The Struggle Is A pproaching the Stage When Votes Will Count Instead of Speeches---Woman Lead- er Says the W. C. T. U. Started the Movemeni-- Some Advocates Not Very Ardent.

HE fight -to put Missouri on the ° water | wagon has about got past the Mister- Chairman-and-Gentlemen stage. Oratory, wet and dry, has gone the route, and the aves and noes are called for. Whether the Mysterious Stranger gets shoved astride the sprinkling cart or not, and whether oF not thié State gets into the all-white section of Mrs. Cairns’ big map, it has been a nice di- version for our. legislators. With the lieutenant-governorship wrangle at the bez ning of the session and the prohibition agitation. starting a little later, the Senate and House haven't had time or disposition to get together on much of anything. Result—the law- makers tiave made no laws to speak of, and their time: for making them is almost up. Senator, Krone, who sees no_other good in the prohibition movement, thinks this may be a real benefit. “If the Assembly didn't pass any bills at all, the people might be just as well off,” he remarked a few days ago. But the teachers and attendants in some of the State institutions, who have been going without their pay several months, while waiting for the appropriation bill to pass, would suggest one ex- ception to this statement. And Gov. Hadley, whose pet measures have been pigeonholed while legislators argued whether saloons are _ better than drug stores, has found lumbago the least of his troubles. FISH AND GAME LAW IS ABOUT ALL THAT HAS PASSED. HE fish and game law has passed both houses, and that is about all. Even the | nine-foot bed sheet bill,“how amended by cutting off 11 inches-—-from the sheet, not the bill—has not been spread on the statutes, and after all the airing it has had, it may be tucked in at the end and covered with the blanket of oblivion. After the showing prohibition has made at Jefferson City this session, who will be so rash as to predict that woman suffrage, or single tax, or any of the weakly looking causes of today, will not have us Missourians all stirred up‘with- in the next few years? Even with crackling dry territory scattered all around, in Missouri and outside, most St. Louis- ans are still wondering how this_ prohibition movement all happened, anyway. Look up an old-time party Prohibitionist, and the chances are you will find him more surprised than~ anybody else. Ever since the ‘seventies there has been a Pro- hibition ticket every four years, but the only time most people heard of it was when a man named Swallow was the candidate for President. In Missouri, if you didn’t happen to see a 10-line item in the newspapers the day after the State convention, telling who was nominated for Gov- ernor, you had to wait until the official ballot was printed to find out. Ww. Cc. T U. MAKES WEALTHY MEN QUIT BUSINESS TO GO TO CAPITAL. HE W.C. T. U. was better advertised, espe- clally after George Ade put it into a song - im the “Sultan of Sulu.” But as for its starting anything which would make 40 of the wealthiest. men in St. Louis take a day off and go to Jefferson City in a herculean effort to stop hee why, afew years ago the suggestion wouldn't ™ Gok Ses 5s St eT 7 pec save a BBs 4 GE ey aaa as 3 ieee rad eke .

It days when We used to wear Knee pants and march to temperance picnics carrying a big banner with the word:, “Tremble, King Alcohol, We: Shall trembling King Alcohol seemed to do was in his fear that some of us would grab too much of the free lunch. But to return to Mrs. Ingalls: “This movement,” says the gentle-voiced leader of the amendment forces, “is the result of the ed. ucational work the W. C. T. U. has been doing for the last 30 years. The voung men who supported this measure io the House received their training in Sunday schools and Bands of Hope and Good Templars’ lodges in the small towns and country villages of Missouri in the days when the W. C. T. U. was most active. And the result is that they are on our side today, and when Mr. Lloyd -tried to line some of the young Republicans up with the St. Louis members, they showed him that they were not to be coerced.’ ONE SUBMISSION ADVOCATE NOT AN ARDENT PROHIBITIONIST. HIS explanation may account for Represen- T tative Killion, the tall young Cedar County schoolmaster, who fathered the prohibition resolution in the House. But Senator Josiah W. Peck, who is 53 years old now, was a pretty big boy in the days Mrs. Ingalls mentions, and proba- bly was never in a Band of Hope at all. That may be why Senator Peck, who intro- duced the resolution in the upper house, is not quite.so ardent and thorough a Prohibitionist as some of the sisters quietly wish he were. He is for prohibition, but he doesn’t think the world will come to an end if it is not carried right away. Also, if his colleagues think best to put 4, Pom ; >; Sr \\ WS reminds some of us of'th®'*’ ia Se

HALL the Missouri Senate concur in the S ous liquors in' Missouri after Jan. 1, 1913? MISSOURI SHOULD REMAIN WET BECAUSE Prohibition has failed to prohibit in other States, and cannot be enforced in any com- munity where local option cannot be car- ried. Its adoption in Missouri would mean loss of revenue and destruction of business interests, without giving assifrance of im- proving moral conditions. Breweries and other liquor interests. in Missouri have $120,000,000 invested in busi- ness; supply their products to all parts of the world; pay in wages annually $9,000,000; spend for materials and in operating ex- penses annually $21,000,000; pay in annual rentals to owners of business property $,- 500,000; pay in State, city and county taxes annually, $4,400,000; pay Missouri ratlroads in freight charges annually $3,800,000; maintain valuation of business property estimated at $30,000,000 in value; provide livelihood to 195,000 persons.” ' |

THE ARGUMENTS. resolution, passed by the House of Represen- MISSOURI SHOULD GO DRY BECAUSE Other states which have adopted prohibi- tion have not suffered financial panics or shortage of revenue. Prohibition in Mis- souri would mean a readjustment of large business interests, but would not confiscate a dollar's worth of real estate, buildings or machinery. The money now’ spent for liquor, if expended instead for the neces- saries of life, would stimulate every branch of manufacturing and producing business. Regardless of financial considerations, _ the State, on moral grounds, should cease tO sanction the liquor traffic by the license system. The financial argument made - against prohibition would have applied with equal force to racetrack gambling, now out- lawed, and could be used: in favor of the maintenance of publictotteries in countries where such institutions still exist. Prohi- bition, even when, indifferently. enforced, is far preferable to license from the stand- point of moral results.

out your arithmetic and figure how this taxation question is going to be met after the liquor reve- nue is cut off, and then get out on the stump anu. tell people about it when campaign time comes. If you can’t tell the people how the State is going to get the revenue, the chances are the amend- ment will be beaten anyway, tax rider or no tax rider.’ “If the submission resolution is beaten—and | anticipate it will be—I am going to introduce 1 bill to have a commission appointed to investigate prohibition in other states and make a report when the next Assembly meets. “A question that has been pending as long as this one has can wait a few years longer, if neces- sary, until the people and the Legislature get a better understanding of it.” Bil ce: ELDER JONES WILL TRY TO KEEP UP WITH STAMPEDED HEHD. LL of which does not sound very much like A the typical prohibition advocate, who pro- claims that a distinct and dire public stu is committed every time the porter sweeps out a saloon in the morning and the bartender opens the front door. 2 But Peck, the practical, is the mainstay.of.the movement in the Senate, and the more impatient souls on the outside have had to make the best of it . The Rev. E. F., Jones, state secretary ‘of the Anti-Saloon League and avowed lobbyist jor stronger local option measures, has also been ac- cused by, the Prohibitionists of not being one of them. Elder Jones answers, in the language of a weil- known hymn, that his fears, his hopes and hix aims are one with those of the Prohibitionists, but “he admits that he does not share aj! their anxiety to have Missouri “go the limit” at once. “I'm like a cowboy following up a stampeded herd,” says the minister-lobbyist, who spent some can: get them around of thelr.own Nhs Sarit eae, Deh Sa Rites SS. ng: os ae i ony aR YS

It is entirely a human power, and its game in the Missouri Con- stitution is the initiative, although some persons, confusing it with its twin brother, cal] it the _ referendum. 7 ‘ Missourians voted the initiative into the Consti- tution last fall, South St. Louis along with the rest, apparently with a light heart and never thinking that they were handing their enemies a jimmy with which to enter their homes and rob them of their cherished personal liberty... To get prohibition submitted to the people under the initiative, petitions from 11 of the State’s 16 congressional districts are required, with the names of ‘not more” than 8 per cent of the voters of each district. This, o& it stands today, would be fulfilled by one signature in each district, 11 in all. But the Legislature has the right to fix a percentage, not higher than 8, : be required. ONLY 40,000 NAMES NEEDED TO INSURE HAVING VOTE. == ECRETARY OF STATE ROACH, who will - be official recipient of the petitions if there are any, has figured the matter out on an 8, per cent basis, and says it would taxe about 40,000 names to make up.8 per cent of the vote in the 11 dryest districts of the State. ‘Forty thousand names!” say the Prohibition- iste. “Why, that’s easy.

time it is admitted that several thousand of women and minors are'on the petition Mrs. Ingalls, who says the W. C. T. U, started @ majority of the present petitions, declares tha® ” new petitions will be made ready at once, if the Assembly fails to act, and that the prohibit question, without any tax riders or wait-till-19l@ amendments, will be put before the people. —j.

WORRIED BY Ss POSSIBILITY OF TESTING LAW. ~ HERE is one thing, in connection with th | T initiative end of the matter which we : | the drys and gives hope to the wets. is the fact that the aforesaid initiative has been tested in the courts. If a “case” can be made of it--and who ever saw the matter that lawyers could not make | :o case of?—and it can be thrown into the Supreme Court, the “congested” docket of the Court to be good for a year’s delay, at least. So the wets, sub rosa. Senator Peck, who is a lawyer and a banker — anticipates 4 fight in the courts before the prow hibition proposition gets much farther in any form. , “And I imagine the Supreme Court will hoig its ear to the ground a little while before it Ges” cides,”"“Re remarked. “There would be nothing wrong in its doing so. The wishes of-the peogee should govern in this matter.” a ot Oa ee Perhaps, if the initiative is used, we shall fing out what the real issue is. Nearly everybody wh has been arguing before the Legislature lately ha ) accused nearly everybody else of not KnOWIE what the issue is, or of misstating it. against prohibition to the Legislature and som one on the dry side will invariably tell you % question isn’t prohibition but whether the pew ple shall have the right to decide, etc., ete, “3 Talk against the saloons, and you are i di- ately told by the wets that the issue is the Drews” eries and the number of men they employ. — | “No,” answer the drys, “the issue is the pubig morals.” At which the other side comes be with the argument that if saloon liquor the public morals, blind tiger booze exte them altogether. ; MORE VOTES NEEDED .

- Misses Margaret | Knecht. St. Louis Aero Club Will Give Prizes Big Enough to Tempt Foreigners. AEROPLANES TO ENTER Three Days of Flights Pro- posed as Part of October Program. Aerial contests rivaling those for the Lahm cup in St. Louts 18 months ago, will be a part of the centennial celebra. tien next October. Negotiations for the participation of American and foreign aeronauts have already been undettaken by the Aero Club of St. Louis, and there is assur- ance that a large number of craft will be entered. Substantial prizes for the winners of the contests between balleons, aero- planes and dirigibles will be provided from funds now in the treasury ef the chub. a) Three Days ef Flights. Haif ef each of three days in the week, beginning Oct. 4, will be devoted te @erial races ani exhibftions. On the first day—Monday— there wi!) be con- tests between spherical baileons. In these everts there will be entered at least three balloons of the Aero Club ef St. Leuis, several belonging te clubs in. ether American cities, and probably a considerable number of ethers from Eurepé. Friday and Saturday of cen- tennmial week will be set apart for aero- nautic tourndiments, in which aere- planes’ and steerable balloens will en- gage. lL. D. Dozier, president of the Aero Club of St. Louis, told a Pest-Dispatch reporter yesterday that the events will be international in character and im- port. Besides the money subscribed by the local ciub, the executive committee of the Centen.ial Association has ap- propriated $12,00 for the expenses of the contests. The »rizes will be large enough to justify foreign entries. ‘Start at Newstead and Cheuteau. The race for spherical balloons will Start from the concourse recently leased by the Aero Club of St. Louis at New- stead and Chouteau avenues. This is a tract of about three acres, adjoining one of the Laclede Gas Light Co.'s big- nest holders. This reservoir will be filled. with pure coal gas the day before ine cofitests so that the most important condition next to good weather will be met. Awothe: course for the aeroplanes and cirtgibles will be obtained elsewhere, but just in what part of the city has not been determined. The focal balloons that are sure to be entered are the Yankee. belonging to ‘Capt. H. E. Honeywell and the 8t. J.euis No. 8 of the Aero Club. Each of these has a capacity of ,000 cubic feet. A third. of 40,000 capacity, will be delivered ts the Aero Club shortly. Councilman Albert Bond Lambert has qualified as a pilot and undoubtedly will bo In one of the balloons entered by the local club. ee JUDGE INTIMATES MAN WILL GET CHILD A DAY EACH WEEK Habeas Corpus Suit of J. F. Holsch- bach, a Dentist, Taken Under Advisement. The habeas corpus suit of John F. Holschbach, a dentist, against his wife, Mrs. Nellie Holschbach of 4093 South Grand evenue, to get posses- sion of a daughter, Viola, 5 years old. was heard yerterday by Circuit Judge Hitchcock, In taking the case under advisement the Judge intimated that he would not 1 take the child from the mother. but would tinake an order giving the fa- ther privilege to have the girl in his. eustody one day each week and to have her with him two weeks in the summer vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Holschbach separated in April, 1907 she taking the child. Bhe obtained a aivorce in the Circuit Court, but the Court.of Appeals. last November, reversed the action of the lower court. Since then Mrs. Holsch- bach, upon advice of her attorney, has refused’ to allow her busband to have the child once a week, according to an agreement entered into when the divorce case was tried. DEAF MUTE CHILDREN TO GIVE A SACRED CONCERT Pupils of Sisters of St. Joseph Also Will Give Exhibition of Lip Reading. Children who can neither speak nor hear will give a sacred concert at St. Leo’s Halil, Twenty-third and Mul- lanphy streets, May 2 Those having parts 'n the entertainment are pu- plia of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who nduct schools at $01 North Garrison venue and 1849 Cass avenue. In addition to the musjcal program there will be exhibitions of deaf mutes “talking” and “hearing” with- out the use of articulate sounds. This will be accomplished by “lip-reading,” the system employed by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Some of the principal numbers of the program are “An Oft Retold Par- able,” “The Nation's Favorite Hymn,”’ and “A Prince Who Never of Us.,” The eblef vocel selections will be sung by Nolan and Fida Mise Gertrude Smith will the instrumental music.

Ft: oa SUNDAY M ' THE STATE DEFICIT. The Legislature should heed Gov. Hadley’s ap- peal for revenue legislation and act promptly to save the State from grave embarrassment. This is the most important State business before the General Assembly. The failure of the effort to equalize assessments makes it, imperative that provision be made for the impending deficit. Niggardly as the estimates are—illustrated by the ridiculously inadequate university allotment—they still exceed the ex- pected revenue by more than $2,000,000. The only recommendation of the Governor which the Post- Dispatch has criticised is the proposed tax on corporations that was objected to only because it was a makeshift which represented an injustice, in view of the grossly unjust assessments under the present system. But the principle of franchise taxation urged by the Governor is just and is based upon sound public policy. The tax upon inheritances, the license on whole- sale and retail liquor dealers and clubs are fair sources of revenue, while the substitution of a practical method of State inspection" of oil for the present, system of local inspectors would be commendable from any standpoint. Gov. Hadley’s plan of taxing liquor manufactur- ers and general dealers might be broadened to include a direct State tax on dramshops apart from the local license. Under the existing law the local license may be not less than $250 nor more than $400 during a six-months period, for county purposes, the city being regarded as a county under the law. Of this amount the State re- ceives not less,than $50 nor more than $200 an- nually. In this city the State receives $200 and the municipality $500 a year. There is no reason why the State, as the Federal Government does, should not levy a fixed tax on all dramshops of from $300 to $500 a year and permit the local authorities to fix their licenses as conditions and needs may require. A State tax of this kind would bring to the Treasury a large revenue and would have a wholesome effect in the increase of the license and the decrease of saloons. Whether the Legislature accepts all of the Gov- ernor’s recommendations or not, it should find sources of revenue. It should assure the State sufficient income to meet all of its obligations and needs. — = = ) i i Zoophilpsychosis is the newest disease.

The fall of Contantinople may be either the be- ginning or the end of a revolution. The Chris- tian world will hope it is the latter. Sympathy will therefore go to the Young Turks, or the Con- stitutionalists, as they call themselves. They have shown as much self-restraint as determina- tion. They have declared for order in their war- fare as well as in their government and by prov- ing their power to maintain it in a time of stress and excitement promise certainty of performance in a time of peace. ; There is none of the savagery or the fanaticism They have shown calmness, patience and an un- resentful spirit even toward the sinister Sultan, from whom, as a type, has sprung the infamous reputation conventionally awarded to the Turk- ish people. Even now they do not demand his head. When the realization of predictions should show them ravening for the blood of the tyrant, they seem to be concerned only with the question of political expediency. Will they depose the Sultan? Will they end the reign of this typical Oriental potentate? Around Abdul Hamid I! is drawn a_ veil of impenetrable mystery. No monarch, dur- ing the 33 years he has been on the throne, has been the subject of. such world-wide curiosity. None has been the inspiration of so much writing and none has been such a thorn in the side of civilization or of the great powers. It would not be surprising if he retained the throne -in this new crisis, although stripped of power. He seems to have some uncanny power to accord with the reports of his déeds that read like fairy tales. These tales picture him as debauchee, religious fanatic and skeptic. He has hardly seen a civ- ilized city nor has he had a civilized man for his friend. He lives in the strictest seclusion and is in constant fear of assassination. He rules over exerted by’ the individual in full measure and] of the “unspeakable Turk’ in their proceedings. | > ene S655 “fated $y Wes POI LRT TIL ELIE, SRI, ONS BR EI DP , x a ’ = Hy A, ALFA ‘ 1 - ae ae J PS ae te . : 0 is 3 > ee ee = Pa ee: hehe ss 4 Se SOS RO aa a ae on eat Fe i ile eee } ’ i fractional No premium on @ con be = on it.

COLLIER. _ Ample evidence of the contributions commerce ‘makes to art and literature will be found in the areers of Heinrich Conried and Peter Fenlon ‘Collier, both of whom died Saturday.

Im- posing piles of architectural display are not li- ae raries after all, and Dickens, Irving, Grote and Fe gbetr peers in the home are practical educators. » Conried was'an actor. The assertion of his D tural qualities made him a manager. The dis- ‘ of those qualities brought him the direc- #ion of the Irving Place Theater and finally o@ him at the head of the great Metropolitan a House. 3 : ~ All his predecessors in this field had been im- A os typical of Bohemia, dreamers of great Things, fine executives in artistry, but lacking the . and hardheadedness essential to the com- hercial administration of artistic enterprise.

He was stage manager, neratic ttor, critic and treasurer. He took grand when it was languishing and when its sup- were discouraged. He put it on a busi- ne basis and by showing the possibilities he inspired other managers to carry to the general ic at reasonable prices what he could not self.

A new feature of the meager appropriation for the State University, to which attention is called by President Hill, is that the deficit will proba- bly have to come out of the new allotment of funds. Thus the allowance for the institution will be reduced from $844,000 to $600,000 for the first this time. As Dr. Hill says, the university will run and no effort will be spared to make the money go as far as possible. But how great the difficulty will be is best illustrated by showing that for one year the institution will have to get along on prac- tically a million dollars less than the curators thought necessary. Dr. Hill also pointed out that the student en- rollment at the university had increased 30 per cent in two years. Nothing could paint so em- phatically to the necessity for liberality. The university must.not only be well maintained; its facilities must be increased to meet the demand of Missouri’s youth for education. i, La Ae -~ Fe = With persistent disregard for the teachings of experience Aldrich and his supporters argue that higher tariff rates will bring more revenue. As a matter of fact higher tariff rates decrease im- portations, increase the price of competing do- mestic commodities and turn the profits into the pockets of the trusts, not into the Federal treas- ury. The reduction of-four-hundredths of a cent a pound on sugar means only the diversion of a few millions from the Treasury to the trust. The people won't get the benefit. = = ™ ee. JULIA WARD HOWE. Julia Ward Howe, who celebrates her. ninetieth birthday next month, is a confirmed and irre- claimable optimist. To a writer in Putnam’s Magazine she said: “The, deeper I drink of the cup of life the sweet- er it grows—the sugar all at the bottom.” Ex- plaining this, she added: “You see, my husband was a very great man; and I had very dear chil- dren; and I have delightful grandchildren; and I have two great-grandchildren—and I am very fond of little children.” To this we may add that Dr. Howe's wife was a very great woman, which makes the tale of good fortune complete. When good fortune and unusual personal pow- er, wide and deep sympathies and a considerable measure of what we may call prophetic insight unite in one person, a happy life is bound to be the result. No other woman of the nineteenth century has a better title to ‘respect and venera- tion for human service than Mrs. Howe. In her youth she took up a position on the unpopular side of two great popular questions—slavery and woman's rights. As Napoleon's value on the battlefield: was estimated by his enemies to be equal to three army corps, so Mrs. Howe's “Bat- tle Hymn of the Republic” inspired thousands of tired fighting men as they fought for four long years to make men free. It was the voice of # woman, but who can estimate its worth in terms of army corps. As a soldier Mrs. Howe deserves rank among the heroes of the war between the states. Of the second cause which she espoused it may be said that Mrs. Howe. has lived to see an advance undreamed of by even the most en- thusiastic when the suffrage movement first took shape in the forties of the last century. And she may live to see full political, if not economic equality, realized for her sex, But Mrs. Howe has been a force in all other forward and upward movements of humanity. To characterize her service in a phrase, it may be of human pow er from bondage of all sorts, the bondage of worn. out law, of respectable preju- nue year, which is just about the cost of running at said that she has always worked for the liberation | He has seen during his reign vast territories de- tached from his kingdom. He was crushed in one great war and triumphant in one smaii one. He let a powerful fleet go to ruin and allowed his army to degenerate. He has been the ally of France and England in turn and now he has no supporter unless the Kaiser is willing to play the role. But he has defied Europe time and again with impunity and he has outraged the conscience of the civilized world and smiled about it. He has trampled under foot the most solemn engage- ments. He has put the greatest diplomats to un- seemly flight and taken the visits of battleships sent to threaten him as a courteous call and has always made the occasion one for new promises, certain te be.broken. He has pledged himself to protect the lives and property of his Christian subjects and then set deliberately about their extermination. Gladstone called him the “great assassin.” He deposed and confined his brother for 28 years. He all but murdered his own daugh- ter. He has fomented strife in the Balkans, set a premium on brigandage and promoted a hun- dred massacres. But his grip on the throne has never before been loosened. The fact of the matter seems to be that Abdul Hamid knows Europe better than Europe knows itself. He has always known how far to go and where to stop. He has known that the British Em- bassy in Constantinople stands upon ground pre- sented to England in gratitude for help against France in 1801; that the site of the French Embas- sy was given to France in thankfulness for help against England in 1807; that a shaft in the Scu- tari Cemetery commemorates English and French support against Russia in-1857 and that another monument on the Bosphorus tells how Russia saved the Turkish Empire in 1833. Fortified by the divisions and jealousies of the powers, Abdul Hamid has survived the loss of Egypt, Crete, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Roumelia. History presents no parallel to his remarkable career and if that career is to end, it must be through the action of his own people, aroused. at last to a measurable appreciation of constitutional government. But there was a Young Turks party when Abdul Hamid seized the throne, and he was a member of it. Through all the years he has reigned there has been a Young Turks party. He has exiled and disposed of so many of its leaders that he knows it well. The Sultan is politician as well as diplomat. His remarkable self-assurance cannot be better told than in the massacres still in .Progress in Adana. No one doubts they were the work of the Sultan. It was his way of diverting attention from the uprising at home and calling for foreign intervention with which he knew well how to deal. There is no hope of better things in Turkey or in Asia Minor as the result of concerted action by the powers. The success of the revolution will be measured by the Chris- tian world according to the Sultan’s fate. The Constitutionalists seem sane and capable, but they must extinguish reactionary impulse to hold the advantages they have won. he hi he —— -_ How do pate de foie gras and truffles rank when wheat is a dollar and something and but-., ter prices can be seen only with a telescope? = = -~— - If the feudal barons of the Middle Ages, who robbed for a living, were around today they would be forming trusts and cornering wheat.

The casual traveler in Italy, if he cared to note, might see how, on Good Friday, foolish waxen im- ages of the Blessed Virgin are set up in glass cases at the corners of the streets and on the corners of houses. One casual’ traveler did so see them in Florence, and smiled. and shrugged. The lit- tle figures were all dressed in up-to-date con- ventional mourning, with crepe veils and—save the mark!—a tiny white. pocket handkerchief apiece. The direct Latin mind saw nothing incongruous in treating the far-away event as though it had happened yesterday. And after awhile the traveler came to fall in with the manner of thought, and if not always to share, at least to feel ashamed of his inability to share. Once in a little hill village in Tuscany he saw the dead Christ carried to his tomb up the steep street in wistful and commemorative pageantry. All the popu- lation that were not in the procession were at their windows or on their doorsteps, or packed close against the housefronts to leave the marrow paven way clear. First came a band playing the dead march; then roughly costumed Roman soldiery with the centurion Longinus in their midst. Then fol- lowed boys bearing aloft on tall poles the instruments of the Passion: nails, spear, sponge, reed, the crown of thorns, pincers and hamimer, dice and seamless coat, the scourge that struck, the hand that buffet- ed. Then came the clergy and companies of men with banners, intoning all a Latin hymn, which could not drown the shuffling of steady feet upon the pave- ment; still other men bore on a bier the dead Christ. wounded and half naked as his friends had taken him from the cross. Nicodemus was there, and Jo- seph of Arimathea, old figures with all the piteous- ness of age. More soldiery followed the watch that Scribes and Pharisees were so eager to set. The si- lence all around, the mingled sounds, the flickering lights in the midst of darkness, which made the world of every-day stand far and strange, seemed to draw near the great, the far-away event. The lights and figures passing out of sight and fouhd again as the road dipped and rose; the different strains of. music irregularly heard, as wind and sea are heard in storm, and through all the march of hu- man footfalls, and above all the threb of human emo tlons—these things awoke vibrations In the most in- different heart, stirred deeper currents than day by day may feed the consciousness. The singing grew shriller as girls in white and blue came by, and be- hind and before worn and grave women, who had borne children and seen them die. These bore the image of the sorrowing Mother, dressed as a widow like their own widows, and the veil and the hand- kerchief seemed foolish no more, but only very pite- ous as grief is ever piteous. We must cover our faces and wipe our tears, and the little rags of black and white are sacred tokens and holy pledges of the unity of ali mankind in mourning. The Mother of Sorrows there stood for a!l sorrowing motherhood. for all who have faced the mysterious finality of death. The ancient story was revived again, grown universal, and included all ages and all forms of faith. And the terror and pity of death and sor- row, the everlasting beauty of pardon and love, purified the heart and cleared the vision. “LET US ALONE.” From the New York Tribune.

BETTER POLICE FORCE Lid Will Not Be Put on, but Saloons Will Be Forced to Obey Laws. + Many public improvements and civic reforms are promised by the new Gran- ite City administration, which was put into office when the Labor ticket won a majority of the offices at the elec- tion last week. Granite City has a about 10,000. The city ed only 15 years ago, but did not be- \gin te develop until 1899. The real growth of the place has taken place in the last ten years, and the citizens are very proud of the record made in that decade. There are half a dozen great indus- tries in Granite City which employ about 9000 men, but all the workmen do not reside in Granite City. Hundreds of them make their homes in others of the Tri-Cities. These industries are the cern products factory, employing 1200; the American Steel foundries, employing 2000; the Commonwealth Steel Co., employing 1500; the relling mills, employing 2000; the stamping works, employing 1500, and the Hoyt Metal Ce., employing about 800. Improvements Promised. The new administration proposes to give this bustling industrial community a new sewer system, which will mean the expenditure of $80,000 to $40,000 at once; a change in the police force which will work for greater efficiency; lower water rates, bétter streét car facilities and more cars on the two interurban lines which pass through Granite City, a public park and well regulated sa- loens. “We won't put the lid on,” said Al- derman Jacob C.

which the Post-Dispatch made a year ago among many shops in certain districts of the city. This latest measure is a compromise between the wishes of the Health De- partment and the views of the Master Bakers’ Association, which objected to legislation pending a year ago as too stringent. It is belleved that no success- ful opposition to the regulative ordin- ance will develop in either branch of the present Assembly. Ne Medical Examizations. in the bill now before the House of Delegates there is no requirement that employes of bakeries shall submit to medfcal examination at regular inter- vais, although authority is given the Health Commissioner to demand a phy- sician’s certificate that all workers in such shops shall be free from contagious or communicable diseases. Additional provisions are that baker- jeg shall be conducted in rooms having cellings at least 10 feet high; that no toilets or ashpits shall be permitted in the quarters used for the manufacture or sale of bakers’ products; that the premises shall be cleanly and sanitary, and be painted and whitewashed at the directian of the Health Commissioner; that no fowls or’ animals ‘shal’ be al- Jowed in. the bakeries and that no per- sgn suffering, from any contagious or communicable disease shall be engaged in the making or selling of bread or ‘other products. \ e A. penalty ‘ranging’ from‘ $10 ° to’ $100 $s fixed for any violation of the proposed ordinance. “ | DIRECTORS TO SAY WHO'S WHO ' IN REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE New - Board Will Choose President _ Owing to Tie:Votes for Blake . and Gundlach.

The ‘ ballot, however, did not conform to ' “the rules which the election managers way had been laid dewn before the ‘election and therefore was declared ne vote. .. The point also has been raised that ‘the new board cannet be called into session except by order of the chair- man of the old board.

These statistics were laid before the ministers attending the Presbyterian Evangelistic conference at St. Charles when some of them criticised the cost of the Gipsy Smith meetings. Dr. Mauze was chairman of the exec- utive board that had charge of the ae Smith meetings at the Coliseum. ’ estimates that if one-half of the peo- ple who signed the cards at the Coliseum meetings were converted the cost of salvation by -evangelization was about $10 for each convert, or one-thirtieth of the cost of salvation by routine church methods. Conversions by Gipsy Smith. “At least 500 of those who were con- verted at the Gipsy Smith meetings have been taken into the churches,” said Dr. Mauze to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘“‘The cost of salvation by evangelization, if no more than that number joined the churches or will join as the result of the meetings, was $30, or about one- tenth of the cost of savation as accom. plished by the Presbyterian churches of this district. . “Some criticism of the cost of the Gipsy Smith meetings was made at the St. Charles Conference, and I gave these statistics to show how the results com- pared with our own church work. “We have in our presbytery 16 minis- ters who work hard throughout the year to save souls, and associated with them are the church and Sunday-schoo!l officers, teachers and members. Dur- ing the past year we got 145 new mem- bers at a cost of $42,000. Cost Shews Work Is Hard. “The cost of saving souls in the St. Louis district is about the same as in the Presbyterian churches throughout the country. The statistics indicate thai the worlk is either very hard or Wwe are not making a wise expenditure of our money and energy. “It may be that/the churches have pe- come too much of a mutual admiration society instead of an aggressiver evan- gelistic agency. We may be doing too much work in the trenches, and not enough in the fleld of battle; we may be ‘building up too many defenses instead of being out on the firing line to at- tack the enemy and flank his move- ments. “There seems to be a lack of aggres- siveness in church work. It might be that if we did not run the churches so much for ourselves and wat out more into the evangelistic flelds better results would be accomplished.’’

FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES PLAN TO QUIT SPRINGFIELD They Threaten to Cancel Policies Unless Department Is Strengthened. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 24.—Busi- ness men of Springfield were today noti- fied by representatives of practically every insurance company in the State that unless radical ranges are made in the Fire Department at once they will cease to do business in this city and cancel all policies, This threat on the part of the com- panies is due to lax discipline and porr equipment of the department. The in- surance companies demand that the de- partment be under the control of a commission entirely free of politics. Business men are busy today trying. to hurry arrangements to prevent the cancellation of their insurance policies. The department is now without a chief, William Canada having been summarily dismissed several weeks ago following an investigation.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor went twice today to Presi- dent Taft at the White House to have the authority of the 8S. N. D. North, Di- rector of the Census, established. After the first interview with the President, Secretary Nagel refused to be interviewed, but after his second visit he said that he had not preferred any charges against Mr. North. and had made no investigation of any sort in North's bureau. The question had presented itself, he said, as to whether the secretary should have full or divided responsibility and authority over the Census Bureau and he was © not averse to settling the question at this time. During a recent hearing on the cen- sus bill before the Senate, Committee on Census, Director North was .ques- tioned concerning possible conflicts be- tween himself and the Secretary of Commerce and Laber., Senator Cum- mins said: ‘‘Suppose that the secretary should not be satisfied with the list of questions that you would prepare for applicants for positions, has he any power to change that list?” ‘He certainly has the power to ask me to change it and I certainly would,”’ replied Director North.

The Natiello programs are gems of art and fit the time and place. Being a composer and arranger of rare merit, he interpolates his own variations tu themes, particularly to the so- popular numbers, to please his audience. Unusually versatile in diver- sions that appeal to hfs hearers, he has made a hit by filing the trombones, trumpets and cornets to the front in platoon to give a fitting climax to cer- tain selections. Catchy clarinet and cornet duets, brass quartettes and reed and brass sextettes are often inter- spersed to give pleasing variety to the al never Riso, many called program. Rut the feature of last season was his Cocoanut Quartette, which came to the front to strike the rhythm of Hermann's “Cocoanut Dance” with cocoanuts.

Many improvements have been made at Delmar Garden, and the place will be a revelation to those who visit {t next In the place of the old cot tage they will find a beautiful village of Spanish type of architecture.

Very few contempvraneous plays have received the distinguished con- MNideration accorded to. this prilliant work, especially written for Mrs. Fiske, by young Edward Sheldon, a Harvard man not yet 25 years old. The produc- tion is said to be remarkable in many ways, end the company in keeping with the excellent judgment always displayed by Harrison Grey Fiske in the selec tion of Mrs. Fiske's support. Beginning “sunday, May 9, and contin- uing twice daily for an unlimited en- gagement, the Garrick Theater an- nounces the Lyman Howe Travel Pic- tures, which, during their former visits at the Odeon, were enthusiastically re- ‘eived. Mr. Howe is said to have ar- ranged an entirely new series of pic- tures with telling effect, making them both educational and entertaining in their interest. close of the Garrick’s the engagement of Following the regular season with Mrs. Fiske, Manager Dan S. Fishell will immediately begin arranging for the opening of the musical and operatic theater at Delmar, which, during the summer season now soon to begin, will be under his management. He promises brilliant productions. The regular season at Havlin's Thea- ter closed with last night’s production of “Tracey, the Outlaw.”” Manager Garen states that the box office re- ceipts have been larger than during any preceding season, and he wishes to thank the playgoing public and to an- nounce that the reduced prices of the past season will again prevail next year. He contemplates several changes, one of which will be a ‘ladies’ bargain day| matinee,’’ on Wednesdays and Fri- days, admission 15 cents, which, accom- panied by a printed coupon from one of the Sunday papers, will entitle holders to the best seats in the house. Manager Garen leaves soon for Atlantic City, where he will remain until time to make arrangements for next season's Havlin opening. The house will be redecorated and renovated, and even a better class of offerings for 1909-10 is promised. Bonds,’ a pla} of rail- road jug by E. B.

Miller of St. Louis, at the Knights of-Columbus Hall last Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Blind Girls’ Home was a notable suc- cess, and the authors are tobe con- gzratulated for having created a clever musical play.

Lavine as Buffo, the court fool. Mr. George Bluthards ac- quitted himself admirably at the plano, and the chorus work, especially in the second act, was excellent. The Apollo Club, under the capable dt- rection of Charles Galloway, won the highest honors of its suevessful history in the closing concert of its season at the Odeon last Wednesday evening. It has never before sung quite so well, its achievement being particularly notable in Rheinberger’s ‘‘Thou Bright, Sunny Earth,” Lorenz's “Roses I'll. Toss to Thee," Hanscom's “Spanish Serenade,” Fique's “The Pilot,” and Brackett’s “Cavalier’s Song.” | | Jeanette Gerville-Reache, prima donna contralto of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, scored a brilijant tri- umph, especially in Bomberg’s splendidly impressive ‘‘Hindoo Chant,” yet hardly less memorable was her singing of the arias from Saint-Saens’ “Samson and Delilah” and Gluck’s “Orpheus and Eu- rydice.”” Alexander Zukoski, the violin- ist, was heard to advantage in Wienaw- ski's “Souvenir de Moscow,” with « Chopin nocturne as encore, and tn Sa- rasate’s “Spanish Dance” and Tartini’s “Devil Thrill.” Manager Talbot of@he Gem Theater is justly proud of the engagement of Virginia Hayden, the marvelous female baritone, at his playhouse. Miss Hay- den has a voice of remarkable quality in the lower register, naturally deep- toned, and it is employed with the ut- most ease, certainty and emotional’ ex- | pression. Manager Talbot ~annouhces that arrangements have now n per- fected that will make the Gem one of the coolest theaters in St. Louts, and that wires will be installed this week for the handling of ball game returns for the convenience of “fan’’ playgoers. Eclipse Garden, the popular South Side summer amusement resort, will open its season on Sunday evening, May -, with Arthur Stanley and his stock company, in the Iinteresting drama en- Vtled “A Minister's Devotion.” On Monday evening, May 3, “An American Hero” will be presented.

MRS, CABANNE OT WIFE OF BRANDENBURG Author Who Kidnaped Boy in St. Louis Admits There Was No Marriage.

SAN FRANCISCU, Cal., Neither Broughton little “Shep” home.’’ Brandenburg has retdined Jaw- yers York and Shep, with his arms around his ‘‘dad's’’ rather be here, even in prison, than in St. Louls with “granny.” Brandenburg, admitted to a Post-Dis- paich reporter today that he was not married to Mrs. Cabanne, the mether, but protested against the publi- cation of his asscrtion lest it injure lis case. Heretofore he has contended the . April Brandenburg Cabanne want to New to fight his extradition neck, cries that he would boy's . Woman was wedded to him after she ob- tained the divorce she claims to have had from James Shepard Cabanne. The prisoner also told how he had eluded the St. Louis police by placing the kidnaped boy in a large wicker bas- két, labeled “‘scientific instruments.”’ He carried the basket aboard a train at the Iinion Station and as soon as possible transferred the lad to,a berth. The boy described this experience graphically in telling his story of the ad- ventures subsequent to his departure from hts grandmother’s home. The charge of forgery, which was lodged against Brandenburg shortly aft- er the exposure in connection with the article. purporting to be by Grover Cleveland, and printed as such in the New York Times, has been dismissed. Now only a charge of larceny stands against him. The alleged larceny con- sisted in accepting money for the spu- rious article. ‘Brandenburg will resist being taken back to New York on technical charges and District Attorney Jerome will bring all the machinery of his office to up- hold those .technicalities. He has wired already, asking that, if Brand- enburg is admitted to bail, the amount ef his bond be made as high as possible. Brandenburg and the boy met for the firet time since Brandenburg’s arrest im the jail offices today. Boy Glad te See Dad. “Come, give dad a big hug, man,” said Brandenburg, gently, and Shep ran to the outstretched arms, threw his own slender arms around the man’s neck and laid his pale cheek against the sleulder of his “step- ii) “— doen't want to go back,”’ he said, pasionately, “I won't go back to gran- my. I want to stay with you.”’ And the little fellow’s lip quivered as Brendenburg stroked his hair. When @emeone said that his father was com- ing for him, Shep burst into tears. “Never mind, little man,”’ Brandenburg, ‘‘that'll] be all right. they ever take you away I'll get you again.” While Brandenburg was busy with his attorneys at the clty prison, little Cab- anne was amusing himself aa best he could at the Children’s Detention Home, te which place he was sent on instrtc- tions from the police at St. Louis. The boy had been crying when the Post-Dispatch correspondent called to eee him. “Well what is daddy “‘aeing now?” he asked. “Has he been able to do any- thing yet to get me out of here? I don't want to stay in this place. I ‘want te be with him and mother. I fee! ter- ribly about being here and want to get out right away.. I wish the lawyer would see that Judge and get permission for me to leave here. Through With St, Louis Daddy. “I wonder if mother will be here sron?”’ the boy continued. “I wish all this was cleared up and I was with daddy.” mean your daddy in St. was asked. not,” was the prompt reply. I do not want to go ‘Louts. I would like to get out hough, so I could telegraph Louis datay and simply tell ‘IT am through with him.

HIS BODY IS RECOVERED

Little Chap Thought His Craft Was Seaworthy and Felt Safe.

Extine, 14 years old, vas drowned at Wood River, near Alton, yesterday afternoon because of the un- seaworthiness of a little flatboat that he had built and which he had proudly launched a few minutes before the tragedy. The’.boy went to his death his 6-vear-old brother, Worthy Jr., and bis 14-year-old com- John Halloran, looked helpless- Clarence while Extine panion, lv on, lor working on the feet long and two feet wide. afternoon the little announced that lis craft was The three boys carried the boat a dis- tance of a mile from tte Extine home to Wood River, that has given the town its name. -he boat was pushed off from ashore where the bank dropped suddenly and where half a foot away from the shore waters run deep. A rope held by Clar- ence Extine brought the boat in. shore again after its launching and he stepped in. The boat career’ | and the boy, laugh- ing, grasped each side and took a sit- ting position. Then he called to his brother and to Halloran to come in with him. Halloran saw that the boat was not safe. r “Come out, Clarence,’ he called. But the boy did not heed him and Worthy Extine seemed on the point of jumping in when Halloran took him by the arm and dragged him back. Halloran and Worthy then started from the shore in the hope of persuad- ing Clarence to leave the boat. As they turned, they heard a splash. Looking back, they saw the boat overturned and only bubbles told where Clarence had gone down. The two boys ran up the shore calling for help. It was 15 minutes before they could lead men back to the scene. By that time there was no sign of Clar- ence. The river was dragged, and shortly after 9 o’clock last night the body was recovered. The boy was the son of Worthy Ex- tine, boss of the pumphouse at the Standard Oil Réfinery at Wood River. ENGINE KNOCKS MAN INTO RIVER; FIREMAN LEAPS IN, SAVES HIM Walter Hous, a one-agmed pin and needle peddler, was knocked into Wood River at East Alton last night when the engine of a southbound Chicago & Alton freight train struck him when he was on the bridge crossing the stream. An unidentified fireman on the en- gine, who did not stop long enough to give his name, jumped from the cab inte the water, which is 10 feet deep, and swam to the bank with the uncon- fscious man. Hous was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Alton, where it was found that he was suffering from a fracture of the skull and his right leg Was crushed. FAIR AND WARMER!

It is much to be regretted, Secundi Chiolero will tell you, that the spring style of bridal celebration prevailing in Panama, Ill., does not conform with the conventions as viewed in Hillsboro. It was owing to this divergence in view that Chiolero, 20 minutes after comely Marie Bergandi became his bride yes- terday, was arrested with five men in the bridal party. County Judge Dryer, formed the marriage ceremony, each of the six $190 and costs for charging firearms. Six revolvers, rounds of loaded cartridges, six boxes of blank cartridges and one pair of brass knucks were taken from the men. Panama who had per- fined dis- wn is a mining town 50 miles northwest of St. Louis and about the only diversion it affords out of working hours is revolver practice. The popping of firearms is such a common thing in the village streets that when the Bank of Panama was dynamited a week ago by two yeggmen, who es- caped under a steady fire from Walter Mitchell and his wife, whieh they re- turned, others in the town paid no at- tention at all, because the sound of the firing was such a common thing. The robbers got about $1600. It was a gay wedding party of 1b which set out yesterday morning from Panama, and the 16-year-old bride blushed prettily as County Judge Dryer read the ceremony. After it was over, while the party was at @ soft-drink counter, complaints began pouring into Hillsboro, according to long distance messages to the Post-Dispatch from along the road to Panama that a party of men and women had passed that way, shooting at ev- erything in sight; that they had per- forated practically all the mail boxes along the route, had made barn walls look like sieves and had considerably damaged divers windows. It was on this information that the men in the party were arrested. Trial was immediate. In view of the mitigatink circumstances, Judge Dryer remitted half the fines, but even so the members of the party found that among them they could pool only enough to pay one fine and costs— $72.50. By mutual consent, this was devoted to freeing Chiolero, who rejoined his weeping bride. Followed by her dis- consolate ladies-in-waiting, the couple returned to Panama, to seek money for the release of-the five others in the party. They hadn't been able to get it last night, and the five spent the night In jail.

NED $12.10 FOR STOLEN KISS AND CALLS IT CHEAP Druggist Smacks Woman Who Wanted ‘Something for the Blues.” ——

Druggist John T. Rutledge of 6401 Ma- ple avenue learned to his sorrow in Clayton, yesterday, that a hug and a kiss are not’ the proper remedy to ad- minister to a pretty young married woman suffering from the blues. Unti! Justice I. W. Campbell fined him $1 and taxed $11.10 more as costs for test- ing this prescription of Mrs. Elsie Dui- sen of 604 Crest avenue, ‘Mr. Rutledge was quite sure he had discovered an idea that would make a hit in the next edition of the pharmacopeia. Mrs. Duisen, according to her story to Justice Campbell, was mired very deep in the slough of despond Thursday morning. She went to the drug store kept by Mr. Rutledge to get some medi- cine, “O, I have a terrible case of the blues,” she told Mr. Rutledge. “Can't you give me something to cure them?” Mr. Rutledge was behind the counter, He looked over in Mrs. Duisen’s spark- ling black eyes, and & daring thought crept into his mind. “Certainly, Mrs. Duisen, I ¢an give you something to cure your case of tne blues,” he said, as he walked around from behind the counter. Before the astonished customer real- ized what the remedy was to be, Mr. Rutledge, according to his confession to Justice Campbell, slipped his arms around her waist, gave. her a rousing hug, and at the same time planted a near-soul ms : ner cherry lps, |

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 24. —Sullenly clinging to eo shelter of the Yildiz Kiosk.

Ches- ter (retired) and Mrs. Chester, Arthur Chester of New York, the Admiral’s son, and Mrs. Arthur Chester, Frank Car- penter and Miss Carpenter, Miss Mary Lee, daughter of Robert 8S. Lee, and Junius Morgan of New York. In spite of the surrender of the Yil- diz garrison, where the white flag was hoisted, another detachment of the Sul- tan's bodyguard quartered in the Top- hanch Barracks continued a stubborn resistance for some time longer. They barricaded themselves in a mosque, but finally all were overpowered. Belgian Legation Riddled. The grounds of the Belgian Legation were occupled by a detachment of the local garrison, who took up a position here to oppose the advance of the Con- stitutionalists. In the subsequent skir- ish the legation was riddled with bul- fets. None of the inmates, however, were hurt. The Constitutionalists finally cleared the grounds. As soon as it was definitely known that the fighting was at an end the Streets of the city became thronged with people eager to get the latest news. Pickets from the corps under the command of Niazi Bey, hero of the revolt at Resna last July, entered the Pera at 10:30 and were loudly cheered by the people. Police patrols\at 11 o’clock were visit- ing the shops, @ssuring the occupants that the had nothing to fear and inviting them to open. Admiral Chester expressed the opinion that Schefket Pasha had handled his forces in an admirable manner.

The Constitution was granted to the country on July 24, 1908, when Abdul-Hamid saw he could no longer refuse the demands of the Young Turks. They had been particularly active for four years under the leadership of the Committee of Union and Prbdgress. They had struggled for three decades to overthrow the absolutism of the Sultan and the attending evils of murder, cruelty and tyranny. After years of agitation, In September, 1908, the pressure of new ideas was ao great that the world wae startled by the news that Turkey had @t last thrown

He said: “We are all extremely anxious that no injury shall befall His Majesty, but it will impossible, after recent events, to expect a continuance of respect, sym- pathy and loyalty to the present sov- ereign. Orthodox Moslems attach loy- alty to the office of the Califf rather than to the individual eccupying this office. of “It is the wish of the Constitutional party that the necessary change in sov- ereigns be brought about by voluntary means, and I have no reason to believe that before long a new sovereign will ascend the threne of Turkey. This change will insure the restoration of tranquility.” Armenian Town Burned, Many Dead. BEIRUT, Asiatic Turkey, April #.— According to the latest information of the fanatical. anti-Christian rioting around Alexandretta, the Armenian vil- lage of Kessab has been burned and many persons have been killed. Women and children are fugitives in the moun- tains, exposed to hungér and violence. The situation at Beilan, a short dis- tance south, jis critical. Native hordes are moving on Suediah, 18 miles south- west of Antioch. American Embassy Guarded. WASHINGTON, April 2.—Dispatches from Ambassador Leishman _ received this afternoon say the wound suffered’ by American Correspondent Frederick Moore at Constantinople is not consid- ered dangerous. The Ambassador says he managed to have Moore transported through the firing line and the wound- ed man is resting comfortably in the French hospital. Mr. Leishman adds that the American Embassy is well protected by a guard of soldiers detailed by the commanding

officer of the invading forces. Revolution Result of 50 Years’ | Work for Reform and Progress The stirring events of the past fort- night are attributed to the machina- tions of Abdul-Hamid who believed that the time was ripe for the over- throw of the Young Turks. His ha- tred of them was acute, but concealed, When the troops made their violent demonstration before the Parliament building on April 18, the Sultan and his emissaries sought to convey the impression to the world that Turkey had tried constitutional government and repudiated it. Abdul-Hamid’s plot was discovere, quickly and the success of the Young Turks apparently is even more signif- icant than was the opening of their Parliament last December. The Young Turks stand for modern education, modern industries and transportation facilities, the elimination of graft, ana all that goes to make up a modern, model government. It has never been successfully de- nied that the jealousies of the Pow- ers have been responsible for shame- ful conditions in Turkey for nearly a century.” Russia, Germany, England and France awaited the ember- | the actual 2 ‘eee

| many of the revolutions in Turkey, The present movement has been es- sentially directed by and for the en- lightenment as against the palace co- terie. The main @iestion before Parlia- ment was the agrarian problem. Tens of thousands of peaceful and industri- ous peasants have been driven from their flelds and homes within the past twenty years by Nomad Kurds. This was in keeping with the Yildiz policy to exterminate Christians, especially Armenians, inorder to free the Sultan of the fear of a partitior of his em- pire. Agricultural resources, which former- ly were flourishing and in which grain was cheap and famine utrusual, were devastated by the herds of the Kurds The latter divided the spoils with the palace clique. Many thousands have returned to their rightful lands within the past four or five years under the promise that their homes would be re- stored and their lives protected. The Armenian massacres are proof of the manner in which the Sultan has kept his promises. The Armenians revolted against their Kurdish despots. Dwellers in the cities wearied of the extortion of the officials. The Young Turks took thelr place at the head of these so-called revolution- ists who held the good of Turkey at heart. The army was won over to the Cause by means of a secret propaganda. The Young Turks declared that the soldiers must be paid regularly for their services and not have to depend on pil- lage. Revolt Foments 50 Years, The present movement has been fo- menting since 1856 when Abdul Medjid, father of Abdul Hamid, proclaimed a constitution which was never put into effect. A parliament was called and a constitution enacted in 1877 on the as- cendancy of Abdul Hamid, but both Were abandoned after a month’s trial. The Sultan was no more sincere in his present endorsement than he was Minute Pen Picture

at that time. He was pledged to des- potism, and, ag head of the church and staté, believed himself supreme in all things and planned to maintain this supremacy. All Turkish law was em- braced in the Koran and a few tradi- tional decrees of Mahomet and his im- mediate successors. The new regime started In December, under seemingly favorable auspices.’ Kiamil Pasha, an aged and capable staterman was appointed Grand Vizier. The oniv recrvimJnation directed against tue .Your.z Turks was that they with- drew their confidence tm Kiamil Posha anid me resigned on F*b id. Hilmi Pasha succceded him end two other radical reformers were installed in the cabinet. Tney were theor sts and democratic demagogues. They meant well, but were impracticable. Since his retirement, Kiamil Pasha _ strenuously opposed the too enterprising and rad- ical political excursions of the Young Turks. He, with other constitutional] conservatives, formed an opposition. He openly accused the Committee of Un- ion and Progress of plotting against the new government. These accusations undoubtedly -were unfounded. The Sultan took advantage of dissensions among the Young Turks and Censervatives to attempt the re- cent coup d'etat. He is said to have spent large sums of money from his own coffers to cor- rupt the army, which is the very spir- it of the nation. He got the help of the clergy and preached that the Young Turks were bad Mohamme- dans. He is quoted as saying: ‘Sooner than be ruled by the Committee of Un- ion and Progress, I will ruin Turkey and myself. I will be the last of the sultans.”’ ' The Young Turks, as a result of their victory yesterday, undoubtedly will resume their work of cutting off graft, wasting money on 4 useless navy, and will improve the discipline and morals of the army. Drawn of the Sultan of Turkey as He Is Today BDUL-HAMID, the Sick Man, is A the most mysterious personage of our time, says Nicholas C. Adossides, formerly attache of the Turkish Foreign Office, in the Amer- ican Magazine. No other has 80 oc- cupied the imagination of the world; no other has been so feared and so hated: no other has be2n so much the theme of the contemporary historian. “Rather tall and exceedingly slen- der, Abdul-Hamid has the unstudied stoop of the consumptive. His face ts wrinkled parchment, as if a thousand anxieties and suspicions had left their impress there. His features, besides cruelty and cunning, denote intelli- gence and cowardice. The eyes, of almond shape, by far the mast Inter- esting detail of his person, are dark and piercing, aged with eternal sus- picion. They denote high Intellect, extraordinary intelligence, subtle re- finement and pitiless cruelty. Face Indicates Passion. “The thin upper lip and the thick, sensual lower, indicate a combination of passion, trascibility and selfishness. His nose is aquiline, and lends to the face the appearance of a bird of prey. The chin, though hidden by a beard, is weak and indecisive. “The voice, however, belies the face. It Is marvelously subile and insinuat- ing, meicdious in its modulations, and full of dulcet tones, ‘With this re- tnarkable voice Abdul-Hamid has been able to seduce nearly everybody who has approached him, even his antag- onists. “I remember that once My father, en his return from the palace, Where he had an audience with His Majesty, said: ‘ how cruel this man is, Although J know sien without be- and charm.’ slaves of different races; himself the shila of a consumptive mother and a tubercular father, he belongs to an enfeebled dynasty that is afflicted with every kind of disease, both of body and mind, to the point of actual in- sanity. “Abdul-Hamid has gathered around himself an entourage such as no sov- ereign hag ever had, having brought to- gether the vilest and most corrupt men to be found In his realms; and when they were not bad enough for his pur- pose, he has taken upon himself the task of fashioning them in his own image. All his policy consists In study- ing their vices and making such use of their weaknesses, hatreds, jealousies and discords as to render a combination against him impossible. Is Calmed by Blood. “Not only is the life of @ man who is troublesome to him of little account, but spilled blood seems to calm and soothe his shattered nerves, always stretched to the snapping point. “ ‘at night, before going toe sleep,’ one of his chamberlains told my broth- er, ‘he has someone read to him. Hig favorite books are those giving de- tailed accounts of assassinations and executions. The stories of crimes ex- cite him and prevent him sleeping, but as.soon as his reader reaches « Passage where punishment falls upon the criminal the Sultan immediately becomes calm and falls asleep.’ “When the Sultan wishes money, he gets it at once, with no admissible de- lay. When, for example, he was about to be visited by the Emperor of Ger. his pretended friend, Abdul. Hamid prepared a remarkable recep- tion. He constructed a special palace Serasim $300,000,000, it would-be absurd to think that this tremendous outlay came out of His Majesty’s own pocket; it was the people who paid for this whim of the Padishah. They were sim- ply ordered to pay an additional tax. “When he happens to need money, which is too often, His Majesty orders the governor of each province to. fur- nish him with a stipulated amount. If the governor answers that thefe is no palace replies, ‘you must get it.’ money available in the treasury, the The civil governor then, knowing the penalty of non-compliance, summone the military governor, who. proceeds .o collect it at the point of the bay- onet.”’ RUSSIAN TROOPS TO GUARD AMERICANS NEAR TABRIZ WASHINGTON, April 24.—Russia has responded promptly to the implied re- quest of the American Government that its military forces about to enter Per- sia for the vicinity of Tabriz safeguard the lives and interests of American citi- zens by giving assurance that she will take all possible measures for the pro- tection of foreigners. The proposed expedition is about to Start from the frontier. The welcome information came to the State Depart- ment this afternoon in a dispatch from Ambassador Riddle, at St. Petersburg and also was communicated to the of- ficials by the Russian Ambassador at Washington, Baron Rosen. With a well organized militta at. the city of Tabriz it ts felt here that for- eign interests may rest assured of rea- sonable freedom from violence pending the settlement of the troubles which now beset the Shah’s government.

him and we went down to the hotel to- gether. After a while he told me about the basket and I got into it. There was lots of room, but I had to keep awful quiet. That was the only hard part. It seemed an awful long time before I got out. But daddy had told me to be careful that no one would know I was on the train, so I just waited unti! when the’ bed on the train was made up I just crawled out of the basket and under thé covers. I have had a food time until they went and arrested dad- dy.’ The boy is remarkably bright and nice mannered. When leaving he asked .per- mission of the men in charge to go to the front door and say: good-by to the Post-Dispatch man. “Ask daddy when he will be able to get me out of here, and when this will all be over,” was concluding re- mark. Brandenburg says he took Shep from St. Louis with the mother’s knowledge and consent and that she (Brandenburg calls her his wife) is in New. York. Admits He’s Not Married. Under a fire of questions he made a remarkable statement concerning the boy’s mother, Mrs. James Shepard Cab- anne, hitherto known as Mrs. Branden- burg No. 2. “T must admit,” he said, “‘that we have no legal standing in the United States as man and wife, although moral- ly we are such. I was in British Hon- duras with Mrs. Cabanne during the fall 1906. While there we fixed up the matter of her sécuring a divorce from Cabanne.” “Were you married to Mrs. down there,’’ he was asked. “If you bring this out you are going to hurt my case,’”’ was his answer. To all question8 on the subject then he made evasive replies, leaving his hearers to infer that he was unwilling or unable to state where any ceremony joining him and Mrs. Cabanne had been performed. jrandenburg has retained Attorney Jacob Meyer to look after his interests. After a long consultation with him Mey- er said: “‘We have no fear of the out- come of this case. I have told the police that we will not try habeas corpus, but will fight the matter of extradition in the courts. So far as the boy {!s con- eerned, Brandenburg has the written consent of the boy’s mother to take him from his grandmother.” Meyer hinted that prominent iocal Re- publicans would interest themselves in Srandenburg’s case, on the theory that the proceedings against him were being instigated by the Democratic Nationa] Campaign Committee. Brandenburg’s Written Story. Brandenburg, who is a discreditea magazine writer, has written for a local paper the following story of his wanderings since his flight to avoid trial n the Cleveland letter forgery cnfiege including in it his version of t Cabanne boy: | kidnaping of the “A queer and dramatic sequence of events has fallen to my lot since my leparture from New York the last night of January—starvation and prosperity, comedy and tragedy, safety and danger, tne whole story terminating as it has this night in the moment when al] the future seemed bright and assured, in this city on the other side of the Ameri- can continent. “I left New York without prepara- tion and without knowing a friend and barely enough money to take me into the most isolated spot that I could choose, a place still in touch with New York, yet off the beaten track, the little town of Herrington, Dela. “Few parts of the East, though within a few hours by train, are more cut off from the outside world that the Dela- ware-Maryland Peninsula. There I stopped at a little hotel ag Dr. Car! Rheinder, an automobile agent, a Ger- man, to account for my lack of con- nections in America and a Aoctor to ac- count for the education and intelligence which I found the most difficult thing to conceal and the most likely thing to attract suspicion to me. Gets a Typewriter First, “I got a typwriter and set to work, my anonymous product finding a mar- ket in the publications I knew so well. “I re-experienced the difficulty of an unknown writer. Half the time, having made connections with an automobile firm, I worked at that, and just as | was ready to close the sale of $15,000 worth of machines, misfortune befell me. The best society of the town had been opened to me. I was asked to take a place as soloist In the leading choir, but I evaded all on the grounds of scruples.

Its business boomed | and the first Friday night I was 4ar- rested by the commissioners. “The town had no officers and the man who served the writ could not read it. “My knowledge of law and the re- spect I had earned from the manage- ment won a victory for the place. One night one of its enemies saw that 16 gallons of whisky were spirited into the town and with difficulty could I hold the crowd down till I could close at 22 o clock. “One famous local i.chter. hung inside after all were out. He was drunk. Be- fore I could get him out another local terror, backed by some drunken friends, came in to kill him and opened fight on him and one other near the doorway. Before he began shooting I imagined him some poor, old drunken about to be beaten to death started to his rescue. Tnkes Man With the Gun. “The front table was wrecked. The bully dropped to cover and I was left struggling with the man with the gun. I dragged him outside and down the street. “Everybody was in hiding. I could not get the gun and at last turned away, telling the gunner to shoot as I went if he wanted to. He did not. “The town boiled over and a feud was imminent. I sent to Seaford for officers. There were general arrests, and when the pen loomed before the principals, thinking of my own preca- rious position, I withdrew the charges and found myself with the entire com- munity at my back. “There were some critical personal matters that demanded my presence in New York, and about three weeks ago I stepped on the train and without any disguise went to New York. “Arriving at the house in which my wife was living in New York, in the early evening, I was startled to see two New York detectives, whom I knew very well, standing near tne doorway in earnest discussion. Il was com- pelled to pass just behind them, gained the doorstep, and, owing to the presence of other people in the hall of the house, I was compelled to stand there for some minutes, smoking and endeavoring to appear an ordinary resident of the place. Eludes the Detectives. “When I had a chance, I used my latchkey and went in. My appearance in her room, unannounced, was like that of an apparition to my wife. ‘In three days’ time what was appar- ently great good fortune had come to us. I could not return to Delaware and must leave New York. Out of a clear sky came an opportunity to go to the coast, as the coast manager for the promotion of a large enterprise at a good salary and with the almost certain opportunity of making $560,000. “With the earliest portion of this I should have returned to New York, met any and all claims and charges, confi- dent of my vindication. My business re- quired me to make stops in all of the leading cities of the country in the belt between San Francisco and New York, and I did so. “In one of these towns I encountered another position which I meant to take up later. I would have had charge of the South American sales and advertis- ing work of an automobile concern for which I had dene good work in Dela- ware, and would have had $10,000 a year from that. “When in Buffalo I picked up an evening paper and a _ signed _ col- umn written by an old chum I saw the single line, following a reference to a number of noted ‘has-beens,’ ‘and where is Broughton Brandenburg?’ Learns He Is Believed Insane. “On a pretext I called the writer up and had a half hour’s talk with him, leading up to my own case, and I learned for the first time that all of my old professional friends firmly believe that I am insane, that being the only way in which they can account for the manner in which I have become in- volved. “When the evil days fell upon my lIit- tle family last fall we decided that my stepson would fare better with his fa- ther, my wife’s former husband, ifn St. Louls, and he was sent there. I found ways and means to see him and learn of him and the things I learned were heartbreaking. “With his mother’s authority I laid plans to see him and ask him if he wanted to go back te her, and he did. So I brought him on with me, taking the huge additional risk as a matter of duty. “He was dirty and ragged and I had to get clothes for him in 15 minutes. The police had been notitied of his dis- appearance and were watching every train. I had ordered @ large wicker clothes hamper and into this he bravely climbed, and, after two hours of agonizing suspense for beth of us. he had passed the gates, labeled ‘de}j- cate scientific instruments,” and was safe in my berth. “That was a week ago, 1nd since then he has been with me day «and night, ea- ger with the delight of being with two people who leve him very well, in a new home, in a beautiful land, far away from the troubles and privations the little soul has known. “Tonight he is asleep, with his hopes crushed, and I am—well, where I can't buy the burro he is 60 mad about.

In a statement to Prosecuting Attor- ney Shackelford yesterday Elmer Clark, ield as a suspect pending the investiga- lon of the assault on littl Hazel Kuntz sf 6603 Crest avenue, admitted that he served two terms ifn the penitentiary for similar crimes upon children.

HE St. Louis women prizes aggregating | $150. The contest aroused great gest est, and photographers have been del- uged with hand enthusiasts. Some exceedingly lovely hands have been shown in the pictures presented by the Post-Dispatch. It is obvious that photographs do not always tell the Whole truth about objects, and many hands which ,have pleased friends of their owners have appeared at a disad- vantage in the pictures. The judges will take this into consideration where the requisites of form indicate that the hands may be in the Ptize-taking class, and call for a personal inspection. The result will be announced as s00n as the judges are able to complete their work. Post-UVispatch beautiful 2 hand contest will close on Fri- day. No photographs of hands will be received after noon of that day. The board of judges has been appoint- ed and will on Saturday undertake the selection of the prize winners from the thousands of photographs received. The contest grew out of the charge of a New Jersey glove manufacturer that St. Louis women wear larger gloves than any other women in the country.. Glove salespeople in St. Louis stores denied this charge and added the assertion that St. Louis hands are the prettiest in the country. That this might be shown the Post-Dispatch called for the submission of / photo- graphs of beautiful hands, offering to TYLLES PAVRUETTE OC DEN. 2900 oO» THE

OUR $100 FOR THE PRETTIEST HAND T DOBDS not really matter whether the hands of S8t. Louls women are larger than the hands of any other woman in the country or not, for St. Louls women have the prettiest hands. That is what the glove salespeople tell us. In order that the world may see the beautiful hands of St. Louls women, the Post-Dispatch opened a contest. We want to collect photographs of the loveliest hands and offer One Hundred and Fifty Dol- lars in prizes for them. To the lady possessing the most beautiful hand Louis the Post-Dispatch will pay (IN GOLD) To the lady whose hand is the SECOND choice of the judges the Post-Dispatch will pay (IN GOLD)..... To the lady whose hand is the THIRD choice of the judges the Post-Dispatch will pay (IN GOLD) To the lady whose hand is the FOURTH choice of the judges the Post-Dispatch will pay (IN GOLD) Send the best photograph of your hand that you can obtain to the HAND CONTEST EDITOR, POST-DISPATCH. Write your name and aa4- dress on the back of the photograph. The photographs will be submitted to a board of judges, which will {n- clude artists who are competent to pass upon the merits of the hands. The names of the judges will not be made public until the awards are made. The judges may require to see some of the hands when they have eliminat- ed the less beautiful by examination of the photographs. If so, notices wil] be sent for a meeting at a suitable timo and place.

ST. LOUIS

HADLEY - JONES RAILROAD SUIT

Federal Court Also Rules State Injunction in Rate Fight Would Be in Contempt.

CONFERENCE OF LINES

Governor Declares He Will Uphold Rights of Common- wealth if Test Is Necessary.

Judge John F. Philips of the United States Court City sued an injunction against Gov. Hadley in Kansas has is- and Circuit Attorney Jones of St. Louis, restraining them from prosecuting the injunction suit filed in Judge Williams’ court here to prevent the railroads from carrying out their alleged agree- ment to restore the 3-cent passenger schedule in Missouri. Judge Philips issued the order yesterday afternoon cation of Frank Hagerman, represent- ing the Missouri railroads, and in his decree ruled further that any State of- ficial or State court that issued an in- juction against the railroads involved in the present rate controversy would be held in contempt of the Federal Court. “Until I know just what order Judge Phillips has issued, I cannot discuss the matter,’’ Circuit Attorney Jones said yesterday. “I was informed by the rail- road attorneys when they were in St. Louls Friday that they intended to ap- ply to Judge Phillips for the restraining order. “I do not know exactly what has been done in Kansas City, but I do not think the Federal Court would go to the ex- tent of enjoining State officers from prosecuting the railroads for entering an illezal agreement.’’ Against Discrimination, Gov. Hadley was seen by a Post-Dis- pitch reporter in Jefferson City when he had.been informed of Judge Phillips’ order. He said: “Of course I cannot speak in a satis- tnctovy manner concerning the order of Judge Philips until I see it. How- ever, nothing will be done by the State im the suit in St. Louis in violation of ary order that the Federal Court has a right ta make. “The State authorities are enjoined in the sut now pending in the Federal Court from enforcing the 2-cent pas- scenzer rate law, and that order will be respected. The St. Louls suit simply Seeks to prevent tne railroads from vio- lating other laws of Missouri, prevent- ing agreements in restraint of competi- tion and the fixing of unreasonablé and discriminating rates. “If the State can be enjoined from en- forcing these laws simply because the State has passed a passenger rate law which, the Federal Court considers too restraining upon appli- _low, then the right of the State to regu- doing Jjate public service corporations business in the State amounts to noth- ing. Injunction Is Modified, “The rallroads have been advised that if they abandon the combination which Louis suit, and put into effect a 2%-cent rate, the St. Louis case will be discontinued. As a Number of the railroads have advised me that they intend to take this action, it may be that there will be no neces- sity for a controversy in reference to this matter. “But if there is, I will be just as vigorous in insisting upon the authority of the State officers and the State courts as I will be to respect the proper authority of the Federal Court.” Circuit Judge Williams, on application of Circuit Attorney Jones, yesterday granted a modification of the injunction issued April 8 against the 18 railroads in Missouri to restrain them from mak- ing a 3-cent passenger rate. Under the injunction as modified the raiiroads will be allowed to charge any rate under 3 cents, provided it is not discriminatory. Ten days’ public notice of a change of rate must be made, and the order does \ ‘ not apply to commutation and excursion

The Circuit Attorney took this action because several of the roads had com- | plained that under the terms of the in- junction they were not permitted to put ‘en the 2%-cent rate. A conference om the matter took place Friday night in Jefferson City and both sides agreed to postpone further action until tomor- row, when there was to have been a hearing on the injunction. The Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, Frisco, Cotton Belt, Rock Island and Mesouril, Kansas & Texas filed a mo- tion I’riday asking thet the temporary eraer be vacated. The other roads, which have*announced a 2%-cent rate, tcok no action. “Monday morning I expect to dismiss the cise against the roads which have Circuit At- “The suit has ac- femplished its purpose so far as those reads are concerned.” The meeting of railroad executives at was culled for Chicago yesterday t. discuss the Missouri situation was ae , P»stponed indefinitely.

WIVES OF PORK PACKER AND RICH BROKER TO SWAP MATES Des Moines Women Sue for Di- vorce and One Husband Admits Double Love Affair. DES MOINES, Io., April 24.—Wives of Louis R. Hough, proprietor of a pack- ing plant, who failed for $100,000 recent- ly, and F. R. Hancock, a wealthy broker, who has made a fortune in wheat within the past few weeks, have petitioned for divorce in the District Court, in order that they might swap husbands. Both petitions allege cruel and inhu- man treatment, and both were with- drawn as soon as filed, so that their contents might not be learned by the newspapers. Later Hancock admitted that he and: Hough had fallen in love with each other’s wives and their friends predict a double wedding fol- lowing the procuring of divorce decrees by the two women, who have been com- rades for years. Hough was sued for divorce once be- fore and when his former wife had pro- cured a decree he married the woman who is now plaintiff.

nd STATE WILL USE PHOTOGRAPHS AS EVIDENCE IN KRETCHMAR’S TRIAL FOR KILLING OF JONES Will Try to Prove by Pictures of Office That Shooting Was Not in Self-Defense. Photographs taken immediately after the killing of Clarence N. Jones will be relied upon by the State as the strongest evidence against Herman A. Kreisch- mar, whose trial on tho charge of mur- dering Jones will began at 10 a. m. to- morrow in Judge Shields’ division of the Circuit Court. Jones was shot by Kretschmar in the office of the Commonwealth Feed Mills, at De Soto avenue and North Second street, Feb. 12. No one witnessed the shooting. The Circuit Attorney caused photographs of the office scene to be taken. According to Assistant Circuit Attor- ney Newton, who announces that the State is ready to proceed with the trial, these pictures will be used to prove that Kretschmar did not shoot in self-de- fense. They show Jones’ revolving thair turned over and leaning against his desk, his eyeglasses fallen upon the desk, and a part of the chair broken where it came in contact with the desk. The State will hold that these photo- graphs show Jones to have been shot as he sat at his desk. Charles P. Johnson and C. Orrick 3ishop, Kretschmar’s counsel, have not announced their line of defense. Appraisers engaged in making an !n- ventory of the estate of Mr. Jones, which is said to amount to $1.0,000, have found unpaid notes made by Kretsch- mar to Jones aggregating $2500. Some of them date from 1905.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—The Re- publican members of the Senate Com- mittee on F’nance today began what they hope will be the final stage of their work in recasting the Payne tariff bill. This work is the consid- eration of the few echedules which did not receive attention before the bill was reperted and of the admin- istrative features of the bill. They assetnbled shortly before 12 o'clock with the intention of sitting during the remainder of the day and tomorrow if necessary so that the Democratic members might be called in Monday morning and the amend- ments reported to the Senate when it convened Monday a: noon. The intention was to give first tention. to the passed-over schedules and some of those, such as coal, nides and wood pulp, are giving the senat- ors no small degree of concern. It is possibic they may consume so much time that the administrative portion of the bill will be compelled to under- go still further postpcnement,

DIAMOND NN WARD BABI’S SHFETY PIN Ambassador Reid’s Grandson Cries During Christening in Royal Chapel.

MANY NOTABLES THERE

King Could Not Be Present, but He Wrote a Note and Promised Present.

Special Cable From London Buareau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, April 24.—The christening of the baby that came to bless John Ward, equerry to King Edward, and Mrs. Ward, who was Miss Jean Reld, daugh- ter of Whitelaw Reid, was a private affair in the chapel royal of St. James Palace. The King, as sponsor, was represented by Maj. George Halford, equerry in waiting to His Majesty and owner of Dorchester House, which the American Ambassador now occupies as his residence. The christening took place Thursday, a day earlier than had beev planned, for the lucky infant’s fa- ther and mother wish to go abroad al- most immediately. Among the very few present were Sir Edward Gray, Foréign Minister, who was joint sponsor with the King; Lady Mary Ward, who stood as sponsor for Kate Bryce, and the baby’s aunt, the Countess of Granard. Except the happy grandfather, no one from the American Embassy attended the christening. . The baby was named Edward John Sutton. The Edward is for his royal godfather; the Sutton, as far as the Ward family is concerned, dates back to 1628, when Humble Ward, the firet Lord Ward, named Frances, only child and yheir of Sir Ferandino Sutton, John Sut- ton, first Lord Dudley, was made a Baron in 1432. The nurse in whose arms the baby Tested acted in the same capacity to, Viscount Hdnam, the Earl of Dudley's eldest son and heir, and to the Prince of Asturias; whose mother, the Queen of Spain, is Mrs. Ward's intimate friend. Baby Cried, of Course. At the christening the baby was ‘‘in his best,’’ which is saying much. He was a ball of costly lace and lawn. "He slept calmly until his grandmother, Mrs. Reid, lifted him, when he yelled. The subdean, who performed the cere- moriy, rocked him to quiet with the skilt of a practiced nurse and implanted on his brow the kiss he reserves for royalty and the children of influential aristo- crats. Of course those at the chapel declared the youngster to be the loveliest baby ever born, all the company, except Sir Edward Gray, who maintained a diplo- matic reserve and who is not given to superlatives, vowed the little one’s blue eyes were the most exquisite that ever opened. The King’s present to his godson had not arrived, but His Majesty wrote ex- pressing regret for his absence ‘‘on so momentous and important an occasion”’ and adding that a gift would follow close upon the letter. At the ceremony Mrs. Whitelaw Reid wore a costume of deep mauve cloth with gold embroideries, a necklace, of pearls and emeralds and a diamond brooch. : Mrs. Ward wore a cloth gown, ‘Weep rose-red in color and a stole of black fox furs. She had on a rope of fine pearls which her parents gave her only this week; in her belt was a huge knot of white jessamine and its green foll- age. Many Dresses and Jewels.

Cable From London Bureau Of the Post-Dispatch, LONDON, April 24.~—Mrs. Carrie Chap- man Catt of New York, president of the International Suffrage Alliance, will call to order the first quintennial conven- tion of that organization here on April 26. Two hundred delegates representing the national suffrage organization of 18 countries will be present and the con- vention will continue in session until May 3. America is sending a delegation of dis- tinguished women, including Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, who will stop at Sunder- land House with her daughter, the Duchess of Marlborough; Mrs. William M. Ivins and Mrs. William H. Parsons of New York, Mrs. Coonley Ward, the wealthy Chicago philanthropist, and the Rev. Anna H. Snow, president of the American National Association of the international body. Seems Near Realization. In an interview today with the corre- spondent of the Post-Dispatch,. Mrs. Catt, who has recently returned from a tour of inspection on the continent, declared her belief that universal wom- an’s guffrage is much nearer a fact than most people recognize. “It would be almost impossible to overestimate the great and whole-heart- ed impetus that has been given within the Jast vear to the movement for woni- an’s suffrage in the various countries of Europe,’ she said. “Everywhere I traveled on my recent tour I found the opposition not only worn away, but in many instances actually converted into enthuslasts of our cause. “Since our international organfzation was perfected at our meeting in Berlin live years ago, the number of our na- tional organizations has increased from eight to 18. Two of the most recently formed national organizations are those of France and Belgium. “The work to be done at the present convention covers a wide range of sub- jects, and there is plenty of it. First of all we intend to revise our constitu- tion, which was framed with a view of taking care of unforeseen conditions without being very specific in its char- acter. There will be an election of offi- cers, but no candidates have yet taken the field. Special Great Need of Rules, “Then we shall tackle a problem that no other international oyganization has yet attempted, and that is to come to an understanding on a definite set of parliamentary rules governing the pro- cedure of our conventions. *‘Heretofore the great difficulty of in- ternational conferences has been found in the wide divergence of opinion among the delegates as to the proper form of procedure according to the rules com- mon to their own country. The need of a common understanding on this sub- ject has determined us te attempt to standardize a set of parliamentary rules for international meetings. “Before we break up we shall also receive designs for an international suf- frage hymn. The words may be either in English, German or French.” A crowded social program, including many receptions, teas and dinners, has been arranged for the delegates during their stay.

Special Cable From Paris Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, PARIS, April 2.—Hotel proprietors’ complaints that fewer Americans than usual are in Paris this season are si- lenced by this week’s invasion of the French capital.

ALIANS WILD. AS WRIGHT FL Emotional Rome Aeronauts Cannot Understand American’s Self- Control.

Specia] Cable From the London Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. ROME, April 24—The emotional Ital- ian aeronauts whom Wilbur Wright is amazing with his aeroplane, call him “wooden’—which is scarcely appro- priate because ordinarily wood will not float in air. But they, yielding tq@ every sensation, exhibiting every sur- prise, cannot understand the American aviator’s stupendous self-centrol; his ironclad stoicism. Descending from the aeroplane after a flight, Lieut. Savoia, a daring balloon- ist, actually shed tears of joy and tried to embrace Wright, saying, in a fever of excitement: “Never in my Ife did I experience such joys; never did any man. Ah, to command the air-my teacher—my comrade!”’ Wright raised his eyebrows a trifle and, retreating, found it necessary to “repair” the aeroplane’s motor, which, in truth, was working perfectly. The Duke of Galleze, president of the Itallan Aero Club, and a man of the highest courage, was offered a place in the aeroplane. Evidently the noble Duke regreted extremely that he was not attired de rigguer to fly. “I did not bring my motor goggles,” he explained to Wright, sadly. ‘My eye glasses might drop off. Tomorrow [ will wear spectacles.” During one of Wright's flights a party on the summit of a knoll were watching the American’s evolutions. As the aero- plane swooped down toward them they ran like a flock of sheep. Nearing the Knoll, the airship, obedient to Wright, arose and passed high over their heads, leaving them dumfounded. Wright cares little for their applause as for their criticism. As to his opinion of them he remains as silent as the Sphynx, VATICAN WILL REBUILD THE CHURCHES LEVELED BY QUAKE ROMB, April 12.—The Pope has notil- fied the people of Calabria that money has been appropriated from the Vatican treasury for the purpose ef building 200 churches, one and severa) schools in the regions where the recent earthquake worked such terrible havoc.

Spectal Correspondence From London Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, April 15.—When it was an- nounced that Mr. Poklewski-Koziell, Councillor of the Russian Embassy here, was to be shifted as First Secre- tary to the Russian Ministry at Tehe- ran, everybedy asked what en earth wi]! King Edward do without him? Mr. Koziell has been indispensable these last five years at the King’s pri- vate parties. All the women the King likes also like Mr. Koziell. He is a multi-millionaire, makes magnificent presents ,and generally regards his money merely as a means of increasing the enjoyment ef those honored, with his friendship. He is also a most en- thusiastic bridge player, often has the King for a partner and does the pay- ing. Whenever the King has wanted some particularly expensive treat, Mr. Koziell, Sir Ernest Cassel and ene er two more were eager to previde it for him. There. fore, Mr. Koziell’s removal was not to be thought ef. So King Edward informed Ceunt Benckendorff, the Russian Ambassador, and Count Benckendorff infermed the Russian Foreign Ministry. It has now been arranged that, contrary to the cus- tom of the Russian diplomatic service, Mr. Koziell is to be prometed te the Embassy here. So for a few years more he will be at hand when King Edward needs him.

GIAL STEALS AN AUTHOR'S FAME Mrs. Tinayre Hears That Italian Girl Was Telling Friends She Wrote Popular Novels. Special Correspondence From Paris Rureau of the Post-Dispatch, PARIS, April 4—Mme. Marcelle Tin- ayre, one of the most popular writers in France, is jurt now learning that h-r hard won glory was begrudged her by a young woman who lives in Spezia. Recently a friena who had come from the Italian city called on Mme. Tin- ayre to relate some rather remarkable occurrences. It appears that the- wom- an who lives in Spezia has been giving to her friends copies of Mme. Tinayre’s books autographed by the giver as the real author of the works. Mme. P. De- Coulvin, the friend of Mme. Tinayre, who makes the disclosures, saw some of these presentation copies and in be- half of her friend made a quiet investi- gation. It was learned that the young woman in Spezia told the gtory that Mme. Tinayre had been her governess and had put her name to books really writ- ten by her pupil whe did not wish the Prominence that authorship brings. Con- fidentially she did not object to her Close friends knowing that she could Write and was the author of the books 80 widely read, and as a tribute of her esteem she would give them coples ap- Propriately inscribed. Mme. De Coul- vain discovered that in Spezia the story has been so widely repeated that the young weman is generally believed to ~ the real author of the books. Mme. Tinayre laughed when she heard ths story. When her husband's remun- erative work failed she took up writing te support her family and for a time had a hard struggi¢. But she wasnev | the instructreas of the yeung woman - S:ezia, and indeed, never heard of until her name was brought to her tention.

IN DOWNTOWN DISTRICT SOLD - Frisco Building Annex Changes Hands in Deal Involving $410,000.

SKYSCRAPER PLANNED

Bell Telephone Co. Buys Val- uable Site at Tenth and Pine Streets.

TRADE IN NORTH END. Large Tract Transferred and Will Be Turned Into Subdivision.

Despite the prohibition issue which has absorbed the attention of realty dealers and practically halted operations in cor- ner holdings throughout the city, the week was marked by a substantial vol- ume of transactions. The most noteworthy involved the gale of the fee to the Frisco Building Annex at Olive and Ninth streets, for $410,000; the fee to the northwest corner ef Tenth and Pine streets, for $210,000, ‘and the Printers’ Building at Ninth and Walnut streets, for $160,000. The Liggett estate acquired the Frisco Building Annex; paying therefor a profit of $40,000 to the Excelsior Realty Co., of which Otto L. Mersman is presi- dent. The Bell Telephone Co. of Missouri which purchased the Tenth and Pine streets corner from Nancy L. Johnson, contemplates improving the sjte with a akyacraper to cost about $500,000, a part of which is to be occupied by the tele- phone exchange. This improvement will be of great benefit to Pine street, which has just begun to command the atten- tion of large investors and which is destined to take rank ultimately with Olive street. Conrad Kellerman, president of the Kellerman Construction Co., purchased the Printers’ Building from the Fitz- simmons Realty Co. Demand for Investment Lots. There was considerable demand during the week for investment properties in the central district, and the announce- ment of these large deals will have a Gecidedly wholesome effect on this fea- ture of the realty situation. Many of the property holders in this section are contemplating leaving the city. for the summer, and in order to expedite sales of properties which they have had on the market, have in many instances reduced their prices to a point that is challenging the attention of idle capital and that is awakening activity in the entire central district. The fact that the majority of corner properties outside the business section are subject to brewery leases with can- Cellation clauses in the event that pro- hibition carries, has reduced trading in these holdings materially. ; Big Sale in North End, An important North End sale was that by which David P. Leahy acquired a tract of 42% acres at the southwest cor- ner of Thrush and Florissant avenues, at $50,000. The grantor was Mrs. A. B. Von Versen of Berlin, a former resident of St. Louls, who was represented by Cornet & Zeibig. The land fronts 2400 feet on Thrush avenue and 1176 feet Florissant avenue and is superbly situated for a subdivi- sion, it being the third tract Mr. Leahy | has purchased in this section for this 4 i Ponts q 77 r. ‘2, “Sa4 ‘ee e sarang ‘ ; r . 7 ip prom and s ~ Impor mand rapid! - unable to. - Whese t a edly mea tO meas the v * ago, res” Ry

Flats and dwellings, ranging in price from $5500 to $15,000, were in fair de- mand, but rain the first half of the week, which precluded inspecting prop- erty, retarded sales in the residential districts.

Subdivision Season Opening. Within two weeks the subdivision sea- Son will be at its height. The finishing touches are being given to several new g tracts. These will be immediate]y ed to investors and sold on the r installment plan. Among the xtensive tracts are those of David ahy, including the Von Versen at Florissant and Euclid ave- u@den tation from. y the Lakewood, located on the Gravois at the terminus of the Gravois ric line, sales are flourishing. With- the last year many -hhomes have been erected, which have materially enhanced the value of the land in this addition, which is conceded to be one of the most attractive and picturesque home places adjacent to the city. The Industrial Development Co., which owns the prop- erty, operates its own railroad, connect- ing with the Gravois electric line through the tract, making it accessible at all points to and from the city for a S-cent fare. This land is being sold in lots to sult and on terms and at prices which prospective homeseekers will do well to investigate. Bales of lots for improvement with Gwellings and flats were numerous. The purchasers are principally persons who are building for permanent investments or for homes, professional builders be- ing camparatively scarce this season. Mealty Loan of $60,000, An important loan was negotiated by the Mercantile Trust Co. last week.

LANS have been completed by Ar- chitect Harry F. Roach for a modern eight-story ‘fireproof building to be erected at the northeast corner of Eighteenth street and Wash- ington avenue for the occupancy of the Wertheimer-Schwartz Shoe Co. It will have a frontage of 7 feet on Washing- ton avenue by a depth extending through to St. Charles street and will cost approximately $200,000. The structure will embody all the modern appliances and conveniences of a building of this character and will be occupied by the shoe company for the display of its wares and for its central offices. The building is being erected by the Holbrook - Blackwelder Real Estate Trust Co., which effected a deal by which the shoe company will occupy the premises under a long lease.

is valued at many times the amount of the loan. The loan, which bears 5 per cent in- terest, was divided into notes of $500 each, a portion of which matures every year for seven years, and the balance at the end of the eighth year. This ar- rangement makes the security stronger each year. Notwithstanding the fact that the notes bear date May 1 and cannot be de- livered to investors until that date, it was stated at the offige of the trust company yesterday that a majority of the notes have already been subscribed for, and that they are receiving in- quiries every day for the remainder. Serial loans have been made a feature of the real estate business of the Mer- cantile Trust Co. and they have made a distinctive success in that line. The popularity of the plan ts attested by the fact that of the number of loans made in this form in the last year, very few of the notes are for sale. Handsome New Catalog. The Mercantile Trust Co. yesterday received its new spring catalogue from the printer, and it Ig said to be the handsomest price list ever issued by a local real estate concern. Bound in green vellum, with {imitation leather finish, and with the words ‘‘Mercantile Trust Cempany” in raised gold letters on the cover, it is very attractive in apperance and has been pronounced a work ef art by all who have seen it. Several pages are devoted to statistics and information relating to St. Louis real estate and many facts of an inter- esting nature to realty owners and pros- pective buyers are set forth. It contains a large list of offerings, varying from the small lot in the out- lying sections to substantial properties in the business district. The catalogue is for distribution to all interested in real estate, - REAL ESTATE AGENTS’ REPORTS OF THEIR SALES MUTH REALTY CoO. The business heretofore conducted by John B.

WASHINGTON BY. -| CORNEA LEASES AT RECORD PRIC Building at Tenth Street Goes at $7000 a Foot Valuation.

BIG STORE PROBABLE

Proximity to Scruggs, Vander- voort & Barney Leads to Report. Negotiations were concluded yesterday by which the Luray Realty Co. acquired from H. B. Louderman a 9%~year lease of the property at the southeast corner of Tenth street and Washington avenue at an annual net rental of $21,500. This is at the rate of 4 per cent on a valua- tion of 7,500. The property has a frontage of 75 feet on Washington avenue by a depth ex- tending through to St. Charles street. The transaction is on a basis of a trifle more than $7000 a foot for the Washington avenue front and eclipses all previous price records at this point on Washington avenue. Big Department Store Probable. The negotiations were conducted by Larry L. Monroe, an officer of the Luray Realty Co. Mr. Monroe is also secre- tary and managing director of the Tutt estate, which owns 100 feet on Washing- ten avenue adjoining the property ac- quired by the Luray Realty Co. It its understood that the two corporations are friendly and that they will probably unite in constructing a large building on their respective properties. The combined properties have a front- age of about 175 feet on Washington avenue, 175 feet on St. Charles and 150 on Tenth street and make one of the most desirable sites on the thorough- fare for a large building. The property is only about two hun- dred feet north of Scruggs, Vander- voort & MBarney’s large department Store, and.it is believed the Luray oper- ation will culminate in the locating of a big department store on the Washing- ton avenue corner. The Mound City Chair Co. and the St. Louis Furniture Distributing Co., in turn, leased, through Mason & Trepp, the five-story building of the Tutt es- tate at 910-12 Washington avenue. Furniture Dealers Take Lease. The new combination, which !{s to be known as the “St. Louis Furniture Manufacturers’ Exchange,’’ and which is to occupy the Washington avenue building, is composed of the following firms: Mound City Chair Co., St. Louls Furniture Distributing Co., Ellerbrake Furniture Co., American Bed Co., Holt- grewe-Vornbrock Furniture Co., Leroy Furniture Co. and the William Prufrock Furniture Co. The structure, which is five stories high, has a frontage of 50 feet on Wash- ington avenue by a depth of 15 feet, ex- tending through to St. Charles street. This building was chosen by the furni- ture people because of its situation between the retail and wholesale dis- tricts and is especially adapted for the furniture business.

James Austin Larson Fined $250 and Appeals—Board of Health His Accuser.

The Instructions given by Judge W'1l- Niams to the jury trying James Austin arson, who advertises to heal various diseases by the ‘‘Teleconi system,’’ were most rigid, and Larson was found guilty of practicing medicine without a license. He was fined $250 and costs and imme- diately filed a $500 appeal bond, with Richard T. Bradley as surety. ‘one of the instructions given by Judge Williams is regarded by lawyers as a knockout blow for all persons who en- deavor to heal diseases without holding a regular practitioner's license. The instruction reads: “The Court instructs the jury that holding one’s self out and representing and professing to be able to heal dis- eases, no matter by what process, is practicing medicine within the meaning ef the law.”’ Board of Health Prosecutes. Lirson occupies a suite in the Plant- ers Hotel and advertises extensive- ly. He was arrested on a_i war- rant, procured by the Board of Health, charging hir with “holding Out as a physician without a license.” Special Officer Moynihan, detailed to the Board of Health. and Alexander Reifeiss obtained the evidence against Jarson. Moynilian testified that he went to Larson and complained of mervous break-down, that he made a dcpesit of $10 and that Larson made @ regular examination. Judge Wilson Taylor of the Court of Criminal Correction disqualified himself on the ground of personal prejudice against all practitioners who are not regular physicians, and appointed Circuit Judge Willlams to hear the case. Larson’s defense was that he healed without the use of medicine.

Constipation poisons the body by ren. dering the blood impure. The blood becomes simply loaded with all man- ner of foreign material or impurities, which are absorbed from the large in- testine, and carried to all parts of the system, causing headache, sallow or “muddy” complexion, and a feeling of general lassitude. When a continuous constipation is present, the impurities from the colon or large intestine collect in such im- mense quantities that the blood cannot be cleansed of them, although the Jungs, kidneys, and other purifying or- na are compelled to work overtime n their efforts to eliminate them. They must be eliminated from the system in some way or other, however, for if the accumulation in the blood continues, they will poison the system to such an extent as will actually cause death, through what is known as auto-intoxication, or self-poisoning. The blood finding itself unable to eliminate the swifty-accumulating poi- sons through the purifying organs, has nothing left to do but send them out ‘through the pores in the form of boils, _carbuncles, pimples, blackheads, and other skin eruptions. Stuart’s Calcium Wafers, the princi- pal ingredient of which, is that most pewerful of all blood purifiers, calcium sulphide, acta not only on the blood, eliminating all impurities therefrom, but also on the kidneys, liver and in- testines, toning them up, so that they are strengthened and become able to resume their functions as elminators and to prevent the self-poisoning of the system. | The contraction is also cured, which — the absorption ,of impure or oreign matter into the blood, and as a natural sequence, the pimples, boils, ‘earbuncles, blackheads, and other skin- eruptions disappear at once. Don’t make the mistake of attempt- ing to cure skin diseases by the loral application of salves, lotions, emolli- ents, ete. You simply drive the disease one point to another, while the Peal cause, the impurities in the blood, ‘Temains as bad as ever.

Near-Beer and Negro ‘Walkin’ Saloons” Thrive—Package Measure Favored.

~ AUGUSTA, Ga., April 24.—‘‘Conditions in Georgia remind me of the story of the man who got his friends to assist him financially in p:rfecting a perpetual motion machine,” said an observer. ‘‘He made great promises and hopes ran high. Finally, the inventor called the invést- ors in‘ and displayed his contrivance. ‘there is the per- No one but a ** ‘Friends,’ said he, p>tual motion machine. knave or a focl will deny that a per- petual motion machine is what we need to remove the cares and worries of life. However, you cannot expect absolute perfection on this earth and in all franknes I am going to tell you that there is but one little flaw in my ma- chine. I shall leave it to you to remove that flaw. The only thing this machine needs is something to keep the wheels in motion.’ “Now, as I sea it, the only thing that prevents prohibition from prohibiting in Georgia is the sale and use of liquor in Georgia. “Many prohibitionists admit that pro- hibition is not preventing the use of an enormous amount of liquor. ‘But give it a chance,’ they cay; ‘it will come out all right.’ Running Down Hill, “This ‘chance’ talk, in view of the actual conditions,’ he said, ‘‘puts me in mind of the farmer who yoked himself up with a calf. The calf went bucking and bawling down a steep hillside and the man said earnestly to the calf: af something don’t stop up, we'll break our dang necks.’ ”’ The observer based his comment upon these official figures, showing the num- ber of arrests for drunkenness: 1906. 1907. 1908. 1909. January February ....... 214 269 In 19098 when prohibition was new there was a falling off in the number of drunks,, but in 1909 the conditions are al- most exactly the same as they were in 1977. Effect on Negro Labor, Before prohibition went into effect there were about 100 licensed saloons in Augusta. There are now 61 nedarbeer places. But the near-beer places are not held responsible for all of the dunken- ness in Augusta. A negro hack driver was asked: “How does prohibition effect the ne- groes?’’ The negro grinned and said: ‘Boss, de white folks is done made walkin’ saloons out of de niggers—but some of us drives.’’ Business men frequently declare that it is much harder to get dependable nezro labor than it was before the pro- hibition law went into effect. ‘“‘How can I expect a negro to work for me for $7 or $8 a week when he can make $7 or $8 a day selling booze?’ asked one. The negro beotleggrer caters to the transient trade. Real beer is sold open- lv, but in Georgia the stranger must rely mainly on the negro for whisky. Residents can get anything they want iy they are regarded as “‘safe,’’ but the transient is looked upon with distrust, and he must have the password, or at at least know the ‘high sign.” Whisky For a Nickel. The “boys’ buy from the bootlegger a rule, from the near-beer establish- ments. The drunkards patronize’ the tcot'egger because he can sell them su-called whisky by the drink for a ricke}, “T find there is now a strong senti- ment in Georgia in favor of discarding prohibition and adopting a system of i¢Zulation that will curtail the abuses that prevail,’’ continued the observer. lt is generally believed that the Leg-

and will finally determine the

world’s champion at the classic dis- tance of 26 miles 385 yards.

The purse will be divided as fol- lows: $5000 to the winner; $2000 to the second man, $1200 to the third, $800 to the fourth, $500 to the fifth, $300 to the sixth, and §200 to the seventh man. Some of the leading runners in- vited to compete are St. Yves, Longboat, Dorando, Shrubb, Hayes, Maloney, Svanberg, White, Simp- gon and Carvajal.

NEW YORK, April 24.—Aifred Shrubb of England, considered the greatest mid- Gle-distance runner in thé world, but who recently was defeated in the $10,000 Marathon Derby by Henry St. Yves of France, turned the tables on his oppo- nent at American League Park here, tonight, winning from St. Yves over @ 15-mile course. The race was run on @ track arranged around the basebal! park and lighted by electricity. Shrubbs time for 15 miles was 1:26:12. St. Yves’ time was 1:27:58. The Englishman was almost two laps in front of St.’ Yves at the finish. He ran the 15 miles in one hour, 26 min- utes and 12 seconds. St. Yves stuck pluckily to his stask. Shrubb was the superior at the short- . er distance and the result was hardly in doubt from the time Shrubb gained his first lap in the fourth mile. It was a decisive victory for Shrubb. He was fresh and strong at the finish, but St. Yves also finished strong. At no time was the result of the race in doubt. When eight miles had been covered Shrubb had a lead of two laps and this seemed to content him, for he ran the remainder of the race at St. Yves’ side. During the last twa miles of the race St. Yves made fr ic ef- forts to overtake his rival, but to no avail. Shrubb’s time for the race was over four minutes behind the amateur rec- ord and nearly six minutes behind the professional mark. This slow time was due to the fact that the Frenchman could not make him do his best during the last half of the race. The night was cold and windy and this probably affected the runners, as Well as the attendance. LEXINGTON RESULTS. LEXINGTON, April 24.—FIRST RACE.

When I goes in with the boys to registc., the old lady caught sight of us and she yelled to her husband, who didn’t do anything but sit in a chair all day and smoke: “Put them dirty ball players out of here.” “Go on,” says the old man to her,.“I’m runnin’ this place.” “Well. me and the old man got retty well acquainted and I got im to square me with the old lady.

Right in front of the kitchen door they had one of their sideboards to shut off the view. “Then I ‘histed’ the 12 orders on a waiter up in the air like this, in- stead of taking hold of it with both mits. Just as I swung into the dining room the only waiter girl left. who was standing in the dark behind the sideboard, gave me a poke in the ribs and said: ‘Look out, kid, you'll spill the grub.’ “Well, you can see me with that layout up there in the air.

There was heavy hitting by both teams und the victory was always in doubt until young ‘‘Teddy”’ gmote the bal) in the fifth inning. The Browns were lead- ing by one run at the time &nd Rube had displayed great skill In the box. after a rather weird opening in the first inning. In the fifth a couple of scratch hits and a badly played bunt filled the bases, and then Mr. Easterly made his repu- tation with the Cleveland fans. He landed squuerely on one of Rube’s fast balls and it went in a line to right center. It was a triple, and the three men on the bases scored. This put Rube in a terrible state of mind, and when he passed the next batter, Man- ager McAleer waved him to the bench and called in Bailey. Before Bailey could pull the team out of the huile an- other run was over the plate and Cleve- laid had the victory. Mr. Easterly, however, wished to impress the Cleve- land fans still more, so in the seventh inning he hit the ball to the same spot again, this time for a double, and then on the next ball pitched he dashed for third and was safe when Hobe Fer- ris allowed the ball to be kicked out of his hands. A long fly brought ‘‘Teddy” home, and tonight he is the most-talked- of man in Cleveland, where until yes- terday he was an unknown. The Browns hit the ball as they have been doing ever since the season began? They scored three runs, and good piteh- ing would have made those three runs win. But Rube was in his most erratic state, one minute seeming to have ev- ed terrifically and only some very fortunate fielding on the part of the Browns dragged him through with but two runs being scored. Then the Browns tied up the score in the first half of the second, so Rube was allowed to go back in the box, though Batley was already warming up. McAleer ex- pected to see Rube go to pleces at once, but in a most surprising manner he be- fan shooting that famous fast ball with the hop on it, then bending over a curve and the heavy Cleveland hitters were fanning out. At the end of the fourth inning he had struck out seven of them, the Browns were leading by one run and everything was rosy on the 8t. Louis bench. Bailey had stopped warm- ing up and returned to the bench to help count the men that Rube would fan out during the game. But in the fifth inning the speed and cunning all dropped in an instant. A line bit to center, then a bunt along the first base line that was badly han- died and another scratch hit over Rube and he was up in the air. Basterly’s great swat was next and there was nothing left but to take Rube out He walked.the next batter to give Balley time to limber up and then he silunk out of view on the players’ bench, One remarkable incident of the game Wes that Tom Jones got but two put- outs at first base. Probably such 4 thing will not occur tn another game of baseball in many years. By rights he should have had but one, for Criger dropped © third strike and had to throw to Tom to complete the play.

Perring lined to left for a single and it might have been well to have removed Rube from the fray at that point. However, the next man bunted, and Rube fielded the ball nicely to third, forcing the first batter. Lajoie was next, and he bounced one past Rube.

FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA wee MIN ER BROWN TOO MUCH FOR ROGER’S BABES A Me a —_—_ a a Cubs Batter -Beebe, and Cardinals Blunder Often, to Mr. Chance’s Delight. -_ of his St. Louis Cardinals simply could not get going yesterday before some 10,000 persons at League Resim BRESNAHAN and: the other members ark, while the the title of world champions when they Poor fielding was what helped Fred Beebe lose the game, though the Cardi- na! pitcher was none _ too brilliant. Chance sent Mordecai Brown, the great- est, and so far this season, the Cubs’ mcst reliable flinger, to the rubber. The miner seemed to have everything that he needed, but the Cardinals hit his benders and hit them hard. The differ- ence was that the Cubs were playing baseball as it should be plaved. The outfielders were making’ sensational catches. The infielders were as steady as machines. Not even the semblance i a misplay did they make. Chicago's work outshone the play of Bresnahan’s men far more than the score would in- dicate. Of course flashes of redeeming work of the there were brillianey in the Cardinals such as Bresnahan working Prown for a pass to first in the fifth innine, when free transportation to the first sack meant a run for the Cardi- nals, as the bases were all occupied, In the previous inning he had also been passed to first on balls. Beebe started off unsteadily. Right Chicago Cubs dis played the form that has won for them scored five runs to 1 for the local club. off the reel Browne, the first man face Fred, was allowed to walk, a! though Bresnahan looked rather strenu- ously at Hank O’Day. Browne stole second, Bresnahan throwing a widé curve that landed out in center field. It leoked like a bad beginning, but the necessary three outs were made without any farther than the ot srowne getting middie gtation. There was quite a lively session dur- ing the Cubs’ second at Keebe’s twisters. To start it off, Charles made a bad mess of Tinker’s: gentle little bounder. This did not seem to do Reebe’s nerves any noticeable amount of although Bresnahan sent the tra- gedian to the bench when he tried to steal second. Then came some unlooked- for funny work. Hofman connected with the ball rather heavily but it refused to leave the diamond. Beebe got his hands on the leather in plenty time ty» eatch Hofman, but instead threw, well he threw so hard and so high that Konetchy did not consider it worth the essay zcod, of time to try to jump after it. Hofman’s Daring Base Work Adds Run to Cubs’ Total IIEN Konetchy and the other W members of the team, with one or two exceptions, had finally returnec the ball f:om somewhere near the pavilion, Hofman was on third base. There was 2 large crowd out yesterday, but rot Jarge enough to fill the special benches that had been put over on the right side of the field. Umpire O’Day took a charitable view of the proceed- ings and declared that ground rules culled for Hofman to go hack to sec- ond. Zimmerman struck out, but Moran eracked out a beautiful hit to left. Hof- man «ot to third and never even hesi- tated, hut hustied for the plate. Dele- hanty made a good throw right to Bres- nahan. I: was a close decision at the plate, but O'Day decided that Hofman was safe. But that was all in that inn- Ing. The fourth inning looked like the young hears from the Windy City, who have beer badly clawed up this season, were zoing to devour the League Park wonders, but the Rogerines pulled them- selves together nicely and managed to get olf with a whole skin. Here's what happened and it was a bit remarkable that the Cubs could not squeeze home even one run. Steinfeldt singled, Tinker’ sacrificed, Hoffman smashed a ripping, whistling high-bounding ball to Byrne and beat Out the throw to first. This certainly looked tornadolike to Beebe. Byrne gobbled up a high fly which Zimmer- man sent up. Then Moran managed to get one of his fingers tickled a bit by one of Deebe'’s curves. A clever imita- tion of how a man acts in excruciating pain made it possible for him to walk to first. Brown, however, could only Pop up a foul fly, which Bresnahan nailed, and the crowd wondered how it Rac al! happened without any runs be- ings scored. But it was only a sponge thrown in the way of the deluge about to break. And this is the tale of what the Cubs did in the fifth. Browne sin- gied. Sheckard and Chance failed to reach firist base. Then Steinfeldt dou- bied. Evans threw in to catch Browne. Rresnahan was nervous and when the ball bounded high he started fighting ft. with the result that the leather @scaped completely. Browne scored and BSteinfeldt went to third. Tinker dou- bled to center and Steinfeldt ambled home. Hiofman failed on three twisters that Beebe sent over, but two more runs had crossed the pan. In the Cardinals’ half of the in- Ming Charles and Osteen singled, Tink- er almost robbing the latter of a hit when he jumped five feet in the air and all but speared a hot drive, which he knocked _ down with his gloved hand. Jiless Leader, Charles and Osteen moved up a base when Moran failed to hold one of Brown’s shoots. Beebe expired on a high fly in front of the plate and Byrne did likewise. Shaw. walked, fill- ing the bases. There was plenty of fun about this time Bresnahan feinted, bluffed and fidgeted about at the plate and Brown wore a nerv- ous look as the Cardinals’ boss faced him with his bat choked off half way to the handle, just waiting for a chance to cut the leather through the infield. Brown passed Bresnahan, giving the Cardinals a run. Konetchy’s best went to Tinker and Bresnahan was out at second on the play. In the ninth two runs were picked up by the vwubs, just for a matter of good measure. Two out, Browne was passed to first. Sheckard doubled, and, just to show the crowd that he could hit the ball now and then, even if he hadn’t been able to do so up to that time during the afternoon, the ‘Peer- ’ Frank Chance, singled to right center... Two more runs were add- ed to the champions’ total. There was a lingering hope that per- haps the Cardinals might do some- thing in the ninth, which was partly fulfilled after Evans was out on a fly. Delehanty singled, but Charles could do no better than raise a high twister out to right field, which was gobbled up by Hofman, Then came Osteen with another single and Ellis was hastily rushed to the front to bat in place of Beebe. He meant well, but Chance per- sonally attended to Mr. Ellis at the first sack on a ground ball and the Cardinals were left with two men on base and four runs needed to tie. The score: ST. LOUIS.

Nine’s Bad Blunders Rodenberg Throws Away Chance to Win Base-|: ball Battle at Stadium When He Fans With Bases Full. Stup!d plays on the part of Washing- ton University’s infielders at critical times allowed Arkansas University’s baseball team to capture their game at the Stadium Saturday afternoon by a score of 4 to 38. The contest was tle from start to finish, only four hits being allowed by either pitcher. Two of the four hits off Frer- ichs were of the scratch order. Arkansas’ first run was made in the second. A base on balls to Miller, a dropped ball by Rodenburg which gave Miller a life at second, a stolen base and a wild pitch which Rodenberg might have stopped. In the next inning Arkansas was blanked, but came to life in the fourth. Stokes bunted perfectly. Coyle dropped a Texas leaguer over Hebenstraih and Ailworth went to sleep and forgot to cover second or Stokes would have been forced. a pitchers’ bat- And Still They Erred, Hardaway and Zachritz allowed Mil- ford’s high fly to drop between them and Stokes scored, but Coyle was nailed ai the plate. Rodenberge then threw to third to catch Milford, who was steaming around the bases at full speed; but the throw went wild and Milford tallied. Washington got two on good hitting in the sixth. With one out, Beck got a base on balls and stole second. Wal- ters doubled to left, scoring Beck. Ro- denberg was out to the pitcher, but Hardaway doubled, scoring Walters. The next man was an easy out. Frazier ¢*d the unexpected in the sev- enth and hit to right. Zachritz laid down a perfect sacrifice, putting Frazier on station No. 2. Frerichs was safe on an infield scoring Frazier, third. Beck was walked. Walters fouled out, and with the bases full and a tied score, Rodenberg fanned. Arkansas won out in the elghth on a single by Stokes, a stolen base and a dumb play of a bunt to first, allowing Stokes to score from second. Arkansas played intelligent baseball all the way and the infleld work was distinctly high class. The batting order: WASHINGTON U.

The league season opened last Sun- day, when the Hyde Parks defeated the Partridge club, at Kulage Park, In a fast game. The Hyde Park team played fine baseball and as the club has been strengthened by the addition of Conrad, who won the champlonship of the In- terscholastic League a couple of years ago with Vincent Campbell as his catch- er, and who later practically pitched the Belleville Maroons into a champion- | (ne ship. Patrick Casey has also signed | ne @ contract to play second base during the entire season for the club. Casey is really too fast for the Trolley League, but he was made a good offer and, as he wanted to remain in St. Louis, turned down a Western League offer. The game will be started at 3 o'clock. In the preliminary contest Jack Crow- ley’s National Electrics will play the Good Lucks. A big crowd turned out at the park last Sunday and an even larger one is expected today. Zimmermann’s Park will also open te- day as one of the old league stands. Zimmermann has secured a band of music and will also put on a prelimin- ary game between the Rock Islands and Rothgiessers, which will be started at 8:30 o’clock. The park is a popular one in North St. Louis and with the old Trolley League teams as an attrac- tion is expected to draw good crowds.

Millionaire Cup Donor Left Pullman to Help Shovel Auto Free.

RY L. W, REDDINGTON, Special Correspondcnt of the Dispatch. GREEN RIVER, Wyo., April 24—One hundred and seventy-four miles in a week. That ts the pitiable record of the Ocean-toO-ocean pathfinder’s progress for the past seven days. It has been a strenuous week for the crew of the bis Thomas, for hardly a day has gone -}) without the accomplishment of some en- gineering feat not generally included in the daily program of automobile tour- ing. Bridges have been bullt, filled in, corduroy roads made railroad ties and the car extricated from seme seemingly impossible predicaments ov an average of ten times a day. In fact, Western Wyoming has given the travelers more trouble and worry than all the other states over which the car has traveled, put together. I have George Miller’s word for it that some of the sink holes through which the car has floundered during the last few days made even the Siberian begs crossed in the New York-Paris race look Hke macadam boulevards. Dismal Week’s Record. Here is the daily record of the past week: Saturday—Lost in the mountains for five hours; ran out of water and had to siuff the radiator with snow.

The sinkhole in which the car struck Tuesday afternoon held ic fast for 39 hours and it was not until the Japs and Italians of the section gang had dug and pried and heaved for eight hours that the clay finally released its captive. But for tHe assistance of the Union Pacific the pathfinder would still be anchored three miles east of Bitter Creek, an object of interest and amuse- ment to those who spied it from the win- dows of the fast trains. the crew to es. wash- raising cnr rear wheel thre To one man who caught sight of the car from a Pullman window there was nothing funny in the situation. He was M. Robert Guggenheim, donor of the transcontinental trophy, who was hurrying to Boise, Idaho, to meet the pathfinder and pilot it through Idaho and Eastern Washington into Seattle. Mr. Guggenheim shipped his own car from New York to Boise, fearing that he was too late to catch the pathfinder at Granger, Wyo., as originally planned. When he spied the forlorn and deserted Thomas on the open prairie, Mr. Gug- genheim sized up the situation and left the train at Green River. There he met Clarence Hanford, a member of the Seuttle Automobile Club, who had been mapping out the route from Granger on, George Miller and my- who had come to division head- quarters to solicit railroad aid. . Mr. Guggenheim returned to Bitter Creek with us, and put in the greater part of the day shoveling mud and handling ties under the sharp orders of a Swedish section boss. By the time the car was free, the cup donor was plastered with clay from head to foot, owing to two falls in the bog. He took a night train for Boise with the intention of driving his own car back to Pocatello and meeting the pathfinders there. self, Lost cn the Plateau. It was betwcen Hanna and Walcott that the pathfinders became hopelessly lost for the first time since leaving New York. Time and again we have missed the road and been forced to re- trace our way and to ask questions in- numerable, but this experience was something quite different, and but for a lucky chance, we might have wan- dered aimlessly in the highlands of the Rockies until our gasoline supply gave out. As it was, there were only a few drops in the tank when the car finally made Walcott, after having taken over six hours to do the 20 miles between that town and Hanna. The wagon road led through a bad swamp, and it vas in attempting to detour around a small hill that we missed the way. We cir- cled the hill without much _§ trouble, but when we arrived on the other side, the road had entirely disappeared, not a wagon track was to be found and for four hours the car was driven ..i zigzags and circles, in a vain attempt to find even a wheel rut. Finally we crested a low ridge and dropped onto the main trail again. Where it’ had been in the meantime was a puzzle none of us could solve, for we certain- ly crossed and recrossed the line a dozen times. During our wanderings that morning we ran out of water, but fortunately found patches of snew, with which we stuffed the radiator. Better Roads From Now On. From Green River westward the roads are reported in fair condition, and if 15-hour-a-day runs will turn the trick, the car will be in Seattle by the first of May. There are still two mountain ranges, the Blue and the Cascades, be- tween the pathfinders and its destina- tion, and the famous Enoqualmie Pass over the latter range has still to be crossed, but there are long stretches of good road through Idaho and Washing- ton over which the car can do enough mileage to strike a good average for the next week, Driving from daylight to dark, it seems likely that there will be days when the instrument will register close to the 200-mile mark, and with one or two long runs it is quite possible to cov-

Auto Bill Removes Speed Regulttions, Under the new automobile bill before the New York Legislature all speed limitations prescribed by State or local ordinances are abolished and the com- mon law rule requiring safe driving un- der ali conditions is adopted. Upon this question the bill reads: “Every person operating a motor ve- hicle on the public highways of this State shall drive the same in a careful and prudent manner and at a rate of speed so as not to endanger the property of another or the life or limb of any person.’”’ The new law puts the question of speeding entirely up to the good judg- ment and common sense of the automo bile user and to the courts. .

HADLEY IS AGGRIEVED

Governor Calls It a ‘Do Noth- ing Legislature“— New Laws.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Poat-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Aprfl 24.—Gov. Hadley’s intimation that the present Seneral Assembly will be designated by the people as a ‘“do-nothing ,Legisla- ture’? has emphasized the fact. that since State have been enacted. They are: County supervision of public schools and a law requiring the examination and registration of trained nurses. Jf the other 18 passed there is. searceiy one of more than passing locai interest. The important revente measures, home rule legislation for the large cit- fes, the bill to create a State Utilities Commission and other pressing matters are still under considerstion. To date, the Forty-fifth General As- sembly has cost the taxpayers of the State $300,000. Auditor Gordon has 4€ls- continued the payment of the salaries of clerks and members until the gen- eral appropriation bills are passed. These bills have just emerged from the committee rooms and they will be threshed out at least ten days. They call for appropriations to maintain the State Government and its Institutions amounting to $11,000,000 annually, where- as Gov. Hadley pointed out in his mes- sage to the Legislature a few days ago that only $8,500,000 revenue receipts are in sight. One of the Governor’s pet measures, providing for the taxation of the capital stock of corporations, has been laid to rest. It was expected from this source to raise $300,000. Representatives of the social clubs have succeeded in delaying action on bills to license clubs and sub- ject them to the provisions of the gen- eral Gramshop laws. Administration Not Strong. In the case of other important reve- nue-producing propositions, the Legisla- ture has shown no disposition to carry out the administration’s suggestions. Gov. Hadley says that if nothing is dene the fault cannot be charged to the Executive Department. “The administration has done every- thing possible to bestir the legislators,”’ Geclared the Governor. “I recognize, however, that the legislative is distinct from the executive department.” Of the legislative expenses, about $175,- 000 has been spent for clerical hire. Six lawyers, at $70 a week each, are working on the revision of the statutes. They have made fair progress, but will not complete their task within the next six months, according to present indi- cations, The 120-day legislative pefiod, after which the salary of members will be cut to $1 a day, will expire May 6, or 19 days hence. Legislatore leaders say that it will be impossible to hold any considerable number of the farmer members after that date. Probably Last Till May 15. Representativd Griffith has intro- duced a resolution setting May 10 as the day of sine die adjeurnment. It is probable the session will continue unti! May 16, The possibility of an immediate extra session is being discussed by legislators, although Gov. Hadley insists there will be none. The Governor can see no use- ful purpose in an extra session at this time, but it is thought likely he may Call one late in the fall or early next year. 20 Billa Become Law Out of 2000 bills introguced “tn both branches of the Assembly, the 20 which have become laws are: By Senator McDavid of Greene County: Creating the office of School Supervisor in all the coun- ties of the State. By Senator Malang of Jasper Ceunty: Giving to mechanics and other persons a lien upen wagons, buggies, surreys, phaetons, auto- mobiles, trucks and drays for serv- ices performed or materials fur- nished.

Costs Millions to Feed Canaries. I'rom the New York World. There are 5,000,000 caged canary birds in the United States, and it costs §7,- 000,000 annually to feed them, according to a report from Robert J. Thompson, United States Consul at Hanover, pub- lished in the daily consular and trade reports of the Department of Com- merce and Labor. It is estimated that the ordinary house canary will eat 25 pounds of seed a year, which costs an

average for each bird of $1.50.

Pamphlet Enljtled “Musical Tele. pathy” by Tebaldini Excites MILAN, Italy, April 34.—Buropean musical critics are greatly agitated over the insinuation of plagariem against Richard Strauss tn a pamph- let entitled “Musical Telepathy,” by G. Tebaldint of Turin. Tebaldini eug- gests that Struss is largely indebted for certain parts of the score of his opera, “Electra,” to an opera called “Cassandra,” written Italian composer Gnecchi, produced published by the Rico of Milan. . The resemblance, given in parallel) — columne and numbering some hu, dreds of elaborate rhythmical fig- - ures, are to be found In combination with themes practically identical in both operas. Passages of vocal dec- lamation are also similar. The defenders of Strauss minimize the importance of these resem- blances. Some of the most striking, they say, occurred hundreds of times in Strauss’ earlier composftions, whence Gnecchi may have assimilat- ed them.

FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 25, ’09 UNdAY POST-DISPATCH

At i / , pee. hi ih i i bbs m did me ef af PRINCE ENGAL/7 CHEFF whose beauty, though she is the daughter of a Chicago millionaire, has been pro- claimed by the most fastidious connoisseurs of female charms in Europe as a perfect revival of the Venus de Milo, has now been mysteriously jeopardized by a jealous enemy, employing the subtle weapon of forgery. An anonymous letter writer, counterfeiting the handwriting of the Princess so closely as to de- ceive experts like Marshall D. Ewell, with the purpose, it is declared by the brother of the Prin- cess, of estranging her from her husband after several years of wedded happiness and the birth of a beautiful child, has sent annoying missives, written in the name of the Princess, to the Chi- cago newspapers and to intimate friends of the family, announcing that the Princess will soon seek a divorce from her titled husband. These forgeries, as they have been pronounced by the Princess herself, and her husband, read as fol- lows: “Hotel de France, Nice.—The Princess Engal- itcheff has instituted preceedings for a divorce from her husband, Prince Engalitcheff. She is returning to America, where she will commence further proceedings immediately upon her ar- rival.” The brother of the Princess, E. W. Partridge of Chicago, gives convincing reasons for believing that these 1 are fabrications of some un- ‘actuated by social jealousy or - for some fancied slight. yh of the daughter of Charles W. Partridge, the millionaire Board of Trade plung- er, and founder of department stores, was instan- taneous and complete in the palace and court of the Romanoffs. The royal modiste, Mme. Kne- kassoff, sent the intelligence abroad through Rus- sia, where the face is regarded as secondary to the charms of the figure in estimation of a woman's loveliness, that the Princess Engalitcheff has the most wonderfully perfect form that she has ever found. Even before the nobles had heard of this the Princess had been admired as quite the most beautiful visitor whose presence had ever graced the functions of the Czar’s court. She became the observed of all observers, for this expert, whose hands fly about fitting the first ladies of the empire, proclaimed that here perfection itself had been outdone. Chicago had long known the charms of the Princess, daughter of one of its greatest merchants. When she mar- ried the dashing Prince Nicholas Engalitcheff, Vice-Counsel at Chicago, handsome, gifted and _of imperial lineage, the city hailed the match as one of the most brilliant that any American gir] had achieved. To. fabulous career of Princess Engalitcheff,

Mh Mists Bh if Hy) Hi) Mac Mrs. Potter Palmer at once espoused the socini fortunes of the Princess. Before her mearriage she had not been invited into th. very upper- most circles, for, ily and the dazzling beauty of the young Miss Partridge, barriers formed in the pioneer days still held. But once launched upon the social tide there was no end to the victories of the beautifui Princess. She became the leader of “the Diplomatic Circle in Chicago,” which is a social factor not to be forgotten. She was the first real Princess that Chicago had ever owned, and Chicago (which boasts of its democracy and nearness to the soil) is one of the most susceptible communities in the world to a title. So Chicago made much of her. Less than a year age, after reaching the zenith in American social triumphs, the Prince and Princess decided upon a winter season at the Russian court, where their entree was a matter of simply accepting a welcome which had long beckoned them. And in Russia, far from the scenes of her girlhood, in a land of foreigners and strangers, the Chicago heiress made her mos' pronounced success and in addition was discovered to be the “perfect woman.” And Chicago, when it heard of this verdict, agreed that it was just. Princess Engalitcheff is slightly taller than the average woman, measuring 5 feet and 9 inches from the heel of her French boot to the crown of her head. But she is so perfectly proportioned that her height does not seem beyond that of he sisters’ over whose pompadours she could gaze without craning her neck. Her most beautiful and graceful line is the softly melting curve from her chin to the lower chest. It is declared ex- quisite when she appears in decollette. There is not an akrupt line in the Princess’ en- tire figure. That is declared one of its most distinguishing charms. There is nothing that startles the eye. No feature seems too large or too small. . This is the quality which t.e ancient judges of beatity ascribed +o the Venus de Milo. The neck slopes into the shoulders; the arms seem fitted for just such shoulders and the elbows and wrists moldeu for just sucu rounded and dimpled arms. The height of the perfeet woman from the standpoint of symmetry should be just eight times the length of her head, and in this estimate the Princess Engalitcheff is perfect. The. Princess’ face in itself is a type of rare beauty. She has softly dark eyes, a complexion of “rose in the snow,” to use the phrase of the Russian poet, Pushkin, and slightly waving brown hair that shades into gold. She does not re- semble the willowy reed typified by the Gibson girls or the other extraordinary figures which popular artists have created and attempted to set up as standards. She is a woman of physical strength and force, of buoyant health and vigor. Her waist is small, but not too small. Cor- setieres who have fitted the Princess say that the curve above her hips is too deep, though it is by no means sharp. But smallness of waist has been regarded throughout modern times as an added element of attractiveness in women, and this = .

This means that F AFTER being counted in millions, al] the people of Arkansas could be with 1,500,000 people in Ar- kansas this year, the United States must count out 90,000,000 next. vear to have 60 times the population of Arkansas. It will do this if it

en, counts up to the estimates made this year by the governors of each state. The subtraction can be done for the whole country next year, as far as necessary, leaving the Arkansas worker as one giant among the 59 others of the same size when the fifty-ninth appears to be counted fully grown. Counting the Arkansas giant as c..e out of 60 of his own size this year, he is doing the work of three of these great American giants with ax and saw and of five of them in the cotton field, These two items among hundreds of others are enough to answer the question of whether the Arkansas worker considered as a single giant. is either undersized, in bad vealth or lazy. With 60 giant workers each averaging all the energies of a million and a half Americans, the one among them which supplies them this year with a twelfth of all their materia! for cotton clothing, and a twentieth of everything that is cur out of the woods with the ax, must have healthy muscles and keep them in use to keep his standing. On both these items Arkansas is growing larg- er instead of smaller this year and every vear. As it cutis itself out of the woods, year by vear, it begins by planting more cotton and increases ‘its population in town and country, with a final {ncrease in everythin, else, including manufactur- ing plants, along the lines of its increasing mile- age of railroads. Arkansas produces pearls. They are very good pearls and ‘worth talking about. It has more miles of navigable rivers in it and bordering it than any other equal area in this country. With nearly 5000 miles of railroad, it has over 5000 miles of navigable rivers, and out of these gathers the fresh-water pearls which are so interesting in connection with its discoveries cf diamonds in Pike County. The latest answer an Arkansas enthusiast makes to a St. Louis ques- tion of what Arkansas is doing this vear is full the romance which belongs to gold and jewels. When the Pike County diamond fields equal those ff South Africa he expects Arkansas to be rec- ognized as at the front. But Arkansas is at the front this year with forest products alone worth more than all the diamonds, all the pearls and all the other precious stones the United States buys in a year from South Africa and all other coun- tries. Its cotton this year will be worth mor than all the gold the United States ot last year from all other countries in the world. These are the figures as reported at Washington: Arkansas. cotton, 1,009,000 bales, 1908-9) $56,850,000 Total gold imports into United States from al! countries, 1908............. 560,276,000 Arkansas forest products, Census of 28 65 OU other precious stones bought by Unit- ed States from South Africa and al) other countries, 1908 14,208,008 From the standpoint of business, in forward- ing homeseekers through St. Louis to develop the Southwest, ihis means that Arkansa; is proba bly doing more work this year than any othe) State, even than Missouri itself tu make St. Louis history during the next 10 years, Diamonds and pearls have almost nothing to do with population to the square mile. More population to the square mile js what counts most for more Southwestern business. More population to the square mile for Arkansas increasing at higher percentages than ever before, comer into plain sight from St. Loule when the work of the Arkansas ax was worth twice as much in a year as the busines* done by the United States with South Africa and the world in diamonds, pearls, rubies and all other precious stones. When the. trees are cut away from another Aransas acre, 't means another mule at work. raising one more bale of cotton. In January, 1909, Arkansas mules were worth $21,483,000, which is a great deal more than al! the countries of the world got out of the entire United States last, year for diamonds and other precious stones. This is the main point in the history Arkansas ie making how, as it will mean percentages of new growth rising until they are felt in St. Louis and by every state in the United States, Arkansas has a species of “dirt” called bauxite, not near); ee ue _— as its common soil and never likely “3. 8@ , point as likely to be worth more than the 4ia- = teord Nelds of South Africa, wherever it is com- > tion enough.

I! give that as my expert opinion.” Those who are inclined to believe that the Princess wrote the letters herself also point to the fact that the family in Chicago has shown an inclination to drop the case. So far the matter has not even been directly referred to the Post- office Inenerto". True, the Government is work- ing on the case, but Postoffice Inspector 8 uart has begun the investigation on his own responsi- bility. The Engalitcheff home in Deming place, which was rented when the Prince and Princess went to Europe, has long since been vacated, but has not been reopened by its owner.

It has coal) in it under 12,000 square miles in 12 counties, and all the other minerals Missouri has -outh of the Missouri River. This means coal and iron, lead and zinc, na- tural gas and petroleum, with no question of reaching them except “where and how deep.” It means also, gold and silver, copper and precious stones marked enough for all the purposes of in- teresting conversation, but with coal and iron enough to mean all the business anyone goes after as business. With Arkansas coal mined at the rate of between two and three million tons a year, \ : (3 | \ \ \ ; Some Arkansas Gains in 10 Years Taxable Value of Property— $179,171,998 302,181,181 Public School Enrollment-—— + 1897-8 Cotton Crop— Bales, 1898-9 Bales, 1908-9 Value of Forest Products— it is worth more than diamonds, but this part of Arkansas has been “hardly scratched below the surface.” It has the same future as Southwest Missouri of which it is an extension across the State line, with a further extension into the oil and mineral sections of Oklahoma and Texas. It is already a great fruit country and its high- land farms are all health resorts. ; A St. Louis promoter explains what will occu in developing coal and other things in New Ar- kansas when he says that North of Little Rock in this part of the State there is still an area larger than New Jersey and Delaware combined, where the people “still have to travel to see a railroad or hear a locomotive whistle.” With 5000 miles of railroad track to show in next year’s census and an increase of over 25 per cent in half the decade, Arkansas railroads have left this part of the State for the future because it is cheaper to lay track first on low and level ground than among hills in highland country. Coal, iron and other minerals stay in the ground until they can be moved easily, when they are dug out. North of Little Rock, and west of the line drawn from St. Louls past Little Rock the railroads of New Arkansas will open up this country. South of Little Rock they wil] open up another area west of the line from St. Louis, where the people of Rhode Island and Delaware might now find as much room as they have at home without being disturbed by ratiroad whistles. East of the line, in the Arkansas lowlands, where farms have been cut out of the densest woods in the country and planted in cotton on river valley land, the result the second year is always likely to be over a bale to the acre. With St. Louis railroads crossing this part of the State from northeast to southwest, it is crossed by the Arkansas “system of navigable waterways” on their way to the Mississippi. It has some prairie counties, but it has hardwood forests worth hun- dreds of millions. into which the sawmill can hardly work its way even yet. As the woods are cut out of the river bottom the bottoms dry out and cease to be malarial. In the southern part of this half of the State the rice-growing area of New Arkansas is being planned. Rice needs water and the State has rivers enough to give the water. Seven or eight counties are now growing rice and reporting as high as 98 bushels to the acre, which, at from 80 cents to $1 a bushel, will be worth a great deal of money when the acreage of 10,000 increnses to 100,000 acres and upwaids. There is ample room for the increase. This is equ lly true of every- thing else. When Arkansas produces a million bales of cot- ton, 2,000,000 bushels of wheat, 50,000,000 bushels corn and over $80,000,000 a year in the total value of its farm products, it is business already great. but with room for it to double and then to again twice over. This is what St. Louis > it to begin doing. “What is the matter with Artansas*’’’ Nothing except room for its great future, to be filled in as soon as with Louis promoter of Arkansas ending his review of the present and the State as a field for new business.

For several years Miss Emily Ma- rion Wilk, one of the most charming young women in Chicago society, daughter of the millionaire, Fred L. Wilk, banker, has exercised a tender and tireless guardianship over the poor and the distressed, the mismated and the despairing in the section which composes the seamy side of the big city. Through all that time she was | 2- sought by many suitors, and upon them all she smiled and answered that she could not serve two master; —that she was entirely wrapped up in her seedy wards and proteges and that no child of prosperity could clalin any -valuable portion of her senti- ments and attention, not to speak of monopolizing it. It required an upheaval of the court system of an entire state to dislodge Miss Wilk from this position. When that legal cataclysm shook the entire commonwealth it also toppled wer from her gracious fad and threw ner into the arms, as it were, of the big and handsome society man who had been most assiduously courting her even when hope seemed least justi- fied. SOCIETY TO SETTLEMENT. Here is how it all came about, this being the story of how a girl of di- vine beauty and more wealth than most girls, even in society command, became a “Settlement Worker” and devoted herself to charity, putting aside Cupid, and how a _ political tangle at last robbed her of her char- itable specialty and found her recep- tive to the wooings of a society physi- cian. The lovers of the poor and the thinkers of the “higher thought” were never more stirred in the his- tory of Illinois than in the methods introduced by Judge McKenzie Cle- land, who was elected in a Republi- ean landslide to a seat on the Muni- cipal Court bench three years ago. Judge Cleland was appointed by Chief Justice Olson to preside over the Maxwell Street Police Branch of the Court, into which is cast every day the riffraff of a great city, the very poorest, the most degraded, the most needful of sympathy and indulgence and the most needful of strict justice of the entire community. THE INNOCENT SUFFER. He saw after a few days of his in- cumbency there that 80 per cent of the cases were either “drunk and dis- orderly” or grew out of that class cf offense. The first few of these male- factors against the peace and law of the city he fined, as would any other dge. He saw that none of them vast d the wherewithal to pay the said fines, and the offenders were there- must be punished, so that they shall hesitate to sin again. “These women and children have not sinned, but when their b cadwin- ners are put away behind the bars they are punished even more severely and pitilessly than those who have broken the law.”’ JUDGE PAROLED OFFENDERS. He strove for a medium whereby justice could be done to all and found that myriads of reformers and high thinkers had striven for the answer to the same problem before him, and none had worked it out to satisfac- tion. So he decided on a compromise and initiated his famous parole sys- tem for adult offenders in misde- meanors which at once divided the city into two classes—with him and against him—and attracted the at- tention of the world to a degree thi amazed everyone. The lawyers as a body were against him. They said that paroling adults was illegal. ‘1.e clubwomen and hu- manitarians were stanchly with --im, feted him and sang his praises and said that humanity would live to bles the name of McKenzie Cleland. His parole system was exercised by manipulation of the law. In every instance of a man who had become disorderly through drink, who had caused a disturbance or beaten his family, the Judge found him guilty and fined him, then suspended the sentence and continued the case for a week, At the end of the week the paroled prisoner hed to report in court with his wife, and if his behavior had been such as to jus‘ify further mercy, h's case was again continued, and sv cn. If he had fallen badly again he was again fined, and in extreme cases; which were few, if the prisoner had shown himself unworthy of the Court's further leniency, the sentence was reinstated and he was sent to work out his fines in the House tant conclusions: ¢ *f & " men have sinned and they ®e beautiful daughter of the noted Lan..- er. She had just finished at an a-:ad- a for polishing the daughters of t. rich. Miss Wilk becume enthusiastic vv. the system. She undertook to .ur- nish aid to 60 families of the paroled prisoners, t. help the men straighten up and to help the women and chil- dren endure. She organized classes for the little ones, brought bas*ets of food to the women and kept upon the trails of the men, encouraging them to keep within their p.role, seeling to t« «no them the beauty of temperance and Miss Wilk, the the rewards of righteous living and the divine application of the golden rule. Soon she had won the worship her 60 rough and sheepish men pri teges to a degree where she had them under more or less control. She as- pired then not only to keep them from beating their wives and children and to keep them honest, but further- more to establi:n for them something that would make it possible for them to be elevated from the depths of pov- erty. She preached respect:.dility and am- bition to them. She told them the wonders of the farm and the stories of the men who had worked their way from poverty as depressing as theirs and had reached great pinnacles. When Christmas came she strug- gled and worried with herself to find a suitable Christmas gift for her 60 “pets,”” as they became known, and she finally evolved a happy idea. -On Christmas morning, into the home of each of these families came a bank book from Miss Wilk’s father’s bank, showing that she had deposited there as a savings account $10 for each, together with a letter of cheer and encouragement, asking them to add as much as possible to this nuclevs every week, so that they might in time have a sum of helpful dimen- sions piled up for a rainy day or a business investment that might solve for them the apparently hopeless pov- erty. rf PLAN HIGHLY PRAISED. The city rang with the experiment. Women’s clubs praised the beautiful philanthropist and predicted gratify- ing results. And the results in the main were gratifving. To be sure, a few of 60 breadwinners withdrew their $10 de- posits the dav after Christmas and spent it for levee whisky and Ghetto beer until they grew riotous and landed before Judge Cleland the day after. But most of the men were grateful and many of them are .oday in possession of neat nest eggs which most entirely and only her most in- timate friends saw aught of her. But Cupid had not lost track of the young woman just because she had chosen her pleasures in a sphere to which she did not belong by either station or means. Her suitors found her and pressed their claims for her hand with unflagging assiduousness, To them all she turned the pro- verbial deaf ear. Her interests, she said, were with those who needed her, not with those who wanted her, merely and, as many a young woman had declared before her, to change her resolution when Cupid sent the right man along, she said that she could not carry out her chosen life work and nourish a romance at the same time, so she had decided never to marry. And as she is a young woman of resolute character, it is just possible that she would have made good this decision, had not a turn of the cards of politics swept from her the under- pinning of the framework of charit: which she had constructed. LAWYERS OPPOSED PLAN. Judge Cleland, as has been pointed out, became a figure of conspicuous prominence through the exercise of his parole experiment on so wide a scale. His very enemies served to make his popularity greater. From the platform as well as from the bench he pointed out the injustice of sending offenders to the Bridewel] to let their innocent families suffer And with the exception of the hard- minded lawyers, who could see only the inviolate properties of law, he won the almost unanimous support of the community. Then came a campaign in which some of his fellow judges ran for re-election. They were and had been opposed to Judge Cleland’s humani- tarian and slightly irregular court procedure and had been called upon to withstand some criticism for be- ing so inclined. The question became the most important of all the issues of the campaign and threatened to UES VERE eae

The fund from which the pensions are paid is drawn from the members, the assessment being one-half of one per cent of their earnings. The persons entitled to pensions are members over 60 years of age who have been in good standing for least twenty consecutive years, and who are not in a por'tion to ear: their living. The pension is $4 pe; week. There & now over five hun- dred members on the pension roll. and the number will undoubtedly in- crease, as it is known that there are many who vr entitled to the pen- sion who have not yet asked for it.

branch, where business is done by bloodless briefs and the personal equation and the human sympathies have no weight. There was a pretty storm. The ‘Settlement workers” and the chari- tably inclined created a hurricane of protest and denounced Justice Olson. Justice Olson is a cold and calm person. He is not swayed by the clamor of the populace or the desires , of the multitude. He knows only one law and that is entirely contained in Hu:d's revised siatutes of the Staie of Illinois. So he prepared a statement ex- plaining his position and justifying himself. The statement created a sensation. It showed, in the language of the Justice, that Judge Cleland had violated every’ tenet of his oath, had dragged the ermine of his State in the mud of the Ghetto every time he had paroled an adult prisoner, and had generally disgraced himself. The turn of public opinfon was tremen- dous. Justice Olson’s statement was unemotional and unsympathetic, bu: he quoted law after law and decision after decision, and there was no con- traverting i’ It was proven beyond doubt that Judge Cleland’s practice had been vrossly without the limite of his power. Public sentiment, while still cherishing the belief that such a sys- tem ought to be made legal, became almost unanimous in the dec'sion that as the law stands now Judge Cle- land had erred. And among .uwe converts was Miss Wilk. Bitterly as she regretted that the law was so, she realized that

_—_ Judge Cleland’s interpretation had been wrong and she announced that she could no longer remain part of a system which had been demon- strated as illegal. And to make it more distressing, the Judge who succeeded Cleland re- fused to sanction the parole system which his predecessor had installed and dragged in all the unfortunates that had been living on parole to work out their original sentences. SETTLEMENT TO SOCIETY. It was too much. Miss Wilk threw up her hands and said someone more able to contend with the new situa- tion than her weak, lone and youth- ful self would have to preside thence- forth over the destinies of the 60 un- fortunate families. After casting @ few lingering looks behind her at the uninviting precincts of the Ghetto, she returned to the elite North Side and re-entered the life which her so- cial station prescribed for her. That was the psychological moment. For many months Dr. Robert Smith, a well-known society physi- cian, had pressed his woo'tng with, no gratifying results. When the reversal came he found the young woman of his heart depressed, cast down, seek- ing comfort and sympathy. He gave her all of these and she looked into his eyes and gave him his reward. So now the “Angel of the Ghetto” is to be married and the children of the slums will see her no more. And thus has pclitics come to the aid of Cupid and helped the little sire of love to steal back to romance one of the fairest daughters who had strayed where sympathy and charity led, scoffing at the calls of the lows which is her | rightful portion.

Should this ratio be main- tained for 52 weeks the demands on the pension fund would be far less than its revenue. However, the ex- penditures from the ‘und will con- stantly grow, as is evidenced by the continu d addition of names to the roll of pensioners. This statement is also borne out by the experience of the English unions that have for years conducted pension funds. Applications for the pension to the number of 566 had been received and acted upon up to January 31, 1909. Of this number 44 petitions were d's- approved, one was withd*awn, and 521 were approved.

An analysis of tne ages of the-pen- sion applicants develops the notable fact that the average age of the 566 applicants is 68.5 years.

Remarkable Experiments of S. E. Sparks of: Falls City, Neb., Who by Inter- breeding Has

HE big horses that pull the heavy ay wagons from the wholesale dis- trict to the freight depots and the Mississippi River levee will weigh 5000 pounds and be trebled in size. Wolves domest:cated by a strain of dog blood will guard the houses of the residents of Kirkwood, Webst Groves and Cla~ 1. The richest fur robes will be made from the pelts of a new fox dog. More wonderful than all, the sheep of Missouri, Kunsas and Oklahom will be herded by the very wolvis that now prey upon them. All the- things wili be if the experiments of S. bk. Sparks, an animal breeder Falls City, Neb., are perfected. Mr. Svarks has agen dy Lroduced a 3000-pound iaare, vdluet at $25,000: cross between a fox and a dog; | grevhound-wolf hybrid and a mastiff- wolf cross. These rest!ts are t product of 22 vears of effort and are the basis for the prediction that ani- mals may be t: 2:ated in apparent de- fiunce of nature’s laws, as Luth Burbank has handled plants. New varieties of animals, combin- ing the best points of establishe breeds and eliminating their weak- nesses, says Mr. Sparks, can be made just as new fruits have been devel- »ped. The only reason this has nct been done may be found in .szans ig- -norance of the subject. IMAGINE THESE THINGS.

Several years ago Sparks was struck with the idea of producing a bigger fox in order that he might gain the advantage of larger pelts cf this very valuable fur-bearing anl- mal. FUR QUALITY MAINTAINED. To make this cross valuable it was necessary to get not only :ize but to maintain the coloring, thickness and fineness of the fox fur. For this rea- son a number of breeds of la:ger dogs, which might have given the new an- imal greater size, were eliminated ed a large fox terrier finally chosen for the experiment. A red fox female was captured wild in Canada and brought to the Sparks farm, where she was mated with as large a speci- men‘of the fox terrier as could be found. The danger of this mating was that the fox terrier might have asserted itself as the stronger breed, pro- ducing an animal whose entire exteri- or was that of a dog rather than that of a fox. This would have at once destroyed the purpose of the ex- periment. But with the coming of the litter Spar’s found that the fox was pre- dominant. The pups were large and strong; they had the head of the dog, the nose of the fox, but, whar was most important, the skin of a fox. At the age of three months it is apparent that -he pelt of the new animal is going to be even more val- uable than that of the fox itself. The hair is closer and softer than in tl; origina] fox and will be at least as long as in the ancestor. At the same age the fox-dog is a trifle larger and considerably hea than the mother. The pup is tame and intelligent, inheriting tne su- perior brain capacity of the terrier dog. At times, however, it snaps and fights like the fox. It is not afraid of man, however. At full size the new product will be at least double the size of the original fox and will produce a fur twice as valuable . he « »# 4 . ap ® » q ;. > 4 - Les. % P » mi - 4.

Diaz, the despot, the tool of the American plutocracy, promptly suppresses all agitation and shoots labor leaders to keep the peons in helpless subjection. That is his part of the contract with the American capitalists. “HE GUARANTEES THEM AN UNFAILING ABUNDANCE OF THE CHEAPEST LABOR ON EARTH. They, on the other hand, in- vest their capital, with the result that there is the richest picking for both sides, and all based upon the slavery of the working population.”

f- CA EE oe ene: yee ial ky a ae fate: t ALTON has had > “took.” Romantic Culmina- tion of a Girl's Rash Experiment to Prove the Devotion of Her Admirer. ERO-TESTING in th days of H Mary, Queen of Scotts; Ann ° Austria and others of thowe troublesome times was nothing un- common, Knights would wade through blood, run the gantlet of thousands of swords, fight duels and even sacrifice th lives for the priv- ilege of kissing their lady love's hand. The hero-testers demanded it. To win the heart and hand of the wom- an he loved the man must first prove himself a here he must show his mettle. For hundreds of years now a mere declaration of affection has sufficed. “I love you, darling; °“e my wife,” said in true Laura Jea Libby style, has been sufficient for the average girl of this period. But Chicago, at least one Chicago girl, is coming back to the days when knighthood was in flower. This gir] is Anna McCauley, pretty debutante of a few seasons ago and prominent in the social set of the fashionable North Side. The words of Carlyle, ‘“‘Heroes have gone out, quacks have come _ in,” haunted her whenever Arthur White, her sweetheart, called upon her. “I wonder if Artie is a hero?’ came to her mind whenever she saw him. Miss McCauley’s ideal of a man was a hero, six feet tall and broad- shouldered. Just such a man as s..° saw several times in the 260-pound halfback of the University of Chicago football team, but she was not fortu- nate enough to be introduced to him. The fates brought Arthur White . her. While he did not exacily meas- ure up to the standard fixed in her mind by the 260-pound gridiron star, White seemed to come nearer to . specifications than any other man of her acquaintance. A RECKLESS RESOLVE. Their acquain.ance grew into some- thing more than friendship, and sae had been asked to become a bride. Begging time to consider the step, Miss McCauley resolved then a 1 there to ascertain, first of all, if Arthur really was a hero, and, sec- ond, if he cared enough for her to risk his life to save hers. To accomplish this it was neces- sary for her to put herself in jeo- pardy. Not that she really wanted to endanger her life, } 1t it so uap- pened that her calculations did not prove right, and had not White real- ly proved himself a man of nerve there would have been another job for the undertaker. Know'ng that her sweetheart was following her on her merning strol! along the lake shore, Miss McCauley leeped into the icy water of Lake Michigan. The “experiment” proved highly successful, but the girl had a nariow escape from drowning. Hardly had she entered the wa- ter, which she had expected to find but a foot or two deep, when she stepped in a hole.. The water reached nearly to her eyes, and her screams for help were not an imitation. White, who had been following a short distance behind, started for the hero tester as soon as he saw her leap into the water. Without waiting to remove any of his clothing he plunged in after her, gra’ped for clothing and dragged her to shore. At this point Policeman Orhall of the Lirftoln Park force appeared on the scene. “Lovers’ quarrel, attempt- ed suicide,” he murmured to himself as he approached the couple. IT WAS JUST A JOKE. “What's your name and what are you doing here?” asked the policeman of Miss McCauley, and that’s how happened that ‘he story of her hero- testing became public. “My name is Anna McCauley: ; just jumped into the water to see what Arthur would do. I was only joking with him,” cried the girl, spitting out @ mouthful of water and co dozen pieces of gravel. The young man, thoroughly soaked, was standing by her, shivering in the chill March breeze. He didn’t seem to appreciate the full extent of the experiment, and told the policeman so in tones that his sweetheart could not overhear. half a “Come on, Anna, and I'll take you home,” chattered White, whose hero- ism will henceforth go unchallenged. The girl was still weeping when they entered the cab three blocks away, but by tue time they reached her home the couple had come to a full and complete’ understanding, Anna had accepted Arthur as her hero and the wedding day had been set. At her home the following day Miss McCauley was not prone to dis- cuss the “test.” “It was all a joke,” ow gaid. “I I thought I would frighten him and at the same time find out whether or not he was the kind of a man I wanted to marry. I hadn't contem- plated stepping into any holes, though. If ..rthur hadn't been a real hero I would have drowned.” “How did Arthur take it?” asked. “Oh, he isn’t mad a bit; he just took it as a joke,” replied the herv- tester. It was suggested that it also re- quired some bravery on her part to jump into the lake, but Miss McCauley admitted that she might have hesitat- was ed had she kiown the depth of the water. “This was a joke, but for love I would do anything,” said she. “I have been reading some of Henrik Ibsen’s dramas, and I believe I am a second Rebecca in some ways. “Johannes Rosmer, in Ibsen’s ‘Ros- mersholm,’ demands that Rebecca prove her love by jumping into tho mill race and ending her life as did his first wife. Should this be de- manded of me I would do it, pro- vided, however, the one for whose Jove I would do it would also prove his love by accompanying me into eternity. “This is the day of the divorce court. In tue days when men were obliged to prove their mettle before they found favor with the object of their affections there was not iv much divorce scandal. If more girls became ‘hero-testers,’ as you call it, there would be less use for the di- vorce court. “Passionate love and calm, clear- eyed common sense rarely go togeth- er. On the other hand, there Is a general feeling that affection, in or- der to be genuine, must be impulsive, nor ever be so self-controlled as to take counsel of prudence. Men and women being in love do not hesitate to confess their lack of wisdom, and expect the one fact fully to explain and equally to excuse the other as being its natural result. Dryden says: “ “The proverb holds that to be wise and love Is scarcely given to the gods above.’ “And Shakspeare tells us: ‘Love is merely madness and, I tell you, de- serves a dark house and a whip as madmen do: and the reason why they are not so punished and curd is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love themselves.’ Than She Imagined and She Might Have Drowned but for Arthur White, College Athlete---They Are Now Engaged. \ S&S “The proverpial wiiuaness of Cu- pid,” said Miss McCauley, “is to be added to this lack of recson, which is generally conceded to be part and parcel of love, in the case of women in particular. Nothing on earth can equal a woman’s love in blindness ‘o faults. “Once let a woman surrender her heart to a man, however unworthy, and she becomes not only willing, but eager, to follow the way of her heart. She will believe nothing to the discredit of her sweetheart, and friends, however intimate, who tell her uncomplimentary truths about him, incur her displeasure instead of her lasting gratitude. Perhaps sne regards them forever afterward as her bitterest enemies. Everybouy should say nice things about him, she thinks, and she prides herself upon her loyalty to him. “All this should be changed. The young women of today should loo. back to the time of Queen Elizabeth. All the things that happened then might not fit into this century, but it would do no harm if the men were a bit more heroic and chivalrous, and it would prevent a lot of future un- happiness if the voung women. test- ed the mettle of their sweethearts be- fore promising to share their joys and sorrows for life. NOT A BAD PLAN. “The man that will risk his hre to save yours before you are his wife, has enough of the spark of true man- hood in him to do the same thing again if necessary, after marriage. The man that is too cowardly to do it is not worth marrying, according to my way of ‘hn ing. “He mich! ma-e a good husband, provide a good homé, be kind to his wife and the children, if there ere any, but at the critical moment pro- bably would jump out of the burning building first and then think of his family when it is too late. But in nine cases out of ten the man who is not heroic does not make even a good husband in times when there is no danger and no necessity of bravery. : “It is not necessary for all girls to jump into the lake to find out whether or not their sweethearts are heroes,’ concluded Miss McCauley. “I'm afraid it would have a sad end- ing in the majority of cases. If Arthur had not really possessed all the qualifications of a man I would have lost my life in the attempt to find him out. Those who want to use this expedient should first be careful to measure the depth of the water at the point they intend to make the test. Even shrieks of alarm would not make heroes out of some cowards. My advice is, don't marry a _— unless he has proved himself a hero.” TEST WAS UNNECESSARY. _Had Miss McCauley only known, she might have saved ‘herself the in- convenience of the chilly plunge in the lake. Arthur White practically isa professional hero; that is, he h=3 saved so many lives that it has al- most become a habit with him. Three years ago in Milwaukee, his former home, two young women were rowing on the Kinnikinnic aiv- er when the swell in the wake of a tug upset their frail craft. White saw the accident from a distance, ran to the river’s edge, plunged in and saved the girls from drowning. Neither of them could swim and they were sinking for the last time when he reached them, On two other occasions White saved men and women from a watery grave. Once he stopped a runaway team .s it was about to dash into a thorough- fare crowded with schoolchildren. But he wears no medals, and mod- estly refrains from discussing any of his experiences as a life saver, par- ticularly that one which won for him the promise of Miss McCauley that she will be his bride in the fall. Asked his opinion on Miss Me- Cauley’s suggestion that women go back to the methods of Queen Blizga- beth’s time, he refused to commis himself. “Miss McCauley is a sensible little girl,” he said, “and I suppose that whatever she says goes. any criticism of her remarks to be made I leave it to others to do the criticising. by “Of course, a man to be every Ir a man, must be a hero; that, should think, is generally understood. However, I leave everything to be said on this subject to Miss - Mc- Cauley. As I have said before, she is a sensible girl, and no doubt knows what she is talking about.” AND SO THEY WILL WED. Helen Oldfield, a prominent writer on subjects touching the marital re- lation, agrees with Miss McCauley. She even goes further when she states: “There is nothing short of mental aberration which altogether can ex- plain the indisputable fact that so many good and otherwise sensib.e women are willing to marry men who absolutely have wallowed in pitc.., such as the Scripture assures us none can touch and not be defiled, and absolutely devoid of bravery, fondly and fatuously believing that the miraculous influence of love for themselves will wash the biack suecp as white as or whiter than any other in the whole human flock. Once in a great while the venture is success- ful; usually the too trusting wife finds through great sorrow and much tribulation how compelling is the power of long habit.” The wedding date of White and Miss McCauley having been set, Chi- cago society is awaiting the day. What kind of a husband will the “tested hero” make? And what kind of a wife will the “hero-teste be to him, are questions Northsiders are asking themselves. Time will tell.

By the weap- ons which will now be employed in Lone Star State, hundreds otf Phousancs of the voracious pests were et oyed last vear in Colorado, while, ere several years’ warfare, Kansas has been practically freed from thetn. How millions of prairie dogs over- yyun Texas is shown by the fact that qjbey average 25 to every acre of the Wemmense State. They eat enough he 288 every year, it has been calcu- i d4deved, to sustain a million and a half \qof cattle. In other words, 260 dogs in Texas devour the food which would supply one steer. The destruction wrought by the small animals is total and thorough. They eat not only the grass stalks, but grub up and consume the roots, leaving the ground atout their towns as naked as a tennis court. When they have exhausted the last vestige of vegetable life in one vicinity, they migrate to another and begin the work of devastation anew. Few who have stood in a zoo watching prairie dogs sitting before their burrows, and have been amuse? by their shyness and gambols, would believe that these small rodents, ap- parently so harmless, could create a situation calling for the intervention of the United States Government, and jeopardizing the vast industry of stock raising. Yet such is the truth. Out in the national forests which the Govern- ment is protecting for the use of the people, expert hunters are attacking the prairie dogs and slaying them by hundreds of thousands, using all of man’s ingenuity, armed with the weapons of chemistry. The means used for this wholesale extermination is cyanide of potassi- um, one of the deadliest weapons in the arsenal of poisons. It is made pal- atable by a isixture of molasses and anise oil, with strychnine, another poison, thrown in for good measure.

This potion is coated upon wheat, and the “doctored” grain spread broadcast through the prairie dog vil- lage. By actual test, 90 per cent of the pests in a town have been found dead 30 minutes after the first ad- ministration of the poisoned wheat. To be wholly successful, it has been found that the poison should be spread in the spring, just after the dogs have issued from their purrows after the winter’s hibernation, and before the green grass has been sup- plied in suff.cient quantities to ap- pease their starving appetites. The rodents will not eat dry grain to any extent if they can find fresh food, Fo1 this reason, the campaign is begin- ning early in Texas, because of the premature arrival of spring in its warm climate. When the poisoned mixture has

Deen prepared, it 1s boiled so that the ingredients may be completely dissolved. It is then poured over wheat, and the grain stirred until every grain is coated. The wheat is spreac out in the sun to dry and carried to the field of operations, where a number of horsemen _ are gathered. Each rider carries a tin pail of the deadly grain strapped over his shoul- der, leaving his left hand free to manage the reins and his right to wield a tablespoon, with which he drops a portion before the entrance of every burrow. A little practice enables the men to drop the wheat while keeping their horses at a sharp trot. By crossing the villages, to and fro, like a man sowing grain, they can cover a surprisingly large area

The owl has a natural taste for all animals of the rodent species, esteeming mice, squirrels and rats as toothsome delicacies. this owl, as described by the veracious ranchers, is a small and perhaps fears to pit its strength against that of a prairie dog, even if unrestrained by the scruples of hospitality. has a relish for rodents and birds, but is said to subdue its normal appetites while cuddled comfortably in the burrow, protected from inclement weather. in a short time. It is sometimes nec- essary to go over the field a second time to kill the few dogs which escaped the first dose of “medicine.” The pests retire to their burrows at the approach of the riders, but the smell of grain and molasses soon lures them forth again. They fall upon the grain dropped at their doors and devour it; pushing and fighting each other in their greediness. In a few minutes all are dead but the few weaklings which were crowd- ed away from the fatal manna, for the effect of cyanide of potassium is almost instantaneous.. A second ad- ministration of the poison makes a complete shambles out of what was a few minutes before a teeming city

Among them have been found the bodies of hundreds of ground squir- rels, gophers, field mice, badgers and skunks, undoubtedly killed by the poison. All these pests are obnoxious to the stockmen, for where they establish themselves the utter ruin of a ranch is only a question of time. The poisoning material for this slaughter is surprisingly cheay, its cost for depopulating a town coy- ering an acre being about one and one-half cents. To ascertain what success could be had in ridding considerable areas of the pest, a selection was made by the men of the Forestry Service of parts URING THE PO, riper THE WHEA T-. | Ww N\ | == = \\ i ddan * \\' —e J My: od ME Boe 2 . potas IE | | - ~ ~ oa8 - +. .

In order to demon- strate the effectiveness of the work, an area of some 60,000 to 75,000 acres of actual “dogtown” was chosen for the test. From 80 to 90 per cent of the dogs were killed with the first distribution of the poison. Formerly, the area of available land in proportion to the population was so adequate for all needs that little attention was paid to such pests as prairie dogs and gophers. But in re- cent vears the development of im- proved methods of farming, such as irrigation and the artesian water sup- ply, has enabled ranchmen to push farther and farther into the semi-arid territory once the domain of the prai- rie dog. Land holdings have de- creased in size and increased in value, so that the depredations of the pest are now more keenly felt. These considerations led Kansas several vears ago to begin an annual appropriation of $100,000 to finance a warfare against the prairie dog, which overran the State in myriads and committed a damage of millions of dollars a year. So successful was the work that Kansas is today prac- tically freed from the pests. On an average of 25 prairie dogs to the acre, which is considered a highly conservative estimate of ‘the population of the villages scattered about on the open ranges, the United State Biological Survey calculates that in Texas alone these rodents annually consume as much grass as would be eaten by 1,562,500 cows. There is no doubt that the value of grazing land upon which prairie dogs establish themselves is depreciated fully 50 per cent, because of their in- roads upon the food of the stock.

The depredations of these pests consist not only in the loss of grass and other crops, but in the accidental drainage of irrigation ditches, and in the danger to stock from stumbling in the holes. Running horses often trip and break their legs; and riders are sometimes injured and even killed. In Stillwater Valley, Montana, an irrigation ditch on a side hill was tapped by a prairie dog burrow, and the water was drained off and issue] 20 feet lower down the slope. The ditch was twice repaired, but the dogs again dug through its walls, until finally it was necessary to move the ditch out of their reach. The chief obstacle to the systematic destruction of the p-airie dog pest has hitherto been lack of co-opera- tion among the landowners. It is of little use to kill off the animals on ranches adjacent to large colonies in which the pests are suffered to con- tinue multiplying, which they do with the fertility of rabbits. Many ranch- men who have again and again pois- oned the pests upon their own lands, have given up in despair because of the rapid inflow trom adjoining , aa wee b. . a 24 ne - - = r* oy *> TEES Fst OU STL o # 2°: rs + “ _" : : Je , @ * , 7 ¢ > A * } i> 4 d 7 ~* .

In reducing the warfare in Texas to a system, it is expected that the ex- ample of the Government experts wil have an excellent effect. Great thingy are anticipated from a law recently introduced in the Legislature, making it the duty of every man owving land inhahited by prairie dogs to destroy the animals, under penalty of a fine not exceeding $100 for each section or part of section on which the pests - are allowed to remain. But even with the prairie dogs de stroved. Texas ahd the Southwest will still have many afilmal and tnsect pests to cope with before man will be able to concentrate himself on his own work without pausing to cepel the attacks of natural enemies. The gopher does a vast deal of damage to crops because it feeds on the roo's of plants and destroys great quant ties of garden stuff. It also theows up mounds of earth which bury ¢: iiss and other crops. It is said to be im- possible to estimate the total of its ravages, and war is being made ob it by traps and poison. Rabbits also do much harm throughout this section, by gnawing the bark from fruit trees and laying gardens waste. Though millions of them are slaughtered annually, they increase s> that there seems to have been little diminution in their nume- bers. It has been discovered that whitewash of lime and sulphur will protect orchard trees against rabbits for a year, when the coating must be renewed. Next to the dreaded locusts of bib- lical times in destructiveness is the cotton boll weevil of the Southwest, which costs the cotton planters more than $4,6@0,600 annually. It is esti- mated that the progeny of a single female moth during one season, after making allowance for destruction in. the various stages by natural agen- cies, number 21,175, enough to ruip 7800 large cotton plants.

Long before the beginning of the festival her- alds went forth throughout Greece, to proclaim a truce, during which all fighting must cease be- tween city and state; between state and state. A whole month of peace was proclaimed so that the Hellenic youth should be able to travel unmolest- ed ftom the ut:ermost boundaries of Hellas, in order to make the offering ef ‘hei piety and their vigor to the Olympian Zeus af F's. But there were no mo.e Me a hons in those days. Never again was that historie race run until 1896, when. at the new Olympic games the Greek Government instituted the Marathon race. The start was on the plain of Marathon, the fin- ish in the great new stadium built in Athens. There were twenty-five starters. On the even- ing before the race they went down to Mara- thon and there spent the night in charge of a special commissioner appointed by the Grecian Government. On the following day, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they were taken to the bridge at Marathon. chosen as the starting point. After having drawn their position they were started in two lines. The runners, lightly clad, started off with their attendants on bicycles, with Greek officers on horseback guarding their journey. Physicians were stationed along the route to give aid if necessary.

Heroic Feat of by Modern Revival of Classic Race 4 ICTORY!” gasped the young soldier from VV Marathon, as he tottered into Athens; then he died. His overtaxed, outraged heart literally burst. He had voluntee’ed to run from the battlelicld of Marathon to Athens with the news that the Greeks, in far less force, had beaten the horde of invading Persians and had driven them back to their ships with great slaughter. And that is why we have the twentieth-century Marathon, a relic of the classic days of so long, long ago. Today, when the Marathcn craze, with its heart-breaking pace, has caught the whole country, we are lacking just one year of living 2109 years .fter that first great Marathon run, which cost the runner his life. Marathon was a plain on the northeast coast of Attica on which lay four villages, smiled upon by the southern sun—Marathon, Probalinthos, Ninoe and Tricorythos. They formed a tetropolis, or city made up of four towns. It was divided from the plain of Athens by Mount Pentelicus and the hilly district of Diacria. But greatest of all, the plain of Marathon de- rives its chief fame from that Marathon—maker of historv—when an army of 10,000 Athenians and 100 Plataeans utterly routed a horde of 100,000 Persians. That great Greek soldier, Miltiades, commanded the little force from Athens; Datis and Artaphernes led the Per- sian host. Artaphernes was the nephew of King Darius of Persia, who had sent this mighty force the entire distance great battle o” “. to conquer all Greece and make it tributary to him. It was a bitter struggle—some of the Greek tribes were even willing to welcome the invad- ing Persians, but not the Athenians, in whose beautiful capital was cherished all that was best in Greece. To lose meant to go under the yoke of the Persian King. But Miltiades triumphed with a force only a tenth as great. He drove off the arrogant Per- sians to their ships, they leaving 6400 dead upon the field. Miltiades buried 192 of his men on the field. and afterwards the grateful Greeks erected a vast tumulus in their henor The city of Athens awaited the outcome of the expected battle with little hope. Were they to lose their all and be vassals of a barbarian -r were they to continue, free men and true, able to preserve their classic ideals? And Miltiades knew all this; knew they needed the news. He knew, too, that a man can run 26 miles faster than a horse. “Who will take the news of victory to Athens?” he cried. “T will,” said a youthful soldier, stepping from the ranks. But this was no sawdust track or macadamizeo road over wh'ch the bearer of the glad tidings had to run. It was up hill and down dale, over sand and rock, through mud and water. On, on, on, he ran, nearly naked, striving to get there at the earliest moment with his glad tidings. All Athens was waiting some news from the front. At length, far down the road, the guards on the outskirts of the city saw a tottering fig- ure, slowly running down the road that led from the plains of Marathon. Who was he? What news did he bring? Slow- lv the young man dragged himself into the great plain where the Athenians were wont to meet. He gasped out his message—and died. He had run 26 miles and 385 vards, which today has bs come the classic Marathon distance. The best historians say that this voung hero, “ho rot only fought in the battle, but ran from Marathon to Athens afterwards, was Pheidip- pides. Herodotus, “Father of History,” does not mention his name, however. But today the Government of Greece accept: him as the hero. So in 1896 the historic course was rerun for the first time, from Marathon to TRAINING [N CENTRAL

DORANDO LUNG GOAT before. The Parisian — Lemursiaux— was very tired then, and Ftack, the Australian, passed him. Meanwhile the Greek, Loues, was drawing up slowly. Following him was a crowd from his little village—almost a guard of honor. Laurentis was out of it. Then the Frenchman staggered and fell. He was carried away. Next Loues, the Greek, passed Flack, the Australian. Then Flack collapsed and was carried away unconscious. Loues was in the lead! In the stadium at Athens a great company was gathered. The spectators were anxiously awai.- ing the first arrival fom Marathon. Suddenly a cannon was fired. All eyes were fixed on the entrance. Then a form slowly ran into the arena. It was Loues, sunburned and covered with dust, but still game. The Crown Prince of Greece and Prince George jumped from their boxes to greet him. Taking places by his side thev-ran with him, one on the right the other on the left. Loues breasted the tape gallantly and walked over to the royal box, where the King of Greece sat. He bowed and the King took off his yachting cap and waved it enthusiastically. And then Loues went away to rest. He was fatigued, but not exhausted. He had done the historic Marathon course in 2h. 58m. and 20s., the first record. Vassilakos, a Greek, DELICATE GRGAN/SM OF THE HWEART CON TINUALLY DILATED BY ATAHLET/SC FAERCISE

the sreat stadium in Athens, erected on the site of that other stadium of olden days, now crum- bled to dust through the lapse of the centuries. And why was it possible in those ancient days for men to run so far and so fast? And women, tceo? Because of centuries of training. Pheidippides had been an athlete even before he was a soldier. He came from a family of athletes, undoubtedly, No doubt, his mother, as a girl, had been a run- ner, too. Of such people came the runner of the original Marathon, who gave his life to do the distance without pausing for a rest. No doubt, too, the Marathon hero had ta*en part in the sacred Olympic games, or else he never could have made the distance after fighting all day in battle. Every few years, according as the moon, which marked the Greek midsummer, drew to its full, a pilgrimage of all that was best and vigorous in Hellas—ancient Greece—ended at the little plain of Olvmpia, in Elis, the small state on the west- ern coast of the Peloponesus, a flat space with natural barriers of mountains and rivér, some At Pikerm!, tne Frencnman, Lemursiaux, was leading, followed by the Australian, Flack; Blake, the American; the Hungarian, Kelneso; and then the Greek runners, the first of whom was Lau- rentis. On the road the inhabitants of the villages gave the runners hearty encouragement, offering them refreshments and wine. Some who dropped out because of fatigue were taken in by the pa- triotic Greeks, who rejoiced that men had come from all over the world to take part in the great Marathon race, which had been first run more than twenty-three centuries before. In’ passing Pikermi, Loues, a Greek from Maroussi, took a glass of wine and asked in- formation about those ahead of him. He learned that Blake, the American, had stopped. At Karvati, Lemursiaux was still leading and Flack was second. The peasants had prepared a crown to be placed on the head of the leader there—it went to the Frenchman and was placed on his head. Next came the climb up the long hill—the hill that Pheidippides had run up so many centuries minutes later, and The Hungarian, was second, nearly eight Belokas,; an Athenian, was third. Kelneso, was fourth. Louis’ time was a record for this reason:’ No record had been kept of Pheidippides’ time when he ran with his message from Marathon, and in 1896 the first test was really made of men und time. Ten years later there was another Marathon at the Olympic games at Athens, wita 53 entries. But this time the first Greek to fin- ish was fifth. W. J. Sherring, a Canadian, won. As he en- tered the stacium he was met by Prince George, who ran with him the entire length of the stadi- um. Almost all the 80,000 people within tue stadium were Greek sympathizers, but they took their cue from the sportsmanlike conduct of their Prince and cheered Sherring heartily. Queen Olga sent Sherring a bouquet and he was showered with roses as he went through the marble arch leading to the dressing rooms. Svanberg, a Swede, was second, and Frank, an American, was third. But, best of all, Sherring clipped nearly seven minutes from the record. His time was 2h, Sim. 23 3-5s. The second man beat the time of the winner of 10 years before. | And now let some of those people who run Marathons in this country over sawdust tracks or around baseball fields realize the difference. The real Marathon course is on the high road from Marathon to Athens and is steep and willy until within two miles of Athens. It ig the hardest course for the distance which athletes ever have essayed. Then came the great London Marathon of last vear, which littl Johnny Hayes of New York © managed to win, after Dorando, the great Ital- ian runner, collapsed 440 yards from the finish. The race was started on the east lawn of Windsor Castle and finished at .the stadium in Shepherd's Bush, London. Hayes made the regulation die- tance in 2h. 55m. and 18 2-5s. Since then we have had nothing but Marathons in this country of ours, which really covers quite a few more acres than Greece. At the rolo Grounds, New York, St. Yves, the Frenchman, laid down a new record of 2h. 40m. 50 2-5s, beat- ing such veteran Marathon men as Dorando. Hayes, Shrubb, Maloney and Longboat. men who finished all beat the original Marathon record, but they ran on a turf track and not up hill and down dale. It was no such coursé as poor Pheidippides had to run. And now comes the question: | Who is fit to run a Marathon? | The first answer is: No person under 18 years of age, and really he ought to be older than that. Few realize the strain on the heart. The boy who tackles a Marathon today will feel its ill-effects 20 years from now in his heart action. There must be a strict training, plenty of good food, plenty of sleep, no intoxicants and careful atten- tion to details. Luck never won a Marathon— any trainer will tell the novice that axiom. Read what the doctors and the athletes say: “Sometimes the aortic valve gives way,” said Dr. James Gwathmay of the Polyclinic Hospitai, New York City, “or else the heart becomes en- larged. But it must be remembered that all ath- letes have enlarged hearts, the result of the ex- ceptional work they have to do. This is not un- usual. Do not all the other muscles increase in size as the result of exercise, and are we not glad to see them do so?” And this from Paul Pilgrim, one of the world’s greatest middle-distance runners, an Olympic first place winner: ; “I know of many men who have had to giv up athletics and exercise,” he says, “because < a heart weakened by too much athletics. Lier Sam Thomas of the Seventh Regiment, New York had to forego athletics because of a heart warn ing. Three years ago he held sprint, pole vaull and broad jump records. Elmer Finlay, the New York Athletic Club hurdler, has been ordered te ¢ break training by his physicians: Only a littl while ago he held records galore. . “German physicians were making a study of the effects of a competition on the heart af the last set of Olympic games at Athens. Bee fore and after every race they placed tissue pape? over my chest and traced my heart on the paper.” “Hypertrophy of the heart,” said Dr. Arthur L. Derchfield of New York, captain of the New York University track team and a middle-distance run- ner, “is the result of a continued excessive over- indulgence in athletics. It seems to me tat the warning should be timely. ~ “Boys in the high school, college men, athletic club members, alternately train and race to the limit of their endurance for the period of a fewir months. Then they lay off and perhaps dissi- pate for the remainder of the year. The effect is a general enlargement of the heart or a gen- eral weakening of the system. a “In these strains, at first, the walls of the heart, especially of the left ventricle, become en- larged, and finally, if work is not stopped in time, the organ fails to do its work and ultimate- ly collapses.” And that is what the Marathon does. Pheidip- pides died for something worth while. But thou- sands of half-grown lads, striving to win a Mara- thon—all physicians agree—are in danger of killing or crippling themselves for no reason at all, except for a cup and a little one-day glory.

No man can properly be accused of being fat until he begins to abut so far over the building line that you can’t see his founda- tions without stooping down and peering under. “I don’t know why a healthy man who takes good care of hims.lf and has nothing on his mind except a few nice extra layers of tissue shouldn't be allowed to plump out a trifle and fill up the dimples in his frame without having somebody forever advising him to take exercise. Stout peo- ple are best behaved, anyhow, especially in warm weather. You never heard of a man with a double chin leading a double life.” “Well, I notice every time you cross one of your laigs you have to hold it on to keep your stom- ach from shovin’ it off again,” said the candid House Detective. “W’y don’t you try horseback ridin’?” “Don’t tempt me,” said the Hotel Clerk, “pray don’t tempt me, Just when a man reaches the size where he fills a hansom cab comfortably, if they leave the door open, he quits riding in one and hires a horse. You can see them any morn- ing on the bridle path—agonized male parties that go bobbing up and down, mile after mile, vainly imagining that they’re really riding Eng- lish style, which, I take it, was invented by a nervous man who hated the thought of staying long in one place. And the rest of the day the victim is as stiff as a hat rack and sore as a mashed thumb. he walks with a gait like a pair of callipers and every time he passes a harness store he flinches involuntarily. Yet day by day he’ll go out and offer himself up as a burnt sacri- fice on the altar of a raw-boned horse, with a sharp spinal column running down the middle of the altar. He has a vain delusion that if he keeps it up long enough it'll give him a figure .&8 willowy and sylph-like as a yard of baby rib- , and you can't make him believe any dif- ferent. “I've got a friend that’s been indulging in this form of punishment all spring.

No, but I think he’s taken off considerable skin,” said the Hotel Clerk. “I notice that he uses more care in sitting down than he used to.

He's quit calling on one of his friends who hasn’t any chairs in his parlor except those hard-fin- ished mission kind, without cushions. He cer- tainly is the Mattress Kid. And he seems some- how to have lost most of the love he once had for man’s noblest dumb friend.” ‘“Meanin’ the hoss?” said the House Detective. “Certainly,” said the Hotel Clerk. ‘“‘When a horse gets seared at a scrap of paper and runs eight miles across country and lands in the front window of an all-night drug store, it seems to me he’s about the dad blamdest, dumbest friend we've got in the whole animal kingdom, dumber than a caterpillar and twice as dumb as a guinea pig. But this friend of mine sticks to it, because he has an idea that he’s reducing. He alternates between the stable and the bridle path, the armchair wich the eider down pillow in the seat, and the scales where he weighs himself. The only trouble with him seems to be that riding gives him such an ap- petite that he eats twice as much as he formerly did and he’s putting on layers from the inside faster than he can wear ‘em Off on a saddle from the outside. “So I've decided, Larry, that the horseback thing is not for dearie me.

Horseback riding is all right for mounted cops, Cossacks and ladies in circuses. They're paid to do it. Otherwise, I bet you they'd walk. It's: all right as a business, but, personally, I wouldn’t class it among the pleasures, sports and pastimes.” “Maybe you're skeered of hosses,” insinuated the House Detective. “Not at all,” said the Hotel Clerk. “When we're each in our proper sphere, which is to say, when both of use are on the ground, [’m afraid of no horse alive. But when a horse begins to act up like a Coney Island roller coaster and do intricate scottisch steps with all four of his feet at once, there’s just two places in the world where I earnestly desire not to be.

So far as the apt and ready retort is concerned, I'm left practically at the mercy of the ribald chat- ter of the thoughtless populace.

It's hard to con- vince a woman that she’s taking on flesh, but when you do convince her there’s nothing to it. As long as the cook, the parlor maid and upstairs girl, by their united strength, can cou her into the last pair of corsets she bought, she’s perfectly satisfied that she’s not a mite heavier, even if the strings are drawn tight enough to play a guitar solo on and her head has the appear- ance of just bursting through a feather tick. But the sad day comes when they can’t jam her in, even with the breathing suspended, and then she realizes that she’s fleshing up a bit, just a trifle, and she goes on a very strict alet, this way: “She takes a Turkish bath for breakfast, a hardtack cracker and a sip of mineral water for lunch, and at dinner she orders everything on the menu except the date line and the proprietor’s name, not because she wants that much food, of course, but to give her the strength to go on with the treatment the next day. “Why can't people be satisfied with the way nature intended them to be? Thin ones get thin- ner trying to get fat, and fat ones swell up trying to make themselves thin.” “That's foolish talk,” said the House Detective. “Did you ever hear of anybody in this country that was perfectly satisfied with the way nature made him?” “One,” said the Hotel Clerk, “but he’s not ip this country at present, having gone to Africa.” o a, en re

Finally the grafter persuades the ‘armer to let him place one in his home. Having accomplished much, the rest is dead easy. He then sends the farmer's name to the firm as a prospective customer, with the un- derstanding that if his financial rating is satisfactory, one of their $500 pianos is to be delivered on trial at his home, after which, he, the agent, is to be notified. After doing this, he returns to the farmer’s home and closes » deal by asking the latter to sign the follow- ing article of agreement, whica he reads carefully, and, without dating it, passes it to the victim and says: “Now, read this carefully to see tpat it’s all right, |} ore you sign it.” The following is a copy of this agreement: $500.

Then, just before his year is up, or a week or two before the first note he has taken falls due, he resigns his position. much to the firm’s regret, and after securing all the commis- sions which may be due him, he goes to a new territory, secures a _ posi- tion with a different piano house, and begins his operations all over again, leaving the firm and his dupes to settle matters the best they can. THIS IS THE ART GRAFT, One of the latest to crop up is known as the “art graft.” It is not only extremely clever, but is one of the most remunerative grafts that has so far been devised for the fleec- ing of unwary victims. The grafter usually picks out per- sons of considerable wealth and pre- fere those who have only recently attained riches and place in the ranks of “high society.” In short, the class of newly rich who are called “parvenues” by their more afistio- cratic and blue-blooded neighbors. The “art grafter,” being a person of unusual discernment and shrewd- hess, knows perfectly well that this class of wealthy people, though not “to the manner born” themselves, are extremely sensitive on the subject, and are very anxious to have their neighbors and rich friends think that they have always been used to lux- ury and refined surroundings. Therefore, as all really aristocratic and cultured people are more or less devoted to art, in one way or anoth- er, and generally possess a coliec- of tion of rare old masterpieces, the grafter kows that the newly rich are eager to be known as “patrons of art,” and are usually desirous of at- taining a ealleation of good paintings F a? Ss . e ‘

to decorate cne wails of their draw- ing rooms. The grafter is always a@ man who has been well educated in his youth, probably a graduate of one of the big universities, and he can generally speak French. and sometimes Italian or Spanish as well. Of course, if he is versed in the languages, this is a great “boost,” and helps him to cre- ate a favorable impression on his Victims. Needless to say, he always dresses in the height of fashion and his man- ners and deportment are irreproach- able. He goes over to Europe and scours all the principal cities of Eng- land, France, Italy, Spain and (‘rer- many for paintings and buys up al! the copies of old masterpieces he can find, as well 23 hundreds of lesser works w .ich have been “shelved” by dealers as unsalable. GRAFTER IS EDUCATED. The grafter secures these pictures at very smal cost, as the art deai- ers are only too glad to get rid of of them. After gathering together as many as he desires, he returns to America and proceeds to victimize the class of persons already described. The way the “art grafter" wor his game is about as follows: He first makes out a list of the persons in the city where he is operating who he considers would be apt to “fall” for the scheme. After this list has been compiled he sends his “ad- vance agent” around to call upon some of the people and “size them up” to find out if possible whether it would be worth while to attempt to swindle them.

BURNING GAS WELL tn OXLAHOMA HILE St. Louisans are muttering ever. month over the ‘size of gas Dills at $1.10 per thousand cubic feet, enough gas to supply half the city with light and fuel is daily going to waste at a well near Shreveport, La., which has been burning for two years. Ap- palled by such waste and unable to extinguish the conflagration, the local authorities have now appealed to the United States Government to. Mts eo —_ | = . “cap” the well.

It is the same principle, on a gigantic scale, on which our grandfathers used to extinguish a candle with a miniature cap. The burning well in the Caddo field is of ime- mense proportions. Its crater is no less than 3wv feet in diameter, and from it gas pours by the billions of feet and catches fire with a terrifie roar. It began blazing in November, 1906, and burned without cessation until recently, the daily loss appalling spectators, who went from many parts of the country to see it.

Periodically, rolling waves of the subterranean sea, impelled by the collected force of the imprisoned gas, boil up and overflow the orifice, in such volume that levees have had to be constructed about the well to prevent the devastation of the surrounding land by the eruptions. Bursting free from its mud blanket, the gas bounds upwards with a roar and burns in full fury for 10 days. But during that time the mud sea ebbs back again into the crater, gathers re- inforcements below and is at length able to choke down the gas. Thus the cycle of the struggle be- tween gas and its prison of mud goes on contin- ually, with the forces of one victorious now and of the other tnen. : The Government experts, if they undertaae the task of subduing the gas, will enlist its mud enemy as their ally. They would be powerless at KER FLOM i a time when the burning well is raging in full. Ce : triumph. Even in its diminished states, the tas« of capping the jet will be most difficult, and pro- visions will have to be made for the orderly — escape of the gas, to prevent it from bursting the Sat hee Bs Nghe & ee .
