TRIES TO ECONOMIZE an — Union Electric Shows Up Monthly With Demand for More. | a 8 Mrs. Ellen S. McDermott of 1515 Lo- cust street, is a small consumer who is paying more for electric light under the November schedule of the Union Elec- tric Light ana Power Co. than she was under her old contract. Mrs. McDermott formerly paid a net rate of 4 cents an arc lamp hour, which is the equivalent of .55 of a kilowatt hour. Her fermer rate was the equiva- lent of 7 3-11 cents a kilowatt hour. Mrs. McDermott’s case shows that shc is not benefitted by the new contract, as Union Electric claims smail consumers are, and it offers one of the reasons why a public utilities commission shculd we created immediately. Under the old contract she guargnteed a minimum of $1 a month. Under the new contract guarantees $6 a month. There is an increase of 600 per cent in her mirimum. By guaranteeing 30 cents for each equivalent 16-candlepower lamp connected, she gets a base rate, under the new shedule, of 11 cents a kilowatt hour. Minimum 600 Per Cent Higher. In May last year Mrs. McDermott was charged with 156 lamp hours, at $6.24. In May, 1908, her bill was $11.87 for 141 kilowatt hours. In July last year, Mrs. McDermott paid $3.¢S for her light. If ghe uses the same amount of light this} year as she did tne same month last year she will have to pay $6 for it, on account of the increase !n ner minimum. Mrs. McDermott says she has taken extraordinary precautions to reduce her consamption of electricity, but the high- er rates keep her bills up to the notch they reached in the winter season when she was burning the lamps much longer hours. Mrs. McDermott has a boarding. house. Shé has a contract under the schedule cf-rates applicable to small business This Consumer Refuses to Pay. William L. Johnson, proprietor of the Johnsen Automobile Co., 489 Olive street, has refused to pay Union Electric a Claim of $58 for meters and lamps de- stroyed in a fire in the plant, Jan. 17. Mr. Johnson contends that he is not responsible, under the contract, for the loss of the meter and lamps. “T am responsible only in case they Were destroyed through some negli- ence of mine,” said Mr. Johnson to a ost-Dispatch reporter. The fire was certainly no fault vt mine, and I do ot intend to pay for the property un- ess the courts make me do it. Held Responsible for Fire. “The contract says specifically that in case of fire the consumer ig re- lieved of obligation to pay any part of the minimum monthly guarantee. Notwithstanding this provision in the contract the company wanted me to y the minimum for the menth fol- owing the fire. I finally convinced them that I was not responsible. “T have a deposit of $25 with Union Electric. My December. bill. which was not due at the time of the fire, has not been paid. It amounted to $10 and I figure that the Union Elec- tric owes me $15 instead of me owing it anything. “I have turned the matter over to my attorney.” Your credit is good if you rent a phone.

HOMESICK GIRL SWALLOWS IODINE, BUT WILL RECOVER Leaves Note Saying She Could Not Live at Home and Wanted to Die. Gertrude Katmann, 21 years old and employed at 5165 Cabanne avenue, made up her mind Monday morning that she was better off dead. She wrote a note expressing that conviction and swal- lowed iodine. Prompt medical aid saved her life. She is at the City Hos- pital. Her condition is not serious. The girl had been in St. Louis three or four weeks. She came here from her home at Westover, Mo. Lately she had been homesick. She complained that she was unhappy because she could not live at home. The note reads as follows: “Good-by. I'm better off dead. Give $100 to my father and my watch to my sister. Thanking you all for what you have done for me and hoping I am forgiven.” It was addressed to nobody and was | not signed.

He is an electrician and lives at 2607 Park avenue. He says that when he read in the news- papers Friday that Mrs. Gerling accused him of cutting her he went to Kansas City, but remained there only one day. He came back Saturday night, he says, and since then had been trying to sum- mon sufficient courage to surrender to the police. “I knew Ligzgie before she married Henry Gerling four years ago, “he said to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “Since she and Gerling have separated I have seen her frequently. I was to her house Thursday night on her invi- tation. She said she wanted to talk to me about something important. She led me up the stairs. Brother Asleep in Room. “We passed through the_ kitchen, where her brother, Louis Rohling, was asleep with his head on a table. We went through the room where mother was asleep and into the front room. Lizzie’s 9-year-old brother, Joe, was asleep on the bed there. “IT had bought a new pair of shoes and carried my old ones in a bundle. The new shoes hurt me and I took them off to rest my feet while we talked. “She opened a dresser drawer and pulled out a big dirk knife. Before I could do anything she had run the blade across her throat twice and cut herself on the temple. At a Saloon All Day. “When I tried to take the knife from her, she pulled it through my hands. She screamed and I was afraid her folks would wake up and think I cut her. I left my new shoes and took the old ones under my arm and ran out. Lizsie’s mother, Mrs. Rohling, saw m2 as I rar through the room. “I Jumped over the back fence and ran east to Oregon avenue, where I put on my shoes. I wandered around all night.

The rate fixed on these bonds is 4 * cent, but the premiums expected will probably put them on a basis of 3.50 to 3.75 per cent, Hundreds of inquiries from leading bankers and brokers have been received,’ both by Mr. Piayer and Mayor Wells. From the interest that has been shown, the Mayor and Comptroller predict a heavy over-subscription of the amount. which includes $600,000 for the free bridge. Stronger Market Indicated. Boston recent sale of bonds, bearing the same rate of interest ga those of St. Louis, was on the basis of 3.56 per cent. This, together with the numerous re- quests for information, indicates, ac- cording to Mr. Player, that the market for municipal securities has grown much stronger. Only three times since 1888 have St. Louis bonds failed to command premi- ums. In 1891 $2,499,921.05 of bonds at 4 per cent sold at par. In 1893, in the middle of a panic, $1,250,690.50 worth, at 4 per cent, were purchased at their face. Last year, when the financial markets were again disturbed, $922,000 of an jssue of $2,000,- 000 were taken at par, but yielded only 3.65 per cent to the investors. World’s Fair Bonds at 3.25. One issue of $5,000,000 of bonds as the city’s contribution to the World’s Fair, were marketed at 3.25 per cent and the rate on nine other lots ranged between that figure and 3.65 per cent. Besides the $500,000 for the free bridge, the bonds to be sold Wednes- day will be in these lots and for these purposes: Hospitals, $800,000; Fire Department, $120,000; municipal bulld- ings, $2,000,000? bridges and viaducts, $400,000; King's highway boulevard, $500,000; public sewers, $600,000: parks. $670,000. The sale of these bonds will leave to be sold $5,700,000 of the $11,200,000 authorized in June, 1906. Pauley Goes to Trial Tuesday. Edward B. Pauley, who is under 4 indictments in connection with the Cir- cuit Attorney’s investigation into the straw bond industry, will go to trial in Judge Muench’s court Tuesday.

Comprom- ise would mean the seating of some delegates not entitled to seats and that would hurt the party in the districts. Every man who claims election as a delegate should be heard by the Na- tional Committee and each case decided solely on its merits so that the men properly elected delegates are seated. “The Taft people don’t want to win contests by default. Where the con- testants did not appear last week, Taft men moved to delay decisions until both sides could be heard.”’ Mr. Hitchcock declined to discuss the national committeeman chairmanship, except to say that he was not a candi- date and that he only wanted to see the best man chosen. He declined to men- tion names. . B. Humphrey, the Hughes mana- ger, still talked was over the — saying that they would be carrie through the national committee and the credentials committee. ‘The country is not going to finally approve bulldozing tactics,” said he, “and, further, in the credential commit- tee, there won’t be any proxy holders, as in the national committee.” TAFT GAINS TEN DELEGATES IN CONTEST DECISION CHICAGO, June 8. The Republican : National Commit- tee today decided the unsettled con- tests for National Convention seats in three districts in Georgia and one in Florida and the First Kentucky Dis- trict. The net result was a gain for Taft of ten delegates. Senator-elect Bradley of Kentucky spoke in vain for the anti-Taft dele- gates. Tne First District was immediately decided for Taft. These are to be followed by the. Lou- isiana contests, where, ii is charged, the Taft delegates excluded the negro dele- fates simply because they were colored. The settlement of these contests is ex- pected to set a precedent, and a com- promise decision is looked for. Earlier in the day the Committee took up the contest from the Third Florida District and decided in favor of the Taft men. This was the only Florida eontest left over from Saturday. On the list after Georgia comes the Kentucky contests. It is possible Louisi- ana may be reached, but not regarded as probable. Most of the contests to be settled are those of negro voters instructed for For- aker. Exceptions are those from four Kentucky districts. which are claimed for Fairbanks, and two Missouri dis- tricts which the Hughes men contend are rightfully theirs. No Compromise for Taft Men. The first suggestion to the Taft men 10 compromise since the National Com- mittee began its sessions was made to- cay when a vote was called for on the first Georgia distyict contest. Sena- tor Scott of West Virginia suggested that the vote of this district be split, giving one vote to Taft and one to the “allies.” The vigorous rejection of this tug- gestion indicated that the Taft men in ihe National Comusittee intended t» continue their “steam roller’ plan of riding over the “‘allies’’’ delegates and g.t as many Taft delegates as they can. A statement emanating from the camp of the “‘allies’’ was current this after- noon that a resolution will be offered to the National Convention to cut down the Southern representation in future Republican conventions and to increase the Northern representation. The “al- lies’’ charge that the Taft people are behind such a resolution. Wind Forces Adjournment. Tre committee was forced to take a sudden adjournmenf@at noon to avoid an accident. The room in which the committee meetings have so far been held is in the Coliseum Annex, and was made by the erection of several temporary par- titions. A high wind weakened one of these pieces of frame work. It was about to fall upon the heads of the committeemen when it was noticed by Sergeant-at-Arms William F. Stone. He at once asked Chairman New to order an adjournment and the members has- tily left the room. Carpenters were summoned and the partition was properly braced and sup- ported.

WEISS BEER TO BLAME A Pony Per Capita Last Year _ Did You Get Bf te Yours? TOE O, fizz! St. Louis is the fifteenth city in the United States. Here we've sat ali along, thinking it was the fourth, But now comes the Bureau of Statis- tics of the Treasury Department and shows that in the race for the Joy Pen- nant, this old town has slipped away back into the sec- ond division. There was a man here once tNat had achampagne- drinking average of 369 but he diedi~y and since theny there hasn't been any good team work. At least the of- ficial figures com- piled by Uncle Sam would indi- cate that St. Louis is not seek- ing ‘‘the bubble reputation’ with as much energy as other cities are. Just think of it! Only 19,728 quarts of imported cham- pagne came into St. Louis in the fiscal year just closed. That’s only one quart to each % of the city’s population. Did you get yours? Some time in the last year, you were entitled to your per c*pita share—one pony of ‘‘wealthy water.” “IF YOU DIwN’T GET IT, WHO DID?” Wili Mayor Wells appoint a commis- sion to investigate this? Maybe not, but the fact remains that St. Louis is placed in a mighty smal fight as a ‘“‘bottle opener.”’ In explanation of the figures, it has been suggested that St. Louisans go to New York when they want to drink champagne. This may account for that city’s con- sumption of 3,441, 516 quarts in one year. Or maybe it’s weiss bier that is keeping down St. Louis’ wine aver- age. In that case, St. Louis has New York backed clean off the bubble map. In each glass of weiss bier, there are 329, 463,928,216 bubbles compared with only 34,362,912,128 in a bottle of cham- pagne. And the beauty of it is that a pint of weiss bier makes a full quart when its poured in a glass. St. Louis should demand the figures on weiss bier. the treasury department include in its report all bubbly drinks under one class- ification. As it is, St: Louis is being placed in a false position as a place where the cup that cheers ts not ap- preciated. GWE ME PLEASE, A Pras KNUCKLE. Ane A STEIN OF BEER. ete 4 \ THE HISTORY OF A MONTH!

BREAKS UPA PART Rasinski Wanted to Play “Hi Lee, Hi Lo” on Wisniew- ski’s Instrument. — e e ——— Listening to the sweet strains of Alex Wisniewski's accordeon at Adam Ra- sinski’s christening party, John Rasins- ki, brother of the host, felt his pent-up ambitions rising in him. Unable to re- sist the call of his oversoul, he ex- claimed rapturously: “Brother, I be'leve [I could play ‘Hi lee, hi lo,’ on that thing.” “Go on,” said Adam. “You'd break it.

$1,025,000 LAND DEAL Syndicate Purchases Tract and Will Plat It in Build- ing Lots. — — — — An ivy-covered wall is to blot the Wabash Railroad out of the landscape, 80 far as it is now mars the Catlin tract, which has been sold to a syndi- cate, to be turned into a high-class resi- dence district. The tracks skirting the tract have hitherto hindered its development. At- tempts have been made to depress them or have them removed entirely, but these have failed. Electric Locomotives Probable. There is also a hope, it is said, that the objectionableness of the railroad will be still further abated by the Wabash using electric locomotives in- Side the city. It is not yet certain what will be done about the Rock Island tracks. The Rock Isiand is said to be willing to sell for $430,000, the amount it paid for the ground which it holds. There is said to be a probability that the members of the syndicate will raise the money and buy the property. The tract adjoins Forest Park on the north and extends from Union avenue to Skinker road. It contains. 7321 front feet and has a depth of 570 feet. The Mercantile Trust Co. sold it. The price was $1,025,000. Members of Syndicate. The members of the syndicate are William K. Bixby, Robert S. Brookings, Daniel Catlin, Festus J. Wade, John Scullin, D. R. Francis, H. D. Sexton, Thomas S. Maffitt, August Gehner, Ed- ward 8S. Robert, Edward A. Faust, Mur- ray Carleton, Amandee V. Reyburn and Hanford Crawford, It is expected that the lots will have at least 100 feet frontage on the park and run northward, the entire depth of 570 feet. Some of the syndicate mem- bers expect to reserve 6500 feet front. Most of them will build on the tract. The deal is one of the largest and most important made in St. Louis in a@ number of years.

Most of the passengers disagree with this theory, saying the speed was s0 great and the curve so sharp that no other explanation for the distaster need be sought. Car at High Speed. Nearly ninety persons were on the car on its eastbound trip from the lake at 10 o'clock Sunday night, and the lights of Delmar Garden were within view. Many of the passengers commented on the speed the car was making—30 miles an hour, some said; 4 to 50, others ventured. Few knew of the sharp, al- most right-angled curve just ahead, and those who remembered such a place trusted to the motorman to know the speed he could make safely. Suddenly the curve was reached, the car left the rails and leaped, in the air and fell across the other track. Some Crushed Under Others, Not a passenger had had time to jump. Those who had been in the inside seats were hopelessly pinned under the mass of those who had been nearer the end. Some of those in the middle and end seats fell over the heads of those inside, and plunged through the opening above the grated screen to the cinders below. Some of these went under the frame- work of the car and were crushed. A few who were hurled from the rear seat as the car first lurched over rolled down an embankment, and lay there groaning, their faces lacerated and their clothing torn. Neighbors from the little settlement nearby ran to the tracks, and soon a crowd from Delmar Garden, emptying the theater and the refreshment tables, Was at the scene. Many Clamor for Motorman, Few lent assistance to the rescuers, while many clamored for the motorman, demanding that he be punished on the spot. Neither the motorman nor the conductor was to be seen. The motor- man, after running back to flag a car coming from the lake, fled across the fields, fearing violence, and after in- forming the division superintendent’s of- fice at the De Baliviere sheds of the accident, he surrendered to a policeman and was taken to the Twelfth District station in Forest Park. Ambulances were sent on police or- ders, and the injured were taken to the Jewish Hospital, the City Hospital and

St. John’s. The only man taken to St. Like’s was EHisman, who died soon after his arrival there. He was carried in a automobile, as were several of the less injured persons, the owners of machines giving them voluntarily for use as am- bulances. George Laurent, whose home at 672 Vernon avenue is the nearest house to the scene of the wreck, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter Monday that he sus- pected two negroes, whom he saw stand- ing near the overturned car as he ap- proached it, of having caused the wreck by placing an obstruction on the track. “There are no negroes living in the neighborhood,”’ said he, ‘‘and if the ne- groes had been passengers on the car, their appearance did not show lk, and no one else got out of the car without assistance. “I cannot account for the negroes’ presence there, except on the theory that they caused the wreck, for the pur- pose of looting the passengers. I saw one of them a few minutes later pick- ing up women’s handbags and other ar- ticles which had dropped outside the ear, had words with him and struck him. He ran away. I heard that a ne- gro was arrested on a charge of loot- ing, but I did not learn whether he was the one I had seen. “I was just getting ready to go to bed, at 10 o’clock last night, when I heard the car go tearing by the house. My wife said: ‘That car’s running aw- fully fast; it'll go off the track.’ Just | then we heard the crash. “T ran out of the house just as I was. my feet bare, and saw the car lying on its side. It was an open summer car, Victims Pinioned in Debris. “The people were so tangled up with each other that no one, even those who had not been hurt, was able to get out until I had helped a few from the top of the pile. “While the car was, running much faster than was safe, I am not sure that it was derailed by its speed, for we have been used to seeing cars take that curve at high speed, and there never has been a derailment there.” John Berlo, 674 Vernon avenue, be- lieves the derailment was caused by the car’s speed. “It sounded to me,” he said, “as if it was running 40 to 60 miles an hour, and it did not surprise me when I heard the crash and found it had gone off the track.”’ SWELL CLOTHES!

She died in spite of their efforts, in the clubhouse of the Creve Coeur Yacht Club at 11 o'clock Sunday night. Dr. Rolla Bracy, Coroner of St. Luis: County, who came soon after the wo-: 28 ied, was the first physician to the lake. The workers tried in ah to\summon a physician by tele- ‘phone, but could find only one, who, according to persons on the ground, said that it would be useless for him to come, as the woman doubtless would die before be arrived. They finally called Dr. Bracy, and he started for the lake, but was delayed by the wreck near . Delmar Garden, where hig services were required. Pappas and his wife lived at 112 South Sixth street. Money Order Identifies Them. Identification was made Monday by the Post-Dispatch through a money or- der receipt found in Pappas’ pocket. It showed that he sent a .money or- der for $19.6 Saturday to Nicholas Pappasteimetis of Salonica, Turkey. It is supposed that the money was sent to his father or brother, and that the longer name is a full form which was shortened to Pappas after his arrival in the United States. Pappas and his wife took a boat at @ p. m. Sunday. The woman’s dark complexion and bright costume, almost like that of a gypsy, attracted general attention at the pier. She wore a tan- colored linen costume, with numerous ribboned ornaments. Rises and Boat Overturns, They rowed around for fifteen minutes, then Pappas got up in the boat to take off his coat. The bwat overturned, and man and wife were thrown into the water. The water is 6% feet deep at the place and. for some ~ distance around. | W. F. Stewart, former commodore of the Creve Couer Yacht Club, was the * firdt to see them struggling. He hurried to theni in a boat, put neither arose after he reached the place where they had sunk. Stewart dived and brought.up the body of Mrs. Pappas, still alive. William Roberts and Harry Frazer soon arrived in boats, and began diving for the man’s body, which they brought up. , ‘ _ TdAfe Wanes as Men Work. — As there was no sign of life in the Man’s body, the men gave all their attention to the woman, who was breathing faintly, and whose heart and pulse showed signs of life.

Jurteen Letters, $56 and Key to Depositories Found on the Prisoner. CAUGHT IN WEST END Authorities Believe That He Is One of Organized Gang. Martin Voorhees, who came to grief through an ll-year-old girl Nemesis, confessed to the police of the Central District holdover Monday that he un- locked a mailbox at Goodfellow avenue and the Suburban tracks Sunday even- ing, and rifled it of 14 letters contain- ‘ng $56. He declared this was his first of- ense, that he found the key in the treet and succumbed to a sudden temp- tation to use it. The police believe that he is attempt- ‘ng to cleak confederates and conceal evidence, and that he is a professional mail-box robber. The address which he gave when arrested, 2916 Olive street, has been found to be fictitious. Child Sees Man at Work. Laura Parker, daughter of J. C. Park- er of 6670 Cabanne avenue, saw the man at the mail box in front of the Good- fellow Pharmacy at Goodfellow avenue and the Suburban tracks Sunday even- ‘ing. She was going to that drug store fer ice cream soda. “When I noticed the man, he had the meil box lock in his hand and was just snapping it on the staple again,’”’ said Miss Parker. “I saw him put something in his pocket thet looked like letters, so I went straight into the drug store and told Mr. Noll, the owner of the store.”’ When the child told him: about it, Mr. Noll went out and at that mo- ment James ‘Twombley, a private watchman, stepped off a car. Mr. Noll pointed to the man who aroused the girl’s suspicion and Twombley ar- rested him and took him to the Twelfth District Police Station. There a bunch of 14 letters addressed to dif- ferent persons was found in his pock- ets. He had $56 in money. As the prisoner sat in the Police Station, the officers noticed that he held two of his fingers closely to- gether. The police opened them and the mail box key dropped out.

Is equally famed as statesman, litterateur, racon- teur and Defender of the Roosevelt Faith. Can see no good outside of the White House. Selected himself as tem- porary chairman of the Roosevelt Na- tional Convention. Didn't land because the “‘reactionaries’’ had to be placated. Took his medicine with a grimace, but got a promise thut he could unload one of his justly famed speeches in sec- onding the nomination of the choice (7) of the delegates.

The month of May just closed was a record breaker for that month for the entire thirty years of the existence of the Post-Dispatch, in circulation, In cir- culation revenue and in volume of ad- vertising. The figures: Average circulation of the Post- Dis- patch every day during the— Month of May, 1907, 164,930. Month of May, 1908, 176,064. Total columns of advertising: Month of May, 1907, 3156. Month of May, 1908, 3287. Why? Because the Post-Dispatch has more actual bona fide paid circulation in the City of St. Louls and its suburbs than all the other English dailies in the same field combined! It is the Home paper of St. Louis. The only paper in many homes. The one paper in every home.

~ — in “San Toy.” . full; POLICE NT © TOY? MURDERS ~— JORNNY YOUNG! He Hasn't a — fie His Life as Li, the “Comic” Chink. AND THAT’S NO LI But Others Have Pretty Songs and This Helps Out a Little Bit. — — — emncholy tragedy of the slaughter of “Johnny” Young in musical com- edy, it's on view out at Delmar Garden this week. ‘“‘San Toy’ does it with all the ruthlessness of a Chinese Highbin- der—the poor chap hasn’t a funny line Or situation from start to finish. Talk about the Yellow Peril and the White Man's Burden—the hapless Mr. Young certainly faces the one and bears the other in this Celestial offering! It’s really a work of art, the way the l- brettists create an alleged comic role and then studiously eliminate all possi- bility of laughter from that role. It’s almost unlawful, indeed, since they set Comedian Young the task of obtaining money under false pretenses. But he goes at it manfully, doing the best he can to amuse the people who have paid to be amused . And that’s one of the acutest phases of the tragedy. It Really Is Pathetic. For Johnny Young can be really funny if he gets half a chance, and a St. Louls audience is always willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s simply impossible for him to accom- g you want to see the sad and sol- _ plish anything against tho cataclysmic stupidity of the role of Li, the Chink who's supposed to be the funniest thing It’s enough to bring tears to your eyes to see him try—but there! why dwell upon the lugubrious? If there’s still an ‘‘open door” in China the futile Li should be hustled home- ' ward through that open door quick enough to snap his queue off. And then the door should be closed. But There Are Good Songs. Duliness of lines and situations pre- vails all through “San Toy,“ but there are some pretty songs, some belonging properly to the work and others merci- interpolated, and these somewhat ascuaged tie sufferings of the audience ‘that assembled at Delmar last night. Mary Quivé,~is0king very sweet and “butterbally” in the title role, wearing first a boy’s garb and then a very be- coming Chinese court gown, sang tune- fully, especially in “Tt’s Nice to Be a Boy Sometimes,”” and “The Moon;” Alice Hills, appearing for the first time this season, made a big hit with ‘Tell Me, Will My Dreams Come True,”’ some flowers going to her across the foot- lights at the close; Basso Poppen’s mas- sive voice was heard to good advantage .in “The Turnkey’s Song,’’ and Tenor Hawkins scored strongly with “Tommy | Atkins,” The chorus sang nicely, too. But “San Toy” ftself is, perhaps, the least. entertaining offering ever made by the Delmar company. There’s no get- ting away from this truth, unless you shut eyes and ears alike to it. Scenical- ly, the production is pleasing, and the Delmar people in the cast improve their opportunities to the utmost—the trouble fs with the makers, not the producers, of the play. THE IMPORTANCE OF NEXT-TO-THE-SKIN-DRESS. In Summer it is the seeming trifles that contribute most to personal com- fort and bodily ease. While,’ of course, @ man should wear thin suits and avoid high collars and stiffly starched shirts, true comfort is only gained by dressing

Je \pensibly next to the skin. ‘will appreciate, .“B.V.D." Five years ago the notion of wearing sleeveless undershirts and knee-length drawers. would have -been received by the av e man with incredulity and, perhaps, jeers. It is only lately that most men have grown to know the coolness and cleanli- ness of short underwear, its pleasant freedom and looseness and the fact that it magnifies comfort by minimizing per- spiration. Another important advantage of knee- length drawers, which he of tidy habits is that they do net “lump” around the ankle as do full- length garments when low shoes are worn. Mofeover knee-length drawers cannot show the fabric through the @ocks, a disagreeable drawback of old- fashioned underwear. Bleeveless undershirts and knee-length @rawers should always be loose-fitting. The best-known short undergarments are called “B.V.D."" This has become @ national name for the finest “athletic underwear” produced. It is easy to assure yourself that you are getting what you pay for by insist- ing that your dealer show you the mark on every abbreviated undergarment that you buy.

The Alton Board of Education will meet Tuesday night in special ses- sion, to consider charges made against Prof, Carl Watson, teacher of math- ematics in the Alton High School, by Wilmot Black, a student, son of H. L. Black, general manager of the Hap- g00d Plow Co., and one of the wealth- fest and most ihfluential men in Al- ton. The charge is one of discrimination againstWilmot Black in the matter of grades, and is based on the fact that the young man’s marks in mathemat- ics were not as favorable as in his other studies, or as high as he thourht they ought to be. Wilmot Black was editor of the Piasa Quill, a High School publica- tion, whei a criticism of the baseball team, of which Prof. Watson ig coach, appeared in a recent number. He said Monday that his poor grades commenced 10 appear after the pub- lication of this article, which he ad- mits that he wrote. The criticism was, in substance, that the baseball team was not as good as in past seasons, and that the fault wag that of “a lot of knockers.” He says he did not mean to imply that Prof. Wat- son was to blame, but that the pro-

Prof. Watson said Monday that he was satisfied he would be able ‘to con- vince the Board that he showed no discrimination in the matter of grades, and that he marked young Black and all the other students as high as their work justified.

THE HISTORY OF A MONTH! The month of May just closed was a record breaker for that month for the entire thirty years of the existence of the Post-Dispatch, in circulation, in cir- culation revenue and in volume of ad- vertising. The figures: Average circulation of the Post-Dis- patch every day during the— Month of May, 1907, 164,930. Month of May, 1908, 176,064. Total columns of advertising: Month of May, 1907, 3156. Month of May, 1908, 3237. Why? Because the Past-Dispatch has more} actual bona fide paid circulation in the City of St. Louis and its suburbs than ail the other English dailies in the same field combined!

We Pay $2.50 We could buy beans as low as 30 cents per bushel, yet we pay $2.50 for ours, We buy ours in Michigan, for there a —* soil, rich in nitrogen, grows the best beans tha we know. Our buyers select the choicest part of the crop, All the beans that we buy are picked over by hand, so that we get only the whitest, the plump- est, the fullest grown. That is why we pay $2.50. You can’t get such beans—not at one store in twenty. That is one reason why home beans are never so good as Van Camp’s, an(amp’s PORK»? BEANS We Pay $3.45 We could buy tomato juice for 75¢ per barrel. Yet we pay $3.45 for just the ripe tomatoes used .. in a barrel of ours. Some tomato sauce is made from tomatoes picked green, and ripened in shipment. But the sauce is fat. Some is made from scraps of a canning factory —the skins and the cuttings. But the sauce is uot rich, Ours is made from full-ripe tomatoes, grown close to our kitchens, and ripened on the vines. We pick them just at the time when the juice reaches perfection. We could buy catsup, ready-made, for exactly one-fifth what ours costs to make. But that super- lative zest which you get in Van Camp’s would be lacking. It takes too long. Then, after all your “the fest is nothing like Van Camp’s. Not — you dor know, but you lack the facilities. And you need more hea Beans, more than anything else, need to be factory cooked. It is not merely a question of having them palatable. It is the vital need of making them digestible. You can’t break down the fibre of beans without a terrific heat. This is how we do it: After boiling our beans in two waters we bake them. We bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the ‘pork all together. Thus we get our delicious blend Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees, and the beans are baked 90 minutes. They are baked in live steam—not in dry heat. That is why they don’t scorch. In an oven heated to boiling point— 212 degrees—it would take you six hours to do what we do in those 90 minutes. When we are done, the beans are so mealy that they mash like potatoes. They are thoroughly digestible, for that fierce heat has broken the fibredown. Yet tt beans are whole, and you Van Camp’ flavor which —— an Camp's, brown, but the deans in the center are The heat of your oven is insufficient.

On the face of the situation Mr. Taft enjoys a commanding lead and is assured of the nomina- tion on the first ballot. But “there’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip,” and no candidate ig sure of the prize until it is his by official notice. _In 1860 Seward’s friends went to Chicago per- fectly sure that he would be the nominee. He had Chase to reckon with but Chase was never a great menace to the New Yorker. That droll country lawer of Illinois had been “mentioned,” but the Eastern men did not take him seriously, although they were willing to think of him for the second place if he was big enough. :The result Was totally unexpected except to two or three shrewd Illinois politicians who played Lincoln’s game with consummate skill. ) _ In 1876 Blaine, the most conspicuous candidate was defeated by a combination of circumstances some of which arose just before and during the convention sessions. In 1880 the Grant men went into convention more confident than the Taft men of today. But the third term scheme, and the hopes of all the other candidates went to naught before a cleverly turned and eloquent speech from Garfield and a noisy man in the gallery. In 1884 the Blaine arrangements worked smoothly and he won the prize, but in 1888 it was again an incalcu- Jable problem; chance, cunning work and fatigue of the delegates rather than any original strength gave Harrison the nomination. In 1892 Mr. Harri- gon was nominated, but notwithstanding the ad- vantage he enjoyed as boss of the national civil service, the result was by no means a foregone co@@iusion. In 1896 Mark Hanna’s genius made M@®nley’s nomination certain before the dele- gape assembled, and in 1900 and 1904 everything “was cut and dried. These three conventions are exceptions, and ‘probably 1896 would have been pretty much a free for all had it not been for Hanna’s ex- eeptional aptitude for the special work needed The rule is, a stiff fight with the: chances in favor of a dark horse. The event in 1908 is just as uncertain as that of any Republican convention in the past. >. rw —— Dinity sorts better with justice and common “gense than with 7 cents a line. . ha, Le aie ~ i ae PENNY POSTAGE TO GREAT BRITAIN. Becoming operative Oct. 1, 1908 the “penny postage’ agreement between this country and ‘Great Britain will enable the people of the two Mations to exchange letters at the rate of two gents per ounce or less than an ounce. ~ An English penny is worth two cents of Amer- sfean money. Hence the epithet which is imported ' from London, “penny postage.” By this arrangement there is_ no difference be- ' tween domestic rates and those which apply to ' Jetters to England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. _A letter weighing not more than one ounce will “need a two-cent stamp to carry it to London, . Edinburgh or Dublin, the same as to Clayton, St. ; Louis County. 3 ' Tt is another step forward. Anything which f ’ facilitates communication reduces the distance ’ between minds, and the closer minds draw to- ‘gether the better they will understand one another. Cashier Montgomery ‘of f the Allegheny National . Bank who ran short $1,250,000 is described as an ‘all around sport, confirmed bachelor and round- er.” Confirmed bachelors may make good cash- ‘fers, but how did it happen that the directors al- ‘lowed an all around sport and rounder in the , cage? * * > * — iii, —3— ww” SIR REDVERS BULLER AND MARY ANN. The late Sir Redvers Buller was not a great General, but his views on army organization were characterized hy a shrewd gvod sense and insight. He believed in having a godd army, but, since good armies were expensive, Parliament ought “Mot to haggle over the price. He believed in bright, conspicuous uniforms, no matter what the cost. Being asked why, he replied: “Because }@ showy uniform attracts Mary Ann, the nurse- maid, who makes Tommy Atkins join the army. Tm plain uniforms, you would find recruiting a ‘harder job than ever.” Did not Sir Redvers Buller touch the nerve of pemiteriom with that homely fact? The fascina- ton of war consists in pomp and circumstances, the beating ci drums, the hurrying squadrons of cavalry, the screaming of shells as they swing + through the air, the bugle sounds when the charge * 44s ordered, all of which, terrible end tragic as it 4s, ts yet irrelevant “flubdub” compared with the {| ¥eal object’ which is to kill the enemy or starve him out. The uniform is, as Sir Redvers says, rd a bait. it excites Mary Ann, and the youth who ‘Wants to make an impression goes off and enlists + @o that he can impress her to the point of cooing and perhaps of marriage. Then he becomes excit- by tales of heroism and promo:ton, dare-devil and Victoria and congressional medals. men of al! ages and walks of life are in- by the uproar, the color, the publicity Sree wes a “ting ee $ wee PM. Ht MR eae Pa pre Ree oF: & a a — oo And it is probable that modern tactics which tend to reduce this element of color and noise will do much to deprive militarism of its hold upon the popular imagination. Anyhow, Sir Redvers Buller taught a great truth in his fable of Mary Ann and Tommy Atkins. ‘rT, = i i A The Union Light and Power Co’s. theoretical reductions of price with actual increase, recalls the story of the Scotch girl. When the young man began to talk about love, she brought him up with a round turn by asking whether he was talking about love in the abstract or love in the concrete. a he vw SAVE: THE BABIES. The arrival of the summer heat marks the beginning of the sufferings of the invalids and the little children of the tenement districts. They cannot, like the more fortunate members of the community, seek the cool and refreshing air of the mountain and sea shore, nor can they even go to the parks and suburbs. They must swelter in small rooms and narrow streets. To these dwellers in the swelter of the town, ice is a necessary of life. To the babies pure milk is life. But many invalids are too poor to buy ice. Many parents of tenement babies cannot afford to buy either ice or milk. Many who can buy milk cannot obtain pure r-ilk unless it is specially provided for them. And the provision of pure milk, either free or at cost and free ice for the sick and the children who cannot obtain it, is the gracious task of the readers of the Post- Dispatch. For years the Post-Dispatch and its readers have co-operated with the Pure Milk Commission in its life-saving task. They have supplied the money for the distribution of free ice by the King’s Daughters. The Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund has been a boon to thousands. The time has come to start its good work this year. What will you give to the fund? What will you do to save the lives of unfortunate children and of the Sick poor? The fund should meet all demands of the summer season. itt —— nate | _— a. ae Boiler tubes this time; a few years ago it was blow hole armor. How many of our guarantees of peace are filled with these satanic contrivances of greed and fraud? i be — The Coroner’s inquest should bring out the es- sential facts of the accident Sunday night on the Creve Coeur line. But the statements of pas- sengers and others are platn enough to authorize the opinion that somebody was to blame. It is claimed that the car was going at a high rate of speed when it struck the curve; that the motorman was a green hand on that line and did not knor the road; that the lights on the car were not sufficient to enable the motorman to see what was ahcad of him. Enough appears on the surface to warrant a demand for a most rigid investigation. When trolley cars capable of very high speed are run on a crooked road, loaded with passengers, it is the duty of the company to take special precau- tions to prevent accident. Nothing can excuse negligence in exceptional circumstances, which call for exceptional care. Responsibility should be enforced at every point. As & +A ee. ae The Taft combination ef the Big Stick and the Strong Arm seems invincible. ine & A = we RADICAL PATERNALISM. In the published forecast of the Republican platform is a plank favoring the Federal regula- tion of corporations engaged in interstate com- merce and having the means to hecome monopo- lies. In short, the Republicans want the Gov- ernmerrt to legalize and supervise great industrial and commercial monopolies. If there were a real Democratic opposition, led by a great Pemocrat not bound up in the pater- nalistic and socialistic tendencies of the Repub- lican administration, the long leap from Democ- racy to bureaucracy would offer a winning issue. Monopoly is obnoxious in any form. It is dangerous under any guise. If we are to develop | of the common people. THE CREVE COEUR ACCIDENT. 4 LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Yo Un teaiiis ar Ot ne ee While making a crusade against the milkman, why not try and have the bread wagon driver arrested for Gisturbing the peace. When-he comes at 8 or 4 o’clock in the morning he uses very little sense, as he jumps off the wagon, raises the lid on the bread box, dumps his basket of bread in the box which sounds like thunder, and slams the lid down, and then hollers “Get up!’ and drives away. DICKSON STREET VICTIM. \ An Uncleansed Alley. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. Can any person tell me if there is such a thing as a Health Department in St. Louis? If so, I have failed to find it. I have tried several times to call its attention to the condition of the alley between Stoddard street and Gamble street, but I suppose it is too busy to look after a public thoroughfare like that. I have been living in that vicinity for three years and am positive that alley has never been cleaned. A KICKER. The Three Rs. To the Zditor of the Post-Dispatch, The Three Rs originated over a century ago, in the expression of a witty Irish pedagogue—‘‘Readin’, Ritin’ and ’Rithmetic.” It met its Waterloo in the Blaine-Cleveland campaign, when the Rev. Dr. Burchard adapted it to the ‘‘Rum, Romanism and Re- bellion.”” Now comes Taft’s Memorial crocodile tears at Grant’s tomb—the Three Bs: ‘‘Booze, Boozer and Boozist.”’ J. H. PEARSON, 4468 Easton avenue, Table Manners of St. Louis To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I will wager that of each 100 men that go to lunch at the best restaurants in this city not twenty will take his seat quietly, take fhe napkin, place it in his lap, take the menu card, read it, replace it on the ta- ble and not rest his elbows and arms on the table. A few of the number will rattle the knives and forks or drum on the table. A smaller number will clear the throat loudly and spit on the floor. Still another will hum or whistle softly, with arms stretched across the table, or elbows on table, supporting the chin in their hands. Remember, this is not applied to the levee district, but the highest-priced restaurants. Who will accept the wager? BOB B. Men. Forest Park vs. Automobiles. To the Editor of the lost-Dispatch. The discussion in reference to the use of this park seems to be narrowed down to the question of wheth- er it shall be closed to the great mass of the people of our city or shall the owners of a few automobiles be permitted to divert it from the: purpose for which it was intended and paid for by the people. It seems to me that the question can be solved by restricting its use by automobiles to certain roadways therein and setting apart certain portions for the use of picnics, etc. This would be an arrangement which ought to be satisfactory to all. The fellow who mortgages his home to buy an automobile is devoid of sufficient horse sense to be allowed to roam at will over our pleasure resorts, and is usually oblivious to the rights I can remember the time when our children could roam at will over Forest Park, ‘ FREEMAN WRIGHT, : 2808 Euclid avenue. Barnes College. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Barnes Medical College has hundreds of grad- uates who are ethical practitioners in all parts of the United States and some in foreign countries. As the patriot loves his country, so we love our alma mater, and will fight the enemy, the egotistical State Board of Medical bigots, to the last ditch. It appears very evident that its action was prompted by base mo- tives, prejudice and jealousy. It is well known that two of its members belong to the faculties of colleges that are antagonistic to Barnes. There ought to be a law passed that no one connected with a college of medicine could be a member of the State Board. Let the Barnes students stand on their merits before the Board. Why should a set of M. D.’s who claim to be ethical deny them their rights? ‘‘Equal justice to all and special privileges to none.” J. D. HAYWARD, M. D. The Southern View of Grant. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read the letter written by Justitia in your issue of the 24 inst., and as I learned the correct version of Grant's resignation from the army in 1854, from the very officer to whom Grant tendered his resignation, I am therefcre fully conversant with all the facts con- nected with the episode of Grant's life at that time. But Mr. Editor, Gen. Grant’s brilllant career in the Civil War certainly drove into utter oblivion of the past any weakness of this great General and most magnanimous foe the South had to contend with, His genvrcus treatment of Gen. Lee and his army at the surrender at Appamatox Courthouse in Virginia must ever remain bright and green in the hearts of all true and patriotic Southern soldiers and women of the Southland. I bel'eve Secretary Taft was very unwise in his speech on Deccration Day, but Secretary Taft's great abilities otherwise should cause us to forget the Secretary’s error of the head and not of the heart. ROB ROY McGREGOR. A DANGEROUS TRUST. From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. An Arkansas barkeep died the other drinking whisky and eating a banana. day after The Blue- as a free people and are to assure equal opportun- ‘Eyed Deckhand says he always did consider banan- ity to all we must crush, not encourage and legal- ize, monopoly in industry and trade. We must have government by law and courts, not a gov- ernment by monopoly-regulating commissions. But what chance of effective opposition to these radical paternalistic measures is there in the as a very dangerous fruit. WHO WAS DRUNK? From the New York Evening Post. Senatorial indignation has run high over the at- tempt to prevent “the most august assembly on this earth’? from voting on the currency bill. Both filt- Democratic party if it is to be led by a man in}buster and filibusterers have been denounced without sympathy with them and hand in glove with their Republican author and promoter? Why not nominate Taft by acclamation and, if the country can’t get along without him, ar- range to have him run the government by wire- less from Africa? We could have the noise, too, for that can be sent by steamship once a week. iene, a i — WHEN WILL HE RETIRE? “I made religious speeches six years before I began to talk politics,” said Mr. Bryan the other day, “and I expect to make them for Many years after I am out of politics.’ How is this? Just after his defeat in 1896 Mr. Bryan announced that he propose@to remain in politics as long as he lived. Has he changed his mind? Is he going to take orders? If so, when? Several politicians and others would like to know when. Events will decide for him, as for all other men. He may retire, or he may be retired, who knows? However, although he may be a failure as a politician nobody will go to sleep when he enters the pulpit. - — v We have Mr. Rockefeller’s word for it that Cardinal Logue is a nice man, and we have Car- dinal Logue’s word that Mr. Rockefeller is an- other. These points being settled we can all now ae ee ee mincing language. One Democratic Senator was quoted as saying: “This has been the most disgust- ing proeceding I ever witnessed in the Senate.” In the cloakrooms and hotels epithets were still more freely applied. ‘‘Think of it! The Senate of the United States held up by @ crazy man, a drunken man, and a blind man!” A GIANT WOODPILE. From the New York World The Census Bureau reports that 3,962,662 cords of wood were used in the United States last year in the manufacture of paper pulp. On the site of Madison Square Garden this would make a woodpile more than a mile high. So long as this means a draft upon a limited and unreplenished supply it is most regret- table. But the country could without alarm see twice or thrice as great a yearly use of pulp if wood were treated like other crops, to be raised, used and re- planted. Nor is the cropping period hopelessly long, now that fast-growing soft woods are coming into greater use. PROSPERITY IS RETURNING. From the Indianapolis Star. The St. Louis members of the National Prosperity Association, otherwise known as the Sunshine Socie- ty. have reason to rejoice over the favorable showing made in business circles of that city so soon after the system of organized “boosting’’ was begun. The so- ciety originated In St. Louis and naturally its found- ers feel that the local improvement in business is moi in some measure at least, to their efforts. No @oubt they are right. Concerted action on the part of the business men of any community looking to the encouragement of commercial and industrial ac- tivity cannot fall to have a beneficial effect, more es- eapety Danis maiey, ame Oar ca H -POST-DISPATCH'S | ‘DE SIL WHY GO 70 AFRICA? 2 * oe. . 3 7s b We — a t ry’ J * ee * —— —— e Be mA a ey Bae ‘ ee io * — * 5 % 3 - Oe a — ig Le Ke. a. ; ; ’ rs web: * — ne TO AFRICA AFTER ELEPHANTS JUNE 8.

The whole country has been quick to assail a Boston critic who dared to say that as a national sport the game of base ball is not without a few faults. Yet there are passages in his _ in- dictment which a@ more dispassionate review must admit to be true. For in- stance, he says that we seat our spec- tators worse than any of the civilized nation@ have seated their crowds. “The grandstand,” he poizts out, “is a barn- like shed of the rudest possible con- struction, while the pavi'ions and the bleachers are inferior to the accomo- dations provided for witnessing a Fill- pino cock fight.’’ Rail as We will, there is gound criti- cism in this. How many of us have not already felt what this tian says when we looked out on the bleachers? Is there really any reason why the bleachers should be uncovered, that looking upon the national game from the economic point of view should involve sunburn and thunder showers? We can’t think of any. To be sure, there is something of the Spartan in the bleacherite, and he has not whim- pered; but when he could be protected from the sun and the storm with a roof costing practically nothing, we don’t see why he isn’t? Evidently base ball, like everything else in this country, has not achieved its gigantic proportions without some evils, and would be the better for re- form. If Mr. Roosevelt finds any bigger game in Africa than he has been hunting of late in his own country, he will have to get a good bit off the beaten track. If Bill Taft {ts to run against Bill Bryan, there will be a world of babies named Bill in this year of grace.

STMISEETSCACBODME RBADERS MAGAZINE HUN it is often possible to follow a bear's trail in the snow; having come upon it either by chance or hard hunting, or else having found where it leads from some carcass on which the beast has been feeding. In the pur- suit One must exercise great caution, as at such times the hunter is easily seen a long way off, and game is always especially watchful for any foe that may follow its trail. Camped in the Snow. Once I killed a grisly in this manner. . | OUT In the late fall or early spring - It was early in the fall, but snow day on the ground, while the gray weather boded a storm. My camp was in a bleak, wind-swept valley, high among the mountains which form the divide between the head-waters of the Salmon and Clarke’s Fork of the Columbia. All night I had lain in my buffalo-bag, un- der the lea of a windbreak of branches, in the clump of fir-trees, where I had halted the preceding evening. At my feet ran a rapid mountain torrfent,its bed choked with ice-covered rocks; I had been lulled to sleep by the stream's splashing murmur, and the loud moan- ing of the wind along the naked cliffs. At dawn I rose and shook myself free of the buffalo robe, coated with hoar- frost. The ashes of the fire were life- less; In the dim morning the air was bitter cold. I did nut linger a moment, but snatched up my rifle, pulled on my fur cap and gloves, and strode off up a side ravine; as I walked I ate some mouthfuls of venison, left over from supper. Two hours of toll up the steep moun- tain brought me to the top of a spur. The sun had risen, but was hidden be- hind a bank of sullen clouds. On the divide I halted, and gazed owt over a vast landscape, incenceivably wild and dismal, Around me towered the stu- pendous mountain masses which make up the backbone of the Rockies. From my feet, as far as I could see, stretched @ rugged and barren chaos of ridges and detached rock masses. Behind me, far below, the stream wound like a sil- ver ribbon, fringed with dark conifers and the changing, dying foliage of pop- lar and quaking aspen. In front the bottoms of the valleys were filled with the somber evergreen forest dotted here and there with black, ~« ice-skimmed tarns; and the dark spruces clustered also in the higher gorges, and were scattered thinly along the mountain sides. The snow which hed fallen lay in drifts and streaks, while, where the wind had scope it was blown off, and the ground left bare. The Grisly’s Trail. _#or two hours I walked onwards @cross the ridges and. valleys. Then among some scattered spruces, where the snow lay to the depth of half a foot, I suddenly came on the fresh broad trail of a gristy. The brute was evidently roaming restlessly about in search of a winter den, but willing, in passing, to pick up any food that lay handy. At oace I took the trail, trav- eling above and to one side, and keep- ing a sharp lookout ahead. The bear Was going across wind, and this made my task easy. I walked rapidly, though cautiously; and it was only in crossing large patches of bare ground that I had to fear making a noise. Elsewhere the snow muffled my footsteps, and made the trail so plain that I scarcely had to waste a glance upon it, bending My eyes always to the front. At last, peering cautiously over a ridge crowned with broken rocks, I saw my quarry, a big, burly bear, with sil- vered fur. He had halted on an open hiliside, and was busily digging up the caches of some rock gophers or squir- rels. Hie seemed absorbed in his work, @nd the stalk was easy. Slipping quiet- ly back, I ran towards the end of the Spur and in ten minutes struck a ravine, of which one branch ran past within 70 yards of where the bear was working. In this ravine was a rather close growth of stunted evergreens, af- fording good cover, although in one or two places I had to lie down and crawl through the snow. When I reached the point for which I was aiming, the bear had just finished rooting, and was @tarting off. A slight whistle brought him te a standstill, and I drew a bead behind his shoulder, and low down, resting the rifle across the crooked branch of a dwarf spruce. At the crack he ran off at speed, making no sound, Dut the thick spatter of blood splashes, showing clear on the white snow, be- trayed the mortal nature of the wound. For some minutes 1 followed the trail; and then, topping a ridge, I saw the @ark bulk lying motionless in a snow Griftt at the foot of a low rock-wall, Gown which he had tumbled.

The President in Hunting Garb. the carcass of a moose which lay some five miles from the Uttle open glade in which my tent was pitched, and I made up my mind to try to get a shot at it that afternoon. I stayed in camp till about 3 o'clock, lying lazily back on the bed of sweet-smelling evergreen boughs, watching the pack ponies as they stood under the pines on the edge of the open, stamping now and then, and switching their tails. The air was still, the sky a glorious biye; at that hour in the afternoon even the Sep- tember sun was hot. The smoke from the smoldering logs of the camp fire curled thinly upwards. Little chip- munks scuttled out from their hetes to the packs, which lay in a heap on the ground, and then scuttled madly back again. A couple of drab-colored whisky-jacks, with bold mien and fear- less bright eyes, hopped and fluttered round, picking up the scraps, and utte- ing an extraordinary variety of notes, mostly discordant; so tame were they that one of them lit on my outstretched arm as I half dozed, basking in the sunshine. Bruin at Supper. When the shadows began to lengthen I shouldered my rifle and plunged into the woods. At first my route lay along a mountain side; then for half a mile over a windfall, the dead timber piled about In crazy confusion. After that I went up the bottom of a valley by a little brook, the ground being carpeted with a sponge of soaked moss. At the head of this brook was 4 pond covered with water-lilies; and a scramble through a rocky pass took me fnto a high, wet valley, where tho thick growth of spruce was broken by occa- sional strips of meadow. In this valley, the moose carcass lay, weil at the up- per end. In moccasined feet I trod softly through the soundless woods. Under the dark branches it was already dusk, and the air had the cool chéll of even- ing. As I neared the clump where the body lay, I walked with redoubled caution, watching and listening with strained alertness. Then I heard a twig snap; and my blood leaped, for I knew the bear was at his supper. In another moment I saw his shaggy, brown form, He was working with all his awkward giant strength, trying to bury the carcass, twisting it to one side and the other with wonderful ease. Once he got angry and suddenly gave it a tremendous cuff with his paw; in his bearing he had something half hu- morous, half devilish. I crept up with- in 40 yards; but for several minutes he wuld not keep his head still. Then something attracted his attention in the forest, and he stood motionless, look- ing towards it, broadside to me, with his forepaws planted on the carcass, This gave me my chance. I drew a very fine bead between his eye and ear, and pulled trigger. He dropped like a steer when struck with a pole-axe. ln an Ambush. If there is a good hiding-place handy it is better to lie in wait at the carcass. One day on the headwaters of the Mad- ison, I found that a bear was coming to an elk I had shot some days before; and I at once determined to ambush ‘the beast when he came back that evening. The carcass lay in the middle of a valley a quarter of a mile broad. The bottom of this valley was covered by an open forest of tall pines; a thick jungle of smaller evergreens marked where the mountains rose on either hand. There were a number of large rocks scattered here and there, one, of very convenient shape, being only some seventy or efghty yards from the carcass, Up this I clambered. It hid me perfectly, and on its top Was a car. pet of soft pine needles, on which I could lie at my ease. Hour after hour passed by. A little black woodpecker with a yellow crest ran nimbly up and Gown the tree-trunks for some time and then flitted away with a party of chickadees and nut- hatches. Occasionally a Clarke's crow Seared about overhead or clung fp any ing end of a pine pee? F

The sense of sadness and loneliness, the melancholy of the wilderness; came over me like a spell. Every slight noise made my pulses throb as I lay motronless on the rock, gazing intently into the gathering gloom. I began to fear tna. .. woulda grow too dark to shoot before the grisly came, Squealed When Hit. Suddenly and without warning, the great bear stepped out of the bushes and trod across the pine needles with such swift and silent gootsteps that its bulk seemed unreal. It was very cau- tious, continually halting to peer around; and once it stood up on its hid legs and looked long down the val- ley towards the red west. As it reached the carcass I put a bullet between its shoulders. It rolled over, while the woods resounded with its savage roar- ing. Immediately it struggled to its feet and staggered off; and fell again to the next shot, squailing and yelling. Twice this was repeated; the brute be- ing one of those bears which greet ev- ery wound with a great outcry, and sometimes seem to lose their feet when hit—although they will occasionally fight as savagely ag their more silent breth- ren. In this case the wounds were mor- tal, and the bear dit@ before reaching the edge of the thicket. I spent much of the fall of 1889 hunting on the headwaters of the Sal- mon and Snake in Idaho, and along the Montana boundary line from the Big Hole Basin and the head of the Wisdom River to tl.e neighborhood of Red Rock Pass and to the north and west of Henry’s Lake. During the last fortnight my companion was the old mountain man, alreudy mentioned, named Griffeth or Griffin—I cannot tell which, as he was always called either “Hank” or “Griff.’”’ He was a crabbed- ly honest old fellow, and a very skill- ful hunter; but he was worn out with age and rheumatisrin, and his temper had failed even faster than his bodily strength. Hé showed me a greater va- riety of game than I had ever seen in so short a time; nor did I ever be- fore or after make so successful a hunt. But he was an exceedingly dis- agreeable companion on account of his surly, moody ways. I generally had to get up first, to kindle the fire and make ready breakfast, and he was very quarrelsome. Finally, during my ab- sence from camp one day, while not very far from Red Rock pass, he found my whisky flask, which I kept purely for emergencies, and drank all the con- tents. When I came back he was quite drunk. This was unbearable, and after some high words I left him, and struck off homeward through the woods on my own account. We had with us four pack and saddle horses; and of these I took a very intelligent and gentle little bronco mare, which possessed the in- valuable trait of always staying near camp, even when not hobbled. I was not hampered with much of an outfit, having only my buffalo sleeping-bag, a fur coat and my washing kit, with a couple of spare pairs of socks and some handkerchiefs. A frying-pan, some salt, flour, baking powder, a small chunk of salt pork and a hatchet made up a light pack, which, with the bedding, I fastened across the etock saddle by means of a rope and a spare packing cinch. My cartridges and knife were in my belt; my compass and matches, as always, in my pocket. I walked, while the little mare followed almost like a dog, often without my having to hold the Mariat which served as hal- ter. Alone in the Tangie. The country was for the most part fairly open, as I kept near the foot- hills, where glades and little prairies broke the ‘pine forest. The trees were of small size. There was no regular trail, but the course was easy to keep, and I had no trouble of any kind save on the second day. That afternoon I was following a stream which at last “eanyoned up,’ that is, sank to the bottom of a canyon-like ravine impas- sable for a horse. I started up a side valley, intending to cross frem its head coulies to those of another valley which would lead tn below the canyon. However, I got enmeshed in the tangle of winding valleys at the foot of the steep mountains, and as dusk was com- ing on I halted and camped in a little open spot by the side of a small, noisy brook, with crystal water. The place was carpeted with soft, wet, green moss, dotted red with the kinnikinnic berries, and at its edge, under the trees where the ground was dry, I threw down the bufalo bed on the mat of sweet-smelling pine needies. Making camp took but a moment. I opened the pack, tossed the bedding on a smooth spot, knee-haltered the littl» mare. dragged up a few dry logs, and then ——— — The foundation of robust health is what is allowed to enter the mouth.

strolled off, rifle on shoulder, through the frosty gloaming, to see if I could pick up a grouse for supper. For half a mile I walked quickly and silently over the pine needles, across a succession of slight ridges separated by narrow, shallow valleys. ‘The forest here was composed of lodge-pole pines, which on the ridges grew close togetiier, with tall, slender trunks, while in the valleys the growth Was more opcun.

showed me a big, grisly walking slowly off with head down. He was quartering to me, and I fired into his flank, the bullet, as I afterwards found, ranging forward and piercing one lung. At the shot he uttered a loud, moaning grunt and plunged forward at a heavy gallop, while I raced obliquely down the hill to cut him off. After going a few hun- dred feet he reached a laurel thicket, some thirty yards broad, and two or three times as long, which he did not leave. I ran up to the edge and there halted, not liking to venture into the mass of twisted, close-growing stems and glossy foliage. Moreover, as I halted, I heard him utter a peculiar, savage kind of whine from the h of the brush. Accordingly, I began skirt the edge, standing on tiptoe and gazing earnestly to see if I could not catch a glimpse of nis hide. When I was at the narrowest part of the thick- et, he suddenly left it directly opposite, and then wheeled and stood broadside to me on the hillside, a little above, He turned his head stiffly towards me; scarlet strings of froth hung from his lips; his eyes burned like embers in the gloom.

I waited un- til he came to a fallen tree, raking him as he topped it with a ball, which en- tered his chest and went through the cavity of his body, but he neither swerved nor flinched, and at the mo- ment I did not know that I had struck him.

There is not a set of infielders in the League today blocking off runs like that of the Browns.._From one corner to the other, the defensive power of the Browhs is superb. Put a pitcher in the middie that is holding the opposing team and few runs are going to get around the bases.

It was their class that beat the Ath- letics yesterday. It’ was not alone Jack Powell's gallant pitching. «ahat was only part of the defense. He seemed able to do almost as he pleased with the ball, but because Tim Hurst would not agree with him on what was a ball and what was a strike, four men got away from Powell and walked to first base.

He was opposed yesterday by a young twirler who throws the “‘spit ball.“ This young man, Schlitzer by name, was de- ceptive, too, and the Browns batted out but five safe hits off him, but because George Stone came up with a timely rap following a terrific three-base drive by Jimmy Stephens, the one run was clearly earned.

SALLEE CHOSEN FOR LAST GAME “Iron Man” McGinnity Will Be Giants’ Twirler in the Clos- ing Contest.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 8.—With the hope of getting three out of the four games from the New York Giants, Manager McCloskey of the St. Louis Cardinals will send Pitcher Sallee to the slab to- day, believing his tall young southpaw will be able to trim New York in the

June 8.—Aifred Shrubb, world’s professional champion distance who sailed from here on the Maurstania on Jan. 25, returned yester- beatings. ing taken a decided slump against the Chicago and Philadelphia teams. How- ever, he seemed to swing into his stride better in the Sunday game and is ex- cted to begin building up his mark again this week. The Cardinals have increased their patting a little during the past week, if anything, but they are still too far down in that department of the game to get anywhere near the top in the Na- tional League race. Murray is well in the lead with a mark of .291, and Mc- Closkey’s sturdy little outfielder is do- ing just about the best batting and base-running in the whole League, too. He has swiped 16 sacks since the season opened, and no one seems able to stop him. His bitting has heen heavier than~the figures show, for he has been lining the ball out for extra bases. Joe Delehanty is the second batter of the Cardinals, having .278 tabbed up to his credit at this time. As a team, the Browns are hitting much better and with a team average of .239, they are ranked up with the best hitting clubs of the American league. Williams, Ferris, Wallace and Charley Jones should all bat better than they have so far. Williams has only begun to hit the ball in anything like his usual form within the past two weeks and he undoubtedly will climb up gradually from now on and it would not be surprising to see him close to the .300 mark at the finish. The figures show that the Browns are not ag speedy as they should be on the bases. The whole team has stolen but 27 bases so far, while Jack Murray of the Cardinals has 16 all by himself, and the Cardinals as a team have 48. But the figures also show clearly one reason why the Cardinals are so far down in the race. The error col- umn will disclose the secret of many Little Joe O'Rourke hag 31 mistakes tabbed against him already this year. But they are not coming in so lively now as they were a month ago. erhe Browns stand high as a fielding club, having an average of .969, while the Cardinals have flelded but .941 so far. this season and he was the first man in the league to make an even 50. Stone made his fiftieth yesterday with it. Murray has whacked out 50 hits against the Athletics and won a game McGrath and Talbot can all beat 161 ft. with the hammer, and Horr, too, if he sticks In the circle. At a rough guess it appears that Uncle Sam ought to win every race up to the mile and possibly that, with places in the longer distances. We ought to win all of the field events except the javelin throws, counting upon Kel- ly for the broad jump. Kelly didn’t jump Saturday because of a strained leg. Rector, whose first heat in the 100 meters tied the record and was faster by a fifth of a second than the final, ought to tie the English sprinters in knots, and to add to the mistfortunes of the English team, the Swedes have developed some great long-distance run- ners during the past two years, thus cutting into England's strongest point. The American Olympic team will be selected today at a meeting of the com- mittee at the office of the chairman of the committee, James E. Sullivan, 21 Warren street. The results of the trials have shown that the American team will be a high- class aggregation this year, and it is predicted that the Olympic will be a duel between America and England, with the chances of America the better. The task of selecting the game is gi- gantic, because of the wonderful amount of talent show? tm the trials. It is predict that Recter of Virginia will be selected for the 100-meter vent, Cartwell of Pennsylvania and Robertson of the Irish-American A. A. being the other leading candidates. The men for the 100-meter hurdle will probably be Shaw, Dartmouth; Smithson, California, and Garrels, Michigan. Shephard of the Irish-American is practically a cinch for the 800-meter, with other leading candidates in Shee- han, Parsons, Jones, Lightbody, Glas- ner and Bromilow. The steeplechase is a hard race, the candidates lacking class. The 200-meter race will bring out the same men as the 100-meter event. For the #0-meter , Ha Hiliman and Charlies Ba- ng candidates. Halstead, Cornell, is leading man for the 1500-meter race, with tbhedy, Coe and Rowe co titors. e 40-meter men will come Taylor, the oe champion; Carpenter, Cornell and Allee, Princeton.

Sallee beat the Giants out in St. Louis and had little trouble in doing it, and the New Yorkers now believe he is one of the best south- paws in the League. McCloskey took his boys down to Wa- terbury, Conn., yesterday and played the Connecticut State Leggue team of that city. Joe O'Rourke was the prin- cipal attraction, for it was in that town that he played last season, and by his heavy hitting for the Waterbury team he made a reputation for himself and was pulled into the big League. Joe had a lot of friends at the game. The Cardinals won easily by a score of 9 to 3, with Stoney McGlynn pitching and caused the first two batters to go out easily, Eddie Collins popping one to ‘Hoffman and Seybold fanning.

SECURITIES ON WALL SI. UNSUPPORTED Stocks. Close Fractionally Lower in Monday’s Irregu- lar Session. NEW FORK, June 8, 10 a. m.—The opening prices of stocks this morning were fractionally higher than the clos- ing. Advances in the rails division ranged from % to %, a majority of the issues making only small fractional gains. St. Paul, with an initial ad- vance of %, was the strongest stock on the list. The Harriman Pacifics made average gains of %, while the Hill stocks moved up the same fraction. B. R. T., Canadian Pacific and New York Central were % point higher each, and Atchison, Reading and Mis- souri Pacific gained 4% each. Penn- sylvania was unchanged. The prominent industrials made small opening gains of from % to %, with Anaconda at parity. Although trading in the industrials was very dull, yet at the end of the first half hour almost all of them had shown small fractional advances. Steel pre- ferred sagged % in the opening sale, ‘| which was its only transaction in half} an hour. The Harriman Pacifics and Great Northern made small advances in the first half hour, but the other issues were about stationary. Canadian Pa- cific was very bullish, and gained 1% points. Union Pacific, Reading and St. Paul were the market leaders. There was no market for American one in London, it being a holiday ere. NEW YORK, June 8.—12:30 p. m.— On unusually light trading, price move- ments in the forenoon hours were éeb- tirely downward, Sharp recessions were made in all the prominent issues, with Union Pacific the heaviest loser. St. Paul, with a loss of 1% points, was al- most as big a sufferer as Union Pacific. Losses of 1% points each were record- ed in Chicago Northwestern, Reading and Missouri Pacific. Great Northern Chesapeake & Ohio and Southern Pa- cific sagged 1% points each, and North- ern Pacific and Pennsylvania 1 each. Other recessions in the _ rail stocks ranged from % to %. While the industrials were not as heavy losers as the rails, nevertheless they were rather shaky. ‘Amalgamated Copper and Steel common dropped 1% each, and Republic Iron and Steel oint. Steel preferred was % lower and melting declined % point. The holiday in London affected the volume of trading to a considerable ex- tent. Sales to noon were only 229,300 shares. In the last hour of Monday’ s session a number of the leading issues ad- vanced sharply, regaining losses made early, but the list as a whole closed fractionally below their opening quo- tations,

The report gives the condition of spring wheat at June as 95 per cent of a nor- mal, as compared with 88.7 on June 1, 1907. and a 10-year average of 93.2. PLOT TO KiLL PORTUGESE ROYAL FAMILY FRUSTRATED LISBON, June 8 —The police have frustrated a great plot, hatched by the Society of the Black Cross, to blow up with bombs the members of the royal family at a religious feast, which is to be held June 18. Among the ring leaders arrested are Jose Avila, Adao Duarte and Constantine Mendes, notorious an- archists. } The bombs, which had been manufac- tured by the society, were discovered and correspondence seized shows that the society, to which Manuel Bulssa, one of the principals in the assassination of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz last February, belonged, had ciose relations with anarchists in Barcelona and Madrid.

St. Louis bankers are inclined to agree with the opinion expressed elsewhere tnat the new currency measure will in effeci Hag about an easier time money market e longer periods. Their conclusions are largely based on the fact that the Secretar) of the Treasury can issue emergency circu- lation to members of the National rrency Association upon such securities as may be approved vd the officers of the associa- tions R by the Secretary of the Treasury, including commercial paper. As the banks are now virtually satisfied that in case of necessity they can convert their commercial paper holdings into cur- rency under the provisions of the Vreelan! they are not disposed to restrict time logns and the purchase or discount of com- my paper to the former extent. fact is slowly becoming recognized here in St. Louis and it is entirely likely that from now on six months loans will not be the rarity they formerly were.

wheat is 9 large yield, . is given at cent, nat 89 cent last month. Final prices were Ke to le lower for the day. The staying powers of the longs were rather severely tested during the early pary of the session, as prices are now somewhat below their pocent purchasing price, a smalii short inter exists and trade conditions in the pit were almost at a standstill, There was scattered short covering = og ano the morning’s price range was at quite firm levels. Some bullish sentiment was causea by the extensive rains throughout the West, Southwest and Northwest, and damage re- rts from all of these regions were plienti- ul. Hitherto the best of conditions have been reported in the spring wheat territories. but this morning there were complaints of excessive moisture and many sections of the central and southwestern regions forwarded reports of poor owth and rust. The statistical news was rather bullish, the somewhat larger world’s shipments be- ing offset by a moderate decrease in the ocean passage stocks and a further liberal falling off in in the visible supply. There were also numerous foreign damage reports, par- ticularly from Russia and ungary, but the domestic ‘situation remained dull, with cash wheat a siow sale at most markets, and with little doing 6 aga cla in the pit. The rains cause firm tone for some time, but, despite the expected bullish of- ficial report, prices soon began to sag from the lack of consistent buying power. Trad- ing was very light, but up to near noon slight gains were still maintained. One of the factors in the weakening of the market was the official forecast of a general clear- ing up of the weather, and of lower tem- peratures, which will be good for the pre- vention of rust.

To shield their mother from identifica- tion, four children followed her cue in giving fictitious names. after she had been accused of shoplifting In an Alton store. J. H. Sternberg, proprietor of the store, learned Monday that the name given was not the correct one, and that the woman is the wife of a well-known citizen of Upper Alton. He has not de- cided whether he will prosecute. The woman and ber four children en- tered the store Saturday night. They were about to leave, when Sternberg saw the woman slip a $4 lace scarf be- tween the pages of a magazine which she carried. He asked her to aceompany him to the office. There she gave a name and the two boys and two giris told their real first names, but added the fictitious one «iven by their mother. She returned the scarf and begged Sternberg not to ar- rest her.
