MANY FAVOR PROJECT Devoy Says Merchants’ Ex- change Could Raise $3500 in Short Time. ey SHIP NOW WITH FLEET Business Men’s League Secre- tary Says Orchestrion Would Be Best Present. r | Edward Devoy, president of the Mer- chants’ Exchange; President Smith of the Business Men's League; Charles Huttig, David R. Francis and other well-known St. Loulsans' expressed themselves to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday in favor of a movement to raise a fund of at least $3500 for the pur- chase of a gift for the United States cruiser, St. Louis, now with the battle- ship fleet at Los Angeleles, Cal. Secretary Saunders of the Business Men's League suggests an orchestrion for a gift, as he says the cruiser has no band. Don’t Want a Silwer Set. “The suggestion has been made,’’ said Mr. Saunders, ‘‘that we choose a silver service, but we are told it would never be seen by the crew and the officers say they could not use it more than a few times a year. “When Mr. Francis and other St. Louisans visited the St. Louis about a year ago Commander Usher, who is a former Missourian, said he regretted that the people of St. Louis had not re- membered the great vessel bearing her name. . “The Business Men’s League is anx- jous to see this matter started and we are giad the Post-Dispatch is giving it attention.” Devoy Favors Plan. Mr. Devoy said: “The Merchants’ Exchange is heartily in favor of the proposition. I am sure we can get $3500 together in a few days. “We ought to have the gift ready be- fere the fleet sails for the Philippines. “I know the members of the Mer-| chants’ Exchange will be glad to push the project along.” Charles H. Huttig said: “Mrs. Huttig and myself were present at the christening of the St. Louis at Philadelphia three years ago. “There was some discussion of the plan of a gift at that time, but nothing Was done. Now that the St. Louis has participated in the great voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific, I think we @eught to renew our efforts to make a substantial presentation.”’ Commendable, Says Francis. David R. Francis said: * “The idea is a most commendable one. The fact that St. Louis has not remem- bered the cruiser named after her is we to public negligence. “T believe the matter ought to be niet? tated atrongly without further wegen 3 * DANNY WINTER WILLBE ~~ DROPPED FOR HIS CRIMES BY THE SPRING COMBINE Warmer Weather and Sunny Skies Will Put Pneumonia Promoter Out of Business. oo or tery ep~eny a 68 Me m.......57 6 a, ere 7 Mm.

Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 21.—If this city wants to run after Prince Helie de Sa- gan and pay no attention to a special train load of business and professional men from one of the livest cities in the Southwest, the 113 Tulsa boomers are not going to let it hurt their feelings. It just enables them to size up New York, that’s ajll. Their impression is that, except for mere bigness, New York is pretty small potatoes— too small for the Oklahoma mar- ket. If it hadn’t been for Gov. Hughes, who happened to be here from Al- bany, the Tulsa delegation would have gone unwel- comed. He learned that Mayor McClellan had paid no at- tention to them, and when they rallied on him, he gave them the freedom of the city. From the sweeping tone of his remarks, some of them”concluded that he would not mind if they e-en went to Aqueduct track and saw the ponies run. So those who like dthat sort of thing went.

Just as a matter of form, they sent } a request to Mayor McClellan for a permit to hold the parade. They did not even get an answer. That was enough, and they decided not to give any New York policeman a chance to weave future romances about his victo- rious encounter with a band of cow- boys on Broadway.

BLOODHOUNDS TO CHASE NEGRO JACKSON, Miss., April 21.—Respond- ing to a request from the Sheriff of Clayborne County, Gov. Noel this aft- ernoon ordered a pack of bloodhounds sent from the Rankin convict farm to Port Gibson, to be used in chasing a negro who killed Branch Archer, a prominent planter, this morning.

Head of United Railways Frets Uneasily, Then Is Not Called. LEAVES ROOM IN A RAGE ———— Attorney Prosecuting Damage Suit Blandly Says He Does Not Need Magnate. There was fire in the eye of John I. Beggs Tuesday morning when, after a day and a half of fidgety and i nwill- ing attendance in Judge Kinsey's court, he was blandly informed by the attorney prosecuting his company that his testimony would not be needed at all. The suit is cne for $25,000 which Wil- liam Blankston demands for injuries received August 30, when he was thrown from an Olive street car at Twenty-first street and fell under the wheels, suf- fering the loss of a leg. Three additional subpenas were served on Mr. Beggs by Lawrence Kierman, a process server, as the traction magnate was leaving Judge Kinsey's courtroom. This time Mr. Beggs is desired as a wit- ness in the cases of Edna Lee Monroe, Mrs. Lizzie Jerome and Ulysses Monroe, who have filed damage sults against the United Railways Co. Was Swearing When Attacked. Because of the plaintiff's own testi- mony that he was swearing on the front platform when the crew attacked him, Judge Kinsey ruled he had no claim to punitive damages. It was in this connection that Attor- ney George Safford for the plaintiff wanted Col. Beggs to testify. Upon hearing the Court's ruling, Safford, not wholly -able to conceal a grin, an- nounced: “In that case, I don’t think we will need Col. aby, longer, and. he is at Mberty to depart.” John I. Beggs was @ common witness, summoned on a common subpena just like anybody else. About two hours of the first five of his first day of waiting until Attorney George Safford made ready to hear his testimony, was consumed by the Milwaukee president of St. Louis in fre- quent references to a memorandum book, containing columns and columns of figures. Occasionally he would make a notation with a pencil. U. R. C. Losing $137 a Day. Court attaches, after watching him for a considerable time, finally got to work with pencil and paper. They figured the United Railways lost about $137 worth of President John I. Beggs’etime while he was in the courtroom the first day. Saffford insisted on Beggs remaining in the courtroom until he should get ready to ask him if the United Railways has enough money in the strong box to pay a $25,000 judgment, in case one is rendered. . Safford, when asked when put Beggs on the stand, said: ‘‘Whenever I get good and ready. If the United Railways can’t admit a few facts about its financial condition which everybudy knows, then Mr. Beggs can sit here until I get ready for him.” When Judge Kinsey suggested to Saf- ford that he place Beggs on the stand Safford objected, insisting upon his rigiht to introduce his witnesses in the order he saw fit. Lawyer and Judge in Tilt. “It is the province of the attorney,” said Safford, ‘“‘to put in his testimony in his own way.” “Not always,’ retorted Judge Kinsey. “The Court has something to say about that. If you are simply refusing to put him on the stand for the purpose of holding him here, harassing him and causing him inconvenience, I shall not he would permit it.” Safford denied any such purpose, ex- plaining the evidence he hoped to get from Beggs, and explaining he had not reached the point in his case where such testimony was proper. ee ee ~ em acerca nacre Night Edition With | nena : z : ’ |the Sporting Extras features. game. 1 Dispatch.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. OTTAWA, Kan., Apri] 21.—The trial of Frank Schneck, charged with .the murder of his wife and two children, was resumed in the Circuit Court this morning. Frank Hodges today testified to hav- ing met on the Centropolis road about 3 a. mn. the day of the murder a rig occu- pled by persons, one of whom he be- lieved was Frank Schneck. Mrs. W. F. Englebright lived about half a block west of the Schneck home. At midnight, Feb. 3, she saw a lighc in the west bedroom window of the Schneck home. She saw a man at the window, bending forward. ‘I felt cer- tain that it was Frank Schneck,”’ said the witness. State Closes Its Case. The State rested at 105, asking leave to submit the whisky bottle found on the Centropolis road by Wilson, the copy book in which the alleged suicide note was written and which the State had shown was written after the murders oc- curred, and the small case knife found under Jane Schneck’s body. John Wilson, a mail carrier between Ottawa and Centropolis, testified late Monday that on the day the bodies of Mrs. Schneck and the children were found he saw the tracks of a single rig in the snow as he was driving from Centropolis. A liftre further on his horses shied at a spot in the snow. Bloodstains in Snow. For a space of three feet, he said, it looked as though blood-stained hands had been washed there. He also saw tracks of overshoes near by, and a quart whisky bottle. On cross-examination, the brought out that rabbit hunting is com- mon in that section in winter, and that hunters sometimes draw their game as soon as it is killed and wash it in the snow The State introduced copies of letters said to have been written by Schneck to his co-defendant, Mrs. Mollie Stewart. Mrs. Stewart was questioned regarding these letters, and, on advice of counsel, stood on her rights and refused to an- ts tag questions which might incriminate 1er defense Refers te Overshoes. In one of his ietters to Mrs. Stewart Schneck tells of a visit of his relatives to his cell. He closes by saying: ‘““They took a look at my overshoes, but didn't say anything.

STRAW HAT ON PARK VON WEDELSTAEDT| It’s Large Only by Comparison With Season’s Extreme “Merry Widower” Style. | Straw hats are ripe. R. Park von Wedelstaedt, clubman and Beau Brummel, is out with the first one of the season. It is as near the merry widower style as any St. Louisan may hope to get this season unless he has one made to order or borrows Mamie’s. The creation worn by Mr. von Wedel- staedt has a brirn 24% inches wide. Twice 2% inches, plus the lateral thickness of the wearers head, shows the width of the hat, which is much smaller than those which the girls are wearing. Fashion has decreed small hats for men this year. Mr. von Wedelstaedt’'s seems large only by comparison with some of the others shown in hatters’ windows. “Yes, I'm wearing the first ‘katy’ of the season, but what of it?’ said Mr. von Wedelstaedt. ‘I think a man is fool- ish to go around with a heavy top piece on when the weather is warm. Why wait until the first of May? The hats are on sale and the sun is hot these bright afternoons. “Why be foolishly conservative and suffer, when you can be radical and fee! good? “No, I wouldn't call my hat a merry widower. It is the largest of the smal! sizes on saje this year. There are lots more jpst like it in the stores, and mine won't look queer when everybody else gets in line. “I prefer a reasonably wide brim be- cause it keeps the sun out of my eyes. The new hat feels so good that I won't put it off for anything short of a frost.” BRYAN’S LITTLE GRANDSON, MISSING FROM LINER, GIVES EVERYBODY A BAD SCARE Crowd at Pier Applauds When Mother Finally Finds Him Hid- ing Under:a Berth. NEW YORK, April 21.—William J. Bryan's grandson, little Bryan Leavitt, gave the Democratic leader a bad scare today. Mr. Bryan had gone to the pier to meet the steamer Minnehaha, upon which Mrs. Bryan, her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Leavitt, and Mrs. Leavitt's two children were returning from Eu- rope. When the steamer swung in at the pier Mr. Bryan was one of the first on board. He found Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Leavitt awaiting him on the upper deck. His granddaughter, Ruth, also Was there, but littl Bryan was no- where to be seen. A search, which ex- tended over the ship, from one end to the other, Was not successful. Finally his mother found him where he had hidden under a berth in his mother’s ‘stateroom. When he was drawn out of his hiding place little Bryan threw himself into his grand- father’s arms, and the big crowd which had gathered on the deck watched the meeting with enthusiastic appreciation. legttimate PAID circulations ST.

The distinguished chances with the many elaborate dishes for which American chefs are famous. Just plain food will do for him. Dr. Koch is one of the most noted of living scientists. He discovered the tu- berculosis and cholera germs, devised effective methods for the treatment of those diseases and under a special com- mission from the German Government he recently investigated the “sleeping sickness’’ in Africa. Many Banquets Given Up. On their arrival in St. Louis he and his wife drove at once to the Jefferson Hotel, where they will stop while here. Dr. E. C. Goodwin announced Tues- day that all plans for banquets in Dr. Koch's honor have been abandoned. The Medical Society, the Anti-Tuberculosis League and several minor organizations had intended to give him a taste of St. Louis hospitality, but he notified them he would run away if they tried to get him as a banquet guest. Many private dinners and luncheons also were planned. These, too, will be abandoned. Refuses an Interview. As Dr. Koch was leaving the break- fast table at the Hotel Jefferson by a side door, and was making a hurrried dash for the elevator, he was intercept- ed by a Post-Dispatch reporter with a question. “An interview'’’ the scientist ex- claimed. “Oh, my, no. I'm busy. i! can't say anything for publication.’ He entered an elevator quickly and disappeared. A brether, who refused to give his first name, said Dr. Koch had been ‘driven to distractien’ by public attention since reaching the Unit- ed States. The brother said that, if there was any demonstration in Dr. Koch's honor, or any effort to disturb the rest he is seeking here, he will at once pack his grips and leave St. Louis. If he is let alone, the brother says, he may stay a day. They are on a tour of the world. From St. Louis they will go to San Francisco where they will embark for a voyage across the Pacific. Before returning to their home in Ger- many they will visit many cities in Ja- pan, China and India.

He seemed dispirited. “Did you receive $500, or any other sum of money froin Henry Ascher on the night of Oct. 19, or any other night, in consideration for your assistance in passing his garage ordinance?” he was asked by counsel for the defense. “Positively no,’ replied the delegate, without energy. ‘Did you pase any Daniel Naughton on “Ne. of money to nieht?” suin that Doesn't Remember.

The appearance of Naughton at this fime also opens un the way for the de- fense to introduce him to tell from whom he obtained the money which he took to Sam Weisman for safe keeping the day following the bribery. Ascher was the first witness Tuesday. His testimony was the same as at the first trial. He told of his visits to War- ner in the interest of his garage bill, and of the plan to entrap Warner and Pries- meyer by paying them money to insure the passage of the bill, and of the pay- ment of $500 to Priesmeyer after Warner hal petnted Priesmeyer out to Ascher.

NONUNIONIST, ATTACKED BY STRIKERS, JAILS ONE BY RUSE Obtains Card of Assailant, Saying He Will Join Union—Gives Police the Name. Fred L. Musick, whotook the route driven for years by John P. Maloney when the latter went on a strike with 20 teamsters of the St. Louis Express Co., related in the City Hall Police Court how he had the presence of mind, while being thrashed as a non- union man by Maloney and three friends, to plan and execute a ruse by which he learned Maloney’s identity and address and made it possible to have him arrested and prosecuted. Musick was driving on Watson road near Scanion avenue Saturday after- noon, he testified, when Maloney, then a stranger to him, and three compan- ions, waylaid him, dragged him frém the wagon, tied his hands behind him with a cord and beat him. Maloney gat on hig head, he testified, while his hands were being tied. “If you'll let me go I'll join the union,” pleaded Musick. “Sure,” he said Maloney answered, “‘and take this card of mine when you apply for membership.’ ” Musick went to the nearest tele- phone, called up the police and read- ing from the card, told them one of his assailants was John F. Maloney of 682A South Seventh street. Maloney was arrested on his return home. He deciined to say anything in his own defense, and was fined $100. He appealed. DR. DIETZ LOSES SUIT FOR TREATING DR, L. H. M’GABE Bill for $10,774 Was Disputed on Ground That Visits Were Social. Tyr. Adolphus Dietz of 1326 South Broadway will not get $10,774 from the estate of Dr. Louis L. McCabe for vis- iting Dr. McCabe when he was sick. His suit for that amount against John H. Parrish, . administrator, was decided against him by a jury in Judge Rule’s court Tuesday. Dr. Dietz’s bill was for $11,330, but credits to the amount of $556 were de- ducted and he sued for the balance. The services were alleged to have been per- formed while Dr, .luCabe was a patient at Mullanphy Hospital from Sept. 18, 1898, to April 16, 1901.. For some visits he charged $5 and some $30. The defense was that the calls of Dr. Dietz were social and not professional. The claim was first disallowed in the Probate Court. Albert L. Perkins Bankrupt. Albert L. Perkins of 4410 Washing- ton boulevard filed a petition in bank- ruptey Tuesday in the United States District Court. He listed his assets at $14,057 and his liabilities at $29,- 725.

April 21.—In a remarkable article on alleged improprieties, even corruption, in the German diplomatic societies, the Deutsche Revue, a/ politi- cal weekly, takes occasion to say: “Mr. Tower’s purse permitted him to have the Kaiser frequently as a guest, and to summon at his own expense from all thé ends of the earth persons to meet the Kaiser, whom His Majesty found interesting. : “There was also no particular harm in the fairylike apartments of Mr. Tower's residence becoming a species of marriage bureau, where ducal crowns and American dollars met; for by~ this means the Ambassador learned much that went on in countries where the ducal crowns were at home which he could use to political advantage.” ie ae é oe ted ; iw .

Miss Alma Speckard’s Sister Here Learns of Desire to See Her. WORD SENT TO FATHER ————— Estrangement From Him End- ed by News of Long Lost Young Woman. A family reunion will follow the pub- lication of an item in the Sunday Post- Dispatch in which Miss Alma Speckard, now of 754 Eighth avenue, New York, asked the readers ofthis paper to help her find her father, George C. Speck- ard, formerly of 2615 Gravols avenue, whom she has not seen for eight years. While reading the newspaper Sunday morning, James Lamont, husband of Mrs. Emma Lamont of 2940 Lucas ave- nue, startied his wife by inquiring: “Dicn't you have a sister by the name” of Alma? Mrs. Lamont replied in the affirma- tive, but became provoked, thinking her husband was jesting when he read the item. She was greatly surprised when she learned the truth. Miss Alma Speck- ard is a long-lost sister of Mrs. Lamont. Lost Trace of Sister. “Through an illness which deprived me of my sight for a year,” Mrs. Lamont told a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘I lost trace of my sister Alma, and despaired of hearing from her or seeing her again. When I saw the item in the Post-Dis- patch that she was seeking our father, George C. Speckard, who now lives at 5346 Odell avenue, I was overjoyed. “The Post-Dispatch has done us 2 wonderful service. My father and I have been estranged through a trifling matter for many years, but this incident led me to write to my father, calling his attention to Alma’s request. I think it is likely Alma intends to come here to visit us, and we will have a fam- ily reunion. “Alma, a 15-year-old brother; who lives with father, and myself, are the only children in the family.”’ Mrs. Lamont will also ‘communicate with Miss Speckard and renew the old acquaintance of their girlhood days. POST-DISPATCH FINDS MOTHER OF A CAPTIVE Charles Ross, Now in Mexican Prison, to Be Aided as a Result of Article. Last Sunday the Post-Dispatch pub- lished a letter hich it had received from a St. Louis man, Charles Ross, written in a Mexican prison, requesting this paper to find his mother, Mrs. A. J Ross. His mother, Mrs. A. J. Ross of 1920 Salisbury street, read the letter and call- ed for and got a letter which had been enclosed to her in the communication from Mexico. In his letter Ross told his mother that while in a cafe in Vera Cruz he had got into an altercation with an English sailor, and that when the police inter- fered they could not make themselves understood, with the result that Ross and the sailor were locked up after a scuffie, during which the Mexican po- liceman used his club to such effect that Koss spent eight days in a hospital. Mrs. Ross said she had not seen her gon for three years. He had gone West to prospect for gold, and had wandered through Southern California and into Mexico. ; In his letter Ross said he had been de- prived of everything and was without writing paper or the most ordinary com- forts, and feared that he would be ‘‘rail- roaded’ to prison for eight months un- less he could be helped. His address was given as the Carcel Publica, or Public Jail, in Vera Crus. Mrs. Ross will ask the aid of Miguel . Diebold, Mexican Consul, in sending ancial relief to her son.

DOWNED BY FIREWATER Meant to Follow White Men’s Road, Finds It a Rock- and-Rye Pathway.

The morning mists hung about the crests of the deep canyon at Ninth and Chestnut streets Tuesday, and every- thing was hazy and uncertain before the eyes of Big Chief, the Blackfoot warrior, as he stumbled along the trail beneath a burden of Market street fire- water. Big Chief was full of spirits, both frumenti and of the soul. He had gone upon the warpath. Before his vision }-hung a blood-red mist. It was the flame of war. He knew he was in the land of his foes. He saw them everywhere. Strange figures, always in pairs ident- ically alike. Even the white men’s ponies he saw double. He was in a strange land of twins. It marvelled him. Big Chief was weary, for the night in the canyon of Market street had been one of sturdy fighting. His en- emy was Chief Booze, who had made him bite the asphalt more than once. But again the spirit of war was strong within him. Chases “Buffalo Men.” He was surronuded by his enemies, who jeered him, and the hot blood rose to his head. Waving his arms he challenged them, but the more he urged them to come and taste his steel the louder’ they laughed. Suddenly he saw in the crowd two “buffalo men,’”’ known in the big white men’s reservation as negroes. In his youth he had fought the “buf- falo soldiers’’ on his native plains, in Wyoming and Montana, and he hated them with all the bitterness of a Black- font. . Reaching out his brawn arm, he seized them, bumped their heads togeth- er and threw them contemptuously from him to the ground. But from the crowd there emerged a warrior worthy of his prowess, One clad in blue, a chief with a star of silver on his breast. Blue Warriors Appear. “Hah! Here’s where I spill warrior blood!’ sheuted Big Chief, clasping the warrior, who was none other than Pa- trolman Lane, around the neck and try- ing to throw him. At that moment another chief of the silver star dashed through the jeering crowd, accompanied by three fighters of fire end firewater from Engine House No. 6. Big Chief sent up a cry to the Mani- tou and tackled them all. The battle was of short duration, for the white men plied their war clubs so} swiftly and rkilifully that Big Chief's | head soon resembled a pudding. The white chiefs had got his scalp, and took it to the city Dispensary, with him attached to it, and it was sewed up. Held for Chief: Tracy. Big Chief was then locked up in the big stone house of the white men, a captive for the torture of the great White Chief Tracy, who sits on a cloud of thunder and shoots the lightning of justice at wrongdoers. Big Chief bore in his warbag a let- ter from the Government to the effect that he is a Blackfoot, and that his English name is Charles Randall, fur- thermore, that he is crane for work, being desirous of ‘‘traveling white man’s road.” Poor Lo Big Chief found the road so rocky Monday morning that he ex- pressed a wish to return to the gold- en prairies of the West, where the ground is softer. MOTORMAN SAVES KING ALFONSO’S LIFE; GETS $16 MADRID, April 21.—It was worth $10 for a trolley motorman to save the life of King Alfonso yesterday. Incidental- ly, the motorman got a big bunch of royal thanks. Alfonso, with Prince Leopold of Bat- tenburg and the Infanta Prince Al- fonso of Orleans, was speeding his au- tomobile to the Circo Parish, when, in a sudden dash around a corner, the ma- chine ran straight for a street car. The motorman‘’s quick work saved a dis- aster. King Alfonso passed out a pro- fusion of thanks and followed it with a gift of 50 pesetas, or $10 in American money.

LEAGUE HAS HIGH IDEAS Seeks to Elevate Tone of Work Done and to Inter- est City.

The Woman's Art League of St. Louis will hold its exhibition at the Artists’ Guild, Von Versen and Un- jon avenues, April 23, 24 and 25. The members of the league will give a re- ception to their friends Thusrday even- first public ing from & to 10 o’clock., The League was organized less than @ year ago by Mrs. H. C. Irish, the pres- ident, and now has a membership of thirty of the leading women artists of the city. League to Advance Art. The object of the League is to provide a place for mutual intercourse among the women artists of St. Louis, to ex- tend a helpful influence toward the growth of truth, beauty and spirituality in art, and to hold exhibitions repre- senting the best work done by women in painting, sculpture and crafts. The exhibition will. contain paintings in all mediums, resigns, ceramic decora- .tion, pottery, sculpture and crafts. “There are many women in St. Leuis who do excellent work,”’ said Mrs, Ir- ish. ‘““There are about six girls to one boy in the art school, and while in the school the girls compete with the boys, after they leave the school they seem to lose interest in their work, because few of them enter the exhibitions. “We have organized the League to establish a place of exhibition, There is a siniilar organization in New York and the women of the New York Club are recognized as among the _ strongest painters of America. Women as Capable as Men. “That women are capable of doing just as strong and interesting work as the men was shown in the recent West- ern Artist Exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts. Much of the strongest work in that exhibition was from the brushes of the women members. ‘We welcome all the women artists of the city who do good work. We have set a high standard, because we want only the best that there is in art. Many ef our members have studied abroad and a number have received ‘Hors Concours’ In the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. Many of our members have never exhi- bited their work before the public, but

Bryan at the Hoff- man House, uttered sentiments which surprised those who have been reading his editorials closely. He said: ‘Personally, I have no doubt Mr. Bryan will be nominated at Denver, and I think the Democrats have a good chance to elect him. The movement In the interest of Gov. Johnson comes too late and from the wrong quarter. “Tf the interests now urging his nomi- nation had backed me up when I advo- cated his candidacy 10 months ago he might have had a chance of the nomi- nation. But the Democrats of New York in the present chaotic condition cannot dictate to the majority of the party.’’ Col. Watterson said he looked to see Secretary Taft named by the Repub- licans.

WELLESLEY, Mass., April 21.—Ev- eritte St. John, for many years one of the most prominent railway officials of the country, died today at his home in Wellesley. He was born in 184, and was first-employed with the old Housa- tonic Railroad. In 1868 he began his con- nection with the Rock Island System, of which he became general manager.

He elected to go to Western Kansas, ‘Where he could let his energies develop With the country. He had thousands of Acres in Northwestern Kansas and he cut, cattle maimed and property rights invaded. ; After a period of bitter enmity, both sides went armed, and a conflict was inevitable. On a June morning in 1903, Chauncey Dewey, accompanied by W. J. McBride, Clyde Wilson and seven other ranchmen, went to the Berry ranch, near by, to get a water tank Dewey had purchased the day before at a sheriff's sale. Daniel Berry, father of the Berry boys, parleyed. While the argument was going on, the Berry boys, Alpheus, Burch, Roy and Beach, rode up. Three Berry Boys Slain. It never was made clear how the fight began, but what happened after that was a general engagement with rifles and revolvers. Daniel, Alpheus and Burch Berry were killed and Roy and Beach were badly wounded. Dewey and his friends returned to his ranch and waited for the Sheriff, who arrested them next day. They pleaded _ self-defense, alleging that the Berrys began the shooting, and refused to go with the Sheriff unless assured of vrotectiom from the enraged settlers. The Governor sent a company

bbjected and the feud with the Berry family resulted. When it ended three Berrys were dead and there were three charges of murder against Dewey and ' his men, all of which were dismissed by | the Supreme Court, after one case hag :s tried and a verdict or not guilty the ground of self-defense rendered. + Meanwhile Chauncey met Miss Mills- 3 paugh, the Bishop’s brunette daughter, * in Topeka.

Murder and Suicide in Wom- an’s Home End Promi- nent Career.

HOUSTwu.N, Tex., April 21.—Eugene C. Payne, a well-known real estate dealer and connected with several of the best families of Texas and Mississippi, shot and almost instantly killed Amelia Cox, a light colored negress, better known as Dot Lehmann and Dot Dennis, about midnight last night and then turned the weapon upon himself, sending two bul- lets through his own brain, dying imme- diately. The shooting occurred in the woman's home at 2214 Franklin avenue. No one saw the shooting, but others in the house declare they heard the woman cry: “Oh, Mr. Payne, don't kill me,’ and then came the shots. Judging from the empty cartridges found on the floor Payne evidently emp- tied the revolver at the woman and then reloaded to end his own life. Payne was a widower and leaves sur- viving him, so far as known, but one son, living in Mississippi. TAFT WORKERS TRY. 10 WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE DELEGATION Demand That Resolution Preferring Him Be Embodied in the Platform. CONCORD, N. H., April 21.—The Taft men went into the Republican State Conventien today, determined to better the performance of their co-workers in Massachusetts by several points. Early the probabilities of a fight on the con- vention floor seemed probable. At a midnight session the Taftites framed their resolution and then demanded its incorporation in the platform. Here is the resolution in its original form: ‘‘Resolved, That while we are in fa- vor of sending an uninstructed delega- tion to Chicago, it is our earnest be- lief that the man for the time, above all others, embodying every element of a triumphant candidate and a success- ful administration, is the sion. W. H. Taft of Ohio.” The fight over this measure was still being waged in the Committee on Res- olutions this morning. The regular organization, which has a decided majority in this committee, is opposed to preferential resolutions of any kind, and it seemed likely before the convention convened that the fight would be carried to the floor of the convention. r The Taft League has issued a state- ment that a poll of 550 of the 1131 dele- gates showed 450 for Taft, 32 for Hughes, 15 for Roosevelt, 3 for Cannon and 1 each fer Knox and Cortelyou. TWIN SISTERS: ELOPE; FORGIVEN special to the Post-Dispatch. WINSTED, vonn., April Ethel Dillon, twin sisters, of Manches- ter, introduced themselves to their par- ents yesterday as Mrs. Edward Warner and Mrs. Emil Hicking, respectively. After they had shown their marriage certificates they were forgiven. Instead of attending a theatrical performance in Hartford on Good Friday, as they told their parents they intended doing, the sisters went with Warner and Hicking to Springfield and were married.

HELD AT CITY HOSPITAL Mrs. Mamie Hartzell, Fashionably Attired, Found Wandering on the Streets. Mrs. Mamie Hartzell of Cape Girar- deau, Mo., a fashionably dressed woman found wandering hatless about the streets in the vicinity of Sarah and Olive streets at 5 a. m. Tuesday by Po- liceman Quinlivan, is held for obser- vation at the City Hospital. At a boarding house, 3932 West Belle place, which Mrs. Hartzell gave as her address, it was stated Tuesday she came there a week ago with her husband. She has been suffering from nervous- ness, it was stated, and has been under the care of a physician. She was heard to leave the house at ¢ a. m. Tuesday.

HB Century Theater was the scene = of much enthusiasm last night, the occasion being the annual benefit of Treasurer ‘“‘Billy’’ Cave and Assistant Treasurer Charles Nall, with Miss Lillian Russell in ‘‘Wildfire’’ as the attraction. The racing comedy f{n which she appears this season is a brightly entertaining play, the star has lost none of the beauty for which she has long been famous and, in addition, she is de- veloping a gift for straight comedy which is full of promise for her future. In the role of the fascinating widow, Mrs. Henrietta Barrington, who has in- herited a racing stable and who becomes a turf figure under an assumed name, Miss Russell does very clever work in- deed and makes a distinctly favorable impression. Excellent character work was done by Herbert Corthell, as Matt Donovan, trainer of the young widow's great horse, Wildfire, and by Will Ar- cole, as a diminutive stable boy, and the work of the company as a whole is much above the average. : MANTELL IN “KING LEAR.” One of the most notable triumphs scored by Mr. Mantell during his St. Louis engagement last season was in* “King Lear,’’ and this triumph was re- peated at the Olympic Jast night, when an admirable production ot Shakspeuare’s majestic tragedy was given. Mr. Man- tell presents a masterly portrayal of the role of the mad old King of Britain, hurried to his piteous fate by the cruelty of his daughters, the part being one of the best in all his repertoire. He was most capably supported last night, espe- Clally by Miss Marie Booth Russell as Goneril, Mr. Guy Lindsley as the Foo Mr. Francis MeGinn as Edgar, Mr. Cooper Cliffe as Edmund and Mr. Gor- don Burby as Kent. Bulwer-Lytton's fine old play, ‘‘Riche- lieu,”’ is tonight's bill, for the benefit of Assistant Treasurer “Dick” Ritchie and Doorkeeper Streeper of the Olympic. AMPHION CLUB CONCERT. The Amphion Club’s season was Drought to its close at the Odeon las: night with one of the most successful and memorable concerts of the year. The soloists were Mme. Teresa Carreno, pianist, and Alois Burgstaller, Wag- nerian tenor, both of whom distin- guished themselves by excellent achieve- tective Association. i,

The disputed triangle in Cabanne, bounded by Etzel, Jullan, Clara and Blackstone avenues, may become a pub- lic park instead of a beer garden or an “Old English Inn,” if the plan sug-. gested by Delegate Dwight F. Davis is carried out. ‘ Mr. Davis was present at a meeting Monday evening of the Rose Hill Pro- which sprang into proposed summer tective Association, being to fight the garden. His suggestion was received with fa- vor. In order to condemn the land an ordinance authorizing it must be intro- duced, and both Mr. Davis and Dele- gate Vincent McShane, also in attend- ance, expressed readiness to do this. ‘That's a beautiful residence district,” Mr. Davis told a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday, ‘“‘and it deserves a little park, such as Kendrick Park, at Lindell boule- vard and Vandeventer avenue. ‘It ought to have a park, without regard to the summer garden question. Just what steps will be taken has not been determined yet.”’ The irregular plot of ground in ques- tion is said tu pe the onlv unrestricted block in Cabanne, and the purchasers, who propose to build a summer garden there, say there is no way to prevent the issuance of a license. , But a committee headed by Attorney John P. Leahy has obtained a promise from Excise Commissioner Mulvihill that he will hear a remonstrance before granting the license. SHURTLEFF SOPHOMORES ARE TIED TO TREES BY FRESHMEN

‘Alton School ‘Scene of Class War, Which Keeps Several From Attending Banquet. Lester Landon, Chester Slifer and Ed- ward Benden, sophomores of Shurtleff College, Upper Alton, spent Monday evening on the college lawn tied to trees, while the rest of the sophomores were banqueting at the home of Prof. E. G. Ray. They were seized by groups of fresh- men as they were entering the yard and were torn from the girls they were escorting and borne away and bound with ropes to the trees. Ralph Jackson was also séized, but he was a match for the freshmen, who tried to carry him away. He threw them off and escaped into the house Wher the sophomores iearne’d what was’ going on they sallied forth and captured Raymond Carr, one of the freshmen. He was carried inside, his coat was removed and he was bound to a chair, which was placed at the ban- quet table, but he wae aot given uny- thing to eat. The sophomores were so greatly out- numbered by the freshmen that they were not able to rescue their classmates. After the banquet was over the fresh- men released their captives.

Until the Wells Building, owned by Mayor Wells, at Broadway and Olive street, was torn down, he had offices there and his contract with the Union Electric Light and Power Co. had a year to run when he was forced to move or be demolished along with the build- ing. He thinks he might have done better had he stayed and thrown himself on the mercy of the wreckers. “When I went to the lighting com- pany and told them I had to move and that I had a contract which called for a minimum of $1 a month, it didn’t do any good,” said Mr. Radomski. ‘They told me that all new contracts for business such as I was doing would be made on a basis of $4 a month mini- mum. “It didn’t seem to make any differ- ence that I h&Ad a contract In force. They said if 1 didn’t agree to the new minimum they wouldn't move my me- ter. “IT learned that the man who occupied the premises into which I was moving algo had an unexpired contract on a $1 basis, but. that didf’t make any differ- ence either... I had to guarantee the company $4 a month or quit using elec- tri¢ity.”’ : Euchre for Orphanage.

LOOKING FOR BELASCO St. Louisan Introduced Doctor to Tammany Members Who Promised Help. Patrick R. FitzGibbon, former City Register, just back from New York, says that while there he saw Dr. P. T. Cunningham, who disappeared from St. Louis simultaneously with Mrs. Beulah Lurton Roseberry. Cunningham was with a woman who was introduced to FitzGibbon as Miss Lurton. Cunning- ham told him he was seeking an en- Fagzement on the stage. FitzGibbon was standing in front of the Vanderbilt Hotel, Forty-second and Lexington avenue, when he saw Cun- ningham and a woman walking past. His Guests, at Dinner. The men exchanged greetings and Cunningham and his companion stopped and the physician introduced her. Fitz- Gibbon invited them to dinner at his ho- tel and they accepted. During the meal nothing was said by Cunningham about the family he had left at 4662 Page boulevard. In giving Fitz Gibbon his address, Cunningham wrote his stage name, Hugh O'Neill, and said he was. stopping at the Grand Union Hotel. FitzGibbon called there and found that Cunningham had not been there. He saw Cunning- ham later and he explained that he was stopping at a private house, but had given the hotel address to impress a third person who was present. Cunningham told Fitz Gibbon he was in need of an engagement and wanted to meet David Belasc®-and Daniel }k'roh- man. FitzGibbon is not acquainted with either, but he introduced Cunning- lam to some members of Tammany Hall,.who promised to get him an intro- duc tion. “Miss Lurton”’ said she was staying at the home of a sister, Mrs. Mathews, at Forty-fifth street and Third avenue. She said her sister was about.to leave New York, however, and added that she would be lonesome after that. Told He Would Hear Talk. Cunningham told FitzGibbon that when he returned to St. Louis he would probably hear something unpleasant about him, but advised him not to take too much stock in it. ‘*‘Miss Lurton”’ said nothing about hav- ing a husband in St. Louis, but. spoke of her father as a member of the Illinois Legislature and seemed familiar with Il- linois politics. Cunningham said he was getting his mail by the general delivery. Z st. ‘LouIs POST.DISPATOH—APRIL : 21, “1908.

PARIS, Mo., April 21.—The trial of the suit of the handsome woman whbd gives her name as Mrs. Rachel Cherry and who is suing John Cherry, a wealthy Jacksonville, Ill., contractor for $60,000. and a division of his real estate, on the ground that she is his common-law wife, gvas halted temporarily today when the woman filed a motion asking for tempo- rary alimony and suit money. She declared that she had no funds with which to proceed, and lacked even sufficient money to support herself. Judge Ebey overruled the motion and it will be carried to the Supreme Court. The trial will not proceed until a deci- sion is announced there. Sues After eee Cherry, then a widower, was married in 1907 to Miss Linna Baskett of this city, daughter of the former State Building and Loan Commissioner. Four months later the woman who calls her- self “Mrs. Cherry’ came to Paris and filed her suit. According to her story, Cherry and she lived together as man and wife in St. Louis and Edst St. Louis for sev- era} months. His first wife was not dead when this occurred, she alleges. Her petition states that she had been turned out of her home in a small by her parents because she persisted in her affair with Cherry. While they were living together, she alleges, Cherry agreed to make her his wife as soon as his legal wife was dead. Immediately after Mrs. Cherry died he was askea to fulfil this agreement, the tition says. .@ put her off, she al- eres, and finally agreed to enter into a common law marriage. She says this occurred in their apartments, without witnesses, Cherry simply saying to her, “Rac hel Pierce, you are my lawful to which, she says, she respond- pone Cherry, you are my lawful rt of her motion for tem- imony, the woman today in- troduced several affidavits in an effort to prove that Cherry had recognized her publicly as hie wife. One of these was by Landlerd Weiss of the Weiss Hotel in East St. Louis, who swore that Cher- ry and the bpm registered as inan and wife and lived there fog 10 hs. Mrs. Eleanor Higgins of Chicago stated in her deposition that Cherry had called the plaintiff his wife several times in her presence. Woman's Past Attacked. The defense attacked the woman's past, oeegng that her daughter Dor- othy, was the daughter of 4 Clinton with ) man. ‘Mra. Cherry’’ admitted this, shoeing that the man had deceived her a vantage over hair-dyes of containing no sil- ver, sulphur, lead or other poisons which in- variably cause hair-falling.

HE REGRETS PREJUDICE Wrong to Charge That Presi- dent Was Influenced by Color,.He Declares. WASHINGTON, April 21.—Strenuously insisting that the evidence produced by the Senate committee which investi- gated the incident proved without doubt that members of the Twenty-fifth negro infantry were responsible for the ‘‘shoot- ing up"’ of Brownsville, Tex., in August, 1906, Senator Warner of Missouri to- day addressed the Senate at length. He presented the administration side of the case. At the outset he declared that the question of the facts should be answered without race or color preju- dice, and he regretted ‘‘a studious and systematic effort’’ had been made to arouse the race feeling of the negroes of the country against the President because of his action in the matter. He sald: “It Is incredible to me that any in- telligent man, white or black, should have the hardihood to charge that the President, in issuing the order discharg- ing those soldiers, was _ influenced ‘against them by reason of their color.” He declared that he was convinced that the attitude of the Brownsville people toward the troops was unjust, but that the troops’ resentment should not have prompted the raid. He de- clared that he was forced to the con- clusion that members of Companies B, C and D, whose identity has not been shown, ‘“‘made the midnight assault on the sleeping and helpless citizens of Brownsville.’’ PRINCE GOES TO MEET MME. GOULD; “FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF 60D” Helie de Sagan N Makes Pious Reply to Question as to His Ex- pected Marriage. PARIS, April 21.—Prince Helie de Sa- gan gave an interview at the house of a friend last night before he left for Naples, in which he admitted that he Was going to Italy to meet Mme. Anna Geuld, formerly Countess de Castellane, to whom he Is reported to be engaged. He refused to give any intimation as to when and where the marriage would take place, saying piously: “‘The future is in the hands of God.” The Prince described his experience in America as “‘torture.’’ He said he was everywhere besieged by a legion of re- porters and a horde of photographers, and that the most odious and most ri- diculous things were printed about him and Mme. Gould. “They even announced that our mar- riage had occurred secretly in New Jersey,”’ he said, ‘“‘which was as false as the reported family dinners at which my fate was discussed.’’ He declared also that even a high pre- late of the Catholic Church teok notice of his presence by issuing a manifesto against divorce, and this induced the clergy each Sunday to preach violent sermons against him and Mme. Gould. HUSBAND ASKS POLICE TO KEEP WIFE FROM ENDING HER LIFE Fears Missing Woman Has Carried Out Threat. and Committed Suicide. “The police have been requested to look for Mrs. May Loritz and prevent her from committing suicide, if she has not already done so. The request came from her husband, Lester Loritz, an engineer in the Fraternal Building, who lives at 1710 North Spring avenue, after he had received a letter from her threatening to end her iife. “Mrs. Loritz left a note at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon addressed to Mrs. Pelly Schammel, 1919 Franklin avenue, with whom she lived. Mrs. Schammel saw her last at 9 o'clock Monday morn- ing, when she left her house. ‘The Loritzs have been married less than a year and their married life has been more or less unhappy. April 10 Lor- itz took his wife to the City Hospital and said she had tried to kill herself with poison. She was released a week @go and went to the house of Mrs. - Schammel, saying she would never live 3 with her husband again. ‘3 Asks Sieieey, -Mre.

By MARGUERITE MARTYN. of HE widows—and there are several T them—in the vicinity of 3517 North Ninth street are up in arms because the matrimonial prize of the neighbornood has publicly declared himself not for them, nor even for one of them. Ohe comely dame, just for spite, has foralden her l6-year-old daughter to speak or take any notice of him. The old maids say: “It is only one of Charlie Wilson’s spring awakenings. Pe- riodically he comes forth and threatens to get married, but always he returns to his hardened shell of bachelorhood. We have given him up long ago.”’ He Means Busittess. Mr. Charles Wilson of.the above ad- dress is known to be the mildest kind of big, good-natured man—with a gentle voice and an old-fashioned, deferential manner toward women—but when I talked to him for a little while on his doorstep, I was led to believe that he knows his own business better than any one else knows it, and that the old maids and the others have cause to be- HMeve that he means business this time. At any rate, wasn't this a very busi- ness-like advertisement of his, which appeared in the papers Sunday morning?

He is a very modest man, which is perhaps why he advertised under the name of “Williams” instead of his own. He did not wish his picthred face to appear in the paper—but I decided it to be for his own good, and made a sketch of him while he looked the other way. He is alao disinclined to talk about what he terms his private affairs, though he has made them public. But when I called his attention to the fact that his advertisement is an unusual one in its class, in that it does not merely request “the acquaintance of a congenial lady, object matrimony’’—and does not require that “‘the lady must have some means to embark in a busi- ness undertaking,’’ he hastened to ex- plain that he meant nothing of that sort. “IT meant every word of what I said, and intended to make it so explicit that nothing further need be said,’”’ he de- clared. ‘ Will Know Right Girl. *‘Marriage is a lottery, they say. Ev- -erything is more or less a speculation. I theught I'd as soon buy a lottery ticket in one company as another—so I bought a newspaper advyertisement—I hoped it would reach the ra#ht girl—but, of course, it will only be a stroke of good fortune if it does. “I shall know the right girl at a glance if she comes. It will only re- main for her to be suited. “Yeu notice I always say girl. Wid- ows are tiresome, and I don’t want a second-hand wife. “Old maids," he went on, with a dis- gusted, weary sigh, ‘‘are gossipy.

Kuows but Few Women. “This has been my home since child- hood. I have never wandered far from it. “That is why I know so few women beyond my own door yard, and, per- haps, that is why 1 was prompted to advertise in order to know ether wom- en. But I can’t see why that should be so unusual.” And why should it be? Since, as he says, he is not a gay butterfly, flitting from flower to flower—why should not some genial, little, home-leving moth flutter near his candle flame and settle down? They do sometimes.

Koetszsie of New Madrid, Mo., an- nounced to the police Tuesday morning that after staying a week in St. Louis he had regafmed his health but had lost his young wife and all his money. He asked the police to help him find her, and he gave this description of her: WHAT BACHELOR WILSON ASKS OF A WIFE.

NEW YORK, April 21.—The mystery of the unmarked grave containing a number of skeletons found the other day at Hancock on Sandy Hook, seems to have been solved. It is now believed the bones are the remains of a party of Englishmen who were cast away on Sandy Hook in 1783, and buried where their frozen bodies were found. The grave was discovered by acci- dent the other day while men were ex- cavating for the foundations for the new gun mounts to be placed in the fort which is one of those designed to protect New York harbor. Stone in Trinity Solves Mystery. The supposed solution to the mystery is found in the inscription on a tablet in the sacristy of Old Trinity Church. The inscription is as follows: “At Sandy Hook lie interred (the bones of) the Honorable Hamilton Douglas Hallyburton, son of Sholto Charles, Earl of Morton and heir of the ancient fam- land, who perished on the coast with 12 more young gentlemen and one com- mon seaman in the spirited discharge of duty on the 30th or 3lst of Decem- ber, 1783. Born on the 10th of October, 1763. “A youth who, in contempt of hard- ship and danger, possessed of an ample fortune, served seven years in the Brit- ish Navy with a manly courage and seemed to deserve a better fate.

Mayor Wells’ sult against the LaSalle Investment Co., which took a lease on his property at the northwest. corner of Broadway and Olive street, was settled Tuesday for $21,453.20, the investment company paying all the Mayor asked, with interest. The company leased the corner and tore down the building there, to erect a new. skyscraper. Mayor Wells charged that the company failed to com- ply with its promise to pay $15,00 rent semiannually, and to pay the taxes. He sued for the rent and $5794 taxes. et eaten ————— ——EEEyyy Kidneys Cured by This Simple Treatment Get your druggist to mix the follow- ing ingredients: one- half ounce fluid ext. Buchu, one ounce of compound fluid Balmwort and two ounces of syrup Sarsaparilla compound. Shake well and take a teaspoonful before each meal and one when retiring. Drink plenty of water between meals and at night, but little of any liquid at mea! times. The buchu alone is an excellent tonic for the kidneys and bladder, but com. bined with the excellent qualities of balmwort and sarsaparilla, its efficacy ig ten times greater.

Morton was just stepping off an Ar- kansas Southern passenger train, ac- companied by his wife and 7-year-old son, when Barham appeared, armed. Morton was carrying a repeating shot- gun Little Boy Wounded. Both men opened fire, and Morton’s little boy fell, probably fatally wounded. T. W.

Me -— CHICAGO, April 21.—Herman Billek. the necromancer whose execution has been postponed from next Friday until June 12, read his own palm this morn- ing and declared he would never hang. The reprieve was granted late vester- day afternoon by Gov. Deneen and the State Board of Pardons. Pinning his hope to new evidence his attorneys have discovered, and in the lines in his hand, the “witch doctor” is confident of salvation from the gallows. Has No “Gallows Line.” “I feel a prophetic sense that I will be freed,”’ he said. ‘Look, my hand has no stigmata of the gallows. There is a complete absence of the ‘gallows line’ which is found on the palms of all those born to be hanged.” The Rev. Father O'Callaghan. to whom Billek owes his reprieve, visited the con- demned man this morning. He showed him the new evidence on which so much depends. It is an anonymous letter furnishing the names of a woman and four men the writer declares were im- plicated in the Vzral murder plot. State’s Attorneys Allege Hypnotism. The new evidence will be collated, and Attorney Hinckley, for Billek, will make it the basis of a petition for a supple- mentary hearing before the Pardon Board at an early date. The State’s attorneys declared _ this morning that Jere Vzral, whose repudi- ation of the trial testimony brought Bil- lek’s reprieve, is under Billek’s hyp- notic influence.

We are a long ways, probably, from perfect equality in laws and their enforcement, but there is no reason why there should be palpable dis- crimination by public service corporations in their dealings with the public If some of the people using the street cars were charged 10 cents while others paid only 5 cents or 3 cents, the wrong would be no more pro- nounced than it is in the case of the electric light company which has rates four or five times as high for some people as it has for others. A public-service corporation which ventures to charge one man more than another must neces- sarily fix its rates arbitrarily, and with no better reason than its own caprice or interest. A con- dition of affairs in which such a corporation, de- pendant upon public grants for the privilege of doing business, can select classes to favor and set apart classes to oppress, is intolerable. It can be corrected without great difficulty, for all of its methods are known, or should be. The drift of laws cannot always be told in ad- vance, and the ingenuity of wrongdoing on the part of officeholders is incalculable, but the prob- lem presented in public service is simple and plain. Rates are reasonable and uniform or they are unreasonable and discriminating. Consumers who care to know whether they are one or the other may easily ascertain the facts and act ac- cordingly. There is a remedy at law for the unequal rates of the Union Electric Co. and the people will have only themselves to blame if they do not seek it. oe ;™ be ll SOME OF THE BRYAN PARASITES. Mr. Bryan is not to be blamed for the perform- ances and utterances of his too-zealous friends. He has had occasion of late to repudiate severa) of them with considerable severity. One objection to a long-time candidacy under party government is seen in the fact that various individuals closely identified with the leader count too confidently upon his success and so develop into a bread and butter brigade of huge proportions. Mr. Bryan‘s political ambitions have not interfered with his industry and manner of life, but many of his followers have been living on hope for several years, with the usual results. Gen. Grant had such an element in his train and so did James G. Blaine and Grover Cleve- land. Men who expegt important office in the event of the election of a friend to the presidency are apt not only to neglect the things nearest at hand, but to become nuisances to the mien whom they think they are serving. The manner in which Mr. Bryan has repudiated some of these people of late shows that if he ever reaches the White House he is well equipped to do a great deal more of it. = rw The new Comptroller of the Currency is to be Lawrence O. Murray of New York, who, so far as is known, has no connection with the I[]linois dynasty. Mr. Murray has not yet picked out the national bank that he would like to serve in the capacity of president, but give him a little time. A» be Ae - Tr

A man who is working for $1.50 per day and makes Iess than four days per week for the entire year is not as well cared for as was the slave. His board and room will cost him $5 per week, his laundry at least 40 cents and his shave 15 cents, car fare at least (0 cents and clothes and shoes at least 70 cents per week. Piease show, by the method taught in our public schools, how he can meet his obligations? ONE ('¥ THE TOILERS. Cruelty to Women. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why don’t the law make these restaurants give their help one day in the week off. It is cruel to make a woman slave every day and half of the night while the men get a day off. Now, there is a law that prevents cruelty to animals. Why not make a law to prevent cruelty to poor restaurant women, who work all the time with nothing but poor eating? A LITTLE TIME TO REST.

The Wise Husband. To the Editor cf the Post-Dispatch. I am a young married man of 22 and am sure that there is nothing which is within my power to do good enough for my wife. A man has no right to ask a young woman to give up everything that is dear to her in this life to become a household slave, without a clear way ahead for his and her future welfare. He should be stricken mute just before making his pro- as a blessing from the Almighty to both. posal, CONTENTED. Kiefer, Ok. Poor Yy4me To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have been very much interested in letter on “Economy.” I think E. W. uses good judgment. : He can always have good, wholesome food on $17 per month, and if at any time he wishes any of the ‘‘lux- uries’’ of life he will have the price to buy them. Yy¢me will never have a home. If he should lose his position or be sick several months (as some are), how long do you think. he could pay his bills? In. case of death his family will be homeless, unless he provides by having life insurance. Ww. Hamilton, Il. Neglected Loafers. To the Fditor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to call attendtion to the fact that there Is al- ways a crowd of loafers around the corner of Lef- fingwell and Locust, and they are in the habit of making insulting remarks to and about every woman that has to pass that corner. My wife has been in- sulted several times by these loafers, and I think there should be something done immediately to stop this practice. If the policeman on the beat did his duty instead of making friends of these loafers it would never happen. A PROPERLY OWNER. The Merry Widower. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Once upon a time a nice old gentleman on the East Side of New York was stuck with a lot of cheap big straw hats (back in the 80’s) called cowbites, and they looked mighty poor to him; but the nice old gentleman was there with a resourceful brain and, dragging the press into his web, has secured such a marvelous amount of free advertising that he has felt compelled to erect a mammoth factory in a New Jersey suburb of New York, where the ‘‘Merry Wid- ows’ are now turned out by the hundred thousand. Please help poor old Isaacstein along. FLAGG. Extras on Telegraph Messages. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Can you please let the public know anything about the reason why the Western Union Telegraph Co. 1s perpetuating an excessive charge on paid messages they deliver? I have received several paid messages in the last few weeks and on each there was an ex- tra charge of 10 cents. I recently sent a paid mes- sage by the Western Union to Springfield, Me., and when it was delivered there was a 26-cent extra charge demanded. Perhaps if I send one to Arkansas or Texas there will be an extra charge on each of 50 cents or $1 respectively. JAMES POTTS, St. Louis University School of Medicine. Disgraceful Owls. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Having occasion to travel on the owl cars on South Broadway, especially on Sunday night, and wish to call attention to the profanity, obscenity and deplor- able conduct which our wives, mothers and sweet- hearts who are so unfortunate as to be passengers on the northbound owl cars are forced to hear and see. Last Sunday night, accompanied by my wife, I had occasion to board the Broadway owl near the south end. The conduct of a number of the passengers, the greater portion of whom were frequenters of wine gardens and low resorts in that locality, returning to their homes after a night of debauchery, was a dis- grace to all South St. Louis, LA MUTHE. Public Library Catalogue. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While the plans are being perfected for the new Public Library, I suggest that the catalogues might be made more useful to the serious reader who de- sires to look up some special subject. if such broad groups as ‘“‘physics,” ‘‘useful arts,” etc., were iuciner subdivided jnto groups embracing only a single topic. For example, I wished to get a book on ‘“‘light,” re- cently, and had to go through the big group, “phys- ics,” to find one. In the group labeled “Mind and Body,” for example, this method of lumping together a great variety of subjects compels the reader to look through almost a whole drawerful of cards to find what he wants. H. M. W. Prohibition in Iowa, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I went to Iowa in 1872. In the latter 70's a “prohibition wave” struck that State, in consequence of which the ‘prohibition law’’ went into effect July 2, 1882, and I could cite you many, many instances of men made drunkar@s, for the reason that they could not, as had formerly been their custom, go into a saloon, on their way home in the evening, and get a glass of beer or whisky, and then proceed to their home, but they would have to go into a drug store, sign a ‘‘certificate” (“death warrant,” for the whisky sold was enough to kill you) and get a pint of ‘‘rot- gut; they could not drink any of it on the premises, 80 would have to drop into an alley and take a drink, dropping into several alleys before reaching home, in ordér that they might finish the bottle, as they be not care to take the bottle, partly filled, into baa d

REMINISCENCES OF M’CLOSKEY., ‘‘No,”’ sai] McCloskey, “it’s not all] 3rimnesgs, this baseball business. A mugh wedges into it now and then. D'!d { ever tell you about Doonan? Doonan —Doonan—that doesn’t sound right, but it was something like that. We picked nim up in the bush, with the usual as- surances of his endowments. He was a hoy to jerk a bull off the bridge—big- boned, big-muscled and gritty as spin- ach. He worked out with us in the spring, and thundered in the index with hard hitting and beautiful catching. Soon after the season opened I slipped him into & game. The pitcher that day wasn't’ fhrowing them hard enough to require Doonan, so I put him’ on first base. The crowd howled when they saw him in the lineup. Whata giant! He was, indeed, a beauty, and he ate everything up in practice. It seemed that positively nothing could bite him first. “Well, the game started, and the first couple of batters went out by way of Doonan. He got one throw from third and another from short. He snapped them like a turtle edting tadpoles. The crowd howled some more and he tipped his hat. Then the third batter bounded a high one to the shortstop. It was a hard play, and the runner flashed across the bag just an edge in front of the ball. “That was before the brain-storm theory had been evolved. But, thanks to subsequent science, we have now an ac- cepted hypothes's for what followed. The batter kent right on to second. Doonan took after him. He gripped the ball in his throwing hand and ran like a whitehead. They crossed second base about ten feet apart. They went around third without either man having gained an inch. Doonan might have cut Inside the line on his man, but he didn’t. He was above any mean advantage. He touched second, and also third. Ap- proaching the plate, he gained percep- tibly, and stretched h's hand out to touch the runner with the ball. But he didn’t quite make it, and they passed over the plate with Doonan’s tag about an inch shy. “Well, the crowd and the players sim- ply rolled over and screamed. I walked over toward Doonan, fully Intending to kill him. When he saw murder in my face, his expression was the most su- perb exhibition of surprised innocence I have ever seen. I simply couldn't do it. I waved him to the bench, and that night I packed him carefully and ex- pressed him back so A Arkansas.’ “T didn’t see you ‘at. chureh Sunday,’ “You didn’t!

THE HOUSE ano Tae BRAIN This Has Been Called “the Greatest Ghost Story in All English Literature.” By BULWER LYTTON. Permission of George Munro's Sons.

CHAPTER I. The Haunted House. FRIEND of mine, who is a man A of letters and a philosopher, said to me one day, as if between jest and earnest: “Fancy! since last we met, I have discovered a haunted house in the midst of London.” “Really haunted?—and by what?— ghosts? “Well, I can’t answer that question; ali I know is this—six weeks ago my wife and I were in search of a furnish- ed apartment. Passing a quiet street, we saw on the window of one of the houses a bill ‘Apartments Furnished.’ The situation suited us; we entered the house—liked the rooms—engaged them by the week—and 1: + them the third day. No power on earth could have re- conciled my wife to stay longer, and I don’t wonder at it. “What did you see?’ “Excuse me—I have no desire to be Fidiculed as a superstitious dreamer— mor, on the other hand, could I ask you fo accept on my affirmation what you would hold to be incredible without the evidence of your own senses. Let me only say this, it is not so much what We saw or heard (in which you might fairly suppose that we were the dupes of our own excitel fancy, or the vic- tims of imposture in others) that drove us away, as it was an undefinable ter- ror which seized both of us whenever we passed by the door of a certain unfur- nished room, in which we neither saw nor heatd anything. And the strangest marvel of all was, that for once in my life § agreed with my wife, silly wom- an though she be—and allowed, after the third night, that it was impossible to stay a fourth in that house. Accord- ingly, on the fourth morning, I sum- moned the woman who kept the house and attended on us, and told her that the rooms did not quite suit us, and we could not stay out our week. She said, dryly, ‘I know why; you have stayed longer than any other lodger. Few ever stayed a second night; none before you a third. But I take it they have been very kind to you.’ * *They—who?”’ smile. “Why, they who haunt the _ house, whoever they are. I don’t mind them; I remember them many years ago, when I lived in this house, not as a servant, but I know they will be the death of me some day. I don’t care—I’m old and must die soon, anyhow; and then I shall be with them, and in this house still.” The woman spoke with so dreary @ sadness that really it was a sort of awe that prevented my conversing with her further. I paid for my week, and too happy were I and my wife to get off so cheaply. “You excite my curiosity,”” said I; ‘nothing I should like better than to sleep in a haunted house. Pray give me to address of the jone which you left so ignominiously.”’ y friend gave me the address, and when we parted I walked straight to- I asked, affecting a * ward the house thus indicated. It is situated on the north side of Oxford street, in a dull but respectable thoroughfare. I found the house shut up—no bill at the window, and no re- sponse to my knock. As I was turn- ing away a beer boy, collecting pewter pots at the neighboring areas, said to me: “Do you -want anyone at that house, sir?”’ “Yes, I heard it was to be let.” “Let! Why, the woman who kept it is dead—has been dead these three weeks, and no one can be found to stay there, though Mr. J—— offered ever so much. He offered mother, who chars for him, £1 a week just to open and shut the windows, and she would not,” 4 “Would not!—and why?" “The house is haunted, and the old woman who kept it was found dead in her bed, with her eyes wide open. They say the devil strangled her." “Pooh! You speak of Mr. J-—. Is he the owner of the house?” "Yes." “Where does he live?’ ' “In G— street, No. —.” “What is he—in any business?’ “No, sir—nothing particular; a single I gave the pot-boy the gratuity earned by his liberal information, and proceeded to Mr, J-—, in G-—— street, street that boasted the haunted house. I was lucky enough to find Mr. J—at home —an elderly man, with intelligent coun- tenance and prepossessing manners. I communicated my name and my business frankly. I said I heard the house was considered to be haunted— that I had a strong desire to examine a house with so equivocal a reputation— that I should be greatly obliged if he would allow me to hire it, though only for a night. I was willing to pay for that privilege whatever he might be in- St. Louis Rats Are they more numerous here than in other cities? city rats seem to have multi- ee few months, is enormous. should be exterminated at once. simplest and most effective way is Sterns Rat and Roach

66 J 7 was not so much what we saw or heard that drove us away as it was an un- definable terror which seized both of us whenever we passed by the door of a certain unfur- nished room, in which we neither saw nor heard any- thing.” The Philosopher's Statement.

clined to ask. .“Sir,”’ said Mr. J.—, with great courtesy, ‘“‘the house is at your service for as short or as long a time as you please. Rent is out of the question—the obligation will be on my side should you be able to discover the cause of the strange phenomena which cannot let it, for I cannot even get a servant to keep it in order or answer the door. Unluckily the house is haunt- ed, if I may use that expression, not only by night, but by day; though at night the disturbances are of a more unpleasant and sometimes of a more alarming character. The poor old wom- an who died in it three weeks ago was a pauper whom I took out of a work- house, for in her childhood she had been known to some of my family, and had once been in such good circumstances that she had rented that house of my uncle. She was a woman of superior education and strong mind, and was the only person I could ever induce to remain in the house. Indeed, since her death, which’ was sudden, and the Cor- oner’s inquest, which gave it a notori- ety in the neighborhood, I have so des- paired of finding any person to take charge of the house, much more a ten- ant, that I would willingly let it rent free for a year to anyone who would pay its rates and taxes.’’ ‘“‘How long is it since the house ac- quired this sinister character?’ “That I can scarcely tell you, but very many years since. The old woman I spoke of said it was haunted when she rented it between thirty and forty years ago. The fact is that my life has been spent in the East Indies, and in the civil service of the company. I returned to England last year, on in- heriting the fortune of an uncle, among whose possessions was the house in question. I found it shut up, and unin- habited. I was told that it was haunt- ed, that no one would inhabit it. I smiled at what seemed to me so idle a story. I spent some money in repair- ing it—added to its old-fashioned fur- niture a few modern articles—advertised it, and obtained a lodger for a year. He was a Colonel retired on half-pay. He came in with his family, a son and a daughter, and four or five servants; they all left the house the next day; that he had seen something different from that which had scared the others, a something still was equally terrible to all. ° “I really could not in conscience sue, nor even blame, the Colonel for breach of agreement. Then I put in the old woman I have spoken of, and she was empowered to let the house in apart- ments. I never had one lodger who stayed more than three days. I do not tell you their stories—to no two lodgers have there been exactly the same phenomena repeated. It is better that you should judge for yourself, than en- ter the house with an imagination in- fluenced by previous narratives; only be prepared to see and hear something or other, and take whatever precautions you yoursélf please.” “Had you never a curiosity to pass a night in that house?’ “Yes. I passed not a night, but three hours in broad daylight in that house. My curiosity is not satisfied, but it is quenched. I have no desire to renew the experiment. I cannot expiain. I eee, sir, that I am not sufficiently can- did; and unless your interest be ex- ceedingly eager,’ and your nerves un- usually strong, I honestly add, that I advise you not to pass a night in that house.’’ “My interest is exceedingly keen,”’ said I, “and though only a coward will boast of his nerves tn situations wholly unfamiliar to him, yet my nerves have been seasoned in such variety of dan- ger that I have the right to rely on them—even in a haunted house.” “Mr. J-~— said very little more: he took the keys of the house out of his bureau, gave them to me, and thank- ing him cordially for his frankness, and his urbane concession to my wish, I carried off my prize. “Impatient for the experiment, as soon as I reached home I summoned my confidential servant—a young man of gay spirits, fearless temper and as free from superstitious prejudice as anyone [ could think of. “F—,"" said I, “you remember in Germany how disappointed we were at not finding a ghest in that old castle, which was said to be haunted by a headless apparition?

I thought to myself that I would take the book with me; there was so much of healtl.fulness in the style, and practical life in the subjects, that it would serve as an antidote against the influences of superstitious fancy.

Poets on Carnegie.

Cc. K. §8., in The Sphere, Londen. HAVE received from Mr. S._ H. Church, the secretary of the trus- tees of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg, a most elaborate volume in which are recorded the transactions of the visit of certain more or less known Europeans to that city as the guests of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Most of ts know Mr. Carnegie only as an American iron king who has spent large sums of money very foolishly upon free libraries. Amid the oceans of type in this memo- rial volume I can find only one ‘‘poem.” In England this kind of thing would have produced a dozen at least, although of uncertain quality. The poet of this occasion was Mr. William Archer, whom most of us know rather as a hypercriti- cal critic of poetry than as a poet. His verses are entitled, ‘The Scottish Guests of Andrew Carnegie." Man Andra, wi’ the guid Scots face; Man Andra, wi’ the auld Scots name, We Scots, to this far-sinder’d place, Bring ye kind greetin'’s ower the faim, Auld Scotland lo’es ye fine, ye ken, Her wanderin’ son, yet leal an’ true; On her lang roll o’ guid, great men, Tho’ latest, no the least are you.

LAYING THE BLAME ON WOMEN The Example of Adam and Its Falsehood Discussed for the Post-Dispatch BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH.

tion to est Virginia on a charge of murder, pub- lished ye erday a warning to young men, in which he blames aq]l his troubles on various women, and uttered the familiar sentiment that a woman can raise a man’s ambition higher, cause him to fight harder than he had ever thought possible, or else she can sink his ambitions “®thousand miles below the fathomless depths of hell.” The first per®>n to phrase this interesting statement was Adam. the frst man. But it must be admitted that man has no monepoly of this world-old custom of blam- ing it on the eth>r fellow. To be sure, it was Adam who said, “The woman tempted me, and I did eat,”’ but I’ve no doubt Mother Eve entertained her grandchildren with the story of herown unappreciated self-sacrifice in steal- ing for Adam the apple she knew he wanted. ‘ Certainly women of our own time have too much the habit of laying their ae coe BAKER, 23 years old, awaiting extradi- ‘troubles on some contributory man. The most degraded woman and the most criminal men alike shift the burden oftheir delinquencies on other shoulders. Yet, as a matter of fact, no man OF woman need go outside himself or her- self for the source of misfortune. Nothing in life is final but the ending of it. There is no disaster that comes to anyone which cannot be mastered. Monte Cristo, hopelessly imprisoned in a dungeon of rock, lived to say, ‘‘The world is mine!” And so may anyone else, no matter how poor or grief-stricken or sin- ridden, providea he accepts his own responsibility for success or failure and does not try to shift it on someone else. The man who is weak enough to blame a woman for his crimes has that weakness, not the woman it led him to blame. ‘The woman who whines that “some man” contributed to her downfall should look into her own soul for the real cause of it. . ‘ Some one, to be sure, may jostle us in the street and we may fall.

Loufs who would say that they couldn't live honest lives here because ‘“‘some man” in New Mexico or New Zealand had taught them first to err. There are men, like James Baker, who would say they ‘are criminals here because some ‘woman in Budapest had taught them to steal. Well, a woman may blame “some man’”’ for one error—perhaps. A man. with a shadow of excuse, may argue that “some woman” is responsible for one crime to which she lured him. But that is all. The fact that either goes on sinning proves a natural talent for it.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY DETROIT, April 21.—Filled with a new determination, instead of dis- couragement because of the 7-to-1 defeat handed out by the White Sox in Chicago Monday, the Browns arrived here this morning with the fighting spirit brimming over for the series. with the American League champions. In fact, it is the watchword among the team to out-Jennings the fighting

All the way over on the sleeper last night, Rube Waddell dreamed of bunts. If there is one thing in the world that Rube Waddell hates it is a bunted ball. One can stand there and smash the ball out as hard as he likes and he will just grin and chuckle to himself, but the minute a team starts dumping the ball in front of him Rube files. A couple of seasons back the Chicago White Sox discovered Rube’s hatred for bunted balls and Monday in the final game between the Browns and Sox the latter team had a collection of those to present to Rube at the first oppor- tunity. Come in Showers. If they had-spread them out a little and handed them to him one in, an in- ning he might have been able to bear it. But they were wise to Rube and they gave him a “‘bunt shower” in the sixth inning and Rube was so distressed that he forgot he was in a ball game. The result was that the Sox ripped off five tremendous counters in that inning and added a couple more in the next before Rube had calmed himself. Rube had to go to the bench and let “Dode”’ Criss finish the game. When Acting Manager O’Connor put Rube in against the Sox Monday he hoped to make it three out of four from the former world’s champions. In the Friday game Rube had let the Sox down with one lhittle hit and shut them out without a rin. So it was thought best to give Rube another whirl at the Chi- cagoans. Great for Five Innings. For five innings he worked beautiful- ly Only one hit had been made in that time and the boys all thought the Rube was going to slip Comiskey an- other fat lemon. Rube himself was beginning to feel confident, too, and began to act funny, something he never does when losing. Then the Sox started to bunt. Oh, such a confusion of bunts. Some rolled and some fell dead. Bunts to the right of him and bunts to the left of him. The big sturdy twirler became _ so fussed he couldn't see the home plate. In about two minutes the bases were full and no one out and there were still more bunts to come. Rube lost his speed and curves and then, slam, bang, the ball was smashed to the outfield, and one after another of the Sox run- ners were driven over the home plate. Then Danny Hoffman awoke to the situation and turned as clever a piece of work as was ever seen in baseball and suddenly stopped the Sox with a terrible jolt. . Record Double Play. Only one man was out and there were atill two men on the bases. Donohue was at third and Tannehill at second, and it seemed that more runs were sure to come in. Five had already counted. Such a distressing place Rube had not geen in many Season. Then Catcher Shaw of the Sox rapped that single to right field that started the greatest double play ever’ made on Comiskey’s grounds, : Donohue stood on third thinking Hoff- man might get the ball and then he would race home. Tannehill seemed to see that Hoffman hadn’t a chance to catch the ball and he started home. Danny had made a dash after the short fly as soon as it was hit and then, seeing the situation, he stopped sud- denly, let the ball hit the ground in front of him and took it on the first bound.

or eight feet behind came Tannehill, on the jump, the latter never stopping at third. Danny grabbed the ball, and, with terrific force, lined it to the plate to Spencer. The ball never hit the ground, but came to big Hack in a straight line. It was there when Jiggs was six feet away and Spencer stood calmly by the plate and tagged him and then did the same to Tannehill. It was the liveliest piece of baseball in the game and some- thing that wili not occur again in sev- eral seasons. Waddell complained of slight’ sore- ness in his arm before the game, but O’Connor didn’t know who else to pitch, for Pelty was not in shape, so, of course, Rube volunteered to go in and do the best he could. He has tried in other years to win two games from the Sox in'the same series, but has never yet been able to do it. Ball on Straight Line. The Browns had scored one run before all that bunting was started and the Chicago fans were beginning to think that the Rube would easily land another victory. That run looked awfully big un- til the sixth inning and then it shrunk into nothing. Rube himself scored that one run, get- ting off with a base on balls, and being pushed around with a sacrifice, an out and Stone's double. In but three innings did the White Sox hit Rube’s curves. One’ was made in the fourth, seven in the sixth and three in the seventh.

g Sidelights on Cardinals’ Game. |

It’s a dreadful hardship for a city so insane on baseball as St. Louis to be de- prived of the sport for three days. That’s the condition that confronts us beginning today and eqntinuing until} Friday. The Cardinals are off for Pittsburg to- day, where they open for a series April 22, while the Browns are in Detroit and do not return until Friday, when they oppose the White Sox team here. The Cardinals will not be back until May 6, series with Pittsburg, Cincin- nati and Chicago being their interven- ing engagements. O’Rourke, in the first inning, after Koney had stopped a wild throw by Byrne to catch Sheckard at first, put the ball on the runner in masterly fash- ion when he tried to steal second. Inci- dentally it was a perfect throw by Hos- tetter that helped him. Hostetter was there again with the arm on Evers, the very next inning and helped Raymond out of a place that promised to wax warm. Despite an error by. Charles and a base on balls in the fourth Raymond wiggied out of the tight place without a hit being made off him or without a run scoring. In the fourth and fifth innings Ray- mond handed out bases on balls, but pulled himself together on both occa- sions. After the fatal sixth, when he must have offered up thanks for escap- ing without being pounded for a safety, even though two runs scored; Ray- mond stiffened up and gave neither hits, bases on balls nor encouragement of any description to the visitors. The Cardinals were but little better than the Cubs in hitting the ball, al- though they secured five safeties, Mur- ray getting two. Lundgren was in grand form at moments when runs were any- where near in sight. At that four line drives were cut off by Cubs’ flelders that should have gone for hits. In the last Inning, with two down, the Cardinals seemed about to break into the run column and encourage Raymond by winning out. Murray singled and Koney was safe von Evers’ mistake. Byrne hit savagely and it looked for a time that the ball would go safe, but the fielder got his mitt on the ball and the contest was over—except in the club- }house, where it was played al! over again—verbally—McCloskey being inter- locutor. Shaw probably will be given a try-, out during the trip of the Cardinals. This clever player has not been shown in a championship game, but those who have seen him at the game say he is a promising diamond artist. Fromme probably will be used in the first game against. Pittsburg Wednes- day. Karger’s wing is still crippled and will hardly be available for some days. Gilbert, Karger and several of the hospital brigade will remain here dur- ing the three-series trip of the team, getting ready for the fray.

A new baseball league with four clubs was organized at a meeting held iast night. The league will be known as the Doctors, Dentists, Druggists and Drum- mers’ League. Games will be played every Thursday afternoon at Athletic Park. It is expected that the opening ames will be played a week from hursday. many of the rumors regarding a horse being ‘dead’ were made out of the whole cloth, but, nevertheless, the stewards found by a close surveillance of many of the trainers under suspicion that there were enough grounds to war- rant the adoption of an order debarring them from the betting ring. The trainers wil] be permitted to bet on their own horses, but they will not be allowed to wager on another horse: when they have an entry in the same race. They will be permitted to send mes- sengers into the betting inclosure to place their wagers, but the line will be sharply drawn regarding their presence among the bookmakers.

NEW YORK, «pri! 21.—Fine work with the cue by Rerolle, the French amateur billiardist who held the French title for five years, losing it to Mortier just be- fore sailing, characterized his first exhi- bition games, played at the Liederkranz Club. Of the three games which he played, all at 18.2 balk line, the best exhtbition was with Edward McLaughlin, the pro- fessional. The Frenchman ran out his string of 300 in 16. innings, averaging 18 12-16 and leading McLaughlin by 10 points. His high runs were 50, 48 and 41. ATTELL DEFEATS KELLY EASILY

Eighth Round by Champion. SEATTLE, Wash., April 21.—At Sound Beach, Washington, Monday, Abe At- tell, featherweight champion of the world, defeated Eddie Kelly of Buffalo in the eighth round. Kelly was unable to land a damaging blow on the cham- pion during the bout. During the first minute of the eighth round Attell floored his opponent with a right swing and a moment later sent Lhim down a second time. At this point the referee stopped the bout, giving At- tell the decision.

JOHNSON SAILS TO SEEK MATCH Colored Fighter Hopes to Induce Burns to Sign for Champion- ship Battle.

Special . to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 21.—After much unsuccessful bickering, Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight, and his man- ager, Sam Fitzpatrick, will sail for England today to force Tommy Burns into a match for the championship of the world. Burns’ manager came here a week ago with $5000 to go as a side bet, prowding Burns received a guaran- teed $30,000 purse. Johnson and Fitzpat- rick think they can secure a match by meeting Burns in London. The departure of the colored fighter is the prelude probably to another ‘‘get- the-money” game, such as the one just being rounded out by Champion Burns himself. There will be the usual confer- ence of representatives in London, at which the sporting publications will be- come duly excited; then the theatrieal tour follows, succeeded by the easy- picking good purses. Then, perhaps, Burns will meet Johnson in America. Burns is evidently not willing to get down to Mr. Johnson's plans right at the present time. He is living comfort- ably to the tune of about $25,000 a year on his reputation as champion and prob- ably sees no reason why he should sac- rifice this soft condition of affairs to gratify the whim of Johnson to cut a piece of the same pie. As long as there is chance of a good purse, with an easy mark awaiting him, Mr. Brusseau, as the champion’s fam- ily calls itself, will deny himself the pleasure of showing up the yellow streak in the bronze dinge. Johnson is really in earnest about fighting Burns, although the latter has too much money to put up as a side wager to suit the backers of Johnson. If Fitzpatrick can raise his $2500 ante in the way of a side bet to $5000 it is said by Burns’ representative that the colored fighter can get articles signed. CENTRAL TO SEND 20 ATHLETES Lincoln and Dore Expected te Be Victors at Columbia. It is expected that 20 Central High School athletes will be sent to Colum- bia, Mo., on May 2, to compete in the annual interscholastic meet under the auspices of Missouri University. Jim Lincoln, allround champion of Centra! High, and Dore, who also showed ex- cellent form in the Central High field day last Saturday, are two men that are counted almost certain to win for Central High. The annual McKinley High School field day will be held in the Stadium Thursday afternoon. The meet will be started at 2 o’clock and all of the stu- dents of the school have been granted a holiday.

Sidelights on Cardinals’ Game.

It’s a dreadful hardship for a city so insane on baseball as St. Louis to be de- prived of the sport for three days. That’s the condition that confronts us beginning today and eqntinuing until Friday. The Cardinals are off for Pittsburg to- day, where they open for a series April 22, while the Browns are in Detroit and do not return until Friday, when they oppose the White Sox team here. The Cardinals will not be back until May 6, series with Pittsburg, Cincin- nati and Chicago being their interven- ing engagements. O’Rourke, in the first inning, after Koney had stopped a wild throw by Byrne to catch Sheckard at first, put the ball on the runner in masterly fash- ion when he tried to steal second. Inci- dentally it was a perfect throw by Hos- tetter that helped him. Hostetter was there again with the arm on Evers, the very next inning and helped Raymond out of a place that promised to wax warm. Despite an error by. Charles and a base on balls in the fourth Raymond wiggled out of the tight place without a hit being made off him or without a run scoring. In the fourth and fifth innings Ray- mond handed out bases on balls, but pulled himself together on both occa- sions. After the fatal sixth, when he must have offered up thanks for escap- ing without being pounded for a safety, even though two runs scored, Ray- mond stiffened up and gave neither hits, bases on balls nor encouragement of any description to the visitors. The Cardinals were but little better than the Cubs in hitting the ball, al- though they Secured five safeties, Mur- ray getting twe. Lundgren was in grand form at moments when runs were any- where near in sight. At that four line drives were cut off by Cubs’ flelders that should have gone for hits. In the last Inning, with two down, the Cardinals seemed about to break into the run column and encourage Raymond by winning out. Murray singled and Koney was safe on Evers’ mistake. Byrne hit savagely and it looked for a time that the ball would go safe, but the fielder got his mitt on the ball and the contest was over—except in the club- }house, where it was played all over again—verbally—McCloskey being inter- locutor. Shaw probably will be given a try- out during the trip of the Cardinals. This clever player has not been shown in a championship game, but those who have seen him at the game say he is a promising diamond artist. Fromme probably will be used in the first game against Pittsburg Wednes- day. Karger’s wing is still crippled and will hardly be available for some days. Gilbert, Karger and several of the hospital brigade will remain here dur- ing the three-series trip of the team, getting ready for the fray.

A new baseball league with four clubs was organized at a meeting held last night. The league will be known ag the Doctors, Dentists, Druggists and Drum- mers’ League. Games will be played every Thursday afternoon at Athletic Park. It is expected that the opening ames will be played a week from ursday. {}ATTELL DEFEATS KELLY EASILY BAN ON TRIANERS Lhim down a second time.

IN BETTING RING Jockey Club to Bar Stable Handlers From the Bookmakers’ Circle.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 21.—At the next meeting of the stewards of the Jockey Club @ rule will be passed which will prohibit trainers from frequenting the betting rings at all race tracks. This rule follows the precedent established in the case of all jockeys riding in the Bast’ ' It is the intention of the turf authori- ties to prevent as far as possible all chance of collusion between bookmakers and trainers and jockeys. So many stories have been in circula-' tion of late that trainers and not the’ Fro jockeys are responsible for the erratic form of the horses that it caused the stewards to take this action. Of course, many of the rumors regarding a horse being ‘“‘dead’” were made out of the whole cloth, but, nevertheless, the stewards found by a close surveillance of many of the trainers under suspicion that there were enough grounds to war- rant the adoption of an order debarring them from the betting ring. The trainers will be permitted to bet on their own horses, but they will not be allowed to wager on another horse when they have an entry in the same race, They will be permitted to send mes- sengers into the betting inclosure to place their wagers, but the line will be sharply drawn regarding their presence among the bookmakers. NOBLEMAN AND VANDERBILT OFFER $10,000 TO WRESTLERS Hack Anxious to Meet Gotch in Return Match in England or France. LONDON, April 21.—Russian Lion Hackenschmidt’s manager announced today that Lord Lonsdale and A. G. Vanderbilt have offered to put up a $10,- 000 purse for a match between Hacken- schmidt and Frank Gotch before Au- gust 1, either in England or on neutral soil, preferably France. Hackenschmidt is anxious to accept, but Gotch has not yet been heard from. MELLODY I$ KNOCKED OUT BY LEWIS IN THE FOURTH ROUND Boston Fighter Outfought From Start, Taking Count of Nine in Opener. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, April 2.-—Harry. Lewis of Philadelphia knocked out Honey Mel- lody of this city in the fourth round of what was scheduled to be a 12-round fight at the Armory A. A. here last night. The fight was a one-sided af- fair, and at the end Mellody’s face was cut to ribbons. REROLLE SHOWS FINE PLAYING French Billiardist Runs Out 300 String in 18 Innings. NEW YORK, «pri! 21.—Fine work with the cue by Rerolle, the French amateur billiardist who held the French title for five years, losing it to Mortier just be- fore sailing, characterized his first exhi- bition games, played at the Liederkranz Club. Of the three games which he played, ail at 18.2 balk line. the best exhibition was with Edward McLaughlin, the pro- fessional. The Frenchman ran out his string of 300 in 16. innings, averaging 18 12-16 and leading McLaughlin by 10 points. His high runs were 50, 48 and 41.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 21.—Because his parents objected to his attentions to @ married woman, who was not living with her husband, Abner Bosworth, 20 years old, started West a few days ago, and later drowned himself in the Scioto River, near Columbus, O. Mrs. John Higgins of this cit¥, on whose account the young man left his home, takes the death of her youthful friend much to heart. “I am much upset about the whole af- fair, but I cannot see that I am to blame, "* said the young woman. “Abner seemed infatuated with me from the first time we met. He would frequently insist that I go out with him, but I always refused. He used to write me pleading letters when I would refuse to see him. ‘His parents accused me of turning his head, but I did not. I only broke him of drinking, besides reforming him in other ways

Tenamster Badly Injured. aN FTO sl Cities in Counties Which Went Wet Will Try to Drive Out Saloons. SPRING. .cLD, Ill., April 21.—Many towns and cities throughout the State, particularly in the southern portions, are voting again today on the saloon question. The question will come UP either on the open issue of local option or the election of councilmen. The Prohibitionists are claiming that Pulaski, Christian, Calhoun, Scott and Menard will be listed with the “dry counties” after the vote is completed tonight. There is hope of throwing out the saloons entirely from some of the cities in ‘‘wet” counties. In Cairo the vote will be wirectly on the issue of retaining the saloons, while in Bloomington, which went ‘wet’ at the recent election, the drys try to elect a Board of Aldermen opposed to issu- ing saloon licenses.
