Bou- langer’s Letter—The Crops in France and Russia—Miss Cass’ Case Against Police- man Endicott—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Paris, August 8.—The Conservative Temps notes with great concern the movements of German troops on the Belgian frontier. At Valheim the German authorities have built an inclosure for twenty-six transportation trains, each one capapable of carrying 1,500 men, This action, it says, corroborates their in- formation of the aggressive movement of Germany across the Belgian frontier towards Anvers. A special correspondent was sent there by a paper forthe purpose of in- vestigating all the stories of this inva- sion. He finds that the Germans are strength- along the Belgian frontiers, but he does not believe that they intend to attack Anvers un- der any circumstances in the movement against France. It could not be captured with- out a prolonged siege, which Germany could not afford. This correspondent says, how- ever, that there is no doubt that the Germans have perfected all their arrangements for an easy march into the valley of the Meuse. They are now ready fora rapid concentration of troops upon Malmedy and Aix-la-Chapelle. This same correspondent has found also that Germany has recently sent very large orders to England for commissary supplies, which are to be sent by way of Ostend to Strasburg, Metz and Cologne. They are also strengthen- ing the fortifications at these last mentioned places. Thecorrespondent conciudes his re- port by saying that the German public is seri- ously opposed to war with France, unless the latter power affords a pretext by some un- friendly act calling for retafMation. — THE TWO EMPEROBS. The Meeting Between Framcis Joseph and William at Gasteis. Special Cablegram tothe Pest-Dispatch. LONDON, August 8.—The interview between the two Emperors took place at Gastein Satur- day. In spite of contrary rumors, Emperor William seems very well. At Vienna Satur- day a story of his death was circulated at the same time that the Emperor took a bath. He then went for & walk and called on the Countess at 20’clock and remained three hours at the railway station so as not to disturb Emperor William in his afternoon nap. Emperor Francois Joseph and the gentlemes who accompanied him, wore civilian dress. Emperor William and his suite have adopted the same costume. Emperor Francis Joseph was received at the entrance of Bade Castle by Count Thun, Gov- ernor of that province. and Count Perpoucher, Grand Marshal of the Court, who awaited them atthe door of his apartments. The two sover- eigns embraced and Emperor William said: load did not expect ta see me again at Gas- teln. Francis Joseph replied: see you here again. A SHORT CONFERENCE. The two sovereigns them entered the salon, where they remained alone for three-fourths of an hour. At length the Emperor of Austria took his leave, urging Emperor William not to try to returs the visit. Francis Joseph then walked to the Hotel Straubinger. He was loudly cheered by the people. At 4 o clock the two Emperors dined together with a party invited by Emperor William, and afterwards they went fora drive together in an open carriage. They did not pass the evening together. Gastem and the surround- ing mountains were illuminated in the even- ing. 1am very glad to A TOUCHING SCENE. GASTEIN, August 8.—Thescene at the part- ing of the Emperors yesterday was most touching. Emperor William pressed the hand of Emperor Francis Joseph and said: By the Almighty's leave, au revoir, until next year. Emperor Francis Joseph renlied: It is sure and certain. At this point Emperor William was overcome with emotion. He kissed Em- peror Francis Joseph again and again and they finally separated. — —— — MINNIE HAU.

TO SAVE HIMSELF. Klehm Was a Spy in the Boodler Cases Getles Pays His Fine. CHICAGO, August 8.—An almost incredible story of how George C. Klehm, President of the County Board, played the part of aspy upon his associates throughout the boodle trial, is made public this morning. The gist ofthe story ie that Klehm, to save himself from the penitentiary, agreed to act as a de- tective for the State’s Attorney, and serve him with all information possible re- garding the plans of the boodlers and their lawyers during the trial. After that Klehm attended all meetings of the defendants and wasa close observer of everything said and done. He and the State’s Attorney met every — — in an out-of-the-way place and Grinneli received notice of every plan of the defense, so much so in fact that no re- buttal evidence could be offered by the boodlers. In other words, witnesses for the State were produced who testified on every point to be brought forward by the defense, and the latter were compelled to simply deny. During the examination of tales- men for the jury there was kept up a system of correspondencé right in the court-room between Klehm and Grinnell by means of almost imperceptible signs, by which the State's-Attorney was able to detect whether a person being ex- amined was a satte“ man or not. Klehm's pleading guilty was a surprise to everybody, and the action was caused by his belief that the promise of Grinnell would avail him nothing if the jury were to adjudge him. He therefore threw himself on the mercy of the judge. THE CONVICTED BOODLERS. ae beodlers who were merely fined appe in courtthis morning for sentence. Action, however, was deferred until Thurs- day, except in the case of Commissioner Geties. He was anxious to have the matter closed at once. Sentence was pronounced and the anxious boodler quickly paid over his $1,000 fine. Arguments on the motion for anew trial in the cases of the seven boodlers sentenced to the penitentiary were postponed until October 15. The seven men had altered their purpose not to re- sign office, otherwise they would have been granted no delay. Some have already stepped out, and others will quit without further ado, so the threatened dead-lock and non-assess- ment of taxes is averted. Pending the argu- ments fora new trial the seven boodlers, though saved for the time being from the pen- itentiary, remain immured in the county jail. THE VOLUNTEER LEADS. Splendid Weather for the Yacht Race to Marblehead. COTTAGE Crrr, Mass., August 8.—A fine northeast breeze was blowing this morning, and a magnificent race to Marblehead is prom- ised. Two-thirds of the way it will be a beat to windward. It is expected thatthe winning yacht will reach Marblehead in about eighteen hours. The stake is $1,000. The signal-gun was fired at 7 o’clock, and the time of crossing the line by the big yachts was as fol- lows: Puritan, 7:00:34; Volunteer, 7:01:10; At- lantic, 7:02:31; Mayflower, 7:03:32; Priscilla, mated their distance with wonderful cision, and crossed the line within a seconds of each other under and headway on the port tack, the Puritan keeping to windward. At 7:02 the Electra steamed after the fleet inahurry. At that time the leaders were hull-down on the horizon, the Puritan and the Volunteer ap- — neck and neck, making wonderful time. The start was a beautiful one. By s o’clock every sail had disappeared beneath the hori- zon under astrong breeze, which blew steadily and gave no sign of fagging out. About five miles from shore the Volunteer went ahead of the Puritan in fine style, and closed up on the Sachem, which had come down with the tide and was leading the fleet. THE VOLUNTEER LEADS.

A FERTILE SECTION IN WHICH SPLENDID CROPS HAVE BEEN SCORCHED. Acres Where Corn Will Not Yield a Peck to the Acre—Wells Kun Dry and Water Famines Imminent—The Danger of Fire. OHICAGO, ni., August 8.—There is an area of perhaps 75,000 square miles in the Northwest where the dust lies heavily upon the earth. The district is bounded by Madison on the north, Bloomington on the south, Lake Michi- gan on the east andthe Mississippi River on the west. It is within the limits of these boundaries that vegetation has lost its normal color and the earth its moisture. Day after day the sun sends its burning rays upon the parched farms and fields. Leaves are falling from the trees, the grass in the meadows has grown yellow and white,and the streams in which the cattle used to slake their thirst are as dry as powderhorns. It has been nearly ten weeks since a soaking rain fell in this district. The big bull thistle—the peat of nearly every farm—has at last. succumbed to the fate of all other vegetation. The big weed first wilted, then turned black, and finally fell upon the earth. With not enough moisture in the ground to feedathistle the condition of corn and the tender — in the meadow may be imagined. In southern Wisconsin there are thousands of acres where corn will not yield a peck to the acre. The crop has been scorched and almost totally destroyed. The leaves of the cereal are yellow and brittie and droop almost to the ground. OTHER DANGERS. The loss of the corn crop, serious as it is, will not impoverish the farmers. They have lived inthe country since the land was first tilled, and have, for the most part, laid by enough money to carry them through a winter. But there are other dangers to be confronted. Wells have run dry, and in some towns water famines areimminent. The drinking water at hand is often polluted and filled with poisonous germs. Typhoid fever is becoming more prevalent, and dysentery and other stomach disturbances are so common in some places as to be almostepidemic. Unless rain falls before many days the suffering will be greatly augmented. he intense heat has been a terrific strain upon man, but its effect upon cattle has been simply appalling. Without pasturage to browse upon or pools in = hich to stand during the hot hours of the day the poor beasts have become so emaciated as to de wholly unmarketable, The farmers in the dairy districts have, in Ame instances, been compelled to feed and water their cows from their own larder. In other places, for- est trees have been felled and dragged to the pastures and the cattle turned loose to browse upon the leaves. Hundreds of cows are being killed and shipped to market for a mere pittance. At Winslow, III., one farmer bought ten head of cattle last January at $30 — head. When he offered to sell the entire erd lust week for $100 he could not find a pur- chaser. Farmers in this district have already turned their cattle loose to FEED UPON THE CROPS. In some places tences have been run through cornfields and the starving cattle permitted to feed upon the leaves and stalks. When these have been eaten the fences are extended until the entire ficids have been eaten clean. Added to allthe miseries attending the great drouth is the constant fear of fires. The tall grass of the prairies is dead, the fields are ready to burst into flame and leaves lie in heaps in the forests. Aspark starts a fire and the blis- tering, Sahara-like wind fans the flame into a conflagration. Already the land encompassed by the boundaries has been blackened by wild fires. In some towns the peo are n called out three or four times a de t the flames. Destructive fires have been ing for many days in Kenosha, Racine and Walworth counties in Wisconsin. Thousands of acres have been swept by the flames, and the loss to farmers in hay, Krain, fencing and buildings is very great. Above Madison the bogs are burning fiercely, and the pungent smoke hangs over the country for around. The Northern Illinois fires are so numerous that the farmers have plowed the ground about their buildings in order to check the spread of the flames. Should the drouth remain unbroken much longer incal- culable ruin will be wrought by these fires, which spring upin unexpected places and in the most mysterious manner. In some parts ofthe district the drought is so terrible that butternuts and walnuts have fallen from the trees. Potatoes, when taken from their beds of ashes, look like crab ap- ples. They are wrinkled and spongy and un- fitforfood. There is also a great scarcity of milk, owing to the inability of cows to Und nutritous food. THE COERCION ACT. Archbishop Walsh Regards it as a Social and Economic Question. BALTIMORE, August 8.—The Sun to-day has a letter from its special correspondent now in Dublin, which includes an interview with Archbishop Walsh on the probable effect of the coercion act. The Archbishop says he does not regard it as a political question, but as one purely social and economic—one that concerns the domestic welfare and the happi- ness of every household in the land. It is quite certain that the literal execution of the act would break up, root and branch, the National League, and absolutely stifie any open demonstration of sympathy with home rule. It is probably quite as much on account of its unu.ually harsh features as for an other reason that the Irish Nationalists loo upon it as a measure that England would fully avail itself of as an extreme resort. The archbisho attaching only secondary importance to this act, and looking upon the amended law bill as removing a large portion of the injustice of which the farmers com- lain, augurs happy prospects for the future. le, too, thinks that in a year or two more an Irish parliament will again sit in the old Par- liament House in Dublin.

Tim Bowman, a negro janitor employed at the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph office, was ar- rested to-day by Detectives Lawlerand Des- mond on a charge of stealing articles from the company. A search of hisroom, No. 115 North Thirteenth street, was made, and a set ot in- struments, a couple of battery jars and a lot of stationery were found. He also admitted having stolen a seersucker coat and vest from one of the operators. Articies have been missed from the office for some time and Bowman is believed to have taken them all. Mr. James Townsend, manager of the com- pany here, took out a warrant for petit larceny against the negro. Fined for Small Offenses.

Growth of the Rage in St. Louis— When, Where and How to Wear It. There is a wild-eyed idiot nestling some- where in the bosom of oblivion, who inflicted on the rag as it emerged from the horror of last winter’s haberdashery the pink shirt and blue collar. Perchance he has met in that dim- lit land one that the male world would like to know, an apostle of comfort, and may be the author of the cool, artistic flannel shirt hobnobs with the epitome of the un@sthetic who preceded him. The pink shirt faded with the apple blossoms, the flannel shirt will linger till the russet leaves. There is no more uncomforta- ble garment in hot weather, than the stiff white'shirt though convention for years woul not permit a gentleman to discard it fora more comfortable garment. Several summers ago there was an innovation, the plaited shirt, which good dressers sanctioned; but its popularity was limited after all. Almost contemperaneous with it was the in- troduction of the flannel shirt, thick, rough and hideous. The growth of summer out-of- door sports, lawn tennis, bicycling, boating, etc., caused a demand to arise tor some- thing better and the present season sees the result. Haberdashers bung in their windows light, soft, delicately colored flannels at the beginning of summer. Men who dress for comfort bought them and their example led others in the same path untilarage arose that has put every man in St. Louis in a flannel shirt, except those who are too conservative or dignified to follow rages. The furor struck a local office and engulfed first the bicycler, next the society man fell victim to a poem in wool and blue stripes, the dude of the establishment covered his bulwarks with a garment done in Etruscan red, and finally the Sporting fiend in full character appeared panoplied in a garden of red flowers and a gambler's tie of Dolly Varden hues. It was an illustration of the difference in taste cultivated by surroundings,and few establish- ments suffered so variously from the manifes- tations of the rage. While the garment is undoubtedly comfort- able, it is not always seasonable, even in sum- mer. Dress reformers who bear aloft the watchword comfort are very apt to forget this, and inconsequence young gentiemen make evening calls wearing flannel shirts in substi- tution for the more correct garment of linen. On work-days and during business hours, at picnics, excursions and lawn arties the flannel shirt is en regle. It should be yig- orously tabooed on Sunday, and in the even- ing especially, if the wearer expects to go into the presence of ladies. When worn at all the vest is dispensed with; alsq the suspenders. A tie of pongee silk, gauze or other light material to harmonize with the color of the sbirt should be worn.

Insurance Companies Making Good Their Legal Standing—A Wild-Cat Concern. The Northwestern Masonic Aid Association of Chicago, an assessment company, the membership in which is Jimited to the Masonic order, has been admitted to do business in Missouri under the recently enacted assessment insurance law. The in. surance association connected with the Knights Templar of Ohio is preparing an ap- plication for admission. The Insurance Commissioner this morning received a letter from a lawyer at Mexico, Mo., asking it the American Mutual Life Association of Elkhart, Ind., is entitled to do business in this State. The company had sustained a loss of $2,000 at Mexico which they refused to settle. The company is not authorized to do business in the State, andif it is now working here is wildcating. A Floater Identified. Gilbert Covington is supposed to be the name of the colored man whose body was taken from the river Saturday at the footof Rutger street. A letter was found on him ad- dressed to Gilbert Chapman in care of the steamer New South, and it is supposed he was employed as a roustabout on that boat.

VISIT TO THE CITY OF AN OFFICER WHO CHECKED FOOLISH COURTS-MARTIAL. — — A Victim of Red Tape and Spite—How en Interview inthe Post-Dispateh was Used By Gen. Hazen—An Officer Tried for An- other Person’s Blunder—Lieut. Waishe Makes a Wager on the New Shelter- Shed—What Has Made the Heat So Fatal —The New Observer in Charge, ance of a bluff, hearty, jolly gentleman at the Signal Office this morning, who witha joketo the official salute which the observers gave him. The visitor was Lieut. J. C. Walshe of the Signal Office at Washington, who is out on an inspecting tour of signal stations. He thinks a great deal of St. Louis and the city ought to reciprocate in regard, as the Lieutenant was the first official to raise his voice against the abominable instrument exposure which has been giving St. Louis a bad reputation in the matter of temperature for so long. The protest he made some two years ago. It was a double-barreled protest in the shape of vigorous interviews in the Post-DISPATCH and of a formal statement in his official report. The sharp way Lieut. Walshe hit off the service for its neglect of the St. Louis station rather took away his superior’s breath. That interview, in the POST-DISPATCH, by the way, resulted in the beginning of an estrangement which cul- minated lastiwinter in Walshe’s court-martial. When he returned to Washington, it a ars he was shown the PosT- DISPATCH and asked if he was reported correctly. He said yes, every word was true. He had made some charges therein against the head office, but he said he could prove them. Gen. said he thought of court-martialing The Lieu- tenant said: All right, go ahead. But Hazen did not, but bided his time, and thought he found it last - uary, when he placed Lieut. Walshe under arrest fora month and court-martialed him. The alleged ground was that he had re- ported that storm signals had been ordered up the night of December5 when really they didn’t go outtillthe 6th. The triviality of the charge shows how the late chiefgsignal officer prostituted his office to the securing of his re- venge. Lieut. Walshe sent the order for storm signals at 10:40 5 m. on the night of the 6th. ‘he telegrapher for same reason delayed sending it till 12:05 a. m. or five minutes anver the fifth day. For this heinous offense nine officers were summoned from all portions of the country to the case, which cost the war Office about $1,400. Hazen was so bitter that he made the charge read, for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman’’ the penalty for which is dismissal from the service. Lieut. alshe pleaded his own case and won It so completely that it will bea longtime before any more such trivial courts-martial will be held again. By a singular coincidence Gen. Hazen died the very day the trial came off. THE SUMMER’S HEAT. Lieut. Walshe was feeling very happy the as he looked out on the roof and saw the new shelter-shed ing up. That will be a good thing for the city,’ he remarked. ‘*They have been h its completion, I think, to get it done before I got here, as they know I would be pre sure to call attention to the old shed. 11 the present exposure reads from 6 to 7 degrees out of the way. I shall wait. with interest for the readings of the new shed.

St. Tonis Post- Dispatch, Plonday, August 8, 1887. 4 IIR FISHERY FUSS. | AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE ON BOARD THE UNITED STATES FLAG-SHIP RICHMOND. ©onsul-General Phelan and Admiral Luce Met Minister of Fisheries Foster and Capt. Scott—A Number of Knotty Points Discussed—Admiral Luce’s Statement— Canada’s Firm Stand—British War Ves- gels to Aid the Cruisers. By Telegraph to the PosTt-DisPpatTcn. Hatirax, Nova Scotia, August 8.—Rear- Admiral Luce, Consul-General Phelan and Capt. Scott held an hour's conference on the United States war-ship Richmond, between 5:30 and 6:30 o’clock Saturday evening. There was a dance on the flagship during the afternoon, at- tended by the elite of the city. Immediately after it was concluded Minister Foster and Admiral Scott boarded the ship. The confer- ence was a very animated one. The Post- DIsPaTOH correspondent waited upon Admiral Luce after it was adjourned, and asked it he would make a statement regarding the points discussed. „Not a word,’’ replied the Admiral; “not a word. The conference was purely a private one, but I may say that L found the minister an exceedingly agreeable and sociable gentieman. Various matters were N talked over, and after conferring with him should have regarded it as a personal misfortune to have come to Halifax and not seen the minister. ‘When shown the interview with Charies Levi Woodbury, Congressman ney and Richard Spofford, recently publis , Ad- miral Luce said he had just received it by mail and had only time to glance at it. From what 1 gather from it, continued Admiral Luce, ‘‘those gentlemen, together with some newspapers, have totally misapre- hended the position Itake. lam not here to interpret treaties or enforce Canadian ue, but am acting simply asa zealous friend an an earnest advocate of the cause of American fishermen. Conceiving it to be my duty to learn what the local laws and police regula- tions of the Dominion require, to that end I pounded a series of questions to Capt. Boot, commanding the fleet of Canadian cruis- ers, obtained his replies thereto and circu- lated them among our fishermen. What our fishermen wan was not an interpretation wf the treaty. That will be done by the oon- tracting parties and the courts.’’ A FIRM STAND. Action of the Canadian Government—Ad- miral Luce’s Statement. Hairax, Novia Scotia, August 8.—Consider- able excitement prevailed here on Saturday over the latest seizure at Souris, which is now reported to be not only for an offense against the custom laws, but also for a violation of the treaty of 1815, and to be such a serious case as to require the immediate presence df Consul- General Phelan. Great interest also attaches to a conference which took place that day between the Minister of Fisheries, RKear- Admiral Luce, Consul-General Phelan and pt. Scott. The conference occurred on board the United States flagship Richmond, and lasted over an hour. It is understood that the circumstances connected with the recent seizures, the administration of Canadian cus- tom ulations, the rights of American fish- ermen in Canadian waters, the statement of questions by Admiral Luce, and Capt. Soott’'s replies thereto, and other matters, were freely and frankly discussed, though purely infor- mally. The result is that this interchange of views has caused such a personal understand- in to be arrived at as will materially aid in solving a number of knotty points hith- erto a source of annoyance and irritation, and to tend to simplify affairs in tho future. garding the cases of the Gloucester schooners Argonaut and French, Minister Foster declared it to be the intention of the Canadian author- ities to capture these vessels wherever they could und them, either inside the Canada limit or in the high seas outside the territorial waters of the United States. He argued that the vessels, upon the admission of their crews, had clearly been guilty of VIOLATING THE TREATY, and, therefore, were liabie to forfeiture, anda forfeited vessel side the territorial waters of another Both Admiral Luce and Consul-General Phe- lan strongly dissented from this view, and emphatical expressed their opinions that the United States would never permit those vessels outside the territorial waters of Can- ada. Regarding the supply of necessaries of life to American vessels coming in from the banks destitute, the minister explained that while no vessel would be per- mitted to suffer for food, it was not his inten- f tion to allow American vessels to fish until all their provisions were exhausted and then | play upon Canadian sympathy for a fresh supply. The minister said he had not received the details of the Souris seizure, but if the men were shipped outside the limit, as al- leged by the skipper of the Perkins, he thought the matter could be amica- ly adjusted. The gathering was mu- ean agreeable and will doubtless result in more * relations in the future than those whieh have hitherto prevailed. But while interest attached to the seizure and the conference, by far the greatest interest centered in the current report that Secretary of the Navy Whitney had telegraphed Admiral Luce to withdraw all circulars or memoranda of instructions that he may have authorized or issued to American fishermen. ADMIRAL LUCE’S STATEMENT. Admiral Luce authorized the following statement in regard to the circular which he issued giving instructions to American fisher- m * 3 — — — — - — 3 en — —— — — — =o . = « ve * . —— A ³ ti li Pe Ny - — — — « — 4 * — ee 2 - ö .

It is under- stood by common report that the United States Government and that of Great Britain are now negotiating for a settlement of the fishery question, Pending these negotiations it is the 11 art of the United States vessels of war avoid doing anything might even harass our Government or add to the complication of the nestions at issue. The ships of the tlantic squadron were not sentto the Gulf of st. Lawrence to prevent by force seiz- ure of American fishermen by Dominion cruisers for alleged violation of lawsfor the tection of the in-shore fisheries, but rather render such moral r as the mere —— of our ships might afford. In the t of a seizure of an American fishing ves- sel tox an alleged violation of the laws of the Dominion, the case must be fought out in the courts, not by the Dominion cruiser and a vessel of war of the United States. This is not abating one jot or one tittle on the American side of the question, for if the Dominion courts tind in opposition to the claim of the United States, thea the case ean be taken up by our Government and sub- 1 necessary, to arbitration. The | to arms, as some of our newspapers est, is su ed to be the measure of last resort. Had the entire United States navy been nt on September, 1886, it could not have lly prevented the seizures by a ve all minion cruiser of the iighian t for fishing within the three-mile ues- tion, it has not saved the cases of the David J. dams and Ellen M. Doughty from tn the courts now for overayear.

Minister Fors- ter left the city Saturday night for St. John, New Brunswick. It is impossible to gather anything more than has been al- ready ay — concerning Saturday's conference between Mr. Foster, Commodore Scott, Consul-General Phelan and Admiral Luce. The Consul-General states that he had a second interview alone with the Minister of Fisheries, but that he cannot say what its nature was, He will not give an explanation ot the abandonment of the idea of wor * circular to United States fishermen, and the only fact to he ascertained is tha the instruc- tlous prepared were torn up, and the pieces scattered to the wind.

The Halle Confessions of Jadgment At- tacked by Foreign Creditors To-Day. The Circult Court, a few days ago, granted an order ofsale under the confessions of jadgment made by Louis Halle, wine and liq- uor merchant, Broadway nesr Washington avenue. When the establishment was closed by the Sheritt under the con- fessed judgments, it was supposed that the foreign creditors would take some action as soon as the news of the suspension reached them. This morning Silas B. Jones entered in the Circuit Court an at- tdchment suit against Mr. Halle in behalt of E. Dupont & Co.’s foreign creditors, who pre- sent a claim for $6,408 for wines and liquors. Max J. Seeman and Wm. M. Senter were sure- ties on the attachment bond.

A petition for divoroe was filed in the Circuit Court to-day by Mrs. Martha Thierbach against George Thierbach. They were married in this city on the 8d of December, 1876, and Mrs. Thierbach states that she treated her husband with kindness and affection, and did every- thing in her power to promote his comfort and happiness but that he did not reciprocate, and in three short months he absented him- self from home and has remained away ever since without any just cause or provocation. Mrs. Thierbach further alleges that her hus- band neglected to support her and has refused to contribute one cent since his departure. * Notes in Court. Next Friday, the 12th inst., will be the last day in the Circuit Court for obtaining orders of publication in cases returnable to the Octo- ber term.

A Gay Lot of Youngsters—Consul-General Smith as Guide and Protector—On Liberty Island—A Run With the machine“ The Reception at the White House. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. New Tonk, August8’.—The twenty or more Siamese travelers who are with us now are taking their outing in this country in just the spirit to get the most fun possible out of it. Their shining black eyes are very wide open, and the impressions received would do oredit to a professional instantaneous photographer. Among themselves these enthusiastic foreign- ers are the gayest youngsters out of school. | They chatter and joke, and the younger ones, especially, play tricks upon each other with an acuteness that would do credit to young America himself. They are extremely shy and reserved with strangers, but they do not let their shyness stand in the way of their enjoying themselves. They are energetic young men, as well as observing, and are bound to see everything and do everything regardless of the weather that time will permit. In their reckless pursuit of the impossible to 80 farther they have almost exhausted the strength of Consul-General Smith, who is act- ing as their guide and protector, and out of whose sight they literally do not stray. Mr. Smith, for instance, took them to Liberty Island Tuesday and toiled manfully and cheerfully up as far as the head of the statue, and there saw fit to stop. Prince Deva- wongse, however, espied the long ladder that leads to the torch, and nothing would content the young adventurers but to climb those fifty roundsand see it all. Much as he was inclined to be obliging, Mr. Smith contented himself with waiting for them to come down. In Washington it was just the same. They not only explored every ordinary nook and corner of the Capitol proper, but climbed faithfully, roasting hot day as it was, to the uppermost point of the dome. Although there wasno particular climbing to be done there, the Smithsonian Institute in- terested them greatly, and it was almost impossible to convince them that THEY HAD SEEN ENOUGH. They were particularly taken with the differ ence in the classification of the exhibits her from any of the sort they had seen before, it being, as all good Americans know, not by country, but by class. They marveled es- pecially at the plows, that ranged from the veriest crooked stick to the latest thing in cold steel, and atthe peculiar species of musical instruments It the boom-boom order, from the primitive tom-tom of aboriginal delight to the gorgeous French drum of the present advanced era. These enjoyments they par- took offen masse, but whenit cameto see- ing the President, only the oldest and most dignified of the royal party presented the let- ter of introduction from the King of Siam. President Cleveland, however, was not satis- fled that the little princes had not been per- mitted to come, so they were gratified later in the day by having a special reception. The President impressed upon them particularity that it would be a matter of great regret with Mrs. Cleveland that she had not so been there to meetthem. Itis not to be supposed that they told Mr. Cleveland so, but it is said by a man closely allied with the party that none of them, not even his roval highness himself, has spoken toa woman since their ar- rival in America, and that, moreover, it is not their wish to doso. Leaving Washington at midnight, Friday, the royal party reached New York Saturday morning at 8 o’clock, to spend what they agree among themselves has been their most wonderful day. It had been arranged by Mr. Smith that the princes should receive officially on the morning of their arrival. As soon as they had break- fasted and otherwise prepared themselves, the officia!s from our various city departments were announced. Acting-Mayor Beekman and the various Pubiic Commissioners, to- gether with important subordinates, were their visitors. he reception and luncheon being over, the most important affair of the + ates was, a8 narrated yesterday, the trea FURNISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Chief Giquel took them to Engine-house No. 13, where Prince Devawongse touched the bell and the party saw the men and the horses fiying to position. The sight of the men slid- ing like monkeys down the big pole tickled the M and it would be possibly a safe et to make thattheir young highnesses will not be in their ancestral halls two days before a dozen interested Siamese shavers will know exactly how itisdone. If they don’t explain by demonstration, the waiting public will probably learn of it theoretically through their senior companion, for itis more than hinted that the Prince is like many a less shy visitors of ours, gathering material for a book to be published on his return. All the young men are under mild orders from the Ring to keep a record of what they see, but Prince Devawongse is the only one who is accused of desperate literary aspirations. While in the engine-house a veritable alarm wa received from Green streetand nothing would dothe visitors but that they must see the fire, so into their carriages they bundled in true demo- cratic fashion and off they went to the blaze. Before they could reach the spot, however, as was stated in the papers yesterday the fremen had extinguished the fire. The Siamese were not, however, to be robbed of all their sport, for Chief Giquel had another treat in store for them. Back to their coaches they went. At5:50, led by the Chief in his buggy, they were whirled into Union Square and set upon the sidewalk in front of the ‘‘little house.’’ From here they trotted amiably across the square to the fire-box on the south- westcorner of Seventeenth and Broadway. Here Prince Devawongse stood on the tips of his little patent leather No.8 shoes, pushed back his wide-brimmed white hat, pulled down his spotless white vest, struggied a minute and the deed was done. e bad feloniously called the fire department to a fire that did not exist, even in imagination, and laid himselt liable to a fine of $50.

Ever since the meeting of the School Board two weeks ago, at which it became apparent that until the fight for and against Mr. M. A. Sullivan for the Superintendency had been settled one way or another, that no further appointments of teachers would be made, a great deal of caucusing among the mem- bers has been done with a view to have some sort of an understaneing arrived at. The prospects for a compromise are, however, still unfavorable. The latest propo- sition made by Sullivan’s supporters is that if his opponents for Superintendent will oguee to appoint him A. 8 the upper school they will vote for C. arroll, present pee al of that school, for super- ntendent. This proposition does not suit Messrs. Dill, Rush and Cantillon, how- ever, who are in favor of abolishing the office of superintendent altogether and giving Mr. Sullivan nothing. Mr. Carroll would make a very competent superintendent, and inas- much as County Superintendent Cannady thinks it would be against the best interests of the schools to have the office abolished, and furthermore, as the citizens do not indorse the desire of some parties to have Mr. Sulli- van left out entirely, it is thought the propo- sition ought to be accepted by those oppose to Sullivan for superintendent. Dennis Rush, a school director, and a man named James Sheehan had a quarrel last evening on the corner of Collinsville and Ohio avenues and came to blows. Mutual friends interfered and no arrests were made. Shee- han, however, announced his intention to swear outa warrant to-day against Rush for assault.

There is no immediate danger to the city of the threatened water famine, barring accli- dents to the machinery of the Water-works. Ot the four engines at the works three are now as busy as they can be in main- taining the water in the Compton Hill reservoir. The daily report at the office of the Water Commissioner shows that the marking to-day is 168.4 feet. This is due to the recent cooling off of the temperature. The bulletin shows a marked tendenty to rise. For instance, the rise has been pre regular from August 5. On that day the water stood at 167.0; on the day following at 167.5 and yesterday the register showed 167. 7. The rise therefore. since yesterday has beeu nearly a full foot. The only danger to be feared is from the pumps at the works, which are heavily burdened to keep up the supply. The fear for the draught on the store to be used for the city sprinkling when the system is fully under way, is altogether group ‘less, as this inereased demand will be more than offset almost by the cessation of the use of hosefor street sprinkling urposes.

The bids were of three classes; firstfor the hull and machinery upon the plans of the department; second, hull and machinery upon the contractors’ own plans; third, the hull after the plans of the department and machinery after the bulld- ers’ own plans, approved by the depart- ment. There was but one bid upon the Newark, which was by Wiliam Cramp & Sous, under class, one the price being $1,248,000. The Union Iron-works of San Francisco bid under class one f>r either cruisers No. 4 or§&, at $1,428,000. William Cramp & Sons bid upon cruisers Nos. 4 and 5 underclass one at $1,410, - each; under class two at $1,325,000 each; under class two with special modifications at $1.350.000 each, and under class three at FI, 405,000. Wm Cramp & Saus bid for the two nboats at $495,000, and N. F. Palmer & Co. of ‘ew York bid for the same at $490,000. Secre- tary Whitney said to an Associated Press re- porter after opening the bids: It is great relief to my mind getting this outofthe way. The requirements which the contractors assume are more exacting than in the case of any previous bidding. The law for cruisers Nos. 4 and 5 provides that the con- tracts for the construction of them shall contain provisions to the effect that the contractor guarantees that when com- leted and tested for speed, under conditions be prescribed by the department, the ves- sels shall exhibit a maximum speed of at least nineteen knots per hour, and for every quarter knot of speed so exhibited above said guarantee, the contractor shall receive a remium over and above his contract price of ,000, and for every quarter of a knot said vessel fails of reaching said guarantee speed there shall be deducted from the contract price the sum of 380,000. JERRY PAGELS’ LAST HOPE. Justice Miller Refuses a Writ of Error—Ap- plication to the Governer. The dark and ominous shadow of death has gradually but steadily settled overthe head of the unfortunate Jerry Pagels until the hori- zon of hope has been completely obgcured, save for one glimmering ray of promise. This last hope is based upon an application tor a reprieve to be made to Acting-Governor Morehouse, who, itis hoped, will delay the execution until the return of Gov. Marma- duke from Europe, the attorneys 4 for a commutation As has been stated before, these gentlemen made an application to Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court fur a writ of error, which was refused by him. Then the records in the case were sent to Justice Miller, at Block Island, R. IL, who received them last Saturday, but after a care - ful examination of them he too refused to in- terfere and so notified the attorneys late Sat- urday evening. In order to ascertain what further steps of any will be taken to save the life of the condemned wretch a reporter of the Post-DIsPaTcH called upon Mr. Bullock and asked him what his inten- tions were in the matter. In response that gentleman said: „We made a mistake in not applying to Justice Miller in the first place, but at thetime we made the application we expediate the issuance of the nted. Of course, out ot arlan's action in the mat ter, Justice Miller could do nothing bat re- fuse the writ, and we expected nothing else. This leaves nothing else for us to do but to present an application to the Acting Gov- ernor for a respite until Marmaduke returns, but we have no hope that he will grant it, and have said as much to our client. Still we think it ie our duty to leave no stone unturned which might by any possi- bility save the man’s life. Our application will be forwarded immediately as time is pressing andevery advantage of it must be eon. would great! writ in case it was respectto Justice In answer to the question whether he would apply tothe Sheriff fora jury to inguire into the mentai condition of the condemned man Mr. Bullock said: I you had seen the man you would not ask the question. He isa hale, — well pre- served man physically and mentaliy as sound as anyone know his actions are a littie queer attimes, but that is the effect of the circumstances in which he \s placed, and anv man similarly situated would probably act in the same way.’ No, concluded Mr. Bullock, our only hope rests with Gov. Morehouse and if he faiis us we can do notbing else. The news of tbe refusal of the writ was con- veyed to Pagels by his brother-in-law. He appeared to take it very hard, but refused to have anything to say when approached bya BELLEVILLE, a Horse-Thief—A Costly Runaway—N otes. Several weeks ago a man named J. R. Alien was hired by the Big John Plow Company of 512 Church street to canvass the county for orders. He was furnished with a double team and a buggy to do his traveling. Yesterday he went to East St. Louis. There he met Detective James and im- the course ots conversation said that his team did not suit him, and he would like to seli the borses and purchase others. James offered to secure him a purchaser immediately, providing Allen paid him & commission. This Allen to do, and James left and half an hour later returned with his man. The bar- gain between the third party and Allen was soon closed and Allen pocketed the money and departed. He has not made his appear- ance in Belleville since, and the firm which employed him sent notice to Sheriff Ragland to be on the look-out for him. Detective James has been intrusted to hunt him up.

A CHILIAN “SHE.” Isidora de Consino, or the Monte Cristo of south America. From the San Francisco Examiner. A ae: dressed young man of medium height, with a large diamond in his shirt boson), stepped off the barkentine Alda- via a few days ago when it arrived from Chili. There was something so sharp and shrewd in his appearance that the atten- tion of an Examiner representative was attracted to him. That is Mr. Jenkins, the grand secre- tary to the richest woman in South America—Mme. Isidora de Consino—com- monly known as the Monte Cristo of — America, said an officer of the vessel. So you would like to know something of the madam,” observed Mr. Jenkins, stroking his mustache on being intro- duced. Well, there is lots to tell you. I could talk about her possessions and her eccentricities for a week, and the subject would not be half exhausted. It’s a rather curious thing that she was not discovered long since. She is known all along the South American coast, and is almost a queen over the people. In fact, there is no one who disputes her in anything she says or does, and she revels in the luxuries that her enormous wealth can surround her with. About fifty years have passed since she was born, and, though tew women have dissipated as she has, she is well preserved and goes out and has her nice little time the same as ever. No; she is not fair. Her features are coarse, like aservant girl’s, but she has had many lovers. She has a partiality for the French, and afew years ago, when a gentleman from France happened around, she in- variably invited him and fell in love with him. In late years her sons have been watching her and using their efforts to keep her from scandal, which she falls into very easily. »The society people of the city re- eatedly vow that they will never visit er again, but her receptions are so ele- gant and rich that they never fail to at- tend when they receive an invitation. **Isidora is a native of Chili anda widow of the late Luis de Consino, a gentleman of French origin. She claims to have Castilian blood in her veins, and most probably she has. She is the owner of about four-fifths of the coal mines of Lota, asmallseaportin the southern part of Chili, the inhabitants of which are en- tirely dependent for their livelihood upon the mines, and besides this she has the eontrolling interest in the Compania Es- — de Carbon de Lota i Coronel. ‘hese mines supply all vessels of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company with coal, and also all steamers plying on the southwest coast. “At Lota she has removed what was a handsome building and is rebuilding a palace to eclipse anything in South America. Its cost will be more than $2,000,000. The palace will be situated in the most beautiful park country, a ver- itable Eden, where it will be surrounded by the most magnificent trees and ‘plants that money can procure. In Santiago, the capital of Chili, she has a residence that for grandeur has few equals. It is situated in a garden of five acres, teeming with tropical plants and birds. ‘*Her stables contain fifty or more thor- oughbred English racers. The madam was the first patroness of horse-racinpg in Chili. Her turnouts are equal to those of any princess. ‘*Isidora cares little for money. Her in- come is enormous, but she manages to spend about as much. In 18% her brother died. In her bereavement she made do- nations to hospitals, churches, convents, etc., to the extent of 900,000. She was left $8,000,000 by him. Included in ber es- tate was a 22 residence on one of the principal streets of Santiago. The dwelling was builtand owned fora time bya former Californian, Don Enrique Meiggs. who had all the material and workmen brought from the States. She has three daughters. The eldest is 21 and the youngest is 12 years of age. The second is 17, and the prettiest. Isi- dora has much trouble with them. Re- cently a young lieutenant feil in love with the 15-year-old, and her mother saw fit to remove her toa convent. The others have since been placed where the beguilements of man cannot reach.’’ How the Dog Knew. From the Detroit Free Press. There was an old kicker hanging around the corridor of the post-office yesterday, mad because he didn’t get a letter, and there was a dude on the steps outside with a pug dog. By and bythe dude dodged into the building and bid behind a door, but the pug soon followed and smelied him out. “Did you see that?“ asked the dude of the kicker. [tell you, this dog knows more than some folks. What did he do!“ ‘‘Came right to the spot where I was hidden.’’ a That was nothing.“ It wasn't, eh? How did he know I was there?’’ It would be a mighty poor cur that all smell your feet twenty rods off! The dude started out to find some to act as his second in a duel, and the old kicker will doubtless have to apologize or fight. The Gushing Girl of the Day. From the Merchant Traveler. ket. quet of pink roses. THE LAST SHOT. — A Reminiscence of the Closing Scenes of the War. From the Greensboro (Ga.) Herald. We had the pleasure of meeting Tues- day the man who claims to bave ordered the last shot fired on the Confederate side during the late unpleasantness. Heis Mr. A. B. Faircloth of Camilla, Mitchell County, Georgia, a gentleman as modest as he is brave. The incident was told us by Capt. D. H. Sanders, an old comrade- in-arms of Mr. Faircloth, and forms a unique feature in the unwritten history of the great struggle. Trifling in itself the incident is only interesting and valuable by reason of its being, so far as the actors in it kuow, the very last hostile act of any armed force of the expiring Confederacy. Mr. Faircloth belonged to Company C, Second Georgia Cavalry, first a part of Wharton’s rigade, afterwards with Wheeler’s command. This regiment was for some time associated with Terry’s famous Texas Rangers, whose exploits are among the most highly prized tradi- tions of the war. The intimacy that grew up between these two commands was very close and tender, and remained unbroken to the end. A ‘‘Ranger’’ would succor a Second Georgia Cavairyman in distress as quick as his own brother. They fought together, bivouacked together, and to- ig went on Many a wild adventurous raid. But to the incident. Lee had surrender- ed. Johnston had surrendered. Only Kirby Smith remained at the head of armed resistance. The Confederacy was in its death throes. Wheeler determined not to surrender his men, but to force his way across the country to join Smith west of the Mississippi. o this end he pro- cured the removal of his command from Jobnston’s army, and started upon one of the most hazardous retreats in the annals of war. While everywhere Confederate troops were grounding their arms, taking the oath of allegiance to the United States Government and returning to their homes, this little band under their gallant leader refused to lower the ‘‘stars and bars.’’ Wheeler’s bold movement was kept a profound secret, known only to his own men and Gen. Johnston. All thought that the war was over. The Federals came freely into the lines of their late foes, and there was a general intermingling of the ‘blue and gray.” It fell to the lot of Company C to guard Wheeler’s rear. A barrel of brandy was discovered just in- side the reserve picket line, and these old veterans, with true ne gga instinct, soon tapped it and were fast getting into a hi- larious condition. The Lieutenant in command of the > guards was in a short time unable to distinguish a Con- federate from a ‘‘Yank,” and was re- lieved by Mr. Faircloth, the Orderly Ser- geant. The aroma of that brandy was wafted to the olfactories of the Union soldiers, and soon a troop of cavalry was seen coming at a headlong charge upon that barrel. Sergeant Faircloth obeyed the orders of his chief, and the dashing squadron was received with avolley from their picket line. They were dumfounded, and without returning the fire showed a white oe The Sergeant advanced to parley with the bearer of the flag of truce. “What the deuce did you fire for? Don’t you know the war is over?” This was jerked out by the spokesman on the other side. ‘‘Il obeyed orders,” calmly replied the Sergeant. No troops can pass my line.” But, man, Johnston has sur- rendered. and the war is over. Come, let us pass, we want to taste that brandy over there.“ “I must carry out my orders,” stoutly maintained Sergt. Faircloth, and if your men advance an will be fired upon. But.” he added, I am expecting orders calling in my men every minute, and if you will wait, perhaps you may yet get a drop of the brandy.“ Strange to say the troop waited, and the order came. Then there was a grand rush for the barrel—when ‘‘Johnny Reb“ and ‘*‘Yank’’ got on a drunk together. This was the last shot fired in the late war, and the incident, now published for the first time, will be read with interest by those who participated in the novel scéne, as well as the general public. To complete the story it only remains to tell that, acting under the advice of Johnston, Wheeler gaveover his daring attempt, and turning over his men to the brigade, regimental and company com- manders, to act as they saw fit, gathered about him afew bold spirits and started to jointhe head of the Confederacy in his effort to escape his pursuers. Fourth of July Toilets. From Galignani’s Messenger of Parts. The toilet worn by Mme. Emma Ne- vada at the reception given by the Ameri- can Minister and Mrs. Phelps on the Fourth of July was noted as being one of the prettiest of the occasion. It was in helitrope peau de soie, made with revers of white silk, and withan underskirt barred with bands of helitrope vel- vet over which the overskirt parted at the right side. Mrs. Phelps had on the elegant toilette that she wore the previous week at the Queen’s garden-party. It was in black lace over silver gray, and was trimmed with knots and bands of silver-gray satin. Mra. Phelps carried a large and beautiful bou- Mine. Minnie Hauk was tastefully and becomingly arrayed in black and red changeable silk, trimmed with black lace, her bright, dark eyes and piquant features showing to great advant- age under the shade of a broad, black hat. Mrs. John Sherwood wore white em- broidered muslin over mauve, and a mauve bonnet embroidered with pearl beads. Indian Pumpkins Climbing Trees. From the Savannah News. . Andrew J.

She Said Her Say at Last. From Tid- Bits. A rather prepossessing young lady en- tered the office: of a well-knowis lawyer the other day and inquired: : Is Mr. Brief in?“ Won't be in for two hours, “ replied the dapper young clerk whom she addressed, surveying her from head to foot with an approving glance. ‘‘Anything I can do for you?“ es,“ was the reply, and the lady — from beneath her wrap a andsomely bound volume. 1 ve here——”’ ‘‘] thought so,” interrupted the clerk with a deprecating gesture. “I sized you up as soon us you came in.

One of our clerks bought one last month for A, and yesterday he traded 3 a yaller dog and then killed the og. wien to say——’’ “Or it may be a humorous work, with wood cuts that look as if they had been engraved with a meat-ax.

The Lady and the Poodle. From the Argonaut. 3 While the fashions in clothes, in man- ners. in ideas change like the weather- cock on a March day, the fashion of fash- ions, popular taste in dogs, still pursues the even tenor of ita way with no wuaver- ings, no sudden deviations. The pug and the black poodle—all shaven and shorn, with a flamboyant outcrop of curls deck- ing the pinnacle of its absently waving tail—still keep their places in the heart of womankind. They are still loved with a passionate ardor. They are still hauled up the avenue on the end of a string, to which they show their old aversion with undiminished vi- vacity. A black le’s life must be, at least, exciting. hene’er they take their walks — they run an imminent risk of being strangled, which must add a poignancy to their otherwise common- place careers.

At the same time no man ever gave to the world as many death-dealing implements as Krkurr. Perhaps he feared that his great gun factory would be brought up against him in the final judg- meut. — —- Tux terror exhibited by CROCKER’s at- torney and the consequent refusal of CROCKER to answer a plain and pertinent question regarding the accounts of the Pacific roads shows that the great bood- lers are beginning to find themselves hemmed in by the net-work of evidence which their rascality has woven around them. A little vigorous effort now will change the defiant attitude of these mon- umental criminals, and reduce them to the position of plain rascals, subject to the penalties of the law. * * A CORRESPONDENT of the Globe-Dem- ocrat reports Mr. JoN D. Perry as using the following language in discussing the subjectof politics: I have'never known **a man to come out of political life bene- **fited by it. They have all had less sub- ‘*stance financially, and less moral stand- ne and character.“ There is some truth in this, but it needs qualification. The class of thrifty politicians, of which Bram and Joux SHERMAN are typical members, emerge from political life much richer than when they entered it; while, on the other hand, ambitious mil- | nominating convention, and pays cash for it, will have to use up several years’ sal- aries in indemnifying himself. There is doubtless much diversity of opinion as to the accuracy of Mr. PERRY’S statement that people retire from political life ‘‘with less moral standing and character.” Per- haps the Mayor of the city could offer a competent and interesting judgment ou this branch of the subject. A REPUTATION AT STAKE. I was off on leave at the time, and had “g right to do as 1 pleased, civil-service “cranks to the contrary notwithstand- “ing,’? says HieGuns, the notorious Ap- pointment Clerk of the Treasury. The appointment of Hreerns and other ring tools had intensified the struggie for reform within the Democratic party of Maryland. It had put Mr. CLEVELAND’S administration practically on the side of the ring machine in Baltimore, and against the Baltimore Reform League, the Maryland Civil-Service Association and other organizations that were trying to rescue the Maryland Democracy from the control of Baltimore boodlers and ballot-box stuffers. The prosecution and conviction of a.number of the latter brought on another heated contest be- tween the ring and the reformers in the recent Democratic primaries. It was to the work he and other Federal officials had done in these primaries that Hid- Gains referred so defiantly. He and Special Agent Manon, Naval Officer RasIN and Indian Inspector THomas threw themselves into the fight openly, and by their manipulation of the Baltimore cau- cuses captured the Maryland Democratic Convention and put through the ring slate, platform and all. The principal ‘‘civil-service crank” to whom he refers so contemptuously, is one GROVER CLEVELAND, President of the United States, who on thel4th day of July, 1886, issued an executive order in which he said of Federal office-holders: They have no right, as office-holders, to dic- tate the political action of their party associ- ates or throttle freedom of action within par- ty lines by methods and practices Walch per- vertevery usefuland justifiable purpose of party organization. The influence of Federal Office- holders should not be felt in the man- ipulation of political primary meetings and nominating conventions. The use by these officials of their positions to compass their selection as delegates to political conventions is indesent and unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties and requirements of official place will also prevent their assuming the act- ive conduct of political campaigns. For far less open and offensive violations of this order Mr. CLEVELAND has warned office-holders to their faces that they would be “flipped out.’ A Republican District-Attorney in Pennsylvania was ‘*flipped out’’ for making campaign speeches. District-Attorney BENTON of Missouri was suspended on the charge of having spoken against civil-service re- form. A Cincinnati Pension Examiner was “flipped out“ a few weeks ago for speaking disrespectfully of the President. But Hiooms not only speaks disrespect- fully, but defiantly flaunts his contempt of both the President and civil-service reform. Mr. CLEVELAND 5 strongest point before the people is a popular impression that he is a man of his word, firm and fearless enough to offend, not only political bosses but even public opinion in adhering to his convictions and pledges. Whetber he is that kind of man or a mere dickerer for delegations with low-grade politicians, is to be decided by his action on this Balti- more case. HIGGINS has put the reputa- tion of the President of the United States on trial, and the question now in the public mind is whether that reputation will be snuffed out by His, or Hiacins be “‘flipped out“ by the President. - WHEN Mr. BRapDLey, late Republican candidate for Governor, received the elec- tion returns, he said: “The Republicans, “I think, have won. By the God above us, the Democrats shall not count us out, as they have said they would do.” It seems that Mr. BrRapDLEY has not only been counted out, but voted out; and it is now time for him to open the phials of his con- suming wrath. In the meantime there is some curiosity to know what particular brand ofruin and devastation he has in store for his Democratic neighbors. enn ... — Oe Nord has done so much to defeat appropriations.” says Secretary WHITNEY, as the willingness of the (Navy) Depart- ment to spend money upon worthless things.“ This is a well-stated truth that is **worthy of all acceptation.” The peo- ple want to know how their appropriated money is expended; and when it is wasted or put to the wrong use they want to know the reason why. It is the present duty of the Secretary of the Navy to practice economy, to get the most for money ex- pended, and to avoid the compromising indorsement of BL CHANDLER. —— — r = wr THE President’s Western visiting list is now pretty nearly completed, and it is rather late for small towns with uncertain booms to be cataloguing their attractions. Moreover, invitations whioh he cannot ac- cept will merely embarrass the President and do no good. The President has al- ready had painful experience that in dis- tributing offices among the faithful he makes more enemies than friends, because there are not half enough offices to go round, andin touring the country he will be called to face the difficulty that even with the best good will thereis not enough President to go round. „Tun Republican party,” says the New York Tribune, ‘‘stands just where it stood in 1884.” There appears to be no good reason for doubting this. ‘The failure of tion. Aman who buys a legislature or a tions. the Republican party to keep up with the procession of liberal and enlightened ideas is the chief source of its misfortunes and humiliation. It stands too entirely still, while the tide of progress sweeps by it, and some of its trusted leaders are still fighting the battles of the civil war, with every apparent determination to keep it up till we reach the threshold ofa new century. The old party takes too little note of the flight of time. It should inject more of the almanac into its delibera- Virginia Democrats Astray. From the Courier-Journal. Yet in convention assembled the Democrats of Virginia, deluded by the money devi! and sacrificing principle for expediency, declare for free whisky and free tobacco as against free clothing and free tools, and then putin a beggarly plea for subsidies fromthe Fed- eral Government for State schools. Ifthe Democratic party can be committed to this doctrine—if it will demand Federal assistance and supervision of State schools, and will to a people asking clothes and food and shelter, offer instead whisky and tobacco, then there remains little distinction between the two great parties. If Virginia can be saved to Democracy only by surrendering the true principles of the party the sooner these facts are honestly acknowledged and a just recognition made of the truth and wisdom and justice of the tenets of the Republican party the better. A victory won under the flag of the enemy has no value. Theday will come when the people of Virginia will recog- nize these facts, and they will thenreturn to the true Democratic fold. Pride That Needs Humbling. From the Denver News. It is known that out of the construction of the Central Pacific has grown in California a class of railroad barons whose wealth and aristocratic surroundings to-day find no counterpart even in Europe. Impudence has grown with their riches, and its culmination is seen in the statement of President Stan- ford. It his evident opinions are shared to any extent by these two companies it would be just on the part of the Government to take such action as would compel these haughty millionaires to get on their knees and beg for mercy. To be told thatthe generosity of the people has been meanness and their bounty an outrage is too much even for a long-en- during and long-suffering public to bear. The humbling of Mr. Stanford would be a national blessing. Dickering the Surplus. From the New York WORLD. . It is shameful that the need exists for such expedients to relieve the Treasury of the et- fects of excessive taxation. To dicker with bondholders and pay them a high premium for surrendering obligations not due for years, in order to relieve a plethora of money extorted needlessiy from taxpayers, is to burlesque statesmanship. There is but one just and busi- ness-like way to deal with this question. The surplus should be stopped by reducing the taxes that produce it. And the President would have done far better to call Congress together to perform this plain duty than to sanction a device that must be extravagant to succeed, but which is almost certain to prove futile.

He viewed the terrible scene with the utmost composure. It was only with the greatest difficulty the enraged throng could be restrained from lynching him. He is ason of Capt. Woolfolk by the latter’s first wife. His statement was that he was aroused by groans and the sound of biows coming from his parents’ room, half-brother, Richard, rushed into the room while he jumped from a window in his night clothes aud ran tothe house ot a negro, 300 or 400 yards distant, to have them arouse the neighborhood. HE WAS AFRAID TO RETURN, lest he would also be killed, but did go back half an hour later, only to find them all dead. No help ha arrived. He found his stepmother | ing with her head on the bed and body on the floor,and he raised her and placed her on the bed. This was how he got blood on hisclothes. In walking through the house he stepped in a pool of biood and left — — 1 on the r. His clothing was fished out of the well covered with blood and brains and hesays he changed clothes after lifting his stepmother’s body upon the bed. He attempts to give no reason, how- ever, for throwing the clothing in the well. While circumsfantial evidence points to bit ‘ y as the ofthe crime, there is no positive evidence ainst him. A ver- dict was returned by the Coroner’s jury hold- ing bim responsible for the killing. It was held — . — * after the * nad et slipped m awe : * w — removed to Atlanta, as lynching was feared. A e fee offered by him to nudge —— T. Nesbitt to defend him, but as yet the attorney has not consented to take the case. He has, however, advised Woolfolk to say nothing to reporters about the crime, and the prisoner is carrying out his instructions. ) THE FUNERAL. Yesterday the funeral of the family was held and the nine dead bodies were hauled in nine separate hearses to Rose Hiil Cemetry and in- terred. There were fully 3,000 ple at the Cemetery. Mrs. Edwanis, a -sister of the risoner, Mr. Howard, the aged father of Mrs. oolfolk and his sons les and John were all present and 0 ir very hard. The — ay n is that Woolfolk committed the deed to gain possession of his father’s aon nn for himself and two sisters, all children by the first wife. There is also 4 theory that he attempted to criminally assault his haif-sister Pearl, as he ts alleged to have once before attempted to do, and killed the family to hide his crime.

Sullivan and His Championship Diamond Belt—Sporting News in General —Topics of the Turf—Base Ball Clips and Chips. When, some weeks ago, the Post-Dispatch published the fact that President Von der Ahe, of the Browns, would make a demand upon the American Association for a percentage of 50 per cent of the gate receipts of all games in which the st. Louis Club might play, and failing to secure this would jump with his club, loek, stock and barrel, into the National League, President Spaiding of the Chicagos came to thefront with his ‘views on the subject. He then said that if St. Louis desired admission into the League she would have to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE instead of the League paying her. He denied in a general way that the League or any of the representatives of that organ- ization bad made overtures of any kind at any time to the St. Louis management, paying special attention to the alleged fact that St. Louis had been offered money to jump the Association. This talk from Spalding to those who are aware of the facts of the case deems quite absurd. Mr. Spalding has evi- dently forgotten that for quite along time there was deposited in a certain bank of New York a check worth something over $10,000 which could have been the property of Mr. Von der Ahe had he desired to fill the conditions by which it would become hisown. These conditions, as every one can the others. A long- © weapon which been that the St. Louis manager would, at the ear- liest opportunity, take his superfine aggrega- tion of base ball talent and with it join the ranks of the National League.

Seven entered the 2:20 list, while four who were already in fin- ished their miles faster than they ever did be- fore in public. The fastest heat of the meet- ing goes to the credit of Johnston, he having finished the third heat in the free-for-all pace in 2:11%. Patron trotted the fastest heat at the meeting, getting a reco of 2:14%. Thirty- nine heats, counting Bell ’s 2- year-old per- formance in 2:27%, were trotted at the meeting and thirteen paced.

Brown decided that he would never call upon his horse Troubadour to start in another race. This conclusion was reached when it was found after the race that both forelegs of the magnificent horse had given way, and that the cause of his swerving so badly {n the home stretch was notduetothe giving way of the leg that has been troubling him so long, but to trouble with the other. Hereafter he will be used for breeding purposes only. Patron is about 15% hands, of great sub- stance and remarkable muscular develop- ment, — — in stifles and quarters. is short back, broad loin, closely ribbed and deep carcass give him the appearance of a wear-and-tear kind ofa horse that will take hard work and improve on, as bis rapid de- velopment as a colt and yearly improvement have demonstrated. If his level, pure gait should be criticised it would seem that he travels too wide behind, but he seems to be perfect in balance and poise, carrying his speed to the finish. Bob Allen, E. J. Baldwin’s assjstant trainer, has this to say of Miss Ford: That filly isa uzgzie to all ot us. We can't account for her ntrums except on the ground of downright meanness. In fact, she is as mean and sulky as she can be, and runs good and kind only when she feels like it. In her races in Cali- fornia she was the same way, and she has more than onc’ taken a sulking fitin a race, losing a lot of ground, and then coming with a tremendous rush to the stretch, won r all. But it is a risky »busi- ness to back her, because you can’t tell when she will be in the mood to give you arun for yourmoney. Whenshe ran against Hanoyer she made a bad impression, but the fact of it was she sulked, and that settled it; but after sulking and apparently going to lose second money, she took it into her head to go along about her business, and landed second money easily enough. As to being off, there is nothing in that; she is as good now, I think, as she ever was. Volante, too, appears to be do- ing finely at present.’’ ‘ D. D. Withers, owner of the colt Laggard that beat Hanover, says: ‘‘He is a siuggish eolt that needs a lot of riding, and can rate along over a distance very well, but he hasn’t speed enou h to beat good ones. Why, just see; he h seventeen unds the best of Hanover—that’s no credit to him. Besides, look at the time, 2:14—that’s no race. Han- over’s amiss. A horse must have alimit; he’s been kept at it too long.’’ Laggard is by Uncas, and Mr. Withers thus relates how he got hold of the stallion: ‘‘Well, I had followed Jnoas for years, hoping to get him. You sec, I always liked the colt. I had seen his brother, Wanderer, run, and knew the family was a first-class one. I saw Uncasasa yearling, at Alexander's farm, and made up my mind to buy him. When the time came for the Wood- burn sale of 1877 I went to Kentucky for that „ and stopped at Keene Richards’. Mr. chardsand Mr. Robert Johnson accompa- nied ine to the sale in a wagon belonging to Mr. Richards. Like horsemen, we all to — andt ~~ driver suddenly found mistaken road and landed us in Versailles. We were six miles from Wood- burn, and the time before the sale was short. When we reached there the sale had begun, and I found that I had lost Uncas. Mr. Lorii- lard bought him for $8,100. I watched his career closely. He was a splendid horse. wanted him, and when Mr. Lorillard him for sale T got him at fast.

It took some time for the wheelmen to get into a presentable condition for attending the service. They were white from head to foot, as the rock road was about afoot deep in Iimestone dust. The riders were not in a very plous frame of million ruts ble prostrabing onethe way out. The 12-mile ride from the city was conduc with unusual decorum. On forming in front of the Missouri Club house, Capt. Brewster réad the special rules forthe day, which were to ect that — short of a handle- bar breaking header would be considered a ti- fication for even the — aed pg — and that when a ‘‘road hog’’ crowded a rider off into brush, he was to be thanked with a ‘‘God bless you.’’ The firstrule was almost broken when the line reached Vandeventer avenue, andthe wheels had to be carried through the network of obstructions. ON THE GROUNDS. The exercises at the grounds did not prove at all irksome, as cigars and watermelons were On sale near the tent, and whenever the sermon seemed dry there was no objection to stepping down to the melon counter and getting some moist refreshment. After din- ner some returned to the city, but the others remained and held a song service under a big tree. It was quite a surprise to the deacons and elders to see the athletic young fellows in shorts and flannel shirts singing one hymn after another with effect. ‘‘Well, well,“ said a good sister, toa Fosr-Disrarch reporter, Who would have believed it? We thought you came out to satisfy your curiosity and here you are run- ning opposition to our choir. We would like you to come up on the platform and sing with us, only we're a little afraid your knicker- bockers might disturb the peace of the meet- ing. The ride home was much more easily made, a dirt road leading to the Olive street road be- ing discovered. e Notes. scouting to a morning paper, there is a new f club in the city, the League Ramblers, who went over te Belle- ville yesterday. This will be pleasant news to the St. Louis Cycle Club, which is quite a flour- ishing organization.’’ Percy Stone left for Cleveland Saturday even- ing to complete his training for the three days’ tournament which begins Thursday. He has been doing some hard practicing on the Union Park track which is the only avail- able training ground in the city. He has been training in company with Harry Gordon, The two did some pretty — 1 riding consid- ering the track, and knocked off the miles in 8:03 and 3:05 right along. They also rode three miles in 10:03 and five miles in 18:00. Har stayed right with Np in all the rides, an the colleague of Rhodes and Ives couldn’t shake the little fellow off. Perey realizes that he is not in good condition, and says that if he gets anything at Cleveland, it will pe a pleas- ant surprise to him. Re SULLIVAN WILL FIGHT. Thoroughly Recovered. Macon remarks: Monday night (to-night) is the night set down for the presentation of the champion belt of the world’’ to John L. Sullivan, and the stage of the Boston Theater the place of its presentation. Elaborate de- scriptions of the belt have been published. Sheedy says that it is the finest and costliest affair of the kind ever given to a fighter, while those who are opposed to Pat and Sully say that its intrinsic value is not nearly so great as represented. It matters but little to the public whether it be worth $1 or $1,000,000. It Is a symbol of Sullivan’s supremacy asa pogilist, and they know that that supremacy as never been successfully controverted. Once or twice it was endangered, but even then it was Sullivan’s neglect of his condition, and not the prowess of his foes, that im- perilied it. I had a long talk with Sheedy the other evening, in which he told me that Sulli- van was once more an abstainer from liquor, and that in September he and the big feliow would cross the herring pond, and once in England, he would challenge the winner of the coming international Oght. Thus, you see, the force of circumstances, sometimes called „the logic of event,s’’ das compelled a change of Mr. Sheedy’s programme. A short time since he announced that is as well as it ever was, while he had doubts as to ite perfect recovery when he made his former statement. There’s many a slip be- tween the cup and the lip, and there’s no knowing what may happen in the next two months; but it Kilrain sails for Engiand to fight Jem Smith, and Sullivan follows or pre- cedes to fight the winner, Ithink it is safe to say there will be more excitement in pugilistic circles in the next six months than ever was known before. However, Monday nightis not far off, and then weshall, perhaps, know more definitely Sully's intentions. Fought to a Draw. New Ton, August 8.—The long talked-of prize-fight between Johnny Reagan and Tom Henry came off this morning early. The mea fought thirty-eight rounds. The fight, which was declared a draw, was broken up bya mob. The scene of the battie, which will long be remembered by those who witnessed the affair, was fifty miles up _ the Hudson River. Both men were in the pink of condition. The speculation on the result of the mill has been unusually brisk for some time past. an was the favorite, but Hen- ry’s backers stick to their man and upto the time of the fight took all the even bets they could get.

SCENES FROM SIX CAMPAIGNS. / charles Williams, the Famous English War Correspondent, on a Lecture Tour. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTCH. New YORE, August 8.—Charles Williams, the London Daily Chronicle’s famous war corre- spondent, was a passenger on the Hamburg Line steamer which arrived Saturday. Mr. Williams comes to this country to lecture. His subject will be ‘‘Scenes From Six Cam- paigns.’’ He brings with him the results of his experiences and observations as special correspondent on several London newspapers, which he will endeavor to place before the American public in an attractive and in- structive way. He will use seventy-seven lime- light photographs of celebrated men and places, most ot which have never been pub- licly exhibited before. He will speak of the Franco-German war, the Russo-Turkish campaign, the defense of Constantinople, the Oandabar campaign, the campaign of the Nile, and the Servo-Bulgarian war. The Post-DIs- PATCH correspondent saw Mr. Williams at his hotel yesterday. He isa tall, well-built and well-preserved man of 49. He has silvery gray hair, playful blue eyes, anda fresh, sun- browned complexion, the result of his long years of service on the remote frontiers of is dead and Archibald Forbes is married and retired, Williams is the first specialamong the En- glish war correspondents. He is a fluent talker, a graphic writer and besides is IN LOVE WITH HIS PROFESSION and hissubject. The reporter learned from Mr. Williams that this was his only visit to America since he was a young man, when he was a member of a filibustering expedition in Nicaragua. He became the special corre- spondent of the London Standard in 1859, and was senior ‘‘special’’ on that paper until January 1, 1870, when he became the editor of the Evening Standard. Two years later he was back again in his old position. He was one of the first two correspondents in Stras- burg after the fall of that city in 1870. Seven years later he went to Armenia as cor- respondent on the staff of Ghazi Moukbtar Pacha, and published an account of his experience entitled, „The Armenian Campaign. He also served as special correspondent at the defense by Moukhtar Pacha of the lines of Constantinople and was with the headquarters of Gen. Skobe- loff when the treaty of San Stefano wus signed. In November, 1879, he went t Afgbanistan and visited Candahar, and later wrote Some Notes on Frontier Transportation in India,’’ the suggestions in which have since been adopte by the home Government. Mr. Will- jams was in the Soudan expedition, and his criticism of Sir Charies Wilson's management of the expedition in relief of Gen. Gordon at- tracted wide attention. Mr. Williams gives three reasons for GORDON'S BETRAYAL AT KHARTOUM. He blames Gordon himself in the first place; inthe second place he blames Gladstone for delaying the relief expedition from July until September, and finaily lays the blame on Sir Charies Wilson, the commander ofthe expe- dition. Wilson, said Mr. Williams yester- day, ‘‘wasaman of splendid courage, as was frequently shown. He had, however, done no military work except as a lieutenant, and had no capacity for prompt military decision and energy. In spite of Wolseley’s explicit orders he duwdled away almost three days. If he had started July 21, he would not have been de- layed by getting stuck on a sandbank, the river at the time anew yA getting lower. He would then have reached Khartoum on the night of July 24, or the morning of July 25. Gordon was killed on the morning of July 26, Wilson, by his own statements, lost sixty- seven hours, and even if he had been fifty hours behind, be would have saved Gordon. Mr. Williams said that Farag Pacha wus the man who opened the gates of Khartoum to the enemy, and that if he could be caught he would be executed forthwith. Skobeloff, the @Pussian General, the Sultan of Turkey, and many other Eastern potentates, are friends of the correspondent, and his pictures of them will interest all Americans. The Sultan, he says, is a timid, unprogressive man. he young blood in Turkey is looking forward to the time when Sala-Ud-Dien, the Sultan’s youngest brother, will be Sultan. He is an active, war-like and intelligent young man of 24, and indeed there is a superstitution in the land that prosperity cannot come except when Sala-Ud-Dien is on the throne.

NEW YORK, August 8.—A shabbily dressed man about 50 years old, who had been drink- ing heavily, hailed a Bowery cabman at Sixth streetand Bowery about noon on Saturday and gave hima silver dollar. Then he climbed into the cab with a 40-year-old woman, who was with him and who was not quite so drunk as he was. Drive us to Bellevue Hospital, said the passenger, as he slammed the coach door; ‘‘we want to put up there.’’ As he had his fare all right the cabman did not ask any more uestions, but drove to the hospital. Hoth his engers were unconscious when the coach reached the hospitaliess than half an hour afterward. On the floor of the coach lay an empty whisky bottle. There was nothing to indicate who the two inebriates were, and the man was removed to the cells of the male alcohol ward and the woman was locked up in the female alcohol ward, It took Dr. Wright, the hos- pital surgeon, five hours to sober them. The man came to first, annd said that he was John Reid, a car-driver, of No. 220 Kast Sixty-fifth street, and that the woman was his wife, Mary. He said that Mary haa been drank, and on Saturday he concluded he would take her to the hospital and have a doctor prescribe for her. o appeared to be much astonished when told that he himself Was the drunker of the two when they got to the hospital.

The budget of re- sponses given to-day contains a variety of opinions which may enlighten the questioner and others who are searching for points on this important topic. A Widow Likes Em.

So, Dorothea, kiss Charlie whenever you get a chance, is the advice of a widow. I take this opportunity of asking a question which has been bothering me of late: Is it proper fora young lady to kiss a young gen- tleman whom she is not engaged to or never expects to be—on account of losing a bet? Please answer and relieve a girl in a worse di- lemma than Dorothea's. PHYLLIS. Rose Gives a Womanly Answer. To the Editor af the Post- Dispatch: St. Louis, August 6, 1887. Poor Dorthea! I reaily do feel sorry for her, if she is whatshe pretends to be, a young, in- nocent girl, anxious to know and do what is right, andI aminclined to think she is, and not aman, as Not Yet a Spinster’’ suspects. When I was 181 had just such feelings as those expressed in her letter. Ah, how used to dream of the coming man, loving me 80 well that my slightest wish would be unto bim alaw, only I did not think of denying him a kiss, both of greeting and part- ing, for then I did not think of Kisses as anything but expressions of love and knew nothing of passion. It may be that Dorothea did not until she read the answers which ber letter has received, andI can imagine her as being more than ever embarrassed when Charlie kisses her now. It really is to be re- retted that such suggestions have been made. agree with ‘‘Catbarine’’ that its indis- criminate treatment by thoughtless corre- spondents is liable to destroy the safeguards of an bonorabie and ancient custom, by sub- jecting it to ridicule,’’ or such light treatment as ‘‘Violet’’ gives it, who talks of the niceness of ayette Park on moonlight with a nice young man,or Bessie,“ a youn man that spends money on her should be paid for it; or, in other words, she sells her kisses for an even- ing at Uhrig’s and a dish of icecream, or less. I hardly think a gentleman would lose bis respect for his sweetheart when she kisses bim at hisown request or occasionally gives him a voluntary kiss, but I know I should not respect her myseif did she allow other men than her betrothed to kiss her. Kissing is sometimes dangerous, but if you trust Charlid (and yourself) kiss him. It surely cannot harm you aad may do you both good. In case of the engagement being broken, will it not be pleasant to think of? It youreaily love him, uo matter what comes between, you can never lose all the tender regard you now feel for him, and if you are ever another man’s wife you will forget all about Charlie“ and his kisses; and if you remain a spinster 1. imagine (for I am neither a wife nora spinster, buta * lady ot some experience in affaire du cut) it would certainly be a pleasure, maybe a doubtful one, but still a pleasure, to think of some one who once loved you, once thought you ‘‘the dearest, sweetest giri that ever lived.’’ And now, my dear girl, one word in conclusion. Do what you think right in the sight of God and He will bless and pro- tect you. Will some gentleman who would not marry a giri that would allow him to kiss her after their engagement give us a few lines on this subject? ROSE. Prepare for the Dreary Future. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: My advice to Dorothea is, if Charlie wishes to kiss her and they are engaged, as she says they are, to let him have all the kisses he wants. For if he is like most of the Charlies I know she will get very few after she is mar- riedto him. And she can look back in after pease and think how very sweet it would be to e kissed as of old; but, alas, * RS. K. H.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I am an interested reader of the answers in- tended for Dorothea. I notice that she has been pretty severely criticised. I donot write to make her any suggestions, but to offer her my sympathy. I donot know who she may be, butI do know ‘‘Dorothea’’ has ex- — my sentiments to a dot. Like her, am engaged. Ihave had just the same ex perience, the same misgivings, the same remorse of conscience, and ke her i always want to do what is right. I have inguired among several of my girl friends, and sofaras one can geta candid opinion from girls on those subjects, I have discovered a few more ‘‘Dorotheas.’’ I might have founda great many more if my circle of confidential friends were larger. In the world of women we will undoubtedly find a numberof unblushing and strong-minded ‘*Margarets.’’ But takethe girls who have been carefully trained, whose mothers have ever strivento keepthem pure-minded and have succeeded, when a girl of this class bo- comes Pan ge she will find it impossible to submit wiilingly to kisses and caresses, and should she ever do so during the engaged“ period, cannot help feeling a great deal of un- easiness, if not sharp remorse of conscience. I want Dorothea to know that there are a few, at least, who appreciate her situation. I do not know what she thinks of the various answers. I can ouly say that whenever I read those favorable to permitting demonstrations of affection I felt shocked and disgusted, and when I read those tothe contrary 1 felt pleased and en- couraged. DUBITAS. St. Louis, August 6, 1887. A Short and Pithy Answer. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: DEAR Sin—I am becoming very much inter- ested in Dorothea and the answers her ques- tion received, and the only one that corre- sponds with my views is that of ‘‘An Admiring Reader. I think An Admiring Reader’’ is ex- perienced in the ways of mankind, or perha A A.R. ismarried, tor lam certain she speaks from experience. A girl’s conduct should be a little reserved, but not enough to be termed prudish. A young lady that will allow a gen- tleman to kiss her unrestrainedly and will kiss him in return only lowers herseif in his esti- mation. VENUs Sr. CLAIRE.

St. Louis, August 6, 1887. a ——— A Practical Young Bachelor. To the Editor of the Post-Disvatch: The subject spoken of in Dorothea’s letter is certainly one of extreme delicacy and a news- paper is hardly the proper manner in which to obtain good authority on so important & especially when the answers are question, made by persons whose identities are un- known. In my opinion Miss Dorothea has alread gone too far to seek advice with much profit to herself and her only recourse now is to aid her intended at as early a date as possi- e. At this period of her engagement I think, it she wishes to gain and retain the love, respect and esteem of ber prospective lord and mas- ter, without any serious detriment or unfore- seen complications to her future happiness, she should be very careful to guard against extremes and bear in mind thatall things are good when partaken of with temperance and moderation. Ido notapprove of either kissing or hug- ging, and, in my opinion, any young lady who will willingly and with her consent permit herself to be kissed or hugged, either before or aiter the engagement, certainly endangers ber character and good name, besides open- ing up the avenues of criticism and scandal- ous talk. This applies to young ladies who would die before they would be kissed or hugged in com- pany, but who willingly consent when they think no one will see them, and just therein is where the danger les. if the young man proves worthy of her confidence, nothing seri- ous may come of her indiscretion; but the chances are that he will confide in some chum or companion intimations or remarks that will lead to her being known as the young lady that can be kissed and hugged secretly. Such remarks do no credit to any young lady, but, on the contrary, cause her much embarrass- mentand annoyance. She may possibly make some new and good resolution and resolve to profit by her experience, but does she? I dare say, at the very next opportunity she will do — sume thing over again, only with more ardor. To + that the youth and maiden shall not kiss before marriage isto say that the flowers should not bloom in the springtime, but in the fall or winter. Youth is acknowledged to be the springtime of life and life to be — 14 must be entered into heartily as we reach the various periods ot our being. Bearing in mind my first remarks about the good things being partaken of with temper- ance and moderation, I think that kissing can only be allowed on the part of the young man, and a stolen kiss at that. A stolen kiss is pos- sessed of rare and excellent flavor, while it does not in any way lessen the dignity or moral worth of the young lady. She may and should issue some very slight reprimand to such conduct, sufficient to show that such ac- tions are wholly on his part and not on hers. Acting on the impulse of the moment this will require courage and strength of mind.A stolen kiss cannot be said to have been given, nei- ther does it last long enough to kindle a fire of passion. I hold and maintain that a kiss or embrace is no absolute proof of a young man's future in- tentions, and while they may act as an incent- ive to a stronger and deeper affection, if al- lowed without reluctanee will lead to greater liberties. So quietly, sécretly and gently ar the feelings worked upon that all the bonds o. propriety are loosened before the facis are realized. In order to avoid all unforeseen complica- tions, annoyances and embarrassments and gain and retain, the love, respect, esteem and bonorofall, a young lady should never will- ingly or with her consent permit herseif to be kissed. The responsibility of the kissing should always rest with the young man. The first kiss, the first hug or embrace settles the future actions on the part ef the young man, and as the young lady receives or rejects the first overtures, so will her future be strewn with roses or crossed by mortifications, annoy- ances and embarrassments. Hugging can not, in my opinion, be too strongly denounced. The motives which prompt such actions are, to say the least, unholy, and if indulged in to excess by per- sons who are not strong in moral character, will very likely result disastrously. No young lady can permit herself to be hugged and carressed by a young man and at the same time expect to hold and retain the same high esteem and respect possessed be- fore. Hugging, to sey the least, is demoral- ing, and instead of calling forth holy and noble thoughts, which go to make better men and better women only tends to develope the low animal instincts, which will eventu- ally debase the mind and destroy the purity of the soul.

An Innecent Young Man Speaks, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: If your readers will unpucker their lips for a moment and turn away from the Dorothea kissing-squabbie I would like to ask if itis right and safe for an innocent young man to permit a girl to lay her head on his shoulder and gaze up into his eyes with a dying-calf ex- pression?

New YORK, August 8.—A barouche drawn by two spirited horses stopped in front of police headquarters Saturday night and a fashiona- bly dressed woman about45 years old alight- ed. She asked to be shown into the Detective Bureau. She appeared to be greatly agitated, and intimated that her business was of the greatest importance. Detective Sergeant Frinck, who was in command of the bureau, received ber, and she atonce begged him to permit her to see her son, who was locked up in one of the cells down-stairs. The sergeant assured hershe must be mistaken, when she showed bim the following dispatch which she had received an bour before: **‘DEAR MAMMA:-Come to lice headquarters. Lam restrained of my liberty and am in troabie. 7 AN! The lady explained that her name was Annie Verdell, and that ‘‘Manny’’ was her son, Emanuel Kohnstamm, by her former husband. She boarded with Mrs. Sarah Selxas, at No. 35 Perry street, while herson livesin Brook- lyn. Sergeant Frinck said the young man might be in the Tombs and thither she went. Afew minutes later she returned, however, having been unsuccessful. The wires were then put in operation between the Central office and police headquarters in Brooklyn. Aftera whileit was ascertained that Fa Kohnstamm was a prisoner at Gravesend, L. I and that Brooklyn headquarters was meant in his dispatch to his mother. The young man is the son of the head of the firm of Helman, Kohnstamm & Co., paint merchants, at 126 Chambers street. His father died some years ago, leaving a vast estate, RUNNING INTO THE MILLIONS. When Emanuel reaches his Alst year, some time this fall, this fortune will be divided a mon four children, of whom the youth Is the youngest. The mother at once started for Gravesend accompanied by her husband, Emauel’s step-father. They ascertained that the young man was locked up on the charge of embezziement preferred on Friday evening by astranger giving his name as John Dunn. Kohnstamm is fond of sporting and is a reg- ular attendant at the races. Fri- day afternoon he was at the races at Brighton, accompanied by two young men of his acquaintance. They ail had pretty fair luck until the next-to the last race, when they lost heayily. Before the last race some friend of the party advised them to be heavily on Sabaltern, and Kohnstamm par- ticularly was told to place on the horse. He did not do so. Subaltern won and paid heavily in the pools, and the trio started away from the track disgusted at the opportunity they missed. They had not left the inclosure, however, before u stranger accosted tnem and asked Kohnstamm what he done with the boodle he had gotten on the $30 he gave him to invest on the last race. Puzzied at the demand the young man said: ‘*You did not give me any money to invest, and, besides, Iam not a scalper.’’ ARRESTED. The stranger then called up a colored man, who said that Kohnstamm was the man to whom the stranger had given the money. Notwithstanding all remonstrauces the stranger hailed an officer and young Kobn- stamm was taken to Gravesend and locked up in jail. He remains there still. His step- father, who is very wealthy, desired to §° the young man’s bail and have him released, but as he was a non-resident and had no property in Queens County, the justice refused to ac- cept him as bondsman. Ihe jailor, however, was induced to see that his young millionaire prisoner was comfortbly situated. This morn- ing his uncle, Emil V. Kohnstamm, another member of the firm who is also a great proper- ty owner in this city and on Long Island, will be present when his nephew is arraigned and secure his release. Young Kohnstamm has a good education, having finished a colle- giate course abroad. He is expected to marry a highly accomplished and weaithy young lady of Brooklyn soon after he becomes of age. His mother believes that the case is a black mailing scheme on the part of sharpers who are aware of the prospects of the young man in the near future, thinking that rather than let his arrest and ee gag — be made pub- lic, they ceuld bleed his family ? ob ing hush money. The estate of the Kohnstamms includes property in Leonard, Centre, Pearl, Worth and Bedford streets, Maiden Lane and the large building at No. 754 Broadway, and is estimated at over $3,000,000.
