NEw YoOrK, July 31.—A large schooner yacht named the Sarah Oraig, which was bringing a 3 of sixteen ladies and gentlemen from *hiladelphia to New York, was swamped in the terrific gale off Sandy Hook last night. According to the latest reports Six ladies and one young gen- tleman were @rowneGd. The schooner-yacht was seen off Sandy Hook trying to beat to shore. She was sailing almost under bare poles, and leaped from wé.ve to wave as the wind struck her with a force that was almost phenomenal. From Sandy Hook Light-house it was seen that several persons were on board. Her course was directly for the shore, as though it was the intention of her sailing master to each. He neared the Government ock when a heavy gust of wind came and the vessel seemed to be entirely lifted from the water. She did not right herself quickly — The water poured into the cabin and. she overturne 1. Although the Seg was 1 high, boats wer, put out, but it Huld not be reached. Finally atug appeared and then it was discovered that nine of the pleasure party which Had made use ot ine yacht were clinging to the rigging, Ty.ey were rescued and brought ashore. Mrs. Stevens’ body has been recovered and more will bes got up shortly. It was said the yacht was running toward the inside of the ook to escape the fury of the wind and thee ladies had all gone into. the cabin to avoid the rain. Some of ‘them, feeling nervous, the sailing master weint below to reassure them, and just as he reactied the deck again the squall struck the yacht and she went over. No one had time to esc ape from the cabin. THE ILL-FATED PARTY. PHILADELPHIA, July 31.—The plessure party of the ill-fated yacht, Sarah Craig, left this city on Tuesday, 27thinst., for an eleven days’ run along tne Atlantic coast as far as Newport. Mr. T. M. Stevens, his wife, two daughters and afew friends arranged for the trip, but Mr. Stevens, who is the man- ager of the Union Mutual Aid Associa- tion of No. 129 South Seventh = street, was unable to get off at the last moment on account of an unexpected press of business. The party was to have visited Cape May, Atlantic City, Newport and perhaps other laces further up the country, and would — returned to Philadelphia to-day week. Miss M. Stevens was the book-keeper in dis office and Mrs. her sister, was the wife of the late Treasurer of McCaull’s Opera-house in this city, and now the manager of the Wilming- ton (Del.) Opera-house. The crait was nired upon representation of friends that she was a staunch craft, arid her masterathorough sailor. The »arty left here in very high spirits, and when ast heard from were at Atlantic City, and were having a ve leasant trip. The Misses Merritt lived on North Twentieth street and were in comfortable circumstances, their father hav- ing laft them same property when he died some time ago. Mrs. Maud Rettew was a young lady friend of the Merritts. Young Chester Clark was a telegraph operator. BODIES RECOVERED. The following bodies of victims of the Sara Craig disaster have been recovered: Mrs. T. H. Stevens, Miss M. Stevens, Mrs. Atkin, Miss Maud Rellew, Mr.Clark and the Misses Merritt. Much credit is due Capt. Tullv for diving down into the cabin to recover the bodies. Another search will be made for the missing. The name of the tug that rescued the saved is Wm. Cramp. The Storm at Rockaway Beach. ROCKAWAY BracH, L. I., July 31.—Two un- known sloops lying at anchor in Jamaica Bay were capsized. No one was aboard of them. A large portion of therailing and awning frames of the iron pier was carried away and fhe structure was otherwise damaged.“ The loss will probably amount to $1,000. Mr. and Mrs. Shannon of Brooklyn nar- escaped bein blown from the pier. They were saved with difficulty. The 7:15 train on the New York, New Haven and Rockaway Railroad was crossing the trestle over Jamaica Bay, when the storm came up and was almost blown from the track. The passengers were demoralized for several hours, and the excitement was intensified by the bowsprit of an unknown schooner, which had been driven from her anchorage, running between two cars, 2 considerable damage. The schooner’s bowsprit was broken clean off. Water was blown over thetrestie and into the cars. It was the worst storm ever known here. Damaged by Storm. NEw BRUNSWICK, N. J., July 31.—Reports from the surrounding country show that much damage was done by last night’s storm. A man named Dorpher, living near Dunham’s Corner, was struck by lightning while culti- — ae im and was killed. His son, who was standing by, was severely injured. The Rolling Mill Disaster. CoLtumsus, O., July 31.—There were about thirty-five men engaged in getting the new machinery into position at the rolling mill, and luckily they were working outside the wain structure when the storm came. The elevator over the building fell first and crashed through the roof, which gave warning to the men, who had gathered on one side of the buiiding to get out of the rain, which was coming down in torrents. After the elevator bad tallen they noticed that the roof had raised —— ot ope to t the vos the teuilig timbers 8d Bl unsil 4 * 5 3 * * 4 ee wa & WT: ve „ Cora Atkin,” — they received assistance f¥ om friends and who gathered soon py hundreds.

Fischer, have colorless faces, showing’the evident effect of the trial. The young bomd- maker, Lingg, is the only one ot the cluster on trial who appears to carry him. self in an une oncerned manner. Tue court- room was crowded as usual. John Deegan, a brother of the murdered officer, Matthias J. Deegan, wos called and testified to seeing the dead body ot his brother at the morgue on the morning #>f Way 5. Officer Burns testified to aiding iv lifting Officer De@gan’s body into the patrol ¥ vyagon soon after the explosion of the bomb, and testified to the fact of his death. This vas merely farmal testimony. The de- fense declined to cross-examine. TP e State offered in evidence articles which ap) seared in the Arbeiter-Zeitung just prior to the May massacre, outlining the violence W hich would follow the inauguration of the f:ight-hour movement. One of the articles declared that no morning should pass without the announcement being published that the carcass Of a Pinkerton detective had been found by the roadside. Under date of Novem- ber 27, 1885, a notice was printed announcing that armed drills would be held every Sunday merning at No. 58 Claybourne avenue to pre- pare for the revolution on May 1. Onthe samo date the method for fashioning dynamite bombs was outlined. In December, 1885, an article warned workingmen not to assemble on May lunless armed. SPIES’ LITERATURE. ' In a later article penned by Spies, he warned all workingmen to thoroughly arm themselves and be prepared to tight the po- lice, the Pinkerton detectives and the militia on May 1. On January 2 an article was printed urging that dynamite bombs should be prepared for use against these forces. The defense suggested that the latter was a communication to the paper and that Spies should not be held responsible for the suggestion. Other articles from the pen of Spies were read and published at various times down to May 4, urging workingmer to arm and fight the police and militia to the death on May 1. The reading of an editorial signed by Spies directed against a Justice of the Appellate Court and — 22 him with death by dynamite, owing to his decision in favor of a railway company as against an injured employe, caused the first wave of merriment among the defendants during the forenoon. The read- ing of these articles was prolonged longer than had been expected, with the prospect that it would prolong the case for the prosecution before the noon adjournment. Without con- cluding the reading ofjthese articles the court adjourned until 2 p. my CLOSING CONTRACTS. The Street Car Men Decide to Test the Cable System. A meeting of representative street - car men was held this morning in tbe Gay building to discuss the Terry grip for cable cars. There were present Messrs. Maxon, Scullin, Maflit, Walsh, Peper and Johnston Beggs of Smith, Beggs & Rankin. X. Terry, inventor, and W. F. Nisbett, part owner of the patent, were also present. Another explanation of the workings of the grip was given by Mr. Terry, anda conclusion was arrived at and papers were drawn up and signed. The street car. Owners are to furnish the money for the experiment, which it is estimated will cost from 515,000 to $20,000. A fully equipped cable track will be laid in the old Exchange square, just east of Smith, Beggs & Rankin’s machine shop. It will be built with curves, crossings and switches, and Will, to all intents and purposes, be a complete cable line. The agreement calls for the imme- diate construction of the short road. The test will be carried on daily, the same as ona regular road, during this fall, next winter and through the spring. If by that time the grip is proved to be able to cross other cable lines and will do all also that is claimed for it, it will be adopted. The first line to be reconstructed will be the Broadway line. The Franklin avenue, Olive street and Washington avenue will follow and so on until the Seullin lines are reached. The Fourth Street, Benton- Bellefontaine lines and the Carondelet com- pany will doubtless follow if they are permitted to do 80 by the inventors and the other companies. The sentiment among the street car men is that a move to give the public means of rapid transportation at once will best serve their own interests, as it will make it more difficult for outsiders to obtain valuable franchise. The admitted effect of the Cable & Western Line on the Washington Avenue Company has stirred the street railroad men to take prompt action. STRANGER THAN FICTION, The Widow of Gen. Gordon of England Arrested for Theft. CHICAGO, July 81.—Some six weeks ago a woman nearly 70 years old went to Mrs. Whittaker’s, at Graceland, and engaged board and lodging for afew days while she was at- tending to the ereetion of a mohument over a relative buried there. The next morning Mrs. Whittaker missed $7 from the cash-box and accused her lodger of having taken it. The old lady admitted the theft and restored the money. The police were called in and she was arrested. On trial she ave her name as Mary Gordon. he said she was the widow of Gen. Gurdon of the British army, and formerly lived in Glas- ow, Scotland, and was on her way from San francisco to New York, where she had rela- tives, and was 2 from that point to England. Sherefused to give any name or addresses of any of her friends or relatives, and the police set her down as a shop-lifter. The charge was finally changed to disorderly conduct and she was sent to the bridewell on a $75 fine. It seems she told the truth in re- ard to herself. Her trunks went to New Fork and were found by her friends, who, after some difficulty, learned that she was detained in Chicago by some tronble. Yesterday an attorney received a letter from her son-in-law, Mr. Millwood of New York, asking him to investigate the matter. The at- torney came to Lake View, and after explain - ing matters to the Supervisor received from him an order for her release. She was dis- charged last night and will leave forthe East this morning. Building Permits. Building permits were to-day granted to Sophia 8.

LORD CHURCHILL MUST APOLOGIZE FOR GBOSS INSULTS TO GLADSTONE. Liberals Indignant and Conservatives Dts- gusted—The Three Cabinet Members on Whom Public Interest Is Focussed—How Matthews’ .Appointment Was Secured— Fatal Duel. Between French Officers— Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 31.-Public interest in the new Tory Cabinet focusses on three figures. First of course, comes Churchill. His appoint - ment has aroused in@ignation among the Liberals and it is seriously proposed that the Liberal party should refuse to recognize him as the leader of the house till he has apologized fully for the gross insults to Gladstone in his electoral address. Even among Conservatives, not a littie disgust is privately expressed. The Standard, however, whose leading article on Churchill exactly a year ago to-day created such a sensation, in which it deseribes him as ‘‘ineredibiy ignorant, taking boyish cole in insulting men who had been half a century in the service of the state, thinking himself witty when he was only impudent, not even ey mages | sufficient knowledge to fathom the depths his own ignorance of anything worthy the name of statesmanship, having done the Conservative rtyealmost irrepar- able injury. now describes him as an orator and wit, and declares that he pessesses de- bating power and the boundless spirit indis- ensable to a successful leader. hurchill has plédged himself in the strongest manner to the policy of im- mediate protection, therefore his appeintment to the Chancellorship of the Execheguer is doubly disgusting, more so, mdeéed, because of the appointment of Richie to the Board of Trade, which is now regarded as prohable. He also is a Protectionist of the deepest dye. In the last election in an address he reférred expressly to the unfairness of countries sénd- | ing their manufactures to England, duty free, while levying a heavy duty on Engitsh goods. THE THIRD FIGURE is Henry Matthews, Queen’s Counsel, who conducted the Crawford case against Diike with such relentiess ability. He is in many respecté@ the ablest man at the English bar. He is a Roman Catholic, with the faceof a Jesuit, is over 60, and was the co-respondent in & divorce case twenty years Bees I know for a fact that his surprising translation straight into one of the highest offices of State was done by Salisbury at Churchill’s special and urgent re- quest. Churchill declared that he must have somebody on the front Conservative bench who could be counted on, at any moment, for a rattling, effective, party speech. He person- ally guaranteed Matthews’ ability to do this. Now that the last election returnis known, it is possible to state exactly the condition of the parties in the Commons. That this is not uite so easy as may be supposed, is evident om the fact that different totals are given by almost every authority which undertakes to exhibit them. This arises from the existence of the so-called Indepen- dent, and the uncertainty concerning the re- turn to the Liberal fold of several. dissident Liberals. After cafefully going over the list, the following are the final totals: Con- servatives, 318; Liberals, 104; Parnellite, 8, Unionists, 73. THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. - learn that a change in the editorship of Fortnightly Review is now definitely decided. Escott has somewhat recovered from his very severe illness, but both in character and in- tensity. it has been such as to preclude the hope of his being able again, at least for a very long time, to charge bim self with the hard work of his old position. Maj. Arthur Griffiths, who bas conducted the review for nine mouths during Escott’s illness, not receiving the promise of the reversion of the editorship, has resigned temporary charge of it. The proprietors have now appointed Frank Harris, 90 man of little over 30 years, who has been editor fortwo years ofthe Even- ing News, the half-penny Tory evening daily, conductdd on sensational lines, He has been successfulin this, but little else is known of him. He wrote, I believe, one or twoarticles in the Radical programme which were gener- ally attributed to Chamberlain. Canon MacCall, one of Mr. Gladstone’s most intimate personal friends, has searched John Bright’s speeches on the Irish question for many years back and is about to issue a pamphietonthe subject in the form of an open letter to Bright, showing that up to the last few years Bright’s opinions were gener- ally in favor of home rule.

CROPS AND STOCK. Heavy and Timely Rains End the Long Drouth—Favorable Reports. Sr. Paul, Minn. ; July 3i1.—The special crop report to the Pioneer Press says the weather throughout the Northwest has been superb since harvest began. The bulk of the crop south of the 46th parallel will be in shock at the close of this week. Harvest has begun in Southern and Western Minnesota and Dakota as far north as the 47th parallel. Wheat cut- ting Degan around last Wednesday, and will be general along the Northern Pacific early next week. With ten days of good weather the crop of Minnesota and Dakota will be in shock. Harvesting in Northern Iowa and Wisconsin ie about over. Reports from all sections, particularly in Minnesota since Harvesting began, say the damage has been overestimated. The crop will be an uneven one. In Southern Minnesota the yield is put down as W per cent less than last year. In the Red River country the erop will be a fair average, while further north it will be 20 to 40 er cent short. Little threshing has been done. P. Smith, manager of the Northern Pacific Elevater Company at Fargo,says if the Dakota crop of 1885 was 28,000,000 the crop of 1886 should be i6,000,000. . CONDITION OF CATTLE. CHICAGO, July 31.—Dispatches from various points in the West report Wyoming cattle in excellent condition and feed plentiful, not- withstanding the 2 continued drouth. Rains are reported in Montana. No scarcity of feed has been experienced so far in the lat- ter Territory, but the cattle are devouring the range grass at a pace that promises to pro- duce a famine in the winter. For this reason a number of stock men have, it is stated, re- solved on heavy shipments east in order to rid themselves of their overplus stoek. Rains fell generally yesterday and-last night throughout lilinois, Kansas and fowato the reat encouragement of the farmers. in \finois the fall is generally reported as hav- ing comé too late to save the corn crop, which hus suffered most heavily. Southern Kansas Happy. HARPER, Kan., July 31.—Southern Kansas is again happy. days’ duration ended on the 23d with a good heavy rain, which soon soaked into the parcned earth. On the 29th another good rain fell, and this morning the heaviest rain for many months, is falling. No crops were seriously damaged, and this insures good corn. A great deal ot fall seeding will now be done. The rains have been general all over Southern and Western Kansas. Drouth Sufferers. waco, Tex., July 31.—Every day brings new arrivals here of people moving from the drouth- stricken counties in the West of Texas.

The First Birth of an American Lion at the Resort, The keepers of the wild animals at the Zoo- logical Gardens in the Fair Grounds went wiid Thursday afternoon over the discovery ofa youngster born to the American | lioness or panther, the scientific name of which is puma. The birth was not altogether unanticipated, but when the little fellow came he was received with marked attention by the keepers. The mother seemed particularly proud ‘of her offspring. which she guarded with a jealousy that forced the otherwise familiar feeder to keep a. respectful distance. She keeps her cherished child in a corner of the cage and struts around with her caudal appendage elevated at the angle of the proverbial 45 degrees. The father is a cool and collected looki gentleman-panther and manages to keep his head over the event, although the strain is plainly marked in his nervous bearing and the playfnl smile around his feline mouth. The son is a promising young lion, and as far as can be gathered, from his present rather incipient condition, will make a healthy speci- men if fed regularly. The keepers say ’ will raise him a et, and have determined to christen him ‘‘His Whisk- ers.’ The cause of the choice of this hirsute appeilation is said to lie in the fact that the eer 18 eee * — n the ong under the cub’s nose when h firet discovered. e At the latest reports the father and mother and the cub, too, were all doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. * A SUICIDE’S HUMOR, Memorandum Left by Punsley, the Brother of a Millionaire.

It you Congressmen don’t leave here as soon as you adjourn, I will cali to my aid a squad of soldiers and have every one of you driven out of the city. Office-hunting has stopped.’’ Congressman Duna Scared. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, July 31.—There was rather an amusing incident at last night’s session, which at the time bore the appearance of resulting in something serious. The business of the evening was for the consideration of bills on the private calendar. Among others was one for relief of Henrietta H.Cole of New York; the bill provides that the patent granted to Miss Cole forimprovement ein fluting machines in 1871 be referred to the Commissioner of Patents, who shall determine the same upon testimony and ff, in his judgment, the petitioner has not been compensated for her time and ingenuity in perfecting her patent, he shall have authority to extend it tor seven days from the 12th day of June, 1883, rovided the patent is not an infringement. When the bill was called up Miss Cole was in the gallery. Miss Cole looked down from the gallery with the utmost — Gey grag mg ca the fate of the bill, though at no time ha she or her friends supposed there would be the least objection to it, to consider it, or that it was necessary to get the traditional unanimous consent. This was asked for by Dr. Leibach, but objec- tion was made by Mr. Duan of Arkansas in his not overpleasant voice. Miss Cole, the occupant of the gallery, flew intoarage whieh made the woman conspicu- ous from the House floor by her frequent hisses and repeated stamping of feet on the floor and against the benches. All eves were turned on ber. She left the gallery and went hurrying down stairs to the lobby, at the rear of the Speaker. She was determined to go past the doorkeepers and into the House, saying she wanted to carve the heart out of the man who objected to her bill. The single doorkeeper on duty was anything but equal totheemergency. He had to call the assistant sergeant-at-arms to foree wer back to the corridors. The able- bodied attaches finally succeeded, though all the time Miss Cole kept saying: ae want to punish the man who thus seeks to deprive me of my rights; he is a villain and a scoundrel, and I will satisfy my vengence if I have to murder him. She talked long and loud, attracting a great deal of attention from the members who had been trying to quiet her. She was told she could send in for Mr. Dunn, and if he chose to come out she could see him. She.did so, but Mr. Dunn refused to leave his seat. A few moments later an- other card was sent in, upon which was written the following: ‘‘If * are a gen- tleman and want to aid a hard-work- ing woman, you will grant me an interview.’’ This, like the former,met with no responses. Twenty minutes had expired when she sent Mr. Dunn another message, saying if he did not withdraw the objection she would wait for him in the hall as he came out aud fill his eyes with pepper. This had the desired effect, for no sooner bad he received the last word from the indignant woman than he arose in his place and with trembling voice said he wished to withdraw his objection to the consideration of the bill. Miss Cole was at once informed of his action and it so filled her with joy that she fainted in the ladies’ reception room where she had been under police surveil- lance during the time she was worrying the Arkansas statesman. Contracting for Supplies. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.—The Secre- tary of War has received, through Delegate Gifford of Dakota, a protest against the meth- od of awarding contracts for suppliesin that section. Last year the Spearfish Milling Com- pany of Spearfish, Dak., made an offer of 80,000 pounds of flour at $2.10 a hundred, laid down ut Fort Meade. Minneapolis millers of- fered the same flour, laid down at St. Paul, for 2. The latter offer was accepted, but the Government paid $1.15 transportation to Fort Meade, which made the flour cost $3.15. This is the result of the absolute sepafation of the Commissary and Transportation Departments. The Com- missary Department does not figure on the cost of transportation, but accepts what is, on its face, the lowest offer. The Spearfish peo- ple claimed that the officers at Fort Snelling, who awarded the contract, were influenced by the Minneapolis millers, butthe Secretary of War does not think so. The contracts for the coming year are to be awarded to-day. The Adjournment Question, By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.—The prospects of adjournment before the end of next week are jvery shadowy. A congressman, who is usually right, said yesterday that Congress would not adjourn until Saturday next.

The other bills he 1 would go to the President early next week. Col. Wade's Vetoed Bin. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcu. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.—Col. Wade was made comparatively happy yesterday by the veto of his public building bill. Col. Wade would have been more happy if the President had approved the bili, but next to it 1 proval Col. Wade desired its veto. The Colonel is — confident, and with reason that he can persuade the two houses to puss the bill over the veto. This cannot be dorfe until next December, however.

The victim of the shooting was a colored man named Joe Shobey, who is in the employ of Mr, Ben McCullough, the paying teller at the State Savings Bank. The object of the man who fired the shot was clearly murder, and although Shobey was not dead at the lat est reports his death was expected at a late hour this morning. The news of the attempted assassination was spread quickly by the passengers who caime into town on the morning train, and the facts so far as could be ascertained from them and from Mr. MeCullough himself are about as follows: At 1:15 o’clock this morning the wife of Shobey was awakened by the voice of a man outside the house calling her husband by name. She awakesed him and ap. prised him of the fact and he arose and went to the door to inguire the nature of the man’s business at so untimely an hour. Searcely had he opened the door when he saw the flash of a shot gun and a second later stopped a load of shot with his body, the lea taking effect over a large part of its surface. Shobey fell in the doorway, and his wife, alarmed, hastened to his assistance. Mr. McCullough’s residence is but a few yards from Shobey’s house, and he, aroused by the report of the gun,got up and roceeded to his servant’s house where e found the man prostrated in the doorway and his wife standing over him. The two as- sisted the wounded man to his bed, and the physician who was called pronounced the wounds serious, ii not fatal, MR. M'CULLOUGH was seen this morning by areporter of the POST-DISPATCH, and said that Shobey’s ac- tions when questioned as to the cause of the attack were as mysterious as the attack itself. The man, he said, had no enemies in the world, 80 far as he knew, and could in no way explain the at- tempt upon his life. Diligent search resulted in the finding of no traces whatever of the midnight Assassin, who leit no ciew behind him y which he could be traced. Mr. McCullough says he put every question he could think of to draw Shobey out, but although the latter in- sisted upon ing he knew the man who had fired upon him and could identify him if nee- essary, his answers stopped_at that point and further pressure was useless. Shobey is a young man of 25 years of age, has a good reputation and is of a disposition not of the kind to breed enemies of the character to attempt sucha dastardly act as that of last night. There ig a chance that he may recover but his condition at present is a serious one. ABOUT TOWN. Tun Wabash nine will play the Rescues at Compton Avenue lark to- morrow morning at 10 o’ clock.

There was more strength than weakness observable, however, during the curly art of the session, and the market responded with more readiness then to bull than to bear news. This indicated that it had a good many friends, and but few who would sell short. Most of the trading was in 28 over from one month to another at 2c difference between months. There was a large amount, of August sold out and more deferred options bought in its place, and there was also some Swapping over from September to October and November. This was not a bull feature by any means, and simply meant that the longs were afraid of the cash and were willing to pay u liberal 1 to the carriers of tho stock to avoid having the actual wheat de- livered them. It was 1885 over again in this respect. Cables received trom the other side simply noted quiet or dull markets, with an absence of the late tirmness in English markets, owing to fine weather, but it was raining heavily in France. The trade generally looked for a heavy increase in the next visible, but this was in part offset by the expectation that receipts of winter wheat would show a material falling off next week. Other markets were rm, New York reported foreign houses buying there and Cudahy was bulling in Chicago, so that prices improved here he early in the duy. There was a decline from this and the early strength disappeared = altogether. Chicago led in this decline and began to talk 3,000,000 or more decrease in the visible very hard, as that was about all there was to sell on, but it was sufti- cient to weaken prices materially and the close in the home market was %@lec lower than yesterday. August sold at 7b⁵² ee to 75%c, closing at 755:c; September at Titec, closing at 77%c; Oc- tober at 80Lec to 7954¢c, clos- in at 79 bid; November at lde to aue and at close 81%c bid; May at 9lc.

Corn—The Western Union weather report this morning was, ‘‘clear and hot through- out corn elt, with rains last night.’’ Private advices from the West confirmed this and there was the usual run of damage reports, so that the market, after exhibiting some weakness early and Uc- tober selling tec lower, turned and advanced, recovering all ithad lost. There were not many country buying orders here, and the seiling orders really outnumbered them, but locally there was particular desire shown to selland shorts bought freely. From the rally noted above, there was a relapse, the market selling down gradually and steadily, finally closing H delow yesterday. The difference between August and September widened to tc premium for latter, which also gained ke on October. August had 100 bid early and late 890; September sold early at 41%c off to tze and up to 42e then declining and closing at 4lc; October at 42%c to 42e, up to 330 e, and down to 42c, closing at 26e bid.

Western desilverizers, although some reporting a larger out put, look upon the situation as very sanguine in spite of all dull rumors, and still main- tain their verdict that the consumption for balance of the year will more than likely absorb the supplies, and thus offer the metal but lightly, and refuse to consider the lower terms they are asked buyers. Desilverized corroding has been firmly beld at 67% and common at $4.61 to $4.65 during the week, and retail sales have been made atthis figure. It looks very much as though the present duliness would stay with us a few weeks longer, but we look for a reaction towards the end of August and for more liberal orders from all channels. Prices might possibly descend a little, but are more than likely to be reason- ably well maintained, unless sellers take a different stand from what indications at pres- entshow.’’ To-day a car of soft Missouri sold at $4.6242.

Unrie’s CAVE—Mikado. i. el Dll TEXAS is big and strong enough to lick Mexico, if Uncle Sam will allow her to do it. i — — u — THE Senate puts itself in opposition to debt-paying, surplus-redueing resolutions. Perhaps it thinks a national debt is a na- tional blessing. —d ä — — Sm Jonx LukBock has a dog that is learning to read. The animal is stimu- lated in his undertaking by the rumor that Senator INGALLS has a good education. —_———_ —.— — THE new British Cabinet is universally conceded to be a very weak one, but it is not believed that any of the ministers has any Pan-Eleetrio stock concealed about his person. — — — THE Rasures murder in Mexico throws some light on the manner in which Capt. EMMET CRAWFORD met his death. The explanations given by his slayers had an insufficient look at the time. — — — ALMOST anybody can safely insult the United States, but in insulting the State of Texas Mexico has waked up the wreng passenger. In a fight between Texas and Mexico, Mexico would come out much smaller than she is now. ~ — © — THE Globe-Democrat this morning pub- lishes a statement that the city street railroads are going to try a new grip and will expend $10,000 in experimenting with it. This is much less than it has cost them to maintain their old grip on the city. ——— © - ee — ONE of the Senate amendments te the Morrison resolution provides for the ex- changeof standard silver dollars and sub- sidiarycoin for all the trade dollars offered at face par to any Assistant Treasurer within six months after the approval of the act by the President. 8 — OR review of the outlook for the fall trade of St. Louis will be read with inter- est and with a lively sense of satisfaction over the promises it holds out. There is nothing vague or empty about these promises; they are based on established trade relations, and they indicate a growth and prosperity as substantial as they are gratifying. COCKRELL and Vest stood up tor the House against the Administration in every division in the Senate on the House reso- lution in regard to the surplus. Van WYCK, PLUMB, TELLER, JONES of Nevada and several other Western Republican Senators voted with the Western Demo- crats against the Senate amendments, but some of them voted for the resolution as amended. IT is reported that in certain sections of the country the Prohibitionists want to exclude the negroes from primary elec- tions on account of the hostility of the blacks to the temperance idea. It is com- mon to regard Prohibition as a moral, rather than a political movement; and the use of immoral means to promote the cause is a very glaring inconsistency. JOHN A. HENRY, a Boston Socialist, de- clares that the Chicago bomb-throwing is only a skirmish compared -with the great’ Socialistic revolution of the future. In reply to this, it may be stated that the hanging of a dozen anarchists or Socia- lists is a mere judicial skirmish compared | with what the constituted authorities can do when they get their hands in and settle down to the work. _ — _ - ROLLIN M. SQUIRE, poet and Commis- sioner of Public Works of the City of New York, has been made the object of a long list of charges and accusations, on which his removal is sought. Among other of- fences it seems that Sdumm has made some very bad appointments, butif we were torgmove all officials for that of- fence thefe would bea vaeancy in our Mayor’s o right herein St. Louis, and agrea} big vacancy inthe White House. NX IT is announced from Washington that the Central Pacific Railroad has decided to elect HENRY Vnoon to the United States Senate from California. The elec- tion takes place next week, and it is roughly estimated that votes in the Legis- lature will cost $3,500 apiece. It is one of the legends of the Pacific Coast that the Gentral Pacific Railroad owns the — - 5100, 000, 000 at the discretion of Secretary MANNING does not mean repudiation and threaten the country with ruin, why should it mean repudiation and ruin when ordered by the representatives elect of the tax-payers of this country? manding thatthe United States shall insist on the punishment ofthe Mexican officials who kidnaped Francisco Rasures from Texas and murdered him in Mexico, Gov. IRELAND admits that there is no excuse for the Texas officials who aided and abet- ted the murder, and he promises that they for their share in the affair. The statement that he has already re- voked the commission of County Judge HOFSTETTER as “extradition agent,“ taken in connection with Hor- STETTER’S and Sheriff OGLEsBy’s state- ments to Consul LINN, is suggestive of a rather irregular, queer and dangerous state of affairs with respect to extradition on that border. Texas commission extradition agents au- citizens to other Mexican officials, investigation of the case by a United States Commissioner? It would seem that the State authorities and State rangers on both sides of the line have fallen into a way of co-operating with each other in of the National authorities on either side. The natural outcome of this sort of thing appears in the statement of Sheriff OcrEs- BY that he acted under the orders of Judge HOFSTETTER, the statement of the latter that he issued the orders at the request of Sheriff OGiaspy, and the further state- ment of OGLEsBY that he helped Capt. MONPRAGON of the Coahuila State Rangers to get possession of RasvuREsS on the charge of horse-stealing, agreed on his part to turn over to OGLEs- BY a fugitive murderer then in Mexico, for whose apprehension a large reward has been offered. that cannot be tolerated. An innocent man, arrested as a horse thief, is denied a hearing by Texas officials, and his life is sold to Mexican murderers for their mere promise that they will help the Texas Sheriff to get the reward offered for the arrest of another man. should exert itself to the utmost to teach on both sides of the Rio Grande, or there property too much to the local assessors, started a competition in the matter of tax- evasion which at last involved: the State in harassing financial difficulties. der to extricate her from these difficulties her State Board has had to go to work and completely revolutionize the assessments throughout the 119 counties. well-informed people in every part of each county as to the cash value of land there- about, and comparing this testimony with and also with copies of transfers of real estate through the courts, the average cash value per acre of land in each county was carefully ascertained, and was found to foot up an aggregate of. $311,000,000 when the local assessors’ returns footed up an aggregate of only $195,000,000, or sending its own man to the United States Senate whenever an election occurs. In the face of such magnificent arrange- ments for crooked work the alleged cor- ruption of an Ohio caucus looks like a small and tame affair. — ——— — — SENATE AND SURPLUS. redemption of United States notes, shall exceed $100,000,000, has been amended and passed by the Senate in a form which not only permits the retention of a sur plus of either $100,000,000 or $120,000,000 at the Secretary’s discretion, but expressly authorizes the President, whenever in his opinion the public interests shall require it, to suspend the call of bonds as long as he may deem necessary to maintain the public credit, no matter how large a sur- plus may be in the Treasury. Passed in this form by a vote of 42 to 20, the resolution simply puts the Republican Senate in the attitude of antagonizing the Democratic House on a question of confi- dence in the fiscal policy of a Democratic Administration, the House havingresolved that the amount of surplus which may be kept locked up in the Treasury at the re- quest of Wall street and the National banks should not be left to the discretion or favoritism of the Administration, while the Senate resolves that the Secretary of the Treasury can be trusted with “a work- ing balance” of $20,000,000 in excess of the $100,000,000 balance, and that the Presi- dent can be trusted with as much more as he chooses to lock up. That is the shape in which the contro- versy between the two houses now stands. But as the Senate resolution permits the Secretary of the Treasury in his dis- cretion to reduce the surplus from $175,- 000, 000 to $100,000,000, that body has for- mally surrendered and abandoned the argument on which it opposed the House resolution, and we should not be surprised if the House rejects the Senate amend- ments.

Mr. Treasurer, was trained in a National Bank and wonld probably have been still cashier of such an institution if he had not been a too ardentand losing speculator on Wall street. He is opposed to the policy of almostthe en- tire Democratic representation in Congress, because he cannot understand why mere Con- gressmen chosen by the people should inter- tere in matters which he is accustomed to re- gard as the special business of the National Banks in and out ofthe Treasury Department. The ideas of ‘‘financiai expediency’’ and ‘‘un- impaired public credit’’ of all these ‘public officers are necessarily those of the Wall street and National Bank School. From the New York Sun. June 30, 1886, the present Administration has reduced the interest-bearing national debt by the sum of $50, 143 ,900. 1885, when the present Administration came into power, a Republican Administration had reduced the interest-bearing debt of the coun- try by the sum of $116,297 ,000. of the House of Representatives are dissatis- fied with this record, and that they should seek to improve it before next autumn’s eleo- tions? duce it at once the Treasury instead of paying off the public debt and stopping the interest? From the Knoxvule (Tenn.) Journal. near Copper Ridge. John Herrell, his father, was the father of twelve children, nine boys 2 — of whom are living, the . youngest going on 40. During the raising of these children a physician was called upon to treat but two of them. The oldest and the youngest are Baptist ministers. The oldest resides in Anderson County, the youngest has charge of a Baptist Church at ee ons of the twelve children is a member of the Baptist through Ohio in the night, with his mustache shaved off. 3 Ir is predicted that at least three of the Chi- cago anarchists will soon be attheir rope’s end. The French Republic is Imitating the Amer- ican Republic by appointing ambassadors who have the bad luck to be rejected. Ir Mr. ruden should die before 1888, there would still be found demented enthusiasts ready to nominate one of his old shirts. — THE war the authorities are waging on bay- windows in the down-town quarter will pot be extended to the portable bay- windows that are carried about town by corpulent men. Tux Standard oil situation in Ohio is still farther complicated by the fact that JohN P. ROCKEFELLER, the President of the compa- ny, is a Republican ot enormous wealth. Even this hot weather has not produced a „ possum- eared idiot’’ who wants to sell the silver in a silver dollar for 73 cents as long as the coin will buy 100 cents worth of bacon or meal. THE Prohibitionists might lighten their labors by extirpating mint from the country. There are some people who would give up strong drink but for the aromatic seductive- ness of juleps. AN old lady in Texas was once unable to tell which was the front end of an elephant. Al- most anybody would experience a similar difficulty in examining the Republican com- mittee of St. Louis. Modern Pirates. From the New York WorLD. In the current number of the Forum are two papers bearing on the general subject. One is by the Rev. George Batchelor and entitled, The Revolt of the Majority. It contains the following pregnant paragraph: ‘‘The pirate has been restrained from his usual pursuits by civilization, but he has not been reformed, and he has goneinto business. The genuine pirate of the old time was always an attractive character. He was energetic, bold, unscrupulous, restiess; an animated character who, driven back from bis natural pursuit on the high scas, finding privateering an unstable trade and the less romantic pro- fession of highwayman unprofitable, did the next best thing, hired a lawyer and went into business.’ This expresses the fact of the case exactly. The predatory instinct in man did not die out with the late pirate and highwayman, nor is it confined tothe class for whom the route to prison is now kept in working order. It actively exists in those who cheat justice by sharing their spoils with law doctors and law- makers. The development of the uses of steam, electricity and gns has furnished the civilized freebooters with wonderful oppor- tunities for levying their exactions. They make use of these agencies, which have now legal aid, to secure what does not belong to A timely illustration of how this is less than Warm. From steaming street, from stifling shop, To sail for gulfs of soda pop, And ere the dog days’ thirsty date, Flit snowwards and refrigerate; To swim in claret punch, to wade Through icy streams of lemonade, Or where the arctic surges roll Loat in the shadow of the pole; Or following some ſceberg's wake, Careless of heats that burn and bake, And lapped in cool, delightful airs. Mid walruses and polar bears, Through the Northwest passage slip, An ice-floe for our trusty ship; Within some crystal-lighted cave In frozen tides to lie and lave, Or on some mountain summit frore Through tranquil days to snooze and snore; Deep down in ocean’s oozy fens To flirt with merry mermaidens, Or through the firmament to glide Into the reservoir inside, Somewhere, somehow a cool to seek More frigid than the mugwump’s cheek Iiow sweet were these!

A MIDNIGHT MYSTERY. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING THE SHOOTING OF SOLOMON MEYER. The Family Claim the Wound Was Inflicted by a Burglar—The Pelice Keport Raises a suspicion of Suicide—Peculiar Accuracy of: Description—A Revolver Suddenly Comes to Light. A shooting that has several elements of mys- tery about it disturbed the slumbers of the residents of Preston place last night. This side street is aquiet little thoroughfare leading south from Lafayette avenue at No. 1900. On the west side of the street there are vacant lots extending from tho avenue to a long row of two-story front houses, with mansard roots, thar begin at Fo. 1735, about half way to the other street, Schild avenue. Inthe first house whose red- prick sidewall is plainly visible from Lafay- the vacant space ette avenue across resides Mr. Solomon Meyer and his family, consisting of a wife and several davalters, Messrs. Leo J. Meyer and Louis Latz. Mr. Meyer isa well preserved gentle- man just turned 60, and is so sturdily built that he would be a very unpleasant surprise in a midnight marauder’s path. Mr. Meyer was until about a year ago employed in collector Sexton’s office, but with the change of administration went out and for rome months has been employed with a Markham & Son, insurance agents, in soliciting among the Ger- man business men. He has always had a keen relish for the pleasures of life, but since leaving the Collector’s office some have noticed that he was not exactly as lively as before. How- ever, he seemed to be the zame to his family and the majority of his friends. : LAST NIGH? he andthe family retired at an early hour, and all were soon asleep. The sudden change in the weather bad made die air very soporific and the soundest slumber held down the sieeper’s eyes, and nothing was heard until just a few minutes after lo' clock, a pistol shot was heard on the lower floor fol- lowed by @ MAN’S MOAN. The male members ,of the household has- tened down-stairg anti found Mr. Meyer in a state of collapse on the floor with 1 dullet- wound in his left Side. lle was hastily picked up and carried to his bedroom on the fioor above, where physicians in a few minutes extracted the bullet. Dr. Luedeking, who was one of the attending surgeons, said the bulict entered below the seventh rib, glanced around the left side and stopped inthe muscles of the back, from which it was eatracted ina few minutes. A hopeful view of the case was taken by the physicians from the outset, and to-day their opinions have been confirmed by the steady improvement of Mr. Meyer. MR. MEYER’S STATEMENT of the way he received his wound was to the effect that in the night he heard a slight noise down-stairs as if someone was moving about, but thought nothing of it. He was about to doze o aynain, when the noise was repeated, and this time Mr. Meyer concluded something was wrong, and slipped down stairs without awakening anybody else in the house. He said he had passed down the tront stairs, along the hall, and had just entered the dining-room in the rear when he was confronted by a man. It was very dark but Mr. Meyer recognized his silent vis- RH Vis as antgro, large und burly, and grappied with him, catching him by the shoulders. The burglar's hands being tree, he made no at- tempt to shake off Mr. Meyer’s grasp or choke him into silence, but draw- ing a revolver piaced it ciose against Mr. Meyer's side and pulled the trigger. His victim’s hold relaxed, and then as Mr. Meyer sank to the floor, he saw the rear door leading outinto the back yard open, a White man, shorter than the negro, but fully as heavy, Joomed up in the darkness for © rnaoment and then both dashed from the back steps and disappeared. Although it was very dark the terrible excitement of the few moments photographed the figures of his as- Fivants so vividly upon Mr. Meyer's mind that he ts able to remember that the white man had red hair. In afew minutes the police were on hand and Sergt. Watkins and Special Policeman William Helios made an inspection of the premises. The dining-room is the room on the ground floor and opens upon a short tight of steps, which de- beend to the ground. Beneath these steps another flight descends to the basement used usakitehen. The door of this basement was secured only by a bolt and as a pane of glass had been knocked out some days beiore by the boys while plaging ball, it would have been an easy matter for one of the burglars to slip his* hand in and unbolt the door. Then passing up the basement ttairs in the interior he could reach the dining-room door, through which he could ad- mithis pal. This dining-room door was not locked, but simply bolted anda chair placed against it. it is the theory of the family tint entrance was thus effected, and that the noise of the chair falling irom the door aroused Mr. Meyer. The lot is inclosed by an unusually high board fence in which there is a gate. The police examined this lot and the fence and found NO TRACES OF ANY MARAUDERS. Areporter of the Post-DISPATCH called at the residence this morning andin company with Detectives Lawier and Desmond went through the scene of the shooting. Down- stairs things were very insecure and a window openinginto the rear basement had had its lass broken tor weeks and afforded an easicr ugress than the door. In factit looked as if any burglar, eventae wevst kind of an ama- teur, could not inmve helped gaining un easy entrance. As ttempt was made by e detectives and the reporter to see Mr. eyer, but this proved unavailing on account of the pliysicians’ pronibition. No clew was obtained by the police except Mr. Meyer's minute description, until about 7 h . m., When a revolver was sent over to the Lafayette Park Station by the fainily with the statement that it had been found by one of the young ladies. This was confirmed by the lady who told the reporter she had discovered it about 6:30 inthe back yard in the grass. The family also stated that the back dining-room door and the base- ment door were partly open. PECULIAR CLRCUMSTANCBES, Segt. Watkins’ report which was submitted at an early hour gave the plain statement of the first learned facts but later he sent in asup- plemental report which entirely changed the Opinions of the police. The Sergeant did not comment on the information he had secured nor did he raise any suspicion. He said that he and the watchman, Helm, had examined. the house immediately after the shooting, and found the dining-room and basement doors fast. He and the wateh- man went back at4:30andin the daylight ex- amined the back lot thoroughly for clews. The light was strong and suflicient at that time forthemto have seen a revolver, but they saw none and yet itis claimed one was found there a few hours later with two empty cham- bers. Sergt. Watkins is of the opinion that the revolver could not have been where it was alleged to huve been found. : THE MOST STARTLING PART- of the Sergenut’s report runs as follows: ‘George 8. Biglaad, boarding next door. states that he was looking out of his window when the shot was fred and saw nobody running away,nor heard any noise excépting the shooting. He further stutes that early inthe evening he saw Mr. Meyer walking up and down the yard, evidently in a state ot despond- eney, and when he heard the shooting he coucluded at once that Mr. Meyer * 3 2 15 * 10 rgean Urther reported that Mr. OMe er had said „ he had deen awakened Wednesday night by similar noises, and had * down and scared the intruders away. is occurrence, the Sergeant stated, had never tioned to the that one o been men- olice. The report also declared the men in No. 1735 was up and reading at the time of the shooting.

Siz Men Discharged by the Police Beard To-Day. A special meéting of the Board of Police Commissioners was held to-day. There are thirteen police stations in the city, and all of them excepting one bave had two turnkeys—making in all twenty-five turnkeys employed by the department. gio however, the unicipal Assembf pro- propriated salaries for anly nineteen turnkeys, and of course it became nec- cessary for the Board to cut down the number to that figure. It was for the purpose of de- ciding on six men to be de- meeting was held Commissioners per- their painful duty by dropping Keeshan of the Fifth District trom the pay-rolls, granting unasked-for tur- loughs to Simon Clark of the Cen- tral, Oswald Jacobs of the Second and R. B. Davis of the Fifth and pro- moting George Gavin and William Simms from turnkeys to emergency specials. Keeshan, who was dropped, never did duty as a patrolman, having been appoint- ed from citizen life to turnkey. Simon Clark of the Central District, one of the men laid off on a furlough, was formerly a Ser- geant, but after several months’ illness was reduced to patrolman, and then turnkey. George Gavin, one of the men made an emer- gency special, is the old ex-Secretary of Thomas the Board, and Wm. Simms, who was treated similarly, is the oid olficer who did duty about the Four Courts office of the Central District Sta- tion for years. While Simms and Gavin have the tithe of emergency speciais, they will really continue to perform turnkey duty, it being merely a change of title on the pay rolls. The three mento whom furloughs were granted will be reinstated as soon as vacancies occur, but should they desire to do so they can now resign and draw their $1,000 out of the relief fund. A SMALL FIRE. Child Run Over by a Wagon—North St. Louis Items. The Buck Stove and Range Company's works resumed yesterday, with a force of 500 hands. A 4-year-old son of James Brackfelter, re siding at 2663 North Fifteenth street, was run over at Fifteenth and Chambers streets by a wagon driven by Wm. Mayer. The child re- ceived only_a few slight bruises, and, as Mayer was willing to pay the physician’s bill, the parents of the child declined to prosecate. Next Thursday the St. Louis Glass Works willresume withafull force of men. it was the intention when the summer shut down took place not to open up again until next September. However, since the National Glass Blowers Union has enacted a law to open up Augustl, and only have one month's vacation instead of two us for years past, it has been decided to do so. At 10:55 this morning an alarm of fire from box 3% called out the Fire Department to Broadway and Bates street. The fire was in the warehouse of the wagon manufactory of P. ce a & Son, at Bates street and Broadway. The roof was burned and some damage was done to the joist, but the aggre- gate loss will not go over $1,000, on which there is fuH insurance. FOR THE FUND.

A correspondent writes calling attention of the Humane Society to the cruel treatment of dogs in the pound, stating that they were deprived of food and water and were killed in a brutal manner. The communication was shown to City Mar- shal Nieser, who said that the dogs were more humanly treated now than at any time pre- vious to his administration. They are enned in an inclosure that is open 4 the reeze and shielded from the stn bya roof. Three barrels of water are arranged so that they can be reached bythe dogs. They are given sufficient food.

Burgy on the THE VICE-PRESIDENT’S PUP. A Fine Reward Believed to Await the Finder of a Dog. The thieves of this city have absolutely lost all respect for personages. No one is now secure from their depredatiqgns. This morn- ing the following touching paragraph appears in the police reports: „Stolen this a. m. from Hon. James L. Blair, No. 3400 Franklin aveuue, a brown-tan dog, few black haifs on back, weight four ounds.’’ Now this ‘‘Hon. ames L lair’’ is none other than the Vice-President of the Police Board, the lord high executioner of the department. Of course it is not customary in police reports to refer to victims of robberies as „Hon.“ So-and-so, but then this is a special case in which there may bea shield for the thoughtful officer. Nothing is stated about the reward for the re- covery of the ‘‘purp,’’ but should any blue coat be so fortunate as to stumble across the animal he would expect to receive immediate promotion.

The speaker was Mise Carrie Smith, whose face is outlined in the above cut. ‘*Yes,’’ she continued, it came upon mein church, and it was not very far from Christ- mas or New Year’s day. It was in January, and about the first of the month, I know.’’ „What was it—a vision?’’ ‘*Well, no. „A blessing—a benedietion?’’ ‘‘No. An illness which proved to be St. Vitus’ Dance. Of course my father did not attach any significance tothe place where it happened, but it is a strange coineidence, nevertheless, that the sickness should com- mence while I was in chureh.’’ ‘*Tiow did it come on?’’ My limbs became numb. I felt sleepy and my tongue was tied—I found afterward that beside the St. Vitus’ Dance I had been stricken with partial paralysis of the right side. 1 COULD NOT TALK, and almost dropped down when I walked, staggering like adrunken man. I was twitch- ing and jerking all over. My mother took me to see a physician, who told me that I had St. Vitus’ dance. This doctor treated me, giving me medicine for a month. 1 gp worse, however, so fast that at the end of the month I was no longer able to go and see the doctor; he had to come and see me. My sufferings increased. tLate with great diiti- culty. y arms hung at my sides as if they did not had almost elong to 1 body.

Woll, I commenced treatment under Dr. McCoy atonce. Within one week I was considerably better. I continued to improve, and now I am entirely well.

WHEEL WHIMS. CHOICE CYCLING CHAT CAREFULLY COLLECTED. How Mr. Aaron Barked Up the Wrong yree—-The Parade’s Bright Prospects—A singular Stery—Gossip of the Road and „Club. The editor of the L. A. W. Bulletin has run foul of a St. Louis member of the League who pandies Mr. Aaron in a breezy Western way. This member some six months or more ago subscribed for the ‘‘Bi. South’’ and got but one number. Fearful of being bitten and of likewise, he wrot@ a others suffering communication to the Bulletin stating the facts over his Léague number. returned with His communication Was the following singular explanation by Mr. Aaron: The very pleasant relations existing between the Bulletin and the Bi. South make it impossible for me to publish your communi- cation. To the writer this reply seemed very much like the flowers that bloom in the spring. He wrote back that the „personal reiations pad nothing to do with the publishing of his letter over his League number. A8 4 Stock- ‘holder of the paper, whieh he claimed to be by virtue of being 4 League member, he thought his statement for — signature made him and not the N re : on- sibie, should have been published unless there were other reasons than personal relations standing back of the rejection. THE CARNIVAL PARADE. The Committee of the Illuminated Parade re now fairly ‘ — with all the questions that are eon- nected with this great meet, which promises to be the greatest cycling event the country has ever seen. The whole cycling world, especially thut portion in the West, is agog with the parade, and the buzzing of the talk concerning itis heard in every town where there are two cyclers. The committee intend sending outa vast amount or“ parade“ liter- ature setting forth the objects of the parade itself, the programme of the three days’ meet atthe sameetime, and giving a prospective view of the wheelnuren’s passage through the streets. HARD TO BELIEVE. c The Post DISPATCH called attention a few gars ago to racing on a West End street, and said no excuse could be offcred for such a dis- regard of the rights ofthe public. The ex- cuse was first given that the racing took place at such un early hour that nobody was on the street; but it turns out it was done at 6:30 a. m., and the Sporting News, in commenting on Whittaker’s alleged quarter-mile periormance of 36 1-5 at that time, said he had to dodge past trucks and wagons, showing that the day’s travel hud decidedly begun. The Spectator, in re- cording the same alleged feat, said that Fiw. Sells did some of the timing. This last statement queers the whole report of thie per- formanee, for it is not easy to believe that the Secretary of the largest club in the city, one who hes, fol- lowed the upward struggle of the wheel in St. Louis against the prejudices of the pub- lie, would sanction an action so calculated to arouse prejudice, much less give it encourage- ment by vouching for the accuracy of the time. Notes. Arthur Young has left the Frisco office. R. C. Gordon is back from his Kansas City visit. The illuminated parade occurs Friday even- ing, October 1. St. Louis has no representative at to-day’s Chicago bicycle races. Next Tuesday isthe regular monthly meet- ing night for the clubs. Messrs. Cook and Oeters go next week to Waukesha, Wis., for their surnmering. Mr. A. Moore Berry dropped in on the boys this week looking rugged after his tour urough Michigan. At last Clifford of Clarksville has come down toaf2-inch. He bad to yield to the arguments oi Thom and Yeung or lose an ear. i}. E. Belcour is stillin hard tuck, He ripped four spokes out of his new wheel this week, on the second day he had it out. The Clarksville Club was to have joined the League July 1. What wiser step than that they have decided to take is not known, \ny wheelman desirous of touring through Indiana and Ohio this summer is requested to send hisnameto W. M. Brewster, 300 Olive street. Every club member is requested to send to Mr. Brewsterthe name and address of any cycler he may Know who is nota member of the League or of a ciub. One feature of bicycling that has made it seem superior to horseback riding is the abik ity the wheelman has of leading his steed into n Car atany station when he may not feel like pedaling back. Every wheelman should remember that a census of the city’s cyclists is being taken, and should send his name and address at once toW. M. Brewster, 309 Olive street, Secretary of the Parade Committee. . Hendee is taking his training on the fine roads about Boston, and is often seen on a tandem with his sister. So says an exchange, and George’s natural bashfulness precludes the supposition that it was anybody else’s sister. Strubbs enjoyed his trip to Niagara, but missed his hike. The surprising feature of lis journey was when he called on some De- toit (Mich.) lady friends who, having read the PosT- DISPATCH, told him all about how he vet his feet on the Desoto trip. During his stay in Clarksville Arthur Young tried Crank Hill, but it was too loose and rutty und he never succeeded in reaching the top. lie did a great deal of teaching of Clifford on the hill and there convinced the Clarksville champion of the error of his ways. Burt Thom, who, with Arthur Young, spent the last two weeks at Clarksville, says the wheelmen there are talking of nothing but the parade, and us an evidence of their enthu- siasm tells how they are arranging to repre- sent the Belt Road m the illuminated proces- sion by a very ingenious design. last winter in the Globe Rink race they collid- ed; in the fifty-mile road race Hart was dis- abied by a sprained ankle; Percy couldn’t attend the Chicago races because he didn’t havea wheel, and now Hart gets sick. But Stone’s offer of fifty yards shows that he means business, and if Hart is equally com- bative they may rub wheels yet before they get to be grandfathers. The Ramblers’ run is to the Meramec by the Telegraph road. The Missouris’ will be to Nallwin, the start being taken from the club- house at 7 a. m. he rain of yesterday was scarcely heavy enough to make the roads bad, but the dust will no doubt be so much less troublesome than it has been fer weeks past that the wheelmen will not grumble now that the dust boycott has been raised. Miss L. White and brother, T, C., of Quincy, III., who were warm friends of the late Cola Stone, have presented the Ramblers’ Bicycle Club with a full-length crayon portrait of the dead favorito who is pietured standing by his well-known Wheel. The gift, which is placed at Glover & Finkenaur’s, Is all the more valua- ble because it is the production of Miss White’s skillful fingers and faithful memory. A hearty response is being made to Pa- rade Committee's call for eyollate’ names. The unattached are coming to see that the benefits of the parade will accrue to them as well as to any Other wheelman, and are nobly helping out the committee. Every wheel- man ought to understand that wheeling has — — 9 owe ot competing for public applause s other fee ‘pp great parades Hart, having been laid up all week ' laria, did not enter for to-day’s — ox.

The Only Way to Get a Square Fight—Fine Effects of Hard Rubbing-Burke's Kick Against Nolan’s Friends — Where is Tommy Warren—Jack Dempsey’s Mar- riage and Wonderful Career—Macon’s Melange. ; PHILADELPHIA, July 30.—A number of ama- teur athletes were talking about physical mat- ters ina gymnasium the other day when one observed, ‘‘I feit allttle stiff the other day and Itook a Tvrkish bath to limbermeup. My attendant was a splendid manipulater aud when I dressed I felt as fine as a fiddle and as supple as an eel. I got to thinking over the matter and do you know I have an idea that the curing by ‘laying on of hands’ that we read about in the Holy Writ was nothing more or leas than a system of mas- sage. We know that in certain kinds of diseases its effects are wonderful. I opine that it won’t do to take the language of Scrip- ture too literally.’’ His companions were not enough versed in theology to agree with him or dispute his proposition, andl own I thonght there was a good deal init. It perhaps ac- counted for a good many royal failures to cure that terrible disease known as king’s evil. The majesty that doth hedge a king’’ was supposed to exude a subtle beneficent something that was a specific forthe dreadful malady. ‘‘Conceit is as good as a physie to a fool,’’ says the old proverb, and it may be conceit cured a good many, as the Bostonese are cured by faith nowadays. * * * I talked with Arthur Chambers about the laying-on-of-hands theory of my athletic friend and he thinks there is a good deal in it. It takes work and hard work, too, said he, to take the fat off a man, but there is noth- ing that makes a man’s muscles hard and firm and springy and elastic like a good, hard hand-rubbing by a strong, healthy man. He must be a clean, healthy man or he’ll do you harm instead of good. The rubbing brings the electricity of the body tothe surface, and it is the best thing for stimulating the action of the pores thatI know of. If a man is careful of bis eat- ing and his drinking, werks enough, trains moderately twice a year, he wiil livetobea hundred, nine times out of ten.’’ You who would be centenarians would do well to stady this closely and to act on it. + * * There is a good reason for believing that John L. Sullivan and Dominick F. McCaffrey will come together this fall or winter. Anum- ber of gentlemen have expressed a desire to see them fight, provided the confest took place in private. The scheme is to sell 225 tickets at $50 dollars each to well known and responsible parties. This will give $11,25v of admission fees. The $1,250 will pay all tle ex- penses of the affair and the gate will be divided So as to give the winner 65 and the loser 35 per cent of it. ‘The tight to be with small loves, Marquis of Queensberry rules, and to e toa finish. Anaffair of the kind can be brought on if properly managed, and there is 2 reason for believing that this one will be. cUaffrey stanas ready to meet the big fellow on these terms, and he certainly has no right to ask better, especially as neither he nor his friends will be called upon to put up a dollar. Such a fight would bea corker, and would do much to revive honest pugilism, of which at pres: there is very little. There are too many third te men posing in newspapers as cham- pions and offering to fight impossible batties for more money than they or their ‘‘backers’’ ever possessed. "6 In his card challenging Peter Nolan to an- other fight, Jack Burke makes some ugly charges against the spectators who saw his last fight at Chester Park, Cincinnati. I think Jack pictures things much worse than they really were. There is no doubt that Nolan’s artisans were noisy and turbulent in their oy over the fine showing that their man was making, but lseriousiy question if the worst of them ever had the siightest intention of mobbing or shooting Jack. I think the truth of the matter is that Burke,in his eager- ness to make money, has overworked him- self. He has been fighting or _ spar- ring almost constantly since he has been in the country and if he were made of cast steel it would tell on him. Then he held Nolan too cheap and did not train a day for him. His own second is my authority for this state- ment. Nolan is astrong, powerful young fel- low and he went for Jack like a battering ram, He got onto him severely in the first two rounds and then Jack fought away and out of range to keep from being knocked out. This is the story as told me by good judges of pugil- ism who were present and saw the fight. The talk that the press of Cincinnati did not fairly report the affair is simply ridiculous. I know that there are but two of the En- glish speaking daily papers of the city at all friendly to the manager of Chester Park. The others would be only too giad of the opportunity toshow up any unfairness that might be attempted there. A gentieman living ia this city receiveda letter from him but twodays before the fight in which he said, Nolan is a good man but of coursel don’t think him a match for Burke. Charley Mitchell was very much surprised at the re- sult of the battle. What Burke, properly trained and prepared, can do with Nolan re- mains to be seen. Ishould like tosce Nolan try him again in this city. Arthur Chambers thinks so well ot him that in his opinion he would be a good match for McCaffrey. 2 * What is the matter with the little California wonder, Tommy Warren? Only a few weeks ago it was announced, with a grand flourish of trumpets, that he was to fight Tommy Dan- forth between the 25th of July and the middle of August. Part of the time has gone by, and Warren has not put in an appearance in the East. I heard last week that he was away up in Minneapolis and St. Paul fighting Col- ns. In the language of the convivial New York clubmen, ‘‘What’s the matter with ne Danforth?’’ He has plenty of friends here who think he can give Master Warren as lively ashake up as he has ever had. ‘‘Don’t you go (West) Tommy don’t go. Come here and give us a taste of your Spo Get handsome Pat to send — how you make out with Danforth. * * When Jack Dempsey was here last spring he told me that he would never marry until he was ready to leave the ring. Well, he was married last week, so I suppose that we must consider his pugilistic career atanend. Itis the most remarkable one inthe annals of the modern ring. Four years ago he had neither name nor standing init. He began as a collar and elbow wrestler at Harry Hili’s and was glad enough of a chance to make ® of a night doing a wrestling turn. Then he became an at- tache of Billy Madden's Athietic Hall in Thirteenth street, andlam told was not above carrying a glass of beer to a patron when not otherwise e When he started in to fight he developed 80 rapidly that even his warmest friends were surprised. He had licked a dozen of the best men of his weight around New York before he was thought to be of any actount whatever. Then it was ex- pected that he would lose every new match that he made. He didn’t though and all ofa sudden he found himself a nonpareil and a von- der. His hardest fight was with Jack Fogarty, who was pitted against him when but a novice — 1 ‘ ere they to meet to-mor- w I think Dempsey would find that he bad a ard dav’s work cut out fof him. Out of his forty fights Jack has contrived to save a fow thousand dollars in money. Lf he really does iveup fi iting and becomes a business fa the cel ent he will be a wise man, ind ° I hope he will not be tempted out of his reso- lution. MACON.

The True Story of the Alleged Runaway New Orleans Heiress. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New YorK, July 31.—A letter received from the Mother Superior of St. Joseph’s Convent, New Orleans, states that May Marshall, the young woman whom John Conlin, the hack- man, saved from a life of sin, as told in yes- terday’s PosT-DISPATCH, applied for and received admission to that Convent a little over a vear ago under peculiar ircumstances. May was found wandering ‘aimlessly about the streets of Baton Rouge, one sultry June night, by a policeman and she told him that she was without money or friends in astrange city. The officer advised her to have recourse to the Sisters of Mercy who never refused to succor the unfortunate. With her own consent she was conducted to this institution in Baton Rouge, and after- wards was sent to St. Joseph’s Convent, New Orleans. While domciled in the latter placeshe stated that her father, T. V. Crossman, was a wealthy man in this city and proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel. The falsehood was soon discovered, and later she admitted that her name was May Marshall, that she had relatives in the State. For the first few months she manifested a disposition to com- ply with rules of the convent and was ofa soimewhat studious turn of mind. Latterly, her conduct became such that the sisters could not stand it, and requested her aunt, Mrs. Mary Marshall of Carthage, N. Y., to send $60 to take her neice home. The money was duly forwarded and the girl placed in charge ofthe conductor ofthe train, leaving New Orleans Saturday night, July 17. The ticket cost $32 and the remaining $28 was handed to the girl to meet the expenses of her trip. The money was squandered on the trip, and when she reached the city and had the good fortune to meet honest John Conlin, she was COMPLETELY DESTITUTE OF FUNDS. Yesterday atelegram was received by the people who had taken a kindly interestin the erring girl, {rom Mr. Marshall of Carthage, N. Y., asking if they knew of the whereabouts of Madge Marshall, Areply was forwarded, and it is expected that the gentleman, who is supposed to be an uncleor cousin of the girl, will put in appearance to-day and remove her from further danger. The girl seems to have some abnormal de- fectin ber mind. She will prattle away inno- cently asachiid one moment, and the next talk in the most rational manner of her various escapes, professing repent- ance at times, and at others glorifying in her petty wickedness. She seems able to converse intelligently upon al- most any topic, and to prevaricate or tell the truth with equal facility, looking her in- quisitor allthe time full in the eye with an earnestness that wholly impresses him with her sincerity. To the Fosr- DISPATCH reporter she admitted that she had made a false state- ment when she said that her father had been engaged in business in New Orleans. She had heard of the firm of T. H. Marsball & Co., and had used that name to satisfy the curiosity of the good people who had taken her in charge, and thereby stop, she thought, all further inquiry. Her father had been en- gaged in the dry goods business in St. Louis with Mr. J. II. * — and with the exception of the difference in location, she averred that the remainder of the statement was true. Kerns, she said, still conducted business in St. Louis and it was from that city she had run away with a minstrel troupe, obtaining a position as a serio-comic singer. She did not meet with success in that line and was left to shift for herself in Baton touge, by the manager, who, with rare candor told her she was no good. Charles H. Marshall, the gentleman who tele- graphed from Carthage, asking for her where- abouts, she said, is a well-to-do brewer in that Village and her father’s nephew. She was un- aware of the fact that he was interested in her welfare and making a search for her, but manifests the greatest reluctance to accede to the proposition of making her home with him in Northern New York, as his mother, an eld- erly lady, had but recently married. The good lady with whom she is stopping regards her as an enigma which she cannot possibly explain. She is rarely beautiful,“ remarked the good woman, ‘‘witha sweet sunny tempera- ment, which occasionally becomes clouded, and then she is very bad. There is something wrong in the girl’s make-up, and I will be glad when her relatives come to claim ber. 1 was never so deceived in a girl in my life. SWEET SPRINGS, Mo.

NEw YORK, July 31.—When the leading spirits of District Asiembly No. 49, Knights of Labor, found that their red-letter call summoning a mass meeting of all the local assemblies for Saturday night in Union Square was in the morning papers, they had half a mind to recall it. They held a conference right away, and it was finally decided to have the meeting any- way, even if the effect upon the public mind Was not so startling as it would have been. A member of District Assembly No. 49 said last night that the topic of the meeting would be the maladministration of justice in the city. No permit has yet been obtained from the Park Department for the meeting, and the police have not been notified of it. A permit will be applied for this morning. The red-iet- tersummons is peremptory. It means that every member of the local assemblies is noti- fied of the meeting and requested to be pres- ent. There are at least 35,000 members in the local assemblies of No. 49, which is a mixed assembly, taking in all the trades, exeept hat- . plumbers, printers, shoe makers and car rivers.

Citizens Proffering Their Services to Raise Military Companies—Thousands Ready to March Into Mexico—Other Cases Com- ing to Light—Gen. Palacio’s Views. DALLAS, Tex., July 31.—The feeling of friendliness which had begun to exist in Texas toward Mexico has been reversed by the Cut- ting and other outrages recently brought to light to one of intense resentment, with everybody's voice for war. The young men of this and other Texas cities are quietly en- rolling themselves for military service, if need be, and a similar movement, though to a lesser extent, is going on throughout the State. The State Adjutant-General is daily receiving applications for permission to raise volunteer companies, and Capt. Sycker of the Adjutant-General’s staff states that if required he can have 10,000 men in motion within thirty days. The warlike feeling is intensified bythe recital of American citizens of outrages experienced in Mexico over which they heretofore were si- lent, at the instance of employers who feared the erfect of exposure upon their business in Mexico. In addition to the case of R. H. Flem- ing of this city, who was cast into a dungeon without cause, Mr. Seth Gage,a civil engineer, has reported that while inthe employ or the International Railroad, near Satiilo, he forced a lock in the house he had _ rented on the strength of which he was arrested on the charge of burglary atthe instance of the lo- cal Alcalde and cast into a louthseme dun- geon. He was admitted to bail the following day with the proviso that he should, likea ticket-of-leave man, report at the Alealde's office morning and evening till his trial came ou. Heso reported for ten days, each day suffering indignities, after which he was re- leased without the form of atrial. Mr. Gage is now the Secretary of the Presidio Live Stock Association and a very prominent citizen. In the event of Cutting being sent to a Mexican penitentiary it will be difficult to restrain the people of Texas from an irregular invasion of Mexico. Ger. Palacio’s Views. CHICAGO, July 31.—Gen. Vincent Reva Pala- cio, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni- potentiary from Mexico to Spain and Portu- gal, accompanied by his suite, is in the city, en route to Spain, via New York and Liver- pool. When asked by a reporter what he thought of the depredations of the Mexicans upon the Rio Grande border he replied. that such acts were not approved of by his Govern- ment. The border line between the two coun- tries always attracted the worst elements in the South, and the troubles on the Rio Grande were regarded by the Mexican Government as conflicts between individuals and bad ones at that, and such should not be dignified by being regarded as worthy of any serious differences between the two countries. His people were anxious, he said. to have the reciprocity treaty between the two countries signed and in effect. He believes that his Government will be both willing and prepared to grant further subsidies to American railway build- ers. Inthe past three years the duties re- ceived from customs, at EI Paso, had in- creased from $300,000 to over $1,000,000,and if the increase should continue proportionately, the Government would be able to grant further subsidies without any dim culty whatever. Referring further to the border troubles, Gen. Palacio said that the utterances of the press upon the south bank of the Rio Grande should not be regarded as ex- pressing the sentiment of the Mexican press and people any more than those of the press upcn the north bank ofthe river should be held as voicing the opinions of the press of Chicago and New York, and the people of the United States. The masses of his people have already learned that they must look to the United States for a natural market for both purchase and sale, and“ therefore, the most friendly relations between the two countries should be sustained, It is my opinion, he added, that there will never be a war between Mexico and the United States. The intelligent and the work ing classes of my country will never consent to it, evenif there were cause for the same.’’ This the General uttered with a marked em- phasis. ‘‘Weare too sensible not to see the utter ruin which must inevitably result from such a proceeding. We have men of iron at the head of our Government who desire nothing but the good of the country, the dis- persion of revolutionists, and its restoration to a lasting peace. There have been less rev- olutions in Mexico since the advent of Don Porfirio Diaz to the Presidential chair than ever before, and even now they have been narrowed down to the strip of land along the Rio Grande, whoseturbulent population it is almost impossible to keep within bounds.’’ ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES. John Van Beber’s Mode of Living Not Clear Enough, John Van Beber, a negro, was tried before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of being an Idler. Two policemen testified that the de- fendant had the reputation of being the tricki- est man on the Levee. He had no visibie means of support except that he kept a ‘‘craps’’ house on the Levee. They admitted that they had him up on a charge of keeping a gambling-house, but he was discharged at his reliminary examination in the Court of - Ina Correction. Thomas Estep, who — 2 — fending Van Beber, claimed that keep- ing a ‘‘craps’’ house was a _ visibie means of support whether the work be con- sidered legitimate or not. He also brought out that Van Beber had $18 on him when ar- rested, and that he a family and settled place ofabode.

PLUCKY MRS. VOSLER. She Secures a Pail of Water Under Fire from a Neighbor. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. CHANGEWATER, N. J., July 31.—Sensations are happily few and far betweenin this quiet little village. Two genuine nine days’ won- ders have set the people agog with excitement in the past hundred years, and now the third and greatest has madeits appearance. It has to do with aremarkably plucky woman and a bad and cowardly man. To-day the village is greatly excited over the report that W. 0. Babcock” had shot at Mrs. Hannah Vosler fifteen times. The Voslers and the Babcocks are neighbors and live about halfa mile below Changewater, near the line of the D., L. & W. R. R. Fora long time the Voslers and the Babcocks have not enjoved those neighborly relations which should always exist between neighbors. Asa matt@r of fact, they have been sworn enemies. Mrs. Vosler is anindustrious woman, both liked and respected by the villagers. Babcock, on the contrary, is credited with Being eu bad lot,“ and the report has it that he has been involved in scrapes . UNBEFITTING A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN. Specified, one of these scrapes was a stab In the many disputes with her neighbors Mrs. Vosler has held her own. Indeed, when no more dangerous 8 on than acrimoaious words were used, she was more than a match and routed her adver- sary. Had Babcock stuck to the wordy war- fare Mrs. Vosler would have come off victor!i- ous, but against a gun her tongue was power- less. Victor Costner owns the houses in which the rivals live. Some time ago he ran water pipes from a spring on the mountain, back of the railroad, to the houses. The water was in tended forthe use of both families. Babcock wanted to pre-empt the water claim, to which Mrs. Vosler very naturally objected. This re- newed the war more flercely than ever. Mrs. Vos ler was determined to get water from the pipes whenever she needed it, and Babcock was equally determined that she should not. The strife grew so warm -that Mrs. Vosier found much difticul@y in keeping her house- hold supplied with water, and it became necessary at times to obtain it under cover of darkness. Late Thursday night, Mrs. Vosler sent out a skirmishing party in the shape of her little boy to see if the coast was clear and whatthe chances were for successfully filling her pail. Theskirmish line returmed with a favorable report and the woman sent her daughter out. Babcock saw thé strategic moveand met the daugbter at the bone of contention. Miss Vosierretreated before the enemy until she reached the house. Mrs. Vosler was angry. She determined to settle the water question then and there, Slinging the pail on her arm she marched boldiy out, and placing the pail under the pipe turned on the stream. As it rattied on the tin bottom of the pail Babcock advanced. HE CARRIED A GUN. ‘‘Turn off that water, he commanded. Not until I’m ready,’’ was the reply. Turn it off, or I fire. „Fire away. Babcock, without further parley, opened fire upon the woman. Five times he sent a bullet whistling about her ears, but Mrs. Vosler stood her ground, and between each told her cowardly assailant what she thought of him. Babcoexk, finding his marksmanship so poor, icked up an axe and started for Mrs. Vosler. nen she turned and ran. In the race tothe house the woman was fleeter of foot than the man, and finding he could not catch her, he threw the axe at her as she was entering the door. Here again his aim was bad, and he failed to hit. The woman had retreated, but she was not vanquished. That water she was going to have, or die. After a few minutes rest she returned to the conflict. Babcock was waiting and again opened fire. Mrs. Vosler retreated. Five more shots were sent after her flyin figure, but each went wide of its intende mark. Again within the shelter of her home the woman sat downto regain breath and think. She was greatly chagrined at her de- feat and searched the house fora gun. She found none. Unarmed, she sallied forth after the water pail. She reached it before Babcock, who imagined he had wonthe day discovered her. Mrs. Vosler filled the pail with the disputed water and started for the house. Babcock saw her. For the third time he opened fire on the plucky woman, and for the third time he dropped five shots where they would not have to be digested by wert one. Mrs. Vosler carried her pail, filled wit water, in triumph to the hoyse. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Babcock. It has not yet been served, as Babcock has disap- peared. a TRYING A WEDDING PRESENT. Julius Geiling Fined for Following His Bride’s Advice. Julius Geiling was fined $10 aud costs in the First District Police Court this morning for discharging firearms. Julius, who is a cooper and has been but a short time in the country, was married Thursday evening to a young wo- man who is also a recent arrival from Germany.

This will cut off business from Mobile and New Orleans, and will take some from Savannah, for the Southern people have found out that it is not necessary for cottonto go to the seaboard to finda market. There were 2,250,000 bules con- sumed in this country last year, more than a third of the entire crop, and the same thing will happen this year. St. Louis is in the way from the fields to the milis that eat up this enormous amount of cotton. This fact is being impressed upon the minds of the South- ern people, and it is foing to increase busi- ness. think this will be one of the best years in business generally we have ever had, and the fall trade will be very good.’’ WM.

An officer of the Collier Lead and Oil Com- pany and Oollier Shot Tower Company sald: ‘*T think the prospects for a fair fall business in all lines of trade are very good. The strike troubles seem to have all been settled, and I look forward to as good fall trade as usual. I see no reason why it should not be as good as usual.’’ Have you any other reasons besides the settlement of strike troubles which lead you to have faith in the coming fall trade?’’ es, collections are very good, people pay- ing up readily. Then everything is cheap and there is no reason why people should not buy as they seem to have money. I think the out- look is good in all lines of trade.’’ Tou think business will be good in white lead, oil and shot?“ es, I anticipate a good business in all of them. Of couse our fall trade is never as large, articularly in white lead, as our spring trade, ut I think we will have a very fair fall trade.’’ Do you anticipate any, better business than usual?’’ No, Ido not. I think we will have our usual fail trade, but Ilook for no increase of business. You may put us down as anticipating a good fall business.’’ T. W. MYERS said: This year will show ‘a iarge shortage in the flaxseed crop in the Northwest and a consequent heavy reduction in the crushing at the linseed mills. The whole crop 13 will be more than 40 per cent elow the crop of 1885. The nearer we get to the harvest the greater the shortage appears. It is largely due to tong drouth in Southern Dakota and Minnesota where four-fifths of the seed is grown. The effect of this shortage will be to increase the price of oil in the market; and oils may be before many months selling at fancy prices. Speculators are buying seed in the field to hold for high prices. This will affect the fall oil trade seriously, greatly de- creasing its volume. — — — LEAD. An Excellent Trade Predicted by Mr. John Wahl. When John Wahl was asked the outlook for the pig lead trade this fall, the reply was: The prospects as outlined by the corroders or manufacturers are not very good, but I still think there will be a very fair trade. We had poor business for the first six months on ac- count of strikes and orders were much cur- tailed, so that we ought to reap the benefit of this fact this fall. It is natural that trade should be dullat this season of the year; it always is, 80 that the com - plaint of the corroders about the duliness of business is to be expected. Prices have held up remarkably well this year, how- ever, and the product of leadinthe Far West has not been up to the consumption and is not likely to be this fall, so that there should be a healthy demand. Between 8,000 and 10,000 try tons of the country about St. Louis is the best that is growa anywhere this year. The crop pros- pects m wheat are extra good, and that is m@asurably true of all grain in this section. With the best wheat in the country coming to our m the flour is bound to attract 2 large foreign trade. The millers can’t eel dolee a good business. Last year there | was a short crop of wheat in this vicinity, and other markets were benefitted. Money aid for grain seldom leaves the city in cash, but most generally goes away in goods. Then ain dealers are bound to benefit every class of traders. One man who does a prosperous business is bound to benefit his neighbors, even if he does not do go inten- dy we are beginning to feel a revival of business, old trade that left us last year is — back with the new busi- secure every year. This introductory revival is due to the wakin dan Carnival, which last your surpassed so far ine, has had its effect attracting business here in attracting peo- ie. The spring races and the preparations | or the Carnival of 1886 have advertised the { city and brought us business. Money epens in t. 6 look, in the packing trade, for larger business on these accounts and because the condition of all trade is healthier than it has been for years. Collections have been made closer and The Railroads Offer the Only Drawback to Louis Fusz, President of the Regina Milling Company, said: ‘‘The prospects for a good falltrade were never better, but we work un- der great disadvantages in St. Louis. This city is the second milling point in the world—or at least in this country, and I don’t think there is a city in Europe that mills more than we do. Yet, bythe high rate established and main- tained by the Eastern railway pool, we are re- stricted to export and Southern trade. Before the establishment of the present prohibitory rates of 58 cents to New Yurk and 68 cents to Boston from one-third to one-half of our out-put was consumed in the Eastern States.

We can’t say in this instance that the rates are maintained in the interest of Chicago, al- though the result is a benefit to that city, for the history of the market, promising a large speculation has killed the milling business there. But those mills which in Chicago do some business can, if railroad rates to the East The millers have been negotiating with the pool for some time, and the Merchants’ Ex- change is examininginto the matter—that is all I can say, ‘examining into the matter’—but what good willcome of it we cannot say. I have un idea that there is no immediate pros- pect of the reduction of that rate. It is the hardest thing to overcome in the way of rail - road charges I have ever met with. If it were reduced to say 45 cents to New York you would see a boom in milling interests. Every mill in the city could then run to the limit ot its ca- pacity without any danger and make some money. All the mills in the city are running, but they are making no money, yet the fail said: ‘‘The fall trade will be very good, I think. It is hard to’see how it could be worse than last year, and having struck bottom at last we must begin to rise. I don’t anticipate that the mills will be forced to run to the limit of their capacities, but they will have a good deal to do. Our wheat will be the best this year of any in the country. There is plenty of it, and at prices that will enable us to get our flour into Eastern markets. Last year we could not go East at all—the price of our wheat was too high.

The peopie whoare suffering in this way from drouth have no money with which in those parts trade will, of course, be dull.

It is the corn States that are suffer- those States, but the early corn is already de- enjoying as large atrade in the hardware line here as any marketinthe country. In fact St. Louis is the best hardware market in the country. Chicago don't compare with us in legitimate hardware business. I learned the business there and lived there for years and I know that they don’t come near doing the business done herein hardware. Why, the houses up there in the hardware line handle tin and tinners’ sup- — of all kinds, and other things which St. uis hardwure firms never touch. The houses here deal exciusively in legitimate hardware articles. It nas been my experience in the business that about every seven years enormous businees is done, the houses making enough money to keep them going through the five dull years which follow. All the money made by the hardware houses is made that way in a couple of years. I antici- pate a splendid trade next year, as itis the seventh year succeeding the last boom. — — tC IRON. Activity Promising Fine Business for the Autumn Already Commenced, In answer to the question ‘‘What is the outlook of the iron trade for fall?“ Mr. Blake of the Sligo Iron Company said: ‘‘There bas been a noticeable improvement already. Business bas been good during the last sixty days. This is true not only of iron but of all kinds of carriage materials and fittings. Busi- nessis considerably better thanit was this time last year, and the fall outlook is better. Prices have changed very little, except on some lines in which manufacturers have, in self-defense, gottogether and formed combi- nations on those goods. Whether or not these prices will be maintained depends on the con- tinuance of the demand. I don’t look fora boom like those of a few yearsago. The days of those booms are over. There are-too many manufacturers in the field now. Ido expecta ood business, however. There willbea good ncrease in the volume of trade, I judge.’ MR. PADDOCK There has been a general revival of business already ali along the line, an excellent prom- ise for the fall. i n DRUGS. A Substantial Increase in Trade Expected in This Line. Manager William Fitch of the Richardson Drug Company said: ‘‘Itis astonishing that trade keeps up the way it does. The pros- pects for the fallare very good. I don’t see anything that will alter them unless this dry spelicontinues. It has affected business al- ready. In Kansas where they have had rain we see the good effects already in the orders coming infrom those sections. Orders are coming in lively already from places where they have had rain. The fall trade will be as good as last year—in fact better with us, as its extent is increasing all the time. I don't mean in territory, for we now cover from British Columbia to Cen- tral America, east through Indiana aud Ohio and west tothe Hawatlian Islands. The im- rovement is not in prices either. Take, for nstance, quinine that sold for $1.75 is selling now for 50 cents an ounce. You can get over three times as much quinine now and five times as much cinchonia now than you could for the same money a year ago. As regards this demand, however, I can say that the ma- larial districts are tributary to St. Louis. The improvement so farisin the amount of trade. I think fall will bring a large improvement.“ MR. THEO. MEYER of Meyer Bros., drugs, said: ‘‘Even in his hot weather that is boiling the energy out of everybody business is good, ana I hope to see it much betterin the fall. The festivities of the fall will bring a great many people to the city and increase business. I don’t know of anything that will alter the geueral prices by that time.’ THE LEATHER TRADE. 4 An Excellent Outlook for Business in the Coming Autumn. James Bannerman of the wholesale sad- dlery firm of Meyer, Bannerman & Co. said: ‘*You can report for the saddlery trade that the prospects for the coming season are good. We are very much encouraged at the outlook. Our representatives are all on the ground and they send us satisfactory news concerning the crops in spite of the drouth.

The worst effects of those troubles are now being felt. You see the small dealers lost confidence in the power of the Government, and, of course, this lack of confidence will work a great in- -ury to trade. However, the injury to it these troubles brought about has been so generally anticipated that I think that by fall all fears will have been allayed and everything going smoothly again. predict a very fair trade from the middie of August through the en- tire fall season. It will be a better ‘trade than that of last tall, but not so good as the trade ot two years ago. The hardware trade is kindred to the iron trade is Kindred to the iron trade and follows it “agg ali its ups and downs. As soon as an improvement in the iron trade, there will bea picking up in the hardware business. There is too much pig produced in this country, and this depresses the iron and hardware trade. Of course, there may be local conditions which affect trade and make it better in one place whenever there isan over-production in the country there will be a depression in trade as a whole, although it may be better at some points than at others. Now for the past few years the hardware business has been better at St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and St. Joseph than at any other points inthe counzry.

Do you look for special development in particlar lines?’’ No, not exactly. All I can say just at present is that while we are hanging in the balance, as I said before, we are warranted in feeling any amount of hope and, to some extent, a dead certainty that we will see avery healthy trade for the opening season, if not an actually ex- tensive boom. Mr. Smith complimented the Post- DISPATCH for its enterprise in fostering the commercial interests of the city in the manner it has, and added that it was the only St. Louis newspaper which manifested an active interest in the city’s welfare from the really most important standpoint of all, namely, that of commerce.

Boogher of Rainwater, Boogher & Co. is really enthusiastic over the fall boom. Said he: My judgment tells me it’s going to be the best fall we have ever had, provided we could have a good rain in Indiana and Illinois in thirty-six hours. That's the situa- tion ina nut-shell. Large orders are coming in and so far we havesold more than twice the goods we sold last season. Maj. Rainwater and myself have been tng and are still at work, getting goods out. It’ best business season St. Louis has seen for years.’’ s by all odds the MR. A. J. GOODBAR of Goodbar, White & Co. was found sitting on the side of a box of hats awaiting shipment. He said: ‘‘Untilten days ago we had afine prospect for an immense fall boom; now the drouth is hurting us somewhat. The sections of Arkansas and Texas we do business in are yielding orders finely.’’ How does the prospect this year compare with last for a fall trade?“ asked the reporter. ‘*Considerable more goods have been sold and orders have come in very liberally, and we look for a still larger trade lateron. In fact, I have never seen as good prospects since we have been lu business. On what do you base your expectations?“ Well, on account of good crops for one thing. Last year the strike caused orders to be held back on account of our inability to ship. Our men report the markets bare of stocks and I feel confident with an immediate general rain we will have a genuine boom.“ JULIUS ROTHSCHILD of the firm of Meyberg & Rothschild Bros. ,who has charge of the traveling salesmen, says that he is verymuch encouraged at the prospects of rushing trade. From our salesinen traveling we have large orders for tall goods. The men traveling in Northern Missouri and Western Texas report bad drouths. In the hat business we always know by August 1 what our fall business will amount to, as nearly all our orders are received by that date. Yes, we have done much better this year than last and we have several good places yet to hear from. — — — — FURNITURE. Preparations Being Made for a Big Fall Trade. Mr. C. F. Parker, Sectetary and Treasurer of the Guernsey Furniture Company, said: We expecta lively trade from September 1 on. Just now we are experiencing a dull season. People fit up their homes in the fall. We are carrying a good stock now, but intend to increase it considerably. The President, Mr. Guernsey, is at present in the East buying in New York and Boston. This will show you our confidence in a lively fall trade. If wedo not have a good fall trade our judgment is badly in error. MR. F. H. KRIETEMEYER, Secretary of the Martin Lammert Furniture Company, said: We look for a good busi- ness in the fall from the South, where the cot- ton crop is good. and also from Northern Texas. The present time is dull, as usual, during the summer. Next month will be dull, Il anticipate, but business will look up in the fall. — — THE CARRIAGE TRADE. —— —- —_-_- | — The Spring Strike Making an Unusually Lively Fall Trade. Frank L. Wright of the James A. Wright & Sons Carriage Company stated that undoubt- edly the fall carriage trade promised weil. His company deals almost exclusively in fine stock and depends entirely on the trade of large cities. However, they have some country trade. He concluded by saying: ‘‘Our year commences July 1, and so far we have had a much better July thanthe same period last year, and, judging from the opening up, our tall trade will be excellent. LOUIS M’CALL of McCall & Haase: ‘‘This is our second season in our new building and compared with last year we have done better right along. Our fall trade will be good on account of the different dealers who have been in the habit of ordering everything, not being able to get their orders filled last spring, in consequence ofthe strike. Already we have a — 1 num ber of orders, on which we are wor goods to be delivered this fall.“ ing, for - — CHINA AND QUEENSWARE, Two Representatives of the Trade Speak Encouragingly of Prospects. Mr. A. G. Petersen, china and queensware, said: ‘‘Weare counting ona fair fall trade, and are now turning out alotof new stock. We have already experienced some of the good effects; for instance, we supply some of the larger hotels exclusively and have already fitted them out for the fall. There are a great many of the smaller hotels which will need new goods later in pee for the fall business. The early ably more of this trade. Prices are firm.

We have six travelling menonthe road and on their reports base our judgment. They all state that the indications are good. inducements for people to come here at that season I think we should have good business in all lines. Iam going east next month to lay ina big stock. We have already notified several of our European correspondents to duplicate their orders, some of which are on the way here now. You can see our confl- dence in the prospect when I tell you that we will putin the largest stock carried since we have been in the business. Our men goto Arizona, Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, and all through the West and Northwest. rge fall ith all the Glassware. Mr. Stephen Belcher, manager of the French Decorative Glass Company at Tenth and St. Charles, said: ‘‘Well, we have no complaints to make now even. Our present capacity is taxed. We have been working night and day, and this week we were obliged to bring on workmen from Philadelphia by telegraph. In the fall 1 expect, judging from the contracts made now, we will have more business than we can attend to. This is a pretty fair indica- tion of the general promises of prosperity. People do not turn to non-essentials and ornamentals unless they have good business prospects in view.’’ Southern Order Trade. Mr. Luke Sells of the firm of Sells & Co., of No. 1065 and 107 North Second street, was favorably impressed with the outlook for the trade of the fall of 1886. ‘‘There are some re- of bad crops,’’ said he, ‘‘but of course we cannot tel at this very things come exactly. | | come from the great drouths stave date how — — of the country. Notwithstanding this I still think that our prospects are good. You see the mass of our trade lies in the South, what we Call ‘Southern order,’ and we have reports from the South that the cotton crop will turn out well. Italldepends upon the erops and although it isa trifle early as yet to calcn- late just the extent of the fall trade, it is at least presumable that it will exceed those of last year and the year prior to it.’’ Grain Exports. Chas. F. Orthwein, grain exporter, sees ex- cellent prospects for a large business in Wheat as soon as prices on the 1886 crop become ad- justed in Europe. St. Louls wheat grades have always ranked high abroad on account of careful inspection, and are sought for by foreign buyers. He expects to see, when the corn begins to move, the very large business of last year duplicated. PREMIUMS FOR LADIES. How the Fair Association Proposes to Dis- tribute Textile Prizes. There is one’ building on the Fair Grounds that in Fair time has a special interest to the ladies. It is the Textile Department. Long before any one else,but the former, is looking forward to the Fair, fair hands are wandering through the meshes of silk and wool producing those effects in embroidery, etc., which are so mys- terious to the masculine mind. The list of premiums for this work is larger this year than it has ever been before, the Association appreciating the attractiveness of the textile exhibition.

Evans & Co., Olive street, St. Louts. „Won by Waiting is an interesting story, though by no means up to the standard of Miss Lyall’s earlier effusions. Perhaps it is asking too much of a writer to demand a sec- ond ‘‘Donovan.’’ The latter is one of those books which will leave ita mark on the age, and ‘‘We Two,’’ though hardly equal to „Donovan either in delineation of cbharac- Routes of Co., 1586 ter, power of description or pathos, is still a very fine book, the work of a master mind. Won by Waiting“ has none of these qualifications. It is an ordinary story containing a scamped and rather burried deseription of the Franeo- Prussian war and the subsequent outbreak of communism; each ineident touched on and passed as though the author were not quite sure of her facts. There are no charaeters in this book that dwell on the minds of readers, and remain with them as valued friends through life, as weil sketched char- ucters in fiction should do. Everyone who bas read ‘‘Donovan’’ will feel that they are the better forthe brief acquatntance with the hero of that work made and lost within the 450 pages of Miss Lyall’s first notable novel. There will be times in every reader's life when their minds will revert with a delicious mix ture of pain and pleasure to little Dot and her beautiful, pathetic, though agonizing, death; while anyone who has made the acy naintance of Luke Raeburn, his noble life and heroically borne martyrdom for what he believes to be the truth, will fee! that by his death they lost a friend. a mistaken friend, perhaps, and but a dream friend after all, yet still a friend. No euch feelings occupy the reader’s mind in perusing ‘‘Won by Waiting. It is oneof those books which novel-readers will be called upon to read, and having taken it up they will continue it—no, not quite tothe end, for the story ends with the conclusion of chapter XXXII., the remaining four chapters being very obvious ‘‘padding.’’ The contiritation of the story after ite natural termination pro- duces an unpleasant effect upon the reader's mind, and as they have no bearing whatever upon the thread of the tale will very probably by ‘‘skipped”’ by experienced novel readers. With the exception of the heroine the charac- ters, while all fairly well drawn and carefully delineated, are uninteresting. There is throughout the whole story that fascinating sparkie which Miss Lyall knows so well how to throw over her tales. From a less gifted author we should have pronounced it a fairly good novel, From Miss Lyail, knowing her capabilities, we cannot but judge ita very poor one, The story opensin France,in anold castie in Auvergne, France, thence it is transferred to Paris, and finally toa dean’s residence in an old English cathedral town. Esperance Bien Atmee, the heroine of the story, is u little motheriess French girl, who, with her brother, Gaspard, is left fatherless by the vicissitudes of the latest French revolu- tion. The couple move to England, where they live together for some time in poverty, until at last Esperance is adopted by Dean Collison, her maternal grandfather, who was bitterly incensed by his danghter’s marriage wtth a Frenchman, and still main- tains his displeasure. Esperance isa bright, vivacious, exceedingly well drawn little French girl, as natural as life, and indeed the only character which redeems the story from absolute mediocrity. Her devotion to her brother and her impatience at the dull, „triste“ coldheartedness of her English cousin is excellently drawn. After dome months of starvation for Gas- purd, and misery of all kinds for his sister, the Dean secures for Gaspard a situation on a Ceylon coffee plantation and thus the one happiness of Esperance’s life 18 taken from her. Shetoils assidaonsiv, how- ever, to prepare her brother's outfit and sells her beautiful hair, a somewhat hackneyed in- cident in novel writing, besides being exceed- ingly improbable. Hairdressers in the pres- ent day do not, as a rule, fall opportunely into raptures at sight of a girl’s hair, and give her £5 forthe same at the first application. This hairdresser, however, did do so. Allthis time Esperance has been growing sick and pale and up to the time when her iliness becomes an assured fact, the reader is led to suppose that it is induced entirely by her long continued suffer- ings with her cousins and her grief for her brother, coupled with overwork in preparing his outtls. She is taken fll immediately after her brother’s departure with—to.the reader’s surprise—typhoid fever, and it is only when this is thoroughly established, that someones has apparently suggested to the author that mental suffering and overwork, however long continued, cannot by any pos- sibility result in typhoid fever. So a polson- ous well is pitehforked into the story in nu single sentence, and the reader is given to understand that other members of the family, all of whom have drunk of it, will also be taken ill. They are not, however, so that the whole affair has a peculiar aspect of improbability. Some En- giish critic has suggested thatthe novelists of England shall between them employ a bar- rister to set them right when knotty points of law occur in their novels. It might also ~ be suggested e that a phy- sician would also be in order. liad Miss Lyall ascertained from competent authority what the premonitory symptoms of typhoid fever really are, she would not have provoked the smiles which a perusal of ‘‘Won by Waiting!“ will assuredly provoke from those experienced in such matters. Esperance recovers from her remarkable illness and finally marries a young. artist named Claude Magnay, who, though a very ordinary character, is attractive in some de- gree through bis lightheartedness and pleas- ant, gentlemanly conduct. The other charac- ters in the book are the dean and his daugh- ters, all of whom display individuality though they are far from pleasant. The last three or four chapters are devoted toa wholly irrele- vant accident and ite consequences, none of which have any connection whatever with the story. ; **Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements“ forms vol. LY. of the International Scientific Series, It is exceedingly statistical and scien- tifle and therefore will not be extensively patronized by ordinary readers, though per- sons interested in this branch of the subject will of course peruse it with care. Even for general readers, however, there are pages of in- N _ 2 — SI OTS Maree Geology in the Imperial College of Engineering at Tokio, Japan, and he not unnaturally, therefore, commences with a description of the houses of his adopted country, which is a land of earthquakes. He then goes on to describe the safest kind of house in an earthquake, coming st length to much the same conctusion as the conductor, who was asked which partof atrain is the safest inacollision. He dilates upon the soil on which such a house should be built, and ite style; and finally gives some directions to persons confined in ordinary houses. Chap- ter XIX. is @ ratber interesting dissertation upon the preliminaries of earthquakes by which those who fear them may know by fixed symptoms when the earth-malaria will take a chill, and escape in time. Appleton’s Hand-book of Summer Resorts re to date of issue is a work of which everPiamily should possess a copy. It con- tains a complete account of all the places where heat and drought are supposed to be easier to bear than in the crowded cities. It takes a wide range, reviewing to some extent in alphabetical order the entire continent incinding Canada. In addition to being an excellent guide for summer travel, it is not without interest as 5 book of descriptive travel. Some good writers have evidently contributed to its pages, and the fishing and hunting resorts are graphically described. The numerous illustrations are better than we usually find in such works, and in point of fact itis worth, asa book, consid- erably more than the modest sum demanded by the publisbers.

W. A. THOMPSON DISCUSSES THE UNHAPPY LOT OF A THEATRICAL MANAGER. A Brief Sketch of a Child Cornetist and a Boy Manager—How They Came to the Kickers—The Hivalry Between Misses Har- vey and Starr—Anonymeus Letters Ze- ceived by the Manager. V. A. Thompson. To took at the debonair W. A. Thompson, theatrical manager, Englishman and cornet- ist, one would hardly imagine that he achieved his success in two hemispheres, through the high cultivation and continued exercise of ‘such a high-pressure atmospheric quality as wind—but he did, nevertheless. From early infancy, little Willie let few opportunities slip by without an explosion, and soon gave ample proof of the possession of apair of abnormally developed lungs. His sweet, gentle breath overflowed in guste— into everything that touched his cherubic lips. His first attempts at melody were made in the pinafore stage of his existence, when he startied his French nurse by blowing ‘‘When the kine come hame’’ on his empty bottle. Eventuallyv—which in tbis instance means when Willie was 12 years of age—he accident- ally came in contact with a genuine old Ger- man-silver cornet, and the combination pro- duced a phenomenon. As a prodigy Willie was a success. At 16 he met some of the most prominent cornetists in the world in @ competitive biow at the Theater Royal in his native town of Sidney, Australia, carrying off the first prize. In speaking of the fneident to a Post-DIs- PATCH reporter Mr. Thompson said: Ny success upon that occasion strengthened my assurance and likewise my reputation to such u degree that in a short time Iwas concertiz- ing through Australia with Mme.Anna Bishop. Subsequently I met and joined forces with Levy. We quarreledand were soon at logger- heads and | gave a number of concerts in op- position to him, managing to bold my end up pretty well.“ Mr. Thompson, with that modesty which is characteristic of his profession, declined to discuss any further hisown truly remarkable carecras a phenomenon; but it is sufficient to say that, unlike many of the gentlemen of the same appellation who aspire to pitch curved bults, he is as yet unexploded. Mr. Thompson came to this country about three years ago and tooted his whistice at Sara- toga, finally going into the theatrical business on his on account as the manager of an opera company of which bis wife, Miss Carrie Godfrey, was the prima donna. ‘*The trials, tribulations,and dangers which beset the path of the average opera manager have been proverbial,’’ said Thompson. 1 nevel experienced real active life until my wife took sick and I tried to hold the reins over prima donnas. Phew! a leading lady singer is like a thoroughbred racchorse—you don’t know when she yoing to slip up on you the lurch. and leave you in You bring her t-to the ost, figuratively speak ing, the audience expects her to start, when allot a sudden and at the last minute——Irish Pat! The little game of peek- u boo which Catharine Lewis re with me is a fair sarople of the tricks practiced by high- priced singers upon the guileless and un- sophisticated mauager. Look at Mapleson— ruined, ruined! and by whom? Prima donnas. The old Colonel was tender-hearted and for- iving, but his patience wore out eventually; iis spirit collapsed and now, gray- haired, forsaken and heart broken he is en route to an untimely grave and all because he wasted bis time and substance in an effort to manage—not one but half a dozen prima donne. Mapleson may never have smelled the smoke of baitle, but the man who has the nerve to tackle Patti and three or four other singers, all of them way up in high C, deserves the title of Colonel. I think thutI might be a little corporal or a sergeant myself. I will say, how- ever, that Miss Dora Wiley who is at the head of my company at present is one of the exceptions tothe generality of opera singers that prove the rule. she is a perfect little lady in every respect, and I never before managed any person with whom I got along so evenly and pleasantiy.’’ ‘*Why do you have some of your artists ap- pear on alternate nights instead of permitting them to lay off a week at a time?’’ Hold up, there,” said Eddie Dunn; just let me copper his 1 That arrangement isaclever dodge to increase the size of the Cave audiences. Take for instance the case of Miss Amy Harvey aud iss Hattie starr, both prime favorites here. By playing Miss Starr on one night and Miss Harvey on another evening of the same week and inthe same opera, Thompson secures the attendance of the friends of both actresses in the same week, where otherwise one clique might stay away untilthe succeeding week, not caring to ace anyone besides the particular lady who en- grosses their attention.’’ „les, continued Manager Thompson; you would be surprised to learn of the man- ner in which audiences split up over different members of a troupe, who rank about the sume. Now, for several weeks past I have been in receipt of letters from different persons, one, in particular, who signs herself, anonymously, I presume, ‘Miss Flood, all of the same general tenor, and all expressing a decided preference for Miss Harvey Over Mise Starr, or vice versa, as the case might be. Some persons who are captivated by Miss Harvey's pleasant manner, charming and prepossessing appearance, ask me in all the varieties of expression of a stage- struck maiden ora love-sick dude to give Miss Starr a position in the rear runks and shove Miss Harvey to the foot-lighte, while others equally as completely fascinated by the sprightly iguant manner ot Miss Starr wish me to give er the best parts and elevate Miss Harvey to a seat on a high-chatrin a corner somewhere. Of course Iam delighted to observe the inter- est people take in my management and dispo- sition of the members of my company. It shows that my singers are popular and that the public are interested in then. In conclusion Mr. Thom pote paida glowing tribute to the beauty of st. Louis ladies, saying in effect that he had never before played to such good-looking femaie audiences, either on this, or the other side of the world. „They mostly rum to blondes’’ said he ‘‘and have a sweet, good-natured expression on their pretty faces, which is absent in the East- ern ladies and without which the re larity of features may excite admiration, t never affection. lwas agreeably surprised to find that none but the .

Its use is very beneficial. Examples of longevity are numerous among the Iudlans, who, from boyhood up, have used it. Cases are not infrequent of Indlaus attaining the great age of 120 years.’’ The Journal of the Royal Society of Vienna (July number. 1880.) says: It is remarkable that the Peruvian ludtaus never suffer from consumption, aud the cause of it is the use of Coca. They also never suffer from scrofulosis, skin diseases, rheumatism. headache, nor caries of the teeth.

Not ery of some lunguage that has exis turies hidden away in some far-o isiand, or distant corner of Cent put a genuine, honest, new bol manufactured in this eighth dec nineteeng century. It is the long universal language that shall ! to all languages and tongues and peoples, invented and ured by one M. Schleyer, after twenty years of hard and search and labor. The result of been given tothe world in gener French pamphlet entitled ‘% abrigee de Volapuk, by M. Aug. 1 who has also in preparation a com] mar, With vocabulary, and aiso a’ The language is now being studied t in almost every European nation, a no doubt whatever that in a genera Volapuk will be as necessary a stud man of business throughout the world as the knowledge of Germs American merchant to-day. One of the great merits of this tongue is its simplicity. All the common to varfeus races in study languages have been carefully rev as carefully avoided in the cons Volapuk. All the peculiarities of eg which render them so difticult of ae by foreigners, have also been ayo example the great diflicuity of. th language is its declensions, therefor but one declension in Voilapuk, ar the simplest. The yreat trouble to st the French language are its genders, in Volapuk all nouns of every kind, description are masculine with the ception of those especial longing to female beings such ag sister, aunts, lioness, goddess, ete. no neuter or third gender of any kin feminines are formed by the additio prefix ‘‘of”’ (meaning ‘‘she’’ in Va the masculine noun, thus: brother is sister is *‘of-blod,’’ friend is feu, when a female friend is especially de when it becomes ‘‘of-fleu.'’ The d of orthography are avoided by the sii of allowing but one sound to each pronouncing every letter in a wea word is pronounced exactly as it is and written and spelled exactly as ff nounced. Pronunciation ts simplifiq rule of invariably accentuating the ble, and all the rules of Volapuk are which no. exceptions are admissible, - Volapuk is formed on the basis of th pean languages. Therootsof each tive corresponds to the same word in German, Spanish, Russian, Enelishe and as the Volapuk adjectives, verbs verbs are all formed and formed single rule from the substantive, it ily be perceived how greatly speech ing are simplified. It is sufficient gree to learn the substantives to kn words inthe dictionary. The nam is derived from ‘‘Puk,’’ langt Vol,“ universe, literally, the universal language. A good illustration of its simplic in counting. The units 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, are bal, tel, kil, fol, lul, mal, ve zul. These are united to the tens b junction e meaning and. Thus one ten is bals“ and eleven is ‘‘balset is. ‘‘kil,’’ thirteen is balsekil,’’ **kils’’ and thirty-one and thirty **killsebal’’ and ‘‘kilsetel’’ respecti is ‘‘zul,’’ nineteen is ‘‘balsezul,’’ ‘*zuls’’ and ninety-nine is zulses numeral adjectives are formed by tion of id to the cardinal thus three third is ‘‘kilid’’ and triple takes ik id thus ‘‘kilik.’’ Two 1s tel,“ **telid’’ and double is ‘‘telik.’’ Personal pronouns form their pl all words in Volapuk by adding sto€ lar. Thus I is ‘‘ob,’’ we is obs l,“ you is ‘‘ols.’" The possessiy¥ formed by the simple method of ad the personal pronouns (just as t tinguished from three). Thus I ts, or mine is obik, Weis obs, ow is obsik. Adjectives are formed from the ' by the addition of our friend ik; thu Ham, glorious is ‘‘famik.’’ The - again formed from the adjective by 0. Thus glortously is tam noun grief is ‘‘dol,’’ the adjective g ‘*dolik,’’ and the adverb grievously The comparison of adjectives is sim# the addition of um to the compa un to the superlative, thus great is * greater ‘‘gietikum,’’ and greatest un. Adverbs capable of comp compared inthe same way; by th of umo and uno thus: Often 10 more often, ‘‘ofenumo,’’ most o uno. * We might continue thus to iust the grammar the simplicity of ve our readers were tired Sufficient given to’show the simplicity of the’ tion of the language.

VOLAPUK. BABEL’S CUBSE REMOVED FROM HUMAN SPEECH, Li Studols Volapuki? — Volapuk Penoms Sembal Milag—Alim Apenob-ov Volapuk —Binom Milag Vola. volapuk! What is Volapuk? Who is Vola- puk? What are you giving us? keep your hair on, my friends and readers. Volapuk is nothing more nor less than a new language. A brand newone. Not the disoov- ery of some language that has existed for cén- turles hidden away in some far-off South Sea island, or distant corner of Central Africa; put a genuine, honest, new-born tongue, manufactured in this eighth decade of the nineteen century. It ig the long-sought-for universal language that shall be adapted to all languages and ‘tongues and races and peoples, invented and manufact- ured by one M. Schleyer, a Swiss, atter twenty years of hard and arduous re- search and labor. The result of his toil has been given tothe world in general in a tiny French pamphlet entitled ‘‘Grammaire abrigee de Volapuk,’’ by M. Aug. Terckhoffs, who has also in preparation a complete gram- mar, with vocabulary, and also a dictionary. The language is now being studied by linguists in almost every European nation, and there is no doubt whatever that in a generation or two Volapuk will be as necessary a study for every man of business throughout the civilized world as the knowledge of German is to an American merchant to-day. One of the great merits of this new born tongue is its simplicity. All the difficulties common to various races in studying foreign languages have been carefully reviewed and as carefully avoided in the construction of Volapuk. All the peculiarities of each tongue which render them so difficult of acquirement py foreigners, have also been avoided. For example the great difijculty of the German language is its declensions, therefore there is but one declension in Volapuk, andthat of the simplest. The great trouble to students of the French language are its genders, therefore in Volapuk all nouns of every kind, sort and description are masculine with the sole ex- ception of those especially be- longing to female beings such as woman, sister, aunts, lioness, goddess, etc. There is no neuter or third gender of any kind, and all feminines are formed by the addition of the prefix ‘‘of’’ (meaning ‘‘she’’ in Volapuk) to the masculine noun, thus: brother is ‘‘blod,’’ sister is *‘of-blod,’’ friend is ‘‘fleu,’’ except when a female friend is especially designated, when it becomes ‘‘of-fleu.’’ The difficulties of orthography are avoided by the simple rule of allowing but one sound to each letter and pronouncing every letter in a word. Every word is pronounced exactly as it is written, and written and spelled exactly as it is pro- nounced. Pronunciation is simplified by the rule of invariably accentuating the final sylla- ble, and all the rules of Volapuk are rules in which no exceptions are admissible. Volapuk is formed on the basis of the Euro- pean languages. Therootsof each substan- tive corresponds to the same word in French, German, Spanish, Russian, English or Italian, and as the Volapuk adjectives, verbs and ad- verbs are all formed and formed alike bya single rule from the substantive, it will read- ily be perceived how greatly speech and writ- ing are simplified. It is sufficient in some de- gree to learn the substantives to know all the wordsinthe dictionary. The name Volapuk is derived from Puk, language, and „Vol,“ universe, literally, therefore The universal language. A good illustration of its simplicity is found in counting. The units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8 and 9, are bal, tel, kil, fol, lul, mal, vel, jol and zul. These are united to the tens by the con- junction e meaning and. Thus one is bal, ten is ‘‘bals*’ and eleven is ‘‘balsebal.’’ Three is ‘‘kil,’’ thirteen is balsekil,’’ thirty is ‘‘kils’’ and thirty-one and thirty-two are ‘‘killsebal’’ and ‘‘kilsetel’’ respectively. Nine is ‘‘zul,’’ nineteen is ‘‘balsezul,’’ ninety is ‘‘zuls’’ and ninety-nine is ‘‘zulsezul.’’ The numeral adjectives are formed bythe addi- tion of id to the cardinal thus three is ‘‘kil.’’ third is ‘‘kilid’’ and triple takes ik instead of id thus ‘‘kilik.’’ Two is ‘‘tel,’’ second is ‘*telid’’ and double is ‘‘telik.’’ 7 Personal pronouns form their plural as do | all words in Volapuk by adding s to the singu- lar. Thus I is ‘‘ob,’’ we is ‘‘obs’’; thou is ‘‘ol,’’ youis ‘‘ols.’’ The possessive case is ‘ formed by the simple method of adding ik to the personal pronouns (just as triple is dis- tinguished from three). Thus Iis ob,“ my or mine is obik, we is obs, our or ours is ‘‘obsik.*’ Adjectives are formed from the substantive by the addition of our friend ik; thus glory is fam, glorious is famik. The adverb is again formed from the adjective by the suffix % Thus gloriously is ‘‘famiko.’’ The noun grief is ‘‘dol,’’ the adjective grievous is ‘*dolik,’’ and the adverb grievously is doliko. The comparison of adjectives is simplified by the addition of um to the comparative, and un to the superlative, thus great is ‘‘glelik,’’ greater ‘‘gletikum,’’ and greatest ‘‘gletik- un.“. Adverbs capable of comparison are compared inthe same way; by the addition of umo and uno thus: Often is ofen, more often, ‘‘ofenumo,’’ most often, ‘‘ofen- uno.’’ - We might continue thus to illustrate from the grammar the simplicity of Volapuk till our readers were tired. Sufficient has been given to show the simplicity of the construc- tion of the language. We now proceed to give some examples—wée may mention that the definite article ‘‘the’’ and the partitive some are always suppressed in Volapuk. Thus ‘‘vat’’ signifies at the same time water, the water and some water. The Post-Dispatcn is the library of the people signifies in Volapuk: Pot-DISPATCH binom bukakolet*popa.

That it will ever become the language of the world, to the exclusion of ail other languages, is improbable, at all events for some centu- ries to come. People will cling to the tongue of their country and race and family, for ordinary purposes, but for business, Volapuk will be invaluable.

THE MILITARY. The Busch Zouavesin a Tight Place—The First and Second Brigades Disbanded. The Busch Zouaves are in hot water again. This time their misdeeds promise to involve them in a serious difficulty with the Adjutant- General of the State. It appears that Maj. C. D. Comfort, commanding the First Regiment, issued an order last week calling-for an inspec- tion of the guns used bythe Zoos. Thenext day Ordnance Officer Capt. H. H. Hinton inspected the arms as directed, and found that out of the original list of sixty guns furnished the Zouaves by the State twenty were missing and unaccounted for. A numberof the guns re- maining proved to be in a very bad condition— the stocks disfigured and hammers, triggers and locks gone, rendering them useless for active service. The state of the guns is ex- plained by the unusual severity of the Zouave drill, but undér the State militia law a com- pany is not permitted to drill Zouave or any tactics other than Upton’s. The twenty missing guns have been replaced by other arms obtained from other companies. The fraud was discovered through the fact that the shop numbers of the guns did not run in sequence as they should, and did not correspond to the numbers ofthe gune as originally issued to the 2 Capt. Hinton’s report created considerable stir among the officers of the other companies, who criticized the Zouaves nein? a It is reported that an attempt is being made to hush the matter up for the purpose of shielding the Zouaves, but it will be called to the attention of Gen. Jamison at an early day and a full investigation requested. The Zouaves have been yzuiity of disrespect to the military authorities of the State in an- other direction. It will be remembered that Sergt. Gleason of the Zoos was dishonorably discharged from the State service at the State encampment. Despite this fact, Capt. Roemer drilled him in the ranks as part of his command at the Armory during the past week, and it is said he will take Gleason with him to Gaiveston. THE BRIGADE DISBANDED. Adjt.-Gen. Jamison issued an order yester- day disbunding the first and second brigades as brigades. Hereaiter the reviments of the State will report direct tothe Adjutant-Gen- eral at Jefferson City. This restores Lieut.- Col. Robert Buchanan to the command of the First Regiment in place of Maj. Comfort. It is expected that the kirkwood Rifles, Battery A and the Light Cavairy will join the First Regi- ment. MILITARY GOSSIP. The detail of officers ofthe dayfor the en- suing week is as follows: Monday, Lieut. E. S. Abadie; Tuesday, Capt. C. W. Holtcamp; W etinesday, Capt. Edwin Batdorf; Thursday, Capt. J. C. Wiegand; Friday, Capt. J. H. Cay- ender. Seventy-five young men residing in tie neighbarhood of Eleventh and Benton streets have requested the Adjutant-General of the State to muster them into the State service. The Kirkwood Rifles are without a com- mander. While at the State encampment Lieut. A.C. Johnson of the Tredways filled the posi- tion of captain. At the regular meeting of the company this week Johnson was unanimously elected captain. Being an officer of the Tred- “THE GOLDEN GOOSE.” SKETCH OF AUDRAN’S LATEST AND BRIGHTEST OPERATIC WORK. The New Attraction at the Cave for Next Week—An Opera Which Has Been a Big Success in New York—Gossip About Plays and Players—Coulisse Chat. The record of the ‘‘Mikado’’ surpasses that of any other operaextant. It seems never to pail or grow old to music lovers, but always offers some fresh enjoyment in its charming melodies or its bright satire and hits. The second week of the opera at the Cave has been fully as successful as the first, and the man- agement are confident it will be popular enough to run over into next week. The work of preparing for Audran's Le Serment d' Amour, or, as the adaptation of Mr. Woodward is cailed, ‘‘The Golden Goose,’’ has been so great that the ‘‘Mikado’’ will be continued until Thursday night of next week, when the new opera will be put on. The ‘*Golden Goose“ is Audran’s latest and, it is thought by musical critics, his best work. The plot is complicated and amusing, giving ample scope for bright entertaining action. The libretto is by Louis Ordonneau. The scene of the opera is laid in a little village near Orleans, in France. Inthis village is an old chateau, where dwells a selfish Marquise whose present object is to arrange a marriage for her nephew, the Count Andre, with the hump-backed, squinting daughter of the French Ambassador tothe Court of Spain. Count Andre in boy- hood formed an attachment for Rosette, the pretty daughter of the Marquise’s game-keep- er, and returning home after five years’ study and military trainingin Paris, he renews his attentions tothe pretty peasant. The Mar- quise, who sees great advantage to herself in the ambassadorial alliance, determines to prevent the Count from marry- ing Rosette, and her schemes to that end form that such a mesalliance would result in the Count losing his estate, and influenced by this, Rosette accepts the proposai of marriage made to her by acountry innkeeper, Grivolin, who does not love her, but has asked tor her hand on account of a little inn (the Golden Goose), which is to be given by her godfatherasa marriage dowry. The Marquise plots all through the play, and her plans are only foiled by her steward, Gavandan, (the heavy comedy character), who, when drunk, discloses her schemes. By an ingenious counterpiot of disguised imper- sonation, the Marquise is eventually bailled, and the Count wins his peasant bride. Grivolin—properly the tenor role—is a fine light comedy character, trusting rather to the conception of the comedy than the ex- ecution of the musical portion tor its success- fulinterpretation. Gavandan, the principal comedy role of the opera, has two good comic songs, one of which, the cooking song, will be made topical. Musically the opera exceeds in beauty and effect any former opera of Edmond Audran. The sentimental song of Rosette, His words had such a fascination,’’ is a perfect gem of sympathetic expression. Everyone who has heard the music and has seen the opera performed has been ciarmed by it, and its successful run at two New York theaters promises 4 treat for the St. Louis people. The cast will probably be: George Olin as Count Andre, Henrv Standish as Grivolin, Win. Woifl as Gavandan, Don Young us the Marshal, Harry Roe as Belozur, Miss Dora Wiley as Rosette, Miss Amy Harvey as the Marquise and Miss Starr as Marion,thus bring- ing out the full strength of the company. There are several special features promised in the performance. —— aio TRAGEDY STARS. Candidates for the Vacancy Left by McCullough. From the New York WORLD. Already brief announcements have been made from time to time of the new stars who wilishine in the tragic firmament. The de- parture of John McCullough left a vacancy which every well-built, Roman-featured and loud-voiced leading @nan of the day deems himself particularly adapted to fil. The men who have found the means to come forward and who have been named here are among the best actors in the profession, and they are amply qualified to do the stage work that McCullough did. They will have to do more, though, to achieve that n popularity to which the late tragedian attained. Mecullough's fame was ways, Johnson declined the honor with thanks. The Rainwater Rifles on Monday evening last presented their efficient Quartermaster, Sam Crossman, with an elegant gold medal. It beurs the following inscription: ‘‘Kainwater Rifles, Company E, First Regiment, N. G. M. Presented to Sam Crossman by members of Company E for efficiency as Quartermaster- Sergeant, July 26, 1886.’’ Maj. C. D. Comfort will act as First Lieuten- ant of the Branch Guards on the Galveston trip. Can it be that the Major of the First Regiment is desirous of sharing the prize money of the Guards? The Tredway Rifles, Company I, will com- mence drilling next week for the tournament at Jacksonville, II., where they hope to re- gain their lost laurels. Will Belt of the St. Louis Postoffice depart- ment is acting as First Lieutenant for the Busch Zouaves on the Southern 2 This is his first military work since the Tredways’ victory at Louisville, Ky., in 1884, when he filled the saine position for them. Ex-Quartermaster Sergeant Walter Brindee, who has been inthe South for the past year, has returned to this city and may be found at his old haunts about the Armory. , ‘ The drill ball at the Armory will be in use nightly from this date until the latter part of September, by companies preparing for com- petitive drilis. | The Branch Guards, Busch Zouaves and a made as much by his friends as by anything he ever attempted or accomplished on the stage. His road to fortune and to glory was rose- strewn with the attentions of comrudes who were at once good fcllowsand menof influ- ence. They helped him through in a manner that surprised even himself, and it is ques- tionable if another actor with even greater powers than McCullough will ever find the same road to fame again. The principal claimants for McCullough’s place are Robert Downing, Louis James and Edmond Collier. Charles Pope is a new star to this generation, but he had his place with the generation that is either gone or going, and he is now coming forward simply to establish himself on the stage, from which he retired a great many years ago. He will play Salvini’s Gladiator, Othello, ‘‘Samson’’ and roles of this robust quality. Robert Downing wilido McCullough’s acting version of Dr. Bird's Gladiator, which he will mount spectacularly and make a feature. Collier will take Virginius, Metamora aud parts equally suited to his physique and art. James will include several robust or romantic roles. Matilda Heron’s Eccentricities. From The Theatre.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.—Official announoe- Tat Mickydoo of Titipu Has Strauss’s photographs in view. A Brutal Crime. New York, the Republicans projected a high- toned political club of ambitious proportions. They took the building at the corner of Madi- son square and Twenty-sixth street, and built for themselves the elegant Union League Club. Among other luxuries they had a little gem ofa private theater, which, on festive occasions, was used as a bail-room. Occa- sionally it was let out to amateurs of social distinction, and many remarkable pertorm- ances took place there. One of the most in- teresting in my recollection was the debut of Miss Agnes Ethel, which took lace in 69. She was a P don = of the amous Matilda Heron, and, of course, chose Camille for her entree to the stage. Asplendid audience witnessed the performance, and Miss Ethel's Camille was sincerely admired. Ma- tilda Heron’s ecventricities, however, were the chief feature of the performance, She re- ceived a complimentary call at the end of the fourth act, and made one of her extraordinary speeches. She addressed members ofthe audi- ence by name, and thanked every one of them from ‘‘the bottom of her great, sad and burst- jing heart. Then she returned behind the curtain, and, finding all the actors there, gave her ‘‘sad heart’’ relief by kissing them all round, until she came to the heavy man, when she paused, and said: ‘‘No, Imust draw the line at you, Mr. Higgins.’’ And truth to tell, poor Higgins was nota kissable man, even to the excited fancy of Matilda Heron.

Bernbhardt's Bad Temper. From the Rio (Brazil) News. There was an exciting little quarrel at the 8. Pedro Theater on the afternoon of the 22d be- tween Sarah Bernhardt and one of her sup- porters, Mme. Noirmont. The latter, it seems, wished to take away some things which Sarah gaze orders should not be permitted. This led Qa Controversy, in which Noirmont seems to have slapped Sarah’s face. Sarah and the whole company of actresses then got Noir- mont in a corner, where they gave her what a colleague calls muitos e Trepetidos castigos corporaes.’’ That means, we take it, that Noirmont got a drubbing from every woman inthe company.

From the London World. An incident of much interest arose out of Mr. Irving's visit to Oxford. In his address at the University he spoke of the last days of Ed- mund Kean, who died without a£10 note. A few days after, Mr. Irving received a letter from Mr. Robert Browning, inclosing the purse—of slightly faded green silk—found in the pocket of the great actor after his death, ‘*without a sixpence therein.“ It was given by Charles Kean to John Forster and by him to the poet, who now sends it to the actor in due succession. ‘*How can l more worthily place it, gracefully writes Mr. Browning, ‘*than in your hands, if they will do me the honor to take it, along with all respect and re- gard?’’ Coulisse Chat.

Mr. Freund’s success on the stage since he made his debut at che opening of McVicker’s Theater last July has been marked, Richard Golden, who has been delayed in his expected arrangements to form a bur- lesque company for next season, will be given a benefit at the Cave next Wednesday. He will appeur in the first act of the ‘‘Mascotte,’’ the second act of tne Mikado, and the third act of ‘‘Ollivette.’’ Mr. Golden has made a hit at the Cave and his benefit should cail out a big audience. Chevalier Antoine de Kontski will accom- pany Mme. Minnie Hauk as solo pianist on her operatic concert tour this autumn. Among the other members of her company are Mr. George Fox, for the past two years leading baritone of the Carl Kosa English Opera Company; Miss Mathilde Muellenbach, who was heard last year withthe American Opera Company; Mr. Spigaroli, the tenor, and Mr. Charles E. Pratt. Robson and Crane’s prompt copy of ‘‘Merry Wives of Windsor’’ is probably one of the oldest stage books known to the history ot the theater. It was printed by Isaac Taggard and Ed Blount, 1625. On the fly leaf is written: ‘‘i played Falistaff to-night, February 5, 1718, and did not play it well, James Quin.’’ On an- other le, ina faint, cramped hand: Given to my friend Edmund Kean by Anna Maria Garrick.’’ Gounod has completely finished the score he haslong been busy upon, and the work is destined for * pes pn in the Paris Opera in 1887. It is neither an opera nor a lyric drama, but a dramatic sketch in four acts. The libretto is taken from the history of ‘‘ Abelard and Heloise, and is entitled Maitre Pierre.’’ It contains but five roles, but there are numerous choruses. The action is prac- tically conducted ad a series of pictures, rep- resenting the principal incidents in the lives of Abelard and Heloise. — TAKE the Wabash Fast line to New York, Short line to Boston, Fast line to St. Paul, Short line to Kansas City.

When Antonio Pierre and John Graham stepped upon the stage at the People’s Thea- ter the other night the relatively small size of the latter impressed upon the minds ofjthe audience the idea that the Frenchman had al- ready won the match. While such was the case in this particular in- stance, the rule could not in every case be applied with the same fitness and it 1s a question whether Pierre would have found an opponent as easy to conquerin Jimmy Faulkner of Cincinnati. Not that Pierre would fall a victim to Faulkner’s wiles aseasily asGraham didto Pierre’s, but the latter would find that his double superiority, of great physical power and consummate skill, which served him on Wednesday night, would be lacking. Pierre may have a chance to test the youngster’s skill when he goes to Cincinnati and all his hopes, by the way, lie in that direction. His pet ambition is to make a match with Caunon and he vows it will be no hippodrome so far as he is concerned. He is disgusted with St. Louis in a monetary way and will give no more exhibitions here. 25 * Greek George explained yesterday the cause for the rumor that Graham was Sam Cannon. He said that in the course of a conversation with the real Graham on the nightof the wrestle the latter told him of a match be- tween himself and Cannon which took place about three years ago at Memphis, Graham's home. They wrestied for about half an hour, in which time the Cincinnati man threw him twice. Cannon took a liking to Graham and asked him if there was any objections to wrestling under the Memphis man’s name. Graham said no and Cannon accordingly took the name up and has used it on several oc- casions. The private match between Pierre and George will be one worth seeing, but will be denied to the paying spectators, whether private or public, who thought the pair un- worthy of patronage when the opportunity Was given. * * 5 Jake Gaudaur is just now the center of ob- servi.tion of the aquatie world, and particu- larly the center of observation in St. Louis, his home. He leaves to-night for Boston to join Hamm, his trainer, and thetwo will sail for England on August 10. In his coming trial with Beach he looks upon victory as certain. And this confidence will be the very thing to pull him through. Jake, I asked the big oarsman the other day, are you going to beat Beach?! ‘‘I think I will,’’ said he, and he smiled. ‘‘And why?’’ Because, he an- swered, I've been training up to the point at which Jean beat bim for two years. If I wasn’t sure that I could outrow him 1 never would get in a boat to row against him. When I beat Teemer J] knew that I was going to do it aud I knew I was able. I think the same now. In England the feeling is different. The St. Louis sculler is looked upon as a stranger and therefore as a loser. The friends df Beach know him and know his gieat power. They do not know Gaudaur and therefore they conclude the match is overand won. Aqueerthing about Beach, by the way, is the peculiarity in the build of his boats. His sliding seatis piaced onalevel with the gunwales of his boat, or three inches above the true gunwales, thus making his center of gravity very high. Just what advantage he gains by this arrangement is a puzzie probably to all but the champion himself. One decided disadvantage about it is the very unpleasant ‘‘wabbling’’ to which the shell would be subjected when rowing in rough water. * 1 * The agony of the two weeks’ base ball vaca- tion St. Louis has had is now happily over and it will be most refreshing news to the crank to know that the Browns and the Metropolitans will open a series of three games at Sports- man’s Park on next Tuesday. While away the boys have not been playing up totheir usual style and their friends will expect something rare from them on their return. The Athletics follow the Mets, who will be replaced by Balti- more, with Brooklyn in sight. — a LIGHTS OF THE DIAMOND, Some of Them Glimmered Out and Others as Bright as Ever. A stroller through the club-house of the National League at Jefferson and Cass ave- nues can regale his eyesight with a veritable feast. The more so should the strolier be one of those old-timers who remember the faces and the records of the players on the dia- mond year after year. Upon the walls of the club-house hang the photographs of diamond lights who have distinguished themselves for years past. In groups and alone are the faces of players, some who have long since joined the majority, others having retired by reason of old age and the days of their usefulness having passed away. In gazing upon them, to the old timer, what afield of reminiscence is ewe richin incident, exploit and narra- ve. Of the group ofthe old St. Louis Browns, there rises before the spectator the once fa- miliar form of Tom, alias ‘‘Reddy,’’ Miller, now dead, who was the pet and the pride of local adinirers of the game, in the ’76 palmy days of the League. It was he who caught the whizzing rifle balls of the old legitimate itch.’’ George Washington Brad- ey who was at that time at the zenith of his then glorious eareer. To the left of Bradley stands old George Dehiman, who covered first base in bis inimitable style. He, too, has long since passed away. Ed Outhbert stands gracefully upon the foreground of the group, his fine form looming up as finely in photographic colors as it was wont to do in the left field gar- 22 „ 48 @ tender of which he was once without a peer. Joe Blong, Denny Mack and Joe Battin were atriowho were great favorites on the team. They are there also with Jack Chapman, who uated from player to manager and held the reins of the Buffalo Club for several sea- sons. He is now managing an Eastern team. Some of these counterfeit presentments are faded and old, and their once brilliant colors are fast fading under the strong influence of the light. When they stood before the camera they united in a bond of common interest, which has long since been severed, and to- day they are scattered over the vens, Oharles Maniove, George Deasiey and John Ake stand out plainly. Look up the list of players in the Nati and the American Association, and how many out of the lotcan be found? Brooklyn has one of the Altoona Club now, George Smith. Near by hang the Union Pacifics who were under the management of Charies Lord in the seasons of 1883 and 188%. Over th shoulders of catcher Bundle ere the McKehn, Visner and alsh. Also secon baseman Whitney, a brother of the great „Grasshopper Jim,’’ 2 2 are they all now, and what are they doing 2 a The gems of the collection, however, are the old Buffalo Club of 1882 and the Athletics of 1883. In the former the familiar faces of the „„Big Fovr’’ can be distinguished readily, as bite as the * form and the jolly visage of Galvin, the only really phenomenal pitcher the country has ever produced. Kichardson, Rowe, Brouthers and saintly Deacon White form the center of the ann and Daily, the one-armed pitcher who puzzied the League batters fora year or so, isthere,too. Davey Force, the chunky and muscular shortstop, must not be left out nor can Tom Dolan, the catcher, be neglected altogether. Some of them are changed it is true, but they are all there nevertheless. Daily has crepe’ out ot sight since he dropped out of the Washing- tons and Do is now doing fine work for Billy Barnie. Galvin is the mainstay of Hustler Horace’s team and, although he is not pitchin the ball he did when the picture at the Union Club- house was taken he still may lay claim to the first line. The „Bla Four. as everybody knows, were trans- ferred over to Detroit when the Buffalo club went to pieces, and the balance of the team, some three or four players of the lesser mag- nitude, were scattered far and wide. Stovey, Matthews, Lou Knight, Fred Carey and G. W. Bradley are the gems in the Ath- letic aggregation of 1888, the year the Associ- ation pennant floated over the spires of the Quaker City. The other members of the team were Buchall, Biakiston, Crowley, Monahan, Rowen and Stricker, none of whom are now engaged with any club in either of the two great associations in the country. Of the photos lately taken which adorn the walls of the Maroons headquarters are those of the Chicago champions of 1885, the same as those ofthe present yeer with Sutcliffe and Corcoran out, and also the pictures of the St. Louis Unions, champions of the Union As- sociation of 1884. They are all weil known in St. Louis and their names and faces are famil- jar to all. Of the players inthe Unions of 1884 Dunlap, Boyle aud Quinn are the only ones remaining in the St. uis League team. looking over the list and noting the names ofthose who have been dropped from the more important sphere inthe world of base ball one is struck bythe fact that the more brilliant his career at the beginning the longer will the player last. Such at least seems to have been the rule in the older days,and there is no reason to believe that the same rule does not obtain to-day. STYLES IN SLIDING. The Side and Full Slide—The Old Fash- , loned Method. Give me a team of great base runners and I'll win games without makingahit.’’ This sage and very deep remark is credited to Harry Wright, tbe clever manager of the Philadelphia Base Ball Club and is very prob- ably an explanation of some of the rather amusing, yet nobler efforts which the Phillies have been making this year to add to their qualities as a base- running team. That they are base runners with a vengeance, or to say the least, are trying to be base runners with a vengeance is very apparept to any one who has watched the Phiilies during their visits this season to St. Louis. This was more par- ticularly observable on the occasion of their first visit here, when they drew large crowds atthe Union Park. Crowds who went pur- posely to see little Arthur Irwin carry down a huge pair of buckskin gloves to Andrews or to Fogarty, which ever of the two might happen to be stationed at first base, and then to bear him yell ‘‘slide!’’ tilt his little throat would become a matter of deep concern to those about him. The old-fashioned method. But although he might have furnished an in- detinite amount of fun for the boys and put up with avast amount of guy ing, little Arthur knew what he was about, and knew also that he was about it for a purpose, and an excellent purpose, too. But when he gets interested in the question of base running, and particularly of sliding, his attention is attracted like the needle to the stone, in, the direc. tion of the headquarters on Grand avenue, where the boss club are wont to con- gregate. There are very few things in the way of playing bail in which the Browns do not ex- cel, but Im constrained to say that if there is any one thing more than another in which they do excel, that one thing is base-running. I wouldn't care particularly to be accused of being an enthusiast on the Browns, but when superior merit torces itself on one, one can scarcely atford to ignore it altogether. It is not only fleetness of foot and a knack of diving between the legs of the baseman that makes a successful base-runner. It is also good judgment, ability to lead the pitcher and the catcher on into injudicious plays; the faculty of wrasping at u glance complicated situations and arguing out the line of play necessary to be undergone and taking ad- vantage thereof. By way of illustration I can think of none better than little Nic and Kemmier. The two ure @ trifle antithetical, it is true, but the very contrast in volves the oint. Nicol is a small man, a speedy runner, a good slider and an excellent judge. Kemmler is none of these. I remember not long ago Kemmler ran downtothirdon a caught fly to center field. The catch was a difficult one, and the fielder had hard work returning it to the dia- mond, but it | to third betore Rudolph and he was tagged out. He killed two runs and lostthe game by his lack of base-running qualities. Comiskey gazed at him a moment with suppressed rage and then grunted: Don't ou run downto third again unless the ball s knocked over the fence.’’ This was very cruel of Comiskey, for to hold Kemupler re- sponsible in anything pertaining to expert buse- running would be foolish. No matter; Kemmler's place is not among great base- runners, and his name was only used to show a contrast. Little Nic’s side slide. Asa slider, little Nic is doubtless without a peer in the country. To an old style ball layer, one who has grown up with the game, ike Joe Start for instance, Nicolis a sad blow. To think of a baseman having both of his big hands tightaround the ball some seconds be- fore the runner arrives at the base, and just as he is about to put him out, thereis a leap in the air, a whirr, a grating sound, anda white face peers up through a cloud of dust asking judgment from the umpire. This sort of thing is enough to discourage the best of them. And it does. When it was first introduced there was a loud, long and indignant kick that ended in smoke, and the boys kept on sliding just the same. Little Nic is an artistic siider and goes forward as though he were shot out ofa catapult instead of im- genes by a motion caused by his own skill. ith his right band forward totouch the bag at the earliest possible moment, his left tast a that side, he skims alongthe earth as though it were a sheet of ice instead of a hard, sandy soil. Latham, Welch, Robinson and Caruthers are all four sliders, and trained in the same school with Nicol. Comiskey often assays a desperate slide, but as often backs down just as he is about to take the leap and works his way in with feet. Philadelphia's patent. The less daring, as well as the less effective slide is a sort of wedge movement with the feet forward and the body at an angle of about 45 degrees and is altogether indescribable. It is not nearly so picturesque as the head slide can only used on long throws, head-first movement is «available even when the ball is in the hands of a man buta few feet distant from the basemen.

Some interesting changes have been wrought inthe Association record since this day a week ago. The big lead of the Browns has been increased from ten to twelve per cent, and they, as before, are practically out of the race. The four next clubs, though, Brook- lyn, Louisville, Pittsburg and Cincinnati, are making noble efforts to secure second place, although Brooklyn has a slight advantage over the rest. That club has replaced the Pittsburgs at second, the latter has dropped to fourth and!Louisville maintains its position third. Pressing closely to all of these Cincin- nati comes in with its bid in the fifty per cents. The most amusing develophent however, is that of the tying of Baltimore and the Metro- politans for last place. The fight for the tail end of the ladder promises to be almost as ex- citing as for the first. Inthe League the situation is unchanged, Detroit still leading close pressed by Chicago and New York. Below will be found the ta- bles.

Phillips says that Pittsburg has cleared all expenses, and everything that now comes in is clear profit. Kilroy is said to have developed a most amazing drop ball.

We do not only think the St. Louis Browns will win the Association pennant, but wethink the club is out of its class and should be in the League, where the players would have a chance to display their abilities against such teams as the New Yorks, Chicagos, Detroits. Philadeiphias and Bostons. There is little doubt but that the Browns would hold their own against these clubs. It would be a great benefit to both organizations to have the two St. Louis clubs exchange places. The Maroons would be able to hold their own in the Associ- ation, asthe Browns would in the League.— {Sporting World. Shall we ever see the last of the paragraph that is now going the rounds to the effect that two of the League clubs are on the verge of disbandment? What nonsense Kansas Cit and Washington are the clubs hinted at. Bot will finish the season. Kansas City will lose some money and Washington will probably come out near even, and both teams will in all mirage sa bein the fleld again next year. A League franchise is certainly valuable enough to hold on to, and clubs cannot be fired easily nowadays, under the precedent vet in the famous Metropolitan suit. Even if some money is lost there is a chance of getting it back again any year.—[Kansas City Ex- change.] ‘‘Me,too,’’ adds Henry V. Lucas. Of John F. Driscoll, the pitcher, who died of consumption at Lowell, Mass., recently, the Louisville Post says: He was in the Louis- ville Club, alternating with Hecker, in 1533. In the fail of 1882 he performed the most won- derful pitching feat ever seen in Louisville. He was with the Pittsburgs, who came here to play sume exhibition games after the close of the regular season. In one of these games Driscoll not only shut the Louisvilles out, but did not allow a single man to reach first base. The Louisvilles did not make asingle hit, nor get a base on balls, nor did the Pittsburgs make an error. Only twenty-seven Louis- villians went to the bat in nine — The game has probably never been equalled, cer- tainly never excelied.’’ Amateur Notes. The Advance Club goes to 0 Fallon, III., to- morrow, to play the Anstedts, the crack club of that place. An interesting game of ball will be played Sunday morning at Union Park between the M. A. A. C. and the Virginia Brights. Game called at 9a. m. Admission free. The Arctics defeated the Laclede Car Manu- facturing nine by a score of 2 to 10. The features of the game were the heavy batting of the Arctics and the fine base play of Me Carthy and Gross of the Lacledes. — — — SHAKING UP THE UMPIBES. The National League Staff Reorganizéed— They All Go but Gafiney. From the Philadelphia Times. There has been a complete reorganization of the staff of National League umpires and Gaffney is the only umpire of those appointed at the beginning of the season who holds over. The new appointments are Charles Fulmer of thiscity, W. S. Wikoff of Princeton, N. J., and Joe Ellick of Kansas City, Mo. Fulmer is an old, experienced ball player. He played with the Philadelphia and Cincinnati clubs,and last season managed the Portland (Me.) Club. Mr. Fulmer is Constable of the First Ward and is also a candidate tor the nomination of Police Magistrate. Fulmer umpired three games in Washington for the New York Club and gave entire satisfaction. He umpired the Philadelphia-Kansas City game yesterday and his judgment on balls and strikes was particu- larly commendabie. William S. Wikoff isa resident of Princeton, K. J., and has been a member of the Easte League staff of um- pires last seasonandthis. He first gained a reputation with the American College Associa- tion, and his work is highly spoken of. Like Fuliner, Joe Ellick is 4 veteran ball-tosser. He has umpired several League games in Kan- sas City this season and was highly recom- mended by the Kansas City, Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis Clubs. Ex-Umpires WesleyCurry and Connelly were both at Recreation Park yesterday. Connelly had donned his uniform to umpire the game when Manager Wright handed him his letter of dismissal from President Young. It wus an entire and unwelcome surprise to Mr. Con- nelly, who could assign no cause for his sum- mary dismissal. Wesley Curry of this city sent his resignation to President Young some time ago, but it was not accepted until yester- day. Sickness in his family and neglect of his business prompted his resignation. It is not certain that Mr. Wikortf will accept the post- tion of umpire, and in that event Wm. Carlin, ex-umpire of the American Association, of this city, or Grace Pierce, the ball player, who has been umpiring in New York, wiil be appointed. Alderman Eagar of Boston is to be dropped from the list entirely. — THE “QUEEN OF THE TURF.” Her Owner Denies Emphatically that She Has Broken Down. The Saratoga dispatch that Miss Woodford had broken down is denied by Phil Dwyer. Another dispatch of July 28 from the same place says: The announcement ‘‘wired’’ from here on Tuesday night that Miss Wood- ford had broken down is not exactly true. The mare is still galloping and is about as good as she was on Saturday when she won the First Stakes. At least so Mr. Phil Dwyer says, supplemented witha hope that she will con- tinue in training for some time, in which re- spect there is ageneral hope that the mare will stand a preparation for a race to be run at the inaugural event of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, It appears that the Dwyer Brothers bave been expecting forsome timethatthe mare’s fore legs would go, and Mr. PF. H. Dwyer so ex- ressed himself to Mr. Wheatly. Miss Wood- ord has been a good servant to the Dwyers, she first carrying their colors in the Ladies Stakes ut Jerome Park in June, 1883. As a two- year-old she was raced by her breeders, Bow- en & Co., of — A for whom she won five out of eight races. Her full record up to date is as follows, the value of all the stakes won being as given in ‘*Goodwin’s Turf Guide: FFF 281 Bies! Bis AGE AND YEAR. :* 23282 5 ag + 8 8 Two years old, 1882. 8 5 1 2 6.

Miss Woodford also won two matches, viz., with Drake Carter at two miles anda half, at Sheepshead Bay, on September 18,1884 and with Freeland ata mile and a quarter at Monmouth Park on August 28, 1885. One ofthe unplaced occasions was for the Monufbutu stake, run at Monmouth Park on August 25, 1883, when Miss Woodford set the pace for her stable companion, George Kinney, to win which he did, beating Eole, Iroquois an Monitor. The stakes which Miss Woodford has in turn won are asfollows: | Two Years Old.—The Ladies’ at Chicago, the Spinaway and Misses’ at Saratoga, the Filly and the Colt and Filly at Lexington. Three Years Old.—The Ladies’ at Jerome the Mermaid at Sheepshead Bay, the Oaks at Monmouth, the Alabama and Pocahontas at 22 West End Hotel Stakes at Mon- mouth, the Great Kastern Handicap at Sheeps- the Lo ion 8 es ” Louisville, the 0 Rye ars Old.— The Coney Isiand Stakes 8 ntown and , th n, Stakes at M Stakes at Sheepsiiead. m we Long Five ome Old.—The Coney Island Stakes at Freehold Stakes 8 Mon! outs and the Long Island es at pet : Six Years Old. the Eclipse at St. a story Coney Island Cup at Sheepshead, the Ocean | Stakes and Cup at Monmouth and the First Stake at Saratoga.

A beautiful animal nodded a welcome to its master as he stepped up to her stall and said tome: This is Miss Woodford, in many re- spects the most phenomenal race-horse I ever knew of. The fact is, she is the only one I have ever known that was just as good at 6 ears old as at 3. It is really singular how she olds her power.“ The splendid mare came up to her master, rubbed her nose against him lovingly, and there was such a beam of intelligence in her eye that it almost seemed as though she under- stood the praise her owner was giving her and the depth of the admiration he has for her. As he pues her long and beautifully arched neck, Mr. Phil Dwyer said: ‘-She has won us $150,000 in stakes and purses —what is known in racing pariance as public money. No race-hborse in this country has ever yet equalied her performances—that is, been beaten so few times in an equal number of starts. a — WINNING $100,000. How the Washington Park Book-Makers Were Fooled by an Old Horse. A Chicago man telegraphs as follows about the race in which Jonn Sullivan got away with the book-makers: The easy manner in which Mr. John H. Fenton got away with a cool hundred thousand dollars from the book-men at Washington Park a week ago yesterday has furnished the theme for prolific conversation on the track this week. That there was acol- ored man in the wood-shed everybody agrees, but just how he operated is the un- discovered question. r. Fenton’s story— he is, by the by, meres a down-town dealer in horse supplies, and hitherto unknown to fame—is, to say the least, highly entertain- ing. He had some friends. They had lost heavily 1 — the turf since the meeting opened. They were in despair. Visions of bursted pocket-books and blighted reputa- tions flitted before their eyes, sleeping and waking. A guardian angei directed them to Fenton. They obeyed. The emptied what little remained in their wal- lets upon his desk and implored him, in the name of all they held near and dear, to take it and restore their waning fortunes. Mr. Fen- ton, if be is to be believed, has not employed a total ef a hundred dollars in betting pur- poses dying his forty years of life. ‘et, novice as he was, he was yet, like Barkis, ‘*willin’.’’ He took the contents of the wal- lets and he swore, with his hand resting sol- emuly upon the neck of the wooden horse that adorns his store, that he would save his friends or lose the balance of their available assets in the attempt. This done, he hied himselfto the park and consulted the programme. For the dashofa mile and a quarter he selected John Sullivan; forthe mile and one-eighth, Punker. Both are owned by J. S. Campbell. The fact that John Sullivan was an old horse, that he was a hundred to one chance on the books, and that Leman, who had distanced him the day be- fore, was entered for the race, didn’t discon- cert him a particle. His horoscope told him that John Sullivan would win, and that was sufficient. Gathering around hima small army of run- ners, he supplie@ them with the cash neces- sary to bet on his favorite. Then he made a bee-line to the telegraph office, and, through the medium of cipher messages, instructed a number of peuple in Philadelphia, New York, Boston and elsewhere to bet on John S. and Punka. Doubtless, those who were thus ad- vised thought they were dealing witha fool, but the outcome showed that Fenton hasa very level head and is entitied to the cogno- mon of Wizard ofthe Turf. The broken deen Sullivan came in ahalflength ahead of Leman, Punka defeated Buchanan by a nose. Mr. Fenton's friends bagged close on a cool hun- dred thousahid, the book makers were dis- tracted and the general public mystified. Looks queer, doesn’t it? „J was sure the horses would win, said Fenton yesterday, ‘‘and kept men betting up to the last moment. I didn’t beta cent ot my own money, but merely consented to do what 1 = to help my friends out of their bad luck.’’ All of which the betting fraternity receives with afinger laid across the nose and a sug- gestive contraction of the left eye. A story is told of an innocent-looking, mild- mannered young fellow, whose grandmother is a pious millionaire, buying a ticket when Sullivan was selling at 25 tol. The crowd around began to guy him, and the fresh book maker, who hails from New Orleans, éntered into the spirit of the fun. In quick succes- sion he sang out: Thirty for one on Sulli- van, forty for one, fifty, sixty, seventy, mee vl uinety, one hundred. Each time the mild-mannered youth took him at his word, untilhe had invested $14. That investment netted him $750, and the picture that book- maker presented when the tickets were handed in was a caution. _ — TO DEFEND AMERICA’S CUP. Preparations for the Great Race—Criticisms of the English Press. From the New York Tribune. The comparative inactivity in yachting mat- ters just now is only the lull before the storm, for there isa great deal of jnterest and actual préparations being made for the coming in- ternational yacht contest in September, for the coveted America’s cup. The owners of the Puritan, Priscilla, Mayflower and Atlantic are bending their nautical efforts, each to make his boat superior to the other, in hopes of proving superior points in sailing and handling, so as to be selected for the honor of defending the prize against the English cutter Galatea, which is hourly expected to be sighted off Marblehead. It ig still an open question which is the best boat of the four American representative sloop 32 but in the end the selection will probably narrow down tothe Puritan or-Pris- cilla, although many still pin their faith in the new yacht Mayflower. The Puritan, the win- ner of last year against the Genesta, still maintains a degree of superiority. The Pris- cilia has undergone various modifications in her rig and, sO far as could be done, n her model also. She has shown that in a moderate breeze she is distinctly better than last year, but it is very doubtful if she is any better in a seaway. Those who have watched the performances of the Mayflower cannot dispute that she isa boat of no méan pretensions. She was builtto retain ail the points of superiority in the Puri- tan and the Priscilla, with finer ends, an easier entrance and a clearer run. The Atlantic was not built with special reference to either of ‘the other boats, the purpose of the designers being to provide the ſustest sloop possible under the conditions likely to prevail when ~ 9 is — ag cae for. nview of the approaching arrival of t Galatea at Marblehead, where her owner — concluded to take her to avojd the criticism of the press and yachting experts while fitting her for the races, her record is of some inter- est. In England she is called a ‘‘ninety-ton- ner, but novices will best get an idea of her dimensions to say that she is 86 73-100 feet in length on the water line and 1499-100 feet beam. Her first season, 1885, she sailed in six teen races against the fleetest of English * and won two second prizes. Since hen, however, she has receive portant improvements.

A highly unsatisfactory feeling exists de. tween the Modoc Club and a few members of the Western Club of this city about the single. scullrace that ended in 2 fizzle at Kansas City. The referee of the races at Bonner Springs on July 5 ordered the race rows, over again at St. Louis, anda majority of tue contestants, Messrs. Metzger and Ruetz of; he Western Club, desire the race to be rowed y on a Sunday on the river, whereas the io. docs will not permit Malcom, the Modo, member, to row on that day, as the Club’, policy is opposed to Sunday boat-racing. Mal. colm, they will row with Metzger and Ruetz on any other day in the week, but if a cong). tion of the race be made that it shall take place on oe weekly day of rest it shall never de rowed. Messrs. Ruetz and Metzger of th Westerns have decided to row to-morrow whetlier Mal- colm enters or not, and the race wii! Start from Lesperance street and finish at the Westerns’ boat-house. The same referee Who did the business at Kansas City will be on hand to make the decision. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Oarsmen will come to some agreement on the mutter and that the race, whenever it shall be rowed’ shall start from the bridge, so as to give the people a chance toseeit. All three ure ex. cellent oarsmen, and should not allow ao slight a matter to prevent one of their number from winning a costly gold medal wit}, consid. erable honor thrown in. 8 Wait and See. Speaking of the coming English sweep. stakes, in which neither Hanlan nor Gaudaur is entered. Pendragon, in the London Referee, says: Hanlan’s failure to act up to bis tall talk will come as an admission of weak. ness which is hard to getover. The only wa of explaining his abstention from the affair, and letting the weeks and months pass by without bringing Beach to book for 4 match 1 to accept the general tone of American eriti. cism as correct. Teemer, his severest critic has declared again and again that the ox champion did not want to race, and would not come to England for this engagement if he (Teemer) 414 Teemer’s announced intention to compete is plain enough. Hanlan does notintend to be in on that scene. What is the obvious conclu- sion? Assuming that Hanlan has lost uts torm and is aware that he has gone back, but wants to prolong as far as he can his opportunies for making money as an exhibitioner, his policy and performances are intelligibie, but not creditable. The mighty must have fallen jy. deed. Unless he has a sensation in store jy the shape of a big deposit for a match with the winner of the regatta, the sculler in whom we all recognized a phenomenally great artist wij] have lost his place forever. His business of late will be proved to have been all bouncing, and as he won't put up the only decent course is to shut up. American form is the most puzzling. Gaudaur the other day made a holy show of Teemer, a hot favorite on the day of meeting, but who suffered from sprain- ing a wrist—a curious accident. Jake, per advices from the Western Continent, was 80 pleased with this performance that he at once cabled a challenge to Beach for a match, in which stake money Was notto be of any con- sequence whatever. Ius would seem to yew od that Jake did not aliow much discount for the sprained member. It is only rightto say, however, thatup to now nobody on this side seems to know anything about the cabled challenge in question. Clearly, if reliance was to be put on this win, Teemer was all very well inhis way, but Gaudaur was the man for Beach. The defeated does post his money to try conclusions with the Australian, while the conquerer counts himself out. The Race To-Morrow. The result in the boat-race between North and South St. Louis last Sunday was quite un- satisfactory to all parties concerned and will be rowed over again to-morrow. The course will be three miles and the stakes $50 a side. The 28 will start from the foot of Destrehan street. Random Ripples. Mr. Florence, Captain of the Kansas City Rowing Club, visited the Western Boat house during the week. | Ruddock has two boats of champion Gandaur which be is redecking and fixing over. Whea they are finished they will be boxed for ship- mentto England. At the monthly meeting of the Western Row, ing Club, which takes piace Friday, August 4, there will be eighteen candidates presented for election to membership. The arrangements for the swimming match between Messrs. Helimich, Roll and Sheehan are about complete, and the contest will most likely take place next Sunday. The Western Rowing Club accepted the in- vitation of the Central Turners to pull their team a tug-ot-war for fine gold medais, in the near future at Koerner's Garden. Harry Hayward leaves to-night fora month's canoeing in the Mackinaw Straits. He will bring his canoe, built by an Indian guide, to Sé. Louis with him upon his return. George D. Markham talks of casting his lot with the Modocs. George rowed in his class crew at Harvard and would make a good oar to-day as he still keeps in good trim. Wallace Ross carries his new double scull, with him to England. If a match can be ar- ranged, Teemer and Ross will row any two meu in England for the championship. R. Cloyd Lee, the bowman of the Modoc four, leaves for the East to-morrow night. He will be absent about a month, but will con- tinue his training on the Schuylkill River, the scene of his former triumphs. John G. McNair disposed of his large yacht at the lake to Chas.
