NOT AUSTRALIAN PLAN

Candidate for Board President Insisted on Changes in the List. East St. Louis will have the liveliest school election Saturday that has been held on the East Side in recent years. One day after the nomination of a tick- et for president and four members of the Board of Education by the Inde- pendent Municipal party, an independ- ent ticket was named in opposition Fri- day. The Independent Municipal party is now in power, and has been success- ful in electing its full ticket for several years. This year considerable activity result- ed from the refusal of President W. A. Moody of the School Board to strive for | re-election with the men ‘chosen at a caucus Monday night as his running mates on the Independent Municipal ticket. When he withdrew, John M. Chamberlain, president of the Real Es- tate Exchange, was offered the nomina- tion, but he refused to accept unless the rest of the ticket was changed. This caused an entire change of pro- gram, and, according to his wishes, the following ticket was nominated: For president, John M. Chamberlain; mem- bers of the Board, H. H. Jones, Michael O’Day, A. I. Cummings and J. C. Kist- ner. Running for Mayoralty.: The Independent ticket is: For presi- dent, J. B. House; for members of the Board, L. W. Caughlan, N. P. Story, Eugene Wright and J. M. Perryman. Mr. Wright has announced himself as a candidate for the mayoralty one year hence, on the Citizens’ ticket, and is now engaged in his long-distance cam- paign. The executive committee of the Citizens’ party met Thursday night, and decided not to put up a school ticket at Saturday’s election. When the tickets of the Independent candidates were printed Friday morning it was discovered that they were the exact size, color, type and make-up of the Independent Municipal ticket, the only difference being in the names. At school elections the Australian ballot system is not used, and bunches of bal- lots are placed near the polls for voters. It is feared that many voters will be misled by the similarity of the ballots. BROOKER SAS STOCKHOLDER OWE $500.00 Sues for Refund to Trust Company of Alleged Unjust Profits.

Taking of testimony in August Brooker’s suit against certain of the stockholders of the Title Guaranty Trust Co., was resumed in Judge Kin- sey’s court Friday. Brooker relies to a great extent up- on the testimony of the men he has sued to prove his allegations that the company should have $600,000, which, he alleges, the defendants made as a profit in the purchase of 11 title com- panies for the Title Guaranty Trust Co. in 1901. Defendants to Take Stand. Among the witnesses summoned for Friday are Fi. Clay Pierce, Thomas H. West, Lorenzo Anderson, Festus J. Wade, E. C. Simmons, Breckenridge Jones, August Gehner and Thomas H. McKittrick, all of whom are defend- ants. P It is Brooker’s contention that the defendants entered into an agreement to procure options on 11 title plants in St. Louls, which were to be purchased by the Title Guaranty Trust Co.. He alleges the options were pro- cured, the total price to be paid for the properties being $1,267,500. Charges Sale at Profit. He alleges the defendants procured the properties for that amount, but in disposing of them to the trust com- any, obtained $1,750,000.

It is said to be the purpose of the grand jurors to make a very thorough investigation.

Then followed the arrest of Mrs. McGee on the charge that she had stolen the ring from her employer and had given it as a present to Dr. Pauley.

She was later paroled, and went to her father’s farm. In connection with the grand investigation, Judge Muench has issued an impounding order against Recorder of Deeds Joy notifying him to take good care of five warranty deeds of trust which are said to have figured in the transaction surrounding the furnishing of bond for ‘Kid’ Burke.

Somebody did, and this started a ru- mor that Chris Von Der Ahe had begun to spend his $6000, the proceeds of the game played for his benefit by the Browns and Cardinals, but he says none of it is going that way. The secret is locked in the breasts of Hugo, the barber, and Nat, the porter, and the money is locked in Treasurer Freeman’s safe to be used as exhibit A in the club's first prosecution under its anti-tipping law.

BANK CASHIER TRIES T0 CORNER CHEESE MARKET; IS DETECTED IN THEFT Wisconsin Man Loses $30,000 in Attempt to Manipulate Milwau- kee’s Limburger Supply. Special to the Post-Dispatch. " MADISON, Wis., April 17.—It was his attempt to cornér the limburger cheese market that led Edwain C. . §torey, cashier of the Citizens’ Na- - tlonal Bank of Belleville, near here, to embezzle $30,000 of the bank’s funds. The cashier was led to be- lieve that there were millions in lim- burger. Belleville is the central mar- ket in the State for that brand of cheese. The temptation to speculate was too strong for Storey and he nibbled at the bait, first “borrowed” the bank’s money five years ago, lost it and has kept on borrowing until the State bank officials smelled a rat; then dis¢overéd, his thefts. | When accuséd of the embezzlement Storey took. poison and is critically ill. His. salary was only $900 a year; his household expenses were more than that. He is married and daughter, a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute. The bank’s directors good Storey’s defalcation institution will resume business. The directors are informed, it is said, that Storey’s agents in Milwaukee, where great quantities of limburger deceived him and sold far under the price he fixed.

The Drink Question is by no means confined to the excessive use of aleoholie stimulants. The amount of coffee containing a poisonous alkaloid — caffeine — which is consumed in this country is said to be over ten million bags a year. And there’s more ‘‘nervous prostration’’ in America than anywhere on the globe. If you really want strong nerves and a clear brain, stop coffee and use the wholesome cereal beverage.

ENCHLISER J MEN IN BATTLE: KILL 125 ARABS _ Mohammedans Attack Euro- peans, Who Rally and Put Them to Rout.

COLCOMB, Bechar, Algeria, April 17. —AM French column posted on Talzaza Hill, which commands the plain of Tam- let, was attacked fiercely at daylight yesterday by a number of Berbers, who, with nomad Arabs, have been concen- trating for some weeks past on the western frontier of Algeria. Although surprised, the French force rallied and fought desnerately and not only beat off their adversaries, but pur- sued them for six miles. So hot was the pursuit that the Arabs, in their headlong flight, abandoned their dead and wounded. Several green flags of the prophet also fell into the hands of the French. This French victory was costly. Twen- ty-eight men, including an officer, were killed; 100 men, including 10 officers, were wounded. The losses were great- est in the foreign legion. The Berber losses were much heavier, no less than 125 dead bodies being found by the French troops. The French pursuit was stopped by darkness. PRESIDENT SHIFTS ARMY MAN HE HAS EXILED FROM FELLOWS Transfers Colonel From Abandoned Fort in Arizona to Equal Lone- liness in Florida. WASHINGTON, April 17.—On order of President Roosevelt, the War De- partment will transfer Col. William F. Stewart of the Coast Artillery from the abandoned post at Fort Grant. where he has been an exile since last September, to the St. Francis barracks, also aban- doned, at St. Aligustine, Fla. No reason is given by the department or from the White House for Col. Stew- art's exile. That he has displeased the President is certain, but in what way none will tell. When he demanded the reason for his banishment from the haunts of mankind, Col. Stewart re- ceived the following explanation from the War Department: “The action of the President that de- termined your present status was based upon a report submitted and acted upon by the President, which contained the distinct recommendation that you be retained at Fort Grant until you reach the immune age (62) permitting of your compulsory retirement by the President, unless in the meantime your application to be retired after 40 years’ service should be received; then, of course, you would be ordered to your home on re- tirement.”’ JULIA MARLOWE SEEKS REST; OUT OF VON HERRMANN CASE Actress’ Name Withdrawn From Wife’s Bill—She Retires to Home in Catskills. NEW YORK, April 17.—On -the advice of her physician, Dr. John E. Stillwell, Julla Marlowe left the city yesterday for her home in the Catskills. When Miss Marlowe left the Plaza, she informed Lee Shubert and her business manager, Mr. Meyers, that all communi- cations to her must come through her lawyer, Herbert L. Satterlee. Attorney Percy A. Brigham, who ‘filed a petition for divorce in behalf of Clara L. Von Herrmann of Hamilton, against her husband, Cara! Stephen Von Herr- mann, in which Julia Marlowe and Mrs. Maude Thorburt Backus of Brook- lyn were’ named as Co-respondents has had the petition dismissed on motion to Judge Richardson in Salem, Mass. names of Miss Marlowe and Mrs. us are eliminated from the case. Lawyer Brigham was convinced that the source of Mrs. Von Herrmann’s in- formation was whollv unreliable. Mrs. Von Herrmann has brought a new suit against her husband asking for a divorce on the ground of the use of morphine, cocaine and other drugs. PRINCE GOT $120,000 FROM HER, FRENCH WOMAN SAYS Mile. Kemper Alleges Victor of Taxis Sought to Facilitate Mar- riage to American. PARIS, April 17.—Mlle. Kemper has laid formal complaint before the Public Prosecutor against Prince Victor of Thurn and Taxis, who, she alleges, ob- tained $120,000 from her to facilitate his marriage first with a Princess of the house of Bourbon, and, that failing, with an American heiress. The money, she attests, was obtained at various times from her through third parties. The complainant states that she ob- fained a court order for the seizure of the Prince's possessions at a hotel in Paris, but the officers found in his apartments few clothes of value.

Prince Victor recently lost a suit in London, in which he had asked an in- junction preventing Miss Josephine Mof- fitt, an American girl who had followed him to that city, from referring to her- self as the Princess of Thurn and Taxis or asserting that she had been married to him secretly in in the e United States. ee DOG STEALS BABY CLOTHES Carries Garments Homeé to Chil- dren of His Owner. Special to the Post-Dispatcn, NORTHAMPTON, Mass., April 17.— This city is the home of a dog imbued with the idea that he is the natura! provider for the babies of the family that owns him. A deputy sheriff from a nearby town stepped into a news- paper office, leaving on the steps a bundle of six suits of clothes that his wife had made for twin babies in this city. When the officer returned the bundle had disappeared. Word came to se that a dog was seen running into the outskirts of the city, carryi . The dog took the in whic

He stood bashfully in the center‘of the room, while Mr. Roosevelt peered at him a moment through his glasses. Then the apostle of strenuousness advanced, grasped Sheridan’s mighty right hand with both of his and said: “I'm awfully glad to meet you,” and he pumped Martin's discus-throwing limb up @®@d down half a dozen times with the vigor that the Chief Execu- tive uses when he wats to be em- Sheridan Glad He Let Go. “I'm mighty glad you let go,” said Sheridan, as he soothed his crushed and somewhat numbed member. ‘It seems to me that there is the making of a world’s champion right here in the White House.” “Ho, ho, ha—that’s mighty good,” ,said “Bvidently you know I like athletics. Did you ever meet my friend, Jim Connolly of Boston?

BOSTON MODEL FOR US

Hears His Name Mentioned for Circuit Attorney, but Is | Too Busy. By MARGUERITE MARTYN. HOMAS E. MULVIHILL, who has T revoked the licenses of so many largé, prosperous saloon keepers; who has forbidden music in summer gardens; who will not permit cards or billiards in saloons; who has de- prived the women of their afternoon drinks in downtown restaurants, and, no matter how much they suffer from heat or cold, will not permit them the comfort of a mint julep or a hot toddy; who has put the lid on our city, to the glorification of our Governor—he whom I have. heard spoken of as “‘Czar’’ Mul- vihill—is a very small man, with a large, worried look. He talked to me half an hour; and not once did he smile, not even at his own jokes, which shows that he has completely lost the habit. But I think you would look worried, too, if you felt you had the moral de- meanor of this great city resting on your very slender shoulders. Hopes Women Appro He seemed to. be glad to ‘vote his Opinions to a woman, for he thinks the women are largely on his side. So, when he sank into his chair beneath the portrait of Gov. Folk, and while he looked away off out the window and told me something of the work he still intends to do, I made a sketch of him. The wicked-looking bottles which so unfortunately got mixed up into the background are contraband goods which were confiscated, and samples which have not been sampled, he explained to me. “T have been in office three years. I have one more year to serve, and my work is not finished yet,’’ he said to me. ‘Last summer I met the Excise Com- missioners of the United States in the East, and looked into the work which has been done in other cities. I found that nowhere are the dramshop laws so strictly enforced as in St. Louis. Boston as a Model. “But St. Louls might learn from Bos- ton how to improve these laws. In that city, which has as large a population during business hours as our city, the saloons are limited in number to 1000, and the privte of a license is fixed at $2700. They close at 11 o'clock every week night. “We have reduced the number of sa- loons from 2700 to 2100, but the price of a license is still $724. And we think we do well to keep them closed on Sun- days.’’—— “Are you at heart a Prohibitionist?” I asked. “Oh, no, nor even a total abstainer, though I do put the lid on myself now and then. I intend to double the Lenten season this year, and to go thirsty 100 days—just to show myself that I am master. Be Careful, His Advice. “One of the reasons why I insist upon and advise all liquor dealers to stick Close within the limit of the law is that otherwise they play into the hands ef the Prohibitionists. The dry party has an argument in its favor when the saioon keeper can be held up as an un- scrupulous outlaw.”’ “Then you have no personal grudge against the saloon business?’’ “No; I know many saloon keepers who are honest men and gentlemen, and I would elevate the saloon business; but they suppress themselves when they are not open and on the square. ‘There should be no screens or any sort of mystery about a saloon. Small Saloon an Evil. “The large dealers and brewery men should be with me in this suppression and weeding-out business; they should have foresight enough to see that the STRONG AS A MULE. Farmer Gets Power from Food.

Anyone can better his condition, if eati oy 2 food, by changing to the right mie ig becoming well known among all classes of people in this country that strength of mind and body come from the nourishment that is taken into the system in the form of food, A cowboy whose stomach got all out of order on a ranch went to farming and incidentally found the cause of his trouble and the way out of it. He writes: “TI was raised on a cow ranch, lived like the rest on beef and potatoes, often eating too much, until my stom- ach became so weak and I was so run down I had to quit the job. “Then t tried farming but did not ster any better, My nerves were al] un- strung and.I could not sleep at night. A year ago I saw an ad. about Grape- Nuts being such a wonderful food, and - told my wife I was going to try it. % “Bo I bo t a box of Grape-Nuts | salty bet eo ee food two weeks -the weakness began to 184 Ibs., GrapeN as ‘ eat Nuts for bre and I also take some as _@ lunch bet meals.

small dealer only hurts the liquor busi- ness. “The proprietor of a small saloon must needs eke out his living with side lines; hence he brings in billiard and card tables and other attractions. High licenses and strict regulation will save the liquor business.”’ “And why should these harmless amusements be without the pale of the law?’ I asked. Just Enforcing Law. I cannot tell you; I did not I only enforce them. I bowling, even ‘That make the laws, do not indulge in billiards or but I consider them harmless, healthful amusements.’’ “But you would like to see St. Louis turned Bostonese, notwithstanding our difference temperamentally and _ geo- graphically ?’’ “Our laws fundamentally are not dis- similar. If they are too old-fashioned for the rising generation, they should be revised. I liked Boston very much.”’ Too Busy to Be Cordial. “Had you heard that in some quar- ters you have been selected for the of- fice of Circuit Attorney?” I asked him. “Yes, I have heard it, but I have been too busy to listen to it. I have been so busy that I have not had time to prac- tice my profession, but’’—and this with his nearest approach to a smile, ‘‘I think I have made it busy for the other fel- low, too.”’ And as I passed out through the ante- room, I could easily believe him, for there was a group of big, husky men, five deep, all clamoring to see Mr. vihill. WOMAN PAYS FOR COCAINE WITH HER BABY’S LOCKET Twenty Wedding Rings Sacrificed for Drug Shown: During Trial in Chicago. CHICAGO, April 17.—A baby’s locket, given by its mother in payment for cocaine, to which she is a slave. was one of the exhibits In the Des Plaines Street Court yesterday. Among other articles shown in court that had been paid to criminals for co- caine were 20 wedding rings, given over by women who are victims of the habit. Jim Hing, styled “king of the West Side cocaine traffickers,” who for the last year has been operating a cocaine “dispensary” as a laundry, was fined $550 by Judge Wells as a result of the trial. Sam Kee, his partner, was fined $56 for keeping an opium resort. CHILD MOURNS FOR LOST Dog Have you seen a black and white fox terrier, with a very short tail and an affectionate disposition?

CARRY GRAIN TO NEW ORLEANS Merchants’ Exchange Discusses Pro- ject of Financing Line to Com- pete With Railroads. A of barges for the St. Louls-New Orleans trade may be financed by the Merchants’ Exchange. A meeting has been called for next Tuesday to consider the proposition. The plan is to transport grain in bulk, and it is said this may be done with fair profit by charging only half the present railroad rates. Members of the Exchange are-interested in the plan on the assumption that it will vastly in- crease the grain trade here. The plan is to build four towboats and 20 steel barges of modern pattern. They could navigate with only 7% feet of water, which would make it possible to keep them moving practically all line steel year.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 17.—President Roosevelt is considering sending another special message to Congress urging the completion of his legislative program.

TIn that case he will ask for the passage of an antt-injunction bill and the Civic Federation bill amending the Sherman anti-trust act. \ The President is a trifle upset at see- ing four battleships whittled down to two and if he sends in another special message probably it will be conserva- tive and mild. He has received a great number of let- ters and telegrams from different parts of the country urging him not to esur- render. These messages have led him to the conclusion that the people are still with him, PIERCE DIVORCE CASE IS TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT Briefs on Law Points Are to Be Considered by Judge.

Many of them ram out into the corridors scantily clad, but none of them fainted because a burst ammonia tank came to tae rescue as a volunteer smelling bottle. The explosion shook the »>uilding, but no damage was done outside the engine room. Fifty persons in the dining room were momentarily panic-stricken,. but they were reassured by members of the Car- dinal baseball team, who told them that the noise they heard was merely the Pittsburg team blowing up. Cc. W. Rogers and Homer Posey, 4 negro elevator boy, had narrow escapes. Rogers had just left the engine room to repair a heater on one of the upper floors.

CHICAGO, April 17.—The operations of a youthful postage-stamp thief in Chicago have brought about a change in the Federal regulations governing the use of stamps. Incidentally, the boy, who was in- strumental indirectly in bringing about this change in the law, has reformed. Who he is probably never will be made public, as a machine manufacturer in whose employ he was is guarding his identity carefully. It was some months ago that the un- named boy was discovered selling stamps to a downtown confectioner, In- vestigation disclosed that the man was carrying on a brokerage business in stamps which were stolen by office boys and messengers. Secret-service men discovered there was no way of stopping the business or prosecuting the “broker.’’ The con- Posey had stepped from his elevator to the first floor when the crippling of the engine caused the empty car to shoot upward and collide with the roof.

The plan consists of perforating the ltintials of the purchaser in stamps. By this means, it is believed, the theft and sale of stamps by employes will be stopped.

Only Evening Paper in St. Louis with both Associated Press and United Press Service ~ PAGES 13—24. ~~ HERE IS A PAGE OF NEWS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO WO WIFE IN NAME. ONLY EXPLAINS HER ATTITUDE Mrs. Richards Thinks Parent- hood Right, but Not for Her and Husband. SEPARATED IN _ SPIRIT Daughter of Former Senator Reconciled to Martyrdom to Her Belief. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 17.—Disappoint- ed at not finding him in sympathy with her spiritual ideals, Mrs. George Rich- ards is reconciled to a separation from her husband, Lieutenant-Colonel Rich- ards of the Marine‘Corps. He is suing for the divorce on the ground that, dur- ing the nine years of their married life, she refused to become his wife in fact as well as in name.” ' Mrs. Richards says that, while she believes in parenthood, where the par- ents “are sufficient y elevated spiritu- ally,”’ she does not velieve it would be right in the case of herself and her husband. “Because of the ineradicable differ- ence in our spiritual ideals, the parting of our ways was inevitable,’ she says, and she looks forward to “spiritual un- folding,’’ during which she can strive for perfection apart from the husband, who, she thinks, is still wandering in spiritual darkness. Spiritually considered, Mrs. Richards feels that the relations of herself and Col. Richards were as those of the hare and the tortoise. The distinguished young naval officer cannot, his wife feels, keep up the spiritual pace which she has set. Mrs. Richards says that not only are her spiritual ideals far in advance of those entertained by Col. Richards, but they are also indefinitely higher than those of the vast majority of mankind. Must Be a Martyr. “T must be martyred for my beliefs now,” she says, “ag are all those who pay the penalty for being ahead of the times, but the time will come when these ideals will have conquered all humanity.” . The social prominence of both has at- tracted much attention to the case. Col. Richards, one of the best known officers in the Marine Corps, is the brother of *“*—John E. Richards, Attorney-General of Ohio, and has hosts of friends in the navy and club circles. His wife is the daughter of former Senator Roger @Q. Mills of Texas, who represented his State in Congress for 26 years and was the author of the Mills bill, a tariff measure introduced during his chair- manship of the Ways and Means Com- mittee. “Although I have realized for some time past the break between Col. Rich- ards and myself must come,’’ she said to a Post-Dispatch correspondent, ‘‘yet I was much surprised when this action was brought. It has put an Imputation upon me under which it is very difficult for a pure-minded woman to rest. The charge of fraud is especially hard for me to bear. Doesn't Oppose Marriage. “All my life long I have been an earnest student of spiritual problems, The views that I hold concerning mar- riage I have always held ever since I was old enough to think of such ques- tions. So far from thinking marriage sinful and immoral, as I am charged with doing, I consider it one of the most sacred things in human life. I think there should be absolute spiritual har- mony between husband and wife, that they should be really one. “Parenthood I consider the holiest re- lation in life, and I think that all young people should be educated to regard it as e most sacred responsibility they can fake upon themselves. I think the crime of irresponsible parenthood is the greatest sin of the age. “Both man and woman should have perfected themselves as far as they pos- sibly can before they undertake to rear a child, for children are the most per- fect expression of the God-nature that we know. No matter what environment may make him, no matter what he may allow himself to become, there is no 7 doubt that the child at its birth is an | = tncontaminate soul.

PLENTY OF SEAT ROOM if Crowding Results, One Pas- tor Says, Headgear Can Be Checked. worn to St. Louis churchés Eas- ter Sunday morning, or any other Sunday morning, with serene se- curity. Not one St. Louis minister has admitted, when questioned, that he has any objection whatever to the charming millinery of the season. There is an ulterior admission in this as well. Given an opportunity, if men will not express disapproval, there is the deduction that they do secretly ap- prove. Assuming that the ministers who have been questioned are repre- sentative men, fair femininity has scored another point in the inquiry, “Why do women adorn themselves and wear charming clothes?” Obviously the answer is: Because their attractive appearance is pleasing to the stern, bold men. Oklahoma Man Stern, A minister in Muskogee, Ok. (his name, significantly, does not appear in connection with his remarks), has risen up In his might and declared in sonorous tones: “The Merry Widow hat must go. “Our congregations are being broken up by the Merry Widow hat. “With the Merry Widow hats on the front seats, what’s the use of anyone else- coming in? They cannot see the minister, and he cannot see them, “With the Merry Widows, only one person can sit now where formerly three persons sat. “What's the use trying to compete with the new canopies that are worn? “Men will not attend church because of the Merry Widow hats!”’ (This minister makes a timely new excuse for men to stay away from church.) Here are some of the expressions of St. Louis ministers: No Money for Hats. The Rev. Jas. N. Philputt, pastor of the new Union Avenue Christian Church: Yes, the hats of this season are large, but the women are sensible; they will find some way to avoid difficulties on that account when they attend church, We have been spending all our money for a new church this year, we haven't any left for Merry Widow hats. No, the men would not be frightened away by the canopy-like hats. On the contrary, they «would be more likely to go to church to see them. (The new church has a seating ca- pacity of 1300. If every woman wore a Merry Widow hat and occupied the room of three, there would only be room for 866 2-3 women in the church. A few men, if they were small, couid nestle under the sheltering brims of the hats.) M ERRY WIDOW hats m be Provide a Checkroom. The Rev. Columbus Polk Goodson, King’s Highway Presbyterian Church: What if Merry Widow hats are big and broad? They are the style, and women like to look nice on Easter Sunday. As to the view of the preacher being shut off from those in the back, there is something in that, but every one isn’t wearing 36-inch hats. I have noticed the size of the hats on the street, but I have not been disturbed about it in church. I think a good plan would be for the churches to provide check rooms, so that the women might lay aside their hats during the service. Then there would be no difficulty about space enough for three women being taken up by one with a big hat. I think it would work more good, in that there be no temptation for the women (or men) to study styles in- stead of listening to the sermon. I tink the preacher jhould be given the same consideration that is customarily be- stowed upon other persons before them, as in entertainments. The Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Niccolls, Second Presbyterian Church: It undoubtedly takes more room to seat the congregations than it did for- merly, but I don't pay much heed to FLESH SORES HEAL QUICKLY After further investigation it has been found that there has actually been discovered a liquid that can heal any flesh sore.

I have heard some complaint about the big hats, but I guess we won’t act until they begin to charge two fares on the street cars for the women wearing them. J «ze Rev. Samuel Sale, Temple Shaare Emeth: I haven’t noticed that the hats are larger than usual this year. I guess I am behind the tinies. As to the crowding in church, it might be such a thing could happen just when the bonnets are new, but perhaps the women will have compassion on the men. Women Not So Bad. The Rev. Dr. Fayette L. Thompson, Lindell Avenue Methodist Church: It has been my observation that the average woman of our congregations to- day does not clothe herself in gorgeous or extreme raiment when she goes to church. She does not attend services for the display of her most elaborate hats and gowns, but rather dresses in a manner suitable for the devotional na- ture of the place. I have observed that some of the hats are large, but I know of the ‘Merry Widow” hats only by name. I think the women who attend church Easter Sunday will be arrayed in becoming and appropriate style. I think there will be no difficulty about there being ample room for all of the women, men and millinery. Men Can See “Bills.” The Rev. Dr. John F.. Cannon, Grand Avenue Presbyterian Church: I haven’t heard any complaint at all about Merry Widow hats. The Musko- gee minister must have imagined his complaint. I feel sure there will be room for all who wish to attend church, Easter or any other time, in spite of the season's large hats. I do not think the men will make the slightest objection to having their view of the Sninister shut off by the hats. They might be glad if the bills for the hats could be eclipsed as easily. Good for Parasols. The Rev. Dr. Harris H. Gregg, Washington and Compton Avenues Presbyterian Church: We will be glad to have the women at- tend our church wearing the Merry Widow or any other style of hats. I have never heard any objection to them. If it is customary to wear hats large enough to serve as parasols, that sure- ly will be a saving in buying the latter. Every cloud has a silver lining, you know. The Rev. Father Francis Gilfillan, New Cathedral Chapel: It is the minister's place to preach the Troublesome Stomachs. So many digestive disorders afflict men and women now that a select pre- scription has been secured from a great Battle Creek specialist who of- fers it freely to those who cannot take sanitarium treatment. Its use for a few weeks is said to completely restore the digestive functions, increase the strength and cure nervousness, in- somnia and all symptoms of a dis- tressing nature due to such disorders.

Unawares they passed each other on the ocean, and when Flora arrived in De- troit, anticipating a joyful reunion with the husband whom she had not seen for four years, Felix was looking for her in a little village in Austria. Mrs. Biniak has now been in Detroit nine months. Her 4-year-old_ child, whom she took across the water with her, has been an additional drain on her meager means of support, and she is now in destitute circumstances. The woman with whom she has lived at 200 Thirty-third street claims she can no longer support Mrs. Biniak and her child. “I would never have come to Detroit to surprise my husband,” said Mrs. Bin- lak, today, speaking through an inter- preter, “if the neighbors in our little village had not always been telling me that Felix had forgotten me, and never intended to see me again. So I got enough money somehow to come here and see if it were true. Oh, if I could only see my man! I think I will go crazy, if he does not come and see me."’ There is a probability that Mrs. Bin- iak will be deported to Austria by the United States Government if her hus- band does not join her, unless she shows that she can properly provide for her- self and child. It was only a short time ago that the probability of another Austrian couple passing each other on the ocean was narrowly averted. Steve Szoke of Del- ray had sent money to his wife in the old country to pay for her passage to Detroit. Steve did not give her time to make the trip before he became de- mented over her nonappearance. He was making arrangments to go to the old country, when he was confined in St. Mary’s Hospital. a - » Sweetheart Attempts to Flee to i : ‘a Attire, but Is Captured by Sisters- me Corpus Writ Defeats Church M ont fe o? eS Special to the Post-Dispatch.

The novice was released by a writ of habeas corpus, upon proving that she was of legal age. ried as soon as the girl's mother ar- rives in Omaha. Miss Tinsley’s mother, then a widow, placed her, a mere child, in the con- vent seven years ago, that she might be educated religiously. Eventually she joined the sisterhood. About six months ago Hirsch, a hand- some, light-haired fellow of 25 years, came here from Chicago and got em- ployment in the laundry of the convent. One day he saw Miss Tinsley leaning over the railing of the elevator shaft on the floor above the laundry looking down on him. She-had never heard a man’s voice since she entered the con- vent, save when a priest delivered a sermon there. She had never been out- ride the convent walls, her daily exer- cise in its courtyard was taken in si- lence and always in company with older sisters. Made Love by Telepathy. Again and again the girl, a brunette of beautiful figure, returned to the rail- ing and looked down, however fleetingly, on Hirsch. Not a word passed between them, of course, but they did make love telepathically. Three months ago they began to write to each other, exchang- ing notes, hidden in the bundles of laun- dry which each nun makes up. The girl dropped a nun’s garb down the shaft to her lover a fortnight ago. The slender, smooth-faced Hirsch put on the robes and, dropping the veil which the nuns wear when outside their corridors, again and again entered the hall whcre Florence roomed, @with- out being detected. . For the first time she listened to a man express his love; the danger of discovery made the secret love-making more piquant to her. He described to her life in the world; he brought her books and magazines. The stories she read seemed to tell her of a fairyland which lay only beyond the conYent walls.

Can Seat Them All. The Rev. Dr. W. J.

I have not noticed any necessity for restricting women’s hats. I do not an- ticipate any difficulty whatever about seating Easter churchgoers. Hasn't Any Opinion. Dean Carroll M. Davia, Christ Church Cathedral: How should I know any- thing about Merry Widow hats? Min- isters have something more important to think about. I haven’t any opinion about the subject. Better Not Interfere. The Rev. Dr. William J. Williamson, Third Baptist Church: Millinery is some- thing about which a minister is not privileged to express an opinion. Any man engages in dangerous business if he attempts to suggest, let alone dictafe. what style of hat a woman should wear or where she should wear it. I think we will have to let the fair members of our congregations wear. what they please. If the hats take up too much room or if they interfere with their neighbors (the men or the women) the sufferers will regulate the matter. This reminds me of a funny little thing I Witnessed on a street car a day or so ago. Three young women, all of the same height and all wearing very large hats, got on. the car and found seats together. As they tried to talk together their three hats continually interfered and bumped each of the others in the eyes, on the neck and hair. Finally the humor of the situation dawned upon them, as it had on the observers, and they all laughed, but had to give up their tete-a-tete.

So far as the individual consumer is concerned this is the most obvious point of attack and Mr. Kennish advises anyone who may feel aggrieved t) make the issue by refusing to pay more than the average price and then applying for an in- junction to restrain the Trust from withholding service. This would bring the case squarely be- fcre the courts. Where so much complaint is made it ought not to be difficult *o find a consumer who will not hesitate to devote time and money to the estab- lishment of an important principle, and yet the case is one which should appeal to the law depart- ment of the city itself. In the broader aspects of the controversy Mr. Kennish appears to entertain no doubt that the North Amer’can Trust can be dissolved by the Siate as a mere holding company and that La- ciede Gas and Union Electric, natural competitors tut in fact satellites of the North American, can | be successfully assailed as monopolies in restraint of-trade.. These points will be urged by him pres- ently ‘fn bills which he will file in the courts. Meantime more immediate relief may be looked for through action as above indicated on the part of individual consumers. The strange unwilling- ness of Americans to go to the courts for the re- dress of wrongs which are public in their nature Las often been remarked upon. It is this re- luctance, imposed upon outrageously, which is accountable for many a monopoly and many an al use. Fear of publicity, of expense and of persecution by the interests assailed has deterred some men from asserting themselves, but in most cases it is probable that a too-confident belief in the efficacy of public prosecutions has contributed to the in- difference of individuals. What is everybody’s business is nobody’s business, and it is only re- cently that public officers have been moved to act energetically in behalf of the people. One victim of monopoly demanding justice in the courts would be worth more in behalf of jus- tice in the concrete than many suits brought in behalf of cities, states or nation. One man can set the whole machinery of the law in motion, ard, if correctly advised, he can summon to his aid every important law officer of the State. Some of the most far-reaching victories for human rights have been gained in behalf of one humble victim of wrong who did not hesitate to take his case into court. Attorney-General Kennish gives excellent ad- vice in this matter and it should be heeded by the pecple of St. Louis. ine . wry THE DESERTED MOTHER OF SIX. The character of the St. Louis deserted mother o: six shines by contrast with the other charac- tcrs in the sad drama of a dual household dark- ened by an elopement. Her character indeed shines out of the hopelessness Of the situation in which she is left without support by an irre- sponsible husband with “artistic” aspirations who induced a woman of fresher years and beauty, the wife of his friend, likewise to desert her obliga- tions and depart with him for a “career.” The deserted mother of six makes no outcry against the stage-struck affinities. She will not pursue them; there will be no reprisals; her re- ligion forbids her considering divorce. Neither will she forgive. She asks no sympathy of the public, but avoids speaking of herself. Yet hers is not the silence of a crushed spirit; it is the dignity of womanhood which, though ever so quietly asserted, rises superior to the situation. She turns to her children—she will keep up the struggle of life for them. True only to the noblest of her instincts, what a fight can the frailest of women make! We gee brave weakness somehow succeeding unassisted and without means against all of the odds and ali of the sorrows that crush the strong. There is a certain heroism of humility which not only bears up under its wounds but discovers a re- sourcefulness to fight its way. How often is sheer spirit seen to win for women especially, and it is within human experience that sacrifice may even come to know a kind of rarified happiness. We trust that this. deserted mother of six, bereft of all save a true pride, a brave attitude and the exalted instincts and purpose of mother- hood, may yet by grace of Providence succeed for herself and her children, and in the deeper experience of life find bitterness even turned to happiness. -. = -* “Yates Criticises Deneen” and “Deneen Attacks Yates” are newspaper headlines descriptive of the Republican situation in Illinois which appeal powerfully to every Democrat in the State who has ever had gubernatorial ambitions.

A large city like ours ought to provide toilet ac- commodations in the downtown districts. On Sunday at Third and Washington avenue the condition is frightful. Hundreds may be found looking for such accommodations, but there are none, as all the busi- ness houses are closed. Many visitors come over the Eads Bridge on Sunday from neighboring towns, and the writer has heard many of them criticise our town because we neglected to provide anything of the kind. TREBLIG. A Man With a Wig. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Cannot refrain from replying to “Inqulsitive's’’ letter. Am a young man, but am quite bald, and, to save myself a great deal of embarrassment, also to improve my looks, wear a wig, and no one is the wiser. Of course, I confided this to my best girl and she did not seem to mind it the least; said I was perfectly right in hiding this fact from the pub- lic at large. I certainly cannot see anything wrong in a girl, therefore, trying to fix her hair more be- comingly by using some false hair. ARTHUR. Good Brewers Might Solve It. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While the average American knows all about Jef- ferson’s ‘“‘inalienable rights,’’ the German-American’s ‘‘personal rights’’ are something new to him. The South St. Louis orators should explain. For the rest I believe with the Post-Dispatch: It is not so much the breweries we object to as the brewers. A recon- structed set of brewers, sufficiently intelligent to com- prehend the great responsibilities of their profession and under heavy bond to the State for all unlawful acts of the saloon, would go far toward solving the prohibition problem. CITIZEN. E. W.’s 2 Lbs. for 35c Butter. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. E. W. says he is not eating stale bread or oleo. No, but he is eating cotton-seed oil. I guess he came from the backwoods and don’t know what oleo butter at two pounds for 3 cents is. E. W. won't last long in town. I am an oleo dealer and I never sold oleo for as low as two pounds for 35 cents. I sell my oleo for from 25 to 33 cents per pound. I have had some of the lower class of negroes ask for the two for 35 cents kind, but I always told them that since the pure food law was in effect that it wasn’t allowed on the market. AN OLEO DEALER, Renter Wants a Home. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have often read in your paper about improved property for sale on time payments, but as soon as a person inquires about the property, the first ques- tion asked is: “‘How much money have you got to pay down?” Now, why do not the landlords let a good tenant move into the house and let the rent pay for the house without any ready cash? I am a married man and pay $14 per month, which could be paid on my own home if I could get a chance to buy one without any cash down. WOULD-BE OWNER. The $1.50 a Day Man. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Since my inquiry about how a man earning only $1.50 a day and working only in favorable weather, say an average of five days a week, can support a family, I notice that several persons have figured on how low a cost they supply their tables, but none have figured below ,$17 a month, and that one has been ridiculed by the others. Now, if $17 a month is the lowest estimate for furnishing the ta- ble, how much should be added for rent, fuel, cloth- ing and other necessities, and how much could be saved out of a possible $30 a month that a laboring man might earn at that rate of wages? I would be glad to have someone figure it out so that I may know where I am at. A LABORER. A Parting Shot at Woman. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The women have their rights, of course, and are heard in their homes and in the newspapers, too: but I think it unfair that shé should be all the cheese. I tell you she is mad about dress and adorning her- self. As sure as you are a foot high, her morals and conscience are at a low ebb. And further. this condition of her ego is reflecting itself in most of the men who walk the earth this modern time. My ideas. here expressed, is a sort of parting shot or farewell to the feminine gender. For as for my part, I have passed the three-quarters post in life’s course, and am now in the stretch, going home in the middle of the road, alone, happy as a lark. So good-by, milady.

The automobile stopped on North Tenth street. “This is very interesting,’’ the guide explained. “It is where the Bellefon- taine cars jump the track.’’ The visitors to the city sat up and took notice. There was a car in sight. It came bowling along, hit a kink in the track and turned over twice. ‘‘Mercy!”’ cried one of the “does every car do that?’’ “Do that? Why that’s nothing!” the guide exclaimed. ‘‘Watch this one!” The sightseers turned their attention from the wreck to a second car which had just come in sight. It took the kink beautifully, and turned over four times. The ladies in the auto screamed, but the men clapped their hands, and the guide said: ‘‘That’s more like it. Some-of them turn six times, but we can’t wait. We must be at Jefferson and Olive at 10 o’clock if we are to see Frank Hussey arrested.” Honk-honk! ladies, And they were off. ‘How many times have you moved?” “One ruined chiffonir, two broken brass beds, three mirrors smashed to smithereens, one table leaf lost, and two clocks crushed.”’ “Are your streets lighted with elec- tricity ?’’ “Yes. Since the town voted dry, we have no use for lamp posts.’’ “J have a scheme to solve the immi- gration problem.” “What is it?’’ “Adopt national prohibition,” “Mamma, was your first marriage a love match?” “No, dear; it was a divorce match.” “Are they happy?” “IT think so.

Aunt Abbie annually asked Andrew and Andrew an- nually accepted, and autumn after au- tumn arrived at Andover as arranged. Andrew, attractively attired, arrived and asked Aunt Abbie about apples. Aunt Abbie answered: “Ay, Andrew, apples are abundant.” Andrew ate an apple, and Aunt ..obie asked Andrew's assist- ance about arranging asters. Andrew always assisted Aunt Abbie, and Auni Abbie appreciated Andrew's amiable acie. Aunt Abbie’s asters artistically arranged, Andrew asked Aunt Abbie about afternoon amusements. Aunt Ab- bie allowed Andrew any agreeable amusements appropriate and attainable, Andrbw ardently admired Algernon Ar- nold, architect, and also Algernon’s ad- jacent abode. Andrew's absorbed atten- tion attracted Algernon. Andrew accom. panied Algernon around Andover, asking about architecture, and Algernon accom modatingly answered all Andrew asked. As afternoon advanced, Andrew again arrived at Aunt Abbie's abode, and An- drew and Algernon’s appearance allayed Aunt Abbie’s anxieties about Andrew's absence. Andrew's abstracted air attract- ed Aunt Abbie’s attention, and Aunt Abbie asked about Andrew's afternoon amusement. Andrew's animated account amused Aunt Abbie.

| DOMESTIC PARIS. P ates is the best advertised mu-

nicipality in the world. People have been writing about it ever since Mr. J. Caesar came along and added the three parts of Gaul to his imperial estate, writing about it and throwing side-lights on the forbidden things one can do there and still main- tain a respectable standing in society, because what is forbidden elsewhere is forgotten in Paris, says Samuel G. Blythe in Everybody’s. The core of Paris, the tourist Paris, the Paris that is Gay Paree, organized for and supported by foreign money, Is one great conglomeration of restaurants, cafes, brasseries, hotels, moving-picture shows, theaters, phonograph parlors, shops where there are three prices—the lowest for the French, the next low- est for the English and the highest for the American—and American bars. This is no more the real Paris than the Benderloin is the real New York, but it passes for that with most people who go there, and the provident French, having methodical minds, notwithstand- ing their artistic tendencies, put on their shows. collect their tolls, and consider it all in the day’s work. ‘the Parisian who lives and works outside this core —i¢ would not be fair to call it heart— frusyfal, hard-headed and in- cdustrious, sensible and self-respecting. And the idea that all Parisians are carcless, imthoral and non-domestic gets a rude shock when one goes to the parks on a Sunday feast day. The or- dinary Parisian goes picnicking with shis whole family—father, mother, chil- TAren, and all. There are hundreds of KP ivese little family groups on any fine Sunday, eating beneath the trees or on the lawns, aid playing games. They are the -people who enable the Bank of France to maintain more gold than En- gland and Germany have together—the most domestic people on earth. is thrifty,

Gin a body kiss a body, comin’ through the rye: Gin a bof kiss a body. need a body cry? ALWAYS thought it was a field of rye. When I sang the funny thing | Scotchily to myself, I saw a scarlet-mouthed lassie, waist deep in the yel- low rye, with her arms outspread over its gold and the wind in her hair! And I saw a gay-plaided laddie coming a long way off, and when they came close the plaided laddie kissed the scarlet-mouthed lassie, and they laughed in each other's faces and passed and waded on tirough rhe bending, gilded head- ed rye, looking over their shoulders at one another. But it isn’t that way, angelfaces. This is it: There’s a bit of a river called the Rye: and in one little place where the water runs shallow the worn stones troop down from the grass- land and across the water in little groups to the other side: and the lads and lassies may cross here, from stone to stone, oer the blue water. And the lassies, most times, squat on the turf and peel off their best shoes and white stockings before. they go, because the curling water might wet the buckles and shine of them. And then my Lass hikes her petticoat high in one brown hand, and dan- gles her shoes and stockings in the other, and hops from stone to stone in her naked feet. And it fs so here-—-because there is always a meeting of other folk on the stones of the Rye—that if a Lad meet a Lass while she's going through the Rye, he may kiss her mouth, whether she frowns or laughs. And you can see that she can’t fight, or warm his ears. or run away, stranded on a sleek bit of a rock with the water waving all around, so that it makes one’s head turn, and her one hand full of skirt, and the other gripped round the best shoes and the white stockings that she loves better than Sandy—and her Sandy nowhere within the circle of the horizon to help. One can see! And one wonders if a body does cry. Angelfaces, I bet the white-footed, red-mouthed lass teeth at the departing shape of the bold, bad Laddie, and as handsome as Sandy. Scotland has her Rye, where the lads may kiss the lassies: and England has stiles, where a kiss is a toll, and you can quarrel on the other side until you give it; but here there isn’t anything but the mistletoe, and that snows a'l her white thinks he’s most

i aa "Cardinal Get Another Arctic Circle Trouncing Thursday From the Pirates—Six BY JOHN Pitchers Used. FE. WRAY Sporting Editor Post-Dispatch. Manager McCloskey is burning a few incense sticks at the shrine of tlic weather god today. After watching his men work with brittle fingers in the two Pittsburg games, and noting the tendency of the batted or thrown ball to richochet from the mitts of his shivering men, Jawn has decided that the tem- perature, not the Pittsburg team, was responsible for the defeat of the Carii- nals. Wherefore John prays the weather chief to enjoin said frost. king from interferin Jawn's explanation may be right as to the relation of temperature to errors, as may be deduced from the number of errors hung up by the numb digits of the gentlemen in red yesterday. There were six officially, seven most of us thought. And at times it seemed that the total to be marshalled into the error column would exceed space limits. There were all varieties on display by the Cardinals—plain muffs like Dele- hanty’s in the tenth; artistic muffs, per- petrated by Gilbert in handling throws; and muffs with frills on to satisfy the whims of the specialist. Pirates Miscue but Once. The Pirates got away with but one error and this rather knocks in the head the complaint of McCloskey that the weather man has ruined his team’s chances. To trace the cause of defeat through the mazes of yesterday’s dia- mond labyrinth required Sherlock Holmes and four bloodhounds. Equipped with this aid the seeker after baseball light found mysterious footprints right at the entrance to the game. At this point the information hounds started on @ run, but before penetrating far they came across the manly form of Gilbert. Gilbert was caught red-handed. He had already missed one perfect throw made by Hostetter and was de- tected in the act of letting a second one get away, with the net result of about four runs in two innings. Gilbert immediately retreated and the information hounds followed fast. Further in the mazes of the game, how- ever, they lost him, the trail being erossed and recrossed by other makers of baseball history—that is the error part of it, for that the original offender ‘got away. In fact, Sherlock and party never arrived at the center of informa- tion as to why and who were responsible skeyites, or who was largely responsible. What Really Did It. But—in your ear, please—we think it Was Billy Gilbert's butter fingers, Sal- lee’s wildness, errors by Hostetter, Keoney and others that caused the tFouble. If it wasn't that, then it was because the Pirates hit too hard and fan bases too rapidly. Fromme started: badly -in the first, after one was down. His own wild throw to Koney gave Leach a life, which Gilbert prolonged by dropping a beautiful throw of F »stetter’s to catch the little one stealing. It was expand- ed into a run by Clarke's single and Fromme went soaring up. Wilson rapped safely and when Swacina came along he hoisted a double to left that added two more to the total. Gilbert added to Fromme’s misery by répeating his drop of a fine throw on Moeller in the very next round. Sallee Next Tried. Fromme was thoroughly fozzled and three hits with a run «ere scored in this round. That was enough for Fromme, and in went Sallee. Sallee jooks a pitcher—in quantity. From hair restorer to moccasions the shortest dis- ai eet .rescued. with or causing to be interfered with, or in any way conspiring to temper with the thermomoter for the remainder of the season, under penalty of imposing a tail-end team on St. Louis. tance, to the naked eye, seems about 6 feet 3. In actual was trying to prevent hits by posing bases on balls. and, coupled with misplay by O’ Rourke, was tugging away at the anchor ropes ‘reddy to surge upward, when McGlynn was sent to the slaughter. McGlynn is the real thing in pitchers and he held the Pirates down nicely. The mischief was done, however, and when the inning finally wound up nine runs were totaled to the visitors’ credit. That was all, for Stony had a hard heart and reall would not relent the remainder of the game. @ The Worm Turns. It was about this time,-the fifth in- ning, that the worm began to turn. His back bent up at Maddox in the pre- vious round and had tallied one run. Incensed at the terrible treatment of Sallee by Pittsburg, it turned and waded into Maddox until running him to the bench and sending out Deacon Philippe. The deacon came on the field chilled and without time to save his orisons before going to the slaughter. The Car- dinal worm jumped him furiously from the start and two bases on balls and two smart raps by Koney and O'Rourke resulted in three runs before he was A single, a triple and three bases cn balls netted two more tallies and the Cardinals were pulling for a tie. Lefty Leifield was sent to the center rush’s job and he stemmed the tide for the remainder of the game. Hard to Coucillate. When figuring the form of the Cardi- nals we will have to get other basis for’ information than -the Pittsburg games. How to reconcile the work of the Cardinals yesterday and the pre- vious day with that of the team which won two straight from the Browns, is hard to tell. Let the season’s work explain later on.

Charley Jones kissed the bat that mace the single scoring Howell in the tenth inning. Capt. Wallace was happy over.win- ning the game, as he was in charge of the team during Manager McAleer’s ab- sence. : A big floral piece was purchased by the members of the team and expressed to Youngstown, in token of sympathy for Manager McAleer. The latter wired that his mother would be buried Satur- day, but he did not say when he would rejoin the team. Howell was a trifie wild in the first inning along with being touched for three hits. He passed two men In that frame and then only one more during the balance of the game. George Stene made one hit in the game and faved the pitcher five times, and yet went through the game with a batting average of .500. Three times he walked and once was out on a fiy ball, Lajote failed miserably as a batter against Howell. Three times he ground. ed out aud once popped a fiy ball which Howell captured.

"PANTHER BE § BLIND TIGER AS . h “SCARE CAT Folks Around Godfrey, Ill., Are Afraid to Go to Meeting. HOUSER’S ADVENTURE Meets Ferocious Animal That Cusses Him in Jack Lon- don Language.

By Our Own Enterprising Nature- Faker. GODFREY, Ill., April 17.—There’s’ get- ting to be so many wild animals and anti-saloonists around here that a lot of people are threatening to move away. Blind tigers wouldn’t be so bad, but when the panthers get to loafing on the R. F. D. routes, there ain’t no more fun taking your girl out riding. Suppose some time somebody would drive his —- wheel over a panther when he was g0- ing to meeting. When somebody was going to meeting, that is, not when the pan- ther was going. ind suppose the panther got mad. Geeminently, maybe he would- n’t bit the horse in the leg.

Most everybody up this way knows how to cure snake bite, but what's a fel- low going to do if him? That’s what Ed Houser wants to know. He saw one of the critters the other day. He says it was four and maybe five feet long, not counting its tail, and it makes a noise like a fellow hav- his tooth pulled or coughing up his taxes. Ed was driving along in front of the Stamper place when the panther jumped out in the middle of the road and said: “OWOWMEOW- OWOWOWOD M E- OMYOWOW.”’ Maybe you don't think that scared Ed out of a Leap Year’s growth. His fool horse took a notion to go back to the stable and Ma F went with him. The panther sat there in the middle of the road and cussed him in the Jack London language and dared him to come back, but Ed said “not much.”’ Searching parties have been out look- ing for the panther, but it doesn’t look like they're going to catch him, be- cause just as they get busy looking for him some practical joker says ‘““WwOW!”" and they all go chasing back home, FALLS SIXTY FEET, THEN

———p Théy Quietly March Out of Burning Building in 90 Seconds.

(ne thousand pupils of the Blair Pub- lic School, 2707 Rauschenbach avenue, being told by their teachers that a holl- day had been declared by the principal, left the school joyously Friday morning in. ignorance of the fact that fire had broken out in the building. The fire started near the steam-heat- ing coils in Room 17, on the first floor. Twenty children were in e rvom, and they gave startled cries when they saw the smoke. Miss Catherine Lewis walked quietly to that wall and stood in front of the blaze. The children, seeing she was néarest the point of danger, took cour- age, and left the room in order. Miss Lewis told one of the boys to go quietly to Prof. Herzog, the principal, and tell him what had happened. The boy performed his errand very weil. He told none of the other chil- dren what had. happened, but went di- rectly to Mr. Herzog. Mr. Herzog, who has been principal of the school for many years, went (iuickly from room to room of the 24 rooms in the building and told the pupils that he had decided to let them go for the rest of the day. There were shouts of appreciation, but the principal told them he would revoke the privilege if they did not leave the building quietly. So the children very quietly took up their wraps and books, and, in march- fing order, left their rooms. Mr. Her- zogzg meanwhile told the teachers what Wwas up and they used cleverness in keeping the fact from the children. When they were out in the. yard the children then learned what had hap- pened. For smoke was coming out of the room where the fire had started. A still alarm brought one engine com- pany and the fire was put out without difficulty. The emptying of the main school building took a minute and a half. The 200 children in the kinder- garten building were let out of their building immediately after the main building had been emptied. There was no excitement, as they had been kept in ignorance of the real cause of the‘r re- lease. The children were told that they need not come back until Monday, as the damage to the room will take a day or go to repair and as the principal thought that their excitement after learning what had happened would‘ hardly be conducive to study.

Husband Objects to Homage Men Pay His Wife’s Beauty. NEW YORK, April 17.—The marita) troubles of Frank J. Gould, youngest gon of the late Jay Gould, and his wife, who was Miss Helen Kelly, have final- ly resulted in the separation which friends of the couple have expected for several months. A court action is ex- pected to be begun by Mrs. Gould. Mr. Gould has left the family home on Fifth avenue and has taken apartments at the Plaza Hotel,. while his wife and their two children remain at the house, to which they returned only ten days ago after workmen finished repairing damage done by a fire last autumn. While these repairs were in- progress Mr. and Mrs. Gould made their home at the Plaza Hotel. Trouble Seems Family Heritage. Frank Jay Gould is the younge.*'of the six children of Jay Gould, and Is the third of the five who have mar- ried to*experience trouble in his mat- rimonial venture. George Jay Gould, the oldest son, married Miss Edith Kingdon in 1886, and as she was an actress at Daly’s Theater, the family opposed the mar- riage and prophesied all sorts of mis- fortune from the match. George Gould and his wife have seven chil- dren and, with Edwin Gould, who married Miss Sarah Shrady, and Helen Gould, who was never married, are the only ones in the family who have escaped marital troubles. Howard Gould's divorce suit against the wife he married as Katherine Clemmons, the actYfess friend of Buf- falo Bill, was one of the most sen- sational in New York's court history. The details of Anna Gould's life with and divorce from Count Boni de Castellaine are too well known to require even passing mention. Wedding Was Quiet One. Miss Kelly, who was the granddaugh- ter of the late Eugene Kelly, was mar-

If vou are an intelligent, thinking woman, in need of relief froin being run down, nervousness, pain and suffering, then it means much to you that there is one tried and true, honest medicine of KNOWN COMPOSITION, sold by druggists for the cure of woman’s ills. The makers of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, for the cure of weak, nervous, run-down, over-worked, pain-racked women, knowing this medicine to be made up of ingredients, every one of which has the strongest possible indorsment of the leading and standard authori- ties of the several schools of medical practice, are not afraid to print, as they do, the list of ingredients, English, on every bottle-wrapper. The formula of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of n.edical experts, for it contains no alcohol so injurious to delicate women even in small quanti- ties when long continued. Neither does ft contain any narcotics, or other harmtul or habit-forming. drugs, and no agent enters into it that is not «highly recommended by the most ad- vanced and leading medical teachers and authorities of their several schools of practice. These authorities recom- mend the ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for the cure of exactly the same ailments for which this world-famed medicine is advised by its manufacturers. No other medicine for woman’s ills rofessional endorsement as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has received, in the unqualified recom- mendation of each of the several] in- gredients by scores of leading medical men of all the schools of practice. Is such an endorsement not worthy of your consideration? [t certainly is en-

ried to Mr. Gould at her home, 17 East Thirty-second street, on Dec. 2, 1901, only a few members of each faniily be- ing present. ake’ The Rev. Dr. David H. Greer, rector of St. Bartholomew’s Church, performed the ceremony. Immediately thereafter they started on a trip which was to have taken them around the world, but at Bermuda they changed their minds and returned to New York. Jealousy on the part of Mr. Gould, due to the homage men paid to his wife’s beauty, is said to have been the original cause of the trouble. Mother Wtll Not Tatk. Last night Mrs. Gould dined with her mother, Mrs. Edward Kelly. After she had gone Mrs. Kelly refused to discuss her affairs. “IT do not think Mrs. Gould needs any statement or any defense from me,”’ she said, ‘‘or for that matter from anyone else.” “But you know about suit for separation ?’’ “Well, it’s her suit, isn’t it?’’ replied Mrs. Kelly. “I have not a thing to say.”’ Although they have been married only six years, the affairs of Mr. and Mrs Frank Gould have’ attracted a great deal of attention. : From time to time there have been reports of trouble, and in October, 1906, they had reached such a condition that the reported it was said papers for a separation had — been prepared, but the trouble was end- ed by the intervening of one of the Gould family councils. Objected to Mother-in-Law. Soon there was more friction in the family, which ended in Frank Gould denying his mother-in-law the privilege of entering his home. Frank Gould knew Helen Kelly when he was in knickerbockers, and soon aft- er: she was graduated from a convent réports began to be circulated of their engagement. These were denied, and* the age of Miss Kelly—she was. then only li~and the fact that Mr. Gould’s’ family was a Protestant one, while hers was one of the must prominent in Catholic cir- cles In New York, lent force to these denials. Her grandfather, Eugene Kelly, was a liberal giver to the church, and had received inany honors from Rome. How- ever, love won, SLIGHT SCRATCH ON HAND CAUSES DEATH OF MAN L. W. Cherrington of East St. Louis Thought Nothing of Hurt Till Too Late. An accidental scratch on his hand a week ago while sitting in the office of Judge W. J. N. Moyers of the East St. Louis City Court resulted in the death of L. W. Cherrington Thursday night from blood poisoning. He was formerly a railroad conductor, and was an offi- cer in the Order of Railway Conduc- tors. Mr. Cherrington scratched his hand slightly on a chair. He thought noth: ing of the wound, but three days later the hand began to pain him. A phy- siclan wae called and it was found blood poison had developed. He died Thursday night at his home, 69 North Twelfth street, Past St. Louls. He was 67 years old. The funeral will be held Sunday at 2 p. m, from the family residence to Mount Hope Cemetery, under the auspices of the Masonic Ladge and Order of Raiil- way Conductors. Cherrington is sur. vived by four children—Miss Katherine, Seth K., private secretary to Mayor Cook; James CC, and H. M. Cherrington. The members of the Masonic Lodge will meet at Masonic Hall at 1 p. m. Sunday and march to the Cherrington home.

Five hundred thousand hot cross buns were eaten in St. Louis at breakfast and dinner, as part of the observance of Good Friday. This is about twice as many as were eaten on Good Friday last year. The hot cross buns were baked Thurs- day at the four or five bakeries which make a specialty of them, and were delivered as far as possible at the branch bakeries in time to be sold for break fast. Tne eating of hot cross buns on Good Friday is an old English custom. The pagans originated the hot buns. The Christians added the cross. When the Christian missionaries began their work in England, they found the pagans eat- ing the buns all the year around. The missionaries, by way of reminding their converts whenever they ate, had the iuns marked with a cross. Later the use of the buns was confined to re- ligious holidays, and finally to Good Fri- day. As the faithful were expected to fast on Good Friday, or eat but little, it became the custom for housewives to prepare the dough and take it to the priest. He would mark out the quan- the rest. There was a belief that the buns thus marked had merit to stave off misfor- tune, and in many homes they were kept from year to year with the objec.
