LOUIS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1892.—TWELVE PAGES. . PRICR, FIVE CENTS. , BY CARRIER, FIFTEEN CENTS PER WEEK, RESIGNED IN A BODY Italy’s Cabinet Officers Return Their Portfolios. RUDINI’S FINANCIAL POLICY PRECIPI- : TATES THE CRISIS. Vote of Confidente Defeated in the Cham- ber of Deputies—Humbert Declines to Accept the Withdrawals—Americans Presented to the Queen—General For- eign News—Brief Mention. RoME, May 6.—The Marquis di Rudini, the Prime Minister, to-day tendered to King Humbert the resignations of all the members of the Cabinet, due to the refusal yesterday of the Chamber of Deputies to adopt a vote of confidence in the Government’s financial policy, which included a heavy reduction in the credits to be deyoted to military and naval expenditures. It is well known that the finances of Italy are in a very bad way, andin some quarters this condition of affairs is attributed solely to the expenses incurred in maintaining Italy’s place in the triple alliance. But this is not alone the reason. There is another form of extravagance that is not peculiar to Italy alone. This is the irrational number of employes in all the departments of the Government, Italians have a passion for public employment, and a_e vast number of clerks, etc., might be dispensed with and much money saved that is now paid in salaries. Sig. Crispi was the first Prime Minister who resolutely set about reducing the number of employes in ‘the public service, and he was really set on the project for the reduction of administra- tive expenses by this means. This fact was too patent to the Rudini ministry for it to risk a step in this direction, and the result is that the place-holders are still drawing large sums annually from the public treasury. In the opinion of many people the economies in the army and navy arethe last that shouid be made. The expenditure on the army is, paradoxical as it may seem, the most profit- able the nation makes. The army is the school of the manhood of Italy, and the surest and quickest means of the unification still in- complete, as the best cure for many ancient evils still lingering in the body politic. King Humbert has not yet accepted the res- ignation of the Ministry, and he is undecided what course to take in the matter. The Paris newspapers here hai) the Italian crisis with great satisfaction, holding that It will be. a check to the Triple Alliance. The Figaro says that King Humbertisina dilem- ma; that he must either disarm his army or gee his country bankrupt. The Gaulois claims that the Italian situation is a triumph for the Vatican. BRITISH TOPICS. AMERICANS AT THE QUEEN’S DRAWING- ROOM— GOSSIP. Lonpoxn, May §.—Queen Victoria held a drawing-room in Buckingham Palace to-day. The following American gentlemen were pre- sented to Her Majesty: William Wayne Bel- vin of San Francisco, Henry Phipps, Jr., of Pittsburg; Lars Anderson, Second Secretary of the American Legation, and Maj. W. F. Tucker of the Pay Department of the United States Army. At a meeting of the city men, held atthe Mansion House, a resolution was adcpted calling upon the Government to take imme- diate steps to promote the holding of an in- ternational currency conference. Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour have con- sented to receive a deputation whose mission it is to promote the eight-hour movement. The Fabian Society has been sending postal cards to politicians throughout the country, asking them three questions: First—W hether or not they are in favor of the payment of all members of the House of Commons. | Second—Whether or not they are in favor of the eight-hour miners’ bill, and Third—W hether or not they arein favor of legislative restriction of excessive working hours in arduous and unhealthy employ- ment. Mr. Gladstone has replied with a simple **No.”’ Mowbray, the tailor, and Nicholl, the journalist, indicted for inciting to murder of Home Secretary Matthews and Justice Haw- kins, were to-day tried, and Nicholl was con- victed and sentenced to eighteen month,’ imprisonment at hard labor, Mowbray was acquitted. The offences complained of con- sisted in the publication of articles inthe Anarchist newspaper, gthe Common Weal. THE WAR IN DAHOMEY. FRANCE CONCENTRATING A FORCE TO MARCH ON BEHANZIN’S CAPITAL. PaRIs, May 6.—Advices in regara tothe warfare which is being carried on between King Behanzin of Dahomey in the sight of Benin settlements andthe French authorities atthe place have been received here from Lagos, a British colony of West Africa, on the Blave coast. From these dispatches it is learned that the French expedition in Da- ‘homey is concentrating at Kotonou, near which place the Dahomeyan warriors re- cently built intrenchments and which was threatened with an attack by the native fighters. Reinforcements have been arriving atthe garrison at Kotonou lately and the French force now there is estimatedto be 8,000 strong. This force is greatly strength- ened bya gunboat, which arrived there a couple of weeks ago. The expedition will start on the 30th inst., to commence active operations against King Behanzin and.endeavor to bring him to terms. The French Government is beginning to ealize that ithasa warofno small magni- ude on its hands. France will have to enter upon a serious campaign and subdue the country if she wishes to hold her possessions. To accomplish this she will have to send large reinforcements, for Behanzin’s army is by no means one to be despised. The Ama- gons, especially, are saidto be armed with excellent rifies,which the French assert have been supplied to them by German traders. To conquer Ashantee the English Govern- ment hadto send an expedition that cost over $4,000,000. The cost to France, if she at- tempts tne subjugation of King Behanzin, will equal, if not surpass, that amount. The first effort of the military expedition will be to seize Whydah, which is the only important post in possession of Behanzin. The cause of the present trouble in a nutshell is that, in spite of his protestations of friend- ' ghip made as late as March 2 last, King Behanzin has been raiding for slaves among the border towns of Porto Novo,a region near the sea which is under French protection. He destroyed five large towns and many villages in that district and has hunted slaves within thirty miles of Kotonou. Ho wanted these siaves partly for his annual gacrifices, when he butchers alarge number ers, and partly tosell, The French ee ‘ rae of the pension which was voted to imafter the war of 1890 to induce him to | keep the peace. first To capture his capital the step will be the seizure of Whydah, for route to the capital, Abomey, is from 4 ‘= is separated from the sea first by a long, nar- row sandbank and then by a shallow lagoon that can be crossed only in small boats. Abomey is about eighty miles inland, FRENCH DEFEAT IN SENEGAL. Lonpon, May 6.—A dispatch from Sierra Leone says: ‘‘A messenger from the interior reports that King Samadou, as a piece of strategy, allowed the French to capture three native towns, and afterward recap- tured two of them, the French losing heavily in the engagement. The messenger says he saw eighty-one French prisoners and Senegal natives and the heads of four French officers in King Samadou’s camp. Samadou com- mands 2,000 warriors, armed with chasse- pots. The King’s soldiers are accustomed to the country in which the French find it difl- cult to travel and to procure supplies.’’ PRIMROSE LEAGUE. MEETING OF ARISTOCRATS AT WHICH LORD SALISBURY PRESIDED. London, May 6.—Lord Salisbury presided ata meeting of the grand habitation of the Primrose League, held at the Covent Garden Theater to-day. The theater was beautifully decorated and was crowded with aristocrats. Lord Salisbury delivered an address in which he declared thata great political struggle was impending. ‘*We have,’’ he said, ‘‘to deal with a pro- posal for a great organic change. The con- flicts of classes are shutting out from men’s eyes the great issue—the integrity of the Em- pire.’’ Lora Salisbury also-said that the opinion of the Loyalists in Ireland had not changed. The conditions with which they had to struggle appeared clearer every day. He had been accused of attacking the Catholic rell- gion, but nothing was further from his thoughts. What Ulster had to dread was being submitted to the despotism of her foes. While Parliament had the right to govern Ulster, it had no right to sell the Province into slavery. Any attempt to use the English military to subject Ulster to rchbishop Walsh would rend society intwo. Home rule was not a message of peace, but of civil and religious war. His Lordship concluded by declaring that unless the Conservative and Liberal unions prevent that hideous picture from becoming a reality they would producea result which would not secure home rule, but a state of things that would destroy the credit and en- feeble the power of England in every quarter ofthe world. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. BELGIAN OFFICIALS ON TRACK OF AN ANARCHIST LEADER—BRIEFS. BRUSSELS, May 6.—The Liege police are seeking an ex-officer in the army named Moineau, who was the head of a band of Anarchists that met secretly every Sunday for the purpose of instructing recruits in the use of dynamite. The persons arrested in connection with the recent outrages in Liege were active members of the gang. The Brussels police estimate that there are 220 known Anarchists in Beigium. The police of Paris have notified the St. Petersburg police of the departure from France of a party of Nihilists, who are plot- ting against the Czar. Paul Hamonod, a printer, who was terribly injured in the explosion at M. Very’s restaur- ant in the Boulevard Magenta, Paris, on the pight of April 2, died at the hospital to- day. WANT RECIPROCITY. OTTAWA, Ontario, May 6.—Speaking of the condition of business in New Brunswick, Senator Snowball, one of the principal lum- ber manufacturers and exporters and rail- way managers of that province, said that matters were in anything buta satisfactory state. The McKinley tariff has crippled the siness of exporting fresh fish, as dealers mre now obliged to pay freight charges and in advance upon consignments of fresh fish shipped from points, in New £Brunswick for the Boston and New York markets, and if the consignment happens to spoil the exporter loses the first cost, freight, duty and all. Many business men who were considered in excellent circumstances a year ago had been obliged to assign, while. others were hard pressed. The wantof reciprocity with the United States is being keenly felt by all classes in New Brunswick. PAHANG REBELS. Lonpon, May 6.—Aspecial from Singapore saysthatthe Pahang rebels are becoming bolder in their operations. Several Chinese have been killed by the Malay rebels and a Sikh escort has been attacked bythem. The coolies are deserting the mines, fearing thnt the rebels would killthem. Public opinion, the dispatch adds, js strong against Sir Cecil Smith, Governor of the Straits settlements, for not sending troops to put down the up- rising. MRS. MONTAGUE’S CASE. DUBLIN, May 6.—The medical board ap- pointed in the case of Mrs. Montague, under- going a sentence of one year at hard labor for manslaughter of her 3-year-old child, has re- ported that it is not necessary for the health of Mrs. Montague to release her from prison. It is now certain that she will serve her full term inthe Derry Jail. The fact that she is about to become a mother has been advanced as a reason for keeping her in jail instead of releasing her, in view of her treatment of her other children, as it will be best to have her under supervision, BRUSSELS ALARMED. BRUSSELS, May 6.—An explosion occurred to-day at Alleur, a village a short distance from Liege, but fortunately. beyond the shat- tering of windows, no damage was done. Some one placed two cartridges on a window sill of the house of the Burgomelister of Al- leur, but only one of them exploded. The affair caused great excitement in the village. A German Anarchist has been arrested charged with having caused the explosion, BRIEF CABLEGRAMS, The Russian commission which has the matter under consideration recommends the exportation of maize from the southern ports Russia. yin day is the tenth anniversary of the birth ofthe Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD IN HIs INTEREST AT FRANKFORT. Hels Not Seeking Office, But Will Abide by the Choice—Maryland’s Young Democracy for Tariff Reform—Presi- dent Harrison Will Not Depend on Southern Support for Election. FRANKFORT, Ky., May 6.—Senator John G, Carlisle’s presidential claims were presented to the Democracy of this State by a caucus of his friends held here yesterday. The meeting was a representative gathering of Kentucky politicians, and was presided over by State Senator McCarn, one of Mr, Car- Resolutions, setting forth that in the present condition of national politics it was the deliberate sense of the meeting that the Democratic party stood in need of a leader and commending John Griffin Carlisle to the Democracy of Ken- tucky and of the United States as eminently fitted to win the contest for the presidency before the National Democratic Convention and lead the party to victory in November, were adopted. Itis regarded as practically settiead that the State delegation will goto Chicago instructed for Carlisle. In an interview with Hon. John G, Oarlisle, whoisin Washington, he is quoted as say- ing: ‘‘I certainly am not a candidate for President in the sense of seeking the nomi- nation. If Kentucky decides to present my name to the convention in view of existing conditions, that is her matter.’’ TARIFF. REFORM, MARYLAND’S YOUNG DEMOCRACY NOT TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD. BALTIMORE, Md., May 6.—The young Dem- ocracy of Maryland hada large meeting last nightin Ford’s Grand Opera-house, under the auspices of the Cleveland Tariff Reform Club. Resolutions were adopted demanding that no delegate be chosen to the National Convention who shall not have given unde- niable pledge that he favors tariff reform and the nomination of Grover Cleveland. Ke- garding these points—tariff reform, honest money and Mr. Cleveland’s nomination—the resolution says: ‘*We protest in advance against all at- tempts at compromise equivocations or straddles in regard tothese great issues as time serving, cowardly and dishonoring to the Democratic party, asin the interests of the tariff oppressors and the silver kings and mine owners, and hostile to the true interests of the people, and whether intended or not, are calculated to place the Democratic party in a false pesition, and bring about its defeat for the benefit of those two classes of per- sons.’’ Any fixing of delegates prior tothe State Convention is denounced as ‘‘unrepublican, anti-American and despotic,’’ and hot pro- test Is made against any premature slates, SOUTHERN SUPPORT. HARRISON WILL NOT ACCEPT A NOMINATION DEPENDENT ON IT. NEw YorkK, May 6.—A Washington cor- respondent telegraphs this paper affirming that the President has announced at a Cab- inet meeting that ifthe nomination depends upon the Southern votes he will not accept it. Mr. Harrison, recognizes the fact that not one of the Southern States will elect Republican mem- bers of the electoral collegeif he heads the ticket, and he does not wish to owe his nom- ination to those Darren delegations. The statement that Mr. Harrison has made such a deciaration was made public on Tuesday evening by one of of the members of the cabli- net, while in conversation with a prominent New York gentleman, who is ona visit to the capltol.

Fire Destroys a Large Slaughtér-House in New York. NEw YORK, May 6.—At 2 o’tlock this morn- ing fire was discovered in the immense slaughter-house of Swartzchild & Sulzber- ger, wholesale butchers at Forty-fifth street and East River. The fire duringits progress reached the lard tanks, whenma terrific ex- plosion occurred, quickly followed by four others, which shook the adjoining buildings almost to their center. By 3:30 o’clock the fire cO@vered “&" space of 200 by 300 feet, and at that hour it was esti- mated that already $250,000 worth of property had been destroyed. There was a strike of the slaughter-house hands earlyin the evening, and the firm fearing that there might be some trouble, applied to the police authorities, who in re- sponse sent the reserves of the East Fifty- first street to protéct their works. The strikers, who were mostly Hebrews, and numbered about twenty-five, ‘made no demonstration against the other men, how- ever. They quit work, they said, because they were refused regular hours and one day of every week. They had been compelled to work from twelveto fifteen hours a day, for which they were paid $11 per week. ‘The be- lief is general that the fire was the work of incendiaries. On Thursday night527 head of cattle were brought to the slaughter house. They were valued at $100 per head. The smoke worked its way into the pens where the animals were. Their bellowing could be heard blocks away. They were finally driven intoa vacant lot near by. The flames raged flercest in the canning department Duilding, where were stored about $100,000 worth ofcans of beef, besides large quantities of balogna. In the cellar be- neath, as well as under the buildinus down to the river, were stored 4,000 hogsheads of stearine, allof which was destroyed. Supt. Madden, in speaking of the loss, said: *‘*[ think without any doubt the loss will foot up nearly $1,000,000. The material which was stored in the cellar was very valuable. It was insured.’’ The concern employs about 450 men, women — children, about 100 of whom work at night. Later investigation shows tbat losses by the fire willnot be nearly so great as was esti- mated. A careful estimate reduces the fig- ures to from $200,000 ta $250,000. Mr. Sulzberger aiso expressed the opinion that he did not believe the fire was started by any of the men who went out on strike yesterday. Police Captain Reilly, after an investigation, says there is every reason to believe the fire was of accidental origin and thatit started in the fat house. ELEVATOR DESTROYED, TRENTON, Ontario, May 6.—A fire has broken out in Kyle & Meade’s elevator and dock. The flames spread rapidly. Among the stores in the burned block were those of R. M, Mowat, hardware, and Great Northwestern Tele- graph office. In the midst of the fire a terri- ble explosion, which was supposed to have been cause by dynamite, occurred in Mowatt’s hardware store. The shock was so gress that most of the plate-glass windows nthe town, and all the windows near the fire were broken. The loss is estimated at between $30,000 and $40,000. Nearly all of the burned property was insured. A number of persons were injured by flying debris. INCENDIARY FIRE IN A CHURCH. FRANKLIN, Pa., May 6.—Tuesday night an attempt was made to burn the M. EK. Church at Clintonville, about twelve miles south of this place. There has been a split in the con- gregation since last spring, one party being in favor of a new Church, and the other faction opposed to it, and it is the belief that some one connected with the dividing fac- tions set fire to the building by tearing away the weather boarding and stuffing hay satu- rated with oil inside, The heavy rain of Tuesday put the fire out, thus saving the building. Great excitement exists in the neighborhood, RAILWAY TERMINUS. LONDON, May 6.—The Southeastern Rail. way terminus at Dover was burned to the ground last night. The soldiers of the Dover Garrison assisted the firemen in preventing the spread of the fames. The Post-office and the Lord Warden Hotel adjoining the railway station narrowly escaped destruction. Rail- way trafficis suspended on account of the fire. The fire ig still burning, being fanned by a steady wind. Salt Rates Reduced. SaGInaw, Mich., May 6.—The Michigan Salt Co. has reduced the price of salt 10 cents a barrel at all Westerm agencies, including Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis, This cut is to meet New York and Ohio competition. The pre iy : ce at Chicago to 70 cents, w with a 20-cent freight rate from Saginaw Valley, Will make the product not less than 60 cents to manufacturers. Cotton Factory Failure.

LONDON, May 6.—To-day another English railway outrage is reported, and taken in connection with the Greville-Nugent case and the other cases that have been reported of late, the opinion grows in strength that the English railway companies will have to adopt better means than those at present employed to protect women from assaults in railway cars. Thelast victim of the compartment systemisa dressmaker named Amy Faulk- ner, and from present indications her assail- ant, if arrested will have to answera charge of murder. Some men walking along the railway near Leeds found a woman lying near the rails. Her clothing was disarrapged and she was terribly injured. She was just able to state that she had been assaulted in the compart- ment of a railway carriage and that after her assailant had outraged her he had thrown her headlong from the carriage. The train was runningat full speedand her injuries were sustained by her being thrown from the train. The police are looking for her assailant, butthere is little hope of his being caught. This morning the woman was barely conscious and herdying statement was taken. Public indignation is aroused and the end will be that the form of the English compartment coach will be so altered as to allow free ac- cess to guards and passengers to any part of a railway coach. The British penchant for exclusivenessis all that has retained the present style, and the outrages that have been made possible by them are the strongest plea for their abolishment. This last case is so flagrant that Government officials have taken the matterin hand. S0 common has this type of crime become that the apart- ment coach is now generally Known as the **Gordon,’’ reference being made to the first of a long series of outrages, As this dispatch closes the sufferer is barely alive, but cannot survive. ANDERSON ON TRIAL, THE BIGAMOUS DANE TANGLED UP IN TIMONY. CLEVELAND, O., May 6.—The main evidence against John Anderson, the big, good-looking Dane, who is supposed to have. married about twenty women, was submitted yester- day. Mrs. Ellen Purcell of St. Louls, his latest bride, continued her testimony, de- scribing how Anderson brought her to this city, stole a note and cash, amounting to $1,200, from an inner pocket of one of her under garments and fled for the East. The big Dane was put on the stand in his own defense. He proved himself to be anything but a simpleton and though his story was in- teresting and plausible, the prosecutor suc- ceeded in tangling him up on the cross- examination. Headmitted his marriage to Mrs. Purcell, but refused to answer ques- tions concerning the Elmira marriage. He claimed that Mrs. Purcell bulldozea him into marriage by putting a policeman on his track, and that she insisted upon his taking all her money and keeping it for his own use, His reason for deserting her was that she was so old and so over affectionate that he became disgusted and resolved to take a vacation from his honeymoon, HIS TES- POISONED. ——— TWO GIRLS GIVEN ARSENIC BY A MALE COM- PANION. Lonpon, May 6.—On the 12th of April a re- port was circulated in South London that two young girls had been poisoned at a house in Stamford street, Waterloo road, Lambeth. The police were communicated with and a police constable went to the house, where he found a young girl, Alice Marsh, aged 21 years, lying in the passage in her night dress. She was apparently inadying state, suffer- ing from the effects of poison. In another part of the hoase the police discovered an- other young girl fully dressed, named Emma Schrivell. She also appeared to have been oisoned, The girls were taken to St. ‘homas’ Hospital, but the Marsh girl died on the way ina cab. The other girl dief in great agony after be. ing admitted to the hospital. At the Coroner’s inquest held the next day, the police con- stable who had found the girls testified that Emma Schrivell had told him on the way to the hospitalthat she and Alice Marsh had met aman knowntothem as ‘‘Fred,’’ and that he had given them some globules which they swallowed. An analysis was made of the contents of the stomach and atthe Coro- ner’s inquest to-day evidence was submitted showing strychnine in large quantities had been administered, but by whom and what the motive wasisa mystery. The police are using their utmost endeavors to find the man Eb ’’? but as yet they have found no trace Oo m. CHILD MURDER. AN ENGLISH WOMAN ARRESTED FOR KILLING HER OFFSPRING. LONDON, May 6.—Mrs, Clark, wife of acar man, was arrigned to-day for causing the death of her 9-year-old step-daughter by cruel treatment. The evidence showed that the little girl had often been tied to the banisters and kept there seven hours at a time. She was often beaten with a strap or heavy stick and sometimes her tongue was tied with a string and she was left for hours in torture, The Coroner’s inquest developed the fact that the girl’s body wasamass of bruises and sores and that she had not had sufficient food. Clark was censured by the Magistrate for permit- ting the cruelties and the step-mother was held for trial on the charge of manslaughter. The newspapers comment on the case as resembling that of Mrs. Montagu. EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGED. Cu1caco, Ill., May 6.—Henry M.

They Died on the Seme Gibbet— Both Made Confessions Before Sentence Was® Carried Out—Slaughter Shot Down Bis Mistress—Bailey Murdered and Robbed a Map Peddler. LITTLE Rock, Ark., May 6.—L. D. Slaugh ter and Tom Baily, two negroes, were han ged in the County Jail here to-day, being the first execution in this county since 1885, Both men were executed on the same scaf- fold at the same time,the drop falling at 12:06, The men met death bravely,- both confess- ing their crimes on the scaffold. Their necks were broken by the fall. ; The crime for which Slaughter paid the death penalty to-day was the murder of his mistress, Jennie Love, committed in this city on Aug. 1, 1891. On the ' of the killing Slaughter quarrelied with the woman about some money matters, leaving her with the threat: that he would kill her. Returning at noon armed with a Winchester rifie and revolver, Slaughter renewed the quarrel. The woman, becoming alarmed, rushed into the street, Slaughter pursued her and shot her down in her tracks. He then coolly went to where she lay, took her hand and said, “Jen, if you are not dead, say so, and I'll finish you.’’ The jury at his trial returned a ver- cict of guilty of murder in the first degree after being out only twenty minutes. Bally’s crime was the most brutal and cold. blooded known in criminal history in this section of the State. On the evening of Dec. 22 last, J. F. Hick- man, a peddler ot Jacksonville, lil, arrived at McAlmont Station, this county. He went to a cabin occupied by Tom Balley and inquired for the home of Mrs. Seemons, a lady of that neighborhood, to whom he had sold three maps while in Little Rock. stated that he would show the stranger to the resi- dence of Mrs. Seemons and, accordingly, the two men started in search of the honse. Ar- riving ata lonely place in the woods, near Hill’s Lake, Bailey pulled from his coat pocket a heavy struck Hickman over the head, knockin senseless. Not satisfied withthe work ready done he stooped over the almost life- less body of his victim, and seeing that he was still alive, cut his throat from ear to ear, This accomplishec, the\demon went throu the dead man’s pockets and robbed him ofa id watch and chain and $17, Healso stole he boots the man woreand put them upon’ his own feet. Two days afterwaras he re- turned to the scene of the murder and dragged the body to the lake, where he tied the remains to a cypress tree, the head alone being exposed to view. was discovered Three ht gp later the a. : negro map. man . ger fn that section, and the hier in such a dreadful state otd , he was buried without beingidentified. The au- thorities of Young a reported the affair to Sheriff Mills. Parties residing in Jacksonville, lll., from the description pub- lished at the time identified the dead man as J. F. Hickman. Relatives of the peddler ar- rived here a few days later, and fully identi- fled the remains. They were forwarded to Jacksonville and buried. The property stolen from Hickman was traced to Bailey, and he was captured inthe Indian Territory. Pros- ecuting Attorney Pemberton had worked up a clear case against the negro. Balley con- fessed that he killed Hickman, but claimed that it was In self-defense. SUICIDES. A German Banker Prefers Death to Im- prisonment. BERLIN, May 6.—A great sensation has been caused to-day by the discevury that Herr Hammerstein, the Chief of the well-known banking-house of Hammerstein & Frieds lander, had committed suicide. Herr Ham- merstein retired last night, apparen in . his usual frame of mind. iris eee he was found dead. A pistol with a cham discharged indicated that he had shot him- self. So far as revealed he had left no state- ment as to the motive of suicide. It is known, however, that for some time the . ing-house of Hammerstein & edlander had been threatened with disaster. It is also known that some of its transactions with the money of clients would form a basis for an accusation of fraud, should bankruptcy supervene, and that would mean a long time in prison for Herr Hammerstein. The banker evidently chose death in preference. — A RELATIVE OF ROBERT E. LEE. FisHer, Ark., May 6.—F. C. Lee, proprietor of Hotel Lee at Jonesboro, Ark., was found dead in his room this morning at that place with. a bullet hole through his head. Mr. Lee is about 75 years of age and a distant relative of Gen. RK. EB. Lee. he death is thought to be suicide caused by excessive drink, produc- ing temporary insanity. : NO CAUSE KNOWN.

CORONER'S VERDICTS DISREGARDED. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Estep Not Governed by Jury Findings. - Required—A Novel Sight Promised St. _ Lopisans. WasuiNcTon, D.. C., May 6.—Secretary ‘Tracy said this morning to the Post-Dis- PATCH correspondent that he probably would noj be able to decide for a week yet as to wiiéther he would allow the Concord to ® comie up to 8t. Louis trom Memphis. **It is rather a risky :_experiment’’ said Secretary Tracy,.‘‘as the Concord draws sixteen, feet “of Water.’’ There might be sufficient water now, but in another week or so the fiver might recede so much that we cannot get the Concord down again. However, tf there is ny possible chance I intended to send the Concord to St. Louis. ‘The people there’ mlong the river have a right to see something ofour navy, for they bear the expense just ar much as the people of any other part of the country. I wish I could send every vessel in the navy upto &t. Louis at different times. The investigation by naval officers, whol have detailed to take the soundings of the river, up to St, Louis, isnot completed, I amiinclined tothink thatI am going to be able to send the Concord and the citizens of St. Louls will have their wish gratified. It will take no urging on their art for me to accede totheirrequest. I be- leve [am just asanxiousas they arein the matter. There is undoubtedly some opposi- tion to send the Concord to St. Louis on the rt of several of the Missouri Congressmen. hey claim that would be altogether too risky, and that the Concord would certainly be left high and dry on a sandbar before she could come back from St. Louis. Not that they would not like to see the peo- le of St. Louis gratified by having he Concord go there, but they believe if she makes the trip that it will be used as ah argument against them in their demand for an appropriation forthe improvement of the Mississippi. These Con- gressmen have tried to make it appear before Congress that there is not much more than enough water in the river around St. Louis to float a small boat, and if Uncle Sam’s cruiser goes up and shows there isa good depth of — their argument will be knocked in the ead, ’’ Maj. A. N. Miller, in charge of the corps of Government engineers for the Mississippi, between &t. Louis and _ = Cairo, was asked to give an opinion upon _ the chances of the Concord reaching s&st. Louis. ‘*AS you see to-day’s weather map, the river registered 2242 feet this morning and it is probable that it will be as high as 24 feet to-night. Now the Concord has a draft of 14 feet. With the river at twenty-four feet at St. Louis, she could ass the shallow places between here and Siemphis. The danger points are at Goose Isiand below Commerce, at place called Blocks, below Chester and at Crooks,six miles above St. Genevieve. If she Can pass Crooks then she can reach st. Louls. The forecast:to-day made by the local ob- eerver says ‘the indication pointto a stage of twenty-six feet y Monday.’ The forecast from Washington is even more favorabie, It reads: ‘The river will approxt- mate 28 feet by May 10.’ Yes, her draft might be lessened, i1f she unloaded her coal supply and was towed up the river. I judge that she would not draw over 1242 feet under those conditions. Upon the supposition that the river will continue to rise, or at least remain stationary at a 24-foot stage,] the Concord could come to st. Louis after next Wednes- Gay’s festivities. Time is short, but by a udicious use of the wire between here and ashington, Secretary of the Navy Tracy might be induced to give the necessary authority. Old experienced pilots, who know the currents of the river thoroughly, could be se- cured to bring her in safety to st. Louls.’’ The Concord isa vessel of 1,700 tons burden, with a speed of sixteen kaots per houranda strength of 3,40) horse power, Sne carries six G-inch breach-loading rifies, six rapid- fire guns and five machine guns. A COLORADO REVOLT. a Opposition to Republicanism in the Silvor State. This morning W. 8. Haywood of Denver ar- rived in the city ana wag at the Lindell. **Those who count on Col do as among the certain Republican Statés,’’ said Mr. Hay- member of the nate Bepublican State Conven- tion and knows what the feeling is. We re- gard Harrison as the man who will surely be nominated at Minneapolis, andthe general febling is that his chances of securing the voies “ot Calorado are exceedingly microscopic. Fused to be a Republican, but will not vote {or a man whoisso unailterably opposed to ée silver as Harrison, and thousands of Others take the same view. It is true that Cleveland is an opponent of the measure, Dut we Delleve that with a Democrat jn power weh ve far better chances of get- ngthe two money metals placed on the ame footing than ifa Republican was atthe ead of affairs. The action of the Democratic ouse wss a great disappointment to the friends of the white metal, but we know that we have nothing to hope for from the Republicans, while the mangOsIey of the Democrats are in favor of free co nage, at least that is the beHefin Colorado. With us the free silver bill is of almost vital import-« ance. Silver mining is practically gur one industry and old political alliances must give way before it. Men who have never before Voted the Democratic ticket will be found on that side next November. To be sure, the vote of Colorado is small, but we epeak for several other States. Nevada is Ormiy with us as are also Idaho and Mon- tana, while many believe that North Dakota isin line. California is not a silver State, but the silver interest is large, and there as been an immense amount Of dissgatisfac- on -occasioned by the rejection by the Republican Senate of the Chinese exclusion ll pasged by the Democratic House. Oregon so is more influenced by the free coinage Oct ethan BPastern politicians imagine. Altogether the prospects are that theRepubil- cans will have a surprise party in the far West next November.’ Mr. Haywood showed a number of letters from well-known Colorado politicians ad- vocatinghis views.

From the Philadelphia Record. ‘@he dish waterin which the plates and In issuing warrants in cases of homicide Mr. Estep, the Prosecuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction, is not always governed by the action of the Coroner’s jury, as was evidenced by the warrants issued yes- terday afternoon and this morning on the testimony taken in the inquests on Sherman Williamson and William Callahan, both of which were held last Monduyafternoon, The Coroner’s jury held Ed Andrews responsible forthe death of Williamson and the dead man’s widow .as accessory, and in the Callahan case they held Joseph Crotzer as principal and Irving Abend as accessory. The four prisoners were placed in the cala- boose tobe kept there until the Coroner’s stenographer couldwrite outthe evidence and getit ready for Mr. Estep. The transcript in the Williamson Case was submitted to him yesterday afternoon, and Mr. Estep decided upon reading it thatthe evidence of a con- spiracy between Mrs. Williamson and An- drews was not sufficient to justify him in making hera party to the murder, and he refused to issue a warrant axainst her. She was accordingly released from cus- tody while Andrews was committed to jall on & Warrant charging him with murder in the first degree. The evidence on which the Ooroner’s jury held the woman was the tes- timony of Mr. and Mrs, Orthmann, in whose house on Marion street the Williamsons and Andrews lived for several weeks last sum- mer. They bothtestified that Andrews was intimate with Mrs. Willlamson, and that they heard Andrews say that he was going to Kill Williamson, and also that she ad- mitted to them that he had made suchathreat, Mrs. Williamson denied these charges and claimed that they were made because the Orthmanns didn’t get their rent, At the inquest Mrs. Williamson addressed Andrews several times by his first name and appeared to be very familiar with him, and it was her conduct toward him that led the jury to think the charges of the Orthmanns weretrue. Mr. Estep, however, holds that the evidence of the Orthmanns is not sufficient to hold Mrs. Williamson, and claims that it would be a great injustice to her to make her a defendant inthe case. He takes the saine position in the Callahan case, the evidence ih which was submitted to himthis morning. Calla- han, acattleman, was shot last Friday b Joe Crotzer, a barber, in front of 8807 Nort Broadway,and died of his injuries a few hours later, The evidence showed that Crot- ger’s pistol had been given to him a few min- utes before the shooting by Abend, the pro- prietor of the barber-shop, and that Abend knew that Crotzer had just had arow in the shop with Callahan, The oniy question was whether Abend gave Crotzer the pistol to shoot Callahan with or whether as Abend claimed, he gave itto himto pro- tect himself with. The Coroner’s jury took one View ofthe caseand Mr. Estep took the other,the one favorable to Anend,and refused to issue a Warrantagainst him, A charge of manslaughter inthe second Gegree was pre- ferred against Crotzer, butthe prisoner was immediately released on $1,500 ball, his father-in-law going on the bond.

SLATTERY BEING SUED THROUGH | A SOHEME WHICH FAILED. He Was to Have Disposed of a Piece of Property in the West End as a Hotel Site, But Lost on the Deal and Is Now Sued for $1,.900—Court News and Notes. Judge Valliant’s court is engaged to-day hearing a suit by B. A. Melton against Capt. D. P. Slattery for $1,900. The ac- tion is brought on an alleged agree- ment whereby Melton was to receive the amount in consideration of transferring the title of a piece of property at the north- east corner of Lindell and Vandeventer avenues to Capt. Slattery. In the answer filed in the case, Capt. Slattery gives the following explanation: The property, he alleges, belonged tohim. He entered intoOan agreement, he states, with oe 3. Vi Rarret, whereby he transferred the property to Barret for $25,000, taking notes for the amount payable in one, two, three, four and five years and taking a deed of trust on the prop- erty tosecurethem, It was further agreed, it is stated, that should Barret sell the prop- erty for more than the $25,000 .they should divide the profit equally between them. Barret, itis alleged, represented to Capt. Slattery that J. B. Legg would give $35,000 for the property, . for the purpose of building a hotel, and asked Capt. Slattery, it Is stated by the latter if he would take his $25,- 000 in stock of the hotel. Slatterly said he agreed, provided the security was satisfac- tory. Legg, it is alleged, would only pay 5 per cent interest on the stock, and Capt. Slattery wanted 6 per cent on his money. Itis further alleged that an agree- ment was made whereby Barret agreed to allow Capt. Slattery $600 out of his share of the profit. It was then agreed, it is alleged, that Capt. Slattery was to take the whole $25,000, in stock, and give Barret $1,990 in cash, and $2,500 worth of stock 1f the enter- rise should be carried out.In the meantime, tis alleged, Barret conveyed the property to Melton andasked Capt. Slattery, it is al- leged, toenter intoan agreement with Mel. ton to have the property conveyed to him (Capt. Slattery), in order that it might be conveyed to Legg. Slattery states that he signed the agreement, but pleads that it was de- pendent upon the whole enterprise going through, which he alleges, did not occur. Barret, he alleges, is the real party in inter- estinthesuit. E. A. B. Garesche is Milton’s counsel and Judge Laughlin is defending the case. The agreement upon which the suit Its brought is dated Feb. 13, 1892,andthe nego- tiations were begun according to the answer Dec. 11, 1891. The law firm of Smith & Harri- son is also retained by Capt. Slattery in the defense of the case. Applicants for Divorce. Sophie Schueller began a suit for divorce to-day against Thomas. Schueller on the grounds of abuse. They were married Dec. 27, 1875, in Ichtungen, Baden, Germany, and lived together until February last.

The Rush at the Doors of Circuses and Other Big Shows. From the Philadelphia Times, The waiting crowd surges about the ‘‘bus!- ness end’’ of the wagon, and meanwhile the two dispensers of tickets have seated them- selves on a little bench just inside. Suddenly the word is given and an attendant pullsa strap, hoisting the windows, and the busli- ness commences. Not a word do these young men have to say to each other or to their cus- tomers. Their eyes are looking at fists of all sizes and descriptions full of money, and from right to left and then back again, they capture the clutched coln and bills, moving from side to side, enabling all to have an equal chance. irectly a coin or Dill is réceived it Is placed on a sheif ona level with the seller’s arm until the patron has made place for the next in line, then it is thrown into a huge wicker basket on the floor at Nis feet. This retention of money in sight for a moment, is in orderto effectually settle any dispute by an excited buyer who might be in- Clined to question the accuracy of his change or the amount he had paid in, It seems almost an unnecessary precaution however, as these young men never get ‘‘rattled’’ and have no time for talk or argument. After the rush was over yesterday Mr. Cal- lan consented to talk about the difficult art which embraces accuracy ‘and speed to no limited extent, and after modestly admit- ting that it was an expert profession in which big salaries were paid to the ‘‘mas- ters,’’ sald: ‘**We never look at faces—always atthe handthat holds the money. That once se- cured and the ticket or tickets and change thrust into it, then on to the next.’’ ‘*Suppose some one bothers you with ques- tions or annoys you inh any way soasto in- terfere with your sale, what do you do?’’ He laughed as he pointed to a fat man Standing by. ‘*Ata signal that man gets dl- rectly in front of the fractious one and by jthe Simple process of moving backward gradual- ly, all the time treading on his corns, the line is opened, and by the time the crank has got- ee on the outside we have sold hundreds of ickets. ‘*We havea plentifel supply of change and do not touch the money received. ‘‘Counterfeit money we do not fear; wecan almost tell it by the smella mile off, and the only notice we take of it is to whisper one to the other ‘bad stuff!

One of the smartest of the celebrated Bishop Bloomfield’s bon-mots was made dur- ing his last filness, He hadtnquired what had been the subjects of his twoarchdeacons’ charges, and wastold that one was on the art of making sermons and the other on churchyards. ‘‘Oh, I see,’’ said the dying Bishop, ‘‘composition and decomposi- tion!’” Among the pecullarities or Selwyn, which attracted attention, were his love of children and his morbid taste to see death or the dead. Not an execution escaped him, and he is said to have madea joefrney to Paris to see Damiens broken on the wheel, This last propensity was the sub- ject of manya joke among his intimates, of which the first Lord Holland’s was the best. When on his deathbed, he was told that Selwyn had called to inquire after him. ‘*The next tinmie Mr. Selwyn calls,’’ said he, ‘‘show him up; for if I am alive I shall be delighted to see him, and if Iam dead he will be glad to see me.’’ Equal- ly as grimly cynical was the reply of William Taylor (or *‘Willle Barrow,’’ ashe was com- monly called). Being visited in his last ex- tremity by a clergyman, he was asked if he was prepared for another world. ‘‘’Deed sir,’ said Willie, ‘tI dinna ken ff 1 need trouble mysel’ aboot it; forif the folk there are like the folk here, they’ll pay unco’ little attention toa puir body like me, ’’ Sheridan, too, when dying, on being re- quested to undergo an operation, humor- ousiy replied that he had already submitted to two, which were enough for one man’s lifetime, Being asked what they were, he answered: ‘‘Having my hair cut and sitting for my picture.’’ There is a sly insinu- ation in the following which, no doubt, was duly appreciated by the person to whom it was addressed. ‘‘Once,’’ writes Mr. Lawrence Oliphant, ‘‘I was ina Cornish mine, some hundreds of feet down in the bowels of the earth, Crawling down a ladder and feeling that the temperature was every moment getting warmer, I saidto a miner, who was accompanying me: ‘It is getting very hot down here.

Why Lifs as We Know It Is Not Possi- ble on the Moon. From Good Words. | We must remember that in every fiber of our being we have been specially adapted to the life on this particular globe. We know how our senses are adjusted in harmony with the particular atmosphere in which the earth is surrounded; we have now to notice another point, in which the tex- ture of our bodies is arranged to sult the material contents of this globe on whicb we dwell. It may seem strange to learn that the strength of our bones and muscles has been adjusted not solely with regard to the size of our bodies or the quantity of mat- ter they may contain, but with reference to the dimensions and mags of the earth. It might be that, on another globe, even though the atmosphere was exactly like our own both in density and in composition, even though it was supplied with water as ours is, even though it provided us with abundance of sultable food and had a climate agreeable to our constitution, yet it might be wholly impossibie for us to exist there by reason of an incompatibility between the strength of our frames and the mass of the globe on which we stood. Thus to take the case of the moon, which only weighs about one-eightieth partof the earth; the gravitation with which the moon would draw all bodies toward it would be much less than the similar gravitation on the earth, The weights ofall objects would be reduced to about one-stxth part of that which we find them to possess here, The buoyancy of our bodies would be so great that athletic feats would be easy ona body the size of the moon, which coula never be attempted on this globe by belngs with muscles like ours. If a man weighing twelve stone were to be transferred to the moon, the weight of his body, measured, atleast, by the attraction which the moon would exercise upon it, would be reduced to about two stone. If his muscles and his frame remained the same, it would seem as if he would be able to jump over a wall twelve feet high on the smail globe without any greater exertion than would be requiredto cleara walitwo feet high on the earth. Looked atfrom every point of view, it seems hardly possible that there can be any life on the moon resembling the life that we know of on the earth, Fancies. From the Philadelphia Record.

From the New York Sun. Between the Aral and the Caspian Seasisa deep, dry, narrow depression which has long been supposed to have been once the bed ofa river. There have been many speculationsas to the origin and history ofthis stream, and the view has been held tor years that the famous Oxus River, which now flows into the Arai Sea, in a former era found its way to the eo and that this dry channel, known as the Usbol or Old Channel ofthe Oxus, marks the course of the river followed in its way across the desert, hundreds of miles further west than its present mouth in the Aral Sea. There has been much talk within four or five years of digging a channel between the Oxus River and this old river bed, and thus diverting the Oxus from the Aral to the shine pe five years on the wide plain e Aral and the Caspian, has reached the conclusion that the Oxus never fiowed along this channel to the Caspian. He relies chiefly on the geological data that have been brought to light by recent inves- ed to exist- ral Sea, while in the Usboli identical wit of borin along the course of the Usbot. These borings penetrated nothing but clays and sands containing salt water or marine shells, while similar borings in the Sary-Kamysh beds show plenty of fresh water deposits. Thus geological in- vestigations have been called into service to show that the theory that the Oxus once joined the Caspian through the Usboi chan- nel, is untenable. Mr. Konshine believes that the Usboi chan- nel was at one time a part ofa great gulf of the Caspian Sea, the steep banks of the Usboi marking the deep water channel. If further investigation confirms the truth of this the- ory it will upset one of the most interesting and widely accepted geographic hypotheses of recent years. RARE AIR. Recent Testimony of Mountaineers as to Its Effect on the Human System. One of the most interesting parts of Mr. Whymper’s new book on his travels amon the Andes of the equator, treats of the effec of the rarity of the airon the human ° Mr. Whymper has proved scientifically, what thoughtful mountaineers have asserted, that with the diminution of atmospheric pressure goes a diminution of physical power. Hehas made amore novel nt by insisting that the human frame is affected in at least two distinct ways—one by pressure on the internal organs from the expansion of the gases within the body, and the other by the increased exertion required to inhale sufficient air to feed the lungs. The first cause creates the most frevuent inconven- fence on ascents up to 16,000 feet, and the mountain climber may suffer from it severely oue week at 14,000 feet and escape it the next at 18,000 feet, and it depends largely on the temporary state of the organs. Mr. Whym- per wrote his book before Mr. Vallot had made his interesting experiments on the top of Mont Blanc. ‘*Three days’ residence onthe top of Mont Blanc (15,780 feet), sufficed to entirely modify the method of my breathing,’’ Mr. Valiot ays. ‘‘*The last day ov § pulmonary capacity had notably augmented. The number of in- spirations was seventeen a minute in place of fourteen in the plain. The depths of the in- spirations was doubled. Thus, the air being twice less dense than in the plain, there en- tered twice as much air into the lungs and the equilibrium was thus established, I felt no symptoms of mountain sickness.’’ In 1889 Prof. Janssen ascended Mont Blanc. It wasa theory of his thatto retain the full use of one’s faculties, mentaland bodily, at 16,000 feet it was nesessary to avoid physical exertion, and as he was to undertake scien- tific observations he had himself dragged up on a sled to the top. Itis probable that neither Whymper nor Vallot would indorse Janssen’s theory with regard to the impair- ment of the mental faculties ata lofty eleva- tion. Last yeara lot of workmen had some rough experience on thetop of Mont Blanc while they were trying to diga tunnel there. Their experiences led them to the conclusion that in the same time they did one-third less work than they could do atordinary levels. Mr. Freshfield, the well-known mountain- eer, and some other authorities believe, how- ever, that the lungs adapt themselves rapidly to new conditions, andthe limits of their wer of adaptation must be determined. The height to be attained by men who have camped for some time previously at or above twenty thousand feet remains to be ascer- tained. Mr. Freshfield saysJt is evident that the effect of low atmospheric pressures is modified or intensified by accl- dental atmospheric conditions, During the first ascent of Mount Elbruz in the Cau- casus (18,500 feet) with six men, nobody was affected consciously by the rarity of the air. During the second ascent, all the mem- bers of an equally competent party suffered more or less. The first party made the ascent when a high wind prevailed, and the other party when no breeze was stirring, The in- ference is that the high wind brought plenty of air to the party at their lofty elevation. On Monte Kosa, mountain sickness is very rare. **‘Wecannot but belifeve,’’ Mr. Fresh- field says, ‘‘that mountains which project like promontories above the lowlands, and up whose slopes rush draughts of air from the plains, will be found the best for the attainment of the highest possible eleva tions.’’ Mountaineers now regard the Asiatic ranges as the best field for the solution of the ques- tion of the effects of rarity of air’ upon the human system. Itis important to bear in mind that atmospheric pressure diminishes in a decreasing ratio as one ascends and that the difference between 15.000 and 40,000 Is very much less than that between the sea level and 15,000 feet. “LET THE WORLD SLIDE, Let the world go; A fig for care and a fig for woe!

From Harper’s Magazine for May. The work of placing the army from the peace organization on a war footing ts called mobilization. 1t must be performed and fin- ished within a given number of days. The order to mobilize issues from the Emperor, and is made known forthwith to all military and civil authorities, as well as to the people, the former being notified by coer A mobilization affects not only public life, but the business and =. professional lations of every individual. the moment the order is a spirited and well-directed activity is dis- played by every troop to get ready in time, everybody knowing beforehand what is re- quired of himinthisemergency. The first step to be taken istocallin the reserves, in order to fill up the ranks of the standing army and to form new troops. This is done by writ- ten summonses issued from headquarters of the district commanders. These summonses are kept always ready, and every man labie to service in the army or navy is pledged to heed them without delay. Atthe same time the levy of horses is begun, of which there is a very considerable number required for the train, for mounting officers ana military offi- ciais, and for the formation of new troops. All measures connected with a mobilization are mapped out in every detall during peace time, the army being practically prepared for this change at any time. The organization of a mobilized army corps is similar to that in peace. The additional formations are independent cavalry divis- ions, composed of a number of cavalry regiments withdrawn from the regular divisiOns; also reserve divisions and depot and Landwehr formations of every kind. The duty of the latter is to maintain the active army at full strength, and to garrison places at home as well as on or near the seatofwar. The army corps is further replenished by its allotment of train columns .and sanitary attachments, The artillery of the army corps is partly dis- tributed among the divisions, partly used in the formation of a corps artillery, which is placed under the independent command ofa general. The pioneer battalion is broken up, andthe several companies are detached to the divisions. Additional formations are finally required for the mail, telegraph, balioon and railway service. Atthe head of the entire Germanarmy is the Emperor. From army corps and cavalry divisions armies are formedand placed un- der special command and administration. As soon aS the army moves, the etappen are organized for the purpose of keeping up con- nection with the rear, if possible by railways. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Chil- 25c a bottle.

Editor Hudson of Topeka Relates His Experience — A Child Literally De- voured by Dogs-Two Men Under a Fallen Wall—Children Burned to Death —Oasualty Record. ForT Mapison, Io., May 6.—The scene of the Santa Fe wreck presenteda fearful ap- pearance to-day. Scattered about in con- fusion was the debris of the cars, allof them having been com pletely demolished with the exception ot the last sleeping car, which remained on the track. The dead bodies were laid out at an undertaking shop. The woman who was killed was found to be Mrs. G. Rausch of San Bernardino. Shejwas badly bruised and covered with blood. Mrs, Rausch’s babe had evidently been drowned, as no marks of violence were found. Luther Cornelius, the brakeman, was most disfigured, his head and face being terribly bruised and his skull broken in several laces. The. Brotherhood of Ralilway Prainmen have taken charge of his body. Wm. Hines was a large, strongly built man, and when found only his arm and head were visible. He had evidently gone into the chair car because he would not pay 2.50 for a berth in the sleeper, offering $2 for it. S. E. Verkler’s body was in aé fearful condition. His head, face, neck and shoulders were a mass of bruises and jagged cuts. His face wore an expression ofagony and in his hands was clenched mud and clay which he had grasped in his struggle. ‘There have been telegrams sent from Peoria and Forest, Ill., for his body. The only body thus far shipped ts that of Lou Markes,which went this morningto his mother’s home at Sumner, Mo. He was probably drowned, there being few cuts on his trody Many of the passengers who escaped this morning left for Chicago on the local pas- senger train. Among them was Maj. Hudson, editor of the Topeka Capitol, who was a can- a for the seat of Senator Ingalls. He said: **When the train went down there was no such babel of cries and horrible confusion of groans that one usually expects. The storm was raging at its height and the night was very dark. Work was commenced at once on the wreck, but the light of lanterns gave only flickering beams, and it was daylight before any effective ser- vice could be rendered.’’ In the express car the trainmen founda small burro inasmall box, which was com- pletely wedged in by the timbers of the car. It wastaken out unhurt, The most pathetic sight was that of Mrs. Bausch and her dead infant lying side by side, while the little daughter of 2 years of age was crying piteously for her dead mother. LITERALLY DEVOURED. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., May 6.—A 2-year. old infant, the son of John Britsch, living at New Kose, was literally devoured by the large house dog of the family. The dog sprang upon him, fastened its sharp teeth in his cheek, tore off. the flesh until the bones became bare and then it devoured it greedily. In one instant it attacked the breast, throat and eyes with similar results. The dog was at length driven away, but the child died in a few hours. UNDER A FALLEN WALL.

ONE OF THE “150.” A Good Story of One of Ward McAllister’s Dames—Its Truth Is Not Guaranteed. Looking over the new social list of Mr. Mc. Allister, in which the arbiter of fashion has reduced the number of the select from 400 to 150, an old New Yorker who has lived on Washington square for thirty years smiled lightly and said to a correspondent of the Utica Observer: ‘*flere’s the name of a woman that arouses strange thoughtsin me.

One evening when we were about half way over l was talking tothe woman in asecluded part ofthe ship. I assumed that the prospects were entirely in my favor, but when I referred rather jocularly to my friend and his hopeless suit she grew suddenly cool, and reminded me that she heid him in high esteem. She looked at me very coldly in the moonlight. ** *He is very rich,’ said she, ‘* *Soam 1,’ I rejoined. ** ‘He is very liberal,’ said she, ‘* ‘In your case,’ I replied, ‘there could be no limit to my liberality,’ ** ‘He would make great sacrifices for me,’ she went on. ** *So would I,’ I responded. ‘**He will marry me!’ she hissed. silent. ‘‘He will marry me!’ she repeated, with great intensity.

Among the latest: work of the Bureau of Ethnology which is being prepared for the Chicago Exhibition is a set of six large trans- arencies, enlarged from kodak pictures of he ghost dance. There have been many ac- counts of the dance given of late in the apers, and some spirited iliustrations, said o have been taken from life, but it can be safely said that they are all the work of a vivid imagination, and that these pictures are the only ones that have yet been taken from life. They are the work of Mr. omg Mooney of the bureau, who has for two years ast made a careful study of the dance In all ts phases, and has seen it enacted a hundred times or more. fore Soe Cs og particularly secretive tn ormance, and ng vein all matters Soneaten: with his religious be- liefs and observances, the Indian was natur- ally loath to admit outsiders to a view of this important ceremony; but by discreet and diplomatic approaches, this opposition was overcome, and the result isan invaluable collection of snap-shot negatives, taken di. rectly in the dance circle, with hundreds of Indians in all stages Of Gress and undress leaping and shou around.

Others of the arencies show the dancers in a state of col- pse that follows their exertions, and others again iilustrate the attitude of prayer and S 1 ion.

Human vivisection is by no means rare in many an American home, where. most of the time !s spent in exploiting growing children for the amusement or interest ofthe parents or visitors, Those schools which advertise themselves as like homes eg oh pee that they do not know what the function of eithor is. Perhaps the best training any ambitious girl could have for teaching would be found, not in a normal school, but for one year in an asylum for idiots, one yearat Hampton, and one in a school for the blind. She would learn in such work as this how to reach the intelli- gence which lies waiting. I think if Pestalozzi and Froebel were now living they would ask for new names, s0 weary would they be of havingall sorts of crude and absurd Jabor ascribed to them.

YELLOW SHOES pipecialy ——— eee EYES AND EYES. Thieves and Some of Their Pecullarities of Expression. From the Pittsburg Press. The student of human nature never tires of examining the form and expression of the eyes of men and women whom he meets. And this is so because the eye always indi- cates the character of the man. This may seem a rather broad statement, but it is ex- actly true, nevertheless. In some instances a single glance is sufficient. This is particu- larly true of thieves, for the expert detective can tellin almost every case whether or not a man is a thief by simply looking him eqparesy in the eyes. well-known Allegheny detective, in speaking of this mat- ter the other day, said: ‘*Yes, sir, I can pick a thief out every time. I can’t tell you what it is that gives the man away except thatitis the expression of the eye. Inthe first place, there are few thieves that will look you squarely in the eye unless they are obliged to do so. They will avoid your glances as long as they can, and even when they do face you and gaze steadily at youiltisalways with the same expression. Although theireyes may be wide open and the gaze apparently steady, you will see if ou 100K closely that there is something away ack through the cornea trying to avoid ou. Ihave picked out numbers of thieves y this little dodging movement. I never saw a thief yet who was free from it. ‘*Everybody has met that man who reso- lutely refuse to meet a steady gaze for more than three or four secondsatatime. Itis not fair to say that all such persons are dlis- honest. In many cases this peculiarity is a direct result of bashfulness. Some men grow red in the face instantly if they discover that they are being closely watched. And with other men it ts simply nervousness, which may affect the muscles of the eye, as it does the other muscles of the body. But inthe majority of cases this unwillingness to meet Aa steady gaze indicates a cowardly, if not an actually dishonest dispo- sition. It isnothard to determine whether bashfulness, nervousness or dishonesty is the cause of the restless eye. A little close obser- vation will enable the observer to put per- sons in the class in which they belong. The man whose eye is almond-shaped is almost always dishonest at heart, if notin overt act. The eyes of some of the most notorious thieves in the country are of this pattern, and the expression given the face by this sort of eye is very striking.’’ Another characteristic thief’s eye is the one whose lower lid is straight, while the upper one is more or less arched. The straight lower lid is always noticeable, however, the effect being a very cunning and fox-like ex- pression. Detectives usually have very noticeable eyes, keen and clear, although one of the best thief-takers the writer has ever known has big brown eyes. as innocent in expression as those of a frank and honest school boy. This is his natural expression, but when he becomes interested in anything his lids close and his gaze is as penetrating as that of an eagie. NAPOLEON’S IDEA WORKED OUT. A Vessel That Can Be Steered Instan- taneously in Any Given Direction. From the New York Press. A startling freak in the way of naval archi- tecture is being built at Mumm’s shipyard in Brooklyn for the Chicago exposition, It isa nine master, circular salling vessel, a gigantic paeere boat which is destined to carry undreds of thousands. of passengers over Lake Michigan. The Leviathan is the name of the freak. It is a practical development of a theory which the great Napoieon nursed during the heyday of his triumph when he attempted to builda battle shipthat could be navigated in any desired direction. The Leviathan has no bow:;she has nostern. Her steering apparatus is to be controlled en- tirely by electricity. By pressing a button her commander may direct her course any way he pleases. Col. Jesse Wilkinson Foster, a nephew of the late Commodore Jesse Wilkinson, U. 8. N.,1is the inventor of the Leviathan, Ac- cording to the models which he has prepared the Leviathan will look like an immense boxed circus ring. If it were pussible to raise it from the water and stand it on one of its sides it would have the appearance of a gigantic fly wheel. Wires extending from the inner circumferance of tne boat and radiating tothe center look like tha spider- like spokes Ofa wheel. These wires are the electric conductors which control the steer- ing apparatus. When inthe water the inside of 7 circular boat willappear like a circular pond. The Leviathan will be constructed in eighteen watertight compartments, having nine masts, with a sail capacity of 38,800 square feet. Built to runin shoal water, she will be double Keeled, drawing not more than ten inches of water when carrying 1,000 pas- sengers. She will have a displacement of 8,000 feet and Is expected to exert a power of thirty tons when traveling at the rate of eight kKnotsan hour. Her length is 800 feet, beam 100 feet and truck 35 feet high. The circular saioon will be 200 feet long, 15 feet broad and 10 feet high. Cabins are being built to accommodate 600 passengers. A tour around the exposition buildings on the Levia- than will cost twenty-five cents, At night ge A = ship will be illuminated by electric ght. A Blue Law Sabbath.

The Sabbath commenced on Saturday night, when we children were required to udy the scriptural lesson for the nextday. After an early breakfast next morning we went at our lesson again until church time.

Men and Women Who “Swore Off’? Their Personal Taxes. From the New York Times. The time for swearing off personal taxes closed at noon yesterday, and a large number of wealthy poor people ‘‘swore off’’ before President Barker of the Tax Department and Commissioners Parris and Feitner. Col. 8. V. R. Cruger was the first customer attended to by the commission. Mr. Cruger declared that his debts and risks exceeded the value of his personal property, and went away happy. Ex Congressman John J. Adams took the commissioners into his confidence by swear- ing that he had no personal property, and, therefore, should not be taxed for any. Jenkins Van Schaick made affidavit that the only personal property he owned was his household furniture, and thateven that be- lon ged to his wife. A young man came in and told President Barker that he was a lawyer. **Sign the oath,’’ said the President; ‘**no need to ask you any more questions. I have not founda single lawyer who owned any personal yg tS xy President Barker asked the first woman who sought to swear off her personal taxes whether her debts amounted to more than her personal property or not. ‘*T did not come here to be insulted,’’ she said, ‘‘and I’ll get a lawyer,’’ and so she flounced out. One man said that he had money in Janu- ary, butthat his wife had run away with another man and took most of the money with her. Divorce proceedings made him penniless. J. Coleman Drayton was one of those who swore off his personal taxes. Altogether more than 250 0f these poor people ‘‘swore off’’ yesterday. Novelist snd Cook. When Balzac, the famous French novelist, was actually engaged in the labor of compo- sition he lived in the most frugal manner, ab- sorbed in work and negiectful of the table. Rose, his cook, used to fall into despair when her master, during these months of produc- tion, neglected her dainty dishes. One of his friends writes: Ihave seen her come into his room on tip- toe, bring a delicious ————— and trem- bling with eagerness to see him drink it. Balzac would catch sight of her; then he would toss back his mane of hair with an im- patient jerk ofthe head, and exclaim in his roughest and most surly voice: **Rose, goaway! I don’t want anything; let me alone!’’ **But mossieu will ruin his health !f he goes on in this way; mossieu will fall ill!’’ **No, no! let me alone,I say,’’ he would thunder. ‘‘I don’t want anything. You worry me. Go away!’’ Then the good sou! would turn very slowly, muttering: ‘*‘To take such pains to please mossieur! And such a soup! How it smells! Why should mossieu keep mein his oS if he doesn’t want what I do for m? ’? This was too much for Balzac. He called her back, drank the soup ata gulp and said in his Kindest voice, as she went off radiant to her kitchen: *‘‘Now, Rose, don’t let this happen again.’’ Yet it did vue ga again whenever the stress of composition began, for so beloved was the great worker by his tervants that they would brave abuse and displeasure for his good.

There isa provatons notion thatthe sham- rock is not ing but clover. Indeed, many Irish people will show you clover and tell you that it isthe shamrock. But, according to the best authorities, the true shamrock is the Oxalis, not the trifolium repens. All the Irish flags which bear the shamrock represent the former plant, whichis different from the other in this. Clover leaves spring in a bunch from a common root; shamrock leaves spring in alternating order from either side of a stem which creeps close to the ground, rc) leaves aresmaller thanthose of theclover plant, more delicate, and the plant is, as compared with clover, very rare, A Woman’s Way of Speculating.

Fewer Colored People in New England From the Philade!phia Daily Evening Telegraph. The colored race «oes not increase rapidly in New England. Rhode Island is the one of the New England States where the col- ored people were in 1890 over 2 per cent of the population. Even there the colored pop- ulation has, according to the census, fallen off from 2,49 per cent of the population in 1850 to 2.21 per cent in 1890. In Connecticut in the same period, the percentage declined from 2.07 to $1.72. In Mainethe colored pop- ulation in 1890 was less than a quarter of 1 per cent, a decline for the decade, buta slight, scarcely B mages mgs gain as com- ared with 1850. esame is true of New neon cage ot and Vermont, where colored people make up only 0.18 per cent and 0.30 oe cent respectively of the population. In assachusetts they were, in 1890, 1.05 r cent of the et eee yen against 0.91 in ° In Massachusetts, as in all other New zaenens States, however, their percentage declined during the preceding decade. The census enumerators found 23,570 colored pee le in Massachusetts in 1890; 1,823 in Maine, n New Hampshire, 1,004 in Vermont, 7,647 in Rhode Island, and 12,820 in Connecti- cut. There is no indication of the forcing of the color line in New England litics in these figures, but there is, on the other hand,the suggestion of a ce ynpeny & decadent race or at least one that is not holding its own in its social isolation.

GEN. HAWLEY sagely remarks that ‘‘the tariff cannot create a monopoly inanything which 65,000,000 people are free to pro- duce.’’ As an abstract proposition this cannot be questioned. It is significant that a Republican politician who quit thinking in 1876 should now produce any- thing in the nature of thought. Of course this is a self-evident truth to all who are by pride or prejudice, warped would not and | by be taken for granted most intelligent people. Gen. HAWLEY, however, has risen to heights unwontedforhim. But it is not likely that he realized what he was saying. — If he had known what the proposition meant he would have curbed his tongue. Repub- lican politicians should talk about the vet- erans, the old flag, the priceof laborin Europe and beneficent effect of protection and reciprocity. Abstractions are loaded and people who are not used to ideas should avoid them. What ‘‘thing’’ did Gen. HAWLEY have in mind when he made this remark? Was he thinking of the anthracite coal product? That is absolutely monopolized by two rival railroad companies, the Reading and the Pennsylvania, who are fighting for the exclusive possession of all the anthracite mines. The fight willend by a compro- mise and division of territory after the manner of medieval cutthroats of good blood, but will 65,000,000 people be free to produce anthracite? Certainly not, but they will be free.to buy hard coal at prices fixed by an irresponsible monopoly or let it alone, which, in the opinion of most Republicans, is all the freedom the people can reasonably ask. Or perhaps the Senator means sugar. A number of individuals have thought they were free to produce this necessary article of consump- tion but they discovered it was freedom with a difference—the sort of freedom enjoyed by the man who found himself between the devil and the deep sea. Anybody is free to produce sugar if he chooses to do so, and Messrs. HAVEMYER and SPRECKELS are free to crush him under the weight of the capital which the Government has enabled them to plunder from their free fellow-citizens. The truth is Senator HAWLEY’s dictum is merely a glittering generality, which sounds well but does not correspond to any thingin fact. Nominally agy one of our 65,000,000 is free to produce anything or buy anything. Really and legally he may not produce or buy any commodity. Industrial action is no longer a right but a privilege, and there are few occupations in which a man without a privilege can en- gage with the smallest prospect of success. — oe © ere It is very curious that a man like Rus- SELL HARRISON should have any influence with Jonn W. Nope. The Secretary isa man of affairs, pretty well versed in the ways of the world. Itis hard to believe that the great grandson of his great grand- father can influence him in any way ex- cept to arouse a sentiment of contempt. Secretary NOBLE may be to blame for his course in the Yellowstone Park matter, but industrial. The parents of the child have discard the paternal principle and the he does not deservé the insult implied by WATERS’ testimony that Russ HARRISON had a ‘‘pull’? on him, The young man was probably playing nothing but a bunco game on the gang. | > —-_ — SECRETARY NOBLE refuses to produce papers disclosing the truth about removals in the Pension Office and rests his case upona law vesting the appointment and removal of the employes concerned in him- selfalone. Itis doubtful, however, if a violator of one law can find protection by skulking behindanother. Mr. Raum is in danger, ——__-pa- -¢@ — — 7 -_ ; . 7 ¥, . Tel, eas” Z <5 , .. ~~ s i ~ ptr

He Said Noonan Was Getting to Be ‘‘a Regular Drunkar.i’’—Secretary Elkins Coming to Jefferson Barracks—The Clark Avenue Bridge Will Be Built— Relief for Property Owners. Mayor Noonan has started a vindictive fight on John B. O'Meara, it seems, from things thatare being talked about atthe City Hall now. M, J. Kagan, a field hand in the Sewer Department, has just been discharged through a demand upoh Commissioner Southard by the Mayor. Eagan was put in his place through the influence of John B. O’Meara, who at the time of the appoint- ment was on good terms with the Mayor. He has a4 brother employed on the new City Hall work, named Will Eagan, and the Mayor Is said to be after his head, too, President George Burnett ofthe Board of Public Improvements will have something to say about this, however, and he has made it g rule, in his offices, not to allow politics to interfere with public work. Since it has transpired that O’Meara has secured most of the delegates to vote for him in the convention for Lieutenant-Governor, the Mayor has sent out word to the wards that the delegates elected by his combination with Dalton must vote for O’Meara under no circumstances, and Secretary James W. Brennan has announced positively that the St. Louis man who gives O’ Mearaa voteinthe convention will be regarded exactly as the Mayor looks on those who fought him at the primaries. The Mayor’s idea is easily under- stood. It would hurt him greatly inthe city ff Stone Beat Dalton for the gubernatorial nomination, and O’Meara were then nomi- nated for Lieutenant-Governor. The fight of the Mayor on him is going to give the rich quarryman all he can do between now and the time the convention meets in July to hold the delegates together who have promised to vote for him, out are weakening under threats. Eee ; CALLED NOONAN A DRUNKARD, The truth of the quarrel between the Mayor and O’Meara has not been told. Uptoa month or two before the primaries, the Mayor and he were the warmest possible friends, and the Mayor several times went to great lengths toheip the contractor to keep Tival quarrymen out ofthe Meld. One morn- ing, when the Mayor had been absenting himself irom the office forseveral days, an intimate personal friend of His Honor met O’Meara coming away from the City Hallina disgusted state of mind. He had been unable to see the Mayor, and important business de- pended upon an interview. ‘*Well, how is Noonan?’’ asked the friend of His Honor, carelessly. O’Meara replied impetuously. ‘‘He’s going all to pieces,’’ hesaid. ‘‘He’s getting to be a@ regular drunkard, justashe was when we picked him up and hominated him for Mayor.’’ The remark was repeated to the Mayor. Just atthat time it was a question whether O’Meara or swift had the most influence with the Mayor. His Honor from that day O’Meara and took up Swift was always in his office, and Secretary Brennan gave O’Meara the cold shoulder. A hint was enough to the con- tractor. He found out that the Mayor had heard what he had ‘said and figuring there was no further necessity for concealment, allowed his oral opinion ofhis former friend to become known. Then the Dalton caticus ne held, and O’Meara was not asked to at- Bridging Clark Avenue. Some time ago the business men who have bauling to do between Twelfth street and Jefferson avenue,alongthe Mill Creek Valley, asked the city to build ai Obridge over that part of Clark avenue, between Eighteenth and Twentieth, which had been closed totrafficon account of the new depot. The petition went its usual slow way, and the petition- ers heard nothing more of it. They have indirectly concluded that President George Burnet has lit cigars with it, for to- day they sent another petition in to the Board of Public Improvements, more peremptory than the first. It was signed by Gideon W. Carmichael, formerly Secretary of the Republican Central Committee, John Clarke, the former assemblyman, Fred Walsh and other well-known men living on Clarke av- - enue, Chestnut, Market and Eugenia streets. When Street Commissioner Murphy was asked about the fetition, he reached into a pigeon-hole and pulled out the old petition. Phese people are going to have _ that bridge,’’ said he, ‘*but wecan’t builditina day. If they’ll just walt a littie they will get it. This petition is going back to the board at its next meeting and Wwe’ll push it through as fast as we can.’ Secretary Elkins on Jefferson Barracks. Street Commissioner M. J. Murphy got back to-day from Washington. He saw Secretary Elkins and discussed Jefferson Barracks while there, and the Secretary said that he proposed to make the post one of the finest in the United States. The Secre- tary, too, hinted that he would slip away from Washington soor, and take a look at the Barracks himself. ‘‘He told me,’’ said the Commissioner to-day, ‘‘that there would be always ten or twelve companies of soldiers at the post. Ihave reason to believe thatthe $175,000 which has been set aside to be spent on the post this ear will be increased to $250,000. lLintend © do one tling for the city, and that is improve the road leading down there, lower Grand avenue andthe stringtown road. Mr. Elkins told me that the military authori- tiles would build a fine road out from the bar- are , to meet ours if we would improve Ool. D. H. Armstrong, who has taken a good deal of interest in Jefferson Barracks matters, will goto Washington himself to- morrow for the purpose of supplementing Commissioner Murphy’s work. Making the Granitoid Walks. By the terms of an ordinance lately passed, all the new sidewalks put down in the district between Twelfth = street and Kings’ highway and Chouteau ave- mue and Franklin must beof granitoid, and as the sidewalks already Jaid in that part of the city wear out, they must be replaced by ranitoid ones. bome granitoid contractors in the city have been frightening property ners in the granitoid district by sending em circulars, telling them they must have their granitoid walks iald before July 1, or pay the nalty of havingthe city do the ork for them. The circulars tell the people | t it will eost them much more the city does the work than if they These cir- rs have been brought to the Oity Hail by Ommissioner Murphy assured each property-owner that the 2 them to lay the side- “July 1 or any other date.

SEWARD THOMAS FARES: BADLY AT THE HANDS OF AN IRATE BROTHER. ’ Pursued Into a Drug Store and Beaten Most Severely—The Story of His Alleged Attempts to Make a Mash on the Young Lady~—There Was a Lively Chase. At 7:30 o’clock this morning @ man came tearing down Tenth street, near Market, closely pursued by another man with a base ball bat in his hand, and a young lady screaming at the top of her voice asa run- ning mate. The man being pursued ran like an athlete down Tenth, but was closely crowded by his pursuer. He dashed through Neichelman’s grocery store on the corner of Tenth and Market, knocking down boxes and baskets and scattering them around in reckless profusion in the pathway of his anery pursuer. Helter skelter came the man with the bat dashing through, and overtaking his victim just .as he attempted to enter the hallway on Tenth street, leading into the Hartwig drug store. Loud words were indulged in for only a minute, when the bat in the hands of the angry pursuer proceeded to play ‘sad havoc with the head of hiscaptive. One, two and three dozen blows sounded out upon the morning air and yells of murder were intermingled with curses and the remark, **I’ll show you how to insult my sister.’’ The unmerciful flogging continued ten min- utes when the young lady who had been standing near by seeing that the job was be- ing well done, hurried off down Market street and was soon lost in the surg- ing mass of humanity. The man with. the bat jum ped into an express wagon and drove rapidly down Tenth street. After the smoke of the battle had cleared away the victim gathered himself to- gether, and leaning up against the side of the drug store he presented the appearance of a man who had given the wrong sign at a lodge meeting with rooms on about the eighth floor. His clothes were torn, eyes blacked and face bleeding. He was driven away in a carriage, looking rather worse for the wear. WHO THEY WERE. The trouble has been brewing for six weeks past, and is all on account of Miss Julia Daly, a very pretty young lady who is employed at Nixon & Jones printing-house on Third and Walnut streets; It seems that for some six weeks past a man by the name of Leonard Thomas has made it a point to wait on the corner of Eleventh and Market for Miss Daly to pass, when he would take occasion to speak to her, so she alleges. She claims to have been worried nearly to death by thefellowand his proposals and re- ported the visit to her brother, Tom Daly,a driver inthe employ of the Adams Express Co., and who resides with his sister and mother at No. 417 South Fifteenth street. For several mornings he has followed his sister in the express wagon with the hope of catching sight of the man who she claims persistently insults her, but it was not untiithis morning that he had an opportunity to meet him which resultea as told above. The affair was only witnessed by a very few persons and, as none of the spectators knew the participants, the police have made no ar. rests although from the clubbing Thomas received he must be seriously injured. He was known to Miss Dolly as Thomas, but it Is a fic- titious name. For twomonths past he has been noticed standing on Eleventh and Mar- ketand invariably worealight gray suit of clothes, white necktie anda Derby hat; all appearances indicating a regular dude of the mash order. THE YOUNG LADY. Miss Dolly was seen by a Post- DISPATCH reporter this afternoon and when informed that the matter was being investigated by the PostT-DIsPATCH she was very much agi- Ntated. Miss Dolly hasa good reputation in the neighborhood in which she resides and is considerably mortified over the affair.

METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE. Reports From Missions Read-—To-Day’s Proceedings. OMAHA, Neb., May 6.—Bishop Mallalleu pre- sided at the morning session of the Methodist Episcopal General Conference to-day. Rev. Wm. Curt of the Italian Mission officiated in the. devotional exercises. There has been a lively contest In the organization of the Tem- perance Committee. Among those who de- sire’ to be Chairman Rev. J. G. Evans of Illi- nois, Prof. W. F. Whitlock of Ohio, Dr. A. J. Kinnett of Philadelphia and Rev. E. H. Pen- dleton of Kansas were the most active. Rev. J. G. Evans secured the election by a major- ity of two votes. The Temperance Committee is looked upon asavery important one. Several delegates absent thus farinthe conference arrived to- day and answered roll call. Dr. Neeley of Philadelphia presented the conference witha very handsome record of the work of the constitution commission. The order of the day wastakenupat 10:30 o’clock, being the report of Bishop Thoburn of India and Malayasia. The Methodist Church, he says, was teaching and preaching the gospel in India and Malayasia in thirteen different languages. Bishop Thoburn’s report gave a detailed account of the work done in the three annual conferences, the District Conference and the Woman’s Conference in India. It stated that the work in India was in excellent con- dition, but the need was great. The working force from Amorica had fallen off some, but the work had continued to grow. The mem- bership had increased nearly 30,000 during the quadrennial. The Methodist Sunday-schools in India now have a membership of over 55,000 members, an increase of 15,000 in four years. In the day schools the church had 29,000 native pupils of India. The people by thousands were giving up their idols, and the native ministry was rapidly increasing, both in humbers and efficiency. The report warmly commended the work of women in the missions of India. The church has established three publishing houses and is sending out pamphlets and periodicals in mine different languages from its own resses. The report recommended that there five conferences organized instead of three. The conferences are too iarge at pres. ent, compelling some of the ministers to travel 2,000 to 8,000 miles to attend them. The report urged the necessity of enlarging upon the work. -**Tne day of small things is past,’’ said the bishop. ‘‘We musttake up the work before us and carry practically the responsibilities laid upon us. We do not know what may happen to-morrow, but we do know that the sun never sets in the morning. It is just ‘morning in India. Let us up and doing while e light lasts.’’ e conclusion of Bishop Thoburn’s ad- which was heartily applauded, the conference sang, ‘‘The Morning Light Is Breaking.’’ The Chinese exclusion bill was finally re- ferred to another special committee of five ministers and four laymen. After notices had been given out, the conference ad- urned at 1 o’clock. On motion of Dr. Hamilton the report of ishop Tayior of Africa was made the order or to-morrow at 10 o’clock. : The conference then requested the com- mittee appointed the previous day to prepare @ resolution upon the ese exclusion bill to re . Jadge Lawrence submitted the report, which stated thatthe committee had learned that the bill had already been signed by the President,and it was therefore too late totake action until the exact wording and condition of the bill should be ascertained, ll] offered a minority report to to committee. He feared that the passage of the Chinese exclusion bill would jeopardize the PAS and property he wanted the issionaries in Ohina aetter thoroughly considered ana disposed BAT. — -—- —_ | of so that the conference might be thorough- ly informed &s to the actual Sate of affairs.

Postmaster Harlow and Other Post-Office Officials Witness the Inauguration of the New Scheme, Which Will Work Wonders in the Local Delivery System The Ladies Pleased. The house letter-box system can be said to ‘be a success. It wastested this morning on Carrier Route 554, bounded by Union, Hamil- ton, Delmar and Cabanne avenues. Seventy- five boxes had been placed on the front doors or porches of as many residences, and this morning the carrier made the first use of them. Though nearly all the boxes displayed the sign ‘‘mail,’’ the carrier made his rounds in only fifteen minutes’ additional time, Yesterday Superintendent of City De- livery John H. Cookson went over the route with the carrier and requested that the boxes be made use of in all. the houses where they had been placed. This morning Assistant Superintendent of City Delivery, Mr. Devereaux, went out with Carrier Hitchcock and a fair-sized bundle of mail. They saw the householders had obeyed instructions to make use of their mail boxes, as all bDut-a few showed the automatic sign ‘‘mail.’’ All doubt as to the ability ofa carrier with fairly good sight to see the little metal signs were cleared away asthe pair of Uncle Sam’s representatives proceeded. In some places where the box was placed in a door which § set back some distance in a shad- owy vestibule the sign ‘‘maltl’’ showed up like a headlight, and a passing carrier could not mistake it. One obstacle was met with, however, which explained the loss of fifteen minutes by the carrier. Some boxes, though itn perfect working order when put up last week, had been tampered with by members of the household, who no doubt, were displaying the new invention to friends, and the result was that the locks and hinges did not work as readily as they should, LOST A MINUTE. Carrier Hitchcock losta minute or more on several boxes, which onaccount of their newness did not work properly, but this will be remedied atonceas will other obstacles while the test is going on. From the manner in which Carrier Hitch- cock handled his mail in delivering and col- lecting this morning it can be said almost to a certainty that the house letter-box will soon become one of the most important features in the system of free delivery and Collection inthis city and that the plan will be adopted inall the large cities of the United States and Europe. Route 554, Which embraces Cabanne place and that newly built up territory surrounding it, was selected by Postmaster Harlow as the best route in thecity totest the system. The people living in that quarter are a well-to-do if notarich class of citizens, whoown the houses they live in and whoform a part of the social organization of St. Louis. Society events, parties, balls, and other happenings, which are always pre- ceded by aliberal use of the mails are fre- quent, and as the female portion of the popu- lation are an educated class the social cor- pee paneenes is very large. For these reasons and the fact that the. locality is five miles from the Post-office and is payed throughout, this route was selected by Maj. Hariow. He will re- — the result ofthe test as soon as it has een carried farenough to see what differ- ence, ifany, the weather, the condition of the streets and the daily use of the boxes will make with the carrier on his rounds, THE LADIES PLEASED. The ladies living in the houses having boxes are delighted, and as Carrier Hitchcock rushed in and out of front yardsand ap- proached the front doors he was greeted with Smiles and the happy faces of the housewives. There are many reasons why they should smile and be pleased. The little box onthe front door meant to them that they will have no further use for their husbands or brothers as letter carriers. Instead of intrusting an important letter to **hubby’’ to mall and then finding it in his old clothes weeks and sometimes months after, the wife will place it in the box on the front door and witness it being taken into the custody of **Uncle Sam’’ at the next call of the carrier. The condition of the weather and the streets need not interfere with their correspondence under this system, as there will be no necessity of walking from two to six blocksto the nearest letter-box in the rain or even worse, entrusting the errand to the children and have their letters lost. There will be no more door- bell ringing by the carrier, His visit will be brief and silent and if any mis- sives are left by him,they may be taken from the box any at time it suits the people’s con- venience. WHAT THE RESULT WILL BE. And in return tor these conveniences Post- master Harlow expects a financial return. He argues that when there is a certainty of mailmatter reaching the Post-office without delay and the delivery is as prompt as though a special messenger had been hired to per- form the task, letter writing will increase perceptibly, and, of course, letters must be stamped with little colored pictures, which can he had for the small sum of 2 cents each, So prompt will be the collection and delivery uncer this new system that a resident of Cabanne place may write to another portion of the city in the mornihg, and if the ;recipi- ent answers atouce, the reply will be de- liveredin Cabanne place at the afternoon delivery. This isa feat many postmasters have struggied long to accomplish, but it re- mained for Postmaster Harlow to show how it could be done. His report on this, his pet scheme of improved mail service, is anxiously awaited at Washington and in London, En- gland, besides other Postmasters in large citles who are anxious to improve their de- livery and collection system. “THERE IS MANY a rich stone laid up in the bowels of the earth, many a fair pearl laid up in the bosom of the sea, that never was seen hor never shall be.’’ There’s many a rich bargain in the columns of the SUNDAY Post-DisPaATOH, Many a rare gem of a home, waiting to be picked up by the watchful reader.

LONDON, May 6.—The general public is be- coming thoroughly disgusted with the actions of Borrowe, Fox, Milbank and others who have gained notoriety by the course they have followed since the revelations of the Drayton-Borrowe scandal were made public. Considerable . excitement prevails to-day eamong the friends of the duelists, and it Is predicted that fresh encounters will shortly take place. Borrowe, in company with a friend, called at the lodgings of Col. Tom Ochiltree yesterday and asked tosee that gen- tleman. The servant who answered the bell said that Col. Ochiltree was at home, but he declined to see Borrowe. The latter then senta message to the Colonel, stating that he had heard that he (Col. Ochiltree)! had threatened to spit in his face and he had come to his lodgings to have him carry out that threat. Theservant declined to carry the message and Borrowe left. It is reported that Borrowe Is eager for another encounter with Fox, who will sail forthe United States in a fortnight. Milbank is also in London, ha come over from Brussels toattend to coun iene business. Heis under bondto return to Bel- gium to answer for participating in_ the duel with the ‘‘anknown’’ French ~~ was \ at ge ae SV %8 ' IN CHILDHOOD Is the Time to Treat and Cure Catarrhal Troubles. Before the Disease Extends Until Vital Organs Are Reached and a Cure Is Difii- cult and Sometimes Impossible. NLY a bad cold we think when the little one is cough- ing and sneezing, his bright littie’ eyes inflamed and filled with tears and his face flushed with fever. rg day ortwo and he will be allright again. Some sim- ple domestic remedy is ad- ministered, and in ashort time the cold apparently $ ears. x atter at the time, and in and is relieved, only to be another until finally the little one isa sufferer from chronic catarrh. ibs Aftera time itis noticed that the child does not respond promptly when spoken to. Fle must be ad- dressed in alouder tone. Can it be possible he is becoming deaf? It is true that such is the case. The inflammation, once started in the mucous mem- brane of the nose, naturally follows that membrane into all the organs which itlines. It attacks the membrane of the eustachian tubesfeading from the upper back part of the throatgo the middie ear. The membrane is inflamed and thickened and the tubes partially or wholly closed up; roaring, buzzing, cracking noises follow, accompanied by dullness or entire loss of hearing. : Again the inflammation extends down the trachea and bronchia! tubes and reaches the lungs, produc- ing bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption. Nor is this all. The catarrhal process next attacks the mucous membrane of the wsophagus leading to the stomach, The disease spreads, and reaching the stomach and intestines renders them incapable of performing their proper functions in the process of digestion. As a result the food taken into the stomach lies there undigested, heavy as lead, fer- ments, producing poisonous gases, which cause a bloated feeling and beiching. Here, then, we find an explanation of many symp- toms which seem to have no connection with nasal catarrh, but which do as surely and naturally follow in its wake as smoke accompanies fire. For example: The stomach is distendeg with gas and crowds upon the dlaphragm, encroaching upon the heart, causing fluttering and palpitation, proses upon the lungs and interfering with respiration, often causing shortness of breath. and by this pressure on heart and lungs disturbing circulation and causing cold extremities, hot and cold flashes, depression of spirits, dizziness, feeble pulse, nervousness, peculiar indescribable sensations. To those suffering. with any form of catarrh, whether of nose, throat or bronchial tubes, the sug- gestions of the lesson are imperative. Take this trouble in time. Do not wait for the catarrh to sprees from nose to throat, and thence to run riot through the whole system, undermining, weaken- ing, poisoning, breaking down lungs, stomach, heart; impoverishing the blood and injecting into it its virulent impurities; making the system acon- genial soil for the development, of every disease and amore pregnant cause of consumption and Many other diseases than all other influences combined. For the treatmentand cure of all these troubles Drs. Copeland & Thompson believe they have adopted the only correct and scientific method, and the large measure of success which they have at- tained bears them out. Remove the exciting cause and the disease wiil disappear. THE LUNGS AFFECTED. His Parents Were Afraid that He Had Consumption.

When we came here he was avery sick boy, and we bad spent so much money and tried so many physicians that we de- spaired of getting him back to heaith again. *‘*About two months agoa large sore gathered in the roof of his mouth, and, acting on the aavice of friends, we took Arthur tosee Drs. Copeland and Thompson. They immediately diagnosed his case and placed him under treatment. ‘*To-day he isa different child. I never saw any- thing like his cure. You could see the increased brightness in his eyes and the gow of returning health in his cheek day by day. He gradually be- came better, and now he is himself again. **I not only cheerfully recommend Drs. Copeland and Lalas pte tothe public. I,do so with thank- fulness and asa privilege. Ishall be ever grateful to them for the mannerin which they rescued Arthur som & constant condition of illness, painand de- lity. TREATMENT BY MAIL. To the Public: The system of mail treatment pur- sued by Drs. Copeland and Thompson ‘guarantees the same effective results to those who desire to submit their cases through correspondence as to those who come in person. Their **question blank,’’ if properly filed out, will diagnose your case ina thorough way, and, as medicines are promptly shipped, those living out of the city have the same advantages as those whe come to the office. Write for the treatment by mail, MEDICINE FREBR, and rid yourself of the most vainful and annoying disease in the catalogue of human ills. 3 COPELAND MEDICAL INSTITUTE, Oda Feliows’ Building, Rooms 201 and 202, oppo- site Post-office.

New Orleans cleared yesterday 37,000 bu corn for Liverpool. New York reports $2,000,000 in gold to be ex- ported this week. A southerly wind and a cloudless sky betokened a bearish morning. Weather clearing: 68 deg. — Fair; warmer. Fargo, N. D.: Seeding slowly. Acreage will be light from present prospects. Only three flour mills are poseing out of all locat- ed here and in Hast St. Louis Latest cables are said to being a denial of the Rus- rian removal of the export oceans ‘The strike of English spinners’ employes, it is re- tted, is settlea, and work wiil be resumed Mon- ay.

He has calied the weather this spring as though he could read the future. MAmong the private cables received was one report- ing crops in Belgium, Holland and Germany as look- ing puorly in umseasonable weatier. Frank Dunn of Chicago indulges in ‘‘persifiage’’ when he states that spring wheat ig protectedin Northern Minnesota By eleven inches of snow. All restrictions in the exportof grain, wheat, corn and oats from Russia will be removed on May 2 27. So states a private cable to tingham of New Yor The total amount of wheat in bond in veel a month ago was 15,758,000 bu, against 21,392,000 bu the firstoftheyear. About two-thirds of the supply was in Marseilies, The Kansas State Crop report places the condition of winter wheat on May 1 at 88 against 85 on April 1, and of spring wheat at 92, with an increase of acre- age in latter of 30 per cert, or 197, acres. A good demand for wh@at cargoes for shipment on passage is reported by London cables and white wheat 3d higher. This demand comes from France, eo the increased import duty goes into effect on une A report from 8t. Petersburg says that the condi- tion of the winter cereals in the district of the South- western Railway is excellent. Along the tine 5,000,- 000 poods of wheat and barley are stored and offered for sale. Casseiton, N. D.: Séason cold, backward, wet. Heavy snowstorm and rain to-day will delay seeding four to six days. Much plowing todo. Seeding one- fifth done. Acreage cannot exceed 60 per cent last ear. This applies to North Dakota and Northern inhesota. Last month the @xports from New Orleans were 1,718,443 bu wheat, 1,801,555 bu corn and 55,205 bu rye, an inclease over corres rirw week last ear of 1, 331,497 bu wheat and 414 3 bu corn. he larger proportion of wheat ‘went to Antwerp and of corn to Rouen. That well known crop expert, Col. Jim Carroll, after an extended trip throtigh the West, is of the opinion that the oat acreage will be reduced fully 50 percent. Thereis, he says, plenty of time yet to get corh in and the crop will be planted by the 20th in Kansas, and wheat in that State is looking splendid, A farmer in Cheyenne County. the northwest éx- treme of Kansas, and rdering on Nebraska and Colorado, writes he has all his small grain in, having this spring seeded 160 acres in spring wheat, 100 in oats, 10 in barley and 15in rye, and wil! put in 80 to 100 acresinecorn. This indicates seeding is going on, notwithstanding the late wet weather. Prime’s report, May 5.—All the conditions, name- ly excessive moisture of a damaging character. which I have reported ever since the lst inst. , still continues. ¢Kansas and Missouri seen to have been so far excepted from these terrible down-pourings of rain, to whichI have just referred. doubt very much from reports [have received that there has heen ah acre of land plowed or planted this week. There has been no change in winter wheat crop for a week atleast. Theseeding inthe Upper Red River Valiey is 6né month later than last year. The crop is in. great danger, when seeded of being caught by early frost and not one- fifth of the crop has been seeded yét Taking the situation asa whole the pros oe in this aeeecee of spring wheat beit are bad. rts from Southern Minnesota anu South Dakota show that they will need no more rain beforedune. The corn situation so far as plowing and planting is concerned is 6v6n worsé than it was at this time last week. Nothing definite can be said yet with regard to condition of the oats until the ground settles ana Water runs off. Reuter’s Agéncy gays: ‘St. Petersburg, Sates —It is semi officially announced that the reports lished abroad concetning thé ¢rop prospects in ‘ee sia must not be ftegarded as prthentic, inasmuch as trustworthy information onthis subject will not be forthcoming for ebout another fortnight. Kven the reports which have reached the Gov- ernment are incomplete and all the communi- cations hitherto made by newspaper correspondents concerning the state of the crops are declared to be merely based on Gonjecture. It may, however, be regarded as a fact that in certain (listricts the eondl- tion of the cropsisvéry good. On the other hand, there are some localities, as for instance the Gov- ernment of Khereaay, where the crops have been dé- stroyed by drought. The London Evening ~y Dornbusch) of Aprti 22 in its weekly review of t ritish grain trade says farm work in ep oe is stil unusually backwa for thetime of year and there is a considerable breadth still to be soWi with barley and oats, The autumn sown wheats are Seeciating and in some cou unties ithas been deemed expedient to replace em With spting wheat; 46 previously mentionea the area under wheatis probably the smaliest ever recorded in thig country.

KRALL IF HE HAS TO WAIT FIFTY YEARS. He Will Whip the Professor Anyhow, Even tf He Don’t Have to Wait That Long—The Mannual Training School Student Airs His Troubles With His Instructor—The Challenge. Those parties who were fortunate enough to have atip onthe duelthat was proposed by William Bleyer to his teacher, George W. Krallof the Manual aining School, loafed around Locust and Twenty-ninth street yes- terday afternoon waiting for the participants to come together, were cruelly disappointed when they learned thatthe professor had shown the white feather, and the whole affai had been made public in the Post-DIs- PATCH. The scenes of a _ blood-painted moon, a dying professor and a wounded stu- dent vanished from their mind and they returned to their respective homes, feeling very sore over their disappointment, The young man in the-case, William Bleyer, called at the Post-DIsPATCH Office this morn- ing with blood in his eyes, his muscles aching with strength and spoiling for a fight with his teacher, Pror. Krall, because of the ver- sion he gave of the little affair that has given him so much notoriety. Bleyer, who is quite a handsome and very intelligent young man, gives his side of the story in the following manner: STUDENT BLEYER EXPLAINS. ‘*‘T have been a student of the Manual Training School for three years and have made a good record, and the school is an ex- cellent one, by the way, but asI wasin Europe last yearI did not return in time to enter schooi until October, necessarily throwing me a month behind with my studies. I worked very diligently and made up lost time, but when my grade was re- ceived in February I was given no credit for extra work and I took no more interest in my studies. This is exactly the reason and no other. I became indifferent, I will admit, as mv teacherhadit in for me and I was aware that I could not accom. plish anything and I took no interest in my work. Our first serious trouble occurred on Friday of last week when Mr. Krall—we never call hima protessor—accused me of makinganojse. I denied it and one word bringing on another he told me to leave the room and take my book with me. I would not take my book out ofthe room and we had a scuffle inthe school room in which I never came out second best. As to the students ‘guying’ me, it is all bosh and Krall knows it.’’ After leaving the school young Bleyer felt as if his honor had beed tampered with and atter meditating over it,on Tuesday of this week he addressed the following letter to his superior: THE CHALLENGE. To George W. Krail: ST. Lovis, Mo., 4-3, '92. You will greatly oblige me by meeting me at Twenty-ninth and Locust streets on Thursday after- noon, the 5th, at which place you will have an op- seaman d to handie*’me as you tried to do last Friday. f you consider yourself anything more than a d—d coward you will not fail to meet me atthe appointed piace and specified time. Wn. BLEYER. ‘*You will see by the letter, the above of which is a copy as near as I can remember it does not contain all the biood and thunder that fellow would have the PostT-DISPATCH believe,’’ said young Bleyer as he roiledup his sleeves and felt his museles. ‘‘One thing is dead certain,’’ contiuged Bleyer, ‘‘it isa good thing Krall showed the white feather, forifhe had come to time, I would have thrashed him to within an inch of his life, and I willdo it yet if I have to wait fifty years.’’ Bleyer denies that he was armed or had any intention of fighting a duel, while he says he would just as soon do it as not. On this particular occasion his main object was to flog the professor to the best or his ability, which he claims he can do, even though he is a ‘‘bit of a lad.’’ ——s “THE LOSS OF WEALTH is loss of dirt, AS sages In all times assert; The happy man’s without a shirt.’’ But needn’t be long if he watches his chance and picks up one of the bargains con- stantly offered in the PosT- DISPATCH. He may even sport a diamond pin on its snowy front, if quick to see and act. REAL ESTATE INTERESTS. Sales of Market Street Business Property Residence Sites—Auctions. A sale of the two-story business and tene- ment property, numbered 1016, 1018 and 1020 Market street, was effected to-day by D. B. Brennan for Mrs. Catherine Woerstendieck to J. Vette. The premises, having a frontage of 60 by adepthof 135 feet, are renting for $2,400 a year; $31,000 was the consideration. In view of the enehancing value of Markeg street property this is certainly a very good purchase. The corner of Seventh and Market was sold this year at $1,000 a_ foot and the southwest corner of Eighth changed ownership lately at the same price. On the 7th of last month the premises num- ee 1005 Market were sold on a basis of $600 a foot. Mr. D. B. Brennan also reports a sale of the six-room brick dwelling and 50x130 feet of ground at No. 2009 Eugenia street for $4,600, from M. McDonald to Peter Greiten. FANCY PROPERTY AT AUCTION, There will be an opportunity to-morrow to buy, at its market value, some of the choicest unimproved business and residence property inthe West End. The ground will be sold at auction upon the premises commencing at 2 o’clock p.m. Itisright in the heart of the great and prosperous West End section, where better prices are obtained and where more building improvements are in progress than in any other section ofthecity. Grand avenue is already the great West End busi- ness street, and its importance in that re- spect grows constantly. On this business thoroughfare there is a frontage of 3884 feet to be sold _ be- tween Laclede avenue and Forest Park boulevard, two very prominent highways leading out to the finest park in the city. This Grand avenue property has long been highly appreciated for its business value, the northeast corner of Lindell having been sold at $500 a foot three years ago to Louls Sambu. cetti. Laclede avenue is a fine residence street, and Forest Park boulevard is becom- ingone of the handsomest home streets in the city. On Laclede avenue, west of Grand, ‘fourteen lots of 6560x185 feet, extending toa fifteen-foot alley, are to be soldto the high- est bidder, and on Forest Park boulevard there are fifteen more residence lots of about equal dimensions extending back tothe alley. All this ated hf commands an elevated pos!i- tion at established grade which makes it all the more desirable, and its proximify to electric and railway trunk lines enhance its value also. Hammett-Anderson-Wade will conduct the sale. OFFICE SALES.

It seems nat- ural for some people to re- fer back to what they ‘*have been’? — at least, if you don’t know what they have been. They try to cover up present deficiencies by ‘‘looming’’ up the past. Do you know any clothing men of the same kind, who are always quoting the ‘thas-been’”’ prices? Was so much—is now so much --will be back to so much again? Take a familiar ex- ample: Suits which were $20, $25 and $30 are now $12, $15 and $18; will be put back to regular prices in a few days. Suppose such a statement to be the truth,would you ever think of buying goods from any merchant who made such a profit as that? But the truth is they are making big prof- its at the reduced (so called) prices. Come right here and see our better Suits, on which we have made no reduction.

Pope Yeaman in Paris, Mo.—A Clear- Headed Speech on the Tariff and Money Questions—He Is Fighting for Princi- dles—A Temperate Appeal to Thinking Men. Paris, Mo., May 6.—A iarge audience, composed largely of farmers, greeted the Jion. Pope Yeaman to-day arid listened to a very able presentation of Democratic doc- trine. Mr. Yeaman did -not Indulgein per- sonalities, nor did he push his own claims to the office to which he aspires. His speech, which was a thoughtful and clear exposition _ Of principle, was well received and created a _ Very favorable impression. It was mainly confined to the tariff, witha very brief refer- ence to the money question, The speech is as follows: THE SPEECH, FELLOW CITIZENsS—I have ‘been introduced to you by your distinguished chairman asa Candidate for Governor of Missouri. I should insincere were I to affect indifference to the attitude in which Ihave been presented toyou., Yet, itis but little that I shall have to say of myself. If Il donot misinterpret my own state of mind, I am more concerned for rinciples and for the conditions of the coun- ry than I am about my personal aspirations. Believing, as ldo, that the geneial weltare— the common good—is conditioned upon the triumph of the Democratic party, I feel more inclined to devote this hour to calling your attention totopics of more worth than the personal ambitionsof myselfor any other inan. , 1 would not presume to aspire to the Chief Magistracy of this great State did I not feel assured cf my competency to the discharge of the duties and equal to the responsibilities of the place. The position, like all public offices, is a ‘‘public trust,’’ nota private ad- Vantage. The duties of the Governor are executive and ministerial. These duties are clearly defined by the constitution and Statutesofthe State. Itisforyou, the people, to decide who shall perform those duties. A man’s business pursuitis very much the result of circumstances, sometimes of taste. But every honest vocation is a factor of civil- ization. The mechanic, the laborer, the miner, the farmer, the lawyer, the mer- chant,the banker, the manufacturer, the teacher, the artist, the musician—all are alike essential toa progressive and prosper- ous social condition. ‘vhe spirit of democ- racy is ‘‘equal and exact justice toall men’’ and *‘equal rights toall but exclusive privi- legestonone.’’ Withoutthe prevalence of these principles there can be no satisfactory social order or generai prosperity. Trade, commerce, transportation—indeed nll the chief occupations of civilization, could hardly exist, if at all, without agri- culture. A BIT OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT. But if all men were farmers, what would each farmer do with his surplus products? We could have no business transactions, but those of the narrowest and most primitive conditions of life. We would barter, as necessity or taste might suggest, a pig fora lamb, or a calf for a colt, or potatoes for apples, or corn for wheat. ALL VOCATIONS ARE NECESSARY. We would not have the various vocations of life if there were no demands forthem. They aArethe outgrowth of social necessities. ‘To live and to let live is democratic. We need towns and cities. They have al- Ways existed, because they have always been anecessity. Theconditions of civilized life create independence. We are helpers to- wether. Each division of society needs the other divisions. - {befarmer needs the mechanic mechanic needs the farmer. The merchant andthe farmer are co-workers. The ralil- roads can’t get on without the farmer, and the farmer finds the railroad quite a conven!- ence—only let the farmer see that the rail- roads keep the brakes downinthe matter of transportation tariffs. This can be done. And tien let the farmer be wide awake to see to Xe the railroads pay thelr just propor- and the tio ft State taxes. This must be done. Demotracy means the general welfare, the happiness and prosperity of all the people. The well-being of one part helps the pros- perity of the whole. WHAT IS THE MATTER WIT! THE FARMER? But the farmer is hindered in bis business. Thisistrue. So is the mechanic; soisthe laborer, and as a consequence the merchant andthetrader suffer. What is the matter? Where and what isthe remedy’? May I ven. ture toanswer these questions? Come with me for a while, fellow citizens, iet us ieason together. What is the matter that the farmer not as prosperous as once he was’? Certainly he is not. I can remember when the farmer in good old Kentucky was a mopney-loaner. Now in Ken- tucky, as in Missouri, he is a money-bor- rower, a payer of interest. His home is mortgaged. It takes nearly allthe surplus of farm product to pay interest and taxes. Why is this’ First, the Federal government is tax- ing us beyond all reason and good conscience. Taxing us! How? No United states Assessor comes to assess ourtland or farm'implements, or soll product or live stock. No Federal revenue collector calis uponus for payment oftaxes. Oh! no. Notthbat. But we are taxedallthe same. Taxed by the Federal Government, Of course we as intelligent citizens and honest men know that the expenses of the Government have to be paid, and that the people must pay them, and we are willing to uoit, but we know that we ought not to be required to pay more than the necessities of Government economically administered require. But more than this is exacted of us. For what’ For protection to rivileged classes; for founding and foster- ng monopolies ; for paying enormous pension appropriations, and this to many who never Smelt gunpowder or sawa regiment in our late family complications. Seconaly. The farmer its hindered by the interference and interruption of commerce by the prohibitive operation of the existing tarit?system. The exportation of surplus is practically cut off by the imposition of heavy duties upon importations. We all know that active trade and heavy commerce make times easy and prosperous. We further know that competion is the life ot tradeand that when competition is cut off there must be a faliing off of the benefits of trade, except as to tive few who are given anadvantage by prohibitive measures. Ifour markets were opened up tothe world the world’s markets would be opened to us; commerce would be restored to a natural basis and to the opera- tion of natural laws. It is impossible to artificially improve the conditions of com- merce suggested by the relation and necess!t- ties of peoples. Business methods forced by the artificial regulations of law must, in the nature of the case, operate tothe disadvan- tage of those whocreate commodities. Free trade means unrestricted commerce. The American system of tariffs by shutting us outfromthe markets of tlie world does dis- criminate against this class of wealth- is ers. Itis understood by us all that we must raise revenues for the expense of yovern- ment by some process, and for the time pres- entatariff_for revenue may be the simplest and most acceptable plan. But even by this method the tax should be levied upon those rtations not included with the neces- saries of life, and should not operate asa prohibition of free competition. Thirdly. The so-called protective tariff creates and fosters privilewed classes, and powertul monopolies, resulting in the con- centration and localization of capital, put- ting ths conditions of trade and commerce at the dictum: of a few to the detriment of the But ithas no The individual ought !

Under this finanolal system business “would take care of itself. en would be sperous just in proportion to individual ability to improve present op- pcrtunities.. General adversity would come only when conditions made it inevitable. THE REMEDY. To remedy existing ‘evils it is manifest that: We must undothe wrongs that come from wrong legislation. We must remove froia our statutes all laws that are at once oppressive and obstructive, and supplant them by such simple legislation as can guard and protect natural methods of business, The tendency of republican legislation is to artificialism. This tendency must be resisted and overcome, It is folly—nay, worse than folly—to im- agine that the Executive of State can change the business condition of the people. The Governor can do no more than execute the laws asthey are, and make recommenda- tions to the Legislature of such legislation as in his judgment is demanded by existingcon- ditions, and even then he is powerless with- out legislative concurrence. DUTY OF DEMOCRATS. Our only hope is in the Democratic party. There are those among our people who insist that neither of the o!d parties will bring re- lief tothe country. Of course the Republican party willnot. It is the author of our woes and revels in itsiniquity. The Democratic party has had no opportunity to bring relief. It has never been tn control of tne legislative and executive departments of Government at any one time since the war. What we want is a full Democratic Congress and a Democratic administration to co-operate with it. Then if relief does not come it will be time enough to think of other expedients., The Democratic party is the party. of the peop.e.., RUSSIAN OPPRESSION, An Exiled Jewes:s Adds Another Page to the Black Chapter. New YorkK, May 6.—The Immigration Bu- reauis not a portal through which hand- some, well-dressel voyagers to this land are wont toemerge, and one of the registry clerks yesterday was considerably surprised whenthe stream of tawdry poor filing be- fore his desk was broken by a tastily attired young woman who gave her name as Nadeschda Vassielieff. When the clerk asked what language the fair stranger could speak, he was surprised to hear that she was famillar with all the principal languages of Europe. Her subse- quent conversation showed that she was well educated and a woman of refinement. She had no difficulty in gaining admission to America. She said that she was going to join friends in Chicago. She isa Russian Jewess and one of the many thousands of herrace who have been forced to leave theirhomes in Russta to seek an asylum on more hospitable Jands. Her story Is of a piece with the stories told by the other exiles who have preceded her—only she has the ability totellit better. so much of it as could be told during the passage of the fer- ryboat from Ellis Island to the mainland was related to a Times reporter. Miss Vasselieff was born in]Moscow and edu- cated in St. Petersburg. Much care and money were expended by her fainily to secure her a fine education, anu she studied hard in order to fit herself for the vocation of teacher, so as to become a support for her family, who had exhausted all their means for this pur- pose. When her education was com pleted she returned to Moscow, Then ber trials began. Firstshe was not d4l- lowed toteach, and when she remonstrated against the mandate she received a call from the Chief of Police, who ordered her to leave Russia without delay. She appealed to. the Governor of the city and was granted a short reprieve... At-.its expiration..canic a per emptory orderto leave the domain of the Czar. Theresult ofa protest was an intima- tion that there were two ways of leaving the country open to her, one by way of a train which took exiles to the frontier and the other with a caravan to Siberia. she, of course, chose the former, and departed in company with 1,500 families who had the same alternatives to choose trom. ‘This was in the month of February and the day was bitter cold. The cars into which the exiles were packed contained no seats and were so crowded that no one could sit down, ‘*Picture, if youcan,’’ said Miss Vassielieff, ‘the horrors of that ride. From moraing until 3 o’clock the next afternoon we stood like cattle in that densely crowded car with- out food, waterorsleep. Even yet it seems like a nightmare, andl wonder how we did it. ‘*The car finally made a halt ata little vil- age near the frontier and we were trans- ferred toanothertrain, which was provided with seats. Ilsank into one, and at that very moment all my cares and troubles left me at once, so great was my exhaustion and need of rest.’’ After many trials Miss Vassielieff reached Warsaw, where she took passage for London, and there embarked for this port. + The condition of the peasantry Miss Vassielleff de- scribes as one of frightful misery. One ofthe cases she instanced was that of a poor widow who had been self-supporting until one day her little brood of five children were taken sick. She struggled on as best she could, but was finally driven to mendicancy. At the first house at which she applied she fell faint- ing on the doorsteps and was unable to tell her wants. When she had been revived and given something to eat, she returned to find three of her children dead from starvation. ‘‘More than half of the peasantry,’’ added Miss Vassielleff, ‘‘are on the verge of starva- tion, and { could number a thousand in- stances like this if time permitted. ’’ SAID TO BE IN ST. LOUIS. Wilburn F. Culver, £t. Joseph’s Missing Librarian, Said to Be in St. Louis. Wilburn L, Culver, the young lawyer and librarian whose disappearance caused such a decided sensation in St. Joseph social circles, is said to be hiding in st. Touis. Wis acquaintances here are all of that opinion, and from the tone of thelr conversation it is more than likely that he will not be the only hasty visitor we will have from the home of Missouri’s milllonaires. Hints ofa deserted sweetheart and an avenging brother camping on Cuiver’s trall are current talk. A gentleman who resided in St. Joe up to last November, now a resident of this city, said this morning in his office in the Yurner building that Culver, as far as he knew, was in a peck of trouble witha St. Joe society belle and fied to escape the sensa- tional developments that a few days would now bringtolight. When pressed for closer particulars ani the names of parties, he re- i1used to answer. The readers of the Post-DISPATCH will re- member that last August a young lady of quite a respectable St. Joseph family was found dead in bed with her lower in a little town In Iowa, she being before her death superintendent of the St. Joseph library. Culver was ap- pointed to succeed her, The appointment surrounded him with the best society of the town, and he had the reputation of a high tiyer In society circles, as wellas a Cigarette fiend. Fornearly a year past he has read law under Green & Burns, a leading law firm of St. Joseph. and was conelidered quitea bright young man. His unexpected and mys- terious disappearance from St., Joseph has thrown St. Joseph society into wild excite- ment, for, notwithstanding the fact that Culver Janded in that city only two years ago from Pennsylvania, he was considered one of the society leaders of the city, Indications.

STRICKER’S HOBBY. The St. Louis Captain Infatuated With Sacrifice Hitting. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THAT STYLE OF BATTING. Ls It Probably Lost Yesterday’s Game to St. Louis—The Fair Grounds Management Take Steps to Improve the Quality of Racing at the Track—The Slavin- Jackson Fight—Sporting News, Capt. Stricker of the St. Louis Browns has ahobby. It is sacrifice hitting. Like a great many other things sacrifice hitting isa good thing in moderation, but there is such a thing as overdoing it. When aman gets a hobby he usually rides it to death, and Stricker ap- pears to be no exception to the general rule. Nearly everybody who witnessed yesterday’s game at Sportman’s Park blamed Stricker’s policy of sacrifice hitting for its loss, It may have been doing the St. Louis captain an injustice, butit certainly did look very much as if the Browns threw away their op- portunity to win by persistent attempts to sacrifice. Whenarunis needed and there is a man on base, nobody out and a weak man at the bat it is usually advisable to try fora sacrifice, but with a strong batsman up, it Is far more preferable to let him hit at the ball. Inone inning of yesterday’s game, Glass- cock, who was first man at the bat, reached first, and _ Brodie, who had hit fora home run inthe second inning and seemed to take kindly to King’s delivery, was made to sacrifice. He tried it and struck, Then Caruthers, one of the best hitters in the team, was also made to attempt a sacrifice and also struck out and Bird who followed was put out, leaving Glasscock still on second, At another stage of the game Crooks and Carroll, both good batters, were also made to attempt sacrificés with the same ill- luck, and in fact the club devoted its entire day to attempting to sacrifice by bunting. The crowd became dis- gasted and cried for the men to hit the ball, and finally even began to cheer when the St. Louis players were struck out attempting to bunt. Caruthers isa man who makes a hit on an average of once in every three times at the bat, or at least comes very close to that average. He frequently hits for doubles and triples, too, and almost invariably hits the ball hard enough toadvance a man a base, even though put out himself. That is the only way he can sacrifice. He isa free, dashing hitter and cannot bunt. Itis unnatural for him to batthat way and decidedly awkward and difiicult. With a man to watch on base a pitcher is notapt to beas effective as when there is no one on base, and the batsman’s chances are better. Under such conditions itis always better than an even inoney bet that Oaruthers will either make a base hit ora sacrifice. If he makesa hitit may bea double or triple, and send home a run, besides putting himself on base and leaving the sice without a man out. When a bunt is attempted, the batsmanis almost certain to be put out, and in fact is not expected to reach base himself, and he may not even suc- ceed in advancing a mang base. The philos- | ophy, theretore, of using a cinb’s best bats- men for sacrifice bitters only Is poor. In the several attempts madeat it yesterday not a run was scored, whereas if the men had been allowed to try for base hits there might have been a number of tallies made, NEW YORK WON. Out-flelder Walter Brodie had a chante to distinguish himself inthe seventh inning yesterday, but he failed to takeadvantage of the fact, and the result was St. Louis lost the game. After King had died out at first, Ful- ler cracked out a single and followed itup by stealing second. Gore then lined outa pretty one to Brodie and Fuller thinking that Walter would now get it, started to score; he was on third base when Brodie captured the ball and the out-flelder ought to have completed an easy double by throwing him out at second, but without thinking what he was doing Brodie threw the sphere to Dwyerand the result was Fuller got back to second safely. Ewing then rapped out a single which scored Shorty and Tiernan’s home run scored Ewing and won the contest. Frank Dwyer pitched a good game for the Browns and with the exception of the break mentioned above Brodie’s work both with the stick and in the field was of the ‘*vilt-edged’’ order.

LONDON, May 6.—The Sportsman this morn- ing prints an interview with the Duke of Westminster,in regard to the alleged poison- ing ofOrme. The Duke says he has little hope that the instigator of the poisoning will be discovered, though he thinks the too) may be. Hesays the statement that the amount of insurance in Lloyds against the starting of Orme is £10,000, is an exaggeration, the amount being only £2,00), and that it was this which aroused his suspicion, An inex- eo thing, he sald, wasthe absurd odds hat were being laid against Orme for the Derby, as if provided with gcod health there was little chance that Orme would be beaten. The Duke said he had not seen nor had he wished to see Orme since he was poisoned. He thought that Orme had been robbed of one year of his hfe when he hada chance to make areputation. The Duke added that he never betted; he cared only for the sport. THE BOARD OF APPEALS ADJOURNS.

Moran gave bail fora hearing Saturday morning. The infor- mation was made by Duncan B. Harrison for himselfand company. Moran has been with Sullivan for many years.

When Sul- livan learned of the sult he went to Harrison and induced him to withdraw it. Moran claims there was no. foundation for the charge and that Harrison was angry because he refused to advance him some money from an emergency fund, and also refused to turn over the books of the company.

About 3:45 o’clock this morning, citizens livingin the fashionable block on Lindell avenue, just east of Grand, were awakened from their sleep by the sound of pistol shots, the screams of a woman, the shouts of men and the whirl of carriage wheels and clatter of horses’ hoofs.on the street. From win - dows hastily thrown open, all that could be seen was a cab rapidly disappear- ing in the darkness, pursued by three police officers on foot. The officers were sergt. Johnson and Patrolmen Doherty and W.J. Smith. The carriage, coming eastward at breakneck speed, had passed them as they stood on the corner of Grafid and Lindell avenues, Sergt. Johnson, hearinga woman’s screams from the cab, thought the scene might mean a tragedy, and springing out to the middle of the street he ordered the driver to stop. No attention being paid to his orders, and the cab whirling away rapidly. tergt. Johnson fired nis pistol in air to attract the attention of officers east of the disappear- ing carriage, and then, withthe two patrol- men, set off in pursult. Thecab had turaed the corner of Lindell avenue and went down to Channing with the echoes of three pistol shots from sergt. Johnson’s revolver folltow- ingit. At Channing avenue a wowan jumped from the cab, and at Locust street the driver also sprang to the ground from his box, the runaway team continuing onward to Easton avenue on Channing. When the officers reached the woman, it was found that she was brulsed by her ieap, but not badly hurt. Sherefused at first to give her name, Lut stated finally thet it was Mary Stanley, and that she livedrat No. 2004 Chest- nut street. She safi there had been a man in the carriage with her, who had jumped as soon us the horses began runuing away, tell- ing her also to jump, which she had been afraid to do at first. She refused to give the man’s name, but it is understood that he is a well-known St. Louisan, who had been out painting the su- burbs with the woman. ‘the driver of the cab, which was from the Mound City Coupe Co., was one John ai. Klein, A Charge of fast driving was preferred against him. Private Watchman Guenst states that when the cab passed him on Lindell avenue, west of Grand, the driver was lashing his horses furiously. But little damage was done to the cab by its wild fight. WILL BE GORGEOUS. The Sedalia Flambeau Club Ropresenta- tives Arranging for Their Didplay. J. H. Easley and H. M.

NELSON & MERSMAN, Eighth and Chestnut Sis. SORE THROATS. 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, small- 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 itfreely. If your druggist will not order it for you write to us.

An Entertainment to Raise Funds for a World’s Fair Educational Exhibit. This evening at 8 o’clock in the grand Music Hall of the Exposition the St. Louis Educational Committee of the World’s Fair Display of the Public Schools will give the first of the entertainments, which, it is hoped, will supply funds for the enterprise. The success or fallure of the entertainment is dependent upon the aid of the citizens, because the School Board has no authority to appropriate money for such a purpose. Tickets have been for sale at many stores down town and, in addition, each of the 40,000 puplis of the public schools were given tickets to dispose of. From the start the scheme had the ap- proval of the people and many tickets have been sold. The entertainment will be made up of tableaux illustrative of American history, of musical numbers and calisthenic drills. No fewer than 500 ~=s ladies, gentlemen and girls and boys will participate. The scenery, costumes and grand choruses will be of the highest order of excellence. The tableaux will be managed by Mr. William C. Dyer. The musical pro- gramme has been prepared by Prof. Alfred Robyn. F. E. Bausch will direct the or- chestra, and Mrs, Mary Hogan Ludlum will direct the delsarte . exercises, The pro- gramme is as follows: I. PPO Oink c - acne 6ndbensdenbes set cactoute .

The merry May festival of song’and praise, fun and frolic,which the youth and beauty of the St. Louls Sunday-school Union have held -,. @uring this month for several years at the Fair Grounds, has been abandoned this year - On account of the interloping of the regular racing season.

Butthe abandonment of the festival has been the conception of another celebration, quite different, but far more elaborate. It 'willbe an exposition of the Bible History, and will beheld in the Exposition bulild- ing next Thanksgiving Day or about thattime. Itisthe intention of the union to secure the entire structurs for the oc- casion. The long wide corridors from which the displays of the regular exposition season ll bave been removed, will be filled with a series of Biblical tableaux and representa- tions. The people of the different Bible times, tbeir habits and the most important events in the!r annals, as told in the Bible, will be illustrated. Among dahese representa- tions will be scenes fromthetimes of Abra- ham, the journey ofthe children of Israel, the historical events in the life of Joseph, the career of Moses in Egypt, the erection of the tabernacle in Jerusalem, the coronation of Saul, the government of Israel under the Judyes and incidents in the life of Uhrist. All of these and many more wii! find places inthe corridors and prominent members of the Union will assume the roles of the personages represented. t the same time a Bible instruction school will-‘be in session in the Music Hall. Rev. Joseph Cook of Boston, Rev. Dr. Talmage ol Brooklyn, Prof. W. Q. Harper of Chicago and several other prominent biblical scholars of the country, will deliver instructions and lectures in the Music Hall. er oe ah ere ant “-- vi 4 oe | eee ) Don’t Come in Through , WE ARE STRONG WITH THE PEOPLE. st Matin cla Don't Get Mad About It. eee ee owe word with When you catch sight of our them.

Secretary Mohler Says the Conditions Are Encouraging. TOPEKA, Kan., May 6.—In his monthly crop report issued to-day, Secretary Mohler of the’ State Board of Agriculture says that*the con- ditions are encouraging, notwithstanding the fact that the weather has been unfavora- ble to the prosecution ot farming work and the development of plant life. The soil, says the report, is in excellent condition for rapid growth when warm weather comes. The cold, rainy weather has greatly delayed planting and will cause a late crop. ‘he condition of winter .wheat has improved from 85 to 88 percent. The acreage sown to spring wheat was increased 30 per cent, with a total acreage of 197,496 acres. ‘The condl- tion of the cropis 92 percent. The acreage sown to oats is the sgme as last year, with condition good. Corn planting has been de- layed, so that only about 45 percent of the crop has been put in. Reading Offering Hush Money. \.
