Charles P. Senter’s pedometer, walked not ‘tess than fifteen miles, up and down stairs, through subways and from one end of the Capital City “to the other, rounding up the celebrities into whose hands they thrust the beautifully bound - copies of the resolutions adopted at New Orleans, demanding 14 feet through the valley or the _ geats of the men who now sit entrenched behind the mahogany desks in Congress. At the dinner tables, in the lobbies, and in their rooms at night, the waterway bobdmers told stories and played pranks like boys. The appended stories and incidents were gathered by a Post- ‘Dispatch staff correspondent who was with the boomers in Washington: _ Saunders on How He Missed Bs -_ ~~ Being Millionaire by One Foot ILLIAM FLEWELLYN SAUNDERS, sec- retary of the Business Men’s League of re St. Loufgs andthe Lakes-to-the-Gulf | Deep Waterway Association, has a habit. It is _ “rubber necking.” Charles P. Senter, the guide, philosopher and skipper of the waterway boomers, _ is running Mr. Saunders a close second for “rub- -. “ber neck” honors. | While Mr. Saunders was “rubber necking” in "Washington the guide pointed out the $3,000,000 | home and $60,000 stable of Thomas F. Walsh, __ the Denver muitimillionaire. = ied Jove,” said Saunders to a companion, “do . you know I came in one of owning that house and cobal “How’s that?” inquired another rubber necker. _ “Well,” began the genial secretary, “I went out ' prospecting in Colorado years ago. I grubstaked four experienced miners. We were at the very - ppot where Walsh found the mine, and IF we had _ dug one foot deeper we would have struck the _ gold, and IF we had I would have been a million- aire and would have built that’”—— - But just then the megaphone man shouted that the house occupied by Nick and Alice was “just -& moment to the right,” and everybody, including - Saunders, “rubber necked” to see what was doing, ‘and the story of what might have been was never apntsnet. * «~ . Palater’ “ ea Became Tired As He Ate Fletcherized Meal ILLIAM K, KAVANAUGH, president of . the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association, is a devotee of Fietcher- ic. One of his traveling companions from St. Louis to Washington was William R. Painter of Carrollton, who missed being Licutenant-Gover- nor of Missouri by a few Yotes. Mr. Kavanaugh Mr. Painter are great friends, having once Srved as members of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum ‘Mr, Kavanaugh talked so much about Fletch- ism that Painter’s curiosity was aroused. He joght it was a new kind of religion, but final- got from Mr. Kavanaugh the information. that ‘was a system of eating calculated to prolong ihe human life anywhere from ten to twenty fears. Painter then got hungry for a Fietcher- .: dinner and offered to pay for one for four “Mr. Kavanaugh would order it in Washington md: show him how to eat it. ‘Mr. Kavanaugh accepted the proposition. He wdered the dinner, and laid down the rule—there _ Was but one, and it was simple. It was that every ‘moythful of food should be chewed 33 times. Painter then tried to “renig,” but Mr. Kavanaugh : al 1 not allow it. __ Fimally the near-Lieutenant-Governor tackled a 1 ee ne ee Mr, Kavanaugh in- “I like the way this Fletcherized food tastes,” said Painter, at the conclusion of the meal, I’ll be ‘John Browned’ if I like this business of counting 33 every time I eat a mouthful of food. It seems to me I’ve counted a million since I started eating according to Fletcher. Before I’ll eat another such dinner for Kavanaugh he’s got to buy a self-récording register to attach to my jaw to ring a bell every time I make the thirty- third stab at the mouthful of food.” Gov. Sanders’ Speech Made an Impression on Sherman HEN it comes to smooth-flowing language W and oratory that strikes home the young Governor of Louisiana “is there with the goods.” Gov. Sanders was selected to present the deep waterway resolutions to Vice-President Sherman. His speech was a gem. One could see great cargoes of freight going all the way from Utica, N. Y., where the Vice-President lives, to New Orleans, the home of the Governor, while he was making that speech. He pictured the United States as the greatest and grandest Republic on earth and described in beautiful language the high office of Vice-Presi- dent so ably and gracefully filled by Mr. Sherman. The Vice-President listened to it with rapt at- tention. He then made his own little speech in reply, and after he had finished he grasped the hand of the athletic young Governor of Louisiana. “Well, Governor,” he said, “that speech of yours was the be-t I have ever heard. I don’t know where you learned to make speeches, but take it from me you've certainly learned some- where.” Francis Had Not Time fer a Picture if He Was Not in It HH deep water patriots were leaving the T House of Representatives office building to make a charge on “Uncle Joe” Cannon. A bold photographer stopped them on the steps. He demanded the right to make an “exposure.” Gov. Hadley, Gov. Deneen, Gov. Sanders and Gov. Ansel were in the front ranks, all wearing high hats. A cold north wind was blowing and the photographer's fingers were numb so that it took time to get a focus and slip the big plate holder in place. Suddenly there was a great commotion in the rear. “We can’t stop heah,” shouted a voice. “We've got to see Speaker Cannon. We're be- hind time now. Oh, won’t you move along.” The owner of that voice was “Our Own Dave” —the most photograpbed man in Missouri. From where he stood he could not be seen in the picture. Col. John |. Martin Runs The Waterways Congress ?OU can’t lose Col. John I. Martin. Neither ean you keep Col. John I. out of the spot ‘light. St. Louis thought Col. pence had Col. ie I. away when there te anything St. Louis or elsewhere. EE he IRC abo i “but: Louis needed more water. He locked his chickens up in their coops, left his crops growing in the fields and hurried to Washington. There he took charge of the deep water affairs. He ran the Rivers’and Harbors Congress, much as he ran the Democratic conventions that have béen nominat- ing William Jennings Bryan for President-these many years. The hour had come for President Taft to ad- dress this great gathering, composed of 4000 busi- ness men, who, at their own expense, had gone to Washington to get deep water. They were in pretty deep water—that is they were so far from shore they did not know whether they could swim out. Up the aisle of the convention hall on the tenth floor of the, New Willard Hotel came President Taft, preceded by the omnipresent Archibald Butt. “Big Bill” smiled broadly as the shouts rent the air. The Cincinnati crowd made a lot of noise. Suddenly out of the din a mighty voice was heard. A stout man with a rotund stomach en- closed within a white vest, his long curly hair floating on the breeze that was let into the hall to blow the smoke away, was seen advancing toward the front of the platform with arms ex- tended high. It was a tense and dramatic mo- ment, for nobody knew what was about to happen. Like a flash one of the hands dropped out of sight, and came up clutching a big broad-brimmed hat. “Three cheers for the President of the United States,” shouted the short, stout man. “Hip, hip, hooray!” Three such resounding cheers were never be- fore heard in Washington. And the short, stout man with the white vest and gray locks, was our own Col. John I. Martin, who is always there with “three cheers,” brass buttons, blue uniforms, etc., where there is anything doing. And the Colonel’s cheers for President Taft were just as enthusiastic as those he has been emitting for “Billy” Bryan for 20 years. Cooley Explains How Current of Mississippi Can Be Curbed YMAN BE. COOLBY, the Chicago engineer who : presented the Lakes-to-the-Gulf deep water- way proposition to the Rivers and Har- that it was “an affirmative report by a negative board” has already become famous. “The Mississippi River, between St. Louis and Cairo,” Mr. Cooley told the Congressional Com- @ittee, “is like a boy. It has three times as much energy as it requires to propel itself. Take two-thirds of the energy out of a boy and he will go to Stinday school and mind his ma. So with the Mississippi River. Take two-thirds of its en- ergy out and it will keep in its channel and miad Uncle Sam.” —_——-—- “Uncle Joe,” Angered at Story of Dime Gift, Adds Three Cents 6% [J NCLE JOE” CANNON was not thinking about deep water when the committee called. He was worrying about giving that dime to the Saturday~and Sunday Hospital fund in St. Louis—not so much because he gave it as because it was found out. David R. Francis was selected to deliver the New Orleans resolutions to “Uncle Joe.” Francis is president of the Saturday and Sunday Hospital Association that has “Uncle Joe’s” dime. The moment “Uncle Joe” grasped “Our Dave's” hand there was an explosion of dashes and exclamation points. ($e n=! 1!’ said Uncle Joe, “who in the —— —- ——!! ! —— —— —— said I gave 10 cents to the hospital fund in St. Louis?

They came at first in pairs, then in fours. There seemed to be an endless chain of humanity flowing down the stairs. “T didn’t know so many people lived in Ohio,” remarked one of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf boomers, facetiously. “How does the Ohio River get into this thing, anyhow? By the way, where is and what is the Ohio River. Could it be navigated with a skiff?” “T’ll bet it couldn't,” remarked another, big Bill was in the skiff.” The Lakes-to-the-Gulf boomers are convinced that any scheme of river improvement carried through while Taft is President will have to in- clude the Ohio River. The. Lakes-to-the-Gulf people started the agitation for deep water; they have paid the bills; they have touched off the fireworks; they have created the sentiment, and just as they were ready to reap the harvest the President stepped in with a suggestion to improve the Ohio River front. He has dwelt on that idea in all of his speeches. He has made it an issue, much to the displeasure of some who want to see their project at least started” if not com- pleted, before taking up the little rivers and streams. ¥ a Hagerman Tells How Priest Lost Importance in New York RANK HAGERMAN, the Standard Oil law- F yer of Kansas City, who was in Washington with the deep-water boomers, had consid- erable fun telling a stofy at the expense or rormer Judge Henry 8. Priest of St. Louis. He said Judge Priest, when he went to New York, “lorded it” over all the other Western lawyers. | At the Waldorf-Astoria, Mr. Hagerman said, Judge Priest was not satisfied with less than threé or four high-priced rooms, and that when he went to the restaurants he ordered the most expensive things on the bill of fare. About this time the Judge thought he needed a trip to Eu- rope for his health. | He decided to travel on one of the finest French steamships. Morton Jourdan, who was in New York atthe time, suggested to Judge Priest he could save some money by going direct to the steamship office and buying his ticket, instead of purchasing it from brokers at 34 Broadway. The Judge would not listen to the suggestion. He said he was known at the broker’ 8 office and could get bed-rock prices. Mr. Hagerman said Judge Priest walked into the brokers’ office, with his thumbs in the arm- holes of his vest, and stated he wanted a ticket on a certain boat sailing at a certain time, add- ing: ° “Tt am Mr. Priest of St. Louis. “Yes, Mr. Priest,” said the clerk at the counter. “Will you have first or second class passage?” -_ -—-— Chicago Jealous of St. Louis and Threatens to Quit Playing HICAGO is jealous of St. Louis again.

‘a

BY RIPLEY PD. SAUNDERS. HEN sweet Eleanor Robson and “The Dawn of a Tomorrow” bade a this-season farewell to St. Louis at the Garrick last night it was with an established record of spiritual upliftment that vastly comforts the @uls of those who stubbornly maintain that the stage of today is a potent It's a curious play, this of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, with some- ng of the spirit of Dickens’ “‘Christmas Carol’’ in it, also a suggestion “The Messenger From Mars,” and notable for the same absolute sim- — #£ city and sincerity that characterize the earlier story .and the earlier 2 Play. It preaches a sermon, precisely as they do, its preachment is as old “ote *he hills, precisely as was theirs, yet, just as in their case, it is a sermon i feo often forgotten that always it seems new in its revived preachment. S e id such a needful! sermon, too—that of our duty to our fellows, particularly ae ree poor—O, the pity of it that it is so easily forgotten! "| %@ Human selfishness born of many centuries of fierce strife for individual vantage accounts for this forgetting, of course, but I do believe in the coming ef a day when the note of Self will not be so insistently ed as now. The glowing-hearted popular reception of such plays as Dawn of a Tomorrow” helps me to this belief.

& OMING to us just as we’were all beginning to feel the Christmas spirit blithely awaking in our bosoms, this Wetle play of good cheer and helpful- ness riaturally Mmtensified that spirit. Nevertheless, this glad Christmas-time for the vast majority of us is not 80 hppy a period for .player-foik. In the first place, it'finds most of them far , Se m home and lonely in the midst of the general joy of fellowship and good Hil one to another. In the second place, the week immediately preceding Phristmas is the dullest and least profitable of the entire playhouse season, SO Wiruch so that many companies are put on half pay, and more than one house is dark’ during that time, its offering being withdrawn until after the Christmas lidays. This means something of deprivation to the rank and file of the player- ee but a “Merry Christmas,” indeed. r For which reason I never send out my own glad: hail to the Yuletide ‘ithout something of a pang of pity fer the players mingling with my hap- iness. The footlights are a sorry substitute for the home lights at such a *: e, . est is NFAILINGLY hearing from New York City this Christmas cry of empty

playhouses, as unfailingly I marvel that our American metropolis doesn’t follow the example of London and make an annual feature of big Christ- Yhas pantomime spectacles. ~ Of course, save in the case of permanent: stock houses, it couldn’t con- Meniently be done in other American cities where only touring companies are playing, but New York might easily introduce this English playhouse custom. "The idea seems to have occurred to the Shuberts—I note that they are pre- ring to produce a recent London success in this line, “Dick Whittington,” 28 bm I’m not sure that it will be put on in due time to combat the week- ¢ ice a. -Christmas “hoodoo” this season Yet that’s just the very time for such production, which would then become a part of the season’s merrymaking, fonstituting an almost irresistible appeal to the Christmas-celebrating multi- ues. I'd like to see the experiment tried, anyway. And just think what Barrie could do for Maude Adams in the way of a “Axtrasiont Christmas drama with a blend of Charles Dickens in it!

“4 _WN the meantime, failing of Christmas pantomime after the manner of the ‘# Enelish, we get one of their melodramas instead—that is, Chicago gets ‘* it in the shape of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's thriller, “The Fires of Fate.” # And Chicago ikes it, too, which is doubtless vastly pleasing to the enter- ne Mr. Charlies Frohman, who produces plays on both sides of the “Atlantic with a ‘succesful straddie that should set the Colossus of Rhodes wild with envy. I told you the story of this play at the time of its » London production—how its plot hinges on the incident of an English Colonel’s ping cured of an otherwise fatal malady by the necessary shock of a blow n the head from a Dervish’s rifle-butt in the Egyptian desert. The play S some gripping situations, also a lot of excellent comedy, and it went with ne spirit in Chicago last ‘Monday evening, The play seems sure of a long Chicago run, but I hope we’ll get to see it in Louis before tue season’s close.

N THE same night that this was being done in Chicago, the resourceful David Belasco presented in Washington his new play, ‘‘The Lily,’ adapt- " ed from the French of Pierre Wolff and Gaston Leroux, with Nance O'Neil as its star, and scored a brilliant success. « . Save for its one beautiful phase picturing the deep love possible between wo sisters, the elder unloved and withered, the younger loved to her own un- . “The Lily” telis rather an unpleasant story. Its climax is reached hen the father, bent upon casting out from home the daughter who has ; os rched the family’s good name, is confronted by the elder sister with an ; “fmpassioned appeal for the younger’s forgiveness, and the play closes with “an act of splendid renunciation for love's sake, the wronged girl giving up her _ JPWeetheart in order that he may accept, untainted by scandal, a national honor ferred upon him as @ great artist, Nance O'Neil played the role of te, the elder sister, and is said to have given a compelling revelation of otional power. She's a baffling stage problem, this Nance O’Neil. Some predict for her a distinguished future. Others declare that she comes perilously near merely a “scenery-chewing”’’ melodramatic ranter. Now, under selasco’s ipbullding management, she surely has the chance of he life to justify the ner prediction an’ confound the latter estimate. —s

ITH London and Paris thus contributing representative successes to the American stage, London playgocrs themselves were edified this past week by a first presentation of “‘The Biue Bird,”’ the curious Maeter- drama, concerning which there has been so much discussion in advance “of .preduction. - It’s a fairy play, sald to be exquistiely poetic in thought and utterance, vm as was the case when Charles Frohman was preparing to produce ‘Peter oF an” in New York. City, the gravest doubt was expressed of its favorable re- Peption by a present-day public. The lovely little play, daringly taking its adience to such a fantastic region ag ‘‘The Land of the Unborn” in one of its | cenes, and otherwise whimsically set ayart from the ordinary run of plays, ‘# Mould meet direful shipwreck in the grossly material ‘‘three-hours’ traffic” of tk e theater of our times, it was dolefully declared. Nevertheless, this identf- scene, as also that other where the trees of the forest are shown making cause with the animals in a revolt against the universal enemy, Man, ny Successful, and the play as a whole seemed to be very much liked "Thus we behold the achievement of “Peter Pan’’ finely repeated. Maybe playgoers of today aren't so hopelessly unpoetic and lacking in ideals as ime pessimistic souls would have us believe. “‘The Blue Bird” and “Peter n” alike seem to point this moral.

oN Paris, too, they've been having some rather memorable playhouse de- fs velopments. Chief among these was the appearance of the indomitable 7 Sarah Bernhardt in “Le Proces de Jeanne d’Arc,” a new play in which “Emile Moreau, who collaborated with Sardou in writing. “Madame Sans- ‘ ne,” presents the Maid of Orleans in something of a new and more human in nt, > But it is not so. much this fact of a flesh-and-blood Joan, nor the fur- ther fact that Bishop Cauchon is pictured as hoping for Joan’s ultimate p@scape from her persecutors because it had been predicted that whatever she met in this world would be his in the next, that interests us as does ethe marvelous report of Bernhardt’s youthfulness as Joan. “Your age?’ eke the prelate sitting i. judgment upon the Maid. “Nineteen,” she re- fes—“and what is more,” writes the astonished Paris correspondent of the ndon Telegraph, “the reply seemed quite plausible.” Wonderful woman wonderful art, thus, at 66, to make 19 seem quite Plaugible—surely the er who sincerely loves his task firds the only fountain of youth! a How shrewd, too, is the French playwright. Joan is burned at the stake a the last act—and the audience just “almost” sees it. The foot of the - *yetake is visible, and a portion of its summit. The Maid mounts it and dis- ‘Bo ete, joa rs in the wings. The executioner applies the torch, the flames biase . +t , . one feels that they are feeding upon Joan's flesh—and that is all.

N OUR own home stag’ this week we. are to have rather a piquant con- trast in the Olympic presentation of cute Billie Burke as its Star, and . the Garrick offering of the emotional Mme. Nagimova, whom we saw jast yon in a repertoire to which Ibsen was the chief contributor. of this ese stars tion for her In that a gay butter- her ———AND NAZIMOVA, GARRICK— — nox =. es, 4 — y we AES ES ange oa. ee <5 —

BURKE? \

qT seen in St. Louis since that time, two years ago, when she divided honors with John Drew in “My Wife,” and thus won her deserved promotion to the ranks of American stars, comes to ‘Love Watches,” her big New York suc- cess of last season. “Love Watches” is adapted from the French of MM. De Fiors and De Cail- lavet, who wrote “My Wife,’ and have also given John Drew his present suc- cess, “Inconstant George,”’ and it is her- alded as a sparkling comedy, giving Miss Burke the fullest opportunity for a revelation of her fascinating talents. In this piquant offering she plays the role of - little French girl, fresh from a convent, who falls desperately in love with her cousin, proposes to him with the utmost frankness, marries him—and learns that he has been ene of the most flirtatious of young rascals. Frightfully jealous, sho tries to do a little flirting on her own account, by way of revenge, and the consequent complications, re- sulting upon her audacious coquetries, constitute the point of the play, which may not be fully made known here with- out spoiling one’s enjoyment at the per- formance of the comedy itself. It is enough, to know that the heroine and her husband, far from. drifting apart, fall more madly in love with one another than before. The role of the heroine suits Miss Burke perfectly, and she is supported by an excellent company, including Ju- lian L’Estrange as the young husband, Ernest Lawford as the bookworm with whom the young wife tries to flirt, Kate Meek as a cynical old Marquise, who keeps her rosary in her powder box and confines her reading to “The Lives of the Saints’ and the ‘‘Tales’’ of Voltaire, Maude Odell as a flirtatious widow, and Stanley Dark as a middle-aged roue. Madame Nazimova, the greatly emo- tional actress, who made such a pro- found impression on St. Louis playgoers last season, returns now to the Garrick in a new play, ‘‘The Passion Flower,” by Brandon Tynan, which is said to give her the greatest success of her career, the engagement opening tomor- row evening. In this powerful drama Nazimeva in- terprets the character of Vivian Rod- man, the young and utterly unreliable wife of John Rodman, president of the People’s Bank, and the play's story con- cerns itself with the complications caused by Vivian's becoming hopelessly involyed in debt. By secretly borrow- ing from George Willis Blackmar, a supposed friend of her husband’s, she places herself in Blackmar’s power and is persecuted by his attentions. Learn- ee ee et oe ee

[| ALLA NAZIMOVA || ME, ALLA NAZIMOVA, who ap- Mi pears at the Garrick this week, was born in Yalta, a town of Rus- sian Crimea, her father being a wealthy and distinguished subject ofjthe Czar. Reared in Switzerland, she studied the violin in her girlhood days and became a virtuoso of genuine distinction. When the natural trend of her talents turned her toward the stage, her am- bitions in. this direction were at first bitterly opposed by her father. UlIti- mately, however, he was induced to give his consent, and she studied dra- matic art in Moscow. Her first American appearance was as a member of a Russian company, but she scored a triumph so brilliant that she was urged to make herself profi- cient in the English tongue and essay a career on the English-speaking stage. Following this advice, she achieved an instantaneous New York success, since which time, several years ago, she has been one of the commanding figures of the American stage. Nazimova’s range of character is mar- velous, extending from the rough-voiced Hilda Wangel in “The Master Builder’’ to the child-wife Nora Helmer in “A Doll’s House;"’ from the gtormily pas- sionate heroine in “The Comet” to the frivolously gay “Comtesse Coquette.”’

from Highland, Ill., where it gave a most successful performance of ‘‘Hoe- here Toechter.” The fame of Director Welb’s artists is spreading. “The Man From Home,” regarded as one of the strongest bookings of the season, comes to the Garrick for the week beginning next Sunday evening. William Hodge will appear in the star role of Daniel Voorhees Pike, which he created, supported by the original company. Klaw & Erlanger’s production of Ed- mund Day’s Western drama, “The Round-Up,” begins a week's engage- ment at the Olympic next Sunday even- ing. It created a memorably favorable impression last season, and its return engagement is expected to be a big suc- cess. St, Louis music-lovers have discovered a new “Christmas gift” of uncommon acceptability to their friends of similar tastes. It’s a season ticket to the Beethoven Cycle of six Wednesday even- ing performances by tne Symphony Orchestra, beginning Jan. 5, this de- lightful gift meaning to its recipient

Great New Stars of ¢ os With Boston C S01 HE somewhat novel experience, for , whe a: St. Louis, of an. opera app ment in midwinter, when ths so- 71 cial and musical seasons are at their] height, is assured by the coming of the} Boston Opera Company to the Olympic fs for a week of eight performances, be- ginning Jan. 24, under Henry Russell's management. This great Boston organization is now practically combined with the Metro- politan Opera Company of New York, and distinguished artists from both bodies will appear during the St. Louis engagement, Among the stars to be heard are the famous Russian colora- tura soprano, Lipkowska, an instanta- neous suecess of this season in New York, whose great role is in the French | opera, “‘Lakme;” Carl Joern, the new Wagnerian tenor of the Metropolitan company; Frances Alda, the lyric so- prano; Bonci, the great Italian tenor, a a

ths enjoyment of a series of concerts of the loveliest character, devoted to the works of the great master of symphonic expression. The season subscription sale for the Beethoven Cycle opened at Boll- mann’s last Monday morning and is still in progress. The demand for seats is strong, and a@ most encouraging feature is that many néw subscribers, not hith- erto known on the symphony lists, have been gained by the Cycle’s appeal. “The Girls From Rector’s” is booked ft for a week at the Century, beginning next Sunday evening. It will be pre- sented by the original New York com- pany. In certain other cities where it was presented this play has been pro- nounced a coarse and offensive offering of distinctly objectionable character. Mr. E. M. Newman, who visited Bast Africa shortly after the Roosevelt hunt- ing expedition, following its route and catching up with the former President's party at Nairobi, obtaining many photo-j} graphs and motion pictures, the firati”™* ever taken out of East Africa, is an-t™ nounced for a series of five “Travel Talks” at the Odeon, beginning Jan. &. His full set of subjects includes British East Africa (Roosevelt’s hunting ground); Uganda (Darkest Africa); Vic- toria Falls and the Zambesi River, and Zululand (the Garden of South Africa).

ALDTEUFEL’S “Pomone” waltz, which is. one of the program ‘numbers of this afternoon’s pop- ular concert by the Symphony Orchestra et the Odeon, is characterized by the occasionally charming and noble melo- dies, the piquant rhythm and the. bril- lant bits of orchestration typical of its composer’s work in this field. Like so many natives of Strassberg, Waldteufel had a German ‘name, but French blood, and ‘most of his life was spent in Paris, where he had a great vogue and was at one time named pianist to the Empress Eugenie. About ten years ago he was reported to be still living in Paris, an obscure old man, unnoticed by the new gencration. “The attractive prcgram arranged by Conductor Zach for this afternoon’s con- eert is as follows: Oriental March .......- idhthaabeded »..Zach Overture—Merry Wives of Windsor— Nicolal ‘Melody in gece AE AIOE Brey Rubinstein —_—_——————

Blood Poison can never be cured with mer- cury or potash. You might as well know this first as last. Medical authorities say so. The most these drugs can do is to drive the blood poison back into the system and smother it for several years. Then when you think you are cured, pitiful mercury symp- toms will break out, and you find that your boges have been rotting all the while. Your te@th will begin to loosen and your tissues, glands, brain and vital organs will show the terrible destructive power of the “mercury and potash. Locomotor Ataxia. Paralysis, Imbecility and Premature Death are then alm>st tnevitab®. Any medical authority will corroborate these statements. The re- markable vegetabie Obbac Treatment does not drive in the Blood Poison _but crives it out, It positively contafns no “mineral potsons whatever, so that once cured by the Obbsc Treatment you wvever run the terrible risk of bhaving your bones soften, your nerves collapse, your teeth fall out, your kidneys degenerate or your brain weak- en. The Obbac Treatment is a marvel, pro- ducing remarkable changes in only 80 days. This is why we offer to any blood poison yictim living, no matter how bad a case, a 30-Day Treatment FREE You want to be cured and cured quick—not ’ poisoned with mercury and potash for years. A 30-Day Treatment is yours for the vagy You will open your eyes at what it will do for you in a month. We treat you free for a month. Just write to us and get the treatment free. Then if you are satisfied it is the most remarkable treatment you ever took, you can continue if you wish. Never ‘in your life will you ever again have such an portunity for a complete cure, as is Great Obbac Treatment This is a square deal. You sign nothing, no notes, make us no promises, except to take the treatment. The wonderful Wasserman Test, the only blood poison test known to scientists, proves that the body is completely purified by the Obbac Treatment, and that mercury and potash do not cure blood poison. Sit down and write to us, giving a full history of your case in detail. We will treat your letter a sacred confidence. Consultation and ad- Ace free.

Baliet Music from Faust ........ Two Melodies for String Orchestra— Rhapsody .. Waltz—Pomone .. The program numbers to be presented at the Concerts by the Symphony Or- chestra at the Odeon on Friday even- ing, Dec. 17, and Saturday afternoon, Dec. 18, with Mme. Fannie Bloomfield- Zeisler, the famous plianiste, as the so- loist, are of rare distinction. Mme Zeisler herself will be heard in the great Moskowski “Concerto in E Major, Op. 59,"" which lends itself with splendid: effectiveness to her congenial interpretaticn. This composition is one of Moskowski’s most brilliant works, and is a favorite alike with musical virtuosi and the general ‘public. Its playing by such an artist as Mme. Bloomfield-Zeisler constitutes an im- portant musical event, The number with which the program opens, the overture to Berlioz’s “‘King Lear,’ gains additional interest because of the fact that this will be its first St. Louts presentation by the Symphony Orchestra. It is also notable as being Berlioz’s first work on a Shakspearian theme; and is powerfully dramatic in its fidelity to the tragic story upon which it is founded. The program’s second number, the Jan Sibelius ‘“‘Symphony No. 1 in E Minor,’ also now to be performed for the first time in St. Louis, is of exceptional val- ue as introducing this famous young Finnish composer to the local music- loving public. It voices with the keen- est sympathy the temperamental melan- choly that characterizes the folk-songs of Sibelius’ native land, and contains many passages of loveliness. The closing number, Emmanuel Cha- brier’s ‘“‘Espana’’ rhapsody, has been heard before by a symphony audience, and greatly liked. It was the founda- tion of Chabrier’s reputation, and is a picturesque work, full of Spanish at- mosphere and possessing a melodic ap- peal. ‘ The program at the Second Presbyte- rian Church for Sunday, Dec. 12, will be as follows: MORNING. Anthem—O, Sing Unto the Lord.Max Vogrich Tenor Solo—Gloria Buzzi-Peccia EVENING. Anthem—God Is Our Refuge ........ Morrison Soprano Solo. Anthem—God Is a Spirit Bennett The choir consists of William M. Jenkins, organist and director; Miss Virginia Yeakle. soprano: Mrs. J. R. oncrieff, contralto; Ben L. Easton, tenor; Edward A. Holscher, baritone. A piano recital will be given by Selma Mae Levinson in the pink parlor of the Buckingham on Wednesday’ evening, Dec. 15. She will be assisted by Kath- arine Warren (violin), V.,.Lichtenstein, Mrs. M. G. Levinson and MYsi W. H. Warren. Miss Levinson is 12 years old. Mr. and Mrs. William John Hall an- nounce that their next Students’ Recital will be given on Monday evening, Dec. %). in the Recital Hall of the Musical Arts Building. The program will be ‘“‘Ancient and Modern Christmas Music.” | The Union Musical Club will give its second recital at Ifusical Arts Recital Hall, Boyle avenue and Olive street, Tuesday afternoon. The program will consist of a series of interpretations by the Welte-Mignon player, a German in- vention. Renditions by Lhevinne, Pad- erewski, Samaroff and others will be reproduced with fidelity to expression and technique. Miss Margaret Mahm will be pianist. Vocal numbers will be sung by Mildred Dixon and Mrs. W. J. Parker.

This new addition to church music lit- erature, which is written for soprano solo and chorus, is one of decided mu- sical worth. In addition to this cantata, which will be sung by the regular choir of St. Pe- ter’s Church, Mr. Galloway will be heard in two organ numbers: ‘‘Contem- plation,”’ by Wheeldon, and ‘Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren’ (Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow), a new composition by Alex Guilmont.

Death of “Orphans’ Mother” Deplored The Board of Directors of the Ger- inan Protestant Orphans’ Home, on St. Charles Rock road, held a meet- ing Friday at which a resolution de- ploring the recent death of Mrs. Ma- rie Hackemeier, and extending con- dolence to her family was adopted. Mrs. Hackemeier was one of the best known charity workers in St. Louis and for more than 40 years was known as the “Orphans’ Mother.” Gains 30 Pounds In 30 Days Remarkable Result of the New Tissue Builder, Protone, In Many Cases of Run-Down Men and Women.

Other offices have also shared his attention since he undertook the work of “cleaning up” the City Hal] by reorganizing some of its departments. The first thing he noticed was the smoke inspector- ship. He found the Smoke Inspector busy looking at chimneys. But, reasoned Schutz, the smoke does not start in the chimneys; it starts from the fur- naces and boilers. Why not let the Boiler Inspec- tor look after it, along with his viewing of safety valves? The reply was that the Boiler Inspector was al- ready doing all- he could be expected to do for $1800 a year. “Then pay him more,” said Schutz. “Give him $3000 a year and merge the smoke office with his.” And without waiting for the Board of Freehold- ers, Schutz went to work on a bill to bring about the consolidation. . Next he wanted to know why the water rates office and the Water Department cannot take part in the get-together movement.

ATER, his colleagues predict, he will be along with a plan to consolidate the office of free bridge engineer with that of the inspector of waits, and to simplify the city’s li- cense business by dispensing marriage, dramshop and dog licenses over one counter. Permits, those handy little things that every mayor issues more or less of, and which have a way of returning to plague their issuers, have taken up a number of Sclwutz’s mornings and af- ternoons, and have caused him to visit various( sections of the city, paying his own carfare the while. instructions to go as far as he liked. Thus far he has found that a good many per- mits still in use have expired, that others never were legal and that still others never authorized the holders to do what they have done. The Ter- minal, he also found, holds not a few of these per- mits with blowholes in them. He didn’t like to seem to harp on the Terminal’s shortcomings, but it wasn’t his fault that he kept discovering its misdemeanors. One of his committees is that on claims, and he’ has looked into every claim for himself. Like the railroad claim lawyer, who finds that every cow killed by an engine is a full-blooded Jersey and every dog a blue-ribbon winner, Schutz has dis-, covered that land sacrificed to the city is always more valuable than any land adjoining, or than its owner ever told the Tax Assessor.

FOLLOW SOUNDS OF ENEMIES Microphone Attachment Guides Ex- plosive Tube by Noise From Ships’ Propellers. LONDON, Dec. 11.—A wonderful tor- pedo, which picks up sound and tracks it down, is reported to be in the hands of the British admiralty, by which it will be subjected soon to exhaustive trials. The principle of the microphone is utilized. The “torpedo with a brain,” as the new weapon-has been described, is fitted with a delicate mechanism, controlled ty a microphone attached to the torpe- do’s rudders. When the microphone picks up 4 sound, it deflects the rudder in such a manner as to guide the torpedo straight to the source of sound waves. Properly cimed, the inventors declare, the torpe- do will pick up unfailingly the noise

made by the propellers of an enemy’s vessel.

Child’s -Letter Sent Across: Conti- nent Leads: to Discovery of Woman. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Dec. 11.—A let- ter to Sheriff Reese from a 5-year-old girl of Auburn, N. Y., inclosed the photo of her mother, Mrs. Mary Russ, and the man she came West with. In the letter the child asked the Sheriff to “please find mamma.” It led to the arrest of Mrs. Russ and her affinity in this city. Mrs. Russ is the wife of a farmer near Auburn. About a year ago she ran off with Hills, the hired man, and came to Sacramento. Detective Cook recog- nized her on the street here and con- fronted her and she told where Hills was. . The officer compelled Hills to buy the woman a ticket back to Auburn, and he put her on the train. She has five chil- dren. é , on y - | mis Pi ) HOBOKEN, N.

3 H. U. Rosenthal, manager of the Great Britain Waterproof Co. at 88 Olive _ street; is looking for two women who obtained a $9 coat from him and paid for it with a check which came back from the Third Nationa! Bank. stamped “not sufficient funds.” : He says a mid¢cle-aged woman went to his store last week and selected the coat for “her daughter.”’ The following day the daughter appeared and took the coat. She: gave him a check signed Ger- trude Slater (or Slatery). He says that at the bank he found that Gertrude Slater had $1 on deposit and that her ‘acdress is 1126 East Whittier street The name has a ‘‘curlycue”’ at the end which makes it amlLiguous. Kessler Swindled Also. He went to the Whittier street flat, but. nobody answered the bell. Under the door he found the card of Ed Wai- der of the Kessler Fur and Hat Co. On it was written, “H. E. Pitkin—Your check came back. No funds. Please call and make good.”’ Kessler says that a woman known to him as Mrs. Pitkin bought a $36 muff from him 10 days ago and paid for it with a check which he couldn't cash. He says that she is a middle-aged woman, and he has known ‘her several years. A year ago she told him that she had married a man named Rath- burn. She told him of valuable mining stocks which she owns. The coat purchased from Rosenthal was sent to the Pontiac Hotel, Nine- teenth and Market streets, for Miss) Siater or Slatery. Efforts to tind Miss Slater or Slatery at the Whittier street address or the Pontiac Hotel, were unsuccessful. The former place was closed, and at the ho- te) she was not known. ; __ WOMEN ASK: THE CUSTOM HOUSE ‘FOR READING OF THEIR LIVES Collectors Can’t Understand How impression of Clairvoyant Powers Got Out. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Two letters ad- dressed to the “Custom House, New York,"’ were finally placed on the. desk that is jointly occupied by Special Dep- uty Collectors Stuart and ‘Baker, re- spectively Collector Loeb’s personal as- sistant and private secretary. Mr. Baker ed one of the letters and Mr. Stu- art the other, suspecting that there might be a highly concentrated. feather- weight infernal machine inside for pro- moters of investigations that hurt. The letters were opened simultaneously and did not go off. Mr. Baker asked Mr. Stuart what he had in his and Mr. Stuart read this effusion from Kam- loops, B. C.: “Will you please send me a life read- ing? I was born Nov. 23, 1859. “MRS. J. McCONNELL.” Thereupon Mr. Baker read his letter, also from Kamloops: “Will you please send me a reading ‘of my life? I was born Jan, 2, 1884. “MISS NORMA McCONNELL.” . The special deputy collectors laughed. _ They refused to put the problem up to ' their superior, It was suggested that perhaps the women had read the news- papers and had gathered from them “that a certain quality of clairvoyance was necessary in the Custom House to ' “‘meover the sugar frauds.

HELD FOR DEATH OF OCEY SHEAD Aged Aunt Is Bound Over to Grand Jury in Bathtub Mystery. DEATH NOTE ASSAILED Expert Declares Two Pens _Were Used in Indicting “Suicide” Letter. NEW YORK, Dec. i11.—Mrs. Vir- ginia Wardlaw, the aged aunt of Mrs. Ocey W. M. Snead, victim of the bath- tub tragedy, who has developed s0 many mysteries in the investigation of the young woman’s death by the, authorities, was arraigned today be- fore Recorder Nott, in East Orange, N. “s on a charge of murdering her niece, The accused woman was pale and worn from her incarceration, but ap- peared composed for the deal. If she should be discharged by the Re- corder, it is said she would immedi- ately be arrested by Prosecutor Mott’s detectives and held for action of the grand jury. Mrs. Wardlaw, heavily veiled, sat in court beside her counse], Franklin W. Fort, a son of Gov. Fort of New Jersey. She ,seemed to resent the scrutiny of the crowd, which packed the courtroom, ‘and shielded her face at times with her veil. Death From Drowning. The*first witness, Sergeant Timothy Caniff of the East Orange police force, told of the discovery, Nov. 29, of Ocey Snead’s body in the bathtub of the Fast Orange house in a few inches of wate. County Physician Simmons told of his visit to the Wardlaw house and de- scribed the appearance ef the dend girl. He said her body was greatly emaciated Dr. Simmons said as tre body lay in the tub the girl’s head was under water. He told of finding a note pinned to the dead girl’s skirt, in which she said she was going to take her life. The witness had not performed an autopsy on the body, he said. Ceunty Physician McKenzie, who per- formed the autopsy, when asked if he could state the exact cause of death, saig he made an examination of the organs and that the lungs were con- gestec and death was possibly due to drewning. He gave it as his opinion the girl was alive when she entered the bathtub. Signature Is Questioned. In answer to further questions by Recorder Nott, Dr. McKenzie said that, judging from the condition of the body, the girl. had been dead from 18 hours to three or four days. The witness said he found all the organs in a healthy condition, with the exception of the stomach, which he Is still examining. William J. Kinsey, a handwriting ex- pert, said that, from his examination of the suicide note found near Ocey Snead’s body, and inspection of her writing, he was unable to state definite- ly now, whether or not she had written. it. The pen used in writing the signa- had been used in writing the body of the note, he said. After arguments of counsel Recorder Nott held Mrs. Wardlaw to await the action of the grand jury. GEN, GREELEY, LOYAL T0 COOK. QUITS THE EXPLORERS’ CLUB Was Displeased at Abandonment of Dinner in Brooklyn Man’s Honor. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The Cook- Peary controversy has led to the resig- nation of Gen. A. W. Greeley from the Explorers’ Club, of which he wag presi- dent before Commander Peary was elected to that position. Peary is: now president. Gen. Greeley’s letter of resig- nation was a brief, formal document, in which no reason-_for his action was given, but it is a matter of general knowledge among explorers and men in- terested in exploration that Gen. Greeley thinks the Explorers’ Club is dominated by Peary partisans. | When Dr. Cook first announced his discovery the Explorers’ Club arranged a dinner in his honor to be given during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. Then

; came Peary’s announcement with its ac- companyitig accusations against Dr. Cook. Peary’s friends immediately set to work and had the Cook dinner side- tracked, This angered Gen. Greeley, who has remained a loyal friend of Dr. Cook all threugh the controversy and his res- ignation therefore causes little surprise. 6. A. R.

ot | SUSPECTED LE LEPER SENT FROM _ WASHINGTON. IN TON IN SPECIAL CAR John RB. Early Has’Sa Has Salvation Army Man 4s Companion: -on Trip to New- York. ‘WASHING: ON; Dee. 1L.—One ef the fast trains for+New ‘York dast night left with 200- or. more passengers who never suspected.that John R. Early, isuspected lep>r, was riding in the: bag- gage car ahead. He had gone to the Rockefeller’ Inistitute for Medical Re- search in New York, where he will be examined by Dr. Simon Fiexner late today. The Baltimore and Ohio furnished a special car for less than the regular rate. Early was whisked down to the rail- rcad yards in a Health Department au- tomobile. Tne locomotive was waiting there with the baggage car. With a Salvation Army man as his only com- panion, Early got in and said bood-by to Dr. W.. C. Fowler, who caused his second quarantine in Washington. The locomotive and car then backed down into the station, where the coaches already loaded. were waiting, and the train pulled out.

UL REACHES AMERICA a AWAIT ACTION ON Asserts That $250,000 Is: Due Her for Seizure of Crown Lands. * . SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11.—Former Queen Liliuokalani of Hawati, accom- panied by a maid and her oe D. Aimoku, arrived. on the liner Mon- golia yesterday from Honolulu, en route to Washington and Boston. She will remain in San #rancisco until after the holidays to visit the Princess Kawan- anakoa. Upon the arrivai of Prince Jonah Kal- anianaole, dtherwise known ag Prince Cupid, delegate in. Congress from Ha- wail, the Queen will go to Washing- ton. At the capital she will await some ac- tion on her claim for $250,000 for seizure by the United States of what are termed the crown lands in Hawaii.- .The claim has been pending for several years and no report upon it has been made to

the House by the Committée on Claims.. But Liliuokalani fervently hopes that the present Congress will relmburse her for the lands. From Washington Liliuokalani will go to Boston to visit relatives of -her hus- band, the late Gov. J. O. Dominis. The former Queen, despite her 71 years, is in good health and ‘spirits. CLAIM ITALIAN XING BUYS FABLED ~~ ISLAND OF MONTE CRISTO

Has Had Desire for Ownership , Since He Was. Prince of Naples. Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch rl and New York World. TURIN, .Dec. 11.—The King of Italy ihas becoms the owner of the fabled is- land ef Monte Cristo, immortalized by Dumas. .He has had a desire to pos- sess it ever since he: was Prince of Na- ples, and for 10 years he has paid a handsome rent to the Marqtiis Ridolfi for the shooting rights of the island. It is situated a few miles from Elba, and about forty from the mainland, the only building upon it being the King’s little hunting box. Here, with the Queen, he delights to spend a week in perfect quiet and seclusion, wholly relieved from not only the cares but the presence of the functionaries of state. Queen Eleana loves to roam the silent hills dressed in the garb of a Tuscan peasant, in which she looks handsomer than in her elaborate court costumes. The King intends to keep the island ex- actly as it.is and use it as a pleasant retreat from the worries of the world and the formalities which hedge around

FAMED AS A PUNSTER “Unreconstructed Rebel’ and Ever a Friend of the Much- Criticised Poe. BALTIMORE, Dec. 7.—One of the sweetest singers in the English language was silenced last week, when all that was mortal of the Rev. John Bannister Tabb, the blind poet-priest, was laid to rest. Early in life one of the most dar- ire blockade runners of the Southern Confederacy, he died a soldier of the Prince of Peace. from a humble teacher of music in a parochial school he became a warm friend of Cardinal Gtbbons. Once a ragged prisoner in a Union army pris- on, he died the author of verses known wherever the English language is spok- en. Belonging to a family of Virginia aristocrats and Episcopalians, he left his State and church to become a Catholic priest. Although stricken blind, he nev- er lost his courage and continued te be an inimitable wit and punster, even at his own affliction. Father Tabb was born March 22, 1845, at the old Tabb homestead, the Forest, in Amelia County, Virginia. He received ® good education at the hands of private tutors. At the beginning of the Civil War he entered the Confederate service as captairi’'s clerk on the Confederate States steamship the Robert E. Lee, which, under the command of Capt. John Wilkinson, ran the bleckade of Wil- mington, N. C., 21 times. He Is War Prisoner. On the first trip, under a noncommis- sioned officer, Capt. Knox, the vessel Was captured on Nov. 5, 1863, by the United States steamship the Keystone State, and young Tabb was sent with other prisoners to Old Lookout, Md. Here he made the acquaintance of Sid- ney Lanier, also a prisoner, and the two became fast friends. The friendship that had its blossom- iing as a prison flower in war days was destined to know no fading during the life of either poet, and Father Tabb was one of those who assembled at the Lanier memorial meeting at the Johns Hopkins University to pay a heartfelt tribute to Sidney Lanier’s genius. One of Father Tabb’s own vol- umes of verse was dedicated to this friend of his youth and mature man- After release from prison Father Tabb fought about for a means of livelihood. jie taught music in St. Paul’s Epis- copal Parochial School, in Baltimore. and in Racine College, Racine, Mich. Finally he settled upon the clerical call- ing and pursued a course of study for admission to the Protestant Episcopal Church. After becoming a candidate for orders in the Protestant Episcopa! Church, however, he found himself drawn to the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and became a member of that household of faith in 1872. He Takes Priest’s Orders. After two years’ preliminary study at St. Charles College, near Ellicott City, Howard County, Md., he was apopinted to the chair of English in that institu- tion, andiin 1884 took: priest’s orders. Since that time he had been a member of the staff of the college. Father Tabb was an inveterate pun- ster. Many of his students assert that each morning he arose with an entirely new group ef witicisms and humerous ideas, and his progress through the co)- lege refectory at breakfast was en- livened by his expressions of humorous oddities that left peals of laughter in his wake. His brilliant flashes left neither cut nor sting, and he was known to feel but two animosities. He was never reconciled tod the defeat of the Southern cause—he called himself “an unconstraind rebel’’—and he could never forgive unfriendly criticism of Edgar Allan Poe. Being a confirmed punster, no day passed but one or another of his pupils was ‘“‘punned” by him. He would meet ' @ favorite in the corridor or in the Brounds and the boy would hear aome- thing like this: Some of His Puns.

Even his foreshowed blindness he made matter for puns. “Who is speaking about my demise (dim eyes)?” he demanded, overhearing two of the students commenting on his bad sight. “I am very much alive.” On one occasion he told the students that he intended to go to Baltimore and take his two weakest pupils with him. The younger and smaller boys vied with one another for the distinction, but all were disappointed—Father Tabb went alone to the oculist’s. When Archbishop Curtis once asked Father Tabb if the later had any mes- sage for the Cardinal, Father Tabb re- plied: “Yes, tell His Eminence I should like to have a see.”’ Merry Despite Blindness. When blindness came upon him, in 1907, Father Tabb remained philosoph- ical and cheerful, bearing his cross with true Christian courage. So joyous was the spirit of the man, so strong his de- termination to overcome gloom with optimism, that even his affliction be- came a source of humorous comment. From darkness he wrote to a friend the following limerick, which connects his affliction with current events of the day: HIGH FLYERS. There once were two brothers Wright, Who rose in aerial flight; But a poet I knew Much higher could go, Vor he soared till he got out of sight. It is said that often in the dusk of evening Father Tabb stole away to the college muric room, where for hours he filled the darkness with melody. A brilliant performer upon the piano, his taste inclined much to tender minor chords and musical revery tnat caused the listening students first to pay breathless attention and finally to steal noiselessly away, leaving the old mu- sician alone with his melody and mem- ories. It is no wonder that a prominent “rit- ish literary critic some years ago placed Father Tabb in the front rank of living American poets, and a writer in the London Spectator, some thirteen years since, did not hesitate to say that the Rey. John B. Tabb was at that time one of the greatest living poets in the English language. Father Tabb was the author of several small volumes of ex- quisité verse. COW FALLS OVER CLIFF AND REUNITES MOTHER AND GIRL Father Beat Daughter and the Story Reached Woman Now Happy With Her Again. MOUNT CARMEL, IIL, Dec. 11.—If the cow had not fallen over a Wabash River cliff and broken its neck, Ethe! Evans, 16 years old, probably never again would have seen her mother, from whom she was kidnaped by her father As it happened, Ethel was restored to her mother, now Mrs. F. A. Mather of Chicago. Ethel was tending the cow at its graz- ing’ on a high bluff overlooking the river near Mount Carmel. She had been crippled since her father, years ago, she related, whipped her and hurt her hip. The cow wandered to the edge of the cliff, and before Ethel could turn it the animal plunged over the edge. When the terrified child limped home and told her father the cow was dead, he took her crutch from her and beat her mercilessly, according to the story she told the neighbors. The father flea and a citizens’ posse pursued him, but he escaped. The child's stery was printed tn the newspapers. Her mother’s sister read it, made an investigation and found that the wretched waif was her niece. Now a new life has opened to the gir! in her mother’s arms.

NAVAL WEDDING I SEQUEL TD RESLUE Lieutenant Who Saved Bride- groom’s Life in Submarine Dis- aster Is the Best Man. Special Correspondence From London Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 2.—A wedding as ro- mantic as any which took place in the cld Adelphi melodramas was celebrated at Holy Trinity Church, Sloante street. The cast in this romance off the stage was: The Bridegroom— Lieut. Geoffrey Watkins, R. N. The Best Man (who saved the bride- groom’s life)— Lieut. Gordon Brodie R. N. SMO Bri@eii.: inc. : Miss Phyllis Rooke Officers and bluejackets in full uni- fcrm, and chorus of bridemaids and pages, with a “crowd” of guests and sightseers. The wedding was a sequel to the dis- aster to the submarine C 11, which was recently sunk off Yarmouth with a loss of 13 lives. Lieut. Brodie was in command of the C ll, and was below at the time of the accident, the second itn command, Lieut. Watkins, being on duty In the conning tcwer. Lieut. Watkins was pitched into the sea, and, hampered by heavy clothes, was sinking for the third time When Lieut. Brodie dived to his rescue. He succeeded after a desperate strug- gle in keeping his comrade’s nead above water, until they were both picked up by a boat from submarine C 12. The bridegroom, his best man, and the five groomsmen (four naval and one army man) were in full uniform, while directly behind the bride walked a small Jack tar, Master Maurice Watkins, who prized the silver boatswain’s whistle Which the bride gave to him. As the bridal couple passed down the aisle all the service men present formed or. either side and made an archway with their drawn swords—a fitting ‘‘cur- tain’’ to such a picturesque. and ro- mantic scene.

RY SECTION Tht NATION All Trades Assert That Condi- tions for 1909 Are Excep- tionally Gratifying.

FIRMS REPORT 3000 National Association of Manu- facturers Compiles Answers to Its Queries.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 1L.—That -the in- dustrial condition of the country is once more sane and healthy is shown in a compilation of trade conditions, based on the answers of 8000 firms made to letters sent out by the National Associ ation of Manufacturers and printed in the current issue of American In- dustries, the organ of the organization. To reach the result set forth in the tables compiled by the magazine the members of the association were asked hese questions: “What are present conditions in your trade?” ‘What is the percentage of increase in business (if any) over the latter part of 1908?” ‘What are the trade prebabilities in your particular industry?” Every industry and trade but one re- ported that conditions at present were good, and most of them gaid they were excellent. Without exception each trade reported conditions of 1908 were ex. ceptionally bright. Legislative Curbs Decried. Nearly all of the great manufacturers in making suggestions ag to how aot only to increase but to maltntain the present prosperity, decried legislative curbs and the tendency which exists to increase the cost of raw materials. ‘‘No more tariff tinkering,’’ was the cry of many more. “Don’t make mat- ters worse by further meddling. Don’t let State or national commissions and new laws cut into our business any fur- ther.”’ The Dayton Manufacturing Co. of Dayton, O., wrote: ‘The natural impulse to increase the price of all raw material and the scar- city of good help are obstacles which may tend to check to some extent the present indications of the continuance of prosperity.” : The American Gas Furnace New York voiced this opinion: ‘We discourage hasty legislation, either as regards a change in our mone- tary system or the control of trusts, and especially that, while we insist upon absolute impartiality we do not empower any commission ap- pointed by the Government to fix the game arbitrarily, havitig a friendly re- gard for railroads, with whose prosperi- ty the general prosperity of the country is inseparably linked.” American Shins Needed. Of the increase in trade which should come to this country through the de- velopment of its export trade, this is said by James Leffel & Co. of Spring- field, O., manufacturers of engines and boilers: “In go far as export trade Is con- cerned, two of the greatest helps that could come to American manufacturers would be the creation and putting into service of American lines of vessels to carry American goods, and the establish- ment in suitable and favorable sections abroad of American banks, or some ar- rangements effected whereby the ex- change of money and remittances could be effected more conveniently and in a more satisfactory way by our foreign customers.

It is so rare an event as to be notable when under these conditions a referee decides against the petition. The bet- ting would be about 2% to 1 against. the possibility of a refusal. The master recommends to the judge who appoints him that the divorce we granted. The judge acts accordingly. Then one of the counsel arises, and re- quests that, excepting the decree itself, the papers in the case be sealed.

LONDON, Dec. 2.—“An acute febrile, specific, infectious, and contagious di- sease, probably produced by many mi- cro-organisms,’’ was the definition of “‘a common cold’’ given by Dr. Seymour Taylor in a lecture at the West Lon- don Hospital. “Tt is,” he said, “a fever or heat rather than a cold, and is widely spread through the community owing to the carelessness of sufférers, and the want of precautions taken by others. “The cold confers no immunity from subsequent attacks, but, on the contrary, predisposes sufferers to subsequent in- vasions, and relapses during convales- cence are apt to occur, just as they do in typhoid cases. It is most frequent in young adults, though no age is exempt. “Lowered vitality is a strong predis- posing condition. Drafts do not cause the disease, but a draft which lowers the temperature of a body insufficiently clothed is often the culminating causal factor. ‘Autumn is the mogt frequent time for epidemics, and infection is often caused by vapor rising up into the streets through the ventilating pipes of sewers. “I know of no remedy with which it is possible to cut short or avert @

Dome. ae oe te : ft vee oH oy A ee . ~~ MOS tel awe The jury of the Society of Western | Artiste assembled in St. Louis from In- i fianapolis, Chicago and other cities ' | three days ago, and has been examin- | ing the several) hundred works sub- | mitted by the artists of the West, for + whom the annual collection of the so- 7 clety is the great representative exhi- | bition of the year. A cash prize of $500, ’ known as the Chicago Fine Arts Build- ' Ing prize, will be awarded for one of the pictures by a special jury. A medal yalso is to be awarded to one of the 43 pictures on behalf of the Wednesday ‘Club. The collection will probably be _open to the public at the Art Museum “next Sunday. . The virile and varied collection of paintings by Mr. Rediield, which will be replaced by the Western Artist So- elety’s annual exhibition, has proved to ‘) Be one of the best appreciated as well - as one of the most technically com- | manding of the many one-man exhibi- | tions at the Art Museum. Indeed, per- _ haps only the collection of paintings by - William M. chase, exhibited last spring, has equalled it in genera) interest. Another collection which is being much enjoyed by an appreciative St. Louis public is that of water colors by American artists, lent by Gustav H. Buek of Brooklyn. The pictures by - Henry W. Ranger, E. I. Couse, William LL. Lathrop, George Hitchcock, John H. Twachtman, Winslow Homer and others ~ fepresent these workers at a high tide of their artistic careers. Interesting as $y personal notes and as studies are the _ exhibits signed by James A. McNeill ' Whistler, E. A. Abbey, John LaFarge - and other masters. This collection of » one hundred and sixty-nine examples of | American painting are upon many ’ themes and in many manners. An interesting picture recently lent to | the Museum is a Madonna by a S8t. ‘} Louis artist, the late Miss Sadie P. '. Waters. The picture, which is entitled, _ “The Madonna of the Rose Trees,’’ is ' lent by the artist’s mother, Mrs. Wil- ' Ham H. Waters. The painter studied | drawing for some time at the School | of Fine Arts in St.: Louis, but owed the _ final development of her considerable _. talents very considerably to Luc-Olivier Merson of Paris. | A lecture by Miss Alice More on Mr. | Redfield’s paintings, was given in the .

REMOVE YOUR ‘ ————————— Every Employe Is En- titled to Invest 25 Per Cent of a Year's Salary in the Stock and Reap Full Bene- fit. | ree tn a a Written for the New York World and Post-Dispatch By G. W. PERKINS. of J. P. Morgan &, Co.. Chairman of the International Harvester Co. (The Harvester Trust.) NEW YORK, Dec. 11. If, as many of us have come to be- lieve, co-operation in business is taking and should take the place of ruthless competition—if this new order of things is better for capital and better for the consumer, then, in order to succeed per- manently, it must demonstrate that it is better for the laborer. And if profit- sharing, pensions, insurance and the like mean anything they must mean co- operation between capital and labor—co- operation in the broadest, most helpful and enduring form. Plans for profit-sharing, pensions and the like are not new in American busi- ness. They have been tried off and on, here and there, in various forms for a long time, and up to a few years ago many of them had fallen more or less short of success. It is my judgment that the reason for this can be found almost wholly in the fact that the un- successful plans did not embody a true, ation. A secret, perhaps almost an uncon- scious purpose, existed to benefit the business in question out of proportion to the labor employed in the business, and no such. plan having. such a pur- pose can permanently succeed, for the selfish points in it will work to the surface sooner or later and cause fail- ure, Is Purely Business. On the other hand, there can be no sentimental philanthropy about this great question. It is purely a business question. Profit-sharing, pensions and the like, from a pecuniary standpoint, are a profitable thing for a business and also for its labor or for neither. No American worthy of being called a man wants something for nothing. Because of the enormous growth of business affairs in the United States many business concerns have passed beyond the period where one man or even twelve men can keep a close su- pervision over all the branches of a given business undertaking. Now it goes without saying that no business will rur itself—either in its executive functions or in the machines themselves at the factory or plant. In all the inventions and ingenuity that have been brought to bear on business affairs in the last quarter of a century nothing has been found to take the place of the human mind. Nothing hag been found to take the place of a man’s ability to do—with a proper incentive behind that ability; and no such sub- stitute will ever be found. It is, therefore, of the utmost im- portance to American business inter- ests of today and tomorrow that every man in any given concern be so asso- ciated with that concern that he will give the best there is in him to the performance of the duties assigned to him, There is a vast difference between the work that a human being performs in a perfunctory, machinelike manner and the work that he performs with a keen, loyal interest in what he is do- ing; and in just this difference does success come to the individual and come tc a large concern, if it be so fortu- nate as to have a force of individuals who are working with this spirit. Means Co-Operation of All. If profit-sharing means anything, if providing for old age means anything, if caring for those who become ill or injured in the service means anything, it should mean the fostering of the in- terest of men in their work, whether that work be sweeping out the effice, shoveling coal or presiding over a great commercial company. In short, it should mean real co-operation between stock- holders, managers and employes. The management of the Interna- {ional Harvester Co., its subsidiary and affiliated companies, believing in these theories, set out several years ago to see how nearly it could come to applying them practically to its ousiness. As a result it has devised and put*into effect plans covering the following: : First. Profit sharing. Second. Insurance covering sickness, accident and death, Third. Old age pensions, Briefly stated these three plans are as follows: First. Profit sharing—The profit sharing is divided into two heads, the first one being a certain sum of money set aside by the company | in cash out ef its carnings each year, the size of the sum depend- ing On the size of the company’s profits, the percentage scale be. ing stated. This is for immediate distribution im cash among the men who make 4 satisfactory showing for the year. The distribution of the sales de- partment’s share in these profits is based upon two important points— first, increase of sales; second, re- duction of selling expense. In the works the profits are distributed for increased preduction, decreaseg cost, or a combination of both. Employes In any branch of the company’s sery- ice showing marked ability during {the year are entitled to receive reo. egnition under this profit-sharin plan. - : The second classification of pront- an honest and a fair spirit of co-oper- ra.

(Photo Copyrighted by Rockwood.) © 9900000000006 O0OG662 OOOH in excess of 25 per cent of his salary in any one year; therefore, all are treated alike. Offered 27,500 Shares. Twelve thousand five hundred shares of preferred stock®and 15,000- shares of common stock were offered for sale last July at @ prices below the then market value. In addition to the regular divi- cends there is allowed a bonus of $4 and $3 respectively on each share of the pre- ferred and common stock each year for five years, the only condition being that a@ man must be in good standing in the company's service during each of these years, have his stock, and either have paid or be paying for it. In such cases as the men leave the company’s service or discontinue paying for their stock, the company continues placing these $4 and $3 payments on such stock into a fund, and at the end of five years this fund will be divided among such sub- scribers as fully paid for the stock and remained in good standing in the com- pany’s service during the five-year peri- oa. . The result of this plan, in a word, is that a man begins to buy a share of the company’s stock at a price below the market value; he is allowed to pay for it in installments, paying 5 per cent interest on deferred payments; he is credited with 7 per cent dividends on the preferred stock and whatever divi- dends are declared on the common stock. | In addition te this, he is credited with, respectively, $4 and $3 per share, each year, on the preferred and common stock, and at the end of five year receives a further benefit by way of a share in a fund made up of such $4 and $3 deposits as are made by the company on account of those who do not continue under the plan, It will be seen that this offers the men an 9x- ceedingly, satisfactory form of invest- ment in the business in which they are employed, and gives to the company the great advantage of anchoring its or- ganization to the business. 4300 Employes as Stockholders. The stock offered last summer was largely oversubscribed and the company today has over 4300 employes as stock- holders. Second, the company’s benefit plan. O1 Sept. 1, 1908, the Employes’ Benefit Association of the International Har- vester Co. was inaugurated. This as- sociation was organized for the men, and it is today run by the men. It is governed by a board of 30 trustees, one-half of whom are elected by bal- lot. The contributions are 2 per cent of the employes’ wages or salary, and the benefits derived are as follows: Two years’ pay for death due to accident, one year’s pay for death due to sickness and half pay for disability due either to sickness or accident, etc. The membership in thfs association is purely voluntary, and any one joining and later receiving benefits is not re- quired to waive any legal rights. That this may be a co-operative movement the company’s share in the plan is an annual contribution of $60,000 to this association provided the average mem- bership equals 75 per cent of the em- ployes in the factories and works. Over 75 per cent have joined, and there- fore the company is making its con- tribution of $50,000. The best answer as to whether the men approve of this association 1s made by stating that 21,600 people are contributing members to it. In the first 14 months of its existence over $200,000 has been disbursed in benefits. Third, the pension plan. The pension plan was inaugurated as a recognition of long and faithful service. All em- ployes 70 years of age and over who have worked for 20 years are pensioned; while employes who have reached the age of 65 years may voluntarily apply for a pension. The minimum. amount of pension is $18 per month and the maximum $100 per month. The com- pany has not favored higher salaried employes at the expense of the labor- ing man, All pensions are figured on the same basis—that is, on the pay a man re- ceives during his empleyment and on his length of service, therefore there A FAT WOMAN - © HATES SOCIETY » Fat people have to get into clothes that are designed for people of normal physique. The men wear dress suits and look like comie pictures. The women wear low- necked dresses to their evident humiliation. This is why it is often said that a fat wom- an hates society. Fat is as much the mis- take of poor health as anything else. The things that make fat should be making good blood, bone and nerves. The secret is that the digestive machinery is out of gear. The juices meke fat in too large quantities, This fat impedes oirculation, cramps the heart, suppresses thé liver, erowds the lungs and in- terferes with the stomach. Marmola Tab- lete are harmless. They are taken after each meal. They help digest that meal ag nature intended it should be digested. They remove the fat already made at the rate of from 12 te 15 ounces a day, and they leave no flabby skin or wrinkles. They are sold wherever O© =

are no inequalities in the amounts paid. All the benefits and expense of the pension plan are borne by the company {tself—no contribution of any kind or nature being made to this plan by the employes. The company is also doing welfare work. It is called welfare work for lack of a better name, It is as much a business branch of the company as any other division. The important features of this work are protection against injury, sanitation, health, educational work, charities, recreation, etc. Controlled by a Board, The welfare work is controlled by an advisory board, composed of the super- intendents of all of the works, who, through an executive committee, dictate the welfare activities of the company. Special attention is given to protection against injury and to sanitation. The ac- cident hazard can never be removed, be- cause of the human element; that is beyond the realm of possibility. There- fore the company is trying to arrive at the point where the occupation is surrounded with every known safeguard and only the man is the hazard. The foreman of each department is impressed with the fact that he is the one who is responsible for the safety of his men, and by securing the co-opera- tion of every one it {is hoped to establish a standard that will be of benefit and use to others. Improved sanitary condi- tions mean better health, and better health means better work—and this matter is having the constaiut atten- tion of the company’s managers of wel- fare. In the year 1908 the Harvester Co., spent about $100,000 in its welfare work. This year it will probably spend a somewhat larger sum. The company has been criticised by managers of other companies for mak- ing the plan above outlined too liberal! anf’ attractive. It has been said that the plans will be too expensive to the Harvester Co. and that their cost will be very large. There is no doubt of the truth of this criticism in so far as the cost goes. No concern has ever put out plans that involved the application of so large a percentage of its profits to such plans. But the Harvester Co. did not do this out of pure philanthropy. It had no in- tention of passing around a hat full of money that employes might help them- selves. Purely Business Plan. It went into these enterprises in a purely business spirit, believing that the plans would so knit its vast organiza- tion together, would so stimulate indi- vidual initiative, would so strengthen and develop the esprit de corps of the organization as to make it possible for the company to increase its business and its earnings—and with the spirit of be- ing willing to share this increased suc- cess with its organization. So far the company has every reason to congratulate itself on the result. In all parts of the company’s business, at home and abroad, in the office force, in the factories, in the sales department— everywhere—the average interest of the individual in the business is greater than former:y. The saving of the waste here, there and everywhere, is noticeable. The emrployes throughout the organization are vieing with one another more and more to improve their respéctive branches of the business. This means profits for the stoeckhold- ers, meang extra compensation in vari- ous ways for the employes—in short, mens co-operation that is real, that is 2»eneficial to one and all.

PRACTICED TEN YEARS Government Agents Helped to Block Investigation at Gotham Port.

By Leased Wire From the New York Furean of the Post-Diapatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Following the revelations of the customs frauds in sugar, cheese, lemons and other articles of commerce, facts have come to the World’s attention which prove that the importations of olive oil at this port were tainted with frauds that cost the United States Government more than $100,000 a year from 1897 to 1906, when the frauduient practices appear to have been stopped. The facts show that many men in the customs service, in the Ap- praiser’s Department and _ elsewhere, must have known of the frauds and winked at them. That the importers who profited by the frauds divided their loot with some officials both here and in Washington is certain, and the trail points convincingly to the office of one man whose name has been mentioned many times of late in connection with the sugar frauds. In no case were the men who were detailed to investigate the extraor- dinary decrease in the importations of olive oil, as such, able to induce the Government to prosecute a single of- fender, and when these men finally took the matter in their hands and arrested one man whom they had caught red- handed, they were met with a reluc- tancy to act In the Treasury Depart- ment itself, and a visible desire to be lenient with the offender in the De- paftment of Justice. As a result the man, though tried twice, once without the jury being able to agree, and again to be found innocent, was set free to go back to the trade he had built up through. cheating the Government. The trick by which the importers worked their ends was a simple one, one that would not have deceived a child for any length of time. It was to muddle up the virgin olive oil by adding “foots” or sediment, and then ship- ing it to New York invoiced as ‘‘com- mercial’ or ‘industrial’ oil, which came in duty free, while olive oil. paid 40 cents a gallon. Investigator Fired. Bernhardt Teodor, a special agent of the Treasury Department, nearly un- raveled the tangled skein of fraud and trickery in which the olive oil importa- tions to New York were wound, and he was discharged without notice or excuse when his work was half done. He had been warned by importers who felt the weight-of his hand in his investigations, and found themselves face to face with a situation where they might be forced tc pay back enormous sums to the Gov- ernment, as well as incurring the dan- ger of criminal prosecutions. Teodor, anxious to push the prosecu- tion, begged the Washington authorities to back him up. But they were deaf to his appeals, and the warnings: of the importers that his job would soon be vacant came true in a strikingly short time. Teodor was the seventh man to inquire into olive oil importations, and the others had all failed to penetrate the curtain of fraud. They reported fail- ure, but kept their jobs. In a statement to The World, Teodor says: “About December, 1905, I was assigned to inquire into the importations of olive oil. Information concerning queer do- ings, in this line had reached Washing- ton before, and about six different men had been told off to solve the mystery, and gave it up in disgust. “The special agent in charge, Ralph W. Clayton, without whose support 1! could never have succeeded, said to me: "You'll be up against a rock, Teodor,’ and I answered, ‘All right, chief, let us blast the rock.’ Mr. Clayton replied, Go ahead and do the blasting.’ Hard Sledding at First. “AS soon as my investigations begah, [ found all sorts of obstacles placed in my way from both within and without the department. To overcome these ob- Stucles and get the co-operation of the force I had to appeal to the Collector of the port, Nevada N. Stranahan, who was able, to a certain extent, to Smooth the way for me. But even with the backing of the Collector and the special treasury agent in change | ceuld hardly make any headway for the first month. “I finally sueceeded in reaching the ear of one of the general appraisers, who gave me tremendous assistance, and made my way a little easier. I fcund that there were two grades of oil, imported, the commercial, which ccmes from Spain and Greece, and is unfit for human consumption, and the edible oil, which comes from France and Italy. Greece began to send large quantities of edible of] in 1905, and it Was the Greek importers mostly who caused us trouble. “The Dingley tariff permits commer- cial oil to come in free when under 2 certain standard, and edible ofl has to pay 40 cents a gallon, regardless of quvality.” SIX BROTHERS WED SIX SISTERS OTTAWA, Ontario, Dec. 11—J.

Mrs. Engleman was objected to for cause, but the motion was overruled the Judge holding that a woman was amenable to jury duty under the laws of California. To get rid of her it was necessary for the defense to exercise their last peremptory challenge. The contention has been admitted that Mrs. Engleman should have been ruled off the jury for cause, and, according to the Supreme Court, this is a reversible error. Suffragettes in England and all over America send letters to Mrs. Engleman urging her to stick to the jury for the sake of suffrage.

Coud- rey, who recently re- signed on account of his duties at Washington, must be set down as another display of splendid judg- ment and the conservative action of the Directors of the companies. Walter J. Miller is one of the best- known business men and bankers in Missouri. Indeed his fame as a man of integrity, as an astute financier, as a@ conservative and_ successful banker, extends beyond the borders of his home State. Mr. Miller has for over thirty years, represented various companies individually or through his banks, thus getting a very correct idea of the fundamental prin- ciples of underwriting carried on in his usual conservative and successfu] method. It is doubtful if the companies could have found in the whole range of their re- spective operations aman more suitable and more capable than Walter J. Miller for the office of President. Mr. Miller, assisted as he will be, by men of ability, experts in the several branches of insurance, which the companies will transact, is undoubtedly an assurance of

From the strides taken by the Con- tinental and International Compa- nies itis but a matter of a short time when it will not be outranked by any other insurance companies (in point of putting risks upon their books) in the whole country, Unquestionably the two companies are assuming shape that holds out strong promise of big success. As now officered the companies promise to be managed with aggressive conservation that is bound to command public confidence and attract big patronage. The floating of these two com- panies in St. Louis goes a long way towards showing that this city has been aroused to the importance of the peculiar advantages which it enjoys as an ideal place for the location of big insurance companies, and it is not expecting too much to look for a time in the near future when St. Louis will rank first as an insurance center west of

GARDE, Secretary. ‘ : These FACTS, Not Theories, Show That — - Insurance Stock Investments Are Sai , During the past ten years according to BRADSTREET, there has been over one hundred thousand commercial failures with liabilities of over a billion and a half — dollars. During the same period, six hundred banks and trust companies have closed their doors with liabilities of over three hundred and eight million dollars. During the same period, there has been ninety-three railroad rece. with over six hundred million dollars worth of stock involved. ep While, by INSURANCE, it can be said truthfully for more than thirty years there has not been one single failure of an old-line life insurance company which has” continuously on a legal reserve basis. These are FACTS, not theories, and show that insurance stock investments are safe and profitable to the investor.

ONLY ONE WAY TO RETAIN GOOD HEALTH, SAYS COOPER

Funny Things of Famous Trials Former Shorthand Teacher Has “Taken” Evidence in Many Important Cases. HUMOR IN COURTROOM Dray Load of Records in “Big- gest Case,” Which Netted Her, $2000.

MACON, Mo., Dec. 11.—Mrs. Emilie L. Treat of Hannibal, who has just com- pleted the writing of evidence before the Master in Chancery here, in a case involving the rise of $2,000,000, is proba- bly the best-known official woman court reporter in the West. Among the im- portant criminal trials she has ‘‘taken” are the Alexander Jester case, which lasted three weeks; the Dr. Taylor Jones Watson case and the Virginia B. Todd case, which was tried five times. Dr. Watson was charged with the mur- der of his wife. Mrs. Todd was accused of killing her daugitvter through jealousy. Then Mrs. Treat took the depositions at Hannibal in the Dr. Joseph C. Herne libel case against a San Francisco newspaper, a proceeding which resulted in Dr. Herne’s being arrested for the murder of Amos Stillwell. Herne was acquitted. “If I had the gift of placing on pa- per the dramatic scenes I have been close to in. a courtroom,” remarked Mrs. Treat, “I could tell a tale that would excel anything yet produced by those literary men who turn out the ‘penny dreadfuls’ for ambitious youth. Some- times I see the defendants in my dreams, tugging at the bars and shaking their chains; never in my waking hours, for I am a practical mortal, and evi- dence means only so many folios to me. Humor in Jester Case. “I expect the Jester case contained more of what you call human interest than any ether case I ever reported, but in looking back over that exciting trial—it occurred in 1900—I remember most the humorous things—not the ghastly. | “I guess you'll smile at what I re- member of the case, but this is what it was: That the little courtroom was full of women, who had babies that did more or less squawling, to the great discom- fort of a very dignified attorney for the prosecution from Chicago. He seemed to think it a personal affront for those women to have babies that cried, and he spoke to our good-natured Judge Eby about it. The Judge just smiled and said: “We'll try to make the witnesses talk louder than the babies.’ “The line of spectators would begin forming at the courthouse door at 6 in the morning, and they would wait pa- tiently until 8:30, when the doors were opened. Those of the crowd who could not get in would hold their place until the noon adjournment, when some of those inside would go to dinner and the outsiders would rush for their places. A great many brought lunch and if they g0t in would stay in all day. “The defense made a great deal of old man Jester and his white hairs. He Fat by a table, keenly interested and watching every new face that went on the stand. At one stage of the case Jester’s daughter, who it seems had just arrived, pushed threugh the crowd and, making her way to her father, threw her arms around his neck and wept. The newspapers called it ‘a most dramatic and affecting scene.’ I was a little astonished in learning from one paper that she was ‘beautiful.’ If ste- nographers took as much .upon them- selves as some newspaper réporters, the records presented te the Supreme Court wouldn’t be half.ge dry. Often Disagrees With Jury. “In the Jester, Watson, Todd and oth- er murder cases I formed an unalterable opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants long before the trials were half over, and in some instances my conviction and that of the Jury's was very different. The reporter, per- haps more than anyone connected with the trial, is sensitive to the prevaricat- ing and elusive witness. There is a shifting of expression, a mannerism of aay

the action of my heart, and my bowels were in a wretched condition. _ “T tried everything I could hear of for relief, but to no purpose. I began to feel that there was no hope for me. I could do scarcely any work at all, and felt most miserable all the time. I had neither strength nor ambition— everything was a drag, even my very existence. I could neither eat, slce nor work. Life did not seem wor “For some time I had been noticing the advertisements of the Cooper remedies in the papers, and seeing a number of statements from people who claimed to have been greatly benefited through their use, and whose trouble was very similar to my own, I made up my mind to try once more—it could do harm if it did no good. So I bought a bottle of Cooper’s New Discovery and began taking it. “I began to improve from the first dose, and grew better rapidly. My ap- petite was digestive or- an and my bowels were put i condition. I took a hal and am today in better Naat last summer | ty-five gallons of blackbe doing my other work.

Speech, so subtle that it may be un- marked even by the examiner, but the reporter detects it in the mechanical at- tempt to follow, and knows the witness i; dodging the truth as well as if he' shouted it from the housetops. “The largest case, in point of record, I ever reported was that of Benezette Williams & Co., a Chicago engineering and contracting firm, against the Atch- ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. It was for $200,000, amount claimed to be due on final estimates for building a portion of the road through Missouri. The main issue was whether,Northern Missouri soil was hard-pan or not. We were six weeks on the case and the transcript made about 10,000 pages. My fees in this case were a little over $2000, but I had some assistance, It took a dray to haul the records. “The hardest witnesses? Negroes and women. They first because they do not pronounce their words, but have a sort of abbreviated system which the,report- er can only guess a unless well up in negro dialect. A woman its hard be- cause she is usually anxious to tell her story as quickly as possible and get away. She don’t like to testify, and can’t see the sense in s6@ many questions. When she takes the stand she knows what she wants to say, and generally sails in to ease her mind as rapidly as possible, without paying any attention to commas, semicolons and full stops. Then, if she has a griev- ance, her story is likely to abound in interminable detail, arranged in what- ever sort ef order occurs to her. The re- porter’s job of straightening her testi- mony out is about as hopeful as that of the printer Who undertook to set his paper from a box of pied type, “It’s easier to report a case before an impressive United States court than be- fore a justice of the peace. A reporter never gets scared where there’s plenty of dignity. Dignity means deliberation, precision in speed and conduct. You can hear well and write accurately. In a justice’s court there are times when the squire, both lawyers and liti- gants are talking at the same time, with the witness trying te mix.in the melee. “T believe no reporter ever becomes so competent that stage fright is en- tirely eliminated from the work.

To’ say that any shorthand writer can put down accurately what- ever is said, without understanding what it is all about, is a mistake.

You never get through studying. “IT believe the courts will, in the days to come, offer a good fleld for women. It is a work to which they take nat- urally, and they seem to succeed very well.

No Railroad Can Get a Monopoly.

Tf lack of money temporarily.pre- vents the building of railroad ap- proaches to the Free Bridge on both sides of the river, that leading into the Mill Creek Valley ought to be eliminated in favor of the one tn Hast St. Louis, according to Chairman Ar- thur B. Barrett of the United Free Bridge Committee. This statement Mr. Barret made last evening to a reporter for the Post- Dispatch in answer to Councilman Schneiderhahn’s announcement that for the lack of funds the city can- not buy land and let contracts for the railroad approach in East 8t. Louis. “T don’t concede that the city can- not finance the east approach,” said Mr. Barret, “but if that’s the situg- tion, we can divert the money appro- priated for the connection into the Mill Creek Valley and expend it to better advantage in providing an ad- equate inlet from the east. Meant to Compete With Terminal. “The prfmary purpose of the bridge was that it should gizve competition with the Terminal monopoly, free the city from exorbitant tolls on its com- merces and especially afford railroads the facilities to enter St. Louis without embargo. “To say now, even in effect, that a wagon bridge is sufficient, is to repeat the views expressed in a special report made by Mr. McPheeters to the Busi- ness Men's League several years ago. That recommendation was voted down then and it is hardly pertinent or proper now. “As the bridge is now planned, with a divergency north and south into pub- lic highways, where no railroad can ex- ercise any rights as against the city, we have protection from a monopoly on this side of the river, even though one of the three approaches ends in the Ter- minal’s territory. ‘To gafeguard the east end of the bridge is now the paramount considera- tion. For that reason we could, if we found it imperative, spend on the east railroad approach what we now con- template expending in St. Louis for a connection with the Mill Creek Valley. “Former City Counselor Bates only last spring gave an opinion in which he held that funds from the general revenue can be devoted to the building of the Free Bridge. With that in mind, i.am not greatly impressed by this talk of issuing more bonds or postponing ccmpletion of a competitive bridge. 1 think the money can be found. “The necessity for a long approach on the East Side is plain. Unless we reach friendly territory and plan to allow as many railroads as possible to use the bridge, it may as well be abandoned. Would Give First Road Control. “To complete the bridge with a mere siub of an approach would hamper ac- cess to it and give the first road that ecnnected with it practical control over those which came later. “Once we carry the bridge somewhere east of the lllinois tracks, however, we ean dictate the conditions on which it shall be used. We must remember that in the Charter there is a provision that ary railroad or other public utility that Cesires to cross the bridge must have a franchise. In that grant we could stip- ulate in what manner a railroad could cennect with the bridge. “We must try to accommodate the cOal carriers, because cheap and plenti- ful fuel is the prime requisite of our srowth. These roads have relatively small capital, and we must not leave them to the mercy or the caprice of the big systems.” Mayor Kreismann and Comptroller Taussig have expressed much c6ncern at the suggestion that the east railroad approach to the bridge be built at this time. They both comfend that to un- dertake an expenditure of $1,250,000 fer the purpose now would give the admin- istration much embarrassment. In the estimates for next fiscal year, the city will have to set aside from the municipal revenue about $1,200,000 more than was segregated during the last year of Mayor Wells’ administration. Interest to Be Met. The interest on the $11,200,000 of bonds authorized in 1996 will have to be paid a8 a whole for the first time next year. That will take $448,000. For the sinking fund $560,000 will be required. In addi- tion to those charges, there must be pro- vision for the new hospital, the new in- Sane asylum and several parks, tnclud- ing Fairground. These allotments will aggregate $150,000. If besides that large Sum $1,250,000 were withdrawn from the revenue to build the approaches, Mayor Kreismann saya, many other public im- provements would have to be wholly atandoned or indefinitely deferred. To sell more bonds, even if popular spproval could be oebtained, Mayor Aelsmann says, would bring the oity to within less than $5,000,000 of the con- stitutional limit of indebtedness and leave no margin for a probable issue in behalf of the River des Peres which the administration wants to convert into a sewer. _It s apparently to anticipate the suc- cess of any move to force an tion for the bridge that the Mayor's spokesmen in the City Council—Mr. Schnelderhahn, Mr. Schutz and Presi- dent Gundlach—have attempted to gag ion of any bill, resolution or re monstrance on the subject of the

The fire spread so rapidly that the dancers found their retreat cut off by the flames. Bleven of the guests were burned to death, and although the lives of the newly-wedded couple were save, they were both so terribly burned that they had to be taken to the hospital at Papese.

Written fer the New York World and BY WALTER S. MAYER, Postoffice Inspector in Charge, New York, NEW YORK, Dec. 11. HERE are 150,000 men and women T in the Federal classified service. These faithful employes, as they become superannuated, should be _ re- tired on old-age pensions by the Gov- ernment. Today we have 5000 old men and old women who ought to receive the benefit of such a Bystem of pen- sions. The most plausible, and, I may say, the most effective attack that is heard against this proposal is that the adop- tion of any such measure would mean a cival pension, which is contrary to the genius of the American Republic. These expressions, “civil pensions’ and “genius of the American Republic,” are so filled with mystic suggestion that to the unthinking they are accepted as a final settlement of the whole ques- tion. They are what the whistling buoy is to the mariner. The sound is omi- neous and warns of danger. Just why or how a civil pension of the kind consid- ered here would endanger the republic, we, who favor it, are unable to see. On the contrary, we maintain that it would give added gtrength to the spirit and purpose of the republic by pro- viding a more practical, economice] and business-like methed of administering its affairs. ,Let us analyze fer a moment the meaning of this phrase “‘civil pension.’’ Under some governments, particularly tnose of monarchia] form, when a citi- zen has rendered great service to the State he receives a money annuity for life, often accompanied by a title of no- bility. Fer instance, when the speaker of the House of Commons of the Brit- ish Parliament retires he receives a life annuity of $25,000 and knighthood, if that title has not already been con- ferred. When the Curies, husband and wife, gave to the world a few years ago their discovery of radium, the french government granted each a life annuity. These two instances will serve to illustrate how a government may create one class of citizens to be su - ported by another, a system, which, if adopted in this country, might in time have the effect of s'owly and insidiously altering our form of government. This is the fear of those who cry out against ‘| clvil pensions, and the fear igs not with- out some degree of reason: To Deposit Percentage of Salary. Adoption by this Government of some Such plan as that proposed for the retirement of superanuated civil servic: employes is an altogether different mat- ter, and would in no way tend to cre- ate class distinctiong in the sense of a civil pension, as the term is commonly understood. The employe will deposit with the Government a percentage of the salary he receives, whieh in due time, will make an ample fund for his retirement on an annuity. This plan will take care of the future, but un‘or- tunately it does not meet the exigencies of the present. When the republic was first estab- lished the number of its civil employes Was necessarily small, but just how small cannot now be determined. We know that Benjamin Franklin, the first Postmaster-General, was allowed one clerk, and, presumably, the other de- partments were provided for in propor- tion. Consequently at that time the Civil Service was a smal) item of gov- ernmenta] consideration. As the coun- try grew in population so the Civil Serv- ice grew in numbers, and when Jackson became President it was of sufficient importance to call forth his famous “To the victor belongs the spoils.” In the first year of his administration he re- moved 990 officers, although his prede- cessor, John Quincy Adams, in four years had removed only two. There- efter the dominant political party chose its own Civil Service employes, so that with the change of administration al! or nearly all of the officers were changed. This condition continued for 60 years under what was termed the “spoils system,” until] 18%, when the present Civil Service law became ef- fective. Under this law all appointments in the classified Civil Service are made through the Civil Service Commission after examination of the applicant for educational and physical qualification end without political consideration. Dis- missals from the service can be made only upon charges, which the aceused is permitted to anewer. The effect of this law in the 25 years of its existence has been that a very large number of em- p:oyes who were in the service when it became operative have held their places. The total number of employes now in the classified service is about 160,000, and of these about 5000, as I have seid, are old men and women—#, 70, 80 years old. It ts for these that immediate pro- vision is sought from the Government. Expense to Taxpayer No Greater. This brings us to the expense a

INET ee EE ET et Ne . in this report that the loss to the Gov- ernment through the superannuatien of its employes is estimated at $1,200,000 an- nually. Taking these figures as a basis, the net cost to the taxpayer would be about $900,000 a year for a period of forty years. But if the present system is per- mitted to remain, as time passes the loss through superannuation will in- crease rapidly, and at the end of forty years, instead of having paid $32,000,000 for retiring superannuated employes, the taxpayer will expend double or treble that sum for seeping them in office. The loss or gain to the taxpayer cannot be given in dollars and cents, but he will be amply compensated by the increased efficiency in the public service. Just one example to explain the term ‘Noss by superannuation.’’ Say we have a letter carrier who has been in the service 3% years. Letter carriers are re- quired to walk from ten to twenty miles oc day, carrying their sacks, which often- times weigh as much as 75 pounds. This eld carrier begins to break. The dis- tance and the weight of the load are re- duced from time to time, until at last one or two miles a day with a load of 10 pounds is all he can bear. He still receives full pay, $1200 a year, although he is performing only about one-fifth service, and frequently not that much. Multiply this instanoe by 10 and it will be scen that the Government is paying $12,000 for $2490 worth of work, a loss by superannuation of §9600. When we ex- tend these figures from 10 employes to 6000, the number of such cases as are now estimated to exist in the classified service, the enormous loss to the Gov ernment is evident. It may fairly be held that an estab- lished provision for old age to the Gov- ernment employe will attract the more competent to its service, and, if this pro vision be made to reward the employe 80 as to retire him upon the basis of his compensation during his entire period of service, as is now contemplated, it will be an tncentive to work for promotion. The greater the salary the greater will be the annuity. Nearly all the civilized countries fn the world, and all the leading countries except the United States, have adopted civil service employes. Several of the larger cities—New York, Chicago and Washington—have made provision for retiring their policemen, firemen and school teachers. The fact that many of the leading corporations in this country have made similar provision establishes the business value _of the plan, so that in seeking retirement of superannuated employes of the Federal Government we are following the trend of the times. The humanitarianism of the move- ment is obvious. Though it is some- times urged that when an employe be- comes unfit he should be dismissed from the service, the strength of American sentiment is against so harsh and unjust a course. Example ef Atavism., I remember that some years ago there stood on Pennsylvania avenue in Wash- ington, day in and day out, rajn or shine, an old man selling maps of the city. His continued calling ‘“‘Maps of Washington, Washington maps,” in a high, piping voice, jarred the ear of the passer by. He had been an accountant in the Treasury Department for 60 years, but when he became blind, he head to wo; there was no place for him' His savings had been lost in an unfor- tunate investment, and the only way hé could cling to the few days of life remaining for him was to become a street supplicant. Will any taxpayer in the nation gay that was fair treat ment for an old and faithful servant of the people? Did it not savor of ata- viem, leading back to the uncivilized races who killed their old people to be rid of the burden of feeding them? To the argument that the civil service employe should save sufficient from his salary to provide for his old age, our —_—-— = Kokomo Woman Gives Fortune To Help Women Who Snuffer. Bome time ago it was announced tn these columns that she would send free treat- ment to every woman who suffered from fernale allments or piles. in stving yon Fa treat- ore than a million women have accept- his generous offer, and as Mrs. Miller etili receiving requests from thousands women from ail parts of the world.

| sei¢-supporting. Mr. Goulden also stated | | some plan of retiring superannuated | answer is that we wish it might be 8°. But, as the average salary in the clas- sified service is only a little more than $1000 & year, it is the exception where this is more: than sufficient to meet the demands ef the ever-increasing cost of living. Now, to sum up. The passage of @ law providing for superannueted civil service employes would not be con- trary to the spirit of our Government. The burden placed on the taxpayer by such @ law would not be any greater, or even so great, as he has to bear under the present system. It is im- practicable, if not impossible, for the civil service employe to provide for his own retirement without Government assistance and supervision. This movement is now being supP- ported and urged by the United States Civil Service Retirement Association, an

most insurmountable opposition, and now has the matter before Congress. We are assured that if the people can be made aware of the existing condi- tions the relief sought will speedily be granted. On behalf of the United States Civil Service Retirement Association, we have asked that the movement receive the consideration of the National Civic Federation. If they will give their strong helping hand the fight will be won.

Every Class of Savings Deposits In- creased in a Year. From Consular Reports. A report from the Irish Department of Agriculture indicates an appreciable im- provement in Irish thrift. In June, 1908, as compared with a corresponding period in 198, there was an increase of approximately $9,400,000 in deposits in Irish joint-stock banks and of aboeut $2,900,000 in savings bank deposits. The increase in postoffice deposits on Dec. 31, 1908, compared with Dec. 31, 1907, was $102,500, while the increase in Government fund, India stock invest- ment, etc., on which dividends are pay- abie at the Bank of Ireland, amounted

to $68,000,000.

a Secretary, Who is 56 and Only Five Foot Two and Always Has Chip on His Shoulder, Now Dares Zelaya.

4 By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—‘‘The big lit- tle man” is what they call Philander Chase Knox, Secretary of State, wh) through all the 56 years of his life has been carrying a chip, if not on his shoulders, at least somewhere about him. As a matier of fact, there is no logica! reason to suppose that a five-foot-two man, even 2 statesman, who wears }215 hat at a careless angle, keeps hi¢ hands in his pockets and smokes constantly without removing the cigar for a puff, is belligerent. And when one goes into the barn-like room of the Secretary of State and, after a search, finds the Sec- retary sitting on the back of his neck in a chair built for a much larger man, looking up with the sleepy eyes of P. C. Knox, any ‘ndication of force of char- acter seems imy-ossible. Kyes Not Always Sleepy. A vague inquiry bores the Secrecaiy of State: It indicates to him that the visitor does not know just what he wants and Mr. Knox settles a little furiher into the enveloping chaitc and grunts. The fighting spirit does not aj- pear’ until someone rubs against the ecrcealed chip. Shen the sleepy eyes g.ere. / Mr. Knox has been “scrapping’’ all his life. He started in at school and, being small for his age, was regularly whipped. When Mr. Knox was Attor- ney-General of the United States he tried to pass a quiet few days at At- lantic City. Seated in a restaurant on friends, among them Mrs. Knox and other ladies, h« was disturbed by the unconventional language of some other Pittsburgers at a near-by table. Mr. Knox sent a pol‘te request that the noise and profanity stop. This was conveyed by a waiter who returned, followed by a Pittsburg iron manufacturer, six feet two or | Mr.

three, and fired with wine and iadig- nation. . Mr. Knox quietly asked that the ladies take a stroll on the Board Walk, which they did, and then the “big little man” started in to clean up things. Physi- cally, he was outclassed, Friends rushed to the aid of the iron manufacturer, but Mr. Knox also had friends, one them being a member of the Circuit Court who had been pining for exercise. This friend put all the pent-up longivg into three or four blows and things quieted down. Wins Chain of Victories, In the-Northern Securities case, when Knox was Attorney-General, he made preparations that passed over al! party lines and that resulted in an un- interrupted chain of victories through the courts. He selected lawyers every- where in the United taStes whom he knew, without regard to whether they were Republicans or Democrats. He was fighting again. And at that time the comment was made that Mr. Knox was a most careless and probably in- effective official, as he lounged across Lafayette Park to the White House with his hat insecurely set at an angle and his hands in his pockets. Zelaya, in the Knox mind, is a de- generate disturber and has become a murderer. With quick perception the Secretary siezed upon the admission of Zelaya that Cannon and Groce, the Americans killed by Zelaya, were offi- cers of the revolutionary army. So Mr. Knox has sent out a police alarm for the apprehension of a murderer. If the Estrada Government succeeds, Zelaya will be tried and punished for murder. If it becomes necessary for the United States to establish a provi- sional government, Zélaya will be tried for murder. In the meantime all com- manders of United States warships on both sides of Nicaragua are under or- ders to see that Zelaya does not escape. Secretary Knox is out to ‘‘get’’ Zelaya.

ROW IN AERO CLUB Insurgents Trying to Get Con- trol of the New York Organization,

By Leased Wire rom the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, came down from Lenox, Mass., this morning for ene day’s stay. No one at the Aero Club knows anything of any intention on the part of anyone to begin injunction proceedings to pre- vent the award of the aeroplane con- tests to St. Louis. That mater is as yet in abeyance. The impression has always been strong here that the internatioral speed contest for the cup won by Glenn Cur- tiss at Rheims last August will be held in New York, despite the fact that the weather bureau reports show New York to be the least desirable spot in the country for aeroplane flying. The av- erage wind velocity here is 13 miles an hour, and even during the summer below eight miles an hour. When Glenn Curtis} was making his flights over the Hempstead Plains pre- paratory to going to Rheims, he found the only available time for flying to be between 4 and 8 o’clock in the morning and just before sunset in the evening, but despite all this people who are in a p: sition to «now seem confident the contest will come--here. May Go Farther West. The balloon race will go West farther than St. Louis if Kansas City or Omaha can be induced to make bids. The rea- son of this is to give room for a greater flight. Experience has shown that un- less the balloons can be induced to take a northeasterly course from ‘it. Louis so as to bring them over New York State, avoiding the great lakes, the pres- ent records cannot be bettered. At the office of the Aero Club it is not thought likely the matter of thak- ing awards of the two international events will be taken up for at least a month yet and probably longer. The club happens to be at present in the throes of a bitter fight between the ad- ministration and outs, led by Lee 8S. Burridge. The club is a regularly in- corporated body, with five stockholders, who are all directors, and therefore have entirely in their hands the elec- tion of officers. Some six weeks ago when it came time for the annual election, the insur- rection broke forth. An opposition ticket to that of the administration was pul in the fieid. The insurgents sought an injunction to prevent the use of proxies by the oppo- sition, but it was denied, and the ad- Field Bishop, was easily successful. This election was only a matter of form as the members, instead of actually voting for the two tickets, merely ‘‘indicated their preference.”’ Insurgents Still to Act. The Burridge fatcion, however, has not quit fighting, and is now ready to ask a writ of injunction to prevent the of- ficeholders from appropriating or using any of the funds in the treasury until a full accounting of money already col- lected in the way of initiation fees, dues and profits from aeronautic events has been made. When the fight began it was regarded as more or less of a trivial af- fair, but it has now become exceeding- ly bitter and promises to be fought out to the end with a possible schism as the outcome. If a break comes it is not impossibie the seceding element may ally them- selves with the American Automobile Association, which has for some time been considering a plan to so enlarge its scope as to take in aviation, to the end that there may be a national aero club whieh will be national in fact as well as in name, If this plan should develop the affili- ated clubs outside of New York would be recognized and given memberhsip in the board of governors and votes on all matters pertaining to aviation, such‘ as the award of tournaments or trials. Plan to Choose Pilots. . According to the present plans of the Aero Club of America, it is intended to choose the pilots for the international balloon race by elimination — trial instead of the directors of the Aero Club making the selection. This will give St. Louis a chance for a bet- ter representation in the matter of pi- lots than could be secured by the ap- pointment method. With all the eligi- bles St. Louis can put into the con- tests it would be considered hard luck indeed if at least twod did not qualify. These elimination trials may take the place of a regular championship tourna- ment next year. -

COL. LAIRD ‘SHOOTS BETTER THAN CRACK POLICE SHOT

Pistol by Defeating Sergt. Sears With it In a Target Contest.

As proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the pistol is in the shooting. That was what Col. John A. Laird, president of the Po- lice Board, said to Police Sergt. Sid- ney Sears, crack shot of the Police Department, when the Sergeant com- plained that the shortness of the bar- rel of the new police revolver mili- tated against its accuracy. Col. Laird said the barrel was plenty long enough with the right kind of a man behind it and Sergt: Sears said it wasn't any such thing and they had it back and forth that way until Col. Laird suggested that they shoot it out—af a target. Sears was “game,” and they went to the nearest “one gallery and opened fire. Laird Dente the Expert. Here let it be set down, as apart from the barrel controversy, the pres- ident of the Board made a better score than the expert of the de- partment. He made 37 hits out of a possible 60 and Sergt. Sears made only 84. Col. Laird is modest about

it. .“It was my lucky day,” he says. “TJ don’t pretend to be a crack shot— well, ofcourse, I have done a little shooting in my time, but luck was on my side.” The argument ended with each more firmly fixed in his opinion than before. Col. Laird thought that a revolver with which he could beat the crack shot of the department must. be mighty near all right and Sergt. Sears was more than ever convinced that there must be some- thing wrong with a revolver that he could not shoot with any better than he did. But. he has been practicing with it since the shooting match, determined to find out how Col. Laird did it and yes- terday he made a perfect score. So he thinks perhaps it is all right after all. Col. Laird says the barrel is as long as can be conveniently carried and that there are other features which make up for any advantage that there might be in a longer barrel. He likes particular- ly the safety device, which makes it sure that the weapon will never be dis- charged until the man who caries it Wants it to.

POLICE SEE ri qasts have gone to fail, jstrengthens and tones the whole PAPER Fan GIAL'S CHARGES Elizabeth Gurley Flynn’s Story of Jail Treatment Is Suppressed.

IS ALLEGED LIBEL Publishers Told That No More Copies Must Be Printed.

Special to the Post-Diepatch. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 11.—Witn po- licemen stationeil at the door vf the printing shop to see that no papers escaped their vigilance, Chief of Poiice Sullivan of Spokane today stopped the presses running off this week’s issue of the Industrial Worker, an organ of the local body of Industrial Workers of tlie World, and confiscated the entire is- sue because it is alleged to have cun- tained inflammatory libelous articies. Fully 7000 copies were seized. One of the articles to which the police take exceptions is by Elizabeth Gurley Fiynn of Seattle, 19 years old, who Thursday was sentenced for. three months for conspiracy to incite a riot. She has appealed. Her story is similar to letters she wrote to a Seattle labor publication, which was suppressed, and to the Appeal to Reason. It contains unprintable charges concerning the con- duct and lunguage of the police who had her in custody for violating the “street speaking’’ ordinance prior to her arrest on the conspiracy charge. Injunction Is Sought. The Chief of Police and Prosecutor Pugh state positively that their order that no more of the papers be printed will be enforced. et for an in; junction to compel the organization to stop printing the paper has been filed and similar proceedings were instituted against the printing company. The printing company was informed early this morning of probable police proceedings, but printed the paper un- tl’ they were officially ordered to stop. The form has now been taken from the press ard no attempt is being made to use it. This action will cause the la- bor: body to cease its efforts to publish an official paper tn Spokane, but it is declared arrangements will be made to have a paper printed somewhere out- side and that it will be circulated in the city just the same. Editors Are Locked Up. James Wilson, now - jail on a crim- inal conspiracy charge, was managing editor of the Industria. Worker. E.

LABOR MEN RALLIED AROUND GIRL AT MISSOULA, MONT. MISSOULA, Mont., Dec. 11.—Eliza- beth Gurley Fiynn, formerly known as a Socialist worker of New York’s East Side, came to Missoula to organize a local union of the Industrial Work- ers of the World. Fiery denunciation of all authority characterized the ad- dresses given for a few evenings -on the streets. Then came arrests and Elizabeth Gurley-Flynn- went to jail with her adherents, She was released without a trial after two days, but scores of her ad- herents were kept behind the bars. Soon after regaining her freedom— she told Sheriff Graham, “I'll prob- ably be back”—the girl sent an ap- peal to the coast and at once the meetings became more riotous and every night more arrests were made. The demonstrations culminated inan attack on the County Jail. A show of force cooled the mob’s ardor. CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR WOMAN'S SKELETON IN INSANE ASYLUM Superintendent Scored by Grand Jury When He Fails to Explain Mystery. NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 11.—A skeleton in the attic of the county insahe asylum ere has proved so effective a witness that the grand jury handed down to- diay a presentment c&aracterizing Dr. Daniel M, Dill, the superintendent, as incompetent, and recommending his re- moval. Dr. Dill was unable to account for the skeleton, that of a woman. No woman, according to his“books, has died in the institution since 1890. The grand jury retorts that if the skeleton is not that of an inmate, it mtist be that of a visitor, and recom- mends that the mreerwetion be con- tinued.

Dufour, 2% years old, mana- ger of the Gem moving picture theater, who was arrested in St. Louts Thurs- day on information from New York City that he was wanted on an embez- glement charge, explained last night that the charge was made by his wife, whom he left in November. He says the warrant was a ruse to get him back home and says he will go back without a requisition. Dufour confessed there is a warrant against him in Buffalo, N,.

And there are all the latest devices for modern warfare—submariné boats, ocean greyhounds and soldiers mount- ed and afoot. Indeed, you may well tremble for the Safety of the reins of progress now so secure in your own hands. And I am wondering if there are not double causes for alarm.

HE dolls of today—well, the flax- en-haired, chubby-cheeked, Inno- | ‘cent beauties in flounced skirts and sashes with which you are most familiar simply hide their blushes in shame for their rustic appearance in the presence of the sheath. gowned, dec- olette, picture-hatted young lady dolls from Gay Paree whose vogue is so in- sisted upon. They are fit patterns for the most ultra fashionable society belle of grown-up land, in fact, as they pose and pirouette and roll their eyes around they look like nothing so much as per- fectly stunning show girls, and indeed it is known that elegant bachelors have ‘a craze for collecting these chic dolls to adorn their own apartments. Yes, you are justified in sighing that “dolldom’’ was never like this when you were a girl. These worldly images don’t seem quite virtuous to me. ‘Do you intend to let your little girl play with these beautiful monstrosities of fashion?’ I overheard one woman ask. To be sure she was somewhat of a frump herself. “Yes, indeed,’’ came the reply from ker friend, who looked more modern. “‘I do not intend that my daughter shall become identified with dowdiness. These eerly impressions are most important. She might just as well be identifying herself with taste. Growing up fastid- icus, she will avoid the acquairitance of shabby persons.” How ‘true!

gay anything about that. I have nothing to say until the Danes have given their decision. Edward Devoy: It’s too hard a / problem for a coal man. My idea is that if you can’t prove the. contrary, you have to believe what hé says. He was a big advertisement for the city, whether he found the pole or not. I don’t see any reason to doubt his word. These latest affidavits do not {impress me. I have no faith in fellows who go into crooked business and then because they don’t get as much out of it as they want, retalt- ate with affidavits. L. D. Dozier: Ask the Danes. I “never like to believe a man guilty until ‘he is proven guilty. I don’t like to jump at conclusions. I do not feel that I know enough about it to judge Dr. Cook. I was with Mr. Nugent in New York and we saw him several times there. I thought ‘he was all right then and I thought he was all right when I heard his lecture in St. Louis. When a man is going down hill ‘‘everything seems to be greased for the occasion,” as Artemus Ward says. I feel like with- holding judgment. I want to have charity toward all. I don’t want to jump On a man just because every- body else does. William H. Thomson: I confess that I lost faith in Cook some time ago. I was favorably impressed at first, but I don’t like his recent mode of procedure; Recent developments have all tended to confirm my doubts. Still, I may be all off on it. It is only my individual opinion. Cc. P. Walbridge: I have not been paying any attention to the contro- yersy. It is so mixed up that a layman, busy with other things, can- not have an epinion of value. James H, MeTague: I believed in him then. If these recent affida- vits are all right, it looks bad for him. Still, it may all be a plet and a conspiracy. . I hear€ Br. -Cook’s “lecture and I heard Peary’s.

Nobody can be entirely satisfied with a thing that is in dispute, We merely accepted the action of the Danish Government. -. But since that he has been acting very strangely. That is all that I can say. That ts al] that-I know about it. Tom Randolph: I am from the Sunny South and do not belong to any of the arctic clubs, and have not made that. business a study. I do not fancy this weather, which the Post-Dispatch weather bird says would make Cook and Peary feel at home. I served on the Cook re- ception committee by reason of my membership in the Business Men’s League. They wanted a drawing card for the Centennial and the peo- ple wanted to see and hear Dr. Cook. St. Louis men went after him and got him, and he drew the crowds. If the doctor has been to the pole he is interesting, as one of the most prominent explorers. If he has not ‘been there, he still is) interesting as being one of the most prominent members of the Ananias Club. Am ‘obliged to confess I have not kept up with the matter lately, and re- gret to have no late opinion on the subject. W. J. Kinsella: I have implicit faith in Dr. Cook. I talked with him when he was in St. Louis and believe his statements. Until the scientists at Copenhagen declare that his rec- ords are not true I will be loyal to him. 0. L. Whitelaw: My confidence in Dr. Cook is considerably shaken. Some of the things which have hap- pened recently are hard to under- stand. I dislike to discredit Dr. Cook, but I anxiously await the report of the Danish scientists. Mayor F. H. Kreismann: =I haven’t got as far as the North Pole yet. I am teo busy now think- ing about the Terminal] Railway. Rolla Wells; I formed a most favorable opinion of Dr. Cook when I met him, and believed that he had reached the pole. I have been in Mexico, and out of touch with the controversy for two weeks, and have not read the recent developments, but it weuld take a lot to cause me to alter my opinion of Dr. Cook. D. R. Calhoun; Iam not an Arc- tic expert, but I had no reason to doubt Dr. Cook’s story when he was here and nothing has hap- pened since to cause me to change my opinion. I think him honest. Col. E. J. Spencer: When Dr. Cook was here, I sized him up to be a FAIRLY sincere man. I believed his story of his trip to the pole. Nothing has come out since to cause me to doubt him. Dan C. Nugent, who, as the agent of the Business Men’s League, contracted for Dr. Cook’s appearance in St. Louis, was not in St. Louts last night. His friends, however, say he is stil] loyal to the ex* plorer, a

Who Talked to Alrna Kell- ner’s Mother. IS NEW CLEW Physician and Pediler Certain They Saw Child in Cus- tody of Couple. yf al to the Post-Dispatch. ; UsSVILLE, Ky., Dec. 11.—A shab- bily dressed steaneor: giving his name ad Sinking, drove to the lh«wne of Alma Keliner, 507 East Broadway. whom the Police believe to nave |.een ki Inaped last Wednesday, late tocay, dec@aring he eould produce the little girl. Pressed feo dctails by the mother, M:ts. F. L. liner, the man became frightened by the gathering crowd and drove away hurriedly, and is now being sought by ‘the police and detectives, in Mr. Kell- ' Rer's automobile. Dr. Charles Jones, a local physician, -; and Isadore Lepler, Jewish peddler, i ) bo*h reported to the police late this , afternoon that they had seen the child in a@ wagon with a man and, woman on the Charleston Pike, between Jeffer- sonville and Charleston, Ind Dr. Jones Says that he and his wife were asked by the man how far it was-to Cincin- nati and told the driver to inquire at Charleston. Later they. remembered the 'gptory of the disappearance of the Kell- | ner child, a likeness of whom they had seen in the covered wagon. They turned and drove back to Char- } leston, but could not locate the driver " on the wagon. Eivery rumor save these two have been followed to a fruitless end by the police. Mayor William O. Head has gone into the case. He held conferences today with Chief of Police Lindsey and l'red ‘FP Keliner Jr., father of the miesinse clijid, Later he said that he and the city officials will do everything in their power to seek the return of the girl and that he has secured the assistance of po- - lice departments in every city in Ken- tucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio to this end.

One hundred members of the Engin- eers’ Club of St. Louis and the local) branch of the American Society of Me- chanica! Engineers inspected the Ashley street power plant of the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Co. as guests of the ROR PANY yesterday afternoon. a torerunner cf a joint id te nica] enginecring meeting which was held last night at the Engineers’ Club of St. Louis at 3817 Olive street. Chief Engineer. Hutter of the Union Electrie invited the engineers and acted as host. The visitors were at the plant at the foot of Ashley street from 2:30 to 5 p. m. and inspected every department. They saw the big turbine engines and all the other apparatus used by the company. fter all parts of the plant had been inspeeted and explained by Mr. Hatter, light refreshments were served. G. R. Parker of the General Electric Co. was the principal speaker at the joint meeting last night when the topic was “The Modern Steam Turbine, High. and Low Pressure.’ The visit to the power plant was planned to give the en- gineers data on tne subject to be dis- cussed later.

HAS $1,000,000 CROP OF CORK - es Missouri’s Production Is of Greater Value This Year Than Ever Before. Special to the Post-Disp.itch, COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. 11.—Migsour! has this'year produced the most valu- able corn crop in her history, not ex- cepting the record-breaking crop of 1902, estimated at 307,364,000 bushels and worth at the prices then prevailing $97,039,000. The value of the present crop reaches $114,844,044—an average of one million dol- lars’ worth of corn for each county in the State. The foregoing facts are brought out in thee December crop report for Missouri, issued today from the office of George B. Ellis, secretary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. The report fol- lows: : Corn. The total yield of corn for the present year is 197,714,946 bushels on an estimated acreage of 7,206,396, the aver- age yield per acre for the entire state being 27.4 bushels, as compared with the ten-year average of 28.8. The season of 1909 opened auspiciously for a large crop. The original acreage was 7,873,490 as compared with 7,205,396 acres planted in 1908, and seldom has a crop started in better shape. In 1908 the flood loss reduced the corn area to 6,487,865 acres. The 1909 loss by floods and overflows is placed at 581,574 acres, leaving the corn acreage for the present year, 717,531 acres greater than last year. More than one-half the flood loss of the present year was in the northwest sec- tion of the State and the high water there, as elsewhere, came when the séa- son was so far advanced as to make replanting impracticable. A continued and wide-spread drouth, which prevailed throughdut the State aguring August and which was especiaily severe and prolonged in the southwest section, reduced the condition of corn from §8 per cent on Aug. 1 to 66 per cent on Sept. 1, a loss of 22 points in thirty days. But for this disastrous drouth the corn yield for 1909—greatest in value —would have been, im bushels, second only to that of the ‘“‘bumper’’ crop of 1992. The quality of the present year's corn crop is 77.6 as compared with 81 last year. The poor quality is due largely to the drouth which checked the growth of the corn when it was in the most criti- cal state—the ‘roasting ear period.”’ The farm price of corn this year ranges generally from 50 to 6 cents per bushel, higher prices prevailing in a few of the drouth-stricken counties in the southwest section, where a limited num- ber of correspondents report corn selling at from 6 to 75 cents per bushel. ‘The average farm price for the entire State, as reported by all our correspondents, is 68.1 cents wer bushel, or 2.1 cents more than last year, and 13.1 cents above the 1907 price. A significant fact is that not one correspondent reported the present farm price below §& cents a bushel.

Barney breeds the fastest products of the horse raiser’'s art, but he travels behind ‘the slowest.

About a mile from the home and while still in the middle of Woodlands; we drove into one of his big foaling barns, a structure 200.by 7% feet and 50 feet wigh.

It is of the big, good-natured, hustling business man, not the lucky Dutchman, as he! is called, with whom we have to, deal. ; And he is a business man, as you would quickly learn if you are a day with him on the farm.

Rutt-Clark Team First in Six-Day Bike Race

NEW YORK, Jec. 11.—Walter Rutt of Germany, and “Jackie’’ Clark of Australia, won the annual six-day bi- cycle race at Madison Square Garden tonight from an exhausted and hope- less field. Their distance of 2660.1 miles for 142 hours, which is 77 miles behind the record of 2737.1 miles made last year by McFarland and Moran, gives no adequate idea of a race which, for broken records, broken precedents and breker. teams, has been the most excii- ing ever seen at the Garden. In the competitive mile exhibition be- tween the two winners that followed the race proper, Rutt defeated his part- ner, Clark, by six inches, although Clark is rated the speediest short distance man in the world, barring only Frank Kramer, the champion. The men di- vided first money—$1600—between them. Second place went by two yards to Joe Folger of Brooklyr who rode & mile against Bobby Walthour of At-/ >) *¢> lania, Ga., and Fred Hill of Boston to decide the tie between the three teams which finished in a bunch behind Rutt and Clark.

CHICAGO, Il, Dee. 1.—The prospect of a baseball] war has no terrors for President Ban Johnson of the American icague. Unmoved by the fact that the election ef John M/ Ward to the pres!- dency of the National is more than a possibility, and realizing that his stand is almost certain to precipitate anoth- er eruption of the baseball vesuvlius, the American's chief «oray reiterated his statement that he would refuse to serve on the National Commission with the New York lawyer as a colleague, and added that his position had been indorsed by every club owner of his cir- enlt. ‘ Ban made one startling - prediction. He prophesied that there. would be base- ball warsin 1910, even it it were averted this ycar. President Johnson said he beileved the B umpire bribery. scandal of 1998 would be. brought up again during the New York meeting. “T will show catite why Murphy and Brush should not become dominate fac- tors in the National League,” declared the president’ of” the —s organiza- lion. ¥ “Dr, Kramer res naan scapegoat in”. that case,” ‘President Johnson. entire twelve months.

Sullivan for heavyweight honors, was a visitor in New York. Referring to the Jeffries- Johnson match, Skelly made gome point- ed comment. “My sympathies are with Jeffries, and I hope that he wins quick- ly,”” declared Skelly, ‘“‘but some of the critics of this match seem to consider Johnson as a very easy man to solve. In my opinion, Johnson is one of the greatest fighters, especially on the de- fensive, that the ring has ever known. Jeffries may not need to be as good as he once was in order to defeat the big negro.” “MUD HEN” LOWERS RECORD. The Jackson “Mud Hen’ this year made the trip from Jackson, Mich., to Bangor, Me., through the hardest sort of weather, rain, sncw and hail, beating the same endurance run time of last year by two days 12 hours and 4 min- utes. Last year’s time for the trip, made two weeks earlier, was seven days, 11 hours. The time for continu- ous driving on the tee ean trip was 123 hours.

FAST SPEED TRIALS AT INDIANAPOLIS Sanction for Meet on New Brick Track Given for Dec. 17 and 18 and Big Events Promised. The dates for the record trials at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Friday and Saturday, Dee. 17 and 18, were granted by the A. A. A. Everything is now ready for the battle of the stal- warts with the marks that have stood for some time, and on the coming days Indianapolis will again be the foremost city in the motor racing world. With auspicious ceremony and ap- pointment the last brick for the brick track of the Motor Speedway, which has cost over $700,000 to complete, will be laid. This will be a solid silver gold- plated brick weighing 8 pounds troy and it will be fastened to the surface. With the granting of the sanction the date is permanent, and the pro- gram for the meeting is being ar- ranged, and will include events for cars of Class 1, 450 to 600 cubic inches; Class 2, 301 to 460 cubic inches; Class 3, 281 to 801 cubic inches; Class 4, 161 to 2%1 cubic inches; Class 5, 161 cubic inches and un- der. Each one of these classes will have trials, and the records in the separate classes will be kept. The list of events will include the one- quarter mile, the one-half mile, the kilo- meter, the one mile, the five mile, the ten mile, the 20 mile, the 50 mile and the 100 mile, also trials for one hour’s run- ning. Records will be gone after in all these events, and it is thought that there will be but few if any left when the star drivers get a good chance on the new brick surface. Practically all of the best known of the fast race drivers will be at the track with their cars to compete in the events, The trials will begin at 1 p. m. Friday and on Saturday Director of Conests Moross will send the cars away at high noon. The nominal admission fee will be 925 cents for.the field stand, the net re- ceipts to be divided among the drivers breaking the records The Brooklands and all other records will be gone after. DRIVERS’ CLUB TROUBLES. The St. Louis Automobile Drivers’ Club is passing through a case of in- ternal indigestion, brought about by an

advertising proposition which has been adopted against the advice of some of the older members. At the meeting of the club Tuesday next the resignation of Jacob Kuhl, who has been the mov- ing spirit and chairman of its executive committee, will be presented. Kuhl, in an effort to save the club from outside influences, so he claims, advised against the aceeptance of advertisements of manufacturers and dealers to be posted in the rooms of the club. Finding it impossible to make the others think as he does, he has resigned. The club has quarters on Delmar boulevard and is made up of the better class of professional automobile driv-

ers of the city.

MANY WANT SPACE IN 1910 AUTOMOBILE SHOW Applications for space the 1910 Automobile Show, to be held at the First Regiment Armory, Feb. 14-19, have been coming in to R. E. Lee, show manager, in great numbers during the week and the applications so far received would take all of the available space if 80 awarded. No awards of space will, however, be made until after Dec. 15, at which time the show committee will meet and care- fully apportion the space, not as ap- plied for, but as found available. It is the purpose of the committee to supply show space to every applicant if possi- ble and to do this many of the requisi- tions for space so far made will be ma- terially cut down. It is considered something of a joke that, in spite of the fact that the deal- ers have been asked to take three “guesses” on the space they want, they have practically all applied for the cen- ter space on the main floor. It is quite evident that somebody is going to be woefully siege OLDS AND OA DAKLAND HERE. W. B.

TIMES SQUARE’S NEW BRANCH. With characteristic business sagacity the Times Square Automobile Co. of New York, which is the largest firm in the world dealing in new and second- hand automobiles, has secured one of the best locations in the automobile district of Philadelphia, where will be opened their fifth branch house. This company now has distributing depots at New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. The new Philadelphia branch will be at 238-240 North Broad street, the site of the pioneer Packard agency in the Quaker City. These new showrooms and repair shops have 9000 square feet of floor space, which will be fitted up with the most approved machinery and auto appliances and promises to be one of the handsomest moter marts in Phil- adeiphia. An immense stock of new and thoroughly overhauled used cars will be carried. PHOENIX’S HOUSE-WARMING. Hundreds of automobilists, dealers and owners, were entertained at the house-warming Saturday afternoon and evening of the Phoenix Auto Supply Co. The company has just moved jnto its handsome new building at 8972-74 Olive street, one of the handsomest and best arranged automobile business houses in St. Louis, and invitations were sent out to 5000 people for the house-warming. Refreshments were served, there was music and late in the evening there were addresses by officers of the company and others. The new building is owned by and was erected especially for the

Louis POST-DISPRTCH SEVEN SONS GREET COUPLE] OLDEN WEDDING IN HOUSE THREATENED 8 FRANCHISE ROW A Public Service Concern Causes Water Famine in Carthage, Mo. ’ “AT MERCY OF FLAMES a Mysterious Visitor Cripples “Plant; City Has No Fire Protection. By yang eae Telephone to the Post-Dispatch, - GARTHAGE, Mo., Dec. 11.—A stranger > who slipped into Carthage early one same day taking with him enough of the machin- @ry to render uselexs the plant which supplied the city with water, is being | eagerly sought by citizens. He came so - quietly and departed so quickly that he ~ geems like a phantom. Not a drop of ‘water comes from the pipes. For 3 hours the city, which has a population ' of 15,000, has been without water and hag practically no protection against fire. The mysterious stranger, the direct cause of the present situation, is an en- ginmeer in the employ of G. Ralph - Leighton, trustee for the bondholders of , the: Carthage Water and Power. Co., “which has been in a 10 years’ fight with i the ‘city, and his action was made pos- | pible by a decision of United States Dis- trict Judge John F. Philips in Kansas ; City Thursday. Judge Philips enjoined the city from interfering in any man- nér with Leighton in his desire to dis- mantle the water plant. Within 24 are after the decision was rendered, i the engineer arrived in Carthage and | took the position of engineer formerly ' held by a Carthage man, and immedi- ‘mately the water pressure began to | jaWindle, and within two shours ther: was no water in the mains. Men searched for him last night, and if he had been found he would undoubt- lis have suffered bodily harm. ' Franchise Fight Is Cause. he only relief expected is through the

mercy of fire and plague. They took no precautions and were entirely unpre- pared when the water pressure began to fail at 3 p. m. Friday. Before 6 o’clock the pressure was entirely gone. When it began to fail, bathtubs, buck- ets and receptacles of aW kinds were filled. Every person who has a well or cistern is. sharing water with his neigh- bors. Water wagons began hauling waiter from springs, wells, cisterns and sma! streams. This water ts being furnishe by the city free, but the capacity of th wagons cannot meet the demand for wa ier, The lack of pressure for sewerage /is causing great\alarm, but all possible JP LEGCGETT'

later withdrew his action and the case Was remanded to the Circuit Court. Leighton then filed in Judge Philips’ court an injunction suit to restrain the city from interfering with him in dis- mantling the plant. The city filed an answer in which Jo- seph P. Leggett, the Mayor, and J. D. Perkins, counsel for the city in the wa- ter litigation, stated the city intended no actions against the company further than the injunction suit pending in the Circuit Court. Judge Philips heard the Federal suit Thursday and held that Leighton had the right to remove the plant or do any- thing else with it that pleased him. The news of the decision was received in Carthage Thursday night. The citi- zens did not believe Leighton would close the plant and put the city at the

precautions against disease are being taken, and City Physician W'ebster be- lieves that if. his instructions are car- ried out there will be nw epidemic. There is a danger that Insurance poli- cies will be cancellea on all Carthage property. That has caused more imme- diate alarm than even the danger of disease. An insurance adjuster. who was recently in the city, made the state- ment that al! nolicies wou!d be can- celled if the water pressure was re- moved. To remedy conditions, every laborer in the city 1s employed, ana nundreds of citizens are themselves working in the ditches, laying water pipes and making connections with bus'ness houses and residences. The pipes through the business district and a smal! portion of the residence district have been in place several days, and these were filled with weter late Saturday by the municipal plant. The Jasper County Courthouse, the larger residences and all buildings heat- ed by steam have been untenable since the water famine, as there has been no pressure for heating plants. The great- er part of the residences and business houses, however, are heated by natural gas. Mayor Leggett today appointed a large force of men to patrol the streets throughout the city to aid in extin- suishing and fire which might start.

Co. York World.) PARIS, Dec. 11.—The troubled ro- mance of Duke Marc de la Sallo-Roche- Maure and of his wife, a beautiful “Maid of Athens,’’ seems to be about to end happily. The interesting details might have remained unknown but that the young Duke's father brought suit in the civil courts at Erensble. to an- nul his son’s marriage. The exciting vicissitudes of this love match began in 1905, when the young Duke married Marika Karousos, a love- ly girl, daughter of an honorable family, poor, but commanding the respect of the community. The Duke’s father was a friend of Pope Leo XIII, who bestowed on him hig title, with the further honor that it descend to the Duke’s entfldren. The oldest son,: Marc, gavé no proofs of early plety. Instead, he sowed his wild oats so freely that his father con- sidered it wise to send him away from Paris in charge of a tutor, an M. Gui- exhibits there. While on | ford, to whom was entrusted the task of . He visited the principal diverting young Marc’s mind to more can ‘Cities and addressed medical } serious thoughts. Tuter Was Blind to Love. . Tutor and pupil arrived in Athens in due time. There the young Duke met Marika Karousos. He fell in love with her. His passion was reciprocated. Aft- er a violent and rapid courtship the young woman engaged herself to marry the Duke. They even complied with the preliminary formalities which the Greek Church demands before marriage before M. Guiférd discovered the attachment. Then, at the instant command of the Duke’s father, Guiford actually kid- naped the young man, puc him on a steamer and went to Vienna with him. But the heroic blood of all the Greeks was inflamed in the. veins of , Marika Karousos. She followed to Vienna and there met Duke Marc at a place he had named in secret correspondence, An embrace, a hurried constltation and the young pair fied back to Ath- ens and were married before the old Duke could intérvene. Duke Marc gave a great bridal banquet and he and his bride’ enjoyed their honeymoon until he spent all+his money. The bridegroom. wrote to his father, who answered, sternly, “return home or be disinherited.” Sadly the young Duke obeyed, His father appealed to Rome to have the marriage annulled. Wife Wins Pope’s Sympathy. But he failed to reckon with the in- demitable Grecian spirit of his son's Wife. She wént to Réme, was admitted ‘to the Pope, and told him truthfully that her baby boy had been bapti#ed, not in the Greek, but in the Roman Catholic Church. His Holiness, im- pressed by her purity and devotion, re- fused to annul her marriage. Infuriated, the father began the suit yes the French civil courts now going On at Grenoble, Soon the Vatican ex- communicated him for not abiding’ by [its detision, The sult for annulment of the marriage fs being fought bitterly. The elder Duke's Jawyers have insin- uated that Marika’s past is not without Free Doctor for Poor. Some years ago a sensational attack was madé on Prof. Politzer in one of ~the’ Vienna newspapers, alleging that he bribed employes of the workhouse to ‘obtain for him the ears of dead paupers ' for anafomical use. In reply he showed two decrees of the City Council by » Which he Was entitled to the ears of aah eerpses in return for gratuitous so 74 poor dector.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright. 1909. by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) BERLIN, Dec. il.—‘It seems to me that more English than German is spok- en around my stall,’’ laughingly re- marked Princess as of Hohenzol- lern to an Americar patron of the char- lity bazar this week at Hotel Espla- nade. Princess Charles, a niece of the King of the Belgians and a sister of Bel- gium’s coming severeign, is popular in the American colony in Berlin and its members turned out In force to swell the receipts at her booth. The rank and the fashion of Ger- many’s capital crowded the bazar, yet i; was largely due to the free buying of Americans that the bagar proved a pronounced success. Mrs. Thackara, daughter of Gen. Sherman and wife of the American Consul-General here, sold more goods than any of the other stallholders, The American Embassy was represented by the wives of Second Secretary Joseph C. Cree and Third Secretary Gustave Scholle. The American Woman's Club is ar- ranging for the biggest Christmas par- ty yet attempted. Mrs, Thackara, Miss Griswold, Mrs. Dunning and Miss Den- json are collecting subscriptions. There will be a Christmas tree and each guest will receive a present. Especial care will be taken to make Christmas happy to those American girls here, who other- wise would be lonely. Carols will be sung by the woman’s choir and the club’s rooms will be open all day. Mrs. Thackara will entertain a house party, including her sister, Miss Sherman of Washington, Mrs. Thorndike and her three children of Boston, Ernst Thalmann’s valuable present of pre-Columbian gold work is now perma- rently assigned to the Ethnolegical Mu- seum.

The latest of these members, whose engagement dates from September, 1910, are William Miller and Edward Lankow, respectively tenor and bass, who have just finished successful engagements here. Mme. Cahier, from Tennessee, whose superb contralto vorce has been heard with admiration in all the principal cities of Burope, has been here a num- per of years, and will employ her leave of absence in January for a tour in the United States. Lucille Marcel, whose splendid imper- gonation of Electra last spring led to her engagement here, is a bright, nat- ural New York girl, who went to school ahd normal college in old Gotham.

SENDS MONO-nAIL CAR TO AMERICA TO RAISE MONI European Promoter Believes Its Great Speed Will Attract Investors. Copyri ~ Wy 5 by Press wren, Co, — w York World PARIS, Re ong 11.—Great cinecoiiaia are entertained of the demonstration of the gyroscope mono-rail railway, which is about to be made in New York. Wher- ever it has been shown in Europe the experts have pronounced in its favor, but capital igs slow here to commit itself to new commercial undertakings and the promotors of this invention count on America to ler? the way toward its success. / “My main reason for going to the United States at this time,” said Hart O. Berg, the promoter, today, “Is that I hope American brains will quickly de- velop the idea into an industry. Amer- icans got the trolley car idea from Germany, were swift to appreciate its advantages and set the pace in that de- velopment with which the rest of the world has since been trying to keep up. I am confident that with American push behind it the mono-rail system wil) revo- lutionize transportation.” Mr. Berg has shipped a car capable of carrying eight persons on the Steamship Gen. Grant, due in New York next Thursday, He is taking passage today on the steamship Kaiserin Augusté Vic. torla. As soon as possible exhibitions wi}] be given in New York, then tn Chicago, Philadelphia and other citles. The claims for the invention, as set forth in a cable dispatch to the Post-Dispatch last week, are that it offers a practical method of transportation, that the best present railway speed may be at least doubled by it and that it Is safe and cheap. As explained in the previous cable dis- patch the invention belongs to August Scheri, proprietor of the Berlin Loka) Anzeiger. It has been exhibited in Rer. lin to Government officials who ex. pressed favorable opinions of it. The principle is almost identical with that on which Brennan's English system is based.

NECKLACE IS CHOICE Purchased for Mrs. Collis P. Huntington by Princess, Her Daughter. Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch New York LONDON, Dec, 11.—Mrs. Hartman's superb jewels have been sold under the hammer to Satisfy importunate) creditors. The Post-Dispatch’s cable dispatch of recént date told how this once im- menseély wealthy woman's fortune had succumbed after more than forty years to the straim of. entertaining’ royalty, and how she who never knew the value of money had been declared bankrupt. When she had given up her man- sion on Berkeley Square, where Ed- ward VII was often hér guest while he was Prince of Wales, the King gave her White Lodge in Richmond Park for a residence, but that was too expensive for her to, maintain, and now her gems have been sacri- ficed. Among the most magnificent pieces in her once extensivé Collection was. a famous necklace of rare, perfectly col- ored aquamarines, which Is said to have been given to “‘hér by the King many years before he came to the throne. There was great rivalry among dealers in such articles to get this treas- ure, and several rich American women, all said to have commissioned agenis to bid for it at auction. Those ladies were profoundly chagrined to find that Princess Hatzfeld had stolen a march on them and had privately bought the necklace for her mother, Mrs. Collis P, Huntington of New York. Morgan Gave Queen Presen Among the numerous gifts feist mess ly Queen Alexandra on her sixty-fifth birthday, the first of this month, one of the most highly prized by her is a miniature, painted by Andrew Plimer, inclosed in a circular tortoise shell frame. It is a present from J: Pierpont Morgan of New York. When the wueen and her sister, the Dowager Czarina, visited Mr. Morgan's London residence, 13 Princes Gate, a year ago to see his extraordinary col- liection of art treasures, the Queen re- marked that she had in her possession a fine Plimer miniature. Mr. Morgan remembered it and this year sent her @ companion piece. Fiancee Not Jealous of ex-Wife. British society is interested in the betrothal of Fredah Taylor and Col. James Steward Forbes. Miss Taylor is a dashing American girl. niece by mar- riage of Mrs. Ritchie, and grand- daughter of Mrs. Ronalds. Forbes mar- ried*: Lord Rosslyn’s sister. Angela, 13 years ago, and hag’two daughters, aged 12 and 7. Lady Angela:procured a divorce three years ago in, Scotland, alleging deser- tion. Col. Forbes had previously ad- vertised In the newspapers that he would not be responsible for any debt contracted by Lady Angelia. Récently Col. Forbes accompanied Miss Taylor to a party. There he met his former wife, chatted and laughed with her alone for a long time and then returned to his fiancee. Of course the strange tete-a-tete had been noticed, and some of Miss Taylor's friends ad- vised her to resent the .Colonel’s be- haviour as an’ affront to her, but she philosophically remarked that she “didn’t mind.” | ‘ New Election Game. Col. Forbes has now returned to mili- tary duty ti India. Miss Taylor hes gone to Switzerland to spend the winter with her mother. Mrs. Ritchie has invented an election game, for the rights of which she has been offered $10,000. It congists of a plan of the House of Commons, each seat punctured with a hole. The game is to get the greatest number of mem- bers of each party into their proper seats in the shortest time. The mem- pers are represented by pins, with the heads colored to indicate the different parties. They are operated By magnets. The difficulty is to get one,;member in with- out unseating another. The game is already the rage among Mrs. Richie's numerous friends. It Causes great ex- cltement and also gives an opportunity for gambling.

Compre 3 1908, oe rd Co. LONDON, hae ont Edward hates above all sae that any woman or maa of the set which moves closest around him should be involved in @ scandal, particularly in a divorce suit. An earnest attempt to please His Majesty in thie respect made by Vis- count Churchill has resulted In 4 scan- dal far louder than any suit for divorce could have caused. An advertisement was published Mon- day in which an anon¥Ymous person of- fered $125 reward for. any. information concerning the whereabouts of his wife, his son and two daughters. The party arrived at St. Pancras Rallway Station Saturday night, got in a cab and—van- ished. The advertiser was particularly anxious to locate the cab driver. _ The odd advertisement attracted at- ‘tention; gossip grew. Viscount Churchill was the advertiser. His wife had threat- ened to sue for divorce. King Edward intervened, forbidding the suit—there must be no such scandal, said His Majesty. Lady Churchill obeyed the royal ma- date. She did not bring a sit, but abruptly divorced herself, taking along her son and daughters. Viscount Churchill Is the son of the former Lady Jane Conyagham, who was Queen Victoria's favorite Lady of the Bedchamber. He ts one of the Con- servative whips in the House of Lords and has been Lord-in-Waiting te His Majesty, controlling the issue of invita- tions to the court and the royal box at the Ascot races. His wife was Lady Verina Maud Lew- ther, sister of the Bari of Lonsdalo, of one of the oldest families in England. Her father, Earl of Lonsdale, ts in the sunshine of royal favor. The Emperor of Germany has been his guest at I cw- ther Castle. The Bat is easily the best sportsman in England, yachtsman, whip, president of the. International Hhorse Show.

Pippin of the spiri- tualistic bunch. Leading scientists, or bugs, used to come to her house and hold hands with her for hours at a time, she being a widow. They’d feel the cool wind that blew out of her right knee joint and her left forehead—for no matter what else people may say about her, she certainly did have superior ventilation—and they'd listen to messages from her best friend in the spirit world, who was a gentleman named John. So they brought her over here to do some grand and lofty ifesting in New York. I guess maybe they'd heard what Harry Lauder was getting a week on this side. “But the investment didn’t pan out very well, and the lady sort of fell down on her intellectual face. I guess the climate didn’t suit. Anyway, her drafts all got stopped up on her and as for John, he just quit cold. A selected group of true believers have been whiling away the long even- ings of the early winter sitting around a table with the Madame and rooting for John until they had cramps in their legs. ‘Oh. you John!’ they'd say./ ‘Come on, you John!’ They couldn't have beeh any more fervent if it’d been a crap ,ame, with everybody legging to make the same point on the dice. But if John was in the cabinet he “It seems > faon American spooks, such as Little Bright Eyes over in East St. Louis and other infant industry spools, ought to have pro- tection, it seems ‘o me, from the foreign pauper labor spooks of Europe. As to woolen fabrics and the like, I’m one of the reddest-hottest little free traders you ever saw, but as-to spooks from Italy and elsewhere, I’m a protectionist from away up at the head waters of Nelse Aldrich Creek. There’s hardly a season of the year when I don’t need clothes of some sort for-outdoor wear, but as for spooks, I can take them or I can leave them alone, and I generally do. Protection for home spook industries—that’s my motto, even if I am a Democrat, and I don’t care who knows it.” . “You ‘pear to be takin’ a big interest in such things all of a sudden,” said the House Detec- tive, suspiciously. “Ain’t been turning’ Spiritual- ist yourself, have you?” “Not as yet,” said the- Hotel Clerk. “Not so as to be visible to the bare or Mary Gordon eye. But I’ve a friend who’s that wrapped up in spirits till he’d come mighty near being 98 per cent dena- tured alcoho! if he was a patent medicine. He's one of those persons who wears health underwear and leans toward the occult. "Twas he who led me into the charmed circle and let me get a whiff of the inner mysteries. “His name is Lycurgus H. McWhorters, this friend of“mine, and he looks like the kind of a man who would have that kind of a name, I had an evening off here the other night, and | thought I’d drop into one of the boxing clubs up- town and see a couple of likely lads change each other’s outlook upon life. But nothing would do McWhorters but that I should go with him over to Brooklyn—to Fair Broo‘lyn, which has Brazil beaten eight ways from the Jack as a place where . the nuts come from—and attend a regular, really truly seance. So I went. “We crossed the bridge into foreign parts and took one of those 10-minute rides on a Brooklyn trolley car that never lasts less than three-quar- ters of an hour. We got off at a street where you'd imagine an undertaker would like to live, and eventually w> reached one of those places that had a close call once from being a Brooklyn boarding house and never entirely recovered from the shock. I knew what we were striking: as soon as we entered the front door and were warmly stayed there.

But there was nothing really sensational about it. Any furniture mover. could have moved’ it twice as far in half the time. with one hand tied behind his back. It was a great disappointment to Prof. Hysloppy and Prof. Monsterbugg and the eminent profs that took an interest.

We were ushered into a front parlor full of crippled furniture that smelled like the back room of a taxidermist store. There were a few sad-eyed yet earnest seekers after truth there that looked as if they’d lost a lot of rela- tives and were expecting to lose a lot more Aal- most any minute, and a cabinet in one corner and a lot of tamborines and bells and tin fish horns and other instruments used in a spook orchest’a scattered around.

I suppose they made Mc- Whorters think of ghosts, but they only reminded - me of sedlitz powders, they being blue and white alternately. Then the spirits began to come. The first one, as I recollect, was Daniel Webster. If any of Daniel’s friends are still alive they would be pained to note the change in him. His gram- mar has fallen off something scandalous and he’s taken to drin*ing cooking sherry with sloe gin in it. I caught a whiff of it myself when he first floated out of the cabinet, with a message from Pettie to somebody whose initials were ‘M. do anything with And after that we had visits fromm quite a years, unless 5. number of other prominent persons who waited until after they were dead before they dared to go to Brooklyn.

Some of the lowest tribes in Africa build their lan- guages around a rhyming system. Traces of the same system appear in the highest languages. The mind when it is still childish in savages is shown using the same helps used by children in civilized countries. By studying only the languages in which the Bible is already printed, the history of the world might be wri ten from bottom to top as a history of mind and thought, growing little by little and adding words for use as it grows. As every new idea forces ‘new words, this work can be done now by studying language from lowest to highest whenever care and pains enough are taken in doing it. It will be one of the great works of the future, but it cannot be done until some very patient person makes it his life work.

Excavations Around An- Gient Timgad, a Flourishing ity in the Time of Christ, | Disclose Monuments, Col- ‘umns and Mosaics of Won- derful Richness and Beauly ROM out of the sands in which it had been

lying forgotten for centuries, the great city SS. of Timgad has arisen. Even its site w ’ unknown and its name—the Thamugadid of the - ancients—had almost become loo | ies the suburbs remaining still buried, and it has just been photographed. Some of these photo- graphs are reproduced herewith. The beauty of its architecture, the richness of its mosaics, the size and quality of the baths and sewers in tne private houses, tell their ~wn tale of the luxury of the people who lived there in the second cen- tury. One of the most beautiful monuments in the city is a triumphal arch, the inscriptions on which bear the date 171 A. D. Its fluted Corinthian columns, its frieze, cornices and entablature had been thrown down, but its reconstruction was not at all difficult. From it ran a broad and well- paved triumphal way through the city, and the flagstones of this still bear the ruts that were made by the wheels of the heavy chariots which rolled up this avenue in the days of Marcus Aurelius. : Entering by the triumphal arch, flanked with guardhouses and ornamented with pedestals which once bore statues, a road called North Cardo street leads in a straight line to the forum. This. road was bordered with porticos and upon it stands a semi-circular building which bears evidence gad used to assemble. Around it were al] the excitement; the prison, the hall of the Senate and many fine shops. Upon the sidewalks of the forum are found tables which must have been those of the open- air cafes, and some of them bear still initials and roughly-carved inscriptions made with their knives by ancient Timgadites who ate or cambled at these tables. Upon one of them are the words: VENARI, LAVARI, LUDERE, RIDERE, CC EST VIV.ERE. Which is to say: “To hunt, to bathe, to amusé one’s self, to laugh—this is to live.” And un- doubtedly this sums up the pf losophy of the in- habitants of Timgad. From the theater, with its 25 tiers of seats, to the triumphal arch of Trajan the visitor of today passes before great baths, whose halls are paved with mosaics, before mansions wherein was every comfort, every luxury, with gardens, courtyards, fountains, pools. aquariums and bath- rooms, with hot and cold water.

Day by day the burial continued, silently unseen. It was as if the city was sinking bodily in that vast solitude. It is twelve hundred years at least since Tim- gad was deserted. Throughout those centuries the sand has been piling up over its ruins. About twenty years ago Alber Ballu, director of the French service of historic monuments in Al- - geria, heard of a plateau on the edge of the desert where above the sand rose som: masonry which looked like the top of a triumphal arch. This was such a mysterious end ‘nterecting f nd that M. Ballu began digging in the sand. The more he dug the more interesting were the revelations. Little by little the city was uncovered, unti) in- scriptiqns were found which left‘no doubt that this indeed was the legendary Timgad. The city is now almost all cleared of sand, only squares. | et These mosaics that M.

Suddenly the light on the stage increases, a rustling is heard-and? a wonderful creature in white garments and with golden wings appears, bearing a lily and crying, “Ave Maria, Gratia Plena!” Timid and con- fused, Mary rises but does not answer. Gabriel comforts her. and sings aloud his glad message. Then Mary kneels and gives thanks to God and the angel disappears, leaving the room half- darkened again. Clearly and joyfully there sounds through the church the voice of Mary singing the Magnificat, while from the audience come the sounds of women weeping as the cur- tain falls. | Next is shown a shepherds’ camp in the hills of Judea. It is wonderfully realistic, a fact which the countrymen present acknowledge in low mur- murs of appreciation. Real sheep are bleating: in the fold and the shepherds lounge about talking of the day’s work. The simplest things of their life engross them—the death of a lamb, the where- abouts of a sheep that has disappeared. As their talk ceases and they fall asleep, soft notes issue from the hidden organ. The stage is darkened now and the scene, with the dying mel- odies echoing through the cathedral, most im- pressive. Then a ray of light breaks and grows in splendor across the stage and Gabriel is seen, on a platform so arranged that he appears to be in the clouas. The shepherds awake, . frightened and confused, sheltering their eyes from the bril- liant light. But Gabriel heartens them by wav- ing his lily and calling upon them to be of good cheer, and then suddenly a choir of angels gather , about him, singing “Gloria in Excelsis,” and the shepherds fall down and worship. Still kneeling as Gabriel and his heavenly choir disappear, the shepherds chant a familiar carol, partly in Latin, partly in English, and the chords of the organ ‘sound again, soft and low and distant, while'the voices of the people take up the melody down in the body of the church.’ When the curtain is again drawn there is shown the stable at Bethlehem, the star shining above it. Mary is there, kneeling, and Joseph leans upon his staff. Before the ox and the ass is the manger, and in it, on the straw, clothed in jeweled robes, lies the child Jesus. The shepherds have followed the star and bow in dumb show while solemn music is chanted from a distance. Then enters a magnificent array—the three kings come to do worship to the new-born Prince of Peace. As the chant dies down the roll of drums and the shrill of fifes and trumpets an-

So great has become the menace that cently the police have trained dogs to walk vith them on their rounds, for the Apache, either ~ ' or life.

It was then only a question of a frank run for it, and run I did, the Frenchmen pursuing. In spite of St. Yves, the Frenchmen are no runners, and I beat my men to the cafe, a miserable dive, but where at least there was light and enough people present to make a crime dangerous. From that place I got, by bribery, a drunken cabman to take me three blocks away to where the broad avenue and safety lay, but my picturesque cut- throats watched sullenly at the door and even followed the cab for a distance. The other recollection is that of a man in evening dress, young and fair,alying on the pave- ment, his arms outstretched, his unseeing eyes wide open, and across his breast a red stain that told the story. “There was a little group around him-—two policemen looking helplessly at the man, three of four curious pedestrians, but of the Apache that had dealt the blow not a trace. In Paris policemen walk their rounds in pairs. It is safer, and the argument runs that one may summon aid while the other is nolding a. prisoner. But even this precaution does not deter the Apaches when they meditate revenge. The Apaches work often in gangs, and in that way @ Monk Eastman and other 2-0- ew York. 3 tion here Yat all the Apaches

When the cobbler Voigt made his famous attack on the Town Hall of Koepenick he dressed himeelf in the second-hand uniform of a captain of a guard regiment, and in this disguise imposed upon the detachment of troops with which he carried out his predatory purpose. And civilian scoffers declared that it was only the fetish power of the military uniform that had — blinded the eyes of all and sundry to his unsol- dierly bearing, his coarse features and his obvious lack of culture and refinement. | But now the Prussian army was been avenged, for a crime almost as ingenious in its conception, and as spirited in its execution, as the immortal coup of Koepenick hes been practiced on the guardians of civil order in the very halls of jus- tice themse)ves, beneath ‘he shadow of the mas- sive structure of the Berlin Police Pres'dency, and through the instrumentality of the official garb of the highest officers of the law. With a brazen impudence, which it is diff:cult te know whether more to admire or condemn, the perpetrators walked into the rooms of the judger at the Civil Courts, and, having thrown over their shoulders the solemn robes of the learned breth- ren, sat calmly down to exercise ceftain judicial functions which could be exploited for iheiz own jmmediate benefit. The authors of this bold en- terprise are three youths, all in the neighborhood of their twentieth year. They are Lothar Lued*e, at one time a dentist and now ascribed as a wait- er; Willi Warnitzki, a cyclist, and Hans Meyer, a took. The idea originated with the first-named, who for some time was employed in a subordinate ca- pacity in the large and handsome building which houses thé principal Civil Courts of the German capital. He left this post to serve a sentence of nine months’ imprisonment for theft, and appears, probably under the inspiration of his great ex- emplar Voigt, to have spent his enforced solitude in reflecting on the futility of human institutions, and especially of such as have for their object the preservation of law and order. At any rate, his first action on being liberated was to enlist a couple of recruits and proceed to demonstrate that quality. One afternoon, at 4 o’clock—that is to say, just es.the judges were-rising—thc trio walked into the court buildings and paced its echoing corridors with confident steps. No one asked their business. They were taken for successf-11 litigants or willing witnesses, and allowed to pass. Presently they found themselves alone in a stretch of passage. the. door of one of the judges’ retiring rooms. It was unoccupied, and a row of black robes was hanging on pegs on the wall. In an instant they had taken down three of these and donned them, and now the most difficult part of the task was accomplished. Here it may be necessary to explain to the American reader that the’ judiciary is a special branch of thé legal proféssion in Germany into ‘which a candidate passes as soon as Lis studies are completed, and that there would, consequently, be nothing to excite particular attention in the spectacle of three callow youths sauntering about the courts in judges’ robes. However that may be, the three adventurers, under the generalship of Luedke, now sought out one of the rooms where the preliminary examination of cases is gone into and where there were cupboards full of papers telling, in superfluous detail, the story of many a human tragedy, comedy and farce. A few dozen ~ bundles were taken out at random, and the trio, grouped around the table, were soon absorbed in an examination ofthe various documents. Now and then an attendant darted in uncere- moniously, and, seeing, as he thought, three judges still deeply engaged in unraveling some knotty legal point, stammered a confused apology for his intrusion, and beat a hasty retreat... Oc- casionally a charwoman, prowling round for her daily quantum of dust and waste paper, put her inquisitive nose in at the door. She was swiftly sent packing with that h borean vigor of repri- mand which is seen in its finest flower in the Prussian official. | Meanwhile, ow spurious judges were hard at work. They first possessed «hemselves of the names of the principal parties to some score of cases which they had under their hands. Next— As quick as lightning they opened:

Believing It to be a Wax Reproduction of “Mona Lisa,” by Leonardo da Vinci, Dr. Bode, Curator of the Kaiser Frederich Museum, Paid $50,000: for a Bust Made -by a Modern English Sculptor with a crowbar, and their contents scattered about in wild disarray. Cashboxes had been burst open and gaped in derisive emptiness. The thieves had also seized the opportunity of arming themselves with a couple of police revolvers, which hap- pened to have been left on the premises. Like their Berlin brethren, they also appropriated a number of cost forms, but so far nothing is known of their having attempted to make use of these. The big safe in which the chief treasure of the station was deposited was, fortunately, proof againat their assaults. Up to the present the po- lice are still without a clew to the perpetrators of this insulting injury. At Essen, where the famous Krupp works are, the third of these hoaxes was perpetrated within a day or so after the exploit of the pseudo judges. Quite evidently, the intent in this instance was to worry the police officials and set the pubiic laugh- ing at them, and the attempt was highly success- . ty Going with a handcart to the central police office, where about fifty special officers are en- gaged, a man said he had been sent by the electric supply company to remove the bulbs, and that they would be exchanged for new ones before dusk. He was allowed to take nearly 200 bulbs, and several of the officers actually helped him to remove them, entertaining no doubt about his bona fides. : When darkness arrived, 2nd the new bulbs were not forthcoming, the. police rang up the electric light company to remind them of the “omission.” e reply was startling, and left the police “very much in the dark.” The company declared they had sent nobody for the bulbs, and knew nothing of the matter; in fact, only a fortnight previously exchanged the old bulbs for new and expen- sive ones, costing half a crown each. It now for the first time dawned upon the po- lice that they had allowed, and even assisted, a bold thief to steal many dollars’ worth of ex- pensive electric bulbs from under their very noses. Nothing has since been heard of the thief, and just now it is dangerous to speak about elec- tric bulbs in the hearing of an Essen policeman. While the two last mentioned incidents were really little more than practical jokes played on

of the Leonardo da Vinci bust. . Not alone Germany, but all of Europe and Dr. Bode is known throughout the world as an America has had the laugh on the Kaiser Fred- expert on all that pertains to the life and works erich Museum at Berlin ag a result of what ap- of Leonardo da Vinci, and when he purchased in but London for the Kaiser Frederich Museum a wax pears to have Unromantic Mule to Take Place of Cavalry Horse WRITER in the Army and Navy Journal renews the sug- gestion that mules be substi. tuted for horses for cavalry remounts.

‘Why not? Thé modern tendency is to eliminate everything of the pomp and circumstance of glorious war and to place the whole military arm of the country on a strictly utilitarian basis. Gone from the field of aetive warfare are the shakoes, the cocked hats, the epaulets, the gold lace, the flashing sword. An army in the field is equipped like a lot of day labor- ers engaged in ditch digging, and the officers can be distinguished from t..e rank and file only as the straw boss is distinguished from those with whom he works—by his more lurid’ and picturesque vocabulary. It is in the strict line of progress to eliminate the war horse, the theme of one of the greatest as well as the oldest of known poems. He goes out with the fuss and feathers, and for the same reasons. To replace the tra- ditionary war horse with the humble and necessary mule, “the short and simple animal of the poor,” ag gome irreverent parodist styles him, wil} help towards bringing the soldier to the plane of other men engaged in but repulsive work. It is a misdemeanor to tamper electric wires in Colorado. Lien -DECE : + BP aT) 0) ad . Ms 5 Se ost f Soe ca Poe r¢ * - é re ie

WHOT BOYS AND GIRLS ARE I GOING To GET PRESENTS PROM | SANTA CLAUS THIS YEAR? § 100 FINE PRIZES FOR CHILDREN WHO FIND THEIR NAMES ERE is a fine holiday puzzle, the answering of which will serve to occupy. many happy moments and win for the 50 boys and 50 girls who solve it correctly prizes of beautiful books to add to their Christmas packs. Santa Claus was on his rounds Christmas Eve when, without warning, the bottom jJropped out of his pack. In. it were presents for 40 boys and girls. The ‘names of these 40 boys and girls were carried in the sack by Santa so that when he reached the proper house he could go down into it and pick out the four letters of the name of the. hoy and girl that lived there. He did this by means of a disk which he carried in his hand. : 3 Santa Claus knew éach boy and girl by the abbreviation of his or her name, each of four letters, so that he would not be bothered by picking out the full name. For instance, he called Richard “Dick,’’ and before he left Toyland he put the four letters, D, I, C and.K, into the bag for Richard. So it was for the 39 other children. You will find al] the Jetters (four each) for all the 40 names in the spilled con- tents of Santa Claus’ bag. To find them you must cut out the disk below, and the four white circles within it to make four holes. Place the disk on the picture and move it about so that combinations of letters appear in the circles and spell:a boy’s or a girl's name. Read the letter at the top first and follow around e3 in reading a clock face The 100 boys and girls wno come nearest to finding in this manner the 40 names in the pack will each be given a beautifully bound book that would cost at. least 50 cents in a book store. The books for boys are the fine adventurous tales written by Henty, and for the girls the books are of the Wellsley Series, the best of their kind. All answers must be mailed to the Puzzle Editor, Post-Dispatch, St. Louis, be- fore Dec. 20, on which day the contest closes. The names of the winners wild be pub- ished the day after Christmas.
