Epecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, June 9.—Since the protest at the Hyde Park meeting against the compensa- tion clauses for the Government has beenin con- sternation, Then came the de- mand, and 3 peremptory one it was, that the licensing clauses be entirely erased from the bill. This has driven the Tory managers to desperation, and they have in a semi-panic decided to abandon them altogether. Their organs among the press seek to cover their retreat with little avail. The public will understand their motives. Itisnow possible that the opposition may press the licensing clauses, which meet with the approval of the great mass ofthe temperance people and atthe same time move to omit the compensation pro- visoes. This would complete the confusion of the Conservativeg, and might lead to serious consequences forthe Government. It is evi- dent that upon this local government pill the fortunes of the Ministry will be made or lost. With dissension in their own ranks and all the possibilities of a Unionist revolt on the details of the measure the Government is not happy. The hopeful among the Liberals are notso confident ata prospect ofa compromise with the Liberal Unionists on the Irish question as they were a week ago. Mr. Gladstone’s contemptuous language with regard to Mr. Chamberlain’s Birmingham proposals, terming them moon- shine unless they were indorsed by the Gov- ernment, the growing unpopularity of their moves and the failure ofthe meeting with Sir William Harcourt, have dissipated the rising hopes. JOHN BRIGHT’S CONDITION The report that Mr. Bright is out of danger is received with joy all over the country. The English people are not willing to let John Bright die. It is felt that such a mind is now needed in Parliament to point out the way for jarring factions. Although the latest advices from Rochdale show that he continues to im- prove, aprebensions are felt for the conse- quences of such a blow at his advanced age. While he is out of bed he is extremely weak and is troubled with persistent drowsiness. He is much fallen away in flesh and has lost his fiery aspect. PEACE PROSPECTS. Peace stays and seems bound to remain un- disturbed throughout Europe for the summer and probably for the remainder of the year. Now is the season for entering upon a cam- paign, but nobody seems willing if some are ready to begin. Russia has made her period- ical attack upon Turkey, with a vague hint at seizing Erzeroum, but her object is as usual to wring some-of the long-due war indemnity out of the depleted Porte, which will sooner or later succeed in raising another installment. The fears of an invasion of England have be- come preposterous and the shrieks of the Dau Telegraph are laughed at all around. The agitation, however, has done some good in stirring up the Government to more care for the defenses of the Empire which had fallen into neglect caused bya blind sense of secur- ity. Germany remains the local peace pre- server. With an Empexpr whose life hangs upon a thread, but who, with a heroism de- serving ot a long life, seeks to alleviate the burdens of the people by {naugurating a more liberal administration of affairs, Germany does not feel disposed to énter upon a war or to see others enter upon the path of slaughter. The fact that so far as known the resignation of Herr Von Puttkamer has caused no violent protest from his friends is attributed to the latest reports from Pottsdam that the Emperor is not mak- ing the progress that was expeeted on his re- moval to the Frederichshen Palace. It is said that the physicians are disappointed, and fears are expreseed that the disease is work- ing secretly. It is noticeable that these dis- couraging views prevail among those who are opposed to the Emperor’s.present policy, and the insinuation isthrown out that they are Playing a waiting game, looking for the gravest of events to restore their cause.

ARIS, June 9.— Considerable dis- appointment has been felt here this week by a. | artists. It was n- nounced in various papers that accord- ing to the annual custom President ‘ Oarnot would en- tertain the salon’ jury and prize-winners on Thuesday evening. As many American artists are prize winners they expected to receive invitations. It transpired, however, that only a few well-known French artists were in- vited. Apropos ofthe salon, a friend of the Post-DISPATCH correspondent was at the be- ginning of the week admitted to a private audience with President Carnot for the pur- pose of sketching him for the London Society Herald's caricatures. He was most amiably received by M. Carnot, who posed in various and graceful attitudes for his benefit. The President complained that though he liked pictures vastly and enjoyed the salon as much as any man, he had never been able to see the collection with any degree of comfort, because each time he had been there the place had been crowded by people who were anxious to see bim, and he had been rudely mobbed. His visitor suggested that he should go in disguise, and M. Carnot said that he had seriously thought of doing so. Go in blue spectacies and limp, advised his interlocutor. At this reflection on his enemy, Boulanger, President Carnot laughed. THE FTI OF FLOWERS. The biggest nit at the Fete of Flowers in the Bois de Boulogne was made by Countess Kes- sler, whose Victoria was most gracefully decorated with roses and Marguerites and a bunch of gardenias. The pale, aristocratic face of the Countess in this suberb floral Set - ting drew the admiration of the populace. Benzon, the noted London plunger is re- couping himself here and lounges at the Washington Club. He has plunged and lost considerably over his horees in French races. Kilworth, the animal which should have won the grand steeple-chase and was the public favorite, bolted at the stand and let him in fer 276,000 franc At the Washington Club the same night Benzon won 78,000 francs. Next night he made 32, 000 francs, the next 194,000, the following afternoon 26,000, and at night 140,000 francs. Messrs. Bertram, Vavadi, and other big players at this gambling resort were astounded, and they acknoWledged their mas- ter. He talks of making Paris his headquarters after he nas had arun through the United States. It any fraction of his fortune is left by that time he will probably do so. A PRIVATE CIRCUS. The first night at the Cirque Moliere drew a large crowd. Pantomime is the theatrical rage of the day. Cirgue Moliere is a species of private circus run by M. Moliere, one of the fashionables of Paris, for the amusement of himself and friends. M. Felicien Champsaur has invented a wonderfully clever performance en- titled The Fagged Out, in which Beauty, a doctress, Loufock, her valet, Fountain Fortune Lulu, Clowness, Miss Ad- vertisement, Joseph's Prudhomme, a type of propriety, and a host of other allegorical per- sonages Carry out the play, which may best be described as a modernization of the spirit of pantomime. Itwasa grand success and un- doubtedly A brilliant novelty. In addition to this production the programme includes a fine display of horsemanship by M. Moliere; young Soubie, son of the famous animal-painter, in some riding trick; a per- forming bear, Caviar, and its mistresse, Mlle. Alice Lavigne, together with a host of dancing and trapeze business and comicalities. The bouquet consisted of living shadows prepared by M. Roques, the clever editor of the Courier Francaise, in which nude figures of women threw their shadows in semi-obscurity on a white curtain. BOULANGIST NEWSPAPERS. Scores of new Boulangist newspapers have made their appearance, of which La Presse of Laguerre, and La Revison of Vergoin, are the most likely to survive. To the latter Alphonse Daudet has promised to contribute a serial called: ‘‘First Journey. The question is from what fund all these papers are started, but the finances of the National party here are veiled in mys- tery. SCORES OF SOIREES. At the theaters several new pieces have been given to empty houses, At the Nauveautes a comedy entitled Where is. My Daughter?’ is drawing a few chilly folks. People generally, however, und occupation at the scores of soirees which are given every night this week, the society week of the year. This afternoon Carlotta Patti gave a large musical reception, to which, among other members of the American colony, the whole Singer contingent was invited. It will be remembered that it was at Mme. Patti’s house that the present Duchess Decaszes frst met her husband. The Duchess Oamposelice and her mother, with a party, will leave Paris after the Grand Prix for their country | house at Blossville, near Trouville. This mag- nificent chateau was bought by the Duchess from Count Montebello after that gentleman had practically ruined ‘himself at the baccarat. table. War IA As usual at this time ot the year, the water supply of Paris has completely b down and the most civilized city in the world is mainly. dependent for ite water on the filthy Seine. In consequence the mortality from diphtheria and various fevers has increased to a degree which is seriously alarming visitors. It is the fashionable quar- effects of the water famine are being felt. ing what filthy stuff is supplied by the com- panies. Pasteur’s assistants are very busy. The Exhibition Theater has been taken by Grau; who has engaged Sarah Bernhardt and Damdlla for the last three months of the sea- son. Prior to that Sarah will appear in ‘what promises to be a great dramatic sensation of the year, namely, in the role of | — Q.

Among ball costumes may de noticed the one worn at Bochefoucauld by Duchesse de Monchy, a superb dress of silver grey tulle and satin strewn with roses and rose epaulettes anda garland of roses in her hair. Atthe same ball the Princess de Lystria, appeared in yellow tulleof which the skirt was covered with purple pinks. The hostess wore straw-colored tulle worked with gold and a diadem of diamonds. At the reception of the President and wife at the Italian Embassy the Marquise Menabrea —— a court dress of black peau-de-so1e, pening over the tablier of dark silk. On, this occasion the walls of the embassy draw- Ing rooms were lined with roses. CHARITY FAIRS. Fashionables have been throwing away what money they have left after plunging on Stuart for the Grand Prix at a variety of charity fairs, which are flourishing more vigorously this year than ever. The great ‘recent event of this kind was held at Countess Chambrun’s house for the benefit of the French schools in the East. Mile. De Parquet, who was acting for the absent Duchess of Chartres, sold some mediocre water- color drawings signed by that royal lady. She was dressed in foulard-striped white and cherry red. The Counte ontebello, who retailed franc bou- quets at 5 louis each, was magnificentin a blue silk poplin, out in ‘*directoire style with a triple collar. Countess Chambrun raffled under a huge parasol near a Turkish divan, wherein a Greek lady retailed Turkish coffee at a hundred times current rates. — 2 — GIFTS TO ROYALTY. The Princess of Wales Remembered—Mrs.. Vanderbilt at Court—London Gossip. Special — to the Post-Dispatch, ONDON, June 9.— There are at present on exhibition at Elk- ington’s, Regent street, several of the gifts presented to the | Prince and Princess of Wales on their silver wedding. The most beautiful is what is called the ‘‘Dreamer’s Table. It was pre- — sented to the Prin- cess by the City of Birmingham, and is all of silver, the work of Morel-Ladenil, the French artist, lately deceased, whose work is held to be equal to Cellini’s best. Like Cellini, he ex- ecuted his own designs, and this masterpiece had no other hand in its production. It can never be duplicated, for Birmingham bought the designs with the table and then destroyed them. The ‘‘Dreamer’s Table’’ haus three fig- ures seated at the base of its pedestal, wrapped in slumber, a poet, a husbandman, and a warrlor. On the silver surface of the table their dreams sweep past, the figured fantasies wrought with marvel- lous delicacy. Upright in the center of the table stands the figure of Somnia strey- ing poppies, and this Goddess of ams s said to be a shape of poetic loveliness. The antique Nef given by the Empress Eugenie is one of the most interesting of the silver- wed- ding presents. It is a silver ship with all sail crowded on and the deck fullof figures. On the first sailisthe coat-of-arms of George II. The jardiniere presented by the laborers on the Sandringham estate is also a handsome an- tigue of the George II. period. The Princess’ bridesmaids found for her in Paris a wonderful old silver book, an antique French work, in which they all wrote their names and pre- sented it in a casketofold Danish silver just the right size to hold it. The Princess’ daugnters gave her a silver statuette of her favorite horse Vira. The West-Indian Islands gave perhaps the most unique and beautiful present of all. It is a set of three dozen West Indian oyster sells of the most exquisite mother-of-peari imaginable, some of them being quite biack and others perfectly golden in color, while all the hues of the rainbow are repre- sented. They are mounted on silver feet. AN EXQUISITE BRIDAL CHAMBER. The most beautiful bridal chamber ever seen was one recently fitted up by an English Duke for his Bride. Her favorite flower isthe daf- fodil, and it predominates in the decorations. The ceiling and the walls are of a pale, grayish green and gold. Thefringe ana dado are of dull gold canvas silk, hand embroidered in white daffodils and narcisse. The chandeliers have for globes opaline glass in the same flower designs. The velvet carpet is gray green, sprinkled with golden flowers. The furniture is of heavy English oak, carved with winged love’s heads, and the draperies and window-hangings are of Spanish lace, in con- ventional designs of daffodils. MRS. VANDERBILT AT COURT. No Americans here ever created so greata social sensation in England as the Vanderbilts. All the Mackay splendors sink into insignifi- cance beside them, and their seige of London was short since the whole social world promptly surrendered to these monarchs of millions. Ofcourse a presentation at court was an important part of that success, and has been duly reported in the dispatches, which weretoo brief, however, to adequately convey the full gorgeousness of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s appearance on that important occasion, She led the line of the little batch of Americans under the wing of the United States Minister, Mr. Phelps, and her compatriots were so taken with her jewels that they had no eyes for the display of the Duchesses and Countesses that thronged the ante-room. Mrs. Vanderbilt wore a dress made with a demi-train of heavy crevette pink satin brocade with scattered bouquets of wild roses in gold and silver. The long court train was of cream-white velvet, lined throughout with pale yellow satin and bordered with a wide band of cream-white curled ostrich feathers. The pink bodice was long and pointed and draped with silver tissue, which was held in position with pale pink en- amel wild roses, whose foliage was crusted with diamonds. The silver tissue draperies were held at their juncture With the train by large diamond ornaments finished with pen- dent chains of diamonds and pearls. Her fan was of cream-white ostrich feathers, and the same sort were in her hair, held by a superb diamond aigrette. Her necklace of solitaires was estimated at $150,000 by the ladies who stood about her and those in her ears were said to represent $15,000 more. She wore bracelets and rings of the same precious stones, and even the gold han- dle of her fan was thickly encrusted with these jewels. She fairly blazed with these myriad gems, and even royalty, which usu- ally regards every one with equal indifference, opened its eyes and stared at the American woman's diamonds. A NEW THING IN WAISTCOATS. The-mnewest thing upon which affectionate wives, sweethearts and sisters may offer up their superfluous energies and overflowing The atest fashion dictates that waistcoata for evening wear shall be embroidered. Whist- coats of white and black satin, of white pique, black broadcloth and black diagonal are all worn, and to be complete must have a vine ofdelicate embroidery of the same color as the waistooat around the collar, down the front jast back of the button- holies, and turning the corner er- from the edge of the-vertical line of embroid- | ery. Each pocket has a special little design of its on. The work is done with fine firm Cor- ticelli silk in a close, compact little pattern in what is called laid work and French knots. The cloth for the waistcoat is obtained from the tailor before it iu ut, he marking out the direction required to be taken by the work, which, when itis @nished and nicely pressed, is returned to him to be cut and made. — — THE MEDEA, Launch of a Swift British Oruiser ; at Chatham—Her Speed and Armament. “Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, June 9.—The swiftest cruiser that has yet been bullt for the royal navy was launched to-day at Chatham and will be named the Medea. She is one of five fast cruisers that were laid down last year but only one other of the five is expeoted to be as fast asthe Medea. Marathon and Mel- pomene will steam about nineteen and three-fourth knots. The Medea and Medusa will steam twenty knots,or just over twenty-three land miles an hour, and for some time to come will be among the fastest war ships afloat. The Medea is officially de- scribed as a steel twin screw protected cruiser of two thousand eight hundred tons. Her demensions are: Length two hundred and sixty-five feet, breadth forty-one feet, depth twenty-three feet and with all her weight on board shé will have a free-board of rather more than twelve feet. Her hull is ot three-elghth inch Siemens- Martin steel. The stem, which is formed as a ram, and the stern-post and rudder-frame, are cast of bronze. The ship throughout basa double bottom and double sides and from end to end, about four feet below the water line, there is a protective steel deck. As further protection the hull ts divided into seventy-five water-tight compartments. The engines, each A which has a compartment to itself,are of ver- tical triple expansion type with inverted cyl- inders, and steam wiil be geaerated in four double-edged poilers, each with six corru- gated fiues and with forced draught supplied by eight doubled-sided fans. The propellers are of bronze and three- biaded. In action the ship will be worked from a tower on the poop or from another on the forecastie. Her extreme speed will be twenty knots. Her ordinary ocean speed will be from seventeen to eighteen knots and with four hundred tons of coal, which she is designed to carry, her radius of action at the speed of fen knots willbe about 9,200 miles. Her armainent will consist of six breech - loading guns in spon- sons and on central pivot mountings, nine Hotchkiss quick-firing machine guns of Nordenfelt pattern and six torpedo ejec- tors, two being on each broadside, one for- ward and six aft. The whole of the lighting will be provided by electricity and there will be three search lights of most powerful char- acter. It may be doubted whether sail power is of much use to such craft as the Medea. She will, however, carry two steel masts with fore and aft canvas, but will, of course, have no bowsprit. The estimated cost of the ship ig under £140,000, The Magicienne, -— APPROVED BY ALL. Comments of the English Press on the St. Louis Ticket—Blaine’s Return. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, June 9.— Allot the English papers without a dissenting voice approve the ticket nominated at St. Louis. All speak in high terms of the administration of Cleveland an d regard his election as certain. They dwell upon the his election means the . * that advancement in direction of free trade. The Republicans are stigmatized as the party most unfriendly to England for its protection theories, its oppo- sition to the fishery treaty, and it is charged with having captured the Irish vote. In speak- ing of the St. Louis ticket, the Saturday Re- view calls for information concerning Thurman, who is described as a man about whom very little is known. The presidential campaign is mentioned in a casual way. The Telegraph has made no allu- sion to the subject, and has not yet printed the news report of the President’s renomina- tion. None of the continental papers have so far discovered that we have a presidential election at hand. A HARD-WORKED PRINCE. This week has been one of the busiest of the sooial season. The Prince of Wales has at- tended so many public exhibitions and ocere- monies as to require him to travel with great swiftness from one part of London to the other, and to make changes of dress with the expertness of a lightning change artist. A gentleman who had an appointment with him yesterday just before the levee says that the Prince came into the dressing-room with a rush, not being able to stop to lunch. Food was handed to him and he ate what he could while he was run into his uniform by his ser- vants. Commodore McCalla of the United States Navy was presented at the levee yes- terday. In diplomatic circles enormous interest is taken inthe Donnell libel suit against the Times, which begins the first of the week, It will be really a test of strengh between the Times and Par- nell. Detectives have been hard at work for over a year gathering material for the Times, and no informer with documents has ever been turned away from the Times office. A MINISTER FOR DEFENSE. The Government, in its preparation for a possible European war, is about to create a new Cabinet office, that of Minister for Defense. This official is to have supreme authority over the army and navy, andhe isto be appointed for the pur- pose of simplifying the present headless and irresponsible system. Attempts are now being made by high En- glish authorities to persuade German authori- tiesto modify the annoying passpgrt regu- lation on the Franco-German frontier. Ameri- ean diplomats are aleo using their influence. The principal argument used is loss of money to Germany through English and American tourists being turned in other di- rections by these regulations. The Germans thus far are very much irritated against Frenchmen. Their papers are lied with stories.of persecutions of Germans on French soll, The latest grievance is that the French Government has given its consent for a factory in the west of France to supply Russia with cannon and a new explosive known as -chromomelinite, The King of Sweden, an amiable, energetic sight-seer, bas mous sum of £50,000 was subscribed by those present for the benefit of the Home for Desti- tute Girls, daughters of Masonic parents. Thie is the largest sum of money ever sub- scribed for any oharitable purpose at any din- ner. To-day at Cambridge the ceremony. of con- ferring the title of LL.D. was made absurd by being given to Prince Al- bert Victor, a number of conservative politicians, Lord Randolph Churchill, and only two scholars, Prot. Stokes and Prof. Cayley. CHRISTIANITY FOR THE JAPANESE. The Japan Weekly Mail, in a recent issue, summarizes a discussion now being carried on in Japan byseveral eminent publicists re- specting the advisability of the people of that country embracing the Christian religion. A movement supported by some very prominent men is on foot to give impetustothe spread of Christianity by laying stress on the secondary benefit which its acceptance insures. Those con- nected with the movement say that Christian dogmas are bitter pilis to swallow, but advise that it be swallowed promptiy for the sake of the after effects. Fukuzawa, a well known writer, urges this course, although he says that he takes no personal interest whatever in religion, and knows nothing of the teach- ing of Christianity, but he sees that it is the creed of the most highly civilized nations. To him religion is only a garment to be put on or taken off at pleasure, but he thinks it pru- dent that Japan should wear some dresa like her neighbors with whom she desires to stand well. Prof. Toyama of the Imperial University has published a work to support this view. He holds that Chinese ethics must be replaced by Christian ethics, and that benefits to be derived from the introduction of Ohristianity are: 1. Improvement of music. 2. Union of sentiment and feeling leading to harmonious co-operation. 8. Fur- nishing a medium of intercourse between menand women. Kato, the late President of the Imperial University, says that religion is not needed for the educated and confesses his dislike to all religions, but he urges the introduction of religious teaching into Government schools on the ground that the unlearned in Japan have had their faith in the old moral standards shaken, and that there is now a serious lack of moral sentiment among the masses. Among the replies to this is one by Sugiura, who is described as a diligent student of Western philosophy for many years. He speaks of a specially marked lack of religious feeling and sentiment in his countrymen. The Japanese, he says, have no taste for re- lig ton whatever, and it is impossible that they should ever become religious people. The youth of Japan he argues, being free from the thraidom of § creeds and free to act according to reason, are farin advance of Europeans, and instead of talking about adopting foreign religions the Japanese should go abroad and preach their religion of reason to foreign countries. MR. BLAINE’S RETURN. Mr. Blaine has engaged passage for himself and family to return to the United States on a steamer of the North German Lloyd Line, to sail from Southampton July 19. GRAVE FEARS. Anxiety in Berlin Concerning the Dowager Empress Augusta—The Reichstag. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ERLIN, June 9.—The Imperial family are amid all their fears preparing for a re newed affliction. Their Dowager Empress Augusta, is again threatened. Her long- standing ailment is > assuming a serious aspect. She is unable to go outside the pal- ace, and is confined most of the time to her apartments. The Emperor at Pottsdam keeps in constant com- munication with the Royal Palace at Berlin, and has offered her physicians from his own attendants. He has given special and minute directions for her comfort and treatment. Straw and tan-bark are spread over all the streets around and in the vicinity of the palace. THE REICHSTAG. The sitting of the Austrian delegation of the Reichstag, which is to meet the delegation of the Hungarian Diet and legislate for the joint movements as usual, was opened to-day. The event is always one of importance, for impor- tant disclosures of the situation of affairs and ignificant declarations of policy are made on these occasions. The Pmpsident to-day, in his opening address, amid marks ofthe heartiest approval expressed what he was confident was the earnest hope of every Austrian, that his majesty, the Emperor Frederick, would recover from his lamentable illness. The remainder of his speech and the remarks of other mem- bers of the delegation were pacific in tone. MELENITE. Many people believe that this terrible ex- plosive, melenite, recently discovered, is to be the ultimate arbitra- tor of peace or war. It is said that the Armstrongs, the famous English gun- makers, bave bought the secret of its manu- facture, andthe French Government has re- peatedly refused to purchase the sole right to its possession for military purposes. A Young Aristocrat in Trouble. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, June 9.—The theatrical public are about to be troubled with another Fortescue- Garmoyle suit. Forsome six months an en- gagement between the Viscount Banyan, a young swellofthe Guards, and Miss Phyllis Broughton, a popular soubrette, has hung fire; and, growing enxious, itis stated that the young lady yesterday served papers which will bring the young guardsman into court, charged with breach of promise.

June 9.—Wiil- 4 iam Dickson, del- f gate from the District of Col- umbia to the St. Louis Convention, returned to this city to-day. At Columbus Mr. Dickson accom- panied the news- paper correspond- ents when they called upon Judge Thurman. With regard to the physical and mental condi- tion of the candidate for ViceqPresident, Mr- Dickson said to-day: ‘‘To me Mr. Thurman appeared in as vigorous bealth as when he Was in the Senate. In those days I met him frequently, and I was well enough acquainted with him to note any changes. With the ex- ception ofatroubleof a rheumatic charac- he is as hearty as ever, and 1 could not discern any change. His voice—and that is a sure test ofthe physical condition— is as forcible, clear and penetrating as it was when we knew him in Washington. His hair is the same; hangs just the same as it used to; and I don’t believe has any more silverthreads in it than when he was leader of the Senate. He is full ot life. Indeed, his conversation, Nis comments upon current topics and his neral demeanor were the tame as of old. here was nothing in his appearance to indi- cate failure of physical or mental faculties. Stories to that effect published are only circu- lated in the hope of influencing political senti- ment. I say to you candidly that he is strong in body and in mind, a remarkably well-pre- served man and capable of rendering the na- tion invaluable service. Tammany’s Braves at Home. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. New York, June 9.—The Tammany Hall Gelegates arrived this morning at 10:30 0’ clock from the St. Louis Convention. No band of victorious braves returning from the war- . — were ever more cordially welcomed. here was no war-paint, and, to use a siang, but expressive expression, no files on them. Of course they looked wan and worn and weary, as all braves do when then they return from the war-path. There had been no war, true, but you could have the braves as they left their train of fifteen cars and filed out of the depot you would have imagined that they been on the war-patha year or more. mn sturdy Joseph J. O’Donohue looked worn and exhausted, but there was some ex- Suse for his condition, for he had at several stations alone the line made speeches in favor of home rule for Ireland. THE DELEGATES WORE red bandanas about their hats, and a through the depot the street en- trance they were loudly cheered. The first man that left the train was Ed Stokes wearing a straw hat and linen duster an looking not at all like the dapper Ed Stokes that the habitues of the Hoffman Cafe see. ing Came Coroner Messemer, the phy- sician of the delegation, who, though a convivial * never falls a prey to his conviviality. He said that only two of the 860 men on the train had fallen victims to malaria. They were Jadges, and he attributed their trouble to drink- the muddy waters of the Missouri. F. John Keenan of the Eighteenth District in his hands a rabbit which he had caught While the train was at a halt somewhere out in Indiana, and his achievement was consid- ered so remarkable that the delegates, who all wore bandana handkerchiefs about their hats, tied two about Mr. Keenan’s. The delegates were received with the utmost enthusiasm all peas Se Une. Even in Indiana the people who had been cheering for Gray wave bandanas. At Albany early this morning there was a great crowd to meet them and when at 7:30 o'clock they disembarked at Poughkeepsie for breakfast it seemed as if the whole town had turned out to do them honor. D JUDGE DUNLAP, who has been to conventiens for forty-five years, said that he had never seen such a de- of enthusiasm as the people of St. Louis exhibited. Actors and actresses at places of amusement in St. Louis wore the red badges of the Tammany Society. The delegation were honored when the Ohio people sent them Joo ba as a compliment, and thus they Were able to deal out the emblems to their the friends to whom tickets. Only one-tenth, led the local committee. These 700 seats are not raise about $30, vention, and to raise it the local committee may choose to give seats, are contro but sold. It was necess to 2 ary 000 for the expenses of the con- adopted the plan of ving a seat for every $50 — & the oad: Friends of n or any just as as are the friends When all the seats are sold there will remain in the hands of the committee haps thir tickets which they will use for themseives an families. That will account for every seat in the house without giving any chance for any „convention packing. The additional fact that the seating arrangements and issuing of tickets is made the direct su on of the sub-committee of the National Committee ——- any ssibility of such a trick. here is not one friend of Judge Gresham on the sub- committee. On the contrary, the chairman, J. 8. Clarkson of Iowa, is bitterly opposed to Gresham and two of the other members, Powell Clayton of Arkansas, and A. L. Conger of Obio are his political enemies. Mr. Clarkson said: The story is absurd.“ R. W. Patterson of the Tribune, the leader of the Gresham boom said: ‘‘It is utterly false.’’ Frank Hatton said: The sub-committee will prevent that.’’ It is quite likely that most of those in the 700 seats allotted to the committee will be in favor of Gresham’s nomination, but this will be simply because it would be impossible to find 700 Republicans in Chicago who are not, and not because of any plotting by the local committee. The pressure for seats at the press tables has grown so enormous thatthe local press has been compelled to raise the allotment formerly made. There are more than one thousand applications on Ale with the committee. The tables will ac- commodate 167. Of these these the Associated Press, which happens to be well represented, onthe committee, has gobbied twenty-one seats. This leaves 146 seate for the representa- tives of the newspapers of the country. There ismuch more newspaper interest taken in this convention than that at St, Louis where 280 seats were totally insufficient. There is certain to be a furious kick from all over the country over the arrangements that have been made. At a final conference be- tween the Press Committee and the National Sub-Committee yesterday the admissions were vigorously scaled down. Great numbers of papers were tLrown out bodily. No paper gets more than three seats, and none gets as many except New York and Chicago papers. New York papers with morning and evening editions get three for the morning and one for the evening edition. Papers elsewhere will have to get along for the most part with one seat apiece or none ‘at all. The amount of complaint there will be about this may be judged from the fact that many —— applied for six, eight and ten seats apiece. In justice to the Press Committee it should be said that it has nothing to do wit) the yay ee mene that limited the seats to such a ridiculously small number. The Extradition Treaty Resolution. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. Sr. PavuLt, Minn., June 9.—Delegate O. D. O’ Brien tells how his resolution relative to the extradition treaty failed to come before the emocratic Convention. The text of the res- olution prepared by Gen. O’Brien is as fol- ows: A just consideration of the interests of our foreign- born citizens requires that the extradition treaty now ending in the Senate between the United States and reat Britain be carefully revised; that no person shall be surrendered thereunder except for crimes named in said treaty, and that its provisions shall in no wise apply to agrarian or political offenses. Mr. O’Brien, who was greatly interested in the matter, says: At a meeting of the full committee Wednesday evening, the resolu- tion was brought up by Mr. Stringer, and it was indorsed and approved, but when they came to look forthe resolution, Mr. Watter- son, who was Chairman of the committee, claimed that be had lost or mislaid it. The next day Gov. Abbett changed the form of the resolution and it was sigred by Leon Abbett, John Dymond, A. E. Beaver and William H. Sims. It was left with Sims to be signed and incorporated with the other resolutions. When the convention met and before it was called to order Sims brought the resolution tothe Min- nesota delegation with a pencil indorsement signed by Henry Watterson and A. P. Gor- man saying ‘not to be passed.’ It was shown ae id Sims andthe indorsement was torn 0 > present the report rose to offer it, but was cuto man. side the chairman man be lowed Gorman’s under the express order of Watterson and the Maryland Senator. mitted to P.

Morehouse Carries Audrain County—The State Prohibition Convention. By Telegraph to the Post- DISPATCH. MEXICO, Mo., June 9.—The primaries held to-day were the hottest ever held in the county. It is impossible to get full returns, but the indications are that Francis has car- ried this town by a small majority. More- house’s majority in Vandalia is 5, and at Dye and Rush Hill 41. Francis carried Laddonia by 38 and Martinsburg by 24 ma- jority. Of the ninety-two voting precincts only about thirty have been heard from.

KAN8AS8 City, Mo., June 9.—The State Con- vention of the Prohibition party of Missouri will be held in this city next week at the Gillis Opera-house, and will probably last two days.

Even the delegates to represent this county in the convention have not yet been chosen, but the Prohibition elubs here will attend. At Tuesday’s convention a full State ticket will probably be put in the fleld. The most prominently mentioned in connec- tion with the gubernatorial nomination is W. H. Craig of this city. W. C.

Letters and Arrests Mrs. Williams, By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. EVANSVILLE, Ind., June 9.—Quite a sensa- tion was caused in Mount Vernon last night by the arrest of Mrs, Charles Williams, one of the most respectable ladies of that place, by Deputy United States Marshal Groves of this city for opening and destroy- ing a letter addressed — her sister, Miss Hutchinson. The story is as follows: The sister has been keeping company with a fellow named Len Duckworth, who had been forbid- den to enter the house, and clandestine meet- ings have been the result. A cor- respondence has been — o up between them through the maiis. Several months ago the lad under arrest went tothe post-office and the mall from the box which is used com- monly by all the family, - infatuated bein 4 — mae d re ing the writing as that of : Duckw determined to open it and see its contents, upon reading it shesays she discovered it to be improper fer her sister to see andd it.

— — — ne — N x 274 * we * northerly winds; fair weather. — — — e — _—- Tue New York Sun, which did all it could to elect BLAINE in 1884 by support- ing BUTLER and hounding CLEVELAND with every filthy scandal it could evoke from the haunts of vice, now threatens to support the Democratic nominee since Bran is out of the way. This is the un- kindest cut of all. — — . — — Tue Gresham papers are printing cuts of the log cabin in which GRESHAM was born. It was one of those Indiana log- cabins with a stone chimney built upon the outside and a right hard cabin to fight against in a campaign. A mighty fine race of men were they who were born in such frontier homes. — — + — — Cuauncrey Depew says that no such bossism as CLEVELAND now exercises over the Democratic party has been displayed in this country ‘‘since liberty bell was rung.” It certainly does seem to differ from the bossism we have been used to. The land-grabbers, the railroad bosses and the trust-monopoly bosses are bit- terly opposed to it. But the more it wrenches the ‘political machinery from their control, and the more it makes them stand off and keep their hands out of the people's pockets, the more the peo - ple will like it. 1 — Tun storm which arose as the conven- tion was adjourning gave the Republican correspondents a chance to draw a lurid picture of the elements protesting against the convention’s work. They might have worked in some ne ol@literary bric-a- brac telling how the skies grew dark and wept over the birth of ticket and plat- form, and how heaven’s: lightning men- aced and its thunders rebuked the de- ‘parting delegates. As nothing of this sort has yet appeared we must conclude that the ‘‘olassical styie’’ has been turned over by newspaper men to the ex- clusive use of Kansas City and Topeka journalists. 3 Tun nomination of THURMAN has im- parted more poignancy to the friction of the Republican factions in Ohio. Fora- KER insists that THuRMAN is the weakest of candidatesdor that State, while Gros- VENoR, MOKinrayr-and other Sherman- ites say emphaticallythat CLEVELAND and THURMAN willsweep Ohio as it was never Swept. before, unless SHERMAN is nomi- nated at Chicago. At the same time tho. Blaine meware still holding big meetings and deolaring- that che party oan be saved by nobody but the distinguished gentie- * — | the party supported him in his race against Henny Groner is known tothe whole country. Now Mn-Gsorepandt his paper are earnestly supporting CLEVE- LAND, but because an anti-trust tariff policy threatens to~curtail the enormous profits of a certain steel-beam trust in which Mr. Hewirr is interested, he an- nounces that he will neither contribute a dollar nor a speech nor a vote to the election of Mr. CLEVELAND. That is the sort of Democrat Mr. Hxwrrr is, and his colleagues in Congress have known it for many years past. a | THE BLOTS I’ THE SCUTOHEON. The speeches, the cheers, the music, the convention are over, the froth is blown away,the tioket and platform of the Dem- ooratio party are before the people, who have months of sober comparison and de- liberation before casting their votes. The ticket will not be elected by musio and yells and cheering and the personal enthusiasmof ten thousand people crowded into one vast auditorium. That enthusiasm represents, let us say the voteof Missouri. We may safely promise the vote of Mis- souri to the Democratic ticket; also Ken- tucky; also Texas—in a word, the ticket starts out with 153 votes solid and seoure. Where are the other forty-eight votes to come from? They must come, if they come at all, not from the people who yell themselves hoarse at conventions nor from enthusi- asts who find inspiration in a red hand- kerchief, but from people who look on politics as a serlous matter; who are citizens: first and partisans after- wards, who judge parties not by their promises, but by their performances, who vgte neither from in- herited antipathy nor anticipated flesh pots, but according to those standards of fithess and worth which are nowhere questioned outside of politics. These people, for instance, will remem- ber that Mr. CLEVELAND was elected Governor because he had been a reform Mayor, and that he was elected .President because he had been a reform Governor. They will remember that his protestations of reform made upon assuming the Presi- dency were repeated and reinforced after he had sixteen months’ experience of the practical working ofthe Federal patron- age. Yet these promises, now: two years old, compared with the facts of to-day, show only too many blots i’ the scutcheon.’ In New York the raffle of The Widow MoGuinness’ Pig“ has illustrated the re- sources of political rascality in extorting money from office-holders for campaign purposes. In Maryland the confession of Permit rk Quuvm, that he could not write t permit, was merely proof of the justice of that citizens’ revolt, which vainly protested against the bossism of GORMAN, HIGGINS, RasIn and the others of the office-broker crowd. In Missouri the Federal patronage has been turned over to Senator Vest, who signalized the meeting of the National Oonvention by delivering a fervid address in de- fense of the spoils and against reform in any shape on the day before the renomi- nation of CLEVELAND, the reformer. These are facts which will not affect the solid 153 votes, but these 153 votes will not elect the ticket. These facts may affect the forty-eight votes which are needed to elect the ticket. They may have a serious effect in the event of the nomination of a man like GRESHAM, who would have little use for pig raffles and illiterate permit clerks. The question is will anything be done in the next five months to straighten this crooked record, to wipe out these too conspicuous blots? THE TELEPHONE WAR. In supporting the side of the oity in its controversy with the telephone oompany the Posr-Disraron is not animated by any spirit of hostility tothecompany, We not only recognize the value of the tele- phone as an addition to the resources of modern life, but we cheenfully testify that the service given to subscribers in St. Louis has been most excellent. The imperfections which marked the early history of telephoning in St. Louis have been long since removed, and nowit is the universal testimony that the St. Louis company is a marvel of executive ability and good management. As far as the Posr-Disrarck is concerned, we may add that it has shown its appreciation of this service as no other newspaper in St. Louis has done —by paying for its telephones. But we sustain the cause of the city be- cause we are not willing to admit the principle claimed by the-company nor to indorse its course. We are not willing to admit that the telephone company or any other gainful corporation shall obtain a municipal franchise upon terms dictated by the corporation whereby the city grants everything and gets nothing. The municipal franchise isas essential to the company as its patents and equipment and the least that the city can claim in return is that its right to proteot the citi- gena from extortion shall be un- questioned.

If it could have supported by evidence the claim on which it resisted the ordinance, the ordinance would not have been passed. It did not do so, andit was only a‘fair inference that~itwas-not able to do so. There is no desire on the part of any ons to persecute the telephone company. that we will lay down the following prop- osition: If the company can prove to a committee of the Municipal Assembly the truth of its oft-repeated statement, that the costof the-service is greater than the maximum allowed bythe ordinance, the ordinance will be repealed. Will the telephone company-accept the ‘proposition? a — * THE CRY FOR BLAINE. The nomination. of CLEVELAND-for re- ‘election-on the platform of his last annual message is a most provoking challenge to the friends and admirers of Mr. BLA to fight over again the battle of 1884. They have gloried in BLarve’s answer to that message, and declared it a most oon- olustve and triumphant vindication of our war tariff. Mr. CLEVELAND and his party have challenged them to run BLA, on his letter, against CLEVELAND on his mes- sage, and to let the people decide between the two men and the two policies. Every ardent BLAINE man of 1884 regards it as a cowardly surrender not to accept that Challenge, and they are still holding great mass-meetings in Ohio and other States to insist on his nomination in spite of both his letters begging to be excused. They feel that the party would be dis- graced and demoralized by shrinking from the challenge so defiantly hurled in its teeth. They cannot believe Mr. BLAINE 80 cold-blooded, selfish and cow- ardly as to refuse and seek the rear when his party calls on him to lead it again to battle. They are thefighting men of the party, and whether it refuses to call him, or he refuses to come when called, they will be terribly demoralized, as much so as other elements of the party would be if called on tofight over again the lost battle of 1884, It remains to be seen whether the Chicago convention can find the way and command the means of brightening this gloomy outlook forthe Republican organ- ization. —— ᷣ e — For a quarter of a century we have maintained the highest robber tariff in the world on the pretense that it nour- ished our industries and kept up the wages of labor. Under that tariff we have had the worst panics and the sever- est industrial and business prostrations that ever afflicted this country. Who has forgotten how this tariff failed to feed the homeless and starving tramps who swarmed upon all the highways of the land for years after thecrash of 1873? Yet now, when Mr. JOHN GUSTISVASETY is adver- tising in the Eastern papers for work for 800 of his Italian fellow-countrymen at 60 cents a day, the average paid in Pennsyl- vania’s protected ore beds, we are told that any interference with the trust sub- sidies and monopoly extortions guaran- teed by our tariff “will reduce the wages of labor tothe pauper basis of Europe!“ Do not the wage-earners of America see that there is no tariff against foreign la- bor, and that these immigrants have brought the pauper basis with them? — — Oe : GEORGE C. GORHAM’s statements about the Blaine-Reid-Depew conspiracy to down ConKLING, FoLGER and ARTHUR in order to clear the way for BLAINE are but ; an affirmation of what was understood by many well-informed persons and sus- pected by more. They show that Mac- beth was a fair prototype of modern politicians who do not hesitate to bear the knife themselves instead of shutting the door against the murderer of a party Duncan. GorHaM has laid out Drrôw at one blow by recalling the fact that he ran for Lieutenant-Governor on the Demo- cratic ticket with Horruax, and, while a Demoorat, indulged in the severest de- nunciation of Gen. Grant. Nor is it by any means certain that Mr. Goku has reserved his fire too long to reach BLaIyve. The “Blaine-or-bust” fellows are still rampant from Maine to California, and refuse to be reconciled to the nomination of any other man. — eee Tus re-election of Col. PRATHER as Na- tional Committeeman was a well-earned tribute to his efforts in bringing the Na- tional Democratic Convention to Mis- souri. The Missouri delegation did not sympathize with the jealous opposition of Kansas City to everything that St. Louis wants, and many of the delegates felt that the election of Dr. MUN¥FoRD of the Kansas City Times over PRATHER would be construed as an indorsement of Mun- FORD’s alleged efforts in behalf of San Francisco and against St. Louis in the struggle over the location of the conven- tion. lt was charged at the time that he went to Washington to work against his own State and for anything to beat St. Louis, and although this was denied, the charge was not so satisfactorily cleared up as to prevent it from having a very de- cisive influence on the vote between him and PRATHER. 1 — Tariff Reform at Chicago. From the Chicago Tribune. How will the Republicans meet the bold stand of the Democracy on the tariff ques- tion? The Democratic Convention has forced the issue to the front, and i must be met one way or the other. If the Republidans do nothing they will be forced into the position of opposing tariff reform, and only one of the great national parties will take the field with the record of having made an actual at- tempt to correct the trregularities and to re- duce-the present excessive tariff taxation. If notin favor of tariff reform the Republicans will appear to be against it. On the other hand, they may announce themselves as strongly in favor of tariff revision as the Demoorats- and present a much detter plan for the attalmment of such a resuit than the latter have been able to submit. The Democraticarmy has taken its position and the Republicans can make 8 attack on the center against all reform, or can execute ultra protection against the Democratic re- duction policy they will ateempto break the Democratic line where it is strongest, and hurl their forces against the most powerful runs and heaviest fortifications of the enemy, while by presenting a plan of judicious tariff reduction better devised than that which the Democrats have submitted they will execute a turning movement of the kind that yields the most notable victories both in war and poll- tics. Will the Republicans attempt to storm Kenesaw Mountain, or turn the enemy’s flank and march triumphantly on Atlanta, oaptur- ing it? The Rise of Mr. Oclriohs. New York Letter in Philadelphia Ledger. Herman Oelrichs, who was to-day chosen by the New York delegation at St. Louisas a member of the Democratic National Commit- tee, has never been prominent in politics, bat he has lately been taking an active interest in the Democratic party, and has, it is said, been contributing liberally out of his wealth to its resources. Heis a member of the firm of Oclrichs & Co., the agents of the North Ger - man Lloyd Steamship Co., and is several times a millionaire. He is only about 88 years old. Hehasa magnificent physique, and. is one ofthe most prominent amateur athictes ot New York; he le f noted boxer, and more than once has given evidenee of his skill and endurance. He is about five feet nine inches high and weighs about 225 pounds, but does not look as if he weighed over 180 pounds. He is popular in society and among his business associates and is regarded as a rising man. She Will Be the Real Vice-President. From the Chicago Tribune. Jokes are now being told about Judge Thur- man, and one of them is Billy Armstrong's to the effect that the Judge at his house or cham- bers once invited some gentlemen to come up and have something todrink. All he could find was some apollinaris water, which he gravely opened and said: ‘‘Friends, Mrs. Thurman will not permit any liquor to be in this house, and I must offer you just what 1 get myself.“ They drank the apollinaris wa- ter humbly. When they got down stairs and were about to go the Judge followed them out into the street. The fact is, gentlemen,’’ said he, ‘‘that though Mrs. Thurman does run that house, she does not, thank God, control the whole town. I want some whisky to wash the taste of that apollinaris water out ot my mouth.“ The Fight for Ohio. From the Cleveland Plaindealer. Without doubt Ohio will be a doubtful State this year, and the Democrats propose to make the mightiest battle for the electoral vote they have ever made in the State. They propose now to contest every inch of ground, and they have very good reason for thinking they can win. At any rate they propose to fight hard and to win iftheycan. TheOhio Republicans un- derstand this and the cry of alarm they have raised that unless Sherman is the nominee Ohio may be lost is not raised for effect merely but because of a conviction that the danger its real. It is real, and this may have some et- fect upon the convention to induce it to nom- inate an Ohio man, but even then John Sher- man may not be chosen. TO OUR VISITORS.

T., June 9.—There is a general feeling of exultation in Rochester at the outcome of what is known as the Telephone Strike. You meet a Rochester man in the street, whether he be a telephone user or net, and ask him about telephone rates and he will answer you by a significant smile which means **We fixed em. The battle was one of the people against a monopoly almost as powerful and more far- reaching than the Standard Ou Co. The re- sults of the victory and benefits which will accrue to local telephone users, and indirectly to citizens generally, are these: The telephone people have placed in the local exchange a new and improved system of making connec- tions similar to the one now in use in New York, a system by the way whichis only in use in three cities inthe United States aside from Rochester. THE TELEPHONE POLES at present in the business part of the city are also to be taken down and the wires laid under ground in iron conduits; each subscriber is to have the latest design of transmitter; the all- improved and operators put on. The sub- scribers who struck and whose contracts did not expire or had not at that time are released from making any back pay- ments for such rentals. The telephone people discontinue all suits begun by them against any of the subscribers or against the city. The telephone people pay all counsel fees and ex- penses attending litigation, and to make the victory complete the subscribers have ob- tained a rate §2 less per year than the rental which they paid before the company tried to force the toll system upon them. To go into the history of the affair, the early facta may be stated fully thus: Since the Introduction of the telephone service in Oentral and Western New York has been en- tirely under the control of the Parent Bell CO., as itis called. This company nominally has the Boston Telephone Exchange, but some time since it established exchanges at Buffalo, Oswego, Albany and Cleveland, THE BUFFALO BRANOH includes Western New Tork, territory in which are embraced all towns and cities from this city to Buffalo. The Oswego company has only a small territory, while the Albany and Cleveland companies are powerful. The rental of the telephones was from $40 to $60 a year until 1885 when the Buffalo company announced a change in its Buffalo leases and fixed the rate at so much per thousand messages. Some little opposi- tion was created, but the majority of Buffalo subscribers agreed to the new prop- osition. No change was made in this olty until October, 1886, when the 800 Rochester subscribers were surprised at receiving a circular to the effect that as soon as their leases for 1886 expired each would be charged at the rate of $50 per 500, or $110 for 2,000 messages, instead of the usual rental which has been $50 a year for each telephone. The circular added that where a firm used over 5,000 messages yearly a percentage would be taken off. A STRONG FEELING against the action of the company began to manifest itself. Many large firms found that under the new system their service would cost them from 8100 to $200 a year more than they were paying, an increase of $100 to $200 per cent. The feeling grew stronger against the new scheme, and on November 2, 1886, a Subscribers’ Association was formed for mutual protection. On Novem- ber 16, a meeting was held, attended by near- ly every telephone subscriber in the city and it was unanimously decided to inform the Buffalo company that unless the latter agreed to ro- turn to the old rate, the sys- tem would be boycotted. the Bell Oo. sent a reply to the ef- that it would do as it pleased and would not be dictated to. This brought the feeling to fever heat and on Saturday, No- vember 20, 1886, nearly every factory whistle in Rochester was blown as asignal to stop using the phones. The service was absolutely par- alyzed. The Subscribers’ Association then began in earnest. It induced the Common Council to revoke all powers granted to the Telephone Co., and the latter CANNOT LEGALLY ERECT A POLE on the streets. They have done so in one in- stance, but citizens have obtained a decision from the Supreme Court,ordering its removal. The association appointed a comm!ittee to pre- sent a bill to the Legislature restricting the powers of the company throughout the State. This bill was drawn up and is nowa law. Not content with this they succeeded in having the Attorney for the State bring an action against the telephone company on the ground that it was a public nuisance from the fact that its poles obstructed the highways. The ac- tion was begun and would have been tried this fall had the set- tlement not been effected. Last January the Grand-jury indicted the company on the ground also of being a public nuisance, but the indictment was not pressed. The tele- phone company retaliated by bringing suits against several delinquent subscribers, em- ploying the best legal talent in the city, be- sides ites own attorneys. The conn- se] for the People’s Telephone Association fought these suits inon by inch and each side, when defeated, kept carrying up the case at fssue. THE COMPANY'S LOCAL MANAGER meanwhile endeavored to build up the ex- change, but found it impossible. The striking subscribers clung together and the 100 telephones still tm use om the day after the strike were the only ones up to the day the contract was signed, and these telephones were almost valueless for the reasons that few of those using them had any relations with the others in the exchange which required the instro- ments. The parent company in Bos- ton «at last saw the effect the strike was having and the desperate fight tne people were making and sent a director in the person of David B. Parker te carry a flag of truce and open negotiations with a view of seteling the trouble. Ool.

ROBSON AND CRANE, The Comedians to Dissolve Partnership After Next season—Personal Grievance. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. CHIcCAdO, June 9.—The partnership that ex- isted forten years or more between William H. Orane and Stuart Robson, the actors, will soon be dissolved. Their season ended to-day, and it was announced that they would play together only one more year. Mr. Crane has made ar- rangements to star alone the following sea- son under the management of Joseph Brooks. Mr. Robson does not know yet what he will do. It is known that there have been serious disagreements between the partners fora year, dating from a quarrel they hadone memora- bie night in Philadelphia Lately they have not been on speaking terms, and have stopped at different hotels wherever they have been, in order to avoid each ether. The ori- gin of the difficulty is entirely al and had nothin to.do with usiness or professional jealousy. It is said by theatri- cal people here that one of the partners tnok offense at something that was said by the other in convivial moments, and when he resented it there were hot words and a scene. The profits of the partners from this season of the Henrietta“ are placed at $120,000, the business of the four weeks’ run in Chicago amounting to $45,000. Mr. Orane oes at once to Europe and will stay thereſuntil he next season begins. t is said that he objected to going to his home in Cohasset because he knew that Mr. Robson was to spend the summer there. The Henrietta“ will be played again next season. Mr. Robson refuses to say anything about the matter. Mr. Crane made this guarded statement: „It is true that next season I am to appear alone and under the management of Mr. Brooks. I have signed a contract to that effect. As to the causes that led to this I have nothing to say.’’ The announcement of the separation caused great surprise and an — deal ot gossip in theatrical circles ere. ° Triple Alliance Convention.

NDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 9.— Since the attompt- ed robbery of the accommodation train on the Big Four road last night, in which Baggage Master Joe Ketoham was e fatally wounded, „ Supt. Bender bas deen in receipt of . frequent dispatches from the sene of all the details as rapidly as developed. The substance of these, as learned to-day at Mr. Bender’s office, is about as follows: The train was running ata rate of forty miles an hour, when five masked men, who had probably climbed on board at Delhi, made an attempt to open the front door of the baggage-car, which was fastened witha heavy chair. Baggage Master Ketcham, hearing the noise and seeing the men through the glass door, ran to get his revolver, but the robbers divining his object, opened fire upon him. They kept up a steady fusilade for some time, wounding Ketcham in four places. J. H. Zimmermann, the express messenger, ran backwards, and guarded the rear door. James Boyd, the engineer, heard the shots, and leaving the engine in charge of the fre- man, hastened back to give aid to the men in the car. He met one of the five coming toward him over the tender and had a fortun- ate escape from a bullet fired by the latter. On meeting, the men struggled for a moment, Boyd receiving a blow on the bead from the revolver of his assailant, but he finally struck the masked face a terrific blow with a monkey wrench, and the robber rolled off beside the track. By this time the remaining four saw the attack had failed, and as Boyd was ad- vancing on them and Zimmerman was still ing the oar vin A leaped off into darkness. Immediately upon reaching Cincinnati a large force of policemen Was sent out on a special to scour the woods and villages. Fifty railroad empjoyes also joined in the search. Nothing was found during the night that was rogarded as a possibie clew to the perpetra- tors. This morning, however, a man has been found who says at bout midnight he saw four or five men on the river ina skiff acting in a suspicious manner, and that this gives color to the belief of some of the railroad officials that the robbers were from the hill region of Kentucky which lies just across the river m the scene of the crime. This region has always been regarded asa rendezvous for lawless class of men who were ripe for any desperate deed. Superintendent Bender is ataloss to ac- count for the attack on the train, as it was one which never carries a large amount of money or valuablés. He says every step possibie will be taken to discover the murderers, and no expense will be spared in bringing them to tice. Joseph Ketcham, the unfortunate an, is one of the most popu- lar and faithful of the employes the Big Four Co. He is about years of age and has been in the employ of the company eighteen years: His home is at Greensburg. JOB KETCHAM DEAD. CINCINNATI, O., June 9.—Joe Ketcham, the brave baggage master who was shot to pieces On the Big Four passenger train at Delhi last night, died at his home at 5 o’clock this even- ing. M. E. alls, President ‘of the ‘‘Big Four raliroad has telegraphed from New York the offer of $1,000 reward for the detec- tion and conviction of any orall the robbers ofthe train at Delhi last night. Ketcham leaves a wife but no children. The attempted train robbery Is not the first affair of the kind on railway trains in the vicinity of this city.

Whenever be sees an account of an accident, in which any person has been killed or in- jured, he makes a note of the name of tne person, the nature of the accident, the loca - tion, the owner of the building or the factory at which the accident takes place, and, in some cases, when the account is quite long, he clips the entire story and pastes it in a scrap-book. This much done he goes to work, hunts up the victim, urges upon him the necesssity of prosecuting for damages, or forcing the corporation or the individual to compromise and then „breaks even.

Thus, planing-miils, rolling-mills, ma- chine-shops, buildings in construction, gas-houses, factories of all sorts and kinds, and in fact every manner of institution come within the scope of bis practice. His theory is that more opportunities for mak- ing money are lost by people injured by ac- cident than in any other way; and he brings forward figures to prove what he says. Rail- roads are his especial delight and money from no source gives him as much keen enjoyment as that which he compels a railroad to pay. Not long ago an aged negro working at the machine-shops of one of the big railroads in this city was incapacitated by having his right hand accidentally crushed in the machinery. The road kindly paid the doctor’s bill and that was allthey thought about the matter. The lawyer hunted up the old colored man, se- cured the case and the railroad was glad to compromise at $500. The lawyer took the money and went back to his client. Uncle, how much do you think you ought to get for the loss of that hand?“ Well, doss, said the old man, I ‘spec that ere han’s wuth $16 anyway. Its mighty sore, I kin tell e. The lawyer then told bim what he had done and turned over $250 to theold man, who nearly dropped dead from surprise. „Talk about lost opportunities, says the lawyer, ‘‘why there are millions of them every day in America.’’ 8 0 There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken atthe flood leads on to fortune.’’ A white-halred man leaning against one of the heaters at the Custom-house quoted that and toldastory. ‘‘Ididn’tknow the flood when I saw it and waited till the ebb, so was ‘led on’ the other way. You don’t remember the Emma mine. She was at one time the crack property in the market. I don’t re- member whether the mine ever was really worth anything or not, but there was a time in its history when the stock brought twice its par value. A speculator by the name of Lyons was init, and he in company with a number of prominent men bulled the stock to the highest possible notch. Une of Lyons’ acquaintances came to me one day and asked me to lend him $200. Ihad a little shoe business then and was making a fair liv- ing, butI didn’t have many $200 bundles to distribute among my friends. He offered. as security 16,000 shares of ‘Emma,’ the par value of which, I believe, was $100 per share. It wasn’t selling for anything then, but this friend said it was bound to go to above. I told bim 1 use for mining stocks. pay for shoes with certificates no matter how pretty it was. He said he must have money and asked me if I couldn’t let him have $50. ftoid bim I would accommodate him so far, and gave him the money, but took no se- curity. The next day I heard the stock was in demand for a small price; the next day my neighbors were ae for it, and in a week everybody had some ofit. I tried to see my friend and sent him word that I'd let him have the $200 for the stock, but could not reach him for nearly two weeks. Then he came into ay store to pay me the $50. I wanted some of his stock but he said he had sold all he intended to sell below par, and I might have alll wanted at $100. refused to buy at that figure but inside a month other people were paying that. One day another friend offered me alot at $125. had got the fever by that time and I mort- gaged about everything I bad to take his offer. If you paring about mining stocks you know what happenedtome. The Emma took a sudden turn and went out of sight so fast I didn’t save a dollar of my investment. I never recovered myself after thatand only a month ago I wasso hard pressed for money I had to borrow $50 of the friend I had refused to lend $200 toon the 10,000 Emma. It looks now as ifI never will be abletopay him back. * * a Sergt. McGrew of the Mayor’s office never loves to enter upon the discussion of lost opportunities. He takes no comfort from the stories of another’s fate at the hands of fickle fortune, but is only reminded by them the more pointedly of Before the mining St. Louis Sergt. McGrew chance. Mr. Gus Ewing had just taken his first interest in mining stocks. e was the Commissioner of Supplies under his brother’s appointment, and was a frequent caller at the Mayor's of- fice. A part of the business of each day’s visit was to prevailupon McGrew to take a little plunge in Granite Mountain stock, but McGrew was steadfast and used to play in the growth of his Jersey stock and the crop prospects of his Ohio farm against the small but favorable fluctuations in Granite Mouatain as reported tonim. He could have had all the Granite Mountain stock he wanted and obliged his friend by taking it. He might have been a millionaire had he taken the advice given him, Mac says this is his lost opportunity, and he wouldn’t ‘‘blame the old dame if she got so mad at such a cussed fool’’ as never to give him another. — 0 + ‘‘Speaking of lost opportunities, ineident - ally remarked Assistant Postmaster Estill Mo- Henry, always reminds me of that Kentuck chap who visited a city. His friend showe him all the big men of the place, saying, ‘There is Mr. So-and-So who made a million by taking advantage of this or that oppor- tunity, and this man’s house was built by a gentleman who never let the main chance go.’ Ah, yes, I see,’ said the Kentuckian, and he went home. „The next year his friend came to visit him and the host took him around to see the sights. ‘You showed me lots of big men who knew when to hitthe nail on the head.

If Jean remember tightly, it was the night prior to their wedding, when tne fel- low was seen to leave bome. He was gone for enrs, and the — explanation was that he ad been informed by a lady friend that the intended bride meant to marry him only for his hard-earned savings, and he deemed it best to break the engagement. The unfortu- nate bride was made acquainted with the situ- ation, and for days lay very ill, but finally recovered. Shortly after her recovery she fell heir toa large sum of money and was speedily married to another gentleman of so- cial standing. Our friend returned home and learning of the whereabouts of his whilom sweetheart sought to enforce an explanation as to the trath of his lady friend’s statement. When told they were abominable lies he waiked away downcast and sad to think thata mean trick had caused him to losesuch an opportunity. a * — Two friends of mine in Nevada,“ said 0. D. Harris, had as narrow an escape from making a fortune as Jever knew. They were running a shaft in the White Pine District, and had been at work at it for more than ayear. Every day they walked from their cabin to the mine, a distance of two miles, and used to sit down to rest on a ledse of rocks about midway. One day a tramp came along, and sat down on the same rock. Having nothing to do, he there an hour or two, of idlenzes began chipbing off pieces with a hammer wh ch he bad with him. To his aston- ishment the rock showed most excellent indi- cations, and he continued prospecting up the ledge until he found a very rich vein of silver. He took upaclaimandin three months sold out for over $60,000. The two miners who had made that stone their resting place for months were the cheapest looking pair I ever saw and soon left that partof the country, unable to stand the jeers of their comrades, who never let them forget what a fortune they had passed over.’ * People who speculate in mining stocks are constantly confronted with the grim remind- ers of what might have been, and their capacity for becoming rosy with hope and pallid with despair is unlimited. There are dozens of investors in St. Louis who have been on the brink of fortune, but who have stepped back nervous at the odds against them, and whom the !ost opportunity, perhaps the chance of a lifetime, haunts forever after. Manager Sperry of the Planters’ House is not exactly haunted by a recent unfortunate decision, but he will probably remember it for some time to come. When Frisco was selling down in the thirties he held some 8,000 shares. Rena and Golden Era he had already tested, and when the former slumped like a toboggan going down the slide he sold out at a loss. He was determined not to be caught again, however, and when Frisco began wavering he hesitated a minute and then let go at about $2 per share less than he might have obtained the follow- ing day. — * — A well-known physician of the city is one of the many who had an opportunity to strike One day just after he had received a check for $l, in payment for a debt he met a friend who asked him if he had any money he wanted to invest. Thephysician replied that he had a check for $1,500 in his pocket which he was just going to deposit in the bank, and for which he had no immediate need. His friend told him not to put it in bank, but to go straight to a broker’s office and purchase Granite Mountain stock with it. Stock was then selling for 90 cents a share, and the phy- sician’s friend assured him he knew the prop- erty was of great value and that in a very short time stock would be away up. But the medical gentleman gave him a knowing wink and said: „Oh, no; you don’t catch me on that. I want no mining stock In mine.’’ In vain his friend tried to persuade him to make the investment. He would not be per- suaded. He could have purchased with his $1,500 just 1,666 shares ofthe stock, which would now be worth about $100,000 and be bringing in $838 a month. The Miller’s Convention.

She Is Connected With the Famous Roose- velt Family Here and Is Playwright, Au- thor, Actress, Opera Singer and Artist— What Her Antecedents Were—The New Play She Is Dramatizing With Sardau, e »The Copper Queen.” HE ‘‘American girl’’ whois writing a play in collaboration with Victorien Sardou is better Known in any ofa half-dozen Euro- pean capitals than in her own city of New York. Blanche Roose- velt Tucker, known for a short time to the American stage as „Blanche Roosevelt, and bearing that well - known Knickerbocker name by right from her mother, has achieved in a life of thirty years far more than falls to the lot of most of her brilliant and beautiful sisterhood. It will scarcely be an exaggeration to say that there is no living author who would not be pleased to the top of his bent at an invitation to write, in conjunction with the past master of the contemporary stage, a dramatization of hisown novel. Such an honor Sardou has offered to no playwright, even in his own land of playwrights, and that it should fall to a woman, and a woman of whom her country- men and women have every reason to be proud, emphasizes the compliment. Blanche Roosevelt made her operatic debut at Covent Gardenin 1876, under the manage- ment ofthe elder Gye. She sang Traviata“ three times. When she found out that she was not likely to become another Nilsson or a second Patti she gave up the operatic stage. In the course of the five years of her connec- tion with the profession she appeared not more than seventeen or eighteen times, four times in grand and three times in comic opera. Conscious of powers which deserved the highest success when once their proper sphere was discovered, she sang, wrote, painted and modeled, mixed in the gay world and studied deep into the morning hours by a boudoir lamp, spurred on by a determination that is closely allied to genius. Against so audacious a spirit many gates seemed at first closed beyond the opening ef a young woman who left Yankeeland for the Old \orld with the avowed intention—as the story .9es—of knowing and writing about all the ki and queens of Europe.’’ SOME TEN YEARS AGO Blanche Roosevelt Tucker went to Paris with a roving commission from the Chicago Times. She was to receiye $50 per month from that journal and to write once a week or once a month, as she chose, onart, music, social and literary gossip. Her mother, Mrs. Tucker, has for years been aregular and valued con- tributor to the Times. There were three daughters, One of them, Mrs. Edwin H. Low, wife ofthe well-known steamship agent, is the editor and manager of a successful weekly in New York Otty. Another, Dr. Love, is a brilliant woman, who has by energy and pef- severance built up a good medical practice in Chicago. The third is just now the ‘‘American girl’’ of whom, per- haps, most Americans are talking. The mother of such a family must necessarily have been herself a woman of unusual gifts. She had indeed, and has still, the journalistic fac- ulty developed to a high degree. When Blanche first began writing for publication Mrs. Tucker was already a contributor to the Chicago Times and Tribune of papers over the nom de guerre of ‘‘Corinnee,’’ which she al- most as regularly answered and dissected in Sorosis, a Chicago weekly of that time, over the nom de plume of Mrs. Fitzjamea.’’ Fer- tility of resource was naturally to be 8 in the children of such a mother. obert Roosevelt isa distant cousin of Mrs. Tacker, who is a great-granddaughter of Cornelius I. Roosevelt. The newspaper letters of Blanche Roosevelt (Tucker) attracted some attention in this country. ‘‘Stage Struck, the book in which she advised her American sisters not to go to Italy to study how to become ‘‘opera singers,’’ attracted much criticism. Ac- knowledged to be a talented and accomplished girl, Miss Tucker’s measure for really great achievement had not been taken in this country. But she went on her way, making progress in one direction and then in another, and when she married a Marquis and began to be a social lion in Paris her American reputa- tion took a tremendous bound. But the seeds which have now ripened her into one of the most interesting and successful women of her time had already begun to yield a plentiful liter harvest and borne fruit in books which the best critics of Paris and London delighted to honor. Of these books little ap- pears to have been known in her native land. LITERARY WORK. Her first book was ‘‘Longfellow’s Home Life.“ At that time she was on the comic opera sta It is said to have been the dream of Longfellow’s life to have something he had written dramatized.Tennyson,of whom he be- lieved himself the peer, had his works put on the stage. He was taken behind the scenes at the Boston Theater, where Miss Roosevelt was singing in Gilbert and Sullivan's works, and was presented toher. He gave her out- right the Masque of Pandora.’’ She made an opera of it, and the opera failed. Blanche Roosevelt had constructed the book, and no less a musician than Arthur Sullivan the score, but to no purpose, except to make Longfellow and Miss Roosevelt great friends. The libretto and score of the Masque of Pandora“ are now in the possession of her sister, Mrs. Low, the wife of Edwin H. Low of the up- town steamship agency on Broadway. ts roduction in Boston is said to have cost Miss oosevelt $16,000. But the friendship with Longfellow bore fruit. He invited Miss Roosevelt to his home at Nahant, where she spent two weeks. The charming old poet talked art to her for art’s sake. One morning he came down to the piazza and surprised her writing in her diary. ‘What are you writing?’’ he asked. She said she was jotting down some of his talk about art. He became interested, and vy | agreed that she should make these talks the basis ofa book called ‘‘Longfellow’s Home Life, which his publisher, Osgood, should give to the world. Before the book came out Long- fellow died, though not before the earlier chapters were read to and corrected by him. The subsequent understanding with the Long- fellow heirs renders the reading by the poet himself important, as showing direct authori- zation for the work, which the Longfellow heirs have since denied. In January, 1881, Mrs. Low went to Nahant with her sister Blanche and was a witness to the ratification of the complete work. Blanche Roosevelt's next book was „Marked in Haste, which had, and still has, a considerable sale. Her next was Stage Struck; or, She Would Be an — Singer, in which she attempted—for their own good—to deter American giris from going to Italy to learn opera, and to encou the founding in this country of a natio con- servatory of music. The book on which Miss Roosevelt“ s literary reputation will probably restis her ‘‘Life of Gustave Dore, which she did n English and which has been translated into Fre ‘| man, Swedish and Spanish. once an established starding circles of London and Paris. No inconsider- able charm ot the work was the fact that it contained many — 2 of Dore’s work never until then published, drawn albums and on the fiy-leaves of Roosevelt spent two years of work on the **Life of Dore.“ : „rn COPPER QUEEN’’ AND ITS PLOT.

Her husband is a dark, handsome Italian, tall, slender and intellectual. His black hair and mustache curl closely and are calculated to attract the attention ofaromantic woman. It was the romantic woman in this case who attracted the attention of the Marquis. They met ata fete at Milan. The young American girl’s shawl fell from ber carriage. The gallant Marquis picked it up and didn’t rest until he got an introduction. ‘‘And so they were married—and i've happily ever afterwards.’’ Madame, the Marquise d’Allegri, is expected to visit her family in this city very shortly.

They were taken prisoners in Jo, and in the course of their captivity they committed seri- ous assaults on ssian soldiers who were setoverthem. For these offenses they were sentenced to long terms of incarceration in fortresses, and were not allowed to com- municate with 7 4 when Frederick an amnesty was prepared and it in- cluded the Frenchmen, who straightway set out on their way to France. They reached Issoudun, their native town, to see several changes. One found his wife married a sec- ond time, andthe mother of many children. The other had left his wife in 1870 on the eve of her confinement, and returned to find and who had been married some months. It is easy to conceive the confusion of fact and of 8 that must arise in such eases.

The most startling case that has yet been reported comes from Florence. The residence of Mr. R. H. Bigham was struck and he and his wife were seriously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Bigham was sitting on a sofa near the wall of the east end of the house, and a little sister of Mr. Bigham was sitting about six feet distant. The lightning struck the east end of the house, demolishing it entirely, hitting Mr. Bigham onthe head and running down his right side, tearing the shoe entirely from his foot. His wife was tnrown about six feet inte the center of the room and both were covered with the falling timbe@fs and terribly bruised. The little sister was not hurt nor even shocked. She removed the timbers from her brother and his wife and then went for assistance. Mr. Bigham was thought to have been fatally injured, as he did not speak for ten hours after the shock. Both arms were paralyzed, but at last accounts it was thought possible for him to recover, It is thought that there were many casualties in the remote country districts. Dragging for T. H.

A WIDOW’S MISFORTUNE, Robbed by a Man and Woman She Had Taken in—A Moving Tale. Mrs. Eliza Walters, an aged widow, resid- ing on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South- ern road between DeSoto and Victoria sta- tions, called at the Four Courts last nizht and made a report ofa robbery that 18s strikingly sad in its particulars. She owns a farm down there on which she lives, and it is all in the world she possesses, Last year was a very bad one with her. First her crops failed then the railroad company destroyed her fences, andthe old woman met with one misfortune after another untilshe was in most straightened circumstances. To purchase food and sustain life she had to mortgage her farm. Matters went better with her this year and she managed to save $400. In addition to this she still had $110 of the mortgage money which she had not used as she had exercised the strictest economy. This money, $510 in all, she kept in the pocket of her dress. She wanted to sell her farm and in case she failed to do this intended payinuw off the mortgage with the money. A couple of weeks ago there came to her place a man and woman who wanted to work. She told them she had noth- ing for them to do, but they said they had walked all the way from St. Louis and must have somethin todoand somewhere to stay. They woul 1emain with her and do what work they could and sleepin her barn. Mrs. Walters had no employment forthem and consequently they would be of little use to her. They said they had been sick and told such a sad story that her pity wasenlisted, and as they were determined to stay anyhow, she would not hear of their sleeping in the barn, but insisted they must sleep in the house while they remained. Their clothes were ragged and they looked like tramps. The man said his name was Peter Engel. He was a German about 2 years of age and could scarcely speak any English. His wife gave her age as 20 years, said she was born in St. Louis of German 72 2 Her maiden name, she said, was ily Deitenbroch, and her family resided on the St. Yharles Rock road, St. uls. The woman claimed her father was quite wealthy, owuing the St. Charles Park, as it was called, and other places. An uncle of her owned a lot of property out there. She had not been well treated by her father, and worked in restaurants. It was thus she met Engel, who was a soldier. Last summer they married, he playing off and sick, so as to secure his release from the army to marry her. Her story completely won over Mrs. Walters. The old lady permitted them to remain at her place, feeding them all the time, though they did what little work they could to help her. Yesterday morning about 10 o’ciock Mrs. Engel told her she was giving to DeSoto where she had a promise of employment. Both she and her husband left. In the afternoon about 3 o’clock Mrs. Walters discovered that her $510 had been stolen from the pecket of her dress which she had care- lessly left in her room under her _ pillow. She realized immediately that — 5 and wife had taken it. She went to DeSoto, where she learned Engel had pnr- chased a new suit of clothes and heand his wife had taken the train for St. Louis. She followed them here, and vas referred by the depot police to the Four Courts. At the Chief’s office she made a full report of the matter and gave a descrip- tion of the parties. It is believed they have given her bogus names, as their names can- not be found in the City Directory. The old lady is very disheartened as she will now be unable to meet the mortgage falling due on her farm, they hav- ing tuken every dollar she had in the house. The money with which she came to St. Louis in pursuit of them was borrowed by her for the purpose. MANGLED BY AN ENGINE, Frank E. Snowden Run Over by a Missouri Pacific Locometive. Frank E.Snowden, residing at No. 2341 Hick- ory street, was run over and terribly mangled by a freight engine at the Twenty-third-street crossing of the Missouri Pacific Road about 6 o' clock last evening. He was knocked down and dragged along the track some distanee. He had a four-inch scalp wound on the right side of his head above the ear, and his whole scalp was swollen, his right temple, left temple and left eye were also cut and bruised and he had an abrasion of the right shoulder, where he had been dragged by the locomotive. Snowden is 29 years of age, mar- ried and worked for the Shot Tower compaay. Killed by a Street Car. About 5:30 o'clock last evening while car No. 61 of the Mound City Line was going south on Thirteenth street, near the intersection of Linden street, it ran over a 6-year-old célored girl, Elizhbeth Swan, who lived with her grandmother at No. 713 North Thirteenth street. The child died almost immediately after the accident. Her right arm was broken near the shoulder and the ribs of her right side were crushed in. John Murray, the driver of the car, was ar- rested, but it is thougnt that he is not respon- sible forthe accident, as witnesses say the child was playing in the street and ran against the car while it was passing.

Kansas City, Mo., June 9.—John, Preston and Joseph Atkinson, three brothers, came from Darlington, 8. C., late last February and settled in Armourdale. They secured work in Swift’s packing-house and began to save every centthey could earn. When they had sufficient money lots were purchased and lum- ber enough to build a couple of modest hovses were added to the brothers’ possessions lateron. They were all practical carpenters and John was commissioned to construct the houses while the other brothers kept on with their work in the packing-house. After a time other carpenters were hired and just as the little dwellings were about completed and the boys were making ready to send for their old father, John took sick with malaria. He died after a week's iliness and in less than two weeks the other brothers, Joe and Pres- ton, also died of the same ailment. Before the father, who is 70 years old, could be sent for the bodies were interred at Oak- land Cemetery, and before he had time to arrive thieves entered the house where the trunks of the dead brothers were and rifled them, taking away considera- ble clothing. While John, who was the oldest, was on his death-bed he made a will giving all his property to a man named Tibbits. The fatber has instituted asuit in the courts to break the will onthe ground that his son was out of his head at the time he made it. The old father has no money and with the exception of two very young sons has no relatives. Denied Her Child, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATOR. ATLANTA, Ga., June9.—A suit for the pos- session of a child in Judge Clark’s court at - tracted more than usual interest to-day. The child, aged 10 years, was born under anything else than pleasant circumstances. Her mother .is now known as Mrs. Nora Ridge, in Kansas City, where she lives, but at the time of the child’s birth she was known as Nora Clayton, a woman of bad repute. Mrs. Ridge with tears in her eyes made a state- ment to the effect that the littie girl had been visited by her quite 1 ge! at the residence of Mr. Holmes, and he had agreed to deliver the child whenever she called for it. It seems that she had called since her return from St. Louis, and 5 D. Holmes refused to “et up thechild. Soshe swore out a writ of abeas corpus for the possession of the little girl. Mr. Holmes states that the little girl was found in a basket at the door of Mrs. G. B. Stewart ten years ago, and had been left by Mrs, Stewart at his home to be eared for. At the first the girl was only cared for on account of humanity, but Mr. Holmes and his wife, who is now dead, became attached to Little Rosa. This affection was soon superceded by alovethat was as devoted as if the little creature had been their own child. Finally Mrs. Holmes was taken ill and died and the child was tenderly cared for by Holmes and his widowed sister, Mrs. Mary J. Summers.

They again retired and kept up the three to nine baliots until about 8 o’clock, when they finally agreed ona verdict for the defendant.

Ten days after the marriage he discovered that she was unfaithful. She confessed her fault and begged to be taken back. Nugent gave her another chance, but it wasn’ttwo weeks before he found a letter to his wife from one Jane Murphy. The contents of the letter were incon- sistent with the supposed sex of the writer, for it made an appointment with her. Nugent followed her and found her in one Tim Downey’s room at 182 South Morgan street. Nugent extracted a full confession from his wife, which he made her put in writ- ing. The written confession was handed to the Judge. In it Mrs. Nugent said that she had been an abandoned person since she was 12 years old, at which age she was guilty of improper conduct with one Phillip Metzger. She promised as a penitence to perform the stations of the cross every Sunday for a year and appear in mourning for the same length oftime. Nugent is 50 years old while his wife Is only %.

Rev. Mr. Ball’s Suit for Libel. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. BuFFALO, N. Y., June 9.—Rev. George H. Ball, who is suing the New York Evening Post for libel, has been a witness before the referee this week in some preliminary pro- ceedings. Dr. Ball told how the scandal of 1884 originated. He had been identified with an independent a ope league. Mr. Ball admitted that he had got money from Judge Titus who gave him an order for $60 on the Democrat County Committee, ‘‘did you apply to any candidate for office money’’ he was asked. Mr. answered. ‘‘I may haye asked some one.“ While Mr. Cleveland was Mayor, Mr. Ball sol- icited him and obtained $50. He wrote to Rev. Mr. Abbott, eeitor ofthe New York Christian Advocate, about the scandal and he might have sent it by Rev. Mr. Hubbell. The letter referred to Mr. Cleveland’s alleged drunken and immoral habits in very strong terms. He made no effort to find out if the charges were true. The matter was discussed by Dr. Geo. Lewis, brother of Supreme Court Judge Lewis, Hen 8. Cunningham, Henry L. French, J. J. McWilliams, a coal merchant, and oth: ers. Other clergymen concerned in the Tell the Truth, pronunciamento were Rev. D. H. Muller, now of Cleveland, Rev. John Gordon, Rev. Frank Fitch, Rev. Mr. Fischer, Rev. Wm. 8. Hub- bell, Rev. E. E. Rivers and Rev. S. 8. Mitch- ell. The examination was very rigid aud was intended to show that the preachers used no efforts to investigate the scandal. Decided Against the Society. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. FAIRMOUNT, III., June 9.—Ten years ago Stephen Griffith, a citizen of this county, died and willed $10,000to the Methodist Episcopal Extension Society, now having its headquar- ters in Philadelphia. Inso doing he left his family penniless and paupers. The condi- tions of the bequest required that the society should pay to Alfred, his son, $500 annually. As soon as the society got full possession of the property it ignored the conditions. Alfred died @ pauper and was buried by the county. The remaining heirs, his children, brought suit against the society, and after six years litiga- tion word was received to-day from Philadel- phia that judgment had been rendered against the society not only to fuifill the conditions of the will but for arrearages and attorney fees amounting to over $3,000.

By Telegraph tothe POST-DISPATCH. Boston, Mass., June 9.—It was learned to- day that the remains of the late Rev. Fr. W. H. B. Deasy, formerly of Boston, and at the time of his death Vice-Rector of the American College in Rome, came from Naples, Italy, to New York, consigned to John A. McSorley & Son, Custom- house brokers of New York, as a package of marble. This expedient was adopted in order toavoid arousing the superstitious fears of the Italidns, who share inthe highest degree the belief current among sailors that a ship will be lost on the voy- age if it has a dead body on beard. To overcome the difficulties of having Father Deasy’s remains transported in the ordinary way, his friends concluded to have them boxed for shipment in such a way as to attract no attention, and shipped them asfreight. The package was labeled ‘‘mar- ble, and consigned tothe above-mentioned firm. It also hada private mark by which it could be distinguished trom packages of ordi- nary freight on arrival, and this private mark was communicated to Messrs Mesorley when the shipment was made. The remains ar- rived on the steamer Alsatia, which reached New York on sunday, June 8. Mr. McSorley went to the dock to secure the pre- cious freight and found that the box in which it was contained was far down in the hold among a number of miscellaneous heavy paca es, many of which were above t. r. Mesorley found a boss stevedore whom he knew to be a Catholic and told him that the remains of a Catholic priest were in the hold, at the same time giving him the private mark onthe box. The stevedore immediately set his men at work and had the box on the dock in a ve short time. Neither the captain nor any of the crewor passengers were aware ofthe contents of the box. . McSorley then delivered the remains to Mesers. John Cotter and A. F. McDermott brothers-in-law of Father Deasy, who had come on from Boston to receive them. 0 The Forty Hours.

4 LOUIS, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1888. LANCASTER TESTIFIES, THE PLAINTIFF IN THE $150,000 LIBEL SUIT HAS A BAD DAY IN COURT. Mr. Glover Compels Him to Tell How He Used His Customers’ Money in Very Risky Transactions Without Their Knowledge and Consent—Mr. Lancaster Is Also Foreed te Detail How He Pianned With Ed Butler to Have the Spoils of a City Of- fice Divided While Britton Was Mayor— Shady Political History Brought to Light On the Witness-Stand—The Trial to Be Concluded Te-Mvrrow. HE $150,000 damage suit of R. D. Lancaster against John M. Glover will end as to testi- mony to-morrow morning. Then the - counsel will argue, the instructions will de ‘ given and probably a verdict will be reached before the nightcomes. The case has occupied the attention of the court exclusively for four weeks and a Gay, the trial opening four weeks ago last Friday. Nearly two hundred wit- nesses have been examined and 1,500 pages of notes have been taken by the stenograpbers. Those notes if transcribed will fill a book about twelve inches thick,which will contain nearly five bundred thousand words. The case has covered more days than the famous suit of David S. Fotheringham against the Adams Express Co. which was recently tried in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Amos M. Thayer, but owing to the infinite number and the great extent of arguments on objections the records of the Lancaster-Glover case will fall at least 100,000 words below that case. H. D. Laughlin, who appeared as counsel for the defense in that case, was counsel for the com- plainant in this case. He did not attempt to break the record he made in the four days’ cross-examination of Fotheringham, nor at any time did he exhibit the fire and per- sistence so notable in the Fotheringham case. The examination by Mr. Laughlin of Mr. Glover, and the cross-examination of Mr. Lancaster by Mr. Glover yesterday afternoon were the most interesting features of the trial. The morning testimony was in rebuttal, and Was on the subject of character. Samuel Kennard thought Lancaster’s repu- tation was good, though he had heard him attacked. Jas. O. Broadhead had heard of the Dark Lantern, but knew nothing about it. John O’Day said Mr. Lancaster’s reputation Was good. Eimer B. Adams failed to remember some things he was asked about, and Wilber F. Boyle could not tell Lancaster’s reputation. John B. Creager testified that Mr. Lan- caster’s reputation was good. „ John Corkery was put on to prove that R. Graham Frost was practically in an asylum when his testimony was taken. The attempt was not successful. R. D. LANCASTER was then examined. He attacked M. B. Kul- lian, explained the nature of the split book’* which had been so extensively talked about in connection with Big Muddy Iron Co. affairs, and then the court adjourned till 2 o’clock. AMOS M. THAYER, United States Circuit Judge, took the stand when the court began its afternoon session. He testified that caster’s general reputa- tion for integrity was good. n cross-exam- ination he testified that he had paid into the hands of H. D. Laughlin a sum of money to be used for election expenses at the time he 1 was a candidate for the City Circuit ench. Did you pay him this money in his official capacity as the then Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee?“ Mr. Glover asked. ‘*He was a warm personal friend, and I sup- pes the money would be properly expended im. Fou did not know that it was to go into the coffers of a secret political organization of which Laughlin, Lancaster, Ed Frank D. Turner were members?“ „No, Sir. Mou do not snow now whether that money went for legitimate expenses of the cam- Ihave no knowledge of its dispo- 2 pooled your arrangements with the candidates who were then in the „Ha ony of fieid?’’ No, sir.’’ Do you know how it was that all the suc- Cersful candidates in that race paid money into the treasury of that secret political organ- ization?’’ Ido not know. Tou have paid local politics, have you not? observer, since that time.’’ „es, as an observer. Nou remember the scandal followimg the oandidacy of Judge Wickham forthe Court of Appeals? 80 ‘[ remember something about it.’’ „There was an attack made upon Judge Wickham growing outof the manner of his nomination, was there not?’’ There was. Have you beard a nick -name applied to the plaintiff in this case growing out ot that saction?’’ The witness evidently th names had been applied to ed: ‘‘What name?’’ ‘Dark Lantern Diek. ‘*I think that was applied to Lancaster be- fore that time.’’ **How long before?’’ **T cannot say. Do you think a man’s political reputation d to whom that or a similar name has been applied for ten years?’’ That depends. Those who know Lan- caster would not lessen their regard for him in consequence of its application, but it would have a very different effect upon the public at “The opinion of reputation, is it no Tes. „Well, can you not state what Lancaster’s reputation is with the public at iarge?’’ ‘I cannot cast up between those who would be affected by such a refiection on Mr. Lan- ea and those who would not be affected by LANCASTER AGAIN ON THE STAND. The Judge wus excused and Mr. Lancaster resumed the stand. He told about discount- ing the note ofthe Big Muddy Iron Co. for $16,000 at the Central Savings Bank, with his own and Dr.O’ Reilly’s indorsement on it after the „ — had deen refused the accommoda tion. e told how he came to retain $40 col- lected as an asset of the Big Muddy Iron Co.

He came to. me about advieed him to Ci Butler and tho a you took in this matter at any time? Never. What he has testified to never oc- curred. „Tell the about this Russell matter. „T. A. Russell was a candidate for Court of Appeals. He came to my house two or three times about the matter to advise with me. I was sick, and the day before I left for Hot Springs I a conversation with him on the street. He then asked me how much the primaries wuld cost. I told him I did not know, but if primaries were held as two years previous it would cost about „500. Did you have anything to do with the elec- tion of delegates to the convention before which he was a candidate?’’ No, sir; I was at Hot Springs at the time. ‘‘Have you ever demanded money of any man for your political influence or services?“ Never. Do you remember the organization of the so-called ‘Dark Lantern?’ ’’ es, sir. met a number of other gentlemen at your office to discuss the propriety of nominating Circuit Judges with the Court of Appeals Judges instead of in the poiitical convention as previously.

The witness explained the conveyances he made of real estate subsequent to going on Distiller Busby’s bond, to secure notes given in accommodation of the Big Muddy Co. THE DEADLY CROSS-BXAMINATION. Mr. Glover took him in hand for cross- examination. The spectators in court shifted in their seats and re- pared for interestin scenes. hey expected that fur would fly, but though the examination was interesting, there were no outbursts of temper. The plaintiff and defendant were courteous throughout the ex- amination. Mr. Glover began with the question Tou have stated that Mr. Killean never did any work?’’ **T did not aay so. What did you say?“ **] said he does not work now. If you want to know what else I said it was that heisa dead beat, a forger and a drunkard.’’ We will not go into that.

I believe No, sir.’ ‘*‘Some relation by marriage?“ None. „Married your wife’s sister?“ „res. The witness appeared to think his dodging the question had done him no good and hastened to explain the sequence of the — The defendant glared at him, and or a moment there were signs of a storm, but the examination proceeded. „What were you worth when you went on Busby’s bond?’’ „Between $25,000 and $30,000.’’ ae was the first Big Muddy Co. organ- ize * Fore part of 1872.

Two pieces he named were in the abstract of his property furnished at the time he went on Busby’s bond. He got to the statement eventually that he had about $90,000 in cash in 1872. Where did you have this money?’’ **Loaned to the Big Muddy Iron Co,’’ But before that was organized?’’ Loaned on deeds of trust. Mr. Glover read a part of the dep- osition of Joseph H. Tiernan, Lancaster’s artner, which was to the effect that neaster had taken 545.000 of the firm’s money and had put it in the Big Muddy. Tiernan did not protest against this, as he thought at the time that it was a profitable in- vestment. It appears then, Mr. Lancaster, Mr. Glover said, ‘‘that it was not your money that was invested in the Big Muddy Iron Co., but money belonging tothe firm of Lancaster & Tiernan.’’ There's some mistake about that. Either you have not read that right, the steno- grapher did not transcribe correctly, or Tier- nan did not understand the question that was asked him. He must have been thinking about $20,000 or $25,000 belonging to customers which was used to take up notes of the Joliet Iron CO. Jou took money belonging to customers for that purpose?’ ’ „es * Did 2 have any authority to invest their money in that way?’’ None.

I used the money, but I intended to pay it back.’’ That's what they all say. But you couldn't pay it back?’’ Not then. I did afterward: No man ever lost a cent through me.’’ Joa, understand that real estate men are do. I know the customs of real estate men and bankers.’’ ‘*‘After you had gone upon Busby’s bond you went to see the Collector of Internal Rev- enue and told him you did not think you were good enough for the bond, didn’t you,’’ ee es * „How long after?“ „Under sixty days. „What had occurred to lead you to think that you were not solvent?’’ „„ do not know.

It opened up a mine of munici- pal history, and disclosed what a lawyer within the bar described as ‘‘politics as she is politict.’’ Do you know T. L. O’Sullivan?’’ Very well; since 1870.“ „This isthe gentleman, is it not?’’ asked Mr. Glover, and he beckoned forward Mr. O'Sullivan, who had been sitting near the sail of the bar, but now advanced and took a seat back of Mr. Glover. „Oh, yes. Iknowhim. That's he. Was he Inspector of Weights and Measures under Mayor Britton?’’ He was Did you ever present to him an agreement for him to sign under which he was to pay to yourself and Ed Butler a part of his salary in consideration of your services?’’ Noe, slr.“ The question was put in another form and again answered in the negative. Then Me- Laughlin told his client to ‘‘tell the whole story, and the witness began. 1 have been charged, he began, but his counsel interjected Tell the story, and he began again. He said: Jam glad to have an opportunity of telling the whole story. Mr. James H. Britton was a friend of mine and O'Sullivan was a candi- date forthatoffice. Butler was a candidate for that office. Mr. Britton called mein one day and saidtome: ‘O’Sullivan is a candidate and Butler is a candidate. I understand that this office has been divided up between two men always. It is a large office and supposed to be worth $15,000 a year. New I cannot ap- point both, and if they will consent I will make the appointment of one of: them, if the will agree to work the office together and di- vide the profits.’ And he requested me to see those purties and ask them it they would consent to do that thing and also which one would be appointed. That was before the appointment was made. At his request I saw O'Sullivan, who was then a friend of mine, as I considered. I also saw Butler and Kortkamp, a member of the Coun- cil, and we all talked the matter over, and it was agreed that O'Sullivan was to be ap- pointed by Mr. Britton and that Butler was not to work himself but was to put a man in with him and divide the profits. I reported the matter back to Mayor Britton, and he said, ‘thatis all right; I will make the appointment of O'Sullivan,’ which he did. I understood that O'Sullivan did not keep big part of the ngreement.’’ Who wrote the agreement?’’ ‘*‘Kortkamp, or myself; I don’t know now. What became of the agreement?’’ **T have never seen it since.“ Was it not put in your safe?“ No, sir.“ Where were you when it was written?“ J don’t know—’’ Oh, now, weren’t don't remember. What was the office worth?’’ Britton told me it was worth 515,000.“ Britton is dead, I believe?“ No, he is alive.’’ Mr. Laughlin: ‘‘Died recently. Oh! did he?’’ the witness exclaimed. ‘*I had not heard ofthat. The last I heard of him he was in New York.’’ What did Britton get out of the divide?’’ Nothing.“ MWnat did you get? „Nothing. **Why were you selected as a go- between?“ ‘*Il was Britton’s friend. ‘*Isee you want to put all this on Britton; but what I want to know is, how you got into the matter. Couldn’t they settle it between themselves?“ **I suppose 80.“ Wasn't O'Sullivan a friend of Britton’s ?’’ No, sir. He had no more to do with Brit- ton than you'll ever have to do with Queen Victoria.’’ He was fat oo. He was simply one of the party workers at that time and it was thought he was entitled to some reward. Did you not go to O'Sullivan and tell him you could fix the matter?’’ After the Mayor asked me to. „And when he went to Britton about it Britton told him he knew nothing of it?’’ J Know nothing about that. The remainder of Mr. Lancaster’s testimony was on Big Muddy accounts. Mr. Laughlin then read a letter to the President written by Mr. Glover prefacing a pamphlet containing an abstract of the testi- mony of important witnesses in the deposi- tions of the present suit. The defense offered the other portion of the pampbiet. DR. LE GRAND ATWOOD, Superintendent of the City Insane Asylum, was called and testified that he was chairman of the Congressional Committee chosen in the Ninth District in 1878, at the time of the quar- rel over the Frost assessment. The testimony was not important. MR. GLOVER was calied to the stand by Mr. Laughlin. The defendant mounted the stand and turned a ieee face upon the plaintiff's counsel. Did you not in 1886,’’ began Mr. Laughlin, who deliberately waited and then centinued, go to Philadelphia and Chicago and hire de- tectives to watch some one in St. Louis?“ did not. The witness was ready to an- swer further, but D. P. Dyer of his counsel objected. He wanted some limits setup. He not want the trial to go on forever. Let me answer, pleaded Mr. Glover. Ill give him what he wants. I’ve no ob- jection to answering.’’ Mr. Dyer consented and sat down. „1 did not go to Philadelphia or New York—’’ 15 asked about Chicago,’’ interrupted Mr. Li aghlin. Or Chicago. hr. Laughlin showed a disposition to inter- rutt again, but the alert witness held up his finger, crying: ‘‘I know what you want; wait, I’m coming to it. But I got detectives in St. Louis.’’ To watch whom?’’ ‘*Ballot-box stuffers,.’’ Find any?“ asked Mr. Dyer. Well, I estimate I was beaten out of twenty votes in every precinct.’’ That ended Mr. Giover’s testimony. Then there was a wait of nearly an bour as C. C. Maffit, Jerry Frum and Valle Reyburn, who had been called as witnesses in rebuttal were notin court. Judge Valliant insisted on end- ing the testimony before adjournment, and attachments were issued for the missin witnesses. The court then took an informa recess. The jury went out to smoke and stretch their legs. After a time the Deputy Sheriff announced the witnesses could not be found, and the court then ordered an adjourn- ment till to-morrow morning, when the case will be concluded.

By Telegraph to the Post-DisPpatTcnu. EW YORK, June 9.— The hotels this week bave not been over- crowded and the pages of the registers have been especially barren of entries from St. Louis. This is explained by the am fact of the conven- E tion being held there. Those who bad business to transact here last week hurried home, and but few left while the conven- tion wes in session. Many hotels do not show a single arrival from St. Louis, which is rather remarkable. THE FAMOUS sr. LOUIS BROWNS: A group of stalwart, sunburned men at- tracted much attention in the dining-room of the Grand Oentral Hotel during the past week. They were the famous St. Louis Browns, who have been playing their series of games with the Brooklyn Base Ball Club. Though the boys did not win as many games as they would have liked to, yet their gentle- manly behavior and general good humor won them many friends. Latham, with his usual flow of spirits, kept everybody in a smile, even to the rather serious field captain, Com- iskey. . H. W. Gerke stopped at the Grand Central a few days and returned to St. Louis in time for the last day of the convention. ST. LOUISANS IN GOTHAM, A tall, fine-looking man registered at the Union Square Hotel last Wednesday as D. Duncan of St. Louis. He was accompanied by his wife. Shortly after retiring he was taken with palpitation of the heart. Four doctors were called in and worked over him for some hours, assisted by Mrs. Duncan. By morning he was fully recovered and started away on a short pleasure trip. , Mr. John J. Mitchell, who is a frequent visitor to New York,has been at the Fifth Avenue dur- ing the past week. Although nearly 70 years old Mr. Mitchell locks twenty years younger. His hair is just turning gray and his firm clear signature on the register is like that of a young man. He took great interest in the news from St. Louis, but had little to say on the nominations. Mr. M. M. Buck, a prominent St. Louis Re- publican, has made the Fifth Avenue his headquarters for the past few days. Mr. Buck is a fine-looking man about 40 years old. He is very lively and darts around like a school boy. He would like to see Blaine nomi- nated, but will support whatever candidate the party puts up. Mr. Buckissaid to be quite wealthy. He is intimate with some of the big Republican leaders of this city. Robt. Moore and Capt. John P. Keiser were were among the St. Louis contingent who ap- peared on Broadway last week. J. C. Ewald, a prominent St. Louis man, al- ways stops at the St. James. He arrived on last Monday and did notreach home in time for the convention. Mr. J. W. Fletcher was in town for one day, and left for the East. Mr. 8. H. Sey- mour, who owns a big hotel in San Francisco, but who claims St. Louis as his home, has been a familiar figure on Broadway forsome days. He is a keen, sharp-looking business man, and his decided actions explain his success. He generally stops at the Sturte- vant House, and his name appears on their books this week, . Bronzed and healthy looking from his foreign travels, young Dr. A. C. Bernays ar- rived in this city last Friday. He visited ail the principal cities on the eontinent, and atter a short sojourn in this city he will return to St. Louis. The Doctor is rather short and sturdy in build, and is a clever conversa- tionalist. To-day he walked up and down the corridors of the Gilsey House with Gov. Alex. Sheppard of Washington, who has also been here for some days. A rather striking-looking couple are Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Grier, who have been staying for some days inthe city. They seem to enjoy the Broadway promenade with its life and gaiety on pleasant days. They, too, have made the G = pe | their temporary home. At the Hoffman House but two people registered from St. Louis during the week. They were L. M. Potter, the well-known merchant, and Mr. Emil D. Weiss. This small number at the Hoffman House is a littie out of the usual course. Many of the Democratic stalwarts make it their headquarters when here. Chas. P. Chouteau of St. Louis is one of the most interesting citizens of a —1 0 to which the eyes of the national public have been directed with unusual interest during the past week. Mr. Chouteau is a striking figure in the lobby of the St. James Hotel just now, tall, straight, eye undimmed dy the that have whitened his hair, of face and hearty of hand. The Chouteaus were among the first of the old French set- tiers, who sailed up from Nouvelle Orleans and founded a city, which they named for the saint king of their own France. Chouteau avenue, Chouteau park and Chouteau statues remind the visitor of the debt ‘‘the Future Great’’ city of the world, as the Democratic convention town was once called, owes to her French pioneers. SENATOR SHERMAN’S LEVEE. A tall, angular man, whose hair and beard were as gray as a badger’s, but whose eyes were as een as a hawk’s, satin a handsome private parior atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day and received a stream of politi- cal visitors, One of the clerks was kept busy tor hours directing inquirers to the tall, angu- lar man’s room. Once there they were treated with grave consideration and ice water, and it soon became evident that an important move on the political chess board was being hatched out. he host, whose black coat, of the best broadcloth, hung from hisshoulders in stately folds, was heard to speak several times of South Carolin-l-a’’ and to express in confi- dence that he was in very truth Ohlo’s favorite son. He was John Sherman and his 3 visitors were reporters anxious to now what he thought of ‘the ticket. SAM HUNT. Samuel F. Hunt, better known to the ‘‘*id’’ Democracy of Cincinnatias ‘‘Sam,’’ is a: the Fitth Avenue Hotel. Mr. Hunt is of the famous old family that produced Sallie Ward Hunt, the ‘‘most beautiful woman in Ken- tucky,’’ and he is proud of it. He is a smooth- faced rosy-cheeked young man, young in spite of both years and experience, anda nephew of Minister George H. Pendleton. The uvuncular reputation and recognition have tended to keep Mr. Hunt in the shade politically in bis part of Ohio, but he is a favorite son of the Hamilton County Democracy, and when Thurman, Pendieton and the old boys get through with the honors of the Buckeye State, his friends believe he will yet go to Columbus and to Washington with full-blown laurels on his handsome brow.

At periodical intervals some of the famous collegiate institutions of the United States insist on their teachers taking a vacation and pay a large proportion of the expenses, even including a trip to Europe. Prof. W. G. Hale of Cornell, apassenger by the Queen of the National Line, is availing himself of this decidedly white“ conduct on the part of his alma mater or ‘‘white mother. It is proper to add that Cornell also insiste that her faculty shall not take a vacation except at these stated intervals, which are not so near together as to spoil the faculty. The schoolmaster abroad’’ will, from all indications, be found on the continent in much greater numbers than usual this summer. He doesn’t take much stock in polities and is rather glad to get away from a presidential campaign. Nor will the schoolmistress be lacking. GIRL GRADUATES EN ROUTE TO EUROPE. As schools close over the country, the teach- ers pour to New York to make purchases and preparations One of the handsomest of the visiting scholl marms’’ is Miss Ada May Smith of the Walnut Lune Seminary, a preparatory school for Wellesley. She will escort and chaperon quite a covey of fluttering girl graduates and under graduates through the haunts of the great men of the old world. Miss Smith is not — 3 the ideai ‘‘schoolmarm’’ or the traditional duenna, either. She is voted by all her pupils to be as ‘‘sweet as a peach’’ and as pretty as a picture. She can’t be over 25, and it requires a good deal of nerve for any but a particularly attractive pupil to go around with her. A HOME MISSIONARY. A Christian missionary in the streets of New York, who invites attention, notto the adol- escent Hottentot or the youthful Chinee, but to heathens notu thousand miles away, is an interesting and unusual figure. Rev. James M. Spencer is a tall, bright-eyed and frank- faced young man, whose life in the virgin mountains of the mineral belt of the Virginias has bred a ruddy color in his cheeks and a hearty gripin his fingers. New York capital has developed the mines and timber belts of the Virginia wilds and taught the semi-savages of that country—almost un- known to civilization fifteen years azo—how to take advantage of the material treasures of their ground. Mr. Spenceris now asking New York capital to help build churches and Sun day schools. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, Homes in Tyler Place for $25 Per Front Foot and Upwards. TERMS AND PRICES WITHIN THE ALL.

Mrs. Potter and ‘‘Kurl Blew’’ Filling the Hearts of Clerks and Shop Girls With Fresh Dreams of Love—Two Types of the Perfectly Beautiful in a Dramatic Show- Window—Grecian Beauty as the Popu- lace Regard It. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. EW YORK, June 9.— Mrs. Potter and Kyrie Bellew have been playing all the week at the Grand Opera-house. Every night that enormous theater has been nn- comfortably full of people. These audiences have been a study to me. I saw at once that an element pre- dominated there that was distinctive. I was told that it was not safe to as- sume that Mrs. Pot- ter attracted all these people, de- cause they come no matter who played. That theater was, in fact, the popular re- sortof the West Side, and that thousands of beaux along the great avenues toward the Hudson made it a rule to take their sweet- hearts regularly to the Grand Opera-house, irrespective of the attraction presented, and that thousands of fathers went there once a week with their families and never ventured into any of the other theaters. I watched these great assemblages with in- terest. They were made up in great part of hard-working men and women — practical, every-day, solid bread winners; smart young men with their sisters or lovers, jauntily tricked out for the occasion, and intent on getting their money’s worth of genu- ine enjoyment. Such an assemblage I could see was not ‘critical in the accepted sense of that word. It en- joyed the rhodo- montade of the Lady of Lyons“ much more than it did the poetic ar- dor of Romeo. It thrilled at the mock heroics of Claude and titter -/ ed at the effective- ness of Montague. A ripple of de- risive laughter ran round the house Mre. Potter. when Juliet kissed her veil and threw it over the balcony for Romeo to kiss in the same place. There was an unconscious admission on the part of all the sweethearts that they thought Juliet was a little sentimentai and Romeo rather fresh, and ali the young beaux assumed indifferent airs as if they wished their girls to understand that that sort of thing was all right enough in a play, but was not the proper caper in real life. Three or four cofhely young women te-hee’d 2 92 1 2 young women had thrilled with awe over Claude Melnotte’s es- capades, They admired his deception of the woman he so wildly loved, as if it were in some way heroic.

Somehow these experiences at the Opera-house made me feel how big New Y¥ was. How had 1 Res pate anew community that appeared to far removed from the —2 11 currents of criticism and inter- est? It had established its own center and was independent of Broadway. A * ebb and flow of humanity had been created on the Eighth avenue, and scarcely a bi ey of it reached the main artery of th wn. Here was Mrs. Potter hidin first-nighters and the critics, giving her Juliet to the town on a Thursday night, send- ing no invitationsto the press, making no special announcements, but depending on the outlying community which billowed up and ’whelmed the house. ; It was enough for them that the eye wat I wandered through the great fo of 3 rite ae temple between the acts, mingled young beaux, who their cigarettes and talk about their sweet- hearts, listened to them speak familiarly of ‘*Kurl Blew’’ as if they and Kuri were a terms, watched them try to walk with bis swing of the leg and lean up ainst the rail with his curve of the back and fail because their clothes were not cut right. * all admired ‘‘Kurl Blew’’ down in eir earts.

CROPS IN THE NORTHWEST, Pleuty of Rain and a Good Outlook for Spring Wheat. By Telegraph to the Post-Disraror. St. Faul, Minn., June 9.—In direct contrast to the bad crop reports constantly received from the winter wheat sections is the news from the epring wheat fields of the Northwest: Opening with a backward spring, continuous rains for a fortnight to three weeks in some parts of this State and Dakota bindered farm work to a great extent and filled the timid tradere with fears that the spring wheat yield would also be a very light one. The weather for the t week, however, has been favora- bie to growth of the grain, except corn, and as there wae no great amount of damage dene by the rains, except to retard work, it le probable that aa average crop of No. 1 hard wii be harweeted this season. Heavy frosts hare a re ed inthe northern part of the State, but no Injury has resulted to grain. northern tier of coun- Minnesota and Dakota complained of a ae of rain, but reports received since Tues- @ay all unte in stating that sufficient moist- wre has fallen for the present.

The acreage of wheat in the northern and Western part of Minnesota is slightly than last year.

The southern portion of the State suffered most from the early rains, and in some sec- tions small patches in the field have deen killed ont dy standing water. Latest advices, however, indioate that the loss from this cause will be comparatively light, as the damage has been not at all extensive.

AUTHORS’ HOME AND AUTHORS’ FUND. The Worthy Movement Started by Miss Fisher of Brooklyn. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. NEW Tonk, June 9.—Miss M. A. Fisher of 71 Java street, Brooklyn, lives with an invalid father in a large house in the Bastern District oftnat city. Sbe conceived the idea of using herspare rooms as a refuge for authors in tem- porary distress, allowing them to live there at cost price, or, if they were totally without means, rentfree. From this grew the plan of the Authors’ Home and Authors’ Fund. She hopes to raise a fund which will be placed in responsible handsand used to afford relief to needy authors, small annuities to the aged writers who have no support, and to give temporary aid to sick writers. The Home, it is hoped, will have endowed rooms, inthe manner that beds are endowed in hos- pitais, and no such tragedy as the double suicide of the old literary man and his aged wife in Harlem last year, through dread of being taken tothe Poor-house, will again be possible. Such well-known names in the ohurch as Rev. Drs. Dix, Morgan, Taylor, Bainsford and Eaton, are on the list of the patrons of the scheme. Such celebrated literary women as Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. N. P. Willis, Mrs. Vin- cenzo Botta, Miss Mary L. Booth, Miss Fanny Barron, Marquise De Lanza, Miss Kate San- born and Mrs. Anna Bowman Dodd, have indorsed it, and the society women whose interest as been enlisted are Mrs. Chauncey M.

HYGEIA HOTEL, OLD POINT COMFORT, Va., June 2.—At the confluence of Chesapeake Bay, Atlantie Ocean and Hampton Roads, with its numerous tributary rivers, the land abruptly juts out into these waters, and here, with the pure ocean air ever drifting over it, lies world- famed Old Point Comfort. Almost entirely surrounded by salt water, cool winds fanning us on all sides, one does not dread the summer, but rather courts it, bringing to usas it does here, so much of comfort and pleasure. The surf bathing is the finest. Fortress Monroe, with the many attractions to be found within its walls, is but a few steps away, and the drives about here are ful) of historical reminiscences, the National Soldiers’ Home, Hampton Normal Institute and the old town of Hampton, being within a radius of three miles. The fishing, sailing, crabbing and other sports are un- excelled. The Hygeia Hotel smiles out from all these natural attractions, the cheriest, the airest, the most delightful summer home that it has been one’s lot to find in many a day. It ac- commodates 1,000 guests, fronts upon the water fur one-eighth of a mile, the long ve- randas rising tier upon tier and upon which open the pretty, comfortable rooms. The very best people from Richmond, Balti- more, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, etc., Soto. are the Hygeia’s guests through the sum- mer, and they enjoy themselves as only the free-hearted, social children of the South can. The expected presence in Hampton Roads ofa part or the whole ofthe Atlantic squadron during the summer, the commence- ment ot the Artillery School at Fortress Mon- roe during the present month and many other special features are anticipated.

Over 835,000 Expended by the Citizens’ Com- mittee in the Kntertainment of the Visit- ing Democracy — Excellent Police Ar- rangements — Tammany’s Thanks—Pa- triotic Citizens Who Temporarily Re- nounced Their Politics to Pat Themselves in Sympathy With Their Guests—Conven- tion Hall Echoes. HE Executive Com- mittee of the Citizens’ Entertainment Com- mittee met yesterday afternoon to go over the accounts of the expenses of the Na- for the payment of some small accounts at once. It is estimated that the committee ex- pended $35,000 in the entertainment of the vis- itors of the week. Another meeting will be held early this week to audit other claims and to prepare a full statement for presentation to the Citizens’ General Committee. After disposing of the business the gentle- men discussed the occurrences of the week, and were fully satisfied with the results of their efforts to send the visit- ing thousands away well-pleased. Speak- ing of the entertainment, Mr. OC. O. Rainwater said: ‘‘The astoniahment of some of the vis- itors over the handsome treatment they re- ceived was very flattering to St. Loulsans. A Philadelphia delegate told us he had never seen a city wherein strangers were so well treated. He said he had absolutely seen per- sons, whom he recognized as St. Louisans by their dress and business engagements at the time, step off of the curb to allow vis'tors to pass them on the sidewalk. Other gentlemen in the party related similar incidents, trifling in themselves, but going to show, however, how generally the desire to do the proper thing extended. There was not a complaint at the hotels, and, in fact, nowhere, as far as we have been able to learn, except as for- warded by the representative of a single Chi- cago newspaper.’’ Every member of the committee expressed himself as WELL PLEASED With the manner in which St. Louis had ac- quitted herself as hostess while entertaining the Democracy of the country. The annual carnival undertakings have brought together a number of public-spirited citizens, who have had so much experience within the last few years in taking care of large crowds that a new duty of hospitality is discharged without those hitches and local spats which usually mar such occasions. The contact of citizens with strangers as the city’s guests in the numerous gatherings of the past few years has spread throughout the commu- nity a feeling that on such occasions everyone must do higmwn share towards the entertain- ment of the visitors. Since the adjournment of the convention the citizens have received many flattering com- pliments from the strangers. Among others, the following 1s paid by the LEADERS OF TAMMANY HALL: To the President of the Citizens’ Committee: DEAR SIR—We are instructed by the Tam- many Hall Delegation to express to the Citi- zens’ Committee and through your committee to your great city the heartfelt thanks of Tam- many Hall for the attention and kindness which that organization has experienced in St. Louis. We have been made to feel that our coming here was more than the visit of a weicome guest—that it was the reunion of one great family, united by ties of blood, though dwelling in different parts of our vast com- monwealth. And ever after the memories of the unfailing hospitality extended to us by the citizens of St. Louis, irrespective of party, will never fade. Very respectfully, RICHARD CROKER, Hud J. WALSH, JOSEPH J. O’ DONOHUE, LEICESTER HOLME. THOMAS, L. BRENNAN, Grand Marshal. Secretary Ellerbe and his assistant, Mr. John G. Sheldon, will remain at the head- quarters, No. 419 Olive street, for a few days to receive bills and preparea final statement of the expenses for the General Committee. Before leaving the city the Sergeant-at- Arms complimented the St. Louis police force highly for the assistance given in the taking charge of the throngs at Convention Hall. He said that he Was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency displayed by the various details of officers sent to do duty at the Exposition building. The only drawback in the police arrangements was at the fireworks display. Through some misunderstanding hundreds of vebicies of every description were allowed to take up places on Twelfth street, between Market street and Olive street, cutting off the view of thousands who attended the display on foot expecting that the Twelfth street boulevard would be kept clear on that evening. The hotel people feel very grateful for the — — afforded them during the week. etective officers were stationed in the hotels at all hours, and no serious losses were sus- tained. Anumber of visiting hotel thieves and pick- pockets who came to this city expecting to reap a harvest were taken into custody without delay. The Republican citizens, who patriotically subordinated their political sentiments to their duties of citizens of St. Louis, caused some merriment. Several well-know Repub- licans, to being the city’s guests nearer to their entertainers, re- nounced their party during the week and applauded Democratic mottoes and sentences with a robustness which removed every sus- picion in the minds of the strangers.

Jean C. Agancr Wants a Diverce From His Wife. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPaTcu. CoL_umnbes, O., June 9.—Rev. Jean C. Aganer to-day filed a petition for divorce from his wife, Mary, on the ground of desertion and neglect ofduty. The couple have only been married two years and Mrs. Agancr leg her husband in December. She is now living with friends in Cleveland, and it is understood that she is preparing for the stage. It is stated that she was engaged to a Cleveland gentlé- man, but her mother persuaded her to break off the engagement and marry the minister. He belongs to the Chris- tian Church and was formerl sta- tioned at Toledo, but is now located at St. Louis, Mich., fora short time. At the time ofthe marriage the young lady lived in New London, O., and shared with her bru- nette sister the distinction of being the most popwne eee lady inthe town. The family was old and well known, and in good circumstances. The wedding created some talk, as Agancr’s manners, which were not of the meek and lowly kind, did not favorably impress the staid people of New London, who had watched the two young brides grow up from babyhood in their midst. That she would de- sert her reverend husband without cause is hardly credited by those who kuow ber. She possessed a une voice.

American Chinamen Contributing the Means for the Building of the Palace—Celestial Titles Selling at $1,000 Each—A Governor- | General to Be Appointed Ruler of All the Pigtails in the United States. HINA’S Emperor hasa scheme. It is a great scheme. In fact it is nothing more nor less than the establishment ofa branch of his Em- pire in this country. His idea is to hold all Chinamen in America as if they were still his subjects, and rule them just as it they were in China. The only dif- ference is that their di- rect ruler will be a sort of Governor-General, whom he will appoint and send here. This ruler is to be provided with a magnificent capitol building, to be erected in San Fran- cisco, which his celestial royalness pro- poses to make a sort of juvenile Pekin—an American addition of the Chinese capital. Wong Chin Foo, the well-known Chinese writer, says the scheme isto raise $250,000 by subscription among American Chinamen, and to erect with it a Chinese capitol, with hospital attached, in the city of San Francisco. Subscription books have been opened, and all Who give $1,000 or more are to be decorated with titles of nobility direct from the throne at Pekin. Their rank will be that of ‘‘Komfee,’’ similar to the Sir Knight“ or the German ‘‘Baron.’’ The appeals for contributions contain not only the names of leading Celestial merchants in San Francisco, but also those of the Chinese Consul and Chairman of Municipal Affairs of the Chiifornia metropolis. Subscription books have been sent to New York City and are to be found at the leading general supply stores kept by Chinamen on Mott street. The Chinese papers published in San Francisco contain full accounts of the schemes in the tea-chest language, and publish lists of lead- ing contributors. Chung Wha Way Gwan gave $2,500; the Sam TU Co., $8,000; Ning Yong Co., $8,000; You Wo Co., $2,000; Gon Chu Co., $1,500; Hah Wo Co., $1,600; Chin Nau Shing, $1,000; Kwong Hing Kee Co. „ $1,000; Show Hing, $1,000; Yeu Wah, $1,000. 4 string of 60 other names of people who gave frem $35 to $50 each is also published. Those who give $1,000 or over are to receive titles, as stated, and their names will be engraved upon tablets of gold and placed in a hall of the pro- 1 ae eet FO ee POM —˙— PO BP Hehe HW ih PET CO Y w NE SODA Heme & © le ad ica at least one class of nobility. It is averred that the almond-eyed race intend to aiso ob- tain a plot of ground from the Mormons and to establish there the ‘‘Nationless Man of the Moon’’ government. The officers are to be chosen by the people, but the ‘‘Tiduc’’ or Governor-General must receive the sanction of the Emperor of China before he is quali- fied. When the new building is erected money is to be raised to defeat the Chinese immigra- tion bill and to protect the interests of China- men generally here. JOE CANN TALKS. A call was made by a Post-DISPATCH on Joe Cann, the Chinese grocer on Market street, yesterday to ascertain what his countrymen in this city knew of the scheme and what they were doing for the cause. „1 only know, he said, what I have read in the Chinese papers pub- lished in San Francisco. According to them the Emperor of China himself suggested the thing. He said that there were a number of his people in this country, but they had no building here. He thought it would be a good thing to erect a handsome structure in Cali- fornia, one that would be in every way worthy of the great Chinese Empire. AsI understand it he agrees to erect the building himself with Government funds and what subscriptions are received in this country for it will be only be asmallfraction of the total cost of the building. No particular amount has been called for from the Chinamen here. They are merely asked to give what they like. The building is to be erected regardless of cost. There is no telling how much may be expended upon it. The sum may exceed $100,000,000. Subscriptions are expected only from rich hinamen. Some of the San Francisco Chinese merchants have given as high as $5,000 AND $10,000 APIECE, I see by the Chinese paper, which I received from there last week. You see some of them are very rich; they are what you wouid call millionaires. In New York there are also some very wealtny Chinamen, but there are none in St. uls or in any ot the other cities. The New Tork and San Francisco merchants seli goods to Chinese all over the United States. Here our trade is confined to our own city. We sell no goods to Chinamen except those who live right here. ‘*Society is different in China from what it is in this country. Here everybody is alike. There they have what you would call nobility, and no matter how much money I 12 g0 back with I could not associate with the no- bility. Records of families are kept and their names are known through- out the Empire. Now while Chi- nese merchants in this country have money in plenty and are very rich, they do not belong to that nobility and could not associate with them. By giving $1,000 or more to this building they can become mem- bers of the nobility and receive tities. Their names will be entered on the records and they will be known throughout the Chinese Empire. It will entitle them 8 plates on their doors denoting their rank. ou see they can become what you call high-toned by pay 80 much money. They just bu social standing. course, only the rich Chinamen here can afford to do this. Then if they go back to the Chinese Em- pire to live they may receive from the Em- peror some high public office. AFTER THE HOUSE I8 BUILT it will belong to all the Chinese people & this country.

Of the scheme to pur- chase land from the Mormons and establish a Chinese Colony in this country, I know nothing. I have never heard of it.

The Result of the Judicial Contest Across the River. The official figures from all the counties in the Southern Illinois Judicial District, except Nar- din County, show Judge David J. Baker, the Republican and Union Labor candidate, to have a majority over Judge Chauncey 8. Con- ger, the Democratic nominee, of 2,960. Judge Baker’s election was a bitter blow to the Democrats, the district always having been nearly 2,000 Democratic. Many reasons were cited for Judge Conger’s defeat. The principal causes as- signed are the opposition of the labor element and the license people. Dissensions in his own party, however, undoubtedly had some- thing to do with it. At the time of his nomi- nation it was known that, although one of the ablest judges in Illinois, his candidacy was in- advisable. But the influence of Wm, R. Mor- rison, which is too often used for the purpose of gratifying his desire to get even to the detriment of the party, prevailed, and Judge Conger was put in nomination notwith- standing the fact that to those who calmly re- viewed thesituation it was 1 — that his defeat was inevitable. A publican who stands high in the councils of bis party in St. Clair County informed a Post-DIsSPATCH re- porter yes ay that had the Demo- crate nominated Wiliam KH. Snyder, who had the support of the Labor party pledged to him in the event of his nomination, Judge Baker would never have been a candidate, as it would have been considered a hopeless task to endeavor to overcome a Democratic majority of nearly two thousand with the Labor agg A and the Ger- man influence supporting e De nominee. There are 2 reasons for believ- ing the truth of this statement, and in the face of Judge Conger’s overwhelming defeat, the Democrats are deploring their short- sighted policy. The Republicans are rejoici greatly over Judge Baker's election, an claim his victory will have considerabie influence in the State campaign.

IND hearts are more than coro- nets. Itis on this poetic principle, probably, that a scheme that will interest every per son who has seen the beggar’s out- stretched hand, has just been put in operation in a quiet way in this city. It has been done by those who, en among the least conspicu- ous of reformers, can welllay claim to being Ita most practical reformers. Some three weeks ago a meeting of the same charitable men and women was held to take preliminary steps towards Organizing what might be called a ‘‘clearing-house for frauds, an organization to lessen the dangers of im- position upon the charitable. At this meeting a committee was appointed to arrange for a general meeting of those interested. This gathering of philanthropists came together Friday aft - ernoon at the id Y. M. C. A. building. Among those who were present were persons of both sexes whose helping hands have been laid upon the meanest of the race, whose voices have been heard amid the cries of crime, and cruelty and shame. THOSE PRESENT. There were Mrs. Skinner—“ Sister“ Skinner, as the Bethel folks call her—representing that moral isiand in the ocean ofsin; Mrs. Sue Owens, 30 long associated with the success of the Central Mission; Mrs. Tucker and Mrs. Faulkner, from the Mission Home; there, too, the smiling littie lady who assists in the Humane Society work; Rev.

There, if his name is not dow, they at once get him on the list,’ and then Inquire into his surroundings and as to whether he is telling the truth about his con- dition. These investigations will be carried on by volunteer ‘‘visitors’’ ofthe ‘‘clearing- house.’’ The promoters of the scheme, which is not Dy any means new, but is being tried in Eastern cities, where the struggle for exist- ence issharper, expect that it will do away with much of the imposition upon the charita- ble by affording a 5 ularly cut and guarded channel pony bys ich their streams of be- nevoleuce can flow.

By these officers a central coun- cll was provided for, to consist of the officers and two members to be chosen by them. This council will have a kind of appellate power, and to it will be reported the results of investigations for its decision as to the best action to be en. This coun- cil was not filied out at the meeting. Rev. D. W. Bartiett was pees the Committee on Constitution and By-laws. The promoters will meet every montn to discuss airs.

In regard tothe charge that the register system isa means of proscribing and brand- ing the poor wretches, Mr. Tilden said: It is simply a matter of self-protection with us. Here we want to give money to relieve honest distress. Now the question arises, who are honest? Are the honest to suffer because of the frauds? There is no branding or hunting down in this thing at all, and the chief objection of the New York protest falls flat as avainst our pur poses, since we do not propose to have our register open for the inspection of everybody. 18 will simply be used by the society’s officers to detect fraud.

M. Munkacsy’s New Paintings—The French Capital Crowded With Visiting Ameri- cans—Spring Scenes on the Champs Ely- sees—The Sale of Aimee’s Effects—Prince Henry of Prussia in His Boyhood, Special Correspondence of the P OST-DISPATCH. ARIS, May 25.— Society is just now very ani- mated, and there are num. bers of grand balls and re- ceptions every evening, for Paris is be- coming anuu- ally more and more like Lon“ don in the way of delaying it“ most brillian® entertain. ments till the advent of spring. The most attract- ive of the re- cent balis has been the bal costume given the other evening by M. Sernuschi, the well- known financier whose superb hotel on the Parc Monceau, is a veritable museum of Chinese and Japanese curiosi- ties. He possess amongst other rare and curious bronzes, a colossal statue of Buddha, which is the largest piece of bronze ever brought intact from Japan. The star of his fancy ball the other evéning was the Russian beauty, MME. BERNADAKY, the loveliest woman in all Paris. She was at- tired as Diana, in a marvelous costume made by Worth and composed of draperies in white satin, embroidered with silver, the cor- sage crossed with a leopard skin clasped on her shoulder with diamonds, and met by a garland in diamonds which traversed the corsage on the other side. In fact the whole dress was one blaze of diamonds, the jewels that she wore being worth at least $200,000. Mme. Bernadaky is not only a most beautiful woman but is also a very accomplished one, being one of the best amateur vocalists of the day. Mme. Mun- kacsy gave, the other evening, a very superb ball, her husband’s spacious studio being arranged as a ball-room. Her toilette of white satin, embroidered with pearls was justly and univer- sally admired. TwoofM. Munkacsy’s works, now nearly completed, adorn his studio. One is his large composition entitled The Duel, and the other is his very lovely portrait of the beautiful Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer of New York. It is my t¢onviction that, amongst all his fair guests that night, there was none fairer than the charming counterfeit presentment of the American beauty that smiled upon the dancers from out her gilded frame. AMERICANS IN PARIS. I have seldom seen Paris so thronged with American visitors at this season of the year. The hotels are crowded to their very garrets. Six omnibus-loads of travelers from the dif- ferent railway stations were turned away from the Hotel Continental the other evening. I am told that the letters of credit issued in America for Paris alone amounts this season to $25,000,000. And it must be confessed that the fair city is looking its loveliest just now. The tardy spring has arrived at last, with all ite own freshness com- bined with the balminess of early summer. The Champs Elysees shows long lines of horse -chestnut trees all in full bloom. In the Tuileries Garden and on the esplanade of Les Invalides the lilac bushes, or rather trees, so great are their dimensions, rise purpled from root to eummit with their delicate plumy flowers. The flower beds, show resplendent with masses of hyacinthe of every varied hue. The streets are crowded with the barrows of the flower dealers, piled high with violets and wail-flowers and mignonettes. Every- where there is freshness and ver- dure and the beauty of flowers and a cloudless sky overall. O, my friends, let me spend the spring monthsin Paris and my summers in England, and my autumn in the United States and my wintersin the Kiviero, and then—well, I think under such circum- stances one would scarcely care to die and go to heaven. THE SALE OF MLLE. AIMEE’S GOODS and chattels came definitely to an end yes- terday. As I wrote last week scarcely any of her possessions brought anvthing like their value, afact which was extraordinary, as she owned a quantity of really fine and curious Chinese and Japanese vases. She had been used alithrough her early life to the limited gains of an European dramatic career and when she went to the United States she made money so rapidly that she went in for spend- ing as freely as she earned. While she was in San Francisco, on her first visit there, the rage for Japanese curios was at its height and she bought everything in that line that struck her fancy. On one ovcasion she paid $40 apiece for three curious pieces of Japanese carvings in ivory,each the lower section of an elephant’s tus covered with rotesque figures and animals carved in full relief. he three pieces went at her sale for 318. Her handsome Chinese dinner service of 180 feces, cost originally $300 and went off at the otel Drouot for $40. A Japanese robe In silk embroidered with gold thread and colore silks, for which Aimee had paid $60, became the property of on old-clothes dealer for $12, Embroidered crape shawis and pieces of em- proidered satin andcrape, some of Chinese and others of Japanese origin were knocked down in lots at prices ranging from $ to $8. PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA. Prince Henry of Prussia, whose marriage to his cousin, the Princess Irene of Hesse Darm- stadt, took place yesterday in Berlin, is a very different personage from his morose and nar- row-minded elder brother. He isa charming young man, full of gaiety and bright spirits, and is the especial darling of his father, to the tedious hours at sick-room his youth and happy disposition has brought many alleviations during the past few months. The Princess Irene is the favorite niece of the Empress Vic- toria, and is said to be the oneof the four daughters of the Duke Louis who most resem- bles her lamented mother, the late Princess Alice. Sheis a fresh, fair, pleasing-looking girl, though she does not possess the lovelli- ness of her sister Elizabeth, the wife of the Grand Duke Sergius of Russia, who is incon- beauty par excellence descendan of Queen Victoria. ong he fair Elizabeth is only rivalled by her youngest sis- ter the Princess Alice, who is just 16 and who is extremely pretty. All * THE HESSE-DARMSTADT PRINCESSES are greatly petted and much looked after by Queen Victoria. The eldest of them all, her grandmother’s namesake, isthe sister-in-law of her aunt, the Princess Beatrice, as she is the wife of Prince Louis of Battenberg, the elder brother of Prince Henry. Notwith- stand! he general satisfaction given by this marriage there are some few wise physicians who shake their heads gravely respecting this new union of first cousins in the closely intermarried race of the Hohenzollerns, and there are not wanting per- sons to aver that many of the physical and mental ills that have assailed in late years the younger members of the royal families of Eu- rope have been directly traceabie to the per- nicious habit of constant intermarriage. The Spanish and the Orleans princes have been no- toriously the sufferers from this practice. The eldest son of the Duke and Duchess de Ohar- tres was an idiot from his birth and his serty death was simply a relief to his family. The eand Duchess de Montpensier have seen their children die, one after the other, around them. Of the two that survive, n Antonio, the only son, is half-witted. He. too, has married nis first cousin, the Infanto Eulalia of Spain, so that a dismal possibile heritage is in store for his children. 3 a Once, whilst attached to the eldest sister, th wa alace of whose | fun wen nary, ‘‘come soon ses if ers in the gar- low me at once with i asa h you with ple am ded the boy, ‘‘if you will only let me Warn papa as to Where am.“ Tour papa, who is your fatherand where doeshe live?’’ asked the ardlian. Papa isthe Crown Prince and he ives there,’’ answered Prince Henry, point- ing tothe palace. And the unhappy and too zealous funetionary nearly fainted. FOOLING THE POLICE. The Prince in tnose days used often to ac- company his father, then Prince Imperial, in his progress around in. Very often the crowd would press around the path of the be- loved heir to the throne and the police would be compelled to clear the streets. It was a favorite trick with Prince Hen to lag be- hind his fatherand tobe seiz and thrgat- ened by the police for obstructing the way, only to be released with fuse apologies on the discovery of his identity, Yesterday, just as the newly-wedded pair were about to take their departure, it was discovered that the traveling-bag of the Princess had been for- gotten, ‘‘My troubies as a married man have already begun,’’ wasthe comically doleful comment of the b&idegroom. Idoubt very much if Prince Bismarck was altogether leased with the match. Princess Irene, hough nominally a German Princess, is very English in her tastes and by her training. She will hardly prove as acceptable to the great Chancellor as her sister-in-law, the wife of the Crown Prince William, of whom Bismarck once said, ‘‘She iseverything she ought to be ~—she is a full-blooded German—she never meddles in politics, and she gives us a prince every year.’ Lucy H. HOOPER. AMELIE RIVES. The Truth Regarding the Sensational Stories in Circulation. Richmond (Va.) Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Miss Amelia Rives, who is probably the worst maligned young lady in the country, is at her home at Castle Hill, Albemarle County. She has not been away from there for nearly a year. The place is an old-time Virginia estute long in the possession of the Rives family, and is situated afew miles from the Chesa* peake & Ohio Railroad. Miss Amelie is the oldest of three daughters and her parents are devoted to her. Her father, Col. A. L. Rives, is a leading Southern engineer, and, ~ 4 to abouta year ngo, he was connected with the Richmond & Danville Railroad. He then accepted an im- portant post in connection with the De Less eps Panama Ship Canal, and soon thereafter he went to Panama. He is devoted to his daughter, and takes great pride in her literary achievements. For at least two Fears before he went to Panama his duties on the Southern Railroad kept him much of the time down South, and, asarule, he read most of his daughter's productions for the first time in the magazine in which they were printed. Last winter he returned from Panama and re- mained at home for a few weeks, but his duties called him back tothe Isthmus, where he has been ever since, When he was in Richmond he spoke constantly of his pride in Miss Amelie, And, indeed, all who know him indignantly degy as scurrilous and uncalled for the recent reports that Col. Rivesand his daughter have quarreled over the production of ‘‘The Quick or the Dead. He is indignant at the inter- 38383 put upon the story by some critics. Iis daughter is even more indignant. Indeed, she prepared a defense in the natureof a preface to“ The Quick or the Dead, but she withheld it, as she thought it best not to do anything to perpetuate the unpleasant and unexpected discussion called forth by the work. An intimate friend of Miss Rives, who has just returned from Castile Hill, states that the latest rumor about her, to the effect that she was engaged to a Mr. Archie Coolidge of Boston is utterly untrue, and that, furthermore, Miss Rives is not even aware of the existence of any such erson as Mr. Ooolidge. She is engaged to Mr. John Armstrong Chandler of New York. This gentleman met her at Newport three —— ago, and has visited her at her father’s 10use frequently since. The engagement was announced last Tuesday. The marriage will take place at the home of the bride in Septem- ber, and a few weeks thereafter she will sail for Paris, where she will reside. A DUEL IN LAGRANGE, A Bewitching Young Jewess Caused the Trouble. From the LaGrange (Ga.) Graphic. Lou never heard of the duel fought right here in LaGrange, did you?“ asked Col. John R. Broome a day or two ago. Of course a negative answer was given, for the thoughts of such a thing had never enterea our brain. It was during the war, i think in the win- ter of 64, continued Col. Broome, when a party, or dance, was given in that part of the Masonic Hall now used by the Light Guard as an armory, and there were present at that time in LaGrange a Lieut. Webb, r and a Capt. Barrett, a Kentucklan, both fler young Confederate officers. Lieut. Web escorted the fair Jewess, a then belle of Mo- bile, Ala., who was also on a visit here, to the arty. He was assiduous in his attentions to er, and seemed deeply smitten. When sup- per was aunounced Capt. Barrett in some way secured Miss J—— and escorted her to the table, buthow or in what manner this was done to cause offense, I do not now remem- ber, anyway, the Lieutenant thought he had been injured, and forthwith demanded gatis- faction of the Captain under the code then ruling such disputes. The challenge was sent and readily accepted. Fifteen paces and the regulation dueling pistols was the arrange- ment, and one cold afternoon the combat- ants, accompunied by their seconds and a sur- geon, repaired to a spot about one mile south of the Court-house, near the house now occu- pled by Beverly Godwin (colored). Tze day was cold and the wind biting, and Webb, who was alittle, nervous, blonde fel- low, kept walking to and fro over the ground trying to keep warm. Barrett was just his counterpart, small, a brunette, but perfectly cool and collected, While the preliminaries were being arranged he sat ona stump, legs crossed, and as unconcerned as possibie. Two shots were fired, both missing the first time. At the second shot Bar- rett’s aim was a little better, and he sent a bullet through the side of Webb, making a painful though not dan- |gerous flesh wound. That ended the fight, the principals shook hadds, the wound was dressed, and Webb and Barrett made them- selves scarce for some time. „Webb on being asked why he took the second shot, said: ‘—— it, they did not ask me if 1 was satisfied.

The Colored Woman Who Was Cut “Below the Fracas’’—Mysterious Cases With Ri- diculous Develepments — Morphine and Opium Fiends’ Tricks—Men Who, Have Snakes—The Telegraph Operator Who Thought His Head Was Turned the ‘PUBLIO dispensary is a strange place. There all sorts of cases are handled, and many queer m- cidents occur. It would naturally be supposed that noth- ing but sorrow was to be met with in a public dispensary, iy, but while this pre- dominates there are nevertheless many _=— happenings of an- other kind there, Sim some of them being absoluteiy humor- fous. The physicians at the City Dispen- sary here relate many stories of queer occurrences which have come under their observation at the place. Some years ago medicines were given away there to those who could not afford to purchase them, but the pharmacy feature of the place has long since been done away with and most cases now treated there are of a surgical character, though a few sick still call for prescriptions. Some two or three years ago a drunken man jumped off the bridge at the first pier to the Levee below. His mind was crazed with drink and he concluded he wanted to die, His in- tentions were good but his plans were poorly executed. He LEAPED FROM THE BRIDGE to the stone-paved levee, some fifty feet or more below, and was taken to the Oity Dis- pensary in a dying condition as was generally supposed. When Dr. Priest examined him he tound the fellow was a llitle shaken up but otherwise was all right, hawing merely re- ceived a few little bruises. Another remarka- ble case of the same kind occurred while the Gay building was being erected at Third and Pine streets. One of the workmen fell from the roof of that seven- story structure down the elevator hatchway to the pavement. There he landed on a wheel. barrow filled with broken brick. An examin- ation of him at the City Dispensary developed the iact that while he had received some bruises and cuts there were no bones broken, and ma week he was able to be about again and was back at work. The same day he met with his accident another man fell from the second story of another building and broke his neck, dying instantly. There was a boy taken tothe Dispensary one night who bad fallen off a third-story balcony. He wasalittle fellow about 4 years of age, and the closest examination failed to reveal the slightest injury he had sustained, not even a scratch, Again there are instances where people re- ceive injuries in the most trivial manner. An old lady, who was brought in to Dis- pensary nr Priest one day for treatment, had fractured a leg merely by turning over in bed. There is also a case on record of a boy dying from being struck by an old shoe which was tossed at him bya teamster employed by his father. Six months ago a man was brought in a po- lice patrol wagon for treatment. He had fractured his leg and had been picked up on the sidewalk. Dr. Steinmetz after examining the leg pronounced the break a bad one, but said he was unable to do anything for the man. The patient was removed to the Four Courts where he was placed under the care of the police carpenter. In a short time that functionary had the limb in as good condition as ever. It was a wooden leg the man had fractured. THE OFFICER JUMPED FORTY FEET. Another incident which was enjoyed by everybody but the policeman concerned oc- curred five or six years ago while Dr. Kauff- man was one of the assistant physicians at the ey A woman who was known as one of the veteran drunkards of the city walked in and lying down on a wire cotinthe consult- ing-room began to moan most pitifully, but could not be induced to talk. After vainly endeavoring to learn from her what was troubling the woman, the physician stooped over her and smelled her breath to ascertain whether it was pot merely a case of drunk. He smelled liquor, or at least at the time imagined he did, and endeavored to induce her to leave. But the woman would not be torn from the cot, and remained there, moan- ing as though very sick. After awhile Officer Fuqua, who was walking the beat, stepped into the Dispensary on his rounds, and Dr. Kauffman who by this time was thoroughly convinced that the woman was merely drank, asked the officer’s assistance in ejecting her. Each got hold of her by an arm and started to raise her. As they did so the sleeve of her dress pulled up on the officer’s side and bared her arm to the elbow. It was all broken ont with small- pox. Fuqua emitted a yell and in three steps cleared the flity feet between him and the door. Cards could be played on his coat- tails as he disappeared from the building. Six years agothe police received notice of a mysterious murder which had been com- mitted on the St. Charles Rock road, just in- side the city limits. People residing out there had found the body of an unknown man lying inthe road. There was a gash in the back of his head, and it was supposed he had been killed with some blunt instrument. An am- bulanve was summoned, and, as the driver imagined he perceived some life in the man,he took him to the City Dispensary instead of to the Morgue. There it was found that he was alive and was suffering from small-pox, the wound in the back of his head being ver trivial, having probably been caused by his head striking a stone when he fell. The man was removed to Quarantine, where he died some days later. While he was lying out in the road A YOUNG DOCTOR, residing in Elleardsville, who was learning 1 op a morning paper, heard ofthe case and went direct from his house and examined the man before the ambulance arrived. The yonng medico probed the wound, and hurrying down town wrote avery glowing aceount for his paper about the ‘‘mysterious murder.’’ In an article abounding in medical phrases, he explained the nature of the wound and exactly how it produced death. The effort was all in type, when another reporter on the paper came in withthe information thatit was nota mur- der, but a case of small-pox. The oung doc- tor’s able medical article was killed, and — career as a journalist came to an abrupt end. One of the coldest nights last winter a man clad only in his night-clothes was found wan- dering about on Eleventh and Olive streets. He was turned over to the police, who took him to the City Dispensary. Their efforts to giean something from him were unavailing, asthe man _— wildly and incoherently. Shortly after he entered the Dispensary he seemed to come to suddenly and looked about in astartied and puzzied manner, inquiring where he was and how he came there. The man was a sonambulist and had been asleep the entire time until suddenly he awoke in the Dispensary. He remembered nothing except that he had gone to bed in his room, on Seventh and Olive streets, about II o' clock. Afterward he arose in his sleep, and, unlocking the door of his room, sauntered out upon the street and wan- dered almlessly about until picked was taken up about 1a. m., and was th about four blocks away from his room. A CURIOUS MYSTERY /which surrounded one case treated at the Dis- pensary never has been solved. bout 3 o’clock one morning aman walked into the Dispensary and told Dr. Steinmetz that he had been shot in the head and wanted the ball x tracted.

NOT CUT IN THE FRACAS. Dr. Robinson, who was for years 14 Physician, relates many funny tales of his ex- periences in the office. One ot his stories is about two negro women who had got into a tight, and had used razors on each other. They were brought together, and the doctor first dressed the wounds of one of the women who had been cut in the face. After he had finished with her he turned to the other ne- gress and asked: Were you cut in the fracas, too?’’ „No, doctah,’’ she replied, not in de fra- cas, but a couple o' inches b’low de fracas,’ and she displayed a wound on the pack of her ead. Sometimes people are brought in who will not speak. Aman who was found at Fourth and Almond streets, and who was supposed to be fatally injured, was rolled up in the trol — — dy the polloe one night. He would say nothing and the officers believed him to be dying. Dr. Steinmetz was more su in his efforts to extract information from the man. While bending over him, his face came near the fellow’s mouth. The physician’s keen nose detected the smell of liquor. Saturating some cotton with ammonia, he held this un- der the patient’s nose, while with his other hand he held the man’s mouth closed. Soon the patient began to squirm about and in a short time he was willing to give his name and tell all about himself. ＋ look of supreme dis- ust spread over the police officers’: faces as they saw their murder mystery dwindle down to a plain drunk on the street. The individ- ual had evidently decided to play sick so he would be sent to the hospital instead of to the Work-house. When his game was detected, however, he was locked up and next day Judge Cady gave him the limit for being drunk, a $20 fine, which, with the costs in the case, prolonged the time in the Work- house to over a month and a half. — the Grand Army encampment last September a G. A. R. veteran was brought in apparently dead. The = sicilan shook, slapped and pounded him, but without avail. The institution is not fitted up with an electric battery, which is frequently needed badly, and for awhile the doctor, Steinmetz, was puzzled whattodo. Finally an idea occurred to him. He got hold of the man bythe ribs and began to tickle him. The veteran jumped up and laughed outright. And then there were more disgusted police officers. SWALLOWED A QUARTER. ht things sometimes alarm people io later than the latter part of May | iors excited, entered the Dis- pensary and stated that she had swallowed a silver quarter of a dollar. She had been told by her neighbors that she would have to be out open and that it was sure to kill her. The woman was in a terrible frame of mind, and thought her last hour had arrived. She wastoldthe mishap was only trifling and that she need have no fears of the coin causing her any trouble. Frequently the Dispensary is apprized of a cutting or shooting before the police learn of it, the injured man being taken there by friends for treatment. Dr. Priest in this man- ner once effected a clever capture of a burglar. A man came there about 8 o’clock one morning with a gunshot wound in his left shoulder. e told confi:cting stories and the physician’s suspicions were aroused. He quietly telephoned the police, asking if they had heard of any shooting affray. hey had just then heard that one had occurred some- where. Hetold them he had a wounded man about whom he was suspicious, and asked them to send over for him. They did so, and when the man got up after having his injur dressed, he was handed over to an officer an locked up in the Four Courts. It developed that he had attempted to burglarize a house at Ninth ane Locust streets and was shot by the owner. The man was convicted of burglary and sent to the Penitentiary. It is a fact which all Dispensary physicians have observed that suicides and homicides almost invariably come in groups. Whenever one suicide occurs two or three, or maybe four or five, more follow and then there will probably not be any more for weeks, when another batch will occur. The same rule ap- plies to homicides. People who attempt to poison themselves by taking opium also ap- pear to make the attempts at about the same time or in groups. Most of them are saved, but it is noticeable that when some one tries the poison route several others follow in his or her wake. MORPHINE AND OPIUM FIENDS frequently come into the Dispensary and crave to be given some of their favorite drug. Those who use morphine well know tbat all hysicians usethe drug in administering in- — ions in various cases, and when without it themselves or the money to purchase it, vic- tims of the habit will resort to every means to procure it. All sorts of ruses are tried by them. One night a negress was brough down from the Thir Police District pretending to be suffering the most excruciat- ing pains. She cried out in agony and begged to be given something to relieve her suffer- ings. Dr. Steinmetz set her down as a mor- hine fiend, and when he suggested an in- fection of that drug she jumped at the offer. ‘inally she admitted that she had been ad- dicted to its use fora year and a halt and had been inthe habit of taking twenty or thirty grainsaday. As she was ina bad way from the use of the poison, and was badly in need of aslight dose, the doctor injected about an ounce of morphine intoher. To one not accustomed to using it, this would be a very strong dose, but for a fiend who had been using twenty or thirty grains a day for over eighteen months, it wasa mere trifle. Every once in awhile just such cases as this come to the Dispensary. Nearly all of them come in at night. Like the morphine flends, the cases of de- lirium tremens, or, as they are familiarly called, ‘‘snakes,’’ come in at night almost in- variably. While itis called ‘‘snakes,’’ it is, nevertheless, afact that ve few who have delirium tremens imagine the see serpents. They think they behold rates, cats, dogs, bugs, vermin, alligators, I and in fact all kinds of animals man having his particular hobby. one negro, however, whois a regular patron of the Dispensary, who always in his off periods sees the genuine article of snakes.

He fights, bites, scratches and kicks until he gets loose, when he rends it into pieces. One nighta telegraph operator, suffering from ‘‘snakes,’’ walked in and informed Dr. Priest that his head was turned the wrong way, and he could not get it back into place again. The doctor got bold of his head, gave it a jerk and told the man it wasall right. The operator left satisfied with the supposed oper- ation. All sorts of characters. stroll into the Dispensary at Some 66 for a railroad and want to purchase tickets or know when their train leaves. Atthe conclusion of ‘‘tough’’ enter- tainments in the morning the place is fre- quently crowded with hb lums who drop in on their way home to learn if any of their friends have been ‘‘done up.’’ runken men also have a penchant for walking into the place. At timesof big calamities there are always a number of outsiders present to lond a helping hand to the physicians. Almost invariably they. are in the way, but they like to think they are making themselves useful. When Arnot’s stable burned, and a couple of firemen were kilied and sev others injured, the Dispensary was crow with outsiders, and while Dr. Priest was a one man’s injuries a fellow in the crowd, who was anxious to assist him, rushed up with a dirty foor mop to wash out the man’s wounds. “THE Post- Disrarch is aelivered at your res- idence or place of business every afternoon and Sunday morniug for 20 cents per week. x * te 7 a 1 7 * ‘s > * 8 i ts 4 1 8 5 - q + 7 5 7 q * Ps * £. 2 i — ＋ * ad ö 0 7 4 N * 6 * ? * * 5 * AS * ‘ — 5 are <* * a 1 2 1 ö 5 4 * a) * U 9 7 * 1 7 1 2 J ; 4 : ' am fi E 3 1S <P hey 7 en 22 8 0 4 . 2 pet a, » Sm. ye N 3 oh . ins 5 * oy: not on the best of terms with his mother,‘‘the English woman, as be disdainfully alludesto his mother. This faction rallying around the Empress and encouraged by her will, it is ex- pected, rapidly expand tothe propotions of a strong party organization. One of the imme- diate objects it has in view is to raise a row con- cerning the illegal and base uses to which a special trust fund of 68,000,000 marks has been diverted by direction of the Chancellor of the German Empire. Empress Victoria is special- ly interested in the new movement, for the reason that large amounts taken from this trust fund are of late being used as a corrup- tion fund to influence public opinion against the English Empress. The fund in question is officially known as the Guelph Fund;the people, however, for obvious reasons, have given it the less eu- phonious name of Reptile Fund. The Guelph or Reptile Fund is made up of the hard cash assets of the late King George IV. of Hanover. They were seized by Prussia as part of the spoils of the war of 1866. The total amount of the confiscated money was, at the time the seizure was decreed, 21,000,000 Prussian thalers, or 68,000,000 marks. Its res- titution was made dependent on condition that King George solemnly declare that he would never reclaim the throne of the whilom Kingdom of Hanover, which Prussia swal- lowed and made a promise of its monarcby. The unfortunate blind King was, however, obstinate and emphatic in his declaration that he would never agree to Prussia’s humiliating proposition. Up to his death he persistently ~ clung to the one idea uppermostin his mind, that a general European war was impending, and at its close he would surely be restored to the throne wrested from him by the strong hand of the Hohenzollern King. THE 63,000,000 MARKS taken from him remained in the possession of Prussia. The money was profitably invested, and the interest amounts to asnug little sum every year. This interest money is, however, not added to the original capital, but is used in a manner quite characteristicof Bismarckian methods, though contrary to the spirit sup- posed to govern and restrain a constitutional monarchy. The purpose of the expenditures from this fund was at first to frustrate the designs of King George against the integrity of the Prussian monarchy and of the German Empire. The Hanoveranian adherents of the deposed King had organized a party known as the Guelph Legion, which at times was very troublesome. But is 1870—at the outbreak of the Franco- Prussian war—the machinations and efforts to restore King George to his throne came to a dead stop. They were afterw revived, but amounted to very little, and the Guelph Legion movement has now passed into — O asa — lg ia import to the grasping policy ofthe Hohenzoliern dy x The Cusine movement was crush es iron heel of the German Chancellor, but the 22 fund remained at his disposal.

The Reptile Fund are guarded with such a jealous secrecy that it is considered a matter of utter im to obtain a transcript ot them. All of Herr Richter and his partyin this direction were futile. It is, however, the new party, backed bythe Empress, will be more successful. In thatcase astounding dis- closures may be looked for.

Altogether the spring meeting has been a great success, and while the clashing of dates, where Latonia was concerned, no doubt affected the book-makers and pool- sellers, it had no vislble effect on the attend- ance or enthusiasm. Nor was the betting bad, as betting goes, despite the dozen and more empty boxes of book-makers. The retrospective being in order, it may interest those who plunged not wisely but too well to know thatthe book- betting during the past fortnight aver- aged about $1,000 per race, say $75,000 gross for the spring meeting. The pools were most affected by the date clashing, as the hizh-rollers were necessarily divided between St. Louis and Latonia, but the sellers did as well as they had expected and do not complain. As for the French mutuals they are no longer an experiment, averaging daily sales of from 8, to , 000. The operators of the machines think Presi- dent Green made a mistake in admitting thir- teen book-makers at $100 a day each, instead of ving the mutuals full swing and lettiug the air Grounds have the benefit of 5 per cent on the sales of $5 tickets. The favorites have come out on top in the long run, with those who have placed their money on them in a similarly enviable posi- tion, but yesterday was a poor day for any- thing not dead sure, as was Terra Cotta in the fourth race and Tennessee in the steeple- chase. The starting was good an the jockeys tractable under Capt. Bellair’s supervision, and Nar- vace, Turner, Allen, Prattand Matthews, the five jockeys found guilty of insubordination early last week were forgiven, and the penalty inflicted by President Green of one year’s sus- pension withdrawn. The judges yesterday were Charles Green, John Scullin and W. R. Allen; timers, Dick Roche and Charles Little- Held; starter, C. W. Bellairs; official secre- na? 4 Ben G. Bruce of Lexington. The only shady transaction of the meeting has come to light before the stabies have split and the racers divided to the east and west but the perpetrator of the fraud has suffered severely enough for his wrong-doing. H. A. Nickels, son of the Postmaster at Hannibal, Mo., isthe culprit, and his entry, chestnut lding Fayette, the direct source of his ownfall. Fayette, entered in a number of races as a three-year-old by Australian Chief out of Bettie Fox, came very near winning the maiden stakes of Monday last, Blonda coming in first by a nose only. But Fayette is nota maiden. The judges have discovored thatthe restiess colt was not even entitled to his name, butas the chestnut gelding Stiltz last tall won as a 2-year-oid a mile race on the half-mile track at Hannibal in 1:47%. Owner and horse havetherefore been ruled off the track for life. First Race. The day’s running opened with a dash of seven furlongs for a purse of $600. There were ten entries, all of which started, with Jacobin a good favorite. Barred in the auction pools, he was quoted at 7 to 10 in the books. Persim- mons, at 2 to Il, was the second favorite, and Carnegie, at 8 to 1, the third. Jacobin was not backed very heavily and therefore the race, which was won by Persimmons, was not a very disastrous one to the betters. In the pools Persimmons sold for , Carnegie for $11, Only Dare for $8, and the field for $12. The quotations on the other starters, in the books, were: Vision, 20—1; Chancellor, 30—1; Kemp Dillard, Hattie D. and Only Dare, 40—1; Luke Alexander and Kitty Pease, 1. The start was a very good one. Hattie D. was first to lead, with Kitty Pease second and Chancellor third. At the quarter the order was Only Dare, Chancellor, Kitty Pease, Hat- tie D., Persimmons and Jacobin, who had come up from the tall end. Only Dare drew up between the quarter and the half, and was leading at that place one-half a length from Chancellor, he iapped with Jacobin. Pereimmons now came to the front and led into the stretch with Chancellor, Jacobin and Only Dare in a bunch about halt his length benind. It was in this way they finished, with = — Carnegie and the rest strung out behind. SUMMARY. Purse $600, of which $100 to second, $50 to third.

This race was the run for the Vestal Stakes of $1,000 in added money for 2-year-old fillies. The Lioness, Leonette and Laura Stone entered, and later on Retrieve was put in, and these four started. The distance was five- eighths of a mile. Laura Stone was the favor - ite in the books and the auctions. In the former she was quoted 3 to 5 and sold in pools for $%. The Lioness and Retrieve were booked at8to5and sold jointly in the ools at $138. Leonette was quoted at 7tol nthe books. The start was a very good one, the Lioness getting off first, Leonette second, Laura Stone third and Retrieve last. At the three-quarters the same order prevalled and from this on to the finish the race between the Lioness and Laura Stone was a pretty one. Coming into the stretch the Lioness was only a bead in front of Laura Stone, Retrieve third, a half a length back and Leonette last, a length away. o quartette were plying the whip with a vengeance, and the finish was uncertain until the official announcement.

The next race was the Granite Mountain Mining Co. 's stake of $1,000, at one mile and one-quarter. It brought out Terra Cotta, who was the favorite; Paragon, a 8 to 1 chance; Lewis Clark at 6 to 1; Lelex at 12 to 1, and Sil- ver Bell at6tol. The book betting on Terra Cotta was at 1 to 10 against and at 1 to 4 against. Inthe pools Terra Cotta sold for $100, Silver Bell for $18 and the field for $14. Terra Cotta got away first toa good start, with Silver Bell at his heels, Paragon third and Lelex fourth. Silver Bell passed up and went by the stand six lengths in frontof the lot, who were close together at that distance behind.

They were Tennessee, who of course was the favorite at the comfortable odds of 2 to 5 in the books and who sold for $25 in the poois; Uncle Dan and cCheatfellow, who sold for $7 each in the pools and were booked at 8 to 1. Of course there was a good start, and Uncle Dan was the first one off, with Tennessee second. The jumpers ran a nice, orderly, unexciting and quiet race. The order the en- tire course was Uncle Dan, Tennessee, Cheat- fellow, with about three lengths between them. In this order they came into the fiat, and it seemed as though the gelding was going to win, but inthe stretch Tennessee got away from him under the whip and finished first by half a length. Cheatfellow was last and com- pletely fagged out. SUMMARY. Handicap steeplechase purse, $600, of which $100 to second and $00 to third. Entrees to close on even- ing of the tenth day.

The mutual system has been thoroughly tried inthis city and may be pronounced an ungwalified success. Dick Walsh and Bob Goodwillie, the Chicago lungers, have gone home to get in readiness or the Washington Park meeting. Both of the visitors exhibited good judgment in the betting stand and picked out some ve short horses at the Fair Ground track. They pa- triotically backed Chicago entries against St. Louis surprises toward the close oftheir visit and paid for their prejudices, but@evertheless quit heavy winners. Trotting at Forest Park. The beautiful weather yesterday afternoon brought out a goodly crowd to witness the trotting and pacing matinee at Forest Park. The track was in excellent condition and the time made, especially in the 2:50 trot and free-for-all pace, was fast for the season. President Taylor as presiding Judge was assisted by Mr. Samuel Scaling, and C. C. Spink, Esq. of the Sporting News, while essrs. C. 4 Voorhees and E. P. Tesson, Jr., took the officialtime.

A Big Day's Business—Sir Dixon’ Wins the Belmont. By Telegraph to the Post-Disrarcen. Park to-day not only attracted an enormous crowd, but it proved to be the most enjoyable day’s racing ever witnessed. The weather was all that could be wished for, the track in superb condition, and the betting about tke best of the meeting, a total of 87,498 ticker \pe! sold in the mutuals, of which 18,759 straight, and 16,739 were places.. ä | ' J. H. Stamm’s gr. m. Fanchette. 6. 3 , Multon Young’s b. f. LaurajStone, 2, Rayon D’Or— of last Saturday. The Belmont stakes at a mile and a half had for starters the Dwyer Bros, Sir Dixon and Mr. Belmont’s Prince Royal. They ran a hot race for about a mile, when Prince Royal quit and Sir Dixon won in a walk. It makes the fifth Belmont won by the Brooklyn stable: George Kinney in 1883, Panigque in 1884, Prospector B in 1886 and Hanover in 1887. Ot the other races the most important was the mile and a quarter which Linden, 0 in unds, won. It was not an easy win, but the fault was not so much with the horse as with his rider, Shauer, who got nervous and let go of the horses head. Linden suddenly an to stop when Shauer began whipping. he result was a neck victory when it ought to have been a 28 ot lengths, and would have been had Billy Hayward ridden him. The details below give the results of the other races. The racing began with a dash of a mile and a sixteenth for horses beaten during the meeting and that had not won a run since May 28, with maiden allowances of 7, 12 and 18 pounds, fora purse of $700, of which $100 to the second, with the entrance money, $15 each, The starters included Choctaw, 122; Royal Arch, 119; Theodosius, 115; Banburg, 115; Longlicht, 101, and Belinda 98 pounds. In the pools Banburg sold for $100; Choctaw, $85; Arch $20; Belinda, $15; the field, $15. Belinda and Royal Arch led for the first furlong, when they gave piace to Banburg, who soon took a clear lead, which he held to and past the club-house. Half way round the south field he shut up like a knife, and was in turn passed by the whole field. Belinda taking the lead held it easily to the last furlong, when she was passed by Long light and Choctaw, the former winning easily by two lengths in 1:58, Choctaw second, half a length in front of Belinda, followed by Royal Arch, Theodosius and Banburg. Martin rode the winner. The second race was a handicap sweepstakes for all ages at $20 each with $700 added of which $200 to the second $100 to third; one mile. Of the eleven that accepted the weights the foliowing ran: Volante 119, Fitzroy 112, Climax 109, Amalgam 105, King Crab 100, Joseph 102, Pasha 101, and Stockton 93.. Climax, Volante, $270; „ 8255; Amalgam, $116; the 1 170. They got the flag at the second break, with King Crab in the lead, Climax second, Amalgam third. Fitzroy fourth, with the others well up, ex- cepting Joseph. King Crab, Amalgam, and Clay Stockton in turn held the lead until rounding the south field, where Fitzroy showed in front, closely pressed by Clay Stockton, Climax and Amalgam. When well in the straight Fitzroy dropped back beaten, just as as Murphy moved up with Volante. The Cali fornian soon took a decided lead, winning easily by twolengths from Climax,who wasthe same distance in front of Amalgam, King Crab fourth, followed by Fitzroy and the oth- ers, with Joseph last.

The stake closed August 15, 1886, with ninety-four entries, of which only Sir Dixon, owned by the Dwyer Brothers, and Prince Royal, owned by Mr. Belmont, faced Starter Caldwell half down the straight Belmont course, three fur- longs straight to the judges’ stand. Sir Dixon, ridden by Jimmy gee see was a big favorite, selling for 8825 to Prince Royal, who was ridden by Godfrey, selling for , Both were loudly applauded as they galloped ast the Prince oyal had the they ran with by a head to the stand and thence round the north field to the club-house turn forthesouth field, where Sir Dixon began to draw away and Godfrey went tothe whip. The race to all purposes ended there, for, gradually drawing away, Sir Dixon romped home an easy winner by a dozen lengths ,in 2:404%, of which the mile must have been very fast and the last half very slow. The fourth race wasa handicap at a mile and a quarter, at $25 each, with $1,000 added, of which $250 to the second and $100 out of the stakes to the third. It was intended to bea kind of a Suburban trial race, but the only important Suburban candidate that started was the Preakness Stable’s horse Linden at 128 pounds. The others were Rich- mond 118, Lelogos 110, Bannerbearer 110, Boc- caccio 108, and Brown Duke 103 pounds. Pools: Linden $450; the 2 pair (Brown Duke and Bannerbearer)$100; Richmond, $70; the field $70. the start Brown Duke took the track and opened a gap of two lengths, was followed „ Lelogos and Bannerbearer nearly the same distance apart, with Richmond and Linden together for nearly a mile. Linden then closed up and the issue in the last quarter was left to Linden and Brown Duke. The former swerved badly under the whip. Shauer man- aged to get Linden home a winner by a neck, Brown Duke second, five lengths in front of Boccaccio, the others pulled up, with Rich- mond last. Time 2:11%.

Niagara, $100; Shamrock, $75; Nettle, $70; the field, $145. It was a superb start, with Sam Brown in the lead, followed by Harwood, Niagara, and Shamrock with all so cl se up there was ecarcely a length between the first and the last. Before ang J reached the first turn Niagara took the lead, but he was so closely pressed by Sam Brown, Shamrock and Glen- spray for three-quarters of a mile that there was but little difference between them, with Maia right at their heels. When they came round the turn into the stretch Maia wasleading, butshe was quickly out- run by Nettle and Glenspray, the former winning by two lengths, Glenspray the same distance in front of Maia, with Harwood fourth, Ernest fifth and the others beaten off.

NEW YORK, June 9.—Alex Stewart, the jockey, isdead. His death was the result of the severe injuries which he received by being thrown from his horse inthe third race at Clifton yesterday. Stewart was riding Wind- sail, Brian Boru (Kelly), Windsail (Stewart), and Kink (Hyslop), were racing side by side until they passed the lower turn, where Stewart on Windsail, it is alleged, said in the hearing of Hyslop, who was riding Kink: If you do that again I will kill vou. Stewart — moved Windsail up, and Dr. Cropper said: Here comes Windsail and he will win.’’ „No he won’t’’ said Gabe Caldwell that boy — will cut bim. Scarcely had the words been uttered when Kelly sent Brian Boru across the track directly in front of Windsall. Stewart tried hard to pull his horse up but he could not. Windsail stumbled, threw his rider Stewart and fell on the rider. Stewart was picked up unconscious and was conveyed to St. Joseph’s Hospital where he died at 3 o'clock this morn- ing without having regained consciousness. Mike Daly was not at the track yesterday but he and Mr. Gleason both were much affected, when they learned of their jockey’s death and it is said, will have Kelly indicted for man- slaughter. Kelly had a bad reputation and has frequently been mixed up in crooked transac- tions at the track. He was fined $50this week for assaulting Bergen and has, on several occa- sions, been reprimanded. Stewart’s body was brought to New York and will be shipped to his late home in Willimantic, Conn., for burial. Kelly bas been ruled off the track un- til the investigation is held on Monday, and it is likely that he will be ruled off the Clifton and Brighton Beach tracks for life. ——7D7— — — — THOUSANDS ot men’s shoes, 95 cents, $1.50, $2, $2.50, $3.50 and $5—all reduced.

A Convenient String Causes it to Disclose the Expressive Monosyllable ‘‘Rats’?— The Spray Bouquet and the Loaded Ring- Tom Collins’ Coffin and the Dead and Gone Chestnut Bell—Other Trick Ar- rangements. S P. T. Barnum once said: „The public likes to be fooied,’’ or words to that effect, but he did not add a truth self-evident that the ‘‘game public delights in fooling others.“ No new ‘*gag’’ or ‘‘catch’’ makes its appearance before it is mouthed by certain de- votees. Many of the catches might be termed specimens of ‘‘illustrated slang, which make their appearance with a speedy mush- room like growth, spread like a prairie fire, if especially apt, or die as quickly as a female presidential boom. It is only necessary to look upon the still recent sway of the chestnut-bell, whose gentle tintin- abulations echoed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, carrying terror to the vender of moth- eaten anecdotes and as much discomfort as to the careless handler of the burry ulster of the populous chestnut. How many fakirs with the truth and prosey reconteurs were so awed by the fairy gongs as to leave undisturbed the dust of ages, beneath which rested the little yarns whose sphere of usefulness had ended with Poor Richard's Almanac. Born in seclusion, it soon took the entire country in its powerful grasp, punctuated conversations with its little ‘‘ding,’’ and withal was no respecter of persons. This in- strument of torture, however, soon became in itself what it was designed to rebuke, and aftera successful career it was laid away, having lasted longer in public sufferance than any of its predecessors. Prior to the advent of the miniatnre gong other catch novelties had occupied pub- lic attention, if not as widespread yet each had its day. All of these articles were so con- structed as to surprise the uninitiated, trafiic- ing upon the prevalence of curiosity among both sexes. One of this class, although short lived, represented a coffin, embellished with skull and oross-bones together with the in- scription, ‘‘Tom Oollins, the man who was talked to death. At the head was a spring which the owner al- leged would open the lid when pressed, dis- closing the unfortunate victim of too much ver- bosity. A pressure upon the spring usually re- sulted in the dropping of the miniature casket, as the lid did not fly up, but a pin flew out The Trick Ring. and stabbed the pressing digit. The embryo undertakerg who threw this upon the market did not r u very large profit, as the face- tious humorists did not generally invest, and the remains of Thomas Collins were allowed to retire into oblivion. Another mechanical toy with which the wicked jokers were invited te startle their respective communities were innocent-look- ing little button-hole bouquets. There was enough deviation from the regulation in this nosegay to invite closer inspection, and the unlucky, curious wretch who sought to sniff the odor or pry into its construction was de- luged with aspray of rubber flavored water which spurted out of the center of the flowers, filling his eyes and commingling with the lachrymal moisture within his optics. The — 4 of this apparatus consisted {n a rubber tube which ran from the bouquet to the pocket of the wearer, wher? it was attached to a rub- ber ball filled with water, a little pressure upon which ejected the water. The gallant joker would prime the ball with cologne when when bating the curiosity of ladies, thus de- priving the trick of some of its offensiveness, putting it in better odor, as it were.

The Dark Side of Metropolitan Life in the Morning Glow of a Police Ceurt—A Scene That Is Repeated Daily Before the Police Justices—The Humorist in a New Field. HE morning hour at the Tombs Police Court. New York, affords the best opportunity of which I know to study the last and undone condition of mankind, and when I say man- kind I agree with Belva A. Lockwood that man- kind embraces woman- kind. The delegate from the Bowery and the alternate from Mott street, uninstructed, bearing their creden- tials of cussedness on every bloodshot and bloated feature, there come together at 9 o’ clock on every day of the week in a mighty convention of crime, a congress of biasted bugles and shattered nerves, a galaxy of mis - ery, a symphony in sour beer, a tableau of tremors, a weak and wabbly procession of petty iarcenies, common drunks, drunk and disorderlies and vagrants, a foul-smelling fungus, ever growing rank and ranker in the basement of this great fabric through whose upper halle meander the select 400 of New York s80- clety. Timidly depositing my superfluous cane in the cloak-room on Tuesday, I took a seat by the throne of Judge Solon B. Smith for an hour and a half and watched the vieious parade. I did not try to remember all the names, especially when I considered that a good many of them are more or less fictitious. Many of these people are working over a nom de plume, hoping that they will make a hit and then they will reveal their true names, I presume. The first gentleman to comeé:before the trib- unal of justice had shattered a cab window the nicht before during a misunderstanding wich the driver. He was a tall, beardless gen- tleman, with an over-the-purple-hills ook in hisead, sad eye, and he was required to to furnish $100 bail, pending further develop- ments. A colored man named Jackson then filed along in front of the grand stand. He looked very much to me like several other colored men I had seen before whose names were Jackson, but Judge Smith remembered him and asked him when he got back from the Work-house. Mr. Jackson saw it would save time to be frank about it, and so he said it had been two weeks. He secured another month at the Work-house and seemed more than satisfied. Judge Smith might have been bothered to hold down Solomon’s place as long as Solomon did, but the way he tried @ases, signed writs, certificates, affida- vits and processes, signed complaints with one hand, kept the air full of documents with the otherand swore witnesses between the two, would makethe head of the Supreme Court of the United States fairly ache. I wish that those able and venerable gentlemen, now ten or fifteen years behind with their docket and gradually drifting away into the Miocene Period, could drop in at the Tombs some day and see how little chance a man gets to intro- Gueean interpleader or a half-grown-demur- rer, or a capias or an adjournment, or a change of venue or a stay of proceedings, or a rejoinder ora surrejoinder, or a tort or most any of those things. A wide-eyed and woe-begirt woman with a little ehild asleep in her arms stood up before the Court charged with being a resident in a Chinese opium-joint. She was the meekest looking woman I ever saw. Her large and dewy eyes never faltered for an instant. The little fat fingers of the baby were tangled in the coarse fringe of the mother’s shawl. It was a picture of peace and purity even in the cruel clutches of the law, and you could not help hoping that the baby would refrain from waking up forever. I have been a police justice myself in my poor, weak way, and looking at that woman, with her deep, ap- pealing eyes and ber wonderful jolt of silence, armed as she was with a neat little pink- and-white child snuggled up to her bosom just as they do in books, I would have turned ber loose and then advanced my salary for doing it. But I would have erred and the courts would have so held, for she dwelt among the depraved and met the officer with a deluge of tinware and crockery when he sought to climb the stairs. She lived in a rich aroma of opium, and they were having a hard and violent opium -joint disoussion when the officer called to quell it. Two other wo- men were gathered in at the same time. One ‘was a female with a face like a shoulder of nef cela . 4 We tn io Pee ; ws: ieee „ tt i * * * woman, wearing a high hat and a bustle. She could do a great deal of good if she would dress as she was dressed at the Tombs and go on the stage—the Fifth Avenue stage, I mean. It would do more toward downing the high hat and subverting the power of the bustle than anything else I can think of. All the idiotic fashions, I presume, are started by some beautiful but immoral idiot, and the style holds good till the homely woman adopts it. Then it curls up and dies. The woman with the sleeping infant and the eye like a startled jack rabbit had to give $300 bail. It was rumored afterwards that the baby was a property baby and that it was his 300th and souvenir performance at the Tombs Court. By the way, I have recently met sev- The Aged Tramp. eralspeople whose steady and unflinching gaze would make any bonest and unpracticed eye quail, and they are ahead of mefor various amounts as I pen these lines. Kate Hurley, with avoice about four feet *Agher than any fine she ever paid and a face le s troubled dream, got three months, as did also the tremulous and rocky rem- nant of a woman whose name was lost in her shawl and the meshés of her grizzly hair. They were gathered in while they were improvising some vocal musicina stale-beer basement on Monday night. Lizzie Wilson and Lizzie McNamara were with them. The four got one year and divided it up among them. A middle-aged woman sought to identify herself by means of a ‘‘recommend’’ which bore the name of Maloney, instead of the name under which she was arrested. She seemed startled when the Judge mentioned this, but a ray of sunshine pierced the gloom as she sud- denly remembered that she had recently mar- riedaman named Maloney, and during the excitement incident to the arrest she had for- gotten about it. She and another woman then started for the Work-house via the stale-beer basement line, and a pretty girl in a green gown, with a bunch of daisfes in her hat, paid $10 for seeking the ruin of a New York gentle - man who happened to be on the street after dark without an escort. Then another woman was asked to pay $5 for drunkenness. She wasa very plain woman. Very plain, indeed. II it relieved her face any to get under the influence of rum she was al- most excusable, it seemed to me. At this point a foreigner, who had taken the. reins of government into his own hands the night before, and who was just calling the roll of Parliament from the top of a dry-goods A Jig in Court. box, or assembling the Reichstag or some- thing of that kind, chipped in $10 and turned the management of national affairs over to the proper authorities again. A gray-haired party, with remorse written on his honest face and dull pains in every limb, with the exception of one leg, which is made of wood, tells of his recent scuffle with rum, his humiliating defeat, the rally, the re- peated charge, the brain failure and final sur- render. He gete a rebuke and goes out into the sunshine to renew the skirmish. Then a German case is filtered through an interpreter, and able counsel for defendant, not seeing any chance to make much ofa speech on the case, showers three or four dia- tribes on the newspaper reporters, who haye been frolicking with counsel’s silk hat and causing heavy side whiskers to start out all over it. Courtasks him to file his diatribes with the clerk and go on with the case. The next man, who has traded his eyes for a pair of discolorations, and seems to be doing his smelling largely with a lop-sided contu- sion, tells his tale in such away as to impli- cate another man. The theory that he had an accomplice in disfiguring himself as he has is concurred in by the Court, and $ fine for each opens the way for two little boys charged with the larceny of one dozen tin saucers. ‘**Twuzzent me“ and ‘‘Twuzzim.’’ No, twuzzent, Judge, and ‘‘Yestwuz,’’ consti- tuted the evidence, and the bail was fixed at $300. Then the grandfather of all vagrants’, like a restored Rip Van Winkle, with ‘‘Excelsior’’ in his beard and glue in his hair,took his mea- icine and filed past, the pitiable and pathetie antipode of the pink-and-white baby then sleeping in the cell with its mother. Next came a trembling advertisement of ruin’s terrible handiwork, weak but not wicked, the battered and mussed-up man in whose bosom Mr. Barleycorn has fought and won many a battle against a kindly beart and a timid soul. He is one of the several miliions who ‘‘would be a wonderful man if he would only let liquor alone, and who, therefore, does not sober up for fear the people will be disappointed in him. An Italian then goes free on the charge of celebrating too hard the unveiling of Gari- | baldi’s statue. Next comes a Spanish boy who sold bananas on the street against the regulations. He does nt speak English, and so has to walt for a Spaniard who can interpret for him. An old, gray-haired woman, with a shawl over her head, goes to the Work-house for three monte because she is an habitual drunkard and for failure to provide for her husband.

She kisses the book as she would blow the froth off aglass of beer, and hasthe air of one who bas been in court be- fore. In this very act she unconsciously hurts case. She is the wife of atripe fancier, and her brow is corrugated. She claims that it was done by a woman who lives upstairs. They all get substantial justice and go away. Also two other women, who desire & each. After a gentleman, who looked like a neglected John J. Ingalls, with a large, rec- tangular head set jauntily on top ofaNo. 12 neck, had been attended to, a loud whoop was heard to emanate from the door ofthe root cellar. No one seemed to know wuether to look for the lady or the tiger. Then there was alow growl, aud as the doorswung back Mary Jane Floyd sailed in with a snort, slapped an officer on the back, leaped into the arena, cracked her heels together twice in rapid succession, got a sentence of one month and returned to her own special dungeon. A gentleman then charged a clothing man with having feloniously pulled him in off the street, inflicting upon him then and there two brief and inferior pantaloons, and then be- cause complainant murmured at the high tide nature of the garments and the method of in- viting him to call and examine goods and prices or get killed, said clothing man had thumped him in a way he despised. Clothing man gave bail in the sum of $800 to appear again and talk it over further. A young girl who could have voted for Jack- son if the Judges of Election had allowed women to vote at the time, now came be- fore the court and made oath tbat she was under 15, and that she was forcibly detained in a house which was not re- spectacle in a good many respects. She beg- ged piteously for protection and hoped that if any of the officials present ever had an infirm sister or mother or grandmother, under fifteen years of age, they would consider her case. They did so, Maurice Wyman, a peachblow blonde, with varicose veins on the brow of his head and a disagreeable air, came up under the Anthony Comstock act for selling indecent books and pictures. The pictures were introduced in ev- idence. They certainly seemed to come under the act which prevents the spread of such ar- ticles of virtu. Next followed a woman who charged her husband with assault and battery. She had only one eye, and that was heavily draped. She is a regular attendant at the Tombs recep- tions, and when she is not there her husband is. They spend a great dealof time at the Isiand also, and she is his proxy at the Tombs, he being her understudy at the Island. An Italian brought in a charge of assault and battery overa yearold. It had diedof old age, but hecouldn’t see why that made any difference. A sailor then came in from the street. Al- though the day was yet young, a dash of gore ran athwart his bugle and the smell of fire- water was upon his garments. He desired a warrant for a gentleman who had tramped on him. Other cases came and went, but those I have described will give a pretty fair idea of an hour’s work in the early morning at the Tombs. If I have allowed an air of ostensible levity to creep into my desantpsion itis not because I was not fylly dm under features of the morning, abler pens have taken care of that side and suggested means of reform. I have given the various cases briefly, and perhaps have not paused long enough at the proper points to moralize on certain conditions and the causes which brought them about. Rum will get the credit for nearly everything, of course, but indolence can give intemperance a good many points and still come out away ahead. Drunk- enness is one of the tangible results of indo- lence. But lam getting out of my field. We have people enough who know how to reform the world, but those who are willing to take off their coats and attend to it personally are absent without leave. BILL NYE. Cheap or Dear. A question of importance to every house- hold or purchaser of merchandise is whether the articles they buy are cheap or dear. In these days, where so many so-called cheap goods are offered on the market at astonishingly low prices, they are calculated to deceive the public. An article costing a dollar that will last only three months, is much dearer than a better article of the same kind costing $1.25 which will last six months or a year. The first never gives satisfaction ; the second always does. If you want to buy a good re- frigerator, that will be thoroughly satisfac- tory, notonly for a season, but for years to come, go to a first-class establishment, where quality is Always assured and substantially quaranteed, and you will certainly buy cheaper than you can by going to outside stores, who have simply added some low, priced line of inferior goods and who may not deal in the article two years successively. The Simmons Hardware Co. has entire con- trolof the Siberia refrigerator and recommend itas the very best made,every one guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction, at prices which are exceedingly low. The rule of the house is one price for all,“ and that price so low as to make it an object to people to visit their store. The rule of ‘‘good quality’’ applies to other seasonable goods, commonly classed as house- furnishing goods. The Simmons Hardware Co. never sell inferior goods, but confine themselves to articles possessing intrinsic merit, which will give satisfaction to the con- ‘sumer for all time to come. Their Perfection Vapor Stoves have no equal. Their White Mountain Ice Cream Freezers stand ahead of all others. In Children’s Carriages they handle only Whitney’s, which last longer, stand more wearand tear, are more graceful, lighter, better finished and more durable than others.

The fire of a few weeks ago, which laid waste the Bethel Home on the Levee and Olive street, and resulted in three of its inmates losing their lives, was the first knowledge many peo- ple had that there was such a place in the city as a 10-cent lodging- house. And yet there are scores of these x Places in St. Louis. The others have not the religious services connected with them which were a feature of the Bethel Home, but this is their only point of difference. The Bethel was the only one of them havinga mission connected with it. A cheap lodging-house is a strange place. The tramps from all parts of the world are to be found resting their weary forms on the hard beds, Among the group are often to be found worthy men whose temporary distress has driven them to seek refuge for the night in one of these places. Then there are many men working for very small wages who are constant lodgers at the houses. 2 72 €. ms a r ALS 2 e Ly, 5 105 / 77 MN 3 7 > } WA “9 1 77 a 4it,4 Me 7 et 1 They feel, 0 ey feelt o have been a constant and liberal and was equipped with a big, long dining table at which about sixty people could de seated at a time.

Abeir..meangs Will @8%-permit of their sleeping elsewhere. Some of the houses, to be sure, are frequented by the very lowest characters, but many of thém are run as strictly as it is possible to run an institution of that kind. As a whole, they certainly do much good, as they afford shelter to many an unfortunate who would otherwise have to do without it. THE FRIENDLY INN. A few nights ago a representative of the POST-DISPATCH made around of some of the best known of these places. It was close on to midnight when he started out. The Friendly Inn, at Third and Ashley street, was the first place visited. Outside the door afew men were gathered discussing their own little affairs. A hall leads back to the office and in this hall were a half dozen more men stretched out upon benches trying hard to sleep. The office itself resembles a calabooss cell more than anything else, and the light for the clerk was supplied by an old railroad lantern which hung above the window at which the dia- mondless clerk stood. This functionary was a stout man with linen that was not over clean, but he seemed agreeable enough, and jerking down the lantern from its hanging lace showed the visitor through the house. he lantern gone, nothing was left to illumin- ate the entrance save an old coal-oil lamp, which shed its dim rays about the gloomy hali. The clerk led the way up-stairs tothe second floor, where a strange sight greeted the reporter’seye. A long room runningthe entire length of the building and about eighteen or twenty feet wide was literally filled with smail, iron- framed single beds, which were arranged along either side of the room at distances of abouta footapart. Witha few exceptions, allthe beds hadtags bearing the numbers hanging from them. Some of these tags were lain, unpainted tin with uncouth lack figures adorning them, while others were of paste-board, numbered with ink or lead pencil. In fact, the tags appeared to be made of anything that could be secured, and all were suspended from the center of the rods spannin the head of the bed by a piece of twine. A narrow aisle af- forded a passage-way between the two tiers of beds which lined the walis of the rooms. More than half the beds were occupied, and it is safe to say that nearly all nationalities were represented. Some ofthe lodgers had retired half dressed, others with all their clothes on, and still others without any clothes on. ANOTHER ROOM to one side was shown the scribe and the scene was a repetition ot the front room. The third floor was the same as the second floor. There must be nearly 150 beds in the institution, and every night they are, with few exceptions, occupied, Among the beds are six for which 15 cents a night is charged, but the bal- ance are all rented or the uniform price of 10 cents. The visitor noticed that the half dozen ‘‘high-priced’’ couches were all unoccupied. A restaurant isrunin connection with the lace where meals can be 1 anywhere rom 5 cents to 15 cents or 20 cents apiece. The lace is the largest lodging-house ofthe kind nthe city, and has the largest patronage, though none of the houses are lacking in that. It was in 1877 or thereabouts that the Rev. Penrose Chapman, an evangelist, opened the Friendly nn. It was then located across the street from where it now is, and was the first very cheap lodging house house started in the — 2 At the time it was ree. the cheapest price at which a bed could be procured any- where in St. Louis was 2% cents, and it was started as a charitable institution for the ac- commedation of tramps and other unfortu- nates.

After a few years wf the life, the evangelist sold out, got married and went to Arkansas to live, purchasing a farm there out of his profits, itis said, from the Friendly Inn. There the climate did not agree with bim, and he was taken sick and died. With his retirement from the place the re- ligious services at the Friendly Inn were dis- continued, and never been held since. There mission in the adjoining where services are regularly held, but it has no connection whatever with the lodging house itself. The place has never since been run as Chapman managed it, and for awhile it was in very bad condition. It is being improved again, how- ever, and is much cleaner now than it was a shorttime ago. A builder who has an office on Chestnut street has owned the place for several years, but employs others to manage it for him. ‘ MINTZBURG’S. From the Friendly Inn, the reporter went to Mintzburg’s establishment at No. 1210 North Third street, in the same block. There the night watchman immediately jumped at the conclusion that — gaa was in search of lodging, and said: Oh, Ioan give youa splendid bed for 15 cents. I can give you one of the nicest beds in the city for 15 cents. You may go to hotels and you won’t find sucha nice clean bed -in many of them. Don't you rent beds for 10 cents also?“ Mes, but for 15 cents I can show you a bed that is good enough for anybody. We have nice beds for 10 cents, but our 15 cent beds are elegant. Let me show you them,’’ and the old man led the way up-stairs and ushered the reporter into a room in which there were a half dozen beds with one ortwo er ye occupied by lodgers. We have nearly all steady boarders,’’ ex- plained the old man. See, and he pulled down the covers, ‘‘the beds are all nice and clean and soft.’’ He showed the way through several other rooms and up to the next floor, explain- ing which beds were 10 cents and which 15 cents. Every room was ocoupled by five or six beds, and as the rooms are small, it required some man- agementto crowd them all in, but the beds were quite clean considering the prices charged. It was hardly a place wherea mil- lionaire would want to rest his head, however. There is also a cheap restaurant run in con- nection with this house. . THE CLINTON HOUSE. On the next block tothe south, Third, be- tween Wash and Carr streets, is located the Clinton House, another of these 10-cent lodg- ing establishments. Men ge are allowed in the Friendly Inn and at intzburg’s, but the Clinton House accommodates both sexes. As high as ten beds were there found crowded into one room, some of the lodgers baving to climb over other lodgers’ beds to reach their own. There are anumber of rooms in the house and quite a number of people can be accommodated. Visits were aiso paid to several other places and all have their peculi- arities. Most of the houses along old Broad- way, or North Third street, as it is at present called. have both male and female lodgers, and some of them are very hard holes. The Bethel Home had its bunks arranged in tiers like berths on a ship, one above the other. W were only two deep at the ethel, while in some of the houses they are three and even four deep. The Virginia House, on the Levee, between Christy avenue and Morgan, which was for years run by Pete Ruga, is the best known establishment of this kind with the beds arranged in tiers. These cheap lodging-houses and restaurants are to be found anywhere along the Levee from Chouteau avenue to Franklin avenue, on old Broadway, the present North Third street, about six and Morgan streets, on South Sixth street and in the district lying be- tween the river and Fourth and Plum streets. There are also a few scattered elsewhere, but nearly all of them are in these neighborhoods. On North Third street, in addition to those alread named, are the Empire House, at No. 1 North Third street, which is also known as the Lyttle House, the Washington or Ward ouse, at No. 1025 North Third street, Joseph Herold’s house at 1028 North Third street, a place on Third, just south of Morgan street, and several other places, at any of whicha can be procured for 10 cents. Some of them have what they call a 56-cent bunk, which means a sleep in a chair or on Herold runs a cheap 2844 a. ond a ———ů— ‚-—— — D ²˙ .

THERE WHAT CHEER’’ RESTAURANT, which achieved more notoriety perhaps than any cheap restaurantever established in the city, was also located in this neighborhood. It was on Morgan street between Sixth and Seventh streets and for a — time advertised extensively and did arushing business. So famous did the name become that another man started a restaurant across the street trom it and called his place by the same name. A lawsuit resuited in which the ‘‘Original What Cheer’’ came out victorious, and the other restaurant was forced to adopt another name. A cheap restaurant which is patronzed by bootblacks is located on Sixth street, between Mark et and Walnut streets. There a cup of coffee and ahalfa pie can be purchased for 5cents. There are also several other chea restaurants in that immediate neighborhoo on Sixth and Market streets both, but they all want 15 cents for a meal. The Eldorado House at No. 607 Market street provides news- boys with lodging for 10 cents a head. Men have to pay more. The lace has quite a run of newsboys. Chere is another cheap — ag house on Wal- nut street near the Standard Theater. Main, Second and Third streets from Clark avenue south to Plum street and the cross streets in that district are lined with 10-cent lodging and boarding- houses. In many of these places the men do not eat regular meals, but pay 10 cents for a bed and live on beer and bread, The best known establishments in this dis- trict are Henry Stahi’s 401 South Second street, both a lodging and meal lodging-house ut No. 215 Spruce street, one at No. 405 South Main street, one at 520 South Third street, the place atthe zorthwest cor- ner of Third and Elm streets, the lodging- house RUN BY A WOMAN at No. 3283 South Second street and Mrs. Charles Kreitling’s establishment at No. 407 South Sec- ond. Mrs. Kreitiing’s husband used to keep a place on the Levee and Spruce streets where he was killed by John Maloney on July 4 last. After his death Kreitling’s widow moved to her present location. It is on the Levee, however, that the cheap lodging and eating houses are to be seen in their greatest glory. There the whites and blacks eat and sleep together. As a negro ex- pressed it to a reporter: ou may be given one bed and I be given the berth directly over you or the bed adjoin- ing yours. Weare all on a level in those — —＋ It makes no difference about your color.“ When the old Virginia between Christy ave- nue and Morgan street, referred to previous- ly, was run by Pete Kuga it was perhaps the best known of all these Levee lodging houses. Since the change of proprietorship, however, it has lost its prestige, and now the bright particular star of these Levee resorts is the place at No. 7 North Levee known as Jack-in-the-Box’s. It is kept by one Antonio Cantoni, but few know him by any name save Jack-in-the-Box. He runs both a lodging and eating house. A woman keeps a 5-ventlodging houseon the Levee above Locust street. There isthe St. Paul House at 406 North Levee, the Cincinnati and Lafayette Houses in the same block, and the Chicago Exchange, next door to the fayette House. There is the Montague House on North Levee, the Scandinavian House near Market street, Frank Kottemeyer’s piace at Morgan* and Levee, Joe Morris’ at Chris avenue and the Levee, Pete’s at No. 308 Nort Levee, Louis’ at No. 3 Market street and others too numerous to mention. In fact, the whole river front is lined with them. Most = them are eating-houses as well as lodging- ouses. 837 for the Round-Trip.

Carl Schurz’ public reception in Berlin has certainly been of a most sympathetic and flat- tering character. His visit at the Im al Chancellor’s palace lasted upward of two heurs, during a portion of which time Prince Bismarck and his guest walked in the garden, deeply engaged in conversation. Among other uests at the dinner ount Donhoff-Friederichstein, the former Secretary of the German Legation at Washing- ton; Count Herbert Bismarek, Count Eulen- burg and Prince Furstenterg were present. Previous to leaving Hamburg he was also re- ceived by Crown ince William. Tem mutantur et nos mutamur in illis. Thirty- nine years ago the honored guegt of the omnip- otent Chancellor was afugitive and an out- law on German soil, and it would have fared ill with him had he fallen ingo the hands of the authorities. In this conn n it may be in- teresting to know that the name of the friend who, at the risk of his own freedom, assisted both Godfried Kinkle and Cari Schurz nd the frontier is Adolf Hensel, who at that time was settied on an estate near Spandau, and later on became an alderman in the city of Gorlitz, and one of the leaders of the - sist party.

NEw June 9.— the con- iracy didn’t work. The scheme, which was exposed 0 0 in this dispatch 67 ; last week, whereby a combine of Wall street speculatogs and Re- publican ‘‘protectionists’’ proposed to raid the stock market on the announcement of Cleveland’s renomination, withthe adoption ofa tariff reform platform, was attempted and failed utterly. There were big men in it. The plans were all perfected. Even the sig- mal was given for the atrocious raiding racket to begin, but suddenly there interposed obstacles of a character that com- pletely knocked the scheme to flinders. A combination of men who were determined to defeat the projects of the demoralizers was organized in a burry and it had in it not only men with millions of money, but it embraced, too, men who have been figuring as the bead and front of the recent bear movements in the street, and word was sent out that if the riiding was to go on forthe sake of political trickery, it would be made not only interest- ing, butexpensive. Whatalaek of sporting blood was then displayed by the raiding com- Dine. They shuffied and skedaddled in a and the nomination atst.

The head of a prominent firm, whose office rent is $7,500 a year, told me to-day that their entire com- missions for the last sixty days had amounted to only $600, not enough to pay clerk hire. The public seems to have grown tired of play- ing the game. 4 Recent reports of the Western roads are not reassuring, that ofthe Northwest, however, being an exception. This great corporation shows a profit during the year of over 10 per cent on both its preferred and common stock. Still the street cynics shake their heads over these reports of surplus earnings and ask why it is that the stockholders never get the bene- fit of them. Roads that have apparently earned from 10 to 12 per cent for a number. of ars never have paid more than 6 per cent — their stocks, and when troubulous times come at ence begin to talk of reducing their dividends. Ad feti feature is the dullness of the fron and steel business. Steel rails are lower than for years and are offering lower and lower each successive week. Jay Gould’s famed saying is getting popular again: „Stocks never go up when iron is going down.’’ N a = Jay Gould is to be home on Tuesday and im- rtant action is expected in the matter of the ture management of his properties, more particularly Missouri Pacific.

A dispatch received by a Wall street man of consequence to-day from Mr. Gould indicates that Gould is coming back from the West ch more bullish than he was when he left. 2 believe that he can change the of Wall street affairs, but other people are a little skeptical on this score. Jay, him- if, has contributed too much to the present tock market demoralization to be able to remedy it all off-hand. «*e Wall street men who expect a better state of things point to the continued absorption of all the new bond issues. Eve important loan recently put out has been subscribed for three times over, and there is a steady sale of new bonds to investors over the counters of the t banking houses.

THAT GOVERNMENT REPORT, ‘The Excitement It Caused inthe Markets *HICAGO, June 9.—The week be- gan and ended sensationally in wheat. It was not until Mon- day and Tuesday that the signifi- cance of the enormous liqui- dation of July wheat by the Lyn n—Ondahy combination was fully under- stood and by the time that it was fairly digested the market got into a state of inactive ex- pectancy, pending the issuance of the Govern- and a boycott not only against the ‘‘corner- ers,’’ but against the Chicago market, was An immediate and decided programme was decided The projected corner“! was combination dumped 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 bu of its July wheat, and bought nearly as much more for August and December. ey pounded July ostenta- tiously with this enormous line of long wheat, in order to get their August and Decem as cheap as possible.

Later advices from the Northwest are less 12 and * — N very large percentage of late-sown wheat in the Red River Valley and other Northern areas has notcomeup yet. The season is a month laterand the chances are against anything like a full crop. The Government’s statis- tiolan estimates a reduced acreage of 1 per cent, which was somewhat surovrisin to the crowd. 80 now, instead o cursing their bad generalship and faitk - lessneses to the dull side, nothing but praises for their wise, prudent, broad- gauge and merchant-like sense in changing their policy are heard about Linn, Cudahy and their associates. All fear of a corner or deal in July have been dissipated. The curse of force and artificiality has n wholly elim- inated from the situation, and the bulls now agree that the market is the healthier for it. The Government report had a remarkable effect on the market to-day. It produced a series of violent convulsions on account of the con- fiicting interpretations put upon the estim- ates. Private information received by two or three brokers a few moments in advance of everybody else set them to buying on a — scale. They learned that the report woul show an improvement in condition. A few minutes afterwards the Postal Tele- graph Co. bulletined the estimate of condi- tion at 66 points, a reduction of 7 points from the May report. On this the market sky-rocketed, July bounding from Sade to ssue and December from 86\c to 87A. When the official copy came it was discovered that the estimate was 73.3,a gain of two-tenths ot a point. Without stopping to inquire into the significance of the special 1a estimate of a reduction of winter wheat 1,750, - acres and spring wheat 134,000 acres the crowd jumped on the market and sold it off nearly 2 cents in a quarter of an hour. Careful study of the report in the meantime revealed the fact that in net results the 66 per cent bulletin was not out of the way, and thereafter the course of prices was up- ward, all lost ground being recovered and the market closing strong as bull-beef at the top. Apropos of the report, the local market re- viewer says this afternoon: ‘‘There has not been so much mathematical labor on the board for months as was performed to-day over this Government report. Summarized, the result arrived at shows a shortage es from 80,000,000 to 160,000,000. A. Thomas an Joe McDonald make the winter wheat short- age 58,000,000 bu, but they are further to one extreme than W. T. Baker, who figures a total crop (spring and winter) of 352,. 000 bu, or 140,000,000 bu less than last year. „Billy“ Linn makes the crop 375,000,000 bu; William Dunn, 358,000, bu; Fred Small, un- der 400,000,000; Lindbloom, 884,000,000 bu; Ream, under 400,000,000 bu; Nat Jones, 875,000,000 bu; Frank Kammerer, 400,000,- 000 bu or less; William Young, 375, 000, 000 bu, andsoon through the list. Rarely isa man found this afternoon who claims over 400,000,000 bu by Government figures. This amounts to official confirmation of estimates of private crop reports, whoas long ago as May 1, began predicting a shortage of 75,000,- 000 to 80,000, bufor this year. They were ridiculed as rank alarmists and professional crop killers. > x. . The market was savage to-day. The shrewd- est traders were the old ones, who were pun- ished worst. Numerous cases of Whip saw’’ forlarge amounts occurred. Geo. Baldwin, whose advance information on the May report — him $2,000 or $3,000, got it in the neck agen to-day. He sold 400,000 to 500,000 bu at 88 85H, most of which was covered a cent higher, and then he turned seller again on the break zetting it coming and going. He wr a good society, however. On the curv to-nigbt the market is Me over the closing price, and it seems to be generally ex- pected that Monday will witness an excited and higher opening from the momentum gained this ternoon. Anybody riding the market to-day through the principal fluctua- tions could have netted 7@8c. «*« Nothing was heard to-day about the visible supply, but there is certain to be a liberal de- crease. * ° — Receipts and shipments of the three leading cereals at this point for the week were as fol- lows: Receipts—Wheat, 220,469 bu; corn, 2,030,508 bu; oats, 1,546,293 bu. Shipments— Wheat, 178,165 bu; corn, 1,865,061 bu; oats, 1,487,412 bu. As will be seen by the foregoing table, receipts of corn and oats are keeping up amazingly, The corn bulls are sweating rivers of brine and groaning under the accu- mulating burden, and to their grief it is re- ported that holdings in the country are heavy as ever. Will there be no let-up?’’ is their cry. The market has slowly yielded fo the ressure of cash, and the speculative offer - ugs and the price is once more approaching the 500 mark. It's only a little way off now. June receipts of corn are usually heavier than any month in the year. 2 * The provision situation may be reviewed as follows: In provision circles business ig still provokingly dull. The little activity occa- sioned by the opening of a new month having subsided, the market last week was more than usually contracted. It had no life in any di- rection, no general interest was exhibited, and the changes from day to day were limited. The trade, in a word, was in a slow rut, and only escaped stagna- tion by the anxiety of the few pit dealers present to keep upa little show of trading. Outside orders of ail descriptions were smaller for the week than are often re- ceived in one hour in busy times, and there wasno developmentto broaden the market or make it more exciting. In the early part of the week there was some disposition to boom the product on the light run of hogs, but later the feeling weakened, and the advance ob- tained was almost wholly lost. With speculation in an unpromising con- dition and the distributive trade far from satisfactory, traders were more bearish in sentiment than otherwise. The upward turn experienced received little or no genuine support while it lasted, and when rices began to recede the decline was much aster than the advapce. * ° * Chicago weekly nog supplies were somewhat uneven this year. their marketing was un- der the contro! of a farmers’ trust the move- ment could scarcely show greater irregularity. The week’s total arrivals were only 87,276, against 124,842 for the week 123 ng. and 117,282 for the week ending on the 26th inst. Hogs continue to make an excellent showing in point of uality, but their irregular and uneven marketing has made it difficult, if not impossible, for pack- ersand other buyers to make —5 arrange mente ahead. ine local packing- houses were open last week. Their seeenene how- ever, were restricted by the failure of the ho receipts to reach an segregate suf- ficiently large to meet the want ot buyers without turning prices sky wardsand the number slaughtered scarcely exceeded 50,000 bead. Since March 1 the Chicago ge ing approximates 800,000 hogs, or some 50,000 less than the returns made at this date in 1887. In the entire West the packing from March 1 is 2,190,000, or 15,000 less than the number slaughtered for a similar period last 1 Chat From Change. HE wheat traders oa Change have had a lively week of it, and it wound up yesterday amid a howl of solid excitement that was simply terrific. There was some rapid changes and skipping around from one side of the market to the other. A specu- lator who was a rampant bull one day would be a pounding market ; bear the next, | back again. Old Taurus captured the camp finally aud the close of the week saw Mr. Bull on top, with July wheat selling at ue and December 914c. Early in the week—on Tues- day—July had sold at 88%c and December at 880. It was the old crop-damage story that did the bearsup. The report of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, which placed the crop’s condition in this State at 66c wasa perfect bombshell to the shorts. The Red- mond Oleary Commission Co. got hold of this first and used it with good advantage for their customers, and then the news trickled around among the crowd, starting a perfect stampede for the buying side. Then the Michigan State report came out every bit as bad as Mis- souri’s, and with any number of most alarm - ing private advices there was a dance to bull musie for a day or so. The markets finally quieted down and the trade rested on their oars for the Government report to come out and settle the matter definitely. Yesterday it was received and for afew brief burning moments the pit was crazy with excitement. The first report placed the crops con- dition at 66. As the we | estimate had been 78, itis not surprising that this alleged fall- ing off set nearly the whole crowd to buying, and one ofthe quickest turns on record took place. The correct figures of 73.3 had just the reverse effect, and the scramble to sell broke the market down lower than it had been in the morning. 1 a strong bullish feeling cro bed out, the fact that the acreage sown to wheat had been reduced 1, 50, 000 acdes through floods and plowing up, and that the statistical experts figured a short- age in the crop running all the way from 80,- 000,000 to 100,000,000 bu; 8 in a great many buyers and running the price up again as high as ithad gone during the 66 excite- ment. ‘The feeling at the close of yesterday was undoubtedly very bullish in the St. Louis market. In fact, there were al- most too many on that side to make it look the safe side for the conservative trader. But the sentiment is undoubtedly growing in favor of higher prices and if the outsider comesinas a buyer there is no telling just how high wheat will go. A prominent bear who switched over to the bull side, and who talks $1 wheat, isSam Barnes, andthere are others of smaller caliber who changed sides. Theold bulls are more san- uine than ever, and feel themselves greatly ortified in their positions by the Govern- ment’s report. The firms of Redmond Clear & Co., Billingsley & Nanson, S. W. Cobb Co., D. R. Francis & Bros., Puff & Helm, W. T. Anderson, all good strong houses, along with others, are very bullish and advise buying on every weak spot. Fred Puff shows great con- fidence in the bull side. Sid Francis says he has been bullish for sometime. Oswald Graves can hardly be restrained from buying the crop outright. It is said that Frank Ryan has a strong liking forthe long side of the market andis looking for a goodsoft spot to load upon. On the other hand, the most promin- ent and pene bears are comparatively few and can be named in John Thyson and his artner, Joe Davidson, Henry Vogelsang oses Fraley and Henry Dieckman. Most of the low-price adherents are only so because they believe the rush of new wheat to market will swamp prices and send themlower. Jake Ewald, who isin New York, wired his senti- ments in response to an inquiry, and they Age; At the opinion of these bears. He said: For the long run Jam getting bullish and we may have an up turn on the Government report, but the movements of wheat in —4 7 Aug ust and September are always and will be large and I think wheat can be bought for the advance on crop in September as cheaply as now. Nowhere thatI have been, so far, is there any snap in the market, and the holders of wheat are all waiting for some one else to tt it up to sell out on, but the lambs do not x \terialize.’’ 2 * There was any amount of figuring on the Government’s returns, and no two seemed to * Yesterday afternoon George Small L. Green and the ‘‘Scalper’’ sat down, an after wasting any amount of paper, lead pen- cils and first-class gray matter, they arrived at the following conclusion: The winter wheat area of 1887 was 24,060,000 acres. Deduct from that 4 per cent less average this year, or . acres, and 1, 750, 000 acres plowed up and lost by floods, leaves 21,350,000 acres. The average yield per acre last year was about 12 bu. The falling off in condition of 12 points 85 in June 1887, and 73 in June, 1888—makes the yield about 10% bu per acre for 1888. This would give a winter wheat crop of 224,000,000 bu, or 69,000,000 bu less than the winter wheat crop of 1887. Ifthe spring wheat crop of this year is as large as last year’s, the total wheat crop ofthe United States will reach on this figuring about 388,000,000 bu. 2 * That the winter wheat crop of 1888 is a very late one is an incontestible fact. There are Over a dosen commission houses in St. Louis that sent out sacks to the country, in which to ship wheat to this market. These sacks are goneresy sent to river points for transporta- tion by boats. The houses prominently en- aged in this line, and known as sack ouses, were asked how the demand for sacks this year compared with 1887 at this time: Billingsley & Nanson: We had a large num- ber of sacks out this time last year. We shipped one lot of sacks a the Missouri last year, but haven’tan inquiry from there yet, and few from any other section.’’ R. Cleary & Co. had good-sized orders on Inne 1 last year, and had probably sent out 50,000 sacks by June 10, aven’t shipped a sack yet. John Wahl & Co.: Not a sack sent yet, and look for season to be three or four weeks later than usual. Coie Bros. had nearly all their sacks placed —1 time last year and only a few inquiries so ar. Langenberg Bros. say their orders for sacks so far are about 10 percent g@hat they were this time last year. W. T. Anderson & Co. had two inquiries so far. About all ordered last year at this time. J. W. Booth & Sons shipped sacks June 1 last year; not started yet, though had one or two applications. F. Schwatz & Co. sa very late. Last year by June 15 fully a million sacks had been shipped or ordered shipped to country — So far hardly any have been sent out. ason undoubtedly > * There have been many wildly exciting scenes in the grain pit on Change, but none could 1 the flare-up of yesterday, con- sidering the brief time it was compressed in. Everybody was awaiting the Government re- port. The feeling was nervous and strained to the utmost. A rapid drop inthe Chicago’s chalk marks ef wheat caught some one’s eye, and “‘She’s busted’’ was the cry. A rush to sell broke wheat to Sue in the twinkling of an eye, amid the howis ofthe exultant bears. There's music in the air, I hear it pealing!’’ shouted Joe Davidson, and he plunged fato the thickest of the fray, while every bear — in the chase for lower prices, with essrs. Fraley and Jess dancing a wild can- can in the center of the pit. Just then a broker rushed in waving atelegram and bowl ing Government makes it 66! Buy wheat at a half!“ A dozen messages giving the same information was received by differ- ent traders, and the Postal Telggraph Co. posted on its blackboard ‘‘Condition of cron A change of front at once occurred, and from howling sellers the crowd was turned into amass of screaming buyers. Loud and . cheers, howls and cat-calls were eard. The pit swayed with the rush of struggling traders, who, with wild gesticula- tions, threw up their arma and clamored for wheat.

The price broke below the 50s for the first time in several weeks. It was what is called a ‘‘sick market. There was too much medi- cine in the shape of actual bona-fide corn ad- ministered and it couldn’t stand the dose. As there hasn’t been much speculation in this cereal for along time, there were no large lines out and consequently no panic, so the market just quietly sagged and sagged until yesterday July got down to 48%c. In the — couple weeks over 1,000,000 bu corn has arrievd here and the stock has crawled up to 750,000 bu. There isn’t much demand for corn here, but receivers say the movementto market is about to let upand will soon fall away to small dimensions once more. 2 * It seems strange that St. Louis commission houses and brokers do not have offices ar- ranged for their customers’ convenience ,such as Ohicago grain concerns have. Take the leading house in that line there, their offices are fitted up with blackboards upon which are posted every eee in every quotation of their markets, received by ‘‘tickers;’’ they have on file all the commercial and important news current for the day, and, in fact, every- thing that men who deal in grale provisions and stocks take any interest in. These offices their customers can drop into at any time and get posted upon the market, or can stay there all day ifthey wish. Now, here in St. Louis a city or country customer is obliged to chase on Change to see how the market is and learn the news that influences the market. There is not a grain house in the city that has offices arranged as ars those of Chicago. Probably a couple St. Louis con- cerns hays ‘‘tickers’’ that give the 8t. Louis market. Acommission house or brokerage firm that would open a ground-floor office on Third, Fourth or some side streets, with all the conveniences noted above, would un- doubtedly attract a goodly share of outside patronage. + ° * From now on until after the 5th of Novem- ber political excitement will run high on ‘Change. Among the many men who congre- gate onthe floor there is naturally a large number who take more or less interest in poli- | tics; indeed some of them are out-and-out politicians, and some are layed-out politi- clans. And as there are several hiah-rollers, when it comesto betting and backing their opinions, the nextfew months will undoubt- edly see any number of wagers made on the coming Presidential election. The Democrats are inthe majority on Change and having every confidence in the success of their ticket, they are even now willing and ready to put N their money on Cleveland and Thurman. Their Republican friends, however, are by no means eager to bet on the candidates their F will nominate, and only a John T. atson small shade of odds’’ bet—say three or four to one—can catch them. 2 * The uncommercial conduct of a certain St. Louis grain man is attracting considerable at- tention among those who have knowledge of it. This Exchange member is in the habit of hanging arvund the Registrar’s desk and when a stranger is introduced by a gentleman in the same line of trade heis in, he follows them onthe floor and when he gets a chance to privately accost the stranger he does it in this way: How de do, sir! My name is so- and so. I was formerly in business with Mr. Blank, who introduced you on ‘Change. He’s an old friend and partner of mine. Would like to do a little business for you. Wheat looks strong, very. Let me buy youafive. Now, I'll tell you what I’li do. I’li buy five wheat and if it makes you any money Lill charge you $ for commissions; if it doesn’t I'll not charge you a cent. Generally this tempting offer is accepted (the average countryman is keen enough in saving $5) and the trade is made. Then, if wheat ad- vances an eighth Mr. So-and-so sells out the five, pockets his $ commission and gives his customer the profite. If wheat doesn’t ad- vance, Mr. Customer is called upon for mar- gins. There has been some quiet kicking over this member’s actions, but no complaint has as yet been made against him.

THE WELCH BRIBERY CASE. Millionaire Holmes Severely Scored by the Attorney for the Prosecution. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. 0 CHIC AGO, III., June 9.—The investigation of the bribery charge against Sumner C. Welch went on again to-day and was chiefly remark- able for bringing out direct accusations of complicity in the alleged crime against C. B. Holmes. Mr. Holmes is President of the Chi- cago City Railway Co.,which employed Welch, it is averred, to bribe witnesses and jurors in damage suits brought against it. Mr. Holmes is also superintendent of the biggest — school in Chicago anda pillar of the church. The case against Welch is believed to be very strong. Any way, there has been lots of damaging testimony against him and his hair has turped from jet black to gray while the investigation bas been going on. Attorney John Lyle King summed up the case for the prosecution to-dayand took oc- casion to pay his respects to Mr. Holmes. He said: ‘‘Mr. Holmes the president, the actual manager ot the institution. Both must be cognizant of all the operations of the com- pany. Mr. Holmes is responsible to the com- pany, to his conscience, and under the law for every cent expended. What responsi- bility does Mr. Holmes exact of Mr. Simply Welch's statement. And stand Mr. Holmes was unable to recall in a single instance what Welch had told him he wanted the money for. Mr. Holmes makes a strong draft on our credulit when he asks us to believe his statement. Is that the way in which the great commercial business of this country is conducted? It is incredible. Mr. Holmes is, atthe very least, a party to a system which would conceal the crimes we charge. If there are honest ac- countsin the vouchers, the company they keep condemns them. Public opinion looks to Mr. C. B. Holmes as the most guilty one in that corrupt company. He finished by describing Mr. Holmes as a man who became a social pariah, as a result of this investigation and comparing him with the boodlers, Dick Tate and other criminals in Canada. It is quite likely that Holmes will be indicted before the investigation is over. READ the local ‘‘STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.’’ Adele Menard’s Queer Freak, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 9.—It now turns out that Adele Menard, who turned up a day or two ago after a ‘‘disappearance’’ of ten days, spent the time in the woods and new houses within a mile of her father’s residence and was able tonote the movements of the family each day. She purchased food at the grocers in the vicinity of Fourteenth avenue north and Twenty-first street, and wore boys’ clothing in order to avoid discovery. She was recognized by Mrs. Mary Blanchard and her sons, living at Eleventh street and Twelfth avenue north. At first Adele claimed that her name was Pet- erson, but finally confessed her identity. Her step-mother was notified and Adele re- turned home. After her disappearance Mr. Menard offered $100 for information concern- ing her whereabouts, and the parties who discovered the giri have set up a claim to the reward. There is some dispute among them as to which should get it. Rap the local ‘*STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.’’ Kidnapped by a Gypsy Queen. By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPatcu. PaRKERSBURG, W.

LOUIS OWNERS OF WESTERN PROPERTIES. Details of the Workings and Outputs of the Mines in the Leadville Camp aud in That Neighborhood—Local Mining Informa. tion—Sales on the Curb—News, Notes and Gossip. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcn. E‘ADVILLE, Colo., June 5.— The most im- portant mining news of the week in Leadville is the report of the strike in the Po- cahontas. The s haft of this property, in sink- ing, cut through a vein of high grade ore four feet thick. The Pocahontas is lo- cated on Car- bonate Hill, al- most with the city limits. As no ore has hith- erto been found in Carbonate Hill so far south the new strike will very much increase the value of all the property in the vicinity. The Pocahontas is situated west of the Carbonate fault, and the ore body recently struck is the continuation of the Carbonate Hill ore schutes, probably the Evening Star. A short distance to the south of the Pocahontas shaft is that ofthe Glass Pendery, which is now being sunk by St. Louis people under the direction of Mr. John Campion. Theshaft is now down about 176 feet, and sinking is pro- gressing slowly and in a most economical manner. Machinery will not be placed at the shaft until water is encountered. The object of this shaft is to prospect the ground west of the carbonate fault in the same way as has been done by the Pocahontas and the recent success of the latter increases the probability of success in the former. It’s ex- pected that this new shaft will strike the con- tinuation of the old Glass Pendery and tua ore chute. The Etna mine is owned by people interested in the St. Louis Smelting (Co. and was a large producer in the early days of Leadville. The new enterprise of the Glass Pendery may be expensive, butitisa very well considered one and very probably will be successful. THE KEYSTONE SHAFT of the Queen Consolidated Co., has been worked under lease by a party of Leadville men for some months past. The lessees have been prospecting in the upper contact, which is above water level, and consequently it has been unnecessary to pump. ast week a small body of ore was encountered, but in re- gard to its amount and grade the management of the company has not yet been informed. It is probable th the Queen Company will re- sume active operations before long. The company owns a large area of property ina portion of Leadville which has not yet been well prospected. If work is resumed by the Queen it will probably be either ia the Queen shaft or the Sappho. Things continue to look well in the Miami and prospects improye. Ali ore streaks are tendingin a northeast direction, in which way the vein is =P hap There isa basin be- tween the Miami, El Paso and Aztec shafts andinthis itis the general opinion that a large ore — 41 will be found. he north end of the Miami is over this basin, near the center of which the El Paso shaft is supposedto be. The El Paso shaft reached the contact last week at a depth of 480 feet. The El Paso pumps are raising about five hundred gallons of water per minute. THE MINES OF LEADVILLE are at the present time producing about six hundred and fifty tons of ore per day and about two hundred and fifty tons of argentif- erous iron flux. This is 25 per cent less than the gross production six months ago. The fall- ing off is occasioned by the suspension of the Small Hopes, the Agassiz and some smaller mines, and the fact that the big lead produec- ers of Carbonate Hill are not now outputting at full capacity on account of the recent de- cline in the price of lead. The mines of Lead- ville are really doing as well this year as last, and the present dullness in the camp is chiefly due to the poor condition of the smelting in- dustry, which is gradually but surely being transferred to valley towns. Mr. Donaldson, manager of the Small Hopes, is at present away and there is nothing new from this property. All that can be said of the SMALL HOPES atthe present time is that it has a large amount of ground still unprospected and ore may be found in this and may not. The chief value of the Small Hopes to-day is the pros- ect, which is notan easy thing to estimate. The Dunkin, Matchless and Adams, were once considered mines worked out but became big producers again. Small Hopes may become the same but of course itis doubtful, Yesterday the diamond drill in the bottom of the Capen shaft of the Mansfield Group at- taineda depth of 1,030 feet. This drill has been in limestone for the last 250 feet, but re- cently has come into gray porphery again, and is thought to be ina dike. The management ofthe company still maintain the greatest faith in the ultimate success of the enterprise, but the meg cary A ofthe mining men of ad- ville have not this opinion. The Pyrmont Miping Co», which is operat- ing, is still driving its bug tunnel into the hill, following the course of the vein. No ore body of any consequence has yet been discovered, although some low-grade mineral and afew tringers of very good ore have been cut. The tunnel is now several hundred feet in the hill. The company expect to drive it some three or four hundred feet farther to a point wnere it is certainly expected that ore will be found. The Pyrmont property is about a mile distant from the President. — — LOCAL MINING GOSSIP. Yesterday’s Market—A Dull Day, But Good News From Several Properties. Yesterday was the last day of along period of depression in the mining market, the con- vention and the races, both of which are now over, having caused an almost universal iner- tia among mining stocks. * * * . I. X. L., in spite of the faith expressed by the insiders, continued low. It opened at 8, the sales at this figure amounting to 1,500 shares; dropped to 74%, at which 2,500 shares were dis- posed of, and closed at 7, 1,200 shares bringing this figure. Reports from the mine are con- flicting, some stating that the average value ofthe ore will not exceed 2 per ton, while others assert that $20is nearer the true value. * * The Meath still continues low in price, al- though a strong bull movement, said to emapate from Colorado, and to be sustained by James C. Moore, Cashier of the Merchants’ National Bank of this city, has recently made itself felt. Two hundred shares sold at 30, and 100 at 31%. A letter was received by a broker from Idaho Springs, stating that the mine was looking 8 at present, but that the contemplated sinking of the shaft to an additional depth of 100 feet, backed by such capital as that controlled by the Merchants’ Bank, gave every prospect of ultimate success. 1 Mascotte sold to-day at 57%, 600 bringing this price. The following te was received m J. P. Hutehinson: 1 have made a thorough examination of the Mas- cotte property and find above the 200 foot level about 4,000 tons ot ore that will, accord - ing to 1 taken and mill runs made, pay a profit of ber ton. The ledge in the shait 30 feet below the 200 foot level is strong and shows a better grade of ore at the bottom than at any point in the mine.

Simpson in the Early Days Among the “Rockies— Hunters and Indians Do Honor te -the First White Baby — Buried Alive— He Wrote His Own Epitaph. Special Correspondence of the Post-D1sPaTcu. ENVER, June 4.—The L 2 handsome monument — Which marks the last 7 7 resting-place of Geo. 8. Simpson, Colora- do’s pioneer and ex- plorer, is nearly fin- ished. Near Trinidad, this State, rises a „ mountain, known as Simpson’s Rest, named for that pioneer. On this mountain is a tomb cut out of the solid jrock, where he is buried, in accerdance with hie request. Long before his death George Simpson expressed the desire that his body might be laid away in the stern gray rock, near an old pine tree on its summit. His children are now erecting this monument at a cost of $1,000. George 8. Simpson’s father, Dr. Robert Simpson, at the age of 88, was known as the oldest inhabitant of St. Louis. He was @ noted physician and scholar, and was a Pioneer in the Mississippi Valley, as was his son George in the Rocky Mountains. George Simpson has always been regarded as the best educated and most scholarly of all the pioneers that came to the Rocky Mount- ains. But he was of arestiess nature, and early in life started for this region, which was almost an unknown and tnexplored wilder- ness. His original intention seems to have been to go to Oregon, but up in Wyoming he fell in with trappers and hunters en route for the Platte and Arkansas, and turned south- ward to the region now marked by the bound- ary lines of Colorado and New Mexico, where the life he led was one almost as isolated then as though he were in Central Africu. But little news came from the East, as George sent none to his people, and for a long time he was given upasdead. About 1542 he wasin what was known as the hardscrabble country, this State , and be, with Barclay and Doyle, are said to have built old Fort Pugblo on the site where Pueblo, Colo., now stands, a city which now ranks next to Denver in acom- mercial point of view. About this time Simpson became acquainted with Miss Juana Suaso. Women were few, and the young giris and senoritas in their cabin homes were all belles, and could count more proposals than the great society belies of the East in their list of conquests. In rude cabins and forts the young frontiersman told his tale of love. Often his rifle was by his side, for the Indians were troublesome, but the dangers that threatened only made the courtship more romantic. But there were other and more se- rious troubles,for ifthe young gir! said ‘‘yes’’ there was still another difficulty. There were no ministers or priests. But George Simpson was equal to any emergency like that. Miss Juana Suaso was a good equestrian, as girls on the frontier always are. Securing two good horses and throwing his rifle over bis shoulder, George started with his Spanish sweetheart on along journey to Taos, N. M. It was through a wild, unsettied country, and they were constantly on the alert, watching for hostile Indian bands. But the journey, which was a hard one, was made in safety,and he was married by a Catholic priest at Taos, November 30, 1842, and soon after settled at Canyon City, Colo., near the mouthof the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas. FIRST WHITE CHILD IN THE ROCKIES. It is often a disputed question as to who was the first child born in any frontier country, and it may — 5 be disputed in this in- ance, but from all that one can now ascer- Ain, isabel, George Simpson’s little baby piri, was the first white child born nColorado. Little baby Isabel Simpson was the pioneer baby, even as was her grand- father a pioneer at St. Louis, and her father a pioneerinthe Rockies. It was for her the first pioneer cradie was made in Colorado. Atthe timeof her birth there were celebra- tions, the like of which were possibly never geen on the American continent. The few hunters and trappers inthe vicinity came down from the mountainsto George Simp- sons bumble cabin home to bid the littie stranger welcome. Men who had been for years far away from the borderland even of civilization, bent in loving tenderness over little Isabel’s cradle. Old thoughts of home and the dear memories that always cluster around that sacred spot, came back to hunt- ers and trappers. strange sightit was— those hardy, brave frontier men, who hardly knew what danger was, and whose rifie’s aim was sure death, shedding tears around that frontier cradle. George Simpson made them welcome, and they duly celebrated the event ofthe birth of the first white child in Colorado in 1844—forty-four years ago. INDIANS HONOR THE FIRST BABY. But there was still a more important cele- n to come. The Indians had beard of the birth of Baby Isabel and came in hundreds from the plains and mountains to see the white papoose, as they called her. A great war dance was held by them in her honor. It was a welcome ofthe aborigines to the first white child. A war dance! It was their manner of honoring the coming of the ‘‘white pappoose,’’ and yet how symbolic and prophetic, for many of these same Indians who took part in this war dance, afew years later participated in some of the most horrible massacres on the plains, and dashed out brains of infants on the wagon wheels of the early emigrant trains. Ola chiefs and young warriors danced nearly the whole night near Simpson’s cabin. They made the night hideous with their weird a —— and wild orgies. All this could be nly seen and heard, for the squaws had t great fires around which they chanted and danced. And then they asked to see the white pap- .

BURIED ALIVE In ICE. On making bis return visit Sim on horseback to a landing on t souril and boarded a boat 1 his suspicions were aroused by the acts of half a dozen men on the boat. Atleastoncea day and some- times oftener, the boat would stop neara a sandbar and these men gees off the boat would hastily dig a hole in the sand, throw into it some object, cover it up and then hast- ening on deck the boat would again resume its trip towards St. Louis. **Who are you and what jis it you are doin on those sandbars?’’ finally asked Simpson o one who appeared to be a leader of this par- ticular erew. | — 10 have charge of the death orew, he re- Death crew?’’ wee Simpson. in a startled manner. What do you mean by that?’’ ‘*‘Why, stranger, don’t you know that the cholera is all over the country and thousands of people are dying every day?“ This was news to Simpson, so isolated a life he had been leading in the Rocky Mountains, and he hurriedly inquired. Is there cholera on this boat?“ **Yes,’’ replied the boatman, and they are dying pretty fast. Look out,stranger,your time may come next. This was emphasized by the boat again stopping and another corpse hastily buried in a sand-bar. The next day Simpson was attacked with the cholera, and, lying down near the smoke- stack, thought his time had come. One of the death crew coming along rolled him over, and giving him a shove with his foot, caused Sirhpson to utter a cry of pain. Not dead yet,’’ uttered the boatman, but his time will soon come. The boatman was starting away when he heard Simpson faintiy ery out, Come back,. The boatman re- turned and Simpson said: Tell the Cap- = or clerk of the boat thatI wish to see m. * THE LOST IS FOUND. The officer came, and, raising up on his el- bow, Simpson began to gasp out, I don’t want to be buried ina sandbaron the Mis- souri River and be eaten by catfish. lam very sick and do not think I can live long. I want you to take my body to St. Louis for burial. I have a little gold dust, continued Simpson, handing it to the officer; ‘‘here, take it. If this is not enough my father in St. Louis will see that you are liberally paid.’’ ‘*What’s your father’s name?“ „Simpson. , His full name?’’ Dr. Robert Simpson. My God, man!“ said the officer, Dr. Simpson is my family physician, and you—you are his long lost son eorge. Why I have heard more talk about you than any young man that ever left St. Louis.’’ Simpson was given the best of care, but, after going through a terrible paroxysm of pain, wag considered dead, and the officer had his body ‘packed awayin a box and covered with ice. Some time after one of the crew, passing near the box, saw the ice moving, and then piece after piece of ice was crowded over the sides of the box. Hastening to the officer he shouted out: ‘‘That dead man is coming to life.’’ Simpson had only fainted away, and was not dead. He finally reached St. Louis, and his reception at the old home was indeed a rdyal one. George Simpson died september 7, 1885, and was buried in ‘‘Simpson’s Rest’’ in a tomb cut out of the solid rock, as he had requested, and since that time a daughter has been buried by his side. It was on this mountain that bears his name that he had once found shelter from hostile Indians. He loved the spot, and before his death wrote the follow- ng: . SIMPSONS REST. Lay me to rest on your towering height, Where the silent cloud-shadows glide— Where solitude holds its slumberous reign Far away from the human tide. I fain would sleep near the old pine tree That looks down on the valley below, Like a soldier guarding a comrade’s grave Ora sentinel watching the foe. "Twas a refuge once, in the bygone time When a pitiful fate was near When my days were youug and full of love For a life Ll hold too dear. Through all the long years that have passed away, Since that night of storm and drea I’ve prayed that the boughs that sheltered me then Might wave o’er my dust when dead. Delye deep my grave in the stern gray rock, In its rigid embrace let me rest; With naught but rr name on the stone at my head, And the symbol of faith on my breast. One mourner, perhaps, mey remember where sleeps In his rock-ribbed tomb the lone dead— May breathe for the loved one to heaven a prayer, A tear to memory shed. To my administrators, executors and assignees. GEORGE S. SIMPSON, And George Simpson now sleeps in the spot he loved so well, in the stern gray rock near the old pine tree, one of the best and noblest of the pioneers to brave the hardships of the far West. He loved the great West, and aided much in its development and growth. Though dead hardly three years, even now the story of his life reads more like romauce than history. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

HE naval training ship Wachusett tried very hard several years ago to climb the Father of Watere, with a view to reach- ing this port, but failed signally. She got no farther than Cairo, the writer be- lieves, and there stuck fast in the sand. That was the nearest St. Louisans ever came to see- ing a full-rigged ship without making a jour- ney to the seaside. Those who haven’t heard the ocean roar and seen the white-capped waves come rolling merrily towards the golden sands of the beach, still have their first sea-going vessel to gaze upon. And now theycanenjoy the sight without journeying tothe seaside. A full-rigged three-master, several hundred feet in length, with glisten- ing sides and shining equipments, with huge cannon yawning through its port holes and streaming pennants playing in the breeze above its reefed sails, lies anchored in the miniature harbor cf Portsmouth, IN THE KENSINGYON GARDENS, atthe end of the old cable road. It is Her Majesty’s Ship, Pinafore,’’ which has been brought into these waters at a cost of $25,000, and which will remain for a season of four weeks at the Kensington. The ship is a pretty sight. Of course the reader will understand that this is not the original vessel—it is a per- fect counterpart of it, and land-lubbera will never be able to tell the difference.

The deluded landlady, impressed by the pleasant mien and well- dressed appearance of her prospective lodgers, starts through the house with the young rep- robates in tow. The latter turn down the counterpanes, punch the mattresses know- ingly, toy with the lace-fringed pillow shams, inquire anxiously if an extra rocker and a cuspidor could not be added to such and such an apartment, and survey the scenery from the windows with airs of disdain.

But it is the intention of the gentlemen who brought the vessel here to give a magnificent entertain- ment on its deck. Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular comic opera Pinafore, will be given with probably the finest company ever gathered together in this opera. The produc- tion will be known by the title ‘‘Pinafore Afloat, and THE CAST will include such operatic stars as Miss Loie Fuller, the Ustane in she“ last season; Miss Dell Kellogg, who is considered one of the best contraltos in the country; Miss Carrie Tutein, who made so much of the part of Peep- Ho with Duff’s ‘‘Mikado’’ company; W. H. Hamilton, who is known by his recent op- eratic work in New York; Wm. McLaughlin, the baritone who played the High Priest in „She; Will S. Rising, the tenor who was last season with Vernona Jarbeau, and who made such a great hit during- the long run of the Little Tycoon’’ in Philadelphia; George Olmi, late of the Casino, New York, and be- fore that with McCaull and D’Oyley Carte; Paul Brown, the original Admiral in ‘‘Pina- fore’’ in the great Boston produc- tion, aud ° Laplace, à bari- tone of fine stage presence who was a great success in New York opera last season. The chorus will abound in preety and shapely girls, fifty of the handsomestithat New York and Chicago could provide — been secured. The probabilities are that the dude will go skiffing for these gay choristers when they get their eyes on them. THE SPECTACLE. The west shore of the lake opposite the old cable Amphitheater has been covered with scenery, anda perfect horizon of water and sky beyond the harbor of Portsmouth has been obtained. As has already been stated, the management give out that they have ex- pended $25,000 in this production, and sceni- cally, as well as musically, itis expected to surpass any stage representation of the nauti- cal comic opera that has yet been given. The picture printed on this page gives a fair idea of the filiusion, though of course it cannot conve any suggestion of the vastness of the scene or the magnifi- cence of the spectacle. Portsmouth is shown at the sight of the picture and a work- ing light-house frames inthe view on the left, Sir Joseph and his sisters and his cousins, ete., will be round in gigs tothe man of-war when they make their visit. The costumes will be brilliant and every accessory of a value that will fit it to havea place in such a gorgeous spectacle. In addition to the usual auxiliaries seen in ‘‘Pinafore’’ a band of drilled marines will be introduced. The chorus will consist of seventy trained voices, B. Vogel’s orchestra from the Olympic Thea- ter and Grand Opera-house will furnish the music. MISS LOIE FULLER. Miss Loie Fuller, who will be the Josephine, is a young lady who hasrisen rapidly in her profession through a combination of talents and qualities seldom met withinany of the ladies of the stage. She is young, pretty, possessed of a charming form and a versatile mind, which enables her to readily adapt her- self to the nature of the part she undertakes. During the three years she was at the Bijou Opera-house, New York, she played a round of characters in the burlesque, and was success- fulin all. Her performances of Little Jack Sheppard in the buriesque of that name was the hit ofthe piece. She was afterwards en- gaged as Aladdin in the New York production of the Arabian Nights,’’ and after closing with that company assumed the part of Us- tane in She, and she will be remembered for her success in that play at the Olympic during the past season. She has hosts of friends in and out of the profession, and is to-day as popular personally as anyone could wish to be. MISS KELLOGG. Miss Dell Kellogg, the Buttercup in the Madison-Square Garden production of ‘‘Pina- fore’’ in New York, will play the same char- acter at Kensington Gardens. The New York Times sald (f her: Miss Kellogg is possessed of a magnificent charms the listener with its sweetness, and yet is one of the most powerful we have lately heard.

As a consequence there are always one or two rooms vacant, whereas the advertiser generally fills his house by one or two judicious advertisements in the PosT- DISPATCH. Although the labeled house is not down upon the list of the ‘‘roomers,’’ yet they de- cide to take it in. A yank at the bell brings a smiling lady to the door. „J see you have room for a vouple of boarders;’’ says the spokesman. es sir; step right in the parlor, gentle- men, replies the landlady as sbe bustles around and knocks dust off the chairs with her apron.

We never have a boarder leave the house unless he leaves the city. That is all the proof we want that our house is sat- isfactory. Now, there is Mr. Keyes, insurance man on Third street, he’s been with us for four years, and, really gentlemen, we couldn't drive himout. You want to see the rooms?

Carefully following the voluble landlady upstairs, they are ushered into the double room with the southern exposure. Pot boil- ers’ daubs hide breaks in the wall paper, while a few impossible cows, lithographed, n apr — mache frames, occupy posi- tion elsewhere on the walls. Little patches of paper fleck the wall over the mantel, mark- ing the spots where cigarette and baliet girl ee were pasted by the former occupant. he southern exposure takes in an undulating slope of back roofs, the monotony bein broken by dog-houses and chicken coops, ol ash barrels and garbage pails.

Neither are they impressed with the twist tobacco design of the bedstead legs and posts, nor the dirty pale blue color of the porous-plaster design perforated chairs. The carpet looks as if time had dealt harshly and uncompromisingly with it, while the ceiling presents a freckled ap- pearance, calculated to offset deleteriousiy the dreams of the oceupant of the room whose last waking gaze rested thereupon. With the growing impression that the respectable ex- terior of the building is a delusion anda snare the room-hunters depart. With the next house on their list they may have better luck, in fact they fall in clover. As the echoes of the bell die away a Hibernian monarch of the kitchen opens the door with The missisis not to hum, but the young missis is if yez will stip inter ther parlor.’’ THE YOUNG LADY. At the mention of the young lady the young men tumble over each other trying to enter the house. Each one fixes his mustache and awaits the daughter.

At this point the visitors assert their inge- nuity in n the young lady * in conversation. If there is a piano in the room they impudently strike a few chords, ask the damsel if she plays, what music she likes best, what are her favorite composers, etc.? If the daughter is good-looking, they assert all their attractive qualities, wax humor- ous, tell funny stories, u a silence occurs, when they are shown the vacant rooms. ad ting agg is admired, the taste of the landla complimented, and humorous sallles indulged in. At last there is no possible excuse for lingering and they slowly retire, after omar srg | themselves with the rates, reiterating their former prom- ise to let the landlady hear from them in a day or two. In this manner they pursue their quest, amusing themselves at the expense of the various landiadies, the family portraits upon the walle, evident parsimony exhibited in furnishing and table service. At last they tire, abandon their quest, home and sleep the sleep of the just, while the landladies re- tire with the fond hope that the morrow will fill up the vacant places @ the table, while the ‘‘roomers’’ know better as far as they are cencerned. 0 Great Reduction Sale at the Glebe. 5,000 CHILDREN’S waists 16 cents; nobby Star patterns pleated 2%, 50 and 7% cents; ROUSEVILLE, THE ONCE FAMOUS on. CENTRE, A DESERTED WILDERNESS. The Place Where John Steel Worked and Lived in Poverty and Won Fortune by an Accident—Solitude and Poverty Among the Ruins of a Great Industry—How the Inhabitants Live—The Valley of Disuse. Special Correspondence of the PostT-DIsPaTcH. - OUSEVILLE, Pa., May 16.—This town wus the home of Coal Oj, Johnny, whose ex- ploits in the wasting of riches have been known and read of all men. ~~ ™” Coal Oil Johnny, nor any other of the great throng which early in the sixties lived amid the feverish excitement of the oll regions, would know the place to- day. Johnny stopped the other day in Ou City, which under the smiles of the great Standard Oil Co., has grown to be the head and center of Oildom, but he did not re- visit the scene of his boyhood nor hunt out any of the old faces which used to stand agbast at the stories of his mad excesses. His was not the only fabulous fortune found Mereabouts, nor the only one that vanished as quickly and easily as it had come, and while old, worn-out wells which have pumped up millions of liquid gold go on in their wheezy, rheumatic fashion, making a barrel or two of petroleum a day, idiers in this noiseless land when they had some of the old stockings full dollars which, beyond a doubt, are hidden away in the old corners of this Valley of Dis- use. Banks were notin good odor with deni- zens of the oil regions in the days of the furor, They kept the ducats about them, and many a record of daring robbery lives here to prove it. Where Oil Creek wears its way noiselessly between lines of grizzly mountains, a quarter of a century ago the pulse of the oil excite- ment throbbed most madiy. Andit was here to Rouseville that men hurried to feel the mighty artery’s pulsation. The few inhabit- ants will open their eyes and wake up now, to tell a stranger when nigh onto ten thousand people got their mail at the Rouseville Post- office; when as far as you could see the air was pierced by towering derricks; when houses rented for big money, and a room hired for a year cost a comfortable year’s salary; when every incoming train was crowded with passengers until some even were forced to ride upon the roofs of the cars. Rude temporary houses were built by rearing fences to a height of four or five feet and covering them with oiled cloth. You paid two or three dollars for a bed and as much forameal. The town couldn’t begin to cook victuals enough, and the feeding lasted straight through the day and night. As fast as one man rose from the rough table and rough fare and went away to prosecute his wild labor, another took his place, It wasthe same way with beds, which were never vacant for more than five minutes, And where the carrion was the vultures gath- The Old McClintock House. ered too; adventurers of every stamp thronged into Rouseville till the town couldn't hold them. The most exciting occupation the place of- fers to-day is to sit in the sunshineon the well- carved benchatthe side of the station and look at and add to the long line of tobacco brands which hours of industrious chewing and expectoration has left upon the rickety sidewalk. The Justice of the Peace, a beard- ed gentleman in straw hat, blue checked shirt and home-spun, high-water trousers, stands coatless and vestiess on the bridge, which is so near baptism in the creek that no erring be- ing would dare drive over it faster than a walk. W here houses—little, hasty, unpainted houses— used to cluster thick as autumnal leaves,to-day only crumbled foundation walis are left, with now and then a humble dwelling looking up in surprise at you and calling attention to it- self by varying the dismal monotony of boulders all the way up the slope. door- yards are oil wells sti]! sleepily 7 ing, and as the housewive in s deserted village goes about the routine of her duties she ‘hears the lazy creak of the same old machinery that was there when she came home a blushing bride. Standing In the street which skirts the bottom of the village and where the big tawdry school-house makes its neighbors ashamed of its plainness, you may look ‘‘uptown’’ at an angle of 45 deg. and see as many oil ‘‘rigs’’ as you do houses, until all the time- stained and dingy woodwork struggles out of sightamong cresting hemlocks and over the brow ofthe mountain. There is a treachery in men which riches ag- gravate. With one or two cheering excep- tions, the people who have made the money in Rouseville have gone far away to spend it, Who can blame them? The days of biue jeans and black bread are over, and their sons and daughters are dancing at exclusive little ger- mans in big cities. Itisthe men who didn’t get rich in oil who stay in Rouseville and — 4 for a livelihood, and grumble about hard times just the same as they did before nature threw in their path a vast opportunity which their neighbors accepted. And from their humble homes they look out upon what is indeed a melancholy prospect. The rugged scenery, which alone redeems the dismal environs, is indeed the deepest infliction of the curse; for oil is played out and the rocks forbid farming. The bi broad valley through which Oil Creek dows is marred all over its — bosom with biack- ened remnants of long-abandoned ‘‘rigs’’ in one stage or another efdecay. Disjected bits of pumping machinery are here and there. A cow of uncertain breed is munching the grass which grows high around a half-buried wheel. Yonder, everywhere, like scars on Nature’s face, are black, seared holes, with the rude frame on which the derrick stood. There is not asign of life to be seen in the whole valley, except the cattle, the running stream, and the smoke from the boiler-house on the hill across the valley yenturesome fellow named the edict of the you may find one—sa and Waite, for the bol driller ts afraid some harum-scarum member of the Prod ucers’ will guards the Bin. side, where , 5 m, are pumping silently their little uct, the water of the creek being used for power.

Coal-Oll Johnny went by the name of Steel which was the nearest any one coul cometo his paternity.

He never had a paper to sign. If he had, it would have been done with ‘‘his mark,’’ and, as for rec- ognizing himself in pares it was out of the question. But aftert Widow McClintock who had land without measure alon Creek, took him to bring up. a was, asagentieman says who knew him life long, the happiest boy on the creek, singing and whistling about his work, always merry as a bird. Oll was struck and the Widow McClintock’s hundreds of acres went up to a marvelous value. Those were the days when a man could lease 100 acres of land on Oil Creek, organize a company and float its shares in New York for a million. The fever was at its height. ‘‘Oil! On!“ and men who all their lives had struggled in those rocky solitudes and waste places against beg- gary found themselves opulent. Gold poured nto the Widow McOlintock’s tenacious Scotch fingers, andshe boughtan iron safe, which she keptin her bed-room. There was nearly $300,000 in it one morning when the widow got up to build the fire and get breakfast. She pouredon a quart or 80 of crude petroleum and didn’t know it was loaded, and breviter, the widow deceased. Johnny Steel woke one fine morning and they told him he was a Croesus, Then the tempters took him in charge, and a Mephisto Slocum under- took to show him the world and its mysteries. His escapades in all the cities of the Union have gone into history. People can tell you how in Philadelphia he bought a team and coach, had a man to drive him around for an hour, and at the end of it gave him the es- tablishment, They can tell you how in the Quaker City, whileon a spree, he boughta hotel, the proprietor of which refused to har- bor him. It is the talk along the creek that he left the wife ef his bosom in Rouseville, un- wept, unhonored and unsung, while he went on scattering his wild oats and his thou- sands with equal profusion. „There's nothin’ shows how big a fool Johnny Steel was, says the village black- emith, orsome other dignitary, ‘‘so plain as what happened at about the windup of his business. On one of his toota he left at the Duncan House in Oli City—a hotel that’s torn down now—a trunk full of clo’es. W'n he'd been the grand rounds and his money an’ companions had left him, he got hard up fora suito’ clo’es. He happened t’ think o’ that trunk. Sohe went back, an’ twas there yet, an’ in a vest pocket he found a certified check for some sez $10,000,some sez $20,000. Anyhow, you kin see how ignorant he was. He took the paper down to the clerk an’ asked him whatitwas. The money, with interest, was in the bank in New York all right, an’ he got it an’ spent every dollar of it on a big bat.’’ But charitable people will tell you of another side of Jonny Steel's nature; that he never let ahuman being go hungry or unhappy if a thousand or so would do them an when all the glamour of dissipation had worn away and false friends had left him Coal-Oil Johhny came back to Rouseville 41 divested of his gay raiment, donn his jeans and cowhides, got a team and set to work in the old rut to feed and clothe those who were dependent on him. He lived down the scof- fers, grew great callouges on the hands through which fortunes had slipped, learned at night to read and write, and, with the led day by day imself. And he holds a vin tion of himself, pleadin a and ignorance as an excuse for all his follies, A man who sat on a tumble-down derrick, whittling a stick, said yesterday: There's only ene thing that I lay up as a —— Johnny Steel.

GERTRUDE ELLEN WATSON. The memory of Gray’s Ele FACTS ABOUT ASPARAGUS. Where New York Gets Its Supply—Long Island's Great Industry. Special Correspondence of the POST-DISPATCH. New YORK, June 7.—From the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans that delicate es- culent, asparagus, has been esteemed as a luxury, anda walk through the New York markets or u glance atthe menu of any hotel will convince one that it has lost none of its prestige by lapse of time. It is found in al- most every country in many varieties and is so prolific in Russia that the cattle along the steppes subsist on it in lieu of grass. Asparagus was first preduced in perfection on Long Island, near Oyster Bay, in 1850, Isaac Smith, John Frost and one ortwo other farmers being the first to successfully pro- duceit. By 1870 it had become the great in- dustry of the island, the principal variety Hy | the green top, generally the most highly esteemed as well as the most difficult to grow. Since 1870 2 Bay has steadily lost its prestige as the home of the err | „grass, though large quantities are still produced there and several of the largest can- neries find themselves taxed to their utmost froin the beginning of the season in April to the endin July. About 1860 Monmouth County, Conn., began to claim attention on account of its grass product, and some fifteen years ago Col. Conover grew there the first stalk of what Is now the most famous of its species, the *‘*Conoyer colossus.’’ The story of this vari- ety is rather interesting. One morning Col. Conover noticed a ‘‘voluntary’’ shoot in his back yard. It attracted his attention, and in- stead of — it down and taking it around to show his neighbors he builta frame about the stranger to prevent the familiarity of barnyard fowls, loosened up the ground, gave ita handful of manure and made it welcome. It grew and flourished and repaid Col. Conover for his tenderness by giving him the finest variety extant. How the seed ever came there is a mystery, but the most reasonable solution is that a little bird brougbtit. Now fully one- half of the amount brought to this market is from Monmouth County, and the colossus variety comprises haif of that county’s out- put. Between April 25 and July 1 is the grass season. The average receipt during this time is 80,000 to $0,000 bunches of two and one-half a each. Ofthis about one-fourth finds ts way tothe canneries, of which there are several large ones inthe city, while the re- mainder finds its way to the table of the hotel, restaurant, boarding-house, Fifth avenue mansion and East Side tenement. The men who receive the daily shipments here get an average of about 12% cents a bunch, thus handling in this branch of industry between $350,000 and $400,000 in less than three months. Prices so far have been generally good, as the supply has by no means overriden the de- mand this season, the unusually cold weather having a retarding effect. Being a delicate plant, plenty of sunshine and balm is necessary for its existence and growth to absolute perfection, but given these two ele- ments the rapid growth is marvellous, the re- cent few days of warm weather having the ef- fect of almost doubling the product and send- ing the market on a regular boom. The last week of May is generally accounted the great asparagus week, but the continued cold weather had the effect of causing two weeks’ delay. Up to 2 years ago the art of conserving this delicacy in the festive tin can had not been discovered, but so rapid has been the advance in this direction that no one need go without his asparagus and drawn butter sauce if he has the price in his pocket. But the pro- cess of preserving is said to beso expensive— like Keely’s motor, itis a secret only known to the inner few—that it will never beceme a popular dish for winter consumption among the middle classes. A NOTABLE QUARTETTE. Four People Now Living in Kansas Whose Names Are Well Known, Special Correspondence of the Post-DISPATCH. KANSAS CiIr r, June 9.—There are four people in this vicinity who, at certain periods of their careers, were more talked about and better known than any other four people in the town. Two of them are men and two women, the latter having gained celebrity in conse- quence of the acts of their husbands. Mrs. Dunmire, the former wife of Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield,resides here in town. She lives with her hasband and chil- dren atthe corner of Wyoming and Twelfth streets. She looks about the same as when she was in New York, and while her second marriage was a comparatively happy one she is not possessed of an over-abundance of this world’s goods. Mrs. Jesse James, the widow of the well- known outlaw, is also a resident of this place, together with her children. Tbere are those here to-day who will tell you that Jesse was never killed at all and that heis yet alive. This belief has many devotees who are willing to swear to what they say. There are others who will tell you that Jesse wasshot by Ford and that the action of Gov. Crittenden in superinducing the murder set Missouri back ten years in everything. The two men referred to are Walter and James Malley, who wiil be remembered as the heroes in the Jennie-Cramer-Blanche-Doug- lass-Savin-Rock tragedy. The Malley boys, as they were known all over the world at the time of their trial for the murder of the pretty daughter of the New Haven cigar-dealer, are living over at Wichita, Kan. Walter has charge of acattle ranch and James is inter- ested inthe insurance business. The latter bas ‘‘experienced religion,’’ and goes about the country exhorting sinners to be saved. It is said that he has made many converts both to the religious and tothe insurance cause. They have not changed much in appearance since the famous arraignment, and both still cotton to polka-dot neckties as of yore. Of course the readers of the PosT- DISPATCH have heard of Joe Boatright. Joe is the col- ored individual whom the town of Marshal got tired of last week because of his loafing propensities. The town authorities raked up the old vagrant act, and as a consequence Joe was sold into slavery for six monthe to a townie named A. F. Rector, who paid $6.50for Joe’s services for that period. One might suppose that this act would rid Marshai of vagrants, but the opposite has beeen the effect. Colored people by the score, who were born v ts, are hurrying to Marshal from this city. They e thus: Joe Boatright’s ped into de sof’est kin’ of a puddin’.’’ ‘‘How’s that? He'll have work six months for nothing.’’ ‘‘Naw, he wont. Dey am no insecks on Joe.

LOUISANS need have no fear of a lack of entertainment this summer. The Cave opened last week with brilliant success, Schnaider’s Garden is in full swing with a clever company, and this week Kensington Gardens, on the Nar- row Gauge, will be opened with a well- selected company of tried singers in a splendid revival of ‘*Pinafore,’’ the opera to be given ona real- istic representation of a war-ship. 2 6 Two records were beaten at Uhrig’s Cave last week. The receipts of the first night and the receipts of the entire first week were the largest since the resort was opened as an opera garden. And this, too, in the face of some discouraging circumstances. The weather was uncomfortably cool on Monday night; there were indications of storm and actual rain on several days, and the attrac- tions down town during the greater part of the week were immense. The audiences, however, were up to the standard even on the evenings ot the parade and ot the fireworks display. The New York delegation and many other delegates attended and enjoyed the perform- ance immensely. 5 R * The value of the topical song in comic opera was never better illustrated than last week. W. H. Fitzgerald was loaded for the Democrats and had several verses which he threw at them with great effect. The tenor knows how tosing a topical tong 80 as to bring out the points and he scored every time, particularly on the boys from the back- woods, one of whom evidently thought that the verses were made up onthe spot, for he remarked, ‘‘Gosh, that feller’s smart—he rakes up a new one everytime.’’ They called the singer out until he couldn’t‘‘rake up“ any more. 1 — — There is no doubt that Manager Short has a winning card in the com pany. It has made a hit and proved itself beyond question the finest organization ever brought here for sum- mer performances and the equal of the dest comic opera companies in the country. The principal hits were probably made by Misses Bianchi and Ellisand Messrs. Hoff, Fitzgerald, Herbert and Greens felder. Although the minor roles are cleverly taken care of. Miss Bianchi wasa piquant accent, vivacity and a very sweet voice. Miss Ellis makes a capital Ninon, and her interpolated 3 „Kiss Me Good-bye and Go, is sung with charming expression. — ad — In order to give the St. Loulsans a chance ‘*Napnon’’ will be repeated to-night and will continue until Wednesday night, when ‘*Amorita,’’ which is new to St. Louis, but comes with high praise as a de- lightful opera will be kiven. The notable event in the production of the opera will be the appearance of Miss Clarette Vanderbilt, Who is not only a pretty woman, but who is said to have one of the best soprano voices to be found in comic opera. Director Conreid is drilling the forces in his admirable style, and the production will have new costumes and fine stage set- tings. * . Miss Bessie Fairbairn has been thrilling the dudes at Schaider’s Garden in one of the dain- tiest boy costumes imaginable. And she fills it as if she had been melted down and poured in. Miss Patti aud Freda Stone, John G. Bell, Harry Pepper and Fred Dixon do clever work in ‘‘Boccacio.’’ The opera wiil be given for the last time to-night and to-mor- row night Balfe’s beautiful ‘‘Bohemian Girl’’ will be handsomely produced with the best cast that the company can furnish. The opera is afavorite and is too familiarto need de- scription. In the cast willbe John Bell as Count Arnheim, Will Murphy as Florestein, — . as Thaddeus, Fred Dixon as Devil's oof, Chatham as the Captain, Stone as the Queen, Miss Charlotte Le Brun as Buda, and Miss Bessie Fairbairn as Arline. Pre little Daisy Fisher will be the Arline in the first act. The promenade concerts will be given after everv performance to give the audience a chance to enjoy the pleasant resorts in the garden. „ on + For the convention only Pope’s and the Standard were reopened last week, with Prof. Strathmore at the former and ‘‘The Night Owls’’ at the latter. All of the theaters are now closed for the season. Parisian Ballet Girls. From the Chicago Times. Over one hundred and fifteen women and girls belong to the ballet corps of a Paris the- ater.

From a New York Letter. Of the 10,000 actors, male and female, in this country, how many are successful? What is their ordinary experience? Isn’t it a fact thatasalary of $20 a week is a large average, and that a season of forty-five weeks isan unusually long term? Why, right here in New York I ean find you—for mind you in the term actors I include all grades, from the star to the chorusman or the ballet girl—I can find you, without leaving Broadway, ° ple more, who are paid from 50 cents a night to $7 a week, than there are others who run from $10 to $20, and so on. And there are hosts of young women and young men who receive from to $25 a week, playing good responsibie business, too, who know very well that —— twelve weeks of the year they have nothing to do, so that their or $25 a week for forty weeks has to be spread out over fifty-two weeks, because there are just as many weeks in the year to an unemployed person as to the most prosperous person. The third class is composed o ig tee jipperty girls, who have no idea of life yond the pleasure of the moment. The pleasure of the moment includes bread and butter and the necéssaries of life quite as — as the non-es- sentials. They have an idea that it must be great fun to go on the stage. They go to the Ca- sino and look at the pretty girls on Aronson’s boards, in their attractive garb, and think what delightful experiences they doubtless enjoy. They know nothing of the weeks of unpaid rehearsals that those girls have gone through. They know nothing of the cloying unsatisfaction they experience, standing night after night, 12 after night, for two years at a stretch, as the girls in ‘‘Erminie’’ have, seeing other people welcomed, hearing other singers applauded, noticing bouquets thrown to other artists, while they, utterly unem- ployed, save when joining inthe chorus, are unnoticed, unrecognized, except by imperti- nent dudes or rude old men. - — THE WEARING OF TIGHTS. Discomfort and IIIl-Health Attending the Donning of Gleve- Fitting silks. From the Morning Journal. Many a young woman screws up her courage to the point of going to a manager and asking for an engagement on the stage. But when it comes to disrobing and for the first time dis- playing her shape, modesty comes in and all ambition to shine on the stage vanishes. It is not simply the chorus singers of burlesque and comic opera who weartights nowadays, but more or lessevery actress on the stage. Modjeska has to do it in Rosalind, just as much as the humblest member of Mr. Leavitt’s Rentz- Stanle minstrels. And the same may be said of Mary Anderson and ail our other legitimate actresses. Even Ellen Terry had to do it in Viola. Nor does the wearing of ordin- ary dresses—that is to say, stage dresses— reclude the wearing of tights, though doubt- ess the vast increase in the pularity of comic opera of late years has increased the extent of tight- wearing to amarvelous degrée. It was a wonderful innovation in America when the ‘‘Black Crook’’ first came, and that is only twenty years ago. But now probably about fifty women are compelled to their use where there was one then. It may not be generally known that the wearing of tights is a decidedly unhealthy practice—not from the fact that it means simply bare limbs, butso far there has never been any scientific principle applied to wear- ing them properly. They aresimply drawn on as tightly as two or four strong arms can get them and fastened by a leather belt around the waist. This belt has to be drawn at such a tengion that what doctors. call 1 lacing is nothing in comparison wit the torture to which women sub- — themselves in this manner. Articles ave recently been written in reference to the wearing of tights in the circus ring and the bad results that usually follow for the women so employed. But this is nothing compared to the system in vogue in comic opera and bur- lesque theaters. The circus rider has a ten or fifteen minute act to perform and sheis done for the night. The chorus girl dresses at 7:30 and knows no relief until after 11. Louise Montague, who was the handsome Medora in ‘‘Conrad the Corsair,’’ said on Fri- day when she came over from Philadelphia that she did not believe any woman who was not compelied to weartights would doso. It involved a large expenditure of physical force, and she would be quite willin at any time to accept $25 a week less salary if she were not compelled to wear them. Asan expert on the question, she added that there was no doubt whatever that women’s was injured by this wearing of tights. Fortu- nately for herself she had not been com ed to do so for any length of time, but so far as her observation went women became old be- fore their time by means of these modern req- uisites of the stage. She herself had con- stantly refused to appear in boy’s dresses on the stage, but, really, appearing as giris in burlesque amounted to about the same thing. Selecting Opera Singers.

The guests who assemble to witness the ceremony are clad in all tie bravery of fresh summer gowns. And these in the soft bright colors now in favor, together with bonnets and hats abloom with all the fowers of the forest, the eld and the garden compose a color-picture that wholly transforms and glorifies the dim somberness of the sanctuary. One perceives with sensations ot pleasure the general effect of all this radiant richness of hue, but without dwelling upon it. Par- Moular attention is invariably directed to and lingers with the bride—standing like a snowy lily, tall and pale, and shining amid a luxuri- ance of gay hollyhocks. That a bride is lovely, goes without saying, whatever the fashion of her grown. The stuff chosen for these costumes is always pretty enough to be admired if one only saw it in a tumbled mass on ashop counter, or lying in a confused heap on the white bearskin rug, and marguerite-sprinkled blue carpet of the girl’s pretty room (where sheis dressing for the last time). But when a pretty bride gets into it, and its shimmering folds, or fleecy whiteness, curl about her dainty outlines; when there is an atmosphere of orange blos- soms; a mist of lace and a halo of romance added, with these accessories it becomes enchanting. THESE JUN BRIDES have for the most part chosen to wear gowns of some filmy stuff crepe lisse, with a delicate tracery of silk line embroidery intricate as frost work; misty silk muslin; snowy gauze, lace, and, quite often, tulle. Such gowns all have an under- dress or slip of faille or satin, which is gored to hang plainly under wreaths ofthe folds of diapanous stuf!’ which veils it. One pretty dress of gauze worn over satin had the skirt laid in tiny tucks from the waist to the knee. Below, the fullness hung loosely to the foot, where it was edged with a very full rose- quilled ruche of the gauze, that had tiny clusters of orange buds caught between the Over alow, uare-necked sleeveless ice of satin was a high full — waist gathered into a collar or band of buds and Small, dark, shining leaves about the throat. Puffed gauze sieeves met the long suede gioves atthe elbow. The square train swept in straight folds from the small rope of flow- ers encircling the waist, like a girdle, and falling in long ends on the left side. Straight widths of the gauze covered the train, and overall was a cioud of tulle veil. A bride made of the silk or satin employed in ress, and the finest of slik hose, often with lace medallions wrought in on the instep and front of the ankle.

A long veil of exquisite real lace, which ‘hangs over the entire length of the train, will be worn. This ry by of gown is called the , and is so elegant in its simplic- fold and outline that i no doubt find many imnitators. Next to the bride in respect of interest come the bridemaids, and very che rming figures for the eye to rest upon are dainty damosels at these June he ik They wear short round skirts, with full, wide sashes, full gathered waists and big hats, little bonnets or velis, whichever they choose. The palest colors ure in greater favor than white for bridemaids’ wear.

MARION HARLAND ON THE EDUCATION OF OUR DAUGHTERS. Girls Who Are Disagreeable at Home—Moth- ers Who Crowd Their Girls Inte Society and Mature Pleasures at Undue Ages— Young Women Who Are Queens Before They Have Been Princesses — Young Women Who Mature Too Quickly. [Written for the Post-DIsPaTcH.] OUBTLESS,’’ to trav- esty the worthy ecclesi- 8 lastio's pronunciamento Sanent the strawberry, God could have made asweeter creature than a pure, lovely, sensible girl, but he never did?’’ But it is only in the New Worid that, for the usually brief period of her sojourn and maiden y meditation in the Mes parental home, she is apothéosized. „When the girls come home from school for good,’’ is the date at which efflorescence be- gins in the homestead, when walls and win- dows and floor and furniture put on their beautiful garments, and the doors are flung hospitably wide for friends and admirers. Papilia enters her kingdom with the feeling that it is a special creation for her, and her only, and those who gave her life are chiefest among her courtiers. Life is never so fresh and fair to any other of the Father's children as to her at her debut. She seems to herself to begin then really to live. Provided—her wings have not been unfolded before they were grown. The proviso is grave and broad, and merits more than a passing remark. As prema- turely ripened fruit, as blossoms dwarfed in the forcing, as all kinds of manufacture turned out in haste from crude materials, so is the girl (not Ours this time, thank Heaven!) who at 15 assumes the place and prerogatives of 20. HOW WELL WE KNOW HER through much seeing! Knowing, pert, self- satisfied, slow to hear and quick to utter her whole mind, she sets our teeth on edge after the manner of early summer apples, tough with thin, uncured juices. She is generally the eldest or the only girlinthe home. Moth- ers are unfortunately prone to hasten the ma- turity ot such in the desire to have a young lady inthe house. Back of this superficial and childish desire to set the pretty toy in place lies the natural and touching longing to relieve her Own life, impatience to falsify the pessimistic sigh: There is in Life but one short Spring, And it can ne'er return. The mother would see herself take root again and blossom anew ln autumn. This re- rod uetion of our individual girlhood, with ts fancies, hopes, loves, and raptures, is one of the sweetest of the peculiar joys of mothér- hood. It is not a figure of poetic speech that we are ‘‘courted in our girls. Acool head is required for the patient waiting until time brings the consummation to us of the beau- tiful dream, and a strong hand must hold back the eager, ignorant child who would overleap the boundary set by nature and reason. Miss Pert keeps gers people’s hours and looks older each day fur the loss of beauty sleep. She reads grown people's books, has her say—and a liberal share of it—in grown people’s talk, snubs her mother un- sparingly, schools her father, hectors the ounger children, and orders the servants; s delighted when she is mistaken for nine- teen, especially affects the society of men, and in nothing else is so successful as in making herself the most disagreeable speci- men of animated nature that ever invited classification from a modern Goldsmith or Cuvier, SHE HAS HER BEAUX otherwise treated asa growin she is 18—is ready to take her woman in the society sel by her moth and entered under her mother’s chaperonage, Miss Pert is blase, discontented, and already beginning to go off..

But it is easy to see why she and others should hold the opinion. OUR GIRL Is MADE QUEEN when she should be only a princess and a sub- ject. Her dominion is violence done to nat- ural laws. Her mother may be inferior to her in intellect and education, The disparity may be so far on the wrong side thatthe daughter blushes to present her parent to her oice friends. e case is by no means uncommon. We rise fast in America, each generation re- cording a higher water mark than the pre- ceding, and old-fashioned people soon get out oftheir depth.

Gentle de ence to parental authority imparts a charm OUR GIRL’S DEPORTMENT, whieh is too often wanting from that of most of our fair countrywomen. 80 pretty and en- gaging is this touch of velvety softness to character and behavior that one might sup- pose shrewd Miss Pert would cultivate a semblance of it as a means of captivation. My dear mother, I heard an accom- plished young lady say to her excellent and by no means unrefined parent, ‘‘I wish you would not talk of what you do not upder- stand. There is nota word of truth in what you have been saying!’’ I was not surprised, some weeks thereafter. to hear the dear old lady say 3 as if stating an indubitable truth: It would be well if mothers were killed off by law and got out of the way as soon as their children are rown and settled inlife. There is nothing left orthem to do in the world after that. I think’’—with a gleam of bitter humor—‘ that the insects have the best of it who die directly after depositing their eggs where they will be taken care of without the parents’ help.’’ Our Girl cannot afford, for her own sake, to go without the elevating influences of the interim passed under the mother’s wing when book-lessons are over and the prince is still but an ideal. Now or never is the season when she can repay in Kind the wealth of loving kindness she has recetyed from father and mother since she drew her first breath; return it in such grateful lav- ishness that they will account it recompense beyond desert, full measure pr er, shaken down and running over, given into bosoms a-thrill with renewal of ° THE HELPING HAND : she lays to the daily burdens that to oppress the mother’s shoulders is ing trained for skilful work in her own home; even the forbearance she is called upon to exercise when physical infirmity makes the gentie mother peevish and the strong father unreasonable prepares her to control tem and tongue in the day when responsibilities as yet unknown shall harass her. The home is to her the Lord’s own school for the right discipline of character. The gra- dations prescribed by nature are safe and easy. Childhood should have its before it is develo into girlhood, not be displaced by it. omanhood and matron- hood succeed in the Father’s gracious time, with breathing spaces between that make life full and fair.

Of course, some pert walier will at once aver that the game of ; ball is essentially American and modern jin name and development, if not in origin. That is snallow delusion. The distinctive ‘features and implements of the game are as old as the pyramids. Probably Shem, Ham and Japhet played with balland club or bat “while Noah was building the ark. The inven- tion of ‘‘rounders,’’ from which base ball was evolved, is lost in the dim twilight of an- tiquity. As everybody knows, Mr. Donnelly’s cipher stands or falls on the irregular paging of the folio edition of 1623. If it shall be shown that this irregularity of paging was due, as some Scholars maintain, tothe distritention of the work for production among four separate printing offices, then obviously the Minnesota sage must have been and still be coddling a wild phantasy. Thecipherin ‘‘Lear,’’ how- ever, hangs on no such slender theread as the eccentricity or caprice of paging. It is woven substantially into the fabric of the great drama, and when the clue is once fairly grasped, even typographical errors and alterations do not materially obscure or affect it. One evening a week ago I picked up a cheap, unpretentious edition of the so-called *‘Shakespeare’s Plays“ published perhaps twenty years ago (there is no date on the title ), by John Dicks, Strand, London, and roceeded to refresh my recollection of Lear's grievous woes and the diabolical in- gratitude of his daughters. I had not read three pages of the heart-wrenching narrative when my eye and ear were alike arrested by the iteration of the word“ base“ in Edmond’s brief soliloquy, act1, scene 2. Here, within the compass of five lines, we meet the word **base’’ five times, and ten lines further on it oc- urs again. This fellow (thought I, through a sudden and involuntary association of ideas) is what an end-man in a minstrel show would stigmatize as a base Dawler. Back from this stale paleozoic pun there flashed upon me Mr. Donnelly's declara- tion as to how his interest was first aroused by the peculiar use and emphasis of such words as Bacon, St. Alban’s,’’ Shake“ and 8 mn Henry IV.“ Could this repeti- = of base“! mask any occult meaning? hy dwell upon itin this manner, when syn- onyms were so abundant and the author's vo- ulary so copious? ‘With attention newly whetted I read on, and was accosted in scene 4 by this scrap of dialogue: — ety not be struck, my lord. nt—Nor ‘*tripped’ ’neither;you base“ foot-Lail player. A dozen lines below, in the. speech of the ’s Fool we find ‘‘as the wind sits, ‘thou’ lt catch.’’’ Again In the same scene: (Striking his head.) And thy dea JUDGMENT, OUT!—Go, go! The obvious suggestiveness of these phrases umused me. Here, thought I, is lure enough to set some base ball enthusiast delving and rummaging for archaic lore in this great treas- ure-house of poetry and passion. But when I read along, my sensations were transmitted to wonderment, as 1 noted the frequent recur- rence of the words ‘‘foul,’’ ‘‘out’’ and *‘strike,’’ and, seizing my pencil, I under- lined the following significant expressions: Must play.

My first impulse was to instantly procure a faithful reproduc- tion of the 8 folio edition and carefully scrutinize it. But the thought here urged itseif methat either Francis con or any er autnor of a cipher would be too sagacious to put all his eggs in one basket, as it were—to rely entirely on a single form of f togram, especially if that hinged primarily on seeming biunder of a misplaced or con- notation. The taking of such remote Shane did not seem consistent with the pos- rece of a prudent or prescient mind. as it not far more probable that the crypto- , if there were one, would be biended and barmoniously in the work itself, ve of external accidents of paging or ?

Starting out without any definite plan, I se- lected the column containing Edmond’s solil- oquy wherein the word ‘‘base’’ is found six times. It is the second column of page 441. pce downwards, I noted that base“ appears for the first time in the forty- second line, then four times in the forty-sixth line and once in the fifty-sixth line. The sum of 42x46x56 is 144, or 16 times 9. Counting from base“ in the forty-second line to ‘‘base’’ in the fifty-sixth line we find exactly 144 words. Could this again be a mere coincidence or was it not pu ely designed and contrived to ar- rest the attention of some close and curious student? ' Repressing, with an effort, my excitement, I now proceeded to make various tentative enumerations and calculations, and tried, in a necessarily capricious and arbitrary way, the various combinations cured. By luck more than by desert I hit upon the master-key, which for ob- vious reasons I may not at present divulge. hen my researches are complete they will be presented in book form, as Mr. Donnelly has presented his. Here and there I encoun- ter a slight hiatus which disturbs the contin- uity of the narrative or somewhat mars its sense, but Iam satisfied that these slight gaps will be easily filled when*I consultthe text as found in the great folio edition. In reality the wea a or obstructions are few and com- paratively immaterial. Ido not, I think, seriously hazard my rights or expectations when I reveal the fact that the interpretation ofthe riddle hidden in ‘‘Kinz Lear’’ is largely governed by the number of words in each line of the italicized verses. For instance: Fools had ne er less grace in a year; For wise men are grown foppish; And know not how their wits to wear, Their manners are so apish. This is not brilliant rhyming, but the num- ber of words in each line—8, 6, 8, * 1 a very important part in deciphering the hidden meaning. So, too, Edgar’s lunatic stave: Saint Withold footed thrice the wold; (6) He met the nightmare, and her nine-fold; 3 (4) (6) Hal and the resourcefal Falstaff? Such was the possession of my brain. Bid her alight, And her troth plight, And aroint thee, witch, aroint thee! —produces a sequence replete with signifi- cance and light when usedin conjunction with the prime factors. In applying Mr. Don- nelly’s cipher every word has to be sought out through complex and laborious mathe- matical processes which would almost mad- den the inventor of logarithms. Notso here, the beauty of the ‘‘Lear’’ cipher is in its won- derful simplicity and uniformity. When once it is disclosed, any schoolboy can readily test its validity and reliability, and it absolutely avoids the capriciousness to which the Minne- sotan’s discovery has beenexposed. Notalone single words, but short sentences and occa- sionally two or more lines of Lear“ are lifted and utilized in bulk by the cipher. I stated at the outset that this splendid tragedy embalms the story ofa game of bose ball. Nobody can be more astounded at the disclosure than was I when the narrative be- gan to unfold itself coherently to my .vision and mind, I pinched imyself and walked around in order to be assured that I was not dreaming. That the disputed authorship of the plavs, that signal affairs of State should be committed tothe keeping of a cryptogram is credible and plausible enough. That the same pains should be taken with the record of an out-door sport—a sport which is commonly believed to have only recently acquired the name of base ball—seems both ridiculous and incredible. Yet who could be audacious enough to fabricate so palpable an improba- bility? What, on tbe other band, know we of the lost arts of the Egyptians? Life and liter- ature alike are repiete with mysteries and puzzles. ae appears to have been too large or too small forthe protean intellect of the au- thor ot the Novum Organum' to seize, dis- sectand rehabilitate. Between the lines in ‘*Lear’’ he tells how he was heartsick of bear- baiting and the other cruel outdoor sports of his time in Britain, which debauched and dis- ordered knights and squires as well as the rabble. He resolved to devise better pastime for them, and therefore himself drew up the rules for the game of base-and-ball afoot, changing the name of ‘‘rounders’’ because he shifted the arena from irregular quadrangle to diamond, andthe latterhe terms ‘‘the most recious square, (Act 1, scene 1). The ueen looked with favor on the project and promised to attend the initial exhibition, which took place within the spacious court- yard of a palace not far from London. The contending nines were composed of athletic nobles, with picked knights ‘‘in reserva- tion.’’ There was space even for ‘‘the rab- ble’’ within the gate. Unfortunately, the game ended in a furious melee, several of the participants being battered and ‘‘knocked out, and Her Majesty being so incensed thereat thet she set her 5 ban and roval foot upon the sport and sunk it at once into the oblivion of innocuous desuetude. Such isaconcise synopsis of the long tale 9 wound through the warp and woof of ‘‘King Lear.’’ he names of the dramatis persons in the printed text are, of course, fictitious, but the identity of the play- ers is skilifully revealed inthecipher. The progress of the game is minutely and elab- orately described. Although the word ‘‘bat’’ occurs in the passage, ‘‘Ise try whether your costard or my ‘bat’ be the hardest,’’ still ‘‘cue’’ was the name given by Bacon to the implement which in our day is called a bat. Instead of a single umpire there were two ‘*judges’’ and a ‘‘conductor.’’ If Bacon were narrating the collision of two hostile armies he could not more carefully register every de- tall ot the conflict. He tells with what earn- est eloquence he did beseech the approval of Her Majesty, commending the sportas help- ful to ‘‘eyesight, space, liberty, heaith,’’ and fit for ‘‘champaigns rich’d and wide-skirted meads; how he dwelt on the curves and crosses of the bal as opera- tions of the sobs,’’ and _ allude to the spherical predominance;’’ how the Queen consented to ‘‘divest us both ofrule, interest of territory, cares of state’’ for the occasion, and behoid the experiment. Next he pictures the vast court where the essay was made and the gallantentrance of the nines at the first flourish ofthe trumpet, while the Queen, attended by two Duchesses, took her osition on a baicony overlooking the court. undreds of lords and ladies shake all cares and business’’ to attend. Thejudgeof one side remarked that he would ‘‘prefera better place.’’ His colleague responded, ‘‘Methinks the ground is even.’’ ‘‘You are much de- ocived,’’ replied the other, ‘‘saucily.’’ Despite these untoward preparations the sport atlength began with ‘‘nimble throws and blows. Both players and specta- tors grew excited as the contest progressed and the strife grew warmer. Of course the rules differed in many particulars from those familiar to admirers of our American game, yet this similarity in the main is startling, and nothing could more impressively show the marvellous reach of Bacon’s intellect than do these conditions, wherein he an- ticipates by nearly three centuries the salient reforms by which our national game has been raised to its present high standard and popu- larity. Again and again he declares in varied phrase the same belief that— Healthy sport doth medicine the realm By ruinous disorders cursed and scourged. The account of the progress of the game— ‘*sport’’ or ‘‘contention’’ he qalied it—isin- tensely interesting. The ball is ‘‘thrown’’ or delivered, not pitched, but heemploys the term strike“ as we do. The score“ was kept by points, not runs, and all nine members of a ‘‘side’’ or ‘‘party had to be put out before the inning was over. The ball was evidently of anelastic and bouncing quality, for it was once ‘‘struck in the casement,’’ and was ‘‘violently cracked between! the pillars of the balcony where Elizabeth sat, and once **twinkled like the ¢dragon’s tall, and did in the penduloug air hang fated’’ (to be caught). One lusty Earl was invoked by his admirers to ‘‘drive her toward the Dover,’’ and he did wallop the sphere so savagely that it came near demolishing my Lord Bacon him- self, who writes that the nimble stroke of uic cross lightning curled my hair. (Page 454. 2d col., 85th line; and page „ ist. cool., Sth line.) The com- ments of the Queen and her attendant Duch- esses (Cordelia, Goneril and Regan) are cop ously reproduced. It was Her Majesty's self who said, apropos of a fat base-runner: ‘‘Whena man is over lusty in the legs, then he wears ooden nether stocks;’’ and of an ungainl eliyerer she playfully declared: e will shrow his head at them’’ (p. 440, Ist col., line 10, apd 447, lat col., line 4). These are examples of the fact to which I have already adve , that whole sentences are occasion- ally lifted by the Lear“ cipher. Angry as Bacon is at the unpleasant issue of the game, atic sense of incongruities and con- trasts is still too acute to miss mention ot the ea and toothiess aristocrat in the balcony who brags that he has seen the day when with the flat of ‘‘my good biting fauichion I would have made em skip.

Warning them against the ablest pitcher (‘‘thrower’’) of their adversaries he said: ‘‘I pray you have a continent forbearance until the speed of his rage goes slower. If you violently proceed against him, mistaking his purpose, it would make a great gap. He speaks of one ‘‘sacri- de“ as an ‘‘admirable evasion, followed by a ‘‘divine thrusting on;’’ and when the judge asked, ‘‘Do you smell a fault?’’ the great jur- ist responded: ‘‘Icannot wish the fault un- done, the issue of it being so proper.’’ In the third inning aterrific stroke by the Queen’s favorite drove the bail beyond the court into aclump of rank fumiter, furrow weeds, netties, cuckoo-flowers’’ (p. 451, ist col. 12th line), where it was lost, and the bats- man insisted on making three complete runs, whereat dispute aud quarrel arose. So heated were the rivals that they abruptly came to blows until the Queen ‘‘was forced to cry out’* and the guard was summoned, notwith- standing Bacon’s appeal: Break! I pr’ythee, break!’’ The piteous torturing of Gloster in the tragedy conceals within it the fact that Elizabeth’s favorite courtier received two black eyes from an-irate antagonist who —with hie strong arms He fastened on my neck, and bellow’d out As he'd burst Heaven. When order was restored the Queen's wrath was terrible to behold, for she had ample rea- son to be offended. Said she: —To plainness honour’s bound When Majesty stoops to folly. Out of my sight! In best consideration check this hideous rashness, Which would set unnaturalness between the child and parent, Of ancient amities make dissolution, and Breed endless menaces to this our realm. Now, N my life all fools are babes again! Away! by Jupiter, this shall not be revoked! The vast assemblage speedily dispersed, and by an orderof Council the sport devised by Bacon was thenceforth prohibited—a penalty which, the author says, fitly batances Her Majesty’s order (in the forty-first year of her reign) prohibiting the printing of plays, ex- cept allowed by persons in authority. run no risk of prematurely disclosing my cipher when I give tothe public the opening lines of the secret narrative contained in“ King Lear. They run as follows: Striving to better, oft we mar what's well. Good sport, though base, that begot baseness, thou art now an O without afigure.* The best and seundest of bis time hath been but rash. You see how full of changes his age is: the observation we hath made of it hath not been little; we always loved Her Majesty the most; and with what poor judgment and ingratitude she hath now cast us off, appears too grossly. Itis no vicious blot, murder or foulness, no unchaste action or dishonored step, that hath deprived meo her grace and favor. One of the odd things discovered in my re- searches is that both the play and the enfolded narrative end with the same words, 80 long!’’ which are sometimes used as an Amer- ican form of farewell salutation. Can it be that for this familiar greeting, as for so many other tricks and figures of speech, we are in- debted to the colossal brain which gave fort- une and fame to the Stratford deer-stealer? In a short time lexpect to place before the public a complete and harmonious transcript of the story so wonderfully molded intothe tragedy of Lear.“ Meantime I think I have revealed enough to buttress the inspired theory of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly and to win new respect for our national game. JAMES J. CLANCY. [This is a significant expression. An O without a figure or numeral isacipher.

Barnum’s re-election to place at the head of the National Democratic Committee depended on the good will of the citizens of St. Louis whose duties in the per- fection. of the convention arrangements brought them in contact with him, he would never get there. Mr. Barnum is an old man, independently rich and, in the opinion of St. Leuisans, very whimsical and inconsiderate. For his per- sonal comfort more money was spent than for the care of any other member of the commit- tee. Mr. Barnum’s insistance on his whimsi- cal notions handicapped the Citizen’s Com- mittee at several points. In the first place he caused them to curtail the space alotted tothe press. His theory was that the sight of the press seats in front of the speakers was disconcerting. Henextobjected to the opening of the hall on Ssturday even- ing forthe inspection of the citizensof St. Louis. Heinsisted on this with as much de- termination to the overawed citizens. Maj. Rainwater, who had shown Chairman Bar- num’s wishes great regard, as determinedly told him finally that the hall was still in charge of the citizens, who had decided on the Satur- da evening opening. At the dis- tribution of tickets he not gs! fixed the limit of 800 for St. Louis, but also sug- gested the manner of distributing them. « *« On yesterday it was learned that the National Democratic Committee had several hundred tickets, which had never been distributed. This feature of the convention was not very well managed, and caused considerable dis- satisfaction. Though unwilling to establisha monetary scale for the distribution of the tickets, the committee could not devise any other equitable and practical method and the result was that many of the smaller con- tributors were forced to buy tickets from strangers, who sold them on the streets. One of these ticket peddlers wore the badge and outfit of a visiting club and sold tickets in front of the Southern Hotel. * * * Thousands who saw two gentlemen, one sit- ting on either side of Official Stenographer Dickinson at the National Convention, appar- ently only rendering such little services as stamping resolutions, handing up documents, etc., never asked who they were. The gentle- men were Messrs. J. . Sad FF. . Canda, Treasurer of the National Com- mittee and his brother. Both gentlemen are quiet and unobstrusive, and probably at- tracted less attention during the week than any other two men in the convention, though they did more than any four to guide it smoothly along. They followed every motion, keeping an accurate record ot every word, and when either the Temporary or Permanent Chairman became involved they but quickly extracted him an convention from the entanglement. They smoothed over every roughness that ap“ peared and to their quiet execution the gen- eral orderliness of the convention was largely due. Both gentlemen are expert architects, and to their hands the safety of the thousands who crowded into the hall last week was en- trusted. They spent ten days examining the building after it was prepared and decided that the north nave ofthe Exposition Build- ing would stand four times the weight of the mass of human beings that could be crowded, in an upright position, within its walls. * * oe The National Democratic Convention in this city during the past week absorbed all atten- tion and caused a lull in the State campaign. As the primaries are now extending to the counties in which none of the candidates have any particular strength the contests for dele- gations will be more interesting. The special train conveying the newspaper correspondents from this city to Washington left on Thursday night. Mayor Francis had intended giving a supper to the visiting scribes, but they decided to return to their work at Washington without accepting the hospitality. 2 Since the adjournment of the Missouri Re- ublican Convention the delegates to Chicago have done considerable letter writing, and it is now fairly certain that ema A I, Filley will be elected to the National Republican Committee, vice Van Horn, who now repre- sents Missouri in the Convention. 7 * 1 Several of the city Democratic Centrai Com- mitteemen who have just entered litics are condemning the National Committee for its failure to * tickets to the convention. The local 4 thought that a fellow feelin should exist between the two committees, an that whatever might betide the general public in the scramble for tickets they would be able to say, ‘‘we’re all right. Since the conven- tion 8 ey have learned that no such fellowship of feeling exists.
