Bpecial to the Post-Dfspatch. CHICAGO; Feb. 13.—The remarkable confession of Angelina Schiavone, 16 years old, who robbed her father’s bank of about $50,000 and gave the money to her rélatives, because, she says, they promised to provide her with a husband, today was made public in part by the police. The girl confesses to stealing $20,000 and admits that she does not know how much more she stole. She recorded each theft in.a little ac- count book which she carried in the bosom of her dress and kept under her pillow at night, hoping day by day for the time that she might have the hus- band.

DENVER. Colo., Feb. 13.—Two masked bandits who had been hidden in the tender appeared in the engine cab of a Denver & Rio Giande passenger train, running 50 miles an hour near Denver at 3:15 o'clock this morning, forced the engineer to bring the train to a stop, and then, while one fired along the side of the train to keep the passengers from leaving the cars, the other looted the obtaining all the registered mail car, mail.

The train, No. 4, was due in at 10:45 o’clock last night, but hind time. It was running 50 miles an hour after passing Military Junction, between Fort Logan and Denver, when the two ban- }dits suddenly clambered into the cab from the tender and compelled the en- gineer to bring the train to a halt. , ‘Fired at Hendlight, The bandits took the two enginemen from the cab and, standing about % feet from the locomotive, one of the robbers fired three times at the head- light, hitting it twice, but not extin- guishing it. They fired a number of shots alongside the. coaches to intimi- date the passengers and train crew. The conductor appeared on the scene, and one of the bandits fired at him three times. He Was not wounded. With their two prisoners the two train robbers, one of whom is described as large and the other as small, then went to the door of the mail ear and com- pelled the fireman to call. out to the mail clerks to open the door. There were two clerks In the car and they were lined up beside the engineer, while one of the robbers forced the fire- man to help him put three sacks of reg- istered mail into one large mail sack. This he threw out of the car. The bandits marched their prisonere a short distance ahead of the train and then ordered them to proceed to Den- ver at full speed, threatening to shoot if they failed to comply. The bandits fled in the direction of Fort Logan, but it is believed they really made their way;to Denver. The train proceeded on to Santa Fe Junction, where the news of the hold- up ‘was telegraphed into Denver, and when the train arrived Nere the mail clerks notified the Postoffice Depart- ment. was compelled to enter out registered mail’ sacks.

Estimates of the amount obtained by the robbers vary and information on this point is very meager. Both clerks agree that only registered mail was taken, but they have no idea of the value of it. One of the packages taken is said to have been a package of cur- rency from a Salt Lake bank, and the amount it contained is estimated at from $1000 to $5000. The local authori- ties, however, say at present they do not know how much there was in this package.

Davis got inte position to jump off backwards, the way women get off street cars, but was afraid to jump. The train was stopped block further and Davis stepped off. That aroused Houser’s suspicions, but he said nothing. The two were locked up. When the detectives were looking over all the prisoners Detective FPlor- ence noticed something in the manner of the jaunty young chap that made him more suspicious than Houser had been. He took a second look. “That's a woman,’ he said. 1...!s admitted that he was she. A little later sne told her story to a Post-Dispatch reporter. She said: “I am Mabel Davis, 18 years old. I was born and raised near Waverly, N. Y. My parents are dead. I was brought up by an old couple on a farm.

No- body suspected that I was a gir!.”’ Mabel says she has never had a sweetheart and has never had a par- ticular chum among the men with whom she has worked. She denies emphatically that she stole anything from the rooms of the board- ers at Hall's boarding house.

NEGRO LYNCHED | TER WOMAN DENTIFIES. HIM s He Committed Crime for Which Another Suspect Was, Nearly Burned by Mob.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LAKELAND, Fla., Feb. 13.—Jack Wade, pusitively identified by Miss Irma Newell as the negro who attacked her on her way to school Tuesday morning, was at about sunrise this morning hanged to a tree by a party of about twenty-five men. Before life was ex- ti:ct the mob cut down the body, and, setting it up against a stump, literally riddled it with bullets. Iver since the crime the citizens of Lakeland and the country surrounding have been In a state of frenzied excite- ment, and every man of the several who have been arrested as a suspect has been in imminent danger of _ being lynehed before his guilt or innocence could be established. In one instance Dave Crumpler, who Miss Newell said bears some resem- blance to the guilty man, though she expressed a belief that he is. innocent, was taken from jail and marched by a mob of 1000 men and boys to the scen® and was saved from incineration only by the fact that just as the match was about to be applied the gran@father of the young woman rushed forward and declared his positive conviction that the members were about to kill an inno- cent man. Wade, who had been missing since the day of the crime, was arrested at about 100 miles north of here, and the deputy sheriff was taking him to jail at Bartow, the county seat, when at about 5 o'clock this morning the train was boarded a few miles from here by a party of about twenty-five! men who forced the deputy to surrender his prisoner. The negro was taken from the train when Lakeland was reached and was marched out to Miss Newell's home. As soon as she saw him she é@xcliaimed “There is the man!" The negro made no cofffession or denial. Thé mob took him in the woods about half a mile and lynched him. HOUSE COMES TO KNOX’S AID WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-—-The nfl re-

She refused. “T did not try to énrce the door.”’ Denuies He Struck Her. “Did you strike her?” “T did not.” “Did you knock her down?” “T did not.”’ “Did you push her down the stairs?’’ “T did not.”’ Contradicts His Wife, Lemp said he slept in the guest room that night, whifle Mrs. Lemp stayed in her dressing room, He saw her next morning, and there were no marks on her face, he said. This testimony was also in flat con- tradiction of that given by his wife. She had testified that he knocked her down three times and then threw her down the stairs, and that her face was so black from the blows that she had to put raw beefsteak on it. Lemp denied that he had broken the lock on her door, as she testified he did. She had testified that he called her many vile names. These names were read to him, and he denied that he had ever used them in her presence. ‘Did ‘you ever curse your wife during the course of your married life?’’ “T never did,’’ he replied. Denied Use of Epithets. He was shown a list of epithets which his wife had testified he used in her presence. He denied that he had ever used them. “When was your son born?’ ‘Sept. 24, 1900.’’ “When did you learn that your son had been baptized?’’ v “In the fall of 1903. I learned it through a letter written to me by the Rev. John May.” This was another flat contradiction of his wife’s testimony. She had testified that he knew of the baptism when it took place. Mr. Lemp denied the testimony of A. H. Handlan, father of his wife, that he, Mr. Temp, had told him that-he had given his wife grounds for divorce. Denied Statement by Handian. “T never said to Mr. Handlan that I had given my wife all the grounds for divorce in the legal calendar,” Mr. Lemp said. “Did you ever leave your home with- out saying good-by?’’ “ST ae.” “Life was not always smooth with you at home was it?’ “No, sir; it was not.”’ Mrs. Lemp had _ testified that once while at dinner Mr. Lemp drew his re- volver and threatened to kill Donald- son, the butler, without provocation, and Donaldson had testified in corrobo- ration of that. About that, Mr. Lemp testified: “While we were at dinner the doorbell rang and Donaldson went to the door and came back into the dining room and Mrs. Lemp asked him who it was. He said: ‘Hats.’ She askéd: “Whose hats? and he answered in a surly and insolent manner, ‘Your hats, of course.’ Made Butler Apologize, “He went into the kitchen and I or- dered him to come back. He refused. I followed him in and he backed toward a table on which the cook kept the carving knives. I drew my gun and covered him. I asked him what he meant by being ingolent to Mrs. Lemp. He said he hadn't been. I said he had and that here was a good chance for him to apologize. He did apologize. and I told him if ever he spoke insolently again to Mrs. Lemp he would have me to deal with.” “Did you ever tell your wife she ought to learn table maners?”’ “7 did not.” Mrs. Lemp had testified that when she returned one night from her mother’s: house the front door was locked and she had to g0 around to the rear and be admitted by the serv- ants, and that when she went upstairs to Mr. Lemp’s bedroom he was in bed and laughing at her. Denied Locking Wife Out. Mr. Lemp denied this emphatically. lock her out, that away the furniture. He admitted that he gave some old furniture to the negro butler when he married, and had given some. steins to friends. Mr. Lemp told about the “Dear Little Pal’ letter as follows: “TI went into her room to get some letterpaper usually kept in a desk drawer there. I came upon this letter and I took it out and photographed it and then returned it to where I had found it.”’ Brooded Over the Letter. “What effect did the reading of this letter have upon you?’ “T .thought over the matter and brooded over it, and then went and con- sulted my attorney, Charles Krone.’”’ “Had you been in the habit of ran-. sacking Mrs. es 2g eae rooms and matters ?’’ “I was not. The eainibiiene had a safe to which only she had a key. I did not go into that desk to read her let- ters. J came upon that letter acci- dentally.”’ Mr. Lemp testified that after he had found the ‘‘Dear Little Pal’ letter he was suspicious, and he sent a detective to Palm Beach to watch his wife. He admitted that he very frequently carried a revolver, but the only time he ever drew it in: the house was in the con- troversy with the negro butler. He nev- er had the revolver on the dining room table. He denied the testimony of his wife that once, while going to the theater with her in the carriage he cursed a boy who got in the way and drew his revolver. “Did you your wife?’ ‘Positively not.’’ Mrs. Lemp had testified that once while he was in a room adjoining hers he fired his revolver to scare and in- timidate her. About this Mr. Lemp tes- tified: ever point a revolver at ullet Mark Found. “My aia is not clear about that. If it ever happened I have wholly forgot- ten it. After the madame told of it in her deposition last summer I instructed the coachman to look for that bullet, and he told me he found it ranging downward. How it got there I do not know. I positively did not fire it in- tentionally.’’ “Did you ever object to your son re- ceiving religious instruction?’ “Not th the house.’’ “Did he receive religious instruction?” “The only thing I know its that the nurse taught the little fellow his pray- ers.”’ Mr. Lemp denied that he sent his wife a copy of Puck containing a car- toon ridiculing the Catholic church. He said he had been a subscriber to several comic papers for years. “Did you ever teach your son, or tell him that there was no God?” “T did not.”’ “Did you ever say anything to your son in disparagement of the Catholic religion ?’’ “Positively not.” No Lump Alimony. Mrs. Lemp will not receive a gross sum in alimony, even if she-is granted a divorce from William J. Lemp Jr. Judge Hitcheock made this announce- ment Saturday to her attorneys, who were pleading for an order of court that the books of the brewing company be brought In to determine the exact amount of Mr. Lemp’s fortune. The Judge said that even if the evidence did show that she was entitled to a decree of divorce and alimony and even if he did grant her a divorce, he would not give her judgment for any stipu- lated amount, but would make it a monthly or annual amount, so much a month or a year, sufficient for the sup- port of herself and child. He said that in a recent divorce de- cision in the East, in which judgment was rendered against a husband who was a millionaire, the Court did not give judgment for a gross amount, but made the alimony $12,000 a year. Judge Hitchcock did not intimate how he would decide the case. Wanted to See the Hooks. At the opening of court attorneys for Mrs. Lemp filed a motion asking the Court to order Henry Vahikamp, escre- tary of the Lemp Brewing Co,, to bring into court the general ledgers, cash books and other accounts of the com- pany so that a definite knowledge might be had of the value of William J. Lemp’s holdings. The motion statea that the capital stock of the company is in’8763 shares of an aggregate value of £2,900000, and that Mr. Lemp receives a large salary as president of the company and that he had refused.to allow his wife to ex- amine the books. Judge Hitchcock overruled the motion. The Post-Dispatch ts the only evening jpemmpaper We TE, LOGk that resetves Si publishes ——e Ps Ms Z rad J. Cooper and John D. Siwgp for the murder of former Senator E. W. Car mack. For 2% days the Court, attorneys an: Ol..cers had been trying to get compe tent jurors. Tne law made those in- competent who had talked with a wit- ness to the murder or talked with someone who had talked with a wit- ness. On the hearing on application for bail for the defendants the tocal pa- pers printed stenographic stories of the testimony. The Supreme Court has held that a newspaper printing verbatim testimony becomes a witness who has taiked to a witness. fherefore every one in the county who had read the testimony be- came incompetent.as a juror. This eliminated at once the most intelligent citizens of the county. As a result it was necessary to draw five venires of 5-- each and one of 519, or a total of 3019 before the jury was completed. Four Are Illiterate. As it is, four of the jury can neither read nor write, and two others under- stand English only indifferently. Ev- ery man of the 12 but one swore he had not read a newspaper since before the killing and some had not read one for 14» years.. Bierman, the only excep- tion, had been out of the —~:ate from the week before the killing until the day he was summoned. Hows, the last man chosen, was fore- man of the jury in the famous Cox case. Cox was charged with the murder of a policeman. The jury found’ him guilty of murder in the first degree, but rec- ommended mercy. Judge Hart refused to heed the recommendation and sen- tenced Cox to death. Cox had powerful) friends and the night before he was to be executed, someone slipped poison into his cell, with which he committed suicide. Judge Anderson, chief counsel for the defense in the Cooper case, also defended Cox. The fact that Anderson accepted Hows created no little com- ment. Only One Juror Under 40. The completed jury, with their ages and occupations, follow: E. M. Burke, carpenter, age 47; Robert McPhetson, farmer, 49; C. A, Lane, farmer, 52; W. A. Adcock, farmer, 28; Casper Schnupp, farmer, 41; J. H. Vaughn, farmer, 49; 8. M. Hyde, farmer, 55; Gus Knipfer, farmer, 47; F. O. Bier- man, real estate, 42; J. A. Woodruf, farmer, 55; Jacob Frutiger. farmer, 49; William Hows, farmer, 55. The State has not yet decided upon its procedure in opening the case next Tuesday. Mrs. Eastman, who was talk- ing to Senator Carmack when he was killed, probably will be the first witness. Jurors Take the Oath. When court adjourned yesterday after- noon the prosecution asked that the jury be not sworn unt!] the State had a chance to investigate charges against two of the jurors. This morning Attor- ney-General McCarn made no reference to these charges, but simply said: “We are ready for the jury to be sworn, Your Honor.”’ The clerk took three jurors at a time, had them place their hands upon a small, well-worn Bible, which has served the court for yeags, and repeat after him the oath “to well and truly try the is- sues joined between the State of Ten- nessee and the defendants.”’ Then each juror kissed the Bible in turn. It was a solemn ceremony, go]- emnly performed. The State next asked several days in which to gather its witnesses. The Court suggested that the taking of testi. mony begin at 9 a. m. Tuesday. Counsel on both sides agreed and court ad- journed until that time. ROBBER’S PURSUERS TRIP OVER ROPE STRETCHED ACROSS ALLEY _-- eo: Snare Enables Man to Escape After He Took Diamonds Worth $2000. ST.

BELIEVE Judge Intimates He Will Pro- vide That Neither Shall Marry Again. EDINBURGH, Feb. 13.—Comments made by Lord Guthrie, presiding at the trial of the counter divorce suits of John Alexander Stirling and Mrs. Clara Elizabeth Stirling, during Counsellor Clyde’s concluding speech on behalf of Stirling today, indicate that Stirling will be granted a divorce and that possibly the wife, too, will be granted a decree. If this is done, it is the general opinion that a proviso will be incluaed in the decrees preventing the marriage of either. When Clyde mentioned Mrs. Stirling's letters to uer husband regarding money as ‘“‘callous epistles,’’ Lord Guthrie com- mented: “This shows the their lives.” Again, when Clyde referred to one of the letters from Lord Northland to Mrs. Stirling inscribed ‘‘To Darling,’’ Lord Guthrie said: “One hundred and fifty years ago this would have meant a duel.’’ . “But now our only means of redress is a lawsuit,” Clyde answered. Calls Mrs, Stirling Unstable. In concluding his address Clyde said that the conduct of Mrs. Stirling and Northland since the former had left her husband could be interpreted only as a mutual acknowledgment. To this Lord Guthrie replied: “Tt is true that Mrs. Stirling’s dis- position has been proved to be most un- stable.”’ Clyde contended that Stirling had never been first in his wife’s affec- tions; that Mrs. Stirling's acquaintance with Northland began before her mar- riage to Stirling when she was still a chorus girl. and from a _ Bohemian friendship ripened into an overpowering passion, until finally she found herself unable to’ live ‘without Northland. While Northland denied on the stand that he loved Mrs. Stirling, VTiyde said, his letters to her clearly showed that he did. He said: ‘Mrs. Stirling’s letters to Northland following her trouble with her husband was the ery of a person in pain. It came straight from the heart and proved conclusively that she passion- ately loved Northland and had been giving to him all the love that she de- nied poate Ns ‘This let fs more than a declara- tion of love. It involves the admission of improprieties with Northland. Mrs. Stirling found on her visit to America that she 't loved Northland more than she even suspected. She found that she could not ive without him and this for’ er cabling him the date sordid element in him gras after her arrival. fact, she abandoned herself to him.

“Fighting Bob,” in St. Louis to Lecture, Meets Old Com- rade of ’65.

HOT FIGHT RECALLED Delmar Avenue Plumber One of Eight Men Who Escaped Awful Carnage.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans— “Fighting Bob’’—who is in St. Louis to deliver a lecture at the Odeon Sat- urday night, met at the Jefferson Ho- tel this morning one of the eight men who passed unscathed through the des- perate battle in front of Fort Fisher, N. C., Feb. 16, 1865, which is described by the grizzly sea fighter as the hot- test engagement in which he ever par- ticipated. The comrade was James H. Crowley, a plumber, of 5893 Delmar boulevard. He called to see Admiral Evans at the ho- tel, and the two men talked intimately of the conflict in which ‘Fighting Bob”’ was wounded four times. Although Admiral Evans had not seen Crowley from the day after the battle until Saturday he recognized him instantly. “I’m glad to see you, Crowley,” he said. ‘‘Do you remember that shell that exploded right under you on the Powhatan, just before the battle, and threw water all over you? I remember how we all stopped for a moment to see who was killed. After shaking hands with other call- ers, Admiral Evans continued: ‘That Was a great day.” “Do you remember, Crowley, ‘“‘when you fell the beach?” Jumped Three Feet in Air. “Yes, I do,” answered Fighting Bob. “When I was hit I jumped three feet in the air. It was enough to make a fellow jump.” “Yes, yes,”’ answered Crowley, ‘when I looked around I saw you up in the And I'll tell you why I didn’t stop to help: you when you were shot, Ad- ‘miral. You told us all before we left the ship that we had to go right into the fort and take the Confederates by the shoulders and legs and throw them over the ramparts. Admiral,’”’ said wounded on so I kept right on.” Then for a few minutes Admiral Evans “and Crowley talked of the men who ~-wete on the Powhatan with them. Ad- =" £3 miral Evans said that nearly all were dead. ; “Do you remember George Putt?’ asked Admiral Evans. ‘‘He was shot in the groin and killed in that charge.”’ “Yes, when you called for volunteers he was one of the men who responded: I know he said he had a mother and two sisters to support, and somebody else wanted to take his place, but he wouldn’t have it. He said he would be called a coward if he didn’t go, but he said he felt that he was going to be killed in the fight, and he was.” _ Crowley asked Admiral Evans about the revolver that he had under his pillow tn the hospital at Norfolk. “That was the pistol—a Colt’s army re- volver—that, saved by legs,’ said the Admiral. Evans Praises Old Comrade. _., “I was wounded in both legs. I heard 1” & =f 2, ra the chief surgeon of the hospital give orders at night that both my legs were to be cut off in the morning.

Pa + € ek When they did come the next morning I drew the revolver and told them I would shoot the first man who under- ‘took to cut off my legs.”’ “IT hope you live a thousand years,”’ said the Admiral to Crowley as he arose to go, after having received from the Admiral an autograph photograph. “And I fhlope that you are still here when I am gone,” said Crowley. Then Admiral Evans, turning to the reporters, said: “That was the hottest I don’t see how Crowley ever went through it alive. He was right with me when I was shot. TI jed 62 men up the hill in that charge and only eight of them came out whole. I was an acting ensign at the time. Enemy Played Dirty Trick. “The enemy played a dirty, low trick on us.

Rejecting the Hepburn amendment to the Sher- man act, the Senate Judiciary Committee adopted the views of Senator Nelson of Minnesota con- cerning the value of the act in its present form and the danger of conferring the power to deter- mine the reasonableness or unreasonableness of /a combination or agreement in restraint of trade. Discussing the provisions of the Hepburn bill, which would place the power to decide whether a combination, railroad or industrial, were good or bad, Senator Nelson said: “In both cases the power of determining, without notice or hearing, whether a contract or combination in general restraint of trade is reasonable or not, a power which, as we have herein shown the courts deny to themselves, is conferred on the mere head of a bureau in one case and on a special body in another case, and by thus making civil and criminal prosecution hinge on the question of reasonableness Or unreasonableness it destroys, 4s we shall here- after show, the provisions of the act as to criminal prosecutions, and renders them nugatory, and opens the door wide to doubt and uncertainty as to civil >rosecutions. “Shall we confer a power upon the mere head of a bureau that the Parliament of England were un- willing to accord to the King, and which they re- garded as a menace to their liberties? To do so would be a most serious departure from the funda- mental principles of our Government, and would do violence to what we conceive to be due process of law.” The reasoning applied to the proposed mod- ification of the Sherman anti-trust act applies to Gov. Hadley’s plan of placing the power to de- termine whether a monopoly trust or combina- tion shall be punished or suppressed or regulated, fin the hands of State authorities. It would ren- der nugatory any law against trusts and would put an extraordinary and dangerous power in the hands of the State officers. Monopoly has always been regarded as a men- ace to the public welfare. The struggle to over- throw the oppressive power of king-made monop- olies is a part of the history of the winning of liberty by the English people. It violates the principles embodied in the comman law, which have been adopted and reinforced in our statute laws. If the plan proposed by Gov. Hadley, the inti- tial step to which is the offer of the Standard Oil corpdration to submit to court regulation, is adopted, we shall have State-controlled mo- nopolies with the power vested in State officers to determine the fate of commercial and indus- trial combinations. Little imagination is _ re- quired to foresee the effect on government, poli- tics and business.

‘ANOTHER INDISCRETION. If Congressman McKinlay quoted correctly President Roosevelt told the California congres- sional delegation that neither England nor Ger- many would -~er “strike us on the back, but would meet us on level ground and on even terms.” “But,” he added, “we cannot tell what this new nation (Japan) will do.” The context deepens the impression produced by this extract that Mr. Roosevelt distrusts the Japanese and fear crooked diplomacy and it may be, treacLery. Assuming the correctness of the quotation this utterance of toe President is what is called a “blazing indiscretion.” He lets it be known plainly that he suspects the Japanese of bad faith. Is this a good way to cultivate their friendship? Mr. Roosevelt has done good work in stopping anti-Japanese legislation in Cali- fornia. But if he wishes to allay the irritation of the Japanese why does he imprudently say they are a faithless lot who must be watched closely lest they play underhand tricks? % _=_ = *

When the New York stage is now said to be showing “a trend to the inexpressibly filthy,” the definition of its tendencies in this phrase does not come from The World. The World’s repeated protests give occasion for this language, but it comes from Charles Burnham, president of the Theatrical Managers’ Association, with 40 years’ experience behind the scenes. When he adds that some of the plays now run- ning in New York are “orgies of obscenity,” it is not possible for language to go further. The ex- planation given of the failure of public opinion against what is thus defined as the last extreme of indecency, vindicates The World and all others who have protested against the suspicion of failing to represent the best in public opinion. But when extremes meet, when the common tastes for foulness in the “high society” and the slums of the city are joined against pub‘ic opinion, it is defeated, with “society” leading the idle and the criminal of the “lowest class” to see plays which Mr. Burnham describes as so “lewd and indecent” that “no right-minded man would take a decent woman to see them.’”’ He covers the case when he concludes by saying that “if society did not go, the rest would not.” | This element, the yellow element of “‘society” in New York City, organizes vice for the rest of the country. As soon as it has made “a New York success” of a vicious play, it is put on the road for St. Louis and points West. No city of the country is secure against this direct influence of the league between the bottom and top of the vicious- ly idle classes for whose pleasure “orgies of ob- scenity”’ are put on the New York stage.

Now is the time for the citizens of St. Louls to get busy on the political field if they want a good city government. The present industrial system is the cause of our jails being full today; men must live and will live. What first the workers want is a chance to work and make an honest living; second, we want good government and we want all that belongs to us as tollers of the earth. Now, workingmen, the only way we can get this is to vote the Socialist ticket. There will be Socialist lectures in all parts of the city in the near future. Go and hear them. You will learn more at these lectures than I am able to tell you here. HARRY BROUGHTON,

Others More Sorely Afflicted. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In reply to the letter in Saturday’s issue from the lady who is deaf, I wish to say that I, too, am af- flicted with deafness. Yet I am not quite so un- fortunate as you, dear sister, for I am not totally deaf. I am young, have a fair education, but alas, very sensitive. I am compelled to earn my own living and that makes it all the harder for me, for where I work I am looked upon as a freak or some- thing out of the ordinary, because of my misfor- tune. I have known them to whisper to one an- other about me and it cuts-me to the heart. Then I feel like laying my head on my arms and crying as if my heart would break. It is the same story everywhere I go. I am sadly reminded of my mis- fortune. DISCOURAGED. Not a Word Is Ever Heard. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to dig up some of these unsung heroes who sweat in the hold to keep ocean liners going while the saloon rings with laughter at the captafn’s dinner. Nobody ain’t never heard of no coal shoveler being carried on nobody’s shoulders.” The above clipping from the Baltimore News, taken from the Sunday Post-Dispatch, suggested the fol- lowing verse: We often hear about some man Who walked into a town » And there met opportunity, Great fortune and renown; But of the countless thousands Of good and worthy men Who walked into that very town And, perforce, walked out again, Not a word Is ever heard. THOMAS NOLAN. Matriage Promises. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The agitation over the word “obey” in the marriage service would seem very uncalled-for to any think- ing mind. It is certainly as easy to promise to do that as either of the other promises usually used in that form—‘“‘to love’’ and ‘“‘to honor.”’ No conscien- tious, honest person could give any such promise for the simple reason that it cannot be done as a mat- ter of volition. Love and honor are both inspired and the person who s0 conducts himself that he will merit them will receive them. One might make every effort to love an unlovable person and fall miserably in the attempt, and through no fault of the promisor. An object, to be loved and honored, must be lovable and honorable; in other words, he must inspire the feeling. Of course the promise to obey is ridiculous, and equally impossible to carry out. No sane person would think of obeying anoth- er contrary to his own conscience. All those words merely constitute a form, and are otherwise meaning- less. (WOMAN) LAWYER. Pollard’s Plan in England.. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Judge Pollard’s plan as embodied in the English } probation act has now had a year’s trial] and it may interest the people of St. Louis to know the results. These cannot be given fully until the Government issues a return, for which I am asking Mr. Charles Roberts, M. P., to move when Parliament reassem- bles. In London, about 430 prisoners were given the benefit of the act and in only thirty cases did the offenders revert to their original ways. Judge Wal- lace, King’s counsel, addressing the grand jury of South London Sessions, said, “that from a report which Kad been presented to him by the Probation Officer, he was happy to say that 9 per cent of those who had been allowed out on probation had been striving to make use of the opportunity thus offered to them to lead honest lives.”” In Leicester. where Judge Pollard had a great reception when on his last vacation, about one in four of all the cases of drunkenness and other petty offenses have been given a chance to retrieve their character under the pledge clause, |. e., Judge Pollard’s plan. Your readers can best imagine the great and lasting bene- fit that Judge Pollard has rendered humanity when I say that there are over 500,000 convictions yearly in this country (England) for drunkenness and petty offenses, and thousands have been put upon pledge on probation successfully.

TRIAL MARRIAGES. From the Washingten (D. C.) Post. The ‘‘trial marriage’ is an abomina- tion, because it defies every law upon which society, business as such, and the recognition of human rights are found- ed. It ‘s evil, because it questions and passes judgment upon the eternal na- ture of love. It is abhorrent, because it sets up the standard of selfishness in the human breast and would insist upon anarchy—no law but that of self—in the constitution of mankind.

In the shops there will be found a most fascinating line of favors to com- memorate the day sacred to the patron saint who watches over the love affairs of lads and lassies, both young and older grown. : There is a distracting variety of tokens with red and white hearts galere—al! sizes—golden arrows and golden Cupids, keys that are supposed to unlock the most carefully guarded hearts, and per- fectly dear boxes in the shape of white envelopes with hearts for the decorative scheme. Peppermints come in heart-shape, and there are cooky cutters of the same shape which come in handy for cakes and cutting ice cream, if the individual molds are too expensive or not obtain- able. For announcing an engagement (and what more fitting time than the 14th?) there are tiny envolopes in which to inclose a card bearing the names of the happy pair. These cards and envelopes may be decorated in water color to match any desired color scheme, then they are sealed and stamped with wee hearts. The envelopes are placed on the plate when refreshments are served. Nut and bonbon holders are shown in shape of hearts and may be covered with crepe paper with a shower of lit- tle hearts tied to the handle. A tour of the shops will be so enticing that you will just have to give some sort of a function on Valentine's day whether you are planning for one or not. Next Sunday considerably more space will be devoted to suggestions for this day and I hope this will meet with the approval of the readers who for some days have been writing for Valentine entertainments, A brief explanation of the origin of the day will alse be given in reply to a request. ie Soa The Medium. HIS is a new scheme and @ good ig one to break the ice at the be- ginning of a party. Before the guests arrive have some room darkened and a curtain put up so as to keep from

I. have since demonstrated that I was his ‘master. I was his master then, though It may it made me awful sore to see a prize- satisfactory manner for me. My wount- ed feelings, however, were somewhat healed when the officials handed Man- ager Murphy a real package of green- backs containing $5600. This was the most money I had re- ceived for one fight up to that date. Bat's Manager Is Missing The day following when I looked for Teddy Murphy, the 42-year-old boy man- ager, as one of the sporting writers on the coast had dubbed him, he was impossible to locate, Up to date he had not been prompt in settling, and I was anxious to do busi- ness in a business-like manner. Hence my anxiety to find him. When I did meet him he made an excuse of busi- ness engagements and promised to meet me the next day. I went to the ap- pointed ‘spot, but failed to find Murphy, and, of course, became very much wor- ried. As Eddie Santry, my former sparring partner, was to depart for Chicago, I figured Murphy most likely would be at the ferry to see him off. I hurried to the ferry and found Murphy and San- try checking their trunks. When I ac- costed Murphy for an explanation he informed me that he was merely there to see Santry off. I had a dinner ap- pointment and therefore couldn’t cross the bay with them. On my way back I dropped into Harry Corbett’s for my mall. On top of the cash register lay the secret inclosed in an envelope—it was from the ‘“‘boy’’ manager. I recog- nized the handwriting as being from Teddy and immediately became _ very suspicious. I opened it and there found a note with a $100 bill inclosed. The letter stated that he had been called home on account of sickness in the family and a lot of ‘‘bull,”’ etc. I felt positive then that it was his intention to run off with my bankroll, and I immediately got busy. The police chief instantly wired in- structions to Stockton, advising the au- thorities there to arrest Murphy and S-atry. Next day Detective Tv.ylor was sent to Stockt: 1 and brought Murphy and Santry back to San Francisco, where we settled our dificultics. After that Murphy and I severed con- nections for good. After Britt Again. I have already told how I defeated Corbett a second time” I now felt as if I was entitied to a return match with Britt, so I got hot on his trail. As I had knocked Corbett out twice th? San Francisco press and the public at large demanded of Britt to show his colors and fight me. He finally agreed to sign a temporary set of articles and posted a $2500 fo ‘eit with Harry Cor- be it for a fight to take place some time in July. This was done. Two clau8?s were inserted in the arti- cles—one that I was not allowed to en- gage in any fight that went over six rounds, the ‘her that I must b? on San Francisco soil not later than July 1 for signing of final articles.

I went to the mountains for a month on .wve doctor’s advice. In the mean time San Francisco sport writers had chronicled the story of my gallant victory over Young Corbett through the East, and as a result I was very much in demand thereabouts. I reecived offers from the Philadelphia club to fight three battles, at $1500 per fight, to go six rounds, no decision—they to name my opponents. It was here that I met Abe Attell. We fought six slashing rounds with the uSual “‘no decision’”’ result. I received

In fact, there has been much discussion of late as to the feasibility of the establishment of an actual! central or national reserve bank which woald fill approximately the position of the Bank of England, but for political reasons chiefly it is doubtful whether this generation will witness the introduction of this experiment. ‘Broadly speaking, it might be said that the ‘egisiation requiring the establishment of trust companies reserves on the present basis implies a dissipation of the lending re- sources of the local financial inatitutions. It is doubtful whether such legislation would ever have been enacted had the Clearin house banks accepted their real responsibi t'es and maintained at all times, as they should have done, cash reserves adequate to the position they observed toward the community at large. It was their failure to do so that led up to a great many 0 the periods of money market stress and other difficulties that have been experienced within recent years. “With the incoming of a new Federal ad- ministration there has been increasing dis- cussion with regard to the position of the national treasury. As is well known, the Federal revenues are running far below the Government disbursements, and there is al- ally digcouraging, and the blame for this state of things is now commonly attributed to the pending revision of the tariff and the prospect that Congress will have to ar- range further means for increasing the revenues of the Government.

Obviously the position of the treasury is not apt to faprové with a revision of the tariff close at hand and with trade de- pressed throughout the country. It is fairlv certain that the incoming administration wil’ make strenuous efforts to avoid an issue of Government bonds for revenue purposes 80 rong as possible, but as things stand now it ifficult to see how such an undertaking can be averted. “The present condition of the Federal fi- nances does not constitute an actual menace to the money market, and in fact, on account of our peculiar fiscal system, the present state of affsirs tends to easy monetary conditions. In other words, the Federal treasury is pay- ing ont wore rapidly than {it is taking in, and in consequence it is constantly adding to the amount of money in circulation. Cash in the Federal treasury is, of course, virtually out of circulstion. In the event, however, that the Government should make its appearance as a borrower of money, there might be a considerable dislocation in the present satis- factory state of investment market. ‘In its search for some specific explana- tions of the strength of the week's stock market, for explanations must be had, even if they have to be manufactured, Wall street hit upon the idea that prices were discount- ing the exit of President Roosevelt and the advent of President Taft. In the ab- sence of any better reasons, that theory might be accepted as being at least serv- iceable.

This was sed on the generally bearish trend to the early news. Argentine shipments were unexpectedly large, contradicting the p ictions of a decrease, but the general ception of the situation in that country rémains unchanged, the heavy exports being at the expense of the visible supply. Arrivals at the ports of Argentine are smaller and the amount available for export from that country is comparatively light. Do nestic crop conditions are again favorable. Temperatures have returned to milder and more secasonable level and the moisture will prove beneficial. Reports from all over. the belt state that little if any damage was ex- perisnced from the recent cold wave and that the plant presents a healthy appearance. The county is a free seller at these high levels, but the movement is still relatively small, two days’ arrivals being included in today’s postings of the receipts. The large bulls still have the market ap- parently under their thumbs. Controlling such large amounts of long wheat, they can, by withholding offerings, cause quite a congestion fn the pit.

Hotel Headquarters on Penn- Sylvania Avenue, Where Parade Will Pass.

Arrangements for the railroad jour- ney to Washington and return, for the party of 10 school children who are to see the inauguration of President Taft as guests of the Post-Dispatch, have been completed. The winners of the contest will go to the national capital on the fast .and luxurious Big Four train which starts from St. Louis Union Station at noon Monday, March 1, arriving in Wash- ington at 2:45 p. m. next day. The party will have four and a half days in Washington, leaving that city for home at 3:45 p. m. Saturday, March 6, and arriving in St. Louis at 6:30 p. m. the next day. Arriving in Washington, the party will be registered at the National Ho- tel, which overlooks historic Pennsy]- Vania avenue, where th2 magnificent in- gaugural parade will pass. The railroad and hotel accommodations will be of “the very best, the travelers enjoying the finest Pullman and dining car serv- ice going and returning. Traverse Historic Ground. The railroad trip to Washington and return will itself be one of the most in- teresting and delightful features of the week. The boys and girls who will com- pose the party are to be congratulated on the fact that they will pass through many miles of beautiful scenery and gee so many spots famed in history, among them some of the greatest bat- flefields in the United States. Young ears will be strangely thrilled tas the trainmen call out stations that heretofore have been to the school -boy or girl only great names blazoned in glowing immortality on the pages of their history—Gordonsville, Orange Courthouse, Barnett’s Ford, Rapidan, Culpepper, Cedar Mountain, Brandy Station, Rappahannock, Manassas and many others. From the car"windows young eyes can look out-.upon fields once littered with the ghastly debris of war. Plowed fields, peaceful now in the golden glow of the days that precede spring, but once the scenes of terrible struggles that give sullen grandeur to history, will make the heart beat fast to look upon sik twen the rounded, weathered “i “outl of venerable earthworks, grass- : grown, but once frowning and battle blistered, can be seen from the windows ' and, map and history in hand, the young people will be able to follow, step by step, as they ride along so luxuriously, several of the most famous campaigns of the Civil War. Bull Run and Manassas. Bull Run and Manassas! What thoughts these two names conjure up. At sound of them the mind flies back- “ward to the opening of the war, to the days when the leaders were bowed down with dread of the impending storm, while the young and impetuous on both sides rushea into the conflict with zest and buoyant ‘enthusiasm. Approaching Manassas the _ train '@ashes along by the quiet thread of - Bull Run, that little stream which fig- ured so dramatically in the country’s history. Just vefore the town of Manas- ' gas brings the train to a pause the passenger can see out of the window a tall Confederate monument, rising amid the green where once men died in bat- tle. | Beyond the town on the way to Wash- ington is another huge work of the men in gray, not a monument erected by the survivors in honor of their dead brothers, but a gigantic earthwork, once -eqtiipped with cannon and alive with drab-coated aoldiers. A little later the train passes Fair- fax, where the very first fighting of the war, the skirmishing that preceded the first battle of Manassas, or the battle - of Bull Run, took place.

Not only the dashing prelude of the _ great conflict occurred along the line to be traversed, but also the tremendous drama came to an end in the very coun- try through which the boys and girls -are to journey on their way to Wash- Round the Rapidan the army of Grant - Jay camped just befort it started on tts final campaign, bringing to a sad ‘and solemn termination the high hopes that had led the South to so many years of heroic sacrifice. © Tt was there—and the young travelers can see the historic country as they ride—that the army girded itseif for the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Marbor, Petersburg, Five Forks, Sailor's Creek and Appomattox. The Wilderness is not visible from the “train, but it lies only a few miles dis- tant, and one who watches and informs himself may \ook out into the dim dis- _ tance-and know that just beyond his Tine of vision stand the gloomy forests : fateful shades, where so ‘many lives went out in awful conflict.

These are just a few of the points of historic interest that will railroad trip a thing to be remembered always. It would be difficult to put into words any description of the Blue Ridge Mountains which the train will climb, surmount and descend in a veri- table fairyland of blue distances and exquisite colors. The scenery along this route to Wash- ington is said by many artists not to be surpassed in all the world. And at last, after reveling in land- scapes beyond description and feasting the mind on great and solemn things of history, Arlington, home of the Lees, and the national cemetery, where so many, many soldiers dead lie in the last sleep, will come into view and be- yond will rise the national eapital. In Sunday’s issue of the Post-Dis- patch there will be more information concerning the things, beautiful and his- toric, that will .be taken in on the sightseeing tours of the young people who will go from St. Louis as guests of the Post-Dispatch.

Coyle Assures Visitors They Will See Amazing Things. “Sure, Mike,” is the reply f P. W. Coyle, president of the Commonwealth Ciub of Alton, to anyone who asks him about that city’s nature wonders, some- times designated by the harsher term of “nature fakes.” “Come and see for yourself,” is his invitation to questioners whe are in- clined to doubt the tales of Willow Ben and the legends of Hop Hollow, and to cast asparagus on narratives about doorknob-hatched chickens and small cows which give condensed milk. “Of course,” explained Mr. Coyle to a Post-Dispatch reporter in Alton Sat- urday, ‘“‘we can’t have all our phenom- ena on exhibition at any particular time, and every visitor may net see all the things.he has read about. But we are sure he will see so many real beauties of nature here that he will be glad he came.’ Mr. Coyle, who is traffic commission- er of the Business Men’s League in St. Touls, differs with those Altonians whp seem to imagine that their city hag been in some way injured by being rep- resented as the home of the unusual! and the quaint in nature and human na- ture. “Ht would be a fine thing for St. Louis if she could get such advertising as Al- ton has had recently through the nature stories located here,’’ he says.

Dr. John C. Morfit of 3518 Washing- ton avenue, former president of the St. Louls Medical Society, whose wife, Mrs. Josephine Nations Morfit, is suing him for divorce in El Paso, Tex., where she is a social favorite and connected with one of the wealthiest families of the city, refused Saturday to discuss his wife’s suit or his contest for the custody of their 7-year-old daughter, Josephine Gregory Morfit. If Mrs. Morfit will consent to permit her husband to have custody of the daughter six months each year, dis- patches from El Paso state, he will not contest the suit. Attorneys are now at- tempting to effect a compromise on this basis, Mrs. Morfit is the daughter of J. H. Nations, president of the National Bank of Commerce in E] Paso, and also presi- dent of the Y. M. C. A. While attending school in Nashville nine years ago she met and married Dr. Morfit. Separated Several Months Ago. Dr. and Mrs. Morfit have been sepa- rated for several months. While Mrs. Morfit’s divorce petition does not go into great detail, nor does the doctors an- swer make detailed denials, it is stated by interested parties, according to dis- patches, that Mrs. Morfit left her hus- band in St. Louis without informing him where she was going. It is stated she telephoned him at his office not to come home for lunch as she did not feel well. Later he was informed by a servant that she had left the house, taking her personal effects with her. Great ‘secrecy is being maintained in the divorce proceedings. All papers filed in court in El Paso are withdrawn by attorneys as soon as they are sched- uled by the clerks. In her petition Mrs. Morfit charges cruelty. Her husband's answer is merely a general denial of her charges. Amepded Angwer Prepared. An amended answer, now said to be in the hands of Dr. Morfit’s attorneys in El Paso, is said to charge that Mrs. Morfit was too fond of society, and in- sisted on being away from home at- tending social functions a great part of the time. The Doctor says he is a home-loving man. This amended answer will not be filed, the El Paso dispatches state, if Mrs. Morfit will. permit her husband to have the child half the time. Several: months ago Dr. Morfit attempted to get pos- session of the child through a writ of habeas corpus, but the courts permitted him to have the child only three months each year. “T don't know what has been done,’’ Dr. Morfit said today. ‘It is all ancient history, and does not concern the gen- eral public anyway.”’ NEWSBOY HAS SAVED $10,000 Chicago Police Surprised When He Qualifies, as’ Bondsman.

The Pommern won the international race from St. Louis in 1907, when it car- ried Oscar Erbslech of Germany and H. H. Clayton of Boston, close to the At- lantic Coast at New Jersey. It has a capacity of 85,000 cubic feet, and in ad- dition to being the largest balloon ever sent up in New England, has also the distinction of making the first ascension in New England this year. In the car of the Pommern were Dr. Julian P. Thomas of New York, owner of the balloon; Dr. Thomas’ 10-year-old son, Odin; Wilbur R. Kimball, Dr. Wil- liam R. Greene, Henry Meixner and Leo Stevens, all of New York. Mr. Stevens acted as pilot. They left North Adams at 12:05 in the afternoon and did not attempt to descend until darkness made it necessary. BOTH GAINED By Change to Postum.

“We have given Postum over a year’s trial,” writes a Wis. lady, “and our only regret is that we did not try it before. Previously we used coffee twice a day and were very fond of it. “My husband had been subject to ae- vere attacks of sick headache for years and at such times could not endure the sight or smell of coffee. This led me to suspect that coffee was the cause of his trouble. “IT was also troubled very much with acidity of the stomach and heart palpi- tation after meals. I had been doctor- ing for this but had not suspected that coffee was the cause, “Finally we purchased some Postum and it did for me what the medicines had failed to do. The first day we used Postum I noticed less of my own trou- ble, the second day was entirely free from it and have never been troubled since. “My husband has been entirely free from attacks of sick headache since ‘ie quit coffee and began to use Postum. “T have heard people say they did not like the flavor of Postum. vet I have served it to them without detection, be- cause it has the color and snappy coffee taste, similar to mild high-grade Javea. This shows they had not made it right. When made according to directions on pkg., it is as delicious as coffee and be- sides it is wholesome.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Willis and her three daughters: were saved from burning to death when a passing milkman, at 4:30 o’cldtk Saturday morning, rapped on the window of their home at 734 Bayard avenue and told them their house was afire. The fire, originating from an over- heated furnace in the basement, had already eaten a hole in the floor of the bedroom where Mrs. Willis was asleep and the rooms were so full of smoke that the women were partially stupefied by it. ‘Miss Ada Willis was first awakened by the milkman rapping on her bedroom window. She awakened her mother and two sisters—Ida and May. Then she ran into the front room and telephoned the fire department. Curtains Serve as Raiment, Wrapping themselves in portieres Which they tore from their fastenings, and in rugs which they snatched from the floor, the four women ran into the street. They spread one rug on ,the sidewalk to protect their bare feet from the cold stone and then they huddled together in their strange raiment and watched the firemen put out the flames. Afterward they went to the home of «. neighbor. The fire. destroyed some _ furniture stored in the basement. It burned through the floor Of the room where Mrs. Willis slept and destroyed all of her clothing and the furnishings there. The damage was about $500. The family of Charles Whitehurst, liv- ing in the flat above, was driven out by the smoke.

WATERLOO, Io., Feb. 13.—The rigors of the blizzard recently drové a herd of cattle into a rural school in Grun- dy County, Buffeted by the storm, the stock broke in the door and as many of the herd of 30 entered as could get in. Four head of cattle and a horse were left outside, unable to gain entrance and froze to death. The cattle were not an orderly bunch of scholars.
