Stephens of 5836 Cab- anne avenue, in a letter to the Post- Dispatch, describes the troubles he has had with the Laclede Gas Light Co. and the Union Electric Light and Power Co. since these two corporations were bought up by the North American Co. Gov. Stephens says the Laclede Gas Light Co. tried to force him to pay a gas bill incurred by a person who occu- pied his house before he bought it, and that he was so annoyed by collectors that he had finally to give his chauffeur and butler orders to kick the next gas man off of the premises. The result of this trouble, he says, was that the gas was shut off of his house during his absence because a gas bill had been overlooked, and he was forced to pay another dollar to have it connected again.

He says the meters of the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Co. galloped along at the same rate when he was away COUNT CHARGES AMERICAN WIFE IS EXTRAVAGANT a. - Says Daughter of Chicago Publisher Spends All Her Income on Herself. / HE ASKS SEPARATION She Replies That He Is Gam- bler,.and Has Wasted Ancestral Estates. jal Cable to the Post-Dispatch ~—— and New York World, Copyright, a by the yy Pub.

She is the daughter of Robert W. Patterson, pub- lisher of the Chicago Tribune, and the sister of Joseph’ Medill Patterson, the young millionaire Socialist. The Count and the Countess are stay- ing at different hotels in Vienna. Great secrecy is being observed as to the suit. The grounds for the Count’s petition are not announced, but it is rumored that he charges the Countess with partiality for wine suppers and with extravagance, alleging that she spends almost entirely upon dress her annual allowance of $20,- 000 from her father for her support. On the other hand, the Countess charges, it is said, that her husband is an inveterate gambler, having frittered away two estates, with the same outlook DIVORCEE, 18, GIVES CUPID SECOND CHANCE 10 MAKE HER HAPPY % a eT * * MRS.

With these wounded came the details of one of the worst wind disasters in the history of the Gulf States. Negro Cabins Are Death Traps. First of all it became known ‘that ne- groes comprised most of the dead, that the picturesque darky cabins, noted for their filmsy, happy-go-lucky construc- tion, had been converted by the wind into wholesale death-traps. | It was in the fall of these cabins which went down almost without warn- ing, that most of the negro deaths oc- curred. These overcrowded cabins also furnished most of the badly wounded. The identified white dead early today numbered 42. In addition it was report- ed that four whites had been killed at McCallum, Miss., which would bring the white death list up to 4. The num- ber of negroes killed was between 150 and 175. The towns which suffered the worst damage in addition to Purvis, were Am- ite, La.; McCallum, M urin and Win- cheater, Miss., and Albe ville, Ala. The following 15 towns were more or lesa damaged: Richmond and Lamourine, La.: Win- gate, New Augusta, Columbus, Walls, Braxton, Belle Grove, Melton, Lorman, Pine Ridge. Quitman’s Landing, Fair- child's Creek and Wahalak, in Missis- sippi, and Bergen, Ala. The destruction of Purvis, Miss., oc- curred at about 10 minutes after 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and was all over in a few minutes time. Of about 200 dwelling houses only seven were left standing. The court house, the only other build- ing in town to withstand the wind, was immediately packed witi: dead and in- jured and served as the only available hospital within many miles. Cc. W. Cromwell, of Jackson ~Miss., in attempting to describe the storm, said all he could realize was that the air was full of flying timbers. These tim- bers dwelt death to many persons who sought safety in the open alr, while the falling of walls was a still greater peril to those who remained indoors. Child Killed While Praying. One child is said to have been kneel- ing in prayer, her uncle bending over her in an attempt to shield her, but despite his care a timber, which did not touch him, killed the girl. Scarcely one brick of the school- house was left on the other. School had been dismissed only a minute before the tornado struck in a field near the town. A farmer who was plowing saw the storm approach and managed to get the members of his family outdoors and be- hind stumps before the wind struck. The house was blown away but none of the farmer's family was injured. One of the children killed is said to bave been lifted high in the air and, while still well above the ground, to have been struck by heavy flying timber ie. which caused its death. Bloody Fiag Halts Train.

This caused general precipitation east of the Missourt and Mississippi rivers. Frost is reported. in Washington and Oregon.

W. Daviess Pittman, busi- nesS manager of the company, said he was absent when the ‘inspection was made, and that the com- pany had not submittéd its report to him. He said he was looking for an expert to make an inspection for him. Company Admits Error.

We are not infallible and do not claim it, but we are always ready, on request, cheerfully to verify a reading or in- spect a meter, and we look to the public to co-operate with us in this work. “A city department to test electric meters would undoubtedly be of great value to the public, as well as to our- selves. “The public knows that the officers and directors of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. are honest and conscientious men, trying faithfully to do their full duty to the public, and that the policy of the company has always been to right a wrong or cor. rect an error when it is shown that such exists.” Approves Paper’s Work.

Countess Gizycki is a handsome woman of the blonde type, with an abundance of auburn hair. Her moth- er is a daughter of the late Joseph Medill, owner of the Chicago Tribune. Miss Patterson first met the Count in 1902 in Paris. He was 20 years her senior, but that did not deter him from becoming an ardent suitor. He formally proposed to her in St. Peters- burg in 1903, while she was visiting her aunt, Mrs. McCormick, wife of the Ambassador to Russia. Mother Aided Match, The marriage took place April 14, 1904, at Washington, at the winter home of the Pattersons, on Dupont Circle. The union, it was published at the time, was against the wishes of the bride’s father, but was with the consent of the mother, who had agreed to settle an annual allowance out of her own private fortune upon the daughter.

In fact, he has not gone to Vienna at all. I have never heard of any trouble between the Gizyckis, and I think I would know if there was any.”’ The Countess’ father is also in Eu- rope. Later, it is said, Mrs. Patterson received a cablegrom frem Vienna say- ing that the Count and Countess were at the Grand Hotel in that city and were having a happy visit. The Countess, it is reported, has talked freely to her friends in Vienna regarding her marital troubles.

SECOND TIME IN A HURRY = gee--——.-—_-- The Path of 18-Year-Old Lucille Rhorer’s Two} Weeks’ Romance Leads to Altar. - = 7 Married at the age of 16, after an elopement, and divorced at 17, when she was still an “‘infant’’ in the eyes of the law, having been deserted by her hus- band after three months of married life, Miss Lucille Rhorer, 18 years old, of 4559 McMillan avenue has not only failed to acquire a pessimistic view of matrimony, but within six months after having obtained her divorce, has eloped again. After a courtship of two weeks the child divorcee was again married Friday night by Justice of the Peace -Martin Moore without the knowledge of her relatives. , James H. Rogers, a commercial trav- eler, is her partner in her second mat- rimonial experiment. Young Husband Went Away. Miss Rhorer was married in St. Louis for the first time on June 1, 196, to Norman Gauhan, when she was 16 years old. Three months after their marriage Gauhan sent his wife to visit her sister in Des Moines, Io., telling her he was obliged to go to Texas on a business trip. She never saw him again. A year later she filed suit for divorce in Judge Shields’ division of the St. Louis Circuit Court. She being an ‘‘in- fant’’ under the law, the suit was filed in the name of her next friend, Henry O’F lynn, her brother-in-law. In her testimony at ‘the trial of the case she told Judge Shields that her life with Gauhan was made inflerable by his late hours, drinking and cigarette smoking. Judge Shields granted the with her sister, Mrs. O'Flynn, at the McMillan avenue address. Two weeks ago the child divorcee was introduced to James H. Rogers. Her previous matrimonial experience had not embittered her toward other suit- ors, and when Rogers determined to win her, he found no spirit of pessimism to overcome. His courtship was of the rapid-fire order. Within a week they were engaged, but the wedding date had not been set. Friday afternoon Rogers and Miss Rhorer were members of a jolly lunch- eon party at Faust’s. Leave Luncheon for Wedding. By a particular'y ardent bit of woo- ing, Rogers secured her consent to go to the City Hall and get a marriage li- cense. They quietly left the group at the tables and visited Clerk Ruedi’s of- fice. From there it was but a step to the office of Justice Moore, 1007 Chest- nut street, and in a few moments the young divorcee was again a wife. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers then went to the Mar- quette Hotel for dinner. When Mrs. Rogers’ sister was called to the telephone late in the evening she expected to be informed of some seri- ous accident, as she was convinced something must have happened or Lu- cille would have been back long before. Mrs. Rogers calmly informed her of her second marriage. Saturday the bride took her husband to see her fa- ther and her sister and received their forgiveness and blessing. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers will leave in a few days to spend their honeymoon at Rogers’ home in Maysville, Ky. GIRLS WORK UNTIL FLOOD MAROONS THEM IN FACTORY Boats to Rescue of Faithful Em- ployes of East Alton Pow- der Plant. Sixty girls working in the Klondike, a packing department of the Equitable Powder Co., at East Alton, which had to be shut down on account of the rise of water at Wovdriver Friday, had narrow escapes from being washed away by the flood. Fe Manager C. C. White had told the girls tao. Keep on working, saying the flood would not touch them and as they worked away the waters rose sud- denly, marooning them in the plant. The girls became frightened, and Man- ager White had difficulty in keeping them from leaping into the water and moaking an effort to struggle to dry land. | Several boats were brought. and the girls were taken out of the plant.

SALEM, Mass., April 25.—Harry H. Lebaron, 17 years old, today shot and killed his wife, aged 17, to whom he was married in February, and then com- mitted suicide. A note left by the couple showed that they had agreed to die to- gether. Despondency because the young husband could pot get employment is ascribed as the cause of the tragedy. The shoeting occurred in the house of the young man’s father. Careful prep- arations fer death had been made. The notes were written by the wife. One was pinned to an embroidered shirt- waist and addressed to the elder Mrs. Lebaron. It read: “When I am. buried pleake have this waist put om me.

IS AN UMPIRE System of Procedure Is Thats Which England Long Ago Abandoned. JUDGE

Murder, highway robbery and other classes of crime will continue to in- crease in the United States until some- thing is done to reform the present sys- tem of American legal procedure, ac- cording to John D. Lawson, dean of the law department of the University of ‘Missouri. Dean Lawson expressed himself at length along these lines at a meeting of the St. Louis Bar Association Fri- day night. Fred W. Lehmann, who pre- sided, and several other well-known lawyers, agreed with him that steps should be taken to insure society against miscarriage of justice through trivial technicalities. In discussing this feature of his ad- dress with a Post-Dispatch reporter Sat- urday, Prof. Lawson declared that legal ‘quibbles had made a mockery of justice in the United States. Indictment a Hindrance. “If a man is tried for murder the in- dictment against him must set forth, under our laws, how the crime was com- mitted, by what means, the e::act hour of the day or night and a wealth of other details that belong purely to the trial of the case. “Because some vahettast statement in the text of that charge is slightly inaccurate, the entire case may be re- versed and remanded for new trial. “Original justice is now a _ contest, not a trial. “It has deveolped, as I pointed out last night, into a sort of game of sport, with the Judge as umpire. What do ‘yerdicts amount to if the criminals have money to take an appeal? Law in Disrespect. “The old respect for law in the United States is disappearing, because it seems that criminals may escape punishment through courts of appeals on the most insignificant technicality. \ “T know of one case thrown out of court because the word “‘first’’ had been ‘ _™ ppelled “fust’’ in the information; in an- ‘other the word “breast’* was spelled without an ‘‘a,’’ and in still another the information failed to state the caliber of a revolver. “Some of these reasons for reversal *were so ludicrous that they read like the efforts of Mark Twain or other professional funny men. Behind the English. “For 30 years the English law has been swift and sure. Our present methods were copied from the states prevailing under the Georges, the Stewarts and the Tudors. They were intended in England to protect the ac- cused from the tyranny of the courts. “But that tyranny has long since ceased, and England today is one of the fairest countries in point of law enforcement. “What we need is a commission to investigate the laws and their meth- ods of enforcement. I believe this re- form is coming, and that the Amertf- m President who advocates it will doing his country the greatest ser- _Vice imaginable.” ‘POLICE INSTRUCTED TO FIND - MAN TRACY FINED $100 Woman Testifies Boarder Beat.

Mrs. Baruch testified that after a ‘dispute over a board bill, Gardner, who boarded with her, came into her room, where she lay sick in bed, and dragged her out and beat her.

paid by me. Litigation, ecven, was threatened. “Iw so annoyed that I finally had to serve notice on my butler and chauf- feaur that if they didn’t kick the next collector from this company off the premises, I would discharge both of them. When the next collector came he was told a few things, and never re- turned. “This evidently on placed me the ‘blacklist,’ Shortly afterwards’ there was sickness in my family, and we were compelled to leave home for about six weeks. The bill for gas, in our ab- sence and distress, was overlooked, and tl.e service was ‘discontinued.’ Had to Pay Extra. On returning home I found an insult- ing letter from the company, inform- ing me that to get a continuance of the service I must not only pay the Dill for gas consumed, but a dollar extra for the service it would require, to give me again the connection. “Two or three times while absent from home the Union Electric Light and Power Co. have also threatened me with ‘discontinuance of service,’ if bills were not promptly paid. On one occa- sion I forwarded from another State the amount I supposed to be due, as per bill, but the time in which I was al- lowed a discount had elapsed and the check was returned, with the threat that if the amount was not paid ser- vice would be discontinued. “Twice 1 was absent from home and there was no light in my house, but the meter galloped along in the same old way, and bills corresponding with other months while at home were for- warced to me. I was compelled to take these matters up with the company, and on investigation they found that they were wrong, and they kindly relieved me of these burdens, and services were not discontinued. During the winter I was absent again, and I notified them of the same, and made a personal re- quest that they. watch the meter in my absence, and see to it that I got a “square deal’ with the company. On returning home I found another threat from the company, informing me that a dollar was due, although no light had been consumed. “IT note these grievances simply to show that if the Laclede Gas Light Co. and the Union Electric Light and Power Co. were competitors for business in the City of St. Louis and were not a cold- blooded trust, patrons would be treated more civilly and liberally. Now if one is mistreated by either of these compa- nies there is no place for him to go where he can. get redress. “The citizens of St. Louis, as IT said above, should render you every possible service In your efforts along these lines. You are entitled to the praise and grati- tude of our people.” Has to Put Up 815 More. C. 8. MecGranahan, proprietor of the Auto Buffet of 3941 Olive street, says he has been required by the Laclede Gas Light Co. to put up an additional $15 on his meter. He had a deposit of $10, and although he had discounted all of his gas bills, he says he was recently notified that he would have to in- crease his deposit to $2. Mr. Me- Granahan’s meter supplies gas for both his residence and his saloon. “My gas bills, since I began serving a lunch in the saloon, have been. run- ning about $15 or $16 a month,” said Mr. MeGranahan to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “Il have been using gas for more than @ year and have always paid up my bills promptly.

TELL POST-DISPATCH OF ABUSES BY LIGHT TRUST The Post-Dispatch will be glad to receive from its readers specific casés of unfair treatment or dis- criminating charges by either the Union Electric Light and Power Co. or the Laclede Gas Light Co. This information will be turned over to Circuit Attorney Sager and Assistant Attorney-General Ken- nish to aid them in their efforts to obtain relief for the public from the electric light and power and gas monopolies. A comparison of bills now with bills a year ago is suggested as a means of determining whether lighting charges are increasing.

to put up an additional deposit, 1 went to the office and protested. “When I found that my protests were in vain, I offered to give as security a well-known real estate dealer, worth $200,000. The company told me that the real estate man was not on tts Hst of approved guarantors, and that I ‘would have to put up the money as security. I now have up $20 with the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Co. as security on my electric meter. His Money Ig Tied Up. “The North American Co., between the gas company and the electric company, which it will This is a hardship on me, for I get no bene- fit from the deposit, panies use the money in their business. “They promise to pay interest, but persons who have withdrawn their de- posits tell me they are usually confront- ed with a lot of extra charges and sel- dom get back.the full amount of their deposits, although they have always paid up their bills as they were ren- dered. “The gas company wants me to have on deposit enough to pay two-months’ gas bill. I never heard of anybody who was allowed to run up a two-months’ gas bill. Delinquent customers are usually cut off promptly when their bills are not paid.’’ Bill 129 Per Cent Higher. Louis Guyot, of 204 North Ninth street, finds that light bill dered April 10, 1908, 129 per cent higher than it was during the same month last year. Last year's bill was $11.40, while, the current bill ig $26.07. The meter readings show that Mr. Guyot consumed 228 kilowatt hours of electricity in 1907 and 3876 in April, 1908, an increasé of 6 per cent, or just one- half the increase of his bill. In 1907, according to his bill, he got electricity for 10 cents a kilowatt hour, subject to a discount of 50 per cent, or 5 cents a kilowatt hour, net. The bill for April 10, 1908, shows a consumption of 376 kilowatt hours, or electricity at a total cost of $27.44, or 7.3 cents a kilo- watt hour, subject to a discount of 6 per cent. It appears -from the bills that Mr. Guyot’s rate has been raised from 5 cents a kilowatt hour to about 7. Mr. Guyot cannot understand why his bill should have been more than twice as high as a year ago, as he does not see how he has consumed any more electric light. The usual rates for electric services for business houses are 11 and 12 cents a kilowatt hour, but the company’s own bill shows that it was rendering this service a year ago for 5 cents a kilowatt hour, at least in Mr. Guyot’s case.

Miss Cecilia Schwartz, a girl of 16, who has never held a revolver in her hand, said Saturday she had determined to ask Chief of Police Creecy for per- mission to carry a revolver. ~ince she assisted in identifying two men and a woman, accused of the at- tempted burglary of a millinery store near her home, 1522 Franklin avenue, last Sunday night, she has been in- sulted, she says, and she fears for her safety while walking along the Street. “I’m sure I could shoot a revolver,’’ she told a Post-Dispatch reporter, “though I have never handled one in all my life. Says She’lp Be Careful. “If Chief Creecy will give me per- mission to carry one I'll be very care- ful in handling it. He need have no fear that I would be careless, because, really it quite .frightens me to even think about it. But I would not be afraid, and if I had good cause I would not hesitate about using a revolver. “Certainly I would not look around for trouble. I don’t go on the street except when I have some reason to be there, and I always keep away from the kind of people who have been in- sulting me. I have been frightened, but if I had a revolver I would not be afraid of them. “It worries me, though, about where I would carry it. I couldn't very well zo walking along the streets with a re- volver in my hand, and, you know, women don't have pockets like men.

Lots and lots of men do, and they are not in half as much danger as women. I could weer a sash and put the revolver in that. It could be concealed in the folds of my dress and yet be handy for use. “T gaw two men and a Woman at- tempf to rob a millinery store across the street from my home last Sundiy night.

Arrangements for Funeral of Miss Shonts’ Husband Under Way.

PARIS, April 25.—Explicit denial that an overdose of morphine or any other drug caused the Duc de Chaulnes*® sud- den death here Thursday night, as hint- ed by some of the Paris newspapers, was made today by Dr. Jeanton, the police physician, who examined the body and officially certified that the young man succumbed to embolism of the heart. Of the correctness of this conclusion Dr. Jeanton says there is not the least doubt. Other medical men present at the examination corroborate the police physician’s statement, agreeing that there was no occasion for an autopsy or inquest and that the prompt issuance of a permit for burial was perfectly proper. Refutes Report of Death Outside. To published reports that de Chaulnes did not die in his apartment, but was brought there after death, and that bottles of morphine, ether and cocaine were found on a table at his bedside, Dr. Jeanton only replied by calling at- tention to the fact that a police commis- Sary fully investigated the case; not- withstanding the physictan’s verdict, agreed the case was one of natural death and dropped the inquiry. He would certainly not have done so, the doctor added, had there been the slight- est suspicion of suicide or violence. Into the stories that de Chaulnes was long a victim of the morphine habit, and that continued use of the drug had shattered his heart, Dr. Jeanton refused to enter, saying he had no means of knowing anything of the nobleman’s past, and had not the slightest reason, considering that he died naturaily, for investigating it. He was equally reti- cent for the same reason concerning conjectures that the sudden discontin- uance of the use of drugs proved so great a shock to de Chaulnes as to has- ten death. Duke Long in Poor Health. Inquiry among the young man’s friends shows he had long been in poorer health than his appearance in- dicated. He had suffered from several alarming attacks of faintness since his last arrival in Paris and some time ago consulted a physician concerning his heart. The official inquiry showed that the Duchess de Chaulnes, formerly Miss Theodora Shonts, knew nothing of the seriousness of her huSband's condition until his sudden convulsive clutch at her arms awakened her Thursday night. Instantly realizing from his labored breathing that he was at the last ex- tremity, she screamed for aid, but be- fore the servants could reach the room her husband had died in her arms. The young nobleman’s sister, the Duchess d'l'zes, and other members of his family arrived in Paris from the provinces today and they, with several members of the American colony, are with the*widow, who is completely pros- trated. Arrangements for the Funeral. The body of the Duke was conveyed at daylight this morning from the hotel] to the Church of St. Phillip. It was accompanied oniy by an un- dertaker and his attendants and the Duke de Luynes, a cousin of the Duke de Chaulnes and the official sead of the De Chaulnes household. The Cure of the church received the coffin at the door. It was escorted to the crypt and there deposited, after a simple blessing. The body will remain in St. Phillip’s pending completion of the arrangements for the funeral. It is practically cer- tain that the funeral and interment wil] occur at the Chateau Dampierre, the ancestral residence of the Luynes out- side of Paris.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—The “in- terests’’ and the _ senatorial coterie, working in harmony with them, have at least realized the: futility of their opposition to the Roosevelt policies. They are said to be willing to nomi- nate either Secretary Taft, if they come to the conclusion -that he can win, or otherwise to force President Roosevelt, willing or unwilling, to run for a “‘sec- ond elective term.”’ Senator Crane and Senator Foraker have held consultations with Frank Hitcheock and Charles P.

William J. Lemp, in’ motions filed in the suit of his wife, Lillian Handlan Lemp, for divorce, seeks to have ex- cluded from the case all charges bear- ing on his alleged attitude toward her religion. Lemp’s motions insist his wife's religion is not a proper matter to inject into the case. The motions, as filed in Judge Kin- sey’s court, ask that the allegation in Mrs. Lemp’s petition that ‘“‘plaintiff is a Christian and a Roman Catholic’’ be stricken out, on the ground that it has no bearing on the case. Mrs. Lemp charged her husband with having paid the funeral expenses of a ‘notorious woman,” and of having sup- ported the same woman before her death. He now asks that this allega- tion be removed from the case. ‘There was another charge that Lemp took his small son to his stables and permitted the boy to wifness the feed- ing of ilve birds to monkeys, the scene having a bad effect on his mind. Lemp asks Judge, Kinsey to rule out this charge also. In another motion, technically a mo- tion to make the petition more definite and certain, Lemp asks that his wife be compelled to give in detail the dates, times and places when he is alleged to have cursed her, when he. went away from home and left her alone, and when he is alleged to have tolaé her she had no table manners. He also asks that she be required to name the particular room in their home where a bullet from a revolver he was handling lodged in the wall. The motions will be argued before Judge.

CTS PARENTS: PLA 1ORSE TO SAV CALS IN FIRE 7 With Children on Their Backs They Crawl Through Smoke-Filled Room.

,.fax Otto and his wife, Mary Otto, carrying their two children on their backs, crawled through a smokefilled room to escape death in a fire which de- stroyed their home at 4880 Hamburger avenue, near the southwestern city lim- ifs, early Saturday. Otto was awakened by the crying of his 6-vear-old daughter, Edna. “Papa, papa, the lamp blew up,” said. Aroused from a deep sleep, Otto looked about the room, bewildered. A table on which the lamp had stood was in flames, and the room was filled with thick, black smoke. He awakened his wife and his 12-year-old daughter, Emma. Remembering that the safe thing to do to avoid suffocation was to keep close to the floor, Otto said to little Edna: ‘‘“Get on papa’s back, like you do when you play horse.” The child put her arms about his neck, and he crawled on all fours to the front door. Emma was s0 frightened that she could not flee from the smoke and flames. Following the example of her husband, Mrs. Otto took Emma on her back and crawled. There was no time to dress. The four escaped through the front oor just as the interior of the house burst into flame. Within 20 minutes the one-story frame residence was destroyed. Firemen ar- rived itn time to wet dawn the smolder- ing ruins. The. family was given shelter at the home of Fred Carter, 4876 Hamburger avenue. The loss is eatimated to be $1500 on the house and $600 on the furniture. ANNOUNCEMENT! The George Cousins Tea Co. an- nounce to thelr friends and patrons she

CHICAGO, April %.—Public protest against the high prices prevailing for fresh meat, particularly beef and mut- ton, is taking a form little to the lik- ing of the wholesale and retail dealers. Not in many years has the public gen- erally objected so vigorously to the ex- travagant values they are called on to pay for meats. The result has been a curtailment of the consumption on a scale not deemed possible a few months ago. Meat salesmen all over Chicago and other large cities assert that their trade has fallen off 3 per cent in the last month. The same complaint of poor de- mand is heard from shippers of live cattle and dressed beef to New York and other Eastern points.

He said they had never for- Riven him for becoming Governor with- out their permission “Now they preach harmony,” “But the harmony is the the burglar, w!o says be rob you; or the harmony of the pirate, who says, ‘Give up vour ship.’ I want none of that kind of harmony.” Gov. Wolk said this coterie of poli- ticians call him a disturber, but that all he has disturbed was their political aechemes. Filage Wave at Signal. In the middle of his speech the Gov- ernor formally announced his candi- dacy for the United S tes Senate. Ap- plause and flag waving from the stage and each of the four nNoors of the gayly decorated theater greeted the announce- ment. The Governor described the conditions in Missouri causing th® issues in the campaign of 1904. He said: “The conditions in Missouri were not different from some other States: laws were bought and sold like merchan- ‘yoy. - of the he said. harmony of still while [I dise; Senators chasing thousand dollar _bills "were not uncommon; the Lieuten- ant-Governor confessed to taking bribes, to. distributing bribe money, and re- signed; the trail of the unclean dollar Was everywhere apparent; gambling houses ran wide open in the cities: saloons made no pretense of obeying the law, and defied the authorities of city and State; winerooms operated with wanton boldness; the State was in partnership with racetrack gam- bling; a powerfyl lobby prevented the passage of laws in the interest of the people; elections in the cities were often the scenes of thuggery and ruffianism:; the police departments of the cities were political machines.” Although the Democratic party was mot responsible for these conditions, Gov. Folk said, it courageously assumed the responsibility for stamping them out. It took up the fight agaiust the enemies of the people, he said, and, as a result, corruption was eliminated from State legislative affairs. With the as. sistance of courageous men in the Gen- eral Assembly, all the pledges of the party ‘platform and the gubernatorial nominee have been redeemec, he de- clared, Tella of Pledges Fulfilled. The Governor maintained that the last Assembly enacted more good laws than any other in the history of the State. He called attention to laws passed by the General Assembly during the present administration, carrying out pledges of the party platform and the candidate for Governor; he called attention to the following pledge fulfilled: LL Promise to do everything possi! le to end the corrupt lobby. Fulfilled by th» enactment of a law making profes- - sional lobbying a felony, except when - - the lobbyist registers with the Secretary | of State. 2 4 *, Promise to enforce the laws against | _Jegislators” acceptance of free railroad passes. Fulfilled by ending this practice - and meking the use of a pass by a legis- § ome within the last three and one-half years unknown. 4 5 3%. Promise to end the “Indian. busi- ness” in elections in St. Louis and *tan- @ tas City. Fulfilled by holding four elec. tions in these cities in which there has : been the faintest suspicion of dis- ‘)a right of suffrage, to aspire to any office without the con- sent of any one other than the people. Fulfilled by the enactment of the State primary law. After. discussing the enforcement of the liquor laws and declaring that he preferred retirement from public life to any office which must ba through the support of liquor interests and after reaffirming that he had vio- lated no pledge in relation to ‘home rule” legislation, the Governor entered on an exposition of the senatorship. He said: “The United States senatorship from Missouri is an honor that any man might well desire and none would re- If I can be of service to the and to those who believe in the have been advocating by allowing my name to be used in that connection, I shall do it. If the people whom I have been endeavoring to serve destre me to continue the fight in of- ficial position I shall obey their will; if they release me from further official duties I shall fight on in private life for the principles I have battled for to the best best of my ability in pub- lic station. I want to win on the strength of my own cause and not on the weakness of my opponent. Says Fight Will Be Clean. “In my official course [ have offended grafters and gamblers by enforcing the law against them; I have offended pow- erful liquor Interests because I have in- sisted that the laws are just as binding on them as on the humblest citizen; I have offended great corporate interests because of the laws I have advocated new in the statute books; I have offend- ed many professional politicians because I have looked to the people, not to them, for suport. From the way these allied interests assail me one would think I was a public enemy. Am I a public en- emy for enforcing the people's law against them as I took an oath to do when I beca‘ne Governor of this Com- monwealth, or are they public enemies for defying the mandates of a sovercign State? “I care not ho-y powerful the elements of opposition may be, if the hearts and consciences of the people be on our side. It may not be essential that I win, but it is essential that I be true; it may not be essential that I succeed, but -it its essential that I keep the faith. “The prospect for the success of dem- ocratic ideals was never brighter than now. By democratic ideals I mean those principles embraced in the expression, “Equal rights to all, special privileges to none."” This maxim of Jefferson ex- presses every essential element of real democracy. Witb this rule for our guid. ance we can not lose our course, or be led into the quicksands of dishonor and despair. With this maxim as our chart, the infamies of privilege in every form ean be destroyed and unto all men there be restored the equal right that belongs to each, the fair and equa! op- portunity of every man to live and labo- upon the earth that belongs to all and enjoy untrammelled the gains of honest toll. “Jefferson's phrase sounds simple but it has taken generations for men to attain to a practical understanding of us wisdom and justice.

republic. When the states came togeth- er in convention to form a more per- fect union, each was as independent and sovereign as Italy or Germany is today. For the common good certain powers were delegated. The Federal Govern- ment derives its authority wholly from the people of the states, and beyond this express authority and what neces- sarily is implied from it, it cannot justly g£0. The states are limited only by their constitutions and by the power conferred on the Federal Government. ‘Many instances have arisen of late where the authority of the states to make and enforce just and reasonable laws has been limited or taken away. The rule has always been that the pre- sumption is in favor of the sovereign. Laws have always -been presumed to be good until found to be bad. Under the new doctriné a State statute is suspend- ed indefinitely by injunctian from the mere application of some special inter- est. The effect of this practice is to place in the hands of special interests power to defeat any State legislation they do not like. “Missouri Laws Embalmed. “No good citizen desires to be unjust to railroads, but they should be regu- lated and the State should not be left as mere subjects of their benevolence. Yet to this humiliating position the States are reduced. A _ half-dozen im- portant laws of the State of Missouri are now embalmed by the federal in- junction veto. In the course of years, when the cases are tried. they may be held valid, but they might as well be nullified at once as to be suspended by injunction until their vitality is gone. The freight rate law of Missouri, enacted three years ago, was a’ victim of one of these ex parte injunctions, and the case is still pending, unde- termined, although another legislature has come and gone since then. Some- tinje in the course of years to come, perhaps, the case will be determined. Would Curb Lower Courts, “There seems but one hope for pre- serving the dignity of the states. That is, for Congress to enact a law taking away from the inferior Federal courts jurisdiction in cases where corporations attempt by injunction to prevent the en- forcement of State laws. These corpo- rations. of course, as Justice Harlan says, should have the same rights as in- dividuals and domestic corporations, of appealing from the State Supreme Court to the Federal Supreme Court, and thereby have every right accordei to them that the Constitution gives, “The states create these railroad cor- porations; the railroads secure the right of eminent domain from the states; they obtain their charters from the states; the states protect their property through the police and militia. Shall the states, the creators, be denied control of their creatures? I know there are many who believe the time has come to centralize all power in the Federal Government except purely local regulation. I be- lieve, however, that the strength of this nation consists in it having been an in- dissoluble union of independent states.’ Centralization Means decay. “another needed reform,"’ the Goy- ernor sald, “is the election of United States senators by the people." Touching on the subject of deep wa. terways, he said he favored an isgue of Government bonds ‘for river improve. ment purposes, He concluded with this senionce: “To us seek ag a remedy for exiaiing eviig, not less Gemocracy, but more democra.- cy; not more money, but more man. nas wot more i. but more son.

The President has further agreed on Taft's behalf, it is asserted, that in case Taft gets through Congress the tariff revision bill, which he is known to favor, the Steel Trust shall not suf- fer. : Judge E. H. Gary is understood to have made this arrangement with the President some months ago. It is vig- orously denied by Secretary Taft, and there is reason to believe Taft knows nothing of it. Whatever the facts may be, it is well Known here that the Steel Trust is enthusiastically supporting Mr. Taft for the nomination. There is practically no doubt in Wash- ington that the anti-trust law will be less rigi@ly enforced. Henry W. Taft has taken care of that. Nothing more is heard of the heavy Standard Oil fine; the prosecution of Harriman has been dropped; the talk of tariff revision has gone by the board, and, if the ‘“‘interests’’ will be good there will be industrial peace until March 4, 1909. It is understood that the Taft man- agers knew nothing whatever of this deal and were disgusted by it. Taft himself does not seem to have been com- mitted to it. It is said not to be the first time that President Roosevelt has made an-improper political deal involv- ing Mr. Taft without taking the trou- ble to notify the Secretary of what was going on. Negroes Again at Work. The tide of negro !eaders has turned again toward the White House. Such visits ceased altogether after the Brownsville affair and it looked as though Taft would have to get along without a large part of the negro vote. Then Booker T. Washington, W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, and the most eloquent negro orator; Charles Anderson, negro Collector of Internal Revenue in the city of New York; Bishop Deerrick of the A. M. E. Church, New York—all these and others went to work among their people. Vernon did such effective work in his State, Kan- Sas, that he was elected delegate at large.

the probability is ble the meter, or its reading, may be in error. We yesterday tested the meters at the Christian Publishing Com- pany, and found the light meter 114% slow, and the power meter 444% fast. We have about 20,000 meters to read and care for—a very big task —and we would not be human if all the work was done without error. We are not infallible and do not claim it, but we are always ready, on request, cheerfully to verify a reading or inspect a meter, and we look to the public TO THE PUBLIC: You read our statement in these columns yesterday and now know that the Christian Publishing Company is not being charged as high a rate for electricity under our present schedule as it paid last year at this time under our previous rates. If the price of electricity has not been raised and a bill is higher, that more electricity has been consumed; but it is possi- to co-operate with us in this work. A city department to test electric fneters would undoubtedly be of great value to the public as well as to ourselves. | The public knows that the officers and directors of the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Company are honest and conscientious men, trying faithfully to do their full duty to the public, and that the policy of the company has always been to right a wrong or correct an error when it is shown that such exists.

“FIRST IN EVERYTHING.”

REMEDIES FOR THE LIGHTING INJUSTICE. To the average consumer of gas or electricity measurement by meter is always a mystery. When to this complicated. process is added ca- pricious and arbitrary discrimination by the cor- porations supplying the commodities there is certain to be not only bewilderment, but indig- nation. The essence of the charge against the North American Trust and its subsidiaries in St. Louis is that there is inequality in their charges. Fa- voritism in such matters necessarily involves injustice. When one consumer has an unusu- ally low rate it is morally certain that many other consumers will be made to pay unusually high rates. Operating in this way, a public service corpo- ration loses its supposed character entirely and becomes a bargainer, a cozzener and an _ op- pressor. It gives or it withholds, it yields or it advances, not in a spirit of justicé, but only as it is moved by the most sordid self-interest. In a sense, it uses the privileges conferred upon it by the whole people to bribe possible competitors with low rates while exacting exorbitant prices from all whose rivalry is not feared. There is a remedy at law for this injustice, but in the case of St. Louis the possibilities of re- lief are not confined to the courts. A year ago the Legislature conferred upon the city the pow- er to regulate all these charges. The first step to that end, which should have been taken promptly, is the appointment of a Public Utilities Commission. : With such a body performing its work {fntelli- gently and receiving the support of the Munici- pal Assembly, our public service corporations will not make rates altogether in obedience to their own whims and interests, dealing gener- ously with the strong and oppressively with the weak. They will have equal rates for all and those rates will be reasonable and not monopo- listic. 2-4 —____—__— WYMAN’S NOMINATION HELD UP. -“=o doubt senatorial courtesy will be at the fhosal of United States Senator Warner if he Jshes to hold up the confirmation of the ap-

ointment of Postmaster Wyman, but to what ond? If it be true that the Missouri delegation to the Republican Convention was delivered to Mr. Taft on condition that the St. Louis Postoffice would be delivered to the politicians, it is evident that the President was not a party to the bargain, and he is now and will be for some months to come a much more important person than Sen- ator Warner or even Mr. Taft. The nomination of Mr. Wyman will be con- firmed and the Taft Republicans of Missouri, with their eyes on the rising sun, with their ex- ‘pectations on tiptoe and with hope throbbing in every breast, will be reconciled to it speed- fly enough. No crying demand exists in this State that Senator Warner shall make a spec- tacle of himself.

PURIFYING THE SMALL BAKERIES. John Adams of New York, one of the speak- ers before the convention of master bakers of Missouri, which adjourned yesterday, was suf- ficiently appreciative of good work, journalistic and other, when he said: If you have filthy bakeries among you, expose them mercilessly. The St. Louls Post-Dispatch did a great work in exposing the dirty bakeries in certain parts of your city, and I understand there has been a mar- Velous change among them since the searchlight of that paper was turned upon them. But you must * not stor there. The Post-Dispatch did its duty in the matter of the unsanitary bakeries and it effected a won- derful reformation. In some cases the transform- ation has been complete. In nearly all great improvements are noted. As Mr. Adams says, however, the _ reform should not stop here. A newspaper properly in- spired can do much. It cannot do all. There should be vigilant municipal inspection and reg- ulation. The master bakers car exert a power- ful influence to that end if they will. —-- oe e—— CIRCUS!

Folk comes before the people of Mis- souri as a candidate for the United States Senate with a splendid record of things done and of promises kept as .Governor. There can be no stronger claim for political .advaneement than this. _ When Mr. Folk entered upon his duties as Gov- ernor political conditions ‘in this+ State were at their worst. Bribery, lobbying, corruption and greed were rampant. The cities were in the control of gangs. Laws were ignored and openly violated. Elections were riots of violence and fraud. The State was in partnership with race- track gamblers. In the cities the saloons were dominant. At the State capital and at every im- portant center of population the controlling ele- ments were practically lawless and public con- science seemed to sleep. | In’ the three years of Gov. Folk’s administra- tion, largely through his efforts and in the ful- fillment of his promises, a wonderful change has taken place. The lobby has been abolished, laws are no longer bought and sold, there are fair elec- tions, politicians no longer serve in police uni- forms, railroad passes have been done away with, laws providing for good roads, for the re- peal of the fellow servant injustice, for the re- striction of child labor, for the eight-hour day, for the establishment of public service commissions, for a State primary, for compulsory education, for the free bridge, for pure food, for the repeal of the infamous alum enactment, for the prosecu- tion of trusts, for the prevention of discrimina- tion, for the reduction of freight and passenger rates, and for the abolition of racetrack gambling have been passed, and from border to border laws have been enforced, good order maintained, taxes ‘decreased, expenditures wisely applied and the criminal and dissolute classes held in check. William J. Stone, whose successor at Wash- ington Mr. Folk is expected to be, is a product of the bad conditions which were thus done away with. He had an evil eminence among the politicians of those days as one whose concep- tions of party fealty and public duty were low and vulgar. He never assailed a wrong. He never risked a vote He never reformed an abuse. He was con- tent with things as they were, and so, though not personally dishonest himself, he hoped to profit, and did profit politically, by the regime or a dollar in a righteous cause. which.Gov. Folk and his supporters brought to an end. This is the essence of the Missouri reform movement. That movement was aimed at and still addresses itself to the interests which could find no better type of Democrat to represent Mis- souri at Washington than the man whose craft, whose devious methods, whcse uncertain courses and whose habitual preference for shady things and shady ways are all summed up popularly in the highly descriptive phrase “Gumshoe Bill.” ~The Missouri reform movement will fall far short of its object if it shall not deprive William J. Stone of the office which he gained by the favor of the old gang. The man most obviously fitted for the place and deserving of the honor is the distinguished Governor-—the man of serv- ice—whose record of things done in the State is the best guaranty of his future usefulness in the wider field of the nation. o6o-— A SUFFRAGETTE QUITS IN DISGUST. Mrs. Gertrude Barney, the Collector-elect of Montgomery, Mo., renounces her claim to the office and quits politics in disgust. No explanation of her disgust is given, but we -suspect the reason was that she had every- thing too much her own way. Being a widow young and fair, she could arouse no opposition to taste the real flavor of the game; she got a@ll the votes in town to begin with, against a mere man; they were willing to ignore the constitution in favor of her incumbency if necessary; and politics finally resolved itself into a sweet flat- tery and competition for her favor that palled on her like too much charlotte russe. If she had wanted to taste the real zest and vinegar of the game she should have been a harsh, angular and militant spinster running against another woman. is & a a PRESBYTERIANS AND PROHIBITION. The refusal of the St. Louis Presbytery to in- dorse prohibition is a judgment not in favor of liquor and intemperance, but in support of reg- ulation, restriction and reason. In the opinion of most well-informed men loca] option accomplishes all that State-wide prohibi- tion can hope for and it is attended by few of the abuses which invariably accompany the lat- ter. Local option admits of prohibition in speci- fied localities where public sentiment is in fa- vor of it and where its enforcement is possible. Prohibition outlaws the liquor traffic through- out the State and in places where the people do not support it the traffic goes on under condi- tions that grow worse with time. There are other reasons why prohibitory enact- ments are undesirable, but those advanced by the venerable Dr. Niccolls and supported by most of his associates in the ministry are suf- ficient in themselves to defeat the movement. its Op ir —_— a Count Tolstoy declares that he wants to spend the rest of his life in prison.

= ww LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Purity of the Race. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “American” is right. How a white girl can asso- ciate with a Japanese, Filipino or Chaniman is more than I can understand. The purity of the race should at all hazards be preserved and all states should fol- low the lead of the Pacific Coast states and forbid mixed marriages. No white person should marry a Mongolian. These people should be kept away from this country altogether. ANTI-MONGREL. a Scrubwoman Slavery. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The letter on cruelty to women that’ work restaurants was very good. I am sorry to say I have worked in these places ‘before I married. These poor women have my sympathy. Cruel is no name for it. They drive them them like slaves. Many of these women have three or four children to support on the small sum of $4 a week. Let the Humane Society look into these places and do something for these women. If some of the rich women would see how these poor women have to slave they would help them, instead of giving all their love to a dog. A FRIEND OF THE POOR. in Handy Man Out of Work.

I am sure there is some good person here who would be glad to furnish work to a good, earnest, strictly sober man, as I am, if we could come to- gether and locate each other. I am handy and willing to work at anything—shop, factory, cook, kitchen or teaming. I am willing to take anything that will af- ford support for my family, as we are in need. E. W. HARIN, 2123 North Fourteenth street. Acquainted With Only the Veneer. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The delicious seriousness with which one “Van Orten,”’ takes himself in your columns, as he rpo- pounds a question which you are satisfied to term “A Rich Man’s Quandary,” is really material for the facile pen of a modern Cervantes. I will hazard a guess that the young man’s favorite authors aré Richard Harding Davis, Robert Chambers and others of this ilk, who are only acquainted with the veneer of humanity and the superficial problems of life, such as this youvng fellow really deems to be worth while and serious. My advice to Van Biber Van Orten is to forget himself, to get interested in big things, in touch with the vitalities of human life and the ne- cromancy of certainties and actualities will soon solve his nebulous problems. “SCIENTIST.”’ How a Moncpoiy Works. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The writer expects to move from St. Louis on or about May 1, and, to his astonishment, his wife tel's him that she cannot purchase ice from’a certain con cern whose wagons stop at every neighbor's, an convict so reluctantly, unless she buy a book. I have been a business man al! my life, at least I flatter my- self to such an extent, but I have never heard of any such an ftron-bound, first-class cinched monopoly who would not take money tendered for a piece of any commodity they may have to offer. There may be such a thing possible that the ice company would rather donate their product than not have me buy a ook; if such be the case, would not want ‘charity,’ because I am amply able to pay for my wants, and I don’t want them to die of enlargement of the heart. ONE WHO 18 GLAD TO ESCAPE. Idleness Begets Sloth. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Ever and anon there is upheaved from the depth of wealth an awful sigh, which rolls back the waves and lays bare the decayed foundations of modern so- ciety. Such, certainly, is the unsophisticated wail of “Lone Tree.’’ This woman seems to be literally spoil- ing in her money. Society bores her, for fancy work she does not care and ordinary work—not being men- tioned in the letter is evidently beneath her notice. And to charity she seemingly does not intend to give any of her time nor her money, for, presuming that she is fairly intelligent, that must certainly have sug- gested itself to her. The fact is, with nothing to do, she is trying to avoid doing anything. And ‘‘Lone Tree” is only one; there are thousands of others who are in the same predicament, Now, while work is so scarce, how much suffering these people could al- leviate with their money, if they only would. A SUFFERER. A Family Expense Table. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have taken great interest in the controversy over the cost of living and I wish to come to the defense of “E. W.,"’ as my wife and self have been living for the past six years well within his estimate. I supplement a table showing our average monthly consumption of food and its cost. We have enough to eat and it is of good quality, and we do not de- pend on garbage cans, bread lines nor our neigh- bors. My salary is $50 per month, I am out of debt and have saved in the last six vears $720. We wear good clothing, live in a good neighborhood and in- dulge in some luxuries, theaters, street car rides, pic- nics, etc. Meat, once every day, twice every other GOS visetsccedycis 5s gh bat A Goedene waht hebhoe thi $ Potatoes, one busael ‘ Eggs, six dozen, less when they are high price Flour, fifty pounls Coffee, four pounds Oleo, four pounds Vegetables, canned Vewetables, fresh Fruit, canned, for pies and desserts Fruit, fresh Milk, condensed Sugar, cornmeal, ~I tf So SSsezaruazs a (| a or

THE WIT OF ARCHBISHOP RYAN. Stories Told By and About One of the Most Famous of St. Louts’ Sons.

RCHBISHOP RYAN of Philadelphia was formerly coadjutor in the arcb- A diocese of St. Louis. He is famous for oratory and especially renowned as a wit. George Barton, in the Philadelphia North American, retells these good stories about him: The Archbishop, when asked if he did not care to make some replies to a cockney English evangelist’s charges, shook his head decidedly. “Oh, no, no. I can have nothing to do with him.” “Why?" was the surprised inquiry. “Because,” was the calm response, ‘“‘he is the man who heartlessly ‘h’ out of home, happiness and heaven.” The pastor of a church in one of the mining towns was examining a little boy in the presence of the Archbishop. | ° "What is matrimony?” he said severely. The little fellow’s eyes bulged out with fright at the suddeness with which the question was put, and then he said mechanically: “Matrimony is a state of punishment to which some souls are condemned to suffer for a while before they are considered good enough to go to heaven.” “Tut, tut,” said the old priest impatiently, ‘‘that’s the definition of purga- tory. Why"’’— “Let the boy alone, father,”’ said the Archbishop with a merry twinkle in his eyes: “he may be right. What do you or I know about it, anyway?” drives the

In a lecture on crime in Ireland he told of a poor Irishman who poured into his ears such a tale of misfortune as he had never before known to be crowded into the life of any one individual. After listening in amazement to the poor fellow’s recital, Father Ryan asked: “Well, Pat, in all your troubles did you at any time think of committing suicide?”’ “Not upon myself, your reverence,’’ came the reply.

At a banquet he was sitting next to a distinguished rabbi of the Jewish church. The two ecclesiastics were personally acquainted and had met in pub- lic on many occasions. On this particular night they indulged in some good-na- tured raillery at the expense of each other. Presently the Archbishop, with a smile, turned to the rabbi and said: “Rabbi, when can I help you to a piece of this delicious ham?’ The rabbi never paused for a moment, but said promptly and with a smile that would not come off: “At your wedding, Archbishop.”’

Wayne MacVeagh, counsel for President Roberts of the Pennsylvania Rail- road, laughingly said that Mr. Roberts, who always traveled with his counsel, could get the Archbishop passes over all the rafiroads in the United States if, in return, he would give Mr. Roberts a pass to Paradise. Instantly the Arch- bishop replied: ‘‘I would do so if it were not for separating him from his counsel.”’

At a dinner one of the speakers said that in the part of Ireland from which he came all of the Ryans were rogues. Looking at the speaker, who is a lawyer, the Archbishop said: “It may be possible that all of the Ryans are rogues, but it is certain that all of the rogues are not Ryans.’’

John Talbot Smith says that on one occasion a well-known and _ esteemed priest called upon the prelate to ask for a vacation, on the ground that his health required it. As he was noted for his frequent absences from his parish, the Archbishop could not forego the opportunity of a good-natured dig: “The physicians say that you need a change of air, father?’’ “Phey do, Your Grace.’’. “How would it do, then, to try the air of your parish for a month or so as a change?’ :

Once he remonstrated with a priest whose silk hat had seen its best days be- fore the war. “T would not give up that old hat for 20 new ones,”’ said the priest; “it be- longed to my father, who fell in the uprising of °48.’’ “And évidently fell on that hat,” said the Archbishop.

While he was coadjutor to Archbishop Kenrick of St. Louis, Mgr. Ryan was approached by a friend one day who came to him’ in great excitement, saying: “Bishop, did you know that Smith had been elected to Congress?’ “Oh, well,”” said the prelate, encouragingly, ‘‘he’s young and strong—maybe he will outlive ag 3

It is not until the complete disillusionment comes to her that she responds to true iove of the one real man of the book. (McClure.)

The story of an interesting and useful life is well told in the new bi- ography of Alexander H. Stephens by Louis Pendleton. Mr. Stephens was Vice-President of the Southern Confederacy, but he long resisted secession. not as unlawful, but as inexpedient and unnecessary. Too much of a con- stitutionalist, philosopher and doctrinaire to be highly useful in war time, his influence upon Southern opinion before and after the war was patriotic and, wise. Ho was an invalid all his life, but his long and active career furnishes a wonderful example of real heroism, both in public and in pri- vate. Mr. Pendieton’s work is thoroughly discriminating. (Geo.

Merjorie Bowen has the trick of it. Her romance “The Sword Decides,” is that mixture of colorful history and fanciful interpretation which ab- sorbs a reader of light literature. Itis a story of contrasts. of woman's wile, of war, poison and pestilence. The scene is Naples. Giovanna, the Queen, is mad for power. She murders her husband and when Ludovie of Hungary, his brother, comes to avenge she begulles and defeats. The sword does not decide; the title is ironical. Man's weakness is the decis} - ment in the struggle. (McClure.) ve ele

’' Four thousaid Cherokee Indians died in the great trek from Georgia to the Indian Territory in 1838, Lest we forget, Thomas Valentine Parker reminds us in a brief history of the Cherokees. With no disposition to belittle any expediency which may or may not have justified our treatment of the tribe, he neverthe- less leaves his reader blushing hotly for our country. The Cherokees lived in the lower Appalachians. When the whites coveted their lands, the tribe was torn out of a soil in which the roots of affection had been sinking for centuries. Maybe that march to the new home beyond the Mississippi was the Baddest trek of them all? But, no matter, now; later, perhaps, when a better American hu- manity. will marvel that we could have done it—had the heart to de it. It meant families scattered, death on the road, children and olq People to perish by the march.

Street car fare In Holland is 3 cents, but the precautions taken by the com- pany to get those cents easly explains how they can do it. John U Higin- botham tells about it in his “Three Weeks in Holland and Belgium."’ The con- ductor, as the author puts it, “carries more documents than a congressman.’’ For every fare he opens an aluminum box about 4x6, and hands outa receipt If you give him a transfer, he places it in a leather pouch suspended from his neck. Every once in a while an inspector boards the car. He examines all the receipts, stamps them with a rubber stamp, and compares the result with the conductor's log. The chance that r-u will be overlooked by both the conductor _ and the inspector exactly equals the chance that the conductor wil] Knock any- thing down. As a result, it is customary to have your fare ready, and tip th conductor with a Dutch cent or two. (Reilly & Britton.) Bare

Be- fore I did so I revisited the little blind room in which my servant and myself had been for a time imprisoned. I had a strong impression—for which I could not account—that from that room had originated the mechanism of the phe- nomena—if I may use the term—which had been experienced in my chamber. And though I entered it now im the clear day, with the sun peering through the filmy window, I still felt, as I stood on its floor, the creep of the horror which I had first there experienced the night before, and which had been - aggravated by what had passed in mj own chamber.

vy Good Fortune Figures Largely When St. Louis Team Climbs to First Place.

By JAMES CRUSINBERRY 5 OME luck must come to every ball club. flash of it in the opening game on the ; Sox, and for that reason they are leading the American League today. The St. Louis Browns had just a ir own grounds with the White But it was the first time in the 10 games played that luck has entered into the playing and helped the Browns. Every one of their victories on the road were gained by desperate baseball. The team that keeps in the lead in the “American Leayue race must have a good break of luck, A victory such as that of vesterday soothes the ruffled temperaments of the players, who have strug- gled under a terrible strain. is guiding them, and lends them more One must give the’ Browns credit for fielding and Rube Waddell credit for most excellent pitching, too. Don’t for- get that these things held the White Sox down to one tiny run, so that when the flash of luck did come which sent but two St. Louis men spinning across the home plate, those two were enough for a victory, the final count be- ing 2 to 1. If it hadn't been for a high wind, that luck might never have entered into the game. High pop flies are ter- rible things when the wind is blow- ing a gale. George Davis and Fred Parent can tell you that today. It was the most delightful part of the game to the home fans to see George and Freddie sprawling to get under those high ones. But they weren’t equal to the task, and as there were men on the bases at the time and two out, of course the runs were coming over, for all the time the ball was in the air, the base runners were sprinting. How It Happened. One of the pop ups fell just back of the pitchers’ box, and Charley Jones trotted home from third. The other was a screamer and fell back in the grass behind the shortstop's position, and it went so high that Bobby Wallace raced If there hadn’t been two men out at the time, these runners would not have dared to run. But luck favored the White Sox, too, in getting their one tally. “Jigs’’ Dono- hue laid down a ground ball into right field that would undoubtedly have been easily gathered up by Jimmy. Williams: but Jimmy was going to cover the sec- ond base at the time, for Parent was racing there on a hit and run signal. Fred got clear to third on that play, and a smashing single by the once weak sticker. Lee Tannehi!., drove home the count, It was a pleasing victory to the hun- ary St. Louis fans. Something like eight thousand of them were present, although the rain clouds were threaten- ing clear up to the time the game be- gan. Otherwise the park would have been jammed. It has been a long time since St. Louls has been so prominent in the baseball world as she is today, and the lovers of the game are in ecsta- cies of delight. The Looked-for Winters. At last St. Louis seems to have a ball club that ranks with the topnotchers. The Browns went out on the road and slew the Cleveland, Chicago and Detrolt teams with such dispatch that the fans here were greatly aroused. Many couldn't believe the truth. But they all had a chance to go out and look vver the revised Browns yesterday and now they are firmly convinced that Manager James McAleer knew what he was deal-

ing in when he executed a couple of oe sitadiionetion ~-—- ~~ O8e@. a wae It makes them feel as if some mystic influence confidence to carry on the fight. trades last winter that broke up the old combination and put a team of aggres- sive fighters here that will take nothing from the best clubs in the American League. Two more games are to be played with the White Sox. This is the hard- est club in the league for the Browns to beat. McAleer has greater respect for the Chicago players than even the De- troit champions. The Sox are faster and stronger than last year. They seem better than in 1906, when they won the championship of the world. They have a half-dozen pitchers of high class. They have a fielding club nigh unto perfec- tion. They can run the bases like fire and on what we call “inside baseball’ thev are unexcelled. : But Manager Jones has struck an un- looked-for snag in the St. Louis club. He was forced to admit that in the re- cent series played in Chicago, when the Browns split even with him on a four- game series. He is more than ever forced to bow to the Browns, now that they took a tight game from him yes- terday simply by holding on in bulldog fashion and bringing all their powers into the play. Powell has been at home exercising his arm all the time the Browns were on the road. He is in perfect physical condition and they say he has more speed than ever. Some years ago he was a wonder against the White Sox players and if he flashes before them today with that old time speed, the fans here are going to start some- thing. Bill Dinneen, too, is actually ready for a game now. The day that the Lsrowns seem to be sliding back, Big Bill will be hauled to the pitching Slab and it is on this man that Mc- Aleér hopes for a pennant.

* YALE CREW IS HARD AT WORK Final Arrangement of Eli Eight Is Almost Completed by Coaches.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 24.—Half gales, which are unusual for this time of the year, have interferred with the Yale crew's work in the bay. In the absence of the trials, the first or varsity eight remains about the same as it was, with the exception that Miller at 6 and Graham at 2 hve gone back to the seats they held at the beginning of the year. In all these cnanges Griswold holds his seat steadily at stroke, Howe at 6, Rice at 3 and Auchincloss at bow. Capt. Ide stays at 7, where he will un- doubtedly row. The unchanging posi- tions of these men is taken to indicate a finality in their seating. At 5, 4 and 2 Kennedy will vet make a number of trials. Miller seems now to be the first choice for 5, and the chances arg that he can hold the seat against all comers. Robbins, Hunt and Graham are the best men now in sight for the two remain- ing port positions. Graham rowed in the 1906 crew, but did not create a favor- able impression in the race that year, and last year was beaten out by pn- other man. For these two positions, at least, there will be ahard fight. Crew Hard at Work. « The crew put in the whole of the present week at daily practice, but will have the first two days of next week to themselves. The crew as now made up, while it is pot ideal in its balance, is rowing well, but not so well as did the crew of a year ago. This is due in a measure to the weakness of the port siae, and to the correction of this fault Kennedy will give the closest at- tention in the next fortnight. The star- board side, with Capt. Ide at 7, Miller at 5, Rice at 3 and Auchincloss at bow, is good enough to hold its own with any crew afloat. Not so much can be said for the port side, where Griswold and Howe are the only rellable ones jus now. Griswold is not exceptionally powerful, so this leaves only Howe, who is, however, an oarsman of splendid ability. Good men at 3 and 4 will give Yale a crew equal or better in some respects to the crew which won from liarvard a year ago. The freshman crew training table was started with 29 men, a larger number than ha sever before been taken to a freshman training table. This is on ac- count of the large number of exception- ally good oarsmen now on the fresh- man squad. Six crews have been rowing for the last two months, and cuts have been made slowly because it was found hard to cut in the general excellence. JOHNSON COMES TO SEE BROWNS .

C. team a stiff argument in their dual meet at the Missouri A. C. tonight. | Up to last night the M. A. C. swim- mers thought the Pennsylvania would prove rather easy. Hopkinson of Penn- sylvania plunged 64 feet last night in the meet with Illinois, so that if he can approach that figure this evening he is almost certain to win. The water polo game this evening be- tween the wearers of the Cherry Dita- mond and Pennsylvania is expected to prove the best event on the card. The M. A. C. team is light but fast.

Although teams from Kansas City, Bonne Terre, Excelsior Springs, Doe Run and Granite City competed in the annual tournament of the Missouri Ten- pin Bowling Association on the De Soto alleys yesterday, none of the high marks of the tournament were disturbed. The Bruns Brothers of Kansas City and the Auditoriums of Excelsior Springs, Mo., rolled up scores in the five-men competition that places them among the high five teams. The Fern Glens crac«xed out a 2704 score last night, which places the team second, the Cabannes leading with 278/ pins. The Witter-Christens did not do nearly as well as expected. The win- ners of the third series in the City League being able to get only 2566 pins last night. The tournament will be resumed this afternoon and will close Sunday night.

T ly bear upon the proposition. HOUSANDS of fans, actuated by the desire to see what all this hurral over the Browns was about and to discover on their own initiative | for themselves whether the team was merely a spring morning the ball park yesterday with at least two positive opinions, both of They discovered that the eccentric : Waddell, was, in arm, the Waddell of old. They also found that H = is a better third baseman than he wasa second sacker, even in the days when glory, which he and Parent were side partners on the championship Boston team. Furthermore, all who saw the game were forced to recognize the wonderful combination McAleer has gathered to- gether in his outfield: a combination which for fielding, throwing and base- running excellence is not to be sur- passed. . These things, and the general de- meanor of the club on the fleld and bases, sent most of the curious ones home with the conviction that. the Browns are not being inflated and that their present form is surely of the first division, if not the actual championship variety. Has en All-Right Arm, ARPERS who have been hinting at the disability of Ferris’ arm and his general retrogression found no occasion to practice their vitupera- tive vocabularies at his expense yester- day. In fact they were forced to hide their heads as Ferris, active as a weasel, was a live wire throughout the contest. Nine assists are noted in his record and three put-outs make his total chances 12 for one game—rather a noteworthy erformance for a hasbeen. Moreover, erris got his little hit, as he has a habit of doing, at a time when it count- ed. This little man will plainly do. As for Waddell, h» spent the earitier part of the game getting himself into bad fecrapes throug giving bases on balls and then pitching himself out of difficulty again. In the fourth he idn’t succeed tin doing this and the lone Chicago tally of the afternoon was scored. But Waddell was hard to hit throughout. He lacked his usual strike- out speed, but his arm may be still a trifle off its best form. When he set- tled down to do his very best with the Browns one run to the good, the White Sox looked cheap. Round Out the Team. ERRIS, to the Browns, means a completed infleld; Waddell, a well-rounded pitching corps. And that spefis trouble for the Browns’ op- nonents throughout the year. One might desire a better catching staff than McAleer possesses; one

might wish Stone owned a better throwing arm; but for the rest tha club Is up to the mark. everses will come. doubtless; but the <a - great m are surel urking McAleer’s cohorts. j | Great Wits, or Madness.

Baseball is talked, played and fought over as never before even in the his- tory of Goose Hill, which gave to tke world Jack O'Connor, Jack Powell and others of note in basebail affairs. The jatest fad takes the. form of et. centric wagers and so far the support- ers of the Browns have . well.

BANK STATEMENT DISCLOSES SOME WONDROUS CHANGES

, ¢ * » Ss * Surplus Now Nearly $60,000,000, the Largest Figure Reported in This Week for Fourteen Years.

NEW YORK, April 2.—The Even- ing Post in its financial review says: “The bank statement disclosed some remarkable changes with $10,000,000 cash increase, which was three-fold larger than yesterday’s indicated gain. The actual figures showed almost as large a gain, while loans were reduceu $9,- 046,000, according to the same basis of reckoning. The surplus stands now close to $59,000,000, which is much the largest figure reported in this week since 1894. “The sort of profit-taking that often follows a two-days’ advance depressed security prices soon after the opening today. The stock market started with a further unbidding of the issues that yesterday's advance, but the de- was short-lived, and did a one-point rise in St. Paul and le ] monstration not get beyond Union Pacific, Reading, Amalgamated copper. ‘As soon as the touched for these shares there was general selling, which: soon unsettled the list and brought most of the lead- ing issues to yesterday's figures. The market was less active than yesterday, and there was little apparent pressure to sell, most of the offerings represent- ing profit-taking by those who had fol- lowed the recent advance. “Later, prices recovered partially, market becoming active on the advance, with heavy trading and a rather note- worthy rise in Pennsylvania shares. This movement imparted strength to most of the list, which in the last half hour of trading made up many of the early losses. The closing, however, was somewhat heavy. Sterling rules firm here, continuing unchanged at Paris, with indications of further gold with- drawals from this market next week. “The continued fall in money rates here as a result of the steady inflow of currency from the interior, and the pressure of funds that were formerly tied up in business ventures and stock market enterprises, shows that the ex- port of $30,000,000 or $40,000,000 gold to Europe would entail no hardship for the New York market. ‘The banks are stiN gaining cash from the Treasury, which has taken no mea- sures as yet to bring its working bal- ance above the $50,000,000 level. Indica- tions point, therefore, to a large gold movement unless the European inquiry for our bonds should broaden sufficient- ly to. take in a great many issues that are as yet unmarketable op the other side."’ It will take several that of Saturday to obliterate the gains made in Wall street Friday. ening prices as a rule were little rmmoved from the closing quotations, but in the final hour of the short ses- sion a reactionary movement set in, which sent the general list a large fraction below the opening figures. The course ofthe market is difficult to understand. For several days there has been aggressive bull manipulation in a number of the most prominent stocks, which on Saturday were suc- cessfully attacked and sent consider- ably under their-high prices of Fri- day. higher level was the sessions like
