He says the city will impress the ignorant Eastern traveler as one of magnifi- cent smokes and stupendous smells. While yet outside the gates, a faint, subtle aroma, the ylang-ylang of the natives, permeates the atmosphere, andthe view becomes dimmed with the etnerized smoke so largely used for breathing purposes by this hyper-esthetical people. Large flocks of gayly plumaged wild ducks, startled from their repose by the sight of the pink sash and white tennis cap of the approaching Eastern traveler, arise from the fashionable pea-green swamps around One Hundredth street and whirl affrightedly away. Uccasionally a coyote starts from the long wild grass around the Douglas monument, and with asubdued howl of fear flees to a sanctuary in the underpinning of some six- teen-story palace along the high toned boule- vards. BEARS ARE FOUND in large numbers on the levee, and snipe- hunting in the gutters is a favorite amuse- ment with the higher class of tobacconists. The southern portion of the city is given up to the arraignment and execution of the hog. There is no trial by jury. It is nota case of $10 or ten days. The unhappy animal is simply dragged out by the ears, found guilty of living and in a jiffy his checks are forcibly cashed, and he loses whatever identity he may possess in the wilderness of pork.

With the assistance of a dozen jack-rabbits and two or three Navajo Indians the authri- ties might easily run the park asa small sec- tion of Arizona. The menagerie is composed of an ancient and honorable bear with a ring in his nose, a coyote whichi was captured on Drexel Boule- vard, a hand-organ monkey and two rac- coons. A few weeks ago some benevolently in- clined individual—who, by the way, does not VIEW OF CHICAGO FROM ONE HUNDREDTH STREET. The whole is surrounded by scroll work of sausages and leaf lard. Another ts Ananias couchant in cornered wheat. The eut and fit of Chicago clothes are of the spring-bottom and pannſer order, and the average dude looks like a ma- terialized nightmare. The citizens are very patient with these awe-stricken visitors. They recognize the fact that it will be several hun- dred years before the rest of the worid is edu- cated up to the Chicago standard. For some time past along the Atlantic coast it bas been popularly supposed that the bustle had disappeared from tbe face of nature. This is an error. It bas come sailing out fnto the West, wherethe sun goes down, and is doing business on the Same oid stand.

The E rn tourist with aclothespin on his nose feels humbly abashed to see the native Chicagoan strolling about the buildings sniffing the air with the delight born of a true conception of whatsmells good. d hog forms one of the staple articles ofthe bill ot fare. Rich golden butter, with alluring suggestions of dewy meads and run- ning streams, is manufactured by Chicago al- chemists from questionable and shady por- tions ofthe hog’sanatomy. It has all the virt- ues and but half the price of the true article. Unicken salad, better in every way than the enuine dish, is also compounded from the — deck and spinnaker boom of tie Chicago hog. SUNDAY OBS ERVERS. There is probably not a town in this coun that is so morally upright and conscientious as Chicago. One is confroated upon almost every bullding by such signs as these: Thies store will be closed on Sunday;’’ To An- archiste—Please do not throw bombs on Sun- day; In case of fire on Sunday please send the authorities a postal- card; Anyone cau isturbing the slumbers of a police- ee be dealt with according to It is one of the first princi. ieago intellect to take care of igh-class hote! offices thi like this: please not toe much. fees somethin suicide costs eral character of ———ů—— and the town out of ite otherwise healthy of building where Old Hutch, the king of Chica- go bunco-steerers, bas his headquarters. The edifice was erected by the contributions of the poorer classes and is a monument to the cereal god so extensively worshiped through- out the settlement. Herea pleasant system of legalized robbery may be observed. rge quantities of invisible wheat are stored up in visionary warehouses and peddied out in uantities to suit the sucker. Occasionally id Hutch, of whom, by the way, everybody stands in mortal awe, rushes in, splurges around in a general sort of way and then cries out: ‘*Behold, I have all this invisible wheat In a corner. What will you give me for it?’’ Then all the brokers who are not already broke look at each other and say: „Lol we are in the soup. Let us purchase his alleged wheat, even at his own price.“ When these deals are over Old Hutch is gen- erally $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 ahead. He then — anew pair of suspenders, takes a vacation and retires to his ciub which he owns. It is said that the old man can flip a fiap-jack and run a ten million-dollar corner simultaneously, and with equal grace and dex- terity. Nobody has ever vet succeeded in utting salt on Old Hutch’stail. Still, Old Ruteh never boasts of what he can do. He simply says nothing and lays for a chance to do itagain.

The only real fre — the settlement ever reside in the settlement—offered the munici- pal authoritigs a plaster of paris bust of La Salle, the famous Indian chief, who discov- ered Chicago. It was to be given a position in Lincoln Park. For a few days everybody was appalled at the magnitude of the scheme. Nobody had ever heard of that species of bust before. Their knowledge of that kind of thing was confined to sour mash and old rye. When the thing was fully realized the whole town went onatoot, and thousands of beery blessings were showered on the donor’s head. The bust is to be placed side by side with the statue of Mrs. O’Leary’s cow, and the two will doubtless go sailing down the coming centuries horn in hand. Outside of Lincoln Fark Chicago has but one cool, breezy spot where the uiltra-fashionable element can go to avoid the mosquitoes and flies. This is the summer resort conducted by Mr. Yattaw, a popular society gentieman, out on the lake. ‘‘Black Jack, as he is rev erentially termed, is agentieman of leisure and formerly led the german in the tip-top circles of society. His active mind realized the necessity for a place where the over- worked braiu of the Chicago dude could while away dull care, and the outcome of his genius is a resort of which all Chicago feels proud. New York bas nothing 1 it. It ie a sort of marine Bar Harbor moored to the gaunt gray piles of the Government pler. Here, where the blue waters of the lake flash in sapphire spray and the cool winds biow free over the long, level leagues of water, the swell element of societv gathers tospend the idle hours in eating peanuts or in listening to the dreamy strains of Strauss or Waldteufel murdered ona ghastiy hand- organ. Black Jack bas boen in jall seven or eight times, but as almost every other Chicggo oitizen has been there biniself many atime this little fact does not count against bim. Next to the og-packing indust and „Black Jack's watering place, Chicago’s divorce machines afford the most wonderful example of the town’s unique pre-eminence, In every justice’s office there is a mechanical arson, upon whose breast is the following egend: Join hands, drop a nickle in the slot and take out a marriage certificate. * „„ #87888 „„ „ eeeee To these marriage certificates there is a dt. vorce coupon attached.

Amid the darkness of hades there arises a wild tumult of murky waters, andthe car plunges down the steep into a roaring torrent, whose biack- ness is only equaled by its odor. Empty sar- dine boxes, ancient radishes and old cabbage- heads flit before the .fascinated gaze of the passenger, mute and melancholy ghosts ofa wrecked free-lunch. An occasional black bottle floats by onthe turbid waves, with the scent of its formér business. There is nothing noticeabie about the Chi- cago girl except her feet. She effects forenoon ennui and afternoon tennis. Her lite is gen- erally free from care, but fullof corns. Chicago girl before atennis net resembies a tall smoke-stack set upon two canai boats, and when such an apparition is seen skating rapidly around after a tennis-bail, it is a sight to be remembered. All the pretty giris are imported from Oshkosh or Bloomington. Oc- caslonally a smali shoe is seen in a show win- dow, butitisonly a bluff. Anything below sixes is regarded as very Chinese. The Chi- cago mother seldom chastises her offspring with the maternal slipper: One or two such cases of infanticide have been known to occur, but the courts have frowned upon it, and there is at present a law which reguiates the use of the Chicago foot and makes it possibile for the amorous dude to steal a kiss from his best girl without being kicked out several weeks in advance of the rest of the human race. A NEGLECTED GRAVE. At the northern end of Lincoln Park there is an old gravethat is worn by the storms and lichened with age. Its crumbling headstone leans wearily over the sunken bed of the sleeper, and the sad yellow sunlight streams down through greaning leaf and tangled brier like a pale memory of past life, On the stone is carved the following inscription: COC „% „% % „„ „%„%„„%„%„%„%„%„%„%„ Hee He ee ** „% „„ © „„es . Here lies the old woman who ved in à hoe. Phe neglect of this grave is, and ever will be, astanding reproach to Chicago. The chief beauty of Chicago undoubtedly lies in the stream which risesin the Bridge- ort slauguter-houses and empties into the ake. Its shining ebony-hued waters gleam like black satin in the sunlight, and the odors which arise from the oijly tide are as grateful to the Chicago nostril as Ceylon’s spicy breezes to a sun-stricken Cingalese. Hundreds of citizens walk along its banks to work up an appetite for their dinners. An occasional tug rants through the beauti- ful — — stirring up submarine wells of a ng gas and defunct Chicago fauna. Groups of hilarious bathers sit under the drooping willows along the banks, like enormous slime- covered frogs on the shores of some old Jurassic sea. Occasionally a water-logged horse comes floating slowly down the stream, with a horrible suggestion of icthyosaurus about the long, gaunt neck and fishy eyes, and all that is needed to com- plete a scene of the carboniferous period are the giant ferns, the great creepers and the dim, hot woods of mud and ooze. If Chicago would run this stream from a prehistoric standpoint and charge admission to the sight- seer, she could boom the Worid's Fair scheme with a guarantee fund that would cause New York to turn green with envy. Just here, however, is where the city makes amonumental mistake. Instead of carrying out the antediluvian idea, they insist upon parading the stream before the world as an exemplification of the perfection of the modern sewage system. Nobody but the native Chicagoan believes this. When the or- dinary visitor with a two-horse power nose is confronted by a forty-horse power smell, he is likely to scoff. The women use the river water in their vin- . in lieu of smelling salts. It has a delicate and penetrating perfume, and is sup- posed to fascinate the sterner sex. CHICAGO JEALOUS. Chicago harbors a wild jealousy of neigh- boring towns. Des Moines, with its electric > iS: * The Imposing Opera- House. street railways and beautiful location, is an object of deadly enmity since that city has made an effective bid for the World’s Fair. Elgin, lil., is regarded with a sneer On ac- count of its beauty and progress, and Mu- waukee is spoken of with asnarl. Chicago is regarded by St. Louis with a sort of mild con- tempt. The Mound City can afford to look down upon a town that wallows in its own filth, and whose oaly potentiality lies in the pocket- books of Eastern capitalists. Chicago’s position on the map would be lost to the world were it not for her odor. Of course Chicago will deny everything, because she is color- bliad. The town is big with open lots and duck ponds, but that is All. It is a national butcher shop where one does not dare to linger after urchasing a necessary chop or steak, and it s shoddy through and through. In spite of their endeavors the citizens have not yet learned to conceal the lone prehensile trail of their ancestors beneath the dress coat of fashion. And yet—oh, ye gods!—this is the town that is howling for the World’s Fair, an event which ail the world is expected to behold with admiration. Give Chicago an Eiffel tower and the city would look like a layer of caviare on a piece of black bread. Give her such exposition buildings as they have in Paris and the town would — a weary waste of smoke-stained shanties. Chicago ia at present swelled up with the pride of pure Americanism.’’ Granted that she is purely American! What of it? 86 is Mudville. Peanuts, popcorn and soda- water seem to enter largely into Chicago’s idea of a World’s Fair. The citizens point with pride to the different loéalities which they claim would be suitabie for such an event. Of these possibly half a dozen couid acgommodate Barnum’s circus, three or four aré neck deep in mud and slush, and the rest are two-acre lots used for cabbage fields by the Chicago farmer. | In ten easy You Can Learn French 1% nt 5. joining the large class of readers af the sux- DAY PostT-DisPaTcu.

BURG, Kan., August 20,—An unu- sually powerful com- bination, represent- ing vast capital and widespread influence has recently been organized to realize upon the natural ad- vantages of Pitts burg, Crawford County, Kan., by promoting the manufacturing interests ofthat city. Pittsburg is located 180 miles southwest of Kansas City, 847 miles west of St. Louis, and to furnish manufactures to the rapidly devel- oping empire of the Southwest, Pittsburg, but 12 years old, already boasts four great sys- tems of railway, the Frisco, Guif, Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe. To none of these railways has Pittsburg ever voted one dollar of aid. Allcame there vol- untarily, recognizing the wisdom and neces- sity of early securing a footing. To one familiar with railway building in the West the full force of the statement will be apparent. Afifth railway is now under way and other new roads are in contemplation. Contrary to history the roads have sought Pittsburg. The Kansas & Texas Coal Co. of St. Louis; the Cherokee & Pittsburg Coal & Mining Co., operated by the A., T. & 8. F. R. R.; the Western Coal & Mining Co., operated by the Missouri Pacific Railroad; the Pittsburg & Midway Coal Co., and other interests, now operate and control at Pittsburg an aggregate of 25,000 acres of coal lands, furnishing an un- limited supply of the best coal for manu- facturing purposes found west of Pittsburg, Pa. The coal belt, of which Pittsburg ia the center, comprises about 125,000 acres.

It will 1 — sixty thousand (60,000) cars to move the Kansas wheat crop of 1889. Thisisa powerful statement based on fact. It will require seventy-five thousand (75,000) cars to move the coal out of Pittsburg in 1889. This isa more powerful statement based on fact. Weigh it carefully. If, with a population of 8,000 after atwelve years’ growth, and with ali manner of ob- stacles to retard that growth, the coal output of Pittsburg requires 25 per cent more cars in one year than does the wheat crop of the en- tire State of Kansas, what be must the logical result when millions of outside and home cap!i- tal, combined with unlimited home and out- side influences concentrate their efforts to realize upon nature's gifts? Think it out! Pittsburg rates Al“ with loan and lite in- surance companies ~~ a Western business. It offers rare opportunities to men of moder- ate means. There isroom here for new enter- prises tn all lines of business. No branch is overcrowded. Capitalists will find Pittsburg To the active, brainy young man Pittsburg offers op- portunities which he cannot secure in any other city in the country. THE BOARD OF L is composed of unusually ublio-spirited material and liberal inducements are offered to deserving enterprises.

The vast amountof outside capital now operating in behalf of Pittsburg, together with the fact that 3, 000 additional employes will be at work in the new industries already contracted for, insures a population of 25,000 within the next twelve months. Grand Rapids, Mich., was bulit to 75,000 pop- ulation by means of her furniture factories. Birmingham, Ala., has reached a population of 30,000 within a few years on iron and coal. Indianapolis, Ind., with practically no natu- ral advantages other than agriculture to sus- tain her, has become a city of 125,000 people. Pittsburg, Kan., possesses the combined ad- vantages of Grand Rapids, Birmingham and Indianapolis, and addea to that, Pittsburg controls the greatest zinc and lead belt in the world. In other words, the diversified natural advantages,any one of which has built the large citiesofthe United States, are all concentrated at Pittsburg, Kan.

Hill, widely known among florists, and President of the National Floral Association, has just re- turned to Richmond, Ind., his home, from a trip to Europe, and reports that while en route from Belfort to Basie, in com- pany with Robert George of Painesyille, O., the train was stopped at the neutral line between France and Alsace-Lorraine and he and his companion were arrested as spies. They and their axgage were searched, their passports disregarded and they were not al- lowed to cross theline. Mr. Hill says the German officers were obstinate and cruel in their treatment of him. They were denied the privilege of continuing their journey, although here was noth whatever to support the suspicion against them and they were com- lied to hirea French peasant to take them ack to Belfort. Their treatment will be re- ported to the State Department. : Methodist Camp Meeting. By Telegraph to the Post-Drer4rcr. „ Mo., August 2.—The Southern Methodist camp meeting will close to-day.

The St. Louis & San Francisco Raliway Sued for 625,000 Damages by Jos. O. Howell. In the United States Court late this after- noon a sult was begun by Attorney Thomas Russell on behalt of Joseph C. Howell against the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Oo. for $25,000 damages for injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the company on Thursday evening, May 23, at Sullivan, Mo. The suit is the outcome of the derailment of a passenger train at that place ih consequence ot s act of some miscreant moving a couple of rails. Fully fifty poopie were more or less ip n the smash-up and am number of well-known St. train which was wrecked assenger which leaves the Union Depot at :15 o’clock. It was traveling at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred, and the wreck was 282 frightful. Nearly every with the exception of sleepers was injured, but fortunately only one fatally. any were maimed for life, however. The rails were believed to have been removed for the pur- pose of robbery, but if this was true some- thing must have taken place which balked the robbers, for they did not put in an appear- ance after the wreck. Joseph O0. Howelll, a carpenter, who re- sides in Litchfield, III., was a passenger on the train for Springfield, Mo. hen the train jumped the track he was thrown across the coach in which he was riding, and when he regained consciousness people were walkin over him. In the statement about the injure sent out he was put down as havin been bruised on the head, shoulder and 3. His injuries according to his petition filed to-day were muoh more serious. As a result ot them it is stated that he has partially lost his sight and hearing and is partially paralyz ad. e has, as the petition asserts, been prevented from pursuing bis usual avocation and has suffered so much that $25,000 is considered but a proper compensation to requite him for all he has en- dured and will have to endure in the future in consequence of his misfortune and the com- pany’s alleged fault. NO NEED OF ALARM. Texas Fever Not Epidemic in st. Louls—Few Cows Attacked. A wild-eyed report was spread yesterday that Texas fever had broken out among the dairies of this city and that one dairyman, George Kerson, on Theresa avenue and Man- chester road, lost thirty-five cows and other dairymen lost like numbers. The dairyman mentioned never had more than twenty-five cows and they are all alive. Up to date six cows have died ofa disease supposed to be Texas fever. 4 ths J. E. Sullivan, the Milk Inspector, said to- day: There is no need of this excitement. The public need not be afraid of eatching the fever from milk, as it is an accepted theory that when a cow is attacked with Texas fever she becomes dry and gives no milk. Iam in- vestigating and will soon make a report.’’ Dr. Dudley, the Health Commiseioner said: We are having very few cases of Texas fever. The first case reported was that of Mrs. Waleh at 2644 Adams street, who had six cows and three of them died. We are hunting up suspected cases and we direct everyone whose cattle are sick at all not to use the milk. There is Texas fever among our Cattle every year. It is brought here * the Texas cattle, who do not suffer with it, but when apative cow gets in the company ofa Texas cow it catches the disease. A native cow cannot spread it to any other cow, however. There need be no cause for alarm, as the dairies are kept in better condition now than ever before and more cows are fed in the pasture on account of the excellent weather, frequent rains and good growth of grass.’’ RELENTED AT LAST. Peter Textor on His Death Bed Sends for His Sister. The circumstances connected with the death of Peter Textor, which occurred at the City Hospital yesterday morning, are of an un- usually sad character. The deceased wasa farmer 60 years of age, living west of this city. Almost a year ago he was kicked ia the ab- domen by a fractious horse, and so severely injured that he was removed to this city and placed in the City Hospital for treatment. he old man was very patient in his suffering. When asked concerning the whereabouts of his relatives he refused to give the officials any information. His only sister, Mrs. Gardt- hausen, lived at 409 South Twelfth street, but he refrained from informing her of his sick- ness, knowing that it would cause her great worry and expense. Gradually he grew worse and the hospital r informed him on Sunday that he had but a few day to live. man received usual calmness, time gave the officials his sister’s address. at the same time —— a desire to see her once before he e Mrs. Gardthausen was at once informed of her brother’s condition and whereabouts.

Mrs. J. E. Barnard C the Work of the Fresh Air Mission of This Year With The high water mark was reached in the at- tendance on the Fresh Air Mission excursion to-day. Fully 2,000 happy, bright eyed ehild- ren, most of them accompanied by mothers and sisters, were taken on board the steamer Grand Republic at the foot of Olive street at 9:30 o’clock this morning and enjoyed a de- lightful, refreshing outing on the Mississipp!. The committee having the excursion in charge was composed of Mesdames Barnard, Leavenworth, Roberts, Mastbrook and Roeder; Misses Ewald, Learned and Bradley; Jerry Ten Broeck and Andrew Leslie. Dr. Wells of St. Jobn’s Hospital clinic also lent his valuable attendance. The Fresh Air Mission is one of four departments of the Children’s Aid Soct- lety and is under the immediate management of N. O. Nelson, who is ably assisted by the ladies and gentlemen mentioned. MRS. BARNARD, who is an enthusiast on the subject, and who has devoted a great deal of time and attention tothe excursions since their inception, re- ards them asthe most successful and oene- cial of the many charities of the society, und is justly proud of their increasing popularity with the people of the orer classes. A record has been ept of the attendance year by year and the figures furnished show that tbe mission has and is accomplishing all that is claimed for it. The first seven excursions in 1885 were at- tended by a total of 10,900 children; in 1886 by 14,585; in 1887 by 13,650; in 1888 by 10,065, and in this year by 14,072. In 1886, when the attend- dance was the highest, the temperature was also hich, higher, infact, than at any time since the mission began its good work, while this year the weather has been unusually cool and pleasant. Mrs. Barnard is authority for the statement that a larger number of children attended THE FIRST SEVEN excursions this year than the grand total of attendance atallof the excursions last year. To-day’s trip was the eighth this summer. Next Tuesday the ninth and last regular ex- cursion will be given, to be followed bya Fresh Air Miesion excursion for the orphans. Capt. Thorwegan took his boat up the river as far as Wilson’s Grove, an eighteen- mile ride, where the children where landed and allowed to play and frolic on the grass for two hours, after which they were taken on board again and treated to a light luncheon toa point in sight of Alton. The return trip was made in excellent time and the children landed at the starting point at about ö o’clock. One Week More Globe Shovel-’Em-Out-Sale.

Commissioner McDonald Returns From His Pacific Coast Trip. DULUTH, Minn., August 20.—Marshal Mo- Donald, United States Fish Commissioner, arrived here last night from the Pacific Coast. He has been on a tour of inspection through Colorado, Nevada, California and the Yellow- stone Park, and came here to inspect the fish hatchery, look after plans for its enlargement and give orders for hatching. He stated that he found the grayling in the Gallatin River in the Yellowstone Park. Find- ing the fish in the park the fourth place it is known to and is — avaluable discovery. Mr. Donald found only three other fish in the Yel- lowstone Park—ihe black spotted trout, white fish and bulitrout. The black spotted trout is an Asiatic trout, which has become prevalent in Pacific waters. Its discovery in the Yellow- stone shows that it has traveled over the main divide of the Rocky Mountains, high, In 1,500 square miles Yetlowstone Park there isnotafish. Next spring Commissioner Mc- Donald will plant half a dozen kinds of trout there, which willbe hatched here. He will utthe Eastern brook trout in the Gardiner iver, English trout add rainbow trout in the Madison River and Loch Levin trout, Land Locked trout and Lake Superior trout in Lake Shoshone and Lewis Lake.

Sprague Is a dealer in stock with headquarters in Roodhouse, III. He makes semi-occasional trips to St. Louis in the in- terest of his business. Yesterday evening Sprague ran hurriedly down the stairway at 1006 Pine street and called Policeman Dundon, who happened to be in that vicinity, demand- ing the arrest of Joseph and Nettie Tennelly, the residents at that number. On the strength of the charges preferred the couple as placed under arrest and jocked up atthe Jentral District Station. If Sprague’s story is to be relied on, asmaill- sized badger game was in operation there and it had been successful. He insists that he visited the Tennelly woman during the afternoon at ber request and spenta part of the day in her room at 1006 Pine street. About 7o’clock a man arenes’ upon the scene and, claiming to be the husband of the Tennelly woman, wildly denounced her for her faiehinennens, He then turued his atten- tions to Sprague and compelled the woman to take $40 from the victim’s person. Sprague resisted, when the newcomer sprang upon him, knocked himdown and soon ousted him from the apartments. Sprague promised to prosecute the offend- ers, but failed to appear in the First District Police Court this morning, and the case against Joseph Tennelly for disturbing the peace was dismissed for want of prosecution. Unless the Roodhouse map puts in an ap- arance before night to swear out a warrant or robbery against the woman the whole matter will be dropped by the police. Sprague bears a good reputetion in Koodhouse and stands well in business circles in this city. The Tennelly woman is out on bond. She re- fuses to make a statement in regard to the trouble. **T HEARTILY recommend Dr. Enno Sander's Tenfold Carisbad Sprude!

The Jefferson has a spacious and handsome club-house, and seems happy in uninjurious and dignified existence. THE ALIBI CLUB has a suggestive name, and it is probably the place where the members go when the other places are shut up. The United Service Ciub is what its name im plies—a social co-operation of the officers of both the army and navy. It has a large but rapidly changing membership.

In ten easy lessons by “SICK UNTO DEATH.” An Anonymous Letter Received by Mrs. Maybrick’s American Attorneys. New Tonk, August 20.—The New York at- torneys for Mrs. Maybrick received this morn- ing from an anonymous correspondent a let- ter explaining the use of the expression ‘*sick unto death, Maybrick’s letter to Brierly, and on which Judge Stephen placed much importance. The correspondent writes: **I yield tothe solicitations of friends to communicate with you on behalf of Mrs. Maybrick.

John Ingra- ham, pastor of Grace Episcopal Church in Dr. Ingraham was seen this morning to as- certain the reasons underlying the suit, and ald: The move to have new trustees for the estate appointed is not an unfriendly one to the present trustees, but on the contrary is in entire accordance with their desires. The stutus of the matter is briefly this: The laws of Kentucky require that when trustees of any estate undertake its sale they must give good and sufficient bond. The Kentucky estate of Mrs. Maybrick bas been allowed to take care of itself up to the present time, but now on account ot the probability of her death in a short time it was considered best to dispose nds in tect „Well, really, I could not say. „What is the extent of the lands?’’ „ don’t know that, either. lands are wild mountain lands, and up tothe present time it was not thought necessary to pay any particular attention to them. were only a partof the estate left by Darius Blake olbrook, Mrs. Maybrick’s grand- father.

No Bids Received. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 20.—The Ord- nance Bureau has brought to the attention of the Secretary of War the failure of manufac- turers to respond tothe advertisement invit ing proposals for the construction of a Wood- bridge wire- wrap gun. It is the belief in the bureau that the failure to secure a bid arose from the fact that very few if any of the private iron works are equipped with the plant necessary for the manufacture of this piece of heavy ordnance. A prime requisite isa lathe at least fifty-five feet in length, as the tube of the gun is to be twenty- five feet long. Another advertisement may be issued, butitis believed it will be nec- esesary for the government to undertake the construction of the gun. Ordnance officers are loath to do this, however,for two reasons. Inthe first place the Waterviiet Works, the only shop under the controlof the War De- partment capable of building the gun, are now busy, and wil doubtless be so for some time in making ‘‘type guns,’’ or guns which areto serve as models for the number of rifled cannon to be manufactured from the steel forgings lately contracted for at a cost of $1,500,000. the second place, —— desire to remove any ground for com- plaint by the patentees of the gun to the effect that their ideas have not been faithful! carried out by the army workmen, So it was the Intention to have the gun let by contract ata private workshop, under the personal superintendence of the inventor.

The Change in the Presidency of Lincoln Normal Institute, By Telegraph to the Post-Disratca. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., August 20.—The ac- tion of the Board of Regents last evening in removing Prof. Inman E. Page from the Presidency of Lincoln Normal School Insti- tute, and the substitution of Prof. G. N. Gresham of Kansas City in his stead, bas created no little adverse criticism among all classes. To-day groups of colored people can be seen on every corner discussing the subject. The general sentiment among them, in fact the almost unanimous ex- pression, is one of condemnation. In an in- terview with at least two dozen prominent colored men only one was found who approued the change. The general feeling expressed is that it will atly injure the success of the institute. he same feeling pervades the wuites and with fully as much unanimity. Prot. Page is remarkably popular here and especially with the white people, who regard him as the right man to be in charge of the _ institute. Your correspondent interviewed several members of the Board of Regents and found that their objection to Page is that he is thought to be rannical and overbearing with the teachers. hey claim that it has been quite difficult to retain a good teacher, especially if he bad any will of hisown. This difficuity to retain good teachers led the board atits meeting yesterday to investigate the cause, and after consulting with Profs. Gresham and Sears, both of whom had quit the institute to accept situations elsewhere, it was conciuded best to remove Page and substitate Gresham, while Sears was induced to remain by in his salary.

MEETING OF THE RAILROAD COMMISSION- ERS AT THE LACLEDE TO-DAY. Commissioner Downing Talks About the Appointment of Jasper N. Burks’ As- sistants—He Says That His Own and Com- missioner Hennessey’s Sons Will Get Very Small Places—A Pian of Probation. Railroad Commissioners Downing, Breathitt and Hennesséy came down from Jefferson City last night and held a long conference to- day with Jasper N. Burks, State Grain Inspector, at Commissioner Down- ing’s rooms at the Laclede Hotel. The object of the meeting was to complete the list of appointments for Burks’ office, select a location for the Grain Inspector’s office and make the necessary arrangements to place the new department of the State Government on a business footing. At this morning’s session it was decided to establish THE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS in the upper story of the new Mermod-Jac- card Jewelry Co. building on Fifth and Locust streets. The rooms will be suitably fitted up and the offices ready for occupancy by the Ist of next month. A major- ity of the appointments were also agreed upon, and some of the salaries to be paid were fixed. Regarding the pay of the inspectors and dep- uties, the commissioners say that compensa- tion will depend entirely upon the amount of work transacted by the office. It was the in- tention originally to pay the inspectors $1,800 per annum; but the latest estimates of re- ceipts will hardly justify the payment of such a sum to all of the men and the board have decided to allow it oniyto two of the inspectors, Messrs. Washington and Robin- son, while the seven other inspectors will be ald $1,200 a year. The pay of the clerical oree will be proportionately small. In a conversation with a Post-DIsrPpatcH reporter COMMISSIONER DOWNING who, as chairman, is also spokesman of the Board of Railroad Commissioners, said: ‘‘I am satisfied that none of the commissioners ever attributed Mr. Burks’ appointment as Grain Inspector to his influence as a politician or that any of them Said that he was selected because of bis splendid services to his party. r. Burks’ appointment was recommended by the Senators, Congressmen and all ot the leading office-holders of the State. Men who bold the highess positions inthe gift of the people of the State asked that he be appointed because of his well-known reputation for honesty and integ- rity. Some of those who recommended bim wanted to see him get the place because they considered that be had been slighted by Cleveland when he failed to get the United States Marshaiship, for which he had been strongly indorsed.

We will not give out the list of appointments for pub- lication yet, as they can’t be considered as permanent, for the reason that the inspectors will all be on trial and such of them as show themselves to be incompetent will be dropped and more capable men appointed in their stead. From now until the date of the opening ot the office on the Ist of next month these men will be assigned to positions with the force at present doing work for the Mer- chants’ Exchange, to give them an opportu- nity to learn the business. When the depart- ment is ready tor them only those who have demonstrated that they are capable and com- etent to perform the duties of the office will retained. In that way we hope to obtain an efficient force.

A Burglar Tries to Forcean Witness to Make Terms With Him. A warrant was sworn out late this after- noon charging James Clayborne, a negro, with blackmail. Clayborne is now under ar- rest on another charge, and the warrant was served upon him in his cell. It appears that about three weeks ago the negro Clay- borne entered the apartments of Bridget Dobbins, a servant in the employ of Clarence McAuliffe, a contractor, living at 2739 Thomas street, but was discoved and caught. A warrant for at- tempted burglary was sworn out against him and the case isnow pending. A few days ago Servant Bridget Dobbins received a letter from Clayborne which the latter had succeeded in smuggling out of jail. In language most foul, the negro insisted that on the night of his visit to her apartments he had witnessed McAuliffe’s infidelity, and be threut- ened that unless some money was forthcoming, Mrs. McAuliffe, . who is now out of the city visiting relatives, should be informed of her husband’s faithiess- ness. The Dobbins woman at once showed the letter to McAuliffe and it was at his ad- vice that criminal prosecution was com- menced, — Carondelet Jottings.

A report from St. Louis County was received here this morning that tramps had set fire to the oid Catiin homestead on the County road, at an early hour this morning. The Catiin house was vacant and unfit for tenants, but was looked upon as an old landmark. A surprise party was given Mrs. M Busch- man, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Etiing, at their residence on Broadway and Haven street last evening, prior to her leaving the city for ber future bome in Colorado.

THe centenarian ‘‘Jack’’ Haines, a sketch of whose life was given in yester- day’s Post-Dispatcu, can doubtless give a tip as to the best means of obtaining long life worth two of the Brown-Sequard elixir. It is safe to assume that a sound constitution uninjured by excesses, regu- lar habitsand a cheerful spirit are the chief things which have enabled him to live 102 years with the health and strength sufficient to continue daily work as an engineer. THERE was a great deal of bitterness engendered by Justice Fixr 's decisions in the California fight against monopoly, and this bitter feeling against him per- sonally is showing itself in the effort to make FI£LD outacriminal and TxnRT a martyr.

THE FIRST SUBSIDY SHRIEK. Mr. Cuas. 8. Hiri, Secretary of the American Industrial League, has issued through the Associated Press answers to a series of questions purporting to be put by 200 Boston merchants on the effects of the protective tariff with reference to the de- cline of American shipping. Mr. HILL’s screed is in the nature of a first primer on protection and subsidies for the lustruo- tion, apparently, of infants whose help- less ignorance induces them to swallow anything which is crammed into their mouths. The questions are a lot of straw figures which Mr. Hm knocks down in any way which suits him best. He begs them, avoids the main points and whips the devil around the stump generally. The mostridiculous feature of the answers is the statement that allowing owners of foreign-built vessels to take out American registers would injure every American man, woman and child, and would rob American industrial interests. He ex- claims in patriotic horror, ‘‘Furl the noble banner (American flag) before disgracing it before the world. As he admits that few modern iron or steel ships are built here and American shipping has gone to wreck, itis difficult to see how allowing American owners of foreign-built vessels to sail them under the American flag could injure any one, andas the noble banner is already. furled on the high seas the patriotic wail is evidently out of order. It is impossible in brief space to reveal the mass of inconsistencies and illogical conclusions of Mr. HILL and it is unneces- sary todoso. The pith of the whole thing is a plea for subsidy. It is the first shriek of the bounty jobbers and plunderers. Instead of admitting that the tariff wall we have built is the real cause of the de- cline of American commerce and shipping, the purpose is to blind the eyes of the peo- ple to the truth and foist on Congress a monstrous system of plunder and oppres- sion under the guise of necessary subsi- dies for American shipping. The Three Americas Convention is to be held in October. It isa grand opportunity to impress Congress with the need of better facilities for ocean and gulf trans- portation. And with this whip an at- tempt will be made to drub the country deeper into the mire of unjust taxation and bounty favoritism for the benefit of greedy plutocrats. —_ oa . — | urn " CAMPAIGN LIES OUT OF SEASON. Of three negroes indicted five years ago for firing at a South Carolina Sheriff’s posse and killing one of the white men acting under the Sheriff’s orders, two were tried and acquitted. One, who escaped to Pittsburg, was recently arrested there on arequisition. The previous acquittal of the other two did not prevent a number of Republican papersfrom representing his extradition as dooming him to certain death at the hands of a mob, even if a South Carolina jury should do so strange a thing as refusing to order the execution of a negro accused of killing a white man. \ And now, since he has not only been ac- quitted bya jury of white South Caro- lians, but guarded by Carolina troops from a mob of the murdered mans friends and sent back safe to Pittsburg, the Chicago Tribune publishes a long edi- torial tirade on the subject, the character of which may be inferred from this sen- tence: It is the first instance we can remember where a negro accused of murdering a white man inthe cotton States has escaped lynch- ing, the gallows, or the penitentiary, and the wonder grows when one reflects that this was the work of a white jury in the worst negro- hating section of South Carolina. This in the face of the previous acquittal of two other negroes who were indicted for the same murder, and tried by white juries in the same vicinity—a fact pub- lished generally by the newspapers pend- ing the extradition of this very negro! Such gross misrepresentations of the people and the current history of any State or section of this Union can no longer serve even a pitiful partisan pur- pose. Intelligent people no longer be- lieve them, the ignorant have suffered enough from them, the whole country has grown tired of them, and the time is not far distant when no newspaper with the slightest pretension to respectability will permit its columns to be defiled with them. . ACCORDING to the report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics there were strikes in 2,768 establishments in that State from January 1, 1881, to December 8, 1886, or an average of 462 per annum, and only 54 per cent of these were suc- ‘cessful. The average price paid for min- ing coal with 75 cents of tariff protection was 80.2 cents per ton in 1883. In 1886, with the same protection, it was 71.2 cents per ton. Such a number of unavailing strikes and so many thousands of miners now starving in Illinois because mine owners can not afford to pay them living wages make an object lesson showing how protection distorts the labor system of the country by giving mushroom life to indus- trial enterprises that attract laborers with living wages for a time, only to leave them starving at last.

It proves conclu- sively that Chicago has ample space, such as it is, for the World's Fair. Our own space forbids the reproduction in proper proportions of the Chicago foot, and an impression of that distinctive feature of the Windy City, its prevailing and over- powering odor, can only be given by the liberal use of dashes. Otherwise, how- ever, a faithful picture of Chicago as it is may be gained from the article. — — gtẽ— Ir seems to be impossible to rid the city of the old gas monopoly in one form or another. The acceptance of contracts for electric lighting was thought to be a long step in the direction of free competition in municipal lighting, but from behind the new franchises the head of the Gas Trust syndicate is popping up insight. Still a firm hand in the city government will as- sure the advantages in economy already gained, and will assure more, no matter who controls the granted privileges. The Truth About Wool Trade Failures, From the Philadelphia Times (Protectionist). Few of the woolen houses lately forced to suspension have giyen the honest reason for their failure. The latest suspending woolen manufacturers—David Crowther & Son—state the truth when they say that ‘‘the failure to get free woolwas atthe back of it. That single sentence tells the whole story. The failure of Lewis Bros. & Co. and the failure of the scores of woolen establishments during the last six months are due solely tothe crushing taxes imposed upon wool, chemicals and dyestuffs. Our woolen Industries are literally taxed to death; and while our manu- factories are crippled, our labor unenfployed orforced to starvation wages, and the whole people madeto pay extortionate prices as consumers, we are simply protecting English mills and English labor. There is no labor to protecton wool, and should not these pain- ful object lessons of multiplied failures and universal paralysis inthe woolen industry make people speak the truth and force dema- gogues to protect American industry from crushing taxes? The,Chinese Wall and the Subsidy Ladder. From the New York WORLD. Subsidies to steamship lines is ready sug- gestion of the surplus-spenders to President Harrison as a means of carrying out his wish to promote the rebuilding of our American merchant marine and the restoration of the great carrying trade which we once possessed on every sea. But if foreign trade be the undesirable thing which President Harrison has declared it to be why subsidize steamers to engage in it? In the language of the Bird- o’-Freedom Protectionist from the greut West. What is ‘abroad’ to us?’’ Build the Chinese tariff wall higher and stick tothe „home market. New Yerk’s Niggard Millionaires. From the Philadelphia Times. New York’s claim to the Fair is only a mat- terofmoney. It is a rich city, singularly lacking in public spirit when it involves a loosening of the purse strings. It has not yet bullt the projected Grant monument. It was years in building the pedestal for the Bar- tholdi statue. It was niggardly almost in inhospitality in the early stages of the prep- arations for the presidential centennial. This is a case where New York must look to New Yorkers for a sum far beyond the habitual ideas of outlay that rule in that rather parsimonious town. Counting Chicago’s Unhatched Eggs. From the Chicago Times. The names of millionaires will not take much room. Itwillbe an enlivening and an en- couraging day when, instead of indulging such vague generalities as have been quoted, a list something like the following is printed in the daily papers: Two subscriptions of $500,000 each: M——il F—d, P——p D.

Colton died in Ban Francisco, she was connected with his death. With bated breath some people said it was an- skin, well-cut features, a little Inclined to Roman prominence; shoulders, bust and arms of statuesque mold; a truly regal-looking woman.

Cannot something be done to remedy the trouble? Is it rightto inflict so miserable a nuisance upon apy community? The foul odor impregnating the air renders it impossi- ble for one to sit outside of au eveniag, and morever itis breeding disease. Even passing pedestrians make comments upon it, and we think it high time that sometbing should be done, and that immediately. CITIZENS. August 20, 1889. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. W.

IT DEVELOPS AS A SIMPLE GAME OF EUCHEE BETWEEN RIVAL SPECULATORS. | The Merchants’ Exchange Manipulators Gather in the Profits While Those of the Mining Exchange Hold the Bag—Funds Raised, and a Committee of Investiga- tion Appointed in a Meeting, HE members of { the Merchants’ Exchange who S have uhdertak- en to organize mining com- panies to oper ate on the Min- ing Exchange, ean well afford to look on at the fun as if they had no hand in it. They 3 have in their preliminary effort, with the Tourtelotte, been very successful, though quite a sensation was raised on Saturday in connection with the manner in which the deal was worked. This sensation was continued yesterday, and also warmed up considerably. As stated in the PostT-DIsPaTOH yesterday, at the close of the Mining Exchange call Vice-President J. J. Mullally announced that he nad consented to the use of the Exchange Hall for the purpose of hold- ing a meeting of the Tourtelotte stockholders, and he had also been requested to announce that a meeting would be held at 8 v. m. When that hour arrived there was a very good at- tendance, a great deal of joking between peo- ple who were on the outside and those who had failed to get out, and an impatience on the part of the iatter to get down to business. But still the meeting was not called until 8:45, at which hour Mr. Mullally took the chair and called for order. Ed Stettinius was elected Secretary, Mr. Mullally continued as Chair- man without anything being said as to who should be chosen for that office, and the Dall opened. To ascertain THE STOCK REPRESENTED was the first step to be taken and preliminary to this all who did not bold or represent stock were requested to withdraw. It is not a proud thing just at this stage of the proceedings to stand up and say: I am a stockholder of the Tourtelotte and did not see the signs of the times in time to get out,’’ and asthe crowd began to file out it looked as if but few would be left. Among those who filed out were a num- ber of traders who had come up from the Merchants’ Exchange to see what was going on. It is presumed they had had reliable tips to get out, end had sold their stock at a profit. At last quiet was restored and the doors closed, and the poll proceeded. At its con- clusion it was found that the stock actually represented amounted to 62,200 shares, a majority of the whole, which is only 100,000 shares. Then it was figured that there was fully 30,000 shares held on the outside that was not participating in the meeting. The only reason for this was that it had been hasti- ly called, and the holders of the stock were probably not aware that a meeting was held. The next thing was what todo. Mr. Mullally read the Colorado law on the subject, but very little consolation was derived from it, as no one was present who could enlighten the meeting as to the bearing the Colorado law would baveon the transactions in Missouri, Then came a demand for the by-laws of the company, but out of the holders of the entire 62,200 shares of stock there was not one gen- tleman who knew how to get a copy of the by- laws. There was nothing else to do then but to turn the gathering into AN EXPERIENCE MEETING, and this was done. Mr. Mulially repeated his very briefly as it has been given already. B. O. Clark, who ig generally supposed to have sold considerable stock for the insiders, said he had gone to the company’s office in search of information and had been shown a statement that the company had expended $12,807.08, and had received but $10,000, leaving it in debt $2,807.08. This was due to Mr. Heim. President Helm also owned the machinery on the mine. He had also found that under the leasing agreement a five days’ stoppage of work would forfeit the lease. He also ex- lained that Helmand Miliikin had bought he 100,000 shares of stock from the company that itdid not belong to the company, an that they had a perfect right to sell it, and it was nobody’s business how much they solid. Wm. A. Ross said he had taiked to Mr. Milli- kin, and that he had said it was their busi- ness and not that of anyone else. He had replied that he thought it was the right and privilege of the stockholders to know who their associates are, but Mr. Millikin still thought this was their business alone, and they proposed to run it. Benj. Aitheimer wanted to appoint a com- mittee without any further talk to consult an attorney, and J. C. MacGinnitie thought they could get considerable consolation by striking the stock off of the call board. This raised = a storm, but it was quickly frowned own, Mr. Mullally saying it must de under- stood that the meeting had no connection with the Mining Exchange. Another motion to ask the Exchange to investigate the Tour- telotte was given a like chilly reception, THE CHIEF SUFFERER. H. C. Grawe, who, as stated in the SUNDAY PoOstT-DISPATOH, created quite ascene in the company’s office, then resumed the experi- ence relations. eowns about 18,000 shares, much of which was purchased at high prices. He had, he said, consulted Messrs. Helm and Millikin before he purchased any stock, and had gone to them several times while he was making his purchases. A week or ten days ago he had been told that the company had $1,000 in ite treasury, and a calculation that on the contract plan which they were following they would have a nice little surpius when they reached the point where they ought to strike the ore body. There was atleast no danger of an assess- ment inside of sixty days. This he had been told on Thursday last. The statement had also been madeto him 1 oprses- that the only stock out here was 18,000 shares sold and 20,000 shares loaned to J. H. Blessing. In ad- dition to this there was stock to the amount of 4,000 shares in Aspen. On Thursday he had asked Mr. Miliikin if a compromise would be made with Mr. Blessing and “received the reply, No, not under any circum- stances; Mr. Biessing will have to return the stock. Mr. Grawe added that he had told Mr. Helm that while he was willing to risk his money on the 1 4 he would not go in it there were any deep laid plans of epeculation. W. A. Ross thought the story of Mr. Grawe was a most important one, and showed the necessity fora thorough investigation, Mr. Millikin had told him he had settled with Biessing, notwithstanding the assertion he had borrowed a second $20,000 on the outside. Alter further discussion an assessment of oc a share was agreed to, to secure legal ad- vice, and H. O. Grawe, A. H. Bauer and Eu- gene Amann were appointed a committee to engage an attorney. THE ONLY QUESTION with the Tourtelotte holders who did not join in yesterday’s meeting is one of the advisa- bility of kieking on a gambling speculation. | That is all that has ever been claimed for the Tourtelotte venture, and it has been held up as a good gamble. The only thing now is that the assessment may have been delayed to en- able the insiders to get out at the market ana buy back on the break, just as the immense fortunes of the Pacific Siope millionaires were made by means of assessments. P. J. Me- Morrow, who did not attend, takes this view of it. **J will admit, he said, ‘‘thatIam in the soup on this, and that we have all been done up, butIdon’tsee what we're going to do about it, There is no use of kicking ina matter o@this kind, rye I have expressed my mind freely to the officers of the company.

The Sad Death of Charles A. Absolem, an Oxford Graduate, New. Tonx, August 20.—The steamship Mu- riel of the Quebec Line reached here yesterday from the West Indies. Her Captain reports that by the falling of aderrick on July 27, while the Muriel was loading cargo at Port of Spain, Trinidad, the Muriel’s purser, Charlies A. Absolem, and the West Indian Superin- tendent of the Line, J. H. Dupont, were killed. Absolem’s was a wasted lite. A graduate of Oxford at the head of his class, well bred, a thorough English gen- tleman, with excellent opportunities, and advantages such as fall to the lot of few men in this world, he threw himself away and be- came a wanderer without a home. He was a great traveler and had read and seen almost everything of interest on earth. In his youth he was one of England’s most famous cricket — and his name will recall to every ritisher at home and abroad the stirring matches often to fifteen years ago between Oxtord and Cambridge. He had no superior as a bateman and was perhaps the fastest run- ner that ever belonged to a Universitv eleven. For several years he held the record at 100 yards. When Lord Harris started on his tour around the worid at the head of as strong a team as ever left the tight little island, Ab- solem was his right-hand man. For six months they played cricket in the British col- onies, being treated royally wherever they went. In Australia this remarkable man be- came the talk of the Continent dy playing his ames bareheaded in the broiling sun, with he thermometer registe deg. Not even a native was bo age of performing such afeat. Thehabit of going without his hat rew on him in early life and clung to the end. When he broke loose from bome associations on account of a love affair. it is said, he bought a rifle and à dog and for eight years buried himself in the Rocky Mountains. Here he became the friend and familiar of numer- ous Indian chiefs. Many tribes in Montana and Washington Territory came to know him well and to trust him. He was the especial favorite ofthe Spokanes and from them re- ceived a curious name whieh signifies in En- glish ‘*White-Man-Who-Never- W ears-a- Hat. While hunting one day Absolem fell off a ledge which brought him to New York where he might find proper treatment. He was in a hospital here for several months and when discharged accep the office of purser on the steamer Orinoco, plying be- tween this port and Bermuda. From that vessel he was transferred to the Muriel in April in order that he might have a look at the West Indies. It soon became known through- out the Windward Islands that Absolem was aboard, and wherever the Muriel touched the colonists besieged him to come ashore and join in their games of cricket. His fame pre- ceded him wherever there was a bat, a ball anda wicket. While in the tropics Absolem did what no West Indian would dare to do, slept on deck bareheaded in rain and dew. Aboard ship he was never known to undress and go to bedina civilized way. He had an iron constitution. CAUSED EXCITEMENT. The Trouble Between Officers ofthe Keuka Assembly. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. ROCHESTER, N. T., August 20.—Much excite- ment was occasioned at Keuka Parx and Penn Yan yesterday afternoon, when it became known that C. C. Whitney, Superintendent of the Keuka Assembly, had been arrested ona warrant for forgery, sworn out by the Rev. Dr. Geo. H. Ball, President of the the Central Baptist Association. The warrant was issued by United States Commissioner Gorham of Rochester, and Mr. Whitney was arrested in the Park in the morning by Deputy United States Marshal Bardwell and taken to Rochester on the noon train. The facts in the case are given as follows: Over a year ago, when the Keuka College Building was begun, a New York draft for $100 was sent here payable to the order of Geo. H. Ball. The money belonged to the associ- ation, andin the absence of Dr. Ball, Mr. Whitney consulted with the other members of the College Committee and the bank officials of Penn Yan and indorsed the draft as they needed the money for immediate use on the college building and turned over the proceeds to the credit of the college fund. The indorsement was „Geo. H. Ball, by O. O. Whitney,“ on the back of the draft, and was done only after consultation. Itis stated that of late there has been considerable bad blood between Ball and Whitney, and the latter started what was known asthe Keuka Assembly Herald in op- position to Ball’s paper. A rupture occurred between them on Saturday, when the clergy- man came to Kochester and swore out the warrant as stated. Whitney was brought to this city last night and released on $1,000 bail to ow for examination on Wednesday in this city. AN EFFECTIVE BOYCOTT. Republicans Refuse to Patronize a Demo- cratic Postmaster at Fleetwood, Pa. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATOR. HARRISBURG, Pa., August 20.—The Post- master-General, when he appointed a man for Postmaster at Fleetwood, Berks County, se- lected ayoung man who is studying to be a minister of the Presbyterian Church. But it seems that the young fellow is a Democrat and the Republicans in that Gibraltar of Democracy are greatly incensed over the ap- pointment. Notwithstanding the fact that he igan exemplary fellow and that the Post- mastership will help him along with his studies, they bave instituted a vigorous boy- cott. They will not patronize him. A large number of the radical Republicans have formed a club and hired aspecial carrier to carry their mail to andfrom an office three miles distant. The young man feels his posi- tion keenly, and when it is known that the re- ceipts have been cut down two-thirds it can readily be seen that the boycott is effective. FATAL SHAM BATTLE. A Strolling Colored Minister Kills “Black Hawk” Porter, a Tough. NEW YORK, August 20.—Early this morning William Ball, colored, a strolling minister, stabbed and killed a tough negro character known as Black Hawk“ Porter in a Bleecker street dance-house. Ball, in a statement to the police, said that the killing was acci-. dental, each bad a knife and were only fighting a sham battle. Ball was held. In Porter’s kets w found letters from bis mother at Nashville, Tenn., showing that she had been sending him small remittances and advisin him to keep away from bad company and ve all notto steal.

CIAL FIELD OF THIS CITY. —— A Representative Delegation From Wichita ' Conférs With St. Louis Merchant. Growth of Southern Kansas and |, Advantages to This City—A Bright Prog pect for the Future. The delegation from Wichita, which arrived in the city yesterday, and was in conference with a number of leading wholesale dealers and members of the Merchants’ expressed its complete at the progress made. A member of the delegation, when questioneg concerning the present condition and future prospects of Wichita, said: There never was so bright a future before Wichita as at the present moment. Many people in the East and even in the West, where they ouzht to know better, have been in the habit of rea. garding Wichita as simply a booming town, with all the qualifications and subtractions which the use of that adjective generally ne- cessitates. A NOTICEABLE ALTERATION. In days gone by there seemed to be much to justify the opinion that Wichita was one of those towns, by no means rarein some sec- tions of the country, which sprang from not)h.- ing, was taiked and written up tremendously, and after uninformed capitalists had been misied into investing by the well simulated enthusiasm and confidence of the Inhabitants, sank back to ita proper position of insignifi- cance. When Wichita. first began its phenomenal growth, it was not strange that many believed it to be one of those cities on paper. But to-day, while mote business is done than ever before and the city is growing at a tremendous rate, we can no longer be classed as a booming town, as we have too much to show in the way of accomplished fact to permit of doubts as to our future. Wichita is here to stay and is as flrmly established as New York. GENERAL IGNORANCE CONCERNING KANSAS. „No one familiar with Kansas can bave failed to have had his attention called to the singular ignorance which prevails in the East concerning the development and capabilities of our State. The Easterners know the ucre- erage of Kansas, and the fact that it produces large quantities of wheat and corn, but to this their knowledge is generally limited. I lave had this called most disagreeably to my atten- tion on many occasions. When you tell a New Yorker that there are more miles of railroads in Kansas than in his own State, he looks at you witha pitying smile. When tie statistics are presented this changes to a stare of astonishment. Not only has Kansas more miles of railroad than New York, but its mile- e exceeds that of — State in the Union. This is a fact not generally recognized, simply because few people have taken the trouble to keep up with the wonderful inarch of railroad building in Kansas. To the best of my knowledge and belief it cannot be ex- ampled in the history of the world. Not only are there two yreat transcontinental lines passing through the State, but there are more than a dozen lines lying principally within our own borders, while we are extend- ing toward the Gulf of Mexico at several points. Those who knew Kansasten years ago have no idea of the State as it at present exists. Its whole surfaceis gridironed with rails, and no point is far distant from trans- portation facilities. ST. LOUIS AND SOUTHERN KANSAS. Great as has been the growth of the entire State, Southern Kansas is easily first inthe race. It is in this quarter that three-fourths of the improvement has taken place. In dis- tricts where farmers burnt their corn for fuel, becanse it cost too much to haul it to market, we have now large and flourishing cities, Coal has been discovered in a great num- ber of localities and in practically un- limited quantities, Manufactories have sprung up on every side, our sorghum industry is causing the Louisiana sugar planters much uneasiness, and our agricultural products go all over the world. There can be no question that Wichita now is, and must remain, the metropolis of Southern Kansas, as it is the great railroad center, has rich and — oe undeveloped back country and is oblig to control the trade of an immense district to the south is rapidly coming to the front. All this is due to the enterprise of the railroads. Instead of waiting until the country had been settied the Kansas lines boldly pushed out into what was practical! a wilderness and trusted to American readi- ness to seize opportunities to attract enough population to sustain the lines. The condition of Southern Kansas to-day isan uncontrover- tible proof of the wisdom of this policy. Kansas ig scarcely more interested in its own development than St. Louis should be, and from our experience here we have no doubt that the citizens are alive to this fact. The experience of Wichita is but a sample of that of other cities. At first it was easy enough to supply all needs from Kansas City, and as that was the nearest distributing point we n dealt there. To the rapid growth of Kansas the increase in the business of Kan- sas City is principally due. A RICH FIELD.

Later he bid 28% and offered at 30, but no one seemed willing to either buy or sell. There seems to be a feeling against this stock on account of the raid on Tourtelotte, though this reason would not account for Mulially’s course, as he is known to be but a very small holder of the latter stock, and hence could pot bave the feeling necessary to such a course of action. Whatever itis, however, the movement was successful, and the market was considerably lowered. It was aided by the entire absence of any supporting in- fuence. There was no news from the mine. * es — There were a number of large orders in on Pine Grove, but there was not sufficient stock to filithem. On cali sales were made at 46%, 47 and 48%, the latter price being the ruling one. Ihe sales of the day. aggregated 5,400 shares at 4712, 600 at 48% and 100 at 46%. The latter was bid strongly throughout the ses- sion, with 47% and 48% asked. There was no news from the mine, and the only explana- tion of the strength was the number o — * ing orders compared to only scattering sell - ing orders. It was expected news of the clean-up would come in, but it nad not been received up to the closing bour. West Granite was in very strong demand and higher. On call 200 shares sold at 91%, but later 500 shares sold at 92%, and that was bid for 1,500 shares. The market closed 92% bid, 93% asked. The only explanation of the strength of the stock was in buying orders, which seemed to be very plentiful at about the present market values. There was no news on the mine itself. * . 5 Tourtelotte had but one sale, 100 shares at 6. The market at the close was 542 bid, 642 asked. From appearances the holders of the stock have decided to stand by it and await devel- opments, rather than lose what they bave in- vested. The committee of stockholders ap- pointed yesterday met this morning and con- suited several attorneys, but found that noth- institution of which St. Louisans have but little knowledge. It owns seven claims and two mill sites on the Dolores Mountains at Rico, Colo. All of these are opened up well and could ship largely if they had a railroad. Denver offers a market for all of the ores, which are silver, lead and iron, and very valuable for fluxing. A shipment of 800 tons ony $8 to $10 net, while 1,900 pounds, the ast shipment, netted $16 in Rico, and would have netted $30in Durango. The large stock- holders are J.C. H. D. Black, Louis Holt- haus, J. N. Churchill, O. H. Smith and Mrs. R. C. Kerens of this city and Augustus St. Gem and Henry Rozier of Ste. Genevieve. The ore is on top of the ground and is mined out like limestone. — There was considerable trivolous bidding on callon Mary ae this morning and it should be checked. he market stands at the bid, though one broker remarked at the close that if they wanted it ne would sell at $300. The offer at this was only checked by the fall of the gavel. The Golden West had a letter from Superin- tendent Loss in which he said the mine was worth 50 per cent more than on his former report. he ore in the new strike is keeping up good in body and high in gold. He had just sent samples by express. There was more talk of the new gas stocks and securities to-day, but no transactions 80 far as could be learned. The bids for common stock declined to 20. — * — The trust certificates market was weak ex- cept on sugars, which opened at 109%, or 2% above the close on Monday. From that they declined to 108, and then advanced to 108%. Cottons were weak, opening at 49%, declining to 48, and advancing to 49%. Leads were 222, 21% and 22%. Whiskys were 47% ex-dividéend, % per cent per month. * * * * The clearings kept up well to-day, being $3,217,617, the balances being $694,268.

Street Commissioner Burnett was asked to-day why Grand avenue was left in such a disgraceful condition, and replied: „Because the property owners on that avenue want it that way. Ever since the cable road was built 1 have been trying to get the people to allow me to improve the street, but whenever I make the proposition they rise up en masse and oppose me. I want to pat down a wooden pavement like that south of Easton avenue, all the way to the Fair Grounds and make Grand avenue a thing of beauty and a pleas- ure drive. The property owners can’t see it that way, however, and will not agree to pay for the improvement. The last timelI brought > the subject I was opposed by per cent of the parties interested. Since then I have gone omen en and argued and am pleased to say I have made many con- — — My friends are also helpiag me in the matter and with such success that I think I willl make another dash at it next week or in the near future. If I do not carry my point, 1 will put my men to work and place the street in good condition. NMwiil bea disagreeable ill for me to swallow, asl have worked real ard to make Grand avenue a handsome street. Itis now the worst looking street in the oity while it has all the natural facil- ities for becoming the dest. I ar- gue that the more publicity given certain K the higher the value of the land and if Grand avenue is made a grand drive for the hundreds of vehicles out every Sunday, the vaiue of the property will en- hance. I hope the property owners will see it — this light when I make the proposition again.’’ — The Elevated Road. The Board of Public Improvements met this afternoon, and while in seasion the New York capitalists who are furnishing the money for the elevated railroad scheme dropped in. This party was composed of Messrs. A. Bonzano, Goddard, Lauterbach, Ernst Thaliman, Stetheimer and 8. F. Scott, The gentlemen were cordially received, and after the introduction Mr. Lauterbach, who is an attorney, made an address. He said the New York capitalists had not pledged their money for the enterprise as yet, but intended accordance with the above facts. The most serious wound isa bruise just over the right temple, which was evidently inflicted by com- ing in contact with a stone or qther very hard substance, The team, which he was driving, is a ve spirited one, and must have -haule bim along at a high rate ofspeed. Dr. Wiggins says that he will recover, but it will be many weeks be- fore be will be able to work. Wiiliams is about 40 years of age and has a verv large family dependent upon his labor for support. A 56-year-old colored boy, Albert Shields, while playing near the tracks in the Vandalia ards last night was caught by the cars and ost his right, leg. Dr. Fairtroke was called and pronounced the injury fatal. They boy wiil undoubtediy die. His parents reside on St. Clair avenue, near Second street. The mother of the child left him in the cus- tody of one a few years older, while she at- tended to some work about a neighbor's house, and the little fellow wandered off. The train men did all they could forthe boy, No blame attaches to any one. La Monte Whittiessey, who died Sunday evening, was buried in St. Peter’s Cemetery at 3 o’ clock to-day. The funeral took piace from the residence of his father, J. W. Whittlessey, and theremains were taken to the Summit Avenue M. E. Church, where Rev. C. B. Lar- rabee delivered a sermon. A delegation of Col. Neuman Post, Sons of Veterans, of which the deceased was a member, acted as pall- bearers. Many floral offerings were piaced on the grave by admiring friends. The young man was a recent graduate of McKendree Col- lege of Lebanon, Lil. J. H. Royston, a brakeman in the Wabash yards, met bis death eariy this morning while attempting to make @ coupling. The poor fellow stepped between the cars after giving the signal to back up, and must have bad some difficuity in pushing the pin down, as he walked some distance from the point when he entered between the cars, and his right foot caught in the rails of a ‘*frog’’ and threw him tothe ground. The wheels of one truck assed over his body and mangled im frightfully. He probably fought bard for his life, and came near saving himself from death. After his foot was wedged between the rails, as the boot heel was torn from its fastening, but the other portion still ne!d him while the car passed over his prostrate form. He was 28 years of age, single, and has rela- tives in Pittsburg, Pa., which city he left only three months ago. The inquest will be heid this evening owing to the absence of Coroner The Dresden Fire. DETROIT, Mich., August 20.—The report of the fireat Dresden, Ontario, sent from here last night was very misleading. The special was sent from Dresden during the progress of the flames and undoubtedly amid greatexcitement. 80 far as known here the fire was confined to A. McKean’s Hub & Spoke Factory, which was nearly destroyed. The total loss is variously estimated at between $100,000 and $200,000. A Big Lumber Blaze. BUFFALO, N. Y., August 20.—A fire broke out in the lumber yard of B. & J. Goliken, about a mile from Tonawanda, at 1 o’clock this morning. There were nearly 3, 000, 000 seet of lumber inthe yard and about three- fourths of it was consumed. Loss about $50,000; partly insured.

August 20, II a. m.— The stock market showed a moderate degree of anima- tion In the aggregate, but the dealings in the regular list were small and entirely devoid of interest. Theonly feature was the transac- tions inthe trust stocks. The opening was fairly firm, most stocks showing advances over last evening s figures of from , to % per cent, while Sugar Trust was remarkable with againof 2 per cent at 109. The subsequent dealings in the regular list showed a declining tendency, though outside of Burlington & St. Paul business was simply stagnant. Cotton oll, however, resumed its decline of yester- day and dropped to 48 against 49% last even- ing. Sugar, after a further advance to 1094, reacted to 107%, while lead declined a frac- tion. Latein the hour there was a partiai re- action and at 11 o’clock the market was dull from first 213 & 218 N. Third Ste — — — prices. Noon. —- Money easy at 2@3 percent. Bar silver 92%. There was alittle more animation in the regular list after 11 o’clock, Lackawan- f - na, Northern Pacific preferred and Atchison being the most conspicous. The firm tone was continued and small advances were made, though the fluctuations were confined to nar- row limits and the changes possessed no special significance. The trusts were again dull with the exception of Cotton Oll, which recovered to within aslight fraction of its opening price. Lackawanna and Chicago Gas were the features for strength, and each rose pearly I per cent, C., C., C. & St. L. afterward rose an equal amount. At 12 0’clock the mar- ket was dull, but firm to strong, and generally st about opening prices. 5p. m. — The stock market closed dull, but frm at close to best figures.

The available supply of wheat on land and sea is now 30,581, hu, against 30,587,000 last week, 45,071,000 last year and 51,055,000 two 23 ago; of corn is 14,215,000 bu, against , 208 ,000 last week, 11, 805, 000 one year ago and 8,640, 000 two years ago. The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British grain trade during the past week, says: ‘‘The weather has been erratic, and less than half of the wheat area has been harvested. The crop promises to be the most irregular on record. The humidity militates — the chances of large early deliveries of new corn.’’ Ben 8. Barnes wasonthe floor to-day after an absence of several weeks. May oats are now selling in Chicago ata lower price than No.2ever sold at in that market except once during the month of May in the past twenty-seven years. That excep- tion was in 1868, when the price touched 220 in May. W heat arriving in New York is being ordered into store owing toan absence of an export demand. Kurope is buying wheat in the West where she knows they keep good wheat on and, Will Samuel hada telegram that a London cable wasin that stated the Russian wheat crop damage had been greatly over estimated. New Orleans cleared yesterday 35,561 bu corn and 92,350 wheat tor Liverpool aud &,935 wheat for Bordeaux. New York to Green: Cables, weather unset- tled. Wheat dull owing to liberal stocks; corn quigt and tending lower. To Cobb: Liverpool wheat quiet and corn cheaper. London wheat firm with small supplies. Weather cold and wet.

Second cable, Liv- erpool weak on expected heavy shipments from America. Weather unsettied.. Liverpool Cable to Grier Commission Co.: „Weather very unfavorable. Wheat market dull. Corn market inactive.’’ The Signal Service is predicting an approach- ing lower temperature in the Northwest that may bring frost. Out of 279 cars winter wheat inspected in Chicago 46 cars graded No. 2, and 1 car spring went No. 2 out of 23 cars. The per centage of winter wheat grading No. 2in this market was 43.

Pirrencrs, Pa., August 20.—The general impression thattne South Fork dam would never be rebuilt appearsto be erroneous, as there is strong probability that a fishing lake will again be established in that locality. A member of the fishing club of that name said that the belief that South Fork had been abandoned as a club resort was a mistake. Tne club, he said, could not affordto lose all the money it had invested in real estate in that locality. The property was worth fully $200,000, and if the fishing resort was pot re-established the whole investment would become al- most a dead loss. The intention, however, was not to build a dam of the size of the one destroyed, but one which would make the lake much less in size, so that in the event of the barrier again giving way no de- struction to life and property would follow. No move in that direction will be made until the damage suit now pending against the stockholders is settled, either by being paid or compromised. The object is to establish a fair-sized pond capable of holding a good stock of fish. SOLITAIRE Diamond Rings, $25 to $500.

CONDITIONS OF THE RACE THEY ARE MATCHED TO ROW. Mr. st. John on Oarsmen’s Colors—New Tork and Boston Play a Tie Game Brooklyn Scores Another Victory—Rac- ing at Chicago, Saratoga and Brighton Beach—Sporting News of All Sorts, EEMER’S deposit of $200 to bind a boat race between himself and Gaudaur has deen covered. Mr. J. A. St. John wired the Pittsburg Dispatch Sunday, inquiring if Teemer had posted the forfeit money. Last evening he re- ceived u telegram stating the money was now up, and he immediately for- warded his check for $200, and wired the Dispatch to that ef- fect. The match now seems an assured fact, It is to be four miles for $1,000 a side, and to be rowed on the McKeesport course. Only two provisos are asked by Gavdaur and his backer. One is that the race shall be rowed on fperfectly smooth water, the two men and not the refree being the parties to determine whether the water is in condition for the race. Without the consent of both it cannot be rowed. The other is that it shall be pulled under National rules. It is usu al nowa- days to row all races under National rules and Mr. St. John’s object in stipulating they shall govern is because some drunken loafer who hasa few dollars up on the race might interfere with the men. Under the National rules it a man is interfered with the referee may order the race pulled over in case he thinks the interference altered the re- sult, or he may make the men row the race out from the positions they oc- cupied when the interference occurred. Teemer is 1 good oarsman on either smooth or rough water, whereas Gaudaur can row only in smooth water, being a miserable man when the water is rough. This is why Mr. St. John insists on the course being smooth, and wants the men and not the referee to determine whether the water is in condition fora race. Every other condition of Teemer they will comply with, and heis conceded almost everything, Mr. St. Jobn and Gaudaur deeming it necessary in order to get a race out of him, as they think he will crawl out of it if he gets half a chance. Gaudaur will row him at his home on the McKeesport course, the place selected by Teemer, will row him the distance and foi the stake named by Teemer, will accept the stake holder named by him, the Pittsburg Dispatch, and will agree tothat paper naming the ref- eree, incase the men fail to agreeon one a week before the race. Teemer has suggested September 14 as a good day for the race and Gaudaur will agree to that day. Jake has never seen the Mcheesport course, while Teemer will have all the benefits of knowing it thoroughly, having been practically raised on it. Of course ail the localsympathy will be with Teemer. In fuct, the St. Louis oarsman has made most generous concessions to the McKeesport scul- ler. Gaudaur is in splendid condition and Hamm, who has been handling bim, thinks that in his present form he can probably beat anybody in the worid. Oarsmen’s Colors. In connection with my professional oars- men’s association scheme,’’ remarked J. A. St. John, ‘‘another idea occurred to me to-day.It isthis: At present oargmen are designated by the colors of their caps. Their caps are so small that you can only distinguish their col- ors when very close and people who witness a race usually do not know who wins it until they read the newspapers next day. Ifthe men wear shirts and trunks of different colors, as they usually do, the spectators frequently think their colors are determined by the shirt or trunks, instead of bythe cap. Now, my idea is to give an oarsman a color and make him wear shirt, trunks and cap all of that color. Paint his boat that color, if necessary, but let there be no doubt about his color. Once a color is assigned to a men he should be made to wear it all season. Brighton Beach Races.

The American Beer Breweries Sold te the Syndicate. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New YorK, August 20.—English capitalists have not ceased to regard American brewer- ies asa prize investment for their surplus pounds. The latest sale reported is that of the Peter Schoenhoff Brewing Co., Chicago, one of the largest concerns in the country. The purchasers formed acompany known as the Peter Schoenhoff Brewing Co. (limited) and paid $3,000,000 forthe plant. A mistaken idea largely prevails that this absorption of Amer- ican brewing interests is by one great British syndicate, the object of which is to control the entire industry. The fact of the matter is, however, that the investment is a general one for British gold and there are fully one-third as mauy purchasing British syndicates as there are selling American brewery owners. Each of these syndicates are distinct. The chief ones in the purchasing movement are of the Trustees, Executors & Security Co. of Lon- don, the City of London Contract Co. and the Debenture & Security Investment Co. of Lon- don. They all work on the same line and are ina measure competitors. Their agents re- port from this country that certain breweries can be bought for certain sums. Twoor three of these are purchased, consolidated into one company and the stock put on the London market at a general par value of £10. The owner of each of the incorporating breweries is made a director in the new concern, and the contract stipulates that the management shallremain in the same hands for three years. A couple of American bankers are ery put on the London directory. he. board is completed by a few solid Britishers, who are mere figure- heads so far as management is concerned, and the incorporated breweries go on running as before, except that the dividend is divided among the British stockholders instead of Staying here. The desire to purchase has enabled American brewers to get fabulous prices for their plants, but the Britishers ex- pect to offset this by the economy that can be practiced by finning twoor three concerns under one minagement. From Secretary Tovey of the United States Brewers’ Associa- tion the full extent of the purchases already made was learned. The following schedule is complete: Baltimore Brewers’ Co., Bauerschidt & Marr Brewing Co., Baltimore; Bartnolomay Brew- ing Co., Rochester Brewing Co., Gen- esee Brewin Co., Rochester; J. F.

SEDALIA, Mo., August 20.—A young man named Harlan, 17 years old, was shot in the back by an unknown assassin at 2 o’clock this morning, near Clifton City, and may die. He and two companions were cutting a tree on land belonging to aman named Fisher, when the shot was fired. Four buckshot en- terad the boy’s back just below the shoulder, 8 through both lungs and lodged under he skin of the breast. Suspicion points to Fisher as the assassin, he having threatened to kill anyone found trespassing upon his land. Young Harlan was taken to the resi- dence of his uncle at daylight, and physicians summoned, who onounced the wound mortal. Great indignation is felt in the neigh- borhood. HOTEL PERSONALS. _———- — — — CHOOSING A PRESIDENT. THE SELECTION TO BE MADE AT THE WORLD’S FAIR MEETING TO-NIGHT. Necessity of Coming toa Decision at Once— All Committee Work Suspended in the Interim—Secretary Gaiennie’s Statement of the Situation— Work to Be Commenced Immediately. The meeting of the Executive Committee of the World’s Fair, which has been called at8 o’clock this evening at the Mercantile Club, will be watched with great interest by the citizens of St. Louis. Notonly will a presi- dent be chosen, but the members of the various subcommittees will also be officially notified of their election, and a time and place appointed for meeting and organi- zation. As affairs stand at present, since the resignation of President Davis there hag been no efficient and responsible head either of the Committee of Two Hundred or the Executive Committee. As noneof the subcommittees can meet until officially notified of their ex- istence matters must remain in statu quo until a President is elected and notices are sent to the differ- ent members of the subcommittees informing them of their election. There were reports on the street that meetings of one or two committees were to be held at once, but these, according to Recording Secretary Gailennie, were without foundation, as no committee could legally meet until convened by the proper authorities, ORDER OF PROCEEDINGS. Secretary Frank Galennie was seen on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange this morn- ing, and in response to a question said: The situation of affairs at present is very simple. We will elect a President to-night—at least, there seems to me to be no doubt that this will be done, as until we have a head we can do nothing. This once done matters will proceed smoothly. Notices will at once be sent to all the members of the sub- committees, notifying them of their election, and an early date will be set for a meeting. The committeemen will be instructed to first elect achairman and secretary, and then to roceed to business. The reports of each ecretary will be sent to the President as soon as possible, and such instruc- tions issued in accordance as are deemed ad- visabie. In this way the work can be syste- matized and the best results can be accom- plished. The notifications of elections are all res dy and will be sent out as soon as there is a President to authorize it. In order to pre- vent confusion we have held back the notifi- cations, as it is plain that some central authority should exist to which all reports are to be submitted hefore the committees at- tempt to do anything. THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. When we havea president the committees Will go to work atonce. They cannot meet before this time and that is the reason of the slight delay that has occurred incident to the resignation of President Davis. There is no one who has any authority to call the committees together, and the members therefore have not been informed of their election. They cannot meet without the authority of the body which called them into existence and I feel sure that no such meeting will be attempted. If every committee worked on its own hook, the result would be confusion worse confounded. I say this sim- ply to show the citizens of St. Louis that there has been no unnecessary delay. Special authority was given to call the Congressional Committee together on Saturday next, as many of its members are not residents of this city. I have already received a number of responses from the Congressmen, and hope that the great majority will be present. After the election of to-night everything will move rapidly, and I see no possibility of any trouble or friction. The chances of success are brightening every day. OUTSIDE AsSISTANCE. The mails of last night and this mornin brought in a great number of indorsements n the claims of St. Louis from different points in the State, and almostas many from Kan- sas, Arkansas and Texas, with not afew from Louisiana. Not only members of the Execu- tive Committee, but also many not officially connected with the World's Fair organization, were recipients ot communications promising co-operation. Council Groves, Kan., prom- ises not only to aid by its influence, but also to contribute liberally. The Treasurer of Par- is, Tex., has intimated that his city will do the same, and a meeting will be called at Topeka, Kan., to indorse St. Louis. Second District Police Court.

President Harrison Enjoying a Comfortable Rest—The Western Trip. DEER PARK, Md., August 20.—The day is genial and just agreesbly warm. In reply to the stereotyped question, ‘‘What news for the press?’’ the Associated Press man was pleasantly informed that our Chief Magis- trate was not working fora living this morn- ing, so there was no news. ‘The President was with little Ben at the stable examin- ing their new carriage which had just arrived. The child got in and out, trying the different seats, and his beaming face showed satisfac- tion. President Harrison in the room used as an Office satdown and conversed pleasantly about his trip West. The schedule, as an- nounced yesterday, will be adhered to. Leav- ing at 9to-nightthe President arrives in Ein- cinnati at 7 to-morrow morning. When asked how he stood his ordealof constant hand- shaking, he remarked that he found by hold- ing his hand rather firm in the grasp of each, perhaps only one man in a hundred intentionally gave him pain.

The first production of Von Suppe’s ‘‘Donna Juanita’’ drew a large audience to Schnaider’s Garden last evening. The production was one of the brightest successes of the season at that popular re- sort. The musicis above the ordinary range of comic opera jingle and revealed some charming arias and concerted passages with a number of beautiful choruses. There is plenty of action for entertainment, and the verdict of the audience was almost unquali- ned approval, repetitions being frequently demanded. The performance was excellent for the most part, although there were weak spots in it, the sitging of Mr. McCreary being the most noticeable point of inefliciency. Mr. Me- Creary’s voice belongs to a few seasons ago, but he was otherwise satisfactory. Clever work was done by Ida Muelle in a male role. Alice Gaillard, Ada Somers, Fred Urban, Francis Gaillard, Stanley Felch and others. A bright, attractive feature of the performance was the fete scene, in which some pretty and talented children were dressed in old folks’ costumes and the older people were dressed as infants. The opera gives promise of a most successful run. ** — **Erminie’’ was revived for the final week of the Cave by the Carleton Opera Co. last even- ing. Mr. Hoff’s voice was knocked out toa large extent by his role, but he made a dash- ing Ravvy, and the work of Hartman, F itz- erald, Carlberg and Misses Glasca, Reifferth, incent and others was fully up to the stan- dard. The entertaining opera will run until the close of the Cave season, next Sunday night. a*« 4 The Siege“ at Keusington will be repeated to- night, and a host of new and bright feat- ures are promised inthe specialties and the pyrotechnic display.
