NRW YORK, May 11.—A Toronto spécial to an evening paper says: Dr. P. H. Cronin is here. Yesterday your correspondent met him on the street in company with a short, stout man. Cronin was pointed out by Detective McCulloch of Buffalo, who is over here on business and knew the doctor well. Your correspondent spoke to him and asked him when he came to the city. My dear sir, you are mistaken, Iam not Dr. Cronin. Twoorthree men have already spoken to me in the same way. Tam very sorry, doctor, but I only wish to say afew wordsto you, and unless you con- sent, I shailbe under the necessity of calling a policeman.’’ Speak to bim, I guess he’s a reporter, suggested his companion, whom your com respondent then remembered having scen in the city a few days ago at a hotel kegt bya — —ͤ—ũ— a — — PS At] 0% * Dr. P.

CuHIcaGo, III., May 11.—The police are en- gaged in dragging the pondin Lincoln Park for the mutilated remains of the woman with whose death the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Cronin is supposed to be connected, but so far the search has been fruitiess. Investi- gation this morning develops the fact that the girl, Alice Villavose, whose body it was sup- posed wasthe one taken from the barn and —— to Lincoln Park in a trunk, is still ve. THE MEN LOCATED. Chief Detective Horace Elliott says he has located the men, King and Fairburn, who went with Woodruff in the wagen which car- ried the woman’s remains to Lincoin Park, and that be can put his hands on them when- ever he wants them. Another Version of the Trunk Story, The case of Dr. P. H. Cronin, formerly of St. Louis, more recentiy of Chicago, and at present at large, is still occupying the at- tention of the Chicago police, and a matter of interest to the members of certain organi- zations —— have been referred to by Cro- be was widely known in this city durisg his bis residence here, the mystery which is now — cleared a ra — is of particu- nterest to t.

He remembere the apparently dejected § passenger and remi ..sbered that in addition to the medi- cine or instrument chest, which he carried on his lap, he HAD A BUNDLE. After accidentally rubbing up against this bundle he found cotton lint on his clothing and inferred from this fact that the bundle was cotton batting. These developments did away with the theory that the doctor had been kidnaped by the decoy who called for him earlier in the evening —— Lae he alleged, one of Mr. P. O. Sullivan’ sic The police have in — 1 been fol- lowing up the clew given in the description of the wagon which contained the trunk on the theory that this was more tangible evidence of the commission of some dark crime than the Cronin mystery. A iivery man some days ago telephoned the police that a man was 8 to sell a rig at a very low price at a barn. The man was taken into custody and gave his name as John Brown. e seemed much excited and finally told a story which implicates him to some extent in a terrible crime, which, ac- cording to the present appearance of the case, explains away the 1 2 and continued absence of Dr. P. ronin. The man informed the police that his name was Frank G. Woodruff, and that he was em- pores at a livery barn ‘on Webster avenue. e said that on last Sunday morning at a very early hour he met Dr. Cronin, William King and Dick Fairburn at a barn in rear of No. 528 North State street. A trunk was placed inthe wagon and on the order of King and Fairburn ne drove to Lincoln Park, the twomen accompanying him. Dr. Cronin, he states, remained at the barn. He Claims that at Lincoln Park THE WOMAN'S BODY was taken from the trunk by the men and that he was instructed to throw the trunk away on the Evanston road. He states that he obeyed his instructions. His story was to some extent corroborated by the police. He was taken to the Evanston road and pointed out to Police Capt. O’Donnell the exact spot where the trunk wasfound. He stated that he had seen the man King since the occurrence and in- ferred from his conversation that the woman had died from the effects of malpractice. His description of the doctor, whom he met at the barn, tallies with that of Dr. Cronin.* Yesterday an- other startling piece of information was re- ceived in thecase. C. T. Long of 27 Huron street, Chicago, isnow in Toronto, Canada. Yesterday he notified friends in Chicago that he had met Dr. Cronin on the street in To- ronto. He has known him well for three years. On accosting him the doctor at first responded to his salutation, moment later pretended that had the advantage of him. He attem move off but Mr. Long insisted on tal him. Cronin threatened to call the police, He had some man with him who was not known to Mr. Long. The doctor insinuated that he had 22 uncovered the crimes of some prominent Irish-Americans and had thereby forfeited his life. He spoke of his enemies, including in the list Dr. Thomas O’Reilly of St. Louis. Mr. Long endeavored to secure for Dr. Cronin some better explanation of his absence but failed. Cronin and his friend left him, taking acarriage. Laterhe metthe two menanda young woman, whom he didnot recognize. They boarded atrain going to Hamilton but refused to tell Long where they proposed to stop. “<p M f C t „„ A Charming 7 utua onsent, story by Flor- ence Warden, author of The House on the Marsh.’’ Illustrated. See SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH. CAUGHT IN A STABLE,” The Colored Burglar Who Cleverly Outwit- ted Deputy Sheriff Kirby. John Greathouse, the escaped negro burg- lar is again in custody and Detectives Badger and Flynn will receive the reward of $100 of- fered by Sheriff Pohliman. Greathouse wes taken this morning. The Sheriff has hardly slept since the negro outwitted Deputy Kirby, and the detectives soon located their man at a stable in the _ vicinity of Thirty-sixth and Washington avenue. The place was searched this morning, and Greathouse was found concealedin a second story loft. Hetakes his capture very coolly, and chuckles when he tells of his escape. He says: ‘‘It was through no fault of either Kir- by or Jeff StortsthatI got away. Storte had gone upstairs with the woman to find the money I said 1 had hid in the house, aud Kirby was watching me close. But I made a jump for it, closed the door in the nich of time, ran through the kitchen door, locking it atter me and then climbed the rear fence and ran up a back street. The negro says he saw Storts go up-stairs, but he admits the attorney did not run down when Kirby was hammering at the door, outside of which Greathouse had locked bim. Kirby in- sists that Storts had not more than gotten to the foot of the stairs when the negro made the jump. Sheriff Pohiman is convinced that the negro lied when he made this astate- ment as by his own statement the door was almost closed at the time and the stairs were not in his line of vision. Gratehouse was yesterday indicted by the Grand-jury for burglary, but was not on hand to be arraigned with the others this morning. Sheriff Pohiman says he Is a cute one. THE GAS SALE, Certificates Being Exchanged for Receipts at the Bank of Commerce. This morning postal cards were received by the holders of gas trust certificates, signed by President W. H. Thompson, notifying them that they would deposit their certifi cates at the Bank of Commerce, and obtain receipts in return. In response to this notifivation a large number of certificate bolders deposited their stock and took their certificates. In reply to a question, Mr. Thompson said: ‘‘We have been receiving certificates all day. Just bow many have come in I cannot say, and it makes little difference, as the deal was closed some- time ago. There will be no difficulty what- ever in getting the certificates in. A large number will be deposited in New York. T — first 7 Ie wot will be made on May 15, amount- ing to 10 percent. Nearly all of the holders of receipts will exchange them for bonds and preferred stock. THE ELEVATOR CONSOLIDATION, It Will be Effected, But the Advance wi Not Be in It. The status of the negotiations between the elevators has been definitely determined now and it may be stated with certainty that the elevator consolidation will surely take place, but the Advance elevator will not be in it. Neither the stockholders nor the resident of the Advance, Mr. Uharies saacs, were satisfied with its ratin conferences at which they endeavo to tle differences failed to accomplish that pur pose. The Advance is rated too low to suit the stockboiders and the consolidated ors wiil not raise the rating.

PITTSBURG, Pa., May 11.—Reports of damage by last night’s terrible storm are coming in to-day from all parts of Allegheny County, and in fact from nearly every place in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsyivania. The loss, however, cannot be approximated at this time. Farms were washed out, houses, fences and trees along the banks of streams were swept away and landslides occurred on nearly every road leading out of. Pittsburg. So far but two deaths from drowning have been reported. Two children of Conrad Schaefer, aged 3 and 7 years, respectively, of Spring Garden- borough, nortn of Allezheny, were swept away by the flood and Mr. and Mrs. Schaefer narrowly escaped from meeting the same fate. Their house is located near the bank of Bntch- er's Run, the scene of the frightful disaster of fifteen years ago, when 200 persons were swept to death by the angry waters. When the banks overflowed last night the Schaefer house was moved from its foundation and the family left the house and took shelter under some trees. In running out of the house the children, both girls, were caught by the cur- rent and carried away. Mrs. Schaefer became so frantic on seeing her children inthe run that she got intothe watertoo and was al- most drowned. The bodiesof the children were recovered. A physician was called to see Mrs. Schaefer, who was removed to a neighbor's house, but it is not thought she will recover. Two other children in the family were saved. One boy 7 years of age, who had his leg broken two weeks ago in Walker’s factory, was compelled to remain in the house. Another boy escaped from the house and was saved by holding toa fence. WRECKS IN THE STREETS. This morning East street and Madison avenue, in the Butcher’s Run district, are complete wrecks while the numberless cross streets are completely filled with debris; cars are lying on the tracks unable to be moved and,completely hemmed in dy planking and rubbish. The water in the run rose so fast that the residents feared arepetition of the disaster of 1874, and as soon as the first shock passed away and the terrified inhabitants caught their breath they immediately made preparations to vacate the remises. Every effort was made to save the urniture on the first floors, while the water washed and splashed in the cellar below. Rivulets,. brown colored and dirty, dashed into the cellar windows in miniature torrents. A large number of butchers were heavily damaged. Their slaughter houses were ruined, while their stocks of meat were destroyed. Louis Zoller’s case was but one of many. At at early vour this morn- ing, he secured all the hands be could get, floated his wagons before the door and speed - lily filled them up. Shoeless and hatless and their pants rolled up above their knees, the perspiring workmen plodded and waded through the slime almost knee deep and transferred the property. The same tale of terror and destruction comes from Saw Mill Run, Woods Run, Obar- tier’s Valley, the West End, South Side, Pleasant Valley and Lawrenceville districts. The lightning played havoc all night long. A stable belonging to Fred Hampke on Mount Oliver was struck and consumed. Fotrteen horses and two cows Were cremated. The loss is $10,000. A South Side street-car caughta bolt. ‘The passengers were electrified, but not seriously hurt. Telegraph and telephone wires were deranged throughout a large sec- tion of ceuntry. The Postal wires wee all down east and the Western Union was badly crippled. This morning trains were late on all the roads, but all were open and running except the Washington branch ofthe Baiti- more & Ohio. The rainfall was three inches tn three hours and the Ohio River rose three feet in as many bours. BODIES RECOVERED. The bodies of two men, victims of last night’s flood, were found this mording, max ing four deaths sofar reported. The remains of John Dougherty were discovered at the mouth of a culvert at Wood’s Kun, wedged in between some logs. He left his bome shortly after midnight to see how high the water was, and Ee bad goné but a short dis- tance along the banks of the swollen stream when he was struck and carried away by a bridge which had been swept from its foundation. He was 52 years of age and mar- ried. The second fatality occurred in the Butcher’s Run district. John Cochener went down isthe cellarof his house during the storm and di@not return. When the waters subsided his body was found lying in the coal vault. While no definite figures can be given on the loss at this time itis safe to say that it will reach $500,000 in this vicinity. Tore Off a Roof. Des Mornes, Io., May 11.—A cyclone came down the west bank of the Des Moines River yesterday afternoon, keeping at a bigh alti- tude until Court avenue was reached, when it struck the building occupied by Warfleld & Howell as a wholesale house. The wind tore the tin roof into small squares, carrying them tothe southwest, a distance of three or four blocks. About two-thirds of the roof was. rolled up into a large mass at the west side of the building, part of It overhanging the walls. Several other tin roofsin that vicinity were loosened, but none seriously damaged. Citizens ‘were badly frightened, and many sought shelter in cellars. | Rallroad Shops Damaged.

It eontrols or owns 5,000 and 6,000 miles of track and touches St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Omaha, St. Paul and Chicago, embracing in that territory a vast area of the most fertile agricultural land in the United states. It ie a Popular road and there are few in the country ’ that have more opportunities for success. It lies mostly west of the Mississippi! River and penetrates the magnificent grain region of Nebraska; it its the shortest route to Denver from St. Louis and it has facilities which, with the addition of its terminals in St. Louis, will make it unequaled by any road in the West. Itis this immense system which has recently made its purchases of real estate in North St. Louls, and on the property it proposes to establish the most perfect system of terminals inthe city. The st. Louis, Keo- kuk & Northwestern, which is owned by the C. B. & Q., aud is a part of the system, now runs into st. Louis over the Wabash tracks and uses the Wabash ter- aninals at Biddie street. But the Q has been looking further abead and has prepared to establish TERMINALS OF ITS OWN. St. Louis bas grown to such proportions and become a city of so much importance that no Western system is complete unless it reaches this city. The Q recognized this fact and also the fact that the constantly increasing quantity of grain that is being raised in the Northwest has other and more direct outlets than those which are now available. The Q is the cheapest line for grain from the North- west to St. Louis, and impressed with the im- portance of that fact the Di rectors determined establish e- ery possible facility for delivering the Northwestern grain here, that it might be shipped over the cheap river route to the sea- board, and exported at a less cost than it could be by any other means, and one of the chief reasons why the Q will make St. Louis the principal point on its system is because St. Louis offers facilities for handling cheaply the Northwestern grain business. Its contract with the Wabash has a number of years to run, but itis terminable by either party on eighteen months notice. That notice has not been given, nor have the officers of the company given any intimation of when it will be ——j ut they will have at least eighteen months in which to prepare to handle their own business. THE PURCHASES OF PROPERTY. When they concluded to establish terminal facilities of thelr own the directors deter- mined that those in St. Louis should be at least the equal, if possible the superior, of the facilities in any city in the country. They be- gan several months ago buying property along the proposed route. Mr. dwards Whittaker, of Matthews & Whittaker, repre- sented the directors, and outside of the direo- tors, ofiicers and attorney of the road and Mr. Whittaker, not a soul knew that the company was acquiring any property in the city. Now that the prop- erty has been obtained the company has in- troduced bills into both houses of the Municipal Assembly, asking permission to in thelr tracks. 8 desire to run over their own land, but it is in three sections and there are intervening streets which they propose to cross to reach their own property andthe only right of way they ask is over those few streets. ITS POLICY HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED. The officers say that the Q will be absolutely independent. It will have its switches to all the other roads, connections with the Wabash and Merchants’ lerminal. There is a report that it will go farther south than Franklin uvenue—down to Uarondelet. Mr. Whittaker says that there is no truth in that report; that the company owns no property south of Franklin avenneand wants none: Ne combinations will be made with other roads. Though it proposes to be friendly with all, it will unite with none. Two engineering parties are now boring for loca- tions for a bridge across the Missouri, and when @location bas been selected the plans will be made and the work begun, but the date for commencing the work cannot be fixed so far alead of the time. FiLING THE DEEDS, The deeds to the property which had been so qguictly bought were recorded at 6 O clock last evening just as the Recorder’s :offlee was about to be closed, and the last act was performed in se- curing to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy the title to between $5,000,000 and $4,000,000 worth of property in this city, extending from the northern limits south to Franklin avenue. Following close upon the beels of this Dele- gate K. F. Stone last evening introdyced an application in the House of Delegates fora franchise for the st. Louis, Kansas City & Northern Railroad Co. to construct and operate a single or double-track railroad into the city over a reute between Broadway and the Mississippi and to form conuectlons with the the Merchants’ Term!|- Abi of the same nature was Aae ee . presented to the Council by — eae Vogel. In acquiring the property de- a great deal of caution was practiced in preventing grantors from ascertaining the fut- ure use for which it was intended. TO ABANDON THE OLD ROUTE. In the route secured there are a great many Buildings, dwellings, tenements, §manufac- tories aud lumber yards, all off which will now have to be cleared away to make room for an entry to this city for the railway system, which has been struggling many years for the advantage at last obtained. Up to the present time, the road has been coming in over the Wabash from St. Peters, where a junction As it in St. Charles County. This route ie to be abandoned with the oonstruction of the Cleveland, St. Louis & Kansas: City road, for which the bridge over the Missouri is to be built near Hale Ferry, between St. Charles and the mouth ofthe river.

NEw YORK, May 11.—An important rall- road deal was consummated in Wall street yesterday. The Richmond Terminal Co bought at private sale all the outstanding minority stock of the Richmond & Danville Railroad Co. There are 7,339 shares of this stock, the rest ot the $5,000,000 capital hay- ing been bought some years ago by the Rich- mond Terminal at $235 per share. This price was offered for all the outstanding stock, but the owners of the 7,339 shares refused to sell. The offer has been open to them, however, ever since, though in the open market the quotation has been lately on about 200. The stock has been drawing 10 per cent dividends. A little while ago ne- gotiations were begun looking to indycing the minority holders to come in the Terminal fold and yesterday the end was reached success- my & The Richmond Terminal Co. is to pay for its new purchase in Richmond Terminal securities consisting in part of the lately au- thorized 5 per cent collateral trust bonds and in part of Terminal common stock, The truat bonds are rated at the sale at & and the stock at 26. For each share of Richmond & Danville acquired there is thus to be exchanged one 8 per cent Richmond Terminal bond at $5 and about six shares of ichmond Terminal stock at $2%each. The bonds are already authorized. The stock will have to be issued hereafter at 2 and $4,000,000 of stock will be requiréd. This increases the Terminal cap- ital 10 per cent. Air Line Extension. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCR. MT. VERNON, III., May 11.—A very important meeting of the citizens and business men was held in the court-room to take action in re- gard to having the Air Line extended from this city, instead of Keene’s Station, to Cen- tralia. it was thought that a right of way could be guaranteed the company through the township and city, provided they would build from here. A committee of twelve business men, including the Mayor, are to go among the citizens and raise sufficient money to buy them a rightof way. The committee will make a report to-night. It is thought the road will be built from here beyond doubt. The Iowa schedule. CHICAGO, III., May 11.—The Western roads are feeling the effect of the Iowa Railroad Commissioners’ low rates, notwithstanding the fact that inthe aggregate earnings are fairly good.

The House Refuses to Agree to the Confer- ence Report on the Senate Amendment— The Senate Nearly Clear of Work—Pros- pects of an Early Adjournment of the Missouri Legislature. . By Telegraph to the Post-DigPpaTcn. JEFFERSON Orty, Mo.. May 11.—The Senate has in a measure completed its work. It has disposed of all the revision bills except about eight or ten. Of these the following are the most important: The bill relating to cities, towns and yillages, the largest bill of the session, containing 404 pages of closely prinut- ed matte This bill has Been engrossed, printed and is ready for third reading, but to insure its passage a full Senate will be neces- sary. It will not be called up before next Tuesday. The revisory bills on elections, railroads and mortgages and deeds and trusts are also about ready for third reading. Tnere are about forty Senate revisory bills still pending in the House. It is believed that this entire work can be disposed of and the General Assembly be readyto adjourn sine die on Monday week, May 20. The Senate bas done almost the entire work ofrevision and is now waiting on the House. THE SCHOOL APPROPRIATION BILL. The House refused this morning to agree to the joint conference report on Senate amend- ment to House bill This Dill appropriated one-third of the State rev- enue fund for the next two years for the support of public schools. The bill was amended in the Senate by striking out ‘one- third’’ and inserting ‘‘one-fourth.’’ This the House refused to concur in, and a Conference Committee from both houses was appointed. This committee attempted to compromise by making the sum 724. This report was agreed to in the Senate, but rejected in the House. This morning the House pro- ceeded to reconsider, but upon the reoonsid- eration it stillrefused to agreetothe confer- ence report. This leaves the appropriation for the support of public schools in an unfortunate condition, and will necessitate either that the Senate recede from its amendment or the appointment ofa new conference committee. it is held by a few that inasmuch as the Constitution pro- vides for an appropriation of one-fourth of the entire State reyenue for the supportof public schools, that the same is self-inforcing and needs no legislative appropriation to give it effect. This opinion, however, bas but few supporters, the best attorneys holding thata legislative appropriation must be bad before any moneys can be drawn from tbe State Treasury. In this connection it will be remembered that since the adop- tion of the Constitution in 1875, the Legislature has uniformly 1 for this purpose the constitutional minimum ot one-fourth till 1887, when the General As- sembly appropriated one-third of the State revenue fund. The House, following in the footeters of the last General Assembly, made a similar appropriation in view of the liberal appropriations for other purposes. The Sen- ate Committee on Appropriations recommend- ed an amendment subatituting one-fourth for one-third. This amendment was emphatically rejected in the House by a vote of ninety-sey- en nays, which should have been interpreted as an intimation that that body would not consent to any reduction beyond an ap- propriation of one-third, but the Senate, by a small majority, refused to recede from its amendment. This action called for the Con ference Committee with the results hagetofore mentioned. The whole State is doubly inter- ested in this appropriation, and the people will not consent to any bull-headed persist- ency on the part of their representatives that may deny them the benefit of the public schoo] moneys for the next two years. THE GRAIN INSPECTION BILL. The grain inspection bill which passed the House is now before the Committee of Agr'!- culture of the Senate. The committee ap- —— by the St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange appear before the committee in opposition to the measure, will be given a hearing on Mond@. Outside of the Chairman, Senator Taggart, who seems to favor the bill, the attitude of the other members of the committee is not known. The other members are Senators Johnson of Madison, Sebree, Bybee and Headlee, three farmers and two lawyers. THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE BILL. The House to-day had under consideration the several araendments made by the Senate to the St. Louis Justice of the Peace bill, and concurred in all of them except the amend- ment not requiring the Justice to be a lawyer. The bill comes back to the Senate, and should it recede from its amendment the Justice must be a practicing a®orney. WILL DIE BY THE WIRE. The First Murderer to Be Fxecuted by Electricity. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. BUFFALO, N. Y., May 11.—The first man to pay the death penalty by electricity for murder inthis State probably will be Wm. Kemmler, who was yesterday found guilty of murder in the first degree for butchering his paramour on March 29. As this is the first caee under the new law, there is considerable interest inthe execution of the death penalty. Kemmiler’s lawyers will tapply for a new trial, but there is absolutely no chance for obtaining i, and Judge Childs on Tuesday will sentence the murderer to die by the wire. Under the law he will name the week in which the condemned man will be executed and the exact time will be fixed by the Warden of Auburn prison who will have charge of the execution. It must be four weeks after and within eight weeks from the date of sentence, and the prisoner is to be transferred by Sheriff Jenkins to Auburn with- in ten days. Sheriff Jenkins said last night that the forms of the law would be complied with and Kemmler would undoubtedly go to Auburn to suffer the death penalty—tbat isthe prison where convicts from this county are sent. Erie County has no dynamo, and the State purchase of three dynamos in New York this week he considers evidence that the death penalty is intended to be enacted only in three State prisons. If the execution is ordered in the Buffalo jail, there will be little trouble in carrying out the sentence, fora loop can be run to the electric light wire, which passes near the jail. The supervisors, however, have made no provisions for the expense, but if ordered by Judge Childs the payment would be mandatory. The death- watch has been placed on Kemm- ler. He saw several callers in the afternoon to whom he talked stupidly and said nothing about his crime or its penalty. Kemmier’s defense was alcoholic insanity. A year ago he eloped from Philadelphia with Tillie Zieg- ler, a railroad man’s wife, and they came to Buffalo with the woman’s little child, who was the only witness of the tragedy. Mrs. Zieg- ler was a sister of her murderer’s brother’s wife. The brother and his wife were present when Kemmler’s doom was settled by the jury. Kemmler’s crime was shockingly atro- cious. She had just got breakfast ready when he assaulted her with an axe, with which he chopped her head, breast and shoulders until they were almost unrecogniza- bie. The doctors found over forty wounds upon the body. Kemmier went tote neigh- bors after the butchery, with blood dripping from his fingers and said: ‘‘I’m glad I’ve killed ber. Ihad to doit and am willing to bang for it.“ He told his brother that the reason was jeal- ousy of a Spaniard calied ‘‘Yellow’’ Liebella, te whom his paramour was Very attentive. Carondelet Jottings. The Carondelet Gun Club will give a gold medal shoot to-morrow afternoon. Mrs. Emma White of Vicksburg, Miss., who for some time past has been visiting friends here, leaves to-night for her home.

A Mining Controversy—The President’s Trip —Bond Offerings and Purchases. WASHINGTON, D. Oi, May 11.—First Assistant Secretary Chandler of the Interior Depart- ment and Assistant Attorney-General Shields to-day heard argument of counsel on a motion to review the decision of the depart- ment, rendered March 18, 1889, by which the Holton mining lode at Helena, Mont., was awarded to the Elkhorn Mining Co. It was stated that about $300,000 have been expended in improvements on this prgperty. The case was taken under advisement. The Gunbeoat Palos. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—Officers at the Navy department absolutely discredit the report that the Palos bas been lost on the Chinese station. It appears that but eight days elapsed between the date of the last official report, April 16, and the sailing of the steamer bringing the report of her loss, and this is a hardly long enough to admitof the Palos having been re- lieved by one of the vessels at a distant North- ern port, and being out at sea for a time suf- ficient to justify apprehension for her loss. The Palos is a small gunboat of 420 tons, but is regarded as seaworthy. Land Office Special Agents. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—Irving G. Caldwell of Cincinnati, 8. W.

Close of the American Library Association’s Work To-Day. The American Librarians’ Association this morning concluded the convention, which has been in session since Tuesday morning, and this afternoon those of the members who remained in the city visited the Anheuser-Busch brewery. To-night the major number leave for their homes. The session this morning wus devoted mainly to discussion of cataloguing and classification, in which subject a prayer by W. E. Foster of Providence, R. I., led the way. The associa- tion denounced the false notions of economy held by library trustees who forced librarians to make Classifications of subjects when such classifications were in print and could be ob- tained for a few dollars. Prot. Winsor’s resolution that the associa- tion refuse hereafter to indorse anything ap- posite or inappositeto the purposes of the organization was reported unfavorably and was modified after a lengthy discussion to meet the views of the members. It was then adopted. The next place of meeting will be either Lake George or in the White Mountains—the location depending upon the terms that can be made. * At the meeting yesterday the Association elected the following Officers: President, F. M. Crunden of St. uis; Vice-Presidents S. S. Green, Free Library, Worcester, Muss.; Mellen Chamberlain, Public Library, Boston, Mass.; J. N. Larned, BuffaloLibrary, Buffalo, N.

Director Brady of the School Board is of the Opinion that he has madeadiscovery which will effect an important change in the school hours. Under the present regulations the time spent daily in the class room by the pub- lic school pupils is 5 hours and 80 minutes. Mr. Brady has found out that the general law states that the children of all public schools in the State shali attend school six hours a day. The St. Louis Board acts under a special charter which gives it the right to make its own regulations, but the charter also says that the School Board sball be composed of fifty-six members, while it has only twenty- one. The section in regard to the number of members which shall constitute the board being inoperative, Mr. Bradley thinks that the general law.as to the time school shail keep in is also applicabie, The other mem bers of the board do not coincide with his views. about the matter, and ascertain positively whether he is right or wrong.

The Blue Hope Diamond Originally the Famous Tavernier. Suddenly, in 1830, the small world of dia- mond worshippers was startied by the ap- pearance in the market of a unique stone,says a writer in Wide Awake for April, a deep blue diamond, 44% carats, which Mr. Daniel Eliason had far sale and about which he could give no details. It sprang suddenly upon the world without a history,’ unless, indeed, itbe the same as that mentioned by Mane some eighteen years before, and yet it wasa cut and polished brilliant. Its form was ir- regular, for it had one very flatside. Mr. Henry Philip 1 bought it for $90,000, and — henceforward became known as the Hope ue. As a notable gem in a famous private collec- tion the Hope Blue enjoyed for years a quiet distinction. It was set round about with pearisand white diamonds to enhance its azure, and had a beautiful pearldrop for pen- dant. Altogether, it was a heat and delight- ful trinket; price $150,000. Little or nothing was thought about it until the death of the Duke of Brunewick, the mad diamond miser, who used to sleep surrounded with mechani- cal pistols which were warranted to go with sueh fatal facility that it is a marvel they did not shoot his grace in mistake for a burglar. In 1874 the Brunswick diamonds came to the hammer, and among them a blue stone of six carats weight. Mr. Streeter, than whom there exists no better authority on diamonds, had this stone and the Hope Blue put into his hands together. He found that they were identical in color and quality; that the sides of cleavage matched as nearly as could be de- termined afterthe cutting, while the united weights, plus the calculated loss from recut- ting, amounted tothe weight of the French Blue, He immediately drew the very vatural conclusion that both these stones were once united and formed the Blue Diamond brought from India by Tavernier. He, it will be re- membered, called it of a lovely violet,’’ and as only very few other blue diamonds are known to be in existence, and they are allofa pale blue tint, we must admit that the weight of evidence hangs strongly in favor of Mr. Streeter’s reasoning. New York Opinions'on Men's Dress. A writer for tne Men's Outfitter has been in- terviewing a few of the leading artists in New York on the subject of the prevailing fashions in men’s dress. Mr. William Hart said among other thing: Regarding the present fashions in men’s dress, it is not pleasing to the artistic eye. It certainly is not beautiful, and besides this itis, with now and then an exception, not be- coming. Your hatter tells you that a silk hat of a certain shape is the style, and you must wear it, irrespective of the factthat its lines are out out of barmony with the lines of your face. If it were left to the good artist to create modes in dress, he would certainly banish the ‘stovepipe’ hat. And what hatin current use comes est T5 idea, Mr. Hart?“ ‘*Thé sort worn by William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). It is full of soft lines and can bya touch here and there by the wearer be made becoming to almost any face.’’ — the selection of colors in neck- wear, Mr. Hart said: ‘‘Too much preference is given by most men te what are called rage shades. ne should wear the color that is suitable to him, irrespective of what is the style. Neckwear is artistic when it becomes the wearer. A brunette can wear anything that has yellow or red init. The blonde can- not play with these colors. They make a guy ofhim. He must keepto the blues. He re- quires light colors, invariably tending to- wards blues. Certain varieties of blondes can indulge inthe pinks. Black and white are, of course, safe for all complexions. Too much white—unrelieved white, that is—figures i gentlemen's evening costumes. The tata white shirt bosom isashapeless form, desti- tute of artistic matter. Then there is so much of it to steal away the interest that belongs to the face, especially as it is surrounded by intense lack, which makes the bosom extra conspicuous and distracting. If WANAMAKER & BROWN. they had to leave ninety cards to do the thing in proper shape. ow these girls would die, each and every one of them, rather than todo a single thing which was not chic and recherche and au fait and en regle and cafe au lait, especially the Fuller girls, and as they ran back and forth to see each other in their innocent girlish way notless than four timesa day, the equation stood at the end of the month: 90 times 2 timea 4 times 30 equals 21,600. Justice Fuiler came here about the Ist of October, and by the end ofthe year his dear irls had used over 30, 000 cards calling on the varts girls, and not less than 38, more calling on other precious creatures, and the house was full ot cards. He couldn't pick up a book or putdowna hand without grabbin a handful ofcards. The house was carpete with cards. It is the same way over at Sena- tor Evarts’. The Judge had been drawing his $10,500 » ne in monthly instalments and paying his andlord $1,000 a month with commendable regularity and cheerfulness. But when Janu-. ary l came around, and the stationer ran in a bill of $600 for printing 60,000 visiting cards the Judge felt apprehensive. The stationer had thething down fine. To. accommodate the girls he had been putting the cards up in neat little decks of ten—just family decks, you see. Then, when a call was made a pack was left foreach member of the family called upon. Andthe Evarts girls had theirs fixed the same way. So convenient, didn’t have to break a deck. The Justice carefully brushed his hat that a He had thought of buying a new tile as a New Year’s present, but he oy away the notion and gave the old one a whirl against the bengine rag. Then he put it on, washed his hands carefully, gave his mus- tache a twist and went over to Senator Evarts’. He looked re me + at a passing street-car, but resolute! raced himself against the temptation and walked. The Senator and the Justice had a long con- fidential talk and parted with a cordial grasp ofthe hand. The next day a furniture van, heavily laden, went from the Evarts h to the Fuller house and a big two- horse dray, loaded to the scuppers, toiled from the tice’stothe Senator’s. The girl’s were changing cards. Now, when they make calls on each other they just bang on the newel post and holler up-stairs. * THE NEXT CENSUS. Great Changes and Curious Contrasts That It Will Reveal. From the Bankers’ Magazine. The census of 1890 will reveal many wonder- ful changes. Thecentral line of population will be much nearer the Mississippi River than iu was ten yéars ago. A serles of maps like those contained in the last census, of grada- tions in color, to indicate the changes in density of population, wealth, health and other important facts, will present a curious contrast with the maps that we now have for the census of 1880, or that of 1870. Over 16, 000, 000 acres of land were sold in the last fiscal yearunder the operation of the homestead and timber culture law. More than 124,000,000 acres have been settied in the last eight years representing a larger area than the States of {ndiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. The greatest changes have been made in the Northwestern group of States and Territories, comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota Wyoming and Montana, where nearly 60,000, of acres have been settied in the last eight penne. In the Southwestern group, compris- ng Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico, nearly 80,000,000 of acres have been occupied. On the Pacific Coast 19,000,000 of acres more have been settied, and 13,000,000 of acres must be added for the Southern States on both sides of the Mississippi. Along the Pacific roads 18, 000,000 of acres have been opened since the last census. In other words, the Government and the Pacific Kailroad have opened for set- tlement in the last eight years a territory larger than the New England, Middle States and South Carolina combined; larger than Germany or France, and about twice as large as Great Britain and Ireirnd.

An odd phase of philanthropic educational work has been instituted in Boston, and has met with a degree of success that is most grat- ifying to those who have been specially inter- ested init. While not a movement that comes under the distinctive head of charity, it is found under the broader title of philanthropy. The society whose special work is to forward this movement is the window gardening com- mittee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. . Probably every one knows that this society bas for several years used every means in its power to encourage the cultivation of window plants, and to that end appointed a special committee to take charge of the ‘‘window gardening’’ of this State. It may not be out of place to state briefly the steps by which the work accomplished Easter Sunday, as stated below, bas been reached. In March, 1872, a communication was read before the Horticultural Society. This com- munication was from Rufus Ellis, Henry W. Foote and Oyrus Bartol, and expressed the desire that the Massachusetts Horticultural’ Society offer prizes for window gardens, con- drfct all the business of advertising, award- ing prizes, etc., and whatever money was re- uired would be furnished by the petitioners. he plan was adopted, and during that year plants were distributed by several churches, and from this small beginning the movement has grown until now it takes a special com mittee to look after this matter of window gardening. As set forth in a circular sent out dy the Window Gardening Committee, January 1 last, it was stated that it was hoped that all those churches which had been in the habit of giving their childrena bunch of flowers at Easter would substitute pot plants in order that every child might have at least one plant to begin a window garden’’ with. It will be seen at once that to 4 a child a plant prop- erly started and ready to commence a good growth is decidedly preferable to the usual bunch of fowers that at the best only lasts twenty-four hours and, as a matter of ex- pense, 4351 — plants do not cost any more than the fowers ina bouquet, and the child has a permanent pleasure ana one that will have a good moral effect. It will not be questioned that teaching a child to love and care for plants and flowers can but be folpwed by the best results. Last Easter this plan was followed by many of our churches, and with most excellent re- sults, but a point arose that the committee had not foreseen, and that was that after the child had received a plant the child immedi- ately began to ask questions regarding its growth; how shall Icarefor it? Can I make it grow? When shalili water it? and a hundred others, which not only showed the interest taken in window gardening, but made it nec- essary for instructions to be given on the cultivation of house plants. To meet this want the window gardening committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society have just published a pamphlet on the cultivation of house piants, and not only does this book include full hints on how to grow house lants, butalsoa list of the wild flowers of assachusetts, stating when they bloom and where they can be obtained, making this poe. avery valuable work for any one to rave whois at all interested in horticulture. This pamphlet also includes full notes on how r and wild flowers should be prepared or exhibition, and also a full statement of this matter of window gardening since its start in 1872. It is with great satisfaction that the commit. tee who have this matter in charge can state that Easter Sunday witnessed the giving out to children by the churches ofthis State over 5,000 plants in pots in place ofthe same num- ber of bouquets as given last year. In most cases every child who received a plant re- ceived with it one of our — 1 so that each child is fully prepared to begin window gardening for himself. In Boston alone over 2,000 of these pamphlets were distributed, and the good which has been done can hardly overestimated. At the same time we do not wish to stop here, and it would be very 8 to the committee if all those churches Boston and in any part of this State that gave their children plants at Master would correspond with the Secretary of this com- mittee and obtain the pamphlets, and give them as soon as possible to their children. Although this pamphlet has been published especially for the children, the list of wild flowers has been added for the special purpose of making it interesting to every one, and all those who wish to obtain a copy can do so by r 10 cents in stamps to cover the cost — to the Secretary of the win ow gardening committee. M. B. Foxon, South Market street, Boston, Mass., and copies will be promptly forwarded by mail. Any correspondence in reference to this mat- ter should also be sent to the same address. The committee earnestly hopes that as this work of window gardening is pow fairly un- Aer way everyone interested will lend their aid to make this matter a grand success, as it feels sure that nothing which could bé done for a child will have a better mental and moral effect than to teach that child to love and care for plants.

The Origin of the Movement—It Has Spread Rapidly and Increased in Numbers and Usefulness—The Orders That Are at Work in New York—The Good Work They Are Doing in a Quiet and Unostentatious Way. 1 From the New York Star. Every one is familiar with the sisterhoods of the Roman Catholic Church. Every one has seen those black, stolid emissaries of charity and relief touching with kindly hands the heated brow of the silex in the hospitals, or asking for alms to relieve the poor and dis- tressed. All this is familiar, but every one does not knowthat in their midst there are thriving sisterhoods of Protestant nuns. Protestant sisterhood is a nineteenth cen- tury development such as the reformers of three centuries ago could never have thought possible. Even a century ago no such idea would have been tolerated. But to-day there are in the ranks of Protestanism over twelve thousand black-robed consecrated nuns. The average American will be somewhat sur prised to learn that the first Protestant nuns were German, not English, and, instead of being reared in an atmosphere of Anglican ism, were the doctrinal descendants of Luther and Zwingle, who looked upon anun’s garb as the livery of the devil. In 18338 a young German pastor, Theodore Fliedner, undertook the work of reviving the medieval Order of Deaconesses,and induced a young German girl, Gcrtrude Reichard, to be- come the first deaconess. A large house was opened at Kaiserworth asthe mother house of the order. In spite of opposition from Ro- manistand Protestant alike the movement expanded until soon there were deaconess houses in Strassburg, Dresden, Breslau, Stet- tinand many another European city. Bey- rout, Smyrna, Jerusalem and Oonstantinopie were provided with German deaconesses, and a little colony of seven was planted in Pitts- burg. All this was due to the gealous labor of Pas- tor Fliedner. At the time of his death, in 1864, there were 1,600 deaconesses engaged in more than four bundred different fields of labor. The past thirty-tive years has beheld a still larger increase, and now 7,200 Lutheran deaconesseés are at work in 1,500 different lo- calities. There are about forty German dea- conesses in this country, nearly all og whom are ip Philadelphia at the Mary J. Drexel Home. A home is to be opened in Omaha, Neb., and several probationers are now undergoing acourse of instruction pre paratory for their entrance into the order. The term of probation vari ™m two to five years, and at the end of tha e the novice dons the uniform ofthe order and is conse- crated a deaconess. In 1848 Episcopalian sisterhoods were formed in England, in direct imitation of the Luther orders. They differ from them in one impor- tant particular; all who enter these sister hoods take the vow for life. The sister’s vow and farewellto the world is irrevocable, and she may never marry. On the other hand, a Lutheran deaconess may leave the order whenever she deems best. Another distinc- tion between the two is that the Lutheran sisters or deaconesses are all members of one order, whereas there are sixteen Episcopalian sisterhoods in existence. In Baitimore there are two sisterhoods— those of St. Mary and All Saints, composed entirely of colored women. At Fon du Lac, Wis., the Sisterhood of St. Monica is com- — — entirely of widows. The sisters of the piscopal Church are never known as dea- —— and their work is largely of an ec- — nature; yet in their functions of ing, Visiting and teaching they nearly — the adherents of the Lutheran and Methodist cburchbes. The Methodist movement had its inception in Chicago in the summer of 1887. Eight wom- en were consecrated as deaconesses, and in three months they made 2,751 religious visits. The work gradually developed into a training school for missionaries, and last veur a nurses’ training school was added. The Pres- byterians and Calvinists are also becoming in- terested in the movement, andtheir deacon- esses will no doubt soon help in the charitable work. In this greatcity of New York there is a small colony of Episcopalian nuns whose gvod work has been felt in many a poor and deso- late home. They are the Sisters of St. Mary. That order was established on February?,1865, by Bishop Horatio Potter, uncle of the present Bishop Potter. Four women were conse- crated, and a mother house established at Peekskill some time after. Sister Harriott is the mother * of the order. The insti- tutions governed a, the Sisters are: St. Mary’s Hospital, in West Thirty-fourth street, containing seventy-five beds; Trinity Hos- pital, No. 90 Varick street; St. Mary’s School, No. 8 East Fortieth street, accommodating thirty boarding and 100 day scholars; House of Mere Eighty- sixth street and Riverside drive} rinity Mission-bouse in Fulton street; seaside homes at Islip and 2 board- ing school at Kenosha, Wis.; Mission-house in Chicago and a school and orphanage at Memphis, Tenn. Over eight hundred families are looked after by the Sisters of Trinity Hospital. These latter also carry on the work of teaching at Trinity school, No. 90 Trinity place, the Sisters living at the hospital and going down tothe school every morning. The saddest part oftheir work is witnessing the troubles which money cannot help—onlya kind word be given and a pointing to the one source of comfort. The hospital is maintaified by the corporation of Trinity Church, at $7,800 per ear, for the benefit of the sick poor belong- ng to the parish. Whenever there is room patients are received from outside the parish. The following are the official conductors of the institution: Sister Dolores—Superintencent. Oonsultin Physicians—Dr. William M. Polk, No. 13 East Thirty-fourth street; Dr. William H. Draper, No. 4 East Thirty-seventh street. Attending Physicians—Dr. George H. Hum- hreys, No. 23 Fast Forty-seventh street; Dr. arlos P. Tucker, No. 43 West Twenty-sixth street; Dr. Charles E. Hackley, No. 6 West Thirty -sixth street; Dr. Edward M. Cameron, No. 22 West Forty- seventh street. Visiting Physician—Dr. William L. Harding, No. 54 Morton street. Ophthalmic Surgeon—Dr. Richard H. Derby, No. 9 West Thirty-fifth street. The sisters investigate and relieve all casas of destitution brought to their notice, it found worthy; visit from time to time, either personally or through the help of ladies stay- ing with them, the many families whose names are on their books; make arrangements for sending children and adults into the country during July and August, and supply medicine and nourishment to the sick. Calls are frequently issued from the hospital by the Sisters to people coy to obtain housecleaners, day seamstresses, housekeep- ers and women for other occupations. A mis- sion house on the Battery, No. 30 State street, is the headquarters for the work among the poor. There are held mothers’ meetings, guild meetings of young women and young girls, Bible classes and similar gatherings. Three Sisters, three visitors and four training giris have charge of the mission house. To those beving homes in the country, sur- rounded by ite comforts, the suffering of the children in our tenement districts is beyond realization. For these latter the seaside homes have been opened, and the gentle Sisters es mony a young lite from the shafts of ath and disease during thesummer months. In addition to all this good work among the r., the Protestant Sisters have extended a and to tbeir fallen sisters.

A NEW SCHEME, Flow to Send Flowers to Your Girl When She Is in Mid-Ocean. From the New York WORLD. Floral surprises area new idea to compli- ment young women crossing the Atlantic, es pecially after they have recovered from the unpleasant feelings incident to the first and second days. Filla tin box with rosebuds: lilies of the valley, violets or other flowers, with stems that will absorb moisture. Pack them in wetmoss. Wrap the tin box in rubber cloth and a stout paper wrapper. Direct tne package to the person intended to be surprised. Deliver the box to the steward of the steamship to put in his ice house or cold room, with instructions to deliver in three or four days staxi him at the same time. When the box is the flowers will be fresh and, of course, a pleasant surprise.

The baby nestles close to the popular heart. Itisthe joy of the household, the apple of the father’s and the mother’s eye, the pet of relatives and friend’ and the object of most of the otherwise unem- ployed kissing and caressing impulses in its neighborhood. The appearance of a baby will change female suffragists, en- gaged in the task of hurling denunciations at the tyrant man, from stern reformers into real, impulsive women and will turn a girls’ boarding-school into a circus. The subject of the baby, therefore, is too excellent and popular to be neglected by the popular SuNDay Post-DIsPaTcH. Nothing that reachgs the popular heart is neglected by the Post-Dispatcu, and everything which appeals to the interests, affections and wholesome desires of the people is food for its columns. The Sun- Dar Posr-Disrarcn places before its readers the things in which they are most interested, which enter into their every- day livesand are the subjects of their thoughts and conversations. It is this quality in it which has made it so popular with the people, and hasso stimulated the demand for it that the growth of its circulation in city and country & wonder- ful. The people do not want a reminiscences and encyclopedic tions in anewpaper. They want cirrent, live topics, dealing with themselveg and the people around them and things Which appear in their daily lives. They Have a healthy desire to know what is proper about others, about houses, dregs, pas- times, social usages, the fads, famcies and novelties of the circle and the great world in which they live. They want these sub- jects treated brightly and originally. The SUNDAY Posr-Disraron meets these wants of city and country readers and hence isin demand. It has told all about the beaux, belles and mothers-in-law of Missouri. To-morrow it wili tell all about the pretty babies of Missouri and Ulinois. This original enterprise of the paper places it out of reach of imitation by its old-fashioned contemporaries. — — Oo — HISTORY VERSUS DEPEW. It seems ungrateful and certainly is not a pleasing task to object to praises be- stowed on any man who rendered distinguished and never-to-be-forgotten services in achieving the independence of our country and erecting the fabric of our Government. But claims set up for any one that are contradicted by the his- tory of the times and that are unjust to other founders of our Union should not be allowed to pass unchallenged. Such a claim is that which Mr. CHAaUN- CEY DEPEW preferred as orator of the day at the New York Centennial when he said that JEFFERSON was the inspiration of in- dependence, but HAMILTON was the in- carnation of the Constitution.“ The central idea of his oration was that we are indebted for our Federal Constitution to the genius of HAMILTON, supported by the influence of WASHINGTON. Other or- ators at other points also made the most of the opportunity to claim for HAMILTON that the Constitution ‘‘is his monument,’’ and that we are indebted to him above all men, both for its conception and its es- tablishment.” Now, if there is one thing that is clearly established by the records of the time and other undisputed evidence, it is the fact that HAMILTON had about as little to do with the conception and development of the Constitution as any member of the convention. In fact he was, as BANCROFT states, absent half the time from an early period in the deliberations, and took very little part in the formation of the Constitution.“ The most memorable thing he did in the convention was the delivery of a speech in which he pro- claimed his utter want of faſth in a re- publican form of government, praised the British House of Lords as a most noble in- stitution“ and held up the British as the best form of government,’’ the English model as the only good one.“ He in- sisted that the convention should ap- proach that model ‘‘as near as possible.” All of his suggestions were of that kind. His avowed object was to ‘‘rescue the country from democracy,’’ which he re- garded as synonymous with anarchy. In- stead of being his conception, the Consti- tution was the opposite of all his concep- tions. WasHINGTON’s influence induced him to accept it as the best that could be had at that time, but he still preferred a strong centralized Government, a limited monarch, with a House of Lords and a House of Commons based on limited suffrage and property representa- tion, according to the British model of his time. It was his plutocratic ideas and his distrust of a “government of the people, by the people and for the peo- ple“ that commend HamitTon to the praises of orators representing the schem- ing and plotting plutocracy of the present day. N The Constitution as an entirety was the conception of no one man. It was a sys- tem of compromises, the outgrowth of the situation and evoived from its necessities. But its distinctive features, an abid- ing faith in the people and in their ca- | pacity for self-government, we owe not to HAMILTON, the antagonist, but to THomas * | It was James Mapison, the disciple and | of Ixrrxnsom in the con- | N 8 * 7 4, 7 4 > > > * =" Constitution. And it was ALEXANDER HAMILTON who rejected the Virginia plan in these words: A democratic Assem- ‘*‘biy is to be checked by a democratic „Senate, and these by a democratic Chief Magistrate. The Virginia plan is “but pork still, with a little change of ‘*‘saunce,’? Far be it from us to stint the credit due HaMILtTon for what he did in securing the adoption of a Constitution so different from his own idea; for what he did in making a success of the Government in- augurated under it, or for the brave and enthusiastic service he rendered in achiev- ing our independence. But his aim was to transplant the British Constitution, and establish under it on our shores a Continental England; not to create a democratic Union, such as we have. To ascribe the conception and creation of it to his genius and treat the share of MaprI- SON and others in the convention’s work as not worth mentioning, is to falsify the most sacred chapters in the written his- tory of our Government. — . — 10 THE CHARITABLE. A citizen of California, Mo., sends us $2 to open a Posr-Disrarch subscription fund for the relief of the several large broods of miserably poor and helpless lit- tle children left dependent on the charity of mankind by the Bald Knobbers exe- cuted at Ozark. That execution, even without the atrocious bungling which made it such a horribly shocking scene, was a cruel necessity that aroused a wide- spread pity for the guilty fanatics them- selves, and especially for the two WALK- ERS, whose infatuation made them refuse to escape when they could have done so. But the wretchedly poor families of little children deprived of their only sup- port by this execution are a forlorn spectacie appealing to every man or woman who has a heart for pity. They live in a rough, wild and thinly settled country, and any substan- tial aid they receive must reach them from abroad. Thelaw has been sternly vindicated, and the value of this vindica- tion to the State and to @ciety at large will be increased rather than diminished by tempering the stern lesson of the law with mercy and kindly charity tothe poor and innocent little ones who are the chief sufferers by the crime and punishment of their fathers. Every section of the State should take a hand in this charity, to pro- mote which the Posr-Disrarch will re- ceive, acknowledge and transmit to proper custodians all contributions sent for the purpose to our care. —ͤ——ä— — — —:' MANY of the Democratic clerks in the railway mail service are just receiving notices of removal. These notices are all dated prior to May 1. Supt. BRL explains this delay in the arrival of the notices by stating that before May 1 the whole force of the department was given up to preparing the notices, and many of them were not sent off until after that date. Think of an entire month andahalf of time especially granted for the purpose by the President being given up by the employes of a governmental department to changing the working force on account of politics. THE people of Mitchell County, Georgia, are in a state of terror on account of the operations of a band of White Caps. Men and women have been dragged from their homes and beaten with trace chains and fatal results are expected in several in- stances. We commend to the Georgia authorities the treatment wu ich has made Bald Knobberism a thing of the past in Southwest Missouri. It is a severe but ef- fective method of discouraging organized lynching. Money in Politics. From the New York WORLD. No, tere is no hostility worth mentioning in this country to wealth per se, honorably won or rightly inherited and employedina proper public spirit. It is only when money goes into the arena of politics and seeks control of the Government that it becomes obnoxious and dangerous. When money secures its possessor a high office by corrupting the suffrage or debauching public servants it is acause of injustice anda source of danger. When the money of a great corporation, a debtor to the Government for a large amount, is employed in maintaining a lobby at Washington to ‘‘look after the legis- lative, the judicial and the executive depart- ments,’’ as Mr. Huntington coolly admitted that the Central Pacific money was used, it is a public enemy. There is no difficulty in drawing the line. The Money Power makes itself a plutocracy when it invades the domain of politics and government and substitutes the selfish in- terest of the few for the will. and the welfare ofthe many. It is the beginning of this en- croachment that the people are called upon to resist. . Marching Without the Flag. From an Exchange. Maj. R. C. Glichrist, commanding the Wash- ington Light Infantry of Charleston, the offending command, explains as follows: First premising that they are the custodians of the Cowpens and Eutaw Springs battle flag, and that the centennial authorities had not informed him what to do with this precious and historical flag.

The Missouri Deputy. From the New York Times. The truth appears to be that while Mr. Fil- ley was picking up these ‘‘indorsements’’ in the Legislature and at the headquarters of the several campaign committees he overlooked or failed to concillate the one man above ail others whose name he should have under- taken to place on his papers—the retired star- route contractor, Richard O. Nerens. He knew that Mr. Korens had been the only and honored guest of Mr. Harrison at his Thanks- giving dinner and that after the inauguration he bad by common report become a member ofthe unofficial cabinet. He saw that with respect to appointmepts in Missouri and Ar- kansas Mr. Kerens exercised far more infiu- ence than the local Congressman, and yet he seems to have believed that he could get along without this man’s favor, 5 Boycotting Colored Republicans. From the New York Times. Mr. Harrison received a contribution to the materials for an exhaustive study of the Southern problem yesterday from a colored gentieman who edits an organ of his race in dgrsey City, who assured him that to treat the Southern negroes with neglect would drive enough negroes in some Northern States over to the Democrats to change the complexion— so to speak—of those States. This informs tion interested Mr. Harrison mightily, and he invited bis visitor to come again. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. The Public Library. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. It would be a matter of regret the meeting of the American Librarians’ Association should close without attracting serious atten- tion to our public library. These gentlemen represent the best intelligence of the country in regard to the value and proper method of use of what has come to be one of the great agencies of modern life, the public library. They represent in their own persons the great change which has come over the country in recent years, both in regard to the number and size of the libraries and the view that is taken of them. The public library is to-day the true „people's university,’’ and it has become ‘‘fashionabile’’ for rich men to provide edi- fices for them and to endow them, as Dr. Poole said, largely because of the labors of the distinguished gentiemen now with us. The opinions of these gentiemen upon the needs of St. Louis are worthy of every attention. They have complimented us upon the beauty of the city, upon our parks, and edifices, both commercial and domestic; they have expressed surprise at the evidences of refinement, culture and public spirit they have discovered. They have bestowed un- stinted praise upon the Mercantile Library, Dr. Poole saying he would gladly have made the trip for the purpose of seeing its new building. It is a modelof what a library should be in all its arrangements. But they also feel compelled to express their as- tonishment at our Public Library. That we should be content to keep such a library in such a building, ‘‘the very worst conceiv- able,’’ where books are inaccessible, rapidly perishing from unavoidable injury, in con- stant peril from fire, and above all, withheld from the free use of the people by the miser- able fee for membership, which, small as it may be, serves, as wide experience has every- where proved, as an almost complete barrier to the use of the books by those who most need them, this is what surprises our visitors. In fact, we have no public library at all. Though we call it such, the restric- tions now existing upon it make it, with the seventy odd thousand volumes, the library of the few. Cannot something be done? The School Board say they can ill afford the $13,000 they now appropriate annually to the library; without the 55,000 additional received from membership fees it could not be run; while opening it to the public would bring such an increased use of the books as would involve increase of expenditure. This but it reminds one of the man who slept twelve hours in the twenty-four, because when he was asleep his expenses stopped. Ifthe city can afford to own 70,000 volumes it ought in some way to be able to afford to keep them ‘‘awake.’’ Ibave no sure solution of the difficulty to suggest, but I am very sure that St. Louis cannot afford to be without a true public li- brary; one that is intrenched in the hearts of the people because they have learned that it is their sure and constant and most helpful friend, putting in the hand of eve man, woman and child in the community who will, the right book to minister to his present need; to instruct, to console, to entertain, to hu- morize; and that asthe act of the city treat- ing the citizens as men, with human needs. This would be a public institution without an enemy ora critic in all the town. Is it too much to hope that some public- spirited citizen will seize this opportunity to bestow a benefit which will reach every one of his fellow citizens and their children for gen- erations by making possible such a library. Suppose he should give to the city @suitabie library building on conditionof an annual grant for library purposes; or suppose he should start a fund fora building; the experi- ence of other cities shows that other gifts and bequests quickly follow. How would it do for the School Board to give up the manage- ment ofthe library for which their resources are manifestly inadequate, turning it over to the city, which then might make special pro- vision for its management and support. his would release money much needed for school purposes, and, by making the library a dis- tinct department of the public work, throw it more directly upon the thought and heart of the people. The history of public libraries elsewhere show that this can be done in such way as to keep it entirely out of politics and to avoid corruption. The method, however, is unimportant, the library is the great need; if the people realize this it will not be long be- fore we have it. HENRY A. STIMSON. St. Louis, May 10, 1889.

THE MAY FESTIVAL TO BE HELD ON FRI- DAY, MAY 24 The Change From Saturday, May 25, De. cided On Last Night for Several Rea- sons—The Running Meeting to Take Place at the Track on That Day the Principal Cause—Opinions on the Alter- ation, 5 At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Sunday-school May Festival, held at the office of the President, W. H. McClain, last evening, the committee decided to change the date of the festival from Saturday, May 25, to Friday, May 24. The following circular has been mailed to all of the superintendents: DEAR BROTHER: The last regular meeting of the Sunday Sehool Superintendents’ Union, adjourned to meet Monday evening at S o’clock, May 13, 1889, at the parlors of the Mercantile Club. This meeting will be of great importance and you are especially in- vited to attend. The Programme and other committees will be prepared to make reports of their work and other business of importance will come before the union. For reasons deemed sufficient and which will be brought before the Union on Monday evening, the Executive Committee has changed the date ot the festival from Satur- day, May 25, to Friday, May 24. Please an- nounce this change of date and say to your school thatthe committee will endeaver to arrange so that the festival willnot conflict with the regular day school work of the pupils. Tickets,song sheets and further infor- mation can be had on application to Robert Rutledge, headquarters, 720 Pine street. Fra- ternally yours, THB COMMITTEE. A PO8sT-DISP.TCH reporter called upon Mr. McClain to-day to ascertain the reasons for the change of date and he stated that there were several reasons for the change. **First,’’ hesaid, ‘‘there are many of our teachers and Sunday-school officers that are engaged in business that cannot attend on Saturday, but coula attend on Friday. There are quite a number of book-keepers and head clerks in the various retail siores that seemed to think they had been cut out of attending the festival because it was to be held on Saturday. At least five of the ten choristers appointed to drill the chorus have stated that they could not attend on Satur- day, being engaged in retail stores and thatis their most busy day. Another reason was that mothers object to the festival on Saturday be- cause they are not enabled to get their Satur- day work finished and make preparation for the Sabbath. Again some Sunday School Superintendents object to Saturday because it has a bad effect upon the morning Sunday- schools. The principal reason, how- ever, was the fact that the Joekey Club has arranged for a series of running races to occur on Saturday aiternoon, While the festival managers might have had the grounds, and could have had the use of the race-track and grand stand in the mornirg, the committee was not willing to hold the festival on the same day that running races were given, and it there had been no other reason this would have been sufficient for changing the date.’’ Will the change affect the attendance of the day schools?“ Ot course this connot but affect the attend- ance to some extent, and yet the committee hope to be ableto arrange so that day-school pes can be excused to attend the Festival. have been informed that there is a rule now in force by which any pupil is entitled to be excused for one day to attend their Sunday- school picnic, and as many of the Sunday- schools do not intend ye picnics this year and others will defer their picnic until after the schools are closed, this would prac- tically give all our children an opportunity to attend the festival. We hope, however, that the School Board will yet decide to excuse all pupils who wish to attend this Festival.’’ The Scool Board has decided against giv- ing a holiday for picnics?’’ **I know that this question has been passed upon and decided, and our committee would not think of asking for a holiday on — the festival. We would not want the Board to reverse their action in that matter, neither would we want to teach our Sunday-school pupils to disobey any of the rules or regula- tions ofthe School Board. We shal! simply ask that such pupils as may wish to attend the festival be excused for a half day, Friday, May, ” E. P. V. Ritter, Superintendent of the Union M. E. Sunday- school, was seen and asked how the change suited him. ‘*‘Ilam decidedly in favor of the change, in fact, Ihave always 1 holding picnics on Saturday. It will de much easier for me and the people connected with the Famous to attend on Friday than on Saturday, and we believe that this is true of all the retail stores. D. R. Wolfe, Superintendent ot the Bethel Mission, said: There was nothing eise for the committee to do. Icould not and would not ag) eeto take Sunday-school scholars on the ‘air Grounds duribg the day of the races. He said he bad studied the question carefully and believed thatthe change would not seriously affect the attendance of the festival.’’ L. F. Lindsay, Chorister, and Chairman of the Committe on Programme, who has had a larger opportunity of knowing the sentiments of the people, stated that most people to whom he had spoken in regard to the matter seemed to be pleased with the change, that he had found many of the principal workers could not attend on Saturday and that they would gladly avail themselves of the privilege of attending on Friday. He believed that as many would be accommodated on Friday as would be disappointed by not having it on 8 R. E. Brier, Superintendent of the Second Presbyterian Sunday-scnool, said: I am an oid-fashioned Presbyterian, and I can not but believe the change is for the best.’’ He confessed that he could not see just wherein the benefit was to come, but his faith was not shaken. . Robt. Rutlege, Secretary of the Union, said: ‘*Peopie are coming right along, taking out tickets and that the change does not seriously affect the number of schools that seem to be determined to take part in the festival.’’ The School-board at a meeting to be held Tuesday night, will have the question of granting such children as may wish to attend the May festival a half holiday brought up for consideration. 11 ss A charming V Mutual Consent. sory by Flor ence Warden, author of The House on the Marsh.’’ Illustrated.

A Contract Awarded for Five Gans, to Be Ready in Seven Months. By Telegraph to the Post-D1sPATCR. NEW YORK, May 11.—The contract for making the five new 15-inch dynamite guns has been awarded toithe West Foundry at Cold Springs, N. T1. The contract calls for the delivering of It will be re- membered thatthe Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Co. secured an order from the United States Government for seven dynamite guns to be divided between New York and Boston har- bors. At the time the order was issued the Pneumatic Gun Co. had on hand two guns, one of S8-inch caliber (the gun used in the construction of the schooner Silliman) and al5-inch gun, with 40 feet length of re. The latter gun had originally been intended for the Italian Gov- ernment, but for some reason it was offered to the United States. It is the same piece that was used in the experiment of last January and February at Fort Lafayette. Both the 8 inch and 15-inch gun will constitute a part of the battery intended for New York harbor, and will be mounted at Sandy Hook, it is ex- pected, inside of thirty days. The plot of groun to be occupied by them has not yet een laid out, but it will be as soon as the War Department receives from the Pneumatic Gun Co. the plans and drawings showing how much space will be necessary. Work still continues on the mechanism of the guns for the Vesuvius. The Pneumatic Gun Co. is making an effort to shorten the ‘*wait’’ between the time when the order „ Hre“ is given to the actual commencement of the flight of the projectile. It issaid that this time is becoming gradually narrowed down as the experimenting pro- gresses, and from the 20-inch pull once re- quired on the air lever there is now but a 8 inch pull. Those who have witnessed the fir- ing of the dynamite gun will recall that when the lever was first thrown back there ensued a hissing sound, followed some seconds later by the report of the piece and the flight of the projectile. It is with the endeavor to have the projectile leave the gun the moment the word ‘‘fire’’ is given, thatthe gun company has been deter- ring from time to time the date ofthe official trial. The appropriation made by Congress for the building of agotbher dynamite cruiseris being withheld until the Vesuvius is finally accept- ed. is said that the new cruiser will carry two guns instead of three, as carried on the Vesuvius. One of these guns will be mounted forward and the other aft. There is some talk of Capt. Zalinski going abroad as military at- tache to one of the United States legations on the Continent. It is not stated to which cap- ital Capt. Zalinski desires to go. HER THILD ATTEMPT, Annie Seymour, a 16-Year-Old Girl, Takes Poison and Will Die. Annie Seymour, a 16-year-old girl, living on the second floor in the rearof 1407 North Eighth street, attempted suicide this morning by swallowing a dose of paris green. When found by her sister at 8 a. m. she was vomiting freely, and confessed having taken the poison. She was sent to the Dis- pensary where Drs. Jacobson and Priest treated her and sent her to the hospital for further treatment. Dr. Jacobson says the girl is at present in fair condition, but he has lit- tle hopes of her recovery as the stomach was much inflamed. The girl seems to have a wania for suicide. Some six months ago she took a dose of morphine, but was resuscitated. A love affair was at that time supposed to have prompted tne deed, but six weeks ago she again attempted selt-de- struction by means ot a dose of laudanum. She again recovered, but the paris green seems to have deen the most ef- fective and she will peony die. The girl was until four days ago employed in the Liggett & Myers tobacco factory, when she had some trouble with the forelady and was discharged. This morning she went to the Drummond Tobacco Co. to et work. She took sick iately on her return and her mother feared that she had taken poison. The girl said that she had not, but that she bad been drinking some beer and that it had made her sick. Mrs. Seymour said that her daughter had been very despondent for some days, but she had been unable to ascertain the cause. SCRAMBLE FOR STRAWBERSBIES. Collision Proves a Picnic for a Number of Street Urchins. A wagon owned and driven by T. M. Tuttle, and heavily laden with boxes of strawberries was struck by an Olive street cable car at the interse@tion of Seventh and Olive streets about 9:20 o’clock this morning. The grip struck the wagon with such force as to take off a rear wheel, and a number of the boxes were broken by their fall, and the luscious fruit which they contained strewn all over the street. Had the strawberries been diamonds there could not have been a wilder rush for them bythe newsboys and street urchins. Like flies when alump of sugar isexposed they seemed to come in swarms from all directions. Their wild struggles to pick up the berries and their oxclamations of delight as they crushed them in their mouths afforded much amusement to ahundred or more pedestrians who stopped to witness the strange sight. One little fellow’s wisdom was much com- mented upon. While his fellow scrambliers picked up a be und then lost a half a sec- ond or so in the delight of eating it, the youn lad referred to kept piling them into his ha as fast he could, and when the scramble had ceased, because there were no berries left to scramble for, he stood complacently against a building and took his time eating the fruit which he had secured, The place where the berries were dumped off ad just been sprinkled and was slightly muddy but the boys swallowed mud and all. They were not at all fastidious. The boxes which were not injured were taken aves in another wagon a few minutes after the accident. A $3,500 House. house in the next SUNDAY Fosr- DISPATCH.

The Remarkable Spectacle Seen at the City of Carbondale. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPpaTcu. SCRANTON, Pa., May 11.—One of the most re- markable spectacies ever witnessed in this section of the State was seenin the city of Carbondale, being no less than a session of the Common Pleas Court of Lackawanna Coun- ty held on the bank of the Lackawanna River. Some time ago the Scranton, Forest City & Ontario Railroad surveyed a route through the city ot Carbondale. It was the company’s intention to build the road from here to Forest City and there connect with the road which it was intended to build from Hancock, N. Y., to the latter place. The Delaware & Hudson Canal Co., which has always had amonopoly of the business of thisrich section, did not look with favor upon this scheme, and began qul- etly scheming to preventthe carrying out of the new road’s plans. It first directed its eyes upon the route which had been surveyed and thought there was its chance. The route had been surveyed along the west bank of the Lackawanna River between the river and the tracks ofthe Delaware & Hudson. <A num- ber of Delaware & Hudson work- men one morning, before the new company knew it, laid tracks along the whole route. A preliminary in- —4 . was obtained by the Scranton, orest City & Ontario road, but the Delaware paid no attention to it and kept right on with the work. At the hearing, not long after, the preliminary injunction was made permanent and the companies prepared for a great legal battle. Last week, at a session of the court, ua bombshell was thrown into the ranks of the Delaware & Hudson by the arguments of one of the attorneys for the new road to the effect that the former company had no right to carry passengers or freight,asthecharter only permitted it to mine coal and carry it to market. If this point is sustained by the court it will ruin the Delaware & Hudson road, as they do an enormous passenger and freight traffic. Last Saturday at the hearing the Judges announced that an open air ses- sion of the court would be held at Carbondale yesterday. Everybody was amazed, it being such an unheard-of proceeding. The Judges persevered in their intention, however, of trying the latter stages of the case atthe scene. The news spread around and yesterday morning when the train containing the party arrived at the Carbondale Depot many peo ple were present to see the distinguished pene The judges were R. W. Archibaid, obn Connolly and Frederick R. J. Gunster: for the Delaware & Hudson Co. there were ex-Judge Jessup and Real Estate Manager Weston from this city; tor the @Scran- ton Forest City & Ontario road, E. B. Sturges, President of the road; J. B. Rittenhouse, Chief Engineer ; Attorneys S. B. Price and C. H. Welles, and J. E. Burr, the local attorney. The Delaware & Hudson representatives were reinforced at Carbondale Superin- tendent Maville, Assistant Superintend- ent oO. X. Maville, Trainmaster 8. A. McCullen, Roadmaster R. W. Fellow, Gravity Superintendent McMullen and Civil Engineer Frick. These formed a line,and un- der the lead of Supt. Maville proceeded to the disputed territory. Close on their heels fol- lowed a crowd which was anxious to see how the Lackawanna County Court would appear on the bank of the Lackawanna. The ther- mometer by this time had climbed up nearly to 100 deg., and the perspiration began rolling down the foreheads of the august gentlemen and the attorneys whose tongues seemed to have been hung in the middie and worked both ways. The ＋ listened very patiently while the officials ofthe different roads showed them the adyantages and disadvantages of the tracks then lying in the middle of the road. At last the judges became tired of tramping around, and so, selecting the softest side of a log, they proceeded to listen to the running fire of remarks interchanged between the attorneys of the rival roads. The extreme heat seemed to have a tendency to warm up these gentiemen, and at times they became very much excited, and while gesticulating wildly with one paw, wiped the erspiration from their heated faces with a 1andkerchief heid inthe other. Shortly after noon the court adjourned. The court will probably rendera decision early next week, and in the meantime both companies are heartily praying for a verdict in their fayor— the de- cision is adverse the question raised will probably lead to almost endless litigation, and the other company because ifthe decision is not in favor of them they will not be able to dulld their road except at an immense ex- pense, as this is the only practical route.

PIERRE, Dak., May 11.—For some time hun- dreds of settlers have been lying in wait along the Sioux reservation forthe appointment of the Sioux Commission, and recently, when the news was received, many of them went on the reserve and staked out their prospective claims. The matter was called to the atten- tion of the Interior Department officials, and now adispatch from Washington announces that settlers will not be molested by the Gov- ernment if they go on the reservation peacea- bly. pick out the land and make no dis- turbance, and it is only a question of time whenthe lands will be ceded and thrown open. In consequence of this news the last few days have developed a great rush for the best parts of the reservation. Claim sbanties and improvements are beginning to speck the country across the river from Pierre, and with the news of the Government’s position in re- gard to going on the reserve there is no tell- ing what the next week or two will develop. Exodus From Oklahoma. CHAMBERLAIN, Dak., May 11.—A number of ‘*prairie schooners’’ arrived in this city yes- terday from the Oklahoma country and are camped north of town on American Creek, where they intend toremain until the Sioux reservation is thrown open to settlement. Judging by reports that are being received from along the line, these arrivals are but the beginning of a considerable exodus from the Oklahoma country.

Willie Hoffman, a 9year-old boy living at 1906 South Broadway, is inquisitive, but his curiosity gotthe better of his judgment this morning and he may lose his life in conse- quence. The Hoffman lad, with a number of companions, found a dynamite cartridge in the vicinity of Eighth and Gratiot streets and he determined to investigate the Hund.“ Securing two large rocks in the alley rear of 730 ca Eighth street, he placed the cartridge upon one of them, and with the other struck the shell a violent biow. A terrific explosion followed, the whole neighborhood ing startted by the shock. The accident took place at about 8:80 a. m. and Mr. A. J. Nichols, who resides in that vicinity, at once summoned an ambulance and had the Hoffman boy removed to the City Dispensary. Here he was found to be seriously if not fatally injured, several pieces of the brass shell having penetrated his chest and abdomen to a considerable distance. Dr. Jacobson dressed the wounds and the boy was then removed to bis home. THE DULUTH COAL-HEAVERS.

Advices from Antwerp state that home-grown wheat 1 — are 3 small. while the stocks of foreign eats, both on the spot and to arrive, amount to about 4.000,000 bushels only, which is unusually small for the season. According to recent telegraphic advices received in London from Italy, rain aud cold weather have pre- udicially affected the cereal crops in the south of the eninsula and in Sardinia. n Sicily the cold at- mosphere had also done some injury. In other parts of the country the inclement weather bad aot accasioned much harm though the backward state of an and agricultural work is general. Vienna correspondent of the London ‘‘Econo- mist’’ writes that there are some doubts whether the International Corn Market will be held at Vienna this year or not. The Government has received no- tice that the great corn merchants whose presence is of vital importance to the market will abstain from coming, because the anti-Jewish movement in Vienna alarmsthem. Count Taffe has held several — 2 with the Mayor of Vienna on the subject and both have tried to prevail upon the President of the corn market to do allin his power to persuade the foreign corn merchants to come as usual; and, if it is not possible to induce them to do so, to hold the market without them, as the giving up of so import- ant a factor in the business life of Vienna would be an irreparabie loss tothe city.

Meyer then drew his pistol and fired at them. he bali went wide of its mark and struck Hon. John Nolan, the youngest member of the Indiana Legislature, who was sitting on his front door step at the time. He is not seriously hurt. The matter was kept quiet for several hours, and an attempt made to Smother it on account of the * ge of the parties, but later in the night police offi- cers found Meyer and his late wife at her mother’s home. They were both arrested and taken to the police station, where a charge of shooting with intent to kill was placed against Meyer. His wife was bound over to appear as a witness.

RESIDENT BARNIE, Vice- President Waltz and the U this morning from Kansas Oity and are quartered at the Lindell Hotel. They de- feated the Cowboys three straight games and are now second in the champlon- ship race. Both the officers Dy & and the members of the team are feeling pretty jubilant over the showing they have been making, but Mr. Barnie will make no pre- diction as to where the club will eventually stand. Hesaysthe Kansas City scorers have a peculiar way of keeping score. It is next to impossible, he remarked, tor a man to make an error there. Every- thing is a base hit. Why, that man Long will lead the country in patting the way they score. No matter how he reaches base, so he gets there, it is a base hit. They give aim three and four hits every game. If he makes one the papers come out next day with about three for him. He is a bard, splendid hitter, however, and is un- questionably the greatest shortstop in the country, barring no one. No matter where you bit the ball heis there. Why, he actually goes out into left feld and throws men out at first on base hits. Inever saw anything like it. Heis simply wonderful! And best of all he ia not at all conceited. He takes the best of care of himself and tells me he is in bed every night before ll o’clock. We ought to have won that first game at Kansas City, too, butmade some very bad and costly errors which lost it. Neverthelessthe Kansas City scorers did not give us any errors, and count- ed the runs as earned. Our club never drew 80 well in Baltimore as it has this year. Wewere put down by the prog- nosticators as in the lower division of the as- sociation. They kindly put us down as lead- ers of the second four ciubs, but classed us with them and left us entirely owt of the four leaders. Now we arein second place in the race and it is a very pleasant, comfortable position. I would much prefer to be placed away down and work up than tc be put away up and work Gown. Kilroy ts pitching splendidly, and a peculiar thing about him is that the more you pitch him the better he does.

Chamberlain pitche tour innings forthe Browns, and as the gam was then won Deviin was put in and also proved very effective. Jack Boyle caught the first six innings and was away off in his throwing to bases. Meek, the Browns’ new man, caught the last two innings but was sO nervous that he could not even throw the ball straighttothe pitcher. He made a nice line hit. But eight innings were played when the game was called, the score standing 16 to 5. ase hits—St. Louis, 19; Columbus, 4. Errors—St. Loud, 5; Columbus, 7.

W. H. Jackson, one of the judges, stated from the stand that while it was evident McLaughiin had pulled Terra Cotta when the horse could have won, they had learned that he did so under orders of his employer who wanted to win with Santalene, Terra Cotta’s stable companion if possible, and that Santaiene’s jockey had cried out that he nad the race. it was merely an erroy of judgment on the jock- ey’s partand there was no intentional fraud by either the owner of the horse or McLauglhi- lin, whose, reputation had always been the best. The horse and jockey would, there- fore, both be reinstated. The announcement was greeted with applause.

Benches and Shelters to Be Provided by Commissioner Kiemm—Where the Funds Are tq Come From—A Chance for Gener- ous Children—Application of the Fund to ARK OCOMMIS- SIONER KLEMM bas had several conversations sack With Mayor Noon- an sinve the Post- “, DISPATCH Forest _. | Park Mission was . ouggested, and erer says that he will : — do ali in his power ; feuh ™ to prepare Forest „ Park for the chil- dren. A large number of benches will be secured for them and a space will be en- closed within which the children can play without fear of interruption. Everything vin be done for their comfort and safety that can be suggested. It is probable that commodious sbelter-houses will be built to afford protection in case of rain. The work of the mission will be inaugurated about the ist of June. Already there have been some Very warm days, and the need of such excursions as are proposed for the poor children has been felt by persons able to drive behind their own horses to the woods and green places. But June will probably show such continued heat that the need for the poor children will be terrible. Before the inauguration of the mission there is considerable PRELIMINARY WORK to be done by the Executive Board which will have control of the mission. This board which consists of N. O. Nelson, D. R. Wolfe, Thomas Morrison and E. V. P. Ritter will meet at the Mercantile Club on Monday after- noon at (o' clock for the purpose of taking up that work and deciding how itshall be car- ried forward. The mission, since the first suggestion in the SUNDAY PO8T-DISPATCH a week ago, bas attracted a great deal of attention, and has met with cordial support. Every expression heara on the subject has been in its favor. Every one who bas the lightest knowlege of how poor people live in St. Louis, and how many thousands of children there are to whom Forest Park is a myth has indorsed emphatically the mission that will give these littie ones an opportunity of enjoying a day jn that park. There will be three excursions to the park each week, if the plan now in the minds of the gentlemen having fn charge the details of the mission is carried out. The children will go OUT ON THE OLIVE STREET CABLE early in the morning, will be received at the park by ladies and gentlemen who will have charge of them during the day. They will have the fullest liberty to play in the woods, after a long and delightful cabie car ride. No restraints will be placed on them savesuch as are necessary for their own good. The park was designed asa breathing-place for the people of St. Louis, and these children have long been kept out of their share in it ou account of the great distance from theirhomes. They could not pry their way ont there and so have been prevented from any participation in it. It is expected that the children from differ- ent sections can be collected on separate days so that the numbers on each day will be about the same. Each week 1,000 children will be sent over the St. Louis Cable & Western Rail- way to LAKE RAMORA, advantage being taken of the very generous er of that railroad to transport so many lldren for nothing. It is expected that rere will be between 8,000 and 10,000 children to be sent to Forest Park. As has been said before money will be needed for the mission. The thildren of the city, who so generously contributed tothe Post-DIsPATCH Christmas tree fund for these same poor children, will be given an oppor- tunity of contributing to the Post-DISPATCH Forest Park Mission fund. As was the case with the Christmas Tree Fund, the 1 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MISSION FUND are coming in very slowly. But there will be a turn when the children of well-to-do parents realize what is intended to be done with the money. The Sunday-schools in many parts of the city will have special collections for the fund, which willno doubt swell it yery much. The money is needed to pay the cost of transporting the little ones to the park and providing lunch forthem there. The provis- ion wiil be on the same scale as bas been cus- tomary in former years on the Fresh Air Mis- sion excursions on the river. The children get very hungry after a few bours’ play in the fresh air in the woods and food is positively necessary. Without a lunch all the good effect of the day’s outing might be lost. IN arranging for yourtrip to the seashore do not forgetthe advantages offered by the ‘*‘Pennsylvania Special,’’ which leaves St. Louis daily at 8:10 a. m., making several hours the quickest time to Philadelphia, New York anni Atlantic coast resorts.

THE NEW WAR VESSELS A NAVAL ENGINEER’S OPINION OF THE ception of CRUISER CHARLESTON. burglary in the first degree, + Siegels, robbery. and all ente pleas of not guilt es Johnston, char an A Magnificently Built Vessel, Superior to Anything of Her Class in the British Navy — Remarkable Efiiciency of Her Battery—Some Faults to Be Corrected— Her Principal Weakness. HROUGHOUT my three “* years residence near the Mare Island navy yard,“ said Porter L. Cartwright of Benicia, Cal., who is at the Southern, I de- — came very much inter- ‘= ested in the matter of na- val construction, and especially since the Charleston began to get ready for: sea I, in com- mon with all other resi- dents along the sea coast of California, have watched every advance in ner construction with great interest. I visited the vessel some ten days ago and had her construction fully explained to me. THE NEW CRUISER. „It is a general impression that the Charles ton is an armored ship. This is not so, as beyond a protecting deck she is no more an armored vessel, at least as regards heavy guns, than one of the new transatlantic steamers. She is made of the finest steel, but the great advantage that this gives a fighting ship is to enable a much larger num- ber of water-tight compartments to be used, thus minimizing the effects of an injury to the hull, and to give a lighter weight in proportion to the displacement, allowing more margin for machinery and battery. Where the Charleston is said to exceed all foreign ships of her class is in the manner in which her coal bunkers are arranged to act as an armor for her boilers and engines, and also in the amount of coal that she can carry. But her steel sides are really no more pro- tection against projectiles of any size than if they were bullt of wood. „It is believed,’’ Mr. Cartwright went on to say, and this opiniou is confirmed by British — that in proportion to her tonnage she will have the most werful battery of any ship of her class afloat. Six-inch rifles are about the heaviest ordnance used in cruisers of this class in the English —7 while on her spar-deck the Charleston carries 8-inch guns of high power. The ship was built with remark- able skiil as regards standing the recoil, and severe tests bave proven that ber frame has ample strength 492 the racking effect of the discharues. he guns will also cover an extraordinary arc, and are excelientin every 4 Ww > * DANGER TO GUN CREWS. „One point, however, it is feared has been overlooked. The ship can stand the discharge of the heavy guns, but it is very questioabie whether the gun crews can, in case of any- thing like rapid firing. One of the officers told me that much anxiety was fell lest the simultaneous discharge of the 6+inch rifles on the lower deck and the 8-inchon the upper should disable every man working the smaller uns, and kill every one serving the upper. When fired parallel, as would in action often be the case, the shock must be tremendous, and while the frame of the ship will not be torn apart, the men may be thrown against the shields with force enough to kill, or at least stun them. This is the reason that the English have never used such heavy guns on such light ships. An experiment of this nature was tried with sheep in the eight-inch casement, and all were killed. Some changes will de made to avoidthis shock, but at any! rate the gunners will have a most trying duty to perform. niten Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. strength and wholesomeness, alum or phosphate powders. ROYAL pos EXTRACT fying and deceiving you. Extract Co., SCANTY SAIL POWER. „Another objection to the new cruisers,made by many of the officers, is their very small sail-power. To giveample coal aud engine room, and battery capacity, it was necessary to cut down the sail-power to a very small limit. This is in pursuance of English models, and there is no doubt that it adds largely to the efficiency of the vessel, but the Charleston is intended to act as acruiser and not to hang around near the American coast. Should she be sent out to prey on the commerce ofa nation withwhich the United States was at war, the question of coal supply would be a most serious one. By maritime law coal is contraband of war, and could not be obtained at neutral ports. This country does not possess a single coaling sta- tion outside of its own limits, and if the Charleston sbould put to sea ona hostile ex- pedition she would have to depend on what coul she could carry, about a three weeks’ supply, and such precarious supplies as she might pick up from captured vessels, This is the great trouble with our cruisers,and should they ever be called into service would, in my opinion, prove a most serious one.
