Anything he might have said would have been painful to Jack's feelings. Once Slate came mighty near shooting a quail.

He has bagge 1 a great deal of game, and he ought to know. For more than an hour after the. train started the others in the party saw little of the Governor. He re. mained in his stateroom. When he emerged at last he was beaming with good nature and in a moo? for jokes and stories. ONE OF FOLK’S STORIES. Here is one of the best things he told: “An editor was so bothered by visitors that ho called his office boy and said: “If anybody asks for me, just say that“I am out.’ ‘ “An hour later the boy entered the editor's private room. He was plainly troubled.

a Governor Folk. Huntine and Doing Tricks

“Whenever I tell a man that you're out he gets . mad and says he knows you're not,’ complained the boy. “*Well,’ replied the editor, ‘the next time s#fiybody tells:you that he doén’t believe ..m out, you just reply: “That’s what they all say.’’ “In a few minutes a woman entered the outer of- fice and said she wanted to see the editor. ‘**He’s out,’ said the boy. ““*I don’t believe he is out,’ answered the woman. ‘I must see him. I’m hfs wife.’ “*That’s’ what they all say,’ umphantly. “The indignant wife waited to hear no more; she rushed into her husband's office and toli him what she thought of him. After that he always left his latch-string out.’’ LIKES BURLESQUE MAGIC. When there was a lull in the conversation Gov. Folk introduced parlor car games. His repertoire in- cludes many tricks of burlesque magic. "Here, Dick,’’ he said te Chairman Porter, this dime. Now hold it above your head in one hand and let the other hand hang Ump at your side. I'll turn my back. When I have counted 20 hold both hands out in front of you aod Il tell you which one the coin is in.’’ But it, did not work the first time. “Now, Dick,” said the Governor, “you didn't do as I told you.’” Porter admitted that he put the dime in his pocket. When the test was fairly made, the Governor had no difficulty in selecting the hand which held the coin. “No magic about it at all,’’ he said, smiling. ‘““‘When you hold your hand above your head the blood re- cedes from it and leaves it whiter than the one which has been hanging at your side. “‘Now,’’ said the Governor, “get out a plece of pa- per and pencil, Write a sentence. Fold the paper and put it under your foot gaa I'll tell you what's on | gs Porter again followed iiebitions. After writing on the paper he laid it on the carpet and concealed cried tne boy tri- “take, it under a shoe of ample size. ‘‘Well, I’m ready for you,’’ he said. Paper?”’ “Your foot,’’ said the Governor. As the next diversion, Folk took one of the mem- bers of the party and pushed his head through a finger ring. That is one of the best things he does. The trick is done by holding the ring between the thumb and finger of the left hand, putting the index finger of your right hand through it and pushing the head of the man who says it can’t be done. THE VALUE OF TIME. The Governor ‘‘off the job’ interrupted his perform- ance long enough to teach a little moral lesson in the value of time when Billy Culp, speaking of a ‘stop that the train was to make at a small station, said: ‘‘You can’t do much in fve minutes.” “You are wrong there, Billy. A great deal may be done in five minutes. How many minutes do you think there are in a year?” “About 80,000,000, I think’? replied Culp. “No, it's about 8,000,000°' said Porter. “Figure it’’ commanded the Governor and every- body went to work. The result showed that the number of minutes in a yeaf is only a ‘trifle more than 600,000. “‘Now you see,”’ said the Governor, a minute is big- ger than it looks. you will waste your hours.” It must not be supposed that the Governor's parior car trick performance was continuous. There “Whats on the * who had no helpers — them. If you @@pise the little minute was an abundance of hard work for the commissioners, =

Along the line wherever there was a small stream near the railroad, big cans filled with young. fish were taken from the train. At Horine, Mo., 29 miles out, 20,090 fish were put off. At Arcadia 12,000 were given to stock a lake owned by a Catholic sisterhood. At Poplar B'!uff the commissioners hustled cans as though they were working on a milk train and carried them a where 10,000 bass and croppie were liberated, POLIEICIANS ON THE LOQKQUT. All along: the line, wherever a stop was made, men, some of them politicians and sorie curiosity seekers, jumped on to shake the Governor's hand. Several private, heart-to-heart talks oocurred in the Gover- nor’s stateroom, but he told all he met that his trip had .no political significance. At -Poplar Bluff,-a locomotive was chartered to pull the fish car 17 miles to Dudley, Stoddard County. It was 4 p. m. when the car pulled into Dudley: For ten minutes no one on the train had seen any- thing of the Governor. When he emerged, he was clad in a corduroy hunting suit and he carried his shot gun. “Well, I swan” said Uncle Dick Porter.’’ are you going to do.”’ “Shoot a few birds.if I can find them’’ replied the Goverror. ‘“‘We'll have an hour before ‘it gets dark. Don’t forget about how big the minutes ar®. Get your gun and Come along.”’ The Governor hunted half an hour, ate supper and disappeared. No-one.in the party knew -where he was, and when it was learned that he was not in his stateroom, a searching Baath was sent out. What hundred yards to the Black river,’ They found him at the village store kept by Gilman Noyes, postmaster of Dudley. “Mr. Noyes, I understand you are a Republican” said Folk. “Can't anything change you?” ‘‘No,’”’ said the white haired postmaster, “I’m dyed in the wool,”’ “well, youre genuine, anyway,” nor laughing. For an’ hour the Govérnor steod wit bhis back against a pile of cracket boxes and chatt with the ‘assembled Dudileyites. Not much was said about politics. The Governor hade his oft-repeated state- ment that he stands for the enforcement of all the laws on the statute books. He told stories cf the days when he wag a country lad/talked to the farmérs of their crops and families and made mirute inquiries’ as to the prospects for quail shooting on the morrow, From the liquor traffic standpoint, Stoddard County, is the driest in. Missouri, but so far as weather is concerned it is one of the wettest. All night it rained and when the fish car party arose at 5 a. m., the fog was so thick that Uncle Dick Porter’s hunting dogs could not see beyond the ends of their noses. ; HUNT LEADS THROUGH SWAMP. In a springless wagon, hired from George Washing- tor. Klein, the ‘party was driven five miles nofth- east of Dudley where Gov. Fo!'t, Diek Porter and Slate climbed a rail fence and landed in a swamp where quail hunting was said to be good. Billy Culp and Jo® Shortal sought drier grotind ‘in a corn field and the big hunt was on. The Gover- hor and Porter took. with them Porter's dogs, Boy said the Gover-

SCONDING B - $295,000 ON FAKE RA ,™ . Detective Tells How William Walker Became Fugitive From Justice.

GANG “FRAMED IT UP” Whitney and His Crowd Put Victim “On” Horses That Couldn’t Win.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 2.—This is the story of how William F. Walker, treasurer of the New Britain Savings _Gank, was induced to steal $795,000 and bet it in fake poolrooms in New York City on horses that would not win. Walker fied and a man under arrest at Ensenada, Mexico, is supposed to be he. William L. Rose, who telis the story, was 1 detective in the office of the Gov- ernor of Conrecticut. When the reward ef 35906 for Walker's arrest and $2000 for identification of his body, if dead, was withdrawn by the New Britain Savings Bauk, Rese was close on the tral! of the tefauiter. J BY WILLIAM tf. ROSE. ILLIAM i. Walker had already W lost more than $200,900 in s,rcu- lation in Wall strect when he inet “Big A’ Whitney last February in Tatham & Cc.’ Wall street. Whitney ts one of the most notoriovs ‘‘steerers” in the busi- Pess and has iurped many a shady deal For years he has been operating in Wew York and other ‘arge cities, and often has gone to Londun and Paris in geaich of victims, aiding the card sharps on his trivs across the ocean. Walker was a frequent visiior at the office of Latham & Co. and was ore of the best customers of the firm. Wh't rey got the tip that Walker was a “good thing” and the results proved that the tip was “straight.’’ Walker fell an easy dupe to W!} nitney, who + legate the New Britain banker at dinners, opening wine with a lavia:, f hand... Whitney introduced Walker , Lo sev eral congenial companions, but it was not until the banker’s confidence had been fully gained that the get-rich- quick, scheme was proposed to him. Whitney said his brother-in-law was David ‘Mitchell, then at the. head of the racing bureau of a big telegraph company. They visited the head office of that company, conferred with a man who was introduced as Mitchell, and it was arranged that for 'a considera- tion ‘Mitchell’? would hold back, the result of races untill Walker and Whit- mey could get down thafr money. The man who posed as Mitchell was ‘‘Chi- fago Dutch,” ‘almost as notorious a swindier as Whitney, “Mitchell” sug- Rested Cunfield’s, ‘Lou’ Betts’ and Frank Farrells as likely places to bet. Whitney took Walker first to places named by ‘‘Mitchell,’’ as the banker sup- posed, but at each one there was found n “loakout’’ on guard, who warned them away, saying .the places were closed. These “lookouts’”” were, of course, in the employ of the gang and the hoyses at which they were: posted were subest “butldings: "** {Eiuterted 4 “Pedlroom,” , INALLY Whitney succeeded in F tearning that a place at —— West Twenty-seventh street was open. but he was warned té6 be exceedingly careful, as the place was closely watched by the police. After many seeming difficulties they at last got into thé house. They found a dozen men playing faro and roulette. Whitney held a Whispered conversation with the supposed proprietor, and told the anx- fous banker it would be all right for ‘that afternoon, but Mhey might have to *look for another place next day. Walker and Whitney waited In a ‘Cigar store until the latter was called to the telephone. ‘‘Mitchell,” Whit- ney said, had given him Coltness as -winner of the sixth race at New - OWleans. Whitney. gave Walker $100 and told ‘him to hurry across the street and get it re on the horse before the race | “closed.” Walker rushed up to Charicy Gondorf, who played the part of the bookmaker. and tried to lay-..e bet, but was told that he must have made a mistake; that they didn’t take such smal) bets there. Whitney, however, came | to Walker's rescue and persuaded Gon- dort to accept the $100 ‘just for this time.” Me explained that Walker was a close nd of his and wae accus- toned to make larger bets, but didn’t happen to have any more ready cash with him just then. Coltness was a 10 to 1 shot. The horse won, of course, and Gondorf handed Walker $1100, at the same time warning fhim not to trouble the house again un- less he was prepared to make a bet worth while. Waiker was told that bets of any size would be taken and that if the house found that it could not carry me Tnuch as was offered it would lay a part of it off with other rooms.

into a chait as if he ha@ been shot. Whitney, of course, already knew that the horse had been disqualified, having been so informed by “Chicago Dutch,”” who was stationed in a real poolroom, and was fully primed as to what he should tell Walker.. He sym- pathized with the banker and finally they made an appointment to meet “Mitchell” at dinner at the Hotel York that evening. Whitney bought a ‘racing edition of an evening paper, and there sure enough they found the account of the disqualification of Molo B. after it had won the race. Walker’s suspicions were fully quieted by Whitney and “Chicago Dutch,” but his experience cured him fot. the time being of a de- sire to plungé ag. heavily as he had done that evening. ‘‘Mitche}l” agreed with him and it was arranged that only $10,000 shouid be risked the next day. Walker went back to New Britain and returned the next noon with $10,000. He was told that there might be trou- ble in the house in Twenty-seventh street, but that possibly they might be able to do business on the last race of the day. This was done so as to get a short odds horse and let Walker win, as they did not care to tle up too much of their money. They were playing for a bigger game and wanted to inspire him with enough confidence so thet he would risk all he had on one a on the other days, Whitney was called to the telephone in . the... cigar store, and, as Walker élieved, was in- structed to play St. Valentine, a 2-to-1 shot. With $20,000 in his pocket Walker, of course, only regretted that he did not bet more than the $10,000, Whitney also seemed to be despondent, telling Walker that perhaps every poolroom in the city would be closed in a day or two and their chances lost. The three had dinner together that night to celebrate their winnings, and “Mitchell” took advantage of Walker's enthusiasm to warn him of the foolish- ness of taking such chances day after day when they might have cleaned up $30,000 that afternoon just as well as not. At Canficld’s. Walker agreed with him and when he ‘came’ back from New Britain the next day he had $125,000. Whitney took him to the Twenty-seventh street house as ushal, but they found it closed and were told that every poolroom and gambling house in the tenderloin was likewise shut up. There was one house, however, so Whitney told Walker, where a few select patrons were admitted to play the races only. They were directed to No. — West Fifty-second street, which Walker, in his ignorance, supposed to be Canfield’s. They found the parlor of this house manner of a pool- room, with Charley Gondorf there mak- ing book. Whitney found a telephone, No. 6250 Cotumbus, at the corner of Eighth avenne.

The whole blame was laid on Walker and when they met at a hotel’ that night ‘‘Mitchell went so far as to draw a revolver and threaten to kill Walker for his bungling. Strange as it may appear, Walker*was fully satisfied that his failure to win was due entirely to his own stupidity. He told the swindler that night he was ready to take one more chance, bué that he did not have any more ready cash and would have to negotiate some bonds. They told him they would fx that all right for him. Walker's only Stipulation Was that-his name should not appear in the bond deal. He returned the next day with a bunch of bonds and turned them over’ to Whitney, Fred Gondorf and Bob Nel- son.

The charge is con- spiracy to set foot a revolution against Mexico, to the neu- trality laws. The men are in Jail in Los Angeles, where their attorneys are making a hard fight to prevent their extradition to Mexico. They were first charged with criminal! libel, said to have been committed in the columfs of Regener- acion, a Spanish publication issued in St. Louis. An appeal to Gov.

NOTE WRITTEN YEAR ABO MAY EXPLAIN SUICIDE Before Former Attempt, Wrote: lt Was “to Save Honar of Women.’’ SEW YORK, Dec. 28.-—Through a note written by Henry P. Terry, pre- Vious to an attempt to kill himself in San Francisco a year ago, his relat tives hope to clear the motive which drove him to end his life some time last night in Prospect Park, Brook- lyn, This note said in part that he Was dying, ‘‘to save the honor of more than one woman and of the family from which I sprung.” This letter has never .been ex- plained. Terry declined to talk about it and his relatives let the matter go, believing he had been temporarily unbalanced. Now they hope an in- vestigation will reveal the cause of the suicide. Terry comes of a well Known fam- ily of Brooklyn and was reputed to be worth $256,000, largely aceumu- lated from fruit farms in California and Arizona. So far as known to his relatives there was no cause for him to take his life. They deny that grief over his mother’s death had unbal- anced his mind and say he had not had a love affair in years. TT.

Laces. Ample provisions have been made to supply practically every demand — and we are confident youll not find the great varvettes elsewhere wn St. Louis, nor will you be able to get better values.

Decisive Price Reduction on Women’s and Misses’ aa HIS Reduction Sale is of unusual significance inasmuch as it affects the extraordinary low prices that had been placed on all Women’s and Misses’* apparel the early part of December. Furthermore, most of the garments. were bought away below value, and by eliminating our profits, it means Bs era are immeasurable. If measured according to the standard of regular prices at the beginning of the season, the savings would be one-half o three-fourths. ERHAPS the most important feature to consider is, that our stock is the largest, most complete and most select in the city. You are afforded a wider latitude for choice, and know full well that not a garment is in the least antiquated, as we never permit them to linger long here, as we resort to the most drastic measures in order to effect a quick and decisive clearance. These prices indicate how strong our determination is to dispose of all winter apparel without further delay.

1SAAC.NN.WILBER. EMPLOYES HONOK RETIRING Chl Ike Wilbur, 50 Years With the Burlington, Hears Himself Highly Praised.

HANNIBAL, Mo., Dec. 28.—Ike Wil- bur, for 50 years an employe of the Rurlington Railroad and for _ recent years master mechanic of the local shops, spent a very unpleasant hour listening to his own praises from his employes and former associates at a mass meeting in the court room here. It was a surprise, else he would have issued an order forbidding the men doing any such thing. But for once he heard what the men think of him. Isaac N. Wilbur, that is his name officially, was born in Duchess County, N. Y¥., Feb. 24, 18386, and his mechanical training for railroad work was in a saw mill. His first position on a rail- road was that of tie cutter on the Han- n‘bal & St. Joseph Railroad, which he secured Dec. 1, 1857, and he has been in the work since, rising by his own efforts to the responsibie position of raster mechanic, which gives him ciarge of the rolling stock and loco- motives and shops of a division of the road. At this farewell reception before he retires and goes to Brookfield, Mo., to reside, he was presented with a velvet rug, easy chair, library rocker and ta- 'e and a leather couch from the shop employes, a brass bed from the en- rinéers and a large chair from the mas- ter mechanics of the system. William T. Loudon, Superintendent of the Alton bridge, presided, and Super- intendents Clark and Torrey, George Long, of the shops, and George A. Hahan, local attorney for the com- pany, made addresses. President B. N. Winchell, General Manager Henry Miller and other former associates sent letters of regret. MILLERS TO GIVE A DINNER Business Men Will Address Monday Night Meeting. The regular monthly meeting and din- ner of the St. Louis Millers’ Club will be held Monday evening at the Mercan- tile Club. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p. m. Following the dinner, the evening will be devoted to “Exporting and Banking.”’ The delegates to the recent conference in Washington, called by Secretary Straus of the Department of Commerce and Labor, have been invited to attend, and the following have accepted: From the Merchants’ Exchange, W. P. Ken- nett, Edward E. Scharff and H. BR. Sparks; from the Latin-American and Foreign Trade Association, James Ar- buckle and Ernst Filsinger; from the Pusiness Men's League, President James E. Smith, Secretary W. F. Saunders and C. P. Walbridge. Drunkards Cured Secretly Any Lady Can“Do It at Home—Costs Nothing To Try.

Kansas iy jars Jurist Not New in the Role of a Crusader. ROUTED

Long Line of Suffered for Their Opinions. JAMES GANG Ancestors

tac WILLIAM H. WAL- § LACE of the Jackson County ‘Criminal Caurt is now giv- {ug Kansas City the tightest ‘Sunday Hid tn the country. He is conducting bis crusade against ‘theaters end all kinds of busi- mess formerly open on Sunday through his control of the grand- juries of the county. Since he announced his inteftion of en- forcing the Sunday - observance law, he has brought about the indictment of 1101 persons, many of whom are actors. His radical postition for law observance has brought him much before the “public eye and because of that’ the Post-Dispatch presents this character sketch by a neWspaper writer who has been an intimate friend of Judge Wallace for many

years,

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 28.—William fi. Wallace is not a hypocrite. It is “hot for political advantage that he is @losing the theaters and other busi- pess places in Kansas City on Sunday. _ He is doing that because he believes #t is right and it is his duty as Judge ef the Criminal Court. And there is no power or influence on earth that could make Judge Wallace shirk what he thought was his duty. There is nothing that Judge Wallace 4s afraid of. When he broke up the James gang of outlaws in Missouri, he went for months unarmed among the worst desperadoes in this country and they had sworn to kill him. That was 2% years ago. He was then a young man, six feet tall, handsome and with a wealth of jet black hair. He ‘Was said to be the handsomest man in Jackson County. And he had a gift of oratory that charmed all who heard ., His Ancestors Stern Men. His great-great grandfather came to America to escape persecution because of his religious views. His great-grand- father was Capt. John Wallace, in the t deny of the Revolution. He was with Washington at Valley Forge. The old _ @aptain’s son moved to Kentucky. He : ‘was a preacher. When William H. Wal- _ Jace was a small boy his father, the’ _ preacher moved to Jackson County, Mo. He was a slave owner and a sympa- thiser with the South in the Civil War. This old preacher was so bitter in fee his denunciation of the North that his houses and barns were burned, his steck run off and he and his family were ban- ished by the famous “Order No. 11." _. he book, “Order No. 11,” was written _ *froin material furnished the author by ‘William H.

The people of Jackéon County believe that Wallace is, above all things, hon- est. Personal Pledge Saved Client. A few years ago a man of Lee’s Sum- mit, Mo., was arrested upon a serious harge. Wallace defended him. The evi- dence, purely circumstantial, was strong against him. The Prosecuting Attorney was Herbert 8. Hadley, now Attorney- General of Missouri. It looked as if the man would be convicted, but Wallace, who was defending him, got up and apie to the jury: “Men, you know me. You know I'd rather die than tell you a deliberate He And men, I tell you, upon my word of honor, that this man is innocent. I went to school with this man, I know his life from his birth up to now, and I know he wouldn’t lie to me to save i himself from prison or from death. Sit- ting face to face in my office, his hand clasped in mine, with a lifelong friend- ship behind us, he told me he was in- nocent and I know he told me the truth. I ask you to acquit him because he is innocent, and you can take William H. Wallace’s word for it that you will do right.”’ That was all he said. « Hadley’s Argument in Vain. Hadley argued for an hour. He could not move that jury. They knew Wal- lace and knew he honestly believed the prisoner innocent or he wouldn't have said so, and they acquitted him. WILL WALK THROUGH NEW YEAR, HAVING CRAWLED THROUGH FOUR Happy Woman Tells How Her Boy Recovered From Paralysis. This is the remarkable story of little Francis Schlottman, 4 years old, claimed to have been told by his mother, Mrs. Anna Schiottman, 1541 Benton, and eworn to before a notary, Mrs. R. H. Anderson of the Planters Hotél: “Since he was 18 months oid Francis had been so crippled by paralysis of the left leg and spine that he was unable to even stand and had to crawl. He was perfectly helpless. We tried every treat- ment we heard cf by doctors and spe- cialists all over St. Louis, at sanilari- ums at Hot Springs, where he took the baths. He was thin and frail, with almost no appeltfte. “We heard of Phenon ene! Kraus’ spe- cCialists at 523 Chestnut. About two weeks ago Francis quit taking medicine end began treatment with the new ‘vlue ray.’ “He has gained eight pounds in weight, walks well without his brace or any other help and is on his feet un- aided most of the day, turns summer- sets, does what he calls ‘strong-man stunts’ and plays about as other chiidren do, which he never did before. He eats as well as any other healthy boy and 9 even more cheerful.” & x KAISER PLANS NEW NAVAL PORT T0 COST $7,500,000 General Plan of Strengthening North Sea Forfifications Is Going Steadily On. BERLIN, Dec. 28.—The German Gov- ernment has decided to create a new naval port at Brunsbuettel, opposite Cuxhaven, in the mouth of the Elbe, and at the western end of the Baltic Canal. The. first step will be the construc- tion of a dry dock at a cost of $7,500,- 000, which will be followed by the con- struction of other docks. Brunsbuettel

The decision to create a naval base at Brunsbuettel, following so closely on the resolve to transfer the headquar- ters of the German ‘fleet from Kiel to Wilheimshaven, is extremely signifi- cant, inasmuch as it reveals the con- the North Sea a ene erated Cancer Cured | In 10 Davs A Discovery That a , Sears the Medical T have daniiies's at the medical world has been looking for, for years, a sure cure for —— Le) ng that it can be absolutely greg.

Time will show what is to become of the judges who take more interest in sermoniz- ing than they do in their magistracy. Not much but poor preaching and an imperfect administra- tion of law can result from such methods. In the matter of divorce, our preacher investi- gators do not seem to know that their weightiest responsibility devolves upon them, not as legis- lators, or as judges, or as sociologists, but as teachers of faith and morals. They have an op- pertunity in their sphere to lay the groundwork of good character. If they fail with all of the thunders of Sinai at their command, they cannot hope to improve upon their work later on in the disputatious realms of law and statesmanship. Ministers do not have a monopoly of marriage rites by any means, and it is probable that the percentage of divorces resulting from civil mar- riages is not greater than that which follows religious ceremonies. Ministers might refuse wholly to officiate at marriages and the number of such contracts would not be decreased. If religion and its teachers cannot prepare men and women for circumspect lives in the married state they have only one further opportunity to deal with the derelicts and that is through society. It generally happens tha. the more scandalous a matrimonial venture may be, the more intent are the principals on having it given full religiouS and social sanction. With the doors of church and society clased te. such people, some of the worst phases of the divorce evil would disappear. To accomplish this, no preacher need spend days ip court listen- ing to the trifling and shameful details of domes- tic infelicity. He is called rather to duty, to exhortation, to instruction and to admonition. In a word, he is invited to attend to his own busi- ness, Which.is a high and noble one. The truth is that few preachers dare address their congregations plainly on this subject. It is easier and safer to fulminate in the market place, where the barbed shafts which they launch do not strike home. Judges who are given to preachment display a similar perversity. In his proper station—wise, fearless and just—a magistrate is as important a minister of righteousness as one who wears the cloth. In the pulpit hc may be neglecting his duty as well as taking the place of a better man. To some it is given to preach and to some to judge. Not many are actually called, and the number having two calls is so small.as to be wholly negligible. se + & ii se fs DID THE ANCIENTS KNOW IT ALL? Burke frankly admitted that he did not know how to indict the whole country; but we live and learn. Nowadays, anybody indicts the country at haphazard and on mere suspicion; among others Owen Wister, who scourges America on the score of deficient “scholarship” and bewails that our educational system does not produce it in these times. ; But we apprehend that the indictment may be turned around and made to score the so-called scholarship itself, rather than the country and the times which eschew it. In defense of America it may be inquired, Is it not true, generally speaking, that a good deal of what scholars essayed in a more callow educa- tional period has had to be unlearned, untlone, by the modern student; that what was compre- hended by the scholarship which our. literary Wisters extol has been discarded as insubstan- tial and-insincere? To be sure, the old must ever yield to the new, but most processes are evolutional, retaining the old for the basis of the new. Not so with the structural scheme of léarning. Pedagogy, broad- ly scientific, finds what is ancient too insecure in many parts to build upon; to give education a solid ‘base, to order it from a sure beginning to a certain end and for a purpose more or. less defi- nite, there has had to be a cutting from under

fashioned scholar deemed vital. ._The old system—which was not a system— was overwhelmed and buried under a burden, a mass, of indiscriminate classicism. The quiet shades of Academe were overhung with dense and tangled controversies about trifles. The paths of learning led only to the shrines of the ancients, who out of dim obscurity exercised an oracular, a supreme and well-nigh everlasting authority. It is only today that our cities are ceasing to quarrel over the remains of Homer. Old-fashioned scholarship was a question de- termined to no small extent by individual “‘taste.’’ I: was disputatious. It was narrowly literary, any embellishment to serious professions, but of itself a conscious affectation in many of its most distinguished devotees, adorning leisure rather than assisting the serious business of the world. Many false standards were the result. For ex- ample, questions of British Govertrment were re- ferred, so to speak, for decision in the Roman forum—the test of a statesman was too frequently the extent to’ which he could interlard an ora- tion with Latin; and the thing became a rather commonplace accomplishment. There was much cheap flimsy in a scholarship that produced more translators of the Iliad and the Odyssey than original thinkers, discoverers of live truths, in- ventors, profound scientists and philosophers, and factors for the common good. It was a “cul- ture” that made versifiers, poetasters and polite essayists out of the generations that partook of it. It was supremely exemplified in Addison. Most of the world’s real literature hasbeen pro- ‘duced since it began to wane. ; It is a showy garment no more suited to these times than a studied oration of Curran’s would fit the sober debate of Parliament today, or the business-like effectiveness of our own legislative process, Instead of ordering its curriculum to | increase the output of accomplished scholars, our

SHALL WE EAT LESS? The prescription that was certain to come as a remedy for the increased cost of living is at hand. It is strictly to the point and is: Eat less. Americans who have long experienced the op- pressions of combinations in restraint of trade and of producers and distributers licensed by our stone-wall tariff system to charge high prices, do not need this advice. They learned long ago all that is contained in the gospel of going with- out. We were told some years ago by a President of the United States that a cheap coat made a cheap man and, as the doctrine was indorsed at the polls, most of our exploiters have acted upon the theory ever since that there was nothing that we abhorred so much as cheapness. We see the climax now in the outrageous prices charged for most high-grade food products. Perhaps as a people we eat more than is good for us, but if the suggestion that we eat less is to have much value it should be amended so as to read: Eat less of the choicest foods. It must be that with care and wisdom the food question can be solved for some time to come without adopting a policy that will amount to deprivation. High prices for woolens’ resulted long ago in adulteration and imitation to such an extent that few of the humbler homes ever had a genuine article of clothing, a genuine blanket, a genuine shawl or a genuine carpet. The same process was carried into the prepara- tion of food and at the time when the pure food laws were passed the rich man and the poor man were living upon different articles having the same names, the one genuine and the other large- ly counterfeit. While food adulteration and substitution were carried to the point of swindling, shrewd house- holders will do well to take a leaf or two-from the discoveries of the packers and canners and 4 profit thereby. These people made money by their knowledge of the fact that the highest priced food is not. necessarily the best and that waste is a national sin. Their offense was not in making the most of this knowledge. It lay in using it for purposes of deception. Perhaps they could not have sold their products if they had not resorted to trick- ery, but it is certain that all of these articles would have been more desirable if they had not been colored, perfumed, flavored and otherwise doctored. There is much cheap food in the world, some of it now going to waste, and it will have to be utilized by those who cannot afford to pay for the choicer grades. It may call for more ingenuity in the kitchen, but it will, be just as nourishing as the dishes which burden the tables of the mil- lionaire and the spendthrift. Men and women who may never have worn an all-wool garment in their lives, will not eat less because prices are high. They will cast about for something cheap. They will fare differently in some respects, of course, but we hope that even so they will fare wholesomely. —__ -_-—___- ._—_¢-9¢@——__—_—__—_—_-- - OUR WARRIOR DOCTORS. Doctors of medicine are dominant persons as a rule and are accustomed to having their own way. Given a hospital ship in the Navy and a doctor in charge of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery at Washington, and it is as certain that the doctor will want another doctor to command the ship as that two and two make four. The disturbance over this question in the Navy Cepartment should excite no wonder except on one ground, and that is as to the reason why any fighting man of the line should want to com- mand a hospital ship. Admiral Brownson will not have much sympathy in his contention to that end. , Through the favor of the President, Dr. Leon- ard Wood is now Major-General of the Army. He is still a young man and if he lives he may be in a position to fight-a battle for his country somewhere. If a doctor can do that on shore, why should not a doctor command a hospital ship which has nothing more hostile than the elements to encounter? If Dr. Rixey ever gets to the head of the Navy, as Dr. Wood is likely to get to the head of the army, our foes, if we have any, will do well to speak easy, Whether they carry big sticks or not. 4 «> rw SOCIALISM ON THE INSIDE. The Post-Dispatch acknowledges receipt of a letter from “J. S. B.,” in which it is informed that Socialists in nearly equal numbers are about to join the old parties and work for their destruction from the inside. He adds: Because of the superior knowledge Of Political economy and history possessed by the average So- cialist to that of the old party man they would have a comparatively easy time confuting the old vaga- ries which once stood for arguments and winning their associates over to twentieth century or Social- istic tenets. This policy will be tried out very largely during the next year and you may prepare your- selves for strange and striking things from the Democratic and Republican parties. Without questioning in the least the authority of this correspondent to speak for the Socialists or expressing any doubt as to his claim of su- perior knowledge, it may be well to remind him that his plan for the subjugation of the old par- ties seems to have been put into effect long ago. im. For some years past there has been considera- ble rivalry among Democrats and Republicans in the matter of the adoption of socialistic ideas. It would be difficult to determine which party has gone to the greatest lengths in that respect. Both have looked with so much favor upon Se- cialism of one kind or another that the views of that school have made wonderful progress. With- out making a genuine campaign and without electing a man to important office, Socialism is more in evidence here than it is in some coun- tries where it maintains powerful organiza- tions of its own. We are inclined to the opinion, therefore, that when the Socialists for wkom “J. S. B.” speaks bring their powerful intellects to bear upon their prospective proselytes they will find the latter so well versed in Marxian philosophy that the in- structors will soon be themselves the Mrwcontmctete ——

for many years not from American statesmen and thinkers, but from the most radical of the social and industrial revolutionists of Europe. When a commonplace Socialist like “J. S.

In truth, Karl Marx himself would find a back seat a A eventually hide his diminished head in shame if he were to stumble into a conclave made up of men who used to boast of American individu- alism.: For these reasons we refuse to take alarm and we decline even to look upon our correspondent’s fearsome program as worthy of serious attention. If we must. have Socialism in the United States, it is pleasant to reflect that it comes to us under the good old guises of Democracy and Repub- licanism, and not in the garb of Eugene V. Debs and Clarence Darrow. ™ y= 4 so = PRESIDENTIAL VOTES AND TOMBSTONES. At least Fairbanks will go down into history as having received a vote for President in a National Convention. Indiana will cast the vote at Chicago. It has so proclaimed at an all-em- bracing lovefeast that included Senator Beveridge and the other Senator, the Governor, Sheriff, Constable and every other Republican in the state who is a Republican. The only real interest and importance attach- ing to Indiana’s vote, therefore, relate to what it will do along about the third or fourti ballot after convincingly bestowing the ecxempliment upon the favorite son. But the compliment is worth while of itself, and his descen:jants are likely to appreciate it even more than h>2 does. Any family is proud of an ancestor who “ran for President” and nearly every family has one. The great graveyard of history is full of men who have been honorably buried by national conventions. With but few exceptions, their names: have not survived to a common extent in the memories of later generations. Clay had to run several times to make a gener- al impression on posterity, as did Bryan, we be- lieve. But the name of every man who ever got so much as a single vote or the vote of a single delegation is there somewhere in history indel- ibly recorded in the proud page, and his own descendants, at least, may be depended on _ to find it and pass it on from generation to genera- tion and mention it whenever opportunity offers. Consideration for posterity should prompt every man who has the means to secure if pos- sible at least one presidential vote. It is the only indestructible tombstone. It is vastly bet- ter than a marble shaft, for in this country peo- ple are not generally given to making pilgrim- ages to the tombs of their ancestors. It is better than a memorial chapel, a cathedral even, or any number of libraries. It is better than bio- graphies. It is the only enduring niche in’ the perpetual hall of fame. hi hi hn -~ Fr Art criticism in Chicago is almost as éruel and inhuman as our own. Speaking of some new and nude figures of Apollo and others that top the Clark street building, the lady president of the Chicago Culture Club says: “The objectionable features of these statues should be removed with a sledge hammer and chisel.” She appears to have borrowed the recent but famous dictum of our distinguished St. Louis art knocker upon his first visit to Art Hiil.

The feature of the formal canal-opening festivities at Cairo two years later was the first production of ‘“‘Aida,”” an Egyptian grand opera by Giuseppe Verdi. ‘Aida”’ was composed for the occasion. It is Verdi's master- piece. It will be sung when the Suez Canal is full of balloon ballast and the Dervishes are playing golf. It is the marvel of musicians, It Was com- posed in less than a year, to fill an order; yet its grandeur is beyond that of anything else Verdi did, and it is one of the great operas. If there was such musical afflation in one cana, there should be inspiration in another. A few years more, and we shall open the Panama ditch; but the musical possibilities of this approaching event seem to be wholly overlooked by the bear hunters, rough riders and hard-fists at Washington. They haven't the artistic foresight necessary to forsee our chance on the Isthmus. They probably suppose that the opening festivities will consist of a few cock-and-bull fights, and one of those fool naval parades. Only a lot of pianola players and muscular banjo twangefs out of a college glee club here and there, they don’t know that here is our chance to add some good American name like Dabbs.or ‘Tubbs to the brilliant galaxy composed of Geunod, Donizetti, Flotow, Verdi, Wagner, Bel'ini, Bizet, Mozart, Puccini, and the others—Europeans all—who have given us grand opera. They don’t know that in music we are rated as barbarians, and that this is our opportunity to force the little German bands that come over in the steerage to regard us as equals. Europe chides us with having no conception of music. That is not true. The truth is that we usually have a bear hunter or a duck hunter for President, surrounded by other such. wild types. Persons of artistic temperament have about as much chance for a Government position from which they might influence the national trend, as a saloon has for a new license when the school children begin to march. If you or I, who see the chance at Pana- ma, should go to the White House tomorrow to sug- gest to the President that he commission some Amer- ican composer to write such an opera for production at Panama or Colon in the sweet bye and bye, we would emerge horizontally tn about two minutes, and wouldn’t come down before next Friday. But more anon, when this has soaked in. FOLLOWING THE HOUNDS.

NY OA AS A ILO COS tie Sy PY WHEN MISSOURI OWNED HER RAILROADS. + A Story of High Finance in the 50s Which Destroyed Many Lilustons and Cost the State Many Millions of Dollars. _ -e *e- ~~ By WALTER B.

Siate the wreck of railroad enterprise would not heve been so complete. [In 1836 and the years im- mediately following, there were importunate advo Cates of State ald. Mass meetings were held. Con ventions were organized. Ringing resolutions were adopted. Illinois was contributing millions for ral!- reads within her borders. The influence of this boom of the nearby neighbor was felt on the west Bide of the Mississippi. It did not, however, result in action. Partly owing to inherent conservatism, partly because of the waterway facilities, Missouri! moved slowly in the building of railways. In 1839, 2000 steamboats arrived at the St. Louis wharf. Not ‘until 1851 was ground broken and construction. be- gun on the edge of Chouteau Pond_for the first rail- road out of St. Louis. The bed of Chouteau Pond is now the famous Mill Creek Valley, traffic than through any land channel of like width fn the world. The spot where ground was broken in ‘1851 was a few blocks east of the present Union Station of St. Louis. Missouri reserved no rate power over raliroads. Charters granted from 1847 to 18657, railroad beginning and construction, companies to fix their own passenger and freight rates. In specific terms they exempted the railroads ‘from the operation of the general statutes on the ‘Subject of rate regulation. Like some other West- ern and like some Central states, Missouri as a re- gult of the desire to stimulate railroad extension, sued charters with extremely liberal provisions. But, as was not the cage in mapy other states, Missouri, through the disastrous effeets of the Civil War, for- tunately found the opportunity to amend radically: ‘her relations with the roads. The policy of State aid to railroads began in Mis- souri in 1851. Charters were granted and bills were passed authorizing the issue of bonds, guaranteed by the State, to construct railroads. The condition attached to the aid was that the railroad company ust put up $50,000 of its own funds for each grant Of $50,000 bonds by the State. This policy was given free trial until 1855, when the people of Missouri made the disagreeable discovery that the State had author. ized the issue of $9,000,000 of bonds; that the railroad building was rogressing very slowly; that the cost was twice or three times the original estimates; that these bonds which had commanded a premium when issued were below par and selling at an alarming discount. A change in the policy was imperative, but » the change that took place seems inexplicable to this fereration, which cannot, realize the railroad mania of that decade before the war. The railroad companies admitted that they were at the end of outside resources. They had raised und spent all that could be obtained in subscriptions from counties, cities, and individuals, They made the astounding proposition that the State authorize the issue of $10,000,000 more in aid bonds, $19,000.00) in all. They asked that this aid be made available to them as they contributed, not dollar for dollar as before, but $1 of their money for $2 of State bonds. Fine promises were made that with tnis aid the roads would be pushed through to the western and south ern borders of Missouri. Strange to teli. lators were convinced by the reasoning that with this additional $10,000,000 the roads would be completed anc that without it the State might lose what had been put io. The bill passed, authorizing the issue of $10,000,000 to be applied in the proportion of $2 of al wand to $1 val railroad : evens.

STEVENS. Gov. Sterling Price vetoed the bill, and in doing go he said to the General Assembly: ‘'The bill is tanta- mount to a measure to bankrupt the Treasury and to blast the reputation of the State.” He charged that the companies in bad faith had sold aid bonds and used the proceeds to pay interest upon previous is- sucs instead of for construction. But the Assembly passed the bill over the veto. Durinz two years the bonds were issued on the new basis of $2 of the peo- ple’s money for $1 of the railroad money. Railroad building went on slowly through the Ozarks. In 1857 came the financial crisis. The issue of aid bonds was suspended. Tempted again by the hope of a spurt which might rush the roads to completion, the Legislature authorized large issues cf bonds on condition that the railroads expend small sums, prac- tically giving the company these issues. Beginning with 1859, the companies, one after another, ceased paying interest on the aid bonds. The State, to main- tain its credit, was compelled to issue and sell addi- tional bonds to meet the defaulted interest, In the spring of 1861 came the war. The companies stopped building railroads. The State stopped paying interest ou the bonds. ‘The results of the ten years’ policy of aid to railroads stood as follows: STATE RAITLROAD AID BONDS ISSUED. es deeeecccecce bs icwav eu $ 7,000,000 Southwest Branch Iron Mountain Cairo & Fulton Platte County North Missouri 700,000 4,350,000 OE Sas ies ee ie es snes cere kdbee we $20,701,009 The discounts and commissions for the selling o* these bonds were $2,713,826. The net cash to the rail- roads was. $17,927.174. And not one of the railroads was completed. Cities and counties had contributed threugh subscriptions $7,200,000. The State aid had been $2.°1 for every dollar put in from city, county, and private subscriptions. Of private subscriptions t» stock the companies had obtained only $1,500,000. Of the $27,917,000 put into Missouri railroads in the decade before the war, $26,400,000 was public funds. or about $17 of the people’s money to every dollar raised by the railroad companies from private in vestors. With the return of peace in 1865, Missouri faced a railroad problem that required four years for solu- tion. It held first liens on the roads. Principal and interest of this railroad aid debt reached $31.735.0° before the policy of settlement had been fully carried out. No advocacy of permanent State ownership was developed. Popular sentiment almost universally de ftmrnde.. completion of the roads across the State. (n- der such conditions of public feeling, Gov. Thomas C, Fletcher recommended and the General Assembly J operation by the pasted measures which at the same time foreclosed the liens and transferred the roads on conditions in- tenéed to expedite construction and to save 45 much as possible on the bonded debt. Each road presented a problem different from the others. One road which gave the State most trouble and prompted the exper!- mor: i. railroad operation by the State was known ier as the Southwest Branc.; it is now a part of the main stem of the Frisco system. Of this road the State took actual .possession under circumstances which Gov. Fletcher explained to the General Assem- bly in a special message in January, 18€8, as follows: “The Southwest Pacific Railroad was disposed of to Gen. John C. Fremont, who offered for it, under all of the cireumstances, a very liberal price. He was then represented and believed to be wealthy and able to influence a large amount of capital for such an en- terprise. He united it with the Atlantic) & Pacific Railroad, a corporation which was organized under an act of Congress with power to build a railroad from Springfield, Mo., to the Pacific Ocean, with a grant of laud for that purpose exceeding in quantity atid value any grant ever made to a corporation in America. He paid $325,000 to the State, as required by the terms of the sale. “On the expiration of one year from date of sale I was satisfied that the sum of $500,000 had not been ex- pended in the work of ‘graduation, masonry, and 8u- perstructure of the extension of the road, as required by the contract. The conjractors and laborers were not paid: but little worn being done; the means ‘ a? and credit of the compan\ appeared to be exhausted; al‘ of its operatives and employes were unpaid; and no reasonable ground remained for hope of a com- pliance on its part. Under the power given me by law, I took possession of the road and appointed Gen. Clinton B. Fisk agent, to operate it until the General Assembly shall otherwise dispose of the same for the purpose of foreclosing the State's lien or mortgage.’ A report of about six months’ operation of the road by the agent of the State shows receipts to have been $118,970.83. The expenditures for the same period were $112,006.38, but the expenditures covered much more than operating expenses. Gen. Fisk retained the working organization of the road. As the receipts exceeded expenses, he paid ta officers aud employes the salaries and wages past due, applying in th'‘s wavy during the six months the sum of $18,535.29. The report further shows the purchase out of the receipts of several thousand ties. An engine house was built at Little Piney. A tank house at Sullivan was added te the equipment. The report concludes: ‘‘Extensive repairs have been made on engines and cars, ang the track bas been placed in most excellent condition.” In a special message the Governor recommended that the road be given away to secure its completion.

RUBINOW, ' ' Chief of the Division of Foreign Statistics of the United States Department of Commerce. OMESTIC service today is nothing but benevo- lent feudalism. It is a system so pernicious that the inevitable revolt has not only set in but has gathered full headway. It began years ago, and until a change of conditions actually takes place the repugnance of women for domestic service will continue to grow until our homes are entirely denuded of servants, The problem of domestic service is one that cannot be treated lightly or solved easily. Its ultimate solution is inevitable and will be brought about, I firmly believe, almost as speedily without as with the aid of the public itself. The time is not far distant when domestic service will either be desii- tute of women or will be conducted under a system that will remove a!l social stigma from the work and permit those engaged in it to maintain them- selves as the heads of their own homes. [ have studied the problem for several years. The research I have made has been carried on in- dependently of my work in the service of the Gov- ernment. I began it and have carried it on through a sincere interest in a question that seems thus far to have defied solution. I do not claim originality for any views that I now have on the problem. All that I have done is to collect and set forth facts, which I think are obvious, and to point out what seems to me to be the natural trend. A vast servant majority of the superficial students of the question and a surprisingly -large number of more careful investigators, it seems to me, have fallen into a common error. They have expressed a firm conviction that the exodus of women from domestic service into stores, offices and factories is due to a tendency on the part of women to try to avoid the duties of housework. The exact opposite condition, I believe, exists. The women of today, as much, if not more than ever before, long for their own homes. They want to be mothers. They want to have their own parlors, their own dining rooms and their own children. Domestic service, for two reasons, puts these am- bitions further and further from their reach. The lesser reason, unfortunately but undeniab'y, is trues There is a certain amount of social stigma attached to work as a _ servant. This sends the young laboring man to the factories for his brie, The second and by all odds the graver reason is the state of absolute servitude in which domestics of all classes are held by their employers. The young or old woman tbat is hired as a maid servant of any class is virtually hired for 24 Her day's work begins iong before the are awake, and never ends or hours @ day. members of the family until far into the night. Just as justly as the store girl, the factory girl, the stenographer or any other hired employe in the world has his or her fixed hours of service. so should the domestic. She should be expected to report at a certain hour and be permitted to leave at some other fixed hour. If unforeseen circumstances, such as often arise tn the household, make it necessary to keep her busy after hours, then she should have extra pay. That domestic work solitary work cannot be denied. That the domestic would prefer to be called Miss or Mrs. So-and-So is immaterial. Such trifilng complaints would never cause a class of work that in 1870 attracted 48 per cent of all the women employed in the United States to deteriorate in popularity until 1900 saw only one-half the number, or 24 per cent, of working women so engaged. The solution is not so simple. Treating “help’’ well: will not of itself make domestic service popu- lar. If it would we should have all the house help we want. The fault is with the entire system, and it will have to be entirely changed achieve the result we desire. All sentimentality should be eration. It isnot necessary or desirable that the maid or the cook or the woman for general housework should be made a part of your house- hold. The women do not desire it themselves. I am met most frequently by the argument that household service, ‘by its very nature, cannot be reduced to any system that will make it possible to establish fixed hours. If the argument be good, and I care not whether it is good or bad, then the technical organization of the home is at fault. If in order to get ‘‘help’”’ the housewives of the fu- ture are compelled to grant them fixed hours, they will so arrange their work as to comply with the inevitable.

The young couple today can move into a steam-heat- ed flat and do without “‘help’’ at all. Such a thing | is not possible in Germany. If so decided a step in advance has been made, why vwannot the progress continue? ; We must simplify our households. No matter how radical a change we make, it is inevitable. The wom- en who employ domestic help must learn to forego slave driving. In what I have said I have used the word servant. It is a term that is absolutely forbidden in my own home. My own children do not know its meaning. In fact, it should have no meaning in connection with domestic help. Domestics in several to time to organize. cities have tried from time Unions have existed for brief periods, yet they seem, thus far, never to have be- come permanent. .For my own part, I cannot see why domestic help should not be organized as well as plasterers, printers or any other workers. Legislatures, too, seem persistently to have over. looked domestic labor in all their enactments. Why this should be so I cannot conceive. There is surely as much need for limiting the number of hours of service demanded of a domestic as there is for limiting those of a factory hand. It is something, I believe, that has been overlooked more by acc!l- dent than by intentional design. I think the time is not far distant when the law will step in and say it is a crime te make @ woman work 16 and 17 hours at a stretch. In Europe they have a way of asking 12 hours of service from employes, but they give them one and one-half to two hours in the middle of the day for luneh and rest, and the result is a much easler work day than our American day of eight or ten hours at a stretch, with only time enough out for a hasty standing luncheon. If the nature of your household be such that you cannot get all the work done in eight take 12, but find time to give your helpa And then, if or ten hours, resting spell in the middle of the day, you must. keep her late, pay her.

| WHEN MISSOURT OWNED HER RAILROA DS. oo “A Story of Hich Finance in the 50s Which Destroyed Many eee e BY WALTER B. STEVENS. Reprinted by Special Permission From Appleton’s Magazine. P T is almost forgotten that some forty years ago ] Missouri tried State ownership of railroads. The experiment cost the people about $15,000,000, not to mertion several years of hard thinking. The Governor of Missouri became a railroad man ager. He established rates, ran trains, maintained th> t'acks, even added betterments to the properiy. He showed balances on the right side of the leiger. The Governor was proud of the record of rallroal inauagement by the State. He gave the facts in his incesages to the General Assembiy. But he did no! advise continuance of State ownership. experiment was on a scale somewhat impressive for those days, it did not suggest to the popular mind a permanent policy. The Governor told the Legislatur~ and the pecple that ‘ise paramount want" was com. pleted railroads, In that view public sentiment co- incided. State ownership found no advocates. Hav- ing ownership, the State deliberately disposed of it and substituted power to regulate. Missouri did not yleld readily or extravagantly to the early agitation for railroads. But for the para- lyzing effects of the Civil War upon her as a border ‘Blate the wreck of railroad enterprise would not heave been so complete. In 1836 and the years im- mediately following, there were importunate advo cates of State ald. Mass meetings were held. Con ventions were organized. Ringing resolutions were adopted. Illinois was contributing millions for rai!- reads within her borders. The influence of this boom of the nearby neighbor was felt on the west side of the Mississippi. it did not, however, result in action. Partly owing to inherent conservatism, partly because of the waterway facilities, Missouri moved siowly in the building of railways. In 1839, 2000 steamboats arrived at the St. Louis wharf. Not until 1851 was ground broken and construction be- gun on the edge of Chouteau Pond for the first rail- road out of St. Louis. The bed of Chouteau Pond is mow the famous Mill Creek Valley, the great rail- Way artery of St. Louis, through which flows more traffic than through any land channel of like width in the world. The spot where ground was broken in ‘1851 was a few blocks east of the preseat Union Station of St. Louis. Missouri reserved no rate power over ratiroads. Charters granted from 1847 to 1857, the period of railroad beginning and construction, autborized the companies to fix their own passenger and freight rates. In specific terms they exempted the rallroads from the operation of the general statutes on the ‘Subject of rate regulation. Like some other West- ern and like some Central states, Missouri as a re- sult of the desire to stimulate railroad extension, is- sued charters with extremely liberal provisions. But, as was not the cage in mapy other states, Missouri, through the disastrous effe@ts of the Civil War, for- | tunately found the opportunity to amend radically her relations with the roads. \ The policy of State ald to railroads began in Mis- souri in 1851. Charters were granted and bills were passed authorizing the issue of bonds, guaranteed by the State, to construct railroads. The condition attached to the aid was that the railroad company ust put up $50,000 of its own funds for each grant ,@f $50,000 bonds by the State. This policy was given free trial until 1855, when the people of Missouri made the disagreeable discovery that the State had author. ized the issue of $9,000,000 of bonds; that the railroad building was ‘progressing very slowly; that the cost was twice or three times the original estimates; that these bonds which had commanded a premium when issued were below par and selling at an alarming discount. A change in the policy was imperative, but . > the change that took place seems inexplicable to this gereration, which cannot, realize the railroad mania ef that decade before the war. The railroad companies admitted that they were at the end of outside resources. They had raised and spent all that could be obtained in subscriptions from counties, cities, and individuals. They made the astounding proposition that the State authorize the issue of $10,000,000 more in aid bonds, $19,000.00) ir all. They asked that this aid be made available to them as they contributed, not dollar for dollar as before, but $1 of their money for $2 of State bonds, Fine promises were made that with tnis aid the roads vould be pushed through to the western and south ern borders of Missouri. Strange to tels lators were convinced by the reasoning that with this additional $10,000,000 the roads would be completed and that without i the State might lose what had been put fn. The bill passed, authorizing the issue of $10,000,000 to be applied in the proportion of $2 of the legis.

While the WALTER B. STEVENS. Gov. Sterling Price vetoed the bill, and in doing so he said to the General Assembly: ‘‘The bill is tanta- mount to a measure to bankrupt the Treasury and to blast the reputation of the State.’ He charged that the companies in bad faith had sold aid bonds and used the proceeds to pay interest upon previous is- sucs instead of for construction. But the Assembly passed the bill over the veto. Durinz two years the bonds were issued on the new basis of $2 of. the peo- ple’s money for $1 of the railroad money. Railroad building went on slowly through the Ozarks. In 1857 came the financial crisis. The issue of aid bonds was suspended. Tempted again by the hope of a spurt which might rush the roads to completion, the Legislature authorized large issues cf bonds on condition that the railroads expend small sums, prac- tically giving the company these issues. Beginning with 1859, the companies, one after another, ceased paying interest on the aid bonds. The State, to main- tain its credit, was compelled to issue and sell a4ddi- tional bonds to meet the defaulted interest. In the spring of 1861 came the war. The companies stopped building railroads. The State stopped paying interest ou the bonds. “The results of the ten years’ policy of aid to railroads stood as follows: STATE RAILROAD AID BONDS ISSUED. ESS ET RE a sadu tu nwa $ 7,000,000 Southwest. Branch 4,500,000 Iron Mountain 3,501,090 Cairo & Fulton 659,090 Platte County 700,000 North Missouri 4,350,000 Total $20,701,009 The discounts and commissions for the selling o” these bonds were $2,713,826. The net cash to the rail- roads was. $17,927,174. And not one of the railroads Was completed. Cities and counties had contributed ‘hrcugh subscriptions $7,200,000. The State aid had been $2.°1 for every dollar put in from city, county, and private subscriptions. Of private- subscriptions ts stock the companies had obtained only $1,500,000. Of the $27.917,000 put into Missouri railroads in the decade before the war, $26,400,000 was public funds, or about $17 of the people’s money to every dollar raised by the railroad companies from private in vestors. With the return of peace in 1865, Missouri faced a railroad problem that required four years for solu- thon. It held first liens on the roads. Principal and interest of this railroad aid debt reached $31.735.0° before the policy of settlement had been fully carried out. No advocacy of permanent State ownership was developed.

pass+d measures which at the same time foreclosed the liens and transferred the roads on conditions in- teneed to expedite construction and to save 45 much as possible on the bonded debt. Each road presented a problem different from the others. One road which gave the State most trouble and prompted the exper!- mew: 1. railroad operation by the State was known ier as the Southwest Branc.; it is now a part of the main stem of the Frisco system. Of this road tLe State took actual possession under circumstances which Gov..Fletcher explained to the General Assem- bly in a special message in January, 18€8, as follows: “The Southwest Pacific Railroad was disposed of to Gen. John C. Fremont, who offered for it, under all of the circumstances, a very liberal price. He was then represented and believed to be wealthy and able to influence a large amount of capital for such an en- terprise. He united it with the Atlantig & Pacific Railroad, a corporation which was organized under an act of Congress with power to build a railroad from Springfield, Mo., to the Pacific Ocean, with a grant of land for that purpose exceeding in quantity afd value any grant ever made to a corporation in America. He paid $326,000 to the State, as required by the terms of the sale. “On the expiration of one vear from date of sale I was satisfied that the sum of $500,000 had not been ex- pended in the work of ‘graduation, masonry, and 8uU- perstructure of the extension of the road, as required by the contract. The congractors and laborers were not paid: but little worn being done; the means and credit of the compan appeared to be exhausted; of its operatives and employes were unpaid; and no reasonable ground remained for hope of a com- pliance on its part. Under the power given me by law, I took possession of the road and appointed Gen. Clinton B. Fisk agent. to operate it until the General Assembly shall otherwise dispose of the same for the purpose of foreclosing the State's lien or mortgage.” A report of about six months’ operation of the road by the agent of the State shows receipts to have been $118,970.83. The expenditures for the same period were $112,006.38, but the expenditures covered much more than operating expenses. ven. Fisk retained the working organization of the road. As the receipts exceeded expenses, he paid ta officers and employes the salaries and wages past due, applying In th‘s way during the six months the sum of $18,533.29. The report further shows the purchasé out of the receipts of several thousand ties. An engine house was built at Little Piney. A tank house at Sullivan was added te the equipment. The report concludes: ‘Extensive repairs have been made on engines and cars, and the track bas been placed in most excellent condition.”’ In a special message the Governor recommended that the road be given away to secure its completion. Legisiution paved the way for the organization of a company which guaranteed extension. The agent of the State, Gen. Fisk, assisted in the organization of the company, continuing to operate the road at a profit until the company was ready to give the guar- antees required and to take over the property. In the foreclosure of the State’s liens and in the sale of the roads to the new companies, as each set- tlement was made, was found the opportunity to which this far-sirhted Governor drew attention.- The experiment of :;ailroad ownership is an historical fact which has speciai interest at this time. Of greater significance, perhaps, is the regulation feature which was meade part of the readjustment of relations with the railroads of Missouri. al‘ 7 a ” * s 2 * . * ra At that time the State practically owned every mile of railroad in Missouri.

Fremont, who was dispossessed of the Southwest Branch, had been the head of the Republican ticket for the presidency.

The problem of domestic service is one that cannot be treated lightly or solved easily. Its ultimate solution is inevitable and will be brought about, I firmly believe, almost as speedily without as with the aid of the public itself. The time is not far distant when domestic. service will either be desti- tute of women or will be coriducted under a system that will remove a!l social stigma from the work and permit those engaged in it to maintain them- selves as the heads of their own homes. [ have studied the problem for several years. The research I have made has been carried on in- dependently of my work in the service of the Gov- ernment. I began it and have carried it on through have defied solution. I do not claim originality for any views that I now have ou the problem. All that I have done is to collect and set forth facts, which 1 think are obvious, natural trend. A vast majority servant question of the superficial students of the and a surprisingly large number seems to me, have have expressed of women from common error. They that the exodus fallen into a due to a tendency on the part of women to try to avoid the duties of housework. The exact opposite condition, I believe, exists. The women of today, as much, if not more than ever before, long for their own homes. They want to be mothers. They want to have their own parlors, their own dining rooms and their own children. Domestic service, for two reasons, puts these am- bitions further and further from their reach. The lesser reason, unfortunately but undeniab'y, is true. There is a certain amount of social stigma attached to work as a servant. This sends the young laboring man to the factories: for his brie. The second and by all odds the graver reason is the state of absolute servitude in which domestics of all classes are held by thelr employers. The young or old woman that is hired as a maid servant of any class is virtually hired for 24 Her day's work begins iong before the are awake, and never ends or hours a@ day. members of the family until far into the night. Just as justly as the store girl, the factory girl, the stenographer or any other hired employe in the world has his or her fixed hours of service, so should the domestic. She should be expected to report at a certain hour and be permitted to leave at some other fixed hour. If unforeseen circumstances, such as often arise in the household, make it necessary to keep her busy after hours, then she should have extra pay. That domestic work is solitary work cannot be denied. That the domestic would prefer to be called Miss or Mrs. So-and-So is immaterial. Such trifilng complaints would never cause a class of work that in 1870 attracted 48 per cent of all the women employed in the United States to deteriorate in popularity until 1900 saw only one-half the number, or 24 per cent, of working women so engaged. The solution is not so simple. Treating “heip’’ well: will not of itself make domestic service popu- lar. If it would we should have all the house help we want. The fault is with the entire system, and it will have to be entirely changed achieve the result we desire. All sentimefitality should be eration. It isnot necessary or desirable that the maid or the cook or the woman for general housework should be made a part of your house- hold. The women do not desire it themselves. I am met most frequently by the argument that household service, ‘by its very nature, cannot be reduced to any system that will make it possible to establish fixed hours. If the argument be good. and I care not whether it is good or bad, then the technical organization of the home is at fault. If in order to get ‘“‘help’’ the housewives of the fu- ture are compelled to grant them fixed hours, they will so arrange their work as to comply: with the inevitable. to left even out of consid- many

In this country steps along those very lines - POST - DISPATCH | DECEMBER 29, 1907 ~ DOMESTIC SERVANTS ARE VANISHING. + An Official Student of the Problem Says We Must. Sis Rass Our Households and Foreet Onr Benevolent Feudalism. Hi ISAAC J4.RUBINOW have been taken in advance of European countries. The young couple today can move into a steam-heat- ed flat and do without “help”. at all. Such a thing. is not possible in Germany. If so decided a step in advance has been made, why vannot the progress continue? We must simplify our households. No matter how radical a change we make, it is inevitable. The wom- en who employ domestic help must learn to forego slave driving. In what I have said I have used the word servant. It is a term that is absolutely forbidden in my own home. My own children do not know its meaning. In fact, it should have no meaning in connection with domestic help. Domestics in several cities have tried from time to time to organize. Unions have existed for brief periods, yet they seem, thus far, never to have be- come permanent. For my own part, I cannot see why domestic help should not be organized as well as plasterers, printers or any other workers. Legislatures, too, seem persistently to have over- looked domestic labor in all their enactments. Why this should be so I cannot conceive. There is surely need for limiting the number of hours of demanded of a domestic as there is for limiting those of a factory hand, It is something, I believe, that has been overlooked more by accl- dent than by intentional design. I think the time is not far distant when the law will step in and say it is a crime te make ; woman work 16 and 17 hours at a stretch. In Europe they have a way of asking 12 hours of service from employes, but they give them one and one-half to two hours in the middle of the day for lunch and rest, and the result is a much easier work day than our American day of eight or ten hours at a stretch, with only time enough out for a hasty standing luncheon. If the nature of your household be such that you cannot get all the work done in eight or ten hours, take 12, but find time to give vour helpa resting spell in the middle of the day. And then, if you must keep her late, pay her.

They wil! bute between 500 and 1000 expense - account books among as many different families of laboring people and see that every item of expense that enters into living in St. Louis ts entered properly. _ At the end of 12 months these family expense account books will contain fig- ures showing ex&ctly whet it costs to live in attferent neighborhoods in St. Louis. ‘y Mrs. Jexsie P.

What is spent for grocenihe, clothing, rent, amusements, street car fare, fuel, ‘aundry, shoes, household goods and im- provements, must be recorded in the bobdks. The Sage Foundatien Fund, created by Mrs. Russell Sage, will bear the expense of the work. The principals will have to Ccevote eight hours each day to the work for the entire 12 months. The agsistants and volunteer workers will be called on when their services are needed. Mrs. Sage contributed $10,000,000 to this fund. The School of Philanthrophy was al- lotted $5500 to investigate the cost of liv- ing in St. Louis and to gather statistics on county outdoor relief work. William T. Cross of Missouri and Edwin B. Miller of Denver have been selected to visit different counties and find out how much money was spent for poor relief, how it was spent and who received it. Educttes for Charity Work. . The St. Louis School of Philanthropy was founded by W. H. McClain of the Provident Association and its purpose is to educate people for sociological and charitable work. At the National Con- ference of Charities and Correction at Milwaukee last summer, the school sug- gested five subjects for investigation to the trustees of the Sage Foundation Fund, and of these the cost of living and poor relief in the counties were selected and meney appropriated to pay the expense of the work.

He will not allow any place, whether drug store, restaurant, cafe or suloon, to re smain in business if it sells drinks alone to women unattended out- side of meal hours. In every case in which a violation of this rule becomes known the hand of the Excise Commissioner will reach out and confiscate the license of the of- fender.

LONDON, Dec. 28.—_As the crowning sensation of the matrimonial tangle in which Helen Maloney, the daughter of Martin Maloney, the Standard Oil mag- nate, involved herself when she eloped with Samuel Clarkson, comes the an- nouncement that the heiress will short- ly be legally married to the Englishman, with whom she is madly infatuated.

NEW YORK, Dec. Grover Cleveland, 28.—Ex-President under the title of “Our People and Their ex-Presidents,” has contributed an interesting article to the Youth’s Companion for January. Referring to the poverty of Jefferson after he left the Presidency as a blow (o national pride, Mr. Cleveland de- clares definite and generous provision should be made for the maintenance of chief magistrates at the end of their terms. He deals with the -subject at length, and explains that he feels he can do so without his sincerity being questioned, since he is beyond the need of aid from the public treasury. Not Met by Pension. - “The condition is by Mr. Cleveland writes, "by the meagre and spasmodic relief occasionally fur- nished under the guise of a military pension or some other pretext; nor would it be best met by making com- pensation dependent upon the discharge of senatoria) or other duty. Our people ought to make a definite and generous provision for all cases alike, based on motives of justice and fairness and adequate to the situation.’ Mr. Cleveland describes the limitations that his former high office places on a retired President in his choice of occu- pation and means of livelihood, and how popular conception of him as a reposi- tory of national dignity enforces a scale no means met,’ WOMAN DEAD OF HEART DISEASE AND BROTHER KILLED BY FALSE REPORT THAT SHE WAS SLAIN Pie” Special to the Post: Didpatgh.

St. Louis practitioners agree with the finding. Health, they say, is made the price of vanity and style. Most women excuse the wearing of the open-work waist by pointing to the furs they twine about their necks. The furs, they contend, offset the fllmsiness of their waists. Inspection of the shop- pers who flit from store to store on cold ddys, however, proves that, like the waists themselves, the furs better serve the purpose of ornament than protec- tion.

With the same preference for looks rather than health, the furs are allowed to swing loosely from the neck and across the shoulders, so that the lace and embroid@ry of the front yoke may be seen cnd admired.

That the Maloneys were not ignorant, either of the Osborn affair or of her later desire to become the wife of iarkson; that she used every method ie induce an unyielding father to help her out of her difficulty and unite her to the man of her choice before she proceeded to extreme measures and braved the scandal to obtain what she had failed of by milder means, are the salient points of Miss Maloney’s course. Banished by Her Father. When the lover went to Mr. Maloney with proposals for his daughter’s hand Mr. Maloney flatly refused to entertain them. He banished him from the house and refused to hear his name mentioned. It was then that Helen took matters into her own hands. She constantly went to” New York on shoppings tours and on each of these excursions Clark- son met her. Together they canvassed their chances of bringing about the con- sent of her father, and, when this seemed hopeless, they determined to elope. It was a long time before the girl would give her consent to this step, and not until she felt it to be the only way of extricating herself from a position grown intolerable.

Worrall, After Fight With Combine, Is a Suicide. ALLY, TURNED ENEMY Once Member of Monopoly Which He Drove Out of Business. . ’ €pecial to the Post-Dispatch. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 23.—Thomas D. Worrall, known on every farm in the Northwest as “the man who whipped the grain trust,”” was found dead in his real estate office here this afternoon. He had killed himself by drinking car- bolic acid. “Tom’* Worrall, big, bluff, good- natured, had a peculiar blend of con- science and inborn love of a fight. For many years he was a member of the grain trust himself and threw all his tremendous energy into developing and building up its “system.” Then he re- pented. He did not lag when conscience called. but turned ‘about face in a day and began the memorable confilict which stirred the whole wheat growing coun- tr’ and became one of the most spec- tacular dramas in the history of Amer- ican finance, with “1oem" Worrall al- ways at the front of the stage and in the very center of the spotlight. Bared Sccrets in a Book. He threw down the gauntlet to the grain trust by writing a book, wherein he bared his own heart and the secrets of the grain trust. “T have done my duty,” he wrote, ‘‘T have made what reparation I could for the wrongs I have committed. I have shed the sunlight of publicity on the grain trust and now I leave it to the people to deal with it as they see fit.’ For years he had suffered from rheu- matism and neuralgia. He had a par- ticularly severe attack several days ago. Friday evening he left home presum- ably on a business errand. He never was seen alive again. Writing a fare- well letter to each member of his family he spread his overcoat on the floor, sat down on it and drank a glass of acid. The body was found by Cc. M. Bran- gon, his partner. His fight with the grain trust began when he started @ “shovel house” at the little town of Agnew, Neb., near Lincoln. He was refused cars until he finally buiflt an elevator. The Oma- ha Elevator Co., which had an ele- vyator at that point, fought bitterly to run him out. He lost money, but finally he itulated. ‘ He admitted that when he joined the trust he worked as heartily with it as he had against it. Sickening of its methods, he withdrew and start- ed the Worrall Grain Co. at Omaha, Driven from this he invoked the law. Commission Goes Over State. Norris Brown, Attorney-General, be- gan suit to crush the trust and ‘““Tom” Worrall was the chief witness. From place to place about the State the commission traveled, taking depost- tions. All independent elevator men and all members of the trust were brought before this tribunal and sub- jected to withering examination. Al- ways there was “Tom W orrall, primed with facts and questions. The grain men were subjected to relent- less grueling. Again and again admissions of a price ‘‘system” were wrung from them. Confessions of pressure upon the railways to kill rivals by car delay were made. Always underneath this alleged butchery of rivals Was merciless crushing of prices where- by to reap the greatest posaible margin from the farmers, The grain men pleaded with Wor- rall to let up. He said he was of- fered vast sums of money to keep al- lent. He laughed in their facea, Keeping up apparently friendly re. lations with all of them he blasoned their secrets without malice or merey, The depositions all completed, the case was thrashed out in the Mupreme Court, the hearing consuming 4 year Grain Men Are Enjotned, In 1906 a blanket injunction Was te- sted by the Supreme Court forever enjoining the grain men of the State from conspiring to fix prices anonge each other or in any manner haimp- ering competition.

Immediately after Mary Westendorf swallowed carbolic acid early Sunday, a girl was born to her in her room at 6020 Michigan avenue. The mother and child were found by residents of the house, who heard the cries of both, and broke in the yeung woman's door.

MAYOR TELLS WHY ATLANTIC FLEET SAILED About a year ago I received in- formation from a reliable source that a Japanese with a photograph- ic outfit was observed engaged in making careful sketches of the res- voirs which hold this city’s supply of water, also that Japanese were engaged in making sketches and taking photographs of the hiiis im- mediately adjoining and to the west of this city. I reported this to the Federal authorities at Wash- ington. Yesterday in an address of welcome to the officers of the Oregon National Guard I referred to it and asked if they were as well informed respecting the value of the strategic points about: this city as was the inquisitive and in- dustrious gentlemen of whom I spoke. HARRY LANE, Mayor of Portland, Ore. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 28.—Mayor Lane, who informed the National Guard convention here that Japanese spies had obtained war maps ef this city, says: “I told the President that I did not wish any reply or to be informed of any action that might be taken, but I think that probably secret service agents were sent and that their representations were of sufficiently grave import to cause the dispatching of the Atlantic squadron to the Pacific Coast. “I first learned of the activity of the Japanese in this neighborhood one year ago from a policeman, who discovered one of them making a plan of the west- ern portion of the city. Immediate in- vestigation was made by me leading to the startling discovery that the Japa- nese had obtained first-class maps of the city and its surroundings.”’ The Mayor says that the immediate territory about Portland contains hordes of drilled Japanese, some of whom are officers in the Mikado’s army or have been such, some as high as major-gen- erals. He declares that they largely control the military situation in Oregon at present, being employed in large numbers by railroads and being intrust- ed with immense supplies of powder. Why Didn’t They Buy a Map? WASHINGTON, Déc. 28.—If Mayor Lane of Portland has complained to the Government that Japanese spies have been making maps of the city, no- body here knows anything about it. A War Department official said: ‘“‘What did the spies want to make a map of the city for? Why didn’t they buy one? You can get a good one out there at any news stand for a quarter.’’ POSTOFFICE CLERK ARRESTED Cuba (Mo.) Employe Accused of Rifling Mail.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 28—A case of dual personality scarcely, if ever, surpassed in criminal annals has been revealed, it is claimed, by the Brooklyn police, by the incarceration in Raymend Street Jail of a pleasant-faced, mild-mannered, well-dressed young man who gives his name as Louis Wolf. Though Wolf has been for a year or more @ prosperous and respected rug manufacturer in East New York, he is accused by the police of being a skillful professional pickpocket who has served prison terms in Chicago and St. Louis. He is néw locked up on the charge of grand larceny, it being alleged that he picked $50 from the pocket of a Ridge- wood man named Heller some weeks ago on a Myrtle avenue trolley car. Capt. Kuhne, in charge of Brook- lyn dctective headquarters, said to- night: “There is absolutely no doubt of the identity of Louis Wolf, the rug maker, with the Louis Wolf who served terms in Chicago and St. Louis for pocket picking. We have one charge against him here, and de- tective Reynolds declares he is the man who attempted to pick his pock- et recently. Have St. Louis Picture, “My idea is that Wolf, when he came to Brooklyn from the West, really meant to settle down in some respectable busi- ness and outlive his past. But he saw such ‘easy marks’ on the street cars that he was unable to resist the tempta- tion to resume his old occupation. We have his photograph from the rogues’ gallery of St. Louis, and it is an even better picture of him than we have taken for our own gallery. He does not admit either his guilt on the present charge or his identity with the Western crook.”’ Accordins to the police, Wolf, who is years old and unmarried, came to Brooklyn from Chicago in 1906 and opened a carpet and rug factory at Fulton and Bradford streets. He called it the “Textile Rug and Upholstering Works,” and he had a partner, the name of the firm being Wolf & Will- mer. Some time ago this*firm was dis- sclved, and Wolf kept in the business for himself, his new cards reading the “Textile Rug Works.”’ Aceused by Detective, Three months ago Detective James Reynolds was riding on the platforra of a Ralph avenue car, when he felt a hand in his pocket. He accused two men on the platform. They got off Reynolds caught one, who proved to be Wolf. Thé other man also was cap- tured. When Reynolds charged Wolf with trying to pick his pocket wolf grew angry and pulled out his business ecard. He made such a stromg argument that Reynolds, after locking Wolf up on the charge of disorderly conduct, weakened on the pickpocket charge and let it drop, believing that he might have been mistaken. Nothing more was heard of Wolf by the Brooklyn police until two weeks ago, when he was locked Heller's GRAVES IS ELECTED PRESIDENT Twenty-seventh Ward Republican ae 4 : to mak New York Governor here is to start boom in his behalf for President. §§= Circuit Attorney Sager, who is now — in New Orleans, ig reported to be in charge of the plans to have Gov, Hughes visit St. Louls. Some time ago, ac cording to reports tn political circle Mr. Sager attempted to arrange for ; dinner for Gov.

FOR TWO MEN Nude Body Found in New Jersey Pond Positively Identified. if ON TRAIL OF SLAYER Now That Mystery Is Lifted Detectives Expect Ar- rest Soon.

HAT FOUND IN RIVER Corresponds to Description of Clothes Worn by “Annie O’Keefe.”

NEW YORK, Dec. 2%.—The veil of mystery enveloping the tragic death of the young woman whose nude body was found half submerged in water and mud in a lenely road near Harrison, N. J., . Thursday, is being rapidly lifted. De- tectives working on the case believe that the slayer of the woman, who was identified today as Annie O'Keefe, or Annie Nevins, will soon be run down and arrested. The identification of 3 dead wom- an was st made today by Mrs. Mar- garet Wrigut, who conducts an em- ployment bureau in Montclair, N. J. She said that the woman had calied on her earlier in the month and asked for em- ployment. She gave the name of Annie sou gu but did not state where she ved. Late this afternoon Mrs. Wright's identification was practi corrobo- rated by Detective Sergeant Draybell of Orange, N. J., who said the woman's name was Annie O’Keefe and that he knew her well two years ago, when she was employed in the home of Thomas Nevins, a contractor, in Orange. Since that time, Sergt. Draybell states, the woman waé employed in the weeny St in several places in and about Hat Found in River. The hat worn by the murdered wom- an was found this afternoon in the Passaic River and turned over to the police. It is a sealskin turban and matehed the collarette and muff that were found near the body.

IUSBAND LURES FRIEND OF WIFE T0 MUTILATION -

Weineke Says Crane First In- tended to Use Gun Instead of Knife. IS PLANNED

REVENGE

Indiana Man Began Schemé to “Even Up” Against Chum Months Ago:

Henry Weineke, who was bound, chlereformed and mutilated in a room- ing house at 3 South Twenty-second street, believes that death by shooting was the fate first chosen for him by William Crane, his employer and life- long friend, with whose wife Weineke was in love. That Welneke was lured to St. Louis by Crane for the purposes of a swift vengeance is the theory on which a gen- eral order for the arrest of Crane has been sent out. For three years Weineke had been employed as a farmhand by his friend and chum, Crane. He lived at the Crane home and was treated as one of the family. Husband Hears Gossip. Gossip connected his name with that of Mrs. Crane and was heard by the husband four months ago. He said nothing, but Weineke believes that he began at once to plan for revenge. He sent his wife and two children to the home of her father, George Stader, near Neosho, Mo., and made prepara- tions to fellow her. To .Weineke he was as friendly as ever. He talked of the money to be made in the mines in the country around Neosho and begged Weineke to accompany him there. Together they | left Seymour Thursday night and ar- rived in 8t. Louis Friday morning. Drank and Played Cards. They went to the rooming house on Tvwrenty-second street and engaged a room on the second floor. Fer three hours in the afterneon they drank and played cards in their room. Weineke lay down on the bed and Crane sat at the table playing solitaire. Once Crane arose, went to the corner where Weineke’s shotgun rested and picked up the weapon and examined it. | He put it down and returned to the card table. Weineke says that he remembers no more until he awoke in agony. His hands and feet were bound with ropes. A pillow case saturated with chloroform had. been pulled over his head and tied about his neck with a cord. After struggling nearly an hour he released his han and freed his head from the pillow case. He fainted, and when he. came to, half an hour later, he untied the rope which held his feet. Again he fainted. Staggers Into Hall, At 4 a. m. he arose, and, staggering into the hall, he called for help. Thomas Howell, husband of Mrs. Mary Howell, keeper of the house, went to his aid. Howell summoned the police and Wei- neke was taken to the City Hospital, where it is said he will recover. He says that Crane had two revolv- ers when they went to the reoming house. This appeared to him as un- usual, because he knew that Crane had never carried firearms. He recalls, too, that Crane urged him to take his shot- gun with him when they left Seymour. He told Weineke that Neosho was in a fine country for hunting.- When Weineke suggested that the gun be sent on by express Crane told him that it might get lost. Crane bought shells for the gun and carried them in his grip. Weineke says that he believes that when Crane picked up the shotgun in their room he meant to use it. " Orane Carried in Bundles. Mrs. Howell says that Crane left the house several times during the aft- ernoon and that each time he carried a bundle when he returned. His final departure from the house was at 6:30 p. m., half an hour after the time when Weineke says he went to sleep. Crane is considered wealthy. He owns three farms near Seymour. He studied medicine and surgery for two years in Louisville. Each of the men is 81 vears old. They were born and reared in Seymour and went to school together.

——-@-o<- President’s Son Now Goes to Visit Miss Grace Colvin Alone—She Says She Is “Very Fond of Him.” :

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2.—Little Miss Grace Colvin, daughter of a letter carrier, awoke, this morning to find all Washington talking of her as the ifttle girl who had wen Quentin Roosevelt, youngest son ef the President, away from his toys and his bey friends. The home of the Colvins, a modest three-story frame house, was besieged by newspapers reporters, all anxious to set an interview with the little girl Supposed te have beaten the younger maidens of the smart set to the heart of the President's son. The family has thought nothing more of the friendship between the little girl of the house and Quentin Roosevelt than between Grace and a dozen or more boys of the Ferce Schoel and the neighborhood who are fond of the same little lady. When a reporter fer the Post-Dispatch called at the Colvin heme a bright little boy of 14 was waiting te take Grace to a Sunday-Scheol entertainment. Are “Very O14 Friends.” Quentin, who is 10 years old, has been a visitor to the Colvin home for more than two years, and he and Grace are, conscyuentiy, “very old friends.” At first he used te go there attended by the secret, service man, who always took him to school, but of late he has gone about himself. A few days ago, how- ever, he overstayed his time. ..e had been playing with Grace in the front yard, and, remembering that he was due at the White House, he asked Mrs. Colvir “please to tell him the time.”’ Mrs. Colvin teld him it was after 4 o’clock, and he gathered up his books and trotted off. A few minutes later the secret service man loomed up. Both reached the White House at the same time, and Quentin was roundly teased by the attaches for beirig late. He is a sturdy ttle chap and cannot be teased, however, so he simply tossed his head and said: “Well, . was having a good time, anyway.” — Grace is a pretty little girl, who does not look a day older than her 12 years, She has large, expressive brown eyes and dark brown hair. Her ieatures are reguiar and she has a bright, winning way. She is not at all pleased with the attention she has attracted, nor are her parents. “Not a Sweetheart,” She Says. Grace, an unassuming little girl, re- gards Quentin not as a President's son, but as one of Ler schoolmates, who is a congenial companion and & very bright boy. They play games together during the schoel recess and very often after the classes are over. But she re- sents any idea that Quentin is to be regarded in the light of a sweetheart. “Quentin is one of my friends,” she said, “and I am very fend ef him. But he is not the only one. Yes, I received a Christmas gift frem him, but he is & very thoughtful little boy, and I guess he wanted me to know that ne had net forgotten me at Christmas. “We have gone to the same school for twe years, and everybody over there likes Quentin. He is nice to everybody and you would never think of him as the President’s son, but as a fine play- mate ahd a good-hearted little boy. He is full of fun and knows so many things that other boys don’t. He has been coming around to play with me after achool for a time, and we have had lots of fun.”’ Neither Grace ner her parents could be induced to say what the Christmas gift wags that Quentin sent to the Co)- vin home. The little girl received more than thirty remembrances altogether.

FINANCIERS AND GROCERY. LOOT NSHIPWRECK ——_

Special to tre Post-Dispatch. NEW ORLBANS, La., Dec. 2.—Flee- ing with $24,000 werth of greceries, Wil- liam Adler and Moses Schwartz, finan- ciers, who wrecked the historic State National Bank of Louisiana and the New Orleans Grecery Co., are ship- wrecked on Glover’s Reef, #0 miles frem their goal, Porto Cortez, Honduras. Their vessel, the Alps, met heavy weather in the Caribbean Sea and was washed onto the rocks of Glever’s Reef. The mate got to Belize in a boat to seek aid of the maritime department of the United Fruit Co. Word of the ship- wreck was telegraphed from Belize to New Orleans. It is thought here that relief probably has been dispatched to the ship and that her passengers, together with their groceries, have been rescued. The operations of Adler, Schwartz and their associates amazed the Southern business world for ten days. Then came the crash and the flight en the Alps.

Burns, who left the home of her sister, where she was recovering from a recent illness, Thursday morning, and was not found until this afternoon. Search for Mrs. Burns had been in progress since she failed to return home after leaving ostensibly for a walk. The attention of a farmer driving across a field was attracted by a dog, and upon investigation the man found f woman’s body in a gully. Approach was prevented by the dog, which held off all who came near unti) his master, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Burns, ar- rived. The dog was almost famished after the long vigil. It evidently had made frantic efforts to arouse its mistress by pulling at her clothing, which was found to be badly torn. Sought Place te Rest. “If I could only find a deep gully I believe I could lie down and rest,’’ Mrs. Burns had said. She had been suffer- ing from nervous prostration. She had come here from her home in St. Pau! to recuperate at the home of her sis- ter, but she had not been as well lately, and as nervous spells came over her she showed a desire to roam about the hills. Long walks were not uncommon, and with her always was the collie dog that stood guard over her to the last.

ders. The Pest-Dispatch refrained from bid- ding fer the reason that cheapness, and not circulation, determines the award, and the Post-Dispatch, with its great circulation, could not, in fairness to its commercial .advertisers, compete in cheapness with newspapers which have a small circulation. Small Circulation Needed. The contract was awarded to the Times on its bid of 37% cents a square of 20 ems; equivalent to ten lines of Post-Dispatch type. In other words, the Times is to receive about 3% cents a line for the legal advertisements to be print- ed by it. This is based on a required circulation of 5 per cent-ef the popula- tion of the city, as shown by the United States census of 1900. The census figures being 575,238, the circulation re- quired of the bidder is enly 28,761. All the bidders made affidavit that their circulation exceeded this requirement, but none of them stated how much. As the circulation of the Post-Dis- pateh exceeds the requirement by 500 per cent, its bid, ff it had seen fit te bid, would have been correspondingly great- er. It would not have been justified in bidding less than 18 cents a line, as against the 3% cents of the Times, Lowest Bid Fails, Inasmuch ag it is the practice of the judges, in making the award, not to f+ take. into account the superiority of a | bid based on a large circulation to one t ‘ a emall circulation, it would

PATTERSON ON STAND

Ex-Senator Tells How He Was _ Attacked by Rival Journalist.

FEUD OF MANY YEARS

Trouble Grew Out of Business Competition, Then Be- came Personal.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 2%.—Fred G. Ponfils, one of the proprietors of the Denver Post, refused to plead to the complaint charging him with assault and battery upon former Senator Thomas M. Patterson, principal owner of the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Times, in Justice Thomas Car- lon’s court today. The court thereupon entered a plea of not guilty and the trial was begun. Mr. Patterson related the . circum- stances of the attack upon him, and be- fore his examination was finished the hearing was adjourned until Monday next. The severe beating which was ad- ministered to former Senator T. M. Pat- terson by Bonfils last Thursday came as the result of a warfare which has been carried on between these men for the last 10 years, although uniil Thursday it had been bloodless. The encounter has by no means caused a cessation of hostilities and there is ev- ery indication that they will continue indefinitely. Bonfils, the chief proprietor of the Denver Post, is a middle-aged man of robust physique, energetic and of strong passions. Patterson owns the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Times He is now over 60 years old. He be- gan life as a jawyer and made a repu- tation in criminal cases. He has always taken an active part in politics, where his policy has invariably been to domi- nate his party or wreck it temporarily. Business Rivairy Causes Row. The Se originally grew out of busi- ness rfvairy between the two papers. When Bonfils got control of the Post it Was a small paper. He was a wealthy | man and spent his money freely in building it up. He attacked the Times, his afternoon rival (not then owned by Patterson) and also the Rocky Moun- tain News. This fight was kept up for months. The Post claimed that the News was exaggerating its circulation, and Patterson, in his paper, retorted in kind. This was before the affair had reached the stage of bitter personalities which have marked it in recent years, although even then the charges which were made were so strong as to excite comment. Then tame a circulation contest, each paper putting up a certain sum of money. The examination was conducted by a@ committee of business men. This was won by the Post, which was not at all backward in gloating over its .Yival. Soon after this Patterson bought the Denver Times, and since then the fight has been waged in earnest. With the Times Patterson purchased what has since been his principal weapon against Bonfils. The paper had been under the control of certain public util- ity corporations. Men at the head of them, angered by the constant attacks made by Bonfils, sent to Kansas City, where they obtained what purported to be facta concerning his record before he moved to Denver. According to these statements, which were published in the Times before Pat- terson got control, Bonfils had conduct- ed lottery games, described as swin- as @ vagrant and once for running iot- - teries, and finally had been driven out by the Chief of Police.

The humane cruelty of slaps, blows and lashes with switches and wet tow- els, by which physicians seek to pre- vent persons poisoned by morphia from sinking into fatal sleep, has saved the lives of 40 men and women at the City Hospital in the past two years, accord- ing to Assistant Superintendent Shank- land. Public attention was called to the use of these violent means by the Cor- oner’s investigation last week of a broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises probably inflicted at the City Hospital, according to the doctors who treated Henry C. Corey, an aged man, in their vigorous attempt during three weary hours to save his life. They admitted lashing him with wet towels and compressing his chest with al. the strength of their hands to induce artificial respiration. But, as the pa- tient was almost dead when he reached the hospital, their labors were in vain. Results Justify Methods, ‘The probability of causing a few bruises or even broken bones,” says Dr. Shankland, ‘‘weighs as _ nothing against the possibility of saving a hu- man life. The public is accustomed to the amputation of a leg to save the whole body from blood poisoning. The instances are parallel.”’ Medical authorities are agreed that in severe cases of opium poisoning the most extreme measures may be used. Death in such cases is not caused, ag is popularly supposed, by sleep, but by the padalysis of the respiratory centers, which sleep allows to become complete. As long as the patient can kept awake, he is able to breathe by the ex- evtion of his will. Dr. Hobart Amory Hare, an eminent physician and medical author, advises that the patient be kept awake by beat- ing him with switches and walking him up and down between attendants. Ex- cept in extremities, however, he holds both measures to be reprehenstble, the first causing cuts and bruises, and the eccond making death by exhaustion pos- sible. Slapping in Face Effective. Dr. Horatio ©. Wood, another authori- ty, advocates shouting in the ears, flag- ellation with fine, sharp twigs and shak- ing. He is also in favor of alternate douches of ice cold and hot water as a means of preventing sleep. Dr. George M. Gould, editor of American Medicine, is also in favor of lashing, loud nolses, and strong shocks from an electric cur- rent. Dr. William Osler, however, dep- recates all these methods as likely to be injurious, and lays all stress on proe- ducing artificial respiration. “Cine of the best methods,”” says a City Hospital physician, ‘‘is to arouse the patient's anger by slapping him re- peatedly with enough force to sting, on both sides of the face. His indigna- tion is often strong enough to keep him awake for several minutes. Repeat the puffets when he begins to sink once reore into slumber." Up to today, 18 cases of opium poison- ing have been treated this year at the City Hospital. Of these five died. Laat year the number of cases was 36, with only three deaths.

ATI7 PER CENT

Judge Grosscup and Other Stockholders Pay Victims of Mattoon Disaster.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, MATTOON, Ill., Dec. 28.—By an or- der entered in Circuit Court late Friday evening, all claims for damages against the Central Illinois Traction Co. as a result of the interurban wreck of Avg. 3%. in which 18 were killed and 50 in- jured, are settled on a basis of $41,000, and prosecution is dropped. This is about 17 per cent of the claims. Judge Peter 8S. Grosscup, Marshall E. Sampsell, Arthur W. Underwood and Francis 8. Peabody, Chicago directors of the company and the heaviest stock holders, acting independently of the company in November, submitted to at- torneys representing the claimants a proposal to settle for $40,000, which sum they declared they would voluntarily raise among themselves. The proposal was accepted, and the attorneys toox up the task of scaling down the 653 claiins, aggregating $235,000, to the ap- propriation. Mrs. William Cole, mother of two lit- tle boys who were killed, and who wa3 herself terribly.injured, and Mrs. Lowry Price, claimant for damages for per- sonal injuries, refused to settle upos that basis. Forced to Accept Terms. The attorneys held another confer- ence, and wired Judge Grosscup. The latter agreed to dig up an additionai $1000 for the benefit of the dissenters. and Judge James. W. Craig, in Circuit Court Friday evening, apportioned this among the two women, giving Mrs Cole $3000 in all and Mrs. Price $500, and informing them that they must ac- cept. The two claimants declare that they will carry their claims to the highest ceurts rather than settle for the amount fixed by the court, and a long fight is expected. Other claimants will accept the sums agreed upon, which range from $200 to $2200 for death, and from $2 to $2000 for personal injury. This settlement brings an end to the petitions alleging fraud in connection with the $1,850,000 mortgages against the company held in trust by Chicago trust companies. The petitions attacking these mortgages and accusing Judge Grosscup, Sampsell, Underwood, Pea- body and other men high in financial and social circles of Chicago with con- spiracy to defraud the creditors of the traction company and the holders of the common stock were filed itn Circuit Court soon after the traction company went into the hands of a receiver. The purpose of the petition was to have the receivership dissolved, and the company declared solvent in order that judg- ments might be recovered on the suits for damages. Now that settlement has been made, the prosecutfdOn will be dropped. Criminal Indictments: The 12 indictments for manslaughter against Grosscup, Sampsell, Peabody, Underwood, President E. A. Potter and other officials of the company wili be called at the January term of court. Motions to quash will be reecived at this time and the grand jury which returned the indictments has been retained so that, if any of the indictments should be found poor, new ones may be re- turned. Repeated rumors that the indictments against Grosscup and his friends are to be modified and that criminal negligence rather than manslaughter will be Charged are energetically denied by State’s Attorney McNutt, who declares that the cases will be vigorously prose- cuted. President E. A. Potter, in an inter- view with a Post-Dispatch correspond- ent this morning, declared that the get- tlement was the first step toward the dissolving of the receivership, and that it is probable that when the company passes out of the recelver’s hands it will pass into the hands of Congressman W. B. McKinley, head of the Illinois Trac- tion System, who long has desired to make it a connecting link in an electric railway from St. Louis to Indianapoiis.

HELD WIT MEN Conspiracy Like That in Rice- Patrick Case Charged Against Trio.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.—Charging the ex- istence of a conspiracy similar to that leading to the famous Rice-Patrick mur- der in New York, the Englewood police took action in the strange case of Miss Anna Nolan today. Warrants for conspiracy were served on Attorney Moses D. Brown, A. 8S. Ket- ly, a broker, and Ruth E. Laughlin, who nursed Miss Nolan until the police broke into the Nolan home and removed the aged and wealthy woman to St. Ber- nard’s Hospital. The warrants were served when At- torney Brown, Mrs. Laughiin and Kel- ly appeared in Municipal Judge Petit's courtroom to answer charges of resist- ing an officer. The resistance occurred in their effort to prevent the removal of Miss Nolan ‘ast Wednesday night. Attorney Brown, after the warrant had been served upon him, pleaded with Capt. Storen of the Englewood Station not to have him locked in a cell. He was permitted to remain in the court- room in custody of a detective while awaiting bail. Bailey was placed in a cell, and Mrs. Laughlin was given into the care of the matron at the Engle- wood Police Station. The discovery that while the old wom- an was in the hands of the trio she transferred valuable real estate at Ab- erdeen and Fifty-ninth streets to Mrs. Laughlin for a consideration of $% caused the police to obtain the new war. rants. Their original action in raiding the Nolan home at 1221 Fifty-ninth street was inspired by the statements of neigh- bors, who said the friendless old wom- an was being held in a helpless condi- tion and ‘“‘doped’’ with whisky. She was so stupefied that she has not recovered ability to make a coherent statement, although under the best hos- pital treatment for three days.

CROWDS AT KLINBE’S. ~_— —— Clearing Sale Prices Prove a Great Attraction. That the women of St. Louis are quick to take advantage of a bona fide bargain opportunity is shown by the remarkable response to Kline’s an- nouncement of their Semi-Annual! Clear- ing Sale, which was inaugurated Thurs- day at noon. Each day their handsome store at 509 Washington avenue has been crowded to its capacity and the coming week promises to surpass last week's phenomenal! selling record. The success of this sale is not sur- prising, in view of the extraordinary reductions that have been made throughout the store. All ladies’ suits, costumes, coats, wraps, waists, skirts, furs and trimmed hats are cut to half price, and many lines are offered at even greater reductions. Imported costumes are offered at $60 and $100 costumes at $30; $60 opera coats go at $2% and fine $30 longcoats for $14.95. All finer and medium qualities are offered at corresponding reduc- tions. The sale will continue from day to day until all of this season’s goods are disposed of. The assortment, however, is at its best now—and the advantage of early selection will be apparent.

EE < Piles ee = _ 2 Roosevelt Gives Governor That Long to Call Special Session, a

--ASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—President Roosevelt wired Gov. Sparks of Nevada today that unless Gov. Sparks isstes a call within five days for a special ses- — sion of the Legislature, the troops sent to Goldfield on aceount of the fear of miners’ riots there will be withdrawn, He ordered Gen. Funston to disregard his previous instructions to withdraw the troops Monday, and to leave them in Goldfield five days longer. In Mr. Roosevelt’s telegrams he says that the Constitution distinctly pro- : vides that if Federal troops are needed request shall be made by the Legisla- ture of the State, and that Gov, Sparks: has admitted that there is no obstacle to calling the Legislature. This,, Mr Roosevelt says, is the first duty of the State. 3 Gives Him Five Daya. “If, within five days from the receipt of this telegram.” the President con- cludes, “you shall have issued the nec easary notice to convene the Le | | of Nevada, I shall continue the station of troops at Goldfield during stich of three weeks pe gy: | to , that body).

In the course of his telegram he said: “As Chief Magistrate of the State of Nevada I have been of the opinion for the past year that a condition border- ing on domestic violence and ingurredce- tion has existed in the Goldfield mining district. There has been an almost cof- stant state of war between the miners” union and the mine‘owners, who employ the members of the union.

BLESSINGS IN FLURRY Financial Pinch Has Caused Readjustment on Sound Basis. RESOURCES ARE BUFFER Farm and Mineral Products So Rich They Keep Coun- try on Feet. BY S&S. S. FONTALNE. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The year 1907 will take Its place in history among the great epochs of business and industrial depression which, fortunately, develop only at very long intervals in business ennals. Since the United States first took its place among the important commercial nations there have been only eight of these great financial up- heavals. The first took place in 1812 and fol- lowed the declaration of war with En- gland, There have been a number of minor panics, but in the judgment of finan- clers, the upheavals of 1837, 1857, 1873, 1893 and 1907 have been the great panic vears of the country’s history. It is now generally conceded that the upheaval, from which the country is now rapidly emerging, was due primar- ity to causes which have existed in some measure in nearly every civilized coun- try throughout the world. They were over-production, over-expansion of en- terprises, over-extension ef credits, in- sufficient capital and over-speculation. Country Stretched Finance. As a result of six years of prosperity gnterprise had come to disregard the safe limits of conservatism, banking practices ignored customary safeguards, speculative undertakings were pyra- mided in every direction, commodities, real estate, stocks, bonds and all other evidences of wealth were given fictitious valuations, until a great paper struc- ture was erected whole collapse was in- evitable at the first breath of adversity.

A TENDENCY TO HONEST DEALING AND FAITH IN ONE ANOTHER, SAYS GEN. HOWARD. BY OLIVER OTIS HOWARD. (Major-General, U. 8. A., Retired.) BITRLINGTON, Vt., Dec. 28. To the Editors of the World and Post-Dispatch, | as my own points of observation men and women in their daily lives in 1907 have shown a tendency toward moral uplift. In every community there are some glaring exceptions, but, as ever, the exceptions prove the rule. Faith in one another and faith in God is still the common creed of our American people. For a public man reputation varies, but take if all in all, I consider Theodore Roosevelt to have made the greatest reputation in public life during the year. Our present relationship as a nation to every other nation with which we, as a world power have to do, indicates to my mind a continuance of peace during 1908. In several nations there are evidences of internal disturbances—disturbances that will continue until hu- man rights are secured more and more on the basis of justice to all concerned. Our labor troubles, our monop- oly strifes, our agitations for better city governments, show tendencies to better conditions. Perhaps our race riots are more suggestive than any other thing of a spirit of barbarism still latent in our model Republic. Of course the remedy, slow in coming, is in right educa- tion, followed up by continuous right doing. Fortunate for the world is the great fact that there is an infinite living Shepherd who has in his keeping all the peoples of the universe. He will guide each mem- ber in his own way, and make 1908 more memorable than 1907. “CHRISTIAN SCIENCE,” SAYS MISS BARTON, “LED IN DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCES.” BY MISS CLARA BARTON.

REICH THINKS WE SHALL SOON HAVE TO WRITE THE OBITUARY FOR MUSIC. BY EMIL REICH. (Author and Lecturer.) LONDON, Dec. 28. By Cable to the Editors of the World ana Post-Dispatch. ONTEMPORARY great art consists of painting, sculpture and decorative work. Architecture is more or less orphaned by the spirit of the age. Even the sculptures of our foremost artists have the agly habit of reminding us of attempts at writing mod- ern poetry in Greek. Latin, the language of marble so far as beauty in repose is concerned, is lost. Beauty of movement and character may still be found in Robin, St. Marceaux, Sicard and a few others, but we have no longer either plastic minds or Plastic emotions, The.excessive urbanization of the majority of Europeans has changed sentiment into thrills, hilar- ity into titillation, pluck into n ervosity. All this suits painting more than seulpture, and it is in painting where some relatively great works were produced. ‘ Of music we shall soon have to write the mortuary ce. no- The over-urbanigation mention kills music first. NEAR RB PM te eR DE IIR A ag sesh aT exten All Lines ‘a Business Have Shown Steady Growth Since the World’s Fair. BY W. F. SAUNDERS. Secretary Business Men’s League, T © story of the growth of the commerce ef St. Lovig would be more interesting than a novel of Balzac if people could bring to its reading the understanding that on the growth of the trade of every city and of every nation depends all development in the sciences, the arts and even the moralities. Too many think of commerce 45 only sordid; of trade as something narrowing, necessary to the world, but not bettering. In 1887, when the freight carried into St. Louls and out was 9,272,717 tons, the bank clearings $894,527,731 and the value of the product of all the factories of the city was so smal! that the railways in making freight rates did not even consider St. Louis as a manufacturing town but only a jobbing center, who would have sug- gested to the people to tax them- selves for a free public library, or for the maintenance of a great hall where they might go and look at the paintings. In 1907, when the fa¢tories of St. Louis are producing and selling more than three hundred million dollars’ worth of material, ranking the city as the fourth manufacturing city of the United States; when the bank clearings are more than three bil- lion dollars, and when freight car- ried in and out of the city is more than fifty million tons, the people of St. Louis find themselves not only with a free library and an art mu- seum, but looking with sympathy upon propositions to tax themselves for beautiful public thoroughfares, for parks, for more comfortable and artistic public buildings; for more humane treatment of the weak and sick. should be profoundly interested in its business conditions, in what the city’s tradg has been in this year, and in the outlook for the next year. All the lines of business in St. Louis have grown steadily since the World's Fair, which all of us are taking now commonly as a dating point; and last year, spending nearly thirty million dollars on building, the city showed a greater percentage of increase in that respect than any other city In the United States. During the year of 1907, every line of business except building shows an increase. Manufacturing hag grown greatly—we have added more than a hundred good factories with capital Fe shouta be who lives in St. Louis New Year’s Increase Over 1907 Should Reach Ten Per Cent, Says Saunders, of nearly eighteen million dollars this year. The wholesale business, even taking into account the quiet of the last six weeks, shows a gain over the figures given last year of between six and ten per cent, Thée retail] business for the year gained enough before October to compensate for the dullness. The volume of this trade was increased much, of course, by the 1705 new mercantile concerns, mostly retail, which, with an addition to the mercantile capital of more than twenty-three million dollars, began business this year. EAL estate has held its own re- markably. Mr. A. H. Freder- ick, President of the Real Es- tate Exchange, tells me that the year has been excellent, that the prices of land are keeping up and the whole business is on a very firm basis, The population of the city, consid- ering the U. 8. census reports, the Postoffice receipts, the street car travel and the local directory esti- mates, all of them, when compared carefully, giving a competent guide to an approximation approaching accuracy, may be safely set down as 750,000. The business during 1988 should easily surpass by 10 per cent that of 17. Cr indications in our trade territory so far as.can be seen now are unusually good, and the territory itself is growing very fast. Moreover, St. Louis ts enlarging its trade terri- tory and going into the southeastern states, as well as the southwestern. The city has made strong commercial friends this year, by its work for river improvement and by the help its benks gave to the South and the Southwest this fall. This is not on the surface, but it will show very distinctly in the trade reports of next year. STEADY STRIDE IN WIRELESS acquaint myself with the greatest novels of the year, Much of Beethoven is fast aging. If Richard Strauss be our last ray it is a Roentgen ray, unfleshing fine forms, but not warming us like a ray of hope. Music, like the oracles of old, is in retired places. From Bohemia comes J. Czerny, that one man who tells us a novel in eight bars. In him is real music, but so far only of violét size. I am afraid the conserva- tories have done to music what they always do to fruit; they have watered it down to tastelessness. Perhaps the invention of new instruments may save us. FATHER VAUGHAN DEPLORES PEOPLE’S RUNNING THROUGH LIFE AT TOP SPEED. BY FATHER VAUGHAN. (Catholic Primate of England.) LONDON, Dec. 28. y Cable to the Editors of the World and Post-Dispatch. | THINK the world is getting more and more restless and discontented. It seems as if every one wants to be like a motor car and run through the ways of life at top speed. It cannot be done without a break- down or a collision or both. If man’s mission in life were to catch the speed fever and rush like a motor gone mad, screaming through life, leaving nothing after him but a cloud of dust, be it road dust or gold dust, why then, instead of being a human being, he ought to have been a glorified dust bin. All this fever, fret and fume, all this dissatisfaction with what is and craving for what is not, is to any thoughtful man a fine proof of the immortality of the soul, with its resting place in the byusom of God. YEAR’S GROWING TASTE FOR IBSEN. BY HERMAN SUDERMAN, (German Dramatist and Novelist.) BERLIN, Dec. 28. By Cable to the Editors of the World and Post-Dispatch. RAMATIC art in 1907 produced no epoch-making work. Ibsen's death has robbed the world of its greatest dramatic poet and artist. One feature of 1907 was the growing serious attention bestowed upon the work of Ibsen in all civilized countries. This indicates that attention is being given less to sensa- tional melodrama, claptrap stage effects, costumes and scenery than formerly. America has done nothing notable. Its numerous melodramas, Indian pleces, farces, so-called comedies and burlesques are hardly serious art and could hardly bear transportation to any European stage.

There were other smal] sales, but these were the principal. America has certainly gecured the lion’s share. The United States ought to be happy that its art collecting is not done by the Government, but by private individ- uals like J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry C, Frick and others, It is questionable whether the United States has many persons in an official positon capable of education or taste to collect discriminatingly. Their museum direc- —_s certainly are not thus capable, with a few excep- ons, The chief treasures which have flowed into the United States during the year are, in addition to Mr, Morgan’s unique books, Chinese works of art, miniatures, Japan- ese metal work and Italian bronzes. Mr. Frick bought some splendid things at Lord Ilchester's sale, notably a magnificent Rembrandt of a late period. Mr. Have- meyer also bought nine Rembrandts and metal objects. Japanese collections are chiefly sold now for the United States. THEOLOGY UNDERGOING MARVELLOUS CHANGES, SAYS PROF. DELITSCH. BY PROF. FREDERICH DELITSCH.

SAYS PROF atk SLABY, Y. BERLIN "or BY PROF. A. SLABY. (Wireless "Tel Expert.) BDPRLIN, Dec. 28. To the Editors of the World and Post-Dispatch. HE past year has been one of steady advance al! along the line of my own sphere, electricity. There have been great advances in wireless ton aphy; for example, those remarkable experime ucted between the coast of Galway and mad winced ioe Nothing like perfection was attained, but that is only a question of a short time. Germany has done some remarkable work in wireless telegraphy from the station at Nauen, where has been inaugurated probably the most perfect system in the world, Wireless telephony has also made immense progress. Witness the late successful attempt between Berlin and Copenhagen. In mechanics the event of the year has undoubtedly been the development of the turbine and its successful application to shipbuilding. The year 1907 in Germany saw striking progress made in color photography. I might also mention Prof, Horn’s wonderful experiments in photographic telegraphy especially those conducted between Paris and Munich. A YEAR OF PROGRESS, SAYS SHAW. BY GEORGE BERNARD SHAW.

While the production was somewhat less than the year pre@eding, the value of the country’s crops has been greater than any year before, owing to the increased prices which these products have commanded. Farm values on Dec. 1 last, showed an increase of $483,000,000 over the corresponding figure of 1906, the record year up to that time. Mineral Output Aids. The minera] products of the United States have also added greatly to the wealth of the country during the. year.

Of this amount the railroads paid to their stock and bond holders $579,123,731; industrial companies, $298,779,739, and public service corporations, $188,089,- 601, In New York alone, during the coming January, there will be paid out in interest and dividend disburse- ments $185,600,900, as compared with $180,900,000 the years preceding, not- withstanding that 61 corporations have either passed or reduced their dividends, owing to the influence of the general depression.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Gen, Elli- ott, commandant of marines, today re- ported to Secretary Metcalf that for the first time in many months the Marine j Corps was pow up to its full comple- rent of 8800 enlisted men. Gen. Elliott reports that pot only has be. secured all the men he wants and has with- drawn the call for recruits, but he is now in a position to pick his men when there is need for furtaer recruitment.

PANAMA CANAL LOCKS AND DAMS TO BE BUILT FOUR MILES FROM SEA Move Is Decided Upon to Prevent Possible Bombardment by Hostile Fleet. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2%-—For dry strategic reasons and to prevent their possible bombardment and de- struction by a hostile fleet, the Isthmian Canal Commission has determined to change the location of dams and locks which it was originally intended te cen- struct at La Boca. They will be built instead at Miraflores, feur miles in- land, and within the zone ef safety. Fresident Roosevelt has approved the plans. It is said that aside from strate- gic reasons advanced for the change in plans, is also that of the question of cost, the saving of time in the comple- tion of the canal, and that @ more gat- iefactory foundation can be secured at Miraflores. The saving will be considerable. incinerate Booth Tarkinztos Case Dropped.

The local stage has not yielded satisfactory returns for the investment of playgoers’ funds thus far this year. We have seen some plays new to St. Louis, notably “The Hypocrites,” “Salome Jane," “John Gilayde’s Honour,” ‘The Man of the Hour,” “Father and the Boys” “Brewster's Miluons,” ‘The Chorus Lady,” “When Knights Were Bold,’ and “The Little Cherub,”’ but none of these One or two, indeed, were more or less disappointing, as stated in the Post-Dispatch at the time of their en- gagement, and there has yet to come a genuinely brilliant offering of worthy drama. The time is ripe for such a . coming. Beginning now, the public demand ts for mproved conditions—especially as people are noi spending money quite so freely as before incomes were cut down by the so-called panic now gripping their purse strings. HETHER or not the elimination of the Independents from the field of competition is the cause of the poor showing made since last Septem- ber, the fact remains that, with the Garrick relegated from the legiti- mate drama to vaudeville, there has thus far been a decline in the value of the product sent to St. Louis. Assurance is given that the bookings of the Theater Trust have not been influenced by its absorption of the Shuberts. It is said that we have received from the Trust precisely the same plays that we would ‘have received had the Garrick remained a first-class dramatic house, and we must of necessity let it go at that. But comparisons will be drawn, nevertheless—and the result of such comparisons are not flattering to the present season. it has “sagged” seriously up to date. HAT is the outloek for betterment? Let's take a glimpse at the plays we're likely to get before this season’s close and so size up the situation. Putting to one side, for the moment, the offerings still to come from ‘the Theater Trust, it is* well to remember that we have not yet seen any of the Belasco or Fiske productions, which must be beodsed at the Garrick under the old contract with the Shuberts. One of the Fiske offerings, Mme. Bertha Ka- lich in “Marta of the Lowlands,” comes to the Garrick next week. Taking the genius of Kalich into consideration, and recalling the foreign success of Angel Guimera’s fiery Spanish melodrama, this engagement should be one of | the events of the season. One of the Belasco offerings, Frances Starr, a new Belasco “discovery,”’ in “The Rose of the Rancho,” a big success in New York last season, is booked shortly to follow Kalich. Then, too, while we stand lit- tle chance of seeing David Warfield in “A Grand Army Man’”’ this year, we are reasonably certain to have Mrs. Fiske, probably in Ibsen’s ‘‘Rosmerholm,’ another of Harrison Grey Fiske's productions, and the new Belasco combina- tion of Charlotte Walker and Frank Keenan tn ‘The Warrens of Virginia.” So much for the irreconcilable remnant of the Independents, fighting the Trust desperately to the last. N Nethersole in a repertoire which includes three new plays, followed by .

It will begin the New Year well, with Olga the Century tonight, should be worth while in the line of lighter amusement. Having seen Maude Adams in a return visit of “Peter Pan” this season, it ig mot at all probable that we shall see_her in “The Jesters,”’ which will re- ceive its first American production in New York next week. It may be that we ll get Margaret Illington and Kyrle Bellew in ‘‘The Thief,”’ which has been evreces@ful in New York, but there’s a very remote likelihood of ‘“‘The Witch- ing Heur,"’ by our own “Gus’’ Thomas, perhaps the most remarkable play of the season, being permitted to leave themetropolis before next fall. We shall probably see Henry “Miller in “The Great Divide.”’ Forbes-Robertson an1l Gertrude Elliott are among the Olympic's announcements—let’s hope they’ll draw the houses they deserve when they come. Robert Mantell in a Shakspearean repertoire of which “King John” will be the novelty, is duly booked. It isn’t believed that “The Three of Us,” a distinguished New York triumph of the past two seasons, will get to St. Louis, although announced among the book- ings. “The Red Mill,”” Henry Blossom’s best musical comedy, we're sure to see. Even with ‘The Merry Widow’’ still running in New York, Col. Savage will send us a Western company in that greatest comic opera success of the “The Fool Hath Said in His Heart,”’ and also in his curious revival of his father’s famous old comedy creation, “Lord Dundreary, and Julia Marlowe in her new play, the criginal title of which, “The Joke,’’ she has changed for fear American para- graphers would poke fun at it. Leslie Carter is booked here for this season. ‘These are the “high lights’ that now show on the dramatic horizon. I the } surpassing distinction attaches to this prospect, yet it promises bet- N° ter things than we have thus far been given. A comforting reflection is that whatever changes may come later should be in the way of im- provement, We may get some big offerings upon which we cannot now count. We'll almost certainly get the best of the offerings I’ve mentioned as now being on the St. Louis list. This is good as far as it goes. In contemplating the not particularly dazzling prospect it must be remem- shabbily this season and hasn't “Sappho and Phaon,” the Percy Mackaye poetic tragedy, written for Mme. Kalich, failed. ‘‘The Christian Pilgrim,” a dramatization of Bunyan’s ‘‘Pilgrim’s Progress,”’ in which Hen- rietta Crossman was to have starred, met a similar fate. ‘‘The Step-Sister,”’ the new charles Klein play, bringing Crystal Herne to the front, itself went to the rear, rejected by New York. ‘‘The Ranger,” Themas as Dustin Farnum’s new starring vehicle, was shot full of holes’ by metropolitan critics and fled the scene. ‘The Evangelist,” by Henry Arthur Jones, met disaster. And so down the list—80 per cent of the new stage offer- i er ‘mad: in New York since September's dawn have come to grief. It’s a _ Beason cae Ry Be we'll have to make the best of if.

In the role ef a bashful young mining engineer Mr. Collier is said ta have the funniest part of his career. This will be his first appearance in St. Louls in seven or eight years. The stage has long been familiar with the pony ballet, but now It’s the Collle ballet, the most novel feature in “The Top o' th’ World,”’ the Shubert produc- tion at the Majestic Theater, New York. Six of the prettiest and tintest giris in the chorus of 87 go through a xsraceful dance with six handsome collie dogs the finest procurable in the market. The method ef training the doge for the dance was a necessarily novel one. In the first place, the degs were introduced to their mistresses early in the rehearsal season, and each one trained separately to recognize only his particular girl partner. Then each dog was educated te understand and promptly take his cue, and after long and patient work the intelligent animals learned to make their entrances and exits and take their dancing cues without so much as a word or a gesture of command.

en eteemoneaente HUGO KELLY TO TEST PUNCH OF SLUGGER PAPKE

4h yw ——_—_— or Clever Middleweight Thought to Have Task to Defeat Young Fighter in Milwaukee Tomorrow Night.

BY GEORGE SILER. (The Veteran Referee.) CHICAGO, Dec. 28. HE much-mooted question of superiority between Hugo Kelly and Bill Papke will be decided at Milwaukee tomorrow night, under the auspices of the Badger Athletic Club. The limit for the men to decide the question has been set at 10 rounds, which is not the championship route, but should prove long enough to bring forth a decisive winner. Interest in the contest is at fever heat in this section of the country and its outcome is being watched both East and West, as upon its result hinges a strong claim for the middleweight cham- pionship title. Undoubtedly the winner will claim title, but it should be remembered bof Stanley Ketchell and Joe Thomas recently fought for the championship of that division and the winner, Ketch- ell, is considered the champion by _ fol- lowers of the game in the far West. But Ketchell, it appears, does not hank- er for the honor, claIming he is a wel- terweight and that, hereafter, he will remain in that division. ™ EPORTS from the coast, however, R state he matched with Thomas at 155 pounds and that he had dif- ficulty making the weight. However that may be, Stanley says he is a wel- rweight and as such we must accept fim until the division’ in which he will @eht becomes definitely known. If a welter, his name will have to be erased from the middleweight roster. With Ketchell out of the running, for the time being at least, the winner of tomorrow night’s contest will strut as the champion. Then we expect Tom- my Ryan to come along and truthfully state he won the last battle for the title and therefore is the rightful holder of it, »But Tommy should remember he has been playing fast an. loose with the title by repeatedly announcing his re- tirement fr@m the ring and then stating he would ré-enter the game directly the money hove in sight. Ryan believes a large purse will be effered for a fight between him and the winner of the Milwaukee contest and is taking a mild course of training in anticipation of it. He does not, how- ever, state whether he will defend his title against the winner or fight the winner for the title. Tommy doeg not eare how the question is put if the money inducements are satisfactory. middleweight championship question, therefore, looks like an “ early settlement between the White fighters, but how about that for- midable colored fellow, Sam Langford? Will he be hte a hearing? Will the orting sc who are clamoring for mmy Burns to return to this country the cud- : or Langford? I doubt it. - But surely what is sauce for the goose uld be sauce for the gander. .Sam tedly has demonstrated he is one the best middleweight fighters in the country.

— Robison and McCloskey Adopt Scheme of Building Up a Team From Youngsters.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. t eee Cardinals are going to,try a new scheme to attain suc- cess in National League. . as hard as any of the club owners to land a Louis, and during that time has learned all the deta Now he has a new scheme. President Robison has worked t for St. of the game, Instead of buying his way to the championship, he is going to build his own road andi make it sure of standing the-strain. He is going to attempt to develop a team of champions from a live bunch of youngsters. It may be a slower way but he is convinced that it is the only sure way. That is a scheme that Frank Selee, the former manager of the Chicago Cubs, always adopted. Selee started the development of the present Chicago club from’ a bunch of youngsters that he knew could make geod in time. Frank Chance took up the work when Selee’s health failed him, and Chance today has a pawerful ball club, well de- serving of the tith of ‘“World’s Cham- pions.’’ K that Selee’s method is the only royal road te success, and that is the plan the Cardinals’ management has now adopted and is determined te work out, even though it take three or four years. Robison has abandoned the idea ef buying champion players te make a championship club. There is more often failure in gather- ing together a team of old-time stars than in building up a club of young men. Then, too, the fermer must work right at the start or it never will werk, and after {t has worked once or possibly twice, it usually tumbles with a terrible crash. A is shown in the case of the New ‘,™ York Giants, Four years ago Man- ager McGraw grabbed a cellection of stars that wae simply unbeatable. Mest of them were from the old Baltimore champions, and McGraw. moved. them to New “York and they simply walked through the Nationa] League schedule for two years in succession. The scheme worked that time all right and the New York Giants were theught to be the greatest bunch of ball players ever as- sembled. Then the orash came. They began te slow up and they began to know re about baseball than the manager of the club. They tumbled heautifully and the young but well developed club from Chicago thrashed them out of the lead with considerable ease. } raw the same bunch for another season, 1907, and it was shoved farther down, and now that scrappy manager is his team so that - mext season he will have an entirely d@fferent squad to fight tn the Nationa) | — battles. ha wine ola CORRINS Sem : completely broken up and was worthless. . N the other hand, the Chicago club has galloped threugh the Nattonal OBIBON and McCleskey are agreed GOOD example of the old scheme _a ‘possible from the star players. will bump Chance and his men season, and many think he is good two 7. peoes before his stars er. — to cg ney Bien! has his club just about where the cago Cu ago, when Selee young fellows and started them off in the big league. McCloskey now has the same chance to build up one ef those powerful machines that in the course of time will beat all the others out and top the National League. ONTRARY to the scheme of Robi- ( son, President Hedges and Man- ager McAleer of the Browne ag- gregation have gene out into the by- ways of the American League and roped in several veteran Stars, so that next season the Browns iteok like hum- mers. It is not Age J it teo strong to say that Hedges and his crew have a grand chance of winning the gegen in the newer erganization ef e year 1908. The n are there to win a pennant, and if the Brewns pitchers work wel! for the entire season the Browns should be right up and fighting hand-to-hand with the leaders from April till Octo- ber. It is a team that sheuld make its splurge right away. If it is going to do anything at all in the American League it must de it next season. Its greatest strength is In the present. Teo many of the men are already over the height of fame for ft to 5c Pg Next year is its year, and if it fails it might as well begin the Selee method. HDRE are a lot of managers in T the country who are doing away with the old plan of buyin seasoned players and putting them ou in. the league race. Young fellows are being abpe@ from the minor leagues with often put a single sea- son, and even less, in professional baseball. College players are being. taken right from the campus to the big league ball parks and many of them are making good. The idea of the managers and club owners is to get as many years as They do not like to see two or three of the best years of the players’ careers thrown away in the minor leagues. They want to get them before the big league fans as soon as they have learned the rudiments of th; game. Show them off while they are going at top speed and at the same time rea the a, that acrue from suc speedy playing. rk number of the fans in St. Louis have been ‘hollering’ for a new catcher and a veteran pitcher for the Cardinals. But they must remember that Johnny ne, and Roger Bres- nahan were once beginners and few pedple thought they were going to be great. It is almost impossible to get a catcher of their caliber now, but who knows but what there is one right now among the young fellows that McCloskey has on his squad. All

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.—After go- ing along for a week or more at 10 te 8, the betting en the Owen Moran-Abe Attell fight changed fer the first time y, Attell being a bit more firmly installed as favorite at odds of 7 to 10. The reason for the falling of the Mo- ran steck is attributed principally to Attell having sent to town a theu- sand dollars ef his own money to bet on himself at the best price. As far as strength is concerned, the Britisher has attained physica] perfec- tion. His work from new on will be for the sole purpose of developing speed. Attell also is in good condition.

TWO CRACK CHICAGO SOCCER ELEVENS. _ FACE LEADING LOCAL TEAMS TODAY Famous Club That Defeated the Pilgrims Meets Innisfails at Athletic Park, While St. Leos Battle With Hibernians at Kulage Park.

WO Chicago teams invade St. Louis again today, and with the promise of a drier field and ig better weather some good association football should result. The leading eleven of the Middle West, and, in fact, one of the strongest in the United States on actual results, the Chicago Association Football Club will meet the Innisfails at Athletic ‘Park this afternoon, and will face a picked eleven from that league New Year’s afternoon. The other Chicago team is the Chicago Hibernians of the Association Football League of Chi- gago, which will meet the St. Leos at Kulage Park. As several of this eleven are members of the Chieago club which plays the Innisfails, it has been necessary to draw from the Coal City eleven, and the Tallman brothers will be the recruits. The Hibernians will also stay, over to meet a picked, local team New Year’s day. Although the Chicago club is com- posed of members of different teams in the Windy City leagues, it is not in the nature of a picked eleven, as the membership has been preserved for sev- eral seasons in practicaily the same line-up as wil] be presented today. The club is promoted by a number of soccer enthusiasts of ‘yt men of ee means, who want to see a representative Chicago team always in the field. for .-+-.Goal ...Chew or Robertson inter-city contests. | wne.....Fullback ..,........, Nesbit Ever since its inception it has been | Dixon Fullback .....

The team has had many matches of interest since its erganization, meeting the Pilgrims and Corinthians, the fa- mous English picked teams sent here on missionary work, as well as St. Louls, Fall River, Mass., and Galt, Ontario. It was this Chicage team that defeated the Pilgrims, 2 to 1, after los- ing the previous day, the only changes from the line-up on that memorable oc- casion being Jack Evans at outside right and Mike Sullivan in goal. This was the only defeat administered to the Pilgrims by an American team, one Canadian team also winning and an- other getting a draw.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2%.—The Fullback Billy Abstein Sunday, and his services are expected te improve the team’s playing at least 20 per cent. Another feature will be the reappear- ance‘of the four Tallman brothers with the Chicago MHibernians. Those who viewed the contests of the Coal Citys In Kulage Park have cause to remem- ber the Tallman boys. On Christmas day, H. Tallman scored three of the four goals made by his team, fle the passing, dribbling, feeding and combination work of “Yan"’ and Will Tallman, right wing of the forwards of the Coal Citys, was the best ever ex- hibited in Kulage Park. For New Year’s day, it is more than probable that elther the St. Leos or Kinlechs wfll face the Chicago Hiber- nians. The poor showing made by the picked team on Christmas day against the Coal Citys proves that, while the team may comprise the star paowe of the league, they play out o tion, and are woefully deficient in team work. The matter will be definitely de- cided at Monday night’s meeting of the league. The line-up for today’s battle will be as follows: they pases much the better game end should have won. Today’s ganie will be called at 3 p. m., and 46-minute halves will be played. A Gaelic feotball game between the Sons of Erin and Robert Emmets will start at 1:30. The line-up for the big centest will be: Positions. St. Louis. hompson, Campbell Rovers.Forward . St. Leos Oppose Hibernians. The St. Leos will be the opponents of the Chicago Hibernians, and as they have not been defeated this season, they will endeavor to uphold their roud record st the expense of the indy City players.

CHARGES DEEP PLOTS ‘Describes “Free and Easy” Life in Villa of Her Mistress. LONDON, Dec. 2.—An_ interesting sidelight is thrown on the character and the career'of the Countess Mon- tignoso, the divorced wife of the King of Saxony, by current publication of Frau Ida Kremer’s book, “The Strug- gie for a Royal Child,” in which Frau Kremer narrates her experiences as governess in the house of the Countess during 1906. Frau’ Kremer was appointed by the King, with the consent of the Countess, instructress to their little daughter, Princess Anna Monica Pia. She was to spend a month on probation with the mother and daughter at the Flor- entine villa, after which governess and child were to go to Dresden for the child's further education with her bro- thers and sisters. Enemy of the Countess, Frau Kremer was an emissary of the Court of Dresden, and in that capacity she was Officially prejudiced against the Countess. The Countess, according to Frau Kremer, intrigued during the month of probation with a view to frightening the governess from her post and retaining her hold of the child for a further period. In this scheme she was_ successful. Frau Kremer’s ‘‘nerves’’ were constant- _ly kept at a tension by reports of at- tacks on the villa, where life was made dreadful by midnight sccurryings and repeated firlng of revolvers. Of one of these midnight alarm writes: ig s Frau Kremer “I shall never believe in the tale of last night’s burglary.

ST, PETERSBURG HAS EPIDEMIC 0 DISAPPEARANCES A. wr Sixteen Babies . Abandoned, Fourteen Bodies Found in One Day. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 28.—Teday’s police bulletins reveal a startling .con- dition of society. Sixteen mothers are sought who abandoned infants within twenty-four hours in exposed places in various parts of the city. Information is also wanted concerning the identity of fourteen un- known children whose bodies within the same time were fished out of the River Neva and the waters of the va- rioug canals which intersect the city. Seven parents have notified the police of the disappearance of sons or daugh- ters varying in age from ten to sixteen years. On the other hand the parents of thirty-three children are missing. The little ones were found wandering home- less in aifferent sections of the city. The Chief of Police attributes these happenings to alcohol and poverty, but other vices are also believed to have ex- erted an influence. Princess May Be Bomb Thrower. There are a number of other queer cases mentioned in the same bulletin which are not so easily explained. Nasmi Bey, junior military agent of the Porte; Sabbas Gardashevitch, book- keeper of the imperial bank; Viadimer Barbitcheff, a notary, and Prince Voel- onski have all disappeared within two days without leaving a trace of their present whereabouts. The Princess “Meshtsherksi disap- peared from her own house and it is believed has immured herself in one of the numerous convents in St. Peters- burg. Her husband has been corduct- ing a fruitless search for her for more than two weeks. Some account for the strange disap- pearance of the Princess by claiming that it was she \ ho threw a bomb at the carriage of Gen. Herschelman, Gov- ernor of Moscow. The woman who threw the bomb was injured but the Governor escaped. She was arrested, tried by courtmartial and speedily henged. She died without revealing her identity. Youths Seeking Adventure. Those who explain the disappearance of the Princess in this way declare that she left her husband to join an organi- gation of militant revolutionaries and willingly undertook the mission to as- sassinate the Governor-General of Mos- cow. The police bulletins reveal the fact that within the past fortnight twenty boys averaging eighteen years of age, have from grammar achools. The police think they left to ‘take part in some revofutionary move- ment.

LONDON, Dec. 28.—Pri-ce and Prin- cess Charles of Bourbon are enjoying an unconventional honeymoon. Insteadof spending the first 1 onth of their joint lives in some great palace, and sur- rounded by members of thc ‘r households, they are traveling about making an in- cognito journey which is to extend as far as Constantinople. The only other royal couple who have been equally unconventional were the Grand Duke Cyril and his bride. Their marriage was the outcome of a strange romance, tiie Grand Duke being exilc. in consequence from his native land. The usual royal honeymoon was once described by an imperial person as “among the greatest trials of a royal existence.’”’ Each country has what may be called a traditional hc 1eymoon pal- ace, where the princes and the prin- cesses of the reigning house proceed as @ matter of course on their wedding day. In Germany this palace is the old schloss or castle in Berlin. In Italy the heir apparent is expected to begin his married life in the Pitti Palace at Florence, but the most beau- tiful of royal honeymoon homes is Cin- tra, in Portugal, and there doubtless the good-looking young Prince, who is the eldest nephew of Princess Charles of Bourbon, will soon take a fair bride.

Duke of boon 28.—The hilarious LONDON, Dec. Westminster and his companions are now rather ashamed of their escapade as amateur burglars and their midnight descent upon Cholmon- deley Castle, the residence of the Mar- quis of Cholmondeley in Cheshire. The newspapers of Cheshire, where the Duke is almost an autocrat, have received a ducal ukasé to make no fur- ther reference te the matter. Tho Duke, when invited by a press association to give a statement for publication, curt- ly refused. The Marquis of Cholmondeley, though a “sport” himself, resents being victim- ized by a silly joke of this description, especially as the ducal marauding party not only shattered an ancient wooden gate when davhing away in their motor car, but also did considerable damage in the dining room of the castle. In addition to consuming large quan- lities of champagne and brandy the ducal interlopers made off with Chel- mondeley’s specially made cigars. Burglars’ Heads Not Clear. While the raid upon Cholmondeley Castle was a joke, there is unmistak- able evidence that the jokers were in a condition of obfuscation during the proceedings. They left the chairs arranged in a pyramid on the dining table of the cas- tle, the whole surmounted hy an antique silver wine cooler, in which was placed a satirical address to the Marquis. The handwriting of this literary effort was disguised cor rendered eccentric as a result of the attentions paid by the writer to the Cholmondcley champagne and brandy. The names signed to the address were also hardly decipherable, There is a suspicion that at least one woman was a member of the marauding party. A woman’s handkerchief, some- what muddy, with a coronet embroid- ered in the corner, was picked up, out- side the window through which the Ducal Raffieses entered the castle, Two thousand dollars will not pay for the damage done by the make-be- lieve burglars, especially as some silver articles which were taken away in a coal scuttle have been lost. Duke Holds High Position. The Duke of Westminster ts Lieuten- ant of Cheshire, and as such is not only the first representative in the county, but is the head and nominator ef the magistracy. Therefore this freak is frowned upon in the highest quarters. It appears that the raid was decided upon after the Duchess of Westminster had retired for the night. She knew nothing about it until the following morning. The tenants and retainers on the Duke’s estate shake their heads over the affair and say they fear he is going at teo fast a pace.

DEFENDS CHARACTER Present Ruler Half- Brother of Her Son in Address. Calls ROME, Dec. 28.—Countess Cesarina Gaddi Hercolani, who is suing King Victor Emmanuel for provision for her son (of whom she swears the late King Humbert was the father) bitterly resents the aspersions cast upon her character and antecedents by the King’s lawyers in combatting her suit. The Countess has made public this statement: “Signor Rossi, the King’s counsel, not content with denying as false what I know to be true, continues his persecu- tion by defaming me. His underhand devices, his abuse of his powers as rep- resenting the royal house, do no honor to the memory ef an exalted personage, to that memory which he pretends to vindicate. “My sole desire was that this painful affair should be settled quietly and quickly. But as King Victor Immanuel has thought it well to force upon me and the public disclosures affecting his. late father, I can tolerate these attacks no longer. Therefore, I break silence. Forced Into the Courts. “True, my honor is dead; it was killed when I was a girl of only 1. But my life was passed under conditions far different from those which Signor Rossi represents. Reduced to misery, I have asked humbly and submissively for some smal] compensation for what I have suf- fered from the King’s father, for which Humbert himself promised to indemnify me, but his untimely death prevented. “T know my plea reached the ears of King Victor Emmanuel himself, the half brother of my son, but he rejected it. When, in desperation, I appeal to the courts for justice, the King’s coun- sel, knowing I have no redress, abuses his prerogatives to savagely and pit- ilessly assail my character. “I protest against this infamous on- slaught on a woman, weak, alone, aban- doned. I claim justice against my base accusers, who curry favor with the royal house by heaping defamation and falsehoods on me.”’ “Dishonor on Gallant King.” This impassioned statement has made a deep impression on the public. The late King Humbert’s relations with her are not denied, nor is it disputed that he made her a handsome allowance be- fore he was assassinated. Nevertheless Signor Rossi eloquently tried to con- vince the court that, if it heard the suit, it would bring dishonor on the memory of a monarch who well earned the title of “‘The Gallant King.” Be- sides Rossi attempted to place the Countess in an infamous light. Now a beautiful woman of 4 years, she claims and produced evidence in court to prove that in 1880, at the King’s command, she was taken to the Quirinal to sing before the King. That night she did not leave the palace, although up to that time she had led a blame- less life, preparing for a musical career which promised brilliantly. Until 1883 King Humbert maintained her and a son was born to her. After the King's assassination she was driven to appear as an actress and pianist to support her. self and her child. The Countess insists, too, that Queen Margherita showed deep interest in her from the moment that she first ap- peared at the National Musical Exposi- tion. Mother Known As Writer. As a proof of her family’s position it wae testified that her mother was an estimable playwright and historical writer who enjoyed Garibaldi’s honor- able friendship and who long received regular monthly grants from the royal palace. On the other hand Signor Rossi tried to prove that the Countess was not only not under age, but far from innocent when King Humbert met her. The lawyer contended that she was reared in a morally corrupt atmosphere, and that her father, Count Gaddl, figures in the secret records of the Interior Min- istry as keeping gambling houses and resorts even more evil in Naples and Bologna.

PARIS, Dec. 2%.—The beautiful and mystical Marchioness of Angelsey passed Christmas in Paris. She has spent-eix months of every year at the Hotel Ritz here since she became a widow in the spring of 195. She is welcomed gladly at all the festivities of the American colony and is highly popular in French society. ' There is something mystertous, al- most uncanny, in Lady Angelsey’s beauty. Painters implore her constant- ly to sit for them but only a Greuse could do justice to her. With her Ti- tian red hair, a pink and white com- plexion and lustrous eyes, she is even more radiant than when her most ec centric cousin married her nine yeass ago. She tells her intimates dreamily that no man can understand her. But, sure- ly, she is more of @ puzzle.to women. Sir George Chetwynd’s daughter was not yet 20 when she became the bride of the head of the Paget family. Her grandmother was born Miss Minnie King of Georgia. The Marquis was an affeminate-looking young man, whose favorite diversions were acting in bur- lesques, skirt dancing and spending money. They separated on their honey- moon and the young marchioness asked the Engiow courts to annul their mar riage at a secret trial in 190. Lord Justice Jeune gratified her wish. The Marquis and Marchioness met at Monte Carlo three months after the decree was signed. She greeted him ef. fusively, they dined together and sub- sequently traveled together. Then the Marchioness set all gossip’s tongues awagging by petitioning the courts to rescind the decree of annul. ment. The gossips whispered that there might be an heir to the Angelsey Mar. quis after all, but they were wrong, In June, 1901, Lord Justice Jeune rescinded the decree of annulment and the Angel- seys were man and wife again.

ITS THEME IS EROTIC a Sapphic Character of ithe Beautiful Queen Key to Novel’s Success.

Because the Pilgrim Mothers of America snubbed her at their recent ban- quet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, not liking the mora! tone of “Three Weeks,” her very ex- traordimary novel, Mrs. Elinor Glyn of London, branded the Mothers as “tabby cats.” Well, that’s as it may +>, of course, but, whatever Mrs. Glyn herself is, she - emphatically is not a ‘‘tabby cat” when it comes to writing erotic fiction. Far from it, indeed. She is, instead, _ the royal Bengal tigress af “Love's )’ young dream” as that dream is dreamed wittiout benefit of clergy, so to speak. ‘Faith, she’s more than this—Mrs. Glyn comes mighty near being the Roaring Gyasticutus of lawless passion.

——p tive Listener While “the Little Brown-Eyed Woman” Watches Him Lovingly From the Gallery.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. ERHAPS the most interesting per- Pp sonality in the present Senate is Thomas P. Gore, the biind Senator from Oklahoma. Doubled up tn his sQuare-armed chair, the figure is that of a fat, pudgy boy with a round bu'let head, of which the drawn, contracted brows, the long straight, prominent nose and the thick lips are the most conspicious feature. » When, with a thick hickory cane firm- ly gripped in the right hand thrust for- ward, the figure straightens up, it is stalwart, thick-chested, long-hipped and very erect. Always at Attention. The head is always lifted and thrust forward. The blind Senator has a way while sitting of holding his face on a line with the action for the moment commanding attention—for instance, that of a Senator speaking or the clerk jreading. With his cane in his right hand, his left drums on the desk at which he sits. He has a way ef snap- | ping the thumb and fingers of his left hand: During his first few days in the Senate alert page boys mistook this for a summons. The boyish-looking Oklahoma Senator —he is in the early forties—has one chaPweteristio unusual in blind persens. Always at His Post and an Atten-, He addresses with accurate modulation of voice the person to whom he is speaking. Most blind men and women experience great difficulty in “getting the range” of the person they are ad- dressing, and frequently speak either to the right or left of him. Thus far the blind Senator has not sought to participate in the proceedings of the Senate. In the language of one of his colleagues, “‘he-is soaking in the atmosphere.” When ready he ts expected to con- tribute one of the spectacular speeches of the session, because he is a strong, virile speaker, a fine elocutionist of the rough-and-ready sort, quick at repartee and with an amazing command of words. - Wife Always in Gallery. Mr. Gore has been in his seat the full length of every session since he took office, sparing few minutes in the cloak rooms, to which Senators flee to es- cape being bored by § long-winded speeches. And every minute he is in his seat “the little brown-eyed woman,’’ Mrs. Thomas FP. Gore, sits in the gallery watching every gesture of the man to whose election she contributed more than any one else. The Senator himself calls her “his eyes and right hand,”’ and says she knows more about parlia- mentary law and politics than any other woman in the country. She accompa- nies him to the Senate and takes him away at the close of the day. She takes down the speeches he dictates, at- tends to his mail and supplies every function that his sightless eyes cannot perform. Senator and Mrs. Gore are spending the holidays at their home in Oklahoma.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.—Stuyvesant Fish holds many more proxies today than he held at the Ifinois Centra} October meeting, and judging from the receipts of new proxies and re- vocations he should have a clear ma- jority over all on March 2. This was a statement given out by anewer to a recent’ § interview of President J. T.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 2—Would you like to be married in an iron-barred cell to the girl you loved and one minute after the ceremony was performed whirled away, manacled, to spend the rest of your life within the walls of a penitentiary, leaving your young wife with the prospect of sceing her cnly now and then? That is what “Doc” Pumphrey of Omaha will do before the end of the year. Pumphrey is under sentence of life imprisonment on a charge of mur- der, and Miss Anna Parr, his sweet- heart, has agreed to marry him before he begins his prison sentence. “He is innocent,’”’ says Miss Parr, “and I know a good God will never per- mit an innocent man to remain in a derk cell all his Hfe. Trusting tn the justice of the Lord, I will wait for ‘Doc,’ but I want the world.to know that I have confidence in his innocence and I intend 1q marry him before he starts for the Penitentiary a: Linc.in.”’ It was through Miss Parr that Pum- phrey was captured and brought te court to answer the charge of murder. They Worked Together. Pumphrey is handsome, and about 20 years old, while Miss Parr is a year younger. Both worked at a local hotel. Three months ago Ham Pak, proprietor of a restaurant on Douglas street, was found one morning with his skull crushed. Near him in the room, which evidenced a struggle, lay a bludgeon. Detectives went to work and soon sus- pected three young men, Pumphrey, AVieman and Mullen. When the trio found they were wanted they disap- peared. Three days later Alleman was picked up in Iowa as he was traveling toward Chicago. He blamed the other two for the crime. Then Mullen was found in St. Louis and was brought to Omaha. He ac- cused Pumphrey and said that Pum- phrey had been in St. Louis ‘only the day before his own arrest. At this time Anna Parr, the sweet- heart, told the police that she had re- ceived a picture postal card from Pum- phrey, dated Hot Springs, Ark., and that he could be found in that city. The telegraph was put to work and in a few hours Pumphrey was under arrest and on his way to Omaha, But Miss Parr relented, and before “Doc” had been in Jail 24 hours, the young woman visited him and begged his forgiveness for being the means of his capture. Girl Whitness for Him. Miss Parr ws: one of the principal witnesses for the defense at the trial, and if her testimony hau not been over- balanced by that of circumstances, Pumphrey probably would have gone free. Miss Parr testified that on the night of the murder, when Pumphrey was supposed to be trying to purchase chloroform with which to stupefy the old Chinese, Pak, he was really calling en her, and that he remained at her home until a late hour, long after tHe druggists and others swore that he tried to buy the drug. “We are going to be married just as soon as this jury turns me loose,” Pumphrey told his lawyer and his friends. And anna agreed with him perfectly. But the next morning the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and sentenced him to imprisonment for life in the penitentiary. Then it was that Miss Parr Went to him, placed her arms around him and said: ‘Never mind, Doc, we will get a new trial and you will be released. And we won't let this awful sentence interfere with our marriage, anyway. Just as soon as we can make arrangements we will have the ceremony performed,” Col. John O. Yetser is Pumphrey’s attorney. Col. Yeiser sees just one chance for having the verdict reversed, but he thinks that chance is a mighty good one. He has attacked the law under which Pumphrey was convicted and if his claims hold good, every con- vict who has been sentenced under that section of the criminal code for thirty years will be set free. Lawyer Attacks Statute. “There is no oubt in my mind that that law wes never properly passed,” _ Yeiser. “Sut, c. course, it is mp Sn a for the Supreme Court to pass upon.

AL aa TREAL HOMES — NEEDED. MOST BY WAFS HERE Woman Probation Officer Tells Why Much of Reform Work Fails.

The home, not an institution, should dispose of cases brought before the juvenile probation officers, says Miss Bertha Phillips. This change she de- clares to be the most needed in the per- fection of the St. Louis probationary system. ; Miss Phillips and Mrs. Emilia Runge, 8739 windsor place, have been appoint- ed assistants to Head Probationary Of- ficer Baldwin. She has been for over a year a probationary officer of the Children’s Aid Society of Boston, Mass., and during that time has made a study of the problem of caring for the un- fortunate little waifs of the city. Mrs. Runge is the widow of Dr. E. C. Runge, who was Superintendent of the City In- gane Asylum. The second step recommended by Mt8s Phillips, after real homes are obtained for those children who have been put upon parole in the Juvenile Court, is the extension of the scope of the work be- yond those who are incorrigible to those who merely are victims of circum- stances—the children of thé slums. Home Influence of Value. “There is no reason why the work of the probationary system should be con- fined to offenders alone,’ said Miss Phillips. “The influence of a good home is of incalculable value to one of those little waifs. In Boston, I recently placed six children from one family in excel- lent homes, and within a week the im- provement in them was remarkable. “I find it is difficult here to find a home for a girl who has been arraigned in the Juvenile Court. That is the prob- lem—to fill in the breach with homes that are homes, and .o get the children out of institutions. “Excellent work already has been done by the probationary officers and the Juvenile Court here, but I hope for even greater things, when more of the people here will throw open their homes to these children. “Oh, no, I do not object to going into the slums and never am afraid,’ laughed Miss Phillips, in response to a question. Makes Friends With Waifs. ‘Il always make friends with the small boys of the neighborhood, and they form an effectual bodyguard for me. The work has a great fascination for me, and I would not give it up for a great deal.” Miss Phillips, who is young and pret- ty, lives with her mother at 5617 Clem- ens avenue. CALLS HIS DAUGHTER TO GET DOCTOR AFTER DRINKING ACID 3 nt Edward Scheffer Ends Eight Years’ of Suffering From Consumption. After suffering from consumption. for eight years, and being unemployed for three months, Edward Scheffer, aged 54, drank carbolic acid in the basement of his home, 3913 South Grand avenue, yesterday afternoon. He died at the Lutheran Hospital at 6:30 p. m. without regaining consciousness. Scheffer had been foreman of the Barr Dry Goods Co. stables until he grew too ill to work. He was alone in the basement when he drank the acid, but called to his wife, who. sent their eldest daughter, Freda, for Dr. Adolph Meyer, Grand avenue and Osage street, who had Scheffer taken to the hospital. Scheffer is survived by a widow and six chil- dren, five of whom are daughters. WOMEN’S DEPOSITIONS READ IN TRIAL OF PETTIBONE Three Witnesses Tell of Explosion at Bradley Home in San Francisco. BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 2.—The reading of depositions on the Bradley explo- sion at San Francisco occupied the en- tire forenoon session of the Pettibone trial today. The depositions of J. B. Riley, Mrs. Charles Pickard, Mrs. Lucy Cummings-and Mrs. Josephine Lind- froth were read to the jury. All three witnesses resided near the home of Bradley, and testified that the explosion was so loud that it could have been heard all over San Francisco. Mrs. Pickard was employed in the Bradley home and testified that she had detected the odor of gas in the hallway and had reported it the day before the explesion. MARRIAGE LICENSES. A.

WATER WAGON I ALTON TO ENT LIMBO AT LAST - Two Sole Survivors of Club Will Disband It Today.

The heroic residuum of the Upper Al- ton Water Wagon Club—Johnson A. Bailey and Frank K. Love—will hold a meeting today, divide the $4.60 in the treasury and vote the club out of exist- ence—but only the club and not the wa- ter wagon, They are so delighted with the Water wagon that they will remain passengers on it, though the club passes into the dim realm of the Has-been. The Upper Alton Water Wagon Club was organized a year ago in March. It had 27 members—the kind who want- ed what they wanted when they wanted it. The 27 banded themselves together to ride high and dry on the water wag- on, and to look not upon the wine when it was red or any other color. They were to meet every Sunday aft- ernoon and pay ll cents a week dues. If any members dallied with the flow- ing bowl to the point of unsteadiness be was to be arrested by his fellow club members,. tried by one of the num- ber and, if found guilty, summarily ejected from the organization. Isaac Randall First te Fall. Isaac Randall was defendant in the first of these trials. The testimony was that he rode bravely and professed to like the riding for three weeks. The he deliberately climbed down. Martin Anthis was next, then Georze Kauffman, then Charles Vogeipohil, and So on, until at the expiration of the first year there were only three mem- bers left—the two who now constitute the club and Harry Streeper. But Stree- per subsequently met a Waterloo in which there was but little water. George Vogelpohl gave a FPost-Vis- patch reporter a graphic account of how ne lost membership in the club. “At first I liked the water wagon,”’ said he, ‘“‘the riding was comfortable, the company excellent and the scenery superb. I felt as fine as a fiddie. But as time went by long-continued sitting on the same seat began to make me stiff and uncomfortable. “I noticed, too, that whenever the wagon passed a saloon it seemed to jolt and sway. Sometimes I had to grab the seat and hold tight. At last came the catastrophe. We were approaching a saloon one day. Frank Lowe was driving. He cracked the whip and started ahead at a smart canter. “I didn't observe the saloon and was knocked clear off the wagon when we struck a bi fe § right in frent of the saloon door. got up and shook the dust off my clothes, but the wagon was almost out of sight.” Twe Veterans Survive. Johnson A. Dailey and Frank K. Lowe, the only two surviving members, feel like veterans. “It wasn’t like riding in @ smooth- going limousine to begin with,’’ they ay. * etimes it was pretty rough. But we held on tight and after a while we began to like the wagon for ita own sake. “In the beginning it had plain steel tires on the wheels and the seats were small and uncomfortable. But after a while they put on rubber tires, j bearings and large, commodious, cush- joned seats which were deuvghtful. We stopped frequently on the wayside for a cup of clear spring water or a glass of Fairbanks buttermilk.” ROUGH RIDER IN PEONAGE CASE Mcithenny, Close Friend of Roose- velt, Is Accused..

TWO LIVE TEDDY. BEARS. CAUSE A PANIC IN STORE sa. bd Frank and Mazie Show the May Co the Strenu- ous. Life.

Two live teddy bears broke out of their cage in the May store window last night shortly before closing time and sent shoppers and salespeople scurrying in every direction, One of the bears hotly pursued H. H. Peabody, super- viser of elevators, while the other dash- ed across the main floor of the store, ascended the stairway, ran into an elevator and frightened the conductor out of his wits. The two pretty little bears—a gift to L. D. Schoenberg, one of the proprietors of the store—have been exhibited in the Sixth street window for several weeks. Mr. Peabody opened the door of the cage to remove them. The bears were in an angry humor, and growled at him savagely when he Started to step inside. Mr. Peabody, thinking that he could lasso the bears and remove them from the cage, deftly threw a rope around Frank’s neck. This was so dis- pleasing to Frank that he made a lunge for the door, and almost nipped Mr. Peabody's coattails as he leaped out of tne cage. The bear chased Mr. Peabody out of the store into the street. He ran around a post, and with the ald of Head Porter Boswick it was captured and loaded into a wagon. Mazie, the other bear, ascended a stairway to the second floor. Just as she arrived in front of the elevators Charles Clayton, one of the operators, opened the door and she jumped in. The badly frightened man took the bear to the basement, and fastened her in. She was then tied and taken to the wagon, and with her companion, carted away to one of the big storage houses.

RARE RUGS INCLUDED

Paintings, Books and Sevres Ware om Display in St: Louis. One of the places of rare interest in St. Louis is the studio of Emile Diet- rich, 3601 Frankn avenue. Mr. Diet- rich is a collector of art treasures. His life has been devoted to this work and his labor has been richly rewarded, thanks to his love for and knowledge of art. Into all: quarters of the world he has wandered in search of treasures and in most cases he has found some- thing in the way of paintings, textiles, - geulpture or literature that has more than repaid the journey. “T can't remember when I began col- lecting art treasures,” said Mr. Diet- --pich to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘‘I think the love of the occupation was born in me.. When I was a boy, away back in Alsaé®, I found my chief pleas- ure in delving through musty attics and such places in quest of the things that might have escaped the destroy- ing hand of time. As I grew older I decided to make a business of the work of collecting and I never have regret- ted the choice.”’ Came Here for World’s Fair. St. Louis just Mr. Dietrich came to before the World’s Fair. He had charge of exhibits at the Fair, and by the time it was over he had become 80 attached to the city that he decided to make it his home. Since that time he has made several trips abroad and erch time brought back some new treasures for his collection. His studio is erowded, litefally, with things all of which wear the unmis- takable brand of the worth-while. Paintings by old masters vie for riech- ness of coloring with rugs of Persia’s finest weaving; first editions of rare publications rival costly bronzes for at- iention; Sevres china worth a king’s ransom sits sedately beside ivory gods or the Mongols. There are cameos and intaglios eenturies old; paintings that were new in the days of the famed monasteries: etchings from the hands of men who have won world fame. Painting of Christ Notable. A picture that shines out even in the brilliant company of the studio is a ‘painting of Christ by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, who was born in 1479. It is done on wood and its wonder is its marvelous color. The painting is valued at several! thousand dollars. Another choice bit is a self-portrait of Angelica Kauf- mann, a celebrated poetess and paint- of the eighteenth century. Gerhard Metsu, a sixteenth century master, is represented by a typical painting, “A Game of Backgammon.” A painting by Jvan Both, a renowned Dutch painter ‘of the seventeenth century, the original sketch of which is now in Castle Hern- seim, Germany, is another feature of the collection. Wolf's Work Is Shown. - American painters are well represent- ‘el.

SELLER LEAVES FIELD

Entire Washington Avenue Stock Will Be Disposed of to Public. ee ee ee May Co., one of the city’s great- est clothing houses, will retire from business in St. Louis and surrender its building at the northeast corner of Sixth street and Washington avenue, to the Famous store, now at Broadway and Morgan street, on about Feb. 15, 1908. The announcement of this transaction was made last night by President M. Shoenberg of The May Co. and M. Koe- nigsberg, advertising manager of the Famous. Under an agreement made a few days ago, the Famous acquires the lease, good will and fixtures of The May Co. The consideration is not named, but the offer is sald by President Shoenberg to have been too advantageous to decline. The May Co. retains its merchandise, which it must sell in the next seven weeks in order to afford possession to its successor. The Famous has deter- mined to remove nong of its present stock of goods to its new home, and will inaugurate Monday a removal sale of its million dollar stock. President Shoenberg’s Statement. President Shoenberg issued last night the following atatement: “The May Co. reached the decision to retire from business in St. Louis orly about ten days ago, following a very advantageous offer made to us by the Famous for our leasehold, fixtures and good will. According to the terms of the transaction, we are to vacate our build- ing Feb. 15 next. ‘This transaction does not include the merchandise we have.on hand and which, since we are to retire perma- nently, must be sold within the rmext seven weeks. We had already placed our orders for spring merchandise and it had arrived in large quantities. We are going to dispose of the stock in a mammoth .sale, beginning Monday. “I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the St. Louis public for the generous support they have accorded this store, enabling us to build up one of the strongest clienteles enjoyai by any retail store in the city of St. Louis.”’ More Room for the Famous. In its new home, the Famous store will have three times as much floor space as in its present location, where the quarters have been found too ciamped to accommodate the throngs of patrons. The May building has a front- age of 165 feet on Washington avenue and a depth of 226 feet along Sixth street to Lucas avenue. The purchasers also consider the location at Sixth and Washington more convenient to shop- pers than their present situation on Broadway. “The Famous has long realized,” said Mr. Koenigsberg, ‘‘that the cramped conditions under which lack of room compelled us to operate, was net conducive to our own best interests, for we learned many years ago that com- fort and convenience for customers, coupled with careful and conscientious regard for their wants and needs, was what would make for greater success for us. We were powerless, however, until the present opportunity to get pos- session of the immense building.to be vacated for us by the May store. As soon as the matter was broached we saw the opportunity of a lifetime laid before us and we closed the deal almost without a question, the management of the Famous feeling that they owed it to the great army of people who have helped them to grow great in the com- merce of St. Louls, to provide them with every convenience possible. Their comfort, they felt, would be the Fa- mous’ gain. Will Retain “Famous” as Name. “As soon as we are domiciled in our new quarters, and that will be about Feb, 15, the new home wij! the ‘Famous’ from. the big entrances on three streets to the shipping and packitig-reoms and from the department managers to the youngest and least important employe. “We are going to conduct an up-to- date department store along progressive lines—a store that will be a credit to St. Louis and a satisfaction to those who have been and will continue to be our customers, and that means a vast majority of the ge of this city. We now come to them instead of asking Tme

them to come to us. At the corner of Sixth street and Washington avenue now the May store, we will have one of the most centrally located stores in the shopping district, and instead of putting our patrons to the trouble of a walk to Morgan street, we will be lo- cated just where most of the street cars of St. Louis pass. We feel that we have the right to be a bit elated at the importance to our trade as much as to ourselves of this move on the part of Famous. To Increase Sales Force. “Every one of the present employes of Famous will go to the new store and a large number of others will of necessity be engaged to take care of the increase in the size of the depart- ments and of the business in general. “As showing the substantial basis on which Famous has been built, there is now in the big store more than a mil- lion dollars’ worth of goods bought by expert buyers. In spite of the reduced volume of sales found elsewhere, the Famous during 1907 handled a larger volume of business than during any previous year in the history of the busi- ness. ‘Thirty-seven years ago Famous was established in a-smal!l one-story build- ing with a frontage of but 16 feet. To- day Famous’ men’s clothing department probably does far the largest business of any other clothing department in this city. Its boys’ clothing department is the largest in this city. Its women’s “ge acegnam are second to none in St. uis. : “During the last two or three- years this enormous business has been han- died under the most trying conditions, for there was not sufficient room in the big store at Broadway and Morgan te accomplish the comfort of patrons.”’ BUSINESS NOTICES.

UAKES CANDY CO LEASES NEW HOME In February It Will Join Retail Movement West- ward.

A comparatively quiet market charac- terized the week in realty. It represent- ed a few miscelluneous transactions, only two of which were of more than passing interest. The tone of the mar- ket was strong, however, and with the close of the holidays a full resumption of activities is promised. The principal transaction was the leas- ing by the Oakes Candy Co. of the tive- story building owned by the Hart estate at 512 Locust street for a term of five years at an annual rental of $10,000. F. C. Breith of Holbrook-Blackwelder han- dled this deal. Oakes’ candy palace ts located on the west side of Broadway, immediately north of Olive street. It is one of the best known and longest established Broadway concerns in the city, and is the fourth Broadway concern this year to join the westward retail movement led by Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney. The other concerns include Mills & Averill, merchant tailors and clothiers, a pioneer Broadway concern, who will take possession of the new fireproof eight-story building at the northwest corner of Tenth and Olive streets in March, and the Sonnenfeld Millinery Co., who have obtained quarters at 610- 612 Washington avenue, to which point they will soon remove, and the retail store of the Simmons Hardware (o., which has been absorbed by the Scruggs company. Walter Averill said yesterday that a bonus of $30,000 has already been declined by his firm for their 20-year lease of the Tenth and Olive street cor- ner. The Oakes Candy Co. will remove to its new home in February. The build- ing is now being remodeled and altered to meet the requirements of this large retail candy manufactory. The second floor will be é@ccupled as a cafe and lunchroom and the upper stories for the factory. The location is considered one of the most advantageous for a retail] candy business in the city, the large building providing for steadily increas- ing business.

While President O'Reilly of the board was busy with figures und exhibits to prove that the bridge could not be built, Street Commissioner Travilla was occu- pied with plans and plats illustrating ways of overcoming the difficulties pre- sented by the streets and alleys within his jurisdiction.

None has more thorough knowledge of every detail of his work. That is largely due to his long appren- ticeship in performing not only his own part of the department's work, but also a large share that should have been done by his superiors in years gone by. Not a Politician. For Mr. Travilla is not a politician. It is doubtful if he could tell the boun- daries of his own ward. He got his first appointment and held his several posi- tions by reason of service. The politi- clans got the good jobs: Travilla did their work. He-became invaluable even to the politicians. So, in his own appointments Mr. Travia cares littl: for ‘politics. Po- litical backing—and a show of ability— may get a man a place in the Street Department, but only fitness. can keep him on the payroll. Mr. Travilla come to St. Louis from Philadelphia. He was graduated from the engineering department of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in 1886. Before he left school he had received an ap- pointment in the engineering corps of the Missouri Pacific. He was first rod- man, then levelman, then in charge of construction on the Oak Hill branch of the Tren Mountain, from Tower Grove to Carondelet. He was next pro- moted to engineer of maintenance of way for the pita! Mountain road in Ar- kansas. 7 | Ague drove. Mn. Travilla. into the city’s service and into‘his present prom- inence.

He beard Tra- vila was in’ town, and sent for him.

ese. | Travilla ha ne political sponsors, but idheintd the place. That was in 1890. years later Travilla was trans- d to the office of the President of Travilla is married and lives at 1941 McCausland avenue, in Ben- ton. He has three children—two girls, awed 14 and 12 years, and a boy, aged 8. The boy is already a draftsman of considerable skill. Physically, Mr. Travilla is one of the biggest men in the City Hall. He is considerably more than 6 feet tall, and weighs well above 200 pounds. But his manner belofigs to a much smaller man. It is courteous, concil- latory, even apologetic. If he ever gets angry, he doesn’t betray the emotion in any boisterous or brusque speech. He never swears, with all the seeming provocation he has to do so. For ward committeemen, members of the Municipal Assembly and re- calcitrant taxpayers whose streets are to be improved are a constant bane to him. These descend on him like lions. Ten minutes, perhaps half an hour later, they leave his office like lambs. Some depart like sheep. Gives a Soft Answer. Whether it is because he declines to quarrel or bluster, or whether it is because the “kickers” become ashamed of the contnast between the high pitch of their voices and the low tone of the Commissioner's, no one knows. It is Travilla’s secret. And One, by the way, that some other of- ficlals would like to penetrate. The presumptive evidence is that Mr. Travilla. is a Democrat and al- ways has been. Democratic Commit- teemen and members of the House of Delegates don’t believe Mr. Travilla is a Democrat. In proof of this conten- tion, they point to his refusal to em- ploy or retain some of their workers. He won't hire a man because he is labeled “Democrat,” and won't dis- charge one who is branded “Republic- an.” He insists on good conduct and good work. That condition fulfilled, he is willing to consider politics. THREE DELEGATIONS APPEAR AT SAME TIME JUDGE RESIGNS Mr,

The cash demand was slow, but very little —_ was offered in the sample market, prices ruled quite strong. The neue ment of spring wheat was also heavy, and there were few changes in North- western conditions, the cash demand there still being fair and stocks on the increase. The export demand continues very slow, foreigners also being in the throes of holiday dullness, and some sales of Northern wheat from Minneapolis, and occasional workings of durum wheats from New York constituted practically all of the foreign business.

A reaction from the low levels oc- curred early, but after our holiday had passed the dullness was aggravated by the closed markets abroad, and upward price movement was gradual, T ex-

With Conditions Now Settled, Building Will Again Be Pushed.

$100,000,000 THE GOAL \sOperations Next Year Are Expected to Reach Rec- ord Mark. cna SUBDIVISION ACTIVITY Improvements Will Extend From Business Center to. Suburbs. BY BERRY MOORE. ‘The volime of realty transactions © 1007 has not reached the proportions of that of 1906, but in view of the adverse conditions it is extremely gratifying. in aggregate amount the transfers for i40g exceed those of the current year more than $9,000,000, and the permits more than $7,000,000. The dis- parity is marked, but building it was foreshad- ewed and has been discounted. A comparison of the two years shows that the business of the latter year has been subject to a combination of cir- cumstances, with a dearth of funds for operation. Many large transactions in the busi- ness center swelled the volume of busi- ness in 1906, while those of 1907 have ‘Deen confined principally to the resi- no material effect on realty values. Forthcoming Improvements. The number of plots in the business eenter waiting for improvement include a dozen of the most valuable and im- posing corners. Tentative plans for the majority of them have been made, and, with the money forthcoming to finance them, the improvements will not be long delayed. They are the southwest and northeast corners of Twelfth and Olive streets, the southwest corner of Twelfth and Locust streets, the northeast corner of Ninth and Chestnut streets, the south- east and northwest corners of Sixth and Market streets, the northwest corner of Broadway and Olive streets, the south- west corner of Broadway and Market streets, the southwest corner of Broad- way and St. Charles streets, the south- east corner of Eighth and St. Charles streets, the southwest corner of Tenth and Olive streets, the northeast corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets and the northeast corner of Eighteenth and Lo- cust streets, A large commercial building and a theater will probably be erected at Twelfth and Olive streets, a ten-story power building at Ninth and Chestnut streets, elght-story commercial build- ing at Sixth and Market _ streets, an office building at Seventh and -Chestnut streets, a theater at Twelfth and Locust streets, a 10-story commercial building at Tenth and Olive streets, a department store at Broadway and St. Charles. street. a theater at Broadway and Market street, a 19-story office building at Broadway and Olive street, a hotel or commercial building at Eighth and St. Charles streets, and a commercf{al building at Highteenth and Locust streets,

The aggregate constructional cost f these corner improvements alone, .3 estimated at between $10,000,000 and $16,000,000, which, including the land, will represent a total invest- ment of nearly $20,000,000. Another possibility is the consoli- dation of the several holdings in the block bounded by Washington avenue, KRighth, Ninth and St. Charles streets, and the enlargement of the former Ely-Walker Building, occupying the east half of the block, for department store purposes. The plan is a fascl- nating idea, and its execution will be a new grand leader for retail Washington avenue. Announcement has also been made that a new lj-story Barr block will be erected on the present site in the early future.

Bright Outlook for 1908, Saaaiey experts say that with the ad- vent of a new yeir will come a new An ocean of capital, they will fleod the reality market, t M ) highest water mark will be ied. “Indeed, the under-current is a “tte. and with the return to a di increasing with the mflux of Eastern enterprises, is attracting the atten- tion of capitalists, and many buildings of this character may be erected in the coming 12 months. With the construc- tion of the Chouteau avenue free bridge, it is believed that the territory lying between Gratiot street, Chouteau ave- nue, the river and Wighteenth street, will be claimed for warehouses and fac- tories, and the activity incident te this is expected to be a notable feature of the year’s market. The late Jay Gould, with plans for a shipping Utopia, which provided for the elevating of the streets and a system of independent terminals, with the sec- tion walled in on both sides, once sub- mitted a preposition to the railroads for the formation of a syndicate for the acquisition of this territory, which was to be giveri over to the warehouses and manufactories of the city. Mr. Gould’s schemé is again being agitated and may ultimately be realized, the Ter- minal Railway Association already con- trolling much land in this territory both by fee and perpetual leasehold. It is generally conceded that the free bridge was the best gift that could have been forthcoming for the South Side. $100,000,000 in 1908. - Swelled by the large outlays that will be invested in improvements in the busi- hess centers, it is estimated that build- ing operations in 1908 will involve a round $100,000,000. The increased traffic incident to the entrance of the McKinley interurban system, with its main entrance at ‘Twelfth and Gay streets, is expected to have a tenic elect in the business dis- trict between Franklin and Washing- ton avenue, and in anticipation of an uplift in its realty values, Many pur- chases have already veen completed in this area. Market street also promises to be a center of operations. As the direct artery between Union Station and the business district, it must sooner or later take rank with the leading business thoroughfares of the city.

* Loans. Interest rates for 1907 on real estate loans were quoted from 4 per cent to 6 per cent with a great number of loans made at 5 per cent, in fact, 5 per cent was considered a fair rate to command for loans, the security being real es- tate, and would no doubt have been lowered by the lenders, except that the present flurry arose, when more interest was demanded and was readily paid. We believe this condition will not last long and with confidence again restored 5 per cent will be considered.a reason- able rate to be paid, and there will be plenty of money at 5 per cent seeking good real estate loans, with a corre- sponding lower rate on business prop- erties for large amounts. A review of the Clearing House re- ports for the past decade indicates the stability and progress of the financial conditions in St. Louis. Each year be- ginninge with 1897 has shown a_ healthy year in the bank clearings, which is the best barometer of conditions, as it indi- cates the volume of business being trans- acted, and as commercial activity in- creases the bank clearings increase In the same proportion; in fact, commercial activity during the past year has in- creased to such an enormous extent that the increase of currency has been far from sufficient to keep pace with busi- ness. A comparison of the deeds of trust fer 1906 and 1997 is as follows: DEBDS OF TRUST FOR 1906.

Another way in which to judge the progress and development of a city, is by the increase from year to year in her taxable wealth, and St. Louis in this respect has shown a marked de- gree of development and increase in the past decade.. In 1867 the, real estate and personal property was assessed at $112,907,660, and in 1907 the assessments were $510,271,603, an increase of $487, - 363.943 in ten years. The assessments are generally con- sidered to be about sixty per cent of the real value of the property assessed. Following is a table of assessments eovering a period of thirty years: 1, 345, 560 1900..... $380, 779, 2R0 ‘, - BS 374, 588, 490 510,271, 608 The assessments are divided and as- sessed on three classes of property, the assessments for 1907 being as follows: Real estate State Board, Personal property $387, 480,170 35,5388, 273 87, 258, 160 Total on valuation of $100 According to the above figures there will be fi into the City Treasury the sum of $11,087,000, to be appropriated to- wards the maintenance of the State Government, public scnools and City Government, as follows: Sta te . alta hee 967,140 Public schools Kanes emnsveenwines 2,805 805, 0 City 7,395,900 After a careful perusal of the above mentioned facts and noting the yearly increase and development in the real estate field in St. Louls one may fee] safe to conclude that there Is no better or safer investment than In St. Louis real estate.

strip in the rear, facing the alley, was another large deal in the retail center. This transaction was made for the ac- count of the Kennett Bstate. One of the railroad properties sold was the northeast corner of Broadway and O’Fallon street to a subsidiary cor- poration of the Rock Island Frisco Sys- tem. The remainder of the half block was acquired by the railroad through this company in the latter part of 1906, A mommoth depot and warehouse is to be erected on the site. Several substantial downtown proper- ties were also sold by this company dur- ing the year, cone of them being the fee to the southwest corner of Ninth and St. Charles streets te the late Judge Valle Reyburn. Prior to the sale a %9- year lease was negotiated to C. W. Wall covering the corner which insures the erection of a modern mercantile build- ing. Another Ninth street corner sold was the southwest corner ef Morgan Street to J. G. Halliday. On the fringe of the downtown dis- trict a number of sales were closed, among them being the southwest cor- ner of Twenty-third and Olive streets, to D, E. Garrison; 1404 Pine street, to J. J. McNary: 1162 North Third street, to Stedelin Bros. : 817 North Ninth street, S16 Market street, 1819 Market street, 929 North Seventh street, 620 Morgan Street, 715-7154 Morgan street and the northeast corner of Eleventh and Clark avenue, the latter being sold twice in the year. Many other deals in the Same class were made at substantial considerations, but they have been re- ported in these columns from time to time as they occurred. Transactions involving high-class West End apartments included 5186-5188 Fairmount avenue, 5016-5018 Maple ave- nue, 5883-5885 Von Versen avenue, 4159- 4154-4156 Westminster place and 5040- 0042 Maple avenue. The southwest corner of Leonard ave- nue and Morgan avenue, premises 3110- 6112-3114-3116 Lucas avenue, 2913 Locust Street, 3426-8428-3480-3432-3434 Laclede ave- nue, 4009-4011 Olive street and 4318 Olive street comprise some of the central West End properties which were sold by this company to investors. One of the features of last year’s business was the great number of acreage tracts sold, the following comprising the most notable deals of this character A fraction less than 165 acres on ‘the south side of the Ladue road, about one-fourth of a mile west of the Price road, and 65 acres at the southwest corner of the Ladue and Price roads, both in 8t. hy a County, to the St. Louis Roman Catholic Theological Seminary, the aggregate consideration being slight- lv less than $100,000. Also sold the Horseshoe Lake farm on the Meramec River, near Fenton, containing 581 acres, to Paul Brown for $50,000; 15 acres in Cheltenham. bounded by Elizabeth, January and Woods ave- nues, for $40,000 to the Laclede- Christy Fire Clay Co., and 19% acres on the St. Charles — road, west of Wellston, being the former O'Neill eles to F. E. McCasland, for $24,- 50. The large factory building, 3807 to 3517 Laclede avenue, occupied by the Universal] Adding Machine Co.. ac- acquired by Bdward Butler for $55,- 000, was one of the large manufactur- ing properties disposed of by this company. Individual lots in Tower Grove Heights, Southampton and other me- dium priced residential sections added their quota to the list of sales and materially assisted in bringing the year’s total up to satisfactory pro- portions. The sales mentioned do not Include any of the properties, both improved and unimproved, with railread facil- ities, nor does it include single flats and semi-business properties, a great many of which were sold. They, how~ ever, serve to show the wide range of the year’s transactions, and clearly manifest the interest taken in real estate by all classes of investors. AGENTS’ REPORTS. oo De BRINKOP.

holding the bag. But I know their little game, T. LOUIS auto drivers have as many narrow escapes, as many arrests, as much trouble from drunken parties, contests with the siizmeshot, ind open fights with deadbeats as any chauffeurs in the world. SM Siemech by 0 family ‘The p:ivate | else but attend to his employ- and is paid a regular monthly wage.

The fourth class are the ome car specialists, those who make extended "~ over several states with parties. St. Louis there are 1500 licensed chauffeurs, with as many more who drive, but without the protection of & license. Of all this number, J. Kuhl, boys Bell avenue, has had more adven- tures toured more miles than any chauffeur in St. J. Kuhl is the kind of man that fictionists like so well.’ He is 28 years old, 6 feet high, weighs “00 pounds, is perfectly muscled and has the dare- devil spirit that seems to be a requisite of a suc- ecssful auto steerer. He is the only St. Louis man gat fought with Dewey in the battle‘at Manila: -dIT "ER UP, BILL, HIT "ER UP.” he was on the flagship Olympia. Lieut. W. R. White of the St. Louis Recruiting Station was his division commander. He has served all over the world in military service, and has the daring brav- ery of a soldier of fortune. His training on land and sea, facing the: enemy, now stands him in good stead as a professional auto driver. Kuhl is connected with the Van Automobile Co. on Walton avenue, where he is,the pride of the establishment. He is final authority on ma- chines, and the court of last resort on matters automobolic. “You might not think it,” said Chauffeur Kuhl, while fixing a safety valve, at the automobile establishment, “but the professional autoist has a pretty tough proposition, and his lot is not all peaches and cream. What we call a ‘livery driver’ is up against it nearly every night.“ One evening he may take a party of drunks out, all of whom are bent on shooting up the town, and the driver, too, and the following night he may take a Sun- day school party out for an airing. “You wouldn't think that right here, in the quiet, lid-loving city of St. Louis, that a chauf- fent had any ‘experiences,’ would you? The worst

* class of.trade that we have to handle is drunken sports. A telephone order comes in for a rig to be sent to a certain place for a party of four. I go. I size them up as they get in. They are all pretty well intoxicated, and it is 10 p. m. ‘I first try to get themes pay in advance. The price of a first-class machine is $5 ah hour. They hum and haw and say that they will pay me when we get back. “We make a tour of the saloons, all the men piling out at every place and imbibing more. They become more and more hilarious, wildly reckless. One leans over and says: ‘Let her go alittle, Bill,’ when we are already hitting up a pretty good lick. “The man who has in reality engaged me says: ‘Hold her down a little, Bill.” The two men get in a diseussion, which waxes into an argument and ends in a fight. The drunker one insists that I speed up, and threatens me if I don’t, and the other tells me that if I turn on more power he will discharge me. “Lots of times I have had a rigful of carousing men, brandishing bottles, {ghtifiry among them- selves, yelling at the top of their voices, one tell- ing me to do one thing and another ordering me not to. “At such times I have to keep the strictest watch on the men behind me to -xeep from being. smashed over the head with a beer bottle for re- fusing to put on more speed. One night I had just taken such a load of men over into Illinois, and was letting the machine lengthen out on a steep hill, going down, I was told to turn it loose, and when I replied that it was too danger- ous, I felt a dull blow on the back of my head.

It was Japan that first called upon all the na- tions of the earth to join in a war against the rat which woulr end in its complete extermiaa- tion. Dr. Nashuda, an eminent bacteriologist of Japan, induced the Mikado’s Government to pro- pose to all nations a league against. him. It had been demonstrated in Japan that the bubonic plague, the most dreaded of all diseases known to man, was propagated by rats and the plague —— a minute worm one-eighth of an inch long, is in the rat. Hogs ate axceedingly fond of rats and kill them with their fore feet and eat them. In this way the flesh of the hog becomes impreg- nated with trichina, which :s not killed by curing and smoking.

Carroll was born in Buffalo, N. Y., the Lu of a family that owned much property. } } Married Andrew Carroll, ‘a building con- fr, early in life. The young couple settled in Misfortune overtook the husband, and ne age of 23 years the wife became a widow, ith a babe in arms and with the wolf almost gk door. Mrs. Carroll was too proud to look he ‘Felatives for assistance. She had been well a a =e young widow procured a place and began giving instructions in the public schools, hiring a neigh- bor to care for her baby during school hours. Then it'occurred to her that she might make use of her needle. In the days of her maiden- hood she had learned to do fancy needle work, making fancy silk mittens and gloves. So she made a handsome pair of silk mittens and em- broidered a pair of gloves in her most fetching style, and walked down to one of the big stores. The buyer was struck with the beauty of the artistic creation and at once bargained with Mrs. Carroll for all she could mak: “No more school for me, baby,” she said, when she returned to her lodgings. Mrs. Carroll chanced to see the big double house at 926 West Polk street, Chicago, and in a window was a “for rent” sign. In those days, 962 West Polk street was a great distance from the heart of Chicago. “I shall have to charge you $25 a month rent for half of that house,” said Mr. Barney, when Mrs. Carroll asked the rental. The price almost took away her breath. It seemed altogether too much, especially in view of the remote location. But Mr. Barney ex- plained that it was a two-story house, with good living rooms in the basement, which made it practically a three-story mansion; that it was built of stone and brick andsfitted with all the most modern conveniences. She moved into it in 1880 as a tenant. She is there now as the owner. While Mrs. Carroll’s boy was growing to man- hood Chicago was fast growing out toward her residence. Before the boy got through school the town had expanded till all the wild. prairie round about the Barney double dwelling was ‘thickly populated. : Eight years ago Mr. Barney became an invalid. He turned over to relatives the management of all his interests except the double heuse at 926 West Polk street. Mrs. Carroll went to the hospital with the rent. Meantime, the other half of the house was occupied by other tenants, who didn’t know what to do about the rent or where there was anyone to pay. So Mrs. Carroll began col- lecting the rent for the other half of the house and taking it to Mr. Barney. Mrs. Carro'’s son has grown to manhood and left Chicago, so that except for the many friends ts whom she endeared herself while winning the name of the “little glove maker of Polk street,”’ she is alone in the world. Mr. Barney, the “model landlord,” left an estate altogether valued at above $200,000. Part of it he willed to relatives and the rest to charity. It »« estimated that the property he gave to Mrs Carroll is worth about $12,000. The will has been probated and Mrs. Carroll is in actual possession of the property. Wedding rings were wurn by both Jews and Romans at dates long prior to the Christian era. The Danish Government appointed Prof. Zusch- lag to look into the cause of trichinosis and he reported that the rat was the primary host of the trichina spiralis and he advised his Government French Scientists Inject a Rodent-Killing Microbe Into One Rat and He Soon Causes the Death “ Thousands of Rats. to join with Japan in its war against the rat. The Government did so. It offered a bounty for each rat killed and appropriated $8000 a year with which to pay the bounties. iue Covernm-nt urged each county ar 4 bor-ugh. ccuncil in the country to appropriate money for rat extermination in their several districts, ,and all of them did so. In the urst 18 weeks of the rat war, in Copen- hagen alone, 103,000 rats were killed and $3680 in bountic3s were paid. Prof. Zuschlag has esti- mated that a rat will destroy one-half cent’s worth of property each day, in food which he PNfers and in material which he gnaws. There- fore the 103,000 rats killed within 18 weeks wculd have destroyed $195,000 worth of property within that 18 weeks if they had been permitted to live. because they eat anything and gnaw through wood and even lead. The Danish Government issued a bulletin giv- ing these figures and urging that the work of rat extermination go on not only as a preventive of disease, but as a matter of economy, too. The Danish Government also issued # manifesto call- ing for other European governments to join in the rat war. “It will. do no good for us to kill off the rats in our country if a fresh supply is to be brought into our ports by every ship that comes from a foreign country,” it said. Germany has already taken up the war. It sent an expert to Denmark to see what good had been done there. This expert reported that in districts where the rats had been killed off the disease of trichnosi# had entirely disappeared. So the German Government ordered that wher- ever a case of trichnosis was reported the rats of that district were to be killed, and that bounties should »e offered to encourage the killing. An International Warfare. *An international society to promote rat killing was then organized in Denmark and Germany, and within a month it had 2000 members. Its object is to call for international! co-operation, for without intelligent concert of action by all nations no lasting good would be accomplished. Thus was begun a grand international movement for the suppression of rats. France was the next courtry to take up he war. In certain. districts of that country the SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—DECEMB young vines in all the vineyards were destroyed by rats and all the grain sowed was eaten up by them as soon as it was planted. The Agricultural Department of France called upon the Pasteur In- stitute to devise a way to quickly exterminate the rats. The professors there went to work and found a bacillus that would multiply so rapidly within a rat’s bédy that it would die within an hour after infection. Profs. Roux and Chamber- land of the institute, and M. de Lapparent, Gen- eral Inspector of the Agricultural Department, went together to the Department of Charente, where the rats were in greatest numbers. Killed 95 Per Cent of the Rats. They took with them large quantities of “bouil- lon” swarming with rat-killing microbes. They chose a space of 2965 acres. They dipped grain and bits of bread in the “bouillon” and scattered it around, and within one day 95 per cent of the rats in that fleld were dead. In one field of two and one-half acres they counted 12,484 rat holes, ahd they estimated that there were 10 times that many rats, In their experiment they used four tons of bread and nine tons of oats. The experi- ment was so successful that the Minister of Agri- culture introduced into the Chamber of Deputies a bill compelling the farmers to co-operate with the Government in using the “bouillon” in the extermination of rats. The bill became a law and the rat war is on in earnest in France. Mr. Morley, Secretary of State in India, in an address last year at Arbroath, declared that rats were the great distributors of the plague which killed so many in India each year, and he urged the people to co-operate with the British Govern- ment in its plan of rat extermination. The same plan is followed there as in Japan. A bounty is paid for each rat killed. The great chanee e e there is the religion of the Hindoos, which pro- hibits the taking of animal life, and the ieee: ot. medan religion, which is one of fatalism and forbids the Moslem to “flee from the wrath come.” The Moslem says that if it that a man die of the plague, what of him fighting agnirst it. “What is be.” But the more in:elligent Hindoos lems are beginning to realize that the sponsible for the plague, and the war canlags the rodert is getting new recruits all the time. The war against rats in Manila, P. Ly progressed so well that they have practically dis- a # appeared there, and the plague with them. When — the plague broke out there in 1902 a thorough campaicn was organized against the rats that infested the city. A bounty of 5 cents apiece was offered for them, and they came in by thousands. — Each rat was tagged with the number of the. dipped in carbolic acid and “post the plague germs were found in it the whfth it came was disinfected and in 1 torn down or burned.

American Thieves, It Is Suspected, Have Removed the Priceless Canvas in the Dead of the Night From Its Frame in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Courtrai, Belgium Great Reward Offered for Return’ of This Painting Before Which Thousands Have Worshiped os Theft of Other Famous Art Treasures . ' MERICAN thieves have stolen Van Dyck’s greatest painting, “The Erection of the Cross,” from the Cathedral of Notre ‘Dame, Courtrai, Belgium. - The ‘priceless canvas was cut from its frame, rolled up and taken away, no one knows where. ,One recent morning the caretakers of the old church saw a great square blank where the masterplece had hung for nearly 300 years. The sacred picture, which had been adored by thou- sands. of devout pilgrims from all parts of the Ww a had been carried away. . The church chapter was hurriedly called togeth- ‘These dignitaries could do nothing but notify ‘the town authorities, who could do nothing but notify the Government of Belgium, and they, in turn, notified the officers of ‘every seaport and every frontier post in the kingdom to watch for anyone who might be carrying d great roll of can- vas. _ Nothing in recent years has so stirred the peo- ple of Belgium as the theft of this great painting, the masterpiece of Van Dyck. Not even the do- ings of the profligate old King, Leopold, has cre- ated’so much excitement. The whole town gath- ered at the church and went solemnly in and looked up at the empty frame. That painting was the pride of Courtrai. It had hung in the cathe- dral since Van Dyck himself had placed it there, in 1631. The people of Courtrai had worshiped “before it when they:were children, as their fathers and grandfather and great-grandfathers had done before them. . A million dollars in gold would not have tempt- ed the fathers of the church to part with the great painting, around which so many sacred memories clustered. And it was a source of revenue to the town. Artists and art lovers came from every part of the earth to look at the painiing, to make sketches of it and to photograph it. It was one of the most priceless art treasures in the world. And now it is gone, stolen in the night by a band of burglars. There is not even a trace of its whereabouts. The only clew is that a day before the disappearance of ‘the painting an American was seen in the church, examining the picture closely. And one of the caretakers caught him at the rear of the cathedral looking up at the windows there, and he spoke to him and asked him what he wanted. The Amer- ican explained in broken Dutch that he was an architect and was admiring the church. That did not excite suspicion then. But the next day this grew into circumstantial evidence, when it became known that the thief or thieves entered FRANCE TO PROTECT ART TREASORES RANCE is now preparing to provide measures to preserve the artistic treasures of the country from thieves, and is also considering the means of preventing the exportation of examples of:French art. _. The new laws are to deal with objects in churches and museums, as well as with all works of historic art to be found not only in national and municipal edifices, but in the possession of private owners. This means that France is going to clamp the “lid” on her art treasures, to protect them not only from the robbers of churches and museums, but from the American millionaires who have been paying fabulous sums for great paintings and other works of art and taking them out of the ccuntry. -

‘by one cf the very windows the American was ex- amining. So it is thought the painting is on its way to America. ’ The Belgian Government has already offered a large reward for the return of the painting, but no response has been made to it. The thieves will not dare to offer it for sale, and no collector woula dare to buy it. Wherever in the world it might be shown it would be recognized by art lovers who have seen it or seen copies of it. There is no one’ today ould paint -a picture’ like it. The wonderful colors and technique - which have been the despair of all artists since Van Dyck’s time could not be duplicated. It will probably be hidden away, as the celebrased Gainsborough painting was, until the excitement has died down, and then an offer may be made to return it for a reward. The Belgians believe that some American mil- licnaire has caused the theft of the sacred pic- ture. Recent arrests of church despoilers in France, and disclosures made by them, have shown that there was a well-organized band there which stole precious relics from old cathedrals and sold them to agents, who disposed of them to American millionaires. Belgian Veneration for Van Dyck. The veneration in which the paintings of Van Dyck are held by the Belgians was shown by their entrusias.n in Angust, 1899, when the third cen- tennial of the birth of Van Dyck was held in Antwerp. The event was celebrated by a serie~ of events and pageants which did justice to the best traditions of Flemish history. At a special session of the Royal. Academy of Fine Arts sepa- rate addresses were read in Flemish, Latin, Ital- ian, German, Dutch and French, all in eulogy ot Van Dyck. There was a grand pageant, in which Antwerp revived the artistic glories of past gen- erations and there was genuine national enthusi- asm. In painting this picture Van Dyck made depar- tures from the work of all artists who had pre- ceded him. They had shrunk from offending re- ligious susceptibilities as to the sanctity of the figure of the Savior, but, in this painting Van Dyck showed the executioners raising the «cross, not only by the cross itself, but by actual rough handling of the Savior’s body, adding a poignant detail to the agony which the Savior is suffering with such Divine resignation. The painting, which is 111-2 by 10 feet in size, is described as follows in a standard work of art: “The cross, upon which Christ is nailed, trav- erses the canvas obliquely and the Savior is look- ing up to heaven with imploring eyes. The strong men are exerting themselves to the utmost, one of them, an old man with gray beard, is bending so far forward that he touches the ground with one knee; the man with his bare back turned toward the spectator, and who is probably the chief ex- ecutioner, is holding up the cross with widely extended arms; a third man, with long hair and Wearing a red shirt, is seen in profile, while at the back, to the right of the canvas, another man is helping to support the cross, pushing roughly against the body of Christ with his coarse, bronzed hand. In the extreme right-hand corner we see a dog and on the ground are the necessary tools. To the left a man holding a spade and two men riding, the one on a white horse, the other almost invisible at the back.” Artist Received Only $250 for It. For this great painting, which is beyond price. now, Van Dyck received only $250 and 12 sugar wafers. And even then the chapter of the Ca- thedral was upon the point of refusing it. The painting was ordered by Roger Braye, and Van Dyck went to the church before he began work and looked at the spot upom which it was to hang, and studied the lights and shades which would fall upon it, and he gave the picture such prop- erties of light and shade as would produce a proper effect when up. Van Dyck went with the picture, to see that it was hung properly. The chapter insulted Van Dyck in the coarsest manner, telling him his picture was a daub and that the Christ had the air of a porter. Van Dyck begged them to withhold judgment until it was hung in place. They turned their backs upon him and left the church. The: workmen Van Dyck had en- gaged to habg the painting, sympathizing with “im and wishing to comfort him, told him that it was a big éanvas and he could cut it up into win- dow blinds; When the picture was in place it was seen to be a masterpiece and people came from *verywhere to see it: The church chapter, learn- ing their mistake, orde'ed another picture from SU NDA, | = we : RRRRAPORRS bh “OER | van rs Ce Es Qe atadeeet> —— SESS SS Date h aes olen ate SM > ~>

He retorted that they could find plenty of daubers who would do it cheaper than he, and that in future he intended to paint only for men, and not at'all for asses. Many great paintings have been stolen in the hope of rich rewards. The most famous burglary of the kind was that of Gainsborough’s “Duch- ess of Pevonshire.” While it was on view in a shop in London, in 1876, Adam Worth, an Amer- ican crook, climbed up the front of the shop and through a window and cut the canvas from the frame. The theft was wrapped in mystery for 25 vears. Then it was recovered through Pat Sheedy of New York. A large reward was' paid for it. It is now owned by Pierpont Morgan, the American millionaire. In Morgan's collection is a Van Dyck for which he paid $300,000. Picture Theft in St. Louis. “The Monarch of the Meadows,” a painting for which Mr. Alicroft of England paid $12,500, was cut from the canvas and stolen in 1881. It was recovered from the thieves who stole it. A picture robbery which created almost as much of a stir throughout the civilized world as this recent theft of a Van Dyck was that of the Muril- lo from the Cathedral of Seville. It was cut from its frame and was taken across the Atlantic to New York, where for some time it remained in hiding. At last the thieves, in need of money, sold it to William S¢haus, who, refusing the re- ward of $10,000 that had been offered [or it, re- {\GAZINE—ST.

In 1905 the Antwerp Museum was robbed of a portrait by Franz Hals, valued at $60,000. This has not been recovered. A few years ago the Cincinnati Institution and the St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts were visited by picture stealers, who. made off with several figure subjects by Meyer von Bremen, whish-were cut from their frames.

In Minneapolis, Boston, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and in the majority of New England cities. the saloons have- been closed upon Sunday for a long time. But the greatest surprise of all comes from Milwaukee, where there is one saloon for each 150 men, women and children, dcors never closed. It was the fortress of the beer interests in America, and the legions of the temperance army stormed its flinty ramparts in vain until recently, when 300 preachers of the city, encouraged by the great spread of the re- form wave throughout the nation, started a cam- paign to close the saloons at 11 o’clock each night. Seeing the inevitable, and bowing to it, the liquor interests went before the City Council with a proposition to close the saloons from midnight until 6 o’clock each morning. The Secialists in the Council beat the measure, but it is sure to be passed afid a fight for Sunday closing will fol- low. - There are now five prohibition states—Katisas, Georgia, Maine, Oklahoma and North Dakota. But one-half of the nation is “dry.” Im Iowa 65 out of 99 counties are dry and the Gevernor has recently ordered the strict enforeement of the raulct law, whicl. forbids a saloon to have chairs, tables, pictures or oynaments, and requires sa- loons to close Sundays and from 10 o'clock night to 5 o'clock in the morning on week days.

He let her go, but once she wes out of sight John Charitis shook his fist at the door whereby he expected the Captain to enter. “You wait!’ said he grimly. “T’ll have you coming In and getting penurious around my Aunt Rhedy. If I don’t have you under her thumb before I go away my name’s not John dear—not by a long shot.” He was on his feet, a straddle before the snapping fire, smoking a cigar, whem the Captain came in at last, red, white and blue with the cold and yet displeased at the unusittal warinth that pervaded the house. ‘What's thie?’ he said festily. ‘Is the house afire? How do, Mr. Charitis” Excuse me a minute’’——~ He made as if to put Johr aside and reduce the are to its former dies but he had reckoned without his guest. Charitis did not move. “Oh, the fire’s all right now,” he said. “I’m an ex- pert fre builder. An Adirondack guide taught me how to make a blaze. Dandy. isn’t it? You should have seen the spot of light I found Aunt Rhoay trving to get along with. You’d think some one had struck a match and thrown it in there. Women can’t build fires, and that’s no mistake.” The Captain was not the kind of man to be put aside so easily. His ugit-lipped mouth cut off the words of his reply, Mke a pair of scissors. I'd have vou know, Mr. Charitis, that a small fire is what I prefer in r y house.” Charitis laughed pleasantly. “Bui. bless you, Captain, you're not Viving all alome here. Aunt Rhody and I aren’t used to little fires, and we Have a cigar? I brought down a whole box of extra fine Havanas for our Christmas.’’ “I don’t smoke,” said the Captain shortly. “That's too bad.”’ said Charitis blandly. ‘‘Well-to-do men are just the ones to smoke, thougn I say {t, who am poor. By the way, how's that investment of Aunt Rhody’s turning out? 1 mean the four-story brick ee peas down om Summer street. Is the building renting well?” The Captain glowered in disvleasure “it’s all right, I semaines. “Oh—you are not managing her affairs?’ “Certainly!” snapped the Captain. “My wife's affairs are my affairs.” “Naturally. So when you say you suppose the place is doing well, vou mean you know it is? Who has taken the second floor?” “Woman's Exchange has got one side, and Albert Todd's real estate office other. Mrs. Jenks lives on the third floor and has her dressmakine estab- lishment there. Odd Fellows rent one room on the top, and that's all.” “Well, but that’s very good,’ said Charitis, contentedly. “Rhody must be getting 26 per cent nearly. -Has she rented her own home?’ “¥es,”” said Gaynor, shortly. The Captain Reluctantly Gives In. “Good again. Why, you've got an heiress, Captain. I congratulate you.” The light of a fixed determination rad not died out of John, dear’s. eyes, however, in spite of armable convérse with his genial host when they sat down to supper. There was the array of the pots and cups and bowls neces- sary for the making of tea at Aunt tthody’s end of the table, a smal! platter of lean meat at the Ceviain's e- anda _ of wonderful hot browvued bis- cuits tu front of Charitis. Charitis was hungry without any atainidice: and he ate heartily of what was put before him—which was little amd soon gone. He saw a redness abou! Aunt Rhody’s eyes and a nervous shame in her face, which led him to be- lieve that not without some miserable memories of her own bounteous boar: hed she led him in to se parsimonious a supper. Charitis talked lightly dur- ing that short space necessary to consume the thin slice of cold meat, a cup of tea and two or three of the feather-flake’ biscuits, which he could see the Captain frowning upon even while he ate them. Then Charitis sat back anil smiled at Aunt Rhody. “Now for waffles and marmalade!” he said in as joyous a tone as he could muster. For he knew full well. alack, that no such epifeast was forthcoming and his young stomach was sad in its deprivation of long-anticipated jovs. A sorry flush crimsoned Aunt Rhody’s cheeks, but the Captain saved her from explaining. “You see your supper before you, young man. I'll have no wasteful extravagance in my house.” “John, dear,” said Aunt Rhody, as if her gentle voice could obliterate the ringing tene of the Captain's inbospitality, “I looked for your particular kind of marmalade, but there wasn’t any. And’— Charitis heard a break in her voice that went to his heart, and he pressed her foot under the table just to let her know that he was but playing a part and hed no actual love of jam. Also he winked at her cheerfully, and in her surprise her voice died away. “Never mind, my dear Aunt Rhody,” said Charitis; “it hurts no one to fast the day before a feast. We will make up for it tomorrow, and 1 swear if you he said. don’t have chestnut and apple stuffing for the turkey I shall \orn openly and unmanfully at the table!” Aunt Rhody’s eyes were fixed miserably upon the Captain at the conclusion of this remark. So also were John, dear’s, but with @ vastly different expres- sion. The Captain pushed back his plate and squared himself at the young man—exactly as the young man had hoped he would. Mr. Charitis,”” said the Captain, “we might just as well understand one another at the outset. My ideas of life are rather different from yours. I do not approve of spending any more money than is absolutely necessary’’—he made 16 syllables of the two words—‘“upon food or for fuel or dress or any other luxuries. Other people may do as they please—that is no business of mine. But I can direct my own way of living and can advise my own wife. And you will find neither turkey nor stuffing nor any other unusual folderol «i my table tomorrow. I can find no connection between Christmas or New Year's and turkey—nor any reason why a Christian cannot eat boiled potatoes and corned beef on those days as well as off any other.’ He sat back majes- tically, relieved to have unmistakably outlined his point of view as the direct. ing influence of the household. “And are you going to eat corned beef and boiled potatoes tomorrow fcr New Year's dinner?” inquired John, dear, amazedly. “I am, sir,” said the Captain firmly and loudly. Charitis turned to look at Aunt Rhody and to wink at her again, lest she be too overcome with humiliation to remain to witness the end of the encoun. ter. His look returned immediately after to the Captain. “But you know what a perfectly wonderful cook Aunt Rhody is,” he urged. “Have you the heart to deny her the chance to exercise her most unusua! tai- ents in that line?’ “sir.” eald the Captain in his. once-for-all wone. “I refuse to pay one cent toward an extravagant pampering of ignoble appetites. One is no more hun- ery after eating corned beef than after eating turkey, and food is not to ‘be regurded in the «ght of anything but necessity. 1 also’’— he added fore- stalling the next impertinent question—‘refuse to allow my wife to squander her substance on any such vanity of vanities. What is the custom, how other people spend their money, concerns me not.” “But,” said John Charitis, “you really think it ia wrong to pamper one’s appetite with. Gainties, eech as turkey and chestnut stuffing?" “Certain iy." “Do you, Aunt Rhody?’ How mncoettl was that side of his face presented to the Captain! “Well, not wrong, Sonn, dear,” sad J was coming to. ‘« I had ‘ “aught it an of my life cooking dainties.

Captain. “it can’t be denied that turkey costs a steat deal more than Carnes beef. and that one can satisfy one’s hunger with the less expensive meat.’ The Captain assumed his triumph. Rising, he turned to leave the room but the veice of his guest, still seated ut the board, held him. ‘Well, now, I'll tell you,” said Charitis. “Corned beef and | are nov strang- ers. In fact I had some for my dinner last evening. Now, I’ve been living along some months, ‘kept up under ‘he tyranny of cold potatoes and bitter te by the hope and expectation of vacation with my Aunt Rfody and of filling my perishable frame with as much juicy turkey and hot mince-real-wine pie as it would hold. So this is in the nv*ure of.a horrible disappointment to me. but I’m glad ~we talked it al} out se that I could see exactly where you eed, both of you. With you, Captain. it’s a matter of principle and conviction, and I don’t want to have it said of me that I ever tried to shake a mau from what he considered a righteous position. With Aunt Rhody it is just @ wifelv willingness not to spend your money or hers in a way that disvieases you. Well, now, since you say it is none of your businéss how other people spend their money, you can have no objection to my buying a turkey and some chest- nuts and cranberries and mincemeat and auch folderol for tomorrow's din- ner and asking my Aunt Rhody as a favor to exercise her wonderful art upon these humble ingredients and convert them into food fit for beiceae vopaney himself. As a map of your word you can’t object to that idea. cau you? The Captain stood irresolute. Somehow. the young marXs enthusiastic in- terest in Christmas viands hed sonfewhet awakened nis old boyish love of goodies, long ago laced into the rigid corset of his mean ec enomies. “I dont see,” he admitted slowly,|“that since vou have so set your heart on your turkey, apd it would spoil sour whole Christmas if you didn't get it—I don’t see that I object very muck to your bringing it around and Rhody's cooking it for dinner tomorrow.’ “Then you consent?” said John, dear. too much aware of the delicacy of the situation to believe that Aunt Rhody would undertake the matter without the black and white permission of her lord. Visions of brown turkey and crimsoned sauces and of smoking mince pie would have prevented his giving any fway confirmation of his permission had the Captain so intended. “Yes, I consenz.”” he said. “‘( ee whatever folderols you please, while you're here. and Rhody can cook them.” “Thank you very much.” said John, dear, and his voice assumed unexrected- ly the tone of one pronouncing another's doom. He rose and pushed his chair back into place. “‘Make out your list, Aunt Rhody. and I'l go right down to the stores. Be sure to say enough of everything, enough for two, that is, be- cause, of course, the Captain. since he considers our feasting wrong, will eat his corned beef and boiled potatoes just the same.” ” * a ad * * « 6 * ° * *- 7 A stranger New Year's dinner £ureiy was never seen than that spread next day on the Captain's table. At one end was the small piatter with the corned beef and boiled potatoes. At the other end a splendid turkey fit for a king reared its proud breast, and a distractingly anpetizing odor of mingled onion, %ae. chestnut and apple issued therefrom atthe first plunge of Aunt Rhody's knife. John, dear. presided over several covered dishes, found to contain that crimson jelly of cranberries. for the making of which Aunt Rhody: held her place in a famous cook book. frothy potatoes whipped with the richest and most ex- travagant cream, salt and butter. tomatoes stuffed with minced ham and bread crumbs and baked in their own Beast, and thin, crisp, sweet slices of browned egg-plant. The commingled fragrance «f these folderols smote the Captain’s nostrils with the incense of temptation. But he gave no sign. Aunt Rhody, in her affection for nim. which John could see, bad struggled valiantly with her pathetic listaste for his miserly wavs, was only prevented by ner nephew's stern reminder of her secret promise to him from. sending down to her husvand a plate laden with Christmas cneer But John, dear, positively kicked ner un- der the table to remind her that the end was not yet, and immediately began a minute and detailed praise of the many good things set before him, waich did not end unti] they were consumed, and the after-benison of hot mince ple and cheese and Aunt Rhody’s coffee was being absorbed fn the reverential silence it deserved. Long before John, dear, and the proud and happy culinary artist had finished approving and appreciating her spoils the Captaiuw had ex- cused himself and departed to parts unknown. Then did the sinful two com- pare and consult as to future deployments, and much iror did John have to inst'll Into the tender heart of Aunt Rhody to brace her for a continuance of therr heartless procedure. “For supper, Aunt Rhoay, made into croquettes, with the can of peas and a cream sauce. tles, my dearest of dears, afterward wi'h imarmatade.” Caught Eating Turkey fer His Life. Aunt Rhody sigi.ed as she rose. “Hew you car think of eating waffles and croquettes with your insides as ful’ of Christmas dinner as they must be, is past my comprehension.”’ “You haven't been living in a boarding house for 12 months, replied Jehn Charitis, laughing. “Mavbe I haven't,”” said she. And John. dear. remembered the thin, cold meat. However. when supper came—and the courses of the stars were not more exact as predicted than the courses of Jolin's erdering-—even Aunt Rhody, who had been sleighing with her extravagant nephew, was equal to her share of croquettes and waffies, which latter she ate on a system wholly her own, be- tween the cooking of fresh batches. .The Captain sat moodily before his cold meat and bread and tea, and, as before, «xcused himself early. whiie yet Char- itis was filling the honeycomy holes of crisp, boi waffles with marmalade. That evening the next duy’s feast was planned before bedtime, the most ex- pensive and best things ever hung and displayed in a market being select °d by John, dear, and flutteringly accepied with gentle protest by Aunt Rhody, The marvels that she achieve filed her nephew with unhety jo). and -;« last remains of tre turkey, pressed cold into a beautiful jelly. were worthy of association with the first ¢hoice worsels of the holiday bird. It was on the third day of the new regimen that the first indication of ultimate victory came to gladden the breést of Charitis and to lift a little from ihe soul of Aunt Rhody the doubt and fear that had begun to possess her after the second day of uysuccessful operations. The news came indirectly from Bil! Anderson, who had been commissioned by Charitis to deliver at the house two fat, over-fed chickens and a barre! of luscious, red, polished apples, the mdst exclusive apples that ever grew on trees since tie flaming sword went to stand before the gate of the Garden of Eden. “What's the matter with Capt. A<a’” was the first remark from Bill Ander- son as he rolled the barrel into pluce and turned his red, cheerful face towari Aunt Rhody. “Aren't you teeding i:iim enough? I should say from the orders we've been getting down to the store he's been [living pretty high.” John Charitis sprang from his chair, where he had been sitting talking to Aunt Rhody and petting the cat while she cut potatoes Inio small, round balls and dropped them wih a flop int» cold water. “What do you mean?” te raid, as the cat fell to the fieor. “Why, as I was coming vy the tHurboro’ Arms,” said Bill Anderson, stowly, ‘going to get that there asparagus ou ordered from the Timmins place, | seen the Captain setting In the window «: a table.

T HE fate of many a man and woman is decided by a fortune teller. _A public official in Chieago who was trying to drive out the~i500 professional fortune ‘tellers in that city declared that there was not ’ @ man, woman or child in this country who was not influenced, directly or indirectly, by fortune tellers. He said that fortune tellers worked more harm than good. His statement was: “Thousands of persons each year give up all strivings for better things and resign them- selves to some fate foretold by a forture teller. _ i ie. — a. Simple Faith in “Seers” Too Often Makes Their Dire Predictions “Come True” and Leads Its Victims Into Misfortunes and Even Death # A Girl Becomes a Thief, a St. Louis Man Dies in Agony, a Model Husband Goes on a Spree, a Woman Drowns, All Because of Belief in “Prophets” # Lives are Blighted and Careers Ruined “They think it is no use fighting against the Inevitable. A fortune teHer predicts that a man is to become a drunkard. And, if he believes ‘it, the chances are he will become a drunkard, simply because he thinks it inevitable that he should be one. A wife consults a fortune teller and is told that the man she loves is untrue. The seeds of distrust are sown that ends in a di- yorce. How many millions are impelled to follow lines opposed to their best interests, just because of the predictions of fortune tellers, no one will ever know. In St. Joseph, Mo., an incident happened last month which partly confirms the statement of the Chicago official. Faye Cuthbert, a girl 16 years old, from Burlington, Io., was arrested for stealing. “I was born to be a thief,” was the startling statement rhe made to the police. “Before my birth a fortune teller told mamma that she would some day have a daughter who, when 4 little child, would be .sweet and obedient,” Faye con- tinued. “She said that When the daughter entered her teens she would become More and more unruly, and before she attained her majority she would follow in the footsteps of her father.” “What about your father?” was asked. “Oh, he served two terms in the Penitentiary,” was the reply. “I suppose I am only doing as he did, and :.8 the fortune teller said I would.” Magical Words As a Cure. “Why don’t you try and do better? You don’t liave to steal,” the Police Captain said to her. “What's the use of trying? If God made me to be a thief I'll be one in spite of any trying I might do.” Two months ago the city of St. Louis was starticd by the discovery that a fortune teller on Cass avenue was treating all sorts of diseases by “spells” and “charms.” -.A young man, ill with consumption, had so mich faith in this fortume teller that he refused to evén see a physician. He believed he would be cured by cer- tain magical words written with a toothpick upon the inside of a glass and then dissolved in hot coffee and drunk by him. He died in great agony, without medical attention. When the “‘ortune teller was arrested he ad- mitted that he treated the young man /in that way, and that he treated many others. “ “It’s my business. I pay a license to the city for the privilege,”’ he said. And he escaped un- punished. Am examination of the books of this fortune teller showed that hundreds of fami- lies denended upoh him for advice and guidance in all their, .f aics. ET SRE ‘ bei rt +) x hte ake see + + . The police of St. Louis were asked recently to find Clintcn H. Stillman of Eldora, Ic. de had gone to a fortune teller for advice and was told that he would die before the close of the year 19038. Like the negro of George Cohan’s song, Still- man said: “If I'm goin’ to die I’m goin’ to have some fun,” and he left home and came to St. Louis and went on a spree. He weighed 276 pounds and was in perfect health, but he believed the fortune teller and the result was that he al- most lost his position, spent all of his money and nearly broke his wife’s heart. , Driven to Murder and Suicide In Chicago recently Charles F. Reinheimer was driven by fortune tellers to murder his sister-in- law, Mrs. annie Lewis, and to kil! himself. Mrs. Lewis was a fortune teller, one of the kind that goes into trances and communicates with spiriis, She declared to Mrs. Reinheimer that the spirits advised her to leave her husband and two chil- dren. The wife, having implicit faith in the spirit messages, was preparing to go when her husband, driven to madness by the trouble, killed his fortune telling sister-in-law and then killed himself. There is little doubt that many a person has been literally scared to death by the predic- tions of fortune tellers. That the mind has suf- ficient control and influence over the body to cause disease and even death, under certain cir- cumstances, ‘s well known. Every well-informed physician knows that worry will cause serious diseases. One of the most prolific causes of Bright’s disease is worry. A skilled physician will in every case try first to set the mind of his patient at rest, well knowing that faith in thé doctor and in his medicine is more than half the cure. P To prove the influence of the mind upon. the body an experiment was once made in a Londen hospital. For the purposes of the test a convict under sentence of death was turned over to the physicians. He was told that instead of being hanged to a gibbet, where his body would swing in the winds for months and be devoured by birds, he was to be bled to death. He was stripped naked, bound and placed standing in a tib. The physielans c7'hered around him and talked in solemn whisve-s. They pricked his skin over one of the arteries and pretended to have lanced it. Warm water from a tube was made to run down his flesh from the supposed opened artery. The prisoner thought it was his own blood. The physicians felt his pulse, listened to his heart beats, talked of how his str-ngth was weakening and his heart ceasing to™beat, and, althotigh not a drop of his blood was lost, he did actually die with every symptom of having bled to death. It was fright and imagination that killed him. In St. Louis last fall a man imagined that he had hydrophobia and he went through every symptom of that disease, even barking and snarling like a dog. The doctors at the City Hos- vital, knowing it to be an imaginary ailment, ~ cured him completely by ma*ing him hclieve that he was being cured a little each day. The moment his mind tecame convinced that he was cured he was = wll as he ever was. 4 Thought Herself Doomed and Sank. Last summer Miss Hattie L. Wright, a school- teacher of Peor.a County, Illinois, was told by a fortun? teller that she was soon to be drowned, fhe was so impressed with the prediction that she ede her will before she started upon a vacation trip to the Pacific Coast. She was a passenger of the fll-fated steamer Columbia, which went down off the coast of California. A woman friend whe Wes with Miss Wright saved her own life ané declares that Mies Wright might have saved he life, too, but she was 80 impressed with the p’adiction of the fortune teller that she though‘ it was useless to struggle, she was doome’ any- way, and so she sank and was drowned, ~ - " ¥ via pt Wana) a(t tt ii ais f u My j iI F SOE ice N Hg OG HS ’ mi Wie *,"@ * _ ¢ " H A\ (\\\ ee (0) : Bi Uo?

Come back at once!’ In answer to the summons the upturned eyes resumed their natural angle and became riveted on mine. The voice that had before uttered only the ravings of delirium now spoke coherently. “It is too late!’ it murmured. “It is not too late. Stay where you are. As- sume immediately control of your physica] func- tions and get well. I, the spirit of your fortunes, command you to get well!’—all this in an impera- tive, forceful tone. The directiofis were implicitly followed. A change for the better supervened. Gradually the mental fear cleared away, the physical strength returned, and today the young woman is perfectly well, filling an important posi- tion in the choir of an uptown church. And, I may add, she is completely cured of all faith in fortune tellers.” In Ptiteburge reeen‘ly Miss Mary Lincoln re- William H. Allen of Omaha was told by a for- SZ tune teller that a sickness would befall him at the end of his fifty-second year and that he would die. The thing worked upon his mind until i, resumed the gravity and weight of a death sen- | tence. He was continually worrying about it. end when the time came, as foretold by the for- tune teller, te became sick and died, of worry and fright. The fortune teller in that case was as much a murderer 08 if he had stabbed Mr Allen *o dea*h. Dr. Jchn PD. Quackenbos of New York telle fused to proceed with her intended marriage to Joseph Parker because a fortute teller predicted that the marriage would be unlucky. Numerous instances of that kind might be told. That thousands of persons in St. Louis are guid- ed in their affairs by the advice of fortune tellers is proven by the great number of these “proph- ets” who do buriness here. There are hundreds of them. Tliey pose under different names, such as “Astral seer,” “planet reader,” “charm work- er,” “gifted with second sight,” “gypsy life read- ers,” “trance mediums,” “casters of hotescopes,” “slate writers,” “clairvoyants” and ‘“paimists.” But they are all fortume tellers und hoihing more.

Also cut out the circles containing the heads of possible candidates. Four may play in eee Re ae this game at one time. First, each player makes hissselection of a “possible President,” the one he favors, perhaps, and there are. six to select ~~ Ff & from. This decided, the first player puts his President on the corner square marked Treasury Building, we will say. The second selects the Capi- : tol, ete., until all four corners are occupied by a “man.” The aim of each player is to get HIS man to the White House first, thereby winning the game. The arrow is cut out, mounted on cardboard and fastened with a pin to the center of the circle containng the White House building. It can then, with a finger touch, be sent whirling around: the circle, The arrow points to one number when it stops. We will take the player who selected Mr. Taft, for instance. His man is in one of the four out- side squares, and he gives the arrow a twirl. If it stops at 2, for instance, then he may move out upon a black square in either direction and to the next white square if two is his limit. If it be more, he counts right along, each square counting one and the corner squares with the pictures one also, except his home square, Having moved according to his number, he next player twirls the arrow and moves acording to number, then the third and the fourth, when it reverts to the first again. Each player must take his man all. the way around the board and back to his own honie square again. In approaching the home square it will then count. as one, but he is entitled to move down. the squares to the White House. Before he can jump into the circle, which counts as ONE, he must spin the correct “and even number to land him there. The dial num- ber he spins on the honte stretch MUST equal ip count to the squares he has before him. If the number you spin makes your man fail upon 2 space already occupied the spin is lost.
