HEN the excitement kindled by President Cleveland’s message to Lord Salisbury over the Venezuelan question reached a pitch that foreboded war between Great Britain and Uni- ted States, the New York World and the Post-Dispatch cabled to the Right Hon. William E. Gladstone asking for an expression in the interest of a peaceful solution of the difficulty. He answered, “Only common sense is necessary.” And only common sense was necessary. The war clouds quickly passed. When the recent wave of jingoism arose involving the reiations of the United States and Japan, the New York World and the Post-Dispatcii sent a special representative to Tokyo to se- cure the views of the leading minds of Japan, on common sense lines, regarding the so-called friction. In a special message to the World and the Post-Dispatch, Prime Minister Katsura de- clared, ““‘War between Japan and America is im possible.” Today the Post-Dispatch presents statementsfrom Baron Goto, Minister of Communications and president of the Imperial railways of Japan; Baron Takahashi, president of the Yokohama Specie Bank and vice-governor of the Bank of Japan; Baron Matsuo, governor of the Bank of Japan, and President Soyeda of the,Industrial Bank of Japan. These men are: foday of the first importance in the affairs of Japan. What they Say they can fulfill. It may be added that all of these men have risen from the ranks of the Japanese people solely by the ability they have shown in their public tasks. The accompanying were given to the special ‘representative of the New York World and the Post-Dispatch in Japan. Accompanying each article is the signature of the writer in Japanese script. ‘“‘Why the Great Problem Is in China.’’ BY JUICHI SOYEDA. President of the Industria! Bank of Japan. Mr. Soycda studicd at Cambridge University, England, and at Heidelberg. His is one of the most active and intelligent minds in Japan. He had an cxtensive share in promoting mone- tary reforms in Japan, and his institution ranks among the foremost in important relation- ship to Japanese progress. HE business possibilities of China, with its vast T territory and dense population, are inex- haustible, and there is ample room for all commercial nations. It is proper and necessary that all the Powers concerned work harmoniously and co-operatively for the economic exploitation of China proper. To talk of Japan’s monopolizing the Chinese markets is a gross misrepresentation and exaggeration, a sort of nightmare. In days of free international competition like the present it is a sheer impossibility for any one nation to take the world’s market all to itself. The most urgent question nightmares about Japan, but in other directions. No matter in what country or at what time there is nothing so subversive and nothing so deterrent to the growth and development of industries as a bad government and a feeling of uncertainty in the popular mind. To be candid, we cannot say that everything is satisfactory in these respects in China @: present. In the present circumstances it is im- perative for China and her rulers to. endeavor to make her people in general engage in their occu- pations with a feeling of security and contentment, at the same time carrying out administrative re- forms, suppressing corruption and strengthening the central Government. Powers Must Help China’s Money Reforms Speaking of reforms, nothing is so urgent as the reform of the currency . system in that country. China's monetary administration may be said, in- deed, to be at the height of confusion and chaos, and currency referm is the most pressing of all her needed reforms. Some years ago Prof. Jenks came over from the United States to China to make an investigation on the spot and to work out a suit- able plan pf reform accordingly. He extended his visit to this country and exchanged views with many of our countrymen, who are competent and interested in the problem. , It is much te be regretted that nothing yet has taken a concrete form. Indeed, China's currency reform forms a provision in her treaties with the Powers, and it is incumbent on the latter to assist China in the accomplishment of that great work. According to the edict of Currency Reform, issued in May, the silver standard is still adhered to. But Seeing that gold is the monetary standard in genera) use throughout the civilized world today, and from my firm conviction, strengthened by the successful carrying out of the Japanese gold standards, I consider it most desirable for China to fall in line with the other advanced nations. Japan and America Have a Common Mission Buppesing China insists on maintaining the silver standard and succeeds in unifying her currency throughout her realm, she wil! still not be free from the inconveniences and disadvantages of the silver standard. This will be spoiling a crowning success just by a single flaw, and I must regret it all for China's lasting interest, as well for the cause of universal gold monometalism. | China and Japan are close neighbors, narrow sheet of water between them. nearest neighbor is the United States, though sepa- rated by a larger expanse of water. Both Japan and America are the direct neighbors of China. Emigration No Longer a Friction. BY BARON SHINZEN MATSUO, Governor of the Bank of Japan. Bayon Matsuo was long director of the financial department of the Japanese treasury and has hetd the governorship of the Bank of Japan for seven years. He is wise and old. The Bank of Japan issues the note currency of the country. It is under government control, is in- deed the Treasury Department of the nation when it comes to conserv ing and handling public funds.

of Western Europe, are and their interests in the Far only the interests of ‘“‘‘branch shops.'’ The course of events in China always has direct bearings on the main body of America and Japan. It falls thus, it must be said, on Japan and the United States to consider it their bounden duty to see to it that order and peace are maintained in China, their mutual neighbor. Apart from all questions of their commercial and trade interests, it may well be said also that it is the heaven-ordained mission of the two countries, in the cause of humanity, to lead the four hundred millions of China to the light of civilization. Nor is there anything to hesitate about in such an idea. The two countries are fully alive to the natural duties of good neighbors. The result of the United States and Japan maintaining such an $ attitude and acting up to such principles will be to strength- en the assurance of China’s national and territorial integrity, and, consequently, the peace o*% the world. I do not think there is any opposition in America to this plan of co-operation ‘between that country and ours toward China. I rather believe that it will be most heartily approved there, for it is in accordance with the great principle which the United States is proud to stand for before the world, viz., to promote the happiness of mankind by maintain- ing freedom, equality and peace. Our countrymen, at all events, have always cred- ited the United States with lovalty to that doctrine and have never changed a little for the last 50 yeers in their whole-souled trust and confidence In America. Recently silly and groundless rumors of various kinds have been set afloat as to the relations of America and Ja- pan, but none of them is worth seri- ous consideration. Nor will our coun- trymen, in view of the lofty ideals and high principles al- ways upheld in America, doubt for a moment that in making the present proposal of co- operation between America and Japan for the _ integrity and welfare of China, that pro- posa] will receive the most hearty ap- proval of America. I add tn conclusion that the Japanese admire, respect and love. Americans, and I pray that it is not America that will disappoint Ja- pan in the latter's deep-rooted trust that America will always be true and faithful to the cause of peace and fairness, humanity and civilization! Other Powers, especially situated far away, Hast are, so to say, is to be sought, not tn with but a China’s next

aggressive attiude toward the United States of America. On the other hand, it may be well said that the impcrts from the United States of America to Japan are ef great importance in so far as its volume of trade is concerned. If we analyze our imports by nationalities it will be found that the share of the United States in our im- port trade comes foremost among the nations that do business with us, excepting only Great Britain and her dominions. Surely this high position can- not be lightly regarded even by so large a coun- try as the United States of America. ‘ In addition to these commercial relations, in- volving, for instance, the considerable amount of American capital invested in this country, a good deal of success has attended the business opera- “are told that on the other side of the W Pacific there has been of late some mischiev- eus 1alk about the trying state of the rela- tions between the United States of America and this country, This we are quite at a loss to understand. It is a truism to say that economic interest is the most important factor in determin- ing the modern international relationship. In this, however. we do not see anything that is ealculated te bring about a conflict between the two countries. The United States of America is a most impor- tant customer in our over-sea trade, and nearly one-third of our total exports find market in that country. In view of this fact it is quite plain _ that it would be foolish to sacrifice so much of °S satan to this oountry, by @ssuming an tions undertaken by our countrymen in the United States. So our interests are becoming more and

Emigration Has Ceased to Be a Big Factor Again, the problem of emigration that so much excited a part of the American public has ceased to disturb, though I notice by the recent report of the Labor Commissioner of California that the Japanese laborers there are efficient and desir- able. On the part of this eountry there is no intention whatever of putting the United States into any embarrassment in this matter. I do not think that the question will ever again be a cause of friction. The charge is sometimes brought forward that the policy of our Government in Manchuria is restrictive and antagonistic to the interests of other nations. But in reality the case is ‘alto- gether different. The all-important policy of open door and equal opportunities which the Govern- ment pursues in that region is consistent and permanent. Many instances may be cited, but two recent ones suffice to justify the above statement. One of them is that Port Arthur has been opened to trade: and commerce, and merchant ships of every nation have been allowed free access to it. The other is that the Yokohama Specie Bank will now make loans to all comers with no discrimina- tion whatever against nationalities. It goes with- out saying that these things may be taken as sufficient evidence of the true import of the pol- icy pursued by this country. As to the first opening up of this country to foreign intercourse and its recent development, everybody here recognizes that we are greatly in- debted to the people of the United States of America. We know there are many thing's in economic matters that we have introduced into this country after the model of the United States, and that the influence of the American people on this country in leading and direcitng it into the proper path of progress in these lines has been far-reaching. For instance, the banking system of this country was eStablished after the fashion of the national banks of the United States of America. Not only many Americans came to this shore anc, took up the work of direct guidance for the benefit of the people here, but there is a still greater number of people here who have come home and are filling positions of great importance after finishing their studies in the United States. In our bank alone those who pursued a course of study in America count some 20 or 30 in number. From\this may easily be seen how many thou- sands of such men and women brought up in America there are here in this country. So we always regard the people of the United States with the grateful feeling that pupils hold tow- ard their teachers. Japanese Regard Us as Their Instructors Moreover, the sympathy show by the American money market with this country during the recent war, by giving every possible as- sistance to the subscription of our Gov- ernment loans abroad is still fresh in the memories of people here and is recalled with ever grateful feelings. In view of the warm attitude we entertain toward the people of the United States, I think it is beyond the reach of im- agination that this country should ever under- take and offensive attitude toward the United States of America. We are told that the reason such un- fortunate talk about the relations: be- tween the fF ber has come to be current on the other side of the Pa- cific is ta be found In the selfish mo- tives of a few agitators and jingoes. This is most deplorable, as it might induce disastrous results to the gen- eral interests of all for the sake of serving some purely self-interest. I highly appreciate the painstaking en- deavors of the New York World to apply common sense to international affairs. It would be no small boon to the interests of both the United States of America and Japan if the press would clear away the doubts and fears of those among the people of the United States who have been carried away by the inexplicable misrepresen- tations of the situation on the part of a certain class of their fellow-country- men,

‘Japan, China and the United States.’’ BY BARON KOREKIYO TAKAHASHI, President of the Yokohama Specie Bank and Vice-Governor of the Bank of Japan. Baron Takahashi studied in America when a boy and had the delicate duty of handling the Japanese war loans in this country and England. He enjoys the confidence of the finan- cial world. T {is my firm conviction that there is no ground | or justification for apprehending a war between America and Japan. The historical relation of the two nations is not only that of friendship, but that of peculiar attachment to each other. It is an old story that potent and beneficial leaderships in the path of modern civilization and progress was given to us by the United States, and the deep sensé of indebtedness and confidence thereby en- gendered in the Japanese people has never lost its vividness. The moral and: financial support accorded to this country by the United States during the late war is fresh. in our memory. Having been instrumental in the negotiation of our war loans. to which the American people subscribed with extraordinary en- thusiasm, I had special opportunities personally to ebserve how sympathetic an interest was taken by the American public in the destinies of the Japanese nation. What has happened since then to disturb the traditional relationship of the two nations, * utterly fail to see. As far as our rarge of sight reaches, there is no possibility of a question arising between America and Japan which cannot be set- tled by ordinary diplomacy. Conditions in China and Japan Compared Neither America nor Japan has territorial ambi- tions. It is a common object of the two nations to develop commerce and to enhance general prog- ress in the Far East. In this field there may be some occasion for rivalry between the two growing nations. But there is no reason why the rivalry should be anything but peaceful, and the two nations will certainly have more occasion for co- operation than for rivalry. In this connection I wish to set forth my view of the economic future of China, which have come to hold as the result ef my investigations and ob- servation. It seems te be a current idea in some quarters of the United States that China, with a population of 400,000,000 souls, has great possibilities as a market for manufacturers and that Japan is in the way of America as regards the exploitation of this market. But I venture to say this idea originates from im- perfect grasp of the condition of China and the character of the Chinese. In the first place, the Chinese are a very corfservative people. Next, their traditional modes of living—food, clothing and hous- ing—are not so different from those ef the Occident as in the case of the Japanese people. China and Japan in Competition for Trade Chinese use chairs and beds, while the Japanese sit and sieep on matted floors. The Chinese wear shoes, while the Japanese put on wooden clogs. The Chinese are in tight sleeves and trousers, while the Japanese clothes are wide, loose robes. The Chinese diet consists of much more meat than the Japanese... Thus the Chinese from time tmmemorial have been self-supplying in the necessaries of life which are adapted to the climate of the country, and at theesame time rather resemble those of the Occident. The Chinese, therefore, will not be dis- posed to change their mode of living m consequence of their contact with the West in the same degree as the Japanese are now doing. Their demand for imported articles, so far as necessaries ef life are

concerned, will not be so great as in the case ef the Japanese. On the other hand, China is in want of machinery, iron and steel, and capital in order to make sctien- tific progress in the development of her resources. Now these can be supplied only by America and Europe. Of the necessaries of life, ‘cotton yarns and cotton cloth and petroleum are consumed by the Chinese in large quantities. But petroleum is only scantily produced in Japan. The Japanese manufac- ture cotton yarns and cotton cloth, but as their materials have to be imported from Indla, America and China, we are by no means in an advantageous position. The rivalry of the Americans and Japanesé in China will be only in individual abilities, and not in national products. Then, many kinds of articles, notably silk and tea, are produced in common by Japan and China. Chinese labor is cheaper than Japanese, the Chinése, fu future, will be our formidable cémpetitors as artisans and retail merchants. Those Japanese who have employed Chinese laborers recognize that they are superior to Japanese laborers in obedience, per- severance and cheap living. Instead of exploiting the Chinese market, we have reason to fear being exploited by the Chinese. It is only in enterprise requiring big amounts of cap- ital that China offers prospects of profit. to for- eigners. Mining, railway and manufacturing on a large scale constitute a hopeful field of investment in China. But it will be a long time before Japan becomes a capitalistic country., On the contrary, we have still to borrow cheap capital from abroad in order to effect the economic development in our own country. Hence, it will be seen that there is not much room for rivalry in China between America and Japan. The question of emigration has caused some trou- ble in the past, but we believe the agitation against Japanese labor was essentially local and temporary. The idea of “America for Americans,” aiming -at the exclusion of alien labor, seems to me incom- patible with the physical and economic condition of the United States. After all, labor is required to develop the varied resources of the country, and I do not see why certain kinds of labor should not be supplied by Japan to the mutual advantage of both sides. On the other hand, we are anxious to avoid giving trouble to the United States, as is shown by the measures recently taken by our Government to restrict the emigration of our laborers to America. Thus, considertng the historical relations of America and Japan, and examining the questions that have recently loomed in the public eye, I cannot bift come to the conclusion that it is against the dictates of common sense to talk of the possibility of a war between the two coun- tries. , There is one more point upon which I. wish to make a few remarks at the present opportunity, in order to remove a misgiving that seems to be entertained by some of the American people. They appear to suseptt that the Japanese Government is in too close touch with economic enterprises, and that economic forces of the country are di- rected to the accomplishment of an ulterior polit- ical design. I think this apprehension is not quite unnatural on the part of the American people. Self-help being the ruling spirit of the Americans, their political ideal is to reduce the functions of the government to the minimum. Hence they are apt to look asKanceat. every Government inter< ference. Now, the spirit of self-help is certainly

As" to be reSpected, and there is no doubt that the po- litical ideal of the American people is best suited to them. But it has to be understood that each nation has its peculiar charac- teristics. Under the feudal system in Japan the governing classes had been of predominant impo®ance, and when the new regime was established the best. brains of the country were at first concentrated in the service of the Government. Thus for several decades the Government has been in a position to take the lead in every branch of national development, so much so that even the constitutional form of government was not forced on the sovereign by the people, as in most Occidental countries, but was initiated and granted by the Em- peror. The influence of the Govern- men in economic affairs is merely one phase of this general tendency resulting from our recent history, and not a manifestation of any ul- terior ambition. However, ft is recog- nized that our business men’s re- liance upon the Government is theit weak point. I believe a change in the direction of self-help and inde- pendence is already coming about, as talents are more evenly distributed in various walks of life, BARON TAKAHASHI.

Friendship, Business and Race Pressu BY BARON SHIMPEI GOTO, Minister of Communications and President of tr ae ways of Japan. He controls the postal service, the railways, the telegraph and the telephone, alt government institutions in Japan, and is a most edhe in ARI member of the Katsura ener United States of America are often gravely discussed as if they involved a question too complex and difficult for peaceful solution, But to my mind the question is plain and simple—too plain and simple to admit any doubt and fear con- cerning it. For, from the opening of the mutual intercourse between Japan and»the United States to the present time our people always regarded the Americans as the most friendly nation, never harbored an ill feeling against them never as- sumed any attitude hostile to the Americans. Where then can we find any ground to justify what is worse—the rumor that Japan has been preparing for a Mar with the United States? The rumor is ab tely unwarranted by facts. Such a rumpertfrom every point of view, cannot be any- thing but a pure fabrication invented by some newspapers and publicists for a sinister purpose or possibly for mere malice. Of course there was the question of Japanese immigration and some concomitant incidents of a more or less delicate nature. But after all they were passing phenomena of short existence which simply resulted from the unfavorable attitude as- sumed by a small section of the American people against Japanese immigrants, while the majority of the Americans would welcome them. For things like this an easy and amicable settlement was found and can be in every case and at any time. I believe that the more improved become the commercial relations between Japan and the Tinited States the better will be the mutual under- standing between the two nations and among the middle and higher classes, increasing their friend- ly feeling and good will and dispelling every kind of misunderstanding and apprehension. American Merchants Worried by Losses In former times the American merchants in Japan used to control almost the whole trade be- tween Japan and the United States, with enormous profit to themselves. But now, owing to the rapid development of trade between the two countries and to the acquisition of better knowledge of the people of each other, both the Japanese merchants and the American merchants at home began to prefer direct transactions of business between themselves independently of the American com- mission merchants in Japan. The effect on the latter is plain. The American merchants in Japan, whose exclusive privilege it had been to control and profit irom the American-Japanese trade as they pleased, and who regarded the Japanese as infants in their line, now became alarmed at the new situation, then disappointed and resentful of the Japanese boldness, as it were, viewed from the point of their present interest. This is one of the most important causes which induced them to spread unfavorable reports against the Japanese throughout the United States, and it was exceedingly unfortunate, too, that their unfavorable reports succeeded partly in affecting a section of the United States. Germans Win Trade by Fair Business Methods The anti-Japanese sentiment was In such ascend- ancy there for some time that if any question oc- casionally arose between the two governments the impatient people not only would clamor and exaggerate the question, but would also excite and mislead others, while the patriotic Americans of keen insight and high judgment easily discerned the real nature and circumstances of the question, but their effort to restrain and allay the exciting force of the anti-Japanese sentiment prevailing then among the unthinking was in vain. Speaking of the big American merchants in China, let it be understood, first of all, that the foreign merchants, including Americans, there mostly employ Germans as their clefks. Foreign trade in China Had received a great impetus at the time of the Chino-Japanese and the Russo-Ja- panese wars and made a considerable advance. At present, however, there is a sign of falling back by reaction, which is quite natural In a country Ifke China. But the American merchants, observing simply the waning of their fortunes simultaneously with the advance of the Japanese merchants, attributed T« present relations between Japan and the the cause of thelr own failure to Japanese aggres- . sion. His not those Americans only, but the En- glish in China. But the factis, while the Japanese* merchants are advancing, only an inch there, the Germans—-remember, the Germans—are pushing their trade by one foot ahead, to our unbiased ad- miration and respect. I say, to our unbiased ad- miration and respect, for they deserve every suc- cess there, if the energetic and Intelligent deserve ‘any success. The fact that the most of the big American and English merchants there employ German clerks is astrong evidence in itself of the German conquest. found in their recognition of the shrewdness ingenuity of Germans in business. g eae The American and English merchants, the fully realizing now gradually but steat | Germans are pushing their trade in China, "1 come now jealous and apprehensive of the nese merchants. This is forgetting a thin greater importance for what really amounts small thing. But such is the case with big American and English merchants, espectally in Manchuria. If any of them suffer # loss, i never stops a moment and thinks of studying « to the real situation, the change of business meth- ods and the process of commercial vicissitudes in relation to his failure, but he is sure to jum at the conclusion that all his loss was about by the encroachments of the Japa chants upon his privilege through unlawful a dishonest means. No wonder that every ®& inten, mony ment with regard to Manchuria and the Japanes merchants reported by him to his country wee of the mark! : oa What I most deplore is that not a few © people in his own country too often believe reports inconsiderately and allowed themselt be carried in the same stream of anti-Jar sentiment. So with the newspapers and ’ zines there. If there were occasionally some Je nalists who showed greater discernment, exprel candid opinions, defended the misunderstood and ~ the misrepresented, they were unheeded by the © clamoring masses, because the great failed to know that the commercial com : and the inevitable vicissitudes of fortune am rival merchants in the Far East were the pri causes of the misrepresentation of Japan. "38% ; base rumors that have frequently been cirotiiat among the masses of late both in the ant State#? of America and in England should onee it fluence the latter, who lead the thoughts oft people, the result would be indeed a serious) But I trust that such misrepresentation, of Ja pan never will succeed in moving sensiblé Aime cans, because not only was it their country the once in so friendly a manner so sincerely guided | and introduced Japan to Occidental civilizats ‘ee but also during many long years since—full “g a century—there never. was a single item of frie. tion in our intimate and friendly relations, and. Ps because even the present Anglo-Japanese al ; is but the very fruit borne of our tradi friendship with the American people. 4 With all the misrepresentations and adverse orithe cisms against her, Japan | has no unlawful ambi- tion, but all her endeav- ors are for her self-pres- ervation and for the peace and prosperity of the Far East. For these two ob- jects she has been strug- gling and will struggle in the future. These are her paramount ambitions, And she sincerely appeals to the sensible and conscien- tious Americans to recog- nize that there exists no fresh cause for apprehen- sion as ruinous to the good relations between Japan and the United: States, that Japan is only anxious to enter peaceful indus- trial competition with the American people and to contribute what she can to mutual prosperity and happiness. I do sometimes hear, of course, of clam- ors over racial questions in some parts of the United States, but at the same time I know of & powerful movement among patriotic Amerl- cans for the ca these patriotic Americans of insight and ho of the Chinese market to a great extent.

It asks no aid, financial or otherwise, from the liquor interests. It is moved to action by love of temperance and a desire to maintain and increase the industry, thrift, law, order, decency and morality of the community, It is composed of representative cit- izens who are closely identified with the growth and progress of the city, and on whose activities much of the future growth and progress of the city depends. ‘ This committee has prepared an appeal to the citizens of St. Louis, which is published else- where in this issue of the Sunday Post-Dispatcl’. It is a concise and clear presentation of the ab- solutely tenable arguments against State-wide prohibition. It is not an intolerant or epithetical arraignment of prohibitionists. It does not heed their classification of all men into drunkards and teetotalers. But it does take account of the funda- mental principles of democratic government, of the inherent right of a free people to self-govern- ment, and particularly does it emphasize the eco- nomic and moral effects which the adoption of the prohibitory amendment would produce—ef- fects which long and bitter experience with pro- hibition in other states has demonstrated as cer- tain to come. , The Defense Committee does not see prohibi- tion as a simple reversal of custom in relation to the liquor traffic. It views it more broadly through eyes that contemplate the moral welfare, peace and good order of the community and con- siders the material progress of the city as inevita- bly associated with and dependent upon the con- tinued activities of hundreds of 3mall merchants and shopkeepers, and the continued employment of thousands whose occupations are dependent on the continued employment of other thousands who happen to be employed by brewers. The Defense Committee shares with the pro- hibitionists the view that the question is a moral one, but it argues that the immorality involved is subsequent and consequent to prohibition itself. In this respect it has the advantage of being able to prove its contention. It is an undeniable fact and lawlessness for regularity. It ousts the or- derly, regulated saloon and opens the door to the disorderly dive, the wineroom and the den. It paves the way for official corruption and breeds contempt of law. The iniquities that are born of constitutional prohibition, the economic evils, the industrial setbacks and the general viciousness are al] set forth in the pamphlet of the committee. Special attention is given to the relation of potential pro- hibition to the civic and industrial situation in St. Louis and Missouri. This situation, especially in respect to St. Louis, is unique because never before in this country has there been a threat of the kind directed at a city of the first class. The appeal is such as would naturally be pre- sented by just and fair-minded men to an intelli- gent people, and the Post-Dispatch bespeaks for it the earnest study and the calm consideration of every voter and every citizen who has the wel- fare and progress of St. Louis and the State at heart. The issue is vital and a mistake would be irreparabie. The damage to St. Louis and Mis- souri would be wrought beyond recall. == % — -_ a A Massachusetts millionaire claims to have cured indigestion by swallowing sterilized sand; but unless you are a millionaire yourself, don’t

WHAT TROUBLES RHODE ISLAND. Rhode Island is to make Senator Aldrich’s pri- vate fortune and annual expenditure the chief tissue of her campaign. If the issue seem small from this distance, it must be remembered the State is not large. In fact the two appear to fit one another very well. Moreover, since the Sen- ator is to retire from politics, it is just as well that his neighbors take stock of him before he departs. The facts of record are these: When Aldrich entered politics he was a comparatively poor man. During the greater portion of his career his salary was $5000 a year. He has had ro lucrative business nor profession, visible to his constituents. Nevertheless he has managed tc maintain a sumptuous establishment at War- wick Neck and a steam yacht in commission as well as his home in Washington. , His»annual expenditures are estimated at $150,000 a year. That is quite a large outlay from a statesman’s revenue, and to have saved money on it argues gomething more than financial ability and New England thrift. No wonder his neighbors are unwilling for him to quit the game without a showdown,

The irony of fate was exemplified in the un- veiling, by the President of France, of a monu- ment to Pierre Joseph Proudhon, who has been called the father of anarchism. Sworn foe of police and military, persecuted throughout his life by the governments of Europe, declaring that “property is robbery,” his statue is now unveiled by the head of the French army, backed by a strong detachment of police and soldiery. Nothing could be more conclusive of the fact that we are now enjoying a period of intellectual enlightenment. The light of intellect is {llumin- ating many a dark corner, and the man who has

SUNDAY MORNING,

as an intellect and a will that Proudhon appeals tc intellectual] France, though it may not be ready to subscribe to al} his teachings. Like Voltaire, Proudhon was a life-long fighter for individual liberty and against every form of oppression. The state to him represented noth- ing but organized coercion—a monster whose activities constantly warped and destroyed the most wholesome of human ideals. In his time, the modern functions of government which pro- tect men in their rights and tend to promote and conserve industrial and social life, were either unknown or just being conceived. It is, perhaps, in recognition of the fact that| Proudhon’s dream of 4 non-coércivée society is being increasingly realized, that France now hon- ors the dreamer. : % —__—__—_-#0-@ ‘ With Bryan insurging against Democracy and Roosevelt insurging against Republicanism, it is surely stormy weather for Bourbons and:stand- patters. as | = & rr FASHIONS FOR WOMEN AND MEN. By way of proving the ridiculousness of fash- icns and the slavish adherence of women thereto, it is recorded that no woman can henceforth be fashionably dressed unless she wears two chemises, one chemise being the subject for ex- uberant humor. The report is . particularized: One of the two is a “bolster slip,” the other a “Greek chiton,” which share equally in component elements of laughter. The hobble gown, the coal- scuttle hat ahd the mussy headdress are never mentioned in masculine circles except with hu- morous intent. But are the men less involved and enslaved? They don’t wear hobbles, but we note that “peg tops” are “going out.” Their outer garment may not have long revers or be semifitted, but it is written that the cutaway is coming back in favor. They may not bother about corsages and they sniff if passamenterie is mentioned, but they look serious and interested when they hear that the waistcoat of rainbow hue will be the vogue. It is needless to refer to the variations and variega- tions of masculine neckwear, and who has not seen a grown man, apparently sane, with the brim of his Alpine headgear dipped rakishly to leeward? The straw hat comes and goes on arbitrary dates. No account fs taken of its porous accom- modation to the weather. The mercury may soar to 90 on Sept. 10, but on that date fashion-en- thralled man must eschew comfort and seal his crown in hair-destroying, airtight felt or pay the penalty of being stared at. On that date, too, men must doff their summer mohairs and linens and array themselves in the sweating garb.of fashion’s choice. Do the women do more than this? What is the difference be- tween them? Wouldn’t the men wear fur hoods in August if it was so written, or openwork lace collars in January? They would. And they would look superior and sneer at any woman who would venture to assert it was an absurd style. = = rw we Velvet, says the latest decree of fashion, will be worn a great deal this seasdn by those who are on it.

és... = = i a A LOVERS OF LIMELIGHT. Among the items of news of a single day were announcements that Sarah Bernhardt is playing an engagement on a music hall stage in London, that Lillian Russell was to exhibit herself as a model at a dressmakers’ convention in Chicago and that Miss Anne Morgan is to keep a stall at a woman suffrage fair in New York City. Each and all of*these things are what is known to the vaudeville theater as “stunts.” They are performances on the big variety stage of life. The motives of ,the actors are probably diverse, but each one wants to be in the limelight. Sarah Bernhardt, a veteran, lingering super- fiuous on the stage, cannot hold her own with the younger generation of artistic Paris, but in a music hall performance in London, she can still make audiences sit up and stare. Lillian Russell no longer thrills the theater public with the presentation of the feminine form perfected, but she can still be the cynosure of all eyes, by tak- ing the platform in a dressmakers’ convention and giving an ocular demonstration of how the perfection was achieved. As for Miss Morgan, she could easily give from her own purse or from that of her fond father, more money to the suffrage cause than the whole fair will take in, but then she would not be in the stall or know the joy of the flattery of the crowd. These are three forms of gratifying vanity, but before we call it a feminine trait let us remember Roosevelt. He also likes the limelight and may yet take to running a wild west show just for the joy of it.

= = * — ae a PENALIZING IMPROVEMENTS. There is a pleasant sound of prosperity about ii when Nebraska foots up its assessment rolls and advertises an increase in the taxable value of improved lands from $19,178,000 to $24,819,000 in 12 months. This rate of increase would be remarkable, even if it were not accompanied by depressed condi- tions of assessments against franchise-holding corporations, whose annual increase is less than a twentieth of that on improved lands. In that connection, it will be well for Ne- braska and other states to note that prosperity advertisemefits of this kind Rave been over- worked considerably beyond the point of reac- tion. “When those who invest hard labor and hard- earned savings in improving land, find their tomes and other improvements systematically exploited by the familiar device of watering tax- able values, they may have no recourse except to move. Many of them who may be ready to move may be much. more anxious to find a location where they will not be systematically exploited than they are to pin their faith to results from booms showing 25 per cent a year increase in assessmnents which operate to penalize improve- ment. :

51 YEARS OF KINDNESS. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It is written in the philosophy of Patrick Mar- tin, teamster extraordinary, that a whip and a horse should be kept about as far apart as the green fields of-Ireland and the leaning tower of Pisa. And Pat has been driving horses for more than half a century. It was 51 years ago, to be exact, that Pat Mar- tin came down from an up-State farm and hired out to drive a wagon for the American Express Co. He’s been doing it ever since. The wold driver, whose driving code consists only of kindness, was awarded a medal with 10 bars, one for each five years of service, by the Workhorse Parade Society on Labor day. “Sure, I haven’t any set rules,” he said las night. “I like to be outdoors. I eat three times a day and sleep every night regular. I’ve al- ways been treated like a man and never missed a day’s pay in 61 years. So I needn’t do any kickin’. “But I always remember that if I work hard on the seat, the horse works harder in the shafts. So I spare the whip.”

MINISTERIAL SALARIES From Harper's Weekly. According to a new Government bulletin the ministerial profession is not in so bad a case in this day and generation as we are sometimes led to suppuse. In 1906 there were 164,830 Christian ministers in the United States: they were iIncreas- ing at the rate of about 4000 a year, and they were paid an average salary of $663: It is, esti- mated that this year a hundred million dollars wiil be paid in this country for ministers’ sa!- aries, anc’ twice as much more ‘or maintenance of expenses. Three hundred millions fs a fair sum of money—twice the cost of the pension list; snore than cvr annual payment for naw automobi!ss. —_— Suppose He’d Had a Typewriter. From the London Chronicle. For rapidity of composition the prize among novelists must be awarded to Alexander Dumas, who died with more than three thousand books to his credit, in all of which he had some share. According to Arthur F. Davidson, one of. his biographers, he often declared that when once he had mapped out in his mind the scheme of a novel or a play the work was practically accomplished, since the mere writing of it presented no diffi- culty and could be performed as fast as the pen could travel. Some one disputed this and the re- sult was a wager. Dumas had in his head the plan of the “Cheva- lier. de la Maison Rouge,” of which he had not yet written ‘a word, and he made a bet of 100 louis that he would write the first volume of the novel in J2 hours. The volume was to be formed by 75 large foolscap pages, each line 50 letters. In 66 hours Dumas had done the work in his fair, flow- ing hand, disfigured by no erasions—and the bet was won with six hours to spare.

Untaxed Trade. From the Springfield Republican. Under free trade with the Philippines exports to the islands have increased about 70 per cent with- in the first year of the new policy and imports therefrom have increased about 100 per cent. This tells us how to obtain a larger foreign trade if we want it. To tax trade is not the way to promote trade. oe a No Strawberries Then. From the Chicago Journal. There is no word for “strawberry” fn ancient Greek, the people of those times and that country having had no acquaintance with the luxury.

The Place to Settle It. From the Atchison Globe. In heaven you Will live forever and have noth- JUST A MINUTE. IF ALL TIME WERE FALL TIME. I. If all time were Fall time, A fellow would all time Be loafing around in the brush With his gun and his dogs, Trying brush heaps and logs, To see what a fellow could flush. He never would step foot again in a house, But would wandér around in a mild And harmless content, Caring not where he went, While he followed the call of the wild. II. If all time were Fall time, A man would have small time For work and for doing the chores. He’d get his old clothes And contentedly nose Around in the great out-of-doors. He’d put up in caves and the hollows of trees, And his gun would keep food in the pot And he wouldn’t care none, The old son-of-a-gun, Whether school ever took up or not. ITI. If al] time were Fall time, We'd all have a tall time To make anybody come in, For he’d live at his ease, And he’d tumble bee-trees Till the honey dripped off of his chin. He’d live like an Indian out in the woods, Without either trouble or fret, And he’d dream out his life Free from toll arid from strife, If all time were Fall time, you bet. PLAIN TALE FROM THE PLAINS. Col. Bryan sat in a crabappie tree while Col. Roosevelt raided his policy patch. The international Colonel was just climbing the fence when the Nebraska Colonel came down. “Here!” he said, seeking to toss prohibition in the loot. “The tail goes with the hide!” But Bwana Tumbo was off and away.

LONDON, Sept: great grandmother?” cheerily .asked “Divine Sarah” Bernhardt, the first thing on her arrival at Folkstone, as she surveyed a crowd of ad- mirers gathered to greet her. “It makes me feel so young.” The great actress was in youthful spirits and delighted with everything, active, graceful, bloom- ing—in fact a marvelous example of well pre- served womanhood at 65. “Just think,” she went on, “four generations of us! Dol look tired? Please don’t say I do.” She had played the night before at Roubaix, got to bed at 3 o’clock in the morning, risen: at 5, motored to Calais, and journeyed to London, where she arrived at 5 o’clock in the afternoon without the faintest sign of fatigue. “I really never feel tired,” she explained. “I attribute it to living for one thing—my art. Nothing else matters to me. I shall never re- tire. I dream of dying, like the great Irving, in the harness. Fancy dying after playing ‘Beckett’! What could be more gherious? HER LITTSH FLING AT ENGLAND. “My only regret is that on this journey I was forced to travel through Kent in a train instead of an automobile. A railroad desecrates such loveliness. Such peace, such peerless flocks of English sheep! Ah yes! When I think of En- giand I think of her two great products—sheep and Shakspeare.” Mme, Bernhardt said this with a faint twinkle in her eye, though it is commonly said that she has no sense of humor: She has dafly and nightly ovations at the Coliseum in the second act of “L’Aigion.” It is the first music hall she has ever appeared in. There was trouble at first when she feared she would be sandwiched be- tween performing elephants and trained dogs, but she afterward remarked that “this was a ground- less fear; nothing could be more refined than the whole performance.” She added: “It would be impossible for me to act in a French music hall, but the English ones are so superior in atmosphere, tone and program that amy artist can play here. Now let me tell you a secret. Rostand has written a version of Faust for me in which I shall play Mephis- topheles.” ROSTAND REWRITES FAUST FOR HER. This announcement she made in her dressing room at the Coliseum while still wearing the white and gold uniform of the Duke of Reichstadt, Surrounded by the elite in art, literature, the drama, and society, all eager to pay homage. “I have just finished reading tne manuscript,” she continued. “It thrilled me through and thorough. Rostand has followed the original closely and has divided the play into nine acts. My conception of Mephistopheles is somewhat different from that of the German artist. I im- agine Mephistopheles a fallen angel with some- thing of his former self still left in him—that is a trait of his psychology I shall attempt to portray.” Then the “Divine Sarah” turned to her Ameri- can tour, exclaiming: “This tour will be my first really sad experience in my artistic career, for it will be a real farewell to my American friends who have given me the greatest appreciation of my life. I particularly regret that I cannot play even one act of ‘Chanticleer’ there because Mr. Frohman owns the exclusive rights to the play. No translation can do justice to ‘Chanticleer,’ no one can feel the real beauty of, for example, the ‘Hymn to the Sun,’ except in the original. But there is nothing to be done. “My repertoire will be the most extensive ever attempted by any artist on a tour, including works from ‘Hamlet’ to Rostand’s delightful ‘Le Bois Sacre’ and Richepin‘s new play, ‘La Beffa.’ “In America I become not merely tireless but what you call strenuous. I remember playing there eleven times‘a week, each play having five acts. But the air invigorates one and all the exertion seemd as nothing.” -— — -~ - DREXEL LOOKING FOR A HOME FOR THE MAIDSTONES Special Cable From the London Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1910,.by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) LONDON, Sept. 24.—Frederick Townsend Martin ef New York, who is staying in Scotland with his brother, Bradley Martin, at Balmacaan, In- vyernshire, lIfvened up Glen Urquhart this week by providing a grand treat and Roman carnival for the children and the old people, among whom the Martins lived nearly thirty years. Nothing like it was ever before seen in the Highlands, and Frederick Martin had a great ovation when he addressed his guests, with whom he is exceeding- ly popular. In the Balmacaan party, besides the Martins, were Bradley Martin’s daughter, the Countess of Craven, her husband, Viscount Uffington, her son, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Lord and Lady Guernsey, Lady de Ramsey, Col. Hall Walk- er, Frank Otis, Louls Webb and Mrs, Edmond Bayliss. Anthony J. Drexel of Philadelphia and London is looking for a splendid country home for his daughter, Margarette, who married Viscount Maidstone last summer. Among other places he has inspected is Kirby Hall, a famous old estate in Yorkshire belonging to Lord Matdstone’s father, the Barl of Winchelsea. The edifice is practically a beautiful ruin and'it would cost more to make it habitable than it would to buy a suit- able country house. The stone carvings are ex- ceedingly fine and would sell for a considerable sum, but the Winchelsea family has always re- fused to sell any part of the place, hoping to restore it at some time.

Special Correspondence From the London Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Sept. 15.—Cleo de Merode, the beauti- ful Parisian, who was a favorite of the late King Leopold, has been delighting London in a series of classical and national dances. She came to London with only $250,000 in diamonds with her, leaving the rest of her jewelry at home be- cause it would be so bott-+rsome to put on and take off at two performances a day. In several dances she has been content to wear a single five-stone diamond necklet worth $75,000. She considers 10 pieces of jewelry sufficient for display in London, and these she keeps in a small green leather jewel box, which is looked after by an elderly French woman who chaperons the dancer. “Tt is so short a time, two weeks,” said Mlle. de Merode, “so I did not bring very much with me.

A single diamond of Koh-i-Noor-like dimensions blazed in the center, and was set off by four stones of the size of a finger nail. The value of the cross was $26,000. Then she left $250,000 of diamonds on the dress- ing table and went for some tea, with not 80 much as a brooch at her throat or a ring on her finger. — = S - i i CAT WITH RABBIT HEAD IN A RABBIT SHIPMENT Special Correspondence From the London Bureau of the Poat-Dispatch. LONDON, Sept. 15.—Dr. Thomas, the medical officer of health for Finsbury, tells a strange story in his annual report. “In the summary of the meat seized,” he says, “there is a cat which deserves a little fuller notice, “This cat came as one of a consignment of rabbits and packed in a case with them in the ordinary way from Ostend. “The cat, a fat, sleek, well-matured animal, weighing about four pounds, had been decapitated, its tail removed, and its carcase had been dex- terously attached to the emaciated head of a rabbit, sewn on by ordinary grey thread. “The rabbit's head was much emaciated, and probably belonged to a diseased animal. The cat was offered as.an efficient substitute. “On a previous occasion three carcases of cat- rabbit had been confiscated in like manner.” = = - - GREEK IS PASSING AT OXFORD.

It happened at Cova’s restaurant, where all Milan goes to eat spaghetti and macaroni. Tos- canini entered with Mascagni and bumped into Puccini. Fashionable Milan waited in suspense for the discordant clash that all expected would follow the chance encounter of the two noted composers who have been at sword’s point for a long time. Toscanini was again the happy director of the situation, even «though in the operatic scales it was a comic opera and by a dextrous move of his baton hand he hurled Mascagni into Puccini’s fat arms, which opened to receive him. Then they’ made up and the diners began-anew their onslaught on macaroni. Mascagni told all about his coming tour of the United States with “Yso- bel,” while Puccini forecast the triumph he ex- pects to achieve with “The Girl of the Golden West.” Both composers were so happy talking about themselves that they forgot their old quar- rei and drank toasts to each other's success in golden America. > -— = QUREN MARY’S HUNGARIAN ANCESTORS.

FOLKSTONE, England, Sept. 14.—An interna- tional beauty pageant, held recently at this at- tractive fashionable watering place on the south- east coast of England, caused the Victoria Pier Pavilion to overflow with admiring people. Six of the comeliest English women here were chosen to represent that nation and to compete for the capital prize. Foremost among them was Miss Mamie Whittaker, who just previously had entered another beauty contest and was crowned the beauty queen of England. She wore her crown during this contest. Besides the English women there were belles from Paris, Naples, Belgium and Valencia. In this pageant the spectators were the judges and the prizes were awarded by their votes. On- leokers were invited to take into consideration not only the beauty of face and figure, but also grace and dignity. When the ballots were count- ed it was found that 164 had been cast for Miss Kitty Darffig of 16 Cecil avenue, Plymouth. .That vote carried with it the first prize. Miss Whittaker received 100 votes.and the sec- ond prize. The third prize went to Mile. Simone de Beryl of Paris. Miss Darling {s fair of complexion, dresses simply and wears her hair in long plaits hanging on either side. She has posed as an artist’s model. One of the most striking figures among the contestants, though she won no prize, was Countess d’Orerok. But the most picturesque of all, because of their quaint costumes, were two handsome girls from the fisherfolk of this region. 4 a &.& we |S “QUEEN OF THE SEA” IS A TOBACCONIST’S DAUGHTER Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch.

His brilliant work surprised the critics who were mostly ignor- ant of Minkowski's antecedents and unaware that his “Smuggler of Bajadoz” was played 400 times in America. : Minkowskt’s work as a voice trainer has re- sulted in his producing delightful melodies. Some from “The Fairest Woman” are already being sung by the public here.

It was a good play Well played, and Dramatist Thomas, suc- a1 though ‘he has been in the writ- ing@ewof plays of a different tenor, is Wise in returning to its homely enviton- fhent’ for his later inspiration. ; The touch of naturé that makes the Whole world kin is also what makes highest value in drama. Mr. Thomas veals this touch when he contents Riu heertily now, because of ‘‘The Himself with a Miogsuri theme. ® a ¥ \ That essential touch of nature is pre- isely what was lacking in ‘‘The Dol- fer Mark” of George Broadhurst’s writ- a remarkable “play of affairs of y,”” which so noisily assailed our rs with futile clamor and so grievously wearied our eyes with vain action at the Garrick this past week. ,If is really an ominous reflection on thd condition of the drama in thfS coun- ‘ when such a play as “The Dollar Mark” can command a production so ambitious and be heralded to the public as Of such serious and worthy import.

Of these ten newborn plays seven are cradled in New York. ‘Decorat- ing Clementine,’ the American adap- tation of De Caillavet and De Flers’ “Le Bois Sacre,” in which Charles Frohman is starring Hattie Williams and G. P. Huntley, is at the Lyceum. “Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford,” the George M, Cohan dramatization of George Randolph Chester’s’ short stories, is at the Gatety. “The De- serters,’ with Helen Ware as its star and its plot based on a romance of the United States Secret Service, is at. the Hudson. “Con &gCo.,” an American comedy made from a French original, is at the Nazimova. Sam Bernard in “He Came From Milwau- kee,” a&@ new musical comedy, is at the Casino. ‘“Anti-Matrimony,” an American satire: by Percy Mackaye, with Henrietta Crosman in its star role, is at the Garrick, and “The Lit- tle Damosel,” a new play of diverting character by Monckton Hoffe, is at the Comedy. In addition, Arnold Daly: produced ‘The Wedding Journey” at Atlantic City last Monday’ evening, Charles Dillingham presented “The Girl in the Train” in Philadelphia, and David Belasco staged ‘The Con- cert” in ‘Pittsburg. Thus does one of, the most crewded weeks of an early season reach its close. All the new plays are reported as having scored successes—but you never can tell about these first-night verdicts. The great playgoing pub- lic, in sessions somewhat more delib- erate, is still to be heard ftom. York and other Eastern cities, Lon- don is said to be both laughing and crying over the humor and pathos of “Nobody’s Daughter,” @ new drama by George Paston, the pen-name of a woman playwright as yet unknown to fame. The title role figure in‘this drama is a girl born out of wedlock, whose mother later marries a wealthy manufacturer and her father a proud society woman. Time brings the two families together as neighbors, with the girl living mid- way between them in an humble cot- tage. Her parents know her as their child, but she is ignorant of the rela- tionship, and the big emotional scene of the play comes when they meet, at her lowly home, to discuss her proposed marriage to a young engineer whom she loves. Both mother and father, proud of the girl, whom they represent as their class in life, to which end, desirous of breaking off her engagement to the engineer, she is taken to visit her moth- er, whom she believes to be merely one of her two guardians. This leads to the discovery, by the mother’s husband and the father’s wife, of the umhappy love affair of years past, of which tne girl was.the offspring. The father’s wife, reasoning that she has no claim on her husband's past, quickly forgives him— and just how the mother’s husband, at first clamoring for a divorce, is led to adopt the same view gives rise to much wy the play’s comedy. The curious little play is said to be brilliantly presented and has become the big London success of the hour. in :character is the “The Most Beautiful Minkowski, a soon to be Distinctly . novel new light opera, Women,” by Giacomo { Polish-American ‘composer, : heard by Berlin audiences. The time of this new work’s dramatic story is that of Beau Brummel, the En- gitah dandy, and its scenes are set in England and Scotland, with Brummel as one Of_its characters. The most im- portant masculine role, however, is that of the Duke of Teck, and the title part is that of Lady Grace Eliot, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, with whom Teck»is in love. This situation gives rise to what is said to be-a sparkling comedy set to brilliant music, and the story so shapes itself that one of. its most picturesque characters .is that of Mirandalina, pre- miere ballerina of Covent Garden, the ballet thus gaining a dramatic set- ting of unusual value. A sextette dance and song by Beau Brummel and five other dandies of his day is a feature, and there is also a charming ‘tea quartet” and a “muff trio” of the most piquant. originality. Rudolf Lothar, a famous German librettist, wrote the book.

PLAYS OF WIDE RANGE ARE Ths WEEK'S BOOKING St. Louis Playgoers Have Varied Choice, With Vau- deville Also Plentiful.

At the Olympic tonight and this week the attraction will be Augustus Thom- as’ new play of Missouri life, “The Member From Ozark,” a timely Ameri- can drama in four acts, under the man- agement of Cohan & Harris, who have provided a carefully selected company of capable players and an impressive scenic investiture. Mr. Thomas, author of many success- ful plays, is said again to reveal his master-craftsmanship at its best in this new work, which tells the story of the battle for the right against might in the political arena, yet is In no sense a mere discussion or dissertation upon po- litical conditions nor solely a somber object lesson in the chicanery of ‘‘graft.’’ The play’s scenes are laid in Jefferson City, the first act showing the dooryard of the home of “the member from @zark;"’ the second, a room in the Gov- ernor’s mansion; the third, a section of the legislative chamber in the Capitol, and the fourth act the document room adjoining the legislative chamber. The third act scene is one of the most effective ever presented on the Ameri- can stage, representing a joint session of the State Legislature and climaxing in the attempted assassination of the Governor of Missouri, who has been lured upon the floor by political trick- sters. Mr. Frederick Burton plays the leading role of Desha Poultney, “‘the member from Ozark,’” and the supporting com- pany is admirably cast. “Seven Days,’ a comedy by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery’ Hap- wood, which for a year past has been breaking all records at the Astor Theater, New York, begins a week's engagement at the Century § this evening. The play is said to be irresistibly funny, its story dealing with New York's “smart set” and its scenes, three in number, laid in a Riverside Drive residence. The scenic produc- tion under Wagenhals & Kemper's management is described as elaborate and beautiful, and the play has a real plot which takes a strong hold upon one’s interest at the start and main- tains it to the finish. It is still run- ning at the Astor, and every member of the company to be geen in St. Louis has appeared in the New York cast during its long metropolitan run. The St. Louls cast Includes Willard Louis, Harriet Worthington, Helen Cullinan, Claire Greenville, Ida Wat- erman and other excellent players, Lew Dockstader and his Twentieth Century Minstrels come to the Gar- rick for the week opening with to-

Critics of the premiere performance aver that the play’s London audience found ‘“‘A Boit from the Blue” ,as iref- fective as a damp squib, and that, aside from the marvelous Apache makeup of Mr. Dannis Eadie and a bewilderingly beautiful white satin gown worn by Miss Irene Vanbrugh, there is little to be remembered. So great an amount of ‘‘Frenchiness” had to be cut out of the play’s lines before it could be presented to English playgoers that there seems to be little of interest left. seems to have come an English crop-. The play’s story is intensely melo- dramatic. Claude Brevin, starving, agrees to murder Irma Lurette, an ac- tress, and obtain certain papers. In her apartments, with the woman at his mercy, he relents because of a sudden love for her, and not only does not slay her himself, but saves her from a vil- lainous Apache who came in the dead of night to rob her and, finding her awake, would have murdered her to gain his booty. The actress gives Brevin the papers desired by the villain ia whose pay he is, but, when the latter would have made the required payment, Brevin burns the papers before his eyes and the play reaches its happy ending with two fond hearts united, virtue triumphant and vice “foiled again!’’ “It is really all excessively silly,’’ writes one London critic.

like. anything ever seen before is promised. The rise of the curtain inaugurates the “Possum Hunt Club Revue,” and an amusing story, with book and lyrics by Vincent Bryan, runs through the entire performance. Dur- ine the course of the entertainment Lew Dockstader startles the audience bv flying over their heads in an acro- plane, and among other features are a travesty on “Pinafore,” “The Island of Chanticler;” a spectacular dancing act entitlea “Louisiana,’’ and other novelties. The company includes Lew Dock- stader, Carroll Johnson, Bddie Ma- gier, “Happy’’ Naulty, Charles Falk, Harry A. Ellis, Tom McKenna and 80 others. “The Port of Missing Men,” a dra- matization of Meredith Nicholson's successful novel, begins a week’s en- gagement at the American this aft- ernoon. The leading role of John Armitage will be played by Hugo B. Koch, a former 8t. Louigan, who 80 greatly distinguished himself cs Bates, the butler, in last season’s pre- sentation of “The House of a Thou- send Candles” at the American, and a competent company is in his sup- port. The dramatized version by E. E. Rose closely follows the original story and is said to be absorbingly interesting. Julian Rose, the. favorite Hebrew comedian, who now returns to 8t. Louis after an absence of several years, will head the new Dill at the Princess this week. Other fedtures are Lamb’s Manikins, a miniature play in a miniature theater, especially pleasing to children; McMahon’s Wat- ermelon Girls, in 9» new act; the Kanazawa Japanese, a big versatile treupe; Alva York, @ charming En- glish singing comedienne; Rice and Cohen, clever entertainers; Conway and Leland, eocentriques, and Ruth Densmore, in a musical act. fhe in- termissions introduced by Manager Fishell midway im the bill are prov- ing a popular feature, ‘‘A Night in a Monkey Music Hall,” a big animal act novelty, presented by Miss Maud Rochez and her trained sim-

ARLISS TOPLAY

BEACONSFIELD Ih ENGLISH DRAMA New Play by Louis N. Parker Stages Figure of Great British Premier.

Admirers of the admirable art of that excellent actor, George Arlizs, will ex- pect much from the play now being written for him by Louis N. Parker, the English. playwright, of which the late Lord Beaconsfield is to be the cen- tral figure. The play is to be ready early in No- vember, and it is thought that it will give Arliss the best opportunity of his entire career. It is said that the story in which Beaconsfield appears is in- ies dramatic and that it presenjs him=at the moment of his fullest power as the British Premier at a particularly exciting period of English history. It is conceded that Arliss can “look the part’ to the life, and his sublle methods of character portrayal should lend themselves with peculiar effective- ness to a delineation of the craftily wise Disraeli, who compelled Great Fritain to amend its early estimate of him as a political charlatan and accept him os one of the greatest statesmen of his time. Mr. Arliss purposes to wnake this country the scene of the play’s premiere production.

~ NOW OP AT OLYMPIC HOW AUGUSTUS THOMAS - REHEARSES HIS PLAYS

Augustus Thomas, who has over forty plays to his credit, and whose new drama of Missouri life, “The Member From Ozark,” is now the offering at the Olympic Theater, is one of the few playwrights who sucsessfully produce and stage their own works. His meth- ods in this field are distinctly original. : Instead of a first reading of the play to the company which he carefully se- lects, followed by successive rehearsals in which the players themselves read their parts and then, later, memorize them, Mr. Thomas begins at once with the cast in active co-operation. The company is called together, the scheme of the stage setting is outlined, places of entrance and exit indicated, the foot- lights turned “full up,” Mr. Thomas seats himself about seven rows back in the center of the playhouse, and speak- ing through a small megaphone, says, “Curtain!— Curtain is up!’’ Whereupon the first character steps upon the stage, reads the first line in the play from manuscript, and the rehearsal is under way. : The playwright-producer makes no comment if lines are properly read, and at. no time does he “‘hector’”’ the players, his idea being to gain their complete confidence and encourage them to their best endeavor. When moments of im- portant situations or groupings are reached, Mr. Thomas steps on the stage and arranges the players in proper posi- tion precisely as would a photographer posing them before the camera. Each act is rehearsed until all are letter per- fect in their parts, and then the next act is taken up. The Thomas method makes of the producer a teacher, not a tormentor. Its advantages were never better {llustrated than in the#rehearsals of “The Member From Ozark,” where, in one situation, over sixty-five persons are on the stage at oné time. “The Fourth Estate,” the grippingly dramatic play of newspaper life by Joseph Medill Patterson amd Harriet Ford, which has won the . distinction of being the only ‘“‘newspaper play” to achieve a big stage success, will be- gin a two-weeks engagement at the Garrick next Sunday night. Telling an intensely interesting story, this play is said to present astonish- ingly faithful pictures of the daily op- eration of a great New York paper, and its scenic prouction, by Liebler & Co., is characterized as of the utmost fi- delity in its complete realism. The play’s hero is a managing editor who, in the interests of justice and in fhe line of publio service, which is a news- paper’s high mission, exposes the crook- edness of a corrupt judge of the United States Court at the risk of utterry blighting his own career, and, interwov- en with this, there is also a heart- romance of compelling nature, the editor being in love with the daughter of the judge whom he unmasks. A close study of the actual working of a great news- paper plant has been made, and the ‘local color’ is announced as Being absolutely accurate. ‘The Fortune Hunter,” to the Olympic next week, is by Winchell Smith and tells of the hu- morous and pathetic situations cre- ated by young Nathaniel Duncan's confronting of the problem of ac- time. It is produced by Cohan & Har- Miss Alma Belwin as the country girl with whom he falls tn love, and Frank Bacon as the old inventor-druggist who, with the “fortune hunter,” sud- denly is elevated from penury to af- fluence. *Al H. Wilson, the German @lalect comedian, in “Metz in Ireland,” his greatest success, with a budget of new songs, will begin a week's em: gagement at ths Sersywry ~~ Srepap Oct. 9, following the two-cweetts’ ope gagement of “Seven Days.” Mr. Wil- son is conceded to be the greatest German dialect comedian since the time of the late J.

REM BRAND? PCORTHAT.

SYVRS. JAMES C. CALTPBELLZ.

Now Comes the Delightful but Quiet Time of Informal House Parties, Veranda Bridge Parties, Horseback Rides and Country Club Suppers.

S arrival of society folk from T. LOUIS society is on the threshold of the little season. This designa- tion long ago was given to the rather informal times between the their summer pleasurings and the beginning of the formal season in early November when the debutantes are formally presented at more or less elaborate dinner dances, balls and s¥iopticas. The little season is altogether pleasant. It has its beginning in long walks, horsebacks rides with informal suppers at the country clubs, week- end house parties and # game of bridge for twelve or sixteen guests on the home or club veranda. It runs along merrily, giving all due glory to our Veiled Prophet, his festivities, and all the pretty maids and handsome matrons who grace his court on the first Tuesday in October until it ¢atches up the -weddings and blossomings and finally is lost in the holiday season. There is unlimited interest displayed in the bazaar to be given by Mrs. Ed- ward F. Cost in her suite at the Wash- ington Hotel Tuesday, Nov. 1. Interest from two standpoints first, that Mrs. “ost has made every pieve in the collec- tion (300 articles included) with her needle; second, that every article is of original design. _ Mrs. Cost has been an invalid for the past six years, in which,time she has not left her room. She has been in her bed for many months. Mrs. Cost is a woman of brilliant mind and very large fortune, and, to use her own words, “I try to help all depending Chamties a little and intend giving my Hfe ‘o such work providing. I have the sup? ort of my friends in the future, as I have had in the past.” Every afternoon Mrs. Cost’s apart- ment is filled with a bevy of young girls who read, play and sing and en- tertain her. Mrs. Cost’s charity is most compre- hensive. During the very hot weather she supplied one of the most deserving and largest charities with ice cream. She constantly employs three blind women, who are kept busy crocheting and knitting lace for hand-embroidered towels and bed linen; three women who ‘supply her with novelties in rag dolls. These are sold by Mrs. Cost and the fund devoted to some charity, which _ with Mrs. Cost, is undenominatidnal. The articles to be on sale on Nov. Cost will have as her lieutenants ten of her girl friends, all prominent in fashionable circles, will include a large ‘“‘lady doll,”” with com- _ plete wardrobe of ball gown and wrap, afternoon, morning and lounging robes, lingerie and millinery. This doll will be raffled. Another doll will be a guessing contest doll, donated by Mrs. John Sullivan of Lindell boulevards There will be a candy and novelty table. Mrs. Cost has made a specialty of bags, silk bedroom slippers, rugs and gentlemen's ties. In the collection of bags are many works of art in design, olor and workmanship. These bags are finished with novelty Japanese cords, tassels and ivory slides brought to Mrs. Cost from California, and are *pullt of sweet grass and silk, brocades, ‘silk poplins richly embroidered, jeweled and fringed. The bags comprise opera, work, Yngerie, automobile, matinee, slipper and maternity bags. The linens in- clude tea and coffee doilies, hand- drawn, and embroidered pillows, in- fants’ caps and slips, towels and nap- kins. In the collection are a number of hand-sewn and hand-woven rugs of beautiful design. There are no end of lovely table scarfs, all jewel embroidered, also sofa pillows. The silk slippers and silk heart pin- cushions, where the daintiest - and richest ribbons are employed, are one of Mrs. Cost’s chief delights. The pretty mattress cushions, powder puff bags, sewing chatelaines, are lovely in their pastel shades. Mrs. Cost has marked her exquisite work at unusually small prices, ‘for 1 want them, my friends and purchss- ers, to be sure to come again.” Mrs. Cost has private orders for almost all Ser articles, but is now devoting her wme to supplying pretty things for the zabaar. The private arders to pe executed and delivered later will keep the needle busy for many months. i] The engagement of Miss Grace Mec- * Gulloch, daugtiter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard McCulloch, and Thomas E. Powe, formerly of Cheraw, N. C., but now of St. Louis, was announced at a dinner given by Dr. and Mrs. Horatio ‘N. Spencer.

SOURI WASTES SUNFLOWER SEED IN HER IGNORANCE Supposed Valueless Product Can Be Put to Many Uses, Red Book Says. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. lions of pounds of sunflower seed are allowed to go to waste in Missouri an- nually, simply because it is not gener- ally known tnat they can be used for food for man, as well as animals, and therefore have a commercial value,” says the 1910 Red Book ef the Bureau of Figures made public by Labor Commissioner J. C. A. Hiller yesterday show that in the year 1908 about 400,000 pounds of the seeds were sent to market by Missouri's 114 ceun- ties, and that about $4000 was realized by the sale of the same. “While originally a native ef tropical 24.—"*Mil- ily separating the kernel from the hull. ‘In Missouri the sunflower is found amid rubbish, as well as in the rich lands of the southeastern section of the State and in the foothills of the Ozarks. Goats thrive on the plant, eating every- thing from the seeds and petals down to the coarse, rough stalks and the roots. ange seed is often used, mixed with oth- er feed, for poultry, and parrots espe- cially enjoy this menu, forming a food which was a mainstay for them in the trepical regions. Sunflower Counties. “The sunflower counties of Misseuri, that is the ones which marketed the most seed in 1909,’’ according to the fig- ures of Supervising Statistician A. T. Edmonston ef the Labor Bureau, are Butler, St. Chagles, St. Louis, Jackson, Ste. Genevieve, Greene, Buchanan, Jas- per and Mississippi, probably because they are cleser to the larger cities than the ether counties. It is but the ques- tion of time before all vacant lands of this State not of great value for cul- tivation or pasture purposes will be planted with sunflower seed and turned into use in that way. “ An oil closely resembling olive oll, but of course inferior in quality, is made by pressing sunflower seeds. It is -very palatable, easily digested, and has a high food value. In this respect it is said to be superior to our cotton- seed oil, which is put to so many uses in domestic life and in art and science. “In portions of Europe a food for in- everywhere, growing in vacant city lots margarine and several other cooking ering the value of the seed. Cultivation Is Profitable. jant sowie of good fuel without consid- { TUDENT ‘ M. . l) \ ' “It is estimated that §© bushels of seed can be grown on an acre of ground. A bushel of seeds yields a gal- ion of oil. Figuring that the oil is as valuable as the cottonseed variety, which in 1909 averaged about 40 cents, one acre of sunflower seed will produce oil worth $20, which means that the farmer’s share would be about $12, and the remainder to the manufacturer, and out of which sums both would of course meet all their expenses. . “As sunflowers can easily be grown in corners ‘and in lands of little use for anything else it would pay to produce more. The oil can be used; like. cotton- seed oil, in the manufacture of oleo- preparations. ‘ “The sunflower is freely used for many purposes in China. The fiber of the stalk, which has great strength, is woven into fabrics, some of which when properly colored and prepared have a silky fee] and appearance. Such use also could be made of the fiber here. ‘In tropical America the plant at- tains a height often of 2 feet and has a flower over a foot tin diameter. In Missouri it grows sometimes to 10 feet, with flowers in proportion. The future will develop other uses for the sun- flower.”’ SENATE TRIES 10 ABOLISH HAZING Effort Will Be Made to Sub- stitute Pushball Contest for Violent Flag Rush. COLUMBIA, Mo., Sept. 2—The Mis- souri University student senate is tak- ing active steps te abolish hazing at the University. The student senate is com- nosed of seniors and is considered the mouthpiece of the faculty in matters pertaining to discipline. “‘Chi-chi-ing’’ assumed violent form at the opening of the year. A 17-year-old lad was so badly beaten with big paddles the first two days by sophomores that his father ceme for him and took him home. Hundreds of other freshmen have been paddled and made to do harmless stunts, such as climbing trees and poles, shining shoes, parading in lockstep with paint emeared on their faces and a trouse: ers pass along the principal streets dally. The police have not interfered, because the freshmen, either from the influence of tradition er from fear, do not report when they are beaten.

Stories of Vacation. Students come from all parts of the country. Many returning tell of their vacations. Frank See of Colum.- bia went to Hurope and saw most of England at a total expense of $18.50. See paid fare to St. Louis and tended cattle from East St. Loufs to New York City on a cattle train. He shipped to Liverpool as a guard on board a liner. On the way over he met a college lad, a nephew of the Duke of Manchester, working his way. See and this young man were met at Liverpool by the Duke and entertained. See returned to Amer- ica as guard on another liner and “bummed” his way home as a tramp. He was a “sub” on the Tiger basket ball team last year. Elmer and Edgar Anderson, track athletes and football players, spent their vacation working in the Kan- sas harvest fields, as did also a num- ber of Kansas City students. W. W.

Copyright, 1910, by the Press Pub. Co. w York Wo ing when the North German Lloyd steamship George Washington steamed into this harbor at 7:83 a. m., a victor over the American Tiner St. Pau] and the Hamburg-American Liner Amerika. According to wireless information, the St. Paul will arrive here at 12:30 p. m. and the Amerika is not expected be- fore 11 o’clock tonight. The three ocean greyhounds sailed from New York a week ago today. They departed from Sandy Hook about the same time. Capt. Wetten of the North German Lioyd will not admit that he was rac- ing, yet he does not deny that he burned a good deal more coal this trip than he swould have done had the other two steamships not started with him from America at the same time. The average of the George Washing- ton during the trip across the Atlantic Ocean was 18.86 knots per hour. Capt. Wetten said that he firmly believed his ship should have carried the United States mails in preference to the St. Paul, which proved a much slower boat than her German rival.

Special Cable ‘from. Paris From Pacquet A New Color Harmony | The history of dressmakers in Paris is like that of nations. There is always a new star. René Pacquet has left Paquin’s. He has bought the Blanche Lebouvier business and his following is among the aristocrati® set, the really grande dames. He has just completed a lovely dinner gown of coral mous- seline de soie, over creamy Liberty satin, divinely embroi- dered in mauve and coral velvet and silver leaves. The lace is point de Venise. Like all the new gowns it requires the most perfect dessous, * as the French call what is worn under the dress. Almost any souple close-fitting under muslins answer, but the cor.:t must be perfection. This season’s gowns simply cannot ne worn suc- cessfully over last season’s corsets. The Paris Style Bureau of the C/B a la Spirite corsets cables weekly advance news of the subtlest changes in fashions. This is why the C/B corsets are in absolute harmony with the lines prescribed by the leaders of fashion for the coming season, C/B corsets are worn by tens of thousands of perfectly dressed women. Are you one of them? Your figure is the answer. A woman is always as young as her figure. Weekly style cables from C/B Fashion Bureau in Paris are at least 60 days ahead of everything else. Extracts will appear in this same space every Sunday. These cables are published in full on the first of each month in a free booklet entitled **C/B Style Cables.’’ Ask for it at any corset counter or write us for it, Strouse, Adler & Co., 45 East 17th Street, New York. - a“

ops Webbing New Possibilities in Corset-Making at invention, Lastikops Webbing, enables us to produce won- results in corset-making. ps Webbing is firm enough lete support and long tic enough to assure

Fy as elastics do; and you’!l find that all the imitations of Lastikops We just as unreliable and disa as the old elastics. Newest Corset Invention For Slender Women Lastikops Corset £ 3 ; 0 0 Model No. 330 Not every woman needs abdominal reduction; but all women who wear corsets need abdominal SUPPORT. FACT:—Lots of slender women are buying Nemo Self-Reducing Corsets Nos. 522 and 523 in the smallest sizes (20 and 21); and we have had thou- sands of calls for sizes 18 and 19. THIS PROVES—That a host of slender women.are willing to wear a corset that is mot designed for slight figures, in order to secure the perfect support of the Lastikops Bandlet. AND NOW!—Thanks to our great invention, Lastikops Webbing, slen- der women have a PERFECT SUPPORT- ING CORSET ALL THEIR OWN—as great a godsend as our Self-Reducing Cor- set is to stout women. Go to any good store and ask for Nemo Ne. 330. When you put it on, you'll say: ‘‘What comfort!’’ Such a grateful sense of support—none of that cramped, bearing-down feeling, no matter how tightly you lace it. Then you’ll note how trim figure is—long lines, and fashionable slenderness with greatly increased ease, freedom af movement, ample

breathing space—perfect style and good health in combination. REASON:—A broad band of semi- elastic Lastikops Webbing slants across each side, following the nat- + ural curve of the abdomen, and pro- vides gentle but firm support for the delicate internal organs. Nemo Corsets have brought health, comfort and style to millions of stout women. Our new Lastikops Corset, No. 330, will be a blessing to other millions of their slender sisters. The Failure of Imitation No imitation is ever as good as the original. Imitators cannot lead—

Allimitations of Nemo Self-Reduc- ing Corsets have been flat failures, The present imitations of Lastikops Webbing are equally worthless. Look for the word ‘‘Nemo,’’ and accept no substitute—then you'll get satisfaction and your money’s worth. New Reducing Corset For Short Stout Figures With Lastikops Bandlet Nemo No. 522, with its wonderful Lastikops Bandlet, is the greatest corset success of the age—has no equal as a figure-reducer, But it isn’t quite suitable forashort stout figure; 80 we have made a new model— No. 523 at $5.00 —especially for stout women who are short- waisted.

LAWYER'S ‘AD’ FOR NEW COOK MAKES KENTUCKY LAUH Journalist and _ Politician Recites Woes of the Man Who Eats to Live: 4 LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 24.—Ken- tucky is laughing in sympathy Daniel E. O’Sullivan, journalist, yer, politician, who makes extraordinary concessions in hig for a new cook, now running Loutsville newspaper, closing the almost pathetic and yet alluring appeal that hig “last cook died of old age.’ Mr. O’Sullivan has just told why he advertised that the new cook's beaux could “ring the front door bell,” and has also given his views on cooks aS a general subject. Mr. O’Sullivan’s almost tearful, yet mirth-provoking, ad for a cook runs— WANTED—Experienced white cook in comfortable home, with hardwood floors, electric light. hot-air heater and natural gas; very small family; when extra guests the list will be submitted to the cook for approval; laundry done outside; no washing of dishes or house cleaning required: man who cleans steps and washes windows will lay fires for her; we take all daily papers and eight mag- azines, several continued stories just beginning: bottled beer always in ag erator; beaux can ring front door bell; mistress has references from last cook, who died of old age. Could Handle Policemen. Mr. O’Sullivan began his career as a newspaper man. He was managing e/i- tor of the Courier-Journal. He edited the Critic, a weekly. He was a mem- ber of the Board of Safety of Louisville. He learned how to handle policemen and firemen. Then he turned to the law and became Assistant City Attorney. And now he is practicing and is considered one of the “‘lights’’ of his profession in this city. But he has, with the ex- ception of the last’ cook, who ‘‘died of old age,’’ had a most harrowing ex- perience with cooks. He says, almost mournfully, in plead- ing his cause, ‘‘A cook is— ‘Variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made.” He further laments, ‘‘Train up a cook and away she goes.’ After a sigh he continues, “I have read somewhere the rule of success laid down by a great man, ‘Time and I against all things.’ I am following that rule. ‘Time and I’ may succeed in getting a cook. The only thing I am afraid of is that Time will last longer than I will. I need three meals a day and Time doesn’t.”’ But by his jourmalistic genius Mr. O’Sullivan hopes to lure a cook into in- timate acquaintance with his cook stove, -by his wiles as a politictan he hopes to coax her to continue that acquaintance at least 24 hours, and as an attorney he plans to invoke the law of cooks, what- ever that fs, in an action for “breach of promise’ if she quits her job. ‘In England cooks are inherited,” says Mr. O’Laughiin. “In this country we manufacture them out of raw ma- terial, most of which is imported, and just about the time they can tell a beaten biscuit from a doughnut some kindly neighbor sneaks around to the kitchen door and lures them away from us. “We have had cooks of all grades and shades, and of every possible degree of badness. There have been ill-natured ané jolly ones, sour ones and sunny ones, native and foreign, black and white, young and old, lively and severe. Picturesque and Incompetent.

“And ghosts of Delmonico and Savarin, } what engines of destruction have they smuggled into our midst under the guise of food! I recall one cook in particular, as picturesque as she was vicious and incempetent, who could make a tender- loin from a prize-winning Alderney look like the battered leathern hinge of an old-fashioned trunk with one twist of her deadly skillet. ‘TY am reminded of another whose oda biscuits would have made the whale that disgorged Jonah give up a lot of other things. “And yet, how many admirable cooks we have had! One above all others was a past mistress. The most ordinary dishes took en charm and individuality under her touch. She could fashion a roll that seemed instinct with life and beauty, so dainty and crisp and invit- ing was it. She had never heard of J.ucullus, but under her subtle witch- ery the fancies of. those who had read of his feats would be coined into realities. Through all the years that she ministered to us we grew in grace and worth under her tender-care, for the

kindly, healthy bleod that flowed in

? our veins was the product of the rare dishes she spread upon our board. “She had other qualities, too, that lifted her above her kind. She was hon- est and faithful and loyal I would risk my child’s life in her hands. Your fortune was safe in her keeping. Her leyalty has passed into a proverb. She has gone to her reward and the thought of the years she gave to us in unselfisn rervice will always keep her meméry sweet. “But the new generation of cooks Is cuite different. They are here today and ut a picnic tomorrow. Tonight they aré at the park with a wheelbarrow hat on that can hardly go through the gate. Tomorrow they will be at the picture snow wearing a hobble skirt. They ob- serve all holidays, do as little work as possible, cook as badly as they know how and demand wages so high that only people of fortune can afford to pay. “The truth is, cooking is going out of fashion. The department stores and the cactories are more alluring, where they need not wear a badge of service. “And can you blame them? Whai woinan of spirit, with youth or good icoks, would go into a hot, greasy kitchen end fry herself into a siate of frerzy 10 satisfy the averaze hnouse- wife, who too often is whimsical, bad- tempered and unappreciative? I believe im’ generous treatment of those who serve you. Kindness, consideration and gzocd wages will soften the heart and quicken the wits of even a bad, du!l servant. Make home happy for the cook and, like the errant husband in- clined to roam, she will mend her ways and stick around a little longer.” = 4

LOUISANS # SENATOR KINNEY MEETS SERVANT GIRL QUESTION NE of Tom Kinney’s constituents came to () him the other day and told him that he wanted the Senator to get a place for his cousin as a cook in a nice family. “She's got to get twenty-five dollars a month and every Sunday out, Tom,” he said. “All right,” said the Senator, whg is running for Congress and wants to please everyone he can. “I'll get her a good place—plenty of pay and little work.” The next day the Senator sent for the appli- cant and told her to apply to a family living in the West End within a stone’s throw of Forest Park. The maid’s references were fine, the wages suited her and the deal was soon closed. “She’s the traditional gem,” said madame to herself as she led her to the room alloted to the cook—“a prize, I warrant.” “And this is to be your room,” she told the girl who had been following her with a tele- scope bag. “It has been freshly papered and is nice and bright. You may burn all the light you care to within reason. Take off your things and whep you are ready I will show you into the kitchen and help you with dinner.” Madame waited below for nearly a half hour, Then the gem came tripping down with her tele- scope bag and sald: “I’m feavin’, ma’am. I can't stay in a room that does not have a view of the park.” SHOWS TRUST IT CAN USE EVEN BULL’S BELLOW [INN BROKAW, turned from Chicago the other day after an interview with one of the big heef barons, recently indicted, with a story that gives the finishing to Mr. Censumer'’s opinion in general and its object of monopoly in particular.

pointed out how there was not a single piece of waste in the slaughter of the steers. “From the hoof to the horn,” he said, “every- thing is a by-product. We have everything canned but the bellow of the animal as the knife is drawn acro: its throat.” “Yes,” replied the St. Louis lawyer, “and now that Edison has an invention by which the mov- ing pictures talk to the audience all you have to do is to fit your abattoir with phonographs and a moving picture cold-storage receiving ma- chine to drag from the dying bull its last breath and add the royalties to the dividends.” GOV. HADLEY DID NOT TAKE LONG TO LEARN ABOUT COWS O° of the first things Gov. Hadley learned

when he started out to be a model farmer, was that cows must be coddled. The Governor wanted a fine cow, and sent Pure Food and Dairy Commissioner Cutler to St. Louls to buy one. Dr. Cutler purchased a prize milk giver from a St.,Louis county dairyman. Hier daily record was six gallons. “Now don't send that cow to your farm,” Dr. Cutler warned the Governor when he took her to Jefferson City. “The barn down there is cold and she will not be well treated. Keep her at the Mansion and be a friend to Ler.” “T guess I know what to do with a cow,” sala the Governor. “To the farm for ‘bossy.'” So the cow was sent to the farm, several miles west of Jefferson City. A week or so later the Governor looked up Dr. Cutler. “T’m worried about that cow,” he admitted. “She has been giving less and less milk, and now she doesn’t give any. What do you think is the matter with her?” “Bring her back and put her In the stable at the Mansion.” counseled IT’r. Cutler. “tlave an oil stove in her stall in winter and an electrie fan in summer. ‘Treat her like a white person.” The Governor obeyed, and within a week the prize bossy was giving six gallons of milk daily.

So Declares Miss Caroline | Thummel, Suffraeist and Only St. Louts Woman Lawyer Admitted to Fed- eval Court Practice; but as for Doing It Herself-- Well No Man Wtll EVER Be So Flattered, She Vows!

BY MARGUERITE MARTYN. HE time is coming when women, not men, will make the proposals of marriage. Women ought to do the proposing. Women ARE doing the proposing. There, I’ve broken the news to you suddenly. But that’s about the way it came to me. I tremble to think how it will be received in some house- holds. Miss Caroline Thummel is the purveyor of the above intelligence that another prerogative (or is tt an obligation?) of man’s has been trans- posed to woman’s sphere. Believe me, I tried to defend and save this one last cherished remnant of the hallowed days of chivalry. But—no use. Miss Thummel has a choice array of logic with which to back up her assertions. She represents a combination of authority that cannot be disre- garded, and certainly not disputed, by the merely sentimental. There is but one weak point in her argument, but one loophole, as you shall see, out of which our fond illusion that the good and fair are sought ard sued for by the brave and true, is permitted to escape her fusilade of facts. ISS THUMMEL speaks asathorough woman VI and an avowed chamion of her sex, Her words have an awesome legal value and sig- nificance when it is observed that she has been admitted to practice law in the Federal courts of St. Louis, and is the only woman enjoying that distinction. “Woman's economical independence is enabling her to have a great deal more to say in the choice of a. husband than she had a generation ago,” began Miss Thummel, “as witness, women are marrying much later in life than formerly. But society should permit women to make the proposal outright. And society will as conditions improve. All enlightened people agree with me, I think.” “Man proposes, but woman disposes,” was my first protest. Don’t you think the right to dispose is about as efficacious as the right to propose?” “Woman disposes, yes. According to the pres- ent custom, she disposes of her husband in the divorce court. According to the ancient custom she has no opportunity of disposing except of such poor offers as chance to come her way. “It is for just that—the safeguarding of the marriage institution from the ravages of divorce— that I would have women make the proposal. Women Would Select Husbands as Carefully as They Do Hats Me). course if men gave the same careful attention to the selection of wives that they do to the buying of a Jersey cow, it would be different. When a man goes to buy a cow he examines tnto the pedigree, her state of health, her disposition, her age, her géneral appearance with regard to her usefulness. Not all, or half of these points, are taken into consider- ation by a man choosing a wife. “On the other hand, a woman, iff she has arrived at the age of maturity—and no woman should think of marriage before she is 25 (a man should wait five years later for his age of discretion): a woman of 25, we will say, Is as good a bargain driver as a man. This commercial faculty whieh has been developed through countless generations of economic: independence among men, and through only ome generation of commercial experience among women, nevertheless crops out and shows ftself acutely defined in women whenever it has the least opportunity. When a woman buys a hat-——and that Is about the surest test of her self-control—she will bargain and weigh and consider it from every angle of use- fulness and becomingeness, however much she may he overcome by the beauty of it. a! a rule a woman is far more practical and foresighted about matters pertaining to, her home than a man, But eveh if she were not, for the sake ef posterity she should be

allowed to exercise what judgment she may pos- sess in the selection of a husband. It were far safer to leave the choice of a husband to the woman than the selection of a wife to the man. “It doesn't make the least difference what sort of a father a child has. It makes all the difference in the world what sort of a mother a child has. Did you ever know a brilliant man or woman who inherited talents from the father? No. “Not long ago in one of the daily papers I read an article in which the writer asserted that no distinguished man ever bequeathed his distin- guished qualities to his children or ever was him- self the son of a distinguished man, cit- ing numerous’ instances. I was enraged that the writer had neglected to consider the mothers in the case worthy of comment or notice. But it proved my theory that brilliant men seldom use judgment in selecting their wives and that it is to their own mothers they owe their distinguished qualities. “The father’s characteristics descend to the child only as they are nurtured in the brain of the mother. No, this is not a random theory of my own. I have observed it all through my reading of history—it is a simple law of nature. Did you ever see good’tars of corn grow on a poor stalk?” > ‘ That Man Supports His Wife Is Just ‘‘Monumental Impudence’’ tage in the transaction ‘for better or for I in- ‘you brought this You asked me to marry you. I never would have thought of such a thing my- 4 [) ex you think women enjoy an advan- worse, when’ a quarrel occurs,” quired, “and they can exclaim, all on yourself. self. My biscuits are not any worse than they were then. You’ll just have to put up with them.’ Isn’t that old reliable weapon of defense of her own sherteeanes worth the price of the pro- posal?” “There wouldn't be that sort of quarrel,” Miss Thummel replied. “There would be far fewer quarrels. In fact, for of course women ‘would have to assume more responsibilities if she did the proposing. “Another tendency to equalize the responsibility and make for more rational marriages will re- sult when women propose and make the same promises and agreements men do under like con- ditions, in the elimination of that monumental piece of impudence, the claim of man that he ‘sup- ports’ his wife. No man honestly supports his wife. If she acts as his housewife, nursegirl, laundress, and performs the thousand other duties of domestic service and she receives whatever he chooses to hand out to her, her position is that of a siave in bondage. If he keeps her in idle- ness, that’s immoral,’ as it encourages the devil who is preparing misch‘ef for idle hand#. OA pron if woman did the proposing, that promise, ‘with all my worldly goods [ thee endow,’ which is useless since the law does not sustain it, would not need to be made, only to be broken. The law, you know endows a wife with a life Interest In one-third of her jown prop- erty. . “The right to propose is an inherent right of women just as the right to vote and every other right bestowed upon man.” “Don't you think the difference in physique will always make a difference in the attainments of men and women? How shall a woman be able to go about her wooing when women propose?” I asked. “The difference tn physique its a threadbare argument. Men have bigger hands and feet. That is no proof they are farther advanced tn evolu- tion. Women have more endurance and more re- sources than men. A woman can go anywhere she wants alone. I have tried it and no stranger ever dared to speak to me more than once.. { OMEN have only to assert their righta. For the sake of peace I would be wilting

frage, but only because petitioning is the polite thing to do. “Women’s inclinations being instinctively re- ligious have remained in subjection to the laws laid down in the Bible. Men wrote the Bible and of course took advantage of woman's trustful- ness when they made discriminations tn their own favor. Women should remember this and frees themselves from such bondage. “Men, through their economic control,, have con- tinued to lay down the law to women. Our social laws have invariably been dependent upon the economic situation. When women are independent of the economic protection of men society will be on a fair basis and not until then. Women have had to submit to a social standard they know to be false. They cheerfully lle—excuse me—co- quette—to gain what advantage they can. Not until our economic independence Is established and recognized can we begin to assert our inherent rights and tell the truth. “As a matter of fact, women practically do and always have made the proposals. The idea of marriage always occurs to the woman first.” “Oh, Miss Thummel, spare us that,” I exclaimeé “Yes, you know they do, and they bring about the declaration in a roundabout way. ‘Oh, this tf. so sudden,’ and the different variations of that pose alone have hoodwinked men ito thinking thef did the proposing. <4 F course, the ideal way ts such perfect ) understanding that a proposal isn’t neces- sary.

So+ clety must ahd will eventually let women be frank and honest about this thing.” Now we come to the one weak spot In Mie Thummel’s argument. “Reasons and theorfes are all very good” E reminded her last. “But circumstanital evi+ — dence doesn’t g0, you know.

ST. LOUIS POST. DISPATCH.

SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1910. ’

ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH.

{ E SUES SPOUSE NO QUOTES BIBLE ON CHASTISEMENT Petition States He Read Ephesians 5, 22 Before Correcting Her.

DEFENSE SUGGESTED Helpmeet Might Have Avert- ed Punishment by Repeat- ing Texts in Defense.

KANSAS CITY,.Kan., Sept. 24—d{rs. Nettie M. Hines wants a divorce from S. F. Hines, a farmer living near here, on the allegation that he disciplined and chastised her and the rest of the fam- tly and quoted scripture to prove that he had a right to do that very thing. Like a preacher about to deliver a ser- mon, he always gave out his text be- fore administering punishment. For instance, on Aug. 14. she says, he came into the house and took down the family Bible and read: *, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands. As the chureh is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their Own husbands in everything.”’ He then proceeded to make the application of the text by chastising his wife and the rest of the family. She does not say what his text was when he chastised his daughter, but it * may well have been Proverbs 23, 13: “Withhold not correction from the child.” Scriptural Duel Suggested, A wag in the Circuit Clerk’s office ’ suggested that Mrs. Hines, instead of > suing for divorce, which some hold to be unscriptural, even if she does allege scriptural grounds in her petition, might have met scripture with scripture and . thus confounded her scriptural husband. When Mr. Hines came in and at- tacked her with scripture sne might have come right back at him with more . of the same, something like this: Mr. Hines: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands.—Ephesians 5, 22. Mrs. “Hines: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the GIRL FAINTS IN HIS ARMS, WIFE WANTS DIVORCE Husband Is Advertising for ian Who Saw Incident to Help Him Explain.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 24. —A young woman fainted and fell in a man’s arms: at Manitou last August. Now his wife is preparing to sue for di- vorce, and he is advertising for a man who saw the incident to help him ex- plain. This is his “ad,” now being printed in Hutchinson, Kan.,: PERSONAL—Will the man from Hutchin- son who saw man assisting a lady who had fainted near the Iron Springs at Mani- tou, Colo., cn Ame. 5. please communicate with me? John Wilkerson, care Pennsy]- vania Hotel. Wichita. Kan. Mr. Wilkerson and his wife spent the summer in Colorado Springs. They came here in their touring car and spent much of their time in Manitou, where one afternoon Mr. Wilkerson met a young woman who said she was from Newton, Kan., and who knew Wichita folk known by Mr. and Mrs. Wilkerson. The rest of the story is told by Mr. Wilkerson himself: “On' the evening of Aug. 5 we went over to Manitou to attend a band con- cert. My wife was strolling with some Witchita friends‘and the Newton girl and I and a man who said he was from Hutchinson were seated near the iron springs, when suddenly the girl from Newton fainted. “What Any Man Ought to Do.” “Well, I did just wnat any man ought to da, I caught her in my arms and was lifting her, when of course the ‘missus’ had to arrive. There was a scene, of course, and during the ex- citement the Newton girl recovered and fled in dismay. My wife refused to ac. cept any explanation. Now she has left me and is preparing to sue for a di- vorce,

“It is awful, and to make it worse, the only person who really knows that I am telling the truth and that the Newton girl actually. fainted jis this Hutchinson man who was with us. He can clear the whole matter up, but I don't know his name, and. that’s why I am advertising for him. I met him but once, but I am syre he will remem- ber the incident andthe scene at the iron springs that night. “If he will only let fhe know his name so I can communicate with him it will possibly patch up the. differences which are now threatening to break up my home.”’

ARE COURTING THIN SISTERS, 22 Twin Conquest Result of Twin :Contest for Popu- larity Prize for Twins.

PLATTSBURG, Mo., Sept. 24.—David and Dallas Pogue of Plattsburg, 62-year- old twins, are laying siege for the hearts and hands of Lula and Lela Brown of Mecca, 22-year-old twins, and all Clinton County is interested in the double-bar- reled romance David and Dallas are bachelors be- cause they agreed, a long time ago, that they would never marry unless they could find twins to marry. They have lived all these years without com- ing across feminine twins of marriage- able age, and now that they Have found a pair of 22-year-old twins they are in the midst of a whirlwind courtship and have announced that'they are going to fight it out on the twin line if it takes all summer and hkalf of the winter. Contest of Popularity. Last winter a Plattsburg newspaper started a popularity contest and the Brown twins were entered. That was how the Pogue twins heard of the Brown twins. The Pogue twins got busy. They made up their minds that the Brown twins should be elected the most popular girls in Clinton County. They boosted hard j for the Browns. Two diamond rings were offered as prizes in a preliminary skirmish. The Pogues saw to it that the Browns won the diamond rings. Then they went in strong on the big contest for the piano. After they had obtained all the sub- scribers that they could they bought subscriptions outright and gave the pa- per away, and cast the votes for the twins. Pogue Twins Win Victory. When the contest ended there was no “most popular young woman in Clinton County.”’ There were two and they were the Brown twins. And the Pogue twins had won. There was a banquet to celebrate the victory. The Brewn tWins were the guests of honer and the Pogue twins were the hosts. Then the four twins had theit pictures taken together and if any- body had doubted before that a twin conquest was going to grow out of the twin contest, that settled it. Now everybody is waiting for the an- nouncement of the engagement of the twins to the twins. Nobody knows which Pogue twin is most likely to get which Brown twin, but that is not im- portant. The Pogue twins look so much alike and the Brown twins look so much alike that either way will do. ' ‘GRIZZLY REAR” DANCE IS RULED OUT IN KANSAS CITY Inspector Won’t Let Couples “Dance Too Close” or Use “Hip Movement.” KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 24.—The “Grizzly Bear,’’ Newport's latest craze, and similar dances, have been “read out” by the dance inspector of Kansas City. Couples in public dance halls must keep some “‘daylight’” between them. They must not ‘‘dance too close,”’ nor must they use any “hip movement.” Holly Jarboe, parole oficer of the Board of Public Welfare, acting as dance inspector, says if dancers persist in dancing “‘too close’ they will be asked to leave the floor. He isn’t a dance expert, but his wife and daughter usually accompany him, and under their tuition he is becoming a skilled dancing inspector. “The hardest feature of dancing in- Spections is to tell the ages of the dancers,”’ he says. ‘‘Women ere wear- ing their dresses half Way to their knees this year. Just about the time I have decided to call the attention of the proprietor to the fact that a ‘kid’ is dancing the supposed kid will approach and I will see she is nearly as old as I am. “I have visited dance halls and in- vestigations have resulted in the dis- covery that sometimes girls are at the dances without their parents’ knowl- edge. It is likely that the management of the dances will put on an age lHmit of their own. The ordinance provides a limit ef 16 years. One dance ha!) puts the limit at 18 years.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 24.—Rob- ert McCrystal, aged 52, proprietor of the Misgouri Hotel at Dalias, Tex., is look- Ing up his father’s children and visit- ing with them. In most cases none of tne children have heard of each other since the Civil War until a few months ago.

sister of Robert and half-sister of Sam- uel. Dennis McCrystal, the father, entered jthe army from Seymour, and after the C:vii War took Robert, then a small boy, and went South. Robert says that some years later he left his father in Texas and went on to the Pacific Coast, and that when he returned ge could find no trace of him. Neither Robert nor Samuel, who also had gone West, wrote back to Indiana, and after many years the members of the family in this State gave them up for dead. Dennis McCrystal, a_ still younger brother, has. been found at Anderson, Ind., and about a year ago Jesse Gas- saway, older than Samuel, was found at Benton Harbor, Mich. He had not been heard from since the Civil War. The brothers from the West will visit both after a visit with a sister, Mrs. Walters of Elliston, Ind.

FRENCH SENATOR SECURES LICENSE AS BIRDMAN Member Who Interpellated War Department on Air Craft Is Practical. PARIS, Sept. 24.—Dr. Emile Raymond, member of the Senate from Loire, and youngest member of the upper house, has won a license from the Aero Club of France as pilot of an aeroplane. He is the first legislator i~ the list. Senator Raymond, at the end of last year, directed an insistent interpella- tion against the Minfster of War for his apparent neglect of dirigibles as a part of the army equipment. Gen. Brun, while not di hinted

_ in his reply that greater things were to be expected from aeroplanes. Evidently Senator Raymond thought it best to investigate this suggestion.

NEWSPAPER WOMAN WINS A HUSBAND GETTING A STORY Leaves Mother Waiting at St. Louis Station While She Rides on to Be Married. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 24.—Miss Maud Fry, a newspaper woman of Galena, Kan., and Ira Barton, a struc- tural engineer of Chicago, were mar- ried here this morning by the Rev. J. L. Fisher of the English Evangeli- cal Lutheran Church. Their acquaint- ance began romantically in St. Louis last May. Miss Fry was sent to St. Louis on an assignment by the Galena Times on which she was employ ed, ene mee

Barton, who was working in St. Louls. It was a case of love at first sight, and although compelled to -separate they kept up a correspondence. Miss Fry made arrangements to reet her mother in St. Louis yester- day, but when the train bearing her from Galena arrived the young woman continued on east. Arriving here this morning she was met by Barton. The marriage followed. Barton came to Pittsburg last night from Frederickstown, Md., where he is employed on some _ construction work for the Greene Engineering Co of Chicago. This morning Miss Fry said her mother was still waiting at the sta- tion in St. Louis as far as she knew, but she said she would send a tele- gram explaining why she did not meet her mother.

When Deputy Coronew Fath received the information of Goert’s death, he re- called a conversation he fad with Goerts a week ago. At that time, Goerts said to Fath: “I have had a lot of‘trouble, and iff I had a revolver now” would‘kill my-'} self. You'll hear of my sificide soon. Treat me well at the Coroner’s office. Don't let my_body go to the morgue, and see that our old friend Wagoner has charge of the funeral.”’ Fath attempted to cheer him up and thought he had induced him to abandon his idea of ending his life.

St. Louis will get its first view of the monoplane in action when LeBlanc, the famous French aviator, flies in his Bleriot machine at the Kinloch Park Aviation Field in the fall meet of the St. Louis Aero Club, Oct. 8 to 18. Since her residents saw Capt. Thomas Baldwin make the historic river-front flight, arranged by the Post-Dispatch, two weeks ago, St. Louisans have been as enthusiastic about aviation as they were formerly skeptical about it. Baldwin’s machine, in which he made a sepeed of 53 miles an hour in the 17- mile round-trip river flight, was a bi- plane of very substantial type. In com- parison with ft, the Bleriot monoplene will seem fragile, and its operator may appear even more entitled to the name of bird-man than the one whe rides the air in a biplane.

OPPOSITION IN KANSAS TO A STATUE OF JOHN BROWN Fight in Legislature Expected Against ‘Placing Memorial in Hall of Fame. TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 24.—That fight will develop before the next leg- islature for an appropriation to place a statue of John Brown in the Hall of Fame at Washington, is now certain. Every G. A. R. post in Kansas will take a vote on the proposition between now and the first of the year. The results will be polled and tabulated and presented to the lawmakers. ' Opposition “is rapidly developing. Capt. C. C. Collins,, a messenger in the senate house and a Civil war vet- eran, is one of the leaders of the move- ment to have the Brown statue erected. ‘“T met Cy Leland in the State house,”’ said Collins, ‘‘and he called to me, ‘Hello Brown.’ ”’ “Well, you are for us?’’ he retorted. “No, sir,’’ said Leland, according to Collins, “I'm not in favor of putting into the Hall of Fame statues of men who were hung.” Eee Don’t Wear A Truss After Thirty Years’ Experience I Have Produced An Appli- ance for Men, Women or Children that Cures Rupture. _I Send It On Trial.

NEWPORT, Ark., Sept. 24.—The wealth and influence of Mrs. Faire Belle Shirey-Byrkett will be arrayed cn the side of J. C. Langston, Jesse Hill, “Raggedy Bill” Smith and W. T. Blackford when’ they go to trial here the flirst Monday in October, charged with the murder of A. W. Shitrey of Minturn, the aged husband of the young woman. This is inferred from the fact that for several weeks she has been traveling about over Jackson, Lawrence and Independence counties, in company with her mother, and the fact that Longston’s attorney, X. O. Pindall, has been examining witness- es in her presence. The State’s theory is that it was for love of her and in the expectation of marrying her that Langston killed Shirey. He was disappointed in his expectation of making her his bride. Three months after the murder of her husband she met Ora Byrkett, a well- to-do merchant of Ogden, Ind. and fell in love with him at first sight and married him. After the indict- ment of Jesse Hill, who is her brother, she seemed to turn against Langston, but her present activity in- dicates that her attitude toward him has changed, and that, although she is the wife of another, she intends to do what she can to save the man who is alleged to have stained his hands with blood for love of her. Named as Co-Respordent. Mrs. Shirey-Byrkett has abundant means to assist Langston and the others, through the deed of the as- sasin who cut short the life of Shir- ley. He had filed suit for divorce, naming Langston as corespondent. If he had obtained a divorce on the grounds stated in the petition she would have: had no share in his es- tate. His death prevented him from ° getting a divorce. He had made a will, cutting her off with “one cent and no more,” but,the courts have awarded her 40 per gent of the es- tate. Shirey owned thousands of acres in Lawrence County and had a general s.ore in Minturn. He was 82 years old. He was married 10 years ago to Faire Bell Hill, when she was lf. The girl's parents had brought a suit against him. Three years ago the girl-wife left her azed husband and sued for’ divorce. He filed a cross bill. She obtained a di- orce, but the Supreme Court set it aside. March 8 he filed another suit. That night he was sjtting in his store when a shot was fired through the open door from the darkness outside and he fell dead. Langston says he was on his farm in South Dakota when Shirey was killed. The murderer is believed to have ar- rived at Hoxie the day before. He hired a gray horse and rode away in the direction of Minturn. Several per- sons who met him have identified Langston as the man on the gray horse. Fierbert 5S. Mosher, assistant superin- tendent. of the St, Louis branch of tbe Pinkerton Detective Agency, worked up the evidence and brought about the in- dictment of Langston as principal and the other three as accessories. ‘‘Rag- gedy Bill’? Smith and Blackford are at- torneys, who represented Mrs. Shirey in her divorce litigation with old man Snirey. Statements drawn from Mrs. Ehirey-Byrkett by the grand jury, after the indictment of Langston and Hill, are said to have resulted in the indict- ment of the two lawyers. Langston and Hill pleaded not guilty en their preliminary examination, but were held on charges of first degree murder. “Raggedy Bill’ Smith derives his sou- briquet from his habit of wearing ill- fitting and patched clothes for the pur- pese of endearing himself to the ‘‘com- mon people’ and winning political pref- erment. He was a protege of Shirey. REMLEY’S STORES HAVE PURE FOOD SHOW OF THEIR OWN Delicacies Are Cooked in the Stores and Fed to Customers:

That Hronicek intended killing his wife, himself and possibly their two suns, Was indicated by his actions and by a note found in his pocket. The elder soit, Gottfried, 14 years old, was at his mother’s side when she opened the door, and the bullet which wounded her en- dangered his life.

Mrs. Hronicek, who was not seri- ously injured, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter last night: “My husband left home seven weeks ago. I had grown weary of his dissi- pated habits, and though. he came back several times, I told® him he could not return to live heré until he thoroughly reformed. He had been boarding at a house near Fourteenth and Emmet streets. “T had no warning that he was coming last night. From- the fact that he ‘tovwk off his shoes before he entered tne yard, I suppose he meant to creep: up to the window and shoot me, and then either run away or kill himself. HM that was his plan, a dog's barking spoiled it.’’ Hironitek was 57 tuck pointer. An undated will, written on a postal ecard, was found in his room. In it Hronicek bequeathed $150 to the young- er son, $500 to the elder, $100 to his pa- rents in Bohemia, $30 to William Schin- delka, $100 for his burial lot and $120 for funeral expenses.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., 24.—Miss Eleanor Sears added to her laurels in Sept. sport today by going up in an aeroplane and making a record flight for women in this country. Emulating the exam- ple of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Jr., Mrs. Clifford B. Harmon, daughter of E. C. Benedict, and other New York society women who have made short flights, senger with Claude Grahame-White, the she offered herself aS a pas- English aviator, in his Farman biplane at the Harvard Field at Squantum this afternoon. There is no doubt sne was intent on and she remained aloft 1lm. and 30s. No other passenger was up half so long, although the aviator took up 14 in “he afternoon. Lieutenant- Governor louis A. Frothingham and Miss Dorothy Jordan “wcre among the passengers, but, like all the others ex- cept Miss Sears, they were content with one round of the course. Miss Sears had a dozen, and in addition she made the aviator cut figure eights, swooping glides and other spectacular capers that took the breath of the 15,000 spectators while they lasted and drew a tumult of applause when they were finished. They Drop 150 Feet. ‘ The grand surprise came when, from a height of 150 feet, the aviator let the biplane glide on a sharp angle toward the ground, shutting off the power at the same time. When the machine struck the ground with a decided bump it bounced 45 feet into the air. Gra- h}anie-White slammed on the power and the big propellers sent the machine into tull flight again. This was the first time this sort of an aviation had been seen here. After a few more hair-raising turns, the biplane came to earth. Miss Sears said: “It was perfectly heavenly; just the finest thing I ever enjoyed. It is the best sport and I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. I suppose it seemed to those on the ground as if we were rmsking our neckss sailing around and making those short turns, but real- ™ honest and truly, I wasn't scared a bit. Mr. Grahame-White fust makes you sage that it is all coming out right. I knew from the time we left the ground until we landed that I wasn’t in the ieust danger when he was driving. “You Grin All the Time.” “Oh! it is not the least bit like auto- mobiling. You just grin all the time and fly along without a thought about turns in the road or bumps or accident. When we struck the ground and went right on uv again I- wasn't frightened at all, only I just said to myself, I hope we aren’t going to stop now. And we didn’t. We kept sailing on up. I could see all the people plainly, and I felt so exhilarated that I felt like yelling. But the motor was so loud I knew I couldn’ t have been heard.’”’ Miss Sears has won swimming cham- pionship of Newport in race of four miles, organized a polo team of women and beat a men’s team, carried off team’s honors at Newport and other society resorts several times, sailed Paul Rainey’s vacht Mirage and won a race against Alfred G.

Prelate, in First American Inter- view of Length, Praises Thrift. Eager Mothers Hold Up Their Babies for Great Church- man to Bless. By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. IS EMINENCE, CARDINAL VAN- H NUTELLI, was good enough to take time from a crowded day to talk to me last night for the Post-Dis- patch, his interview being directed to the American people, and especially to those of St. Louis, whom, during the day just closed, first time. It was the most extended, and practi- cally the only interview of importance, which he has given to the American press since the hour of his landing in the Western Hemisphere on his way to the recent Eucharistic Congress in Montreal. His Grace, Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis, had kindly presented me to His Iiminence at the archiepiscopal resi- dence, following the dinner at which the head of the ancient Spanish-French- American archdiocese of St. Louis was the host, and the Envoy Extraordinary of the Holy Father the guest of honor. The tall old Cardinal, erect almost as from the training of a _ soldier, clad in his robe of red and black, and with the lHttle red cap of a Cardinal Prince of Rome showing like a spot of fire among his gray Loirs, interrupted the conversation but once. This was to suggest that we con- tinue the interview more comfort- ably by being seated, the Cardinal himself choosing a restful chair as he spoke and insisting that I occupy one of similar restfulness by his side. A painstaking member of the Cardinal’s party acted as interpreter during the conversation, the Cardinal! himself speaking no English and I no Italian. So intent was His Eminence upon what he had to say, however, and so immediate and fluent was its trans- lation from Italian into English by the younger cleric, that there was practically no interruption to the quick flow of the Cardinal’s speech. Geniality Shines From tle Prelate’s Thoughtful Face The great prelate sat, most of the time, with his hands crossed in his lap, his eager and thoughtful face turned toward me, his gray-brown or hazel eyes lighting up “with the ut- most geniality as he ppoke. His countenance is singularly alive and vital with interest. Partly seen be- low the hem of his robe of red and black were the silver-buckled low shoes of almost antique churchly pattern in which his long and slender feet were encased. He made but few gestures, the changing expression of an ardent face—indeed, a face of amazingly youthful ardor in one on iwhose shoulders, rest 72 years— serving to emphasize his words in- stead. And, though occasionally pausing to return the greeting of some guest of the Archbishop, His Eminence would return to his conversation with me so quickly that it was in effect unbroken. “In the first place,” he said, ‘oy. am he had seen for the LASS a8, on + eee glad to be able to extend my greetings | to the people of St. Louis, one of: the oldest Catholic cities in this country, and a city which now, I am told, has something like 400,000 Catholics, or one- half the total number, among its pop- ulation. “I have greatly enjoyed this, my day in St. Louis, and look forward much pleasure to the further stay I am able to make in this city. Its handsome streets, its beautiful resi- dences and all the evidences of material prosperity that I have seen, are good things to contemplate. “But what most deeply touches me is the ample and convincing evidence I have today encountered of the vi- tality of the Catholic. faith in St. Louls. Those who have turned out to welcome me, the clergy and the gen- tlemen of the laity who have par- ticipated in my reception, are among the human element of proof in thts direction. Buildings for Church Prove That Money Is Not Sole Aim “But ~ similarly convincing is~the evidence I have seen ofthe ~° great prosperity of the churches’ anq the educational and other institutions of our faith that I find in this city. Re- peatedly it has hagpened to me today that when I would comment in: ad- miration of some especially handsome and imposing building, I would be told that it was a Catholics school or some other structure of the church's building. These things, so plainly and instantly seen by one who comes, as I do, a stranger, tell me that our faith is held secure and flourishing in the city which I have now the pleasure to visit. “And this pleases me because it makes me know that the vital Catholic spirit thus in evidence will serve to hold St. Louis safe in what ifs better than mere material prosperity; and that it will relp to solve all problems that confront the city’s people in the battle of life. It is this Catholic spirit which will most potently operate to safeguard this coun- try of yours against the evils that may imperil it, bringing to their solution and removal the higher wisdom tmperative for any country’s welfare... The many great Catholic institutions which I have setn in St. Louts today bring this teach- ing to me, and I was deeply impressed by their architectural beauty. ‘FT had been told before comiing to this first with that Continued on Page.2, Columa ¢. ~ | JAMES A, REED AND SHE WALTER MEI: Fan FOLLOWS Senatorial Candidates Shoves a County Chairman— Honors Even. Joseph D. Shewalter of Independence, Mo., who alleged that crats are in a conspiracy becoming United States lieved jie found another instance of “villainous machinations’’ when he ar- rived at St. Charles last night. The frock-coated candidate, who dis- dains a tie as savoring of the interests, thought that he alone was to address the unterrificd Democracy of St. Charles County. What was his wrath at finding on the ground before him none other than James A. Reed of Kansas City, who is named in Shewal- ter’s suit for damages as one of the prime ‘“‘conspirators!’’ As to what occurred when Shewalter encountered County Chairman .— Brice Edwards on Main street and demanded an explanation, spectators are uncer- tain. Out of the haze, however, comes the assertion that the senatorial as- pirant “‘shoved”’ Brice in the face with, his fist, and that the County Chairman’ returned the amenity by ‘“‘shoving’’ She- walter on the back of the neck. Friends broke the clinch that followed. Reed spoke at the courthouse and Shewalter addressed an open-air meet- ing at Main and Monroe streets, three blocks away. Reed is.a.candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States senator. At a hearing of. Shewalter’s suit in St. Louts. last week, James F. Smith, Nelson W. McLeod and Charies W.

JUSTICE MARRIES ELOPERS AS Thy STAND IN AN AUTO Bride Just Couldn’t Disap- point Man Who Traveled Far to Wed Her. While the orchestra in Autenrieth’s Hotel played the Lohengrin wedding march last night, an eloping couple was married in an atitomobile at Clayton. They gave their names as Voltaire H. Williford of Harrisburg, Ill., and May Lucille Kelly of St. Louis. While the automobile stood at the curb in front of the hotel, Justice Sto- bie of Wellston, who had responded to an urgent telephone call, stood on the running board and performed the cere- mony. The big touring car, driven by a chauf- feur, sped into.Clayton at 8:30 p. m. The young man and young woman ap- parently were disappointed when they learned that the courthouse was closed. Hurrying to the home of Deputy Re- corder Schadler they argued with him 10-minutes for a license. He yielded wien the ‘bride-to-be sald: “It would be a shame to disappoint us after Mr. Williford came all the way from Harrisburg just to elope with me.”’ They sped back to the hotel and en- listed the aid of Edward Berger, who telephoned to Justice Stobie. Half an hour later the young couple were standing in the tonneau of the machine and saying: “I will” and “I do.”’ Clayton fashion experts who wit- nessed the ceremony satfd that the bride was the most correctly gowned young woman who ever was married there. “It may seem strange to be married in an automobile,’’ she said to Justice Stobie, “but my mother was married on a train and my father was married on horseback, so you see, queer weddings run, in our family.’’ _As the chauffeur turned the big touring car toward St. Louis, the bride- groom leaned from: the tonneau’ and said: “If anybody asks for us tell them we have gone to the theater.”’ The man gave his age as 28 and the young woman said she was 23. Edward Berger and Lucian Brown were the le- gal witnesses to the marriage. WOMAN'S ELECTRIC COUPE STRIKES MAN AND A DO6 Poodle Is Hurled Across Street, but Is Unhurt—Master Is Bruised.

In population and material progress St. Louis would be set batk not less twenty-five years; the city out of the running with its present rivals for supremacy in pop- ulation, industry, commerce. We will not dwell further on the dire results of the attempted en- forcement of prohibition in this city —it is unnecessary. The bare state- ment of facts is sufficient to arouse nll intelligent, thinking citizens, with substantial interest In the welfare and progress of the city, to a realiza- tion of the danger that threatens them. The menace of prohibition has checked the progress of the city; it has driven away investors; it has frightened business men. Consider what the actual catastrophe would mean! We indulge the belief that a presen- tation of the facts will induce the intelligent, conservative, progressive citizenship of the entire city and State to co-operate with us to avert these disasters to St. Loulfs and the other large Missour! cities. Our loss will be shared by the whole State— by manufacturers, merchants, bank- professional men, property own- home owners, employes in all lines of business activity. Moral Evils. These certain disasters, with their train of suffering, might be borne as a measure of war, if the policy which would cause them were effective to elim- inate, or diminish intemperance and vice, but it would be futile; the sacrifice would be vain. The attempt to apply prohibition laws to St. Louis would create intolerable moral and social con- ditions. Years of persistent work have given the people of St. Louls a system of saloon regulation, which has enabled them to eliminate the great mass of evils formerly connected with the liquor traf- fic. We have an Excise Commissioner, armed with full power by the law to close disorderly saloons and to eliminate vice-premoting accessories in all places where intoxicating beverages are sold. He can summarily deprive saloon keep- ers, who keep disorderly resorts, of their licences on complaint of citizens; he can protect the youth of both sexes from the dangers of disorderly and immoral] resorts where liquer is sold. The Com- missioner can compel regavd for law, orderliness, decency and respect for pub- lie morality on the part of the saloon keepers. Under the improved administration of the excise laws, winerooms, gambling dens, disorderly and vicious resorts have been closed; the city has made steady progress on the line of law and order. morality, temperance; we have demon- strated that the working out of the problem ef controlling the liquor traf- fic, in the interest of temperance and merality, can be accomplished under regulation. Unregulated Dens. ' The adoptien of prohibition weuld overthrow this system of regulation: it would deprive St. Louisans of all power under excise laws to control the saloons com- than would be prohibition would bring upon them. left without the means of controlling thé saloons, except by the ordinary proc- esses of law. tion law would have to be arrested and prosecuted before juries in the minor courts; court dockets would be over- crowded with cases; juries, with ma- jorities opposed to prohibition, would refuse to convict; it would .be impossi- ble to impose penalties for selling liquor; since it would be _ necessary .to violate the law in order to open sa- loons, lawless men would go into the business. As licenses would be abol- ished and no consent would be _ re- quired, men of the worst character would open places. Violating the law in one respect, they would not hesitate to vielate it in all; they would be un- controlled, unhampered in their law- less and vicious purposes. The result of prohibition would be the substitution of unlicensed, unregulated dens, run by lawless, irresponsible men, for the li- censed, regulated, orderly saloong run by responsible men. , Corruption and Graft, The opening of lawless saloons and gambling dens, with their tmmoral ac- cessories, creates the opportunity for and promotes corruption amohg offi- Cials charged with the enforcement of the laws. Graft is the invariable ac- companimént ef lawless saloons and vice-promcting resorts.

It deprives the city of the rev- enue of the licensed saloon, while in- flicting upon it the worst evils of the unregulated saloon. It prometes ficial corruption. To recapitulate: We Oppose State- wide prohibition and ask the co- -epera- tion of citizens of the city and State to defeat it because: (Note: Here are stated the 19 reasons given at the beginning of this article.) We appeal to every citizen of St. Louis to join with us in protecting the city, the homes, the young men and the young women from the menace of the blind tiger, speak-easy and the under- ground den. We appeal to the citizens of Mis- sourl to join with us in protecting the cities of the State from the materia} disasters and the moral evils which of- We appeal to them not to cast their votes to check the metropolis of our great State and to increase our hard- Ships, burdens and problems, but to help us build:a greater and more pros- peous St. Louis.

Instead of closing the saloons, prohi- and to destroy their vicious accesseries; every vestige of the regulating nyetern would be wiped out; St. Louis would be i bition would close factories, close stores, close shops, close business offices, close hotels, close restaurants, close homes. By tomorrow the campaign of defense will be well under way and there will be no flagging until the day of elec- tion, Nov. 8 Meantime the State will be canvassed to its remotest sections, so that every voter who casts a ballot will understand just what prohibition would mean to the people of the rural as well as the urban centers.

Prohibition fs a threat against the com- mercial, social and moral welfare of every community in the State. “While the danger to property and business prosperity is indeed grave, much worse would be the degradation of the manhood of our citizens through the adoption of prohibition.’’ a WHITE MAN KILLED BY SQUAW Indian Slays Sweetheart While He Is Visiting Friends.

CLAIMS PRIOR’ RIGHT Had Rewon Wife After Mr. and Mrs. Arendes Aided 3 Days’ Strategy. John A. Howland, life-saver, after winning for a second time his heiress- bride of a month, formerly Miss Helen O’Brien, was confronted by a startling obstacle in the shape of a young woman living ip Philadelphia, jist as he was about to obtain the blessing of the Cath- Olic Church last night upon his elope- ment. After three days of plots and strate- gems, in which he was assisted by friends eager to make the course of true love run smooth, Howland be- lieved he saw happiness and recon- ciliation with his wife’s family within @' Sm | o. Owen ae Se a . oe . SEALY, NT his reach. He had met Mrs. Howland twice, once on an automobile trip and yesterday afternoon at the home of Mi- chael C. H. Arendes, 2233 Oregon nue. | Mrs. Howland engaged to last night and accompany Mark's Carhoiic Church, Academy avenues, to ask lather Peter J. on their marriage, which was performed by a Protestant clergyman. Instead, he was met at the rendezvous by Miss :Gettrude -O’Brien, his wife's sister and ally.and the good angel of her troubled romance. Miss O’Brien was weeping and said that her sister Was prostrated at her home because of information which had reached her. Howland ‘was informed by Miss O’Brien that Father O’Rourke had re- ceived a vehement and passionate !et- ter from a gitl.in: Philadelphia, who as- serted that she had a prior claim upon the handsome yot™mg swimmer. Says She Still Loves Him. Together Miss O’Brien and Howland went to the Arendes home. Howland described the charges made against him as “black falsehoods” and begged her to assure Mrs. Howland of his inno- cence. “My sister could not meet you,” said Miss O’Brien, ‘ “because the letter showed to her by the priest had pros- trated her. She said for me to tell you that she still loves you, but ‘that you must clear yourself of these accusa- tions.”’ Howland was half-distracted by the sudden setback and said he would start today for Philadelphia unless he could see Father O’Rourke and convince him of the untruth of the charges. He ad- mitted knowing the writer of letter, but said she had no rightful claim upon him. This interruption was only another chapter in a romance that has been re- piete with thrills and obstacles. How- land had kept his movements in St. Louis secret, save from a few friends, since his arrival in St. Louis from his home in Spring Lake, N. J. He be- lieved that he had finally vanquished every impediment when he met his wife by appointment yesterday after- noon at the Arendes home. As a token of their reunion, in tri- umph over opposition from Mrs. Rose Cartan O'Brien, the bride’s mother, Howland placed upon his wife’s finger a plain gold wedding ring. Bride Defied Attorney Leahy, The spirit with which Mrs. Howland resisted the importunities of her family to renounce her husband became fully known yesterday, when it was learned that she dauntlessly repelled Attorney John 8S. Leahy’s efforts to persuade her to consent to an annulment of the mar- riage. Mrs. O’Brien, ill and broken in spirit by her vain atta¢ks upon her daughter’s will, at last enlisted the aid of the at- torney, who is a friend of the family. Mrs. Howland consented to call upon him at his office, and was accompanied by one of her sisters. Leahy, it is said, argued eloquently for two hours to the young wife on her duty to bew to her mother’s wishes. At the end, thinking her won over, he presented for her signature a petition asking the courts to set aside the mar- riage on the greund of duress, The heirees, in her loyalty to her swimmer husband, tore the papers inte fragments, it is said, and threw them at the attorney.

Om the principle. that all the world loves a lover, she engaged to have her husband call for Howland af the hotel. An hour later Arendes arrived with his wife and Howland joined them in their auto- mobile. They motored to Cabanne, Howland with the firm purpose of seeing his wife, from whom he was separated im- mediately after their marriage cere- mony. In the darkness they drove Slowly past the O’Brien home, 5117 Ma- ple avenue, whose walls of wealth and family opposition barred the life-saver from his bride. Kidnaping Is Pianned. The windows were brilliantly lighted, but there seemed to be no life within. Neither Mrs. Howland nor her cham- pion, Miss Gertrude, was seen. After a few minutes’ reconnoitering, the party drove to a drug store at Page and Academy avenues. Howland unfolded a plan to kidnap his wife. He took fhe chauffeur’s seat, cap plilled over his eyes, and Mrs. Aren- des sat in the tonneau. Arendes was to telephone Miss that a friend was injured at arug store and that she and Mrs. Howland should come at once. On tne bride's arrival. she was to be persuaded to enter the machine and be whisked away by her husband. Arendes telephoned the O'Brien home and was returning in disappointment to report that Miss O’Brien wee out, when the luck of the lovers dramatically in- (ervened, Sweethearts Are Reuniied. As if led by some telepathy, Mrs. Hiowland and her sister at that moment descended from a Page car at the very corner where her husband was waiting in the automobile, The athletic swim- mer gasped in astonishment and ex- claimed: “Helen!” “Jack!’’ cried the girl. With one spring, she was inside the motorcar. @he flung both arms about his neck and kissed him again and again, laughing and sobbing in a breath. It was their first meeting since the hour of thelr marriage. Arendes and his wife and Miss Ger- trude smiled tear-eyed upon the young couple, reunited after so many baffle- ments. Then all entered the machine. The young people sat together and re- counted their sufferings since Mrs. Howland was torn from her husband's arms, hurried to St. Louls and forbid- den ever te see him again. “I knew they oouldn’t turn you against me,” said the swimmer.

Mrs. How- tand and her sister left the car near their home after an hour’s spin. The swimmer did not see his bride Friday. It was because of her mother’s ill- ness that Mrs. Howland refused to join her husband at once. Although all information is refused at the home, it is reported that Mrs. O’Brien has been mortified into illness by the failure of her vigorous struggle to separate her daughter from her hus- pand.

LEE LINE CAR LEAVES RAILS; CRUSHES BOY AGAINST TREE Women Are Panic Stricken When Rear Trucks Swing Out to the Curb. Two passengers were injured, one seriously, when a Lee line car jumped the track last night at a corner known as Five Points, the intersec- tion of Twenty-fifth street, Glasgow avenue, Kossuth avenue and Angelica street. It was the going-home hour and the car was crowded. As it rounded the, curve trucks left the track. Frederick Schien. whose home is only half a hlock from the corner at 4123 Glas- gow avenue, was on the step, prepar- ing to jump off. As the car swung against the curb his right leg was caught between the step and a tree and crushed. J. 8. Roder of 4139 Carter avenue carried the koy four blocks to the office of Dr. T. D. Thompson at 4109 Grand avenue. From there he was taken to Mullanphy Hospital, where it was said that it would probably be neces- sary. to amputate his leg. Charles Curtis of 4205 Farlin av- enue was thrown from the car step and his jeft wrist was bruised. Wom- en passengers were panic-stricken. LUKE M.

I have now seen many thousands of Americans, and I do.not believe one word of this. I see in their faces the richest spiritual promise. I have not seen any evidence of a sordid devotion to money. This is a country of great possibili- ties, and it is right that its people should desire to realige those possibili- ties. It is right and proper that a man should wish to be comfortable, to have the comforts of life, I mean; to know that his family is secure against want in the event that he shall die or be There is nothing to condemn in a hu- man striving for these things, when starved by a striving exclusively for wealth at the sacrifice of all other things.

For this reason I am especially glad that I have been able to visit this country and see its people and its life and its actual conditions for myself. I feel a great friendliness toward the American people, and they have given me excellent reason to believe that they are friéiidly toward the Catholic faith, this proof coming plentifully from many who are not of that faith. Again, now, I take pleasure in greeting the people of St. Louis, whom it is my good fortune to visit.”’ At this moment Cardinal Vannutelli was interfupted by the announcement that the hour had arrived for himseif and his party to proceed to the Knights of Columbus reception, arranged in their honor. With a kindly smile he excused himself and joined the waiting party. It was a most picturesque gathering— an assemblage headed by a Cardinal, with two archbishops, several bishops, a group of monsiegnors, a prince, a count, a number of. priests, and many gentlemen in evening dress, the wide and varied contrast of costumes conati- tuting a brilliant scene not soon to be forgotten. , wr ST.

RN by the fatigues of a strenu- WV ews day, Cardinal Vannutelli was compelled to disappoint 1000 of the faithful who wished to kiss his hand at a brilliant reception last night ut the Knights of Columbus Hall, 3549 Olive street. Five hundred women,and men had passed before the dails on which the eminent visitor sat and had bent their lips to his hand, when Arch- cishop Glennon went to his rescue, remonstrating earnestly in Italian. Thereafter the Cardinal saluted each person with a barely perceptible flut- ter of his hand towards his head. The papal legate rode to the hall in an automobile with his secretary, Archbishop Glennon and Mayor Kreis- mann. They were welcomed by 30 Knights of Columbua, who formed a reception committee, and by 25 zou- aves in gorgeous uniforms. Archbishop Ireland at Hall. At the hail, Cardinal Vannutelli was met by Archbishop Ireland, who arrived on an afternoon train from Baltimore. The women who were present at the re- ception sat in the gallery while the men occupied the floor. Archbishop Ireland introduced the Car- 7 dinal, and asked him to take to the Pope a message of America's faith. Mayor “Tl have the honor of bidding welcome to His Eminence in behalf of the peo- ple df St. Louis. I consider it a pleas- ant duty to let him know thet all St. Louisans, regardless of creed, welcome him, knowing what the Catholic church has given to our city.” The Cardinal, evidently wearied, spoke but a sentence, in French, before be- stowing the papal biessing on the Knights of Columbus. It wag translated by his secretary into English. He said: *T hope that this benediction wil} make you knights indeed—knights ‘sans peur et sans reproche.’ At 8:30 o'clock this morning, the Cardinal will say mass at the New Cathedral Chapel.

As the legate arrived in hts automebile, a throng of mothers, with tears in their eyes, held their babies up for his blessing. He touched many of them with his hands, murmuring benedic- tions and smiling the radiant smile in which his whole being seems to participate. After a short visit at St. Joseph's Carmelite Convent, Eighteenth and Victor streets, the Cardinal returned, exhausted, to the archiepiscopal resi- dence to rest.

HE’S FIRED HIS HAREM Declares Plurality of Wives Is Too Expensive; Worries Along With One. By Leased Wire From the New York Bereau to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—His sublime highness, the Sultan of Sulu, Hadil Mohammed Jamalul Kiram II, ruler in name of the 182 islands of the Jo- loano archipelago, and of 85,000 sub- jects, fully a third of whom were for- merly slaves, arrived on the St. Louis today, attended by a suite of six per- sons. The seventh member of the party is C. J. Werble, originally of Chicago, ex-private of the Seventeenth United States Infantry. After leaving the the service, Werble went to Jolo, the Sultan’s capital, married a Malay woman, mastered the language and rose to high favor at court. The little Sultan, who began his travels on June 12 with the object of selling some pearls, seeing the world, learning how the Uniteq States does things and above all seeing “Govern- or’ Taft is about 6 feet 8 inches in height. His head is rather large, his complexion light brown, cheek bones high, features large and pitted by smallpox. Between his blackened teeth * gleam strips of gold. Rings of gold, green and white flash upon the third and little fingers of his left hand. A _ little black mustache is apparently waxed to points. His eyes, bright and of an indefinable color, twinkle with intel- ligence. He weighs about 130 pounds. lle ts wide of girth and his legs, which are slim, and appear still slimmer in his tight-fitting trousers, suggest the brownie. He is between 30 and 40 years old. Sells Pearls for 60,000, KXiram II wore an inexpensive brown- ish cutaway sult, ,with the coat but- toned, a cheap bow tie and a fez with a red plush band, his only native ar- ticle of dress.. He carried a gold- headed, ivory walking stick presented by the Philippine Commission through Maj. Scott, in 1905, Governor of the Archipelago. “Prime Minister” teaching Kiram II the vsuage. The Sultan Scott in good English. Maj. Scott, whom all the Joloanos call “father,” bearded the St. Louis at quarantine. Kiram said he desired to send back to Jolo some American school teachers and advance his people in the ways of civilization. Above all, he said, he desired to see “Governor” Taft. “If I could not have seen the ‘rovernor,’” he said, “I should not lave come here at all.” The Sultan is said to have disposed of his pearls for $60,000. In all he realized less than $100,000 from his jewelry, which he sold to build schools for his people. Regarding his personal revenue, he said that he received from the Ameri- ean Government 500 pesos (about $250) a month and from the British North Borneo Co. annually about $2700, so that this yearly revenue from governments is about $5000 a year. Wives No Longer His Hobby. When interviewers began to ques- tion Werble about the Sultan’s wives, Kiram fully comprehended and took a hand in English in the conversa- tion, “There used to be a time,” said his highness, “when my hobby was wives. But now I have only one wife. Four wives are no good. It’s better to have only one wife than to have four. A number of wives make trouble. You rave to buy too many clothes for them. That makes you poorer. It is not so much the Wives themselves that are objectionable, but it is the trouble they cause.” Werble told his highness about the musical comedy named for him-— George Ade’s adaptation, which, ac- Werble is now English lan- greeted Major cording to critics and travellers, is . - ore. ; ae. ue ys ¢ ae et, Gh ue bs be mabige od | —— OF tot a Fe ay +h Be not so much of an adaptation after all. Kiram showed much interest and sald he would like very much to see “The Sultan of Sulu.’’ He intended to see some theatrical shows while ~ ae numbers among his people, the Juramentados, a band of fanatics, who formerly took an oath to devote their entire lives to killing Christians. Kiram was much attracted by the uniforms of the American officers when they first went to Sulu, One day, he asked Col. Scott's permigzon to go to Singapore, and was told to ‘‘go ahead.” “T want to get a uniform like you fellows,’ said His Highness. He sent to Singapore and bought a uniform that cost him $1,500, and was said to have been the loudest ever seen. When he arrived back at Jolo, the custom house taxed him $5 duty sm it. and it was seventgen months be- wre His Highness could get it back by decision of the Tr ury.

In this number there is an estimate of 3024 names, or 189 for each of the precincts from which figures have not yet been received. Added to the 98,858 names left on the books after the revision following the registration of last July, Thursday's enrollment would give a total of 178,445 eligible voters in the 28 wards. From this number there is expected to be a reduction of about 20 per cent, or 16,000 names, when the registration is revised. This would leave more than 162,000 on the list. The registration of last July was decreased by about 24 per cent when the enrollment was scru- tinized. Assuming the recent cénsus of St. Louis to have been correct, there is a voter to every four persons in the city. The customary ratio is one voter to every four and one-half of population. If the same relative proportion of those now registered cast their bal- lets as went to the polls in iws, the vote in St. Loufs will be 148,000, the largest ever recorded here. In 1908 the vote on election day represented 91 per cent of the revised. registration. The Seventeenth Ward—formerly the Twenty-second—has the largest regis- tration.

LOUIS Postmaster-General’s Style Easy for Tall Politicians, Hard for Others. A new high handshake, brought by Postmaster-General Hitchcok on his visit to St. Louis yesterday, was his contribution to the local political situ- ation. The handshake was for Stand- patters and insurgents alike. or it would have been if any insurgents had called at Hotel Jefferson, where the Postmaster-General stopped. The new shake did not make such a hit yesterday as to assure it a long run here. .But it is possible to ac- quire it, and if very many do ac- guire it, short men will see one more proof that the long pole gathers the fruit off the persimmon tree. : It takes a tall man to shake hands with Hitchcock itn his new style, which is straight out from the shoul- der, with an overhand motion. Postmaster Akins was the first on whom Hitchcock tried it. He had to try twice before he could make the proper upper thrust. Then he found Judge Nortoni of the Court of Ap- peals, and put him through the mo- tions. It was easy for Marshal Reg- enhardt, a 6-footer, but Surveyor of the Port Gallenkamp and Subtreasur- er Whitelaw dodged the ordeal. Post- master Akins told his younger daugh- ter about the handshake, and she went through it successfully, assur- ing Hitchcock, in answer to a ques- tion, that she was not her sister, Miss Zoe Akins, but was only the “baby” of the family. ; Prominent Denver Physician Dies.

The freight car, it is said, ha@ or- ders td stop at the first switch north of Ressler’s Crossing; but tried_to make the first switch south. A clump of trees hid the limited and the crew of the freight hardly had time to jump and save their lives. The front end of the limited was shattered and all the passengers in the smoking compartment were killed. Farmers telephoned to Tipton for physicians and the seriously in- jured were cared for in nearby homes until the arival of the physfctans in automobiles.

[ALDRICH IS A KING IN EXILE; BELIEVES HE MADE EMPIRE On Shipboard, Bound for France, Tells Post-Dis- patch Writer Tar- iff Made U. S. Great. By ROY L. McCARDELL Special Correspondent of the Dispatch. ABOARD THE KAISERIN AU.-. GUSTE VICTORIA, Sept. 10. (By , mail from Cherbourg, France.)—On | this floating Atlantis, a city in the sea, is a king, enroute to exile, a man who, in his own estimation, at least, made an empire from which he is banished. For, as truly as this is a city on the sea, with its tehement districts, the steerage; its middle class resi- dential section in its second class cabin; and its Fifth avenue and Riverside Drive in its life de luxe first class—so truly is Nelson W. Al- drich, first cabin passenger, a king in exile, a banished monarch, His head is not bowed, however, and he gazes in the sun as the eagle gazes. An eagle, a great, gray eagle, that is his best description. I had been introduced to him in Washington several years ago, a fact he was politician enough to remember when the usual civilities at sea brought ug again in contact. Senator Aldrich, protagonist of the tariff, is ‘a man of 5 feet 10, a 160 pounds, ruddy complexion, keen, dark brown eyes and gray mustache and hair. He is a bald eagle with head un- covered. His natural expression is stern and distant; but, at a word, a smile lights up the face and the whole air changes to suave and almost kind- ly tactfulness. He was in. such a mood as we walked around the deck and talked of all the things of which ship-fast folk speak. I asked him what was his opinion of the spread of the insurgency move- ment, as witness the recent Western primaries among the Republicans, es- pecially in California very recently, some reports of which had come by wireless and had been published in the daily paper printed aboard the Kaiserin Auguste iVctoria. Not Interested in Politics. He smiled enigmatically and said he had paid no attention te the matter. “T am on my way to Aitix-les-Bains for rest and recuperation,” he replied, ‘and I will not have and have not now any interest in politics whatsoever.” “You are more of a business politician than a practical politician,” I suggested. But the gentleman from Rhode Island said he supposed he had been too busy to stop and classify himself. He couldn't say just what sort of a poli- ticlan he was, if any. He’d leave that for others. It evidently eccurred to him that many others had classified him as something worse than either a business or practical politician, for he said: “Tt is strange, isn’t it, that there is only one popular conception of a pa- triot and a man who loves his coifntry and is useful to it? What of the men that enlarge their country’s commerce, whe make prosperous cities grow, mak- ing for progress, wealth and all the benefactions of industry, where pover- ty-stricken villages were before? Can- not men who invest, who give brain and care to progress and development of the city that makes the state, of states that make the nation, be as loy- al and as patriotic and as great in lov- ing their nation, and as interested in its real and substantial welfare, as the veriest demagogue that ever ranted in public or in print?” I said I could see no reason why the citizen who did things was not as worthy as the citizen who only said things. ; “But,” I added, “it isn’t so much a question of patriotism or love of coun- try. The agitation, as I understand it, is on the question of a high tariff be- ing a burden to so many to the enrich- ment of the few.”’ The father of high tariff regarded me quizzically, and I went on about ‘the high cost of living and the fact that tariff-protected American manufactured goods sold, in some instances, cheaper in foreign markets than at home. | His View of the .Tariff. “That has been answered often,” said the Senator. “Increased cost of living is not a problem peculiar to the United States alone. It is world-wide and is being agitated In Germany, France and England. It is doubtless due to the fact that everybody desires to have bet-

ter food and clothes and other things than what formerly contented the vari- ous citizen. Tariff Made United States Great. “Goods sold cheaper abroad than at home has caused question in all coun- tries. It is due to the fact that all manufacturers in all. countries would rather sell cheaper abroad upon occa- sion than to accumulate stock at home and have to shut down their plants. “Germans complain of German goods sold cheaper in Rio Janerio than in Berlin, and the French of silks sold cheaper in Algiers than in Lyons, where they were woven. “The fact is simple and plain that under a protective tariff the United States has become great, powerful and prosperous. I hold no brief for any- thing or anybody except that fact, and that {is all I care to say.” And that WAS all he cared to say, and that was all he did or would say. He did not care for the smug and ffissy rich men aboard the Kaliserin Auguste Victoria, no more than he did for the bedraggled foreign workmen returning from America who, swarm- ing the forward decks, fell beneath his keen brown eyes as he paced around the promonade deck hour after hour, solitary and alone. And smug and fussy men whom the Aldrich tariff schedules had made mil- lionaires were abroad in plenty. Their numbers were not go great as the toll- worn men and women going away from the land of the free and the home of the brave disheartened and discouraged in the steerage, but they were proud of the fact that the great protectionist was with us. The steerage passengers knew he was aboard as well, for he was our one mighty man, although, and steerage and first cabin both knew it, he was in his decline, the day of his down- fall was at hand, he was a king in exile. The smug and fussy millionaires aboard, by their very air of indignation and attitude of alliance, showed they knew his kingdom had passed, that the revisionist was on his throne and the insurgent at his gate. Taciturn and Tactful. But the old eagle cared neither for their condemnation of Roosevelt nor their commendation of himself. Their blustering fulminations that “Roose- velt is a rank Socialist’ or that “he is endeavoring to destroy the men who made him” or,that “he is out-Hearst- ing Hearst” were only met by the old Rhode. Island eagle with an almost mocking smile, but with no word of either affirmation or denial. On the second day out two of the fussiest of the fussy rich men aboard held him up as he circled around the deck and poured abuse of Roosevelt and scorn of Murdock and Pinchot, and all other insurgents into his ears. But the Senator from Rhode Island, the maker of tariffs, the wet nurse of overgrown infant industries, smiled and smiled, an old gray eagle, as tactiturn as he was tactful. In the offing, plowing through the weary seas, was the tank steamer Iroquois and, behind her and in tow, the barge tank Navahoe. They carried 14,000 tons of Stand- ard oil to England. The old eagle’s eyes were upon them. For they were his by marriage, his son-in-law being, as all know, John D. Rockefeller Jr. Perhaps, as the smug and fussy mil- lionaires vexed his ears with vain things, his thoughts were on the oil that would ease his years in exile. Then the smile faded to a frown— perchance now his thoughts turned upon the rubber wherewith he was bounced! Who knows? A tall,.spare figure, brisk and alert by day and night, he scuttled down the long wooden sidewalks of the city at sea, like the White Rabbit in “Alice in Wonderland.” Always alone, always as quick and nervous as a man of 20. Affable if approached, yet ap- proaching no one, apart from the millionaires he had made in the em- vire he had builded as he was apart from the toilworn men and women forward. He kept aloof and alone. He held his head high, but the mark of his banishment was upon him. So, the lawmaker, the ruler of rul- ers, the conservator of . privilege, leaves the kingdom behind him which he has so long ruled through other men and his own measures, Believes Himself a Patriot. His power is gone and he knows it. But wWhen he breaks through the guards of his reserve, the firm tones of his voice, the keen gleam in his eye, show that HE knows he ig the patriot, and that HE believes that his policies and his tariff making is the cause today of the greatness and prosperity of the nation that in the end has repudiated him, exfled him and made his name a byword for money, greed and privileged oppres- sion, He @elieveg in himself, his motives and in all that for which all his name stands. He believes that his United States is a mighty nation, enriched by the industries he has encouraged, protected and developed. No matter that the nation denies and repudiates him now, he not only believes in himself and his worka, but he knows they are good, He be-

And so, going into exile, he stands, @ grim, old eagle and gazes in the sun, nor cares a whit that he is cursed or praised. On the last day of the voyage the cry, “A whale! A whale!” was raised, but he did not leave his suite de luxe to look at it. He has nothing in common with warm-blooded mammals, Thus he was on the floating city in the sea; so he was as the train sped from Cherbourg to Paris, and so he will be as the old Roman city in Savoy of Aix-les-Baines, where he will treat for*ailments he has not, a king in exile, He says he will return to the United States, his former kingdom, in about six weeks, but “they never come back.” This, too, he knows, for they are wise beyond all men who gaze into the sun.

TAFT'S CABINET {9 READY FOR THREE DAY WAR GOUNGIL Executive and Aids Are Will- ing to Aid Insurgents to Beat Democrats. By Wire From the Washington Ba- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—President Taft will arrive in Washington at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning for a three-day Cabinet meting. Three “members of the Cabinet are here, Secretaries Knox, Ballinger and Wil- gon. Postmaster-General :Hitchcock and Secretaries MacVeigh and Meyer will arrive tomorrow, while Attor- ney-General Wickersham and Secre- tary Nagel will reach here early Monday morning. Secretary Dickin- son will be the only absentee. He is in China. Politics, state and national, will occupy the greater part of the meet- ing. How to turn threatened defeat into victory this fall will be 4dis- cussed, New York, Illinois and Indi- ana will figure largely in the dis» cussion. Mr. Taft will also seek aid for the fight to be made in Ohto. , If the Cabinet votes to throw the strength of the administration to the insurgents, the congressional com- mittee will follow suit and there will be knifing. It is believed here that both the administration and the or- ganization in Congress would prefer an increased insurgent faction in their own party to having the House Democratic. It has become obvious to the ad- ministration that, to save itself from destruction In 1912, many of the stetes now threatening to go Demo- cratic this fall will have to be saved, and it is not now a matter whether the reactionaries or progressives do the work. In other words, the ad- ministration will lend all aid pos- sible to all Republicans, regular or insurgent, and regardless of. past dif- ferences between them and the White

House.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH.

NEWSPAPERS HINT THE SPANISH KING WELCOMES EXILE Alfonso Is Intent on Pastimes While Revolution Is Threatening. 1910, by the Press Pub. Co. New York World.) MADRID, Spain, Sept. “#*—King Al- fonso’s gayety in the crisis through \which Spain is passing occasions much comment. He pursues his pastimes as ardently as if there were no -:reason ‘why he should have a care, while all about him are plunged in anxiety. He is all smiles and banter and keen for enjoyment, in an atmosphere of set- tiled sadness. Dread of a catastrophe is wearing his mother and his wife, and gioom pervades the royal household while the King seems intent chiefly on play. The exouse is made that his buoyant spirit cannot be repressed and that at &% he is too young to feei responsibil- ity. Some of the Republican news papers express the opinien that he is net wearing a mask but really feels as light hearted as he seems. They justi- fy this view by saying that, having made huge investments abroad, he would rather weloome an exile tn which he might fellow his own inclinatiens {Instead of being bored by affairs of state. Signs sti petnt to danger fer the |

monarchy. Republicans declare that revolution is rapidly approaching. Many monarchists are profoundly im- pressed with that fear. Should Canalejas fall and the King send for Senor Maura, the Conserva- tive leader, it is said that the Repub- licans would organize tumults, upris- ings, strikes and insurrections and pre- cipitate a revolution. ZERWECK-FRECH JEWELRY CO. STARTS BIG SALE TOMORROW A special sale of high-class jewelry will be inaugurated tomorrow by the Zerweck-Frech Jewelry Co. at its sales- rooms, 812 North Sixth street.

ORIMER INQUIRY |WALLING WANTS OPENS TOMORROW, ‘WRITE ON STAND By Associated Press. CHICAGO, Sept. 24-—When the Senatorial Investigating Committee be- gins the inquiry into the election of Senator William Lorimer, Monday, it is expected that Representatives Charles A. White, a Democratic leg- islator, who voted for Senator Lori- mer, will be the first witness to take the stand. No formal announcement that sub- penag had been served was *made today by Chairman Burrows, but it was tacitly admitted by the senators on the committee that Rep- resentative White had bétn served with a summons and that he would be the initial witness. Fifteen others, including several legislators, are understood to have been either served with summons or to have declared their readiness to testify. «=H. J. C. Beckmeyer and Michael Link, Democratic legislators who testified in the trials of Repre- sentative Lee O’Neill Browne for bribery, are expected to be among thé first to testify. Chairman Burrows today received a telegram from Senator James B. Frazier, a Democrat of Tennessee, that he would arrive early next week. No word was received foday from Senator Morgan G, Bulkeley, a Re- publican of Connecticut, the other ab- sentee,

UN AUTOIST, BUT NE SPEEDS AWAY Leader of Highwaymen Tries to Stop Car on Natural Bridge Road. When a highwayman armed with a rifle stepped into the path of Edward G. Eggeling’s automobile last night a mile west of Carsonville, on the Nat- ural Bridge road, and commanded him to halt, Eggeling threw open the throt- tle and aimed the machine as a pro- jectile at the robber. He sprang aside in the nfck of time to avoid being runt down, and in his astonishment fired In the air. As Eg- geling sped under a trestle from which the highwayman had emerged: three accomplices fired down from above at the motorist. Bending low in his seat, he kept the machine in the road, and although pursued by bullets, fled out of range at 60 miles an hour, escaping unscathed, — Negro Empleye Under Sent. Hggeling is a florist, at 168 South Grand avenue, and lives et 20 Eads avenue. He had been to his green- houses at Kinloch Park and-was re- turning to the city. Joseph Brown, a negro employe, was with him, and hid under a seat during the ‘fusfllade. . Constable Bode and several deputies left Clayton for the scene of the at- tempted hold-up on receipt of a tele- phone message from Carsenville. That a band of robbers is at large near Kin- loch Park is believed not only from Eggeling’s encounter, but from attempts Friday night te rob the saloon of Jultus Mueller at Carsonvile and the general merchandise shop of H. Hobelmann at Normandie.

A brigade of boys crying “Home! home; vote for home! and a shower of flowers from the hands of a com- pany of girls greeted Mrs. Mary Har- ris Armor, a noted prohibition orator, on her arrival at the Union Station last night for a month’s campaign in Missouri. The welcome was arranged by the local branch of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

When we confront her with these letters she will be in a quandary how to explain her suit for $100,000 damages. We have been un- able to see her, and this motion will force her appearance fn court..

Earnestly Prayed to Die. Condition Deplorable Beyond Description. Tries Cuticura. Eureka! Relief at Once. Stopped Terrible Burning Sen- sation From Word Go. In Six Weeks Skin Smooth as This Paper. I have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D.’s psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skillful doctors, it slow- ly but surely extended until a year ago this winter it cov- ered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do any labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet of my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of winter my “skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, al- most, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I had a sister living. One Dr. —— treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. All thought I had but a. short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe nails came off ; finger- -nails dead and hard as a bone; hair dead, dry and lifeless as old straw. O my God! how I did suffer. My sister, Mrs. E. H. Davis, had a small part of a box of Cuticura in the house. She wouldn’t give up; said: ‘‘We will try Cuticura.’’ Some was applied on the hand and arm. Eureka! there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cutjcura Resolvent, Ointment and Soap. I commenced by taking one tablespoonful of Cuticura Resolvent three times a day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Oointment morning and evening. Result: re- turned to my home in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. HIRAM E. CARPENTER, Henderson, N.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2. HE Cardinals and Superbas split 7 even in a double-header today when the former should have won two games. They dropped the opener, 4—3 in 10 innings, and won the second, 4—-2. The loss of the first was a heart- breaker. It never would have gone into extra innings had it not been for an unfortunate muff by Mowrey of, a thrown ball that a schoolboy would have held onto. It came in the sixth inning, in which the Brooklyns tied the thre@ runs the Cardinals already had to their credit. Daubert opened the inning with a vicious smash straight at Steele. It bounded off his shins and rolled over toward first, and before he could get it back Daubert was on the bag. -That didn’t hurt, though, because Wheat immediately sent a tap to Steele on which Daubert was forced at second. Then Hummel hit a mighty swat to center for three bases and Wheat came home. * Coulson was caught off third and it looked like a sure rundown, but Mowrey muffed Koney's toss, after the latter had retrieved the ball when it got by Phelps. When McElveen fol- lowed with a single, Coulson scored what proved to be the tying run, and the Cardinals could not score again. In the tenth they had the best kind of a chance but luck was against them, They had three men on base with none out, but, nary a one could Roger shoo across. Phelps, the first to get to third, tried to score on a half passed ball. Had he got an early start, he would have made it, but ‘he hesitated and then made the attempt and Mil- ler got it to Knetzer in time for the putout. This advanced Oakes, who had batted for Abbott, to third and when Steele sent a fiy to Coulson in right, he tried to get home, .but Coulson pegged him with a direct throw to the plate. In the Brooklyns’ half Daubert was hit by a pitched ball. A> passed ball sent him on to second and he got third on a delayed steal, Phelps’ throw to Hauser to catch him off. second com- ing to the little shortstop on a short bound. ro | CowSosoeocorwsSO BROOKLYN.

Blue and White Eleven Defeats Contest in Which Little New Foot- ball Is Played. : Shurtleff in

The local football season. was ush- ered in yesterday, when the St. Louis University team defeated the Shurtleff College eleven, of Alton, 25 to 0, at the new university campus. The game was divided into periods of eight minutes each, with a three-minute intermission between the first and second, and also between the third and fourth parts and the regular fifteen-minute rest in the middle of the game, as in previous years. Tifis was not only the first game of the season, but also the first real try-out af the new rules and even though it was drizzling about time for the spec- tators to start for the grounds, a good- sized crowd of enthusiasts turned out to see what the officials and players’ would do under the new conditions. But both teams stuck almost entirely to the old style of plays and very few of the formations made possfble under the new code of rules, were ever attempt- ed, and the game from the spectators’ point of view, was about the same as before. The only plays at all out of the ordinary, that were attempted, were six forward passes, four by Shurtlefif and two by St. Louis, and even these are by no means, new this year. Of the four passes that were at- temped by Shurtleff, none were successful, while the two by St. Louis were both pulled off successfully and each netted a touchdown. As so few new plays were tried out, the only unusual things that the officials had to pay special attention to were the restrictions covering the 20-yard zone and also the flying tackle. Billy Connett, who referred § the game, seemed to have’ learned the rules thoroughly and was master of the situation at all times. One rule that he did follow closely related to the giving of assisfance to players by pushing or pulling. Both teams were penalized often for offences of this nature. Regarding the rule cov- ering tackles which says that at least one foot must be on the ground when the tackle is made, the officials had no trouble whatsoever as the major- ity of the players on both. teams, especially Shurtleff, seemed to be lacking in this department of the game’'and most of the tackles were made about the neck with both feet on the ground. Although the playing of both teams was very ragged, as is only natura! at this early stage of the game, Coach Bender expressed himself as very well pleased with the showing made, but said the players had a lot to

QUALEY BENEFIT BEING ARRANGED Qualey, who the world's record single game of ten- pins In the individual competition of the American Bowling Congress at Detroit last winter, will depart from St. Louis in the near future. An of- fer of a good position to take charge of.a brarch for a large sporting goods house in the South andill health is the cause of Qualey’s decision to move from St. Louis after making his home in this city for the past six years. At Detroit Qualey rolled 278 in one of his three games in the singles competition. For days he was high man for the three games in the tour- rament in which close to 4000 of the best bowlers from all over the coun- try competed. The 278 was a world’s record score. It was only a bad break in iuck that kept Qualey from wetting a perfect game of 300, which would have won the A. B, Cc. three- game championship medal for him. ‘Al Jellison, Homer Sanders and other local tenpin stars got together : to hold a big benefit in the near future, the pro- ceeds of which will be used to obtain a suitable testimonial to present to

The plan in brief is to hold con- ferences of officials who usually of- ficiate at St. Louis games and to have a sort of school for officials, coaches and athletic instructors of schools and celleges with a view to promoting a uniform interpretation of the rules among officials, coaches and players. The result of such uniform. interpre- tation is expected to result in putting the game on a-higher plane and to eliminate all cause for disputes dur- ing the progress of games.

Louis. | Stallings’ Head Certain to Fall *

SIGNAL TIPPING SUANDAL CAUSES NEW YORK Fan]

—Chase Seems the Prob- able Successor for 1911.

CLEVELAND, oO. Sept. 24.-—Hal Chase is to be manager of the New York Highlanders. George Stallings, present manager, who is in New York, will not rejoin the team. This much is practically certain, although Owner Frank Farrell refused today to make an official statement, on the ground that he had promised Stallings to see him before making known his de- cision. Farrell returns to New York tonight. However, Farrell told enough to make it plain that he will fire Stall- ings and appoint Chase manager. This, it is belleved, is at the dictation of Ban Johnson, who is said to have called Stallings into his office in Chi- cago, last Monday, and told him he must get down and out. New York players are saying Stall- ings was not surprised, last Monday, when summoned into Johnson’s of- fice. When he returned from the con- ference he was crestfallen. He knew he was “through,” when he went to New York from Chicago, last Wednesday, to see Farrell, his em- ployer. Johnson's visit here last night was merely to deliver his ultimatum to Farrell, personally. The president has been after Stall- ings ever since the tipping scandal at Highlanders’ Park, last year. FRASER ALLOWS ONLY ONE HIT “Chick’’ Fraser, formerly of the Chi- cago Cubs, but now a member of the West Ends of Chicago, had about ey- erything that a good pitcher needs to succeed in any company yesterday aft- ernoon at Kulage’s Park, and as a re- sult the West Ends took the Hyde Parks into camp, 5to1l. Fraser allowed put one hit. The West Ends are the champions of the Chicago City League, while the Hyde Parks are the champions of the Trolley League of St. Louis. The same teams play a double-header at Kulage’s Park this afternoon, which will bring the series to a close. ‘“‘Minnie” Harden,'a St. Louis boy, who has been pitching in the Tri-State League this season, twirled for the Hyde Parks. Harden was wild-in the earlier innings and later on the Chicago men were able to find his benders fre- quently. He was not given the best of support by any means. Catcher Cole- man of the Hyde Parks was away off in his throwing to bases. HYDE PARKS. AB, R.

HUNTER OF YALE WINS GOLF PLAY MANCHESTER, Mass., Sept. 24.— A missed tee shot after 38 holes of steady and often brilliant playing, cost Harvard the individual inter- collegiate golf championship today. Robert E. Hunter of Yale, a member of the Midlothian Club of Chicago, defeated A. C. Davidson of Harvard in the final round 1 up in 39 holes. The victory gives Yale its seventh annual golf championship, while the teams in the intercollegiate cham- pionship also go to the New Haven college. Hunter's brilliant work in the early part of the match, which took six hours and fifteen minutes to play and was finished just at dusk, stalled off defeat which seemed inevitab e. At the 25th hole the match looked like a gift to the Harvard player, who was 4 oP at that point. Here the young icago golfer spurted brilliantly and squared the match at the 34th and from thence to the 88th the holes were halved. Then came Davidson’s mishap and Hunter's vic- tory. MARTIN AND GILLIAM LOSE IN NORMANDIE GOLF PLAY All the matches in the first round of the fall tournament of the Nor- mandie Golf Club were finished yes- terday over a wet course. Many sur- prises occurred in the championship class,-especially the defeat of A. 8. Martin by W. C. Sipple and the de- feat of Walter Gilliam, the veteran southpaw, by. A. H. Brueggeman. The matches in the second round, in al] classes, will be played next week and will have to be finished by next Saturday. The results in the first round fol- low: Geo. Paine beat Willie Hall, 3 rt. rg A. Walt beat O. Immenhausen, 1 W. L. Michener beat B. O. Baker 3 and 2; C. McAdams beat A. T. Lincoln, 1 uD; W. C. Sipple beat A. S. Martin, l* up; C. L.

Minnesota played all around, their lighter opponents in the first half, the back field men going through the line and around the ends at will. Both teams relied almost er- tirely upon straight fodétball. Law- rence never looked dangerous. The work of McGovern and Rosenwald was conspicuous.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. football had its first test here today in the game between Pennsylvania and Ursinus, the latter winning 8 to 5. There was no fluke to the vic- tory. Ursinus clearly outplayed Pennsylvania in three of the four periods. Whether it was forward passing and running or line plung- ing the visitors were superior to the Pennsylvanians. In the first quarter Ursinus scored a goal from placement and in the third made a touchdown after a 40- yard run that was started with a forward pass. Pennsylvania did not rally until the final period, when Rensdell, the sprinter, entered the game and seored the only touchdown for Pennsylvania. After the game, Dr. Carl Williams, who helped draft the new rules, de- clared his belief that they imposed too great a burden on the offense and that.two teams evenly matched and conditioned would have great difficulty in scoring. He advised that the distance to be gained in three downs be reduced from 10 yards to five yards or that a runner be allowed to receive assistance from at least one of his interference. The game was surprisingly clean. Only four penalties were inflicted for assisting the runner, three times against Ursinus and once against Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania made eight substitutions, two men ‘taking part twice. Ursinus played the en- tire game with but eleven men. Only once was time taken out for an in- jured player. After the game both sides criticised the division of the time into four periods, declaring that it slowed up the game and was not necessary to save the players from exhaustion. The lineup: . ’ PENN.

T, COBB BLAMED FOR TIGERS’ LOSS DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 24—Some recent critictsm of Sam Crawford because of his falling off in batting and slowing up in speed brought from that player today an answer in which he stated that ‘‘too much Cobb’’ was the reason the Tigers lest the pennant this year. He said that he and Bush were not on speaking terms withethe Georgian, though when Cobb first joined the team Crawford took his part when other players ‘“‘called’’ him for fils “fresh- ness.”’ . “He finally became unbearable,” said Sam. Crawford criticised the policy of club in permitting Cobb to do practical- ly as he pleased, saying it made har- mony in the ranks intrpossible. Sam also blamed the offering of an automl- bile as a batting prize for a share in the Tiger slump. ‘It made Cobb forget team play and look enly for base hits,’ said Craw- ford. “This spoiled team work as & result. He said Cobb had complained that with Crawford batting after him his (Cobb’s) scoring ability has been

NELSON GETS IN GAME Senators, it was expected he would needs only nine more whiffs to equal the Johnson will have to wait until another day. He has been complaining of a sore shoulder recently, but believed that the allment had left. Judging from his poor showing in the opening round, it probably needs a little more rest. as Somerlott’s play at first was a feature. He picks them up nicely. Three throws from McBride were of the low variety, but the newcomer dug them up and held on. Boyd is a big right-hander. He seemed to have lots of stuff on his offerings, but went to pieces in round 4 Nelson wag dropped into the pastime et a ticklish time. The bases were filled and none were out. He walked a batter and allowed another to single, but then settled down. Nel. son's showing the remainder of the way was fairly good. Stone opened the third round with a double over Milan's bead. On a dry field tt would probably have netted him a home run, but the ball dropped dead after hitting the heavy ground, Northen sacrificed Stone to third, but when Hartzell rolled to McBride George was run down between third and home. Next Milan G@ropped a drive from Wallace's bat, but the error did no damage, as Griggs grounded to Fiberfeld.

LUCK MAY PLAY STRONG PART IN WORLD’S SERIES Gut All “Breaks” Being Equal, Amer- ican League Team’s Attack Should Win Coming Struggle for Title.

BY TYRUS RAY MOND COBB. [Copyright by Metropolitan News Syndicate. ] N a very few days the Chicago ‘*Cubs’’ of the National League and the | Philadelphia ‘‘ Athleties’’ of the American League will be grappling for the championship of the world. I believe that it will be the most sensa- tional and the hardest fought world’s series that has ever been played. If both teams play to their usual form, and if the luck of the game is at all evenly balanced, I believe that the ‘Philadelphia “ Athletics’’ will win the championship of the world for the American League. I make the two provisions of ‘“‘form’’ . and luck. By ‘“‘form’’ I mean, the style of baseball play, that has made each of these two teams the champion of its League. By luck I mean the great un- certainty, the element of chance, that makes baseball the favorite game of the people of the United States. In a series of seven games for the championship of the world, the team that wins the first game has ‘‘an ace in the hole’ to use a poker term. That first game puts its winner on a pedestal to which the loser is trying to climb. It means an uphill fight for the under team. The players know that it only takes the next game to tie the percentage, but {t takes two straight victories to gain the iead. The Philadelphia Americans and the Chicago Nationals are both ‘‘fast starters.’’ To judge of them by their past perform- _ ances they should both put up the clev- —~ ~ erest, hardest sort of ball in that first COBB. game, and if they do, and the goddess of fortune keeps her hands off, I think that Philadelphia will win. I will not attempt to “‘dope’’ the lineup of the Chicago Nationals, as the abil- ity of practically every player onthe team is known and ‘his mettle has been tried in three previous world’s series. The Philadelphia Americans are, how- ever, a more unknown quantity and I shall give my reasons for thinking them the better team, simply from the standpoint of a player who has contested against both the teams under discussion. I consider the Philadelphia pitching staff to be very strong, and.I expect to see them use Plank, Bender and Coombs in the first three games. Plank, if he is in form, will undoubtedly plfch the first game, with Ira Thomas catching. Right here I want to state definitely that the catchers will not figure as prominently in the result of the world’s series of 1910 as they have heretofore, because Philadelphia relies on slam-bang hitting to win their games and will not attempt to run bases freely. The offensive game is where the Philadelphia team shines: I shall not be surprised to see its defensive or fielding game, excepting the work of its pitch-

I shall not be surprised to see tts defensive or fielding game, excepting the work of 4ts ‘pitchers, in- ferior to Chicago’s, but I firmly believe that Philadelphia’s clean hitting will win the series for them and will mark the downfall of the great machine play of Chicago. ‘‘Hartsel should be in left field for Philadelphia and should head their batting order, and, if he is in the lineup, I look for him to do wonderful offenswe work on account of his aggres- siveness and, his ability to reach first, in that his size makes him hard to pitch strikes to. | ‘““Baker, Barry, Collins, Thomas and Murphy will be the others who will stand out strong offensively. ‘‘Remember, I am picking these wndividual players on ‘form’ and tt 1s possible that nervous strain may affect their game in such a short and tumultuous series.

| National Teams Have Won Big Majority of World’s Series Games INCE 1903, when the World’s S championship games were continued after being aboale- ished in 1898, the National League and American League winners have engaged in six sets of games. The

I got to thinking of the pos- Louis beating us three sweat ice usual. sibility of St. straight games and fairly water over it. é The next afternoon we were driven to the park for the game that might declare us winnefs right there. Siever was selected to do the twirling for us and Powell pitched for St. Louis. For the first three or four innings we all played as if we were in a trance. We just fielded mechanically and walked up to the plate and then walked back again. We might have lost that game through the way we felt; but, luckily, someone singled and the next man up pounded out a three-bagger and then the fog cleared out of our brains and we cut loore and batted the ball all over the lot.

we had some batting practice, and then we took our positions for flelding prac- tice, Then the “Cubs” took the field. At last the umpires, managers and captains gathered near the home plate and held a consultation as to ground rules and whatever other rules were to be decided. The crowd roared, megaphoned and waved banners expectantly. They knew the battle would be on in a minute now. In a few minutes the knot at the home plate dissolved. One umpire turned to the crowd to announce the batteries. “For Chicago, Overall and Kling!’ he shouted. ‘For Detroit, Donovan and Schmidt!” Schmidt’s Bad Break Gives Cubs Tied Game. HE throng of fans drowned out Ty his voice before he was fairly through. Donovan was our logical man. He had been picked days before to pitch the opening game, as he had been the wonder of the American League all season. The “low-hanging gloom of the day was favorable to his great speed and fast breaking curves. The Cubs tovk their position on the field and Overall walked into the box. It gave us all a thrill of satisfac- tion to see that the crowd had been best. Our biggest handicap in 1907 was our lack of pitchers. Our staff con- sisted of only four available pitchers, Donovan, Killlan, Mullin and Slever. To make matters worse, Killian was out of the game with a sore arm, which cut us down to three. After Donovan failed to win the first game we were in a bad way. It depressed us, ‘not through any fear of the “Cubs,” but because their pitchers were in better condition end more numerous, Chicago Team of 1908 Outclassed Detroit Club. WISH to say right here that our misfortune in world’s series has not lost us the favor of the Detroit fans. They are still loyal supporters of our team. In 1908 we had an Opportunity to re- deem ourselves against the Chicago Na- tionals; but we were Beaten in that series for just one reason. We were outclassed. The Chicago team was so perfect in every department that there was no one man upon whom we could concentrate our attack. I have no ex- cuse to offer. We simply met g ball team that was better than we were, We had hoped New York would win the pennant in the National League, be- cause they were laboring under the same handicap that we were in 1907.

Louisans, We were certainly a happy bunch. The race was over and we had won. Instead of bathing and getting dressed, National Leaguers have won 21 of the 35 games played. In 1908, the Plymouth Rocks of Boston took the world’s highest ae — eS ers, inferior to Chicago’s, but I firmly believe that Philadelphia’s clean hitting -. will win the series for them and will mark the downfall of the great machine r) play of Chicago. Hartsel should be in “‘left field’’ for Philadelphia and should head their bat- Their pitching staff was small, and its two mainstays, Wiltse and RNR were overworked. 2 At - kept away from right field in fear of the left-hand hitters of our team. Schulte in right had plenty of room _ ~~ eI SEER ting order, and, if he is in the line-up, I look for him to do wonderfu! offensive work on account of his aggressiveness and his ability to reach “‘first’’ in that his size makes him hard to pitch strikes to. * Baker, Barry, Collins, Thomas and Murphy will be others who will stand out strong offensively. Remember, I am picking these individual play ers on “‘form” and it is pos- sible that nervous strain may affect their game in such a short and tumultu- ous series. Surprises have been the rule in past world’s series when stats paled under the brilliancy of some ‘‘dark horse.’”’ George Rohe’s Case Shows How Chance Figures In Big Series N 1906, when the Chicago White Sox of the American League fought and de- # | feated the Chicago Nationals, Geerge Rohe was the sensation. Owner 4 Comiskey and Manager Fielder Jones were objects of severe criticism for i usifig him in so crucial a series, inasmuch as he was practically unkhown. | H& timely hitting, however, loomed large in the final result. Frank Isbell Was another player who upset the guesses of the fans. His four two-base hits mn the fifth game of the series virtually put the Chicago National League to rout. Again in 1907, Ressman and O'Leary of the Detroit team excelled, Ross- man upsetting all predictions of supposedly wise “fans.’’ Last year, Jim Dela- hanty of Detroit and Tommy Leach of Pittsburg were merely rated as first- class players in their respective positions. However, throughout that nerve- racking series each played superb offensive and defensive baseball for his respective team. ; While the nervous strain of a world’s series is great, I find that it is mot as racking as the ‘ast grueling days of a close finish for the League pen- nant. The American League, of late, has been: noted for its close finishes, a fact which may have some bearing On our showing in the world’s series. Of the three times Detroit has won the American League championship, I think that the finish of the race in 1907 was the most severe, and the following 3 werld’s series with the Chicago Nationals the most unforgettable. We ieft Detreit on our last Eastern trip late in September. At that time the Philadelphia Athletics were in the lead by a good margin, and the beys figured, as we bowled along toward New York, threugh the dark, that at the pace Philadelphia was going we would have to take 11 games eut of 12 to win that American League pennant. It looked like a mighty big job; but we playing as good baseball as we @Ver did, and we had a fighting chance, though it was a siim one. We opened the Eastern invasion against New York, then Boston, and gained a little on the leaders by cleaning up we!) in both series. Then we went over to Philadelphia for the crucial series. We got in Friday morning and went eut to the park that afternoon determined to “put the first game on ice.” As they were less than @ game ahead of us, winning the first one would put us on top and after that we had all made up our minds we would never let them crowd us back again. The stands and field were full of loyal rters of the home team who were sure that it was going to be on top at the finish as it had been in 1905. Thousands were turned away before the game started. They jeered and cat-called at every slip we made in our field- ing practice; and then roared and shouted approval at every clever stop or fast throw that the Athletics made when they took the field for practice. U phill Fight Checks Mackmen and Gives Detroit a New Start ONOVAN had been pitching great Ball for us during the whole year, “4 and Manager Jennings decided to send him in to stop them. He did. Philadelphia had men on bases in almost every inning—they had 16 men left on bases during the game——; but when they needed a hit to score, Dorio-

delphia manager, sent them as he had Friday, and they kept hammering everything he threw up to the plate. By the time the game was half over they had piled up a big lead on us and we had only scored once off Dygert. We held a consul- tation on the bench between innings and when Donovan went back into the pitcher's “box” he tried a new sys- tem. From then on he was a puzzle to them. Next time we came to bat, we began to bombard Dygert with base hits and Connie Mack, the Phila- “Rube” Wad- dell in to relieve him. Either “Rube” was not having one of his invincible days or else we were in the mood to hit anyone. Anyway, we tied the score before Waddell retired in favor of Plank. Plank checked us and we fought it out with them until the game was called on account of dark- ‘centered on that ness, after. 17 innings. Tle final score was 9 to 9. That .7-inning game was the turning point of the 1907. pennant race. Philadelphia's confidence was shaken and we were buoyed up with new hope and nerve. “Clean Up” at Washington. . Frem Philadelphia we went to ‘| Washington for four games. We made a clean sweep of that series; Wash- ington was “easy” for a team that was keyed up to the point that we were. The goal was in sight and everyone on the team was playing baseball like a wild man. A man would come up to bat with his mind American League Championship and the World's Series to follow, and he would grind his teeth and smash the ball “right on the nose.”” Herman’ Schaefer, who was. playing “second base” for us then, got eight hits in a double- header at Washington. In this con- nection I want to tell the fans who read this article that Herman Schae- fer is one of the greatest players in an emergency that I have ever seen. Throughout his baseball eareer he has shone as one of the coolest cf ball players when under fire. When a hit meant a run and a run meant the game, Schaefer was very apt to deliver the hit. We left Washington for St. Louis where we were to play our last three games of the season. We rode all day on the,train and spent our time figuring out our possibilities. Phila- delphia was playing Cleveland and most of us thought would win. we must take two out of ouf three games with St. Louis keep ahead. The »_boys were all_mak- baseball honors from the Pirates of Pittsburg, five games to three. The following year the Boston club again won the American League pennant, but the Giants of New York, the National League winners, declined to accept the challenge of the Hub team and no series was played. The Giants again won in 1905, and defeated Connie Mack’s Athletics, four games to one. Qne of the big- gest surprises in baseball happened in 1906, when the White Sox of Chicago, the American League win- ners, won four out of the six games played from the Cubs, also of Chi- cago, the National League cham- pions. In 1907 the Cubs won their sec- ond pennant and four successive games from the Tigers of Detroit, the American League champs. In 1908, the Cubs won four out of five

Philadelphia If they did, it meant that ,in order to from the Tigers. Last vear the Pirates of Pittsburg won the cham- pionship and also the world’s series, defeating the Tigers of Detroit in four of the seven games played.

pe | ing bets on the outcome of the Phil- adelphta-Cleveland battle. We figured that at Indianapolis we could get the score, and when the train pulled into the depot, we made a rush for the telephone. I don’t re- member who got there first; but, whoever it was, called up the Indian- apolis News. We all hung around that booth with every nerve on edge. After what seemed a year he opened the door and shouted: “Cleveland, 4; Philadelphia, 3.’’ Figured Browns Easy, With One Game Needed. HEN we went crazy. We ran out T on the. platform and yelled and danced. We grabbed each other’s hats and tore them up. We thumped each other on the back. Back in the car, we put on a 15-minute minstrel show with Schaefer as interlocutor and Donovan and O'Leary as end men. Phil- adelphia’s defeat meant that we only had to take one game out of three at St. Louts. We put up at the Planters Hotel and I went to bed and lay awake again; as

That night we were busy till bedtime figuring out our winnings and talking about the honor of being league champions. Every few minvtes a bellboy would come tearing up with congratulatory telegrams for some of us. Most of us got to bed early to get the rest we had been going .without for a good many nights. It was the first good sleep I had enjoyed in three weeks. Next day Manager Jennings sent sev- eral of the players who had been instru- mental in winning for us, over to the National League Park to see the Chi- cago Nationals play the St. Louis Na- tional Leaguers. We watched their style of play closely and tried to pick out weaknesses on which to concentrate our attack. We learned a few things; for example, what kind of balls to expect Chance, captain of the Chicago club, to hit to center and to right field. Whiie we were spectators, Hofman of the Chi- cago team had the misfortune to be bad- ly injured and while we were sorry he was hurt, we were giad that he would not be able to face us, although as it turned out, it is doubtful if he could have excelled the work of Slagle, who took his place in the series. Tigers Find Chicago Crowd Is Not Hostile. HE time before the opening of the T world’s series was so short that we went direct to Chicago. The single day that we were idle before the series, we spent in visiting with @ifferent ba'll- players who had come to Chicago to see the big event. In the afternoon most of us went to the meeting of the Na- tional Commission, at which all arrange- ments as to players’ per cent of receipts, eligibility, etc., was decided. The opening day of the series was bleak, raw and cloudy. We kept pretty well under cover during the morning as the hotel was jammed with players and “fans.’’ Manager Jennings called us all to a room for a final conference; a meet- ing, in which he laid out the final plan of campaign and different players of- fered valuable suggestions. We went out of that room filled with the courage that has always characterized Jennings, both as a player and a manager, and determined to win the first game. We worked our way through the cheer- ing crowd in the lobby and got into our bus. We had dressed at the hotel and had bundled up tn heavy sweaters. to run away back under the long drives. I won't attempt to describe the game, as that is history; but I will only touch on what impressed me. The Cubs seemed up in the air at first. Tinker and Evers would both cover second on every hit-and-run play. As it happened, this was where the God- dess of Fortune interfered, Four or five times members of our team drove the ball almost directly over’ secona base. These drives would have been safe if Evers and Tinker had been in pesition, while drives through the yawning holes they left would have been safe hits. I don’t believe there will ever be another game in a World’s Series where luck will play so important a part and be so one- sided. Passed Ball Hurts. It went along to the ninth inning and we had them beaten, 4 to 3. There were two men out on the Chicago side and a runner, Steinfeldt, on third base. Howard had been sent in to get a hit in the “pinch.” Don- ovan and Schmidt held a consulta- tion. Then Donovan said: “I'l] give him a low curve ball on the inside.” He wound up and slammed the bal) in with all his mfght. The ball ‘broke’ with a wonderful, fast, curve. Howard swung and missed it a foot. There was a groan as he fanned; then a roar as the ball twisted out of Schmidt's mit and bounded off to one side. How- ard was safe at first and Steinfeldt came home with .the tying run. Dono- van’s pitching during that game was the most marvelous I have ever seen and the fact that Schmidt misjudged the curve must be chalked up as a tribute to Donovan's .wonderful effectiveness rather than to an error on Schmidt's part. The game was called a 4 to 4 tle on account of darkness. Cubs Gain Confidence. That game hélped the “Cubs’” nerve immensely; but we did not realize until after they had beaten us two games that we were golng to come out second

Lowe Spies on ‘Ptrates, Last year we felt sure we would be world’s champions. We felt that Pitts- burg would be far easier for us to beat than the Chicago “‘Cubs.”’ We were well posted as to the in- dividual and team play of the Pitts- burg team, through the keen insight of Robert Lowe, a former member of the Detroit team, whom we sent to watch Pittsburg play as soon as we knew the World’s series of 1909, ‘He saw them in action four or five times and then came home and sub- mitted a typewritten report. This re- port Jennings read to us, paragraph by paragraph, and each suggestion was carefully considered. It was a remarkable analysis. He told us just what kind of pitching we would have to bat against; just what methods Gibson, the Pittsburg catcher, would use behind the bat. He predicted just what kind of ball each one of their batters could hit and in what direc- tion he generally hit it, and went inte infinite detafls as to their offensive and defensive play. We didn’t beat them; but {t was not’ through lack of Information from Lowe. I was firmly convinced at the time that we had a better team than Pittsburg, and many players in the National League tod us that they thought we would win easily. Well we didn’t win; but we did hit, and I don’t think anyone could say wé were “yellow.” For we fought as game a fight as we knew how, and pushed enough runs over to win « couple of games by batting rallies that turned the tide of battle after big scores had been piled up against’ us. | After all, giving reasons for one team's victory and another's defeat is really of little account, because weak pitchers, bad luck and all the rest is all baseball. The uncertainty of the game is its chief attraétion. That's why you like to see it and why we like to play it. So let's hope the best team wins in the World's series of 1910, as-it has Gone In every world’s series that hag been played before.

Says Suit for Pos- session of Trophy Will Be Taken to Highest Court. af In a communication to the Pest-Dis- patch from the Premier Moter Car Co. it is plainly announced that the litiga- tion in regard to the award of the Glid- den trophy has not ended with the ac- tion last week of the New York Su- preme Court. That court refused to make permanent the injunction asked by the entrant of the Premier Car, and in its decision authorized the American Automobile Association to award the Glidden trophy to the Chalmers car. Here is the statement given out by the Premier company as the attitude of Harold O. Smith, who was the entrant of the Premier car: “The statement purporting to have been made by the Chalmers company to the effect that the Supreme Court of awarded the Glidden trophy to the Chalmers Motor Co. and has fully sustained the action of the Contest Board, is wholly without any foundation in fact. The decision of the court in no way determines the proprie- ty of the action of the Contest Board or settles the merits of the controversy. nor does it attempt to do so. The pre- liminary injunction was refused appar- ently upon the theory that the issues might not be finally determined during the year within, which the winnner of the 1910 contest will be entitled to the custody of the trophy, and that t.e A. A. A. is a responsible body subject to the jurisdiction of the court and can be compelled to comply with the terms of any decree entered. “T have instructed my attorneys to set the case down at the earliest poss!- ble date for a hearing on the merits and to proceed without delay to a final determination of the issues involved. Much as I deplore the necessity for this course, I am determined to obtain a decision, if necessary, from a court of last resort as to whether or not the Premier cars driven in the 1910 Glidden Tour, after having complied with all the requirements, can be disqualified in the manner attempted and the _ trophy awarded to a manufacturing corpora- tion not an entrant, in utter disregard, as it seems to me, of the plain provis- ions of the rules. The fight has just begun.”’ — mr mt ee ane - . ATTENTION! For the next 30 days we will sell Federal Guaranteed Casings and Tubes at ttade prices less 10% discount cash with orders.

Sniffler Chased Out of Meeting Enraged Audience Roughly Handles Gagger Who Interrupts Speech. SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 8.—During a public primary meeting here today, a middle-aged man in the audience who was fumbling a rolled-up handkerchief in his hand and per- sistently sniffing and pulling his nose dur- ing the delivery of a speech, was forcibly ejected from the assembly hall. Cries of “Kick him out,’’ and ‘‘Choke the lobster’’ interrupted the proceedings, and finally re- sulted in a grand rush for the nose-puller by some of the enraged hearers. He was grabbed by the coat collar and unceremo- niously and swiftly moved toward the door. When the man first sat down and began loudly tearing out a throat-hawk, the au- dience shifted nervously. ‘After continuing the draw-rattle of his catarrh through one of the most stirring parts of the speech the audience gave vent to its feelings. He was roughly handled on the way out, and sustained several severe bruises. He was taken to the county hospital. It is such oc'urrences as these which make the catarm. victim oné of the de- spised of his race. He can’t help show his disease. If this man had simply spent a ' few moments’ time to send to C. E. Gauss for a package of the wonderful Gauss Catarrh Treatment, he never would have suffered such an indignity as being kicked out of a public meeting. Catarrh Kills Thinking Power Gradual Clouding of the Brain and Loss of Memory Inevitable Result of Catarrh. Oatarrh anywhere in the head or throat or ear is right next to the brain. The catarrh germ grows fast. does an enormous amount of Gamage in its burrowings into bone and flesh. and is difficult to destroy. There are thousands of little nerves that run from all parts of the face and head to the brain. Some of these little nerves have to pass through probably a mass of catarrha!l in- fiammations on the road to the brain. When they do they are weakened, and sometimes destroyed. What affects the nerves is bound to af- fect the brain, and when the nerves are deadened by cormstant catarrhal discharges there is bound to be a certain torpor or stupidity brought about In the brain of the victim. Thus follows sleeplessness, inabil- ity to think clearlv or to connect ideas, loss of memory, lack of concentration, lack of presence of mind and a wandering of thought. If any man or woman imagines that these things do not affect their earning capacity. their cheerfulness and the esteem which their friends have for their brightness, they have little realization of the necessity of keeping the mind always clear. That is all there is to life. ; When it takes such a comparatively short time to cure this terrible diséase by the Gauss common-tense treatment, and regain the flash and brilliancy of the normal brain, there is no good reason why one should not spend the two or three minutes it takes to cut out the coupon below and send it to Cc.

Rasmussen, it is reported, is to be sued for divorce because his wife cannot longer en- dure a catarrhal affliction of which Ras- mussen is said to have been a victim for the last two years. Mrs. Rasmussen. states that no woman with any shadow of self-respect could con- sent to be in constant association even with @ man she loved who was afflicted in the manner she states. She says she regrets the publicity attached to a suit for 4di- vorce, but that it is either that or ‘‘simply lie down and dle of disgust.’’ Plain language is the only thing to use in trying to deal with such an affliction as catarrh. The facts are plain..

Picture to yourself what happens when a catarrh victim comes home from work—the fact of his gentle mate turning away from a foul-breathed kiss. the rack and grug and hurr, and the spit- ting and hawking in handkerchief and cus- pidor every few minutes. Eminent Doctor Says Blindness Due to Catarrh (Asscciated Press Dispatch.) London, Aug. 6.—Dr. H. Manning Fish, of Joliet, Ill.. declared at the medical con- grees that most of the blindness in the world is the result of catarrh In the upper nasal vavities:or the bony cells composing the roof of the nostrils. Dr. Fish described his experience in 86 cities, covering a period of several years. claiming that in each of these immediate improvements of the vision followed the ef- feetive treatment of the diseased nasal cav- ities, and advised that in cases of loss of vision following grip. measles, scarlet fever and kindred ailments, relief be sought through treatment of the noses of the pa- tients. Catarrh is caused by a germ which must be destroyed before the catarrh itself can be cured. If not cured, blindness may re- sult. An extended history of the many extracrdinary cures effected by the Gauss treatment will probably be brought to the attention of the: next international meeting of the medical congress.

Every case of catarrh, of course, is fatal. Nor does every case result in con- sumption or bronchitis, but nevertheless they are very frequent. No man or woman knows what his or her case of catarrh will lead to. Men of robust health have succumbed to resulting consumption and partial idiocy. Women of strone vitality have become nerv- cus wrecks and victims of bronchitis. Your good health is not always a preventive against the catarrh germs. The more you feel sure there is no dan- ger of the catarrh. resulting in a disease most serious, the more danger there is simply because you will neglect yourself. This happens in hundreds of cases and we see it recorded almost daily in the letters we receive. ‘‘If I had only started the cure earlier,’’ is a very frequent expression, show- ing that our warning is not fanciful, but based on fearful reality. Even slight cases of catarrh may result in nose cancer, than which there is hardly a more. pitiful affliction in this world. Catarrh Fatally Frequent. Some of the frequent results of catarrh are bronchitis pneumonia, death and de- cay of bones, loss of thinking and reasoning power, death of ambition and energy, loss of appetite, indigestion. dyspepsia, ulcera- tion, bad breath, raw throat, raw sores in the nose. general debility, and sometimes idiocy and insanity. This is why.in the death list you do not find a mention of fatal catarrh: the death is caused, not directly by the catarrh itself, but by a disease which was caused by ca- tarrh. Medical books and cyclopedias will tell you even more serious news than We tell you here; probably after reading them you will have a full realization of what it is to have catarrh—a common disease, it is true, but with a common result—misery for years, if not death. Cure Is Certain. You can cure that catarrh, slight or se- rious, once and forever, by means of the only common-sense sure cure for catarrh. 7auss’ Combined Treatment.

In the Coils From Childhood I have suffered with catarrh since I was 4 years old, but it has annoyed me more in the last two years. I tried everything I read or heard of, but they did me no good, and I saw your ad- vertisement in a paper and I wrote to you and received a sample package. I was im- pressed so favorably with the sample that I immediately sent for the full treatment.

There is no part of the land which is free from catarrh. Altitudes and latitudes have little effect tn destroying this omni- present germ. Many imagine that the cll- mate of the west. with its high altitude and dry atmosphere, tends to prevent catarrh. There are just as many cases in to the population west as east of the Mis- sissippi, only the disease is not as severe, because of the climatic effect upon the nerves, Even on Pike’s Peak, which is over 14,000 feet above the sea level, catarrh seemed to attack several of the attaches of the signa) station located there some years ago. No place is exempt, no human soul fs immune from catarrh. Don't tmagine be- cause you don’t live by a lake or a river that you can’t have catarrh, or that you have only a chronic cold when your nose has been stopped up for some time. That is usualiy the way catarrh starts—with a bad coid, “Happy Together Once More; Mr. Gauss Has Ouread My Catarrh.” Better spend a few daye destroying the catarrh germ right from the start, than waiting and puttine off until you feel drop- pings tn your throat and your nose pluxged up.

drove Lucerne in decoying young men of wealth into the net spread by the card sharpers. Ramee and Goebel are reported by the police to have been engaged in un- pleasant investigations by the Brothers Schwab of London, who are also mem- bers of the gang. The eldest of the Schwabs is said to have a fine house in the West End of London, where or- gies are enacted in the entertainment of select visitors. Florida’s mission in the game seems to have been te discover and hive the victims. Ramee, it is stated, married in Hun- gary the Brincess Lucie von Toussout, a former favorite of the Khedive of Egypt. The Princess, who was desert- ed by the Marquis in London, claims to be his real wife. Wife Is Penniless. Meanwhile, a late wife of Ramee, whose maiden name was Alice Hecht, having discovered at last that her hus- band is a swindler, has gone penniless to a sanitarium near this city. Her mother, tvho is one of the richest wom- en in Germany, refuses to help her in any way, owing to her fidelity to her rascally husband. Before going to the sanitarium Alice Hecht said, characteristically, ‘‘Yes, I know you think I’m a simpleton, but I’m not so stupid as my liquid eyes make me seem.” The Ramee organization extends, the police say, practically over the whole earth. The detectives are constantly locating members. In this they are be- ing helped by letters addressed to Ramee, which they are seizing: American Is Plundered. The methods of the gang are illustrat- ed by the experience of an American traveling in Honolulu, whe, with his and finally had to sacrifice his auto- mobile to pay his debts. Ramee brought this automobile to Germany and sold it:in Berlin. A Frenchman who lost money -to the ganz in Java cabled to his brother in Cairo for money. He received the fol- lowing reply: ‘“‘Guess you've been done by Ramee’s men; tell them to pay your money back; I’m a member of the gang myself.’’ ‘ The Frenchman applied for the return of his cash. Ramee replied: ‘It is against my principles to return money, but as your brother ifs a friend of mine I will show you how te get your money back.’’ He did. In a few weeks the Frenchman had doubled, by sharping, the sum he had originally lost; and be- came a member of the French section of the gang. ' The real name of the ‘“‘Marquis,” who sometimes calls himself De la Ramee is Bela Kliimm. He is the son of a school teacher in Budapest. The mar- riage with Alice Hecht toek place in London last April. The Hecht family offered him $25,000 to refuse to marry the girl, who was infatuated with him. He demanded $75,000 Because of her efforts to defend ‘her sharper husband Alice has been the herione of Berlin for a month. The swindlers secret was disclosed by a fashionable demi- mondaine whom he had robbed. of $4000 and deserted. :

Tyler was discharged from the workhouse yesterday and hurried out to the hall-room where he had left his precious’ wardrobe. His landlady, Mrs. Mary Smith, was glad to see him. “I've come to get my clothes,” he said. “Why, Mr. Tyter,” “have you forgotten?” “What do you mean?” he asked. “Didn’t you send a nice-looking young man out here with a written order for those two suits?” “No, I didn’t.” “Well, he got them.” Clad in the modest raiment with which he left the workhouse Tyler called at the Four Courts last night and asked the police to look for his affable cellmate. she replied,

BURGLAR TAKE DOT OF $50,000; SET HOME ON FIRE Rich Chicagoan Almost Loses Life Before He Discovers Blaze. Special to the Post-Dispatch, CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—W. E. Muse nar- rowly escaped being burned to death early today after robbers had rifled his Hinsdale homestead of ailver, jewels and rich Oriental rugs and had set fire to the house. Police of Chicago and Hinsdale searched vainly all day for the burglars and the plunder cart- ed from the house in a wagon. The loot was valued at $50,000, and the house was one of the finest in Hinsdale. Muse, who {fs in the credit department of the J. V. Farwell Co., was awakened while the thieves were at work, but was compelled, under threat of death, to remain in his room while the thieves ransacked the house. Valuable furniture and a collection of curios, which Muse hed been collecting for years, were de- st,oyed by. the fire. Muse was alone, his wife being in California and all of the domestics on their vacations. ‘Threatened, He Retired. “About 4 o’clock in the morning,”’ Mr. Muse said, “I heard noises on the first floor, I struck a light and start- ed down the’ ‘stairs. A man’s voice shouted a threat and I put out the light and retreated to my room, where I hastily dressed. I could hear men’s voices while they ransacked the place, but was afraid to leave my room. “Tt must have been fully an hour after I first heard the men at work ‘| when I distinguished the smell of burn- ing wood and smoke. The noises had ceased, so I went down to the second- floor hall. It was filled with heavy, ill-smelling smoke. “I rushed through it and on down- stairs, where I saw the parlor in flames. I seized a wicker hamper or two of sil- verware and rushed into the yard. ‘“‘Do you see any connection between the arrest of five employes of Farrell & Co. for alleged robbery and this loot- ing and burning of your home?’ Muse was asked, “No,” he replied. ‘“I was not con- cerned In the arrests made for the theft of property at the store, except indirect- ly. There may have been some connec- tion, however. “l valued the curios and valuables, which I belleve were destroyed in the fire, at as much as the house was worth, Kerosene in Ba Investigation of the aapuaiont by the police anq fire volunteers who ar- rived too late to save the residence disclosed that a barrel of kerosene- soaked twine had been placed in the barn in the rear of the house, but hag not been lighted. Muse said he thought he had distinguished the smell of kerosene in the house when he discovered the fire. He was in- clined to belleve that the floors, cur- tains and hangings on the first floor of the home had been saturated with oil before the house was set on fire. Muse told the police that he thought there were only two burgikars in the house, as he could distinguish only the voices of two men. They talked while at their work, he said, almost all the time, but he could not tell what _— said.

W.R. NELSON | REVIEWS PO LITIGS FOR THE POST-DISPATCH

A Warm Personal Friend of Taft, an Admirer of Roosevelt, the Proprietor of the Kansas City Star Thinks the President a “Delight- ful Man, BUT—”

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 24.—William Rockhill Nelson, owner and editor of the Kansas City St&r and Times, intimate friend of President Taft and great admirer of Theodore Roosevelt, in an interview reviewing the political situation for the Post-Dispatch, said: Neither the Republican nor Democratic party represents the peo- ple. There ought to be a new national party to represent the pro- gressive elements of all parties. Men like Roosevelt and Gay nor ought to belong to the same party—they stand for the same ideas, I regard Theodore Roosevelt as the greatest political leader of the times. Roosevelt ’s ‘‘square deal’’ is the greatest political platform ever written. I have no disposition to criticise President Taft, but if the Re- publican party had kept its pledge to the people Theodore Roosevelt would now be resting quietly at Sagamore Hill. Roosevelt is not seeking re-election to the presidency—his only ambition is to see his policies prevail. The negt Congres will be Dem ocratic, probably in both branches, ‘giving the Democrats an opportunity to do the wrong thing, for which they have great talent. The Democratic victory will not be the result of public confi- dence in that party, but as a rebuke to the Republican party for breaking faith with the people. Mr. Nelson recently has returned from his summer home at Magnolia Beach, Mass. While he was in the East he had several conferences with President Listen fo Your Stomach Mt Gives Words of Most Serious Warn- ing and Appeals Aloud for Help. When by over-eating and excesses, poor cooking and imperfest mastica- tion, late hours and physical abuse, your stomach is depleted of its strength and lies irritated and sick, then it is that this wonderful machine signals for help and begins to talk. Listen to it. Sometimes it says don’t eat so much, don’t give me such work to do.

~ eee , Straight Talk From the Stomach. The stomach does not talk like you would like it to, but you should listen and you should heed. When foul breath makes people turn away from you, when pains and nau- sea come and go before and after meals, when gases distend your ab- domen and affect your heart, when false appetite and abnormal craving comes to you, when the sight of a meal makes you sick and when many other events of like character happen, your stomach is talking. It is trying to tell you that its peri- staltic or churning muscles are irri- tated and unfit for duty, that alkali is filling the stomach and digesting and eating the membrane within, that the juices are not doing their work and consequently are permitting the food to lie for hours, eventually decaying and passing to the bowels, where such food is absorbed in a poisonous state and taken up by the lymphatic system and the blood. Stuart ’s Dyspepsia Tablets will give to the stoma¢h all it needs. They will ease up the peristaltic muscles, they dilute the alkali juices, enrich them and digest the food when the stomach is unable to do so? Don’t say they cannot help you. Why, these tablets will digest a hearty meal placed in a glass tube, without aid from the stomach. One grain of a single ingredient will digest 3000 grains of food. It is due your stomach to reply to its appeal. Send today for a trial package of these digesters. It will prove these tablets marvels, and the answer will come from your stomach.

‘Taft, and also with Col. Roosevelt. He had another conference with Roosevelt, when the colonel stopped here for a speech during his swing around the Western circle Although Nelson strengly supported Taft with his newspapers, he declared editorially some Weeks ago that Taft, if he were now a candidate for the presi- dency, could not carry a single State west of the Allegheny Mountains. WNel- son is a militant insurgent. But for his warm personal friendship for President Taft, it may be authoritatively stated that Nelson would wage a vigorous fight on the President. “What is your view of the present political situation, Mr. Nelson?” the writer asked. “Before undertaking to answer the question I want to say that I am no prophet,” said the insurgent editor. ‘‘I do not pretend to be able to predict what the future is going to bring forth in pelitics. “Bot,” he continued, “I Gon’t be- lieve that either the Republican or the Democratic party represents the people. There is a strong progres- sive clement in both parties, but as to what is going to result from this unrest or dissatisfaction, I cannot ex- press an opinion, ‘‘Neither the Democratic party nor the Republican party is a national party. The Democratic party is the pro-slavery party. The Republican party is the abolition party. Bpth should have died with the war, and a new national party should have been organized then. Think the Same Way. ‘Whether a third patty will now be organized to represent the progressive elements of existing parties, or whether one or the other of the old parties will in the near future make good with the people, I would not undertake to say. “The progressives in the two parties think the same way. They represent the ideas of the majority of the people. “Men like Roosevelt and Gaynor, Hughes and La Follette are thinking alike. They represent the best senti- ment of the peéople.’’ Here Col. Nelson paused. “TI would like to get in the name of some other Democratic progressive,’’ he said. “I was thinking Hughes was a Democrat.”’ | The editor stroked his white locks and smiled. Are Two of a Kind. ‘Well,’’ he continued, ‘I cannot think of another. The Democratic progres- sives are not conspicuous, but the rank and file of that party is progressive, as evidenced by Roosevelt's ropularity with the Democrats. “Roosevelt and Gaynor ought to belong to the same political organi- zation. They are two of a kind. They have the same ideals and purposes.”’ .."“What do you think of the Taft administration?” _“T have no disposition to criticise Pres- ident Taft. He is my personal friend. Personally I like him very much. He is a delightful man, but’’— | And here the insurgent editor paused again as if to give emphasis to what he was about to say. ‘‘But,"' he repeated, ‘‘Theodore Roose- velt is the greatest political leader of the times.’”’ (The Nelson newspapers loyally sup- ported Taft for President.) “Why do you consider Roosevelt the greatest leader?” ‘Because he represents the people. He understands them better than any lead- er of modern times. : “Roosevelt’s platform is simply the ‘square deal’ for the rich and the poor. He is understood by the people as com- pletely’ as he is misunderstood by the capitalists.”’ The Kansas City editor, might if he wished, classify himself with the capi- talists. He owns, besides his two news- papers, a vast amount of real estate. lie is just completing a million-@ollar office building for his newspapers, ahd Hves in a mansion that is pointed out as one of the show places of Kansas City. He is regarded by the people who know him as @ man who has about twice as much capital as any other man in.

His activities” signify his strength with the people, and demon- strate his courage. 3

he would be resting quietly at Sangamon Hill. . “If the Republican party had carried out the pledges of its platform Roose- velt would not have felt the necessity of taking any part in the fight.’’ “What does Mr. Roosevelt want? Is he seeking re-election to the Presi- dency?’ the presidency. again. He is making his fight for the public good. He has no personal ambitions except to see that his policies prevail.”’ ‘ “What will be the big issues of the “T know that Roosevelt does not want. campaign of 1912?” “Ine ‘square deal.” That {ssue covers it all. It is a complete platform—the greatest ever written by any man. The ‘square deal’ signifies an honest. tariff, honest railway rate regulation, honest fulfillment of promises and honest dis- charges of the duties of the Govern- ment to the people. ‘Roosevelt is entitled to the credit for making this great platform. He gives expression merely to the sentiment that exists. He is not the creator of the sentiment, but he is wise enough to

onks Cloth With Applications of Leather and Gold Braid a Fad in Home Decoration —

ITH the advent of chilly October, the housewife carefully lays away her dainty washable pieces and looks about for something heavier in dra- periag to substitute. The very newest thing this gear is the monks’ cloth with the appli- cation of leather and a little touch of gilded braid. It is not only practical for the winter sa months but ts durable and will not soil easily. This is egpecially appropriate for the H- brary, as it lends to the room a pleasant sug- gestion of comfort and ease. ~ As shown above the soft pillows aré.made of the monks cloth with a very conventional design in leather applied. Little circles are cut out of the leather de-

Po —— ret Shows Garden Party Gowns on Man- nequins in a Garden

AUL POIRET discovered that dresses that were to be worn in the street, it race-courses, at garden parties. or al the seashore should be seen in the open air. It seems obvious enough, but no one had thought of it before. Poiret discovered ar 1 then transformed into a fairy garden one of those old-time courts planted with trees which are still to be found in the aristocratic parts of Parieg at the very heart of the Ville Lu- miere. 3 There scores of mannequins wander, dis- playing to the elerante the latest models con- ceived by the artist. Paul Poiret is a born artist; he does not go to old albums of prints, to folios on historical dress, or to Japan or Arabia for “ideas.” He -works on his models in the sun':cht outside if he thints of an afternoon dress; in the glare of electric lamps if the gown is to be an evening one, and begins to handle with amazing rapidity ell sorts of mateiia's. He only uses materials he “loves”; they must even a particular rustling as they crinkle un- der his fingers. And, above all, he loves eelor, color schemes and harmonious, though daring, effects. Quicsly he unwinds one roll and another. and a third, a fourth throws the mz2- terial over the shoulders of the manneguin, or ‘he lady customer, drapes the bodiee (he rev- els in drapery and draping), then tries the contrast with that drapery and color of another‘shade and possibly another material for the s*irt. He paints a picture on the woman; he transforms her, but all the time thinks of her personality; for as he works he tals, asks questions, makes suggestions and watches their effect, and thus gathers useful knowledge, which he instantiy turns to use— in the scheme of the gown. It is all so rapid that the lady has no time to give her opinion; he Knows, is that not suf- ficient? And the lady inevitably agrees, and later retuins to see more dresses, more uovel ideas, more truly a.ustic garments displayed in the fairy garde.i« sign and under this is laid the gilded braid, which gives it a very petty effect. For the reading table, a long cover of the monks cloth is used and the ivaiher design applied at both ends of the cover. The centerpiece is wsed for the smaller table. There is also a waste basket covered with the same material and: the-applieation oi leather carried out in the same desigu as the other nieces. Portieres of the monks cleth with a border of leather or the portieres of the leather straps alone, finish off the room very effec- tively. MARRIAGE / IN GERMANY IS “A DUTY

there are beautiful new shapes trimmed with wings and ealled very appropriately ‘‘Siegfried”’ and the ‘‘Valkyrie.’’ The ‘‘Siegfried”’ turban is of velvet with a rolling brim and is alniost helmet shaped. At the side there rises an coormous plume or wing set exactly in the way made familiar by the headdress of the Knight of the Wagner operas. The ‘‘Siegfried’’ hat is said to be popular in the eenters of the New Thought and specially recommended for people who lack confidence.

aris Lingerie. From - t. Louisan’s Letter NDER our dresses, which are beaoming more and more fragile and cloudy, we wear lingerie of marvelous lightness, For white or very light dresses lovely Princess petticoats are made. These are quite tight to the knees and finish in a deep flounce encrusted with lace and finely pleated. Tha lingerie combination, which has lately been worn with al) kinds .of dresses, even dark- eolored t:otteurs, is nOW Worn only with white lingerie dresses. The dernier cri is the zauze petticoat to match the dress. The finely pleated flounce is trimmed with clace taffetas of the same color. Princess petticoats of srtin or paillette are also worn to match.the dress. The paillette is the. most bvriiliant, but the Satin is the more durable. These petticoats must be, of course, Very supple, very flat. veiy fine, whatever may be the flounce. The latter they be either accordion-pleated or have the pleats stitched down. The prettiest trimming for a flounce is always the long silk fringe, which makes the materia! hang so well and takes away all the puffiness. Now we may rest content, having got back our eminentty Parisian dessous, which we love so well. Tho ‘fresh and agreeable feeling of lingerie petti- coats under our licht summer drésees is unde- Diable. But in winter, under a tailor-made costume of beavy wool, the sieht of bro@erte Anglaise and jace,“however white it inary ba, bas always a poor and unsuitabld appearap-e, and gives us rather the alr of worthy country - folk in their Sunday best.

Wise Paris milliners, even though they are ready to ac. knowledge the dominance of the tur- ban this fall will extend into the winter, have also addressed their talents to the-creation of models on lower and broader lines. The eagle hat in the upper right hand corner is a daring conception, the out- growth of the fad for whole bird trimming, It might have made a tremendous hit if shown during an August convention in St. Louis. The hats on the left are good examples of fur trimming while that at the bottom on the right is wholly of velvet in one shade with plume to match. That these hats will find favor with dressy women is a foregone con- clusion. Their wide range of adapta- bility, the picturesqueness of the set- ting they offer for faces that are not suitably framed in the current turban effects commend them to the fine taste. of trained milliners. Many will recognize the faces which these hats so gracefully frame as mem- bers of St. sLouls society.

The set- ting of the first was in: Jonannesburg, South Africa, in the present instance the scene is Texas and New Mexico—with, however, ramifi- cations reaching therefrom to Washington. In the chronicles of the soldier of fortune in all lands and of all times there is one more filled with exciting adventure and amazing cir- cumstances than would be the histories >f John Hays Hammond and Gen. Viljoen if all their detaila were written. To so write them would require volumes; to sum up the situation which has now caused the currents of their lives to touch for a second time needs less space, even though it demand the concentration of far- reaching events into small compass. Fifteen years and more ago John Hays Ham- mond was ‘in Johannesburg, attracted there as thousands of others had been by the prospects of a fortune from the mines. He was, even then, highly successful. He suffered, too, like all “UVitlanders,” from the requirements of the Trans- vaal Republic, and was one of the “Reform” party which sought to be relieved of those re- quirements. Thus it came about that when Dr. Jameson made his ill-advised raid from adjoining Brit- tish territory to “the relief of Johannesburg” it was found that John Hays Hammond had been one ofthe committee of five who had asked him to come. It was suspected that Hammond was ~¢ygosemd near in the introduction of arms m on into the Transvaal which . ceded the uprising. . se Hammond with others was arrested on the charge of high treason.

finally were the prime cause of the death sex” ~—=—==m—.- : tence being repealed. In bringing about this repecol Gen. Viljoen, tho had been with the detachment which de- feated and captured the Jameson raiders, had a prominent part. He was an officer of the Trans- vaal Republic previous to and after the Jameson raid, and had much influence, although by no means the internationally famous figure he ‘be- came later. In the Boer councils Viljoen’s voice was one of the first ‘raised in. a demand for clemency for the men sentenced to death. He maintained his stand in season and out until the death sentence was rescinded. He was a member of the Upper haad in the Senate. At that time Viljoen had never met Hammond, so that a feeling that an American citizen should not be as harshly dealt with as an Enelish- man, or, possibly, the thought that it was un- wise to complicate a situation already delicate by the chance of drawing the United Srates into the imbroglio, may have caused him to exert himself particularly .in the interests of the American mining engineer. At any rate his pleas prevailed and Ham- mond was finally released. True, he paid a high price in fines and otherwise for his hoerty, but that price was small compared to tne one he had been sentenced to pay—the foneit of his life. Just how close he came to. death may be judged by the fact that the Boers went so far as to bring into Johannesburg: the crude scaf- fold on which, at an interier point. they had been in the habit of henging political victims. Death was actually in sight of Hammond and his associates when the pleas of the Viljoen crowd prevailed. Fifteen years wént by. The Boer War had been fought to a horioc if unsuccessful close. The eyes of the whole world had been drawn the amazing defense made by the Boers. oen had risen to a generalehip, had been captured, had refused to take tl. oath of al- legiance to England, had ‘been ixiled to ‘St. Helena like another Napoleon, ha. finally been permitted to return to Aftea and gather to- gether his effects beforé leaving, a permanent . -

ew exile, unreconciled, for the United States. Here, after many wanderings and a varied career, he settled some time ago in the Mesilla Valley in New Mexico, along with a number of other Boers. They became farmers and have been wonderfully successful in the operation of their irrigated lands. Gen. Viljoen became a leader there as he had been in Africs. He was appointed postmaster at the town of Chamberino, near which a con- tingent of the Boers live. Later he was made a colonel in the staff of the Governor of New Mexico and in other ways became an active and prominent citizen—for he has been admitted to citizenship and, after many years, is no lénger “a man without a country.” Urged by friends Viljoen became an appli- cant for still higher political honors and aspired for the lucrative post of Collector of Customs at El Paso, a Federal position. Despite his quali- fications there were objections to Viljoen, and these ultimately prevailed. There were many applicants who had long been American citizens and who it seemed more advisable to recognize. During the years that had seen Viljoen’s rise in South Africa, his defeat and exile and his coming to America to win further suecess, John Hays Hammond, whom he had aided to escape a death sentence for treason, had also risen. He had returned to America and become the most successful and highest paid mining engineer in the world. His reputation and hig activities had reached from the sands of tropic Africa to the frozen North and his mining in- terests lay in the United States, Alaska, Mexico, South America—in all the world, !n fact. Incidentally, too, he had entered politics, and was an active aspirant for the vice-presidency with Mr. Taft. So it came about that, in com- pany with President Taft when he went to meet Diaz, Hammond visited El Paso. This was near the close of Gen. Viljoen’s campaign for the collectorship, During that visit Hammond and Gen. Viljoen met for the first time, although each had known of the other for so long and under svth strik- ing circumstances. The meeting is said to have . .

—_ been one of great mutual pleasure, Friends of the two men called Hammond’s attention to Gen. Viljoen’s political ambitions, and his inter- est was at Once aroused. Whether he failed to realize the nearness of the appointment and the necessity of quick action, or whether President Taft had already committed himself beyond recall, does not appear. At any rate, Gen, Viljoen did not get the par- ticular office he was then after. This, in itself, was a disappointment. But friends of the Boer hero at El Paso say ‘that it may - have been a blessing in disguise.. Ac- cording to their version the very fact that he | failed to land the collectorship of El. Paso for his friend and benefactor has aroused Hammond to even a deeper interest in Viljoen’s political ambitions than he otherwise hgd. He has now, those friends assert, the feelmg that he must exert himself to disprove any possible charge that he was inactive in using influence on be- half of the man who had at a vital moment been most active in befriending him.

Sa ews | SNES ay n Gleaves, When Fire Raged in Battleship ‘North Dakota’s Engine Room, Sacrificed Three Men . and Imperiled Many to Save 900---Other Similar Actions Under Stress of Great Danger---Moral and Legal Principles Involved EVEN. great white warships of the North Atlantic Squadron steamed steadily up the Vir- ginia coast, making for Old Point. The day was beautiful, the Ocean as calm as an‘inland lake, its blue depths reflecting the September sun. Aboard the vessels everything was quiet, the men taking life easily after their operations at the Southern drill grounds, from which they were now returning. Nothing could be less suggestive of danger and death than the atmosphere of these death-deal- ing monsters of the deep. On board the North Dakota—the “Dreadnaught” of the American navy and one of the largest warships afloat, built recently at a cost of $11,- 900,000—Capt. Gleaves, in command, set at a table in his quarters rerding and signing official pa- pes. Elsewhere a few officers and ren were on duty, but for the most part the crew of 900 were lounging about or asleep in their bunks. Suddenly, from up forward, men on the other vessels saw smoke rise over one point of the North Dakota. At first it might have been mistaken as coming from the engines, but a sec- ond glance showed it was not. A ripple.of excitement ran along the line, signal flags unfurled and orders and inquiries traveled from ship to ship. Officers and men, aroused from their rest or disturbed at their play, hurried to their posts or crowded to the rails and port holes. The smoke over the great bat- tleship increased and began to form a pall, black and dense, Like a wire- less message the news traveled along the Mne that the North Dakota was on fire. 4From the flagship a series of sig- najs were exchanged with the North Dakota, then the latter changed her course slichtly and put out of the line. Another vessel, on orders from the Admiral, stood by to‘render as- Sistance, and the other five steamed on towards port. Slowly the North Dakota and the New Hampshire, which had been ordered to -her as- sistance, faded from view behind the ocean horizon, the last glimpse show- ing the smoke pall denser and black- er than ever. This occurred Sept. £, 1910, Over the whole land bulletins be- gau to spread through the news agencies and from special correspond- ents at Norfolk, Fort Monroe, Wash- ington and other points. The first re- ports were that an explosion had oc- curred aboard the great new battle. | hip, thet seven men had been killed ae and 100 hurt, and that the vessel, fill- tng with water, was rapidly sinking. 4p glaring headlines and black type this appeared from Maine to Cali- fornia, even before the five ships which had left the North Dakota and the New Hampshire at sea could make the short run to Hampton Roads. A nation held its breath and awaited further news. What would the result be? What would the next extra tell? In St. Louis and the West the de- tails were awaited with peculiar in- terest. Within the last few years the navy has been drawing heavily on this section for its recruits. If the North Dakota were lost many homes in St. Louis would have mourned, while of the 900 aboard perhaps 400 came from.the Mississippi Valley. Our boys at sea have a tender place in the hearts of the folks at home. Were the 900 on the North Dakota doomed? It seemed so—and we wait- ed for news. How minor the®asual- ties actually were as compared to what was fearéd—three killed and 10 hurt—we all know now; but through- out the land there are thousands of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sweethearts, who will not forget the strain of the suspense before that in- formation came. And yet, aboard the North Dakota was one officer who suffered a great- er strain than any of these, for on him devolved a most stupendous re- sponsibility. This was the man who sat at his table reading and signing official papers, Capt. Gleaves. It is enough to face death one’s self. Yet there were 900 on the North Dakota who shared this danger with Capt. Gleaves. the responsibility for others on one’s hands. Yet there were numerous officers aboard the North Dakota who, in one degree and another, shared this responsibility with Capt. Gleaves. But there was one situation more terr‘ble than either of these which Capt. Gleaves had to face alone: one decision for him to make, the re- sponsibility for which must lie with him alone forever. There was no time to consult with other officers, no time to delay—not even time to weigh matters in his own mind ex- cést_ in a flash. , ' @kpt. Gleaves was called upon in- Stantly to sentence three men to death, and in the time a watch might tick twice or thrice he had given the = which resulted in their execu- on, A half hour, a few minutes, posst- bly not ten seconds previously such a contingency could not have entered the officer's mind. He sat at his table absorbed in his work, the en- gines beat steadily below him. the men lounged about from place to It is fearful to have’ place, and those who were so soon to meet their death under the instruc- tions of the officer above them worked monotonously in fire room No. 3 These men were coa) passers— Joseph Schmidt, Robert Gilmore and Joseph S§Streit—busy about their duties. Possibly they talked of home and wondered among themselves when they would be there. Possibly Streit, who lived in Michigan, was telling his companions of the great West, for the others were from the East—Gilmore from Newport, R. I., and Schmidt from New York City. Whatever they discussed—and just what it was will never be known—it scarcely could have been of the near- ness of death, for the fire started al- most instantaneously fro:1 fuel oil which was. being tested. the Above fire room No. 3 was a great powder magazine. In it was such a vast quantity of powerful explosives that, once the fire reached the magazine, the whole ship would be blown from the face of the waters—and along with it the 900 men who made up its complement. One can imagine the scene in Capt. Gleaves’ quarters. This moment he sat writing, the next an officer may have saluted and said: “Sir, I have to report ‘a fire in the fuel oil in fire room: No. 3.” “Is it gaining headway?” Gleaves may have asxed. “Tt is and has almost reached tte powder magazine,” the reply might logically have been. “Are there any men in No. 3?" is next question circumstances Capt.

N determining whether or not an action is criminal the mat- ter of intent is of primary importance. good there is, other things being equal, no crime; if bad, then the action is more than likely to be criminal. Certainly Capt. Gleaves’ intentions in flooding the engine’ room and hold of the North Dakota after the recent accident cannot be questioned. He was taking’the quickest and surest method of saving his ship and thus protecting the lives of the hundreds of men intrusted to his care. The case is a little analogous to the one cited by Black- stone of two men floating on a plank at sea. sustain both, so one pushed the other off and he drowned. The conclusion is that the man who pushed the other off was Again, there is the instance of a man and his wife thrown in the sea from a wrecked vessel. server which was barely capable of sustaining her weight. Her husband swam at her side, clinging to a small piece of wreck- age. Another man swam toward the woman and attempted to grasp her to sustain himself. The husband warned him away, and pushed him away several times, but to no avail, and ulti- mately the husband struck him and killed him. blameless, for he was taking the only available method of sav- ing the life of the woman under his protection. Whether or not the fire on the North Dakota might have been checked in some other manner or might have burned it- self out without reaching the powder magazine has no _ bear- ing on the situation if the danger Gleaves was forced to act instantly, and his duty was to do that which would save the great majority.

Gleaves. “Three—Schinidt, Streit—coal ‘passers,’ been the answer. And, whether those questions were asked and answered or not—and they are not of record, but suggested only to show the tenseness of the sitna- tion and the necessity for immediate action in that they describe exactly what was taking place in the engine room , below—whether they were asked and answered or not, it ‘was in such a brief space of time that Capt.

Thousands of tons of water were admittec to the hold, and the threes coal passers met death from drown- ing in the air-tight compartment, sac- rificed that their fellows inizht be saved. More than that, only after the order had been carried out was it known that only three lives were Several men other than the three who were drowned were saved only by the heroic efforts of their companions among the crew. Possibly, when the report of the fire was brought him, Capt. Gleaves left his quarters and went forward to see for himself what the situation was. Possibly it was from the van- tage point thus gained that he reached the decision which made the death of the three men in the engine room necessary. Wherever and however the order to close the compartments and flood the engine room was given, Capt. Gleaves will never be condemned, either. by a naval board of inquiry or by the pub- lic, for his action. Rather will his immediate decision be regarded as an evidence of executive ability of a high order. Fo it is no little thing to have such a responsibility thrown on one and to rise to it as Capt.

Times without number it has been done, but seldom in s0 spectac- ular a manner as when the flames threatened the powder magazine of the North Dakota. Napoleon faced the same question during his Egyptian campaign, the manner in which he is alleged by historians to have answered it was appalling, although Bonaparte defended it even when, at St. Helena, he had time to think it over under conditions which would have brought regrets and remorse if regrets and remorse were due. Napoleon, too, gave his answer to that question—whether any man has the right to take the lives of others in order that still others may live— after he had thought it over delib- erately for days. It was the charge that he ordered his surgeons to poison hundreds of his wounded at Jaffa that shook Europe after the campaign. Although Napoleon entered a denial then, he afterwards confessed it indirectly when he defended such action. It was essential that the wounded be done away with, he said, both for their own sakes and for the sake of the others of the command. Had the wounded been carried with the army they would have died and the others would have been destroyed, he claimed. The command was with- drawing from Jaffa to form a new base of operations and the hundreds of wounded were delaying it to the point of defeat. Then came the question: “Shall these wounded men be sacrificed or shall they be permitted to live and cause the grave chance of the whole command being wiped out?” Probably no other man in the world’s history would have answered the question as Napoleon !s said to have done—by ordering the surgeons to administer poison. Nearly any other commander would have arBued that there was hope while there was life, and would have attempted to carry the wounded with him. And perhaps any other commander would, in the end, have sacrificed thousands of lives, where only hundreds were lost in disposing of the wounded. Nor is Napoleon the only military leader who has been sqousee o? sac- rificing lives to save others, although no other is charged with the use of pofton. Our own Gen.

In his defense of there maneuvers Grant has said that while he knew he could not dislodge Lee, yet he could afford to lose men while Lee could not. In other words, it was like a game of “give-away” at checa- ers, when, outnumbering your op- pone"t, you traae two men in oruer W to capture one and thus finally end the game by clearing the board of your opponent’s men, while you still have a reserve of your own. Grant claimed that his methods, although he sacrificed many lives knowing that no immediate results would follow, ended the war years sooner than it would otherwise have closed, and thus he, too, saved many by the sacrifice of a comparative few. In mines and factories and on dan- gerous engineering projects men fre- quently face the same awful ques- tion. William Gordon Bennett, who wrecked the St. Louls World’s Fair, tells of an instance of this sort when he was working on the Hudson tun- nel. Water rushed into a compart- ment where several meh were driy- ing the tunnel under the: river bed. They jumped back into the next air- tight compartment, the door to which was arranged to close automatically against the flood in such an emer- gency. But one of their number—a giant Swede—was a moment too late and the door closed on his body. He could neither move forward nor back, and his life was certainly lost, but what was worse, his body kept the door from closing and permitted the water to enter. This meant death to all the workers crowded in the com- partment. Without a moment's hesitation the foreman of the workers answered the question of whether he had the right to sacrifice one life to save others He seized an ax and chopped the sti.? living Swede’s body to pieces, shov- ing pert of it out and pulling the rest in. The gate closed, the waters were

shut out and the rest of the men saved. In the navy and the army, even more than in civil life, there is a clear mark of distinction between sacrificing men’s lives to sdéve otherg and sending them to certain death in the furtherance of a plan of came paign. This is illustrated by the sinking of the Meramec in Santiazo harbor during the “vanish-American ar. Sampson did not send Hobson and his men on that perilous trip, nor could he have forced them to go. Hobson proposed the venture and Sampson approved it, but the men who went along and risked theif lives were volunteers, as in effect, Hobson was, although he was the leader, Hundreds volunteered for the voy- age to what looked like certain déath.

The day was beautiful, the Ocean as calm as an‘inland lake, its blue depths reflecting the September eun. Aboard the vessels everything was quiet, the men taking life easily after their operations at the Southern drill grounds, from which they were now returning. Nothing could be less Suggestive of danger and death than the atmosphere of these death-deal- ing monsters of the deep. On board the North Dakota—the “Dreadnaught” of the American navy and one of the largest warships afloat, built recently at a cost of $11,- 900,000—Capt. Gleaves, in command, set at a table in his quarters reeding and signing official pa- pes. Elsewhere a few officers and ren were on duty, but for the most part the crew of 900 were lounging about or asleep in their bunks. Suddenly, from up forward, men on the other vessels saw smoke rise over one point of the North Dakota. At first it might have been mistaken as coming from the engines, but a sec- ond glance showed it was not. A ripple.of excitement ran along the line, signa] flags unfurled and orders and inquiries traveled from ship to ship. Officers and men, aroused from their rest or disturbed at their play, hurried to their posts or crowded to the rails and port holes, The smoke over the great bat- tleship increased and began to form a pall, black and dense, Like a wire- less message the news traveled along the Mne that the North Dakota was on fire. 4F'rom the flagship a series of sig- najs were exchanged with the North Dakota, then the latter changed her course slichtly and put out of the line. Another vessel, on orders from the Admiral, stood by to‘render as- sistance, and the other five steamed on towards port. Slowly the North Dakota and the New Hampshire, which had been ordered to -her as- sistance, faded from view behind the ocean horizon, the last glimpse show- ing the smoke pall denser and black- er than ever. This occurred Sept. $, 1910, ' Over the whole land bulletins be- Gan to spread through the news agencies and from special correspond- ents at Norfolk, Fort Monroe, Wash- ington and other points. The first re- ports were that an explosion had oc- curred aboard the great new battle. 8 § that seven men had been killed and 100 burt, and that the vessel, fill- “ with water, was rapidly sinking. da Slaring headlines and black type GaSe . this appeared from Maine to Cali- fornia, even before the five ships which had left the North Dakota and the New Hampshire at sea could make the short run to Hampton Roads. A nation held its breath and awaited further news. What would the result be? What would the next extra tell? In St. Louis and the West the de- tails were awaited with peculiar in- terest. Within the last few years the navy has been drawing heavily on this section for its recruits. If the North Dakota were lost many homes in St. Louis weuld have mourned, while of the 900 aboard perhaps 400 came from.the Mississippi Valley. Our boys at sea have a tender place in the hearts of the folks at home. Were the 900 on the North Dakota doomed? It seemed so—and we wait- ed for news. How minor the®asual- ties actually were as compared to what was feared—three killed and 10 hurt—we all know now; but through- out the land there are thousands of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sweethearts, who will not forget the strain of the suspense before that in- formation came. And yet, aboard the North Dakota was one officer who suffered a great- er strain than any of these, for on him devolved a most stupendous re- sponsibility. This was the man who sat at his table reading and signing official papers, Capt. Gleaves. It is enough to face death one’s self. Yet there were 900 on the North Dakota who shared this danger with Capt. Gleaves. the responsibility for others on one’s hands. Yet there were numerous officers aboard the North Dakota who, in one degree and another, shared this responsibility with Capt. Gleaves. But there was one situation more terr’ble than either of these which Capt, Gleaves had to face alone: one decision for him to make, the re- sponsibility for which must lie with him alone forever. There was no time to consult with other officers, no time to delay—not even time to weigh matters in his own mind ex- cept in a flash. ‘ Skpt. Gleaves was called upon in- Stantly to sentence three men to death, and in the time a watch might tick twice or thrice he had given the — which resulted in their execu- on. A half hour, a few minutes, possi- bly not ten seconds previously such a contingency could not have entered the officer's mind.

Possibly they talked of home and wondered among themselves when they would be there. Possibly Streit, who lived in Michigan, was telling his companions of the great West, for the others were from the East—Gilmore from Newport, R. L., and Schmidt from New York City. Whatever they discussed—and just what it was will never be known—it scarcely could have been of the near- ness of death, for the fire started al- most instantaneously fro:1 fuel oil which was. being tested. Above fire room No. 3 was a great powder magazine, In it was such a vast quantity of powerful explosives that, once the fire reached the magazine, the whole ship would be blown from the face of the waters—and along with it the 900 men who made up its complement. One can imagine the scene in Capt. Gleaves’ quarters. This moment he sat writing, the next an officer may have saluted and said: “Sir, I have to report ’a fire in the fuel oil in fire room No. 3.” “Is it gaining headway?” Gleaves may have asked. “It is and has almost reached te powder magazine,” the reply might logically have been. “Are there any men in No. 3?" is the next question circumstances Capt.

N determining whether or not an action is criminal the mat- ter of intent is of primary importance. good there is, other things being equal, no crime; if bad, then the action is more than likely to be criminal. Certainly Capt. Gleaves’ intentions in flooding the engine’ — room and hold of the North Dakota after the recent accident cannot be questioned. He was taking*the quickest and surest method of saving his ship and thus protecting the lives of the hundreds of men intrusted to his care. The case is a little analogous to the one cited by Black- stone of two men floating on a plank at sea. sustain both, so one pushed the other off and he drowned. The conclusion is that the man who pushed the other off was Again, there is the instance of a man and his wife thrown in the sea from a wrecked vessel. server which was barely capable of sustaining her weight. Her husband swam at her side, clinging to a small piece of wreck- age. Another man swam toward the woman and attempted to grasp her to sustain himself. The husband warned him away, and pushed him away several times, but to no avail, and ulti- mately the husband struck him and killed him. blameless. for he was taking the only available method of sav- ing the life of the woman under his protection. Whether or not the fire on the North Dakota might have been checked in some other manner or might have burned it- self out without reaching the powder magazine has no _bear- ing on the situation if the danger Gleaves was forced to act instantly, and his duty was to do that which would save the great majority.

And, whether those questions were asked and answered or not—and they are not of record, but suggested only to show the tenseness of the sitna- tion and the necessity for immediate action in that they describe exactly what was taking place in the engine room , below—whether they were asked and answered or not, it ‘was in such a brief space of t!me that Capt.

More than that, only after the order had been carried out was it known that only three lives were forfeited. Several men other than the three who were drowned were saved only by the heroic efforts of their companions among the crew. Possibly, when the report of the fire was brought him, Capt. Gleaves left his quarters and went forward to see for himself what the situation was. Possibly it was from the van- tage point thus gained that he reached the decision which made the death of the three men in the engine room necessary. Wherever and however the order to close the compartments and flood the engine room was given, Capt. Gleaves will never be condemned, either. by a naval board of inquiry or by the pub- lic, for his action. Rather will his tmmediate decision be regarded as an evidence of executive abflity of a high order. Fo” it is no little thing to have such a responsibility thrown on one and to rise to it as Capt.

In his defense of there maneuvers Grant has said that while he knew he could not dislodge Lee, yet he could afford to lose men while Lee could not. In other words, it was like a game of “give-away” at checa- ers, when, outnumbering your op- pone™t, you traae two men in oruer to capture one and thus finally end the game by clearing the board of your opponent’s men, while you still have a reserve of your own. Grant claimed that his methods, although he sacrificed many lives knowing that no immediate results would follow, ended the war years sooner than it would otherwise have closed, and thus he, too, saved many by the sacrifice of a comparative few. In mines and factories and on dan- gerous engineering projects men fre- quently face the same awful ques- tion. William Gordon Bennett, who wrecked the St. Louls World’s Fair, tells of an instance of this sort when he was working on the Hudson tun- nel. Water rushed into a compart- ment where several meh were driy- ing the tunnel under the river bed. They jumped back into the next air- tight compartment, the door to which was arranged to close automatically against the flood in such an emer- gency. But one of their number—a giant Swede—was a moment too late and the door closed on his body. He could neither move forward nor back, and his life was certainly lost, but what was worse, hig body kept the door from closing and permitted the water to enter. This meant death to all the workers crowded in the com- partment. Without a moment's hesitation the foreman of the workers angwered the question of whether he had the right to sacrifice one life to save others He seized an ax and the sti? living Swede’s body to pieces, shov- ing pert of it out and pulling the rest in. The gate closed, the waters were

shut out and the rest of the men saved. In the navy and the army, even more than in civil life, there is a clear mark of distinction between sacrificing men’s lives to sdéve otherg and sending them to certain death in the furtherance of a plan of came paign. This is illustrated by the sinking of the Meramec in Santiazo — during the Svanish-American ar. Sampson did not send Hobson and hie men on that perilous trip, nor could he have forced them to go. Hobson proposed the venture and Sampson approved it, but the men who went along and risked theif lives were volunteers, as in Hobson was, although he was the leader, Hundreds volunteered for the voy- age to what looked like certain déath.

STLC SCIENCE LIBERAL

“Movable Cooking School” Sent Out by State Agricul- tural College---Wives of Bank- ers, Merchants, Farmers, Mechanics, and. Laborers “Study” Side by Side OV. STUBBS of Kansas, In a (3 speech to the students of the manual training school at Pittsburg, Kan., last spring, said that he believed that most of the divorce cases brought in Kansas were caused by poor housekeeping and food pre- pared in careless or unappetizing ways. He urged every girl in the State to attend domestic science schools and leain how to prepare foods in the most appetizing manner, well cooked and served iu a way to mase the most chronic dyspeptic forget his troubles and remove his grouch. Numerous wise physicians have mide speeches in which they as- serted that a great deal of sickness could vevét occur if the food had been properly prepared. It is assert- ed that persons whose food is poorly prepared are more liable to contract diseases than those who have coarser foods properly prepared. } Gov. Stubbs in his speech urged that the girls who expected to be brides should study much in the science of home economy, as he knew of many cases where husbands and wives became estranged because of alleged useless expenditures about the home. The Kansas Agricultural College and many other schools in the State have domestic science departments. The high schools in al) the first-class cities have these schools and in many of them the domestic science depart- ment for graduation. In several city schools one yéar’s domestic science work is required even if the girls do not expect ever to do any cooking themselves. The school authorities believe that the domestic science work is of equal, if not greater, im- portance than so much Greek and Latin and the higher mathematiccs. The State of Kansas has just com- pleted one of the largest and ‘finest buildings at the Agricultural School and has turned it over to the domes. tic science department. There are 800 girls enrolled in the college every year, and last winter almost seven hundred of those enrolled took parts at least of the domestic science work. Last winter there were 328 girls known to be engaged who were tak- ing the complete courses in home- making. ‘ The chief idea at the agricultural school is to make of its students real home-makers, not just cooks and seamstresses. Every feature of the home is taken up and made a part of the school work, from dusting a chair to preparing the home for a big ban- quet or party. Painting, papering.. fur- niture repairing, rudimentary plumb- ing, house cleaning, cooking, mating and mending clothes, buying food supplies and clothing and everything else incidental to the home. But there are only 800 girls attend- ing the big school and the population of the State is close to two million people. It is seen that the school benefits only a small part of the peo- ple of the State. Some time ago the college authori- ties hit upon the plan of sending its farm school to the homes of the farm- ers. So much good was accomplished and so much improvement made in farm methods in many sections that it was decided to see if the women of the State were interested in better housekeeping, and if they were inter- ested to try the movable schools of the domestic science department.

a . | | Aid in N DISCUSSING the modern crim- J inal’s chance of escape, an En- glish detective inspector says, it would be easy to ma*e too much of the fact that “Dr.” H. H. Crippen very nearly got clear away, and in the end was caught not by Scotland Yard, but by the clumsiness of the disguises of himself and Miss Leneve, the acu- men of Capt. Kendall and the re- sources of wireless telegraphy. Crippen’s case was peculiar. He had warning from the police that he Was suspected, and yet he was given time to leave the country before the usual] detective machinery was set in motion. Still, the number of crim- finale who have escaped is pretty serious. Among the factors that favor the modern criminal who is not caught redhanded, there is the great in- crease in population. It is easy for @ man to be swallowed up in the mil- lions of London or the hundred thousands of other great cities. Then the fact taat modern men dress so much alike is in the crim- nal’s favor.. e In olden days there was great va- riety in uress; each class wore a dis- tinctive garb. A criminal, of course, might change his clothes, but if ue donned those of a class above or be- low bim, he was pretty sure to at- tract attention, because he would not wear them naturally. But, nowadays, millions and mil- lions of men dress alike. To hunt for a man who was last seen wearing a blue serge or tweed su!t and a bowl- er hat is at first sicht rather like loo ing for a needle in a hayrtack. Women are more distinctive in their dress, but etill there are thousanus and thonsands who. are content with @ bleuse, plain coat and skirt, and a straw or other hat that calis ior no particular notice. On the other band, the power of the press Re against the fuitive criminal. T majority of people will not stop to read the dercription of a “wanted” man poetefl cufside a police station, but they do iced and remember it when they see it in their favorite newspaper; und practically everyone Defeating the Law reads the papers nowadays. Of course, much depends on the man and the crime. A stupid, ill- educated man, with little or no money, who commits, say, an un- premeditated murder which is quickly discovered, has a very small chance of escape. Every loophole is soon closed by telegraph and _ telephone, and an almost impenetrable net is drawn round him. On the other hand, in the case of a gang of swell thieves, plentifully supplied with money, modern inven- tions mostly favor them. They can use the telegraph and the telephone to warn each other, and, above all, they have reason to be grateful for the development of the motor car. The motor ¢ar is the sweil criminal’s best friend. Before it came he had to rély for escape chief- ly on trains, and once in a train he was very liable to be caught. Take the case of a country robbery in pre-motor days. The thieves had, as a rule, to make for the nearest failway station, probably a small one, where the arrival of strangers, espe- cially at an unusual hour, would be something of an event. A’ shrewd guess could be made at their line of ‘retreat; they had to take tickets, and even if they changed their route or doubled on their tracks, they were in one way or another leaving a plain trail behind them. If the telegraph were set in motion before they had time to leave the train, they were pretty certain to be caught. Today the swell gang, having carefully re- connoitered the ground and laid their pians, arrive unobtrusively on the scene in a motor car, which they aide in a lane or other convenient spot. Having successfully “cracked the crib,” they are off—where? That js the baffling problem the pdlice have to face. If the thieves get only 10 minutes’ start, the advantage is all with them. The people of the house or the police may follow in other motor cars, but it Is something of a wild-goose chase owing to the great difficulty of fore- casting with any certainty the route taken by the robbers. Of course, before the motor car, tae bicycle was a great help to the crim- inal. But a bicyclist really attracts more notice, and leaves a plainer trail,.than the motorist. disguise himself with goggles and a big coat; he must pull up pretty fre- quently for rest and refreshment, and he travels much slower than a motor car. Moreover, he cannot carry heavy booty in the way of plate, or, any- way, he cannot carry it without ex- citing attention. So far as carefully-planned rob- beries are concerned, the motor car greatly favors the criminal’s chance of getting clear away. , It also favors the man who is at- tempting to leave the country. He can quickly and unobtrusively make his way to some small port, and get across the ocean in some vessel not fitted for wireless telegraphy. Wireless telegraphy is obviously against the escaping criminal. Crip- pen and Miss Leneve would proba- bly have been caught without it, for their disguise was by no means im- penetrable. Still, it made their cap- ture a certainty. The development of flying will probably favor the well-to-do crim- inal, for, like the motor car, the aero- plane is not tied to particular routes. Indeed, it is even freer in this re- spect than the motor, which must keep to roads, whereas the aeroplane makes no trac¥s in the air. At present, however, the aeroplane is. too much Of a novelty to be safely used as a means of escape. So far as the sudden criminal is concerned— that is, the man who for the first time commits some dreadful crime, and whose one instinct is to flee—his chanres of escape have gréatly de- creased. “ It 's practically impossible for him to find a hiding place where at least his crime, if not bis description, is not known within a few hours of its discovery. Moreover, the operation of the extradition laws has been greatly extended, and it is difficult for him anywhere to find sanctuary—at least in the case of murder. He cannot.

being established and read the dis- cussions of cooking problems from scientific standpoints, have a longing to study the subjects themselves. But home ties make this impossible. Were the women of Kansas inter- ested in having the domestic science school of the Agricultural College brought right to their own doors at a very small expense? If they were interested the State was willing to pay the bills of sending the schools around the State. Last spring the college made the announcement of its plan. The first mail after the announcement was published in the newspapers the col- lege received a dozen requests for the movable cooking school. Within a week engagements for two months had been arranged for. During the summer additional schools were arranged for. Last week half a dozen complete schools were started on the road for six weeks. About March 1 the schools will start out again and will work for three months. The State pays the expenses of the assistant instructors and an advance student of the domestic science de- partment. These make up the facylty of the movable school. If some: of the women of a club or church in any Kansas city desire a school they name a committee to make arrangements to have the in- structors visit them. When the date is selected the committee furnishes the room, stoves and supplies for the schools. The State requires that the room, one large kitchen range, one table and one two-burner gas or gasoline stove for each student and all the supplies to be furnished for the work. The ordinary plan is for each woman or girl who will attend the school to pay $1 as a membership or tuition fee. They may be assessed 50 cents additional. ! The State does not receive or even handle any of this Nighey. as all of it is handled by the Ncal committee and is used in paying the rentals on the hall, tables, stoves and in pay- ing the gas or gasoline bills, for meats, flour, vegetables, spices and other things used in cooking in an ordinary kitchen. It is also necessary to provide a sewing machine for each student, together with the necessary equipment, and each student pro- vides her own sewing materials. The grocery, hardware, dry goods and furniture stores usually furnish the supplies at cost, and in the larger towns the schools use the kitchens or large lecture rooms in the churches. No girl under 15 vears of age can at- tend these schools, but there is no age limit except this. The scheaql remains in each town ene week. The school work begins Monday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock and ends at noon the following Saturday. Each morning is devoted to cooking and each afternoon is devoted to sew- ing.

This they are enabled to do and they receive special instruction in the work they are particularly interested in. How- ever, there are very few of those who wish to take up some special work, and most of those who attend the schools take the full work. Since the movable schools were started in March the total attendance has been a little over four hundred. The number who attend the schools is limited by the number of stoves and the size of the room. At some points the cullege combines two or three schools into one where there is a large town and a large enrollment. The experience. of the department has been that the attendance is al- most evenly divided between house- wives who want to improve their cooking and sewing, and girls who know little or nothing of cooking. Many women do not attend the cook- ing schools but do attend the sewing schools, and others may have had cooking instruction but do not know how to darn a stocking and these attend the sewing lessons only. At one cooking school a woman of 65 years attended the school for cooks. Her daughter had taken the domestic science work 10 years ago and the mother had always wanted to take some scientific cooking work. She was one of the best cooks in her home town. At the end of the week she con- fided to the inst:uctor that she had ‘learned a lot” and announced that she would be the first to enroH when- ever the cooking school came that way again.

The girls who attend the full do- mestic science course at the college get much practical work. The college has a large dining room for the use of the instructors. The domestic science girls prepare the meals for the dining room. Tinney are divided into squads of four. One is the manager and chief cook for a week. One is the assistant cook, an- other washes the dishes and the fourth is the waitress. The manager does all the buying for the week. She is’ required to make her purchases so that no meal will cost more than 20 cents for each person. This gives her practice in buying and in preparing inexpensive meals. oe The instructors supervise the buy- ing and the preparing of the meals, During the afternoon the girls are instructed in sewing, repairing cloth- ing, cerpets. curtains and other house furnishings, and in actual light re- pair and cleaning work of the plumb- ing of a house. The movable schools are most dem- ocratic institutions. The wives and daughters of bankers, merchants and professional men work ‘side by side with the wives and daughters of farmers, mechanics and other labor- ers, and all take part in the discus- sions and in helping each other “gre eut problems of home-making. e of the most delightful features of the movable school work thus far has

there is a round table where tue in- Structors answer and demonstrate any questions the women of the city, not limited to those taking the work, desire to submit to the instructors. One morning is devoted to prepar- ing various vegetables in different ways. The students are told what to do to make a certain dish and then they go to work and prepare the dish. The instructor visits each student and sees that she is following dtrec- tions. The next morning may be devoted to preparing meats, roasting, broil- ing, frying, boiling, stewing with and without dressing and gravies. The third morning may be devoted to pre- paring eggs in some of the thousand different ways, and the next morning to baking cakes, bread and biscuit. The next morning may be ta‘en up with lessons in preserving f:uits and vegetables and making jellies. The sixth morning may be taken up with disposing of left-overs and in making desserts. This program is varied and changed according to the wishes of the class. Some weeks the entire time is often devoted: to different ways of prepar- ing meats and vegetables and some- times two days are devoted enttrely to desserts or ta ma’irg ca’es, The afternoons are devoted to sew- ing. One afternoon is given over en- tirely to mending and patching dif- ferent articles of clothing, laces and fancy work. Another afternoon may be taken up with ma”ing patterns and in cut- ting out goods so as to prevent waste - : fe 4 and to get the best effects from the goods and trimmings. Another aay is taken up with different styles of sewing. One afternoon is devoted to trim- ming and making over hats, and an- other is occupied with instruction in the different styles of embroidery, crocheting, lace making, tatting and other forms of fancy work. Personal instruction is given every member of the class. Some per- gons want to devote most of their attention to some specialty, like pre- paring vegetables or baking cakes or engagery ate fr any town until ail ‘he cities wheres the schools have been asked for have had sessions, gn account of the great demand from every county-seat town and from manv of the smaller towns of the State.

Every public school has had more or less trouble with persons who do not care to work and who do not ap- ply themselves. In the movable schools everyone that enrdlla seems very much in earnest about the work | and all devote all their energies to acquiring knowledge of cooking and sewing. The experimental work in the schools has been so successful in every way that the work is being ex- tended as rapidly as possible.

When Lawyers Fees Are Fixed By Statute THE German law fixes the exact fees which a German attorney has to claim for all kinds of profes- sional work and ‘the rechtsanwalt can charge neither more nor less. These fees apply to all matters of the Civil Code and of criminal cases. The amount depends exclu- sively on the value of the object of contention. It is an old though still unful- filled wish of German lawyers to have a pew fixed list of fees—not made after the old and low standard of the year 1879, but made with con- sideration to the changes—the nu- merous decided changes—which have taken place since that year.

The exercise of the law is not to be considered a calling or profession, but is to be looked on more as a public office. According to the law- yers’ code of the ist of July, 1878, lawyers are charged publicly with certain duties. He is obliged to have his residence in the town or district where he is appointed (socalled residence duty). Further, he must conduct himself in and’ out of office in a wy befitting his profession and social standing (i. @., duty due to his rank). Thus a lawyer is forbidden to advertise in newspapers, by canvassing, et~., or to buy or take over practice already made, as being unworthy of his cal- ling, His position in society is between 4 Aref . eon Pe oe RR .

te! reg i Bi 2 F Hug) 25,000 PersonsVisit Moth- er of Missourt Outlaws in Ten Years, Paying s Twenty-Five Cents Each to Hear Her Story and - MRS.ZERELDA SAMUELS, MOTHER OF THE JAMES Boys. WENTY-FIVE thousand people, during the past.10 years, have journeyed across the hills of Clay County, Mo., to the farm on which Jesse and Frank James, the celebrated Missouri outlaws, were born. Each visitor has paid to Mrs. Zerelda Samuels, mother of the band- its, 25 cents to hear from her lips the story of the daring and desper- ate deeds of the James boys. __ Nearly all of the travel to the James farm has been from Excelsior Springs, a distance of 10 miles. Each tourist has made the 20-mile drive in vehicles or automobiles and in addi- tion to the admission fee of 25 cents has paid an average livery or taxi- cab hire of $5. The curious public has thus paid out not less than $139,- 000, and possibly $150,000, to see this remarkable woman, now strong and vigorous in her eighty-sixth year. It was 28 years ago, April 3, last, when Jesse James, the younger and more daring of the desperadoes, was shot in the back and killed by Bob Ford at St. Joseph. That the interest in the James boys and their exploits is not waning is shown ‘by the fact that each succeeding year sees a con- stantly increasing stream of visitors: ‘to the Samuels farm. Mrs. Samuels derives an income of almost $100 a month from the curious visitors, and it is her boast that she is “no pauper.” The visitor who pays his quarter upon crossing the threshhold into the neatly-kept Samuels home is given a cordial and enthusiastic welcome. But the few who refuse to pay, are curtly told that their presence is un- desirable. The visitors to the James farm have come from every state in the Union and from many foreign coun- tries. The travel in vehicles in Clay County alone has been upwards of 500,000 miles. If the travel had all been in.a straight line the visitors would have circled the globe 20 times. If the visitors were distribut- ed around the earth there would be one at every mile post. The little one-room frame building in which Jesse James was born 62 years ago—he was 34 when he was killed—stands on a lot 50 feet from what was later the family home. Many of the window lights are bro- ken out, and a portion of the weather- boarding has decayed and fallen away. The low structure of three rooms, with a huge old-fashjoned chimney in the middle, which constituted the James home when Jesse and Frank were hunted from one end of the See House Where Sons Were Born-:sNow _Eighty-Six Years Old, _ Digorous, Alert, and “a Teddy Roosevelt Re: country to the other, has been pre- served just as it was in those stir- ring days. In front of this .as been built a neat two-room addition, in which Mrs. Samuels now lives. The older part of the house is kept as a sort of museum. A section of the huge hand-gr2- nade, which the Pinkertons threw into the house in January,.1876, has been made into a door prop. As Mrs. Samuels points out the section of the bomb to visitors, sne holds aloft the stub of her right arm. and exclaims: “That is what the Pinkerton cow- ards threw into my house when I was asleep in the hope that they might kill my brave boys, Jesse and Frank. They killed my 8&-year-old boy, Archie Payton Samuels, and a piece of the thing blew off my right arm.” “Were Jesse and Frank at home publican” the night the bomb was thrown into” the house?” one of the visitors asked. The aged woman sprang from her chair. Her eyes flashed fire. “My God, man, do you think that Jesse James and his brother Frank were cowards?” she exclaimed. “They were a thousand miles from here. If they had been at home there would not have been left one of the detective cowards to tell the tale.” Ban B. Johnson, president of the American Baseball League, walked into the house just as Mrs. Samuels miade this outburst. Johnson, who is a regular visitor to Excelsior Springs as the guest of his friend, John Emmke of the New Elms Hotel, walks over the hills to the James farm nearly every year while he is taking his strenuous training for the wind-up of the baseball season. One of the visitors addressed John- son by his nickname, Ban. “Mr. Johnson,” said Mrs. Samuels, looking at him through her keen, flashing black eyes, “are you. a gamblér? Your first name sounds like it.” Johnson laughed and assured Mrs. Samuels that he was not a gambler. He put her in high good humor by presenting hera bottle of fine im- ported wine, of which she is very fond. a WHEN CRIMINAL HEN a man commits an ordi- nary crime and then flies to another country, the Government of that country is, as a general rule, only too glad to hand him over on demand and cry, “Good riddance of bed rubbish.” ‘ “nen, however, the crime happens to be a political one, the case is altogether different. In such an event it not infrequently welcomes him with open arms. In any case, {t almost invariably refuses to sur- render him. This is in accordance with both the written and the unwritten law of nations, which decrees “right of sanctuary” to political offenders, me for this reason a good deal more is likely to be heard in England in the near future of the “Savarkar in-ident,” as it is now beginning to be called. Savarkar, it will be remembered, was the Hindoo student who was ar- rested in London for carrying on a seditious propaganda in India. and was deported to that country for trial. On the way out there, how- _ ever, the steamer that was convey: ing him put into the harbor of Marseilles, and Savarkar seized the opportunity to jump overboard and swim ashore. A French policeman arrested him as he clambered up the quay side, and handed him over to the crew of the ship’s boat that was sent to fetch him back, in ignorance of the fact that he was a political offender. But he was one, in fact. He had set foot on French soll: and he had thereby entitled himself to his “right of sanctuary.” As a consequence, the French Government, as soon as it learned the truth of the matter. started to make “friendly represen- tations” to the British Government. and these are still in progress. What the result will be remains to be seen. Of course, a good deal turns upon the question as to what constitutes a political offense, but the general tendency is to allow the very wid- est possible latitude in the inter- pretation of the term. England, es- pecially, has always shown herself exceedingly tolerant of all sorts and kinds of consrirators belonging to nationalities other than her own. Thus, when Orsini tried to blow S ARE MADE WELCOME up the Emperor of the French, England persistently declined to hand over his accomplices, who had taken refuge in London, and this, although France very nearly went to war with her in order to try to compel her to do go. A moe recent case in = point, again, wes that of the Chinese re- former Bun Yat Sen, who also took refuge on British soil, and whom likewise England refused to’ sur- render, although the Chinese Gov- ernment insisted. Eventually, de- spairing of gaining their point In any other way, the Chinese authort- ties caused him to be kidnaped and imprisoned inside the Chinese Lega- tion in London, where it was in- tended to hold him a prisoner yn- til he could be smuggled on board a mail steamer bound for China. But the facts leaked out, and the Chinese minister had perforce to deliver up his captive on receipt of a curt order to that effect signed by Lord Salisbury. The same principle holds good to- day. A foreiener who is disqualified under the Alien Act tor residence in England, can claim admittance at once provided he can show that he is a political refugee, and that his life or his liberty would be en- dangered if he were rejected and deported. : Nor are other nations much less tender of the rights of “politicals,” as this class of offenders is generally designated for short. Switzerland, for instance, refused to give up the notorious Vera Zassoulich, who shot Gen. Trepoff, the Chief of Police, Petersburg. Trepniac, the famous Nihilist, lived in France, Germany and Italy, before finally taking refuge in England, and by each -of these three nations in turn was his extradition refused. In the United States the rights of political refugees have been pro- tected almost religiausly, in view of our early colonial experiences, ex- cept in recent years when dealing with Mexico. at St. A Viper inaGuitar Case *. —— + eee ee or — so >. tty miss MARY ROBERTS, of Somer set, Mass., was sitting in an easy chair bringing the strings of her nope in barmonious tune when a frightful looking snake poked its head from the box of the instru- ment and licked out its poisonous tongue in defiance to the young woman. So overcome with fright was she that she sat spellbound for several seconds before she could find energy enough to cast it to the floor and scream for help. Her cries brought other members of the family and the guitar was examined, but no snake was found. Mr. Baugh, a neighbor, rushed in and a hurried search revealed the intruder under the bed, where ft had crawled when Miss Roberts cast the instrument fo the floor. It was quickly dispatched by Mr. Baugh and found to be of the viper species. HX e Ds Dae Y ti ae , PR BER ee Sy CRS A Ue Ste d “ee rs SO RRR «oe a, ae Ot ae . P Oe ~~ . MRS.

They had to flee for their lives. “There was Kentucky blood in their veins and it naturally cried out for vengeance. They would have been good boys if they had been allowed, at the close of the war, to come home and live in.peace. Instead of that they were hunted lixe wolves, and big rewards were offered for their capture. If they did anything wrong it was because they were driven to it, “Since Frank James surrendered and was acquitted—God bless Gov. Johnson of St. Louis, he made a great fight for my boy—he has been a good citizen, and. good to his old mother. He is now down in Okla- homa cultivating a big crop of corn and watermelons, but this winter he will come back to the farm to live near me.” WER BORN, WRECKED BY A BOMB IN 1876 “I merely asked the question for information, Mr. Johnson,” she con- tinued. “I have considerable respéct for thoroughbred gamblers, but heav- en save me from tin-horn gamblers. I have a nephew who is a gambler, and he has told me all about tin- horn gamblers. “A tin-horn gambler and his wife visited me a few months ago. I heard about him before he came. His wife asked me if I knew that my boys were robbing trains and banks and shooting people. “I said to her: ‘Last night when your husband was gambling did you know that he had hidden cards up his sleeve to cheat and rob his op- ponents?’ The woman said no more, but left in high dudgeon. Johnson, who was a newspaper man before he became a baseball magnate, volunteered to do the in- terviewing. He asked Mrs. Johnson ‘about the killing of Jesse by Ford. “T warned Jesse a week before the coward whose name is not worthy to fall from my lips shot him, to be- ware of Bob Ford,” she said. “Jesse and Ford came to see me. It was at a time when big rewards were being offered for the capture of Jesse. | did not like Ford’s looks. I saw him once, when he pretended to be read- ing a newspaper, eyeing Jesse like a hawk. I knew there was mischief in his eye. “As soon as I could I called Jesse aside and told him that Ford was seeking an opportunity to shoot him. Jesse laughed at me. He swore that he had tried Ford and had no rea- son to be afraid of him. If the boy had taken a mother’s advice he might have been alive today.” Mrs. Samuels pointed to a memo- ria] on the wall and requested. John- son to read it aloud. It contained a tribute to Jesse and beneath the line giving the dates of his birth and death appeared these burning words: “Mardered by a traitor and a cow- ard whose name is not worthy to ap- pear here.” SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—SEPTEMBER 25, 1910. “T hear that you have become a Republican,” interposed Johnson. “Yes, I am a Teddy Roosevelt Re- publicau. I can’t understand it all. I am now a good, loyal Republican, but if anybody had told me when my boy was dying from the effects of that explosion that I would have ever. become a Republican I would have mocked him. “I thought then that it was im- possible that I could ever forgive or forget the Republicans. .I have for given them, but I can never forget them. Could any mother, who, in the stillness of the night heard the feeble voice of her dying boy calling her to bid her farewell, forget? “When I answe ed that call and looked into the innocent face of my child who had been torn almost to pieces ‘by the bomb thrown by the cowards who were not brave enough to come in the daytime like men, his little lips quivered as he tried to speak to me. “Finally God gave him strength to speak. “*T am dying, mother,’ he said, “*You are not afraid to die, are you, my son,’ I said. “ “No, | am a James,’ he answered softiy and feebly, and he spoke no more, ‘ “A woman who can forgive such things as that certainly cannot have a wic’ed heart.

But they hung my husband, Mr. Samuels, and tried to make him tell something he did not know. That is the sort of tor- ture to which we were subjected. It was a living hell, and if I had bitter- ness'in my heart, and my boys sought to wreak vengeance upon our persecutors, it is not to be wondered at.” The body of Jesse James was for 25 years buried under a great coffee bean tree in the back yaré~et.the family home. It was recently disin-” \ 7m terred and removed to the family lot in the cemetery at Kearney. The timber that surrounded the James farm 30 years ago has all been cleared away, and crops of c. ™ are now growing where the detectives concealed themselves when they were watching for the return of the des- peradoes to their home.

American Me Know How Te Dre Louis Martin Emmons, ‘Indiana’s, Beau Brummel, Indignantly Denies Contrary Louis Martin Emmons, Indiana's Beau Brummel. UT of the West he came, only the other day—Louis Martin Emmons—out from Richmond, Ind. Out with him came sun- dry trunks and hat boxes, shoe boxes and suit cases without number. No sooner had” he settled himself in a suite at the Hotel Imperial, New York, than he rushed to the defense of the American man. “Americans do know how to dress!” asserted Mr. Emmons, with righteous indignation, point- ing to the pronunciamento of Andre de Fouqueres, of Paris, who has already come forth with “Americans don’t know how to dress!”’ And then and there, to a writer for the Post- Dic atch Mr. Emmons threw down the gantlet to M. de Fouqueres, known throughout France as “King of the Dandies,” and reviler of fashions in America—for men. Though Mr. Emmons refused to admit it, he is the best dressed man in Richmond (Indiana). Nevertheless, he makes no bones of laying down this dictum—“Richmond is the art center of the Middle West.”” What’s more, according to the last recorded census, it has a population of 18,22, ~~ Steel Screws and Aluminum for Broken Bones T used to be believed by physicians and sur- geons that the only thing to do in cases of fractures of the long bones of the legs and. arms was to try to get the. damaged ends to- gether and bold them in place by means of band- ages and external splints until union could take place by the healing processes of nature. There has been a divergence from this idea, however, and many surgeons are advocating, first, an operation, and then the application of internal aluminium splints fastenea to the bones by means of steel screws. Dr. William S. Thomas of New York recently addressed the New York Academy of Science on the subject, saying: “No matter how far the operative treatment of fracture may advance toward perfection, there will, doubtless, remain a large majority of cases best treated by ordinary splints and massage. There wil] alsc remain a class of border-line cases where a decision whether or not to per- form an open operation will depend upon the sur- geon’s experience and views. “W. A. Lane of London is the most prominent advocate of open operations in practically every case of fracture where the skiagram shows mis- placement of fragments which cannot be reduced indirectly. Stimson stands at the other extreme and decries any attempt at open operation, ex- cept in rare instances. Meanwhile, the number of cases of fracture considered as amenable to open operation constantly increases. “I will not discuss the pros and cons of this question, but will describe the method which ap- peals to me after experimenting with several, as the best operation for genera] use, namely: that which maxes use of steel screws and aluminium plates. Steel screws are used because they have given satisfaction and are easily procured. “The principal objection to the common wood Screw in bone work is that its thread is not con- tinued throughout its length. Screws answering these requirements, however, may be obtained in London. On the other hand, if a screw be se- lected whose point extends into the cortex on the opposite side of the bone it will not fail to hold the splint securely. “Aluminium is the metal of choice for cleats, Decause, while strong enough, it is easily worked into shape at the time of operation to suit any requirement. A piece of sheet metal of the prop- er thickness is selected and cut to an appropri- ate shape with scissors, Three or four holes are bored in it with any sharp stee) point and trimmed smooth with a pocket knife, and it is sterilized with the instruments. “Lane has multiplied the number of Instru- ments for use in such cases and has devised steel plates of maby shapes and sizes, but if aluminium - PAGE Six be used it is easy to prepare it after the site of fracture is exposed and the particular require- ment of the case becomes evident. “Among the disadvantages of open operation for fracture are those due to the technique neces- sary with suture or intermedullary splints. Some of these drawbacks are obviated by the use of the aluminium plate. The great amount of trau- ma necessary in exposing al] sides of the frag- ments for some distance from the fracture, so as to drill through the bone or apply a splint to its cavity, is quite done away with when a plate or cleat is used to hold the fragments in place. In the latter case it is not necessary to expose much or strip any of the periosteum. “It suffices merely to expose enough of the fragments so that the plate may rest against them, without injuring the periosteum more than to puncture it for the screwholes. The ends of the fragments are held in p'ace with a stout hook or elevator slipped under that one which needs to be pulled into place while the plate is being applied. “The periosteum may be included between plate and bone without harm. The size of the drill bears a definite relation to the size of the screw which is to follow. A convenient plan is to use a mechanic’s wire gauge to measure the caliber of the screw which has been selected for use. Then a drill is selected two sizes smaller. “This screw, when driven into the boné, wil! fit snugly and resist great force tn attempting to dislodge it. With the plate lying in position, bridging the site of fracture, the drill is put through one of the holes in it and driven into the bone. A screw follows. With the plate now fastened in place as a guide, the other holes are drilled in their proper places. : “The number of screws to be applied will de- pend upon the tendency of the fragments to be- come displaced, but there should be in all cases more than one screw on one sid¢ of the fracture. Otherwise, hinge motion will be allowed or the screws entirely dislodged. “It has been objected that the screws, acting as foreign bodies and irritants, will cause ab- sorption of the bone around them and thus be- come so loose as to be useless. This objection would seem to apply theoretically more certainly if machine screws, with their shallow threads, were used than will wood screws. “Those plates which I have used have held firmly at least until relieved of their work by natural union of the fragments. On removing both screws and plates I have found them to bé firmly enough imbedded to necessitate being pried out of their resting places: but those which I have removed have all remained in place for ‘Many months. Assertion by French “King ot Dandies’ and Exhibits Nine of His Many Suits of Clothes in New York to Prove His Contention which is going some for Indiana, or any other place. And art and good taste in dressing are synonomous. | “Why am I] in New York?” questioned Mr. Em- mons to a question. .“‘because I want to defend American men against that slanderous French- - Man. That’s my real mission aere.” Meanwhile the hotel valet was busy with the trunks and hat boxes, the shoe boxes and the suit cases, from whicn emerged a dazzling array of male attire which might well make M. de Fouqueres shudder with envy. And not without reason. They were really clothes that might shine anywhere. “Why,” protested Mr. Emmons, “Americans are the best dressed men in the world. And that means American men, too! M. de Fouqueres has insulted all American men and I’m not going to let his remarks go unanswered. He says we don’t know how to dress. Bah! Has he ever been to New York? Has he ever been to Richmond, Ind. ?” In his indignation Mr. Emmons fished out a clipping in which M. de Fouqueres said this: “Englishmen dress like grooms. Americans fol- low them. Only Frenchmen know how to dress. ! shall show the Americans.” “Fiddlesticks!” fairly shouted Mr. Emmons. “IT shall show this Frenchman! He says men should wear corsets! Bah! He says our neckties are atrocious. Bah! Our shoes—awful! Bah! He won’t say so when I see him, or he sees me. If I get the chance I shall take this M. de Fouqueres to Richmond and show him how to dress there. He will have to take back his slurring remarks— bah.’? Meanwhile Mr. Emmons’ assortment of clothes was fast getting into line tm the big wardrobes in his room. The valet had received his tip and had silently departed, leaving Mr. Emmons well pleased with his work—that is, the valet’s. Mr. Emmons eyed the vast assortment of garments lovingly and once more consigned M. de Fou- queres to sartorial] perdition. *Why,” he declared, banging his fist on bis escritoire, “American men dress better than any other men in the world. There :zre better dressed men in Richmond—my home ci‘ty—than in P ris “Who is this M. de Fouqueres, anyway? I never heard of him. Who has heard of him? Who knows about him in this country. What’s his word, anyway, when he says men ought to wear corsets? But I’m well known. I am the son of Dr. Joshua Emmons, the eminent physician, who has invented a cure for consumption that never fails. I’m a merchant in Richmona and I live at the leading hotel. Hverybody knows me there. Sometimes the newspapers at home refer to me as L. M. Emmons, but I insist upon Bing called Louls Martin EBmmons—L. M. is too short. “I came down here rather unexpectedly,” ran on Mr. Emmons, with still rising indignation, “and I brought only eight of nine suits. Usually when I travel I carry at least twelve or fifteen suits of clothes. When I meet M. de Fouqueres I'll just show him my wardrobe of clothes and make him take back his misleading statements. Look me over—do I look as if I had to wear a corset? Does this business suit I have on need a corset?” It must be admited that it did not. Mr. Em- mons would hardly tip the scales at 201 pounds. “Do I look like a’ groom?’ he demanded. “Is my necktie atrocious? Is my hat absurd? Are my trousers ill-fitting? Are my shoes so awfil? Certainly not! And everything I have on was made in Richmond, Indiana! “Now this M. de Fouqueres wears a black velvet cutaway coat with only one button and a vest— beg pardon, a waistcoat—of the same material. I read that he wears checked trousers of a dove gray tint, pointed patent leather shoes and an Eton collar. I leave it to anybody—is that good style? We wouldn’t say so in Richmond! “Just let me show you my clotnes—every piece of them made in Richmond,” added Mr. Emmons slapping his thigh, with empnasis. More trunks were thrown open and suit cases and shoe boxes and hat boxes unlocked. In a jiffy there was a display on chairs and sofas which might have made M. de Fouqueres turn green with envy. Suit after suit was laid out in careful order. The first was a white vachting suit. Mr. Emmons donned it. “How about this?” he demanded, with a ring of pride in his voice. It certainly was faultless, this creation of flan- stroll and church. Is M. de Fouqueres’ any bet- ter?” The frock—beg pardon, the Prince Albert—was changed for evening clothes, and a silk hat. “I always wear a silk hat with my dress suit,” explained Mr. Emmons, affably. “You see, it’s more dressy than an opera hat—I used to wear that, but not now.” Another change. “My Tuxedo,” explained Mr. Emmons, as he came out in his dinner coat. “I wear it at the club with an opera hat. That’s de rigueur. I only wish I had brought along my riding togs and my golf clothes, but I came here in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to get my things together. I always take them with the yachting suit and the lounging clothes whenever I go away “The First Was a White Yachting Suit, faultless; a Creation ‘ of Flannel and Cream.”’ or even in London, or any other European city. There isn’t any doubt about it. I've never !,een to France, but I know how they dress in Ind‘ana. Why, they dress just as well in New Yor!: as they do at home, even in ‘ndianapolis.

The Hunting Season as Seen by the Babes in the Wood

By IRVIN 8. COBB, The Sunday Post-Dispatch Humorist. like most of the other illus- trious Dead Ones whom I had interviewed for the columns of the Post-Dispatch, The Babes in the Wood freely used the vernacular of the day. Furthermore, I did not find them where their Wicked Uncle was supposed to have left them, deep in the heart of the unbroken forest, but in their cozy flat in the West End, with the windows commanding an excellent view of the back yards of their neighbors. “Yes,” said J. Rollo, he being the older of the two Babes, “at this sea- son of the year we always leave the woods and come to town. It’s quieter here, and then, besides, beginning in the early fall and continuing until the snow flies we have so much com- petition up there. Everywhere one looks one sees other Babes in the Wood.” “Meaning?” I asked. “Meaning the bold hunters from the city,” said J. Rollo. “You know from now on for the next few weeks the woods will be practically clogged with them. Behind nearly every tree in Maine and Michigan and the North Woods there'll be a debonair young sportsman who learned hunting in 20 easy lessons by mail. Behind large trees there'll be two of them. And such trees as are not occupied by earnest young correspondence schoo! hunters trying t» remember what the book said about the proper course to pursue in case the game should manifest a coyness about coming up close and standing still to be snot, will be in use by the guides, who'll be praying if they’re religious and cursing if they’re not. “So we agreed, my little sister and I, that under the circumstances the woods were ho proper place for us for the time being. What with the profanity and the accidents and the sight of suffering, and so many bright young book-taught Nimrods all trying to kill enough guides to make a mess, we decided that it would be just as well to come to town until things quieted down. Danie] Boone feels the same way about it that we do. I was talking to him only the day before We packed up and came in. Daniel was very much disgusted. “Tt moved him to tears almost, he said, every time he saw a city-bred youth invading a 5 and 10-cent store for a book of rules for destroying life and a new-born ambition to kill something that never did him any harm, and about as much idea how to take care of himself after he got off the railroad line as Daniel had of Sibbon’'s — —- ———-- ig my surprise I discovered that

Roman Empire,’ which, as Daniel said himself, was nine large volumes less than nothing, or one volume more than Gibbons ever wrote. It was enough, he said, to make a real wood- man move into town permanently and take a job as a book canvasser or a bill collector, or something. “I wonder why they do it? They say it ie the Call of the Wild or the Lure of the Wilderness which makes them buy out a sporting goods store and come a-pleasuring into the forest primeval. But if you are asking me, and I’ve had consid- erable experience in the woods, of Great Hunters of Big Game, which at this writing is composed exclusive- ly of Theodore Roosevelt, by slaying the infuriated grizzly, the ary moose, the ferocious mountatn bina ahd the fearsome bob cat, called by purists the Robefta cat. | “So he goes. He provides himself with a cargo of equipment which fo humane man would load on a mule. He picks out the place over the par- lor mante] where he will hang the stuffed head of the largest ‘moose. He arranges with the taxidermist to mount the skins he will send down; they may come in car load lots or, if the hunting is just fair, in bales. He goes around promising all his friends who belong to the Biks‘a string of teeth apiece for their watch charms. He pictures himself sitting by tune fragrant camp fire at nightfall while the clear flame mounts among the shadowy trees and the moon looks down through the interlacing boughs and then, after a pipe and a song, re- —s

‘‘He thinks of a bathtub and a regular towel and a real cake of soap; he thinks of a sure-enough speckled beauty—a freckled waiter.” I'd say it was the Ignorance of the Foolish. I think you could attribute a good deal of it to the junk that they prift in the magazines about the joys of camping. The child of fortune whose experi- ence of the wild life has been con- fined to times when the car broke down on a lonely place several miles “from a roadhouse reads this stuff, and he falls in love with the mental picture of himself wearing a nifty Norfolk shooting jacket with pleakets under the arms and a cute green hat with a curly feather in it.

The whirr of the partridge’s wing; the companionable tick of the bracelet watch strapped to the left wrist, in accordance with the regula- tions set down jn Vogue for correct garb for well-dressed hunters, the de- spairing cry of the cornered cougar; the pursuit; the kill; the triumphant return laden with the spoils of the ly; don’t they—the kindly voice of the grizzled old guide, full of his homely philosophy, and apt remarks; the splash of the hip boot into the cooling stream, the mossy boulder at noon, and the delicious camp break- fast at dawn, the--well, anyway, he’s just full of it. “So, when the frost is on the Tom show and the corn whisky’s full of shocks, he packs up and starts. He rides on the train to one of those stations where under ordinary cir- cunistances he'd look out of the car window as he flitted by, and say to himself with a shudder, ‘Great heav- ens! suppose the engine should break down here and we had to stop!” But flow he piles off gladly, with his two tons of equipment, for it is here that he is to start on his dash into the untrodden «wepths of the Gifford Pin- chot conservations. He lays in a few more supplies which the sporting goods dealer had forgotten to sell him. He hooks up with a guide who doesn’t care much for his life, any- how, and is prepared to go at almost any time, climbs into his fancy dress costume ahd fares forth to conquer the creatures of the wild. “After which it begins to rain. It never fails. If I were a farmer and my crops were perishing of the drouth I wouldn’t pray for rain. I would offer inducements to a city friend to go camping in the vicinity. It’s a better plan. It rains and the winds are hever weary and every: thing gets n‘ce and moist and soggy. Qur hero feels like he were going in swimming over his head everytime he puts on his flannel shirt and in- side his nice new stiff? hunting boots the skin comes off his heels in sec- tions suitable for mounting on birch bark postal cards for souvenirs, and he experiences the joy of sleeping under a tent which is not big enough for him and his feet at the same time, while a small freshet is running down his spine. “But he perseveres because ever be- fore his mind’s eye is the description which the party in the book painted of the delight of the wood firep the joy of the camp dinner, the thrill] of destroying the remaining fauna of North America with a gun, and, best of all, the balsam bed of plumy downy evergreens. He discovers the first night that the camp fire is only suitable for a person who has an am- bition to know how an old-fashioned smoke cured country ham feels while taking the cure. He also discovers that the sizzling bacon which has been broiled on a sharpened stick over an open bed of coals can tasté less like the bacon and more like the stick than anybody would have sup- posed; and that camp coffee is most- ly grounds and the rest grave sus- picious. ‘He is brought to realize that, ex- cept in the literature on the subject, the wild creatures are being garnered almost altogether by a lot of coarse, rough-necked natives who have no

HOW COUNTRIES MARK AN GUARD > is the country which pos- sesses natural boundaries. England ig better off in this respect than almost any other nation, for the whole of her 2755 miles of frontier is guarded by the sea. Next comes Italy with 2472 miles of coast- line, and the Alps like a wall across her northern boundary. : Contrast these cases with those of Germany and Austria. The latter country has a frontier line of about 8800 miles, of which 2996 is land, every mile of which must be guard- ed against the encroachments of her neighbors. Germany is almost equal. ly badly off, for her seacoast line is only 744 miles, while 2255 miles of land frontier border upon Russia, Austria, Switzerland, France, Holland and Belgium- and far the larger por- tion of this great distance is not pro- tected by mountains, rivers or any other natural boundary. The Germans guard their frontiers with unceasing vigilance, especially that which faces France along: the southern border of Bisass-Lothringen, and France is by no means behind in her precautions. As soon as the war of 1871 was over France began to build a huge chain of fortresses all the way from Belfort to chase—and they do spoil very quick- lofty _aspirations about the proper, Longwy..

Some years ago a tragic incident oc- curred not far from Belfort. A French officer hunting a deer, in the excitement of the chase, galloped across the frontier. A German chal- lenged, and, as the Frenchman did not stop, fired, and killed him on the spot. The French Government sent a pretty sharp note to Berlin, and compensation was paid by the Ger- man Government. The Russo-German frontier is marked in similar fashion, and here troubles are of frequent occurrence, for the hungry, ill-paid Cossacks are constantly raiding over the border in search of poultry and pigs. The oddest frontier line in Burope is that which marks the boundary be. tween Hanover and Holland, where it crosses the Rhine. A row of pontoons liew all acrogg the river, chained bow and stern. Since the dividing lines runs through from stem to stem, the eastern halves of the boats are paint- ed in Germian colors, and the western in Dutch. The result is, to say the least of it, striking. While the boundary between the United States and Canada follows for many hundreds of miles the River St. Lawrence and the great Lakes, there is a vast distance of prairie land be- yond with no natural demarcation. This is artificially delimited by pil- lars of iron and wood vlaced a mile apart. These are supplied aliternate- ly by the Canadian and United States governments, and run from Lake of the Woodg to the Red River valley. Beyond, mounds of earth and cairns of stone are used as marks. ‘ The pilars are hollow castings, eight feet high, eight inches square at the base, four at the top. Inside are well-seasoned cedar posts. Each pillar is inscribed in raised letters on the north, “Convention of Lon- don,” on the south, “Oct. 20, 1818.” The stone cairns are seven feet high, eight feet at, the base, and shaped like a pyramid. Farth is used where stone ig not available. Cra

And either of them might live happily where a domesticated hog would starve to death. Also, they represent It was this that brought the agricultural sharps down on the razorback. In the Kansas Agricultural Colllege experiments showed that while three years of fattening and care resulted in a. razorback weighing only 160 pounds, a domesti- cated hog tipped the scales at 300 pounds after one year of feeding and attention. Thereupon Kansas issued an ultimatum against the razorback. He must go. He is economically impossible. No matter what sentiment may clus- ter around him, or how valuable he may be in song and story, he.is not worth his keep, and if the farms of the South are to become productive to their highest degree the razorback must be eliminated, So the agricultural authorities insist. Then came the question, “Where did the razor- back come from, anyhow?” “Who is responsible for this miserable caricature o2 a hog?’ was asked. In other words, “Why is a razorback?” In every instance the answering finger of accu- sation seems to point to the peccary, the javeline —the “havalina.” The peccary must bear both his own burdens and those of the‘razorback. It has been decided that the razorback is a cross between the pecarry, or javeline, and the domestic hog, but a cross which failed to perpetuate any of the virtues of the latter. ' Those who decide upon the ancestry of the razorback as above mentioned do so by elimina- tion. The razorback was not here when the White man came, they point out. The white man did not bring the beast with him—could not, for there was no such creature in Burope, from whence the white man came, and would not have done so even had it been possible. The razor- back certainly didn’t “just grow” like Topsy. It is here now; it was not here originally. It must have had a mother and a father. Having arrived at this point the attention of the agricultural investigators was suddenly at- tracted to thé javeline and they began to scrutin- ize his record. As before stated, they decided that the razorback must be descended from the jave- line and the domestic hog, but that fact suddenly became obscured by the more interesting asser- tion that the javeline is the only simon pure netive American pig. Hence he deserves atten- tion at the hands of the publicists as being pos- sessed of a new individual point of interest. Pe-ca:'es abound chiefly in Texas and inhabit the region. bordering the Rio Grande. Encyclo-

reach a tree, for it is practically impossible to drive them off and their numbers and the con- certed character of an attack by a drove make it impossible to do away with them one by one. While some hold that a javeline will not attack except when driven to bay, there are numerous reliable instances to prove the contrary. Several of these are cited by Col. Roosevelt in “The ,Wil- derness Hunter,” when he recites the story of a hunt for javelines on the Nueces River in Texas. “Once my friend Moore himself, while out with another cowboy, was attacked in sheer wanton- ness by a drove of these little wild hogs,” writes Col. Roosevelt. Moore was a ranchman whom Roosevelt visited at the time of the peccary hunt he describes. “The two men were riding by a grove of live oaks, along a woodcutter’s cart track,” he continues, “and were assailed without a moment’s warning. The little creatures com- pletely surrounded them, cutting flercely at the horses’ legs and jumping up at the riders’ feet. “The men, drawing their revolvers, dashed be made into a pet, while the razorback is an out- cast from society and has ho qualities to admire. But when it comes to a marketable quality, the two are about on a par. While either is palatable, neither is commercially valuable. On the other hand, the domestic pig is the most valuable animal a farmer can raise, a statement - that is supported by the highest testimony. The domestic pig requires comparatively little tare, takes on fat rapidly and matures quickly, while every portion of the creature is comm valuable—with the proverbial exception of f# squeal. Not only the meat, which is prepared for the table in numerous ways, and the fat, but the feet, the ears, the hide, the bristles and even the eyes find a ready market. through and were closely followed by thier pur- © suers for three or four hundred yards, although they fired right and left with good effect. Both of the horses were badly cut. “On another occasion,” according to the same — distinguished chronicler, “the bookkeeper of the ranch walked off to a water hole but a quarter | of a mile distant, and came face to face with a — peccary on a cattle trail where the’ brush was thick. Instead of getting out of his way, the creature charged him instantly, drove him up a ™ small mesquite tree and kept him there for near- id ly two hours, looking up at him and champing © its tusks.” Still other instances of this sort are cited in the Roosevelt account; and the details of a hunt in which Col: Roosevelt engaged show that the animals furnish no-small amount of sport. This writer asserts, contrary to the opinion of — others who may possibly be nature fakers, that the peccary {s short winded and will soon come to bay when pursued with dogs. Coinered, they crowd in ‘together or take a po- _ sition of vantage against a bluff and face their | pursuers, champing their teeth constantly and . fiercely and attacking as soon as a favorable op- portunity is given, It takes a dog trained to the
