The girl refused to give the names of any of her girl friends. A short time after their arrival in New York, she said, one of the girls one o She did not live happily with her sband, how- ever, and killed herself a few months afterward. Meantime another girl had been seeking employment without suc- cess. She sought death and found it by the same way her friend had used.

PEKING, March 14.—The negotiations locking to = settlement of the difficulty between China and Japan growing out of the seizure by China of the Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru are making favor- able progress.

In addition, Japan agrees to adopt and inforce strict regulations to prevent future traf- fic in arms and ammunition from Japan into China, but she refused to include the territory of Macao in this limitation. China will soon take up negotiations with Portugal regarding the contra- band traific at Macao. She hopes that an accurate dclimitativa of Portuguese water at Macavo now wi'l be secured and that the ¢s1.-bling for which Macao is notorious, as well as the sinuggling done through that por* may be mate- rially restricu a.

They made up their minds in the afternoon to have the knot tied and in the evening they were husband and wife. The relatives of both objected strenu- ously and so the pair eloped. Supersti- tion was defied at every hand in the romance. The first objection was the day of the wedding, but it was over- ruled immediately by the bride. i At..Thirteen Clab. Then an attempt was made to find Judge McEwen to perform the cere- mony. After a two hours’ search he was found at a dinner at the Thirteen Club in a downtown restaurant.

The first course was just being served when: they appeared. The officials of the club induced them to have the cere- mony performed in the room.

When the “insurgent’’ drivers were dismissed at noon Friday, August Priest- erbach, secretary of the ‘‘regular’’ Local No. 43, sent out new recruits to his union to take their place. Originally, his faction. of the union was only 150 strong, and he added the necessary 400 drivers hurriedly. The ‘‘seceders’’ have wop the recog- nition and approval of the other labor organizations, and the ‘“‘regulars,’’ who have the contract with the brewers, of Circuit Judge Taylor. Through sympathy with the “seced- ers,’’ the men in the breweries whose work it is to loa@ the wagons refused to do so. Many saloonkeepers, to express their attitude, refused to take beer from wagons driven by the new recruits. They hired wagons and sent them to the breweries for what beer they wanted. Discharge Threatened. Pe Jones, secretary of the Labor Association, said Satyr ever men refused to drivers would be discharged. “The brewers can do nothing but carry their contract with Priesterbach’s Union,’”’ Jones explained. ‘They are be- tween the Dévil and the deep blue sea, and are being drawn into a quarrel in which they have no interest. Priester- bach’s union ‘is unquestionably in the right, so far as the legal aspect of the thing goes, and the brewers cannot go beyond that.” Herman Pfaff, president of the ‘‘se- seding’’ Local No. 43, presided at a meetings at Dewey's Hall Saturday, at which angry speeches were made. The demand was often repeated that the International Union of Brewery Work- ers be asked to call a sympathetic strike of the 3500 brewery werners it controls in St. Louis, Joseph Haus, one of those present at the meeting, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that 2,000,000 brewery employes in the Tnited States would stand behind Praff’s men -in their demand to be re- instated.

House Combine Will Bow to Public Disapproval by Reorganizing, and by Dropping “Danny.” Fe 1 The plan of the House of Delegates to adjourn sine die April 3, two weeks ahead of the customary time, is regard- ed by: politicians as an admission that the combine realizes it cannot exist in the face of popular disapproval. _ By this ruse, the combine leaders hope to be able to keep Assistant Clerk “Danny’’ Naughton, who is under con- viction as accessory after the fact of the bribery of Delegates Warner and Priesmeyer, in office until the end of this session. After April 3, Naughton is to be dropped, and the House will be reor- ganized with a new assistant clerk. The failure of Delegate Fred Wiedmer of the Thirteenth Ward to appear at the crucial moment Friday evening, when the resolution to oust Naughton was on its passage, is said te indicate that he is to be a member of the re- organized combine when the new ses- sion begins April 27. The resolution was defeated, 14 to 10. Wiedmer Arranges for Spoils. Wiedmer is said to heve spent the hour before he appeared in the As- sembly Chamber Friday evening with Justice “Jimmy” Miles, and to have made the arrangement with him later ratified by Delegates Hussey and Bourg, by which he is to replace either Warner or Priesmeyer, both of whom are un.- der indictment for bribery. While Warner and Priesmeyer will remain in the inner councils of the com- pine, the plan, it was learned Saturday, from authoritative sources, is for them to absent themselves from sessions of the House. Two new men will be taken into the combine. Wiedmer, it Is said, has been invited to be one of the two. The other has not been selected. Wiedmer denied when questioned about this that he knew of such a deal, and denied that he had veen with Jus- tice Miles when the Naughton resolu- tion was being considered. Naughton Smiles on Him. Naughton smiled graciously at Dele- gate Wiedmer, who remained in a cor- ridor without until the vote was taken and then entered the hall. Wiedmer voted for the ouster resolu- tion Tuesday evening, but “delayed,” as he expressed it, in getting into the As- sembly chamber Friday night until after the vote was taken. A packed gallery applauded Delegate Fav when he spoke in favor of his reso- lution and hissed the announcement that it was lost. Sachse Tella “How It Is.” The evening was enlivened by a de- lightful syllogism from Delegate Sachse, the distinguished logician from _ the Seventh Ward, in explaining his vote against the resolution. The syllogism took this form. Major Premise: Mr. Speaker, nobody ain’t been indicted yet for bribin’ tn this case. Minor Premise: They’s a law says a bribe-giver is just as guilty as a bribe- taker. Conclusion: Therefore I vote to keep ~ TE: t oe | nit ‘lerk of this Houle: ~e icf Combine admirers in the gallery parently got the full force of this co- gent r-2soning and applauded.

Delegate Davis seconded, and both demanded a roth. cath. In explaining his vote blow. aa “There is nothing personal in this resolution—it is a matter of principle. We have here in our employ a man who has been convicted of a crime. We have been too lenient with him. He should have been suspended or dis- charged when he refused to testify be- fore the grand jury in the bribery cases, but we permitted him to remain in office. We should not permit it longer. ‘“‘We are here to legislate for the best interests of the people and the city.

The galleries broke into prolonged ap- plause as Fay said ‘‘Aye’’ at the con- clusion ‘of his speech. Its sympathies were clearly with the minority, despite a sprinkling of compine sympathizers. Many who could not get get seats in the galleries stood about the floor of the Hc use. “Why don't dey indict the bribe- givers first?"’ demanded Logician Sachse as preface to his interesting sy:- logism. He seemed excited, and his words cculd te heard only by ‘ihos2 near him. Ke was the only combine man to exjla'n his vote, and evident- ly acted as spokesman for the others. The battle for the resolution was it reality fought and lost before the ses- sion convened.

NEW YORK, March 14.—A_ well- dressed, presperous-looking Italian was shot to death in a street duel with two men at 114th street and First avenue to- day. The two men made thelr escape and have not been captured. From stories told by several persons who witnessed the affray it is believed that the dead man was a2 Black Hand agent and that his death was a resuit ofan attempt to collect tribute from the men who afterwards killed him, or that he sought revenge upon one of the men he attacked. Just as the shopkeepers were prepar- ing for the day's business the tall stranger stationed himself at the cor- ner. For several minutes he stood and when two men wheeling carts filled with bananas came along he started towards them. The men stopped and the stranger was heard to ask: “Did you receive that message?’ Both men with carts made answer. The stranger drew a revolver. The two men were equally as quick. The weapons were leveled at the same time. The tall man fired and it is believed his shot struck one of his adversaries in the hand. With the echo of the first shot the two men closed tn on the stranger. They caught his revolver hand aad while one held it, the other pressed a revolver clase against the back of the man’s head and fired. The bullet passed through his head and came out through the left eye and the man fell to the sidewalk. For a@ moment the two men stood watching the death struggles of their victim. Then they fled in opposite di- rections.

Police Sergeant George Straughan returned to his farm in St. Francois County Saturday without the vindication he expected from the Board of Police Commissioners, , Tie charges that Policeman Patrick McMahon of the Wyoming street dis- rict made a false report against Straughan, Sept. 24, 19%, were dismissed without prejudice by the board. Straughan was tried on the McMahon charges, found guilty, and his punish- ment fixed at a reprimand. He resigned rather than take the reprimand. Straughan waited two vears and a half for vindication and came to St. Louis this week fully expecting his charges against McMahon would be sustained and that he would be reinstated in the department. The result of the McMahon trial was a hitter disappointment to Straughan, and he will make no further effort to regain his former position, In testifying against McMahon, Straughan denied that he had used the language attributed to him in the report of the patrolman. He declared he had incurred the ill-will of certain brewers and saloonkeepers in his precinct by rigid enforcement of the Sunday closing law.

The vigorous speech of Circuit At- torney Sager before the jury Friday morning has stirred up much discussion among Four Court lawyers. In one part of the speech Mr. Sager declared that the counsel for Kelleher was part of a system whose profession required them to rattle witnesses and even to allow witnesses to perjure themselves. Mr. Sager said Saturday that he meant no personal reflection on Judge Harvey. who defended Kelleher. He said that he was simply speaking of lawyers in general. “Ruck” Taylor, who was brought here from the State prison st Jefferson City to testify against Kelleher, was sent

According to the members of the Twentieth Century Art Club, the ne- gro janitor refused to admit Mrs. Do- byne into the front door of the Guild House, telling her to “go around the back way.” At the Colonial Party. According to the members, too, the negro told “some women members” of the Artists Guild that the members of the Twenieth Century Club had done the following “awful” things at their first appearance in the Guild House Washington's birthday, when they held a Colonial party: Moved the Guild’s fine rugs in order to dance a Virginia reel. Pushed a feotstool from one room of the Guild House to another, thereby destroying the artistic effect of the decorations. Drove nails in the fancy wall of the Guild’s “Rathskeller” or “cellar” (the choice of words depending on which side is doing the describing.) Served punch on the mahogany ta- bles, thereby causing unartistic blotches on their polished tops. Upbraided Before Negro. These charges in themselves do not make the members of the Art club as indignant as the fact that a “rich and prominent woman” member of the Guild upbraided Mrs. Dobyne for these alleged acts in the presence of the negro janitor. “I’m a. Southern woman,” said Mrs. T. E. Ferguson, president of the club’s committee, Saturday, “and ‘you press how I feel about a thing Tike know that.’ Mrs. Ferguson declined to give the name of the Guild woman who sided with the janitor against Mrs. Dobyne, “I don't mind saying, however, that we did not do the things charged against the club at the Colonial party,’ Mrs. Ferguson added. “It is true that we moved rugs to dance the Virginia reel. But we did none of the other things charged against us. The negro janitor drove the nails in the cellar wall himself and refused to desist in doing so despite the strenuous protest of our club members. Who Moved the Footstool? “We did not serve punch on the Guild’s mahogany tables. And I do not think we moved the _ footstool that strayed into a different room. Prof Ives, Mr. Wuerpel and Mr. Zolnay were in that room. They might know how the footstool was moved.”’ Julian Zolnay is a sculptor and former president 4f the Guild. Prof. Ives is the head of the Art Museum. Mr. Wuer- pel is an artist, who is scheduled to ad- dress the Art Club at its next meeting at the Guild House, March 23, on “‘Botti- eelli.’’ Some members of the Art Club they will not attend the next meeting at the Guild House unless the negro jant- tor is muzzled .in the interval. The club held a meeting at the Guild Ifouse two days after the Colonial par- ty, when the janitor is reported to have been “ugly” because he had been paid only $3.50 for his services at the Colonial party when he wanted $7. The club paid him §1.50 for his work at the second meeting, members say, despite his unsatisfactory work, but they decided to have no more of his as- sistance. say Jealousy Perhaps. next meeting was last Monday. Mrs. Dobyne went to the Guild House early to prepare for the meeting, taking with her the janitor of a neighboring church. Then it was, according to the Art Club members, that the negro told her to go around to the back door, and refused to admit the sexton until as- sured that Mrs. Dobyne had received authority to make use of his services from the president of the Guild. The Art Club has appointed a commit- ee of three to straighten out the tangle. This committee has written a letter to President George S.

Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of this dread disease, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex, color or rank, will be interested to know that while for many years rheumatism was con- sidered an incurable disease, now it is one of the easiest afflictions of the hu- man body to conquer. Medical science has proven it not a distinct disease in itself, but a symptom caused by in- active kidneys. heumatism is urie acid in the blood and other waste pro- ducts of the system which should be filtered and strained out in the form of urine. The function of the kidneys is to sift these poisons and acids out and keep the blood clean and pure. The kidnevs, however, are of sponge-like substance, the holes or pores of which will sometimes, either from overwork, cold or exposure, become clogged and inactive. and failing in their function

Morris Schoen, proprietor of a dry goods store at 2319-21 Market street, does not appreciate the advantages 0° 4 the new “‘readiness to serve’ basis of” charges adopted by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. In the two months since he signed a contract based on the company's new # schedule, the cost of his modest light- ing equipment has gone wp with ; bound, although, he says, he has usd less light than under his former con- tract. Under his old contract, which expired at the end of 1907, Schoeu's monthly bilis ran from $11 to $7 for his equip- ment of two outdoor arcs and 30 win. dow incandescent inmps. Last August it was $11.12. For December it was $16.78. January Bill Much Higher. The January bill, the first under the new contract, was $26.89. When Schoen complained of the .-c of this bill and said he had burned fewer of his win- dow lights, besides closing Sunday nights, since the first of the year, he was told that the bill was for a day more than a month, while the December bill had been for less than a month, and that he would probably find his next bill correspondingly lower. The Febru- ary bill was lower, being $W.72, but was much higher than his bills under the old contract. Schoen said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that he signed the new con- tract under a misunderstanding. “The man came,” he said. ‘‘and told “Me he wanted me to sign a paper giving the company the right to change the wiring in my electric fans before next suinmer. 1 said, sure, if it wouldn't cost me anything. “A few days later I inquired when I would have to sign a new contract. _ because I knew my old one was about run out.

TOWN MARSHAL SHOT IN FIGHT WITH BANDITS — Posse Chases Oklahoma Bank Robbers by Moonlight— Henry Starr Suspected. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WANN, Ok., March 14.—Three men who robbed the Tyro State Bank in Jesse James fashion and escaped with $2500, after making the bank president and his clerks escort them to their horses, stopped near Wann and took refuge in a deserted farmhouse last night. Citizens soon routed them there and in the fight that followed, Leonard Lee, Town Marshal of Wann, was_ shot through the right hand. A horse owned by a citizen and two horses ridden by the robbers, were shot and killed. The bandits then turned to the south- east, after starting west, to avoid posses that had started out from Bartlesville and Dewey, Ok. It was a moonlight night and several hundred armed men are now after the robbers. Special Train Used. A special train was sent from Coffey- ville with a posse headed by Chief of Police John Kloehr, slayer of the Dal- tens in the bank raid 15 years ago. Many persons believe one of the rob- bers is Henry Starr, the o!ld bandit re- leased recently from the State Feniten- tiary. As early morning by the bandits are southwest of Nowata. They are now heading for the heavy timber, and if they reach it their cap- ture will be a much harder proposi- tion than it would be on the open prairie country east of there. Made Girl Kneel on Floor. Miss Dobson, bookkeeper of the Tyro Bank, remained in a kneeling position on the floor of the bank for several] minutes after the robbers left yester- day, fearing to rise because the last word spoken to her by the bandit was that she was being watched, and would be, killed if she moved. Not until after the robbers had left and a customer entered the bank and asked her what was doing, did she rise. She is almost prostrated by the shock to her nerves, but says she can positively identify the bandits. One of the bandits kept calling her ‘little girl’ while the robbery was in progress, and told her several times he did not intend to hurt her.

Her parents believed this would cause her to forget Sharp. Miss Baird returned from New York about a year ago. Last fall she entered the University of Kansas. Her health failed, and she returned to Highland. Walter Sharp was attentive to another girl. Miss Baird brooded over the mat- ter, and told several of her girl friends that she would not live long. She tock postgraduate work at High- land University, and studied chemistry. Thursday afternoon she went to the laboratory and obtained some carbolic acid and arsenic. She then wrote the following letter to Walter Sharp: The Farewell Message. “Walter—I said I was going to kill you both, but I have changed my mind. I can no longer stand to see you go with her. I hate. You will never see me alive again. Good-by. THEO.” Miss Baird mailed the letter Thurs- day night. Sharp received it at the Postoffice Friday morning. He gave it to his father, who turned it over to the County Attorney. Miss Baird attended a lecture by a missionary ‘Thursday night, and later went to a reception at the residence of President Knepper of Highland Uni- versity. She told her parents that she would stay all night at the home of a relative. In University Building. When Miss Baird left President Knep- per’s, about 10 o’clock, a girl friend walked across the street with her. She had only a little distance to go. Miss Baird had obtained a key to the Uni- versity building. She went to the second floor and into the Y. W. C. A. room. She pulled down the curtains, lit a lamp and locked the door. Then she took off her hat and jacket, loosened her collar and wrote the following note on a scrap of paper: “To live without being loved is use- less. Good-by. Theo.” Prepares Last Bed. Miss Baird then spread a blanket on the floor, placed some pillows, lay down and took earbolic acid. She did nur. use the arsenic. When the janitor went to the room to build a fire Friday morning he found her lifeless body.

Se A DREAM The Awakening Reality Less Rosy. “Kar back in my- childhood I hold pleasant memories of the coffee berry ‘n its natural state, and its grateful aroma when roasting over the kitchen fire’ writes a venerable N.

I was troubled with frequent and se- vere spells of headache which sadly in- terfered with my work. “My sleep was less sound than for- merly and nightmare often disturbed mv fitful slumbers, until at last in- somnia held me in its relentless gras: I would lie awake nearly all night. “Other troubles set in until I was pronounced incurable by several of our best physicians. They all prohibited the use of coffee. I was indeed like one under the spell of the drink habit, but I obeyed implicity my medical ad- visers, for I had become a great suf- ferer. “A friend who had been greatly bene- fited by changing from coffee to Pos- tum, gave me a cup of this health beverage to try.

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 14.—Mo- tions for new trials have been filed by attorneys for the four men convicted of graft in connectien with the building of the Capitol. The men found guilty are John H. San- derson, contractor; William P. Snyder, former Auditor General; W. L. Math- ues, former State Treasurer; James M Shumaker, former Superintendent 0? Public Buildings’ and Grounds. The appeal for new trials will not stand in the way of further prose- cutions under the present plans. The defendants have been admitted to bail pending the appeal. They will be brought to trial March 23 on further charges. In addition to those already found guilty on the first charges, Congressman M. Burd Cassell, Architect Huston and Frank Irvine, traveling auditor, will be made defendants. The*jury had been sitting in «he case seven weeks, and rendered the verdict last night after six hours’ deliberation. It was two hours after their. decision that they returned to announce the ver- dict. Maximum penalty in each case is twce years in prison and a fine of $1009. Only Two in Court. Only Sanderson and Snyder were in court when the verdict was given, and neither would talk. None of the coun- sel for the defendants would say any- thing about the case. The State’s At- torney said that they were well pleased with the result of the hard work. The four men were convicted of de- frauding the State of Pennsylvania in furnishing the new Capitol, which cost the State about $13,000,000 instead of $4,000,000, the figure at which the con- tract was estimated. Long Jury Trial. The present case constituted one of the longest jury trials in the history of Pennsylvania courts. The prosecution of the alleged frauds was the outcome of the political up- heaval in Pennsylvania in 1905, which resulted in the election of William H. Berry, a Democrat, as State Treasurer, in the fall of that year. Berry threw open the books of the State Treasur~ and showed that the cost of building the Capitol was more than three times the amount of the contract .

Mrs. McDonald and Mr. French ob- tained a license Monday, but the bride’s identity was not revealed at the time, as she did not give her home address. It became Known that she was Marshall McDonald’s widow Friday afternoon, when an ante-nuptial contract was filed in the Recorder’s office by Attor- ney Alphonso Howe, who was a pari- ner of the bride’s first husband. This contract stipulates’ that bridegroom is to have no interest the property of the bride. At the bride’s home, 5659 Verron ave- nue, it was said Saturday that she was not there.

John Gahr, 22 years old, a Belleville coal miner, was injured when the trol- ley pole of an East St. Louls & Suburb- an car pulled down half a mile of wire and half a dozen poles near Signal Hil: place. The car was the Nigger Hollow spe- cial, filled with miners from Nigger Hollow mine. It was speeding along at the top of the bluffs when the trolley pole flew up and caught a cross wire. The trolley wire was pulled down and broken and it wrapped around the car, shattering the windows and emitting sheets of flame. Gahr, who was on the rear platform, either jumped or was thrown off. He became entangled in the wire, but the current seemed to have grounded and he was not shocked. His back was cut and his shoulders were bruised. The other pasengers were badly frightened.

There is danger that Mr. Murray Carleton’s Mesopotamian phrase. ‘Conservative co-opera- tion,” may not be understood in the far East and the remote West. His words were: The bridge arbitrary is abolished. Wet us strike it from our vocabulary and bury it, inscribing to its memory, “Killed by conservative co-operation.” Whenever a corpse shows signs of life it is wise policy to defer the obsequies and to dismiss the tombstone man. There should be no funeral services over the bridge arbitrary until the Coro- rer has disposed of the case, and even then the epitaph should be truthful. There would not have been much conservative co-operation on the part of some people if it had rot been for the liveliest sort of use of the free bridge club by others. The Post-Dispatch will look for the Bridge Trust’s hic jacet on the pillar: oi the free bridge and nowhere else. a Li di ——._ “STONE HIDES THE SHELLS!” Shouts a Jefferson Club orator: “I do not believe that the Democracy of Missouri will indorse William H. Phelps, one of the most no- torious lobbyists in the State!” No; the Old Gang is only trying in Stone’s be- half to scare Democrats with Phelps. Phelps is not running for office; he is not even a receptive candidate; he is not making a campaign; but in order to beat Phelps the Old Guard at Grand and Pine pleads that it is necessary to elect Bonanza William of the Rubber Boots to the Senate of the: United States. At any rate this odd bit of ratiocination vividly recalls the historic contest between these two no- torious egg-sucking statesmen. “We both suck eggs,” shouted Phelps to the ‘rreat public audi- ence, “but Stone hides the shells!” Happily, however, the Democrats of Missouri are not forced to choose between notorious egg- suckers for the Senate. The preference of the people passes them by, leaving them to their While the Did Guard at the Jefferson Club and elsewhere are entitled to their own preference like other people, they ought to know that every rotten egg they burst on old Bill Phelps in this campaign only ERRORS OF A SCHOOL BOARD. In its labored pronunciamento on the subject of safeguarding the lives of school children the St. Louls Board of Education has this to say: It is true that the Board has not favored in the past the erection of outside fire escapes. This matter has been considered frequently, but it seemed that the use of outside fire escapes by children constituted an additional danger in case of panic. Were out- side fire escapes installed drill in their use would be required in order to make them serve in case of need, and such drill would be of the greatest’hazard to the children. This is at once a confession and an excuse. It is an admission that fire escapes have not been provided and it is a feeble defense of the neglect. If the reasons here given against the construc- tion of fire escapes are valid they apply to such devices everywhere. If, on a school building, they constitute an additional danger in case of panic, the same must be said of them on a hotel or a factory. If they are useless in one place because people are not drilled upon them, so are they use- less in all places, for few persons have ever tested their agility upon one of them. It is related as an incident of the Collinwood fire that one teacher in charge of 34 of the younger pupils saved all but two of them by means of a rude fire escape. Two lost their lives in the descent. In comparison with the mortality in other rooms where no attempt to use the fire escape was made, this must be accepted as a most impressive fact, and fact in this case, as in everything, is worth much more than excuses, theories or explanations. The truth appears to be that the St. Louis Board of Education has been misled in this matter. It has acted upon bad advice. In enlarging upon trifling objections to fire escapes it has not done justice to itself and it certainly has not done justice to the people. Fire escapes are not designed for drills or for pleasure or for ornament. Their aim is to save life when all other means fail. Desperate perils justify desperate expedients. To object to them on trivial grounds is like arguing in the presence of a drowning man whether he shall be saved with a plank at hand or by a steam yacht a hun- dred miles away. Recent inspections have shown that the self- satisfied indifference of the Board of Education has extended, as was natural, to its subordinates. If the master makes light of danger from fire and cenies the utility of fire escapes, we need not be surprised to find janitors piling hot ashes in inflammable cellars all winter long and laughing at the fears of those who point out the danger of the practice. In the main the Board of Education has served the people well, but in this matter it has made « record which it should correct with all pos- There are people in New York who are more afraid of lean and hungry Hughes than they are cf Taft, who lards the earth and sleeps o’ nights.

Would kindly ask E. W. where he purchases his meats, groceries, etc., and of what they consist. ECONOMY. Naming a Park. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. I would like to make a suggestion to give that little park a name where the old French Market was—one of the following names: La Salle Park or Convent Square, as I think one of the names would be a good name for the public improvement to call it. I know there will be a good many tired out peo- ple after coming over the free bridge and would like to stop in Fourth Street lane and rest for a few min- utes before starting on their Missouri journey.

The Post-Dispatch hastens to offer the most cordial congratulations and the very best of Wishes. To increase human happiness is the highest function of a newspaper and we are glad tc be the promoter of matrimonial as well as Other kinds of bliss. Moverover, to have enabled one of those superlatively undesirable citizens, a _ bachelor, to secure the dearest little woman in the world for a wife is a journalistic achievement of first magnitude. Upon this professional triumph we may par- Gonably felicitate ourselves. To have found a wife for a widower would have been comparative- ly easy; even to have found a good, a very good, ‘a dear, a very dear wife for a bachelor would be less noteworthy. But in this instance of all the Rundreds of millions of women in it, little and big, the medium of the Post-Dispatch discovered for a mere bachelor the one superlatively dearest little woman in the whole wide world for a wife. More happiness to them both! Let us hope that he will always regard her in the superlative degree and moreover that he will always prove worthy of his phenomenal good fortune. i int A — a a THE VERNAL IMPULSE STIRS.

With the example of a first invitation to inspire them, the ladies of these parts are not going to be slow about honoring themselves in honoring the first lady of the land, whose mail for the next few mornings should be fat and flattering. In its turn “the St. Louis district of the Mis- souri Federation of Women’s Clubs” counts it a privilege to extend a cordial invitation to “the worthy wife of the President,” viz: Twenty-five art, literary and philanthropic clubs for whom we act, represent 1500 hospitable clubwomen, who count it both a pleasure and a patriotic privilege to extend the hospitality of the St. Louis club wom- en to the worthy wife of the President of the United States. x The first lady of the land cannot ;fail to be sensible of such approval from so superior a source. It is not every good wife, even of the White House, whom the critical Judgment of clubwomen would deem worthy of that serene bestowal, at once final and all-sufficing. Merit- ing it, however, in respect of every qualification of character and conduct, the wife of our Presi- dent may well be moved to grateful acknowledg- ments. I WAR, THE CANAL AND DEEP WATER. John F. Stevens says the Panama Canal will be v.orse than useless in the event of war, and yet it was the war spirit which impelled the United State to undertake the work.

As a loyal Englishwoman, I feel compelled to write to your valuable paper a few words in defense of the (so-called) cockney dialect. Born and reared un- der the English flag and having spent seven years of my life in different parts of London, I think I am justified in saying that the reporter's idea of the “cockney” is entirely wrong. Probably he has never heard or has no idea what a cockney really is. I would like to inform him and readers of the Post- Dispatch that to be a cockney means he must be born within sound of Bow Bells. I do not think you have or ever will hear English man or woman de- grade the English language as it was printed on last Monday. Thanking you. A LOYAL ENGLISH WOMAN, Vivisection. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The common sense of the most ignorant citizen teaches him the result of inoculation of hydrophobia virus, and to have a dumb animal hold out his paw in a friendly and beseeching manner, only to be met with by deceit and betrayal, exhibits a deplorable absence of the finest principles of humanity. The fact that public morals were never elevated by a knowledge of this brutality, and that a feeling of disgust toward the perpetrators is engendered, is conclusive proof that such practice meets with the condemnation of the great majority of reputable citi- zens. It would take more eloquence than can be furnished by the medical profession to convince the average citizen that the needless torture of confiding dumb animals is any practical help whatever to sct- ence. JOS. W. SMITH. = Bootlegging. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have just finished réading Otto Bachmann's letter of the 9th and am really surprised to see how simple his arguments are.

McAleer of the Browns faced the prob- lem of making three nines out of 26 today. He has three teams booked to play and has but 26 men. However, he borrowed a native who said he could pitch and one or two other browned local boys, put on sgreen uniforms trimmed in white braid and agreed to help out just to get their names in the St. Louis line-up. The third team was aroused from bed at 5:30 this morning, and after coffee and eggs, specially ordered, hopped a train for Monroe, a town in the Cot- ton States League. While they are en- tertaining the country folk there the rest of the squad, with the aid of a few town boys, will exhibit here. Rube Waddell was sent down to Mon- roe as the attraction. He has a lot of friends there. In the Friday afternoon game young Bill Bailey, the southpaw ~ twirler, showed the best form of the spring work. He heaved the entire nine _in- ning game for the second team and held the regulars to only four clean hits. Bill said he was tired at the finish, but he was using steam in every inning.

The double defeat of last year is hurting them and they are out for revenge. McAleer himself is more enthustastic than anv of the players. However, the veteran Browns are go- ing to have their hands full to turn the trick. The voungsters on McClos- key’s team are just a bit ahead of them in training so far, and as voung fel- lows, especially pitchers, always get in shape quicker than old men, the Cardinals are going to plav faster ball when the two teams meet the first part of April. If McAleer gets away with the victorv in the spring series it will be because his young pitchers will be in shape to go the route. or possibly because the scrappy methods of such men as Jimmy Willlams and Hobe Ferris will strike terror into the hearts of McCloskey's kids, who have hardly faced such ag- gressive ballplayvers in the past. Howell Conditions Quickly. Harry Howell Is one of the old pitchers on the Browns who seems to be getting into condition quickly. Waddell, too, is working splendidly so far, but, of course, has not cut loose with his full speed as he will be able to do by the first of June. McAleer probably will have the better hitters. These veterans can go up to the plate right at the start and slam the around just the same as they do in uly. ! a: coscoeHws Si nor eal So eOr | QON-oONSS nS | _ op | OS MSS o~D 7 0 0 ~~ Athletic Conference in K.

HAVE won and lost a lot of my own ] money playing billiards, but the match fn which defeat stung me most was a Spunish red-ball corner contest with John Horgan, played about two years ago in ths city. I have aiways prided myself upon my gkill in the cor- ner game. In fact, I was and am stil] willing to wager that I can beat any man playing the game. : In the Spanish game the red ball is frozen in te corner of the billiard table on the right side. A space of seven inches across ts marked on the table in the opposite corner at the same end of the table. The man that wins the bank shoots first from any place behind the spot, at the same end of the table at which the ball is frozen. He must al- ways hit the left-hand rail first. The object of the game is to knock the red bail out of the corner and knock it in- side of the marked-off space and make it stay inside in the teast number of shots possible. It is a difficult game, but I was play- ‘ing the game well and so was Horgan. We finally got into a little argument and made a special match for a neat jsum of money, the match to be best 11 out of 2 mes, Finally it came down to the stage where I had won 10 games and Horgan Wy. About $250 had been wagered on the match by outsiders. Horgan won the bank and shot. He disposed of the red ball in six shots.

Tw C HARLES C. PETERSON describes many remarkable shots their match for the 18.1 balk line championship at Chicago that were made by Willie Hoppe and Jake Schafer in Wednesday night. Peterson thinks that on account of the cloth being new and stretched tightly the table was too fast. This handi- eapped Hoppe, who missed a number of draw shots at which he usually displays wonderful form. Hoppe made one shot that drew laughter from the crowd. It was a bank across the table. Instead of hitting both balls Hoppe’s ball hit one with English, swung down to the end rail and then back up to almost the center of the side rail again for a count. Schaefer made many difficult masse shots. He shot rapidly and never hes- itated a second over the most difficult shots. One masse compelled him to reach far out in the middle of the table to get at his cue ball, but he made the count. Another great effort made by Schaefer was a three-cushion~- shot which he made to draw the balls to- gether. When he made his high run of 95 Peterson declared that Schaefer made some wonderful shots, consid- ering it was his final billiard match for the championship.

Besides the large number of horses now on the grounds others are on their way from different winter quarters, including New Orleans, California and the local courses. The pleasant weather has given the trainers a good chance to send their horses along, but as the track is still # little heavy nothing fast has been asked of some of the horses.
