FURIOUS WOMEN “SHOOT SOLDIERS OF SPAIN'S KING Veritable Amazons Fight by Men’s Sides in Streets of Barcelona. CONVENTS ARE SACKED ee “Down With the Church!” Is Cry of Frenzied Rebels in Catalonia. ad LEADER IS ON OCEAN Alejandro Leroux, Fugitive, Returning From Brazil to Head Workmen. By Associated Press. CERBERBA, Franco-Spanish Frontier, July 30.—Reports received here from the disaffected portion of Spain show the terrible fury of the women through- out Catalonia. At Barcelona the wom- en fought behind the barricades with the men, urging them to resist King Alfon- go's troops to the death. Everywhere the women _ resisted searches by soldiers for recruits for the reserves, barring the doors of houses and firing at the soldiers from win- dows. At Casa de la Salva the sepulation surrounded and disarmed the civil guard and locked up the officials in the barracks. Not only at Barcelona, but throughout Catalonia, church property was the spe- cial object of the popular fury. Convents Sacked and Burned, Horrible stories are recounted of the merciless fashion in which the churches and convents were sacked and burned by mobs of women and men. The inmates of the institutions were driven into the felds, to cries of “Down with the Church!” At Granollera, 16 miles from Barce- joha, two convents were burned. At Amer the Carmelite convent was looted and burned. The sisters narrow- ly escaped with their lives. Order has been re-established at _.Figueras. The rioters are being arrest- @@. in large batches and led off to prison, Nevertheless many revolution- aries have escaped and are making their way to the frontier. The Madrid authorities fear the ar- rival of Alejandro Leroux in Spain. He is on his way from Brazil to place him- self at the head of the revolution. He holds the workmen’s organization in the holiow of his hand. While a member of the Spanish Cortes in 1908, Leroux broke with the party be- cause it joined with the Catalonian Sol- idarists, who included the Carlists. The «latter he opposed on the ground that they stood for the maintenance of a ' Monarchist and clerical regime. \ Last year, after publishing a series of bitter articles against the Government, he was condemned to two years’ impris- @nment, but fled to Brazil. ‘Despite his condemnation of the re- Publicans, he was re®elected to Parlia- ment at the last election, and is now on his way home to assume leadership. ‘The Government has issued an order _ that he be arrested immediately on land- = ing on Spanish soil. | Government Rallies, diaper.

NECESSITIES PUT DOWN, LUXURIES UP,IN PAYNE BILL Hides Free, Lumber Lower, Silks Higher, in Bill Report- ed to House.

TAFT WINS HIS FIGHT Head of Conference Commit- tee Declares Revision Has Been Downward. GLOVES NOT INCREASED Paper Rates Almost Cut in Two—Commission’s Du- ties Are Narrowéd. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, July 30.—When Ma- jority Leader Payne, head of the House ecnferees on the tariff bill which bears his name, rose in the House today to present the report of the Conference Committee of the two houses on the bill, the measure had been in conference for just three weeks. Contending that the bill marks a gen- rates of duty, Mr. Payne presented an exhaustive analysis of its provisions He undertock to show tha? there had been a merked decrease in the rates on the necessaries of life, while showing that there had been an increase cn some of the luxuries. Probably the most marked reductions throughout any schedule in the bill, asa result of the action of the two houses and of the Conference Committee. are found in the metal schedule. Beginning with a decrease in the rate of iron ore from 40 to 15 cents a ton, there is a gcuneral reduction throughout that portion of the bill, pig iron going down from }4 to $2.50 a ton, and scrap iron from $4 to $1. « Rail Duty Cut in Two. The reduction on many. of the items in this schedule amounts to about 5”) per cent and this reduction’ rails. ‘There is an increase on struc- tural steel ready for use, and a slight inerease on razors, nippers and pliers, and on such new metals as tungsten Rough lumber goes down from $2 to Nes a-thousand feet, with a correspond- ing reduction in the differential on dressed lumber. The $1.25 rate was in- sisted on by President Taft @ne wool scheduie underwent no change of corsequence, but the entire cotton schedule was reconstructed and the phraseology greatly changed in the hope of preventing reductions through decisions by the courts, such as have- characterized the administration of the Dingley law during latter years. Cetton Hosiery Higher. In many instances the rates intended to be imposed by the Dingley law were cut by these decisions, the reductions in gome instances being from 60 per cent to 8 per cent ad valorem. It is esti- mated that the rates fixed by the new bill are about 3 per cent higher upon an average than those collected on cot- tons last year. The rates on cotton hosiery are generally increased. In the much contested matter of the rate on gloves, the high protectionists failed to score. They sought, through an increase made by the House, to raise the duty materially above the Dingley figures, but were antagonized by the Senate, and the Senate won, the only change made in the entire schedule being one slight reduction. The silk schedule was reconstructed with a view of imposing specific rather than ad valorem duties, with the re- sult that the average duty will be some- what higher under the new law than under the present statute. Hemp Higher, Linen Lower. Oli cloths and linoleum are heavily cut, but otherwise the changes in the uuix, hemp and jute provisions were not material. A slightly increased duty is provided for hemp, both crude and hackled, and also on certain high-gade laces. On linen yarns and mattings there is a reduction. Sugar and tobacco duties remain sub- stantially as under the Dingley law. The free importation of considerable quantities of both of these articles from the Philippine Islands is permitted, and a material change was made in the in- ternal revenue law by an amendment taking the tax off of the sale of tobacco in the hand. There is a uniform increase on spirits, wines and liquors of 15 per cent. In the agricultural schedules hops are increased from 12 to 16 cents a pound and there is also an increase on lemons, figs, almonds and pineapples. Fancy Soap Increased. Common window glass of the lower sizes, in which the imports are heavy, is reduced, and where changes were made in the chemical schedules there was a general decrease, except upon such arti- cles as fancy soaps and perfumes, which were increased. The publishers won their fight fo lower wood pulp and print paper, the rate on ordinary newspaper print paper being fixed at $3.75 a ton, instead of $6 as under the Dingley law, and on the higher grades of print paper at $3.78, instead of $% Mechanically § ground wood pulp is to come in free of duty, instead of paying one-twelfth of a cent

Morschauser stepped to Thaw's side and whispered a minute. “All right, all right,” said Thaw, testily. Back again to Dr. Hamilton, Thaw’s bete noir, came Jerome. He had on ‘his fighting face and meant business. He went at Thaw hammer and tongs. Then he suddenly jumped to Judge Morschauser’s opinion. “Don’t you think Judge Morschauser was right when he auijudged you in- sane?’ “No Danger of Recurrence.” “Judge Morschauser does not think me insane now,” replied Thaw. “What do you mean when you say you were legally, not medically, insane, when you killed White?’ . “Mr. Jerome,” said Thaw, “I agree with the best medical opinions that there is no danger of a securrence if I go free.”’ “That’s not an answer to the ques- tion,’’ said Justice Mills. The question was read ower again. ‘That is my best opinion, yes.” “What is the basis of your belief?’ “T base it on the opinion of others.” “Did you have a defective reason when you killed White?” “I think so—yes.”’ “What do you mean by a defective mind?’ “You'll have to ask the alienists; I am a layman.” $4000 for Drinks. “Well, what did the allenists think?’ “They thought I was medically insane, some of them, but it was a false pre- mise.

Who is Edith Thomest What did Hart- ridxe take Mra.

Justice Mills €aid he thought the ques- tion proper in. determining Thaw’s state of mind. He asked Thaw himself if he thought himself guilty or innocent. “Judge Dowling set me free.’ “But what do you think about itt” inquired Jerome. “Under the law of the State of New York I was tnmocent. I was insane when I did it.” “Now about Ruth Lambert? knew her in Paris?’ “TIT do not know her. her recently.” Then a mysterious affidavit was men- tioned for the first time. a “Did you know Lucas?’ “T heard of him.” ‘“‘Where?’’ ‘In that blackmalling affidavit I saw ten days ago.” Dentes Hot Water Episode. “You never knew Ruth Lambertf” “Well, I may have met her.

Thaw said he thought it was an exaggerated rumor. “What about Josiah Thaw telling Dr. Hamilton that you drove a horse to death ?"’ “I think Dr. up.”’ “Do mot you knew that you were often referred to as ‘Mad Harry’ aud ‘Crasy Thawt'” “Ne more often than yeu are called ‘OCrasy Jerome.’ ” “Well, what was the idea of all this stuff to make you appear crasy?”’ “I suppose they thought they were helping me out, making a defense for me. “What about giving crystals off a chandelier to people in Pittsburg streets?’ é “That is a ie, too.

Thaw looked eagerly at the paper Je- rome handed him. The District Attor- ney sharply told him to hand it back. “Did you not say that to see a woman whipped delighted yout” de- manded Jerome. “No, I mever did,” replied Thaw, in- dignantly. ‘Ever see that. paper before?” “No, I never did.” The paper was said to be the com- plaint in the Thomas suit. Jerome got no chance to go further, for Justice Mills sustained Morschauser’s objec- tions. Jerome then flashed out a paper in which Thaw said “the subornation of perjury resulted in the death of my poor valet, Bedford.” Thaw went on to explain that he meant that Bedford had been dragged down to Jerome's office by detectives when he was ill and that his death re- sulted. , “Nellie Lee, a maid cf my mothers’, wanted to go on the stand and shake her finger in your face as Bedford's murderer,’’ Thaw told Jerome. Harried His Wife, Thaw read from the papers: ‘Here's another compliment to you,” he said, “I find I accuse you of harry- ing my wife with your cross-examina- tion.’’ “Bat,” sald Jerome, father change his Is she

Through his attorney, Thaw author- ized the statement that any divorce action brought by his wife would be fought. to the last ditch. “When we read ef Mrs. Thaw’s al- leged intention, it was a surprise to me,” said Mr. Morschauser. “Mrs. Thaw has a good income and has no ground, so far as I can see, on which to base a complaint.

Then I felt as though new life ; been given me, and I am recommending it to all my friends.”—Mrs. W. 8. FORD, 1938 Landsdowne St., Baltimore, Md. The most successful remedy in this country for the cure of all forms of female complaints is Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. It has stood the test of years and today is more widely and successfully used than any other female remedy. It has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, backache, headache, flatulency, indigestion, hot flashes and nervous prostration, after all other means had failed. If you are suffering from any of these ailments, don’t give up hope until you have given L E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial.

Hides of cattle come in free and ther? i# @ corresponding reduction on leather and leather goods. The House rates are practically retained on sole leather, leather for uppers, boots, shoes and har- ness, but the free-hide provision is besed on the condition that on and after Cet. 1, 1908, sole leather from the hides that are to be admitted free will pay a duty of 5 per cent; grain, buff, and split leather, 7% per cent; boots and Shoes, the upper leather of which is made from such hides, 10 per cent, and harness and saddlery, 20 per cent. Shoe Duties Reduced. This schedule of rates will result in a reduction of 16 per cent on boots: and shoes, 20 per cent on harness and sad- dlery, 15 per cent on sole leather and 1% per cent on leather for uppers, if trade of the hides that are put on ile free list by the provision. Bituminous coal is reduced from 6&7 centg a ton to 45 cents, and there Is also & reduction on gunpowder, matches and cartridges. Agricultural implements go off from 2% per cent ad valorem to 16 per cent and the older works of art are placed upon the free list. Petroleum, which received much at- tention in both houses, slips through without any duty, countervailing or otherwise, and most of its products come in under the same terms. The administrative features of the bill were much changed in conference. The commission of experts provided by the Senate was retained in name, but its duties are restricted to investigating discriminations against the United States by other countries for the benefit of the President in administering the maximum and minimum rate provision, and of government officers in adminis- tering the customs laws. The Senate's maximum and minimum provision was retained in the main. It provides an increased duty amounting to 2% per cent ad valorem on goods brought into the United States from countries discriminating against this country. The drawback provision of th. Dingley law was restored, with a slight addition controlling the use of al- cohol in articles for export. The customs court was retained, and its headquarters fixed in Washington. The principal difficulty In the way of a clearly detailed comparison between the present or so-called Dingley law, and the new bill, lies in the fact that, in most of the more important and sharply contested provisions and schedules, a radical rearrangement of classification and a shifting from specific to ad val- orem duties leaves few common terms for comparison.

WASHINGTON, July 80.—Mr. Payne's statement in presenting the tariff bill today comprised an analysis of the bill, showing both the increases and the de- creases, but this detailed presentation was preceded by a general summary in which he undertook to show the extent of revenue increases and decreases ac- cording to schedules. According to this showing the total in- creases were on importations valued at $852,512,525, and the total decreases on importations amounting to $4,978,122,1%. In this preliminary statement Mr. Payne said that he had had made an iIn- vestigation based on the census returns of 190, showing the amount of domes- tic consumption of articles upon which duties have been raised, and also the ar- ticles upon which duties have been low- ered by the bill as finally reported from the conference committee. This had been done because comparisons have been made based upon the amount of importations, he sald. Prohibittve Rates Lowered. ‘“‘Duties,’’ he sald, “have been lowered where they were too high under the present law, sometimes prohibitive in character, and for that reason the im- portations were comparatively small. On the other hand, they have been raised in some instances where the tariff was insufficient for protection and the im- portations were very great.” He then gave the following tabie which shows the consumption value of articles on which rates of duty have been increased and decreased in all cases where the amount of production could be ascertained: Earthenware ......

LED ADVENTUROUS LIFE Raised by Missouri Farmer as Grace Anna Richardson and Left Home at 12. By aoonet Wire From the New York ureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 30.—The goog-look- ing young woman who is charged with passing bad checks, and who hopes to be acquitted as she has récompensed the losers, has been identified. She gave her name as Grace Maidhof, acknowledging that it was assumed. She is Grace Anna Richardson, who sued H, A. Vrooman of St. Louis for breach of promise several years ago. The woman has been a “‘mystery’’ largely because of the stories set afloat that she was the daughter of an admiral, as well as because of the speed with which “a Wall street millionaire’ hastened to redeem the bogus checks. The ‘Wall fonaire’’ was not the usual clerk, but J. Henry Freese, of little note, though a Har- duate. en her picture was printed other victims set up a howl, and a warrant for the young woman’s second arrest was issued at the request of Richard Wigger. Detectives discovered her in a flat at 315 West 113th street, where she has been living for four months as the wife of H. 8S. Whitney, once a process server in the employ of Abe Hummel, and until Wednesday a stenographer employed by the law firm of Blandy, Mooney & Shipman, 41 Well street. Makes n Confession. Freese was present in court ready to defend his client, when the defendant asked Magistrate Steinert if he would allow her to make a confession to him in his chambers. Freese protested ve- hemently. The lawyer and the woman then indulged in a heated conversation. Returning to the witness. stand, Mrs. Maidhof declared Freese had given her the first bogus check she had ever cashed, and that she had seen him write it in his office. She said he had also given her the check Wigger cashed, but she did not know who made it out. Freese was then arrested and released on his own recogaizance. “I guess it’s all up ‘with me,” said Freese later.. “I never signed a bad check, however, in all my life The first time I ever saw the Maidhof wom- an followed very shortly my meeting with young Whitney, who first came "tc my office last January. He wore a Harvard pin and said he was a Harvard graduate. He explained he had been a process server for Hummel and if I would split with him he could bring me a great deal of business. He intro- G@uced Mrs. Maidhof, who said she had a common-law marriage with Lewis J. Maidhof, with whom she lived in Cali- fornia in 1902.

Mrs. Maidhof was born in St. Francis, Ark., 33 years ago. As Grace Anna Richardson she was reared in the fam- ily of a respectable farmer until at the age of 12 she was lured away from her home by an uncle. After living several years with her uncle as_ his wife. the young girl, still in her teens, brought suit against H. A. Vrooman, a business man, with offices in the Century Building, St. Mr. Vrooman denounced the suit as at- tempted. blackmail and the girl's case was thrown out of court. As Grace Whitney she met young Maidhof in San Francisco in 1902. A representative of Blandy, Mooney & Shipmen reported to police headquar- ters today that six blank checks on the Fifth Avenue Bank had been stolen from ‘the firm’s” checkbook. All the checks passed by Mrs. Maidhof and now in the possession of the police, are on the Fifth Avenue Bank. SKIN RASH RELIEVED, Soothing Liquid X-Zalia Heals the Flesh.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., July 30.—Stacy Bray, member of a wealthy St. Louis family, has stopped payment on checks given to cover a loss of $6500 on the roulette wheel of the Silver Club, a notorious gambling house, pending an investigation of whether the wheel where Bray ‘“‘dropped’”’ the money is “on the square.’’ The investigation was Started but came to a standstill Wednesday night, when “Pat’’ O'Neill, proprietor of the Silver Club, stood on the stairs with a revolver in each hand and successfully defied ,the Sherif and his posse, Bray, who lives at 4380) Westminster place, is 20 years old and is here with his mother.

The situation is rendered all the more acute because of the feud between the Sheriff and the City Marshal as to whose duty it is to enforce the Court orders and wipe out gambling.

Bray declined to sign his name to an information against O’Neill, declaring that he would incriminate himself by doing so. ° Y a Last Saturday w J SS RCO Nl RRSP RECON re Ne WWOOES BID AGAINST GIRLS FOR FEMININE TRAPPINGS AT AUCTION OF SMUGGLED GOODS | ‘Indignant Stenographers Wonder What Jurists Wanted With Dainty Parisian Articles. Special to the Post-Dispatch. TRENTON, N.

The things had been seized by cus- toms men at Hoboken. They were valued by the Goverrment appraisers at $3000. Advertising and other expenses incidental to their sale at auction cost 3900. They brought $8090. Pretty stenographers by the dozen at- tended the sale, and many State offi- cilals were present, for the auction was held in the old State Capitol. The giris thought they were going to have things all their own way, but when the grave and dignified judges began to bid on the corsets, slumber robes and chemisettes, they were at once declared “just hor- rid.’’ The judges seemed a trifle con. fused when they were made the target of angry glances from so many bright eyes, and finally they backed out of the room and left thé girls in sole posses- sion.

EXPERTS TO “CHECK IN” No Machine, It Is Thought, Will Escape Without Some Penalty. By Associated Press, SALINA, Kan., July 30.—On the last leg of their 2636.8-mile journey, the Glidden tourists left Salina this morn- ing at 6:30 o’clock for Kansas City. It is hoped to reach Kansas City by 5 o'clock this afternoon. The distance to Kansas City is 212.8 miles. The route of today’s run lay through a part of Kansas that had experienced heavy rains of late and the roads were in bad condition. Penalties were al- most certain. Yesterday’s run did not take away any of the clean scores. Five cars in the contest for the Glid- den. trophy and an equal number in the Hower trophy class yet have per- fect scores. The two Pierce-Arrows, the two Premiers and a Marmon are perfect in the Glidden trophy class. Two Pierces, a Chalmers-Detroit, a Moline and the Lexington are still per- fect in the Hower trophy class. Yesterday's penalizations were award- ed to cars that already had lost points. No. 53, Premier, incurred a penalty for repairing a spring. The amount will be announced in Kansas City. The White Steamer, No. 14, was penalized 4 points for wiring a mud guard. The Jewell, No. 111, lost 2.6 points for re- pairing a gasoline pipe. The Glide, No. 10, which broke a front axle Wednes- day, was officially penalized 247 points last night.

This yerr’s run for the G.dden trophy was the first outside of tle Eastern States. It was 2636.8, or 1000 miles longer than any former Glidden run and over roads of true country type all the way. From Detroit, Kalamazoo, Chicago, Madison, La Crosse, Minneapolis, Man- kato and Fort Dodge, the tourists jour- neyed westward through Nebraska and Colorado to Denver and thence East through Colorado and Kansas to Kan- sas City. Most of the penalties were incurred froin Council Bluffs westward. The roads along this route were in mis- erable condition. Between Kearney, Neb., the first stop west of Council Bluffs and Julesburg, C9:0, the seco1.d stop, perhaps the very wors: rodds of the tour, were encouncered. For haif of the 206 2 miles between Kearney and Julesburg, sand Was constantly causing trouble, and it was necessuar,” to pilot anumber of cars through. Touching Denver, Oakley and Salina, there was a marked improvement, but between Sa- lina and Kansas City where recent rains had caus¢d much mud, more trouble was experienced. on Reach Kansas City Today. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 30.—Kansas City was officially today in the hands of the Glidden tourists. Amid the honk- ing of 500 cars that assembled late this afternoon at the Kansas State line, Mayor Thomas T. Crittenden will meet the incoming tourists. The Gliddenites will officially end their tour by ‘“‘check-~- ing in’’ at the Coates House. The Kansas City Automobile Club, the Commercial Club and other organiza- tions have provided an extensive pro- gram of entertainment. Tonight they will be guests of the automobile club at a number of receptions and enter- tainments, and tomorrow at Elm Ridge racetrack the automobile club will pro- vide a special motor car meet. It will bé several days before the win- ner of the run is known. The cars will be taken to Convention Hall tonight, where they will be held until the tech- nical committee, composed of Henry Souther of the Association of Licensed } Automobile Manufacturers; Joseph Tra- cey, mechanical engineer and well- known racing driver, and C. 8S. Ricker have completed its examination. Every part of each car will be taken out and examined. Measurements will be made for spring and frames sagging and the result of the examination will then be compared with the measurements at the start of the tour and the winner made known. Chairman Hower stated that while there were still five perfect score cars competing for the Glidden trophy, and five for the Hower, he believed every car on the tour would be given some Penalties at the last test. Wherever the examiners find the cars to be out of order the ‘drivers and mechanics will be instructed to make all repairs necessary to put the machines in first- class running condition and penalties will be levied according to the material] and labor used.

NEW YORK, July 30.—Louis Bleriot. | the first man in history to fly over the English Channel in a self-propelled ve- hicle, today cabled his representative in New York that he would send over one of his monoplanes to enter the Post- Dispatch-New York World $10,000 Ful- ton flight airship contest. M. Bleriot informed his agent that he did not think he would be able to come to America with the machine, on ac- count of the multiplicity of affairs de- manding his attention, but that he would provide an operator if he cannot find someone in America to drive ths aeroplane. Ralph Saulnier, Bleriot’s representa- tive in America, cabled the aviator par- ticulars concerning the contest last Monday. Bleriot did not arrive in Par- is until yesterday, and apparently im- mediately made up his mind to enter one of his machines in the Fulton flight. The message did not state when the machine would be shipped, but said it would be one of the latest models. known as the No. 12. This machine :s capable of carrying two persons. It is 27 feet wide from tip to tip and has a total surface area of 2 square yards. [It is equipped with a 30-horsepower Anzani motor and carries a weight of 11,100 pounds, including passengers.

ATHLETES TURN OUT IN FORCE FOR ATHLETIC GAMES TO BE HELD TODAY AT NORMANDY

SARDINALS IN SAME CASE AS CUBS OF 1903 ~~

a Chicago Was Nursed Into Champion- _ ship Form in Three Years; Cardi- nals May Follow Suit.

BY J AMES CRUSINBERRY. INNING one game and tying one in the series of four played against the Cubs is a creditable record for the Cardinals. Roger Bresnahan had to meet the world’s champions with a crippled team and he himself % was too ill to take any active part. The "was the gameness of the Cardinals that After all, it seems that great pitchers early make a great ball club. The Cubs we unbeatable with Reulbach and Mor- ec Mrown doing the pitching. They Would have been with Overall, but he ad a bad day and his wildness allowed » game to be tiled up. With Higgin- stham,-the St. Louis cast-off twirler, r the Cubs, they were beaten down by the Cardinals. e vr Chance’s great machine looks '}as strong as ever. But he must have he of his good pitchers in the box or “ doesn’t run smoothly. When Hig- finbotham was there, the machine dalked. As soon as Brown or Reul- th took the pivotal position, every- thing worked in harmony. pubtedly disturbed it, but gradually nee is drilling a man—in Archer—who Archer has the physical power to as much as Kling, now. His one hle is that he attempts too ‘much. Hie throws as well as Kling, but he throws too often. = @ This machine was started in 1903. At © @that time the Cubs had Tinker and 4 Mvers on the infield with Chance, but weak at third, having Jimmy Ca- ey there. In the outfield, they had Ingle, Davey Jones and Jack Mce- ¥ as rthy. Johnny Kling was the catcher* me best pitcher was Jack Taylor. The next year they acquired Schulte,

Cubs appeared in their best form. It won one game and tied another. Hofman and Brown of the present reg- ulars, and made a good showing in the National League race in both 1904 and 1905. Before the start of 1906 Frank Chance was made manager of the team, and that was the year Charley Murphy broke in as a magnate. Chance got Steinfeldt and Sheckard, then produced Reulbach, Overall and Pfiester as pitch- ers, and the great machine was fin- ished. It has stood intact, with the exception of a change in the outfield and the retirement of Catcher Kling. It looks good to win another pennant, though Pittsburg will have to slow up a bit or the Chicago boys will never catch up. The Cardinals are at present just where the Cubs were in 1903. There’s the nucleus for a championship team here. Roger Bresnahan has been placed at thé helm in full authority. He may succeed faster than Chicago did. It may take him three years, also, to fin- ish his machine. By that time the pres- ent strong teams—Chicago, Pittsburg and New York—will have begun to slow up, unless they make many changes and keep introducing young blood to take the place of the veterans as they step out. The spirit of the Cardinals is splen- did. The style of game they are play- ing is new and up to date. It is the kind that is winning games and the kind all teams will have to adopt. ‘The Car- dinals play daring baseball. Bresnahan teaches that style of play. He picks men with speed, who can execute that style, and he intends to build up his ideal team along those lines.

Brown Strong in Tight Places ; and Cardinals Lose the Final

* HOUGH Mordecai Brown did not seem at his best, still he was able to beat the Cardinals in the final es. Brown was hit safely 10 iia mat when hits meant business he would allow them. Once he struck out Wo men in succession when a base hit ould have put the Cardinals in a po- '? @ition to have won the game. Brown “= undoubtedly was going easy and sav- e “tne himself for several times, he drew a bn his reserve power and it was al- " # Ways there at his command. The score the game was 6 to 3 and the result r in doubt. i Beebe sitched for the Cardinals had a very bad opening. Had he * @sca pec trouble in the first inning, oe might have given the Cubs a battle. ut the first man up drew a base on and the next man, in trying to nt, ‘popped a low fly over Byrne's ‘for a single as Bob ran in to field we % : “4 S85 i yy at. With a man on first and one/ - pecond and no ene out, Beebe de- fided to play for a force out at third 3 pasible. Schulte bunted to Beebe, 4 though he had to hurry the onlay, he shot to Byrne. The throw was wide got away from Byrne and let one ‘un in. That put Beebe in a bad po- s and before he could get out three @ had crossed over, due mostly to # @-base hit by Hofman. | hitting and baserunning by ink Chance and a bad throw by Del>- " yy helped the Cubs to a couple more ion tig the third inning, and that to put the game away on safe : They soored another run ) seventh, but never seemed to ex- Oa themselves much after the third. h @ hot weather and the safe lead over ph ume tearm permitted them to taku mes easy.

Boston the bean team won three out t of four. Boston is ~ much improved team since Harry Smith has taken command of it. Roger Bresnahan was out to the game Thursday again, but is still a very sick man. He will hardly be able to get into a uniform until the middle of next week and he may not play in a game for 10 days or more. Sallee and Lush are expected to defeat the Boston club. Bachman, who is credited with a victory over the Cubs, will pitch one game and Harmon will handle one, proving his arm gets bet- ter. He expected to pitch against the Cubs, but his arm got sore the first day the Cubs were here. DOUBLE UMPIRE SYSTEM FOR THE TROLLEY LEAGUE “Big Bill’ Erman and “Tim Hurst” Dailey have been selected to act as um- pires for the Old Trolley League game between the Hyde Parks and Gillespie Blues of Gillespie, Ill., to be played-at Kulage Park Sunday afternoon. The contest will be the first game in the his- tory of the league where the double umpire system has been used. The Hyde Parks are at present lead- ing the league. The Gillespie team is third, but only three games behind the Hyde Parks. It is certain, therefore, that the game will be a hotly contested one, and it was thought best to secure two umpires to avoid dispute. Erman has been umpiring in the league all season and giving satisfac- tion, while Dailey, until he became ill, and was forced to return to St. Louis, was officiating in the Michigan League. Previously he has been an umpire tn an Eastern league, from which he resigned.

MANAGER WILL TAKE HIS TEAM UP IN A BALLOON Baseball teams, and, in fact, whole baseball clubs, sometimes ‘‘go up in the air,’’ but it remained for the' manager of a local club to make good the state- ment that baseball players will some- time or another in their career make ascensions. Frank Yawitz, who has a local ama- ‘teur ball club that plays on Saturdays and Sundays, has purchased a balloon. It is not a balloon of the type that can try for the Lahm Cup, but at the same time it is quite a balloon, and is capa- ble of taking up several persons for a short flight. The owner intends to try out the balloon on the members of his ball club before he invites his friends to take a sail. He expects to make his first trip in a few days.

a. _ JEFFRIES OPERATED ON, WHILE AWAITING JOHNSON NEW YORK, July 30.—James J. Jeffries, the heavyweight boxer, did not appear Thursday in the benefit for crippled children at the Polo Grounds, because he was operated on the preceding night for an abscess that had been adding to the worries of the former champion. “This abscess was a boil that had enlarged,’’ said Jeffries. ‘‘You know that even a boil on a strong man’s neck is often very troublesome.”’ 3 Jeffries was asked if the $10,000 side bet that he has insisted upon would prevent a championship fight with Johnson in the event of the colored boxer refusing to post a forfeit. “No,” said the Californian, “but do you not think it would be a better guarantee to.the public to have a wager made?’

“eo ww Close to Nature. Helen, who was visiting in the coun- try, wanted to pick some raspberries. ‘But I'm afraid they are not ripe yet,”’ protested her grandmother. “Oh, yes, they are, grandma,” said Helen; “the stopper come out just as easy!”’

From One Friend to Another. Mr. William Bailey, in care of Browns: EAR BILL-—Glad to see you won [) your annual victory. Keep up the good work. Let’s make it semi-annual, and show up the knock- ers. Good Joseph Flanner says that the Cardinals put the Giants out of the pennant running. That’s a close guess, Joe. It wasn’t exactly the Cardinals. It was Bresnahan, or the lack of him, that stopped New York this year. Now that James Jeffries has come out for battle, Jack Johnson is already arranging his line of retreat. Johnson says he knows it’s going to be impos- sible for him to accept the conditions Jeffries will exact. Yes, Jack, you knew that ever since you came to this country. Youngstown, O., the home village of James McAleer, has little mercy on its pride, James McAleer. The latest ru- mor sent out from there is that James will take chatge of Washington next year. If McAleer accepts the engage- ment he has more courage than judg- ment. If McAleer’s record were to stand or fall on the performance of the Browns during the past month, the fans would be hanging about the neck of sadly- abused James. Since June 27, and in- cluding July 25, according to Mr. Flan- ner’s statistics, the Browns have won 18 games and lost 12, a percentage of .600. If maintained from the start, the Browns would now be crowding the Ti- gers for first place. If maintained for the remainder of the season it will put the Browns at least in fifth place. All the bad arms and legs are being sent to Youngstown to be treated by ‘Bonesetter’’ Reese. Wonder if he couldn’t set a few bad heads we know of? Over at the Browns’ park they have a new name for errors by the right fleld- er. They call misplays “losing them in the sun.’”’ ee Down With the Hoodoo! «@ F the Browns can get away from | Boston with better than an even break, it wili be time to look for the long-expected rise of the Browns. Last place seems to have been a mag- net that has held the Browns close at hand all this year. But better than an even break on the present trip will put the club in the hunt for fifth place, While bad management is generally attributed as the cause of the Browns’ lowly position at present, might it not be better to put the blame on a little more tangible feature—bad pitching? In the matter of its boxmen the team has

this season been a decided disappoint- ment. Waddell, far from at his best, has been the only pitcher who put up anything like a consistent game in the: box. All of the rest have shown a flash—and a flash is the best they can do. Dinneen pitched in pennant form for three games and was driven from the box his first out afterwards, Pelity } has been running in and out, now mar- velous, now helpless. Graham and Pow- ell have eddied back and forth with the tide and no pitcher has been found that could stand out like a Frank Smith, or a Walsh of last year, to steady the club in its time of need. If bad management cost the Browns half a dozen games, bad pitching cost the team other defeats in which luck cut no figure. The Browns have 18 more games to play in the East, including three at Cleveland. If the pitchers have straightened out their kinks, the team will undoubtedly bring back a majority of victories. New York is no team to be fighting with clubs like those of the West. It ought not to stop the Browns. Philadelphia seemed the poorest sort of a club to be the runner-up in a cham- pionship race, on its showing here. Washington is hopeless and Cleveland is still disappointing its follows. If the Brown boxmen can do their part, the East will not stop McAleer’s men this time. Going Down. N fact, it begins to appear that the | East is slipping back to its real ef- ficiency. On the trip of the East- ern teams to the West the home section put it all over the East. Not an East- ern club won a majority of games, while Washington won but three out of 16 battles. Howell, Smith, Patterson and Schweit- zer are to be seen almost daily at the Cardinal park. Guess that isn’t an easy-money quartet, eh, what? ’ Warren Wood of Chicago, who was put out of the Western gold tourna- ment in the first round, surely has a strong casé against Dame Fortune. Wood won the qualifying medal in the Western tourney 36-hole round, with 146. After this brilliant effort he lost his first round of match play to a man whom he ought to outclass. To make the irony of the thing still more bit- ing, in the consolation round, Thurs- day, Wood made the 18 holes in 70, a record round for the course. Jimmy McAleer might read this and feel con- soled. Something remarkable—Williams stole second, Thursday, at Boston. The only heavyweight base stealer who has it on Jimmy is old Bill Schriver, who once stole second and third in a game at League Park.

Forline’s Work Will Be W atched in _Garnes Today

What will undoubtedly be the only outdoor athletic meet of any conse- quence in St. Louis this season is sched- uled to take place at Normandie Grove Friday afternoon under the auspices of the Missouri A. C. The meet will be a handicap affair and will be an attraction for the annual picnic of the M. A. C. Athletic stars of a couple of years ago who have prac- tically dropped out of the game have entered for the meet and are expected to compete. Culver Hastedt, Harry Kiener, W. Warner and numerous oth- ers who have medals to show for their victories on the cinder path will try to add to their collection Friday. The first event on the program is not scheduled to start until 4 p. m. Particular interest will be displayed | °% in the work of Carl Forline, the sprinter and scratch man for the 100 yards dash, and also in the work of Hans Wulff, scratch man for the shot put, as they are undoubtadly two of the local men who will be sent ‘co Seattle, Wash., for the National A.

BROWNS DEFEAT BUSTONS WITH KARGER IN BO} BOSTON, July 30. Double-header Friday. Griggs’ triple came w'th two strikes on him and was a beauty. Jones got in the luckiest of singles in the first. He also had two strikes on him and sent a slow bounder Lord had no chance to handle. There was talk of putting Eddie Kar- ger into commission, but Manager Lake thought better of it at the start of the game. He had to recant within 2 minutes. Eddie received the glad hand as he walked on the field. The Bostons went out in order in the first two innings, four of them on foul fly balls. There were eight flyouts the first four innings for the locals. McAleese made a bad break when he ran Stone off third, in the third inning, and he was lucky enough to get out of the mess without any trouble, for Stone made for the rubber the moment the ball was thrown to French, and beat the latter’s throw to the plate. Only great fielding by Speaker in the third prevented Jones’ drive being a triple or a home run. The belt was going some and took some tall going to overhaul it. Griggs dropped French’s fly in short field, in the third. It was by no means an easy chance. His wild shy in the sixth was something weird. There was no earthly excuse for it, as there was no chance to get his man. el The Browns had the advantage of the locals in getting here Wednesday night, while the Bostons did not get here until Thursday morning. Harry Lord is now captain of the Red Sox. He made a wonderful ‘play in the fourth when he pulled down got his man, Lou Criger' was lively as a cricket and played a great game, much to the satisfaction of his many friends pres- ent. There was plenty of rooting when Hooper of Boston registered the first hit of the locals in the fifth. But 12 men had gone to the bat up to that time. Umpire Tom Connolly was on the job behind the bat, and did excellent work. Tom lives in Natlick, close by Boston, and he hustles after each game to the three youngsters and the cozy home. With a run in, two on bases and none out, in,the fifth, French gave the Browns trouble, hitting foul after foul and finally forcing Wagner at third. It was a ticklish situation for Bailey, but he got out/of it all right, three men going out in order after three had hit safely. They are making matters very warm for the betting element here, and a delegation of plain clothes men are sent to each contest. Four arrests were made at the. National League Park re- cently. Catcher Carrigan was out for prac- tice before the game, but Manager Lake is not yet taking any chances with him. He may put him in one game of the double-header Friday. The flag in center was at half mast, in respect to the memory of Harry Pulliam. _—_—

‘Stone. Question Now: What and How Much Is a Gentleman’s Drink? Aa io A (nen me a

an seen ¢ ame omnes

Opinions (Not Necessarily Expert ) Vary, but} Most Agree It Depends on the Weather, One’s Thirst and Capacity. ©

HAT, ye what is a gentleman’s a Asa gentleman ought to take it? Shall he water his liquor or swallow it cker Than a high-bal!l glass would make it? STONE,*: who came to ENATOR S Missouri from Kentucky, has raised a delicate question. It ap- pertains to the size and the subsistency of a gentleman's drink. The Senator, explaining his arrest on a Pennsyl- vania Railroad train for slapping a negro waiter in a dining car, said among other things: “When the megro brought the whisky I ordered, it was a smalier al- lowance than a gentieman’s drink really ought to be.” The question is, as raised by the Senater from Missouri, shall the serv- er measure the quantity of liquor to be imbibed by the servee and also lim- ie the auantity of thinning fluid to go witb. it? What, tn fact, or how much, gentieman’s drink? Opteions, Not Expert, Vary As to a Gentleman’s Drink. EVERAL opinions, not necessarily expert, have been given by 6&t. Loufsans, but mene of them indi- cates any definite quantity of subsist- ency for the dram. ’ Former tudge Matthew G. Reynolds: It depends upon the gentleman and his condition and upon the state of the weather, and where the gentleman hap- pens to be. He may be out fishing or hunting. In that case it may be proper for a gentleman to increase the size of his drink. Water? Oh, you can always get water. Charies A. Stix: I'm strictly tem- perate. A gentleman ought to drink water—in the summer time. » Harry B. Hawes: Now, that’s an awkward question to spring on a man a day like this..A gentieman’s drink, I should say, ought to be what he wants. What he wants will indicate the size. TY don’t know what Senator Stone’s standard is as to quantity. My standard is simply what a gentleman wants. Water Is Not Merely to Bathe in, Says Wenneker. HARLES F. WENNEKER: I want a good deal of water with my drink. Water is not made merely to wash in. Senator Stone was - fight in demanding plenty of watrr, potwithstanding that he comes originally rom Kentucky, where they are supposed to take it straight. My opinion is that _@ gentleman should dilute his water with his liquor, rather than the other way. ’ Jeptha _D. Howe: I don’t drink all, so I can’t be expected to uch a yentleman ought to drink. I’m fond of water. that a gentleman's drink generous glass of seltzer— the summer time. In win- drink something warmer, if When I drink anything other soe I take beer. KR. Park Von Wedelstacdt: The old- er you get the more whisky you want te put i& your water. A small measure of water and a Jiberal measure of whis- ky, the latter increasing with the age of the party chiefly concerned, make a gentleman’s drink. G. Lacy Crawford: I should say a gentleman ought to drink his whisky straight and in wishes. All whisky, no water—or perhaps sometimes a very small chaser would not be improper. Bour- bon is the whisky to drink. Old-Time Gentleman Takes Whisky Straight. F°boxa JUDGE JESSE A. Me- is a DONALD: I think a _ gentle- oe man's drink is straight whisky° Experienced drinkers usually prefer it straight. The modern highball has, tO some extent, taken the place of the straight drink, but the old-time _ ®entleman takes it straight. _ Heary Lewis, Manager of the South- ern Hotel: The regular established drink is a jigger. Any bartender can tell you what a jigger is. N. B.—A jigger is a small measure for.whisky to be used in mixed drinks. There are several sizes of jiggers for different mixed drinks, but a jigger of Whisky, generally speaking, is about two ounces.

Epecial to the Post-Disvatch. CHICAGO, July 30.—Instead of being the heroine of an internationa] romance which culminated in the suicide of Baron Oskar de Rothschild, Miss Olga Menn of Chicago, her father now ad- rnits, was the victim of an adventurer named Wolf, who called himself ‘‘the Baron de Rothschild.”’ Not only did Miss Menn attend thea- ters, visit cafes and appear at social gatherings with Wolf, under the im- pression that he was a member of the famous continental banking family, but she went to Berlin, believing that a wedding there would make her Baron- ess de Rothschild. In corroboration of a statement by Dr. Menn, father of the duped girl, several persons who know Wolf. say that this man was in Chicago on July 5. Information from Europe is that Baron Rothschild was in Vienna on July 10. He killed himself on July 13. He could not have been in Chicago on July 6. Chicago society, and even many per- sons who were not in society, felt a sympathetic interest in Miss Menn’s blighted romance. They sorrowed with her in the tragic death ef the young nobleman, who, she and they believed, was to have made her a baroness. Sympathizers Smile. Miss Mena still-has sympathy, but its expression is mingled with a faint sug- gestion of an amused smile, when it is recalled just how pleased and delighted her family was at the prospects of se brilliant a match fer the young woman. Wolf was a suitor who wooed with all the ardor and dash of a young milord, even if he were just plain Wolf. He had ‘‘the grand manner,” he looked like a baron, he talked like a baron, to Miss Menn he certainly seemed to be a baron and an unusually charming one. He was much at the Menn home §na the family watched the budding ro- mance with’ unconcealed satisfaction. Miss Menn and “the Baron’’ appeared several times at fashionable social af- fairs at the exclusive Germania Club. Wolf was introduced there as “the Baren Oskar de Rothschild.”’ Registered as “Wolf.” It is learned now, however, that he was registered at downtown hotels as Wolf and not as baron, although clerks at the hostelries where he stopped say he had frequent teleplone messages in the name ef Baron Je Rothschild Dr. Menn cenfid to several friends that his daughter was about to make a match far more desirable and distin- guished than she might hope for even if, as a prima donna, she achieved the most splendid triumphs. Miss Menn, just before her departure for Berlin with her mother on July 4, told her friends that she was going abroad ‘‘on an affair very close to her heart.”’ Friends Krew of Plan. But despite the indefinite wording of these confidences there were few friends of the family who did not know what was in the mind of Dr. Menn and his daughter. They knew Miss Menn ex- pected to change her name to De Roths- child. Then came the intelligence from Ber- lin that the Baron Oskar de Rothschild had slain himself and tender-hearted friends of Miss Menn shed tears of sym- pathy for her. Yesterday Dr. Menn went to a pho- tographer and requested that plates on which Miss Menn and Wolf had been photographed be destroyed. Her companion in the picture, he explained, Was not a member of the famous bank- ing family, but a poseur who had de- ceived her. Therefore he wanted the pictures wiped out of existence. He followed this with a statement that his family never had known any of the Rothschilds. When pressed for an explanation, he said: Her Heart, Broken. “I had rather not speak of this man, whom we know now ag Wolf. My daughter was deceived. Her heart was broken. I have been convinced that we never entertained the Baron de Rothschild. And for this reason I gave out a statement to that’ effect.” Wolf, who created such a furore, not only won the heart of Miss Menn during his stay in Chicago. He also had a de- lightful social time. He went to many exclusive places. He met many exclu- sive people. He reveled in the fash- lonable life of Chicago and said to hotel clerks, with smug satisfaction beaming on his countenancé, that the society people were Meg ee him “royally.” olf Disappesrs. But he has. dleapgenees tite the void whence he came. He left Chicago on June 6 and none who knew him during his brief social career is aware of his present whereabouts.

A recent bulletin of the Department of Agriculture declares that the rat is the worst pest known to man, its depre- dations resulting in losses of hundreds of millions of dollars annually. But these losses of property are almost in- significant when compared to the loss of life occasioned by rodents. ~ Rats carry from seaport to seaport and from house to house the germs of the dread bubonic plague. Rat poison causes animals to die in houses, but there are various rat foods on the market which cost very little and are most effective. GAS SUFFOCATES MAN WHO GETS HIS OWN REAKFAST Asphyxiation of Nephi Moyle in Kitchen Believed to Have Been Accidental. Nephi Moyle, 50 years old, a retired real estate dealer, found dead in the kitchen of his home at 4048 Hartford street early Friday, is believed tp have been accidentally suffocated by gas. A burner 2n the range was open, but not lighted, and on the table was found a piece of beefsteak which was still warm.

THE RIGHTS OF THE CRIMINAL. From the 8t. Louis Mirror. Ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson is doing a@ great public service in his letters to the Post-Dispatch against the question under torture as practiced by the police. The issue is not local. The police of every big city torture prisoners to ex- tort information from them to be used against themselves or others. The po- lice say they do these things only to the professional criminal. The answer is not good. The police have®no right to abuse a man or woman who is a crim- inal. Even the criminal has rights. He cannot be deprived of life, liberty or property except by due, process of law. }He cannot be compelled to testify against himself. In England, when a policeman arrests a man, he warns the prisoner that anything he may say will be used against him. This ts supposed to be a freer country than England, yet, as soon as a man is arrebted here, he igs subjected to an inquisition under threats and often to the accompaniment of kicks and cuffs. The police have no authority to question under torture or otherwise. The only authority to ques- prisoner is tried. The police proceed upon a theery the exact opposite of that of the ,law. They believe every man guilty until he is proven innocent. They punish him without trial. They act as judge, jury and executioner. And they are the more ruthless the more helpless the person falling into their hands. Po- lice methods make criminals worse than they would naturally be. We read of city roughs who hate the law, and we think it just natural cussedness. We are wrong. Those men do not hate the law, They hate the police who abuse and maltreat them every time they are arrested. They are clubbed and drubbed on the street and in the calaboose. Their arms are twisted until they “talk’’ or they are denied food and drink. No one can speak with more authority on the subject than Gov. Johnson, who has been in the practice of crim- inal law fer fifty years. His tak- ing up the cause of the unfor- tunate and sinful against brutal author- ity, or, rather, ne authority, is char- acteristic of his noble and generous na- ture. We cannot approve the violation of anyone's rights without inviting the violation ef the rights of all. If we per- mit the police to abuse the known crim- inal prisoner, they will abuse every per- son who falls into their hands. If they are allowed to slug the “rats” of the siums they will proceed to give the third degree to a decent girl stenograph- er In the hope of compelling ‘her to tell the whereabouts of her absconding em- ployer. The police are not our masters, but our servants. They have no au- thority to do more with any man than hold him for a court to pass upon his guilt or innocence) They must be re- strained in their methods or their bru- tal custom may harden into something like law and we shall all be liable to arrest without Warrant and subjection to torture at the whim ef anyone who

On Sunday, August first, we will estab- lish our third fast train between Saint Louis, Dallas and Fort Worth. 3 Our new train will be known as “The Texan”; it will leave Saint Louis at 9:00 o’clock in the morning, reach Dallas 8:15 the next morning and Fort Worih at 10:00 o’clock; it will be a solid train to Fort Worth, carrying modern chair cars, new twelve-section drawing-room sleeping cars with observation cafe car service ali the way. This train is in addition to “The Metecr” out of Saint Louis at 2:35 P. M. and the “Texas Lim- ited” leaving Saint Louis at 8:20 P.M., making three fast trains daily between Saint-Louis and Texas.

If two letters breathing ardent love are upheld by the Louisiana courts as a valid will, Mrs. Nellie Free of 65933 Hall. She is suing at New Orleans with Clarke Hall of Thayer, Mo., a brother of the dead man, to obtain the estate, charging that these letters are forgeries. The letters purport to have been writ- ten by Carroll Hall to Mrs. Mary White, a widow, just before their marriage. He died five months after the marriage. Hall, a passenger conductor on the Texas & Pacific Railroad, had by thrift and judicious investment accumulated a bank at Thayer, $10,000 in a New Or- leans bank, and the remainder was in- vested in real estate. ‘“‘A railroad man’s life is always in danger,’’ one of the letters says, ‘‘so I want to tell you, Hun, that if I should die I want you to have everything I leave.”’ Mrs. White, the widow of a Missis- sippi planter, whose fortune had been lost through speculatien, went to New Orleans, with her five children, accord- ing to news telegrams to the Post-Dis- patch, and opened a boarding house in a fashionable quarter. She has two grown daughters, the oldest, Agnes, he- ing 21, She is described as having retained much of her youthful charm. Carroll Hall, a boarder at her home, fell in love with her. “The charge that those letters are forged is a malicious falsehood,” Mrs. Hall told a Post-Dispatch correspondent at New Orleans. “I will fight the suit, and prove they are genuine.’’ Mrs. Free declined to discuss the suit when seen by a reporter at her St. Louis home. of yellow paper, dated July 30, 1908, “to my intended wife, Mary A. White, for leve and affection and attentions to me in my sickness, to protect my future wife, in the event of my death giving her full control.’’ This instrument was found to be fa- tally defective as to form, and Mrs. Hall—the marriage took place Aug. 2, 1908—then filed the letters. The love letters follow: My Darling Mary: I was very sorry that you had to go to Rich- mond when I Was away. It was a long trip te take alone and under the circumstances. Do hope you found Agnes. I received your sweet letter this morning. It is useless to tell you how I miss you, and how I enjoyed reading it, but I don’t like the lec- ture. My own dear, I will never break my word to you. I promise yeu if you will be my wife I will never drink again or touch another drop of whisky as long as I live, and you don’t have to remind me how it would affect you. I know it nearly killed you when I was se bad off last winter. So, Hun, don’t worry. I love you too much to give you pain. Just think, In three weeks we will be married, and I will be the happiest man on earth. I am to go on a long run for one - or two trips. A railroad man’s life is always in danger so I want to tell you, Hun, if I should die I wart you to have everything I leave. Yeu know about my strong box in the Germania Bank—I took you there with me once. My password is Carroll. Also $20,000 and over is with my brother’s bank in Thayer, Mo. I want you to have every- thing I own, as you are dearer to me than everything in this world, and se secon to be my very own wife, Tell Lemley to let you bring Agnes back with you. She can have my big room. With best love. BURR. The second letter, dated July 8, 1908, reads: Hun: I failed to tell you I will see Will J. Morgan and Dr. Dabney and tell them we have decided net to buy a home until we return from the West. Now Mary, I am geing to give you as a wedding present $11,000.

Now, don’t think I am sick, but I do want you to know everything is with my best love always, I am yours, Cc. B. HALL.
