Circuit Attorney Harris to Blame forthe Result, - — How His Zeal Outran His Discretion—He Wanted the “Glory’—The Defective In- dictment, and Who Wrote lt~—What the Jury Did Not Learn—Harris to Reside in Texas—A Startling Fiasco. The “big” conspifacy cases which for a time had flashed across the political horizon like a me- teor in a winter sky, died out yesterday in just as sudden a manner in Judge Noonan‘’s court. The twelve patient jurors, who for nearly two weeks had left business avocations to listen to and weigh the facts in the case, went home without having one word to say to the result. The attorneys for the State flocked together and went away without much signs of rejoicing. Messrs. Butler, McEntire, Lutz and Caruth, and their counsel marched out in triumph, while some few of the spectators ineffectually attempted to raise acheer. The public will naturally demand to Know what was THE CAUSE OF THE FIASCO. It is a well-known fact that Mr. Lodge and his associate counsel, even from the beginning, did not expect a conviction. For this, partially, although no man connected with the case will make the statement, the blame is to be laid at the door of Circuit Attorney J9s- eph R. Harris. The only charge made against r. Harris is that he was too impetuous, He was in too big ahurry. Attorneys who figured in the case made every fair effort to prevent the return of an indictment at the time the *-Big Four” were indicted. The objections were put on the ground that the matter was not then ripe. “Let what you have turned up go over to the next Grand Jury,” said one of the clearest head- ed ofthe prosecutors. “That body will find out something else. Finally we may get hold of suf- ficient material to make a good, solid case.” But Mr. Harris would not listen to the pleading. He was urged on by a stronger motive. His reputa- tion with the community had been largely built up on his fight against the amblers. e was sick and worn out, but he came back here from San Antonioto make this last fight. He was determined not to leave the field until he had made arecord. He worked as hard as any strong man could, before the Richeson Grand Jury, and he really succeeded in turning ina mass of facts which certainly startled the community. Then he was importuned to walt, but be would not. Onthe day the Grand Jury reported, and just after they had been discharged, Mr. Harris, weak and emaciated, stood up before the bar in the Criminal Court, told Judge Van Wagoner that he was compelled to leave immediately, and asked for the appointment of his successor. Shortly alter, he was on his way to San Antonio. He had accomplished what he came for, He kad indicted the men who had been before charged with ob- structing the laws and interfering with the Police Department in dozens of ways. HE LEFT IN A BURST OF GLORY, disregarding the advice of men who were more cool-headed, if not more earnest nor more honest. When he reads the result of his labors in the Texas papers to-day, it is very certain that he will be willing to confess that he might have gone slower. If he had remained bere there is no in- dication that the result would have been different, for his place was taken by men fully as abie, if not abier, at least. as any of Harris’ most de- voted friends even claimed him to be. In this view of the case he has nobody to blame but himself for the fizzle that was the wind up of yesterday’s proceedings. Inthe first place, the indictment under which Messrs. Butler, McKntire, Lutz and Caruth were tried, is conceded to have been faulty by prominent criminal pleaders of the city. The averment Was notat all broad enough to let in what the State intended to show. It was drawn under the supervision of Mr. Harris by Mr. Smi wheg is as- ststant of “Attorney” Bliss. But no sooner did the State attempt to act under it than it was found that the CLOTH HAD BEEN CUT TOO SMALL. Alex Kipkead was put upon the stand. He would have made a statement thaf might have rone far towards establishing a combination. ie would have told the story how Warren Mce- Chesney had told him that at the next meeting of the board a Chief of Detectives would be chosen, and that he (Kinkead) must look out for the man who was designated as Pig a al “That will be the man, Kinkead,” said McChes- ney, “and when you heara man nominated who is called ‘Captain,’ vote for him, if it happens to be even Jack Looney.” The witness would have gone on to state that at the next meeting of the Board, “Captain’’ A. J. Stiles was put in nomina- tion as Chief of Detectives, and that he, Kinkead then told the Board that the matter had bee prearranged, and he made the objec- tion which prevented Stiles from eng Bers place. He would have further told how McChesney told him after the meeting that Stiles was the wan whom be meant,.and how, on his refusal to stand by “the Captain,” his blank resignation went upto Jefferson City. This story Kinkead would have sworn to in detail, with many other acts. It would have been a good thing to start with. But when Mr. Kinkead had stated that he had told the Board that he -:knew the Stiles matter was prearranged, aud when Mr, Lodgeasked him how he knew this, he was NEVER ALLOWED TO TELL. Objection was made that if the man who had told him was not one of the persons named in the in- dictment his staiement was not admissable, at least not at that stage of the case. The prosecu- tion had limited the conspiracy to tour men, aud coula not eo outside them—McChesney, of course. was not mentioned. Judge Noonan ruled the testimony out “lor the pres- env’ and that was the last ever heard of it. it was contended that if the indictment had al- leged that Butler, McEntire, Lutz and Caruth had conspired ana combined among themselves and ‘with other parties to the jury unknown,” that this testimony would have — in, and that some of the attorneys for the Gcefense were willing to concede. Butit did not, and hence the trouble. Important conversations and actions of McChes- nev. Kerwin and others went by the board, under these rulings on this same point, and the jurors were never allowed to hear them. In fact, in many particulars - THE INDICTMENT WAS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY. Mr. Glover on more than one occasion stated that “the indictment stands in tbe hollow of defend- ants’ hands,’ meaning that if they bad not wished to go to trial under it they could have had the case thrown out of court on technical objections to the ‘document mentioned. Judge Krum remarked once that dia not Knew who drew the indictment, but that if it was the work of Mr. Richeson, the Grand Jury’s foreman, then he wus freeto say that Richeson’s.Kknowledge of the intricacies of a four flush stood upon a much more solid basis than Luis reputation as an expert in criminal pleading. In fact, it was conceded on all sides that the indictment,would scarcely hold together. When in addition to this it is remembered that Judge Noonan, in his rulings, was inclined to pear tothe side of mercy, it will be seen that yesterday’s result was vot a surprise to those well posted. Theonly thing fair to be said about Mr. Harris in this connection Is that he allowea his zeal to run entirely away with his discretion. He was leaving St. Louis, probably forever, and he wanted the glory of these indictments before he went. A gentleman who returned a couple of days ago from San Antonio, met Mr. Harris there. He was looking strong and healthy, Was riding out every day, and otherwise enjoying himself on his brotber’s ranch. He stated that be did not ex- yect to make his home in St. Louis again, but hat his next trip bere would probably be with the purpose of resigning his office, and of making arrangements to settio permanently in Texas, on acconut of his nealth. AN INDIANA TRAGEDY. he Farmer Hawkins Kills Farmer Johnson and Thev Takes His Own Life. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. ANDERSON, InD., December 1.—Johnson’s Switch, six miles west of here, has been the scene ofa horrible crime, a brief account of which was telegraphed the Post-DIsPATCH yesterday. Col. Hawkins, aged 51 years, ana John J. Jobn- son, aged 62 years, were both wealthy farmers, oc- cupying farms. A feud existed between them for several years concerning a ditch, in which Hawk- inis claimed he was being worstea. Several times he made the assertion that unless Johnson ed the matterthere would be two men less in Madison County.

John Rattigan’s Joke Jails Him—A Labor Agency Charged With Doing an Ifregular Business—Not 4 Murder. People who delight in “guying” their friends’ through telephones aad playing practical jokes over the wires will have to desist until a case in pointis decided. To-day a warrant charging John Rattigan with transmitting a false message Was returned to the Court of Criminal Correetion and docketed for trial in that tribunal on the 12th inst. The case is a novel one; probably the first of its kind ever instituted under the iaw as found onthe books in various States. The specifie charge in the warrant is as follows: “That John Rattigan, on December 3, did ute lawfully and kKnowinely transmit per Seta then and there operating in the city aforesaid and in the State of Missouri, a certain faise eommunl- cation, t0-wit: that three carriages were to be at once sent to the Germania Club, situated in the city aforesaid, and also one carriage to be sent to Ninth and Hickory streets in the city aforesaid, with intent then and there to injure the owners of Said Carriages, contrary, etc.” The warrant is signed by James Halpin, principal prosecuting ° witness. The law under which the case has been instituted is Known to very few lawyers evens Its provisions are as follows: “Sec. 886. If any officer, anager, agent or op erator of any telephone or telegraph line op- erating in this State, or any other person, shall Knowingly have sent by such telephone or tek egraph line any false communication or intelli- joey with intent to- injure any one or to specu ate in any article of merchandise, commerce or trade, or with intent that another may do so, or shall knowingly send or deliver any dispateh that is forged or uot authorized by the person whose bame purports to be sigued thereto, shall, on con- viction thereof in the court having criminal juris- diction in the proper county, ve liable to the same penulty as provided in section 883.” Pes Punishinent referred to oO not more than 100. with a liability tocivil suit for ae... sustained, The following presentation of the case was made to the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. For their oWn protection the hack drivers formed an asso Clation with several benevulent features in addi- tion to business benefits. Kattigan was a member, but for some Violation of the rules he was ex- poses. Since that occurrence the members who ave hacks on the stand have been seriously an- noyed by bogus orders which took them tothe four corners of the city on fools’ errands. Among the false messages received was the ove quoted in the wWarrapt and which they claim they can trace to Kattigan. On this representation the warrant issued. Speaking of the newiy-discovered law, the As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney to-day said: “I must admit itis a new one on me; though I am thumb- ing over the statute books every day,I have never seen this law, probably because it is put away in such a place. itis iu volume one under the b of ‘Corporations.’ ” “ this statute cover all the messages sent by telephone?”’ “So it would appear. I don’t know of any case where the statute has been passed upon, but it looks as if it would cover everything, even a joke,” tigan gave bond. Herman Dohman and Frank Maeeus,two hearty young Gerinan emigrants, appeared before the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of the Court. of Criminal Correction and obtained a warrant for fraud aguinst the gentlemen composing the laber agency firm of Gibson & Co., at No. 213 Market street. Neither of the men couid speak but they made the following statement ex- pressed their w ss to swear to ft on the wit- ness stand if they Were successful in getting out Warrant agaiust their men. ‘They came to country only a few weeKs ago in ar three others. Shortly after their arrival in this city they started out to huatfor work and dropped in at the above office. A man there, according to their story, agreed to send them south on the Lron Mountain road, where they could obtain work on the payment of $6 each for railroad fare. They each gave up the money, andthe man put some slips of paperin an envelope, which two other men grabbed and ran away with. The keeper ex- plained that the tugitives had stolen the railroad tickets, and unless the laborers captured him they would be out the price of the tickets. The men complained Capt. Fruchte, who referred them to the Assisf@nt Prosecuting Attorney. Mr, Gibson made a statement to the police show that hé was in no wise responsibie for the loss the tickets, but 1t was decided to let the dis putants settle the matter in court. Tue morning papers yesierday contained an account ofa probable murder, in which Henry Schmidt, a tailor, received a fatal blow with a beer glass inthe hands of Conrad Beizighofer, during an altercation which resulted trom discussion of the wisdom of the “propositions of the. President’s message.””’ This morning the man that should be aead appeared in the First District Police Court with no more serious injury than a Dlack eye. The “murderer” was on hand to answer toa charge of disturbing the peace, but his friend Sclimidt would not prosecute him, The officer, however, prosecuied the charge Beizighofet was find $10, which ae cheerfully aid. Both men were prepared to ',wear that they had never heard of the President’:. message. The Utak Bar Don't Want Howard, SALT LAKE, UTAH, December 7.—The Salg Lake bar had a meeting this morning and passed the following resolution: “That we earnestly protest against the appointment of Sumner How- ard as Chiet Justice vi Utah.” The reasons Deing stated for the protest to the President are, that they can’t pelieve a candidate tor the high position, whose reputation is so bad as Howard’s while United Siates Attorney of Utah, could receive the executive favor. ‘The secretary was instructed to weleerar the same Ww the President and Attorney General.

ROTTING AWAY. ee * Most Inhuman Treatment Ac- ; corded Prisoners in Russia, $ _ The Use of Soap and Comb Forbidden— Bitten by Rats and Literally Devoured by Lice—Driven Mad and to Suicide— Great Excitement in Paris—Other For- eign News. Lonpon, December 7.—A Paris correspondent forwards a second letter, written in blood by a Nihilist in the Troubletskoi Fort, at St. Peters- burg. It describes tLe harrowing treatment of prisoners, and says their food is often mouidy and sometimes putrid. Dysentery and scurvy are . prevalent, and doctors are afraid to touch the pa- tients. Few medicines are prescribed, and when ordered are generally countermanded. THE PRISONERS ROT AWAY and exhale odors of dead bodies before life is ex- tinct. The number of those who go mad in con- sequence of their suffering is daily increasing. Mad men are strapped down and whipped with a knout by the keepers. Their fierce yells re- sound throughout the night. Many prisoners have committed suicide. ({t is said that one wom- an was OUTRAGED AND THEN POISONED, but no iuquiries into the affair were instituted. Rats are the worsi enemies of the prisoners. One woman with a babe was obliged to be constantly on the watch and fight night and day to prevent the rats from devouring her child. The use of @ »mbs and soap is forbidden, and tne prisoners, especially women, whose hair is allowed to grow, are literally é DEVOURED BY LICE. The jallors are only kind to those baving money. The prisoners who refuse to reply to questions are tortured, and cases of the violation of women are frequent. The writer especially appeals to the civilized world in behalf of the women in the prison, whose situation, he says, is far worse than that of the men. * SHOT FOR STRIKING A GENERAL.

The Body of a Man Buried ita 1865—Soll in the Cemetery. ; By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., December 7.—While the grave-liggers in St. Mary's Church, on Fourth and Locust streets, were exhuming the remains of Thomas B. McCormack last evening. they discovered that the coffin was so heavy that they could not move it. The church records were examined, and it was ascertained that Mr. Mc- Cormack was burted on March 13, 1865, at the age of 51 years, and was buried just in the rear of the church, ata depth of eleven feet. In April of tbe following year his wife was buried in the same grave at a depth of eight feet, and last February their daughter} Lizzie, was_ buried two feet above her mother, Thomas B. MeCormack, jr., the only remaining member of thé family, be- ing very ill and expressing A DEAIRE TO BE BURIED in the same cemetery, it was decided to exhume the bodies and deepen the grave. The coffin con- taining the body of Mr. McCormack was found to be in a perfect state ot preservation, but when the superintendent and his assistant undertook to remove it from the grave they were asiontshed to find that they could not lift it. The assistance of two other workmen was obtained, but still the great weight resisted their efforts. Eight men were summoned, but they were powerless to remove the coffin, untilalarge plank had been properly placed in position, when the remains were drawn out head- first. Upon opening the coffin the workmen were astonished to find A PETRIFIED BODY. The features were preserved and lifelike, and, ex- cepting a stight disfigurement of the nose, not the slightest marriNg was distinguishable. Any per- son who saw Mr. McCormack after his death could easiiv recognize him. The nose is the at portion of the body not petrified. t is rather soft and pliable. The face is as hard,as marble and per- feces The hands are perfectly preserved and nat- ural, The chest and other portions ef the body are stone. The shroud is intact, and ha« not changed in appearance, and evenghe neat black tie remains in position. The body has not been mummified.

A Rumor That Capitalists Intend Putting Up Business Blocks on Twelfth Street —The Retail Trade Center to be Moved ~-What Fourth Street Merchants Think of It. For the past two or three years there has been a feeling among many of the merchants on Fourth street that the days of that thoroughfare as a retail street were numbered. This feeling found birth in the removal of a leading dry goods busi- ness tosixth and Olive streets, and grew and waxe@l strong with the success of that business house and the springing. up of other stores in its vicinity; the establishment of large jobbing and wholesale houses on Washington avenue; the development of Olive street from Sixth to Twelfth; the sorapeeiien of the Custom House, construction of the Exposition Building and the general tend- aor of trade to drift westward. The shifting of trade centers is one of the most puzziing problems that business men in all cities have to «ncounter. It is impossibie in a growing city to confine trade to one locality forever, and consequently the busi- ness cat watches the oving mouse witb an eye that never sleeps, In former days Main and Market streets were the at retail points. The enterprising dry goods firm that moved its store as far north as the corner of Fourth and Wasbh- ington avenue perished quickly. Sut after awhile Fourth street was made the HKADQUARTERS OF RETAIL “BUSINESS, and has kept its hold as such ever since. Fifth street has grown recently, Olive street bas grown, Sixth and Seventh streets came in for a share of the prosperity. aud the retail houses have ebbed out towards Twelfth street steadily and firmiy. This tide has been watched by the retail business men of Fourth street very closely, and it is only natural that they should feel some alarm for the welfare of their street. This alarm has resulted in an exchange of views, confidentiaily, upon the subject, and on the quiet, the matter of an hegira furtuer west has been fully discussed. That there would be a general stampede boy the lesser lights if some of the leading houses were to remove to, say, Twelfth street, a PostT-DISPATCH reporter who canvassed Fourth street On this subject this morning is firmly conyineed, A report that a cer- tain capitalist intended fitting up business houses fur sume of the most prominent retail merchanis on a street seven or eight blocks further west than Fourth street, they to pay an agreed rate of interest on the money expended, Was the basis of the reporter’s peregrinations. MK. RICHARD SCRUGGS, of the firm of Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney, knew nothing about sucha report; had heard nothing, did.not believe there Was anything in it, and did not want to be quoted. MR. HARDY, of the St. Bernard Dollar Store, was not to be found, put Mr. Crepsey, who claims to be familiar with the inper workings oi the Company, said that the Dollar Stere people were anxious to move to Twelfth street, if they could only be assured that others would follow. Twelfth street, he thought, is to be the great thoroughfare. From Wasling- ton avenue lo the Union depotinten years there would be a magnificent line of buildings. If he had the say so, the store would be transplanted as soon as possible to Twelfth street, between Olive and Locust. Fourth street, after 6 in the evenivug, was dead. MR. WALSH of Merrick. Walsh & Pheips, bad not heard of the report, but hoped it was true, The houses on Fourth street were too small ana the business eoufined to too narrow limits, He hoped the day was near at hand when there would be a removal to Twelfth street. MR. BURRELL, of Burrell, Comstock & Co., had not heard of the report. There was no disputing the fact that ‘Twelfth street was the future business street. It wou'd be folly for one house or two houses to wove there alone. If a concerted action was agreed upon the e wou'd be a rush to that point. What held th. fh ases Dack DoW Was a fear that should they meuve out some one in the same busi- n-<s would ke their old stand and their trade. He .opedth fF port wastrue and would like to get a bid ou vue of the stores, MR, PARKER, of the Searritt Furuuuce Cvmpany, said an offer had beeu made their house by a capitalist to erect a building on Wastington .avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh sivreets. He believed that Washington aveune and Olive street would be built up solidly before long and the cross streets filled up, but still that would not interfere greatly with Fourti street. MR. STEPHENSON, of Miller & Stephenson, denied any knowledge of the movement of capitalists in the direction indi- cated. but knew that the tendency of trade was westward, and expected that ere long his house would move. MR. MARSHALL, Beck & Marshall, said he would meet those capitalists. Their quarters were cramped and their business interests demanded a move westward. Twelfth street was not so far from Fourth now as Fourth was from Main iwenty- five years ago. MR. CUNNINGHAM, of Cunningham & Scbmitt, said be bad heard that Lucas place would be turned into a business street. He thought that eventually all retail business would bave to go furiher west, MR. ARCHAMBEAULT, of Archambeault & Cavanaugh, wouid be delighted } to have better quarters on a street furéher west, and hoped that there was truth in the report that a hegira was contemplated, MK. SWOPE said he had heard u good deal of talk on the sub- ject of making Twelfth street the principal retail business street, but knew nothing defiuite. MK. M. J. STEINBERG said: “The jobviug ana wholesale houses are on Washington avenue. Why should the retail business be on Fourth street? Ketail houses shouid always be ahead of wholesale houses, and why? Because the employes of wholesale houses do not Want to go out of their Way to buy things When ail the wholesale business Was done east of Fourth street, then Fourth street was the big street. Now, when employes tn chuse houses on Washington avenue want anything they do not like to come down torit, and would rather cross over to Olive if they could be supplied there. There will never be any better buiidings on Fourth street. The stores now are all dark and small. I hayeto keep lights burning all the time. The merchauts of 4 street need large, new buildings on a street further west, and Twelfth street is that street. It is only a question now as to which will be the first to gothere, Everybody is willing to follow some leader in that direction.” The velief is general amoag business men that Washington avenue and Olive street will be filied with retail stores soon, and that Twelfth street will be improved, lighted up well from Washing- ton avenue to the depot, aud thus become to the city what Fourteenth street is to New York. Whether the Twelfth street property-owners in- tend to put up new buildings is not certain, but it would appear tobe a good idea for Capitalisis tu supply the needs of business men, as indicated in the above interviews. of Coon, like wWw ARABIAN camel’s hair shirts and drawers, ele- gant soft-finish undergarments that gentlemen. will appreciate, only $450 per suit at Famous still another grade, almostas good, for $3 per suit.

Railroad Company and the Choctaw and Chick- asaw Nations have been opponents for a number of years, has just been finally deciaed by Secreta- ry Teiler in favor of the M., K. & T. At the com- pletion of this railroad through the Indian Terri- tory to Denison in 1873,jthe governments of the two tribes above mentioned filed claims before the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at for damages of of ti . stone The damages claimea aggregated in amount avout $600,000. The railr had optained the right of way by acto. Congress under treuty, and in the construction of the road had paid in- dividua! Occupant of lands for materials used. The Indian Governments claimed, bowever, that individuals bad po right to sell the material, but the Government should pe paid for it, In the matter of the right-of-way the railroad company gaiued its point early in ie fight, but the other claims remained in thigatioh. The resident agent examined into them and mae up an Opi b- ion, placing the damages at $1,000. The commis- siouer raised this valuation te $87,000, The sec- retary of the Interior changed it to $16,000, and it Was again changed by the comuissiener to $32,- 000.

Very full testimony was laken and the Commissiofer decided that the Indians were Dot ehiiiled tu any damages. Secretary Teller bas had the case under considerutivn in this shape tor 4 year pust, and a few days ago affirmed the last decision ol Lhe Commissioner, thus finally seitling the Whole maiter in favor of the railroads. it is an important decisivon as determining vexed ques- tious as to rights of Indians. —— Well Invested. $5 spent at Famous will purchase for a boy 13 to 17 years of age an all-wool cheviot overcoat or a respectable well-made suit of clothes—Warm enough, strong enough and worth the money.

There has been aconsiderable amount of dis- satisfaction expressed of late on ’Change respect- ing the transactions of Mr. John E. Love and bis partner, Ed. Kimbrough. It appears that these gentlemen have been carrying on a “bucket shop” business righton the floor of the Exchange and beneath the eyes of the Board of Directors. They make small deals of $5 and $10 among the members on Chicago quotations, and it is pllened that the number of their customers runs up into the hundreds. Mr. Love was at one time en- gaged in tie ‘bucket shop” business in one of the establishments on the lower floor of the Chamber of Commerce. He afterwards opened one on Third street, between Olive and Locust, but the business pot proving lucrative wWas com- pelled to close up. He has now discoy- ered that there is nothing to prevent bim from transacting the same business on the floor of the Exchange, and from the patronage he has it is fair to infer that he is reaping a har- vest. President Ewald was seen bya Post-Dts- PATCH reporter to-day and questioned abdéut Mr. Love’s business. He said that he was aware that such transactions were made daily. So were the other directors, but there had been no formal complaint made to them, The practice shouid be discouraged, but he knew of norule prohibiting it. The directors would robably take some action in the matter. A num- er of members were. seen, and all of them thought it should be stopped, but aid not see how the directors could act in the premises. Said one of the gentleman: “The practice would not be toler- ated in any other board of tradeinthe country; but our directors are powerless.” ; MR. LOVE said he did not care ii members were dissatisfied. His transactions were oe yee and nearly every mau in the “pit” had deals with him. “This isa picayune business anyhow,” he con- tinued, “and wedo not depend upow it. Look here at the orders we havereceived from outside parties,” and he produced alarge bundle of iele- grams. There is an impression that arule exists forbidding members to make deals for less than 5,000 busigis, but such is not the case. Mr. Love is estabiishing a dangerous precedent whieh may convert the Exchange ito a large ‘‘bucket-shop ,” ana the question now is what are the members going to do about it? CITY PERSONALS. Mr. L. A.

Postmaster Hays has written to Alexander Cameron suggestiug the closing up of openings in the walls on each side of the passage leading to the sub-baseinent in the new Custom House. The openings extend from the floor to the ceiling, one on the south side and two on the north. There is also a rumor that the corrugated iron partition Stretching across the floor of the basement is to be removed, as it does not admit of sufficient room fur the appraisers. St. Patrick's Birth-Piace. 2408 MCNAIR AVENUE, December 6, 1883. To the Editor or the Post-Dispatch: Underthe head of “Answers to Correspona- ents,” in this day’s issue, [ find it stated, in an- swer to St. Clair, that ‘St. Patrick was a French- man.” For years past I have read everything I could lay my hands onin the shape of records, etc., respecting the age of St. Patrick. St. Pat- rick was notan Irishman, nor an Italian. His baptismal name, Succath, seems to be of Teutonic or Celtic origin. He mentidns the place of his birth by its Latin appellation, Bonaven Tabernia, - Archbishop Ussher supposes that tits spot is Kirkpatrick, in Scotland, between Dumbarton and Giasgow, on the ‘banks of the Clyde. It is in. deed generaliy allowed that St. Patrick was born either in Scotland or in France. For . reasons which need pot be enumefated, it seems to be more probabie that he was « nytive of Scotland. One may be specified; In St, Patrick's -age the slave trade was carried on in these countries. He relates that when he was only 16 years old, he himselt was —— by pirates and soid into a foreign land. The country to which he was car. ried was the North of Ireland. Ana he mentions that many thousands of his countrymen were seized and taker with him. If we consider these circumstances, and recoliect how gmali: and in- commodious the vessels of that age were, we cau- not suppose if very probable that, if these many thousand slaves had been captured in France the tes should have chosen to carry their cum- rous freight by so long and circuitous a voyage as tothe North of Ireland. Buttu no place were they more likely to have carried them than to the ‘North of Ireland if they bad captured them in Scotiand. If this bea correct conclusion e would be a pleasing interest in the reflection that Scotiand, which afterwards received so much of, Christian illumination from Lreland, and even de- rived its name, Scotland, {from that Island (for Ireiana was the primitive Scotia, and was com- monly called by that name Uli the Tenth century), should have given st. Patrick, the apostie of Lre- land, to that country. E. T. COLMAN. The Prot€@ction Idea. ST.

That question, and it seems to me the proper way of putting it, does not so readily an- swer itself; but one which it suggests is, What proportion of this royalty so ‘paid is returned to us in any form by the Government? “Protection” puts the price of raw iron at $21 perton. I have to-day had occasion to replace a part of my stove, which piece of casting costs me 9 cents per pound, an advance over the cost of raw material of sonie- thing over 8560 percent. I have bought in the or- dinary market atreguiar prices at, it seems to me, an enormous increase iu cost to cover labor and a fair remuneration op capital invested. This piece was the production of one of our home mavufacturers, yet had I bougnt a piece ot for- eign production with the expectation of getting it (on the basis of “Protection’s” proposition) for 6 cents per pound I should have been sadly disap- pointed, Yettbisis what “Protection” claims; or, if it 1s not, does he perhaps claim that but for foreign labor the same would have cost 1 cents per pound? Since he pays for foreign la- bor but $1 where home labor costs $1 50, one or the other of these. prices must result. On the basis of ‘“Protection’s” proposition | liave paid for labor—whether home or foreign, is immaierial—6 cents per pound for my casting; and, in addition, have paid, if of home production, the manulact- urer 3 cents per pound more than a reasonable interest on his invested capital; or, if of 1roreign roduction, I have paid the Government for pro- ection (from what?) this additional 3 cents per pound: and must admit I have little hope of ever again seeing one mill of my 3 cents go paid in any form.

Receipts of wheat in Liverpool for the past week were 134,400 bu, of which 47,400 bu were Amert- can.——It is now believed tnat the falling off ta cotton receipts atall ports for December, com- pared with those of last year, will only be 60,000 bales, instead of 150,000 to 170,000 bales as esti- mated a short time ago.—-The directors of the Chicago Board of Traae have decided to send a committee East tosee apout arrangements for making up & weekly statement of the visible sup- ply grain.——Some Chicago No. 2spring wheat sold in New York Wednesday for export at $1 06. Tnis would make it 85c in Chicago, after paying storage and other costs._——"‘I want to say,” remarked an operator, “that the invisible supply of corn 1s in- creasing at the rate of 1,500,000 bushels a day. With hay $5 a ton in the country and grass noth- ing, the country has all the cheap feed it wants: and as the winter consumption of cornis from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 bushels per month, why + | the country must now be saving p.eas0o-~any way 1,000,000 bushels—each day.” rgeant Weber predicts a change to clearing and colder weather to-day, and that the tgmperatureh ere will be down to freezing point, or even lower be- fore night.——The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company, since it extended its lines west, has been giving the Exchange members excellent ser- vice. Suid an operator in grain, “1 sent a tele- gram to Atchison by the B. & O., and from the time the message left my office to the time the answer Was received was exactly five minutes.” ——The millers of Minneapolis and that region are said to have already bought 8,000,000 busbels wheat, which is as much as they care apout Car- rying, and the rest of the wheat that moves there this Winter must o to other points to find a market.—The Cincinnati Price Ourrent goes for the last Chicago statement of provision stocks very severely. Itsays: “We called attention a month ago to the peculiar in- consistency in the reported stoeks of provisions at Chicago, and intimated that there was grouud for a suspicion of a scheme on hand to get prices of hog product up with a view of selling futures above values expected to rule later on. The evi- dence of this possible scheme have increased by an analysis of the stocks reported this week for December 1. Taking the sworn:statements of stocks of provisions on hand on October 1 asa Starting point, with a reckoning of the net sup- ply of hogs at an average weight consistent with the relation of packers’ weights to stock yard weights the pusttwo years, and calculating that the gross hog will yieid 57 r cent of meats and 14 per cent of lard, allowing for the reported movement of product, and aeéducting 12 per cent from the gross weights of meats, reckoning pork at 190 pounds to the barrel—thus caiculating, we find that for the two months the manufacture from 1,133,989 hogs, at 148 pounds per hog for meat, has beeu 167,830,000 pounds; during this time the shipments, less tha, receipts, meats and barreled pork, have been 987886,000 Ibs., leaving 68,944,000 ibs. to add to the 56,874,000 Ibs. of meats and pork on handon October 1, according tothe sworn statements, making an apparent supply of of 125,- 768,000 ibs. for December 1, but the return shows & total of only 70,580,000 Ibs., making a shurtage of 55,188,000 Ibs. in the exhibit, or the meat product of about 375.000 hogs. in lard there has been a similar dispanity,in the same direction, though less marked, the same line of calculations leading tO an apparent stock of 17,943,000 . lbs., while the reported stock for December 1 is 8,613,000 1bs., or 8,330,000 Ibs. less than consistent with the state- meut of receipts and shipments and evident pr duction for the two months.”——B. F. Ives, of E. A. Driver & Co., Chicago, writes Smali & Rasin: ‘We saw a good man, J. P. Rumsey, just back from a trip to Kansas and Nebraska. e gives a very poor report of the condition of corn north of the A., T. & 8S. F. road. Says itisall poor and cannot be cribbed. This confirms the writer’s ob- servation through lowa and I/linois, so ‘don’t for- get that all that long belt of corm country has d— poor corn, (that means damp, poor corn,) and it is not safe tosell it. Did not Know before to-day that the damage extended so far.” The wheat on ocean passage has increased 1,000,000 bu and corn 360,000 bu. Wheat in sight (sea and land) shows a gain of 1,936,791 bu and corn 97,830 bu over preceding week. Compared with corresponding week in 1882there is an ex- cess of 11,357,990 bu wheat, 3,261,296 bu corn.—— Carruthers & Allen of New York, ina late cir- cular, say: “The bullsin corn evidently want the earth, and we believe that in course of a few weeks they will think by the weight of their hoid- ings that they have goitesgit. Poor condition and large quantity are not good bull factors so early in the crop. Corn 1s not wanted for export (only three loads taken to-day) and the home demand is filled by the poorer grades at low prices. Con- tract corn will accumulate rapidly in ail the mar- kets.” ‘Lhe corn market was quieter this forenoon, and trading was smaller. Changes in value were comparatively slight, during the early hours the extreme range not over %4c, and prices usually swinging within an 4c to 44¢ circle. Weakness Was most pronounceu during this early trading, with advices of a lower Chicago then and tlie Eastern toarkets easing Off, an anticipated change to clear and cold weather bringingout something of a desire here to sell, though no particu- lar pressure was shown to do so. May opened \e off at 535,,and sold to 533, @%,recovered to 535, 44, and then declined to 534,, reaching tuls rate rigut after the early call. Inthe meantime December sold at 48144 (44¢ lower) to 485, and January opened wc better at 494,c, bubsoun running aown to 49. From these lowest rates there was a quick recoy- ery, as Chicago then turned up and very soon reachea 60 for May. The feeling was said to be strong and confident in that market. Their prin- cipal traders are said to be firm believers in the short crop and poor quality ge aud they buy freely in anything like a break, bev have been reintorged considerably by the country, or rather that section where the crop is supposed to be poorest, and large buy- ing orders have been received oncountry account. The advance in the home market did not carry values up quite as bigh as reached earlier, and the improvement was not lopg maintained, for after the noon call reports commenced to come in of clearing and cold weather, and that some of the leading bulls in Chicago were selling. that market weakening off also. These reports started selling and forced a decline here, January finally touching 48% aud May 53, and the ciose was weak and *,@5%,c lower tban yesterday. Cash No. 2 mixed dropped off ',c lo 484%. and was rather in- differently sought for at that, but other grades were firm and in order demand, pew mixed sell- mg at 444, this and 45% E. side. Vheat exhibits a good deal of nervousness just now and seems to be im a position where it wil! either advance largely or aeciine mach lower than it bas yet gone. Speculators are afraid of the siination in Europe, or rather of war between France and China and the complications wrising therefrom. Outside of this, which is about the only bull Influence that cou!d be used withany effect, the situation undoubtedly favors the bear side: Inereasing suppiies in this coun- try, no export demand to speak of and the finest reports regarding the condition of the winter wheat now in the ground. AS the war reports of resterday failed to ma- ierialize this morning, and as European cables told the old, old story of duliness ana weakness, while corn was also weaker there, the opening raies in this market were tg@%4¢c lower at $101% for January, $104 for February and 810044 tur May,and from tnese sold down to $10i5g@1 01% January, $1 055, February and SI (els May, and though soon sufter wards recov- ering to the opening rates (January to $1 ¢2) on more favorable advices, eased off again after the noon cail, while corn was at its weakest, and finally closed easy and \W~@see below yesterday, Cash No. 2 red was firm ou call, andthe millilug demand was better thau for some time past, Several niuers entering the market and purchasing. The sales gon order uccouut were snail, butafair amount sold to shorts. Outside of No. 2. Mediterranean, which was scarce and firmer, Olher grades declined, were weak and slow sale. ‘ihere was an interest revived in oats that tend- ed to increase the volume of trading somewhat.

Ir the people of St. Louis were givena chance to vote whether they would have an elevated railway or not, does any one doubt that they would be in favor of the improve- ment? -—_——ooco—sn kee Tue cause of law and order has not gained very much up to the present time by the magnificent failure of the League. We be- lieve the remedy for our political evils lies notin the Law and Order Leagues, but in the people. THE services of roy<y to humanity come thick and fast.

Ramblers through that Republican region are liable to find human bodies hanging from limbs of trees almost anywhere, with the flesh eaten off as high up as the wolves can reach. The local supply is said to have been exhausted by the last five strung up, and the vigilantes have gone on a scout towards the Black Hills to hunt dewn and exterminate the last remnant of the gang. ' O’DONNELL’S loag-neglected and deserted wife, as soon as she could obtain the money to pay her passage, sailed for England to stand by him in his trial, though the swift vengeance of British power had probably doomed him before she landed, and there is nothing left for her now but to soothe his last hours with the forgiveness and sympa- thy of a true wife. The woman who was pass- ing as his wife when he kfiled Cargy man- aged to findanother “affinity’’ with plenty of money as soon as she reached England, and yesterday ‘‘quietiy, but richly dressed,”’ as the telegrams report, she sailed with him on the Germanic for New York. ‘This is the old, old story. ___ A BIe@ row in the common council of Lim- erick yesterday over the proposition to con- fer the freedom of the city upon the Lord Mayor of Dublin, was decorated with the customary fist-shaking and the old familiar epithets of “rowdy,” “blackguard,” etc. This incident supplies the Lendon with another proof that the Irish are unfit . wer WF A ’ cant pape ne tor home rule. “If they cannot decorously conduct the affairs of a small city, is. it with- in the realm of hope,” we are asked, ‘“‘that they will ever be able to carry on with even reasonablo success the affairs of a nation?” According to this argument we are utterly unfit to govern ourselves in this country, and ought to be placed under the gentle do- minion of those superior and decorous be- ings who figure in Dickens’ pictures of “Our Vestry” and other scenes of political life in England. —_—_—_—_—_—_— THE ELEVATED ROAD. The Elevated Railroad bill comes up before the House of Delegates to-night. What Is the duty of that body in the matter? It is their duty to vote according to the wishes of their constituents and for the best interests of the city. A few individuals who have conflicting personal interests are very active in oppos- ing the measure, but their alarm, seems un- founded, and their personal interests have no stronger claim than the interests of the same number of other citizens. Let the House of Delegates act for the best good of the public. St. Louis cannot afford to stand before the world as opposed to improvement. Lies About Carlisle. Washington Special to the World. Something of a stir was made here to-day by the publication in the National Republican of the alleged extract from aspeech made by Speaker Carlisle at Cynthiana, Ky., when be ran for Con- gress against Landrum. In this speech ne is made to say: “I deny that the United Statesis a nation. It is a vViclous system that has destroyed sovereign States and oppressed nine millions of people in the South. Ifa State hasno right of secession, she certainly has the right of revolution.” Mr. Carlisie, when spoken to about it this even- ing, said that he remembered it as one of the slanders of the Congressional canvass. There was bo report of it made at Cynthiana, and what purported to have been said on that occasion was written out by oneof his paygisan opponents. He defies his worst enemies to produce any Ver- batim report of any speech or utterance made by him containing one disloyal sentence. He wasa resident of Covington during the years of the war. He was a member of the Ken- tucky Legislature at its out break,and labored suc- cessfully with the Union party in the Legislature to pre vent a secession convention being called. He voted the Democratic ticket during the war, and labored always upon the side of the Union in his State. His worst enemy, he insists, cannot sbow anactofhisto the contrary. He enlisted in a home-defense regiment, organized in Coving- ton at the time Gen. Kirby Smith made his raid in 1862, and served as a private in that regiment dur- ing the brief period of its existence. When he was sworn In as Speaker he took the iron-ciad oath, which he never could have taken. if he hed ever been disloyal, even in thought. The Fate of the Pork Bil. From the New York Sun. The volume of “Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations” for 1882 contains the following com- munication, which, as an expression of Official re- gret on a delicate subject, is worthy of réproduc- — “LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, “PARIS, June 27, 1882. } “No. 191. “Sim: lL regret to have to inform the Depart- ment that the Pork bill, of which a copy was sent with my dispatch, No. 146, of March 31, 1882, was defeated in the Senate a few days ago. I have the honor to be, ete., Levi P. Morton.” The reply is also published, introducing fifty outsiders into the very sanctuary of American diplomacy: “DEPARTMENT OF STATE, “WASHINGTON, July 28, ree. | “No. 152. “Sin: The Department learned with regret from your dispatch, No. 191, of the 27th ultimo, thatthe Pork bill had been defeated in the Sen- ate. Lam, etc., “FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEX.” The action of thee French Senate on the Pork bill was known to all the interested parties on this side of the Atiantic on the day of the vote and days before Mr. Morton’s touching dispatch was sent to the Secretary of State. But we paya Minister $17,500 a year, and furnish him witha secretary and assistant secretary and a staff of idiers with high salaries, in order that he may do this sort of business, W here the Kditors Missed It. From the New York Times. Of Southern bewspapers the New Orleans Times-Democrat, the New Orleans Picayune, the Memphis Avalanche, the Nashville American, the Chatanooga Times, the Atianta Constitution, the Mobile Register, the Birmingham Age, the Nash- ville Banner, the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu- tionalist,the Macon Telegraph,the Richmond Dis- patch and the Houston Post favored the election of Mr. Randall as Speaker. The Chattanooga Times, which compiled this list, says that these papers have considerably more than half the daily circulation of the South. , Take it Easy. A writer in the London Lancet ridicules the habit of being in great haste and terribly pressed for time which is common among ai! classes of commercial men, and argues that, in most cases, there is not the least cause for it, and that it is done to convey a notion of the tremendous volume of business which almost overwhelms the house. The writer Zurther says that, when developed in- toacontirmed habit, it is fertile in provoking nervous maladies. What St. Louis Will Come to. Fronrthe New York World. Some smart Yankees recently wentto Havana and started a gas war. Intime the native mon- opoly yielded and consolidated with the invader. Then the price of gas was put up, but the move has not enriched the schemers, because the thrifty hidalgos have stopped using the gas, and the city is said to present a very gloomp appearance at night. ; Where Prohibition Is Needed. From the New York Times, Last yearno fewer thau 22,125 persons were kliled by snakes and wild animais in India. S polling the Philistines. Mr. Arnold made $2,000 by his three lectures in Boston. ‘POLITICAL DRIFT. Mr. BLAINE is in danger of getting the func- tions of the State and general governinent mixed. THE Republican party proposes to cry out bold- ly for protection, repudiation and the bloody shirt. GOVERNOR NEWELL, of Washington Territory, has signed the woman suffrage act, and the law is now in force. IT ts said that Secretary W. E. Chandler aspires to the Chairmanship of the National Republican Committee. Tue Springfleld (Ill.) RegisteF attributes Springer’s defeat for the Speakership to Senator Vulliom, who, it alieges, is jealous of him. Tue Galveston (Tex.) News, which may easily be supposed to know, Says that there is no ele- ment of any consequence in Texas that woula consent to a partition of the State. OCHILTREB distinguished himself . 4 wie the first day of his Congressional service, by bolt ing the nomination of Keifer ana voting for Mr. Wadsworth, of New York, for Speaker. Ir is said that President Andrew D. White, of Cornell University, will be a candidate for United Btates Senator from New York to succeed Senator Lapham. His chances of success are said to be good. MAYOR CARTER HARRISON to a Chicago re- porter: “I think itis all bosh sbout Blaine not wanting the Presidency. He fell down in front of of achurch before and now he is jumping on whisky.” . ly the prediction that Carlisle will appoint Reagan of Texas as Chairman of the Committee on Commerce is carried out, Messrs. Huntington, Mills and Stanford, of California, will not be pleased. Mr. McDONALD, of Indiana, says for his friend Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, that be favors a “tariff tor revenue with incidental protection” and is for “maintaining the tax on whisky and tobacco for the present.” CHICAGO News: Dick Oglesby was in town yes- terday, but not for political reasons. He came up to sell a wagon load of turnips. Since his name has began going the rounds for the governorship he bas been attending strictly to agricultural pursuits. CHICAGO News: It is stated upon high authori- ty that as soon as John Sherman secures a res- toration of the duty on wool he will tackle qui- nine and salt. It appears to be John’s determin- ation to get even with the Republic for that one hundred dollar bill he invested in the recent Ohio campaiyn. THOSE who talk of Mr. Carlisle as a Sonthern Speaker of an ex-Confederaie House, perhaps overlook the fact thata majority of the Demo- cratic members of the present House are from the North. The Southern States proper am repre- sented by seventy-five Democrats, the border Btutes (Missouri and Keniucky) by twenty-three apd the Northern States by nipety-eight. Even classifying Missouri and Kentucky with the South the Democratic representation would then be a tie—ninety-eight to ninety-eight. —— MEN OF NOTE, JAY HUBBELL, “entirely out of politics” now. has gone to his stock farm in Nebraska. THE oldest university student in Berlin, and probably in the world is 69 years of age. Mr. JEFFERSON’s lost voice having returned, he remarked that it was only a “little bad cold.” GILBERT anda Sullivan have rejected all offers to dispose of the American right to produce their new opera. Jim Wintersmith, the'new doorkeeper of the House, is a son of the famous Kentucky wag, Col, Dick Wintersmith. THE first thing that Carlisle did after being ad- visea of his nomination for Speaker by the cau- cus was to say toafriend: “Go telegraph to my boys.” GENERAL P. E. CONNOR, of Eureka, Nev., has been drawing a pension of §20 a month for the last thirty-six years. He was wounded in the battle of Buena Vista. THE eminent basso, Karl Formes, tells Ameri- can parents that they make a grave mistake in sending their children to Italy to study music when they can attain much better results at home. THE sacred rooms in Windsor Palace formerly occupied by John Brown, esq., Vice-President of tne Lritish Empire, are kept locked. The Queen will permit no one to occupy them while she lives. “Mr. DICKEY, read me a story,” said Joseph Kenebel, clown, to an attendant in a Chicago, hospital on Saturday. Mr. Dickey read the story. **How do you like it?” he asked, turning tuward the old circus man. But poor Yorick made no answer, for he was dead. Mr. GEORGE JOACHIM GOSCHEN, the newly appointed Speaker of the House of Commons, is another example of Jewish tact, ability and per- severance. After hard work at Rugby school and Oxford University, which he left with a *double- fist’’ in classics, he went into*business and became one of the shrewdest men in the city of London. In May, 1863, he Was elected to Parliament, and his progress has been so rapid as to excite wide- spread envy and admiration. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. MARY ANDERSON is having a bust carved by England’s most famous sculptor. - A RBALD-HEADED correspondent writes that there are 5,000 ballet girls in London. Mrs. LANGTRY offers a reward of $25 for Nellie, the poodle she lost in Louisville. Freddie has not yet been stolen from her. Mrs. GEorGcGe E. WALcuTT, of West Jeffer- son, Ohio, claims to have fought during the war of the rebellion as a man. Mis8 ANNIE GILTNER, a dressmaker of Den- ver, has just learned that she is heiress to one of the largest estates in Holland. WoOMEN in Mexico are not permitted to attend funerals. The only melancholy ceremonies they are aliowed to witness are weddings. Mrs. Hcupson, the Wisconsin wife and mother who was married to a young woman and passed for that person’s husband, has returned to the bosom of her own family in female attire. Mrs. ELLEN HALEY, sister of Congressman Sumner of California,who bas a window-smashing mania, threw a brick through the front of a San Francisco newspaper office,and has been sent up. It is very funny to see Maggie Mitchell kick because a New Jersey Woman wants to be her sister. Maggie has an idea that she is under age, and that ber new relative wants to control her wages.

Louis not directly inter- ested in street-rai)road stock is under obligations to you for the efforts you are makingto secure better accommodations for the public. It is idle for the owners of street-rallroads to assert that they are not paying enormous dividends upon the “original” outlay in their construction. If they say they donot pay dividends upon the stock which has been doubled, trebled and quadrupled it may be true, and itis possible, t hat some lines are not dividena-paying, but any one kuows that the old original lines haye paid enormous profits, and the fundsin these roads represented by bonds and stocks for which nothing was paid is enormous. A cummittee of the City Council should go tothe bottom and investigate, and see and know the exact cost of each road. They should ascertain for what purpose every bond and every dollar of stock was issued, and whether the proceeds were actually put into the construc- tion or not, whether it was given out without con- sideration and has gone into other hands, and now the present stockhoiders expect the people to allow themselves to be taxed to pay dividends on these watgred stocks ana bonds. No intelli- gent legislation can be had in regard to these re- spective roads until a very full investigation as to their real cost and Garuings are had, for what would be ruinous for one road would not oppress others at all. 1 pray you continue your good work untilyou effect the reform you aim at, for which every man, womanand chiid will thank you.

From the New York Herala Rome, November 10.—Few of the many Ameri- cans who year after year make winter pilgrim- ages to Rome find time to visit the American Catholic College. It has not, perhaps, such treasures of art stored away in it as other Roman monumeats,. better known and more ambitious. -Yet it has an interest of its own, especially now that it has once more been chosen as a resi- dence by several of the American bishops who have been summoned to the Vatican. Not only has it historic interest, but beauty to recommend it. Within its homely walls stands a chapel, small but so perfectly proportioned and marvel- ously decorated that it awakens admiration even in &@ mind biased by long familiarity with the churches of Kome, Last, but not least, the col- lege deserves visiting for its o sake. There is not a better organized institution of its kind in the Eternal City, nor could Americans find any- thing there of which they have more justly reason to be proud. It stands in one of the many quaint and gloomy streets which surround the palace of the Propa- ganda. Originally the residence of an Order of Dominican nuns, it became, later on, the princi- pal house of the nuns of the Visitation. Under their management it became one of the most fasb- lonable conyeuts in Rome. The noblest families sent their daugnters to it to be educated. The Orsinis and Colunnas each lavished gold and ae works of art upon it. Here (in 1846) largaret Mary Alacoque was declared *biessed’ by Pope Pius, and the cause of the Sacred Heart, which French Catholics bold in such reverence nowadays, was first recognized. HANDED OVER TO AMERICANS. Shortly after Mgr. Bedini’s trip to America ip 1855, the building was hanged over to the Amert- can Catholics to meet thelr growing demands for erciesiastical eaucgetion. ln his younger days Pius 1X. frequeutly said ass in what is now the Ameri- cau College. The venerable Palotta once also lived in it, and at the time of the Ecumenical Council Pope Pius met the American bishop sin the modest reception room oa the first fluor of the building. Ou the walis of this historic chamber hang por- traits of Leo XIII. and several of the cardinals. Un one side is Healy’s portrait of Archbishop Kendrick. Close to it is that of Cardinal McClos- key. But the visitor's @ye will probably be most attracted by Martin Milmore’s fine bust of Pius 1X. and the brouze bust of Washington facing it. Tne latter Was obtained from the only cast of Wasbirgton’s tace taken afver death. his cast long remained in the possession of the Washing- ton family, from whom, a good many years ago, itwas inherited by a sculptor called Pettrick. A curious story attaches to this relic. After having more than once Vainly tried to buy it of Pettrick, the United Stat s sioie the cast from him rather than not. get it. So heartbroken, however, was the sculptor at bis loss that, ina fit of sentimen- tality such as seldum troubles Governments, the vrecious heirloom was restored to its rightful owner. THE HEAD OF THE COLLEGE. At present Mur. Hostiot is at the bead of the colelge,in which he has managed to become no léss respected by bis pupils than beloved. It is to Mgr. Hostiot’s courtesy your correspondent owes the foregoing information. At the time of the writer’s last visit there wefe fifty-four pupils ino the college, sent over from twenty-three different dioceses in the States. Myr. Hostiot’s puplis have greatly distinguished themselves of late at the Catholic examinations. Two of them, hailing from Florida, were singled out and specially con- gratuiated the other day by the Hoiy Father. All appear to be picked men, hard workers aud cult- ured, Of the thirty-six theological students who competed for medals this year twenty-six were successful. THE COLLEGE RULES. The rules of the house are severe, though not so cruel as at soine Catholic seminaries. The pupils rise at half past 5, meet for “meaitatiou”’ in the chapel at 6, breakfast, zo outfor a walk, and on returning attend classes at the Propagauda. Af- ter this and suime spiritual reading they are al- lowed a short rest, which they devote to an exam- ination of conscience. A simple dinner is served in the retectory at noon. After thisa haitis made for recreation. Studies are‘resumed in the after- noon, and toward sunset all adjourn lor another Waik. At&there is avery light supper, and by 9 most of the students are peacefully sieeping we sieep of the virtuous. Each pupil at the college occupies a separate bedroom, plainly, Dut neatly furnished, and fitted up With the strict necessaries of astudent. All exercises, Whether spiritual, goer or intellect- ual, are taken together; and the programme of each week includes two lectures by tie sub-sécre- lary of the Propaganda for American Affairs, chiefly dealing wiih ecclesiastical law as it affects the United States. CHARMINGLY SITUATED. The college buildings are grouped round a charming gardép filied with fragrant orange and lemon trees, ecucaiypius, roses and paims. The suit of rooms upstairs reserved for cardipais and archbishops opens on to a corridor shaded by clus- tering vines and looking on to an luner court en- closing 4 plashing fountain and a statue of the Catholic patrouess of America—Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Close by is the apart- ment of Dr. Ubaldi, the repetitere confessor and spiritual director of the house, whois in especial! favor with Pope Lev, aud, at his express request, this year delivered a brilliant series of lectures re- futing Renan’s heresies. Like those of the English, Scoten and Irish col- leges, the puplis of the American College have a costume of theirown. It consists of a three cor- nered hat, a black cassock anda red sash. The soprava—the distinguishing mark—is lined with grayish biue. Tie college is entirely mMaintainea by the donations and subscriptions. of generous Americans. Thenames of the munificent bene- factors are framed and adorn the walis of the varlor. A good many of the ‘“‘subscribers,” by the y, have proved themseives bacKsiliders by omit- ting to pay up. And, sad to say, among them are several rich New Yorkers. The Double Leaders. From the Philadelphia Record. Those political newspapers that in columns of double-leaged idiocy undertake to make their reuders believe that a business panic will follow the choice of a revenue reformer for Speaker nyust have a contemptibie opinion of the common sense of the people. Tariffreform is coming, but it is coming slowly aud judiciously, as a beneficence and n0t asa cure. Texas Turning Aside to Weep. From the Fort Worth Gazette. Reports from the Northern States are absolute- ty sickening. Murder, slaughver of whole fami- lies aud rape are only relieved by the mysterious disappearance of some young and handsome woman.

There is more siafui and 24 : ier ess eran he continued. These remarks were drawn out by areference to the very low prices which have generally prevailed this year for much of grocer’s stock. Other gentlemen equally prominent in the trade were seen, and while all bewail the low prices, and the extremely small margins at which sales have been made, yet the prevailing opinion seems to be that the total value of goods jobbed out of the city this year will foot up 10 per cent more than last year, while the volume of the trade will show a greater increase still. The profits of the year will fall behind tnose of last year to all houses that have not greatly extended their trade. Similarly there will be reduced profits in all the grocery jobbing centers of the country. In comparing the trade of St. Louis with that of Chicago one is met with the aifficulty that the Chicago Board of Trade does not collect or publish any poseet? satistics. It is admitted that one or two houses in Chicago do a larger business than any .one in St. Louis, but the business has been more centralized there. The tendency of the business to accumulate in a few hands is feit everywhere, not excepting St. Louis. It ts known as a result of the present year’s business that four or five Chicago firms will close out fn January. It is not known that more than one St. Louis firm will follow guit, though it is quite like- ly that two or four others will consolidate. There appears ih the St. Louis Directory the names of about fifty-five wholesale grocery firms, but some of these do only a small local jobbing :rade. The bulk of the business here is done by about thirty firms, which would give them an average of $1,000,000 OF BALES annually. These tigures are enormous, and mean nearly $3,500each day of the year. There are houses now selling $1,000,000 which 10 years ago did net do half that business. Probably they are making no more money now than then, and tor this reason are in the habit of speaking gloomily of the trade. Arepresentative of tue largest house in the city ventures to make the assertion that toiday St. Louis is a greaterggrocery distrib- uting point than Chicazo. Avast quantity of groceries pass through Chicago which are not sold there, and do not stop there. Such is not the case in St. Louis. The receipts and shipments here mean actual business. The extent of territory of which St. Louis con- trols the grocery is prodigious and increasing yearly. In Missouri, Kansas. Arkansas, Texas, Indian Territory and New Mexico, St. Louis is almost without a rival, save in Southern Texas, where Galveston and New Orleans = still hold into a position of what was until recently exciusively theirown. St. Louis also di- vides Mississippi, Alabama and Western Georgia, with New Orleans and Mobile. In Arizona Bt. Louis has taken away from San Francisco in two years, at least vne-fourth of the trade, and will soon increase this traction toone half. St. Lotis also does very considerable business in Iowa, Ne- braska, Colorado and Muntana, but less than Chi- cago. Govods are sold somewhatto Minnesota andeven Manitoba, but they are really beyona our field, and naturally belong. elsewiere. It is not true that Chicago merchants, to any extent, invade Sst. Louis’ grocery territory. They may run anywhere (as Our merchants dc) and seil iso- lated bills, but they cannot hold the trade. It is impossible for auy city to ever secure the southwest grocery trade from St. Louis, unless a vast: me- tropolis springs up southwest of us. The jobbing houses which artse in simall cities take off oniy the trade of their own vicinity. There are some goods of home or southefn manufacture, or growth, that St. Louls cau sell to Chicago, and vice versa, there are goods of northern produc- tion that Chicago can sell to St. Louis, Dut this is not true at all of several groceries. St. Louis is nearer the native sugar region, but imported sugar sells just as cheap in New York, indeed much of the sugar solid here comes from the East. One cause of St. Louis usihg so much imported sugar has been the fact that the Belcher Refinery here bas been inadequate to the demands of the city. Dur.ng the present year the capacity of the sume has been increased trom 1,200 barrels a day TO TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED BARRELS. It should be borne in mind wattue Sct. Louis Refinery is the only one between Philadelphia and San Francisco. New Orleans has two, and New York, Phuiadeiphia, Boston and Portland have all the rest in the country. Chicago, Cincinnati and such places have none, and handle no raw sugars at all. For a number of years St. Louis has been the greatest inland coffee mart of the world. The regular annual sales here are 25 per ceut. greater than those of Chicago, Clacinuatior New Orieaus. uf tbe vast amountof coffee sold here to the Southwest and South, which are coffee-drinking regions, the greater part is Rio coffee. The prices of coffee this year have been higher than last year, indeed last year they” were phenomenally low. Last Deceimper fair coffee sula in New York at 73g cents, and now the same rrade is bringing 1234. This increase has been rought about wpe by speculation in New York, through which port most of the Brazil cof- fee comes. THE COFFEE TRADE. The following table shows the receipts and ex- orts of coffee at St. Louis for the last seven years, in which time it will be noticed that the exports bave increased over 40 per cent: Receipts, bags. 91,543 Exports, bags. 179,026 180,696 196,950 207 388 277,134 233,616 188z 255,880 254,842 The bags of coffee average 130 pounds weight, so that last year St. Louis sold over 33,000,000 lbs. of coffee at a total value of nearly ee oe Now there was imported into the Thiied States last year $46,000,000 of coffee, so that St. Louis disposed of 1-9 of the entire coffee consumed in the country. lt was uot ascertained what the sales of coffee have been for the present year, but they will not fail behind those of 1882, notwithstandiag the increase in price, The sales of sugar in 1882 in St. Louls were 319,- 034 barrels and 19,581 bags, as against 294;796 bar- rels apd 12,171 Dags in 1881. This does not count hogshead sugar. St. Louis is not a grekt tea market, as its territory is nota tea-consuming one, yet the receipts of tea here average annually 36,000 chests or packaces. Rice is an important item inthe St. Louis gro- cery trade. The statistics of the same for the last eight years show a constant increasé, or one of 100 per cent in eight years, as fullows: Receipts, Exports, * Sacks and bris, Packages. 17,991 24,465 26,563 20,467 28,154 34.608 . 50,281 882 49,305 48, The increase of sugar shipments ip 1882 over 1881. was 10 per cent. The increase for the present year will be equatiy great, as sugar has been ex- tremely low all the year. Granulated sugar is now selling in New York City at 8cents. Last year it was 9% cents. Of this reduction of 14 cepts,% cents is due to the tariff ¢hange. One gen- tleman told the Post-DISPATCHM reporter that sugar is now WER THAN EVER BEFORE in the history of the country. Ante-bellum prices have at last been passed. Sugar is a staple that always sells on au extremely small margin, and to the retailer offers no prot at all unless aduitera- tion is gone into. Some explain the pres- ent unsatisfactory condition of the sugar business on the ground, over-production. ‘There are now too Many refineries for the needs of the country,” affirms a St. Louis authority. Canned goods of most des@riptions have been selling lower all the year than for several years past. Without doubt this has been due to severe competition and over-prodyction. There has, in- been a reguiar War among the packers, which ts still raging fiercely witn no prospect of a diminution before vext summer. Ganese goods are general down in the early months of the year, and then a reaction sets in., This year there was no n.

That's the best little saddle- hoss you ever see. Rud all day. He’s not so good in a buggy, but he manages to whirl me all around this big city between morniog and night in very good shupe, nevertheless.” Officer Holmes, the special agent of the Humane Society, would have grown eloquent over his little roan horse, had not a Post-Drsrarcu reporter who had just started out with him for the day, turned his conversation in another direction. “Yes, I haye plenty of work to do,” said the kind;laoking big-hearted agent. *“T have so much to attend to answering com- plaints made to the office and looking after them subsequently, thatl have little time left to look up work. Lain the only speciai agent of the jety. There oughtto befuur more. I would ave iocover fifty-three miles of territory to do my work every day. Every once in a while you see a card in your paper beginning, ‘Where is the Society?’ and going on to relate some Case Of crueliy to animals, There was a com- jlaint in last night’s paper, for instance. Lord news idiiketo beableto get ail over this city every day, but we baven’t got to making such time yei, and I have to be satisied with getting around as much as I ean. Dv we have many complaints? Oh, yes. There’s one confounded mean thing about complaints, though. People seem averse to signing their names to them, and half the information we get is anonymous. When liook up the subject of complaint I have not the time of commission or other particulars concerning the alleged cruelty. Every one send- ingina complaint should give his name. I’ve gota complaint in my pocket now about the bru- tality of drivers on the levee.” The roan horse stopped with his bugey load at the bridge square, “Do you SE2E THAT FOUNTAIN?” asked Mr. Hoimes of the reporter. “There’s a boon toanimais. Do you know how many horses drauk trom there in one day last summer? Over 8,000. Lbad’em counted. The Humand Society put that there. We have anotber one at the in- temection of Fourth and Fifth streets and Chou- teau avenue. Go on, Tom! Now, here’s some- thing that is death to horses, this roadway.” The bugEy was joliiug up and down in the gullies and jitialls of Third street, between the bridge and Franklin avenue. “Presideut Flad says if all the macadam that has been pul on this street were dumped along it now it would be up to the second story windows of the houses, Ok at that rock, bic as your head. Right along here is where you see the hucksters’ horses. They come down here for green groceries, game, etc. Horses all looking pretty sleek, aln’t they? No galls there. Lord! the gails 1 used to strike when I'd start out bere a year or so ago. Why,the peopie have no idea what ihe Humane Society has done iv this city for the alleviation of suffering among dumb animals. Now we'iltakea look at the levee.”’ The buggy was bere turned into the levee from Biddie street and the roan’s nose pointed toward the, bride. “Do you see that slope,” said Mr. Holmes, in- qicatiug a track worn lengthwise along the levee. “That's the society’s work. The teamsters used to whale their horses right up the hill. 1 stopped that. Now, you see, they make a long detwur, so us tomake it easy ior the horses. Auother thing: Vown at the boats there where they are loading up, there are, as ou see, a number of teams with oads already. They're walting for helpers. Help- ers are extrateams. Every heavy load that gues Up this levee is drawn by ivur horses.” The bug- BY stopped and the workof the teamsters was Watched fora While. The great draught horses Strained their backs and th heavy truck wheels moved slowly. The teamste’, Walking beside the horses, lrged them on wiih his peculiarery. Of the twenty or more loads drawn up the levee in- cline only one Was drawn By horses which were stimulated witha black-snake whip. The hard, heavy work was done easily. Officer Hoimes urged his horse on again and stopped him ai the foot of Cherry street. “The teams have quit go- ing up this street on account of tue poor road, and oup Morgan instead. Morgan street is nicely aved, butthe grade isfrigntiul.”” The grade n Morgan _ street was frightful. At be foot of the street was a team with A HEAVY LOAD. Ap empty truck was preceding it. Some conver- sation occurred between the drivers. The driver of the empty truck hitched his vehicle to the pole of the heavily-ioaded truck aud assisted the rear teah™ in their apparently impossible work of clin “og the grade. Hall way up the horses were reste. Phen the rest of the hill was climbed, the first wagon released and both vehicles were driven their separate ways. “‘Dhere’s suimething that was never done before the Humane Societ ot to work,” said Mr. Holmes, “The boys all elp eich other out now, where they used to be as selfish as dampation. Now, I’m going to give you au idea of tle sireets these teams havet go over. No one can estimate theterribie suf jg caused to horses by our bad streets. Kve ul means so much more pulling ior an ap Ae Main street north of Franklin avenue was a § ght. Notwithstanding the recent spell of fine weather the street Was muddy. Hills and holiows were the rule. About the Lacied@ Gas Works tne condition of the street passed description. The roan dropped tv a walk and the buggy rose and fell like a ship in aheaving sea. Taking up his mono- locue as he drove up to and along Broadway, where the road was from three inches to a fout lower than the strect-car tracks, Mr. Holmes said: “Now, this complainant about brutality on the levee may have seen what he says took place. We haven't seen any beating done. Probably that’s because the ibamsters saw me around. They are all pretty shy of me. You would jaugh to fre the way | get aiter these big brutai fellows, jump down aud stop one of them, he curses, I curse back, he goes to fight, I whip off my coat, sometimes we bave a tussle, but always the horses are better treated, and every check given to cruelty is a reveutive of other such cruelty. Asa matier of act We ouieht to have one Man on that levee all the time. There is only i\hirteen miles of it. Look at this mule.” A Mule walkiug on his hoof as one would Walk on owue’s toe Was passing. “There’s a mule how that has been crippled by some brutal feilow that just beat the heart out of it. Too heavy loads when it was young, ana the tendons of his foot were strung. ello, there,’’ The roan was stopped and Hoimes jumped out of the buggy. A leciure on driving a ‘“‘crowbait”’ Was given an old darkey who haa brougut ifia load of shucks from the country, and the agent was in the buggy again. In five minutes the UNION 8TOCK YARDS reachei. An hour was poking at the hundreds of hogs, sheep nad cattie. The animals were dirty and scrubby-looking, especially the cattle. The — = where the maimed sheep and hogs are kept, KuUpthe atieution of theagent. Halfa en sorry-looking hogs and two sheep with the worn on the sides lay on the ground, A spent there, ~ gwitech-engine outside was Dacking down a num- ber of stock cars. The trein stopped, the engiue whistied a signal, and the dozen or more idiers ran to the pens outside to see the unloading of atock. This performance was iaughabie. A stal- =LESS SLAVES. wart fellow entered one of the cars which was full Pap. ng 4 wether endeav- ored to take it Out. A catch-as-catch-can wrest- ling match ensued, in which the wether won the fall, but was finally conquered by the lusty stockman. Under the eye of Mr. Holmes the of wether was mila. When into the pen the rest of clined to gore their drivers. aware of anew danger the re rons in time to escape being ifted over it by an rave bull. The bunch of butchers and drovers laughed right merrily. “Look out how you tie your calves now, boys; Hoimes is around,” said Obe of them and the crowd laughed again, After the agent and the reporter had left the stock yards this remark was explained. “That feliow, you noticed, was pretty well dressea,’’ said Mr, Hoimes. “It is singular what ignorance prevails among men who are supposed to know something. Those men inthe stock yards believe that the laws which I enforce are mere rules of the Hu- mane iety. ‘I can’t obey your rules,’ an intel- ligent man said to me the other day. ‘My rules!’ suys 1; ‘they’re the laws of the State, ana when you beat your horse, you are committing as great un offense as.if you stole anything under 830! These men laugh and jeer at me, but I meet them with a laugh and we get alon nicely. They used to tie the legs of acalf ina bunch, and the poor thing was jolted over rough roadsin that condi- tion. 1 stopped that, and now calves receive some sort of altention. Cows used to be tied up also, but now they are carried in an invention of my own, which you may have seen in butchers’ wacons. Itresemblesa hen-coop. In this the cows can stand up during their ride. Tie scrubby-looking cattle vou ha ust seen are bought by butchers and slaugh all over the city by all sorts of butchers, The city is greatly IN NEED OF AN ABATTOIR. Just to give you an idea of how these cattle are Killed, I'll take you to a slaughter-house.” The siaughter-house that was vyisiied is in a thickiy- opulated part of the city, surrounded by large, 1apdsolne residences, adjoining a police station, and in the rear of a butcher shop which fronts on a fine residence-street. The butchers greeted the agent with loud cordiality. “We'll have one tn, in a minute,” said one who was washing a side ol beef. The slaughter-house was a snail lace. At one siae in full view of 1¢ place where their brethren fell under the blows of the butcher were huddied a croup of trembiing, shivering cattle. They were scrub stock, cattle fit ouly for sausage meat, for which purpose their meaiis to be altogether used, Bui in their miast was a reund, plump Lit- tle heifer, with a head that an artist would lieve to sketch. in its eyes was a pileous expression, ao aimost human look of pieading. Thatit knew the fate in store for it there could beno doubt. The dying groan of the slaughtered ones must bave bad a weaning Kuowa to it that was hidden from human ears. The smell of the smoking bluod which reddened the floor must have caused the trembling which shook itsferm. Tbe apvimal lovbked iike a pet, $0 young and shapely was it, and the reporter feund au answering expression to the pity he feit ior itin the agent’s tae, The butchers, throuch with their Work, supped the blood from the fluor with the hide of the iast vic- tim, aud then went into what they called a gang- way, where a number of cows were crowded, aud chased one of tuem into a side apartment. A rope Was thrown around its neck aud the cow was dragged into the siaughtering room. Tne rope was ful through an irou ring in the floor, the cow’s nose pulled duwa to the ring aud the rope made fast. Then the boss wvuicher, seizing a heavy maul, poisea it over his siwulder and brought it aown with great force and swiftness ou the cow’s turehead, crushing in the pone. The animal fell without a groan. The blow was repeated twice, the eyes of the cow closed, iis legs kicked and twitched and tien all movement suvsided. Taking out his Kuile the Dutcher SLIT THE THROAT, pulled the hide aside aud piuoged the knife into the main arvery. A sifeani of Lot bDivod burst out, aud in two seconds the floor was fluvded. Tuven the work of skinning the Carcass and cullliyg dt up Was begun, avd in tweuty minutes the floor was ready lor another cow. “When you waut to seé any more scientific butchering just come around,” said the butcher proudly, as ue bowgd his visitors quit. ‘Tne necessity of au ab.tivir,” continued Mr. Hoimes, “18 NOW apparel w you. Tat vutcher is a first-class ope. Lhere are sume wiww deliver a dozeu blows belore a cow is killed. He kKiils with one. .But all the animals are looking on, and of course Know what is progressing. What thew suilerings must be can We easily imagined.” Adairy outLonthe Natural Bridge road was next visited. The dairy grounds were a sWaipp of manure aud water. Thrvugii «a collec- tiou oO: low sheds ig ove corer of the place, Mr. Holmes took bis guest. In the first shed, wuicu Was duik and filthy lO a nauseating degree, were seven Cows Wilh caives. Tile large slled Ud julu- ing Was well ventilated, It was so rickety as io excite wouder LOW it Was held up. This piace Was @ liitie Cleaner than the other, but not wuct. Tuere Were Bo cows init. The stable was large enough, ove would tulok, for the accommodation of 4 eam aud tue storage of a Wagon. The pro- prietor of the dairy salad that tuirty-eigui cows were Kept there. How thirty-eight cows couid find room enough in there to jie Guwh was a iys- tery he did not explain, however. Myr.. Hoimes wien in the road aguin, said that he hau succeeded Ww gebliug a space of 3x5 lor eachcow where formeriy there wus 444x5 lor iwo, barely rovim for them to stad up. To descrive the fiithiness of the place ts ve- yond tie recorder’s powers. A general tour of the city Was then Made by Mr. Holmes and thi reporter, Ou South Jefferson aveuue a bey driviniy & team Of tuUles Altaciied to a rock-wayou was stopped. The sivulders ol the mules Were bauly galled. ‘Alu, 1 know these icliows,’ saia the agent, ‘Tivy’ve Heffies. What's your naine, lii- tie iellow?” ‘lLuony Heffle,’ the boy repiied. ‘Weill Touy, just drive your wagon over to the side of the road and unbitch that ieam: take them home aud tell your faiher I’m gettiug tured of having them workeu. iv’s spel enough movey in flues aad costs to more than pay lor auether team.” The boy obeved the officer and in a few minutes was Off on his way home witli tue horses. The jju- mane party tollowed, aud at the Wild Hunter’s auotler TEAM WITH GALLED SHOULDERS was encountered. Alier talking Ww the driver about them, the agent drove to Heffle’s and leci- ured that worthy until the old man threw up bot); hands ana vowed he would never, never work that team agaia, At avuotuer end of the cliy, ou Salis- bury street, a limping horse was stopped. It was said & be owned by Fienup, tue grocer, by the young man who was Griving it. The young man took a message with him on his return, which probably caused Mr. Fienup to growl at the law which compelled him to leta SICK HOI Se rest Until it recovered its strength. AN APPEAL. The many incidents of the day would be tire- some to report. Suffice it to say the repurter was wearied with looking at the arched backs of heavily-worked horses before nightfall and wis willing to concede that the work of the Humaie Society was vot half what it should be. Speaking of this fact te Mr. Henry Pettes, one of the ardent members of the _ svcicty, that gentiefhan said: “The svciety has no means to more generally prosecute its work. We want the people of St. Louis to come torward and help us aiong. ifthose who have sympatuy for dumb animals would oniy contribute a mite io the support of the Society they would assist won- derfuily in the maiutebauce and proper conduct of the Work. The society is sustained by countri- butions altogether. There ought ww be enough money contributed every year to pay the salaries of four or five ageuts. The peo- pie shouid all be interested i» this matter. They will get better beef, for there is no disputing the fact that cattle Just Offatrain that has brought them hundreds of miles are not fit to eat, being feverish, weak aud bruised. - better milk, They will also ‘get for darymen will be compelled to furnish proper shelter and plenty of room and food for their stock, which the svock, in many one do not now have, Sem | will assist in the circulation of liter- ature which will have the effect of checking cru- elty and brutality. The scope of the work to be done bv the suciéty fs very large, and we badly need funds to aid us in the little work we do. We keep Mr. Holmes out al] the time. We need other agents. All the complaints made at the office are attended to immediately, but there is always work to be done outside of these matters, and we public eucouragement very much.” — Ir you have a sore throat, a cou h, or a cold, try Bb.

Great interest is‘manifested by the members of the Royal Arcanum over several important events which are to shortly take place in this city. On December 12 the Hon John Haskell Batler of Boston, the Supreme Regent of the Royal Arcanum, wili institute at Euclid Council’s ball, corner Fourth and Elm streets, the Grand Council of Missouri, composed of all the regents and past regents in the State. The formation of a Grand Council will undoubtedly be fol- lowed by a rapid growth of the order throughout the State, as a knowledge of this or- der is really ail that is necessary to bring into Its ranks the best men im every community. This order was founded about six years ago and now it numbers about 50,000 members in tne United States. It is noted for its high physical and social giandard. The medical examination Is the most thorough of any synilar society in the country. Its membership consists almost entirely of merchants, bankers, lawyers, impisters, physicians and men in the higher walks of life. On Thursday even- ing, December 13, the new ritual of the order will be exemplified for the first time and a large attendance is lookedfor. The crowning event of the week will be the grand reception, ball and banquet given by Valley Coup- cil, No, 438, on Friday evening, December 14, at the Lindell Hotel, in honor of the Supreme and Grand Councils. Valley Council has 350 members, among them some of St. Louis’ most prominent citizens. These gentiemen, with their ladies and honoree guests, Will make a grand gathering, and one long to be remembered by those fortunate tu participate. The committees having this affair in charge intend to make it one of the greatest social events of the season. WHERE there is a weakness of the throat or lungs, a cold neglected may be all that is required 10 establish a lingering and generally fatal dis- ease. Kven where there is vo special — to bronchial or pulmouary trouble, a severy cold, left to take care of itself, often plants the seeds ofa serious complaint, sure to be developed by subse- quent indiscretions.

The New Play in Rehearsal at Wallack’s, Patti and Mapleson—The Salsbury Trouba- dours’ New Piece, “Three of a Kind’’— Seating Capacity of the St. Louis Theaters —Stage Notes. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, December 7.—The rehearsals of Supreme Court Judge George ©. Barrett’s play, ‘An American Wife,” are proceeding very ac- tively at Wallack’s Theater, Mr. Wallack ace cepted the piece on his own judgment of it, and he says that it is the strongestAmerican piece he has read in many a year. Judge Barrett has haa the conceptton of the play in his mind for a 1ong time, and he has elaborated it at odd times during some years past. It is the first time that a Judge on the bench in New York has writtena play, par- ticularly a good one, that has been accepted. Mr. Harry Edwards, whois the stage manager, and to whom the production is intrusied, Is very en- thusiastic over the way. in which it devel- ops, and the actors like their parts, which is a somewhat unusual thing. Beyond the fact that this is the tirst purely American play that has been produced at Wallack’s inmany years, there will be a great deal of interest_excited by the posi- tion of the eminent author. ‘The cast will be as strong a one asthe management can give it. Mr. Tearie and Miss Coghlan are GIVEN THE PRINCIPAL PARTS, ‘ and Mr. Glenny, who made such a hit in “Moths,” will also have a part suited to his sterling abilities. Beyond these Mr.Jobn Gilbert,Madame Ponisi and Miss Measer will play prominent roles. ‘Lhe title is suggestive of what the play will be. Miss Coghlan plays the American Wife and she has several scenes of unquestionable power. Mr. Tearle has the bestrole he has known at this house for some time, “The Roadto Ruin,” the present attraction at Wallack’s, is not intended to run tong, sO that we may expect Judge Barrett's play to be produced about Monday week if it can be got ready in that time. A Statement About Patti Denied. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, December 7.—A statement having been printed in London tothe effect that Mme. Patti had written to someof her English friends complaining of her reception by the Ameri- cah public this season, a reporter called at the Windsor Hotel yesterday. Mme. Patti contented herself with a short but explicit denial of any such complaint on her part and, excusing herself onthe plea of fatigue anda slight cold, requested Signor Fran- chi, her secretary, to give any further information that was desired. Signor Franchi shook his head with ap air of melancholy. “These false reports are too bad,” said he. ‘Madame Patti is the last person to have written such a thing, even if it were true, as itfis not.éShe is entirely satisfied with er season here. and why, indeed, should she not be? She sings to full houses and receives her sal- aryreculariy. Limnagine I know BY WHOM THE REPORT WAS STARTED. A certain journalist and composer now ¢quar- tered in London is aggneved because Madame Patu did not sing a certain song of his at a con- cert at witteh the Prince of Wales was present. It was on the programme, but certain of the dis- tincuished audience wished some other song eubstituted, and this was accordingly done. Madame Patti is pleased and satisfied with her engagement and you cannot put it in strong enough terms.” Mr. Mapleson treated the matter with light ana airy indifference. “All personal spite, my dear boy,”’ said he, inhaling the scentof a tube rose in his button-hole. “A certain German musician, who formerly, I believe, edited a week- ly newspaper in this city and is now in London, is down on Madame Patti because she would not sing one of his confounded songs at a conceri she gave before she left England. He wreaks his petty spite inthis fashion. FPatti’s engagement has been the biggest surt of success, and if you come tothe special matinee next Saturday you will be able to judge tor yourself, . Every seat is sold already, and I expectthe speculators will reap a rich harvest,” ee THE THEATERS. ; Pope’s Theater was filled with a large audience last evening, and the new farcial comedy, *‘Three of a Kind” proved a great “go,” and with judici- cous application of the Knife will preve a very in- teresting addition to the Troubadours’ repertorel. There is but little pretense to a plot in the piece, the firstiwo acts veing devoted to the illustration of the peculiar mishaps befalling summer board- ers atan out of the way darm-house, the last be- ing reminiscent of Byron's “Our Boys,” and show- ing the tribulations of the three young men out of St. Louis Chapter.

Pickwick Theater was packed with an appreci- ative audience, gathered by invitation of Excel- sior Lodye, No. 18, 1.0.0. F. There were eich- teen numbers on the programme, and all of them were weilrendered. Mrs. Mattida Scoit Paime and Flora Pike deserve special mention, as their solos were beautitully sung. The petite Pauline Boliman (we used to cal) her Schuler) never looked pretiier nor sang betier. Her solv, “Ah! Dost Thou ve?” brought down the house. Poindexter Was in f00d Voice and gave two basso numbers. Messrs. Redlieffer and Frank D. Cook gave the recitations. Dr. Bowman's “Mormon sermon” was funny and very funnily given. The instrumental selections were gova: Mrs. Bierman and ber littie son on the piano, the zither mauipu- laved by Buchroedh, the flute by Euzinger, and Prot. Norst jaye acceptably the “Sallarelio” of Salter. Miss Nellie Marca “DPevk-a-booed”’ in fine style. The programme was lengthy; com- mittees often make a fatal mistake by clongation. The hop that followed was delightiul, and was participated ip by over a lundred couple. —— ee oe ee - _-— A Rare Charce.

Loring, an old favorfie with St. Louis audiences, Was very clever in the roles ot Ezra and Mr, Delain. But to my thinking the hit of Lhe evening was made by Thos. E. Jackson, who, a8 the Volupiuous, but ancient village ves- tal, Pristilla Prism, was exceedingly tunony—al- though atrifie broad attimes. Ili was a new at- tempt in ihe ourlesque female line and created no end of merriment, The farce was well set and the music and recitations introduced were “catchy” and selected with good judgment. “Three ofa Kind” has made an undoubied suc- cess, and will be presenied the baiance of the week, , eee Lytton Sothern will change his bill to-night, ap- pearing as David Garrick and as Hugh de Brass mm “A Regular Fix.” This was one of his father’s faverite bills, Dut will give the junior a better scope tocut loose from the iimitative and show what bis real calibre is as alight comedian.

HOW IT IS DONE, Facts About the Diamond Business of iIn- terest to the Public. It takes years of experience and an expertness seldom possessed by the ordinary purchaser to buy diamonds from any and all dealers, and at the same timeget the full value of the money ex- pended. When it is considered that the slightest flaw or dimness$ or mistake in the cuiting, or bad color, often not discernivle by the naked eye, and scarcely revealed by the microscope, greatly impairs values, it will be understood how difficult a matter selection is, and how easy a matter de- ception is. The Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Com- pany, at Fourth and Locust, has done for the diamond trade what no other firminthis country ever did. It has so thoroughly systematized it that the most ignorant buyer is as sure, and sometimes more so, of a good bargain as an expert. Every stone in the estab- lishment is selected and classitied by an expert, and has a price marked on it according to value that is never departed trom. This system has made it possible for purchases to be made just as well by order froma distance as by personal in- spection, because in consequence of it the firm can and dows issue a magnificent catalogue,which fully describes and gives the price ol every kind ot diamond and mounting in the stock. This catajocue is thoroughly rehable,and can be or- der from with perfect assurance of obtaining exactly as represented what is ordered. This trade froin a distance gets the full benefit of the enormous reduction in prices that have been re- cently made, and that this reduction and system is fully appreciated is demonstrated by the iminense number of orders from East, West, North and South, now being re- ceived dally. Tue actual figures, with regard to sales at home and abroad. would astonish peopie if published. Nothing equaito it hasever been known in St. Louis. There are yet elegant op- portunities for buyers which should be taken ad- vantage of at once. In the case of A. J. Smith vs. Dr. J. L. Fitzpor- ter Justice Sheehan yesterday gave a decision in favor of the plaintiff for $25 and costs. ee SIACORS OI, ar® ¢ : + : ~ \ ; . — Ph . , ‘9 : my en 0 ‘wy —— N ; : N : . 4 2 e ay) iy ‘wih Ae Jf tee al ! ipo: - a ‘ ru ee a Rin ee Hs .

We frequently read of the expogure of bogus med- ical colleges aud the prosecution of their managers tor selling diplomas and turning out fraudulent doc- tors to practice their impositions upon the afflicted. Bad as these institutions are, and ngerous as the ignorant pretenders they mn out may be, the public has to deal with a class of physicians more dangerous still—bogus doctors who cannot be reached by legal proceedings under existing statutes, but whose con- tinued outrages will some day stir up a sentiment that will demand s 1 laws for the public protec- tion, Patients need not employ doctors who practice any special systems, or who are graduates of ques- tionable colleges, unless they choose to doso. But there are thousaads of graduates of colleges, now in good standiug, who are not, never will be, and, iu the natural order of events, mever can qualitied to practice medicine, These are the dangerous quacks witose fatal blunders so often bring discredit on the whole profession, and against whom the afflicted have no protection. Their diplomas shield them from legal prosecution, and their connection with medical societies which are bound to support them preserves their standing in the community. When we consider that it is for the pecuniary interest of every medical college to turn out as many graduates as - sible every year, we need not be surprised at the number of incompeteut doctors there are throughout the country who hold diplomas from legally chartered medica: institutions in good stand- ing. Under tnese conditions it is plain that a diploma isno proof of knowledge, skill or proficiency in the ractice of medicine. While every doctor shoula ave a — diploma, he should also beable to pro- duce other evidences of his proficiency, and if he can not produce other evidences, he should not be en- trusted witb the care of the sick. Success is the only positive proof of skill, The Drs. K & K Surgeons hold diplomas from some of the very best medica! colleges of the United States, but they do not hold this fact outas an inducement for any patient to come to them for treatment. They claim and evjoy the confidence of the afflicted, and of the public in general, on account of their practical success in the treatment of all diseases and deformi- ties—a success that is proved beyond dispute by the testimony of thousands of grateful patients. After the Failure of Six Doctors. Kenney had disease of the liver and after unsuccessful treatment regular doctors, was ro- nounced incurable and left todie,with the comforting assurance that he would not live more than five weeks. the Drs. K & K surgeons took his case, and now, at the end of six weeks, heis stili alive, working every day, and bids fair to outlive those who proph- esied his early death. After the Failure of a Professor. Mrs. Leuber having suffered for six years with a distressing blood and skin disease, and having spent several hundred dollars for useless treatment, went toan eminent professor in a well-known medical college. He took charge of the case for six months. Atthe end of that time the patient was worse thap she had ever been before, and the Pro- fessor probounced her case hopeless, She then oP- plied tothe Drs. K & K Surgeons and was cured in three months. The Professor understood the theory of medicine, but he did not know how to practice it. A Dangerous Experiment. Mr. Kemple, of St. Louis, had kidney disease and mut himself under the treatment of a doctor who 1eld a professorship in a college and diplomas from two separate institutions,but who. unfortunately, had but very little practical expertence. The patient grew rapidly worse under his treatment, and soon found that he was making a dangerous experiment with a Physician wholly unskilled in the treatment of such diseases. Three months under the treatment of The Drs. K & K Surgeons restored his health, Saved His Eyesight. Mr. Rand had a severe affection of the eyes and went toa free clinic to be operated on. The result was that his eyes were nearly destroyed and it was only by the skiliful treatment of ihe Drs. K & K Surgeons that his sight was preserved. Helping the Drugzgists. Mrs. Mary Dalgren had dyspepsia and indigestion complicated with nervous and uterine disorders and was almust constantly taking medicine. Her phys- iclan gave hera vew prescription every few days, and she soon had two shélves of half filled botties containing various kinds ef medicine. The great and ever-increasing extent and variety of the col- lectivn finally set her to thinking, and she came to the conclusion that her dector either did not understand her case and was experimenting to see what would do ber the most good or eise he changed the prescriptions to help the druggists’ busi - ness. She made up her mind thatin either case he was not the decterc for her, and dropped his treat- mententirely. A short time afterwards she was ad- vised to go ww the Drs. K K Surgeons. They gave her the right mediciue at Orstand cured her witbout changing it once. Two Mistakes. Seven weeks ago two gentlemen called on the Drs. K & K Surgeons for treatment. One of them had been told that his lungs were diseased beyond all hope of restoration, and he carri markson his chest to indicate where cayities had*"formed. On ex- amination it was proved that his lungs were perfectly sound,and by apprupriate treagMent he has been cured. The other geutleman had been told, notwitn- standing the plainestindications of tuberculosis, his lungs were alirightarndin no danger of becoming diseased. On examinatson by the rs. K . Sur- geons it was found thatthe deposition of tubercular matter was rapidiy progressing,and adelay of a few weeks longer would prove fatal, These two mistakes were discovered in time, but if the patients had been content to follow the adyice of the ductors who made tne mistakes,they would, in all probability, have been either dead or incurabie by this time, Dangerous Operations. The old saying that “feolgs rush in where angels fear to tread’’is nowhere better exemplified than by those ignorant dociors who are always anxious to make a show and advertise themselves by perform- ing painful and dangerous overations. Hundreds of patients have been snurdered and thousands more inaimed and cmppied for life by useie:s operations. It is only two mouths since thata young tady suffer- ing with necrosis of t be boves of ine right ankle was told thatthe limb must be amputated to save her life. »he had aimost been persuaded to submit to the « peration when she heard of the Drs. K & K Sur- geons and their success in such cases. She com- meuced their treatmet, and bas already so far recoy- ed as4o feel contident of a compiete cure, Pleasant Treatment. Mrs. Okamper of Baltimore writes: ‘I am progress- ing as fast as could be expected under the circum- stances. My piles do not trouble me much now. ‘the tumors are reduced in size and the pain is not severe. What pleases me much i.the painless character ot the treatinent. I have been treated for pilesso much, and have been used to such harsh afd painful reme- dies, that I can fuily appreciate treatment th at causes BO pain or inconvenience.” > ‘aur ; r A Persevering Young Man. Mr. H. writes from St. Paul, Minn.: “I am happy to beabie to return a cheertul auswer to your iu- quiry in regard to my bealth. I finished taking the last suj ply of medicine about &@ montn ago, aud felt so wellthat I cunciuded it was uunecessary to con- tinue ionger. lam sincerely grateful to you for what you have done tor me, Fer five years I had been try- ing to find sumething that would restore my health and viger, but I was disappointed so often that mauy times i felt like giving upin dsepair. but somehow I always grasped at everything tnat offered any hope of reher, for l feitihatif 1 could not get cured my whole lite would bea failure. Il feel now that I have been ainply rewarded for tiny perseverance, although l have great respect for those doctors who treated me and did me no good.” This young man was treatea for nervous prostration and sexual weak- hess. Friendly Interest. Mrs. Franklin of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes: ‘I send you the name of a frieud of mine who desires your services, anu J trust that you will doas much for eras you diaforme. She has been a great sufferer for many years with womb disease. 1 bave not hada touch of ithe rheumatism since you treated me, six mouths ago,and my health is perfect im every re- spect. Ishall always remember you with gratitude, and recommend you to all my afflicted acquaint- -” ances. Wants More Medicine. Mr. Kobbe writes from Paducah, Ky.: “Send me another supply ot medicine. My month will be up next week aua I ao uot wantto be out of the reme- dies till [am cured. I havé improved rapidly durin the jastthree weeks, aud I am fully satisied wit your treatment.” « No More Starving. Mr. Sattler. of Kansas City, writes. “I can now eat heartily without suffering auy disagreeable copse- uences. For many years | was forced to starve and diet myself on account of indigestion, but your treat menthas cured me.” Four of the most skilled and experienced of The Drs.
