A United. Railways motorman and a conductor, found guilty of slugging a passenger and beating him with a con- troller handle and transfer punch, were fined $800 each by Judge Pollard in the Dayton Street Police Court Friday. They were the crew of a Cass car, James Woods, 2527 Bacon street, being the motorman and Clinton Crume, 21 South Channing avenue, the conductor. Erasmus T. Heckert of 3638 St. Louis avenue was the complainant. He testified that Feb. 4 he boarded the car, westbound, and told the conductor he wanted to get off at Union boule- vard and St. Louis avenue. He went to sleep. When the conductor woke him there was a quarrel. Heckert told Judge Pollard that when he left the car the motorman and the conductor followed him to the street. Woods carried his heavy brass controller handle and Crume used his transfer punch as a weapon. They beat him and threw him into a ditch, he testified. John Swain, who was with Heckert, corroborated this statement. “This slugging of citizens by street railway employes is inexcusable,’ said Judge Pollard. ‘I shall fine you both the limit.’’ On their testimony that Hecker cursed them Judge Pollard fined Heckert $10. The conductor and motorman denied that they attacked Heckert. They said they just “helped him off the car.” ELOPERS MARRY WHEN GIRL’S FATHER I$ DISTANCED IN CHASE Bridegroom Gets License and Dou- bles Back Home for the Girl.

Cooper and John D. Sharp, for the murder of former Senator B. W. Carmack. The outlook for select- ing the twelfth juror was not partic- ularly bright. The State has three peremptory challenges left, but the defense has 39. The State cannot ask a change of venue. It cannot try a man untf] it can get a jury. If it cannot try him he goes free. “Theoretically ‘that would be the re- sult of a failure to get a jury,” said Judge Hart. “And while such a re- sult is possible, I consider it very im- probable. I intend to get a jury if it takes another month.

Special to the Post-Dispatc CINCINNATI, Feb. 12. ~ Bélievinis that he had been underpaid for his statues in St. Mary’s Cathedral at Marietta, O., Oscar Mundhenk, a young Cincinnati architect and. sculptor, chiseled the features from the face of the statue of the Virgin Mary, the central figure in a group he had made to represent the story of the Assumption. Religious and art circles in Cincinnati were deeply stirred by the incident. To vome the attempted destruction . of the statue in the Cathedral was a dese- cration. Mundhenk’s friends, on the other hand, are inclined to defend him. “It was the work of his own hands,” they argue. “If he was not properly treated by the church authorities he was justified in destroying his own property.”’ Is Son of Noted Sculptor. Mundhenk is a son of August Mund- henk- of 321 Helen street, Mount Au- burn, who is himself a sculptor and artist of national reputation: Early in his life Oscar Mundhenk showed a talent for sculpture and be- gan studying under the direction of: his father. He attended the Cinginnati Art Academy and later studied under the sculptor, Rebisso, whose geniys gave him a high rank: in the list of American sculptors. He spent several years abroad in study and then returned to work with his father. The contract for the work in the Marietta church originally was given to} the elder Mundhenk. However,, finding himself too busy, he turned the work over to his son with the approval of the church authorities. “He was not paid as he should have been and as he expected he would be,” said Mrs. Mundhenk today. No Morey for Food. “He wrote us repeatedly to send him money so that he could live. We"have had numbers of complaints from Oscar, that the priest of the church where he was at work, while highly praising his work, refused to pay him except in small pittances. At times he was ac- tually hungry. He has been under much expense and if he is in trouble it is the result of the attitude of the priest toward him. ‘I talked with my son this morning,’’9 said August Mundhenk, “and he told me that the matter had been adjusted and that he had been asked to complete the work in the church and to restore the statue of the Virgin. The head is the only part injured and that can be restored without: difficulty. I am con- fident that the young man was not treated right.

BY SECRETARY LUKE WRIGHT At Hodgen ville, Ky. T SEEMED the.very irony of fate that so gentle a spirit, so sympa- | thetic and kindly a nature, should be forced by the stern logic of events, over which he had no control and for which, he was in no way responsible, to assume the role of commander-in-chief in a sanguinary civil war between men of the same blood and the same traditions. The years of war and destruction during which he was President, whilst they plowed deep lines of care and grief upon his rugged face and wrung his gentle heart, provoked no expressions of bitterness from his lips. His many acts of personal kindness to Southern prisoners and Southern sympa- e izers demonstrated how free from the spirit of malice or vengeance he was. s in the progress of time it became evident the Union arms would triumph, he evinced no feeling of exultation or sense of personal triumph, but only an anxious desire to restore the Southern States to their former place in the Union and to heal the wounds of civil strife.

BRAHAM LINCOLN is claimed by all humanity and all time as A the type of the race best showing forth the best in all men in all conditions of life. He came from the rugged but man-making schoo] cf’ poverty and hardship, with all man’s lot of toil and trial, of sorrow and storm, unto the end that he, most kindly and homelike of friendly neighbors, should stand out grand and alone to lead a mighty people and a noble land safe through a storm of mortal strife and danger to. the blessings of union and peace under the Constitution and the law. He came to give liberty to every soul and in all our broad domain to the glory of God and all our land for all ages. He lives and will live forever in the hearts of all the people of\all the earth as the man of the people; grand in simple, noble dignity. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN At Springfield, Ill. t O other American President has ever so clearly owed his elevation to N his oratory. Washington, Jefferson and Jackson, the presidents usually mentioned with him, were all poor speakers. He possessed the two things that are absolutely essential to effective speaking--namely, information and earnestness If one can be called eloquent who knows what he is talking about and means what he says—and I knew of no bet- ter definition—Lincoln’s speeches were eloquent. His Gettysburg speech is not surpassed, if equaled, in beauty, simplicity, force and impressiveness by any speech of the same length of any language. It is the world’s model in eloquence, elegance and condensation. He might safely rest his reputa- tion as an orator on that speech alone. * BY UNITED STATES SENATOR LODGE t Bostoz, Mass. WILLIAM « 7 BRYAN: BY WOODROW WILSON At Chicago. INCOLN had no special | gift. He was of general uve. He was like some great instrument of humanity. Wherever life touched him he spoke back its meani e forth fire to kindle “he Vite. Each power slumbered in him and waited to be awakened. He seemed slow of development, waited upon circumstances to guicken him, but always re- ‘sponded upon whatever seale the challenge came, seemed’ a great reservoir of living water which could be freely quaffed but not exhausted. His nature suggested always a richness that had only been partly drawn uxon, and his life ended as if unfinished, fuller of prom- ise than when it began. A very normal man, with reg gee gifts, but all upon : scale, all knit together in om and natural fori like the great frame in which he moved of us all, that his wisdom, his purity and his greatness were as ob- vious and acknowledged, or ought to have been as obvious and ac- knowledged in his lifetime as they are today. He was bitterly criticised and denounced by men in his own party. Washington previously met the same fate when he retired from the presidency. These things teach us that a great “executive officer dealing with the most momentous problems, cannot do everything at once. That he must subordinate the lesser to the greater if he would not fail entirely. BY GEN. JAMES GRANT WILSON At Hodgenville, Ky.

FOLK PRAGES NORTH AND SOUTH ONLINCOLN FARM _

HODGENVILLE, Ky., Feb. 12.—For- mer Gov. Joseph W. Folk of Missouri received an ovation when he arose to- day to pay tribute to Lincoln on the farm where the war President was born. Mr. Folk said: “The people of every great nation have in all tiges honored their heroes with memorials. In studying the history of other peoples we judge them by these tokens of affection for the. men that led them in some mighty crisis. This nation has had many men whose deeds have emblazoned the pages of his- tory, but no name is now dearer in the hearts of the*people than that of Abra- ham Lincoln. “Washington fough to give us this nation, rusrentesing fights to the citi- zen, never obtain nor exercised by any; other people; Lincoln struggled to keep it as a@ goverriment of the people, for the people and, by the people. “Jefferson taught the simple truths necessary for the happiness of a demo- cratic people; Lincoln applied these truths to the troubles of his time and ‘steered'the ship of state into a peace- ful harbor. ‘Jackson thundered against and over- came the evils of his day; Lincoln, with aheart ready for any: fate, breathed a new force into the.doctrines of Jackson. ‘‘We preserved Mount Vernon !n mem- ory of Washington. the Mecca for the followers of Jeffer- son. The Hermitage is kept as when old Hickory lived. and worked and wrought. Save for an occasional monu- ment, there is no suitable memorial to Lincoln, whose fame grows brighter as the years go by.” — *‘Here on this farm, 100 years’ ago to- day, was born the strongest, strangest, gentlest character the republic has ever known. His work .was destined te have @ more far-reaching influence than any that went before him. Until recently this spot, which should be hallowed by every American, Was unnoticed and abandoned. Inspired by the idea that due regatd for the apostle of human liberty who sprang from this soil de- manded the preservation of his birth- place, a few patriotic mien organized the Lincoln Farm Association to purchase this property and to erect upon it a memorial to that simple, but sublime life that here came into the world. “This association is purely patriotic in. its purposes and the movement has met with a ready response from every section of the nation. The governors of nearly all the states have appointed commissioners to co-operate in this work. The South has responded as gen- erously as the Nortn. In revering the name of LAncoln there is now no North or South nor East nor West. There is but one heart in all and that the heart of patriotic America. “So the memorial to be erected here by South as well as North will not only be in memory of Lincoln, but it will be a testimony that the fires of .hatred ‘kindled by the fierce civil Conflict of nearly half a century ago are dead and from the ashes has arisen the red rose of patriotism to a common country and loyalty to a common flag. It will be a monument in the forward progress of a nation dedicated to the liberty and happiness of mankind. “It is appropriate that these dedica- tion exercises, participated in by repre- sentatives of every part of the nation, should be held upon the centenary of Lincoln’s birth. We have not come so much to dedicate this ‘ground, but to set it apart as’ a gift to the American people as a lasting memorial to the matchless American. The man born here has already consecrated this piace. It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task Sefore us that this nation should not be preserved merely to fall before the enemies of peace, but that it shall be made free from the things that dishonor and oppress. The in- spiration of high citizenship must ever

mmon effort to save their. common country. » He lived in days that were great and terrible, when brother fought igainst brother for what each sincerely deemed to .be the right. In a contest so grim the strong men who alone can carry it through are rarely able to do justice to the deep convietions of those with whom they grapple in mortal strife. At such times men see through a glass darkly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits is vouchsafed that clear vision which grad- ually comes to all, even to the lesser, as the struggle fades into distance, and wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps back to the hearts that were hurt. Striggled Against Foes Without Hate or Bitterness UT to Lincoln was given this su- RB preme vision. He did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness was as foreign as wickedness to his strong, gentle nature; but his courage was of a quality so high that it needed no bolstering of dark passion. He saw clearly that the same high qual- ities, the same courage, and willingness for self-sacrifice, and devotion to the right as it was given them to see the right, belonged to the men of the North: and to the men of the Soutb. As the years roll by, and as all of us, wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self-de- votion, alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nafion will grow to feel a pecuilar sense of pride. in, the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for the freedom of a race; the lover of his country and of all mankind; the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty days, Abraham Lincoln.

IMStLE IN HIS ChICAGO HOME - Joseph F. Kohout Found Dead in Basement With Revol- ver Near Him.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—Alderman Joseph F. Kohout, long a Democratic leader in the City Council, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in the basement of ‘his home, 737 Douglas boulevard, early today. He had gone to the basement while his wife was preparing breakfast. As he’ did not return she went in search of ter husband and found him dead, with. a@ revolver by his side. He was partially dressed, and the im- pulse to commit suicide seemed to have come to him suddenly. Alderman Kohout was a candidate for re-election and was a participant in a spirited contest brought against him for the«seat in the Council. Disappointment over the failure of his ward ciub to indorse him for re- nomination is supposed to have prompt- ed the suicide. Several Democrats of the ward, under the new primary law, had filed petitions to go on the ticket as the regular Democratic. nominee of the ward. Alderman Kohout sought the indorsement of his ward organization, but at a meeting last night it was denied him, His associate in the Council, Al- derman Nolan, also ts said to have op- posed his re-election and his defeat seemed probable. - During the term of Mayor Dunne, Alderman Kohout had been one of his ‘staunchest supporters and was one of the leaders of the Council. He was a lawyer and about 50 years old. A wife and two children survive. During his incumbency as Alderman he had frequently given way to spectac- ular outbursts of anger. PRISON FOR FRAUDULENT VOTER Seventeenth Man Convicted of Fraud in November Election.

Sales have just been concluded which are expected to give more impetus to the realty boom in downtown Seventh street. Aggregating approximately $500,- 000 and presaging big improvements for this section, they involve the change of ownership of three of the most valu- able holdings in this section of the street. Clients of the Mercantile Trust Co. have purchased 61 feet on the east side of Seventh street. Col. Ed Butler ac- quired the 36x75 foot holding of Aygust and Herman C. G. Luyties at 410-412 North Seventh street at $144,000. The name of the purchaser and the price of the adjoining 25x75 feet strip is with- held. The third purchase was that of a 99-year lease of the ground and building on the opposite side of the street, oc- cupied by the Silver Grill Restaurant, by Thomas Dunn, at $170,000. Mr. Dunn owns the adjoining property. It is undérstood the purchases in- volve immediate building plans. Col. Butler’s purchase establishes a new big high record for land values in Seventh street. As a leading street between Olive street and Washington avenue, opera- tors are discounting future § realty values on central Seventh street. The Holbrook-Black welder Real Estate Trust Co. has a 99-year lease on Col. Butler’s acquisition. The John A. Watkins Realty Co. rep- resented the Luyties. Seventh street, according to operators, received its impetus when Hess & Cul- bertson leased the building formerly oc- cupied by the Mills Cloak Co. at the Northwest corner of Seventh and St. Charles streets. It was denied Friday that Col. Butler had also purchased the fee to the new building and site of the Busy Bee Candy Co., on the west side of the street be- tween Lecust and St. Charles streets. C.

KITCHEN CABINET; ALL FAT Le Bourgeois Charter Member of Regime That Succeeds Animal Tamers.

HE WEIGHS 280 POUNDS

Best of All, He Was President: Elect’s Classmate at Yale.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ing Bill McDonald, Catch-Em-Alive John Abernathy and other desirable citizens whose titles wouldn’t be al- lowed in the-mails, are to be succeeded in the presidential favor March 4 by the Taft Rough Riders—otherwise known as the Yale Class of 1878. The Leans will retire in favor of the Fats. Louis Le Bourgeois, who is Sheriff of St. James Parish, Louisiana, and who upsets the scales at 280 pounds, is the charter member. He has been se- lected as one of the aides to the grand marshal of the civic parade at the inaugural ex- ercises. Had he weighed 10 pounds more he might have been grand marshal himself. Le Bourgeois graduated from Yale in 1878 with Taft, and has been taking on weight ever’ since. His friends admit that ' he has never wrestled with a catamount, but they as- Sert that when the sun strikes him it spreads a shadow all over New Orleans. They have been boosting him for a Cab- inet position and still have hopes. Taft Meets Old Comrades, Dispatches from New Orieans describe a pathetic meeting Thursday President-elect Taft and Le Bourgeois. Taft hadn't seen the Louisianan for years, but he recognized him in the bu'k the moment he landed at New Orleans. “Why, there’s my old friend, Le Bour- geois,’’ exclaimed the President-elect, grasping the hand of a man who was nearly as large amidships as him- self. “Howdy, Bill,”’ responded Le Bourgeois. ‘‘How much you weigh?’ “Got you, beaten to a frazzle, Louis,’’ said Mr. Taft. “Two hun- dred and ninety.”’ “Soft pedal on the frazzle, Bill. I weigh 280 and Km still eating.’’ ‘Well, you have something to look forward to,” said Mr. Taft. Then he called to Mrs. Taft, my old classmate at Bourgeois.’”’ While Mrs. Taft was, inspecting the Sheriff the President-elect remarked: “You can tell by looking at him that he was in my class, all right.” UNIDENTIFIED MAN DROPS DEAD AS HE STARTS TO ENTER HOTEL An unidentiifed man dropped dead as he was ascending the steps leading to the Iowa Hotel, 819 Market street, early Friday. «he police believe the death was natural, but. the Coroner has been asked to investigate. The body was re- moved to the Morgue. The man appeared to be 45 years old. He was 6 feet tall and weighed 200 pounds. He was smooth-shaven, with dark brown hair and light complexion. He wore a black suit, black overcoat and a black slouch hat. His shirt was of striped material and he carried an um- brella. He had nothing but 15 cents in his pockets. A. A. Doolittle, in charge of the hotel, told the police he saw the man stag- gering up the steps. The latter tried to say something, gasped for breath and fell dead when half way UP.

between | (DIES REFUSING TO TELL HOW ft WAS WOUNDED Nicholas H. Dean Would Not Allow Doctor to Minister to Him. Refusing to tell his nearest friends how he received the hurts from which he died soon after being questioned and refusing to let a pbysician treat him, Nicholas H. Dean died of a fractured skull Thursday afternoon at 1519 South Vandeventer avenue. That Dean had been in a fight some- where and had been roughly handled was indicated from his blackened and swollen eye, his lacerated hand, a bruise on his chest and the blood on his cloth- ing when he returned to his home Tues- day forenoon. But whether he was fatally hurt in this fight or fell and split his skull is in doubt. For two days Dean suffered. In that time his friends took a physician twice to see him, but he refused to be exam- ined. His friends begged him to tell with whom he had fought, and only a half-hour before he died, his nearest friend, John Shea, with whom he lived, asked him to tell how he was hurt, but he refused. Letters From Danghter Found. Dean was 53 years old and a widower. It ts not known that he had relatives in St. Louis, but he has a daughter, Ada Dean, who lives at 24 Mitchell place, Mount Auburn, a suburb of Cin- cinnati. Letters from her were found in his trunk. Dean was a tobacco twister and had worked for years in the factory of the American Tobacco Co. at Folsom and Tower Grove avenues. He was some- times seen under the influence of liquor and was subject to fits. About two months ago he fell in one of these at- tacks, while walking on the street and bruised his eye. Wednesday of work. “Monday was in Redmond’s Vandeventer ayenue, morning at 1 o’clock, when the saloon was closed. He left the place, saying that he was goheg to his room, which was directly above the_ saloon. To reach his room he had to go to the street, walk north to the first door ad- joining the saloon and go upstairs. Adjoining this door was another door exactly like it that led up to a vacant flat over Cannon’s”~ restaurant. This door was unlocked. Slept in Vacant Flat. Tuesday morning after 2 o'clock the night man in this restaurant went up to the vacant flat and saw a man asleep on the floor. Tuesday morning at 6 o’clock Cannon went up to the vacant flat and saw the man on the floor, but he did not look into his face. At 8 o’clock Dean came again into Redmond’s saloon with his face battered anu soot on his clothing. Later it was found that where Dean had lain on the floor there was a lot of soot. At 11 o’clock Dean went to his room. Mr. Shea called Dr. W. H. Reim, 3904 Folsom avenue, to see him, but Dean told the doctor to go away, and when he pressed him for an explanation as to how he was hurt, he said: “It’s none of your business, go and ieave me alone.”’ He died at 2 o’clock Thursday after- noon. AFTER-EFFECTS OF THE GRIP This Elkhart Woman's Experience Is of Value to Those Who Still Suffer. The danger from grip is seldom over when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headache and the depression of spirits pass away. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired di- gestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration and even consumption. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during convalescence. hac Alfred Shook, living on R. F. D. 2, Elkhart, Ind., went through an sapere which should be of value to many grip sufferers. She says: “A year ago this winter I had an attack of the grip and was sick from its after-effects all through the sum- mer. After about a month I became so weak and rium down that I was obliged to go to bed where I stayed for three months. I suffered from pains in my head, through the tem- ples and in the back of my neck. } also had awful backaches. I didn’t have any appetite and there was @i- Ways a pain in my stomach. It seemed aS though I was hungry all of the time but couldn’t eatpganything. I was com- petely run dowh and lost a great deal in weight. “I tried several medicines with no help and wag under a doctor’s care, but he did not cure me. My neighbors told me about Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills and I gave them a trial. It was not many days before I felt better and I took the pills. until [ was entirely cured. I have gained in Weight and do not have @ sick day now. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain the e!ements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their nourish- ment from the blood, have been found invaluable in a wide range of: diseases of the blood and nerves, such as rheu- matism, after-effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia, St. Vitus’ dance even partial paralysis and locomotor’ ataxia.

GIRL-BRl YOUNG HUSBAND ARE RELEASED Assistant Prosecutor Refuses to Issue Warrant Sought by Father. A boy and 15-year-old bride, who be- gan their honeymoon in the police hold- over at the request of the bride's father, were released at noon J*riday by order of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Falk- to prosecute enhainer, who refused them, They were locked up Thursday. Friday the father and mother of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. John Hammerle of 2563 Ben- ton street, called on Falkenhainer and demanded a warrant for their daughter. “What do you want done with her?” asked Falkenhainer. “We want her sent to the Girls’ Re- formatory at Chillicothe,” answered Mr. Hammerle. “I'll do nothing of the kind,”’ said Falkenhainer. “‘You ought to be ashamed to ask it. Your daughter ts married, she seems to be satisfied and her husband seems to be a decent young man. I shall stand between you and your daughter and shall not permit you to make trouble for her and ruin her life. I shall order the police to dis- charge them at once.” And he did so. The bride, who was Rosie Hammerle, is 15-years old. She left home Wednes- day and married Fred Young, 19 years old, of 1116 North Broadway. When the couple went to Mr. Ham- merles home Thursday to ask forgive- ness, the father cailed a policeman and had ~kath arrested. The police offi- cials anid Assistant Prosecutor Falken- hainer, sympathizing with the young couple, tried to coax the father to make the best of the marriage and forgive his daughter, but he insisted that they should be locked up. He declared that he would prosecute them both for mak- ing oath that they were of age, when they got their license to marry. Mr. and Mrs. Hammerle never saw the young man their daughter married until Thursday, when they walked into the house arm in arm and smiling. ‘‘Mamma and papa, this is my hus- band, Mr. Young,’’ said Rosie, as she blushingly presented her husband. Mr. Hammerle stormed. While the AT CITY BANQUET FOR W. TAFT It Is-Made of Fish, Wine, Gar- lic, Onions, Bay Leaves and Other Things.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12.—Today be- ing Friday, fish will be a notable feat- ure of the great banquet tonight in honor of President-elect Taft, the city’s guest, and in the serving of fish to-a distinguished visitor New Orleans will, in a culinary sense, be at her best, for with the oyster-producing waters of lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, and many bayous and inlets and banks of the Mexican Gulf to draw from, this city has available a marvelous variety of the finest fish in the world. The recipe for “bouillabaisse,’’ one of the principal dishes, includes six slices of red snapper, six slices of red fish, half a bottle of white wine, half a lemon, six large fresh tomatoes, three onions, three sprigs .of garlic and three bay leaves. This is the dish that drew from Thackary the remark that “in New Orleans you can get a bouilla- baisse the like of which was never eaten in Marseilles or Paris.’’ Will Dat Things “A la Creole.” The reception .to the President-elect having been well accomplished, all en- ergies were directed today toward the final details in connection with the ban- quet tonight. With 1000 subscribers at $25 a plate, the committee having the affair in charge directed the chefs to do their best in their ‘‘a la: creole” preparations and to spare no expense. Today’s program includes a reception at Pelican Park, under the auspices of the local negro Y. M. C. A., an auto- mobile tour of the city, followed by luncheon at the Country Club, and the banquet at 7:30 p. m., Demonstration at Joe Bone’s.

Duties of Office Will Devolve on Secretary in Executive’s Absence. SALEM, Ore., Feb. 12—When Gov. George E. Chamberlain goes to Wash- ington to be sworn in as United States Senator, the acting Governor of Oregon will be a woman. | It is understood that Gov. laine does not intend to relinquish the he takes the (chamber- office of Governor until oath as Senator. Consequently there will be a period during which he will still be Governor after he leaves the State. In the Governor’s absence from the State it has been the practice for the Governor's secretary to attend to of- ficial business, such as issuing officia) éocuments and signing the Governor's name. W. N. Gatens, the present secretary, it is understood, is slated for a judge- ship and will be succeeded .as: secretary by Mrs. C. B. Shelton, who for several years has been the Governor’s stenog- rapher, and as the precedent will be fol- lowed, Mrs. Shelton will be the acting Governor.

See Walk To Your Meals Like a Man Eat What You Will and Learn to Enjoy Food And to Digest It. HERE’S THE SECRET, FREE. Make up your mind after reading this that you.will let the next meal hold no terrors for you. You can enjoy it. You can digest it. All that is needed is to give nature the juices she lacks, to give the stomach a chanee to remove the terrible irritating acids, alkalies and gases which turn food and nourishment into gas and de- composition. When a system is run down and de- pleted it needs building up. Ashes won't rekindle a fire and wrong digestive fluids will not take proper Juices from food no matter how good the food is. Is this common sense? Men spend years and even life experimenting an the human system, what it lacks in dis- ease and what it needs in perfection. This knowledge is known to every phy- sician or should be. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are compressed natural vegeta. bleand fruit essences which when mixed with the saliva of the mouth go into the stomach capable of digesting a full meal and they digest it to the utter- most shred. en such a meal does u man good and it gives to him the means to overcome stomach troubles.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—A long-horned cow belonging to Edward La Guire, a dairyman of Northwest, a hamlet near Sag Harbor, L. I., suddenly went crazy ‘tuesday evening and killed five other cows before committing suicide. The crazed cow broke loose from her stall and attacked the others, goring them until they died. The noise at- tracted the dairyman and his workmen, but she turned upon them when they tried te drive her off. Fearing she might succeed in killing all his cows, La Gulre started for the house on a run to get a gun. Before he could return the cow had comitted sui- cide by butting her head against an up- right beam. A veterinarian believes she must have suffered frem rabies.

SR en

There is nothing that will convince a — except evidence, ow, here is some rather startling evidence of a simple home cure for eczema which convinced one lawyer, F. (. Entriken, attorney at Moline, III. He tells how oil of wintergreen com- pound mixed with thymol and glycer- ine, as in D. D. D. Prescription, cured him in thirty days after thirty-two years of suffering. “For 32 years,” writes Attorney En- triken, “I was troubled with eczema, scabs all over my face, body and head. I could run @ hair brush over my body and the floor would be covered with scales enough to fill a basket. I tried nk fea. salves, internal medicine. X-Ray—all without result.” “Just a month ago I was induced to try D. D. D. Prescription. The itch was relieved instantly ; so I continued. It is just a month now and I am com- pletely cured. I have not a particle of itch and the scales have dropped off.” “I_qgn only say again CURE DIS- COVERED. I am now starting all eczema sufferers on the right track.” Cure after cure has been brought to our attention and always that instant relief from the awful itch, <A free sample bottle may be obtained by writing direct to the D.

The 16 far-from-musicians, as they marched about the hall, looked like eight exaggerated pairs of stage come- dians. Their horns were twisted in more ways than a pretzel, and the sound came frem small kazoos, con- cealed by the great “phony” saxophones and trombones. The marchers wore “dinky” hats and gingham knee pants, were padded to the pillow-carrying ca- pacity of each man, and their faces were masked oF covered with paint and whiskers. Dr. Otto J. Fruth led the first bana and Julius Rombauer, E. A. Gessler. John E. Cramer, Charles B. Nofris, Wilbur Logemann, Julius Hart and Walter Medart were the other members. In the second band were H. Stein- meyer. M. A. Issler, M. Tompsett, Charles Niemeyer, Paul A. Greeninger, Carl Strauss, Joseph A. Lynch ana B. J. Lynch. Mrs. George Held, costumed as “La Fille du Regiment.” tapped a drum proudly as she marched after the band. Misses Edmee Conrades, Edna Donk, Edith Gundlach, Margaret Stock. Paula Splegelhalter and Agnes Smith, as banjo girls, plink-planked their instry- ments in the rear of the Procession. A dancing bear and its master were a puszie to the other maskers until gomeone recognized Charles F Gallen- kamp as the man at the end of the string, and it was then learned that the tenant of the bear's coat was Mrs Gal- lenkamp. Capt. Ola W. Bell of Jefferson Bar- racks was on the floor as an army dandy, and Mrs. Bell's costume formed a German flag. Mrs. Joe Griesedieck and Mrs Frank Herold were no masks, but they were not recognized in their impersonations of Italian fruit venders.

SOFTEST NOTES HEARD

‘Conversational Voice of Speak- er Is Clear to Auditor in Farthest Seat.

A satisfactory test Thursday after- noon of the acoustics of the Coliseum, conducted by Guy Golterman, its man- ager, was witnessed by James E. Smith, president of the Business Men's League; E. C. Simmons, general manager of the St. Louis Symphony Society, and news- paper men. Mrs. Benjamin Chase, soloist, sang from a platform in the south end of the building. The slen@erest notes of the singer floated to the most distant seats of the great structure. A Post-Dispatch reporter, sitting in the last seat at the north end of the top gallery, heard the yoice of the singer when she went to high C in pianissimo. In other parts of the buiiding the acoustic properties proved equally good. There was little echo, and when the building is filled, as was shown in the Gipsy Smith meetings, there is no echo at all. It was the acoustic properties of the building that resultea in the engaging of Paderewski to play with the Sym- 7 phony Orchestra in the Coliseum on the night of March 10. It is the first _ ime the g. at pianist has ever played “tn a building with a seating capacity oe $500. It is also the first time that ee rg have played in America at popu- yk “pate not be accompanied by the orchestra during his recital, as the softest notes of the piano played during the test floated through the building perfectiy. The orchest.. will play be- tween the pianiat’s numbers. At. the conclusion of the test Mr. Gol- terman announced that negotiations were practically completed with the managers of the Metropolitan and Man- hattan opera companies of New York for their entire troupes of singers to be gent here. The voices of Caruso and Bonci, musicians and music lovers say, will be wonderful in the Coliseum, as the acoustics seem to get the best out of high voices. After Mrs. Chase had sung several solos,. Mr. Smith tested the acouStics for speaking purposes. He first talked fn a convention voice, which filled the building. Then he talked in a con-| po versational voice and every word could be heard in the last seat of the gallery opposite. He finally talked in a low ‘}. votee and only a few words were missed. “The acoustics of the buiiding,’’ said Mr. Smith, “will make it famous throughout the country and not only will ibe the convention city of Ameri- ca, but it will attract entertainments and amusement features of all kinds here. No one has ever discovered what makes the acoustic properties of a building good or bad. We cannot esti- - mate the yalue to the city of this happy accident in its construction.” Mr. Simmons, who is chiefly interested tin the Coliseum, as an aid to music paid: “The wonderful acoustics of the building will make posstble the main- taining on a self-supporting basis of a ‘®ymphony orchestra in St. Louis—some- thing that no city in the country has yet been able to de. It will also mean that we can place good music in the reach of the masses who cannot at present be accommodated in the Odeon.”’

Train dispatching by telephone was under discussion by the superintendents of telegraph of Western railroads at the Southern Hotel Friday, Thirty-five members of the Western division of su- perintendents of teiegraph are attend- ing the district convention. It is predicted by the leading men at the convention that the telephone will! eventually succeed the telegraph entire- ly in the dispatching of trains. The telephone system is now in use on the Pennsylvania, Rock Island and Chica- go, Burlington & Quincy railroads, and is said to be much more satisfactory than the telegraph. The district meeting was called by A. E. Chenery, superintendent of telegraph of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, who is chairman of the Western division of su- perintendents. In Shown by Models. Miniature devices, illustrating the telephone system, are on exhibition in rooms adjoining the convention. The railroad men are very much interested in the device which shows how the tele- phone system is used on a railroad di- vision of 100 miles. P. W. Drew, secretary of the General Association of Superintendents of Tele- graph, who is attending the convention, said: ‘Railroad men everywhere are inter- ested in the dispatching of trains by telephone. The system has proven en- tirely satisfactory where it has been tested, and it is mucn quicker and more convenient. The only thing against it now is the expense of installation. Eventually, however, I think the tele- phone will entirely supplant the tele- graph in the dispatching of trains.”’ BIG FARM TALK AT GUTHRIE, OK.

All the engineers on the isthmus, both visiting and resident, gave reasons for the locks as against the sea level ditch. What shocked and jarred was the ex- pedftion with which the visiting engi- neers arrived at their conclusions. They literally took two looks at the canal Boe a: he and gave three cheers for the lock sys- eet in TO NK “ tem.

in the engineers’ report to the President for continuing the work as at present are these: 1. The Chagres River, which winds its Way across the isthmus, must supply the water for the middle section of which is more than one- half its length. The rainy season here extends over eight months. In that time the Chagres becomes rampant, rising often as high as 27 feet. With a lock system and the Gatun dam, a lake of 170 square miles is formed. The greatest rise ever Known on the isth- mus would raise this lake only, two feet, and the lake itself would deaden any current. 2. If a sea level canal were dug, all

of this overflow would have to be di- verted by canals. Even if the Chagres River were eliminated from the plan the downpour from the hills would flood the canal. This would cause a current in the narrow channel, before which big ships, having no seaway, would be helpless. The difference in tide

Mr. faft found nothing in the admin- istration of the canal zone that called for radical correction. ‘There will not be the “shake up” after his return Positively curedithat has followed his other trips. by Sane | Little BAD HUMOR HEALS, l They also re- teve of LATE, ind! iis X-Zalia Soap and X-Zalia Liquid Make Wonderful Skin Cure in Albany, N.

PLAYS TOPER ON STAGE: BECOMES UNE; ENDS LIFE Charles Warner Was Fasci- nated by Character He Por- trayed in “Drink.”

FELT PART HE PLAYED Beginning as a Teetotaler He Became the Sot Drawn by Author of Drama. ~ Leased Wire From the New York ad ‘Gomen of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—A dramatic example of the irony of fate was re- corded when Charles Warner, the noted English actor in “Drink,” a thrilling temperance drama, strangled himself te death in his apartments at the Hotel Seymour yesterday. . Warner, who through all the years of this presentation of “Drink” was a tee- the lure of been drinking heavily. The terrible fas- cination of his own portrayal of the horrors of drink was pictured by War- r in'a statement in Seftember, 1902, t the very height of his fame. Up (that time he had acted in “Drink” over five thousand times. He said: “The tremendous force of the pas- sion comes upon me when I am play- ing the part of Coupean, whose un- happy ending (in the play) many of those who read this are aware of. _-In the fifth act E— am lured to a “bottle of brandy which, in the char- acter of Coupean, I am obliged to resist. Nevertheless, when I set eyes on the shimmering liquor scintillat- ing and flashing in the glass, a most ~ insatiable appetite to drink it comes ‘over me. 4 “If I appear to be in earnest in my caressing affection for the devil- ' ash curse, it is because I feel so. _ When I realize how intensely invit- ying these fictitious intoxicants be- come to me on the stage I can un- derstand:in a measure what a crav- ing for real liquor must mean to these -unfortunates who are its slaves.’’. In the play Coupean dies of delirium ‘tremens in sight of the audience. » Warner's friends say the play by its intensity’ finally wrecked the old actor’s mind. . His impersonations were among the most vivid in the history of the ‘@rama. He left a queer note pinned to ‘® door in his room. It read: Na Hounded to death by thieves, liars 7 and‘ blackmailers.

Several years ago Warner was robbed of $2500 in jewels at his hotel. Warner's body was found hanging by a strap around the neck. His son, Harry Warner, an actor in “The Battle’ at the Savoy, was so unnerved by the tragedy that he could not act last night. Warner was 66 years old and a wid- ower. His son, Harry, the actor, was his only child. He was a member of the Lambs Club and it was said there last night that he had been melancholy recently. —_—___@——___—_- Drinks Quart of Whisky, Dies.

You can always tell him by the glass visor on his cap—open when It’s cold and closed when it’s warm. He is afflicted at times with an uncontrollable impulse to give away money. So he comes up here.”’ “I didn’t know there were any women lobbyists,’’ said the fare from Cape Gir- ardeau. “Here comes a whole bunch carrying hatchets and seltzer bottles.” ‘“‘Prohibition,”” said Megaphone. ‘‘They haven’t quite Carried the Nation yet, but they’ve got nearly everything south of us.

That he discovered nothing in the appearance of the stranger to awaken alarm was manifest by his ordering no change in our course, and so we bore straight down, passing the other within less than half a mile. We were all thered upon deck, but the reward was a small one. The stranger wes evidently a whaler long out from home, a small brig, dirty and disrep- utable, with blunt bows and sails patched and almost black from smoke. An array of various colored flannels flapped in the rigging, and a dozen hairy-faced sailors stared at us cu- riously over the rail. One _ fellow, wearing a: great mackintosh cap, clung recklessly to a backstay, and hafled. his voice clear, yet the merest thread of sound. Tuttle stood on the bridge. motionless, making no an- swer, and so we swept past them like a phantom. Three hours later the last faint gleam of thefr dingy can- vas had disappeared to the north- ward, CHAPTER XVI. In Which De Nova Speaks. W with now occurred came upon us with such suddenness that I find it difficult ‘to relate the incidents in detail. We must have been below the fiftieth degree of south latitude, and about one hundred and thirty-five de- grees west, with the wind strong and occasionally puffing up into squalls, bearing flakes of snow which stung ex- posed flesh and left a *thin mantie of white along the decks. There was no ice in sight, and we were running free under reefed canvas, the yacht keeling over as the breeze freshened. until the smother came tearing past within a foot of the lee rail. The sky overhead was clear, the air cold and nipping, a dense cloud of fog hanging just above the wa- ter to the southwest, and the unmistak- able blink of ice straight ahead. It was Tuttle’s watch below, and as I paused in the protection of the com- panionway looking forward, while I got my pipe going. I could see De Nova on the bridge, wrapped up like a mum- my, and crouching well down behind the tarpaulins. The deck watch were grouped under the overhang of the forecastle, eo their feet and threshing their hands about to keep warm. All about was a wild sea scene, never to be looked upon amid any other stretch of waters on the globe. Big Bill Anderson, his head still bound up where I had cracked him, slouched in the doorway of the chart house, staring aft, and a moment later De Nova came lum- bering down the steps from the bridge and spoke with him for some time earnesiy. I could hear the muttering of their voices, and see the creole’s gesticulations, but nothing definite reached me except an occasional gruff oath. The boatswain finally went for- ward, clinging to a lifeline to keep foot- ing on the Slippery deck, and the sec- ond officer clawed along the weather rail until he reached the companion. ‘I would like to have a talk wiz you, Monsieur Stephens,"’ he said, quite re- of the vessel. ‘‘We'’re a bit bozzered spectfully, swaying to the wild leaps w'at to do, Anderson an’ me,” he be- gan, evidently ill at ease and scarcely knowing how to express himself, ‘‘an’ so we talk it ovaire, an’ decide maybe we bettah speak wiz you about it now, before ze mattaire get mor’ bad, or ze men forward catch on to ze facts an’ get ugly.

T IS an astounding fact, one not gen- erally known, that one-quarter of all’ the blind children in all the blind schools of this country are unnecessar- lly blind. These children have been doomed to lifelong darkness because at the time of their birth their eyes were not properly washed and treated by thé attending physician or midwife. ' There is no excuse for such negfigence On the part of the physician it is due to carelessness; on the part of the mid- wife to carelessness or ignorance. The disease is known as ophthalmia neonatorum, or ophthalmia*of the new- born, or infant ophthalmia. It is an in- fectious disease, appearing at the time of birth, easily preventable if precau- tionary measures are taken at once, or within a few hours after birth: curable, if when it develops skilled medical treat- ment can be secured quickly; fatal to sight if prompt preventive and curative measures are not taken, and ending in tots! blindness through the destruction of the eyeballs. te Twenty-eight years ago, in 1881, Prof. Crede of Leipsic, director of the Mater- nity Hospital connected with the Uni- versity, announced the important dis- covery that a 2 per cent solution of ni- trate of silver dropped, a single drop, into each eye of a new-born infant, would destroy the germs of ophthalmia neonatorum where these existed, and would not injure the sight of healthy eyes. Crede’s figures show surprising results. In 188, just before and just after the application of his newly dis- (evened preventive measure, the per-

Magnates in Ba de * a ROM the reporte that have been circulated over the country, it seems that Barney Dreyfuss, Gwner of the Pittsburg club, is trying to hook the few remaining stars of the rdinals baseball team with the self- h purpose of making a championship Glub of the Pirates. Wise fans never did believe that Roger Bresnahan would let any of his live’ ones get away from fim and are glad to learn that he has denied that Byrne and Koney are to be * traded. ~The only reason the rumor seemed plausible was because Owner M. Stan- ley Robison bobbed up in Pittsburg the other day when no one expected him to be there. He apparently slipped into the smoky town quietly as though ie were a party to heinous crime, and some Wise critic spied him and pictured the ‘erime at once as a trade of Bobby Byrne and Ed Konetchy for a whole bundle of Pirate discards. But Bresnahan has said there’s noth- ing doing, and, as Roger is declared boss of the team in all such matters, the fans of St. Louis may rest easily n. It would be sensible to trade Byrne for Tommy Leach, but the most enthusiastic reoters for the Cardinals declare that nothing short of Frank Chance would do for Ed Konetchy. It’s hard to see how Robison and Bresnahan can entertain ideas of any ‘trading whatever, for the only material they have that is not needed would not bring a good swap in the American As- sociation. Chance to the Cubs’ Rescue. | T was a good thing for the Cubs —— and for Owner Charley Murphy that outsiders stepped in and closed the breach between Manager Frank and Chubby Charles. The Chi- cago National League club is the great- est baseball team that has been in ex- istence in years and years and many think the best club that was ever or- ganized. Chicago should be proud of it and is, but there are enemies to the t team who apparently are trying it to pleces. \murphy are ) Néw that Chance and BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. reconciled, it is possible the team will pull through the ordeal of facing charges that threaten to break it up. Chance is as powerful in the Wind) City as the Mayor and is loved. by every citizen because of his heroic work for the past three years. Murphy is not one-quarter the figure in that club that the ‘‘Peerless Leader’’ is and unless they pull together, the fate of the team is sealed. Ban Johnson, president of the Amer- ican League,. seems to be the chief ag- gressor against the Chicago Nationals, and only yesterday is quoted as saying that it’s time that Charles W. Murphy be eliminated from baseball. That’s a strong statement to make, and Big Ban may be called upon to explain his reason for it at the meeting next week, and with Frank Chance standing up for Murphy, Ban will find that he has stepped into the mire. Without the support of Chance, Murphy’s days as leader of the club might soon be over. Cubs’ Success Hurts Ban. Johnson is distressed over the result of the world’s series the past two years, when the champions of his league were mutilated by the Cubs in such a man- ner that it would appear the two leagues were in a different class. He holds two or three trump cards, to play against Murphy because of carelessness and hasty actions by the latter, and Johnson knows how to play his cards, too. The ticket scandal of the last world’s series, when it seemed there was some- thing crooked in the selling of the tick- ets to the Chicago games, and the al- leged ‘“‘four-flush” of Murphy in asking the Commission to let him present the Cubs with a $10,000 bonus, have passed away as far as the public is concerned. Murphy has stated positively he wii give the bonus, and the National Com- mission has tried the ticket scandal and found no one guilty 6f anything further than careless business methods. But Ban Johnson is going to dig up the dead issue and bring the odor into the game again with the intention of downing Murphy. HARD TASK FOR ST.

Cutler is a promising young heavy- weight, about whom little is known lo- cally. He is said to be strong and knows the game.

The big Turk has already beaten Olsen, Beell, Jenkins and other good American men, and algo Raoul de Rouen, the big Frenchman whom Gotch is to wrestle next week in Chicago. Mahmout Strikes Snag. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 12.—Dis- playing neither science, strength nor trickery enough to worry Henry Orde- man, Yussif Mahmout, “heralded as the next man to meet Frank Gotch, could not throw the local man in 45 min- utes of work last night. The Turk had agreed to toss Ordeman twice in that time. The bout was largely a trial of strength between two men who were almost equal in weight. It was almost the universal opinion in the crowd that the Turk has not tne class to tackle Gotch. He may have been covering up last night, or he may have struck @ man whom even his clos- est admirers underestimate. At any event, he had no show of fulfilling his agreement with Ordeman.

His first class in baseball science was having an uproarious discussion, and Charlie Murphy had just replied with a telling argument on the second button from the bottom of Ban Johnson's vest when proceedings were stopped, without any conclusion having been reached, by Herr Owgoost’s arrival. “Mr. Comiskey,”’ he began, “‘will you kindly tell long jump record in baseball?’’ “Easy. Mr. Murphy of the Cubs is the culprit. $25,000 a year.’’ “Mr. Comiskey, what is meant by correspondence?” “Well, Teacher, that depends. It means alimony, generally, if made public; sometimes a new guest of the State.” “Now, Mr. Johnson, tell the class Whether you attempted to purchase the Cubs, as Mr. Murphy charges?’’ “I will confess,’’ replied Ban, ‘‘that I know a good thing when I see it.” “How do you reconcile your efforts to the fact that you hold a position of trust under the American League?’’ “I figured that $40,000 a year would reconcile me to most anything, even work. Besides, the sum would serve to keep my tears back, in case I had to give up my salary as president.

FIRST LOVE A ROMANCE

Beautiful Girl Wed American Tobacco Official After At- tending Him as Nurse. Leased Wire From the New York i Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, ‘ Rut NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Mrs. Alice Halliwell, the pretty young widow of Charles E. Halliwell, formerly of St. Louis, who was first vice-president of the American Tobacco Co., is to marry Wm. Porter, @ Wall street broker. Until a little less , than three years ago Mrs. Halliwell was almost unknown in New York. As Ruth Alice Cole, a professional nurse, she received a sum- mons one day, through a nurses’ bureau, to the bedside of Mr. Halliwell, who then occupied expensive apartments in the Hotel Majestic. Mr. Halliwell, a widower, had undergone a serious op- eration. His children were out of town and he “needed the best of attention. That was three years ago. Under the skillful nursing of Miss Cole, Mr. Halli- well soon recovered sufficiently to en- able him to gd to Hot Springs, Va. Miss Cole accompanied Mr. Halliwell in a private car. After a sojourn there of several weeks he felt well enough to return to his office. Once back in New York he soon collapsed. Again Miss ‘Cole was summoned and a trip to Po- land Springs, Me., for the summer was made. On their way back to New York ‘there was a brief sojourn at Saratoga. Recomes Daughter's Friend, Meanwhile Miss Cole had become the companion and friend of Mr. Halliwell’s daurghter, the wife of Holland Duell of the law firm of Duell, Warfield & Duell of ® Rector street, who has a summer home at New Rochelle. As the com- panion of his daughter, Mr. Halliwell continued to see much of Miss Cole and soon the engagement of the nurse and the. millionaire was announced. Upon returning to New York after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Halliwell went to live at the Majestic where they entertained exténsively. When entertain- ing a party of friends at dinner in the Holland House seven months after his marriage—or on May 6, 1907—Mr. Halli- well was stricken with apoplexy. Mr. Porter, who was-one of the guests, as- sisted in removing his friend to a suite in the hotel, where he died without re- gaining consciousnéss. When Mr. Halliwell’s will was read it Was found he had left an estate werth nearly $5,000,000. Of this his widow re- one-quarter in trust. One-half was bequeathed outright to his daugh- ter, Mrs. Duell, and the ether quarter was left in trust to his only son, Wal- ter 8. Halliwell of New Canaan, Conn., ‘the principal to be paid to him upon his thirty-fifth birthday, 12 years dis- tant, There was no objection to the pro- / bate of the will. Has Eatertained Thia Winter. After her husband’s death Mrs. Hal- Hiwell was in seclusion until this win- ter, when she returned to town and teok apartments in the Hotel Plaza. There she has entertained moderately. Mr. Porter who was at the deathbed 3 of Mr. Halliwell, came to New York sev- eral years ago from Louisville, Ky. He is connected with the brokerage firm of W. L. Lyons & Co., 48 Exchange place. The wedding will take place in the apartments of the bride-elect in the Plaga next Tuesday evening. Only the _Telatives of the two families will be Present and the Rev. Dr. Townsend will make the beautiful ex-nurse a bride for the second time. After the wedding, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Porter will go abroad for ®@ four-months' trip. Mrs. Halliwell said today: _ “There is little to tell about my ap- marriage. I think that the issued today tells the whole = | stery. I have known Mr. Porter for sev- eral years. As a matter of fact. he wes one of my late husband's most inti- friends.”’ In celebration of the approachin & mar- -Tiage, Mrs. Halliwe!! entertained a par- ® ty of relatives and friends at dinne 4} r] : | : r last

NEWLYWEDS SEND FOR POLICE wr Marshals Guard Home of Bridegroom Visited Two Nights in Succession.

Edward Hilliard, a Maplewood con- tractor, turned in a riot call Thursday night, asking the authorities to pro- tect him from a charivari party. Mar- shals Heydeen and Coops hurried to the Hilliard home and stood guard there until thé revelors dispersed. Hilliard and Mrs. Syntha ‘Ann Ter- rell were married at Clayton Sunday. It was his third matrimonial venture and her second. This suggested a charivari, and 60 young men of Maplewood marched to Hilliard’s home on Hazel street. Some carried torches and others made the night hideous with tin pans and bells. Though the party kept up the din for two hours, Hilliard and his wife did not appear. Wednesday night the crowd returned. Hilliard was waiting for them this time. He was concealed behind the house with a garden hose and he turned the stream on the noisemakers. One of them grap- pled with Hilliard and gave him a taste ef his own cold water treatment. Refuse, to Buy Beer. As he was fleeing into the house the bridegroom struck his head against a porch post and was stunned. He fell and was deluged with water from the hose. Nursing the bump on his head and contemplating jhis wet clothing, Hilllard reached the conclusion that the fun had gone far enough. The crowd yelled fer him to buy a keg of beer. “No, I won't,” he said. “I am a Christian and I won’t encourage beer drinking. Besides, I wouldn’t give you anything after the way you have treat- ed me.”’ The jokers marched to the house in force Thursday night, but they fled when they caught sight of the mar- shals.

ONE MAN WANTS BATH

Other Prospective Visitors De- mand Garage, Valet, Scrap- ple and Cuisine, Specia! tc the Post-Dispatch. HODGENVILLE, Ky., Feb. 12.—There is one man of the 1349 souls in Hodgen- ville who is sorry that Abraham Lin- coln was born here 100 years ago today. He will hold a little celebration of his own when the hosts gathered here to celebrate the centennial save departed. He is a telegrapn operator. He is THE telegraph operator.« And for the past seven days he has telegraph op- erated more than he ever expected to telegraph operate before. For along the railroad wire that is strung into the little depot here have sped messages from every quarter of the country, put- ting Hodgenville for the first time on the telegraphic map and putting the lone operator in a condition which Jack Binns would describe as ‘‘jammed.”’ The incessant rattle of the telegraph instrument might have told a funny story to the telegraph operator if he ‘had had time to smile. For one thing, they showed how little the average New Yorker knows about the territory west of Broadway, and especially of how much they don’t know about the place where Lincoln was born. Wants Suite and Bath. Yesterday, for instance, this message from the metropolis paralyzed the man at the wire in Hodgenville: ‘‘Please reserve for us a suite of six rooms and a bath. Suite must front on main thoroughfare.’’ The operator took the message up the main thoroughfare, which is the only thoroughfare, to the proprietor of what the sign announces to be a hotel. “A suite and a bath?” inquired the astonished keeper of the village inn. ‘‘I ain’t got a suite, and if I had a bath— hell, I'd make money using it for ex- hibition purposes. You tell ‘em I can give them the hired girl’s room, and they can wash on the back porch. And you send the message collect, too.”’ This was the next one from New York: “Please see nearest garage keeper and arrange for five automobiles for our party. We will bring only one chauf- feur with us.” No “Garbage” There. The operator ‘‘broke’”’ word and asked Louisville, garage?’ “It’s a place where they candle eggs,”’ replied Louleville, promptly. “Your Postmaster might lend you one. Ask him.’’ The operator, telegram in hand, went back up the main thoroughfare. He found the town oracle whittling on a dry goods box, and delivered the mes- sage to him. ‘‘Someone’s trying to josh you, by Ju- das Priest,’’ was the oracle’s verdict. “Ain’t no garbage near here. May be some in Bowling Green. Let ’em bring their shover, though. Danged ef 1 wouldn’t like to see one myself.’’ Sandwiched in between a message from a member of the Governor’s staff on carriage arrangements and a “hurry” message from Cincinnati in- quiring about hotel rates came this one from New York City: “Can we park our automobiles and take our meals table d’hote or a la carte in one of the-ecity cafes? Please advise.”’ The-writer of the telegram could “park” all Hodgenville in a 10-acre field and still have room for crops. on the fourth “What's a Demand for Public Valet. Another from New York: ‘Can you arrange with public valet to serve party of five? Impossible to get sleeper accommodations for more than one servant. Rush answer.”’ The operator mopped his fevered brow and again made his way up the main thoroughfare to the village inn. Silently he laid the telegram before the pro- prietor. “You git out o’ nere,’” shouted the innkeeper. “‘No more o’ them messages for me. Game's closed.”’ A wealthy Boston man wired: “Advise at once as to cuisine at lead- ing hotel. Very particular about diet for elderly lady. Would it be advisable to dine at a delicatessen?” Philadelphian Wants Scrapple. And from Philadelphia came this mes- sage: “Ask head waiter at leading hotel be gure arrange to serve scrapple two meals for party six.” The village operator again appealed to Louisville: “What's scrapple?’ he asked. The laugh in Louisville could almost be heard over the wire. “Must be Philadelphia dialect something to eat,” was the reply. them a can of sardines.” When the authors of these telegrams reached Hodgenville fast night, in place of the white lights of Broadway they found a muddy sodden country road winding uncertainly through a little lane of ramshackle build-ngs that form the combined “residence” and “business” district of Hodgenville; in.place of sky- scrapers they found 10% huts typical ef that in which Abraham Lincoln was born; in place of automobiles they found farm wagons, rickety “surreys” and old- fashioned “carryalls;"’ and instead of champagne they dran% well water from gourds in the back yards, or, if they chose, . they knelt at the spring from which Lincoln drank when he was for “Fix TWO CLUBS HONOR SCHROERS Make Him Candidate for Freeholder to Revise Charter. Two civic organizations, the Million Population Club and the Business Men’s League, have honored John Schroers by naming him as a candidate for free-
