PARALYSIS DUE TO SPINE BREAK By Supreme Effort, Brain Re- asserts Control Over In- sensible Leg.

STRUGGLE LASTS DAYS

Thrill Came With First Flutter Showing Return of Con- sciousness,

Physicians at the City Hospital are absorbed in watching the process by which the brain of George T. Moss is slowly but surely extending the froritiers of ite empire throughout his body, in which it was almost completely de- throned ten weeks ago by an accident which half severed his spinal cord in three places. Moss, who is 29 years old, and who lived at 3140 Lafayette avenue, was as- sisting a neighbor in wrecking a house, Feb. 27, when a partition collapsed and bent him into a letter ‘‘V’’ under tons of debris. When he -was examined at the hos- it was found that his backbone had been snapped, three vertebrae be- ing splintered and the fragments crushed into the spinal cord. Delicate Operation, An operation was performed, one of the most delicate in surgery, called laminectomy. The posterior halves of the three injured vertebrae were re- moved, and the covering of the cord was sewed up with silk. No attempt was made to mend the delicate cord it- self, but it was left to its own process of repair. Moss was paralyz pital ed from the base of his ribs to hig feet. A pin thrust into his legs produced no sensation. All con- nection between the lower half of his body and his brain seemed. severed, the doctors believed, permanently. For five days after the operation Moss lay on his stomach, with a dozen pillows under him and his arms strapped down to prevent his moving. The only mo- tion of which he was capable was roll- ing his head from side to side. In a Cast Three Weeks. His body was then enclosed in a plaster cast, which-he wore three weeks. By that time the bones which had been removed were replaced with tough car- tilage, and the two-inch rent in the covering of the cord was healed. He then began the task, which he had once mastered in early infancy, of teach- ing his members obedience to his wil!. For hours he lay, he says, with his mind concentrated on a determination to force his right leg to move. He will never forget the thrill he felt, he says, when, after several days, he could de- tect a silght flutter of movement about the hip joint. By indefatigable efforts of the will, he was able first to repeat and then to increase the flutter to a definite mo- tion of perhaps an inch. Today, several weeks later, he is in high spirits over his ability to move his knee and wriggle his toes. Will Begin on Other Leg. His left leg is still an alien to the sway of his brain, but he will begin re- ' ducing it to obedience soon. With the return of power to stir his, leg, its susceptibility to pain returned, | but as yet only to a slight degree. A sharp pin prick causes him only a dull pain, but he can detect the passage of a hand over any part of his body. The sp:nal column has had to be re- taught its office of supporting the trunk in an upright position. When its strength was sufficient, he was placed in a reclining chair, tilteq at an angle of 4 degrees. Day by day the chair was raised and the backbone gradually jearhed its duty, until now he can sit erect without support for several min. utes at a time. The physicians have every hope for the complete recovery of their remarka- ble patient, of whose life they despaired at first. They say that hi# convalescence will be a matter of months, owing to the difficulty with which the tender fiber of the apinal cord renews itself. CANNIBALS ABOUT TO ROAST BOY WHEN HE IS RESCUED Peruvian Mountaineers Had Him Already Trussed and Scorched With Hot Bricks. SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.—Capt. Hidalgo of the cruiser Almirante Grau of the Peruvian navy, which ia in port, states that although the Almirante must leave before the fleet arrives, thrée other vessels of the Peruvian navy will probably be here. In Pedro Salvado Campa, a boy of 12, the Almirante Grau has the most inter- esting mascot that has ever entered San Francisco harbor. He was rescued from the cannibals in the Peruvian mountains by Lieut. Leon of the cruiser. Leon found the boy in a thatched cot- of the barbarians securely tied to } stake by thougs, which were passe. | His body was cruelly

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 18. — Things move swiftly in Washington these days, and those in the most advanced set are beginning to practice saying ‘‘Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt.’”’ Those who are introducing this phrase have agreed with Mr. Roosevelt that the public is likely to forget him after the moving van has visitéd the White House next March. But they | are not so sure to- day as they were that Washington will have a chance to forget him.

For Uncle An- drew Carnegie has let it be known that he has $25,- 000,000 to spend in endowing a na- tional university in Washington, if Mr. Roosevelt will become its head. Maybe they will call him president, or maybe chancel- lor, but the point is that if he ‘takes the new place, he will still velt-in-the-Public-Eye. $8,000,000 for Buildings. The new university can spend $8,000,000 for bulldings and have an endowment equal to Rockefeller’s Chicago schoo! left. So it Is certain that the president, or chancellor, will have neat and com- modious quarters, and will be able to employ the best assistants In the mar- ket. 7 Athletics, it is expected, will be insist- ed on in the Carnegie-Rodsevelt insti- tution. Reversing the rule of other schools, students will be required to make a certain grade in football, tennis , or track athletics , FORGOTTEN? - before they will be permitted to study Greek or botany. There will have to be a press gal- lery for the Mon- day morning chapel service, and the text, “‘Hit the line hard,’’ be the subject of many a discourse.

WELL IF THIS BE er new university will be a puzzle for the designers, who will have a wealth of emblems to choose from. The Big Stick rampant,. the teeth couchant and the eyeglasses can hardly be neglected, while a Gothic tur- ret or two, representing Skibo Castle, can be tucked away in .a corner. The “‘sigill. coll.”” and other Latin rubbish found on most college seals will give way to something like “T. R.—His Bully School.” Must Be No Mollycoddles. To show that they are no mollycod- dies, the students will now and then take the liberty statue from the dome of the Capitol and put it on the Roose- velt doorstep. It will be necessary to keep a strong guard around the Wash- ington Monument on Halloween. While the new school is building. Mr. Roosevelt, or ex-President Roosevelt, is expected to go around the world. When he comes back there will be enough buildings ready to start the schoo! with. and it will be time for him to get to work, to keep the sentimental boarding house ballad, ‘Forgotten,’ from apply- ing to his case. EMBEZZLEMENT ADDS TO A DRY TOWN’S TROUBLE Taxes Too Low When License Fees Are Stopped and Cash on Hand Taken. RUSHFORD, Minn., April 18.—As the result of the alleged embezzlement of $3200 by the City Clerk and the voting of no license last week, this city is threatened with bankruptcy. The saloon licenses expire April 23. at which time $4500 revenue in licenses will bé cut off. The shortage of City Clerk Alm, who was arrested and pleadeg guilty, brings the loss of revenue almost up to $8000. Neither .contingency was anticipated when the tax levy was made last fall, and.the city has not euffiient money for its needs and no prospect of @ettina any until next ne et The Council has not able as yet to find a way

GETS $205 JUDGMENT

Money Lender Says Client “Played the Baby Act” to Evade Payment.

J. Brooks Johnson, millionaire money lender to the millionaires of St. Louis, a jury in Justice O’Hallaron’s court in a suit which he had brought to force Dr. Ber- nard Manovill of 1239 Clara avenue to The jury not only had the,tables turned on him by pay a claim of $115. refused to allow Mr. Johnson’s’claim, but returned a verdict for $205.50 in favor of the physician, being the amount he had overpald on the loan at the Johnson rates of interest. 1js. Manovill. admitted that he bor- rowed $240 from Johnson from April, 194, to January, 1907. He repaid, he said, all but $115, and alleged that during the time he was paying it back he paid $205.50 more than the claim, at a legal rate of interest. Five Per Cent a Week. According to Dr. Manovill he borrowed $100 April 15, 1904, and paid interest at the rate of 5 per cent a week for 37 weeks, $85 in all. He borrowed several! smalier sums at different periods, pay- ing the same rate of interest, he avers. He says he continued paying on his loans until January, at which time he found that he had paid to Johnson $445.20 on the $240 loan and still owed $115. He claimed that $205.50 was the amount of the usurious interest he had been charged, and the jury so decided. John- son appealed the case. Johnson says that he Dr. Manovill any money until Jan. 16, 1908. He says the physician paid 330 Feb. 15 and then “played the baby act” to get out of paving the balance. Johnson is reputed to be worth $3,000 000 and is happiest when: he is in the thick of a lawsuit. He has been thorn in the side of the United Rail- ways Co. In the capacity of a stock- holder he has forced the street railway company to produce a carload of books for examination. He has bought a lurge amount of judgments against the old Transit Co. and is suing the big stock- to never loaned force them to pay these judgments. His suit is bruught on the theory thet the Transit Co. had to pay its debts before the stockholders were entitled to anything. As the stockholders got two shares of United Railways shares for each of their five shares of Transit stock, he contends that they did get something and that the creditors were shut out. He expects to rin his suit and force the payment ot@iany judg- ments which are now considered worth- less. Seldem Los-s a Suit. Johnson se!cdom loses a lawsuit. be- cause he fights always to the end. The case in Justice O’Hallaron’s court is one of the very few that have been de- cided against him. Many of the richest people in St. Louis borrow money from Johnson and do not complain about his rates of interest. During the trial of one of Johnson's suits against the United Ratiways he was on the witness stand, being exam- ined by Judge Priest. ‘‘Let me see,”’ said Judge Priest, dan- gling his nose glasses in his hand,” you are a money lender, aren't you, Mr. Johnson?" “Yes, I am a money lender, aren't you?’ retorted Johnson, Judge Priest, would you like to know t whm I lan money ?’’ “Oh, no, I answered Judge chuckled. At One Desk 20 Years. Until a few days ago Johnson occupied a amall office on the third floor of the Roe Building. Recently he took a larger office on the fifth floor. He boasts tha: the furniture f his office, bought twenty years ago, cost him less than $5. He sat at an old desk, which was one of his principal office fixtures, and during the last twenty years wrote checks for many millions of dollars. Johnson owns stock in nearly every big money-making institution in §t. Louls and has much valuable real es- tate In St. Louls and elsewhere. He is frugal to a remarkable ex. tent, but he has given his children the very best literary and musical educa- tions that money can buy. His sons and daughters are all accomplished mu- sicilans, and have traveled extensively in Europe and studied In the best conserva. tories of the Old World. He is now living, with his faraily, at the Hamilton Hotel. He is regarded as one of the shrewdest bargain drivers in St. Louis. and frankly tells the men with whom he deals that he is going to get the best of the trade if he can. Every time a rich man runs short of funds he knows that he can get a joan from Johnson. Very few of his custom. ers complain at what the accommoda.- tion costs them, for they are ugually men wher ~~ ble to pay it, didn't ask you Priest, for that,”’ while Johnson

The receipt of a letter with a 3-cent Charles yesterday, baby Duncan near her home, postage stamp affixed by Mrs. Dunean of East St. the abandoned _ girl Louis, asking for found by Mfs. Thursday curiosity. When she hurriedly opened the letter and read: ‘I want the baby, but don't want the public to know about it,” Mrs. Duncan turned the letter over to the East St. Louis Humane Society and notified the police. At the bottom of the letter was the name, Mrs. Mary Galer, 1100 North Kighth street, St. Louis, third floor. The letter stated that the writer was hardly able to come after the baby, and asked Mrs. Duncan to bring it. Mrs. Duncan telephoned to a grocery store near the uddress given and talk+il with a woman who said her name was Marv Galer. When Mrs. Duncan told her she coulj not take the baby to her, an’? that it was in the hands of the Hu- mane Society, the voice told Mrs. Dun- can that she-and her daughter would !e over at noon Saturday to get the litt! one. An elderly woman and a young won.- an, apparently 20 years old, rang the bell at ‘ihe Duncan home later. “We have come for the baby,’’ elderly woman told Mrs. Duncan. It Was explained by Mrs. I%uncan that the matter of the dispvosal of the little girl was now in the hands of the fiu- mane Society, and that she was only its custodian, and that requests for it must be made to the Humane agent. When the elderly woman insisted on taking the baby, at the same time cau- tioning Mrs. Duncan to not aliow it to be given publicity, she was told that negotiations must be with the humane officers. The women visited Humane Officer E. A. Thomas and the younger woman made formal application for the baby, but refused to give her name. Seven other applications for adoption have been made. The future home of the little one will probably be decided upon Monday night at a meeting of the Executive Board of the Humane Society. When n at her home last night. Mrs. Galer said she had decided not to adopt the child because she found too many obstacles. She said she and her daughter desired to have the child for companionship.

NEW YORK, April 18.—In order to make sure that the new Assistant Chief Engineer of the Sag Harbor (Long Is- land) Volunteer Firemen is awakened when an alarm is given, some of the firemen are talking of hitching a rope to his toe and giving it a tug when there’s a fire, for the new Assistant Chief, Albert R.

[PARTNERS QUARREL; TOSS COIN FOR BIG BUILDINGS

yw we Little Ceremony About: Dissolution of Profitable Firm When Long-Time Friends Quar- rel Over Discharge of Employes.’

——_——— CHICAGO, April 18.—By the loss ,of a coin $100,000 worth of South Side Litiga- tion now pending revealed the facts. Within 15 minutes Roy Jones and George Little, who for vears had been amicable partners, fell out, decided to break. flipped a silver dollar for their holdings and parted. They owned four of the most lucra- tive corners south of the loop and from the income both amassed for- tunes. Then over a trivial matter— the discharge of an employe—they split. -Jones called Little into his of- fice to talk the matter over. “We've got to agree to disagree,” said Jones. “Name your terms and I'll divide or settle any way you make 7.” Little pondered a moment. The properties involved were worth about $100,000. They are the saloons at the southwest, northwest and southeast corners of Twenty-first and Dearborn streets and the cafe, restaurant and hotel Known as “Puxbaum’s.” on the northwest corner of State and Twen- ty-second streets. “You name the terms, tle finally Jones reached into his pocket, drew eee property has changed owners.

forth a silver dollar and said: “The Casino (southeast corner of Dearborn and Twenty-first streets). is worth both the other Dearborn street corners. I'll tess you for choice,” **Toss,"’ said Little. “Call,”’ said Jones, as he sent the coin whirling Into the air. “*Tail,”’ said Little. The coin struck the desk, staggered and trembled to a stop. The picture of the Goddess of Liberty was on top. “I'll take the Casino,’ gald Jones. “That gives me the other two corners,” responded Little. “How about Buxbaum’s,”’ ‘*Toss,"’ said Little. “Call,” said Jones, and Little again called tail, This time the coin settled with the eagle above. A lawyer was summoned by telephone and within a few minutes bills of sale and documents of dissolution of part- nership were drawn and signed. Little was made the owner of three of the four properties, and of these the State street corner is perhaps as valuable as the other three combined. The transac- tion cost Jones about $25,000. The litigation now in progress is not in protest of the ruling by the coin. It is to settle the question of some money due the partnererhip before it was dis- solved. said Jones.

“The stradge mental condition of a large sec- tion of the Democratic party is shown by three accusations recently lodged against Gov. Johnson o* Minnesota by those who are opposed to his nomination for the Presidency. Mr. Johnson is said in the first place to be making a fight upon Mr. Bryan. In the second place, he is said to be put forward by his friends as a mere winner without reference to other qualifications. Thirdly, there 18 a disposition to belittle his victories in Minnesota and to ex- plain them away as accidental or as due mainly tc the weakness of his opponents. These objections proceed from a single idea, which is that one man must have the party leadership in perpetuity and that so trifling a thing as possible success at the polls is hardly worthy of consideration. : Gov. Johnson as well as all others who feel that a change in candidates is likely to be help- ful to a long-defeated party can no more be ac- cused of fighting Mr. Bryan than Mr. Bryan can be accused of fighting them—unless it is to be claimed that the nomination is the per- scnal perquisite of Mr. Bryan. If Mr. Bryan receives the nomination he will expect and he will receive the support of every Democrat who now questions his availability. If Gov. Johnson receives the nomination he cer- tainly will have a right to look for cordial, even enthusiastic, support on the part of Mr. Bryan. There is rivalry in this, but it. is not warfare. Mr. Bryan himself will not construe it otherwise. Without such rivalry political parties worthy of the name would soon cease to exist. The other points made against Gov. Johnson might be clearer to the average perception if he were proposed as a candidate to a party ev- erywhere victorious and in opposition to a man who had never been defeated. As it is, they savor of a hero worship which takes small account of success, and which, indeed, is in- clined to belittle success. * Gov. Johnson’s two campaigns in Minnesota, a strong Republican State, have revealed re- markable vote-getting capacity on his part. On examination it has been found that he has ele- ments of popularity, less showy, perhaps, than those of Mr. Bryan, but more substantial in their influence upon the ballot box. Worthy in all respects for what he is and has been, ke appeals with great force as a son of immi- grants to an element naturally Democratic which kas long been alienated. To say that Gov. Johnson as a candidate is “fighting Bryan” is to deny to any Democrat other than Mr. Bryan party rights and privi- leges. To say that qualities which have made Goy. Johnson one of the few Democrats who could carry a Northern State in the last 16 years are matters of reproach rather than of honor and of promise is to ignore altogether hope of victory and to commit the organization for- ever to defeat. Such views are wrong views and they can- not prevail if Democrats reason together and accord to each other the toleration which is absolutely necessary not only to victory, bur to a respectably organized opposition. in haa ww VYv CIVIC BEAUTY COSTS MONEY. With two of the great bond issues of Paris shortly falling due, a part of its municipal reve- nue now going into a sinking fund for their re- demption will be available thereafter for other purposes. Accordingly the world’s most beautiful city plans to incur a further obligation of $120,- 000,000, to be used mainly for additional beautifi- cation. American cities will be awed at the scale of the proposed civic work. Ten million dollars (proximately double what St. Louis lately voted fcr a parkway scheme) will be devoted to im- mediate measures for stamping out tuberculosis, and $5,000,000 more will serve the same end indi- rectly, through opening up new squares and parks. The largest item of $80,000,000 will be for building new streets and lengthening others, not ‘et firished, through slums and congested neigh- borhoods: 14 thorcughfares in cll being included in the scheme. American cities strain at smal! bond authoriza- tions. The $50,000,000 Chicago drainage district suthorization was viewed as nearly preposterous by many of our metropolises. Yet nothing adda wealth like great civic expenditures. When Amer- ican cities grasp the fundamental truth that noth i1g pays for itself so surely and so quickly as genuine civic work they will undertake it on a large scale. Civic improvement, the beautifying process applied to centers of wealth, is as the value which the artisan adds to gold. There is no great city industrially and com- mercially sound which cannot well afford to imi- tote, in proportion, the way of Paris. ie tte — = oS FIGHTING THE TWO-THIRDS RULE. The rule of Democratic national conventions re- quiring a two-thirds vote to ngminate has been in force for three-quarters of a century, and yet when it was first adopted, in 1832, it was dis- tinctly asserted that it was binding on that con- vention only. While candidates who hoped to have a majority but feared they could not control two-thirds have often threatened to repeal the rule, as Mr. Bryan's friends now do, it is a fact that no seri- ous attempt in that direction has ever been made, and for many years now precedent has been cited aa the highest authority for it. : The two-thirds rule defeated Martin. Van Buren in 1844 and Stephen A. Douglas in 1860. It may defeat William J. Bryan in 1908, If so, neither he nor his friends will have any reason to com- ‘plain. ‘tions that a man. who een

@ to tell the date, tem or It has been understood for three genera- Serre ta peanelon 2 teri aclbaaagal™ a | majority vote. — . One of the strongest Sieunenis in favor of the rule is that it enables safely Democratic states to exercise a controlling influence in the selection of a candidate. Mr. Bryan’s greatest popularity as a candidate-has appeared in states which are usually classed as Republican. If the South wishes to veto his nomination it has enough votes to do it. Probably the report that Mr. Bryan will favor the repeal of the rule does him injustice. Neither he nor any other man worthy of the nomination would care for the honor unless it came in the regular way. ine &. Ar ~ WHERE BENEVOLENCE RAN TO SEED. Americans who may be inclined to socialistic experiments should not overlook the unhappy re- lations existing between Mr. Patterson and the city of Dayton, O. Mr. Patterson controlled the principal manu- facturing establishment in the town. It em- ployed 2700 people. ‘He had views on many sub- jects, some of them highly creditable to his heart if not to his head, for.he aimed to do good. Mr. Patterson’s ideas cost money and the sincerity of his efforts is fully attested by the fact that money wes always forthcoming so long as he had his way. “ Benevolence is never so highly appreciated as when it is merely prodigal. Benevolence which has a plan or a motive or a system is almost cer- tain to be questioned. Benevolence which calls for a complete surrender of individuality may be costly to the man who practices it, but it is a despotism nevertheless. Mr. Patterson not only wanted to control the tastes, the opinions, the time and the diversions of his employes, but he came at length to exercise a dominating influence upon the town and then there was trouble. He has abandoned Dayton and he threatens to remove his business from the town because he has been subjected to annoyance and persecution. That is to say, the majority o7 the people do not want to be coddled and they have feynd Sieys publicly and privately of ac- quainting Mr. Patterson with the fact. There was nothing socialistic in Mr. Patter- son’s enterprises at Dayton, except that he began where the Sodalists would leave off—with a sort of despotism controlled by himself. He had the wealth, the power, the opportunity and, with his imperfect lights, the disposition to do for the town what socialism would'‘like to do. Proba-

‘bly he made more of a success of it than social- ism could have done, for up to the point where a rupture was necessary he had more authority ‘than any socialistic enterprise could have had, and so there was less friction. The trouble in his case, as it has been in all socialistic and communal experiments, was that even the people who profited most by his generos- ity tired soonest of his regulations. The result Las been a quarrel in which much bad feeling has been engendered on both sides. This was the case at Pullman, IIl., and it was the case at Dolgeville, N. Y., industrial utopias, just as it was the case at Zion City, a religio-socialistic settlement. Philanthropists as well as tyrants whose plans interfere with human liberty must er- pect to pay a great price, and to mect disap- pointment at last. THE SOUL-MATES MUST MAKE GOOD. Now that Ferdinand Pinney Earle and his soul- mate, Julia, have married, the world whose re- spectable conventions they disdained has a right to look up to them for a perfect example or ex- pression of the truly idyllic life. Having set themselves above the common run of people and declared themselves a law unto themselves, they must, in the vulgar colloquialism, make good. While hoping for the best, we believe they will have a rather hard job justifving the claims of in- dividualism and superior exaltation and realizing all of the cant and sentimental gush they have indulged in. The perfect contrast of the soulful against the sordid is difficult for mortals to sup- port indefinitely. It is not easy to be beatific and bilious at the same time, for example—and the life beautiful, like a dream, is shattered by the first bump or jar. Wonderful paintings the world of art has a rizhi io demand now from the brush of soulfulnesg in- spired to its liking; yet we note with pain that Ferdinand Pinney has already visited the bar- ber’s and emerged minus the beard and locks of genius, looking no more esthetic than a broker. We warn this pretty pair that if they fail of the task they have set out for themselves by so much as one jot or tittle, if they vary the sov!fu] life by a hair, they will have to come down and confess themselves a couple of common offenders and unspeakably vulgar persons.

bt wv BASEBALL AND THE BOYCOTT. Baseball in New York at once presents a su- preme test to the strergti of the boycott and challenges the limit of human endurance. Following a strike of carpenters at the Amer- ican League grounds, the Central Federated Union has given notice that any good, law-abiding union man caught enjoying a ball game there will be fined severely, while incidental inhibitions deprive him of joy or solace between innings owing to the fact that non-union bartenders serve at the grounds, and non-union cigars are sold therein. Let us hope that there ts a loophole somewhere, or at any rate a sufficient number of union knot- holes in the fence. Otherwise we fear that a fun- damental American passion and the inherent weakness of human nature will make scabs of some of the best of men.

trimmed with flowers, feathers, lace and jigama- rees. We will pass over the eccentricity of as- scciating flowers, lace and feathers in millinery, but demand to be told what is meant by jigama- rees. This is a ribbon season. Does this inaccurate observer mean ribbon when he coins so objec- tionable a word? We cannot believe that Mrs Simon Strong, even of Swinfield, N. J., would so far forget taste as to associate ribbon with flow- ers, lace and feathers. Can it be that he means fleurdelles, or pompons, or aigrettes, or rosettes, or sequins, or medallions by his hideous jiga- marees? Is it possible that he intended to write djegharmaree, which is a bangled scarf or shawl? At any rate he has committed errors of state- ment and presumably of observation which place him in the category reserved for the folk who do not please our chief naturalist, Mr. Roosevelt, and we disclaim all paseresund for him.

s+ o-= | a 4 TASTE IS A FIGHTING MATTER. The idea advanced at two universities where coeducation is practiced that chairs for the cul- tivaticn of taste should be-established must have originated in the brain of an amateur. It is certain that taste can be cultivated, but whose taste will it be and will it be gaod or bad? There is no agreement upon such things. Conflicts of taste are more irreconcilable than conflicts of opinion. Men and women holding radically different beliefs and principles may live happily in the matrimonial state, but if their tastes differ radically there is likely to be do- restic shipwreck. It is comparatively easy to persuade millions of men to co-operate enthusiastically in support of a principle or a policy, but to suggest harmon- izing their tastes in dress, in pleasures, in work, i: ornamentation or in any thing else would pre- cipitate a riot at once. To the best .of our knowledge and belief there is only one place where a chair for the cultiva- tion of taste can be successfully maintained, and that is in the Penitentiary by force. LOOKING FOR AN EASY JOB. A young gentleman, son of a railroad presi- dent, who set out some time ago to fit himself for a career in the transportation business, announces his withdrawal for the reason that “there is toc much worry in a railroad man’s life.” He will find in the course of time, if he makes substantial progress in any other line, that there will be worry in that also. Even in the railroad business there are plenty of positions which the occupants find congenial and comparatively free from care. In that, as in every other calling, however, it is success which brings responsibility, and it is responsibility which leads to worriment. The young man who is looking for ease may as well remain where he is. One occupation is as good as another for him. In every great pro- fession and industry thére are more easy places than there are hard ones and the young man who covets the former generally is to be found in one of them throughout life. On every band there is a call for men who en- joy work and who are eager to assail the diffi- cult tasks. To such ambitious, self-sacrificing and hard-working fellows most of the rewards are likely to go. These prizes may not always be substantial, but they are none the less valuable. There is enjoyment -n triumph and there is zest in achievement which no life of indolence can Npossibly bestow. Young men having wealth and position to begin with should have a strong incentive to master something, for their opportunities are great, and, being freed from drudgery, they are able to command their own time and talents. To look fo. something eacy is to give up the fight before it is begun, for there ts little that is worth hay- ing that does not carry with it plenty of work

and care. ine i. vv

I have lately made a discovery Of which I have oftentimes laughed Till laughter endangered recovery; I leave its appeal to the craft. I've written some rhymes—O, I’ve penned of them, Grinding them out like a mill, Hundreds—or thousands—no end of them— Even as young poets will. But how, or with whom, to dispose of them? That was with me, as with you, The question, my friends, for who knows of them Knows how the magazines do. With slips of refusal in readiness, It’s very short shrift for your rhyme, And it’s home-coming puts a great heaviness Into one’s heart for a time. True, we were warned that their use of us Had been to write fillers, poor souls; But what still was playing the deuce with us Was the probable size of the holes. And that's what I’ve solved. I've applied to it An overlooked system, and ls, There’s a plain mathematical side to it, And one that all poets shall know! Cut out of this month’s publications The verses, no matter how small; Measure these varied creations, And then strike an average of all. No matter how badly the mean of them Fits to the size of your lay, Or if you write twelve or thirteen of them, There is your poem for May. So sit down and write by. the measure, And let it be poem or trash, And the magazines will with pleasure Accept your effusion for cash. SHOWBILLS.

GREAT DAY FOR THE NAVY. SAN DIEGO, April 16. —Perhaps never before in the history of the American Navy has there been such a demon- stration of popular en- thusiasm over the men and the ships as oc- curred here today. All Southern California turn- ed out to welcome the fleet. Thousands of schoo) children’ pelted the marching’ sailors with flowers. Bands crashed and flags waved. The Governor of the State embraced the Admiral! of the fleet. The Mayor of the city turned over the keys. The children sang, and people cheered. Swords were presented, and medals hung. The night was made glorious with fireworks, and the fete closed with a ball at the great Hotel del Coronado, out on the beach. Everybody danced with the Navy. toasted the Navy, and loved the Navy.

WASHINGTON, Apri! 15.—The President's ap- peal for four more bat- tleships was turned down cold in the House today. Lieut. Hobson made a spirited appeal to the friends of the Navy, but only a few Congressmen responded. Son-in-Law Longworth fought for it, but he didnt blow up anything. Bourke Cock- ran made a few seagoing remarks, but soon put to shore, as if fearful of be- ing mined. Meanwhile the foes of the Navy were very busy torpedo- ing the two extra ships, and these were speedily sent down by the broad- sides of Burton, Bar- tholdt, Williams and others from portions of the country not exposed to sea attacks. It was the most significant demonstration against the Navy in the history of Congress. Lieut. Hob- son sald after the vote that, paradoxically, a great naval battle had been lost ashore. ————— ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.

OU'LL have to brush up on your Shakspeare this. week if you would fain a keep step with the spirit of the moment, because the 344th anniversary of . Gentle Will's birthday is nowgto be celebrated in St. Louis with mueh impressiveness. — All aboard, therefore, for Stratford-on-Avon. | Next Thursday is the great day, since it chances to have been on April 23, 1564, tlfat the biggest and most vital soy] in all drama first came into em- bodied being, but the St. Louls commemoration of that epochal event begins to morrow forenoon and will continue un-til Thursday evening, terminating wit, @ special memorial performance at the Olympic Theater by Mr. Robert Man- tell and his company. Even tonight, however, the Shakspear® atmosphere will prevail in Mana- ger Short’s historic playhouse, “Mrcbeth" being presented then 141 there as the opening bill of Mr. Mantell’s engagement. A at the thought. that St. Louis is leading the world in its observance of : the Bard's natal! ‘anniversary. _ The opening services will be held at the direction of Principal W. |. S. Bryan, Mr. Guy Lindsley of St. Loui., a leading member of will give a brief taix on Shakspeare, with illustrative readings, George Stillwell and Romaine Callender will present the quarrel scene be- tween Brutus and Cagsius from ‘‘Julius Caesar.” At 1:30 p. m. Tuesday, at the Yeatman High School, under the direction of Principal J. R. Powell, Mr. Francis McGinn, Jeading man of the Mante!! company, will recite Mark Anthony's address over the body of Caesar, and a scene from “Henry VIII,” with Mr. H. Cooper Clyffe as Cardinal Wolsey and Mr. Franklyn Bendtsen as Cromwell, will be given. The McKinley High School services, under the direction of Principal a. B. Morrison, will be held at 9:30 on Thursday morning. Mr. Lindsley pvill de- liver a Shakspeare address, with readings, and Messrs. Stillwell and Callender will repeat the quarrel scene from “Jniius Caesar.’ This will terminate the public school observances of the anniversary.

HEN, under the auspices of the St. Louis Society of Pedagogy and the St. Louis Federation of Women’s Clubs, a Shakspeare celebration will -be held Thursday intthe Central High School assembly room, beginning at 4p. m. The exercises will include a recitation by Mr. McGinn, a scene from “Henry VIII,” by Messrs. Cliffe and Bendtson; the tower scene from ‘King John,"’ with Mr. Gordon Burby as Sir Hubert and Miss Leila Frost as Prince Arthur, and a scene from ‘“‘Macbeth,”’ by Mr. Mantell and Miss Marie Booth Russell (Mrs. Mantell.) Appropriate mifsic will be rendered. Fashionable St. Louis society will also celebrate the day with “An After- noon with Shakspeare,” in the ballroom of the St. Louls Woman’s Club, at 8 p. m. Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Mantell will give one scene each from ‘‘Hamlet”’ and ‘“‘Macbeth;”’ selections from music composed for Shakspeare’s plays will be given by Mr. Ernest R. Kroeger, and Shakspearean songs will be sung by a quartet from the Amphion Club and a chorus by members of the Morning Choral Club, the afternoon terminating with a reception to Mr. and Mrs. Man- tell.

Edmond Rostand has found a ready reception for his works in Paris, and, translated, on the En- glish-speaking stage. More than one London manager is glad to produce a play by Stephen Phillips, some of whose poetic tragedies have scored notable popu- lar successes. Even here, in our own alleged money-mad country, Mr. Harrison Grey Fiske did not hesitate to spend nearly $50,000 in the staging of Percy Mackaye's “Sappho and Phaon’’ at the outset of this very season now nearing its close. And it wasn’t the fault of the American public that ‘‘Sappho and Phaon” failled—it was the fault of the play itself. We were quick to disceru the beauty of Mr. Mackaye’s “Jeanne d’Arc.”’ The situation is simple to a degree, if we'll isn’t that we lack appreciation of great work. being done in our day. just confront it frankly. It It is that great work is not

OR behold, in our own time of famine, we look wistfully back to that a » Of plenty, treasuring the fame of the Great Ones born to the world in a more fecund age. Here in St. Louis, out at Tower Grove Park, we have our statue of Shaks- peare, and within a few paces of that statue the late Adelaide Neilson planted the “Shakspeare tfee’’ in memory of Gentle Will and we'd be just as glad to celebrate the contemporary genius of playwright or player. At the pres- ent moment New York begins a movement for the erection of a statue of Edwin Booth as Hamlet, a tribute alike to the great American actor and the greatest of all dramatists. It isn’t quite fair to charge that the Twentieth Century ‘is utterly devoid of the poetic spirit that flourished in the Sixteenth. The goods are not being delivered now—that’s the trouble.

UT O, my gentle readers, let’s pray that this doleful truth may not lead many of our players to follow the example set by Eleonora Duse, who has just bought the rights of a play written by ‘a murderer! sn’t that the limit—even for Duse? Her new dramatist is a young Italian named Guido Casali, now in prison for the killing of a certain barrister of the town of Perugia. While awaiting his trial Casuli wrote a tragedy wherein he analyzes the sentiments and the psychological moods which drove him to commit the crime—and Duse heard of it. Not since the days when Gabriele d’Annunzio produced his grisliest and most grewsome plots for her playing had anything. so appealed to her as did this introspective murder-drama by a murderer—haste, Duse of the hot-foot, to acquire this monstrous thing! Which is an overdoing of the “appreciation” stunt. Already too many crimes are chargeable to our playwrights.

tractive young stage women recently segn in St. Louis, each of whom left quite a distinct impression upon the minds of local playgoers. Miss Billie" Burke, knee in ‘“‘My Wife” at the Olympic not long ago, will visit us next seagon C tne now from New York some interesting news concerning two at- whom we saw cuddle up so fetchingly on John Drew's in an English version of a French play, the Angli- cized title of which is “Love Watches.” The play is by MM. Fleurs and Cavillot, and has now passed its hundredth performance at the Comedie Francaise in Paris. The star role is said to be very like that of the bewitching Trixie of the John Drew offering—which means a combination of gurgles, giggies, dimples and other Billie Burkecisms of irresistible charm. Similarly, Miss Marie Doro, also a‘“cuddler,’’. but of a more subtle and elfin quality than Miss Burke, is to have a new play irom the French. an adaptation of “‘Miquette et, sa Mere,"’ a Paris success. It gives Miss Doro the part of a provincial girl who réins away from her mother’s tobac- co shop and goes on the Paris stage, and, satirizing theatrical conditions and types in the French capital, is said to be rich with delicate humor. But its most delightful figure is that of Miquette, a dear little rustic innocent. and Miss Doro is expected to make the best hit of her career thus far in the ro.e. I told you the “cuddling girl” was to be the new fad, remember. as a star, we are told, PEAKENG of sweet young stage women, our own Grace Hazard, the St. Louis singer whose ‘Five Feet of Comic Opera” scored one of the big- west vaudeville hits of the season now closing, sailed yesterday for London to fill a two-months’ engagement in the United Kingdom. After singing in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool, this clever little St. Louis girl will appear in Vienna for four weeks and will then go to Hofstadt, Germany, for a month of study under Madame Yeager of the Metropolitan Opera House School, who conducts an annual class at that quaint old place. During her stay abroad Miss Hazard will be accom panied by her mother, Mrs. G. M. Hazard, well remembered in St. Louis, who has been her traveling companion ever since she began her stage career. I'm expecting very good things indeed of Grace Hazard. She's chockful of talent, she's finely ambitious and siic’s not afraid of hard Work—and that’s & Winning combination.

PETERSBURG, April 18.—The Czar has granted permission for Mme. Stoessel to call upon her husband when- ever she chooses, and the loyal wife daily makes a journey to the fortress of SS. Peter and Paul, where her hus- band is confined. She is treated with the greatest courtesy and kindness by the prison officials, and they are great- ly affected by the devotion which she shows for her captive lord. Mme. Stoessel always calls the former General her “hero husband,” and their simple greeting is marked by the sim- plicity of their devotion. Although Stoessel’s fare is not that of the prison kitchen, his wife daily brings some little token or tidbit to the prison. Gen. Stoessel in war was a stern dis- ciplinarian, but here in prison he shows himself the tenderest of men. He has constructed a little wooden platform outside the barred windows of his cell, and at mealtime always places a por- tion of his food upon this platform for birds. Pigeons which roost beneath the eaves of the fortress walls have learned to seek this board every day, where they coo to their hearts’ content. The imprisoned soldier reaches through the bars and strokes the backs of the birds, which seem fearless of his presence. Gen. Stoessel is devoting much of his

Miss ELLA ScueMFPLER GSerenarenpd Grsrecs PoRarrRa'T The following tells why everything eaten will be promptly digested and not left in your Stomach to ferment and sour: As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indi- gestion or ‘some form of Stomach trouble, why don’t you keep a case of Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing is prepared in the form of 22-grain Triangules, and are eaten like candy, but they will di- es anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and regulate a sour Stomach five minutes after. Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula.plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape’s Diapepsin, then you will readily see why they cure In- digestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn, and prevent at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of Sour, un ted food, Nausea, Headaches, Di e858, Constipation and other

Stomach: disorders. or believe theirs is a se of Nervous- ness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. | This is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not di- gest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poi- son, which putrefy the entire digestive tract and intestines and, besides, poi- son the breath with nauseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough di- gestion, and without the slightest dis- comfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to get: a 50-eent case of Pape’s Diapep- sin. One Triangule taken after eating will promptly digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood 3000 grains of food, and is so absolytely harmless and pleasant that no one could realize they were taking such 2 oe

And, in recognition of this great’ pub- lic service, they say, Mr. Wixford should be given a reward in money and a medal of some kind, and it has even been suggested that the degree of LL. D. be conferred upon him by Washing- ton University. 4 Mr. Adkins asserts Mr. Wixford not only did not discover anything, but that he stood in the way of,the dis- coverles being made and had to be urged to make the experiments that re- sulted in the pure ‘water supply, and when the discoveries had been made through the efforts of others, Mr. Wix- ford surreptitiously obtained a patent for the precess and publicly claimed the credit for it. But, Mr. Adkins says, the process said by Mr. Wixford to have been dis- covered by him, was found by the city to be inefficient and it was discarded and has not been used for several veurs, and the process now used is not due in any way to the efforts of Mr. Wixford. Mr. Wixford was out of the city all of last week and could not be reached, so that a statement of his side of the controversy could be made. Mr. Adkins became Water Commission- er in 1903. Before that time the water used by St. Louis had been taken from the Mississippi river at the Chain of Rocks into large basins and allowed to stand long enough for a percentage of the impurities in it to settle by gravity. Put this was an inefficient process, and the water sent through the mains was muddy and impregnated with disease germs. Appropriation Was Made. The water départment had been mak- ing experiments for years toward a purer water supply and when it was decided to hold a. World's Fair here, the Mayor instructed Mr. Adkins to be- gin more extended experiments and to devise some way, if possible, to clear the water before the millions of visit-

that sulphate of alumina was the only thing to handle this water with. “After being assured that I assumed all responsibility in the matter, he went to work on the lines as indicated to him. Experiments were begun at the laboratory in ordinary gallon jars as used there from day to day, noting each experiment as to quantities in a book kept for that purpose. ‘Z am unable to give the exact dates or length of times consumed in these exptriments, as the record book in which Mr. Wixford kept the accounts of all his preliminary work, and which was in his charge all the time, has mys- teriously disappeared. “After considerable laboratory work, there was no longer any question of the possibility of the clarification of the St. Louis water, so we decided to go ahead on the installation. It then became necessary to provide practical methods of supplying large quantities of chemicals to the raw water. Many sug- gestions were made by the employes in charge of this work, who, besides Mr. Wixford, were Mr. Wall, Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Black. In many cases these suggestions were tested by actual ex- periments and rejected until the pres- ent method was adopted. ‘ Told of Discovery in 1903. “In December, 1903, Mr. Wixford claimed to have discovered the action of Hme upon the dissolved solids in the river water, and that he-.could clar- ify the water with lime alone. We ac- cepted Mr. Wixford’s statements. but, upon investigation, we feund a book pub- lished in 1896, called ‘‘Water Softening and, Purification,’ by Harold Collet, fin which the action of lime on water was practically the same as Wixford’s dis- covery. This author says, ‘“‘The lime process invented 50 years ago by Dr. Clark, is applicable to waters containing bicar- bonate of lime and bicarbonate of mag- nesia,’’ so that it seems Mr. Wixford’s “discovery’’ was known to all chemists

tric action which causes each atom to become electrically attractive and they form into masses called coagulations, and, as these form together, they have sufficient weight to sink to the bot- tom.”’ It is said that all the disease germs in the water cling to the atoms of mat- ter and sink to the bottom, too, and consequently the water supplied to St. Louis is pure and wholesome.

scttling basins at the Chain of Rocks, cnd Mr. Adkins used that money to defray the expense of his experiments, which he began at once. He went first to Omaha and investi- gated a process used there, which in- volved a series of settling basins. When the water in the first one had settled somewhat, the clearer water on the surface was drained off into another basin, and when this had settled for another period, the surface of it was dreined into another basin and this pro- cess was repeated until the water in the last basin was clear. This process was patented and the royalty asked for its use was large. This, together with the fact that the basins of the St. Louis Waterworks were too small for the working out of the process, and that there was not time to excavate and build new basins, precluded the use of that’ system in time for the fair. Next Mr. Adkins investigated the me- chanical process used in Quincy, Il. There a solution of lime and iron was injected into the water and acted as a coagulant, and this process of coag- ulation and settling was hastened by a mechanical movement. Mr. Adkins says of his further investigations: “This process at Quincy showed the highest efficiency and led us to the con- clusion that the lime and iron treat- ment was the proper one for this water. The mechanical process was considered prohibitive on account of its cost, as well as the short time allowed for in- stallation. Chemist Wixford Employed. “Immediate steps were taken to pro- cure a quantity of sulphate of iron and lime and begin experiments towards ascertaining the quantity to be added to the water to produce rapid coagula- tion and settlement. As the matter was of vital issue to the community, it was deemed best to employ a chemist thor- oughly conversant with water chemistry to give to the department the results of experiments, in order that when any conclusion was reached, we would be satisfied that there would \be no ill effects to the general public from wa- ter so treated. Mr. Wixford was then sent for and asked if he desired to come back into the employ of the Wa- ter ‘Department. “T stated to him what was’ wanted,

light of later developments and with a fullér knowledge of what has been done by other investigators, it is plain that there was no new discovery, no new process stumbled upon, nothing origi- naied so far as the chemical part of the process is concerned. ‘“‘But too much stress can not be laid upon the fact that successful issue of the application of the lime and iron treatment to the city’s water supply was due to the unfaltering determination of the Department, backed by the ad- rinistration, to improve the quality of the water supply at almost any cost. Says He Got Patents, ‘Mr. Wixford obtained patents secret- Iv and surreptitiously by claiming his discovery of the an.eunt of lime neces- sary to be added to the water. “In conclusion, I will say that the process, as it jis in use, is the result of a pérsistent and intelligent study, and of the bold and energetic action of that division of the Water Depart- ment having this work in charge, and that the St. Louis water supply is not and has not been for the past two vears, purified and clarified by the so- e:lled, ‘Wixford Process.’ “The formula we are now using is different from the formula we used when Mr. Wixford was in the Department.”’ No one seems to know. exactly why a solution of liime and iron added to Mississippi River water causes the silt held in solution in it to coagulate or come together in masses and sink to the bottom. The average chemist sim- ply knows that this is what happens; he calls it ‘“‘coeagulation due to chemi- cal reaction,’’ and lets it go at that. Expert Calla It Electrical. An Eastern expert in such matters de- clares that the coagulation is caused by electrical action and not by a chem- ical action at all. He says: “Each atom of matter in a drop of Mississippi River water is electrified. Each cne is magnetized either negative- ly or positively. and each repels the other, keeping them in constant motion and preventing them from settling to the bottom even when the water is at rest. You may fil! a glass bottle with Mississippi River water and let it stand absolutely quiet for a: thousand years and it will yet be cloudy owing to the -pseonberc properities of the atoms held

RAFFLES ANDHOBO, TOO Says He Even Disguised Him- self in Woman’s Garb at Times,

WATERBURY, Conn., April 18.—Ker- rill K. Kimberly, a justice of tne peace at Goshen, a farmer in high authority among his fellow grangers, a Knight of Pythias prominent in the order's so- cial affairs, a man who was highly re- Spected here, at Goshen and at Tor- rington, has confessed to having been a most industrious burglar. Arrested at his home in the presence of his wife and three children, Kimberly burst into tears and said, brokenly: “A devil drove me to rob; my will could not resist this devil's tempting.’’ Disguised as a Woman. Yet, remorseful as he is, Kimberly so cleverly planned his burglarious expedi- tions that he adopted various disguises. Now he was a Raffles, wearing evening clothes; again he was a hobo, worthy in appearance to be a pal of the most disreputable yeggmen. State Detective Robert Hurley, who arrested Kimberly, asserts, too, that he has disguised him- self in female apparel and made a good- looking woman, for he is only 35, with a smooth, round face and red cheeks. Hurley, who hails from’ Hartford, has followed clews for months until he laid a series of burglaries at Kimberly’s door. The wretched an, a grand juror at Goshen until two years ago, con- fessed to Hurley in the presence of Policeman Charles E. Nickerson of Wa- terbury; showed them stolen goods in his home, offered gladly to restore them to their owners, then said that, what- ever happens to him, he felt as if a weight had been lifted from his soul. Four Counts Against Him. Hurley on a bench warrant took Kim- berly to the Superior Court at Litch- field. Four counts were in the complaint against him; breaking into the summer home in Goshen of Mrs. Mary M. Beach of New Haven, in December last, and again on Jan. 24, this year; breaking into the home of Mrs. Cora. A. Scott, a nurse, and bréaking into the workshop of Fred Johnson, in December last. Kimberly has also confessed to stealing spokes, sprockets, axles, vises and other articles from a bicycle shop in this place, as well as stockings from the Winsted Hosiery plant, implements from Clum’s blacksmith shop, in Goshen, and charts and maps from a _ schoolhouse there. The stolen goods will be used as evi- dence against Kimberly. Judge Ralph Wheeler held him in $500 bail and Hurley turned him over to Sheriff Frank H. Turkington’s keepincs.

LOUIS, “SUNDAY MORNING, “APRIL ‘19, 7908 : 4 — CUS And A-h-h-h-h! Think How Lucky Ave the Men Who Pay the Bills Be- cause the Millinery Sharps Decided to Czut Out Ostrich Feathers Lhis Year, Thereby Mak- ane Possible Fancy Head- gear at Prices From $5 Up to the Century Mark. MILLION dollars’ worth of new Easier A hats will be on display today in St. Louis. There will be some hats that cost from $100 to $150. Many will be worn that cost in the neighborhood of $50. Many more cost about $20. But the great majority of the hats that will be worn today for the first time cost from $5 to $15. But no matter what they cost apiece, each one will be a thing of beauty to look at. For this is the one season of all seasons when a little money goes a great way in buying beauty in the millinery line. A fashionable woman paid $165 for her Easter hat last week. But she did not have to do that. She would have been more in style, and she would have shown better taste if she had paid $30 or $40 for her hat. The best milliners declare that hats are lower in price this Easter than they have been before in years. The reason is that ostrich feathers are not so much worn this season, and it is ostrich feathers that make a hat get up around the century figure. They are trimming some of the best hats this Easter in flowers and wings, and they do not cost so much. : The Easter bonnet parade this morning on the ecburchly corner of King’s highway and McPher- son avenue will be brighter than that of other Easter Sundays that have preceded it in recent years owing to the almost universal use of flow- ers. It will look like a moving flower garden. The best of the new bonnets, that is more of the best of them than can be seen in any other one ~ $1000.000 PARADE OF EA HUSBANDS DYING oF HEART DISEASE Uff SOS \ Fa) spot in St. Louis, will be moving up and down King’s highway betweeen the Washington at Del- mar avenue, and the Buckingham Hotel on Lin- dell boulevard, with its rallying point at the corner of man» churches, near McPherson ave- nue. seb Past this group of the most architecturally beautiful churches in St. Louis, and in-and out of them the parade of Easter bonnets will move. It will stro up and down King’s highway from this point. south past the Racquet Club, past Westmoreland place and the other fashionable places of that neighborhood, past Lindell boule- vard and the exclusive Buckingham Club and the flower-decked entrance to Forest Park. At this entrance to the park wilk be a good place to view the parade. That will be a meeting place of the streams of fashionably dressed wom- en coming from both directions on King’s high- WAITING AT THE CHURCH. wey, and from Lindell boulevard, and going in and out of Forest Park. There will be another parade of Easter bon- nets »on Union boulevard, north of Delmar, that will be worth going far to see. There is another Zroup of magnificent churches, the Church of the Messiah, the Pilgrim Congregational Church, the new Christian Church, with’a group of notably beautiful buildings for background, including the Artists’ Guild, the Branch Library, the Clark Public Schoo! and the new Soldan High School. The milliners, wholesale and retail, declare that their business this year has gone ahead of that of last year. They are surprised at this. They expected a falling off. But it seems that everyone has got her Easter bonnet, tegardless of the finan- cial depression. The lower prices this year are the result of careful calculation. Those mysterious ones who dictate what the styles shall be decided that, as the times were hard this Easter, it would never do.to have the styles too expensive, and so they laid away ostrich feathers for a season and sub- stituted less expensive flowers and wings and lace and aigrettes. The result is that a woman who knows how to buy can get for $10 or $15 a hat as pretty and artistic as one that cost $25 or $30 last Easter. The wholesale milliners, who keep watch of tl.ose things, say that this Easter the general av- erage price paid for new hats was about $5. They figure that 200,000 women will appear in the Raster bonnet. parade today in new head gear. Not all of them will be on King’s highway, of ccurse, and not all of them will wear bonnets that have been designed and put together by skilled milliners. There will be thousands at the Easter services ir all the churches of St. Louis today whose bon- nets cost them in the neighborhood of $3. These will largely be worn by the women of gcod taste and economical habits, when went to the millinery stores and picked out a shape and then bought the materials with which to trim it. And this is the season in which a woman of thrift and taste in such matters can, with very little money, do wonders in trimming an Easter hat. For $5 ome can get the materials for a very be- co-ning hat in the very jatest style. And so: the milliners fix an average price of $5 for each of the 200,000 new bonnets that will be cut today if the weather is favorable. Ks A millfner who has one of the most fashionable shops in this city said yesterday: “If a woman spends more than $30 or $40 this Easter for a new hat she is wasting money. Because of the styles the very best kind of a hat may be had for $35, * Sas ae ea! oe a... 63 ard eT Ne ae SES Bip ee a : i -* act ie Ae & : " 4 lwelg: pyrut per 4. moat’ Rides W, car blinds 4 Keep Of King's Hic Today, [f Your Eyes A ‘Loo Weak to § land 4 Glare of a River of £ bine Lonnets Pr 10 With Bright Posies am More Wonderful 7 Poor Old Dame Nat Ever Grew. ad to co bepond thet te tn eae San taste.

The Indians had a great deal of good land, and the whites had no end of whisky. It was very simple. You gave the Indian the whisky, and he gave you the land. Usually these treaties were negotiated without misadventure. On becoming sober, the Indians acknowledged themselves outwitted, and the inci- dent closed. But even cautious men make mis- takes, and one of these at St. Louis eventually led to the Black Hawk War. An Indian of the Sac and. Fox tribe had been arrested for murder. He was a prisoner at Jef- fereon Barracks. Four men of his nation came here to fix it. They were Quashquame, Pashe- paho, Onchequaka, and Hashequarhiqua. These men left the Sac and Fox villages with the God- speed of their people. They were expected home in a fortnight. Instead, they were gone six weeks, D. _ village and covered their faces with mud, to in- 4 Ke dicate that they were in disgrace. ‘Black Hawk was the great chief of the tribe. He went down to the camp, and when the emis- ” he commanded, “tell me what at. — He s face. have been drunk front one mood to an- of na ewonsoas ogg eg ee PM ET NATIONAL LEAGue PENNANT JEFFERSON | CLUB mg 69 Pa "Pag Ste ae J sT pe Coun pe aig is. +. ty HARRIMA a > ene | oF “You had no authority to do that, Quashquame. “No, but we were paralyzed.” “Who gave you the fire-water?” “The pale-faces.” “Who got our land?” “The pale-faces.” et That was the beginning. The end came in Sep- tember, 1833, when the steamer Winnebago whis- tled into the St. Louis harbor bearing Black Hawk in chains. He had given the Illinois State Militia and a few regular troops a very bad summer. , The Black Hawk War was the most amusing of all our Indian wars. It was fought in a heavily populateé country. When there was a battle, hun- dreds of soldiers went out, followed by thousands, spectators. The principal battle was fought on a field In plain sight from the river, and @ number er ated Bs oe é a Pia Hawk was taken back to W THE GREAT FLOOD OF 1844. for liberty ,and not for the gate receipts. He was taken down to the Barracks, and remained there until the following April, when he was trams- ferred to Fortress Monroe. He was at . that time 66 years of age, and much more distinguished than any of his keepers. Visitors invariably ask- ed to see Black Hawk, which occasioned no little annoyance to some of the army men stationed a: the Post. On his way to Fortress Monroe, he was taken t» Washington to see President Jackson. Jackson * - did not see the chief as a good many others saw him. He looked to Old Hickory like a very good Democrat. The more Jackson thought it over, the more he became sonvinced that he, was @ good Democrat. The result was that in June, Black , and Jacn+ Black Hawk inspired the first St. Louis art. He was, perhaps;:the most picturesque of the great chiefs, and local amateurs began to paint him. Their portraits attracted the attention of the art world, and there was a great crush at the Barracks for sittings, as many as fifty local and foreign artists sometimes being in line. He was a magnificent subject, but he couldn't sit like Sitting Bull. CHAPTER XVIL The Great Flood of 18+4, HE floods at St: Louis have been mary, but that of 1844 will probably always remain the most famous.

But tradition floated off with everything else in '44. When the flood was at its best, an appar- ently safe townsite went by every 7 seconds. Picneer homes passed in bobbing groups. Even Indians born and raised in the valley wert rescued from passing drift. Steamboats ran the river 500 abreast. The salvation of the populaticn-was the great raultiplicity of river craft.

ee fy i BEST IS. DECLARED ART Seme Remarkable Pictures Are Shown at Photograph- @ ers’ Exhibition.

CHICAGO IN THE LEAD

Old Theory About Photo- graphy Is Exploded by Samples of It.

A painter once said ‘‘The: camera in art is think.”’ Like Blossom's ephorism, ‘Figures cannot lie, but Hars can figure,”’ so one might be made about the camera. If the camera cannot think the photogra- pher can. This, it would seem, accounts for the remarkable exhibition of pho- tographs at the home of the St. Louis impossible—it cannot Artists’ Guild on Union avenue, which 2 closes tonight. The brush and brain of the painter have shown nothing better from a pure- pictorial standpoint than many of these photographs done by artists of the lens and developing bath. They have proved one thing, the camera can tell stories in picture that chd¥m exceedingly. The exhibition at the Artists’ Guild is under the auspices of the Missouri Camera Club of Missouri, and the pho- tographs were collected by the Ameri- jean Federation of Photographic Socie ties. The society collected 3000 prints. The preliminary jury passed these, and the final jury weeded them down to 239 prints. The net result is a collection that has been a revelation to pérsons who looked upon the camera as a producer of some- ‘what cold and formal portraits and conymercial pictures. As mediums of artistic expression and in the portrayal of atmosphere and color values these pictures are more than satisfying, many | of them are a delig#t, and some of them | productive of covetousness. Cheap Camerag Made Good Pictures. | A great many of the best of the pic tures shown were made with the smali- est and cheapest cameras, such as “Brownles,’’ the prints afterward hay ing been enlarged. This is evidenc: that the production of artistic phot« graphs does not in the least depend upo:: expensive apparatus. In many instances the pictures were purely the result of accident, the photographer not knowing how good a thing he had until the prin was made. came into the play jecting the plate because it what he intended to get, it for its pictorial value. and instead of re- was It would seem from an examination of : these photographs that the lens is a!) | that it may be and that the further de- velopment of effects must printed. Some of the photographs, ex- cellent in composition, color, were almost lost in the quality of the paper on which they were printed, while others, inferior in every quality, were conspicuous by reason of the cleverness with which the picture was reproduced. St. Louis was most creditably repre. Sented, but the Chicago photographers had most of the hits to their credit, while in the estimation of almost ali those who studied the line a Portland (Ore.) man carried off the bulk of the praise. He is Henry Berger Jr., with his “Last of the Iredale,” a shipwrecked vessel high on the sands with the tide rippling across the foreground. It was printed on a green carbon paper which added much to its effectiveness. Its companion, ‘‘U. 8S. 8S. Charleston in Port- land, Harbor,” was almost equally praiseworthy. Chicage Woman Second, Mrs. Sara Holm of Chicago has an admirable composition, a bit of genre entitleg ‘““‘The Brickburner,” printed on gephia carbon that fits the subject ad.- mirably. It is a notable second to Ber- ger’s ‘‘Iredale.” D. H. Brookins of Chicago has madc some splendid pictures on the Chicago | River, one of the best pictures streams . fh this country in spite of its unsavory | reputation. His “Twilight on the Chi. cago River’ claims attention and ad- miration for its beautiful atmospher!: effects and composition. John Chislett of struck the key with the soit pedal oj in lils eight landscapes, which are mys ticdl in quality, full of feeling, and full of story. They are worth while. “An Impression” by G. C. Elmber- ger of Chicago, made with a small cam- era, is one of the notable things in the exhibition, and shows what can be done with a trifle in the way of a lens. C. Ney Pickering, a St. Louis news- paper man, has a picture called “Fight- ing the Flames,” which he picked up in the line of his duty. Tt will sprprise many who haye a‘- mired it to know that the negative from which the print was cnlatged wes only % by M% inches, yet there areal! the best qualities of a picture tn it. Printed ita effectiveness would be vastly Inereased. ‘notable pictures. Arthur Smith’s “A _ Stormy Homecoming,” Lewis Lloyd's “Phe Farm by the Pool,” Fred Judge's on the. Downs” and W.

UNDERGROUND ROUTE

Woman Who Suggested Ad- venture Describes His Trip.

Correspondence from London Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, April 8.—The English pa- pers recently have been full of obit- uary notices of the Duke of Devonshire, with acevunts of the principal epochs of his Jife. They speak of his good gense, loyaity, devotion to duty, his ‘Many years of patriotic work, in dif- ferent departments, for his country. They mention the faets of his being in Virginia during the Civil War, and see- ing much of Gen. Lee; without explain- ing how he got there. And yet his ex- ploit in crossing from Maryland into Vir- ginia, through the lines of the North- ern army, is worth recounting and re- cording. The story has been told by. the woman who encouraged him to run these risks, and also by the Confederate officer who shared them. When, as Marquis of Hartingdon, he visited America—then in the throes of civil war—he came furnished with let- ters of introduction which gave him op- portunities to see everything and every- one of interest in the Northern States. Finally, from Washington he drifted to Baltimore, which was in a most un- happy state.. Most of its leading citi- gens were either prisoners in Fort La- fayette or fighting in the armies of Lee and “Stonewall’’ Jackson. Woman Suggests Adventure. Of course Lord Hartingdon heard much talk of the heroes in the South- ern army, then gaining battle after battle. He set his heart upon seeing the men whose names were already world-famous, and he applied to the United States Government for permis- gion to pass the lines of the Northern Army to the South. He was curtly re- fused. “Do you really want so much to go to Richmond?” asked a woman, to whom he was expressing his disappoint- ment. “Are you willing to take great Tisks—to incur great danger to get there? You may lose your life! I can help you to cross the Potomac into the Southern lines, in spite of all the are willing to go by what we call the ‘underground route.’ ”’ The spice of adventure and danger @nly made the young Englishman eager Accepts the Danger. “r have a cousin,” she continued, ‘‘an Officer in the Cohfederate Army, who has been duck shooting over every foot” ef the Potomac marshes, and knows both shores for miles, up and down; he steals across often to see his family, and goes to his home in the country, stays some days—always ‘in his officer's uni- ferm—and returns to his regiment, load- ed with letters for Maryland men in the Southern army from their wives and sweethearts. “He has spent two weeks sometimes at his country place, and can so abso- Jutely trust his slaves that, although Union soldiers are stationed within five miles of his house, not one has be- trayed him! He is now in Maryland, and is shortly to return to Virginia. Shall I ask him to allow you to accom- y him?” _ The Marquis eagerly asecntes. It was - fot many days before he and the Con- federate officer were off on their peril- _ Us journey. The Northern soldiers were _ keeping careful watch on’the banks of 4 the Potomac. It was a life and death ~Bame of “hide-and-seek!” Sometimes they were obliged to stand for hours in ‘water up to their necks, their heads ‘the tramp of sentinels or patrols pass- fing within a few feet of them. When the coast was clear they would creep Finally Reached Lee. ___Of course, they would carry nothing ~ with them, and were often wet, cold and : hungry. In the daytime they were gen-

LEADER Cokimbus Choral Concert Will Be Directed by Rev. Father Manzetti. All arrangements have been completed for the Knights of Columbus, Choral Club concert at the Odeon, Monday, April 27. The big feature will be the debut as the club’s musical director o! the Rev. Father Leo P. Manzetti, the famous French priest, chosen by the Pope as one of a commission of three to revise and publish the Gregorian chant to be used exclusively hereafter in all Roman Catholic churches. In addition to Father Manzetti the club offers as soloists Mile. Marie de Rohan, soprano, who is engaged for next season by the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company. Herr Leopald Broeck- aert will accompany Mile. Rohan on the flute and Father Manzetti on the piano. This is the first time in America that a Catholic priest has ever been chosen conductor for a big choral society. Fa- ther Manzetti is better known in Eu- rope than in this country. He was in Enine-Lesbain, France, and at the age of 6 began his musical training under his father. Later he was graduated from the Con- servatory of Turin, the school of church music at Ratisbon and. the Conservatory of St. Cecelia. He came to New York in 1903 and was director of the Cathedral choir of Cincinnati in 1906. DIES OF PIN SCRATCH AT 80 Blood Poison Caused by Small Wound in Hand. SAGINAW, Mich., April 18.—The prick of a pin caused the death of Mrs. Mary Cross, widow of George Cross, at her home in Buena Vista. While putting on her hat, Mrs. Cross pricked her hand with a hatpin. It scarcely drew blood and she thought nothing of it. The next day blood-poisoning devel- eped, and death followed in four days. Mrs. Cross was 80 years old, coming here a year ago from Ontario, where she lived all her life. A son survives.

One of these little books will be mailed free to anyone sending address on postal card or by letter, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and requesting the same. From this booklet it will be learned that Dr. Pierce’s medicines contain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poi- sonoys or injurious agents, and that they are made from native medicina] roots of great value; also that some of the most valuable ingredients con- tained in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription for nervous, overworked, “run-down,” and debilitated women were employed long years azo by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact, one of the most valuable medicinal plants entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce’s Favor- ite Prescription was known to the In- dians as “Squaw-Weed.” Our know!l- edge of the uses of not a few of our most valuable native medicinal plants was gained from the Indians.

He outlined his ver- siagn of a drama in a speech to the National Democratic Club here Mon- day night. After recounting the Biblical story of: Pharoah and Joseph in the times of famine in Egypt and telling how they used their power to monopolize thd land of Egypt, Senator Owen sald: "Joseph and Pharoah have not been the only monopolists who have been cafied by their captives ‘the saviors of I well recall a recent scéne in which certain great men of enérmous business sagacity are re- puted, during certain recent years of plenty, to have laid up for use enor- m@us values in cash and cash credits an® to have stored or made subject to trol nearly all of the available cash A cash credits in New York—to , we been piling it up for several re on a bull market and finally, = they had stored all of the avail- cash in Egypt. there was a rep- ion of the days of Pharaoh—and a 8 ne came and the price of cash t up—there was a bull movement omcash anda bear movement on stécks and bouds, and the price of eafh went sky high and first of all Pharaoh and his captains took over ‘Morso and Heinze’ and allied inter- ests, and then took ever ‘Tennessee Coml and Iron’ and other properties to umerous to mention, and still the price . cash went up. e Becomes Acute.

Sailors. CAUGHT WITH BRANDY

While They Are Intoxicated Men Return Them to Their Cage. —

PHILADELPHIA, April 18.—An_ ex- citing adventure with monkeys who, to the number of four hundred, ranged over the ship, hurling belaying pins and other missiles at the men, is the story brought in by the crew of the British steamer Braunfels from Caleutta. The ship carried a cargo of assorted jungle folk, and the escape of the mon- keys was brought about by Ligzie, a mascot baboon of the Braunfels. Lizzie, who had the freedom of the vessel, on March 11 made her way between decks, where the monkeys were confined, and liberated four hundred of the six hun- dred, which were in a large cage. The monkeys took to the rigging and for two days there was no rest among the officers or crew. According to the men the monkeys, led by a wiry tailed specimen, frequent- ly rushed down on the decks, picked up a belaying pin or other handy object, which they woulu let fly whenever an officer or sailor wallsed across the decks. Finally Capt. Weltman obtained a large quantity of molasses, mixed with it three quarts of strong brandy and, putting it in pants, placed it about the decks under the rigging where the mon- keys had congregated. Attracted by the sweet odor the monkeys lost no time in making for the pans and started to de- vuur the contents. Soon there were four hundred mon- keys staggering around the decks. This ended the trouble, for as soon as any showed signs of stupor the animals were picked up, two or three at a time, and placed back in the cages, where thev sobered up in a day. A tiger and a leopard also got oul while attendants were cleaning their cages. Henry Emmermann, their care- taker, was attacked and bitten through the right hand and clawed on the left side by the tiger before it was driven into the cage. The animals are consigned to Willlam Bartlett of New York. VAGRANTS ROB FRIENDLY JAIL NOBLESVILLE, Ind., April 18.—The Noblesville Jail was robbed.

BATTLESHIPS WELCOMED Al LOS ANGELES Admiral Thomas _ Receives Mayor and Gen. Chaffee in His Cabin. 7 ‘VESSELS ILLUMINATED

Fleet to Be Split Into Squad- rons So All May See Men O”’ War.

WILL REMAIN. A WEEK

Californians Plan to Show Sailors and Officers Some Western Hospitality.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 18.—Los Angeles sent more than 100,000 of its residents to the oceanside today to wel- come the American battleship fleet, which steamed into San Pedro Harbor, 22 miles away, in the full radiance of a midsummer sun and dropped anchor at 8:30 p. m. The 16 fighting vessels and three auxiliaries, leaving San Diego shortly after 6 o'clock this morning, had steamed up the 100 miles of surf-beaten coast in single column formation, 400 yerd apart, and in full view of thou- sands of persons w.o0 gathered at every vantage ,vint. With the Connecticut leading, and with ~ Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas on the bridge, the long line of ships point- ed within the breakwater at San Pedro Bay just haif an hour behind thelr sc.eduled time. “The Connecticut, Kansas, Vermont and Louisiana took up berths within the Sheltereq portion of the harbor. where they are to remain the full seven days of the fleet's visit, while the other 12 ships of the second, third and fourth di- visions’ reached out into the open water in a line nearly two miles long. Tonight the fleet was illuminated, hulis, superstructures, turrets and yard- arms being outlined in electric, bulbs. Admiral Thomas Welcoted. Mayor A. C. Harper, accompanied by Gen. Adna B. Chaffee and other mem- bers of the Los Angeles Reception Com- mittee, went by special steamer several milea down the coast to greet the fleet, but did not board th flagship Connecti- cut until the anchoring signal of multi- colored flags had dropped from the sig- nal yards. Admiral Thomas received the visitors in his cabin and thanked them for the cordial greetings. The stay of the fleet at the ports of Los Angeles during the next week is to be marked by the most elaborate program of _ entertainment, both for the enlisted men and Officers, the city has ever known. Tomorrow morning the fleet is to be split up in squadrons, in order that four of the Los Angeles ports may share in ‘the honor of entertaining. Some of the Features. The boxers of the. Atlantic fleet will Settle the championships in all classes; & Wild West show, with cowboys and animals imported from Arizona, will be given daily and there will be fireworks. - @oneerts and dances for the sailors, all Of whom will be carried from the beach- es to the city and back to the ships without charge. Chief among the many social affairs planned in hovor of the officers will pe a banquet at the Hotel Alexandria Mon- day evening; an automobile parade through the city for the Admirals and officers on Tuesday and a grand ball, _ where 250 officers will appear in full drése, at the Shriners’ Auditorium, on Wednesday evening. — WOMAN LOSES UMBRELLA WHEN MELODRAMA GROWS EXCITING; FINDS IT ON CAR Capt.

A mail chute from the room in the Times building afforded a convenient but ill-chosen exit for half a dozen newsboys and newsmen when a craps game there was raided last night by the gambling squad. The cries of those who threw and watched the dice were stilled as by magic when the detectives rushed into the room, and there was a wild scramble to escape. Some tried windows, some doors, but they found these places guarded and were intsantly under ar- rest. Others tried the chute. In anticipation of this, Special Officer Ward had been stationed in the press room at the bottom of the chute, on the first floor. The malling room is on the second floor, and the cliute is used for packages of newspapers. Negroes Block Chute. The first two to leap into the chute were negro newsboys, and Ward caught them as they were emerging feet first from it. Held thus, they effectually blocked those above. The commotion within the chute sur- passed a political caucus for liveliness. The cries of the prisoners, being muf.- fled by the enclosing walls, could hardly be heard a block. There was a great deal of kicking and squirming, and those above incurred the deep enmity of those below. Ward finally pulled them out one by one, and took them upstairs, where 40 others were being rounded up. Fifty in the Room, About fifty men and boys were in the room when the raid was made. Detec- tives White an@ Wells entered by the side door of the building, which its at Broadway and Chestnut street. Detec- tives Mooney and Schenck éntered by other doors, so as to cut off all exits. Ward remained below. As Wells entered the room he called out that all present were under arrest. a teller, clinched with De- tective White, an: they struggled across the room. A white-haired man, whose name was not learned, struck at Detect ive Wells, who warded the blow with his arm. The detective quieted this man and turned his attention to others who were trying to get away. pering, and the detectives allowed them to go home. Seventeen, said to have been in the circle around the dice, ‘were loaded into a patrol wagon and taken to the Cen- tral District Police Station. There, aft- er being questioned, all but four were released. The detectives say they have evidence that these four rolled the dice and made bets. They will be arraigned tomorrow. The four held are men--Phil Parker, alias Brock, a negro checker; John Smith, white, a teller; Albert Lablanche, a white checker, and Harry Smith, a negro paper vendor. Detective Weils reported that for two months the gambling squad had suspect- ed a craps game was going on in the Times: Building, but had been unable to get evidence untill it caused two men to join.the game. It was decided to make a raid last night after the carriers had turned in thir money to the tellers. “There are some professional gamblers sure thing men—who got access to the game solely that they might fleece the newsboys,” Detective Wells said. ‘‘They were the ones we wanted to get. Our two men will testify against the men who are held.” BOARDER COMPLAINS; HIS LANDLADY TAKES POISOK Mrs. Maggie Mann. 48-years old, a widow, of 611 South Broadway, took car- bolic acid in an alley a block from het home last night, after her boarder, Sam Hommelismann, complained that his room was not properly cared for.

QUNCES RICH CONTRACTOR FOR SALARIED CLERK Mrs. Virginia Bambrick Asks Court to Annul Her Strange Marriage.

SHE BLAMES COCKTAILS

Says She Was Under the In- fluence of Liquor When She Eloped to Clayton.

Virginia Nelson Bambrick, brunette, Mrs. a pretty, is asking the courts to annul her marriage to Patrick stylish Bambrick, a wealthy contractor, because she loves the sweetheart of her child- hood, a salaried clerk in a Louisville tobacco warehouse. The clerk, however, has written her since the marriage that all is over. be- tween them, and her prayers for forgive- ness have been unavailing. She hopes in time, though, to win him back, if she is successful in having her mar- riage declared void. Bride the Only Witness. Testimony in the suit, in which the 21-year-old bride was the only witness, was heard in the Circuit Court at Clay- ton Friday. Because of the peculiar features of the case, Judge McElhinney took it under advisement until tomor- row. at 09 : Mrs. Bambrick testified that at the time of the marriage both she and the bridegroom were so confused -by drink that on the following day neither could remember whether the ceremony had really taken place, and that Bambrick went to Clayton to examine the rec- ords before he was assured of the fact. Her Story of Marriage. Mrs. Bambrick at the home of her parents, 3634A Forest Park boulevard, told a Post-Dispatch reporter last night the story of her acquaintance with the young contractor. “Although Mr. Bambrick operates a quarry right across the street from my home,”’ she said, “I did not know him until a few months ago, when we were introduced by a common friend. “He showed me many attentions, tak- ing me driving and to dinner. I es- teemed him highly, but did not love him. “On the afternoon of Jan. 4, by ar- rangement, he called for me in an au- tomobile. We drove first to a road- house, Too Many Cocktails. — “We had dinner there, and he or- dered two cocktails. I had never drunk anything stronger than beer before and I refused for a while to taste them. But he insisted that they were harm- less, and finally I swallowed the liquid. I drank several more cocktails—how many I have no idea. “At last, as we were sitting there he took my hand and told me he was in love with me and begged me to mar- ry him. I told him I had been engaged to another man; whom I loved, but Mr. Bambrick was so importunate that I felt myself yielding. “We then took the car to Clayton and went to Authenrieth’s Hotel, where we had supper and more cocktails. I allowed Mr. Bambrick and Charles Anthenrieth to lead me to the home of the Rev. W..M. Langtry; a Presbyte- rian minister in Clayton. Asked to Be Taken Home. Bambrick was on. the way “It is not true that Mr. so intoxicated that he fell to the. preacher's. He was, in fact, in much better condition than myself. “When we were married, the memory of my sweetheart in. Louisville flashed over me, and I dem&nded that I be taken home immediately. “I threatened to go home alone if he didn’t take me, and then he yielded. We reached home at 10:30 p. m., and I have never been alone with him a sec- ond since.’’ The bride says that Bambrick has re- peatedly urged her to become his wife in fact as well as in name, and tried to dissuade her from bringing annulment proceedings. He was in Clayton during the trial, but did not enter the courtroom. Bambrick’s Father Talks. Mr. Bambrick ,refused to discuss his matrimonial experience when seen by @ Post-Dispatch reporter. His father, John Bambrick, said: “The young men of today are a frolic- some lot. “All IT know about my son's case ‘8 what the newspapers say. From this it may be judged I am not a very proud father-in-law and:I sort of wish things weren't as they are. But I was a young man once and I liked to go around and have a good time and because I can re- member some things I did in those days that I would be ashamed of now, I am just going to wish Pat all the joy he deserves, ‘But the time for talk is past. “Let the children free themselves if they will: if not,..may they remain tied for better or worse. I'll certainly do all I can to help them, if Judge McElhinney doesn't annul the marriage. “lI know Pat is a good boy, for he is one of the best workingmen I've got and I hope he won't have any further bad luck. I hope the same for Virginia, whom I've never seen.”

WHAT'S HUSBAND WORTH? $3000, WIFE DECID

a The problem “What is a husband worth " has been solved in the case of Daniel Morris, the village blacksmith of Lebanon, Ill. He has paid his wife a sum said to be $3000, and she has agreed, in consideration of that money, tv ask an absolute divorce and relinquish ali claims ‘on him. In the first emotion that welled in the breast of Mrs. Morris, it seemed to her that $25,000 would be smal! compensation for the loss of her husband. He was worth every dollar of that, she thought, and she wouldn't cheapen him by ac- cepting less, save at the Court's order. So she nam that amount in her allenation suit against Mra. Katherine Elias, A wealthy widow, also of Leban- on, who moved to Nevada. Mo., at the same time Morris closed his smithy and moved there. $1750, Says Other Woman But Mrs. Elias placed another valua- tion on Morris. She thought that $176 would be a liberal amount to pay for him, and she offered that amount to Mrs. Morris as a compromise. Thereup- en rose the perplexing question of the value Of husbands generally. Daniel Morris in particular. The situation was further complicated when Morris came forward and sald Mrs. Morris could have part of his eé- tate, as well as the custody of her minor son, then with the father, if she would sue him for a total divorce and drop her suit for separate maintenance, as well as her alienation suit against Mrs. Elias. it Was reported from Nevada lagt night that Mrs. Morris had accepted his terms, beget $3000 in, Fence age thas recently es

TAFT PREDICTS TARIFF REVISION WITHIN A YEAR >. >

Says Many Believe Such Ac- tion Should Follow Presi- dential Election.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 18.—Secretary of War Taft arrived in the city this after- noon to spend two days boosting Paft sentiment. The big Secretary looked a bit jaded, and there were dark rings under his eyes, reflecting the strain un- der which he has been in the last few months, making speechés and covering thousands of miles in his political trav- els. He was as jolly as ever, and laughed away the story that he is about to resign. ‘‘Do you think there is any likelfhood that the tariff will be revised before the next President is inaugurated?” he was asked. “That matter is now under considera- tion by the leaders of Congress, and they will reach a conclusion in a short time,’’ was the reply. Soon After Election. “There is a consensus of opinion that the tariff should be revised just as soon after the presidential election as it can be done, consistently with a thorough and intelligent investigation of the sub- ject,”” he added. “Is it planned to name a commission of experts to investigate the matter in the interval?”’ “That is the plan recommended by the President,’’ was -the reply. “I don’t know just what the leaders of Congress will do." . “How long will the revision take?" “You can judge of that by the time it took to pass the Dingley law.” Secretary Taft declined to discuss pol- itics. ‘“‘There is a very strong Taft or- ganization here in New York,” he was told. His only response was a hearty laugh. : WARNER AND PRIESMEYER WILL BE TRIED TOMORROW Delegates Accused of Bribery and Perjury Will Face Former Charge First. The bribery’ cases against Freda W.

Capt. Hodges suggested that a Wixford water foun- tain be erected in front of the new Car- negie Library at Thirteenth and Olive streets. Capt. Hodges was elected chairman and the Rev. Jacob Meeker, pastor of the Compton Heights Congregational Church secretary. George E. Harris, president of the Lumbermen’s’ Ex- change, said he thought it was high time that Mr. Wixford was given the recognition to which his work entitled him. He said that the Lumbermen’'s Exchange had adopted a_ resoluticn thanking Mr. Wixfor1 for the service he had rendered the city. Mr. Harris said the American people were great at pass- ing resolutions, but he deemed the time ripe to do something of a more substan- tial nature for the chemist. Decrease in Death Rate. A letter was read from H. M. Ed- wards, secretary to the Board of Health, stating that since the water has been purified by the Wixford process the death rate in St. Louis has decreased 10 per cent, and the cases of malaria and typhoid fever 90 per cent. Mr. Edwards expressed himself’ a& lveartily in sym- pathy with the movement to honor Mr. Wixford. Erich Picker, a member of the Merchants’ Exchange, said he was satisfied that each of the 1800 members of the exchange would gladly contribute $2 or more to a Wixford fund. Miss Anna Il. Sharkey, W. A. Wheel- ing ‘and Perry Post Taylor made speeches. Capt. Hodges said that several prominent business men who could not attend the meeting had express- ed sympathy with the movements He mentioned Hanford Crawford, of the Scruggs-Vandervoort-Barney Dry Goods Co. and A. C. Stewart, former president of the Police Board, as inter- ested in seeing that justice be done to Mr. Wixfor i, who, as one of the speak- ers at the meeting said, was carried as a laborer at $6 a day on the city’s pay- roll at the time the system of water clarification and purification was per- fected and put into use.

a plano? Ralph Coale, President of the Jef- ferson Club, has found a new way to conduct his duel with Benjamin F.. Gray Jr., President of the Board of Police Commissioners. He is going to make Mr. Gray look funny in a parody. Somebody wrote a song entitled, ‘“‘Good-by, Dolly Gray." That’s the cue. Mr. Coale, accompanied by Harry B. Hawes, strolled up Olive street yester- day afternoon. Into an Olive” street stepped Mr. Coale and Mr. Hawes. “Eiow many copies of ‘Good-by, Dollie Gray,’ have you in stock,’ asked Coale. “About 634,812,910," said the clerk. “T’'ll take them all,’ cried Mr. Coale, Further up the street Coale and Hawes happened to notice a phono- graph store. They bought the visible supply of “His Master's Voice’ chro- mos. “Nice Easter cards for Gray,” Coale. . “T understand that Mr. Coale is figur- ing on a parody entitled ‘Good-by Bennie Gray,’ said Mr. Hawes over the tele- phone. “You know they have a piano at the Jefferson Club.” PRESIDENT COALE SENDS AN EASTER GARD TO GRAY If President Coale of the Jefferson Club keeps the word he gave to a Post- Dispatch reporter yesterday, Police Commisioner Gray will receive an Eas- ter card today.

Policemen of the Manchester Avenue Station have received orders to appre- hend without delay, and at all cost, two highwaymen who robbed Miss Jennie O'Leary of 343 North Market street, last night. She was on her way home, and as she was passing 3672 West Pine boule- vard, two bold robbers met her. One was 12 years old and the other 14. Both wore knee trousers and caps. Passing her on either side, one snatched her purse, which contained $35, an both ran as fast as they could. Patrolman Hess arrived in time to hear her description of the robbers and go to the station and report the rob- } ary CIRCUIT JUDGES FAIL 16 ELECT JURY COMMISSIONER Republican Members Are Said to Be in a Hopeless Deadlock. After an hour's debate and ballot- ing the 12 circuit judges of St. Louis were unable to elect a Jury Commis- sioner to succeed James Corcoran yesterday, and postponed the elec- tion until next Saturday. It is stated the Republican mem- bers of the bench are hopelessly di- vided between five candidates, and that unless seven are able to combine on one man, a Republican candidate will necessarily have to get some Democratic votes to elect him. It was said vesterday there was even a possibility that Corcoran, a Demo- crat, might be re-elected, although eight of the 12 judges are Repub- licans. Seven votes are required to elect. The candidates considered by the judges in their secret session yester- day were Nicholas R. Wall, George B. Teasdale, Amos Seaman, Frank Camp- bell, Richard P. McClure and James Corcoran, The judges agreed they would not discuss the election or tell "how the votes stood. One judge, however, said many ballots were taken. and that the Republicans were hopelessly divided. Corcoran has served as Jury Com- missioner for four years. A year ago the Republican judges, who had then become a majority of the judiciary of St. Louis, sought to displace him. They elected Teasdale. Corcoran re- fused to vacate the office, contend- ing he had been elected for a definite term of four years and had served only three. He brought a suit tn the Supreme Court to prevent the judges from ousting him, and his position was sustained.

If John Burke of 4347 Beck ave- nue had known that particular pig wassofarfrom particular as to what it ate, he would have bought another pig. But he didn't know, and in blissful tgnorance tied the pig into a gunnysack, heaved it into the end of his peddler’'s wagon and started home, via Broadway, from Lucas ave- nue.to Chestnut street, thence west to Grand avenue. The end of the gunnysack was pig- gy’s lunch, It ate right p> ally and when Burke glanced casual); back on reaching Grand avenue, pig- gy had escaped. : That was Monday. Ever since then Burke has been advertising assidu- ously for his pig, “lost somewhere downtown. When Burke read the account in the Post-Dispatch Monday about the eacape of Minnie the Pig and Nannie the Goat, trained animals which es- ecaped on Chestnut, he thought at first the pig might be his, but found it wasn’t, and in disappointment re- sorted to advertising. So far he has heard nothing. Burke wants to know if you have seen an ownerless pig. . JUDGE MUENCH REFUSES TO ACCEPT SCHAWACKER ON BOND Court Says Security Is Not Enough to Gain Bank Thief’s Release.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LINDSBORG,. Kan., April 18.—Gov. Johnson of Minnesota was weleomed at Bethany College here this afternoon by an audience of several thousand. The college is conducted under Swedish Lu- theran auspices. As he entered the big auditorium, ev- ery person in the assemblage arose to his feet and from the hand of etery man, woman and child there fluttered a handkerchief. “I have always desired to visit Linds- borg,’ said Gov. Johnson. ‘In Mitmne- sota we have the same class of col- lege in the Gustavus Adolphus College.

If a public officer does this, I am one of tnose who believe that we are beginning to travel the road toward anarchy.” Gov.

I say that such a proceeding is not right; it is a refleétion of the policy of centralization of power that takes from you and me our State’s rights.’’ Following his address, Gov.

In reply he wired from Lindsborg, Kan.: ‘Story of late interview at Omaha, in which I am quoted as saying Mr. Bryan is a “has been,”’ is ridiculously and absurd- ly false.

GOV. JOHN A. vUeaesur. TAFT. APPROVES $51,000,000 PLA FOR WATERWAYS Advocates a Permanent Com- mission for This and Other Improvements.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Secretary of War Taft today gave his approval to ine plan to create a permanent inland Waterways commission, which shall be provided with a $50,000,000 fund and given power to initiate projects for river improvements, irrigation, reclama- tion of arid lands, draining swamp land, preserving forests and leasing water rights on navigable streams. The Secretary's opinion is contained in a letter to the Senate Committee on Commerce, approving the provisions of tne Newlands bill. This bill carries out the ideas of the President on internal The only material change Secretary Taft suggests in the bill is one preserving to the army engineers of the War De- partment the authority they have pos- to execute river improvement projects. The plan to co-ordinate river improvements, for- est preservation, irrigation, drainage and similar government works, Secretary Taft considers ‘‘wise and reasonable.” Unused Rivers Show Need, He also believes it advisable for the fovernment to co-operate in this work with states, municipalities, corporations and individuals. Such a course, he says, is necessary because of the density of population aiong the rivers and the overlapping of interests. The unused rivers of the country says the Secretary, are proof of the need of correlating the various bureaus of the denartments of war, interior, agriculture and commerce and labor which handle different branches of river improvements and allied projects. The Newlands bill provides that the verious bureaus shall work under the Injand Waterways Commission, which in turn shall be directly under the Presi- cent. War Department's Piace. Regarding this plan, Secretary Taft euys in defense of his own department: “Tt does not appear that the measure would interfere with the functions of the War Department, or with the con- tinuation and extension of the engineer- ing work now performed there, but it ix believed that the provision for admin- istration would tend to promote the general welfare.’’ He approves the provision of the Gov- ernment to lease water power rights on navigable streams for limited terms on- ly and to make a charge for leases. Such, he says, is the present policy of the War Department. While approving the provisions that the Commission shall initiate improve- ment projects he suggests that this would ndét do away with the War De- partment machinery for carrying the plans into effect. Such a commission, he says, supplies ‘‘a tribunal other than Congress charged with originating and developing satisfactory plans.”’ Army Chief on Board. He urges amendments to the bill to do away with ambiguity as to the powers of the War Department over water- ways. Such amendments, he says, should provide that the chief of army engineers be a member of the Water- ways Commission and that military en- gineers be detailed to the service of the Commission. ; He also suggests a number of minor amendments to overcome constitutional! and legal objections to the bill. The chief of these is to make it clear that the Newlands bill, broad as it is, only intends to give the Government charye of such works as concern the preserva- tion and improvement of the navigable streams and protection of intestate and foreign commerce. Only with such pur- poses can the bill be constitutional. SENDS HER $160 TO LAUNDRY Gets Pillowslip Back, but Her Sav- ings Are Missing. The savings of Miss Saffronia EF.

Anna Gould, after years of such fering as is seldom recorded in the unctious Prince Helle de Sagan fulfilled. | Howard Gould has brought astound ing charges against his wife, who was suf. known as Katherine Clemmons when she was on the stage, and she, in turn, has accused him of most of the lapses of morality known to the social gal calendar. their noisome courts, but whatever the final result, it is certain that nothing could in- duce them ever to live together again. Frank Gould the Latest. And now young Frank Gould, “Helen's baby,”” as he used to be called, be- cause of the devotion so generously lavished on him by Miss Helen Gould, is in trouble. His beautiful young wife, whom he married just because he was sued him for a limited divorce. . This head over heels in love with her, has means that she refuses to live with him, although she does not charge him with. any statutory offense. Such a decree would not permit gither to remarry. George Gould ang his brother Edwin, alone of the children of the street railroad manipulator and Wall street gambler of a generation ago, have made a success of married life. Miss Helen Gould has chosen single life and devotion to philanthropy. It is hard to say which of the three other members of the house of Gould is the most unfortunate. But perhaps the troubles of young Frank Gould are most entitled to sympathy; he is so much younger than the others, and at the worst, his youth was to blame for many of his difficulties. There is yet hope, in spite of his fair young wife's vow never to forgive him, that the differences will be healed after the two Nave had a chance to think things over and consider the welfare of their two children.

August Brooker Sues to Re- cover $500,000 for Guar- anty Corporation.

LAWYER IS WITNESS

Eben Richards Tells of Agree- ment for Bonus to Bank. —_—_- Eben Richards, formerly a St. Louis residing in New York, Kinsey's attorney, now testified yesterday court regarding the details of the or- ganization of the Title Guaranty Trust Company, which he promoted in 1901, as a corporation, to buy eleven titlevpiants in St. Louis. His testimony brought by August Brooker, holder in the corporation, who seeks to compel the return to the company’s treasury of $500,000 received by Rich- ards and seventeen associates, who pro- moted the company. The testimony was completed vester- day afternoon and Judge Sale will hear the arguments of the attorneys May 12. in Judge was given in a suit a stock- Underwriting Agreement Made. There was introduced in evidence an underwriting agreement between Rich- ards, the other defendants and the Na- tional Bank of Commerce, in which it was agreed there should be added to the amount necessary for the purchase of the title plants $500,000, which should be used as a bonus or profit to those or- ganizing the company. It is this $500,000 Brooker seeks to have returned to the treasury, alleging the agreement between the defndants was illigal ang unfair to other stockhold- ers. Under this agreeent, which, it is al- eged was carried out, the Title Guar- anty Trust Company was incorporated or $2,250,000. Of this the defendants, with the exception of Richards, sub- scribed for 2000 shares, paying $300,000. They received 1333 shares, valued at $200,000,. as their part of the $500,000 bonus, without cost, it is alleged. Richards subscribed for 667 chares, paving $100,000, and received as his por- tion of the bonus 2000 shares, valued at $200,000. There were sold to the public 9000 sahres, for $1,350,000.

Would Rather His Son Former Than That i Would Break Bones in He Should Go in for Latter, Says Connolly.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, April 18.—James B. Con- nolly, writer of marine stories, former Olympic games champion, persona! friend of President Roosevelt and au- thority on athletics in this country, was seen at his home, on Columbia Road, Dorchester, relative to the interview be- tween President Roosevelt and Martin J. Sheridan, the all-round champion of the l’nited States, published in the Post- Dispatch. Connolly is the present holder of the American record for the triple leap, 49 feet % inch. That record was made in 1908, when Connolly, Ellery Clark and Thomas Burke, the present holder of the 600-yard-run record, were members of the Olympic team that went to Ath- ens. Connolly said: “Tt is no sprprise to me that the Pres- ident took an immediate interest in Mar- tin Sheridan at the White House the other day. Martin is the greatest ath- lete now living. There is probably not a greater track athlete in this country or Europe than Sheridan. I want to_ see him go to London next year and wit the all-round championship. Type Roosevelt Likes. “But to get back to Roosevelt and the President. The Sheridan type of ath- lete, the perfectly proportioned body, with the intelligent mind and undaunted nerve, appeals to the President. I have never met the President for more than a five-minute talk that we did not get onto athletics. Whether at Washington: or at Oyster Bay, in the middle of a Congressional session or a summer's rest, you always get the President on two things—athlietics and the navy. ‘‘Not long after I returned from the Olympic. games at Athens, two years ago, the President stood for a_ two- hours’ talk on athletics at Oyster Bay. It was there I first made him acquainted with the quality of the immortal Mar- tin, and he said, ‘At that, he’s just an ordinary policeman.’ “Above all things, the President likes clean sport. I doubt if he would ap- prove of President Eliot’s stand on ath- letics. The President recognizes the fact that young men may give more physical energy than ,their spiritual de- velopment is equal t6 taking care of, therefore, he believes in a natural and wholesome outlet. er that his own boy should break his collar bone a dozen times a season in dangerous sport than that he should for one hour in his life go in for the sport- ing life, so called. Must Have a Mind, Too. “If a boy's veins run ice water, it is all right; he can take his exercise in judicious doses and at regular periods as prescribed, but if he is the healthy, human, lovable boy, he will want té go the limit now and then, and so far no better agency than athletics has been devised for that purpose. “The President, above all, admires the man who combines physical, men- tal and moral excellency, of that he sees an exemplification in the great ath- lete. No man attains the Sheridan standard of all-round ability unless to fine physique he adds unusual intelli- gence, and with them he must combine a large measure of moral self-restraint. “fl am not saying that he can never smoke a cigar or drink his glass of ale or claret, but he must not do it simply because he happens to feel like it, and there I think you have some views in- dorsed by the President, and therein its why he would rather see a champion athlete come in the White House door

than many a statesman of note.”’

FINGER TAP MAY PROLONG LIFE OF DOOMED SLAYER FOR TWO MONTHS MORE:

Careless Stenographer Hits Wrong Key in Dating Respite to Murderer. Because a careless stenographer hit the wrong typewriter key, the life of Bill Jeffries, under sentence to hang at St. Charles, May 4, may be prolonged two months. Sheriff Hines, tied anyhow, at who is a little bit wor- the approach of the first legal execution since he assumed o'fice, is still more deeply perturbed over this latest faux pas. “It will be remembered,’’ as the Wash- ington correspondents say, that when Jeffries’ sentenée was affirmed by the Supreme Court, no official notification was given, through some clerical] over- sight, to the offcials at St. Charles, and Jeffries’ lawyers made a fight and de- laved the execution on this ground. Then Gov. Folk granted a 30-days’ respite from April 4, to date set for the Langing. The official notification of the respite reached St. Charles finally and vester- Jay a mistake was found. At the bot- tom the stenographer intended to date it thus: Mar. 4, 1908. What he wrote was this: May 4, 1908. Now Sheriff Hines wondering whether he must delay Ahe execution until 30 days after May 4. Residents of St. Charles have sent a petition to Gov. Folk asking him to refrain from ‘urther interference, and Sheriff Hines knows the feeling there against Jef- fries.

August Brooker Sues to Re- cover $500,000 for Guar- anty Corporation.

LAWYER IS WITNESS

Fben Richards Tells of Agree- ment for Bonus to Bank.

Eben Richards, formerly a St. Louis in New York, Kinsey's attorney, now residing testified yesterday court regarding the details of the or- ganization of the Title Guaranty Trust Company, which he promoted in 1901, as a corporation, to buy eleven title™piants in St. in Judge Louis. His testimony brought by August Brooker, holder in the corporation, who seeks to compel the return to the company’s treasury of $500,000 received by Rich- ards and seventeen associates, who pro- moted the company. The testimony was completed vester- day afternoon and Judge Sale will hear the arguments of the attorneys May 12. was given in a suit a stock- Underwriting Agreement Made. There was introduced in evidence an underwriting agreement between Rich- ards, the other defendants and the Na- tional Bank of Commerce, in which it was agreed there should be added to the amount necessary for the purchase of the title plants $500,000, which should be used as a bonus or profit to those or- ganizing the company. It is this $500,000 Brooker seeks to have returned to the treasury, alleging the agreement between the defndants was iligal ang unfair to other stockhold- ers. Under this agreeent, which, it is al- leged was carried out, the Title Guar- anty Trust Company was incorporated for $2,250,000. Of this the defendants, with the exception of Richards, sub- scribed for 2000 shares, paying $300,000. They received 1333 shares, valued at $200,000, as their part of the $500,000 bonus, without cost, it is alleged. Richards subscribed for 667 chares, paving $100,000, and received as his por- tion of the bonus 2000 shares, valued at $300,000. There were sold to the public 9000 sahres, for $1,350,000. This’ subscription, ..according to the testimony, was taken principaily by the trust companies of St. Louis. ee Many Capitalists Defendants. The defendants to Brooker's suit are William H. Thompson, Murray Carle- ton, James W. Bell, S. M. Dodd, L. D. Dozier. August Gehner, W. J. Holbrook, Thomas H. West, Breckenridge Jones, Thomas H. McKittrick, H. Clay Pierce, Eben Richards, E. C.

He laughs at the fellows from different parts of the county with a record for only 3 eggs ut one sitting. Lewis’ egg eat- ing record has attracted wide atten- tion.

ROOSEVELT FAVORS SPORT, BUT NOT SPORTING LIFE Sain a a»

i ie Would Rather His Son Would Break Bones in Former Than That He Should Goin for Latter, Says Connolly.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, April 18.—James B. Con- nolly, writer of marine stories, former Olympic games champion, persona! friend of President Roosevelt and au- thority on athletics in this country, was seen at his home, on Columbia Road, Dorchester, relative to the interview be- tween President Roosevelt and Martin J. Sheridan, the all-round champion of the United States, published in the Post- Dispatch. Connolly is the present holder of the American record for the triple leap, 49 feet % inch. That record was made in 1908, when Connolly, Ellery Clark and Thomas Burke, the present holder of the 600-yard-run record, were members of the Olympic team that went to Ath- ens. Connolly said: “Tt is no sprprise to me that the Pres- ident took an immediate interest in Mar- tin Sheridan at the White House the other day. Martin is the greatest ath- lete now living. There is probably not a greater track athlete in this country or Europe than Sheridan. I want to. see him go to London next year and wit the all-round champtonship. Type Roosevelt Likes. “But to get back to Roosevelt and the President. The Sheridan type of ath- lete, the perfectly proportioned body, with the tntelligent mind and undaunted nerve, appeals to the President. I have never met the President for more than a five-minute talk that we did not get onto athletics. Whether at Washington: or at Oyster Bay, in the middle of a Congressional session or a summer's rest, you always get the President on two things—athletics and the navy. ‘‘Not long after I returned from the Olympic games at Athens, two years ago, the President stood for a_ two-

hours’ talk on athletics at Oyster Bay. It was there I first made him acquainted with the quality of the immortal Mar- tin, and he said, ‘At that, he’s just an ordinary policeman.’ “Above all things, the President likes clean sport. I doubt if he would ap- prove of President Eliot's stand on ath- letics. The President recognizes the fact that young men may give more physical energy than ,their spiritual de- velopment is equal td taking care of, therefore, he believes in a natural and wholesome outlet. er that his own boy should break his colar bone a dozen times a season in dangerous sport than that he should for one hour in his life go in for the sport- ing life, so called. Must Have a Mind, Too, “If a boy's veins run ice water, it is all right; he can take his exercise in judicious doses and at regular periods as prescribed, but if he is the healthy, human, lovable boy, he will want té go the limit now and then, and so far no better agency than athletics has been devised for that purpose. “The President, above all, admires the man who combines physical, men- tal and moral excellency, of that he sees an exemplification in the great ath- lete. No man attains the Sheridan standard of all-round ability unless to fine physique he adds unusual intelli- gence, and with them he must combine a large measure of moral self-restraint. “fl am not saying that he can never smoke a cigar or drink his glass of ale or claret, but he must not do it simply because he happens to feel like it, and there I think you have some views in- dorsed by the President, and therein ts why he would rather see a champion athlete come in the White House door than many a statesman of note.”

WRI

TES FROM PRISON TO A MEXICAN — FIND MOTHER

Two Other Seekers for Relatives.

Three persons in search of lost rela- tives appeal to Post-Dispatch readers for aid in searching for them. Mrs. Caroline M.. Waitman of 2820 Arlington avenue is trying to find her sister, Rozella Crawford, whom she has not seen since Rozella was a _ Dbluc- eyed, brown-haired girl of 9. The lost sister has a scar by buruing across four fingers or her right hand, between the second and third joints Mrs. Waitman was ane of six chil- dren, and her mother died in their in- fancy. Nathaniel Crawford, the father, took Rozalla away with him in 1834, and died in 1902 in Green Ridge, Mo., witt- out letting the other children know what had become of her. Mrs. Waitman’'s telephone number 15 Forest 4147, and she says she will be glad to hear anything that may lead to finding her sister. Writes From Mexican Prison. From a prison in Old Mexico, Charles Ross writes the Post-Dispatch for aid in finding his mother, Mrs. A. J. Ross. He is in Jail in Vera Cruz, and says he

fears he will not get out for a year He has not heard from his mother for a long time, and wishes to correspond with her. Alma Speckard asks for aid in find- ing her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George C. Speckard, of whom she has heard nothing for eight years. They then lived at 2615 Gravois avenue, and her father was an employe of a street car company. Three Others Lost. Wickmann, 21 years old, a farmhand, living near Florisant, St. Louis County, has asked the Post- Dispatch to assist him in finding his brother and sister, George and Mary Wickmann, who, he says, lived near Thirteenth and Biddle streets in 1899. He has heard nothing’ of them since that time. Henry Wickmann's parents died was a small child, and his when he brother and sister, wno were wae s placeqd him in an orphans’ home. sister called there to see him nine years ago. Wickmann says his sister,may be married now, as he thinks she was engaged to be married when he last Henry —_ ee

‘Mrs. Bowman Bought Out the _ 4 Other Heirs of Ex- Sheriff.

Mrs. Virginia J. Bowman of is East Twelfth street, Alton, the richest woman in Madison County. She owns more than two thousand acres of rich farm lands in the American Bottoms and several hundred acres more on the beautiful Piasa Bluffs, above Alton. She Manages this huge estate per- sonally. Her husband is the owner and proprietor of one of the largest de- partment stores in Alton, and his busi- ness takes all his time. Her land extends east, west north and south. On whichever side ‘ she looks from her handsome home in Alton, she may see jJand which is hers and Which she has in her power to ‘use to gratify every wish. But Mrs. Bowman is not going to use all this property foolishly; she is an up-to-date business woman, has had much experi- ence and is well qualified for her task. She holds the land as an investment, and while she is collecting the rents she also -proposes to divftle the property up and place it on the market. She will direct the sale in person, and expects to double, triple and quadruple the original prices. The property includes lands in Wood- river and Chouteatr townships, _tra- versed by electric and steam railroads, directly on the river front, with good landing facilities. The Standard Oil works and the [Federal Lead Co. are among the large manufacturing plants that have picked out locations on the Bowman property. Directly east of East Alton lies a 100- acre tract in the heart of the melon- raising district on the American Bot- toms. another large tract adjoins the Kast Alton Tile Works. The Bowman property also includes 400 acres at KEd- wardsville Crossing, through which five railroads run. The land here also fronts the Mississippi. Another piece of land in the Bowman property is where the town now called Niagara is. This town lies about one- half mile from East Alton northwest towards Alton, and extends towards the old Chessen racetracks, Three hundred acres in the Bowman estate are located on the Piasa Bluffs above Alton, a choice spot for valuable suburban homes. Mrs. Bowman came into of all this property partly tance from her father and partly by purchase, Previous his death Mr. 4 B. Job, Mrs. Bowman's father, at one time Sheriff of Madison County and its largest land owner, divided an entire section of land among his four children, Mrs, Virginia J. Bowman. AI- ton; Miss Alice Job, Alton: I. W. Job. Alton, and Z. B. Job Jr. of Chicago, each getting a quarter section. When he died, Imst November, Mr. Job left no will and the children began a squabble about the division of the rest of the property. Miss Alice Job filed a suit, asking for the partition and the appointment;of a receiver. H. B. Sparks was appointed as receiver for the 18 acres left in the Job estate. At this juncture Mrs. Bowman ap- pearad with a plan. She had been figur- ing on the valuable prospects of the land and saw a forfune in the investment. As a resuit she pought up the other heirs for $100,%0 an@ became sole owner of the estate. The Mceiver was discharged and last weck thé deeds of the proprty were trensferred to Mrs. Bowman. Fhe not anpear to be unduly elated over+her great responsibility as owner and manager of property cover- ing 2000 acres. She exhibited a genuine touch of human nature in speaking of the matter, when she said: “I am the mother of five children besides and am proud of it—prouder of that than I am of all the property I possess and man- age.’ is and possession by inheri- to does

PILLS ARE TOO HIGH

Declares Prices Jumped With- out Reason and Refuses to: Pay.

| ELECTRIC LIGHT BILLS SAID TO BE EXORBITANT January February August September October November December

An ordinance authorizing the city to inspect and test electric meters is be- Schaefer of 3928 like thousands ing prepared by H. L. Cleveland avenue, of others, finds himself without.a reme- dy to check the constant increase in his illuminatién bills. Mr. Schaefer will have his bill intro- duced in the Municipal Assembly by Councilman Cramer. He will advocate its passage as relief from what he says amounts practically to oppression by the Union Electric Light and Power monop- oly. Mr. Schaefer has refused to pay his March bill for $7.09. The bill is nearly three times as much as his bill for the same month last year. Mr. Schaefer its waiting for the com- pany to attempt to turn off the current, and he will then ask the courts for an injunction. He declares that the bill is unjust and exorbitant. Differcnee in the Bills. His bill for March, 1907, was $2.45. He says the company in January installed a new meter in his premises and that it works overtime to run up his bills. During the 10 years that he has been using electric light Mr. Schaefer says his bills have never been so high. Un- der protest he paid his February bill for $6.78, which was.$2.94-more than his bill for February last year. “I have notified the Union Electric Light and Power Co. that the bill is ex- orbitant,’’ said Mr. Schaefer to a Post- Dispatch reporter. ‘I will not pay it. When I refused to pay the February bill the company threatened to turn my lights off. If the company attempts to do that I shall get out an injunction to stop it. When I complained to Presi- dent Powelson of the Union company he told me to make my complaint to the city and have my .meters tested. Authorities Have No Power. “T went to the City Hall and found that there is no city official with au thority to inspect electric meters, al- though the Lighting Department has the power to inspect gas meters. I am there- fore preparing an ordinance to give the city the power to inspect the electric meters. “I know that I am not consuming any- thing like the &mount of electricity that I am charged with. My bilis were nev- er, during the 10 years I have used elec- tric light, more than $4.50 a month until the new meters were put in. I am in- formed by the company that my meter stopped working three times last sum- mer. That was no fault of mine. ‘‘The company scems now to be trying to make up all that my meter stop to make up all at once what it thinks it lost on me by the defection of its own meter, “The company now has a meter in my premises that seems to be work- ing fast enough to satisfy the greed of the trust. In the present situation I have no way of defending myself. 1 must either stand for the exorbitant charges or be left in the dark.”’ Prior to. the installation of the new meter, of which Mr. Schaefer complains, his average monthly bills were $2.62. Since the meter began, as he says, work- ing overtime, his bills average $6.93 a month. He declares that he does not consume any more electricity now than he has at any time during the past i0 years, Lets the Case Go to Court, Schuyler C. Hodge of 946 Belt avenue is resisting in a Justice’s court the pay- ment of a bill for $12 for alleged serv- ice by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. Mr. Hodge had electricity installed in his apartments last Sep- tember. He found that his monthly bills were running up to $5, when they should not have been more than $3. He made seyv- eral complaints to the company, and finally refused to pay the bills. “Three weeks after I had paid my bills under protest,” said Mr. Hodge, “the company sent &@& man out to turn my lights off. As I did not owe the company anything at that time I re- fused to let the man into the house to disconnect the service. “The janitor chased him out of the basement. It was a cold, sleety night, but he climbed the fire escape to the roof, crawled over the ledge and nipped the wires that furnished service to my apartment, “Before he could get down I had my rooms, brilliantly lighted with gas. The night before he had turned off the light tM one of my neighbors’ apart- ments, thinking he was getting me. “After the service had been discon- who,

tinued I got a bill for $9.44, which I refused to pay. The company then sued me in Justice Sanders’ court for $12.44.

City Clerk Henry H. Brockman of Jerseyville, Ill., has refuseqd to have the local option proposition printed on the official ballot for the city elec- tion in Jerseyville Tuesday. A few days after the Anti-Saloon League filed a petition last February to submit the proposition at the Jer- sey Township election, the saloon- keepers of Jerseyville circulated and filed a petition regularly under the law to have the question submitted again at the city election. The pe- ittion has.never been withdrawn. At the township election held on Tuesday, April 7, the saloons were voted out by 85 majority, and the saloonkeepers have filed a suit to contest the election. The hearing is to be held in the County Court in Jerseyville Monday. A committee from the Law-and- Order League, which was recently or- ganized in Jerseyville, waited upon City Clerk Brockman and demanded that he print the proposition on the city ballots, contending that under the law he could pursue no other course. The clerk took the matter under advisement, and later refused to sub- mit the question. Cat, Off Nese While Shaving.

This, however, was considered bad taste on the part of the actress. “Snobbery,” He Says. “American society is exclusive. This is because of their system of political equality. As citizens the Americans are equal, but they make social distinctions, even to the extent of snobbery. Mem- bers of one club speak with condescen- sida of the members of another. If you should dine for three weeks with one set, you would always meet the same people. “The fashionable world in America, as eleewhere, is artificial and conventional. Ainericans are the most hospitable peo- ple in the world. American hospitality is not content with external politeness; it seeks to make the guest feel at home. ‘The Americans give one the impres- sion of being a very young people, who, tlheugh sure of their own superiority, are a good deal concerned about the opinion of Europe. “The longer one lives in the United Siates the more evident it is that there is no such a thing as the American type, especially in regard to the women. The American woman is a European prod- uct—that is, in their novels and plays. “In Puritan, intellectual Boston more than anywhere else, the women have that cohesion of family which charac- terizes the French.

Among the many reasons they gave for this, I think the strong- est one is that the life of a young wom- an is very agreeable.

Another reason 1a that the equality of the sexes is more marked in America than it is elsewhere. “In Washington, I was astonished to otserve that young women can live de- tached from their parents and I was patticularlx surprised to see so many Automobiles for girls. “The difference between French flirts and Ameriean flirts is the difference be- * tween a hothouse plant and a tree in the " pen air.

LONDON, April 18.—According to ru- mors reaching here from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg, there is strong foundation for the report of the marital unhappi- ness of the Grand Duke Cyril of Rus- sia and his wife. Fashionables in the King’s set are whispering that a di- vorce is being arranged. Grand Duchess ¢yril is King Edward's and her husband is a cousin of Czar and the oldest son of Grand Duke Viadimir. The Duchess was for- meriy Princess Victoria Melita, eldest daughter of the Duke of Edinburg, who became Duke of Saxe-Coburg. She first married the present Grand Duke of Hesse, her first cousin and brother of the Czarina, but was divorced by him because of her attentions to her present husband .

She had attacked a woman on a Street car, beating her, scratching her face and pulling her hair. When she had driven her victim into the street, she accused the Rottgardt woman of winning the friendship of Colville. This, Mrs. Rott- gardt indignantly denied, nd the arrest of Mrs. Colville followed. Colville appeared at the hearing, and deciared his wife was unduly jealous.

POZE IS LOI SLA: NATIONS TRADING STUDENTS DURING VACATION PERIOD wr French Pupils Residing Three Months Each Year in Foreign Hoimes. ——- ee -- oe ee Special Correspondence From the Paris Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, April 7.—International § ex- change of pupils and students during the summer vacations, a plan that had its origin in France six years ago, has just been given wovernment recognition through the approval of the project by the Ministers of Public Instruction, Commerce, Foreign Affairs, Labor and Marine, at a public meeting presided over by Deputy M. Pierre Baudin. An official organization to promote the project has established headquarters at 35 Boulevard Magenta, Paris. The plen is to arrange for sending Irench pupils to England, Germany and other countries to spend the school, col- lege and university vacations with fami- lies who, in exchange, send their chil- dren for the same period to reside with the parents of the French pupils in France. It is expected that the prac- tice will become general as soon as its advantages are understood. Thus far the promoting society, known as La Societe d’Exchange Internation- ale, has helped in the annual: exchange of 125 pupils between France and Eng- land and England and France and Ger- irany. Nearly every one of these pupils, it is said, have returned with a fair knowledge of English or German and the foreign students have gone home with their knowledge of French greatly improved. Promoters of the movement argue that what has been accomplished with hun- dreds of pupils might be accomplished with thousands at very small expense. They believe, too, that a great deal of misunderstanding regarding customs and the national life of the nations of the world will ultimately be corrected through the extension of their plan, It is contended that information thus ob- tained at first hand would be of much greater value to the students than any knowledge along the same lines they might acquire by textbook Study eA en te THIEVES USE DOG AS GUARD; ANIMAL ASSISTS IN CAPTURE Woman Robbed Recognizes Canine on Street Following Day.

Private—To Receive Visitors. Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1908, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) ROME, April 18.—This city is crowded with foreign visitors who have come here principally to witness the cere- monies‘of Holy Week and Easter Sun- day. There is an especially big contin- gent of French Catholics. They will be received by the Pope next week, as will most of the other foreign visitors, among whom are many Americans and British, At the distribution of the palms last ‘unday more than 10,000 crowded around he choir chapel, where the ceremony vas held. There was:a full attendance t the Sistine Chapel Choir, which gave | superb rendition of the “Stabat Mater’’ f Palestrina and other select music at le pontifical mass. Palms were dis- ributed to all those present by the anons of the church and other officials. A big crowd attended last night the of washing the Papal altar, which is very impressive, after which those present were shown the impor- tant relics kept in the Basilica. The Pope received many magnificent palms, it being the custom of several Roman churches to send him a palm each year. This year the Benedictine and Camaldolese nuns sent the best two. They were ornamented with fine minia- tures by experienced and recognized ar- tists. Easter Sunday the Pope will celebrate his mass privately—-that is, he will not officiate in St. Peter's, but a large num- ber of foreign visitors will be admitted to witness the ceremony. The office of the Papal Major Domo has exhausted the admission tickets. The ceremonies in St. Peter’s tomor- row will be conducted by Cardinal Ram- polla, assisted by all the clergy connect- ed with the church. The Pope recently has been busy with receptions and audiences. Prince von Buelow, the German Chancellor, called on him Wednesday, and afterward paid a visit to the Papal Secretary of State. The Prince was received at the Vatican with marked honors. Pius X met him at the entrance of his private apartments and escorted his visitor to the library, where an audience was held which last- ed more than half an hour. The interview seemed to have pleased the Pope, as His Holiness was radiant when he escorted the German Chancel- lor to the door of his apartments. DUCHESS. RUND SKATING RINK. UST FOR TUN Meanwhile Her Husband, the Duke of Bedford, Is in Politics. Special LONDON, April 8.—The Duchess of Bedford has an extraordinary hobby. She is proprietress of Prince’s Skating Rink at Knightsbridge. Some years ago she bought out the other owners and has since run the place (at a loss, it 1s said) for her own amusement. She is an ardent skater, and hardly a day passes in the winter season that she is not to be seen on the artificial ice at Prince's. It is a favorite place for flirtations, and the instructors tnere have some of the fairest of England's society women among their admirers. Despite milder weather a large section of society in town spent this evening on or near the ice at one of the pret- tiest entertainments of the season at Prinee’s Club, and many well-known people assembled round the ‘‘banks’’ to Watch an exhibition of figure skating given by the Duchess of Bedford (who is a silver medalist of the National Skating Association) waltzing with Mr. Grenander, the world’s champion of 1898. The waitzing of a number of pretty young girls—who included Miss Irene Lawler (Lady Wenlock’s daughter), Miss Wilkinson, a pretty American girl, who has already made a_i reputation at Prince's, and Miss R. Brown—was heart- ily applauded. While the Duchess is conducting a skating ring, the Duke has an idea that he ought to be made Secretary of State for War. He talks on military subjects in the House of Lords, having been a captain in an infantry regiment, as poor as a mouse, when he was unex- pectecly brought into line for perhaps the richest duchy in England. The Duchess was the daughter of a clergy- man in India. CATS DECLARED LEGALLY DEAD Their Nine Lives Do Not Prevent Loss of Estate.

As an example, she tells of an Ameri- can girl in London who was starving and desperate but deserving, and whose case she brought to the notice of two wealthy American women residents here. They did not send even postcards in re- ply, but ignored the matter. “There they are,”’ says Mrs, Humphry, ‘wallowing in thelr wealth and letting’ a poor little compatriot suffer all the miseries of bitter poverty, including the bitterest despair.

B pag by the Pre New York W orid.) — LONDON: ‘April 18.—Joseph Cham- berlain has at last abandoned the hope, which his physicians and friends knew all along could never be real- ized, of reappearing in public life, and will soon resign his seat in Parlia- ment. His favorite son, Austen, formerly Chancellor of the Exchequer, is now with him at Cannes, South France, where they are consulting as to the best moment for presenting the resig- nation. The pretense so determinedly main- tained for nearly two vears that the erstwhile great political leader would resume his active career has served its purpose. fhat purpose was to save the tariff reform movement from collapse. The expectation among the tariff reform party that Chamberlain would return to lead it saved the cause from extinction in the overwhelming dis- aster of the last general election. Now tariff reform is the foremost plank of the Conservative platform. Arthur Balfour leads the Conserva- tive party by grace of Austen Cham- berlain. Even the two talented sons of the late Lord Salisbury, one of whom is admittedly the ablest man in the Conservative party, are inex- orably excluded from the ranks of the party their father led for 20 years, because they oppose tariff reform. That Joseph Chamberlain, after the calamjtous issue of his South African policy, should have been able to cause a diversion so effectual by espousing the hitherto utterly discredited cry of tariff reform, which none more than he formerly derided. constitutes the most signal personal triumph of his erratic career, Coperign, UKE SNUBBED BY AMERICAN GIRL HE WED} “a - Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Werld. PARIS, April 18.—-The Duchess of Marlborough is spending a week in Paris at the Hetel France Cholsene, while the Duke is here on his way to Beaulieu to visit Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wilson over Easter. The Duke and the Duchess dined in different parties at the Ritz Thursday night. Their simultaneous presence ex- cited the utmost curiosity as to wheth- er any glance of recognition would pass, but they appeared to be the only two people in the room unaware of each other’s presence. The Duchess left first to go to the theater, and while two members of her party saluted the Duke as they passed out, she swept by with delightful un- consciousness of his presence. The Duchess’ friends here say the Duke 's now desperately anxious for a reconciliation, finding his present anomalous position irksome and dis- agreeable. His ambition is to become Viceroy of Ireland, Uke his grandfather, under the next Tory Government, but ft will be impossible unless he is reconciled with his wife. The Duchess, on the other hand, is so much interested in her. new life that she has not the remotest intention of responding to any overtures from the Churchill family. She sees little or nothing nowadays of the Churchills, which, possibly, is - a source of unmitigated regret tc either.

OVERALL AND RAYMOND PROBABLE PITCHERS TODAY terday’s victory by the Cardinals over the Cubs, was more pleased with the showing of Pitcher Fromme than over the defeat of the world’s champions. Fromme hes been relied upon by the Cardinal management to prove a mainstay this year and apparentiy he is going to make very good. Letting the best team in the country down with three hits Is good work for any twirler. Overall and Kling will probably be Chicago's battery today, while Raymond and Hostetter will do duty for the Cardinals. eons JUDGES DEFEAT SCRAPPER EATON M. A. C.. Boxer Outpointed Kirk- wood, But Officials Saw it the Other Way

- One lonely little. Missouri A. C. ama- teur boxer, Marshall Eaton, confident because of the fact that he had defeat- ed practically every 115 pound boy that he has met in St. Louts in the past two years and also two men at Cincinnati, wandered into a bout at the South Broadway A. C. last night and learned a lesson that he will not forget in a hurry. The South Broadway A. C. and Mis. souri A. C. boys have met on several occasions in dual amateur boxing tour- naments. These tournaments have al- ways taken place at the M. A. C. The M. A. C. has always won the tourna- ments. After each, the South Broadway A. C. boys complained of.their treat- ment at the Washington avenue Institu- tion and declared that they had receiv- ed all the worst of the decisions. Last night Marshall Eaton opposed George Kirkwood, of the South-Broad- way A. C., in the feature bout of an amateur boxing show at the South Broadway Club. Eaton is a clever, ex- perienced boxer. Kirkwood is strong and well built for a fighter, can withstand a hard punch but lacks ring knowledge. In the first round Eaton feinted Kirkwood out and cleany outpointed his man. In the second round he put in one terrific right after another to the stomach. His left was a trifle short on several occasions. Kirkwood was willing, but that was all. He would rush, Baton would duck and Kirkwood would land on Marshall's Dack. om Eaton Tries for sean In the third round Eaton tried hard fora knockout. He had been doing the majority of the work and tired. Kirk- wood caught him with one punch to the mouth, and Eaton clinched.

He could do nothing else, Requested for his opinion as to the decision after the bout, Sharpe asked: “Corfidentially or for publication?’ On being told for publication, Sharpe declared that, according to the rules, if the judges of a bout agree on 4 decision, their word is final. Further- more he said he had nothing to say. Disinterested spectators laughed aloud at the decison, but stopped when Adolph Eaton, a brother of Marshall's, pro- tested and was told to shut up or he would be put out. Adolph Eaton, who was to have fought, refused to go on. Twice be- fore doing the evening the judges dis- agreed on bouts where decisions could have been handed down, There was no hesitating on the Kirkwood-Eaton con- test. Members of the 8S. B. A.

Restigouche Defeats Jack Atkin F Five: Lengths in Freeport Handi. Cap Running.

NEW YORK, April 18.—It was a at the Aqueduct Track. eleventh hour. distressed, Was a poor third. Restigouche ran a remarkable race. He Proved conclusively that he had the Speed to win the Carter handicap, had he started for it. His failure to try for that big event was due to Mr. Keene’s inability to engage a suitable rider. Walter S. Vosburgh had assigned % pounds to him, a weight too light by eight pounds, to enable Joe Notter, the regular jockey, to accept the gnount. Similar trouble was experienced today regarding a jockey. Restigouche again had 9% pounds to carry. a weight too light for all the best riders. He is a heavy-headed gelding and the few boys who could make the weight were uot competent to handle him to the best ad- vantage. The result of the race was a distinct triumph for Restigouche and Rowe. The horse showed wonderfu! speed and en- durance. If he had not been trained to the hour he would have toddled home in the ruck, for Delaby rode him like a novice. From start to finish the jockey seemed imbued with only one idea—to make his horse go as fast as he was able at every stage of the seven fur- longs. Without the slightest regard for pace or the terrific speed, he forced Restigouche to travel, Delaby at all times was urging the colt to his best effort. Restigouche'’s Great Effort. Some idea of the terrific clip Resti-. gouche started with and maintained un- til half way down the stretch may be gleaned from the time of the first quar- ter of a mite. He “broke’’ in the rear of his field, caught and passed the lead- ers in the first furlong and showed in front by five lengths before the turn on the back stretch was reached. That quarter of a mile was run in 222-5 sec- onds, a rfate of 1:293-5 to the mile. The backers of Restigouche groaned when they realized the speed and the total disragerd of it by Delaby. But when the boy opened three more lengths ca his pursuers, they gave up all hope et cashing their bets. “No horse can stand that pace and win,"’ they Gried. “‘Restigouche will stop to a walk in the siretch.”’ But they proved to be false prophets. Restigouche was unable to keep moving as he had early in the race, hut he was not willing to quit. Jack Atkin overhauled him when half way down the stretch and seemed to have

LEXINGTON WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY No Stake Events Are on Card Of- fered for Coming Meet.

LEXINGTON, Ky., April 18.—The spring meeting which is to open April 22, will afford nothing in the way of stake events, largely because of the un- settled conditions prevailing in the turf world here and away throughout the winter, yet the prospects are for an uncommonly good meeting. It is true that horses of good quality in the older divisions here now are comparatively few, but it is to be expected that the arrivals from the South during the com- ing week will be largely of horses 3 years old and over, and from these ad- ditions Secretary Leicher hopes to draw some good handicap fields. Nimbus, Kentucky Beau, R. €. Rann, Cotton- town, Honest, King’g Daughter, Lady Anne, Sempro, Watér Light, Barns- dale, Skyo, Orison, Lady Vie, May Jene, Dick Finnell, Dr. Keith, Adis, Enlist, Marmorean and Mamie Gallagher are the most representative of the tried horses here. More than one-half of the 400 horses are 2-year-olds that have yet to make their first starts. The ma- jority of these are cults from the breed- ing firms, but a goodly number have shown trials that indicate that they will do to go out in competition with some that were counted stars in the yearling sales of 1907, if reports of the perform- ances of the latter at other tracks can be depended upen. A rew of the young- er division well worth tabbing are French Cook, Tippington, Charley Hill, White Face, Jeff Bernstein, Cavarone, ae Charlotte Hamilton, Philip —_ Maj.

er a ae i Se i AP iO I oh li RR a all POOR SUPPORT COSTS 2-HIT G ‘. = ry Clever Pitcher tor Browns Out, 3 to 0, by Chicago White Sox, "- By JAMES CRUSINBERRY CHICAGO, Ill, April 18.—Because the Chicago White Sox tactics of 1906 when they were known as the “hitless wonders,” able to crush the St. Louis Browns today, giving the latter their first | of thé season. The score was 3 to 0 and the Sox tallied their three o with but two safe hits. Young Pitcher Graham might have been with big Ed Walsh until darkness stopped the fray had he been fect support. He had the Chicago batters fussed all the way and t hits made off him show that he is made of major league stuff. cs But Bobby Wallace had a bad day and|the Browns could gather in the n so did Umpire Egan, and then Danny /j nings were three safe hits. . Hoffman turned a circus error and those nifty White Sox runners were darting back and forth on the bases in a manner, that set the crowd fn an uproar. The fun all took place in the sixth inning. Right there the White Sox showed their championship class. On the bases they are like a lot of jack rab- bits playing with poodle dogs. The intense part of the inning oo curred when Freddie Parent hit a ball to Graham, there being two Sox run- ners on the bags at the time, Jones at third and Dougherty at second. Graham scooped Parent’s smash and started to run Jones down between third and home. Jones began his darting as Spencer and Ferris played catch over his head. All the other infielders gath- ered around to see the sport. Dougherty, of course, slipped up to third base and Parent went to second. Then Jones, by a clever slide, got back safely to third. but Pat Dougherty was already on the bag. Spencer ran up and cracked Jones over the back with the ball, but it was too late and Pat dashed back to sec- ond. Then there was another game of catch started between second and third to get Pat and still hold Jones at third. Mr. Hoffman's Entry. That was where Danny Hoffman came. in for his circus stunt. He came tear- ing in from the outfield like an angry bull in a china closet and just as he reached second base, Wallace flung the ball to him. At the same time Fielder Jones dashed for the home plate. But Hoffman never saw anyone but Dough- erty. He seemed determined to knock Pat's head off, so viciously did he run at him. Just as he made a wild swing with the ball in his hand, Pat turned a Jimmy Britt duck and poor Danny went spraw!l- ing in the dirt on his face, still hanging onto. the ball. Pat had ducked back to second base only to find Freddie Parent perched there. That was the sign for Parent to move, and the fans were by this time in a wild state of bedlam. Danny, calmly eitting on the ground, saw the situation and shot the ball to Charley Jones, who had run fn with the hope of mixing in the general fight. But Danny could not get the ball to him properly in his sitting posture, and Freddie Parent got safely back to first. No one had been put out, although three had been tried for and one had scored. Before the inning was over Parent had also crossed the plate, but Dougherty was forced out at home after the bases were filled. For about a minute and a half tn that inning the fans were delighted. It was grand base running on the part of the Sox and bad mistakes by the Browns; and the occasion was one of those situa- tions that come up in a ball game just about. once In a@ season. Big Ed Walsh did the pitching for the White Sox and had his spit ball work- ing to perfection, and the Browns could not solve the puzzle. They stuck to the finish, beginning every inning with a lot of enthusiasm and vigor, but it was of no use. Ed was their master and all

UTO DRIVERS PREPARE FOR BRIARCLIFF RACE

+ st Rte ne Re NRE rage ry : Course More ro Hazardous in Turns Than That Used for Vanderbilt Contest—Gossip of Track and Air.

ARNEY OLDFIELD, B Briarcliff trophy on April 24. Emanuel Cedrino, have arrived with their cars at Westchester County, started their speed trials for the big race that will be run for the Judging by the several accidents that have oc- and other big racing drivers N. Y., and have eurred during the past week on the course motorists onsale that the race will produce almost as many thrills as the Vanderbilt Cup race | The Briarcliffe course is 54 miles to the lup. Ten laps will be run. In some ways it is better than the Vanderbilt course on Long Island and in some ways much worse. = There are five sharp turns and about 2 winding turns. There are half a dozen Basy grades and two bad hills. Auto éxperts say that the sharp turns on the se are so acute that the drivers éannot possibly attempt to take them as 64 the Vanderbilt racers did the turns on Long Island. In this way the course géeme better as far as safety is concern- 6d, ‘but it is not expected that the same can be made. e French driver, Bernin, on Gug- nheim’s Renault, is expected to do big lings in the race. At the Ormond races ‘made an average speed of 88 miles &n hour in the 256-mile race. In the 300- Mile race Cedrind averaged 77 miles an in the Fiat Cyclone. ; ouis J. Bergdoll, a young Philadel- phia millionaire, will drive a Benz car othe race. He has the reputation of | @ as clever and daring a driver as oxhall Keene, who several years ago ft& the Grand Prix drove on in the race _ #fter he had discovered a crack in the _ fear axle of his car. A speed of 3% miles an hour was reach- 6a in the motor boat trials at Monte Garlo last week by the British Challen- iger, the Welseley-Siddeley, which de- : 400 .horsepower with its 16-cylin- -metor. The boat is the first serious val of the Panhard-Tellier, which star- ed the world at last year’s trials at aco. The Tellier is still officially fastest motor boat in the world, but unofficial records of the trips of the h boat make her the fastest craft ever churned any waters. foreign aeronauts have follewed n’s lead and a long list of prizes | mew posted in the Aero clubs of I'rance' and- Germany and England. Ainong these are included, $5,000 offered yy the London Graphic for a flight of ene mile at the Brooklands Automobile racetrack in England;. $4,000 in prizes for aeroplane races next September at Vichy, France, $2,500 by the editor of The Car to the aeroplane making the longest flight in England in any year; $2.F00 by Ruinart Fils for the first 18+ mile flight across the English Channel, and $2,000 by M..Armengaud, Jr., for tne first machine that remains in the air 15 minutes. The directors of the Marathon run to be held in Boston, April 20, are making efforts to have the Carlisle Indians team in the race. Rumors of a runner there who is a worthy successor to Longboat, the famous Indian long dis- tance runner, have been persistent in eastern athletic circles for some time. Pennsylvania motorists are agitating a& system, of uniform signals to be adopted throughout the country. The signals suggested are as follows: One blast, “I am going straight ahead’’; two blasts, ‘‘I am turning to the right’’ three blasts, ‘‘I am turning to the left’’; four blasts, ‘‘Your lamp is out’’; five biasts, ‘‘De you require help’; twe and one blasts, ‘“‘Yes’’; two and two blasts, “‘No.”’ Such a system of signaling would doubtless be ef value if automobilists can be induced te adopt it unanimously. Thirty thousand spectators are enough to please even the greatest followers of? the great national game in a cham- pionship series. At the semi-final match for the English Football Cup last week at Stanford Bridge, England, there were 49,000 spectators. In the great annual football struggle between the All-Eng- land and All-Scotland teams, the attend- ee mark frequently reaches the 100,-

OLD SORES KEPT OPEN BY BAD BLOOD +f ‘Whenever a sore refuses to heal, it is because of bad blood. Fithe place existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that par- cular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly ) the ulcer that would kiil the germ; or the diseased flesh might be oved by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very ot that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, c even return after being cut away, shows that back of them isa bid cause which must be removed before a cure can result. _ The impurities in. the blood which keep old sores open, come different causes. A long spell of debilitating sickness, which eds disease germs in the system, is a common source. morbid impurities get into the @ifculation, and: the blood be- somes a polluted, infectious fluid, Which, instead of nourishing the Abres and tissues of the flesh, ritates and ulcerates them, and sontinually discharges its impur- tie into the open sore, and pre- fénts the place from healing. Another cause for bad blood is ne retention in the system of the ) and waste matters of the ody. Those members whose f ity it is to carry off the useless acc mulations, become dull and glug ish in their action and leave a lei work imperfectly done, and tf fermenting matter is ab- Orbed into the circulation.

ENTIRE FOOT’ A SOLID SORE. Some time ago I had a sore to come on my foot, and noth- ing I used would doit any good. It continued to grow worse and eat Cseper inte the surround- ing flesh, until the entire foot was a solid sore, and gave me a great deal of worry and trouble. I tried almost every- thing I heard of, but got no benefit until I commenced 8.85.8. In a short time after commencing this remedy I be- gan to improve, and I contin- ued to use it until it drove the poison from my blood, and completely cured this obsti- nate sore. I recommend it most highly as a remedy for sores and ulcers. DAVID C. MILLER. 242 W. 49th St., New York, N. Y.

FIZER PLANS 10 WIN. KENTUCKY CLASSIC AGAIN Trainer of 1907Derby Winner Thinks Milford Can Turn Trick This Year.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 18. H. FIZER has wired from New W Orleans that he will win the * Kentucky Derby to be decided on May 6 at -Churchill Downs. He trained Pink Coat, which won the event in 1907. Milford, by Falsetto—Florite, is the star which shines brightest for Fizer uow. Only recently all of his hopes were centered on E. T. Shipp, a bay gelding, by Ruskin II—Caloocan. He has yet another eligible in the classic event—Al Muller, a bay colt by Sorcerer —Discard. Possibly two of these will start. It is an assured fact that Mil- ford, by reason of Sis recent sparkling performances, will face the barrier. He likes the route and he possesses the speed requisite in a race embracing the Derby conditions, Milford has the characteristics of a Derby horse. The record shows that Falsettos in their 2-year-old form are sluggish and never display their real class. An example is found in The Picket, which won the American Derby at Chicago. That was on Saturday, June 20, 1908. The Picket went to the post at $8 to 1 and few gave him a chance to win. In the running of the race he won all the way and finished four lengths in advance of Claude. Ber- nays was third. The Picket carried 115 pounds and was ridden ey Helgeson. J. Daly rode Claude, which carried 127 pounds. Bernays’ impost was 122 potinds. The time was 2:33 for the mile and a half and the value of the race was $277,025. Carroll B. Reid trained a Picket. As a yearling Milford leoked to be a. racer all over, and on one occasion Ed Alvey expressed a willingness to give $7600 for him. In his 2-year-old form Milford started 17 times. Not once did

Men's Urinary Troubles — Kidney, Bladder. with their long train of de- bilitating and weakening effects, are scientifically treated and cured.

Blood Poison, Skin Diseases—I will give you treatment that will in a few days cure al) rash, sores, ulcers and every sign and symptom.

I cure blood poison and ekin diseases so they can not come back Varicose Enlargement, leading first to inflammation, irritability and pain and other detrimental] results, require and receive careful modern and scien- tific treatment and a safe and perma- nent cure, The method I employ is the treat- } ment you should have. and what you will likely have to have to be cured right. I do no cutting, and you suffer little or no pain or trouble. At) signs disappear in a few days. My Methods Will Cure You Give Up in Despair If you are among the vast number of diseased and weak men who have been dis- couraged and think of giving up in de- spair, consider first that your health is be- vond valuation. Can you afford to not pre- serve it, regardless of what it costs or the effort required? Then you must try again. It matters not how many times you have been and, persevere unsuccessfully treated: come; if possible, success will surely but if you despair, the future is lost. EXPERIENCE AND SKILL come from vears of practice in the treatment of spe- cial diseases of men, and are the essential factors to be considered by treatment: men seeking therefore, I believe I am in a position to do the best possible for my pa- tients, those who may wish to methods.

London Paper Wants Investigation as the Nocturnal Visitor Smells Like a Grave. LONDON, April 18.—The Daily Chronicle invites the Psychical Re- search Society to investigate the highly unpleasant manifestations of a unique ghost which haunts an old- time country cottage within twenty miles of London. Circumstantial and fully attested details of the dvings of the ghost are given. Severa! persons while sleeping in a certain bedroom of the house have felt a cold, flabby, ghostlike hand placed on their mouths. But the most extraordinary feature of the spook is that the ghostly presence is always accompanied by the _ indescribable, Suffocating smell of the charnal house, Sometimes the ghost can be heard descending the stairs at noonday. He eee a noise like that of a huge corpulent man whose ; ; on cach stair. © slippers flap on he host goes into a roo Seats himself at the lnahhonm tanta IN ST.LOUIS THIS WEEK Scientist Left Chicago Because He Was Pestered by Newspaper Reporters. Dr. Robert Koch, the distinguished scientist and medical authority, is ex- pected to arrive in St. Louis Thufs- day or Friday. Arnold Koch of 6429 Manchester avenue, his brother, has received a letter saying this is his present plan, but is subject to change. The doctor has not decided how long he will remain here. Former students of Dr. Koch, who have planned receptions and a ban- quet in his honor, have been much puzzled as to his whereabouts. He disappeared suddenly from Chicago, apparently because newspaper fre- porters botherd him, and was report- ed to have gone to Milwaukee, Search there failed to discover him, and his whereabouts was_ not definitely known until his brother here _ re- ceived the letter postmarked Key- stone, Io. Another brother, Adolph, has a farm near there.

story of an im- proportions who he cottage many LONDON, April 18.—The reconstruction of the Cabinet, which came about as a result of the retirement of Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman, and the assump- tion of the premiership by Herbert H. Asquith, has plunged the country into a miniature election. No less than seven by-elections made necessary to fill the vacancies by the Cabinet changes will be decided this week. By far the most interesting will be for a member from the northwest division of Manchester, where the fate of Winston Churchill, who is seeking re-election on his ele- vation to the presidency of the Board of Trade, will be a suref index of the country’s estimate of the past two years of radical rule than are the verdicts of the smeller constituencies which re- cently have gone against the Govern- ment. Unionist Fighting Hard. Me. Churchill will be opposed by Sir John Hicks, who contested’ this seat in the Unionist interests at the last elec- tion. . There is*a Socialist candidate in the field, but he does not cut much figure. Mr. Churchill addressed half a dozen meetings teday, four in the open air. Ilis mother, Mrs. Cornwallis-West, re- peuting her tactics of the last election, accompanies her son to the platform. Many Opposing Elements. The Hebrews, the Roman Catholics and the Irfsh Nationalists are demand- ing pledges regarding the alien exclu- sion bill, education and home rule. Ali three voted fcr Mr. Churchill at the last election ané the defection of any one of these groups might easily spell defeat. The woman suffragists are proving a thorn in the side of the young statesman. Althovgh Mr. Cnvrchill has declared himself in favor of woman suffrage, the women are overrunn'ng the constituen- ey in favor of the Unionist candidate.

For fourteen wearisome winters grip and _ the ‘‘tired feeling’’ were her constant companions. Duffy’s restored her to vigorous health. In gratitude Mrs. La Beaumme writes: ‘‘T have been a sufferer from Grip. for 14 Winters. When cold weather set in I would have those miserable aching pains, and a tired feeling which never left me till warm weather. Just before Xmas last I had a terrible time with Grip and a cough, also a se- vere pain in my left side. I had often been advised to try your Malt Whiskey, but as I had often tried various remedies I was skep- tical and coneluded there was no relief. However, as I was made a Christmas present of two bottles of Duffy’s I used it, and before I had finished using them I felt so much better that I used four more bottles, which stopped the aching pains, the cough, the pain in my

NEW YORK, April 18.—The Evening Post in its financial review says: “All American stock exchanges were closed for the Kaster recess today. lor- eign markets were also closed, except at Pars, where trading was dull and withuu. reature, prices holding fairly firm. “The bank return reflected the full effects of tie $12,000,000 cash gain indi- cated yesterday, and in addition to the increase shown by -the associated in- Stitutions the nonreporting State banks and trust companies added $899,700 to their cash holdings, reducing loans $6,- 161,000. The associated banks reported an actual decrease of $2,000,000 in loan account, although the average figures indicated $8,000,000 expansion, The sur- plus is now $50,000,000. “The really important development of the week was the resumption of gold exports to Paris last Thursday. This operation was altogether natural under the circumstances, as sterling has ruled for several days, both here and at Paris, at a more favorable level for gold remittances than that at which the out- flow of last May started. There is evy- ery reason why the gold should go, with the exchanges against us, and money quotations lower here than at most European centers. “The most potential fact, however, is the German hid for the metal which has been used effevtively this week, by way of Paris, where most of the gold intend- ed for Berlin account will probably be sent. Higher discounts at Berlin, with the known tension of that market. and the strain it has been put in in finan- cing the huge Government loan, sug- gests that the German bankers may continue their offer to allow interest in transit on New York gold shipments for some time to come. Sterling at Paris ruled a trifie higher-today, but not enough to disturb the negotiations for further gold shipments next week, when several engagements will probably be put through.” The business vreek, which closed on Thursday was characterized by slow and insignificant trading.- Money con- tinued to accumulate in New York, with a diminishing demand from bor- rewers and with expected demand from The money market became so plethoric that slvipments of gold to Paris began on the triangular operation through Lon- dou. Concessions offered by the Im- pcrial Bank of Germany pointed to some outgo to Berlin as well. Neither the gold outgo nor the prom- ise of an early recall of Government de- posits from the banks had any effect fn stiffening money rates. Trade reports fointed to some renewed contraction, copper prices declined again and iron and steel prices were unstable. A fresh increase in the number of idle freight cars pointed to disappointing conditions of railroad traffic: The gold shipments of the last week are the first consignments of that kind to Europe since 1997. They were brought about solely through an advance in for- eign exchange rates. In the movement of 1907 only $25,000,000 wan shipped altogether. That was a reatively small amount, and had little, uf any, effect on then existing condi- tions. Turing the October panic by the op- erations of New York bankers, $100,000,000 fin gold was imported to this country from Europe, and that money is here New York always ships gold to Furope at this season of the year, and if it is needed in Europe now, we can well afford t ve away some from our surplus supply. This will in no way weaken our financial position, but wil! ‘p to materially. strengthen the inter- netional money situation. At the present time the coffers of the New York banks are overloaded with money which they find almost impossible to use to advantage. This is shown by the fact that rates are down to bed- tock. The latest quotations for call Joans are 1% per cent, for time loans 1% for 60 days, 3 for 90 days and 34@4 for five and six months, and 4%@5 for a year. The exportation of gold, therefore, at least to the same amount as last oar, will probably not influence to any the course of prices either in Wali street or other important busfhess centers. The outstanding feature of the stock merket during the past few weeks was the action of BD. H. Harriman in coming te the rescue of Erie, when that road was in imminent danger of going into the hands of a receiver. “event occurred it is conjectural what Had such an have happened in the stock mar- . Certain it is that the affair would » been made the basis for a vigorous z Spenpaten. and in the present un- tc condition of general busi- , the result might have been disas- 8 to many interests. tis s lly expected the stock mar- t wi fil commence an upward movement e end of the Easter holidays, There thir more tangible to this expec- n than the optimistic feeling of As a matter of fact, genera! |* conditions favor operations on zg There is no visible im- | railroad carnings, the freight cars hhs been Jarge manufacturing g operated considerably f soperity.. the steel plants—are running toabout only oOne-nalf their capacity. it has been estimated that the number of idle freight cars in this cuvuntry and in Canada April 1 was 306,507, as against 297,042 March 1s, ‘these facts have tar greater sig- nificance than the hopeful theories of brokers, or the tancitul prophecies of railroad presidents. The only silver lining to the indus- trial cloud seems tv be the prospect of a bountiful harvest. But this is some months away yet, and many things may happen betw een now and then. Present indications point to a large reduction in iron production. The iron and steel industries invariably refiect business eonditions, and just now they are not in a position which can be construed as prophetic of prosperity in the immediate, or not distant, fu- ture. The Wall Street Journal, speaking of the condition of the Northern Pa- cific, has this to Say: “For the secund month to date the Northern Pacific has reported a fall- ing off in gross -npghaaag Oe Its figures, $4,722,906, are less by $683,043, or 12.5 per cent, than they were a year ago. in December this road suffered a loss of about $100,000, but in all other months it has earned a substantial amount, more than in the correspond- ing months of 1907. As was the case with the Great Northern, occupying the same general field, the Northern Pactic’s latest statement suffers less by any actual decrease in the amount of business of- fered than it does by unfair compar- ison with an unusually good month last year. In February of this year the road carned $4,011,287, so that its traffic in March was $761,619 greater. A year ago, with the free movement of trains after’ the partial blockade, March earnings were $1,878,943 larger than in February. “With three-quarters of gone the Northern Pacific earnings of $53,736,412 to .compare With $49,593,202 a year ago—an in- crease of 8.3 per cent in an off year. To what extent expenses and taxes have increased has not been made public. Earnings from carrying mail and express have been smaller in this period by $522,460. “The Northern Pacific’s earnings by months this fiscal year have run as follows: its year has gross 1907. $5, 688.926 _ 5,911,918 6, 207, 269 9 7,196,086 -- 7,044,790 Inc. 6.363, 889 5,743,542 Inc. 5,655,500 5.758, 72 % Dec. 4.328.338 4,125,165 Inc. . 011.287 3,577,006 Inc. 434,231 4.772.906 5,455,949 Deo. 683.043 the statement of the Inter- state Commerce Commission for the first eight months it would appear that the Northern Pacific is spend- ing, on an average, about 56.5 per cent of its gross income for expenses, and about 60 per cent for both expenses and taxes. On this basis the com- pany has net earnings to date of near- ly $21,500,000.” It is humored in well-informed quarters that the contract between the American Smelting and Refining Co. and the United Metals Selling Co. expiring June 1, will not be renewed. It is said that the Smelting Co. will establish an agency of its own. The failure to renew the contract will involve about 40,000,000 pounds of copper a year. This is by no means a bear argument in Smelters stocks. On the contrary it should prove an ex- cellent thing for the company in more ways than one, the most important of which is the saving of the commission paid to the Metals Co. for sales. St. Louis has the proud distinction of being the only large city in the country that shows an increase in bank clearings for.1908 over the cor- responding period in 1907. This is an evidence that St. Louis is more than holding its own in the race of commerce, and that when gen- eral conditions have improved it will be one of the leading factors in the industrial situation in the country. Application for the appointment of a receiver for the Odell Brokerage Co. of Cincinnati. one of the largest con- cerns of its kind in the country. was made Saturday. Rumors of financial difficulties have been current for sev- eral days, but the company was de- clared to be in good shape except for one or two large deals still unsettled at the time of the last reorganization of the concern. The short week of trading on the London Stock Exchange has revealed little of interest. The approach of the holidays checkcd fresh commitments and values crumbled slowly until Thursday, when cheerfulness pre- vailed, the wold shipments from Amer- ica hardened consols and the market takine a more hopeful view of the Ia- bor dispute in the North of England, marked up hame rails, the earlier losses in these securities being large- ly recovered, American securities were dull and uninteresting. The uncertainty of the New York market caused narrow and irregular movements, and the trading War purely professional. Shares generally closed from a noint higher to a, point lower than last Saturday, The money market has become more interesting, owing to the beginning of rold shipments from New York to Europe.

HOGS, TOO, WERE CHEAPER Scarcity of Sheep Stayed Decline There, but Horses and Mules Dropped. Receipts the past week totaled 12,000 head, compared with 11,990 the previous period, 15,500 two weeks ago, 10,400 a month ago and 12,000 the corresponding period of last year. The market winds up the parted in very dut!l condition. The inquiry has been narrower than any time since Lent started.. Throughout the entire week, especially for some ciasses of stock which have deciined sharpiy. The beef steer market has been on the decline since the start and although each day the market started out fairly, it wound up in feeble condition at the low point. Succeeding weakness cumu- lated in a decline of 25@35ic, compared with the close of the previous week and compared with the high time 10 days ago, values are 40@50e lower. The top of the market last week was $6.90 and it took prime 1460-pound steers to reach that price. While early days this week most of the good to choice steers sold at $6.25@6.75, same kinds sold at the close of the week at $6.10@6.60. The lerge share of the fair and medium dressed beef steers brought $6.25°95.75. The butcher heifer market has been irregular. Trade displayed strength as well as weakness during the period, which, however, has affected the mar- ket very little with the close of the previous week. A — head topped the week’s trade at otherwise the ectual top has been $5.85 for several full loads. Bulk of the good to choice lots sold at $4.75@5.60 and most of the com- mon and medium killing kinds at $4@4 50. Cow Market Very Dull. The cow market, however. had dull tone. A larger supply of grass Texas steers decreased the call for cows and prices consequently slumped 25@40e with the previous week. Prime cows topped the market at $5.60 and the bulk of tho x00d to choice kinds commanded $4.2 Most of the cutters and fairly good beef cows sold between $3.15@4, and while the best canners sold around $3, trashy lots sold as low as $2. The bull market closed 15@25c lower than the past week. Very few seli above $5.25 and the bulk of the medium to good kinds bring $4@6. The calf market shows a stronger basis by 25c than prices a week or ten days ago. A single calf topped the market at $7 and bulk of the sped to choice kinds sold at $6.50@6 A strong demand for Sachors and feeders has been poorly supplied. Re- ceipts have been insufficient. to give buyers a chance to fill their orders. The market as far as the small sup- ply was concerned was fully steady and the yards were well cleaned up at the close of the period. A fairly large supply of quaran- tine cattle met with generally act- ive cal! during the period and out- side of some irregularity of sales dur- ing early days, the market hag been virtuallv 25¢ lower at close of the pe- riod. All of the supply has been grass steers and mainly a fair to good fat kind selling at $4.46@5.50. Quite a portion of the receipts were plain steers around $3.75 and several trains of common canning kinds sold at $2.75. Few canner cows, grass bulls and oxen were included in the re- ceipts and sold steady to 10c lower with the previous week Hogs, Too, Are Lower. Although the receipts of hogs were only moderate each day last week, the market was on the decline and closed about 25@40c lower than the close of the previous week and general condl- tions were not at all satisfactory. Buyers were all bearish and brought no more hogs than they were com- pelled to have to fill their most urgent needs. The shippers were good buyers for what hogs thev wanted, but they did not want a great many and the butchers and packers were inclined ~ force the market down as much possible. The week opened with the eee hogs selling at $6.15 and the bulk of the fair to tg hogs selling at $5.95@6.05, but by the middle of the week the top of the market was down te $5.90 and the bulk of the hogs sold at $5.70@6.80. Since the middle of the week the marke: has not shown any material change, but closed some better ‘he top being $6 and the bulk selling at $5.8 to $5.90, Pigs and lights, providing they were good, sold well. lights weighing 165 peunds selling up to within lic of the ton of the market and the good pigs selling at $'.75@5, while poor lights, 109 to 130 pounds, sold at $3.75 @4,50, and common pigs from $3@ 8.75. All hogs from Arkansas and Southwest Missouri sold paorly al] week. Sheep Irregular te Lower. The sheep market last week was a little irregular, but closed on about the same basis it opened on most kinds, but those that were not more than half fat did not regain the decline. Strictly good sheep of all kinds were ready sale all week, as buyers needed them to fill urgent Qrders for mutton. A fair num- ber of spring lambs arrived and there was also a good many clipped native sheep on sale. Spring lambs sold from 50 and were ready sale if good quality and weighed around 40 pounds, but there was no call for the little ag. ones. Clipped lambs sold from $7@7.25 lambs. that still had their woo! $7.50@ 7.7! Western lambs sold (. 7 65 and yearlings at $6.50@6.7 Clipped native and rant sheep sold principally at 5, with some that were not as os a A t ey ought to have been going at @ market seemed unsettied, buyers wanting the sheep, but at the same time they want- ed to get them at lower eriees If ossi- tle, but the small supply woud not permit them to break the market to any great extent. Horses Quiet; Mules Slow. The horse trade the past week was rather quiet, as the supply ‘was small and the quality not the best. A good demand prevailed from outside buyers for good drivers and also good work animals, with plenty of size and well- broken, but the plainer ones tittle slow. However, tn was but little chanes’ to Mules s all week FACTOR IN WHEAT = Uncertain Cheat Conditions Cause Marked Nervousness With- in Narrow Range. STEADY FOR THE WEEK Foreign Markets Strong, Receipts in Northwest Very Light— Corn Easier. There were practically no changes in the essential features of wheat last week and with the very small and in- different trade acting against higher prices, the tone was generally dull and heavy. The weather governed prices almost to the exclusion of other factors and the uncertain conditions caused marked nervousness within a small range at times. Good recoveries from early declines were made iate in the week, and th close showed a fractional gain for May option, though somewhat lower for July. Good Rains General, the week there were heavy and general rains and re- ports of good conditions and Sb ggemen throughout most of the winter elt, except in western portions of Kan- sas and parts of Nebraska, which were just where they were needed most. Re- ports from these latter sections were as emphatic as ever in their claims of damage from drouth, but there were heavy downpours throughout all of the dry area on the last two days of the week, which put the plant in good con- diton Kansas Prospects Good. The prospects for a large wheat crop in Kansas this year are much better at the present time than is usual at this date, according to F. D. ‘Coburn, Sec- retary of the Board of Agriculture, His re gg Pe ag td apge = A a con- on 0 .4 per cent, w acreage of 6,987,328 acres. About 2.4 per cent of this acreage has been plowed up this spring. In the belt across Céntral Kansas, where the land is devoted almost entire- ly to wheat, the condition is shown to be much above the average for other rts of the State, evidences of the essian fiy are reported in less than a dozen counties, while the greenbug does not appear at all in the reports. A year ago the condition of the wheat was reported at 8 per cent at this time and the crop last year amounted to 74,- 000,000 bushels; two years the condition this time of year was 8.5 per cent. This was the year of the 7 wheat crop, when the total yield was in excess. of 93,000,000 bushels. There have been some reports of a lack of moisture in some sections of the State, but Mr. Co- burn says that these reports need worry no one, as the hard wheat plants ob- tained a good growth during the winter and are now in excellent condition for withstanding a dry season of several weeks. Reports from Canada state that al- most all of the anes operations have become completed, that as the best of weather attended. noe the ground was in good condition, a good-sized crop seems assu seeding was done about a month earlier than usual this year and the acreage planted is consid- erably above the average. Receipts in Canada are large and that country is exporting very little wheat. Receipts Very Light.

NEW YORK, April 18.—The 2500 em- pleyes of the Countess Moltke-Heuitfeld and her sisters, Marquise Breteu!l and Lady Gordon Cummings, in the ‘Garner Print Works, Haverstraw, are praying for warm weather and the return of prosperity to relieve them from their poverty and suffering. The long, cold spring has sickened to the point of des- peration many an already deeply bur- dened being in the tiny wooden shacks of the Hudson. Though the situation has been, per- haps, no worse at Garnerville than in many other mill towns of the East, there has been an added feeling of bit- terness at Garnerville on account of the stories that have reached there of the princely luxury maintained abroad by the three daughters of the late William L. Garner, the founder of the mills, all of whom married titled foreigners, They own between them the vast Gar- ner estate, comprising cotton weaving and print plants at Garnerville, Cohoes, Wappingers Falls, Newburg, Rochester and Reading, Pa., as well as a vast tract of land in Rockland County, on which latter is the reservoir and wa- terworks of Haverstraw. Many Stories of Suffering. Poormaster Foster said today that never in his life had he heard so many stories of suffering and privation as during the past winter, and while the tension was being somewhat relieved by the approach of mild weather, there was still a good deal of want. He knew of many instances, he said, where entire families had been living miserably on two, three, four or five dollars a week. Asked if any ald had been extended to the mill workers by Lady Gordon Cum- ming, Marquise Breuteuil or Countess Moltke-Heiutfeld, he shook his head neg- atively. ‘IT have never heard of any help from these quarters,”’ he said. ‘‘I have inve tigated many of the reports of famili without clothing, shoes, food, or bed cov- ering, and found them true. ‘I do not know if the condition of the workers ts krrown to the mill management.”’ Owners Live on Fine Estate. The wife of one of the men employed in the packing department of the mill, which has keen running two days a week, showed her visitor an English magazine containing pictures of the Gor- con Cummuingses and their fine estate at Altyre. near Ferres, Scotland. “We strive to keep that place up in style,”’ she said grimly. Garnerville, which iss owned in its en- tirety by the Garner estate, has been laid out on the castle plan. The bosses live in the finest dwellings on the hill- tops. The sub-bosses are provided for on the top terraces in houses not as good as those of the bosses. The deputy sub busses are quartered in still less pre- tentious quarters on the back streets. The rank and file of the workers are housed in long rows of frame structures in the least desirable locations. Each caste must stick to its own quarters. The social! lines are tightly drawn. The bosses at Garnersville ride in carriages and automobiles. The workers go about in broken shoes, with, their children barefooted. Founder Was Drowned, The founder of the estate, William L. Garner, together with his wife, Marce!l- lite M. Thorne Garner; his brother, Frost Garner, and Miss Adele Hunter, were drowned by the overturning of Garner’s yacht, Mohawk, off Staten Is- iand, in 1876. fhe three daughters settled abroad and have since lived off the ineome from the mills'and other investments of the estate, which, as far back as 1899, was officially appraised at $14,000,000. In 1903 Cver $3,000,000 of the profits was di- vided among the three titléd Garner heiresses. The Marquise and the Count- ess tnaintain town establishments in the aristocratic portion of Paris. _ ~- Aged Juror Drops Dead.

et uit; it ray Dat, 54 ah MPRA “ey! Pa HL vH BY ANNA LEE.. T WAS a typical, Middle West - Yailroad courtship that culmi- fated in the marriage of Grace Martin, an attractive miss of Alton, end Virgil Walk, a sturdy Chicago & A.ton engineer, a few weeks since, news of which reached friends of the - young only a few days ago, Their Pp was carried, in the _ main, by the flutter of a handkerchief from his cab window and an answer- ing wave from the front veranda or parlor window of her home as the big eagine thundered past, into or out of Alton. Por three years they signaled their love thus, a sort of Cupid's wireless te Then they stole away to Carlinville, Ill., without letting their friends know, and were married. Very pretty! And very typical of what is going on all the time in the little cities, towns and hamlets all over this part of the United States. Cities All Over To the girl in the secluded coun- try town or the little prairie city, the railroad man, who travels and sees many people and places, is a won- cerful, cosmopolitan person, a being from the great world which lies be- yond the confines of her own little home town. He esses physical strength, technical skill, and must have courage, so, small wonder that he is a hero to the village maiden, and different clay altogether from the store clerks and young farmers of her local acquaintance. Yet, after all, being the sweetheart of a railroad man has its drawbacks. He is not situated so that he can call frequently. Only once in a while, when he has a day off, can he drop off the train, with his Suiday suit on, and pay a call like other young men. Ir the remainder of the days the chamored young lady must be con- tent with only a passing glimpse of Ser hero as his train dashes past or Courtship Mg §=6Of Grace " Martin of Alton by Virgil Walk. Typical of What Is Taking! Place in Towns and the West Today pauses for a brief, busy moment at the little station. Naturally, hand- rerchief waving and -wafted kisses rave their part in the railroad court- ship. Virgil: Walk, who married Miss M:rtin, is a fine young Westerner, I uuferstand, virile, strong, cleancut end a good engineer. His bride is a cnsarming youp_ woman, a great fa- vorite among all her acquaintances in Alton. Miss Martin, who is a very prac- tical, sensible young person, did not feel that she must have some dandi- fied clerk, with patent leather shoes, a fancy vest and a red cravat for her sweetheart. She knew that Mr. Walk was her ideal the first time she ever saw him, though he had on his en- pineer’s overalls, jumper and cap, and nis face and hands were grimed by engine smoke and lubricating oils. In fact, that costume was rather pictur- eeque and Miss Martin liked him Queene / thus attired better than she would have liked any bookkeeper in Alton, epotlessly groomed. And I wish, right here and now, to commend her most heartily for her ideas of men. She wanted realities rather than appearances, and if other young girls would do likewise there would be more happy marriages than there are. Sometimes Mr. Wal’s train stopped nt Alton, but more often not. Never- theless, there were two hearts that Leat faster when the engine whistled for Alton and the roar of the coming train was heard on the Alton hills. Next to seeing the hearty, broad- ehnouldered engineer and chatting with him a moment while he stood in the engine gangway, the most delightful thing in the world for Miss Martin was to see his signal fluttering from the cab window and to answer it in kind, all of which meant: “I’m think- ing of you, sweetheart,” or something of the sort. And Engineer Walk— well, he wouldn’t have missed that signal for a day’s wages. A Secret Two Weeks. But one day he paid a formal call, and while the couple was in the par- lor they planned to marry right away. Tney arranged to meet in -Carlin- ville the next time he had a day off and have the ‘knot tied” there. They met, according to plans, March 14, and Rev. Mr. Rhoads of the Carlin- ville Baptist Church performed the ce emony, which was kept a trofound secret with the excep- tion that the bride confided it to her dearest girl chum. The girl chum managed to keep the great secret for two whole weeks, but that was all. At last she just had to tell, and then the story leaked out with astonishing speed. When their secret became known, Mr. and Mrs. Walk announced that they would begin housekeeping at once on Court street, Alton, and now it will be the wife and not the sweet- heart who waves from the front porch end the husband who signals an an- swer, while his engine roars on its Way. ' wonder how many girls there are today in this Middle Western country who are head over heels in love with some stalwart young railroader, who wears overalls and jumper or who wears the blue uniform and brass buttons of a flagman or conductor. I venture to say there isn’t a little town within five hundred miles of St. Louis —_—

A still more singular story is told of the discovery of Miss Kathleen Parlow, a young Canadian girl, who is said to rival Kubelik himself in the brilliancy and artistic feeling of her violin-playing. A short time ago Dr. Grosz, a Berlin concert agent, was tcld by an English friend that while passing a house in a London street, the name of which he could not re- call, he had heard a violinist playing with extraordinary skill. The player was, he said, a genius of a very rare order. Dr. Grosz of- fered a detective $250 to discover the home of this gifted musician, and within three days he succeeded. Miss Parlow played to Dr. Grosz, who was so struck by her remarkable gift that he offered to bring her out as a solo violinist, and today the girl, thus rescued from obscurity and poverty, is under an engagement to play at 120 concerts in America at.$1000 a night.

where there is not at least one sucno affair as that which existed at Alton for three years while Virgil Walk waved signals from his cab and Miss Murtin, now Mrs. Walk, fluttered her handkerchief in response. It is not difficult to explain this fascination railroad men have for giils in small towns. To the villager the railroad engineer or conductor is & mighty man, a public character, a Lit of the throbbing universe which lies somewhere far away from the quiet little town. And girls like to receive attentions from a distin- guished man, and who is more dis- tinguished in the eyes of the rural belle than the dashing conductor of the through passenger train? It is the same thing, fundamentally, that makes tue girls along the river fall in love with members of the crews of yachts of wealthy men, which now and then ply up or down stream. It is the same thing that leads young misses to make sheepeyes at brass-buttoned soldiers round a Western army post. The ordinary citizen is a nobody in the estimation of romantic maid- ens who dwell within sight of the bar- recks and parade ground. In cities there are women who fall in love with policemen and street car men, because, in their eyes, the patrolman or the conductor is a sort of public character, a love affair with whom has «unusual dignity. I have been astonished at the number of girls who seem to be on the most friendly terms with young street car conductors. The baseball player is the object of a great deal of adoration on the part of the fair sex. There is no telling how many girls, and grown. women, too, are in love, or think they are in love, with every member } of both St. Louis ball teams. I have’! heard of a number of cases of that’ xind myself, in some of which the di-; v:nity worshiped by the poor girl) d.an't even know of her existence. What Oatches Men. But this sort of thing isn't confined! to the ladies, by any means. When you hear of some fellow squandering his patrimony to win the love of an actress, do you imagine it’s the beauty of the stage lady that inspires him? Partly that, perhaps, but if he would look about him he would find many a girl just as pretty as the actress and more desirable ten times cver as a friend or wife. What he really is infatuated with is the faci that his inamorata is on the stage.

that she is known to the public, that che basks in netoriety, that she kicks un her heels before hundreds of per- sons every night and that her Iike-| ress is pasted on billboards on every «treet all over town. Why, there are many men who wil! try to flirt with every restaurant cashier to whom they pay a mea! Because she is “in check. Why? Others even will hob- public life.” nob with waitresses and think that’ ~- - they have done something smart, But to return to the railroad man. I knew of one instance where the con- ductor of an accommodation train which left a city in the South every evening, ran to a litte ‘pwn 50 milés out and rourned in Ma, morning, was the biggest man in tha town at the end of his run. Every youth felt “cheaty” if he were on speaking terms with “the captain,” as the conductor was universally known, and the " used to gather at the hotel, the “captain” etopped over night, and discuss pol- it‘cs, business, crops, railroading tiuets and everything else under the sun with him. At last the “captain” chtained a place for one of his sons as flagman of the train, and you may be eure that favored young Man was the society lion of the euter terminus of >» e. eA A ea Sy Tht oa th> “accommodation” as long as he held the “run.” In small towns. and villages in the Southwest everybody goes to meet the trains. They want to see who gets on and who gets off and who is sitting in the cars. But most of all they want to exercise the proud privi- lege of saying to that great man, the conductor, as he hops off to get his “orders,” some familiar word. “Hello, Bill,’ a Scrubbs Corner cit- izen shouts at the conductor. and if the conductor answer, “How're ‘y, Jim?” the bosom of the citizen swells with pride. He is glad there are so raany of his fellow citizens on hand to see his glory and is grateful if a car window or two is open that the passengers may hear and know how friendly he is with the man who runs the train. Railroader’s Importance. So it isn’t very surprising to me when the whole town defers to and admires the haughty railroader, that susceptible young women should lose their hearts to the gentlemen of the brass buttons and lantern or to the grimy individual who operates the viant locomotive. I knew of one instance wherein + railroad man actually put to political vse the popularity and notoriety of his distinguished position as engineer of the midday express train. He ran tor Congress and came within a few votes of beating the shrewd individual who had represented that district for a decade.

J. LIVER WENDELL BARNES, (0) “The Spender,” is ‘‘broke’— broke financially, broke phys- feally, broke mentally. Voluntarily he started out to become a spend- thrift and with set purpose began a career of dissipation and prodigality that was to scatter his fortune to the winds. “T will spend $500 a day,” he de- ciared as his patrimony was handed over to him, when he became of age, “and then when my money is all gone I will settle down to work.” But—— His weird scheme was more com- . plete than he planned it; he spent his money according to schedule; in addi- tion he spent his health and, most ex- e traVagant of all, he spent his mind. And now, not yet 22 years old, in- > siead of settling down to work, as he ' had so blithely schemed it, he will en- | joy the wages of his dissipation in an insane asylum. Young Barnes was different from cther spenders. While the fortune he squandered did not compare with and the willful determination to on until not a cent was left that de him a shining mark.

Sshulze, dying a millionaire; the other, Irving Schulze, made a for- tune in the Pennsylvania oil fields, andj when he died in Paris eight years azo, left most of his estate to be di- vided between four nieces and nephews, Oliver Wendell Barnes’ sLare being somewhat more than $100,000. For six years, until he became of age, the youth enjoyed an income of $6000 a year. The family based great hopes on his future. In those days he ruve no indication, of wildness, al- though one member of the family de- clared “he was always dreaming of yachts and automobiles.” He seemed to be studious and level- headed and his father, a railroad genius, had great expectations of the boy following in his footsteps. To give him a practical start he got the soung fellow to go to work in the Baldwin locomotive shops as a ma- chinist. There, he applied himself to the Lard phyical tashs assigned him and all appeared to be going well until he was called home to Michigan on his twenty-first birthday to personal- ty receive his inheritance. This was last August. In the toil of the ma- chine shops he had evidently awaited this day and made his plans accord- ingly. “Now, Oliver,” said his father, as he handed over the certificate of de- posit for $100,000, “I hope you have made up your mind to put this for- tune to a good use.” “T have,” said Oliver. “What do you intend to do with it?” asked the elder, while the members of the family council! leaned forward with gratified interest, expecting perhaps, some Utopian resolve that would mark the boy’s high spirit. “T intend to spend it,” he answered, coolly.

But the young fellow was obdurate alike to pleas and threats. “T can't settle down seriously to life while I have this sum of money that really doesn’t belong to me,” he said. “For many years it has been like an incubus over me. So I intend to spend it and spend it in a hurry. [t won't tnke me long, and at the same time I wil' get rid of my wild oats. At the rate of $500 a day it ought to be gone in seven months. Then I will come tack and start in life seriously and unincumbered. The tears of his mother, the stern- ness of his father and the arguments or his relatives could not sway him. So, that’s how Oliver Wendell Barnes started out as “The Spender.” He hastened to Chicago, and for a while was the wonder of the famed Pompeian room at the Annex, where he caused a deluge of wine that ri- valed the flow of the marble fountain. But hé quic’ly came to the conclusion that Chicago was too slow and sped to New York, “where a fellow could get some action for his money.” On the way there he paralyzed the train, in more ways than one, by buying out on a train between Chicago 2,000 000 3,000 25,000 the wine supply three ‘times. for all the passengers. Gotham is used to spenders, but Barnes woke up the inhabitants on his arrival with the slogan that he kad to get rid of $500 a day or he wouldn't be happy. They proceeded immediately to relieve his mind and his purse. From one end of “The Great White Way” to the other he spread a trail of dollars. Word went down the line that “The Prize Boob” had arrived on Broadway, and soon he had in his wake a motley array of chorus girls, gamblers, “con” men and leeches. For his hotel apartments he paid $50 a day; he hired an auto by the day at $3 an hour, amounting to the tidy sum of $72; for meals, wines and entertainment his daily outlay was nearly $400. One little “Bohemian supper at which several well-known actresses “performed” cost him $1500. To vary the monotony he was to euch stunts as to hire a minstrel troupe to entertain his followers in por rear of a cafe, at an expense of Gifts were showered right and left on the Show Girls that took his fancy.

Early in the game he caught up vith Wilson Mizner, who achieved fleeting fame some time before by a raysterious marriage with the widow of Charles T. Yerkes, the Chicago traction king. Mizner was a “bo- hemian”’ who did not let Barnes over- look any opportunities in finding the ‘‘gav life.” They were stopping at the same ho- -—————— —= [ISCUSSION in Washington of [) the recent recommendation by the Postmaster-General of a Postal Savings Bank system, and ccnsideration of the question result- ing from the recent financial string- ency, call: attention to interesting facts in connection with the working of the English postal savings institu- tion. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated recently that the total amount due depositors in the English Post- office Savings Bank at the end of 1907 was estimated at $787,590,000. These fixures efford convincing proof that the British people are thrifty. They also seem to bear testimony to the success of the institution. It is a little more than forty-six vears since the English Postoffice Savings Bank was started. Now it has about 10,000,000 customers, which means that practically that one person in every five of the entire population of the United Kingdom has an account open with the Govern- ment. Sydney Buxton, the Postmaster- General, recently declared “that the depositors have as security the whole credit of the nation.” The total cost of conducting this gigantic concern amounts to $2,500,000 a year. When operations were commenced in 1861, a comparatively small num- ver of offices were opened throughout the country, but now there are close to 15.000 branches of the bank in al- a Facts About tel—the Hotel Rand. Barnes Jhafed at the restraint placed on his actions, and, declaring that the rules and reg- ulations were fussy and silly, he leased the establishment outright and placed Mizner in charge as manager. Another boon companion was Capt. Sedley, a familiar figure in Broadway life.. The latter had some yachting friends, and for awhile proceedings wore transferred from land to water. But here The Spender'’s wild career came near being terminated by the law. In one eruise down to Newport, Miss Nina’ Francis, an actress, charged that she was held _ prisoner fur three days by Barnes and a com- panion. Barnes made his way back to New York secretly, after the young weman had been rescued by officers, and finally succeeded in getting her 'o withdraw the charge. For awhile ee most every town and viilage, and in each of these every depositor may pay in or withdraw money. The whole of the accounts, however, are kept at the central office in Lon- don, and no postmaster is permitted to keep any record of the transactions he has made after forwarding his re- port each evening to headquarters. Thousands and thousands of ledgers are required for the 10.000.000 ac- counts kept at the central office, and the exact state of each person's credit can be seen ata glance. To deal with this enormous business a staff of 3000 clerks is daily employed, and every postmaster is in the service of the bank. On an average 50,000 deposits are made each day and the withdrawals number at least 18,000. All these have io be entered several times by many clerks, checked and added together, and the work would be overwhelming were it not organized on the most sci- entific principles. The progress of the bank has been by rapid strides. During the first year of its exis ence 178,495 accéunts were opened and $8,491,105 deposited. Now, as already stated, the depositors number over 10,000,000 and the amount at their credit exceeds $787.- 400,000, or an average deposit of something over $75 for each account. The latest s‘atistics revealed the rather singular fact ‘hat ‘he people of Ireland wee the thriftiest. in the kingdom. The aveiage amount to SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

In the after-theater galaxy of benuty that surrounded him, there was one charmer with whom he was especially smitten. She was “Brown- ie’ Hall, also known as Edna Me- Goron, daughter of a Cincinnati busi- ness man. She was one of the lead- ing lights in the front row of a Broadway musical show. One night in the midst of a gay party, Barnes ciled: “Brownlie, let's get married.” “All right.” laughed the girl. They grabbea their wraps and coats and ran out, with the bantering crowd in pursuit. The two jumped into an wuto and hastened to Jersey City. their credit was stated to be over $100; for England and Wales the average was given as over $70, and for Scotland over $65. Apart from the thrifty habits of the people as a whole and the growth cf the population, several causes have contributed to the increased business of the bank. The number of posat- offices open for banking business has heen largely augmented, and the re- strictions which at one time unduly limited the amount receivable by the Postmaster-General have been re- laxed.

Mrs. Mary Gridley Bell Illustrates How Lives of People Were _ Molded by Strange Will of Gen. Asahel Gridley of Blooming- ton, Ills—J. D. Brezzi of This City Has Will Engraved on Copper Plates—Curious Bequests of Millionaires Shaw, Mullanphy and Peper of St. Louis HAT the manner in which mil- T lionaires dispose of property by will often affects the whole afier life of many persons was re- ca'led to the people of Illinois the other day by the announcement from Kenosha, Wis., that Mrs. Mary Grid- lev Bell, daughter of Gen. Asahel Gridley of Bloomington, Ill., was dving at that place. Gen. Gridley left a peculiar will, that molded a num- ber of lives. .Among those who felt the spell of the dead man's will was the daughter, the beautiful, brilliant Mary Gridley. ~ Gen. Gridley occupied a prominent piace in Illinois a generation ago. He was e of the leaders among the picneers of that State, a man of strong personality, who stamped him- self upon his time and accumulated a large fortune. His advent to Bloomington was in 1830, and he was the first merchant there. He served as Captain in the Biack Hawk War and his bravery won for him the rank of Brigadier- General. He later attained eminence at the bar, was elected to both houses of the State Legislature and many Alton shops and otherwise favored _ neidentally, he became the first mil- death, 25 years ago, was regarded as a public calamity. He left four children, two sons and twu daughters. His great estate was be queathed to them by a peculiar will. The testament was signed Sept. 11, 1880, a few months before Gen. Grid- ley died. It was a voluminous docu- ment, containing numerous codicils, revisions and minute stipulations. The eldest son, Albert, died manv years ago. Edward, the other son, resides in Chicago. Mrs. JiWius Scho- enurock, the elder daughter,\ lives in Paris, France, where she (was fa- mous as a beauty for many years. She makes occasional visits to Bloom- ington to look after her estate in Cen- tral Illinois. The fourth child, Mary, occupied a prominent place in society in her native State for years. Her good looks and intellectual endow- ments made her a marked woman among her: associates. | provision in the will that any heir who filed suit or was party rlaintiff to any suit the object of which was to “break” the will should furfeit all inheritance rights of That provision did

pot prevent litigation being insti- tuted. One feature of the legal discussion involved Mrs. Schoenrock of Paris. Tt was alleged that she was an alien, having become a citizen of France, and thereby lost all rigbt to inherit under the will. Thus a rare and un- usual point of international law was dragged in, to complicate the siiuation a ready complicated by the intricate provisions of the will itself. She instituted proceedings to have the courts recognize her inheritance. The peculiar will left by Gen. Grid- ley caused many disagreements emong his children, however, though they did not actually result in litiga- tion. Mrs. Gridley, widow of the General, died in 1900, and now the Leautiful Gridley mansion in Bloom- jagton, “The Oaks,” has passed into other hands. Mary Gridley Bell’s lot in life was not the happiest aside from the dis-. agreements and contentions caused by her father’s will. About 25 years ago she married Frederic A. Bell of Rochester and Buffalo, N. Y.” At the time of her marriage she was the civorced wife of John A. Bruce of Chicago.. Four years after her mar- riage to Bell she returned home after a trip and was refused admission to the house, her husband informing her that all her pe:sonal belongings were stored in the stable. She filed suit for divorce and $3000 a year alimony. She won her alimony suit in the State courts and ultimate- ly in the United States Supreme Court, receiving. in addition to the annuity a large portion. of her mil- lionaire husband's es‘ate, which, with the $250,000 she inherited from her father, made her a rich woman. A condition of her right to alimony was that she should appear at least once every year and demand admit- tsunce to her husband’s home. She complied with that condition, but al- ways was refused permission to enter. Because of the prominence and wealth cf the couple, their separation was the subject of prolonged society gos- sip, but never was explained. The Gridleys were much in the pub- lic eye in former years, but have lived quieter, more retired lives since the death of Mrs. Gridley eight years ago. The will of Gen. Gridley was all bur forgotten by the people of IIL- nois until the announcement came *hat Mrs. Bell was near death in Wis- consin. In few ways is the caprice of the human mind exhibited so strikingty as in the making of wills. The odd ee in the testament of Gen. dliey of Illinois were only one instance of a thing almost universal. Men with money seem to take a de- light in tying all sorts of strings to bequests they make, and queer wills are drawn every day in every city in the country. A St. Louisan recently displayed originality in the making of his will, nct so much in the way he devised his property as in the manner in which his will was gotten up. It was’ SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

The author of that remarkable doc- ument is Jean Dominic Brezzi. He is sti’l living, and says he expects to continue living for many years to me. Mr. Brezzi claims to be the only Corsican resident ‘n St. Louis. lie is a salesman for a St. Louis man- ufacturing company. His home ig ar 4630 Cook avenue. Mr. Brezzi had his will drawn up in legal form and carried the “copy” to the jewelry house which did the engraving. He asked to see the man isi Charge of that branch of the busi- ness. “I have an unusual order to give you,” said the Corsican, “I want my will engraved.” Other Peculiar Provisions. He exhibited the “copy” to the en- graver and a price was agreed upon. It was necessary, in order to have the lettéring of a size and style satisfac- tory to Mr. Brezzi, that three large piates should be engraved, thus mak- ing the will, when printed, to cover three sheets of parchment. One of the legacies was a medal, presented to Mr. Brezzi’s father by Napoleon lil for distinguished service in the F'rench army in 1862. The engraved will was delivered to Mr. Brezzi a few days ago and he expressed himself as satisfied with the work. The jewelry house which did the engraving says that, so far as any of its employes have beard, no similar order ever was given in the history of modern en- graving. The peculiar matrimonial provis- ions of Jay Gould’s will have been b ought to public attention of late by ice visit of Prince Helle de Sagan ic this country in his efforts to mar- ry Mme. Anna Gould, divorced wife of Count Bont de Castellane. Ojd Jay stipulated that the Inheritance of any child of his who married with- out the consent of all his executors should be cut in twain. Anna had a hard time persuading her executors, her brothers and sister Helen, to consent to her marriage to Boni, and when Helle came along _it was announced that the executors’ consent had been refused. Anna, how- ever, had obtained the opinion of emi- nent counsel that her compliance vith the will in her first marriage Westminster boys is éven @

rade her inheri‘ance absolutely her own and she could marry as she pleased the second time. Three St. Louis millionaires have left unusual wills. That of the late Christian Peper, the wealthy tobacco manufacturer, was remarkable in that it disclosed to the public for the first time the fact that “Christion Peper Jr.”” was not the real son of the tes- tator, but only an udopted child. This was revealed by the language of the will, which directed that a legacy be given to “Chiistian Cornelius, called Peper.” The hisio:y of Mr. Cornelius’ adoption by the testator came out in the subsequent litigation over the will. Henry Shaw, the rich St. Louisan, tc whom the city is indebted for the Missouri Botanical Gardens, common- ly known as “Shaw’s Garden,” left a will with some strange provisions. One was that he be buried within the gardens, which provision was carried out. Another was that his town heuse, located in the present site of the Mercantile Club, should be removed to the gardens. He left 310,000 to pay for that. His executors found, however, that to remove the house, a large bric« structure, would cost $30,000, while to erect a new house which would be a duplicate of the old would cost only $10,000. The question of what to do was submitted to the courts and a decision was rendered that the orig- inal house must be moved, though the cost might be much heavier than tad been estimated by Mr. Shaw. This was done, accordingly, at great | MARY GRIDLEY BELL. |

expense and with great care and tivuble. The will of the late Bryan Mul- lanphy, the millionaire who founded st. Louis Mullenphy Hospital and for whom Mullanphy street is named, contained a bequest of money to be held in trust to provide a fund for bringing Iiish immigrants to the West and as:isting them to get set- tled comfortably in this part of the ceuntry. There was a flood of Irish insmigration at ‘he time the will was wade, which now has fallen off and this fund is accumulating in the hends of the trustees. The wills of the late Tom Snell, the Clinton millionaire and Lothario, and of Marshal Field, the Chicago merchant prince, both sought to cir- cumvent the law against entail by providing that their estates should be held intact for a period of years amounting to almost a century. VYhe making of pecullar wills is not vonfined to this country. All sorts cf queer testaments come to light in Europe. One of the st¢angest of recent times was that of a mysterious Russian woman who left a will providing that a little chamber should be fitted up in her mausoleum in the cemetery of Pere Lachaise in Paris and that $40,- 000 should be paid to any person who would occupy that chamber day and n‘ght for 12 months, holding no com- munication with any living person save the messenger who should bring meals for the watcher from a nearby restaurant. A candidate came for- ward and spent several months in the mauseoleum. It was observed finally that he was losing his mind and the authorities caused him to be removed. The $40,000 legacy never has been earned. —— An Englishman bequeathed $2600 to his widow. but provided that she should not “enjoy” the money until after her death, when it should be expended in burying her in a manner befitting the widow of the. testator. The courts held that bequest to be nujJl and void, as they did the legacy left by another Englishman on ‘condi- tion that the legatee “drink up all the water in the sea.” This legacy was argued solemnly by learned coun- . two whole days, afier which it was “taken under ad- visement” by the erudite Judge, who finally ruled that, the condli‘ion being impossible of performance, the legacy was invalid. sel for - : - Queer crochets with regard to the — embodi manner of burial are often ed in wills, the testator many times di- recting that he be cremated and that his ashes be disposed of in quaint or spectacular fashion. sire.

The Lucky HE ancient rhyming riddle about +: going over London. Bridge and meeting a Wes‘mipster scholar is surely one of the oldest jingles in the language, and it goers to show how long the boys who go to school in the Abbey precinct have been a factor in the life of London. The Abbey, St. Stephen’s Palace and Westminster .School have always stood upon the same few acres of Metropolitan soil, and they are linked together by many usages, by virtue of which the schoolboys have many privileges. For instance, these boys have_pos- sessed an inalienable right to a place in the abbey to view the corona‘ion cf the sovereign of these realms ever since the reign of King James Il, and it is a Westmnister boy who, as ‘he sovereign advances up the nave, is deputed to shout out in Latin, “Long live the King.” Then all the King’s echolars shout it af ie Fr ny ing the usage of bund? | th+ coronation of “ire Edward, the scovereign's head ; school cried, “Long live King.

$till Alive (@, Provides Subject _for Scientific Study Resulting in Remarkable Theory That Sui- cide Is a Germ Disease Com- " communicable by infection? These are questions medical men and sociologists are now asking. In Cimeinnati, O., physicians who have ttudied the case of Etta Saulters. a young woman who attempted suicide 2€ times, answer these questions in the affirmative. They sav suicide is a germ disease. that it is inherited, and that it is infectious. This novel theory is indorsed by others who have given the subject careful study Not only does one pnysician of high sionding in the Ohio city make the assertion that suicide is a disease, he also names the drug which relieves the disease. Alcohol, he says, is an antidote for the suicide toxin ahd n couple of drinks of whisky will dis- sinate the suicidal impulse of any moelancholiac. The physician says he has never heard of a drunken person attempting suicide, but the police rec- ords of St. Louis contain many such cases. Be that as it may, the career of the seautiful young Etta Saulters, who nas been dubbed “The _ Suicide Queen” by the Cincinnati police and newspapers, is a remarkable illus- tration of a perplexing sociological and scientific question. If there is such a thing as a suicide microbe, that young woman seems to be infect- ei with the new-found bacillus to an extent hitherto unheard of. Her 26 attempts at‘suicide cover a period of nearly three years and she haa adopted a great variety of meth- ods of self-slaughter, none of which has proven successful up to date.

When not suffering from acute mel- echolia and when the bacilli sui- cidum which infest her system lie dormant and inactive she is reticent ahout the 26 struggles she has made to rid herself of life. But her doings _ tn that line have caused frequent po- _' Mee interference.

From that evening, her attempts to commit suicide became frequents Five times since her first attempt she has tried carbolic acid. She has also taken deadly drafts of laydanum, paiis green, arsenic and other poisons. One morning pedestrians and resi- dents in the same neighborhood where she swallowed her first draft of poison were terrified as a girl's body shot from a high window. Rruised, maimed and unconscious, the body lay on the sidewalk. The po- liceman on the beat thought her dead and called the patrol wagon. But before it arrived. he sent in another call, this time for the ambulance. Again Etta Saulters lived to tete-a- tete with Death. It seemed as though the idea of suicide took possession of her every t'me she had the “blues.”’ Trouble or worry; real or imaginary, seemed, in her state of mind, to call for a re- volver, a noose, a vial of poison or the cold waters of some deep stream. But success always eluded her in the grim seeking after death. Usually some policeman happened along just in the nick of time to'cut her down if she had hung herself, or to rush her off to the hospital, if she had taken poison. In the latter case the stomach.pump undid what she had gone such desperate lengths to do. Often she has been thrown into a frenzy of disappointment by the frus- tration of her endeavors to kill her- muni- cable by Infection

eeir She has fought policemen with ihe fury of a tigress and even after veing placed under lock and key at a pclice station has improvised a noose from parts of her clothing and tried to hang herself to the bars of a cell. Only the most vigilant watchfulness hus prevented her from committing suicide in that manner. At other times, however, she has been arrested at her own request wnen the suicidal impulse was work- ing within her and she was striving to resist. it. The police, realizing her reculiar situation, always locked her un when she made such a request. The police took the precaution to warp every druggist in Cincinnati not to sell poisons ‘to the woman in quantities large enough to produce death. She circumvented that bit of

Ohio River and the dark waters of the Miami and Erie Canal offer voppor- tunities for persons bent on self- destruction, but Etta Saulters ap- pears to be afraid of water, although she has made three atfempts, within the knowledge of the police, to drown herself. The following is her complete rec- ord as compiled by the police and hospital authorities in Cincinnati: July 4, 1905—Swallowed an ounce 6? carbolic acid; pumped out at the City Hospital. The acid was not dilut- ed and prompt action alone saved her life. Aug. 5—Stabbed herself with a hat tin. Failed to find a vital spot. Oct. 28—Drank carbolic acid, but it was a weak solution and did little harm beyond searing her lips and mouth.

The Cor- oner exhibited the letter and at the same time stated that her request would not be granted because. she might become infected with the bacil- li suicidum. “I make it a rule now never to re- turn an implement of death to rela- tives of the deceased,” said he. “Sta- tistics that I have compiled during the time I have been in office show that in many cases where the weapon has been returned to relatives a sec- ond, and, sometimes, a third death followed. “These statis'ics seem to be proof that there must be contagion; perhaps the microbe of self-mu*der clings to deadly work.

To a certain extent, no doubt, this is urue, but the present champion of the world, populatly known as “Tommy” Purns, is a striking exception, for, al- though boxing practice naturally oc- cupies a considerable part of his day, in his “off” hours he is never happier than when reading the best authors, or in playing football. “As a lad, I always took a great interest in boxing,” he said, “but I! never had any serious idea of taking op the sport as a profession.

Commonwealth Government Lacks Moral Support in Handling Tobacco Situation, Says Writer — Trust Alone Can End Night Riding, Law and Authorities Being Helpless

T HE STATE OF KENTUCKY as officially organized, is only an empty shell. It has no moral force behind it. The State officers, from the Governor down, are manikins, going through the motions of representing the people. The law is a joke. The machinery of the State appears to be manipulated by wires from the offices of the Tobacco Trust in Wall street. The State militia, instead of wearing the uniform of the people, are clothed in the livery of Duke. , Upon the other hand stand the people of Kentucky, calm, resolute, united. Ken- tucky today is ruled by public opinion and not by State officials or written parch- ments. These are some of the amazing disclosures in an exceedingly interesting article on the Night Riders by Thomas B. Hanly in the April number of the Van Norden Magazine. Here for the first time in any Eastern publication is it made manifest that the Government of Kentucky has collapsed, that the laws and State machinery have lost the confidence of the people, an:i that, in short, a condition exists where there are merely two parties to this thrilling fight—the people of Kentucky on the one hand and the Tobacco Trust on the other, the official trappings of State author- ity having become merely an appenage of the Trust. The Sunday Post-Dispatch is authorized to make the following extracts from this interesting article:

BY THOMAS B. HANLY. HERE exists .oday in more than 70 per cent of the counties of Kentucky a condition of unrest*eand of defiance toward the law, overt T or otherwise, unprecedented in the history of the every United States. The tobacco district, the wea]th- fest, ordinarily the most peaceful and the most jealous of the rights of persons and property, is practically up in arms against all organized au- thority. The manifestation of this has been in the destruction by fire and otherwise of at least $25,000,000 worth of property; it has _ been shown in the whipping and beating of scores of men and the exiling of still more. Cities and towns have been invaded by armed hosts who have set up brief reigns of terror; other cities and towns today are the walled towns of feudal days in momentary expectation of attack. The militia where it is not on actual duty is under orders, awaiting a call. The Governor, by special message has impor- tuned the Legislature for an emergency appro- pfiation to meet the crisis; in strong words he has’ called upon the good citizen to stamp out the violence which under the general name of “night riding” is spreading throughout his juris- @ictics There 1s no qenfaY, In the great State of Ken- tucky today there exists a condition of mob rule.

In the northern and eastern section, 40 counties in the heart of the Blue Grass region and around it raise the famous light tobacco known as Burley. ‘This is absolutely essential in the manufacture of plug. The industry in this section gives em- ployment to 40,000 people, net including brokers, speculators, warehousemen and other middlemen, and 160,000 acres are devoted to the cultivation. As one leaves the Burley section there comes a group of counties, 17 in number, not essentially tobacco counties, but some of which are utilizing »yart for it. Then come two counties, Warren and Butler, ‘|i the ” American farmer is a very slow-thifking, lethar- gic individual, and he hates to do more than talk about things when he is not tilling the soil. Vari- ous small unions were established, however, in various counties, but they were moribund. H. E. Swain of Henry County, a young farmer, became interested in the project and he began to talk about it. He went about day and night and with mortgages and forced sales as his argu- ment got enough farmers stirred up to organize unions of the American Society of Equity in eight counties of the 40. Delegates from these eight counties met in convention in Newcastle on Oct. 1, 1906, but this convention was packed by representatitves of the tobacco company and of the warehousemen and it amounted to nothing. Another convention was called for Winchester on Oct. 10, and the delegates this time, alive to the situation, succeeded in obtaining the floor at the convention of the State Development Asso- ciation, an older organization of business men, the object of which is stated in the title. That gave the tobacco nen their first big hearing and won for them recruits in many other counties, Emboldened they announced that they would start upon a 40-day whirlwind campaign throughout the belt to tell the farmer how he might better himself. Dr. George W. McMillan of Pendleton was made manager and the object ‘was to obtain agreements from the farmers not to dispose of their 1905 crop at the prices fixed by the trust. Two score speak- ing and proselyting parties were at once organized, el- oguent speakers were found, brass bands were hired, calls and notices were printed and _ they started out, to meet on Jan. 2, 1907, at Winchester to report. That .40-days’ campaign was one of the liveliest in the history of the sec- tion.

They are going to “cut out” the crop, as it is called in the light Burley district. Even in this time of stringency and depression the farmers have ‘agreed solemnly not to plant a single stalk and to fight the trust along that line. They have accepted the challenge of the trust that it can get tobacco somehow and some- where despite Kentucky and it is going to see. ‘It is safe to say that such a condition has never before been witnessed in this country or in any other country of the world. __ Not only are they determined not to plant, but they are equally determined not to let their neigh- bor plant.

AREA OF STRUGGLE IN KENTUCKY d Caw | | (BU “.) LEY STRICT 34 ) /

%E RQ OM, in which a variety of tobacco known as the “One Sucker,” is raised, being so-called because of a peculiarity in the growth of the plant. North to northwest of this belt is a group of counties, six in number, known as the “Green River district.” Immediately to the west of this lies the “Hen- derson stemming district,’”’ consisting of 11 coun- ties and part of a twelfth. Beginning at the south of the “One Sucker’ district in the western half of Simpson County, running southward and westward in Tennessee, through 10 counties and then north to the Ohio River, runs the famous “Dark Patch’ of Ken- tucky. Following the Ohio it skirts Livingston County, drops southeast, bisecting Caldwell, and when it reaches the point of beginning it has in- closed 16 counties of Kentucky and 10 of Ten- nessee, 26 in all. Here is grown the tobacco which Europe, Africa and Asia must have, and the average yield is 132,000,000 pounds annually, with 138,000 acres under cultivation. Kentucky is the chief tobacco-producing State of the country and of its 119 counties about 85 are dependent upon it. According to the census of 1900 the State in 1889 produced about 37 per cent of the entire crop of the United States, with a value of $20,000,000. Tobacco is the principal industry of the State, the vast majority of whose citizens are interested in the work, directly or indirectly.

world and it was practically without competition. It could gon» further with the manufactured product and it was time to turn its attention to the producer, the farmer who all these years had been getting along fairly well, although the depression of 1892 had lowered his prices to some extent. The trust then, it is admitted, started out to re- form the method of disposing of tobacco in the tobacco belt. It did not like the warehouse charges, the extra hauling charges, the prizing and rehandling, so it straightway districted all the sections from which it obtained its plapts, set up its agencies and warehouses and announced that it would deal with the farmer direct. The farmer did not object, for he saw in it a chance to get rid of the fees and commissions theretofore paid and he greeted the new agents with great courtesy. , Prices Went Down, Down. Just about that time the country was on the crest of the wave of prosperity, which broke on the rocks in October of 1907. Everywhere wages and prices were going up, money was plentiful, manufacturers, miners and farmers were happy. It was about 1899, also, when there was more demand for tobacco and more sold according to (he reports of the American Tobacco Co., the price of raw tobacco in Kentucky and its ad- joining territory began to go down and down. From 12 to 11, from 10 to 9, to 8 to 7, and in the years of 1902, 1903, 1904 and 1905, in the light Burley region, it has been brought down to average price of from 61-2 to 7 1-2 cents a pound. These figures are not disputed. There was no appeal from the price, and in all this time the actions of the agents of the company had become more and more positive. Men were told they could seli tobacco at the price fixed or go out of business. Many took the advice, as the crop reports indicate, preferring to turn their farms out to grass. The vast majority: could not do this and they were com- pelled to get along as best they could. The con- stantly increasing list of mortgages, the forced sales of household property and the emigration of the small farmer to the west show the condi- tion at this périod. The country was helpless and hopeless, and to crown it all it is emphatically said, upon the word of a half-dozen citizens, Mr. R. K. Smith, vice-president of the American Tobacco Co., an- nounced that the crop for 1906 must sell for an average of 5 1-2 cents a pound in the light Burley region. This was before the 1905 crop had been cut and before it could be known what the next year’s crop would be. The announcement went over the country like a chill wind and under it every farmer, tenant or landlord shivered with fear. In the early '90s J. A. Everett, a seed man of Indianapolis, becazne seized of a great idea, and out of that was born the American Society of Equity. Mr. Everett’s idea was the modest one of so organizing the farmers of the world that the price for all farm products could be regulated entirely by the producer. Mr. Everett's ider did not appeal] very strikingly to the farmer of the United States, but in the light Burley region of Kentucky it struck a responsive chord, for it was beginning to dawn upon them that if they were to combine and refuse to sell at 61-2 cents a pound the price might go up. There was no other place on earth for the American Tobacco “Co. to obtain its plug tobacco supply. But even that idea did not awaken them. The met with jeers from the tobacco company rep- resentatives and criticism from many newspa- pers for their Quixotic project, but they persisted and the movement grew. When the reports were all in on the night of Jan. 2, 1907, it was found that farmers representing 58 per cent of the en- tire crop, or the output of 92,800 acres, had en- tered into a solemn undertaking to stand together in the fight. The price of one was to be the price of all. At once a permanent organization was formed, with Clarence Le Bus of Cynthiana as president and Lucian Beckner, a young lawyer of Winchester, as the secretary. Each county was organized into distriets with local unions, from which one delegate went to the County Board of Control. From the county one man went as a member of the State Board of Control, which was to be all-powerful. The staff of missionaries was maintained to continue urging the farmer, and a district sample room was established at Winchester. There a sample of all the tobacco grown in the district was placed on exhibition, with the announcement that any person could purchase it at the average price of 15 cents a pound. That was somewhat of a jump from 71-2 cents a pound, and it cre- ated a profound impression. The trust announced that it had all the tobacco it wanted, but the farmer knew a little better than that. It was the policy of the society to carry over the VYear such of its members as could not carry themselves, and to do that some very keen finan- cing had to be done. It became a very active bor- rower both in the banks and among its wealthier members. Money was obtained from every quar- ter and much of it came from the warehousemen of Louisville and Cincinnati, who had seen their business drop by the advent of the trust. It was Grass region, this year if the present fight is maintained.

Growers Hope to Pass Over Governor's Veto — doing business in the State, and further requires every buyer, agent or person who purchases tobacco to certify that he is not buying for any such trust, combination or syndicate. That last could easily be evaded, of course, but the first part is a staggering blow. If it passes and is approved by the courts it will shut up the larg- est factories of the American Tobacco Co. around Louisville, and it will mean an enormous loss to the company., Many suppose that the negotia- tions entered into already by the company are inspired by that bill. Opinions as to whether the bill will pass vary. It will be a bitter fight and undoubtedly it will be vetoed by the present Governor, Mr. Willson, a Republican, elected last fall, was admittedly the attorney for the American Tobacco Co. in the Court of Appeals of the State. It is asserted that the bill will be passed over his veto, unless the arguments of the strong lobby now in operation prevail. They have already won their fight against the American Tobacco Co., its allies and the “regie” agents in the “dark patch.” Tobacco down there is selling for 10 to 11 cents as against an average of little more than 4 cents in 1903. The fight down there, the night riding and the violence, ig to keep the battle won, for the trust and its agents or friends are unceasing in their efforts to persuade the farmers to leave the association. Some farmers, seduced by higher prices offered by the agents, have not joined. They and the agents themselves, wherever they are found. are the ones whipped; their property has been de- stroyed and the assertion is made that it will be destroyed and the men whipped until they become loyal to the association or stop their work. It matters not whether the militia come into the region or detectives or other law officers, night riding, as it is called, will continue, and it is fair to say that there will be few convictions. Whether they will admit it or not, the majority in the district believe today that they are adopt- ing the only way by which the trust may be fought and prices maintained. Ne Place for Detective. It wouldn’t be very hard work to find out who *he night riders are, but it would be dangerous. A detective sent by Gov. Willson down to Rus- seliville obtained in three or four days a list of names. Almost anybody could tell him, and the man went before the grand jury. Four or five of the men he had on his list were on the jury and the detective somehow did not give his testimony in full. He left the town advising everybody to join the association. You can take it throughout the _ district— everybody deploring the situation and condemn- ing lawlessness in the abstract, but except for those employed by the trust or friendly to it, no effort is being made to discover the night riders and no attempt will be made as it stands at present. The militia is all infantry, and by the time they rush in one direction there is trouble in another. The county authorities control] the militia and they are not working hard. The situation in the dark patch was more crit- ical than in any other section at the outset. This is because the regie contractors, the American Tobacco Co. and allied interests in 1900 or there- abouts entered into a ‘“‘gentlemen’s’”’ agreement by which the entire district was parceled out, each man being supreme in his particular baili- Lindsey Mitchell, a Buyer for the Trust, After — : Being Beaten Up by Night Riders, : been more systematically followed in the dar than in the light.

Other men, proclaim- —_— ing their independence, refused to go into association, saying they were free moral sold their tobacco. The trust announced prices of tobacco would have been raised because of the increasing demand. That was until 1905, when the “night rt peared. He was nothing new in the ten or twelve years before he had b turnpike and tollgate system of the made all roads free, and still earlier his proto- | type might have been seen in the original Kiu Klux Klan of Tennessee which had appem:ea In the days of “reconstruction.” He has worked hard since he first ap at Trenton in December of that year. He has captured and burned in Hopkinsville, Princeton, | Bethel, Sherbourne, Russellville and several other towns; he has whipped seventy or eighty Men, burned thousands of pounds of tobeeco and scraped over scores of plant beds. He has never met organized opposition, and there has never been an arrest, although there have been several deaths. Strange as it may seem, the violence has not al- ways been directed toward men who were not members of the association. The independents, it is asserted, have done a little night riding on —

Ruins of “Regie” (Foreign Government) Warehouse Destroyed by Fire at Hopkinsville, December 2. wick. One agent did not enter the territory of another agent, and in some cases where the boun- dary bisected a farm the farmer would have to sell one-half of his crop to one man and one-half to another. This agreement was in full working force in 1901, and then, as in the light Burley region, while al] the rest of the country was experiencing prosperity, the tobacco farmer had his years of depression. In 1898 the average price of dark tobacco was 81-2 cents, in 1903 it had fallen to 4 cents. As in the Burley region, the country was becoming bankrupt, mortgages were piling up in every county, farmers were going out of busi- ness, the negro laborer was leaving for the towns and the small farmer was moving away. They were compelled that year to sell tobacco for less than it cost the most careful farmers to raise it. It seemed absolutely impossible to do anything. The law would neither touch the trust nor the regie agents. They made prices to suit them- selves, and unless the farmer turned his farm into something else he must continue operating at a loss. There was little elee for him to do, for the labor of the country only knows tobacco. ° - * . > + s . The effect of improvement is noticeable in the dark tobacco belt since the fight against the trust was won. The financial stringency was not felt there. Everywhere prosperity is in evidence. Not only the farmer himself has benefited, but the cities and towns. Banks have increased in everv center. For instance, Robertson County, Tennessee, had only three banks three years ago. It now has nine. The schools have improved wonderfully and the children are now sent for full terms instead of for a few weeks. At Guth- rie. where five years ago there was but one school with a four months’ term, there is a graded system and a nine months’ tern. The in- crease in taxes is shown in better roads and other b improvements. ay hardly credible that In the dark to- bacco belt, the district where the. ight appears to have been won end where prosperity at present reigns, there should bave been the violence, the night riding, the burnings and beatings. But this is true. : And the reason is that slthough beaten for awhile, the American Tobacco Co. Is making every endeavor, pecretly or openly, to undermine the association. The same tactics are in the dark belt}as in the light,

their own account. There was a well-defined at- tempt to assassinate Mr. Ewing last summer, while other association members have been threatened and in some cases attacked. In Woe ford County, of the light belt, formal wrt notices signed “Tenants” have been sent to lords declaring that if they cut out the this year they will be dealt with as they It would be impossible to give an accurate mate of the damage by violence in Kentucky, no authentic figures are obtainable. By is estimated in all at $50,000,000, which ts festly out of all proportion—one-half of would seem large. There has been no actual to the farmer of the black belt, for what he have lost has been more fhan made up by crease in prices. The trust and the independent bayer has been so fortunate. The loss by the farmer of light belt is greater. He still has stored 60 000 pounds of the 1905 crop; 110,000,000 of the 1906, and his 1907 is coming In. : Z at af rt!

waiting to take their places, how- ever, and the men who pass away are forgotten speedily. They were busy and useful and well-known lo- caliy in their time, but they left no great, awe-compelling work to stand as their monument and perpeiusnte their fame through the years. They worked to satisfy the immediate wents of themselves, their family, their business undertakings or the municipal public. Without these men of one talent the world would perish, yet no individual among them shines cout conspicuously. Now anti then, however, in all large communities there appears some man of 10 talents, whose daily life is @ simple, inconspicuous thing, yet who, ir the gqtiet of his closet, thinks great thoughts, makes great scien- tific discoveries, writes great boos or makes some other rare and perma- nent contribution to human progress, that takes its place among the real t-easures of earth forever. Such men do not excite the wonder and admiration of their neighbors, for the neighbor sees only the ordinary anily life of the genius, and close rroximity to the great man throws his wonderful accomplishments out of focus and makes him seem small and insignificant. > \ \

- But abroad, in every city in the world, thinking men who ever are on the alert for the great new things, would esteem it a rare privilege to live next door to or in the same block with the man they know as the in- ventor of such and such a device, the author of such and such a book, the discoverer of such and such a natural law. And, after all, these in- conspicuous great men really are the best-known citizens of St. Louis and New York and Chicago and Lendon and Paris and”“every other city. The following list includes a num ber of the best-krown St. Louisans, ruany of whom, like the prophets of old, are “not without honor save in their own country.” The variety of the claims to fame of persons on this fet is amazing. It includes artists, authors, philosophers, scientists, col- lectors, poets and many others. Perhaps one uf the most striking il- lustrations of a man with interna- tional fame unknown locally is Dr. Denton J. Snider, the historian and ihilosopher. Dr. Snider’s name rare- I" appears in the columns of any St. Louis newspaper. He is not a society man nor does he belong to the “Big Cinch.’ His aidress is not given in the city di- iectory and not half a dozen persons in, the whole city know where he lives. Yet, if you should go to the great universities of Germany and sav that you are from St. Louis. probably the distinguished savant “ith whom you conversed would ex- claim: “Ah! then you know that xieat philosopher, Denton J. Snider!” Dr. Snider has written more than thirty large volumes, some of a his- ‘orical nature, others dealing with he most abstruse philosophy and netaphysics. He is the founder and sveator of a new school of philosophy, which many believe is a great step in advance of Hegel and destined to riark an epoch in human thought.

Fdwards of Victims, but Now He is Charged With Another Murder and He Won’t Go Free, Say the _ Authorities MAN with 14 notches on the butt of his A revolver, each notch being the record of a man shot, has been found in Tennessee. His name is David D. Edwards, and he is only 26 years old. He is now under arrest, charged with a murder, which, if he is telling the truth about the notches on his gun, was his fifteenth shooting. If the statement made by this young man is true he is the most remarkable illustration of that type of fiction character who keeps the record of his shootings by cutting the stock of his weapon with a pocketknife. Those who know him are inclined, however, to doubt his weird boast, much as the revolting story of Harry Or- chard was doubted by many persons. The ovin- ion has been expressed that voung Edwards is unbalanced and imagines things that never really happened. Public feeling is strong against the prisoner with the-notched pistol, however, and if the brutal murder with which he is now charged can be fastened on him, the authorities say he wi.l hang in all probability. Here is the story of the last murder charged against Edwards, which would entitle him, under his own state- en to cut the fifteenth notch in his revolver utt: J. W. Davis, a married man with a young wife and a 2-year-old baby, was superintendent for W. J. Oliver, who is building a tunnel under Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga, for the ¢@¢ ¢@ o@¢ @¢ ¢¢ ¢@¢ ee e@ ee e@ ee a under him aad devoted to his employer. It is said that Edwards, who was working under Mr. Davis, was in an ugly mood the day of the murder, and that he tried to start a row among the other workmen. For that reason, it is said, Mr. Davis ordered him off the works and he went away sullenly. The only witness to what happened at the Davis home that night is Mrs: Mary Davis, the widow, who heard everything that took place. “We had just come back from Mr. Chadwick's house,” she said, ‘‘a l‘ttle after 9, and had gone to bed. Someone knocked at the door. My hus- band got up and I heard someone say, “It’s Ed- wards.’ Mr. Davis opened the door a few inches and I heard Edwards say: ‘Do you want me to go to work tomorrow?’ Mr. Davis replied ‘Yes.’ “At this point my husband tried to shut the door. I suppose he must have seen Edwards draw a pistol. He almost had the door closed when Edwards sprang against it with all his force, pushing my husband back several feet. “Before Mr. Davis could recover his balance Edwards fired at him, the bullet hitting him in the hand. On receiving the first shot Mr. Davis sprang forward to stop Edwards and to get the pistol away from him, I suppose. But the man threw himself upon my husband, pressed the pistol against his stomach and fired twice. After being struck the last time Mr. Davis reeled and fell. Edwards made a dash for the door and fled in the darkness.” J. D. Chadwick, at whose home near by the Davises spent the evening, happened to be on his porch at the time. He heard the shot, a wom- an’s scream and then another shot. He hurried in the direction of the shooting and saw a man getting away. He found Mr. Davis dying on the bed and his wife Sending over him. “Edwards shot him,” she gasped between her sobs. Her husband died within half an hour. Chadwick aroused the neighborhood and armed men were soon seeking Edwards. But he escaped them in the darkness and made off in an endeavor to gain the border. They got him finally, and now he is in jail awaiting trial for murder. Few believe he will escape the hang- man’s noose. In all that feud-ridden country of Kentucky, Georgia and—dennessee there was never a man with such a career as Edwards. If he was not, at one time, at least, insane, as his few friends declare, then he was the most picturesque liar ever evolved in the South, which ts saying some- thing. At one time he coolly faced a jury that was trying him for murder and admitted that he had shot 14 men. His last killing before the death of Mr. Davis was little more than a year ago. He had quar- reled with a negro named Sam Brooks in the rail- way yards in Chattanooga and had killed the man. Just then there came a shocking murder on Lookout Mount#f—a pretty little girl, Lillie Turner, was murdered on its historic summit, and her body left in the thick shrubbery. Edward Turner was soon suspected of the crime. Edwards promptly came forward with the tale that he could track his man to his hiding place in Breathitt County, Kentucky. He told his story so well that Sheriff Shipp allowed him to go to the mountain fastnesses of Kentucky in the hope of getting Turner. But somebody else got him. Edwards returned of his own free will for his ‘ trial for the killing of Brooks, but there was no verdict and he was released on $2000 bail. He came to trial in October last again, when another mistrial resulted. He took the stand in his own behalf and it was then that the whole State of Tennessee heard for the first time that Edwards had shot 14 men, killing a goodly share of them. “Are you not afraid to go back to Kentucky?” asked Attorney-General Whittaker. “Oh, no; I’ve got as many notches in my gun as any other man,” laughed Edwards. “Had you ever killed a man before you killed Brooks?” “Indeed I had,” laughed Edwards. “Six or seven years ago I killed a superintendent of a mine for the Black Raven Coal Co., in Kentucky. But I didn’t do it until he had shot me three times. I was tried for that when I was still crippled and I got five years, which the Governor cut to four.” “Any more?” “Yes; in Breathitt County feuds and in railway strikes around Chicago I have shot 14 men alto- gether.”’ “How many did you kill?” “I don’t know. I suppose a lot of them died.

Every one of them deserved it.” “Do you mean that?” “Yes, and here’s my pistol to prove it.” Thereupon Edwards calmly took from his pock- et a well-worn pistol which had 14 notches cut in the stock as proof that his shots had been fired. As for the Brooks killing, he declared that it had been in self-defense, and so strong a case did he present that there were three mis- trials and his eventual release on bail. He was out on that charge when Mr. Davis was killed. The telephone and telegraph were called into use after the Davis killing. Armed guards were sta- tioned along the railways for miles and all the roads were patrolled. Then the bloodhounds were taken to Alton Park, the murdered man’s home, and from there started on the scent. Reports began to come in from people who had seen Ed- wards trying to get away along little-traveled roads. Gov. Patterson of Tennessee offered a $250 reward and Mr. Oliver a like amount. Sheriff Shipp made it $50 more. Edwards’ description was scattered broadcast over Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia: “Wanted, for the murder of J. W. Davis, who was superintendent for W. J. Oliver, on railroad construction work at Chattanooga, Tenn. “The murder was committed by a white man by the name of Dave Edwards, Friday night, March 20, 1908. ‘His description is as follows: “Age about 26 years; weight, 140 pounds; height, 5. feet 9 inches.

SHIPP, Shetift” They got their man in the mountaing Suite €04, 1181 Broadway, New York. Irish families that “squatted” on the rocks of Harlem in New York knew its value, and the Italians who live on the western slopes of the Palisades know it today. The Harlem goat is no more; civilization has swept it away; but on the Palisades many hundreds of goats roam at large, eating anything and everything, returning home at night to give up their rich pure milk— with which that of the cow cannot compare— for the benefit of the rosy-cheeked, healthy chil- dren of the large families of the villages. St. Louisans, too, are learning the value of the milch t “It is not only that the goat produces a rela- tively large quantity of milk, and exceptionally rich milk, but that this milk may be drunk prac- tically without any risk of tubercular infection,” says “Home Counties.’ “How much this means in the case of milk supplies for infants is obvious. Adults may be able to resist the onslaught of the tuberculi bacilli with which so large a proportion of cow’s milk is unfortunately charged. Infants, into whose diet large quantities of milk enter, can hardly hope to come off so well in the struggle.” The same author gives a portrait of a goat which gave half a ton of milk in one year. He quotes statistics furnished by the Secretary of the British Goat Society, showing that the daily average supply of milk from goats was nearly five gallons a week and there are many which yleld much more. | | George Fayette Thompson of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, says in one of the Depart- ment’s recent bulletins: “The goat is needed by the poor man who cannot afford to keep a cow, and by those people especially who live in the suburbs of the large cities, and who work in the mining districts.”’ Prof. Thompson quotes Peterson, a great Ger- man authority, as follows: “The possibility of procuring a goat is generally within the reach of the poorest families; the risk and the insurance premium are disproportionate- ly much less in the case of the goat; the goat utilizes its food better than the cow and gives considerably more milk in proportion to its body Dr. Demade, director of the sanitarium at Haelbert, Belgium, says: ‘“Goat’s milk, being wholesome and beyond suspicion, there is no need to sterilize it. It may be taken raw, still pal- pitating with those mysterious forces which con- stitute life, while cow’s milk, which needs to be boiled, sterilized—killed, in fact—is a congealed, defunct liquid.” So much for the quality and quantity of the milk. According to “Home Counties,” it has a disagreeable taste only when the billy goats are allowed to share the quarters of the nannies, for the bucks have an offensive odor, while the nan- nies have no smell at all. It is easy to keep goats. They need a certain amount of shelter, but do not actually require more space than a St. Bernard dog. Any house that is waterproof and light and sufficiently ventilated, will do for successful goat keeping. “The goat,” says “Home Counties,” “is an ac- A Group of American Milch Goats, weight; the goat is satisfied with litule feed, and with feed of any sort, which is to be had at much less cost.. By keeping two goats instead of a cow the family of the working man may be pro- vided with milk during the entire year by the proper regulation of the time of the birth of the kid. The goat gives a more wholesome milk than the cow, and the milk is richer in fats. commodating creature. Of course, if it is to be pastured it needs a large extent of field, for it does not graze soberly, like the cow, but restiessly browses and needs, therefore, in order to main- tain it In perfect health, a variety of herbage. But some of the finest goats live in the suburbs. “The, peculiarly extensive range of the dietary of the goat makes it a convenient animal to feed, “come da for very little comes amiss to it—from roots, greenstuff, hay, corn and mashes to horse chest- nuts, acorns, potatoes, leaves and fruit-tree prun- ings.

1876, two days before the arrival in Si. Louis of His Imperiai Majesty Dom Ped.o de Alcantara, Emperor of Brazil, old Chief Mce- Donough summoned Harrigan into his private bi bg | ATE on the afternoon of Monday, May 15, office. “I shall need you for special duty in connec- tion with Dom Pedro’s visit, Harrigan,” he said. “Extraordinary police precautions are to be taken, but with these assignments you will have noth- ing to do. Your work is ajong secret lines. of especial importance.” Harrigan saw that the old Chief labored under some excitement. “You are to proceed without further instruc- tions than those I shall now give you,” continued McDonough, “and you will have to act on your own initiative—upon information coming from the person to whom I am now about to send you.” Swift interest flashed into Harrigan’s eyes. -“yhat person,” said the Chief, a deep earnest- ness in his tone, “is Senhor Miguel de Zama of the Brazilian secret service. You know him already, Harrigan, under the name of Mr. Michael Dasseimer, one of the founders of the new Cote Brilliante Jockey Club in this city.” “The devil!” exclaimed Harrigan in frank sur- prise. “I’ve always looked upon Mr. Dassemer as a gentleman of independent fortune—a retired New Orleans fruit importer now interested in Western mine investments.” “It has been necessary for him to give some ‘such account of himself,” said old McDonough, “but now, under advices from Dom Pedro’s cham- berlain, Senhor da Conto Ferraz, Viscount of Bom- ompanies the Emperor, he has placed himself in confidential communication with us—for the purpose of additionally insuring the safety of the Emperor during his stay in St. , . ‘There has been a trusted agent of the lian Government placed in every large American city since the day Dom Pedro deter- nial, and Mr. Dassemer is that agent here. mined upon coming to the Philadelphia Centen- He oe himself in St. Louis a year ago under instructions.” “Looks like pretty careful work,’”’ commented Harrigan. _ Old McDonough nodded.

These newspa- per clippings record these various incidents, the sudden changing of announced plans, the juggle of theater boxes, the collision with the Emperor's carriage and the other things of which I have spoken—but the newspapers were kept in ig- porance of the significance underlying these in- cidents, the police alone knowing the truth. When His Majesty attended the opening cere- monies of your Centennial Exposition in Phila- delphia, Mr. Harrigan, on May 10, the same pre- cautions and the same secrecy were maintained.” Harrigan was listening intently to this recital. “And here, in one of your own St. Louis news- papers, under date of April 29, is a significant item.” resumed Mr. Dassemer. “It records the vain search made in this city for three mysteri- ous visitors, said to be Don Carlos, pretender to the throne of Spain; his friend, the Marquis de Montserrat, and his chief of cavalry, the Count Gelasco, whom your newspapers hoped to inter- view. But they were not found here, Mr. Har- rigan—and for an excellent reason. Instead of being Don Carlos and his attendants, they were the foiled Brazilian conspirators, who had plotted to assassinate His Majesty Dom Pedro in New York. They were in full flight southward, and they fastened from St. Louis immediately upon learni. g that they were objects of special in- terest But their identity has remained § un- known.” “T remember the incident,” said Harrigan. The other nodded, smiling a bit grimly while. “Then, from all these facts,” he said, “you must perceive that my imperial master, Dom Pedro, is anything but safe in your country, Mr. Harrigan. It now becomes our duty—yours and mine—working as one man and having no com- munication with. others interested in safeguard- ing the Emperor, to see that no harm comes to him in St. Louis.” Harrigan nodded. ice,” he said. “His Majesty, the Emperor,” spoke Mr. Das- semer, “will arrive in St. Louis the day after to- morrow—Wednesday— coming over. the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad. Tomorrow night, Mr. Har- rigan—the evening immediately preceding His Majesty’s arrival—I must ask you to meet me here again—and I shall then tell you precisely what we will have to do on the following morn- ing, at which time, unless the present plans of the waiting assassin are suddenly changed, his attempt upon the Emperor’s life is to be made.” “T shall be here without fail,”’ said Harrigun. This ended the first interview. Acting upon his own initiative, Harrigan went direct to the Western Union telegraph office and filed the following ‘rush’ message: “To the Senhor da Conto Ferraz, Viscount of Bom- Retiro. Accompanying His Majesty, Dom Pedro of Brazil, Cincinnati, O.: “If former\roval equerry to the Emperor, dis- eraced for swindling transactions, is in St. Louis, shall. we keep him under surveillance? “HARRIGAN, “Police Headquarters, Four Courts, St. Louis.” And one hour later Harrigan received the fol- lowing reply: “Harrigan, Police Headquarters, Four Courts, St. Louis: “Yes. His presence would mean danger. Com- municate with me in St. Louis. “BOM-RETIRO.” An expression of relief came into Harrigan’s face as he read this telegram. “Good!” he said. “There’s nothing like being sure.” The following night, when he kept his appoint- ment with Mr. Dassemer, Harrigan found his work well cut out for him. “IT am now thoroughly informed as to the de- tails of the plot,” said Dassemer. “The attempt on the Emperor’s life will be made while he is on his way from the Union Depot to the Lindell Hotel. One man only will have a hand in it— the disgraced equerry of whom I have already told you. I shall not lose sight of him from now until the moment of his arrest—and that moment will be so timed that there will be no question of his guilt. This is absolutely necessary in his case, because he is particularly dangerous and the proofs against him must be so strong that his swift punishment is made certain. Otherwise, Mr. Harrigan, our proper course would be to take him into custody—on suspicion—this very night.” Harrigan nodded his assent to this reasoning. “But the line of action which I have mapped out for tomorrow morning,” continued Dassemer, “is simple to a degree and absolutely sure of re- sults. I do not hesitate to confide to you, Mr. Harrigan, that I count upon its success for signal promotion in His Majesty’s service. It is my am- bition, as it is yours, to rise to the top of my pro- fession, and this will give me the opportunity of commending myself to the Emperor’s notice and favor in a way that might never again be possi- ble. You appreciate my feelings, of course?” “I do, certainly,” said Harrigan. “But I would suggest, Mr. Dassemer, that it will be wise not to take any unnecessary chances merely to effect a particularly dramatic capture. More than one good detective has come to grief in this way. A flashing smile of confident'resolution lit up the other’s handsome face. “Never fear!” he exclaimed. “I have the game too well in hand for that—and I have you work- ing with me, Mr. Harrigan, which insures me against a police blunder that might cause my own work to be ineffective. I am not in the least ap- prehensive, my dear sir!” He was silent for a moment, deeply thoughtful. “My plan is this, Mr. Harrigan—and I see no reason for keeping you in ignorance of the fact that it has been approved by His Majesty's cham- berlain, for whose approval I waited before en- lightening you as to its details,” he said finally, speaking with great deliberation. “I shall make our line of action very plain to you. “It will be necessary for you to accompany, on horseback, the party of His Majesty the Emperor, from the St. Louis Union Depot to elf Hotel. @ty the Emperor will ride in the first carriage. Yoo must keep just a few paces ahead of that ca , Mr. Harrigan—never for a mo- ment forgetting that this is vitally imperative. the “TIT am entirely at your serv- “It is my task—and the task is made easy by my intimate secret information of the assassin’s plans—to ascertain the station taken by this man along the line of march and to place myself where I can communicate with you before the Emperor’s carriage shall have come within range of the waiting assassin’s weapon—a pistol. “T ghall give you this signal, Mr. Harrigan, by casually stepping a pace or two in front’ of the line of spectators and stroking my beard. I must necessarily be in disguise, as the man whom I am to keep under surveillance knows me. You will recognize me, Mr. Harrigan, in an old man with white hair and whiskers, shabbily dressed in gray clothing’ and somewhat bent and in- firm. “You must have a sure understanding with the driver of the Emperor’s carriage by means of which, at a signal from you, that carriage will be instantly. stopped the moment you receive my sig- nal. Otherwise His Majesty will be brought within range of the assassin’s weapon and the at- tempt on his life will be made. “With the stopping of the Emperor's carriage, you and your police detail must move forward without check—not excitedly, yet hastily. The man waiting to assassinate His Majesty, Dom Pedro, will be found disguised as an Italian, peddling fruit from a handcart, and not further than 200 feet beyond where I give you the signal. I shall be there as soon as you—and the capture cf the assassin, preferably alive, must follow. “But take no chances, Mr. Harrigan. Kill him

if he makes the slightest suspicious move.” There was a moment's pause. Then Mr. Dassemer spoke again, a profound anxiety in his voice. “You clearly understand these instructions, do you not?” Harrigan nodded. “|! he said. Dassemer was studying his face with intense earnestness. The scrutiny seemed to satisfy him as to Harrigan’s full comprehension of the plan of action. An immense relief showed in his coun- tenance and he drew a deep breath. “Then, Mr. Harrigan,” he said, “I count upon you to act in this matter without varying a hair’s breadth from the line of procedure now agreed upon. The life of my imperial master, the Em- peror of Brazil, depends tomorrow upon our faithful service—yours and mine, Mr. Harrigan.” Harrigan’s grim face was itself a warrant of resolute duty. “I shall not fail the Emperor,” he said. And, alert and silent, he began his task of safeguarding Dom Pedro upon the arrival of the Emperor’s special train the next morning, which came across the Eads Bridge one hour and twenty-five minutes behind its scheduled time. The imperial party was the most distinguished that had ever visited St. Louis, not even ex- cepting that of the Prince of Wales, now Edward V.i of England, some sixteen years earlier. It was hurried through the Union Depot to the six carriages waiting outside in charge of Patrick Shevlin, engaged by the local reception com- mittee, who himself was to drive the Emperor’s carriage. Dom Pedro made a striking figure before the eyes of the onlooking crowds—seemingly far old- er than his 51 years, his hair and full beard snow-white, his rather portly figure clad in a black suit, a broad-brimmed white soft hat fre- quently lifted in response to friendly cheering, a satin-lined overcoat thrown over his arm and one hand holding a closed umbrella. The Emperor entered the first carriage, an open barouche, and seated himself on the front seat, facing the rear. Her Majesty the Empress The- resa Christina, and her maid-of-honor, Dona Josefina da Fonseca Costa, occupied the rear seat, facing the Emperor. The members of the imperial retinue were as- signed in order to the remaining five carriages. The party comprised the Emperor's chamberlain, Senhor L. P. da Conto Ferraz, Viscount of Bom- Retiro and Brazilian Councilor of State: the Empress’ gentleman-in-waiting, Senhor Joaquin Raymundo de Lamare, Vice-Admiral of the Bra- zilian Navy; the Bmperor’s gentleman-in-waiting, Senhor Pedro Antonio de Parva; the royal physi- cian, Dr. Jose de Sousa Fontes, surgeon-in-chief of the Brazilian Army; the Emperor’s private sec- retary, Dr. Louis Henning; the assistant treasurer of the household, Senhor Arturo Teixcera de Macedo, and five male and two female servants. During the swift progress of the imperial party through the Union Depot toward the carriages Waiting at the street exit, Harrigan made his do, Mr. Dassemer,” ~~ eee way to the side of the Viscount of Bom-Retiro, who, busily directing the initial movements of the Emperor’s retinue, stood somewhat apart from the others. “I am Detective Harrigan, sir,” he spoke quietly. The Brazilian nobleman glanced quickly and searchingly at the speaker, his resolute black eyes making a keen estimate of the man upon whom . they rested. “The person concerning whom you telegraphed me—he is in St. Louis?” he asked, abruptly. “He is here,” replied Harrigan. “He will at- tempt to assassinate the Emperor before His Majesty reaches the Lindell Hotel this morning.” Bom-Retiro’s face paled. “You are sure of this?” he asked. “I am sure,” said Harrigan. “Why has he not been taken into custody?’ “This will be done at the proper moment—and before the Emperor’s life is brought in peril.” “His Majesty’s route to the hotel—it has been changed?” “No change has been made. The sure punish- ment of the man who would assassinate the Em- peror depends upon the carrying out of the orig- inal plans.” At these words the Viscount of Bom-Retiro fixed his steady gaze upon Harrigan’s face. “You speak confidently, sir,’ he commented. “The information upon which you are acting must be singularly complete.” “It is, sir,” replied Harrigan. “And it is abso- ‘“‘The Life of My Im- perial Master De- pends Upon Our Faithful Service— Yours and Mine, Mr. Harrigan.’’ lutely reliable. There ts no possibility of a mis- carriage of our plans that shall endanger the Emperor’s life—nor can the would-be assassin escape.” “You have competently arranged to this end?” “Our line of action has been determined upon to the minutest detail. It is based upon intimate knowledge of the assassin’s own plans.” The Emperor’s Chamberlain stood silent for a time. His eves never left Harrigan’s face. Finally he spoke. “Mr. Harrigan,” he said, “the life of His Majesty Dom Pedro of Brazil is in your hands. If I consent that the Emperor shall pass through the streets of St. Louis as you now direct, it places you under a tremendous responsibility.” “I accept the responsibility,” replied Harri- gan. “And I shall discharge myself of it to your satisfaction—and to the Emperor's assured safety.” Two minutes later the line of carriages was in motion. The Emperor’s carriage led the way. The pro- cession moved east to Eleventh and Spruce streets. It turned north on Spruce. Thus headed, it went onward to Washington avenue. There a change of direction to the eastward was made. The Lindell Hotel stood on the northwest corner of Washington avenue and Sixth street, only five blocks distant. The streets were crdwded with spectators and the Emperor and his party were cheered almost continually. The venerable face of the royal visitor shone with gratification. He bowed repeatedly, lifting his soft white hat from his white hair. Harrigan, mounted, preceded the roval car- riage by a few paces. His grim face was hard set and impassive. His keen, gray-blue eyes swept every foot of the line of humanity stretched to his front. A cool and resolute alertness was in his bearing. The procession had passed the intersection of Ninth street. Suddenly a figure moved casually out from the throng. It was the figure of an old man. The hair and beard were as white as the Em- : wh. Perhe figure was clad in shabby gray clothes. It seemed bent and infirm with age. Harrigan recognized Dassemer. But gave no sign of recoxnition. was a mask. The stooped old man seemicd eagerly excited His face

—_—— ee ee eee — at the now immediate prospect of seeing royalty at close range. His black eyes, under their snowy brows, were gleaming, and his lips moved in agitated mutterings. As Harrigan came almost abreast of him the old man lifted his hand. And then he stroked his white beard. As he did so, Harrigan turned slightly in his saddle and lifted one finger—-swiftly. And Patrick Shevlin, driving the Emperor’s carriage, let his whip fall on the backs of his horses. As they plunged forward, he so changed their direction that they took an oblique course across the street and away from the figure of the bent old man in the gray clothes. Then there was a quick tightening of the lines in Shevlin’s hands, the horses’ heads were straightened and they were urged, still eastward, on Washington avenue at a smart but not unseemly pace. His Majesty Dom Pedro of Brazil, seeing noth- ing in this maneuver beyond the sudden neces- sity created by an aindue massing of the crowds on the north side of the street, sat undisturbed, bowing and smiling, his white head uncovered most of the time. The carriages containing his retinue followed at the brisker pace, their occupants in entire ig- norance of any underlying cause for this quick- ening of their progress toward the hotel. But there had been an accident meanwhile. At the moment that Patrick Shevlin’s horses, whip-flicked, plunged obliquely across Washing- > A -_———-~ o EE — ' . _ . Se eae ~ . a a _ i Rr ton avenne, Harrigan's own horse, evidently frightened, became unmarageable. It sprang for- ward, unhappily toward the line of spectators, rearing and pawing out wildly with its hoofs. And the white-haired old man standing just a pace or two in front of the general crowd, was struck and dashed violently to the street. The shoulder of Harrigan’s horse had come against him with crushing force. The old man lay sense- less. His head had struck the stone curb. Harrigan sprang from the saddle to his as- sistance. , As he did so Detective Badger moved quickly toward him from the throng. “I’m afraid this man is badly hurt, Badger,” said Harrigan. “I'll leave him in your charge. See that he’s attended to properly.” And then, under stress of duty, Harrigan re- mounted and, spurring his horse to a gallop, hastened to regain his place ahead of the car- riage of His Majesty Dom Pedro of Brazil. Less than two hundred feet from the scene of the accident he saw the faces of Detectives Desmond and Tucker confronting him from the street crowd. The sight of Desmond and Tucker at that point seemed to please Harrigan—a humorous smile came to his grim lips and the crease of the “Har- rigan wrinkle” disappeared from his nose. The Viscount of Bom-Retiro looked Harrigan up the moment the imperial party had entered the Lindell Hotel and been registered. His face was dark with anger. “Your assassin must have been warned—and made his escape, sir,” he spoke, sternly. “And now the peril to His Majesty the Emperor is greater than ever—you have lost track of the man who is here for the purpose of slaying him!” Harrigan faced the Brazilian nobleman steadily. “TI must beg of you to come with me, sir,” he made answer. “I shall at least put you in com- munication with your own agent—upon whose in- formation and under whose guidance I have gt are mad!” cried the other. But Harrigan, in reply, escorted him silently to a suite of rooms on the second floor of a house at the corner of Sixth and Pine streets—the bach- elor quarters of Mr. Michael Dassemer, member of the Cote Brilliante Jockey Club of St. Louis. Dassemer, his head bandaged, lay white and weak on a couch in bis sleeping apartment. De- tective Badger sat confronting him. Incredulous amazement, mingled with horror, sprang into the face of the Viscount of Bom-Re- tiro as be saw that of the man with the bandaged
