Mr. Townsend on Jan. 1 last was given a permanent ‘‘vacation” at full pay. The check for his current month's salary was being made out when news of his death reached the headquarters of the road in St. Louls Thursday. The first information came in a tele- gram to Charies E. Ware, his lifelong friend. . When Mr. St. Loulsf six weeks ago, it was not known that he was dangerously ill, though he had been a sufferer from stomach trouble for several years. His ‘fliness began shortly aicer the death of his wife, who died from the shock of a trolley car accident at Asheville, N. C., five years ago. « ‘Wife Imjured in Trolley Wreck.

She died five months later. Less than a week ago Mr. Ware re- ceived a most cheerful letter from Mr. Townsend, in which he said that he and his family were comfortably in- stalled at the Huronia Beach Hotel at Port Huron. The tone of this letter and: those re- ceived recently by other St. Louis friends indicated that Mr. Townsend Whs enjoying his summer outing. No news of a turn for the worse reached §t. Louis. / Mr. Townsend, since the death of his wife, had lived at the Southern Hotel. He was active as a passenger agent til about a year ago, when frequent oat of illness interfered with his ‘work. Up to two years ago he was president of the National Association of Passenger Agents. | Dean of St. Loulg Passenger Agents. After his retirement from active * gpervice in the Misour! Pacific offices, Mr. Townsend remained in St. Louis until about the middle of May. He then went to Columbus, 0., to visit his daughter, Mrs. Amy Lindenberg. last Thursday he went to Columbus from Port Huron, Mich., where he has e Gummer cottage. Mr. Townsend was regarded as the @ean of St. Louis passenger agents. ® had a wide acquaintance among ratiroad men throughout the United States, and his friends with other failroads sent him a great deal of Dusiness on account of their personal , friendship for him, He started in the ratiroad business in 1863 as a clerk in the auditor's Office of the Bellefontaine road in ' Pennsylvania. A year later he ba- @ame a clerk.in the freight office of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad. - He began his career as a passenger ’ traffic man in 1865 when he went to the a@vertising department of the Pennsy!- - Wania Railroad.

There are several contributory causes that justify the prediction that Mr. Bryan will find the Naticnal Convention a pretty big handful to han- die. He may land the nomination for the Presidency. The Surface signs’ point that way. He may compel the accept- ance of a platform of the ‘“‘middle-of- the-road”’ sort, with a sop to the con- servative interests here and a conces- sion to the radicals there. He may finally induce Judge George Gray, an entirely different type of Dem- ocrat from himself, to accept the nom- ination for Vice-President, if he in fact succeeds in compelling his own nomina- tion for the presidency. But developments during the last & hours indicate that he has entirely over- looked the intensity of feeling between the conservative and radical elements of his party. regarding the scope and limitation of the party doctrine to be promulgated by the convention. The demands of the radicals, em- bracing the semi-Socialists, ultra-Popu- lists, labor extremists, Prohibitionists and woman suffragists, will be just as rabid and extravagant as they were at the inception of the Populist propagan- @a. Demagogues and agitators clamor- ing, for the incorporation into the party platform of the most _ iconoclastic pledges tending to encourage class dis- tinction and to throw caution to the winds of fanaticism, have already made their appearance and are proselyting among the delegates who have arrived. The propositions which Mr.* Bryan It is not at all certain that he will be able to command the strength nec- essary, although it will require but a majority of votes in the convention to do sb. His reported selection of the radical Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma, as the chairman of the Committee on Res- olutions is accepted by the conservatives to indicate his determination to ignore the protests of the conservative leaders and to pin his faith to the radicals, hop- by bringing about the nomination of( Judge Gray for the vice-presidency to \prevent such a split in the party as occurred ever the asllver issue in 1886.

Mr. O’Brien will leave for Denver tomorow and has wired Johnson headquarters here that he has been asked by Mr. Bryan to stop off for a short It is supposed by the dditeon men that Mr. Bryan wishes to talk over the vice-presidential ‘situation. ground they can imagine for the request of Mr. Bryan. counted any results from the conference, provided it. should turn out to be on that subject, by declaring that Johnson will not con- sent, under any circumstances, to be considered as available for They dis- will, it is believed, demand shall have /}& piace in the platform are these: First, anti-injunction; second, anti- trust; third,’ guarantee of bank depos- its; fourth, the regulation of railways, including physical valukhtion as favored by the Wisconsin Republicans, and, fifth, tariff, revision. . Of these five propositions the con- servatives are not willing to accept the sort of an anti-injunction plank which Mr. Bryan is said to favor, nor a pledge to favor the regulation of rail- Ways as. established in the Wisconsin idea. The principal fight will, of course, be made against the incorporation of 4 rabid anti-injynction plank such as that favored by the labor agitators and Populist leaders. The most important States in the country will line up in opposition to such a pledge and will demand that it be either omitted en- tirely or modified. ' The States which will take the initia- tive in opposing Mr. Bryan’s program will be New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, I!- linois, Indiana, Michigan, West Vir- ginia, Ohio, Minnesota and perhaps one or two other Northern: or Atlantic States. California, Colorado and Iowa are expected to join with them, so that Mr. Bryan, in order: to enforce the demands of the radicals, will be com- pelled to depend on the Southern States and those in the West ike Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas for suport. CONSERVAIIVE MAN FOR SECOND PLACE 10 OFFSE1 THE PLATFORM labored zealously to impress upon the minds of the leaders here that they were not seeking to benefit by a com- promise of any sort that would insure the selection of either as the vice-presi- dential candidate. Both Judge Gray's and Gov. John- son's delegates will co-operate only to the extent of trying to prevent the nom- ination of Mr. Bryan on the first bal- lot. It is not improbable that if it is found that neither can command 4 great number of votes, the other’s managers will give way to him and turn over their followers.

STREET a Miss Francis Smith Puts Doc- tor to Flight After Visit to Hs Office. — Special to the Post-Dispatch. ABINGDON, Ill, July 2.~With the words, ‘“‘Dr. Bellwood, you lied about me and you've got to take it back,”’ Miss Francis Smith, daughter of W. H. Smith, proprietor of a nickelodean in this city, advanced upon Dr. W. 8. Bellwood, a prominent physician of this city, with a° heavy buggy whip and broke it to bits over his face and shoulders, Following up her attack, she fas raining blows upon the doctor with the loaded butt of the cudgel when the man fled into a‘clothing store and escaped. The affair is said to be the outcome of a visit the girl made Tuesday afternoon to his office for medical treatment. The physician, according to her story, at- tempted to entice her into the rear rooms of the office. She defended her- self with qa chair, she says, and fled the building. Meeting Dr. Bellwood on the streets” last night she seized a heavy buggy whip from a bystander and lashed him. Dr. Bellwood is a prominent citizen of this city and has a mee professional practice. : Miss Smith came to this city about a month ago when her father opened a vaudeville theater here. BLIND WORKMEN GO ON A STRIKE FOR HIGHER PAY Weavers Employed in Cleveland Can’t See Advisability of Stay- ing “on the Job.” Special to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., July 2.—Because they did not receive the increase in salary which they say they were prom- ised, six blind weavers, employed at Goodrich House, are on strikke. The department in which. the weavers are employed is a schoolhouse where the blind are taught to make rugs, mittens, hose, mats and other woven goods, and the students are compensated while learning. The product of their labor is sold to maintain the department. Six Swedish looms are employed in manufacturing the various articles and it was the operators of these who quit work.

The prospect of a smokeless old age was more than the two men could stand. They announced that: they ‘did not want to prosecute each other, shook hands and left the court together. The smoke battle began on the street car as it rounded into Wash street from Fourteenth street and continued to Lef- finewell avenue. Dr. Gray was armed with a gold- tipped cigarette. Mr. Epstein’s weapon was a big black cigar with an especially vicious odor. For more than three blocks the phy- sician and professional bondsmen sat in the same seat and blew~big clouds of smoke into each other’s faces. Tried to Put Lights Out. Then each tried to put the other’s light out—not their cigar and cigarette lightsa—but thefr real lights. Dr. Gray poked Epstein as near his light as he could direct a blow, and Ep- stein retaliated by giving the young physician a jolt that nearly knocked him out of the window. : Policemen interfered and arrested both combatants at Jefigfson avenue and es- corted them to the Dayton Street Sta- tion. Cigarette Was “Fierce.” Dr. Gray was sitting In one of the three rear seats on the puffing away at a cigarette, when Ep- stein took a seat beside him. Epstein could not bear the aroma of the physician’s cigarette, but the breeze through the car window blew the smoke into his face. The professional bondsman drew a huge black cigar, made out of bad to- bacco, and touched it off with a match. After a few piiffs he had the cigar going good. ‘He drew in a big mouth- ful of #¢moke—so big that his cheeks re- sembled a pelican’s starting on 4 long journey—and then he let fly -with. a volley of smoke that hid the physician froth the view of the spectators for « few seconds. The physician fired back with a mouthful smoke that nearty, floored the saloon man.

Both trains were be- speed fn an effort to get back to their schedules. The California Limited -left St. Louis at 10:10 p. m. Wednesday. The east- bound train was due here at 7:30 a. m. Thursday. Cars and Engines Demolished. The locomotives, tender, baggage cars and three mail cars were demolished. The sleeping cars toward the rear re- main standing, but many of the pas- sengers in them were injured, some having. .bones broken. The special train bearing the injured and two of the dead reached Sedalia at 10:40 a. m. and ambulances hurried those who were hurt to the hospital. The op- erating tables there were soon full. Ev- ery available surgeon was pressed into service to dress wounds. Bodies Held at Village. The other five belies recovered from the wreckage are being prepared for Surial at Knobnoster, and will be sent thence to their homes when directions are received as to their disposition. ‘Happily fire’ did not add its horrors to the disaster. The locomotives fell in such position at the sides of the track that the coals from the boxes did not ignite the other parts of the wreck. From Kansas City and Jefferson City, as well as from Sedalia, all relief pos- sible was sent td tne scene. The first wrecking train left Sedalia at 8:45 a. m., but it was unable to reach the scene of the wreck for several hours, on ac- count of the condition of the track. Track’s Curve Hides Peril. The track just east of Knobnoster curves to the south, and there is a gen- tle incline toward the east. The 8St. Joseph train was just entering tne curve when the California Limited, running at high speed, crashed into it. The engi- neers could not see one another on ac- count ef the curve until their locomo- tives only were a short distance apart. A special train bearing all the avail- able physicians tn Sedalia was sent to the scene as soon as word of the wreck reached here. Heavy Equipment for Train, The California Limited is one of the Missouri Pacific’s crack trains. It car- ries mail cars, two sleeping cars, two chair coaches, and an observation din- ing car. Many delegates from the Hast to the Denver convention were on board. The train from St. Joseph carried two sleeping cars, a chair car and coach. Knobnoster is a flag station for No. 3— the Calffornia train—which was behind time and running to make up on its echedule when the accident occurred. Officials Report a Wreck. At the office of General Manager Sullivan of the Missouri Pacific Thursday afternoon it was said that no detailed report of the accident had been received there and that from the information at hand officials of the road were under the impression that on mall clerk had been killed and that four mafl clerks and nine pass- engers were injured. It was said that the eastbéund train Was expected to arrive between 4 and & p. m. Five physicians and surgeons were sent to the wreck from the Missouri Pact*e Hospital in St. Louls.

It is a rmanent building, but it will be chris- ene by the convention, and it is even now in readiness for the reception of delegates. If necessary-the big meeting could begin tomorrow. Nothing remains but to string a few strips of bunting from the band stand and put in place the large painting of Grover Cleveland, which is to adorn the end of the building facing the presiding officer.

No, it can’t ibe.” When the policemen who arrested the brothers told him that there was little left for them to do in the way of subduing the pugilists after the con- ductor had sparred with them for a while, he buried his head uhder the clothes in chagrin. He will «be tried Friday in the City Hall Police, Court for disturbing the peace. . The militant conductor is J. H. Adams of 2711 North Spring avenue. His welght is 140 pounds. He escaped unscathed from the battle on an Olive street car at Seventh street, Wednesday night. Charles Daly, much crestfallen, ap- peared in bandages in the City Hall Police Court Thursday and had his case continued for a week. EOCPY RIGHT Pore TeAlTs FeISCANK Ray POL ITICAL' MANAGER, FOR.

JACKSON, Miss., July 2.—A call has been issued for the Mississippi Educa- tional Conference, to be held at the State University July 6 and 7. Improvement of county pupervision, the establishment of high schools, industrial and agricul- tural education, the training of teachers and the unifying of school work are to be among the subjects discusséd. — The Post-Dispatch is the only evening newspaper in St. Louis that receives or publishes news gathered by the Assocl- ated Press. NUTMEG USED IN M’NEIL HIGHBALL AT CONVENTION in re YF New Drink Is Named in Honor of Connecticut Candidate for the Vice-Presidency—Denver Woman Has Logical Reason for Taft. DENVER, July 2. ATURALLY the convention has N created a new drink. It is @alled the Archibald McNeil highball, in honor of the eminent citizen of Connec- ticut whose name has been mentioned by his friends and the Hartford papers as a candidate for the vice-presidency. The component parts of the drink are ice, Scotch whisky, carbonated water and nutmeg. The breezy way in which the citizens are getting together and forming into committees to care for a swarm of peo- ple such as has not assembled west of the Mississippi River in one place since our progressive ancestors crossed the plains fills the casual observer with a we, Col. John I. Mfartin of St. Loults, ser- geant-at-arms of the National Commit- tee, is the first man in Denver. He has already purchased a new hat for use in the convention hall. When the crowd gets. noisy it is Col. Martin’s custom to leap upon the platform and wave his hat in a deprecatory manner. He has been known to wear out a hat in an afternoon. A funny thing about Denver is that people from the Mississippi Valley and the East come out here for health and recreation. The Denver people save up the monéy they get from the Eastern tourists and go East with it. In one recent month a single ratfiroad office in this city sold $118,000 worth of tickets td points east of Niagara Falls and the bulk of this money was contributed by residents of Denver and the surround- ing country. - Women vote in Denver in all elec. tions.

Charlie took dinner with several New York visitors last night at the Navarre and Gov.

All East St. Louls streets and paths lead to Lansdowne Park Thursday. This is Charity Carnival day on the East Side. . Since early morning East Side society women have been at their sta- tions at the grounds. The real carnival spirit will be turned loose about 6 p. m. with the arrival of the East St. Louis Commercial Club in special cars. Special badges are worn by the wom- en taking part in the carnival and they can ride on all street car divisions today without paying fare. Vice-President JL. C. Haynes has issued an order that the. badges shall act as carfare.

The lamb is being led about the grounds by girls in shepherdess costumes as an advertisement for the Bo-Peep booth. A pig with a red ribbon about its neck is led around by girls in. white costumes in charge of the mystery booth. A tame goose attached to the novelty booth is in charge of thé girls at that concession. A goat with tan harness and a tiny cart is being driven over the carnival grounds by children and will be raffled off at the close of the festivities. It was donated yesterday by E. E. Henry. Girle—and More Girls. Flags of all nations flutter in the breezes from the various concessions, and add color to the costumes worn by the women. There are Japanese girls, German girls, Roller Coaster girls, Motor-boat girls, Gipsy girls, Mystery maids, Popcorn girls, and the Candy Kids. Supper will be served at the German Inn. The fun-producing concessions will be everywhere, but 25 cents is the limit charged by any booth. There will be several ways to spend 25 cents, however. The carnival is being given for the benefit of the Henrietta Hospital by the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Henrietta Hos- pital Association. The merry-making will close at midnight. KERN I$ NOT CANDIDATE FOR THE SECOND PLACE LINCOLN, Neb., July 2.—The_. vice- presidential situation at Denver was simplified today by John W.- Kern of Indiana, who announced his refusal to allow the use of. his name, making it all the more likely that a New York man will be selected. Kern arrived in Lincoln early this morning for a visit with Bryan before continuing his jour- ney to Denver. He said: “I am not a candidate for. vice-president, and will do all in my power to prevent my name going before the convention.” Bryan came down in a drizzling rain today to meet a delegation of visitors which included Gov. Haskell of Okla- homa, Congressman Clayton of Ala- bama, Dan J. Campau, national. com- mitteeman from Michigan; T. E. Ryan, Wisconsin national committeeman; Col. Moses Wetmore of St. Louis and I. G.

HE TOUCHES FINANCE Praises Fidelity to Settled Tra- ditions and Policies of the Democratic Party. By Leased Wire From‘*the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 2.—Judge Alton B. Parker will hurl a faintly disguised dynamite bomb into the Bryan ranks at the Denver convention by proposing a series of resolutions commendatory of the late Grover Cleveland. They will not be factory-made phrases, but have been adroitly pre- pared as if with the deliberate intention of causing trouble. Either the conven- tion must decline to endorse the reso- lutions or publicly, deliberately and un- equivocally repudiate William J. Bryan and all he has stood for these years, Back-Handed Slaps at Bryan. The resolutions to be introduced were made public here by a news agency. that acts as press agent for various corporations, Among the more strik- ing phrases are these: ‘We record our profound appreciation of his lofty character, his commanding | ability and his unfailing wisdom. “He maintained the public credit and honor, stood firm-as a rock in defense of sound principles of finance and re- |sisted the dangerous economic doctrines and practices left by the Republican party as ae heritance to our people. “We recognize and commend his faithfulness at all times and under all circumstances to the settled traditions and policies of the Democratic party, as exomplified by its declarations of prin- ciples, by its acts and by the ideas and utterances of all its great leaders from the days of Thomas Jefferson to those of Samuel J. Tilden. Urge Erection of Monument, “Although Mr. Cleveland’s important work was done and his greatest respon- sibility assumed in the execution, of Federal] authority, he upheld with’ all the force of his mind, with heroic de- votion to principle, and with all> the power of his great office and influence, the rights of the State and local gov- ernments. He thus rendered effective service in asserting and maintaining that just distribution of powers whieh so distinguishes the political system bequeathed by the founders of the re- public.”’ The resolutions call upon the Demo- crats in Congress to urge the erection of a national monument to Mr. Cleve. land, and asks for the adjournment of the National Convention for a day out of respect to his memory. DORSEY TO G0 ONVARSITY BOARD Columbia Banker Accepts Place Tendered by Gov. Folk. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., July 2.—George B. Dorsey of this place will accept the appointment as curator of the Univer- sity of Missouri made by Gov. Folk.

Higgins of Rhode Island, Dr. McManus of Connecticut, and other men who are opposed to the nomination of Mr. Bryan, Monday night. On that day the dele- gates from the anti-Bryan States will caucus, that of New York leading off in the afternoon. Another feature which may put Mr. Bryan’s harmony ' plan endways will be provided by the friends and admir- ers of the late Grover Cleveland. A picture of the deceased President will stand out in full view of the 9000 peo- ple in the convention hall next Tues- day. The Bryan men proposed as a counter move to hang a 10-foot likeness of the “Peerless Leader,”’ and a local artist had started work upon the por- trait. when he received an order can- celing it. Mr. Bryan is said: to have vetoed the plan as bad taste. Friends of the late President Cleve- land plan to demand an adjournment soon after the opening of the conven- tion Tuesday till the following day in honor of the memory of Mr. Cleveland. The Bryea leaders were manifestly disturbed by the announcement. They are inclined to view the movement as an “anti-Bryan conspiracy” to encour- age a revoit. The incident is calculated to provide a sensational half hour even if it does not operate against the chances of Mr. Bryan. Sees Victory for Johnson. Frederick B.

Why Rum Was Called Grog. From the New York Press. The encyclopedias (some of them) tell us that grog was introduced into the English navy by Admiral Vernon in 1716. In England's West Indies possessions, where most of the honest rum of the universe is made, when under his sur- veillance, he found that rum agreed with the natives and invented the drink of six-to-one. There Was no name for it. The sailors were enthusiastic over it. Vernon. had a habit of walk- ing the deck In rough Weather in a pair of grogram breeches, and his nickname among the: jackies was Old Grog. That was not a’ far cry from rum to grogram; hence “grog.”’ Grogram is a coarse tex- tile fabric made of wilk or wool.

These figures show that if he guarantees to burn his lamps five hours to get the lower rate fo~ the winter months he must pay dear- ly for his service in summer, and if he makes a low guarantee for the summer mcnths he mugt pay a higher rate in winter. His contract is made for yearly peri- ods, and he is bound by his guaran- tees.

The rates appear to be so devised, according to Mr. Kinealy, as to make it impossi- ble for the consumer to get a square deal.

Famous French Aeronaut Signs Contract to Appear Here Late in July. 4

BACKED BY SYNDICATE

Americans’ Contract Calls for _ Appearance of His Latest Machines. Henri Farman, famous French aero- plane builder and navigator, will give » @ sky-sailing exhibition in his newest Sailing machine in St. Louis late in July. This ‘announcement was made to the Post-Dispatch ~hursday by Thomas R. MacMechen, 6853A Patton avenue, edi- tor of the American Aetonaut, following his receipt of a cablegram from. Dr. Frank S. Lahm in Paris stating that signed a contract. to “show’’ in America. Latest Machines to Be Shown. Dr. Lahm lives in Paris and has been conducting negotiations with Far-. ‘man for several weeks on behalf of an American syndicate. Mr. MacMechen and Dr. Lahm have had correspondence in regard to bringing Farman here. Mr. MacMechen says Farman’s con- tract calls for his arrival in the United States between July 12 and 16. It provides that he shall bring his latest aeroplanes with him and also three mechanics. The contract further provides, Mr. MacMechen says, that Farman _=§s shall make 15 flights and as many more as weather conditions will permit. Wul Show in New York. The first flights are to be mage in New York within a few days after M. Far- man’s arrival there. Admission will be charged to his exhibitions there and, ac- cording to Mr. MacMechen, it will de- pend on the financial results of his saij- ing how many of the necessary 15 flightd will be made there. Regardless of his reception tn New York, M. Fatman will be brought to St. Louis by the syndicate employing him, and St. Louisans will be afforded an op- portunity to see his famous craft ‘in operation. According to Mr. MacMechen, the syn- dicate has contracted to pay M. Farman good American dollars for his series of flights. He is to receive $5000 cash before he sails from France. Mr. MacMechen declined to name the mem- brs of the syndicate, Farman to Have Clear Field. ‘He said, however, that the same syn- dicate previously had made efforts to bring M. de la Grange, another famous Befoplane sailor, to the United States, but that De la Grange had repjected a contract-aftér signing one. Mr. Mac- Mechen says that if De la Grange at- * tempts to sail in New York or any other part of the country the syndicate }' he (MacMechen) represents will invoke the aid of the law to restrain him from | go doing. e? ea ow . a ee + tne = Gl le: GE eg EOS poe lesa qt EM Sssowemeae Mo, 94 the un Henri Farman and Leon de la Grange are the most famous exponents of the aeroplane in Europe.

ZEPPELIN 10 ATTEMPT FLIGHT ACROSS OCEAN Breaks All Steerable Balloon Records by~T rip Over Switzerland.

FRIEDRICKSHAFEN, July 2.—In the huge airship in which he hopes some day to sail to the United States, Count Zeppelin, accompanied by a crew of 14 persons, traversed the greater part of Northern Switzerland, maneuvered at will above several towns and re- turned to the starting place at Lake Constance after 12 hours in the air at an average speed of 3 miles_an hour. The journey broke all records for steer- able balloons. In almost a dead calm, the airship left its floating home on Lake Con- stance at 8:30 o’clock in the morning. Less than fivé minutes later Count Zeppelin shouted “all clear’’ and the alloon rose about 1lWw0 feet in the air d turned her bows towards Constance. By 9 o’clock it had disappeared on the western horizon. Telephone messages from Frauenfeld, Winterthur and other towns soon re- ported the appearance of the airship and her passage over the Canon of Zurich. The giant craft remained 10 minutes hovering over the town of, Zurich and the lake, and then vanished from view at a rapid rate in the di- rection of Lucerne. Cheered by American Tourists. It was about 1 o’clock when the air- ship came into view at Lucerne, and thousands of astonished tourists from all parts of the world, including hun- dreds of Americans, greeted her with loud cheering as she sailed quickly over the waters of the lake. With the greatest precision, Count Zeppelin guided his airship and pro- ceeded to carry out a long series of evolutions, which included complicated figures, circles, the figure 8, sharp tugns, descents and ascents. He then made a tour of the whole lake, visiting every bay and indentation along the Finally he turned the nose of .:.. p homeward, crossing the Albis range of mountains in the high air and traveling at a good pace. They soon reached Zurich again. Great crowds had gathered there in anticipa- tion of — balioon’s return and were waiting to cheer its arrival, The roofs of the houses and all theSpen spaces were crowded. The Count. however, i} gave them only a five minutes’ view of the balloon, merely encircling the Town Hall and then continuing on his way to Winterthur and Frauenfeld. At the latter place he crossed the artillery range and was cheered by the troops engaged in field and firing exercises. Greeted With Military Salute. By 6:30 in the Sage the airship had again reached Lake Constance and turned eastward to Bregenz, a frontier town of Austria-Hungary. From that place it traveled back to Friederichs- hafen, executip,.a most difficult series of maneuvers? %\the while until it was over the toy -% It descended to within 100 feet of, %-< roofs of the houses and was grees ‘with a salute from a bat- tery of all mortars, to which the crew of the airship, led by the Count, responded with cheers. A few min- utes later the balloon slipped easily into the shed from which it had been absent just 12 hours. The greatest altitude reached in the long voyage was 2500 feet, and the dis- tance covered was about 220 miles as the crow flies. Passengers traveling on a train between Zurich and Constance say that the balloon easily overhauled the train, which it left behind. Count Zeppelin considers the pros- pects for an approaching 24-hour flight as favorable. Prepnring for Chicago Race. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 2.—L. 8S. Scott of St.. Paul, who recently bought the racing balloon America, left last night, accompanied by Mrs. Scott and a party of friends to be present at the interna- tional races in Chicago on July 4, in which the America is entered. Capt. Percy 8S. Hudson, one of the navigators in the ballgon races at St. Louis last year, will pilot the America. The Aero Club of the Northwest -is sending two balleons to compete in the Chicago race, the America and the United States of Minneapolis.

Mrs. Eleanor Kavanaugh Is Arrested After Quarrel With Mother-in-Law. Mrs. Eleanor Kavanaugh, 28 years old, of 1223 North Twelfth street, is at the City Hospital. recovering from the ef- fects of carbolic acid, which she drank in a cell at the Catr Street Police Sta- ‘tion after a desperate struggle with her cellmate, Gra Wright, 22 years old, who attempted to prevent her and was badly burned by the spilling acid. “For over a year I have carried that bottle of carbolic acid with me con- stantly,” said Mrs. Kavanaugh to a Post-Dispatch reporter at the City Hos- pital Thursday. ‘‘When I was arrested it was too much, and I decided to end it all. I am sorry the Wright girl was burned.”’ Mrs. Kavanaugh was arrested Wednes- day evening after she had tried to eject her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ann Kava- naugh, from her home when she came unbidden to a party given by her daugh- ter-in-law. When brought to the Carr Street Sta- tion she succeeded in concealing the bot- tle of acid from the police. Ada Wright tered the cell. When she awoke a few minutes later she saw Mrs. Kavanaugh raising the bottle to her lips. She grasped her arm and a desperate strug- gle followed during which the _ acid splashed on both the women. : Mrs.) Kavanaugh had overpowered the other woman and was holding her to the floor and drinking the acid as Turn- key Pat Fitzgerald reached the cell.

Mordy, 37 years old, who has been a patient at the City Hospital since June 22, died Monday evening of tetanus, the result of a cut on his ankle, re ceived when he fell from a stepladder and gashed his ankle on a spade. Mordy had been in the Hospital five days before he told the physicians his leg and been cut on the spade. He had been treated for a dislocated ankle. When symptoms of tetanus developed, he was questioned and the manner in which he received the cut revealed.

Teddy Makes a Joke. From the New York Press. Taft was telling the President about the curious forms of lawmaking in cer- tain of our noncontiguous possessions. “There could be nothing more ridicu- lous,” said he, “than the manner in which the council of state assembles in some of our less civilized tribes. In the council chamber are placed 12 large earthen jars half full of water; 12 coun- cilors of state enter naked; stalking along with great gravity, each leaps in- to‘ his jar and immerses himself up to deliberate on national affairs.”’ , Roose- velt was just about that time in @ Wran- gle with Conkress, and any mention of the doings at the Capito] nettled him. “You don’t smile," said the Secretary of War. ‘I can’t,” replied the President. “Why?” “Oh, I see things every day “What, for instance?” A grand country where the jars alone sit in council.”

SON OF F SPANISH KING LOSES SUIT AGAINST CROWN HEIRS Supreme Court Decides in’ Favor of the Dowager Queen and Legatees. MADRID, July 2.—The Supreme Court yesterday gave judgment against the son of Elena Sanz, a Bohemian opera singer, in a suit brought to recover a share of the estate of King Alfonso XII from the Dowager Queen and other leg- atees, which he claimed as the natural son of the King. King Alfonso XII was enamored of Elena Sanz, who bore him two sons, The singer was banished from Spain after the death of the King, and died poor and friendless in Paris in 1899. The provisions of the King's will, by which he provided an ample annuity for her, appear not to have been carried out, and the eldest son sought to have his claim against the late King’s estates legally established. The case was first taken before the civil courts in Madrid, and eventually was referred to the Su- preme Court.

“PENNYFEST NETS 1876 “COPPERS” FOR (CE FUND Washington School Children Hold Carnival in Yard for the Babies.

350 PEOPLE ATTEND You Could Buy Anything From Fortune to Glass of “lemo” for 1. Cent. What's a‘cent anyhow? The hun- redth part of a dollar and a thing of fcofitempt to many people, but a lot of ‘them will go a long way and make a lot of money. That is what has hap- pened to the Post-Dispatch* Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. It has just received a big box of pennies. . Did you ever have 1876 pennies in your hand? You would be surprised to know how muctr they weigh, and if you tried to count them it would be the work of about an jiour. Penunyfest in the Yard, Tuesday night several of the children of the Washington School, assisted by William A. Meletio and Arthur W. Becker, held a penny-fest in Mr. Me- tetio’s yard at 4916 Page boulevard, It was a penny carnival, and the 350 peo- pie who were there had the time of thelr lives for a penny. The children who conducted the car- nival and sold things at the booths were Mildred Becker, Mazrie Stevens, Mabel Post, Rose McRea, Margaret Cockrell and Margaret Poliard, all of whom are not yet il \years old, and three smal! boys, George Meletio, Howard Becker and George ‘Monahan. Mr. Meletio and Mr. Becker were the barkers anders. Meletio sold penny tickets at the gate to the amusement part of the carnival. One Cent the Fixed Price. No matter if you had been John Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie, you could not buy anything at this carnival for the milk and ice fund for more than a penny. -You might hand in a $100 bill, ‘but you would get your change back if you only bought a penny’s worth of lee cream. There were peanut stands, ice cream pariors, lemonade booths and a fish in which you could et your s desire for 1 cent—count it—l cent. peanut stand you got about thir- ted peanuts for a 2 ewsy and they pnepee xou on n r the salt t. r *h og sum of one pen- u anal eet & large cornucopia of

Then there was a real Hindoo magician who really made money out of noth- ing—it came in at the front entrance. It was one of the great successes of the season—that children’s penny carni- val, and it netted to the fund $18.83%. They did not cut any pennies in two, but there were three street car tickets taken as legal tender which come to 7% cents. At the end of the carnival there was one piece of chewing gum lieft, which Mr. Meletio auctioned off for 11 cents. Little Martha Hichmann of 1014 North Broagway and Carl Pfanstein of 1012 North Broadway became lemonade mer- chants Wednesday at Carr street and Broadway, where they charged 1 cent a glass for a nectar fit for the gods. Anyhow, they realizea 15 cents for the Milk and Ice Fund which they proudly brought to the PostADispatch. WORLD’S BEST FIREWORKS. St. Louis Fireworks Co., 822 N. Broad- way.

IELLO, WIFE: I'VE OT AN AFFINITY: HELP ME QUT! a . That’s What Harris Tele- phoned; Then He Was Sued for Divorce.

CHICAGO, July 2.—‘I have been leading a swift life, my dear, and. I have become entangled -with a little blonde whom I can’t shake off. I want you to help “me get rid of her. You can do it by calling on her and telling her you are my legitimate wife.”’ When beautiful Mrs. Luella Maud Harris, former South Side society fa- vorite, received that telephone mes- sage from her husband, she says, she concluded it was time to take her She did so by suing her husband, George McdAilis Harris, assistant freight traffic manager of the Northwestern Railroad, for divorce, and, simultaneously, filing suit against his alleged affinity for $100,000 dam- ages. According to Mrs. Harris’ attorney, tne name of the affinity is Miss Mary Boe sometimes, and Mists F. A. Burns at other times. She is said to be the daughter of an Indiana windmill man- ufacturer and her address was given in the suit as 2427 Indiana avenue. Dep- uties who camped there with papers to serve on her were unable to find her. Moved by Husband's Tears. It is probable that Mrs. Harris will not press her divorce case. After she had filed sult she had a' somewhat weepy heart-to-heart talk with her hus- band in the office of a,.private detec- tive who had supplied the evidence upon which she based her case, and when her husband shed a tear or two tha. young wife buried her face in her ha dkerchief and audibly wished it all hadn't happened. At first Harris was inclined to enter a general denial. The detective men- tioned a certain hotel register and as- sured Harris that it would. figure in Mrs. Harris’ suit. Then came. the tears. Mrs. Harris was seen as she entered her flat in Washington avenue shortly after her meeting with her husband. Her motber met her at the door. “I just can't do it,’’ sobbed the young wife. ‘George said it would injure him in his businéss if the divorce case came to trial. He denies every charge. What can I do? [ don’t want to accuse him wrongly and make him lose his job.”’ ear, ~ Was Soctety Favorite. Luella Maud Kope had just graduated from the Hyde.

BLIND, CAZART LIES WEEPING ON HOSPITAL COT — Light Turns Suddenly to Dark- ness as He Steps Sick From a Car. ry WOMAN HEARS HIS CRY eae

Unknown “Lady Bountiful” Ministers to Wants of the Distressed Family.

/ ; To be stricken blind without a mo- ment’s warning is a life tragedy hap- pily. reserved for very few. To lose the beautiful, sunlit world at a stroke is so awful that few can realize it. To have geen for the last time the faces of those to never see the world of all horrors. On a cot in the City Hospital lies a man to whom this has happened. It has happened to others, but to Nicholas Cazart it came with a crash that has left him limp, weak and weeping. Only @ week before the world went black to him and he saw no more, his wife bore him his fourth child. He is so poor that his home of two rooms in the back yard, at 3302 Olive street contains no more than a bed to sleep upon, a stove on which to cook his scanty meals and a‘ table from which to eat them.

Coney, Wellston Saloon Keep- er, Will Be Arrested Every Day. St. Louls County Sunday lidlifters have grown. so bold that Gov. Folk is going to try sending a man from Jef- ferson City to stir up the county grand jury, as he did last summer. The man is to be Assistant Attorney- General John Kennish, who had the same task last year. Attorney-General Hadley is gaipg to help actively, it was announced at his office Thursday. Last year the Governor gave Mr. Ken- nish instructions to see whether he could find any graft in the county, to explain the violations of the Sunday law. Only Minor Charges Came. The graft disclosures did not come, be- yond a charge against one justice of the peace and one deputy sheriff, and Mr. Kennish had to report that the reason Sunday beer was easy to get in the county was that city people visiting the county made a big demand for it, and that there were not enough officers ‘ HERO WHO SAVED AND DIAGRAM OF 1HE RESCUE THREE LIVES

East St. Louis nature fakers are try- ing hard to snatch the laurel wreath from Alton’s brow. An incipient nature faker turned up Thursday with a story about a green horse. Here is how it ran: Charles Cullen, 1134 Missouri avenue, was driving a green horse up tha street. The green horse took fright at a mud- hole and refused to get his feet wet. Cullen whipped the green horse make him cross the mud. The color of the scene attracted the attention of Sam Ellis, and he remon- strated with Cullen for whipping the green horse. Cullen got out and whipped Sam Ellis, while the green horse looked on. Walker Gets Acti Part. J. L. Walker objected to Cullen whip- Ping Ellis. Cullen let up on Ellis long enough to whip Walker also. The two men then reported to E. A. Thomas, humane agent, that Cullen was whipping a green horse. Thomas swore out a warrant charg- ing Cullen with whipping the green horse, Ellis and Walker also swore out war- rants charging Cullen with whipping two men who were green enough to interfere with him when he was whip- ping the green horse. Cullen now has three charges to 4n- swer in court, all because he. whipped the horse. The color of the horse Was not green. A horse that is not bridle- wise is called “green,”” but the East St. Louis nature faker thought the term applied to the color of his hair. to a!

Sheriff Miller {n- formed the local police that Young is a two-term convict from Joliet, and has been arrested several times in Chicago for various offenses, from assault to burglary. Found Hiding Behind Billboard. Among robberies of whch Young is suspected here are those of the homes of W. E. Simpson, 4246 Washington avenue, and Silas B. Wright, on Clemens avenue. It was after the Wright robbery early last Saturday that Young was arrested by Twelfth district officers, crouching behind a billboard on Delmar avenue, near Ho- diamont, Sheriff Morris left $25 as a reward for the officers who caught Young.

At that time only two or three cities in the United States had dollar gas. **Though the reduction in price did not come during my term of office, the re- sult of my efforts was that the people elected a council pledged to vote only for a $1 franchise Fought Railroad Land Grants, “While serving on i..e Committee on the District of Columbia in the House of Representatives, I fought the pro- posal for a land and money grant to the railroad companies entering the City of ashington. I made a minor- ity repo and, aided by one other member, made a protest which caused the Republican majority to redtice the grant, to save the park system of Washington from the roads, and to re- quire the building of’ a splendid depot. “By another minority report, followed by a fight on the floor of the House, I defeated the bill allowing the Wash- ington Gas Co. to increase its capi- talization from $5,000,000 to $14,000,..v. The measure was a stock-watering one, and I contended that the people shouid share in the company’s profits by get- ting cheaper gas.

David A. Ball, candidate for the Dem- ocratic nomination for Governor, has issued a statement at Piedmont, Mo., denying that he has entered into any alliance with the Folk-for-Senator forces. Col. Ball's statement is as fo}- lows: : “My attention has been called to an article to the effect that I have prom- ised the Folk leaders in St. Leuls that if nominated and elected Governor they could control my appointments in that city. I desire to say that this state- ment is absolutely untrue. I have made no such promise to any one, but what I have repeatedly said on the subject tz, that if elected Governor of the State of Missouri I would appoint on the Police Board of the large cities men who will keep those bogrds out of poll- tics by a strict enforcement of all the laws; that I would appoioet men on the Election Board whose records will ivouchsafe to every voter of the State the right to cast his ballot, and it shall be fairly counted; that I would appoinr an Excise Commissioner in the City of St. Louis who would strictly enforce the law as it stands on the statute books. “If nominated and elected I will mak- my own appointments and will not bef dictated to by anyone. “I am in no way connected with the ee ee ee doe <i COUNCIL SEEMS

al According to general opinion at the City Halli, the Democratic members, at least, of the City Council will con- cur in the four amendments to the utilities bill paesed by the House of Delegates. The basis of this belief is Mayor Wells’ declared willingness to ignore the slap aimed at him by the House’s amendment depriving him of all voice in the personne! of the commission authorized by the bill. It is probable that the Council, af- ter registering its disapproval of ¢he House’s action by some means not hurtful to the bill, will pass it as

But while almost any kind of a beginning he is a matter of grave regret that there should + would have been a good beginning, it is plain that a much better measure may be framed than the one which met death at the Council’s hands on Tuesday. That bill contemplated a change in the grade Sof the street rather than in tho grade of the rail- “road tracks, and threw the expense upon the “city rather than upon the railroads, by which puch work should be done. Although the abol- BIG CINCH AND BOTTOMS. = As in the case of a shrewish wife and a mulish husband, there is no porsibility of agreement be- tween the House of Delegates and Mayor Wells. Each suspects the other and probably there is rea- son on ‘both sides. Reason or no reason, the situation is an un- happy one for St. Louis, because it leaves the city practically helpless while Big Cinch projectiles fly in one direction and Bottoms Gang dornicks fall with sharp cracks or with dull thuds in the other. There ought to be and there is plenty of ground between Respectable Avarice and Predatory Ras- cality on which the people of this great city can meet and determine public questions for the com- mon good, but Big Cinchism and Bottoms Gang- ism will not have it so. In the matter of the Public Service Commission we have a fine example of official neglect and in- capacity based upon nothing but mutual dislike as between the Mayor and the House. The May- or would like to have a Public Service Commis- sion, but he wants to control it.. The House would create a commission any hour in the day if it could, name its members. The questions certain to come before such a body are of a nature which makes it highly de- sirable that its members should not be exclusive- ly Big Cinchers or Bottom. Gangsters. In that place one would be as bad as the other. Probably the best that can be hoped for under the circum- stances is a compromise, by means of which both of these highly influential elements will have rep- resentation. Such being the solemn fact, it is deplorable in every way that there is not in the various branch- es of the municipal government enough regard for duty and for the public welfare to force action of some kind without further delay. If the House of Delegates is sincerely hostile to the Mayor and the Big Cinch, let it consider the self-evident truth that monopoly’s ends are well served by procrastination. ene ducing more tons of MSS. than any other, should not suffer this great and desirable rep- utation to be soiled by a too great originality in murder. Let the i.oosiers expend what genius they have in ‘kat line writing detective stories, in which more ingenious crimes can be committed with impunity than in any woman’s back yard or on any church porch. ‘ The meaning of the word “reform” depends a good deal upon the place in which it is used. In England the fine old protectionists who want a tariff for plunder speak of their movement as one in favor of tariff reform. In Hot Springs, Ark., the reform Mayor recently elected has an- nounced his purpose to let the race tracks and the gambling houses run, for the city needs the license money. \

Forest Park is large enough and good enough perhaps; but we have also the greatest river in the world flowing right by our doors. To visit the river front as it is now is not much of a pleasure. One sees only ramshackled and dilapidated buildings—breeding place for vermin and disease—that have long since outlived their useful- ness; he gees filth, wretchedness and woeful wicked- ness—hiding places for criminals and sleeping places for tramps and vagrants. Something should have been doné long ago to improve and beautify the river front. A park would be a good thing. But why have only one park there? Why not go farther and make a beautiful terrace along the whole river front from Chain of Rocks to the southefn extremity of the city, ‘with a series of small»parks at intervals of a mile or half a mile apart? Of course the city could not do this in a year or two years, or perhaps in 10 years. SAINT LOUIS. Two Opportunities. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I noticed in the letters to the people, a letter re- ferring to men and poetry, and mentioning Ingalls’ “Opportunity” as the favorite poem of one man. How many have heard the “Opportunity” by Robert B. Malone? I think this one far better than the one by Ingalls. It !s as follows: They do me wrong who say I come No more When orce I knock and fall to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door, And bid you wake, and rise, to fight and win. Wall not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages On the wang; Each night I burn the records of the day, At sunrise every soul is born again. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments sea] the dead past with its dead, But never bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep, I lend my arm to all who say “TIT can.” No shamefaced outcast ever sank 80 deep But might rise and be again a man. Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous retribution’s blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future’s pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Then rouse thee from thy spell! Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven.

What does the Democratic party stand for that the Republican party doesn’t claim to stand for, and what is either platform going to have in it worth while that wasn’t stolen from the other platform? “The fact is,” the speaker insisted, “the politicians have exhausted their invention.

Be- yond question, there are few trophies more prized than the huge shovel horns of this strange dweller in the cold north- land forests. I shot my first moose after making several fruitiess hunting trips with this special game in view. The season ! finally succeeded it was only after hav- ing hunted two or three weesk in vain, among the Bitter Root Mountains, -and the ranges lying southeast of them. I began about the first of September by making a trial with my old hunting friend, Willis. We speedily found a country where there were mooseé, but of the animals themselves we never Caught We tried’to kill them by hunting in the_s&ime manner that we hunted elk; tat is, by choosing a place where there ‘was a sign, and going care- fully through it against or across the wind. However, this pian failed; though at that very time we succeeded in kill- ing elk in this way, devoting one or two days to their pursuit. There were both elk and moose in the country, but they were usually found in different kinds of ground, though often close alongside one another. The forme! went in herds, the cows, calves and yearlings by themselves, and they roamed through the higher and more Open forests, well up towards timber line. The moose, on the contrary, were found singly or in small parties cém- posed at the outside of a bull, a cow and her young of two years: for the moose is practically monogamous, in strong contrast to the highly polyga- mous wapiti and caribou. Our main difficulty lay in the charac- ter of the woods which the moose haunted. They were choked and tan- gled to the last degree, consisting of a mass of thick-growing conifers, with dead timber strewn in every direction, aug young growth filling the spaces be- tween the trunks. We could not see 20 yards ahead of us, and it was almost impossible to walk without making a noise. ‘The elk were occasionally found in these same places; but usually they frequented more open timber, where the hunting was beyond comparison easier. more experienced hunters would vave killed their game; though in such cover the beSt tracker and still- hunter alive cannot always reckon on success With really wary animals. But, be this as it may, we, at any rate, were completely baffled, and I began to think that this modse, hunt, like all my for- mer ones, was doomed to end in fail- ure, However, a few days later I met a crabbed old trapper named Hank Grif- fin, who was going after beaver tn the mountains, and who told me that if I come with him he would show me moose. I jumped at the chance, and he proved as good as his word: though, for the first two trials my il! hick did not change. On Favorable Grouad. » At the time that it finally did change we had at last reached a place where the moose were on favorable ground. * A high, marshy vailey stretched for sev- eral miles. between. two rows of stony Mountains, clad with a forest of rather small fir trees, This valley was covered With reeds, alders and rank grass, and Studded with little willow-bordered ponds and island-like clumps of spruce and gracefu) tamnracks. ' Having’ surveyed the ground and found moose sign the preceding after- Troon, we were up betimes in the cool morning to begin our hunt. Before funrise We were posted on a rock spur ‘‘r.e neither flinched nor reeled but s ering trot through the spruces; yet | knew he was mine.”’ tarted with his regular ground cov- - oun he lay down, though not when he stood. After some turning, he settled himself in his bed just as a steer would. He could not have chosen a spot bet- ter suited for“us. He was nearly at the edge of the morass, the open space be- tween the spruce clump where he was lying and the rocky foothills being com- paratively dry and not much over a couple of hundred: yards broad; while some sixty yards from it, and between it and the hills, was a little hummock, tufted with firs, so as to afford us just the cover we needed. Keeping back from the edge of the morass, we were able to Ww upright through the forest, until we got the point where he was ly- ing in-a line with this. little hummock. We then dropped on our hands and knees, and crept over the soft, wet sward, where there was nothing to make a noise. Wherever the ground rose at all we crawled flat on our belHes. The air was still, for it was a very calm morning. At last we reached the hummock, and I got into position for a shot, taking a final look at my faithful 45-909 Win- chester to see that all was in order. Peering cauttously through the shield- ing evergreens, I at first could not make out where the moose was lying, until my eye was caught by the motion of his- big ears, as he occasionally flapped them lazily forward. Even then I could not see his outline; but I knew where he was, and having pushed my rifle for- ward on the moss, I snapped a dry twig to make him rise. My veins were thrill- ing and my heart beating with that eager, fierce excitement, known only to Ibut some enormous, fresh tracks told f - longer and slimmer than a caribou’s, while on the other hahd it is much larger than an elk’s, and a longer oval in shape. Most of the sign was old, this high alpine meadow, surrounded by snow mountains, having clearly been a fa- vorite resort for moose in the summer; that one or more old bulls were still frequenting the place. The light was already fading, and, of course, we did not wish to camp where Wwe were, because we would then cer- tainly scare the moose. Accordingly, we pushed up the valley for another mile, through an open forest, the ground being quite free from underbrush and dead timber, and covered with a carpet of thick moss, In which the feet sank noiselessly. Then we came to another beaver meadow, which offered fine feed for the ponies. On its edge we hastily pitched camp, just at dusk. We tossed down the packs in a dry grove, close to loose in the meadow. hobbling the little mare that carried the bell. The ground was smooth. We threw a cross-pole from one to the other of two young spruces, which happened to stand hand- ily, and from it stretched and pegged out a piece of canvas, which we were using as a shelter tent. Beneath this we spread our bedding, laying under it the canvas sheets in’ which it had been wrapped. There was still bread left over from yesterday’s baking, and in a few moments the kettle was boiling and the frying pan sizzling, while one of us skinned and cut into suitable pieces two grouse We had knocked over on 6ur march. For fear of frightening the moose, we built but a small fire, and went to bed soon after supper, being both tired and cold. Fortunately, what little bré@ze there was blew up the val- ley.

A Conflict of Motives Which told for the Caused Terrible Tragedy. Re- Post-Dispatch Pm, - whatever had been left outside. The cold was sharp, and I hurriedly slipped a pair of stout moccasins on my feet, drew on my gloves and cap and started through the ghostly woods for the meadow where we had seen the moose sign. The tufts of grass were stiff with frost; black ice skimmed the edges and quiet places of the little brook. A Hunt at Dawn. I walked slowly, it being difficult not to make a noise by cracking sticks or brushing against trees, in the gloom; but the forest was so open that it fa- vored me. When I reached the edge of the beaver meadow it was light enough to shoot, though the front sight still glimmered indistinctly. Streaks of cold red showed that the sun would soon rise. Before leaving ‘the shelter of the last spruces I halted to listen; and almost immediately heard a curious splashing sound from the middle of the meadow, where the brook broadened into small willow-bordered pools.~I knew at once that a moose was in one of these pools, wading about and pulling up the water lilies by seizing their slippery stems in his lips, plunging his head deep under water to do so. The moose love to feed in this way in the hot months, when they spend all the time they can in the water, feeding or lying down; nor even when the weather is so cold that icicles form in their shaggy coats. Crouching, I stole notselessly along the edge of the willow thicket. The stream twisted through it from side to side in zigzags, so that every few rods I got a glimpse down a lane of black water. In a minute I heard a slight splashing near me; and on passing the next point of bushes, I saw the shadowy outline of the moose’s hindquarters, standing in a bend of the water. In a moment he walked onwards, disappearing. I ran forward a couple of rods, and then turned in among the willows, to reach the brook where it again bent back to- wards me. The splashing in the water and the rustling of the moose’s body against the froze twigs drowned the lit- tle noise made by my moccasined feet. I strode out on the bank at the lower end of a long, narrow pool of water, dark and half frozen... In this pool, half way down and facing me, but a score of yards off, stood the mighty marsh beast, strange and uncouth in look as some monster surviving over from the Pliocene. His vast bulk loomed black and vague in the dim gray dawn: his huge antlers stood out sharply; columns of steam rose from his nostrils. For several seconds he fronted me motion- less; then he began to turn, slowly, and as if he had a stiff neck. When quarter way round I fired into his sheulder; whereat he reared and bounded on the bank with a great leap, vanishing in the willows. Through these I heard him crash like a whirlwind for a dozen rods; then down he fell, and when I reached the spot he .had ceased to struggle. The ball had gone through his heart. When a moose is thus surprised at close quarters, it will often stand and gaze for a moment or two, and then turn stiffly around until headed in the right direction; once thus headed aright it starts off with extraordinary speed. The flesh of the moose is very good; though some deem it coarse. Old hun- ters, who always like rich, greasy food, rank a moose’s nose with a beaver’s tail, as the chief of backwood delicacies; personally, I never liked either. The hide of the moose, like the hide of the elk, is of very poor quality, much in- ferior to ordinary buckskin. do they altogether abanden the habit | THE STORY TELLERS OF NAPLES.

As it grew lighter we scanned the val- “zy with increasing care and eagerness. -ne sun rose behind us; and almost as soon «s it was up We made out some large benst moving among the dwarf Willows beside a little lake half a mile in our front. In a few minutes the thing walked out where the bushes were thin- ner, and We saw that it was a young bull moose browsing on the willow He had evidently nearly finished his breakfast, and he stood Idily for some moments, now and then lazily cropping a mouthful of twig tips. Then he walked off with great strides in a Straight line across the marsh, splash- Ing among the wet water plants and plowing through boggy spaces with the indifference begotten of vast strength and legs longer than those of any other animal on this continent. At times he entered beds of reeds which, hid him from view, though their surging and bending showed the wake of his pas- Sage; at other times he walked through grasa, the withered yellow stalks rising-to his flanks, while his body loomed above them, glistening black and wet in the level sunbeams. with a somewhat awkward mo- reached his hind leg forward to is neck. Then he walked for- n into the marsh; where the quite deep he broke into the cteristic galt of his kind, the marsh water into foam. oS smote his ears the moose rose nimbly ‘to his feet, with a lightness on which one would not have reckoned In a beast so heavy of body. .He stood broadside to me for a moment, his ungainly head slightly turned, while his ears twitched and his nostrils snuffed the air. Draw- ing a fine bead against his black hide, behind his shoulder and two-thirds of his body’s depth below his shaggy with- ers, I pressed the trigger. He neither flinched nor reeled, but started with his regular ground-covering trot through the spruces; yet I knew he was mine, for the light blood sprang from both of his nostrils and he fell dying on his side before he had gone 30 rods. la No-Maa’s Valley. Later in the fall I was again hunting among the lofty ranges which contihue towards the southeast the chain of the Bitter Root, between Idaho and Mon- tana. There were but two of us, and we were traveling very Hght, each having but one pack pony and the saddle ani- mal he bestrode. We were high among the mountains, and followed no regular trail. Hence our course was often one of extreme difficulty. ¢ Late ohe cold afternoor. we came out in a high alpine valley in which there was no sign of any man's having ever been before us. Down its middle ran a clear brook. On each side was @ belt of thick spruce forest, covering the lower flanks of the mountains. The _ trees came down in points aud isolated clumps to the brook, the banks of which were thus bordered with open glades, render- ing the traveling easy and rapid. Soon after starting-up this valley we entered a beaver meadow of considera- ble size. It was covered with lush, rank grass, and the stream wound through it rather sluggishly in long curves, which were fringed by a thick growth of dwarfed willows. In one or two places it broadened into smal! ponds, bearing a few lily pads. This meadow had been all tramped up by moose. Trails led hither and thither Evidently most of the plucked.

The nearby city of Alba Longa was Rome’s chief rival for the supremacy of that part of Italy. In Alba Longa lived a young nobleman named Curia- tius, who had won Horatia’s love. The two were betrothed. The girl had, with her own hands, wovern -for her lover a rich cloak of many bright colers. This cloak was the envy of the rough Albans, and was the dearest possession of young Curia- tius. The King ‘of Rome was Tullus Hos- tilius, a warlike sovereign, who desired to make his city the strongest in all Italy. He began by declaring war on Alba Longa. A few border skirmishes started the hostilities. Then an Alban army under King Cluilius marched against Rome. Tullius and the Roman troops went out to meet the invaders, and the two opposing armies drew UP in battle line, waiting their leaders’ Or- ders to begin the conflict. Then it was that the Alban King, Cluilius, sent a messenger to Tullus with the following proposal: He said it was useless to sacrifice many lives in warfare when a smaller number might serve the purpose just as well. He therefore suggested that -each side se- lect three champions, and ‘that these six men fight to the death. The army whose three representatives should be slain was to be declared defeated with- out further battle. This idea appealed to Tullus. cepted the challenge and chose for Rome’s champions Horatia’s three brothers, knowp as ‘the Horatii.”’ Cluilius selected young Curiatius and the latter's two brothers to fight for Alba Longa. Curtatius was thus forced to contend for his life and the honor of his native city against the brothers of the girl he leved. The three ‘“‘Horatii” and the three “Curfatii” put on their armor and marched out into a great open Space between the two waiting armies. There the strange triple duel begen. For a long time the fight waged and the issue hung in doubt. One after another, at last, all three of the Curiatii were bad- ly wounded. Two of the Horatii Were alain eutright. To the surprise of beth | He ac- one could understand his flight. But the ruse was soon explained. The three wounded Curiatii pursued him fiercely. They did not keep together, but “strung out” some distance apart in the chase. As soon as they were so far apart that they could no longer assist each other, Horatius suddenly turned upon the one who was nearest to him. Rushing at the wounded, tired man, he killed him with one blow of hig sword. Then, in the same way, he attacked and slew in succession the second and third of the Curiatii. Dragging from the body of his sister’s dead lover the gorgeous cloak the girl had woven, Horatius threw the garment about his own shoulders, as a trophy, and was carried back to Rome on the upraised shields of his applauding com- rades. He had saved the day for his city. Horatia, with the other Roman wom- en, had been watching for the army’s return. As her brother was borne in cloak about his shoulders and knew what had befallen her lover. Bursting through the cheering crowd, she barred the victor’s way. Weeping and with dis- heveled hair, she solemnly cursed him for the death of Curtatiua. Horatius, the fury of battle still upon him, drew his sword, that yet reeked with Curtatius’ blood, and stabled Ho- ratia to the heart, shouting: “So perish all who mourn thelr coun- try’s foes!’’ In an instant the triumphal procession was changed to a throng of angry sol- diers and townsfolk clamoring for the murderer's blood. Horatius was dragged before the Judges. They condemned him to be whipped t6é death. But in recog- nition of his battle-record it was later decided that a heavy fine and a public humiliation would suffice as punish- ment. -Heratia’s body lay unburied where it had fallen until passersby piled a heap of stones above it to mark the last rest- ing place of the woman who had dared to place love before’ patriotismi.

Nobody asked him to save the day. He was off the job and frisky as a colt pasture. Harry Howell, who was picked to do MecAleer’s spitting, surprised even his admirers by lasting through a 12-inning game. Toward the end he was a trifle pale around the gills, but many worse games have been pitched, and had it not for the rude conduct of Lajoie and ingham he might have pulled the me out of the fire, despite the Naps’ ting rallies in the sixth and the “twelfth innings.

CIAL. 14, FLOPES WITH MAN OF 40 They Miss Connections at Station and Police Capture Young Woman.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. July 2—‘if a man wants to marry a 14-year-old girl and has the consent of her parents, I ‘think that’s his business and no one has a right to butt in. Both my bride- to-be and myself have been deeply hu- miliated by the police. Somebody will pay for this dearly.’ So exclaimed C. E. Smith, 40 years old, a traveling salesman of Marvel, Ark., as he left pociice headquarters here in a hack with Julia De Lavar, who had spent the night with Police Matron Mary Roark. Miss De Lavar, a Y4-year-old girl, also of Marvel, Ark., was detained at cen- tral police station while her intended husband tossed sleeplessly upon his pil- low in a local hotel and cursed the un- certainty of railway time tables. Arrangements had been made some Gays ago for a secret marriage, and the couple decided to come to Memphis and enjoy the more lenient matrimonial statutes of Tennessee. Smith was to Obtain the license apd a minister and meet his child flancee at the Union Depot. ‘ He accomplished both the first and second objects, but owing to the de- lay in the arrival of a train failed to be at the depot when Miss De Lavar reached the city. The girl left the de- ‘pot and went to the Gayoso hotel in search of her aged sweetheart. The clerk of the hotel, suspecting that Miss De Lavar was a runaway, telephoned ‘the station house, and Sergt. Kehoe ~ Was sent to offer her his protection. She was placed in charge of Matron Roark. “who kept her over night. Smith spent $11 in cab fare before he finally found her, The meeting was a tearful one. Mu- tual explanations were made, and the two wished immediately to go to a min- ister. The officials, however, insisted on first communicating with the child's ‘parents. Ata late hour the following ‘Morning the father wired the Memphis ‘police to allow the ceremony to be per- formed. “Do you really want to marry this man?’ the pretty 14-year-old was asked by an officer. “Do you think . would come to Mem- _ phis like this if I didn’t?’’ was the pert "but convincing reply.

Re POST-DISPATCH'S DAILY RECORD OF MARKETS AND

{ Vth SM CHANGES IN N.Y, STOCKS --. Price Movements Slow and Market Continues Dull and Uninteresting.

NEW YORK, July 2, 10 a. m.—Opening prices of today’s stock market were very slightly changed from the closing fig- ures. Price movements were again slow, and there was an absence of activity in any of the issues. The copper stocks averaged recessions of % in the initial sales, "while Steel common was at parity and the preferred % higher. Among the rails Atchison and Great Northern were unchamged. Almost all the other rail stocks shoved gains rang- ing from % to %, Reading and Union Pacific being about the most bullish. The early trading was so light that changes in quotations were slow and of no consequence. Slight advances were made in Union Pacific, Reading and Northern Pacific, and all the other issues were fractionally unchanged at the end of the first half hour. The Norfolk & Southern Railway has been placed in the hands of a receiver, but the matter is not considered of much importance. American stocks in London were quiet at about parity. NEW YORK, July 2, 12:30 p. m— Transactions during the forenoon hours were the smallest for any correspond- ing period this year, the sales amount- ing to only 78,200 shares. The market drifted aimlessly and as a consequence there were few changes in prices. Smelting, Amalgamated Cop- per, Reading and Southern Pacific were unchanged. Missouri Pacific had not opened up to noon. Anaconda and both the steel issues scored small fractional advances. Most of the rail stocks were from % to % lower.

BULLS RETAIN UPPER HAND IN WHEAT MARKET - Further Advances Scored in Response to Continued Rains.

The combination of unfavorable do- mestic weather conditions and EBuro- pean strength again caused an upward range of prices in the local wheat mar- ket Thursday, and though a partial reaction occurred late in tne session the close showed gains of %c to le for the day. Corn also sold up to good ad- vances and oats were firm, though dull. The market will close at noon Friday and will close all day the Fourth. There was more activity displayed than has yet been the case this week, many being on quite a large scale, with price movements rapid and uncerta'‘n. There were further heavy rains throughout large portions of Kansas and Nebraska, and threshing returns were small and unsatisfactory in char- acter. Advices from the winter wheat fields were generally of a discouraging kind, and at the opening many of the shorts were covering their lines, and switching over to the long side. Ini- tial prices were strong and large gains were quickly registered, there being practically no offerings in the pit. Foreign advices state that threshing returns in European countries are un- satisfactory and the weather not as faverable as it has been recently. With this as the principal support prices in all foreign markets showed Live oes closing %@%d ay egy 1%c higher and Budapest 3%c These features, together with ~ small Country acceptances and the light receipts, caused general bullish senti- ment. Prices went up steadily and when the high point was reached considerable nervousness developed, the market still being active, but rather narrow, July wheat opened %c higher at &%c, advanced to , Was offered down to 8644@86%4c, and recovered to 86%c. tember wheat opened %c higher at @865c, aévenees to 864%@86%c, declined to 8&8 advanced to and was o cred down to Spee ber wheat opened %c higher at $8%e, and was bid up to &9%c. There was a good cash demand at Min- neapolis, with No. 1 Northern wheat 3c over July, :and No. 2 Northern 1c over. Minneapolis stocks decreased 60,000 bu for five days. Minneapolis cars were 117, against a holiday last year; Duluth. 27, against a holiday last year, and Win- nipeg 152, against 360 last year. Estimates place the Argentine ship- ments of wheat at 2,000,000 bu, against 2,232,000 ‘bu last week and 1,184,000 bu a year ago; corn, 2,800,000 bu, against 1,934,- 000 bu last week and 1,439,000 bu a year ago. The corn market was quiet except for July option, in which some belated shorts were urgent coverers. That de- livery was early bid up to an advance of 2c over last night’s pricé, but a sub- Yee reaction left the closing price 4c higher for the day.

State Charges Destruction of Competition and Division of Territory.

AUSTIN, Tex., July 2.—The State of Texas through the Attorney-General has filed suit in the Fifty-third District Court here against the American Book Co. of New Jersey and the American Book Co. of New York for penalties ag- gregating $3,078,350, for the forfeiture of permits, for ouster and for a writ of in- junction to restrain the defendants from doing other than interstate business in The suits are based on alleged violations of the antitrust laws of 1899 and 1903. The action is the result -* recent in- | vestigation made by Assistant Attorney- , General Lightfoot of the American Book Co. in New York, and in accordance . with instructions from the Governor ‘and the Text Book Bogtd and State | Board of Education, the latter Board ; having canceled the contract made with ’ this company to furnish books in this State. Penalties are sued for against the ‘American Book Co. of New Jersey from

Aug. 18, 1901, to March 31, 1908, at the rate of $5000 per day unndner the anti- , trust act of 1899 and for penalties at the rate of $50 per day from March 1, 193, to Jan. 31, 1908, under the anti-trust act ‘of 1903, aggregating $3,078,350. . Penalties are sued for against the | Asierican Book Co. of New York from Jan. 21, to the present time under } act of 1908 at $50 per day to the present time, aggregating $7500. The State in its petition gives a his- ‘tery of the American Book Co. showing ; : ! cencerns it ts claimed to have absorbed, and alleges that as a result of such com- | Dination a large number of individuals ‘and corporations theretofore doing ‘busi- ness in publishing and selling school : books in Texas are excluded therefrom | and cempetition is thus affected and de- atreyed. The prices of school books have been maintained at exorbitant figures, it is ‘ gtroyed and territory of charged, and a practical monopoly has been established, competing concerns de- the United ' States, including Texas,: practically par- celed out in a manner wholly destructive of competition in this State and con- trary to the anti-trust acts of Texas.

- BOVERNMENT TO RELIEVE CONVICTS’ MENTAL STRAIN BY PERMITTING SMOKING

Privilege Granted on Recommenda- tion of Physicians and Bids Are to Be Asked for Tobacco. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., July 2.— Requisitions have been made by the of- ficlals of the Federal Penitentiary for the authority to purchase smoking to- bacco for the use of the inmates un- til the necessary machinery can be installed for the manufacture of the smoking mixture at the prison. After the officials receive the author- ity from the department to make such purchases, bids will be opened for the gupply in quarterly allowances. The privilege of smoking is a new one at this institution. ‘gmoke, the Although all the other Federal penitentiaries in the United States allow their inmates to practice has never been allowed here. The opinions of the doc- ‘tors. in regard to this privilege have ‘all been favorable. They seem to think _that it is of a great benefit to men “serving long terms in the Penitentiary to smoke tobacco. It has a tendency to relieve their minds of the mental strain which may exist from their confinement, the phy- ‘eicians say. They also declare that to- ‘bacco is one of the greatest antiseptics and that its use will check disease to ga certain extent. _ or at any time they choose. ficiala of the Penitentiary here will be As soon as the tobacce is purchased pipes will be distributed to the inmates and they will be allowed a certain amount per week. At Atlanta, Ga., convicts are allowed to smoke on duty, The of- more strict. No prisoner will be allowed to smoke ouside his cell.

CHARGES TO BE_ FILED Members of Board Decline to Act Because They Are Involved in Case. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July i- Charges of mismanagement of the State convict farm at Cummings, Lincoln County, are to be investigated by the Rev. A. C. Millar, presiding elder of the Little Rock district of the Metho- dist Church, beginning abvut July 1. This course was determined at a meeting of the State Board of Peni- tentiary Commissioners, who declined to undertake the investigrtion them- selves because charges have been made that there are members of the board who are friendly to either one or the other of certain accused officers of the Peniténtiary. Attorney-General W. F. Kirby op- posed Dr. Millar’s -~ppointment as com- missioner on the ground that there is no law upon which he could be author- ized to undertake the investigation. He also argued that members of the board should not put upon the shoulders of another a duty they are unwilling to perform. Secretary of State Ludwig moved that the entire board accompany Dr. Millar upon the trip to the farm, but this was later withdrawn, and the entire case has been passed up to the church- man for a ‘full and complete inspec- tion. Dr. R. L. Russell has been instructed by Dr. Millar to draw up a bill of particulars, specifying the charges he has made against the management of the farm, and each case of mismanage- ment that he is willing to have investi- gated. Such members of the board as may desire will attend the investiga- tion. Dr. Millar has authority to call for books, accounts, men, and to take all necessary.testimony. He will re- port to the board.
