The truth is that our present rate schedule, dated Nov. 1, 1907, is the lowest and most equitable one we ever issued, and is a sub- stantial.reduction below our pre- . vious rate schedule—not an in- crease over it—and the small user is the greatest beneficiary.

LONDON, May 16.—Winston Church- ill, President of the Board of Trade, narrowly escaped serious injury in an accident while riding in Hyde Park to- day. A new and sensational directorie cos- tume, worn by a French actress, one of tne riders in the park, caused the mis- har. A man, riding a galloping horse, was so much attracted by the gown that he turned ta look at it, and rode down Churchill, who was just passing.

Seemingly having gone to the park with the intention of giving what they could on one day of the year to thé great cause, persons in the crowd read- ily halted at the command of the young women, and bouguat everything offered for sale. One man alone bought three gross boxes of snoe polish from nearly as many young women, and paid for it at retail prices.

‘Monkeys Distinguish Colors. From the Philadelphia Record. Dr. Dahl, the celebrated German nat- uralist, relates some interesting experi- a monkey. ‘He colored some sweets with a certain colored dye and some bitter substances with that of another color. After a few attempts the monkey learned to leave, without even tasting, those articles of food which were colored with the dye, and which indicated bitter-tasting sub- tances, and seized at once upon those which indicated sweets. Varying the ex- fPerinients sufficiently, says the London Times, Nie found that the monkey dis- tinguished all the different colors readi- ly, save dark blue. Dr. Dah! calls atten- tion to the fact that Mayer has stated that many savage tribes cannot distin- guish dark*biue from black, and that even children distinguish this color later than. all others.

WILL TRY PLANT = CULTURE METH ON CHILD L Pupil of Herbert Spencer Hopes to Parallel Bur- bank’s Achievements.

LOS ANGELES, May 16.—Dr. -Leon Elbert Landone, former pupt!? of Herbert Spencer, has purchased a $100,000 resi- dence property in Hollywood, where he complish in child culture what Luther Burbank has done in horticulture. He is meeting with the difficulties that in- variably beset. reformers, but ignore them. He is about to work out theories re- garding child culture which he hopes will result in the material benefit of the human race. To a Post-Dispatch cor- respondent he said: “There are four steps in evolution- ary development which are true in both the human and plant life. Burbafik rec- ognizes the gradations in his plant Even so, they figure in the development fine horse stock. in the human race, of children. ‘“‘These four steps are: First, variation; second, sex crossing, to carry on the qualities by heredity; third, selection, and, fourth, cultivation and develop- ment. No Artificial Marriage. “As far as concerns the first steps in evolutionary development, those called variation and crossing, they have been attended to already. “This country of ours is the nfost crossed, so far as races go, of any on the face of the globe. We simply take the best representatives of child life in the land and work with them, “Any effort along the line of artifi- cial marriage is a failure, since true marriage is where each party to the contact is honestly in love with the other, freely and of his or her own ac- cord. The offspring of an artificial marriage would be a failure. “IT will select ten to twelve children from various parts of the United States for eaeh of the first two or three years, and I will seek to develop the best there is in them. To Rebuild Child. “The basis of my system of educa- tion for these children will be in the reconstruc@on of structure. The com- mon way of changing a child who has developed some harmful habit or ten- dency is to quiet that particular region of nervous activity. Then it is easy enough for the child to pick up its old habits, although it may have reformed temporarily. “With my system the entire struc- ture is changed. It is a different struc- ture entirely, and the child, in order to get back into its old habits, must’ not merely ‘backslide,’ but must build back. Do you catch the essential difference between the two? : “My methods of work with these chil- dren will differ radically from the ordl- nary methods of teaching. For in- stance, you have observed, doubtless, many Americans in the business world whose school training did not. extend beyond the seventh or eight grade perhaps, but whose mental processes, and accordingly their business methods, were on a better plan and were better systematized than those of the man who had had more years of school and col- lege training. “Now, when he was a child, that man of little training but of excellent ability would have been the child we would choose for our school.”

HORSE AND

ENGINE MEET UN WH BRIDE . wr Driver Thought He Was on Highway Until Steed Fell Through.

Mentally befogged by drink, a man who had been attending a celebration in French Village near Belleville shortly after midnight Saturday started for home in his buggy. Some two hundred yards out of French Village the horse, left tle road and struck into the tracks of the L. & N. Railroad. A few yards further on the driver noticed that he was crossing a bridge. He also noticed that there seemed to be holes in the bridge at regular inter- Vals. “Rather funny,’ he muttered to him- self. Just then the horse stumbled and fell and to the driver seemed to go through one of the holes in the. bridge. The driver got out with some difficulty and looked at the floor of the bridge.” “Why, I'll be blasted,’ he said, “but we're on a trestle.” It was such a’ good joke that he laughed heartily for some minutes. Then he climbed into the buggy again, and as the horse wouldn’t or couldn't get up, he sat there awaiting devel- opments. Presently a west-bound train proached the trestle. Fortunately headlight revealed the buggy to engineer in time to stop. It took the entire engine and train crew to lift the horse, and then planks had to be placed to enable the horse to make its Way safely to ground on the other side. There the driver departed without giving hig name. INDIAN SON-IN-LAW IS CAUSE OF DIVORCE SUIT Trouble Began | With Daughter’s Midnight Marriage to Ball Player at Clayton.

Washington Paper - Declarés Him. Leader of Assemblage Just Ended, > — ON TRAIN: WITH’ BRYAN / Speaks Against Bill Allowing Federal Judges to Stop State Laws. — one,

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reru of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 1°.-After a morning of congratulations as the lead- er of the successful opposition of the governors to Federal domination, sought by President Roosevelt, and as the foundér of a permanent Fiouse of Gov- ernors, Gov. Folk left for home at noon today. Willam J. Bryan left on the same train, anil he and Gév. Folk will travel so that they wil! have plenty of time to talk over the political situation in Missouri and throughout the country. Among those who congratulated Gov. Folk was Justice Harlan of the 8u- preme Court, who complimented his stand against interference by minor Federal courts with, the execution of: Siate laws. Justice Harlan ‘wrote the dissenting opinion in the Minnesota rate case, Master Mind of House. The Washington Herald this morning culls Gov. Folk “the master mind of the House of Governors,’’ and says to him is due the credit of forming the or- ganization, which wiu be independent of White House control. At a meeting of the Executive Com- mittee in Gov. Folk’s rooms last night, it was decided that future meetings should not be held in Washington and that its scope should include questions of uniform legislation among the states, as well as merely the conservation of resources. “The organization of the House of Governors marks a new epoch jn politi- cal life for the nation,"’ said Gov. Folk this morning. “It will cement the States closer than ever, and at the same time preserve their independence. While it will have no law-making power, mea- sures approved by it will undoubtedly be adopted in many and eventually in all the States. Will Give Uniform Laws, ‘It will give to state governments that virility which they have needed, and to state laws uniformity. “By making the state governments more effective it will check encroach- ments of the national government upon them. It will preserve the ideas of gov- ernment crystallized in the formation of the republic.” Regarding the encrcachments by Fed- eral courts upon the states, Gov. Folk said: ‘“‘The bill which has passed the Senate authorizing three inferior Fed- eral judges, instead of one, to enjoin State laws, specifically confers upon the inferior Federal judges the very powers to which the states object. Agzinst Such a Law. “T do not favor such a law at all. While it is safer to trust to three judges than to one, the law would recognize the right of the Federal Courts arbi- trarily to suspend State laws. This will rescult in making inferior Federal judges dictators over State govern- ments. “The law that should be passed should take away’ from the lower Federal courts the right to suspend State laws, pending their adjudication in the courts. Corporations, as well as individuals, can have the right of appeal from the State to the Federal courts, and thus get ev- ery constitutional right.” Against One-Man Power. When asked for his views on “one- man power” in government, he said: ‘There are many men in America today who advocate centralizing all power at Washington in the hands of the President. I am emphatically op- pesed to this program. Destroy the dig- nity of the State and place in the hands of a president control over all the cor- porations of the land, for instance, and there is given a power that sooner or later will endanger the republic. State Must Be Independent. ‘This republic of states is secure #0 long as the states are independent. If something goes wrong with one the others to keep the ship of state afloat. “The first step with us will be to take away the independence of the states, te convey authority to a pres- ident to call them together at will. In itself it would not be of consequénce. “But it makes a precedent for an- other move in the direction of centrali- zation, and so gradually our form of government could be entirely changed."

' Campbell Allgaier is missing from his home at 5966 Kennerly avenue, and his 20-year-old wife has appealed to the po- lice to help her find him. He seemed deeply distressed recently over the death of 18-year-old Frank Petty, his nephew and favorite, and Mrs. Allgaier thinks this may have something to do with his prolonged absence, althougn she does not believe he has ended his life, Allgaier is a plumber, 34 years old. He ig 56 feet 7 inches tall, and wore, when last seen, a blue-grav coat and vest, blue broadcloth trousers and purple tie. His hair is iron-gray, his eyes black. Mrs. Emma Aligaier, his mother, was moving from 4536 McMillan avenue Mon- day, and her daughter-in-law was help- ing her, when Alligaier disappeared. When he left he kissed his wife and 2-year-old boy, Lorain, affectionately. They have not seen him since. Aligaier is the slayer of James A. Baker, who was a foreman for a range company, and lived near the Alligaier home on Ridge avenue, in August, 1893. Allgaier’s defense for the shooting was that Baker, a married man, had spoken flippantly of Miss Betty Aligaier, his sister. The first trial of the case re- sulted in a hung jury. Before the sec- ond, Allgaier pleaded guilty, in order, he said, to save his mother the strain of suspense. He was sentenced to seven years in the Penitentiary.

Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1090S, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, May 16.—Mme. Anna Gould is expected in Paris soon, with Prince Helie de Sagan. The couple are in a serious dilemma, because civil marriages are under the ban in aristocratic circles in France. They would find every door closed, if they were married by a civil cere- mony. On the other hand, the Prince's con- version to Protestantism would have the same effect, unless he should go to Germany and become naturalized. His rank in Germany would be higher than in France, but he might not be re- ceived there. WILL COPIED FROM BROWN PAPER UPHELD BY COURT Daughter Who Nursed E. F. W. Beyer Inherits Property.

‘Whole Business Is a Bunco,” Arrested Man Is Quoted as Saying. —

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 16.—William Claus- en, art dealer at 7 East Thirty-fifth street, was locked up in Ludlow Street Jail last night, charged with having de- ceived William T. Evans, wealthy art patron and chairman of the Art Com- mittee of the Lotus Club, in the sale of paintings. Affidavits by an artist and by former employes of Clausen allege a swindling process by which clever imitations of works of noted artists were sold as orig- inals. These pictures, it is charged, were freshly painted, treated to give the ap- pearance of age and signed with the names of artists now dead. The so-called impostures were such brilliant imitations of the style of the noted artists that they were praised by critics and connoisseurs as among their best works, and as showing their skill at its highest artistic effectiveness. Part of Gallery Collection. The paintings which led to Clausen's arrest were part of the collection pre- sented by Evans to the National Gallery of Art, and held in custody by the Cor- coran gallery until such time as the Government might have a suitable re- pository. Two of them were supposed by Evans to have been painted by the late Homer D. Martin. One, a view called ‘Old Mill Near St. Cloud,” cost $2850; the other, “Near Newport,” cost $2500. A_ third picture was ‘“‘Late Afternoon at Med- field,’’ supposed by Evans to have been by the late George Inness; it cost $4000. Since their authenticity was disputed Evans has withdrawn them from the collection, and has made a demand on Clausen. for the return of the money paid for them. Artist Kost made affidavit that he had been called upon to pass judgment on a Martin picture, sold by Clausen, and he advised that it be returned. One day he was in Clausen’s place and asked him what had become of this picture. Clausen replied that it was upstairs. “Tell me, Clausen, who painted that picture? Dawson?’ asked Kost. Clausen is said to have answered: ‘‘No, Dawson don’t paint any more Homer Martins for me.”’ Business a Bunco, The artist says he asked Clausen why he had tried to sell that picture and added: ‘‘It seems like a bunco game.”’ To this Clausen is said to have made answer: ‘‘Fred, don’t you know that the whole picture business is a bunco?’’ Arthur Dawson, an artist in the Knox Building, said today that he retouched the three pictures whose authenticity is in dispute. He said that he did consid- erable work retouching paintings by noted artists, a process perfectly legiti- mate and recognized in art. Clausen, before his arrest, said he had sold the three pictures to Evans in good faith, and in a belief in their genuineness. He said spite and jealousy had set afloat the rumors that had led Evans to think he had been deceived. WEATHER INDICATIONS.

al BELLE tER RICHES Miss Jane Bigheart, With 101 Ranch Show, Scorris Hand of Carlisle Man.

“The prettiest Indlan girl in the South- west” is with the 101 Ranch Wild West Show, which will be at Handlan’s Park next week. The young woman, who has so impressed the press agent, is Miss Jane Bigheart, in whose veins flows the pure blood of the Osages, the wealthiest Indian nation of thg country. Her par- ents receive more than $10,000 in Govern- ment annuities, and mineral, oi] and pasture leases. Miss Bigheart’s home is a cabin on a wooded hillside near Gray Horse, OK., which her father or mother will not abandon for the modern comforts their income warrants. Miss Bigheart’s purents arranged a wedding for her by gift last year, and the would-be bridegroom, a Carlisle graduate, tied his pouies in her yard. Next day he found them loose, signify- ing his rejection and her defiance of a long-accepted Osage custom of. mar riage. Miss Bigheart announced she would select her own husband. When it became known through the Osage country that the famous 101 Ranch would send out a wild west show, Miss Bigheart enlisted. She says she is having the best time of her life. So are the cowboys, when in her com- pany. FARMER, WIFE AND SERVANT MURDERED AND BABY SHOT Posse of New Jersey. Citizens Searching for Hired Man, Who Disappeared. WIKATUNK, N.

Sixty-two questions, designed to bring an answer to the historic query, “What's delaying the bridge?’’ were di- rected at President O'Reilly of the Board of Public Improvements as he faced a joint committee of the Municipal Assembly Friday afternoon. The queries were presented to the committee by Harry D. Hill, secretary of the Mill Creek Valley Improvement Association. He says they were pre- pared by two leading engineers of St. | Louis. ‘The replies which President O'Reilly returned left the whole mystery of the bridge as profound as it was before Councilman Fitzsimmons, secretary of the committee, began hurling the ques- tions at their target.” President O’Reilly declared preliminary surveys and details had been completed, and that only lack of money, until three days ago, prevent- ed his beginning the real work of de- signing and constructing a bridge. Little Progress Is Seen. ° Mr. Hill and several councilmen con- tended that the investigation showed little progress and that President O’Reilly will be subjected to a further examination. In the course of the inquisition there Was a sharp exchange of words between Councilman Crunden and (President O'Reilly. However, persons who. ex- pecied that these gentlemen would col- lide agair and strike sparks were disap- pointed. The incident followed President O’Reil- ly’s answer to question No. 33, which sought the information whether the plan to pul the.gastern approach of the bricge below the Pittsburg dyke in East St. Louis had been altered in favor of a point farther north. Pitsamann’s Name Enters. “Julius Pitzmann: wanted me to land the biidge dinectly on the dyke,” said Mr. O'Veilly. “Why did he urge that?” demanded Crunden, / “I don’t know; he didn’t give any rea- Bon.”” (Fanuse), “He owns property there, .I betieve."’ “Your iusinuation is that he wanted the apprceach to cross his property,” said Mr. Crunden, hotly. ‘“Den’t you know that he owns ground on both sides of the dyke?” “I couldn’t say without looking on the -plais, but I think he doés,” replied 0’ Reilly. “Then he would be benefited whether the approach was located worth or seuth of the cyke, wouldn't he?” : Says He Is Engineer. President O'Reilly's qualifications as a supervisor of the bridge were the bur- _ @en of half a Gozen questiocs. He de- scribed himself as a civil and mechan- _. feal engineer. lie was not a bridge en- _ gineer, he said. His official position as President of the Board of Public Improvenients, Mr. O'Reilly declared, was his qualification for approving or rejecting pians. | What Mr. Hill regarded as the most |. embarrassing interrogation leveled at “Mr. .O’Rellly was that inquiring his . Feasons ar geo to various rail- earn whether they were to use the bridge and to what extent. _+ “Simply to determine the capacity of _. the structure,” President O'Reilly re- ed. “The cost of the bridge will ate to its strength. I want to how many trains the railroads the center of musical life in St. Louis. The plans for the coming season, 1908-09 are now complete and it is the intention of the society to make this the most important and brilliant ever given by this organization. There will be eight concerts, four symphony and Your miscellaneous. The best artists will be” éngaged as soloists and will be selected with the greatest care. The dates of the regular subscription concerts are as follows: Nov. 5 or 12, Dec. 8, Jan. 7, Jan. 24, Feb, 4, Feb. 18, March 4, March 2. . Prices for the season are: Boxes, $200; parquet seats, $15; balcony seats, first and second row, $10, remainder $65. The popular concerts were such a de- cided success during the past season that they will be continued, and in in- creased number. They will commence Nov. 15, and will be given each Sunday afternoon until the first of April follow- ing. Both the subscription and popular concerts will be held at the Odeon, as heretofore. Plans are now being madeyin answer to an almost universal call from the Southwest, for the orchestra to go on concert tours, thus enlarging its scope, spreading the idea of St. Louis as a civic and municipal center to all that territory which is naturally tributary to this great metropolis of the South- west. Mr. Max Zach has been re-engaged as conductor for the coming season, as he has made a great success and placed the orchestra on its present artistic high plane. This insures to St. Louis the re- tention of one of the strongest forces towards its musical development. Mr. Zach’s knowledge, enthusiasm and painstaking care at all times called forth the best there was in the play- ers, and under his guidance and advice the personnel of the orchestra will be improved over the past season.

“THE BOARD OF PERNICIOUS INACTIVITY.” ' Tt was the Hon. Jim Cronin who immortalized himself by inventing the phrase ‘‘Nothin’ Doin’.” Now comes the West End Business Men's Asso- clation with a bid for fame in the shape of a similar invention. “Pernicious Inactivity’ goes Jim Cronin one better. It is a truly great phrase in itself, and its keen application to the course of the Board _ @f Public Improvements with respect to grade : © grossings renders it doubly noteworthy. Indeed, it might gain in force if its application : we ‘Were extended to cover generally the conduct of : ‘the Board. The latter could fairly be dubbed the Board of Pernicious Inactivity. The public would easily recognise it by that name. 5 ae ae — a THE SHANGHAIED LOVER. Most kidnaped youths are never heard from, To be

And the case is about the same, whether the of captor is played by Cupid or by Cupidity, ii i, — a a BILLBOARD ATROCITIES. Billboard art has never been on speaking terme ‘with morals, and the Show Printers’ Association

| of Chicago is laudably going to try to patch up _ tome sort of a relation between the two, to the end that posters of an offensive nature, including of the familiar female monstrosity in tights, “will cease to assail the eye. ; Nature faking and a diseased color sense op- on the fence have long made a night- of the city beautiful, and the ethical and esthetical Show Printers of Chictgo are eagerly Soa oe confidentiy hailed as rescuers of civilization. a

BUSINESS ADMONISHES POLITICS. Properly enough disclaiming the “let us alone” spirit manifested by some business interests which probably should not be let alene, the St. Louis Prosperity Association nevertheless adheres to its original purpose to discourage agitation, dem- agogy and experimentation at the expense of legitimate trade and industry. ‘ The Post-Dispatch said in the first place that unless this movement took hold upon politics it could not be effeciive, and the association in its address to the President showed how the pres- sure is to be applied: A national political campaign is opening Plat- forms are to be adopted. The National Prosperity Association will ask for fair-minded considera- tion of business issues by both parties. But the association does not believe that prosperity de- pends upon politics; it is convinced that business may revive; that the unemployed may find work: that the normal volume of trade may be reached without waiting for the November elections. To that end the, association will address itself. This paragraph reveals the political intention of the association and contains a prophecy as to the result of its action. If men unquestionably representing the business interests of this country go before the platform committees at Chicago and Denver insisting that radical measures be avoid- ed in the interest of commercial and industrial peace, prosperity will not be dependent upon poli- tics, for neither convention will be likely to ig- nore such an admonition. The times seem to favor fantastic agitation, and because there is a lack of issues based upon principle, men of few ideas find profit in arraying class against class and in exploiting schemes of socialism and centralization which menace busi- ness and our political institutions at once. Ordinarily the substantial men of the United States have held ‘aloof from political action until the great parties were committed. they intend to act in advance. If they succeed at Denver and Chicago in checking the prevalent disposition to raid business and industry there will be no need of further political activity on their part. Prosperity need not await the elec- tion in November. This St. Louis idea comprehends a rational purpose, embracing information as well as admo- nition. It has nothing to do with reaction or with the motives of past offenders. It commends the good that has been done and it deplores the injury that has been wrought. It simply presents the proposition that for the time being agitation and detraction have gone far enough. ‘In behalf | of business and industry it asks for a rest. Unless all signs fail this new factor in national] political conventions will exert an influence that will have a sobering effect upon many wrong- headed or heedless persons. |

AN AFFINITY ROMANCE EXPLODED. Affinities, setting themselves above the com- mon run of mortals, forsake conventional moral- ity avowedly in the pursuit of a higher happiness, but the role of affinity does not appear to be all beer and skittles, for all that. The Brooklyn case of the strong-minded wom- an reformer, who stands for the abolishment of marriage and was about to appropriate another woman’s husband, is at oncc instructive and, if we may be pardoned, diverting. Even as the course of true love on the lower plane of ordi- nary decency does not always run smooth, so we perceive bumps in the lofty and ethereal paths of soul mates. Evidently, also, the frailty of the affinity romance will not withstand the slightest jar. In any event it is scarcely as durable as mat- rimony. Being about to take the other woman’s hus- band to herself if he made satisfactory progress in the spiritual world under her tuition, the strong-minded woman received a rude jolt that nearly shattered her cosmos, through the dis- covery that his soul was untrue to her—-in spite of him his thought persistently wandered in the direction of his wife. He presently followed. We perceive the affinity deserted, and the sad part of it is she gets nobody’s sympathy. The affinity business is a perilous business that must be carried with a high hand if the guilty are to “set away with it” at all. a 4 -& rrr MR. COWHERD’S ST. LOUIS SPEECH. There was a reactionary tone to Mr. Cowherd’s first formal speech in St. Louis which does not leave an agreeable impression. He had words of encouragement and praise for the members of the old gang whom he associated with the honorable history of the Democratic party. He held out hope to the spoilsmen by promises of recognition and place. He echoed the ery of a Kansas City newspaper supporter of Senator Stone in favor of the disfranchisement of colored men. , Taking account of the fact that the campaign is yet young, it will have to bé admitted that Mr. Cowhberd is making progress backward with con- siderable rapidity. At this rate it may not be long before he will be advocating a wide-open city and State.

sa. A. a a a Provisional Governor Magoon of Cuba seems to be the handy, all-around man who will succeed Mr. Taft in the event of the latter’s election to the presidency. Mr. Magoon is so much of a favorite in Cuba that nobody there wants home rule and the State of Panama esteems him so highly that he has been asked to go there to set- tle some domestic troubles. The world power business calls for such men as Taft and Magoon and they have not been wanting thus far.

The Toll of Fashion. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Style has killed many women. It has also caused the death of many a child; in fact, it ig the chief cause of race suicide. And our American men are just as much to blame as are their wives and daugh- Why? Because they encourage this idiotic way of women’s dress. COMMON-SENSE WOMAN. a Would Cheaper Labor Help? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Can you tell me why, when times are so hard, chil- dren at 13 cannot work? People who have a family of six and have a man working at $13 a week must be satisfied, just so they can live cheap. We must live as cheap as we can, as we have six mouths t6 feet and they eat all you give them and still want for more. HARD TIMES. Van Cleave and Simmons. To the Eéitor of the Post-Dispatch. Relative to your editorial under the above heading, it looks very much to the writer that Mr. Van Cleave hurled a boomerang when Re referred to the Presi- dent as “a man who would jar a brass monkey.’’ It evidently jarred Mr. Van Cleave. W. A. AYLSWORTH, 939 Utah street. Folk and Stone. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. When we say Folk is a candidate for Stone’s place in the United States Senaté, we mean he wishes to succeed Stone by defeating him, as Stone is @ can- didate to succeed himself. When Stone’s time is up, which will be at the end of the six-years’ term for which he was elected, he has no further claim on the place. So that when we say Folk is after Stone's place we do not really mean what we say, for Stone will have no place after he has served his term in the Senate. R. L. TOWNE. The Obstructing Hat. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. At an entertainment I attended recently, a woman sat in front of me with a wide-brim hat with a small flower garden on it. Immediately in front of her was a woman with a similar hat. Neither of them had the decency to remove their hats. Curiously, the woman in front of me fussed the entire evening be- cause the hat in front of her obstructed her view. Which is the worst, the street car men hogs or those who will do as the two mentioned women 4id? A SUFFERING MAN. St. Louis Street Cleaners. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. St. Louis has got all kinds of people on the street cleaning jobs—Greeks, Poles, Hungarians and other foreigners, but not many St. Louis-born citizens, who help build up our great city. The foreigners get about $2 a day from the city. They live on close to $4 a week, the balance they send to their own coun- try, and in a few years they have a fortune saved. Then they go to their. country and live. When Americans get work, earning $2 or $2.25 or so a day, the foreigner tells the bosses they will work for $1 or $1.25 or so a day. Cc. H. The Food of; War. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Rear Admiral Evans’ speech in San Francisco, in which he declared fewer statesmen and more battle- ships could whip any other strong nation on earth, sounds somewhat strange to me, a Japanese. Most cases of Napoleon’s victories, it would appear, were carried on by the naked valor of his royal soldiers. So was the case with our victory over China and Russia. In any victory, the material aid counts very little. Perhaps the Admiral knew it very well, but omitted to speak. A WEST END JAP. Another Lonely Ciass. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have been reading with interest the many letters published from the lonelies. Would like to hear from the readers in regard to the young married ladies. What is a young married woman to do who does not care to sit at home every day and night alone, whose husband’s every interest is making and sav- ing money and will not go out any place at all for pleasure? Se don’t care to go out all alone and dare not go with anyone else because married. must sit at home alone. call lonely. We are the ofies I would MRS. LONELY. The Contented Cook. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Contented Cook, whose message appeared in the Post-Dispatch, would better remain contented as a cook, fdr if, after taking a business course, she would only be‘able to be a typewriter. Her business education would be sadly neglected indeed, as a type- writer is fastened to a stenographer's or copyist’s desk from morning until night and never moves ex- cept when the desk is opened and closed and at the stenographer’s (or copyist’s) touch. Being a type- writer is certainly no enviable position for any hu- man being. A STENCGRAPHER. HOPE FOR REFORM.

JUST A MINUTE FOR VERSE AND HUMOR. Written for the Posi-Dispateh by Clark McAdamga « IN ARKANSAS, LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 16.—The of- fice grabbing begun by Senator Hamitar when Gov. Pindall left the State has be- come epidemic. At 8 o’clock this morning, while State Treasurer Bill Bell was on his way to the State: House, he saw Jim Patterson trying to beat him to it. Bill is one of the best treasurers Arkansas ever had, but he is a fat man, and stuck in the fence when he tried to cut across. He accepts his defeat gracefully, and is hanging around trying to catch some- body else off the nest. After that, all was quiet along the Ar- kansas until 10 o’clock, when Clem Hackett strayed into the office of Tom Tuthill, Secretary of State. ‘‘Tom,”’ says Clem, ‘‘come out and get a drink.” ‘Go you,” says Tom. They had just cleared the State, House yard, when Clem tripped and threw Tom, and skinned for the job. Tom was after him on a]l fours part of the way, but Clem became Sec- retary by 25 feet. Tom is already work- ing for Ben Tuttle, the grocer. Not 20 minutes later, Jim Sampson telephoned in from the State Peniten- tiary that his office of warden. had just been grabbed by Jesse Colton. It seems that Jesse rushed into Jim's of- fice this morning, and shouted, “Run for your life. Jim! The prisoners have mutinied!” Jim ducked into the cellar, and Jesse got on the job. Jim was mad when he tumbled, but he was game, and inside of five minutes he had beaten another fellow to a g00d job as wall sentry. An amusing thing happened yester- day. Judge Baxter of the Supreme Court went across the street from the State House to get his lunch. While he wWas eating, Col. Dent Simp- son came in. The Colonel is an avowed aspirant for the Judge’s job, and when he caught him off the eggs, he went for them like a 2-year-old. The Judge was just cutting a pie when the Colonel’ started for his claim. As he sprang from the table, he clutched the pie in his right hand, They crossed the street, and going up the long walk to the Statehouse, the Colonel was some 85 feet in’ the lead. Seeing himself hopelessly beaten as things were go- ing, the Judge threw his pie at the Colonel, discus-fashion. It sailed up the walk, curved around the Colonel's leg, and settled immediately ahead of him. He slipped on it, and fell head- long. When he picked himself up and got under way again, the Judge's heels were just disappearing through the Statehouse door. The Colonel im- mediately ordered drinks for the town, having the Judge's sent over to him. .

ABOU JOE CANNON. BOU JOE CANNON—may his reign be short !— A Awoke from dreaming with an angry snort, And saw beside him, in a filmy mist, An angel standing with a written list. “Why comest thou?” said Abou, with a roar, And aimed his index finger at the door; But the angel laughed in answer, and observed, “He thinks I want a forest range preserved.” “What's that?” cried Abou, and the angel said, “O, keep your night shirt on, you old whitehead!”* And slowly waved before the other’s face The status of the presidential race. Abou Joe Cannon fixed his eager eyes Upon it as a lizard looks at flies, And suddenly sat up and cried with zest. “Heigho, my own great name leads all the rest!” The angel’s smile was unctuous and thick, As one’s is after such a scurvy trick; “Quite so,” he said, and grimaced like a clown, “But wake up, Joe—the list. is upside down!”

A CORRECTION, WASHINGTON, May 16.—The report that Rube Waddell accompanied the St. Louis Browns to the reception at the White House was a mistake. Waddell was the guest of honor at a reception given for him by the Secretary of Agri- culture. The department quarters ha@ been decorated with grain and vegetables, and the crack village band from Gum- bo, Md., discoursed sweet music from an improvised hay mow. Secretary Wil- son himself greeted the distinguished Visitor on the steps with mey, Rube!”’ and the band fell on its instruments for “Reuben, Reuben, I’ve Been Think- ing.”’ A long line of department experts and attaches awaited Waddell inside, and as he went along the line they rubbed’ hayseed in his hair and he carded their whiskers with a curry- comb. At 12 sharp the bell rang, and every- boay yelled and scrambled for the back porch, where they washed up in a tin basin and used a good old roller towel. The meal was an old-fashioned hired

a men's banquet. Everybody ate in his shirt sleeves, and the butter came on the table in a crock. There were no napkins and no finger bowls. Stewed beans were dipped over the right shoul- der with a long-handled dipper. Cof- fee was sipped from the saucer, and each guest was expected to take three biscuits at once. Pie came on with one Cur, and everybody got half a ple. Sitting at the head of the table, with the tablecloth tucked in his collar and his cheeks stained with blackberry pile- filling. the Reuben was a picture of bliss with a bib on. He made a short speech, in which he ventured that {t was the time of his life, and after dinner he en- tertained the experts in the lecture hall for half an hour with a learned disserta- tion on the boll weevil. Then he went out and lost his game. Elbert Hubbard says that Upton Sin- clair jumped from his Utopian woodshed into a rubber plant, and bounced off into oblivion. Kindred spirits, like all other kindred, are very brutal with one another.

Dispatch.

HE “Prima Donna” ig Marion Crawford's sequel to “Fair Margaret,” and has to do with the further developments in the career of Margaret Sonne, otherwise known as Madame Cordova, the greatest lyric soprano of her day. There is the usual amount of action incident to the life of a grand opera star, but the keynote of the book seems to be a study of the life and character of Rufus Van Torp, the American financier and man of mystery. The im- “portance of Madame Cordova’s various changes of heart in regard to her nu- merous lovers is allowed to be somewhat overshadowed in the greatness of the friendship between thé misunderstood millionaire, Van Torp, and an Eng- lish woman of marvelous beauty and strength of character, the Lady Maud Seren. The ending is quit abrupt and unsatisfactory and the reader is left with the conviction that there must be more to follow with regard to the two really great characters of the book. (Macmillan).

The L. C. Page company has presented a very attractive gift edition of a book on Northern Africa, “In the Land of Mosques and Minarets,” written and illustrated by Francis Miltoun and Blanche McManus. Aside from the beauty of the edition, there is a great deal to be said for it as a study of the land histori¢ally, geographically and architecturally, and it would be most interesting to travelers through the desert.

“Addresses and Speeches of Charles Evans Hughes’ is a substantial book with an appreciative character sketch of the Governor by Jacob Gould Schur- man. Mr. Hughes’ utterances are those of a serious man intent upon worthy ambitions. They have historical value as well as personal and political in- terest. (Putman.) “Studies in Judaism” is from the scholarly pen of Dr. Solomon Schechter, president of the Jewish Theological Seminary, New York. This volume forms the second series of Prof. Schechter’s studies. The first series was published gome ten years ago. The present volume can, of course, be read independent- ly of the first. It consists of lectures and essays delivered by Dr. Schechter before the University College of London, Jewish Theological Seminary, and

printed in leading publications of America and England. Although the volume - looks forbidding at first sight, in these days of ‘‘best sellers’ and funny verse, one is agreeably surprised by the ease with which Prof. Schechter tells of his researches in the Genizah, or hiding place, where he discovered among many other valuable things, the pages recording the wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sira. In passing to the chapter dealing with the life of the Jews in the time of Ben Sira, the reader forgets that Ben Sira lived at least 200 B. C., so mod- ern are some of the wisdom gems recorded in the chapter. Prof. Schechter’s style is captivating in its simplicity and clearness and his new volume forms a valuable contribution to the literature of Judaism. (Jewish Publication So- ciety.) Much of the world is {. for the fishing rods we use. The expensive Tonkin rods come from French Indo-China, on the Gulf of Tonkin, an arm of the China Sea. Probably most of them are cut in the valleys of the Black and Red rivers, which lie due east of Mandalay in’ Burma. Calcutta rods come from the sume latitude in India and afe yery hard to obtain, more than 560 per cent of the canes being destroyed by the native process of burning them to make them straight. Japayese bamboo ig an inferior substitute. Lancewood

eomes from the West Indies, and is brought to New York in large quantities by the coastwise traders. It is used more than any other wood for rod-making in this country. Dagama comes from Cuba and is rather common. The tree grows 40 and 50 feet high and has few branches. It is the favorite material of ‘beginners making their own rods. Bethabara is an African wood. Greenheart is from Guiana, and is a laurel. “Split bamboo is unquestionably the best ma- terial for rods today,"’ says Dr. Perry D. Frazer in “The Angler’s Work- shop,””’ a new book for fishermen who want to make their own rods. Mr. Fra- ger makes his, and assures his readers that any of them can learn to do it, and will take great delight and pride in the product of their hands. His book _explains every part of the process, and is helpfully illustrated. Twisted bam- » Ways ¥ ¥ Historic love beo rods he finds the strongest. Laying a twisted rod and a straight rod on a tal +, and attaching eight-ounce weights to the line, he found the straight sod drawn much farther out of line than the twisted rod. He also finds that to make a Calcu’ § rod requires twice the time necessary to make a Tonkin rod, and that the Calcutta shows the more imperfections at that. (Forest and Stream Publishing Co.) )

A whipping post for servants probably. is not the solution of the servant problem in this countr’ but Marshal P. Wilder found it extremely efficacious in the Philippines. Mr. Wilder says the Spaniards on the islands whipped their servants, and had very good ones; but that the Americans refused to do this when they succeeded the Dons as the ruling race. In consequence. servants in tl Philippines become lazy, saucy and worthless.

How grent was the Prince's infatuation for this charming lady is shown by his letters to her, from which these cre typical extracts: “I must be married or die. Good God! how I feel! And my love to be doubted sincere and warm. The Lord knows : the truth of it; and as I say, if I am ' mot married in forty-eight hours I am ‘What will become of me? z a ta answered: ¥ « +. mo more.

You shall do as you like; my whole soul rejoices in the assurances ef your love, and to your exertions I will trust. To be yours seems a dream ‘that I cannot make cut; the whole day have I been plunged in misery; and now to awake to joy is a felicity that is be- yond my ideas of Diiss. Do as you will; I am what you will; your will must be mine, and no will can ever be Gecarer to me, more mine, than that of my all.”’ - The Duke of York was no whit his _poyal brother's inferior as a writer of impassioned love-epistles. 4 | “Oh, my ‘engel,” he wrote in one cf his many tet to Mistress Mary Anne Clarke, more dowered with physical har than breeding, “do me justice | t my whole happiness depends , you alone.

There is a charming frankness in the letters of Mrs. Fitzherbert to her royal lover, and later husband, George IV. In one of them she writes, in answer to a request to meet the Prince after, leaving the ballroom: “Meet you! What, you, the Prince of Wales, whose character in the annals of gallantry is too well known for me to suppose that after such a meet- ing I should have any character at all?” In vain did the Prince try to break down the barriers of Margarita’s modesty—much of which, We fear, was rather a bait to lure her royal lover to the altar, as she succeeded in doing in later years. She even went so far as to threaten to withdraw her friend- ship from him, a threat which evoked this reply: : “Painful pre-eminence, would that I could lay it aside! Or that I might be permitted to introduce as a daughter to Her Md@esty virtues congenial to her own. To a prince who greatly wants it, so bright an example. To my sub- jects, so amiable a lady. Vain delu- sion! I know—I regret the impossibi)- ity; deprive me not of your friendship: but try to give comfort to that heart which is all your own.” Some of the most beautiful letters ever written were those inspired by CASTORIA ‘Wor Infants and Children, newspaper of small circulation and lit- tle influence there has been developed by his energy and under his directing mind a great property, one of the chief newspapers of the world, an effective force for right and sound things in public affairs, a salutary influence in the community, a journal that, in the broad lines of its policy and its effort, stané3 for what right-minded men ought to think and desire, for what good citi- zens do think and desire.

I would never see anything but pleasure in your eyes, love on your lips and happiness in your steps. ees My dear girl; I love you ever and ever and without reserve.

I can bear to die—I can- not bear to leave her. O God, God, God' everything I have in my trunks that reminds me of her goes through me like a spear. QO, that I could be buried near where she lives! I am afraid to write to her—to receive a letter from her—to see her handwriting would break my heart.’’ Ten years after Keats had. closed his troubled life this woman, on whom he had lavished such adoration, wrote thus of him: “The kindest act would be to let him rest forever in the obscurity to which circumstances have condemned him.’”’ This interesting chapter on love letters will be con- jtinued in Monday’s Post- Dispatch.

Quite different was the coif- fure of the ladies of the time of Nero. The Lady Poppaeh had quite a num- ber of styles from which to select. In the thirteenth century women wore the hair in one plait in the back. This was wrapped about the head and over the forehead. In Amsterdam, had you lived about that time, you could have seen one of the most amazing head- dresses of the ages. A covering was worn over the front part of the head. This was made of a rich fabric and decorated with jewels. {in the back of the head a mass of tair bulged balloon-like, stiffened with waxes and oils. In France the results of curl papers issumed many shapes. Among the most attractive and picturesque was the headdress of the days of Madame de Grignen. Then the curl paper was much in evidence. A lady’s head simply rippled with curls—small curls, dainty curls, a perfect cascade of curls. Then, too, a lady’s hair might be above the ears, and arranged in a bunch of curls to dangle on both sides of the face. We come to the time of Marie An- toinette. The tresses were curled in the back, little curls nestled about the neck, and at the apex of the head was a tuft of feathers. Pompadours be- came magnified; they swelled to amaz- ing proportions. Hats were tilted piquantly on the side of the lady’s head —it was impossible to wear them on top. Ladies of high position devised many original schemes ‘of pompadours; the dome of golden or powdered was often woven with flowers. styles were bizarre but pretty. In the early part of the nineteenth century most fashionable women wore the hair parted in the middle. The curl paper was used for the tresses, and the hair was so curled that it fluffed from the side of the head beneath the pressure of a coronet. RESSING FROM ALL AGES | tresses The

If We Had Our Pick! It took about fifteen minutes for the remarks to die away and about the duration of the game for the mob to become convinced that the Cardinals would be a fortunate team if they -eould rob the same graveyard that Bos- ‘ton invaded and get the said Browne, Beaumont, Dahlen et al. by ers who, ' valuable man. He was For, like McAleer, Kelley struck play- although they had been con- . Bigned to sepulchral shades, were mere- ly buried alive and only needed a chance to resuscitate. Browne, the first of the batting order, is a most let go in a trade with Boston only because the club had such unbeatable outfielders and stick weilders as Donlin, Seymour - and Shannon, » when not guarding one a clean single, with Bresnahan to sub the home plate.

Beaumont gathered in the same rec- ord, a single and a safe bunt, which showed that his speed and eye are un- impaired. Ritchey and Dahlen demon- - -etrated that they have lost little if any ' of the form that won them fame, In fact, Ritchey today would be more val- uable to Fred Clarke than Abbaticchio. - Bowerman and McGann were both there with singles and so, for a bunch of “dead ones,” that acted strangely a4 > work of the Bostons as a whole, Waiting for a Chance.

They had their eyes fixed on Boston (wherever that town may be on that only a great pitcher at his best can do. The Cardinals were absolutely at his mercy and their four hits were scattered hopelessly. Delehanty led off with a Texas lea- guer back of first base, in the secosd; was sacrificed, and was left. waiting at the base. With one down in the third Raymond hit a clean one, and remained waiting on the base. In the fifth O'Rourke again got winging with a Safety only to be left and Murray was likewise left in the sixth. Dorner passed a couple of men and hit another but it never gave the red caps any worry whatever, But, on the other hand— Raymond, the unlucky, has a fault of causing his own team’s errors. In order to get his peculiar curves or breaks, Raymond anoints the ball until it be- comes so slippery that his assistants find difficulty in handling it. Yesterday two mistakes, that started all the run get- ting by the Brooklyn team, were due to this fact. In the fifth inning Bill Dahlen cadged his way to first on four balls. Raymond then wet up the sphere and when it went wide, Hostetter, who re- placed Ludwig, let it slip through his glove and Dahlen took second. It went as a wild pitch, but Hostetter would have held a dry ball. Then came an- other—a third strike that slithered through the glové ®f Hostetter, forcing that catcher to throw to first and let- ting Dahlen go to third. From this position he scored when Konetchy dropped a ball he himself had fielded and was carrying to the sack to com- plete an out. But for the wetness Dahlen would never have made the cir- cuit. Again, in the sixth, something similar happened, although this time a stinging two-base hit started the trouble. Bates made it. He was sacrificed by McGann and started to score when Bowerman hit to O'Rourke. The Bates with a throw to the plate, but to let Bowerman make the circuit to third, Bates got caught in a run-up. While in the act of being thrown out by Charles, the wet ball slipped from the latter’s hand and hit the runner in the back and rolled clear out of Hostetter’s reach, both men on bases scoring. There are the three runs and the game, and the real tally should have beeu nothing nothing, barring the misplays. The score: o a ° . SH. SB. PC 0 -) o> Browne, rf .. Beaumont, cf .

LINCOLN WINS AT CHAMPAIGN Central High Athlete Is First in Shotput; Davis Qualifies in Hurdles.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHAMPAIGN, Ill, May 16.—With only two entries, St. Louis Central High School made an excellent start toward winning the University of Illinois inter- scholastic track and field meet here this morning. The boys were Jim Lincoln and Vest Davis. Lincoln was the first man to score in the meet, he winning the shotput, and gaining 5 points for the St. Louis pair. It was a. splendid put Lincoln made, he heaving the missile 46 ft. 11-3 in. Of course it was only the 12-pound shot. In the dashes neither man - partici- pated; but in the 220-yard hurdle Vest Davis won his heat from McGregor of Wendell Phillips, Chicago, in the next best time of the preliminaries. The pair figure on taking 20 points out of the meet when it is over, and if they do they will come close to bring- ing home the point trophy for St. Louis Central. The times made in trial-heats of the hundred this morning were far from brillant, the best being 10 3-5s. Barnes of Oak Park duplicated his performance of last year by winning the mile run in comparatively easy style, with Davis of Peoria second. Hance of Newman, touted as a victor, had to be satisfied with third. The time was fast, 4:41 2-5. NEBRASKA NINE T0 PLAY DOUBLE-HEADER AT C. B. 6. The.

OCEAN IS LIMIT IN AUTO RACE Transcontinental Event From New York to Frisco and Back Again Arranged.

NEW YORK, May 16.—As the result of a meeting of automobile manufactur- ers and their representatives here to- night, the holding of a transcontinental automobile race from New York to San Francisco and back again’ is practically assured. It is proposed to start the race about Aug. 15 of this year. At tonight’s meet- ing a committee was appointed to draft conditions for the race, to appoint a general committee and to report back to a second meeting of the manufactur- ers which will be held within the next two weeks. It was the sentiment of the meeting that the race should be one testing both speed and endurance, the winner being the car which arrives first with the least number of replacements; that it should be a stock car race; and that a car should be operated by a single crew. Four manufacturers have already reg- istered formal entries for the race and four others announced their intention of entering cars providing the conditions are satisfactory. A committee to formulate the condi- tions was appointed. WANDERERS CRICKET TEAM TO PLAY ST. LOUIS MAY 30 Arrangements for Bringing Famous Chicago Eleven Here Com- pleted by Dr. Murray.

Roller, the big Seattle wrestler, defeated Fred Beell in a gruelling match in this city, last night, he put himself right in line for a match for the world’s championship with Frank Gotch, Ameri- can champion. Beell is rated among the big three of the wrestling world, Gotch. Beell and Olsen. Beell defeated Gotch for the American championship at New Orleans, not so long ago, but Gotch later won back his title. Last night Roller surprised even his friends by defeating Beell. He gained the first fall after 1 hour and 16 minutes’ hard work. He tossed Beell again after 35 ininutes of the hardest and fastest wrestling ever witnessed in this ny: GREAT HORSE "SUPERMAN MAY NEVER RACE AGAIN NEW YORK, May 16.—James R.

McAleer Says Boston Discard Has ‘No Superior in American League Today.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, May 16.—One of the surprises of the baseball season so far has been the work of Hobe Ferris at third base for the St. Louis Browns. He has actually startled the fans in every city the Browns have played in this spring and each day he is gettifig better on the job. Manager McAleer last night said that he had the best third baseman in the American League. His words were: ‘Ferris is the player on my club that we have to hand it to. I wouldn't trade him today for any third baseman in the American League. I tell you, he has them all beaten as an allround man for the position. I can’t see where there is a man that is playing the position as well as he is today. He is hitting, fielding and running the bases. He Is a quick thinker and knows where to make a play just as well in that position as when he was a second baseman on the Boston club. I don’t think I'll ever re- gret the day that I got him.”’ It may be remembered by some of:the St. Louls fans that Mr. McAleer was quoted in the Post-Dispatch last De- cember as saying he would play Hobe Ferris at third base. There was a roar at once from many St. Louis critics who said such a move would be foolish and that Ferris should be kept at second base and Williams played at third. Ferris is just as lively in fielding bunts and making the quick under-hand throw across the diamond on such chances as is Bradley or Tannehill. Possibly the latter has a bit better arm, but he has no better judgment than the St. Louis player. Bill Dinneen Feels Fit, Bill Dinneen says he feels like pitch- ing one of the Philadelphia games. However, the weather may be damp ahd chilly much of the time, and un- der such conditions Bill will not be allowed to risk his arm. Connie Mack claims to have found a wonderful piteher in Carter, the youngster, who has done some remark- able work this spring. Mack's team always was strong in pitchers and some one recently said if he had lost Wad- dell, Plank, Bender and Dygert al] at once he would havé bobbed up when the season opened with another string of twirlers equal to the old. sob Wallace is a great enthusiast over checkers, as is Manager McAleer and Jack O’Connor. A checker board is as essential to the traveling paraphernalia of the Browns as the bat bag. Riding on the train or waiting through the morning at the hotel the checkerboard is always busy. Hack Spencer-reads more'than any two players on the Browns. His rec- ord for the trip so far is six novels, 17 short stories, two speeches and a sermon. Krank Hough, the secretary of the Philadelphia Club, as well as sporting editor of the Inquirer, says the outlaw Union League ts having quite a struggle to exist. Maybe Rube thought of that. Mrs. Rhody Wallace is along with the team, she being the only one of the players’ wives on this trip. Bob can be coaxed away long enough to play three games of checkers eaeh day, two in the morning and one in the evening. John Powell may climb Into the pitch- er’s box for one of the games in Phil- adelphia. Powell is sure of one and Pelty is ready. Hobe Ferris says the Rube can have his day here, but he himself hopes to have four days in Bos- ton, where he formerly played. Jimmy Williams and Dan Hoffman will get the reception when the team reaches New York. —_—__—_@--— Shurtleff Defeats C. B, C. The C. B.

a eae Philadelphia Series Will Be H If Tryout of McAleer’s Men on, Eastern Campaign.

St. W the season as an outlaw. hied himself at the service of Col. such as his truancy in Washington, The Browns in Philadelphia without Rube would have b like a circus without the clowns. It ‘wouldn't take at all, so Rube has saved the show. All Philadelphia is ready to greet him. When the train pulled into ‘the city last night there were a half dozen anx- ious faces peering at the boys in search of Rube. His several years of work in this city has placed him alongside of Behjamin Franklin as a leading citizen and his old friends were all after him on the first night. But Rube cleverly sidestepped the squad by walking through the train and getting off back of the engine. The fans here want him to pitch two of the four games to be played, but Col. Mac said he thought one wouid be all Rube would be asked to handle. That one will come either Monday or Tuesday. Rube and Manager McAleer had no more words after the big twirler came back to the club. FBPossibly to his sur- prise he was not even asked where he had been. McAleer went along a& if he had forgotten that Rube. had ever threatened to jump the Browns and join the terrible outlaws. Rube a Tamed Bandit. Rube was anything but an outlaw on his return. The Browns reached the Quaker town at 8:30 in the evening. They were hauled up to the Aldine Ho- tel and quartered in rooms vacated only a few hours previously by the Chicago White Sox, who had hurried off to Washington when the rain stopped the game here. McAleer’s players had their dinners on the dining car. The series beginning today against the powerful Athletic8 is expected to be the hardest the Browns will have to play on the present Eastern trip. There will be four games, barring any postpone- ments, and Manager McAleer stated this morning that he would be well pleased indeed if his men can win two of them. The postponement of the final game of Washington series put a little crimp in the Browns, for it seemed almost cer- tain that they would give Cantillen's men another beating and make it three out of four games. Now they must be content with two out of three. Connie Mack has his club in splendid form this spring. It seems doubtful of its ability to keep the pace, but just now it is about the hardest club in the league to lick. His veterans, Jimmy Collins, By JAMES CRUSINBERRY.

‘STOCK ADVANCES SFREET HEALTHY

a Small Group of Daring Million- aires With Bank Money.

NEW YORK, May 16.—The Evening Post in its financial review says: “The movement of stocks today was merely continuance of the preceding movement of the week; it was based, like that, on the operations with bank money by a small group of daring mil- lionatres. “It would be superfluous to talk of *” ‘coquses’ for the market today; “no causes in the news, and carried the it had movements well past the bounds where it cannet be intelligently discussed ex- cept as a stock jobbing venture of ex- ceptional audacity. “All that came to light today in the line of news, such as concerns a normal market, was the engagement of some $2,000,000 more gold for export. This makes nearly $6,000,000 to go out next Tuesday and raises the week’s move- ment to a figure larger than the en- tire previous exports of the year. ‘‘The stock market closed with a mod- erate reaction. “With the further advance in stocks this week, the community at large has go become convinced of impending -trade revival that interest may proper- ly converge, from now forward, upon +, the signs of this expected recovery.

Theref-r., it may be as well to say here, what every intelligent banker knows already, that the whole performance in the House and the Sen- ate is, from a financial point of view, a humbug.” The market closed irregular and very active. New high levels were touched by various stocks, while continued real- izing in others kept the tone irregular. St. Paul was conspicuous with an ad- vance of 1% and Reading rose over a point. Western Maryland was pushed up 3%, General Electric 2%, Louisville & Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line 3. Union Pacific was carried up 2% in the final dealings. In the initial sales of the session the market showed renewed strength, with new high records again made in the leading issues. The most important fea- tures were Union Pacific and Reading, both of which were in brisk demand. Other railroad stocks were generally strong. The stocks most prominent in the trading were those in which there is understood to be a heavy short inter- est. It is generally assumed that the chief incentive for the most important de- mands for stocks during the session was the covering by the “short"”’ interests. These demands resulted in the entire list improving, although in an irregular |> fashion, Heavy realizing was in prog- ' vees during the advance. Beyond the constant easing of the money market and the resulting im- provement in investment demand for new capital issues the news of the _ ‘week offered no new striking improve- . ment in present conditions which might - account for the rise in prices. There is nothing whatever in the present situation to justify the sharp a@vances that have been made in the market the past week. Industrial conditions are no better— in many respects they are worse—than they were two months ago. Specula- tors are proverbially prone to take ex- tra risks, and the present advance on stocks is based exclusively on the prospects of a bountiful grain crop, and ‘that money is at the lowest ebb it has “preached in New York in a long time. The theory that the concerted action ot a group of daring millionaires is for the week's advance in ‘stocks is y true, for the general lation could only come from a that had a vast amount of mon- ey at its disposal. The advance, there- “P8 fore, te. attificlal, and under existing ae ‘elrcumstances it can hardly be main- _ tained for long.. The market is nuw topheavy.

Several of the students already are licensed preachers of the United Evan- gelical denomination, and Mr Gross will base his objection to their ordination at the end of their college course upon the criminal charges that he has directed his attorney, former Mayor Fred E. Lewis of this city, to institute against the hazers., Warrants were issued at Lebanon for their arrest upon the charge of aggra- vated assault and battery. Gross ‘was taken out of bed at night, given a cold bath, and after his hair was shaved off he was carried into the street and tied to a lamppost, where he was kept prisoner for an hour.

A HERE DON'T BELIEVE IN INSANITY GERM Ohio Doctor a eas His Dis- covery That Microbes Make People Crazy.

CREDITED TO INMATE

One St. Louis Expert Takes Humorous View of the Situation.

St. Louis alienists ridicule the an- nouncement of Dr. John Ww. O’Brien of massilon, O., that he has discovered the germ of insanity. Dr. O’Brien, who is connected with one of Ohio's State his discovery hospitals, announced Thursday to the American Medico-Psy- chological Association at Cincinnati. “An insahe asylum is a good place to look for the germ of insanity,” com- mented Dr. Charles H. Hughes. ‘“When I heard of it being discovered there I was eager to know whether the discov- ery had been made by a superintendent or one of the inmates. “Insanity, especially paretic indganity, is an inflammation of the surface of the brain and is generally the product of an excessive brain strain. It has been called the ‘product of civilization.’ Al- coholism frequently causes it. But no such thing as an insanity germ ever has been found.” “The germ has been ‘discovered’ sev- eral times,’’ said Dr. H. W. Hermann, ‘‘but I take no stock in these so-called discoveries. It is not likely to be a ‘micfobial disease. It is fairly well known and is certainly not due to a mi- crobe in the ordinary sense of the word.”’ No Grounds for Hypothesis. “There is nothing on which to predi- Teate such a hypothesis as Dr. O’Brien advances,’ said Dr. Edward Francis Brady, 3126 Morgan street. ‘Insanity is sometimes an overwrought state of ‘he nervous system. Men who are en- saged in highly nervous occupations, such as trading on exchanges, or under- gcing perils of sea voyages, are partic- ularly subject to it. “But you can’t classify and label the different kinds of insanity like you might a box of groceries. It would be a very happy condition if everything in medicine could be handled that way, but such is not the case.”’
