The Republican Convention reassembled this morning at 10:30 o’clock. District and county caucuses previously had selected members of the State Central Committee and nominated delegates and alternates. The hall where the conven- tion meets is handsomely decorated with flags, and the stage bears the portraits of Abraham Lincoln, President Harrison, Senator Hawley and Gov. Bulkley. ‘The Oommittee on Permanent Organization re- ported a list of officers headed by Senator Hawley as Permanent Chairman. Gen. Hawley was warmly cheered as he ad- varced to address the convention. He beyvan by predictinga hot campaign. He greeted the young voters of the party, reviewed the party’s history, referring to itsachievements and added: GEN. HAWLEY’S ADDRESS. In none of these things have we had the co-opera- tion of the Democratic party. In almost every one we have had its vigorous opposition. Our friends,.the enemy jeer us for pointing with pride to our record. It is a pleasure they cannot enjoy. We offer it as the only valuable security that our future control would be as beneficent as our past. Referring then to the possible candidates at Minneapolis, Senator Hawley said: Iam not heretosay who wil! be or who should bo our nominee for the Il’resident. khow .a warm placo in the hearts of many of you.

The tariff cannot create a monopoly in anything which 65,000,000 people are free to produce, Referring to money these were the Gener- al’s words: In our humble judgment, not only as Republicans but as Connecticut men generally, those do err, not only against economic experience, but against morality, when they demand of the nation that it shall pay the holder 70 cents worth of silver ingots or old spoons, a coin that he may push tpon his em- ployer or other creditor for a dollar. The govern- went has paid him his extra 30 cents, or 43 per cent profit, and it then holds itself bound to make good the aforesaid 30 cents to whomever carries the dollar.

Hopkins of Killingly, with Fred- erick C. Palmer of Montville as alternate; Lorinna Cook of Riverton with David Sloan of Winston as alternate. The platform was then- presented by Com- modore J. D.

The platform expresses devotion to the principles of the party as set forth in the last national platform; heartily indorses the Ad- ministration of President Harrison, ex- presses continued Belief in the principles of protection of American. industries, indorses the McKinley billand sees in the reciprocity clause an adequate opening of foreign markets to Ameri¢an products; denounces the present tariff legislation of the Demo- cratic party in Congress, and commends the policy of the Republican party in maintaining an honest and sufficientmoney. The plat- form then takes up State issues and heartily approves of the action of the Kepublican members of the State Legislature. After the adoption of tne platform and the ratification of nominations for State Central Committee, cheers "were given by the Re- publican party for delegates chosen, for Har- rison, for Blaine or for Bulkeley. In response to calls, Gov, Bulkeley ad- dressed the convention, thanking them for choosing him delegate and calling for active work in the campaign. The thanks ofthe convention were ed to Senator Hawley, and the convention closed with three cheers forhim., Afterthis the conventions of Con- gressional districts met to choose alstrict delegates. After the adoption ofthe platform cheers were given for Harrison, Blaine and Bulkeley. The delegates go uninstructed. CALIFORNIA. ee ee REPUBLICANS HOLD A $WO DAYS’ SESSION AT SAN FRANCISCO. Stockton, Cal., May 4.—The Republican State Convention held another session iast night. The reports of the Committees on Credentials and, on, Permanent Organization and Order of Business were received and adopted. The temporary organization was made permanent. There was considerable debate upon a proposition prohibiting office- holders from serving on the State Central Committee, but the proposition was finally defeated. The Committee on Piatform was not ready to makeits report, and the conven- tion adjourned un this morning. | Delegates to the Minneapolis conven- tion were elected last night from three of the seven Congressional districts in the State. The First district elected E. V. Spencer and D: JT. Cole Gelegates and S&S. J. Matthews and Jj T. Matier alternates; the Second District elected J. F. Kidderand A. J. Rhoades deleg@tes and A. ©. Voorhees and N. Sposasti altefnates; the Third District elected Eli 8. Denmison and R. W. Robbins delegates and H, A. McOravey and k. T.

MvuskEGOon, Mich., May 4.—Eight hundred delegates were assembled in Muskegon’s new wigwam when Chairman Daniel J. Campau called the Democratic &tate Convention to order at noon to-day. A monster GPayon of Grover Cleveland was sus- pended over = ter of the platform, attd there: were ‘portraits of mahy other representative Democrats to be seen, but there was nothing to Indicate that any such man as David B. Hill had ever been known to Michigan Democrats. Hiram B. Hudson of Mancelona was selected by acclamation as temporary chatlr- man. He delivered a brief but energetic address, prophesied victory for the national party in November and glorified Grover Cleveland asthe great leader, The mention of the ex-President’s name brought forth re- peated cheers from the delegates and the spectators. At the conclusion of t®e address tne usual committees were appointed and a recess was taken until 2 o'clock. Harmony and good feeling prevailed, de- spite the prospect of a stubborn fight over the piatform to be adopt- ed. W hile ail declare themselves friendly to Cleveland there is a section of the delegates in favor of free silver, and it will make an earnest effort to havea free silver plank incorporated in the resolu- tlons. If this element, led by O’Brien J. Atkinson of Port Iiuron, be not represented on the committee, its members will contest the matter in open convention. There will also be a division of sentiment as the selection of the delegates-at-large. The consensus of opinion is that these delegates will be the tion. Don M. Dickinson of Wayne, Hon. F. Uhl of Kent, Hon. F. Ryan of Hancock and Hon. Spencer Fisher of Bay. - The convention opened shortly after noon. The newly erected wigwam, bright with flags and emblems, rang with the wiid cheers of the assembly, which thronged it every part. Among the portraits of Democratic leaders which hung over the platform an from several points about the hall, there was notable absence of David B. Hnill, which carried a fair degree of comment amongetire members of the audi ence. The convention opened with a prayer the Rey. Phillip Ww. Mosher of Paul's Church, Muskegon. Then the meeting was called to order by Daniel J. Campau, Chairman ofthe State Central Committee, who alluded tothe fact that a Democratic convention was being held in a Congressional District that had overwhelming] reverse the Republican majority of over 4,000 by the election of a Democratic Congress- man. He concluded by calling upon the temporary Chairman, H.. B, Hudson, who, aftera brief speech which aroused the en- thusiasm of the assembly, proceeded to the work of organization.

The con- vention will also probably indorse the proposition for the calling ofa special ses- sion of ‘the Legislature, to provide for the election of Presidential electors and for can- vassing the vote of such election, and also incidentally to make a further appropriation of $50,000 for the State exhibit at the World’s Fair, the appropriation of last session, $25,000, having been found entirely insuffi- cient to make a creditable exhibit.

He Will Again Head the Illinois Republican Ticket, a His Nomination on First Ballot Con- ceded by Competitors, TT CULLOM WINNING FAME IN THE ROLE OF HARMONY. First Day’s Session of the State Conven- vention at Springfield—Ex-Congress- man Hopkins Made Temporary Chair- man—His Address—The Scramble for Places on the Ticket—Names Which Now Seem to Be Winners. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 4.—When the Hon. A. M., popularly known as ‘‘Long’’ Jones, Chairman of the Republican State Commit- tee, rapped the convention to order in Repre- sentatives’ Hall of the Capitol building at 2 o’ clock this afternoon, he faced the largest omcial gathering in the history of the party: in Illinois, There were 1,235 delegates. In a few remarks, predicting the success of the ticket to be nominated and the duty of the delegates as- sembled, Chairman vones introduced ex-~- Congressman R. J. Hopkins of Aurora as Chairman ofthe temporary organization of the convention. As the temporary chairman came forward he was warmly greeted. CHAIRMAN HOPKINS’ SPEECH. Having thanked the delegates for his elec- tion aschairman and aliudedin eulogistic terms to the part which the State has played in the great political contests of the country, he referred to the nomination of Altgeld for Governor by the Democratic convention, speaking as follows: Not content with denouncing the mepeaseee party for its great work in maintaining the unity uf the Statesand the fluancial bonds of the country, the convention wentone step furtherin its brazen ef- frontery and took issue with providence by placing in nomination for.Governora man who had to furnish the delegates assembled with his autobiography so that they might assure the Democrats of the State ontheir returnto their several homes that the un- known man was eligible to the office to which his barrel aspired. Dealing with the national issues of the campaign, he declared they would be largely a repetition of those of 1888. The Republican party was irrevocably committed toa policy of protection on the Industrial, manufactur- ing and laboring interests of the country and, added to that, they would have the still further question of maintaining the financial integrity of the country and insisting that the stamp of the -Government upon the coin of the cuubtry shall be maintained in all itsin- tegrity and that every dollar of the white metal which has the stamp of the Govern- ment upon it shall De the equivalent of 100 cents inthe coin of any country with which we have commercial relations. Touching upon. the tariff question he’ quoted from various sources to support his assertion that every lover of his country re give his indorsement to protection. e said: ing lie ' ’ Up to 1890 the: popiifatfon Wad Increased In thirty years over 100 per cent, capital ran trem sixteen thousand milliéns to seventy thousand muil‘ions, an actual gain of forty-four thousand millions of doi- lars, or atan average rate vf about fifteen hundred millions of doliars anaually. What natiou can show such a marvelously rapid increase in wealth? ‘the wealth of the individual had kept pace with that of the nation. Mr, Atkinson, the eminent statistician, himeelf a free trader, had admitted that the cundl- tion of the workers inthis country had greatly im- preved since the Republican party had come into power; according to the autnority mentioned. wages of mechanics had increased, taking an average, by 54 per cent, while the additional cheapness of articlo3 made the inecrcase from 26 to 46 per centimore. Compare Lecuds with Philadelphia. In Leeds, witha popula- tion of 320,00uU, not one laborer or mechanic owned his own home; in Philadelphia 170,000 homes were owned apd occupied by working people. ut of the population 0 the United § States, over 62,000,000, they had only 73,045 public pau- pers. England, with her 37,000,U00., had 974,411 public paupers, demonstrating the blessings of the Mchiniey bill. There Is no articic won the dutiable list which could not. to-day be purchased as cheaply in the markets as vefore the passage of the act, and with the great wass of dutiable articies, they came to the consumer much cheaper than before the enactment of the measure. Not only this, but it had met the Democratic charge that a protected tariffinterfered with foreign com- wnerce, for foreign commerce showed an inerease in the first twelve months of more than $100,UU00,000. They had established retiprocal relations with many ofthe South American States, and had forced Germany to open her ports to the products of the American farnier. We denounce as dishonost and fraudulent the methods resorted to by the Democratic party, Not- withstanding the abuse of the McKinley act, when the Democratic House was organized in December, the great apostie of free trade, Mr. Mills of Texas, was stricken down in the house of his friends at the behest of the New York Tammany tiger, and instead of meeting the mats gg | bill as straightforward menu the leaders within the ranks of the. party had organized a set of distinct and soparate neasureés and by these had attempted to fool the peopie. The proposal to ye wool on the free list wili strike down 2, ,0U0O farmers interosted in the wooltrade by compelling them to put their productin competition with the cheap wool of South America and Australia, a competition, which in less than tive ears would destroy the industry in this country. n the same measure, the farmers are roquired to pay 39 per cent upon the cloth manufacturea from these wools, a fact illustrative of Demoerati¢d incon- sistency. ‘The bills relating to the cotton tiesis one ofthe inost anomalous pieces of legislation over presented toa legislative body and is promoted in the interest of a few cotton planters of the South. Finally Mr. Hopkins predicted a sweeping Republican victory, spoke of the diplomatic genius of Blaine and declared that whoever was named at Minneapolis would be the next President of the nation. Chairman Hopkins closed his address with these words: President Harrison has demonstrated to the American poople that he has the ability, the energy, the courage and the honesty to not only serve the best interests of the ple of our country in all of our domestic relations, but to maintain the honor and integrity of our home abroad. He has been reed fortunate in surrounding himseif with ‘abinet officers, who have not oniy been loyal to hii, but true to the interest of the great American people. + The great Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, whose name is not only a household word through- out the length and breadth of our land, but the very mention of which creates the wildest enthusiasm among all lovérs of our country, has demonstrated the fitness of his selection for that high office by the magnificent manner in which he nas handled our foreign, relations. He has been conservative, but firm, and his letters are models of diplomatic courtesy and ability. His name will ever one of the brightest treasures of our politi¢al history. Whoever is named at Minneapolis by our National Convention to be our standard bearer will be the next President ofthe United States. It is so written in the Book of Fate. Andin the contest which will result so tri- umpheney, Illinoig will be found in the front: rank with 3C,000 Republican majearity. Charies A, Partridge was chosen Secretary, with Judge L, D. Paterbangh of Peoria, Geo. W. Harper of Robinson and W. L. Katon of Rockford, Assistant Secretaries. Committees on Credentials, Resolutions and Permanent Organization were then apppoint- ed and the convention adjourned to meet to- morrow, when the ticket will be nominated and the real work of the convention begin. The opening of the day found the political pot still boiling, but the resuit of the brews and combinations was quite as much a mat- ter of doubt as twenty-four hours ago, although the renomination of Gov. —_ W. Fifer still appeared to be practically assured, so that the work of the convention would be but little more than a mere ratifica- tion by the votes of the delegates. The friends of Lieut.-Gov, Ray were some- what anxious this morning over the efforts in certain quarters to boom H. H. Stassgen, a German Lutheran, for the nomination of Lieutenant-Governor. Mr. Ray, however, is still confident of his re ha There is no position to nomination of retary of of Pearson, It general! th Georwe ig -nominate him. Itis held by those who have Belvidere,Gen.John 1.

It is charged that Chicago istrying to cap- ture both ngressmen-at-large, and much feeling bas arisen among the country dele- ie in consequence, threats of retalfation ing freely indulged in. FIFER ON FIRST BALLOT. It looks as if Fifer would be nominated for Governor on the first ballot. The caucus of the anti-Fifer factions held last night conceded this, but decided todo what might be necessary to have the opposition’ to the Governor inthe convention lly recorded. It was also decided to make a fight on Hertz, bringing Commissioner Struckman of Chicago out against him for Treasurer. Beyond this nothing was done. The refusalof Collins to re-enter the field has greatly strenzthened Fifer, and has had a nn yay 2 to inju the canvasses of Longenecker, Clark and Hunt. The friends of the Governor claim that with- out Cook County he has now votes enough to followed the returns from the various coun- ties that he will have 665 to 681 delegates in the convention, and that on the first ballot he will have 900 votes. It is also claimed that it will be unnecess to have a ballot, as the Governor will in all probability be nominated by acclamation. It looks this afternoon like this when the balloting comes: Governor, Joseph W, Fifer; Iieutenant-Governor; Lucian B. Ray; Secre- tary of State, Isaac N. Pierson; Auditor, Gen. ©. W. Pavey; Treasurer, Henry L. iertz; Attorney-General, George W. ince; Con- gressmen-at-large, George 8S. Willits, Gén. John I, Rinaker. The strongest opposing candidates are: Carter for Lieutenant-Governor, Staasen for Auditor, Struckman for Treasurer, Truitt for Attorney-General, Yates for Congress- man at Large and Longenecker for Governor. The jatter will poll a strong vote and It is not impossible that Yates may pull through over Rinaker, but WWJits is asurething. Truitt is considered a dangerous foejby Prince’s friends, and there is a small chance of his running. HISTORIC POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS. All the candidates have their headquarters at the capital’s big hotel, the Leland, in truth, was built to accommodate gatherings. history. The suite engaged by Gov. Fifer is noted for its associations with the name and fame of Gen. John A, Logan. He made his last great and triumphant fight forthe United States Senate in 1885 from these rooms, Num- bers 19 and 20 have had their thresholds worn away many times by the leaders of the party, many of whom have long since completed the journey of life. This Logan room is very tastefully and atriotically decorated and fitted up. here S a profusion of plants and flowers, and bunting is abundant. The portraits are those of Lincoln and also of Logan and Mrs. Logan with garlands around them. They are ever green in the hearts of the people. The visitors are greeted now as in the days when Lihcoin and Logan were living leaders ofthe people. The other headquarters are equally attractive. CULLOM AS A HARMONIZER. Senator Shelby M. Cullom fills considerable space in the hearts of the delegates, judging from the unanimity with which his name is mentioned to head the lst of delegates-at- large to Minneapolis. Mr. Cullom seems to have achieved a great deal in the way of pro- moting harmony in the party in lilinots by prevailing upon President Harrison toap- point Mr. Tanner Sub-treasurer of Chicago. Considering,galiso, Cullom’s timely with- drawal from the contest for the presidential nomination, the indications are that he stands wellin the estimation of the conven- tion, and he will notonly be placed at the head of the State delegation to Minneapolis, | but will be complimented by resolution for his valuable services to the party, the State andthe country generally. Harmony seems to be restored, and the Fifer people appear to have no disposition to oppcep any com pll- a that may be proposed for Senator . om, Itis very manifest that there will be coimipetition among the various gentlemen wio desireto be delegates at large to the Nat:onal Convention. It is quite likely that ex-Gov. Oglesby and ex-Congressman Joseph G. Cannon will be selected as delegates at large. ‘The fourth delegate at large is a voubtful factor. The trustees for the University of Lllinols, of whom there are threeto be chosen, have not yet been canvassed. They will be left until the bulk of the ticket Is determined. The four presidential electurs-at-large are also unsettled; the name of John M. Smyth, of Chicago, has been favorabiy mentioned as one of them. In regard to the selection of presidential electors the party managers are advised to exercise the utmost care. Itisof the highest importance that those chosen as electors should be men of whose eligibility there is no question. No one should be selected who holds any public office. JOHN BARRED OUT. Final Passage of the Chinese Exclusion Enactment. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—When the journal was approved Mr. Geary, of Callifor- nia, presented the conference report on the Chinese bill. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, opposed the report. The ageement of the conferees was more satisfactory than the House bill, but openly violated faith and was a rupture of our relations with China. Mr. Hooker (Democrat) of Mississippi in opposing the report said there never wasa time when the writ of habeas corpus was de- nied, asin this bill. By it the judge was al- lowed to imprison the party and deny bail. The Democratic party was welcome to all the glory they could get by the passage of sucha measure. For himself he desired to record his vote againstit. It wasa direct violation of the treaty of 1889. Mr. Geary of California, who presented the report, said there was nothing in the act which suspended the writ of habeas corpus nor did it deny the right of ball. Mr. Hooker demanded the yeas and nays, The conference report was then agreed to, yeas, 185; nays, 28. Mr. Snodgrass (Dem.) of Tennessee offered a resolution calling for the return of the bill from the Senate to encourage American ship building, passed May 2 under suspension of the rules without proper explanation and under a misapprehension as to its provision. The resolution set forth that at the time the House was led to believe that the ships mentioned in the bill did not come within the provisions of the act of March 43, subsidies to American bill gave these ships the rights and privileges of vessels of the United States, as far as subsidies were concerned. The resolution brought Mr. Cochran of New York to his feet, who inquired if the gentle- man from Tennessee meant to Insinuate that the House had been imposed apon. Mr. Snodgrass said that the bill had evi- dently been passed under a ceay tothe aie’ and he fnrended no discourtesy to the tle- men from New York. 7 Mr. Cochran replied that the Pp samen seemed to reflect upon the honor, dignity and integrity of the House. ‘Mr. Snodgrass retorted that the House would take care of itsown dignity and integ- rity. These ships would be _ entitied to subsidies which were not contem- lated when the bill was passed, The mocratic pects was pled against sub- sidies, and had the import of this bill been understood the House would nev have passed it. He thought that the was privileged, as the bill was out proper explanation. The Speaker said that the resolution.was not privileged. The bill was passed under suspension of the rules. The House had not the right now to move to reconsider.

The Orst knowledge of the mnurder having been committed was gained by the woman’s husband, who is a teamsterinthe employ of J. V. Farwell & Co., and who, on his return from work last evening found his wife’s body in their bedroom horribly torn and mutilated and partially hidden beneath a pile ofrugs. Sixty-five gashes in all wereon her body, andthe disarranged furniture in the room showedthat a desperate struggle had taken place. Pieces ofthe vital organs of the dead woman had been torn out, and a broken broom-handle was thrust through the entire length of the woman’s trunk from the throat downward, and a pair of scissors driven through the left breast. The numerous other wounds on the woman’s face, body and limbs had evidently been made by the scissors. Walsh atonce notified the police, and within four hours after the murder the woman’s slayer had been arrested and con- fessed the crime. He stated that he and Mrs. Walsh had been drinking beer together and had quarreled. He drew a knife and stabbed her, andthe signt of the blood drove him insane. Ue had then torn and mutilated the body as described. THE PRISONER. When at noon, to-day the correspondent of the Post-DIsPaTcu visited Thomas Walsh, the monster of the day in hiscellatthe Max- well Street Police Station, he was in a re- pentant mood. He 1s 27 years old, is a power- fully built man of about 185 pounds, and has, even in his repentant mood, the indications of Aggressive viciousness. He talked tIreely about the murder and said he was very sorry for it. ‘*It was just like this,’’ he sajd, ‘*‘Illike my Uncle Michael first rate.and wouldn’t do thing to hurt him If Il wasin njy’senses.

The facis of the killing are given in the same language. Walsh is still wearing the blood-stained shirt and trousershe had on when arrested, and there were marks of biood on his hands when the PosT-DiIsPATCH Man saw him at noon in his cell.

Last night’s session of the Council was in- teresting only when the Committee of Public Improvements reported on the Mayor’s nom- ination for Water Commissioner. Messrs. Horton and Sloan submitted a majority re- recommending the rejection of the James submitted appointment. Mr. favoring it. a minority report On motion of Mr. Sloan the matter fas laid on the table. Then Messrs. Cole and oan indulged in a little parliamentary sharp ractice that effectually disposed of Mr. rown’s candidacy. Mr. Sloan movedto re- consider the vote by which Mr. Brown’s ap- intment was laid on the table, and Mr. ole moved to table Mr. Sloan’s motion, which was carried. This effectually shuts off all consideration of Mr. Brown’s name and will force-the Mayor to make another appointment. This will also givethe Council @ chance to adjourn this summer. Bills were introduced by Mr. Wehner pro- hibiting soothsayers and fortune tellers; by Mr. Hoolan, authorizing the st.

The same cannot be said of the lNbretto, which was ‘weak and uneven throughout, devoid of literary ability and wanting in bright or witty ae e. The music was ambitious and at times tuneful.

The evidence against Photographer Will- lam Grimm was being put together this morning by District Attorney Reynolds, who will try the case Thursday. Grimm js the photographer from whom a number of beastly photographs were secured by agents of the Postal Department through decoy letters written from Indianapolis. The photographs were not sent by mail, but by express. When he was arrested, a lot of pictures similarto those sent the de- tectives were foundin atrunk of the pho- tographer’s house, and some of these, itis said, represented several well-known people as subjects of the lewd ca- mera. Special Agent W. A. McAfee the Society for the Preventionof Vice had worked up the case and he took possession of allthese pictures, refusing to let them be generally inspected. District Attorney Reynolds says that a number of untrue reports have been circulated about those pictures. ‘‘I have no idea that they compromise any respectable people,’’ said he. “*You must remember that photography can easily at- tach faces to bodies that do not belong to them, and that may have been donein this case. The head of the purest man or a woman of the highest standing may be used in these pictures when they Know absolutely nothing about it. ’’ Grimm has gone out of photography since he was arrested. Judge Thayer lost all patience to-day when the photographer’s attorney came into court with a demurrer, The Judge re- fused to consider it at all, ‘*This case has been pending long enough’’’ said he. **xyou should have presented that long ago.’ The attorney retired abashed. It is said that Gorimm may plead guilty. The punish ment for his offence is five years in the peni- tentiary and a fine of $1,000. SUICIDES. Theodore Baker Made a Complete Job With a Razor. SUMNER, Ill., May 4.—Theodore Baker, a young man 22 years old, eleven miles north, committed suicide Monday night. He was paying attention to a daughter of Henry Paddick, a prosperous farmer, Calling at the house he urged the suit, but was not ac- cepted. Disappointed he left the house and stopping at the gate, took a razor out of his pocket and cut his throat, making a thorough job of it. Dropping the razor and his hat he ran into the house, the: blood flow- ing profusely. Being asked why he had com- mitted the deed, he said he had made up his mind to do so if rejected.

Coroner Irwin began an inquest this morn- ing onthe body of Henry Volker, a cooper, 38 years old, who died yesterday of blood poisoning at his home, 38370 South Second street. The investigation developed the fact that the man’s death was the resultof a knife wound inflicted by his wifea week ago last Monday. She testified that on that day her husband came home drunk, as he had been for sev- eral weeks, and he - entered the kitchen where she was chopping beef- Steak with a butcher-knife. He pulled the meat away fromher and she struck him on the arm with the knife.

The trough like depression which has ex- tended in a northeast and southwesterly di- rection across the country for the past two days was separated yesterday by the movement southward of an area of high pressnre into lowa. The eastern portion of the depression has moved into the St. Lawrence Valley, while the center of low pressure in the West still remains west of the Rocky Mountains, having deepened in the past twelve hours. The movement of this high pressure into the Missouri Valley has caused clearing skies to-day in the upper Mississippi Valley, but it will also delay permanent clearing conditions in the States west of the Mississippi from Kansas north- ward for probably two days. With the advance of high pressure the temperature has fallen slightiy from Missouri northward to Canada, the greatest changes having occurred in Missouri ana Illinois. Lower temperature will progress southeastward with the advance of high pressure, while’ in the dis- tricts west of the Mississippi the temperature will: rise.

THE Yellowstone Park case has made one of. the witnesses sick. If the story concerning RUssELL HARRISON’s connec- tion with the scandal contains a grain of truth that foolish young man and his pa will have a very severe fit of illness. I — Tue New York Mail and Express is re- ported as ‘‘admitting’’ that the renomina- tion of HARRISON is assured. This re- minds one of the story of HARRISON’s ‘“‘admitting’’ that he -was the best lawyer -inIndiana. The Mail and Express is one _of his mouthpieces. THE taxpayers of St, Louis are willing to stand the cost of maintaining free drinking fountains for man and beast wherever they are needed and will do the most good. But instead of free public fountains, it is ‘‘priyvate snap’’ fountains that we are taxed to maintain.

The ideais to force the teamster to stop at the saloon and buy adrinkin exchange for the privilege of forhim by the influence of the saloon- keeper, — ; —— nz» il FITNESS OR BANK CHECKS. The nomination of Mr. T. JErrrerson COOLIDGE as Minister to France is a good example of unwavering consistency. No one more thoroughly representative of Republican tendencies could have been found than the man who, at a famous lunch -in- Boston, drew his check fora large amount for the purpose of rescuing the country from the wicked and un- patriotic Democrats by means of pur- chased votes. Mr. COOLIDGE is a very rich man and has social qualities which, it is finely said, ‘‘Come out of the back- ground of a good ancestry.’’ Forhe is a great grandson of the President whose name he bears and whose principles he re- jects. But what makes the appointment so virtuously consistent isthe check drawn in favor of W. W. DUDLEY or some other Republican statesmen equally skillful in the practical work of politics. Social qualities anda background of good an- cestry are as sounding brass and tinkling cimbals unless accom panied by a reasonable spirit of compliance when the business manager of the campaign draws at sight. Elections which like that of 1888 are largely matters of finance cannot be car. ried without men like Mr. COOLIDGE and Mr. WANAMAKER who save society at im- mense cost every four years. They are be- coming more and more necessary to the Republican party because, owing to a profound widespread dissatisfaction among the people, sav- society is getting more costly every year. It is right to recom- pense them with honors. Of course old- fashioned people with their queer notions say that honors must be earned not bought, but this idea is effete and antiquated. It prevailed in the early days of Republican- ism before the party got wisdom with ex- perience. But it is too childish to find lodgment in the cunning brains of party managers who understand practical poli- tics and whose morality is directed by the commercial conscience. They work for results. Success is the object before them and men like T. JEFFEKSON COOLIDGE make success possible. Without the per- suasive influence of their money ‘‘work- ers’? could not be induced to work nor ‘*floaters’’ to vote. This appointment is merely cumulative evidence of the tendency of the Republican party toward government by the plutocracy, of the plutocracy and for the plutocracy. Nobody ques- tions Mr. COOLIDGE’s social quali- ties or his intellectual giits. He has the equipment of a diplomat and a man of affairs. He is eminently fit for the post of Minister to Franca, but the point is that he was chosen not because of his fitness but because of his check. —_—_————-— a 9——-____— Tue Civil Service Committee of the House is doing good work in opposing the violations of the law inthe Baltimore Post- office which Mr. WANAMAKEER first winked at and afterwards made light of. The is- sue between the Postmaster-General and Mr. RoosEVELT isclear. The Commissioner has put Mr. WANAMAKER into a corner from which he can escape only by comply- ing with the plain provisions of the civil service act and giving guarantees that he will in future execute the law as he was sworn to do. na, — pened and ing ee ee THE appointment of ex-School Director BosLEY by President BARTHOLDT as one of the experts to pass upon the elevator contracts of the library building does not look well. BosLEY was one of the members of the late board, in whom the people of St. Louis expressed a lack of confidence at the polls. The less the men who were re- pudiated by the people have to do with the administration of the public schools the more satisfactory and successful it will be. en THE Globe-Democrat can hardly afford to poke fun at the SunDAY Post-DIs- PATCH because none of its many thousands of subscribers and purchasers have’ met death within a couple of days. The Sun- DAY Post-DisPaToH rejoices that all are alive, but the Globe-Democrat has been willing to pay ten times $50 fora political corpse about the size of Boss FILLEY for many years without being able to get it. , a, a — THE market price of RussBLL HARRI- SON’s influence with a Cabinet officer is quoted at $5,000 for a single job. Itis strange that even BENJAMIN HARRISON does not recognize the impropriety of his son acting as lobbyist. He is not given to making fine moral distinctions, but in judging his son’s conduct fine distinctions would not be necessary. _ ——— - - HENRY VILLARD put away temptation with the back of his hand when JOHN WANAMAKEER tried to sell him some influ- ence with the administration. VILLARD is not wholly spotless, and there is reason to think that he had a very bad quarter of an hour when he heard of the appointment of T. JEFFERSON COOLIDGE. Die —, i —— PARIS, a city of 8,000,000 inhabitants, was terrified into abject silence on May Day by a shadowy band of lunatics num- bering perhaps not one hundred. Itisan example of the influence of the unknown and unknowable. The real strength of the Anarchistic movement is incalculable, but it\is probably very trifling. Never- watering his team atthe fountain set up theless, people who have heard dynamite explosions are naturally nervous at such times, Parisians crouched before the mysterious shadow. They will probably be bolder now, and after wringing the necks of a few of the bolder madmen; the capital will settle down to its wonted calm and gayety. Di, ir Wiru all of the discontent in Germany and the social and industrial problems pressing for solution, the Kaiser is still fixing his attention principally upon the army. Proposalsfor new burdens for the increase of the army and the improvement of its equipment will be placed before the German Parliament. It is evident that with all of his talk about reforms the thirst for military glory is uppermost in the young Empoeror’s mind, and that he is willing to oppress his people almost be- yond endurance in order to satisfy it. THE New York Central Railroad will be equipped with block signals before the end of the year.

[No matter written on poth sides of the sheet can appear under this head.—Eb, The Big Mound. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: In the Post-DispaTcH of last Sunday there appeared a very interesting article on the **Big Mound’’ of St. Louis. While the de- scription there given of that remarkable pro- duction of an ancient and unknown race may be correct, my remembrance of the ‘‘Big Mound’’ is somewhat different. According to my recollection the base of the mound was a parallelogram extending say 150 to 250 feet from north to south and 7 to 125 feet from east to west, with sides gradually slop- ing tothe summit. The height wasabout 40 eet. ’ It was situated on the east side of Broad- way (then calied Third street) and I suppose it was near the intersection of Mound street. The mound was a favorite resort and play- ground for the boys of the (then) northern part of the city. There was anotherand smaller mound in the same vicinity, and it was this fact which caused the greater elevation to be designated as the ‘*Big Mound.’’ The reservoir, which for many years supplied the citizens of prim!- tive St. Louis with water, was located on the smaller mound, There may have been other mounds in that vicinity, as they were generally bullt in clus- ters or groups, but the two before mentioned are all that ever came under my observation. Itisa great pity that one or bothof those ancient structures (if I may so call them) were not preserved as amonument of an- tiguity. There was a time, almost within the memory of persons now living, when the block or lot embracing thesite of the ‘*Bi Mound’’ could have been bought for a bushe of mealandif the city fathers of that day had secured the title tothe ground on which the mounds stoodand had withheld the dev- astating pick and shovel from the ‘‘sacred clay’’ the mound would to-day be a greatif not the greatest curiosity of St. Louis. Farmington, Mo. JOHN HARTSHORN, Baron Gottlieb. Tothe Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The middle name of Baron Niedringhaus is Gottlieb, meaning one who loves Goda. The McKinley bill, by’ increasing the duty on tin plate from 1 cent to 2 2-10 cents per pound, gave the Barona rare opportunity to show his love of God. Before the steal bill went into effect Baron Gottlieb imported Welch tin plate to the amount, itis said, cf about 60,000 boxes. Paying only the old duty of 1 cent per pound on his importations, he charged his customers the full amountof thenew duty pilus a profit, utterly ignoring the command- ment ‘‘Thou shalt not steal.*’ Toeasea gnawing conscience Baron Gott- lieb now devotes apartof the money that rightfully belongs to others, to building churchesand missions andtocharity. This would not be under proper social conditions. Apply the law of equal freedom, 1. e., let each one do as he pleases provided he does not infringe upon the equal liberty of others; abolish a system of robbery that alloweda few private taxgatherers to become im- mensely rich while millions of others have to go naked and hunery; annihilate the pro- tective tariff that makes millionaires on the one hand and on the other hand creates tramps, paupers, criminals and prostitutes; give us the freedom to buy and sell whenever itistoour best advantage, and we will take care of ourselves. We, the poor, do not want charity, we despise it; preach the gospel of righteoushess and nobody will complain of empty benches in the churches, Give us justice, and justice only, and — let us alone. UNCLE TOM, . A Hint to the Humane Society. Tothe Editor of the Post-Dispatch: . Forsix yearsI have been reading in the Post-DISPATCH about the arrest of poor old men who weretrying to make a living by working such aged and crippled horses or mules as they could buy with their limited means. Ineverhave read of the Humane Society’s arresting one of these poor old men for working while he was sick and lame him- self. Men with helpless families to support have to work when they are sick or lame, and nobody arrests them for doing so. They have to do so often to retain the employment on which they are dependent for support, and nobody arrests the employer whose rules compel them to work until they drop or give up their situations. Would not a humane society be better em- ployed in preventing cruelty to human be- ings than in preventing cruelty to the lower animals? HUMAN BEING. Rock-Hauling on Sunday. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: 1 would like to know if there is not some way to reduce, if not stop, the large amount of secular work that is carried on in St. Louis on Sundays. The stone quarries on Grand avenue, south of Mill Creek Valley are in full blast so far as teaming is concerned, and the mass of people who visit Tower Grove Park from the west and north part ofthe city are brought in contact with this deliberate and wholly unnecessary practice of Sabbath breaking. Oan’t you stirup the Mayor and city authorities on this vital question and rid our city ot the disgrace of an apparent disre- gard of the law and of the Christian Sabbath? M,. 8. WILSON.

Republican Tenth Congressional District Convention Held To-Day. George Autenreith and Henry Besch Elected Delegates. CHAIRMAN WILKINSON DECIDES NOT TO MANDAMUS RECORDER CARLISLE. ———————/; The Twelfth District Republican Conven- tion to Be Held To-Morrow at Central Turner Hali—Redistricting the City Into Senatorial and Representative Districts—Business Men’s Democratic Club—Local Political News. CLAYTON, Mo., May 4.—The delegates to the Tenth District Republican National Delega- tion Convention began arriving early this morning from all directions. Some in bug- gies, others in farm wagon, but the majority came up on the train from St. Louls. The Tenth is the district accorded to the Republicans by the *speecial session of the Legislature, Itis composed of the South St. Louis wards, Franklin and St. Louis Coun- ties, containing an average Republican ma- jority of 4,000. The delegates and visiting politicians were greeted by @ couple of brass bands and the national colors were displayed from the County Court-house and many resi- dences. Among the St. Louis visitors were Richard Bartholdt, candidate for the district Congressional nomination; Col. David Murphy, Republican nominee’ for Attorney-General; Obarles A. Nagel, hominee for the Supreme Court, Ex-Con- gressman Kinsey and a host of St. Louts poll- ticlans. Recorder of Deeds Hobbs, one of the alternate delegates at large,also came pp to see what was going on. Before the con- vention opened the understanding was that the delegateships to Minneapolis were to go to John T. Crow of Franklin and George Autenreith of St. Louis County; both are Filleyites. Maj. Chas. E. Pearce had ex-Congressman Kinsey in tow and the couple circulated freely through the crowd. Mr. Kinsey wants the nomination for Congressman inthe Tenth and wants it very badly. SodoDr. Bartholdt, Senator J. C. McGinnis and J. C, Kiskaddonof Frank- lin, and ali were present except- ing McGinnis, The convention was opened at 11 o’clock by F.W. Rauchenstein of St. Louls County, Chairman of the Tenth District Congressional Committee; Charles F. Gallenkamp of Franklin County was elected temporary Chairman and Wm. Hepp- ner of St. Louis City, Secretary. Several speeches followed complimentary to Harri- son, Blaine, Warner and the State Repub- lican ticket generally. A dispute followed On a motion t9 give each St. Louis ward a representative on the committee and but one each to the counties; the county dele- gations registereda big kick, They did not want the seven St. Louls wards to run the whole convention. .The wrangle was finally settled by giving. st. Louls County 3, Franklin 2 and St. Louis7on the Credentials and other committees. When the noon recess was taken the St. Louis.delegation decided to present Henry Besgh of the Eleventh Ward for delegate. | “ THE DELEGATES CHOSEN. Whenthe convention reassembled at 2p. m. Collector Henry Zeigenhein of St. Loul was elected Permanent Ciatrman, Then th Committee on Resolutions made its report, which contained indorsements of the official acts of both President Har- rison and Secretary of State Blaine. The clause of the resolution indorsing Blaine created far greater enthusiasm and was greeted with more applause than the clause indorsing Harrison, In thé selection of two delegates tothe National Convention, the convention divided honors between the city and country, elect- ing Henry Beschofthe Eleventh Ward, St. Louis, and Henry Autenreith of St. Louls County. They were not instructed, Will Not Mandamus Carlisle. Chairman John C, Wilkinson of the antti- Noonan- Dalton committee to-day hada long talk with F. N. Judson, the committee’s at- torney. When it. Was Over Chairman Wil- kinson announced that the committee would abandon their intention of applying for a mandamus writ to force Recorder Car- lisleto open the boxes and throw out the fraudulent votescast. ‘*‘We find,’’ said the Chairman, ‘‘that the courts would not sus- tain a mandamus proceeding upon the Recorder. Judge Hough wheh on the Supreme bench decided that point in the contested election case of Craig against Nick Ford. Ford was declared elected by the judges .returns’ witha ma- jority of one, and Craig wanted the vote counted, The Supreme Court decided that itcould not be done, The decision would throw us out of court if we attempted to mandamus Carlisle, althoughit isa pity we can’tdoit and get a Supreme Court decision on the law.’’ ‘*What will you do now In the wards where you have affidavits that fraud beat your ticket?’’ ‘*Wecan do nothing more with that,’’ said Chairman Wilkinson, ‘*‘The delegations which were beaten must go into the conven- tion and make their contests there.’’ Orlando T, Guthrie. of the Twenty-fourth was standing by. ‘*Wehavea great number of affidavits charging fraud, several from my ward,’’ saidhe, ‘‘All of these will be pre- sented tothe Credentials Committee at the convention.’’ NO DECISION ON THE LAW. Recorder Carlisle seemed much relieved when he heard the news, and City Counselor Marshall was rather disappointed, Both of them had understood allalong that the man- damus suit ‘could not be decided before the convention, but its defense meant a good deal of trouble forthe Recorder. ‘‘it’s such a big word, that mandamus, that it scared me,’’ said the Recorder; laughing, ‘‘but I had made up My mind to take the casetothe Ssu- preme Court and get the law passed on.’’ Recorder Carlisle says he will issue certifi- cates Of election to the delegates according tothe judges’ returns to-morrow. He is having the blanks made out to-day. The Fourth and Twenty-fifth Wards, where the judges and clerks did not agree upon returns, will be taken up Monday. ‘‘I’ll hear what both sides have to say and then give the cer- tificates to one or the other, sO that one set of delegates may gointo the convention with a prima facile case,’’ the Recorder said. City Counselor Marshall bas said from the day of election thathe didnot Delleve tne Circuit Court would grant the applica- tion for a mandamus writ, even if it was made, but he wanted the case to get tothe Supreme Courtin order that the law might bepassed on. ‘‘It will not stand before the Supreme Court,’’ said the Counselor, ‘‘for a aumber Of legal rea- sons.’’ The Democratic District Delegates. The slates have not been satisfactorily made up yet for the delegates Whom the districts willannounce when they get to Sedalia. Even the loose arrangements already made may be overturned by com- binations in the convention for delegates-at- large. | The delegates from the Thirteenth will be divided between the city and the naar ‘ana. tt make ha ee veral a: and John Organ, St, Francois County;which generally has candidates, is ing eg all its strength on the election , . Clard delegate-at- 4, that Cla one of th of sever see The other be one H, Swift or Tone Fruin from the Twelfth. Phere is no slate in the Eighth District. Mayor Noonan’s friends carried the district at the primaries, but he is not trying to dic- tate who the delegates shall be, as several of his allies are candidates. Councilman Will- lam Cullinane came out as a candidate after everybody had agreed that Boller Inspector John J. Burke and William Haney ought to be elected, and this set allof the candidates to fighting. Pat Degnan is now a candidate and has some votes pledged to him. The Business Men’s Democratic Club. The organization of the Business Men’s Democratic Club is proceeding rapidly. The following circulars are being sent out to the down-town Democrats: MY DEAR Sin—Referring toand confirming the previous call looking to the organization of a **Busi— ness Men’s Democratic Club of St. Louls’*’ and having a sufficient number of responses from repre- sentative business men to insure a strongand in- fluential organization this further notice is given thatatan early date the initial meres will be called (exact date and place of meeting will be given to all who respond) for the purpose of formally or- ganiving, electing officers, adopting constitution, by-laws, etc. ) In the meantime, with the view of securing from the beginning the affiliation of every representative and influential Democrat in St. Louis this further call is made, hoping thereby not only to enlist your sympathy and support, but as well your earnest etforts tewards securing at once the enrollment of any of your neighbors whom you may deem proper and fit members for our organization, which ‘*has come to stay,’’ and under principles as set forth above, whose atm will be to solidify and offer the St. Louis Democratic business men’s support and influ- ence where their services are required orcan be mete of benefit either in national, State or municipal ariairs. In keeping with same will you please sign the form belew, and, as well secure the signatures of other g00d Democrats of our iy! who may bein sympethy with the movement, and forward same at an early date to Very truly yours, MARCUS BERNHEIMER, for Committee.

The Eleventh District Republican Conven- tion wound up its work late yesterday after- noon by electing William H. Schaeffer of the Twelfth Ward and Julius Lehman, the Eighteenth Ward member of the House of Delegates as alternates to the national convention, Frank Obear, a Silk-stocking delegate, was on the Filleyite programme for an alternateship, but because of the fight made by John N. Straat of the Twenty-eighth Ward, Mr. Obear’s name was taken off the slate, and the convention ad- journed, leaving Filley’s friends holding the two delegates and the two alternates, Mr. Straat displayed some feeling when he saw * that the Silks could not get one of the delegateships and this an- gered the opposition leaders, who insisted that Mr. Straat was trying to stir up factional feeling in the convention. On theother hand the Twenty-elghth Ward charged that the Filleyites were keeping up the factional controversy. Undertherule of the conven- tion the Twenty-eighth had 18 votes, but could cast but nine for any one candidate. When the ward was called Mr. Straat cast nine for Obearand one for C. H. Sampson. The ward refused to cast the other eight either for Sampson or Wenneker. Atter the convention Wenneker’s friends were an enthusiastic crowd. They were, of course, pleased at the refusalofthe conven- tion to instruct the district delegates to vote for Harrison. ; Treasurer Foerstel’s Office. Some one who signs himself ‘‘An Ex-Com- mitteeman’’ writes to the POST-DISPATCH as follows: I noticed in the columnsof your paper of Monday that City Treasurer Michael Foerstel is prominently mentioned for Chairman of the new Republican City Central Committee. Did youever think over the numerous honors the party has bestowed upon him? Chairman of the Twelfth District Congressional Committee, State Committeeman rom the same _ district, City Treasurer, an ex- pected delegate to the National Convention and an avowed candidate for Mayoralty honors in the spring. Just think of it,and if you can see any justice in making him Chairman of the City Committee then I fail to comprehend what justice is. it is time for some Ofthe younger element to receive some of the honors. Just keep your eyeon Mr. Pocock of the Twenty-second Ward. He isin my opinion the most available of the young men and comes nearer posses- sing all the.elements required to make a good Chair- man than any of the coming generation He would command the respect and confidence of every man in the party and fill the position with dignity and credit and with fairness to each committee man, It is said to-day that Mr. Foerste] will not be the new Chairman of the Central Commit- tee, as his holding the office would burt him if he became a candidate for the Mayoralty or for Collector in the spring. Ex-State Representative T. O, Martin is being talked of for the office. Filley’s Crowd Will Run It. The Twelfth District Republican convention will be held at Central Turner Hall to-morrow to nominate two delegates and twoalternates tothe national convention, The Filleyites have a majority of the delegates, and will, in all probability, send ex-Congressman F. G. Niedringhaus and City Treasurer Michael Foerstelas the delegates to Minneap- Olis. This was understood to be the pro- gramme to-day. The district is made up of the First, Second, ‘third, Fifteenth, Seven- teenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, part of the Twenty-second, part of the Twen- ty-fourth, partof the Twenty-fifth, all the Twenty-sixtb and all but one precinctof the Twenty-seventh Ward. Atthe primary the hoodlums carried all but the Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-fifth Wards. Lon Stephens’ Boom, The Cooper County Democratic Convention adopted a resolution indorsing Treasurer Lon V. Stephens for re-election, and calling on a paper published in the county to stop fighting him, The McKee Estate. Judge H. A. Clover, the legal representa- tive ofthe McKee estate, who called at the Probate Court yesterday to make arrange- ments in the interest of nhis_ client, Miss Ellen J. Mckee, with = re- gard to the taking out of letters of administration by Miss McKee on the estate of her mother, the late Mrs. Eliza McKee, has decided to defer action in the matter fora few days. Judge Clover stated to-day that it might be a week before the letters would be applied for. The original intention Was to have the mat- ter attended to to-day, as stated by Judge Clover in his interview with a Post-DispatcHu reporter yesterday. What the cause of the delay is is From the statements, J. B. McCullagh, editor of Democrat, in which paper the McKee estate owns a controlling interest,and Judge Clover, it would seem that the matter ofsecurity may not be entirely adjestes for some little time. The bond will doubtless be the largest ever filed in the Probate Court, owing‘ to the size of the estate, the value of which is said to be nearly $2,000,000. Mr. McCullagh stated that some of the Trust companies would doubtless be given as security. From Judge Clover’s remark yesterday, that is for the administratrix to decide,’’ it would seem that at thattime that matter had not been definitely adjusted. A Special Meeting of the Quarrymen. It was rumored to-day that the quarrymen had gone out on strike. The report was po true.

BRUSSELS, May 4.-—Fourteen kilograms more of explosives have been stolen and fresh outrages are expected. The authori- ties have made a search of the lodgings of Beaujeans, who was arrested together with Lefebre on suspicion of having caused the explosion at Count Minette’s, and found a‘: number of cartridges and a quantity of dyna- mite concealed. When Beaujean learned of this discovery he made a full confession of | his guilt and incriminated a number of other Anarchists, who were arrested to-day. Two of to-day’s prisoners are named Nossent and Lacroix. The police declare that they have discovered evidence of a most formidable conspiracy among the Anarchists’ headquarters, which isin Lige. The conspirators, they say, area thoroughly organized body, and their aim is to terrorizej the law-abiding population. Baroh Mohrenheim, the Russian ambassa- dor to France, is said to have congratulated President Carnot upon the peaceful observ- ance of May Day. Inthe course of the con- versation he expressed the Czar’s opinion, that only a court martial can adequately deal with Anarchists, The Conservative Republican organs of Paris are urging a modification of the press laws that will enable the government to pre- ventthe publication of articles inciting to crimes.

Both Chinese and foreign residents are excited over the trial of strength between the Imperial Government and the malcontents. Most Europeans and the commanders of the foreign men-of-war advocate a combined gunboat demonstration on Junting Lake, in the center of the dis- turbed province. The Foreign Office has made no move to assist the foreign ministers in the matter and the imperial audience which was to have been granted to the for- eign ambassadors now appears to have been indefinitely postponed, SOUTH AMERICA, PROGRESS OF THE VENEZUELA REBELLION— MINOR TOPICS. VENEZEULA, May 4.—Palacio has sent an army from the capital to engage the enemy. A battle may be expected soon south of Car- acas. The object of the President inthis move seems to be to draw the revolutionists away from Valencia and Calabozo, which they now surround, prevent- ing communication between the government and Gens, Yarra, Aranjo and Casanas,whoare located in these towns, and the capital. If Palacio’s forces should prove victorious, they will undoubtedly march to the relief of the besieged city. Palacio seems to have arrived at the conclusion that he must act aggressively or the Federalists will become so powerful that they will sweep all before them, BOLIVIA’S ELECTION, Orvro, Bolivia, May 4.—The presidential election inthis country will be held on Sun- day next.

Last year was the greatest building year in the history of St. Louis, but overshadowing as the year was in this respect its record for the first four months has been surpassed by the corresponding months of this year. The building record for 1891 up to May 1 was as follows: Cost of Improvements. $ 72 1.201.000 1,129,000 Totals $4,129,000 For 1892 the record Is as follows: Permits lesued, 74 Permits Cost of Improvements. $35,400 ,610 $5,533,700 e of 122 permits anda gain of $1,403,100 in the amount of money ex- pended for building improvements over the first four months of iast year. In other wordsthereisa gain of 8!e per cent inthe number of permits issued anu an increase of 34 per cent in the amount of money for new buildings as compared with the corresponding period of last year, wnen St. Louis erected and spent more money for building improvements than ever before. This gain is all the more significant and re- markable in view of the lateness of the pres- ent season and extremely unfavorable weather which has prevailed since Jan. 1, very much to the delay of building operations generally. IMPROVING BELL PLACE. The Bell Place Reaity Co. let the contract to-day for the removal of 125,000 cubic yards of garth that will be shifted in opening and grading streets through the Bell place prop- erty,comprising a frontage of 9,682 feet at the southwest corner of Union and Delmar ave- nues. At the principal corner the property is thirty-seven feet hizherthan Union avenue at Forest Park, and the streets will be cut down in conformity with that level all over the Bell tract, a plan that affordsa full view of street sur- face from Union avenue tothe west line of the plat. When the grading has been done contracts for the full improvement of the plat with sewers, water, gas and granitoid walks, curbs and gutters aretobelet. The character offthe street paving has not yet been decided upon, butit isto bethe best and most highly approved in the improvement of high caste residence property. It is intended to make Beil place finer than any other resi- dence subdivisionin the West. , FOREST PARK PLACE. Rutledge & Horton report the sale of 300 feet of ground on the south side and 300 feet on the north iine of Washington avenue about 1,000 feet west of King’s highway, in;North Forest Park place, at $75 afoot, from W.

Wolff & Oo,, showing that from a small deposit of $530 with the firm in 1870 her little nest egg had gTOWD until there is now $9,000 in cash to her credit. She intrusted the money to the firm to be loaned out for her benefit, and at odd times in the interval added $1,300 more tn the Original principal, making $1,830 the sum total of her deposits. This money and its earnings were kept out at interest on short loans all the while, and in that way made to grow to its compara- tively handsome proportions,a snug little fortune for the now aged nurse. Ann McLo- gan was formerly a resident of St. Louls, and she had a brother who used to be a builder in this city. She now lives in St. James Parish, La., still faithfull ofnurse inthe fa The —— Co. report the following sales: ~—_— i f ‘i 75 northeast corner of Westminister place and Walton avenue, embracing six lots, with an area of 152x150 feet, for Frank D. brown to Pierre Nagle for $14,650; also, 50x120 feet in Mount Auburn, on south side of Theodosia avenue, between Hamilton and Hodiamont, for the Commercial Keal Estate Co. to Alex.

Miller to William R. Barnhart. A $1,000,000 CORPORATION. An English Syndicate Invests Heavily in East St. Louis. Millions of dollars of British money have been invested in S&t. Louis industries, in its municipal bonds, andafew hundred thous- ands from the English capital have also found their way heretofore into real estate of the Future Great; ali of which ventures have proven so profitable to the London specula- tors, that they have now planted $500,000 more here to pay for property, and that money, too, will shortly be added to the local surplus. What better evidence than this, from the world’s financial center, covld be given of the stability of St. Louis’ institutions? or what higher appreciation manifested for the perimanency of its securities. Shortly after English capitalists put $10,- 000,000 or more into St. Louis breweries they became interested in realestate investments in this city through the instrumentality of Mr. Moses Greenwood, Jr. It came about in this way: Mr. Greenwood, while ona visit to his college.town, Salem, Va., chanced tofrom the acquaintances of Wm, Charlesand Alfred H. Peel, cousins of Sir Robert Peel. The young Messrs. Peel were, at that time m King a leisurely tour of America, and being gentlemen of financial means withaneye of speculation, they had invested profitably in West Virginia sheep ranches and coal lands. Encouraged intuis way and having closed their deals in West Virginia, Mr. Greenwood did not have much difficulty in persuading them to come on here and try their hand at money-making in St. Louls. The result was his sale to them of the Benton farm of 750 acres for $1£0,000,in July, 1889, Later on, he sold them the Sutton farm of 206 acres, now known as Greenwood Park, for $140,000. The Messrs. Peel interested other Englishmen in_ this latter deal, and the property was sold for them atan advance of 50 per cent to the Greenwood Land and Improvement Co., who have since developed the tract into a suburban residence place. This wasa quick turn, and so profitable the Enlishmen resolved to try their luck avain, to the extent of the profits they had made at least. Accordingly, they instructed their agent, Mr. Greenwoou, to hunt up profitable realestate investments and present fortheir consideration such as he could recommend. Mr. Greenwood found three different groups of property on the other side of the river, and last September he went to London fortified with all manner of statistical matter, municipal reports of street and other public improvements, annual reports from the Merchants Exchange and reports also from the office of the Recorder of Deeds, to support and prove allthat he was going to say about the wonderful progress of this great Western metropolis. He found, though, that the Londoners were better posted about St. Louis than he had imagined they were. They were pleased with their brewery investments; were ascer- tained to be large holders of railway stocks centering at St. Louis, and preferred them and sought after them more than siocks in other lines, but when it came to reali estate, the average English capitalist was not sO eager to put his money intothat kind of an investment. Nevertheless St. Louls securi- ties ranked high in London. The English- man’s judgment in this particular was based upon actual and profitable experience, and while Mr. Greenwood was yet in London $2 000,000 of St. Louis city bonds were placed there, and Mr. Fred Gabel, Assistant Comp- troller,has crossed the Atlantic and delivered these securities to their purchasers. This was no set-back, however, but rather an assistance to Mr, Greenwood’s enter- prise. He succeeded in interesting the Law & Debenture Corpofation and the National Insurance & Guarantee Corporation of Lon- don and their solicitors, Parker, Garrett & Parker, in the East St. Louis properties; then he returned home, arriving here late in February, to await future developments. Somewhat to nis surprise he found that Francis Ashby had already been hegre from London to examine and inquire into the value of St. Louis securities held across the water, as well as to look into the real estate that Mr. Greenwood had offered there, The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Ashby to his principals may be ac- cepted asa pretty good indorsement of this city’s business methods: ‘‘On visiting St. Louls I was considerably impressed with the sound business methods of the city, and Will plorea system of ‘booming’,/kKnown to Amert- can cities in general, is conspicuous in St. Louis by its absence.’’ : This only proves how cautiouslythe foreign capitalist proceeded before entering into any contract to purchase realestate. But that is not all, for when Mr. Ashby came here he was shrewd enough to bring with him one of the most prominent real estate operators of Chicago to get his Judgment as to the value of the property offered, well knowing that the business relations between the two cities would induce the Chicagoan to make the most conservative es- timates. His report was favorable, never- theless, for the property was offered at a low price as the grantors, who bought it very cheap, preferred to sell at a 50 per cent net advance rather than to expend $50,000 to $75,- 000 for the improvements essential to make it bring the money that the English purchasers will make out of it. These matters were all considered before the owners agreed to sell for the price they did, and, for all that, nodoubt the property could have been solid for more money, but cltors, are fevi for carrying the title eafely fely property may ‘and in a way that the especially remark that the much to be de-’ by ood & Co, | readily transferred in parcels without delay, papers that are expected to reach St, Louls in a few days. One of the plats of ground sold embraces the subdivision known as Lansdowne Heights. It comprises a frontage of 84,000 feet situated high above the great flood of 1844, One mile east of the National Stock Yards, nortbeast of and ae the city boundary line of East St. Louls. This land, higher than any property in that locality, was formerly known as the Winstanley asture, 400 acres in extent. it 1as a frontage of 4,000 feet on the Belt Line Rallroad, connecting with the Merch- ants’ Bridge and all the railways centering at St. Louls. and it also has a frontage on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad. Streets are now graded through this subdivision and art of itis improved with granitoid walks. talso has two good bridges over streams over highways over which the Scullin Elec- tric Line willl connect Lansdowne Heights with East St. Loulson the other bank, and the principal city on this side of the river. The syndicate now, the grantors, who brought this Winstanley pasture abouta year ago, was made up of Gov. D. R. Francis, John D. . G. Boyd, August Gehner, Sidney . S. W. Cobb, John G. Prather, Williamson Bacon, C. C. Maffitt, Joseph E., Gorman, and W. Hemans. They bought from Thomas E. Tutt, J. T. Donovan and J. T. McCasiand, who also made at least 50 per cent on the purchase and sale of the prop- erty, they having bought it directly from the Winstanley estate only about two years ago. The second piece was a forty-eight-acre tract of 10,500 feet frontage, situated pretty mear the center of East St. Louis, im- mediately south of the National Stock Yards. This is another parcel of high ground, not much more tian a foot below the high grade now being established for the streets under reconstruction on the other side of the river. St. Clair avenue is the northern line of the property. It is bounded on the south by Illinois avenued and east by First street, and west by switch- ing yards of the Bridge &TunnelCo. Being wellup to grade it will require but little filling. The grantors, forthis plot,who pur- chased about a year ago from Messrs. Allen, Lyon and Collett, were J. T. McCasland,John and Arthur Lee, Rutledge & Kilpatrick and Guignon & Greenwooc. No streets are opened through this ground yet, but it is to be plerced by a main business thoroughfare connecting East St. Louis with the stock yards much more readily and conveniently than by the present circuitous route around Collinsville avenue. The third tract sold to the Britishers is a par- cel having a 14,200 feet frontage, situated be- tween Broadway and the Air .Line Railway, and extending from Eleventh street on the west to Monroe street on the east. It fronts on the south side of Broadway, and has a double frontage on the north and south side of Walnut street, immediately north of and adjoining the Missour! Maleable Iron Works and the Obear Glass Works. Mrs. MaryS. J. De Moss was the owner ofthis parcel, and grantor to the English purchasers. She bought the ground about a yearago, and, like other sellers, has parted with it at a 50 per cent profit, according to agreement. Con- tracts have been let for raising the grade and full improvement of Broadway through this pee ge from ‘lenth street east to the Belt Ane Railroad, and when the work is com- pleted, it will greatly add tothe value ofall the lots abutting on that prominent business street. To-day the parties owning these properties incorporated with a capital stock of $1,000,000 under the name of the Security Real Estate & Investment Co., of which L. C. Nelson was elected President; August Gehner, Vice- President, and Moses Greenwood, Secretary and Treasurer. Real Estate News. ALICE AV.—25 ft., bet. Grant and Alger- non, city block 3538. Phil KE.

TO BE PIGEON-HOLED. The New Plan for Defeating the Hatch Bil. Telegrams were received this morning from Washington, stating that the probabilities were that the Hatch bill would not be brought to a vote this week and that it was very likely that no vote would be taken at all. The tactics that practically defeated the Butter- worth bill will, it is asserted, be applied to the Hatch measure, like the date set or consideration, but the time allotted was used for other pez poses, and the bill was pigeon-holed. his could only have been done - the co-opera- _— of those who wou have been oqmperied to vote in the affirmative if lot had beentaken. Exactly the same condition of affairs is believed to prevail now. Scores of ngressmen who are strongly opposed tothe prohibitive features of the Hatch scheme have been instructed by their constituencies to vote for its enactment but are exceedingly anxious to e this necessity. They are counted u n by the open opponents of the bill to tacl i in its shelving. The Board of Directors of the St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange have de- cided not to send a delegation to Washington to oppose the bill in the House of Representa- tives, but will actively ight the measure in the.Senate, should itever reach that rem Such a result is, however, considered hig improbable.

Conference of His Friends to Be Held in Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—A conference of Republican leaders will be held in this city this week in order to carefully review the po- litical situation. Gen. Clarkson will eadeavor to be here, although he has written that he may not be able to reach the city until the 15th, when he will pass through here’ en route to Minne- apolis. Among those who will be at the con- ference will be Senators Quay, Teller, Wol- cott and Washburn, ex-Speaker Reed and others, The gathering is not intended to be friendly to the Administration. A gentleman who Is to participate in the conference said to a Post-DISPATCH reporter yester- day that it had been practi- cally decided to unite on Minister Lincoln. It will be remembered that already a number of dis trict dslegates in Pennsyl- vania have declared in favor of Lincoln, and that the North Carolina delegates, although nominally instructed for Harrison, have also expressed a decided preference for Lincoln. It will not be surprising if from this time forth Mr. Lincoln’s name figures prominently in the presidential slates, with Mr, Rusk for the second place, MYSTERIOUS BEN. There is something very confusing about the moves of the administration forces. Sometime ago Mr. Harrison stated to a prominent man thathe did not believe he would let his name go before the con- vention for renomination; that he certainly would not accept the nomination unless it came to him with practical unanim- ity, and that he did not think he would dado 50 even then. This statement was repeated at the time in these dispatches, Three days ago two prominent men, who will exercise a great deal of influence at the national convention, calledon Mr. Harrison to question him on this point. In veply tothis question he re- peated substantially the statement quoted above, and gave them the impression that he would not let Lis name go before the conven- tion. IT SOUNDS QUEER. The fact that Mr, Harrison might naturally expect the support of these men if he intends to fight for the nomination wiien the conven- tion meets makes this declaration seem most extraordinary, in view of the efforts that are being put forth to get together the ad- ministration forces, Those who have been con- vinced by the earnestness of Mr. Harrison’s declaration that he does not expect to bea candidate, have constructed a theory to fit the pecullar conflicting evidences, that his real object in getting his forces into line is to be able to nominate whom he pleases if the nomination does not come to bim without opposition.

O0O., May 4.—The News and Courier publishes special reports to-day from every country in South Carolina in regard to the reduction of cotton acreage. The reports show that in all sections of the State there had been a considerable reduction in the acreage planted incotton. In some sections it will not amount to 6 to l0percent. In others it is as high as 50 per cent, and in some instances extensive farmers have not plantea @ single cotton seed. Taken all together, it is safe to a ! that the average reduction for the State is about 25 percent. Avery gratify- ing feature of this new farm movement is that the acreage taken from cotton is being given to bread crops.

The following real estate is also included: lots 22, 23 and 24, in Dunveigh Heights, an addition to Kansas City, Mo., andthe undivided two-thirds of lot 32 in Warwick Ridge, an addition to Kan- sas City, Mo., and the east 320 feet of what was formerly lot 6, nowiot 8,1in block 1 of McGee’s Summit addition, less the east 30 feet thereof, heretofore conveyed toW.

Robinson, President ofthe Robinson Woolen Co., and Charles G. Robinson, Secretary of the com- pany. The value ofthe assets or the amount of liabilities is not given inthe deed of as- Signment, which is accompanied by an affi- davit by President Frank B. Robinson, setting forth that the instrument was signed and sealed in behalf of said corporation by authority ot its Board of Directors. SAID TO BE A HEAVY FAILURE. The assignment was really made at Kansas City, where the main office of the firm is located, and the papers filed here are practically but copies of the Kansas City assirnment papers. I1n_ fact the assignment made here this morning does not comply with the law, as it gives no statement of assets as required. The firm has a whole- sale or jobbing house at Kansas City and also bas retail tailoring estabfishments at that place, St. Louls, Omaha, Topeka and Wichita. Just what the assets and liabilities are no one in St, Louis seems to know, and various state- ments have been made concerning them, the failures being rated as high as $1,000,000. While this is, in all probability, a very high estimate, the fact that the firm had a wholesale and five retail stores gives color to the claim that the failures will reach wellup in the hun- dreds of thousands. Its jobbing department at Kansas Cityis Known as the Robinson Woolen Co.,and its tailoring department there as the London Tallors. The Sst. Louis branch is located at 806 Olive street, the Fagin Building and is called the Robinson Talloring Co. The Omaha and Wichita branches are organized under the name of the Robinson Tailoring Co. and the Topeka branch as the London Tallors, Mr. E. D. Kdwards, manager of the St. Louis branch, was seen to-day following the assignment and stated that he could give no figures or detalls of the failure as the St. Louis branch was onlya selling department of the concern, and all the books were keptin Kansas City where the main concern had been in business about ten years. The house has had a branch in st. Louis only for the past year, Mr. L. N. Leslie of Kansas appointed by Assignee George C, ery to take charge of the St. stock, arrived this morning. Manager Ed- ward stated that business would probably be resumed in this branch of the concern at an early date, as the house had a good St. Louis trade. He had received no intimation of the firm’s tronbles, and knew nothingof the cause of thefailure, but thought that speculation in Kansas City realestate had cuta large figure init. He did not Know the extent ofthe liabilities or assets. to Watches on Easy Payments.

TOPEKA, Kan., May 4.—Keports are coming in from all parts of Kansasand Oklahoma of the damage to life and property by the wind and rainof the lastfew days. The violence of the wind was such that wire service over the affected area was almost entirely sus- pended. For three miles aleng Mission Creek not a house has been left standing. At Auburn the storm carried off the house of James Drake and lodged his 14-year-old daughterinatreetop. The Pleasant Valley School-house was completely destroyed.

MARSEILLES, Ill., May 4.—From appear- ances, a miracie only can save Marseilles from threatened inundation. The almost un. ceasing rainstormsthat have raged up and down the Illinois, Fox and Kankakee Valleys since Sunday night have precipitated upon this large area thousands of tons of water in excess of any heretofore encountered flood. ihe rivers have been rapidly rising since een, ane the Illinois, from far above arselilies to the navigable waters pelow La Sallie, is nearly a mile wide and deep enoughin the channel to float the largest lake vessels. The waters have already risen some eighteen feet above low water mark, and in this city the situation is desperate. A large force of men has been ralsing the levee with piles and dirt in an endeavor to fight back the rapidly rising waters, but the rise is slowly gaining upon them and the Waters are yradual!l creeping over the entire eastern end of the ievee, which may break atany moment. The breaking of the levee may mean the sweeping away of nearly every manufacturing institution in the city. including the lllinois Valley Paper Mill, the largest in the world; the Marsellies Manuilactiring Co.’s works, the Jolin F. Clark mills, the Dawell Flouring Mills and Many new industries, in which millions are — besides rendering fifty families des- itute. Besides the damage done here valuable crops put in upon the IJilinois bottoms for twenty miles on either side of Ottawa are under water, involving a loss of $50,000to farmers. The Kickapoo and other bridges have gone out and Allen, Park, Ottawa and all of the lower islands are flooded. LOST IN A STORM. SERARCHING FOR VICTIMS OF A BLINDING MANI- \ Re TOBA BLIZZARD. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 4.—Reports just received from Winnipeg and the Northwest Verritories indicate that last week’s storm in Manitoba, in which twe settlers lost their lives, Was quite as severe in the Northwest. The McLeod mall, which started from that town on Monday, has not yet been heard from. The driver did not reach the first _ stopping place, which is fifty miles from Mc- Leod, and it is supposed that he nas been on the prairie.

LOUIS DESTROYED. An Early Morning Fire Which Caused a General Alarm-Falling Walls Do a Great Deal of Damage—A Woman’s Rescue ofa Pet Dog Almost Results in a Fatality. * The St. Louis Sash and Door works on the north side of North Market street and east of Broadway, took fire this morning at 6:35 o’clock and ina few hours were totally de- stroyed. Theeast side of the building ex- tended along the railroad tracks on Second street, about 150 feet, half way to Benton street. The South side of the building reached along North Market street, westward to a twenty foot alley. Across the alley is the Mound Oity Hotel, con- ducted by James Robinson, and situated on the northwest corner of Broadway and North Market street. The hotelstructure is three stories high, while the tenements and small stores, which were™in the same block, and under the shadow of the north and west walls of the big six-story factory, are only two stories high. The whole property on the block is owned by Thedore Sessinghaus and all of it was in immediate danger for a time, The fire was discovered by Luke Dewsuap, a driver for the company. He saw the flames darting out of the sixth story windows of the factory on North Market street near the alley. A GENERAL ALARM GIVEN. He turned on an alarm from box 362, at the Mound City Hotel. On the arrival of tne first fire companies at 6:37 a second, and immedi- ately after a general, alarm was sounded. Assistant Chief John F. Barry answered the first alarmand he stated thatas he reachea thecorner of Broadway and North Market street the flames were leaping from every window onthe west sideof the building on the fifthand sixth floors. The bDlaze leaped across the narrow alley and hung like an un- earthly halo over the roofs of the Mound City Hotel and the tenement houses and stores on Broadway, north ofthe hotel. Barry drew the conclusion that the fire originated in the northend of the building and extended to every nook and corner of the heavily stocked floor, when the flames burst out of the windows and were fanned by the east wind which came up from the river. The fire made its way downward from floor to floor until the total six stories were wrapped in flames and doomed. Chief Lindsay arrived on the scene after the third alarm, and under his directions the corner of the alley and North Market street was made the point of attack. Four streams were directed against the fire to save the other properties. Streams to fhe number of twelve were also turned on the east and north walls. The establishment, which was more of a warehouse for the Rock Island Lumber Manufacturing Co., Rock Island, Ill., thanafactorp, was filled witha very large stock of sashes. doors ana blinds. was 4 thirty men were employed at machinery work. : DAMAGED BY FALLING WALLS. The walls began to give way to the outward pressure ofrhe flaming material , before’ the fire had lasted halfan hour... The upper por- tion of the west wall fell first, and in ten minutes more the remainder of the wall crashed upon the Mound City Hotel and the Broadway tenements. The rear portions of these structures are buried beneath the mass of walls and lumber. The The furniture and household materials of the Mound City Hotel were damaged $500, and the house itself about $300. John Doran, 2410 North Broadway, who keeps ashoe store, suffered atotalloss of $300; Mary Dalt, 2414 North Broadway, $50, and Jane Cooper, 2414 North Broadway, $30, from the fall of the west wall. The buildings are damaged also to the extent of $1,000. Almost at the same time thesouth, east and north walls fell outward, as if the building was filled with a stock of beans, soaked with water. Two railroad cars, which stood on the track near the east wall were destroyed. One was the property of theC., B. &Q. Rh. R., loaded with corn; the other was a Mis- sourl Pacific car, stocked with hay. The water tower was stationed only a sbort distance to the south of the falling wall’s track, andthe Hays truck, No, 7, had been hauled away from its place beneath the same wall scarcely five minutes before the crash. The north wall fell upon a one-story annex ofthe factory and carried everything into the cellar. Several lines of hose were buried beneath the south wall. ‘The flames were given full ventas soon as the wa lis had crumbled, and the burning doors, window frames and shutters, which seemed to fly everywhere with the re- movai of the walls, increased the danger of a reneral conflagration. But the firemen redoubled their efforts and confined the flames totheir original bounds. Men scrambled upto the very top of the huge pile of stock in the west alley and be- gan to remove ftfre various burning embers. THE LOSSES, H. Riesenberg, manager of the establish- ment, was seen.and asked what was the ex- tent of the loss.’ Hie stated that he estimated the damages onthe stock at $60,000 and on the building at $40,000. The whole is fully in- sured, 4 policies are held by & Wall Whittemore No. 3804 Worth Third street, Roesiein Robyn, 223 Chestnut street, and Martin Collins, Son & Co., 105 North Third street. The bullding and surrounding property, as already stated, is owned by Theodore Sessinghaus, President of the Sessinghaus Milling. Co., 2325 North Ninth street, a few short blocks from the fire. Mrs. George Walter, who resided in the second story of 2512 North Broadway hada very narrow esca from death. When the cry was given to look out forthe west wall, she fled toward the street, but returned to save her pet dog, which was in the rear of the house. She picked - the canine and hurried out of the house at the very instant that the wallifelland senta sound of thunder after her. She was proud of her achievement, and withthe dog in her arms, she satonthe west side of Broadway and viewed the prog- ress of the fire. Capt. Matt Kiely of the Fourth District had a large force of officers on the scene in a short time after the outbreak of the fire and assisted the firemen materially. The Broadway cable cars were stopped from 7 o’clock to 8:30 o’clock. Some firemen were at work onthe ruins all day in order to quench ign el 4 smoldering ember. Mr. James Robinson,the lessee of the Mound City Hotel, was in his office on the second floor, fronting meer de getting his cash and accounts together, when the falling west wall of the factory fell on the east end of the hotel. A clould of smoke and dust swept through the hallway leading to the Matin stairway, and he was so blinded with smoke and dust and had a very close call from fall- ing downstairs. Sergt. Jack Leonard ofthe Fourth District had a narrow escape from Doing Sener with falling bricks in the rear of the hotel. HALF A CENTURY OLD. The Mound City Hotel is nearly halfa cen- tury old...

Virulent Form of the Disease Discovered and Isolated. Cuicaco, Ill., May 4.—Small-pox in its worst form has appeared in the city and the old smali-pox pest-house, which had almost fallen into decay, is now tenanted for the first time in three years.

NEw YorK, May 4.—Mrs. Theophila Krae-, mer, who according tothe Russian Govern- ment’s representatives in this city and in Washington, has been trying to goto Russia in the guise ofa member of the Red Cross Society, while in reality intending to secure admission to the Empire for the promotion of her own schemes, is not, as has been sup- posed, on her way to St. Petersburg, but is in her house at Steinway, L. I.,.A reporter found the woman in a lavishly furnished | villa, and in their talks she said that she was nota Socialist, but claimed to be merely a patriotic Polish woman, and said that if the nussian authorities had prevented her going to Russia, it was because they were jealous of the interest taken by a Polish exile in the welfare of her people. BEECHAM!’S PILLS cure Sick-Headache, All About a Pair of Shoes. Mrs. Jennie Willon, living at Fifteenth, near Market street, applied for a summons yesterday inthe First District Police Court against James Waterson, an engineer em- ployed in a laundry at Sixteenth street, near Clark avenue, for disturbing her peace. She said that two weeks ago Dora Washington, a servant in her employ stole a pair of shoes from her. Sheallegesshe discharged Dora and told her that unless she returned the shoes she would have her arrested, Dora, she claims, tola herthat her lover, Water- son, would pay for the shoes. Mrs. Wilson visited Waterson at his home and she says he ordered her to leave the room at the point of a revolver. Hence the summons. Mrs. Willon and the girl have been arrested twice for fighting on the street about the shoes, Graduated as Nurses.

The Slayer of Sherman Williamson Agi- tated Over the Evidence Against Him. Ed Andrews, who killed Sherman William- son at Fisher’s stable last Saturday night, is beginning to realize the fact that the evi- dence against him is very strong and that his only hope now lies in proving that William- son not only attacked him with a hatchet be- fore the final encounter, but also threatened, then and afterwards, tokill him. If he can make this claim good, then he will have, he thinks, @ clear case of self-defense, just as Jim McCann had when tried t week for the murder of Hugh Gorham. McCann’s wrasse showed that he had been attacked by Gorham a few hours before the final meeting and his life threatened afterwards, and they claimed that McCann was then justified in taking Gorham’s life the first time he met him, and this claim was sustained by the jury. Andrews counted immediately after the shooting on the evidence of two wit- nesses toclear him. He expected that one of the stable employes named Dorsey would testi that Andrews at- tacked him with a hatchet last Satur- day evening, and that he followed this with athreat to kill him the next time he gota chance and he expected Mrs. Williamson to corroborate his own statement in regard to the shooting, which was to the effect that Andrews had him by the throat and was shoving him over against the stove when the final shot was fired. Mr. Dorsey does not, however, recollect the alleged threats of Andrews against Will- iamson, and Mrs. Williamson in her inter- view with a Post-DiIsPATCH reporter yesterday volunteered thp statement, and repeated it with emphasis, that her husband had nothing whatever in his hands when he entered the harness-room, that he was fully three feet from Andrews when he was shot and that Andrews co have easily gotten out of his way and have left the room if he had wanted to. In regard to Wil- liamson’s assaulton Andrews witha hatchet Dorsey testified at the inquest that Andrews did not tse the hatchet. He hadone in his hand but at the same time Andrews had his revolver drawn. Thetrouble ended in talk and there was noassault mada by either party. In commenting this morningon the state- ments of his witnesses, Andrews lamented the inability of Dorse to remember the | apse mye of the first encounter aturday night as he, Andrews, remembered them and he hoped that he would yet recall the assault and the threats which Andrews afterwards made against him. **He threatened in Dorsey’s presence to kill me,’’ said Williamson, ‘‘and I hope Dor- sey will recollect it, and Dorsey knows that he had to take Williamson’s hatchet from him. Iknow I had my pistol out, but I didn’t use it and wasn’t going to unless An- drews struck at me with the hatchet. Mrs. Williamson is mistaken in thinking I could have gotten away from her husband at the second assault on me. could not ampey | have gotten away. Wwill- iamson opened the door and rushed in on me and before I knew it his left hand was at my throat. He pushed me over against the stove and I had my pistolin my vest pocket, cocked, under my apron, and as he shoved me over I pulled the pistol out and fired. He reeled out of the door he came inand Iran out of the other door. He didn’t have any hatchet when I saw himandif he threw one at mel did’t knowit. I did not shoot again after I ran out and I fired only one shot in a instead of two, as the witnesses all testi- ed to.’’ Andrews said that the Coroner’s jury did wrong in holding Mrs. Williamson and he hoped thatshe would soon be released, as she was entirely blameless. He admitted that he had lived with the Willlamsons on Marion street when they had but one room and that he sleptin the room when William- son wasabsent and his wife was present, but denied that there had been anything wrong between himself - and . the woman and wanted t0 Know why such an in- ference should be drawn. He didn’t even think that such a condition of affairs ought to or that it would be Iikely tocreate talk in the neighborhood and gaid that the only talk he heard of came from Mrs. Orthman and that she talked because he refused to pay the rent due from the Willilamsons. He lived with them only a few days on Marion street and only two weeks after they left Mrs. Orthman’s. That waslast October, but on Feb. 1 he went to live with them again at their own request. They now had three rooms and he occupied one of them ali to himself. He staid there untilthe middle of April and then left, as Mr. Williamson had become very jealous of him. While living with them he paid $20a month for board and $2 for washing, and did it solely to help them along, asthey hadto pay $10 a month for rent and $10in payments on their furniture and Williamson’s salary was only $3 a month. In regard to the first encounter between them saturday evening, Andrews said it was onaccount of the gold-headed umbrella which Williamson carried away from the stable. He (Andrews) told Mr. Fisher, the roprietor of the stable, that «Williamson ad the umbrella, and that made Williamson mad,andas soon as he (Andrews) ‘arrived at the stable that evening, last Saturday evening, Williamson denounced him for re- porting the cane matter to Mr. Fisher, and ran at him with a hatchet. Mr. Estep, the Prosecuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction, will issue a warrant for murder inthe first degree this afternoon anne Andrews, but says that no warrant will be issued agalnst Mrs. William- son. She will be released from custody be- fore night. Accused of Moving Mortgagred Goods. A warrant was sworn out yesterday charg. ing Chas. 8. Martel with the illegal removal of mortgaged property. It is alleged that Martel boughtalot of furniture from Geo. Fritsch of 1507 South Broadway on the time- payment plan, and while the firm still held a mortgage on the goods, removed them with- out consent to his farm near Litchfield, Ill. THE RIVERS.

EE THE SIROCCO IN VENICE, Dreadful Symptoms Experienced by the Visitor. From Ali the Year Round. Wein England have our celebrated east winds, Venice has its bora. Of the two, the east wind is the more courteous affliction. There are also sirocco days, which annoy in other forms. If your friend gets up witha very bad temper, snaps all your civil re- marksin two without apparent rhyme or reason, trifiles with his morning meal,‘in- stead of eating it,and finally complains of a ‘*beastly headache,’’ itis safe to ask the waiter or somebody what the weather is doing. The answer will probably be ac- companied with the apologetic shrug one soon gets so familiar with. ‘‘Signore, itis a sirocco.’’ You gooutside. Not a breath is stirring. You have not walked the length of Sst. Mack’s ere you feel relaxed inall your joints. You are taken with an urgent and ignominious desire for a chair. There are chairs enough, if you can find them, but the gloom of the beautiful old ca- thedral is so profound and your eyes have got so disused to the nether darkness by star- ingupat the dome and windows that you stumble about in vain for awhile. At length ou trip over somethingthat must be a chair. fou are right, but there is a lady on the chair, or Kneeling with her arms rest- ing on its back. You go a_i iittle farther and fare no better. At length you espy an _ wunoccupied seat near a column. Aswell as your weakened legs will enable you, you run toward it, reckless of the consecrated building, and reminiscent of the unbridled trotting about of sacristans and others. Once again, how- ever, youare disappointed. Another visi- tor, taken with the same dreadful symptoms that make you fancy your end is at hand, has been beforehand with you. He has ap- proached it from the other side of tbe col- umnand sinks into it witha groan. You haveno sympathy with his evident ou are conscious of nothing ut your own yen debility. Hither and thither your anguished eyes gaze in futile quest forthe support you now need more than ever. Is it possible thatyou can be dying? There is a buzzing in your ears, you cannot see distinctly, your head Is ready tosplit. Asa last resource you crawl the whole length of the church, resting at pillars b the way, until you reach the choir. ‘*Thank heaven!’’ you gasp as you steps and collapse into seats. For a moment or two youare oblivious of everything except the gratitude that possesses you, Anon however, you remember that you are at least a quarter of a mile from the hotel, and you moanin secret at the task that yet remains before: youere you can quietly take to bed, send forthe English doctor, and compose your last will and testament. Such is the sirocco in Venice! It is really wonderful that these visitations are not marked by excessive outbreaks of crime in different parts of the city. But the Venetians are a mild natured people and bear their woes with a certain gentile heroism. One can hardly doubt that in England a sirocco would leave its print in the police courts on the day after it, and if the pest continued a little eens on e criminals would get severe sen- ences.

When it is first re- moved it is soft and easily cut into square blocks or any other desired shape, but when it is exposed to the air for some time it grows very hard and assumes some of the charac- teristics of fire brick. a —_ ——— A Decisive Blow for Freedom From the tyrannical yoke of those despotic allies, dyspepsia, constipation and liver com- pilaint, is struck when the quandom victim of their galling supremacy has taken a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.

An Interesting Handieap Event on tlie Card To-Day—Ths New York Giants in Town-—Buck’s Boys and the Browns To-Morrow—John L. and MtAtilifie~ General Sporting News. The Fair Grounds races have, tousea rac- ing term, struck their gait and are going along now at a rate and in a form satisfactory toall. The patrons of the track are begin- ning to feel more at home and a great deal of confidence has been festored by the two suc- céssful days of starting by Clem Creveling. For the first day or two the rélative merits of horses froim the East Side, horses from Mem- phis 4nd other hew ofies were not well estab- lished. Most ofthem have been given a spin or two over the big track and a better under- standing established. It is safe tosay that there was yesterday more bet@ing done than on the two days preceding and that to-day’s attendance and ~»play- ing will go ahead of yesterday’s, To-day the last event on the card, asixanda halt furlong handicap, brings to the post Ray 8., the Winner of the last race yesterday and astrong favorite, Pescador and Glockner, who ran inthe Inaugural, and Granite, Car- ter B. and Eli Kendig. In the auction pools last night Ray 8. and Pescador Were the fa- vorites. By Saturday favorites will be well established, and the race goers will have be- come pretty well acquainted with the horses, and some lively times can be looked forward to. In the first race yesterday, a five-furlong selling purse, the favorites, Myra and Speed- west, were beaten cut by Iris, a12to1 shot, ofthe Redmond Park Stable. This caused more or less ofa flurry, and upset many cal- culations. The favorites were faithfully played inthe next, however, a fouranda half furlong dash for 2-year olds. Mamie B., Pekinand Jack Mullins were played allup and downtheline. Mullins was expected to do something, but all he accomplished was to take the place behind the favorite, Mamie B., who had the race as she pleased from the get away. Ifthe third race the favorites were beaten out, and Judge Arkell of the Charter Oak Stables, heavily backed toward the end on a stable tip, carried in a big bundle of money at 8 to 1, Mike Watson, a Honig horse, and Buckhound were see-sawed on the books from 3tolto2 to 1. Watson, however, never finished. Jockey Britton tried to push her througha bunch at the three-quarters and caromed against several of the field, and Watson fell, throwing his jockey. ~The horse’s back is badly strained and may necessitate killing him. The jockey was shaken up severely, but not hurt. Buckhound tooka good place and Woodford finished third. The fourth race, a six furlong selling purse, went to Jim Murphy who scored the second easy victory for the Charter Oak stables. Content was well played at the same odds as Murphy, 2 tol, but did not get better than fifth og Jim Murphy won with Clio at n the place and Zeke Hardy thira. The fifth race, six furlongs, was conceded to Al Orth and Miss Pickwick, Ai Orth being the favorite. Miss Pickwick was ridden by **Boots’’ Bellairs, a son of Capt. Bellairs of the Fair Grounds. His horse was thrown out of her stride fora moment atthe head of the stretch and only got second place. Catalan at5and 6to 1 finished, an easy first with Little Phil third. The last race, a seven furlong handicap purse, was a favorites’ race. Ray S. at9to5 and Gov. Ross atthe same price taking first and second. The Deacon finishing third.

Whatever number the point strikes they back. Alexander Konta backs his own judgment successfully. Tom Ward, Speaker of the House of Dele- gates, had a winner three ways yesterday. KE. Sloan Tracy caughta short horse in the first race. Johnny Buttonhole Robinson has an im- ported field glass. Starter Creveling paid his way in on the opening day. Supt. Bill Johnson carried home a bale of tickets nobody wanted. Jesse Murphy is suspected of having some mighty good tips. Kd Fitzgerald looks well on the auction Gov. Col. James Duross has very uncertain luck, Kid Gleason, Cub Stricker and Jack Crooks advised by Caruthers, disposed of some o their extra coin. The Heman boys are often followed down the line. Ed Watson had a very knowing smile on his face yesterday. Jim Hardy stayed away yesterday because Zeke Hardy and May Hardy were both in one race and only one could win. Jim Townsend says nothing, but gets on the hind side ofthe book stalls after every race. AT NASHVILLE.

The New York Giants, under the leader- ship of Manager Powers and Buck Ewing, took possession of the Lindell Hotel to-day at about 10 o’clock, their train being somewhat late. They were given a hearty reception, however, and the old St. Louis boys fell right into the hands of their friends, who had been waiting for them fortwo hours. The team looks well and feels well, and al- ready Fuller, Boyle, King and Lyons are as- suming an Eastern style of dress, which isin strong contrast to the rough and ready cos- tume they used toaffect here, They are all + hnowever, for a tussle with their old club. Buck Ewing is looking fatter and healthier thanever. ‘*Yes,’’ saidhe, ‘‘I am now in better condition thanlever was. I have re- tired from catching altogether andam now devoting all my time tocovering first base and looking after the men onthe field. What do Ithink of the team? Well, as soon as we round up just keep your eye on us and see what the result will be. So far we have been followed everywhere by bad weather. It has been the same old story since we left home, and from the looks of the sky,’’ said Buck, as he stepped out and glanced upward, ‘’it seems we will get another dose of it here. **However,’’ said be, *‘it cannot continue s0 forever, which is some consolation at least.’’ Shorty Fuller, sunburned and sport- ing a heavy black mustache, was making for the dining-room when caught and button- holed: ‘‘tiello,’’ was his response to the greetings. ‘‘l am glad to see you; weare here at last. We left Cincinnati last night and have been traveling continuously since. All the boys are sore and tired out, but we hope to win this sfternoon. ‘*New York isa grand town andthe Giants are a great clubto play with.’’ Shorty also told the same bad luck story as Ewing about the club being in poor condition for the want of suitable practice. Manager Pat Powers materialized about this time and started out right away telling of the club’s tough luck. ‘*Ithas been rain everywhere,’’ said Pat, ‘‘and we hoped at least to escape it out here, but on the contrary it looks as if we will get it harder at this point than anywhere.’’ ‘*The boys are all in need of practice, which accounts for the poor showing we have made uptodate. While over at Cincinnatil saw John Ewing anc he is mending rapidly. Should he continue to do so we will have him with us ina few weeks and then we will start in after the pennant. The old St. Louls coterie have more thah realized my expecta- tions. Jack Boyle is doing good work behind the vat, Charley King is pitching as of yore, Shorty Fuller is playing the best gaine ofany playerin the club at present, and as for Denny Lyons he has not struck his gait yet, asit is, he is playing a stronger fielding game than I oemes he would; should he continue to do so and not ashe used to do, we will have one of the best third basemen inthe League. Hardie Rich- ardson is with us and will cover second in to-day’s game. Should he play the game he did two years ago we will continue him in that position permanently, but it is not a settled question as yet whether he will replace Charley Bassett or not. Richardson is a valuable player and we signed him be- cause players of his caliberare not always on the market. He is an all-round man, and can, if necessary, play anywhere. Rusie, our crack pitcher, has been suffering with a sore arm, but is rounding up rapidly and may go in to-morrow.’’ YESTERDAY’S GAMES. Notwithstanding John Ward’s talk tothe contrary Brooklyn played two games with the Pittsburg Pirates at the Smoky City. Ward lost the first game forhis club by his poor work in the fleld. Hart pitched a mag- nificent game, and but for Ward’s errors Brooklyn would have won. Galvin started in to pitch for the Pirates in the second game, but Brooklyn’s sluggers soon solved his delivery and he was giad to retire in Camp’s favor at the end of the fourth inning. Inks, who pitched for the Bride- grooms in the second game, was wonderfully effective. Nota hit was scored off his deiiv- ery until the eighth inning, when Miller reg- istered a lonesome single. At Chicago, Boston shut out Anson’s Colts. Staley, who pitched forthe Beaneaters, was too much for the Colts, who were unable to connect when hits would have counted. Hutchinson, who was in the box for Ohnicago was not batted hard, only six being made o his delivery. At Louisville Fred Pfeffer’s Colonels shut out Bal- timore in a well-played centest. Scott Stratton twirled for the Colonels and the Orioles made but four hits off, him. Butfinton also pitched excellently, with the exception of the atth inning, whon the Louisville batsmen scored five hits sum- ee ee games are as vaews) - —* urg— tts ur . ; roo + ve se hits—Pittsburg, 6; Brookiyn, y, Errote—Pittsburg 3; Brooklyn, 4.

A New York dispatch says that the question of playiiig Sunday ballis Again agitating the National League clubs. At present the dis- atch says six clubs are playing on the Sab- ath, namely, Cleveland, St. Louis, Oincin- nati, Washin Louisville and Baltimore. likely to fall in would leave but c gainst the system. New York, ad og ana hiladelphia are however, strongly Opposed to the idea and will hever consent. Brooklyn, itis thought, will swing in line before long. Charley Farrell had an off aay esterday. Inthefirst game he camé near osing the contest for the Pirates. As it Was, his poor work allowed Brooklyn to score in the ninth inning, and come within one oftying the score. Charley Bennettis not with the Boston Clubonthe present trip. Manager Seles says: ‘‘I never carry more than two catchers ona Western trip.’’ Hardie Richardson will make his first ap- pearance in a New York uniform to-day, e will succeed Charley Bassett at second base. Bob Caruthers may conclude to try con- clusions against the Glants to-morrow. President Von der Ahe has arranged to have Pat Tebeau and his Cleveland Spiders play here next Sunday. The club will travel from Baltimore, where they play Saturday, to this point on a special train. Charley Buffinton~ pitehed an excellent game for the Orioles yesterday. If the Balti- more club could only have solved Stratton’s delivery and registered a few runs the Orioles might have won the game. Dick Buckley’s badly damaged finger is healing up fast. He will probaly go in against New York to-day. Washington will soon unload a pitcher or two. They have six on the List. John Ward’s Brooklyns will be here for wo games, Friday and Saturday. The ee are playing remarkably well to- gether. at Pittsburg THE RING.

Sullivan and Jack McAuliffe, who will fight during the same week at New Orleans, one with Corbett and the other with Myers, the Streator Cyclone, have made ‘arrangements to traif together ona farm in Maryland. McAuliffe and Sfullivan are both saying nice things about each other, but there is some doubtas to thetraining place. It has been a subject of discussion ever since New Orleans became the main fighting grounds of the country whether it was better to train in the South and become acclimated orto train inthe Northand onty go Southat the last moment. It is pretty cool weather in ain te land in September and pretty warm still in New Urleans, so that the change would be very decided and might have an important effect upon the results. Both men are confident of winning,although here Myers is the favorite in the fight. THE WHEEL.

Perhaps the very worst influence of the idlers, however, 18 to be found in the effect of the spectacle of their lives on what is called **the labor problem.’’ ‘‘The labor proviem’’ is really the problem of making the manual laborers of the World contented with their lot. In my judgment this is 40 Mmsolubdle. No discoveries or inventions will ever solve it long as tion continues to press close on spe dvalia le products of human in- mpg & 6 causes of the dissatisfaction of the masses with their condition change rom age the dissatisfaction tinue, and the blame will be alway those who have @ larger share of the world’s goods than others. ut there is no question that the existing discontent is,and not unrea- sonably ageravated by the spéctacle ofthe en- joyment y_ the growing idle class of the nefits of the social and politica | organiga- tions, without any contribution worth men- tion to the trouble and cost of maintaining these organizations. The taxes paid by the annuitant or rentierclassare buta trifling return in reality for the security they possess for person and property. The workers of tlie world proviile them with polite, with courts justice, and means of travel—in short, ev agency which makes their enjoyment possible, for sums in cash which they would hardly pay to a club. Reason- ably or unreasonably, the masses resent tnis more and more. It gives mere envy an aif of respectability and rationality. They say that even ifa good defence may be made for inequality of conditions based on in- equality of capacity and services, there ought not in truly democrati¢c communities be any people who render no service at all and who allow others. to till and spin and weave and police and fight and teach and in- vent and discover, plough the seas and di the mines for them, while they look on an draw their quarterly dividends and spend them in childishness; that we shall never have social peace till every man has &@ fair share of the social burdens. BANK NOTE CIRCULATION. A Suggestion as to How It May Be Placed on a Firm Basis. D. R. Wilkie in the Foram. Let mein conclusion make the following suggestions, which, though not bearing on the Canadian bank system, would, if adopted, confer upon the United States the greatest measure of permanent financial relief and be a satisfactory solution of the currency ques- tion, which must be faced soon, and the sooner the better. Let the bank-note circu- lation of the United States be limited to the paid-up capital of the banks, and in case of insolvency bear interest at 5 per cent per annum until date of redemption ana in the meantime be a first charge upon the assets of the bank and upon thé double lia- bility of shareholders, and be further secured: (a) By a bank-note circulation fund deposited with the Goverfiment at, say 5 per cent in gold of the total Issue, to be con- tributed by each bank in proportion to its authorized issue, and held to redeem romptly the notes of any insolvent bank, he fund to be replenished as occasion re- quires by calls upon the contributing banks in proportion to their average circulation; (b) by the deposit with the Treasury, of Gov- ernment, State, municipal, railroad, or other marketable securities to the tent of 95 per cent of the authorized issues, said securities and their value as security to be approved of by the treasury and by a board representing the contributing banks; (c) all notes to be issued tothe Danks from the Treasury and to be countersigned by an officer thereof. Under such asystem the bank-note circulation of the United States should meet all the require- ments of the people. Its soundness would be unimpeachable, it would contain sufficient elasticity to provide currency at all seasons of the year at a minimum cost to the bor- rower, it would Kill the agitation for the free coinage of silver,and would givea national bank note a world-wide circulation. MUSIC IN AMERICA. Seidl Suggests the Need for an Amorican Operatic School Anton Seidl, in the Forum. What we need is American opera given under American influences. This can be biought about only by an elaborate and well organized system of musical educa- tion. We have plenty of good material for the making of musicians, but this material is buried beneath the army of foreign artists who come annually to our shores, and whom Americans have formed the habit of encour- aging—often simply because they are foreign- ers. In order to bring out this latent mate- rial a school for opera shouid be estab- lished here. If conducted on the best princt- ples, it would be of inestimable advantage. it would keep at home those young musicians who annually go abroad to study, sometimes under the greatest disadvantages, and it would encourage those to undertake a music- al education who are deterred from it by the expense which they would incur by European training. The school should not only train singers, but also young men who, are am- bitious to become orchestra-players and orchestra-leaders. There should be in con- nection with it a theater in which operas might be produced. The institution would thus be a practical school for opera. The first year after its establishment should be spent in fundamental train- ing. Private performances of opera might be given, but no public ones until the artists had been thoroughly trained. As soon as this was accomplished, three or four operas might be publiciy produced each year. Na- tive singers would thus have the advantage of being heard under the most favorable con- ditions, ana native instrumentalists would display their talents in tne orchestra. We need, especially, a better training in this country for orchestra-leaders. American composers, too, would be greatly helped, for the school should endeavor to encourage them, not by ignoring works written by for- éigners, but by giving preference to operas written by Americans. If it were possibile to raise a guarantee fund for such an establish- ment, splendid results might be obtained in a Very snort time. THE PEWED CHURCH, Potter Criticises the American System of Rsonting Pews. Bishop Potter in the Forum. The history of religious worship and of religious bulldings in America is, in this aspect of It, as exceptional as itis inconsist- ent. I presume it would be safe to say that there is no other land in Christendom where so many places of religious worship bear wit- ness to the inflexible supremacy of the spirit ofcaste. For what isthe spirit of caste if it be not the spirit that in these conditions and relationships which, seeming to exclude dis- tinctions implying superiority or inferiority of persons, insists upon affirming them? And isthere any other institution which, in the face of the plain teachings of the religion of Jesus Christ—as where inthe Epistie of St. James it said: oe Pi ee ~~ bave not our rd Jesus Christ, glory, with respect of persons. if there come un your assembly € man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and theré comes in alsoa poor man in Vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that weareth the ap Baym and say unto "es Sit thou here a re] Bishop rom wi- any other f the plain ings its Founder, departs so radically and habitually from that teachin as thus given as does the modern church? r.

Sore throat is the cause of more than half the trouble that comes from contagious diseases. The germs of these maladies such as scarlet fever, diphtheria, mumps, measles, smalls pox and the like float in the air. They can be taken into the human system without danger, if they do not find an abraded surface. If they do, they enter the blood and swarm in millions. Itis well known that diphtheria can be taken froma wound on the skin on the body. It is par- ticularly noticeable that when such a malady as diphtheria rages it always attacks people after they have caught a slight cold. When you take cold, therefore, and your throat is sore get a bottle of REID’S GERMAN COUGH & KIDNEY CURE at once and take it freely. If your druggist will not order it for you write to us. Small bottles 25 cents, large ones 50 cents.
