State’s Attorney Longenecker is among the victims. Turkish Outrages in Armenia. Loypow, Dec. 27.— Though there is no doubt that Messrs. Knapp and Robinson, the two American missionaries who have brought charges of outrageous assault against Mousa Bey, have abundant grounds for their accu- sations, the opinion is generally prevalent that they have taken a big contract to prove this case in aTurkish court, even with the assistance of the American and Brit- diplomatic representatives at the Porte. With their case already weakened by religious prejudice it is surmised that the unsupported testimony of the two gentiemen will have little or no welghtagainst the swarm of witnesses who, ailhongh it is probable they were not in Armenia when the alleged outrages took plece, and perhaps were never there, may be depended upon to swear anything and every- thing except the truth. Then, too, the de- fense will probably be set up that the reverend gentlemen were themselves the aggressors in having interfered in matters which did -not concern them and were merely prevented from further interference by the mildest means consistent with the vio- lence of their pragmatical bent. Already it is asserted, as if to prepare the public mind for the line of defense to be pursued, that the missionaries had taken advantage of the priv- lleges accorded to them, as it must be said that missionaries have too often done in Armenia and many other countries, to incite the Christains to disobedience of the laws and customs and defiance of the authorities. This contention being made, it will be held by the Turkish officials that if any outrages were committed, which is not to be admitted, they were simply incidental to the official action restraining the two entiemen from further attempts to usurp the unctions of the Government. Messrs. Knapp and Robinson aay be innocent of this accu- sation and probably are, but it ig a matter of record that gentiemen of their calling too frequently combine the meddlesom e Zeal of Paul Pry with their singie duty of propagating the Obristian faith and exhibita marvelous readiness to complain if they are promptly and very properly satupon. Apropos of the Turkish assertion that the gentlemen were given to poking their noses into the affairs of other poner. will be noted that one of them Mr. binson, is reported to have had his nose sliced off. It is proper to say that all accounts agree that a more worthy, self- sacrificing and conscientious body of men than that a the great army of mis- sionaries sent m erica to foreign lands can recruited from no other country on the globe. But it is also proper to say that there are a few — them whose connection with Christian teaching in any capacity is as d aceful as would de the a pees t an archbishop oaa cardinal in the . and who bring a great y of saclous Obris- tlan workers into undeserved ridicule and contempt.

TORONTO, Ontario, Dec, 27.--The Empire, the Government organ says: ‘‘The reports which have been scattered broadcast throughout the United States to the effect that the Government intends not to renew the modus vivendi next year are entirely un- warranted. By the treaty of Washington, and the act §passed by the Dominion Pariia- ment last year the modus vivendi expires on the 15th of Febuary next, and in order to re- new it further legisiation willbe required. Whether it will be renewed or not involves a question of policy which the Government has not yet considered.“ A BKUTAL DEED. John Hoos of Harlem Robbed and Assaalted by a Relative. CuiIcaGo, III., Dec. 27.—John Hoos, a resi- dent of Harlem, III., was found in the river near the Rush street bridge last night with his skull crushed and in a drowning condition. The circumstances surrounding the finding point to a robbery and an attempted murder. Hoos became unconscious sbortly after his arrival at the County Hospital, but during the ride he said be had been in the company of his brother-in-law, whose name he did not give. He said that his relative bad robbed bim and then thrown him to the river. Hoos said that during the day he sold his prope in Harlem to his relative, receiv- ing for it $2,000. Itis not known whether he bad this money with him at the time he was assaulted. Nothing was found on his person except some private papers of no great value or importance. After making these state- ments Hoos sunk into a cumatose condition, from which he did not recoyer. The attend- ing physician gave it as his opipion that the wounds were produced brs blu rument, probably by a hammer Th a hole in the back of the man’s head two nodes in diam- eter, the skull being broken away, disclosing the brain. Another * was just back of the right ear, the skull being crushed and resting on the brain. A trepanning operation was n the only chance of saving the man’s lite. The police are hunting for the brother-in-law. Hoos is better thie morning and will, it is thought, recover. His brother-in-law, J ° Getzman, was arrested this morning. Hoos is a plano-tuner by profession and lives at 1501 Park avenue, New York City. Getzman denies that he had anything to do with the as- sault on Hoos. Getzman says he was the executor of the estate of the elder Hoos and that in response toa notice that it had been settled Hoos came here on Christmas Day to ave his share, which amounted to about . Getzman shows a receipt from Hoos for the amount given yesterday. Getzman is a saloon-keeper and Hoos was done up“ and thrown into the river in the rear of ais place. The police suspect Getzman of having hired a tough character, to whom he intro- duced Hoos, to do the job. ' TOOK tiIs OWN LIFE, The Family of Mr. Geo. 8. Piatt in Ignorance As to the Cause. George 8. Platt, ason of Henry 8. Platt of the Platt & Thornburg Paint & Glass Co., took his own life last evening for some unexplic- able reason. Platt was a book-keeper for the Piatt & Thornburg Co., and has been noted among his friends for his conviviality and love of good company. The news of his suicide was totally unexpected, and his many friends can — no reason whatever for his sudden determinatſon to end his existence. For a number of days it is said that Platt had been drinking heavily, and it is supposed that in a fit of despondency follow- ing his excessive. indulgence he committed the deed. N Platt's home was at 2908 Gamble street. Last night he returned home at an early hour, but appeared to de under some strange influ- ence. At about 11 o’clock Mrs. Piatt became alarmed at his unnatural con- dition and sent a messenger tor Dr. Younkin, who at once responded. Platt lay on the bed in a sem!i-conscious con- dition, but was abie to talk freely with the doctor. He said he had taken about thirty-five grains 1 morphine with sul cidal intent, as © was in trouble and desired to die. The doctor did ali in his power to remove the effects of the drug, but to no avail, as Platt at once began to sink into a stupor and died about 12:80. Mrs. Platt was one with him at the time death. Mr. 8S. Platt had been sent for did not arrive until after his son’s death. Dr. Younkin said that at the time he was called the drug had got such a hold on the dyin man that it was utterly impossible to ee Its progress. a The gentlemen members of the family state that they are in ignorance as to the cause of the a man’s suicide, as up to the time of his death he appeared in the best of spirits, and itis not known that he had any business — The affair is a very mysterious and aad one.

Comfort Makes an Explana- tion. HE committee repre- resenting the citizens of St. Louis and se- lected to voice the sentiments of the meeting which was held at the Merchants’ Exchange, waited upon Mayor Noonan "this. morning at 11 o’clock to argue against the infamous gas- works bill and present the petitions for his veto signed by citizens. Given Campbell was their spokesman. He made a brief address ex- plaining at the offset that the meeting held at the Exchange was in no sense for the purpose of dictating to the Mayor what he should do in the case, but was simply to express the sentiments of the peo- ple and to give the Mayor an idea of what tne people thought. Mr. Campbell said he had no intention of antagonizing a measure tend- ing toward an arrangement whereby the city could make and supply gas to ite citizens. In this matter the people preter̃red to trust to the wisdom of the officials and legislators in the future for the regulation of those matters rather than to be bound down for thirty years to one contract hastily made. On a purely business basis the citizens did not think the contract a good one. It was framed by the city legislators on one side, who were not in a position to judge of the merits, in an off-hand manner without having given itthe necessary careful investigation. He then took up tne bill by sections, In speaking of sec. 1 he said it was somewhat risky in the first place to make a contract for alump sum of $4,500,000 on which the city would bave to pay about 8 per cent interest, con- sidering the insurance, cost of repairs, taxes andsoon. An argument nad been advanced by those trying to get the bill through that the city and citizens had been robbed the as companies, and that this measure would o away with the looting by the existing corporations. Mr. Campbell said that the city had been skinned and that it was no argu- to de skinned ment that it was better waat less deeply. The to da skinned n wanted to make a good equitablé agreemypnt which would not put the,city atthe mefoy of any body. We want our supplies through competitive processes, continued Mr. Campbell. He showed how it had been found that only the competitive system was proper in all pudlto business. The com- petition the city would be forced into with existing gas manufacturers by enterin into thig contract Mr. Campbell showed tha the city would compel a gas war which would cost much money which would in the end have to be paid by the citizens in one way or another. Intheend if the city did propose to buy cas works why should the matter be put off for thirty years’ Mr. Campbell was followed by E. O. STANARD who spoke briefly, stating tnat froma busi- ness point of view he opposed the measure and thought ita bad bargain to make. He was convinced it was not necessary to go further as that was sufticient to induce its de- feat. The bill had many other bad points which needed no attention because they were so well known. Fielding Mansfield explained the manner of getting up the petitions and the reasons why he went into the work. One or two other members of the committee spoke in the same line and backed up the arguments of the rest. Immediately upon the departure of the Merchants’ Exchange Committee a delegation from the MECHANICS’ EXCHANGE took up the attention of the Mayor. Thomas Mockler was selected by the com- mittee to state the objections of the Exchange. He put the objections to the measure briefly, going through the bill by sections. After the opposing elegations bad all passed out there remained in the Mayor’s Office quite a number cf persons interested in the measure. those there were the incorporators of the bill, FT. M. Estes, attor- ney, Henry D. Laughlin, Counellmen Comfort and Meiler, Delegates Stone, Bogard, Seig- mund, and one or two others there more from curiosity than anything else. The Laclede Gas-Light Co. was not repre- sented at the time that the meeting pogen. Mr. Estes, attorney for the Gas-works Oo was the first to speak. Mayor Noonan tol — 5 could have about twenty minutes to speak. f Mr. Estes said that he desired to use argu- ments based upon facts and figures given b the opposition. He took President Fiad’s argument against the bill and tried to twist it around in such a way as to show that every- body was wrong, and the Branham-Johnson Gas Works Uo. all right. His ments were mostly based upon principle, that the existing gas companies were a monstrous combine, and that the only way ln which the combine could be broken would be bythe passage of this bill. Mr. Bates did some PERFORMANCES IN MATHEMATICAL GYMNASTICS which for some reason or other were all al- lowed to pass unnoticed. He ed that the Laclede Co. bad a capital of $2,000,000. Op $10,000,000 of this interest was ng paid a a rate of 5 dent and on the other $10,000,000 interest w being paid at a rate of 8 per making in ali a total rate 18 per cent on $20,000,060. Then he went on to say that Col. Fiad’s esti- mates as to the original cost of the works were wrong, because he made them in July or Au- gust and iron had gone up 2% per cent since then and was now very expensive. He said that the honorable business men only tn its entirety. directed toward Water-Gas Co. Mr. Laughlin would —— how he had come dy this letter. He p that off as a little jest. The letter reads: James J. Davis, Esq.: n me with the follow. What is the annuall What sumers? What Taney of gas manufactured dy ater Gas Co.? ® quantity sold to private con- is the total length of pipe laid by you What is the average diameter of pipe, or in other words, what would be, in your opinion; the total weight af 200 miles of pipe and what the cost of pipes at $25 per ton? What, in your opinion, would be the cost of establishing a water gas plant of a thousand million cubic feet capacity per annum. By answering these questions promptly you will confer a favor on the undersigned and surely benefit your own people and the whole city. Yours aay ENRY FLAD. Mr. Laughlin branded this effort of Vol. Flad’s to obtain facts and figures from a gas manufacturer as a most despicable lee of business he did not suspect ol. Flad of being § guilty of. 8 triea to make it work against Col. Flaa’s long establisbed reputation and made some indirect insinuations while he asserted that he would not believe Col. Flad guilty of any corruption. Then HE TACKLED THE GAS MONOPOLY and combine and he made many strong u- ments in favor of the abolition ot the existing conditions in gas matters, and when he had proven what is already known, that the gas companies now existing were extortionate, he took the whole business to prove that the Branham-Johnson proposition was a bene- ficialoneand the only solution of the roblem. is argument was carried on is ine to some extent, he propping it up by data and facte of ifferent kinds. His arch enemy, Emerson Mo- Millan and the Laclede company, he gave a great deal of attention and made them out to his own satisfaction ater robbers than the men he was arzuing for. GOOD ADVICE UNHEEDED. In an interview yesterday Councilman E. F. W. Meler stated that not a word had been said to him about the gas-works bill by any- body and no arguments were ever madeto him to induce him to vote for it. He came to thecon- clusion that the measure was a good one after studying it with bis bookkeeper and voted for it. While Mr. Meler may not have received any assistance in making up his mind to vote for the bill he was certainly offered plentyof help to make up his mind to oppose the bill. He appears, however, to have paid little heed to the ad- vice and admonition of friends, and followed his own inclinations in the matter. Collector Ziegenhein, who is an old friend of Mr. Meier, is authority forthe statement that he and a number of other prominent German citizens wentto Mr. Meter and urged him to vote against the bill. The Councilman wonld not comiait himself to them, but merely said that he would examine the meas- ure thoroughly. Councilman N. O. Nelsoa, who is an advocate of the city owning its own gas works, but was opposed tothis bill be- cause itis a palpable steal, also talked with Mr. Meiler, showing him the villainous feat- ures of the bill. He showed Mr. Meiler where the bill was opposed to the city’s interests. Councilman „ M. Horton also spoke to Mr. Me ler in opposition to the measure and endeavored to secure his vote against the bill, but to no avail. Mr. Horton saw J. M. Thompson leave the Council chamber with Mr. Meier a couple of weeks ago. The nextday Mr. Horton called upon Mr. Meier and argued with him against the bill. He endeavored to point out its de- ? seen, at Mr. Meier was offered plenty of assistance in mak- ing up his mind about tue bill, but he sup- ported it despite his frienas’ efforts to get him to oppose it. COUNCILMAN O. D. COMFORT. 1 A story was circulated that Councilman O0. D. Comtort was burning over two hundred electric lighte in his establishment for which he was not charged anything. When asked if the story was correct Mr. Comfort remarked ; It is not true, but itis funny. S. M. Dodds company supplies us with electric lights, and as he is an oid gas company man it is rather strange that they should accuse him of giving me free light when I have supported a gas measure directly opposed to their inter- ests. The statement that J am not paying for the electric lights we use is a lie. I will say, however, tnat before last June our gas bill here used to be about $150 a month, and this is only asmall factery. Last June we put in electric lights and since our bills have aver- aged only about $100 a month, —— before they were put in the electric light people themselves said it would cost us about the same as gas at 32 per thousand cubic feet. We were supposed to be getting our gas at $1.50 per thousand, and yet we save 33½ per cent by using electricity, which is as expen- sive as gas at $2 rthousand. That looks very much, does it not, as if we had been paying $3 athousand for our $1.50 per thou- sand gas? We only have 122 electric lights in this factory, so that the peuple who started this last story did not even get that much of it correct. ave receipted bills here to show that I pay for my lighte.’’ Mr. Comfort, the reporter inquired, hat members of the Council did you speak to outside the Councll Chamber in behalt ot this gas-works bill?“ do not know exactly, probably with all of them. I know I have spoken to the members of the Council freely about the measure at dif- ferent places where we would meet. What interest did you have in the measure that led you to 2 to your fellow Council- men in its behalf, when you met them outside the Council chamber?’’ None in particular. I was alwaysa friend of the bill, and spoke of it to them the same as I would about any other measure. It is a common thing for Councilmen to discuss bills nding before the Uouncil when thev meet. have discussed other bills time and again in as much i as summer I Minnesota for 4 month with Mr. Metcalfe and discussed the bill with him several times then. Ialso spoke to Mr. Walbridge about it, as Ido with him on all measures. „Hut the bill was tabled and supposed to be virtually killed when you spoke to some of the Councilmen about it?’’ **Il expected it to come up again. If I aid not think itwas to come up again I should certainly not have consented to its being tabied.’ COUNCILMAN JOHN VOGEL was seen in his office to-day and asked it he would state his reasons for voting fer the gas il. Iwill when the proper time comes,’’ he said. ‘‘You may say this for me, thongh, that I have had European correspondence on this subject, however, and know how matters stand over there. I know that in Zurich, Switzerland, and ih Frankfort Hollins has been selling the $7,500,000 of stock that was issued at 25 cents on dollar, and he has made the statement there that eg would go 1 and —1 veep | ecompany was ready pay ead on it.

Thethird section of this ordinance provides for the appointment of such an of- deal and specifies his duties as follows: DUTIES OF THE OFFICE. It is futher hereby convenanted and stipu- lated by each and both of said gas companies with the city of St. Louis that it may and is to have the full right and power to have its Inspector ofall gas and gas meters in the city and to provide by ordinance or othere- wise for his appointment andthe p bing of his duties, the salary ofsaid inspector not to exceed $3.000 per annum, and which said gas companies agree to y in quarterly stallments to the City Treasurer, éach of said gas companies to pay one-half thereof; the office of sald inepector be In the City Hall if practicable, and the pipe of each company to be extended to such — Hall it practicable, for such inspection; an each of sald gas companies agree fully and freely to permit such inspector to test and in- spect the gas, gas meters and pressure at any and alltimes; andfor any defect in the qual- ity ot gas to private consumers below or in- ferior tothe standard of quality agreed for herein or any failure to — gas * ulred by this contract by either of said gag companies the compan in de- fault is to be resvonsibie therefor; and In case of failure of either gas company to furnish gas of the standard guality required for three consecutive days the company so failliag shall and will immediately pay to the said city $250 for such third day, and a like amount for each succeeding day until the gas is of the standard and quality provided for in this contract, on condition that written no 18 on each day on which at dent njury tothe works, machinery, pipes or erec- tion of such company, then it fs not tobe liable or to make any such payments it It will and shall repair and supply such injury aud accident with reasonable and proper dispatch and diligence; and upon any such fallure as to the standard of quality of gas tothe public lamps, then upon the certified report thereof by the inspector a sufficient amount to com- ensate therefor as damages is to be with- eld by the city for any deficiency in its public lighting.

The last was Thomas J. Caldwell. When Mr. Caldwell was in the office the Municipal Assembiy became imbued with the idea that he had very much of a’‘snap,’’ and an investigation was con- ducted. Mr, Caldwell’s admissions were such that the Assembly reached the conclusion thas the office was afarce. He acknowledged that the duties of the office, as he performed them, did not take him more than an bour a day. Accordingly when Mayor Francis sent in Caldwell’s name tothe Council for the office the nomination was not confirmed and no one else was ever appointed. Mr. Caldwell still continued as gas inspector, however, but in an entirely different way from that which was contempiatel under the tripartite agreement.

Shields and the Circuit Jadgeship—Tariff Hearings Before the House Ways and Means Committee. Bg Telegraph to the Posr- Drsraren. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec, 27.—There were Sevéral callers entertained by Walker Wear at the St. Louis World’s Fair headquarters this morning. Among them were Congressmen Tate of Arkansas and Briggs of California, John E. Beach, formerly of Bridge, Beach & Go., St. Louis, but now of New York, also dropped in to express his kindly interest n favor of his former associates. Gen. John B. Clark says everything looks flattering for St. Louis’ chances. The assertions of the Chicagoans that they would win tne fair were it not for St. Louis being in the @tield, he also regarded as fa- Vorable. Col. Sam Hays leaves for the West this afternoon, and will stop over in He has been one ot the most en- thusiastic supporters the Mound City has had here, and his departure will be sorely felt by all who have met him here. Gen. John B. Clark will go into business at the capital. After an experience of several years as Clerk in the House and a long career in Congress, he feels himself well equipped for the undertaking. James Finks of Howard County ‘hss been very ill for the past week. The connection of Mr. J. M. Thompson of St. Louis with the St. Louis gas-light difficulty has caused some discussion here on the part oftbose who considered him a candidate for Sub-Treasurer in that city. At the Post-office Department preparation has been made to forward a long list of presidential post-office recommendations to the executive for appointment after the holi- Gay season. It is stated that Mr. Catlin will be appointed at Hannibal, a Mr. Sampson at Louisiana and Maj. George at Macon. As to the St. Louis office nota word can be had at the department. Telegrams for Col. Kerens continue to arrive in care of the Assistant Postmaster General. It was probably this class of matter that the Colonel remained away from the Capital to avoid. Every day is adding to the stock of indorsements filed in behalf of Gen. Shields for Judge. While the latter’s friends are feeling enthusiastic and believe the Gen- @ral will succeed, he is not so sanguine him- self. He realizes that the President has made many disappointments. Thomas Kelly, who wants tne Moberly Post- office, is here. Tariff Hearings. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 27.—The House Ways and Means Committee met promptly and went to work at 10 o’clock this morning and listened to a statement by C. 8. Landers of New Brittain, Conn., on the subject of table cutiery. He was satisfied with the pro- vision of the Senate bill, except in regard to one. feature of the classification. The average duty on table cutlery mposed by the bill was 22 per cent, and the change in classification would increase the average to 5623 cents. The cutlery manu- facturers would have to be protected or they would have to die. Hon. J. Logan Chipman of Michigan read telegrams from various stove firms in Michi- gan, protesting against mica being removed from the free list. Charles Brice, representing the Gold-deal- ers Association, argued in favor of an in- creased duty on gold-leaf and bronze powder. The anvil, the oldest implement known to maukind, as it was characterized by Mr. Clark Fisher of Trenton, N. J., was the next subject of discussion, and that gentleman pre- sented the reasons why the duty should be increased. Of the anyils used in the United States, about two-thirds were im- ported. He advocated an imposition of a duty of 23-10 cents a pound upon anvils, and he believed that if that was done they could be sold cheapertothe consumer, as it would enable the manufacturers to increase their output. Forty years ago, when he first went into business, there were twenty-five anvil firms inthe country. Nowthey had become extinct with three exceptions. To lower the duty would have the effect of wiping out these three establishments.: Mr. William C. Cronmeyer of Pittsburg, Pa., described the unsuccessful efforts of Ameri- can manufacturers to producetin plates ata profit. In 1872/ tne firm with which he was connected had started to manufacture tin plates and for three years had been success ful. At that timethe price of ordinary tin plate was $12 a ton, but it had fallen to and his firm had been obliged in 1886 to go out of that line of business. Then the rice had again gone up, since the competition 1ad been withdrawn. He produced before the committee samples of tin plates, sheet iron and taggers iron, explained the difference be- tween them and stated, in the courseof his explanation, that the more labor was put into sheet iron and the finer the work upon it wae, the less protection it received. In response to queries by Mr. Bur- rows, Mr.Cronmeyer said that to manufacture a box of tin plate in this country cost about $5.50, wbile in England it could be produced at $2.25 lees, the difference being attributed to the difference in the cost of labor, The present duty was not a pro- tective one, but that proposed by the Senate bill, while not as high as it ought to be, had the merit of being protective. If the tin plate industry could be built up in this country, it would support a number of equal to the population of New Y City. In conclusion Mr. Cronmeyer read an extract from the Iron Monger published at London, warning the Welsh tin-plate manufacturers of the effort being made in America to increase the duty on tbat artt- cle, but deciaring that those manufacturers bad enough friends inthe United States to defeat the scheme of the ultra-protectionists. Wm. Metcalf of Pittsburg, interested in the production of crucible steel, impressed upon the committee the fact that since a tariff had been placed on steel and iron the costto the consumer ofarticles manu- factured of these materials bad been reduced. He stated that he sold steel to Mr. Fisher to be used in the manufacture of anvils and that witbin twenty-one years, the price of this steel had fallen from 30 to 50 per cent. George T. Oliver, representing the manu- facturers of wire rods and wires, addressed the committee. He was well satisfied with the existing tariff on everything except wire rods. On this material he advocated a specific Guty of 6-10 of a cent a pound on rods not smaller than No. 5 wire gauge, and of 1 cent & pound on rods smaller than No. 45. Any reduction of duty on wire rods would inevitably advance the price of barbed-wire fencing and wire nails to the consumer. A. W. Campbellof West Vir- ginia, a manufacturer of cut nails, eontroverted a statement made by Mr. to the effect that nail was cheaper than cut nall, and he contended tust the contrary was the fact. He thought that the manu- facturers of soft steel should receive the same measure of protection as is accorded to the rodtcers of steel rails, and he expressed imself as satisfied with the provisions of the Senate bill.

It Is Now Stated That Mr. Schuarte Was In- terviewed by Editor McCullagh. The all-important point to be deter- mined before the contest for the St. Louis postmastership can be decided is as to to the genuineness of the in- terview purporting to have been granted by Mr. F. W. Schuarte to a reporter of the Globe- Democrat. This interview attracted great at- tention in Washington, and there is little doubt that, bad it not appeared, Mr. Schuarte would now be the possessor of a commission as postmaster ot the city of St. Louls. As stated in the Post-DIsPATCH his appointment had been decided upon and would have been made in afew days, when the statement of his participation in an at- tempt to shield Babcock by suppressing evi- dence in the whisky ring trials, purportin to be given by Mr. huarte himse caused a halt to be called. Some of those who had previously strongly favored his candidacy, itis said, withdrew thelr sup- Port as soon as they saw the statements in question, and declared that Mr. Schuarte’s appointment would be bie unless the ir authority successfully denied, To ascertain the truth or falsity of the article in question appeared an easy matter, butat the outset more than one serious obstacle was presented. A all was made upon Mr. Joseph B. Me- Cullagh, editor of the Globe-Democrat, by a POST- DISPATCA reporter, and an inquiry was made as to the authenticity of the interview. Mr. McOullagh, however, declined to say any- thing concerning the article. An attempt was also made to obtain some light on the situation from Mr. Schuarte himself, but with no better success. Mr. Schuarte would not admit thathe had made the statements ascribed to him, neither wonld he deny that he had done 80. Many of his friends, notably Mr. R. C. Kerens, asserted positively that the entire interview was bogus, but from neither Mr. Schuarte nor Mr. McCullagh could any positive assertion pro or con be obtained. In the meantime the appointment was hang- ing fire, it being understood by those ina po- sition to know that if the interview was proved to be bogus Mr. Schuarte would receive the appointment, and that if it was genuine some other man would be selected. The strange refusal of Mr. Schuarte to make a denial was by many believed to be because he had madethe statements to a reporter and that the circumstances were such as to render successful contradiction impossible. It now leaks out that the interview was genuine and that it was written by no less a personage than Mr. Joseph McCullagh. That entleman, the story goes, nad it rom Mr. Schuarte if the resence of Mr. D. M. Houser, who listened to the whole conversation, and can bear witness to the accuracy of the printed account of it. The alibi which was suggested at first by Mr. Schuarte’s friends, will, it appears, not stand, as it is a fact that Mr. Schuarte was in the city and a caller at the Globe- Democrat office on the — preceding the appearance of the in- terview. A Card From the Electric Light & Power Co. To the Editor af the Post- Dispatch: The morning Republic, in giving the testi- mony of Mr. Charles Gibson before the Com- mittee of the House of Delegates, would lead the public to believe that the Laclede Gas Co. had purchased the Missouri Electric Light & Power Co. I wish to state that the Laclede Gas Co. has no interest whatever in the Missouri Electric Light & Power Co. There has not a share of stock changed hands since the organization of the company, and this company has no inter- est or alliance with any other lighting com- pany. S. M. DopD, President.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—There was another re- markable change in the weather yesterday. New York was treated to a thunder storm. Wednesday’s phenomenal weather bade fair to continue all through yesterday. The morn- ing broke fine and clear with a temperature ol 48 degs., which had risen to 50 degs. when 9 o’clock was reached. Soon after 9, however, the sky suddenly became dull and overcast, but cleared off within afew minutes. About 10:30 heavy, lead - colored clouds began to roll up and overspread the sky until the city was wrapped in deep gioom. The air became al- most suffocating in its oppressiveness. Just before noon the rumble of thunder was heard, growing louder and louder, until it culmi- nated in several fierce crashes that shook the window panes and gas lamps of the office windows downtown. Now and again vivid streaks of ilightning flashed across the black ness ofthesky. Great, heavy drops of rain splashed upon the pavement and continued falling for several minutes. Directly the rain ceased the clouds vanished, the sky cleared againasif by magic and thesuncame out. Then New York awoke to the fact that, on the 26th of December, in what should be midwin- ter, it had been treated toa midsummer elec- tric thunaer-storm. CHRISTMAS TIDE.

Speciai Correspondence of POsT-DIsPATCH. ARIS, Dec. 15.—The most brilliant mati- nee musicale of the season took place re- cently at the Hotel Continental in the elegant series of rooms appertaining to the suite occupied dy Mrs. J. C. Ayer, who was the hostess “ ofthe occasion. She was superbly arrayed in a tollette of cream white faille, in wide stripes figured with large pale tinted flowers in their nat- These stripes alternated with seul brown satin, brocaded with a small device in gold yellow silk. The corsage was cut slightly open, and was trimmed with ruf- fles of white lace. Around the iady’a throat was clasped a magnificent necklace composed of alternating large diamonds and pearls. She was assisted in receiving by Mrs. John Sher- wood. Amongst the guests were the Duke and Duchess de Pomar, the Count and Countess Kessler, the Princess Ruspoli, Prince Ghika, the Prince de Looz-Oorswarem, the Prince de Valori, the Pringe Della Rocca, Mr. and Mrs. G. P. A. Healy, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bridgman, Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey Moore, Mrs. Wolden Pell, Missa ‘Stevens of Washington, Miss Oglesby, Miss Lawrence, M. de Biowitz, the Paris correspendent of the London Times, to., etc. As is almost the invariable case in Paris just now, the star was an American giil, our young and beautiful countrywoman, Miss Eames, who sang in publie for the first time since her recent severe illness prior to making reentree at the Grand Opera, «which she did, by the way, on the following evening in the role of Juliet, receiving a perfeot ovation from the audience). The rooms of Mrs. Ayer were most delightfully arranged, fullspace and opportunity being given for those who wanted to taik to carry on a con- versation without disturbing the musicians and those who ENJOYED THE MUSIC. Two special rooms were thrown open for this purpose, so that those persons who, as an elderly American lady of my acquaintance once declared to me, ‘‘ Disliked to be squeaked at by violoncellos g without a chance of escape,’’ could greet their friends in peace and comfort. Refreshments were provided on an amplestaie, and altogether nothing had heen omitted that could add to the pleasure ot the occasion. On the following day Mrs. Ayer was at home to herfriendsimformaliy, and worea tollette ot such exquisite tase that, being fond of beautiful dresses, I must{nceds describe it. It was insilver gray brocade, the back and sides ofthe skirt made with a wide cut- off flounce with a narrow beading. An over- dress in crepe de Chine of the same hue, embroidered with silver gray floss silk, tell in a deep point over the skirt front, and was drawn in graceful drapery across the bust, being fastened at theleft side with a diamond arrow, onthe shaft of which was set a large solitaire. Mrs. Ayer has exceptionally small aml finely formed hands and feet, and her dainty little embroidered satin slippers, open- worked silk stockings and long gloves of undressed kid were all in the same shade of silver-gray as her dress, arefined finish of the tollette too often neglected by American ladies who are otherwise well dressed, but which furnishes a noteworthy element in the taste for which Parisian belles are so famous, They understand all these minor details of the toilette to perfection. A French woman may be indifferentto dress from some reason or other, and so may be careless as to the fit of her gloves or the cut of her shoes, but if she goes in for elegance of attire at all she does it thoroughly well. Mrs. John W. Mackay was another of my countrywomen who compre- hends fully all the minutio of elegant dress, and she maintains all the PELICACY OF HER TASTE in toilette despite the demoralizing effect in that respect of a residence in England. I rejoiced very much at the verdict given In Mrs. Mackay’s favor lately against the editor of the Manchester Zraminer, who had pub- lished malicious falsehoods concerning her. Some people have declared that it would have been more dignified on the lady’s part to have suffered these falsehoods to have passed unnoticed. Such, however, is not my opin- ion! Mrs. Mackay has bravel and silently borne a series 0 just such attacks in the American as well as in the European press, taking no notice, though pained, as any woman of delicate and sensi- tive feelings must be, by such unprovoked abuse and such malicious inventions. A lady of great personal beauty and of singuiar re- finement of person and manner, and of nature as well, highly educated and accomplished, generous and kind-hwarted toa fault, an ad- mirable hostess and s patriotic Ameri- can, she has seen her appearance and personality villified, and ridiculous incidents and anecdotes invented about her (without even the slightest foundation of truth for these last) in a most shameful way. Witness the story of her wurking to buy the Arc de Triomphe, an obsurd invention that is brought forward reguiarly every few months in some newspaper or another, either at home or abroad, and In which there is not a shadow of truth. Witness too the statement that when she gave a * dinner party in honor ofthe Prince of Wales, her royal guest refused to sit at the same table with the rest of the company and dinner was served for him in a separate room. That, too, was sheer invention. The Prince took his hostess intodinner as does any favored guest to 3 such an entertainment is given, and he 8a ural colors. narrow dnes in AT HER RIGHT HAND throughout the whole repast, behaving just as any well-bred gentleman does under similar circumstances. And despite unpleasant sur- roundings and position in European so- ciety, continental as well as English, Mrs. Mackay has always remained most genuinely and enthusiastically Ameri- can. Her beautiful home and her superb entertainments are always open to her own eountry people; and her old friends of by- gone days always meet with a warm welcome at her hands. nd now I think it 1s high time that she should take measures for opposing these continual and causeless attacks. We are all much interested in the produo- tion of the next novelty at the Grand Opera. It is the long- talked -of ‘‘Zaire’’ of . Veronge 0 la Nux, the libretto of which is an adaptation of Voltaire“ tragedy of the same name. That tragedy was a Frenchification of Shak- speare’s Othello for though Voltaire was wont roundly to abuse the great English dramatist, he did not scrupleto steal from him. Oros- mane, the Parisianized Othello, is a Turkish Sultan and a translation of the drama formed for many years a prominent feature in the repertoire of Salvini. When the piece was lastagain at the Comedie Francaise Sarah Bernhardt impersonated Zaire and made an immense hit in the character and Mounet- Sully was quite ass ssful as Orosmane. At the Grand Opera M. alle, the superb bari- tone aud greatest of all the French singers that now adorn the lyric stage, will be the Orosmane and Miss Eames will lend her beauty of person and voice to the role of Zaire. It is the first time that the honor of ‘‘creating’’ a character has been accorded to AN AMERICAN SINGER and certainly no other prima donna now upon the stage of that establishment could have so well been chosen to embody the poetry and pathos 2 the figure of this Oriental Desde - mona. e rehearsals of the new o are to be Degun to-morrow, and the first per- formance is promised for the first weeks of the New Year.

A meeting of citizens of IIlinois City and that part of School District, No. 2, lying in the township adjoining, was held last night at the White School-house. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the subject. ot building a new i ~»publiic school-house. Leading citizens to the num- ber of about seventy-five attended the meet- ing. Levi Baugh was made Chairman and David Miller Secretary of the meeting. The subject under consideration was discussed by several persons who are interested in the movement, and the necessity of having a new school- house bullt in the district was set forth at length. The sentiment of the meeting was almost universally in favor of the move- ment. The district, which embraces most of Illinois City and considerabie outlying * has about $7,000 In cash and available securities, none of which is required to be expended the maintenance of the schools. The outcome of the meeting was an agreement to request the directors to order an election to be held as soon as possible under the law to vote on the question of issuing 4 per cent bonds to the amount of ,000, to run ten years, with which, together with the money in the Distfict Treasury, the baiid- ing isto be put up. It is designed to erecta fine brick building, gwith no leas than eight rooms, to be modeled after the style the Franklin Bulid- recently constructed in East St. Louis. The structure is to be put up on the site of the White school, which is a frame building and will be torn down. There is scarcely a doubt that the school-house will be built, as not only do the citizens of the district favor its construction almost unan!i- mously, but the directors and trustees with- out exception sanction the move. great neea of such an addition to the school accommodations of the district, as the white building is overcrowded and numbers of children are sent to the Howe building in the East Louls district. Supt. Rafter has the Directors notice that after the Ist of Janu no more pupils of the Second District will be ad- mitted to the Howe School, as that building is also overcrowded, so it will be seen that the proposed new school-house is an absolute necessity.

Time passed without bringing any tidings ot her husband and she obtained a divorce on the ground of.desertion. More than a year ago she met Herbert M. Smith of Birmingham. An attachment sprang up and they were mar- ried. Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Smith, with the latter’s child, came to this city to spend Christmas with Mrs. Smith's mother. Linck, who had been living in a remote Western city and amassed some wealth, decided to return to Bridgeport and see his wife and child. He nad no knowledge of the divorce proceedings or his wife’s marriage, but when he arrived here Christmas Day he learned the truth. Although disappointed and grieved, Linck took the situation philo- sophically, shook hands with his matrimonia! successor and the entire party sat down for a pleasant social chat. The interview between himself and daugnter wasa very affectionate one. During the day Mr. Linck and Mrs, Smith took a atroll about the city, he stepping into a jeweler’s and purchasing a handsome Christ- mas present for his daughter and a diamond ring for Mrs. Smith.

Rev. Dr. Talmage, although abroad, is no unre ented in the religious pees at home.. In the forthcoming number of the New York (Presbyterian) he will have the fol- lowing pregnant paragraph on creeds and their critics: . „All intelligent people have creeds—that 18, favorite theories which they have adopted. Political creeds—that is, theories about tariff, about finance, about civil service, about gov- eroment. Social creéds—that theories about manners and custom and good neigh- borhood, Esthetleal creeds—that is, theories about tapestry, about bric-a-brac, about styles or ornamentation. Religious creeds—that is, theories about the 1 about the soul, about * the great future. The only being who has no creed about anything isthe idiot. This scof- fing against creeds is always a sign of pro- found ignorance on the part of the scoffer, for he has himselfa hundred creeds in regard to other ee, In our time the belicfs Evangelistic Churches are under a fusilade of CARICATURE AND MISREPRESENTATION. Men sét up what they call orthodox faith, and they rake it with the musketry of their denun- ciation. They falsify what the Christian churches believe. They take Evangelical doctrines and set them in a harsh and re- pulsive way, and put them out of the association with other truths. They are like a mad anatomist, who, desiring to tell what a man is, dissects a human body and hangs up in one place the heart and in another place the two lungs, and in another place an ankle bone and says that is a man. They are only fragments of a man wrenched out of their God-appointed places.’’ Apropos it is said that Pastor Talmage, who is estimated to be worth $100,000, expects to clear $50,000 on his ‘‘Life of Christ,’’ which will be ready for publication next spring. Rev. Dr. J. A. Roche of Brooklyn (Method- ist), has been the innocent cause ofa storm discussion onthe vexed question of chure attendance. His recent speech in the Meth- odist Preachers’ Meeting in Philadelphia was interpreted as a frank admission that Method- ism, long the most potent denomination in the United States, was on the decline. He was quoted as saying that the New York churches, although they had put forth all their energies and placed the best available talent in the pulpits, were none of them more than half filled, and that ali had to look to the societies for support. This Rev. Dr. Roche denies and declares that Methodism was never more prosperous than now. He explains thatthe great trouble encountered by his denonimation results from the radical change in the character of population in large cities—a trouble which other churches have avoided by removal, while the Methodists have remained at their old locations, and struggled on in the face of obstacies. »The agitation among Presbyterians over the creed is in the direction of emendation merely,’’ said Rev. Dr. John R. Paxton of the Forty-second Street Presbyterian Church, New York. ‘*We still retain predestination, but wish to do away with someof its hard features. The portion of the creed teaching this point does not say that there are non- elect infants, but implies it, and asserts so much by the inference. WHEN CALVIN LIVED, there were no republics, and in contempla- tion of the monarchial sovereignity every- where visible, the subject was overlooked. In their view of God, His sterner attributes alone were considered. If three criminals were drowning, He might save one to glorify him- self; the other two, who were lost, could not complain, as they deserved their fate. It is desirable to so modify the creed that it will embody less exclusively the sovereignity of God and more pointedly His love and mercy. Presbyterians will still be Calvanists.’’ Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor, the distin- guished Congregationalist, says: ‘‘The habit of church going is declining in some classes of society and gaining in others. lam beginning to feel more concern about the rich than about the poor on account of the growing neglect of the church and of the lack of interest in re- ligion that pervades the higher circles of so- et ve This somewhat startling statement is par- tially explained by the Rev. W. H editor of the Independent, who says: churches do not encounter any difficulty on account of the decadence of the popular in- terest in religion. The troubie is rather with the theological schoole which, while they afford excellent instruction in Greek, Hebrew and Theology, fail to give proper attention to Homiletics. Their students become scholars but not teachers and do not understand how to properly write and deliver their sermons. Many preachers deliver well-written essays that lack practical point and effectiveness. The result is tame, apathetic and listiess con- gregations, who are never aroused by the preacher’s dull and aimless efforts.’’ Po the theological seminaries get as good a class of students as formerly?“ was asked. „Tes; they get their full share of the best men gruduated from the colleges every year. Of course, they do get poor material some- times. Ifthe theological schools would only modify thelr systems so as to afford students proper training in pulpit oratory, the power of theclergy for good would be greatly aug- mented.’’ „A LEADING TOPIO among Presbyterians is the revision of their confession, which must be settled by a con- sensus of all the Presbyterian bodies through the medium of the Pan-Presbyterian alli- ance,’’ added Dr. Ward. ‘‘Curiously enough, in the programme of the Evangelical Alliance at Boston, last week, there was no mention of the status of the colored race in the churches. The omission was probably intentional, and caused by a desire to avoid any discussion of the subject. The Methodist, Episcopal, Con- egational, Presbyterian and 3 hurches areequally affected. Bishop John D. Newman (Methodist) recently declared that he had ceased to desire a union of the North- ern and Southern Methodist bodies and hoped to see three general Conferences; the North- ern, the Southern and the Oolored Confer- ences. Considerable interest is felt in the result of the Evangelical Alliance Conference in Bos- ton. One of the principal topics of discussion was The Needs of the Rural Districts.’’ Last summer the Alliance made a canvass of forty townships in New York State, one witha population of 620 and an average attendance ef 25 in euch of the twochurches, another with 8 population of 1,200and an average church attendance of 50 or less than 1 in 12. Co-opera- tive house-to-house visitation is proposed as a remedy forthis apathy. The investigation showed that the church-going population in the rural districts is much smaller in propor- tion to the whole than in the cities. It is unsafe to base conclusions as to the state of the churches in the cities of New York and Brooklyn,’’ saidthe Rev. Dr. Elder, a leading Baptist divine. ‘‘In those cities four- fifths of the population are of foreign birth or extraction. Religious progress was er so great as now. In the cities names between 1882 and 1887, the Episcopalians increased their communicants from 25,723 to 33,908; Pres- byterians, 21,520 to 23,016; Methodists, 12,856 to 12,981; Baptists, 13,027 to 13,689; Reformed Church, 6,869 to 7,281; Oongregationalists, 2,449 to 2,515. The Methodists and Baptists hold the third and fourth places in New York, but they lead in the country asawhole. The Baptists are building many new and fine churches, and Imay say that we are increas- ing our rolling stock if we are not carrying many more passengers. A FAMILY POISONED.

The closing of the yearin the mining mar- ket continues very dull, as it has been for several weeks. The only feature is the strength of Granite Mountain and talk of tradingin it on margins. If this could be done there is little doubt that it would add life to the market. Samoa, an unlisted stock, is in demand. — The quotations on callthis morning were: The sales were: 100 mall Hopes at 80, and 150 at 7742; 100 Yuma at 4744, and 100 at 45; 100 West Granite at 76%; 100 Budd at 18%; 500 Tourtelotte at 4. = = Samoa sold 300 shares at 33%, and was bid ZA for sometime. This falling to bring out any more stock the buyers began offering at Nai and then at 31%, but it had no effect. se There was considerable inquiry this morn- ingas to whether Elizabeth would be substi- tuted for West Granite in the listed stocks. President Abeles said that remained with the directors. The precedent is that a stock suc- ceeding a listed stock must be regularly listed, the same as a new stock. BID. | ASK. || BID.

At this season of the year real estate agents are engaged chiefly in paying taxes and making out balance sheets, and most of them are very busy at that justnow. With house renters who have an extensive list of tenants to look after, this work of making out annual balance sheets to show property owners their losses or gains for the year is quite a tedious task. The bulkof the year’s taxes will have been paid within the next few days but the annual settiements between agents and owners willrun on well into the middle of next month. A NEW OPERATOR.

A warrant will be sworn out against Calhoun for assault. RULED AT HIGH FIGURES. The Continued Stringency in the New Yerk Money Market. NEw Tonk, Dec. 27.—The continued strin- gency in money became more marked to-day and from the opening of the Stock Exchange the loaning rates ruled at high figures. In the first half hour loans were renewed at 9 per cent and the first loan of money on call was made at 10 per cent. The rate quickly moved up to 12, then to 18, 20, 25 and 30, and it was stated thatsome loans were privately made at above 80. The prices then fell back to 20 and a large amount was required at that figure. The prices of stocks were well sustained inthe face ofthe stringent money market and some of the speciaities made slight advances. The Post in its financial article says: By 11 o’ciock this forenoon money began to be scarce at 12 per cent; in a few minutes it was up to 18 per cent and shortly after 12 there was a brief panicky sort of bidding for it, which carrie the rate up 30 er cent, at which some smal! amounts were oaned, though ina few minutes it was back again to 20 per cent. This, of course, had an effect to depress prices, though not nearl so much as many »peo- pie thought, and it was the subject of general comment that, whereas, when the money rate was 12 per cent, the majority of stocks were % to % lower than last night, they only declined % to i more when the rate for money mounted up to 30 per cent. The higher rate for money caused a further reduc- tion in the rates for sterling exchange, which is now dowrto about the gold importing price and the probability that a continuance of the high rates for money for even a day or two would correct itself by bringing in imports of gold was a source of encouragement to holders of stocks. THE BRACE WAR IN GEORGIA. Bob Brewer and His Gang Hunted by Hounds—All Quiet. JESSUP, Ga., Dec. 27.—Quiet reigns here.

On both Universelle of 1889 the or yy lodged a the Paris hotels presented following to- tals: English, 65,194; Belgians, 42,221; Ger mans, 22,812; Austrians, 11,688; Italians, 14,- 258; Americans , 869; . ; Dutch, 9,959; Spaniards, 14, 143; Greeks, 19,182; Bra- zilians, 2,119; Danes, 2,217; Portuguese, 3,080; Roumaniaos, 8,414; Russiane, 11,006; Swedes and Norwegians, 8,175; Turks, 1, 19; South Americans, 14,301; Africans, 581; Huiopeans (small States), 872; Oceanians 171. It is esti- mated that, whether from negligence or from other causes, the omissions from the registers during the fiVe months in question have averaged 500 per day. The French provincial visitors numbered, in May last, 150,130; in June, 158,855; in July, 163 ; tin Auguste, 178,- 479; and in September, 179,739. With both the native and foreign visitors, therefore, to the French metropolis since the commencement of the exhibitioa, the Increase has been stead- ily sustained month by month. A correlative increase is reported among hotels of all kinds. At the opening of the Exhibition there were 101,015 establishments in Paris returned as furnished premises for letting purposes. Their accommodation con- sisted of 169,70 rooms. On the Ist of June these establishments had increased to the to * with 171,181 rooms; ber to 10,853, with 171,194 rooms, Of course, in addition to the duly licensed and authorized premises, such as the hotels and lodging houses, large numbers of private apartments have been sublet by their tenants, the latter retiring early in the season to far cheaper premises intbe suburbs gr the coun- try or at the seaside. To the middle class housebolders of tne Madeleine and Chaussee d' Antin quarters prompt examples were set by titled occupants of mansions in the Fau- bourg 8t. Germain itself. The temporary disppearance of their sump- tuous banqueting halls, in ordinary times often empty, but none the less useful for pur- oses of show, has formed a noteworthy eature about certain of the principal hotels. One of the best known of these halls, com- monly styled the Salon du Zodiaque, under- went its process of absorption inacouple of days only. A host of carpenters and up- holsterers turned the Salon du Zodiaque into twenty chambers, either single or doubie bedded. Atthe Grand Hotelthe entire staff, numbering more thantwo hundred persons, bad to camp out for the first fortnight of the exhibition; their garrets were turned into bed chambers for the benefit of the public at the rate of from f. 5 to f. 7 per night, attendance not included. As one resu! of the closing of the exhibition, some considerable diminu- tion must take place in the number of Paris hotels. The following figures, how- ever, give the number of persons staying at four of the principal hostleries during the first five months of the exhibition: At the Grand Hotei, in May, 1,012; in June, 1,965; in uly, 823; in August, 1,040; in September, 702. t the Terminus (St. Lazare), in May, 344; In June, 555; in July, 550; in August, 560; in Sep- tember, 610. At the Louvre,in May, 260; in June, 260; in July, 262; in August, 252, and in September, 300. o conclude with statistics of a different order, the October returns from the Paris theaters show that the total receipts for the month were 3,492,192f. as compared with 2,656,981f. for the same month in 1878, and 1,965, 811f. in 1867. The whole receipts at the Paris theaters during the three exhibi- tfons, respectively, are returned at: In 1867, gp im 1878, 18,074,927f.; and in 1889, 1 * * * A London journal says: From the final statement of the exhibition receipts and er- penditure it appears that the latter exceeded the former by 17,000,000f. The deficit was met by a subsidy of 18,000,000 f. from the State and 7,000, f. from the city but these subventions cannot be regarded as legitimate revenue. The experience of Paris, therefore, may be accepted as decisive on the point whether international exhibitions can be made to pay their way. The answer is that they cannot.’’ AN EX-PRESIDENT IN RETIREMENT. Mr. Oleveland’s Popularity Said to Be In- creased by His Conduct in Private Life. Mr. Cleveland’s career as President is his public conduct as an ex-President. He House he has been a resident of this city, and opponents mus admit that he hasjborne himself in his new to his fellow-men with a mixture of dignity and sim plicity that is certainly advancing him in pop- ular regard. Bishop Potter not long ago spoke of Mr. Cleveland as a natural man! meaning a man without affectation or pre- tense—and certainly since he left Washington Mr. Cleveland has been conducting himself in the most unaffected manner possible, not for- getting on the one hand that he has been President of the United State, and on the other hand carrying himself like the simplest of private citizens, asking no favors on ac- count of the high office he has filled. It Mr. Oleveland’s ambition is to secure a renomina- tion for President he is §6certainly one of the cleverest politicians in America, for he is pursuing just that course which is most likely to increase his popularity with the people without involving himin un- ge a antagonisms. The greatest artist is e who accomplisbes the most with the least effort, and that is what the ex-President ap- pears to be able to do. Mr. Oleveland’s re- cent remark at the Chamber of Vommerce dinner, in answer to the question, ‘‘What shall be done with our ex-Presidents?’’ that the best way is to let them alone and give them a chance to earn their living like other citizens, illustrates one phase of his present rule of conduct. Mr. Cleveland has gone to work, and all Americans like to see a man at work. But whiie he has returned to the practice of his profession, Mr. Cleveland has kept himself clear from any business alliances that would be apt to reflect in any way on the good name of the high office he has filled. Of course,fhe has deen overrun with applications to become director in this company or trustee in that. Every man who has a scheme, * 2 or otherwise, is, of course, anxious have the name of the ‘‘Hon. Grover Cleveland, ex-President of the United States, figure in the list of promoters. But Mr. Cleveland has turned a deaf ear to any proposals that an ex-President ought not to accept. To one man who came to him witha business proposition, and one that was fectly legitimate, too, Mr. d said: should like to accept that. to be money in it, but I the people of the United like to see an ex-President engaged in such an enterprise. In lke manner Mr. Cleveland has apparently kept aloof from all participation in local politics, either in this State or elsewhere.

A FEATHERED POLICEMAN, A Curious Bird That Preserves Order Among His Companions. From the London Globe. The description given by a contemporary to-day of the cariamas or seriemas, located in the eastern aviary of the Zoological Gardensg willamuse everybody, while it should not’ surprise anyone. That there should be among birds a species which is fitted to perform among its kind the duties undertaken among men by policemen, is a fact for which all ought to prepared. Why should not each variety of created things have in its midst the seme sort of functions and functionaries, modified according to cir- cumstances and habit? More than one picto- rial artist—as, for instance, C. H. Bennett in this country—have shown us what marvelous resemblances birds and other animais can be made to bear, and actually do bear, to man; and if humanity finds it necessary to have policemen, why should not the ‘*feathered tribes’’ be similarly impelled?

THE summeriness of the Christmas weather was emphasized! by a thunder sterm following the hot spell and bring- ing in its wake a wave of cooler at- mosphere. The storm, which was severe in several sections of the country, did not reach St. Louis, but its refreshing: results are welcome. - * Tue prominent opposition of the old gas combine to the new gas steal does not help the square fight of the citizens of St. Louis against that measure. Citizens do not want to defeat the new measure because they love the gas trust more, but because they do not want the treasury robbe i by apy kind of gas scheme. It is not necessary to let one robber into the house to drive out t another. CouncILMAN Compent 1 that one ot the jokes among the Councilmen was to approach a member, sniff the air, and say, ‘‘I smell gas on your clothes.“ This | was pretty jest and was doubtless very St. Louis Host-Dis 3 : ' PUBLISHED BY amusing, but perhaps some of the Coun- cilmen will find that to have the taint of gas about them will not be. such a laugh- ing matter. The odor of gas on a city legislator is hard to get rid of. a Tux Russian Czar is afflicted with influ- enza, but it does not trouble him nearly as much as that other Russian complaint which is epidemic in the empire—nihilism. Another university, that at Odessa, has been closed, because of the spread of nihilism among the students. The Czar has tried severe medicine to cure it with- out effect; perhaps, if he would try sooth- ing balm in the form of freedom and con- stitutional government he would allay its virulence. CONGRESS voted down a resolution to raise the salary of an employe from $1,500 to $2,000. The refusal to grant the in- crease was placed on the basis of econ- omy. This was well enough, perhaps, but it will not count for much in the opinion of the country if Congressmen vote to refund out of the public treasury the Congressional salaries which SILCOTT took to Canada with him. The vote in favor of such a measure would make a good retirement list. 1 599—— — * nn No MAN with equal opportunity per- sonally contributed more to encouraging the renewal of fraternal sympathy and regard between the North and the South than the late Henry W. Grapy. Let the proposed monument to his memory, for which an appeal for funds has been issued, be made to commemorate also the death of sectionalism and the burial of war bitterness and not a patriotic citizen would refuse to contribute to it. The true value of Mr. Grapy’s life and work lies in this direction. — — — ſ—ñ THE investigation of the House Ways and Means Committee merely reveals that those who are benefited by a partic- ular duty want it retained and those who are injured by itor have merely the in- terest in it common tothe whole country want it reduced or abolished, Thus the fight over how much protection we shall have and where it shall be placed is a fight of private interests for govern- mental favor. The lesson of it is that Congress should have nothing to do with favoring one or another class of citizens, but should legislate for the benefit of all— that is. abolish all protection for class or individual interests. — ro - ——— Tux proof that Millionaire Brice is a resident of New York, where he lives, keeps an office and transacts his business, seems to be about as positive and conclu- sive as that provision of the Constitution which requires that a Senator shall be an inhabitant of the State he represents. A good deal depends on the locality a man claims as his home, and the Senate, in spite of that provision of the Constitution, permits San Francisco men to represent the rotten borough of Nevada straight along. The safest course for the Ohio Democrats in the Brice case is to leave him in his Wall street office, and elect some man who lives in Ohio and not in New York. The latter is a great State, but not entitled to three Senators, — ſ—— — — — — PRESIDENT HARRISON’S organ at in- dianapolis points with pride to the im- mense preponderance of Northern men in Speaker REED’s. committees, and says that the absence of such a preponderance in Speaker CARLISLE’S committees proves the identification of one party with the South andthe other party with the North. A further analysis of the two sete of com- mittees still more closely identifies Speaker REED’s party with the subsidy lobby, the tariff barons, the land grab- bers, the allied railroad interests and the plutocracy in general. The farmers and the other great producing classes who ask no exclusive benefits and want only to be protected from robber legislation, had a far better show on CARLISLE’S com- mittees, —_———————_— oa) — — In order to head off the Supreme Court decision that a State law cannot prevent commerce between States, the lowa Pro- hibitionists have put forward Senator WILSON with a bill to transfer the con- trol of interstate commerce from Congress to the States. He proposes that Congress shall enact a statute forbidding interstate railroads to carry into any State anything the sale of which is forbidden by State law. Such a statute, if constitutional, would simply enable any State to forbid the importation of any and all products of other States—not only liquors and tobacco but books, newspapers or any goods which the people of the State might choose to brand as immoral and unwholesome. Congress cannot, by statute pretending to regulate commerce between the States, transfer to them the power which the con- stitution expressly forbids them to exer- cise and confers upon Congress exclusive- ly. WHEN DUDLEY’s blocks of five let- ter“ was published and Judge Woops of the United States District Court at Indianapolis suddenly reversed one of his own decisions in order to knock out the indictment of Dupizy for election bribery, there was scan; dal enough in the apparent execu- tive interference against the ordinary course of law. But this scandal has been aggravated by still worse appearances during the recent visit which Dup- LEY ventured to make to Indianapo- lis after an absence continued since the publication of his letter a year ago. An affidavit was sworn out against him on his arrival, but United States Com mis- sioner VAN BUREN refused to issue it to an District Attorney, who suppressed it and notified the Commissioner that he would appear and dismiss any prosecution of DupueEy if the latter were arrested on ac- count of that letter. On its face thisis a flagrant case of Executive control exerted over the machinery of the courts to pre- vent the prosecution i and d trial of hoodlers. The Fight Against Vest. From the St. Joseph Gazette. It may be that the Times, like the Republican press, ie doing thie work gratuitously, be- cause it hates Vest, and rather than see him returned, would hand over a Senatorship to a Democrat who favors high tariff, or to the president of a railroad company who feels aggrieved at Vest's unwavering champlion- ship of the rights of the people, or to a millionaire statesman who was graduated in the doubtful atmosphere of the grain ex- change, or to anybody else having the necessary cash to secure the prize. It may ve, we say, that the Times is fighting the battles of the enemies of Vest gratuitously, but the fact that it is a fashion of the times for millionaires and corporations to buy Senatorships row and then, especially when incumbents have made themselves par- ticularly offensive to our lords and masters, the Goulds and the O’ Days, the Armours and the porkocrats generally; the fact that the boodie is the mainstay of just such political movements as that lately inaugurated against Vest, will incline many to suspect that the „bar“!!! bas been tapped and that the Times, thus early in the fight, is on somebody’s puy- roll. Messrs. O'Day and Chandler have money and this Is the golden era of fat-fryers. Judging from the testimony thus far intro- duced, the Times is a fat-fryer. — Reed’s Master-Hand on the Comm ittees From the Chicago News. Mr. Reed’s list of committees reeks with genius. It reveals that the able gentieman in the ohair let few opportunities escape him. On its face it shows that, so far as the more important questions to come before the House are concerned, Mr. Reed has conatituted him- self a majority ofthat body. The coming leg- isiation on gubsidies, Pacific rallroads, the tariff, naval affairs and a score of other mat- ters has already taken its color from the man who made up the committees. The power lodged in the hands of the Speaker is almost unlimited, and the brainy gentieman from Maine in his appointments has had the wit to use that power for all it is worth. Reversing : the Country's Traditions. From the New York WORLD. The Republican Adminigtration, in pursuit ofsome strangely inexplicable purpose, has reversed the traditions of the country and as- sumed an attitude of repelient coldness tow- ards the new sister Republic, an attitude closely copied from that of fhe Old World despotisms, and the Senators of that panty have yielded themselves to White House dic- tation. But what do the liderty-loving people of the United States, who believe in the Declaration of Independence and the American system of government, think of the transaction? _ & Remarkable Mav. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Joseph Pulitzer, who put Bartholdi’s **LIb- erty Lighting the World“ on its pedestal, has now commissioned the same sculptor to put Washington and Lafayette in bronze for a colossal monument which Mr. Pulitzer will present tothe City of Paris. Mr. Pulitzer is certainly a very remarkable man, and the New York Ford must make a deal of money to enable him to spend $50,000 on such a notion. Entirely in Their Line. From the Philadelphia Record. Senator Sherman and some of his party associates declared the other day in debate that they preferred the Empire of Dom Pedro to the new republic that has arisen in Brazil. Such an avowal of political fath on the part of these Senators seems to have been hardly necessary in view of the encouragement given by them to the imperial billof John Sherman for suppressing free elections in this country. The Offer Still Open. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. We take pleasure in announcing that our offer of $1,000 to William Wade Dudley for an affidavit denying that he wrote the ‘‘blocks« of-five’’ letter, as published in the Sentine/, is still open, and the money can be had at any time. Alas! From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Perhaps Columbus Delano could tell the public exactly as to whether Mary's little lamb ig dead or not. The decrease of sheep under the high tariff may include Mary’s small mut- ton, alas! Chandler’s Electi6én Bill. From the Philadelphia Record. Senator Chandler's plan of carrying elections is based upon blocks of ten’’ instead of ‘*blocks of five.’’ But the Demoerats in Con- gress will block the whole game. Fresh Water Culture For Convicts.

He cannot use a rifle at all. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. Miss AMELIA B. EDWARDS does not like New York. LADY PAUNCEFOTE bas madea vieasing im- pression on Washington society.

The buyers of mutton are in a pugzie as to the future prospects of getting that class of meat. At the Union Stock Yards in North St. Louis there is a dearth of sheep, though they are wanted and wanted badly. William Janes, a large buyer of sheep in the St. Louis market, said to-day: It is usual for all of the pens atthe Union yards to be empty every day, and all through this year there has been a scarcity never before known since the establishment of the Union Yards. 9 time ey have not been enough sheep at the yards to satisfy the ac- tual demands of the trade. Al! kinds of sheep are needed, from the poorer to the very choigest lambs. Good prices are paid, better than the Chicago market can meet. Take to- day’s current prices for inetance, which ranged from 8.35 as the lowest to $5.50 for the better and choicest material. One thing seems Very certain in regard to this trade, that unless Missouri growers come up more actively the Texas sheep rancbes will be 8 on to fill the existing void in the mar- et.’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS H.

But Sohindler did not appear. **Call him on hig bond,” ordered Judge Cady from the bench. „But there ig no pond, your honor, re- plied the Marshal. ‘‘The defendant’s name is on the confined docket.’’ While the ¢ourt officials were worrying themselves into a fret over the mysterious disappearance of the man, Patrolman Schmidt stepped up to the bar. Julius Schindler js dead, your Honor,“ he sald. Such proved to bea fact. At that very mo- ment, when the court was in waiting to pass sentence on one more unfortunate’’ for in- dnlging in a hilarious holiday drunk, the body of the victim lay stiff and cold on a marbie slab in the Morgue. Jullus Schindler had answered for his offense at the bar above. A QUEER STORY. About 1 o'’eleck yesterday afternoon Pa- trolmen Schmidt and Nugent af the Second Police District, in compliance with orders from Capt. Boyd, proceeded to the house in the rear of 1725 South Broadway. Dr. Furber bad reported that a Mrs. Fleichmas, who he had been attending at the above number, was sick and in destitute cir-* cumstances, It was to see whether or not the woman desired to be removed to the City Hospital that the officers called. As they moved up the stairs, Patrolman Schmidt is the lead, a man ran from behind a convepient wall and struck viciously at them with a hatchet. The weapon narrowly missed Nu- gent’s head and struck Schmidt on the arm. 4 moment later the fellow was disarmed and recognized as one Adam Giegerich, the roprietor of a pretzel bakery in the first oor of the builuing. Giegerich, itis alleged, has served @ en- tence in the prison bakery at Jefferson City. He has been concerned in a number of sorapes of a less serious nature during his long residence in this city and was at this time under two donde for appearance in the Court of Criminal Correction to anewer to charges of petit larceny and receiving Sela property preferred against him for ALLEGED COMPLICITY IN THE ROBBERY of a St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rall way freight car a few days ago, in which Private atchman French is said to have played a prominent part. Giegerich probably thought the officers were after him again and was in just desperate enough a mood to resist arrest. Glegerich was taken to the station. While the policemen were leaving the house they came upon Julius Schindler in an entry.

But Twenty-Nine Failures Com- pared to Fifty-One for Last Year, Several of the Twenty-Nine, With Large Liabilities and Small Assets, Legacies From Former Years—The Saddlery Trade Growing to Even Greater Proportions— Furniture Jobbers Work Night and Day to Fill Orders—Trade in Old Mexico Be- coming a Feature—St. Louis Leads the West as a Coffee Market-—Importations Made Direct—The Spice Market Also Advances to the Position of Leader—The Produce Dealers Have a Good Year Also St. Louis, on All Sides, Taking Position as the Best Distributing Center in the Central and Western Portion of the United States. HE business of St. Louls for 1889 contin- ues to show very well. Inquiries made in al! directions fall to show any cause of com- plalnt. The merchants generally are very Wel) satisfied with the year’s footings. In the retail lines dealing in seasonable goods there is, of course, & great deal of disappointment, as large stocks of winter goods will have to be sacrificed or earried over, but even these lines will make a good showing on the full year. In addition to the inquiries made by the Post- DisrATCA, the mercantile agencies have reports from all branches of trade of aconfirmatory character. Mr. John Yonng of the Dun Agency, in reply to a question, this morning said they had found the year’s business generally very sat- isfactory, and much of it very good. As show- ing the general condition of trade the follow- ing comparisons are given on failures this year and last: 1888, Quarter * ¥e ear. . $893,626 $813,119 : 8. 418.634 . . $817,201 THE SHOWING atfirst glance is liable to impress one un- favorably, on account of the small assets in 1889. It is not so regarded by the mercantile agencies, however, or by the business publie, as the fallures for 1839 were but twenty-nine as compared to fifty-one for 1888, and they were also ofa different character from those of 1889. In 1888 the houses failing were of a different character, large assets be- ing the rule. This year the failing houses have caused littie or no disturbance, though there have been several large ones, with large liabilities and small assets, Among the principal failures were Rosenthal & Co., a legacy from last year; Loth & Son, Methudy & Meyer, the J. A. Smith & Son Ice Co. and the Oharles Vogel Glass Co. In all of these it is claimed there ja not one due to this year, while it is believed that this year, notwith- anding the very mild weather, will not Gees anything that will come up to the dis- eredit of 1 A ee Spice Center. One branch of trade that has been thriv- infin St. Louis for the last few years, and which will aggregate over $10,000,000 a year, is in coffees and spices. And yet but little is known of this industry outside of those en- gaged in it. The assertion is made by the coffee dealers that St. Louie te the largest arketin the entire West, and much ahead of hieago in legitimate trade, thongh in specu- lative business that city has 3 1 t St. Louis handled bags coffee. This year wy has died more than 800,000 bags, at an average ue per bag above $28. he advantage of .

This gives St. Louis an immense ad Vantage, though it does not by any means eonfine her territory, as she seils in twenty-one “pany and Territories, and not un uently to Cincinnati and other Ohio inte. a ther ve interesting feature about the : wih of this indust is that the trade bo eters and jobbers rely on New York but 5 cosas htly for supplies wiarene a tow years dd everything came from & New York just as seve ping in New York ca 1 g St. now buys from the pri- 8 markets, A comin 1 ora Feats Cras u & oF N riven b noes se 4 8 oot 4 avi td ala we 1 ava at ire 1 2 via — gell. n arket in 12 moor e five exc ~ 9% market it was not Na as 4 eons her oobere Be Ae * 1885 of Beak, and paws 2 ‘The Commission Men, ‘An industry that shows very well as a trade icato jp that of the produes dealer end — busy appearance to Near Olive. — fp — — — the passer-by. There is a great deal of business thatis not seen, however, andthe aggregate might be doubled and none be the wiser but those en- gaged init. The year has had several disad- vantages, but it shows up with an increase, even under these circumstances and also with an extension ofthe limits of the terri- tory patronizing St. Louis. St. Louis as a Saddlery Market. This city has for years been recognized as the leading! saddlery market in the United States, and it was not supposed that it would increase much more for several years to come. The year will close, however, with an increase of fully 20 per cent over last year. It has been heaviest inthe West, though the South has also shown better than last year. The trade in all amounts to about $5,000,000, with most of it divided among et ~ or five houses, though there are large number of small ones. While st. Louis has been recognized as the best saddlery market in the country, at least since the war, it is emphasized now in letters received from traveling men. They speak of the distant trade particularly, which, they say, is as perma- nent as the local trade. When they first went among thia trade, in Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas especially, they were laughed at, the idea that St. Louis could sell them goods being regarded as very 2 Even Omaha was placed ahead of &t. Louis, while Chicago was so far ahead that there could be no com- parison. The prejudice was so dee rooted that for a time the 8. representatives despaired of any 8 They persisted, however, and to-day the trade that laughed at them is among the best they have. The prejudice has entirely disappeared and they say no one now receives a warmer welcome than a St. Louls man. As a result they are encouraged to go ahead and are still reaching out. St, Louis now covers Missouri, Lilinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, ‘Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, the Indian Territory, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, California, Mon- tana and Dakota and u part of Washington, been made to establish with Mexico, but the duties high that they are practically prohibitory, and but little headway can be made. li this duty was lessened materially, Mexico could be made a very good field. In kindred industries, such as the manufacture of saddle-trees, harness and chains, St. Louis also occupies a leading position. The trade in all of these has greatly increased this year, independent of the legitimate saddlery trade. Inthe latter the increase has been natural andinthe general line, no special induce- ments having been made to bring trade that would be temporary. has The Furniture Trade. St. Louis is also one of the largest furniture manufacturing points in the country. Her territory covers Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, the northern part of Alabame, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ulinois, Ne- braska, ‘Towa, Kausas, New Mexico, a part of Colorado and Old Mexico. This territory has yielded an increased business fully per cent above last year, establishing the year as the best one in ten years. With the exception of Old Mexico no new territory has deen added, aud that can hardly be called new, as it has been worked before. It is, however, becoming a prominent feature in the furni- ture trade, and is expected to greatly increase within the next few years. Speaking of add- — are territory, one prominent wholesaler SH „We don't have any time, in fact, to hunt up new territory. The old keeps us busy, and it is all we bave been able to do, working night and day, to keep pace with it this year. Of course we will reach out a great deal more, but before we do we will haveto in- crease our capacities. This will be necessary, as our present trade is of a permanent char- acter, and has reached proportions that we could hardly have expected.I think it is largely meesure due to the strength of St. Louis gen- erally as a jobbing and distributing point, though it must also be partly credited to the class of goods St. Louis manufactures and the prices charged. Butit is St. Louis, anyhow, and I may say I do not know ofa commercial point of so much strength and 3 80 many advantages now as St. Some increases are nthe Soe above 25 per cent, and but few below it, and the general average is more likely above than below it. It is also stated that the increase is on the general line of goods and has not been caused by a run on any specialties.

A corps of electric light men roiled two large hogsheads into the Court-house rotunda and a few minutes later were fastening incan- descent lamps to all the pending wires in the building. About six hundred were put in during the afternoon. The lamps are of 105 volts capacity and of six- teen candle power. The gas in the Court-house has been so poor thatthe electric light has been prayed for very ferventiy. The appearance of the lamps this morning and the prospects of securing good light lu a few weekesent a thrill of joy through every city emplove in the building. While putting on the lamps this morning a workman was asked tofixa wire on one ot the burners which bad become loose. „I've got nothing to do with the wire, he en „Another company is doing that wor Why don’t you put on the shades?’’ was then asked, Another company is doing that, he said. as company is — putting in the lamps. ag ttranspires that one company stretched the wires outside the building, another placed the wiresin the Duilding, another company furnished the sockets, another the lamps, another and separate company the shades, and another company wilifurnish the light. If a workmanlike job is the result of so many hands working for different companies as in this case it will de a wonder and an excep- tion. Electric * is promised in the Court- house by January 6.

Judge Fisher has OER Court No. 2 until January 2, and Judge Dillon will proba- bly adjourn to-morrow until January 6. FOUR DIVORCB PETITIONS. Mrs, Jennie Wightman entered suit against Charles R. Wightman for divorce this morn- ing on the ground of desertion. The mar- — e occurred in Milwaukee in January, 1887, the separation took place in April of the — year. While living together he secured ,000 from her and squandered it. After being separated from his wife ten years, Berry Russell has filed a suit for di- vorce, saying he married the missing Aline ino 1872 in Memphisand she deserted him three years later. Sarah A. McClure, in her suit against T. J. McClure, charges him with drunkenness and failure to support her. Desertion is the ground of complaint in Dora C. Cealey’s petition for divorce against O. W. Cealey, to whom she was married in September, 188l,and lived together four years. TWO MORE INCORPORATIONS. The Pond sy tte Ny has Br paar 22 yom with a capital stock of 000, paid u Frank H.

A Meeting te Be Held to Revise the Card of Extras. ; PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 27.—Mr. fl. F. Jones, President of the Western Iron Association, has been notified by letter that ata recent meet- ing ofthe Eastern Iron Association held in Philadelphia, a committee had been appointed to meet with asimilar committee to be ap- pointed by the Western Association and con- sider the revision of the card of extras now in use by both bodies. Theidea has met with much favor in Pittsburg and it is very probable that a conference will be ar- ranged. Secretary Weeks of the association has been instructed to take the necessary steps to havea meeting. The card of extras ‘8 based on the common 2-cent card and calls for higher prices for products requiring extra costand labor. The meeting will probably be held in Philadelphia. It isa question now whether a joint committee can so revise the scale as to make it suitable to both parties. The card-rate has never been respected and if such an arrangement cannot be made individ- val firms threaten to cut loose from the asso- ciation and formulate a list of their own. Special Notice.

Death of a Merchant Well Known North and South. Ny Toelegranh tothe Posr-Dtera ren. NEw YorK, Dec. 7. — Cyrus Tale, widely known in business and social life, in both New Orleans and New Tork, died from pneumonia yesterday morning after a brief illness at- the Manbattan Club. Mr. Yale was born May 25, 1818, at Hartford, Oonn. A few years before the beginning of the rebellion he removed to New York and embarked in the dry goods trade, later estab- lishinga house in New Orleans. During the war his business interests kept him in the South, but since 1865 he has lived in this city. He represented the wholesale firm of Tale & Bawling of New Orleans, of which he was a senior member. Mr. Yale was a widower and the brother-in-law of Manton Marble. One child, Mrs. Ferris of Brookdale, Mass., sur- vives him. He leaves a considerable fortune. Quality Will Tell.

Prof. Leup on the Perils and Benefits of Training—How „Abe, an Old Jockey, Provided for His Employer — How Jockeys Are Licensed in England—Rac- ing and General Sporting News. HE condition of W. H. Rocap, the amateur champion | light-weigh- boxer, says the Philat delphia Times, was re- ported last evening as slightly more favor. able, and his physician gives hope of his ulti mate recovery. An. other trained athlete is at the present time under treatment at one of the New York oity hospitals, seemingly from a general breaking down of the entire sys- tem. Thisis T. P. Con- — neff, the amateur five- mile champion of America, who also won the four-mile championship of Ireland in 1887 andthe English one-mile championship in 1888. The sudden breaking down in health of a number of professional and amateur athletes lately has led to considerabie discussion on the after effects of training for trials of feats of strength and skill. In discussing the question last evening Prof. A. H. P. Leup, M. D., the director of physical education at the University of Pennsylvania, said: „„The training of athletes, whether profes- sional or amateur, is nearly always left in the hands of very incompetenttrainers. Any per- gon engaged in athietics is subject to no greater dangerthan thatof being placed in the hands of the ordinary trainer, because of the latter’s lamentabie ignorance of the hu- man body asa mechanism. They generally diet a man regardless of individual peculiari- tles. They restrict the supply of water of all alike, without knowing the requirements of the body in this direction. This is only an in- stance of the innumerable instances that could very justly be made against the common trainer, great though his reputation. „Another danger is that of overtraining, because of its aptness to do permanent phys- ical injury, and especially in the case of stu- dents, by using up a larger supply of nervous energy than canbe supported. The beneficial effects of general physical exercise are due to the increased action of the heart and lungs, causing the blood to be liberally and equally distributed to all parts of the body,in that way increasing its nourishment and growth. Atthe same time it promotes digestion and absorption and so adds to the nutrition of the body. »The trainer must be able to judge when the body is receiving sufficient blood from an active heart witbout allowing the beart to become diseased or weakened from overwork. There are two kinds of danger from overwork —the sudden and the gradual. Sudden over- work causes what is called bad form and staleness, making the muscles less able to re- gist tne inroads and growth of disease. An- other bad condition is due to long continued training, especially if there be no intermission of rest. „This weakens a man so he has to live on a lower plane ever after and is a more ready victim to the inroads of disease. The fact must always be bornein mind thata large proportion of even prominent athietes took up physical education to correct an original defective organization. Itis the general im- pression that athletes are strong, robust, vigorous men, whereas the opposite isthe truth. Any athlete in good condition is hollow-cheeked and more or less lantern- awed. The best athletic work is based on what s called head work, as trickery or knack and a large expenditure of nervous energy. The last ls one of the most indispensable requi- sites for nearly all kinds of athletic work. From this it may be readily seen that the very men who are the most likely to engage as ath- letes are those who have much nervous energy and they generally haveapoor or medium muscular development, are not endowed by nature to do hard physical work and are at the same time naturally inclined to spur them- selves on to efforts beyond their strength. There are two classes of cases—those who get ignorant training and those are trained under competent medical supervision. In the first class a great many come to grief, others from disease developed during training or by disease already contracted by a prematurely weakened organism. In the sec- ond clase are found a large body of student athietes connected with the colleges that have medical directors of physioal education. Injuries sustained by them during training are usually caused by wilful neglect or com- petitions areentered into without any pre- liminary training, much against the advice of the-instructor. ‘*‘Training of an individual properly con- ducted cannot possibly lead to any other but the most favorable results. Inthe hands of the ignorant when wrongly applied it be- comes avery potent agent for harm, nae | much illness and harm and often death. person properly trained is in a much better condition to withstand disease than if such exercise had not been taken. An Old Jockey’s Generosity. Secretary Orickmore of the Monmouth Park Association, who as turf editor of the New York WORLD and complier of ‘Krik’s’ Guide to the Turf, became famous asa writer on race horses, relates a humorous yet touching incident in the life of Abe, the negro jockey, who rode Bayswater, the winner of the race atthe opening of Jerome Park in 1866. Abe was never known to have a sur- name. The world knew him only as Abe, he rode at New Orieans, Saratoga and Jerome Park, as Abe, and the turf reporters wrote of him as Abe. He was a clever jockey, his methods in the saddle being desoribed As a combination of the methoss of Garrison, Hamilton and Murphy. He was neither beautiful nor raceful, but had a knack of ‘‘getting there. Tn slavery days Abe wasa chattel of Duncan F. Kenner of New Orleans, the man 4after whom the Kenner stakes at Saratoga were named. When the war began. Mr. Kenner went to Europe, wnere he remained till after the days of reconstruction. Abe became a freedman, and in 1866 journeyed to the North, to puraue his calling as a jockey, riding wherever and whenever he could get a mount. Hie savings in a year or two amounted to some $4,000, which he deposited in a bank in this city. Already an old man when he left Dixie, he could not resist a longing to return, so one day, without saying a word to any- body, he set out for New Orleans. Going by the bank he presented his book and asked for $100. „Ie gwine away fer good,“ he informed the teller; ‘‘gwine back to de plaintashun.’’ Going away for good, eh?“ said the teller, counting out $100 and entering the draft on Abe’s book. ‘‘Whatare you going to do with the rest of your money?“ t comes he pays his ¢ — nis 1 ee.

A Pian of Campaign Peculiar to St. Louis That is Proving Exceedingly Effective— Organization of the Two Classes of Committees—True to Their Old Home — The Washington Delegation. N all sides the gentle- men in charge of the canvass of St. Louis in the World's Fair con- test are meeting with the greatest encour- agement, and are daily becoming more confi- dent of success. Since the Congressmen have returned to their homes the auxiliary committees in the differ- ent States have exhibited a most com- mendable activity, and have done most efficient. service in behalf. of this city. This feature of the agitation in the interest of any city is peculiar to St. Louis, and now promises to exerta very strong influence in its favor. FORMATION OF AUXILIARY COMMITTERS. The committees were formed several up to the present time, owing tothe absence of her Congressmen at the national capital. They were formed in the following manner, A num; ber of natives of the different States were re- residents of their homes for aid for St. Louis in the contest in Congress. Over fifteen of these committees were formed. and an active correspondence opened with their friends and acquaintances in other States. These committees should not be con- appeal to the which has a different end in view. The latter were to state the claims of St. Louis to the State and municipal authorities, while the Broadway and Union Market. made to win the prize. Scores of organiza- tions are busily at work bullding up sentiment n favor of St. Louis for the World’s Fair. The latest weihave seen is a thrilling, for- cible circular gotten up by the residents of St. Louis, who formerly were Wisconsin soldiers. Among them are the following, many well- known to the readers of the Sunday Telegraph: Capt. Lloyd G. Harris, Chairman; Lieut. E. K. Holton, Maj. Chas. Christensen, Capt. W. R. Hodges, Dwight Treadway, Mason G. Smith, Rev. J. T. P. Ingraham, 8. H. Burrell, H. M. Pollard, J. ©. Birge, Capt. L. Rossiter, D. G. Evans, H. D. Waterman, Capt. Chas. F. Powell, U. S. A. FORMER RESIDENTS LEND A HAND. Another class of auxiliary committees, and one that is proving itself to be still more et- fective, is that composed of men who in for- mer times were residents of St. Louis, but at present are citizens of other States. These committees have «generally been organized in the West and Southwest, those of the first class belng almost exclusively confined to the East and Southeast. Missouri is peculiarly fortunate in having many representatives in nearly every Western city and village, and almost without exception these men retain their affection for the State of their nativity. Hundreds of letters were addressed to former St. Louisans, asking that they organize auxil- lary committees In their present homes, and endeavor to persuade the Congressmen from their distriots to favor St. Louis for the Worid’s Fair. The responses have been en- thusiastic,a great majority of those addressed have promised their hearty co-operation,com- mittees have been formed all over the West and Southwest, and to-day there are several thousands of active workers championing the cause of St. Louis in other States. Sines the Christmas recess their efforts bave been very successful, It has been found that the repre- sentatives who were indifferent or inclined to favor other cities, are more than ready to join forces with the St. Louis contingent when they discover that by so doing they can oblige the men whose votes elected them to Congress and may be neces- — to elect them again. From present indi- cations St. Louisewill gain scores of votes by this means, and will appear before Congress with afar greater force than could be mus- tered before the recess. EXEOUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. At8o’clock on Saturday evening a meeting of the Executive Committee will be held at the headquarters’ rooms. There has not been a meeting of the Executive Committee for several weeks and much im- portant business will probabil be transacted. It is probabie that a partial re- port of the work accomplished by the Finance Committee will be made and that oe will be taken to send a large delegation to Washing - ton before the reconvening of Congress. The selection of two n to appear be- fore the Senate mmittee, which meets on January 8, willbe made and there is likely to be quite a contest on this point, as there are 4 7 4 * — 4 “ oe 9 * * 4 Ye a 3 3 * 5 . ee r x wy oa : mS n 8 4 tc oe Bon ie > „ 5 3 7 . *. 4 or te) «tae ot 7 4 4 * 8 * . ‘ 4 na oe a 1 „ 9 * 5 : ee =, ait 1 2 2 ap 2 Pr 0 4g * N 4 * * ‘ 2 . ö — Sea * 4 * 5 RS 128 cere se ~ Bs x =_ 2 e n * * 7 f N * = - 5 — * — * * 1 ae raed ati Soe 1 e 2 32 * 8 a ¢ . 9 0 * 15 7 a * * A — A 4 5. * * ve — e * at’ . 2 * * 7 * * N br — . a — 7 A 5 ‘ ** 7 ** te : 3 * * + * * - * 4 i - * 3 2 9 9 . a 1 — — © ats a * *.
