, indigestion and all stomach troubles: They contain absolutely nothing harmful.

RICH STUDENTS POOR SCHOLARS Highest Grades at Yale Made in Cheap Dormitories. Special to the Post-Dispatch, NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 14.—Dean Henry Wright of Yale filed a report today which shows that poor scholar- ship goes hand in hand with luxurious dormitories: that near.y all of the bes students in-the university live in cheap, plain rooms, but that almost all of the students picked for the secret societies come from the rich men’s dormitories. Dean Wright has kept count of the residence of the rich and poor students and the good and bad scholarship lists in Yale classes for five years, and to- day’s report shows that the residents of the expensive dormitories are getting poorer marks than ever, while it is growing to be more rare to find an oc- cupant of a cheap dormitory In a se- cret society. ~~ MARRIAGE LICENSES, Charles ©.

POLICE

AT “HAND

“Laws on Boxing in Early Days Were Enforeed After Present Manner of the Time.

BY GEORGE SILER. The Veteran Referee. CHICAGO, Dec. 114. HERE is a law in the State of Illinois prohibiting prize fights, which was placed on the statute books long before those direct- ly interested in the game, at the present writing, were born. _ It not only prohibits the exchanging of blows, with or without gloves, ; for money or prizes, but it touches on the unlawfulness of everything _ conceivable connected with it. The law is so worded that the principals of a fight, the. managers, _ promoters and the spectators, leaving one city to take part or attend a fight in some other city or town, Satine or upon their return. Regarding the latter the following is a In October, 1874, Billy Madden and to fight at Tolleston, Ind.

There is no doubt the pro- moters of the affair were told to. go ahead, but it appears they did not can- vas the town thoroughly and accepted the word of those who leaned toward the sport. Champion heavyweight of the world, Tommy Burns, was let down easier than was expected for accepting Jack Pal- mer’s challenge instead of taking the first boat to this country to match with Jack Johnson, who, not challenged him properly. The Eng- lishman went about securing the match according to

champion. Of course, Jack,-judging by his poor showing against Jack “Twin” Sullivan, is considered an easy mark, but so were the unknown aspirants for pugilistic honors who went down be- fore John L. Sullivan, and Charley Mitchell, when matched to fight Jim Corbett and Jack Finnegan, Hank Griffen, Joe Kennedy and Jack Mun- roe, who were trimmed by Jim Jeffries in jig time. The writer could mention scores of other “easy’ ones picked up by champions in the light divisions, but why mention them? It is a part of the game in these days of commercialism to get the coin with the least possible ex- ertion. With all due respect to Jack John- son, it must be admitted he appears the hardest nut for Burns to crack. Still, his record does not show victories ever tough propositions. That, however, does not demonstrate he could not have beaten the toughest of them if given a And that is not saying he can beat Burns. Of course, the supposition is that he can, but that will be demon- strated when they meet.

Regarding Tom’s recent victory over “Gunner” Moir, we, in this country, thought him an easy mark, but the Eng- lishmen really expected Moir to clean Burns in a hurry, according to a Lon- don paper, which states: +» “Experts who know the two men con- Burns will not last «ten The great doubt is about the There is much will be.’’ After the battle, Tommy was accused of prolonging the fight with an idea of } ores just how sadly e help bulge his pocke he went into the rin moving pictures and that he did -not bet a cent until he came to his corner at the end of the first round, when he told his backer, Neall, a dub and to bet the limit. that every time “Gunner” took a saucy glare at Tommy the latter would poke him on the nose and then work over to where Neall was egg om and tell him to bet. e British fighter in They state to fight for the that Moir was One paper states Gunner tried, the yelled for his handy man to get down the money.

Fpecial to the Post- Dispatch. OAKLAND, Cal., Dec. 14.—There has been a slight siackening up in the racing game here. and the high pres- sure of the first month is not quite being maintained. The pace was too fast in the ring, and a lightning fast track could not last forever. Rain was bound to come. The percentage of winning favorites was 4oo high, and the pendulum was sure to swing back sooner or later. Still, there was no reason to sup- pose the quality of the sport and of the horses performing here would fall off so noticeably as. has been the case. No reason, that is to say, except that the running track was kept as hard as flint and trainers were grumbling a good deal about having to risk lam- ing their horses or else keep them in their stalls. The opening of the new racecourse at Arcadia, a suburb of Los Angeles, offered.an alternative and a surpris- ing number of horsemen have seized it. In fact so inany of the most im- portant stables have gone south that a large loss has been made in the quality of the horses running here now. ; Suspects Favors Were Shown. There are rumors that the hardness of the track has not been the only reason for the rather astonishing ex- odus of men, horses and riders. Pad- dock gossip says that some horsemen thought or felt that Clerk of the Course Horace Egbert showed favors to some that he did not extend to others, How real or fancied these: griev- ances may have been it is hard to say, but~there is no denying that a large gap has been left by the de- parture of the stables of R. L. Car- man, Bob McKeever, D, KeHy, Paul Rainey and J. A. Bennet, all from New York; and of Roy Offut, U. Z,. de Arman, J. H. Tuohey, H. G. Keene, and sundry others of less note. In fact so many of the better grade of horses have gone that if Sam Hil- dreth were to fgllow them with his large and classy stable, *the cream surely would be pretty nearly all off Emeryville’s racing. Over two hundred horses have gone, and with them Jockeys Guy Burns, C. Ross, Grand Knapp, Radtke, McBride and others of less importance, Ring Also Suffers. The back action of the exodus south has been felt in the ring. At first it was not noticeable, because the pub- lic, which generally had been winning since the season here Sesned. was playing more and liberally every day. But the tide turned in favor of the layers early this week, and after the public had suffered two or three tough days the volume of play shrank noticeably. And then the absence of such free bettors as Carman, Bennett, McKeever, Peters, Offut and Jack At- kin was felt quickly and the ring be- camo aware that it was overdone. That is, that the number of books, which had been increasing steadily each week, had outgrown the volume of play. Joe Harlan is another free layer that was deep in’ the hole since he put up his slate here, but by constant grinding he has got to the surface and will be hard to head from now on.

~ When the St. Mathews and Innisfails teams clash at Athletic Park, Garrison avenue and North Market street, this afternoon in the second game of the St. Louis Soccer League doublé-header, the best game of the season up to date is expected. The condition of the field will probably interfere with the teams greatly, but nevertheless the Innisfails and St. Mathews will put up a fiercely contested game. The Innisfailgs are leading the league with a record of 3 games won and 3 lost, giving them a total of 9 points. The St. Mathews won 3 games, lost 1 and tied 2, giving Capt. Finnegan's eleven 8 points. The St. Mathews and Innis- fails have met twice this season, both games resulting in ties. The winning team this afternoon will meet the Hyde Park Blues of Chicago next Sunday at Athletie Park. A picked team from the league will play the Hyde Parks on Christmas day at the same place. Seots Are Practicing Hard. The Innisfail eleven is composed al- most entirely of Scotchmen from Benld, Ill, They play an aggressive game and have been training hard all week at Benid. The St.‘ Mathews team is com- posed of some of the best players in St. Louis and have been working to- gether nicely. Phere has been no fault with the team work of the eleven, but the men have not been in the best of condition and in the second halves have slowed down greatly from the speed at which they worked in the first period of play. Capt. Finnegan declares his men are all fit and will play at top speed from start to finish today.. The Innis- fails and St. Mathews will start play promptly at 3:30 p. m. The Shamrocks and Thistles wie meet in the opening game at 2 p The St. tee “inating team of the Ku- lage Park League, will have its final work out for the game with the Coal City eleven from Chicago next Sunday, when they play the Shamrocks in the second game of the doublé-header. Want a Clear Record. The St. Leos are anxious to have a clean record when they meet the Coal City men, as the latter did not lose a game in the Windy City League and won the championship. The Shamrocks’ team has been putting up a strong game all season. The North Ends and Kinlochs will clash in the opening game at 2 p. m. The players of all four teams will do their best Sunday as all the men are anxious to be selected to play on the picked team from all of the league clubs which will play Coal City at Kulage Park Christmas day. Mike -BPowns of the St. Marks, Capt. Brannigan of C. B. C. and Fullback Ryan of the St. Marks will all be al- lowed to resume their positions in their respective teams for the dou- ble-header of the Amateur League on the Cc. B. C. campus this afternoon. The men were suspended for rough work in games two weeks ago. The C. B. C. and St. Marks elevens are tied for the lead in the league, each having won three games, lost one and tied two for a total of eight points. These two teams will meet in the opening game, starting at 2 p. m. There is great rivalry two elevens and they furnish a hot contest.

STAR IN PRACTICT, POOR IN: MATCH seieltplscnia Emil Masson Bowls 300 Before Tourney and Then Falls Down.

Emil Masson of the Palace team, hold- er of the world’s record for three games in competition, furnished the sensation of the individual city championship ten- pin tournament matches on the Palace alleys yesterday afternoon, when he averaged 239 for four games in practice, including one perfect game of 300, and later won but two games out of seven in his regular tournament match with lL. W. aldecker of the Hyde Parks. Waldecker averaged 191, while Masson's average for the seven games was 178 1-7. Masson started practicing for Wal- decker about 3 p. m., as he was sched- uled to start the match at 4. Masson opened with a 205 game. He sent over 247 pins in his second game, 204 in his third, and me back with 12 consecu- tive strikes for a perfect game of 300 in the fourth. This was enough and Mas- son was content to quit. His average of 239 for the four games is a city, if not a State, record. Delay Starts Masson, Waldecker was over an hour late in arriving. Masson meanwhile had cooled off and when he started in was stiff and chilled. He could only get 130 pins in the opening game, which was amusing |}. alongside of his 300 in his previous game. Masson came back with a 260 in his yecond game, but was unable to keep going, while Waldecker went over the 0 mark in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth games. Waldecker let down in the final and Masson won by six pins. Masson’s 258 was the highest single game of the tournament. up to date. Waldecker’s 191 average was the best registered yesterday afternoon. Masson's stent was quite a surprise, especially a 5-2 break. Masson’s 300 game and his other prac- tice mes were rolled against pins that had been used before. For the tourna- ment matches new pins are used. The new “lumber” is much harder to , than the pins that have seen service a couple of weekg and bad splits were frequent. Kere Turns the Trick. Martin Kern did the unexpected when he trimmed George Rudolph of the Pal- ace team. Rudolph started out like a whirlwind and his 215 game was away to the good. Rudolph had shot his bolt, however, and Kern was the winner of the second, third, fourth and fifth games, giving him the match, 4-3. Jules Schmitt found the new pins a mighty hard abit oryermengs The big cap- tain of the Palace team averaged 178 yl but he defies any man to hig tt op Mage with the new pins on No. 1 and No. alleys. Schmitt won five out of isa games from Rothwell. Rothwell’s slow ball resulted in one gplit after another. Be averaged i156 1-5. Jerry Ameling of the Witter-Christens and C. L.

At both the sessions, the Nationals in.New York and the Americans in Chicago, important steps were taken by the club .owners to advance the game and better the conditions that exist in connection with the popular sport. Changes in the playing rules as well as decided action in econductitig the games have been taken by each organization and the changes are almost sure of adoption before another season is begun. Players havxe been traded, bought and sold by several of the club own- ers in their attempts to strengthen their chubs for the coming year. The preparatory work of arrangements for another season has been done and details will be handled by commit- tees so that everything will be in readiness to start off the new season next April with every indication for the highest-class baseball that the public has ever witnessed. HEN the Rules Committees of each league - meet in a joint session in February there may ee some changes advised by the Na- onals that will not meet with ap- proyal by the American magnates, and undoubtedly the Nationals will not agree altogether with what the newer keague has suggested.

President Noyes of Washington also has grievances against Johnson, mainly because of the arbitrary ronanner in which he was despoiled of Jake Stahl by Johnson's influence with the Na- tional Commission. Noyes also heid back at the meeting because he did not want to cause friction in the league, and was absent much/of the first ses- sion. For various utterances against John- gon, Noyes was not elected a director this year by the rotation process, and John I. Taylor was re-elected in his place. Although Comiskey has talked twice aS much about Johnson as Noyes, neo attempt was made te deprive him of a place on the directorate. Comiskey was also appointed on the Rules Committee by President Johnson because: the latter probably could not wisely.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. Si eteiceton and FPennsylania have been conduct- ing informal negotiations since the close of the recent season looking to a football game next fall. Man- ager Wheeler of Princeton and Man- ager Disston of Pennsylvania met on Franklin Field at the Army and Navy game and discussed the possibility of a contest. Following this Captain-elect Hollen- back of Pennsylvania was the guest of Capt. McCormick of Princeton at Princeton last Sunday and talk of the game was renewed. All are per- sonally in favor of the game and it would be arranged without further quibble were their views to decide she matter. However, there has been opposition among old @raduates growing out of the feud itn the early nineties, which remains to be bridged, and the con- sent of the faculty committees of the two’ institutions is necessary. The matter has not yet reached the stage where it can be presented to the fac- ulties, but there is little likelihood that serious objection will be met on that score.

MOUNTAIN RIDES THEE WINNERS Proves Sensation at New Orleans— Al Muller Takes Crescent City Stakes.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW ORLEANS, lkLa., Dec. 14.— Jockey Mountain rode the winners in the first three races this afternoon and his followers cashed big. The other feature of the day was the acci- dent to Jockey Koerner when Char- latan threw him. Koerner has long been known as the unluckiest kid on the turf, Clear weather and a héavy track were the contrary conditions met with today, but there was fair sport anyhow. One long shot went througn and the backers of Brown Thistle are happy tonight for they cashed in at 20 to 1. It was in the first race that this horse came to life and beat out Bell Wether, a 1 to 3 favorite. The distance was six furlongs. Jockey Mountain put up asfine ride on Brown Thistle and easily beat out the fa- vorite. Civil Again a Winner. Pat Civil of: St. Louis, once. of Owensboro, Ky,, came to the front again with his breadwinner, Dr. Me- Cluer, in the second, at 1 and 1-16 mile for 3-year-olds. The Doctor closed a big gap and was much the best, winning as his rider pleased. Ivanhoe ran a fair race. Fonsoluca tired. In the third race for 3-year-olds at one mile and 70 yards, Zipango won driving. Temoceo was much the bet- ter of the others, but could not over- take the leader. Al Muller won the Crescent City: stakes for 2-year-clds. Marbles was an added starter. Muller ran to form and was well in hand all the way. Ray Thompson hung on gamely to the end and Gee Whiz closed with a rush. Angelus did not have usual speed. Forced to Race. Higginbotham was so much _ the best in the six furlong dash for 3- year-olds that he raced along at ease until the final half furlong, when Hawkana came up fast and forced the leader to hum himself. He responded to the whip gamely and won going away. Agile, outrun in the first part of the last race, came up with a rush at the end and won in a canter. Fla- igny, owned by R. KE. Watkins of Texas, weakened badly, but had little trouble beating Sister Polly for the place. ‘ Crescent City Summaries.

ST. LOUIS MAY GET GAME WITH VANDERBILT IN 1908 ttn —

There is a possibility ef St. Louis University getting a game with Vander- bilt next fall. St. Louis has wanted to take on couple of seasons, but has been unable to get a game booked. However, there is a chance next season, and should it fall through this time, it is almost cer- tain that a game wi!l be procured for the following year, should St. Louis still desire it. In a letter to the Post-Dispatch Coach Dan McGugin of the Vanderbilt eleven states that he would like to play Co- chem’s team next fall, and while he had nothing to do in arranging the sched- ule, he would talk to the board of the Nashville school on the matter. Vanderbilt has not completed a sched- ule for next year as yet, and much de- pends on the outcome cf arrangements for an Eastern game. If that falls through St. Louis might get a chance. In his letter McGugin says: ‘Vanderbilt now has a big game with the North, probably one with the East and a very hard one fcr Thanksgiving in Sewanee, and this is about all that ean be. done well in one season. It will net be long, in my judgment, how- ever, before Vanderbilt and St. Louis will play, though I don’t know for sure if it will be arranged this year. But I think, as far as Vanderbilt is con- cerned, ‘it’ will depend upon the outcome of negotiations at present in the East.”’ It has been eer, definitely decided that the St. Louis eleven will make the trip to the Pacific Coast, the Athletic Board having yesterday approved the proposed excursion and wiring its ac- ceptance of the terms. That means that

Since she was taken from her erratic mother, formerly the wife of Saxony’s present king, aml placed in the care of Paroness Schoenberg, who was .

The child, who, for so long, has been the innocent cause of the unseemly fight ' between her mother, once Crown Prin- cess Louise, who eloped with her chil- dren's tutor, and the King of Saxony, Is described as ‘‘a dear little flaxen-haired . girl with blue eyes and a most engag- | happy and she | health.

EMPRESS OF GERMANY WORE JEWELS-WORTH $1,250,000 AT AN ENGLISH BANQUET Kaiser’s Wife Took Her Most Val- ued Gems With Her on Fa- mous Visiting Tour. LONDON, Dec. 14-—The Kaiser and Empress, before their return home, sent back to Berlin the many jewels they brought to London for their of- ficial visit, including the Em- press’ famous ropes and ornaments of matchless pearls. At the State ban- quet she presented a vision of splendor which justified in a double sense the compliment the Kaiser once paid her when he referred to her as ‘“‘the jewel that sheds luster by my side.” The Empress’ magnif.cent diamonds, which she wore on the principal occa- sions at court, are valued at $1,250,000. Most of them are heirlooms of the Prussian Crown, and can only be worn by a reigning queen. The value of the diamonds which are the Kalserin’s private property amounts to over $600,000. The greater number of them were left to her by the Empress Augusta, who specially be- queathed to her granddaughter several dazzling necklets and parures, The principal ornament of her dia- dom is a diamond as large as a cherry, on each side of which are set from 30 to 40 extremely fine stones. .When the iSmpress appeared recently at a grand ball the court jeweler calculated that her train was beset with diamonds worth $30,000, while her dancing shoes were valued at $2500.

CROWN ON EACH PIECE

Floors, Walls and Even Furni- ture in Royal Nursery Enameled. ROME, Dec. 14.—Although Queen is now the mother of a good-sized family, three girls and a boy, she seems to en- joy preparing the most elaborate lay- ettes for each new arrival. The wardrobe for the latest little daughter, Princess Giovanna, born Nov. 18, is even more elaborate than the one made for the first child, whom the whole nation devoutly prayed might be a son and heir, but who bears the name of Princess Yolanda. Many cf the little garments were made by the Queen herself, who is an expert needlewoman, like several other European queens. She designed the em- broidery and the monograms’ which mark each piece in the layette. The crown is always in. the monogram. Sometimes it is embroidered on the hem of the little dress or petticoat, some- times under the coat collar and in other inconspicuous places. Made “Presentation’’ Pillow. Queen Helena also made the soft, ex- quisite pillow on which the babe was placed, soon after birth, and presented by the ministers to the members of the court. According to law the mip- isters must become sponsors to the na- tion that the child is really royal and not a strong plebelan smuggled in.- to take the place of a puny royal infant. This pillow was fashioned so that the babe could be slipped cozily into the case and tied in. It had a white satin cover under a slip of sheerest linen and Valenciennes lace, and the babe’s head rested against an embroidered design of the crown and a dove carrying in its bill an olive branch, the symbol of peace. The babe was baptized eight days after birth in the private chapel of the Quirinal, wearing the baptismal robes which have been In the house of Savoy for generations. They are splendid cre- atfons of lace and embroidery. Dow- ager Queen Margherita’s laces, which attracted so much attention at the World’s Fair at Chicago, include no handsomer piece than thosé used on these robes. Emblematic Floral Decorations. Queen Margherita followed her usual custom in having many of the garments in the layette embroidered, putting up- on them the edelweiss, the flower of the house of Savoy, and numerous de- signs of her personal flower, the Mar- guerite daisy, which the Italians love so well. She has given her new grand- daughter a solid gold toilet set,. made with the greatest secrecy and safely stowed away in the palace before the public knew of its existence. The new babe will live in the nursery prepared for the first child, the histor- ical apartment in the Quirinal occupied by Emperor William of Germany when he visited Italy. it is in the Quirinal proper and communicates with the Queen’s apartments by a flight of four steps down. The King and Queen do not live in the Quirinal proper, but in an addition built shortly before their marriage, there being an old supersti- tion in the house of Savoy that it Is unlucky for a son or a grandson to oc- cupy the rooms of a dead ruler of the house. Four Rooms in Nursery. The nursery consists of four rooms, with inlaid floors, white enameled walls and white enameled furniture. The head nurse is. an English woman, prim and sévere, but highly educated in everything relating to children. The real nurse is an Italian peasant. Both women must sleep in the babe's apart- ments. The little Princess will be rocked tin the cradle used by Queen Margherita for her father, a present from the city of Naples. MISSOURIAN’S SCIENTIFIC TOY Kaleidoscope Top Was Invented by Springfield Man. One of the most practical and inter- esting mechanical toys that has ap- peared upon the market in recent years is the Cunningham kaleidoscope top, a scientific toy which is well described by its makers as a mystery in colors. It is the invention of C. V. Cunningham of Springfield, Mo. By means of revolving color cards fitted to the flat surface of the top, a series of remarkably beautiful color changes, varying from deep sunset ef-

fects to the delicate tints of the morn- | ing glory, may be produced. The top retails at 50 cents.

t as AUSTRIA WARKS PRETENDER TC QUIT PLOTTING Dom Miguel Told He Can't Plan Overthrow of King Castro There. o— = AMBITION IS COSTLY Mother Sells Diamonds That He May Carry on Fight for Portuguese Throne. VIENNA, , ae Braganza ig Rec hee ig “ efore Em- peror Francis Joseph and told in plain language that he must get eut of Aus- tria or stop plotting here to seize the throne of Portugal. Miguel has been trying to take ad- vantage of the upheaval in Portugal to press his claims. Unluckily for his hopes, he talked very indiscreetly to an interviewer and was foolish enough to give the reporter his personal card. When the interview was printed, the Emperor immediately Summoned the pretender, who resides at Chateau Sie- benstein, in Lower Austria, and is Colonel of an Austrian regiment of hus- sars. ‘Threatened With Exile, The aged monarch told Miguel tliat he and his whole family will be put across the Austrian frontier if he attempts to conspire against the present King of Portugal. The Emperor does not love Miguel— always extravagant and dissipated—who was Crown Prince Rudolph’s companion at the mysterious tragedy at Meyerling, which almost broke the Emperor’s heart. Besides, the Emperor probably believes that the Braganza Prince's claim to the Portuguese ‘throne is un- founded. This Dom Miguel is the son of that Domt Miguel who, while regent in 1828, seized the throne of Portugal. He was deposed with the aid of Dom Pedro of Brazil and of Lord Napier of Magdala, in 1834, when he accepted as a solace an annual income of $75,000 and went into exile, promising never to return, and renouncing all claims to the throne. The present Dom Miguel has never ap- peared at court here since the Crown Prince’s romance was so tragically end- ed. He has six sisters, all of whom married wealthy royalties and who are freely drawing on their fortunes to fur- ther his present aspirations. The mém- bers of the family are loyal to each other under all circumstances.

Revolting Features of Count’s Private Life Not for the Public Eye. BERLIN, Dec. 14.—Intense interest is } taken in the second trial of the Von Moltke-Harden case, which will begin Monday. Not one-tenth of the applications for admission to the proceedings can be considered, although the courtroom is three times as large as that in which the case was first heard. There will be 28 witnesses, exclusive of a medical expert, for the defense. Prince Phillip Zu Eulenberg has been summoned and has accepted service of the subpena. In addition, evidence will be given for Editor Harden by Baron von Berger, manager of the Hamourg City Theater, who sought, by negotia- tion and diplomacy, to break up the scandalous “Round Table’ previous to Harden’s newspaper attacks. Swiss Minister to Testify. De Claparede, the Swiss Minister to the Berlin ceurt, and his wife, who were in the Von Moltke circle, are believed to be in a position to testify regarding Count Cuno von Moltke’s shortcomings. Goeritez, Prince Zu Eulenberg’s ma- jordomo at Lieben, will testify, and so will Frau von Heden, the mother of Frau von Elbe, who was divorced froms Von Moltke. She is the bitter enemy of her daughter’s first husband. Other witnesses for the defense will be Lawyer Ilch, an attorney in the di- vorce proceedings; a pastor of the name of ‘Jungnickel, a mysterious witness whom Harden has just secured; another hitherto unknown witness named Kist- ler, from Munich; Dr. Cords from New Brandenburg, who will tell about Frau von Elbe’s health at the time of the divorce; Lieut. von Kruse, Frau von Elbe’s son; a Sister of Mercy named Lange, who attended Frau von Elbé, and Herr Lymann. To Show Berlin’s Darkest Side. The witnesses for the defense wil! in- clude three Berlin police commission ers, who are supposed to know all the mysteries of ‘‘Darkest Berlin,’’ espe- clally everything concerning its most degraded practices. , The Public Procurater has summoned,

selves to place him on the throne.

; in addition to Count von Moltke, who will give his evidence, his cousin, Col. von Moltke, who was the Count’s-emis- Sary to Editor Harden regarding the proposed duel and other matters in con- troversy between them. Frau von Elbe and Count Wartenslebén, a relative of hers, have been cited to appear. Two former valets of Von Moltke and two former maids of the then Countess have been subpenaed. The whole miserable married life of the Von Moltke couple will evidently be gone into fully at the trial, which will oc- cupy three days at least. Those parts of the testimony relating to the family life of the Von Moltkes will almost certainly be heard in pri- vate. A deep impression was caused by the recent utterances of Prince von Buelow in the Reichstag roundly condemning the publicity given under German law to such unhappy details.

CHEMULPO, Korea, Dec. 14.—Koreans have been fend of regarding themselves as 2 nation of 20,090,000 souls, but the arst census of the country known to history, Which has just been completed, shows that in reality they do not total anything like that number. The census has been in progress for 12 months. on the basis of a house-to- house visitation, and though the fig- yres do not pretenc to absolute accu- racy it is probable that they are not very far wrong. It is calculated that there are 2,932, 987 houses in Korea and 9,781,671 inhabitants. With an aréa of 9,0) square miles, this gives a density of about 109 per- sons to the mile. It appears that men are in a majority, the proportion being 117 men to 1 women. FRENCH DEATH RATE GROWS WHILE BIRTHS ARE REDUCED “Country Is Being Depopulated,” the Cry After Statistics Are Shown. PaniS, Dec. 14.—“France is being de- populated,” is the cry of the press as a result of the statistics of births and deaths for the last year, which have just been published. According to these figures there is an enermous increase tn death rate and a decrease in the birth rate. Le Matin says that if this centinues France will become depopulated very soon. There are districts in France in which last year saw 689 fewer births a month than in the previous years. In some cases the death rate has increased in districts to over 1000 a month more than the years previously. In order to show clearer what the sit- uation is, comparative statistics quoted. Among these are the following figures: Between the years 1901 and 196 the excess of births over deaths to 10,000 in- habitants in France was 18, in Germany 149, in Austria 122, Hungary 110, Bel- gium 107, England 138, Holtand 155, Italy 106, Norway 144.

FIREFIGHTER

rr Forty Streams of Water Will Be Thrown 450 Feet in Air. WORK BEGINS MONDAY

“Underground Survey” Neces- sary to Determine Where Pipes Shall Lay.

Surveyors and workmen will begin to- ‘Morrow on an “underground survey” of we the district between Third” and Kigh- teenth streets, Poplar street and Frank- lin avenue, to determine what obstacles in the way of tunnels, sewers, piping and conduits must be overcome or avoided in establishing a high-pressure water system for fighting fire in the richest section of the city. : Hayihng obtained that information from the various electric, gas, telephone and telegraph companies and _ sewer, @treet and fire departments, Water ‘Commissioner Adkins will make esti- Mates of the cost of building a pump- ‘Ing plant and laying several miles of “mains. & Commissioner to undertake the im- provement and to defray the expense ‘from the revenue of his department, = probably will be introduced in the Mu- j “se wk an we Ps ‘nicipal Assembly next spring. P * ee fey ‘Commissioner Adkins now puts the cost of the high-pressure system at $2,000,000. Allowing four yéars in which to install it he thinks it could be met from the receipis of his department, by using $500,000 annually. This meth- od pf financing the scheme would ob- viate the issuance of bonds or special appropriations from the general muni- cipal funds. Mayor Favors Plan. Mayor Wells and the Board of Pub- Mc Improvements favor the plan, be- lieving that the rapid increase in the valuation of property in the central district and the number and heizht of new buildings in that section necessi- tate a correlative bétterment of the means of preventing or combatting. a great conflagration. : Underwriters also have been using the ‘System, and although they have not yet pledged themselves to any reduc- tion of insurance premiums, it is be- lieved that they would consent to give property in the district the benefit of -better rates under it. ‘ The district in which Commissioner Adkins proposes to establish the high- pressure service is the richest of its ; ‘area in St. Louis and probably any- “where else west of New York. In it are ae! the largest financial institutions, the big office buildings, retail mercantile establishments, wholesale houses, hotels res ee i aa - and municipal buildings of the city. Te safeguard this immense wealth Mr. Adkins says. additional facilities are imperative. If they don’t include gm high pressure system they will mean an increase in the number of engines, patent of mains and more plugs. All these will cost appreximately what ft fs intended to expend on the serv- Pete _ fce, without guaranteeing the same ef- _ fectiveness. ye Re <o Throw Stream. 450 Feet. Under present conditions there is in the mains downtown a pressure suf- ilts For Stringent Times Slippers for Everybody All Styles, All Grades, All Prices + 7 es T ficient to throw a stream 5% feet, allowing for no loss through friction. Most of the big office buildings are of greater altitude than that. To bring water into their upper stories engines are required. To battle with a con- flagration downtown half the’ engines in the city would have to be called be left unprotected. With high-pressure mains. in the streets it is practicable to send streams ef water 400 to 450 feet skyward—or far higher than any office building or spire in the city. New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and ‘hicago have high-pressure systems in their commercial centers. Toronto has just completed a like system. In all those places the use of the. service has demonstrated it to be practical and economical. | In St. Louis the question of the kind and location of a pumping station has presented difficulties not encountered in other cities. " Two plans were considered. One to supply the system from an “intake’’ in the river between Market and Olive streets; the second to convey the wa- ter through a main from Bissell’s point. This method has the approval of Com- missioner Adkins and probably will be Adopted. The wide variation in the ‘stage of the river at St. Louis—3%s to 40 feet—is regarded as excluding the other plan. Abolishes Police Substation, It is Commisstoner Adkins’ ~ recom- mendation that the old Chestnut Street Police Sub-station be transferred from the control of the Police Department to that of the Water Department, so as to provide a site for the pumping station of the high-pressure system. It is deemed more strategic and less cost- ly than any other ayailable location. The transfer could be made by charg- ing from $12,000 to $15,000 to the Water Department and crediting the same sum to the Police Department. Commissioner Adkins believes that the pumps—a battery in pairs—could best be driven by electricity, and that this pewer could be more cheaply pur- chased than generated by the city. The capacity of the pumps, working jointly, would be 10,000 gallons a minute for the maximum, or 2000 gallons a minute for each pair. This would give a maximum of 40 streams of 250 gallons a minute each. All the pumps, if kept in opera- tion for 24 hours at this rate, would ex- pel an amount of water equal to one- fifth that consumed by the entire city in the same period. Emergency switches would be provided so that at any moment current could be gbtined from any of the big power plants ef the eity—for example, the United Railways Co., the Union Electric Light and Power Co., or a municipal plant, if one should be built. Contemplates 36-Inch Main. If the main is laid from Bissell’s Point to the pumping station—as the in Third street and continue south of the station, where it will connect with the present arteries of distribution. _ This main will be at least 36 inches in diameter. The water flowing threugh it will be subjected to the same pressure as that given now. From the pumps there will extend one main and two auxiliary “feeders.” One of these aux- iliaries will go north on Second er Third street far enough to get beyond ‘the upper end of the railroad tunnel. The other will be laid south to Poplar street, and then turn west along the north edge of Mill Creek Valley to Eighteenth street. The principal ‘‘feeder’’ will be carried out Chestnut street to the west- ern limits of the district. That on the rorth side will be taken over Franklin avenue or Carr street to Eighteenth street. These feeders will be 20 inches in diameter. Lateral pipes about 12 inches in diameter will run at right engles to the main feeders at inter- vals between Third and Eighteenth streets, except on Eighth, where the of “dead ends’’ necessary. This will subdivide the high-pressure district into four squares, ° From the main feeders there will ex- tend along each Street, both north and south, a pipe about eight inches in diam- eter, so that it will be possible to have a plug on every corner where streets intersect. Thus, for instance, a main running north on Broadway would sup- ply two plugs on the east side at the intersection of Olive street, while one running along Olive street would sup- ply two others on opposite corners, How System Would Work. The manner of operating the system would be something like this: A first alarm from some point in the high- pressure district sounds in the pumping station. The men in charge take their }posts at the pumps. If a second alarm is given they start, say two pairs of pumps. That is the work of an instant, involving only the turning of a switch. At once the pressure increases through- out the district. Ina minute it is suffi- clently powerful to throw a dozen streams 400 feet skyward. The firemen drive to the fire in their Rose wagons, attach their lines directly to the plugs, carry them aloft or stand in the street and hurl tons of water onto the blaze. As the fire grows and threatens new disasters the number of pumps brought Into action is correspondingly augment- ed There are plugs on every corner, and, in certain blocks, at even more frequent intervals. Forty lines of hose eould be served from the high-pressure system, while, if the fire assumed the jextent of a conflagration, the low-press- ure system, by means of engines, could be used as an auxiliary, When the fire had been extinguished the pumps could be stopped. With their jcessation would cease a heavy expendi- ture for current. If no fire af magnitude should Start, there need be no draft on In addition to the cost of System In Jot the pumping

WEBSTER DAVIS COMES BACK AS A REPUBLICAN

Famous “Orator of the Mc- Kinley Administration” Now a St. Louisan.

HE Gaeta DENIES IS RICH

For Several Years He Has Been Traveling With His Mother.

Webster Davis has come back to Mis- souri to stay. He and his mother are living, in St. Louis. He has left the Democratic ranks and is bacx to his first love, the Republican party. He ex- pects to make political speeches and take an active part in the next State campaign in Missouri. Davis declares that he is not rich, that he ownes no apartment houses or other property in Kansas City or elsewhere, that he has only a few thousand dol- lars, and that he is out of a job. He denies that the Boers gave him $280,000, or that they gave him anything to help their cause in America. Few Doubted His Wealth.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Dec. 14.— Dame Fortune smiled at an inopportune time on Roy Williams, aged 20, of In- dianapolis, who, until yesterday, was serving a term in the reformatory here. Williams was one of the heirs to the estate of his grandfather, who died in Morgan County. It was settled recently and the news that he was to share in the money, it is thought, prompted him in making his sensational escape from the prison yesterday afternoon. The of- ficilals said they were told that Roy would receive about $7000. When the prisoners were taken from their cells to the dining-room in the re- ing it was noticed by the guards that Williams was not in line. The authori- ties found that the prisoner had broken into a storeroom, where a quantity of rope was stored. He improvised a lad- der by knotting the rope and got out into the yard without being seen. He used the ladder in scaling the high wall. It was dark at the time and none of the outside guards saw him leave. No trace has been found of Williams. The authorities are, however, congrat- ulating themselves that only one man got away, as they have evidence that there was a pilot.

that Mr. Davis, “‘the orator of the Mc- Kinley administration,’’ brought a lot of gold from South Africa to America to help the cause of the .oers here. He had resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Interior so that he would be free to campaign for Boer sympathy. He deserted the Republican party and joined the Democrats and _ supported Bryan in the campaign of 1900 because the Republicans refused to put a Boer plank in their platform, and because the Democrats did. Rows of magnificent apartment houses upon Kansas City’s finest boule- vard were supposed to have been built with Web. Davis's Boer gold, and to be owned by him. ‘*But,”’ says Mr. Davis, ‘‘the only Boer gold I ever saw is this piece hanging upon my watchcharm. It is the first soverign coined by the Boer republic and was given me by President Kruger. Missing Several Years. , For several years the whereabouts of Webster Davis has been a mystery to the politicians of Missouri. They knew he went to New York five years ago and that he became the c“ficial ora- tor for the Tammany organization there. And then he dropped out of sight and ‘“‘What’s become of Web- Davis?’’ became as unanswerable a qve- ry as “Who struck Billy Patterson?” Davis answers the question himself in this way: “I’ve been traveling with my mother, in search of hea'th, contert- ment and rest for her. We have trav- eled together through all of the United States, Canada and Mexico. We spent a happy summer together in Canada, a happy winter in Mexico, nearly a year in Seattle, and at last she tired ef it and wished to come back to old Mis- eouri to end her days. So here we are in St. Louis to stay. Mother is in her seventieth year, and her health is bet- ter now than it has been since we started away. Our home is at 4948 Page avenue.’”’ Paying Debt to Mother. Mr. Davis has given his whole hfe to the care of his mother. “When I was a boy we were despcr- ately poor,’ he says. ‘“‘We lived in Gal- latin, Mo. When I was big enough, I went to school in Lake Forest, Ill, and lighted the street lamps to pay my way through. The second year I was too poor to go back, and I said to mother that I guessed I would give up the Idea of getting an education. She decided that we would go to Lawrence, Kan., and she would keep boarders to pay my way throvgh the university there. “We did that, and I went to school and did alj the housework, because mother’s health was too peor for her to do it. I made up my mind then that if ever I got hold of money enough I would make it easy for mother, and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since then. Wow she 1s contented here and I am going to work.” “What will you do?” he was asked. “ft will go upon the lecture platform. I made $16,000 in one year at that and I like the work. I had to give it up be- cause I could not fill lecture engage- ments and travel with mother, too. She had to be waited. on constantly and there was no one to do it but me.’ Never Was a Democrat. “Are you back into the Republican fold again?” “Yes. I never was a Democrat. I sup- ported Bryan because the Democratic platform had a Boer plank and I was devoting my life sincerely then to the Boer cause and for their sakes I sac- rificed my political aspirations and chances. “When the Boer cause lost, I was ready to come back to the Republican party and there I shall stay. I re- fused to stump the country for Parker lagainst Roosevelt. Rogsevelt, you know, did exactly in the Russo-Jap War what I asked the Republicans to do in the Boer-English War.” “Will you go into politics In Mis- souri?”’ “! will never ask for office again, but I have some dear friends in politics ee eat arse what I can for them.” The Post-Dispatch is the only evening newspaper in St. Louts that receives of publishes news gathered by the Associated Prees.

BANKS OF WEST SHOW GREATEST GAINS IN CASH w

Ridgely’s Reports Show St. Louis Has 20.38 Per Cent of Means.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The follow- ing table prepared in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency shows the percentage of legal reserve and also the percentage of total cash means held by the national banks from which reports have been received up to Saturday even- ing, Dec, 14, compared with the figures from the same banks on Aug. 22 last. Reports from 27 reserve cities and States are included in this table. A comparison of the figures will show which cities have been paying out re- serves the most freely and which have felt compelled to protect themselves by greatly increasing their reserves and cash means. It will be noticed that the lowest comparative reserves are in cen- tral reserve cities and larger reserve “ga of the eastern part of the coun- Increase in West. The greatest increase in reserve and cash means are in the cities of the South and West, notably those in Baltimore, Savannah, Galveston, San Antonio, In- dianapolis, St. Paul, Wichita and San Francisco.

MRS, FOLK NOT ANXIOUS TO LIVE IN WASHINGTON

wy fe i Ww Governor’s Wife, Here on . Chetstenas Shopping Trip for Children, Says Jefferson City Is Congenial in | Every Way. sd

Christmas shopping in St. Louis was Mrs. Joseph W. + Folk’s mission in St. Louis last week. The Governor’s wife came down from Jefferson City and went from Union Station directly to the big department stores, where she spent every minute of four days. “No, indeed, it’s not all personal shop- ping,’’ she declared, as she came into the parlor of Mr. dnd Mrs. Murray French’s residence with her hat on and her coat ready to don. The hour was 8:15 in the morning and Mrs. Folk was preparéd for another shopping pilgrim- age. ‘We haven’t any children of our own at the Mansion, as you know, but both Mr. Folk and I think Christmas belongs pre-eminently to the little people. So last year we started a plan that has worked splendidly and we will repeat it this year. Many Children Invited. ‘We adopted the plan of inviting all children in the families of our acquaint- ance and then asking each of our little guests to bring one or two other chil- dren of whom they knew, and who might not have a Christmas tree in an- ticipation. ‘The afternoon of Christmas day we have the tree set up in the big dining room, and the children arrive. We try to make the fun as lively as we can. I ask a number of Jefferson City's young girls and matrons to help entertain the children, and last year it really went off very well. “IT am down to select pretty trifles for the tree, which is always a huge cedar brought in from the country by a farmer friend of Mr. Folk, who takes great pride in selecting a straight and handsome tree. It usually reaches quite to the celling. Women Ignore Politics, “No, IF don’t believe the women of Jefferson City, my social friends there. devote much time to politics. They naturally have an interest, if their hus- bands are in office, but politics is some- thing that we seldom discuss, and never with any aggressiveness. ‘You see, we are greatly occupied with. social matters. Why, the moment a visitor arrives in Jefferson City, espe- cially a young girl or matron who is at ell known there or who visits a well- known family, the whole town turns out to do her honor. We have a’ perfect round of entertainments, morning, noon and night, and we indulge in refresh- ments almost to the point of indi- gestion. “This generous and general mode of entertaining is quite common in smal! cities, I think, and certainly gives ey- erybody, visitor and home people alike, a very good time. “Then we are musical, too. The first winter I spent at the mansion I or- ganized a choral club, with instrumen- tal musicians also as members, This ciub has really flourished splendidly and they have coniplimented me ever since by electing me president. We have regular meetings and at our next concert we propose to give “Mrs. Mar- joribanks’ Musicale,” that the Morning Choral of St. Louls gave so successfully & season OTF sO Ago. Don't you think we are ambitious? But the club has talent enough to make a.good showing, { am quite certain.” During Mrs. Folk’s residence tn mn. Louls she was an active

she has beeh placed on ‘the honorary list. Mrs. Folk is looking in excellent health and spirits. She is the tailor- made type of woman and always looks her best In a close-fitting coat and skirt sult of some dark Weave, with plain, rather severe linen shirtwaist and one of the attractive embroidered linen col- lars held together by a little lace jabot. Doesn’t Wear Big Hat. She has decided to forswear the pre- scribed style of exaggerated hat, and appeared during her visit in a dark blue felt, turned squarely up, a Httle on one side, with folds of violet and blue velvet nestled in the brim. It had an individuality all its own and was most becoming. , Mrs. Folk was asked boldly if she helped her husband write his speeches. She was much amused. “No, tndeed,” she said. “I sometimes listen to him speak before the general public hears what he has to say, and that’s quite enough, don’t you think?’ “Thinking of Washington? Indeed I am not. Haven't even dreamed of it. You see, Jefferson City is so thoroughly congenial in every way and I have so many friends there, that a residence in any other part of the country does not enter into my calculations.”’ ST. LOUIS STUDENTS AMONG VICTIMS OF GRIP EPIDEMIC NOW SWEEPING THE EAST Maurice L. Friedman, Young Sopho- more at Harvard, in Critical Condition. St. Louls young men and women ih school in the East are among the vic- tims of the grip epidemic, which is sweeping through that section of the country. Among those who are fll te Maurice L.

ing in St. Louis. It came to us unheralded and unknown. Owing te this lack of exploitation it had to stand on its own merits as revenlcd right here and now. It has “made good.” The week is memorable for this roason. . i do not recall another instance in local musical history where a singing or- ganization has scored so signally under such trying conditions, I do not re- member any time in the past when St. Louis audiences—though not so large “So happily they dream alway, and play and dance and sing, “My player-folk, my player-folk! For them I've not a thing, ~ ir chanting march to the ter- 7 their cha g © the “I never thought of them—and now there’s nothing I ve “ 3 ple in “Aida” at the Odeon last Tuesday evening, Charley Cavanagh of as the worth of the work demanded—so satisfyingly proved that they know CHAULIN's ar ERAL) A the Olympic and.

I know that never have I heard a St. Louis playhouse echo to enthusiastic “bravos’ as did the Odeon last Tuesday night when the Milan Grand Opera Company sang “Alda."’ The nearest approach to the fervor then displayed was when the Metropolitan Opera Company, under Maurice Grau’s direction, sang “Lucia” in the old Exposition Music Hall 13 years ago. For that performance Music Hall was crowded to the doors. The Odeon should have been thus crowded for “Aida’’ last ‘Tuesday night, and for “Cavalleria Rusticana”’ and “I’Pagliacci’ Monday night and for ‘Faust’ at Wednesday’s matinee. The “Rigoletto” of Thursday night was somewhat anarred by the deficiencies of Olga Simzis as Gilda, but-Arcangeli in the title -role proved himself a genuinely great baritone. The other offerings of the “On Christmas morn, there’s nought for them—it’s shameful, I declare! _ “And everyone of ‘7m TI love, because they’re poeta true, “They live the life of dreaming as no other mortals do. “They dream the dreams of peauty that the Golden Age onee knew.

Fran- : Pigs cis Wilson appeared in “When Knights Were Bold” at the Century, the new play proving to be a quaintly amusing conceit of no great pretentions. At the Grand, in “Dion O’Dare,” Fiske O’Hara treated us to an Irish romantic play de- * old of certain hackneyed characters that have become tiresome for lo, these many years. The offerings at other houwes were fairly up to the average. Richard Carle in “The Spring Chicken’ now comes to the Olympic and Edna Wallace Hopper in ‘0 Miles from Beston” to the Century. Musical comedy thus cvmpetes at the two leading houses. I shall tell ycu of its merits later, also of *he offerings elsewhere.

BANK STATEMENT EVIDENCES RETURN TO BETTER TIMES wer

— ee NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Today’s bank statement. marked the continued move- ment towards restoration of normal con- ditions. The decreased deficit of $6,100,000 Was about the same as last week's, and would undoubtedly have been very much larger but for the surrender of reserve money to the treasury in subscription for the new Government securities. Here, then, is visible and acknowl- edged o ration of this government plan fn the 4 rection of hindrance to the bank recovery. Next week, when part of the cash thus subscribed returns in the ‘form of public deposits with the banks far greater reduction of the deficit Should be witnessed. Comment on the day’s stock mar- ket is scarcely necessary; to al) in- tents and purposes it lay motionless. An early fractional decline slowly made good in the main before the close was all wesw happened. qa Y, STOCKS AGAIN LOWER AT OPENING —_

Recessions Are General, but Fractional—Sugar Is Slumpy. NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 10 a. m.—Weak- ness was again apparent at the opening of the market this morning. With only two exceptions the standard rail stocks sold slightly off their close. These. ex- ceptions were St. Paul and Reading, the former gaining % and the latter % of a point. The recessions, however, were emall, averaging about \%. Sugar was again the weak\spot in the industrials, and made another new low record since’| 1900 in the first half dozen sales. It Opened at 93%, % of a point lower than lis close, and in the fourth quotation was at 92%. f The liquidation in sugar was, of course, reflected in the other industrials, and they, too, sold down in the first half hour. N whess and irregularity marked the = beariy course of the market, and the 4 ~* ti@leations pointed ‘to still lower prices. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—12:33 p. m.— ‘the market closed with few changes from the opening quotations. The limit of gains and recessions did not reach % in any one security. Towurds the close the trading seins 4 Bs started closing its short contracts, This covering mov.ment carried prices i» some cases fractionally above Friday's close, but there were enough declines to make the result of the day irregulat, rnd the tone was dull.

« +. s How the Remarkable‘New Therapeutic Agent o/ &® ‘ Licht Takes the Place of Harmful Drugs in RN Surgery and Aids in the Cure of Many Dis- eases Without the Use o! the Knife. HE mysterious “blue ray,” that substitute for cocaine and chloroform in anesthesia, is now being employed in St. Louis. Strange as it may. seem, thé blue ray was one of the first to be discovered and one of the very latest to be put to use. No ray has yet been found but that some use could be made of it. For many years the blue ray eluded all attempts to confine it, and make it helpful, and as a result science almost despaired of ever finding in it any useful properties. Year after year experi- ments were carried on tn a half-hearted hope that at last some new property would be discovered. A quarter of a century of experimenting en- abled scientists to develop it and put it to a use. As’a result, today it is being employed in St. Louis te effect cures, as were never dreamt of before. 3 The invention of the therapeutic lamp has made the apptication of the blue ray easy and practical, and it is this lamp that is now being used in St. Louis. Dr. T. L. Wagener, in the [‘risco Build- ing, who handles the instrument, is an authority on the therapeutic lamp, and he himself uses it. One other physician in St. Louis, who has made a specialty of electricity in medicine and of light cures, is successfully operating the therapeiitic lamp. The therapeutic lamp is shaped like a bell, being more than a foot across the cup, and a foot and a half ™ height. It is swung on a pulley and balanced by weights. A wooden handle on the side is used to guide it, and to lower and raise it. ” An electric current is used for light, with a large platinum wire, instead of an arc for the source of light. Reflecto . are so arranged that the light falls over a wide area. The light waves not being of the same length, the light, when thrown on the wall or on any surface, is bother- some to the eye, something like sunlight falling k. heat from. the lamp is intense and can be patient is placed on an op- light, and the lamp is aca eh ‘a burning sensation, as would be produced from «@ match, and then the fiesh begins to deaden, soon there Ts a pronounced numb feeling. The blue ray has a multitude of uses. Any external disease can have the blue ray applied to it with benefit. This list includes career, eczema. bacterial baldness, erysipelas and boils. The treat- ment is very simple. Two or three times a week, as needed; the patient comes w the devior. The physician seats the patient, turns on the current and focuses the light on the ailing spot tor four five minutes. Some of the diseases can thus be cured without the application of the § nife or of the scalpel at all. The combined lights do the work. If the spot is only to be anesthetized it can readily be done so, and thus prepared for the other operations necessary. The advantage of the blue ray as how applied in St. Louis is a great boon to humanity. It is the only known agent in the world to take the place of the drug anesthetic. A drug anesthetic is always harmful in a certain measure. For instance, if an operation is to be performed and cocaine is placed on the injured part of the body, the pain is deadened, until the effect of the knife is not felt, but the wound will not recover as quickly as it otherwise would, for the curative properties inherent to the flesh have been de- stroyed. The wound first must overcome the evils of the drug before it can begin healing. Some lamps are so constructed that the rays, before they reach the spot intended, must pags through a blue liquid. The advantage of this is that the heat rays are absorbed, and when first applied the acute burning sensation is not felt. And the blue rays, too, are made purer, as the blue liquid absorbs many of the ultra-red rays. Only three of the rays from the spectrum have any marked effect on the body. These are the blue, the violet and the ultra-red rays. Each use is distinctive, and each fills a new field in the rapidly advancing science of electro-therapeutics. The blue ray is the only known ray that has the property of producing anesthesia, and hence is doubly valuable. The blue ray is capable of destroying germs, and wherever a germ may be located, if the biue ray is turned upon it, its death fs almost certain. As in so many instances, the smallest and seemingly most important things in the world bring about the greatest results in the way of discoveries and f@ invention. The discovery of the different rays was all due to medica) men wondering why it was that pure sunlight would cure disease. As early a8 1859 Dr. Charcot, a French physician, gave the opinion that chemical a rays were the cause of sunstroke. He began ex- perimenting with the rays, and his belief was confirmed in 1862 by Dr. Bouchard. For many years, and for centuries, it was thought that white light, or direct sunlight, had but one ray—the white ray. When by a prism the light was broken up into spectrum, wonders had been accomplished, it was thought. And what was more, rude spectroscopes showed that white light was composed of unequal parts of eight different rays. This was held as merely an interesting phe- nomenon for many years, when someone asked if the rays were good for anything. Then it was remembered that the open sunlight was a help and a partial cure for some of the simpler dis- eases. It was pointed out that a swamp was foul and poisonous due entirely to the absence of sun- light, that if it was drained and the trees cleared away so that it could be flooded by sunlight that it soon became healthful, or at least lost its bale- ful properties. So the sunbath was prescribed for invalids, without any clear knowledge as to how or why sunlight was able to bring about cures. When it was discovered that sunlight was com- posed of many different rays, it was at once asked: “Are all these rays equally helpful in curing disease?” Experimentation: led to the fact’ that the rays had different properties, and that some were baneful, some meritorious, and for some no imme- diate use was found. Dr. Niels R. Finsen of Copenhagen is called the father of the light cure. To him belongs the honor of developing the light cure and pointing out just what diseases were susceptible to rays, and how the rays could be applied and for what length of time. Dr. Finsen soon found a use for the red rays and, in fact, for all of them except the blue ray. He applied the red ray to rheumatism, varioloid and smallpox. Some degree of success marked his efforts. But he was not able to fathom the mystery of the blue ray. There was the blue ray, as strong as any of them, as easily produced, seemingly without a single use in the world. Dr. Finsen invented a machine for gatherink and using the ultra-violet ray, which is distantly related to the blue ray. It was done through elec- tricity. No glass could be used, as the light was again broken up, and some of the ultra-violet rays destroyed. So quartz was cut down to the thickness of glass and substituted. The plan was successful and the ultra-violet ray was put to work by using it on cases of lupus. In Denmark, the home of Drs Finsen, lupus, which is a kind of consumption that attacks the face and hands, and eats its way like a cencer, was cured by the use of the ray. The medical world was astounded when it was announced that this Danish physician had found a cure for the dread lupus vulgaris. In that climate it was the most feared of all the diseases. The 9B field. Why . i successfully ? Years were spent, fn trying’to ; Fut still the blue ray was without a use. It could be gathered easily enough, and seemed pow- erful enough, but something was lacking, some property yas yet undiscovered, and as a result the ray was the greatest mystery in the miedicat it that the blue ray could notive find an answer to this medical rebus. " And then Dr. Finsen discovered that the cause of it all was that the blue ray would not alone penetrate. All the other rays had thé power of penetration, but the blue ray of itself had not the ability to penetrate the slightest tissue. It had an effect on the outside of a tissue, but it would not sink to any depth at all. At the same time it was discovered that it had the power of an anesthetic. But since it could anesthetize only the barest surface its power was of no avail. How then to make it carry Into tissue was the question that next had to be met. and answered. It was known that the red and ultra-red rays had great carrying power, and so combining them was tried. The plan was successful; the other rays would carry the blue ray inside. the tissue, and then the blue ray would anesthetize. . It was then the “blue glass theory” was under- iamp Which Gives the Pain- history. Deadeuing Ray.

ROM an American girl in St. Louis to @ ™ Princess in the royal court of Baluchistan, in East India; from a laughing, care-free young woman in St. Louis to a quiet, shrinking creature, aidden by a heavy face veil in a far- away country; from pretty, talented girl to wor- shiped Princess—that is a chapter in the life- history of Miss Rose Schlueter. This remarkable step, or rather leap, in this young woman's life will be completed in Febru- aiy of next year. At that time the American girl, wife of Prince Ranji Smile, will be presented at the royal court of the Ameer of Baluchistan, in Fast India. On this occasion she will be wel- comed into the midst of a family that for genera- tions has been almost worshiped by millions of people, into a family in which there is only the bimest of royal blood, a family supposed by many of the people of India to be divine. Such is the triumph of an American girl. Fairy books have been built uy on just such a story—of a pretty girl sizhire «t the window, hoping that a fair young Prince would ride by on a charging steed end as: her to be his wife; the young Prince who rode by is Prince Ranji Smile, and the girl inside the window was Miss Rose Schlueter. Pieparations are now under way looking to- waid the reception that will be tendered the American girl. The display will be the most lav- fiah in the history of the court of Baluchistan. Cnly royalty will be invited, it being the most ex- clusive kind of reception. The royal castle of the Ameers at Khelat, in Valuchistan, will be the scene’ of the receiving. Scores of Invitations will be issued—but only to royalty. These invitations will go to princes and rincesses and to rajahs and punjots of other provinces In Bast India, such as to those in Af- Ganistan, Punjab, Hindoostan, and the lords. to the Viceroy and the high potentates from Eng- land. All India will join in the festivities. dia has a population of 300,000,000, or four times In-.

‘: on Ge ~, + nee . wis ° ce Fe} Se ee te How Princess Smile Will Enter the Royal Presence of the Ameer of Baluchistan. that of the United States, and ali of that vani em- pire will celebrate. All the Mohamredans will make it a special day of rejoicing, in honor of the new Princess that will be brought among them. While they themselves will never be allowed to see her, they will join in the general festivities of the day. It would be considered almost sacri- lege for the people of Baluchistan to gaze upon the new Princess. The hour for the receiving has already been set, although the day has not yet been deter- mined. When Prince Ranji Smile arsives in Khelat, the capital city of Baluchistan, he will take his wife to the korshat, or the building in which royal company from other provinces is entertained. ‘At the station she will be met by a party of natives bearing a sort of rickshaw, and with a robe completely enveloping her from head to foot she will be carried to the korshat, and taken inside without any of the natives gaining the faintest idea as to how she looks. In the royal guest chamber she will be kept until the hour of reception, surrounded by Ort- ental luxury. A diet fitting a Princess will be given, and a handmaid will teach her the uses of the rich anointments- that royal) persons apply, according to the custom of that country. At full noon of the appointed day, the rick- shaw again will carry the American girl to the royal palace of the great Ameer. On each side will march four soldiers, members of the Ameer’s bodyguard. At the steps of the palace, the Amer- ican girl will dismount from the rickshaw, as- sisted by her husband, the Prince. From the ‘door of the palace leading into the great state room are two lines of soldiers, all members of the Ameer’s retinue. The Princess will wear ¢ long, flowing gown, with the heavy face veil, but leaving her eyes showing. The soldiers cross swords, making a long triumphal arch, down which the Princess is escorted by her husband The arch leads to the throne of the Ameer. Prince and Princess will kneel at the royal throne, and remain kneeling until the great Ameer rises, ana then they will arise. In solemn gesture the Ameer will lift his left hand, the other clasping his scepter. And then the Prince will speak: “Oh, most noble and high ruler of Baluchistan, the Ameer, and son of my dear departed father, noble ruler, I come with a wife, begging that she be taken into the royal family. I would have you speak.”’ “Oh, brother, the Ameer will answer, ‘since a son of my father can do no wrong, I gladly accept this creature into the royal family and pronounce her a Princess.” The Ameer will seat himself, as a sign that he has given his consent, and the husband and the newly ordained Princess will walk backward down the arch of swords, for to turn the back, on the Ar:eer shows disrespect. Princess Smile will be shown to her chamber, and the Prince to a different one, and then all that day each will receive. Only men will go to see the Prince, and only women to see the Princess. On the second day the two will receive in the same room, ths

This Morning?” Cries the Idea y Huckster In this way there are always to be seen in certains periodicals advertisements putting forth that someone, for example,"has a stock of worka- ble original plots for either short stories or nov- els, and will sell them to a Mterary man by ai- rangement. There are even people who live by sending for a few dollars a printed list or orig- inal book titles. It might at first thouzht seem a somewhat doubtful action on the part of the literary buyer to publish such plets or tides as his own original talent, but it is pureiy a matter of dovetailing talent which may result in some- thing that the public would otherwise never en- joy. If any case, it is not the plot alone nowa- days which constitutes the book. In the literary direction, indeed, there is a good deal of brain buying done. Fresh ideas or themes are by nO means easy to invent in these days, and if a writer invariably waits for one to sug- gest itself he might, to use a slang term, have to “shut up shop.” Especially is this the case with the army of obscure litterateurs who write to order, and are expected to turn out o readable story or novelette every week. That plenty of euch writers are only tao glad to avail themselves of other meople’s brains in this way is prowyed by the fact that hundreds of people, with no thats ahitity of their own, can make a fair living by neocting and selling plots. One man for yeais bas earned $10 to $15 a weex by such means. “Sone-writer’s ghosts,” again, form a_recog- nized profession—in some cases a very lucrative one. Many music-hall ditties in England, for in- stance, are published as written by the persons who sing them and render them popular; but, as most people are aware, this is, from firs: to last, merely a matter of buying and using other peo- ple’s brains. Many of the ostensible authors have really had no hand in the writing of their songs; while, on the other hand, the real authors are not able to sing them; and so the arrangement might be said to cut happily both ways. Of course, there are a number of writers of inusic-hall songs who cam command credit. for their productions; but the majority are mere shadows so far as the public is concerned. The artiste pays the price they ask for their brains, and from that moment claims the originality of the idea as a matter of business. When it is SUNDAY MAGAZINE- ST. LOUIS taken into consideration that every p°ominent | music-hall singer receives scores of such offe s of ideas, every week, it becomes obvious tha: a large number of people must exist by loaning their brains in this connection alone. Nowadays, in short, there are brains “to let’’ in almost every groove. Half the patents that are applied for represent the brains of obscure | people who are engaged in concocting novel ics which are bought up by and credited to others who have the means of putting them on the ' market.

the gander,’ may do for 4 pair in a | floc.. of geese, but somehow the rule . fails to work satisfactorily with mankind. - ‘The “sauce for the goose” rule was the philos- ophy of a nupiial agreement made by and be- _ tween a young riarried society couple of Chicago _ efter several more or less serious marital misun- dco standings. In this case hubby (the gander) willingly consented that his wife (the gvose) _shouwid enjoy al the privileges and immunities in ' her conduct that her liege lord did. It was at a | time when he was seeking a reconciliation with » his better-half, who had left him because of his . alleged cruci:y and misconduct. He was ready to let her dictate her own terms and more, too, if she would consent io resume their former re- lstions. So anxious was he to regain the favor his wife that he offered to draw up a docu- mt of mutual agreement, which became known as the “sauce for the goose bond.” _ The pact this couple entered into was in the Tature of an “equal rights” declaration and con- tL, and by its terms the husband was to per- ra h he committed. The agreement provided in et terms ee equal privileges Which both were to Romy his fair acquaintances, her gentlemen friends. 4 hours, he would not com- | the same. vay cite enjoyed wjne dinners with his (riends, wi Soe re marine the mame rt ae Mrs. Wilson T. Burton so well the husband had it drawn up in legal phrase- clozy by a lawyer. And how long did this remarkable ‘equal rights pleased Mr. anc that pact” last? Just a week. Yes, the “gander” (Hubby Bur- ton) wearied in six days’ time of the liberal privi- leges he had conceded to his better-half. It was all right for him to go the rounds in Chicago and have a “gcod time,” but for Mrs. Burton to follow the example he set—well, it didn’t appeal .o him in practice as it did in theory. In the lat- ter sense it might be all right, and in that sense only, after the brief experience of one week. ‘‘Had the Time of Her Life.’’ In that short time the party of the “second part” in the “sauce for the goose” pact had the time of her life. It was a continuous rotind of pieasure, such us Chicago affords for the gay bon vivants of either sex. Late hours at her favorite club—the Woman’s Athletic Club—theater par- ties with gentlemen friends as companions; ex- pensive luncheons and wine dinners—at hubby‘s expense—with more gentlemen friends as her guests: automobile rides at $5 per hour, followed by costly dinners at some one or the cther of the numerous country clubs; and other “gay doings,” ell at the “gan'‘er’s” expense—proved too much for the originat-r of the “equal rights pact.” Mr. Burton tired of his bargain, wearied of his revel solution of domestic troubles in the Bur- tn househol!. He proposed to “cut out” all the gay and foolish pleasures he indulged in. to eschew his club, poker games, wine dinners with bis lady and gcntlemen friends, late hours, etc. Ir Heu thereof he expressed & derire to cultivate the joys of home life, the companionship of his wife, the comforts of their luxurious home and the society of their close friends. The wife should do the same, and both would be supremely happy. Mrs. Burton, impressed by ‘he plecs of bor hus-

band that he was earnestly desir- ous of ‘reforming,’ that he intend- ‘ed to be a good, kind and well-be- haved liege lord, consented to can- cel the “sauce for the goose” pact by tearing it up after it had been in force for six days. Things moved along smoothly in the Burton household for a few months. Mrs. Burton couldn't complain regarding her husband’s personal con- duct—it was exemplary—and his treatment of her he was very loving and considerate; in fact, colicitous concerning her comfort and welfare. He was home early in the evening—immediately at the close of business. He spent his evenings at home with his wife or took her to visit friends Or to the theater. This lastec a few months, during which time Mrs. Burton was really happy. But gradhal}: Hubby Burton resumed the habits of old—those ir vogue for hin. prior to the promulgation of the “equal right” pact. He would come in late, miss- ing dinner and giving evidence of having beer “out with the boys” and having had a good time. He pleaded pressure of business a8 the cause of his late homecoming, but Mrs. Burton suspected otherwise. A little quiet “sleuthing” on her part soon revealed to her that Burton had fallen into his old ways for the same old reasons. He kept late hours for p'easure, not business; he made the “rounds” at night with the same social cronies as of yore, going to the theater and wine dinners with the same friends. She Chided and He Grunted. To Mrs. Burton's gentle chidings he responded, she says, with ungracious grunts. The family jars were more numerous than ever before and the abuse the former “sauce for the goose” and “equal rights” advocat. heaped upon his loving wife be- came intolerable. So wretched was her existence that she had to leave his home, removing her trunks to the home of her mgther. Her cup of marital bitterness was full to overflowing. Several weeks after leaving her husband, that individual, apparently repen(ani. sought Mrs.

most persuasive tones, told the ill-used wife how penitent he w and pleaded with her to return to his roof and protection. But Mrs. Burton was made wise by expsrience—experience she had gained in previous reconciliations—and she knew how weak ~vere Burton's promises. No, indeed, she wouldn’t give him “just another chance,” for she knew we.l he could not and would not keep his word. How accurate her judgment was may be readily believed when it is said that as Mrs. Burton final- ly and firmly declin: | to return to live with her husband, that ex-champion of equal rights for narried couples flew into suc) a rege that he struck her and fied from the house. This act of Burton’s determined the wife to » ess her suit for divorce. In her bill of com- pant as filed in the Circuit Court, Mrs. Mary yuna —_——— eo — —— —_

THEY ASKED FOR A REDUCTION IN WAGES! © HERE is a general nelief that without ex- ception working people ‘desi.e above all things to have their wages increased, and many would possibly not credit the assertion that there are several instances on record where the wage earner has actually asked that his sal- ary be reduced. One case of the kin1d of recent date occurred at Paterson, where, at a meeting of the Tar Roofers’ Union, the members voted on & proposition to reduce thelr own pay 25 cents a day, to conform with the price paid to roofers in New York and other cities near by. When the votes were counted it was found that the majority of the roofers had voted in favor of the reduction, «ad the new scale of wages came into effect almost immediately afterwards. Tifis was the first time in the history of the local Puilding Trades Council that a union voted to reduce wages. But if unions are not very quick“ suggest a reduction of wages, the same cannot be said of private firms.

He felt sure that each and every one would work with increased ardor, ani that soon they would be back on the old footing This suggestion found favor with all, and the head of the firm—a man of 76—with tears in his eyes thanked his men for the confidence they had in him and dezlared that he would make it up to them ‘efore he was 2 year older.

The picture brought back by Miss Winnows of the brown beauty wht had ‘‘cut her out’’ CALIFORNIA girl recently passed through | one of those hard experiences in life used by the fictionist, after leading his hero and Heroine through many chapters of flowered ro- mance—with here and there some subtle sugges- tion or whetting phrase of ominous portent—to turn them out upon the dreary, wreck-strewn wastes of human misery where the problem be- @ins and the crucible of Fate determines the so- lution. This girl of the Golden State is a heroine, and, of course, where there is a heroine there is a hero —wunless the hero falls from his pedestal. That is just what the man in this case did—he fell. And now, it is reported, he is “on his knees.” But what did the California girl do? And what Well What would you do? Would you-—— If you crossed the !road Pacific to surprise your fiance, and, at your journe~’s cnd, fell into his strong, eager arms, responsive to his caresses and in palpitant joy, and then another woman— a dusky, dark-eyed belle of inferior blood—star- tled you out of your bliss by claiming him as her husband—— ‘Would You Turn From Him? Would you, even though he denied that the other woman was his wife, suppress your storm- ing heart, repress your scalding tears, and turn from him in scorn? Would you retreat within the sanctuary of your own heart, recross the wide, wide sea, avoid your friends and relatives, and seek consolation of philosophy and a living by your untrained hands among strangers? If you had loved him dearly enough to marry him, and thus found him indiscreet, untrue to his betrothal, would you take him away from the other woman, leaving her heart wounded and. curing yours with the balm of possession, and forgive him his fault? Or, would you flee from him as from some unclean monster, deprive him of the realization of his higher and better dream of your company through life, leave him to the dark beauty not of his heart but of his passion, humble him for his infidelity, and sacrifice your heart on the altar of womanly pride and self-respect? What would you do, if you could not smother the fires of love and devotion in your bossom, and with your knowledge of life and the sym- pathy born of that knowled.je and experience, still felt yourself drawn to him by the mysterious, welding force of affinity? Would you, if you still loved him, face the loss of your ideal, accept the unwritten law of man’s weakness and kingly license, resign yourself to “making the best of i.,” and find compensation in taking him to your heart, in forgiving him, and in trying by cling- ing to his strong frame in feminine expression of confidence to inspire him to noble life and that sane affection which knows no woman apart from the one of his )eart?

Two years ago she met Warren J. Featherstone, a handsome ycung graduate of an eastern university. He was broac-shouldered, deep- chested, strong-limbed, ath- letic—he was a_ promising- looking chap He was an ardent wooer, and he was as chivalrous and tender as he was devoted to the weaker sex. Miss Winnows invested him with all the manly qual- ities, and 3dored him as the ideal man of her schooldays’ dreams. She was young and romantic. Love flourishes under the soft skies of Cali- fornia, and soon the romance of these young people prog- ressed to betrothal. What man who, having won the heart and hand of a beautiful girl, does not aspire to fame and riches? Young Featherstone looked out from the Golden Gate westwara beyond the line of the hem- ispheres. Distance lent en- chantment. Ambition urged him. Fortune beckoned. A short time afterward, there were tears, endearing phrases, pledges, hand- clasps—a scene which outsiders should not look upon—and then the lovers parted. The hero of Miss Winnows’ heart sailed for the Philippines. The hero, sailing across the broad Pacific, thought of the fortune he was'to make, and the wedding in two years; and his heroine. at home, jreamed of the same thing. Dramatic Meeting—and Parting. At last, after the months ‘hat are as years to lovers when separated, the date neared for Feath- erstone to return and make the lovely girl of the Coast State his bride. All through these many months the mail steamers had carried back and forth love-packets that strained the postal rates. The girl, of course, hau set her heart upon a wedding in the midst of her friends in the orange-laden atmosphere of her beautiful Cali- fornia. But it became necessary for her to sur- render feminine desires, to deny herself this much of her dream. She met the demand like a true heroine, and to save her sweetheart the ex- pense and los of time of a trip from “Our Islands” in the East to the States, she decided to go to him... At this point, for some reason inexplicable to the girl, her mother opposed the union, but the girl’s love prevailed, the mother yielded. “Remember, Clarice,” said her mother, as she embraced her caughter on board the ship that was to take her to the remote islands, “if War- ren should = ot prove to be all that you believe him to be, you have a home and a mother.” Clarice laughed her mother’s fears away said good-by, and the ship sziled. But her mother’s words caused the girl some ar -ciety, and she re- read her hero’s letters. They breathed a spirit of love ~nd devotion. She put the letters away. satisfied, and determined to trust Warren rntil death. Now, she sailed a month in advance of the time he expected her. Ah, she planred to sur- prise him!

She was in the land where lovers in the evening lift their happy faces to the bright stars of the Southern Cross. She took a carriage, gave the driver her fiance's address, and was soon before nis door, where she knocked with some little trepidation, because it wasn’t just the home she had imagined he lived in. A woman whose skin reflected the bronze of a too-warm sxy irvited her inside. She went in, and asked for Mr. Featherstone. Her flance bounded into the room, and, oblivious of the brown woman’s presence, clasped Clarice in his arms, and she was utterly happy. Then, suddenly, the dark woman became furious. She rushed at them. She was a tigress. She clawed at them, and she cursed them in mu- tilated English. “This man,’ she cried, “is my husband!” Clarice was snocked. She was horrified. She was humiliated. She felt as if she would faint, but willed to b- strong. She looked into her Icver’s eyes. He hung his head.

But she had hardly begun her duties when she saw an old friend from San Francisco, and she fled through a side door and did not return For days she walked the streets, looking for work, and avoiding as much as possible the places where she might meet friends. Owing to the lack of a practical element in her education, she could not find employment. She began to de- spair.. She became thoroughly miserable. And then, when she had almost given up hope, she found a position as companion to & young mar- ried woman of affluence, and in that bome she is treated as a member of the famils.

Now, it is reported, her fiance will follow her to her new home, and there on his knees, beg her forgiveness, and if that is not immediately forth- coming, strive again to regain her confidence and her hand. It is reported that he is thoroug! ly re- pentant, that he is stricken with remorse. What will she do? Here is what she said when she found a hom in Seattle: “I was reduced to a choice between Starvation and appealing to my parents for aid. I lived a mont}. on bread and milk. I had no money for car fare. Every day the landlady fav- ored me with p frown. If I had been trained as some girls are trained, I could have found a po- sition. But you cannot imagine the utter help lessness of a young woman, raised in aristocratic circles, and with no accomplishments which she cen turn to account, when il) circumstances force her upon her own resources “After a month of the hardest rials I ever en- cured, I accepted my present position. The lady and her husband live in a smal’ home and she and I look after the household. She treats me 18 if I were a sister, and her busband is kind. Indeed, it is only the evidence of happiness in that home that redeems me from utter despond- ency and saves me from hatred for the entire male sex. If l am not now a bitter cynir, it is because of this example.” But will she forgive him?

“Newly Rich’’ Offered “$5,000 and Up” For In- _troductions to London Soc.ety---cAn “Ironmaster’’ and His Wife Were Will- ing to ““Part With’’ $10,000 to Bow Before the King ‘and Queen, and One Man Was Eager to “Put Up” £500,000

HE “newly rich” of Pittsburg, Pa., are so anxious to get into English society that ' 300 of them offered to pay from $5000 up- wards apiece for introductions to aristocratic houses in London. “A rich ironmaster and his- wife of Pittsburg Offered to pay $10,000 for a plain introduction to the King and Queen of Great Britain. They were not to meet socially the King or the Queen. They were simply ta, bow and scrape their way down a long room until they came within fair seeing distance of the royal pair, and then they were to wiggle backward, in “crawfish” fashion, out of the room. For this they were willing to pay This yearning of Pittsburg’s newly rich for the of Englana was discovered through the of a young man upon a charge of swin- diing. The young man nas been sent to the Workhouse for 30 days. He declares that he intended to do just what he promised, and that he had arrangements with aristocratic old fami- Oa Bs As ne Sy lies of Great Britain whereby they were to intro- duce American rich men and their wives and - @aughters into society and even to the King an ‘Quecs, and trat he was to divide with these titled families the money he collected from Amer- _- foan newly rich. “There's nothing crooked about the game,” as- _ gerts this young man. “I've worked it already in

| New York, Chicago and Buffalo. But now that Tm discovered my titled friends have deserted me and I'll have to go to Jail.” when the society of New York, Newport and the East went almost crazy over a member of the family of Sweden who visited there. An- ‘oof of it is given in this latest expose in

man who was to give Pittsburg fam- ilies the entree in- to exclusive British society. But the name he gave in Pittsburg was Reg- inald Spaulding. He was a real aris- tocrat himself, be- ing the impecuni- ous younger son of an old family, with an endless pedigree and little money. Five yearS ago, he eloped with and married Lady Muriel Suffield, daughter of Lord and Lady Suffield. They did not live long together, but she is yet his wife, and her father and mother, Lord and Lady Suffield, were to do the “introducing” of all the Americans he sent over to them. They deny that this is true. They say that Spaulding is a swindler. But one thing is sure, Lord and Lady Suffield are upon most intimate terms with King Edward ViI and his family. Lord Suffield was a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, was lord of the bedckhamber to the present King when he was the Prince of Wales, and is now permanent lord-in-waiting and aide- de-camp to His Royal Highness. His wife, Lady Cecelia. Annetta, is a lady of the bedchamber to Queen Alexandra. Charles, the eldest son, was groom-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, who stood sponser for him. Judith, a daughter of the Baron, was maid of honor in ordinary to Queen Vic- toria. Spaulding says of his scheme. “T violated no law in promising, as I did, -to introduce plutocratic Pittsburgers into the social circles of Grosvenor Square, the West End, and even to the Court of St. James. with presentaticns to King Edward and Queen Alexandra thrown in a. bargain rates. English nobility is impecunious ic an extent that can hardly be realized by you rich Americans, and it would be simply easy to have Pittsburgers get the benefit of the dull sea- son in London, tn May, June and July when the real people are in the Highlands on weekends or at their shootinz boxes. Why, even Lord and Lady Suffield, who hate me because of their daughter’s mesalliance, were willing to lend them- selves to the scheme—especially when one Pitts- burger offered $500,000 for his individual social. cempaign. It’s all nipped in tu.e bud now, I sup- pose.” Spaulding Cast His Lines. Spaulding began his campaign in Pittsburg by engaged the finest suite of rooms in the best hotel there. He then sent to 500 of the riches: families in Pittsburg and near»y towns the fol- lowing letter, aadressed in each instance to the rich man’s wife or daughter: “Dear Madam: I! beg to inform you that I am making a tour of the country arianzing with those who are desirous of being introduced into London society or at court. I am also thoroughly versed with all matters of finance in England and on the Continent. I shall deem it a favor if you will be good enough to advise me if you are interested in ai.y of the above-mentioned matters. If so, I shall be pleased to call and convey any particulars you may desire. I make no charge in any way, my remuneration to be determined hy the demands mude upon my influence, Very truly yours, REGINALD SPAULDING.” Spaulding received 300 answers to these letters from men and women who were willing to pay a price tor introductions to English society. Spauldiag’s scheme was spoiled ty a busincss

man whose wife had received one of these lette!s. She showed tne letter to her husband and begged him to give her the $10,000 demarided by Spauld- ing as the price of his introduction of her and her two daughters into the exclusive circles of British society. The husband had no such social aspirations and he turned the letter over to the Pittsburg police. The officers of the law scented a swindle in it and they crrested Spaulding. In the wait- ing room of his apartments when he was ar- rested were a dozen rich men and their wives, waiting to arrange wi'th Spaulding for their trips abroad and their meetings with foreign aristocra- cy. Thé police took the 300 letters from rich men and women and returned *hem to tne senders. The following letter, from a wealthy woman whose name is well Known in Pittsburg society, is typical of all of them: She Was in a Hurry. “Dear Sir: In answer to your .communica- tion of recent date, will say I will be pleased to meet you at any time to talk over the matter re- Would li! e to arrange the matter as We could arrange to sail in Jenuary, or sooner if necessary. Myself and two daughters would form the party. As to the re- muneration you shall receive, will say that any 1easonable demand you might make would be cheerfully satisfied.” Another letter, from the wife of a rich steel marufac urer, wes es follows: “If you can do what you say in your letter you cen do, I would be willing to pay you almost any price you may as‘. For a icng time my heart bas been set upon being presented at the court in Lordon, but I am not sufficiently well acquainted there, having only been abroad once. My daugh- ter, whose picture I inclose, is bent upon marry- ing a titled foreigner. If you could arrange that I should be willing to pay an agreed price, based upon the prestige of the title. I should be pleased to have you call and talk: the matter over.” Another letter was from a wealthy widow with two daughters. Spaulding had written her that for $10,000 and expenses, he would take her and “er two daughters to London and present them at court. * This widow is rather illiterate and she seems tc know little of social usages, but she is worth $3,000,000 and she has social aspirations. Her let- ter to Spaulding shows that she has a love of high-sounding titles: ‘‘My Daughters Are Marriageable.’’ “Dear Mr. Spaulding: 1 accept your proposi- tion to present me and my daughters (two) at the court of Edward 7th, King of Great Britain and Ireland, Emperor of India, and also his wife, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, for which I agree to pay you $10,000. Now, Mr. Spaulding, I want to say further that my two daughters are of a mar- riageable age and if you succeed in bringing about the marriage of one or both of them to titled aristocrats I would be willing to pay well for aforesaid se~vices. I could fix the price with you if you w::: call. We could fix a sliding scale of prices, |. agreeable to you, the higher the title the more pay. I want to impress upon you the necessity of keeping this thing secret, as I don’t care to be placed in the light of paying men to marry my daughters.”’ The police ‘earned that one millionaire was to pay an incredible sum for the presentation of himself and wife at court and into West End society. Another was to pay $00,000 for the pre- sentation of his wife end daughter. The police figured up that if Spaulding had gone on unmo- lested and had collected all the money promised him he would have made upwards of a million collars in Pittsburg. Spaulding inserted in the Pittsburg papers this advertisement: “Wanted—Young man, with $200 or $500, for position of trust: must he neat and prepared for foreign travel with emplover.”’ He received a great many letters in answer to this. To all of them he wrote that he was a mem- ber of. an aristocratic English family and that he wished to engage a man as secretary. The secretary must put up $500 for the place and must pay the expenses of both of them while traveling, and in return Spaulding would intro- duce him into the best titled society of Europe. Surprising as it may seem, yet it is a fact that several rich men were anxious to secure this position. ‘“She Is Anxious to Go Abroad.’’ A millionaire of East Liberty, near Pittsburg, wrote the following letter to Spaulding in answer tc his proposal to take him and his wife abroad: “Dear Sir: 1. came home last evening and fa'ised it all over with my wife regarding the proposition you hed made to me, also fully ex- plained to her of my absence from home at dif- ferent times. She is perfectly willing for me to aceept, and seems anxious to go avroad. We shall meet you at the hotel at 3 o'clock Sunday, ferred to. juickly es possible. end I do sincerely hope, Mr. Spaulding, we shall be able to close with you and also assure you that I will do my best at any and all times to as- sist you.” An official of a large coal company wrote ne would take the place and give as much more than $500 as might be required. The teller of a bank at Loudenville, O., agreed to give $1500. There was another from an employe of the American Ex- rress Co., written on the stationery of that com- pany and under the address of 65 Broadway, New York City. When Spaulding was arrested he was indig- rant. He said: “IT can’t see for the life of me why you have ar- rested me. I came to America and to Pittsburg on a legitimate enterprise, which I am ‘ully able was spectacular. He served in the British Army in the Transvaal campaign against the Boers and there met Lady Muriel, daughter of Lord and Lady D'Arcy Suffield. She was serving as a volunteer Red Cross nurse. She fell in love with him. They ran away together, were mar- ried and lived upcn a ranch she bought in South Africa. In 1903 he and a few hundred armed men went upon an expedition into the African bush to found a kingdom there, but the Kaffir chief drove them off. He then became a card sharp, swindled a lot of persons in a diamond mine he pretended to own and was forced to fige from South Africa. He and his wife returned to Eng- land and there she left him. He had already becn discarded ty his family and he began a life of adventure and swindling.

She has been unable to par it back since, and she told me that if I knew of any rich Americans who wanted to enter English society, or who wanted to be intro- duced at court, she would make the presentation, in lieu of the money she owed me, I to make out of it what I could. It was on this proposition that I came to Pittsburg.” Spaulding was sentenced to 30 days in the Workhouse. Spaulding came to America last summer and took a position in a large store in New York as an expert salesman of Oriental rugs. His salary was $200 a week, paid him because. of his knowl- edge of rugs and because of his fine air of good breeding. .“TIt was beastly vulgar work, doncherknow, but I stood it for a fortnight because I was low in cash,” he said. Next he arranged with the Park Commissioners of New York to put luxurious Morris chairs in the public parks and charge a fee for sitting in them. He tells of the failure of that scheme: “On the second day of my scheme the deuced common people, who pay the taxes that support the parks insisted on occupying the seats without paying. I had my bally bobbies, doncher know, to bounce ’em, but a New York paper came out and cuestioned my right to pre-empt the parks. Judge Fitzgerald, then recorder, gave an _ injunction against me and I lost every cent I had in the world.” ’ The police say that from: New York he went to Buffalo and Chicago and in both cities swin- died rich persons cut cf money upon his promise (o introduce taem to British society.

“ He ouduenly —--@ How the “Real Thing’ in Evening Ciothes Hobnobs With the Guests at Exclusive Weddings, Balls and Receptions, but Keeps Hs “Tel- escopes’’ on the Silverware and the Presents HERE is one man in St. Lonis T who attends nearly all of the functions given by the fash- jonuble sets, and yet his name i: neve: seen in the society columns. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? And vet there's nothing peculiar about it. Hie can be seen at every exclusive wedding, at balls and _ receptions where much jewelry and silverware a‘e displayed, hobnobbing with the fues’s in evening dress, looking for ail the world like one of the “crowd,’ and vet he is not there by invitation \ Strikes you as kind of fishy, eh?. ‘Well, it’s the truth. ? The one referred to is “Darby” Q'Brien, society detective on Chief mith’s staff. “Society detective” is not O'Brien's real title, but it ought to be. He is assigned to all the gath- erings where the services of a detect- ive are considered to be quite the proper thing. “Darby” has an even- ing outfit that greatly becomes his manly form, and when he is “dressed up” he is the “real thing” No one would ever suspect him of being a de- tective. The duty of the society detective is chiefly to watch the costly presents at weddings. He strolls about among the guests, stops here and there to talk to some of the other gentlemen, but he always keeps his eyes on the gifts. O'Brien says there is no “Raffles” in St. Louls. He ought to know. He is qualified to speak on the subject. He says he has never had occasion to mate an arrest. He wouldn't arrest a guest if he did happen to see the guest “lift” one of the presents, he says. He would merely follow the guest to a secluded spot-in the house, tap him on the shouider and whisper into his ear that soniething had “ac- cidentally fallen” into the guest's pocket, and thus avoid a scene. He _®ays it would be bad policy to arrest = @ guest. The host or hostess would ies not like {!, and there would not be .

The most brilliant wed- ding reception of the season was in progress. The guests numbered mem- bers of St. Louis’ most exclusive fam- ities. Suddenly a cry of fire caused a panic among the guests. Men and women ran into the street. In a few minutes the house was deserted by all save one. One man remained behind. He did not seem to be in the least perturbed. When the excitement be- ean he was standing near the table on which the magnificent gifts were lving. He did not look at the guests in their hurried fiight. His whole at- tention was centered upon the gift table. He was the society detective— not “Darby” O’Brien, but someone else. “At the celebration of the marriage of Miss Anheuser and Dewey Licey. ‘he Hot Time minstrel, which was } very fashionable affair, I was made the butt of a harmless li-ile joke practiced by a weli-known business man.” said O’Brien. ‘“‘The gentleman was talking with several friends, when he suddenly picked up an ex- quisite jewel from the gift table. ‘This would look nice on my wife,’ he said. ‘l believe I'll just give it to her as a present.’ Then he placed the jewel in his pocket. He did not smile, and while I was positive he was only jok- ing, I could not keep from being nerv- ous, thinking that he might forget. | was turning the thing over in my mind and planning what to say to him, when he suddenly turned about, and facing me, saia: ‘Oh, 1 beg your pardon, I didn’t know you were in the reom.’ Then he placed the jewel ‘ack on the table and he and his friends had a luugh at my expense. The whole thing was done just frr a joke, but it had me going some for a while. You can never tell how far those kind of jokes might go.” Detective Richard ,Joyce, who, on several occasions substitutes fon O’Brien as socieiy dctective, appeared hefore the Police Board once for ac cepting $5—a tip—from the hostess of a big reception, without § going t\hrongh the manual formality of get- ‘(in@permission from the Board. It developed at the hearing that Joyce had spent $2 for a dress shirt, $2 for a pair of white gloves, $1 for a white vce and a few dollars more for other odds and ends required for the as- signment. The real joke on Joyce, however, was not the reprimand he received from the Board, but the fact that two uniformed patrolmen who stood guard in front of the house dur- ing the reception, and who did not have to give out any money to look nice, each received a tip of $10. Notable social events at which the society detective was present include the reception given in honor of the marriage of Mayor Wells’ daughter to Mr. Street, the house-warming given by Charles W. Nugent when he opened his new residence, the wed- ding of Miss Devoy and Mr. Hein- richs, a wedding at the Moon resi- dence and the reception given at the Riesemeyer home on Hawthorne boulevard on the occasion of Miss Adele Riesemeyer’s marriage to Paul Croeninge! T’S Jim—not James T. The old family Bible back in Hardin County, Ky., might give it ag James T., but several thousand St. Louis society people say that it ig Jim, and that settles it. The rest is Cole, which isn’t so important. Jim Cole, the greatest ‘front door- man’”’ in the West, the best-known de- scendant of Ham in St. Louis. is he major domo of Missouri society. Definition of ~front doorman” as found in the society thesaurus’ The attendant who takes his position at the door through which the guests enter at an elaborate social function. whose cuty it is to open the door, welcome guests and to keep out the uninvited. The duties of a_ front doorman sound easy, and almost trivial, but from the fact that there is but one man in all St. Louis who can do them satisfactorily, it may be judged that it is pretty hard to acquire the techxique of an accomplished guard- er of the door to the socia: land. Jim has made a profession for himself and stands in it without a rival. For 35 vears Jim Cole has been the official major domo of many of the mo:* respected. families in St. Louis. He has guarded the door at christen- ings, with shiny, expectant face, and then, for the same person. has fas- tened the back doors for the funerai processic™. He has waited on three generations, in christenings, mar- riages and deaths. Among the aristocracy of St. Louis ‘ot to know Jim Cole argues one’s self unknown. He is final authority on the sacred inner circle, knowing more of its secrets, its glories, its shortcomings than many of the elect themselves. But as to confidences that have been intrusted in him, his lips are sealed. He has the profound- est respect of all the leading hosts and hostesses of St. Louis. Nearly every one of the “quality” call him by his first name, and ‘respect him as they do no other of-his race in St. Louis. Jim Cole knows the _ faces and names of more of the blue book gran- dees than anyone in St. Louis, not excepting the best entertainers them- selves. It is a source of pride with Jim that he never forgets a face, nor the name that goes with it. Itis a part of his duty, and he does his duty well. A St. Louis hostess would as soon think of giving a private music: withcut music as she would of en. taining without Jim Cole. There is something lacking that is hard to de- fine. When a guest enters, finding Jim Cole at the front door, with his cheerful smile, and elaborate man- ners, he knows that all is well and that the evening will be a joyous one. Jim’s intrinsic value may not be so high, but he lends a spirit to the party that is nct given to it by any other doorman. 4 & “Big Pe-don, But I Think Some Spoons Gct Caught in Your Sleeve.” This Accomplished Son of Ham, “the Greatest Front Doorman in the West,” Has Been Present at Three Gener- ations of Marriages, Christenings and Deaths w& He Originated the Idea of Numbers for Carriages row does Jim Cole look?

Jim Cole is the personification of politeness . By reason of his profes- sion, he must know all the latest so- cial requisites, what is permissible and what has the-stamp of the prole- tariat jn manners. His own are a quaint combination of correctness and older and more eiaborate manners. They are p'teasing and not nega for- gotten. How old is Jim Cole? This no one knows. He is just a little bit sensi- tive about his age; outside his fam- ily none knows except one insurance ‘gent, and he has pledged himsélf. A close observer would probably list hi anywhere between 50 and 65. «! naintains that number of years co. .c nothing if one still has the other qualifications. In 1862 Jim Cole came to St. Louis, poor and un- known. For some time he was a porter, and becoming dissatisfied, he learned the barber business, and has since had that as a profession. He now has a barber shop in Locust street; his outside work takes up so much of his time that he does little more than make his barber shop his office. Jim Cole has a neat little home at 3957 Finney avenue, where he lives quietly with his wife and his young- est daughter, a g‘rl of 19. He has three daughters, one son and two grandchildren. One of his girls is an actress and is now playing with a Southern stock company. His wife was Virginia Cox, daughter of a rich ~Outherner; she inherited some St. Le uis property. Thirty-five years ago R. H. Taylor, in an emergency, came ts Jim Cole end asked if he would help serve t a wedding in Chouteau aven®: Jim told him that he knew nothing at out the ins and outs of a preten- tious wedding, but expressed his will- ingness to try his hand. He made a success and has since been making successes at the samo kind of work. At first Jim was merely a,helper at affairs, serving as a waiter and gen- *2ral assistant, but now he has risen to the dizzy height where he goes out only on special occasions and con- fines- his work to guarding the en- trance coor. Jim Cole is a member of the St. Louis Caterer Waiters’ Association, which he o-ganized. It. has a mem- bership of 4°. and the members serve only the most exclusive gatherings. They are the aristocrats among the waiters. The honor of originating numbers ior carriages is attributed to Jim Vole. More than thirty years ago, when he was still an apprentice, he hit upon the scheme of having the man who helped the guests ont of SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST, LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER 15, 1997 number, and the min ir the rig a corresponding number, so that the guest, when he wished to teave, could merely give his check to the doorman and have his carriage called. The scheme was a success and now has world-wide vogue. Jim knows personally all the per- sons in St. Louis who are apt to be guests at such an occasion, and as a : gult can easily detect an outsider. All reporters have to run the gaunt- let of Jim Cole. “T know all the detectives in town,” said Jim Cole, in talking over his responsibility to his host or hostess. “They all know me, and when one is sent out by the Bureau | Introduce him to the man of the house as Spe- cla] Agent So-and-So. No one else knows of his mission, and as he is in evening dress he is treated like any of the guests. “At weddings, when there are valu- able gifts in the display room, we have to be especial'y watchful.

IVE political prisoners, one of them a girl, Tr have escaped from the fortress of SS. Peter and Paul. This seemingly super- human feat has filled the city with amazement and political circles with apprehension, for no other prison is so secure, no other is so closely guarded, as this grim fortress on the banks of the Neva. How they managed to escape the cordons of police, gendarmes and warders; above all, how they made their way through the multitudinous doors and along the labyrinthian passages and corridors of the great prison, is a deep mystery. There must have been at least a score of officials of various grades assisting them, but although the most rigorous investigation has been pro- ceeding for more than a week, nothing has come to light to give the slightest indication of the persons who have betrayed their trust. The five prisoners were two brothers named Goloshtchanoff, the elder of whom had been an olficer in the Army of the Caucasus, the other a mining engineer in Moscow; a Moscow chen- ical siudent named Savin, a bank clerk named Gavriloff and a woman of 30 named Sasha Voro- bieffa, who had been a laundry maid. The broth- ers Goloshtchanoff are presumed to have ar- ranged and carried out the escape and to have spun the threads of connection with the prison officials who aided them. The story of these five persons is worth look- ing at. It goes back to those unruly days immedi- “ately after the Japanese War, when the Cau- casian provinces were tn a disturbed condition, and Tartars, Armenians and Georgians were each fighting on their own land. The Caucasian Ni- hilists at the time were very busy recruiting among the excitable semi-Oriental youth of these provinces and also among the officers of the Army of the Caucasus. One of their most influential Vorobieffa, the Petersburg, who had been to corrupt laundry maid of St. ihe army.

This she expected and for this she was pre- pared. She invariably informed the infatuated officers that if they promised to join the people’s side on any outbreak and pledge themselves to abstain from firing on the mob when the word of command to do so was given, she would con- sider the matter of their love suggestion. One officer after another gave these assurances, and, as their word was not enough for Sasha, they made their promises in writing. It was discov- ered afterward that she had received more than tifty of these promises from officers in all branches of the service. Naturally no indivdual officer knew that the other officers were involved. With these promises in her possession, or in that of walking down the Golovinsky prospect. Inquiries were set on foot. Sasha Vorobieffa and Golosh- techanoff were arrested, so was tre hysterical Savin, so were Golosh.ichanoff’s brother in Mos- cow and the bank clerk, CGavriloff, and a score of others. They were all broughi to St. Petersburg and lodged in the Tubets‘oi bas.ion of the famous SS. Peter and Paul fortress piison. After 10 days in the basiion Sasha and her companions were removed to the interior of the prison, and it was from fhese interior regions that they have just made their escape.

It is difficult to see how the plot could go on without discovery, but go an it did. One of the first officers who fell under the influence of Sasha Vorobieffa was Golostchanoff. Under her teaching he became a convinced revolutionary and set about agitating for the reform of society on revolutionary lines. He began an active corre- spondence with his most intimate friends with the object of egnverting them to the views of the Nihilists. Two of his first converts were his young prother in Moscow and the bank clerk Gavriloff. Numerous letters from the elder Go- loshtchanoff and Sasha were found in their pos- session when they were arrested. As the St. Petersburg Revolutionary Committee was pressing for “deeds,” Sasha and one or two of her most trusted friends set about looking for a man of technical knowledge who could manu- facture bombs. After some searching they found him in the chemical student, Savin, a pale, hys- terical youth of the Tiflis Technical School: The readers of the Sunday Post-Dispatch can easily guess the rest. One of the police tyrants of Tidis was blown into a thousand fiagments as he was which the world will never know—and perhaps this is well, Alexis, the son of Peter the Great, was inte:ned within its gloomy casements, and it was here that his father visited him previous to his sudden and mysterious death.

Miss Gertrude des Roche. Ankle an Indian Prince Clasped a $5000 Bracelet of Gold and Precious Stones, After Hie Had Taught Her the Dance of the “Shining Water’ An Oriental . Romance of Strange ‘IS HIGHNESS PRINCE MIO-JUNG of In- dia has declared that Miss Gertrude des Roche of New York has the most beau- tiful foot in the world. And the metropolitan artists, too, though not so extravagant in praise, say she has a perfect foot. Prince Mio-Jung fell in love with this Ameri- can girl’s foot, wanted to marry her for—her foot. But—well, she didn’t care for an Indian Prince. Still, the Prince was so enamored of her foot that he clasped a beautiful jeweled anklet about her ankle, and threw away the key. Now, perhaps, when Miss des Roche says, “My foct is my fortune,” she does not imply that she has made her fortune, but is speaking of the anklet, which she says is worth $5000. Today the Sunday Post-Dispatch reproduces on this page a photograph of Miss des Roche’s foot, bearing the jeweled anklet, and another picture of her foot in her 2B shoe, and the read- ers of this magazine may decide for themselves whether the Prince and the New York artists are right. It will be a dreadful shock to people who are influenced by traditions, to learn that Miss des Roche was once a Chicago girl. Yet it was not until after she went to New York that the ro- mance of her life really began. Her family was well-to-do at the time and she was privileged to follow her own inclinations, as to study and di- version. She loved music, but she loved dancing more, and when, two years ago, she went abroad with a party of young women, she had in mind to frd some means of studying to dance.

Miss Des Roche rumpled her pretty red hair and curled up on the white bear rug thai covered her divan, and her eyes sparkled like those of one who is teiling an amazing fairy tale. “After much bowing and salaaming by the Indian at- tendant,- she con‘inu:d, “) was told that the P.ince had sent the elephant to convey me to his residence, where I would be instructed in the dances of India. It seemed just lixe a siory

Miss des Roche’s 2B Shoe. It was an educational trip for the young wom- en, and they were to have studied music in Paris, Milan and other cities. But Miss des Roche was thinking more of dancing than music. When in London the party separated she and her aunt started for India. “On arriving in Bombay,” she says, in telling the story of her adventures, “we found some *tiends who had gone there and embarked in business. They introduced us to English and Tndian society, and we met some of the native ' &ristocrats. “One day, out riding, I noticed a young man in @ ricksha~’ looking at me. On several other oc- casions I saw the same young man, and by the number of his attendants I knew him to be a per- son of distinction. I asked my English friends ven “” Paty emiptlog said he was Prince Mio- : Delhi, b oath 4 ut was on a visit to “Not long after that I met him at a soiree and we became good friends. 1 told him that | wented to learn some of the real Indian dances, ‘not the imitations we

from the ‘Arabian Nights,’ and I sat for 15 minutes staring at the kneeling servant, who was dressed all in white linen from his head to hi feet and ,beturbaned with white and silver. Afte) waiting patiently, he said: ‘Is the gracious Ame: ican lady, with the mouse’s foot and the moon light hair to ride to the Prince?’ “I mounted the elephant by means of a lit- tle ladder that was placed for me, and there | was, riding @ Prince’s elephant, with his own at- tendants escorting me! Two runners opened the way in front of us, and all the people saluted, for they knew the elephant belonged to one of the no- bility. “Oh, it was splendid!” And the bright eyes of this pretty model dancer snapped with delight. “I would just like to live that way always. “When we came to the temporary residence of the Prince—a beautiful house of white marble. carved like filigree—dark-skinned, bricht-eyed servants, all in white, received us. The floors were marble, with wonderful divans and drap- eries, soft, tinkling fountains: birds singing and heavy, sweet incense pervaded the air. “Prince Mio-Jung was having his tea when | and my chaperon arrived. When he finished we went through the gardens of the place and all over the little palace. He told me that bis home in Delhi was far more beautiful, but this was the

“ There,’ He Said, ‘You Must Always Wear That.’” ‘“‘When we returned to the house the Prince clapped his hands and a beautiful Indian girl ap- peared. She was lithe and supple and undulating as she glided toward us. She didn’t seem to walk, but just floated toward us, and I thought of a lotus flower swaying on its long stem. “The Prince told her that I had come to learn to dance, and that she was to instruct me. She was not to tire me, but to teach me his favorite dance—that of the ‘Shining Water’—because my hair would just fit in with the harmony of the music. “I went with the girl, and she called women to disrobe me and dress me in some gauzy, glitteving clothes. These were put on me, for I never could have found the way to get into them; then slen- der, golden chains were hung round and round my neck and over my arms and anklets were put on above my feet. My hair was taken down, and

I was much confused, but when the music from some reedy instruments began and the tom-toms added their mysterious, fascinating, almost hypnotic, beat to the music, | completely fo got my feet and my Ouiental garb: and the chains and tiny cymbals all seemed a nec- essary part of the lesson. “How I learned that dance I don’t know. I don’t believe anvone every knows how she learns an Oriental dance—which does not consist of steps, but of swayings, turns and leaps. When that little Indian girl took my hand and began to sway gracefully in rhythm with the music |! caught the movement as though I had always known it. “The lesson lasted three-quarters of an hour, and when it was over I was not in the least fa- tigued. When 1 left the Prince’s house again in my American clothes, I felt as exhilarated as though I had come from the hands of a masseuse. “That day was a wonderful day. I rode home on the elephant; I was living in a fairy land, as happy as such things can make one. I! had not been in the house more than half an hour when there appeared the Prince’s confidential man to acquaint me with the fact that the Prince had fallen in love with me and wanted to marry te! He had fallen in love with my feet, the attendan' said! “Think of it! I had heard of men falling in love with a woman’s eyes or hands or hair, but never had I heard of a man’s proposing to a wom- an because he had watched her feet as she danced. “So, the day was complete, I had ridden the elephant, been robed in Oriental] costume by serv- ants of a Prince, been instructed in ‘the Dance of Shining Waters’ by his Nautch girls, and now he was asking me to marry him-—because my feet were pretty!

“I thing the messenger thougat me tremendous- ly peculiar, for when I tried to explain to him that I did not love the Prince, he said that really didn’t macter at all. Wher I told him that we American girls were not given to marrying men just because they thought our feet pretty, he said that was better than not being thought pretty at all. Ee said the Prince would be very ill over my refusal, for he had thoroughly set his heart on —my feet! That was amusing. “After ‘hat I went to the Prince’s house, al- ways or the elephant, always with the same cere- mony, many, many times. He was always won- detfully respectful, and one day said that he would go to America and study and try to make a good American of himself, in principles, if I would consider his suit. But why give him en- cou agement .when—when—well, of course, it was too impossible! “After we had been in India about three months, 2nd the rainy se..son had come on, we decided to ‘eturn to London. The day before we left the Prince sent vor. that he wished to see me dance once again before | left. After all his kindness | could not refuse, so I went to his residence, where I danced and danced and danced until, when |! slipped down on the divan for tea, I was tired out. Then that charming Prince produced a beautiful! anklet of gold filigree, set with turquoise, jade. tiny emeralds and enamel, and, slipping it around my ankle, turned a tiny gold key and threw the key into the fountain. “*There,’ he said, ‘(here now, you must always

The Buffalo's New ‘Hottie In HE great national game reserve in the Unit- ed States just opened in the Wichita Mountains in Southwest Oklahoma, west 1 Lawton, is now the new home of the buffalo. Fifteen head of fine buffaio «beie hOW are the gift of the New York Zovivsicai Garden. The idea of a Southwestern national herd, founded by a gift from the New York Zoological Society, originated with Dr. William T. Horna- day, director of the Zoological Park, and from its earliest mention it was warmly indorsed hy the Executive Committee of the society. This offer was made to the Secretary of Agriculture, who at once accepted it and invited the society o select a site for the new fenced range that would be necessary. J. A. Loring, a special agent, was sent by the society to the Wichita Forest Reserve and, with the aid of E. F. Morrissey, the supervisor, made a careful examination of the whole available territory. He agreed upon a location containing 7680 acres and duly mapped it out. This was submitted by Mr. Loring to the society in an elaborate and thorough report, which was transmitted to the Agricultural De- partment and later to Congress. Secretary WHl- SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS son was successful in securing a special appro- priation of $15,000 for the erection of a wire fence to inclose 12 square miles of range, mostly moun tains, and to erect corrals, sheds and hay barn All these improvements are now nearing com- pletion. All the improvements were planned by Mr. Hornaday, and the animals for thé nucleus were carefully selected by him. In this later under- taking he was assisted by his cousin, William H. Hornaday, Department Commander for the G. A. R. of Oklahoma, who essisted in picking the head of the herd—a 6-year-old bull, which is a most docile animal, and has béen ‘hristened by the society as “Comanche.” The’ 16 members of the herd run in ages from yearling calves to the head of the herd. The berd is composed of six breeding cows, one big bull, “Comanche,” 5 years old and master of the herd; one bull 3 1-2 years old, two bulls anc one cow in third year, one bull and one cow in second year and one nair of calves, male and female, 6 months old. Four different strains of blood are repreBented in the herd, and there wil! be no'hihge to fear fo. in- breeding. Although the animale ate in fue the Southwest condition, the officers of the New York Zoologica! Society know that the only sure way by which the American bison cen be preserved in full vigo: for the next two centuries, or longer, is by estab- lishing herds under national and State owner- ship on public lands, in ranges so darge and so diversified that the animal will be wild and free. Under such conditions, Dr. Hornaday declares that no !1l cffec’s from inbrecding ever need be feared. From this tiny nucleus, just large enough, nat- uralists say, to es‘:blish normal breeding condi- tions, it is hoped o develop a form of half-do- mestic animals whose divided aggregations may total in a gene:ation or ‘wo a8 many as in days of yore.

CHAPTER I. An Affair of Baffling Simplicity. T PARIS, one gusty autumn evening, | Was A enjoying the twofold luxury of meditation and a meerschaum, in company with my friend, C. Auguste Dupin, in his little back library, au troisieme, 38 Rue Dunot, Faubourg St. Germain. For one hour at least we had maintained a profound silence. For myself, I Was yrentally discussing cer- tain topics which had formed matter for conversation cariier in the evening—I mean the affair of the Rue Morgue and the mystery attending the murder of Marie Roget. I looked upon it. therefore, as a coin- eanapes. ‘whee we received a call from our old ac- Prefect of a he had come to consult us, or, rather, to pb toe opinion of my friend—about some official € 6 ‘ 7 es gue sag which had occasfoned a great deal of yee in the assassination way?’ “Oh, no. The business is very simple, and I make no doubt that we can manage it ourselves. But then I thought Dupin would like to hear the details of it because it is so exceedingly odd." “Simple and odd,’’ mused Dupin. “Why yes—and not exactly that, either. The fact is, we have all been a good deal puzzled be- cause the affair is so simple, and yet baffies us _ altogether,” “Perhaps it is the very simplicity ef the thing which puts yoy at fault,” said my friend. ‘‘Per- the myster:" is a little too self-evident.” The Prefect laughed heartily at the idea. Then he itt & pipe, and, after cautioning us that the affair the greatest secrecy, eee with his istatenzent of the case. - “I have received personal information,” he be- ran, “from a very high quarter that a certain doc- ument of the utmost importance has been purieined from the Poyal apartments. The individual whe purleined it is known beyond a doubt. He was seen te take it. And it stil) remains in his possession.” “How is this known?” asked Dupin. “It is clearly inferred from the nature of the doc- ument, and from the non-appearance of certain re- suite which would at once arise from its passing out of the robber’s posseasion—that is to say, from nis employing it as he must design in the end to employ it. = may ven: ire so far as to say that the paper sheet ite holler a certain power in a bg quarter where such power is immensely ‘The Prefect was fond of the cant of diplomacy. “The disclosure of the document,” he continued, “to a third person, who shall be nameless, would ee bring ‘n question the henor of a personage of the most exalted station, and this fact gives the holder of the document an ascendancy over the illustrious personage whose honor and peace are so jeopard- . “But this ascendancy,” [ inierposed, “would de- pend upen the robber’s know!le@ge of the loser's ‘3 _ knowledge ef the rebber.

At this juncture enters the other, and continues talking abo.t public affairs. A tew minutes later, in taking leave, he absent-mind- edly picks up the wrong letter. The lady notices his pretended mistake, but dares not call attention to it in presence of the third personage, standing at her elbow. Soe the Minister D—— carries off her letter, leaving his own—one of no importance—upon the table.” “Here, then,’ sald Dupin, “to me, you have pre- cisely what is demanded to make the ascendancy complete—the robber’s knowledge of the loser’s knowledge ef the robber.’ “Yes, and the robber is already making dangerous political use of the power thus attained. The per- _sonage ‘victimized is in. despair, and she has com- mitted the matter to me, as Prefect of Police.’ “The letter, clearly, must be still in the Minis- ter’s possession, as ft ts this possession, and not any actual employment of the letter, which gives him his power over the lady.”’ : “That is the idea upon which I have ; oceeded,”’ said the Prefect. “My first care- was to search the Minister's residence hotel, which I was enabled to do without arousing his suspicion, as he keeps but few servants and is frequently absent from home all night. I have keys, as you know. with which I can open any chamber or cabinet in Pe~'s For three months I have been engaged, personali., every nignt, in ransacking D——’'s house.

Nor does he carry it upon hia person for he has been twice waylaid, as if by footpads, and rigerousiy searched under my own in- The Prefect, at our request, detailed the particu- lars of his investigations. “Tt teok the entire building, room by room. We examined all the furniture of each apartment, and opened every possible drawer—I presume you know that, te a properly trained police agent, such a thing as a secret drawer is impossibie. We probed the chair cushions with needles, took the tops off the tables, Inepected all jointé rungs and bedposts, looked behind mirrors and picture frames, through wardrobes, bedding and curtains and under carpets. We divide the entire space and surface of the house into compartments, which we numbered, so that none might be missed. In short, we made a micro- scopic search of each individual square inch of the premises, including the two houses adjoining. We even took the grounds, outside, which are paved with brick—the moss between the bricks was undis- turbed."’ “Did you try the boeks in the library?” “Certainly—turned el every leaf in each volume and scrutinised covers and bindings. We tried the paper on the walls. We also went through the cellars. I fear the letter is not upon the premises, after all. And now, Dupin, what would you advise me to do?” “I have no better advice to give you than to make & thorough research,” said Dupin. “Of course, you. have an accurate description of the letter wanted?” “Oh, yes!" And the Prefect read aloud from his memorandum book a minute account of the interna) and especially of the external appearance of the missing document.

BOUT «= menth later the Prefect paid us an- other visit and found us oceupled very neariy as before. He took & pipe and « chair and entered Into some ordinary conversation. At length I

“Well, G——, what of the purloined letter? I pre- sume you have at last made up your mind that there is no such thing as overreaching the Minis- ter?’’ “Confound him, yes! however, as Dupin suggested—but it was all labor lost, as I knew it would be.”’ “How much was the reward offered, did you say?”’ asked Dupin. “Why, a very great deal—a very liberal reward—I don’t like to say how much, precise)y—but thing I will say, that I wouldn’t mind giving my individual check for 60,000 francs to anyone who could obtain me that letter. The fact is, it is be- coming of more and more importance every day, and the reward has been lately doubled. If it were trebled, however, I could do no more than I have done.”’ : “I really think, G—,’’ drawled Dupin, between the whiffs of his meerschaum, ‘you have net ex- erted yourself to the utmost in this matter. You might—do a little more, I think, eh?’ “How? In what way?’ “Why'’—puff, puff, puff—‘‘do you remember story they tell of Abernethy ?’’ “No—hang Abernethy!” “To be sure! hang him and welcome. But once upon a time a certain rich misger conceived the de- sign of sponging upon this Abernethy fer a medica! opinion. vetting up for this purpose an ordinary conversation in a private company, he insinuated his case to the physician as that ef an imaginary individual. “We will suppose,’ said the miser, ‘that his symptoms are such and such; now, coctor, what would you have directed him to take?” ‘Take!’ said Abernethy, ‘why, take ADVICE, to be sure.’”’ “But,” sal@ the Prefect, a little discomposed, ‘I am perfectly willing to take advice, and to pay for it. I would reall:- give 90,000 francs to anyone who would ald me in the matter.” “In that case,” replied Dupin, opening @ drawer and producing a checkbook, ‘you may as well fill me up a check for the amount mentioned. When you have signed it I wil) hand you the letter.” I was astounded. The Prefect appeared absolutely thunderstruek. For some minutes he remained speechless and motionless, looking incredulously at my friend, with epen mouth and eyes that seemed starting frem their seckets; then, apparently recov- ering himself in seme measure, he seized a pen, and after several pauses and vacant stares, finally filled up and signed a check fer 60,000 france and handed it across the table te Dupin. The latter examined it carefully apd @epesited it in his pecketbook. Then, unlocking an eseriteire, he took thence a letter and Save it te the Prefect. This functienary grasped it in @ perfect agony ef joy, opened it with a trembling hand, cast a rapid glance at its eentents, and then, scrambling and struggling te the door, rushed at length uncere- moniously frem the reem and from the house, with- out having uttered a syllable since Dupin had re- quested him te fill up the check. CHAPTER III. How the Trick Was Done. HEN the Prefect had gone my friend entered W into some explanations. “The Parisian police,”’ he sald, “are perse- nd thoroughly versed in I made the re-examination, one the vering, ingenious, cunning 4 the knowledge which their duties seem ‘chiefly to de- mand. Thus, when G-—— detailed to us his mode of searching the Minister's hotel I knew that had the letter been depvalted within the range of his fel- lows’ search they would peyond a question have found it.” I laughed—but Dupin seemed quite serious. "Ths mebusen taken, dee BO eoetnned,. were good in their kind, and well executed. Their defect lay in their beihg inapplicable to the case and to the man. A certain set of highly ingenious re- _intellect with that of his opponent depends, ‘‘For He Has Been Twice Waylaid sources are with the Prefect a sort of Procrustead bed, to which he forcibly adapts his designs. But he perpetually errs by being too deep or too shal- low for the matter in hand; and many a schoolboy is a better reasoner than he. An identification of the reasoner’s intellect with that of his opponent is what is needed. This Hes ‘at the bottom of all the spurious profundity which has been attributed to Rechefoucauld, to La Bougive, to Machiavelli and to Campanella.” “And the identification,’”’ I said, ‘of the reasoner’s if I understand yeu aright, upon the accuracy with which the opponents intellect is measured.” “For its’ practical value depends upon this,” re- plied Dupin, “and the Prefect and his coherts fall so frequently, first, by default of this identification, and, secendly, by {lladmeasurement, or rather through non-admeasurement, of the intellect with which they are engaged. They consider only their own ideas of ingenuity, and in searching for any- thing hidden advert only to the modes in which they would have hidden it. When the cunning of the individual felon is diverse in character from their own the felon foils them, of course. This al- ways happens when it is above their own, and very usually when it is below. “They have no variation of principle in their in- vestigations; at best, when urged by some unusual! emergency—by some extraordinary reward—they ex- tend or exaggerate their old modes of practice with- out teaching their principles. What, for example, is all this boring and probing, and sounding, and scrutinizing with the micrescepe, and dividing the surface of the building into registered square inches ~what is it all but an exaggeration of the application of the one principle or -set principles of scarch, which are based upon the one set of notions recard- ing human ingenuity to which the Prefect, in the long routine ef his duty, has been accustomed? “Now in the case of Minister. D don't see that the Prefect of Police taken it granted that all men proceed to hide a letter—not exactly in a gimlet hole bored in a chair leg, but at least in some out-of-the-way hole or corner sug- Sested by the same tenor of thought which would urge a man to secrete a letter in a gimlet hole bered in a chair leg? And don’t you see also that such recherche nooks for concealment are suitable only fer erdinary occasions and would be adopted enly by erdinary intellects? The Prefect has been thereughly mystified; and the remote source of his defeat lies in the supposition that the Minister ts ® fool, because he has acquired some renown as a poet. True, all fools are poets. The prefect ta merely guilty of a non-distribution medfi in thence inferring that all poets are fools. “But I happened to know the Minister,” Dupin went on, while I smiled again at his trenical ob- servations. a poet and a mathematician: and my measures were adapted te his capacity, with reference to the cirgumstances by which he was surrounded. I knew him as a courtier, tee, and as a bold intriguant. Such a man, I censidered, could not fail to be aware ef the erdinary pelice modes ef action. He ceuld net have failed te anticipate— and events have preved that he did net fail to an- ticipate—the waylayings te which he was subjected. He must have foreseen, I reflected, the secret in- vestigations of his premises. His frequent absences frem heme at night, se cenvenient fer the search- ers, Were enly ruses te enable them the sooner te arrive at the conviction that the letter was not there. I felt that the Minister's whele train of thought would imperatively lead him te despise all the erdinary neeks ef cenceniment. He could not be so weak as not te see that the mest intricate and remote recess of his heuse would be as open as the commonest closets to the eyes, to the probes, to the gimiets and te the microsvopes of the Prefect of Police. I saw, in fine, that he would be driven you has for “as both SUNDAY: MAGAZINE- ST. LOUIS PUST-DISPATCH -DECEMBER 15, 1907, to simplici(y, tf not deliberately induced to it as a epcice,”’ “T remember,” sald I, “hew the Prefect when you suggested that it was just possible this 80 on account of its matier of laughed troubled him much being so very self-evident.” “Yes,” resumed Dupin, “the peint invelved in that argument was, it appears, somewhat above—or be- neath—the Prefect’s understanding. He never once though it prebable or possible that the Minister had deposited the letter immediately beneath the nose of the whole world by way of best preventing any portion of that world frem perceiving it. myste) ? “There is a game of puzzies which ig played upon a map. One party playing requires angther to find a given word—the name of a town, river, state or empire-any word, in short, upon the motley and perplexed surface of the chart. A novice in the game generally seeks tg embarrass his opponents by giv- ing them the mest minutely lettered names. But the adept selects such werds as stretch, in large characters, from one end of the chart te the other. These, like the ever-largely lettered signs and pla- cards of the street, escape observation by dint of being excessively obvious. And here the physica! oversight is precisely analegous with the mora) in- apprehension by which the intellect suffers te pasa unnoticed those considerations which are tee ob- trusively and too palpably self-evident. ‘The more I refiected upon the daring, dashing and discriminating ingenuity of °cinistee D—— upon the fact that the document must always have been at hand if he intended to use it te good purpose, and upon the decisive evidence obtained by the Prefect that it was not hidden within the limits of that dig- nitary’s ordinary search, the more satisfied I be came that to conceal this letter the Minister had re- sorted to the comprehensive and sagacious expedient of net attempting te conceal it at all. “Full of these ideas, I prepare¢ myself with a pair of green spectacles and called ene fine morning, quite by accident, at the Minister’s hotel. I feund D— at home, yawning, lounging and dawdling, as usual, and pretending to be in the last extremity of ennui. He is, perhaps, the most really energetic human being now alive—but that Is only when nobody sees him. To be even with him I complained of my weak eyes, and lamented the necessity of spectacies—under cover of which I cautiously and thoroughly surveyed the apartment, while seemingly intent only upon the con- versation of my host. “I paid special attention to a large writing table, near which he sat, and upon which lay, cenfusedly some miscellaneous letters and other papers, with one or two musical instruments and a few booka. Here, however, after a long and very deliberate scrutiny, I saw nothing to excite particular sus- picion. “At length my eves, reom, fell liigree rack of pastebeard that hung dangling by a dirty blue rib- ben frem a little brass kneb just beneath the middle of the mantelpiece. In this rack, which had three er feur cempartments, were five or six visiting cards and a solitary letter. This last was much seiled and crumpled. It was torn nearly in twe acress the middie—as if a design, in the frst in- stance, te tear ft entirely up as worthless had been altered er stayed in the second. ft had a large black seal bearing the D—— cipher very conspicu- ously, and was addressed in a diminutive female hand te D——, the Minister himecif.
