> Boarman Wells, Mnglish suffragists are right when they charge that American women are jadifferent to the suffrage movement, and that American women would not vote the Post-Dispatch sent letters of inquiry to 150 women of St. ‘quis asking them the following four questions: 1. Would you vote if you could? | In your opinion are American wonten indifferent to the weman's suffrage movement? No. 3 Ought women to be admitted wholly or in part to the political privileges enjoyed by men? Would the exercise of the sivfrage by women be beneficial to them and to the public? Included in the list of 150 women are the wives of business men, wives of professional men, women who are leaders in society and women who are plain “home bodies,’”’ women who have made their mark in literature and in art and women who are kiown'simply as good housekeepers and good bread- makers, bachelor girls, club leaders and leaders in the union labor movement, women of wealth and women who earn their own living. Mrs. Cobden Sanderson and othe the In the list are women who foliow nearly all the different kinds of employment at which women work, such as stenographers, saleswomen and heads of departments in large stores. From these 150 women only 20 replies were received, which seems to’ answer very effectively the second of the four questions. Six of the 20 women who answered the questions would not: vote if they had that privilege. All of the 20 were agreed that American women were indifferent to the womail’ s suffrage movement. Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Finland, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. In England and Scotland there is county suffrage—that is, women in those countries may vote on matters pertaining to county affairs and on not other questions. In Ireland women. may vote for all of- fices except for members of Parliament. In Russia women have a proxy vote for a member of the Duma. In Kansas, and in the majority of Cana- dian cities, women may vote in municipal ater: tions. It is plain to be seen that the representatives women of St. Louis are indifferent to this ques- tion and if woman's suffrage is not to be granted here until it is demanded by the women of St. Louis it will not come soon unless the women take more interest in it than they do now. The replies follow: | ,i T present there is full ‘suffrage for women in | VRS. DAVID KREYLING. * Her husband is secretary of the Central Trades and Labor Union. They live at 3324A Pennisy]- Vania avenue. No. 1. Yes, I would vote if I could. No. 2. I think women are indifferent. No.3. Women and men ought to have equal privileges. No, 4, If women could vote it would be bene- ficial to them and io the public. ‘ MRS. PHILIP N. MOORE. Former president cf the Wednesday Club; a representative society and club woman; resides, at 3125 Lafayette avenue. The statement in your second paragraph that American women have no political aspirations and are indifferent to women’s suffrage, is, to a certain extent, correct. This arises from two causes, which will perhaps come out better in my answers to your questions. No.1. If the suffrage were mo. I should cer- tainly vote. No, 2. American women are to a large extent in- different to the suffrage movement because they believe that suffrage will give them no added power until it is limited to people of education and —. No.3. As a matter of justice, women might be admitted to certain political privileges, espe- cially where suffrage is applied to educational and property questions. + No. 4, Theoretically, suffrage would be bene- ficial to women who were interested in educa- tional and property matters, and would be bene- ficial to the working women in obtaining cer- tain rights upon which -t present they have no voice. Lastly, let me emphasize the remark I made at first. There is no reason to ask for suffrage for women until general suffrage has been restricted. MRS. CHARLES HERTENSTEIN. President of the Woman's Auxiliary, No. 29, to St. Louls Typographical Union No. 8. No. 1. I would not vote if I could. No, 2. Generally speaking, women are indiffer- No.3. Women ought only to be permitted to vote at school elections. No.4. In my opinion, women and the public would mot be benefited by suffrage. Me? deree MARIE R. GARESCHE.

In my opinion women ought to have all the privileges of citizenship, including that. of holding, office as well as the right of voting. Few women would avail themselves of the former privilege for women's sphere under ordinary con- ditions, viz., that of wife and mother, would pre- clude her from seeking office just as the vocation of a clergyman or doctor precludes him as a rule from political aspirations. Jf choice of circumstances impel a woman into another state of life, 1 see no reason why she should not aspire to a public office, even ,the highest, just as she might aspire to dis- tinction as an actress, an artist,or a musician. It is the lesson of history that when fate or acci- extent, ‘dent has forced women in prominent political positions, they have more often than not been con- spicuously successful. Witness Blanche of Castile, Isabella of Spain, Elizabeth 6t England, Catherine of Russia and Maria Theresa of Austria. . © sate grate te deeds cere

a woman should not often play a.double role. I can not imagine a more efficient member‘of a Board of Education or Public Improvement than an intelligent, educated woman who has raised a family and presided over a household, and who, freed wholly or partially from the exactions of both, is still in the prime of life and in full possession of ‘mental and bodily vigor. No. 4. The exercise of the ballot would be most certainly beneficial to women—in securing for them further rights than they now enjoy. For example, equal pay for equal work, doing away with the discrimination now made between the great army of women and men workers (partic- ularly teachers) as regards salary and official rank, a Qiscrimination based solely on difference of sex. As regards the general public, the in- fluence of the women’s vote in matters relating to education, public health and public morals would be very soon felt. American men as a rule are too absorbed in business to give much attention to public ques- tions that have not some financial bearing, but I will venture to say that not one woman in ten, if the matter were fairly brought home to her, would fail to cast a vote for moral or physical betterment of conditions that vitally concern her home and its inmates. Women might not turn out en masse to cast a presidential vote or decide the question of a bond issue; their political hori- zon would probably be more restricted than that of their husbands and brothers, but would it be less important for that?

No. 4. In many ways it would. The states hav- ing equal suffrage prove this. I cannot say that i approve of fighting for equal suffrage. Quiet, persistent effort is more dignified, more womanly. It may take a longer time to achieve results, but success is inevitable. MISS TEKLA M. BERNAYS. Author, scholar and newspaper correspondent, a sister of the late Dr. Bernays, the leading surgeon of St. Louis. No. 1. Not perhaps at every election, but when- - the necessary knowledge of men and measures under consideration would I exercise the right of voting, if I had it. I am perfectly certain that doin§ so would neither di- minish my dignity, decrease my modesty nor les- ever I could obtain SS sen what womanly charm € might possess. ) CHARLES GLRTEN. SILIM, the abolition of class and sex monopolies, is it not possible that women have a political pdrt to play, a civic sphere to fill, closely related to the home interests that must always be a woman’s high- est and dearest duty—a sphere neither so con- spicuous nor cutwardly so brillant as that of man’s, but that touches even more closely all that mikes for moral and spiritual growth.

Would say-that perhaps it might be wise to allow women to vote on questions affecting the education of children. In such matters, wom- en would undoubtedly take an interest. No. 4. I think not.\.In my estimation, the er place for woman is\in the home, and, opinion, it is regrettable that women have entered the economic field in competition with men in so many industries. It is, perhaps, unavoidable, but nevertheless regrettable, and giving women the suffrage would not mend mat — inf that re- spect a particle. prop- in my ns A een see me MRS, CHARLES R. SIDDY. A leading ne woman of Webster uroves, and an expert whist player... No. 1. I would vote at municipal elections, most certainly, and perhaps at State ele@ions. No. 2. Many women are indifferent <o the bal- lot, especially those who are not taxpayers. Many are indifferent who do not realize the strength that would come from organized effort by wom- en for the betterment of conditions which men do not alleviate because they are indifferent or are controlled by politics. -No. 3. In part. Ww". PORTRAIT MRS. JAMES H. WFARS. No. 2. It is true that American women on the whole seem less keen (or are they only less stri- dent, less turbulent?) on the subject of their suf- frage than their European sisters. As they are granted privileges not enjoyed by the women of other nations, as they are treated with great chiv- alry and unique consideration by American men, they may well be less aware of the wrongs of one-sex legislation and one-sex administration of the law. Nos. 3 ahd 4. Seeing the evils ensuing on the indiscriminate extension of the ballot to a'l manner of men, it would be wise to avoid mak- ing the same mistake with regard to women’s suffrage. If the privilege of the ballot could gradually and with proper restrictions be given to women, while simultaneously IHimitations of the male vote, looking towerd the elimination of present abuses, were introduced, 4 step in the direction of reform would have been taken. There certainly is injustice in withholding the ballot from educated, thinking, conscientious women, who can acquire, hold and manage prop- erty, who bring into the world, rear and instruct the young, the right of voting on sanitary, edu- eational, municipal issues of every kind. It is a mystery to me that the law-making sex, which claims, I believe, that in it the sense of justice is by the grace of God inherent, can stand idly by year after year and contemplate the re- volting spectacle of men of brutal instincts, alien, sordid, illiterate, exercising rights touching on women's most vital interesta, while women of

Curious, that masculinity, though never ces ing to assert its superiority over women, in- the perception of the humorous, does not see the g humor, the tersific irony, the ludicrous ec diction, in its conception of justice!

The National Prosperity Association, recently organized in St. Louis, is to address itself to a perfectly feasitile task. Its members are not vi- sionaries; they are practical business men. They are to promote confidence. They are to discour- age hafmful agitation. Prosperity must certain- ly be hastened and strengthened if these meas- ures succeed. Unless thought is given to the matter we will not fully appreciate the fact that political leader- in this country of late has deteriorated Most of our so-called statesmen no governmental problems with knowledge and reason. They are not students. They reject facts,, figures and experience. They appeal in the maini to the passions and the preju- dices and not to the judgments of men. The debilitating effect of this propaganda of excitement and hate is easily to be seen in Con- gress, where the representatives of the people no longer pretend to master a scientific question amazingly. longer discuss or, cial knowledge. In almost every instance resort is had to a commission. These commissions, appointed to investigate and report, are stand- ing confessions of ignorance and incapacity on the part of Congress. Such inefficiency has been the result naturally enough of an era of agitation, during which demagogy took the place of statesmanship and in which exaggeration, sensation, sophistry, malevo- lence and humbug usurped the positions where study, precision, justice and reason should have been enthroned. To be a demagogue calls for a small equip- ment. The demagogue is exact about nothing. He never proves his cage. He always speaks in the superlative. He finds a wrong and generalizes it. If he were to cure it his-occupation would be gone. His mind runs in shallow channels and the effect which he produces upon his fellow- men is narrowing in every way. For some years now a man who could de- nounce all enterprise as in some manner rep- rehensible and all wealth as in some degree taini- ed might himself be as enterprising as he pleased and as rich as ne could be and yet escape criti- cism. Some serious wrongs uncovered and pun- ished have helped thé demagogues, but it is not of record that, any demagogue has participated in the good work. ° If the gentlemen who have organized the Na- tional Prosperity Association -have tmade their purpose clear, they intend to array the business interests of the country against the idea that because commerce and industry here and there produce some great rogues, all energy, progress and wealth are shameful. They are going to discourage the idea that men who grow rich by agitation may on all occasions bring into ques- tion the character of men who seek wealth as a reward of industry. In brief, they hope to en- list an element of great intelligence and power against a force having little intelligence and no power save that which arises from misrepresenta- tion and misinformation. Properly understood and vigorously advocated, this St. Louis idea can hardly fail to have a far- reaching influence for good upon business con- ditions, upon the political thought of the coun- try, upon the amenities of social life and upon the character of our political leaders. It will silence the clamor of the demagogues and send them to their books to learn something useful. It will take rancor out of the hearts of men who have no reason to nourish it there. It will kill class feeling with the same blow that strikes down the arrant hypocrisy of the day. By dis- crediting the pharisees and agitators it will give men of honor and of information an opportunity to be heard. Political wrongs are not unlike individual wrongs. If we devoted all of our time and thought to denunciation of murder and assault end theft and forgery and drunkenness we should have no time to deal with particular of- fenses, and presently the idea would take root that we were all criminals of one degree or an- other. It is not the man who generalizes who ac- complishes results. The great achievements which ,the world applauds spring from specializa- tion, from patient research, from terrible toil and from an\unconquerable purpose. Agitation fs use- ful and. necessary for a season, but such a thing as\perpetual and professional agitation is not to be‘ tolerated. If the St. Louis movement succeeds pharisaism wfll no longer be at a premium; there will be no conspicuous man bold enough to suggest that all business is rotten and all money tainted; there will be room in public life for thinkers as well as talkers; the people will not be ad- dressed at al] times as though they were prison- ers in the box, and real offenders as they ap- pear will not then escape the judgment. sa FREE GOSPEL AND FREE CHURCHBS. The Post-Dispatch’s recent discussion of the decline tn churehgoing in a populous section where houses of worship are few has brought out the usual suggestion that in some manner and by somebody religion must be carried to the masses. As showing the form that these remedies fre- quently take it may be said that a pastor in the West End has written to the Post-Dispatch, of- fering to minister without charge in a downtown church, a people’s church, if some man or men of wealth will provide the building and pay its necessary expenses. ‘The fact that piety and benevolence have rarely taken this form is evidence that the judgment of thase who must have given the subject thought is against it. There is money for charity, for refuges, for missions, for hospitals, for Mbraries and for cheap hotels, but the man who will build and endow a great church for the free use of those who cannot or will not provide themselves with facilities for public worship has yet to ap- pear. Probably he never will appear. The sick, the hungry, the ragged, the wretched, often suffer because relief cannot be had, but no one who is inclined to worship need be without the consola- tions of religion. If he cannot go to church he may pray, read and meditate in solitude. Men > = 7 be moved by the presence of « indeed, any question that calls for some spe- ‘ and women who are not in the mood will hard- | Many peopleresent the fact that they are ex- pected to pay for church privileges, for they have heard that the gospel is free, but it may be doubted if a church which did not cost every one of its congregation something would be of much value, either to religion or to society. ~—se aA. wr} THE WORLD’S TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. In celebrating today the twenty-fifth versary of the purchase of the New York World anni- by Mr. Joseph Pulitzer that newspaper empha- sizes an idea as well as a most distinguished business success. When the World passed under the ownership and direction of Mr. Pulitzer there were in the metropolis journalistic personalities of the first magnitude, while he was comparatively un- known. His beginnings were small, but there was the dynamic force of an idea behind all that he did and all that he promised, and personali- ties that had existed without with wrong ideas soon shrank in comparison with the ideas or personality that was guided by inflexible princi- ple and purpose. That the World is now and for some years has been the greatest of newspapers is due in part to its favorable location, in part to its tireless en- ergy and lavish expenditure in news gathering and in part to the ability of its management, but in the main it {s to be attributed’to character and to service. It has grown by practice as well as by precept. It has kept truth and justice ever in view. No wrong has been too powerful, too “respectable’’ or too well intrenched to escape its condemnation’ and no victim of wrong has been’ too weak to receive its sympathy and support. In this there has been a splendid optimism as well as a courageous sense of duty and an un- wearying desire to be helpful, to lend a hand and to adhere to the right because it is right, in the confidence not only that right will prevail, but that journalistic’ foundations planted upon that Sedrock must endur The 25 years noW closed have been glorious for achievement that is worth while and for pub- lic appreciation that is without a parallel, but they are even more significant in their promise of future growth and usefulness. oo . THE SCHOOLMARM EVERYBODY LOVES. It refreshes human nature now and then to con- template that old familiar comedy of provincial life, of thé winsome schoolmarm and the pro- voked trustees; and we observe without surprise but with tempered complacency that a charming young High School teacher has been dismissed by the austere School Board of East St. Louis because her irresistible popularity with her pu- pils interfered with discipline. Nothing can rock an educational system to its foundations and shake a board of trustees to their boots like a really dear young teacher of a given disposition. Sometimes, indeed, the com- edy is varied and grave trustees themselves fal] sentimental victims to the chaos she provokes. But more often, as in East St. Louis, it is the schoolroom. If.there is ever a time when -the whole world (male) may be accurately said to be swayed by affection it is when ip callow youth it is exposed to the sweetness and excessive good nature of one of those peculiarly demoralizing creatures. It is fatal that the scholars all like her and none fears her, even to the dunce. Her amia- bility invites imposition; her smiles spell con- fusion. Whom she loveth she cannot chasten: her appeals are laughed away. She is all sun- shine and no thunder; the flowers grow for her and so does disorder. The hearts, rather than minds, of her scholars expand under her minis- trations. | Yet at a sacrifice of discipline, which may be left to harsher mistresses, mankind must be the better for her whose ingenuous sweetness and sympathies radiate throughout the whole path of learning; and he who has not loved her at some time to distraction has missed a singularly up- Hfting experience. The world smiles when it perceives her dis- missed from duty, knowing full well that romance begins where the comedy leaves off. Alas, she was not born to teach, but a wooer inevitably awaits her. ee ‘Yr = ™ = =” DEATHS BY CARBOLIC ACID. Of the 205 persons who committed suicide in St. Louis during the fiscal yedr just closed, 102 used carbolic acid. People who are at all familiar with this poison will never cease to marvel that men and women who are weary of life and its burdens resort to it with such frequency. By no other instrumen- ality commonly employed by those who would rid the world of their presence can a death of agony be more oertainly invited. Probably most suicides do not take this into account and it may be that they are ignorant of it. The controlling considerations are that the poison is cheap; that it is easily to be had, and that it is highly effective. Laws of various kinds have been passed for the discouragement of self-destruction, but they will not be of much service so long as the traffic in carbolic acid goes on practically without restraint. -_ -— i set i A SETTING ROOSTER AND A CLUB HEN. Untrue to the law of his being, a Maplewood rooster has usurped his wife’s place on the nest where she was setting ‘on 15 eggs, and in her stead the awkward and fussy fellow is going to endeavor to hatch out the chicks and perform the domestic duffes himself. If he does not make a mess of the whole thing we shall be very much mistaken. Let us dismiss him with a word as an obvious and hopeless mollycoddle. : Interest rather follows the ousted hen. Her legitimate occupation gone, what is she going to do? How is she going to kill time? Why, plain- ly enough, she is going to join a hens’ club.

The octopod cuttlefish, devilfish, or poulp, which we commonly call octopus, is an overrated fish. His reputation for flerceness has thrived on nature faking and ignorance which mistook mere greed for savage courage. Octopus vulgaris, as he is appropriately known to true naturalists, is a slothful lubber, mainly belly. He is fat because he feeds on lobsters, which are plentiful and easy prey. But he has been found to be timid when attacked by a real foe, and people on the borders of the Mediter- ranean actually catch him and eat him. Perhaps our far Western civilization has some- thing to learn from the bold Mediterranean shore- man. Figuratively, over here the octopus stanis for organized power with many sucker-bearing arms and of far-reaching capacity for harm. But we are likely to explode its awesomeness and discover its faint heart behind its fe-ocious hellv when we cease to be passive crustaceans and at- tack it as men. ca a en nn HG Gam ee...

The poltical destiny of the whiskered equine is too manifest to require comment. Manifestly, also, whiskers are not the only es- sential. The wisdom which they imply must be there too.

Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts rose. “I am perfectly willing,”’ he said, “if Mr. Davis will promise not to refer to anyone as a brazen serpent.” Mr. Cullom of Illinois rose. “T, too, am willing,”’ he said, “if Mr. Davis will cen- sent to omit mention of silk-robed, scriveling con- spirators.’’ “My condition,”’ sala Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island, ‘is that he cut out the O, God of Israel business.’ ‘‘And mine,”’ said Mr. Dolliver of Iowa, “is that he pass over the slinking cravens at the golden feet of Mammon.” Mr. La Follette of Wisconsin was recognized. * ‘My condition !s very simple,” he said. “I don’t want my attention recalled to the howling seavengers of plutocracy.”’ ‘And mine is even simpler,’’ said Mr. Beveridge of Indiana. ‘“‘He must not supplicate the Ged of Moses to lead us out of the wildernesgs.”’ Mr. Warner of Missouri was recognized. “Will the gentleman from Arkansas,” he said, “kindly refrain from the assurance that plutooracy, in ghoulf#h glee and ravenous gluttony, gorges its putrid stomach?’ “I'll stay this time,” said Mr. Foraker of Ohio, “If Mr. Davis will eschew all mention of Baal and Mo- loch.”’ “Se will I,’’ said Mr. Fulton of Oregon, ‘if when the gentleman commands us to stop, he will not claim to be doing tt In God's name, but let it go as his own.” Mr. Teller of Colorado was recognized. “The condition I impose upon Mr. Davis is that tn the event he finds it necessary to refer to the utter- ances of Chancellor Day, he will characterize them by gome more sanitary term than bestial vomit." “and I," said Mr. Smith of Miehigan,’’ will net con- sent to let him speak unless he shall give us his word that he will not abuse the editors of this country be- cause they press their pants.” Mr. Davis appealed to the President of the Senate. ‘But, sir,”’ be sald, “if 1 were denied thosé@ brands, terms and phrases, I couldn't speak at all.’’ “No,”’ the Chair reeponded, “you certainly couldn't: and I take it that the Senate refuses you the floor.” Drawing himself up in the haughtiest manner yet, Mr. Davis froze the hired men of Baal with a look, and sat down on a bent pin placed for him by 8 layful page. .

Lord Essex's first wife was a quiet, woman, who entertained rarely and her time in the country. She was as LONDON, gentle Engl): spent much oft little akin thought and tastes to Lady Meux as the present Lady Essex is, but she had more tact in hiding her antip- athy and during her lifetime Lady Meux gave her nephew a handsome allowance. Lady Meux, by the way, is only the aunt by mar- riage to Lord Essex, his mother having, been the sis- ter of Sir Henry Meux of brewery fame. Sir Henry Meux had a fine taste in beer and he built up a for tune estimated ay $5,000,000 or more; but his taste when choosing a wife was not so fine. He bestowed bis millions and his numerous town and country red; dences upon a mature woman of the I.ondon bur- lesque stage, whose dearest friend was May Yohe in the heyday of her music hall fame in London. The present Lady Essex has been too high and mighty to suit Lady Meux, who has not only ceased giving Lord Essex his allowance, but has signified her intention of leaving her money to a charming American girl who has taken her fancy. This is Ellen Beach Yaw, the opera singer, whose tep notes are as famous in Europe as in America. Miss Yaw is one of the sweetest-natured women to be found anywhere. She is true-heartei, unselfish. and Lady Meux tells her friends that Miss Yaw gives her more comfort than all her money. Friendship at Sight. She first saw Miss Yaw some five years ago at the old Sarah Sloan house, near Regents Park, where she was living with Mms. Guy Paradise. the com poser.

When Miss Yaw came back to London it was onlv to pack her trunks and return to Lady Meux’s to Stay. She seemed to be charming to all the motley crowd of guests thronged the Meux houses in the country and in Lon don, and she was a great drawing card for Lady Meux. The following year Miss Yaw declared that she sim- ply must return to her musical career and she made | contracts to appear in Paris and continue her Studies at the same time. Lady Meux followed her to Paris. her inthe Champs Elysees quarter, a. magMmficence (and taste) extraordinary bebold and turned it over.to her protege. Not content with this, she sent to San Francisco for Miss Yaw's moth- er to come to Paris for the winter and _ transferred to Ellen Beach Yaw’'s bank account the generous al- lowance she took away from Lord Essex. At the receptions in the American quarter and at the opera Miss Yaw dazzled all beholders with the gowns and the jewels she had received from Lady Meux. She frankly acknowledged Lady Meux as vas fairy godmother and tried to take gf daughter's place in the life of that erratic ex-queen of the burlesque Mage. Lady Essex Tries Laundry. While Miss Yaw was wearing the finest diamond necklace seen in Paris in the American set and every week appearing in a wonderful new gown. Lady Es Sex Was trying to recoup the family fortunes by starting a laundry in London. Her own small por- given her upon her marriage by her father. Beach Grant, was long ago dissipated, her husband being at that time secure in his prospects of getting the Meirx millions. The laundry project was a partnership affair with the Dowager Duchess of Manchester and several oth- er ladies of equally exalted rank, who took the po sition 80 popular in London today, that if you are really in society with a big “Ss” you can do anything and it closed down with all the partners at swords’ points.

By the end of May they will be arriving at the rate of 20,000 a week, and, if the passenger agencies are to be credit- before August more than 150.000 Americans will have visited Londen.

HEI » a This f1istoric Rush Was Made tn an Eva of Hard Times, Better to Be Without a Shave anda Change of ‘Socks in the Rocktes Than lt Was to Be Without Begns and a Change of Brewnbxead x Boston. CHAPTER XXI. 1649, HE year 1849 was the most versatile in the T history of St. Louis. Fire destroyed 23 big . steamers at the river front, cholera reduced the population from 64,08 to 60,000 and the Forty-Niners went through the town like a drunk- en man through a plate-glass front. The historic rush to California has never been generally understood. It was not so much that gold had been found in the West as it was that it had almost altogether disappeared back East. “It Was an era of national hard times,” says Charles ¥. Lummis. It is generally supposed that the Forty-Niners were a harum-scarum lot, largely running away from civilization, and even graver charges. Upon the contrary, they were for the most part re- spectable, and had never been in the railroad business, or even life insurance. They were not _ @s onery as they were hungry; not as bad as bust- ' ed, And they probably did not go as far, nor as fast, as we would have gone during the past win- ter, if gold had suddenly become plentiful any- where, as it did in California in 1849. It was better to be without a shave, or a change of socks, in the Rockies, than to be without beans and a ehange of brownbread in Boston; and a man who had not seen a-dollar in six months-in Philadelphia, could see Pike’s Peak from the Mis- souri River. The result was that the rush to California be- came a great ‘popular movement, like local option. John Evans Brown, who went from North Caro- lina to California in 1849, says in his diary that there were 150 people from Boston alone on the boat which brought him around to St. Louis from Paducah. He found the city overflowing with Argonauts. There were great camps of them all around the edge of town. The people from the different states traveled together, and camped to- gother. They were very clannish. Ifa Kentucky man shot at a Tennessee man, the Tennessee camp "their clothes, minutes after they landed they THE FORTY-NINERS THUNDERED THROUGH SLVER | INDIANS E.H, (RAIL) HARRIMAN TWAD AGEN 7 ‘Wj FOREIGN GOLD FEVER PATIENTS pw ee NOBLEMEN STANING Out CLAIMS PITTS BURGERS ran out and shot at the Kentucky camp. If a Pennsylvania dog whipped a South Carolina dog, the South Carolina camp went over and licked the Pennsylvania camp. These people mostly came down the Ohio and went out on the Missouri River boats to Inde- pendence, where the trek began. They bought. arms, ammunition, etce., in St. Louis, and their live and rolling stock at Inde- pendence.’ A boatload of them hit the St. Louis wharf in the summer of 1849 every other minute. Four were uptown in a hardware store fitting their hips to a pair of six-shooters and selecting a rifle that would scramble an Indian’s brains at five-eighths of a mile. You could sell them anything they were not likely to need. Many of our present-time St. Louis fortunes were founded in those days upon the rep- resentation that while it was barely possible that you would not need it, still, if you did want it, you would want it bad. THE GREAT GOLD RUSH OF 1849. The rate from St. Louis to St. Joseph was $7. The last passengers on board had to ride near the boilers, which generally blew up. The fare in- cluded meals, if you were willing to leave a place of safety and run the risk of losing it while ‘you ate in the cabin. The steamers tied up at night. If you felt that you couldn’t wait till you reached California to get rich, there were several poker games aboard. Mr. Brown says in his diary: “This morning we were all aroused by cries of fire! The stove had fallen over. It was red-hot, and had set the boat afire. With reat presence of mind, several men threw wet blankets upon the flames and smothered them.” This was not customary. Usually, the boat burned, and, with equally great presence of mind, everybody seized a plank, a hencoop or a stick of wood, and put over the gunwale. However, fire was little feared by the great multitude which poured in and out of St. Louis in 49. The blow-up was what kept them con- stantly recalling that they were mortal. As the Irish fireman on a Mississippi steamer said: “Faith, ‘n there’s no compar’son at all ba-a- tween ‘a steamboat explosion an’ a_ r-railroad wreck. In a r-railroad wreck, yem are there, iv course; but in a steamboat explosion, where th’ hell are ye?” CHAPTER XXII. The Great Trek. HERE was grim stuff in the great horde t which swept through St. Louis in 1849. Lummis tells us that five Frenchmen, being unable to buy livestock, took their supplies up to Independence on a steamer, loaded them into a light wagon and pushed it all the way to Cali- fornia, a distance of 3000 miles. Another adventurer, being even poorer, put his few belongings into a wheelbarrow, which he trundled from the Missouri. River to the Pacific. He-saw Indians, and they saw him; not molested. Savage as sense of humor would not permit him to attack a wheelbarrow. He would shoot up a prairie schooner, but when a wheelbarrow creaked past, with a hardy pusher between the shafts, he could only sit his war pony and grin. There was a limit. The California gold rush was the greatest movement of humanity in history. It beat the exodus out of Egypt, the race to the Klondike, or the famous crush at Chicago to see the White Sox beat the Cubs. ‘Fee, Kirkpatrick counted 459 westbound teams with- in nine miles. Bartlett saw 100 deserted wagons along the trail through New Mexico and Ari- zona. Brown says that when he and his com- panions reached the ferry at Green River, they found 42 wagons in line ahead of them, and did not get across for 24 hours. The piains Indians largely desisted from huni- ing the buffald; and hunted the Argonaut. If the caravan was too large, they contented themselves bs sT. . into. ee 2 cae Hlumorous Incidents *¢ Great Trek Ac oss. z Prairies, Where FP Frenchmen Pushed H andwagon From sourt to the.

BY ANITA MOORE. NEW and dreadful disease is epidemic A among the women of St. Louis. It has ’ been captured and named by the doctors. It is “Merriwiditis.”. The symptoms—mild at first—become more and more severe as long as the contributing cause is not eliminated. They consist of a gradual inclination of the neck to the front, a stiffness of the cords of the neck, sharp, shooting pains along the mass—of nerves: centering in the spinal column where it enters . ’ the brain. Another strongly marked symptom is in the involuntary stooping of the shoulders and the constant clenching of the hands as if in great agony. Seven-eighths of the women in town are af- flicted with the disease, either in its incipient form or in its secondary stage. What the subse- quent stages are to be is as yet unknown. None of the cases under observation have progressed much further than incipiency. The good doc- tors are watching the developments with much interst. The men of. medicine are greatly concerned about “Merriwiditis” because, knowing the fem- inine disposition, they, know that the disease will continue epidemic until early in the fall— four more months. “Merriwiditis” has for its direct cause the wear- ing of the merry widow“hat. This is no joke— not even a pleasantry. It is cold, painful fact. I interviewed several eminent physicians and they all agreed, and furthermore they all declined to allow me to use their names because they all had wives, and their wives all had merry ‘widow hats. The merry widow hat has sich an enormous spread of plane surface that even the mildest zephyr causes it to tug at its moorings on top of the wire bird cages which the women now use te build the “Puffy-Puffies” coiffure over. This tugging forces the wearer of the bird cage and the aeroplane hat to stick her head forward at an angle of 45 degrees, with every muscle stiff and set, the spinal column and spinal cord at dead strain. Result: Siiff neck, swollen glands, strained muscles, nerve shootings, the doctor, “merriwid- itis,” three kinds of medicine, including two kinds of bromide, bil for $18, and then the new “Mob” hat. This last is the only real cure for the “Mer- riwiditis.” _ But ~~ : ake is not malian only disq rieting | the y merry . widow ae rop the streets wildeyed. They are scared into a form of imbecility by the constant danger of either decapitation or some form of mayhem by the edges of the merry widows. If their throats are not cut, they feel sure that the next hat they pass will surely rip out an eye. The hor- ror contained in the constant threatening of the sword of Damottes of olu, was nothing compared with these dife threateners§ That was only one sword; maybe it would not cut after all. These are a long-drawn-out, cdntinuing, eyer-present menace. They begin when the car stars early in the morning—one at least to each seat. The downtown reese ee ee pact -, man takes runs gents the saw-like t one of ot thet, and : ~ins' “ damaged eye, ‘ blance, to a box of sardines. ated cheek, a cut nose, a long scalp wound or a if the unfortuhate man does not have his throat cut from ear_to ear. is the mother of. invention, and some genius has already invented and patented a wire shield— much after the fashion of the mask worn by the football players—as per illustration herewith. It is called “The Merry Widow Hat Guard,” and sells for $3 each; but it is worth the money. “The Merriwiditis’” and the endangering’ of the life of mere man is not the only harm and trouble that the merry widow hat has caused.

NEW CHURCH “MARKS PASSING OF ST.KEUINS -

Archbishop Glennon Will Ded- icate Structure of Immac- ulate Conception Parish.

MONUMENT TO PRIEST

Father Shea Credited With Having Brought. About Erection of Building.

Archbishop Glennon the new Catholic Church of the Im- maculate Conception at Longfellow boulevard and Lafayette avenue to- day. This will mark the passing of St. Kevin’s parish and the transfer of its center of activity to a new field under a new name. The Church of the-Immaculate Con- ceptior, bullt at a cost of $200,000, will be one of the handsomest places of worship in St. Louis. In chureh circles it is regarded as a monument to the zeal of the Rev. Father Edward J. Shea, who for sev- eral vears has been pastor of St. will dedjcate ‘Kevin's. The plans were drawn by Barnett, Haynes and Barnett, architects of the new Cathedral. It is a pure example of that style of church building known as the “Early English.” Large Seating Capacity. It is on a broad, high terrace, ap- proached by three large flights of steps flanked by heavy buttresses, leading to three entrances, the main one of which opens into the lobby with an artistically designed baptist- ery on the left and a tower and stair entrance on the right. The auditorium is reached through five large double deors. -The seating capacity is unusually large as there is a gallery in addition to the pew space on the first floor. There are two wide side aisles. Gothic arches of unusual treatment give the main nave more of an au- ditorium effect than is usually found in churches of the early English style. Celumns of Sienna marble, resting on bases of Alps green marble and capped in decorative Gothic designs, greatly add to the beauty of the inte- rier. Choir Left in Rear. cheir left at the rear of the church, above the entrance, is one of the largest and best appointed in St. Leuls. On either side are commodieus music rooms. Marble steps and tile floor give an effect ef unusual spaciousness to the sanctuary, which is large enough fer the most elaborate ceremonial. All ef the furnishings of the interior are of old English eak of a special design, which harmonizes with the ar- chitectural peried ef the church. The stations ef the cress are in clear re- lief, with eak frames. There are large and commedioeus sacristies and the church has its ewn heating and lighting plant in the base- ment. The heating wi.. be by low pressure steam and the auditerium will KOKOMO WOMAN GIVES FORTUNE To Help Women Who Suffer. In the past few years Mrs. Cora B. Miller hes spent $125,000. in giving medical treat- ment to afflicted women, Sometime ago it was announced in these columns that she would send free treatment to every woman who suffered from female diseases or piles, More than a million women have accepted this generous offer, and as Mrs. Miller ts still receiving requests from thaensands of women from all parts of the world, who have not yet used the remedy. she has de- cided to-continue the offer for awhile longer, at least. This is the simple, mild and harmless weparation that has cured so many women “ the privacy of their own homes after doc- tors and other remedies failed. It is especially prepared for the speedy and permanent cure of female complaints, tumors; also pains in the head, back and bowels, nervousness, melancholy, desire to cry, hot flashes, weariness and piles from any cause, or no matter of how long stand- ing. Every woman sufferer, unable to find re- lief, who will write Mrs. Miller now, without delay, will receive by maf] free of charge, a 60-cent box of this simple home remedy, also a book with explanatory illustrations showing why women suffer and how they can easily cure themselyes at home without the aid of a vhysician.

At any Ate, the figures in this field certainly show the managerial estimate of popular taste. Of the productions seen at the Olympic, Century, Garrick and this St s@ason, 5 were musical comedies, 21 mere o~ less serious dramas, 17 light ‘comedies, four tragedies, there was one engagement in Shakspearean repertoire, two minstre! shows and twe fantastic or fairy plays. - Te theughiful persons whe wish te see American drama lifted to a higher plane than has been eccupied for some years past this showing should bring & modicum of comfort. There have been seasons when the prepertion ef musical c sdy offerings was far heavier than now, and, especially, when there was a Pibeatly decreased offering of serious plays, or plays written along worthily am- *bitious lines. In more than ene instance this past seasen the quality of new edramas offered was full ef premise for the near future. Among the lighter com- ies there were found signs of a willingness te abanden crude and puerile meth- ef funmaking. There is good ground fer hope that next season's showing will even better in the right direction. | American managers are not se afraid ef earnestness as they ence Odeon were. F the musical cemedies, “The Red Mill’ and ‘‘Mile. Modiste’’ were easily the best. The latter we had seenduring the preceding season, when ‘“‘The Red Mill” was scoring a season’s run in New York and being accepted as biggest musical comedy hit of many years, but, fer all that, ‘‘Mile. Modiste’”’ ll holds first place for high-class merit in the tunefulness of its score and everness of its lines. ‘'The Red Mill,’’ hewever, is an excellent second, me authors, Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert, no one's feelings hurt in judging between them. And each was incemparably above all other musical comedy preductiens seen on the St. Louis stage. They made certain musical plays imperted from London seem especially dull and lifeless by mparison. The moral. ef which is that New Yerk managers will do well te ly mere confidently upon American composers and librettists for the best eut- put in this field. And this is being done, at any rate, by Fritzi Scheff’s Blossom-Herbert work for her use is announced as now under Surburban’s Piays and Pliayers. The first offering of the Suburban season wiil be Virginia Harned in “Trilby,’’ the Du Maurier play in which she and Wilton Lackaye rose to star- dom some vears ago. William ),Courte- nay will be Miss Harned’s leading man. The Suburban company consists ef J. Gordon Edwards, stege manager; A._H, Van Buren, regular leading man; Harry Fenwick, Walter B. Gilbert, James A. Bliss, Gordon Mendelssohn, Thomas Ir- win, Wilson Hummel, Percy Pollock, Ida Adair, Adelyn Wesley, Eda Bruna, Zora Wetherspoon, Angela McCaull and Nellie Bright, with a number of extra players for the bigrer productions. During Miss Harnéd’s engagement she will appear in ‘“‘Trilby.”’ “Anna Karen- ina’ and “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.” It is expected that she will be fol- lowed by Amelia Bingham in a five- weeks’ engagement, the Oppenheimer Brothers feeling sure that Mrs. Bing- ham’s health, will have been restored by that time. The Bingham engagement will open with ‘‘The Sporting Duchess,” HENRIETTA CROSMAN, are by the can be and, as both manager, as a way. MONG the plays of serious impert, or notably ambitious effort, the most distinguished offering was that of Mme.

Crane found a successful medium in ‘‘Father and ‘the Boys,’ which, although somewhat trivial, was wholesomely humoreus and “gave Mr. Crane a reasonably fair chance for good werk. Since its St. Leuis en- “gagement ‘Father and the Boys’ has made a distinct hit in New York, where it is still running to crowgled heuses. . “My Wife,” the pleasant little play in which John Drew introduced te us Migs Billie Burke as his leading weman, was mainly netable for the fact that Miss Burke developed into the real star of the production.

HP four tragedies, exclusive ef these of Shakspeare in which Mr. Man- tell was seen at the Olympic, were Ibsen’s “Rosmersholm,”’ presented by Mrs. Fiske, ‘‘Pelleas and Melisande’”’ and ‘‘Hedda Gabler,’’ in which Sonstance Crawley played an Odeon engagement, and the ‘‘Virginius” of Mr. | Mra, Fiske’s pertrayal ef the appalling Rebecca West was an unferget- ‘table-eréation in herror.

Mr. O'Neill's Virginius was a conventional interpretation according to the Ueghts of the old scheol. eee ———— a cc GAIN this season, as last, Mr. Mantell’s Lear constituted his most im- pressive achievement.

LTHOUGH neither the Metrepolitan nor the Manhattan grand opera er- tA ganizations were heard here during the season, there were two réason- *% ably satisfying operatic engagements. ‘The better of the two was that of the wonderful little Milan company, which geht te us a number ef good singersand gave an illustration of excellent ring for love of the work that was simply a delight.

She tells him that he has had experi- ence of all phases ef life and has tired of ail the really interesting part of ex- istence befere he married her. Yet he expects her te shew no mere concern about these things than he does. She declares hjs attitude to be unfair and unreasonable, and frankly confesses that she finds his young cousin, Adhemar, far more romantic and diverting than himself. When the husband brings his wife to task abeut the tee bold attentiens of this same ceusin, Adhemar, she impu- dently declares her wish fer a diverce, and her intention of marrying Adhemar. The husband is far toe wise to openly eppose the whims of his spoiled child- wife, and pretends te be in hearty sym- pathy ‘with her wish to marry the cousin. He sets abeut planning how to grant her the ceveted diverce, and gives her to Adhemar so frankly and freely that the jealousies of the young wife and the misgivings ef the young lover are equally aroused. Finding the positions of the two men suddenly reversed, the wife, Cyprienne, begins to look upen the cousin with the same ennui which she formerly felt for the husband, whereas the romantie pos? sibilities of the husband ‘are greatly enhanced in her eyes, now that she no lenger feels herself a permanent part of his life. So rapidly does her new interest in her husband develop that she is soon planning secret escapades with him, and stealing away to the private room of a littie cafe, where she and her husband may dine undisturbed by the intrusion of her now despised Adhemar. In the complHcations which ensue she comes to un@derstand that the husband's only fault was in being the husband, whereas the lover’s only virtue was in being the lover, and the curtain falls upon the cheery reconciliation of the husband and wife, and the ludicrous discomfort of the foolish young lover. Miss Geerge is said to give a brilliant portrayal of.the role of Cyprienne, the young wife, and Mr. Frank Werthing plays the part of the husband with fine effectiveness. The supporting company is well cast. Henrietta Crosman begins a week's engagement at the Century tenight in “The Country Girl,” a sparkling English cemedy written by William Wycherly in the seventeenth century, revised by Da- vid Garrick nearly a hundred years later, first produced in this ceuntry by Augustin Daly. and now adapted for Miss Cresman's use by Maurice Camp- bell.

- the several utilities in St. Louis. 000 for Expenscs. of Delegates will receive $25, The House from the City Council this week a bill which gives the Mayor authority to create a commission of five, who shall investigate, through an expert, the w hole qgiiestion of rates and serv ice given by As one of its provisions this bill carries an ap- propriation of $25,000 for expenditures, in- cluding the salary of specialists. Soine excuse for failing to consider the Council's measure must be ready for the combine. Priesmeyer has sup- lied one. The Council will accept no proposi- tion which involves the participation of the. House, either in the membership Or appointment of a commiasion. Some founcilmen openly say that they might not like a commission named by Mayor Wolls. -Nearly all have confidence in Commissioners chosen by the House. Mayor Welis would be just as stubborn- ly opposed to the combine’s voice or in- fiuence in the commission. Knowing the attitude of-the Coun- ¢il and Mayor, therefore, the combine Proposes what it earnestly hopes will never be accepted—a plan to give the House representation among the com- * That the combine has no intention to help create a commission, except urder great pressure, is shown plainly enough by its record in the last session. Three bills—oneé of them by Dwight Davis, an- Other by Hussey, and the third by Speaker Conran—were presented for consideration in July and August of last y.ar. A fourth passed the Council and teached the House nearly three months ago. None of the bills ever got any further than reference to committee. The same men who controlled the destinies of legislation then are _ in command of the situation now.

TAMING OF Tht MISSOURI, GOAL OF RECLAIMERS President Will Show Govern- ors Possibilities for Errat- ic River.

CLEAR AND FLOODLESS

Never a Sand Bar From Mouth to Headwaters, Water Good Enough to Drink.

WASHINGTON, May 9—If the resi- dents ° of St. Charles should wake up some. morning to find clear water in the Missouri River, if the steamboat- men should make.a trip from St. Louis to Kansas City’ return without and striing’ a bar,, if- the Bottoms farmers should. live ‘through a-year without a flood, they woutd all be amazed: But» that’s the picture President Roosevelt is going to draw for the ernors when they meet ten cavs to discuss conservation of national re- sources. The experts of ice have prepared the figures to prove the picture and they expect the gov- ernors to sit up and take notice when the possibilities are shown. Here is the scheme to accomplish this result as it appears on paper: Five dams are to be built on the head- waters of the Missouri. Their construc- tion has already begun. They are on the Milk and Sun River in Montana, the Shoshone in Wyoming, the Belle Fourche in South Dakota and the North Platte in Wyoming and Nebraska, all tribu- taries of the Missouri and sources of its tloods and its mud. The dams are for irrigation purposes and the stored up waters are to make 1,000,000 acres of land in the Far West productive. Will Tame the Missouri. Incidentally they are to make the Mis- sourl a nice, tame gtream full ef water almost fit to drink. The five dams, according to the ex- perts, will hold 112,636,141,200 cubic feet of water. This they figure is all the flood wateP8which the five rivers pro- duce and send inte the Missouri every year, causing its rampages and filling it with mud and silt. In the flood seasens the waters will be caught behind the dams instead of being allowed to run :-vay and destroy mil- lions of dollars in property. They will be held until the dry sea- sons, when they will be let out into the irrigating ditches, whence gradually they will return to the streams. As a result, the old Missouri, the ex- perts figure, will not go dry in summer. the dams will ‘old the flood waters un- til the dry seasons, and then release them gradually and without the mud, keeping the flow about the same, the year around. But befere. it. gets. away. from . the dams, the water will be used also to generate power for electrical plants, to supply light and heat to the farmers in EEE FAT FOLKS FAVOR Home Mixture That Takes Off the Fat Rapidly—Causes No Wrinkles —No-~-Stomach Ills and Requires Neither Dieting Nor Exercise, Too much fat is both uncomfortable and dangerous, but usually fleshy people prefer to put up -with: inconvenience - rather: than punish themselves with the tiresome exercis- ing usually prescribed, or endanger their health by taking the so-called ‘‘cures’’ and patent fat ‘‘reducers.’’ his self-sacrifice of comfort and health to overabundent fat is entirely unnecessary, however. as Mrs. Luella Bigger tells us there is a home receipt that is far superior in every way to role Ea money will~buy for reducing suverfluous flesh. It is said this siniple mixture will take. the fat off of man or woman at the rate of at least a couple of pounds a week without even causing wrinkles. Moreover it does not disturb the stom:ch, but it is a good thing for the sys- tem, clearing away pimples, and, best of all, it does not interfere with the diet. You can vse it and at the same time eat what- evor you like.. This receipt is as follows: — % ounce. Marmola; % ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. and.3% ounces of Syrup Simplex. Get these ingredients at any drug store. mix them together at home and take one teaspoonful after each meal and at bed- time. Mrs, Bigger, as is well known, is a famous beauty expert, ahd whatever she recommends is sure to be found eminently satisfactory.— Z£ovVe the reclamation serv-

AEACHER WILL CELEBRATE 21

Memorial Sermon Will Be Delivered by the Rev. John F. Jonas. HE GETS A SURPRISE —_—_oe_—————— Independent Evangelical Pas- tor’s Flock Remembers the Anniversary. ——_— eee At special services fn his honor at the | Protestant | Independent Evangelica! Church, Thirteenth and Tyler this morning, to commemorate the com pletion of 26 years as pastor, the John F. Jonas will preach a memoria! sermon, in which he will review oi that church. Special music by church choir will be a feature of the celebration. ’ The exact date of Dr. Jonas’ twenty- fifth anniversary fell last Wednesday, when he was surprised with a reception in the parlors of the church, attended by several hundred membirs of his con- gregation. Dr. Jonas had intended to surprise a number of these members by inviting them to a quiet “kaffee klatsch’’ at his home, 1223 Tyler street, at the close of the services. Before he could announce the invitation, however, he was himself invited into the parlors of the church, which he found elabo- rately decorated. At the conclusion ofa luncheon, smuggled into the church without the knowledge of the pastor, Dr. Jonas was Again surprised by the gift of 100 silver dollars upon a silver tray, in recognition of his silver anni- versary. The presentation was made by Henry Brockhoff, president of the church. Has Married 2500 Couples. The ‘‘vital statistics’’ of Dr. Jonas’ pastorate are interesting and remark- able. During his 25 years with the church he has married 2500 couples and buried 3270 persons. He has baptized 64490 children and confirmed 2100. Per- sons who were comparatively young when he began his pastorate have grown to old age under his spiritual guidance: while the members who were in the prime of life and the leading spirits of the congregation when first took charge are nearly all dead. The oldest couple now members of the congrega- tion are William Baumann, 88 vears old. he

It was on May 14, 1877, that’ Dr. Jonas first took up his present pas- torate, after having fled from his home in Kiel Germany, to escape service in the Prussian army. For several years previous he had acted as paster of the Peorestant Chrvrch at Stone Chureh, Il. The Iadependent Evangelical Church was at tha’ time composed of 60 mem- bers, only 40 of whom were aidin:z.in the support of the church.

Nineteen years ago the cornerstone of the Pulitzer building was laid with this invocation: Let it be remembered that this edifice. owes its existence to the public, that its architect is popular favor, that its moral cor- nerstone is love of liberty and justice, that its every stone comes from the people and represents public approval for public ser- vice rendered. What was said then may be said with double force today.. The World may have committed a thousand faults of overzeal, but they were faults of the hand, not those of head or heart. Without public approval a newspaper cannot live; the peop’e can destroy it any day by merely yefusing it. In its last analysis, nay in its first and every analysis, step by step, day after day, the existence of a newspaper is dependent upon the approval of the public. Editors submit their work morning after morning to the only real referendum and recall, that of a constituency having virtual power of life and death over their journals. Yet a newspaper can never be influ- ential if it seeks to do no. more than to please the unthinking, or echo the cries of ignorance and passion. Indeed to become truly commanding a newspaper must have convictions, must sometimes fearlessly oppose the will of the very public upon which its existence depends. MUST RECOGNIZE THE DEMAGOGUE. Editors who are worthy of their calling do not mistake the clamor of a demagogue for the voice of the people, nor the schemes of the cun- . lian Dailey Stifel, for divorce and main- * ning for counsels of wisdom. They do not confuse true democracy with tenance. He was one of the heirs of NEW YORK May 9.—To commenio- partisanship. They maintain a fearless independence.

SPRING AS DE FACTO GOVERNOR SEIZES SEAT IN DEEP LAID WEATHER PLOT Expected That a Special Session of Birds and Flowers Will Be Called. Winter being out of the State, Spring put into ex- ecution yesterday a wWell-laid plot te seize the Weather Governor's chair and take into his own hands the reins (or perhaps the rains) of the weather govern- ment. Winter, who held the job after his term of office expired, said he didn’t care much, and that if he wanted to he could come back and regain the of: fice. Able

weather counsel, among them Judge Bow- ie, have advised Spring, however, that he has a legal right to the office, being named in the constitution of the seasons as the persen to boss things until Sum- mer, the Governor-elect, is inaugurated. It is expected that Spring the de facto overnor, will call a special session of the birds, the flowers and the merry widow hats to meet at once. A stirring campaign against combinations in re- straint of vegetation will be opened and all seeds except the seeds of discon- tent will be urged to sprout. The first official announcement by the new acting Weather Governor reads: “Fair and warmer Sunday.”’ The peo- ple generally are delighted with the coup d'etat ef Spring and declare that “winter was a frost, anyhow.”

“PIGEON-TOED KID,” BAD MAN OF THE WEST, HAS TURNED HIS TOES UPWARD Montana Sheriff Helps Him Achieve It by Sending Bullet Clear Through Him. WILLISTON, N. D.., May 9.—‘'Pigeon- toed Kid,”” one of the few. remaining “bad men” of Eastern Montana,, was killed by Deputy Sheriff Calderwood at the Bonnable ranch in Valley County, Mont., Thursday night, and his body was brought to Culbertson in a spring wagon. The ‘Kid's’ real name was J. C. Brown. He was wanted for ‘cattle rustling in both Montana and Canada. Sheriff Small ascertained that his man was at the Bonnable ranch and orgaan- ized a posse. The “Kid” was complete. ly surprised. When ordered to throw up his hands he reached for his gun and Calderwood shot him through the breast. he bullet passed completely through his body and struck John Maxwell, a herd- er, in the ‘shoulder. The “Kid” fel, and, as the gun dropped from his hand, he asked for writing material, but be- came unconscious and died in less than an hour.

Then they compared notes. Mrs. May told how she and Stifel had been mar- ried by the Rev. Dr. Cunningham of the Presbyterian Church and had gone to live at 1413 Cass avenue. She said that Stifel began.to go away and stay away several days, and would then re- turn for a few days. “That’s just the way my Walter did,’’ interrupted Mrs. Lillian. “We were married in Belleville, in August, 1906. At the end of two months he sald he would have to travel a great deal, and I saw little of him after that. Occa- sionally he would return and stay a few days, and then he would leave again and I would see nothing of him. We lived at 4816 North Broadway.’”’ The two women decided te joir forces in prosecuting him. They obtained an information against him, followed by a warrant for his arrest on the charge of bigamy. Mrs. May says she married Stifel in February, 1904, when she was but 16 years old. His. ardent admiration for her tresses piqued her at first, as she wished to be loved for herself, not her hair. She decided, however, if her hair was her most alluring attraction, to make the most of it, and yielded to his suit. During one of his protracted absences, which began during the honeymoon, she found it necessary to seek work to sup- port herself. She continued to hope, however, that her hair, which he never tired of praising, would draw him back and that he would settle down into a good husband. iirs. Lillian Stifel was not so opti- mistic.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.—Rear Ad- miral Robley D.

Accompanied by members of his family and his staff, Admiral Evans left at 6:20 p. m. No advance announcement of the hour of departure had been made in order that crowds might be avoided. As the ensign of the retiring com- mander fluttered down, a new flag of similar design was broken out in token of the presence of a new chief, Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, who brought the ships from Magdalena Bay to Santa Cruz, taking control. The bunting of the new com- mander was saluted by thirteen guns from every ship in the fleet. An address from Admiral Evans was read to the officers and men on alj the ships. He expressed his regret at retiring and congratulated the crews on their improvement in drill and marksmanship.

STRAWBERRIES!” “ROTTEN, CA BUYER BIE Smith Has Fractured Skull Be- cause He Refused De- cayed Fruit.

An overzealous strawberry peddler, enraged because Henry M. Smith of 4190A Page boulevard refysed to buy his decaying berries, fractured his skull with a section of gaspipe last night. Two peddlers, driving a wagon, went from house to house on Page boulevard. It was getting they were eager to dispose of their stock before late, and Sunday. At 5190 Page boulevard they moned Lyman V. Graham, occupant of the lower flat. He declined to buy, and, when the peddler—one remained at the curb with the wagon—insisted, Gra- ham said the berries were rotten.’ The peddier became abusive and Graham slammed the door in his face. When Smith answered his doorbell the peddler asked gruffly if he wanted berries, and he replied that he did not. Members of his family say the peddler waxed abusive, and that Smith finally told him to leave. The peddier refused to do so, and Smith threw him off the porch. The peddier ran to the wagon and took the gaspipe from it. He returned, reinforced by his companion. Smith answered the doorbell again, and one of the men struck him. He fell uncon- scious.

Do you, fair devotee of the merry wid- ow hat, suffer from frequent headaches? Are you sometimes afflicted with a wry neck, and do the nerves of your cheeks throb and ache? Does the hair on the crown of your head seem dead when you try to brush it to glossiness? Do you, in addition, feel a general lasst- tude, as if you had been supporting a burden beyond your strength? If so, you have the new and fashion- able disease with which St. Louls physt- clans are wrestling and which, for want of a better name, they call ‘‘merry wid- owitis.”’ It is caused by the physical strain of wearing these new-fangled, ponderous creations of the milliners and appeared directly after the advent of the hat it- self. The pressure of the huge hate, which sometimes weigh several pounds, is said by physicians to be the cause of the unusual number of cases of headache which they have been treating recently. The weight pressing on the brain causes the circulation of thé blood te be im- peded, leading to a general ‘tired’ feel- ing.”’ “T have heard of ‘Merry Widowitis,” *’ said Dr. Cleveland H. Shutt, Aaesistant Superintendent of the City Hospital, “and regret that no case of it has as yet come under my observation. Fash- ionable people do not come to this hes- pital for treatment, you know. “The supporting of such preposterous weights on the head and neck cannot but cause headaches, sore necks and deaderfed hair. I would treat the dis- ease by causing the patients to go bare- headed."’ ‘There can be no question,” sald Dr. H. M. Starkioff, “that the merry widow

FRESH AIR 1S CURE FOR PNEUMONIA, PHYSICIAN TELLS OTHER HOMEOPATHS It Puts Oxygen in the Lungs and Sustains Patients’ Strength, He Declares. Open-air treatment for pneumonia was advocated last night by Dr. G. A. Mellies of 2839 Cass avenue, in an ad- dress to the St. Louis Homeopathic So- ciety at the Central Y. cc.) “This treatmnet is contrary to the popular conception of what should be done for pneumonia sgsufferers,’’ Dr. “and is not accepted by many physicians, but its effectiveness is rapidly being recognized. Cold fresh air will help cure pneumonia. It puts plenty of oxygen into the lungs, sustains the patient’s strength and vitality and has- tens his recovery. , “Tf it {is not practicable to treat the patient in a tent, the windows of his room shouldbe left open. If the weath- er is too cold to permit this, the window sash should be removed and a piece of cheese cloth substituted. The patient should be warmly weapoed in woolen blankets so his body will not take cold. I have used the treatment successfully and so have other St. Louis physicians.” Dr. L. C. McElwee indorsed Mr. Mel- lies’ theory, while others said it was not generally practicablé. 2000: CHILDREN SING WHEN SCHOOL RECEIVES NEW FLAG Emblem Is Present From William McKinley Circle of G. A.

Mew Preacher to Take Pulpit of Maple Avenue Congregation.

To the members of Maple Avenue M. E. Church: Dr. Randle having voluntarily proposed to resign as pastor of Maple Avenue M. EB. Church on or before June 1, 1908, the offi- clal board unanimously accept- ed his resignation, effective May arn salary in full to June 1, The pulpit will be supplied each Sunday until a regular pas- tor is obtained. The official beard earnestly re- quests the membership to support the church by attending all serv- ices. THE OFFICIAL BOARD. This printed notice will be handed to members of the Maple Avenue M. JB. Church at Maple and Belt avenues when they go there to attend this morning’s services. To most of them it will be a surprise. The rank and file of the church mem- bagship did not know that Dr. E. B. Rdndle, who has been the pastor for two years, had submitted his resigna- tion to the 28 members of the official board. There will be a second and greater surprise for the congregation when the services reach the point where the ser- mon is to be preached. Dr. C. H. Stocking of Youngstown, O., and not Dr. Randle will step into the pulpit. Dr. Stocking, who .is a prominent member of the G. A. R., arrived in St. Louis yesterday, ostens!- bly for the purpose of singing ‘The Sword of Bunker Hill’’ at the Ransom Post campfire last night. Outside of the members of the official board few rmembers of the Maple Avenue Metho- dist Church knew that he was to act as a supply in the place of Dr. Randle. Neither Dr. Randle nor any member of the board will tell the reason for the minister’s unexpected resignation. At 8 o’clock last night Dr. Randle said to.a Post-Dispatch reporter: “TI have’ resigned the pastorate. I shall continue to be pastor until the first of June, but I do not care to occu- py the pulpit any longer. Keeps Reason Secret. ‘There is a good reason for my _ res- ignation. I do not care to state it. You may say that one of the reasons is that my wife’s health is not good. I expect to be assigned to another charge by the conference, which is now meeting in Baltimore. My wife’s health is not the main reason for my resigning, but I can’t say anything further now. I may have a statement to make iater.’’ At 9p. m. Dr. Randle said: ‘“‘You may just say that because of the state of Mrs. Randle's health I am resigning from the ministry and that I will leave St. Louis. Don’t forget to say that I am resigning from the ministry. That will be a surprise to some of these people.”’ Probate Judge Holtcamp, chairman of the ‘pulpit committee, refused to discuss the resignation of Dr. Randle. “I could tell you the reason,” he said, “but I think the information should come from Dr. Randle.” Agent Goes for Another. Alfred Matthews, a prominent member of the church, will depart today for an extended tour, during which he will hear sermons by Methodist preachers throughout the South and Southwest with a view to choosing a successor to Dr. Randle. “I cannot tell the cause of Dr. Ran- die’s resignation,” he said last night. “It does not involve his orthodoxy or the finances of the church.” H. H. Humphrey and other members of the board were equally reticent. ’

A artes TICKET DICTATED Country Members Balk Effort of Committee to Disregard Primary.

HOWE IS DISAPPOINTED

“Eddie” Bernard Pushes Sena- torial Candidacy at Re- publican Meeting.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, May 9.—Having failed to roll N. T. Gentry, candidate for Attorney-General, or to agree on a com- plete. State ticket, the Republican State Committee adjourned at midnight with the empty announcement that fine plans had been devised for the success of the coming campaign. The committee session was held be- hind closed doors and lasted nine hours, allowing one hour for lunch and refresh- ments. Two sergeants-at-arms and-three po- litical men-of-all work were kept busy shying away intruders and weather strips, provided by the Madison tavern- keeper, kept information of the pro- ceedings from leaking throuhg the door cracks. Program Is Abandoned. The proposition of the party leaders was to suggest to the rank and file candidates for State Auditor, Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner and As- sistant Attorney-General, to be voted on at the general primary election, Aug. 4. But this program was promptly aban- doned. Some of the country members reminded the leaders that the primary law for the selection of nominees for State offices is more popular than the politicians imagine; that if they ignored it and attempted to dictate to the 350,000 Republican voters in this State they would reap a whirlwind of resentment and probably furnish excellent campaign material for the Democratic party. ‘They'll call us bosses,” insisted the up-State Republicans. There was the case of Gentry, one of Attorney-General Hadley’s assistants. Nine thousand petitions in behalf of his nomination for Attorney-General are on file at the Secretary of State’s of- fice. But Hadley does not want Gen- try, the leaders do not want him and yet the Republican managers decided it was best not te swing the ax on his political aspirations at this time. All thiz was very disappointing to Jeptha D. Howe, chairman of the St. Louis City Committee, who was to pro- pose a substitute for Gentry in the per- son of John 8S. Leahy of St. Louis. Mr. Gentry -got lots of quiet en- joyment out of the situation. He is worth $100,000 and his friends say he doesn't have to worry anyway. “IT am in this race to stay,” said he to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘“‘What the State Committee does or does not do regarding my candidacy is quite immaterial to me. I am not concern- ing myself about its meeting at all.” “Hddie” Bernard Active. There was only a partial attend- ance.of the committee, but nearly all of the absent members were ‘repre- sented by proxy. Perhaps the most active spirit in the St. Louls delega- tion was “Eddie” Bernard, legislative agent for the Kinloch Telephone Co. When the Committee took a recess Eddie began holding private confer- ences with the various committeemen. During a spare minute he said: “We have all been cautioned to keep everything dead, absolutely dead, but, on the square, there’ s nothing going on. “These men I have been talking to are interested in my candidacy for State Senator. You knew I am going to fight Eddie Baumann for the Republican ncmination in South St. Louis.’ At the Committee meeting J. H. Both- well announced that he would make the race for Lieutenant-Governor and tha opinion was expressed that he would have no opposition. A canvass of all the counties was raade to ascer- tain political conditions throughout the State. The-Committee decided that can- ‘didates must be placed in the field for every office from Township Constable to Governor. Chairman Dickey declared that it would not do for the Committee to in- dorse any particular candidate. Attor- ney-General Hadley made a_ speech counseling harmony. / Candidates Have No Petitions. It became known last night that in nine congressional districts the Repub- licans have no candidates for Congress who have filed petitions with the Secre- tary of State. These districts are from the Fourth to the Eleventh and the Fifteenth District. Those who have filed petitions are W. F. Chamberlain, First District; E. F. Haley, second; H. L. Bads, Third; H. M. Coudrey, Twelfth: G. O. Nations, Thirteenth, and P. Elvins, Thirteenth: two in the Four- teenth District, William G. Kitchen and Cc. A. Crow, and A. P. Murphy, Six- teenth District. Net a single Republican has filed pe- titions aS~a candidate for Circuit Judge and for State Senator only two have filed petitions, Jacob Sand in the Ninth and Charles Farrar in the Nineteenth District. William Irwin has decided to become a candidate in the Eighth Dis- trict against Dorsey W. Shackleford. In this county no man has announced his eandidacy for office. CHILD STRUCK BY CAR: THE FENDER WORKS; HE IS SAVED Little William Woods’ Mother and Another Woman Faint After the Accident. William Lee Woods, aged 21 months, son of Policeman W. B. Woods of the Manchester Avenue District, while tod- dling across the street in front of the family home at 4247 Lee avenue, yester- day afternoon, was struck by a Lee avenue car. The fender worked and the child was pushed to one side of the track, The car was stepped and the moter- man carried the child to Mrs. Woods. who fainted when the Motorman en- tered the door. A woman who had wit- nessed the accident from her home across the street also fainted. The

when Helgelein is supposed to have been murdered, he and Lamphere drove to Michigan City. They returned about 8 o’clock at night, and Lamphere got out of the rig when they reached a point opposite the Gunness farm and _ cut across the fields toward it, remarking that there would be “something doing’ there that night. Rye remembers that there were three inches of snow on the ground, and that Lamphere had to walk half a mile or more in the cold be/ore he could reach the farm. William Slater, often Lamphere’s bed- fellow after his dismissal from the Gun- ness establishment, says Lamphere toid him he had run Helgelein out of Mrs. Gunness’ house at the point of a re- volver, but that the South Dakotan re- turned later and remained. F. J. Pitner asserts, in a deposition made today, that Mrs. Gunness accom- panied Helgelein on his visits to the bank, and when the money was with- drawn, refused to let her visitor take a cashier’s check in part payment. Pitner insisted that the check was good in all banks of the city. Mrs. Gun- ness said only currency would do, and prevailed in the discussion. Woman Died With Children, The doctors who held the autopsy over the bodies of the three children and the woman’s headless body said today that the hearts showed that all died sud- denly, and at about the same time. This means that, if Mrs. Gunness did substitute another’s body to masquer- ade as her own, she killed that woman on the same, day that the children were killed. The quest for bodies in the farmyard was abandoned today, and the search- ers turned their attention to the base- ment, where the bodies of the three children and the unidentified woman were discovered. Including her two hus- bands, the murders now ascribed to Mrs. Gunness number 16. In the basement were found a gold ring and a gold locket, identified as ornaments owned by Mrs. Gunness, not habitually worn by her. They had been subjected to the same degree of heat as the gold teeth which the livfng Mrs. Gunness wore, but so far no trace of these teeth has been found. Two More Missing Men. One of the skeletons is believed to be that of E. J. Thielson of Minne- apolis, who began corresponding with Mrs, Gunness in 1906, and left there to visit her in the spring of 1907. A. J. Warren, a Minneapolis de- tective arrived today. He was sent by relatives of Thielson. He says Thielson answered an ad- vertisement in the Minneapolis Times. They corresponded several months. He finally told his relatives he believed she was all right, and left for Laporte. His relatives never heard from him after he came here. Wakefield Perry of Mt. Monterey, Pa., read an advertisement in a newspaper for a man to run a farm at Laporte. He answered it and left there to come here. He never returned home. Sheriff Smutzer received a letter to- day from Mt. Monterey officials in- quiring about him. DRAYMAN THINKS HE SAW WOMAN LAPORTE, Ind., May 9.—Jesse J. Hurst of Decatur, Ind., a dray driver, thinks he hauled Mrs. Gunness on his dray when she was fleeing. : In a letter to Sheriff Smutzer, he says that last Wednesday a tall man, with dark hair and mustache and a “sneaky” way, arranged with him to transfer a sick woman from the Erie depot to the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad, at Decatur. He transferred the woman, who, he says, weighed 225 pounds and looked very much Itke the pictures of Mrs. Gunness, and they went south on the Grand Rapids line. The man told him they were from South Dakota. He thinks the woman was not sick, as she looked healthy to him. The two seemed in a great hurry. Postmaster Small says Mrs. Gunness got more letters than anybody else in Laporte. The postmarks showed that her correspondents lived in all parts of the country. MINER TO SEEK GOLD IN ASHES LAPORTE, Ind., May 9.—Sheri¢r Smutzer has announced that he will dis. continue digging for bodies on the Gun- ness farm. Half a dozen spets have been excavated since the tenth body was unearthed, but in none of these ‘places was a trace of graves found. The, heaps of debris in the cellar of the burned house are to be searched next «week. The authorities, despite statements of persons who knew Mrs. Gunness, say the body found in the ruins was hers, and will try to confirm this theory by their search. Mrs. Gunness’ had a large amount of gold-filling in her teeth. No trace of this metal has been found In the ruins. The Sheriff will put an expert miner fin the basernent to search the ashes for traces of gold.

the basement, and the gold fillings would also, it is believed, have sur- vived the heat of the fire. As Mrs, Gunness did not always wear the ring, it proves nothing. Digging this afternoon was ham- pered by the crowds which swarmed about the excavators, and after a futile attempt to keep the spectators back the Sheriff abandened operations. FORMER EMPLOYE TELLS OF FARM OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., May 9%— Emil Greening, a carpenter, and his brother Fred, a painter, both of whom worked last summer on the Gunness farm near Laporte, Ind., today gave circumstantial details of the mysterious visits of a dozen men to the home of Mrs. Gunness, and of their more mys- terlous disappearance. Jennie Olsen, the murdered foster daughter of Mrs. Gunness, was Emil Greening’s intended wife. ‘One morning I did not see Jennie,”’ he said, “and Mrs. Gunness told me she had been awake almost all night and that she was still asleep and did not want to be disturbed. ‘“T was sent on an errand late in the afternoon, and when I got back I was told that Jennie was gone. I wrote to her, but I never received any an- swer. Men Came Continually. ‘Mrs. Gunness said a professor took her away to school, but none of us ever saw the professor. All the day follow- ing the disappearance Mrs. Gunness was very nervous. ‘Mrs. Gunness recefved men visitors all the time. <A different man came nearly every weak, and they always stayed in the house. She introduced them as her cousins and they came from Kansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin and many from Chicago. “Several were never seen to leave the place. ‘Most of the men that came brought their trunks with them, but the trunks seldom went away. We never knew when to expect these fellows, but they almost always had money. Children Kept Away. ‘Mrs. Guaness kept them in the par- lors and the best, bedrooms. She was always careful to make the children stay away from her ‘cousins.’ “T never knew of Mrs. Gunness taking a fancy to any of the hired hands ex- cept Ray Lamphere. “Tt distinctly remember a Mr. Moo, who came from Chicago the day be- fore Christmas, 1906. He was with Mrs. Gunness almost constantly. His trunks stayed, and no one saw him go. It was several days before Mrs. Gunness admitted that he was gone. Two More Disappear. “Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Gunness sent me to Michigan City to get a horse that she said Meo had promised to give her. When I got to Michigan City, something was wrong, and I was PILE: CURE PaeE Trial Package of Wonderful Pyramid Cure Sent To All Who Send Name and Address.

told to come back for the horse later. But when I returned to the farm an- other ‘cousin,’ who was there when I left, was gone. “In about two weeks I was again sent to Michigan City and still there was no horse, but when I got back another ‘cousin’ was missing, and no one around the place had seen him leave. “Mrs. Gunness had a little place fenced off just south of the kitchen. She never allowed any of the hands to go near it and she would fly into a rage if a man looked that way when he was passing. Two sides of it were barricaded with ‘barrels and boxes, shutting off the view, but from the other two sides you could see that it looked like a garden, in spots.’ Twelve Went Mysteriously. Fred Freening, the painter brother of Emil, confirmed the statements made by his brother, and said: “As many as 12 men came and went mysteriously while I was painting at the Gunness home,” IMMY MILES AND HAWES ARE nIENDS AGAIN — Third Ward Statesman to Help Cowherd and Name Munici- pal Candidates. — rr

The exigencies of politics have again made bedfellows of Harry B. Hawes and Justice “Jimmy’’ Miles. The couall- tion which was the subject of so much solicitude fer Mr. Hawes has resulted, according to a reliable informant of the Post-Dispatch, in a considerable advantage to Miles. After numberless attempts on the part of Hawes to get Miles into his camp the Democratic boss of North St. Louis has been Won over. It is well known that Hawes is not taking much interest in the local ticket. His whole energy is being addressed to the task of corraling votes for Cow- herd. He can afford, therefore, to let Miles have a voice in the municipal campaign. Miles controls Democratic politics in the Second, Third, Sixteenth and Eighteenth wards. He has a consider- able following also in the First Ward. If he can throw this strength to Hawes, Cowherd’s chances in St. Louis and his vote in the State, as a conse- quence, will be greatly increased. With Miles for some other guberna- torial candidate, Cowherd wou!d not make so good a showing, even if “Jim- my’s’’ candidate did not ag? | e which awes tis ne tewarte the sélection of} a slate for next fall's elections tn St. Louls is causing some grumbling. § of the men who were his pro- nee in. the past are displeased.

After Mr. his address of welcome and read the sterlir ; message of his father, which é&pre.ra elsewhere in the Post- Dispatch, he introduced Acting Mayor McCowan, who on behalf of the eity congratulated The Worl and its fovnder and extended a hearty greet- ing to the distinguished company assem- bled in the editorial rooms. Gov. Mead of Washington State then delivered a happy talk on the wonders of the great Northwest. He was fol- lowed by Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, once a newsboy, but now one of the finished scholars of the coun- try. When he had finished, Mr. Pulitzer in- troduced Lieutenant-Governor Chanler of New York. He paid charming trib- ute to Mr. Pulitzer and then closed with the following bit of fun that aroused the audience to wild applause, not only in approval of what he said, but the clever way in which he said it. He had been discussing politics and report- ers in a praiseworthy manner. Quickly he changed and said: “Mr. President, I am not here tonight to take up the time of others. I am simply here to join in the paying of a universal trioute te a great journal, but before I sit down I want to find fault with the New York World. “What Is a Democrat?” “For some time this paper has been asking and asking again and placing upon its editorial page this question: ‘What is a Democrat?” (Laughter.) The New York World never asked me to answer that question and I am going to answer it tonight. (Laughter and ap- plause.) I am not here to talk politics. There is so much noise in the height of of a campaign. (Laughter.) I will an- swer this question in seven words. “The question is “What is a Demo- crat? and the answer is: ‘The next President of the United States.’” (Great and prolonged applause.) Mr. Ralph Pulitzer then arose to in- troduce the man who was an utter stranger to nine-tenths of the audi- ence, but who instantly won it as none other and thereafter he kept it shouting its joy and encouragement. Mr. Pulitzer said: “The World is scarcely a hide-bound party organ, but we confess to a sense of pride that the Democratic party should be able to number among its leaders a man like Senator Gore of Oklahoma.” Then the blind orator arose and for three minutes had to stand bowing his acknowledgements. At last quiet being restored he spoke in part as follows: “Friends, ladies and gentlemen, I am not able to see why the represen- tatives of our distinguished aost should have seen fit to call upon me unarmed to affilct this splendid as- sembly of talent and of genius, of beauty and of chivalry. Makes Witty Speech. “The press in my section of the country does not enjoy an infallible reputation either for truth or for veracity. I therefore exacted a solemn promise and a solemn bond from the represen- tative of the World when I accepted this invitation that I would not be called upon to address the assem- Dblage. (Laughter.) “I therefore appreciated tae humor and the frony of the suggestion on the part of Mr, Pulitzer when he as- sured this audience that the World told the-truth. (Laughter and ap- plause.) “Now, I would not have any one imagine that this is an extemporane- ous and impromptu or unpremeditated speech (laughter), or that it is being delivered without malice aforetaought Claughter), although it may be inno- cent of any other form of thought or of forethought. - “My friends, you of the Bast must come to the West fot your brains, for your gold and for a great measure of your prosperity, and we of the West ee ere te ae East for our sun- |

greatness at the bar and in the court, the supreme court of of public opinion, from which there is no appeal. “The great Napoleon said that pos- terity would seek him in the Code Na- poleon and posterity will seek Pulitzer in The World and in the files of the New York World, which will be found to shine even amid the dust of ages. Pulitzer made The World, and he made it in hig own image. He did not make it in six or»even in seven days, but the unanimous verdict of his life and vi- sions pronounce the supreme and final judgment: ‘It is good, he builded well and he builded wisely.’ Praises Mr. Pulitzer. “Mr. Pulitzer and The World have, during a quarter of a century, seen this mighty republic almost double in the number of its population and have heard some allusions to free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. “During that quarter of a century Mr. Pulitzer and The World have seen the wealth of this nation more than dou- bled in its fabulous billions, and have seen the tariff twice revised—twice up and once down—sort of down. ‘During that time Mr. Pulitzer and The World have seen this country g0 Democratic, Republican and wrong. I had almost forgotten to reiterate and to bear witness to the statement that Mr. Pulitzer is a great Democrat and that the New York World is a great Democratic paper—occasionally. (Ap- plause.) “During that % years Mr. Pulitzer and The World have seen seven years of Roosevelt in the presidency, and to the surprise of all concerned God still reigns, at least theoretically. (Pro- longed applause and laughter.) And the Government still stands at Wash- ington and the President still does, and Congress still don’t.’ At the conclusion of the happy speech the crowd cheered for fully three min- utes more, while all the guestts on the stage crowded around to congratulate the Senator. Then came speeches by Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona, Gen. Warren Kiefer of Ohio and William Sulzer of New York. At the cenclusion Mr. Pulitzer brought the ceremonies to a close by saying: ‘‘To descend from eloquence to sordid- ness, I wish to say that I think supper is about ready downstairs.’ (Laughter and applause.) Dr. Nicholas M. Butler, president of Columbia University, and John F. Finley, president of the College of the City of New York, spoke on the educa- tional aspects of journalism. While these ceremonies were going on,. the outside of the building was brilliant with pyrotechnic display. The cheers of the crowds in City Hall park as some particularly spectacular bomb burst, were heard by the guests in the library. Seeimg the Great Piant. In small groups the visitors were es- corted by members of the reception com- mittee through some of the interesting floors of the building where the actual making of a great newspaper ‘was in progress. To many of the gentlemen who had served early apprenticeships in newspaper offices, the great plant was absolutely amazing.

LEGISLATORS JOLLY TRIP ON THE WORLD'S TRAIN fo

-*- es FF Senators, Representatives and Government De- partment Heads Swap Stories From Washington to New York City.

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 9.—Fifty-seven Senators, representatives and public of- ficials left. Washington this morning on The World’s special train to attend the celebration. Two mere got aboard at Philadelphia—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and Representative J. Hampton Moore. The even 60 was made up at New York by Senator William Alden Smith of Mich- igan, who had been obliged to go to Roston, but had hurried from there te complete the party. No more. strikingly representative body of public men ever teok a trip together for an unefficial purpose. With all of them there was a desire to see how a great newspaper plant is run and to participate in deing honor to a fac- tor in American pregress. It was as interesting a trainlioad as ever came from Washington to New York. There was not @ man in the party who was net eminent in some way in public life. Democrats and Republicans, Bryan and anti-Bryan men, Roosevelt men and enemies of the Administration fraternized as soon as the train start- ed; and it was curiously noticeable that the men whose views were widest apart seemed to pick each other eut for so- cial interceurse. Many Steries Told. Within 10 minutes after the train had started, the train was a babel of story telling, political argument, reminiscent and every sort of discussion which could be expected when a lot of the brightest minds in the nation get together. The cloakrooms in the House and Senate are nothing to it. In the cloakrooms two or three are gathered together, but here were 60, many of whom had hith- erto only the slightest acquaintance with é¢ach other up till today and The World's train served as a means for es- tablishing a general clearing house of views. Not a few important political conferences were held in the various cars. : While many of the statesmen were friends, and often chums, it would prob- ably have surprised a man unused to Washington life to see cases in which men who have served in the same Con- gress for years were unacquainted with each other. Introductions were by no means infre- quent, and The World thus served as a means for bringing a number ef public men together. Very few people realize what a big body Congress is and how long it takes a Congressman to get around in it. It is a little city by it- self. Mark Smith Ig Busy. o¥er In one corner, Mark Smith, the famous story’ teller, who is delegate from there when Arizona is admitted to Statehood, was displaying his prowess tucky. After they had matched stories for an hour, Smith got restive under one of Stanley's. yarns, a little ere ithan usual, and said: Ignatius Donnelly a dinner at Chamber- lin’s. Donnelly got up and made a long-winded speech proving that Bacon wrote Shakspeare’s plays. “After Winter Smith had stood it as long as he could he broke in and said, ‘Donnelly, that theory of yours is all very well, but I know that Shakspeare wrote those plays. Blackburn and I were there when he wrote them and saw him do it.’ ““*Why,’ spluttered Donnelly, fairly flabbergasted, ‘that was over three hun- dred years ago.’ ”’ Winter Smith turned to with a look of horror and said, God, how time does fly.”’ Keeping Watch on Them. About this*time Congressman. Rainey of Illinois, the champion of the inde- pendent watchmakers against the trust. wandered through the cars showing to everybody a watch which bore on one side the inscription, ‘‘Presented to Presi- dent Roosevelt by the Independent Watch Manufacturers’ Association of New York,”’ and on the other an inscrip- tion showing the prices charged for American watches in America, as against those charged for American watches abroad, under the tariff sys- tem. ‘Ts this a scandal?’’ asked Judge Gold- fogle. ‘‘How do you come to have the President’s watch?” “Why, explained Rainey, “the Prest- dent stood for the fool inscription all right, but when he saw the One on the back he returned it to the givers. Soe they put this inscription on the inside of the case and sent it to me.” And Rainey showed the following: | “Rejected by President Roosevelt and presented to Congressman Rainey.”’ Met Ry Their Friends. Blackburn “My ficials of departments who were in New York on business joined their colleagues at the Waldorf-Astoria, but the party which came on The World’s train from Washington was made up as follows: Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia, Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, Senator Charles A. Culberson of Texas, Senator James A. Hemenway of Indi- ana, Senator James B. McCreary ef Kentucky, Senator William E.

Gov. Mead of Washington State then delivered a happy talk on the wonders of the great Northwest. He was fol- lowed by Genator William Alden Smith of Michigan, once a newsboy, but now one of the finished scholars of the coun- try. When he had finished, Mr. Pulitzer in- troduced Lieutenant-Governor Chanler of New York. He paid charming trib- ute to Mr. Pulitzer and then closed with the following bit of fun that aroused the audience to wild applause, not only in approval of what he said, but the clever way in which he said it. He had been discussing politics and report- ers in a praiseworthy manner. Quickly he changed and said: “Mr. President, I am not here tonight to take up the time of others. I am simply here to join in the paying of a universal trioute te a great journal, but before I sit down I want to find fault with the New York World. “What Is a Democrat?” “For some time this paper has been asking and asking again and placing upon its editorial page this question: “What is a Democrat?” (Laughter.) The New York World never asked me to answer that question and I am going to answer it tonight. (Laughter and ap- plause.) I am not here to talk politics. There is so much noise in the height of of a campaign. (Laughter.) I will an- swer this question in seven words. “The question is “What is a Demo- erat? and the answer is: ‘The next President of the United States.’ ” (Great and prolonged applause.) Mr. Ralph Pulitzer then arose to in- troduce the man who was an utter stranger to nine-tenths of the audi- ence, but who instantly won it as none other and thereafter he kept it shouting its joy and encouragement. Mr. Pulitzer said: “The World is scarcely a hide-bound party organ, but we confess to a sense of pride that the Democratic party should be able to number among its leaders a man like Senator Gore of Oklahoma.” Then the blind orator arose and for three minutes had to stand bowing his acknowledgements. At last quiet being restored he spoke in part as follows: “Friends, ladies and gentlemen, I am not able to see why the represen- tatives of our distinguished aost should have seen fit to call upon me unarmed to affiict this splendid as- sembly of talent and of genius, of beauty and of chivalry. Makes Witty Speech. “The press in my section of the country does not enjoy an infallible reputation either for truth or for veracity. I therefore exacted a solemn promise and a solemn bond from the represen- tative of the World when I accepted this invitation that I would not be called upon to address the assem- ‘Dblage. (Laughter.) “I therefore appreciated tae humor land the irony of the suggestion on the part of Mr. Pulitzer when he as- sured this audience that the World told the-truth. (Laughter and ap- plause.) “Now, I would not have any one imagine that this is an extemporane- ous and impromptu or unpremeditated speech (laughter), or that it ts being delivered without malice aforetnaought (iaughter), although it may be inno- eent of any other form of thought or of forethought. “My friends, you of the East must come to the West for your brains, for your gold and for a great measure of your prosperity, and we of the West jmust come to the East for our sun- rise, our Presidents and our panics.

greatness at the bar and in the court, the supreme court of of public opinion, from which there is no appeal. “The great Napoleon said that pos- terity would seek him in the Code Na- poleon and posterity will seek Pulitzer in The World and in the files of the New York World, which will be found to shine even amid the dust of ages. Pulitzer made The World, and he made it in his own image. He did not make it in six or,even in seven days, but the unanimous verdict of his life and vi- sions pronounce the supreme and final judgment: ‘It is good, he builded well and he builded wisely.’ Praises Mr. Pulitzer. “Mr. Pulitzer and The World have, during a quarter of a century, seen this mighty republic almost double in the number of its population and have heard} some allusions to free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. “During that quarter of a century Mr. Pulitzer and The World have seen the wealth of this nation more than dou- bled in its fabulous billions, and have seen the tariff twice revised—twice up and once down—sort of down. . “During that time Mr. Pulitzer and The World have seen this country £0 Democratic, Republican and wrong.

(Pro- longed applause and laughter.) And the Government still stands at Wash- ington and the President still does, and Congress still don’t.’ At the conclusion of the happy speech the crowd cheered for fully three min- utes more, while all the guestts on the stage crowded around to congratulate the Senator. Then came speeches by Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona, Gen. Warren Kiefer of Ohio and William Sulzer of New York. At the cenclusion Mr. Pulitzer brought the ceremonies to a close by saying: “To descend from eloquence to sordid- ness, I wish to say that I think supper is about ready downstairs."" (Laughter and applause.) Dr. Nicholas M. Butler, president of Columbia University, and John F.

LEGISLATORS JOLLY TRIP ON THE WORLD'S TRAIN fp Lo a

va. VF Senators, Representatives and Government De- partment Heads Swap Stories From Washington to New York City.

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 9.—Fifty-seven Senators, representatives and public of- ficials left. Washington this morning on The World’s special train to attend the celebration. Two mere got aboard at Philadelphia—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and Representative J. Hampton Moore. The even 60 was made up at New York by Senator William Alden Smith of Mich- igan, who had been obliged to go to Boston, but had hurried from-there te complete the party. No more. strikingly representative body of public men ever took a trip together for an unefficial purpose. With all of them there was a desire to see how a great newspaper plant is run and to participate in deing honor to a fac- tor in American pregress. It was as interesting a trainload as ever came from Washington to New York. There was not @ man in the party who was net eminent in some way in public life. Democrats and Republicans, Bryan and anti-Bryan men, Roosevelt men and enemies of the Administration fraternized as soon as the train start- ed; and it was curiously noticeable that the men whose views were widest apart seemed to pick each other eut for so- cial interceurse. Many Steries Told. Within 10 minutes after the train had started, the train was a babel of story telling, political argument, reminiscent and every sort of discussion which could be expected when a lot of the brightest minds in the nation get together. The cloakrooms in the House and Senate are nothing to it. In the cloakrooms two or three are gathered together, but here were 60, many of whom had hith- erto only the slightest acquaintance with each other up till today and The World’s train served as a means for es- tablishing a general clearing house of views. Not a few important political conferences were held in the various cars. s While many of the statesmen were friends, and often chums, it would prob- ably have surprised a man unused to Washington life to see cases in which men who have served in the same Con- gress fot years were unacquainted with each other. Introductions were by no means infre- quent, and The World thus served as a means for bringing a number ef public men together. Very few people realize what a big body Congress is and how long it takes a Congressman to get around in it. It is a little city by it- self. Mark Smith Is Busy. or in one corner, Mark Smith, the famous story” teller, who is delegate ‘frem Arizona and who will be Senator from there when Arizona is admitted to Statehood, was displaying his prowess against Representative Stanley of Ken- tucky. After they had matched stories for an hour, Smith get restive under one of Staniey’s. yarns. a little es chan usual, and said: aley, Be plop ink a: (iar wtory ome Ignatius Donnelly a dinner at Chamber- lin’s. Donnelly got up and made a long-winded speech proving that Bacon wrote Shakspeare’s plays. “After Winter Smith had stood it as long as he could he broke in and said, ‘Donnelly, that theory of yours is all very well, but I know that Shakspeare wrote those plays. Blackburn and I were there when he wrote them and saw him do it.’ ““Why,’ spluttered Donnelly, fairly flabbergasted, ‘that was over three hun- dred years ago.’ ”’ Winter Smith turned to with a look of horror and said, God, how time does fiy.’’ Keeping Watch on Them. About this*time Congressman Rainey of Illinois, the champion of the inde- pendent watchmakers against the trust. wandered through the cars showing to everybody a watch which bore on one side the inscription, ‘‘Presented to Presi- dent Roosevelt by the Independent Watch Manufacturers’ Association of New York,’’ and on the other an inscrip- tion showing the prices charged for American watches in America, as against those charged for American watches abroad, under the tariff sys- tem. “Ts this a scandal?’’ asked Judge Gold- fogle. ‘“‘How do you come to have the President's watch?” “Why,” explained Rainey, “‘the Presi- dent stood for the: fool inscription all right, but when he saw the One on the back he returned it to the givers. Se they put this inscription on the inside of the case and sent it to me.” And Rainey showed the following: “Rejected by President Roosevelt and presented to Congressman Ratney.”’ Met By Their Friends. Several members of Congress and ef- ficials of departments who were in New York on business joined their colleagues at the Waldorf-Astoria, but the party which came on The World's train from Washington was made up as follows: Senator John W.

If so here is a chance for you to get a nice’ job which will pay. you 2.50 a day~helping your Uncle Sam to run the Geological Survey. One of your duties will be to polish stone—not the senior Senator from Missouri. Lithographic stone is the kind on which you will be asked to use your elbow grease. It takes a fine polish, but it takes a fine polish- er to make it take it. Lithographic stone is very heavy— 2000 pounds to the ton, and the man who gets this job from his great Uncle }must be able to juggle two hunks of it and balance a silk hat on his nose at the same time. The civil service circular doesn't exactly say so—it is too civil for. that, but it does say that the applicant must be “strong, active and capable of lifting heavy stones.” He must also be able to polish, grain and trim these stones and be expert in preparing and graining zinc and aluminum. Sf he is not a man of pol- ish he won't do. And then there are the plates. The circular says he must know how to clean plates. Dish towels will be sup- plied by Uncle Sam.

I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years’ standing.”—-David Meekison. OTHER REMARKABLE CURES. Mr. Jacob L. Davis, Galena, Stone County, Mo., writes: “I have been in bad health for thirty-seven years, and after taking twelve bottles of your Peruna | am cured.” Mr. C. N. Peterson, 132 South Main St., Council Bluffs, Iowa, writes: “I cannot tell you how much good Peruna has done me. Constant con- finement in my store began to tell on my health, and I felt that I was gradually breaking down. I tried several remedies, but obtained no permanent relief un- til I took Peruna. I felt better immediately, and five’ bottles restored me to complete health.”

A SINCERE RECOMMENDATION. Mr. D. C. Prosser, Bravo, Allegan County, Mich., writes: “Two years ago I was badly afflicted with catarrh of the stomach. I had had a rum of typhoid fever, was very depleted. I could find nothing I could eat without causing dis- tress and sour stomach. Finally I came to the conclusion that I had catarrh of the stomach, and seeing Peruna advertised, began to take it. It helped me soon, and after taking three or four bottles I was entirely cured of stomach trouble, and can now eat anything.” Manufactured by The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio we a eo 1111-1113 OLIVE STREE” k +i kh

The latter had literally oak deo: pict Abiedmmyms rete.” start, and in many quarters she was thought the j Odom filly. The race was a big betting event, the play centering on these two. The public was equally undecided, judging by the price fluctuations in the ring. First Trance would be faverite, and then Top Nete, until at ene stage it was “even money and take your pick."’ Thé ethers were ignored. As a racing event the contest was a hollow victory for Trance, She flew over the ground, and before the first furlong had been covered she was five lengths to the good and skimming over the track like a frightened deer. The further she went the bigger the gap becd@me, until at the finish she was only galloping, ‘eight lengths in front, | with Musgrave trying to pull her up. Top Note was never in it as far as Trance was concerned, but the ethers! net being much she was an easy sec- end, in front oef,Gliding Belle Trance Is a Wonder, If Trance retains the speed she has! shown in all her races, she may go through the rest of the season without defeat. She certainly is a wonder, as the time (641-5 seconds for four and one-half furlongs) w@uid indicate. A race between her and Frank Forsythe’s High Private weuld be worth a journey te see. Persenal, ridden by Bill Daly’s boy, Yorke, won the opening event, a five- furlong dash for 2-year-olds, going to the frent easily in the last sixteenth under a hard drive. Arionette was the favorite, and she led all the way by a comfertable margin until McCarthy began leoking back over his shoulder with the apparent idea that he was winning teo easily.

FARCICAL GAME Washington U. Nine Easily Runs Over Team From Alton, Score 10 to 4.

Washington University’s ball team won a farcical contest from Shurtleff Saturday afternoon at the Stadium, 10 to 4. Shurtleff did not put up any- thing like the article of ball displayed against C. B. C. the previous week. Their batting was weak, while in the ‘field it was pitiful to watcl*® them fumble, 13 black marks going a@ainst them. John Hardaway pitched good pall for the "Varsity, allowing but one base on balls, three hits, and striking out five men. Earl Morgan was the hero at bat. He made two nice safeties out of four times up. Washington men ran the bases well, and, as a result, but four men were left on the bags.

BERLIN, May 9.—Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg, who was arrested yester- day at his castle at Liebenberg on the charge of perjury in connection with the allegations of improper conduct made against him last summer by Maximilien Harden, has been lodged n two rooms of the Charity Hospital. The Prince’s lawyers persist in their attempts to prove that thelr client tis being retained without proper pro- cess of law. Bail in $125,000 has been offered and refused. This amount undoubtedly would be increased if there was any likelihood of acceptance.

investments, ‘according to reports, is re- marked throughout the ceuntry. Capital- ists whe hitherto cenfined their invest- ments to stocks and bends and ceom- mercial enterprises, are casting abeut in the large cities for advantageous realty purchases and gilt-edged fees with fixed incomes, and holdings with promis- ing futures are of engrossing interest. The conservative basis of its realty values and the fact that the city has, comparatively speaking, just commenced growing, is attracting general attention and nen-resident investors promise to be a factor in the St. Leuis realty mar- ket. A Southerner is treating with the Rut- ledge & Kilpatrick Realty Co. fer the purchase of a downtown fee valued at $500,000, the probability being that the transaction will be concluded this week. After a tour ef Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicage and New York, where he has had investments under consideration, his client in none of these cities, Mr. Rut- ledge said, had been so favorably im- pressed as in St. Louis. High Rates for Money. The vaunted easement in the financial situation is not reflected in realty cir- clés. Money is evidently plentiful, but it is still commanding panic prices. In the business center, in which 4 per cent was formerly the maximum, 6 per cent is now the minimum rate of interest. A compact ebviously, exists among financiers not te lend money under the high rate. The heaviest transaction of the week involved a loan of $250,000, ex- tended by the ercantile Trust Ce., trustee, to the Rajaw Realty Co., the loan being secured’ by 6 per cent gold bonds, secured by a first mertgage en the building and 99-year-lease of the site ef the new Maryland Hotel at the northwest corner of Ninth and Pine streets. The Rajaw company includes A. O. Rule, president; Joseph Kelly, vice-president, and R. F. Kilgen, secre- tary. Successftl botpemaaies Sales, The success which attended the ce- eperative auction sate cenducted Mon- day at the St. Leuis Real Estate Ex- change by Thes. Watts and Ferris Parker, indicated the bueyancy ef the market. Twelve parcels out of 20 pre- sented were dispesed ef at an aggre- gate cest ef $96,935. For the unseld no bids were ferthceming and the prep- erty was withdrawn. The largest sale was that ef a block ef flats at 1475- 79-81-85 Blackstene avenue fer $18,000. Messrs. Watts and Parker are enthused with .their initial venture and anneunce that in June they will again cast the die. Messrs. Schiele and, Schellmeyer, whose co-eperative sale in March, at the Exchange, included 125 parcels, and which was a netable success, are now beeking anether big sale te be held early in June. Many snaps were picked up at the Schiele-Schellmeyer sale, and the ceming sale will be ‘in geed favor. ' Apartment House Activity. Apartment house operations continue a predominant feature. Each week new big prejects give impetus to this un- movement. Anneunce- ment buildings, each of which will cen- tain 20 suites, will be erected at the seuthwest corner of Lindell boulevard and Vandeventer avenue, at a cost ef

facing 900 feet on Vandeventer avenue, extending frem the railread north te Forest Park boulevard and 900 feet in depth, with a series ef warehouses to be eperated on the plan of Cupples Sta- tion. The concern has already erected three warehouses on the property at an average cost ef $10,000. Another neteworthy transaction was that of the sale of the preperty, a three- story brick structure, with 25 feet frontage, at 1404 Pine street, frem John J. McNary, represented by the Mercan- tile Trust Co., to the International Im- provement Ce., of which Charles F. Vo- gel is president, for $700 a frent foot. The price tops the record for land on Pine street at this peint, but the en- hancing effect of the proposed 28-story Buyers’ Club Building at Seventeenth and Pine streets is being discounted. The Buyers Club project is making de- cided headway, construction ef the building being planned next fall. More than fifty leases ef space in the Buyers’ Club Building have already been closed from the blueprints, A sale of preperty at 412-414 South Sev- enth street was effected by the Mercan- tile Trust Ce. en behalf of the Stein- wender-Stoeffregan Ceffee Co. to Mrs. E. A. W. Clymer fer $50,000.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS ~“ Thousand Persons Attend Ven- due Directed by C. H. McMillan.

The auction held yesterday by the Mercantile Trust Co. in Washington Heights was ‘a distinct and unqualified success, the sale aggregating $180,634. Mr. C. H. McMillan, secretary of the Mercantile Trust Co., directing the sale from a carriage, was assisted on the ground by Messrs. Moberly, Salmon and the entire staff of the real estate de- partment. Judge Henry L. Sutton of- fidiated as auctioneer. This sale was further evidence of the general confidence of the public in St. Louis real estate and proved conclu- sively the return of prosperity in the St. Louis district.’ The trowd, the largest that has at- tended an auction sale in recent years, was variously estimated at frem 600 to '} 1000. The prices ruled low, but the bidding was spirited and active, and as many of the purchasers have building plans, it was predicted the sale will be followed by an era of building activity. The property was a portion of the as- sets of the Missouri-Lincoln Trust Co., now in liquidation. While it was ad- mitted by those interested that the’ pur- chasers had secured the property at lew prices, all expressed themselves grati- fied with the result of the sale, in view jof existing conditions. The privilege of taking more than one lot was taken advantage of, and in sev- eral instances two er three hundred feet were bought by individual parties or by corporations. The sale had been splendidly adver- tised, and the day was all that could be desired. So successful an auction at this time reflects great credit upon the management and is expected te have an excellent effect on the real estate mar- ket.

In spite of the inclement weather the early part of the weak, Holbrook- Blackwelder Real Estate Trust Co. re- ort a continued and very satisfactory fh quiry for its West Portiand place property, and reports that the interest in the Home Builders’ Pool, which is ta formed in connection with the property, is such that it believes themselves justified in saying that the 240 memberships in the pool will very shortly have been disposed of. While the property is still in the early stages of improvement, some of the grading work having not as yet een completed, several sales have one effected and the indications are that by the time the imprevements are finally completed in West Port- jand place a great many lots will have been sold; the trust coun eny having arranged ‘to guarantee t improve- ments under specifications made b Julius Pitzman & Co., surveyers an engineers. An extensive sewerage system is now being completed in the eastern part of the subdivision and immediately the improvement on the western part is completed this system will be continued throughout the en- tire subdivision. The Home Builders’ Pool will prob- ably be complered by the latter part of May, immediately after which the erection of houseg for members of the pool will proceed. The agents of this property contend that there are sO many unusually at- tractive features in connection ‘with it, the value of the, Home Builders’ Pool in a property of ‘this kind {s that it insures the immediate erection of some 56 houses within the next 12 months. HOW TO FIND | THE “SOMEBODY” The merchant knows that’ every arti- cle in his store is a bargain for some- bedy—for somebedy who lives in his store territory. The real estate operator and agent know that every piece of property on their lists is a “bargain” for someone— for someone whe lives here, or here- abouts. The landlord knows that his tenant- less store, or office, er house, or apart- ment:is exactly what somebody is look- ing for—somebody who may live actual- ly in the neighborhood. The heuseholder, with a furnished room te rent, knows that to someone in tewn it should appeal as the prettiest ‘“ene-room home’’ pessible to find. The owner of a “used but useful” ar- ticle of value, no longer personally need- ed, knows that, to somebody in town the

extraordinary August SAT TRDAY'S MARKI HOWS FRACTIONAL GAINS IN STOCKS sn & "=. = Advances on Stock Exchange Probab- ly Due to Expectation of a Large Gain in Bank Reserves. . = NEW YORK, May 9.—The Evening Post in ite financial review says: “Prices on the Stock Exchange went higher, perhaps in connection with ex- tienal, but one or two stocks scored aa@vances of a point or more. A fur- ther rise in foreign exchange was in- teresting. Sterling touched 487%, a rise yy Monday. The statement showed a further the surplus, but the gain | dings was not up to ex- Yesterday’s forecast was 000 increase; the actual fig- showed only a trifle over Had the banks financed the Penngyivania bond subscription and the sale of city revenue warrants, increase fm loams would have offset this addi- tion to the reserves. But the trust companies are shown to have taken since bank borrowings, and the actual bank figures ‘at the close of the week show $6,300,000 increase in surplus reserves. “Tt is usually easy te explain a pro- *Jonged rise or fall in stocks after it hes happened, but there are occasion- ally some things about it which puzzle the thoughtful observer, even when all the obtainable facts seem to be before him. A few months or years after- ward he may get the necessary light. “Thus the public’s infatuation did not seem wholly to explain the frantic “hoom’’ of April, 1901, and it never was fully explained until an investigat- ing committee dragged to light the per- formances of high finance with life in- surance and trust company funds. .“—In 1906 the London bankers were as infatuated as our public of five years before, and this partly explains the stock market; but the bottom facts remained unknown until the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, five months later, put on record what the Union Pacific Executive Com- mittee had been doing on the Stock Exchange with the company’s surplus. “Tt is not easy to see where any very heavily loaded dice can be on the sloth in the present movement. In- surance funds were shut off long ago; trust company deposits are hardly ac- cessible on the old-fashioned plan, since the recent Albany legislation, and, ex- cept for one great railway, no suspicion of use of its assets to help along a rise in stocks could exist today, and it is hard to see just how even that com- pany could serve the purpose, in view of recent conditions in the credit and stock markets.” The week that has just ended has been one of proneunced improvement in ema stock market. Although there eccasional setbacks, securities ition worked to higher levels. week. A substantial advance Pacific cannot fail toe facili- the disposal of the $50,000,000 bonds the directors of that corporation Union Pacific’s financing was By “means the sole or controlling influ- 7 im the advance in stocks. In the ‘oomnt plethoric condition of the _ Momey. market the great banking and more advantageous The enormous oversubscription of the Pennsylvania bond issue, and the de- interest basis on which New York City revenue bonds were sold were regarded as proof of the sub- stantial increase in capital available for investment, and this served to draw attention to the high-priced stocks and bonds of the Exchange, which were selling below their norma! The steady inflow of money into the New York banks today increased the rem. figure of $1,270,324, 900, This was an increase of $12,565,700 over the de- posits reported by the banks last Sat- urday. The amount of specie held in ae ee - these banks also reached a new high of $313,304,500, and the surplus The aggre- ts of all banks and trust was $2,167, 183,500. of the features of the session five points spurt in Chesa- & Ohio.

Subse- quently the market recovered on bet- ter Indian reports and the absence of increased taxation in the budget, but values eased again today and the close of consols was % of a point down on the week. Other British securities were de- pressed in sympathy with consols, but not much stock came out and the de- clines were in most cases recovered. Investors, however, are holding off, particularly in the home rail section, where a continuance of the shipbuild- Ting dispute has had a depressing ef- fect. American securities moved erratic- ally. ‘The early firmness with buying by New York in preparation for the nae gies Pacific issue, gave way to sell- pressure in which the Continent pee AB on the delayed announcement at the issues, but Wall street came to the support of the market at each de- cline and the final rates today are from 1 to 8 points higher than last Saturday, most of the rise having been registered today on the good crop re- port. Paris continued to unload Rio’*Lin- tos and De Beers, and this unsettled the foreign section, which generally was easier, with the exception of Havana rails, which were strongly held on the good rains in Cuba. The quotation on United Havana improved 9 points. Money was exceedingly plentiful and some times difficult to lend. Dis- counts were easier in sympathy. Assertions were current of the fore- ing to cover of some very large short interests. The bank statement of av- erages showed much less than the ex- pected in in cash holdings, but it appeared in the statement of actuw4l conditions on Friday night and in that of other banks. The $23,623,300 loan expansion of the latter institutions indicated clearly also, that the bur- den of the week’s syndicate financing had been borne by them. The de- crease for the week of $2,700,000 in United States deposits shows the early response to the call for repayment of $20,000,000 of these deposits, which fell today. The items of deposit and of specie holdings in today’s clearing house statement stand at record fig- ures, The week closed with an animated and buoyant stock market, in which interest was manifestly broadening and new points being developed in the upward movement. Advantage was “ar peo to effect distribution of specu- ative holdings of some of the stocks which have le@ during the week in strength and activity. In Reading and Union Pacific the volume of trading was on an undiminished scale, but the price variation was held within nar- rower demand, being fed judiciously. Even in stocks in which realizing was most pronounced the day’s business was effected at prices higher than yesterday and in fact, at the highest prices of the year. No definite news accompanied the further advance, but rumors continued. Much of it dealt with the anthracite group and sup- posed change of control of Reading, in spite of denials of reports of the sale of Lake Shore holdings of that stock. The ye Union Pacific bond is- sue was a subject of active discussion but with no authentic details as to the amount or terms of the issue. A sud- den spvirt in Chesapeake & Ohio was unexplained, but was ascribed by some observers to the terms of the working agreement between the railroads and Government authorities for non-en- forcement of the commodity clause of the Hepburn law, ending litigation to test its validity. The metal securities were not con- spicuous in the advance. The price of copper was lower in London and rose again on circulation that the agree- ment on the main prices of pig iron had collapsed. >. ww " St. Lewis Stock Exchange. The short session of the St. Louis Stock Exchange, Saturday, was the most lively one of the week. Trading was unusually diversified. Rallways 4s and National Ban of Commerce were the features. Both were advanced, the former selling at 81 and the latter at 22844. National Candy was fairly active and in good demand.

S CAMPAIGHING IN SOUTHWEST * Louis Candidate for Appel- late Bench Attends Dem- ocratic Convention.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., May 9.—William Christy Bryan ef St. Louis, candidate for Judge of the St. Louis Court of Ap- peals, arrived in the city yesterday to meet the Democrats of Springfield and Greene County, and to attend the coun- ty convention today. Mr. Bryan was shaking hands with the lawyers and other Democrats today. Mr. Bryan has practiced law for a number of years, and four years ago was Democratic nominee for Judge of the Circuit Court of St. Louis, but was defeated in the Republican landslide of that. year, when Roosevelt carried the State. Mr. Bryan is in the prime of his life, and seems to be making a good im- pression among the lawyers and Demo- crats. He is opposing Judge Bland for the nemination, and his friends claim he should succeed ewing to the fact that Judge Bland has been on the bench 2 years and is now 72 years of age. They say that to give Judge Bland another term of 12 years would make a total of #@ years in office for him, and he would be 8 years old at the expiration of his time. The term of office is 12 years and it pays $66,000. More than 6000 petitioners have endorsed Mr. Bryan for Judge of the Court of Appeals.

SHOP KEEPER'S FORTUNE IN DUSTY OLD PAINTING ote

_ Jimmy Dowd of Boston, Refused $50 Profit in an Hour Just to Be Sport and Take a Chance, Bought it for $20 ang

BOSTON, May %—Hidden away among heaps of antiques in aged Jimmy Dewd's curiosity shop at SH Pleasant street, there has lain fer nearly a year, dust-covered and moth-eaten, @- mam- moth painting which Dowd bid in at an auction sale for $20. Dowd is startled almost beyond imag- ination today by the verdict of several art critics, who have examined his painting and pronounced it an allegor- ical work of the famous Remano, paint- ed in Italy several centuries ago and today probably worth thousands of del- lars. One estimate places its value at $106,000. Netwithstanding that his treasure is known to but few people in the Hub, Dowd has already refused a lump sum for it. Two offers were of $150 each. Another was of $500. There was 4 fourth offer of $1000 cash on the spot, but to each prospective buyer Jimmy’s message was the same: “It’s a prize, sure enough. If it’s worth that te you, ‘twill be werth more to me if I hold it a while Anyway, I'll) wait and see.”’ Today Jimmy Dowd is all smiles. He wonders what the future holds ferth for him. He dreams of riches. Confess- ing that when he went into the antique business he couldn't tell an antique from a modern encyclopedia, he pats himself on the back for what he calls his good luck. Picture Ig om View. Today the dust is all removed from Jimmy's treasure. It has been thor- oughly washed and dried. Resurrected from its graveyard among loads of old clocks, lamps, carpets, rugs, draperies and mahoganies, it hangs prominently upon the side wall of Dowd's shop, where everybody passing the Motor Mart Building, on the Pleasant street side, can obtain a good view of it. Jimmy wants everybody to take a good look, because seon he expects his painting will adorn the walls of one of the country’s big museums of fine arts. New York may possibly get it. Plans are now said to be under way to have a representative of the New York Mu- seurn—a critic on rare Italian art—come here to inspect the painting, and then as Dowd expresses it: “Maybe them fine feathered men and women, as they stand by and look at it will say: “There’s the paintin’ old Jim- ¥ my Dowd bought at auction for %) sime- leons.*” It was in Hatch’s auction and commis- sion house, in Park Square, that Dowd found his. Kiondfke. There was «6 sale of antiques and Jimmy dropped in to see what .was going on. Incidentally he had his weather eye out for a bargain. _All Jimmy ever knew about art, he ad- mits, was what people told him. That

a ps ange pret kes ne wasn’t much. His notions never ran to- |=

The bidding started at %. “Make it seven,” said Jimmy. “Bight,” said a man next to him. cy Ee" E $20, but net a penny higher. Get It at His Limit. “Nineteen,” said the first man whe had bid. “And $30 and not anether nickel,” sald Dowd, with emphasis. Xe So the painting was “knocked down’ to Jimmy Dowd at $20 and everybody in the shop smiled and several suggested that Jimmy had been properly “stung.” The auction had not clesed, Dowd says, when a well-dressed, middle-aged man rushed in, almost breathlessly, and asked the auctioneer when “the big painting’ was to be offered. The auc- tioneer said it had gone to Dowd. “T'll give you $50 more than you paid paid for it,” said the stranger, step- ping up to Dowd. Jimmy wendered. Fifty dollars’ profit for two heurs’ work looked big to him, he says, but at the same time he won- dered at the stranger’s anxiety and his eazerness to buy. So Jimmy set a piice on the painting of $2300. The prospective buyer turned away. Then Dowd lifted the painting to his shoulder and earried it down the street to his store, shouting back, as he left the auction reom: ‘‘Maybe it ain’t worth $800, but it it’s worthy $50 so quick, maybe ‘twill be worth a thousand tomorrew.” Oftentimes after that Dowd felt sorry that he refused a quick sale. The pic- ture was buried away in his store. None of the customers even gave it a passing glance. One day Jimmy Han- lon, the policeman, whose post takes itn Pleasant street, passed Dowd’s store, saw the painting and remarked that it looked so old that it might be worth something. i 3 ik i F Ht ; aie if + iF ix H il aqiee fie ei

For 25 years it has been the most conspicuous exemplar of newspaper success achieved through public serv- ice. Its success is unparalleled in the annals of journalism, but its material achievementsare mierely the accompaniments and inevitable results of the principles it has applied to the daily work of =the news- paper and of the ideals it represents. ) : nh; The old axiom that history is philosophy teaching by example, applies with peculiar force to the rae of The World’s accomplishments. Its record proves the soundness of the sitiple philosophy of its owner: “Do right and fear not.” On this sure foundation, aiready proven in the-successful conduct of the Fost-Dis- patch for nearly five years, Joseph Pulitzer was 22 by his faith in. the people and his conviction of the tri- umphant righteousness of Democracy, to undertake on May 10, 1883, what would have seemed to men of UT of the ideals and convictions of ne Palitzer, who came from Europe to America a penniless VG oy youth, seeking a better field than the Old World A OSEPH uke ‘ less faith, less courage, less optimism, an impos sible task—the building up of a greater. newspaper in the «greatest city of the continent.

The’ Post-Dispatch is ‘ordad of them as repre- ,Sentative of the same principles, the’same stand ards, the same ideals that it has represented for nearly thirty : years. . In telling the story of The World’s work the Post-Dispatch'is not-actuated merely by a desire to praise, but by. the conviction that the lesson of sound journalism which The World’s, record inculcates should ‘be impressed: upon the minds of the peonle to whose service The World.was dedicated. The successes of The World, and of its predecessor the Post-Dispatch, are the successes of the people. Their achievements were -made possible by the co-operation of the people.

they represent hjs aims, ideas, convictions. If they have fallen at times below the plane of his stand- ards it is because he has been deprived of the opportunity personal- ly to direct the work of his staffs. But their achievements and theit work embody his labors. His influence has been — in the making of both newspapers. | The intellect that started these institutions upon their course, that gave them conscience and a sense of duty, still remains their guiding genius, their inspiration, their source of. strength. The principles and ideals that were proclaimed in. the inaugural editorial of the Post-Dispatch and in the dedication of The World prevail unchanged in this day of the success and power of these newspa- pers, as they did in their beginnings. For nearly twenty years Mr. Pulitzer has suffered the physical ills of an invalid and the loss of sight. But no pain has ever caused him to lessen his care and responsibility for the character and con- duct of his papers, and the affliction of blindness seemed to give him an even deeper insight into the hearts and minds of the Amer- ican people. It is sometimes charged against editors and statesmen of for- eign birth that they never are able to quite comprehend the Amer- ‘-*““iéan people or get into complete sympathy with the public mind. E. L. Godkin, for many years editor of the New York Evening Post, and the late Carl Schurz have been cited often as notable | examples of this criticism. Of the latter James G. Blaine said: So8, “He has not become rooted and grounded, is not. identified with any #2 =~ interest or class. He stands rather as a representativ German- American.” Mr. Godkin’s associate and biographer, Joseph B. Bish- op, felt obliged to recognize and to defend simflar accusation against his friend, putting the question: “Had he no faith in American | institutions? Was he never American in feeling?” Mr. Schurz in old aye wrote in the German language that part of his interesting Recollections relating to his early life and experiences in Germany; Mr. Godkin retired to England to spend his last days. But Joseph Pulitzer, visiting old scenes on the Continent, in 1878, wrote to the New York Sun: “The more I see of Europe the more American [ become. However great the treasure of art, j prefer the treasure of liberty. I always enjoy myself in Europe, yet I always like to return. I like their operas and galleries, their museums and statues, their old castles and new palaces, but I * like still more our plain land without the glare of royalty or no- bility.” The life of Joseph Pulitzer, in itself a romance, is the mote in- teresting because his career from his young manhood is practically the record of his two great newspapers.

only the German language; he had no friends here, no knowledge of the country. The Civil War was in progress, and he came ‘to' be a soldier.

He was born near Budapest, Hungary, April 10, 1847. The cir- cumstances of the family permitted a good elementary education, partly under a private teacher, and somhe early knowledge of af- fairs in Budapest and Vienna. Military life, inspired through the adventures of an uncle in the French Foreign Legion, was his: first fascination and ambiton. The Archduke Maximilian of Austria had accepted the throne of Mexico and set out for his new empire early in the year 1864, backed by French troops. The young man took his pittance of patrimony and hastened to Paris to join the Mexican expedition. He was rejected because of defective eyesight. Then he turned toward the United States, where the great civil strife was waging. Reaching New York, his hain was arrested by a call for re- eruits for the Lincoln Cavalry. The name attracted his attention. To his surprise he found the command was in reality the First New York Cavalry, and the squadron to which he was assigned composed of reach foreigners like himself. The regiment was attached to. Sheridan’s command in Virginia and served to the final surrender at Appomattox. The young recruit went through the strenuous Jest half year of the campaign. He discovered whet war means—its hardships, its sufferings, its deso- lation, its wanton sacrifice of human life.

"Phere was a ferry boat, but he could not pay the price of a ticket. He heard a deckhand speak in the German language. Five minutes - Tater Joseph ‘Pulitzer was working his passage across the river by shoveling coal under the boilers and eee a little nioney in ad- dition. He bought a newspaper, and, vaniiine its advertising columns, ,Téad that precarious existence. Meantime he had leafned very rapidly to speak dnd to read the English language, anthis station in life began to im- prove. His indefatigable industry, his quickness of perception and his insatiable appetite for learning and mastering every detail of his ,, task soon brought friends and better employment. At this period -he became acquainted with that most learned of y’ men, the late Prof. Thomas Davidson, who opened wide new doors of learning to his eager, impatient mind. P A new line of railway, now a part of the St. Louis & San Francis- co system, was projected to extend through distant parts of Mis- souri. It was necessary to have certain documents registered in ey- ery county through whieh the line was to pass. Mr. Pulitzer was employed to do the work. He wag given a horse and sent out. Ie swam rivers, camped out when he could find no sheltering farmhouse, copied the ‘documents i - county records when officials failed and finished the task ahead/of time. . When he returned to St. Louis he had accumulated money). experience and knowledge enough to mske humble manual labor a thing of the past. His years of poverty and drudgery was over. He began to look for higher St. Louis soon knew him well. When scarcely he was elected a member of the Missouri championship of a much-needed educational reform bill brought him plenty of reputation and excitement. Later he became Commission- er of Police, and during all the long years of his St. Louis residence he was a potent, active, civic force. N { July, 1875, Mr. Pulitzer, as a delegate from St. Louis, brought into play all his energies in defense of his principles and for Uhe good of the State. He made many speeches and often unhesitatingly he stood practically alone when he thought he was right. Whenever he spoke he commanded most respectful attention. He prodded slow- er members to activity, opposing in behalf of the people all un- necessary delays or undue haste, and he delighted in cham the people’s cause rather than that of the politicians. At the THE Constitutional Convention of Missouri, in May, June and time he was insistent upon thorough, patriotic work by the opens tion. Those were stormy days in Missouri, only a decade after the close of the Civil War. Some of the convention delegates were still inclined to deem the State greater than the Nation and wanted the new Con- Mr. Pulitzer had many a hard battle. When one delegate declared that “it would do no harm to insert a clause declaring the of Missouri to the United States,” My. Pulitzer replied, in part: ‘ “The gentleman seemed to be absolutely afraid that unless we recognize that we live in the United States of Amertea, in the West- ern Hemispbere of the inhabited globe, on the west bank of the Mi«- sissippi River, that some morning we will wake up and find ourselves slipped out of the American Union! finitely weak child compared with the strong call upon the child to define the power of tire Government ! hee ee ah all ockad abe “At therend of « fortnight, Mtr.

Mand 5 N MAY 10, 1883, The World came under the own- ership of Joseph Pulitzer. At once it was in- , spired with new principles and dedicated to a Rew’ cause. May 10, 1908, marks the completion of a quarter of a century under the same control and di- rection, and the beginning of ‘a new era of gréater publicity, greater public service and greater inde- mendence. #Jeurnalism in both America and England had con- fined.its activities to the reporting of news events and te the expression of editorial opinion, chiefly po- litica!:. The day of action, of participation in the affairs of city, State and nation as an active agent, t+ drawing of the sword of Publicity as a weapon for Weth attack and defense of popular rights began with Me. Pulitzer’s assumption of the direction, first of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and later of The World. To enumerate the performance of public service by The World in the field of crime alone would be to print many columns of absorbing history of mys- terious murders, of great thefts, of dark outrages and cruel oppression. But more dangerous than the crim- finals of violence are the unscrupulous law breakers who prey upon the institutions ef society, who steal from public treasuries, who barter for bribes, who filch trust funds and who accumulate ill-gotten wealth. These are the men who fear most the light ef Publicity, and on them The World has turned it most fiercely in the performance of public service. The aldermen who gave the Broadway Railroad franchise for enormous bribes were exposed and con- victed by it. The lobbyists, like E. S. Phelps, who dealt in legislators’ votes, were driven from Albany by publicity. The Pacific railroad owners who tried te avoid paying the just debts to the Government felt its force and surrendered. The foes of honest gov- ernment, regardless of political party, have dreaded its power in many a campaign. There eventually came times when corruption defied even exposure, and wrong had so strongly intrenched itself that even the outcry of an aroused community could not unseat it. The The Werld advanced further in ite battling for the people and invoked the aid of the courts, with itself as petitioner, to pretect the public. This extraordinary action, establishing a precedent in journalism, was taken first in 1897, when by an injunction The World prevented the Board of Alderinen, soon to leave office, from giving away @ vaiuable street railway franchise in Kingsbridge road. Again, and more notably, the power was in- voked in 1900, when it haled inte court Mayor Van Wyck and his partners in the Ice Trust, who were attempting to throttle the city. Before the bar they were ferced to confess their part in a scheme of monopoly. and higher prices, and it was overthrown. _ Interesting and important as these acts of public service were at the time, there are others in the Mist of Werld achievements that by their wider scope nd their more lasting effect take a place in the his- ry of the nation. They altered the trend of public ife and they had a dfstinct effect upon the welfare f the people. It is proper, therefore, to give some etailed attention to the influence of The World in _f few notable cases, te show hew truly it has fulfilled ~’ its dedication “‘to the cause of the people.” Te secure the return of Democracy to power after 24 years of defeat was the first of fhe World’s great battles for pelitical principle. No motive of party gsubserviency or partisan prejudice led it to champion the cause of Grover Cleveland in 1884. As Mr. Pulitz- er wrete in later years: “‘Whatever credit Mr. Cleve- land and the Democratic party received, The World never for ene moment considered itself a party paper. It promised to support truly democratic principles, truly democratic ideas, and it has done so and will © so, with entire independence of bosses, machine candidates and platforms, following only the dictates ef its conscience.”’ To typify these principles and ideas The World - “St forward Grover Cleveland, the Gevernor of ork, as its candidate for the Democratic presi- nomination, and thus described him: is a peor man. He came from plait, common sple. He has no so-called aristocratic lineage or il- astrious ancestry, but owes everything to his own ‘efforts and his own character.* He never inherited a great name or fortune or a seat in the Senate. He is a poor politician because an absolutely honest, ‘conscientious reformer. He has no lifelong political record to explain or defend. He is not popular with local machines and politicians, whose special interest he has disregarded whenever the public welfare de- manded it. He is certain ts make a good President— not brilliant and magnetic, but repulsive to the ras- cals who. are preying upon the Government and who must be driven out of Washington.” In the campaign that followed Mr. Cleveland's nom- ination The World led in battling or his election, Mr. Pulitzer personally participating in the campaign. ‘When Mr. Cleveland was elected The World made this claim of reward for its share in the contest: “It seeks no favors, patronage or office, and asks . but one thing of President Cleveland. That is to $ red the promise he made, and which The World ale on his behalf, that he would lead the nation away from corruption and to a restored, a reformed, a@-regenerated Republic.” Twice again The World supported Mr. Cleveland, i because he was leader of a party, but. because typified Democratic principles. It, could not save cae from defeat in 1888, but it materially assisted in the triumph of 1892. : = | tion ef the conditions and incidents attending the presidential campaign of 1884—how thor- oughly Republicanism was intrenched—how brilliantly it was led—how arrogant it was—and how confidently it @ncouraged and aided a contingent of deserters from the Democratic ranks,’ wrote Grover Cleveland te The World's twentieth anniversary number. NEVER can lose the vividness of my recollec- Or : * sturdily The World then fought for Democracy; and in this, the first of ite great party fights under pres- ent proprietorship, it was here, there and everywhere in the field, showering deadly blows upon the enemy. It was steadfast in zeal and untiring in effort until the battle was won; and it was won against such odds and by so slight a margin as to reasonably lead to the belief that no contributing aid could have been safely spared. At any rate, the contest was so close it. may be said without reservation that if it had lacked the forceful and potent advocacy of Democratic princi- ples at that time by the New York World the result might have been reversed.” It is easy to adhere to a principle when party and candidates are in accord with it, but the supreme test comes when organizations and leaders stray away from the straight path. The free silver mania and the Populistic doctrines that swept the West and South reached their climax in 1896, when they dom- inated the Democratic convention and nominated Mr. oN ot can party, ; Bryan for President on a platform of tres silver inflation of currency and repudiation of sound money. The World led the successful fight against free silver and Populism in 1896 and again in 1900. The platform and candidate of 1904 permitted sup- port to be given once more to the Democratic party, but its ranks had been toe badly shattered by. in- ternal strife of the past to give any hope of victory. The questions arising in that campaign, permitted the addressing to President Roosevelt of three open letters written by Mr. Pulitzer upon the President’s imperialistic policy, ministration and the influence of corporations cam- paign contributions upon an administration. inspiration was this, phrase used at the beginning: for the Democratic party, institutions is this written. but for the Republic.” . the last subject Mr. Pulitzer wrete: “Do not the cerporations that are pouring money buying protection? ‘ises or not. personal representative; howe ver; the record of his ad- they give something, to Mr. Titeir them something in return. but for democratic tection. -When they Not against the Republi- In dealing with thie your campaign chests assume that they are It makes little difference how guarded or explicit Mr. Corteliyou's promises may be.

When The World’s Building Was ‘eae Oct. 10, 1889. OD grant that this structure be the enduring home of a newspaper forever unsatisfied with merely printing the news—forever independent—forever advancing in enlight- enment and progress—forever wedded to truly democratic ideas— forever rising to a higher plane of perfection as a public institution. God grant that The World may forever strive toward the high- est ideals—be both a daily schoolhouse and a’ daily forum, both a daily teacher and a daily tribune and instrument of justice, a terror to crime, an aid to education, an exponent of true American- | ism. Let it ever be remembered that this edifice owes its. existence to the public; that its architect is popular favor; that its corner- stone is liberty and justice; that its every stone comes from the people and represents public approval for publie services rendered. God forbid that the vast army following the standard of The World should in this or m future generations ever find it faithless to those ideas and moral principles to which alone it owes its life, and without which I would rather have it perish. JOSEPH PULITZER.

ISOBEYING the doctors, I obey the cabled request of the [) editors and my own instinct in gratefully acknowledginy the astonishing expressions of kindness and appreciation from the press and so many gentlemen distinguished in public life. I say astonishing because personally I feel that The World is un- deserving such overwhelming praise. There is no man more’ con- scious, more critical of his many shortcomings; none’ can be more disappointed by his failure to have attained his ideal of a news- paper. There is always a great deficit between aspiration and action. I assume the responsibility for both faults and failures, yet it may be pardonable to say that for sixteen of these twenty years I have been unable to read the paper or go to the office, having suffered the loss of sight, of health, of sleep, although con- tinuing the burden of responsibility for the conduet and character of the paper, to which I give every moment of my waking time. the Democracy. cratic party. Cleveland’ and the Democratic party received, for one moment during the last twenty years considered itself a It promised to support truly democratic principles, truly democratic ideas, and it has done so, and will do so, with en- tire independence of bosses; machines, candidates. and platforms, following only the dictates of its conscience. party paper. The Message From The World’s Owner on the Twentieth Anniversary, May {0, 1903 Faith in the people is a democratic ideal, but faith Many other. distinguished gentlemen have gener- ously, yet. mistakenly, praised. The World’s services to the Demv- I say mistakenly, because, whatever benefit Mr. The World never in the infallibility of the people, flattery of the people, surrender of con- ‘viction to the passions and prejudices of the people, and the theory that the people can do no wrong and that the majority is sacred-- these are not true democratic ideas. To mold public opinion, to violation of the Deciaration of Independence. For it is true, as Herbert Spencer has said, that. he who holds a slave by a chain becomes himself the slave of that slave, and in this attitude we must endanger our own liberty and lose our sense of humanity. To prate about war, fighting and a bigger navy, or the biggest navy, is neither democratic nor dignified, nor normal, and the ranting of Presidential declarations on this theme is an appeal to ignorance, prejudice and passion. : To draw the line against any organization when it opposes the freedom of labor—to apply fixed principles of justice, equality and freedom, and to oppose violence and favor arbitration, peaceful methods, law and order, is a truly democratic idea. The World will fight every tyranny, whether that of militarism or monopoly, whether that of plutocracy, an oppressive oligarchy or corpora- tion, or that which in the name of labor denies the right to labor.

pulses and instincts, it has represented also, I believe, the heart and conscience of the people. Mayor Low. unwittingly confirmed this when he said that one thing that most surprised him since he.has been Mayor was the activity of The ‘World as a municipal agent. Dr. Parkhurst presents the same thought in saying that The World holds a brief for the people and is “the journalistic attorney for the man that is down.” This feeling was in my mind when I wrote, twenty years ago, that The World was dedicated to the cause of the people—that it would serve and battle for the people with earnest sincerity—and also, in 1889, when I expressed the hope that it would be forever fighting every form of wrong— forever wedded to truly democratic ideas—forever rising to a higher plane of perfection as a public institution. Personally, The World does not yet appéar to me a truly great newspaper, but upon one point I am convinced—it has never lacked zeal to labor and sacrifice time, talent, space, mongy, everything to oppose wrong, to fight for the public good, to yender public service, even if that service interfered with the neWs service and sacrificed the news. | Mr. Cleveland has spoken of The World’s service to the Demo- cratic party, and particularly of its decisive “advocacy of Demo-

His response, cabled from France, was characteristic and was greet- ed with cheers by the diners, It read: . To The World and Post-Dispatch Stajfs: - Express to the editors, managers and entire staff my warm appreciation of their excellent and successful work for an institution which should alicays fight for progress and reform; never telerate injustice or corruption; al- ways fight demagogues of all parties; never belong to any party; always oppose privileged classes and public plunder; never lack sympathy with the poor; aliwaya re. main devoted to the public welfare; never be satisfied with merely printing news; always be drastically. inde- pendent; never be afraid. to attack wrong, whether _by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty. JOSEPH PULITZER. i. ‘the same standard of public honor. There are exceptions. There are, I am sorry to say, newspapers which advocate dangerous fal- lacies and falsehoods, appealing to ignorance, to partisanship, to passion, to popular prejudice, to poverty, to hatred of the rich, to sogialism, sowing the seeds of discontent—eventually sure, if unchecked, to produce law lessness and “bloodshed. Qn thé other hand, by far the larger portion 6f the American press is showing a steadily growing independence, a steadily di- minishing partisanship, a steadily increasing sympathy with the masses, a steadily augmenting opposition to privileged classes, to inequality, injustice and every form of oppression of the peo- ple. Conscious of its great responsibility, the American press, as a whole, strives to help, to lead, enlighten, guide and encourag? the people in all good aspirations. Is it necessary to ask on which side of this division Justice Brewer and the people will find The World? Is it necessary to say that with the utmost of my re- maining strength The World will do battle in‘ solution of the grave problems mentioned by Justice Brewer, anxiously seeking the truth and applying jit in a spirit of fearless independence, but with mod- eration and tolerance and in the-firm conviction that in this spirit only The World will do its best service to the Republic?

S A child will naturally seek refuge in the arms of a kind and tender mother, from the rude, strong and oppressive hand of ‘father, which may be laid upon it, 80, sir, “ey think it is time that the States should remember their ogiginal form of government, that form of government which guaranteed to them self-government, which gave them birth before this Union and which today administers to their most im- portant,necessities, before they should needlessly fall upon their knees and exclaim that ‘they do love and cherish the United States Government,’ lest some- body might think that they did not. Mr, Chairman, I cherish the United States Government. Perhaps I have more reason to do so than Some gentlemen upon @ government that should be based upon intelli- gence and not ignorance.” Mr. Pulitzer sturdily opposed all efforts to take from the people of Missouri the right to amend their constitution by constitutional convention every 10 years. He did not believe in delegating to the State Legislature such authority, pointing out how dangerous might be such power in the hands of unscrupulous politicians. “As usual, he pleaded for the preservation of the rights of ali the people. In like manner he fought against giving the Legis- lature the ht to change at any time the charter of St. Louis, citing in*’support of his argument the gigantic corruption under Tweed in New York, declaring: “Tweed derived ali his power and based his entire system of public plunder on such an amendment as is proposed.

The year 1880 marked a great Schange in the po- litical and economic conditions of the United States. Théissues of the Civil War passed Away, sectional strife disappeared, and there arose the new prob- its corrupting influence. tory power, its unscrupulous use. Though were just developing and their baneful @ffects scarce: Mr. Pulitzer foresaw them early. The presidential campaign of that year found him again on the political platform in bebalf of the De- and in a speech delivered at Indianapolis in that year he sounded the first note of warning over prosperity, but not at the expense of liberty. Pov- erty is not as great a danger to liberty as is wealth, with its corrupting, demoralizing influences. “Let us bave prosperity, but never at the ex- pense of liberty, never at the expense of rea! self- government; and let us never have a Government at Washington owing its retention to the power of the millionaires rather than to the will of the mil- lions."’ Ou the other hand, socialism and communism never wore able to claim him as an advocate. His opposition to -them was based on studies made of actual conditions. Writing in 1878 to the New York Sun of the prevailing cénditions in Germany, he expressed these views: “If socialism were oniy a protest against these evils, and what it also claims to be—a demand for the recognition of human rights—no one who be- Neves in self-government could help sympathizing no sov- Such is liberty its preda- The efa of corpo- these conditions of all “Germany can never prosper until it has haa ¥ ¢ ; rest—a genuine peace.

It was that they could make that system of public plunder possible. Without it, such public plunder could never have reached the magnitude it did.” One of Mr. Pulitzer’s most vigorous fights in the convention was in behdlf of the public schools and the broadest possible education of the poor at the ‘expense of the State. He believed, then, as ‘now, that there rests upon the State a greater moral re- sponsibility to prevent crime by education than to punish crime itted through ignorance of moral and State laws. with it. But it goes much further—goes too far— phen it becomes communism. The poor workingmen in the industrial regions of Saxony (the principal seat of socialism), Silesia and the Rhine, have. no doubt, much to complain of. It ts hard to support a family on 8 cents a day. It is hard to make even the poorest workingman or servant git) pay a direct tax to the great Government of Germany. it is infinitely harder, however, not to be able to get work for even 5) cents a day.

His policy of blood and rich, or any particular - ma. Sih. question is nly a policy of giving labor the new issues. “If there is prosperity in this land,” he said. “it is in spite of and not on account of the ruling party; it is through the labors of the toiling mil- lions, not the work of politiciang ; through the un- exampled resources, harvests and industries of 4 marvelous country, and not through a notoriously fraudulent administration of & corrupt party. But there is one aspect of this prosperity which de- serves serious thogght. Great prosperity produces great wealth. Great wealth is power. it inevitably forms a class which selfishly, theugh naturally, fos- ters! its own interest. No government can make bine weeirn of a country, but the wealth of a country or write in German, pent us token a dress in that tongue.

We are one people, one country and one government; an@® whoever en- deavors to array one section against another and endeavors to make the Union of all people impos- sible is a traitor to his country.” Another speech delivered during the same cam- paign gives an insight into his devotion to the Re- public and belief in its institutions. Describing a scene he had witnessed in Germany, where the po- lice dispersed an orderly political meeting because of mild criticism of the Government, he said: “I, too, though but a stranger there, felt the out- § rage; but greater than my indignation was my | pride in knowing that I, too, was an Ameriéan, a freeman in whose country no peaceable meeting could be dispersed at the bidding of the police; where the Government belongs to. the people, not » the people | 3 before the law sd,

EVARTS, President. RICHARD BUTLER, Secretary. This nection was brought about as the result of a campaign waged unceasingly by The World for rais- ing a fund to build the statue. ‘The fund thus raised amounted to $100,000, and the World had, on Aug. Ll, 1985, announced its comp!«- tion. N THE revolution of the Cuban people to free | was to themselves from Spapish tyranny™ there strikingly illustrated the power of publicity aid in the righteous cause of a nation. It was not the rifles and the machetes of the Cuban insurgents that won freedom for the island; it was the vivid pic- tures of their sufferings and the broadcast distribu- tion of their appeals through the medium of the press that roused public sentiment to wrath and brought about armed intervention by the United States and the brief war of 1898 between this country and Spain. In this making of history The World figured notably as an organ of humanity, a medium of communication for the belligerents and an ambussador of publicity for all interested nations. Its files are the “blue books” of that period, containing the appeals, the decrees and the proclamations addressed officially to it for the great audience of public opinion not only by the struggling insurgents but by the Captains- General in Havana and the Spanish Government in Madrid. The climax of this mission of publicity was reached when the commanders-in-chief of the oppos- ing armies joined in giving safe conduct back and forth through their lines to a World correspondent, so that America and Europe might know the truth. From 1895 to 1898, when brief war gave Cuba lib- erty, The World teld day by day the story of Weyvyler’s autocratic rule and relentless cruelty until Weyler threatened James Creelman, The World’s correspond- ent, with expulsion if he continued to send such hews. Creelman, undaunted, defied the angry Span- ish Captain-General and was deported, but other men took his place and there was no break in The World's awful story. Maceo appealed through The World to Americans to intervene and stop the butch- ery. Then Maceo was killed and Cisncros and Gomez, through the World, delivered Cuba’s ultimatum-—lib- erty or death. Later, the same leaders, in the same medium, expressed Cuba's willingness to purchase the island and pay Spain an indemnity. Sylvester Scovel, a World correspondent, was arrested for in- curring Weyler’s displeasure, but a storm of indignant protests forced his release. Scovel had exposed the horrors of the reconcentrado svscem of herding and starving non-combatants. Wevler was recalled and the humane Blanco succeeded him. Scovel was per- mitted to go freely among both armies, and the Spanish and Cuban leaders used The World as a me- dium for the discussion of autonomy. The World found Gomez in the field and fore him the Spanish proposal of autonomy. swerewas a defiant( refusal. Nothing short of inde- pendence would satisfy the veteran chieftain. Blanco’s plan was doomed to failure. The time for interven- tion by the United States was drawing nearer. When the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor a World correspondent was there, telegraphing the first details of that disaster. When President Mc- Kinley decided upon intervention a World corre- spondent took the news to the Cuban army and brought back the letters of Gomez to our army chiefs. iaid be- His. an- To mold public to lead publie opinion, to awake and arouse publie opinion is both a pleasure and a aduty; but a still higher duty even than to reveal is to resist public cpinion at times.—Joseph Pulitzer. NDER the delusion that the cherished Monroe L) doctrine was being violated in a faraway spot in Venezuela, the United States very nearly plunged into war with Great Britain during the Christmas holidays of 1895. The passions of the people were inflamed by a presidential message to Congress, and jingo excitement howled through the land until sober second thought came and relieved the situation. It was in resisting this wave of public opinion, unanimous in the country, that The World rose to. its greatest uct of public service, and publicity performed .a part unprecedented in journalism. Princes of the blood, statesmen of highest rank, archbishops and bishops of many churches, men of fearning and of influence all joined in voicing through The World sentiments of reason and of peace that averted the greatest crime of the century. Between the governments of Venezuela and Great Britain there had been a long-standing dispute of no great importance over the boundary line between the former country and the British colony of Guiana. There were vague and conflicting maps on which lines ran through unexplored regions. The contro- versy had been in existente for 200 years. Its diplo- matic sicep had experienced various momentary awakenings, only to relapse into peaceful pigeon holes. Suddenly President Cleve'and and his Secretary of State, Richard Olne:’, made this quarrel of two for- eign countries their own. They demanded of Great Britaih a settlement on behalf of Venezuela, and when it was not forthcoming in satisfactory manner, President Cleveland*sent to Congress, on Dec. 17, 1895, @ special message reciting the negotiations and rec- oemmending that the United States appoint a com- mission of its own to determine the true divisional! line. ' “When such report is made and accepted,’’s he added, “it will, in my opinion, be the duty of the United States to resist by every means in its power as a willful aggression upon its rights and interests the appropriation by Great Britain of any land or the exercise of governmental jurisdiction over any ter- ritory which, after investigation, we have determined of right belongs to Venezuela. In making these recommendations I am fully alive to the full re- sponsibility incurred and keenly realize all the con- sequences that may follow.” Congress listened to the message read and applaud- ed. From all sides came approving shouts. Without counting the cost, without considering ways and means, without an army or a navy, the nation was ' yeady to declare war on England. It was not only folly in the sense of unpreparedness, but in the utter lack of reasonable cause. No one stopped to think of the ridiculousness of fighting over a few square miles of land in a faraway country in which the United States had not the least interest. The morn- opinion, ‘Ing after the President's message The World said: “President Cleveland's message to Congress on the bao Venezuelan matter is a serious biunder because it 4 is based on a wrong conception, because it is not by International law or usage and because ae United States in a false position, eel ee ee tant the, eo tees nations on any account less serious than a@ menace such as the President describes would be the monu- mental crime of the century. “Are our peace and safety as a nation, the integ- rity of our free institutions and the tranquil main- tenance of our distinctive form of government threat- ened by an extension, however unwarranted and ar- bitrary, of the British possessions in Venezuela? The assumption is absurd. And with it falls the structure of ponderously patriotic rhetoric reared upon it by the President. “It is a great blunder to put this Government in the attitude of threatening war unless we mean it and are prepared for it and can appeal hopefully to the sympathies of the civilized world in making it.’ In successive editorials thereafter The World op- posed Mr. Cleveland’s position in this matter. It was necessary to present to the country at large some stronger arguments than the arguments of international laW, the reasonings of humanity or tke shricks of panicky brokers. None of these served to arouse the sober second thought so\necessary to check the onward rush. The World turned to the great men of England, the very country we were affronting and defying. They responded with messages of concilia- tion, of fraternity, of good will and of sentiments of peace on earth that were published on Christmas morning. The effect was almost instantaneous. Thoughts of war vanished. The Venezuelan boun- dary became a question of geography diplomats and surveyors to settle. From the British throne came this message to The World, sent by the Prince of Wales with the know!l- edge and consent of the aged Queen Victoria: ‘Sir Francis Knollys is desired by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of*York to thank Mr. Pulitzer for his cablegram. They earnestly trust and cannot but be- lieve the presenf\crisis will be arranged in a manner satisfactory to both countries, and will be succeed- ed by the same warm feeling of friendship which has existed between them for so many years.” The venerable Mr. Gladstone cabled: .‘‘Only com- mon sense required.’’ Lord Rosebery wrote: “I ab- solutely disbelieve the possibility of war between the United States and Great Britain on such an issue as this, for it would be the greatest crime on record. History would have to relate that the two mighttest nations of the Anglo-Saxon race, at a time when they appeared to be about to overshadow the world in the best interests of Christianity and civilization, pre- ferred to cut each other’s throats about a frontier squabble in a small South American republic. The proposition requires. only to be stated to demonstrate its absurdity. I congratulate you on the good work that your paper appears to be doing in this direction.’’ There were many more messages from men of note. All safe one of the bishops of England contributed sentiments of peace through The World. The Free- masons of England used the same channel to-reach their American brethren. Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Potter rallied the American clergy. The New York Chamber of Commerce led the business men back into the paths of reason. Christmas sermons from a thousand pulpits echoed the expression of peace and good will that The World had voiced and telegraphed everywhere throughout the country. A few days later, reviewing the events of the week, it said: “The effect was instantaneous and gratifying. The war clamor ceased. Within two days the reaction was complete. The truth told and the facts pre- sented proved to the country that it had been made a victim of false alarm. Publicity had done its work. Truly ‘peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.’ Benjamin Constant was right: ‘The mistress of intelligenee, and intelligence is mistress of the world.’.”’ That able statesman, ber of British cabinets and keen observer of many countries, remarked in later vears: ‘“‘The World led public thought when it secured expressions and opin- ions from leading men of America and Great Britain and performed an inestimable service to the En- slish-speaking people of the whole world. War be- tween the two countries would be a terrible calamity, and The World performed a patriotic service to its country. It did not wait for a leader, but led the people.” press ts Joseph Chamberlain, mem- surance during 1905 and 1906 The World contribut- ed to the destruction of a monumental evil and at the same time to the reconstruction and reforming of a beneficent system. ‘“‘The community is greatly indebted to The World,” said Gov. Charles E. Hughes, “for the energy and persistence with which it hes demanded a thorough investigation of conditions of life insurance corporations.”’ “To The World more than any other source,” testi- fied Assemblyman W. W. Wemple, member of the legislative committee that investigated life insur- ance, “‘is entitled the credit for the exposures of the insurance scandals.’” James T. Rogers, another mem- ber of the same committee, added: “I know of no greater service ever rendered by a newspaper than that which The World performed in bringing out the actual conditions existing before the legislative com- mittee was appointed.” The World's services began with its exposure conditions existing in the management of the vn ble Life Assurance Seciety, but, in the official in- vestigation which followed, the corruption existing in the Equitable soon was lost to sight in the revela- tions of others. The misuse of money paid by policy holders was s0 flagrant that the entire country heeame aroused. Many thousands of dollars had been given to political campaign funds, vast sums had been expended at Albany and other state capitals to influence legislation; the profits of business were diverted to private benefit; corrupt alliances formed with Wall street speculators; djvidends to policy holders decreased; salaries of favorites raised to enormous figures; high percentages paid to privi- leged agents and the benevolent objects of life insur- ance diverted to unscrupulous personal profit. Never was the force of hostile public opinion felt with greater severity than by the men whose exposure and disgrace ‘were accomplished »y the power of publicity. The punishments inflicted upon them with- out the aid of law or police were swift and smiting. The presidents of the three great companies’ were forced to resign. But the condemnation of public opinion was.not satisfied with mere retirement. Mc- Call soon sank into death under the weight of his dis- grace; Alexander, a shattered wreck, retreated into a sanitarium, and McCurdy fled to France to hide his shame. The senators of New York—Platt and Depew —became objects of criticism ‘instead of honor. Smaller leeches who fattened on the spoll fled through fear of punishment. The brand of public condemna- tion was burned upon dozen of men’ who had dom!- nated the great system. Publicity inflicted far more severe punishments ‘than the law, which dealt in @atory gentleness with the accused. Comprehensive legislation designed to correct the evil of the insurance system was enacted by the General Assembly of New York and followed in many other states. On April 23, 1906, after the remedial legislation became a part of the law, The World said, in review of the great reform: “Public opinion can find voice only through the spoken or written word. The largest audience which any voice can reach is a tiny fraction of the people of the United States. The written word goes to an’ audience limited only by the number of copies of the printed sheet... To give utterance to this written word, brought into being by the force of moral ideas, is a duty and a privilege and, above all, an honor. “The force of moral ideas in the community is om- nipotent.

We were once associated in a political movement in 1872, and I am-sure he as well as I hoped to make it one of real reform. Since he came to New York he has not only made the World a far larger and better newspaper tian it was before, but there has seemed to me a marked tendency as the years went on toward a disposition to discuss the gravest questions less from a purely partisan and more from a patriotic point of view. I trust he may long be spared to give direction to this upward movement of a great newspaper, and to enjoy the honest appreciation which his work must com- mand. WHITELAW REID. By PROF. D. H.

THE HAGUE, May 1, 1998. | HEN The World looks back upon an honorable W life of 2% years, full of devotion to the great cause of peace, it behooves to testify thank- fully the immense yalue of the press, Indeed, civilized life would lose a great deal of its intensity ‘f the press were not there, giving the means of partaking of each other's feelings, thoughts, knowledge and ac- tion. It is the most active agent to shape and con- dense the mass of mental work and reflective sensa- tions, alive in greater or smaller communities, into that mighty powe@called public opinion. In order to accomplish this important function prob- erly the press shoul& not only be well informed, but must, of course, be free. A muzzled press has no significance. -.Free, but not irresponsible. Responsibility ts the wecnnnaty co-efficient of all free- dom. . laps not unjustly, said that the press rules the world. But the world wants no irresponsible rulers, It is in that direction, it seems to me, that the press will have to look for further development of its beneficent action. By THOMAS G. RAPIER, Business Manager the Daily Picayune, cw Orleans, La. HE twenty-fifth anniversary of The World un- ee der its present ownership and management is an event of such general interest and impor- tance as to entitle it to a memorial in harmony with its significance. This will, beyond doubt, be realized in the special edition you intend to issue on the 10th of May. Mr. Pulitzer’'s remedy—Publicity—while not a cure for all ills, is a corrective influence of wonder- ful power. The World, under his management, has made Publicity attractive and has made it pay both the people and himself. These are tributes to his newspaper and the executive ability which has made him a national figure of considerable magnitude. Sincerity and courage are exemplary virtues in jour- nalism, as in every otber field of patriotic endeavor, and the possession and unremitting exercise of these attributes entitle Mr. Pulitzer to the good wishes of al! newspaper men and of the people of the United States.

CHAMBERLAIN, Governor of Oregon N THE early days of the Republic there was a | distinct cleavage between those on the one hand who had confidence in the intelligence and integrity of the masses and believed in giving them the largest voice in governmental affairs, and those on the other who, lacking this confidence, would have shorn them of all voice in government, would have practically elim- inated the states and placed almost all power in the hands of the general Government. Notwithstanding the fact that our forefathers believed they had achieved a government by majorities, -yet without legislation and without constitutional amendment, the people, through the instrumentality of the convention system, have gradually surrendered their power both in national and in State affairs to political ma- chines and, corrupt party bosses, these in turn being corruptly owned and controlled by spe- oial interests and the privileged classes. Oregon has set its face against these methods within the past few years by restoring to the people powers which they have gradually and unconsciously relinquished and which it was intended by the Fathers of the Republic they should always retain. This brings me to an an- swer to the question which you ask: “What has this State done in the last 25 years to help make America the greatest nation in the world?" By the adoption in 1902 of an amendment to the Constitution conferring upon the people the right to propose and adopt amendments to the Consti- tution and concurrent with the Legislature of in- itiating and passing laws and giving them an ad- ditional power of vetoing through the instrumen- tality of the referendum laws passed by the Legis- lature, the State has set the pace for all the other States in the Union for reform in governmental affairs. harbors of the Pacific Northwest, our pio- neers have carved Western Washington; famed for its lumber, its commerce and the finest harbor in the world—Puget Sound. From the fertile uplands, and by means of irrigation in the semi-arid plains of Eastern Washington, the hus- bandman has wrested an inland empire, boundless in its possibilities. The Cascade range of mountains divides the State into two almost equal parts, but strong reciprocal interests, firmly and closely bound by several great transcontinental lines of commerce, have united the two halves into one of the most important units of this nation. Taking the heritage of the. early pioneers our people have multiplied it many fold. During the last 25 years Washington has matriculated from a Territory to the sisterhood of states. Hewers of wood and tillers of the soil, they have sent the timber of Western Washington to the far corners of the earth, and with the cereals of Eastern Washington have nn ci to feed the world. (ltt?

Louisiana produces one million bales of cotton annually, and, besides this, she produces 95 per cent of all the cane sugar raised in the United States and more rice than any other State of the Union. One county in Louisiana raises more rice than all of South Carolina. She is now the second lumber producing State in the Union, ranking next to the State of Wash- ington.

The vast region where wheat can now be successfully grown and is being rapidly placed in cultivation was a trackless plain con- sidered hardly fit for grazing 25 years ago. Less than twenty-five years ago Texas was dependent upon the Bast for money to move her crops; today Texas is a lender of money. The taxable values of the State 25 years ago were about $600,000,000; today they amount to $1,607,- 615,458, and the tax rate has been.lowered from 25 cents on the $100 valuation to 12 1-2 cents, and it is probable that the rate can be reduced next year to not exceeding 6 cents on the $100 valua- tion. . BY WILFORD B. HOGGATT, Governor of Alaska URING Russian ownership Alaska was only 1) valuable for its fur-bearing animals, and continued to be so for a number of years after the transfer to the Government of the United States. In 1875 reported gold discoveries at Sitka brought a number of miners from Cassiar District, in British Columbia, to Southeastern Alaska. These discoveries amounted to little, but the miners began prospecting for gold in placers in the Silver Bow Basin, hear Juneau. In 1884 a prospecting mill was erected at Tread- well. : This was followed the next year by the erection of 120-stamp mill, and the mines of this group have been developed and milling’ facilities enlarged until at present there are 880 stamps crushing rock from the large ore bodies on Doug- las Island. From this time until 1897 there were numerous discoveries of smaller veins of ore bodies in Southeastern Alaska and on Unga Is- land, on the south coast of Alaska. The miners made Treadwell and Juneau their headquarters, and began exploring the Yukon Valley and mak- ing discoveries of more or less value until 1897, when the enormously rich deposits of the Klon- dike were discovered. These important discoveries of gold and of the mineral resources of Alaska have led to a con- stantly increasing business between Alaska and the United States. In 1905 the general business of Alaska with the United States, including both imports and exports, amounted to $39,159,772; in 1906 to $52,180,537, and in 1907 to $48,425,330. The decrease in 1907 is accounted for mainly by the decrease in gold production on ‘account of labor troubles in the mines. BY W. T. DURBIN, Governor of Indiana From 1901 to 1905 HE past quarter of a century has witnessed T the transformation of Indiana from a State typically agricultural to one of large man- ufacturing interests. Within the past, twenty-five years natural gas was discovered in Indiana, and as the result of the development of vast fields of this cheap fuel, manufacturing centers were developed and many villages have become cities. It has also been a period of rapid development of other Indiana resources, especially oil, coal and clay. The State’s industrial development has not béen confined to a small number of communities, but it has been diffused among many. In Indiana the factory and the farm are in sight of one an- other, and it is under such conditions that the best type of citizenship is developed. The transportation facilities of the State have been greatly amplified during the past 25 years. Most recently has come the construction of a great network of {fnterurban lines, aggregating near two thousand miles in length. BY COE I. CRAWFORD, Governor of South Dakota HE State of South Dakota is not as old as T the World. It was and ad- mitted into the Union in 1889. It is only 18 years old. What it has done “toward making the United States the foremost nation in the world” has been done in 18 years. While only 18 years old, it is a most promising youth. The parallelogram it occupies upon the earth’s surface is 200 mjles wide and 400 miles long, ly- ing between the forty-third and forty-sixth stand- ard parallels north and the ninty-sixth and one hundred and fourtn meridians west, a region of great fertility of soil and healthful and invigo- rating climate. It has gold mines and coal mines, wheat fields and corn fields, thriving towns and hustling communities. It has no large cities and no men with “vast and swollen fortunes.” Neither has it any poor class. Its people belong to the prosperous middle class, and are exceptionally in- telligent and law-abiding. As large a percentage own their own homes as can be found anywhore in the United States.

CHARLES S DENEEN, Governor of Illinois INCE her admission as a State of the Union, S history shows Illinois to have been one: of the great contributors to the moral, politi- cal and industrial advancement of the country. The great part which Illinois was to play in the future of the Republic was seen and pointed out by Nathaniel Pope, our first territorial dele- gate to Congsess. Perceiving the significance of Illinois’ geographical position, both from a politi- cal and an industrial point of view, he secured the extension of our boundary 60 miles northward, and thus linked the political destiny of Illinois with the North and her industrial destiny with the East, duving the most crucial period in our nation- al history. Industrially, as prophesied by the foreseeing Pope, within our State has been forged the link which connects the great waterways of our con- tinent and combines them into a single system. About the artificial channel which at Chicago has pierced the natural barrier dividing the waters of the lakes and the St. Lawrence, uniting them with those of the Mississippi and the Gulf, the water- borne domestic commerce of the country must swing as upon a pivot. BY NOKE S/iITH, Governor of Georgia T IS doubtful if any state in the Union has seen greater changes in the last 25 years than have been witnessed in Georgia. Twenty-five years ago the State had but fairly begun to re- cover from the devastation and financial loss caused by the war. The extent of that loss can be in a measure realized when it is stated that the slaves owned in 1861 in Georgia and set free as a result of the war were returned for taxation at $325 000,000. The slaves constituted about one-half the tax values of the State. The actual destruction ot , the enormous depreciation of real estate and the revolution of our industrial life when y valuations to such a low figure ES es or ee sea was founded the first free and the old plantations were at the zenith of their baronial magnificence. This remarkable result has been brought about by .the development of our natural resources, which were neglected under the old regime. Big plantations have been cut into farms, iron mines, slate and marble quarries and other resources of natural wealth have been developed; manufactur- ing establishments of all kinds have been erected; vities and towns have been built, until it is doubt- ful if there can be found anywhere in the world more industrial diversity than we have in Georgia. - Kbite te —- BY JOSEPH W.

In education -her progress has been most phe- nominal. The number of her high school has been increased from nine to 140, and during this period the permanent interest-bearing school ‘fund of the State has been increased trom $3,000,- 000 to $13,326,141.32, the largest school fund main- tained by any state in the Union. In finance and industry Missouri's record of progress reads like a tale of magic. The re- ‘ sources of our State banks and trust companics (taking no account of the enormous funds in national banks) have quadrupled in the past 15 years, and are now, approximately, four hundred millions, while the real and personal property held by industrial corporations has leaped from fifty millions to three hundred millions. The finances of the State Government show a record equally remarkable and_e gratifying. Twenty-five years ago the Missouri State debt was $10,948,000. Today Missouri has no State debt and her tax rate is lower than any other Western or Southern statc’s. 4 fy BY JASFIES 0. DAVIDSON, Governor of Wisconsin HAT nation which aspires to be the foremost T in the world must among other things meet these three requirements: (1) It must pro- vide an abundance of the means to an enjoya- ble life; (2) justice must prevail in the relations between its citizens; and (3) its population must be strong, healthy and enlightened. Wisconsin is glad to be able to make a report of progress in these lines. The wealth of the State has been increasing faster than its population, which itself has shown a remarkable increase. The estimated true valuc of ail property more than doubled between 1880 and 1904, there being an increase of about 60 per cent in the population in the same period. In the years 1880 to 1900 our manufacturing capital increased from $73,800,000 to $330,500,000, or 354 per cent, the number of establishments growing in the same period from 7674 to 16,187. More recent figures for a restricted number of establishments show an increase ip ‘ital of 44.2 per cent between 1900 and 1905. Ps BY MARTIN F.

These will reveal the truth best and do most to correct misconceptions and enlighten those who are dis- posed to underrate the contributions South Caro- lina is making to the nation at large. Take, for instance, the part that South Caro-. lina has played in the material development of the country in the last 25 years. The assessed value of property in South Carolina in 1880 was $134,- 162,834, while in 1906 it was $249,534,422, there being an actual increase in the last six years of $73,000,000. During the last two decades South Carolina has become second in the United States in cotton man- ufacturing, leading all others in the South. Her mills wi) consume this year 700,000 bales of cot- ton, the raw material at prevailing prices being worth $45,000,000. During the five years ending in 1905 the value of her cotton goods products has increased nearly $20,000,000. Me, jp Aoceck BY JOHN C. CUTLER, Governor of Utah N THE past 25 years Utah has provided homes and farms and other means of support and independence to thousands of sturdy, honest immigrants from other states. Utah has redeemed, through irrigation and arid cultivation, thousands of acres of fertile lands, adding millions to the value of the nation’s real estate. The products of these lands have in- creased by a large sum each year the balance of trade in favor of the United States. Utah has produced the precious and baser metals to the total value of more than $300,000,000. These ores are treated in smelters representing an outlay in construction of many millions, with monthly payrolls reaching far into the thousands of dollars. ‘ & BY EDWIN S. STUART, Governor of Pennsylvania HE Legislature of the Commonwealth of T Pennsylvania appropriated during the last 25 years for common school purposes the sum of $109,000,000. From the beginning of our public school system everything has been done to extend its dimensions and facilities. The appro- priations for the maintenance of our common schools have gradually increased until we are now spending $15,000,000 biennially. Pennsylvania has undertaken a State cam- paign against tuberculosis. The recent Legisla- ture appropriated $1,000,000 to be used by the De- partment of Health for the purpose of preventing the spread of this disease. The leading agricultural county in the United States, as gauged by its products, is the county of Lancaster, in Pennsylvania, the value of its farm products exceeding more than $10,000,006 annually. T.M. CAMPBELL GOVERNOR OF TEXAS BY ANDREW L. HARRIS, Governor of Ohio T IS credit enough to give Ohio the honor of | keeping pace with the other great states of the Union. The glory of one is the glory of all. Our State has furnished its full quota of great man in the council of the nation; it has contributed its proportion to the increase of pop- ulation; it has been in the very vanguard in the development of the vast: resources of nature and “the advancement of agriculture and manufactur- ing. The great benevolent and educational institu- tions of the State have been vastly improved and many new ones founded. The State service has been greatly extended, and, while the annual ex- penditures have been increased for these pur- poses, Ohio is today without a State debt and with a comfortable balance in its treasury. BY JOHN BURKE, Governor of North Dakota Y STATE is/not 25 years old. In the fall Vi of 1889 the organic law of this State was adopted by the people and North Dakota became a State. It was ‘at that time sparsely set- tled, and agriculture had received very little en- couragement outside of the Red River Valley. However, the hardy, energetic young men and women from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, IIli- nois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska: and South Dakota had faith enough in the country to come and settle and make their homes upon our broad prairies. Their coming resulted in a splen- did, energetic, intelligent citizenship for this State and the development of a great agricultural territory for the nation. Their phenomenal suc- cess in raising wheat has caused this State to be known for several years as the “breed basket of the world.” Of late years our farmers have been diversifying and are now successfully raising all kinds of cereals, grasses, all kinds of vegetables, corn and many kinds of ruit, as well as hogs, horses, cattle and sheep.

HERMAN RIDDER. eee By STEPHEN B. ELKINS. Senator From West Virginia. REMEMBER very well the date Joseph Pulitzer | acquired The World, and especially his brief an- announcement of the fact, setting forth his policy and what he proposed’to do with the World—one of the best and most comprehensive statements I ever read. I congratulate Mr. Pulitzer on making good every promise in this announcement; he has more than fulfilled all expectations, even gone beyond his promises. It may be claimed that Joseph Pulitzer is the father of modern journalism in the United States. The New York World is now one of the leading papers of the world; it deservedly exerts a wide influence on American thought, on politics, business affairs and the progress of the country. In his attitude toward individuals, corporations, public affairs and party politics, Mr. Pulitzer has constantly and consistently mantained absolute in- dependence. I have not always agreed with the World—in many things I have not—but I can say Mr. Pulitzer has always fought from his standpoint for right and against wrong, without fear or favor. S. B. ELKINS. By CHAMP CLARK. Representative From Missouri. HEN the historian of our times comes to phi- W losophize as to the world’s amazing progress in the last hundred years—particularly in the last 60—one of the most noteworthy topics for his discussion will be the multiplication of newspapers as to both number and circulation. His explanation will .be made up largely of a statement of the in- fluence of steam and electricity in newspaperdom. His most difficult duty will be to explain satisfactorily the almost complete disappearance of the old-fash- ioned paper in which the editor was bigger than his paper and the evolution of the huge, impersonal pa- pers of the present day. Thomas Jefferson once declared that as between a country without a government and with a free press he would choose the former—a declaration to which I agree; but he meant an honest press and not a subsidized press.. The people demand more and more clean, honest, fair, courageous journalism. The papers of the future will*be not half so large as the papers of today. News, editorials and adver- tisements will all be condensed—not only to save time and money, but as a matter of humanity. Once rep- resentatives in Congress spoke ad libitum. Now an hour is the longest speech possible except by unani- mous consent. The paper of the future will exploit good deeds more and reduce the reports of scandal to the min- imum. CHAMP CLARK. ee From Educators and Sociologists HE World sent to prominent educators and T other students of the press two questions. These queries were: 1. What is the greatest accomplishment of the .newapaper in the last 25 years? . 2. What is the work fer the newspaper to do in the future? The great achievement to be wrought by a fearless, public-spirited newspaper. having the resources and oppor- tunity of The World? The replies received are the reflex of the con- clusions of men and women whose words “are always worth reading. The concensus of these opinions indicates that the \response to the first question is that the instant gathering and print- ing of news‘from all parts of the earth and the

a prompt and wide dissemination of information of all kinds is the greatest accomplishment. There is more diversity of verdicts as to the future duty of newspapers as great as the World and a recognition of the vast responsibility of such. a paper. Yet, after all, these thoughtful contributors generally agree that “do right and fear not,” the creed of Mr. Pulitzer as exemplified in The World, works for the greatest good to the greatest number. The pleas are for publicity, true independence, telling the truth, loyalty to demo- cratic principles, sound morality and purity of purpose. and of expression. ELIMINATE PREJUDICES.

The newspaper should give equal space to the good and inspiring deeds for humanity as it now de- votes to accidents and crime—news in the true sense is not limited to catastrophes, divorce and crime. The power of suggestion is great, and crime is pro- moted by publication of all the details. The newspa- per should reflect the all around life of the times. MRS. FREDRIC SCHOFF. REPORT ALL FACTS. By JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN, President of Cornell University. 2. In my opinion, the greatest desideratum in jour- nalism today is accuracy in the reports of news, 80 that what is reported shall represent the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In proportion as a journal deviates from this standard, and seeks to arouse passion or even to awaken interest by distorting facts with an admixture of fancies and falsehoods, it lays itself open to the charge of,sen- sationalism. A great newspaper is always a potent educational agency, and it would be as beneficent as it is potent if it were actuated by the scientific spirit which lies at the foundation of our modern civiliza- tion—the spirit that seeks facts and will not set up passions, prejudice or illusion as a substitute for facts.

18 DOUBLE SEXTUPLE PosT-DISPATCH PRESS JS BUT ONE OF THE GIANT MACHINBS WHICH GIVE A PREUS CAaRAaciry 6.3 TIMES GREATER THAN THE SINGLE MACHINE WHICH WAS SUFFICIENT IN fi N ‘THAT epochal day of Dec. 10, 1878, now nearly thirty years agc, when the St. Louis Evening Dispatch was sold at Sheriff's sale to Joseph Pulitzer for $2500, the most absorb- ing real-life romance in all the history of jour- nalism ,had-its beginning. The St. Lotiis Post-Dispatch and the New York World of tcday may be said to have been born with the fall of the hammer that then conveyed the St. Louis Evening Dispatch to its new owner. ‘They were born of an Idea, as are all great hu- man achievements, the Idea of which Joseph Pulitzer has been the embodiment throughout his entire career. This Idea is the foundation stone upon wifth their structure still rests and must al- ways rest if they continue to realize Joseph Pulitzer’s conception of the mission of great news- papers. “Public service through publicity” is the Pu- Its keynote was sounded by Mr. Pulitzer himself in one inaugural sentence: ‘‘The Post-Dispatch w'll serve no party, but the people.” This utterance marked the beginning of a revo- lution in American journalism so beneficently rad- ieal, ‘so fruitful of the best results, so complete in its ultimate and just. dominance, that the true story of its progress to power is now accepted as constituting the most important in this country’s newspaper history. “The Post-Dispatch will serve no party, but the people” was written by Joseph Pulitzer two days after his purchase of the St. Louis: Evening Dis- patch. Within forty-eight hours the Pulitzer Idea hat scored its first victory. It had caused the Evening Dispatch to take a position so fearless- ly independent, so formidable in the right, so con- vincing of its new owner's devotion to the public good, that its only competitor in the St. Louis field, the Evening Post, surrendered at the very beginning of the battle. On Dec. 12, 1878, the two newspapers were consolidated under the title of the Post and Dispatch. With their consolidation Joseph Pulitzer owned what? Merely two unsuccessful newspapers, one a derelict, both devoid of influence, both valueless of themselves, both disastrous ventures to their former owners. A heavy burden, surely, which: he thus voluntarily took upon his own shoulders. The Post-Dispatch Platform. But under this burden now, and for the first time, was the sustaining and uplifting strength of a new and splendidly true Idea and of a genius consecrated to the preaching of this Idea for civ- Hization’s acceptance and benefit. In the first issue of his two newspapers consolidated into one Mr. Pulitzer wrote: “The Post-Dispatch will serve no party, but the people; will be no organ of Republicanism, but the organ of truth; will follow no caucuses, but its own convictions; will not support the administra- tion, but criticise it; will oppose all frauds and shams, wherever and whatever they are; will ad- vocatd principles and ideas rather than prejudice and partisanship. “These ideas and principles are ” prosieely the same as those upon which our Government was originally founded, and to which we,owe our country’s miarveious growth and development. Bhey are the hey that made a Republic awa The man who wrote this announcement was then a young man, barely past his thirtieth year. The newspaper for which he wrote as its responsi- ble and directing head was but one day old. It is reasonably certain in the very nature of things that no one who read the issue of the Post-Dis- patch of Dec. 12, 1878, entertained the faintest re- alization of the great new era in journalism then and there brought to its dawning. The light of the new day was clearly seen only by this young man whose entire little fortune of $2500 went to the purchase of the derelict newspaper of a nom- inal circulation of but 1000 through which he spoke. He alone knew their potentiality when he wrote these words: “The Post-Dispatch will serve no party, but the people.”’ ' And he has maintained an inflexible fidelity to the pledge then given. Again, five years later, on May 11, 1883, in his inaugural editorial in the New York World, of which he then became the owner, Mr. Pulitzer sounded this note of “Public service through pub- licity” as follows: “There is room in this great and growing city for a journal that is not only cheap but bright, not only bright but large, not only large but truly democratic—dedicated to the cause of the people rather than of purse-potentates.”’ The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York World, both founded on the basis of public serv- ice through publicity thus so inflexibly insisted upon by Mr. Pulitzer, have attained tremendous circulations and vast influence. Their records of achievement must testify to the soundness of Mr. Pulitzer’s conception of the true mission of @ newspaper. The New York World's record of public service per- formed during its 25 years of existence .will be found set forth elsewhere in this issue.. The St. Louis Post- Dispatch’s record of public Service performed during its 80 years of existence is-here set forth as briefly as possible: Tax-Dodgers. The Post-Dispatch took up its task of public serv- ice with itg first issue. It began the publication of a list of tagWicagers in St. Louis. In these lists were found the names of many who were men of wealth and influence, but tbe Post-Dispatch was not divert- ed from -loyalty to the great mass of the people who bore their tax burden without shirking. It con- tinued and completed fis list of tax dodgers, with the result that those guilty of making obviously false returns and of negligent acceptance of false state- ments were induced to change their course. The next tax returns filed after the Post-Dispatch exposure were more equitable, the community profiting by this compelled reform, The Gambling Ring. Following this initial service to the people, the Post-Dispatch began a war against an evil power until then supposed to be impregnable. The City of St. Louis and State: of Missouri were under the domination of a masterfully organized Gambling Ring. The Louisiana Lottery, the Missouri Lottery and kindred concerns were operating under State charters. Gambling houses were conducted openly in St. Louis. A powerful clique of gamblers dictated political mominationg and compelled elections. The Post-Dispatch fought and overthrew the Gambling Ring in a bitter war extending through several years. Subsequentiy, when the evil conditions thus removed were sought to be re-established, the Post-Dispatch resumed the fight, was again victorious, and .open gambling in St. Louis has been unknown since that “ime. | at. a Ps ath ae 4 ie - @ : WOO, oe . sy Co BR OF ia sthativrn |

the cleaning of city streets. A smallpox epidemte threatened. It was invited by garbage and other de- caying matter on the streets. There was no municipal machinery for the proper removal of this garbage, the cleaning of the streets and alleys and the fumiga- tion of infected places. The disease had already ob- tained a foothold in certain localities and was spread- ing. In response to the Post-Dispatch s appeais, the *. large*fund necessary for the work was raised, citi- zens contributing liberally, the streets were thorough- ly cleaned, the city was put in sanitary condition and the impesding epidemic of smallpox was averted. The Post-Dispatch began, in 184, a movement which resylted in the creation of the Firemen’s Pen- sion Fund for the reifef of members of the St. Louts Fire Department ‘injured in the performance. of duty. “A tuna amounting to $75,000 was accumulated and ‘Aegisiatfon seCured for its regular establishment and control, ; The Gas Monopoly.

State and reduced to the position of an outlaw policy- slip vender, the people of t.outsiana testified to their ap-neciation of the Post-Dispatch’s work by a speé- cial vote of thanks. Charity Funds. During the Mississippi floods of May, 1892, many wagonloads of food and clothing and $18,486 in money were contributed to flood sufferers in response to ap- peals. by the Post-Dispatch. The steamer Percy Swain, engaged by the Post-Dispatch, had gone on a voyage of discovery and rescue, carrying also a staff of reporteys and photographers. The story of the expedition was graphically totd, and contri- bugions poured in rapidly, coming at the rate of $1000 a day... The total fund ultimately raised by the Post-Dispatch was larger than any similar fund ever raised by any other newspaper in so short a time. The Post-Dispatch Children’s Summer Camp was established at the old home ,place of the Semples of Tree View Farm, Piasa Bluffs, in June, 1893. Its purpose was to save the lives of the children of the tenement districts. of St. Louis, sick and suffering throughout an exceptionally hot summer. The Post- Dispatch raised a fund of over $4000, in addition to contributed camp materials, outfits and food sup- plies, and during the summer a total of 836 babies and mothers were taken to this camp. Owing to the stagnation of business and industrial enterprise caused by the panic of 1893, thousands of men anxious to work were wnable to find employ- ment in St. Louis and great suffering resulted. The Post-Dispatch proposed that a large fund be raised, to be devoted to giving work to the unemployed. The plan suggested was the digging of a basin for a lake in Forest Park. The fund raised reached the “normous total of $39,215.79, and a total of 20,000 other- wise unemployed (men were given employment. An extension wf the lake in Carondelet Park was also dug by laborers paid from the fund raised by the Post-Dispatch, under similar conditions of employ- ment. The Post-Dispatch inaugurated and took an active part in the movement for the relief of the destitute poor suffering unusual hardship during the exception- ally severe winter of 1895-6. Their need was great. The Post-Dispatch purchased a large stock of blank- ets, fuel and food. These supplies were loaded into large vans. Fach van, in chargé of Post-Dispatch reporters, visited the sections of the city where the need was greatest and distributed the supplies, as- sisted by the police and representatives of charitable socteties. . The tornado of May, 1896, caused great devastation in St. Louls. Many persons were made homeless, and a great majority of these persons thus threwn on the streets were destitute. One of the first contributions for their relief was from Joseph Pulitzer, who sent his check for $6000. Other contributions poured in througl the Post-Dispatch until the total reached a large sum. Safety on Street Cars. It is due to the movement begun and prosecuted to a successful termination by the Post-Dispatch that every street car in St. Louis is now supplied with a fender and pow@r brake and every car is vestibuled to protect the motorman from inclement weather. The street railway companies fought the movement, but legisiation was finally secured compelling them to adopt fender devices approved by the Board of Pub- lic Improvements, to vestibule al! cars and to insta’) power brakes on every car in their service. The Missourt regiments mobilized at Chickamauga in the early days of the Spanish War were subjected to unnecessary hardships because of the: failure of the Quartermaster’s Department of the army prop- erly to supply the camp. The Post-Dispatch under- took the collection and shipment of needed food sup- piles to these Missouri troops. There was « gen-: erous popular response to its appeals, and five great refrigerator cars were filled and sent to Chicka- mauga in charge of representatives of Post-Dis- pateh. Upon arrival at’ Chickamauga these supplies were turned over to the Missaurt r officers for distribution througheut the various companies. tigen Taree tous hurricane and flood of 190, The for contributions«to a relief fund.

/_ JOURNALISM. i ‘ Min dvd 4 @ increase in the intelligence and discrimina- ! tion of the people has in one way very largely modified the power of the press. Editorial writers have by no means such influence as they had in days gone by. The newspapers are taken more for the news than for advice as to the lessons which should be. drawn from it. Peo- ple make more allow- ance now for the bias of a paper than they ever did before. At is impossible to suppose that the amount of matter in the modern newspaper furnished for 1, 2, 3 or 5 cents is likely to increase in the future. The Business of furnishing news to a people is a business like the business of furnishing them en- tertainment from the stage, and an outsider is unable to understand the currents of th. mind of the reading public except as he may study the columns, the subjects and the methods of treat- ing them that he finds in the modern successful newspaper. Very few newspaper proprietors have such a patronage as to enable them to make.their news- paper that which they think a newspaper ought to be, and while the editor occupies tRe position of an instructor of public taste, and ought to ex- ercise the function as such with more constancy and courage than he usually does, the limitations that there are upon him by reason of the public demand those of us who would criticise the press know little of. Certainly journalism is a profession in which men of discriminating intelligence, of hi_h courage, of accurate judgment, of a love of ‘ruth and real patriotism can find a sphere of useful- ness not excelled in any other; and if the stand- ards of truth, of taste, of refinement and of moral tone set by some of the most successful of the newspapers shall not improve in the next genera- tion, it will vindicate the pessimists of tcday. In the change which has taken place in the influence of the editorial writer and the increased importance in the statement of news, the influ- ence of the college-bred journalist must continue to be of the greatest weight. It needs a trained mind, a judicial temperamént, quick perceptions and a high standard of integrity and self-respect, () F JOURNALISM I have this w say: The ~” together with a nice and graphic literary touch to make the leading special correspondence of the paper, which in many respects is now its most influential part, what it should be. It is a field well worth the ambition of any man to succeed in. It has many temptations. It has rewards which may be permanent and solid, or, as the correspondent yields to the temp- tations, may be meretricious and temporary. THE VEWSPAPER BY BARON KOGORO TAKAHIRA. Ambassador From Japan. | MERICAN journalism is a typical illustra- A tion of the free press in its true sense. It reports every act of man, every kind of thing and every shade of thought. In the thoroughness of statements and the promptness ef correspondence it can never be excelled. I admire it as the most gigantic representa- tion of human aciivities. The World is one of the best examples of its kind. AMERICA TEACHES BY ERNESTIO TEODORO MONET A. MILAN, May 1. S a veteran journalist I join with all my A heart in the honor that you are today pay- , ing Mr. Pulitzer on the occasion on which he celebrates his twenty-fifth anniversary as pro- prietor and director of the New York World. * As an Italian devoted from my youth to the giorious fatherland of Washington and Emerson, I join all the more heartily in this celebration, inasmuch as, while honoring one of the Nestors of the political press, I am at the same time pay- ing a tribute to the Repyblic of the Ufited States, which, having obtained liberty, the foundation of all civic life, has given the greatest power to journalism, that swift expounder of every good idea, at the same time the mirror and propagafor of public opinion. Eurbdpe was still bathed in the blood of 20 years of war; she fretted under the scourge of, despotism and conquest when your fathers founded the first peace society. Later a whole army of advocates of peace sprang up, with Elihu: Burritt of New England, promoted the first Peace Congress on © our continent in London in 1843, in 1848 at Brus- gels, in 1849 at Paris and Frankfort. Mindful of these facts, encouraged by seeing the United States, without war and almost without an army, increase in populatio: and continually progress, I remember nearly thirty years ago giv- ing to one of my conferences the title motto “America Teaches.” At that time my favorite author was William hg, who for over thirty years never wearied of preaching with unconquer- able eloquence, that welled up from a great, heart, a er a (AZ = OF al Rie PE AE PO aeupomenser MEE GS).

In comments on individuals and on pri- vate affairs I make no claim for journalism that it should be freer than it‘is from the right of every man to have his character or his business protected from unjust attack. The very power which the press exercises im- poses upon it a heavier responsibility, and in the cases where that responsibility has not been felt and acted upon I have little sympathy for the journal that is punished by the condemnation of an honest and impartial jury and by. the imposi- tion of heavy costs. But the business of men who obtain their money from the public—especialy in great financial transactions—should be subject to the same free- dom of criticism as that of public affairs and pub- lic men, and I am of opinion that in England, at least, the too rigorous application of the law_of libel has often been found to protect the vogue and to expose the victim. The comments of the New York World which I have seen on public affairs seem to me to have had for their purpose the protection of the masges CAST Oe BS aT speed And thunder of thy cities—yet would I te ei Salute thee from afar—not chiefly awed By wide domain, mere breadth of governed dust, Not measuring thy greatness and thy power Only by numbers: rather seeing thee As mountainous heave of spirit, emotion huge, Knormous hate and anger, boundless love, And most unknown, unfathomable depth Of energy divine.

If I am to discuss the difference between mod- ern journalism and that of half a century and more ago, I am afraid [ IS sometimes forgotten that 25 years is I shall want more space than can be al-. lowed me. I was on the staff .of the Boston Adver- tiser when the Great Western arrived from Bristol with the latest new from England 26 days old. We had to write the history of Europe for a month cn an hour's notice. The difference be- “tween old journalism and that of our time was well stated ly the elder Bennett. Someone said to him; “What is the secret of a great journal?” He said, with an oath: “Make a great row about something every day.” Later than this time came the modern rule, which is a great mistake, that “Journalism has nothing to do with history’”—except the history of last week. ’ Kor instance, the history of the currency dif- ficulties of England between 1815 and the thirties of the century, or even the forties, would be of the greatest value now. But that is quite be- neath the attention of, modern journalism. I am afraid that the modern journals do not agree with me. But in the old times the rule which was given by the old London Times was that a correspondent in a distant city must have no opinions. He must simply tell the story as it is. The Timés long since violated that rule. But that is a good rule for a rea’ newspaper. co ten? SW id: SERS EONS ee : “ wT A he 2 eee the public weal.

LD, ME Chane The Story of the Post- Dispatch CONTINUED FRe “y Sf PAGE SEVEN Police and Publicity. Upholding Gov. Folk in his suggestion that police trials, in which officers were being tried for wrong- doing, should be open to the public, the Post-Dis- patch, beginning Nov. 23, 1905, made such a vigorous campaign on this line that publicity was made the rule. By this change, the power of the ‘‘bosses’’ in the police force to harass and remove men for po- litical or other unwarrantable causes, was broken. In the fall of 1905, owing to the stringent enfordée- ment. of the Sunday closing law forbidding the sale of liquor on Sunday, seores of so-called clubs were started for the purpose of evading this law. The Post-Dispatch published lists of these clubs and called attention to their true nature, with the result that the evasion of the law was checked. On Sept. 22, 1905, as a culmination of the Post-Dis- patch’s anti-racetrack gambling crusade, the St. Louis police, under orders from Gov. Folk, taided Delmar racetrack, which was outside the city limits. They were at first resisted, but the place was finally closed and has not been reopened. Safety of the People. Several persons having been killed in a collision between a passenger train and a street car on a Sarah street crossing in September, 1904, the Post-Dispatch began a movement for the abolition of grade crossa- ings. Mayor Wells took action which crystallized in ordinances for the depression of railroad tracks in order to rid the city of these perils. On Jan. 3, 1904, following the Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago, the Post-Dispatch started an investiga- tion ‘of the fire pretection conditions tn St. Louis: theaters and other buildings. Conditions were shown that caused a correction of existing evils, and the introduction of life-saving apparatus, asbestos cur- tains and sufficient exits. The exposure resulted also in the passage of a stricter ordinance for fire protection. The Kratz Incident. In January, 1904, the fugitive boodier, Charles Kratz, was brought back to Louis as the result of the Post-Dispatch’s efforts. It was at the suggestion of the Post-Dispatch that Gov. Folk laid the matter of extradition before President Roosevelt, after the Government had ceased its efforts to bring Kratz back, and the Post-Dispatch also sent a special rep- resentative to Mexico, who saw President Diaz and United States Minister Clayton and induced them to move in the matter. Other Works of the Post-Dispatch. During the past three years the Post-Dispatch has given its aid to encourage the growth of the vacation schools which were started under its auspices, and on July 27, 1906, a grand picnic was held in O'Fallon Park, at which thousands of the children of the downtown districts were the guests of the Post-Dis- tch. gris March 4, 1906, the Post-Dispatch announced a gift of a large number of valuable sculptures, replicas ‘of celebrated figures and groups in classic art, to the St. Louis public schools. The schoo! authorities and Prof. Halsey C. Ives of the Museum of Fine Arts made public acknowledgment of the Post-Dispatch’s generosity. During the week of Feb. 15-21, 1906, nfhe students of the Missouri State University were guests of the Post-Dispatch, coming to St. Louls to study the art of journalism. They were initiated into every branch of the work, and wrote and edited a supplement to the Sunday Post-Dispatch of Feb. 18, making a very creditable showing. As a result of this experiment, journalism has béen made a regular feature of the university teaching. | In June, 1907, the Post-Dispatch’s campaign against policy vending in St. Louls drove the New York Policy Co. out of business and abolished the evil. tinual exposures made it impossible for policy to exist in this city. 0 ORM BR By ehe Bo 3 » 3 K iad " bt te if i.

anion f/f? m= Sunday POST-DISPAICH | OF MAY >) un Me ay ra | _ _— IONE See Ie itt NYG ap, a 4 HE Charity Carnival to be held at Forest Park Highlands this week is a new institu- tion in. St. Louis society, a new phase of charity work in this city. This will be the sec- ond annual carnival, the first last spring having been given at Delmar Garden, with a net profit for charity of more than $50,000. So tremendous Was the.suctess of last year’s enterprise and so bright is the promise for the second carnival that the society women back of the enterprise declare it has established itself as a permanent thing in the life of St. Louis. In St. Louis and in every other city in the Unit- ed States there are women whose social station and whose personal prestige commands a large following in anything they undertake of a social or semi-social nature. They can accomplish much in philanthropy. When such women band together and give their time and influence to an enterprise which is so- cial on its face, but the object of which is to raise funds for charitable or philanthropic use, the success of such.a movement is assured. There are many persons who would not contribute directly to charity or who, if they did, would make but small contributions. These, however, will attend a charity carnival, a charity ball or other social function given for charity and open their purse liberally to make the enterprise a success. That a vast amount of good can be dofe and that money can be raised for financing important philanthropic works by this means has been rec- ognized for many years. The iuea has been used with suecess in charitable work for a long time, but every now and then some new form must be given to the social phase of the matter. The old ideas and the old forms grow stale. ~ sermggmert fresh, new and novel must take their place. The Charity Carnival of the St. Louis society woman was originated to satisfy the desire for newness and novelty. The suggestion seemed in- spired. It aroused popular interest in this city from the start as nothing of the kind ever had done before. The use of Delmar Garden for the first great fete was free. The newspapers advertising in the form of preliminary “writeups” cost nothing. Practically everything was donated and all the golden stream that poured into the tills of the various booths was clear profit for charity. This year even more elaborate preparations have been made. There have been many new ideas introduced, many clever suggestions made and much careful attention given to the perfec- tion of every detail. The most prominent women in the city are giving their time and brains generously to the project. The most aristocratic matrons in the city and the fairest young debutantes of St. Louis will help to make the carnival a success and will be on the grounds to meet the public face to face in a way they meet that public only once a year. Democracy is one of the chief characteristics of ‘the Charity Carnival. The women behind the coun- ters of the various booths and all those otherwise active in the work are social leaders, but the gen- eral public is invited and is made welcome at the Carnival, It is the entire city of St. Louis in- .dulging in the two-fold occupation of having a good time and making up a purse for the relief of suffering and the gladdening of hearts that are sad and lives that are dark. Left to itself the public might forget the works struggling for existence in the city. Bven solicitors of funds, making personal appeals, would fail in many cases. Just here the Charity Carnival and similar enterprises step into the breach. The Carnival belongs to everybody True, the women at the head of it are social! prominent and the Carnival is “written up” in the society columns of the newspapers, but for all! that it is not a society affair. It is the people's 3 a a # ‘I 3 ee Re de.

Vv e @ ee ee ° @ But now, viewing the commanding figure of the great war President from fiar—after the lapse of more than forty years—the present generation has waked up to the man’s true place in the world’s history. It is not sur- prising that there should be a lively interest in the minute affairs of his najestic life. | Nor is it surprising thut his personality should be in- vested now with something of the legendary mist that clin to the numes of Webster, of Washington, of Napoleon, of Columbus, of Henry of Navarre, of Caesar and of Cicero. But the themes of the recent controversies avout Lincoln have been striking and urique. What have these controversies been? As to whether he ever took a ¢crink. As to whether he walked in his sleep. As to whether he was a simritualist. As to whehter he wore wi'skers when he was inaugurated the first time. As to whether he was an agnostic, And other matters equal- ly as novel. A Quaint Anecdote. Of these contentions the first to be precipitated was that relative to his attitude toward alcoholics The pro- Libtion forces proclaimed him as a teetotaler for the purpore of using him as an august example to be fol- lewed by the men of today. That set going the now famous de- bate of letter writers and old citi- zens on the momentous question: “Did Lincoln ever take a drink of whisky or wine?” Those who believed ir the beginning that Lincoln was a total abstainer, continue to believe so. Those, on the other Hand, who felt convinced that he would “‘take a nip.” remain unshaken in their con- victions. But the cofitroversy gave te the American yweople one quaint and almost startling anecdote of the immortal Li | This tale came from the mouth of Enoch Harpole, a Chicago lawyer, who declared it was related to him by the late William Green of Peters- burg, formerly Internal Revenue Col- lector for the Peoria District. Ac- cording to Lawyer Harpole, young Green, in his youth a resident of Sa- lem, the early home of Lincoln, one day engaged in some games of chance with Mr. Berry, Lincoln’s partner in a country store. Mr. Berry had a anrewd trick of Pepblins up his es

e e e °@ ee ee fingers and then betting anybody they couldn’t figure out the initial digit. The ingenuous Mr. Green— vhat’s in a name—lost $5 trying to pick out the finger.” ‘Now, William,” said the solemn Lincoln, privately, “you mustn’t ever gizimble any more, and if you promise you won't, I'll tell you how you can win your $5 back. Just bet Berry that Abe Lincoln can lift a whisky barrel and take a drink out of the bunghole.” With faith in “Abe,” young Green made the bet. Lincoln, Mr. Green told Lawyer Harpole, seized the bar- rei by the chines, lifted it and took a long “swig” from the bunghole, after which he carefully set the barrel dcwn in its former position. Mr. Green remarked, however, says Law- yer Harpole, that that was “the only time he ever saw Lincoln take a drink.” The teetotalism of Lincoln is vouched for also by M. R. Thayer, eged 93, an early day merchant at Springfleld, Ill. Also by Henry B. Rankin, who used to be a law clerk in the office of Herndon & Lincoln at Springfleld; by Mrs. M. S. Edwards, also of Springfield; by Maj. J. B. Mer- win, now of Midd\erield, Conn., but formerly of Springfield, who says that he and Lincoln made prohibition speeches together .n the campaigns nf 1854 and 1865, when there was a movement afoot to incorporate pro- hibition Into the Minois Constitution. Lincoln himself is quoted in the Daily National Intelligence, pub- lished at Washington, D. C:, in the issue of Sept. 29, 1863, as follows: “If I were better known than I am, you would not need to be told that in the advocacy of the cause of tem- perance you have a.friend and sym- pathizer in me. When I was a young man I, in a humble way, made tem- perance speeches, und | think I .may say that to this day I have never by my example belied what I then said.” The discussion as to whether Lin- coin was a spiritualist was started py a remarkable statement made by “arl Schurz in his memoirs published by McClure’s Magazine. The state- ment in question was in chat portion cf the memoirs published in the April (1908) number of the magazine. Schurz told of'a visit to friends named Tiedemann, in Fhiladelphia. Membeis «cf the family had been ‘SUINDAY MAGA” NE—ST. | — prominent both in Germany and in the United States. Two sons of the hosts had been killed in the Union Ariny and their mother had become a rpiritualist in the hope of com- municating with them. Her daughter Was a medium and when “controlled” by “‘spirits’’ would write messages. Schurz was on his way from his home in Wisconsin to Washington, at the- request of President Johnson, to discuss with fhe Chief Executive the latter’s reconstruction measures in North Carolina, which many persons »t the North thought did not suffi- ciently safeguard the interests of the recently liberated slaves. During the evening the family held a seance and the daughter first wrote cown a message from the poet Schil- ler, after which Schurz asked the girl, who was in a sort of trance, to call up the spirit of Lincoln. His account of what followed reads: Lincoln’s Spirit Talks. “But something still stranger was in store for me. Schiller’s spirit would say no more, and I called for the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. After several minutes had elapsed, the girl wrote that Abraham Lincoln's spirit was present. “TI asked whether he knew for what purpose President Johnson had sum- moned me to Washington. “The answer came: ‘He wants you to make an important journey for him’ | asked where that journey would take me. Answer: ‘He will tell] you tomorrow.’ I asked, further, whether I should undertake that jour- ney Answer: ‘Yes, do not fail.’ (1 may add, by the way, that at that time I had not the slighthest antici paiion as to what President John- sci’s intention with regard to me ‘Was; the most plausible supposition I entertained was that he wished to discuss with me the points urged in my letters,)” When Schurz met the President. Mr. Johnson requested him to take a irip through the\South for the pur-

tive to “a journey” ver moirs then continue: ‘“~ “Having disposed of this Wwatter, I asked whether the spirit of Wincoln had anything more to say tor The answer came: ‘Yes; you w “¢ a

Senator of the United States.’ This struck me as so fanciful that I could hardly suppress a laugh; but I asked further: ‘From what State?’ An- swer: ‘From Missouri.’ This was more provokingly mysterious _ still; but there the conversation ceased. Hardly anything could have been more improbable at that time than that I should be a Senator of the United States frofn the State of Mis- souri. “My domicile was In Wisconsin and I was then thinking of returning there. I had never though of remov- ine from Wisconsin to Missouri, and tfere was not the slightest prospect of m¥ ever doing so. “But—to foresiall my Mmarrative— two years later I was surprised by an entirely unsought and unexpected business propesition which took me to St. Louis, and in January, 1869, the Legislature of Missouri elected ne a Senator of the United States. | then remembered the prophecy made to me at the spirit seance in the house of my friend Tiedemann in Fhiladelphia, which during the inter- vening years I had never thought of. I should hardly have trusted my memory with regard to it, had it not teen verified by friends who wit- nessed the occurrence.” The recent vivacious controveray over the question “Did Licoln wear whiskers when inaugurated the first time?” originated in Omaha, Neb. Twenty thousand school children tiere contributed a dime apiece to buy a bronze statue of Lincoln. The s.iatue was made by Zelezny, the Vi- ennese sculptor. It was without whiskers. immediately all the art critics of Omaha were up in arms. “Lincoln ufithout whiskers!” they cried, “why that would make Omaha the-laughing stock of the world!”’ The statue was an eyesore to every art critic in Oma- ha, and nobody ever guessed before how rich in art critics Omaha was. The town split up into a “whisker faction” and a “no-whisker party.” The public libiary was ransacked for

portraits of Lincoln. Old prints were unearthed. Graybeards who had seen Lincoln were interviewed. Whenever a picture of Lincoln with whiskers was found, then the party led by the militant art critics shouted ‘“‘tTurrah!! Whenever a smooth- snaven Lincoln stared out from the pages of an old book, friends of the statue exulted gleefully: “I told you so!” At last the argument over-

mgt

flowed the bounds vf Omaha and swept the country. Much was pub- lished about it in newspapers. ; Finally enterprising historical re- search unearthed old prints of Lin- coin at his first inauguration. His chin was swathed in whiskers. The controversy was settled. The art crit- ics considered themselves vindicated. But the school children, who knew iLhut for long intervals in his life Lincoln was whiskerless, were well pieased with their bronze statue, re- gardless of the mighty art critics of the great art center—Omaha, Another argument was started a few weeks ago when Ross Freeman, a Chicago youth, was acquitted on a charge of burglary on the plea that ie was a somnambulist and that the crime was committea while he slept. His lawyer eloquently called atten- tion to the fact that the great Lincoln als walked in his sleep. That was enough to set the amateur historians all agog. There are now “pro” and “anti-somnambulism” parties among the great army of Lincojn students. Some

historians have intimated —

that Lincoln was an agnostic and others have denied the tion hotly. The latter with much feeling that the great American, the august Lincoln only was not an agnostic, - that he was a very reverent, God- fearing man, and point for proof to many reverent utterances of his, both spoken and written. These are the most recent of the Lincoln controversies. Popular in- terest In the war President is thor- oughly awakened. The public is won- dering now what will be the theme of the next dispute about him, round whom the mists of legend are begin ning to cluster already, and who is looming larger and larger in the hefro- ic past.

The $1,000,000 memorial to Shaks- peare which it is proposed shall be erected in London, will be the most costly monument in that city. Com-

pared with this, the Scott memorial in Edinburgh was a cheap affair, cost- ~~ ing only $77,800.

WAITING trial in Chicago on A the charge of passing bogus checks has been Mrs. Alice Webb Duke, a woman whose fall has been as sheer as her rise was stellar: who, within the brief period of three Years has been the mistress of mil- lions and has eaten the bread of pov- erty; has been a social queen and a handcuffed prisoner. / And yet she has hopes and dreams as bright as those of her vouth and a faith in herself that she will be again a woman of fortune, with lux- uries and inf'’uence and station. Just now the odds seem all against her. From every side she is bein z harrassed by creditors for amounts which, in the face of what she has — and what she has had, are piti- u With difficulty she _ procured, through the aid of a professional bondsman, the necessary $2090 surety to take her from the cell where she was confined upon the charge of hav- ing given two fraudulent checks to- taling $125—less than she spent every day upon her whims and pastimes. Her spirit, too, seems partly brok- cn, though she does not confess that she has yielded an inch of her self- assurance and her confidence. Through the months of her hardships and reverses after her divorce from Brodie L. Duke, half-brother of the head of the great Tobacco Trust. she eeked no mercy and no favor. She de- fied the great combination to which she attributes her financial ruin and her social degradation. She threw down the commercial gauntlet, went into Wall street and essaved ‘to fight on equal ground the combination of millions. But at that time she had not vet tasted the final wretchedness of a police station cell, had never been subjected to the mental tortures of Leing photographed and Bertillioned and given a number, experiences which she has now undergone in tears and hysterics and swooning. When she at last found herself within the gloomy Jail, consort of a motiey array of criminals, without bail and without friends, she vielded. She sent forth an appeal to the man whe had made her his wife to help her out of the last stage of a pitiful plight. The plea was to the man who not only had given her his name and his millions and the social standing that those things brought with them, but who, from the depths of a madhouse. where he had been confined, had sworn — that he would defy the world or “ Thumbs Down for Her. And when this piteous cry for mercy | him and the weeping woman waited in a dismal cell 1000 miles ‘@way upon his answer—he turned thumbs down. Brodie Duke was found. by a mes- ‘senger in his North Carolina retreat He gave forth a safe, “sane and con- - Servative interview,” in which he said that it was too bad—really too bad. her?

She ‘painits that the checks, given to a hotel where she lived, were worthless. Her defense is that, in her state of. nervous excitement she wro'e them in the wrong book, upon the wrong bank. Ip. 1905 the world was amazed to hear that Alice Webb, already some-. what known as a financier of bold s tions had become the wife of Duke, the multi-millionaire. ‘whose fortunes were once estimated at more than $10,000,000. There was a social uproar and fash- fonable Hotel Winton, in Manhattan, where Duke and his bride were housed, became the news center of ‘tee world for the time. fier past was raked over only as an army oi ambitious and keen detec- tives can rake over a woman's past.

She had come to Duke to interest him ip a syndicate of 2000 acres of Texas land apout Nacogdoches, where she proposed to raise tobacco and to launch an industry which she hoped would in time be the mother lode of American tobacco. Dute was interésted at once. He lis°ened intently. A close and dispas- sioned obeerver might have seen that while the woman was expounding the aiguments on Texas as a tobacco Sinte, he was following the grace- ful movements of her pretty hands; 2nd while she earnestly told of her great financial prospects, other pres- pects, that made him feel again the fancies of youth and which brought him far from tobacco lands and busi- ness affairs, were within his mind. When she had finished her argu- ments, and, flushing, expectant and in doubt, she looked up into his eyes for her answer. It was this: “You are really a remarkable little woman. I admire vou immensely.” “But the tobacco ‘ands—ihe syndi- cate?” “Oh, yes; the tobacco land: and the syndicate. Oh, yes; I want them, too. But, little woman, | want some- thing else more. I want you. I went von to marry me.” Now the force of the woman's gres‘ lwauty has died. No longer can she n: ke men long for her. But she thinks she can still hypnotize men to want her tobacco ranch and to f ence the dazzling project to which she is devoting her life. When the denouement of the mar- riage came, none was more surprised than James B. Duke, the half broth- er of Brodie, who is president of the trust and custodian of the family’s millions. He visited his brother, scolded him ard told him that his crasy whim must end and end abruptly. The bridegroom smiled complacent- ly and shook his‘ head. He said be was “of age” and he was happy and he intended to keep witigghim the lit- tle wife whom he had elected to a seat of the mighty. And that if his half-brother didn’t like it his half- brother could go away and continue not to like it. For a month or so the Brodie Dukes whirled through a social maze. Din- ners at the Winton, automobile trips, sojourns at the Duke summer home in the Adirondacks, diamonds, servants galore and Paris gowns were the or- cer of the day. Bet this was not James to last. Luke, finding his brother obdurate and too happy to listen to “reason,” suapped the law on him and Brodie Duke was torn from the side of his biide and incarcerated in a private sanitarium. From there he sent forth defiance to his brother and the world, cried thut he would never willingly abro- gate his marriage nor part from the woman he loved. This brought him quick punigsh- rent. His brother, with all the in- fluence of his millions, removed him from the sanitarium and had him committed to Bellevue Asylum as a lunatic, sued in a court for the ap- pointment of a conservator for Bro- die’s estate and based his main argu- ment of Brodie’s insanity upon the circumstances of his marriage. A few days in Bellevue were enough Duke capitulated. His lrother visited him and they came to terms. Brodie promised to renounce and, if possible, divorce his bride and mate her a settlement. Divorce and Revenge. Mrs. Du'‘re, who had suffered keen- ly through her husband’s imprisgon- ment, during which she had made successive and vain attempts to Inter- view him, spurned the offers. She sotisfied herself that her husband had really repudiated her. Then with all the hatred of a wom- an in such circumstances she started forth to fight the Dukes and the Trust with all of their millions, She dedicated her life to the dual mis- sion of revenge on the Dukes and the ruination of the Trust, which she pro- posed to accomplish by building up « rival industry that would crush them She sued for divorce, and severa] ‘(imes her husband was about to de- ‘fault. But he was spurred from he- lind by James and his lawyers and fiually made such a powerful fight that the woman withdrew her suit, which was based on grounds of de- sertion. Then Duke sued for divorce, charg- ing gross drunkenness. Scores of pri- vate harpies had been delving into the wemcn'’s past even deeper than the reporters had scraped, and it was in the evidence for the divorce suit in New York that the storm of revela- tions regarding Mrs. Duke came be- fore the’ public. It was alleged that she had in- veigled Duke into marriage as part of “a gigantic conspiracy which she had formed with other alleged designing, unscupulous and criminal women, who, it was set forth, had formed a combination—not to sell Texas tobac- ‘co lands, but to snare into marriage aged millionaires whom they could reach through the alleged subterfuge of a legitimate mission.

She gave forth statements rirporting to be inside facts on the predatory nature of the Trust, which did the tobacco corporation injury. She asserts the Trust gave battle. Night and day Mrs. Duke was fol- lowed and spied upon. From time to time stories were judiciously stolen in'o the columns of the press reflect- ing on her character so she says.

Mrs. Duke persists that the Trust has instigated the personal difficul- ties in which she now finds herself and which have beset her ever since James B. Duke crossed her path. She has given forth angry and ap- pealing statements from time to time, in which she gave her reasons for believing that the Trust was har- rzesing her.

Engineers and geologists who have been ob- serving the action:of the hills surrounding Cin- cinnati have arrived at the conclusion that it is being brought about by the same agencies that caused the San Francisco earthquake. ‘“Com- pound landslides” is the name given the Cincin- nati variety, because three of the four different causes of landslides are found here, viz., deposi- tion, when resulting from overloading by super- ficial deposits, which may include the erection of so many heavy buildings on the hillsides, alternation, when the consistency is impaired by disintegration or other causes; or a combination of these causes. The less destructive occur when gravel, sand and other detrital materials rest- ing on a slope becomes so permeated with water that they can no longer resist the action of grav- ity, and the more destructive are due to a slipping of a part of the solid rock in consequence of a softening of some more permeable layer in a mass of which the strata have a suitable in- clination. No rocks are impervious to water; all are broken by fissures into irregular blocks and these fissures. increase immensely because the surface is exposed to the action of atmospheric water; even the solid parts of rocks, 1. e., the blocks themselves, are penetrated with capillary fis- sures, which allow water to reach every part. Thus, the rock is decomposed to a great depth the surface. These changes, taking place more rapidly in than in others. give rise to to @ great: be responsi ble for numerous landslides in Cincinnati cently. In the process of distintegration the original blocks lose their prismatic form and become more or less rounded, acting something like ball-bearings during the slipping process. A Former Landslide. All rocks are composed partly of insoluble materials, and partly of materials which are slowly dissolved by atmospheric water. In the process of time, therefore, these latter are. dis- solved out and the rock crumbles. (Cincinnati’s hills are composed chiefly of sandstone in which carbonate of lime is the cementing material—the glue that holds the grains of sand together. This substance being soluble in carbonic acid (atmos- pheric water), is easily washed out. And that is just what is happening, according to those who make the earth's crust their study. Unless heroic measures are taken it is believed that the Queen City may wake up some morn- ing, in the not very distant future, to find itself a mass of twisted iron and debris, its topography so changed that its oldest resident, should he survive, would not recognize it. The change of the topography of Mount Adams and Mount Au- burn, east of the business section, is so appar- ent that the residents of the valley have become alarmed. The landslide in the same section of the city 11 years ago, when half a dozen blocks of residences were swept away and many per- sons were injured, is still tresh in the minds -of hundreds who live in the East End. So grave is the danger considered at the pres- ent time that the city authorities have been appealed to to reinforce their preventive meas- ures that just now give evidence of being almost H fissures re- in ma- ~ ks 9 ENTIPE ROADWAY ON PRICE HILL SLID DOWN, 40 PEOPLE WITH //7 eae _ ary otal CLEARING AWAY D£ZBR/S ; AFTE Fe LANOSL/O serew. ‘The jar of the passing cars is so great on Price Hill that many residents have com- plained of their inability to sleep. Hills are -the result of some disturbance on the earth’s surface. The strata were originally horizontal, but as the result of the disturbance they are found in every conceivable position and place. Sometimes they retain their original hori- zontality, but are raised above their original level, but in most hills—and Price Hill is one of these—it is undulating and irregular, and great landslides may result from the slightest jar at the critical moment, or from gradual disintegration, which latter is aided by the products of vegeta- ble decomposition, especially ammonia.

This retaining wall, too, is said to be weakening. A few weeks ago a strip of land about three hundred yards long and one hundred yards wide began to slide down from Russell street in the East End, and there is barely enough of the street left to permit traffic of those who are willing to take the risk of bodily injury. For several blocks the slide is up to the houses and they are threatened. Many of their occu- pants have fled to other parts of the city in ter- ror and those that have the temerity to re- main in the neighborhood are begging the city officials to take some action to save their prop- erty.

At the head of Main street, to the north of which are the Walnut hills, the crumbling roc's show what the landslide did to the Main street inclined plane. The Price Hill incline, to the west of the city proper, was so disarranged by the settling of the various strata that compose the hill that it had to be shut down and will be entirely rebuilt.

C., by a young man form- erly of Peterborough, Ontarfo. The following are extracts from the. letter: “Two Indian gifis, pretty little squaws, not yet 14 years old, were sold to the highest bidders in the open markct at Alert Bay in the cool gray dawn of last Thursday morning. One thousand dollars cash was paid for the girl who was first sold. Rose, a dark-eyed and slight girl from Ri- vera Inlet, was the second put up to barter. “Idly and wonderingly, she actually looked on and listened to the cold-hearted tribesmen, with the practiced sagacity of trained cattle buyers, ad- vancing the price of herself, $500 to nearly half as much body and soul, from Indian Girls. blankets. When the bidding was ended the girl was carried—surprised and heart-broken-——to the tent of the man who now owned her. “A girl named Rebecca, now at Alert Bay, has been sold for a ‘vife on three different occasions. She is not yet 20 years old. These girls are not consulted In any way before they are sold. Their fathers or their nearest relatives sell them to the men who pay the most for them.” Strange as it may seem, a lot of money is made out of policemen's castoff uniforms.

IE curse of money,” young Frank Gould called it the ' other day when, sick at heart over the suit for divorce just filed against him, he spoke of the do- mestic unhappiness of the House of Gould. That was a startling thought. Wherever the wires of the Western Union thread their way, wherever the long tracks of the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain and Wabash rail- roads stretch uphill and down, into and through city and village and field, thousands of people are contributing of their money to swell thé riches of the Goulds. And all that money— every dollar gathered from the fat jlenty of the West and Southwest— is laden with the germs of a woeful canker that feeds upon the hearts of old Jay Gould’s children. Anna Gould has drunk deep of the cup of grief. Her “powder puff Count,” whom she divorced, came near dissipating her fortune in a mad cnreer of prodigality that made gay Paris gasp. He came near breaking her heart hy his cruelty, his insults and his notorious escapades. And now she is entangled with another person of the same sort, a cousin to the author of her matrimonial sorrows, namely, Helie of Sagan. Howard Gould and his wife, who was Katherine Clemmons, an actress, are parties litigant to a divorce suit that smells of vices hardly to be men- tioned in print. It has involved the New York detective bureau in a scandal and besmirched conspicuous names. And now Frank (‘“Helen’s baby,” they used to call him, because of the strong affection between him and bis ‘ philanthropic older sister), has been sued for a limited divorce by his beautiful roung wife, who was Helen Kelly. He loves her, his friends say, but all his millions cannot buy the one great boon—happines, faith, ce. “The curse of money!” Is it pos- ' gible that the ultimate end of the great Gould rai!way system travers- - Ing the Southwest is simply to break the hearts of one family of brothers and sisters resident in New York and Paris? Can it be that the clerks and auditors at their desks a few blocks from where I sit writing in St. Louis -}eally are like so many chemists com- pounding poison for the Goulds? Are the Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun- iam trains thundering into and out of the St. Louls Union Station noth- ing but juggernauts beneath whose wheels the Goulds are 64 Musing thus, I went to the Union Ftation and sought out an Iron Moun- tain flagman. His face was wrapped 4m gloom and he had a look of dejec- Ucn. “What is the matter with you?” I asked. “Are you depressed because of the troubles in the Gould family, : ‘ “No: - that is nothing to me. I make a small ealary and I have a mother and four ‘linked with institute garnishment proceedings, and if he does I'll lose my job.” “You ought to be glad, however, that you’re not one of the Goulds,” I said. . “Well, I wish I was,” he replied quickly, “if you mean the Goulds that own this road. Why, they’re so rich they don’t know what they really are worth.” ’ “Yes,” said I, “but young Frank Conld, who is a very desolate man since his wife sued him for divorce, sava all the domestic unhappiness which has rent his family is due to that wealth. He calls it the ‘curse oi money.’ ”’ The young flagman looked at me almost incredulously. Then he said: “Why, the Goulds ought to be the happiest people in the world. I’ve seen some of them in their private cars on western trips—regular rolling paiaces, those cars. They have every- thing in the world—that is, I thought they had. A Tragic Story The story of the Goulds is the most remarkable, most amazing, most trag- ic yet to spring from the accumula- tion of stupendous fortunes in Ameri- ca. And it is of the liveliest interest in St. Louis and the West. for in this part of the country is much of the property which composes the vast Gould estate and fro mthis section flows the revenue which enables the Coulds to maintain their Georgian courts, their Castle Goulds and their Petit Trianon reproductions in the Avenue Malakoff, Paris. The farms, the mines, the factories, the mer- chants, the bankers of Missouri and nll this section, pay tribute to the Goulds and multiply the curse against which Frank cried out so bitterly. No American millionaire ever was hated with the ferocious popular hate that blazed out around Jay Gould at intervals in his career. His name was “Black Friday” and a hundred other days and schemes that were execrable in the popular mind. He even came near being lynched and had to flee from bloodthirsty mobs. News of his death was received with dry eyes and hard words over the country. But he left a fortune of $80,000,000, gathered in Wall street gambling and railroad juggling: The bulk of that estate was in Western Union and Missouri Pacific stocks and bonds. His telegraph wires and railroad tracks grasped the West and Southwest like a mighty hand. Legacies and debts brought the for- tune down to about $75,000,000—$65,- 000,000 George Gould nas always said. George got $5,000,000 in cash —$5,000,000 of the curse—and the remainder was to be distributed Among the children, equally; that is, the estate was to be held intact in trust, the executors being the trustees, and each child was to recelve the income from his or her sixth. The executors were George, Edwin and Howard Gould and their tister Helen. Frank and Anna were minors and George and Helen were their guardians. The younger chil- dren made their home with Helen.

In the spring of 1894 there landed in America a dapper individual with pink cheeks and many suits of clothes. He was Count Boniface de Castellane, scion of a proud and ancient French family. His mission to America was to wed an heiress and recoup his fortunes, or, failing in that, to establish an American agency for a French cham- bpagne company. His friend, Raoul Duval, introduced him to Mrs. Paran Stevens of the Newport set and he spent a time at Newport, during which he was much licmized and during which he tried to pay court to several heiresses, among them Virginia Fair and Con- suelo Vanderbilt. He was turned down coldly. Then he tried selling champagne in the West, wearied of that, went back to New York, rent- ed a room on the third floor back in the house of a French dressmaker at 23 Bast Thirty-second street, and laid his situation before Mrs. Paran Stevens, frankly.

He induced a New York restaurant proprietor to serve a dinner for him on the chance of his marrying Anna Gould, and at the dinner Boni saw his future wife for the first time. That was Dec. 24, 1894. In Febru- ary the engagement was announced. lhoui’s credit was now good any place. The ‘wedding occurred in March and the couple went to Paris. They were ecldly received at first, but Boni scat- tered money—money from Missouri and the Southwest—like confetti. He built a red marble palace in the Rue Malakoff, which was a reproduction cf the Grande Trianon.

It was found that Boni had spent $3,000,000 of the Mis- souri revenue and owed nearly $4,- 500,000. Countess Anna’s income was - $600,000 a year from her $15,000,000 principal. All but $100,000 of the in- come was set aside to liquidate the debts, George, Edwin and Helen pay- ing the most insiseent creditors im- mediately to the amount of more than $1,000,000. After that, in the very fashionable drawing rooms of Paris where Boni and his Countess had had a fleeting recognition and surface position while the money lasted, they were icoked upon as a juke. It was a bit- ter reverse for poor Anna, who thirst- ei for more of the grandeur she had found so sweet. Then she had to drink the dregs. She learned that Beni had maintained any number of establishments in Paris. He paid court to women of his own rank as well, women who had been social friends of the Countess. Millions of her good Missouri money had been squandered, she ha been held up to ridicule, she had lost her precarious footing in the inner circles of French . and aa aS ~~ =--« EEO cide ce Sec ~ -Ga she had been scorned and flouted by the man for whom she had sacrificed so much. The bitter cup was full. She applied for a divorce and ob- teined it, together with the custody of her children. Then Prince Helle de Sagan began bis ludicrous courtehip. Boni want- ed to remarry Mmé. Gould—he need- ed the money. The revenue from Mis- souri looked good to him_ So it did to Helle. They spat at each other in the gutters of Paris and were arrest- ed.

It was reported that they were married. That report was denied and the date of the proposed wedding announced a« June or July next. Neither Mme. Anna nor Helie would deny or con- firm anything. Howard Gould's marriage followed Anna’s. His wife was Katherine Clemmons, an actress protege of Buf- falo Bill. They were married in 13898, without the consent of the executo's of the Gould estate. According to the codicil made after George's matriage, any child who did that was to for- feit helf of his or her inheritance.

SHEEP.

The same is true of the sheep-rais- ‘ng districts of England, Scotland and Wales. Indeed, so striking is this phase of life in the sheep countries that Alfred Ollivant made it the theme of a powerful and very fasci- nating novel, called “Bob, the Son of Pattle,” which was published first a decade or more ago and which is a great popular favorite to this day. In that story Red Wull and “Ow’d Bob,” a gray dog of Kenmuir, were great rivals for the Sylvester Shep- herd’s Trophy, a silver cup which

_ CC CE iN

was competed for by any and all snepherd dogs and their masters. The competition consisted of driving a small flock of sheep over a particu- larly difficult course. Red Wull won the cup once when “Ow'd Bob” did not compete. Then “Ow’'d Bob” won it three times and it became his master’s for good and ali. This engendered a bitter haie in the breast of ACam McAdam, owner of Red Wull, against James Moore. owner of Bob. All the men disliked McAdam and all the dogs hated Red

General suspicion rested on Red Wull. Mc- Adam, however, believed that Bob was the criminal and made every ef- fort to catch him. At last Red Wull was caught in the act and a few days later was set upon by a crowd of dogs and killed, in a mighty battle. The description of the first sheep murder is very thrilling. James Moore and Jim, the post- man, were on their way home one night. They found a flock of sheep in commotion and _ investigated, stumbling upon a dead sheep. Then, in the words of the book: “Jim’s hand traveled from the body to the dead creature’s throat. He screamed. “ ‘By Gob, Master! look ‘ee theer!”’ He held his hand up in the moonlight and it dripped red. ‘And warm yet, warm!’ ‘Tear some bracken, Jim!’ ordered the other, ‘and set a light. We mun see to this.’ | “The postman did as bid. For a moment the fern smoldered and smoked, then the flame ran crackling slong and shot up in the darkness, veirdly lighting the scene: to the rizht the low wood, a block of solid blackness against the sky; in front the wall of sheep, staring out of the sioom with bright eyes; and as a cen- ter piece that still, white body, with the kneeling men and lurcher snif- fing tentatively round.” Then follows a striking description of the sheepmen’s detective work which fastened the crime on a dog: “The victim was subjected to a clitical examination. The throat, and trat only, had been hideously mauled; from the raw wounds the flesh hung in horrid shreds; on the ground all about were little, pitiful cahs of wool, wrenched off, apparent- ly in a struggle; and, crawling among the fern roots, a snake-like track of red led down to the stream. ‘*& dog's doin’, and no mistakin’ thot,’ said Jim at length, after a min- ute inspection. “‘ay’ declared the master with slow emphasis, ‘and a sheep dog’s, too, and an old un’s, or I'm no shep- herd.’ “The postman looked up. “ ‘Why's thot?’ he asked, puzzled.

RE HE idea of “reading” the lines of the foot, just as palmists read the lines of the hand, seems likely to assume the dimen- sions of a fad. According to the palmistic theory, the lines that tell most about one’s character are those which are made tn the most active expression of the mind. Thus, ordinarily, the hand re- veals the man, because it is employed for the performance of every task, ¥reat or small, It therefcre becomes the greatest mind center and there- by reflects character, disposition and past events from which the future can be deduced. There are also many ful epecial lines, the meaning of which th } r attorneys during the crit- “a! moments of the cross-examina- boy the State’s witnesses.

Their eloquence has won fame and fortune, their con- sient use in a distinctly art form would, if the theory be true, made them an ideal index to the character of their possessor. An X-ray picture of Genee’s feet is also described by a physician, who calls attention to differences in feet, the dangers of bad shoes and bad foot habits in their relation to health. Here is John Fletcher's interpre- tion of the impression of Genee’s foot as submitted to him: “There are many indications that it belongs to a woman whose profes- rion is dancing. , it is an éJucated foot and it readily betrays ledge to those ‘d in foot ‘ e ) 8) SUNDAY MAGAZINE ST.

The in- step or high arch of the foot shows conclusively that its owner would never be contented with second place in whatever she undertook. The nar- ow, well-shaped heel shows great agility and dexterity, a love of physi- cal activity and a quite exceptional vorsatility. “In fact, I believe I have guessed who its owner is.” “In a sole-print,” says Prof. Wild- er of Smith College, “the characteris- 1ic features are mainly distributed slong the ball of the foot, anterior to the hollow of the arch, and while {a a general way they are similar to irose of the hand, there are also rumerous iniportant differences.” “You can generally tell from a per- son's boots whether he is rich or poor,” says Lieutenant-General, Bad- DUIS en-Powell of the British Army. ‘Tl was once able,” says the famous soldier, “to be of service to a lady who was in poor circumstances, as I had guessed from noticing, while walking behind her, that, though she was well dressed, the soles of her shoes were in the last stage of dis- repair. I don’t suppose she ever knew how I guessed that she was in a bad way. “But it is surprising how much of the sole of a boot you can see when behind a person walking—and it is equally surprising how much mean- ing you can read from that boot. It is said that towear out soles and heels equaily is to give evidence of business capacity and honesty; to wear your heels down on the outside m@ans that you are & man of imagination and ‘ove adventure; but heels worn down on the inside signify weakness and indecision of character, and this last sign is more infallible in the case of POST-DISPATCH: MAY 10, ae T FOR CHARACTER man than in that of woman. “Tt ig an amusing practice when on a railway with other veovle to look only at their feet and guess without looking any higher what sort of peo- pie they are, old or young, well-to-do or poor, fat or thin, and so on, and then look up and see how near you have been to the truth. “Mr. Nat Goodwin, the Amercan actor, once described to me how he went to see a balloon ascent at a time when he happened to be suf- fering from a stiff neck. He was only able to look down instead of up —and he could only see the people round him in the crowd so he chose among ihe feet those that he felt sure belonged to an affable, kind-hearted man who would de- scribe to him what the balloon was doing.” Charles Gates sold his seat on the New York Stock Exchange ,

One of those, according to a decision of the Michigen Supreme Court, in the case of Carrie G. Hub- hard vs. Ellery D. Presion, decided I'eb. 5, 1892, is howling at night. That decision was written by Justice Long, who said: “On Nov. 9, 1890, defendant shot aiid killed plaintiff's dog. An action was commenced in a justice court, | “ oe ', but they returned.

It was not larceny «co steal a dog, but it was to steal a dog collar or the hice of a dead dog. Blackstone says of dogs: totes —- “It is as much a felony by eommon, ~— law to steal such creatures ag, ar fl: for food as it is to steal tame ani- mais; but not so if they are kept | fur pleasure, curiosity or whim, as dogs, bears, cats, apes, parrots or singing birds; because their value is noi intrinsic, but depending only the caprice of the owner; it such an invasion of property as m amount to a civil injury and be dressed by a civil action.” Re In London a police | de- cided that a dog was not “goods” in the meaning of larceny statutes. in an Ohio case the common law was applied to the case of a man had broken into a house for the pose of stealing a dog and who charged with burglary. He was ac- quitted on the ground that, even had he succeeded, there could be no such thing as the theft of a dog. An En- glish judge, citing that case in. an eloquent decision in which he upheld the dog, said: p ERA ee “By the common law and the law of Ohio, as declared in the Lymus case, if some scoundrel had taken ‘the honest watch dog’ or the poet's ‘firmest friend,’ lucri causa and animo ™ furandi, breaking into the house in the night season for the pur: pose, no offense would have Dee committed.” The learned jurist also exp I pleasure that the kennels of the mous Hospice of St. Bernard in t Alps were not located in Ohio.

St. Louis by the metal tax receipt, which, according to law, must be suspended to each licensed dog's collar. : and tax tag he must not be molested by the dog catcher or anyone else, so long as he is not disorderly or ferocious. If the dog has no tag and collar, he still has certain rights rec- ognized by the law. He may be taken to the pound and held there the prescribed length of time, after which he may be killed unless his own- er redeems him. This requirement that he be held a certain time is made because a licensed dog might get out and roam about without his collar when his act was not the fault of his master. While an un- {| redeemed dog may be killed at the pound, he may be killed nowhere a else except he should be so dangerous that the dog catcher could not | handle him. Then, the law says, the City Marshal or his assistants A vicious dog has a right to bite anybody on his owner's prem- ises, but if he steps off those premises, his biting becomes a crime and his owner may be fined $50 by a police judge and the dog sentenced to death, the execution fee of the City Marshal being $5, to be paid These rights are evidenced in If he wears such a collar

where the defendant had judgment. On appeal to, the Circuit Court the case was tried before a jury. The cniy question submitted to the jury was the value of the dog, which was found to be $25. Verdict and judg- ment were entered for that amount. Defendant brings error.” The learned Justice then thus dis- cusses the law of the case: “On the trial the defendant intro- duced testimony to show justification for the killing. The Court permitted the testimony to be introduced, but held that it did not amount to a jus- tification. The only question raised in this Court is whether the Court should have submitted that branch of the case for the determination of the jury. We think the Court was in error in not so doing.” The author of the opinion then gives his reasons and a history of the events leading up to the litiga- tion: “It appeared that the defendant did not keep a dog.

Rell had offended that man by sing- Remi BELL was shot down and ing a song—a gay, rag-time song— und the man, in a fit of sudden pas- sion, killed him. There is a popular idiom in the En- glich language to express the extreme of cheapness. When one says a thing “sold for a song’ he means it sold for nothing, or almost nothing. Reese Bell’s life literally “went for a song”’ -—the very extreme of cheapness—and that tragedy illustrated a_ striking phase of human nature. Murder for a trivial cause is not uncommon. Hardly a day passes that there does not come from some local- ity an account of a homicide the cause of which was some insignificant, emall thing, hardly important enough even to vex a well-poised individual. But there rarely has transpired if ' St. Louis or this part of the West a homicide of that kind as dramatic as the killing of Reese Bell, who went to his death with a song on his lips and who was killed because of the song he sang. Dr. Engelbert Voerster Jr., who was identified by several persons as the stranger who shot Bell, is now under indictment for the crime. He is a prominent physician, formerly hold- ing a responsible position on the niedical staff of the City Dispensary. For several days the _ tragedy seemed insolvable. It was such a sud- den thing, apparently so lacking in sufficient motives, that the police were at their wits’ end. Finally a chance remark set a detective to thinking and led him, ultimately, to arrest Dr. Voerster. With that ar- rest the strange story told by the witnesses seemed verified. Bell was on his way home from a dance. He was escorting Mrs. Hat- tte Bafley of 1507 Chouteau avenue years. little party ed the corner of Chouteau ave- ing, ‘oudly—"No, emphatically .” It was a typical rag-time bal-

panion of the stranger) I’d quit. She has a voice like a mudlark.’”’ At that, say witnesses, the stranger, a tall, athletic, bearded man, larger and heavier than Bell, whipped out a revolver, struck Bell in the face with it and then shot him. The woman with the stranger fled. He bent down cver the wounded man and looked at the bullet hole, say witnesses, rising with the remark: “He isn’t much hurt.”” Then he walked away rapid- ly in the direction the woman had gone. | A policeman two blocks distant, who heard the shot, reached the scene in a moment. He summoned an am- bulance, but Bell was dead. The mys- terlous couple on the corner had dis- appeared. Mrs. Bailey, white, terror-stricken, wus dazed by the suddenness of the tragedy. Her daughters were scream- ing with fear. A little crowd of won- dering spectators gathered at the scene. “Who shot him?” they asked. Mrs. Bailey shook her head. She cidn’t know. “A tall man, fashionably dressed, with a beard,” she said. “I don't know who he was. He got mad be- cause Reese was singing.” The Sudden Transition It seemed as if the echo of the song sti’l pulsated in the air, so swift was the transition from melody to death, so sudden the change from warm lips vibrant with song to cold ashen lips on which song was hushed forever. The police were given a descrip- tion of the mysterious slayer. An in- quest was held. But nothing devel- oped that offered a clew. It was an- nounced publicly that the Police De- partment was nonplussed. It was be- lieved that the identity of the slayer would remain a permanent mystery. But a man who had been in the vi- cirity of Chouteau avenue and Dol- man street when the shooting oc- curred made a chance remark a de- tective. “Dr. Voerster 8 there,” said the man. “I wonder why he did not treat the fellow who had been shot ?’’ The detective remembered that Dr. Voerster answered the description of the mysterious slayer. He started a hunt for the doctor, but failed to find him either at his home or office. A few days later he captured him while he was talking to his father at Grand avenue and Olive street. The young doctor was asking his father to ob- tain a bondsman for him, if he should be caught. Later Mrs. Johanna Schrader of 2438 North Grand avenue, a hand- some widow, a cousin of Dr. Voer- ster’s, was arrested at her home. She war identified as the woman with Dr. Voerster when Bell was shot. She admitted that to the grand jury which indicted the physician. And thus was solved the perplexing, eerie mystery of “the song that cost % a life. But the tragedy of the song is not the only killing over a trivial mat- aad ee Be 5 oe aa Rae pe ee Oia wee eh cS tne . S Bee Reka Shige ke $6 Ue. Sa

ly. It was the most dramatic, the most startling and for a time the most mysterious, but gther lives had Leen taken, other blood spilled in death grapples, for causes just as in- significant as the swan song of Recse Bell. About the middle of February last William P. Stringer of 1113 South Tnird street was stabbed to death in the rear of his home following a quarrel which grew out of a jest about the receipt of a comic valen- tine. Stringer was married and the father of six young children. On the evening of Feb. 11 his wife heard groahs coming from the alley back of the house. Ske investigated and found her husband mortally wounded. “Billy Wuerz killed me,” he mut- tered brokenly as the frightened wife lifted his head and called for help. Stringer was taken to the City Hos- pital, where an operation was per- formed—the delicate operation of stitching the heart together where it had been cut. He lived only 4 little while. After he died the police, led by little James Str:nger, son” of the Gead man, went to the home of Wil- liam Wuerz, 1111 South Sixth street, and arrested that young man, charg- ing him with the murder of String- er.

Now and then they sat at the piano and played and sang. Now they gathered flowers in the garden. There was not a shadow to mar the perfect contentment and happiness of these beautiful young wives and raothers. Early in the night they were put- ting their children to bed. The neigh- bois heard a pistol shot. A few min- utes later Mrs. George Ewing, c cnly in her night clothes, staggered into the home of the Lusés, next door neighbors, crying that she had “shot Lizzie,” meaning Mrs. Frank Ewing. Mr: Luse and other neighbors found Mrs. Frank Ewing lying across a bed, dead. The Child’s Night Cry The story told by the hysterical sister-in-law, who had done the kill- ing, was that she had reproved one of Mrs. Frank Ewing's children. In an lnetant the two women were quarrel+ ing. Then, said Mrs. George Ewing, “Lizzie” pulled a pistol from under her pillow and she (the slayer) seized another pistol from a@ dresser drawer and fired. The whole suined only a minute.

Mrs. Watts Hughcs’ inven- tion consists of a tube, shaped like a megaphone, into) which she sings. The tones pass into a bow] or receiver, the open top of which is closed with a dise of fine silk. Over the surface of the disc a small quantity of lycopodium powder is placed, and as the voice of the singer makes the disc vibrate the dust assumes geometrical shapes. To sing a daisy Mrs. Watts Hughes places a Ne Ce THE (IOUTH "PIECES THAT TAY “fF” A ND*O* small heap of color paste, mixed to the proper consistency on the center of the disc and sets it in motion with a suitable note, continuing until the paste takes the form of a little flower with peta's.

Seon it becomes slightly agitated around the edge and suddenly, under a careful créscendo, beauti- ‘ully shaped petals dart out with perfect regularity and symmetry. - Some of the most perfect daisy forms are deli- cately marked on their petals with vein-like lines, both straight and curved. Others show around the base of the petals one or two rows of tiny dots, which Mrs. Watts Hughes believes are centers of new daisies, marvelous little buds which would develop into fresh flowers if one only knew how to develop them. Others have two and three rows of petals overlapping each other. Mrs. Watts Hughes also coated a small piece of glass -with color and placed it downward on the disc, singing a note into the. tube. At first there were no traces of the voice vibrations, but after continued practice one day when the plate was lifted from the disc the under lines showed - that the note had been sufficiently’ powerful to leave a distinct impression on the glass which could be retained and made permanent. Mrs. Watts Hughes has also succeeded in sing- ing a pansy. The primrose, buttercup, chrysan- themum, rose and geranium are said to be very easy to sing, compared with the pansy. It will be noticed from the tone formations pub- lished at the top of this page, with their corre- sponding musical notes, that the dust on the disc assumed exactly the same shape every time Mrs. Watts Hughes sang E flat. The same rule held good. with every other musical tone. By scatter- ing the dust over the disc or membrane of the tube aud singing a certain note the singer is al- ways sure to get a certain figure. By singing certain notes in regular order Mrs. Watts Hughes gradually discovered how to make the dust as- sume any desired form. In this way she gradually learned how to sing daisies and other flowers. The singing of the daisy Mrs. Watts Hughes regards as an invaluable music lesson, giving scope for the practice of crescendo and diminuen- do in almost every degree of intensity and offer- ing rare opportunity for novel. sensations. Dr. Marz ge, the French scientist who succeed- ed two yeais ago in producing an apparatus which imitated the human voice, has just perfected an instrument for photographing the voice. The apparatus is very simple. It consists of a deli- cate membrane of rubber which receives the vi- brations of the voice and transmits them to a tiny mirror. The movements thus reflected in the mirror are photographically recarded on sensi- tive paper, which as it unrolls, is etomate developed and fixed. The process is akin.to the systems of graphic transmissions of writing. Dr. apparatus enables teachers of singing, of elocu- tion and of voice production to “show”’—in the exact sense of the word—their pupils the and bad qualities of the voice; moreover, Lng ians can compare the spoken languages of differ- ent races, and foreigners and deaf mutes can be readily taught the proper pronunciation of language. Photographs of the voices of the famous sing. ers of the Paris opera are being made. The most curious consequences of this inven- tion, however, is yet to be mentioned. M. D”’ roval, who presented the new Academy at Paris, stating that he to have many photographic records of animals—the barking of dogs, the yo cats, the chatter of monkeys. Patient at these he believes will lead to sought discovery of animal language. In constructing his talking siren Dr. tended primarily to design an apparatus ing the sharpness of the sense of ferent individuals. In order to vowels the air current is made to pass special molds, which accurately imitate of the human mouth in pronouncing a el. The graphic record of these soun ral spoken vowels.

When a note is sung into the tube a notched band of light appears across the mirror’s face. lower the pitch the coarser the notch will be, ona the reverse. If two tones are sung simultaneously they will be represented in the mirror. ae React il Bas z ile i i ; ik ta tus to the ; ‘i ee fM. Depew.

During the week its ama- Each fair one has her especial favor- ite, and more than one amateur bout, witnessed only by a few friends, has been for some lady's favor—quite Parisian, is it not? Stair L’Illustration of Paris frankly said after “It was not brutal enough; blood did not flow. One would imagine they were giving a boxing exhibition.” This was just the criticism made by the women present. But they got more than their money's worth—those who saw the negro McVea knock out the white man Shearing. All Paris interested in the manly art was there. As the French chronicler naively remarks: “Three thousand persons, them 200 ele- gant young women, pressed around the platform.” -“To general satisfaction,” he runs on, “‘ere was blood in the second round. In the fourth Harry Shearing rolled on the groun® and could not. get up. The referee, Frantz Reichel, gave the victory to the negro, who stood over his vic tim in the pose of a victorious gladiator before the delighted eyes of the sweet companions of our Parisian clubmen.” And then, even, when the referee had counted his “eight, nine, ten!” and Shearing was down and out, he allowed himself to be lifted to his feet to be photographed with his negro conqueror. How the audience—the women—cheered! “tin berveilleux knockout!” they cried. “But,” they complained, “the whole thing last- ed only an hour!” They had already seen a “go” between Bill Chester and Peter Brown. Kid Davies and Char- ley Williams had fought “le knockout.” Still they weren't satisfied. And here is the sad plaint of Jacques Montane, a French journalist. “The fair sex dominated the front rows.

k. AND MRS, NEWLYWED, who occupy extensive apart- ments in the comic must look to their laurels, for Baby Newlywed has a rival for distinc- tion in Leland Henry Anderson, 8 months old and champion baby Her- cules, long-distance swimmer, weight lifter and “skin-the-catter” of the untverse. He is the son and pride of Lewis H. Anderson and his wife, who live at 5846 Jackson avenue, Chicago. Leland has been the envy of the section, Mothers’ Club and the wonder of phy- sicians. For his chest expansion is half that of the average man. At the age of 7 weeks he was able to suspend him- relf by his own weight. He could ull himself to the level of daddy’s cane’ and actually chin himself at the age of four months. He could chin himself with one hand 30 days later. He never cries. He now possesses such knotty mus- cles, such magnificent biceps and tri- cevs, such a broad and deep torso, and weh an all-around mighty physique an to give Sampson cause for turning in his tomb. He is able to speak one sentence. It is “uppy, uppy,” and when Le- land speaks every morning at 10 o'clock it behooves the members of the Anderson household to hustle. Kor the young Hercules wants to go through with his daily training; and “e won’t be happy till he gets it.

Leland’s training quarters is his own nursery. His gymnastic appa- ratus is daddy’s cane. His swinming tank is the six-foot porcelain tub that leads off the nursery and his sleeping room is the outdoors. When Leland was 7 weeks old he first manifested his athletic tenden- cles. He seized things with his hands. When hevonce got hold it was no joke about taking candy from the baby. Leland was a contortionist at four weeks. His principal feat con- sisted of trying to jam all 10 toes into one toothless little mouth, which was quite a swallowing trick as well. But later he showed a remarkable avidity for clinging to mother’s thumbs. One day she tried to break away from the clinch and was surprised to see Leland come right along up in the air with her. She pulled and Le- land hung—hung suspended in the air. Then he smiled and said “glug- gle blub blub bugga,” which, when translated into English means: “Huh, that’s nothing. I can do lots better than that.” : Pre-Natal Influence, “I had suspected him of strength almost from the beginning,” says Mrs. Anderson, “for my husband and I are believers in physical culture, deop breathing and simple eating, and I have great faith in pre-natal nfluence, but his real strength al- most took my breath away.” After that Mrs. Anderson took dad- ‘v’s cane from the umbrella rack in ‘he hall and from it improvised a horizontal bar, chest weight, swing- ing trapeze and dumb bell. She alded and abetted all of the young man’s efforts by manipulating the cane at different elevations and angles so that the hairless champion could per- form without interference from bed- clothes and pillows. “Uppy-uppy,” says Leland, every morning at 10 o’clock, and Mrs. An- derson gets out daddy’s cane. Then the young man grasps it in the cen- ter, flexes his knotty little muscles, and soars aloft to about the level of mother’s chin. His athletic costume is the climax of simplicity when he is doing his Cally stunts before the bath. Of course, sometimes when there is com- pany there is what might be termed a breech-cloth—but this is always fastened loosely and without pina, and it is likely to slip. However, Leland doesn’t mind a little thing like that. The tiret thing Mrs. Anderson doe when anyone calls is to formally im-_ troduce the young champion. stranger is inclined to smile, baby Leland is serious and

* His Mother Writes on How to Make Babies Healthy his hand wih all possible deference. “I suppose you want to see the young man perform,” says Mrs. An- cerson, with a quaint, proud smile. “You are just in time. We were about to have our little drill, Weren't we, Precious?” It takes but a second for Baby Le- land to strip for action. Flat on his tack, with legs screwing into curly- cues, Leland begins without cere- mcny. The stranger concludes this is a boneless wonder. But ho! Moth- e: lifts the baby with one hand, sets his tiny feet in the other, and up, up he goes, straight and stiff as a West Point cadet. Then she sets his little feet against her .neck and from the extremity of one little hand, stretches him out at an angle of 45 degrees—then slowly lewers him to the horizontal. The little body holds rigid and sturdy as a small statue. Leland can stand straight enough to stand on the floor without the aid of mother’s hands. Iiut the bottoms of his small feet are 50 plump-and round that Leland can- not balance himself. And mother is too wise to permit him to try to walk—for that oftentimes makes bowed the poor little legs of babies. After Leland has passed through an arm drill the mother shocks the visitor by taking baby by his left foot and swinging him out, upside down, at arm’s length. It is an ex- ercise for blood circulation and a prescribed one. What is more, Le- land likes it, for he laughs right out loud. Then comes the sitting up ex- ercise. Baby Leland lies prone on his back and, at the word from moth- er, lifts his body to a sitting position without moving his feet. This is difficult for a grown person, not to epeak of a baby. After a few of these evolutions the real work is laid out for the small performer. Mother brings out daddy's cane—the horizontal bar, trapeze and chest weight. There are so many things that Leland can do with the cane in mother’s hande that it is al- most impossible to enumerate them. Perhaps, to start with, he takes the cane by himself, in his own fists, and puts it, fashion, into his inouth, as ore ip gly was some- thing good inside t. Then er lifts him. Of course, by -his jaws alone. tightly weight with his. | the toofens come he will to let go with his fisties.

What if Leland should fall? Don’t worry. Like all performers, the baby Fercules has a pillow under him. Then he chins himself. Sometimes he will only do it once or twice. At other times the little arms will lump themselves with muscle, the little cheeks will become tense and the in! fant will pull himself up, once, twice, seven times. The muscles on his bick stand out like knots. They play back and forth, here and there, _be- neath the soft, pink, satiny skin. If the baby is particularly lively Mrs. Anderson will detach one chubby hand and permit Leland to hang beneath the cane by one arm only. This is Leland’s greatest feat.. Slowly, surely the little arm doubles until the 17 pounds of dead weight is lifted up and baby Anderson's eyes peep over the bar. Only trained athletes can duplicate this feat. He hangs by his knees. That is what Mrs. Anderson calls it. But it really isn’t the orthodox way, because to do it right you have to let go with your hands. Leland hasn't yet dared to loosen his dimpled fingers, but he ie not afraid to keep his grip on the bar and hang head downwards—and he but a babe. ‘Skinning the Cat.’’ He “skins the cat.’ This is some- times considered ‘the greatest feat cf the attic athletes. Remember “skinning the cat” on the old apple tree bough or from the broomstick trapeze in the attic? You were 6 years old when you first essayed to try it, and how you felt like a circus performer, Yet baby Leland is but § months old and it’s the easiest cinch of all for him. Forward or backward, either way—no matter. And now the gym work is over. Ho for the bath.’ At the sound of the wuter rushing from the faucet into the roomy tub Leland begins to crow. “Bliggle goo,’ says the baby to the bathtub, and hig little legs begin to kick out and his arms to work fn an cestasy of excitement. Down the incline at the head of the tub Leland slides like a baby seal. Into the water he splashes with a squeal of glee. He is sponged and washed in water at a temperature of 80 degrees. Then the tub is emptied, fregh, cold water drawn, and the swimming lesson be- gins—the swimming lesson and the plunge. Perhaps the word “plunge” is a little premature. Of course, Mrs. Andersop never lets the youngster’s head get beneath the water. He has ret yet learned to hold his breath ard might drown. But it is a fact that Leland knows how to swim. Starting him out at one end of the tub, Mrs. Anderson holds a finger under Leland’s chin so that his mouth and nostrils will not be en- guifed. For a second she may let go altogether. Then the youngster strikes out, follows his natural in- stincts and paddies from two to three times his own length. Early he adopted a preference for the crawl stroke. Making the

.F Before he is tired Mrs. Anderson lakes him out and rubs his body with sweet oil. Then, with just the clothes he has worn in the house, she puts him out on the veranda to sleep. A steamer blanket is all that covers him and he sleeps nearly all the after- noon. This is to cultivate “deep breathing.” Mrs. Anderson says that aeep breathing is one of the first secrets of health. gis Extreme measures are being taken to have this wonderful baby develop phygically and mentally with perfect symmetry. Mrs. Anderson in her own words tells how it is dome: ~ Baby Strong By MRS. LELAND s (Mother of the Baby Hercules.)
