HOW THE TERMINAL ASSOCIATION SYSTEM WORKS AGAINST ST. LOUIS “It is not ordinary business growth that has built up East St. Louis. It ts distinctly a growth dependent on a combination of economic and physica] conditions, operating in such a manner as to make the Missis- sippi River a barrier to manufacturing interests, holding them on the east side of the river,-which, economically considered, is the better, but, physi- cally considered, is decidedly the poorer. “Many physical conditions lead to the embarrassment of the East St. Foundation sites are always poor, the ground and buildings are often inundated by high water, and the securing of an ade- quate and cheap supply of water is oftentimes rendered exceedingly diffi- The layman is, therefore, led to inquire why the site of East St. Louis is not abandoned and manufacturing plants located nearer the cen- ter of St. Louis and the homes of workmen. found in an economic situation, unique in that it transcends every other condition, physical or political, in this section of the country. “The Terminal Railroad Association owns the Eads Bridge and con- As these are the only two bridges crossing the Mississippi River at this point, it will be seen that the conditions seem to operate to restrain trade from crossing the river to St. Louis, because every ton of coal crossing either of the bridges pays a toll of 20 cents and every ton of coal burned in St. Louis costs the user 20 cents more than on The answer to this query is “This toll on coal coming into St. Louis tends to keep the mamufac- turer on the east side of the river.” From a report of the State Geological Commission of Hnots appoint - ed by the Legislature to inquire into the water resources of East St. Louis.

tries. They told me they could not meet the competitive prices, and the rea- son they gave was that coal cost 20 cents a ton more in St. Louis than in Dast St. Louis. Now, if you publish that, the St. Louis factories will deny it, but it is true as gospel and here are the competitive prices to prove it. This condition, as anyone can readily see, means fewer workmen and fewer fami-

lies for St. Louis, and fess business a!! around.”’ Anti-Mornopoly Club. A leading merchant of St. Louis said: ‘Talk about a ‘Million Chub.’ What we want in St. Louis is an Anti- Monepoly Club. If the business men don’t band together and do something to stop the Terminel Railroad Associa- tion from sandbagging the city there f a 7 as oe yg eke ‘Sp FE a rs, a po not be business cat ‘left ol support a million “There aren't any new factories com- ing in and a merchant has a gloomy prospect of fit as he watches all the new industries going to the other side of the river because of the tax on ‘coal that crosses the river. Some of these fellows who own stock in the Termiua! Railroad Association will accuse me of disloyalty to St. Louis in talking so plainly. *But the disloyalty would be in try- ing to coverup the fact that St. Louis is being ruined by this Terminal trust.” It is interesting to see what the Gov- ernment experts of Illinois think of this extortionate tax upon coal crossing the Mississippi River.into St. Louis. Last year the State Geological Commission of Illinois issued in book form a report upon the water resources of East Bt. Louis and the economic conditions which had built up a great manufacturing cit} upon the lowlands there, where suitable water is. difficuit to obtain and where tre factories are liable to inundation by flood each year. The survey upon which the report is based was made for the State by Isaiah Powman of Yale University, assisted by Chester A. Reeds under the direction of H. Foster Bain of the University of Illinois. In this respect Mr. Bowman declares positively and emphatically that the mest important industries of St. Louis are located on the great level plain forming the Bast St. Louis district, not because of any natural neason, but solely because of the arbitrary bridge toil upon coal exacted by the, Terminal Railroad Association. Natural Site Is Here. He declares that the natufal site for the great manufacturing plants located in East St. Louis is not in East St. Louis but in St. Louis, and he asserts that these factories and plants were forced to the east bank of the Mississippi solely by the bridge toll of 20 cents a ton an coal. He says in his report: “The St. Louis and Hast St. Louis ter- minals are managed by a monopoly or eombination of the thirteen or more leading railroads which enter the city. As these railroads, under the name of the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis own and control the Eads Bridge and are being asked by the United States Government to disprove ownership of the Merchants’ Bridge, and further, as these are the only two pridges across the Mississippi River at this point, it will be seen that these conditions seem to operate to restrain trade from crossing the river. “Coming still closer to the problem of the manufacturers, it is seen that where, as in one instance, 400 to 450 tons of coal are consumed daily by a single manu- facturing firm, the extra cost per day, were the plant lecated in St. Louis, would be $80 or more, or an excess of $25,000 per annum on coal alone. This tends to keep the manufacturer on the eastern side of the river. “As Spreviously pointed out, the site ef East St. Louis is not ideal, involv- ing as it does, damage from flood and insecure foundations. It is not there- fore, ordinary business growth that is exemplified in East St. Louis.

Prof. Bowman declares that ag ece- nomic situation, af an e bridge toll that has built my the cite. Of East St. Louis, is unique in that it tran- scends every other condition, physical or political, In thfs section of the coun- try. He says further in his report: ‘“Man- ufacturing inte assert that it is this condition relative to coal trans- portation that has resulted in their cen- tralization at Bast St. uis.”’ A coal dealer who owns a mine in the East St. Louis district and sells his out- put in St. Louis, said: “Every ton of coal burned in St. Louis costs the user 37 cents more than it would cost if there was a free bridge across the Mississippi River. Every ton of coal that comes to St. Louis from

the Illinois district pays to the bridge and coal it ought e Terminal Railroad Associa of St. Louis, owner of the bridge mo- nopely. extorts from every user of m St. Louis 20 cents upon each ton coal burned here. The coal vittroad combine extorts 17 cents too much for Loul haul from the mines te Hast St. uis. “This coal transportation trust bears harder upon the people of 8t. Louis than all other trusts combined. Only a small proportion of the _ le ~ my this city pay tribute to the Oil not nearly all pay tribute to the "Wokeams Trust or the Lumber Trust; but all the peer. every man, woman and child in Louis is ievied upon by this coal transportation trust. “The Terminal Railroad Association and its allied railroads, controlling as they do the price of reer ton of coal coming into Bt. Louis, have done more to keep down the growth of this city than all other influences or conditions combined. The injury this one combina- tion has done to St. Louis is impossible of calculation. It’s hand has been and is in the pocket of every citizen of St. Louis. It has driven manufacturing industries away from St. Louis. ‘It has driven working men by the thousands from this city and forced them to seek work elsewhere. It has lessened the business of every merchant and of ev- ery professional man. Another coal dealer said: ‘‘How the managers of this coal trust must have laughed in their sleeves at the ‘* brick’ they: handed the people of St. Louis when they announced a reduc- tion of 10 cents a ton in the bridge toll. In reality they made no reduction at all, but an increase of 7 cents a ton. The railroads hauled the coal for years to East St. Louis for 25 cents. Why ort they haul it now for the same rate? Ky 4 can, but the same railroads that haul coal compose the Terminal Ratiroad Association which controls the two bridges, and when they cut the bridge toll they raised the freight rate. This 17 cents a ton, added to the extor- tionate bridge tol] of 20 cents, makes 87 cents a ton more for coal paid by the people of St. Louis than they ought to pay.

OUT. OF CIVIL SERVICE

Salaries of “Help” at Capitol Largely Increased Under Republicans.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—That the ple which congressmen eat every noon in the Capitol basement is not all they have under their own roof in the big building on the hill is evidenced by the bill passed by the House this week making appropriations for legislative, executive and judicial expenses during the fiscal year beginning in June. Besides providing $3,679,500 for con- gressmen’s salaries, the measure appro- priates $1,783,193.25 for the 1282 persons who wait on Congress. The &% cents goes to an assistant foreman of the folding room along with $1405 which he gets for putting folds in weighty doceu- ments. Civil Service Does Not Apply. None of these offices is under the Civil ‘Service. They are held by men appointed by the clerks, the head door- keepers, the sergeants at arms and the ether -chief officers in waiting on Con- gress. They are rewards for the workers of the party in power. There are nearly three employes to every member of the House and nato. Kach member, of course, has his secre may be clerks, borers. The Vice-President and the Speaker each have four office employes. The Clerk of the House has 71 assistants and the Secretary of the Senate 87. Senate committees struggle along with 64 clerks and House committees with Gl. The House committees also have 29 janitors, whose ¢hief duty Is to sit outside the committee rooms during meetings and see that somebody doesn’t There are 638 House commit- tees and 71 in the Senate.

These include messengers, pages and laborers. he sergean's-at-arms of the more turbulent House of Representatives has Sy only eleven men on his staff, but the corkeeper is ready to come to his aid emergencies with an army of 208 door- men, watchmen, messengers, clerks, la- borer® and janitors. . Thir men are s to handle the represe tives’ mail and 15 are em- ployed far the same purpose in the Sen- ate. ' The Capitol police force numbers 73 men.

The bathrooms of the House engage , the attention of three “laborers” at $720 each. Republicans Raise Wages. In addition to these and the men who do clerical work on the records there are telegraph operators, locksmiths, ma- chinists, electricians and upholsterers. Since the Republicans have been in power they have annually raised the Salaries of their attendants until the to- tal increases range from 25 to 100 per cent for various employes. A change of party In power in Con- » gress would mean a clean sweep and new army in camp in the Capitol. @ Democrats say it would also mean a cutting of expenses and lopping off of soft snaps.

It THAN THE SOUTHWEST GAINS SLOWL! —B. F. YOAKUM Chairman of Frisco Board Gives Impressions of Trade,

250,000 MEN AFFECTED

350,000 Idle Cars Show the Extent of Recent De- pression.

& NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—At the request of the Post-Dispatch, B. IF. Yoakum, chairman of the board of the Frisco Line, gave these impressions of condi- tions in the Southwest as gathered by him in his recent tour of inspection: “On my recent trip through the West and Southwest I found conditions slow- ly but substantially improving. The low condition, however, which business has reached, and the large number of un- employed has started a great many per~ sons to thinking and they are taking a different view of the situation than they did when the panicky conditions began. “The fact that there are approximate. ly 350,000 idle cars standing on side tracks and a proportionate number of locomotives that have not been under steam for four months, has more sig- nificance than would occur to anyone unless he went somewhat into the situ- ation. “To put it In another way, there are approximately two million freight cars in the service of &1l] the roads in the United States. Therefore 350,000 Idle cars represent one-sixth of the entire equipment, with a proportionate num- ber of idle locomotives. Quarter Million Idle Men. “During the heavy traffic of last year there were approximately one and half million employes on the payrolls o all the railroads of the United States, and as the number of cars in service measures the number of employes neces- sary to handle them, there are approx- imately 250,000 idle employes in the Unit- ed States, or working short hours; that is, some shops instead of reducing the number of employes, cut down their werking time to three or four days a week, as the.case may be, and some have been altogether closed. ‘‘This does not include the large num- ber of employes out of work who here- tofore were engaged by car and locomo- tive builders in furnishing equipment to move the then constantly increasing traffic of the country. ‘Tf you will follow out to a conclu- sion the relation of the railroads to the country, and take into consideration that approximately 25 per cent of all the output of the lumber mills of this coun- try, belng consumed by the railroads in their maintenance, repair and new con- struction work, and the construction of new equipment by the car building companies, you will realize what a large proportion of the growth and prosperity of the country depends upon the prosperity of the railroads, as this applies to all other kinds of material as well as lumber. ‘It.applies equally to the threwfng out of employment of thousands of la- borers who are engaged in placing these ings as it is recefved from the lumber dealers and dealers in other material. By reason of loss of wages the gro- ceryman, the merchant and every in- terest feels the hard times which will not change as long as corporations and citizens must quit buying and live as poor folk. Blames the Legislators. “When@the former conditions are restored, which must come to meet the requirements of the growing business of the country, or as soon as legis- lators and the railroad commission- ers change thelr attitude, it will fa- vorably affect every class of. citizens of this country. “Tl was gratified to find throughout the country the feeling among the people generally as well as the rail- way employes that the railroads of the country should be permitted to continue their developments and in# provement work and the cause of their present discredited condition should be removed. “I. believe the public will be fair as it realizes that the railroads of the country do not ask or expect any- thing unfair from them; but when through lack of proper information carefully considered the roads’ reve- nues are diminished through legis- lators — State Commissionsrs and by so reducing the railroads’ earnings and affecting their standing to such an extent that they cannot sell se- curities or borrow money, there can only be one result, which we are now feeling and which has Affected the whole country.

Castarets act as a bowel tonic, not as an irritant. They are vegetable. Their action is natural. Their effect is the same as the effect of some foods. They are gentle; no griping. 7 They are pleasant; no dreading. They are convenient; no waiting. One old way was castor oil. The effect was to grease the bowels, and for a single day. Oil never causes the bowel muscles to act. Other ways were pills, salts and cathartics. The effect was the same as pe pper has in the nostrils. They fiooded the bowels with fluid.

NOW, MR. AD INS, YOU >. eiese3 Fas Me i, E Nc US WALK!

Does Water Commissioner Adkins’ re- fusal to transport 10 times as many passengers as the equipment of his mu- nicipal railroad will accommodate con- stitute an act in restraint of trade? Mr. Adkins has been requested by Secretary of State Swanger to answer that question under oath. And Mr. Ad- kins replies—but not to Mr. Swanger— that it is enough to provoke an oath from any man. This is only one of the many embar- rassing interrogations that are con- tained in a form of affidavit that the Secretary of State has asked Mr. Ad- kins to fill and return to Jefferson City. “Does your railroad issue free passes to public officials or grant rebates or re- ductions of any kina?’ That is the question that Mr. Ad- kins calls impertinent. He does issue passes. And te public officials. To nearly everyone. One of his chief ex- ecutive duties as head of his railroad is signing those bits of pasteboard. Mayor Wells himself is a passholder. So are all the other city officials. Here's a Shocking Rebate. As to rebates, any passenger can get one. But it is obtained through sub- terfuge. You board a car expecting to be carried to the Chatfn of Rocks at the rate of 35 miles an hour. But you get a rebate of 30 miles an hour and are carried at a five-mile rate. It’s clearly a violation of the statutes, and of good manners as weil. Mr. Adkins is directed to make reply —all the while under the same eath— whether he is a party to any pool or agreement with any other raflroad. He is, but probably wouldn't openly admit it. He has privately declared that the Burlington road and the HDagte Packet Co. can have all the passenger traffic between Bissell’s Point and the Chain of Rocks. He doesn’t want this busi- ness, and his employes are instructed to refuse to transport any one who hasn’t a pass. A tender of a cash fare would probably result in the ejectment of the person who made it Mr. Adkins believes that all the per- sons who failed to get permission to ride to the Chain of Rocks from Bissell’s Point last summer and in previous years will take advantage of the situa- tion and rush to Jefferson City to swear that he is combining to throttle trade. Not a Great Trunk Line. The municipal railroad is 7% miles of cars appears like proof that it !s in a conspiracy to restrain trade and speed and everything but the profanity of the engtneer. Mr. Adkins has for a long time tried to keep secret the fact that he had a railroad. In some way it became public, ‘and Secretary Swanger learned it. Now he demands to know all the particulars. The only element of consdlation in the whole affair, Commissioner Adkins says, is the official definition of “railroad’’ given his stretch of track and his feeble little engine. ——— Meyer Bros.’ Annual Entertainment, For many years the Meyer Bros. Drug Co. have given one evening to promoting sociabiNty among their employes. Some- times this entertainment is in the way of a picnic given in the afternoon, but later years it has usually been an en- tertainment of some character fellowed by a dance. This year the arrangement of the even- ing’s entertainment was given over to the Mutual Aia association of the Meyer Bros. Drug Co., who have arranged a most attractive yaudeville program, and as part of which they will present “twelve living pictures.’’ This was ar- ranged by the surprise committee and will be one of the features of the even- ing of Tuesday, March 3d, at Lemp’s Park Hall, Thirteenth and Utah sts.

As I had one child die with consumption yon may imagine my feelings.

I am a practical miner, but never saw a proposition before that looked quite so at- tractive to me as this one. Respectfully, GRANT KIRTS. Wellington Mines Co., Kansas City, Mo. Gentlemen:—As you doubtless know I have been mine foreman at your Wellington property at Breckenridge for the past two years, and have been a §ractical miner in Colorado for more than 14 years. It gives me pleasure to say that in all my mine experience 1 never be- fore worked in a mine that presents such flat- tering prospects for dividends to stockholders.

It’s Lead and Zinc That Pays | reaens ae _ mining in Leadville, Joplin, Couer @ ousands of Investors are drawing regular dividends their Lead and Zine Stocks. The demand for these metals is constantly ae holders of good Lead and Zine Stocks will draw greater dividends in the future than past. Metal men predict that higher prices for these metals will be reached within a than they have ever brought before. The Wellington will be in position to profit by this advance when it comes. Look over Leadville, Joplin, Couer d’ Alene or any other lead-zine district in try and you will not find a mine to equal the Wellington, yet lead and zinc mines in districts are returning millions of dollars in dividends to ‘stockholders every , waste your time trying to find a gold mine but take lead and zine where results Samples of ore sent free. The Wellington Is a Great Mine Now It’s value is proven. Over 100,000 tons of ore have been blocked out by thousands of of funnels, winzes and upraises. This ore is richer and more valuable than the ores of Lead- ville or Joplin. It can be mined and milled at alow cost and there is a ready market for ton that can be produced. It has required more than five years to develop this property and get it ready for a mill. Buy this stock and reap the benefit of all this With only a limited amount of stock to be sold to give the company ample funds to com the work undertaken, it will undoubtedly be rapidly subscribed at t price. With a in operation this stock can be depended upon to yield satisfactory returns and with immense ore bodies it can be operated for ages wilhent exhausting the supply. The Wellington is in a position today to invite investors with the oamed that great and valuable mine can give. Its ore is blocked out, its tests have been its plans are complete. If you have made unfortunate investments, don’t blame your own judgment in not selecting the stock of a real mine that has proved its yond question.

; ‘Proposed to Ambassador’s . Daughter on Ship, but His : Attendants Apologized.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—In what may prove to be a record-breaking trip for royalty, Nawah Sultan Ul Bahadur of | Hyderabad, India, reached New York « this week and sailed for London in order a keep up with the speed schedule. +’ #£AN) haste in reaching London is made ‘oat lin ebedience to the royal mandate of . His Highness’ uncle, ruler of the inde- _ ‘pendent realm of Hyderabad. Lacs of | rupees are being spent without stint to accomplish this end. Once in London, famous allenists will be employed to at- ‘tend the Prince. He will then have traveled 12,000 miles for aid. He and his suite of nine took an ex- press steamer from Yokahoma on Jan. 2 and arrived in San Francisco on Feb. 14. Much uneasiness was felt by the Japanese and British governments because of the mystery with which the journey was surrounded. | The Mikado and his peers and repre- sentatives of King Edward wanted to honor the Prince with entertainment be- fitting his exalted rank. All invitations were declined. The Prince furnished the ‘key to the mystery. He granted an au- dience to a Post-Dispatch reporter in his saloon on the White Star liner Bal- tic. “Cable dispatches suggest that you are going to London on a , diplomatic - mission.”’ His Highness made no reply. His eyes were lusterless. He stood motion- jess for several minutes and then mur- . wired: . “Cannot you read my thoughts?’ Leaves Wives Behind. ' He has asked members of his suite - this question on several occasions when they have sought to arouse him after . days of silence. * Seven wives in a beautiful palace in ‘e Hyderabad mourn the ¢absence of the +. Prince. They are famed as the fairest -* and most sprightly women in all the - fFealm. The Prince's uncle boasts a har- 2 ee Ree Se hoe aS : & CR os Satie the Pp? - - - - af A a : “" . be 4 s — a 8 ee ee 1 em in which 300 lovely wives live in | amity. Hyderabad is one of the few . Independent states remaining in India. Tt has a population of 6,000,000 souls, - and maintains a standing army of 25,000 - well trained and thoroughly equipped soldiers. The Prince is an tmpressionable man. He met on the Korea, the steamer on ,,. which he sailéd from Yokohama, the Count de Amberro, Austro-Hungarian '. Ambassador to Tokio, and the latter's 1) wife and daughter. Two physicians at- + tending His Highness intimated to | fount de Amberro that their royal pa- | tlent forebore making acquaintances on *° his journey. Charming Marie de Am- - \} betro was walking on the deck one % Pay morning when the Indian Prince ap- (1 proached. + ~ “Good morning,” she said, sweetly. | “Will you marry me, quick?’ was the instant rejoinder of His Highness. | Mile. De Amberro fled to her fa- | ther’s stateroom and _ told of the strange proposal. Members of the ' royal suite learned of the incident a few days later and elaborate apologies were sent to the Ambassador. Converted by Bible. ‘Those of his suite who are fellow countrymen are greatly distressed be- _ cause of His Highness’ symptoms of becoming a proselyte. He was a de- yout Mohammedan when he left Hy- ' @erabad, saying his prayers eight times each day, as ordered by the ; prophet. While in Japan he came up- ‘+n on Dr. Chamarette while the latter - Was reading an English Bible, re- ' questing the loan of it. A request _ from the’ Prince is a command.

Expert in Report Shows Tuber- culosis Breeding Dangers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Dr. D. E. Salmon, former Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, has produced an informative report on tuberculosis of the food-producing animals, which the United States Department of Agricul- ture hag just published. Dr. Salmon calls attention to the fact that while there has been in the past much difference of opinion as to the effect of animal tuberculosis upon the public health, the majority of students of the subject are now convinced that bovine tuberculosis may be communi- cated to human beings and that, there- fore, greater precautions. should be taken to protect human beings from animal tuberculosis than are now gen- erally followed. The careful inspection of meat-produc- ing animals at the time of slaughter and of the cows from which milk, cream and butter are produced, is urged, and practical advice is given as to the methods of eradicating tuberculosis and of caring for cattle in such a way that the disease will not spread through herds. Dr. Salmon says: “The ideal conditions for health and for resistance to tuberculosis contagion are life in the open air and an abun- dant supply of nutritious food. The greater the departure made from these ideal conditions the more is the develop- ment of tuberculosis favored. Cattle Need Fresh Air. “Life in the open aftr for cattle. as with man, is not. always sufficient to prevent infection with tuberculosis or to cure it, but its influence is favorable and reduces the chances of infection to the smallest proportion, while at the same time it places the diseased anima! under the best conditions for recovery,”’ he says. In most stables the conditions are un- favorable and different from what they are in the open air. Most stables have no provision for ventilation; either there are drafts of air upon the animal favor- ing the production of colds and ca- tarrh, or there is an insufficient supply of oxygen. “Thig has an important bearing on the spread of tuberculosis tn cattle, for where there is no ventilation disease germs carried into a stable are likely to remain there unt!l they infect ani- mals. “Tt is just as desirable that there should be ample provision to let light into the stable, for the direct rays of the sun are of especial value for destroying the germs of consumption and for in- creasing the resisting power of the ani- mals. In addition to this the sun’s rays aid tn drying and disinfecting the stable. Dark stables are aimost unversally dirty, lamp and unhealthy. Cleanliness First Principal. “A stabie must be clean to be sani- tary. Cleanliness is the very first prin- ciple of sanitation and it must be con- tinually kept in view. Im infected sta- bles the dust is certain to contain tube!- cle bacilli, and these are in a condition to be easily floated into the atmosphere and breathed into the animal’s lungs. “If there are tuberculous cows in a herd the feedboxes and mangers soiled with the saliva of the diseased animals are the most dangerous parts of the stable.”’

~d F so wasn OO ANE ERGO CO LON WONT Ny Sa — THE LURE OF MOREY. | We know from ancient writings that the love of money is no new passion. It was pronounced the root of all evil thousands of years ago. Prophets, philosophers, statesmen and dreamers in all ages have spoken against it or have devised theoretical commonwealths in which it should play no part. Were it not thus known to a certainty that the lure of money has exerted a dominant influence upon the race from the time of the earliest rec- ords there might be excuse in these days for despair. Money and the love of money in one form or another have always played an important part in the affairs of men, vat never more so than at this moment in the United States. Business, of course, is concerned with money, and business now is keener than ever before. Politics is now almost wholly given over to mon- ey. To get or to withhold is the main issue and in some cases necessarily the only issue.. In so- ciety, in art, in literature, éven in matters of religion too often, the main thought, the prin- cipal standards, the great aims are money. The dollar mark is on everything. So it happens that the disclosures recently made at the trial of a will contest across the river from St. Louis are not to be accepted as sounding new depths of human degradation or revealing avarice and baseness heretofore foreign to the human heart. Startling as these publications have been, involving many presumably respectable women in a small town, who fell easily under the influence of an old satyr, such things have been known before. Mammon has won innumerable triumphs over both sexes and in its presence seraphs have despaired. The Illinois case is disheartening, however; in respect not only of the number and the character of the women involved, but in the utter abandon- ment which they have exhibited in their lust of money. It was bruited about that an old man, rich, generous and profligate, could be cajoled into making money payments to women in various ways, and the rivalry that resulted appears to have been practically without moral restraint of any kind. A wise and considerate Judge has kept most of these shameless letters from the public, enough of them have appeared to show that, with all the conditions favorable, a little prairie town in Illinois may come at least within speaking dis- tance of the excesses that characterized the days of Nero. Women young and women old vied with each other for the favor of the wretch who had money, pleaded with him for portions of his wealth, enticed him with promises pf new victims and in their loathsome rivalry did not hesitate to commit themselves to paper. This is one phase of money madness. There are several others closely akin to it, in that under their influence no means are too sordid and no method too criminal for adoption and pursuit. Men and women who value nothing above money are to be seen on all sides and to them is largely due the growing spirit of menace which confronts property everywhere. Money misused and money gained without conscience always have been con- fronted by sullen if not violent hostility to wealth and always will be. Yet the harpies of the prairie town in Illinois who freely offered virtue, good name, self-respect end common decency in exchange for the paltry remittances of a vicious old man with more mon- ey than anything else were probably but one step removed morally from many of those who would divide the possessions of others by force. In both cases the love of money was the impulse and it is an impulse which is absolutely\without control. The fearful degradation of womanhood as re- cently witnessed at Clinton, Ill., is so shocking that it cannot fail to react upon the lawless greed of the day—the greed that sends men like des- peradoes into the market place no less than the greed which impels a woman to bare her charms on the auction block. If it is at all typical of oth- er communities the American commonwealth is nearer its decline than most people have sup- posed, for a people given over to money madness will not long prevail against the tendencies of these times. | Whether typical or not, it is a warning which must be heeded by those who have not fallen un- der the blight of the mania. It is a resounding call for social as well as political and business re- form. It speaks loudly through the shame of hun- dreds in favor of honesty and decency. In the blight that has come upon many homes is writ- ten a warning which, if from no higher motive, should be heeded as pointing unerringly to sor- row and ruin. = = * — Ss we PICKWICK FOR PRESIDENT? The fire of self-importance does not break out in the broad bosom of Secretary Taft. -But, as with the immortal Pickwick, if that fire of self importance ever does break out, his desire to ben- efit the human race in preference effectually quenches it. And as it was with the other, so the praise of mankind is the good Taft's main swing. Shall we revert to the creator of Pickwick for the picture of the candidate the other night at Concord, where he became the apotheosis of self- effacement and mounted into the superlative of praise: That illustrious man mounted inte the Windsor chair, on which he had been previously seated, and addressed the club himself had founded.

Truly a beautiful and Pickwickian sentiment worthy of the noble heart whence it flowed. Which prompts the question: Whom is Taft ad- vocating for President? Evidently he did not come to bury Caesar, but to praise him. _S — — “ae NO LIQUOR ON THE RAIL. If it be true that the Pullman company will soon discontinue the sale of liquors on its cars, there is going to be a drouth among an element of the people which as yet has not experienced much inconvenience from prohibitory enactments. A dining car or a cafe car without Mquor can be compared to nothing but a swell club with no sideboard. In some sections of the country men have been known to travel incidentally for busi-- ness, but mainly to enjoy the entertainment which the Pullman people have provided at a slight advance over the ruling rates. As matters stand now so many prohibition districts are traversed on a long run that the nervous strain on the Pullman service has be- come insupportable. There used to be long stretches of wet territory, but little by little the long stretches became dry and the wet streaks were hardly worth taking into consideration. A Pullman car dry most of the time might as well be dry all the time, for .travelers soon learn to protect themselves against disagreeable surprises. When prohibition went into effect in Iowa the railroad rights of way in that State were literally carpeted with flasks thrown from passing trains by bibulous travelers. Now that prohibition is better understood, there are saloons so near the tracks in some places that liquids can be had at the car windows. Just why travelers should take so kindly to ardent spirits is not easily to be explained, but of the fact there can be little doubt. A tour through a long train, from the second-class smok- ing car in front to the observation car at the rear, will usually reveal to both eyes and nostrils the presence of stimulants. The enterprise of the Pullman company’s com- missary department segregated conviviality of this description to some extent. Probably we may look for it hereafter in the upper berth, or, at the farthest, in the lower berth opposite. A notable revival of industry is reported at all of the bottle factories.

ah i REGULATING SINNERS WITH HELL FIRE. To “shak’ the sinner ower hell’ is a salutary exercise for both preacher and sinner in auy kind of times, and especially in this day of nu- merous heresies and liberalities it is highly re- freshing to observe an evangelist in the local] field picturing future punishment in the good old-fashioned terms of fire and brimstone and burning lake. A touch of heat will do the mod- ern Shadrac, Meshac and Abednego good. While the doctrines of infinite love and infin- ite mercy are more attractive in general than a mere rain crow religion that loves to dwell on perdition and confines fits raucous preachment perennially to the direst of prophesies, it is ob- servable that love and mercy lack restraining force unless varied with the threat of punish- ment; while on the other hand a real Heaven becomes the more beautiful by contrast with a real Hell. The coriception of Hell is somehow elemental in the spiritual make-up of mankind. It has been agreed throughout the ages that the re- ligion which assailed man’s dark and primitive fears was the strongest prompter to his virtue. There is no appeal like that fundamental appeal to what the philosophers and psychologists have eloquently termed his fear of the unknown. It is a fear greater than his fear of earthly pun- ishment which is at the base of his earthly government, and without it there could hardly be a powerful moral or spiritual restraint. Let Hell warn, then, while Heaven beckons, and men will be none the worse for that. Strong preaching that goes to regulate individ- val conduct and spiritual government is the more acceptable in an hour when too many preachers are engaged in regulating civil gov- ernment, regulating the trusts and the tariff, and addressing themselves to financial, econom- ic and particularly to social issues; ag to all of which they are in the very nature of things singularly uninformed and must necessarily do more harm than good. Instead of inveighing against vices in the body politic, if all preachers would concentrate and confine themselves upon stirring up sin- ners and correcting individual behavior, with Hell-fire if need be, doubtless government and politics would the sooner regulate themselves. " hit di a OUR NATURAL HISTORY CHAMPION. Quite naturally the nation is plunged inté grief to learn that there Is any doubt about young The- odore Roosevelt’s having been lightweight cham- pion boxer at college a generation ago. Not that it was necessary for a President-to-be thus early to indicate his future prowess. What prompts the land-wide mourning {s that latterly he seems to have laid positive claim to the title, writing of himself: “In college I did fairly well in my studies, taking honors in natural history and political economy, and was very fond of sparring, being champion lightweight at one time.” Facts, as Carlyle pointed out, are the most inter- esting of all things. Evidently imbued with this idea, some meticulous persons have pursued a quest through the athletic records and college magazine files covering the entire period of young Theodore’s studentship, for the purpose, doubt- less, of corroborating his title which otherwise would have to rest on pure assertion. Sad to re- late, they can find but one mention of_him in the reports of athletic meetings, and this does not furnish the sought-for corroboration. Sadder still to relate, the man who was head of the athletic association in that time comes forth with a flat statement that “Roosevelt never was lightweight champion of Harvard. He made a. mistake when he wrote this. He never sparred put once, and that was in 1879, when he was de-

and bottles negligently

he only boxed once at u championship meeting held by the association.” And othefs of Mr. Roosevelt’s class are reported as confirming this statement. Since most men are prone in later years to ex- aggerate their youthful glory, especially in the fighting line, Mr. Roosevelt’s inaccuracy here, if such we may term it, will be viewed indulgently. If, as Abraham Lincoln declared, biographies are lies, then what may we expect of autobiographies in which the author takes a still fonder view of the subject and particularly the sibject’s boy- hood? Moreover, the scientific cruelty of facts would destroy most of the interest and entertain- ment of universal literature. Even the cherry- tree incident upon which George Washington’s reputation for veracity is based only escapes the ruthless scrutiny and harsh literalness of these times by its remoteness. With such considerations we should somewhat console our own grief and that of posterity over the loss of what might have been a second immac- ulate record for pure and impeccable truth-telling. Incidentally and as an afterthought, we might find further consolation in a more liberal construction of what Mr. Roosevelt has written about his stu- dent capacities and academic and athletic distinc- tions. Claiming to be lightweight champion, he may have referred only to his title of lightweight champion of natural history. None will gainsay that Mr. Roosevelt is the champion natural historian ani natural-born his- torian of these and all other times. = = = ~~ - “GETTING HOLD”.OF THE YOUNG. When those who are interested in juvenile de- linquents suggest that erring youth must be reached by public agencies before it goes wrong they crowd closely upon the preserves of State Socialism, which would have all children reared and trained by the State. Reformers who can make no progress except as aespotic powers are conferred upon them have reither the ability nor the patience to carry on the work in hand. Juvenile courts perform a useful service, but when it is proposed that the State “get hold” of the young before the courts do there ‘s danger that the most cherished human rights will be invaded and that more harm than good will be done. Except in the most vicious surroundings, for the correction of which there is law in plenty now, the humblest and least promising of paren- tal home influences are superior to anything that the State can provide. We have only to look upon the perpetual scandals in State institutions to find proof of the fact. Many a noble character has come from a wretched home. Where are the great and good who have graduated from reformatories, asylums and refuges? \ Dealing with young or old, society does its duty when it takes charge of the wrongdoer. Those who imagine that its clumsy methods can be used to advantage in advance of wrongdoing are wo- fully mistaken. ——— TE i i hn eS. a JUDGE FORT’S POSITION.

the JUST A MCNUTE. PROPHECY. It was a Pleasant day in June, And great was the convention— The sun was riding high at noon, And the land was all attention. “Alabama!” called the olerk, And the office crowd went daft When a U. 8S. Marshal showed his head Out in the seething mass and said, “Count twenty-twe for Taft!”’ The Cannon men turn pale as ghosis, And the Hughes men gasped for breath— The men for Fairbanks hung to posts As colorless as death. “Arkansas!”’ the clerk exclaimed, And the hall shook fore and aft When a spry postmaster, white of hair, Hopped to the main deck of his chair, And cried, ‘‘Eighteen for Taft!’ The Fairbanks men exuded groans, And the Cannon men shed tears— And the Hughes men uttered none but moans That once had uttered cheers. “Calhifornia!’’* boomed the clerk, And the whole convention laughed When a revenue collector rose, And shrilly whistled threugh his nose, ‘‘Count twenty more for Taft!” The Hughes men looked at the Cannon mea, And the Fairbanks men, from pray’rs And grieving, joined the others when They pulled their Teddy Bears. And they all rushed up on the platform high, As men: who had made ready— And when the din and the tumult died, And the dust had settled some inside, The candidate was Teddy. A RESERVATION FOR GYPSIES. We have so many problems that one is almost ashamed to mention another. Our reformers are al! working overtime, and the necessity of bringing up only that which is imperative is being urged all along the line. Still, 1 have thought of this, and if I should wait until it is convenient to speak of it, the idea would probably die with me. It is conceit, of course, to suppose that even brighter minds will not occur after us; but an idea in hand is worth two in posterity. The gypsies in the United States should have a res- ervation. No one knows how many of them we have (the Census Bureau never counts persons passing at the time), but they are probably many thousands. A shrewd guess is that we have about 10,000 horse traders, about 15,000 fortune tellers, and some 15,000 gypettes, or young gyps. This equals the aggregate population of our three principal reservation tribes—the Navajo, Sioux and Puebio. If these 100,000 Indians ran at large, horse trading and fortune telling, they would occasion about as much happiness ag we derive from the wandering of our 100,00 gypsies. We would have Indian camps all over the country, Indian caravans on the highways, Indian women pestering everyone to have his or her fortune told, and Indian horse traders going about everywhere offering an Oatskin for a bigh-stepper. This would be intolerable: but \ tet the gypsies do it. Presumably, the Indian cannot do it, becauge he was born here, and the gypsy can do It because he wasn't born here. The Indian is a patient worm, but he will turn on us in this matter some day— perhaps at a time when reservation land is not so plentiful as it Is today. However, as I said, we have so many problems that one is almost ashamed to mention anether. —— ne A HARSH CONDITION. Marsh: What did her father say? Mallow: He refused me. Marsh: Outright?

——————— | FLORENCE, Italy. Feb. 22.—Impresario | s came here from London to engage the former Crown Princess of Saxony for a tour in America, 1 ak brought a letter of introduction from M.

As scon as he got out of the carriage and the garden of the villa a beautiful little babe, dark curly hair ran up to him, and. seeing a strau put a finger in her mouth. “Who are you, you little dear?” asked the presario in Italian. ‘Monica,’ she answered and ran away. Mr. Caspar had to be content to talk with | Toselli for a long time before the lady he w to entered the drawing room.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.—A story typical of St. Petersburg life is going the rounds of the newspa- pers. The hero of it is Grand Duke Viadimir, the heroine an actress in the Imperial Theater, well known for her beauty and extravagant habits. Wishing to make the actress a present, the Grand Duke said so, and she told him about a very hand- some diamond in a -well-known jeweler’s window. Promising to get it, he left. He went to the jeweler, asked the price of the jewel, and when he heard that it was $10,000, he of- fered $7000. To the actress he wrote the price, saying that under no circumstances would he give more than $7000 for it. The actress went to the jeweler and told him to let the Grand Duke have it for $7000 and she would pay the’difference. So the jeweler wrote to the Grand Duke that he would take hig offer. Eagerly the Grand Duke possessed himself of the jewel and paid the $7000. In a day or two the actress paid her $3000 and went home to walt for the Grand Duke and the diamond. He never came. A week or two after the actress was on the stage and saw her loveliest rival in one of the boxes with a magnificent set of diamonds in a setting which she recognized. She managed to see the rival in the course of the evening and her sus- picions were confirmed. Fickle beyond measure, knowing nothing of the sacrifice made by the actress, the Grand Duke had changed his mind and had given toe jewelry to an- other. : The actress is now meditating how best to get back her $3000, but sees no way. St. Petersburg is vastly amused. It always igs amused at such little stories about the grand dukes. ee ee LUCKY. LONDON HAS NO STRAPHANGERS’ LEAGUE , LONDON.

DUBLIN, lreland, Feb. 22.—Many English fashion- ables, both_in the nobility and out of it, come here each year to enjoy the gayeties of the Castle sea- son, which begins this week and will last until Bt. Patrick’s Day. But this year the court of the Vice- roy, the Ear! of Aberdeen, is rigorously boycotted, not only by the English, but by the irish aristocracy, and the season threatens to be a flat failure. There is only one reason for this, of course—the scandal sur greene the theft of the crown jewels from Dublin Castle. No one wishes to enter the punk atniosphere that made such a theft possible and which befogs it now. The newest development of the scandal—and few details are known, by the dis- gusted King’s order they are kept secret—is the dis- missal of Sir Arthur Vicars. who was custodian of the jew He is accused only of negligence in per- mitting the regalia to be stolen and his friends loudly declare that he is a man in every sense of the word, and is being made the scapegoat.

THUNDERER’S NEW RULER LONDON, Feb. 22.—Mrs. C. Arthur Pearson has been a clever and energetic second to her husband in both his political and journalistic undertakings. Mr. Chamberlain described Mr. Pearson as ‘the champion hustler,” and Mrs. Pearson has played her own part in pushing along his various ventures. She was married in 1897, is of a Scottish family, is a first- rate whip, can manage a four-in-hand with skill, is a good tennis player, and is proficient in golf. Be- sides that she is a capital hostess and, as her hus- band entertains big parties of interesting people at his country place nearly every week end, she is a busy woman. MRS.

In England wives of public men almost invariably adopt their husbands’ politics, and aid them by entertain- ing. Mrs. Gladstone is pretty and clever, a really gifted musician, and has taken a prominent piace among the Libera] hostesses. Her husband is also musical, has a fine tenor voice and plays golf well.

Mrs. Baring, who was called ‘The New Beauty’”’ from the moment she entered society in New York, was a belle there and costumed as a iudy of the French court. was one of the most charming an striking figures at the famous Bradiey-Martin fancy dress ball. She is a rich brunette beauty with olive- tinted skin and dark eyes. Unlike so many international marriages Mrs. Bar- ing was possessed of moderate means, while her very wealthy husband is one of the celebrated bank- ing firm of Baring Bros. At Biarritz, Mrs. Baring must repeat her success of last vear. King Edward immensely enjoyed her society then and often walked around the golf links with her. For ‘besides having the fine tact which is, perhaps, the highest accomplishment, Mrs. Bar- ing is thoroughly natural, a brilliant talker, with a senee of fun and an innocent gayety which seemed as refreshing to King Edward as the sunshine and air of Biarritz. Harold Baring is himself haif an American. His mother’s father was Robert B. Minturn, a New York merchant. FLAMENG’S PORTRAIT - OF MLLE.

CHILES CITIES Ten Years. Dark Beauties Are Conductors * in Parts of South America.

— YOU MUST WEAR A TIE

Seats on First-Class Cars Re- fused to Those With- out Neckwear. ®

Theodore R. Hilpert of 2825 La fayette avenue is watching the pro- gress of Admiral Evans’ fiect around the South American continent with especial interest because he made «& similar journey last year, with his uncle, Frederick Luytiesa, now of Chi-‘ cago. . Starting from. New York in June, they followed. the route the American battleships have mapped out as far as Panama. Messrs. Hilpert and Luyties were on a pleasure trip, and stopped at a larger number of ports than the Pacific fleet is now doing. They re- turned to St. Louis in October. “We stopped at Callao, where the fleet is now anchored,” Mr. Hilpert ’ gaid yesterday. ‘Callao is the seaport for Lima, the Peruvian capital. An electric line connects the two places, and it is only 20 minutes’ ride. Lima has a population of 140,000, and I was told that 8000 of them were Cath- Olic priests. It is a beautiful city, and churches’ are as numerous there a8 saloons are in St. Louis. There are very few saloons there. There are @ number of Americans in Lima, in- terested in mining. Women Take Your Fare. “We stopped at Talcahuano, Chile, the last port where the American fleet called before Callao. There we found one of Chile's distinctive institutions —the woman street car conductor. “Women are employed exclusively as street’ car conductors in all the cities of Chile, particularly Santiago and Vaiparaiso. “They wear a straw hat and a shawl and an apron with pockets in it. They drop the fare into the apron pockets. All the cars are two stories high, but the women conductors don’t mind climb- ing to get the fares on the second deck. “Tf you are reckless enough to get aboard a first-class car without a collar or necktie, the woman conductor will put you off. You can’t carry a bundle “on these ears, either. These conductors are about the only women you see on the streets of Chile wearing hats. The others all Wear a ‘monto’ er mapntilla, a long piece of drapery that covers their heads and hangs about them. “It struck. me in Chile and other South American countries that men and women had transposed their occu- _ pations. We: saw women on the street corners there selling shirts and collars along with bananas and corn, while iu the hotels men acted as walters and even made the beds. In some small places women were employed as horse car drivers. Death Pictures Printed. “It happened that we were in Chile *on the first anniversary of the earth- quake that wrecked many of the best buildings in her principal cities. San- tiago was draped in mourning that day, all business was suspended, and even ‘the daily newspapers were not printed. Be Instead, an illustraged magazine was is- 4 sued, liberally filled with drawings of ; * ‘Death’ in commemoration of the earth- g ; ae quake. & # “At Rio de Janeiro, on our way down ; antic Coast, we had the pleasure of finding the magnificent building Bra- - gil had at the St. Leuis Werld’'s Fair rebuilt, under the name of the Palacio ' Monroe. | “We were at Kingston, Jamaica, on i a to - " ——s, ape were : a used to find all the ack natives my ere talking English with a _ broad - British accent. They said ‘good awfter- noon’ like Londoners. “In South America barefooted na- ‘the A q au tives carry inyvmense weights in pack- + ages on their heads without the least ’ exertion apparently. I saw a man at ' Santo, Brazil, carrying six large bags of coffee on his head, each bag marked as weighing 150 pounds. I never saw a Louis roustabout try to de such a eat. “Jamaica seems to have the South ‘§ American countries aistanced as a place B= where the women do the work. We saw —. them - earthquake ruins im Kingston. the native men worked, however, driv- building houses and digging up Some of ing cabs. In-all the South American © © countries the cabs are operated by the _) Government, and there is a fixed charge. a service is fine.’ & _ TRAMP NURSES DOG HURT | WHILE CHASING HIM “OFF” ee ‘Then Animal’s Owner Invited Him ~~ jn to Eat a Warm Dinner.

Money Stringency Is Not _ Blamed for Empty Hotels.

PARIS, Feb. 22.~Though most of the hotels in Paris are still partly empty, principally on account of the lack of Americans, it seems as if the financial crisis has not lessened the number of those who have crossed the ocean. The trouble is that instead of coming to Paris they are going south, especially to Egypt. Manager Dalliba of the American Px- press Oo. said to the Post-Dispatch cor respendent: “The shipping business will be about up te the average. Big American firms, like Wanamaker and Marshall Field, have not diminished their trade. So far we do not feel that our trade has been much concerned in the scarcity of money. People are coming over here earlier this year than usual. This means that they are going back earlier so as to participate in the political cam- naign.”’ Consul-General Mason told the Post- Dispatch correspondent that the win- ter has been dull, so far as Americans are concerned, but he thinks things will zoon look up, as the gtgamship lines, the fnfallible thermometer for French trade, show very little falling off in bookings. PANIC HERE KILLED ERZ MOUNTAIN GLOVE TRADE LONDON, Feb. 22.—A Prague dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette says that on account of the financial] situation in: the United States the glove industry in the Erz Mountain district hag been tempo- rarily destroyed. All the factories have shut down and thousands of men, wom- en and girls have been reduced to want. The total output of the kid glove fac- tories in the Erz district has amounted to 12,000,000 dozen pairs yearly, near- ly all destined for the American mar- ket. When the panic came American shopkeepers stopped their orders. Wide- spread distress followed. Hundreds ef working folk are emigrat- ing to Germany from the Erz Moun- tains, that country being one of the poorest and most barren in Central 0 a

Special to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORE, Feb. 22.—That should nat be permitted to get @ivorces, and that the court injunctian ig good for the nation, that the bench should be purged of politics, and that Roosevelt did not originate the “Big Btick,”’ were the features of an address by Justice David J. Brewer at the Friends’ Meeting House here tonight. He said: “The early history of the race at- tesis that the controlling thought was that of might, and who had it as 4n individual, tribe or nation,. exercised it upon each weaker individual, tribe or nation. The ‘Big Stick’ was swung long before Theodore Roosevelt became President. "We find a growing disposition to tie the hands of the judge and restrict ju @icia} action. This ‘s shown by legis- lation, paerticularivy in the Western Siates, forbidding the judge to refer In his charge to the facts, requiring him ‘to instruct in writing, and otherwise limiting the freedom of his action. Power of Judges Kestricted. the effect of it is to turn the judge into-something little better than a moderator of a town meeting, with no efficient voice in the determina- tion of a litigation. ‘It is disclosed by the rich secre! one ““And yet the clamor against . ‘the exercise of the equitable power of ~ injunction. ~ make this a political question, and, Kov- ernment by Effort has been made to injunction has been an ob “ject of easy denunciation. “So far from recovering or restrictMe this power, there never was a time when its unresisted and vigorous exer- _cise was worth more to the nation and for the best interests of all. As popu. lation become more dense, as business Interests multiply and crowd each other, ¥ restraining power of a court of equity is of far greater importance than ‘the punishing power of a court of criminal law. Piverce Suits Without Publicity. “Divorce suits are conducted without publicity. A commissioner is appoint- ed to take testimony which is reported to the Court and upon which the di- yorce is granted, while the testimony and the entire proceedings, except the result are concealed from public view. There are, it is said, unpleasant dis- clostires; there is a skeleton in the fam. ily; public trials bring to light a fear- ful mess of. revolting facts; yellow jour- als are constadtly spreading those im- pure and disgusting details broadcas: - through the land—all should be withb- held from public gaze. “While I regret as much as anyone the part of some protest. “Better no divorces than divorces ob- tained by secret judicial proceedings.

If he will come into court, if he will ask judicial action, let him do #0 only upon the coudition that every- thing is to be open and public. “Purge Bench of Politics.” Purge the bench of politica.

REPORT IS REQUESTED]«

Metcalf Wants the Admiral to Tell Whether Armor Is Defective By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the DPoat-Dispatch., WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Secretary of the Navy Metcalf has sent a tele- gram to Admiral Evans, asking him if it is true that the armor belts of sev- eral of his vessels are awash. ‘‘Awash,"’ In sea language, means below the line. This is made by Henry eritics of naval publications. In his telegram the Secretary says that the information is given to him by Commander W. S. Sims of the Navy. Commander Sims is naval aid to the President, and is also in charge of tar- get practice. He is one of the men sus- pected of giving information to critics of the navy and ts one of the officers to whom the Secretary wrote four days ago, asking if they had been giving information, Might Have Said “Awash.” Asked tonight if he had given facts on which the secretary's telegram to Evans was based, commander said: “IT do not know anything about the telegram, except what has told After I received the Secretary's had a long talk with him. I did not mention Admiral Evans’ name, but the talk was 80 ex- tensive that I cannot say that I did not .mention the fact, or at least make the statement, that the armor belt of some of the ships is awash. 1 have not made any confession of having given information to outside the service, but I will say and I had a very frank I have not to the Sec- water charges other recent one of the gravest Reuterdah! and construction in the been to me. letter I know that I persons that the Secretary thorough talk. formal reply and a very vet made my retary's leiter. “Another point: I Was that if it was not true was ‘called for giving away naval se- crets I went to the President and he said I should pay no atention to it. I have made no statement of that kind not do so. It is absurd to I would talk that way about There is nothing in asked today that when I think that the President. that.”’ Secretary Objects to “Shut-tUp.” It is known that Commander Sims had a two-hour conference with the of the Navy and that in the the conversation the Secre- expressed the opinion that regu- lations shutting the mouths of officers is entirely beyond reason and that he will recomend that they be mogified. It is not expected in the Navy De- partment or in naval circles that any courtmartial will result from the in- quiry, but rather that the faults com- plained of will be corrected.

RIVAL CAUS&

Some Invitations to One Were Delayed and Then Trou- ble Began. Since Valentine's been divided two rival leap vear parties en St. night, Alton seciety has alphabetically into two warring factions. The A-to-G’'s and T-to-Z's are the women whose jnvita- tions to the Colonial girls leap year par- ty were not mailed until one day later than the The unmarried men are availing them- selves of a glorious independence,. bu: the rest of the men, with one known ex ception, have allied themselvs loyally with their wives. All the men ar: much sought and pleased. The meeting of the Colonial girls, which was held at the home of Mrs John Haskell Feb. 7, was unsatisfactory in that there was more talk than work. The result was that only half of the in- vitations were mailed. An adjourned meeting was called for the following day for the purpose of sending out the res! of the invitations, but by that time tn- surrection had brewed. Alton newspa- pers had announced that the Colonial girls’ invitations were out. “Were you invited?’ a:C girl asked a W girl. “No,” hissed the W girl. “Let's give one of our own and tell them to go run around the bldck.’”’ Rival Ball Is Planned, So a meeting was held the next after- the home of Mrs. H. I. Fer- The revolters were not to be de- terred by the fact that their invitations arrived in the meantime. They said that the horrid things had learned of the proposed opposition party and feare1! the consequences. It was decided by the T-to-Z faction that they party in the Elks Hall on the same night as the other party in Hotel Mad- ison. It was also decided that they would secure all the favorite men for their own function. They resolved that they would show the Colonial girls if they could slight them with impunity. The A-to-G's and T-to-Z's sent regrets to the Colonial girls’ party H-to-S Girls Declare War. The H-to-S’s resented this action and declared war. Thev also said that they would secure all of the nicest men for their own party. The nicest men’s mails reached unbelievable proportions the next morning. The nicest men's phones jingled ceaselessly. The contention over one man the married species—resulited in trouble and barring both him and his wife from participating in either party. The man wanted to go to one party and his wife wanted him to with her to the other So they compromised and staved home. It is a matter of debate as to which party was most successful. Since Valen- tine's day a coolness has existed_in Al- ton’s select circles. Some of the ladies refuse to speak to members of the other clique. The. men only are perfectly happy. Rumors are afoot that the factions are planning a regular leap year campaign against each other. rest. of noon at guson.

Bald, who says he has transferred his affections to Miss Alwina Waeltz, daughtor of a wealthy farmer}living six miles west of Marissa, declares he will fight the sult. He says he did not prom- ise to marry Miss Whittington, but only “promised to propose’’ to her. Legal students at Helleville, where the suit was filed, are studying the fine dis- tinction between a question that is popped and one that is still in the bud. Says She Went Away. Bald says that when he built his hand- gome six-room cottage, and added the tower and the reception hal! in accord- ance with Miss Whittington’s sugges- tion, he thought she was the only girl in the world and that he would have married her had she not thwarted the whirlwind finish of courtship by going away from him and remaining away just when he was getting up his courage to ask her to be his forever. In his case absence did not make the heart grow fonder. “After she went to her sister last June I wrote her many letters asking her .o return,” said Mr. Bald. “She promised to come back in Spgust, but she did not. “When vou've got a girl, have her where you can You ean't *h by letter some write thirgs better than they them, but I'm not that way.

AUGUSTA, Maine, Feb. 2.—Comman- der R. BE. Peary of Washington, the arctic explorer, was today notified that some of his esquimaux dogs have es- caped from an island in Casco Bay and are running at large in the State, kill- ing deer and other game. Leroy T. Carleton, chairman of the Main Fish and Game Commission, stated that frequent reports have been received this winter of wolves seen in the older settled portions of the State. This morning he learned of the presence of the Esquimaux dogs, and naturally he thinks the mystery of the wolves has been solved.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—Declaring his belief ir, the power of the Christian hyp- hypo- faith working in connection with notic suggestion to cure. hysteria, chondria, neurasthenia, alcoholism, in- soninia, religious melancholy and sui- cidal impulses, the Rev. Dr. Robert Mac- Donald, pastor of the Washington Ave- aptist Church, Brooklyn, told his congregation he would introduce the spiritual healing movement in Brooklyn if he found a demand for it. “Dr. Worcester and his assistant, the Rev. Dr. McComb, conceived the idea a few years ago of making faith do servy- ice in the entire physical and physio- logical realm,” Dr. MacDonald _ said. “They believe there is an intimate and powerful relation between the psychic and physical parts of humanity. It is not wise, they contend, to say this part is for the priest to prescribe for because {tt is psychic, and. that part for the physician because it is phy¥eical. They celieve a healthful mind, if the man be willing to let the spiritual health do further service, may allow that heaJth to become a curative force for his entire deranged system. “The object of the Emmanuel move- ment is to restore to the cnurch its bod- ily healing powers. Dr. Worcester and Dr. McComb have succeeded*in bringing Into prominence the latest remedial powers of personality and have - used hitherto unrecognized psychic laws. “Their methods of curing mental diz- orders is simple. The patient confesses whatever sins or follies may have been the cause of his present mental condi- tion. Then, through hypnotic influence and healthful suggestion, Dr. Worces- ter seeks to replace the emotions of fear, anger and worry with the Chris- tian sentiments of love, joy and nue In The Grip The Best Cathartic Reduces to a Min- imum the Prostration and Weak- ness Characteristic of This Prevalent Disease.

A great outery bas arisen during the last few years against scientists who torture dumb animals: alive in the in- terests of science. How many people are there. however, who needlessly tor- ture themselves by causing their stom- achs to overwork. Dyspepsia, indiges- iion, heartburn, sleeplessness, loss of vim and energy are the inevitable re- sults. Are you one of these? W hy not give vour stomacif a rest? Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will re- lieve vour stomach of all its work and do jt tor you. They are compounded of the very elements and do the work which the stomach performs when in rarma! health, aseptic pepsin, malt diestase and like ingredients. Dr. Richardson in writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion, eloses his remarks by saving, “For those suffering from acid dyspepsia. chown by sour, watery risings, or for flatulent dysnepsia shown by gas on stomach, eausing heart trouble and dif- fienlt breathing. #8 well a8 for all other forms of stomath trouble, the safest treatment is to take one or two of Stuert’s Dvspepsia Tablets after each meal. I advise them because they con- tain no harmful drugs. but are com- posed of Valuable divestives, which ac nromptly upon the food eaten, T never knew a case of indigestion or even ehronic dyspepsia which Stuart’s Tab- lete wonld not reach.” Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dvapepsia and indigestion ean have no effect whatever in actively di epating the food. and to. call any ¢a- thartie medicine a cure for indigestion ‘a 2 wnisnomer. Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dpspepsia Tablets, and they are not only the dafest and most successful but the most arientific of any treatr nt for indiges- tien and stomech troubles, Price SNe # box at all d s.

AXING’ POLITICAL ACTIVITY STARTS NATIONAL IG ae Democrats Use His Case for Criticism of Federal Offi- cers Generally. ) By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The res- olution of inquiry regarding Subtreas- urer Akins of St. Louis which was in- troduced in the House of Representa- tives this week is to be the means of bringing into discussion on the floor of.Congress the whole question of the political activity of Federal office holders in Missouri. It affords an opportunity to the Democrats for ‘calling’ President Roosevelt’s frequent declaration that Federal appointees must keep their hands off politics. The condition in Missouri will be described in detail to show the contrast between the President's words and the facts. Makes Campaign Material. Missouri Congressmen see in this a fine lot of material for campaign use and they are taking an active inter- est in the Akins resolution, This resolution is now before the Committee on Ways and Means which has until Monday to act upon it under the rules. Then if !t is not reported it can be called up for consideration and the political fun will begin. The full story of Postmasters’ act- ivity in the recent convéntions which instructed delegates for Secretary Taft will be laid before the House and then taken back home as campaign material for use against the Republic- ans. Bleebaum I« Involved. Next to Subtreasurer Akins himself, | Postmaster Bloebaum of St. Charles will get a star part in this recital. It is charged against him that while Postmaster he spent his time conduct- ing a publicity bureau in St. Louis for the Republican State Committee. Like Mr. Akins he was unfortunate in that money was stolen from his office and a clerk was indicted. The long list of Postmasters who participated in the West Plains’ con- vention and the office holders’ act- ivity at Lancastcr in the First District will also be used as argument to prove that the President's appointees haven’t been devoting all their time to the Government's business. Scope of Inquiry Widens. Efforts are now being made also te learn the extent of the activity of the Postmasters In St. Joseph, Spring- field, Rolla, Joplin and other large towns on behalf of the Roosevelt can- didate for President. The men who are trying to push consideration of the Akins’ resolution insist that their only reason is to get all the facts of the Subtreasury shortage in justice both to Mr. Akins and the Government, but they do not deny that incidentally the result of the discussion may be helpful to the Missouri Democrats. They say they are not to blame for the conditions and anyway they are Democrats. READS SHE HAS BEEN JILTED ELKHART, Ind., Feb. 22.—When Miss Hallie Davenport of this town saw in a newspaper that Ebenezer Maning, her fiance, had taken out a license in Chi- cago to marry Mattie Davenport, her cousin, she fainted. The publication in a newspaper of the issue of the license was the first inti- mation she had that she was not su- preme in the heart of the young man. The jilted girl is the daughter of the late B. F. Davenport, one of the found- ers of the town and president of the First National Bank. SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA. Itching, Burning ‘Skin Diseases Routed Without Use of Injurious Drugs. Great inventors often have been praised for surrendering the secrets of their discoveries, Practically the same thing happened in the medical world in the ease of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of Chicago, © Dr. Dennis, in his own office practice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was practically a sure specific for Kezema, psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum, and other itching skin diseases. But the oil of wintergreen alone was found ineffective. It re- quired other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the wintergreen, to produce the real eczema cure, This compounded D. D. D. Preserip- tion positively takes away the itch at once—the instant it is applied to the skin. This vegetable liquid does away with deleterious drugs so long used ‘in an attempt to doctor the blood, where- as modern science has determined that eczema is first and all the time a skin disease.

The meeting of the Republican State Convention Thursday to elect four dele- gates-at-large and. alternates to. the Chicago Convention, presidential elec- tors and a new national committeeman, will be: of minor importance as com.- pared with the Howe trial. A subcom- mittee of five members of the Repub- lican State Committee will have a hear- ing on’ the charges in the Wright Building at 10 a. m. Tuesday. Ouster Is Expected. This committee will report its findings to the Republican State Committee which will hold a special meeting Wed- nesday. If Howe is thrown out of the committee, as it is anticipated that he will be, he says he will carry the fight to the floor of the. State Convention, and there make sensational charges against Niedringhaus. The defeat of Niedringhaus tin his own ward, the Twenty-first, at the Re- publican primaries Thursday was a se- vere setback to the ex-chairman. Howe will control a big majority of the St. Louis delegates to the State conven- tion, and they will vote against Nied- ringhaus for National Committeeman, and will also vote against unseating Howe as chairman of the City Commit- tee if the fight is carried to the con- vention. Evidence Gathered. Niedringhaus and _ his friends have been actively at work gathering evi- dence against Howe. Nothing in his public or private life will be overlooked. The specific charges against him are that he bolted John ... Talty for Mayor in 199%, Fred W. Klusmeyer for State Senator, Louis P. Aloe for Collector, and the Republican House of Delegates ticket last spring. Howe sald et the Eleventh Congressional Convention that he was not gotnmg to back down an Inch, but would tell the State Committee why he voted against these mén and why he denounced the House of. Delegates tick- et as the worst ever nominated. He says he has. not asked any mem- bers of the State Committee to favor him in the controversy, has not asked for any proxies and “Goes not care what the committe® @ves, Ex-Judge William ZachritZ has been taking testi- mony in behalf of Niedringhaus and against Howe for several weeks, and what he has obtained will be presented to the subcommittee. If Howe is ousted I. Joel Wilson of the Twénty-seventh Ward will be elected to fill the vaéancy. Taft Men in Control.

He holds the pe@bitical hoops in his hand and Niedringhati#’” and Chairman Dickey: leap through them. McCoy started Dickey out to oppose Taft. Dickey had scarealy gone to work on his plan when’ he ran UP against a bugz-saw in. Kansas city and had to get in line for the War Secre- tary. McCoy continued to work : Taft while his chairman In Kansas City was working for him. Matters got into such a tangle that McCoy had to a. into the Taft bandwagon to save Dickey from being placed in an utterly ridicu- lous position. As Dickey is a very rich man and wanted McCoy to head the State Committee so that he could get Big campaign contributions from the National Committee, MeCoy finally consented to let Dickey line up for Tat, and then joined’ the Taft procession District as against ee rg oe ee ate, himself. : scala Ie mittee of St. Louis, on charges of par- | MEMBERS REFUSE ) AID COWHER Governor’s. Friends Favor Evans, Who Is Backed by Fort and Others. HAWES AS A LOBBYIST Legislator Recalls That Folk’s Foe Appeared Against Bill to Tax Beer. The most conspicuous incident of the recent Democratic State Committec meeting at Jefferson City was the per- emptory refusal of the leaders friendly to Gov. Folk to endorse, either private- ly or publicly, the gubernatorial candi- dacy of former Congressman W. 5S. Cowherd of Kansas City. No concealment was made of the fact that the Folk organization desires a new candidate in the field for Governor, and is willing to concentrate its efforts on Judge W. H. Evans, chairman of the State Committee. Judge Evans made it clear that he would not run unless Judge Fort, Col. Ball and Representative Whitecotton, all of whom are more or less friendly to the Folk interest, would withdraw from the race. But these men say they are not going to quit, hence the Folk hope has gone gli.umering for the time being. Outgeneraled by Opposition. Although the Folk men claimed con- trol] of a majority of the State mittee, when they came to count nosey on the proposition to indorse the State administration, as a companion move to the compliment paid to William J. Brvan, they discovered the opposition had outnumbered and outgeneraled them. . Gov. Folk’s supporters did not lik? the Bryan resolution particularly, neither did they show any hostility te it. Mr, Cowherd was busy among the committeemen and he got lots of en- couragement from Virgil Conkling and other old Democratic wheel horses, but the Folk men treated the Kansas City aspirant with coolness and reserve. Representative White- cotton remarked to a group of poli- ticilans that he thought Cowherd looked lonesome. There was a disposition among the country members to criticise Mr. Cow- herd because of $his reputed alliance in St. Louis with Harry B. Hawes, who is openly opposed to Gov.

ATTORNEY IS IGNORED Right to Sell Actuaries Is ‘the ‘Cause of Difference of Opinion. 99 ae. CITY, Mo., Feb. State Insurance Superintendent Vandi- ver, in an order issued today, criti- cized Attorney General Hadley for rec- ommendations made to his office in an opinion asked by Mr. Vandiver, on legal questions involved in the business of the Great Western Life Insurance Co. of Kansas City. “As far as consistent with a proper sense of official responsibility,” says Mr. Vandiver's order, ‘‘the Superintend- ent of Insurance desires to conform to the recommendations as well as the opinion of the Attorney General. If this ruling differs in some points from the recommendations, it will be observed that the difference is mainly one of gen- eral policy and judgment as to what is a safe course to pursue.”’ Refuses Increase of Stock. Mr. Vandiver then proceeds to dis- regard the Attorney-General’s opin- ion, and refuses to permit the Great Western to increase its capital stock from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The Attorney-General held that the section of the law requiring the com- pany to give notice of such increase for 60 days by publication had been met by filing of waivers of such no- tice by all the stock-holders and that was the only question under which the increase cou'd be refused. Mr. Vandiver's order states he is “not satisfied that the condition and assets of the company justify the in- crease,” and insists that he cannot be compelled to give permission for the increase until he is so satisfied. Recommends Change of Control. The stock of the Great Western is owned by the Great Western Agency Co., a Colorado corporation. The At- torney-General holds that such own- ership of insurance company atock by an agency company is not authorized by law, and recommends that the company be given a reasonable time in which to change the stock owner- ship to individuals. Mr. Vandiver’s order gives 30 days for such a change. The company has sold annuity cert!- ficates to the amount of $278,250, the holder of each $150 certificate being guaranteed §& per cent interest the first year, and a proportionate share in a fund to be derived from 25 cents on each $10,000 of insurance sold or renewed each year for 50 vears. Trouble Over Annuities. The Insurance Superintendent has charged that the certificates will be too great a drain on the company and will, with its other liabilities, make the com- pany insolvent. The dssuance of these certificates was discontinued several months ago by or- der of Superintendent. Mr. Hadley holds in his opinion that the company has the right to sell annuities, but that there is a question whether these certificates are in reaKty annuities. He holds, however, that this makes little difference, as their sale has been discontinued, and that the fact that some had been sold would not justify action against the company. eed JEFFERSON The Post-Dispatch is the only evening newspaper in St Louis that receives or p blishes nev’s gathered by the Associ- ated Press.

UPHOLDS HIS POLICIES “Vm Pledged to Taft, but if Cannon Is Nominated I'll Work,” He Says. Special to the Post-Dispatch, PEORIA, IIL, Feb. 22.—President Roosevelt was pictured as a true “‘con- servative’ and his policies were vigor- ously defended in a speech by Congress- man Nicholas Longworth, one of the guests of honor at the Washington's Birthday banquet given by the Creve Coeur Club tonight. Mr. Longworth responded to the toast “1908... He began his speech with a compliment to Speaker Cannon. ‘Flere on the soil of his own State,” said Mr. Longworth, among the peo- ple that rightly honor him, i would ill become me to advocate the claims of any other man in this country for the’ office of President of the United States; and if I be, as I am, pledged to the cause of another, it is not because I do not believe that your favorite, Joseph G. Cannon, fully measures up /to the stature of a president. “It is because the man to whom my allegiance is pledged, the man whom I! regard as supremely qualified for the highest place in the gift of the people, is a son of Ohio, a resident of my own congressional district and my lifelong friend. If circumstances should be such that Mr. cannon should be the choice of the. Republicans as their can- didate for Presijent there will be no one who will put his shouider to the wheel mor ardently and enthusiasticallv than .” Defends Roosevelt. The dawn of 1%8, Mr. Longworth said, was not propitious, at least from the standpoint of general business prosper- ity; it was not as propitious as that of 1907. ‘‘I do not believe,”” he said, “that the vast majority of American citizens, the men who do the country’s work and re- vere our institutions, believe or ever could be brought to believe that our present financial distress is due to any other conditions than those which were bound to occur and which periodically have occurred, not only in this country, but throughout the world in the ordi- nary course of human events. The pres- ent financial distress is not only pe- culiar to the United States, but it is worldwide. “The President had no more to do with the recent New York panic than he had with the last eruption of Mount Vesuvius. I will not! say that some of his utterances, some of the investiga- tions that he caused to be made into the methods of some of the so-called high financiers, may not have hastened by a hittle the time at which some of the ‘financial structures erected upon foundations of rottenness and dishonesty were bound to topple; but I do say that if he had sat supinely and allowed dis- honesty to proceed without raising his hand, the cfash would have been long delayed; and when it came it would have been followed by a hurricane com- pared to which the present condition is as a zephyr. The Two Causes, “There are two causes, and two causes alone, which have contributed to the conditions which at present con- front us. The first is a condition of world-wide extetence, where the credit of the nations has been stretched to the breaking point; the second a condition peculiar to this country which the Presi- dent helped to bring to light, but for the existence of which he Was no more re- sponsible than he was for the Indian plague—a condition which disclosed to the amazed and angry eyes of the Amer- ican people that some of the great cor- porations that existed by theim suffer- ance and supposedly for their benefit were being managed upon a system of brigandage, which to use the expression of a constituent of mine, ‘Would make Jesse James look like a piker.’ “Some of the calumniators of the President have said that he has at- tacked all American corporations and all American business men. When and where has he ever done so? I challenge any one to point out in any speech that he has ever made, in any message that he has ever sent to Congress, a single word or a single sentence which can be by any possibility construed as an at- tack upon individual, however wealthy, or corporation, however great, provided only that the wealth was acquired honestly and that the cor- poration was managed decently. Sanity and Conservatism. “They say he is not sane and con- servative. If sanity, according to their definition. consists in upholding brigan- poem then I hope that fs not sane” If conservatism consists in allowing dis- honesty to run rampant in the man- agement of certain great croporations, then I am glad that, according to that definition, he is not conservative, “The President’s course has required, not true conservatism and = foresight alone, but resolute courage, for it has meant an attack upon the Interests of some of the most powerful men tn the country, and it would have nN easier for a man jess truly conservative than he to have failed to have turned on the ieht: or, having done 80, to have vielded to the storm which the turning on of the light aroused.

Daniel FE. Naughton, Assistant Clerk of the House of Delegates, will go to trial tomorrow in Judge Fisher's court on an indictment charging him with be- ing an eccessory after the fact to the bribery of Delegates Priesmeyer and Warner. It has been reported that Naughton’s counsel would ask for a change of venue, but former Judge Hiram -Moore said last night that the defense would be ready for trial. Nine members of the House have been subpenaed as witnesses. The gist of the charge against Naughton is that he received $500 alleged to have been paid as a bribe to. Delegate Priesmeyer at the direction of Delegate Warner, and attempted to conceal it from the State to shield the principals. The cases of Priesmeyer and Warner, who are now under indictment for brib- ery, have not been set for trial, but they will be docketed after the Naugh- ton case is disposed of.

Harmony in the ranks of East St. Louls Democrats was severely jolted at the convention of the State Feder- ation of Bryan Clubs et Springfield Friday when James H. Donotue of East St. Louis objected to the East St. Louis Democratic Club being re- corded as a Bryan organization. W. A. Moody, representative of the East St. Louis Bran Club, was seated as a delegute. Mayor Cook visited Springfield as representative of the East St Louis Democratic Club and the club was considered a member of the Federa- tion until Donohue made the objec- tion tnat the club had failed to pass a resolution endorsing Bryan for Presi- dent. Two months ago F. Cc. Smith, J. J. Kane. W. A. Hockaday and other Democrats formed the East St. Louis Democratic Club.

When the members came to sign the charter roll in bunches, the organizers were surprised, but they were more surprised at the meeting when the new faction eame in larger bunches, took possession of the organization, voted out the temporary officers, and elected themselves to the offices. Mr. Donohue was one of the new mem- bers. 4 The original crowd bided their time and prepared a resolution endorsing Bryan for President. Seven of the original crowd then held a meeting fn fr. C.

The A Willing Friend as Well as a Successful Healer PARIS, France—There seems to be no end to the most wonderful feats that are now taking place in the City of Paris. In a most mysterious man- ner, in an incom rehensible way, the sick are being relieved and many are almost instantly cured. To explain these modern miracles now being wrought is impossible, yet believe in them we must; for the facts are there before the eyes of all. Professor Franklin some time ago founded an institute in the great City of Paris with the object of helping his fellowmen, and giving them the benefit of a discovery he had made. He called it the Institut Medical Parisien. ‘To this institute the sick and afflicted of all kinds soon flocked and there looked for relief and cure. Not many of those «ho came every day were disappointed very few returned home without be- ing helped, and thus the fame of this great man began to spread. The raise was carried from house to house y the many that were cured every day. The marvelous almost incredible reaults that were attained made Pro- fessor Franklin famous, and now the Institut Medical Parisien swarms daily with the afflicted that come from everywhere. From every part of France the afflicted are being brought to the Institut Medical Parisien, and there are healed by this wonder- worker.

But Czar relies the Bishop London, the Right Arthur Foley Wuinnington-Ing- toe elevate the Czarina at once ually, mentally and physically. Everybody at court that the nervous condit continues the gravest fears, not for her physical but for her mental health. Hier Majesty, whose cheerful disposition as well as her exquisite fig- ure Were celebrated all over Europe, is worn to the shadow of what she was as Princess Alix of Hesse. She has no appetite, she is a prey to melancholia, she absolutely refuses to seek the change of scene whieh her physicians order as imperatively necessary. Blamed Self for National Ills. Very recently the Czarina developed the ilusion that Russia's misfortunes, the defeat by the Japanese, the inter- nal turmoil, are caused by her own change of religion from Wutheranism to the faith of the Orthodox Greek Chureh. It is notorious that she was converted reluctantly, that she might marry the Czar, and has always re- gretted it. Now she is convinced that the church into which she was born is punishing Russia for her desertion of It. The Czar, who dearly loves his’ wife, tried to induce a _ prominent. German Lutheran divine to come here and as- sure. the Czarina that the Lutheran Chureh teaches gentleness, forgiveness, not malice and vengefulness, and so bears no resentment toward her. But the German Lutheran authorities would not countenance such a plan, even to save the Czarina’s mind or her life. Most opportunely, the Bishop of Lon- don, whose plety and simplicity so strongly impressed the Americans, ar- rived here to vis't the Anglican clergy- man stationed in Russia. The Czar seized on the Bishop's presence and urged him to use soothing influence on the Czarina and to try to cahn her re- ligious perturbation. Bishop Hopes for Best. The Czarina, who has refused to see members of her own family, received Dr. Winnington-Ingram. Plainly the good Bishop was much shocked by the Czarina’s condition, but he said he hoped he had d'sabused her mind of some phantasms about religion and had induced her to yield to the Czar’s supplications and go to the south of. Europe or to the Isle of Wight. The Czar suffers the extremest anxiety for her. but so weak and vacillating is he that he cannot exert any real au- thority over his wife. The Bishop of London has gone to Moscow to see the Czarina’s sister, the widow of Grand Duke Sergius, and a forceful woman, who, in her turn, will urge the Czarina to go abroad and prob- ably will accompany her.

ATARRH of the respiratory or- \ , gans is a’ common ailment in Canada for at least two-thirds of the year. This condition is no doubt caused by the long, severe winters experi- enced in this part of the continent. Therefore, when Peruna was dis- covered by Canadian people to be a reliable remedy for these catarrhal! diseases, it at once became a popular medicine, not only among individuals and in families, but in the great hos- pitals, where it was used as a pre- ventive and relief in hundreds of cases. ¥ These institutions do not hesitate to gwive their endorsement of the rem- edy which has been so helpful in the treatment of their poor and sick. Among these institutions is that of the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave the following endorsement: The Peruna Company, Columbus, Ohto. Having used Peruna for the past few months, for our sick and poor, we are happy to say that it has given us great satisfaction, The Sisters of the Good Shepherd, August 20, 1903. . Montreal. After a continued use of the rem- edy, this institution has found no reason to change its good opinion of the remedy and expresses its satis-

faction in the following terms: Montreal, Nov. 7, 1903. We found Peruna a relief in several cases. We can say, it is a good tonic and we are very thankful. Sisters of the Good Shepherd. When catarrh once fastens itself upon the system it becomes an obsti- nate disease to eradicate. A systemic remedy—one reaches every internal organ body—is an absolute necessity. Peruna ts just such a remedy. It searches out the cause of the disease, healing and strengthening the mucous mem arene and thus giving Nature an opportunity to perform her part of the ‘restorative process One of the many hospitals which have found Peruna of value in treat- ing old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John, who write as follows: “We are happy to tell you that your Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three patients have tried it, one 68 years old, Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is much relieved, more than he has been for a number of years. “A young girl, 15 years old, had an obstinate cough, which half a bottle of Peruna caused to disappear. “As to myself, two bottles have convinced me that Peruna is magnifi- cent as a tonic. “Before the treatment I could not walk for a quarter of an hour with- that of the

The postman delivered a box at the Van -Meter home Feb. 14. Ella, who its 17 years old, was at the door when the box was delivered. With her were three of her sisters and brothers. They insisted that the package be opened and the contents divided. Among the children was little Ruth. The boys were each given a piece. Ruth; the Baby, took a fist full and began to eat.

Ten minutes later the other children- heard her scream, and Ella rushed to her sige to find her in convul- sions.

It was al- most lifeless when found, and Mrs. Morasch was fined $100, but was later released on account of her children. According. to County Attorney Tag- mart, Mrs. Morasch, or Miller, had a Hier firat husband, Morasch, left her with four girls. After the death of her first husband, she married Albert Miller, who was the brother of the stepfather of Ella Vanmeier. Sues for Husband's Death. Miller cied of drink, and his wife sued the city of Kansas City for damages aceruine from his death, charging that if it had not permitted liquor selling joints to run he would not have got drunk and eo killed himse'f. It was three months ago that her hus- band died, and soon after she got the ehild from the baby farm. One day Ella Vanmeter called, and Mrs. Morasch cailed her to show her a young baby. The little girl looked at the baby and then ren home to tell her mother. Mrs, Miller took the baby in her arms and asked when ft had been born. The reply was that it was only a day or two old, Family Feud Started, “This baby Is at least eight davs old,’ eaid Mrs. Charlies Miller and left the house. That started a feud between the families Mrs. Morasch was advised to town, and Was preparing to do so. The day following her last Interview With the County Attorney the fatal box of candy was received by Ella Van- meter, : R The police Imemdiately began an tn- vestigation, There were tWo spect- over leave .. omens of writing on the wrapper that the box.of candy, YOUTH WHO REJEC1S FORTUNE RATHER THAN ASK FORGIVENESS ~ / LOYAL SMITH \ Kansas City, Cheyenne was ‘634 Cheyenne avenue, Kansas, corner Packard and avenues.”’ Above it, {In another and coarser writ- ing, was the name “Ella Vanmeter.” and at the bottom “‘From 8. 8S. Girls.’ Both the letters S were reversed. The postmark was traced after all other clews failed. It was ascertained that on the day in question something had been wrong with the automatic stamping machine and one of the old- fashioned stamps had been used to cancel the stamps. It was identified as a Missouri side of the river pack- age and Mrs. Morasch was there. Girl Writes Own Address. The County Attorney then learned that Ella Vanfneter had written out or a piece of paper for Mrs. Morascli the Cheyenne avenue address. : The morning following the publication of the news of the murder and the fa-- simile of the writing on the candy box, Mrs. Morasch and her daughter disap- peared. Several days elapsed and a re- ward was offered, while the police of all the surrounding cities were warned to watch for Mrs. Morasch and arrest her. Thursday, Feb. 20, Blanche Morasc. walked into the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary Gillan, 316 Armstrong avenue, Kansas City.. Kan.

Mrs. Morasch got a position at a farm and Blanche came back to the city. * On the day of the funeral a note pts received at the home of *harles Mfiler, “Old Vanmeter told meen years ugo my daughter should never work for Charles Miller “Am in Armer Dail. He Signed ‘‘No name.” The words in the not were dictated to Mrs. Morasch and she wrote them again with all their peculiarities and twists of letters. She was asked to Armourdale and she wrote “Armer Daile.” The letters in all the words were identical, even to the habit of writing the capital letter S re- versed, as on the address of the candy box. Motive Sunday. which said: is the man.” write the word is found in the fact that Mrs. Morasch believed that Ella and her mother, Mrs. Charles Miller, had been instrumental! in bringing the at- tention of the police to the child she had received from the baby farm. Mrs. Morasch is about 40 years old, spare, sallow-faced and with a shock of thick black hair, Her dark eyes are full of fire and she fights the police of- ficials with every glance.

PEORIA, Ill., Feb. 22.—For his re- fusal to go to the deathbed of a mil- lionaire uncle with whom he had quar- reled, Loyal L. Smith Jr? of Peoria, formerly the favorite of his wealthy rel- ative, has been cut off without a cent. Three weeks ago a telegram came from New York to the young man, say- ing that his uncle, L. L. Smith, known to Wall street as ‘“‘Sleepy’’ Smith, a member of the Gates-Drake circle of speculators, was dying there. The tele- gram said that the millionaire wished to see his nephew, who had become estranged from him three years before. Smith refused to go to New York. When he did go, after receiving notice of his uncle’s death, he learned that the entire fortune of several mil: lions had been willed to a trust fund for the education of poor boys. From $500 a Month toe $20. In 1994, after young Smith had been put through the Lawrenceville prepara- tory school by his uncle, who was 4 bachelor, the two quarreled. The youth started out to make his fortune. He had been used to a $500-a-month allow- ance. He came to Peoria and went to work in a cracker factory at $ a week. He now holds an important position with the Peoria Gas and Electric Co. Ife has considerable talent in amateur theatricals, and his acting as ‘Julius Caesar’ in a recent performance of a parody on Shakspeare’s play of that name, given by the young people of the Second Presbyterian Church, was much praised. Friends here who learned his stcury ad- vised him to be reconciled with his un- cle, but he resolutely refused tv do anything to heal the breach, saying he had given his rich relative no just cause for offense. BOTH KIRKWOOD PARTIES TO HAVE LOCAL OPTION PLANKS So Loyal Sentiment for Temperance Strong Politicians Fear to Oppose It. Leaders of both the Progressive Independent parties in Kirkwood declare they will have local option planks in their platforms for the municipal elec- tions to be held April 4, when a Mayor and four aldermen are to be selected. Several weeks ago members of the In- dependent party declared their intention of making local option the issue. The Independent leaders, many of whom formerly favored saloons, now announce their determination to declare against saloons themselves. A prominent mem- ber of that party said to a Post-Dis. patch reporter yesterday that the loca! option sentiment is too strong in Kirk- and wood to think of opposing it. emg Me Ee tee Drunkenness a Curable Disease Orrine Effects Cure or Money Will Be Refunded Drunkenness is a progressive disease: the moderate drinker is not satisfied with two or three drinks a day, craving for more and more becomes’ ir. resistible as the disease advances; the result is Chronic Alcoholism.

The new players, - Waddell, Ferris, Williams, Hoffman and Charley Jones, every one with a grand reputation in the big leagues, together with some promising stuff from the minor leagues, makes the Browns of this year the huskfest-looking bunch that has started a season since 1902. ADDELL so far has been a sur- W prise. He has jumped into the work as though he had just been drafted from a Class © league to be iven a trial in the Major League. He as been enthusiastic in every, move to make the Browns a winner, and he has declared to President Hedges that he is counting on winning 28 gameg for the team all by himself.

Mr. John Drew was the announced Frohman star of this entertaining play, but Mr. Drew’s luster dimmed to a distressing paleness beside the immediate ’ brilliancy of Miss Billie Burke. It was the quickest theatrical eclipse on ey record, and no fault of Mr. Drew’s, either—he signally distinguished himself is by the cleverest and most animated work he has dono for many a year. But -it was all in vain. : The honors of the evening fairly fell over each other, so to speak, to reach the feet of the exquisitely youthful and audacious Miss Billie Burke. Women in the audience beeame instantly absorbed in a study of the baby freshness of her beauty. Men let their eves rest upon her with profound satisfaction. She Was the embodiment of the loveliest phaso of feminine Merely to seo her was to be giad. And then she played with ravishing effectiv: Trixie role. That settled the whole business.

Yeats, author of “A is the founder of the dramatic movement in Ireland most notably represented by the work of the Irish National Theater Co., and it was he who organized the Irish’ National Theater in Dublin, where these players have been established for several vears as the most distinguished exponents of everything that best in Irish dra- matic Hterature. A Protest Against Burlesque Irishmen Charles Frohman’s purpose in bring- ine the members of the Irish National Theater Co. America is to give ex- pression in this country the pro- test which already been vigorously sounded against the caricature known “the stage Irishman.’ As Mr. Krohman said in a recent letter from London: “These players are sincere Irish peasants who do their work in their modest way in their endowed theater in Dublin, just as the players at the Comedie Francatse do it in a big wavy at the theater in Paris. It should prove a genuine pleasure to Irish men and women in America to have thelr own home people come to act these plays. It certainly should be a novelty for others to see these people in their beautiful and simple plays and to hear their rich, true brogue. I am sending them to America just as I sent the members of the French company that Americans may get a giimpse of the true Irishman and a knowledge of the mysticism and poetry of the Irish character, as Interpreted by real Irishmen and true artists.”’ Movement Aided by Irish Noblewomen The man who has done most to popu- larize a drama that is expressive of all | that best and most natioral in Irish life is Willlam Butler Yeats. In estab- lishing the Irish National Company in Dublin, Mr. Yeats was assisted by sev- eral ladies of the nobility who are Trish by birth. Their contributions formed an endowment fund for the thea- ter.

Farm Interests Negiected. “In proportion to its importance, agri- cuiture and agricultural interests re- ceive less consideration at the hands of the Government than any other inter- est. The Government appropriates each year approximately $80,000,000 to main- tain an army; $100,000,000 to maintain a navy, and only $7,000,000 or $8, 000,000 for Rersousture. “According figures furnished by Secretary Wilson to Mr. Lamar, there was expended last year for horses im- ported into the United States for breed- ing purposes, $1,262,398; fer cattle, $118,- 3u8; for sheep, $53,221; making a total expended by citizens of the United States for animals imported for breeding purposes, $1,453.98S7 In one year alone. “No more reason exists why the gov- ernment should appropriate money for experimenting in grains, &oils, fruits and other things along this line than there is for the establishment of a breeding Station where the character and quality of our farm animals could be improved, and the breeding of thoce animals en- eouraged by American citizens.

The affair was quite the liveliest seen here In many a day and will not be soon for- gotten, even though the perpretrator, the Rev. J. W. Heddin, has disap- peared, Rev. Mr. Heddin was a newcomer and was recelving converts by the score into nm sect known loca! iy as “The Holy CGhest people.” Street meetings were unusually successful and everything went smoothly until a large indoor meet- ing Was held. One of the first surprises came when the pastor insisted on oseculatory greet ing for such of the women converts as met his approval and shortly afterward he e mphasiz ec some strong words by casting his hat and coat into the audi- ence. When he declared that. he liad left Deadwood for Belle Fourche because the former city was doomed and its in- habitants were on the road to hell, the exc'tement became intense and the pas- tor, unable to ke ‘“p his audience seated. used pruver books for missiles to ald in carr} ing out his comman: is. So boisterous did he hecome that a quest Was sent for a policeman. and on jearning this He: ld'n broke Ip the meet- ing in confusion by overturning the or- gan in the middie of the floor and heap- ing curses upon the multitude, (ed. re- STOCKS.

Bulk of the fair to good steers between 1050-1..0 pounds brought $6.15 @5.40, and most of the light fleshed and medium grade steers sold at $4.65@4.90. The butcher heifer trade, while slow the start of the period, was soon placed on an active basis, strengthening each day, with closing prices l1@25c higher. Choice sais sold up to $5.25 and many full loads of good to choice sold at $4.8505.15. Most of the decent kinds sold above $4 and those under that fig- ure Were of a thin class. Cows in Good Demand. Demand for cows has been particular- lv brisk and an advance during the period of a quarter places the trade on the highest basis this year. Prime beef grades topped at $5 and bulk of good ones sold at $4.2@4.50. Most of the me- dium and fairly good cows sold at $3.50 “i4, cutters largely at $2.75@3.25 and can- ners mostly at $2.25@2.50. The bull trade closed 15@2ie higher under brisk demand. Vealers closed the period at $8.25, reaching the highest period of the year. The stocker and feeder trade in quiet condition. Bad weather for past week or two has retarded country demand and outbound ments have been very light. nately supplies have been small, and no sérious effect has been felt. What little inquiry noted has served to keep the pens well cleared at prices close to the previous week The quarantine cattle market mani- fested good tone during the period. Fed steers closed a full 10c higher and grass steers were 15@20c higher. <All classes of she stuff were some higher, with bulls steady to strong. Sales. Include ‘orn-fed territory beeves of good finish at $5.20 and fair to good meal-fed Texas heeves at $4.40@4.90, and a train of fair- fleshed grassers at $4.30@4.35. Most of the bulls sold at $3.85, but were good. Few loads of canners and cutter cows sold at. $2.20@2.75. Early Advance in Hogs Lost. Only -a moderate supply of hogs ar- rived, the receipts not being a great many more than half the number that was being received a month ago. and while the hogs averaged fairly good in quality, the per cent of good heavy hogs Was not nearly as large as a few weeks ago. A good many little pigs and lights were on sale from Southwest territory. The first half of the week the market was on the downward trend. but on account of the storm, the receipts the latter part of the week were small! and the market was active and higher. On Monday the top of the market was $4.45 and the bulk of the hogs sold from $4.35 @4.42\44. and the Tuesday market wags on much the same basis. but there was an advance of 10c on Wednesday. the top reaching $4.57%4 and the bulk of the fair to good hogs sold at $4.47%4@4.55. Pigs and lights that were not good showed no advanee at any time. and a good many sold around $3.65 and lower. The latter part of the-week the re- ceipts were liberal and the market de- clined 25@ 5c, the top being $4.30 and the bulk on Saturday selling at $4.20@ 4.27. native beef steers, rather large, and, light and me- portion of to markets have varied at remains the ‘the ship- Fortu- Sheep Advance Sharply. On no day, during the week was there a real good fupply of sheep on sale and the total for the week is not half as large as it ought to have been. as al! of the buyers wanted a whole lot more than they were able to get. A few natives were on sale, but about w~ per cent of the arrivals were , Veste ‘rns and while a fair proportion of them were wintered in Missourl, most of them came direct from Colorado and other Western states. The market was good all week and prices are now close to 2he higher than the close of last week. and all that can possibly be used for mutton are ready sale, as the buvers are not getting near as many good ones as the y want. Dur- ing the week lambs sold from $6.50@7. the good ones principally at $6.% and above. while the vearlings brought $5.50 as, most of them $5. Thea 5. on. and the good mutton sheep from $5@5.40, principally $05.2. Some plain heavy ewes sold at $4.65004.90. Horses Stronger: Mules Weak. The horse trade has gained some strength this week. due to the fact that supply and demand were more uniform. Eastern horses sold readily and values advanced slightly over a week ag while Southern offer'ngs ruted on shout the same basis they held the preceding period. Both arrivals and shipments show a falling off with the same period last week. Conditions affecting the mule trade the past week are anything but satisfac- tory. tienerally the market has exper!- enced a lifeless period, both supply and demand manifesting a material joss. compared with the preceding period. T¢ has required a strenuous effort on the part of salesmen to negotiate what few holdings were available in the commis- sion alleys, as dealers are well supplied. The lull in trading, nowever. is consid- ered oniy temporary and due to the ex- tremely wet weather in the South. a a City of St, Lewle Bonds.

Boston reports brighter prospects in some directions, and textile plants receiving more business. Jobbers of woolens at Philadelphia report in- creased sales. Inquiries for Steel are more numerous, but output of coal is restricted. High water at Pittsburg caused some interruption to business, but facilitates the movement of coal. The business situation is ae at Baltimore. Trade at New Orleans con- tinues fair. but is not up to the average for the season. Foundry buyers from the Southwest are in the St. Louls mar- ket and orders increase, although prices are unsettled and collections only fair. Numerous buyers are in the Kansas City market and the demand indicates an excellent spring and summer trade throughout the ..est. Much snow and rain have improved the demand for footwear and rubber goods, and also helped the wheat crop. Stormy weather has interrupted bust- ness at Chicago, although seasonable goods sell more freely at retail. Tie percentage of active machinery is in- creasing, but there is still little dispos!- tion to incur heavy financtal obligations, and mercantile collections are not yet entirely satisfactory, although less trou- blesome than last month. Trade is still dul! at Cincinnati. Conditions at Cleve- land show signs of improving. Whole- sale trade is good in all lines at Min- neapolis. The lumber business improves and demand for all bullding supplies increases. Country merchants visit tne St. Paul market in large numbers and spring lines are seasonably active. Mon- etary conditions are more normal at San Francisco, although rates of ex- change on New York continue high. Banks renew old loans at an advance of 1 per cent.

She is Miss Lof- fee McKinney of 4416 Evans avenue, 16 years old and only out of the public schools a few months. Her father, William P. McKinney, is one of the heirs of the Sublette estate, which has been in litigation for so many years. Miss McKinney was very pretty as a little child and her ‘still childish face and figure have many promises of developing unusual beauty when she is matured. Since the John Marshall School closed last spring she has been employed at a downtown department store, but expects later on to complete her musical education. She is 5 feet and 5 inches tall and weighs 1380 pounds. Her hair is a golden brown and her eyes gray. All her tastes are artistic and she had studied the Evelyn Nesbit Thaw; poses. thor- oughly before being photographed herself. The camera used was a photo postal instru- ment. The pictures were taken by Frederick Wolfe, with an assistant. The entire task con- sumed only a few minutes more than an hour. The Bvelyn ‘haw pictures, on the other hand, ‘were taken by one of the most elaborately equipped studios in New York. The suggestions for the poses came from ‘tanford White, for whom the pictures were being made, and the work of the photography consumed, according to the testimony of Evelyn Thaw at the trial of her husband, several hours. The picture in which the model’s chin rests upon the mounted head of the polar bear rug is the most famous pose of Evelyn Thaw. It was named “The Beauty and the. Beast.” The picture in which the model is stretched upon the rug with her eyes closed as though in light slum- ber was named “Little Butterfly.” The one in which she is sitting on the rug, with a faint smile on her lips, is called “Ready for Mischief.” They were named by Stanford Whit-. The originals of these photographs have been reproduced on postal cards and gold all over the world. There is hardly a postal card shop in the United States that ‘does not have sets of them on display. They are, without doubt, the most famous series of photographs ever. taken, . The requisites for these poses are a red ki- mono with a large light figure, and a white polar bear rug. The rug used in the photographs of Miss McKinney was loanéd by Russell Gardner, It is a very large and handsome fur .and the head is larger than the one used in the Evelyn Nesbit Thaw pictures. Miss McKinney is an ardent admirer of Evelyn Thaw’s beauty and of the pictures taken on the bearskin rug. She-is very modest herself and said: “It almost seems foolish for me to try to look like that, but I will do the best I can tc show what a St. Louis girl can do toward imi- tating the prettiest photographs in existence.” Miss McKinney hopes that some day, after she has finished her musical studies, she can go on the stage, but her family are not inclined to think of her stage aspirations seriously. “She’s just a child yet,” they say, “and all girls have stage yearning at her age. She’ll get over that, we think.’’

How Ghostly “Central” Played ps '/ Fatal Trick on John Mollett---A Few Seconds More As and His Life Might Have

4 ‘ - revolver had a ‘dwellings. @reat inventions of science are in- BY ANNA LEE. 4 FE telephone suicide of John Mollett of Chicago is likely to hold first place for some time >|. (te come as the most up-to-date affair > Of the kind on record. After calling for his sweetheart over the telephone, Moliett announced that he was going to kill himself. Then he-fired a bul- let into his brain. He fell to the floor, dying, while Miss Olga Buehlmann, the girl he loved, was hurrying to the telephone in her own home to answer his ¢all. When she had the connection restored again she learned what had happened. First she fainted, and then, regain- ing consciousness, hurried to weep over the cold, white face of her dead lover. It was done with startling sudden- ness, that suicide of John Mollett, and by means of that modern device, the telephone, it was made known in two households simultaneously, just ai much so as if the report of the echoed through both ‘*The Irony of Fate.’’ i wonder if you can picture in your rind what I pictured in mine when | read of this up-to-date telephone sui- cide. I saw death and love dancing wirily over the wires together. At one end was a fair young girl, with tte old, old lovelight shining in her - eyes, and at the other the ashen face ’ of the dying man, for whom the tele- eg, _ phone bel) might ring until it broke, without ever arousing him again. His last message had been sent over the wires. His last ‘hello’ was the fare- well of a man on whom the shadow ~~ of death had fallen. ~ ‘There is something terribly tmpres- about a tragedy in which the ‘vclved. It is the irony of fate, to my thinking, that the wonderful ma- ‘Chinery designed to make us more comfortable and happier, should play @ part in somber dramas that plunge Olga is only 15 years old, but she has a fair, flower face and the ways of a girl older than she. John Mol- lait told his relatives before he killed himself that she was afflanced to him: This is denied by her father, but it is certain that to John Mollett she was al] in all, and that she was ex- ceedingly fond of him. At any rate, the Mollett and Buehl- mann families were on terms of in- timacy and friendship. They belonged to the same Turner society and saw much of each other. John Mollett and Miss Olga were together a great deal and though he was older than she, they always had been congenial and the best of friends, even before a.ything was said about love and n.arriage. John was employed by his brother Alexander, who conducts a grocery store at 98 Colorado avenue, Chicago. Recently, however, he resigned there and obtained a fine job with the Union Traction Co. His purpose in changing employment was to in- crease his income so that he might wed pretty little Olga and provide her with a cozy, comfortable home. He decided, though, that he could do better in Coloradc and determined tc go West. ‘‘He Asked for Oiga.”’ He told his brother Alexander that when this Western trip was broached Miss Olga objected to it and a quarre!) fi. llowed. “I’m afraid it’s all off between us,’ said John, “for I'm going to Colo- redo, whatever she says, and she de- clares that if I do, she’s through with , made his reputation.

THE BELLS. HE only instance in fiction where a person was haunted by the t sound of bells is the play in which the late Sir Henry Irving It takes its name from this feature of the plot and is called “The Bells.” In this drama a man, driving in a;sleigh with a large amount of money, is murdered and robbed by Matthias. Throughout the remain- der of Matthias’ life he is thrown into grizzly terror by the sound of sleighbells as he heard them the night of the murder, first faint and far away, then louder and loudcr, until right at hand, then stop- ping altogether as they did when the murder was committed.

He hurried back with her. bui as they ran, the quick, sharp veice of the revolver rang through the house. They found John Mollett lying unconscious on the floor im- mediately beneath the _ telephone. There was a bullet hole in his tem- ple A physician was summoned and the Warren Avenue Police Station was notified by the same _ instrument which playea so prominent a part in this tragedy—the telephone. John Mollett was removed to the Garfield Park Sanitarium, but died a few min- ‘utes after reaching that tne ‘ution. In the meantime little Olga had tripped downstairs at her own home, 85 Wells street, to call up her sweet- heart. Her mother had said: “Olga, John just called up, but I told him veu did not care to speak to him.” Oiga'’s face brightened. She was be- sinning to regret their quarrel. She hurried to the telephone to call her lover, and at least say an affection- «te farewell. She rang up Alexan- cer Mollett’s residence. ‘‘She Was Stupefied.’’ “This is Olga,” she said. “I want THREE "CENTRAL * OP,

ete Si:ole her ea:s like a sound fiom the giave. She looked at the thing of metal and wood on the wall and shrieked. “O, if I only had answered when he celled for me,’ she moaned piteously, and sobbing and shivering, she per- mitted herself to be led away. Alexander Mollett, the dead man’s brother, in telling of the suicide and of the telephone calls incident to it, said: ‘‘He Had Shot Himself.’’ “I answered the phone and she asked to talk to John. I told her he couldn't talk to her and she wanted to kuow why. I said he had been hurt. She appeared to be alarmed and in- sisted on knowing the details, so | told her he had shot himself. She burried to our place and seemed to be giief stricken over the affair. She ard my brother had been engaged for about five weeks. She is about 19 years old.” On the other hand, Alexander Buehlman, Miss Olga’s father, refused to admit that a love affair with his Caughter was the cause of the trag- eay. “My daughter is only 15 years old, and such a thing as marriage never has been even hinted at between Mr. Mollett and my daughter,” he said. “f knew the young man. No one had a better reputation or was a more industrious worker. My son and aughter and Mollett all belongea to tue same Swiss Turner society. They were good friends.” ‘‘That Tense, Awful Look.’’ Mrs. Alexander Mollett, sister-in- law of the suicide, was almost pros- trated by the shock she underwent. To her, as well as to the heart-bro- ken Olga, the telephone now will bea thing of terrible memory, for the last time she éver saw her brother-in-law alive and well, he was standing. star- ing at her with the phone receiver in his hand and that tense, awful look in his eyes. ro hoes ren} > It is a strange freak of the mind, ‘his investing inanimate things with the qualities of animate things, yet it is a weakness we all are subject to in greater or less degree. I confess a tendency that way myself and realize that it is more likely to find a place in the fancy of women than in the minds of men. Yet it is not confined to a sex. And it is this universal penchant of our minds that makes the tele- phone suicide of John Mollett par- ticularly interesting to me The tele- phone is such an {important factor in the daily lives of everyone, these modern times, that it must be ter- rible to have so grim and dark a niemory clustering about so familiar a thing. ‘‘The Voice of the Bell,’’ For Olga Buehlmann and Mrs. Alex- ander Mollett, particularly, the tele- phone no longer is a mere household convenience. It is the symbol and the emblem of John Mollett’s death. Been Spared--Girl He Loved Was Just a Mo- ment Too Late in Answer- have been thinking for a day or two, of this strangest of tragedies—the tel- ephone suicide. The telephone has figured in other tragedies that shocked the country. Not long ago, J. Forrest Welborn of Geary, Ok., was called in the night by a mysterious voice over the tele- phone. He immediately got out a herse and buggy and drove away. ‘‘Half Across New York.’’ Next morning his murdered body was found in a lonely country road. The night telephone operators, Misses Bob Crawford, Minnie Law and Pear] Zachery, were upheld in their refusal ta tell the Coroner what they knew about the telephone message which simmoned Welborn into the night. Another recent telephone tragedy was that of a New York milliner. She was at the telephone, talking to a f:iend. Suddenly the man at the other end of the wire heard a scream ecd a pistol shot. The milliner had been assassinated by a man whose at-

circumstance. coincidences are startling.

FATE. ™~ HE fate of John Mollett was decided by a very trivial If he had rung up the home of his sweetheart a few minutes later or a few minutes ear- lier, Olga might have answered his call and his life been saved. Even if the telephone operator had delayed giving him the switchboard connection, Olga instead of her mother might have heard and answered the ring, and all been well. But death was at the switchboard in the telephone ex- change and the connection was given just at the psychologic- al instant when John Mollett was to receiva the message which confirmed him in his intention to kill himself. Such

The voice of the telephone bell, for these two women, is the voice of the suicide, and wherever their eyes fall upon one of these pieces of mech- anism both women will recall, in the recesses of their minds, the pistol shot and the white face with the bul- let hole in the temple. Even for myself the telephone has a new interest since I learned this strange story from Chicago. I expect that every now and then. when [I am musing, I shal! hear the telephone bell ring out suddenly, and I, too, shall see visions cf John Mollett and little Olga and think darkjy, as I tentions to her had been repulsed. The person at the other end of the telephone wire—half across New York -~had heard this tragedy and knew what had happened, though he saw rothing.

At a big missionary meeting in ecnnection with the Baptist confer- ence at Liverpool it was announced that the society was $4500 in debt. An appeal was made to the meeting to clear it off, and the chairman gave $1000. Other friends gave large sums and the total amount collected and promised was $8500. “AL a | ‘e *~* wn tay etd = a , ~ : ' . : >. + an ..« » iano ee ae ee “ . > ” a a © A dx fia fe ye fae Ls wy Oot. vay en

For the Village Blacksmith is no longer in business at the old stand. \N MORRIS of Lebanon, III., is [) the Blacksmith, whose wife says he has spurned poetry to iu. cud romance’s mazes. He has gone away and the viNage which knew him may not know him any more. Mrs. Katherine Elias, the rich vil- lage widow, has gone too. She has not stepped from poetry’s page, for the reason that she has never been @ part of poetry. But she has stepped cut of town. Mrs. Ora Morris, the wife of the village blacksmith, thinks that the widow has the love which should be hers. She has filed suit for $25,000 eeainst the widow and the case is to be heard at the next term of the felleville Circuit Court. PAGE FOUR For 14 years Dan Morris was the Village blacksmith of Lebanon. The smith a mighty man was he, with large and sinewy hands and the muscles of his brawnv arms were strong as iron bands. When he came, his hair was crisp and black and kng. Now, with more than half a century of toilsome years behind him, it is turning gray. But his face is still like the tan. Week in, week out, from morn till right, you could hear his bellows brow. His brow was wet with honest eweat. He errned whate’er he could. end looked the whole world in the face, for he owed not any man. Each morning saw some task begun, each evening saw it cloze: something at- ‘he was rated as a fairly tempted, something done, had earned a night’s repose. Not only did he not owe any man, but as the years sped by, his thrift and his industry won him a fair share of rewards. He accumulated some rroperty, aud some of the money that he hammered out of his anvil he in- vested in a modest business. So that successful man, as success went in the village. And when he went on Sunday to the church, to hear the parson pray and preach, folks greeted him as a man of some consequence in the village And it made his heart rejoice. Men of wealth were proud to be the friends of the village blacksmith Samuel Elias was one of these. He was interested in a St. Louis iron firm of which Morris was a customer \ strong friendship grew out of their business relations. Scarcely a Sun- day passed that Elias did not call at the blacksmith’s cottage. At first Elias and his wife lived in a part of the town distant from the quiet street on which was the spread- ing chestnut tree under which the village smithy stood. When Elias was minded to build a new home, he picked out a lot within half a block of the smithy. Some say his wife euegested that, because of his high regard for and close association with ‘¢ Something the blacksmith, a site in proximity to the smithy was to be preferred. Anyway, a handsome new home for the Eliases was built there and after that the friendship of the village blacksmith and the man of wealth was closer than ever. When Elias, stricken by disease, was unable to leave his bed, Dan Murris, the big blacksmith, neglected his forge to visit and cheer his af- fluent friend. There came a day when Elias realized that death was rear. He called the blacksmith to his bedside. “Dan,” he said, “Il am going to die. They are trying to keep ‘t from me, but I know it. I want you to prom- ise that when I am gone you will stand by my wife in her trouble and advise her and help her in every way inat you can.”’ Morris promised and Yilas’ dying moments were made peaceable by the assurance that his wife would not lack a counselor and a friend. Until the death of Elias there had been no unhappiness in the black- smith’s cottage, Mrs. Morris says. She bad neve? objected to her husband's close association with Mr. and Mrs. Elias. But when Mrs. Elias was a wealthy and attractive widow with whom time had dealt kindly, endowed with a Attempted, Something. Done” ~~ - , : t. (aes P ee temperament so sanguine that grief could not long repress her natural vivacity, the frequent visits of Mor- ris to the Elias home caused Mrs. Morris growing uneasiness. She loved her handsome husband and the distrust which finally dis- rupted their home grew all unbid- den. She did not think it amiss when rer husband rode’ in the same car- riage with Mrs Elias to the funeral ot Mr. Elias.

But as the dsys passed she noticed that he was -becoming particular about his ap- pearance. Up to then he had recked little how he loo*’ed.

For the first time since they were married he took them io a laundry. And before making a crll at the Elias home or even going uptown past the Elias home he was careful to put on a collar and tie, something that he had never done before. One evening he told her that he had to see Mrs. Elias on business. Mrs. Morris had occasion to go up- tewn too. She walked with him as far as the widow’s home. When she returned from her errand she says she found them sitting on the porch, close together. There were wine glasses near. “I have been treating »our hubby to wine,” Mrs. Elias said. After that there was an end to peace in the blacksmith’s cottage. The distrust of Mrs. Morris could not be appeased. She says Morris did not try to allay it. He continued to call at the home of the widow. He told his wife there were business mat- ters that necessitated the calls. She reproached him and remonstrated with him, but without effect. One night she sat in the lawn sewing at her home and watched the Elias home until she saw her husband t-ave it and walk toward home. She complained to him bitterly. He told her, she says, that he did not care for her any more, and that he did eare for the widow, and would not give her up. Mrs. Morris says she said to him: “You mean that you love her.” He answered, she says: “You can put it that way if you want to.” After that there was so much dis- cord in the blacksmith’s cottage that he ceased going to the Elias home, ..» far as Mrs. Morris knew, but the neighbors told her that when he vassed the house Mrs. Ellas whistled ‘'o him and waved at him. A week or two passed and on an- other evening Mrs. Elias telephoned to one of the Morris children asking for the loan of some coffee. of , the family supply was poured out and taken to her. Mrs. Morris told her husband that if he was going to keep Mrs. Elias supplied with groceries she was not going to live with him any longer. She left him and filed suit for $25,- ") against Mrs. Elias for alienating bis affections. Later she filed suit husband for separate about the closing up of the blacksmith shop under chestnut tree.

-sigited the bank as was this demure is Wa % a 4 . - *. *, HIS is the strange story of “the pretty girl’ who used to “chum’”’ with a stenographer in one of the big St. Louis banks. “‘She”’ made a great impression on the bank clerks, being winsome and attractive, but now it develops that this fair damsel was 0 stalwart man, masquer- acing in female attire. It is one of the most amusing stories that ever turned up in St. Louis. The stenographer and her “girl” ehum were both connected with old and prominent St. Louis - families. Both have left this-city and are liv- ing in other states now. But many of the susceptible bank clerks are still at their desks and friends are having u laugh at their expense since the truth leaked out about the fair vis- itor who used to go to the bank and take the stenographer out to lunch. Once upon a time—but this is no ancient history, if it does begin with “once upon a time’’—a very pretty and dashing St. Louis girl, who want- ed to make her own living, applied for and obtained a position as stenog- rapher at the Third National Bank. She had f.tted herself very thoroughly fcr this work and made an excellent stenographer. Her ability, together with the standing of her family in this city, caused her to be very high- ly regarded by everyone connected with the bank, from the president duwn to the errand boy and porter. The more tenderhearted of - the bachelor bank clerks and tellers took an even deeper interest in the comely stenographer, for she was the sort ot a girl to .attract any man, and it is known that even the prosaic oc- *sipation of banking will not utterly eender the human heart immune to those softer emotions over which Dan Cupid is supposed to preside. ** Clerks Cast Soft Glances.’'’ So asthe young lady used to sit @aintily operating her typewriter there were many soft glances turned her way and many admiring com- ments about her prettiness made by the young men.

a grace and style that made other women envious. She used to sweep into the bank, the frou-trou of her silken skirts distinctly audible above the chink of coin and the rustle of greenbacks as the tellers counted them, and then all the clerks and tell- ers would exclaim: “Here she comes—isn’'t peach?” Hurriedly all the young men would reach up and smooth their hair with the palms of their hands. They felt to see if their cravats were in just the right position. They quickly brushed any specks of dust from their cloth ee she a os oe ee eee a ee ee ned HE world’s biggest old clothes iy shop is not on Morgan street, St. Louis, but is to be found in the London thoroughfare of Houndsditch.

iug. They sat very straight in their seats and did all they ¢ould. to look their handsomest, for every man of them was more or less smitten with the dashing damsel who _ lunched with the bank stenographer. As the radiant vision sailed down the corridor toward the stenogra- pher’s desk, “she” ran the gauntlet of many pairs of admiring eyes, and sume eves in which admiration seemed almost to amount to love itself. But there was nothing of the coquette about. the delightful vis- iter. She knew nothing of the art of f¥rting. as far as could be told from —— en ae ———

The goods are sent abroad in huge bales, each bale containing from 200 to 250 articles. From 300 to 400 bales are sent, as a rule, every month. They go to all parts of the world— Africa, Asia, India, China, and far- Cy any sign she ever gave the boys in the bank, She “was very dignified, self-pos- seesed and refined. If she noticed the admiration she excited, she gave no indication of it. She made no ‘“‘x00-g00 eyes” in return for the “goo- goo eyes’ made at her. But her greeting given the stenog- rapher always was affectionate and warm. And the stenographer seemed very fond of “her.” Bach gave a lit- ile feminine cry of pleasure as they met and sometimes, when the charm- ivg visitor hadn’t been around in several days, they kissed each other. It was a pretty picture, these two fair and radiant young women dis- playing such ingenuous friendship. Ard the young men used to watch the proceedings with the liveliest inter- est.

clothes,” said Mr. Hyman, “and I am always glad to purchase them. We often buy them at the door a single suit at a time, and from the dealers iu large bundles. The various Gov- ernment departments always advise us when they have discarded official garments to dispose of, and we tender pair lingered as long as possible over the midday meal. The “chum” always went back with the stenographer as far as the bank door, and there they exchanged fond farewells. Several of the young men in the bank found out where the two girls lunched and so arranged that they c uld take their nooday recess at the same time. Of course, they always made a bee-line rush for the cafe where the girls went. But the pretty pair seemed engrossed in each other and apparently never observed that hree or four love-lorn clerks were at nearby tables casting soft glances ‘heir way. “I'd like to give that girl a box of candy,” said one clerk to another, speaking of the stenographer’s chum, “but I'm afraid she might take of- fense, especially as I’ve never been in- troduced.” “T think a nice lot of flowers would make a bigger hit than the candy,” seid another. “That girl would ap- preciate beautiful flowers, but I don’t know that she’d care much for candy. She looks like a sensible girl. You kr.ow she never looks at us.” And he sighed a dejected sigh. “Isn't it funny,” said a third; “that Miss Blank (the stenographer) never introduces her friend to any of us. I don’t believe either one of them cares a rap about men. But I'd be willing to buy theater tickets and pay for a carriage any evening if that girl would consent to go with me.” ‘* Forlorn Lot of Swains.’’ Ic was a forlorn lot of swains who lamented when the pretty stenogra- pher gave up her position in the bank and departed from St. Louis. Of course, after that the fair “chum” never visited the bank any more and though the clerks and tellers searched for her with eager eyes every time they went out on the street, pone ever caught a glimpse of her sweet face again. Some time went by and then news reuched the bank that the one-time sienographer had married. And now there comes the information that her husband was none other than the pretty “girl’’ with whom. she used to est lunch. “You see,” said one of the bank clerks when he learned the details, “that ‘girl’ -‘as a brawny young fel- low who was considerable of an actor. He had often masqueraded in wom- en's clothes—indeed, he went to a sirl’s school for a time. When his sweetheart got the place in the bank they were afraid somebody might ob- ject if he came around much, so they acopted the ruse of his posing as a girl. Say, he had us all going, didn't he? And they were an engaged couple at the time.” “I'm glad I didn’t buy her, I mean him, any candy!” said one of the clerks. “T’'m glad I didn’t spend any money flowers for him!” cried another. “And just suppose I had teken him —_ AOA A LA or . ee meee

would be useless otherwise. They are principally purchased by the various traders in the East, who sell them in the bazars; and as they are al- ways calling for further supplies, you can take it that the natives of Africa, India and China évidently appreci- ate this discarded clothing of the peo- really one of the boys—when he wears trousers instead of skirts. I'd like to meet that chap, for I used to be in the candy, flowers, theater hu- mor once in a while myself.” ‘* We Wanted a Lark.’’ The young bank clerks agreed to say nothing more about the matter, but the story finally got out and their. friends have been joking them merci- leesly. But this isn’t the first time, by, any rueans, that men have posed as wom- er and women posed as men in St. Louis. These cases turn up every once in a while. Sometimes the mas- querader ends up in Police Court. Sometimes the matter turns out to be a joke, much as it did in the case uf the young bank clerks and tellers. Not a great while ago two sisters— Mrs. Kate Ashford of 2215 Carr street and Mrs. Margaret Spath of 1903 O Fallon street—were arrested to- gether at night ina saloon. Each had on her husband’s Sunday sult. They s)¢ent the night in police station and were arraigned in court next morn- ing. Their husbands brought them long cloaks to throw over themselves while they stood before the Judge. ‘What’ made you women behave this way?’ demanded the Judge, sternly. “You are old enough to know better.” “We just wanted to have a lark, Your Honor,” replied the women; “and thought it would be great fun to dress up as men and go out for ‘a time.’ ”’ They promised not to repeat the performance and were allowed to go, us they- said they “meant no harm.” Another’ interesting case of this kind was that of Nellie Woods, alias May Willard, who broke into the bachelor apartments of Park von Wedelstaedt and stole a lot of his clothes, which she wore with great distinction until the police nipped her “man’s career” in the bud and caused her to be sent to Jefferson City on a charge of burglary. She assumed the name of “Morris Stewart’ when she appeared in the fashionable raiment purloined from the clubman. ‘* Disguise Was Penetrated.’’ Mrs. Sarah Westbrook, wife of Dr. George Westbrook, donned a suit of her husband's clothes for the purpose of “shadowing” him. Her disguise was penetrated by a man on the street, who called a policeman’s at- tention to her. She too was arrest- ed, but when explanations were made next day, she was allowed to depart with her husband, resolved to stick io feminine attire from that day for- ward. One of the most remarkable cases of sex masquerade on record in St. Louls is that of Joseph Teddar, a young man of 20, who came to this city from Little Rock, Ark. Teddar has had the habit of dressing as a man part of the time ind as a girl part of the time. When asked why he wore female clothing he said it was his greatest distinction by ob employment as a dancing girl on Pike at the World's Fair and later at oue of the summer gardens. He is @ very skillful dancer. ig While engaged at this occupation — at the Fair he permitted his hair to grow. long, doing it up like a woman, — with pins and combs. While not dan- — cing he wore men’s clothes and fre- quently was accosted by policemen, ~~ who caught sight of his long loc’¥s ~~ | tucked up under his hat. But he explained why he wore long hair and was permitted to depart alwars. ‘* Helen Went in Society.’’ “Nicolai de Raylan,” who died of ccnsumption in Chicago, was a suc- cessful sex masquerader. De Raylan was a woman, but posed ag & man | ; But he achieved =~ without detection for many years. ~ “He” even married and was known as “a masher.” De Raylan was ate tached to the Russian Consulate in Chicago and had several profitable rusiness enterprises “on the side.” -. “His” income was supposed to about $10,000 a year. The real of this remarkable person was not ciscovered until her death. Roscoe J. Billman, under the name of “Helen Manley,” wore fashionable gcwns and went in society in South Dakota.

HOWING FAUCEIT£E°'°S OFFICE | q Strange Fight Between Little Rock and Argenta, Ark.— How Bill Faucette, Ex- Fireman on Mo. Pac., Made Away With a Little City to Rule Over ‘EW defeated mayoralty candi- dates are able to wrest from the : city that refused them*her high- est office a portion of her territory and population and become Mayor of it. This, however, is what Mayor W. C. Faucette of Argenta, Ark., has done, and he is holding his office in spite uf the bitter fight waged against him by Little Rock, of which Argenta was furmerly a part. In the fight Little Rock has the Hacking of the entire State of Arkan- gus. But back of Mayor Faucette is the support of every citizen of his ges mmaretg eentury dukedom. He beaten the best lawyers that Lit- tle Rock could pit against him, at their own game, and Little Rock is losing heart. The fact that he is awaiting trial on an appeal from a bentence for bribery of a State Sen- ator does not diminish his influence. Five years ago- Argenta was un- What is now Argenta was a part of Little Ruck. The two por- tions of the city were separated by the Arkansas River, but connected by several bridges. : W. C. Faucette was a City Alder- mian, having left his place in an en- gine cab to-become a lawmaker. But Alderman Faucette was not satisfied with his office and looked with envy upon the chief executive of the city. — he would be gnd nothing He announced his candidacy and began the fight. It was a red-hot one while it lasted. Faucette: made Speeches all over the city from a cab and conducted a “workingman’s cam- psign for workingmen.” He was de- feated by the present Mayor of Little Rock, W. E. Lennon. ‘* So Bill Went to Work.’’ There is where most men would have quit,.or at least waited two years and had another try at the mayoralty But not for Bill Faucette. He wanted to be Mayor, and he wanted the office at his own pleasure. He decided that if he could not be May- ‘or of a city of 60,000, one of 15,000 might suit him equally well. So Bill Faucette went to work. Faucette has the faculty of making friends. Throughout the State there were hundreds of men of influence who pledged their word to stand by the engineer-Alderman to the last ditch. Among them were Jeff Davis, rew United States Senator, and Unit- ed States Senator Clarke. ' Someone drew up a Dill and intro- duced it at the next session of the Legislature. The actual work of in- -- froduction fell upon a member from cy ae. «| ie Ta bg It was an unimportant bill, apparently, and no one paid much attenfion to it.. Ostensibly it ‘Was to permit Hoxie to annex a sub- trb. Hoxie is a little Arkansas town apd did not care whether the suburb Was annexed or not. Neither did the suburb. The bill passed without op- position and was still the unimportant document its supporters considered it. In one night that bili became the siorm center of Arkansas politics. Little Rock would have been less Hoxie, Ark. _- #trprised at an earthquake, and less ‘appalled. ** State Was Up in Arms.’’ ae Se A petition signed by i2 property ' telders of that part of Lite Rock _ Beross the river was filed asking that @ special election be called for the pt of determining whether or «t that portion of Little Rock ly- north of the Arkansas R wished to detach itself from Little ieck and annex itself to North Lit- . Rock, a tiny municipality a mile Tn a day the entire State was up in Take 16,000 of the State cap- I's population from it and make ft a city of 45,000 instead of a near setropolis with 60,0007 Never! pose sotitioners be thinking of? Then Bill Faucette got a copy

of | the “Hoxie annexation bill,’ as it was termed. He showed Little Rock, while Arkansas looked on, where pro- vision was made that any municipal- ity or part of a municipality might detach itself from the remainder and annex to any other corporation with- in a certain distance. Just a little sleeper in the bill that made a new city possible and put Little Rock five years behind in the population race. The special election was. called. There was really nothing else to do. Here and there a dissenting vote was cast, adverse to the proposal that Ar- genta, as it was already called, try its prowess as a full-fledged city The new Argenta came out of the election and Little Rock retreated to the southern shore of the Arkansas River. North Little Rock disap- peared. ‘‘ Put His Feet on the Desk.’’ Naturally, Argenta’s next thought fas a city government. A Mayor came first and in Argenta’s opinion there was only one man for the place. Practically unopposed, Bill Faucette stepped into the position. He went to the newly furnished Mayor’s office and sat down in the new revolving chair. He put his feet u» on the desk, the finest one in Ar- genta, and looked over the ground. There must be a City Council that would work in harmony with the Mayor. He put his v k on a slate and it went through. He continued to put his o k on slates and they con- tinued to go through. When his term was ended he ran again, and again he had a walk-away, as he _ ex- pressed it. The next question was that of rec- ognition. Little Rock ignored the new city across the river. An Ar- genta crook was safe in Little Rik. Residents of Argenta who drove across the bridge were compelled te cerry Little Rock vehicle licenses. For Little Rock, Argenta did not ex- ist., The thought of the loss of 15,000 poptlation was too much. en Argenta began retaliatory measures. A vehicle ordinance was passed and a police officer stationed at the Argenta side of the river, with orders to arrest all Little Rock driv- ers who did not have an Argenta li- cense. The officer obeyed orders. The fire engine house, tlie Mayor's office.

—_———— ee ts ee eee - the City Clerk’s office and the Coun- cil chamber were filled with prison- ers that night. ._ Then a spiiit of reciprocity regard- ing other objects than lemons became engendered in Little Rock and a de- sire to work in harmony with the ci:y over the river was express¢:l. The drivers went back and formal uzreements regarding the mooted points were drawn up. The fines cf the luckless drivers bulged Argenta’s coffers, however. Bill Faucette mede good as Mayor. He made good at 18 as a locomotive eugineer on the Missouri Pacifie Rail-

road and he holds the record today as the best man that ever made a run oz the Iron Mountain. It was more than twenty years after that when he rade a success as a Mayor, but he went after it in the same way. Bil’ Faucette was a fireman on a wood-burning engine at 17. The night atter his first run he “had new sleeves put in his jumper.”” Inciden- tally he had a surgeon dress his arms, which were torn and lacerated. The palms of his hands were torn. “The rough wood wore out my hands first and then I had to handle it with my arms,” was all the explanation he vouchsafed. Young Bill Faucette came to the city and secured his first job as. fire- man. ie drew no pay until the end of the month and his slender supply was soon exhausted. A scarcity of railroad men compelled them to work in long shifts. The lad worked three days and three nights firing an engine, and as he had no money he did not eat. When he went off the run he dropped to the ground unconscious as he left his cab. He ate and slept—

and went to work the next morning. _— -—-—- -- -——— .

Picturesque Character Powerful in Politics—How He R>uns -Argenta That is the way Bill Faucette went after the Mayor’s job. A year and a half after he was elected Mayor, the city owned its electric light plant, furnishing light and power and pur- chased at a cost of $60,000. A $40,- 000 viaduct was erected over a rail- way crossing where scores of persons hod been killed annually. The Fire Department was placed on an effi- cient basis. “‘Metropolitan methods” were introduced into the Police De- partment. Mncouragement was given to manufacturing enterprises and now Argenta is a rival of Little Rock in her manufacturing output. The Cot- ton Belt Railway has secured a right of way into Argenta and will do all of its Little Rock freight and passen- ger business from that city. And Bill Faucette sits around in his office and swaps railroad stories with freight crews. He has a habit of sticking by his friends. Faucette is under a penal sentenee at present for an alleged uttempt to bribe a State Senator—A. T. Gross of Perry County, He is out on $500 bond. His case is appealed to the Supreme Court. Gross helped pass the bill making Argenta a city and has fought bills providing for its re- urnexation. He is a personal friend of Faucette and in this wey the May- or was connected with the crime. Several bills have been ‘ntroduced to allow Little Rock to reclaim Ar- genta, but so far all have failed. It has been a five-year fight on Fau- cette’s part to keep his city, for his and no other’s city it is, independent. The Oldham annexation bill was passed at the last session and pro- vided for a two-thirds vote of the combined population of the two cities to authorize the re-annexation of Argenta to Little Rock. But when the bill was passed Arkansas wus horrified to find that an amen¢ment providing that each city should have a separate two-thirds majority he- fore annexation could take place, had

HE “Round Table” of Dublin : ig Castle now promises to develop as shocking a scandal as the similar affair in the Kaiser’s court, - @n exposure of which stirred the Ger- -man Empire and amazed the world. ~The Angilo-Hibernian disclosures ’ have an added interest from the fact ' that the Irish crown jewels were some of the depraved miscreants who haunted the castle. Thus far the names of a duke, a bishop and a lord of high degree have been mentioned in connection with the Dublin Castle orgies, and En- giand shudders at the thought of the uply things that yet may be learned when this scandal is fully investi- gated. ~So powerful is the besotted band tnat held forth at the Castle that de- trails made public up to date have been meager. Much has been hinted at only. Much of the information has been vague. But enough has cropped out to make the English and Irish people aware of the fact that there have been dotnge in the headquarters of British vice-regal government in Ire- land—Dublin Castle—that would have put to shame the abandoned wretches who made the Roman aristocracy in- f~mous. _**People Are Aroused.’’ A determined effort has been made to hush up the matter and to keep it from the people. But the people are thoroughly aroused and demand that liyht be shed upon affairs at the cxustle. Sir Alfred Vicars, Ulster king- at arms, who had the custody of the stolen crown jewels, insists on a public investigation and has em- ployed the celebrated “Tim” Healey, M. P., the shrewdest and most daring advocate at the Irish bar. An appeal also has been made to the King, and Edward may himself orcer a thorough public inquiry into the condition of affairs at Dublin Castle, including not only the theft of the royal jewels, bnt also the numeless orgies of which the castle wes the scene. The three distinguished men al- ~eady mentioned in this connection uve: The Duke of Argyll, a name fa- mous in Scottish history; the Bishop of Peterborough, a dignitary of the State Church of England; Lord Ron- ald Gower, who wears a proud title and who is known as a patron of ari. Mention of these first two names shocked the whole English nation. Put little surprise was ‘felt, however, that Lord Ronald Gower should be accused of being a party to such af- fairs as were described. ‘*Trish Are Clamorous.’’ How far the disclosures of the fu- ture will reach and what splendid names will be besmirched can only be conjectured. The people of En- giand believe that fear of what would he uncovered is deterring certain officials from pressing any vigorous investigation of the theft of the crown jewels. But povular feeling damands a complete and wuncom- promising exposure of the whole af- feir, all the more so if it shall de found to involve men of the highest standing in the Kingdom. The people of Ireland are even more clamorous for this Investiga- tion than are the English people They have charged for generations that affairs at Dublin Castle were in- iquitous and the recent develop- nients leave no one in doubt that in- iquitous things have been done within the Castle. The first inkling of the nolfsome neandal reached public ears when the theft of the crown jewels last July was made known. Sir Alfred Vicars, who was charged with the safe keep- treasures, was asked to ee , He defied the request and ; trateted on a thorough investigation. _ “He declared that, though he did have pe of the jewels, an abandoned ne: gang of men, some among them peers ol realm, had been permitted to gather in the Castle, and that, to this 4 called Birmingham Tower. In that tower were the members of the Ulster King-at-Arms, whose duties ‘consist- el in keeping records of the coats of arms and armorial bearings of the nobility and gentry of Ireland. He &'so published at times directories of the Lrish peerage. To that official was assigned the custody of the Irish crown jewels, chief among which was the grand cross of the Order of St. Patrick, a magnificent diamond-stud- ded piece of royal regalia, which King Edward has worn on state oc- casions as Grand Master of the Or- der of St. Patrick. This is valued at $350,000. ‘*Revel-Ground of Debaucheries’’ To Birmingham Tower there were two keys lawfully in the custody of Sir Alfred Vicars. Five other keys were held by other officials of the Castle, by what warrant is yet to be determined. That Birmingham Tow- er was the revel-ground of the in- famous debaucheries now under in- vestigation was made known by a remarkable find of the police, callec in to investigate the robbery. Sir Alfred Vicars asserts it was his custom personally to see to the lock- ing of the tower chambers at the close of the day. He denies responsi- bility for what happened at night, when he was not required to be pres- ent, and when all would have been secure had not persons in authority allowed improper parties to carry keys which would admit them to that RAO ae wr ROR?

In effect, Sir Alfred said to his superiors: “There is the clew to this business. Find out whence those keys cume-and to whom they were given and. you will be on the high road to finding out whither went the missing crown jewels. Yes, and you will un- earth a scandal nastier than anything England has known in centuries.” This statement was made publicly and, coupled with the discoveries. of the police which were mentioned in the newspapers, forced the appoint- ment of an investigation board. This -board went to work behind closed doors and none of the testimony in the Birmingham Tower cupboatd This ttle room was used for stor- fe purposes. It was hardly ever en- tered by the regular occupants of that part of the Castle, but the police searched high and low, in dark cor- ners and all sorts of out-of-the-way Places for clews to where the crown jewels had gone. Among the places into which the police yoked thet: hoses was that closet. The newspapers spoke of whi. é discovered there as “parapherna bal used In the orgies of the debauched Cfcwd in the Castle. What actually was found was woman's wearing ap- lingerie and ‘ace, corsets, dainty open work hosiery, silk and aitin slippers and other things. ‘Clew to Scandalous Doings.’ When Sir Alfred Vicars h.uid of this he looked grim. It was then that he made his demand for a pub- lic investigation of the theft. He said the articles found in the Birmingham Tower closet, though their presence rae been unknown to him, gave a clew to scandalous doings which he bad suspected for a long time were ecing on in the Castle. He insisted that the men who made these de- beuches possible, and not himself, were responsible, indirec:ly at least, fo the theft which had occurred. “It is supposed,” said one of the Irish newspapers at the time, “that some men of rank and position who took part in the orgies known to have been held in Birmingham Tower, had with them companions of the lowest order, criminals and villains of the worst type. One of these, doubtless. learned the place where the crown jewels were kept and made away with them, unknown to his titled asso- aics.” That is the theory on which the police have been working. It has been reported in England that ‘h giand cross of the Order of St. Pui rick is now at a Paris pawnshop, at Mont de Piete. The statement is also made that it will be impossible to re- ’ SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS deem this splendid pledge without the ticket, however, and the ticket can- not be obtained until the thief is caught. The French police, however, for the sake of international courtesy, may force the return of the pawned order. In official circles much greater stress has been laid on thé theft of the jewels than on the frightful con- duct of the “Round Table” of the Cestle. In the popular mind, how- ever, the latter overshadows the former. The recovery of the jewels and the detection of the thief are trivial matters, the mass of the peo- ple say, compared to the exposure and punishment of the leaders of the Cas- tic orgies. ‘*Most Iniquitous Practices.’’ In Parliament the Government wil) be pressed for an inquiry commission to sift the whole matter. but many fear that the influence of the Castle debauchees will be sufficiently strong te prevent anything of the kind. If th jewels are not recovered and the thief not captured by that time there vill be a plausible excuse to hand for not entering into a public investiga- tion. Those interested in suppressing and stifling the scandal @in assert that, were publicity to be given to the mat- ter, the ends of justice might be de- mays farih.42r, ao” = .* feated, the thief or thieves escape, i ae fy oe / f a r } } id, j / .

It is the seeming power of the be- sotted gang at the Castle which has most aroused the popular wrath. That the Irish crown jewels should be stolen is not a matter to excite the whole nation, even though a public off.cial should have made this pos- sible by negligence. The fact that certain men, even men of high rank ard title, should have engaged in mest iniquitous practices in; the headquarters of rule in Ireland was a much more grievous and serious mat- ter But the fact that these wretches seem to have the power to shield themselves not only from well-mer- jied punishment, but even from the iw leeh of publicity, has been the last straw. The people are determined that the authorities, neither of the Castle nor of the English Govern- nent, shall permit themselves to assist in this program of suppression anc secrecy. The people will demand that the whole scandal be bared, no ruatter who is affected. ‘‘Not the First Scandal.’’ This is not the first:scandal of the seme hideous kind that has been un- covered at Dublin Castile: Some years age William O’Brien, now a member of Parliament, as editor of the United Irishman, exposed a horrible state of affairs at the Castle. This informa- tion was published in O’Brien’s pa- per. It resulted in the arrest of a man named Cornwall, then head of the p stal service in Ireland.

CAMILLE SAINT- M SAENS says: “I do not * pretend to adduce irre- fragible evidence in support of “my theory that man began his I do maintain, however, that an im- ' partial examination of my the- _ ory must allow that my assump- ' tion and hypotheses are suffi- ered justifiable.”

OU would much prefer, and si.all blame to you, to think that your first progenitor on earth was not some slimy creature of the reptile order, but a sweet-scented flower—a violet, let us say, for pref- erence. If so, you may take heart oO grace, for that good friend of man the scientist has collated many facts the object of which is to demonstrate that on his first appearance in active procreative life upon the earth man Was nothing more nor less than a plant. Scientists have for long taught that a close analogy existed between vege- table life and animal life, but it is only within quite recent days that the theory has been accepted that plants Were really the remote progenitors of animal life. Among the first to propound this somewhat startling theory was a ta- mous Frenchman who last year paid a lengthy visit to America, namely, M Camille Saint-Saens, the musical composer, who is also a scientilic re- searcher of considerable note. He is followed in his conclusions’ by Messrs. Bohn, Dromart and Haeckel, and weight is added to them by the fuct that biologists in England and America are pursuing investigations along the lines Saint-Seans has laid down, and which are, moreover, log- ical extensions of the all-embracing law of evolution. Between the pro- creative germs, both subjective and objective (or male and female), of the mammal and the plant, the musician- vhilosopher has discovered that there erists more than a simple analogy. When both the male and the female germs unite in order to form their offspring, he has found that they de- yop in both animal and plant by the simple process of multiplying cellu- lar tissue, or, as we should say, by tre simple process of “growing up.” In the embryo of the plant, for ex- ample, just as in that of the animal, ti:ere is an almost identical shape in the early stages, even to the navel- string, which connects the growing offspring with its female or objective porent. In this early stage the embryo re- sembles a bean more than anything e'se. Through it, from north to south, runs an axis which is really the cen- ter-point of life One end of this axis —the southern extremity—assumes a pointed shape; the northern end as- sumes a rounded or poll-shape aspect. From each side of the axis little out- growths, or appendices, begin grad- uclly to ma're their appearance. These outgrowths invariably tate the direc- tion of the extremity to which they uve nearest. In animals, for instance, two of the outgrowths take the di-

rection of the poll; two others take the direction of the point-shaped extremity. The same phenomenon occurs in the case of the bean-shaped embryo of plants. Now in the animal embryo a bone forms the first outgrowth; it is fol- lowed soon afterwaids by a second outgrowth, which contains two bones; in its turn this second outgrowth ugain subdivides itself in such a way as to produce the five fingers of the hend and the five toes of the foot. Just feel your hands and feet and trace the outgrowths back to their scurce and you will see that this is so M. Saint-Saens holds, and his dis- ciples concur with him, that this par- ticular subdivision of the limbs shows nu especial advantage which can be referred to for the explanation of its existence. The logical conclusion is, therefore, that the articulation, or minute subdivision of these limbs, was formed not of necessity, but as

the resuit of some general law of ram- ification, or branching off, which reaches its fullest organic develop- ment only in the plant world. If the conclusion just reached would appear to have been somewhat too eagerly jumped at, only consider a few more salient- analogies in point. Tbe northern part of the axis -we have spoken of is called the head, ex- pressing itself in plants as the flow- er and in animals as the brain. You will observe that in both cases this place is occupied by the organ which is most effective in preserving the species. In flowering the plant dis- pisys its greatest vitality and vigor. Among animals, once the development

of the nervous system has brought intelligence and conscious will, the brain decides in the matter of the survival or preservation of the spe- cies, the organs of fecundity taking really a secondary place: The southern extremity of the axis gives M. Saint-Saens no less inter- esting scope for speculation. Most animals possess a tail, either in the full or the incipient stage of growth. Yet few of them use to such an ex- tent as the scorpion or the horse. What, then, was its intended use? That it was not meant merely for or- nament is shown by the fact that in certain animals it is proved to be ut extension of the vertebrae col- mn or spine. Even man has what scientists call a cauda incipiens, or the beginnings of a tail. This tail is nothing else than the equivalent of the tap-root in plants, but it has become useless, and for the’ simple reason that its possessor has for countless ages adopted other methods ot struggling for existence. Just remember, if you feel disposed to doubt that so momentous a change

“For yourself or the Kitten?” asked the first ant. “Why, it’s for a friend of ours,” said Nan. “She wants a room for all winter’—— “Is that ‘her,” asked the ant, haughtily, “because if it is we haven't any rooms vacant.” “Don’t you like asked the Kitten. “IT never saw one in my life I'd give a beetle’s leg for,” replied the ant, indifferently. ‘“‘They’re good for noth- ing.”’ “But I sing beautifully,” cried the grasshopper, tearfully. “So do the crickets, but they all have homes,” retorted the ant. “All you do is sing and dance all summer long, and you're a lazy, careless, good-for-nothing little thing.

Their school at Marshall was known as the “St. Savior’s Academy.” The story of these exiles is full of pathos. It ts a far cry from a little Missouri town to the brilliant Paris. Ir is @ melancholy change for these u':fortionate women to give up friends, home, country, traditions and settle in an alien land where the language and customs all are strange. Not very long ago the Sisters of Notre Dame de Sion were famous throughout France as teachers of girls. Young women from the most refined and cultivated homes in that country, Protestant as well as Cath- olic, were sent to St. Saviors Acad- emy, because the graduates of that in- s‘itution were net only educated in buok lore, but were given a polish fit- ting them to shine in the most cu.- tured circles.

HERE was one door in the palace ‘at Marakesh which no one dared to open. When it had last turned upon its hinges none in that great palace could remember. In a remote corner of the harem, at tne end of a long passage, stood this door. Heavy iron bars reinforced its _penderous beams and these bars were red with immemorial rust. There was a lock, a g eat antiquated mass of hon, also red with rust, and no key had turned therein within the mem- ory of any of the veiled women who fitted about those airy corridors. To these women that door was the sateway to @ mystery, a mystery that none of them dared even desire to explore. Eut just as the wives of Riuebeard were fascinated by the crgsed door of the forbidden chamber ‘in his castle, so were the wives and widows and daughters and slaves of che successive Sultans of Morocco fas- cinated by the barred deor of this room of mystery in thé harem of Marakesh. No word that they must not enter had gone forth; the door o and the mystery beyond i had never been forbidden to them. No such prohibition was necessary; the door jiself was its own guardian. But the veiled women of the harem —Wives, slaves, widows, daughters-— were irresistibly drawn to the mys- tery. Occasionally a pair of pink fret would tiptoe down that corridor asda pair of curfous eyes would peer timidly over a white veil at a little sign upon that closed door. “Khazin el Kebrit Alaniat el Dji- had,”’ were the words in Arabic which tnose frightened eyes read, and they mean: “Magazine of explosive for the Holy War.” Explosives! What do little harem women know about explosives? Ter- rible things that blow up whole towns evd kill and maim everybody! They had heard cannons fired, rifles dis- charged, even shells burst, in the bat- tles between the warring rival tribes of Southern Morocco, the raids. of the Glaoui upon the Sraghan, the skirm- ishes between the Miouggui and Doukkala, and they had screamed and clapped their jeweled hands over their i - ie. hg et eo oe age Fo eens alae Ll OS CHAMBER RWAS UNLOCKED pink ears to shut out the sound of these awful thunders. And here, right among them, was a magazine ofl the terrible stuff that made these seul-racing noises and scattered the limbs and blood of men all over the town! Small wonder, then, that the dainty maids and wives screamed when they read the fearsome words, screamed with little shrill volees and fled like fawns down the passage as if a mine were about to explode under their feet. , One day the magazine did explode and the report of its explosion shook vl) Morocco and knocked the Sultan gnominiously off his throne.

Abd-el-Aziz, the Sultan, has lost all his power except over a few small districts, the largest of which is a sirip along the coast, vcaching from Tangier to Casablanca. On Jan. 3 the oulemas of Fez, the capital, who are the highest moral aud religious authority in Morocco, assembled in the aoly mosque of “Mulaildriss, proclair.ed, as the mob ‘that was menacing and besieging them demanded, the deposition of the Sultan, Abd-el-Aziz, and the erasure of his name from the prayers. Heralds immediately scattered iprough the city shouting the news: “Muley Abd-el-Aziz is no longer our Sultan.” On the morrow, at an assembly of the oulemas, cherifs and all the nota- bie men of fez in the gardens of jatha, Mulai-Hafid, brother of Abd- e!-Aziz, was solemnly proclaimed Sultan. Messengers were sent to him uiging him to come immediately to Fez. Thus Mulai-Hafid, already mas- ior of Marakesh and the south, reigns also in the capital of the north. But although the powers officially ignore Sultan Mulai-Hafid. they can- not ignore facts, and the fact that faces them is, that he is not only a Sultan in name, but a real ruler, with . . at J x. % ee, A ES : , ae Se ~ 2 oe ae Bin $ = a ar ee hake 6, PRO serie Pye teed RS oe 5 a ee F ip oO ee Si-Taieb-Tati, Who Fuund the Trea- sure. a large and well-drilled army, can- non, rapid-fire guns and, what ts stil) more signficant, many millions in gcld, while his rival, the nominal] Sul- tan, is vainly trying to pawn his jew- els in Paris. And so Abd-el-Aziz has reigned, in an inefficient sort of way, for 14 yeurs, during which a condition of erarchy has grown steadily worse. The Caliphs and Caids of the tribes have become little more than bandits, The great Caids of the Atlas region have warred among themselves and have raided French territory. This was the condition when Mulal- Hafid was proclaimed Sultan in Janu- ary. Wise man that he is, he sum- moned the rival Caids of the warring tribes and made them his cabinet, his ccuncil or maghzen, as it is called, “I,” he said, “will be the fky, the ductor, the lawgiver, the head which pians; you shall be my arms.” When he took office he was sent fcr by the aarifa, or grand mistress of the palace at Maralesh, a survivor of the reign of Mulai-Hassan, dean of the women of the harem, an aged rel- ici of the late Sultan and sister of his terrible vizier, Ba-Hamed. The old woman said she was about to die and wanted to impart a great secret to ker lord. The new Minister, Si-Taieb-Tazi, went to the harem to hear the con- fession of the aarifa. She told him to go to the ancient maguzine of ex- plosives and open the old, forgotten, rusted door and see for himself what the chamber within contained. iravely the Minister went to the door, the aged major domo tremu- lously following with the keys. The women of the harem scattered in ter- welace, threw their veils over thel neads and sat moaning and shivering with fright awaiting the crash that should scatter them all in pieces over. the town. Si-Taieb-Tazi read the ominous sign upon the door and ordered the major. domo to open it. The heavy xey creaked in the disused lock and the ponderous door groaned upon its rust- alone. e’ hinges.

There were 30 of them, and all were full of those glorious yellow doubloons. Si-Taieb counted the contents of one box. There were between four and five thousand doubloons in it. Tren he sat down upon a chest and with a pencil] and paper made a rapid calculation. Each doubloon was worth 8) francs, therefore the whole treas- ure amounted to about 20,000,000 francs (or $4,000,000). Explosives! Si-Taieb-Tazi laughed low and long. He locked the door behind him, left the terrifying sign in its place, placed the key in his pocket and went to tell the new Sultan what he had found. “IT have an exceedingly’ efficient Minister of Finance,’ remarked Mu- lait-Hafid when he had heard the sicry.

This new diversion fie the once-a-month “dinner-dance.” Tt has long been a custom in the club to gerve table d’hote dinners on Saturday evening. In the past, however, these affairs were dinners | ly. ane club members and their guests ussembled in the evenings, dined, chatted a little while They were and continued when the diners began to feel that something was lacking and that the dinners could be made even yre enjoyable if somebody would just hit upon the right idea. Like most “institutions,” the dinner-dance was an evolution. It was not all thought out in ad- vance and adopted according to plans and speci- fications. First an orchestra was employed to furnish music for the diners. The musicians played a program during the dinner hours and then, like the diners, went home. But a happy thought occurred to members of the club management. . They conceived the idea of having guests and orchestra adjourn from the dining room to the ballroom and, instead of going home after the dinner, to remain and inqulge in dancing. The idea was mentioned to the club members and they agreed that the suggestion was good. It was tried once and a delightful evening Was spent. “By all means let us repeat this,” said the clab pte ion Rigger sees, 1 sop EEO,

On these evenings members have the privi- lege of inviting guests in small numbers. For instance, a married couple can invite a dozen or fifteen friends to whom they are socially in- debted. These invited guests dine with the host and hostess at specially reserved tables, and are the guests of that particular couple after the ad- journment to the ballroom. So it happens that the “dinner-dances” are really many dances and social affairs all in one. These aie usually about 300 persons remaining once a me * ee

for the dance. For the most part they are young people, but many of the elders stay, too, and if they do not dance at least enjoy watching the ex- tremely pretty sight of youth and beauty having such a royal good time in the large, brilliantly il- luminated ballroom. “The ‘dinner-dance’ fills a long-felt want in St. Louis social life,’ remarked one well-known go- ciety man not long ago. “It is exactly the thing everybody has been wishing for without know- ing just what it was they desired. It brings everybody together once a month, and yet, ar- ranged as it is, the affair is not one big party, but a sort of e pluribus unum event, in which many small parties go to the making.” The monthly “dinner-dance” will be continued throughout this winter and probably next season even more thought and attention will be given to it, until the affair becomes recognized in sx- ciety generally as “the” function of the month.
