She writes every week, and I confess I’ve almost got 80 I look for thosé letters, She never has received the slightest notice from me. She proposed, ac- cepted and began niaking preparations for the wedding. She writes of her plans for the house, the color schemes and arrangement of this room and that and the sort of home life we are to have. She talks of ‘our money.’ She is at the stage now where she is describing her trousseau in detafl. She has not set the date yet, but. says ‘just any time when I can sparé a day to run over to Cleveland, she will meet me at the train and we will go straight to the church and be mar- ried. She writes quite as I should imagine any woman would write to the man she is to marry.” He laughed a large, mellow laugh as he relat this. He is the kind of nian who admires the sort of breeziness this Ohio maid displays, and I feel sure she has made an impression. 6 READ a charming fiction story,” I re J mareet, st» watch « man ret fat ‘self as a professional love ietter writer.” - Jove with a girl who had advertised her- “Lora! 1 never. © cell fall: in love with thie PE SS * h rite : » let- \ think?” I suggested. ters. Sometimes I have to pay 8 cents overdue postage. Think of going through life being obliged to read such long letters from your wife!” And the millionaire laughed again. “She must be crazy, this woman, don’t you “You think she is crazy because she likes my looks?’’ was the Colonel’s prompt retort. Well, I quickly was punished for the faux pas I had made. “Crazy or/ not,” the Colonel continued, “the only other kind of women I meet nowadays are these hobble-skirted, gad-about, club-going, worldly, mercenary, ambitious, suffragette kind of women. at the tag end.” “You are not in favor of equal suffrage. then?” The Colonel’s eyes flashed and the rays were multiplied ~~ the lenses of his thick eye- glasses. “Are you a suffragist? Well, I am surprised at you!”’ he exclaimed. ‘“‘My: dear young lady, you should exert your influence to encourage the home, not to drag women into public life.” “Well, but women want suffrage for the very purpose of benefiting theif homes,” I protested. “Not the ones I see Mrs, Belmont and. her crowd having meetings and hanging on street corners.” Mother Is Kind-Hearted. rT UT if we once had the. ballot, you know 5 it would only subtract a few moments from one’s home affairs to go to the polls and cast a ballot,” I contended. “The last time I voted, it required only five minutes to vote, but it was six hours before I got home with all the saloons I had to visit,” he replied. The Colonel is something of a politician in Tex- as, I believe. “Doesn’t your mother favor suffrage?” I asked. “That shows how little you know my mother,” replied the Colonel. “But then how could you? One of the very reasons she crawls into her shell and lives over in Hoboken is to escape you re- porters. And of course, she is grossly misrepre- sented and misjudged. You might wait around her office for six months and never get a word with her professionally. But if you told her you had a headache or a toothache, why, she’d be just like any other woman. I’ve seen her sit up all night with a sick dog. She’s always right there \with a lot of old woman’s remedies that she has tried herself. Is Noft*’a Spoiled Son. oW HEN she leaves her office her whole interest is centered in her home. My mother has been a most ex- cellent mother ‘to my sister and me. One of her first principles wag not to spoil her son. She sent me to Texas to shift for myself. And, look at me.” He drew himself up to his full height and proved a most superior demonstration, “My mother does not believe in woman suf- frage and here’s the reason why. I think it would spoil the women but she thinks it would spoil the men. It makes a man more manly to have some one lean on him, she thinks, She says there must be something in man for wom- an to look up to or the family will cease. Place them on equal terms and she will look down upon him soon enough. - She already does. De- prive him of his power to make the laws and you deprive him of almost the last advantage which is left him.” "Te POON’? Lage yout CAN Get ADIWORE — ss. a

“Of course your mother is a most unusual woman, but don’t you think there are other wom- en peculiarly fitted for worldly careers?” I asked. “Never have seen one. We have women in our offices but only for their refining influences. Put a woman jn an office and the men don't come to work drunk. The result is same as put- ting a carpet on the floor to ke@® the men from spitting. You don’t have to imag up a lot of rules.” ar Women “N.

' Ghamber is called on to head a movement for | vaising and expending $300,000 to “promote the development of Punxsutawney,” as many as fifty oe million Americans may not be able to locate the at town without consulting the map. - 2 ¥ ‘This is all the better for the moral.

In Hundreds of Western and _ Southern towns; now growing more widely known _ than Punxsutawney has been, St. Louis has neigh- bs -who have shown what local initiative means by “starting something,” which compelled first, attention, then respect and firally business growth.

To them “the going business” is every- *) thimg. They do not pay much attention to any- . 3 thing that is starting, unless they think it ought \ to be stopped. They look on “initiative” as an “hobjectionable Americanism. But as far as Punx- ney develops initiative now, it will connect everything “going” between its western lim- md the Rocky Mountains—an area in which mthing worth while is continually starting here.

Fiction is today written mainly by women; and it is already possible to compile an anthology of words and phrases used and understood by wom- e:) alone: “Man-like” is a woman’s word; so is “friendly- wise” and “alright.” No male author would make the heroine say “I am a very woman!” Heroines lead an anxious and harassed life. Young persons “Sweep up” when out forthe even- ing; ladies, when exceptionally tender, ‘“flute;” and girls, on the slightest provocation, ‘‘pant.’’ “*T ghall hawe the world at my feet one day,’ Rachel panted, ‘clapping and applauding me to the echo the world.’’’ Heroines do things in brackets. They speak (gloomily) and (grudging- ly) and (archly). Grand-uncles are addressed (vearningly). Heroines do not reply; they “flash.” The best heroines “ripple.” “‘How man-like!’ Aminta rippled.” Heroinés and ladies going into the magazines tu say that their heart will find “its king” are “not

THE BENEFITS OF COLONIZATION. The Catholic Colonization Societies of the United States are engaged in a most praise- worthy and very necessary work in their efforts to place the Catholic immigrants on farms in this country. Archbishop John J.. Glennon, who presided as chairman of the recent colonization convention here, declared that the Catholic immi- grants were largely farmers and should be direct- ed to farm lands instead of being allowed to congest in the cities. Of course this is true of any and all immigrants who are accustomed to agriculture and have had no training in those forms of labor which are best rewarded in, the great cities. But that fact does not detract from the credit that is due the Catholic Colonization Societies for undertaking a duty which involves

MRS. AVA ASTOR BESTS QUEEN IN HION CLASH Edict of King’s Consort Against - Tight Skirts Is Ignored, and the American Woman’s Style Is the Craze in Smart London. ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FIGHTS EXTRAVAGANCE IN GOWNS. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press Pub. Co. LONDON, May 6.—Queen Mary may. give her commands about ladies’ costumes, but Mrs. A’va or exercises a far more potent sway over smart nédon than Her Majesty. In spite of ‘the Queen’s decree against them the close-fitting gowns Mrs. Astor now wears—flowing away ina marrow shawl-like effect at the feet, showing glimpses of colored hosiery and silver or gold shoes—are all the rage. In fact, this style has been so much worn at parties since Easter that Mrs. Astor must adopt something new in order tc be exclusive. The Queen's edict made the fashion papers too indignant for words, but it is generally remarked that it is only obeyed by women whose figures do not suit narrow skirts. The Queen discussed the subject of tight skirts when dining last week with the Earl and Countess (Beatrice Mills) Granard, explaining to the ladies Present the obvious inconveniences of courtesving to her in a skirt too tight to admit of free move- ment. She said it is painful to see the expression ©n ladies’ faces when venturing upon a courtesy évidently uncertain whether their skirts will @plit in the act. QUEEN OPPOSES DISPLAY OF CHARMS. Furthermore, the Queen disapproved of the faithful and lavish display of feminine outlines and she especially @onsiders that a very decollette evening bodice, together with an extremely narrow ‘skirt, tov hearly suggests the nude for propriety. The guests at the Granard’s party had been given hints beforehand by the hostess, who knew thse Queen's views, so the ladies were soberly ar- rayed. She has not hesitated to strike from the court guest list the names of fashion ladies who have offended by a too lavish display of their ¢harms. . Not only has the Queen strong views about. freakish dressing, but decided opinions upon tho fapidly growing extravagances of women in dress, making no secret of her disapproval when told of big prices paid for clothes. She_strongly dis- countenances abnormally large hats, short-sleeved bodices\.or blouses in the day time and the pro- sion of costly costumes commonly worn not: for th but for display. She wears few jewels, and except on state occasions, when custom de. crees otherwise, she uses her own small coronet, which, when contrasted with those of the ultra- Smart set, looks positively meagre. Her prejudices, as they are styled, are laughed at in general society, but are causing constant annoyance to the court clique, especially the maids of honor and the ladies in attendance, who are. in despair, as it means that they must have dowdy costumes when on duty and smart ones when off. WAR ON EXTRAVAGANCE AND IDLE LUXURY. Queen Mary deplores not merely the dress craze but every form of extravagance and idle luxury, especially among women. The smart young married women who latterly have dom!- mated London society are her special abhorrence. Only those who devote themselves to their hus- bands and families find favor in her eyes. The ‘racing set, the real upper crust of English swell- dom, who never miss Newmarket, and travel about the country to all the big meetings, she refuses to patronize. Declining to countenance such tastes fn her sex, she will attend Only the Derby, the Ascot and the Goodwood meetings, which are traditional royal gatherings. In short, the Queen is entering upon a crusade against the frivolity of the class of people who stood highest in favor with the late court, be- cause they made things go and attracfed to Lon- @on the spendthrift classes of every other country. , Undoubtedly her crusade will fail and her court will lapse into a state of dullness, while the merry crowds of reckless fashion disports itself ; DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH LOSES CORONATION PLACE LONDON, May 6.—After a short stay in Paris, doubtless laying in a stock ofthe latest fashione, the Duchess of rlborough has returned to Sund- erland House, where it is said she: proposes to ra. main for the season. Her second son, Lord Ivor Churchill, for the sake of whose health she spent the winter at St. Raphael, is still on the Riviera and will not re- turn until the middle of May, in order that he may be saved the risk of exposure to the London east wind, which is never quite done with until

The Duke of Mariborough, as a peer of the realm, will be entitled to be present at the cere- mony tn Westminster Abbey, but the Duchess, hav- ing no precedence, cannot be present at any of the erremonies owing to their separation.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, May 6.—American society in Paris has had its curiosity aroused over the identity of a Mile. Suzy Bennett, who has been appearing in the fashionable Theater Midnel in Sacha Guitry's play, “The Night-Watch,” one of the seaSon’s suc- sesses. Mile. Bennett was reported to be the stage name of a wealthy American! girl living in Paris who had taken to the footlights against the wishes of her parents simply through love,of excitement. In essentials the rumor was not far wrong. Mlle Suzy Bennett formerly was Gertrude Lewis of San Francisco. Her father, William Lewis, left Calli- fornia about 10 years ago with his wife and two daughters, Edna and Gertrude. Edna Lewis mar- ried Viscount R. de Clinchcamp, a typical French gentleman farmer living in his’ family’s chateau, centuries old, at Avranches in Normandy, in sight of the famous abbey of Mont Saint Michel. Ger- trude Lewis had no liking for quiet life in the country; she sighed for adventure. Her romance began when she met Chakir Bey, a nephew of the Khedive, while her family was win- tering in Egypt. After an impulsive Oriental courtship Chakir Bey won the American girl's hand. No sooner were they married than the bride found herself locked -up in a harem and learned that as a wife she was only one among others. LIFE IN A HAREM HAS NO CHARM, It might have been romantic-‘enough in a book or when described by Mrs. Jackson Gouraud, whos spent three days in a harem, but the prospect of | passing her life behind locked doors with not much more freedom than a slave did not appeal in fact as much as it might In fancy. ‘ Gertrude got word to her family and diplomatic correspondence through the American Ambassador at Constantinople finally freed her from the harem, but her matrimonial happiness was gone and soon came the cutting of the Honds that made her the wife of Chakir Bey. Since then she has been traevling with her par- ents. But most of her time has been spent in Paris and she has obtained a knowledge of the French language that has enabled her to appear on a French dramatic stage speaking French to Parisians. The part she takes is that of a girl speaking French, with a slight foreign accent, but even so Gertrude Lewis has done what no Amer- ican girl before her has done by appearing in a typical French comedy at one of the most Parisian of theaters. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis tried to dissuade their daughter from going on the stage. The girl per- sisted’ and they departed for the Riviera, but not before they had'read in the French papers com- plimentary comments on the acting of Mlle, Suzy Bennett at the Theater Miche!.

SINGER WHO WINS

FRANCO-YANKEE CLUB FOR PARIS Wives of Members of Feminine Kinsfolk Are to Be Admitted and Open Gambling Is Barred.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press Pub. Co. PARIS, May 6.—Americans living here perma- nently, the “colony,” are greatly interested. '1 the fact, which became known today, that Paris will soon have an international club equal in every way to the best club in London. The wives and other skirted relatives of the» men who are organizing the ‘club rejoice to learn that they will be admitted toits precincts on a certain footing: restricted, it is true, but sufficiently firm to prove even to a suspicious woman that her husband regards her as a good comrade. ‘Even Parisians who have traveled widest have not entirely grasped the American or English idea of a club. The clubs here which come nearest the ideal are the Automobile, the Travelers and the Circle Royal, but even in these the chief pastime is baccarat for high stakes; from which they de- rive their principal revenue. Paris exists as a social meeting place. The details of the proposition on foot are care- fully guarded until leading Americans and Frenchmen here consent to become founders of the new club. Several of the most prominent men in French society are interested in the project, and it is expected that the wealthiest Americans who pass mutch of their time here—such as Wm. K. Vanderbilt, James Hazen Hyde, Rodman Wan3:- maker and Charles Carroll—will consent to be- come founders. The plan is to buy for about $100,000 a-certain palace on the Champs’ Elysee, which extends through an entire block. A great ball room and a theater capable of seating a thousand persons will be among the features. If there is to be card playing it is to be done with each card party in a private room.

120 HAVE SAME GOLDEN WEDDING All of Rheims and Neighborhood Gather to Honor 60 Proud Couples.

RHEIMS, May 6.—Rheims, renowned for its quaint customs, has just finished one of its quaintest and prettiest celebrations, in commemor- ation of the golden weddings of 60 old couples. The city has been in holiday garb, the 120 heroes and heroines of.the day have been toasted and lauded over and over again, and all brides and bridegrooms and prospective brides and bride- grooms have been cheerily admonished to scene the day’s lesson to heart. Golden weddings are not rafe in this city, be- cause the natives live long and the diyorce court here is in high disrepute. But to have 60 of them fall on the same -day is an extraordinary event, and Rheims made the most of it. For days before the great event the news of what was to take place was spread throughout the whole arrondissement. The spinners left their wheels, the farmers their plows, the wine-grow- ers their vines, and all flocked into the city. They trooped in under the famous Roman arch, which was hung with garlands, thronged the famous boulevards and gathered at the inns and auberges to congratulate the city’s guests of honor. - The venerable thriteenth century cathedral, with its great rose-colored windows and its statues of 500 saints, has not seen a prettier spectacle since the days when the kings of France were crowned in it. Dressed in wedding robes, the 120 elders were given seats before the altar, where the Archbishop officiated at a solemn high mass, After the services the pafty proceeded to the town hall, where there was a no less impressive secular — The Mayor and,,.Councillors were there in state. There were speeches and cheering and all kinds of good-natured acclaims, the crowning event of the day, M. a gold medal upon the breast of bands and wives who had lived and happily.

The fact of their being on bad terms with one another became apparent dur- ing a recent London engagement at the Palace Theater, when, although billed to present their beautiful .“‘Baccha- nale,’’ this number was cut from their program, and, despite the audience’s expressed demand for its dancing, the two artists refused to appear together. Paviowa is said to have been the more determined in this refusal, shaking her head and frowning angrily when Mord- kin, in the. costume worn for the bacchanale dance, held out his hands to her as they stood at opposite sides of the stage, the entire Russian ballet company having been called out in re- sponse to long-continued applause; Each star had appeared in a solo dance, but, in the assembling of the company on the stage, it had been noticed that Mordkin never once touched Mile.

This simply removes the surface hair; therefore the effect is the same as shaving, only the razor is more con- venient and takes it off cleaner.

EARLY MAY DEALS FORECAST A BOOM INREAL ESTATE Made for Northeast Eighteenth and Washington Offer Corner Street Avenue Indicates Erection of of Hotel or Business Build- ing at That Point. RUSH EXPECTED FOR CATLIN TRACT LOTS Many Downtown Building Projects Said to Be Await- ing the Actual Beginning of Work on 22-Story Struc- ture on the Barr Store Site. Real estate transactions reported for the first week of May were of greater variety and of larger individual amounts and total than of any similar period for several months and are believed to fore- cast a more active market and a widen- ing of its scope. As showing, incidentally, the propor- tions of some of the proposed invest- ments, an offer was made yesterday for the purchase of the northeast corner of .Eighteenth street and Washington avenue. The amount of the offer was not disclosed, but it ranged higher a front foot, it is said, than hitherto has been realized for property in this sec- tion. The property is owned by a client of Franciscus & Kunz and is valued by agents at $5000 a foot. A large mer- cantile building or a hotel, it is said, is proposed for the site, which is con- sidered the most attractive on Wash- ington avenue available for either im- provement. The prospective pur- chasers, it is understood, are still ne- gotiating for thé property, but it is not believed that Franciscus & Kunz’'s will surrender it for less than above valuation. 7 Boom Awatts Barr Building. Bullding in downtown St. Louis has been practically in abeyance, but the launching of the Barr Building project, it it said, will set the pendulum in mo- tion in this area. Execution of a num- ber of large projects are contingent, it 7 suid, upon the erection of the 22-story building at Sixth and Olive streets, the ‘starting of which will be the signal for other announcéments. ‘Notwithstanding the exorbitant bridge toll exacted by the Terminal Railway Association, many manufacturing con- cerns are seeking locations in St. Louis. Almost daily sales or leasing of sites to _new factories are reported. St. Louis realty and building opera- tions are now not handicapped by a dearth of funds, as was recently che condition. There is an abundance of capital in the local banks and trust companies, and it is seeking outlet, preferably in realty and\ building channels. A general revival in building, which has lagged for various reasons, is in- dicated by the increased number vf plans under discussion and in course (4 ‘preparation.

The United Rallway Co. has foreseen this situation, and the consequent west- ward outpouring, and is hastening the extension.of the McPherson avenue line to West Portland place, the southern partion of University City. The Mc- Pherson avenue line, with the Delmar branch of the Olive street line, which extends to Delmar Garden, will give to University City two direct trolley lines downtown. An auction sale of last October was the medium through which many lots in University City were transferred to in- dividual owners, many of whom wil) erect homes there this spring and sum- mer, contracts for the majority of them having already been let. More than $100,000 worth of lots have already been sold in Maryland terrace, which extends west from Pennsylvania avenue, and which is just west of Wash- ington University. This tract is being transformer into a high-class residen- tial place by Everett Davis.

Hayes of Montreal Are - the Purchasers. LOANS ARE SIGNIFICANT Prevailing Rates of Interest 4 and 5 Per Cent; Demand More Than Supply. | Noteworthy transactions signalized the conclusion of the week in St. Louis real- ty circles. The Prominent transactions included the sale of the northwest corner of Twenty-second’ and Scott avenue and the northeast corner of Olive and Six- teenth streets. The Scott avenue plot was acquired by the 8t. Louis Edible Nut Co. for $80,000. The improvements consist of a four-story building, and occupy a lot having a frontage of 108 feet on Scott avenue, by a depth of 124 feet on Twen- ty-second street. The Oliver Chilled Plow Co., which occupies the premises, but which recently procured a location at Broadway and Warren streets where it will erect an eight-story concrete building to cost $200,000 was the grantor in the sale which was negotiated by the Mercantile Trust Co. _The price at which Scott avenue hold- ings changed hands, !s regarded as de- cidedly advantageous for the purchaser, the building alone, according to a rep- resentative of the trust company, is worth the purchase price. As an index to values in this district the ground without improvements on an opposite corner is held at $1000 a front foot. Scott avenue is on the ledge of Mill Creek Valley, and has unusually attrat- tive shipping facilities. The railroads are encroaching on this territory, and the purchasers, it is predicted, will sooner or later be enriched by a resale of the property to them. The St. Lotis Edible Nut Co. is now located in the block at Second and Wranklin avenue, which was acquired by the Burlington Railroad, and which paid this concern a round price for its prop- erty. Grand Trunk Official Purchaser. The Olive street property referred to has 2 feet on Olive street by 109 feet en Sixteenth street, and was acquired by Charles M. Hayes of Montreal, Can- ada, president of the Grand Trunk Rail- way, for $30,000. Hayes owns the ad- joining 40 feet on Olive street, and has controlled, for 15 years, under a 99-year lease, the corner lot, the fee of which he has just acquired. The latter was acquired on a 4 per cent basis of the lease, which fixed the val- uation of the holding at $30,000, which is $1500 a foot for the Olive street front- age of 20 feet. Including the lease the property is now, according to John 8. Carter, president of the McNair & Har- r‘s Realty Co., worth approximately $2000 a front foot. It is understood that a large commercial building will be erected on the site. Broadway Corner Sold. The northwest corner of Broadway and Biddle street was sold by thé McNair & Harris Realty Co., agent for the Connecticut Mutual Life Insur- ance Co., to the Fielding Realty Co. for $35,000. There are 80 feet on Broadway by 120 feet on ,Biddle street, the premises being occupied bs the Prendergast Lumber Co. The Fielding company is an auxillary of o fthe McNair & Harris Realty Co. An option, aqcording to report yes- terday, has been obtained on the big store at the southeast corner of Olive and Ninth streets in the Odd Fellows’ Building, at present occupied by George $15,000 a year for ‘the premises, and who has leased quarters at 210 North Bighth street, it is said, several years ago, was offered by the United States Cigar Stores for his lease a bonus of $50,000. The availability of the Odd Fellows’ Building for department store occu- pancy will ultimately result in its conversion for such purposes. The United Cigar Storea Co., !t 1s understood, has leased the corner store of the Leathe Buitlding, con- structed at the northeast corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets. The Nicholls-Ritter company is agent for the building, which is controlled by R, A. Boyle and James E. Fogg under a 99-year lease at $30,000 a year, and which has been practically all let to high-class tenants. The figure the Cigar Stores Co. will pay has not been made public, but it ic said that it will Overshadow all ren- tals in this quarter. | leans Are Significant, Loans were significant features of the week. The Mortgage Guarantee Co. loaned to the Waterman Irvestment Co. for five years, $160,000, which was se- cured by a new large apartment house, with 101 feet frontage on the south side of McPherson avenue, just west of Union avenue. W. L. Balson borrowed $20,000 from E. K Love, givingAs security the north- west corner of Delmar and Hamilton avenues. The rate was 6 per cent. The Cysu Bilancha Amusement Co., which is erecting a picture theater building on Olive street, west of Grand avenue, borrowed $90,000 at 6 per cent. It was Aent by Godfrey Hirsch, $50,000 and $4,000 by J. F.

@ year or so in which “bull markets” have been. non-existent leaves the thrifty and well-to-do classes in a distinctly improved condition of re- sources, but at the same time leaves a good many of them with an appetite stimulated by long abstinence. “This is the human and social side of such signs of reviving speculation. The economic side of it must be con- sidered in its relation to the question what happens to the world at large, if thorough and necessary liquidation has readjusted market valués, if capital has accumulated as a conse- quence, and if trade and industry are on the road to recovery.” Prices on the active issues after the early irregular advance lost most of their gains and closed showing small changes aire ways. "LONDON REVIEW. Special Cable From the London Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, May 6.—The sustained ana vigorous rise in your market for investment .bonds attracts much at- tention here. Whether the movement indicates general revival on your side or not, it is regarded here as favor- able not only to your borrowing cor- porations, but to our own better class of securities. This is because the erx- panding demand from American in- vestors diminishes the prospect of continued important issues of loans from your side in this market. It is therefore considered rather remarkable that a large line of New York City snatamee bills has’ been of- fered here in sterling denominations A fair amount has been taken on the basis of about 3 per cent. It.is also an interesting fact, in the same con- nection, that in our own market for -edged securities, there has thus been no improvement. The new Qveensland loan, for instance, has none badly, and several issues -f nadian municipalities have been poorly subscribed, New Inenes Not Biketly, : Fortunately, there is little indica- tion of further important operations of this kind. hose most. talke about at present .are chiefly in the Mature of investments in behalf of industrinl corporations abroad. don's feeling regarding your stock market's upward movemen: early in the week was that no sus- tained advance was to be expected fet awhile, The views of your large nking houses on the situation are believed be such that any spas- modio “bull movement” In stocks by smaller interests would be rather promptiy gia neg Our own shocks. mask et has fiattened out, and for the time being, at any rate, it is likelv to re nm on a very narrow is. The speculative account in certain directions—incliding home railways, London Omnibus shares, ce- ments and Rhodesian mines—has been mueh reduced, which has caused de- pression in other sections, and nonee- 19 1e ontinent has asnleted this decline by certain spectiiative securities.

active with closing prices of the week, fully isc higher. Not enough common stuff was available to make a market. Hog Supply Not Large. hog supphy was go00d The each day but not large. Compared with the}- corresponding week of last year, the receipts show a good gain but hardtv as large as the number received weck before last. The hogs averaged good in quality as a rule but still there was‘a larger number of pigs and lights from the Southwest on sale than in any week recently, The market was a little uneven but there were no radical changes dur- ing the week. The top of the market ranged between $646.25, while the bulk of the hogs sold from $5.85 @6.15. This is a narrower range than usual. Pigs and lights were not in as good favor as in previous weeks, and the good medium weight hogs are now selling around the top of the mar- ket. Shippers were good buyers for the very best pigs and lights and thev sold at $6 and above as a rede. while the medium weight butcher hogs sold largely at $5.90@6.15 and the heavy packers from %5.75@6. ‘ata oe pigs and lights sold at $4. 50@ 15.75, ac- cording to quality rather’. than weight. Rough sows and stags went from $5 @5.75. Sheep Trade Improves. The shee trade made some im- provement during the week but it is still on a rather low basis. The offei- ings to a large extent were Westerns of some sort and a good many were larnabs direct from Colorado. The ail- vance dn prices cver the _ preyious week was from 15@25¢e, and ths lambs showed the greatest improve- ment. Wool sheep were poor sellers all week as the buyers preferred the clipved ones. The best Colorado lambs, with fleece on, brought $6@6.40, while th» best shorn lambs offered brought from $4.90@5.35, best yearlings $4.35 @4.65, best fat mutton sheep $3.90@ @A.40, fair grades $3.65@3.85, and bucks $3.25@3.50. A few spring lambs arrived and the good ones were ready sale at $6.75@7.50, The spring lamb trade seems to be a lit- tle slow to start this season as the heavy run of lightweight lambs from Colorado is interfering with the de- mand for springers, Southern Horses Favored, Tt was another very good week on the horse market, The supply was only moderate, with the usual num- ber-of buyers on hand, There were more buyers of Southern kinds than there were the previous week. Under such conditions, the market could not help moving actively, and all kinds sold well. The quality of the offerings in the ring for the week as a hots averaged fair to good. Prices were strong on all classes of offerings, as compared to the close of the week before. The principal horse shipments ali week were to Eastern points, New York, New Hempshire and Pennsylvydnia being the principal destinations. _ Dealers reported an average week, and were fairly well cleaned up, as were the commission barns. There was nothing new on the mule market, it holding about steady, an remaining very parenks CHICAGO PROVISIONS, ‘ {som | OO | lee | oe

strong to permit any decline of con- sequence, and should a reaction take place it would doubtless place the market in a healthier position. Increase in Acreage. Advices from the interior indicate that~farmers have had a successful season and have paid off many old debts and are in a_ position, with every incentive, to extend their farm- ing operations whenever possible. While it is too early to arrive at any accurate acreage figures, it looks now as if the acreage would be the largest on record by 5.to 8 per cent. The New York Journal of Commerce in its preliminary estimate of cotton acreage places the increase at 65.5 per cent and says: “All states show liberal increases, with the exception of Mississippis where fear of the boll weevil and an unfavorable season thus far discouraged cotton cuitiva- tion. After suffering a reduction in acrage for several. successive years. Louisiana now comes into the season with the large increase of 15 per cent Oklahoma will plant 21 per cent more, but considerable -new land is accountable for this imcrease. Tex- as. with a 7 per cent increase is an imiportant factor in the general rise. An increase in the use ef fertilizers of 10 per cent is indicated.” NEW YORK FUTURB CLOSE. Glose vesterday. High.

THREE YEARS IS MAXIMUM Definite Statement’ as to Em- ployer’s Liability in Case of Disability. TOPEKA, Kan., May 6.—Kansas is the only State having a workingmen’'s compensation law. New York had such a law, but the Court of Appeais of that State declared the first compensation law ever enacted unconstitutional. Kan- gas was the second State to enact a compensation law and, since’ the deci- Bion on the New York law, fs the only State with a law that rigidly fixes on the industry the damage to persons in- jured in that industry. The United States and Turkey are the only countries without compensation laws. The New York law was knocked out because it was compulsory and be- cause the courts held that no provision x3 made for the doctrine of the’ as- sumed.risk or the negligence of.a fel- low servant. The Kansas law was framed on an entirely different idea, The law ton- templates the same general scheme of equalizing the cost of indemnities due to injury or death of an employe by making a fixed charge against the in- dustry in which the accident occurs. Both the employer and the employe must serve voluntary notice that they will come under the provisions of the act before the law becomes binding on either. 198 Per Cent Only to Injured. When the law becomes effective the “‘ambulance” lawyer practically will be driven out of business in Kansas, ex- cept for personal injury cases of pas- sengers on railroad trains and street cars. He can no longer work up dam- age sults against labor employers on a contingent fee. The argument that made possible the passage. of the law in the 1911 Legislature was the figures gathered by the American Federation of Labor showing that of all the millions of dollars allowed by the courts as damages to employes for injuries only 19 per cent ever got to the injured workingmen. The lawyers and court costs ate up practically all of the damages allomed. The Kansas Legislature set about to change this so that the employe need not go into the courts to collect the damages which rightfully belonged to him, and that the émployer would know just what amount! ghonld be charged against his business: for the injury and ceath of employem!!scThe law fixes the amount of damages and makes-the pay- ments automatic and- without resort to the courts. f What the Ch®#nge Means. Under the old system if a man was killed, his wife went into the courts with a suit for damages. As long as f “att LOUIS POST- DISPATCH.

One of the operators hired Becker's son, at $5 a day, to persuade the oid gentleman to sign the lease. The price was bid up rapidly to $20,000.

The next dav, Becker went to the hos- pital at Breese, having collapsed from joy over his sudden wealth. He has not) vet recovered. “Tt’s a pure speculation,’ Bruner tcld me in Carlyle today. “Thefe may be oll under Becker's Jand, and there may not be. I wanted the Becker lease, and was willing to take the chance. If I find oil I may make big money. If} I don't, I will lose got only what I paid for the lease, but the cost of drilling the wells. It will cost not less than $2000 to drill each well. I may have . te. drill a dozen to test out the land.’ Here is the story’ of how one young man missed a fortune. Two years ago he was the owner of:a 93-acre farm three miles from Carlyle. the prettiest and best small farms in( Clinton County. There. was a. fine ap-| ple orchard and a good cottage on it.) But farm life was not attractive to ine? ; He longed for city life. He sold the farm to William Maddux for $3900 aad went to &t. Louis,.to become a street “McCulloch for a wage of $2.20 a day. Maddux deeded the farm to his daugh ter, Miss Belle Maddux, for a birthday present. The farm is within a mile of the of] wells. The morning after the discovery of oil Maddux found his front yard full of people. They were opera- tors and speculators there tu bid for the lease. They opened the bidding at $2000. For two days Miss Maddux was the most eagerly sought woman in Carlyle. She placed on price on the lease. She mere- ly kept her counsel, and let the opera- tors bid. against each other. Before nightfall the first day they had bid. the price up to $f000. The second day she sorts of) fixed a price of $7700 on the lease, and it was snapped up in less than fifteen minutes by Andy Bruner, who had Before she could sign up with Bruner she was of- fered $8000, but she kept her word with Bruner and sold to him at the agreed price. The same day Miss Maddux was offered $1600 for the coal rights on the little farm. But for the former owner's eagerness to be in St. Louis; he would now be the posgessor of $800 in cash, es hi farm. ‘He will have to work for Capt. McCulloch about 10 years, 10 heurs a day, Sundays included, to have as much as he would have made in a-day if he had kept his farm. ‘ Widow Enriched by Land © Sa Dele Katy Sn et _RS.

WORK IS HARDLY STARTED NE Detective Tells How easiiaatn Visited His Room and Took Money. | % COLUMBUS, O., May investigation since the premature ex- plosion of the legislative bribery bomb has developed sufficient evidence to prove that the field scarcely has been touched and that it may be a month before the full extent of the grafting is known. The indictment of two sen- ators, three. representatives and a Ser- geant-at-arms, the fatter as a go-be- tween, is merely a start. It is rumored that a mafority of the members of the Senate will be indicted, thus making a quorum in that body impossible until after another election. Fifty witnesses have appeared before the grand jury and to each has been administered a special oath, by which they swear not to reveal on the out- side what they have told in the jury room. Among the witnesses was Gov. Har- mon, who geels the disgrace quite as keenly as any citizen of the State, for he is favorably considered as a Dem- ocratic candidate for the presidency, and in this year before the campaign he hoped a working majority of his own party would aid him in promoting some legislation to which he could point with pride, Even the credit of smoking the grafters out has been slipped over the Governor's head, and while he is commendably active in aiding the pros- ectition, he finds it difficult to get di- rectly into the spotlight, that place be- 6.—One week's ‘ing occupied just now by the burly form of Detective William J. Burns, who ‘ took a personal interest in trapping the bribe takers, because Columbus is his native city. Seeking to Hurry Investigation. There is no disposition to delay in the work for several reasons. One of them is that it {s getting late and the leg- islators would like to adjourn. Another * Teason is that Burns expects to be called away shortly to direct the prosecution f the two McNamaras and McMoni- ~aceused of dynamiting the. Timez - wullding in Los Angeles, and he would ' Iike to finish this” case before going est, where he may be eee for many weeks. Regardless of a desire to hurry mat- ters. along, it may be a month befare ’ the ‘Brand jury finishes its work, for the story of wrongdoing in the Legisias _ ture is growing hour by hour, and new witnesses are being discovered daily. It ts in the Senate where most of the , crooked work seems to have been done _ and it 4@:said there are 19:members of _ that pody.who are on the suspect. list. Should they be indicted and convicted it will leave the Senate without a quo- rum and thus end legislation until a new body can be chosen. This preponderance of accusations against the Senate has recalled the Hepburn, wife of the fofmer Congressman from Iowa, who ‘awoke frer husband one night and whis- pered to him: “There's a thief in the house!” “Well, what of it," burn drowsily, ate,” ~ Dr. Nye’s Peeultar Position.

Nye to get out of the lst of those ‘accused and into’ the camp of the ac- cusers, It was he who cauéed the are rest of the three Burns operatives, Har- rison, Barry and Bailey, on charges that they had tried to bribe him, in fact had handed him $200 which he has placed in the safe of Speaker Vining. The campaign against bribery in the Legisiature was starfed by the Colum- bus Chamber of Commerce after some. leading manufacturers had found it im- possible to obtain consideration for meritorious bills without the use of money. Leaders of this commercia! or- ganization, with the assent of several prominent citizens of Ohio, talked the matter over with Prosecuting Attorney Edward C. Turner arid then employed the Burns Detective Agency to get the evidence, Now that the expose has been made, Dr. Nye and Speaker Vining Say they were working along these same lines and intended to find out all about this easy money evil. The grand jury has heard both sides of the story and has declined to indict the detectives, but has indicted Dr. . Nye. . - Nye Did Net Anow Plot.

the stenographer in the next room would have the headpiece adjusted and be ready to take down every word that was said. There seems to be a streak of humor in Harrison, the detective, for he gen- erally invited his caller-victim to have a chair that stood directly under a large picture entitled ‘“‘Caught in the Act.” It is one of those pictures one finds hanging gn the walls of hotel rooms and did not attract much atten- tion until the’ bribery scandal broke loose.

Soap is a luxury to these workmen. Within a week after the Imperial dis- tribution German drummers swarmed in and around Corfu and drove a roaring trade in tablets of soap identical with those the Empress had given. The soap bore the same impress, the imperial arms, and was scented as sweetly. Thousands of cakes of soap were Lought eagerly; everyone professed to have a souvenir of her visit from the Empress’ own hand. Year ; for $8000 Theft.

B. Armour of Bonds While Cuting Coupons. BUYS DIAMONDS, GOWNS Employer Refuses to Prosecute Nurse Despite Missing $30,000. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 6.—Blooded cocker spaniel dogs led to the discovery ky Mrs. 8S. B. Armour of the million- aire packer family of Kansas City and Chicago, that she had been robbed of ever $150,000 in stocks and bonds in three years by her young woman com- panion. and the same innocent cocker spaniels were the cause of the young woman's peculations. The story of the series of bond thefts, as pieced together from reluctant ad- missions made by Mrs. Armour and by the accused companion, is one of the inost remarkable fin the criminal annals ef Kansas City, and is told connectedly and in detail herewith by the Post- Dispatch for the first time. It may te that the whole story never will be known, for Mrs. Armour still refuses to prosecute her companion and will say rothing about her alleged losses to any outside her family and her legal ad- visers. But there are daily develop- ments that add to Kansas City’s amaze- iment over this strange case. The young companion nas restored to Mrs. Armour all but about $30,000 of the stclen fortune and has promised to give rack the balance as soon as .she can recollect what she did with it. The girl's mind apparently is affected. She grows hysterical and incoherent when She talks of the Armour money and is unable to tell what became of the miss- ing $30,000. Began With Dog Show Incident. The statement given out by J. B. Sta- cy, attorney for the young woman, detailing the use to which she had put her stolen money, contained one item of $3000 for dogs. This explained a story that had puz- zied Kansas City for many months. While the annual Kansas City bench show was on at Electric Park last Oc- tober a local florist gave out a story io the newspapers that Mrs. S. B. Ar- mour had placed with his firm an. order for $200 worth of roses each day of the Jog show, to be used in decorating a kennel of cocker spaniels exhibited by her. The next day a representative of Mrs. Armour called on the various editors with a denial from Mrs. Armour, stat- ing that she owned no cocker spaniels or dogs of any description, was exhi- biting no dogs at the bench show and Lad placed no order for flowers with any local dealer. The florist main- tained that the order had been placed under Mrs. Afmour’s name and a sec- ond statement from Mrs. Armour was that she had ordered the flowers se- cretly for the kennel of a very dear friend of hers and regretted that the incident should have had any publicity. Mrs. Armour became so fond of the cocker spaniels that when she demand- ed a settlement from her defaulting cempanion. she accepted the dogs at their $3000 valuation and declared the money well spent. Investigations by Mrs. Armour and the girl show that $150,000 1 —— - rl 7, ~ % = » "e . ; : : . " - ually fall to the lot of young girls. Her family was very poor and she was forced to quit school and work when ‘she was only a child. She had to earn her living and determined to be a trained nurse.

SEVEN MEN AS DICTATORS

House Hears Remarkable. Tale of How Organization Has Controlled Product.

WASHINGTON, May 6.—Recent transactions in warehouse coffee, said to be controlled by the International Coffee Trust, are being investigated by Congress and the Department vf Justice. The Government of Braz is much concerned, fearing friction 'n its commercial transactions with the United States. Coffee Exchange members in New York are displaying much activity. The trust {# unpopular with the brokers, wholesalers, retailers ard consumers. Those agencies say the trust keeps too close a hand on tho price of coffee. The full details of how the Govern- mentiof Brazil and a committee of sev- en men from the great financial con- cerns of the whole world hold the cof- fee market in their hands‘ and will con- tinue to hold it until 1919, has. just.been explained in debate by Representative George W. Norris of Nebraska.. Armed with the facts and the statisties-of the combination, he exposed ‘the entire workings of this great trust and showed how it would continue to exact an in- creasing tribute unless something is done to break its power. State Attempted Coffee Corner. The trust had its: origin in 1906, the State of San Paolo, Brazil. at least 8 per cent of the world’s coffee is grown in Brazil and most of that in the State of San Paolo. That State, it appears, at first at- tempted to corner the world’s supply of coffee by buying all the coffee produced in its own borders, to issue bonds on it and hold it until prices went up and then sell at the advanced figure. After two years the State egg raen found the undertaking too big Carry on alone. So it organized a - nopoly with the aid of the Brazil Government, composed of some of the largest financial companies in the civ- ilized world. Committee of Seven Named. Bonds valued at $75,000,000 were issued ry San Paolo and were guaranteed by the Brazilian Government. With the money from their sale it was agreed to buy all the coffee in San Paid adjoining states. English l‘rench, Dutch and Americayi§ bought the bonds. Rothschj di and J. Henry Schroder & Cé.! took $25,000,000. The Societ and the Barique de Paris of $25,000,000. S. Bleischroder of F £19,000,000. The National Ban sium took $5,000,000 and J. P. FB Co., the National City Bang First National Bank of Nev the other . $10.000,000. A committee of seven, o tative from-the six leadins and one from the Brazflian was formed to supervise ar ‘sale of the coffee and reg crease of prices. & Sons London j seven men, united by the ests, have levied pennies nies there on the breakfa world,” steadily pushing coffee upward, althougc tion has been in exces mand. Most potent of all thes@ rorces was the Brazilian Government... By placing an export tax on coffee shippedjout and turning the money back* again to the “committee of seven,’’ it has made the matter of moving the product into for- eign warehouses simple. But it has done even more than that. It has passed stringent laws forbid- ling any body in Brazil to plant more coffee trees. By this means it has h‘n- dered thenatural, increase of produc- tion to suéh a degree that the trust is in actual control of 8 per cent of the world’s annual’ crops. This means it san dictate prices for the other 15 per cent or else force it out of the markets. Keeping the Price Up. At the time of the formation of the trust the world was annually consum- ing approxinrately 17,000,000 bags of cof- fee, while ‘the supply was more than 18,000,000." Added to this, the young. trees that had been planted before the agreement went into effect were begin- ning to .\bear, promising an even great- er ausspentatio of the supply. Under ordinary ¢ "O1 ie conditions this should hag age * dibut a decrease in the ce of edffee, ' And that was hat: the trust wishéd to prevent. Ohe p out, the Brazilian Govern- ment occasionally increased the export tax. At one time it even proposed to load it on barges and wump it into the sea. At another time a proposition was made that the over supply should be burnt. But ,jthe committee feared the effect of this when it should become known throughout the world. » Regulating the Supply. Since then the plan has been to hold down the annual production as much as possible, storing the excess in ware- houses in different parts of the world ‘and releasing only enough to force an increasing price. The annual increase in consumption of coffee is about 400,- 000 bags. If the crop could be kept sta- ‘tonary, the trust figured that it would take until 1919 to clean up all this sur-

TRUST 1S BEGUN

> ars we en a trust was ciiahaiae Rio standard cof- fee brought 6% cents a pound in the New York markets. From that time the price has gone steadily upward until at the end of the first week’s business this year it had more than doubled, being 13% cents a pound. End Is Not Yet. The success of this scheme to keep the prices inflated was the theme of a recent report of Dr. Alavo Egeldio, Brazilian Minister of Finance. He showed from statistics that the world’s

since the Scviitibe of the trust, has exceeded by a wide margin the total production for the four years before the agreement, He showed that for the four years preceeding the so-called valorization, ihe average yearly production of'the world’s coffee was 15,574,000 bags. For the next- four years it has averaged 18,418,000 tags. In one year since the ‘valoriza- tien plan went into operation.it reached the stupendous total of 20,000,000 bags. Each bag containg 133 pounds of cof-

fee.

Notwithstanding this tamiemen over- production, the cest to the consumer has} steadily advanced, so firm is the trust’s grip on the coffee markets of the world. America H ‘The United on gal ga "eon sumed 23,000,006 bags of Brazilian coffee during these four years and 6,000,000 bags from all other ‘markets. Indeed, the per capita consumption of coffee is much greater in America than anywhere else. In the united States it-is an av- erage of 12 pounds a year to the per- | son. Sonny consumes seven pounds’

——— eee a - [per capita, trance five, and England less (than one. ~. The trust has been making a great effort to stimulate coffee consumption in Great Britain and. other countries where the demand is nothing’ like so great as it is in the United States be- cause of the more extensivé consumption of tea. A little more than a year ago, one — firm was paid $243,835 to superintend a campaign in Great Britain for that purpose. The Brazilian Gov- ernment has appropriated $150,000 for a similar purpose; San Paolo appropriated ss Milpnondiadihimaneamlonnage tence oe

In the first place, the trust will become inoperative in 1919 by the terms of the association.

MOLLY E. SEAWELL’S BOOK PUTS MME. SUFFRAGETTE ON. THE TOBOGGAN TO OBLIVION

Would Tear Up Our Social and Political Structures, She Says. Having heard Miss Sylvia Pankhurst and our own Mrs. Florence Wyman Richardson, listen now to Mrs. Molly Elliott Seawell, who has stepped out of the field of: fiction to tell why she con- siders woman suffrage illogical, unrea- sonable and productive, if it were car- ried out, of the gravest -harm. Mrs. Seawell, who gained nation-wide fame as an author of stories, had em- Bodied her views on suffrage in a book called “The Ladies’ Battles.’’ Let it be noted at the beginning that the book has those very qualities which the com- ic supplement artists have been attrib- uting to the agitators Mrs. Seawell de- rides. It is a virtle book, full of close reasoning and out-of-the-way facts about political economy. ' However, it is not an occasion for sur- prise that Mrs. Seawell is acquainted with political history. She is a descend- ant of President Tyler. Dedicated to Women. To get back to the book: It is dedi- cated “‘To those of my country-women who think for themselves” and right at the start it propounds this poser for the suffragist. The suffragists, in their shoken and published utterances, reveal that, while they propose a stupendous 'gov- ernmental change, they have,Jittle knowledge of the fundamentals of government. * * * Few suffragists, perhaps, could explain, offhand, why the House of Representatives has a Comntittee on .Foreign Affairs, and the Senate has a Committee on For- eign Relations. Fewer still, prob- ably, understand the connecfjon be- tween the First Parliament of Henry IV and the absence of a Ways and Means Committee in the United States Senate. Mrs. Seawell admits that the ordi- limary voter doesn’t know these things, but says that suffragists, proposing a fundamental change in government, lehould understand such pointa, She ~isays that to attempt enormous changes without knowing the alphabet of gov- ernment is “like trying to work the integral and differential calculus out mastering the ground /jrul arithmetic.” | . The reasons against suffrage” women are not based on the asgdump- tion that women are not equal to men,

you a Mrs. Beawell says, but merely that men and women are not identical. She carries out this idea through the book, her strongest argument being that wom- cannot help to enforce the laws, and therefore showld not have a say+so in making them. ? . No Fatr Test} Those states where Worins is now im effect do not test, Mrs. Seawell says, are sparsely settled. But that, even so, they have vorce rate in the Unite she adds: ‘ In Colorado, the mos all the suffrage states, expériment has not successful, as will be on. ‘The near view off not seem to help it. 14 years California, and Oregon have a frage amendments tutions. It may be} pany kept by woma oh pleasing to legisiatog Franchise shown She quotes Chis? J su saying: “The grantPuring: t has always been re South tice of nations as * defsate- ‘dpedt- ency and not as an® ‘their @5,,£,”” and she declares that &that the xe Court of the United Btates 5 af ly de- fined it as a privilege. She adds: If, however, voting be a natural right, not only men and women, but children, may vote, for a natural right is acquired at birth and lasts until death. There could be no vot- ing age; neither could there be any educational or property qualification. Mrs: Seawell then gives these two — reasons against woman First, no electorate has ever ex- isted, or ever can exist, which can- not execute its own laws. er ea no voter has ever claimed, ver can cla adber vein im, maintenance from Camnot Be Policemen. Plaborating this, Mrs. Seawall points out that women cannot carry a musket or wield a policeman’s night stick, and that therefore they are not quali- fied for the electorate. The reason why &,man Ccannet get alimony from his di- vorced wife in most States, while the wife can get alimony from him; why a husband ts held under odligation to support his wife while she is not obliga- ted legally to support him; is because woman has no vote and is dependent on man. She maintains that if wives had the ballot, men could refuse to support them, and would, should their *s suffrage ford a fair yause they e points out sughest di- etes. And

How Molly Seawell Stands on Suffrage, Told in a Nutshell RS, SHAWELL says VI there are “five cardinal principles of woman suffrage which are in direct conflict with five cardinal prin- ciples of the Government of the United States” and sets them forth as follows: The contention that voting is a moral right. The Supreme Court has decided that voting is not a moral right, but a privilege. The fact that women voters would become a privileged class, exempt from military and naval duty. / The suffrage claim that the United States could live under an electorate of which léss than half could enforce the laws. The fact that our Government is based on the rule of the majority, and. not the consent of the gov- erned. HE suffragist leaning toward T socialism, the state doing ev- erything possible for the indl- . vidual.

‘ing the~right to exact maintenance from a@ man, should not therefore, be allowed te vote, Mrs. Seawell says that & man loses his vote when he becomes dependent—a pauper. It doesn’t matter, she points out, how~ intellfgent or vir- tuous he may be. He loses his vote when he looks elsewhe.e than to him- self for ‘maintenance. “A wife’s maintenance is her jgast!

alent for a vote,”’ she: adds. Taking it by and large, Mrs. Seawelt | concludes that woman is inog- ical to the’ last extreme, and that if it were put into effect, it “wéuld mean the tearing up the foundations of our social and political structure.” The Post-D tch Is the only evening newspaper in St. Louis that receives or publishes news gathered by the Asse-. ciated Press. |

I have gained 25 pounds in weight. am in fine physical eondition, and feel twenty years younger. Personally. I find Dr. Lewin a con- scientious and honorable physician.

My first consultation with you convinced me of the value of your method of curing her- nia, and I felt certain you coul me.

Man Who Calls Himself Champion Signals in Rodent Language, Sprinkles “Curiosity Liqui at Hole and Snaps Animals ue With Lets

Thomas A. Tormey, who says he is the champion rat catcher, came to St. Louis three weeks ago and took up his residence in an apartment on Laclede avenue. He has notified’ business men whose places seem to promise the existence of rats that he will remove the rodents, according’ to a regular schedule of prices. As long as the rats hold out Tormey will stay here, he says. Tormey does not believe in cats as rat catchers, but makes free use of traps in his campaigns. He employs both steel. traps and basket traps, baited with a special preparcticn which Tor- mey discovered. But: these traps are only intended to capture the more unwary of the rodents. To catch the others, veterans of experi- ence, Tormey arms himself with a pair of tongs. . He Goes on Rat Hoant. A Post-Dispatch reporter accompanied the proclaimed champion on a hunt through the cellar of a downtown busi- ness house Tuesday night. Tormey had already made a careful examination of the room, and knew the location of each of its dozen or more rat holes. As a preliminary to the hunt, he instructed his assistant to turn out the electric lights. He then led the way to the outside. “We'll wait a few minutes for them to settle down,”’ he said. ‘Besides, it’s only 11:3, and I judge rats would not begin to run in a noisy basement like this much before midnight.” As the party entered the hunting field at midnight, there was a faint stir, then a scampering over -the furtherest wall. “There were two rats, they both dropped into the hole in the northeast corner,’’ Tormey whispered. ‘‘I thought that hole looked good. We'll try it.”’ He led the way, carrying his tongs, which are about a foot and a half long, in his right hand, and a ‘‘bull’s-eye’”’ lantern in the other. Th Creep Upon Rats.’ “Walk as softly as you can and don’t speak after we get to the hole. It’s just like fishing,’’ Tormey_ said softly. Standing over the hole he sprinkled the floor and wall by it with a lHquid which the owner said he always carried in his hip pocket. It looks like milk and has a strong odor. ~ Tormey threw the lamp ray on the hole for a fraction of a second, with- drew it, and then flashed it on again. “That attracts the rat’s attention, but doesn't scare him,’’ the hunter explained later. While angling with the light, Tormey gave voice to a few plaintive rat calls, which he made by puckering his lips, kiss fashion, and then drawing the breath in sharply. There are male rat calls and female rat calls, both sound- ing alike to the uninitiated.. Tormey imitated first one and then the other. It took just about five minutes of this eoaxing to bring the first rat out. Tor- mey heard him coming, and had the tongs open and ready by the hole. As the rat climbed out Tormey flashed the ray from the lantern directly in the ro- dent’s eyes. As far as the ordinary observer could see, the next move was the picking up of the rat from the floor. Torney had him prisoner, that much was proven ty the startled squeal. What really happened, as the catcher afterward ex- plained, was this: The rat was com- pletely out of his hole before he was alarmed. He had to turn around then, to get back in, and as he whirled his fiving tail was a fair mark for the oren jaws of the tongs. Shows Sigus of Fight. Tormey lifted the eiooner, squealing and biting the air, and swung him at arm’s length several times. He then attempted to throw the rat up under his arm. The rat still showed signs of fight, however, and the swinging pro- cess had to be repeated before the cap- tor could reduce his quarry to docility. Yormey then held, him by the back of tlhe neck, pulled his teeth with a pair of pinchers, and threw him languidly into a grain sack held by the assistant. The teeth were extracted to save a pup to which the prisoner was later given. In explaining his methods, Tormey declared that curiosity was the thing that made it possible for him to catch rats. “The rat, as long as he’s not scared, has more curfosity than any other ani- nial,”’ he said. “‘T don’ t scare them un- til the right time, and I cause things to happen outside their holes they don't understand. They get curious and in- terested, and finally, out they come. The liquid is simply a preparation of aitractive smells they can't under- stand,”’ Rats Are Fascinated. “It took me five years - erteet the liquid, but now I have practically made, it irresistible. “When I started rat-catching, 19 years ago, I used my bare hand in- stead of tongs, depending upon quick- ness in swinging the rat up before he could bite. I would grab him by the tail. The method was usually success- ful, but once in a while I was a frac- tion of a second slow and was bitten. I have a dozen scars on my right hand that came that way, and after a couple of years abandoned the method and learned to use tongs. “J started in this business in an ef- fort te catch rats to teach a bull terrier pup I owned to kill them. I became more and more proficient in catching them as Jerry, the dog, necemne more proficient tn killing them.’ For four years Tormey operated & professional rat-killing pit in Boston.

Rat-pitting, he explained, consists of} contests between dogs as to their agoed | com In killing the rodents. He declared that | Se Ot es earl, abd tt. Talon frequently entertained an audience of 200 at @ single contest, charging an ad- — fee of $1 aan. ‘ ments for a location and tnterested one or two prominent business men in the scheme.”’ During the 19 years he has operated as a professional rat catcher, Tormey has made an average of $15 a month out of the business. That includes both the “pitting’’ contests, by means of which he was enabled to kill the rats at a profit and the returns from contracts to catch them. His schedule of prices follows: On small jobs, 25 cents a rat. On large jobs, $20 per 100 rats. For cleaning out an ordinary resi- dence and a five-year guarantee against further rat trouble, $26. His largest “job, he said, was the cap- Sulzberger’s packing house in Chicago. It took five days and he received $335 in payment.

E, A, Lyman Funeral This Afternoon. Fellow employes in the office of the American Car and Foundry Co. will act as pallbearers at the fu- neral of E. A, Lyman, assistant lum- ber agent for the company, this aft- ernoon. The services will be held from the Lyman home, 2508 Clara avenue. Pneumonia caused Lyman’s death, he having taken cold while trimming an arbor in his yard on a recent windy day. He was 47 years old and was married. A FAT WOMAN HATES SOCIETY Fat people have to get into clothes that are designed for people of normal physique. The men wear dress suits and look like’ comic pictures. The women wear low necked dresses to their evident humiliation. This is why it is often said that a fat woman hates society. Fat is as much the mistake of poor health as anything else. The things that make fat should be making good blood, bone and nerves. The secret is that the digestive machinery is out of gear. The juices make fat in too large quantities. This fat impedes circulation, cramps the heart, sup- presses the liver, crowds the lungs and interferes with the stomach. Marmola Tablets are harmless. They are taken after each meal. They help digest that meal as nature intended it should be digested. They remove the fat al- ready made at the rate of from 12 to 15 ounces a day, and they leave no flabby skin or wrinkles. They are sold wherever drugs are sold, and are not in the . same with harmful patent fat reducers. They contain Marmola,’ Cascara Aromatic and Peppermint water. If you do not care to call upon vour druggist, sent 75 cts. to The armola Co., 199 Farmer Bldg., De- troit, Mich., and they will send you a large, full size case by return mail in plain package postage paid.—ADV.

A miniature automobile that will rest on a space less than the dimensions of three postage stamps has been made by R. A. Tichenor, 29 years old, a chauf- feur for the St. Louis Taxicab Co. The car is complete in all of its parts, and has taxed the patience and skill of Tichenor three months and a half in its construction. The complete auto has 210 parts, and is an exact model of a coupe. The min- jature car is enclosed in a small glass case. : The car is painted black with gold trimmings. The doors open on 1-16-inch hinges. . The tiny windows in the doors slide up and down at will. The cush- ions inside are made of cloth, ‘with gold finish. The entire work was done with a pocket knife, file and a pair of wire tweezers. Tichenor lives at 4038 Castleman ave- nue. He is an expert machinist. SPRINGS CHESTNUT, IS PRONOUNCED CRAZY Schmahl .Will Not Crack Any More Nut Jokes at City Hospital. “Never again,’’ said Charles Schmahl, 1620 Dolman street, yesterday in regard to his effort to be facetious at the city hospital. Entering the institution, he perpetrated the chestnut: “A squirrel took me for a nut and bit me on the hand.” Adopting. the squirrel’s point of view, the physicians sent Schmahl to the observation ward. With some difficulty, he saved himself from being locked up, and proved that he was sane. Schmahl’s squirrel ran up a tele- graph pole, and he went climbing after. Although he had not the squirrel’s sharp claws and light body, he overtook the pet at the top of the pole and held out his hand. The animal took it, and bit it. : The wound -was finally cauterized, but not before it had noticeably swol- len. WITNESS DROPS PISTOL, Court Orders Arrest as He Is About to Testify at Granite City.

Genially smiling at the Prosecuting Attorney, he was about to sit in the witness chair when a _ revolver dropped from his hip pocket. “Arrest that man,” said Judge Riggs to a marshal. Rouffess wes taken to jail and held there three hours until the afternoon session. When he was arraigned on a charge of carrying a concealed wea- poh, he -pleaded guilty and Judge Riggs fined him $25. RODENBERG, AT BAT, .

Oliver stooped and dabbled in the water with his hand. His brother, imitating him, slipped upon the mud at the edge of the pool and fell into it face downward. ’ The water was only six inches deep. But Ernest, in falling, involuntarily screamed. Mud and water, entering his open mouth, choked him. Oliver fled toward the house, 50 feet away, crying for his mother. She was beside the pool in an instant and lifted Ernest from the water. He died after several minutes. Mrs. Potthast was prostrated last night by the tragedy.

It wag the first warm day, of spring at Sixteenth street and Biair avenue.and a school holiday besides, so that the boys in the neighborhood had double cause for thanks yesterday. The leaves on a lone shade tree at the corner rustled in the breeze and gleamed in the sunshine, a solitary sentinel of nature in the, enemy's country where trees and other grow~- ing things wage fruitless war with brick and mortar. A small and swiftly moving shadow swept across the sidewalk. , “Gee, look at that bird,” cried 12- year-old Eddie Holtman. “Just a sparrow,’ said one of the other. boys. “There dain’t any other kind o’ birds ‘cept pigeons.” “Tt's not a sparrow. It’s gota blue top-knot,” argued Eddie. “Watch where it goes.” : The bird alighted in the top of tné shade tree. As.the boys ran to the cor- ner it spied them and took flight again, but looking up through the waving branches they saw something that was. new to most of them—a liitle round bunch of twigs and straws in the fork of a dead limb near the top rof the tree, “Tt’s a nest!” cried Eddie. The other boys were excited. ‘Dare you to go up and get it,” said one “AN right, here goes,”’ replied Eddie Holtman. Spurred by tne novelty of .the. ad- venture and boosted by his comrades, Eddie nimbly climbed the tree, Jaugh- ing when the branches bent under his weight and waving his hand to the watchers below in token that he didn’t} mind a little thing like that. ~ Quickly he reached’ the nest. Rest- ing his weight on a smoke-killed limt with one hand he reached for the nest with the other. There was 2 rending, cracking souna. A little form came shooting down through the branches and lay quite still on the pavement. Dr. F. W. Holtgrewe, ‘who lives on the corner, héard the other boys’ cries and ran out.

It was said 'the Govern- ment had ordered Reyes to delay his arrival,.but this is ash, saben de- nied. . For weeks Americans nite been leav- ing the.city for the United States, and today’s hews has resulted.in a sudden augmentation in the exodus. Tonight's train to Vera Cruz cartied numerous Americans, chiefly Women and children, and many, unable to obtain accommoda- tions on the boats, whose reservations are booked for three weeks in advance, are attempting to get out over the one railroad left opén to the north. Fear that further fighting will be fol- lowed by intervention, and that this will result in scenes of tragic disorder, is expressed on every hand. Belief in Intervention. Belief that the United States will take part in Mexico's affairs was stimulated this morning by the publication in a newspaper here of a dispatch from New York, purporting to be a copy of a Washington dispatch pulNished in a New York newspaper. According to this dispatch President Taft had discussed at length the situa- tion, saying intervention was imminent and furnishnig the details of the move- ment of troops and warships, the land- ing at Vera Cruz, and even the amount of the indemnity the United States would ask at the close of the war. This afternoon the New York news- paper telegraphed a statement, denying the publication or receipt of any such story. But the story has had its effect on the people, and the feeling it has caused may grow ifito a more serious menace for Americans. Special dispatches to FE] Heraldo from Aguas Calientes say an attack upon Torreon began this: morning, and that Durango is in danger of falling into the hands of the rebels. Details of the battle at Torreon have not been re-- ceived. The city is garrisoned by more than 1000 men under Gen. Lojero, ac- cording to the Department of War. The number of rebels is said to be much larger... Durango ‘is garrisoned by less than one thousand men under Col. Cortes. The sutrounding rebel force is said to be of great size. TAFT IS AVERSE TO INTERVENTION Tells Congressmen He Would Act Only to Protect gy Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 6.—Following unofficial dispatches which told of President Diaz's refusal to resign, and of Madero’s declaration that the armistice is ended, and that he will resume fighting, orders were issued this afternoon to commanders of the American troops on the border. They were instructed to tighten up the guard, to permit no American to cross. into Mexico and to stop ail Mexicans, | j whether Federals or insurgents, from crossing into the United States. Earlier in the day Gen. Wood sent an order to the commanding officer at Douglas to ‘release the insurrectos and Federals arrested during the fight at Auga Prieta. The insur- rectos will be turned loose in Doug- las, and the Federals will be turned over to the commanding officer of the Mexican army across the border. All the arms and munitions captured

Wood said it was no less than poisoning a well from which people drink. It is feared by these officials that such reports will result in harm to Americans in Mexico, and they are do- ing their utmost to discount the re- port. The City of Mexico is reported as being the scene of riots and disorder, verging on anarchy. The lives and propérty of foreigners in that city are in grave danger, say dispatches from Ambassador Wilson, who today tele- ico City yesterday, but was quelled by the police without loss of life. So angrily did the thousands of peons behave after the riots were quelled that an order was issued for the closing of shutters of all business houses. The banquet which it was intended to give in honor of the retiring Chil ean miiniater today, was cancelled. Explains to Congressmen. To Congressional callers, the Presi- dent has made it clear that he will wait until it is known beyond a doubt that neither the Diaz Government nor the leaders of the revolution can longer protect Americans and American prop- erty before making any recommenda- tions to Congress, Gen. Wood, Chief of Staff of the army, stated that 25,000 additional troops could be» rushed to the “Texas ‘frontier within six days. There are already on the border one full division, 20,000 officers and men and the War Department is convinced that 156,000 national guardsmen could be mustered into the regular service and dispatched to Mexico within 20 days. This state of preparedness was all worked out before the Mexican trouble started. It has been perfected since the first move- ment of troops to Texas. Taft’s Sanguinary icine. One of President Taft's callers today quoted him as saying that “blood would have to be so deep in Mexico that a man could wade through it’’ before the American army would cross the border. This has been reported to have been the President’s position throughout the Mexican tréubles. Today’s happenings brought out fresh rumors that friction exists between the War and State departments over the handling of the Mexican situation. An assertion was persistently made to- night that Secretary Knox’s resignation in the near future would -not cause great surprise. No confirmation of this report was obtainable. A suggestion that Secretary Knox might retire from the State portfolio was current before the Mexican situa- tion arose. Border Town Reported to Be itn the Hands of Rebels.

SAVE HIS SOUL Would Not Have Him Brea Marriage Vow Even at Cost of Her Life. ASKS QUICK PUNISHMENT

Bride Tells Prosecutors She Would Be Sentenced Be- fore Child Is Born. NEW YORK, May 6.—Frail, but cool young Mrs. Patrick O’Shaughnessey told the Coroner ,today, without a tremor of remorse or fear in her toice, that she had killed her husband last night to save his soul. It was an astounding declaration quite in the same key. with her manner of yesterday when she went into a police station and informed the sergeant that she had shot her hus- band, She wants to be punished at once, be- fore the birth of her child. It would have been easier to commit suicide, she explained, but in that case the husband she loved would have foresworn his relig- ion for the woman who had supplanted her. Rather than see that, she killed him, and rather than add the crime of suicide to murder, she chose to give her- self up, and let the justice of man take its course. “IT hid the revolver in my dress,’’ said rhe little woman, “and came upon George as he was hunting for letters I had found, letters that told me the other woman’s name, the letters he had forgotten, “He said it was true, but that he couldn’t account for it. We talked of her. George loved me through it all, bat when he was with her, he said, he forgot his religion, ee wife and ne com- ing child. “T fell on my knees and asked him if there was no chance for us to be happy together again. He pushed me off. Then I shot him. As he lay on the floor I stooped and kissed his lips. Then I gnxve myself up.’’ Mrs. O’Shaughnessey was committed to the Tombs without bail. Her hus- cand was a store cashier, only 21 years old, and the girl whom he loved better than his wife is but 18. She is heart broken. O’Shaughnessey told her he was unmarried. MAN REFUSES TO PAY HIS BOARD BILL Frank Dearborn Will,.as a Re- sult, Board at Expense of County. Because he objected to the menu at a boarding house in Valley Park, Frank Dearborn will have an. opportunity of comparing it with the meals provided by the Sheriff of St. Louis County for his special ‘guests. Dearborn, who was formerly employed in the St. Louis Plate Glass Co/s fac- tory, has been boarding with Mrs. Jo- seph Babka. Last Tuesday he depart- ed, leaving behind a two-weeks’ board bill of $9. Mrs. Babka reported it to the authorities, and Wednesday Deputy Sheriff Sturdy heard he was in James Hodnett’s saloon. When the officer en- tered, Dearborn was valiantly attacking the free lunch. He told Sturdy that the fare at Mrs. Babka’s did not suit him and that as he had been forced to purchase his meals elsewhere he did not intend to pay her. Yesterday at Clayton, Justice Brooks fined him $ and costs, amount- ing to $31. He will be the Sheriff's guest for 31 days. CONTRACTORS ISSUE STRIKE ULTIMATUM Declare Carpenters Must Return to Work or Labor Will Be Imported to St. Louis. ~ The General Contractors’ Association issued a statement following a meeting yesterday afternoon that if the carpen- ters’ strike is not settled by Tuesday the contractors will bring to St. Louis from other cities enough carpenters to complete work now under way. The meeting yesterday was called hurriedly following the-publication of a report that two companies had agreed to meet the demands of the union car- penters. Representatives of these firms denied that they had agreed to the ad- vance. The contractors sald they desired that the differences be submitted to arbi- tration, but that the carpenters had re- fused to arbitrate. SELLS CIGARS BELOW COST

Salesman Declares He Promoted Trade at Own Expense. George Wilmeth, 2 years old, a salesman for the Gray Cigar Co., ar- rested yesterday afternoon on a charge that he embezzled $64 of the company’s funds, said last night that he did not mean to divert the money to his own uses. In order to build up a trade as sales- man, he says, he sold cigars at cut prices intending to make up the differ- ence out of his salary of $4 a week. He is married and lives at 445 Cook FIRE IN A PICTURE SHOW Fire in the operator's box in Frank Reide's tent picture show at Prairie and Carter aventes last nigiit ef acd exeiie- ment among the more than 1 hat

ENLAW “FREES A FATHER After Hearing Daughter’s Story Coroner’s Jury Holds Man Blameless for Killing Employer Laughed at Her Plight When. Called to Account.

VICTIM 51 YEARS OLD; GIRL WAS ONLY 18

sister of Slain Man, Declar- ing She Will Prosecute, Produces Pathetic Letter From Stenographer to.Man for Whom She Worked. ae 7, Te PHILADELPHIA, May 6.—Amid Iin- tense excitement and unrestrained cheering, Frank McMahon, who shot and killed George Leary, 51 years o!4, to avenge his 18-year-old daughter, was exonerated by Coroner Ford to- day and freed from custody. Impressed by the unwritten law and the testimony in the case, Coroner Ford, in addressing the jury, said: “I consider this an important case. In freeing this man I do not ask you gentlemen to take any more respon- sibility than I am willing to shoulder. am. responsible for this‘act.” The -tragedy ‘took place Thursday night, when MeMahon, who has a sa- loon at Second and Spruce streets, called vpon Leary, who.had employed the girl &s a sienographer, to marry her. Father Tells of Shooting. The inquest proceedings were brief, and there. was no testimony to show that McMahon's life was at any time in danger to substantiate a plea of self- Gefense. When asked if he wished to make a statement, McMahon said he Was 48 years old, and was the father of five children. He recited the story of i‘? rage when Leary laughed at him aid asked him, ‘“‘What business is it of yours?” He described the killing and showed no regret. Miss Amna Leary, who lived with is determined to avenge his death by having McMahon fe-arrested. She says that she has a number of letters that will aid the District Attorney in the prosecution. “One of these letters is as follows: “PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21. “Dear George: “You have asked me more than onee for my Views on the subject which at present lies nearest our hearts, or to be more correct heay- lest on our minds, and I do not. think I have ever given them. Soe now I have @ few moments to myself and thought I would write and see what you. think.of these same views. “Of course, as: you have said many times, there are only three things to do. The first, to kill this being, looks so heartless, cruel, dearie, that I am sure you will not blame me for shrinking from this. I am sure it cannot be right or just for us to call this being into existence and then, because i does not suit our convenience to have it, de- @troy it this way. You will sée that it is only natural that I should take this view, and I am sure you have the same idea yourself.

If you have made any promise, either to your- self or anyone else regarding this, do not think it would be my intention to have you break this promise. Then, again, there is the question of the time.

The winners of the banners are in doubt in West End Division No. 1, and Cen- tral Division No. 1.

MAJOR’S PLEA IS AGAINST TOLERTON Attorney-General Declares Legis- lature Had a Right to Fix Rider to Appropriation. JEFFERSON CITY, May 6.—Attor- ney-General Major today filed a replv for State Auditor Gordon in the man- damus suit instituted against the Auditor to compel him to pay the sal- ary of State Game and Fish Commis- sicner. Tolerton. The Attorney-Gen- eral contends that the Legislature had full authority to place a rider on the appropriation Sill under the terms of which no part of Mr. Toler- ton's salary could he paid following the going into effect of the act. The contention that Gov. Hadley virtually annulled the rider by his objections to it when he approved the appropriation bill, is held by the Attorney-General to be unjust for the reason that the Governor had no au- thority to enact legislation, and that he would have been so doing would it have been possible for him to thwart the purpose of the Legislature. Although the return is quits lengthy, yet the Attorney-General's

propositions! If the Governor suc- ceeded ‘in defeating the purposes of tho rider, then he defeated the en- tire section; if the entire section is incperative, then there is not one cent for the payment of the salary of the State Game and Fish Commissioner. Ee LOUIS: POST- DISPATCH.

WHISTLER “PUPIL, A NEW MASTER FOUND IN LONDON Loyalty to Eccentric Painter Kept Him in Background for Years.

rinet - EXHIBIT AF. 70

Chance Brings to Light Work of Walter Greaves, Long Neglected Genius. Copyright, 1911, by Press Publishing Co. 1d.) (New York Worl LONDON, May 6.—A veritable tragedy of art is revealed by the exhibition at Goupil’s Galleries of paintings by Wal- ter Greaves, who, although 70 years old, -displays his works for the first time. Critics who laud Whistler’s genius to the skies declare that the tardy exhibi- tion discovers his ‘‘unconscionable self- ishness and remorseless vanity.” All artistic London is eagerly discuss- ing this question: ‘“‘Was Greaves a pupil of James Abbott MacNeill Whistler or was Whistler a pupil of Walter Greaves?’’ , In the datalogue of the exhibition Greaves describes himself as ‘‘a pupil of Whistler.’’ It is impossible to doubt that he worshipped Whistler as his god of art.. He was under bond to him nevér to exhibit his work without pro- claiming himself Whistler's pupil. But there are pictures of Cremorne, Batter- sea Bridge and other scenes on the Thames which Greaves painted before he met Whistler which bear a striking resemblance to Whistler’s pictyres on the same subjects noW in the Tate Gal- lery. Show Hand of Master. Plainly some of Greaves’ pictures are painted in imitation of Whistler, but others show the hand of a master as original and decisive as Whistler him- self. Greaves has struggled through life in poverty and obscurity. It seems amaz- ing that Whistler never did anyting to bring to him the fame which he must have known was his due. -Yet Greaves speaks of Whistler with profound awe, as if he were hypnotized still by that strange genius. Greaves is the son of a skiff builder at Chelsea. When painting river scenes, Turner often hired boats from Greaves’ father. When the younger Greaves was orly 16 he painted some remarkable pic- tures, and Turner took Whistler to see them. The result was that thereafter Greaves practically lived in Whistler’s studio, painting works which Whistler praised, but forbade him to _ exhibit. Then Whistler taught Greaves to etch and let him sell his etchings: Keeps Pledge to Whistler. Of late years Greaves has supported himself by his etchings. At the same time, religiously keeping his pledge to Whistler, he stored his paintings un- framed, unmounted, in his cellar and in unoccupied rooms of his humble dwell- ing. Eight weeks ago a lady who had ad- mired some of Greaves’ etchings in an Oxford street shop called at his home and told him the preces he asked for his etchings were absurdly low. She took ihe manager of Gerepit’s galleries to see Greaves and, being shown the artist’s hidden, neglected pictures, the connols- seur immediately recognized a new mas- ter. Greaves appears young. With dark hair, a long gray mustache and marked- ly aquiline features, his appearance is striking, but his manner is of intense simplicity. His life story, as now told, cannot but give the impression that his masterful patron deliberately kept him in the background. Yet he has nothing but gratitude for Whistler and speaks of him reverently. CHILDREN’S FARM OPENS UP AGAIN Little Ones of Poor Will Be Cared for Vacation Time at Eureka, Mo.

The service was inaugurated Friday by?B. F. Buhs, recently elected president of the railroad. The train leaves St. Louis at 6:20 p. m. and reaches Kansas City at 1:2 o'clock the next morning. Although the Missouri Pacific has for some time operated a-number of steel mail cars, it was not until another as- signment of the vehicles arrived last week that‘it was possible to equip a cémplete train with them. The cars Bre 60 feet long, and, be- sides other conveniences for the mail clerks, are even furnished with broil- ers for the vlerks to cook luncheon. The St. Louis-Kansas City train on this schedule recently made a swift run of 233 miles in 347 minutes. The Missouri Pacific Outing Club met last night at the Railroad Y. M. C.

STATE SCHOOL DATA ASKED BY EVANS Intimates That There Must Be No Padding of the Returns. JEFFERSON CITY, May 6.—Wil- liam P. Evans, State Superintendent of Public Schools, today sent an of- ficial communication to every County Clerk in Missouri asking co-operation in obtaining correct school attend- ance and upon which returns the

191}. Evans indicates plainly that his department has the authority to make corrections, and will not hesitate to do so when evidence is apparent of erroneous returns, Next year the school money will be apportioned under the new law, which establishes the basis upon the number of. children attending the public schools, and the number of the teach- ers employed, but for the present year the old method will be used. Evidence that the school] census was padded at St. Joseph, where the per cent of school children was nearly 55 to the total population, and with “a school attendance of less than 12,000 to a total school enumeration of more than 42,000, as well as heavy padding at Moberly, caused the last Legisla- ture to change the law.

Russian Immigrant James O’Leary Retains Ten- Ruble Gold Piece. James O'Leary, an Hast St. Louis ex- pressman, will be tried in Justice. Wil- liam’s Court Tuesday on a charge of taking a 10-ruble gold-piece from Gad Kolawitch, a Russian immigrant. Kalo- witch says he gave the gold-piece to O’Leary in payment for taking his trunk from the Relay Depot to 601 Mis- blocks. He considers the charge ex- horbitant, as the coin was worth %. O'Leary says Kolawitch offerd him cigar coupons and finally gave him a silver dollar for hauling the trunk. Kolawitch says the things which O’Leary mistook for coupons were ruble notes, worth 50 cents each in Russia. TO SHOW HOME PRODUCTS Coliseum Secured for ‘‘Made in St. Louis’? Exhibit.

Fisher's yacht broke down in the middle ef the Mississippi River and Maxfield came to the rescue in his yacht. Miss Benton was on board the Fisher boat. | Fisher. has been almost like a father to his sister since she was 6 years old.

WHEAT Bought Heavily at $1.02, and Market ds Now Around 95 Cents. / CHICAGO. May 6.—J. Ogden Ar- mour, Bd Lichstern and millers in Minneapolis and Duluth have been hard hit in May wheat. Gossip has it that they will pocket losses of be- tween $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. They bought heavily of the May option when the price was around $1.02. The outlook for wheat proved splendid and the price went to 85 cents. The syndicate accepted ‘delivery of 6,000,- 000 bushels and had worked the price back to 98 cents. July and September are selling 10 cents a bushel 4is- count. May wheat, which sold at 98 cents yesterday, opened at 87 cents today, sold at 96 cents in about a minute, at 95 cents 10 seconds later, gnd in the panicky selling which followed the price broke to 93% cents. When the bell struck there was no support and as soon as this was discovered all the “tailers” and smart ones who were following the bull leaders tried Benton, hostess for her

to sell every bushel of wheat pos- sible. There was panic until th close, which was at 94% cents. The country has shipped tn 2,000,000 bush- els in two days to be delivered to the overloaded bulls, CAR JUMPS TRACK, NO DOUBLE WEDDING One of the Bridegrooms Went Into Cafe, and So Missed Connections for Clayton.

Graham and Rariden of Boston are other receivers looming up well with the stick, while Bresnahan brings the fact home by leading the Card‘nals.

Though the Athletics are not first in the American League pennant race they are well represented in the batting mar- athon, Mackmen occupying the straight, place and show positions. E.

All -the team owes something to Roger, if only fight- ing spirit. The club is not normally a great one in make-up. It looks weak in individual talent, in the outfield woe- fully so; it has an incompetent pitch- ing staff; it is well equipped in catchers and has a good infield. It is, briefly, minus the two essentials to greatness— hitting and pitching. Yet every club in the League, with the exception of Pittsburg, has considered the Cardinals a hard team to beat.

BROWNES UNABLE 10 WIN WITH A OF FOUR SLABNEN Tigers Feast on the Offerings of Recruit Pitchers George and Gregory. ~AILEY STOPS SLAUGHTER Wallacean Tribe Gets 12 Hits, but Only Four Runs Off George Mullin. ANAGER RHODY WALLACE Mi used four pitchers in an effort to stop the Tigers of Detroit, but the Junglemen annexed the fourth suc- cessive contest of the series at Sports- inan’s Park yesterday afternoon by a kcore of & to 4. It was a slugging match in which the Tigers made the most of their hits while the Browns erred at critical times, “Lefty George started the heavy work but was bombarded and retired in the third in favor of Young Gregory. lie failed to baffle the Tigers and Bill Bailey went on the job at the start of the fourth. Bill did fairly well, but got in an argument with Umpire Per- rine*in the ninth and was banished. Barney Pelty succeeded Bailey and pitched to two batters when the game ended. It was the second victory of the series for George Mullin. The big right-hander was found for a dozen safeties, but kept them well scattered. Shift in Wallace’s Line-Up. Manager Wallace presented a changed lineup. He benched Pat Newnam and Jimmy Murray, who ‘haven’t been hit- ting, and in their places put Dudley Criss and Paul Meloan; the former White Sox outfielder. Each new mem- ber poled three hits, one of Criss’ being a homer into the right field seats with a runner on the base, and another a slashing double to the right field wall. The batting order was also shaken up. Bertie Shotton is the new lead-off man, with Austin still in second place. Meloan and Laporte hit next while Hoffman, who formerly started, is now batting fifth. Clarke, Wallace, Criss ‘and the pitcher follow. After curving over a third strike on Drake, who subbed in left ‘for Davy Jones, George passed Bush. Cobb hit a single to center and when Hoffman fumbled the ball, Bush chased to third and Cobb to second, Tyrus danced off second and drew a throw’ from Clarke. The ball went to center field and Bush and Cobb tallied. Cobb Is a Nervy Chap. Cobb exhibited some of his great dar- ing on this play. He failed to stop or slow up at third, but kept chasing for the plate. Seeing that. Hoffman and ‘Wallace were slow in handling the ball, he raced in and slid over the plate. It was @ great piece of work. The Browns got one of the tallies back in their second. Laporte started by slamming through Moriarty for a Wase. After Hoffman raised to Cobb, Clarke hit to Mullin, who had. la- porte headed off at second, but Bush dropped the ball. Wallace forced Clarke, but Criss hit the first bali pitched against the right field wali for a double, Laporte scoring. The third was the real bad round for the Browns. Drake hit a single :> Bush followed to the same ter- ritory with a double. Hoffman m's- , Judged a drive from Cobb’s bat and the ball sailed over his head for e triple, Drake and Bush scoring. Craw- ford scored Cobb with -a single to left. At this stage Manager Wallace chased George and injected Gregory into the pastime. Delahanty hit to eqnter for a base, and when Hoffman made a wide return, Crawford went to third and Delahanty to. second. Moriarty made the first out on a pop to Criss. Gainer, though, followed with a singlesto center that scored the base runners. Stanage also sin- sled, but Mullin popped to Criss, and Drake, up for the second time in the _inning, fouled to Shotton. Shotton Scores Another Run, The Browns raised their total to two in their third. Shotton opened with a pass while Austin singled, Gainer, Mullin and Stanage let Meloan's tp drop safely for a single, filling the _ bases. Laporte hit a sacrifice fly to Drake and Shotton scored. Hoffman, however, ended it by Blapping into a couble play. Tn the sixth, with one gone, Wallace kot @ scratch single. Criss followed with a long drive into the right flela feats for a home run, Wallace trot- ting in ahead of Dudley. 8ST. LOUIS. AB.

Powell and Gregg Slated to Pitch in Today’s Game HE leaderless Naps of 7 Cleveland are scheduled to meet the Browns in the first of a two-game series at Sportsman's Park this after- noon, starting at 3 o'clock. Since James R. McGuire’s resig- nation as manager of the Cleve- land team, George Stovall, the first baseman, has been in charge of the team. He will probably nominate young Gregg, from the Coast, to op- pose the Browns. Manager Wallace of the Browns says he will probably use Jack Powell on the mound. He wil! likely send the same team that faced the Tigers yesterday against the Naps today.

Look at the Difference, HE Tigers made 18 hits and the 7 Browns one less. Still speedier base work and four errors by the Browns enabled the Tigers to tally twice as many runs, Paul Meloan’s debut was a corker. The East St. Louls boy got three hits in four efforts and made one of the feature plays of the game. In the fifth inning he chased over near the right fleld foul line and gathered in _—, 9 drive while on the full run, inning, Shotton speared drive within a yard of It was the best catch In the same Delahanty’s foul the pavilion wall. of the game. Had Hoffman not misjudged Cobb's drive the Browns would have come closer. At that «the Tigers took to the offerings of George and Gregory like fish to water. George Gets Terrible Pounding, In the third inning George pitched to four batters. They poled out two singles, a double and a triple. Three of the six batters who faced Gregory hit safely. Bailey is accused of making unkind re- marks to Perrine after the latter called a drive from Cobb's bat foul in the ninth. Perrine chased Bill, and Pelty had to take the mound after pitching only three or four balls in his warmup. Qvery member of the Detroit team hit safely. Bush, Cobb, Crawford and Dela- hanty each got two. Bush made the two Tiger errors. He dropped a thrown ball from Mullin in the second on a force play and also received a black mark for dropping a foul from Bailey's bat. 7 RUSTLERS LOSE TO GIANTS IN SWATFEST BOSTON, ser 6.—In a_ heavy hitting ame, marred by erratic fielding and wrang- ing with the umpires, New York defeated woeten today, 15 to 9.

SIPPLE PLAYS FINE GAME Negotiates 48 Holes in 85 Strokes, the Best in a Field of 62 Player-Members. A. E. Wittaker and G. H. Willetts will receive silver cups for their good golf playing in the opening tournament of the season at Nor- mandie yesterday afternoon. The event was a handicap 18 hole medal play affair and the scores turned in were very ordinary. This was main- ly because the members have been playing on the temporary greens and when they got on the regular “vel- vet” their puts were much too strong. Whittaker had a 30-stroke allow- ance. He made the rounds .of the 18-hole course in 108, which gave him a net'score of 73. Willetts had 20 strokes handicap. He went around in 95 which gave him a net score of 75. The two silver cups were to be awarded to the men making the

best handicap scores. W. C. Sipple, chairman of the golf committee of the club played better golf than any of the 62 contestants in the tournament. Mr. Sipple was only allowed 6-strokes handicap. He went around in 85 which is mighty good golf. ; A special prize was also offgred for the man who could pole out the greatest drive. A. E. Martin walloped the little guttapercha sphere 242 This was in a class by it- self and carried off the honors. Each man was allowed to drive three balls. The tournament started early but because of the large num- ber of entries some of the contest- ants had to finish up by the light of the brand new moon. A dinnér and dance followed. SMITH WINS FROM ST. L. U. YOUNGSTERS The Smith Academy baseball team humbled the St. Louis University un- dergrads at St.:Louis U. Park yester- day, 8 to 3. Coach Tucker’s red and white athletes showed their old time class and at no time did the blue and white have a look in.

e

. Men Who Run Baseball Games Make Bad Decis-y ions Every Day, Owing to Nuniber of Verdicts Ren- dered. umpire has admitted that he erred in making a decision. A N The same indicator handler says that he and his colleagues are human beings, the same as the rest of us, and that the fans should over- look a mistake now and then. The person in question is ‘‘Jack’’ Sheri- dan, who, because of length of serv- ice and advanced age, will hereafter be known as John. Sheridan made the confession in St. Louis last week. It is quite a contrast to what Frank, alias ‘‘Silk’’ O’Loughlir he of “Strike Tuh!”’ fame, once told Secretary Lloyd HW. Rickart of the Browns. “Silk” and the secretary en- gaged in an argument while riding from Boston to St. Louis a year or so ago. Rickart told O’Loughlin that he thought he had made a ‘“‘close decision” in the game the day before. ‘There are no close decisions,”’ was ‘“‘Silk’s’’ fiery comeback. Now Sheridan comes forth and says that he and all his fellow workers make mistakes. “But, even if I do say it myself,”’ said the veteran person in blue, “I pride myself in relating that only once in my long and varied career as an umpire, was I required to reverse a decision. 4 “Tt came on a play a good deal like the one on which I erred at Sportsman’s Park, Thursday—the ‘hit by a batted ball’ play. In the St. Louis case, I should have declared Hoffman safe at second as, although he was hit by the batted ball, it touched Pitcher Willet first. When Sheridan Had to Reverse Decision. d« E play on which I reversed 4 ee the decision happened in Cleve- land. Billy Evans was umpir- ing on the bases, while I was calling the balls and strikes. Lajoie was. on first base and a grounder was hit at the second baseman. ball, it rolled up his chest and curved over to and struck Lajoie. ‘Evans called Lajoie out, but big Lar- ry appealed to me and I reversed the decision, being in a -better position to see the play than Evans, who was near second base and unable to take in ‘the situation as well as I. “The umpires are generally wrong, ir the opinion of the fickle fans. Do we make mistakes? Sure, we do. Ask a man to do most any task, no matter how slieht it is, more than 100 times, and he will blunder. -Well, the umpire aver- ages close to 200 decisions a day, tak- ing in the called balls and strikes and the base rulings. A man wouldn't be a human being if he could call every onc of those perfectly. “But there’s no excuse for an umpire blundering because he doesn’t know the rules. That kind of man isn’t wanted. It is mistakes of judgment on which we evr. They are the natural kind, and ‘he kind which bring the kicks from the fans. “They roar and roar, but after you have been in the business a while you learn to turn a deaf ear to that kind of stuff. It doesn’t bother you a bit when you get accustomed to it. Ignorance Cause of Fans’ Knock at ‘‘Umpes.’’ (4 HE fans, like som® really smart}. 4 baliplayers, Gon’t. always know the rules, and sometimes they yell when they have no kick coming. “In that play at Sportsmpn’s Park Thursday, it was up to some of the Browns’ players to protest my decision in calling Hoffman out. Had they done that I would have reversed myself. But] it wasn’t’ my place -to tell them that I head erred. It was their business to le on the play ney He fumbled the}j,decision that

men in the business made a blunder. It happened several seasons ago when the White Sox and Cubs were playing a se- ries in Chicago. “The Cubs were at bat, with a man on third, and Johnny Evers on first. The Cubs wanted to draw a throw to second in an effort to let the man on third score, as the one run was needed badly. Evers stole second, and even slowed up a trifle in the hope that the catcher would make the throw. But he held the ball, preferring to play for the Latter alone. Evers was so intént on coaxing that throw that he dashed back to first, presumably to attempt to steal socond again, and bring the ball down that way. “When he chased back'to first base, Filder Jones, then managing the Sox, came rushing in from center fteld. took the ball away from the pitcher and came to me, Iw standing be- hind the pitcher’s mound, and he asked’ me if he couldn’t go to second base and retire Evers, who was still standing on_ first base, “It wasn’t up to me to tell him how to play the game, so I had to keep mum. He should have taken the hal! and stood in the base path and waited for Evers to return to second base, where he belonged. “I just relate this little yarn to cice the fact that even the smartest base- ball men, like Jones and Evers, some- times make blunders. So why shouldn’t the umpires make mis- takes? Ballplayers Waste Time in Protesting. ° UT one of the most amusing things on a ball field to the . B umpire is the sight of an e@u- tire team crowding about the man at the plate, or base, prrotesting sone they believe unfair. Even if an umpire makes a mistake of judgment, he cannot reverse the verdict, no matter how much protest- ing or kicking is done, If it’s a mis- take of the rules that’s another mat- ter. “Kieking is getting to be a. thing of the past, however. The players don’t do it nearly as much now as in fofmer years, I like to see a little of it, sure, as it shows that the tearm is fighting and nd eager to win. In for-

mer days I believe that many teams tried to bulldoze the umpires in an effort to intimidate him. But I don't think that can be done nowadays. In fact an umpire who is ‘feazed’ by the bluffing and threats of players is»’t wanted. “Are the umpires in the American League superior to those in the Na. tional League? I have heard that asked by persons who should know, twvo. They undoubtedly have some compe- tent men in the National, one I know to be—old Bob Emslie. Of course te is serving as a kind of substituce now, but I believe he is a good man to run a ball game. “If the umpires in the American League are more capable and effi- ciént it is probably due to the pres- ence of. Mr. Johnson at the head of league. He backs up his men. Mr Lynch is a good man, too, at the head of the National League, but he hasn't been in office long enough. “As for the different types of fans we find around the circuit, I must say that they are about the same. Quite naturally in a city where the team is a loser, they protest more and louder than the ‘bugs’ in cities where the team wins oftener. But the fans are gradually learning to appreciate good baseball. Enemy's Good Work Is Alicaya Cheered. dé \ OWADAYS the men who go to see a baseball game will ap- plaud the fine work of the op- position mare so than in the past. That, is as it should be. The fact that St. Louls has supported so many losers is the best proof in the world that it is a good baseball town, “It's like Boston. Several years ago when the famous Pilgrims began “6

That shows what loyal fans they have in New En- gland. “The team began to fall but the fans had faith in the management. Youl) can’t build a club In a year or two and maybe not in five. But you have to keep trying. M@here is ne stich thing as friend- ship in baseball as far aS one magnate helping the other, You have to build ‘some fellow owner to give or sell you @ good baliplayer. “That's where the importance of a scout comes in. He plays a bigger part in thé making of a baseball club now than he did in former years. But my opinion is that there are few mén cap- able of filling the position. It really demands many talents, this scouting] se dred who can go out and pick up a player in the rough who will with rea- sonable certainty _ develop into major league caliber. | “Quite often a single player will prove the making of a ball club. That minds me of the time when Larry La-' joie, Bill Bernard and ‘Chick’ Fraser were prohibited by the courts from play- ing in Pennsylvania. “One day Connie Mack told me. that he bélieved he could win the pennant without that great trio if he could just unearth one good pitcher. He conclud- ed by asking me if I knew where he could find a first-class twirler. “I informed him that he could get ‘Rube’ Waddell, who was then pitch- ing on the Pacific’ Coast, for $150. He asked mie if I thought the ‘Rube’ was worth that. I told him that he was worth’ many times that amount. He sent on the $150. Waddell reported in a few days, and it is now history what the great left-hander actomplished. “I didn’t unearth Waddell, but was responsible for his presence with the Athletics and in the American League.”

TENTED AUTO SHOW FOR PROPHET'S WEEK First Big Open Air Event in Country Scheduled for St. Louis Trade, Oct. 2 to 7. —————

The first open air automobile show ever held in an important eity in this country is announced for St.. Louts for Veiled Prophet's week, Oct. 2 to 7, 1914. The show is to be held in some large enclosure covered with | !m- mense circus tents,,and {is to be dil- vided into two parts, one for pleasure vehicles, both gus.and. electric, the other for delivery wagons and trucks for heavy hauling. The show is to be given by the St Louis Automobile Manufacturers and Pealers’ Association, of which about

60 of the leading dealers and builders of cars in this city are members. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the association, held Thurséay night, this was finally decided and 4 show committee was appointed, c.n- sisting of H. B. Krenning of the Dorris Motor Car Co., John H. Ph?l- lips 6f the Phillips Automobile Co., Samuel Breadon of the Western Au- tomobile Co., D. B. Brownback of the Stearns Automohile Co., W. C. Ander- son of the Ford :branch house and tlie president, F. R. Tate, of the United Motors St. Louis Co. The particular reason for holding a show at that late time of the year is thag then the 1912 models will just be ready for display. A show in February, it is: clainted, can only dis- play cars that have been on the streets for six months. Another im- portant reason is that during Veiled Prophet week greatly reduced rates of fare granted -by the railroads bring to St. Louls tens of thousands of vis- itors who would not otherwise core, even for an automobile show. The Show Committee is to meet this week and select the location for the show. A manager will then be appointed, a Show Committee chaitr- man selected and then the active work will begin, for it is announced that this is to be not only the biggest auto show ever held but the biggest single event of any kind ever at- tempted here. 12 ENTRIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY RUN Entries of 12 cars for the Me- morial day reliability fun. of the Missouri Automobile Association were received by the contest com- mittee up to Saturday afternoon. The cars entered are the Overland, Regal, Kline, Kisselkar, Cole, Case, Speed- well, Stearns, Halladay, Marion, Sel- den and Fal. These were all entered in the deal- ers’ classes according to horsepower rating. The entries close with M. Kline of the Rex Automobile Co., 1623 South Jefferson avenue, on May 20. The entry fees range from $2 to $5 per car. There are four events for the pro- gram—manufacturers’ and dealers’ endurance run, owners’. sociability run, electric pleasure vehicle en- durance run and the commercial de- livery and truck endurance run. The prize list consists of cups, au- tomobile supplies and accessories. There are in all 12 prizes. In some of the events the cars will go over the 84:7 course three times. In oth- ers the cars will cover the course once. Starting in Clayton, at the Inter- section of Meramec and Henderson streets, the course is north on the North and South road to Olive Street road, thence west on Olive Street road to the Baxter road, just beyond Rellefontaine, leaving the Baxter road at the intersection of Clarkson road and then to the Kehrs Mill road, to the Manchester roaq at Baldwin, passing through Baldwin and Man- chester, continuing east on Man- chester road to the North and South road, going north on same to the starting point. Opposite the grand-

stand at the starting point will be}; constructed a bulletin board and stand for the officials. | RUN TO KANSAS CITY JULY 4 PLANNED The board of directors of the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers’ and Deajers’ Association has decided upon a reliability run from St. Louis to Kansas City and return, to end here on July 4. As planned, the run would start June 30 and reach Kan- sag City Saturday afternoon, July 1. The car crews and officials would stay over Sunday there and Monday morning would start for home, bringing along with them Kansas City entrants for a return rellability run, reaching St. Louls the after- noon of July 4. Here brake and technical exam}]- nations would be made of the St. Louis cars and the Kansas City con- testants would go nome next morn- ing. Their tests woul@ be made at home and the final score,would be averaged and a decision reached as to whether St. Legis or Kansas City had made the best record. A big cup would go to the associ- ation thus winning, to be competed for the following year in the same way. There will also be several valu- able individual prizes for the cars with the best records, RAMBLER GOES ABROAD. Announcement has been made by the Thomas B.

SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1911. [DORRIS WILL BUILD BIG AUTO PLANT The Dorris Motor Caf Co. has ac- quired groung on Laclede and For- est Park boulevard, to the west of Sarah street,~which will aggregate in extent two city Blocks. On this it is proposed to erect an automobile factory to cost nearly $300,000, in which will ‘be installed the latest equipment; in quantities to increase the present’ outppt of automobiles and delivery wagons and. trucks about 800 per cent. For the past three- years the com- pany has had orders for many more cars than if.could produce. This led to the determination to build a new plant. The present plant at the northeast corner of Forest Park and Sarah, will be continued, as it is*new and finely equipped. : The company now has 200 feet on the north side of Laclede avenue; 375 feet on Sarah street, 300 feet on Foér- est Park-boulevard, besides the par- cel on the southwest corner of Sarah and Forest Park boulevard. The first 100 feet in the 4100 block “was pur- chased a year ago from Mrs. Grace A. Leathe. GLIDDEN PATHFINDER REACHES CANADA The Glidden Reciprocity Tour Path- finders, driving the Stevens-Duryea car, have “found” the path from Washington, D. C., to Canada. Dust- covered and happy the party in the A A, A. Touring Information Board's car reached Ottawa Thursday, May 4, having picked the route for the contest which will leave Washinz- ton June 19. They encountered varied weathsr on the trip, balmy sunshine, wind, raih, hail and snow, and while Chair- man Butler of the A. A. A. Contest Beard, Chairman Longstroth ‘of the Touring Information Bureat. who conducted the run, E. lh Ferguson, the veteran route marker, and the of- ficial photographer, were glad when their work was finished, they never- theless pronounced the trip “not 80 bad after all.” Excellent hotel service has been en- c@untered by the pathfinders. all alcng the route. People in the auto- ‘recall Glidden tours of former days when the weary motorists were obliged to sleep on floors, piazzas, tents, railroad trains and in barns with the horses, but nothing of that sort will be encoun; tered this season. Accommodations for between 800 and 400 persons can be obtained all along the line. ae ee seed TO EQUIP 500 TAXIS. A. N.- Stanley, local manager of the Fisk Rubber Co., is notified.that his company has closed a contract, which took effect May 1, with the New York Taxicab Co., for Fisk tires and Fisk removable rims, to equip 500 taxicabs in operation in New York City. With this new contract, Fisk bolted-on tires, and Fisk removable rims will be found on more than 30 per cent of the taxicabs in the United States. In order to equip the wheels of the New York taxicabs to take the remov- able rim, the big job is being done in New .Jersey. Each cab is to carry four tires on removable rims and one spare tire ready for quick change _ while at the tire station of the transportation company, two or three hundred tires al- ready inflated on the rims will be kept for emergency purposes. K-R-I-T AGENCY CHANGED The agency for 8t. Louis, BRasterr Missouri and Southern Illinois, for the little Krit car has been placed with the Albert Sterne Motor Car “o., 4127 Olive street. Albert Sterne an- nounces that 1911 models will resch St. Louls of the regular and the underslung cars by Wednesday next.* a AUTO-RUN FOR JUNE. The Missouri Automobile Association announces a reliability run of three days from S8t. Louis down * through southeast Missouri. The trophy will be a handsome cup donated by the Ar- cadia Country Club. A pathfinder will be started in a few days to map the proposed route. st REEVES WITH U. S. CO. Alfred Reeves has tendered his resig- nation as general manager of the As- sociation of Licensed Automobile Man- ufacturers and on May 1, will become general sales manager of the United States Mater Co., which markets Max- well, Stoddard-Dayton, Columbia, Brush and Sampson cars, with headquarters in New York.

REGAL GOES BACK TO NEWSPAPER ADS There is convincing proof of the value of the daily newspaper as a selling agent in the national cam- pafgn for this year by the Regal Mo- tor Car Co. of Detrott, Mich. An au- tomobile factory for the first t*me has left the magazine pages for the eul- ‘umnms of the newspapers of the cities ‘and the villages to create a demand for.the automobile and to prove that the car advertised gives a brimming measure of value for the money paid out. Within the last eight or 10 years the magazine has grown like a Gar- gantua, spreading his enormous hand over all the firesides of the country. This growth started when the manu- facturer accepted as a fact the maga- zine man’s statement that his medi‘im was the shortest reach to the con- sumer’s purse. Then a mad race started. Everyone was so eager to create a national demand for bis article that the advertising sections of the magazines began to crowd the literature for space. Today it is au open question whether the magazines are selling for their stories or for the advertisements. Uncle Sam re- cently decided to find out by propos- ing to charge a hit extra for the ad- vertisements. Now it is the news- paper. “BULL DOG” IN MEXICO. At Jarita, Republic of Mexico, a little Mexican village, 36 kilometers away from Laredo, Tex., on the other side of.the Rio Grande, is quartered for the night in the best ‘‘adobe’’ shack that the town affords, the crew of the Abbot-Detroit “Bull dog’ as the guests of the.politico or Mayor of the town. The past week has been a strenuous one for the “Bull Dog’’ and its crew, owing to the fact that for over a week, heavy rains have made the roads sog- gy-and gluey and in adition they have met with a great deal of trouble in ob- taining the proper papers and passports net@ssary to cross the border at Nuevo Laredo. The complete distance to the city of Mexico by road is about 1200 miles as near as gan be figured and the route to be taken by the “Bull dog’’ Hes though Bustamanee, Monterey, Rinco- nada, Saltillo, San Sabvador, Tropic of Cancer,. Montezuma, San Luis Potosi, Jaral de Barrios, Dolores Hidalgo, Gon- Zales, Queretaro, San Nichgjas, Hul- chapan, Tocalo and Atzcapotzaico. The “Bull Dog’’ started from New York City. ‘ FORERUNNER OF AUTO FUNERAL IS HERE The forerunner of the automohile funeral in St. Louis is at hand, It is a combination casket wagon afd possible hearse, built for the Wagaer Undertaking Co. by the Dorris Motor Car Co. The wagon is one of the most beau- tiful vehicles ever seen here. It is finished in Brewster green and jet black, has hand-polished plano fin‘sh and is elaborately carved. All of the mountings are of polished silver. The body is mounted on a regu'’ar Dorris delivery chasis and carries the regular motor, but has a spectal frame and axle. The total weight is 3200 pounds, It is the prediction of local under- takers that within a year automobile funerals will be common in this city. Motor hearses will be used and mourners will use large limousine cars, carrying seven passengers. This will reduce the cost to abeut the same figure as horse-drawn funerals. o—-- RECHARGING REDUCED.

3 the snow driven roads of Tussia or Alaska, at Christ’s Church, New Zealand, ~ ‘on the pampas of the Argentine, in South Africa, Japan, India or Australis (and there are Regal ‘‘20s’’ running in all of these countries), it is always the center of attraction and the source of much favorable comment, The Foreign Press has devoted page after page to it. The best known motor journal of London, England, The Car, in a recent issue, devotes a two-page editorial to its description, a portion of which is as follows: ‘‘In appearance The Regal ‘‘20’’ Underslung is the only popular priced roadster designed for the purpose; on the market today. Those of you who have driven cars know. there is as much difference between a roadster and a touring car as there is between a speed boat and a cruiser, and yet most manufacturers will try. to make you think that the same ehassts can be made to answer the two purposes equally well. The discerning purchaser, however, knows instinctively the characteristics of the type of car that he wants. The roadster type is essentially a two-pas- senger car with plenty of power and speed, designed for rapid but safe transit. Right here we want to emphasize one word—SAFETY. Safety means the elimination of the tendency to turn turtle, skid or otherwise get beyond the control of the driver. This condition can only be produced by lowering the ‘center of gravity and by properly distributing the weight. The underslung construction, is the ONLY SOLUTION of this problem. Its adoption marks a milestone in automobile progress—a step in advance— an absolutely necessary feature—which few manufacturers, as yet, have been wise enough to appropriate. Engineers have been utilizing this, the underslung: construction, for many years on railway trucks, interurban cars and other vehicles where rapid but safe transportation is required. Most manufacturers, like most individuals, don’t like to adopt a new thing until they are compelled to. We have alw ays believed so implicitly in the virtues of the underslung con- struction, however, that as soon as it was possible for us to produce a car at a sufficiently low price to eliminate competition we did it. The underslung type of construction is unquestionably the only one suitable for Roadsters. It is the best insurance policy against accidents. It prevents them. There is no doubt but that it makes the most stable car. Besides lowering the center of gravity it makes a-straight line drive from the motor to the rear wheels possible, thus conserving horsepower.

Marshall E. Kirkpatrick, Granite City’s Socialist Mayor, who has appointed Adolph White, a Socialist, as Chief of Police, to help him give the town a So- Cialist administration.

i cheap coal and cheap ice are two of the things that a Mayor cannot bring ‘about without the aid of the City Council. Depends on Votes. Whether the Socialists will gain enough seats in the Council at the elec- lion next spring to usher in the mil- lenium of cheap coal and cheap ice will depepgd upon how many votes the coal dealers and the ice dealers will be able to muster. : , If Mayor Kirkpatrick has his way, Granite City will have a municipal coal yard and a municipal ice house, and coal! rand ice will be sold at cost. These are things, he thinks, that lie nearest the Socialists’ hands, and can most readily be “socialized.’’ Other things eontemplated in the Soctalist program will not be brought about so rapidly because there are, in some instances, laws in the way, and in other instances prejudice or conservatism will not be so easily broken down. And if ong is determined to de some- thing that will necessitate his arrest, he would better go to Granite City to do it, for under the rule of a Socialist Chief of Police getting arrested is going to be a polite function. Club Will Be Stiled. No longer ‘will policemen beat the heads off malefactors simply because they are malefactors, and it is going to be bad form for a Granite City police- man to kick a prisoner in the ribs. wa “Prisoners will not be beaten up by a pe policemen while I am Mayor,” said a Hath gi: . A Mayor Kirkpatrick, telling what it is going to be like in the only city that has a Socialist Chief of Police and two or three Socialist policemen, as well as a Socialist Mayor. “And all prisoners will be treated alike.

SALOON KEEPER LOSES LICENSE: AILLS HIMSELF Belleville Authorities Closed Places of Five Aliens After the Election.

THREATENED HIS FAMILY

Wife Flees and He Breaks in Door Where She Had Hidden : Revolver.

Charies Gregor, who in the last few days had brooded over the fear that he could not make a living after his sa- loon license was revoked by the Belle- ville City Counctl, killed himself yes- terday afternoon. Three weeks ago the Belleville Coun- cil passed an ordinance prohibiting the issuance of saloon licenses to aliens. Gregor had never been naturalized and lost his license. The present city ad- ministration was opposed at the election by the Socialist party, of which five Belleville saloon keepers, who were aliens, were members. The passage of the ordinance followed soon after the installation of the administration. Yesterday efternoon Gregor, who had been drinking heavily, threatened to kill his wife and three children. Mrs. Gregor locked the door to the bedroom, in which Gregor hept his revolver, and ran with the children to the home of a neighbor. A few minutes later a shot was heard. Neighbors found Gregor lying dead on the kitchen floor. He had broken open the door to the bedroom with a hatchet and obtained the revolver. Gregor was 4 years old. He was formerly @ coal miner, and had been in the saloon business only three months when his license was revoked. He re- sided at 423 South Richland street. DOG NEARLY KILLS BOY

GREAT FISHING EXPECTED

Harry Whitney and Captain Rob- ert A. Bartlett to Head the Expedition.

NEW YORK, May 6.—An attempt will be made, incidental to a hunting trip. to détermine if the records which Dr. Cook alleges he left at Etah are there. The expedition is being organized under the auspices of Harry Whitney, the big game hunter, and under personal direc- tion of Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, who commanded the Roosevelt, the ship in which the Peary expedition sailed. in search of the North Pole. The expedi- tion will start in June. There will be 20 bunks for the sports- ‘men who will make up the party. Fif- teen young millionaires, whose names the Captain does not care to reveal now, Only two bunks are left, and the Cap- tain expects to fill them before he leaves Boston. The expedition will be primarily for sport, but the members have the curiosity to see what the discredited explorer left at Etah: During the controversy Harry Whitney remained silent. His meeting with Cook at Etah and what followed has never been talked about fully by the young sportsman. Capt. Bartlett expects that with good sailing the expedition will reach the south coast of Labrador in six days. At that point salmon fishing will be indulged in, and the sport there is unequaled anywhere else. Along this coast the sportsmen will be guided by Bartlett to what he calls the best fresh water trout fishing In the world. After leaving Labrador the ship will go to Greenland and will con- tinue to the north of Ellesmere Land. The big game hunting will then begin in earnest. One of Whitney’s mamTn objects is to capture a silver fox. None has been brougnt nere in cap- tivity. It is the rarest and most wary of the Northern snow animals. The

party will also try to lasso a Polar bear.

« GAR TOKEEP CAMP JACKSON DAY IN AUTOS Veterans of Great War in Which St. Louis Was a Battleground Will Not March.

THE RANKS ARE BROKEN

Old Guard Will Ride This Year to Celebration in Four Parks.

Arrangements for a general celebra- tion in St. Louls Wednesday, May 10, of the semi-centennial of the capture of Camp’ Jackson, are being made by the General Lyon Committee of the G. A. R. posts in St. Louis. There will be exercises before Grant's monument en the city hall plot in Clar« avenue, and in Forest, Benton and Lyon parks, where there are monuments to Civil War heroes. Persons who have witnessed past cele- brations of Camp Jackson day in St. Louis will observe a great change in the march of the veterans. The “quick step’’ and the ‘“double- quick” are the steps for Camp Jackson day. These are the steps with which the Union forces in 1861 alternated when they marched out Chouteau and Laclede avenues, Market and Olive streets to Camp Jackson, where the State militia were on May 10, 1861. There will be no “quick step’ or “double-quick”’ in the march this year. The veterans are goihg to ‘‘march” for the first time in automobiles. Ranks Are Broken. Increasing age and infirmity of the G. A. R. members is making it more dif- ficult each year to get out a sufficient number properly to celebrate the day. The committee in charge accordingly adopted the automobile idea, and hopo to have at least 500 survivors take part in the exercises. The number of sur- vivors in St. Louis is not known. Sev- eral efforts have been made to take a poll of those still living, but they have not been successful. Col. R. J. Rombauer is chairman of the Gen, Lyon Memorial. Committee and Francis P. Becker secretary. Herman Angermueller is treasurer. Othe ‘mem- bers are: Adolphus Busch, Col. avid Murphy, Gustav Cramer, Henry Evers, Louis Koop, Charles Bernhardt, Alfred A. Prall, John P. Riechers, Benjamin Michael, John Stupp, Jacob Doerner, Tony Niederwieser and Julius Bong- ner, The capture of Camp Jackson is re- ferred to as the most momentous ‘event of the Civil War in Missouri. It hap- pened at a psychological time when it was an open question whether Missouri would join the ranks of the Confeder- jacy or the Northern States. Camp Jackson was made up of State militia. Gov. Jackson and Gen. M. D. Frost, who was in immediate command of the State troops, were sympathizers with the secessionist cause. The State troops in the camp were divided, but the majority were Southern sympa- thizers. No Resistance Made. The actual taking of the camp was not a great military undertaking. There was no resistance on the,part of the State troops and there probably would have been no fatalities, but for the demon- sirations of spectators. These demonstrations resulted {fn some companies of the Union soldiers firing into the mob. Some historians say that 2% persons, men, women and children, lay dead in Olive street. Many more were wounded, including soldiers of the Home Guards (Union forces), who had been fired upon by men in the mob with pistols, while they were guarding the State troops and waiting for orders to march away from the camp ground with their prisoners. It was Gen. Lyon's taking of the camp at the time he did which has made it one of the big events in Civil War his- tory. The capture of Camp Jackson was a ‘“‘crossing of the Rubicon.” It de- cided that Missouri was to be Union, and not Confederate. the State troops captured joined the' Union ranks. ; - The necessity for Lyon taking the camp came about in this’ way: Gen. Harney, who was in command of the Department of the West in the early spring of 1861, was not trusted by the Federal sympathizers in Missouri. Frank P. Blair, brother of the Post- master-General, and other St. Louis men exerted themselves to have Harney removed after he had refused the as-j; sistance of volunteers. to protect the ar- senal. They succeeded in their efforts, and Capt. Nathaniel Lyon, a Connecti- cut Yankee, who had been in the West about one year, succeeded Harney and set about raising regiments in Missouri to fight the Confederacy. When he thought he had sufficient evidence that Gov. Jackson and Gen. Frost were drill- ing the State troops in Missouri to fight for the South, he decided to take the camp. 1400 Troops in Camp. Camp Jackson sheltered nee than 1400 State troops. Camp Jackson was in what was then Lindell Grove. The camp extended from Garrison avenue to Grand ave- nue and from Laclede avenue to Olive street. With a force in excess of 10,000 Lyon completely surrounded. it. The capture of Camp Jackson was effected in the following fashion, ac- cording to Col. Rombauer: At 8 o'clock on the morning of May 10, more ithe First Volunteers marched out of Jefferson Barracks under command of Gen. Lyon, Col. Frank P. Blair and Lieut. Sweeney. Thies column moved north on Seventh street to Chouteau avenue ana thence westward until they came within view of Camp Jackson. Then they advanced across the commons to a lane west of the camp and north- | sratth on the lane to Olive street. A part of the First Volunteers was tt} ind the ase Y ie the hens pong |

Olive street, met the Union troops coming westward from the city. The Second Volunteers, Col. Boern- stein, started from the Marine Hospital, marched on Broadway to Chouteau avenue, and followed the route taken by Lyon and Biair. The Third Volun- teers, under Col. Francis Sigel, started from the Arsenal, marched up Broad- way to Olive street, and thence to the camp. The Fourth Volunteers also started from the arsenal uniter Col. Nie Schuettner, but branched off on Market and followed that street and Laclede avenue to the southern line near the east end of the camp. Besides these there were four reserve regiments that took advantageous positions about the camp. Rombauer Heard Shots. Col. Rombauer, who Was at the head of a battalion of reserves that marched from Jaeger'’s-garden at Yeath and Sid. ney streets, and taok a position on the left of the artilfery on the east end of the camp, says he csuld seé there had been a surrender, but at the same time could hear shots whistling through the trees over his head. When Lyon sent Frost the order to surrender the camp, the latter demurred, aid asked for time and a consultation. He said there was no idea of hostility to the United States in the minds of the state forces. ‘a4yon sent back word to Frost to the effect that the latter was in communil- cation with the Confederacy, and de- manded that he surrender the State troops without condition. Frost then surrendered, stating that he was entire- ly unable to defend his command. The tragedy of the day came later, Accounts differ greatly as to what oc- curred, but all agree with Gen. Sher- man that the trouble began when a drunken man tried to break through the Union ranks. , This man fired a pis- pecag Then the Union soldiers started to fire. A majority of the great mob of men, women and children that had gathered to witness the surrender appear to have been Confederate sympathizers. Some of these hurrahed for “Jeff Davis,’’ and shouts of “Damn the Dutch” added to the tumult. There were pistol ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATUE. Sah SN ea DEFLECTED SHOT throwing at the western end of the line of troops. Capt. Blandovski, Company F, Third Volunteers, fell, mortally wounded. Someone of the Unon offi- cers commanded “Fire!” and in one spot 16 persons were killed and a number tn- jured, some of them, all accounts agree, innocent spectators. The firing is ali said to have been along Olive street. Queer stories are told of adventures in Camp Jackson in the days immedi- ately preceding its capture. One of these stories had it that Gen. Lyon visited the camp, disguished as a woman, to learn what was going on there. Col. Robert J. Rombauer, 2743 Russell avenue, who was at the head of one of the regiments that captured the camp, refers to the story of Lyon’s alleged adventure in his history of “The Union Cause in St. Louis in 1861." He says: “There is a widely spread and gen- erally believed story that on the eighth or ninth of May, in the afternoon, Lyon drove through Camp Jackson, in the disguise of a lady, heavily veiled, etc., armed with two Colts’ revolvers; some more detail was given, namely that this happened in the disguise of Mrs. Alex- ander’s (Blair’s mother-in-law) dresses and in Col. Dick’s buggy. Another ver- sion stated the dress belonged to a Miss Graham. . “Although the story has been repeated by reliable men, it must be considered that Lindell. Grove, which held. Camp Jackson, was a weil-known locality, its highest elevations were on its western and eastern boundaries. Olive street crossed. the central depression of the ground on a dike and the general slope of the territory was towards the south, while the comparatively few trees of- fered very little shelter. These very peor conditions for defense could readily Le observed from the publile streets by the large number of persons who visited the camp or passed by it. Plats of the locality with measure ments to the very inch could be obtained in several public and private offices. Under such circumstances, it will re- cuire very positive and direct evidence to admit the fact 6f the above adven- ture. A surviving member of Col. Dick’s family at Washington, D. C., knows nothing about it.”

ee KILLED DEPUTY, IS DIETZ'S PLEA Expert CaHed by State Said to Have Furnished Evidence for Defense. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HAYWARD, Wis., May 6.-—That John Dietz was not responsible for the death of Oscar Harp, a deputy sheriff, and that the man was killed by a deflected bullet was the contention of the defense in the famous Cameren Dam murder trial today. It is reported that an ex- pert, summoned to give evidence for the State, has been dismissed, because his testimony would have favored the defendants, who are Dietz, his wife and their son. Dietz has asked the judge before whom he is being tried to give him per- mission to go to the scene of the shoot- ing to collect evidence which will prove that a. diagram introduced by the State to prove the contention that it was his bullet that inflicted the fatal wound was not borne out by the facts. This re- quest has been refused. Capt. Robert Kane, editor of a sporting magazine, was called upon by the attorneys for the prosecution to examine the bullet which ended Harp’s life. It is declared that he examined the missile under a micro- scope and later from magnified photo- graphs, and that his conclusion was that the bullet had struck the ground before entering Harp’s body. He wrs not called to the stand by the de- fense. It is possible that Capt. Kane will now become the star witness for the defense and that the whole trial will hinge on his testimony. é.

There: had to be con- struction work. which.amounted to the building of 100 miles of track. “The order for the expenditure was made, the court approved, and scon the line was in shape to come out of the errs and stand on its own bottom.” Whether the Missouri Pacific road- bed, chiefly famous for its hvrr- mony with the = ruggedness. of the scenery on certain branches of the line, or the suburban train service, the perennial grievance of Kirkwood, or the city grade cro's- ing problem would first claim his 1t- tention, President Bush Would not say. But when the legislative lobby was mentioned there was no back- wardness in his announcement of his views. “The day of the third house has passed,” he said. “The railroads are out of politics. They have got toa place where they recoghize their duty to the public, and the public Is coming to recognize that the railroads can’t perform that duty without fair treatment from the public. “Now I don't like to say what w'!l sound like criticism here, -but I have heard that more than 100 bills affect- ing railroads were offered in the last session of the Missouri Legislature. Most of them were not passed; dit each showed the sentiment of a part of the people of the State. Such a, mass of proposed railroad measures to take up legislators’ time would not be found in states of much greater railroad mileage, like New York and Pennsylvania. Different Conditions Now, “Probably the railroads, in tina past, have given cause for it all. But the railroads of today have to serve the people now, and they can’t do ir properly if they have to take constant punishment for the sins of vears 970. The railrodds want.to be wood, ad they want the public to deal fairly with them and let them be good and make good.” Turn the talk to St. Louis, and Bush compares this city with Baltimore in a strain complimentary to both.

BENJAMIN F. BUSH. - did something to get rid of it, but they soon decided that. they needed more smoke-making business than they need- ed smoke consumers. “I don’t know of-any effective loco- motive smoke consumer.” (The Terminal Association was making a test of such a device on the afternoon of the in- terview.) “I think Ordinary city smoke will be decreased by better methods of firing, buf I do not expect to see it pitogether abolished. St. Louis has not the right sort* of coal for that. Much improvement can be made, though, by the use of washed coal in sized lumps.” Knows All About Coal. Few St. Louisans know as much about the commodity that makes smoke as Bush knows. He’ is just pulling’ loose from several coal companies of which he has been a director, that he may give all his time to the Missouri Pacific. He was the fuel agent of the system from 1903 to 1907. But while Mr. Bush made money in the coal business, it was another line of training that made a railroad man of him. Like another St. Louis corpor- ation head of wide prominence, James Campbell, Bush began his career by footwork with a surveyor’s chain. The clear, not loud tone which carries from his desk to the outer office is the voice which he developed when calling across ields and against the wind to the tran- sitman on his first surveying job, in his native county in Pennsylvania. “IT did the work, and the county sur- veyor got the money,”’ he relates. “Rut it was a fine training, as good. perhaps, as I could have got in a teclinical school. I would have liked to go to the technica] school, but the chance that opened up to mé was of the other sort, and took me to the Northwest for railroad work on the Northern Pacific. Ready of Speech, That was in 1882, when Bush was 22 years old. He wiil be 51 next July. He is clear of eye and ready of -speech, though he says he is not a public speaker. There is a trace of his eastern origin in a drawl which becomes very noticeable when he speaks in colloquial vein, and his proriunciation of “now” and “down” at such times is almost that of a New England village deacon. “Blue serge is his favorite suiting material, but he denies the assertion recently made by a New York specia) writer that he wears the same neck- tie the year round. Last year, he says, he had not. less than three. But he declares he never wore a white: =, in his life.

Began, He Says, When She Took His Bread to Put in Mother’s Turkey. For five years Charles H. Schokmil- ler, manager of the Western Type Foun- dry, and his wife, Cecelia Schokmiller, were separated, but on the verge of rec- orciliation. Repeatedly, he testified in his wife’s divorce suit before Judge Grimm yester- day, they were about to resume house- keeping, but each time, for some rea- sun, the wife would change her mind at the last minute. Their separation oc- curred on Christmas day, 1906. Schokmiller’s long-cherished hope for a reconciliation came to an end last November when his wife took offense because his stenographer had been seen riding in his automobile. According to Schokmiller’s statement to Judge Grimm, his wife's affections oscillated between him and her own family. Stenographer Surprised. “When she was getting along well with her parénts and sisters,” said Schokmiller, “she showed little de- sire to retyrn to me, and when she would begin to talk of a reconcilia- tion, I would always find out that she had been having trouble at home. “Once she quarreled with ker mother, and another: time she com- plained that her sister Agnes had got into society and was making the rest of the family miserable with her hifa- lutin notions of how the house should be run. Another time she said she had to do all the work at home, be- eause her sisters, Agnes and Helen, were only good for stenografiers.” At the last remark Miss Helen But- ler, who was taking shorthand notes on the testimony, stopped and looked at the witness with an air of sur- prise, then plied her pencil furiously. She took all the testimony, apparent- ly for her own benefit, as she was not officially employed to do so. The husband’s stenographer, Miss Estella Cookston, was a witness, and tola how Mrs. SchokmilNer, formerly friendly with her, had suddenly stopped speaking to her. She had ridden in her employer's auto only when others were along, she. de- clared. Takes His Last Loaf. The Christmas separation followed a quarrel between the Schokmillers over the Wife’s action in taking the last loaf of bread in their flat at 3801 Page boule- vard, to her mother’s house, to be used in stuffing a Christmas turkey. Schok- miller testified that he was so dis- pleased over the incident that he did not keep an engagement to eat some of the turkey as a Christmas day guest at his mother-in-law’s home. Mrs. Schok- miller stayed at her mother’s home that night, the husband testified, and the next day when she returned to the flat in his absence she found the door pad- locked. The husband admitted that he*put the padlock there, but he said he told Mrs. Schokmiller, when she telephoned to him, that she could get in if she re- turned. when he was at home. She never returned. 3 Judge Grimm took the case ‘under ad- visement. ail q

SHOWS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Many Signatures to Noted Docu- ment Are Now Entirely legible. WASHINGTON, May 6.—The origi- nal declaration of independence and constitution of the United States were exposed to view today by Secre- tary Knox for the purpose of inspect- ing the doctiiments.

But, notwithstanding the notable ents of Boerhave, Sydenham, Harvey, Haller, Morgagni, Albinus, Cullen, Hun- ter, Biehat and other great phys‘cians of Europe, the sum tota] of medical art at the close of the ‘eighteenth century was d'‘stinctly empirical. The first ‘medical school in the United States Wag organized in Philadelphia in 1765 by Dr. Johm Morgan and Dr. William Shippen upon the Llan of the Edinburg Medica] School, from which both founders of the new ‘institution had been graduated. The first strong influence upon American med- icine was the Brown theory imported into this country by Dr. Rush of Philadelphia, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This theory aitained its mo~' -xtravagant expression in the Hahpemann sysiem, long since rejected as ab- surd, but valuable to therapeutics as a reminder to every physician of the important part natur2 actually plays in the cure of disease. Purely scientific research can not be expecte) ‘of medical men -in any new country. Until the nineteenth century was well begun American medical science made little advance. But the work of Rush, Chapman, Hosack, Watson, Mott, _ Bigelow, Dudley and their” colfeagues of those “early days laid a firm foundat!on upon which a " + +

What this co-operative hentcn! undertaking wil] mean, not only to St. Louis; but-to the West, the Southwest and the whole ‘Bation, it is dificult to int!- mate. Lack of provision for hospita] service and for medical instruction in the United States, as the public is beginning to discover, bas been one of the most striking weaknesses of our socia) organization. The re- ‘ port of the Carnegie Founda- tion for the Advancement of Teaching, the best report ever ie , sued On medical education. “has made this unmistakably clear to all its readers. {t is singular that almost the most im- Vportant concern of the average man nd the

Tiis is no dream; it is a revity. The school is in operation, with its reorganized staff and largely increased facili- tles. All obstacles to the prosecution of the hospital plans have been removed, and tb: erec- tion of build'ngs will be begun as soon as tne de- tails have. been perfected. The three institutions will work in the closest affiliation and, as far as service goes, will be one. _The three institutions will occupy adjoining tracts of land beautifully located at the east end of Forest Park, east afd west of Buclid ave- rue, south of the Wabash Railroad. The tract bas a double front on Foreit Park, and it would be difficult to find a more ‘convenient or beautiful - Aoeation in St. Louis. ‘The site ie sufficiently re- " moved from the smote of the city, yet sufficiently near the mass of population to make access easy. = ‘Barnes Memorial Genera) Hospital, with a bu'ld- ha ing for a training school for nurses, the new | for A .

The Robert A. Barnes Memorial Hospital, facing south, will at the outset contain approximately 300 beds, with all the most modern. arrangements not only for administrative service, but for sci- ‘entific efficiency. The building and equipment will cost about a million dollars, and the hospi- tal will begin work with at least a million dol- lars of endowment, It will be of modern, fire- proof construction ang will be as perfect for its purpose as the best architect and the best hospital expert in America can make it. “The St. Louis Children's Hospital,’ of adequate size and of equally modern construction, will be | er of the tract, fronting on Forest Park, with a southwestern ex- posure.

public has received so little public attention and criticism, There has been too much mystery about medical practice, hospital opera- tion and management, and medical instruction. It has been éasy to organize medical schools because of the lack of legal restrictions, and vast numbers of them were early formed Pecause, wherever there was a group of physicians to give some sort of instruction a medical school could be’ started, not only at no expense to the promoters, but to their actual fjnancia) advan- ‘tage, direct or indirect, It is certainly clear \that of the 130 medical schools now in operation, not.more than thirty have income from any source except students’ ‘adequate medical staff and labora \ A Modern Hospital ‘for Adults, Another for Children and an Institution for Research Second to None in America Will Combine - to Form a: Great Temple of the Gentle Art of Healing and Provide for the Gentral and Far West Disease -Fighting Facilities Now Enioyed Only in the Great cies of that the burdes of instruction and research stiould be borne by men giving their full time to the schools. The service of able men in practice wil — still be quite as fully sought as formerly and . will be as unselfishly rendered, and will consume all the time they are able to spare from their practice. In the third place, medical education has been unsatisfactory because neither the laboratory nor the clinical hospital facilities were available. Few of the medical schools were able to develop bospitals of their own, and few hospitals were able or wise enough to effect an efficient affilia- tion with a strong university able to provide an fdcilities. school wurthy of the name, without access to a large hosp'tal and adequate direction of the medica! service, cannot exist.

Aside from its obvious possibilities as a productive scientific center, Washington University must be the main factor in the training of physicians for the Southwest country; the city of St. Louis has in this section an even clearer opportunity than has Chicago in the Middle West, “New York in the East, or Boston in New England. For there is no other large city south of Minneapolis or as far west as the Pacific which as completely ‘meets alk the requirements of the case. There is abundant evidence to indl- cate that those interested in Washington University appreciate its ‘manifest it bids fair shortly to possess faculty, laboratories and hospitals con- forming in every respect to ideal standards.”’ . this writing Its impor- is therefore at ‘

aoitte fees. In the an days, when medical knowledge was limited and medica) methods Were s'mple, the continued existence of such schools was not ul- natural. The day of usefulness of such schools has passed; the majority of them are wot only not useful, but definitely detrimental. : It is impossible today, without the most elab- orate and expensive laboratory and clinical facil- ities, both in the medical school and in the hos- pitals, to furnish sound training to those who are going to serve the public. Medica) education is the most expensive of all educational enter- prises. The laboratory equipment is expensive, the construction and operation of adequate hos- pitals are enormously costly and the full-time services of the ablest laboratory and clinical scaffs can be commanded only with exceptional salaries. In the budgets of good medical schools the aggregate receipts from students’ fees are scarcely more than a drop in the bucket. The highest tuition usually charged is $150, whereas each year of his college course it costs between $600 and $800 to train a modern physician, with- out reckoning the operating expenses of the in- dispensable hospitals. A number of reasons may be assigned why medical education and hospital service have been unsatisfactory. In the first place, medical ecience in the last generation has made greater advances than in all ' generations preceding. This has been due not only to the activity of investigation into medical science itself, but to the tremendous advances in the fundamental sciences on which medicine rests. Medicine is not only a’ new science in a large sense, but is constantly advancing, and is today perhaps most complex of all sciences. In the second place, medica] faculties have been constituted largely from the local ¢ircle of busy practitioners. Many great practitioners have taught medicine in many communities, and have rendered effective service with great un selfishness. The debt due to.such men; not only here in St. Louis, but elsewhere, cap never be

been generally recogpized either by the public or by university authorities. Still less has it been recognized by hospital authorities that, affiliation — with a strohg medica) school is of prime impor- tance for the hospital for purely hospital pur- poses. The consensus of opinion both of leading hospita] superintendents and of the medical: ex- perts today is that.a hospital fully used for tefich- ing purposes is a vastly better place for patients than one having noo such connection. This is true for several reasons. In the first place, a hospit&} connected with a strong medical school _ can secure the continuous service of the ablest physicians and medical scientists in the coun- try, and it is unquestionably clear thaf such teachers, under the stimulus of inquiring, well- trained students will more carefully and con- tinuously discharge their duty to the patient than under any other possible conditions. Again, it is true that such experts, drawn from the highest ranks of the medical profession, are inspired with the loftiest ideals of their’ profession, with the strongest. ethical instincts. and the deepest humanitarian motives, and no properly conducted teaching hospital today fails ty develop and sustain the most complete safe- guards and care for the patients. A medical staff so constituted. would of itself render the jack of such provisions an impossibility.

_ By Miss M. E. Clemens Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post- Dispatch M | BALTIMORE, Md., May 1. HO better than His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop _of Baltimore, could apswer the question of how to live Jong and be happy in old age? This prince of the Church is in his seventy-seventh year, but to seé him one could well imagine that he had barely turned the half-century mark. Read his rules; they gre ae ae not difficult to follow and they have enabled him to approach four score years after a lifetime of hard mental and physical labor with a store of good health conserved in w body that was always frail. Today he is filling his exacting duties as he did when he was a young man. Fatigue and he ere strangers. It is a most unusual] occasion that wears him out. Spry in step, keen in intellect, hé might well be a youngster of 40 instead of almost twice ‘that age, thanks to his rules for "plain living and high thinking. A? “TI have just come from seeing him at the archi- _ €pliécopal residence in Baltimore, on North Charles - gtreet, back of the big cathedral. You are let ‘tn by a young man and conducted to a seat in | the reception room, a severely plain apartment. _ * My card went up to His Eminence. Soon there : was a light; quick step, and it was the Cardinal tm his street costume. He wore a black frock . suit of broadcloth topped off with the scarlet skull eo of the Cardinal. It was hard to believe that

—_ ¢ the kindly faced gentleman who had so much elas- ticity of carriage was a man nearly 80 years of age. | “T can give you only a few minutes,” he said, smiling genially, “you know~I’m a very busy man. My time is well provided for every day.” The touch of scarlet at the throat set off the pallid features of the prelate to excellent-advan- tage, as he showed me to a chair and took one himself. In fact, that note of red throws a sort of color into his kindly face. It is his eyes, however, which catch you in- stantly. They are kindly eyes, to be sure, but they show the master mind conscious of its rule over the frail, almost fragile body. But Car- dinal Gibbons anakes no secret of the fact that he believes a working mentality, ever alert, can conquer the weakest frame. The Spirit of Youth. IS spirit is eminently that of youth. He an has taken upon himself the privilege of the aged man, but with a mind that works every minute of its waking hours, he has evadéd infirmities of the flesh—he is not an old man. “The secret?” he said, with a gentle smile. “There is nothing wonderfu} about it. Try to rreserve an equal and tranquil disposition. By 50 doing one is enabled to overcome those hindrances in well doing which frequently arise from a turbu- lent mental condition. Avoid anger and meet the many vicissitudes of life calmly. Nothing con- duces so much to wear and tear of the human body as worry. Worry is:generally recognized as a deterrent in those things which lead to mental and physical progress.” The truth of this is exemplified in His Emi- nence’s own life. He is optimistic. He does not i Cry 0 preserve: an equal and tranquil disposition. 2 Eat and drink moderately and regularly, 3 Cake a reasonable ainount ot & Outdoor exercise 4 Beep occupied, 5 Cake a TepIse and sleep. © Be Cheerful, a sufficient amount ° by daily. —~

worry. He is calm and coilected always. Few have his even poise of will and ability to meet and overcome difficulties and annoyances. Never becoming ruffled mentally, he always is able to decide serious matters and to face a con- tingency philosophically. “Another important thing to remember,” he ran on, “ts to eat and drink moderately and reg- ularly in order to keep the mind and the body gt the highest standard of efficiency. Avoid ex- cesses of all kinds. Eat generously of the plainer foods. Good green vegetables and the substantial roasts are best. Eat sparingly of sweets. ‘Late suppers should be the exception rather than the rule, and irregularity in meals is not consistent with good digestion. Moderation in drinking is especially essential to good health.” His Eminence breakfasts at 8 o’clock sharp, and his meal consists, with slight variation, of a cup of coffee, one biscuit, one soft boiled egg. Sometimes there is a little bacon or a chop instead, and marmalade. The ardinal dines at 1:30-p. m., as all good Baltimoreans do. This meal is made up of soup, a. little roast beef or lamb—the latter is especially his preference. He is very fond of vegetables— string beans.and limas, mashed potatoes, peas or tomatoes, '“ttuce and spinach. Not fond o? sweets, he onl). occasionally takes a dessert. A small glass of claret is taken, but he bah ga dilutes it freely. At his evening meal, supper, the Cardinal has tea or buttermilk. The latter is his favorite beverage, and he drinks plenty of it, because he considers it most healthful. _Then he takes a chop or a small piece of steak or’ a small por- tion of cold meat. His Eminence never eats before

retiring unless he is to officiate at high mass on the following day, which entails fasting until after the service is finished, about 1 p. m. or later. On such occasions hé takes a bite about 9 in the evening. The third rule which His Eminence gave me— “Take a reasonable amount of outdoor exercise daily”—made me ask him what he thought the best form of exercise. To this he replied, “Walking, I consider, is the best.» There are many other excellent forms, but there are those who cannot afford to ride or indulge in other means, while walking is within the opportunity of all.

walk to or from his business if possible. If he finds he cannot do this, then let him start earlier and take the exercise before boarding his car. Three or four miles a day is not too much to walk, and in the good air and sunshine it cannot fail to benefit anyone who does it. Overexertion, of course, is not good. “Another thing, it is as necessary to exercise the mind as it is to exercise the body. The mind must be kept active or the mental faculties will ceteriorate.”’ For about one hour before his dinner the Car- dina] may be observed any fine day walking briskly in North Charles street, through the boute-: vards or in Druid Park. In this time he covers from three to four miles and returns ‘usually with a good appetite gained by his constitutional. Some- ‘times he takes another stroll later in the day. Walking is his tonic and the good health which he enjoys is mainly due to the regular exercise, his love of fresh air and his almbst unbroken’ regularity of meals. The Cardinal’s mind is always active. He keeps informed on all the important topics of the day. “Keep occupied,” he continued. “A man or woman without occupation is but a derelict 1n the path of those whose lives are engrossed by the necessary effort to benefit themselves or these in whom they are interested, and nothing tends. more to longevity than activity. “Work is essential to good health. tron is more wasted by rust than by wear. Activity should be a marked part of everyone's nature, and in varied activity will be found the bebt means of usefulness and success, sunshine of June.” 7 o’elock.

This hour’s repose he feels is necessary to offset fatigu caused by his numerous duties and the better to fit him for the remaining hours uf the day.

The other Sundays are devoted to confirmations, Gedications and om church duties. ; In manner he is direct and to the point. Te % amiable, but he is also strong and firm. He makes up his mind with care, and is very de cided when a conclusion has been reached.

Justice Gerard declares a city of refuge of this kind would be the greatest boon that could be given to suffering humanity. Of course, it would take a large sum—many million dollars—to build such a city, but Justice Gerard believes it is practical and declares it to be a philanthropic project certain of realization before many years. “If our great philanthropists would build a city of refuge on Leng Island instead of giving tens of niillions for libraries, colleges and peace funds, they would do more for humanity than has ever been done in the history of the world,” said Justice Gerard, discussing the question of how best to use $10,000,000 for the betterment of hu- manity: “The suffering that we see about us on all sides should be alleviated before more institu- tions of higher learning are endowed. If I had $10,000,000 to give to philanthropy, I should establish such a city, in which our unfortunate brothers and sisters would be as welcome and as certain of assistance as those who entered the gates of the cities of refuge of Biblical times.” In fact, the place proposed by Justice Gerard be in many respects similar to the Leviti- blood revenge , it may be remembered, was deep- rooted among the Israelites, and even after ‘Willings family feuds resulted which te rapine abd mu.der tor maiy successive Justice James N. ee of hee. ie Would Have Philanthropists or-the State Create a Community Similar to the Levitical Cities. of the Jews generations. Moses found this custom in exist- ence, but by establishing cities of refuge in vart- ous parts of the country did much to improve eenditions. There were six of these cities, about equally distant from each other, and the kins- man or other person who might pursue the slayer to kill him could not molest him in one of these cities. until the offense had been investigated and the judgment of the congregation passed. As the avenger of blood had a right to slay the homicide if he caught him before he reached the city of refuge, the roads leading, to these were unusually wide, well kept and marked with signs to make it easy for the unfortunate man who ‘vas pursued. Once in these citfes, which of course were walled and guarded, & man was not only safe, but welcomed and given employment. The cities were practically endowed and not allowed to be- come too largé, for fear that criminals might congregate in them, or too small for fear there would not be enough employment for the refu- gees. | Of course there is no need today for of refuge for the. unfortunate is great, Justice Gerard believes. This modern city of refuge, which would be-a model town as far ag its situa- tion, buildings and administration were con- cerned, would not be a haven for crooks. It could contain factories and shops where those out of work might find employment; model homes and tenements where they might live with their families free from expense while trying to get on their feet; hospitals, especially institutions for those convalescing; trade schools, gymnasiums end baths. : On the outskirts of the city there would be farm lands, which Would be tilled by those who needed fresh air and outdoor life. Most of the vegetables needed by the inhabitants of the city would be raised in this way. There would be public dining halls in which wholesome food would be served, as well as stores where it could be bought at extremely low prices by those who otectecty AAG meet: ) eed yer apelbe lle Mfg nd found employment elsewhere, through a labor ex- change, would be dismissed to make a place for someone else. This labor exchange would be an important feature of the city. It would keep track of labor conditions throughout +e country, and if men were needed in a certain city residents of the city or refuge who were fitted for the work would bé sent there. There would be no permanent residents—as s@éon as the down-and- outs get a new start their places would be dled. Deserted wives, especially those with thildren, | would find such a city a wonderfal boon. They would receive food and shelter until employment could be found for them or they could be trained to do some kind of work. Their childrén would be put in trade schools and also taugps useful oc- cupations. And. of course the labor exchange would find positions for them. But perhaps the most important feature df, the city would be that as soon as they were properly equipped, once an unfortunate man or woman had reached it, creditors could not annoy or harass him.

NE of my friends, a little girl who works down- town, is going to be married in June, and the other day she asked me to help select her trousseau. . She had just $100— saved out of a meager salary—how in the world she had managed it is beyond the wild- est flight of imaginary economy, but she had, and there it was in five . new, clean bills. The entire trousseau had to be bought ‘ready tc’ wear,” because in her day’s work there never had been time to make it and her mother was too busy with household duties and the younger hildren, and consequently my little friend hadn't even the few pieces of wedding’ finery a girl’s family usually delight in making for her and around which she builds her trousseau. Zer hundred dollars looked like a small fortune to her and she was beaming with thoughts of so niuch money to spend all at once and all on the lovely, frilly things she had been dreaming about ‘while working, pinching and saving, but I was \ + : filled with misgivings lest her little fund ‘prove disappointingly. inadequate. The result of that shopping expeditién was a@ perfect revelation in how far a small amount cf money will go when much thought, a little taste and a good bit of common sense are com- bined. It was really a lesson, the telling of which I hope will help other June brides who still have their trousséaux to buy. When we had finished .and the boxes had all come home, and their contents were spread out for inspection, it was as pretty an array of lace and ribbon, gowns and hats as any practical girl could pos- sibly desire. Nothing was lacking, from white satin wedding slippers to little gingham house frocks—and there was something for every occasion, besides. She was triumphant, I was dumfounded, as I thought of the hundreds and hundreds of dol- Jars spent on lingerie alone for other prospactive brides, but I knew they could not be more pleased or have any daintier clothing than my little bride- elect. Here is how the miracle was accomplished: Planning the Campaign. ’ IRST,, we held a conference and talked t all over. Then we made out a list of frocks. and frills and things “she wanted”—everything a bride could wish for, regardless of how it mgunt- ed up. Then we revised it and revised it, eliminating cne thing after another that could be done with- out, leaving that which was absolutely necessary t. daintiness and comfort—and a few little ex- -travagances. A much shorter list, but the $100 _ bought everything that was needed and we stood Es 46 cents to the good.

It was hard to choose, especially on a limited sum, from all the really beautiful models on dis- play. At times we simply had to shut our eyes to keep from being dazzled into too great temp- tation. This was our plan: To provide for immediate needs and let the future take care of itself—not to lay in a sup- ply of useless things, as though there would ‘Ppever be another chance to get clothes, as our grandmothers did, when trousseaux took morths _ Pind the counter into our corfider she became all wasn ee, and many hands to make and wére supposed to last a lifetime. | | First came the lingerie.

SILK PET T3C0AT SND FULL LENGTH COMBINATION

brought out for our selection. All made of soft nainsook, quantities @f narrow lace, enough rib- bon-run beading for trimming and every article cut in the prevailing modes. The prices of the different articles: varied but little and the models themselves differed in design and man- ner of applying the trimmings just enough to be attractive. We bought six‘:combinations, four nightgowns end four petticoats. The combinations al] had belts of embroidery teading and were finished with lace edging and beading all around the neck and arms, not just across the front, and had inlets of insertion or ethbroidery across the bust and ruffles of lawn edged with lace finished them about the knees. There was one especially pleasing model that tad several rows of German Val insertion set in at either side of the front between strips of lawn. The back had several groups of vertical tucks to break the plainness, and all around the reck and armholes was beading threaded with pale pink ribbon and lace edging. It cost 98 cents. . The other five were aqually pretty, two with bits of embroidery to form the front trimming and lace and lawn generously used in garnishing, and three others with lace combined in odd ways to vary the models. : The Pretty Nightgowns. HE nightgowns were astonishing, so daintily T trimmed were they and so attractive. The most popular models of these had rather deep yokes in front, composed of pieces of lace and embroidery. They were low in the neck, and had short sleeves, edged about very effectively with beading and lace. Those we bgught were so “ satisfactory and “good” that they deserve description. One had a deep yoke of insertion and lawn, sewn together in strips straight across the front, set in above three em- broidery medallions, each outlined with lace insertion, pink ribbon, three-quarters of an in¢h wide, run through | the medailions and tied into a bow at one side. Beading and lace fin- iMhed the neck and little _ lawn ruffles edged with lace completed the cunning little short sleeves. Price, 98 cents. Two more we chose without knowing the price —they were so pretty and so confident had we become that our girl behind. the counter would not lead us into temptation. They were much alike, except that one had its yoke shaped into a deep V while the other was square; both were trimmed with German Val of different patterns. Their four-inch yokes were composed of two kinds of lace set in alternate rows, one very much heavier than thewther and extremely effec- tive; lace beading and lace, of course, completed the neck and sleeve trimming. Forty-nine cents these were. The fourth was made with Cluny lace insertion an inch wide, alternating with fine embroidery for a yoke; beading and lace was around the neck and lace was whipped around delightful little sleeves that were cut in one with the shoulder. Price, 75 cents. 7 | The petticoats were wonderful and unusually cheap. A princess slip, also with a deep yoke of lace, and medallions set in the top at the bust line, was finished at the foot with a flounce 14 inches deep, made entirely of lace insertion and bands of lawn, with several rows of edging sewn together to form the ruffle. This we bought to wear with her lingerie frock, for $1.49, and three others——-regular petticoats—were next added. ‘Qne for $1.49 had a 12-inch lawn flounce, with rows of lace insertion set 'n and edged with lace to match. The flounce itself was beaded with a plece of insertion under which was an inch-wide pink ribbon tied into a full bow at one side.. The two others were onivy 98 cents, One had a wide flounce of embroidery and the other a ruffle

of lace and lawn, both well made and of good materials. Next we bought a silk one, in a change- able effect of orange and rose colors, price $1.95, to wear with her tailored suit, and a’ humble little ging- ham one for 49 cents completed the list of petticoats. Then the under- vests and _ stockings. Of the former we bought six at 12% cents apiece. Of the latter three pairs of silk lisle for a dollar were added to our quota of sensible things—and then, for our first extravagance, one pair of black silk stockings and one pair of white ones, at $1 per pair—not those with cotton tops and soles, but real all-silk. St. As we passed the corset department we saw a specia] sale going on, so we stopped and bought a good pair of stays for $1.00. We were dying, by this time, to get to the place on the list where it said gowns and hats, but there.were still things that she “had to have” to be got. She had to have a kimono and she “wanted” a negligee,so we took counsel and de- cided that if ever in her life a girl needed a pretty kimono it was ie 6-eer trousseau. There were pink ones and blue ones, red ones and purple ones. We bought a pretty one of pink cotton crepe, fig- ured in a sort of Jap- anese design in deli- cate colors, bound all around with pink satin. It was $1.50 and just what she needed. : Hanging near were some diaphanots, frilly looking negligees. “Just for fun” we priced: them—$2.48. Well! She simply “had” to have one—and I thought s0, too. We chose a white flowered muslin. one, with a design of roses, covering the white ground ‘so well that pink predominated, and so dainty. At last we had got to dresses. The wedding gown was first, so we started to the enchanted de- partment of airy, fairy frocks. On the way, we were attracted by a dummy that was wearing a delightful little tailored suit. It—the suit, not the dummy—was very plain, cut on the most modish lines, The coat was short, with smart little pockets, one’ on either side of the front below the waist line, and one high up on the left side: the sleeves and collar were mannish and it fastened with four buttons in front. The skirt, too, was plain, with a box_plait in the back, let loose below the knees. The material was one of those gray mixtures, excellent for every purpose, the kind that looks cool when worn with lingerie collar and cuffs in summer and smart and warm in the late fall with dark furs. Only $14.75. Needless to say, we took it on the spot. The Wedding Dress. OW, you know, a gir] with but $100, whois going to be married at home, and has to buy her wedding dress, as I have said, “ready to wear,” can’t think of a satin or chiffon f£own with a train, for a minute. A lingerie gown is the best thing she can possibly select, as noth- ing. is prettier or better for a summer bride. Then, too, it is such a serviceable dress for formal * and informal occasions all summer. We bought almost the. first one the model Twenty Dollar Bridal Costume Which Form a Part of the One Hundred Dollar Trousseau Bought by a Louis Working Girl, Posed by Miss Luella A. Heithier for the Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine, showed us. Why? Because it was altogether a charming little affair, dainty, in very good style and -cheap. It was made of English eyelet embroidery, com- bined with plain batiste, tucked vertically and set in between rows of narrow lace insertion. A narrow girdle of tucks and lace joined the skirt to the high-waisted bodice across the sides and back, but. stopped in front at either side of a panel that extended to the knees, where it met the flounce. The elbow sleeves, cut in one with the shoulder, were elaborately trimmed with lace and tucks. The’ neck was collarless, finishing in a small “Vv.” The skirt was long, touching the floor in front and lengthened gradually into the new “Colonial sweep’—not quite- a demi-train, but very pretty and graceful. Price, $9.95. Next, we bought two more dresses for general wear, one to take the place of a foulard, which is too warm for this climate after June, and another little frock for second. best. A cotton voile. gown, dark blue, with white | stripes, appealed to our fancy. It was exactly the kind of dress a woman wears morning, noon or right, to call in, to shop in—for any occasion. It was smartly plain, with its own stripes run- ning vertically here, on the bias there, and cross- wise another place. A collar of Trish lace, with a cravat made of cords and tassels finished. the neck, and down the middle of the blouse was a row of white china beads, close together, that gave quite a smart air to the gown, which was only $7.50/ The other frock was a dotted muslin, printed with coral pink rings. A tiny yoke of Irish cro- chet lace was set in between two tucks at either side of the front of the blouse and below it at either side pipings of coral satin showed. The sleeves and shoulder were in one, the sleeves turned the elbow, and here, too, were pip- ings of the satin above a turned-back cuff. A narrow corded belt, less than an inch wide, joined the waist and skirt. The skirt was tucked into it and the blouse was gathered in and was short-waisted. It was one of the freshest, dainti- est frocks I ever saw, and only $5.95, Irish crochet lace and all. Now, of course, my little bride will do the greater part of her own housework, and she would not look untidy while doing it. so she “simply. bad” to have a couple of little dresses to work in. We found them, two ginghams, one pink and one blue-checked, made with Dutch necks, elbow sleeves, skirts and waists joined with a belt of piain-colored gingham, pink and blue, which also faced the necks and sleeves. Good enough to wear anywhere, in tle morning to market or just walking, and $1.98 each, , Next came shoes. Anyone could do with two pairs, she claimed, a pair of white @uckskin pumps and a pair of black ones.

LE, ¥ > sf bee

You think canvas pumps would have served, and cost less? Well, perhaps so, but there is no “wear out” to buckskin, and they are a little smarter than canvas when one has but two pairs of shoes. We fell for a little pair of pink bedroom slip- pers, with largé pink pompoms, to. go with her pink kimono, and we bought a pair of white satin wedding slippers, with rosettes of chiffon. All told, her footgear cost $9.50. That made an awful hole.in our little pile, so we.sat down and took stock of what we had and what we hadn't. And Then, the Hats! ATS! Gracious! Hats! It sounded so ominous. A trousseau with no hats. But luck or something was with us, for we found a large black, thin straw—imitation hemp it was—the shape of the most costly real temp hats, with a rolling brim, large crown, fitting well down on the head, trimmed with a smashing bow of black satin ribbon across the top. It was stunning and just the thing, with any kind of dress, on any oceasion. It cost $4.98. At the store where we went for hats they do not charge for trimming when they furnish every- thing.

The un- broken horse, such as is now being bought at Fort Reno, costs considerably less than the horse ket. Few horses cannot .be handled, if taken young, but the longer a horse runs wild on tho range the greater are the odds that he cannot be broken Capt.

The horses were then sold to contract buyers. Horses Ready at Four Years. -geqgOUR years is the preferable age at which a F horse should enter army service. Capt. Hardeman has compiled the service record of each horse in a certain troop of cavalry: for,a period of nearly twenty years, and found that the service of the horses that came from the Missis- sippi Valley and east of it was twice as Jong as that of the range horses further west. It is possi~ bit that- because of their greater intractability a larger number of the Western horses were ré- moved from the troop and their,services to that extent impaired. The Western horse, however, has shown great improvement in the last ten or fifteen years. . Economy in better service and in greater length of seryice is what Gen. Aleshire and his associ- ates believe will come from the army horse of the future as the result of the Remount Depot. Nearly two thousand untrained horses have been finished at Fort Reno and sent to their com- mands, there to be adapted the more perfectly to their peculiar duties. Requests come daily to Capt. Hardeman from officers in the various gar risons, asking him to chodse and train private

mounts for them. Since the establishment of the depot Capt. Hardeman has sent two horses to Washington for the personal use. of Presigent Taft. Capt. Hardeman does not believe the native Western mustang or bronch® is a horse naturally endowed with greater strength and. endurance than the horse bred on the farm. The smaller size of the Western horses ‘he attributes to their exposure to the elements and their lack of food in winter and seasons of drouth, having lived in a’ wild state on the plains since the days they broke away from their Spanish maéters. Only the strongest and best survived,: which, in time, produced an extraordinarily hardy horse. The best native Western horse, combining both size and vigor, is found in Montaha and Wyoming.

Each trainer is paid from\ $35 to $40 a month, according to the length of his service. .He is given free lodging and medical treatment, but is required to maintain his own mess, The trainers are rarely injured by their horses, due in large measure to the methods of gentle training imposed by Capt.

in keeping with his policy of using gentleness with all horses. This was thé most spectacular feature of the training ground, and was a kind of equine merry-go-round. No “Broncho Busters’? Wanted. HIS kind of thing is now unknown at Fort T Reno. Gentleness, which requires kind- ness, is employed at all times. The typical broncho “buster” would begin. by roping his horse, forcing a cruel bit, into his mouth, cinching his Leavy saddle securely in place, and then springing astride the terrified animal with a war whoop, slashing with his quirt-and drawing* the blood with his sharp spurs. The mere weight. of the saddle would be sufficient to terrify a young \horse. The civilian tinker begins at the beginning. He halters his timid} horse, as gently as possible, and then tries ‘to-lead him, petting and caressing him, to gain his confidence. Then comes the bridle, with its strange bit., The horse’s legs sre rubbed and stroked, and shortly the trainer is lifting the horse’s feet. Then, gently, a soft blanket is placed on the horse’s back.. With his never-absent gentleness, the trainer leans on his horse’s back, ar-d finally mounts astride.

Trish Soldiers of Fortune Who Won Fame in South America CHILEAN, we suppose, would feel very sorry for a man who had never heard the ™glorious history of Bernardo O’Higgins, the Liberator of Chile, says the Daily News of London. Still, the yast majority of Bu- ' Yopeans are in that humiliating state, so. we Can keep each other in countenance. ’ . Q'Higgins was born in Peru, of which prov- _ nee of the Spanish empire his father was vice- roy. He embraced the cause of the revolution ~_when the Spanish-American colonies renounced _ their allegiance, and attached himself particu- _tarly to the Chilean cause. He was a famous fighter and when, after many reverses, liberty triumphed in Chile, he was made supreme di- * Gpeagad of the republic. The most remarkable exploit, however, in which he had a share is a part of the world’s Military history. This was the passage of the “Atdes effected by the army under San Martiz £0d O'Higgins which marched from Buenos . Ayres to the liberation of Chile in 1817. It was much more remarkable than Napoleon’s pas- -®age of the Alps. The summit of the Usapallata - Pass is 12,700 feet above the sea level, which is ‘Bome 6000 feet higher than the Great St. Ber- hard, by which Napoleon went; and over this pass Went an army of 5000 men, 1€00 horses and $000 mules. _ Wheeled transport was impossible. .

The route known now as Manchester road was the first lap of the old Oregon -trail that skirted the Mis- souri River. Over that trail Kit Carson _came* and went be- tween civilization in St. Louis and the wilderness of the wind-swept prairie. Along it passed Sub- lette and Daniel Boone, and others who made his- tory on the frontier. ‘ But the\ adventurers who accomplished most for the winning of the great West went and came'by the water route.of the Missouri River. How far these adventurers by water pushed into the wilderness may be seen today far up the Yellowstone River in Montana. There, rising crom the level plain as ff it had been dropped from the clouds, is a huge rock known as Pom- pey’s Pillar. Upon one of its sides, carvcd in the soft limestone, is the folowing: William Clark, July 25, 1806. The Josephine, June 3, 1875. The first was carved there by’the men of the Lewis and Clark’ expedition from St. Louis to the Pacific Coast in the early‘part of the last century. The last was put there by Grant Marsh, captain of the steamboat: Josephine _from ‘8t. Louis. Capt. Marsh is a St. Louis man who com- mands a steamboat now on “the upper Missouri River. His ae Grant Marsh Jr., lives in St. - Louis. Joseph Mills Hanson has written a book, “The Conquest of the Missouri,” from the log books of the different steamboats commanded by Capt. Marsh. It covers almost the entire period when adventurers from St. Louis were conquering for civilization that vast territory of the West in- cluded in the Missouri River Valley. The book is filled with thrilling stories of the doings of those men of the early time who went out upon that long water route. Poker Game on Eve of Battle. APT. MARSH is one of the men who made & history between the St. Louis levee and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. He and they were not looking for adventures, they were “just attending to business,” that was all. But they took part in stirring events, often when they were not expecting excitement. Capt. Marsh did this in 1876, when he and his crew stopped fishing to record in the log of the steamer “Far West” the greatest Indian victory of all é. After ‘commanding the Josephine in the Yel- lowstone expedition of 1875, when he left his rec-° ord with. Clark’s on Pompey’s Péllar, Capt. Marsh commanded the “Far West” in the Big Horn ex- pedition of 1876 against Sitting Bul] and his hos- tile Sioux warriors. fhe council ‘of war among Gen. Terry, Gen. Custer and Gen. Gibbon, just before the disas- trous battle with the Sioux, was held in the cabin of the “Far West.” Custer’s ordert were written in the cabin by Gen. Terry. = Custer and his fated seventh’ Cately * were to Jeave the next morning, and that last night be- fore the march was spent in a big game of poker in the cabin of the “Far West.” In the game were Capt. Marsh, Capt. Tom Custer, brother of the General; Lieut. Crowell of the Sixth Infan- try and others. Lieut. Crowell rose from the board winner of several thousand dollars. As Custer rode away the next day he waved his hand in farewell to Capt. Marsh. How the news of the massacre of Custer and every man with him was brought to the “Far West” is told as follows jn the book: “The waters of the Big Horn were clear and cold and teemed with fish. We had cut willow poles and were strung along the bank fishing, when, withouts the least warning, the thicket of green willows on the opposite bank parted and a mounted Indian warrior, of magnificent physique, -and stark naked, save for a breechclout, burst through and jerked up his sweating pony at the brink of the river. First News of Custer’s Death. : oe bar fishermen leaped to their feet with startled exclamations, but before they could run back the Indian held aloft his carbine in sign, of peace. They then paused end, upon looking at him more closely, saw from. his erect scalp locx that he was a Crow, and then, to their surprise, that he was Curley, one of the scouts who had gone with Cusftr, Motioning him to come to the boat, they hurried there them- selves, while he forded the stream and joined them. “As soon as he was on board he gave way to the’ most violent demonstrations of grief. Throw- ing himself down upon a medicine chest on deck he began rocking to and fro, groaning and crying: ‘For somé time it was impossible to calm him. When at length he had to some extent regained his self-control, the question arose as to how to communicate with him, for no one on board could understand the Crow language, while he spoke no English. Finally Capt. Baker produced a piece of Renee SMe PUNCH SEE showed the Pagian Row to use them. “Curley rere the + ponel and, cropping at

exclaiming at each blow:

on his stomach on the deck, began drawing a rude dicg:am, while about him the army and steam- boat officers gathered closely, waiting in silent : .suspense for his disclosures, for everyone guessed from his actions that he brought important news. The Crow drew first a circle and then, outside it, another. Between the inner and outer circles he began making numerous dots, repeating as he did so, in despairing accents: ‘Sioux! Sioux!’ “When he had quite filled up the intervening spece with dots, he glanced up at the intent faces around him and then began filling the interior circle with similar marks, while his voice rose to yet more dismal tone as he reiterated: ‘Absaroka! Absaroka!’ “That was the Indian name for soldiers. Then Curley sprang to his feet, faced his listeners and flung his arms wide. Swinging them back, he struck his breast repeatedly with his fingers, ‘Poof! Poof! Poof! Absaroka!’ “The white men stood in tense silence, search- ing each others’ faces. For a moment no one dared to confess that he understood. . Capt. Baker was the first to speak: ‘We’re whipped!’ he said, hoarsely. “Curley continued his pantomime by grasping his scalp lock with one hand, while with the other he described a circle around it, then made as if to jerk it off and hang it at his belt, mean- time executing a Sioux war dance. His ab- sorbed observers already realized that they were receiving the first news of a great battle and that Custer and his whole command had been sur- rounded, slain and scalped by the Sioux.” Thus the record made on the deck of’ the “Far West” was the first news of the Custer massacre by the only man who escaped. The “Far West” used in carrying soldiers and supplies in the long series of wars that cleared both banks of the Missouri of hostile Indians. Old Fort Bellefontaine was the first fort on the Missouri River garrisoned by AmeNican sol- diers. The site of the old fort, -well known to St. Louis automobilists, on the Charbonnier bluffs, between St. Charles and thé mouth of British Literateur Chesterton Prefers HE novels that bloom in the spring, tra-la, T their goodness and their badness, are con- sidered with all seriousness by G. K. Chesterton, the British literateur,,in T. P.’s Weekly. Among other things he considers is the cuestion of morals, and he points out that the Liood-and-thunder dime novel, or “nickel library,” as it is now generally known, is a very much bet- ter thing to read than the sensational novel, with its social problems and complex undercurrents— better for the’ whole family, in fact. “My taste,” he says, “is for the sensational] was one of the last boats | the Missouri River, overlooks the wreck of the “Far West.” After Capt. Marsh left the boat it sunk near the ‘ort. At low ‘water in summe- the bones of the old boat may be seen lifted above the mud flats. When Capt. Marsh first went up the Missour! the Indian war and massacre of 1863 in Minne- sota was just over. The smoke of a steamboat, curling into the air along the upper Missouri, was then a signal for war parties of hostile In- dians to line the banks and begin shooting at the boats. It occurred so often that the pilot house was sheeted with boiler iron. This kept the pilots from harm until the Indians learned that by getting upon the summit of a high bluff, they could shoot down into the pilot house. Then a cap of boiler iron was placed over the pilot house. But these Indian attacks received only one line in the log book, while an onslaught of buffa- loes against the boat was chronicled at great length. Steamboat Stopped by Buffaloes. HE “Ida Stockdale,””’ commanded by Capt. Marsh, was passing Blk Horn prairie once when she was stopped by a great herd of buffalo fording the river at that place. They surrounded the boat and became entangled in the paddle wheels, ‘so thaty after the last animal had crossed, it took several] hours of hard work to pull the carcasses out of the wheels. Capt. Marsh tells of his first meeting with Wil- weakness and I ask no more. But a novel with- out any death in it is likely to be a novel without any life in it. I admit that the very best of the tea table novels are great art. Sheer ctemental genius can make a work of art out of anything. Michael Angelo might make a statue out of mud, and Jane Austen could make a novel out of tea— that much more contemptible substance. “But on the whole I still think that a tale about one man killing another man is more likely to have something in it than a tale in which all the characters are talking trivjafities without any Crook’s chief scout. ‘Dime ‘Novels’ : CNPEY'S PILLAR, LOWSTONE RIVER, MONT.

liam F. Cody, “Buffalo Bill,” in 1876, at the mouth of Powder River. Cody was then Gen. Capt. Marsh says of him: “Col. Cody was ever a picturesque personality, and never more so than when on this campaign, during which he performed some of his most daring exploits. He was a young man then, barely 30 years of age, strong, graceful and of splendid physique. Dressed in an _ elaborate, fringed buckskin suit, with revolver and bowie knife at belt, high riding boots and broad som- brero, he was a figure to attract attention any- where, while his forceful manner, his readiness of resource in any emergency and his utter dis- regard for danger, would have marked him as a phenomenal man, without any embellishments of attire. »* “Just a:month to.a Gay before his arrival at the Powder, while marching soquthward with Crook to meet the Fifth Cavalry under Merritt, ‘Buffalo Bill’ had met with a thrilling experience. A large body of Indians had been encountered and he, riding with his usual daring in front of the command, had suddenly come face to face with ‘Yellow Hand,’ a noted Cheyenne chief. They engaged in a spectacular duel, which was ended by the scout slaying ‘Yellow Hand’ with bis knife. ‘Buffalo Bill’ then scalped him and, swinging the scalp, with the war bonnet still at- tached to it, in the faces of the oncoming In- dians, shouted: * . “ kind ‘of rest he found, as shown ope | Seventy miles downstream from S d boat pushing a lumber barge, he awit: th pilot house a cyclone coming.

vanished as soon as he was seen, no one knowing how or where. As bccame a real ghost, he made no noise in walking. People began by laughing and making fun of this specter dressed like a man of fashion or an under- taker: but the ghost legend soon swelled to enormous proportions among the corps de ballet. All the girls pre- tended to have met this supernatural being more or less often. And those who laughed the loudest were not the most at ease.

Had any one met him with a fall. or suffer- ed a practical joke at the hands of one of the other girls. or lost a powder-puff, it was at once the fault of the ghost, of the Opera ghost. After all, who had seen him? in dress clothes at the Opera who are not ghosts. this dress-suit had a peculiarity of its own. It covered a skeleton. At least, so the ballet girls said. And, of course, it had a death’s head. Was all this serious? The truth is that the idea of the ‘skeleton came from the description of the ghost given by Joseph Buduet, the chiet-scene-shifter, who had really seen the ghost, He had. run up against the ghost on the little staircase, by the footlights, which leads to “the cellars.” He had seen him for aSec- ond—for the ghost had fled—and You. meet so many mea The amazing.

And why? Because he had seen coin- ing toward him, at the level of his head, but without 8 body attached to it, a hend of fire! And, as I said, a fireman is not afraid of fire. The fireman’s name was Pampin. The corps de ballet -was flung into consternation. At first sight, this fiery head in no way cor respondea wit! Joseph Buquet’s description of the ghost. But the young ladies soon persuaded themselves that the ghost _ had several heads, which he changed about as he pleased.

A _ respectahle lady, built on the lines of a Pomeranian grenadier, burst into the dressing room and dropped groaning into a vacant arm- chair. Her eyes rolled madly in her brick-dust colored face. ‘How awful!” she said. “How awful!” “What?

Moncharegin, one of the joint manacers~ who succeeded MM. Debienne and Poligny, describes the incident as fol'ows: “A grievous accident spoiled the little party which MM. Debienne and Poligny zave to celebrate their retirement. I was in the manager's office, when Mercier, the stage-manager, suddenly came darting i. He seemed half mad and told me that the pody of a scene-shifter had heen found hanging in the third cellar under the stage, between a farm house and a scene from the “Kot de Lahere.” I shouted: are “*Come and cut him down!’ “But the time I had rushed down the staircuse and the Jacob’s ladder, the man was no longer hanging from his rope!” So this is an event which M, Moncharmin thinks nate ural.

"The Comte de Chagny, = was one Of those standing outside, laughed:: “Oh, the rogue, the rogue!” And he added, under kica breath; “Those youngsters with ‘their school girl airs! So he’s a Chagny after all!” He turned to go to Sorelli’s diniabcun! -room, but met her on the way, with her little troop of trembling ballet- girls, as we have seen, Meanwhile, Christine Daae uttered a deep sigh, which was answered by a groan. She turned her head, saw Raoul and started. She looked at the goctor, on whom she bestowed a smile, then at hér hand, then at Raoul again. “Monsieur,” she said, in a voice not much above a whisper, “who are you?” “Mademoiselle,” replied the young man, kneeling on one knee and pressing a fervent kiss on the diva’s hand, “IT am the little bey who wert into the sea to reseuve your scarf,” Christine again looked at the doetor and the maid; and all three began to laugh. Raoul turned very red and stood wp. “Mademoiselle,” he said, private, something very important.” “When I am better, do you mind?” shook. “You have been very good.” “Yes, you must go,” said the doctor, with his pleasant- est smile. ‘‘Leave the to attend to mademoiselle.” “I am not ill now,” said Christine suddenly, strange and unexpected energy. She rose and passed her hand over her eyelids, “Thank you, Dector. I should like to be.alone. Please gO away, all of you. Leave me. I feel very restless this evening.” . The doctor tried to make a short protest, but, perceiv- ing the girl's evident agitation, he thotght the best remedy was not to thwart her. And he went away, say- ing to Raoul, outside: “She is not herself tonight. She is usually so gentle,” Thenfhe said good night and Raoul was ieft alone. The whoie of this part of the theater was now deserted. The farewell ceremony was no deubt taking place in the foyer of the ballet. Raoul theught that ‘Daae might go to it and he waited in the silent solitude, even hiding in the favoring shadow of a doorway. He felt a terrible pain at his heart and it was of this that. he wanted to speak te. Daae without delay. Suddenly the dressing-room door opened and the maid eame out by herself, carrying bundles. He stopped her And her voice with = nt ae Philippe Georges Marie Comte de Chagny was just gnd asked how her mistress was. The woman laughed and said that she was quite well, but that he must not disturb her, for she wished to be left alone. And she passed on. One idea alone fited Raoul’s burning brain; of course, Daae wished to be left alone for him! Had he not told her that he wanted to speak to her privately? Hardly breathing, he went up to the dressing room and, with his ear to the door to eatch her reply, prepared to kfiock. But his hand dropped. He had heard a man’s volec in the dressing room, saying, in a curiously master- ful tone: “Christine, you must love me!” And Christine’s voice, infinitely sad and trembling, as though accompanied by teang, replied: “How can you talk like that? When I sing only for you!” Raoul leaned against the panel to ease his pain. His heart, which had seemed gone forever, returned to his breast and was throbbing loudly. The whole passage echoed with its beating and Raoul’s ears were deafened. Surely, if his heart continued to make such a noise, they would hear it inside, they would open the door and the young man would be turned away in disgrace. What a position for a Chagny! To be caught listening behind a door! He took his heart in his two hands to make it stop. The nian’s voice spoke again: “Are you very tired?” “Oh, tonight I gave you my soul and I am dead!” Chris- tine replied. . “Your soul is a beautiful thing, child,” replied the grave man’s voice, “and I thank you. No emperor ever received so fair a gift. The angels wept tonight.” Raoul) heard nothing after that. Nevertheless, he did not go away, but, as though he feared lest he should be caught, he returned to his dark corner, determined to wait for the man to leave the room. At one and the same time, Me had learned what love meant, and hatred. He knew that he loved. He wanted to know whom he hated. To his great astonishment, the door opened and Christine Daae appeared, wrapped in furs, with her face hidden in lace veil, alone. She closed the door behind her, but Raoul observed that she did not lock it. She passed him. He ¢'d not even follow her with his eves, fer his eyes were fix.u on the door, which did not open again. .When the passage was once more deserted, he crossed it, opened the door of the dressing room, went in and shut the door. He found himself in absolute darkness. ‘The gas had been turned out. “There is some one here!” said Raoul, with his back against the closed door, in a quivering voice. “What are you hiding for?” All was darkness and stlence. Raoul heard only the sound of his own breathing. He quite failed to see that the indiscretion of his conduct was exceeding all bounds. “You shan’t leave this until I let you!” he exclaimed. “If you don’t answer, you are a coward! But I’ll expose you!” And he struck a match. The blaze lit up the room, .There was no one in the room! Raoul, first turning the key in the door, lit the gas jets. He went into the dress- ing closet, opened the cupboards, hunted abvout, felt the walls with his moist hands. Nothing! “Look here!” he said, aloud. “Am I going mad?’ He stood for 10 minutes listening to the gas flaring in the silence of the empty room; lover though he was, he did hot even think of stealing a ribbon that would have given him the perfume of the woman he loved. He went out, not knowing what he was doing nor where he was going, At a given moment in his wayward progress, an icy draft struck hjm in the face. He found himself at the bottom of a staircase, down which, behind him, a pro- cession of workmen were carrying a sort of stretcher, covered with a white sheet. “Which is the way out, please?” he asked of one af the men, “Straight in front of you, the door is open. ss.”"_. Pointing to the stretcher, he asked mechanically: “What's that?” ) The workmen answered: “That’ is Joseph Buquet, who was found in the third eellar, hanging between _@ farm house and a scene from the Roi d Lahore.” : , He took off his hat, fell back to make room for the procession and went out. — But let us CHAPTER IL THE MYSTERIOUS REASON. URING this time, the farewell ceremony was taking place, I have already said that this magnificent function was being given on the occasion of the retirement ef M. Debienne and M. Poligny, who had determined to “die game,” as we say powadays. “since you are pleased not to. recognize me, I should like to say something to you in They had been assisted in the realization of their ideal, though melancholy, program by all that counted in the- s0cial and artistic world of Paris. All these people met, after the performance, in the foyer of the ballet, where Sorelli waited for the arrival of the retiring managers with a glass of champagne in her hand and a little pre- pared speech at thé tip of her tongue. Behind her, the members of the corps de ballet, young and old, discussed the events of the day in whispers or exchanged discreet signals with their friends, a noisy crowd of whom sur- rounded the supper tables arranged along the slanting floor. Sorelli had begun to recite her speech, when an ex- clamation from that little madcap of a Jammes broke the smile of the managers so brutally that the expression of distress and dismay that lay beneath it became appar- en to all eyes: an “The Opera ghost!” Jammes yelled these words in a tone of unspeakable terror; and her finggr pointed, among the crowd of dan- dies, to a face so pallid, sq lugubrious and soe ugly, with twe such deép black cavities under the straddling eye- brows, that the geath’s head in question immediately scored a huge success. “The Opera ghost! The Opera ghost!” Everybody laughed and pushed his neighbor and wanted to offér the Opera ghost_a drink, but he was gone, He had slipped through the crowd; and the others vainly hunted for him, while two old gentlemen tried to calm little Jammes and while Bethe Giry stood screaming ifke a peacock. The supper was almost gay and a particularly clever speech of the representative of the government, mingling © the glories of the past with the successes of the future, : caused the greatest cordiality to prevail. The retiring managers had already handed over to their successors the two tiny master keys which opened all the doors—thousands of doors—of the Opera house. And those little keys, the object of general curiosity, were being passed fyom hand to hand, when the atten- tion of some of the guests was diverted’by their dis- covery, at the end of the table, of that strange, wan and fantastie face, with the hollow eyes, which had already appeared in the foyer of the bailet and been greeted by little Jammes’ exclamation: — “The Opera ghost!” . There sat the ghost, as natural as could be, except that he neither ate nor drank. Those who began by looking at him with a smile ended by turning away their heads, for the sight of him at once provoked the most funereal thoughts. No one repeated the joke of the foyer, no one exclaimed: “There’s the Opera. ghost!” He himself did not speak a word and his very netxh« bors could not have stated at what precise moment he had sat down between them; but every one felt that if the dead did ever come and sit at the table of the living, they could not cut a more ghastly figure. The friends of Firmin Richard and Armand Moncharmin thought that this lean and skinny guest was an acquaintance of De- bienne’s or Poligny’s, wtile Debienne’s and Poligny’s friends believed that the cadaverous individual belonged to Firmin Richard and Armand Moncharmin’s party. The result was that no request was made for an ex- planation; no unpleasant remark; no joke in bad taste, which might have offended this visitor from the tomb, A few of those present who knew the story of the ghost and the description of him given by the chief scene- shifter—they did not know of Joseph Buquet’s death— thought, in their own minds, that the man at the end of the table might easily have passed for him; and yet, ac- cording to the story, the ghost had no nose and the per- son in question had. But M. Moncharmin declares, in his Memoirs, that the guest’s nose was transparent: “long, thin and transparent” are his exact words. I, for my part, will add that this might very well apply to a false nose, “The ballet-girls are right,” he said. “The death of that poor Buquet is perhaps not so natural as people think.” Debienne and Poligny gave a start. “Is Buquet dead?” they cried. “Yes,” replied the man, or the shadow of a man, quietly. “He was found, this evening, hanging in the third cellar, between a farm-house and a scene from froin the Roi de Lahore.”’ The two managers, or rather ex-managers, at once rose: and stared strangely at the speaker. At last, Debienne Made a sign to MM. Richard and Moncharmin; Poligny muttered a few words of excuse to the guests; and all four went to the managers office. I leave M. Mon- charmin to complete the story. In his Memoirs, he say:: “MM. Debiene and Poligny seemed to grow more an‘ more excited, and they appeared to have something very Aifficult to tell us. First, they asked us if we knew the man, sitting at the end of the table, who had told them of the death of Joseph Buquet;, and, when we answered in the negative, they looked still more concerned. Thev took the master-keys from our hands, stared,at them for a moment and advised us to havé new locks made, with the greatest secrecy, for the rooms, closets and presses that we might wish to have hermetically closed. They said this so funnily that we began to laugh and to ask if there were thieves at the Opera. They replied that there was something worse, which was the ghost. We began to laugh again, feeling sure that they were indulg- ing in some Joke that was intended to crown our little entertainment, Then, at their request, we became ‘se- rious, resolving to humor them and to enter into tha. spirit of the game. They told us that they never would have spoken to us of the ghost, if they had not receiveri formal orders from the ghost himself to ask us to be pleasant to him and to grant any request that he might make: However, in their relief at leaving a domain where that tyrannical shade held sway, they had hesi- tated until the last moment to tell us this curious story, which our skeptical minds =e certainly not prepared to entertain. But the anousttement of the death of Jo- seph Buquet had served them.as a brutal reminder that, whenever they had disregarded the ghosts wishes, some fantastic or disastrous event had brought them to a sense of their dependence. “During these unexpected utterances made in a tone of the most secret and important confidence, I looked at Richard. Richard, in his student days; had acquired a great reputation for practical joking, and he seemed to relish the’dish which was being served to him in his turn. He did not miss a mime of it, though the seasoning wa; a little gruesome nodded his head sadly, while the others spoke, and his features assumed the air of a man who bitterly regretted having taken over the Opera, now that he Kne that there was a ghost mixed up in the business. I could think of nothing better than to give him a servile imi- tation of this~attitude of despair. However, in spite of all our efforts, we could net, at the finish, help bursting out laughing in the faces of MM. Debienne and Poligny, who, seeing us pass straight from the gioomiest state of” mind to one of the most insolent merriment, acted as though they thought that we had gone mad. “The joke became a little tedious; and Richard asked half seriously and half fn jest: “*But, after all, what does this ghost of yours want?’ “M. Poligny went to his desk and returned with a copy of the memorandum book. The memorandum book be- gins with the well-known words saying that ‘the man- agement of the Opera shal) give to the performance of the National Academy of Music the splendor that becomes _FicTion /secTion ST. — POST-DISPATCH- MAY 7, 1911.

the first lyric stage in France and ends with Clause 98, - which says that the privilege can be withdrawn if the ‘manager infringes the conditions stipulated in the mem- erandum book. This is followed by the conditions, which are four in number. “The copy produged by M. Poligny was written in black ink and exactly similar to that in our-possession, except that, at the end, it contained“a paragraph in red ink and in a queer, labored handwriting, as though it had been produced by dipping the heads of matches into the ini, the writing of a child that has never got beyond the _ down-strokes and has not learned to join its letters, This paragraph ran, word for word, as follows: “‘Or if the manager, in any month, deley for more tan a fortnight the paymen: of the allowance whicn he shall make to the Opera ghost, an allawance of 20,009 francs a*montb, say 240,000 francs a year.’ “M. Poligny pointed with a hesitating finger to "this last clause, which we certainly did not expect. “Is this all? Does he want anything else?” asked Richard, with great “coolness. “*Yes, he does,” replied Poligny. “And -he turned over the pages of the memorandum book until he came to the clause specifying the days on Which certain private boxes were to be,réserved for the free use of the president of the republic, the ministers and so on. At thé end.of this_clause,ga line had been added, also in red ink: “‘*Box Five on the grand. tier shall be placed at the disposal of the Opera ghost for every performance.’ “When we saw this, there was nothing elseefor us to to do but rise from our chairs, shake our two predeces- sors warmly by the hand and congratulate them on thinking of this charming little joke, which proved that the old French sense of humor was never likely to be- come extinct. Richard added that he now understood why MM. Debienne and Poligny were retiring from the National Academy of Music. Business was impossibie with so unreasonable a ghost. ne we prefer to go away. ‘We -have a. gentlemen, try it.’ Richard and I “‘Certainly, 240,000 francs are not picked up for the asking,’ said M. Poligny, without moving a muscle of his face. ‘And have you considered what the‘loss over Box Five means to us? We did not sell it once; and not only that, but we had to return the Subscription: .why, it’s awful! We really can’t work to keep ghosts! We prefer to go away’ * *Yes,’ echoed M., Debienne,’ Let us go.’ . “And he stood up. Richard said: ‘But, after all all, it seems to me that you were much too kind to the ghost. If IT had such a troublesome ghost as that, I should not hesitate to have him arrested’ “But how? Where?’ they cried, in chorus. never seen him” “*But when he comes to his box” ““We have never seen him in his box.’ “Then sell it.’ “Sell the Opera ghost’s box!

HE first few days which the partners spent at the Opera were given over to the delight of finding | themselves the head of so magnificent an enter- « prise; and they had forgotten all about that curious, fantastic story of the ghost, when an incideut occurred that proved to them that the joke—if joke it were—was not over. M. Firmin Richard reached his of- fice that morning~at 11 o'clock. His secretary M. Remy, shewed him a half dozen fetters which he had not opened because they were marked “private.’ One of the letters had at ence attracted Richard’s attention. not only because the envelope was addressed in red ink, but ‘because he seemed to have seen the writing before. He soon remembered that it was the red handwriting in which the memorandum-book had been so curiously com- pleted. He recognized the clumsy childish hand. He opened the letter and read: Dear Mr. Manager: I am sorry to have to trouble you at a time when you must be so very busy, renewing important engagements, signing fresh ones and generally displaying your ex- cellent taste. I know what you have done for Carlotta, Sorelli and little Jammes and for a few others whose ad- mirable qualities of talent or genius you have suspected. Of course, when I use these words, I do not mean to apply them to La Carlotta, who,sings like a squirt and who ought never to have been allowed to leave the Am- bassadeurs and the Cafe Jacquin; nor to La Sorelli, who owes her success mainly to the coachbuilders; nor to little Jammes, who dances like a calf in a field. And I am not speaking of Christine Daae either, though her genius is certain, whereas your jealousy prevents her from creating any important part. When all is said, you are frée to conduct your little business as you think best, are you not? All the same, I should like to take advantage of the fact that you have not yet turned Christine Daae out of doors by hearing her this evening in the part of Siebel, as that of Margarita has been forbidden her since her triumph of the other evening; and I will ask you not to dispose ef my box today nor on the following days, for I cannot end thfs lettér without telling you how dis- agreeably surprised I have been once or twice, to hear, on arriving dt the Opera, that my box had been sold, at the box office, by your orders. -I did not protest, first, because I dislike scandal, and, second, because I thought that your predecessors, MM. Debienne and Poligny, who were always charming to me, had neglected, before leaving, to mention my little fads to you. I have now received a reply from those gentlemen to my letter asking for,an explanation, and this reply proves that you know all about my memo- randum book and, consequently, that you are treating me with outrageous contempt. If you wish to live in Peace, you must not begin by taking away my private box, Believe me to be, dear Mr. Manager, without prejudice to these little observations, Your Most Humble and Obedient Servant, OPERA GHOST. The letter was accompasted by a cutting from the agony-columin of the Revue Theatrale, which ran: O. G.—There is no excuse for R. and M. We told them and left your memorandum book in their hands. Kind regards. — M.<Firmin Richard had hardly finished reading this letter when M. Armand Moncharmin entered, carrying a exactly similar. They -leoked at each <dther and- burst out laughing. “They are keeping up the joke,” said M, Richard, “but I don’t call it funny.” “What does it all mean?” asked M. Moncharmin. “Do they imagine that, because they have been managers of the we are going to let them have a box for an indefinit period?” “I am not’ in the mood to let myself be laughed at long,” said Firmin Richard. ; “It's harmless enough,” observed.

On the other hand, there was a lettére from MM. bienne and Poligny: Gentlemen: : ; We are much obliged for your kind thought of us, but you will easily understand that’ the. prospect of again hearing “Faust,” pleasant though it is to ex-managers of, the Opera, cannot make™us forget~that we have n6 right to oécupy Box Five on the grand tier, which ts the exclusive property of him of whom we spoke to you when we went through the memorandum book with you for the last time. See Clause 98, final pornereph, Accept, gentlemen, etc. “Oh, those fellows are beginning to annoy me!” shouted Firmin Richard, snatching up the letter. x And that evening Box Ffve was sold. The next morning, MM. Richard and Moncharmin; en reaching their office, found an inspector's report relating io an incident that had happened, the night befere, in Box Five. I give the essential part of the report: S I was obliged to call in a municipal guard twice, this evening, to clear Box Five on the grand tier, once at the beginning and once in.the middle of the second act. The occupants, who arrived as the curtain rose on the second act, created a régular scandal by their laughter and their ridiculous observations. There were cries of “Hush!” all around them and the whole house was beginning to pro- test, when the box-keéper came to fetch me. I entered the box and said what I thought necessary. The people did not seem to me to be in their right mind; and they made stupid remarks. I said that, if the neise was re- peated, I should be compelled to clear the bex. The moment I ieft, I heard the laughing again, with fresh protests from the house. I returned with a municipal guard, who turned them eut. They protested, still laugh- ing, saying they wou!d not go unless they had their money back. them to erter the box again. commenced; and, this time, definitely. “Send for the inspector,” said Richard to ‘bis secretary, who had already read the report and marked it with blue pencil. “M. Remy, the secretary, callcd the inspector at once. “Tell us what happened,” said Richard bluntly, The inspector began to splutter and referred to the report. “Welt, hut what were those people ns at?’ asked Moncharmin. “They must have been dining, sir, and dieiees more in- clined to lark about than to listen té' good music. The moment they entered the box, they eame out again and called the boxkeeper, who asked them what they wanted. They said, ‘Look in the box; there’s no one there, is there?’ ‘No,’ said theywoman. ‘Wel,’ said they, ‘when we went in, we heard a voice saying that the box was taken.’ * “However, when the people arrived,” roared Richard, “there was no one in the box, was there?” “Not a soul, sir, not a soul! Nor in the box on the right, nor in the bex on the jeft; not a soul, sir, I swear!” M. Remy had sent for the boxkeeper te the Rue de Provence, close to the Opera, where she was engaged as a porteress. She soon made her appearance. “What’s your name?” “Mame Giry. You know me well enough, sir; I’m the mother of little Giry, little Meg, what?’ “What happened last night.” Mame Giry turned purple with indignation. Never had she been spoken to: like that. She rose as though to go, gathering up the folds of her skirt ‘and waving the feathers of her dingy bonnet with dignity, but, changing her mind, she sat down again and said, in a haughty voice: “ “Tll tell you what haypened. The ghost was annoyed again!”’ “But you have spoken to the ghost, my good lady?” “As I’m speaking to you now, my good sir!” Mame Giry replied. “And when the ghost speaks to you, what does he say?’ “Well, he tells me to bring him a feotstool!” ) This time, Richard burst out laughing, as did Mon- charmin and ‘Remy, the secretary. Only the inspector, warned by experience, was careful not to laugh, while Mame Giry ventured to adopt an attitude that was posi- tively threatening. “Instead of laughing,” she cried indignantly, ‘you'd do better to do as M, a Acard did, who found vut for him-,s self.”’ “Found out about what?” asked Moncharmir® who had never been so much amused in his life. “About the ghost, of course! . , Look here She suddenly calmed herself, feeling that this was a solemn moment in her life: “Look here,” she repeated. “They were playing La Juive. M. Poligny thought he would watch the per- formance from the ghost’s box. . Well, when Leo- pold cries, ‘Let us fly!’—-you know—and Eleazer stops them and says, ‘Whither go ye?’ . well, M. Poligny —I was watching him from the back of the next box, which was empty—M. Poligny got up and walked out quite stiffiy, like a statue, and before I had time to ask him, ‘Whither go ye? like Eleaser, he was down — staircase.” “Still, that doesn't let us know how the Opera haat came to ask you for a footstool,” instste@ M. Moncharmin. “Well, from that evening, no one tried to take the ghost’s private box from him. The manager gave erders that he was to have it at each performance, And, when- ever he came, he asked me for a feotstonl.” “Tyt, tut! A ghost asking for a footstool}! ghost of yours is a woman?” “No, the ghost is @ man.” “How do you know?’ “He has a man’s voice, oh? suth a lovely man’s voice! This ig what happens: When he comes to the opera, it’s usually in the middle of the first act. He gives three little taps “on the door of Box Five. The first time I heard those three taps, when I knew there was no one in the box, you can think hew p I was! I opened the door, listened; lo6ked; nobedy! And then I heard a voice say, ‘Mame Jules’—my poor husband's name was Jules—‘a footstool, please,’ Saving your presence, gen- tlemen, it made me feel aill-overish like. But the voice went on, “Don't be frightened, Mame Jules, I'm the Opera ghost!’ .And the voice was so soft and kind that I hardly felt frightened.

At last, they became quiet and I allowed, “Was there any one in the eox on the rrewre or Five?” asked Moncharmin. “No; Box Seven, and B6x Three, the one on the sda were both empty. The curtain lad only just-gone up.”. “And what did you do?” “Well, I brought the footstool. for himself he wanted \it, but for his lady! heard her nor saw-her.” ; “Eh? What? So now the ghost is minsried!” The eyes of the two managers traveled from Mame Giry to the inspector, who, standing behind the bexkeeper, was waving his arms to attract their attention, He tapped his forehead with a distressful ferefinger, tS convey his opinion that — Jules Giry was most certainfy mad, a piece of pantomime which confirmed ue. Richard in his determination to get rid of an inspecto® who kept a lunatic in his service. Meanwhile, the wofthy lady went on about her ghost, now painting his’ generosity: “At the end of t performance. he always gives me twé francs, sometimes five, sometimes even ten, when he has been many days without coming. Only, since people have pesun to annoy egies ai he gives, me aothing af.

That's one of the ghosts pretty thoughts.” . CHAPTER V. THE. ENCHANTED VIOLIN. HRISTINB DAAE, owing to intrigues to which I - wilt return later, did net immediately continue her triumph at the Opera. After the famous gala | night, she sang once at the Duchess de Zurich's; buf this was the last occasion on which she was heard in private. She réfused, without plausible excuse, to ap- pear at a charity concert to which she had promised her assistance. She acted throughout as th@yeh she were no longer the mistress of her own destiny and as though she feared a fresh triumph. She knew ‘that the Comte de Chagny, to please his brother, had done his best on her behalf with M. Richard; and shé wrote to thank him and also to ask him to cease speaking in her favor. Her reason for this curious atti- tude was never known. Some pretended that it was due. to everweening pride; others spake of her heavenly modesty. But people on the stage are not s0 modest as all that; and I think that ] shall not be far from the truth if I ascribe her action simply to fear. Yes, I be- lieve that Christine Daae was frighténed by what had happened to her. I have a letter of Christine's (it forms part of the Persian’s collection), relating to this period, which suggests a Yeeling of absolute disinay: “I don’t know. myself when I sing,” writes the poor child. She showed herself nowhere; and the’Vicomte de Chag- ny tried in vain to meet her. Be wrote to her, asking to call upon her, but despaired of receiving a reply when, one morning, she sent him the following note: Mensieur: I have net forgotten the little boy whe went info the sea to rescue my scarf. I feel that I must write to you today, when I am going to Perros, in fulfillment of a sacred duty. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of my poor father, whom you knew and who was very fond of you. He is buried there, with his violin, in the graveyard of the little church, at the bottom of the slope where we used to play as children, beside the road where, when we were a little bigger,;we said good-by for the last time, The Viecomte de Chagny hurriedly egnsulted a railway guide, dressed as quickly as he could, wrote a few lines for his valet to take to his brother and jumped into a cab which brought him to the Gare Montparnasse just in time to miss the merning train. He spent a dismal day in town and did not recover his spirits until the evening, when he was seated in his compartment in the Brittany express. He read Christine's note over and over again, smelling its perfume, recalling the sweet pictures of hig childhood, and spent the rest of that tedious night joure ney in feverish dreams that began and ended with Chris- tine Daae. Day was breaking when he alighted at Lan- nion, He hurried to the diligence for Perros-Guirec. He was the only passengers He questioned the driver and learned that, on the evening of the previous day, @ young lady who looked like a Parisian had gone te Perros and put up at the inn known as the Sitting .Sun. The nearer he drew to her, the more fondly nb rememe bered the story of the little Swedish singer. Most of the details are still unknown to the public. There was once, in a little market town not far from Upsala, a peasant who lived there with his family, dig« ging the earth during the week and singing in the choip on Sundays. This peasant had a little daughter to whorw he taught the nrusical alphabet before she knew how t@ read. Daae’s father was a great musician, perhaps wit!ie out knowing it. Not a fiddler throughout the length @@€@ breath of Scandinavia played as he did. His reputatiow was wide-spread and he was always invited ta set the couples dancing at weddings and other festivals. Hig wife died when Christine was entering upon her sixii year. Then the father, who cared only for his daughter and his music, gold his patch of ground and went to lp- sala in search of fame and fortune. He found nothing but poverty. J He returned to the country, ‘wandering from. fair to - fair, struniming his Scandinavian melodies, while his® child, who never left his side, listencd to him im ecstacy or sang to his playing. One day, at Ljimby Fair, Prof, Valerius heard them and took them to Gothenburg. He maintained that the father was the first violinist in the world and that the daughter had the making of a great artist. Her education and instruction were provided for. She made rapid progress and charmed everybody with her prettipess, her grace of manner and her genuine eagerness to please. When Valerius and his wife went to settle in France, . they ,took Daae and Christine with them. “Mamma” Valerius treated Christine az her daughter. As for Dae, he .begam to pine away with home sickness. He never, , = went out of doors in Paris, but lived in a sort of dream. which he kept up with hie violin. For hours at a time he remained locked up in his bedroon? with his daughter, fiddling and singing, very, very softly. Sometimes Mam- ma Valerius would come and listen behind the door, wipe away a tear and go down stairs again on tiptoe, sighing for her Scandinavian skieq. ~ -Daae seemed not te recover his strength ‘until the summer, when the wh0le family went to stay at Perros-. Guiree, in a far-away corner of Brittany, where the sea was a the same color as his own country. Often he he tee 3 Kot 2, = Se <, “1 - 5 : vir % Pers ae ae ¢ ; ;

Stayirg at Lannion’ with his’ aunt: : During the season, they saw-.each other and played: together almost every day. Af the-aunt’s request, sec- ended: by Prof. Valerius, Daae seonsented to «give the. young viscount some violin lessons. In this way, Raoul learned to love the same airs that had charmed Chris- tire's childhood. - They also both pee the same calm and dreamy litle cast of mind. ' The Angel of Music played a part in all Daddy Daae‘'s tales; and he maintained that every reat musician, @very great artist received a visit -from the Angel at _ Beast once in his life. Sometimes the Angel leans over their cradle, as happened to Lotte, and that is how there are little prodigies whe play the fiddle at 6 better than men at 50,°which you ‘must admit, is very wonderful. Sometimes, th® Angel comes mueh later, because the children are naughty and won't learn their lessons or practice their scales. And, sometimes, he does not come at all, because the children have a bad heart or a bad conscience. No One ever.sees the Angel; but he is heard by those who are mean to hear him. He. often comes when they least expect him, when they are sad and dis- heartened. Then their ears suddenly perceive celestial harmonies, a divine voice, which they remember all their lives. Persons who are visited by the Angel quiver with @ thrill unknown to the rest of mankind. And they can- not touch an instrument, or open their mouths to sing, without producing sounds that put all other human sounds to shame, Then people who do not Know the Ansel has visited these persons say that they have genius. : Little Christine asked her father if he had heard the Angel of Music. But Daddy Daae shook his head kh and then his eyes Ht up, as he said: “You will hear him one day, my child! in Heaven, I will send -him to you!” Dacdy was beginning to cough at that time. Three years later, Raou] and Christine met again at Perros Prof. Valerius was dead, but his widow re- mained in France and Daddy Daae and his daughter, whe continued to play the violin and sing, wrapping in their dream of harmony their kind patroness, who seem 2d henceforth to live on music alone. The young man, ae he now was, had come to Perros on the chance of find- ing them and went straight to the house in which they used to stay. He first saw the old man; and then Chris- tine entered, carrying the tea tray. She flushed at the sight of Raoul, who went up to her and kissed her. She asked him a fewsaquestions, performing her duties as hostess prettily, took up the tray again and left the room. Then she ran into the garden and took refug? on a bench, a prey to feelings that stirred her young heart for the first time. Raoul followed her and they talked till the evening, very shyly.. They were quite changed, cautious as two diplomatists, and told each other things that had nothing to do with>their budding sentiments. When they took leave of each other by the roadside, Raoul, pressing a kiss on Christine’s trembling hand, said: “Mademoiselle, I shall never forget you!”’’ And he went away regretting his words, for he eae that Christine could not be the wife of Vicomte de Chagny. As for Christine.~she tried not to think of him and devoted herself: wholly to her art. She mode wonderful progress and those who heard her prophesied that she would be the grestest singer in the world. Meanwhile, the father died: and, suddenly, she seemed to have Tost. with him, her voice, her soul and her genius. She re- tairnea just, but only just, enough of this to entér the conservatoire, where she did not distinguish herself ut all, attending the classes without enthusiasm and taking a prize only to please old Mamma Valerius, with whoin -she continued to live The first time that Raoul saw Christine at the Opera, he was charme,, by the girl’s beauty and by the sweer imaces of the past which it evoked, but was rather sur- prised at the negative side of her art. He returned was reached at ‘last. ‘Raoul walked into, the gmoky sitting room-of ‘the Setting»Sun end at once saw When*Tt- am al roe ‘Christine standing before him, smiling and showing no astonishnient. * ‘“So you -have come,” she said. “I felt that I shouid find you here, wher’ I egege back ‘eacee mass.

In a trembling voice, she said; “Me?

And 1 heard every thine. “You heard w what?” And the young girl, becoming Raoul’s arm. ‘ “He said to you, ‘Christine, you must love me!’ ” At these words, a deathly pallor spread over Christine's face, dark rings formed round her eyes, she staggered and seemed on the point of swooning. Raoul darted forward, with arms outstretched, but Christine had overcome her passing faintness-and said, in a low voice: : “Go on! Go on! Tell me all you heard!” At an utter loss to understand, Raoul answered: “I heard him reply, when you said you had given him your soul, ‘Your soul is a beautiful) thing, child and I thank you. No emperor ever received so fair a gift. The angels wept tonight.’” Christine carricd her hand to ber heart, a prey to in- describable emotion. Her eyes stared before her like a madwoman’s. Faoul was terron-stricken. But suddenly Christine's eyes moistened and two great ~tears trickled, like two pearls, down her ivory cheeks. “Listen, Raoul. 1 have decided to tell you something serious, very serious. . . Do you remember the legend of the Angel of Music?” “I do indeed,” he said. “I belleve it was here that your father first told it to us.’ “And it was here that he said, “When I am in heaven, my child, I will send him to you.’ Well. Raoul, my father is in heaven, and I have been visited by the Angel of Music.” “I have no doubt of it,” replied the young man gravely, for it seemed to him that his friend, in obedience to a pious thought, was connecting the memory of her father with the brilliancy of her last triumph. Christine appeared astonished at the Vicomte de Chag- ny’s coolness: “How do you understand it?’ she asked. bringing her pale face so close to his that he might have thought that Christine was going to give him a kiss; but -she only. wanted to read his eyes“in spite of the dark. “Tt understand.” he said, ‘that no human being can sing as you san¢e the other evening without the inter- of some miracle. No professor on earth can teach you such accents as t' ose. You have heard the Angel of fiusic. Christine.” “Yes,” she said solemnly, “in my dressing room, is where he com es to give me« my lessons dzity.” “In your dressing room?” he echoed stupidly, “Yes, that is where I have heard him; and I have not been the only one to hear him.” “Who else heard him, Christine?” “You, my friend.” “I?

But I then thought that |! was ‘the only ore to hear his voice. Imagine my astonish ment when you told me, this morning, that you could hear him too.” Raoul burst out laughing. The first rays of the moon came and shrouded the two young people in their light Christine turned on Raoul w'th a hostile air. Her eyes, usually so gentle, flashed fire r “What are you laughing at? a man’s voice, I suppose?” “Well! ...” replied the young man, whose ideas began to grow confused in the face of’ Christine's determined attitude. z “It’s you, Raoul, who shy @hat?

Leave me!” And she disappeared, Raoul returned to the inn feeling very weary, very low-spirited and very sad. He was told that Christine: had gone to her bedroom saying that she would not se down for dinner. Raoul dined alone, dn a very gloomy mood: Then he went to his room and tried to réad, went to bed and tried to sleep. There was rio sound in the next room. The -hours passed slowly. It was about - halt-past * éleven when he distinctly heard some one moving, with a Nght, stealthy step, in the room next to his. Then Christine had not gone to béd! Without troubling .for a reason, Raoul dressed, taking care not to make a sound, - and waited: Waited for what? How could he tell?

Suddenly he heard~ two voices in rapid conversation. He caught one sentence: “Don't tose the key.” . ; It was the lan@iady’s volee, The door facing the ‘séa was opened and lockéd again. Then all was still ; -Raoul ran back te his room and threw back the window.: Christine’s white form stood. on the deserted quay, : The finat floor of the Setting Sun was at no great height and a. “tree: growing against. the wall Neld put its branches to Raoul’s impatient. arms and enabled bim to Climb down umknown to. the landlady.

He 809n opened hi¢zevyes and was not long in recovering when he saw his friend’s charming face léaning. over him. A few weeks later, when the tragedy at the Opera compelled the intervention of the public prosecutor, M. Mifroid, the commissary of police, examined the Vicomte de Chagny touching the evonts of the night at Perres. I quote the questions and answers as given in the official report pp. 150 et seq,; Q. “Did Mile. Daae not see you come down from ‘your room by the curious road which you selected?” ~ |; R. “No, monsieur, no, although, when walking behind her, I took no pains to deaden the sound of my foot- steps. In fact, I was anxious that she should turn round and see me. I realized that I had no excuse for following her and that this way of spying on her was unworthy of me. But she seemed not te hear me and acted exactly as though I were not there. She quietly left the quay and then suddenly walked quickly up the road. The church- clock had struck a quarter to twelve and I thought that this must have made her hurry, for she began almost tf run and continued hastening until she came to-the church.” Q. “Was the gate open?” R. “Yes, monsieur, and this surprised me, but did not seem to surprise Mile. Daae.” ‘ Q. “Was there no one in the churchyard?” R. “I did. not see any one; @nd, if there had been, I must have seen him. The moon was shining on the snow and made the night quite light.’ Q. “Was it possible for any one to hide behind the tombstones?” R. “No, monsieur. They were quite small, stones, partly -Hfdden under the snow, with their crosses just above the level of the ground, The only shadows were those of the crosses and ourselves. The church stood out quite brightly. 1 never Saw so clear a night. It was very fine and very cold and one could see every- thing.”’ Q. “Are you at all superstitious?” R. “No, monsieur, I am a practicing Catholic. Q. “In what condition of mind were you?’ R. “Very healthy and peacefui, I assure you. Mlle. Daae’s curious action in going out at that hour had worried me at first; but, as soon as I saw her go to the churchyard, I thought that she meant to fulfill some pious duty on her father’s grave and I considered this so natural that I recovered all my calmness. I was only surprised that She had not heard me walking behind her, for my footsteps were quite audible on the hard snow. But she must have been. taken up with her intentions and I resolved not to disturb her. She knelt down by her father’s grave, made the sign of the cross and began to pray. At that moment, it struck midnight. At the lait stroke. I saw Mile. Daae lift her eyes to the sky and stretch out her arms as though in ecstacy. I Was won- dering what the reason could be, when I myself raised my head and everything within me seemed drawn to- ward the invisible, which was playing the most perfect muste. Christine and I knew the music; we head heard it as children. But it had never been executed with such divine art, even by M. Daae. I remembered all that Christine had told me of the Angel of. Music. The: gir. was “The Resurrection of Lazarus,” which old M. Daae used to play to us in his hours of Melancholy and of faith. If Christine’s Angel head existed, he could nor have played better, that night, on the late musicians violin. When the music stopped, I seemed to hear a noise from the skulls in the heap of bones; it was as though they were chuckling and I could not help shuddering.” Q. “Did it not occur to you that the musician migi.t be hiding behind that very heap of bones?’ R. “It was.the one thought that did occur to me, Mon- sieur, so much so that I omitted to follow Mlle. Daaa, when she stood up and walked slewly to the gate. She was so much absorbed just then that I am not surprised that she did not see me.” Q. “Then what happened that you were found in the morning lying half dead on the steps of the high altar’”’ R. “First a skull rolled to my feet then an- other . then another It was as if f- were the mark of that ghastly game of bowls. And had an idea that false step must have destroyed the bal- ance of .the structure _behind which our musician was concealed. This surmise seemed to be confirmed when I saw a Shadow suddenly glide along the sacristy wall f ran up. The shadow -had wlready pushed open the door and entered the church, But lt was quicker than ‘ths shadow and caught hold of ‘a cofner of its cloak. At that moment: we were justin front of the high altar: and the moonbcams* fell straight upon us through ‘the stained-glass windows of the apse. As I did not def go of the eloak, the shadow turned round: and I saw a ter- rible death's heady which darted 4 look at mé from a pair of scorching eyes. I felt as if I were face to face with Satan; and, in the presence of this unearthly ap- parition, my heart gave way. courage failed me ~-.» and I remember sainiigdlovics until I recovered corisciousness at the Setting Sun.” : J i a ie .
