Prrrapvre, Pa., July 23.—Henry Olay Frick, Chairman of the Carnegie Steel Co., was to-day shot down in his office by a slender, smooth-faced youth who says he came from New York especially on a mission to kill. Hesays he is a Russian Hebrew, a printer and cigarmaker and that he hoped to kill Mr. Frick in order to save working- men all over the world. The attempt was almost successful. Two bullets lodged in Mr. Frick’s neck. These were supplemented by a knife. Mr. Frick received two deep thrustsinhis back near the waist which are more serious than the bullet wounds. His condition is dangerous, but the docturs think: he will re- cover. Here is the story of the attempted assassi- nation more completely told than was possi. dle in the telegrams to the evening editors of the Post-DisPaTcH: On Friday afternoon a smooth-faced young man entered the general offices of the Carnegie Steel Co. The Car- negie Co. occupies the second, third and sixth floors of the building at No. 42 Fifth avenue. The offices of the Chairman are on the second floor, At the head of the stairs leading up from the street isa door entering upon the general office of the Chairman. There is a railing extending the whole Jength of the room, which prevents visitors from trespassing upon the clerks until they make known their business. Directly oppo- site the entrance is the desk of Miss Fleming, the stenogrupher, and next to her is the desk of A. Hames, also a stenographer. The third desk is that of H. J. Lindsay, Mr. Frick’s pri- vate secretary. Directly in front of this large office, and leading off from it, is the private office of Mr. Frick. It is a room about fifteen feet long and twelve feet wide. There are three large windows in the front which swingon center pins on the top and bottom. Mr. Frick’s desk isa large, flat table-desk. He sits so that his left hand is nearest the entrance. When the young man entered the office yes- terday he was stopped by the office-boy, Harry Heckler, a youth of 15, who asked who he was and who he wanted to see. The young man replied that he wished to see Mr. Frick on private business. He was asked for his careand he wrote out his name, Alexander Berkman, on a slip of paper, which the office boy carried to Mr. Frick. From the time the Homestead trouble first started Mr. Frick has taken no special pre- cautions to keep strange visitors away from him. Any one going there, sending in his card and saying that he wanted to see Mr. Frick on a private matter has usually been admitted to the private office, unless Mr. Frick was too busy to see him, without further questioning. THE ASSASSIN’S FIRST VISIT. When the young man called yesterday the office boy returned and said that Mr. Frick was engaged and directed the visitor to see Mr. Lindsay. The visitor passed through the railing gate to Mr. Lindsay’s desk. He was asked his business. He replied that he rep- resented a New York employment agency and that he must see Mr. Frick per- sonally. His appearance and manner aroused the curiosity of Mr. Lindsay. He was dressed in anew suit of gray clothes, and he had the appearance of a man who bad dressed himself for the special occasion. He had high cheek bones and a thin face and thick rei lips. His face was ghastly white; his hair waxy and almost colorless. He re- mained in the office buta few minutes and then passed out. David Fortney noticed the man as he passed out. He remembers that he rode up and down the elevator several times that . day, and his appearance and manner caused him to speculate as to who he was. It was about 1:30 this afternoon that the same young man came to the office of the company. The elevator boy says he was there several times befere in the morning. Those in the office do not remember seeing him there. He sent in his card as he had on the day before, saying that his business was of a rivate nature. Again the office boy brought ck word that Mr, Frick was too busy to see him and directed that he talk to Mr, Lindsay. While the office boy was in Mr. Frick’s room, Mr. Lindsay stepped out of the office. The visitor walked to his desk, and not finding him there, he returned to his seat outside or the ralling. He sat there quietly for several minutes until J. G. Leishman, the Vice-Chairman of the Cargenie steel Co., walked through the eneral office into Mr. Frick’s private office. ir. Leishman had scarcely seated himself opposite Mr. Frick when Berkman followed him into the room. NOT A WORD OF WARNING. Not a word did he utter, not one sound came from his thick lips. As the swinging doar closed behind him he drew a revolver. As soon as it was on a line with Mr. Frick's bead he pulled the trigger. He stood scarce- ly four feet from where Mr. Frick wassitting. A spurt of blood from the neck showed where the bullet had struck. Again came the spurt ot blood from the neck and a third time he tried to fire. Mr. Leishman sprang upon him and threw up hishand. The bullet sped upward tothe celiing. Mr. Frick was half dazed for a mo- ment, then he sprang upon the assassin and threw himto the floor. Mr. Leishman had knocked the revolver from Berkman’s hand and Mr. Frick threw himself upon him. The young man drew a long knife,a clumsy, wicked, home-made affair. is hand shot outward and the Knife gashed into Mr. Frick’s _ Bide just above the hip. The fight between the pauper Anarchist andthe millionaire lasted scarcely five sec- onds, but in that time Mr. Frick received two stabs from the knife. Mr. Ames ran in and pulled Berkman 8 Mr. Frick stag- red to the window, half opened it and shouted weakly for the police. Then he down fainting from the loss of blood. There was a little German carpenter at work in the large office. He ran in the room with his hammer in his hand and raised it to strike Berkman over the head. Mr. Frick called out, Don't kill him, let the police take care of him.’’ The clerks carried Mr. Frick back’ into Mr. Leishman’s office. Dr. John Littlefield was summoned ndina few minutes more fsiciaos there. The little hit the assassin with the listrike him in the stom- hich made the young man taken to the elevator two policemen arrived. as U there was nothing to trouble him. r * He smiled at the MOTIVE FOR THE DEFD. When asked why he tried to kill Mr. Frick he laughed and said, ‘*i guess you know wux.““ He was taken to the Central Police Station in an ambulance. There Berkman seemed rather bored by the proceedings. He was locked up in a cell, and er At ea wa him, st he looked at the Sergeant scorn- fully; after awhile he said his names was Alexander Berkman and that he is 21 years old. He said thathe lived at Forty-second street, New York. The most persistent q would not make him give a number, e gave his occupation as that of a printer. He was anxious to withhold his nationality at first, but after awhile he said: was born in St. Petersburg; lama Russian Jew and lam proud of it.“ On the way tothe station it was noticea that he had somethingin his mouth, which he seemed to chew rsistently and try to bite pretty hard. The policemen asked him what it was. He refused to tell them. At the station, when he was questioned, he thrust it far back in his mouth. When he was searched this was forced out of his mouth. It was found to be asmall dyna- mite cartridge, similar to the one with which Anarchist Lingg blew off his head just before he was to have been hanged in Chicago. The discovery of this cartridge was the only thing which troubled the young man. The suit which he wore was a cheap gray one which he bought yesterday ina clothing store in Pittsburg. His straw hat had the trade mark inside of ‘‘Magule, No. 72 Stanton street, New Tork.“ All the money he had was 5 cents. In his pockets were found a plated silver cigarette box, a cheap plated silver watch, some small pieces of candy and thirteen 388-caliber cart- ridges, which fitted the fine revolver with which he shot Mr. Frick. BERKMAN DISCLOSES HIS PURPOSE. When a Post-DISPATCH reporter saw Berk- man late in the afternoon he would say but little. He speaks withan acrent, but he speaks fluentiy. Heis evidently a man of some education. His calmness and non chalance did not seem the result of an effort on his part; they seem perfectly natural. He said he had been in this country for five and one-half years, and that he spent most of that time in New York. F. C. Frick. [Manager of the Carnegie Steel Co., Limited ] He had been both a eigar- maker and a printer. Until recently he said he had been employed as acompositorona paper in New York. He would not tell with whom he had been associated. He said that he was not married but he could not be induced to tell where he lived. M hen did you come to Pittsburg?’’ he was asked. J arrived in Pittsburg on-Tharsday after- noon ; I came here directly from New York.’’ What was your purpose in coming to Pittsburg?’’ **] came here to kill H. C. Frick.“ And you had no other reason for coming here?’’ That was all I came for.“ **Who sent you here?“ **No one,’’ “Did you tellany one that you were com- No, I didnot. Nooneknew ofitexcept my self. I made up my mind it had to be done and I was chosen to doit.“ ‘*Why did you want to kill Mr. Frick?’’ wanted to kill him that I might save and help the great army of workmen allover the world. I did not come here for any associ- ation or as a representative cf organized labor. I shot him simply as an individual.“ The doctors say he will not die; are you glad of that? No, Iam not. Icame here to kill that man Frick. [am maa with anger to think Iwas not more successful. But may be he will die after all. I hope he will,’’ „He lighted a cigarette and puffed it furiously fora few minutes, and then he be- came as cool and calm as he was before. He paced slowly up and down the narrow ceil, He took off his coat and said it was warm. Aas stated above when Berkman was searched on his arrival at the station, a small dynamite cartridge was found in his vest pocket. MEANT TO IMITATE LINGG. About 40’ciock he wastaken from his cell, to the gymnasium where four photographs were taken of him in as many positions. On his return to the cell, Supt. O’Mara in- structed him to entirely disrobe, in order that his body might be examined for scars and blemishes,that they might be noted for identification. was concluded, he was ordered to open his mouth, but instead he set his teeth firmly. The order was repeated, but with the same result, The Superintendent attempted to force the jaws of the prisoner open with his fingers, but finding this impos- sible, he asked the assistance of Dr. Moyer who was standing by and between the twoof them the fellow’s mouth was pried open with a tablespoon. It was seen that he had some- thing inside. He was told to spit it out. He refused. The tables poon was again brought into play, and after some difficulty a dyna- mite cartridge similar to the one found in his vest was taken from : It was at once submitted ‘to Arthur Kirk, an expert on explosives, who pronounced it the identical kind of a bomb cartridge used by Louis Lingg, the Chicago affarchist, When he committed suicide in the county jail while | awaiting execution for complicity in the Haymarket massacre. It contained enough dynamite, he said, not only to blow 4 0 Iimmedi- it to pieces, but those in his it man exploding kill or maim ate vicinity and was supposed to explode from the prick of a pin or the bite | ot a tooth. Someimperfectionin its manu- facture, however, had madeitof no effect. After this report had been roaceived it was re- membered that the elevator man in the Car- negie building had noticed the prisoner ner- vously moving his teeth after the trageuy, and that he was also noticed to be grind. ing his molars after being brought to the central station. From this it appeared to be clearly evident that it was the prisoner’s in- tention after killing or maiming his victim to blow his own head offand he was only pre- vented by a defect inthe cartridge from car- rying out this design. He has been givena suit of prison clothes in place of his own gar- ments, and shortly afterwards was ident- fied by the night clerk of the Merchants’ Hotel as having stopped at that place last night under the name of Simon Backman. FRICK’S GREAT NERVE. It was six hours to the minute from the time the first shot was heardto his removal fromthe blood stained officeto the ambu- lance in waiting, and allo! this time, al- though suffering intense agony, while the corps of surgeons examined and operated upon his wounds, he maintained his self- ssession. ne surgeons were anxious that he would be put under the influence of chioroform, but he protested, and while ogg | were probing for the balls he gave many hints and sux- estions as to where they would be likely to Hundreds of his business and m d t „and — 4 clerk, he instructed — Wald bring them in, persuading the doc- up, although this acce „ he attached his sig various sheets, Then he was rgt.

He then ex- 2 a desire to be removed to his home. had B requested that his wife, who is delicate health, should not be brought to the office, and his sister, who was one of the early arrivais, was kindly, but firmly, requested to refrain from indulging in any hysterical show of emotion. The ambulance from Mercy Hospital was summonedand the patient was geatly car- ried down-stajrsona cot. He was covered with blankets and with bandages that swathed his head and face; his two eyes peeped with what seemed to be a half amused expression. As he passed Inspector of Police Sylvus,who was at the front door of the build ing in command of a squad of officers, he glimpsed his eyes in recognition and re- marked: ‘‘I’ll be back on Monday. He was then lifted into the a: surgeons took positions besi tains were drawn, Secretary Lovejoy mounted the seat with the driver and the vehicle was driven rapidly away toward Homewood, A crowd of over 2,000 witnessed the depart- ure, and there were many exclamations of ity and sorrow asthe unfortunate man was ing carried across the sidewalk. Rumors reached the city to-night that a thousand or more of the strikers at Homestead were coming down for the purpose of storming the central station and lynching the Russian, inorder to demonstrate that they had no sympathy with him in his desperate deed. W hile not inclined to take much stock in the report Chief Brown gave orders that the guard atthe station should be doubled and ordered all the reserves to remain on duty. One crime has already been committed.“ he said, and two will not better it. This man is safe in this station and no number of men will be able to get him out. Weare pre- pared for all emergencies.’’ THE DOCTOR’S& STATEMENT. Mr. Frick is resting easy to-night at his magnificent house on Pennsylvania avenue near Homewood, and which the family has occupled but a couple of weeks. His con- dition is not regarded as dangerous and un- less blood poisoning snould sapervene his ultimate recovery is regarded as a certainty. The medical aspect of his case was summed up to-night by Dr. Murdoch, one of the attending surgeons, and a practitioner of international repute, in this form: ‘‘!I am of the opinion that Mr. Frick’s wounds are seri- ous. However, I don’t consider them neces- sarily dangerous. One of the balls entered the left side of the neck and was taken out on the right side. base of the skull. The other ball entered the right side of the neck, near the base of the Skull, took a downward @ourse and was lodged under the left shoulder blade. Both of these balls have heen extracted. He also received two knife wounds, one inthe left side ofthe stomach and another in the left hip. The wounds in the neck are the most serious, but I don’t think any of them will prove fatal. The news of the attack upon Mr. Frick spread rapidly through the city. Five min- utes after the shots were fired the streets were crowded with people who turned their faces upward. They could see figures mov- ing about in Mr. Frick’s office. All day long and far into the night thousands of people flowed to the building and then meited away. the attempted assassination. Striking steel-workers and members of the Amalgamated Association came there and stood about with dark, grim faces. They hate Mr. Frick with an intensity that few people can understand, but they knew better than any one else how this attack upon his life would prejudice the outside world. AS AN EMPLOYE SAW From Harry Heckler, the office/Doy, the fol- lowing account of the tragedy is gleaned: As was his custom, Mr. Frick took iunch at the Duquesne Club at noon to-day and re- turned to his office at 1:30 this afternoon. He went to the fifth floor, where he remained but a few minutes. He then came down the elevator to his privateroom on the second floor, fronting on Fitth.avenue, where he seated himself at his desk. Ihe office of Mr. Leishman, the Secretary of the company, adjoins that of the Cnair- man. Mr. Leishman came in and thetwo held a private conterence, no one else being in the room, A few minutes before 2 o’clock Heckler no- ticed a man hastily push open the swinging gate in the railing that runs. between the public portion and the inclosure where the desks of the stenographers and clerks are located. There was no one near the private office door and the boy hurried up to ask the intruder what he wanted, but | was too late, as the stranger had already en- | tered the private apartmeht. As he entered ithe office Mr. “Frick and Mr. Leish- man looked up to see who it was. | Mr. Frick was examining a bundle of papers. | The man sprang within about five feet of Mr. | Frick and quickly drawing his revolver pulled the trigger. The first cartridge did not explode; the second shot entered the | back of Mr. Frick’s neck, and glancing down- | ¢ ward passed to the outside below the arm- pit. Trick made an exclamationand jumped to the circular window on Fifth avenue and tried in vain to open it. Tae assailant passed nearly in front ofthe firedavain. The bail entered the muscle on the left side of the neck and passed around to a lodgment under the right ear, where it was later reached by the prove. At this instant Mr. Leishman threw him- self on the would-be assassin and wrested for possession of the revolver. Leishman | clutched the barrel and turned the muzzle | upward as the cartridge expioded, the ball entering the plastering near the glass par- ' tition. The desperate man then drew a dagger and attempted to stab Lelshman. Mr. Frick saw the gleam of the steel and, al- though staggered by the shock of the wounds and bleeding profusely, jumped between the men and seized the man’s arm. The latter freed himseif from Leishman’s grasp and plunged the dagger into Frick’s right side, just above the hip, making an ugly wound three inches long. He made another lunge, this time the knife striking higher up, but the point struck a rib and glanced down without inflicting much of an injury. Twice again was the Knife thrust at Frick, but he was merely scratched by these last attempts to | kill him. The struggle was in full view of those on the street. By this time the office boy, and Deputy Sheriff May, who just entered the office as the first shut was fired, threw them selves on the assassin. May had drawn his revolver and was about to shoot the fellow in the back when Frick cried out: Don't kill him. We nave got him allright. Leave him to the law. The man broke away and tried to escape | but was secured and taken to the Central Police station. The prompt action of Mr. Frick saved the lives of Mr. Lelsuman and his self-appointed | executioner. O’DONNELL GREATLY MOVED. While the O’Donnell hearing was in prog- ress report reached the court house that Frick had been shot. The news caused a great sensation. Nearly every one paled at hearing the intelligence and more than one d: This has gone a little too Hugh O'Donnell shook his sadly and seemed appalled at the awful news. It created a gloom throughout the court-room, and even among the people present from Homestead, who had such deep-seated antipathy for Frick, there was not the least sign of exultation. Whether or not they had all heard the news could not be told. Mr. Frick Whitesell, Esq., was walking up Fifth avenue when the shooting occurred. He said: **The first thing that attracted my attention was Mr. Echols standing on the street calling for a policeman. I then glanced up and saw Mr. Frick standing atthe window of his office trying to raise the window. He was not able to raise It. ‘*While he was struggling with it some one in a gray suit seized Mr. Frick and he turned around and grappled withthe man. As Mr, Frick turned to seize his assailant, I noticed a bloody streak on his neck. The two men | disappeared from my sight in the back of- fice. Pretty soon the policeman led the assassin out of the buildiug. Ido not know where, but I have seen that man’s face once before. Mr. John Walker, who is connected with the Carnegie interests, was seen shortly after the shooting. He said: „That man has been loafing around here for several days.

Amongthe first to arrive after the shooting was Chief J. 0. Brown, of the Department of Public Safety. He went to Mr. Frick's room an re · mained there most ofthe afternoon. After this one iron manufacturer after another called. Bankers, brokers, merchants and even workmen called and almost breathlessly asked how Mr. „ The workingmen in particular denounced the act and said it was the act ofacrazy fool anarchist. They one and all expressed themselves as hoping Mr. Frick would recover. Officer McRoberts, who assisted in arrest- ing the man, said: Mr. Frick was standing up when we réached thé room and several of the clerks had the fellow down.onthe fioor bathing him in the blood of the man he attempted to murder. Mr. Frick was one of the bravest fellows lever saw. I don’t really believe he knew he was shot, and when I turned him around I saw he had a big hole in the back of his coat from which blood was streaming.’’ The patient was removed into one of the offices in the rear of the building and seemed to be resting easy. He was perfectly con- scious and recognizes all those admitted to the room. Ex-Judge Reed, counsel for the Carnegie company, and Capt. Rodgers were admitted, and when Frick saw them he smiled. Capt. Rodgers said: Keep up your cour- age, Frick; you are all 5 in * rick smiled and said: Oh, yes, I'll de all right, I guess.’’ Mr. Frick's house is One of the finest in the city. It is located at the East End, at the corner of Homewood and Fifth avenues. W hen the news reached there, beautiful Mrs, Frick was: utterly prostrated. was a babe there who known scarce two weeks of lte, a babe who all his life must bear with him a memory of these troubles. He was born on the day that a New York paper published the extraordinary defense Of Mr. Frick, and the chairman of the Carnegie company named his little son after the editor. The baby boy is the only child in the Frick household, There was another, a tittle girl of 4 years, but she died a year ago. SECRETARY LOVEJOY’S STATEMENT, There wer eno ill effects resulting from the removal, so the doctorgsay. Just after this removal, Secretary Lovejoy issued this state- ment about Mr. Frick: Two shots entered the neck about the One passed out between the shoulders, and the other was removed from the opposite side of the neck. The third ghot missed. There is no evidence that the stab wounds are deep or that they wiil prove dangerous. They are on the right side, one at the lower border of the ribs, the other just below the hip bone. Have no evidence that any of these wounds will prove serious. His condition at present is perfectly satisfactory.“ THE POLICE THEORY. Nearly the whole police force of Pittsburg is working uponthe assassination. The po- | lice theory is that berkEman had a confeder- ate. They have found that he passed Thurs- day night at the Merchants’ Hotel, whichisa cheap hotel of the better class. The regis- hotel showed that only two been written there were Fred Goldstrohm and Simon Bachman. The night clerk was ‘entral Kation and identified the assassin asthe man who called himself Bachman. He went to bed late, leaving an order to be called at 5o*%¢iock. He was called at that hour and went away. The police seem to think that Berkman has five or six cenfederates, and that they were had These names waiting for him on the sidewalk in order to ‘assist him to escape. that the hand of the_ anarchists project- They seemed to think To-night po- s are scouring most of the ed a wholesale slau emen and dete the ~ localities foreigners live, with’ orders any suspicious person. The tact that the searching of Berkwan failed to show any scrap Of paper or anything gn his person er. ‘which might possibly lead to bis identifica- tion, is used as an argument by the police in favor ofthe confederate theor). It is not ‘likely that the man has given nis right name. He told the police thatit was Boreman, he told a PostT-DISPATCH reporter that it was Bergman, and spelled it so that there should be no mistake. Thus far efforts to trace him | have not been successful. BERKMAN SAID TO BE INSANE, To-night a story comes from Greensburg, a town thirty miles east of Pittsburg, where Mr. Frick passed his early life, that Berkman spent several months there last summer. He became A leader among the Polish Jews there who havea colony numbering several hundred, About this time last year, so runs the story, became violently insane, his being to kil every person whom he pad a dislike, A friend took Berkman in charge and per- suaded him to goto New York. This friend says: He becomes insane every year, and ‘his insanity always takes the same murder- ous form.’’ There has been some threatening talk on streets against Berkman. ‘The police authorities have made Arrangements to take care of any outbreak in that direction. The downtown af Pitts. burg is full of special Officers, and there isa special force in reserve at Central Station where Berkman is in confinement. The police again attempted to draw something out of Berkman to-night. They first tried to make him feel wood by giving hima fine dinner. He ate enough to . three men, When he had finished he lighte a cigarette and laughed at them wen they They made him re- they might find something about them and furnished him another. He would not put them on unt they had given him some new underclothing, as they had taken his own from him. HE IS A NIHILIST, WHOSE , MISSION WAS TO MURDER FRICK. NEW Tonk, July 23. — Alexander Berkman’s name does not appear among the enrolled list of printers composing the membership of Typographical Union No. 6, and none of the members of that organization could be found who had known him or even heard of him, Neither does his name appear among the German printers’ union nf New York City. Secretary Hugo Miller, of the International German Union, was seen by a reporter. Inever met Alex- ander Berkman, he said, but I know of him. He worked in the composing room of the Freikeit, Herr Most’s paper, as an apprentice learning the trade ofa printer. He was not a member of the anion and there wasakick about his being employed in the office. Soon after this he disappeared and I don’t know what became of tim. 1 knew nothing of his personal habits, nor residence or family connections. I think he first appeared in New York about ft ago. ero bey in fhe office of the Freiheit, the office of which is on_ the top floor of No. 167 William street, who did not care to have his name made public, said he knew Berkman very well when he worked in the office. According to the composing room books. said the Freiheit printer, ‘‘Berkman was employed there from April 8 to Julv 4, 1891. He was Simply employed as an apprentice and was not a member of the German Union, He represented himself as an autonomist, that is a believer in redressing social wrongs by individual action, force or violence if necessary. Be was a disbellever in all religion, and was an advanced radical in all hig views on social and other questions, The views of Most were not radical enough for Berkman and the latter regarded Most as very conservative. pelong to any Anarchistic es d no organipation. but he might be termed an ex- treme Anarchist in native of Russia and vin been THE MAN languages, amon Kussian, French and Englishe him say that when he came to hee ed to find lucrative em- * t went to 8 Most's office to a liv i —— os to arrest » 1 resembled that ofa student. His views on anarchism were spoken forcibly and in such a way as to impress his listener that he was earnest. He never declared himself a Russian Nihilist. but his views were so extreme that it was evident he was in full accord with the Nihilist leaders. He worked steadily and saved what money he earned. 1 don’t know where he lived but it was oP 2 ent that his habits were very frugal and that he indulged in no dissipation or social pleas- ures.’’ 1 Herr John Most, the anarchistic leader and editor of the Freheit, where Berkman was employed, was seen last night at the head- quarters of the New York Anarchists, No. 85 Kast Fourth ere bt a and approached by a Post- tell what he knew about ared to be ina non-communicative mood. e did not refuse to answer some of the questions put to him, bat he spoke siowly, weighing his words carefully. It was evidentthat he knew a great deal more about Berkman’s movements. than he It is true. said Most, that . Berkman was employed in the omce of the Freheit. He was on there for a few months, owever, and was paid the wages of an apprentice probably $5 or $ a week, just what he earned settin type. I was under arrest at the time left in July 1891, and he quarreled with the foreman and quit work, Since that time I have heard from him, or rather heard of him in some other places. — ees **What places were they?“ „Well, Philadeiphia was one of them. I don’t recollect the others now. As to his family or antecedents I don’t know much. He was a Russian and had been a student at the University in Odessa. He was unable to defray the expense of con- tinuing his studies in Odessa, and about six or seven months before he entered my em- ploy he came to this country hoping to get work. In this he did not seucceed and when he applied to mel did the best I could for him. He was a constant attendant at anarchistic meetings and was a pronounced agitator of radical views. He was a Russian Nihilist and, I understand, was exiled from Russia on that account. He held these views while in New Tork, and as he was young and hot-headed he made himself rather con- spicuous in anarchistic circies. Yes, think it may be sald that he was more ad- vanced’ in his views on certain questions than Jam. While he was in my office I had very few conversations with him and he told me nothing about his personal affairs. 1 don’t know where he lived, but think he changed his residence several times while he wasinthiscity. I never heard him make any personal threat against any par ticular person or persons, but he was a warm supporter of the views expressed by Nihilists as illustrated in his own country by their acts. Was he a member ofa Nihbflistic band in New York?’’ There is no such order. There are only alf a dozen Nihilists in this city and they have no regular organization. Like all good Anarchists Berkman believed in the right of individual action to correct abuses and that prompted him to what he did at Homestead. I have no tears to shed for what Berkman did.’’ At an anarchistic meeting which was held with closed doors in an upper hall, Most and others made speeches there were fre- quent references tothe shooting of Frick by Berkman. Most said that owing to the down trodden condition of the laboring. classes he was not surprised at any act of violence. In fact, he said it was more a matter of surprise that there had not been such shootings as that of He was not prepared to that he approved such acts but he was not going to sit in judgment up- on Berkman for what he had done. There was a report in circulation last night in anarchistic circles that Berkman had lived in Russia before going to college in Odessa and St. Petersburg. He is said to have been acigar-maker by trade, but this is probably incorrect. He was also said to have arrived in this city five years ago and to have lived for a short time at 43 Prospect place, Brook - lyn, and also at 205 Fifth street, this city. A woman knownas Horina Manning is said to have Kept Louse for him at these places. LOOKING FOR CONFEDERATES. NEw YORK, July 23.—Chief Inspector Steers received a dispatch from Pittsburg shortly after the attempted assassination of Frick yesterday asking him to look out for any con- federates of Berkman in this city. He de- talled Detectives Hanley and Wade to look up the case, but at midnight they had made no public report. TO POISON THE FAMILY. REPORTED ATTEMPT TO POISON THE MEMBERS OF FRICK’S HOUSEHOLD. WHEELING, W. Va., July 23.—A_ sensational chapter is added to the Frick tragedy by the receipt of a startling letter in this city this evening. Robert Alexander, the Pittsburg frescoer, working here, to-night received a letter from his sweetheart, who is employed asa domestic in the Frick household. She said that within the last four days a desperate at- tempt had been made to poison the entire Frick household, Mrs. Frick and her infant son were made dangerously sick, and the wife of Frick’s coachman is in a dying condition. Strenuous efforts, the writer said, had been made to suppress the facts while detectives were em- ployed toferret out the perpetrators of the outrage. The letter appears to be genuine. NO FACTS OBTAINABLE, PITTSBURG, Pa., July 23.—No dental of the confirmation ofthe poisoning story can be obtained at the Frick residence to-night. It isnot denied, however, tbat Mrs. Frick is dangerously ill. Mr. Frick continues to rest easy. 7 RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY PASSED AT MIDNIGHT BY THE MILLWORKERS’ ADVISORY BOARD, PITTSBURG, Pa., July 23.—Just at midnight to-night the Advisory Board, through Chair- man Crawford, gave out the following state- ment: At a regular meeting of the Advisory Board of Homestead, Pa., the following reso- lutions were formulated and passed: Whereas, we deplore the act of the individual not connected with our trouble, or association, there- fore be it, Resolved, that we condemn the unlawful act of the wounding of Henry Clay Frick, and tender our sym- pathy hereby, and further, Resolved, that we spread acopy of this resolution on our minutes, and give a copy to the press, Steve Madden, Secretary of. the associa- tion, said, ‘‘This is a bad business. We are always ready to have a fair fight by legitimate means wiih those who may be contending axainst us but we cannot too strongly reprobate an act of this kind. I have not seen the man who aid the shooting, but from your description, I am thangful to know he is not one of our members. AT HOMESTEAD, HOW THE NEWS OF THE ASSAULT WAS RECBIVED BY THE STEEL WORKERS. HOMESTEAD, Pa., July 23.—The news of the shooting Of Mr. Frick caused a shock in Homestead. It did not become known with startling rapidity, however, for. the intense heat of the day kept many people indoors. and comparatively few persons were on the streets when the news was received. A bul- letin received by the telegraph company, whose Office is situated in the same building with the Advisory Committee, and adjacen to the Carnegie works and Camp. t 3 : was willing to tell. , | men did not conceal their satisfaction over the news, and such expressions as Pit it didn’t kill the rascal,’’ served him right. and That's good news, were beard. One **That fellow should be shot for a clean job of it.’’ 1d whose ha and beard were sprinkled with gray, waved his ha head and shouted, Glory to God.“ the credit of the crowd, he was not encour- aged in his vehemence. ‘he crowd finally became so great that the militia officers were obliged to tear down the bulletins, and a deputy sheriff made the as semblage disperse. Leaders of the locked out men who were in their room over the tel- egraph office hurried down stairs when the first bulletin was received and anxiously scanned its words to make sure for them- selves that the news wastrue. Down in the business partofthe town a crowd quickly gathered about the office of the other tele- graph company, wherea bulletin was also isplayed. News of the attempted assassination of Fr'ck was received at Division Headquarters about 20’clock. Orders were issued immedi- ately to clear the camp of all persons except soldiers, and within five minutes there was not a civilian in sight. There was a crowa of about twenty men who refused to leave but were forced to do soat the pointof the bayonet. Orders were sent to all parts of the camp and guards and pickets doubled. The officers clearly expected trouble and this feeling has by no means yet worn off. None of the sol- dlers are allowed to leave the lines to-night, and all passes issued to them have been revoked. The released on ball to-day caused the military to take extra precautions to preserve the peace, as it was known the strikers intenued giving him an ovation, should he return, and ne Provost Marshal had orders not to allow crowd to gather, and had O’Donnell re- turned trouble could scarcely have been averted.as the strikers were very determined to hold a mass meeting in his honor. At8o’clock this morning ‘‘boots and sad- dles’’ was sounded in both artillery and cav- alry camps and all day men have been in readiness to move at a moment’s notice. The horses are stillsaddled and harnessed in an- ticipation of trouble to-night. There is no doubt that tze attempted as- sassination of Frick will have the effect of keeping troops here much longer than would have otherwise been thought necessary. The ‘soldiers think they will have to fight before ‘ going home, and all are unanimous in deter. mination to do their duty toward the State, If ordered to shoot, they shoot to Kill. There is a general feeling of anxiety throughout,the camp to-night and matters are more critical now than any time since the troops were called out. There may not be any trouble over this excitement but it is hard to tell what the next twenty-four hours will bring forth. NEW YORK LABOR MEN. THEY ALL DEPLORE THE ATTACK ON MANAGER FRICK. NEW YorK, July 23.—All the labor men yesterday were shocked when they heard of the shooting of H. C. Frick. John Tasker, President of the Board of Walking Delegates, said: Every labor - ing man must deplore any action of that kind, I know that all labor unions strongly condemn any violence. This man Berkman must have beeen crazy.’’ Joseph Barondess of the Cloakmakers’ Union said: „While I do not admire Frick, I severely condemn the shoot- ing and consider it very unfortunate. A man’s life is sacred, and any one who seeks it should be dealt with by the ex- treme penalty of the law. The shooting uppears to be of the most brutal character 48 Frick had no chance to defend himself. Wnen Iürst hearditI felt that none of the Homestead people could be implicated and am lad my belief has been corroborated.’’ Edward L. Murphy of the Central Labor Union said: ‘‘I was shocked when I read ‘that an attempt had been made upon Frick’s Ile. The people of Homestead had enough trouble to bear without having anything of this kindto deplore. No matter how bitter or heartless a man Frick may be he must receive the Sympathy of organized labor. We believe in hon- est, square, lawful fighting but no stain of crime must be attached to the name of labor. From what I know of the people of Homestead I know they will de- mand this as much as any one else and 9 is needed they will do their utmost to bring Berkman to justice.’’ Samuel Gompers, President of the Amert- can Federation of Labor, was at his office when the first report of the shooting came to the city. He refused to say anything until it was verified. He afterward left his office and could not be found later. FRICK’S CAREER. HOW HE BECAME. THE VIRTUAL HEAD OF THE CARNEGIE PROPERTIES, PITTSBURG, Pa., July 23.—Mr. H. C. Frick was born in Fayette County in December, 1849. His first business experience was ob- tained at avery early agein A. Overholt’s whisky distillery. When he was 21 years old he was already interested in a coke-making plant and before long he had embarked as an operator on hisown account, He made his first big strike about 1872, when, having built abranch railroad from Bradford to Mount P easant, he sold it to the Baltimore & Ohio ata hancsome profit. The money tbat he made in this deal he immediately invested in coal land and additional coke works. By January, 1882, the coke interests held by him and E. M. and Walton Ferguson had reached such magnitude that Carnegie Bros. & Co. paid $1,500,000 for a half interest in them. Mr. Frick then bought the Standard Co.’s works, the J. M. Schoonmaker plant and the Connelisville Coal & Coke Co.’s property, bringing the whole property up to between 20,000 and 25,000 acres of land, while later purchases bring the holdings of the Frick company up to more than- thirty-five thou- sand acres of tlie very best coal land. The N has nearly ten thousand coke 8. _ On the death of David A. Stewart in Decem- ber, 1888, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, recognizing the great business ability of Mr. Frick, offered him an interest in the firms of Car- negié Bros. & Co. and Carnegie, Phipps & Co,, which Mr. Frick accepted and paid for. He at once was made Chairman of the Carnegie Bros. & Co., and when all the Car- hegie interests were consolidated July 1, Mr. Frick became Chairman of the new company and the active head of the immense business. Mr. Frick married Miss Childs some years ago, and 2 two children who share with them a beautiful home in the Kast End. Mr. Frick has had many conflicts with the labor which he has employed in the interests under his management and has come to be —— the relentless foe of labor so- clet ies. O’DONNELL AND ROSS REMANDED TO JAIL, BUT MAY BE RELEASED ON BAIL MONDAY. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 23.—O’Donnell and Ross had two of their fellow workmen for company in the county jaillast night. At a late hour Detective Jesse Morris came in from Homestead, having in custody Matthew Foy. aged 55 years, father of Tom Foy, who was dangerously injured by a Pinkerton bullet, and Peter Allen, aged 50 years, whom he had arrested at Homestead on warrants charging them with murder. These are two of the fif- teen men against whom Secretary Lovejoy made informations Wednesday, and whicn informations were suppressed.

Hugh O'Donnell was remanded to jail until Monday morning, Judge Magee saying that he wished to review the testimony, There is no doubt but that O'Donnell will be released on bail. The keeping of O'Donnell in jail over Sunday, however, is because the court officials belleved that if O'Donnell were lib- erated this evening, and the workmen at Homestead were to yagi 4 out their pro- gramme of his reception, that, while the ex- citement over the attempted assassination of Mr. Frick is yet so inteuse, an encounter be- tween the workmen and the militia would be cerfain to occur. i SYMPATHY FOR HOMESTEADERS. 2 Fr.

This is the estate of Mr. George Vanderbilt, which is nearly 10,000 acres in extent. Here the land is from 2,800 to 4,000 feet above sea level, and accord- ing to the best medical authorities there are fewer healthier spots in the world. Its lati- tude and its elevation, at which the atmos- pheric and blood pressures are very evenly balanced, and its almost perpetual spring weather, with the cooling mountain breezes make it a delightful place. Mr. Vanderbilt took these things into con- sideration when he determined to purchase the land,and for natural scenery there is be obtained from any part ot the world with a reasonable hope that they will flourish un- der the conditions of climate and the soll of the locality. plants in the nursery are bushes or very young trees sent from China, Japan, Italy, France and other foreign countries.

Interest in educational problems that arises from a contemplation of the American public school system has been quickened of late by comparisons instituted between the system in vogue here and those of foreign countries, Itmay be stated broadly at the outset that the comparisons are in no way favorable to this country. Partic- ularly is this the case when the Germanic system of education is taken into consideration. There one finds a system, thorough, scientific, broad and unt- form, and in addition an interest and zeal in behalf of the schools among both people and Government that is sadly lacking on this side of the continent.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—The repre- sentatives of the Knights of Labor recently sent to Washington to care for the interests 2 of the order before Congress have stirred up a big rumpus. Messrs. Devlin of Detroit and Hayes and Wright of Philadelphia have been here for several days for the purpose of adjusting the difficulties that have existed for some time between the K. of L. and the World’s Fair Directory. Although in Washington on another mission, these gentlemen presented themselves before the Homestead Investigation Committee yes- terday morning and were permitted to take a prominent part in the examination of the Pinkerton brothers. As the outcome of this incident an exciting scene occurred op the floor of the House this morning between Col. Oates, the Chairman ot the committee, and Mr. Devlin. A few minutes before the House convened Deviin made his way to Col, Oates’ seatand in the presence of several members stated rather brusquely that he -wanted acopy of the testimony taken at yesterday’s session of the committee. Col. Oates replied politely that it would be =impossiDie to with the request as the copies would no be read several days. Mr. Dewin replied that the stenographer could furn\sh him with a type- written copy. Mr. Oates rejoined that the stenographer was too busy with his official work, but that he would Be glad to show Mr, Devlin the original Copy/of the report of the hearing, an’ that Mr. viin could take such notes from it as he chose. Mr. Devlin said very shortly that he wanted to have a copy, and wanted it at once. Then raising his voice so that it was quite audible to several members standing near-by, he ex- claimed: ‘‘Col, Oates, your action yesterday in permitting the Pinkertons to read the questions we had prepared for them to an- swer was a most extraordinary proceeding, sir,“ Col. Oates nushed up at this criticism and replied with some heat: „Mr. Devlin, the appearance of yourself and your colleagues as a committee at yes- terday’s hearing was a distinct imperti- nence. This investigation is being con- ducted by the House of Representatives, and not by your organization or any other. Our committee yesterday overlooked the fact that ou had noright to take part in that exam- nation and decided to submit the questions which you prepared for the Pinkertons to answer. You were very fortunate, sir, in receiving the consideration accorded vou.“ „Well, str,“ retorted Devlin, your treat- ment of us was very extraordinary and most unsatis factory.“ Devlin followedethis statement up witha remark ofa personal nature, to which Col. Oates replied: ‘‘If you are dissatisfied with the treatment you received at the hands of our committee you can gc to or f 1 should go there,’’ said Devlin ex- citededly, 1 think I would have plenty of company. you would.“ Advancing toward Col, Oates, Mr. Devlin shook his finger in his face and exclaimed: Jour committee took a recess yesterday for no other purpose than to give the Pinkertons a chance to read our questions and prepare their answers. That's a — lie, shouted Oates, and you know it.“ At this juncture the members who had been standing about stepped between Col. Oates and Devlin, and the latter was hustled of the floor by two stalwart door-keepers. Devlin subsequently encountered Mr. By- num, another member ofthe committee, in the rotunda ofthe Capitol, and complained to him of Col. Oates’ treatment. He received cold comfort. „Col. Oates did exactly right,’’ said Mr. Byhum with emphasis. ‘‘It is about time that it was understood that this examination is being made by a committee of the House of Representatives, and not by any other or- ganization. We have made all sorts of con- cessions with a view of satisfying everybody, but it don't seen to please you. The action of the committee yesterday in submitting the questions to the Pinkertons can not be criticised. You should remember that the committee ac- oe. your questions, although not bound to 0 80.

Lonpon, July 23.—The labor troubles at Homestead excite increasing interest here. The newspapers are flooded with articles and letters upon the issue between the Carnegie Co. and its employes, and intense feeling is expressed against Carnegie in those towns which have heretofore accepted gifts from him, the local newspapers denouncing Carnegie, and expressing regret that the gifts were ever accepted. It is pointed out that in England a popular majority in Parliament could speedily reme- dy any attempt to coerce workingmen, either by the use of Pinkerton mercenaries or of the military arm, and that the United States does not really enjoy as much liberty as England, owing to the intrenched position occupied by capital and the comparative dis- advantages at which labor is placed. with The Loss of an Arm...

Eight Men Killed Outright and Many Injured. FIFTEEN OF THE MINERS IMPRISONED ; IN THE GANGWAYS. Sad Scenes at the Mine—Neglected and Dangerous Condition of the Colliery— Mangled by a Circular Saw—Impaled on a Pitchfork—Fell Off the Cars—Boy Drowned—Casualties. POTTSVILLE, Pa., July 28.—York Farm Col- liery, situated about two miles from this city, was the scene ofaterrible explosion about noon to-day. Eight men are known to have been killed outright, anditis believed that fifteen men have suffered the same fate, as those known to have boen killed are as fol- lows: Jon Harrison of Waderville, fire boss, lea des a wife and four children. THOMAS JONES, Minersville, married. WILLIAM JONES, Minersville, single. WILLIAM WEHMAN, Minersville. JaMES HARTZEL, Lilewellyn. GErorGE Kreiss, Middle Creek. HERMAN WERNER, St. Clair, wife and eight children. ANTHONY PUTCHLAVAG, Pottsville. THE INJURED. Those known to have been injured are: ANTHONY Srockgor, leg droken and burned; died at 8 o’clock. HENRY MADARA, Mount Hope, burned; may dle. THOMAS LANDER, Fishback; badly burned. ROBERT ALLOTT and son of Fairview. GEORGE StTock, Yorkville, 23 years, mar- ried; leg br en and burned. EDWARD VUURBAN, slightly burned. THE EXPLOSION. The explosion, it is believed, was caused by astrong feeder being: broken into and its force penetrated a safety lamp and ignited the gas. The explosion was terrifiC and completely closed the gangway with several cars which were on the tracks. Sev- eral men are known to de shut but their number and the extent of their injuries cannot be ascertained. Dr. John G. Carpenter, R. S. Christman, W. H. Robinson and A. H. Halberstadt promptly responded to the call for assistance and Fathers Duffy and Ronney of St. Patrick’s Church and Rev. F. M. Longius of St. John’s Church were also promptly on hand to min- ister to the spiritual welfare of the un- fortunates. The injured men were placed in improvised ambulances and conveyed to their homes. THE VICTIMS. The dead were found in the first lift in the West Salem vein a few feet from the tunnel. The three who are still in the mine, Harri- son, Jones and Hartzel, were in an air way from the second lift to this lift. Their bodies have, no doubt. deen blown down the air-way and will be foundinthe lower lift. At 8:15 Coroner Tilden arrived with a jury. He viewed the bodies and adjourned to await further developments and take tes- timony. One of the men who was at work about 400 yards from the scene states the force and the report of the explosion was terrific. Inside Superintendent Fishburn, Emil Merenchbach and Wm. Bootham, his assistants from Blackwood, were early on hand and descended the slope to render assistance. At a late hour men, women and children crowded around the mouth of the slope in great suspense watching for further devel- opments. The mine officials decline to give any particulars as to the extent of the dis- aster. It is believed, however, that about fifty men were in the mine. The searching party is made up of the most experienced miners in the service of the company and everything possible is being done to reach the men. It may be hours, however, before they are found. The damage tothe mine is very great, as the debris filled up in every direction will prevent resumption of work at the mine for several weeks. The force of the explosion was terrific, and the noise was heard several miles distant. The announcement of the catastrophe was late in reaching the earth’s surface and the town, butas the sad news passed along the streets crowds of people in electric cars, carriages and on foot, started for the scene of death. Men, women and children from Yorkville, Pottsville and other towns in the county were soon gathered about the mouth of the slope, some of them having relatives among the dead and badly injured, while others were drawn there through curiosity. The injured were the first to be brought tothe top. E. Curran of New street and T. Sanders of Fishback were conveyed to their homes in the company ambulance. Harry Madar of Mount Hope, whotlives but a few miles from the colliery, was tenderly carried home ona stretcher by some of hisfriends. Antony and George Stock, brothers, were also taken to their residences in the company’s ambu- lence. Robert Allotand son were taken in the ambulance to their homes, Seventh and Fairview streets, BROUGHT UP THE SLOPE. Five of the dead were brought up the slope together about 1o’clock and were taken to the carpenter shop to await the Coroner and the jury. These were William Wiehman and Wm. Jones of Minersville, George Kreisse of Middle Creek, Herman Werner of St. Clair, and Anthony ruitschiand of Pottsville. The bodies of the other fire bosses, Thomas Jones of Minersville and James Hartzell of Slewlyn, had not been recovered up tos p. m. Brave workmen, at the risk of their own lives, worked faithfully and long to find those bodies, which are supposed to have been covered by the debris of the explosion or are closed in all together. There is no doubt these men were either blown or burned to death. Christian Hon- icker of St. Clair is also sup- posed to de dead. To recover the dead it was necessary to builda brattice as the debris was removed and this work may require hours before the other bodies can be found. Supt. Leckie with his force of gal- lant men worked faithfully to secure the end. THE COLLIERY.

The captain and crew sailed 400 miles in a life- boat to Roe- buck Bay. Lord Canteloupe purchased the Sunbeam from Lord Brassey, three years ago, his object being to engage in pear! fish- ing. Thestory of the Sunbeam reads like a romance. The yacht came in here once about seven years ago, and Lady Brassey en- tertained lavishly. She did not make the best impression because sie was ‘‘loud’’ in dress and manners, but there was no question about the excel- lence of her cook or the age of her wines. She committed suicide five years ago by leaping into the sea fromthe yacht. The full facts were not published at the time. Later the Singapore papers hinted at a deep mystery in the affair and Lord Brassey promptly started with the yacht. , WHISKY IS DANGEROUS.

Suggestions for Overcoming Their Most Onjectionable Tendencies. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Among the household inconveniences left over to this generation outside window blinds are among the chief and worst. Their prin- cipal objects seem to be to get out of order, hang on one hinge, collect dirt, slam violent- ly and noisily and contribute in every possi- ble wayto the dilapidated appearance ofa dwelling. Toshut or open them one must risk dislocation of the neck, and if they are on a dressing room window they are apt to blow open at critical moments in the process ofthe toilet. Still they exist, and the aim of every woman who has them shouid be to render them as unobjectionable as possible, In the first place, all their siats must be carefully attended to, and never let drop or fly loosely. Once every week they must be thoroughly brushed, otherwise the accumulation of dust n them combines with occa- sional showers to flow in rivulets of mud down the front of the dwelling. At least onceayearthey should be taken off their hinges and washed. The wise woman will take them offone at a time or else mark in some unmistakable way which blind belongs to which side of a window, otherwise great will be the confusion, and if they are hung by a man, the profanity attending their ad- justment. The proper materials for washing one of those cumbersome objects are a tub, warm, soapy water and a whisk-broom,. After the dust and accumulations of the season have been washed off, rinse the biinds in water in which ammonia has been diluted in the pro- portion of a tablespoonfulto a gallon. They should be allowed to get thoroughly dry be- fore being rehung in the sun, otherwise they are liable to crack. Then, when they are restored to their windows, as fresh and clean as green trees after a shower, one is inclined to overlook their objectionable qualities and take unqualified enjoyment in their neat appearance. ; ¢jarment Makers Shut Down.

New YorE, July 23.—‘‘Happy Home“ isa dark tenement district in Washington street, where Mamie Sullivan lives. She isa tidy girl and has a voice that, with her face, may make her fortune some day. Nobody ever thought that a tragedy would be provoked by Mamie Sullivan’s voice. A baby came to cheer the cheerless abode of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Delaney, on the third floor of the „„Happy Home’’ tenements, No. 442 Wash- ington street, not long ago, and Mrs. Mary Roache, elder sister of the young mother, came from her home, No. 41542 Greenwich street, to minister to her. Mrs. Mary Sullivan called one after- noon atthe maternal couch, She brought asa gifta bottie of old Irish whisky. This caused a breach that has widened ever since. Mrs. Sullivan comes from Killarney, and the whisky was made there. Mrs. Roach and Mrs. Delaney come from Cork,and they don’t think muchof Killarney whisky in County Cork. Mrs. Roache was frank enough to say so, and Mrs. Sullivan said things uncompll mentary to Cork. Mr. Sullivan, a longshore- man, is a Parnellite; Mr. Delaney, also a longshoreman, is McCarthy- ite, ahis caused pair of breaches that thave long since been past mending. The feud got bitter and nearly all the tenants in the bullding be- came involved in it. Pretty Mamie Sullivan lives with her mother and thirteen brothers and sisters in the adjoining room. She began to sing at4o’cilock. She sang Sweet Kil- larney.’’ The peopleinthe adjoining room struck up Love and Duty,“ but above their discordant tones rose the clear and bird-like warble of Mamie Sullivan. We'll put a stop to that brat,’’ said Mrs. Roache. Followed by Mrs. Delaney she charged upon the Sullivan stronghold with a broom. Mrs. Mary Sullivan met them at the door with a piece of kindling wood. They overpowered Mrs. Sullivan and threw her on the bed and choked her. Little Johnny Sullivan pulted a hatchet from be- neath the sofa and handed it to his mother, Ihe other women fied. Mrs. Sulliuan fol- lowed. Mrs. Delaney dodged into another room but Mrs. Roaciie stood at bay witha milk pitener. As Mrs. Sullivan approached she drew it back witha threatening gesture. Then the hatchet fell upon the woman’s head. Mrs. Roache sank to her knees and the blood spurted from a gash in her scalp. She crawled towards her assalil- ant and clutched at her waist, but the bloody hatchet descended again and another gash was cut in the prostrate woman’s head. With a wild cry she fell back with her head and shoulders on the second step of the narrow stairway, down which the blood trickled, There Policeman Skidmore found her. They locked. Mrs. Sullivan up. Mrs. Roache will probably die. She has a com- pound fracture of the skull and has not re- galned consciousness. a a HELD FOR FRAUD. A BROTHER OF MAURICE GRAU IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

He spent two months in Ludlow street jail in the summer of 1889 for failure to answer a summons. In the present case itis understood that his de. tense will be that he was trying to secure Mrs. Baeck a theatrical engagement and that she offered once to loan him some money. Grau sentaletterto Mrs. Baeck at her home No. 205 West. Forty-sixth street last night. When Mr. Baeck got hold of it he followed the messenger and finding Grau had him arrested. The letter read: Ido have anawful time trying to find you, and when I «io find you it is almost impossible to see you. I wonder somewhat if you are not tired of me. * * * * You would never do as tell you to do and will have your own way. The result fs you get into scrapes all the time. I fear I cannot stand much longer the strain. However, enough of that. I ain in very bad shape again. Can you send me any- thing by the bearer? It is terrible to ask but 1 cannot disguise my position. Do try and send me something and do let me know when and where I can see you. I] go to work Aug, 18 for the season. Grau’s defense was that Mrs. Baeck had oft- en befriended him and had told him that if he were in trouble to send for her and she would help him. Sus wanted me to get her an engagement on the stage, he said. A POLITICAL MURDER. THE SHOOTING OF JUDGE LONG AT KENNER, LA. NEW ORLEANS, La., July 23.— Kenner, a vil - lage ten miles north of New Orleans, was the scene last night of an attempt to assassinate Judge Henry Long. The town has a heavy colored majority and efforts to subdue their influence in election times has repeatedly caused bloodshed.

There will probably be a most romantic re- union at the City Hospitalto-day. Friday evening the 4-months-old mfant of Ida Mudlue was suddenly stricken with cholera infantum at the depot and was removed to the City Hospital, as the mother had no meansto care for it. When the child was first taken sick the mother was watching the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. 's fire. Yesterday morning a man giving the name of Frank Eckedt called at the hospital and asked to see the mother of the child wuo was taken from the Union Depot Friday evening. Eckedt told a strange story. Several years ago he marred a pretty country girlof whose antecedents he knew nothing, is wife told him that when she was very young she, with two sisters, had been driven from home by their stepmother and had been bound out by a poor uncle to farmers in dif- ferent parts of Illinois. Since that parting she had seen nothing ofher sisters. She re- membered her father, who owned a big gro- cery store and lots of horses, but beyond the Gay on whichthey were so cruelly driven from home, she remembered little. She has related the story of her life to many persons, among them an old negro woman who employed ‘as a domestic in thelr home. Yesterday the old negress was among the crowd that watched the fire at Fourteenth and Gratiot streets. While returning home she noticeda sad-faced young woman wending her way hurridly through the crowd. Something in the appearance of the girl attracted the at- tention of the old servant. At first she thought it was her mistress, but looking at her the second time she perceived that she had been mistaken by a striking resemblance, Suddenly the story of Mrs. Eckedt’s lost sisters fashed across her mind and her feeling that she had found one of them grew stronger, she mechanically fol- lowed ihe young woman until she saw her taken with her child in an ambulance to the City Hospital. When Mr. and Mrs. Eckedt heard her story they were inclined to discredit it, but, never- theless, Mr, Eckedt resolved to investigate the affair. Yesterday morning he called at the hospital and after a lengthy interview with Ida went away convinced that one of the long lost sisters had deen found. Mr. Eckedt said:. My wife’s story agrees in almost every particular with the one told by this girl, and should everything turn out as 1 believe it will this will be a romance in real life. Lam employed by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and work at night and therefore I cannot bring my wife here until Sunday morning.“ Eckedt went away after telling the girl that if she proved to be his sister-in-law he would provide her and the child with a comfortable home. Miss Mudlue related the following story to A PosT-DISPATCH reporter at the hospital last night: „Jam about 19 years old, When I was 6 poors old my mother died and my father not ing able to care for us himself married again soonafter. The union, however, was a failure as far hiidren were concerned. Our stepmother took a great dislike to us and as she wielded a powerful influence over my father she treated us as she pleased. Finally, one day we were really thrown out of the house, My mother’s brother picked us up, but being too poor to support us, bound us out to farmers. were separated then and have never seen each other since, I was „ a man named Charies who owns a farm near Waterloo, ll. He did not treat me well and made me work with the men inthe field, He did not give me enough clothes and hardly enough toeat. Two years ago I ran away from him and came to St. Louis where I worked for Dr. Faber, of South Broadway. I told him the story of my life,and he inserted advertisements in the pa- rs asking information of my relatives. othing came of it, however. I returned to Waterloo, and recently went to Clay- ton where I secured employment as a do. mestic. My child proves objectionable to my employers and Friday I came to St. Louis intending to placeitin an asylum in Caron- delet. ere the gil began to weep. ‘‘Oh, if I could only think that I had found my sis- ter I would be happy.

When questioned concerning her child she began to cry and rsisently refused to dis- close the name of her seducer. *‘He loved me yang MY she said,’’ and I will not disgrace The girl is suspicious of every one.

SEL THAT FLOATS, Limits of Naval Architecture Surpassed by America’s Latest Achievement The New Commerce Destroyer Can Dis- tance All Other Vessels and Steam Around the World Without Coaling. New Tonk, July 23.—The fleetest, most destructive and probably the most dread in- spiring warship yet built is to be iaunched at Philadelphia Tuesday next, The name first given to her was the Pirate. She is to be christened Columbia. Asa destroyer of com- merce she is intended to surpass any vessel heretofore constructed. Neither England nor France, nor indeed any of the other great naval powers ,possess such a sea terror. The Columbia and a sister ship now being con- structed by the Oramps are destined to be more feared than the most formid- able of all the sea kings owned by the belligerent nations across the big pond. When the contract was let for the Columbia in October, 1890, the Cramps agreed to produce a vessel which would sailaround the World without recoaling in 100 days. The plans calied for a ship 400 feet long on the mean lead line beam; molded, 58 feet; draught, mean normal, 23 feet; extreme normal, 24 feet; displacement, normal about 7,300 tons; speed sustained, 21 knots; indicated horse-power, 20,500. The ship was to make 22 knots on der trial trip. Falling in this she was to be rejected and made subject to aheavy penalty. The Cramps predict that the Columbia will excel in all points the re- qulrements stipulated in the contract; that she will beat transatiantic greyhounds like the Teutonic, Majestic, City of New York and City of Paris out of sight, and that she willkeep up her twenty-two knots for twenty-four hours atastretch. Her coal bunkers are to hold 2,000 tons, or much more than those of any other steamship im the world. There are ten boilers. Six of them are double-enders, 15% feet in diameter by 21 feet long. Two others are 11% feet in diameter by 18% feet in length, while the two remaining are 10 by 8. All the bollers are of steel and can easily sustain a + pressure of 100 pounds. There are three triple expa nsion engines, each of which work a screw—one on either side of the rudder, and the third just above it. These screws, under high pressure, are expected to develop 128 revolutions per min- ute. This rate exceeds that of the City of Paris’ screws by thirty-eight revolutions per minute. Chief Engineer Mellville originated the three-screw idea with the purpose of avoiding the tremendous weight of shafting which would have been necessary for two screws. Each of the three shafts isso equipped that one, twoorthree screws can be used at once. The ColumDia is protected in her vital portions by an armored deck four inches thick on the slopes and two and a half inches thick onthe flat. She carries no big guns; those used are to be of light ca liber and out A singte eight-inch be utilized asa boat chaser. Besides this the Columbia is to carry four inch breech load - ing rifles, eight inch of the same character, twelve rapid firing six pounders, six rapid firing one pounders, two machine guns, one field gun and six torpedo tubes. The six inch guns are to be mounted in the open deck, protected by heavy shields attached to the carriages. The armament is intended to be effective for its rapid firing features rather than b broadside. The officers and men will splendidly equipped accommo- dations. The most modern inven- “ventions are to be employed for ventilation, and the ship is to be lighted throughout with electricity. The Cramps get $2,275,000 for building the ship, It is pro- posed to make the launching a gala day. Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy has signified his intention to be —— He will go on. from ashington with a party of Government officials and Congressmen and will makea personal inspection of Cruiser No. 12, The Cramps have made great preparations for the eventand many thousands of people are likely to witness the baptism: of the Columbia. have GERMANY’S CAFES, The Student and the Waitress and the Beer They Drink. Munich Letter to Chicago Times. The German waitress is almost always an attractive young woman, witha full figuré, fresh features and symmetrical shoulders, though unassuming and always deferential manners. She has rather rough hands and somewhat large feet. She wears no dainty little cap, as does the English waitress, but her hair is remarkable for its neatness and becoming dress. She has always an immacu- lately clean apron bouquet, ani though her wardrobe does not include a tailor-made gown nor extravagant laced linen, she manages to appear neat and tasty and almost always with a charming waist, particularly on nights off or when going to the theater. But though she is not so well off in this world’s goods as is her sister in the coffee and cake rooms in America, she is the subject of more romance than a dozen French, English and American w sses. Lieutenants smile on her, solid formed government officials make love to her, and artists draw delightfully pretty misrepresentations of her for the comic weeklies.

C. Frick has always been the open and courageous foe of the workingmen, and the Homestead men have fought with equal openness and courage. The attack upon him was the work of a crack- brained Russian besotted by centuries of oppression and wrong. — .. —Üüäàä j — Tue Pinkerton idea that the Govern- ment should have Pinkerton protection to keep down the people is the companion of the plutocratic idea that the Government should give tariff protection to rob the people. It is the idea of Government ot, for and by the plutocrats. _ = _, * * * Tu rise in the price of coal teaches the Philadelphians the same lesson so hardly learned by workingmen in protected in- dustries, viz.: that the average man or body of men will not share lawful profits with any one who cannot enforce a claim to standing room on the ground floor. 0 THE Sheriff at Homestead was dispos- sessed by the military, but Gov. Pattison has restored the civil authority. The fault of military men seems to be that they are too apttothink that the shadow of even a pair of militia epaulettes displaces all civil authority and supplants all civil functions. 1 — a _—_ Tue International Monetary Conference is looked upon as a partisan dodge, and nothing serious is expected from it, but if Mr. Blaine goes as one of the delegates he will probably distinguish himself and make the conference of real value to economic science. For this reason it is not likely that the President will appoint him. In a letter to the WORLD, Proctor Knott exhausts the resources of the English lan- guage in describing the noble and winning qualities of Gen. Stevenson as a man and friend. He ascribes to him absolute purity of thought and word; perfect sincerity, gentleness, invariable cheesiulness, witha _ ‘res 2 « N . 72 1 , delicate charm of manner anda flashing but kindly humor which render him a delight- ful companion. Should he be defeated Gen. Stevenson may well account a candi- dacy which brought out such a magnificent tribute from a life-long friend as rich in reward. 8 — * * PROUD OLD MISsOURL Before the campaign ends the Moberly Monitor will find that it is mighty bad polities““ for Republican organs in this State to charge that Missouri Democrats have been as friendly as the Penn- sylvania Republicans to the Pinker- ton machinery for suppressing strikes. In the Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1889, the Monitor will find that secs: —, 38, 772, 4, 5 and 6 have for years past and forever paralyzed plutocracy’s Pinkerton arm in this State, and compelled our great corporations and our Carnegies to depend for the protection of their property and rights upon the same police officers and legal machinery that are the poor man’s only protection. Our law forbids the bringing of any person or association of persons into this State ‘‘for the purpose of discharging the duties devolving upon police officers, sherifis or constables in the protection or preservation of public or private prop- erty.’’ Any person who violates this law by doingin Missouri what Frick didin Pennsylvania is liable to imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than three nor more than five years, and the cor- poration or association so offemding may be fined any sum not less than $1,000. Our law further forbids the appointment of any but a bona-fide resident as deputy sheriff, constable or police officer, and any sheriff, mayor or police commissioner disregarding this restriction is liable to imprisonment in the county jail not less than three months nor more than one year. This legislation shows that Missouri Democrats are not talking merely to catch labor votes when they denounce the Pin- kerton invasion of Homestead as a cold- blooded effort to provoke riot and bring about a slaughter of the locked out men. The fanatical fury with which the Globe- Democrat always jumps on the strikers and upholds the use of Pinkerton’s thugs in such cases, is no doubt embarrassing to minor Republican organs in cities like Moberly with a preponderant labor vote. But the Monitor only puts itself deeper in the hole when its blundering misstate- ments enable Democrats to point proudly and triumphantly to their statutes putting the rich and the poor on the same level with respect to the preservation of peace and the protection of property rights. THE PINKERTON STATEMENT. The plea in defense offered by the head ofthe Pinkerton Agency is weaker even than had been expected. Mr. Pinkerton tries to distract attention from the point at issue and direct it to matters which, so far as the merits of the case go, are imperti- | nent and irrelevant. It is not for him to decide the question whether organized la- bor is essentially criminal or not. Nor is it relevant whether or not the captive de- tectives were brutally treated by the angry people of Homestead. The question is, is it expedient to permit private citizens to settle their quarrels by pitting armed mobs against each other like the Montagues and Capulets of the middle ages. Iscivilization so fara fail- ure that the dispensation of justice cannot be intrusted to regularly constituted au- thorites? Are we to return to the system of private vengeance or shall the State continue to monopolize the maintenance of law and order? It may, however, be claimed that Mr. Pinkerton was not eoncerned with this question, but was bent on excusing or justifying his acts under the law. But looked at in this way his plea is singularly unhappy. Thecoreof it is in this paragraph: When first requested to send watchmen to protect the Homestead plant and property of the Uarnegie Steel Co., Limited, we refused to do so unles$allourmen should be sworn inas deputy sheriffs before going to Home- stead. We were then assured that the Sheriff of Allegheny County, Pa., knew that our men were going to Homestead to act as watch- men and to guard the property from violence. We were further assured that the Sheriff had promised immedlately upon any outbreak or disturbance to deputize ail our watchmen as sheriff’s deputies if it became necessary for the protection of lifeand property. On that condition only did we-consent to furnish about 800 watchmen; a large number of those men were ourregular employes, who could be thorouchly trusted for integrity, prudence and sobriety. The remainder were men whom we employed from time to time or who were known and recommended to us. Now, it may well be asked, why did he take assurances from anybody but the Sheriff himself? Who presumed to assure him what the Sheriff would do? Asa matter of fact the Sheriff did not swear in the Pinkertons as officers of the law, and his chief deputy, who accompanied the barges, did not recognize them as his posse. Mr. Pinkerton says that organized labor always commits crime, is always guilty of destroying property or life when a strike is on, and yet he sent 300 men to the scene, know- ing that Winchester rifles would be placed within reach by the Carnegie com- pany and did not communicate with the officials of the State of Pennsylvania. He accepted the assurances of the Carnegie people and placed his bravos under their direction absolutely. He enlisted in a private quarrel and ignored the authority of the State. He and his followers are on hisown showing guilty of rioting and should be prosecuted along with the locked-out workmen. | The people of Pennaylvania, like the aot bs 2 * ‘ x 1 so, eat bs Se 8 5 2 e 4 N * a x N J 5 N x ex fs F 3 8 f be. ite Soe Bote ee ‘people of all the other States, have pro- vided for the keeping of the peace and are well able to perform that duty. When the Carnegie compahy hired a band of irre- sponsible men from another State to invade the community and keep the peace in the Carnegie interest they showed a contempt for constituted authority and a defiance of the spirit of law and order possible only among men grown proud through too much prosperity. The case against the Pinkertons and the Carnegie people is more than made out by this one paragraph in Mr. Pinkerton’s own statement. _ — * — A PROFITLESS PARTNERSHIP. When the anthracite monopoly was es- tablished in defiance of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey constitutions, the Phila- delphia papers were unanimous in uphold- ing the scheme, and talked learnedly of the advantages to be derived by Philadel. phians from the ‘‘economies’’ made possi- ble by the combination. There was no question concerning the legality of the proposal. The Philadel- phians were promised some of the swag, and accordingly supported the consolida- ation. The managers of the trust said that it ‘‘would be certain to give Phila- delphia lower prices for coal.“ Well, the price of coal has been marked up 25 centsin the City of Brotherly Love and dealers expect a further rise of $1 within the next six months. The profits of the combine, the fruits of monopoly which the guileless citizens hoped to share with the monopolists, are going into Mr. McLeod’s and Mr. Sage’s pockets. There is nothing wonderfulinthis, For thirty years Pennsylvanians have stood hats off before men like Mr. McLeod, ob- sequiously smoothing their path toward monopoly privileges, confidently expect- ing to be let in on the ground floor. Min- ers, millworkers and factory operatives have faithfully given their votes to in- crease the gains of monopolists under the belief that somehow a part would come to them. They certainly ought to be wiser now. A coal dealer charges all the traffic will bear. He is not a philanthropist. Nor will a mill-owner ora manufactuuer pay higher wages than he is compelled to. The price of coal and the price of labor are regulated by the same law, which is above and be- yond statute and which statute can never set aside. It is never praiseworthy to go halvesin a confidence game and it is positively wicked when there is no profitin it. If the people of Pennsylvania ever grasp this simple, practical, ethical truth they will not only dissolve the unequal partnership, but do what they can to break up the combines or prevent them from reaping where they do not sow. ——— TRE election of United States Senators by the people finds favor oddly enough with the Philadelphia Press, an ultra par- tisan paper thought to be wholly given over to plutocracy and the ways of latter- day Republicanism. It grounds its belief in the proposed system on the experience of Pennsylvania, which is represented in the Senate by two men who, according to the Press, ‘‘are as raw and inapt in the work of legislation as they were at the beginning. Experience has brought them neither confidence nor skill in the dis- charge of the duties of their office.’’ But so far as Pennsylvania is concerned she seems to be hopelessly committed to her two misrepresentatives and if anything can be gathered from her past course would return both Cameron and Quay on a popular vote. There is much to be said in the experience of the Keystone State i certainly not evidence in favor of the p posal. TRR shooting of Mr. Frick at Pittsburg by an obscure crank is another criminal and deplorable incident of the abandon- ment of orderly methods and remedies by both parties to the Homestead affafr—an abandonment which had already cost a dozen lives. The bloodless restoration of peace and order at Homestead by the State authorities as soon as their inter- ference was properly invoked, shows what might have been accomplished in the first place without loss of life, if either party to the strife had stood up for law and order and resorted only to regular and lawful remedies. Asitisthe law must take its course against all on both sides who have violated it. The entire trouble would probably have been brought to an end without a single funeral if Pennsylvania had in time adopted the Missouri statute against the employment or importation of the Pinkerton forces. _ | nn — — — a —_— THE SUNDAY Post-DISPATOH’s benevo- lent arrangement for affording free help to victims of disabling accidents is beginning to be appreciated as it deserves throughout the vast and populous region in which¢he paper circulates. The twenty-first aid coupon cashed was on the person of Mr. W. H. Dake, a prominent citizen of Joplin, insurance agent and Deputy President of the Order of Aigis. People who realize that accidents will happen in the best regulated families are learning that the money is sure to come when the accident happens if they have followed the directions of the coupon. c THE reasons given for the retention of Green B. Raum as Commissioner of Pen- sions throw a flood of light on latter day Republicanism. Here isa man notorious- ly unfit for any office of trust, a man who in private life could not get a recommenda- tion fromany business man. He is ac- knowledged to be a petty jobber, whose shady transactions are not od favor of direct election of Senators, but 1 vy the questionable virtue of bigness, He is hopelessly and irretrievably dis- credited, and yet he is held in his place by a Republican President backed by two Re- publican Senators. Why? Because the political situation in Illinois is uncertain effect in that State. In other words a cheap adventurer is so dear to the voters that they will resent his removal. The party managers seem to think that honesty and efficiency do not please the voters. The party of moral ideas needs a bath of decency. a Tue fact that Mr. Frick was shot will doubtless be used by the advocates of Pinkertonism and plutocracy to prove the need of armed retainers to protect em- ployers and to demonstrate the viciousness of all striking workingmen. But it is as logical to argue that because a citizen is killed by a scoundrel or crank on the street all citizens should carry arms and have a body guard, or that all men are dangerous. Workingmen as a body should not be held responsible for the con- duct of the cranks or rascals who happen to be classed with them, nor can their cause be judged by the expressions or ac- tions of such men. That there are such creatures who identify themselves with the cause of labor looking for pretexts for an- archistic mischief makes it all the more important that honest workingmen should refrain from all violence or lawlessness in endeavoring to secure their rights or de- mands. — 22 1 — — SENATOR PEFFER mentions as one of the ways by which the Government can settle labor disputes is to keep its hands off and let the two parties settle their differences between themselves. But he adds that this method is not popular, and suggests the expropriation of the industrial plant of the country and its operation by the Government, Unfortunately this remedy is worse than the disease. The Senator’s first suggestion is the better one. Let the Government keep its hands off and not treat either master or man as an infant.“ The individual American citizen is always able to take care of himself if he is per- mitted a free fight in a free field. —_— * ANDREW D. WHITE, who has just been appointed Minister to Russia, is a respect- able gentleman somewhat given to think- ing. He had diplomatic experience as American Minister in Berlinand will no doubt perform the duties of his present of- fice acceptably. As a Republican politi- cian Mr. White has been a conspicuous and creditable failure, which explains the willingness of his party to spare him in the heat of the struggle. — — — — From the position taken by the leading Republican organs on the Homestead affair, it would seem that one of the first things the Republicans will do when they carry Missouri will be to repeal our laws against the employment of Pinkerton’s forces to regulatestrikes. Will Hon. Wm. Warner advocate such repeal from the stump? Has he the courage of his party’s opinions on that subject? A Mr. STEVENSON proposes to ‘‘appeal to the sober judgment of the people’’ in this campaign. This is the only decent way to conduct a political canvass and it is matter for congratulation that the issues are so clearly defined that a resort to per- sonalities or clap-trap is practically im- possible. The attempts to do this by some politicians have not been well received. — unn CouUNSEL for the Reading Combine argued before the Chancellor of New Jersey the ther day that ‘‘the change in the price of oal was not so much a rise as an agree- ment to secure uniformity.’’ Very well; it is not worth while to quarrel about words. The people are unalterably op- posed to any arrangement to secure uni- .formity. n — Ir the weird story of the cremation of the remnant of the Texas Suicide Club by the Whitechapel Club of Chicago is less untrue than is suspected the club deserves the thanks of the Chicago people. The dates of the death and cremation show that the body was kept tendaysinthe atmosphere of the Windy City. EMPEROR WILLIAM is probably watching with deep interest to see what will be done with the Congressional Committee which dared to criticise the conduct of that young man in the Harrison family.’’ WITH Marshall McDonald, City Counselor Marshall, the City Marshal and a woman named Marshall paying important roles in his court no wonder Justice Morris has trouble on his hands.

Whatever may justly be said in favor or even of the necessity of such an arrangement under existing circumstances (the employ- ment of the Pinkertons at Homestead) it will not be denied that it has a distinctive medte val flavor. It strongly reminds us of the condottieri in Italy and of the Lands- knechte in Germany, who hired themselves out and fought more or less bravely on what- ever side of a contest they found the best pay and the most tempting booty, without taking the slightest interest in the merits or demer- its of the cause they fought for or against. It would, no doubt, be doing injustice to Pinkerton and his men to put them upon the same level. Butitis by no means improba- ble that, if the state of things continues which furnishes employment for such a force, the financial success of the Pinkerton agency will stimulate the spirit of competi- tion, and we may before long have several organizations of the same nature in this coun- try ready and eager to engage in any enter- prise of private warfare that may offer itself. Indeed, it does not require an extraordinary flight of the imagination to fancy two of our great railroad corporations contesting the control of some district or territory and em- ploying two different private armies to win by force what cannot be won by peaceable means. * * * * * * * The main point, however, for the consid- eration of the American people is that we cannot admit the necessity of having and em- ploying such an armed force as the Pinkerton men without confessing to a condition of things among us which we must be ashamed of. That in the young settlements of the Far West, where the legal relations between man and man have scarcely taken a definite form, and where self-help in the largest sense is still the order of the day, something like private war should occasionally be resorted to for the determination of disputes is not astonishing. But the confession that in some of the oldest, richest and best- ordered States of this Union the enforcement of the laws can be so little depended upon that a resort to medieval contrivances be- comes necessary for the protection of prop- erty or of any other right is humiliating in the extreme. It is said that sometimes polit- ical considerations stand in the way ofthe enforcement of the laws. If this be the case, then it is high time that politics be reformed in accordance with the elementary require- ments of civilized society. A truly civilized community will not have to look toa Pinker- ton force to do under private pay that which is obviously the business of the regularly constituted authorities. Praise from a Republican. From the Philadelphia Ledger (Rep.). The reply of the Democratic candidate for President was strikingly characteristic of the man, as he has on many occasions revealed his character to his countrymen, It was, for instance, as natural for the ex-President to say of the party that has made him its stand - ard bearer that it is strong in its willing- ness to risk its lifeand hope upon the peo- ple’s intelligence and patriotism,’’ as for him to confess himselfa member of it. The people who know the manly, frank sincerity of the speaker will know that he meant what he said, and that in defending the principles of his party he did so from the profoundest conviction that they were right and good. A very large anda very intelligent and patri- otic part of his countrymen will not agree with his opinions upon the subject of the tar- iff; but there will be few, even of those who hold to the contrary view of the subject, who will not respect and admire him for the cour- ageous consistency with which he maintains and, upon all fit occasions, proclaims his eco- nomic principles, Law- Made Religion. From the Philadelphia Record. Senator Manderson, inaterse but amply explicit letter toan Omaha pastor, points out that the result of closing the World's Fair on Sunday would be to crowd the haunts of vice while literally giving no showto virtue. He adds that men can no more be made relig- ious by law in this generation than they were made Christians by the sword in those that are past.“ He might have added that if sucha feat could be possible in morals it would still bea travesty of the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Danger in a Government of Guns, From the Philadelphia Record. Ifin taxing ourselvesto build up favored industries in the United States we are bring- ing on conditions of industrial growth which require the nurture and restraint of standing armies as a means of preserving peace and order by government, the people cannot too soon be made to understand the situation, nor can they too soon set about finding the proper preventive. The drift toward gov- ernment with guns should be immediately arrested, Issues Are Olear. From the Philadelphia Record. Those voters who think that it is right to lay Federal taxes on the masses for the bene- fit of the classes will make a mistake if they vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. Those who do not believe in legislation favoring trusts, subsidies, bounties and special protection for special interests will make a mistake if they vote for Harrison and Reid. The issues are so Clear this year that no man in his right mind need make any mistake about them. A Humiliating Position. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. Mr. Harrison is said to be negotiating with Platt and Miller with a view to securing some- thing more substantial than their formal sup- port. For a President whose ‘‘magnificent record in office has dictated his renomina- tion’’ this is a rather humiliating position in which to be placed, MEN OF MARK. RUSSELL SaGe shaves himself.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In yesterday’s Post-DIsPATCH an article appeared intended as a reply to an article which you kindly published for mein your issue of the 19th inst., relative to closing the barber shops on Sunday. I am surprised at the carelessness of the writer, who signs his name Jultus Vauple,’’ for it is plain that he did not carefully read my article signed „Barber, or else he intentionally misquotes for my article says nothing about ‘‘cleaning up the week-worn barber.’’ But it does say cleaning. up the weak, worn toller. In fact I cannot think that barbers are so badly punished by labor for most of them in this city do not do three days’ full work in a week, Sunday included; the balance of the time is spent in loungi around in the shops . K ice water an reading the news of the day. Of course I don’t claim to know as much as the statis- tical compiler and President of first journey man barbers’ St. Louis, but still I barber and run a barber shop. And Ido know that no boss barber in the — can close his shop on Sunday and thereby in- crease his business and enabled to pay higher wages. That kind of an argument will not wash down, and I do not believe that three respectable boss barbers can bé found in the city that will differ with me upon this point. I still claim that there are about 2,300 bar- ber shops in the city limits, andif the ‘‘Bar- ber and Subscriber’’ who signs another arti- cle upon the barber question in your issue of the 21st inst. will count again he will still come nearer to my figuresthan he does when he confesses that there are 1,125 instead of 740, as before claimed.

Francis had no ma- t all in His urality „ When, some fifty years ago, an Frenchman discovered a process the sun could be made to paint p re sensitive plate, he did not in his dreams imagine. that the developx improvement of this process would the sun to paint its own picture benefit of science, Yet this m oul has actually come to pass! Out daguerreotype has grown the photog and by the aid of the spectroscope the Fists ing God of Day is compelled to sit for! Be trait and lend the refiected t oT . countenance to be studted by scientific eyes. More wonderful still to me is the now common application of photography to bly more distant than the sun. A new chapter of astro-pnysics has thereby been opened,’’ says a foreign scientist. ‘‘The proper meaning; the faint masses of nebulous mat- ter, scattered round and amidst the stars, have become animated indications of the . genesis of solar systems; and the great prob- lems relative to the life of thestellar worlds— their origin, thelr decay and their rejuve- nescence—have come again to the front, su ported by renewed hopes as to the proximity of their ultimate solution. But most wonderful of all is the now familiar fact that, by means of the spectro= © scope, the light of sun and stars can be brought down to earth and analyzed, and that from this analysis we know, to very con- siderable extent, of -what materials these celestial orbs are composed, To think that the astronomer in his observatory can reach out to the nearest fixed star, Alpha Centauri, 20,000 ,000 of miles—or to Sirius, so far removed that its light, traveling at the rate of 183.000 miles a second, is sixteen and one-half years in coming to us—and tell of what it ts made! If tae immense advance or astronomy—that divinest of sciences—is glorious proof of the divine powers of man, the knowledge thus obtained is certainly calculated to convince him of his utter insignificance in the iliimit- able universe of God. ‘‘It is computed that there are at least 100,000,000 stars within the range of the telescopes used by Herschell, and 1,000,000,000 within the range of the great reflecting telescope of Lord Rosse And far, far beyond the range of the most powerful instrument yet constructed, are Gepths of space, peopled with countless worlds, which no astronomic plummet will ever sound.

But man, proud man Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he’s most assur’d— | His glassy essence—like an angry ape, | Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven, As make the angels weep. In Chicago the other day the only child of the great grandson of Robert Burns was buried by charity, while the father lay dying in a hospital, too poor to pay even for his own grave. In London the other day a copy of the first or Kilmarnock edition of Burns’ poems was sold at auction for £120. Such is the irony of fate! For lack of that money the descendants of Burns—his own flesh and blood—are subjected to all the humiliations of direst poverty; too poor to pay either doc- tor or undertaker. The poet himself was quite as unfortunate financially. During his last illness his family was dependent upon the kindness of friends, and he himself was actually dunned upon his death-bed for a debt of $35, This first Kilmarnock edition of 600 copies —one of which has just been sold for 38600 brought Burns only $100. The bookseller hesitated long before he would print it, al- though 850 copies were already subscribed for. No angel from the future revealed to them the fact that the contents of thoir little book would pass through an hundred and forty editions, be translated into three lan- guages, be read wherever civilized man has penetrated, would. stamp its author asthe greatest genius of his native land and secure for him a high place among the band of im mortals who are not of an age but for all time.’ But after all, Burns was only a spiendid possibility. He died at 87, and the rich legacy he has left us—torn, as it were, from the hard grasp ofhis short and painful life is but a sad evidence of the treasure we have forever lost, And as we turn and gaze upon the fair temple of his genius, rising like a vision of loveliness above the mists and fogs of this lower world, glorious, though incom- plete—let us dare to hope that in some brighter and better clime each missing col- umnand arch and dome shall be added and the capstone be laid with a shout of joy. Teresa de Capeda—better known as st. Teresa of the Order of Carmelites—was a woman of great good sense, as well as exem- plary piety; and it would be a most blessed’ thing if all the world, Catholic and Protes- tant, Jew, Turk and heathen, could be in- duced to obey these superiatively sensible suggestions which she gave in the shape of commands to the sisterhoods under her charge: Do not be curious about matters which do not concern you, Say no evil of any one but yourself, and do not listen toany. Never ridicule any one. Do not contend in words about things of no consequence. Do not ex- aggerate, Assert nothing as a fact of which you are not sure. Give no hasty opinions. Avoid empty tattle. Do not draw compari- sons. Be not singular in food or dress, and be not loud in your laughter. Be gentle to others and severe to yourself, Speak courteously to servants, Donot note other people’s faults. Note your own faults, and their good points. Never boast. Never make excuses. Never do anything alone which you would not do before others.“ These lines are none the less graceful and beautiful because Tennyson did not write . them.

The President Set Right Concern- ing New Tork Harmony.“ No Attempt to Disguise the True Situ- ation. n EX-SENATOR MILLER BEARS THE UR - WELCOME NEWS. Business Men Forming Olevelant and Stevenson Clubs—Hill Will Not Rs- sign—Speech of the Ex-President at Greenwich—Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan De- nies a Rumor—Ovation to Stevenson on His Homeward Journey—General Politics. New York, July 23.—Ex-Senator Miller while tn Washington had a long talk with the by President. It became apparent to him that neither Depew nor Senator Giscock had fully enlightened the President about the situation in New York State. Mr. Miller told the Presi. dentthe truth. Mr. Hiscock, Naval Officer Willis and Secretary Tracy had impressed the President with the idea that all was harmony inthe Empire State. Mr. Miller in his diplo- matic way informed the President that there Were many unpleasantnesses, most of them growing out of the personal policy of Secretary Tracy, Secretary Foster ofthe Treasury Department and secretary Elkins. The President, it is reported, was very much pleased to get atthe true situa- tion. He had nothing unkind to say of his Cabinet officers and there was nothing un- pleasant in his comments about the Republi- cans of New York State who opposed his re- nominationat Minneapolis. The President was notinclined totake much stock in the reports of the alliance between ex-Senator Thomas ©. Piatt and Mr. Miller. He had been told thatit wasofa flimsy character. But Mr. Miller told him that while there were certain members of the Union League Club who had not altogether agreed with him, he (Miller) was neverthe- less firm in his allegiance to Mr. Platt. Mr. Miller informed the President that there was nothing personal in the opposition to him at Minneapolis. Mr. Miller considered that he had a right to differ with John C. New and other Federal offizeholders who represented the President’s campaign, and the President is gradually becoming accustomed to this idea. There will be no bargain and no ar- rangement between the Pres'dent and Mr. Miller and Mr. Platt, but there will be a per- fect and a more comfortable understanding between them. Mr. Miller and Mr. Carter think that the time has come for peace. They are averse to any further comment on the situation. There are a number of Republicans in Wash- ington just now trying to aid ina happy solu- tion of any differences. Collector Hen- dvicks went to Syracuse yesterday afternoon. He was somewhat disturbed over the an- nouncement that Col. George L. Crouz had decided to pull out of the race for Congress- man against James J, Belden.

THE NEW YORK SENATOR HAS NO IDEA OF QOUIT- TING PUBLIC LIFE. New York, July 23.—The report that Sena- tor Hill was about toresign made his friends angry to-day. One of them saidtoa Post- DISPATCH representative: Senator Hill will not resign. He will stayin politics, as he is as big a factor as ever. He is angry with the Cleveland crowd, but he will stick to the Democratic party as he always has, although some members of that party have reviled and insulted him. Hill’s only fear is that his friends in some of the interior counties will not take his lead in the support of the ticket, and then he will blamed, as he has been before, for something he was powerless to avert. Neither has the Senator any fear that in the event of Cleveland’s election any serious effort will be made to dislodge him. He will havethe whip hand of Cleveland, and his friends and those allies of the candidate who are persistently gloating over the humilia- tion of this persistent Democrat should re- member thatinany eventthe Senate which will confirm the nominations—if Cleveland is elected—will be Republican. Besides the Republicans, who will be quite willing to see trouble, Senators Hill, Gorman, Brice, Vorhees, Turple, Pugh, Morgan, Ran- som, Irby and Butler are not personally friendly to the candidate. These Senators will surely see that the New York Senator is not insulted by nominations of people who are his personal enemies. So on that score the enemies of Senator Hill ought to come to their senses at once, though they probably will not. Neither ts it true that Hill will not return to Washington this session. He ag 4 return Monday and then go away again for about eight days. His trip to Normandie is only for a few days’ recreation. From there he will probably goto Elmira and thence to Al- bany. He visits New York for consultation with his friends and not to contrive methods for the defeat of the Democratic * On Aug. 5 the Democratic State Commit tee meets at the Hoffman House and it is likely that a declaration of the position of the re Democracy will be made at that time. Whatever it is, it will be the expres- sion of the party of this State, and Senator Hill and every loyal Democrat will abide in spite of Cleveland, Whitney and all their mugwuimp allies.’’ It can be set down as a fact that the ad- dress of the State Committee will ask all Democrats to support the ticket for the sake of the party, but there will be no burning words of adulation for the candidate, Stevenson and the force bill will be the key note of the production. Senator Hill spent three hours in the city Thursday. But three persons of political repute saw him during his brief stay. They were Chairman Edward Murphy, Jr., of the Democratic state Committee; Lieut.-Gov. Wim. Sheehan and District Attorney James W. Rid y of Brookiyn. Mr. Sheehan had just had a short talk with Mr. Cleveland at the Fifth Avenue, and it is understood that he bore to the Senator a message from the ex-President. What it was no one in the city could tell last night. Mr. Sheehan had departed tor Buffalo, either Chairman Murphy nor ; r. Ridgway seemed to know, anything About it. Gen.

T., July 23.—On his way to his home in Bloomington, from New York Adial EK. Stevenson stopped in Utica this after- noon, and made a speech fromthe rear car of the New York Central train and afterwards shook hands with 200 Democrats, who came downto hear and see him. The crowd was a truly representative one and all took great pleasure in meeting the dis- tinguished party. The Chicago Limited was on time, and at 3:40, just as the train pulled into the depot Gen. Stevenson came from the back end of the last car and without be- ing introduced began shaking the hands of those who came forward. He was in a happy frame of mind, aud all who were there remarked about his cheerful man- ner. After the hand-shaking. Mr Stevenson took off his hat and began his speech as fol- lows: 1 greatly appreciate meeting the citizens of new York and especially those of this city. I feel as if the ground on which I am standing is sacred, for not far from here is the onored spot where les the body of Horatio Seymour, who was honored alike by the Democrats of New York and the Democrats of the United States. Here lives a distinguished Democrat, whom I had the pleasure of meeting when I was in Congress, Francis Kernan,a man whom I love and all Democrats love. There is not in the United States a Democrat who Is more honored and respected than he. He honor to his State and As 1 said to the Demo- y, I shall bring to the Dem- ocrats of IIlinois the glad tidings that the Democracy of New York is in line for the party candidates in the great contest before us. Everywhere we hear words to the ef- fect that New York will give a handsome majority forthe party. The train is about to start. Ithank you for this reception and hope I will see and meet you some other time. ‘three cheers were given for the General. After bowing his thanks he went back into the car and induced Don M. Dickinson of Michigan, Cleveland’s ex-Postmaster-Gen- eral to come outon thecar and address the crowd. He spoke briefly and was followed by W. C. Ewing. CLEVELAND AT GREENWICH. A HAPPY SPEECH TO THE PEOPLE OF A CON- NECTICUT TOWN. the people of Greenwich, Conn., very happy yesterday by favoring them with a speech. They had gathered in the evening to the num- ber of 5,000 at Mr. Benedict’s house, where Grover was a guest. The village fife and drum corps was on hand and some enthusi- astic children pounded dishpans. This is how Mr. Cleveland talked to the people, every allusion to going to Washington causing a ripple of merriment: When leame here something less than onewear ago supposed that all my friends in Greenwich were included inthis family circle. 1 felt fully at home under this hospitable roof, A manifestation then occurred, however, which convinced me that I had many more friends up here,and now afteran absence of a year I come back again to see this dem- onstration, and I assure you I am gratified again be- cause of the emphasized evidence that my friends are not merely those in this pleasant home. Our friend, Mr. Benedict, has spoken of induce- ments and allurements offered my wife to settle down here. I don’t think itis quite fairfor him, in my absence, to be putting ideas like that into my wite’s head. I’m afraid she will have to go with me, [A voice: To Washington?’’ A few millions hav- ing something to say where my future home shall be. Uf course, I cannot settle that question. Ordinarily it would be impertinent for them to say wherel should live, but now if they do as well as I hope they will do, a change of residence will become absolutely necessary. **lam not going to talk politics to you to-night, but the party to which we belong seeks supremacy this fali not merely because they desire the success ofaparty, but because the beliefs and principles for which they stand all co nduceto the welfare of thiscountry. If you or anyone else can convince me that these principles are not for the good of the peo- ple of this land then I want to have nothing to say about my place of residence. Icame from my country home in Massachusetts for a quiet visit to New York. It has been very quici, almost as quietas it is here this evening. [Laugh- ter.] Ishould be wrong to take this manifestation as a compliment merely to myself. There is nothing personal about it. It proves that you love your country and have a respect for those who have administered or who may administer its govern- ment. Ikmow your partisanship is not such as to carry you 80 far that you will not be willing to strive every time that your Government shall be so conduct- ed. I hope that whatever fate may bave in store for me I shall always merit and meet with your approba- tion. Wherever my future lot may be cast, wherever my home shall be, this incident will always be remembered with the greatest possible patisfaction. NEW TORK BUSINESS MEN. THEY FORM A CLEVELAND AND STEVENSON CLUB. New Tonk, July 23.—The project of the foundation of a business men’s Cleveland and Stevenson club as a national organiza- tion has been indorsed by many prominent business men. The effectual and efficient work accomplished by similar organizations in the campaigns of 1884 and 1888 is a matter of political record and history. A reporter called upon Mr. Alexander Meakim, ex President of the Excise Board, to learn his opinion ot the matter and to ascertain what steps had already been taken and with what degree of favor and enthusiasm. the rank and file of the business men here indorsed the movement. Mr. Meakim is most enthusiastic himself. He considers the movement this year far more formidable and important than that of either 1884 or 1888. Never before have the business mentaken so active and personal an inter- est. In the two previous campaigns no movement was started until almost the open ing of hostilities, but this year it is a signif- cant fact that steps toward organization were taken as early as the middie of June. The first clu to be organized was the Produce and Maritime Merchants’ Cleveland and Stevenson Campatgn Club of which Mr. Meakim isthe Secretary. Already the list of names of the Executive Committee and vice-presidents has grown to more than twice that of previous yeurs. A larger num- ber of prominent men than ever before have hastened to add their names to this list, de- siring to identify themselves with the move. ment, and requesting the privilege of being included inthe roll of executive committees and vice-presidents. During the present week headquarters fully equipped with a competent staff of clerks for the distribution of campal documents for general distribution will be opened some- where in the neighborhood of the Produce Exchange. The exact location of the head- quarters has not yet been determined, but it will probably be either on Broadway near Beaver street, or Bowling Green.

Stevenson has taken a great load off the public mind. He has formally given out the pronunciation of his name and since coming East his front name has become an orthographical crazy guilt. Everybody at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night gave it a different twist. To a £Post-Dis- PATCH representative yesterday Gen. Stevenson said: ‘‘My name as I pronounce it is as if written Ad-iee, with the accent on the first syllable. I was surprised on reach- ing the East to find it so variously handled, In Boston it was mostly called Ad-Lay-eye the pronunciation of the old Bible name, and in New York ft bas been mostly Ad-Lay. Neither is correct if my own way is to taken as a standard.’’ CARTER OUT OF OFFICE. WAaASHINGTON,'D. C., July 23,—Secretary No- ble yesterday addressed the following self- explanatory letter: Hon.

BERLIN, July 28.—The advance of the cholera towards the German frontier absorbs the attention of the public to the exclusion of all political and other topies. The prefects of the frontier provinces of Silesia, Posen and East Prussia have addressed circular letters to the lacal authorities relative to the adop- tion of measures tp prevent the importation of cholera from Russia. A number of cases which have been report- ed as having occurred at Block and Lodz near the frontier, have caused redoubled precau- tlons. The medical staffs have been in- creased and make extremely thorough ex- aminations of all passengers arriving at Ratibor, Pless, Thom, Knewzburg and every other frontier station. The railroad authorities are co-opraeting with the medical officers, making a strict examination of all baggage and goods sent by rail and burning all materials in which it is suspected contagion may lurk. They also cause all luggage to be disinfected. A party of medical men has gone to the cholera in- fected districts of Russia and Prof, Koch is making a tour of the Volga Provinces, Concurrent advices from various points in Russia afford little hope that the epidemic will be stayed. The authorities in St. Petersburg only seem to be waking up as the epidemic approaches themselves, Five disinfecting establishments have just been opened in the Russian capital and extra precautions have been taken along the Voronezt & Rostoff Railway. In Moscow and other centers charitable so- Cleties are opening medical bureaus, where the poorer classes are treated without charge and are furnished gratultously with medicine. Several refectories have also been established at which meals are furnished free or at reduced prices. The German medical men state that they find the hospital arrangements defective and cite as an instance Yaroslav, on the Volga, where the hospital sewage until recently emptied through pipes into the river above the point from which the water supply of the town was drawn. The managers of the same hospitals had failed to burn beds that had become infected, and had allowed large masses of refuse to ac- cumulate under the windows. The manage- ment of the hospitals throughout the country, however, is being reformed. The epidemic is teaching the Russians a salutary lesson of cleanliness. THEN AND NOW, BISMARCK’S PAST AND PRESENT COURSE STRONGLY CONTRASTED. BERLIN, July 23.—The prospect of another Bismarck outbreak at Jena this week has re- vived the subject of the feud between the Prince and the Emperor, and the Hamburger Nachrichten has prepared for the renewal of hostilities by increasing the venom of its leaders against the Government should the Prince again allow his chagrin to master his judgment and pour out the bitterness of his heart to the Jena students. The Government is resolved to throw peace tothe winds and give the ex-Chancellor a large dose of Imperial justice. Inthiscourse it will be supported by nine thinking Germans in every ten, for the attempt of the Prince to heap indignity upon the Emperor had aroused all the latent, but unswerving loyalty of the country to the House of Hohenzollern. Yesterday and to- day several dailies print acritcism of the present Bismarck by the Bismarck of the past. The criticism of the Prince was ad- dressed by the Prince to the ex-Minister Camphausen in the Upper House on Feb. 17, 1881, and contained these sentiments: I hope that when I will come to sit among you, as one of you,that a happy fate will keep me from being misled in embarrassing the work of my former colleagues inthe minis- try, work whose difficulties I know so well and which 1 don’t feel able to carry further. I have been exposed to such emDarrassments from my former colleagues inthe ministry, although they knuw wellthe manifold dim- culties in a minister’s way and understand that ministers work honestly and fairly and with no partisan or personal purposes. We were fair and honest when we were ministers together; be so now. How appropriately, says the Vorwarts, might the Government now address these words to Prince Bismarck. RULE IN CUBA, INCREASED TAXATION A HEAVY BURDEN—THE SUGAR MARKET, Havana, July 23.—Cuba is feeling lack of home rule very severely. Increased taxa- tion took effect on the ist of July by order of the Madrid Government, and officials are morethan diligent in enforcing every cent. Dally cablegrams from Spain overrule every protest and the collection of the budget of $25,000,000 from the island progresses without heed to the prayers for relief. The weight of tax is appreciated when it is remembered that Cuba has but 2,000,000 inhabitants, three-fourths of whom are of the labor. ing class. The taxes are not assessed upon the actual volume of products of the soil or the result of business operations, but upon a supposed result which, if not attained during the fiscal year, must pay the tax even if heavy losses have been incurred, very little, if anything, being done to decrease the extravagant expenses caused by such a vast hoard of officials sent out from Spain. The captain generally receives a salary equal to that of the President of the United States, ana his host of subordinates are paid in proportion. The sugar market continues paralyzed, there being no aemand from the United States, with nearly 2,000,000 sacks of sugar in the ports of the north side of Cuba. Sship- ments are very ligut and prices weak. The future prospects for the planter are very dis- couraging. By virtue of the reciprocity treaty with the United States, flour, since July 1, comes free of duty, a saving of over $ on asack of 203 pounds, which the con- sumer has no ancl, lap bakers give f me money than even a smaller loa 4 1 Sitrok, tor larger ones at vor.

Situated on the very shores of the Gulf of Mexico, Havana should be one of the most healthy places in the tropics, and if the immense sums of money so collected as Contributions and taxes from the people were economically expended there would be no cause for the present filthy condition of the streets and alleys. Officials in charge seem at the moment determined to adopt a more vigorous policy, to be prepared for any emergency. ; As might have been expected under the in- creased figures of the tariff on importations, the income at the Spanish custom-houses shows an increase for the first half of July— it is $88,893.59 as compared with the same time last year, LONDON’S STAGE. TIDE SETTING AGAINST SARAH BERNHARDT— THEATRICAL GOSSIP, LONDON, July 23.—Some critics who ad- ‘mitted that Mme. Bernhardt was as equally popular here as in France now see signs of a reaction. The royal Italian opera season, with its performances in Italian and French, will come to an end to-night, and on Monday the German company will commence a series of representations which are to be given nightly for at least ons week. It is intended to produce ‘‘Tannhauser’’ and ‘‘Fedelio’’ will be repeated. Lohengrin“ and the ‘‘Meistersinger’’ being both included in the repertory of the royal opera, are apparently for that reason not to be played by the Ger- mans. More than one operatic enterprise is con- templated for theautumn. At the Royalty Theater, which has recently passed into the hands of a new proprietor,a new comic opera, in two acts, by Mr. Oolsford Dick, will be produced early in September. The com poser has written his own libretto, which is entitled, 1he Baroness. At Covent Garden it is still intended to bring out in October an English version of the Ring des Nibelungen.’’ Herr Poilini, the manager of the German company now performing alternately at Covent Garden and Drury Lane,has arranged to produce Mr. Isidore de Laras Light of Asia in a German version at the Hamburg Theater. With the prologue shortened and with the last and the epilogue omitted this work will have much more the character of an opera than It possessed when it was brought out at Covent Garden, half in opera and halfin oratorio form, The scheme of presenting a triple bill at the Court Theater bas received fresh impetus from a play by B.C, Stephenson, entitled ‘*Faithful James, in which Weedon Gro- smith plays the part of a placid officious walter ina West End hotel. It is pronounced The Lyceum She has been in Ill health lately and has often been out of the bill. It is not believed that she is suffering with anything but a tempor- ary indisposition. It was stated in the series of cable letters last week that Mr. Wilson Barrett intended to make a tour of the United States. His plans, as now arranged, are to open on Mon- day at the Theater Royal, Nottingham, and he will play in the provinces until Oct. 15, when he will give a farewell performance at the Court Theater, Liverpool. On the 19th of October he and his company hope to sail to America. After appearing with his company in the American cities Mr, Barrett will go alone to ll an engagement at San Francisco at the Stockwell Theater, where he will be sup- ported by a California company, his own in the meantime having returned to Europe. Mr. Barrett has engaged John R. Rogers, husband of Minnie Palmer, as his manager. While the theaters in London are closing on all hands new ventures are in prepara- tion. The Criterion Theater will open on Wednesday with Messrs. Gilbert & Gros- smith’s new musical comedy, ‘‘Haste tothe Wedding.“ A. Van Bine will open the Prince of Wales Theater on July 30 witha play entitled The Broken Melody,’’ in which he and Miss Ogla Brandon will take the leading parts. The plot deals withthe machinations of a certain lovely but unprincipled Russian Countess, who endeavors,and for a time suc- ceeds in breeding dissension between an elderly composer (a Polish refugee) and his young and beautiful wife. The Broken Melody’’ represents an interrupted strain which the news of his wife’s sudden flight prevents the musician from completing. Ia the second act Mr. Van Bine, as the hero, is called upon to perform a ‘‘reverie’’ on the violincelio—an instrument, by the by, which figures prominently in the play—and event ually proves the means of providing a novel and effective denouement. To Miss Olga Brandon has been alloted the part of the seductive Countess, and to Miss Blanche Hortock that of the confiding wife, while Mr. W. L. Abingdon is to appear in his familiar character of the villain of the piece. The Adelphi Theater reopens on Saturday with a nautical drama by G. R. Sims and Robert L. Buchanan, Miss Agnes Hart, daughter of Dean Hart of Denver, Colo., who has been studying in London for several years, made a successful debut in concert at the Portman rooms on Monday. In a criti- cism on her programme, the Times commends her tasteful and intelligent singing. On Thursday Sir Arthur Sullivan directed the choral rehearsal for the music festival at Leeds. This was the first work he has done since his illness. He looked pale and weak He was given a rousing reception. Miss Ellen Terry will publish in the autumn a book entitled Stray Memories.“ It is an expansion of the articles which Miss Terry contributed somé time ago to the New Review, and ill contain numerous portraits and illustrations, r The Hon, Fred Wellesley, Kate Vaughn’s husband, has been committed at Wimbiedon to fourteen days’ imprisonment for being in arrears £34 on the taxes on his house. It was stated in court that every effort had been made to levy on a distress warrant, but suf- ficient goods belonging to the defendant to pay the arrears could not be found, Apropos to the question of opening the Chicago Fair on Sunday, it may be interest- ing to note that the Sunday opening of mu- seums andart galleries finds many promi- nent supporters in this country. A memorial is about to be presented to the Royal Acad- emy by the Sunday Society, asking that their exhibition may be opened on Sundays. One of their number, at least, is in favor of the proposal, Mr. G. F. Watts, R. A., whoin the course ofa letter on the subject, said: 1 cannot but think that the objectors to the opening of free museums, free art galleries and free libraries on Sundays forget that re- ligious teaching, if it is to be of any value whatever, does not begin and end with going in and out of church.’’ DUELIST MILLBANK ILL, HIS FRIEND BORROWE FINED FOR FIGHTING WITH FOX—PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT. . LonDon, July 23.—Millbank, the duelist, is having a pretty hard time just how. He has been quite ill at Brussels for some weeks past, and has not been able fo stir out at all.

Despite the published statements concern- ing the condition of the throat of Jean de Reszke, the tenor, in which it was asserted that the trouble is simply the result of over- work while in America, it is ramored to-night that the condition of his throat is serious. His physicians, it is stated, think that the trouble is either a cancer or a tumor, and ex- press grave doubts as to his being able to singagain. They positively assert that he willnot be able to appear again withina year. There was no performance at Bayreuth to- day. ‘*‘Tannhauser’’ will be performed to- morrow. The festival this year is exciting much less interest than heretofore,no new features being presented on the programme. The English papers, which in the past sea- sons dally devoted much space to critiques on the performances, this year completely ignore them. REMEDY OF REVENGE. EX-PREMIER FLOQUET’S ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH SOLDIERS. PARIS, July 23.— Ex-Premier Floquet has again beaten the bigdrum this week and ut- tered the periodical French cry for revenge. In an address to the Paris soldiers, as on the occasion of their hundredth anniversary dinner, he said: ‘‘War may kill its hundreds of thousands, may rend countries and plunder their possessions, but it cannot effect all things. It cannot compel nations, capable of self-defense, to give up their autonomy of existence and fade out of history. War cannot do this, neither can a narrow and jealous system of diplomacy. Strong nations once conquered have always one remedy, that is revenge. They must bide their time, however, prepare with intent purpose and by honest effort win the victory over the once triumphant enemy. In Germany, Austria and Italy this speech has been widely quoted, but Austria is s0 busy with her currency reform, Italy with her financial trouble and Germany with her Bismarck that Floquet’s belligerent utter- ances have failed as yet to excite any ade- quate response. The most important demonstration in the field of mid summer politics will take place in France next month, and it now bids fair to equal in passing interest the Nancy festival ofa few weeks ago. Chauvinistic French- men have arranged fora great manifesta- tion against the triple alliance, and to this end have invited -the mal- contents of Austria and Italy to meet them in Toulon, Marseilles, Alx Les Bains and Brignolles about the middle of next month. The meetings and processions already ar- ranged will be under the auspices of the Franco-Italian league and are intended to show to the world the strength of the organ- izationin Italy to the Triple Alliance. Speechesand resolutions arraigning Ger- many andthe Triple Alliance will be the programme of the meetings. The French,dep- uties, Millerand, Hughes and Heibbard, and ex-Minister Goblet are conspicuous among the Frenchmen behind the demonstration. The Radical deputies of the Italian Chamber have nursed the plan in Italy and will at —— in a body under the leadership of Cav- Otti. e HANDKERCHIEFS FOR SOLDIERS, A NEW ORDER ISSUED BY THE RUSSIAN MIN- ISTER OF WAR. ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.—An order has been issued by the Minister of War that the soldiers of the army shall hereafter carry handkerchiefs, and as these articles are luxuries among the lower classes, they will be furnished at the Government’s expense. Each soldier will receive four hand- kerchiefs, that is, the whole army will require approximately 8,500,000. The handkerchiefs have been specially designed for the service. Eacn will have in the middle a representation of an army rifle with the individual pieces of mechanism around it. The border will be ornamented with twelve small pictures representing twelve typical scenes of soldier life in peace; — each corner will be a picture of soldier life n war, NEW USE FOR ELECTRIOITY. METHOD OF TEMPERING SPRINGS AT THE Sr. ETIENNE GUN-WORKS, Lonpon, July 23.—Another use has just been found for electricity, and this novel applica- tion indicates that even the ingenuity of Americans as guessers has been uneguai to the task of imagining to what vast variety and multitude of purposes this won- derful power can be put. It is now used at the gun works of st. Etienne for tempering springs used in guns, steel wire being wound spirally.

It is, according to him a relic of David and of the first temple o Jerusalem, and is thirty centuries old. From encyclopedias and dictionaries of biblical lore one merely learns that the talent in biblical times was the heaviest coin in use. Its shape was oval n although at times it was almost circular. The name talent, ac- cording to Herrick,an old standard authority on ancient numismatic matters, signifies ‘*circular’’ or *‘globe’’ shaped. The Assyrian name of talent was tikun. Its value in Amere ican money is $1,642.50 for the silver coin. and $.6,280 for the gold. The Babylonian weights had a two-fold form—the heavy talent, some- times called the Assyrian, and the light talent, sometimes called the Babylonian. The heavy talent is the exact double of the light in weight. There is no mention of King David’s standard talent. LEGEND OF CHOCORUA. One of Whittier’s Queer Verses the Story. From Harpers’ Young People. The poet Whittier has his home in the sum- mer among the foothills ofthe White Moun- tains and in one of his local songs he writes: rene Sandwich notch the west wind sang Good-morrow to the cotter; And once again Chocorua’s horn Ot shadow pierced the water. Chocorua, which can be seen from the et’s home, is a tall mountain, perfectly are on top, and bereft of all vegetation. There isa native legend in connection with it, as with all old Indian localities, that is very interesting. Chocorua was the chief of a great tribe who dwelt onthe borders of what Whittier calis „nis broad Lake Ossipee.’’ For years the tribe and their mighty chief were supreme; but one day the white man came. The visitors had conquered all her Indians, but Oho- corua bound not to submit, For days and days the battle raged, until the chief alone was left, and he fled from the conquerors. ‘The white men followed him on and on, pressing close behind, until the chief 2 up the rugged mountain side and left his enemies below. Then he raised h hands aloft, and thn bry to the Great Spirit to grant his final. wish; and he cursed the mountain on which he stood, and ordered nothing to grow upon the summit while the white man held the land. Long and hard was his curse upon the mountain top; and when he had finished, night had come, and the chief leaped intothe darkness and van- ished from sight for evermore. And, runs the legend, from that time forth the moun- tain was called Chocorua and the curse of the old Indian was fultilied, for to-day it is bare and bleak. Such was the story told one summer’s night beneath theshadow ofthe mountain just as the moon outlined it against the sky. THE MORNING COLD BATH. Recalls If You Are Fat and Sluggish, Take It; If Thin and Nervous, Don’t. Written for the SUNDAY-PoOSsT DISPATCH. According to Jenness Miller, cold bathing in the early morning is beneficial only to those persons who have sufficient vital en- ergy and nervous force to insure good reace- tion, with no subsequent languor or lassi- the practice. +s Persons who have an abundance of flesh and blood, who are sluggish in temperament, and whose nervous force is not depleted, can take the cold morning bath to advantage. ~ Others Who are inclined to be thin in flesh, whose bands and feet become cold and clam- my on slight provocation, who di food _ siowly and assimilate it with d ty, who are nervous and who carry large mental burdens should avoid early morning bathing.

The striking planing mill hands have now been out for five weeks and there seems to be no immediate prospect of a settlement of the differentes between the owners and em- ployes. ‘They claim they are not asking any- thing very unreasonable in a 10 per cent in- crease. The same thing has been granted in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Baltimore, San Francisco and other large cities both East and West, they aver. „„We have the best skilled mechanics in our organizations all over the country,’’ said one of them, and the employers find after they have non-union men for awhile that they are really paying more for their work than if they had acceded tothe demands of the unfon men.“ On the otner hand, the millowners claim that they will succeed in running their factories without union men, in a very short while, unless the old hands return to work sho: ty as some of them we intimated they would, When questionedasto the condition of the strike one of the owners yesterday said: Ihres of the mills are running witha full crew and there is probably not more thana half crew at work inthe other mills, and 50 per cent of these are men from other cities, or new hands at the business, ‘The ** received at the meetings of the mill owners indicate a steady increase in the number of workmen and itis confidently ex- pected that a full complement of men will be At work within the next ten days. This is caiculating on some of the old hands coming back to work who have indicated to their former 2 their willllngness to do so ifthe strike did not terminate successfully ._ for them this past week. Not one of the fifteen mill owners have shown a dis ition > make the slightest concession. They are all determined, and will not turn over sheir . 0 the of unions. Aw ‘Bes D st there is no doubt but 12 fill the vacancies | and will not be discharged to make room for the old hands. ‘This point has been settled so as to preclude further discussion. ‘There are many reasons why the mill own- ers cannot and will not accede. The strikers demand that nine hours constitute a day’s labor and want pay forten hours. This car- ries with it a recognition of the union, and would mean that we could employ only union men in and that the question would be in the main e the union. This is impractical, arbitrary and unjust. Competition from other cities would soon settle the question for both manufacturer and employe, and settle it disastrously to both. „We claim that the workmen know nothing about the financial features of the business and are not capable of dictating on the vital points in the policy of a business and that the only proper, fair and equitable way ts for the employe to settle the question of wages individually with his employer. They talk about the tyranny ot capital“ In my opinion itis not half so arbitrary as unſted labor when the latter is in control. 7 t is not a question of nine hours’ work and ten hours’ pay so much 4s it is a demand for recognition of the union, and the miil owners are determined to settle the question for a long time to come right now. Thus far the mill owners have not decidedeto exciude men belonging to labor organizations from their works, but if the strike continues much longer action win undoubtedly be taken in that direction on the ground that the union men heretofore in the employ of the various milis are the ones that agitated and brought about this strike and by reason of the loss and inconvenience the manufactur- ers are put to, as well as such of their work- men who are thrown out of employment by this strike and who beloug to no union, I make the prediction thatif the strike lasts ten days longer no union man will be allowed to work in the mills.““ When asked about the probability of some of the old bands returning to work, the men | about the headquarters at Broadway and Biddle scouted the idea and said that the other u ens were still io gee ogg enough ee them during the Hght and 8 of a back-dowa on ay a mass meeting at Central ‘morrow afternoon at ei SP * ** ij mania without difficulty. jfather of the boy, has brought suit to have 9 estate is valued at Dr. F.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 23.—The afternoon session of the Criminal Court was devoted al- together to the examination, direct and cross, of Dr. F. L.

Such cases are rare, but they are recognized by the profession and he regarded heras undeniably insane. In most cases of this kind there was heredity, and victims of puerperal insanity communicated the disease to their children. He adds7d that Alice Mitchell’s form of ma- nia was rarely recovered from.

WESTMINSTER, Mo., July 23.—During the fearful lightning and rainstorm early this morning a bolt of lightning shot out from the clouded heavens, and almost quicker than thought the big Bollingbrooke Stables at Mid- dieburg, Carroll County, were ablaze. Train- ers, stable-boys, hostlers and rubbers, who were sleeping in the stables, were aroused up by the crackling, roaring flames, and the first thoughts were of theanimals, thorough- dreds, representing $500,000, which were at the mercy ofthe fire. Tongues of darting flames shot up through the dense, black smoke of burning hay and made the surroundings almost as light as day, and from every house partly clad men and women rushed tothe scene to lend The first thought all assistance possible. was of the stallion Galore, valued at $30,000, which was in the stable where the lightning struck. All the energies of the horsemen were bent culng this valuable piece flesh. The box stall was open, but the big horse refused to move. Coaxing, threats and the whip were tried in vain. He refused to move until goaded almost to madness by the prodding of several pitch forks he dashed through the smoke and flames and was at liberty. With the greatest difficulty a number of other valuabie horses were freed and driven out in the field, while fourteen perished in the burning stables. Among the cracks which have deen at the Bollingbrooke farm are Holiday, Russell, Homeopathy, Queen Elizabeth, Civil Service, Brittanac, Major Domo, Cayuga, Minnehaha, Dr. Hasbrouck, Dr. Helmuth, Tolu, Druidess, — an ey Insight, Rock and Rye and many others.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 23.—The militia on duty at Coal Creek, where they have been stationed for six months, were the cause ofa serious outbreak yesterday. A miner named Muldoon was arrested for disarming a sol- dier and 500 armed miners gathered for the purpose of effecting the prtsoner’s release. Squire Brown of Briceville was intimidated by this crowd and refused to hear the case, but in the meantime officers had slipped away to Clinton with Muldoon, and the mob finally dispersed without making any further demonstration. Will Be Raised by Force. Cnuicaco, III., July 23.—The Grand Army Posts of Chicago and Rockford, III., will in- vade Franklin, DeKalb County, Mil., Aug. 2, and forcibly raise a United States fag over a school-house. This is the result of a dispute at Franklin. The school trustees proposed to have a ‘‘raising’’ at the school-house. The directors heard of the movement and stopped it. The news spread to an adjoining county and a great American row resulted. Now, the G. A. R. and a lot of patriotic eiti- gens have taken the matter up and they are going to raise the flag.

A Quarrel MARY FOX KILLED BY MATTIE SHER- MAN, HER NEIGHBOR. The Fight Took Place on the Latter’s Porch—Mattie Sherman’s Account of the Affair—She Claims She Was Sud- denly Attacked and That She Acted in Self-Defense. The quarrels of two women over three dogs Friday evening, resulting in the death of one ot the women last night from injuries re- ceived in the ight. The women were Mattie Sherman, 45 years of age, living at 1933 Mor- gan street, and her neighbor, Mary Fox, 25 years old, living at 1935 Morgan street. About 7 o’clock last Friday evening the two began quarreling on the back porch of the Sherman woman’s home. The quarrel brought on an exchange of blows, the women grappled one another and fell to the floor, where a desperate struggle fol- lowed. When it was ended Mattie Sherman was badly bruised about the head, neck and shoulders, and Mary Fox was found to have sustained serious injuries to the head. whether from a blow knocking her down or adminis- tered during the subsequent struggle on the floor of the porch is not definitely settled. Both women were arrested, Mattie Sherman being taken tothe Third District Police Sta- tion and the Fox woman, after having her injuries dressed at the Dispensary, allowed to return home. Atéo’clock yesterday afternoon the Fox woman suddenly became very sick and Dr. Klemm of 1825 Wash street was called in to attend her. She grew worse rapidly and died within two hours afterwards. She was liv- ingat the number mentioned with aman supposed to be her husband, and Mrs, Sher- man lived next door with her husband. Neither of the two women had any children. Upon the news of the Fox woman’s deatha Post- DISPATCH reporter saw Mattie Sherman at the Third District Police Station and obtained her statement: May Fox had been trying to pick a fight with me for some time past,’’ she said, ‘‘and had even attacked my husband, who is an old man, hitting him on the head witha bottle orciub. The trouble was about three dogs which she owned and which kept com- ing on our steps and making a lot of dirt there. Last evening I was sitting at the front of our steps when she came down, both of us having to use the same stairs. She held something under her apron, but 1 thought it wasa bottle which she was in the habit of getting filled with whisky at the saloon acréssthe way. I said nothing to her, but as she reached me She struck me on the back of my head with some weapon I could not see, andthen con- tinued the attack, hitting me on the neck, shoulders and arms, and calling me the vilest names all the while. I was badly hurt, the blood from my wounds running down my face and into my eyes. I grappled with the woman, who is a young Irish girl much stronger than lam, but I did not knock her down. We fell to the floor together and struggled there. She gouged my eyes and pulled out great handfuls of my hair, but 1 never struck her. Iwas trying only to keep her from killing me. After we fell she Iwas in a ceil, some of her friends went on her bond and she was released. I have not seen my husband since lI was arrested. Ido not know how Mary Fox could have been badly hurtaslcertainly did not strike her and bad no weapon o any sort. She was a hard drinker. She used to get drunk every day and then raise trouble with her neigh- bors. My husband bad told me that she would kin me it ever she got a good chance. Ihe death of Mary Fox puts the Sherman woman into a serious position. She is now held awaiting the result of the Coroner’s in- quest, which will be held on Monday. The woman states that she does odd jobs of washing and scrubbing for a living, and speaks bitterly of Mary Fox as having had nothing to do but lay up and drink. Died and Was Robbed. Fredolin Freund, a bachelor, 49 years old, died sitting in a chair yesterday afternoon at No. 21 South Sixth street, and it is claimed that he was robbed of 380 just, before he died. John Berold, his room- mate, went fora doctor as soon as he was taken sick and says that when he left him Freund had $80 and that when he returned with Dr. Zorbell the man was dead and he had no money at all. Several people had been in the room in the meantime and the police are now trying to find out who got the money. Requisition for Logan. Gov. Francis signed the requisition papers last night for the return of George Logan, the St. Louis burglar arrested a couple of days ago at Chicago, and an officer will be sent after himto-day. Circuit Attorney Clo- ver wrote yesterday tothe Chicago author ties advising them to drop their case against Logan, as he could not escape from the ten- ear sentence given him in Sst. Louls ust before he made his escape from jail here last October. Although his appeal case has not as yet been passed upon by the Supreme Court, r. Clover says that there is no doubt at all as to the decision when itis given, as Logan ruined his only chance of securing a reversal by running off. He should have signed his bill of exceptions by a certain time, but didn’t doit, and the testimony in the case wiil not, therefore, be sent to the Supreme Court, and nothing, in fact, but the indictment, which Mr. Clover pronounces without a flaw. Ed Andrew: Rearrested. Ed Andrews, the man who killed Sherman Williams ata stable where they were em- ployed on Olive streetja couple of months ago and was released on bail by Judge Claiborne after his preliminary examination, was re- arrested and, recommitted to jail yesterday, the}present Grand-jury having found an indictment for murder the first degree against him. He was orig - inally charged with murder in the second degree but ‘the degree of the crime was reduced by Judge Claiborne to man- slaughter in the fourth degree. Mrs. William- son, the widow of the murdered man, and the only eye- witness to the tragedy, has dis- appeared and unless she testifies at his trial it — be difficult to convict Andrews of any crime. Drifkamper Released on Bail. John Drifkamper, the man charged with committing a criminal assault on Minnie An- derson, was released from jail on bond yes- terday afternoon. They expected to get married yesterday, but a marriage license was refused on account of the age of the girl, only is years, and they will have to goto some State where there is no legal objection tothe marriage. Sikora Don’t Like the Holdover. Charles C. Sikora, the prisoner who tried to commit suicide with his suspenders in the calaboose a few nights ago, was returned to the lock-up from the City Hospital last night and to-morrow will be transferred to the jail. Sikora begged hard not to be put back in the calaboose, saying that he could stand the jail accommodatons, but had had enough of the caiaboose was likely to bave another kill himself gain.

The First Congressional Nominee. Richard “Bartholdt, the President of the School Board and editor of the German aſter- noon paper, Die Tribune, enjoysthe distinc- tion of being the first nominee for Congress on any ticket in the St. Louis districts. Wednesday last Mr. Bartholdt was given the Richard Bartholdt. Republican nomination in the Tenth Dis- trict, which has an overwhelming Republican majority. This was the only dis- trict assigned the. Republicans by the Demo- cratic managers who gerrymandered the State. Editor Bartnoldt was born in Ger- many, in 1852, and came to this country when a mere lad. He went to work in a newspaper office, and not only learned tue rinting trade, but soon achieved distinction as a writer. He worked for several Eastern papers until 1872 when he came to St. Louis. In 1877 he went to Germany and spent a year or two studying law. On nis return he represented the New York Staats Zeitung for four years as Albany correspondent and later on he was e representative of the same paper in Washington. In 1884 he returned to St. Louis and was given the editorial management of the St. Louis Tribune. He worked at his desk until 1888, when he went out and became a candidate for Congress. He was deteated forthe nomination by WIII- iam M. Kinsey and was again distanced by the same man in 1890. For the past three years Mr. Barthoidt has been a member of the School Board and he is now the president ofthat body. Though a German born Dr. Bartholdt is thoroughly at home with the English language and speaks it correctly without any noticeable dialect. He is very liberal in religious matters, holding that such questions should be Kept entirely out of politics. Ninth Congressional District Squabbie.

How the Various Unions and the Cen- tral Body Are Conducted. MANNER OF INAUGURATING STRIKES AND HOW THEY ARE CARRIED ON. Difference Between the American Federa- tion of Labor and the Knights of La- bor—The Strongest Unions in St. Louis —Some Striking Benefits Which Have Been Gained Through Organization— Principles Underlying the Federation. A shot fired at daybreak on Wednesday, Ju- ly 6, 1892, in the manufacturing village of Homestead, Pa., caused the grave attention of the entire country to be turned tothe prob- lem of American labor. Abloody and astounding battle between typifiedlabor and typified capital had fol- lowed that first shot. The Carnegie steel interests, the most powerful employers of skilied labor in this country, and the great trade union, known as the Amalgamated As- sociation of Iron and Steel Workers of Amer- ica, were the opposing forces. There was a certain political significance attached to the tragedy which added to its element of national interest. Occurring in the year of a presidential election, it supplied tragic material for discussion as developing suddenly an unexpected issue in the national campaign. In its principal feature, the disagreement on a scale of wages, the Homestead labor war involved the merits or shortcomings of the protective tariff as bearing upon the in- terests ofthe working classes. This made the present condition of American labor a matter of peculiar moment. It has asignifi- cant bearing upon the political situation. The SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH recognizes the value ofatimely study of this problem of labor, and has acted upon that recognition. Beginning to-day, it proposes to tell the cur- rent story of labor, as the story is to be gath- ered in the local ranks of wage-workers. There is not a single detail of such a recital that can fall to have its relative value as bearing upon the labor question at large. There is no lack of local material for this study. As one ofthe leading manufacturing cities of the Union, St. Louis has represented in its labor ranksalmost every trade-union or federated labor body in the United States. It hasalsoa large element of unorganized labor. Fromallthe sources of information thus offered, the details of the story of local labor will be gathered. The most distinctive labor landmark in St. Louis is a little two-story bullding on the northeast corner of Fourth and Valentine streets. This is occupied by the Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis and vicinity, a cen- tral organization comprising many local unions of national bodies. The meeting ball and committee rooms are on the second floor of this modest building, while a portion of the ground floor is occupied by the Union Rec- ord, a paper devoted to labor interests. The Trades ana Labor Union does not rep- resent the full strength of organized labor in St. Louis. It hasin its membership a total of fifty-eight unions or labor organizations, but nearly alithese are either members of the American Federation of Labor or of bod- jes affiliating with that order. Besides these, there are also in St. Louis the district assemblies of the Knights of Labor, the pow- erful German trade organization known as the Central Arbeiter Verein and some few smaller local unions. The Central Arbeiter Verein works in har- mony with the Trades Assembly, as the Trade and Labor Union is also called. The Knights of Labor are the uncompromising rivals of the American Federation of Labor, the mother order of the Trades Assembly. Those two great labor bodies are divided primarily on the vital issue of the principle of trade unionism. The American Federa- tion of Labor is a stanch believer in the trade union and its dominant idea, the ‘‘fixed scale of wages. It has in its membership all the trade union bodies modeled on the English idea, including the Amaigamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers now engaged in a life and death struggle with the Carnegie interests at Homestead. The Knights of Labor ignore the trade union re- quirements in their membership, and take in all labor, skilled or unskilled. The ‘‘fixed scale of wages’’ also cuts no figure in their dealings with employers. With their motto, An injury to one is an injury to all,“ they claim to protect the interests of their mem- bers, whenever really assailed, by general action unhampered by the cast iron rules of trade unionism. On this rock the two organ- igations split long since, and they now stand as the repres@ntatives of the two great au- tagonistic Jabor divisions of trade unionism and anti-trade unionism. As the local representative of the trade- union idea, the Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis, in its organization, offers most in- teresting materia! for study. It has its well- defined mission which it proclaims clearly in its platform. That utterance calls for ne emancipation of the laborer from the bonds of wage slavery,’’ for the co-operation of all departments of productive industry in de- fending and advancing the interests of the working classes, for the payment of current wages by employers with preference of work to union members, for the settlement of dis- putes between employers and employes by arbitration instead of strikes, for tiie eight- hour work-dav, for non- competition with prison or reformatory labor, for the aboli- tion of child labor, for factory, mine and tenement inspection, compulsory education and free text-books, for the repeal of laws discriminating against labor, and for the right of boycott. ‘he basis of membership of the Trades and Labor-U nion is as follows: All delegates must be from trades and labor unions affiliated either with a national union of their trade or with the American Federation of Labor. Fromeach union of 100 members or less, three delegates, and for each additional 100 or majority fraction thereof one additional delegate. Trade councils of several unions ofonetrade are entitledtoone delegate to every 100 ofits members. No employer can serve as a deiegate, and no person is eligible who is not an active member of his trade or- ganization, or directly employed by his union. The present officers’ of the Trades and Labor Union are: Henry Blackmore, President. J. W. Sullivan, Vice-President. Fred Westermeyer, Financial Secretary. C. P. Connelly, Recording secretary. II. Newmark, Sergeant-at- Arms. STRENGTH OF ORGANIZED LABOR. Of the numerical strength represented by the Trades Assembly Secretary Connelly Says The strength of the bodies represented in this central body reaches nearly twelve thousand, though this does not nearly repre- sent the entire organized strength of the city and immediate vicinity, which reaches a total of 18,900. The local strength of unor- ganized la bor is not actually known. Unor- ganized labor does not necessarily mean ‘scab’ labor, as sO many people suppose. A man does not become a ‘scab’ until his actions are such as to entitle him to that appellation.’’ The question of politics in the Trades As- - gembly is made the subject of an article in its gonstitution as follows: rt. 8. sec. 1. This union bas no authority to en- dier into or affiliate with any political and ~~ gould not bind unions re en in do to enz political setion- Let this body shall dis- ied by: h realization his under a = of the power ledged to 2 Br use r labor, by that The laboring element has begun to lose faith,’’ he said, ‘‘in the promises of the two older parties, and the present tendency of the independent labor vote is to the third party. But a large per cent still cling to their old beliefs and affiliate with the two great parties. **‘A great many workingmen,’’ continued Mr. Connelly, ‘‘who formerly believed in the tariff as a benefit to labor are now — to realize that in spite of an increased tari wages are going lower, and the large manu- facturers are constantly seeking an oppor- tunity to cut them. They grow restless under this system, and think that anything in the nature of a change would be welcome, at least until it proves to be more disastrous than the present condition. Many intelligent men in labor circles thina that much is to be accomplished by holding the balance of power, and affiliating with eitherof the two old parties from whom we can gain most.’’ METHOD OF ORGANIZATION. The organization ofa trade-union, its ad- mission into a national body of its trade, and its delegate representation in the Trades Assembly, torm part of the interesting de- tails of the system of organized labor, of which the general public knows but little. The method of organizing differs with differ- ent trades, all skilled trades, with few ex- ceptions, having distinctive methods of their own. But, although differing in minor de- tail, inthe main they are the same. Under the American Federation of Labor the sys- tem is as follows: Inst. Louis there are two **District Organizers.’’ Workers in any trade or avocation desiring to be organ- ized notify one of these organizers, who meets with them and explains the workings and advantages of bodies under this system. The charter listis made up,and a formal application made to the central body of the American Federation of Labor. The charter is sent, the local body is insti- tuted, given its name and number, the num- ber being given in order asthe charters are issued. Its delegates are then elected to the Trades and Labor Union, though this is en- tirely optional, credentials are given them, and upon acceptance by the Trades and La- bor Union and payment of the initiation fee of $1 they become an affiliated body. The control exercised over these various affiliated bodies by the Trades and Labor Union 1s limited, being simply moral. HOW STRIKES ARE MANAGED. Naturally, the most widely interesting feature of all organized labor, tothe general public, is the question of strikes, what con- stitutes just grounds forthemandthe meth- ods dy Which a duly authorized strike is put into effect. According tothe statements of local labor authorities, this is a difficult phase of the labor system to illustrate. The grounds for strikes vary quite widely, and all unions are counseled against striking until all other means have nm exhausted. ina majority of cases strikes are brought about by disputes over wages, a large per cent being on account of re- ductions. When a strike is under- taken by an affiliated body, the local body must first endeavor to effect a settlement; in case of failure it may then lay its case before the central body in writing, stating the as; sistance desired. If it is demonstrated tothe satisfaction of the central body that the local body has exhausted its own resources in the premises, then it will refer the matter to its GrievanceC ommittee, who will at once take the whole matter in charge, and all delegates will notify their respective bodies, upon which all assistance will be rendered the local body that the exigencies of the case demand. The strike is then fairly on. The Grievance Committee into whose hands the management of all strikes is placed, consists of five members appointed by the President of the Trades Assembly, and their reports are made to the assembly in writing, with their recommendations for the settle- ment of the grievances referred to them. All grieVances, real or supposed, are discussed only in executive session. There is one notable feature in the history of the Trades and Labor Union. Under its constitution that body bas authority to levy on its affliiated bodies an assessment not ex- ceeding 5 cents per capita to carry out the objects set forth in its platform. An assess- ment has not been levied within the past ten years. STRENGTH OF THE DIFFERENT UNIONS. The Typographical Union js the strongest and most influential trade union in St. Louls. There are others which exceed itin point of numbers, but inalithe essentials that con- stitute strength the Typographical Union stands foremost. The carpenters’ and cigar makers’ unions will rank second, and the va- rious other organizations would be hard to classify inthe order of their strength. The position of the three named ts due to thor- ough organization, conservatism and intelli- gent management of their internal affairs. They are conservative in their views and never make demands until they have been thoroughly discussed and understood, and they are convinced of the justice thereof. They are always willing tc arbitrate, but in. sist firmly and use all honorable means to se- cure their rights. The great middle Class of the people, having confidence in such meth- ods, largely lend thelr moral support to these bodies, andasa general thing they are on unbroken good terms with their employers. CLASSES OF MECHANICS. Whenever a particularly puzzling question, involving statistical knowledge, is put to an officer of the local Trades Assembly, he refers the questioner to Hugh T. McMurtry of Labor Commissioner Hall’s office, as a man who knows it all.“ Mr. McMurtry is an old labor man and, in reply to certain ques- tions from the SUNDAY Post-DISPATcH, he furnished some valuable labor information. ein St. Louis,’’ said Mr. McMurtry, ‘*there are 354 distinct classes of mechanics possessed of greater or less skill in their respective trades. Many of these are or- ganized thoroughly, while others are numer- ically too weak to have an organization of their own. Of the wage-workers belonging to these classes on March 1, 1892, there were 77,082 men, 6,678 boys under 16 years of age and 18,188 females of all ages employed in 7,309 workshops, the total number being 96,893. Of these, about one-third are ordin- ary laborers. Counting in other vocations not ‘strictly mechanical, there are in st. Louis 130,856 people Who earn their bread by manual labor. f this total, 1 can say that about one-third are members of either some trade union or Knights of Labor assembly. EIGHT-HOUR MOVEMENT. „Ot the present status of the eight-hour movement, outside of the building trades, the cigar-makers and a few other organiza- tions, but little has been done to enforcea reduction of hours. The present determina- tion among tradesmen of al! classes is to first strengthen their organizations and then en- deavor to have the elght-hour day enforced. Whether to insist upon ten hours’ pay for eight hours’ work, or to merely insist upon a reduction of hours, leaving the wages ques- ti for subsequent consideration, is as yet with man gf oven, question, with many of the wade inevitable. 3 | labor - point of view. „Organized labor,“ he says, has little confidence in either of the leading political rties, and expects from them only such egisiation as the parties themselves may deem prudent to prevent the wholesale de- sertion from their ranks of the laboring classes. But what labor desiresis very ditr- erent from what it exvects. bor desires the Government shall not interfere in State or nation in any differences between employer and employe, unless requested to arbitrate, and that equal legal protection shall be given to capital and labor, without prejudice or favor; that no permission or sanction be given any band of armed men to sell their services to a corporation to compel submission on the part of employes; that the militia of a State shall be used only to assist the civil author!- ties In the performance of lawful duties, and not used as a menace to peaceful and law- abiding citizens, that the importation of for- eigniabor be strictly prohibited; that all laws relating to shorter work hours, whether national, State or municipal, be rigidly in- forced, and thatintke enactment of future legislation nothing shall be made a law which will tend to the creation of classes or benefit one calling at the expense of another.“ ACHIEVEMENTS OF ORGANIZED LABOR. Regarding the local strength of organized labor, Mr. McMurtry stated that the present strength of local organizations is just five times as great as it was ten years ago. many or- ganizations which had gone into decay hav- ing taken on new life, while some that had no existence atthat time are now flourishing bodies. Of the present condition of wages as compared with ten years ago the following interesting figuaes were given: The building trades, embracing many unions of different crafts,now receive on the average 20 per cent higher wages than was the case ten years back. This is owing to the reduction of working hours from ten to eight as a day’s work at the same wage. The panne mill men have also secure a similar advance in most instances. Book and job printers have scored no advance, but newspaper printers are now better off by ii per cent. Journey- men tallors, witha reduction of hours from twelve to ten, count that as a wage advance of 16 per cent. Strange to say, what are known asthe metal workers, embracing the iron and steel trades, etc., which are most di- rectly affected by the protective tariff, have made no wage advance during the past de- cade. McMurtry accounts for this by attrib- uting ittothe introduction of labor-saving machinery in those lines. Discussing the Homestead troubles, Secre- tary Connelly of the Trades Assembly regrets the absence of arbitration. The real cause of the Homestead affair,’’ he says, ‘‘lies below the surface. It is the condition which makes such things irene that is wrong. There are several things combined which bring about the system, and which are patent to every one who has given the matter thought. The most practical remedy at present is arbitra- tion—arbitration free rom even the taint of corruption and a law compelling obedience to tne decision of the tribunal arbitrating.’’ The Irades- Assembly Secretary gave as one significant feature of the lavor situation of to-day, the fact of the large infiux of young blood into the ranks of organized labor. A heavy percent of the apprentices are coming into the folds of trade unions,’’ he stutes, ‘‘andal)of them are enthusiasts in the cause, having been constantly surrounded | by union influences, and readily grasping the advantages to be derived therefrom. Besides, the young men are quick to discern that the cream of workingmen are found within the union ranks.’’ On the topic of the relations between em- ployer and employe, Secretary Connelly speaks as follows: ‘*The basis for a thorough and mutually Satisfactory understanding between em- ployer and employe les solely with the em- ployer. Whenever a disposition is mani- fested by the employer to concede that the employe has rights that he feeis bound to re- spect and protect, itresults in a feeling of respect and admiration on the part of the employe and a desire to promote the interest of his employer. This, more than any one thing, will form the basis for a better under- standing between the two.’’ WORK OF THE CENTRAL BODY. The affairs of the Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis and vicinity are managed by the following elected officers: President, Vice- President, Recording and Corresponding Secretary, Financial Secretary, Treasurer, a Finance Committee of Three, Delegate to American Federation of Labor, and Board of Directors consisting of ive Representatives. The standing committees are those of or- ganization and credentials, labels, printing, ways and means, resolutions and amend- ments, and grievance. OF these, the work of the Committee on Labels is least understood by the general public. The constitution of the union pro- vides that the Committee on Labels shall have charge of all label work, endeavor to secure the use of labelson all union-made articles, and impress upon the manufactur- ers the benefits derived from the use of la- bels. They shall also have charge of such secret work of this unionasthe union may feel disposed to place in their hands.“ The committee consists of five members, and its chief duties are the management of boycotts. As stated, there are fifty-eig'ut trade unions or other labor organizations represented in the Trades and Labor Union. The list is as follows: Architectural tron workers and chippers.

Charter Taken Out for a Benevolent and Protective Association. The street-car employes of the city who have organized themselves into a benevolent and protective association have been granted a charter by the American Federation of Labor, and the organization will be known in the future as the Street-Car Men’s Protective and Benevolent Association, They claim to have initiated fifty-two new members within the past two weeks and to have numerous applications for admission to the association on file. Allapplications are made in writing, duly signed by the applicant. The charter granted by the American Federation of Labor was obtained upon a petition signed by the fol- lowing men: Chas. Morgner, Albert Johnson, M. J. Me- Knight, J. P. Dwyer, W. Dooley, E. Me- Quarters, Christ James, George McCormick, Walter Smith, John Stabee, kd Kelly and C. E. Williams. Ata meeting held for the pur- pose the association elected the following officers: Chas. Morgner, President; J. P. Dwyer, Guide; George McCormick, Corre- sponding secretary and Treasurer; Walter Smith, Recording Secrelary. Meetings of the orwanization were held from time to time before the receipt of their char- ter, but from now on regularly fixed dates will be designated for this purpose, President Gompers, of the American Feder- ation of Labor, has issued a call for a Nation- al Convention of all drivers, conductors, motormen and other street car employes to be held Monday, sept. 12, 1892, at Indianap- olis, Ind.

ATTENTION CALLED TO THE POPE’S EN- CYCLICAL ON LABOR. The Pastors Urged to Exert Their In- fluence in Behalf of the Musicians’ Union and to Oppose the Evils of Child Labor— Pointed Paragraphs From Pope Leo’s Letter. The Musicians’ Mutual Benefit Association of St. Louis, or Local No. 8 of the National League of Musicians, has, through its Presi- dent, Owen Miller, and its Secretary, Louis Knittel, addressed the following to Arch- bishop Kenrick, Vicar-General Brady and to each Catholic priest in the city: Most REVEREND Sir—The undersigned associa- tion, composed of the professional musicians of this city, organized for the purpose of bettering our con- dition and elevating our art, and, in view of the fact that His Holiness, the Most Reverend Pope Leo XIII, has addressed an encyclical letterto the Ven- erable Brethren, Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops and Bishops of the Catholic world onthe condition of labor, we moss respectfully call your attention to our condition and efforts, and, believing that once knowing the facts, you will exert your beneficent influence in our behalf, as being exactly in line with the encyelical of the servantof the servants of God! Quoting from paragraph three of the eacyclicai, it says: Ide ancient workmen’s guilds were destroyed in the last century, and no other organization took their place. Publie institutions and laws have re- pudiated the ancient religion. Hence, it has come to pass that workingmen have been given over, isolated and defenseless to the callousness of em- ployers, and the greed of unrestrained competition.’’ Again, in paragraph thirty-seven itsays: It follows that whatever shall appear to be con- ducive to the well-being of those who work should receive favorable consideration.“ In paragraph 45 the evils of child quently portrayed. Paragraph 53 says The most important of all are workingmen’s as- sociations; for these virtualiyincludeall the rest. History attests what excellent results were affected by the artificers’ guilds ofa former day. They were the means of not only many advantages te the work- men, but in no small degree of the advancement of art, as numerous monuments remain to prove such associations should be adapted to the requirements of the age in which we live—an age of greater instruction, of different customs and of more namerous requirements in daily life. itis gratifying to know that there are actually in existence nota few societies of this nature, consisting either of workmen alone, orof workmen and employers to- gether; but it were greatiy to be. desired that they should multiply and become more effective. We have spoken of them more than once, but it will be well to explain here how much they are needed; to show that they exist in their own right and to enter into their organization and their work. The subject is forcibly dilated upon in paragraph fifty-four as follows: The experience of his own weakness urges man to cali in help from without. We read in the pages of holy writ: It is better that two should be together than one; for they have the advantage of their society, Ifone fall he shall be supported by the other. Woe him that is alone, for when he falleth he hath none to liit him up. And further: A brother that is helped by his brother is like a strong city.’’ Paragraphs 58, 59, 60, 61, 64, and in fact almost every word ofthe encyclical discusses this subject and exhausts it in a manner that is the admiration of the civilized world. We quote these beautiful, logical and eloquent ex- tracts from the encyclical of His Holiness to show that the head of the church recognizes the necessity of men who work fora living combining in associa- tions to protect themselves against unfair competi- tion, child labor, and the greed of employers, and of the church, through its prelates, encouraging such associations as much as possible compatible with the interest of the church and humanity. Our associa- tion is eminently one of such a character. We suffer from all the evils so eloquently portrayed by His Holiness, and our sole endeavor, since we have been organized, has been to eradicate the evilsof unfair competition, child labor and the greed of employers, and we regret to say that one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of achiev- ing successin this laudable endeavor has been the labor are elo- church, probably not directly but indirectly, but still in a manner that to a certain extent brings it under the supervision ot the shepherds of the flocks to whom His Holiness directly addresses his magnifi- cent and humane encyclical. THE ASSOCIATION. This association is composed of men who by lon yoars of study and close Application have A their talents sufficiently to make a living by laboring exclusively in the field of one of the noblest of arts. One we are proud to say the church has done much toennoble, We suffer from unfair competition from the fact that there are many who, following other vocations, and having a little proficiency as musi- cians, take every opportunity to compete against us. Their working t other yocations enables them at ali times Oa us. They refuse to join us, because suffer from child labor in probably its most hideous form. Little children developing some talent for music are taught to grind outa few simple tunes and straightway farmed out by heartless speculators to furnish music for all occasions at one-half or one- third the sum that adults would cost. It is no uncommon sight to see children of tender years performing on musical instruments at picnics, excursions, balls, etc., drinking beer, smoking cigars and hearing and seeing things, all of which together can only tend to make a physical, mental and moral wreck of a child raised in such an atmosphere. In almost every parade ip this city children from 8 to 16 years of age can be seen at- tempting the double task of inflating the lungs to breathe and at the same time blowing a wind instru- ment, which tries the lungs of the strongest man, and can only be acquired by long practice, and there are hundreds of professional musicians unable to do this class of work, because physically unable, There would be some excuse for this if it were necessary as instruction, but the motives forthe use of children on such occasions are invariably mercenary. We suffer from the greed of employers, because employers almost without exception will get their Jabor in the cheapest market, regardless of quality. Unfair competition and child labor as we suffer from makes it easy for employers to satisfy their greed, regardless of the moral, religious or humane issue involved, We have endeavored to clearly explain our posi- tion, because in our experience we have found that on nearly all occasions where an affair of any kind is given by the church either directly or inairectly— oftener the latter—where musical labor was re- quired, unfair competition and child labor were given the preference. Numerous instances could be cited showing such to be the case. Two will suffice to explain Sunday, May 15, 1892, the corner-stone of the Church ofthe Holy Ghost was laid with imposing and solemn ceremonies. A large number of the parishes participated, all employing musical labor, and all except the parish of St. Peter and Paul gave the preference to unfair competition mixed with child labor. Onevery 17th of March throughout the world, wherever there is a son of the Emerald Isle, a cele- bration is held in honor of one of the grandest men ot ali time. Although not strictly a religious affair, still itis undeniably controlled by men who are of the holy Catholic faith. In but one instance in seven years, but what unfair competition and child labor have been given the musical labor for that day in this city. We do not wish to be understood as belleving that this is done deliberately. Did we think so, we would not address this letter to your Reverence. We be- lieve it is done because of the want of information and thought upon the subject, and we take this means of bringing it to the attention of the good Catholic people of St. Louis, belley- ing that once they understand the matter they will act in = accora- ance with the Injunction of the servant of the servants of God in recognizing and encouraging as- sociations of men whose object isto better the con- dition and elevate the standing of those who toil for their daily bread, let it be in whatever capacity it may, 60 long as it is honest, legitimate and humane. We, therefore, hope chat in our effort to better our condition and elevate our art we may have the assistance of your Reverence on the lines as laid down by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII.

CHESTER, July 23.~The’ Chautauqua at Chester has been a great success. One of the features of the week was the ‘reception of Mexican veterans. About thirty of them were present and listened to a ‘fine address by Hon. Nick Perrin of Belleville. A mest- ing was.atterwards held and presided over 5 by Maj. Tufts of Centralia, at which a rs tion was passed and a committee appointed to request the National Assoctation of Unton Veterans to invite the survivin Mexican HS st agg me 5 4 to meet shea at the orld’s Fair. The veterans were the gu of the Mayor of Chester. . ** On the afternoon of the reception of the veterans there was a windstorm which at One time threatened destruction to the tents. The evening was devoted to a combined concert of orchestra and chorus class. Miss Hendrie of Washington, by request, zave her recitalof the Bald Headed Man, whieh convulsed the entire assembly with laughter, although she had given it here before. To an encore she responded with a beautiful Shakesperean rendition; after which Rolla Kirk ryan, with his wonderful talkin: chalks, appeared onthe stage and asked audience to ‘‘lend me your eyes,’’ which he opened bya? & wide for the possessors by mak ing his chalks.evolve pigs out of peaches, birds out of flowers, tom cats out of salt bags and the Thanksgiving turkey out of a goblet, at the same time givinz his humorous lee- ture, of which the pictures were illustrations.

ST. LOUISANS IN THE EAST, SEASON FAIRLY BEGUN THOUGH WESTERN PEOPLE ARE SCARCE. Bosrox, July 23.—Summer is in its heyday, but the season is only fairly begun. At the beaches there have been thousands, but in- land the dirds of passage are few and far between, and their greenback plumage has been despolled by visitations to the shore resorts.

NEWPORT, July 19.—The dove dinner bas followed the summer girl to the seashore, and the young man with the blazer and bright-hued sash is in despair. Being a wise youth, and having the experience of the past winter fresh in his memory, he knows what this means for him. It means that half a dozen of the brightest women of his ac- quaintance will devote the summer to a joy- ous round of mysterious festivities. It means that elaborate means will figure in these, and experience meetings and ama- teur skirt dancing and a lot of good stories. It means (and this reflection is what embit- Wat Ke gl 7a: * : fi Vt aint j | : A Glimpse of the Table. ters the life of the young man) that he him self will be as much a stranger to these inno- cent diversions as if he were notin Newport with his trunks, his new clothes and his joy- ous expectations, Three or four small and early’’ dove din- ners were given here last week. AS Many more are onthe tapis, although no invita- tions have been issued. ‘That, by the way, is characteristic of the fad. These affairs are arranged and conducted with asecrecy which can only be compared tothe dense gloom that surrounded Mrs. Paran Stevens’ hy pno- tism party of two years ago. Five guests are considered sufficient. The large dining-room is rejected and the boudoir ofthe hostess usually serves as the back- ground of the festive scene. Doves are every- where that doves can be. From the chande- lier three or four swing alrily above the table. Tiny doves are rampant on the menu cards. The Shadow Dance. Embroidered doves ornament the napkins, and the five doves who meet to enjoy all this come in full evening dress, with a small imi- tation dove perched upon the left shoulders. Every woman is required to tell at least one story. She risestothe occasion and is with difficulty restrained from telling a dozen. She rises more and more as time passes, and in less than an hour all five women are talk- ing at once, whilethe discreet maid takes mental notes forthe benefit of her friends in the kitchen. Many and varied are the tales related. The champagne glasses are filled frequently—rather more frequently than if this were nota dove dinner, Cigar- ettes come on between the courses, and are lighted with an aplomb and deftness which would make the hair of chaperons stand on end. Then some obliging young woman, witha talent for skirt-dancing and a desire to exhibit it, proceeds to entertain her friends. The lights are lowered. From plano or banjo or music box, as the case may be, come the seductive strains of the ‘‘skirt dance.’’ There may be variety in the instruments, but never in the old famillar air, The young PR The Butterfly Dance. woman does her turn and subsides with blushing honors thick upon her. Fired with a spirit of emulation, another gives a shadow dance. The guests by this time have lett the table and are luxuriously ensconced on Turkish divans. A general feeling of fellowship now being enjoyed, the woman who has not yet learned way, wo * l mu ‘oon r prised to know how good the imitations are. Then, when everybody is thorou ex- hausted, there is a retreat to the divans and ghost stories are in are the The more ghast 9 rena tt who has {flue — ‘ — V 8 ; — — = 1 * 0 \ 5 — RACING FASHIONS, DESCRIPTION OF SOME OF THE cos- TUMES SEEN AT THE GRAND PRIX. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH, Paris, July 13.—I regret to say that the fashions in dress of the present day in Paris are not adapted for effective display in car- riage wear. The soft, clinging crapes and crepons that form the for full-dress promenade toilets re- quire an erect position and movement on the part of their wearers to show off to good advantage their graceful folds and delicate hues, as well as the artistic beauty of the hand embroideries that form their most artistic trimming. The prettiest hats worn at the Grand Prix were in Leghorn straw with wide brims, and adorned with a profusion of roses andof ostrich plumes. One very striking headgear of this description had the brim crinkled in a novel style, and in each of the creases thus produced were set two roses without foliage, one pink and the other yellow, while the crown was adorned with a cluster of yellow plumes. Mme. Carnot’s costume, all in varying shades of purple and lilac, was exceedingly admired, as was also her dainty little bonnet trimmed with Parmese violets, and her white lace parasol with a trail of artificial violets start- ing from its apex and continuing down on side tothe edge, I think this charming nov- elty inthe hands of Mme. la Presidente will bring artificial flowers for parasol trimming _ into fashion. Another very original parasol was entirely composed of large green leaves (arti- ficial of course) overlapping each other and forming a verdant and appropriate shelter. It was more practical if less picturesque than was one in pale pink fallle, studded all over with artificial pink rose petals, so cunningly fastened to the silk that they looked as though they had just been showered down over the surface of the parasol from their parent bush. The dainty transparent parasols in gauze adorned with ruches of the material and made without lining, and those in rafes of white lace over a foundation of white gauze and also unlined, looked very airy and elegant, but utterly failed to pro- tect the features of their possessors from the ardent rays of the unclouded June sun. Another one of the later exaggerations of fashion has been found in the sudden craze of petticoats, of great richness of material and of trimmings as well, to be worn in com- paratively simple costumes. The gorgeous underskirts (for it seems a misnomer to call them petticoats) are composed of taffetas finished at the hem with three flounces with pinked edges, or of small patterned brocade bordered with a deep flounce of white lace, the silks always in the most delicate of even- ing dress colors, contrasting with the hues of the costume. Isawat the Grand Prix the other day a pretty and stylish damsel holding up the train of her dress in silver gray crape over a petticoat in pale pink taffetas, and another arrayed in white crepon, whose deftly carried skirt revealea a petticoat in lilac satin, brocaded with a narrow rim in cream white and bor- dered with a full flounce in cream lace. But that was a full-dress occasion, and the gowns thus ‘‘ petticoated’’—to literally trans- late the French word ‘‘juponne’’—were of equally dressy materials. It does look comi- cal, however, to see a fashtonable lady prom- enading on the Champs Elysees or in the Bois de Boulogne wearing a costume in common- place mousseline de laine or cloth, caught up over a fiounced taffetas skirt in pale blue, or absinthe green, or faintest tea rose; ea toilette that cost perhaps $25 worn with a petticoat worth double thatamount. And be it noted that there is no possibility of making over one’s discarded ball dresses to serve for these rich underskirts. Fashion demands for them immaculate freshness, andasthey are made very little shorter than are the trained skirts worn over them, their constant re- pewal forms an important factor in the ex- pense ofa feminine wardrobe of the day. This fashion will not, however,jsurvive the summer, I should think. The day afterthe Grand Prix the weather took a sudden turn for the worse,and became cold and showery to the great detriment andin some instancestothe destruction of Sunday garden parties and other open air festivities, for whose planning the warm sunny weather of the past three weeks had formed a pretext. The Princess de Sagan gave one on Wednesday last which was transformed by the threatening skies and chilly breezes intoan indoor enter- tainment. The toilet of the hostess, in white slik brocaded with tiny scattered sprays of flowersin their natural hues, and having sleeves in red velvet, was exceed. ingly picturesque and becoming. Mme, Ribot, the wife of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has issued cards fora garden party to take place in the extensive grounds of the Ministerial Hotel, but the guests are specially informed that they will be expected even should it rain, for in case of such a contretemps the vast draw- ing rooms of the official residence will be thrown open to receive them. Madame Ribot, as may be remembered, is an Amerit- can lady. She was originally a Miss Burch of Chicago, Mrs. J. O. Ayer closed brilliantly her series of entertainments on Monday last with a soiree musicale at which the famous tenor, Van Dyck, was the principal performer. The spacious drawing-rooms of her hotel on the Rue de Constantine were crowded with a large and elegant assemblage. LUCY H. HOOPER, A SUMMER DINING-ROOM.

CHATELAINE FOR HOUSEKEPERS, It Is Serviceable and Is Always Within Easy Reach. Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Disraron. You may tell the true housewife by her chatelaine. She would no more enter upon row in a bive- owers bright- her belt than her literary sister would sit down to work without her blotters and pens in order before her. The housewife carries the keys in her chat- elaine. She also has a set of ivory—or it may be celluloid—tablets on which are the orders ofthe day written. When she reads her let- ters at the breakfast table she neither lays them carelessly on the dining-room mantel nor does she make a journey to her desk to pigeon-hole them. She drops them into the convenient chatelaine. If, her morning's transactions with butcher, baker and candlestick-maker. bills or receipts come in, they are put into the chatelaine, If. her neighbor runs in witha neatly written rule for gumbo soup or me- ringue glace, that also is deposited for the time in the useful little bag, together with the clipping on paint- cleaning from the morn- ing paper.

GOWNS OF GINGHAM| LACE AND EMBROIDERY MAKE THEM VERY ATTRACTIVE, alien Written for the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATOH. It was of silk and lace in the original old rose - silk and cream-colored point d' Irelande. The clever girl looked at it carefully and ad- mired. Then she went off and purchased eight yards of plain pink chambray and a piece of very lace-like embroidery. She made a smooth-fitting waist and plain skirt of the chambray anda princess overdress of the embroidery. The skirt opened a little way up on each side, leaving a point of the pink visible. The bodice part of the princess — A Gown of Lace. gown was cut square in both back and front, with shoulder straps ofthe embroidery con- necting. A wide sash of pink ribbon passed under the embroidery in front through open- ings made on side and tied ina bow in the back. The full sleeves were of plain pink and the collar also. Andthe gingham gown was quite as pretty in color effectsas the silk from which it was copied and had the added advantages of being washable and cheap. One of the prettiest summer cloth gowns shown this season was at the same time one A Summer Cloth. ofthe simplest. It was a yellowish ground with a hair stripe in black. The skirt fitted smoothly over the hips and was plaited in the back. A bias fold three inches wide, piped with black silk, trimmed the bottom. The bodice was plain, fastening at the waist line beneath a pointed girdle. A vest of yel- lowish lace formed the front. A zouave Jacket of black silk pointed inthe back and having long pointed revers infront gave an appearance of piquancy to the simple cos- tume. The full sleeves were puffed into deep cuffs of black silk. Another pretty summer gown was made almost entirely of the popular gulpure lace. The skirt was composed of two flounces over cS, > . 3 * «» Creum-colored foundation. The bodice was gathered in a diagonal way that would have made the wearer look one-sided bat for the fact that it was tacked down to a plain lining. The very full sleeves were of cream-colored silk ending in mitten cuffs of the lace. Lace and embroidery are by far the most popular materials for summer gowns. The gingham, chambray or silk that pretends to be made up with them is usually utilized only as a foundation and sleeves.

Pretty Boots for the Boulevard and Slip- 5 pers for the Boudoir. Written fer the SUNDAY Posr-Disr Aron. All the dealers of St. Louis have received from Paris during the past week samples of the footwear that is going to be tashionable this summer. They are exceedingly dainty and pretty, and they will be deeply interest- ing to every woman who has a laudable de- sire to keep up with the Lindell boulevard and Olive street processions. Note in the beginning that the laced shoe is the queen of 92. It has a neatness and smoothness of fit which we are told the but- ton shoe can never hope to attain, but it will have eyelet holes all the way up and not lace — 11 at the top like men’s shoes. There is good reason for this—clasps would catch in the skirts. The most stylish and comfortable laced boot isan English idea—the Picadilly Blucher. This hasa full swell tothe outside of the foot and is a good walkin g shoe. The Picadilly Blucher has light calf, kid or tent leather vamp, with Kid top. Patent eather has come to stay, and few shoes are made in which it does not figure as tips, vamps or facings. Uppers of vesting cloth— thet is, black cloth with small brocade fig- ures in it—are the proper things. All the shoes have long tips and the tendency is toward neat, plain styles. Russet shoes will be worn in the same shapes and the russet leather will be dark—about chocolate color. Russia leather should be oiled every three weeks with neatsfoot oil to prevent it from cracking. Oxford ties come in various shapes, all of them pretty. Kid, cloth, suede and patent leather are the materials, and combinations of these form very effective designs. An — at bootees was made last sum mer, but the tops were too high. Conse- quently they turned over, were uncomfort- able and were dismal failures. This season they are onthe market again and they are successes. They are like an Oxford, but high in front, and they give a delicacy of outline to the ankle and foot whichis bound to make them popular. Thetop in front should not —. Sof 1 N - ¢ 9 > AYA ‘ 6 ‘ SLA be more than an inch anda half higher than the rest. The bootee is made of the same material as the Oxford tie. Canvas goods will be very popular for the country and summer resorts. White, gray- brown and gray-green will be the popular shades, andan exceedingly handsome shoe is a gray Derby Oxford trimmed with white kid. Red slippers, and even red Oxfords, will be worn to a considerable extent. They are very excellent for house wear, but it 1s questionable taste to wear them in the street. In rural districts and at picnicsin the parks the wearer can be forgiven for using them as walking shoes, but strictly speaking their squeak should never be heard outside the house, A word as to the deplorable and mistaken fashion in overgaiters or spats. Women should never wear them, for spats are clumsy, unattractive and generally useless. „ For House and Picnics. The foot clad in an overgaiter looks bulky and large. With low shoes on a rainy or muddy day orin extremely cold weather for the sake of warmth overgaiters are allow- able. Leather laces in shoes form a breach of taste that is absolutely unpardonable. Cloth laces, and cloth only, should be worn, and these must match the shoes. The evening and house slippers are made inevery shade, pink, light green, white, etc., and some of the goods are beaded while others have bows and buckles. Gold and sil- ver slippers are passe and bronze and other metal-colored offenses are relegated to back shelves. In satin footwear the slipper should match the gown in color. Where the question of expense must be te aga black or gray is entirely correct and looks well with anything. Beaded goods will be worn toa very limited extent, though bows and buckles will be unf. versal. Buckles are small and made of mother-of pearl, gold and silver, or gilt metal, asthe case may be. A Song in the Wood. I found ashy little violet root Halt hid in the woods, on a day of spring, And a bird flew over, and looked at it, too, And for joy, as he looked, he began to sing, The sky was the tenderest blue above— And the flower like a bit of tho sky below; And between them the wonderful winds of On heavenly errands went to and fro. Away from the summer, and out of the South The bird had followed a whisper true, As out from the brown and desolate sod Stepped the shy little blossom, with eyes of blue. And he sang to her, in the young spring day, Of all the joy in the world astir; And her beauty and fragrance answered him, While the spring and he bent over her.

Here’s a Valuable Suggestion for the Slaves of Fashion. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. There were two women coming along Broadway the otherday. Oneof them per- formed the remarkable feat of carryinga card- case, purse, handkerchief and small package in the hand which also held up her skirt, while the other hand managed her parasol and a small reticule. Her companion walked along unencumbered except by her parasol and her skirt, which was held high enough to reveal several flounces on her silk petticoat. The burdened woman suddenly became aware of this fact. "Wher, Catherine, ’*? she exclaimed, ‘‘where are all your things?“ * What things? inquired Catherine, amic- a y. ‘*‘Why, your handkerchief and purse and that card of pearlstuds you bought and— everything. „Oh, those, said Catherine indifferently. They are in my pocket. The lady of the parcels turned and flashed a look of utter unbelief upon the unburdened Catherine. **Do you mean to tell me,’’ said she, that there is a pocket in that bell skirt of yours? Where is it? And what dressmaker ever allowed you to have it? Mine would no more let me have a pocket than she would let me go without a train or fit me without stays.’’ Catherine smiled the superior smile of a woman who has ingenuity, and withdrawing into the comparative seclusion of a photos rapher’s show case revealed her secret. She merely clutched her serge skirt so that an inch or two more of the beruffied tticoat was visible, and there, low on the right side of that piece of silken frivou.ity was a slit in the seam. She reached down, thrust her un- engaged hand into it and drew up 4a silver net purse, a handkerchief, anivory shopping list, a small package containing the pearl studs and a silver and glass vinaigrette. ‘*There,’’ said she with pride, you see, I don’t have to raise my skirt much higher than usual to get to my pocket. Andit’s such a convenience! I was always in mortal terror when I wore a Chatelaine bag lest some one should snatch it. And I was always losing things when [tried to carry them all inmy hands. Really, dear, you should have one in your silk petticoat.’’ Then she restored her possessions to her pocket and walked on, serene in the con- sciousness that she was more conveniently attired than any other women on the street, A PORTABLE BABY BASKET. It Can Be Packed in a Trunk and Gives No Trouble. For the baby of luxurya new baby basket has been designed. It is for use at the sea- side, and has the advantage of accommodat- ing itself to the narrow limits of a trunk. The basket proper is of white rubber, in the exact shape ofasmall boat. The bottom of the boat is flat, and the sides have a way of col- lapsing as if by magic when the packing time arrives. Inside the boat are pockets of shirred N ran yellow silk, asmall round pocket just suita- ble to hold the puff-box, longer pockets for the brush and comb, and round, soft balls of yellow silk and lace which hang with narrow ribbons from theside and are used for pin- cushions. Ihe baby bottle when it is not in use has a shirred covering of yellow silk slipped over it. There are also pockets for shield pins, rubber rings, rattles and the nu- merous incidentals necessary to a new baby’s comfort. The boat is supported by adjusta- ble legs of willow, which cease to act as sup- porters at the owner’s wisb. A deep frill of silk falling over the edge of the boat gives ita dressy effect and adds to the basket’s ornamental capacities in dec- orating the summer nursery.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, Julg 24, 1892. 4 " HOPEIN DELAY y ‘ories Planning to Avoid Imme- diate Expulsion From Power. _ un An Attempt ta Force Gladstone to Adopt a Fatal Policy. THE LIBERAL LEADER WILL NOT PLAY INTO HIS ENEMIES’ HANDS. Suspicious Attitude of the Parnellites in the New Alignment of Parties—Home Rule Will Be Pressed Forward by the Liberal Majority — T PF. O' connor Pleased With the Outlook for Ireland British Politics. Loxpo, July 23.—The interest in the polit- ical situation has shifted from thie plans of the Liberals to those of the Tories. The latter are now casting about for some means to enable them to delay their expul- sion from office. Some of the Tory leaders hold that if beaten on a vote of non-conf- dence when the House meets on August 4 they wil be under no obligation to resign, because Gladstone’s majority is a mixed one and does not represent any single policy or party. Another expedient suggested is that the Tories should have no Queen’s speech at the opening of the new Parliament, so that the Liberals should have no peg on which to hang an adverse amendment. The Tory argumentisthat the session be- ginning next month is a mere formality, in- tended not for business, but for swearing in the new Parliament, However, none ofthese devices are con- stitutional. If Salisbury produces no Queen's speech, Gladstone will meet the emergency by preparing a direct vote of censure. ® The Tories cannot escape being ejected, and this prospect is embittered ten-fold for them by the fact that the deciding voice rests with their inveterate enemies, the Irish members. There is a good deal of talk at present about the position home rule is to take in the Lib- eral programme. The Tories wantto force Gladstone to devote the energies of his Gov- ernment exclusively to home rule, knowing that it would be a fatal policy, as it would estrange his British supporters who expect something to be done for them as well as for Ireland. Gladstone's plan is to introduce his home rule bill when the House meets in February, andin the intervals between its different stages, press forward electoral reform, the payment of election expenses out of the taxes, and the extension of the system of county Government in England and Scot- land. The measures will be rejected by the House of Lords, in addition to the home rule Dill, which will bring home to the minds ofthe British masses that they must give the Lib- erals a big majority at the next election if they want genuine reforms. WHAT THE TORIES WANT TO DO. The Tories desire to defeat that policy by trying to make Gladstone attempt nothing ‘but home frule, and the Parnellites are evincing a disposition to aid the Tories in these tactics. The Parnellites are crying out already that Gladstone intends to abandon home rule, hoping thereby to injure the position of the anti-Parnellites in Ireland. The outcry Is in- sincere, as the Parnellites know well that if Giadstone went to the country again with nothing but home rule, while the Tories are promising the English people all manner of reforms for themselves, the Liberals would be swept out of existence. Gladstone fully intends to press forward home rule. He reiterated his pledges on that subject inthe only speech he has made since the elections, but he does not intend to play into the hands of his enemies and the enemies of home rule by wholly ignoring the claims of the English voters who returned him to power. The attitude of the Parnellites towards Gladstone’s Government will be one of suspicious observation, They will give him no support in passing English reforms, and if ne introduces ab one man one vote“ bill, they will resist it. The Tories will never consent to abolish the plural vote unless there is a redistricting of the electoral power, and in that redistriba- tion lreland’s representation would be re- Guced in proportion to her population. Ireland would never consent to that. The business of the Parnellites will be to spur on Giadstone to pass his home rule bill through with the utmost dispatch regardless of every- thing else. Liberal and Radical members, speaking of the objection taken by the Parnellites tothe proposed one man one vote’’ bill, say that they would never consent to any redistribu- tion of seats, which would reduce Irish rep- resentation. PLEASED WITH THE OUTLOOK. T. P. O'Connor, who was seen to-day, was in high spirits at the prospect of getting a Home Rule Government into power. A No man in England hastraveled more or made more speeches during the recent elec- tion than ‘‘Tay Pay.’’ In the course of three weeks he has addressed fifty meetings in dif- ferent parts of England and Scotland, some- times three a day, and he says he never felt better than after these exertions. He attributes the smalinessof Gladstone’ s majority to the liquor interest, which gave free drinks in all the boroughs on the polling Cays. Coming to questions of more imme- diate interest, he showed that he had firmly made up his mind as to the policy of the Irish party. There was no hesitation in his reply to questions as to what importance he attached to the talk among Tories about Gladstone’s intention of postponing Home Rule. None, he replied promptiy. It is the usual party clamor. It does not deceive any one who is not willing to be decelved. „But, ' interposed the Post- DISPATCH cor- respondent, ‘‘Labouchere and others are giy- ing color to the notion that Home Rule is to be deferred, and Labouchere ought to know. 1 don’t think Labouchere implied any- thing of the kind in what he wrote. Glad- stone has not the remotest idea of doing any- thing of the kind. That is certain.“ Although Mr. Gladstone has not invited the Parnellites to his cougcils, it is stated to-day on the best Parnellite authority that Mr. Redmond and his adherents will earnestly support home rule. They feel confident that with a home rule measure adopted and an Irish Parliament established, a large propor- tion of those who now adhere to the McOar- thyite wing would join the Parnellite cause. **Some minor politicians appear to think that because he has not a sweeping majority he cannot carry home rule. That is non- dense, because, whether he had a large ma- jority or a small one, the fate of the home- rule bill, when sent to the Lords, would be the same until there is another general election. Gladstone will itroduce his home rule bill at the opening of the next session in the Commons or in the Lords. He will introduce it the following session, and so on fora third session if necessary; but these sessions need not be devoted exclusively to home rule. English legislation can be proceeded with at the same time with Irish. . **The more radical legislation sent up to fhe Lords during Gladstone’s tenure of office, : - * Se 4 ee : * 9 ae tay 1 * Se ae ee and the more they reject of it, the better for the Liberals at the next general election. If they pass any of it, it will be equally good for the Radical chances, so that if the Radicals play their cards properly it is a case of heads, I win; talls, you lose. MUST VOTE WITH GLADSTONE. „How do you think that the Parnellites will act in all these matters?“ think they will have no option but to support us against the Tories. They must vote with Gladstone to throw outa coercion ministry, Nothing would excuse them even in the eyes of their own followers in Ireland if they failed to vote for such a motion. It would not be stood. . Now, merely for the sake of argument, let us suppose that Gladstone did attempt to postpone home rule. What would be the action of your party in such an eventuality?’’ As I said before, I utterl~ “epudiate such a suggestion; but, giving ac a.«swerto your hypothetical question, I may say that we would not stand such a proceeding for an hour. Just look at the position. Our men have made the utmost sacrifice to maintain the Liberal alliance, because we believed that it was the best way of getting home rule within a reasonable period. Many of our men at the outset of the struggle with Parnell risked their lives for the maintenance of that alliance, and if we were betrayed we would and could destroy the rebel majority, but let me repeat again, that I don't anticipate anything of the kind. Gladstone and the leaders of the party are perfectly sound, so are the rank and file, and the talk about the postponing of home rule is nothing more than Tory make-be- lieve.’’ Then, as to the homerule bill itself, do you think it will satisfy Irish opinion?’’ am convinced of it. Gladstone will give us a bill that will comply with every require- ment of Ireland, onethat even the Parnell- ites, however captiously inclined they may be, Cannot have the face to refuse.’’ ANTI-CLERICAL PARTY. The followers of the late Mr. Parnell are gradually becoming an Anti-Clerical party simllartothe Radicals or Anti-Clericals of France, Italy and other Roman Catholic countries, where Clericalism is or has been dominant. This drift of the current is recognized by the leaders, who believe that withan auton- omous Ireland and noissue, such as legisla- tive separation, to bind the majority of the Irish people as a matter of expediency to the English Liberals and the Anti-Clerical move- ment in Ireland would soon become domi- nant and those directing it would become the chiefs of the Irish Government. One of the Parnellite members said to-day that the whole drift throughout Christendom was against clerical predominance in political af- fairs and that the complete triumph of the Parnellite or Anti-Clerical party in Ireland was as certain as that the same party had been successful in France, in Italy and in the Sfanish-American republics. The Parnellites would support a home rule measure, he said, in full confidence that Ire- land, once free from the leading strings of British Liberalism, would declare withan emphatic voice for political independence of the hierarchy as well as of Great Britian. | There will therefore be no factious opposi- tion on the part of the Parnellites toa reasonable home rule bill. Aleading Tory saysthat Lord Salisbury is already making arrangements for an autumn vacation. He will surrender the Premiership withouta murmur, and then leave the fleld to Mr. Gladstone and the Con- servative opposition to the House of Commons.

If Mr. Gladstone should then propose to her Majesty to overcome oppOw- tion in the House of Lords by the creation of new peers, her Majesty, so she has assured Lord Salisbury, willrefuse to takeany such action, and will advise Mr. Gladstone to ap- peal once more tothe country. then to be heid would of course decide finally the fate of home rule. Such is the Conserva- tive plan, to be followed to the letter, should a home rule bill pass the House. AS SEEN IN RUSSIA, A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the Czar is deeply gratified with the result of the English elections, anditis believed that he will soon show his satisfaction by sending an army into Bulgaria. ‘lhe Czar affectsto believe that Mr. Gladstone is his friend, al- though their friendship recelved a serious shock when Mr. Gladstone made such vigor- ous preparations for the defense of Afghan- istan, and compelled Russia reluctantly to remove her grasp from Herat. The Russians, will be at least lukewarm in regard toany Russian aggravation in the Balkans, however much interested he may be inthe defense of India. Englishmen who are well informed as to the situation on the Continent donot hesitate to declare that a European war will follow the accession of Mr. Gladstone to the premiership. There is a growing feeling to this effect, both in Berlin and Vienna, if dispatches from these points are to be credited, and it is said thatthe Austrian Kaiser was deeply and seriously affected when he heard of the Liberal victory, Cheap Excursions.

Five streams.of water were played on the hotruins of the Waters-Pierce oil works all day yesterday. Engines Nos. 15 and 16 were kept busy under a full head of steam on the outside walis. The works have been partially closed in by nailing boards on such portions of the wall as were left standing. Both the Twelfth and Fourteenth street bridges were crowded all day with a tnrong of curious people, who braved the scorching rays of the sun to get a glimpse at the smouldering ruins, A sign on the Gratiot street side, announc- ing ‘‘Positively no smoking allowed in here, wasa constant source of comment to the crowd. The new works will be begun as soon as the debris of the fire cools off sufficiently to allow men to begin bricklaying. Ihe present foundations are said to be very solid, sothat onlya superstructure will have to be buil upon them. Capt.

PENZANCE, Cornwall, July 16.—Before leav- ing the ancient Cornish seaport of St. Ives my friendsbip with the fisherfolk of the town led to the gaining of much interesting infor- mation regarding the famous plicher fishery of the bay. Brief reference was made in my preceding article to the coming of the shoals, the char- acter ofthe fish, which is very similar to the diminutive Eastport (Me.) herrings packed as sardines and given French labels in that enterprising Yankee port, and the genuine sardine of Biscayan waters, while mention was made of the curious operations of the ‘thuers’’ or watchers and the universal ex- citement in St. Ives when a shoal is sighted. Seines from 1,000 to 2,000 feet long are used for impounding the shoals. They are carried in a large boat called the seine-boat, worked by from eight to ten men with oars. No sails are used. The seine-boat is attended by two smaller boats called ‘‘towboats,’’ which carry smaller nets called thwart or stop nets, while these towboats are followed by still an- other tender, rowed by strong lads, and used for carrying men between the larger boats or to and from the shore, as circumstances may require. When the watchers upon the heights signal the order to shoot, both the seine-boat and the thwartboat start from the same point. From the former the seine is cast around the fish on the outside, forminga large segment ofacircle. From the thwartboat this stop net is thrown, forming a sort of continuation of the circle, but the followers remains at the point of departure to prevent the fish from passing through the opening between the two nets, As soon as the seine is shot the work of the ‘*blowsers’’ begins, Twenty to forty of these take the warp or line at its shore end, attach it to a huge capstan and begin draw- ing it inshore. At the same time another line called the towrope is carried from the opposite extremity and with this the men in the seineboat wrap the net inward. The nets, with the fish inclosed or penned in, are now brought near enough to land to be out of tide’s way and are safely moored. Gathering in or taking up the fish is called ‘*tucking.’’ When the tide is low the seine- boat is utilized within the moored seine, and has on board what is called a ‘‘tucknet.’’ With this the fish are scooped from the wriggling shoal and brought out so near the surface that they may be dipped out of the seaina basket. Boatload after boatload is thus taken, until enough are secured to be handled in the curing process between one low tide and another, and when the shoals are large a week of night and day work is Lords and for that struggle he proposes to re- in the committee and resolute rejection by The election | however, are convinced that Mr. Gladstone | often required, | **Tucking’’ at nightis always an interest - ing and often a brilifant scene in St. Ives’ Bay; the boats hastening to and fro, the oars sparkling with phosphorescence at every | Sturdy stroke; the subdued yet eager activity of the fishermen as they plunge their baskets intothe waterto raise at each dipa stream of quivering silver; the bustle and excite- ment along the plerand the busy streets where the labor never ceases so long as the shoal holds out; and then old St. Ives hang- ing like ragged mistletoe trom the heights above, with the the terrace lights ikea flash- |} ing tiara, are all worth storing away among | the pleasant pictures of the memory. | From the boats the pilchards are taken to the cellars and storehouses in ‘‘gurries.’’ | These are square vessels like oven boxes, with handies at each end. The fish are salted in bulk, that is, they are built into huge piles in alternate layers of flsh and salt. All this work is done by women and girls, who are quite as powerful in all necessary hand- Ung and carrying as the men. and far more | dexterous, The fish are allowed to remain in bulk for | thirty or forty days. During this time a vast | amount of ‘‘pickle’’ and oil drains away, find - ing its way into receptacles from which the oll is skimmed, Then the fish are washed | perfectly clean in huge troughs, when they are put with great nicety and in regular lay- ers into casks, iocally called ‘‘hogheads,’’ of fifty-two gallonseach. They are then sub- | Jected to strong pressure for a week, causing | another large flow of oll, after which they are headed up aud are ready for exportation to | Mediterranean ports. | These St. Ives curers are the wives, daugh- | ters and sweethearts of St. Ives fishermen, brawny of arm, stout of frame, among the cleanest of women at home, not given tothe unrepeatable billingsgate of the Thames-side fishwives; and they get more pleasure out of their neighborly ‘‘teas’’ and their Wesleyan prayer meetings thanis secured outof any manner of diverson by any other lowly women I know. but despite the prayer meetings they enjoy their rough larks and play, which are usually the source of discom- fiture to some man of their own kind who has been caught at some unforgivable pecadillo, or *foopstart’’ stranger whom they dearly love to ‘‘hustie’’ for awhile and then treat to a bath in the harbor or within some convenient vat of ‘‘pickle’’ and oll. Indeed, throughout all Cornwall all women who work at man’s labor in gangs to- gether, like these St. Ives fisherwives and the bal giris’’ or mining pit brow lasses, seem to have a penchant for treating any man who has secured their dislike in 80 rough a way that it often merges upon bru- tality. Among their immemorial eustoms none is more rigidly adhered to more likely to make trouble to a supercilious stranger than the ‘one among the St. Ives fishwives of ‘‘wiping the shoe. If you by chance step into one of these huge fish-curing cellars, where from 50 to 100 St. Ives fish-women are at work, their shrill clack and clatter of voices ure instantly hushed. Some supstantially-built, middle-aged woman advances to you and without a word gives the toe of one of your shoes a quick wipe with a bit of old rag filled with oll. Tnat is all there is to ‘‘wiping the shoe, if you immediately respond witha half crown, or even a shilling. This is counted as „paying your reckoning’’ for satisfying your curiosity, and the proceeds go into a common fund. If you fail to at once furnish the gra- tuity, you are suddenly surrounded and roughly ‘‘hustled,’’ in the meantime coming in contact with rough Knuckles and hard elbows, which these fishwives know how to savagely handle, and you are certain to at last land in the bay or the more disagreeable „ pickle'“ and oil vat. It is not more than eight miles across from St. Ives’ Bay on the north to Mount’s Bay on the south of the Cornish peninsula. On the latter stands Penzance, and setting forth in that direction I found that just beyond St. Earth the highways diverged. Being in doubt as to the right one I approached a group of miners’ cottages for inquiry and se- cured another illustration, among hundreds that have come to my notice in Cornwall, of the ineradicable suspicion which possesses the Cornish intellect regarding all things which seem to savor of inconsistency as well as unhesitating hospitality and generosity, and when the object of the same seems to the Cornishman to be wholly an unworthy one, I spoke toa brawny miner just as he was leaving his cottage to take up his work in the mine with the afternoon corps, which goes below grass“ at 20’clock, telling him that as I had waiked the length of Cornwall from Plymouth, I wished to reach Penzance the same way, and not by rail from st. Ives. Awad rat tha! Tha cussn’t (cannot) stuff me!’’ he replied, with genuine scorn in his honest face. Isaw he had mistaken me for a tramp, and I turned away with a cheery Good day. He bellowed to me instantly: *‘If tha’ll waita bit, my son, aw’ll see if Ginny (his wife) can spare tha a mossel.’’ There was not a ‘‘mossel’’ to eat left in „Cousin Jack’s’’ house, as his ‘‘erib’® or lunch bag held the last “‘faggan’’ or Sohle . defeated. He soon reappeared and pr u pon me a miner's candle, putting it in my pocket with his own rough hands, and send- ing me along the right road to Penzance with many bellowed parting words of cheer. This candle was a mystery to me at the time, but I soon discovered its significance and value, Through some ancient custom or mining regulation a corps“ of miners is compelled each month to buy a certain number of pounds of candles. These are the best quality of candles known in Cornwall, and all other lowly folks like to get them. So the overplus is carefully saved, divided among the mine ‘‘pairdners’’ and taken home to the miners’ wives, who exchange them for trifling luxuries and.necessities at the shops. Miners’ candles are therefore currency of the realm, a can’ls worth of tay,’’ cheese, eggs, sugar, etc., having been from time immemorial equivalent to a ‘*ha’penny’orth’’ of these or other articles in exchange. The traveler will learn that the pleasure in visiting Penzance is to be found in the ex- traordinary objects of interest and the glori- ous coast scenery accessible from the town, rather than in the place itself. It is barren of antiquities and historic charm. There were once some smugglers here. Sir Hum- phrey Davy was a native of the piace. A comic opera has been written about it. That is nearly all, besides numberless inns and lodging houses, which you can find to interest you here. , It is, however, the metropolis of the Land’s End district of Cornwall and is always run- ning over with tourists for whom the famous logan or rocking-stone, the sublime head- lands, the hoary parish churches round. about, the grand old ecclesiastic antique, St. Michael’s Mount (which must not be con- founded with Mont St, Michael on the coast of Normany), and Land’s End itself, the southwesternmost point in England, have an endless fascination. One feature of Penzance itself is indicative of the genuine enjoyment of English people in summer in their trips by coach or in humbler traps or vans. In the one long, narrow street of the city you can on any summer day count from 100 to 200 of these vehicles, whose occupants, as there is no railway or town of any importance be- yond Penzance, are tarrying here for re- freshments and rest. But Mount’s Bay itself,at the edge of which rests Penzance, on almost level ground be- hind her huge breakwater and from which St. Micheal’s Mount rises to a very great height with sheer escarpments of granite on three sides and the dim old crag, crowned by mass upon mass of medieval towers, is one of the most charming marine bits for obser- vation and study in Europe. The bay is horseshoe shaped, its mouth opening directly tothe South upon the Eng- lish Channel, which is at all times covered with sailing craft and gteamers. On the right or western side is Penzance, backed by far reaching hills, and straggling off to the southwest toward the headlands of Mouse- hole and St. Clements. On the north of the bay, asleep in the summer sun, is Marazion, a market for Cornish tin controlled by Jews from 1,500 to 2,000 years ago. Around this old place cluster some of the most curious leg- ends of Cornwall’s rem ote past. The western boundary ofthe bay is formed by one of the strangest roadways in the world. From the main land near Marazion windsa submarine thoroughfare, certainly submarine at high tide, to the far grim mount within the sea. At low tide it is high and dry, and a splendid means of commun cation between the island and the land. No one has ever been able to solve the mystery of this singular road, and whether a natural phenomenon or made by the handof man vou can only conjecture as you wend your way upon it with the gray old height looming vaster and more mysterious as you ap- proach, Poets have made it their theme; artists have been delighted with the picturesque grandeur and beauty of its overhanging rocks, and Kings have fought furiously for its possession and mastery. The legend is that St. Michael, the arch-angel, appeared here in 495, and in conseqtience of this it was vis- ited by St. Kenna, who founded a reiigtous establishment to commemorate the event. It is Known, however, that a priory of Bene- dictine monks was placed here by Edward the Confessor, and the mount was exclu- sively devoted to religion until the time of Richard I. Since that time it has been the scenes of countiess defenses and captures, captivities and immurement, valor and treachery. In 1660 it came into the posses- sion of the St. Aubyns of Cornwall, who have continued to beautify this one of the most extraordinary spots in the world, At the northern base are extensive fortifi- cations and a village. At the topof the mount there is a more striking collection of bdulldings, formed for the purpose of religious uses, and the stoutest defense in medieval times to bs found elsewhere in Great Britain. The guardroom, with its ancient armor, is alone wortby ofa month's study. Warwick Castle cannot boast grander parts. The chapel, which is fitted up with stalls in the manner of a cathedral, and chapel tower deserve torank among the most venerable and stately curiosities in Europe. The Chevy Chase room, which the old refectory is now called, from the maze of hunting scenes upon its frieze, is a marvelous study in ancient oak carving. The present owner of this surpassing me- dievai relic is Sir John St. Aubyn of Cornwall, and the royal family are his guests here nearly every year. EDGAR L. WAKEMAN, HE WAS PAID 825. Nicholas L.

UNION MEN NOT. ENTIRELY RESPONSI- BLE FOR THE BLOODSHED. The Statement of a Prospector Who Was an Eye-Witness of th® Fourth of July Canyon Massacre—Needless and Wan- ton Taking of Life—The Troops to Be Withdrawn. WALLACE, Idaho, July 23.—The ashes sup- posed to be of human bodies burned by the union miners on Fourth of July Canyon, have not yet been subjected to chemical analysis, buta reportis expected soon from Lieut. Smith, who hasthe matterin charge, The investigation into the terrible tragedy is now progressing rapidly, and the SuxDpAT PosT- DISPATCH Correspondent has secured numer- ous fresh facts that throw light on the awful affair. It is known beyond a doubt that on Tuesday evening last after a car-load of non- union men had passed through Wardner and had goneto Mission nine men, supposed to be members of the Miners’ Union, left this city on a hand-car to follow them; that at Wardner they changed the hand-car fora flat-car and taking more men with them pro- ceeded to Mission. What took place at Mission the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH correspondent to-day learned from an eye-witness of the tragedy. This in- formant’s name is Malloy. He is a prospector and is in sympathy with the strikers. I was at Missionthe night of the shoot- ing,’’saidhe. ‘‘I was standing in front of the only store inthe village when the shoot- ing began. I knew there was going to be trouble all the evening. The non-union men were drinking in a gang. One of them, an Italian, was loudly denouncing the union men, but no one seemed to pay much atten- tion to him. There was another man in the band who appeared to be an American and a man of good sense. He appeared to be the leader of the band and was trying to keep the men sober and OUT OF TROUBLE. The non-union.men stayed about all the afternoon, arguingand drinking. No trou- ble occurred until about dusk, when two men came down the tracks, They were both union miners. They ordered the non-union men to leave town without delay. A few minutes later three other men came up to the band of non-union miners and repeated the order. They were armed with Winchester rifles. The union miners carrying rifies be- gan firing into the crowd, andthe non-union men scattered, running in all directions. Then another party of union men appeared with more rifles. I saw some of the fleeing men drop when the first volley was fired; I think at least a dozen were hit. Isaw one man fall just outside D. D. Butler’s fence, andanother dropped a few feet away almost at the same instant. After the strikers started in pursuit of the fleeing non-union men I told the men who were 1ook- ing for the dead and wounded to look where I saw one man fall. They found the young man, Abbott, who was shot through the body. There were noold men in the party that dia the shooting. They were all young men of from 22 to 30 years ofage. I did not Know any of them, though I am pretty sure that some of them were not miners, They did not have the ap- pearance of men who worked in mines. They seemed nervous,and one young fellow in particular that I noticed was very much ex- cited. He came running up to where I was standing and was armed with a Winchester. He saw a man down the track about one hun- dred yards running. HE GPENED FIRE and the man he had shot at gave a spring into the alr and fell back as if mortally wounded. The young man with the Win- chester fired two more shots at the prostrate man. ISald to him as he shot the second time: For God's sake, don’t shoot the poor devil when he is on the ground; he’s dead now anyway.’ ‘*But the fellow was as pale as a corpse and didn’t seem to be aware of what he was do- ing. He fired another shot atthe body on the track. Just then an old man stepped up and said: ‘‘There’s no use in shooting at him again, he’s done for, and even if he wasn’t the fel- lows down below will attend to him. The man who fellonthe tracks may have been killed, or he may not, but I certainly think he was injured. 1 did not go down the tracks tosee because | wasa stranger there and didn’t want to mix up in the fight. 1 thought if I stood still I might be safe, and if I started to run someone would certainly take me fora non-union man and shoot me. I don’t know what became of the fellow that I Saw fall on the track; there was no sign of him when 1 looked after the battle. saw the whole bus - iness from its beginning to its end, but of course there is always so much excitement like that that it is easy to make mistakes. Who did the shooting? Could you identify any of them?’’ asked the reporter, A CAUTIOUS ATTITUDE. „Well, Iam not sure that 1 could; perhaps I might, but I am not sure. I’m neither a miners’ man, nor a non-union man, though being an old miner I sym- pathize with the miners, but I don’t want to get mixed up in this fight. From what I saw I think it was a bad bit of busi- ness, and something that could have been avoided entirely, That it was all done by members of the Miners’ Union I do not de- lieve. There were many in that crewd who had never worked in the mines in their lives. They had smooth white hands and were well dressed and sleek looking. 1 left Missionthat night and came out here in the hills. Early the next morning 1 heard the bushes crackle on the hills above me and I saw seven men come down over the brow ofthe hill, They were all worn out and frightened. many of them were covered with mud, and they had been scratched by the timber, and their clothes weretorn. They did not stop to talk to me, but put right up the can- von. I believe they were met and Killed by the union men who carried the Winches. ters.’ THE TKOOPS WITHDRAWN. WASHINGTON, D.

Success. The People’s Physicians and Their Work ) —They Succeed Because They Have the Right Pian. There is probably no institution in the City of St. Louis so well known and so firmly established as the Copeland Medical Institute. This is a popular medical institution where people can obtain treatment for diseases from which they suffer, and especially for diseases of the pose, throat and lungs, ata nominal tee per month, with the medicines furnished free. Itis no wonder that, under such conditions, Drs. Copeland and Thompson, the presiding physicians of the institute, should have an immense practice. There are so many features in the method they have employed that commend their system strongly to the attention of every one thatit can not be otherwise than a grand success. Drs. Copeland and Thompson take a personal interest in every case thatis intrusted to their care. They are equipped for their work by special train- ing, superior education, first-class equipment, a splendid laboratory and a longand varied experi- ence. Examining as they do thousands of cases every year, they are familiar with every phase of their specialties and with all forms of diseases. A big bill at the druggist’s is one of the necessary adjuncts to treatment under the average physician. With Drs. Copeland and Thompson there is nothing of this sort to contend with, and their terms include, besides treatment, all medicines, applications and aids they have occasion to prescribe. These facts are commented on daily by the numer- ous patients at their offices, and are vitally interest- ing to all those who are contemplating medical treatment. This system hasbeen devised to meet popular wants, and especially to overcome the prejudice that exists on the rare of most people as well as the fear and distrust felt by the average sufferer toward a high-priced doctor and thetrain of expensive fees connected with treatment under him All of which is respectfully submitted that those who are interested may profit. MUS? BE GONVINGED When Two Such Testimonials as the Following Are Perused. Pretty Mamie Rinie’s Case—Her Friends Thought Her Consumptive—A Com- plete Cure. Every week from two to five or six testimonials are pulished by Drs. Copeland and Thompson. These are given by patients who are impelled by motives of humanity to state their experience and to proclaim their cure so that afflicted ones may profit by their example. g This record of cures is unparalleled in the history of St. Louis, and it constitutes the chief and almost sole argument of Drs. Copeland and Thompson in support of their claims as superior medical practi- tioners. Pretty and attractive Miss Mamie Rinie, who lives at 2727 Allen av., makes the following statement: ; i 1 ea Miss Mamie Rinie, 2727 Allen Av.

So many of my symptoms resembled those of con- sumption, and I lost flesh to such a degree, that I feared I would die from that disease. tried a great many physicians without obtaining relief. By good fortune I was persuaded to go to Drs. Copeland and Thompson. After a short time under their treatment I began to feel better, and to- day lam the happiest girlin town, for I am as well as Jover was. I HAVE RECOVERED COMPLETELY FROM ALL MY TROUBLE.

dingy-looking quarter. be rty. St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, Iuly 24, 1892, ~ OLD ST. LOUIS. denen SUILDINGS And ann rn Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Bits of Old St. Louts’’ would have been a very prolific subject five years ago, when everything was old in this city, but to-day it is quite different, as the homes which looked old then have either assumed new phases, or they have nearly all of them been wiped out of existence within the last half of a decade. The sites they occupied only a short time since are adorned by grand and costly com- mercial buildings. Indeed columns could easily be written about the rookeries and the fabulous rents they produced on inside lots and at commanding corners where now stand the best buildings in the city, every one of them bullt within the past five years. Many otherold landmarks have been torn away during the past year, and the places where they stood are now the scene under the cornice of a modern, six-story 2 at 1 — 8 corner of Locust — , there isa > two- brick lately burnished with a roan Be Pear paint. It was built more than filty years ago by D. L. Patterson when J. R. Shepley occupied a residence at the corner of Locust and Seventh streets. Next to that on Locust, in those days, was st. George's Church, then came Dr. Oliphant's residence, all of them opposite Henry Shaw’s old homestead, that has been taken down stone by stone, carted away and rebuilt in the Botanical 6 in accordance with provisions of Mr, Shaw’s will. No. 413 North Seventh street never did produce a heavy rental, and the florid repu- tation of the premises would not be an in- ducement for moral people to occupy it. An old resident says he remembers this Mttle house when he was a lad, wading, with his pants rolled up, through a pond of water that used to extend along Seventh street across Washington avenue. Considering its his- tory, there will probably be no regrets when the little 222x150 foot dive is torn away, as it will be soon, for the property has been leased for ninety-nine years at 6 per cent per annum ona valuation of $25,000,to a party whois now making preparations to improve the site with an elght-story commercial bullding, — — * The Mascot, Fourth and Lucas Avenue. of active building operations for the con- struction of eight to fourteen-story palatial business blocks, the erection of which will cost all the way from $300,000 to $1,000,000 each. The city is improving at a very rapid pace. The demand for more business apart- ments is constantly increasing. Large com- mercial buildings have proven most profita- able investments in St. Louis, and with the growing demand for other improvements of this character, the rookeries are fast dis- appearing. Space in the business center has become so valuable it is now no uncommon thing to see apparently substantial structures of two to four stories in height torn down to make room for new and more imposing improve- ments. Five years ago work of this nature in St. Louis was viewed very reproachfully and with a feeling that such destruction bor- dered close on vandalism, Expres- sions of this kind were frequently heard when the Jaccard Bufiding. a very fine stone - front, of quite pretentious architecture, too, was torn down to make a place forthe National Bank of Commerce building, eight stories in height, at the north- east corner of Br oadway and Olive street. A four-story structure at the northwest corner of Seventhand Oliveis being cleared away for a fourteen-story building, but no regrets are heard about that. for now it is plain that aspirit of progress has taken possession of St. Louis people, who no longer look with re- gret on these old vanishing land-marks. Oc- casionally, as they disappear, some sentimentality is indulged in by a few silvery-haired veterans whose youth- ful days were associated with these mile- stones that marked the progress of a great city, but the inevitable is readily if not cheerfully accepted by the majority of the patriarchs, who no doubt feel melancholy at times,just as Col. David Armstrong did when his home for so many years, the old Pianters’ House, was doomed to destruction. The foundations are now about all that is left of the old hostelry, but the site bids fair to be more renowned in the future than in the past, for it is to be the location of a new $1,000,000 Planters’ House, Where the Rialto Building, of such grand proportions and design, is now being reared, at Fourth and Olive streets, there was an old land-mark which has entirely disappeared since last January, and one of the most unsightly rookeries was on the site of the Security building, now nearing comple- tion, at the southwest corner of Fourth and Locust streets; another one that used to be nearly as bad isnow being substituted by a large building at the southwest corner of Third and Locust streets. The Wainwright building, nearing completion, has supplanted aquarter of a block of tumble-down tene- ments at the corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets. Just north of this elegant structure The only frame structure left in the Dbusi- ness section is on Market street at the north- west corner of the alley between Sixth and Seventh streets. It is a two-story building sway-backed by the snow of more than fifty winters and warped by as many summer suns. Old as it is, this house harmonizes very well withits present surroundings, for the block it fronts on is, taken as a whole, the most wretched looking square in all the city. It occupies ground which has enhanced in value from comparatively nothing to up- generally rejuvenated to conform with the requirements of a street selected for an en- trance way tothe city. Up to the present time less changes have been made in the style of Market street shops than in the ap- pearance of buildings on any other of the business streets for more than thirty years past. The most pretentious specimen of old time architecture in the business center is to be seen at the northwest corner of Pine and Seventh streets, where Oliver Hart put up a bufiding three stories high that was the talk of the town halfacentury ago. The front of it is recessed, and from the second story up there are fluted columns, with decorated caps which, even at thisday, command the attention of passers-by. In the days of its pristine freshness Dr. J. J. Clark made the place his home and later it became the resi- dence of Nathaniel Paschal. On the same side of the block, nearer the alley on Pine street, there is another house precisely the same style.This was occupied inthe early days by Prof. De France, an eminent artist of his time, who owned the place. These houses are land- marks indeed. Their architectural outlines more than entitlethem to this distinction, but that will not save them long from wreck and utter ruin, as better buildings are wanted on Pine street, and they will be sup- plied before a great while. On Broadway between Market street and Franklin avenue there is only one house that may be properly: classed among the old bits of St. Louls, and that stands at the southeast corner of Lucas avenue, diagonally opposite the Union Market. Back to the days in which that house was bullt the memory of man runneth not. The agent, one of the oldest house-renters in the city, says he has collected rents from it since 1860, and at that early date, thirty-two years ago, it was con- sidered one of the oldest houses in St: Louis. Ever since he knew the place it has been a saloon, und as one of its barkeepers remarked yesterday, It has been a mascot for every man who started here. A dozen or more saloon- keepers have retired from the place with fortunes, It has been renting for $176 a month for fifteen years past and could be forced toa higher figure. The place is only about 30x60 feet, and its two-story walls have been in a crumbling condition for many years, and they are likely to stand there till they fall, as the owner, Mrs. G. M. Speir of New York, is thoroughly satisfied that she could not erect another building on the site that would pay as well. On the northeast corner of Sixth and Chest- nut there is an old rookery that will rank for age with any that have been mentioned, but it is already doomed, and will soon be numbered with things of the past. Thisis a valuable corner, grown so within the past few years. It has been leased for a long term of years and the site will be improved before long withan elegant building of the cloud piercing order. Good Luck to Bro. Cook. LEXINGTON, Mo., July 23.—Mr. George A. A. and Bessie Cook, for the past year anda half on the staff of the Jnielligencer, have arranged payee uwe W Seventh Street, Between Pine and Chestnut Street. wards of $1,200 a foot since the new Union Depot site on Market, between Elghteenth and Twentieth streets, was determined upon.

a St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunda „ July 24, 1892 ME JULY S0ERTE A COLLAPSE LOOKED FOR BY THE TRADE, 80 LARGE ARE THE RECEIPTS. The Northwestern Crop Influencing Wheat—Corn and Oats Show Little Change—Reviews of Flour, Cotton and Hay—Chat From change. The July deal is a gone goose, was the general belief in the local wheat pit at the close of yesterday’s business, Receipts have been increasing so rapidly and steadily of late and the prospects so absolutely certain they would continue to increase, that the trade could see nothing else before them, save a deal smothered by the enormous amount of wheat to be poured upon it the coming week. Great is the jubilation of the shorts, except those who got out from 79c to SO ge (July sola Thursday at Sou), and yes- terday there were fresh sales for short ac- count, so confident were some traders of a complete collapse of the deal. There was even some cash wheat sold short for Monday’s delivery. There has been a good deal of soreness over this al- leged July squeeze, as it was the common belief the United Elevator Co. was engineer- ing the deal, and the trade claim that com- pany has no right to work the market. Whether it is the United Elevator Co. or some other combination, whoever managed this deal deserves commendation instead of censure. Were it not for their action in bid- ding the price up here as they did and work- ing St. Louis so far above competitive points, this market would not have received, nor have coming to it, anywhere near the amount of wheat it has. Wheat has been drawn here from every direction, and from sections that usually do not send shipments to St. Louis at this season ofthe year. Aninstance of how attractive the price has been in this market is illustrated by the fact that one commission house yesterday received bills of lading from seven States andtwo territories—Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska and the Oklahoma and Indian Territories. There is nothing in this for any- one to kick against, if he has the interest of St. Louis as a grain market at heart. The great depression in yesterday’s cash market has also inspired the July shorts witha fresh supply of nerve. An absence of any demand that could anywhere near cope with the offerings knocked 2c off the Gay before prices, everything, whether grade or sample, suffering almost demora- lization. The city miller, as he usually does when supplies appear to be excessive, did the stand-off actor bought sparingly at his own figures and the contract grade was left almgst entirely tothe mercy of shorts, who bought to apply on contracts. No. 2 red sold for 78860 down to fue and at close was offered at 775sc, as was the July option, also. No. 8 red sold at 7olze this and 710 East side, rejected at 58c and the best bid for No. 4 was 630. These figures were 2@38c below those of the preceding Saturday, except July, which was ic lower. The week’s receipts were 843,849 bu, which though 495,000 larger than week before were 248,000 smaller than corre- sponding week last year. Yesterday morn- ing’s stock in store was 824,000 bu (of this 489,000 bu was No. 2 red), an increase so far for the week of 264,000 bu. There is still an- other week to finish up July and the shorts expect tosee more than enough wheat ar- rive during this timeto fill up every crevice in the shape of outstanding contracts, This may be, but some inside information gleaned in regard to this July deal would indi- cate that perhaps all the shortage cannot be filled between now and the close of July, and also that the combination running ' gurance added, the deal will come out much better than is anticipated. In the first place, the present outstanding shortage Is said to be far beyond what outside estimates have been, as the combination bas settied littie if any of their long wheat. If 250,000, or even 300,000, bush- els No. 2 red came in daily this week, it is claimed, the 1 AI would not be enough to go around. hen it is stated that tor ev ery bushel of July bought there is a bushel of August sold, the difference not exceed- ing e. he present difference’ is ase. This %c., with interest and in- woud about be 1e. , equal to the first ten days’ storage. So, with all outstanding contracts settied by actual deliveries, the combination would only be out the first storage on the wheat and have on hand a fine large stock instore with which to open the season. This is very pretty work that no one should find fault with. It gives the commission merchants a chance to handle an enormous amount, it attracts to St. Louis and away from competing markets and it gives St. Lovisa large stock early in the season, and a large stock on band always means increased speculation. * * = The St. Louis crowd are chock full of bear- ish ideas On wheat. Nearly every mother’s son of them is short more or less, and, though the aggregate shortage is not near so large as it has been when speculation was bolder and greater, yet that the market is oversold many times over is undoubted. That the second largest crop ever raised in this country has started to market and coming in at a lively rate and that no such demand as existed last year can be looked for, inclines ‘nearly everybody tothe selling side. There are very few who do not look for oe this week for Aug. The occasional bull left brows- ing around the pit can giean no comfort from the European conditions and situation. Latest advices do not indicate average crops abroad and England, France and Russsia will be short, but so much more will be raised this yearthan last, the supplies on hand are so unusually heavy for the season of the year and the foreigner received such a knockout and lost so much money in his 91 urchases, that the prospects for any large emand fram abroad seem problematical just now. But Europe has not gathered her crop as yetand will not haveit secured for some time to come. The cholera scare may close up certain ports—the Baltic and Black Sea, for imstance, and India has already stat off on her large shipments, all of which may turn the foreign buyerto America -for supplies again. But this is all a mere possibility. What really threatens the short seller is the condition of the spring wheat crop. Recent reports from the Northwest have grown rather serious. Complaints of two much rain have been fol- lowed by complaints of too much hot weather and high, hot winds, but the advices from that section have been so contradictory that no one knows just what to believe. The con- trolling speculative powers of the Northwest ‘isaclose corporation that when it starts August. any time, but in on one side or the other of the m arket, so effectually controls the news that they usually can run things pretty much as they please, and this crowd is supposed to be long a good line tn Chicago just now. But as reliable a publication as the Minneapolis Market Record in its issue of Thursday givesa rather glowing view of the crop prospects in the Northwest. The spring wheat crop is a very late one this year, and that fact should not be lost sight of. This news from the Northwest helped to put prices up last weex, on Thursday Aug. selling at 786 %. Sept at 77c and Dec. at 80%@l%4c, but since then the market has swung back and at close of yes- terday was about uc below the preceding Saturday. Latest sellers were at 78%c for Aug., 74%c for Sept. and 77% @78c for Dec. a * 7 If the weather conditions continue for another week as they have been for some time past, the next Government report on corn will be far above the 61. 1 0f July 1. The weather has been simply grand, that is to bring forward the growing crop, and the im- 1332 in its prospects has been wonder - I, if nearly all reports that come in are to be believed. The fields, too, are said to be in good shape, clean and abundantly cultivated, and all that is needed now is a favorable On next month the future of the 92 corn crop will greatly depend, though an eariy fall and frosts are to be dreaded, But while the growing crop is coming so well, the old corn back in the coun not coming — * alacrity.

There was hardly speculation enough in the other months to keep them alive and adragging, uninteresting market wasseen. There was some improvement in price, mainly through sympathy with wheat. whenit advanced, but at close of yesterday Aug. was Offered at 45c, and for Sept. 44% @'ec bid. s 5 The latest returns from the cat crop are not reassuring by any means. More and more it looks as te the Government had estimated the condition and acreage ofthe crops too high. Present reports bear out the earlier ones, when not overa half crop was looked for. Missouri and Illinois are said to be in particularly bad shape, and from Iowa and Nebraska comes reports that indicate a considerably reduced production. Harvest- ing is away behind last year, as the crop is several weeks later, but asthe section that draws upon St. Louis for supples is now handling her own crop or that from con- tiguous States, there has not been much of a demand here, local wants running rather light, too. Receipts were larger—168,805 bu were 102,700 bu in excess of week before—and the stock increased to 93,300 bu. A demand for No.2 from July shorts advanced that grade to gie, at which July also sold, but the month was offered late yesterday at 30%c, and there were sellers then of Aug. and Sept, at 28%c. a + - The flour market has shown a decided ten- dency for improving and a big and satisfac- tory business was reported during the week, mostiy for foreign account. The trade abroad has come to the conclusion that flour is cheap at present prices, and as their sup- pliesare pretty well reduced they showed more inclination to buy, and named prices which met with acceptance on this side. All milis doing an export business report good bookings, and in consequence of this increase in freight room ocean rates are advancing. A curious feature of the market was that while wheat was firm and advancing early in the week flour was ruling weak, and, in fact, kept declining, while there was a decidea reduction in values yesterday in sympathy with the 2c decline in wheat. Patents are now quoted at $4.05@4.15, extra fancy at $3.70@3.75, fancy at $3.20@3.80, choice at 82. 35 U 2. 50 and family at 82. 10 2.25. The domestic trade has not shown any material improvement and the demand was only fair and mainly for good grades ofold flour. The extremely low prices at which low grades could be purchased have created a speculative de- mand for such and some of this stock has been wanted for the Newfound- land trade. Three car loads of flour were donated by dealers of this city to the sufferers by fire at St. Johns, and were forwarded at once. Reeeipts during the week amounted to 26,249 bs, as compared to 22,685 the week ‘before, akd the shipments were 37,223 bbls, against 33,756. The output shows a further increase, as all the mills but one are now running, and was as follows: Carondelet Milling Co.. .... Goddard Flour Miil Co K. O. Stanard Milling Co. .. H. B. Eggers > 1 Hezel Milling Co G. P. Plant Mill Co 122 Milling Co 1 g Co Sparks Mill Co Victoria Mill Co „ 50.650 19.000 on The situation as regards cotton shows little or no change of any kind, and the specula- tive markets, both domestic and foreign, have not shown much life. The anti-option bill continues to be the all-absorbing topic in cotton circles,and thereis nodenying the fact that its effects have been most injurious to the trade in general. The loss already sustained to values on account of this menace to the commercial interests of this country has been considerable, and the end has not yet been reached. The influences, outside of the anti-option bill and the big surplus, have been rather bullish, but it was a difficult matter to advance prices, and almost an impossibility to keep them up. The manufacturing interests in England are by no means in a flourishing condition, and there were reports thatthe master spinners in Manchester would insist upon a 10 per cent reduction in wages or short time. In this country, however, trade in cotton goods is very pros- perous, with small stocks on hand, and in Fail River the wages of operatives have been advanced, which is a most favorable sign. Crop reports continue to be rather unfavora- ble, though no real damage has been re- ported, but in some sections there has been too much rain. Locally, the market has been quiet, sales for the week amounting to 1,593 bales, and quotations have undergone no change, o . * Receipts of hay for week were 2,064 tons, and shipments 269 tons. The extreme wet weather in the early spring prevented farm- ers from marketing their surplus at the proper time. Thev were further delayed when the weather did permit its movement by the extra labor in getting in their crops, 80 that when the movement did commence it was very large and far in excess of the demand, causing a very heavy accumulation in stock here and mostly, too, of the lower grades. With so much low grade hay thrown upon the marketin such a short space of time, with the demand limited, prices have fallen rapidly. Still there has been no let up to the accumulation, The percentage of choice and fancy in the dally receipts have been small, but sufficient to supply the wants of the trade and prices have been forced down with the other descriptions. At the decline the best grades were kept fairly well cleaned up, and as receipts became smaller there is now an actual scarcity of these best grades, and for the past two or three days prices have taken a decided upward turn and sharp ad- vances are predicted. New timothy is arriving in moderate quantities, but most of the arrivals so far have been in very bad condition—badly heated and sour—and can only be sold at ‘‘straw’’ prices to be used for packing purposes. Prairie was in fair receipt and generally in fair condition. The daily demand has been about equal to the supply, current receipts being about cleaned up. Chat From Change. English home-grown wheat now averages 87c per bu in their country market. al 5 + As the New York market quotations are not now posted on ’Change, some of the trade ask to have the board showing the movement of grain replaced in its former position near the call board. + » * Mentioning a well-knowrm privilege seller it was remarked that he had not been seliin any puts or calls for several weeks past. ‘* was wondering,’’ remarked a listener, ‘‘why it was his brokers have not been asking him out to drink every fifteen minutes lately.’’ The fishing outfit of one loafof bread and six bottles of whisky is well known, but the contents Of a valise carried by Fil Helery on a recent short trip beat that. The boys claim Fil had in his valise a tooth brush, a necktie, a box cigars and twelve flasks ‘‘Old Crow. 2 * * Some of the members who signed the re- quest for a vote on the amendiment tothe rules that would permit adjournment bya viva voce vote, are wondering what became of it, They need not worry, the petition has been side-tracked until the August meeting of the directors and then no one will care whether the Exchange closes at 12 0’clock on Saturday or not. x = * The San Francisco Post says: ‘‘California wheat has a greater farm value than the wheat of any of the other States of the Union in which wheat growing isa leading industry. Last year the average price of California wheat on the farm exceeded that of Kansas wheat by more thun 80 percent. The reason why our wheat is worth so much more is be- cause it costs so much less to get it tothe foreizn market. The State enjoys the ad- vantage of deep water freight, but it should not be overlooked that a large portion of our grain crop is hauled distances of over 800 miles from San Francisco.’’ The ‘‘bucket shops’’ are to be given a two months’ lease on their present quarters down Stairs, if they wish to renew, but if that mining scheme game keeps on running on Pine street many days longer, the down stairs ‘‘bucket shops“ will not be in exist- ence to renew any\lease.

We are al- ready beginning to estimate, in a rough way, how next season’s supplies are likely to rove, and the result is not very favorable or any immediate improvement if the final result of the American crop is atall equal to that indicatea by the June report of the Washington bureau, which, ifit means any- thing, shows that the United States and Can- ada will next season have at least 150,000,000 bu to spare. The probable European require- ments may be put thus: * Bushels. United Kingdom 160,000 ,000 France a Belgium, Holland and Germany.......... 4 Other Countries If, therefore, America and Canada have 160,000,000 bushels to spare; Russia, 65,000,000 bushels, and India 40,000,000, we have already a promise of 265,000,000 bushels, without counting Roumania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Egypt, Persia, Chili, Australia, and the Ar- gentine, from which couutries 80,000,000 to 100, 000, 000 Dushels may well be expected. From tbe Street. The marked scarcity and high prices of apples all week has been a subject of com- ment. Four to five dollars a barrel and 50 to 90 cents a box are figures rather new in the produce quarters and recalls the prices paid twenty years ago. There is virtually nothing coming in from local orchards. Illinois contributed most of the offerings visible. = = a The past week was a great one for melon shippers and the profits or margins were im- mense. Such figures as $200 to $300 per car for water melons are probably without pre- cedentin the middle of July. Good prices seem to be assured untilthe Southeast Mis- sour! cropof melons mature. The offerings were from Fiorida, Georgia, Texas and Mis- sissippl. 7 2 . In speaking of the decrease in trade in Ter- ritory wools in one of the largest wool mar- kets of the East, the American Wool and Cotton Reporter gives as cogent reasons that st. Louis, owing to its proximity to the ranches, has become a formidable competitor against the East in this branch of the raw wool in- dustry, that St, Louis has excellent facili- tles in collecting, preparing and handling Territory wools, and that the bulk of the business is naturally drifting this way. * * = Mr. A. M. Ives, manager of the Florida Fruit Exchange of Jacksonville, bas been in the city this week on his usual summer trip among his Northern agents. „r. Ives says that during the past season 3,750,000 boxes of oranges left the State of Florida, and he es- timates that at least 250,000 more were unfit for shipment, fell from the trees, were used for other purposes, or were used in the State; consequently the last crop yielded 4,000,000 boxes. He says that the weather was very pad through the spring and early summer, in fact, for over three months they were. with- out rain,and the coming crop will necessarily be less than that of last season. fruit Trade Journal, * * * Asalesman: I think it’s a shame the way the sidewalks are blocked and crowded here every morning. Droves of handsome giris come along from 7to9 o’clock, and in addl- tion to haying to push their way through a rough crowd of peddlers and others who have no respect for anything or anybody, run the risk of having their dresses torn by nails in barreis and boxes that encumber every part of the sidewalk. lknow of several pretty girls who had to abandon Third street and go outof their way to find an open highway. There is no necessity for this blockade elther, See those potato packers, how they roll the barrels right inthe way, leaving * a two-foot passage, where four feet at least should be clear.“ * * * There is a very bitter war raging at present between the importers of foreign fruit and the buyers in New York City. The buyers were organized some three years ago for mutual protection, and they are acting as a body in the present dispute. It appears that the importers in stacking up their goods at the docks for sale at auction or otherwise, manage to open samples that are usually much superior to the general lot which this sample is supposed to fairly represent. Buy- ersin consequence have lost repeatedly by this unjust proceeding. The importers claim while this has been practiced to some extent by a few Jn the trade it does not warrant the attack ofthe buyers on the importers asa body andthey openly declare wens will no longer contribute toward inspection of the goods. 5 > = It is now pretty evident thatthe immense crop of blueberries promised in the North- west a few weeks ago is going to dwindle down, not to an average yield, but toa half crop or less. ‘the first bad report came from Wisconsin in the vicinity of Black River Falls, where the berries were dropping from the stalk badly. A letter from a shipper at Sparta received yesterday says there are scarcely any berries at that point, and what there are to had are bought up by traveling solicitors, Ashipper who usually oes to Brainerd and lark Rapids in this State to buy and ship berries during the sea- son writes thatin the vicinity of Park Rapids the crop will be practically a failure, and that around Brainerd there will be not more than halfa yield. Taken as a whole, mat- terb look pretty blue for blueberries in Min- nesota, and these conditions should give sellers the courage to hold the berries that are coming ata pretty good price.—[Minne- apolis Produce Bulletin. = = * All the fake commission men are not located in Kansas City.

He took the usual route of escaping calves, southward. The Fire De- partment, which few through the street in the morning, was entirely overshadowed by the uproar surrounding the escaping bovine. Where all the boys and idlers so suddenly sprang from as joined in the chase was a mystery. Mr. Broeder’s men, including the office force, flew at the rst Alarm, and in a minute fifty or sixty boys were in line. At Christy avenue a one-armed man suddenly lost his head orbal- ance by the sudden appearance of the crowd and calfand was promptly knocked down and run over. Thecalf then made straight for Albert Kuehne’s corner. Evidently he in- haled a whiff of the limburger cheese, as he suddenly changed his course. At Eugene Wiedner’s the leading men in the escapade, and excitement who were exhausted and full of perspiration, hastily seized Wiedner’s wagon and got a fresh start thereby. The calf was now headed for the river and a regular mob, gathering fresh pursuers atevery step, were steadily gaining on the animal. Henry Will- lams laid down his pipe and paper and flew into the street, trying to fathom the situa- tion, for the crowd, enveloped in dust, at first glance, was a flying aparition to him. At last the calf, surrounded bya dozen ex- hausted men in a wagon, was brought back to the store, and the usual5 per cent for sell- ing was well earned before the calf was dis- posed of. * * — A New York writer to the California Fruit Grower says: i A few words in regard to consigning and commission men, as we have seen consider- able lately about doing away with the middle men. From time immemorial this has been advocated and agitated, but there are more goods of every class and description con- Signed to-day thanever before. Nearly all manufacturers have their agents and con. sign the larger part of their outputs on which they receive advances. It is true the agents are of a higher standard and more responsible than heretofore. The trouble is shippers do not discriminate care- fully between those who solicit their busi. ness, between the responsible and the irre- sponsible houses, between the houses which have had long experience in handling a particular line and have an established trade, and those which have bad no experi- ence and trade. They do not discriminate between those houses which make a spe- cialty of certain lines and devote their entire energies tothem and those which handle everything. If there were no houses to consign to, willing to vance liberally, the shipper at the mercy of a few buyers would put their heads together and set their own price. This has been the experience in all lines for ages. Indiscriminate consign- ing is disastrous inthe extreme. Consigning to houses without experience in handling particular lines, or to houses without sum cient capita! to hold during times of depres- sion which always come, usually results dis- astrously. We repeat that honorable and responsible commission — are a great benefit to any industry. The middle man has his place and always will have. He distrib- utes the product and helps prevent great de- pressions and abnormal increase in prices.“ ON THE STREET. [The Post-Dispatch quotations are ſor lots in first hands, unless otherwise stated.

CHICAGO, July 23.— Opening of Board of Trade market this morning gave every indi- cation ofa dullday, and asthe session pro- gressed no events occurred to belie early feel- ing. Business in all the pits was remarkably light, excessive warm weather apparently taking all ambi- tion out of traders. During the first hour wheat showed but little change, Sept. open- ing at 78e, declining to 77%@78c,and making a partial recovery to 78@78¥ec; September corn at same time ranged between 4838 48 48880. Mess pork for the same opened on advance 5c@$12.0742, weak ened to $12.0242, but quickly re- covered to $12.05. Receipts tor the day: wheat, 270 cars; corn, 272. Estimated re- ceipts Monday—Wheat, 319 cars; corn, 305; Oats, 190. Atnotime during the session did traders in wheat shake off the lethargy brought upon them bythe sultry condition of the temperature and most ofthe news be- ing of ordinary character, business continued light until close. Perhaps the most interest- ing news of the day was contained in the foreign adviceswhich stated that four cargoes of Russian wheat shipped to Gérman and Dutch ports had been purchased for reim- portation into Russia. Itis thought, however, that an embargo may have been placed upon them on account of the cholera raging throughout Russia. Advices from the north- west continued unfavorable, there being many complaints of rust, caused by the late rainy weather. A fair movement was report- ed to the primary markets. Provision market rather quiet, but there was firmer feeling, and prices show an ad- vance of 5 löc along the Whole list. Trading was chiefly in pork, while lard and ribs were dull. Receipts of hogs were light to-day, amounting to only 7,000. Receipts for Monday are estimated at 25,000 and for the week at 100,000. Sept. pork was moder- ately active and opened at $12.07 and closed firm at $12.07%. Jan. was very quiet with trading at 812. 95% 13. 02½, closing $13. Sept. lard also sold early at $7.27% and near the close went up to $7.30, and closed at $7.2742@7.30. Jan. sold sparingly at $7.124@7.15 and rested at $7.15. Sept. was the favorite future in ribs, and sales 8 made at 57. 50% 7. 55 and closed firm at 7. 55. Uncertainty as tothe anti-option bili and the general weakness of the foreign markets tended to weaken prices toward the close. Corn shared the extreme dullness everywhere visible on the floor and remained within nar- row range of dsc. The feeling was fairly steady much of the time, but that is about all that can be said. In fact. the close was easy with Sept. 48 48%c, after earlier touching 48@48$c. Op- erators were little inclined towards new busi- ness and outside orders were few. At the same time speculative offer- ings were restricted. ‘The bulls talked further of possible damage to 2 — by reason of extreme heat, and some Kansas telegrams indicated need of rain. Cables were dull. but firm, and outside domestic markets easy. There were rumors that some corn has arrived abroad in bad condition. Cash corn was in fair demand but barely steady intone. During the week 270,000 bu contract grades were withdrawn from reg- ular elevators. The oats market to-day was devoid of any interesting features, trading being extremely dull throughout the session. Values held almost steady. July opened at 80%c, touched sie, weakened to si,, and closed at that amount. September ranged from 36l44c to 3014@30%c early, but subse- quently declined to 304%c, at which price the Close was made. October sold sparingly at 0% e Receipts were 227 cars while the ship- ments from store aggregated 87,3852 bu. From the unlicensed elevators 22,153 bu were loaded. FINANCIAL. Saml. A.

An Ingenious Plan to Solve the Silver Problem—Gold in Sub-Treasuries In- oreasing—Light Transactions Yester- day in Wall Street— Tips From the Treasury Department. New YorkK, July 23.—This country has in- vited all the countries of Europe to attend an All the nations invited have signified their intention The last one, Russia, was heard country have taken any further steps or given the subject further thought. Perhaps they are sick of the whole affair, or at least, would lige to postpone action until after the more exciting business of National elections is over, but it is difficult to see how they can now let the matter drop. All the initiative steps have been taken by this country, as Was natural, inasmuch as this country wG@uld be the principal gainer by an agree- ment to a more extended use of silver. The original understanding was that the conference should be held this summer. This now appears to be impossible, but it may Still be held in the early fall. The place has not been agreed upon, but Paris or Brussels are looked upon as the most probable, with the former a favorite. No delegates from this country have been officially chosen. Now, will this conference accomplish some- thing toward the settlement of one of the most important of public questions, or will it be a ceremonial farce, a mesh of smirking concessions and diplomatic genuflexions? This rests entirely with this country. If practical business men, and not politicians, are sent as delegates, and if they carry with them some well-defined plans, they can un- doubtedly accomplish a good deal. Other- wise they cannot. The surest means of accomplishment would be the passage by Congress of a joint resolu- tion authorizing the President to suspend for a time the monthly purchases of silver bullion. Thus the countries of Europe would see the necessity of taking some action to holdup the price of silver bullion; whereas, while this country is committed to the policy of purchasing 4,500,000 ounces per month, necessity for action on their part does not seem so pressing. Probably every practical financier in the country will agree that the passage of sucha resolution would be a grandthing. Unfor- tunately there seems little more reason for hoping for the passage of sucha resolution than for the passage of the Sherman bill for the repeal of the Sherman law. Such a reso- Jution might be introduced on one of the sus- pension days, but it seems probable that few ofthe men who voted in favor of free coin- age of silver would vote for it. Its only hope would lie in the fact that it authorized mere- ly a temporary suspension ofthe purchases and that it had forits object the promotion of the ends sought by the International Con- ference. But this isa slender hope, asthe silver men are not generally in favor of the conference. Those in a position to Know assert.thata remarkable sentiment against the purchase of silver under the Sherman act has grown upinthis country during the past few weeks. The strongest hope of those who favor the conference is thatthe Europeans learning of this sentiment will fear the re- peal of the law and will, therefore, be more ready tosee something accomplished at the conference. \\Then, too, England has undergonea strong change of sentiment on silver. No public &nnounce- ment of the intention to hold the conference was made until Mr. Goschen, the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, had been seen and had given his approval. When Secretary Foster was in England the Dimetalists flocked to see him. He was as- tonished at the strength of their views and of the bimetalist movementin England. Just before the recent English elections a letter was made public in which Mr. Gladstone, in answer to a letter, declares that on the assumption that the ac- ceptance of the invitation to the conference bound England to nothing, the revocation Ol our assent to the inquiry upon a change of ministry would be contrary to practice, and also to sound policy.’’ in other words, he did not wish to go into the elections without having declared himself in favor of the con- “ference. All of these things go to show the change of England's attitude. A proposed solution of the silver problem, soingenious as to be worthy of comment, has been conceived by Roderick H. Smith of this city. He hasembodied itin a bill which he has shown to many of the prominent financiers and politicians of this country, It has met with the more or less pronounced approval ofallexcept Mr. W. P. &t. John, who says that itis not worth the powder to blow it up. It provides for the deposit of silver bullion at the Treasury, thedepusitor toreceive treas- ury notes equal at the date of deposit tothe met value of thesilver at the market price. These notesare tosay: ‘‘This certifies that there has been deposited in the Treasury of the United States an amount of silver equal invalue toone gold dollar. This note is redeemable n an amount of sil- ver equal in value to one gold dollar on de- mand, when presented to the amount of $100 or more. dues are paid mainly in silver notes. In other words the notes are practically the same as our treasury notes of 1890, except that instead of the vague promise of redemp- tion in coin“ they are specifically redeem- able in an amount of silver bullion equal in value at the market price prevailing at the time of redemption to the number of dollars demanded. There are subordinate pro- visions, the most important of which is for a charge upon the face value of notes issued whenever the total value of the silver I fund at the prevailing market price shall be less than the total amount of notes. This bill has attracted general atten- tion through its ingenuity, and it may be dis- cussed by Congress and by the monetary conference. It is encouraging to note that the gold in the Treasury is now between $1,000,000 and 000,000 above the low point reached re- and there is ever reason to believe that in the absence of further gold exports the gold in the Sub Treasury will continue to increase as a result of deposits by the banks in order to profit by the Treas- ury’s low rates for shipment of currency to the West. Another means by which the Sub- Treasury is now gaining gold is this: While money is lying idle at this center, Se en the movement of currency tothe West sets in de reached again. the banks are drained of silver notes and customs dues are paid in gold. Unless exports continue the low point Treasury gold holdings, namely $111,000,000, which was reached recently for the first time in many years, will not probably A theorist aims high and usually overshoots his mark. In spite of many dire 2 the present increase in gold holdings by the Treasury furnishes good reason for thinking that there is no im- mediate danger that this country will reall So to a silver basis, although we have in full operation a law which points straight to that end. Practical financiers think that the natural prosperity of this country isso great that even if the present laws were allowed to remain in force for years to come we could Kili maintain our nat onal credit, The growth of this feeling has had much to do with the increase of activity and strength in Our markets which began in the middle of the week. Other reasons are the continued good earnings of the railroads, the develop- mentof the World’s Fair business and the belief that the worst of the depression in the South is over.

The Post's financial article says: Business on the stock market fell back to day into the utter stagnation which characterized the opening of the week. Trading wat merely a matter ofform and there were practically no changes in prices. The bank state- ment again reflected results of the late ex- periment with interest rates, average cash holdings increasing nearly $3,000,000. The de- cline in time money rates during the week was due unquestionably tothis influx of out- siae funds. Curiously enough, loans show continued and haavy contraction, due like that last week to the operations of a few banks; but only in a few cases is the reduc- tion of loans heavy in the same banks as led to the decrease a week ago. The mining market was stagnant to-day without transactions sufficient to bass upon this point. The most sanguine traders ad- mitthat this has been the dullest week they have experienced in years. There was noth- ing done, and it would be utterly impossible to give a decision of the market. THE COTTON CIRCULAR.

Local Review of the Situation in Finan- cial Ciroles. There is scarcely any perceptible change in the money situation. While the shipments of currency to the country for the movement of the winter wheat crop continue liberal, the local demand is only mod- erate. The stock of wheat in store here is increasing daily and large receipts of wheat which has been delayed, on account of wet weather preventing it from being threshed, is expected to arrive in St. Louis within the nexttwo weeks, that will cause an accumulation of stocks. To provide for this large amounts of money will have to used and it is more than likely that it whl have a tendency to advance rates. Bankers claim that there has been a marked improve ment during the last month and that any in- creasein the demand «will cause higher rates.

To-night the last performance of ‘‘Nanon’’ will be given at Uhrig’s Cave. It will also be the last opportunity of listening to Miss Addie Cora Beed, who leaves the Spencer Opera Co. She has been suffering from a cold, and has destred to take a rest. Her place as prima donna will be taken by Miss Carlotta Maconda. Miss Maconda comes to St. Louis witha very high reputation. She has been connected with the company of Emma Juch and others of high stand- ing, and and is considered one of the best sopranos on the light opera stage.

Miss Beaumont has a novel scheme in connection with her proposed agency. Her idea is to make every actor that does business with hera member of a provident association. One-half of all the membership tees will be banked, and the actor who: is stranded by a manager will be entitled to draw upon his reserve to pay his rallroad fare to New York. George W. Lederer’s stock comedians in Nothing but Money, by Mrs. Pacheco, author of last season’s AIncog, are E. L.

Ottermeyer, Julius Steger, Ulss a Burg, Miss Clara Lipman, Miss Shepard, Miss Dell Douglass and Miss Tennye Poole. Mrs Pacheco’s comedy, ‘‘Nothing but Money, is purely farcical, but is coherent, and tells a clean, interesting, as well as highly amusing story. It is thor- oughly American. The complete company engaged to support the American tragedian,Mr.Robert Downing, isa very powerful one and comprises the pick of the profession, each and every one of them having been long identified with the legitimate stage.

GRAHAM H. HAMRICK Is THE NEW EM- BALMER’S NAME. He Shows in His Home Emba med Luna- tics, a Negro Baby and Other Things— „He Will Exhibit at the World's Fair, and Is Anxiously Looking for Subjects for His Art. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoOst-D1sPaTon. PuHiviprr1, W. Va. July 20.—About three miles southwest of Philippi, in the county of Barbour, stands by the highway side a small two-story farmhouse. A narrow yard filled with old-fashioned shrabs and flowers sepa- rates it from the road, and behind it rises a ragged line of hills, dotted here and there with fruit trees. This is the house of Farmer Graham H. Harnrich, the embalmer, dis- coverer ot the lost art ofthe Egyptians, the secret that has lain buried with a dead race for thousands of years. , Farmer Hamrick isa Virginian by birth. He was born in Rappahannock County, Va., about the year 1821, so that now he is near- ing his 75th birthday. He removed to West Virginia in 1854, where he has followed va- rious occupations, such as teaming and farming. He also taught vocal music at dif- derent times and places. He has been twice married and has several sons and daughters living. He has a high, intellectual forehead, be- neath which sparkle keen, yet clear and kindly blue eyes. His complexion ts fair and ruddy, and is set off by an abundance of soft white hair and beard. He has a fine form that shows but little of the burden of his three-score and ten years. His conversation is interesting. Itis now about seven years since Farmer Hamrick began experimenting in a small way with embalming fidid made by himself. He says he does not know when or how the in- spiration came to him and that his discovery is as much a mystery to him as to anyone eise. Early in his experimenting he won the in- terest and attention of Judge Samuel Woods, agentleman well known in West Virginia. By this time he had embalmed several small things, including a baby fawn sent him by Judge Woods. Then an ardent desire came over him to obtain a human body to test his skill in embalming, but where and how to procure it he did not know, as the thing was impossible anywhere near his home. At last, however, Judge Woods sent him with an explanation ofthe situation, to the medical staff of the Asyium forthe Insane at Weston, W. Va., asking them to recommend him to the Faculty of the Medical College at Philadelphia. Reaching Weston he consulted the medical men and they concluded to ald him without going further. Soon the lith of February, 1888, two of the inmates, both adult females, having died, thetr bodies were delivered into his hands to be placed in the morgue of the hospital for the purpose of allowing him to test his skill in embalming by his process. The asylum authorities reserved the right to bury the corpses as soon as decomposition*set in. Fifty-five days afterwaru they were exam- ined by the medical staff, who pronounced them to be in a state of perfect preservation. Later Farmer Hamrick obtained permission from the relatives of the deceased to retain them, and now, aiter a lapse of four years, they may be seen on exhibitian at his house, perfectiy preserved mummies. The bodies are in no way mutilated, not a drop of blood is drawn and the brain and other organs are undisturbed—whersin Hamrick’s system dif- fers considerably from the Egyptians. The bodies on exhibition in his home still show the color of the blood in veins and arteries. He says the fluids used in embalming are perfectly harmless, containing not a drop of poisonous substance. A prominent woman died in the town near his home, and as is often the case, the face turned black after death in places, and as one of the virtues of Farmer Hamrick’s fluids is toremove such discolorations and restore the natural color to the corpse, the relatives, wishing her to look as natural as possible for her burial, sent for him. He went and removed the dark spots, but having to goelsewhere and fear- ing he had not perfected his work, he said to a friend who was aiding the afflicted family: ‘‘Mrs. D., I must go how, but I will leave this bottle, and should those dark spots return could you not saturate these cloths in this fuid and bathe them till they disappear?’’ ‘*Yes,’’ was the hesitating re. ply, but will it hurt my fingers?’ No, he answered, ‘‘it will not hurt you. You would perhaps doubt me if I were to tell you how harmless this solution is, but look here,’’ and to the woman’s amazement he picked up the bottle and drank from it. He laughed merrily at the memory of Mrs. D.’s surprise when he had finished the story. There are many wonderful properties be- longing to the fluids he has concocted. They haye the power to remove all discolorations caused by mortifications,etc., from a corpse, to reduce the swelling of a body after death, and to prevent hemorrhages from the mouth and nose and to destroy all odors, either of disease or decay. Farmer Hamrick can ar- rest decay and destroy all its odors, even after it it is far advanced, For instance, sometime ago he wished to remove the body of Miss stella Felton, his favorite granddaughter, who was buried at Spencer, Koane County, W. Va., to Hopewell Cemetery, near his home, where other mem- bers of his family rest. Though the young woman had been dead nine months, and he had at least three counties tocross with the remains, he accomplished the feat success- fully with the belp of his embalming fluids. A statement very unjust and injurious to Farmer Hamrick was published not long ago, that his only daughter had died at Spen- cer, W. Va., and for lack of means to remove the body to its final resting place it was bur- led there, and that nine months later her father bad taken her up, embalmed her and placed her on exhibition with his other mummies in his own house, This statement is wholly false. His daughters are yet living, and he removed his granddaughter to Hope- well because he wished her to be buried with r friends.

The history interests more tog | the reigning ducal house of Baden, and from 1828 to 1833 all Europe was excited over the story of Kaspar Hauser, Before quoting from Baron d' Antin’s pamph- let, I shall give ina few words all that was then known of Kaspar Hauser. May 25, 1828, a workman met ina street of Nuremberg a semi-idiotic young man, whose physical development seemed to have been ) checked in some violent manner. He could only mutter a few words, and walked with difficulty. He ate only bread, drank ont? water and his eyes were not strong enough | to endure the light of the sun. Acrime was suspected, investigations made, but phy- sicians at last decided that Kaspar Hauser, for that was the name given to the unknown boy, ‘‘was of good family, that he must Nave spent years seated or lying in darkness, | and that he had nevereaten anything but bread, had never tasted other drink than water,’’ Although the boy never recovered his rea- son, from timeto time he would describe | or try to describe sumptuous halls, marble | Staircases and splended furniture that he could never have seen in Nuremberg, It was that caused Nuremberg first, Germany and then all Europe to believe the boy a victim of some royal drama. In 1829 Kaspar escaped assassination by the hand of a masked indi- vidual; soon as cured of his wound an Englishman, Lord Stahhope, went to Nurem- berg, offered toadopt Kaspar, took him to Auspach, placed him with a tutor and disap- peared. Two years after Kaspar was found dead in a public street, a dagger in his heart. That is the story Which excited Europe sixty years ago, and many were the opinions concern: ing this unfortunate boy. Feuerbach, the great criminaliste, wrote that Kaspar Hauser belonged to a princely family, probably to that of Baden. A dying child had evidently been substituted for him and buried in his stead, and, as in Kaspar’s possession was found an anonymous letter bearing the date of his birth, a date corresponding with that ofthe birth of the eldest son of the Grand Duke Charles of Baden, he could be no other han this son. Baron d’Antin’s pamphlet only emphasizes what has already been written by Feuerbach, The Grand Duke Charles Frederic of Baden, who died in 18tlafter a reign of seventy -three years, left children by hist marriages; the older branch descended from a princess of Hesse-Darmstadt, the younger from a mor- ganatic marriage with Countess Hochberg. Every masculine descendant of the Grand Duke in the elder branch, son and grandson, perished inaspace of seventeen years, and always by mysterious accident. Baron d' Antin proves that Kaspar Hauser was Prince Louls, supposed to have died in his cradle, and the instrument of the crime was Maj. Von Hennenhoper, who by intrigue — a high position at the Court of Caris- ruhe. Baron d' Antin shows us Hennenhoper bux- ing silence at a high price, but more than all, he produces extracts from Hennenhoper’s memoirs. Of these memoirs there are three copies, one in the hands of the Government of Baden, a second at Frankfort and the third in Bohemia. Here is a passage from the memoirs: Sept. 29, 1812.— Two hundred salutes announced the birth of a Grand Duke. Oct. 15, 1812. Countess Hochberg sent away her companion, enveloped herself in a white robe, threw over her head a thick velli, passed throtgh the corridors of the castle and by a secret door entered the room where the little Duke, aged only 3 weeks, lay in his cradle. The maid and nurse slept — ; the Countess took the sleeping child rom the cradle and put another in its place. The substituted child was that ofa peasant and perishing from consumption. Countess Hochberg had concealed it under her veil, and finishing her work she went out by the secret door. The guard saw her dis- appear, a lackey fell down from fright, while the chamberlainus, Burkhard and Sauerbeck, watched thecorridors. Sauerbeck took the child from the hands of the Countess, Drought it to me at the Durlach gate, on the road to Rinthelm, where I was waiting with a closed carriage; it was then about midnight. Lonly obeyed orders I had received. Carisruhe peo- ple think the white lady isa spirit that ap- pears whenever a member of the grand ducal family is about to perish. The following morning the chiidin the cradle was dying; Oct. 16 at 30’clock he was dead. Because of the ill-health of the Grand Duchess she was not permitted to see the dead child. ‘*‘] carried the child to the nurse who was to bring it up, and she thought it belonged to some lady-in-waiting. Later, because of the Countess’ imprudence, another opinion was prevalent. ‘The child remained with the nurse four years, until my departure for Vienna. When the Grand Duke returned from Vienna (June, 1815,) I carried the child then no longer safe in the neighborhood—to Hochral, near Lauffenburg Waldshut. ‘*April 30, 1815, a second prince was born; he was carefully watched andtended, I had nothing to do with his sudden death, on May 8, 1817, Herr von bude was on service in that affair.”’ Baron d' Antin publishes a document, even more decisive, the fac-simile of a letter writ- ten by the Grand Duke Louis, accomplice of Countess Hochburg: KARLSRUHE, June 3, 1828. „%o my Government: eln Nuremberg, all failed last month; take meaé- tires necessary on this occasion, so that the repose of my grand duchy be untroubled. Receive in return the assurance of the constant interest that 1 take in your prosperity. I remain your affectionate 5 To Herr yon Berstett. Herr von Berstett was President of the Cabinet, and May 25, 1828, Kaspar Hauser was found in the street of Nuremberg. Baron d' Antin affirms that this letter was given bim by a royal personage, to whose father it had been sent by Herr von Berstett a short time before his death. The letter was inclosedin a thick paper, and onthe paper was this superscription: „„This is the solution of the mystery of Kasper Hauser. I beg Your Highness, on his honor asa prince, to unveil this secret, or cause it to be unveiled, only fifty-five years after my death.’’ The fifty-flve years expired the 16th of last February. It cannot be denied that Dec. 14, 1834, an in- dividual called Kaspar Hauser was assassin- ated in the Hofgarten of Auspach. On the spot were the crime was committed was laced an octagonal column bearing the fol- owing inscription: * „ „% %⸗ „„ „ „ „„ eee „ „% „% „%% „% „% „ „%% «ðyöj„ç eee „% „ „ „ „ „„ „% „ „„ „„ „% „ „ „„ „ „„ 6 6 „%% 6 6 6 „6 6660 8 * Hic OCCULTUS OCCULTO OCCISSUS EST XIV Dec. MDCCCXXXAIIL, non the tomb of Kaspar Hauser is the follow- g: „Hic JACET KASPARUS HAUSER OENIGMA : : SUL TEMPORIS, IGNOTA NATIVITAS OCCULTA : ‘ mors MOCOCXXXHL.”? ee eee ee eee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee „„ „% „ „% „% „% „ „ „ „ „ „ „„ It has been suggested that perhaps Kaspar Hauser was son of the Grand Duchess steph- anie of Baden. stephanie was cousin of Jo- sephine de Beauharnais and adopted daugh- ter of Napoleonl. In this case the prince would have been victim of his origin, because he was nearly related tothe house of Bona- parte. The crime had for object and for re- sult the suppression of a direct branch by a collateral branch on one of the thrones of Europe. If Baron d' Antin tells the truth the House of Baden owes its crown to a crime, and this revelation will without Qoubt pro- duce excitement in Germany. The Grand Duke of Baden is uncle of the Emperor, grandson of the Countess Hochberg and third cousin of Louis, the author of the letter above quoted, so that to-day Kaspar Hauser may bring consternation to a great family.

An Important Syndicate—The Valley and Fanny Rawlins-—Strike in the Now Hall—The Silver Cork — News From Creede Camp. LEADVILLE, UColo., July 23.—Some weeks ago the fact was mentioned that a very important syndicate was being formed here. The new combination is now fully or- ganized, and will at once take hold ofa number of excellent properties that have not been worked for some time. Among the mines to be taken up in this deal are the El Phso, Tip Top and Jamie Lee. Work will probably commence this week, and will ‘first be started on the last named property, as a very fine body of ore, was discovered in the Jamie Lee workings. The Valley folk bave finished sinking and by the end of the month will have their drift completed; they will then largely increase their shipments, which now amount to ten tons per day. The drift run in the Fanny Rawlins has opened up the carbonate contact, which is the same as encountered by the Little Johnnie and from which so much very rich ore was shipped. The Pawnalas people have opened up an- other fine body of iron ore, which is being mined and stored for shipment while the shaft is being continued downward. A very fine strike was made inthe New Hall lode on Thursday. The management struck a Vein of mineral on the hanging wall, assays from which return three ounces of gold and 18 per cent of lead to the ton. Steady pumping is now going on in the Penrose and Sixth street shafts. About fifty tons per monthof very good iron are now being shipped from the up- per and the lower levels of the Catalpa- Crescent. SILVER CORD MEETING. The twelfth annual meeting of the stock- holders of the Silver Cord Combination Min- ing Co., was held here on Thursday; 291, 740 shares out of 500,000 were represented.

Warne, Philadel phia, and T. 8. Wood, Leadville. One of the largest deposits of pure lead car- bonate ore ever discovered in the State was opened up this week on the Lillydale ground, Monarch District. The body is without de- velopment ten feet in width. WORK IN CREEDE. Creede people are greatly rejoiced over the shaping ofthe greatest enterprise ever in- auxurated in the camp, that of working with a diamond drill some seventy claims on Bachelor Mountain, a company with a capital of $3,009,000 having already been organized. A big deal will be completea at Carson Camp next week, which will result In the or- ganization of one of the biggest mining companies ever formed in that section.

Y., July 28.—A cer- tain young woman arrived at the springs this week whose blonde hair and lovely tinted cheeks were the envy of all the belles. She was decidedly pretty, and she resolved to adoptall the Richfleld fads. One morning she strolled over to the bath house and bought a ticket for a sulphur bath. After her bath she was pelted and rubbed down by one of the attendants in charge, and on her way home she bought $25 worth of tickets, intend- ing to take the entire course, The next morning a Message was received at the bath house to send the | ghee blonde at once the —— who had served her the day be- ore. There was a scene, and the outcome of it all was that the pretty, delicately-tinted blonde left on the first train out of Richfield, with all her goods and chattels. The truth is, the dainty creature was a vic- tim ofall sorts of cosmetics and red rouges, and the sulphur bath was death to her beauty. „During the night she had turned an ebony black, and no persuasion on the part of any of her beautifiers was sufficent to make ber presentable for breakfast. She has one somewhere to recover, as itis claimed the ebony hue will wear off in time, InNsIst on getting Dr. ENNO SaNDER’S Selt zer or Ginger Ale, whichis pure and whole- some.

CHICAGO, III., July 23.— A revolution in the Island of Cuba is likely to take place at any moment, said R. G. Socorro, a Cuban now in Chicago and who was until recently Secre- tary of the Councilof Presidents of Cuban clubs at Key West. Much blood will likely flow in the island before the end of the year as we intend to fly the Cuban flag from Morro Castle in the port of Havana next fall. The state of affairs in Cuba is ripe for a revolu- tion.

Vacant Places in Old Districts Rapidly Filling Up—A Heavy Week’s Business forthe Season—Review of the Market —Agents’ Reports. To the well-informed and careful o nothing affords more satisfactory evidence of the stability of real estate values in the western districts than the steady building that is constantly going on in the old limits east of Grand avenue. Old-time real estate operators Who never forget anything past and rarely learn anything new, have for years been pointing to the great jumps“ made in the past by which leaps large areas were completely passed over and remained Vvieant for several years after, a constant Menace to values. But that time has passed, The unvarying tendency now seems to be not only to cover new districts and fill them up with buildings, but also to build up all the vacdnt spaces in the older districts. The large number of buildings under way east of Grand avenue on ' such streets as Chestnut, Olive, Laclede, Franklin or Easton avenues are easily ob- served, but the same state of affairs exists on older streets. For example, in such old time districts as that between Market street and Clark avenue eastof Jefferson avenue, there are now eight new buildings under way, and but two houses for rent. On Wash and Carr Street the same conditions may de seen, only four Vacancies appearing on Wash street west of Fourteenth, and five new buildings under way. Eventhe side streetsare being rapidiy covered. In the district between Jefferson and Grand avenues, Laclede and Cass avenue, there were on Dec. 1, 1891, but 5,500 feet front of vacant lots, and yet in the whole of that area nearly fifty buildings are now under way. It is the same further west. But a few years ago Grand avenue was the western limits. That street is rapidly getting down town. But few streets now have vacant lots east of Vandeventer avenue, and on many of them north of Olive street there is very little vacancy east of Taylor avenue. On Dec. 1. 1891, there were 6,130 feet front of vacant lots in the district between Page avenueand Pine street, Grand and Vande- venter avenues, and twenty-one houses were then bullding within the streets named. In the same district there are now but 4,295 feet, or less than one-tenth the total frontage vacant, ,and twenty-eight new houses are now building there, and even of this small vacant area 60 per cent of it is on two streets. Vandeventer avenue already rivals Grand avenue asa business thoroughfare, while Taylor avenue is a gocd second and is about to have an electric car line along its entire length from the Manchester road tothe Nat- ural Bridge road. These arethe reasons that well-informed agents give for the stability and constantly advancing values inthe western districts, and it is plainly apparent that with such a close building growth which covers everything as it goes and leaves not only no vacant areas, but not even any vacant lots behind it, values must continue to advance because such advances are based upon an actual consumptive building demand.

Reabestate sales during the past week have been much heavier than during any cor- responding period of time in the history of the city. The buying has been principally confined to residence property, 251 sales having been consummated, embracinga total consideration of $978,666, as shown by deeds actually executed and filed for record. The greater number of these were small transac- tions, which indicate the general ¢endency of the people to invest their spare money in real estate. ee the larger purchases of the week were the following: Edwin J. Conradas bought the premises numbered 114 to 124 inclusive North Broad- way, for $65,000. John V. Hogan bought 5,000 feet west of Union avenue, south and west of the Bell place for $180,000. Nicholls-Ritter and Nelson & Mersman bought 2,40; feet on the west side of Union avenue, the Gregory tract next north of Portand place, for $200,000. THE BIRCHER BUILDING SOLD. The Bircher Building, an old four-story stone front structure occupying 65x115 feet of ground on the north side of Chestnut street opposite the Laclede Hotel, between Broad- wayand Sixth streets, was sold yesterday from Chas, A. Bircher to Chas. K. Ramsey for $100,000. In this transaction the grantor was rer esented by John Grether while G. V. R. Mechin looked after the tnterests of the purchaser. Mr. Ramsey says the old house is to be torn down to give place fora fine $400,000 twelve- story fire-proof office structure, and that work upon this important new improvement for Chestnut street will be commenced within the next six months. In its day the Bircher building was looked upon as one of the most imposing architect- ural piles in the city, its towering four stories being considered very lofty at that time, but now it is to be torn away as a great many other four-story buildings have been leveled in the businesscenter within the past five years in hewing out a broader scope and more magnificent future for the new st. Louis of to-day. The Bircher Building was built by John Smithers, the undertaker, and it used to cast its early morning shadows upon the City Jail that stood on the corner of Chestnut and Sixth streets, now the site of the Laclede Hotel. Dr. Bircher, deceased, acquired the property, and ata partition sale of bis estate on July II, 18%, the building was purchased by his sun, Charles A, Bircher, for $74,800, the competition between bidders at that time being, quite meager, as the building was out of date and not paying well on account of its antiquated interior arrangements and lack of modern conveniences. SOLD A BLOCK IN MT. AUBURN, The Hammett- Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. solda block of ground in Mt. Auburn yesterday for $6,120 to ii. 1. A. Linchey, who previously owned a large plat of ground in that tract, and who has already commenced to improve a portion of it fronting on Theo- dosia avenue, east of Hamilton, with a two- story, six- room and reception hall dwelling. The property sold to Mr. Linchey a. has a frontage of 510 feet ya depth of 120 on the south side of Cote Brilliante avenue, the next street north of Theodosia avenue, and it extends from the corner of Goodfellow avenue westward up ihe slope toward Hamilton avenue. Consid- ering that property east of this in Garfield lace has been sellingat $14 to $20a foot, Mr. inchey has secured quite a bargain. In Mt. Auburn restrictions prohibit the construction of less than a two-story dwelling. This limit defining the character of Mt. Auburn im- provements insures that it will be built up with a good class of houses, a very material consideration to house buyers. SIX DWELLINGS IN FOREST PARK PLACE.

For sev- eral reasons, possibly among them lack of financial assistance, the work on the struct- ure was stopped, with only the basement completed. That part of the building has, however, been available for worship. The new edifice, when completed, will be one of the handsomest church buildings in America, and will exceed in richness of de- sign and boldness of architecture even that famous Cathedral of St. Patrick in New York, and will be a lasting monument tothe fidelity and devotion of the Catholics of St. Louis. The contracts for nearly all the work have been let, and, commendably, to st. Louis contractors. The building will be of Bedford and St. Louis limestone, with front of 92 feet 8 inches on Grand avenue, running west there- from 209 feet, independent of its two sacristies, each 38 by 23 feet. The body of the church will be 85 feet across, and 6 feet in height, clear of the naves. The clear stony head 2 walls and arches will be carried on granite N 4 3 — — 77 — xl — —- * * aE a 2 columns with molded bases. The main entrance on Grand avenue its a molded arch, supported by Gothic columns, and is decidedly rich, from an architectural point of view. Besides another efitrance to the church onthe same side are two more on Lindell avenue, all highly ornate and pleas- ing. A magnificent rose window 18 feet in diameter, placed over the main entrance, adds to the beauty of the front of the edifice. It is a house of gables and they are bold and beautiful; there are six independent ones on the front. The distance from the ground to the top of the finial is 200 feet. The interior of the church is, artistically considered, as handsome and imposing asthe exterior. Theside aisies, fave and sanctu- ary are groined and the entire decoration is rich and impressive; a soft and subdued light is thrown within by many stained windows cut in unique pattern. The confessionals are built in recesses in the side aisle walls. The style of architecture which prevails in the new structure is known as the Transition Gothic and was affected in England during the fifteenth century and is bold, striking and ornate. The first architect of the buliding was Thomas Walsh of st. Louis, who has since died. His mantle has fallen upon Henry R.

17 The POST-DISPATCH Will Be Read Busy Thousands and Your — Want Filled „ — Sr. LOUIS, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 24. 1892, OUT ON BOND. Attorney Marshall McDonald Re- leased From the Holdover. He Served Three Sweltering Hours, How- ever, for Contempt of Court. APPLICATION MADE BY HIM FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. The Matter Will Come Up for Argument To-morrow—The Lawyer's Attempt to Connect the Name of a Citizen With His Client, the Notorious Nina Mar- shall, Causes Judge Morris to Fine and Imprison McDonald for Contempt of Court. : Marshali F. McDonald, the attorney, who was fined $10 yesterday morning by Judge Morris of the First District Police Court and committed tothe holdover of the calaboose at the Four Courts for twenty-four hours for contempt of court, was released on bond yes- terday afternoon, pending the hearing of an application fora writof habeas corpus filed by him. This was not, however, until he hap spent three sweltering hours in the bake- oven of a holdover. Mr. MeDonald’s arrest was highly sensa- tional, taking place in the court-room and in the midst of a trial in which he was acting as attorney for the defendants, It was the culmination of a series of tilts between himself and Judge Morris in the lat- ter’s court during the several trials of Nina Marshall, the keeper of a disreputable house at No. 1312 Pine street. Her house has been raided by the police a number of times of late and the inmates together with the Marshall woman brought before Judge Morris, where they were fined, Mr. McDonald has claimed at every trial of their cases that it wasa piece of persecution and malicious personal spite on the part of a gentleman whose influence, he alleged, was strong in police circles, He has endeavored at the several trials to bring out the name of the gentleman in question, but tbe court has always thwarted him inthis, stating that he would not permit the character of any repu- table man tobe besmeared in that manner. The result has invariably been several sharp and bitter passages between them. Last Thursday night,the Marshall woman’s house was raided and she and theinmates, so Mr. McDonald claims, were dragged from it with nothing on except their night wrappers, and driven in the hoodlum wagon to the Four Marshali McDonald. Courts where they were locked up without being permitted to give bail. Their cases were called for trial Friday but owing tothe absence of Sergt. Williams and the two policemen who made the arrest, they being at the Waters-Pierce Oo. fire, they were continued until yesterday morn- ing. YZSTERDAY’S TRIAL. At the beginning of the trial yesterday Mr. McDonald asked that all five women be tried together, but Acting City Attorney O'Brien objected, asthe charge against the keeper of the house was different from that against the inmates, and Judge Morris decided that Miss Marshall must be tried alone, But that her girls could be tried to- gether. Miss Marshall was then called into court and took her seat alongside of her at- torney, in front ofthe box. Sergt. Williams was called to the witness stand. He testified tothearrest of the defendant and to the kind of house she kept, and then he was turned over to the defense for cross-examina tion and the trouble at once began. Mr. Mc- Donald asked the witness who had ordered him to raid this house and Sergt. Williams anewered: *‘I don’t think that’s any of your Dusiness. The question wey again put, on whose order or authority gd you make that arrest?’’ My own, responded the witness. Several similar questions were put with a view to eliciting whether Williams had received in- structions to arrest the Marshall woman, but witheut success. JUDGE MORRIS ANGERED. Did any private individual give you the order?’’ was then asked, whereupon Judge Morris brought his hand down on the bench with a bang and told the witness notto answerthe question, but he did so anyway and said no. He had not and could not re- ceive orders from a private citizen. Mr. McDonald to witness: Did anyone give you any suggestion or intimation in re- gard to arresting these women?’’ The court to witness: ‘‘Now just don’t answer that question. Mr. Mebonald. Why not?’’ The Court: I'll not allow this court to be made the sewer through which the slime in these cases may fall on the heads of respect- able people. It can’t be made the channel for blackmalling respectable people. Mr. McDonald hoped the court wasn’t in- sinuating that he was trying to biackmail anybody. Judge Morris: I don't care how you take it. Youcan’tcome in here and make this court the vehicle for throwing slime on de- cent and respectable people. You can’t do it bere. You can’t ask that question again,and it oR do,I’ll fine you for contempt of court. Ir. McDonald: *‘Why?’’ Judge morris, lowering his voice and be coming calmer: ‘‘I told you frankly why, and i don’t want you to doit. Mr. McDonald: ‘‘You have no right to fine me for asking questions.“ WARMED UP AGAIN. The Judge, warming up again: Well, I'll do it anyway, whether I havea right or not. Either you or lare going to run this court. Mr. \.cDonald: ‘*‘I don’t think tnere’s any question as to your being the Jude. The Court: ‘*Now 1 mean every word I say. I don’t want to persecute anybody, but these prostitutes can’t comein hereand run this court. Yon have a right asa lawyer to pro- tect your clients, but it is my duty to see the hamesof good people are protected. McDonald: ‘*‘Where did you get that @uthority?’’ The Court: ‘‘l assume it.’’ Mr. McDonald: It I attempt to show that this arrest was at the instanceof a . individual have youa right to pre- The Court: McDonald: „„es, I have. „Well, I propose to ask the qguestion.’’ The Court: I' fine you then.“ Mr. McDonald said that he would make a _ test of the Court's power to fine him. udge Morris answered allright, the sooner better, ere individual had been object im and that the ob ions — 3 — if the it pe clearly a case of con- u ons were again the Sinoumetances. * AID IT WAS CONTEMPT.

McDonald: ‘*Did Smith come to you and say that he was going to run this woman out of town?“ The Court to witness: ‘‘Don’t answer. McDonald: ‘*Why do you persistently arrest this woman and arrest no other keeper in that neighborhood?’’ nr raed O'Brien: I object to the ques- n * The Court: ‘‘Sustained.’’ THE FINE IMPOSED. Sergt. Williams was here excused and Officer Fiannigan took the stand. He stated that he staid on the outside of the house while it was being raided. He had seen a good many men gointothe house at night, but couldn’t say who any of them were or what they went infor. Mr. McDonald here asked several questions to obtain from the witness the name of any one man he had seen enter the house and then he put the question: Did you ever see —— go in there?“ Judge Morris promptly: ‘‘I fine you $10.’’ McDonald: ‘‘I have a right to know who he Saw going into that house.’’ The Court: I will not permit it.“ Judge Morris here read from an opinion in the Emma Baldwin case to show that such questions as Mr. McDonald asked were irrelevant in cases of this kind and stated that this was not the firsttime that he nad held the names of es people from being dragged into such cases in his court. In the Agnes O’Brien case recently tried he bad sustained the witness in refusing to give the name of a respectable lady, who happened to call on Mrs. O’Brien. Mr. McDonald then got up and made quite along argument to show that to make a case of this kind the city must prove the resence of menas wellasof women, and hat when that was proven he had a right to know who the men wereif the prosecuting witnesses kKnewthem and toask what they were there for. Nocourt inthis country or any other country had ever dared to question the defendant’s right in that particular. TheCourt: ‘Youcan’t have the name of any individual man.’’ M’DONALD DEFIANT. McDonald: *‘lam happy to say Your Honor can’t prevent it. Judge Morris: Tou can’t get the names here, but you may get them elsewhere. McDonald to witness: ‘‘ Will you give me the Dame of one wan?’’ The Court to witness: ‘‘Don’t do that.“ McDonald to witness: ‘*‘You don’t Know of a single instance of a man’s going there. Witness: Les, I do.“ McDonald: ‘‘Give me his name. The Court: I will not aliow it. shall be given.’’ McDonald: Did you ever see John Jones go there?’’ The Court: Don't answer.“ McDonald, smiling: Did you ever see Sergt. Williams go there“ A laugh went up in the crowded lobby and the Marshal cried ' silence. McDonald, smiling again as he addressed the Court: our Honor won't hold that he is arespectable citizen. There was another laugh at Sergt. Wil- liams’ expense, but the Sergeant looked dag- gers at McDonald, evidently taking the at- torney seriously. The Court, grinning: ‘‘The Sergeant isa public officer and is privileged to go where he pleases.’’ McDonald to witness: ‘‘Did me go there?’’ The Court: Don't answer that. **McDonald to Court: Why do Shes Os to that Do you think l'm a re le citizen?’’ The Court, smiling: ‘‘I think so.“ McDonald: 1 don't see why the Court should object if I plead gullty. Why don’t your Honor fine me?“ There was no reply und then Mr. McDonald got on forbidden ground again. THE COMMITMENT ORDERED. Do you know——?’’ he asked of the witness, and Judge Morris pounde.i on the desk and suid, half rising in his seat: I commit you to the holdover for twenty - four hours. After this case is over take this man down stairs, Mr. Marshal,’’ speakingto oneof the deputy marshals of the court. Mr. McDonald said that the court had no right to make any such order and proceeded with his cross-examinaticn, evidently de- termined to control his temper, if possible. He putthe question again to the witness, whereupon Judge Morris arose from his seat and called to Deputy Marsnal Price and Sergt. Williams to sieze Marshall McDonald and take him down to the lock-up at once. JERKED OUT OF HIS CHAIR. McDonald didn’t want to get up, but Will- lams jerked him out of the chair with the assistance of a policeman and the Deputy Marshal. ** Adjourn court, shouted Judge Morris. **Silence,’’ shouted Deputy Marshal Fox as the people began getting up andrushing over the floor in all directions, Order was soon restored, and Marshall Mc- Donald made no further resistance. He was led out tollowed by a big crowd of people, but only a few of them were permitted to go below. When Sergt. Wiiliams marched up to Capt. Young’s office down stairs with his prisoner —- asked what the charge was. sal No name you ever see LOCKED UP. Jou have no right to lock me up, he said, ‘‘without a charge. Capt. Young was out atthe time and Sergt. Grady not caring to take the responsibility of deciding so im- portant a question on his own responsibility went upto the Chiefof Police for instruc- tions. in a minute or two he returned and ordered the prisoner locked up. Me- Donald's kets were searched. No pistol, knife or other deadly weapon was found, but only a few private papers and some $25 in money. ‘‘What is your age?’’ asked the Sergeant. 1 decline to state, answered McDonald, and no further question was asked him. After Mr. McDonald was taken from the court room Judge Morris at first insisted upon going on with tue trial of the Marshall wom- an, but afterward continued the case until to-morrow, fearing that the occurience might prejudice him some, and also knowing that the woman was left without an attor- ney. THE COMMITMENT. The document under which Mr. McDonald was committed to the Hold-over was worded as follows: STATE OF MISSOURT, CITY OF Sr. LOUIS. To the City Marshal of the City of St. Louis— Greeting: Whereas, In the First District Police Court of the city of St. Louis Marshall F. McDonald ullty of contempt of said court, in this, to-wit: Ihat fie repeatedly mentioned the name of a respectable citizen, to-wit-————, in a case wherein Nina Mar- shall, a prostitute, was being tried for keeping a house of prostitution. The Judge of the First Dis- trict Police Court repeatedly warned the said Mar- shal F. McDonaid as attorney for the said Nina Marshall to refrain from mentioning the name of the said————, and said that if he per- sisted ne would be fined for contempt. He, the said attorney, did persist and repeatedly used the name and the Court fined mim, and immedi- ately sentenced him to be confined, and, whereas the Police Justice of said court hath therefore sen- tenced said defendant to twenty-four hours’ con- finement in the calaboose ofthe city of st. Louis. These are, therefore, to commaud you, the sald City Marshal of the city of St. Louis, forthwith to convey and to deliver into the custody of the keeper of the calaboose aforesaid the body ofthe said de- fendant and you, the keeper of the said calaboose, are hereby commanded to receive the body of said defendant into your custody into said calaboose and him safely there keep for the space of twenty-four hours fromthe time he shall have been delivered into your custody. Given under my hand this 23d day of July, 1892, On the back of the paper were printed the words. Committ for contempt, and under them were written, ‘‘Fine, $10; com- mitted for twenty-four hours, from 10:50 a. m. this 28d day of July, 1892. SYMPATHY AND SERVICES TENDERED. The news of Mr. McDonald’s commitment seemed to have spread all over the city ina littie while, as many inquiries were received through the telephone in regard to it before 12 o'clock, and a number of the prisoner’s friends had tendered as- sistance’ to him in one way or another. Mr. f a livery stable man, sent word that age wasat his disposal, but Mr. neben ~ ed with a smile how in the ) common sense he could in the calaboose, From could not be argued without Mr. has been | that une on the Hanley road. and lodging accommodations are to bo se- cured on the grounds at reasonable rates. The | daily at lla. m.. 3 p. m. and 8 p. m. he received a note to the effect that he stood ready to furnish him bail to the ount of $100, Messrs. Harvey and Simon , at- torneys, tendered their services profession- ally and they were accepted. HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS. The lawyers drew up a writof habeas cor - poe and one of them hunted up Judge laiborne and got him to set 20’ciock in the afternoon for the hearing of the writ. The paper was duly served on the City Marshal. The latter was at first disposed, after consulting City Counselor Wm. C. Marshall, to take his about answering writ, as the lam wave bim 24 hours in which tomake answer, but Judge Morris told him to go ahead and have the matter over withas he didn’t wish to have Mr. McDonald punished illegally, and so Deputy Marshal Wollblock, in the absence of the City Marshal, complied with the wishes of all parties and at o’clock escorted his prisoner into the Court of Crimi- nal Corfection. McDonald yrinned and smiled in a sarcastic ay as he entered the room and received the twits of his friends good naturedly. It was 2:30 p. m. when Judge Ciaiborne ascended the bench. Deputy Marshal Woll- block’s attorney, Wm. C. Marshall, the City Counselor, was not present, As the question arshall Judge Claiborne set next Wednesday after- noon, 2 o’clock, for the hearing, and the question as to what should be done with the prisoner in the meantime then came up. ADMITTED TO BAIL, Mr. Harvey argued that he should be re- leased on bail. There was no one to reply for the City Marshal and Judge Claiborne de- cided that the prisoner could be bailed and named $500 as the amount of the bond, Ex-Councilman C. Comfort at once went on Mr. McDonald’s bond. Mr. McDonald said he had been robbed by the police and that the court would haveto trust him for the dollar bond fee. Mr. McDonald, on talking his leave, said the police had taken his money from him illegally, and he would replevin it through a Justice of the Peace. As he was going out of the building he reconsidered his intent ion of filing a replevinsuit againt the Police Depart- ment and told his partner, Mr. Howe, to go and get his property for him, Capt. Young happened along at the same time and Mr. McDonald told him to deliver over his money 2 other valuables to Mr, Howe, which he ANGRY AT THE POLICE. When Mr. AicDonald was searched at the time he was received by Sergt. Grady asa prisoner at ll o’clock, Sergt. Williams made a motion as if he were going to take off the prisoner’s diamond shirt studs, but Sergt. Grady said no, that they didn’t want his diamonds. Mr. McDonald in commenting on this after his release was very severe on Sergt. Willlams, calling hima ruMan and robber, as he did several other members of the police force. He was very indignant atthe treatment he had re- ceived in the calaboose. ‘‘I was the City Marshal's prisoner if anybody’s prisoner legally, he said, and the police had no right whatever, to search me or to take any- thing froin me Whatever. Asked whether he intended suing the city or not, he answered that he did not know yet what he would do. hat would be a mat- ter for future consideration.. In the event that Judge Claiborne’s de- cision is against Mr. Mebonald to- mor- row, the attorney will be returned to the calaboose to sweat out the twenty-four hours for which he was ortzinally committe:l, minus the three hours that he spent in the holdover yesterday. Nina Marshall, the woman whose frequent arrests and trials have resulted in sucha sensational culmination, was born at Elsah, III. Her parents were well to do. due married, but she showed such fondness for other men’s society that her husband se- cured a divorce from her. She took to — 6 open life of shame and is now probably h er most brazenand notorious woman of kind in the city.

TOPEKA, Kan., July 23.—The People’s party State Central Committee has decided to open the campaign in Kansas on Aug. 1. and at that time will put 100 orators in the fleld. The State will be more thoroughly canvassed than any other party has ever attempted to canvass it. More attention will be given to Kansas by the new party than toany other Western State. James B. Weaver, the candi- date for President, has promisedto give two weeks to Kansas, elther in September or October, In a letter written to the Chairman of the State Central Com- mittee, Gen. Weaver says that he is surer of Kansas than any other State. He says also that he feels sure of lowa, Nebraska, Minne - sota and the Dakotas and probably a number ofthe Southern States. Ignailus Donnelly, the well-known leader of the People’s party in Minnesota, has written to the Kansas com- mittee promising to give a good share of his time tothis State during the coming cam- paign, and he will be here not later than Sept. 15. He will make at least one speech in each Congressional district, and if he has the time will make several speeches in the Fifth District in the interest of Congressman John Davis, whom ne regards as one of the strongest men engaged in the reform movement. In addi- tion to Weaver and Donnelly, about a dozen other prominent members of the new party, including several ex-Democrats from the Southern States, will be brought to Kansas within a few weeks, Jerry Simpson, John Davis and William Baker, the three Alliance Congressmen who were renominated, have written tothe com- mittee that they expect totake the stump at once in their respective districts. They hope to have their canvass well under way by Aug. 15, and will stay in their own districts until election day. simpson is in demand in other States, but he realizes the fact that he has all he can take care of in the Seventh Dis- trict, and he will make no speeches in other States. ‘enator Peffer will be in the fleld a week or two after the adjournment of Congress. He has already accepted invitations to speak in a number of southern States, but the greater part of his time will be devoted to kansas. He fears that his health will not permit him to make as active a canvass as he would like to make, but as soon as the cold weather sets in he promises to goin with all his might and will stay in the field until the day of election.

Babb to-day filled with the Supreme Court the brief for the defend- ant in the case of Dr. Thatcher Graves, plaintif® in error, who is under sentence of death for the poisoning of Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby. The brief opens with the statement that the plaint ift assigns twenty-four errors in the record of the trial, replying, however, upon only six of them. It continues that Dr, Giaves’ brief bristles with insinuations of unfairness upon the trial court, and closes with the language: Our e contention is that both in the admission of evidence and in the instructions to the jury the predomli- nant and controlling idea which characterized this trial was that plaintiff in error could be convicted and that, as a matter offact, he was convicted upon the suspicions of witnesses and upon hea i? Mr. Babb goes on that there was nothing in the entire record to warrant any such re- flection upon the very eminent and learned Judge before whom the case was tried. The case was tried with great care and exceeding fairness, as the record showed, and with. desire at aul protect rights.

INTERESTING DOCUMENTS oN RECORD IN THE PROBATE COURT. Written for the SuxDAY Post-DispatTcn. The records of the Probate Court, reciting as they dothe expressions of those who are now classed witha past generation, contain many interesting passages, illustrating the character of those, who though now resting in their graves, speak to the living from the pages of the probate register. The will of Judson Allen, admitted to pro- bate March 7, 1889, is a typical instrument from the hands of a dying Christian. Mr. Allen lived at 3034 Bell street. The wil] dis tributed a handsome estate among the mem- bers of the testator’s family. The closing sections of the will read as follows: My pilgrimage being now about to close I 8 and bequeath to my grandson, Edward Wilson, my certificate of stock for $390 of the Mechanics’ Bank in the city of St. Louls and to my grandson, Newton R.

DALY’S WILL. The faith of urs. Emma M. Daly in her hus- band was second.only to the conviction she entertained with regard tothe future state into which she was so shortly to pass when she wrote her will. The instrument reads as | follows: In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, the most blessed, holy and un- |, divided Trinity existing in the richfulness of being, one in the same adorable, divine nature, and three in the same divine persons in that ‘holy name of the Triune God, **Il, Emma M.

In a codicil to his will Joseph Anthony Schneider describes the nature of the disease ne will die of, and gives his wife some inter- | esting instruction. Mr. Schneider's will was admitted to probate Feb. 18, 1887, and dis- tributes his estate among his wile and chil- dren. The testator had two brothers, Catholic priests. According to the wording of a codicil to Schneider’s will it would seem that the family estate had been settled so that the portion of one of the priests went to the other heirsat hisdeath. The reading of the codicil regarding this matter is as fol- lows: *‘l give herewith the full address of my reverend brother: Father Hochrouerden Herrn Hubert Schneider, Pfarrer in Dunstel- kingen, Aberamt Heresheim, Wuertemberg. ly wife shall write to him and tell him that his brother dfed of stomach and kidney’s disease, and that he shall pray for me so that we meet both again in Heaven. „1 have one more brother left, whose name is Rev.

The shortest will on record ts that of Joseph Vicek, which was admitted to probate Oct. 15, 1889, The will without the date and sig- nature contains just fifteen words and reads: ‘‘Theéth day of July, 1889. I, Joseph Vicek, leave to my wife my property as it lays, as it stands, JOSEPH VLCEK.’’ November, 1886. The willis written in Bohemian and the above is aiiteral translation and also ap- pears of record. The longest will on record is that of the late Robert A. Barnes, who died recently, leaving the bulk of his estate, valued at $1,000,000, to found a medical college and hospital to be called the Barnes Hospital. The will contains fifty-five pages of legal cap closely written. There are six codicils tothe will. The will proper contains twen- ty-eight pages of legal ca p, and the codicus twenty-one pages, making forty-nine pages. There are six pages of e vidence, making uf. ty-flve pages of legal cap in all of record matter. 0 STRANGE EPISODES. Many peculiar incidents occur in the office of William E. Wagner, Clerk of the Probate Court, in people calling to see about having estates administered on. A Woman called one day ana wanted to have her husband’s will probated. She had the instrument with her. Mr. B. W. Mclivaine, who has charge of the receiving of wills, asked her when her husband died. „Oh, he has not died at all,’’ replied the woman. ‘Thea you can’t have the will probated,’ said the Clerk. wait tue Women sé ’°?

On another occasion an old lady approached Recording Clerk Arthur Stith, and also pre- sented a witi which, she stated, she wanted recorded. It was her son's will, she ex- plained.

RELIC OF ST. ANN. Archbishop Corrizan Consigns It to the Church of St. Jean Baptiste. Special Correspondence SUNDAY Posr-Dis raren. NEw YORK, July 23.~No more sacred place in all this wide land ts there nowin the eyes of Catholics than the ittle Ohurch of st. Jean Baptiste, on Seventy-sixth street, for its sanctuary has been formally decreed to be the final resting place of a relic of st. Ann.] As the mother of the Blessed Virgin st. Ann is venerated in the Catholic Church beyond any other saint in the Litany. This is why Father Tetreau, the pastor of St. Jean Bap- tiste, isso happy in the possession of the bit of the forearm of the saint which has just been deposited in his Church. The formal fixing of the place for the per- manent location of the relic was arranged at the residence of Archbishop Corrigan, It had been understood all along that Father Tetreau’s church would be the chosen place, But it was necessary to bring the matter be- fore Archbishop Corrigan In his official ca- pacity as spiritual ruler of the Archdiocese of New York. Mgr. Mereme, the bearer ofthe relic from Canada, M 8 Reilly. Father Tetreau, his assistant, rather Petit and Profs. Panneten and Papillion of St. shina eat Seminary, Three The Relic. Rivers, Canada, waitedon the Archbishop. They brought with them the relic, His Grace gladly decided to designate the Church of St. Jean Baptiste as the place where the relic should rest forever. The relic was then venerated by the Archbishop, and he was in formed that he was the firstin New York to thus honor St. Ann, Moved by a spirit of faith Catholics journey to the oo Land and kiss the path to Calvary over which the Savior carried his cross, Father Tetreau said yesterday that a faith no less earnest brightens the faces of the thou- sands who already are besinhing to come from far and near to be cured of their ills— physical ahd spiritual—by paying homage to the relic. On Sunday night was begun a novena, or nine days’ prayer. Untilthe end of the no- vena special prayers will be publicly offered to St. Ann morning, noon and evening in be- half of those who seek the saving powers the relic is believed to possess. If the little edifice were as large again the big crowd that came on Sunday evening could not be accommodated. When the sex- ton wentto open the church in the early morning he found an old man asleep on tire steps who had been unable to get in to ven- erate the relic the night before. He had come from Brooklyn, he said. He was poor and feeble, so he decided to wait onthe church steps untllits opening in the morn- in „ At 6 o’clock the call- Deli of St. Jean Bap- tiste began to toll for the first mass. There was little need of its tolling for the church bad been filled since dawn. Father Tetreau was the celebrant. of the mass. At its close the relic was removed from the repository in front of the altar of the Blessed Virgin. The immense congregation filed past the priest, each one reverently kneeling and kissing the silver casket in which the piece of bone is in- closed. When all had venerated Father Tetreau knelt before the relic and recited the Litany of St. Ann. The scene was one of holy im- pressiveness. With bowed heads the wor- shipers responded aloud to the petitions of the Litany. ‘‘Pray for us“ came in a grand swelling appeal - particularly at the reciting of these petitions. * Ann, part of salvation of those who are on the se St. Ann, path of travelers.

Judge Woerner has been on the probate MARS’ OPPOSITION, THE PLANET WILL SOON BE ONLY 35,000,- 000 MILES AWAY. Written for the SUNDAY Post-Dispatcnu. Probably the most important astronomical évent of 1892 is the opposition of the planet Mars, which takes place early in August. A planet is said to be in opposition when it is so situated in respect to the earth and sun as to be 180 deg. from the sun, rising at the exact moment of sunset. Oppositions of Mars are not rare; they occur, on an average, at intervais of twoyears and fifty days; but the approaching opposition is important from the fact that the planet is un- usually near the earth—much nearer in fact than it has been since 1877, and much nearer than it will be until1909, If the orbit of Mars were perfectly circular the planet at each opposition would be about 48,000,000 miles from the earth; but the orbit is so ec- centric that between the most favorable and least favorable oppositions there is a dif- ference of 28,000,000 miles. In the most favor- able circumstances Mars is but $4,000,000 miles from the earth, but when least favor- ably situated at opposition the distance 18 62, - 000,000 miles. When in opposition, next August, Mars will be within 35,000,000 miles of our own planet—a closer approach than it will make until the year 1909, when if will be somewhat nearer than on the occasion under discussion. Mars, then, next August will be 28,000, 000 miles nearer the earth than ifthe opposition took place under the most unfavorabie eir- cumstances. This means very much tothe astronomer. It signifies that the apparent diameter of the planet will be incrgased in the ratio of 34 to 62; this will enlarge his area, and the area ot every feature of his surface, in the proportion of about 8tol. Then, being 28,000,000 miles nearer the sun, the planet will be more brightly illuminated, and this increased brightness will enable the use of much higher telescopic power for the dis- cernment of minute details. Mars’ bright- ness how as compared with his brightness at the most unfavorable opposition, will be in the proportion of 16 to 11. . Combining these two elements—tincrease of area and increase of illumination—astrono- mers compute that next August Mars will be more favorably situated for observation than it might be in the ratio of 48 to ll, or more than 4 to 1. AS à consequence of this proximity Mars wilt present a gorgeous appearance to the naked eye. During the remaincer of this month and the greater part of August it will flame forth in the evening sky, soon after sunset, with a glow which no star then visi- ble can at all emulate. No doubt many ignorant or ill-informed persons may regard it as a new star, its ruddy light portending bloody things. Such was the case in the month of August, 1719, when Mars was but 3 degs. from its most favorable position with respect to the earth; it then Diazed forth so ominously as to alarm many. What interest will the astronomer have in this phenomenon? The favorable opposition of 1877 became memorable in the history of astronomy be- cause of Prof. Hall’s discovery of the moons of Mars. These have been seen many times in telescopes of comparatively moderate power, but they will ever be objects of ex- treme interest, and on this occasion they will be Scrutinized by allwho have glasses large enough to show them for the light which their abnormal size and rate of motion may throw upon the theory of the formation of the solar system, The coming opposition will bs utilized to verify or disprove the reports which sharp- eyed observers have lately made concerning the features of our next dvor neighbor planet. Marsis generally supposed to have many po'nts of resemblance to our own globe. The seasons on Mars are very like tho seasons on the earth. The spectroscope shows water on Mars. ‘here are continents there—and seas, islands, streams, peninsulas, capes, guifs, springs, clouds, inundations, rain, snow— quite as we have them here. At ieast this Is the conclusion to which those curi- ous ‘‘markings’’ on Mars have led as- tronomers. Some of these conclusions are, itis true, still within the region of ton- jecture, but star-gazers hope to obtain some more certain information on these points in August, First in interest, perhaps, are those wondrous ‘‘canals,’’ which some have thought to be the work ofthe inhabitants of Mars in their attempt to estabiilsh commun - catlon with the people ot our earth. In the great Lick telescope Mars will be magnified to a Size asif viewed by the naked eye at a distance of 17,500 miles. Astrono- mers are waiting with intense interest for the disclosures made by that penetrating tube. But information concerning Mars and his moons is not ali that the approaching oppo- sition is expected to yield. It will afford means of solving one of the most dificult questions that man has ever attacked. The measure of the sun’s distance has al- ways been considered the noblest problem in astronomy, for on this measure depends every measure in astromomy. beyond the moon; the dimension of the sun itself andthe distances and dimensions of every planet and satellite, and the distances of those stars whose parallaxes are approximately Known. ‘the noblest problem in astronomy, it is also one of the most dimcult, for in what- ever way the probiem is attacked it requires the utmost care and ingenuity, as well as the application of nearly allour knowledge of the antecedent facts of astronomy to give the smaller chance of an accurate result. Mars can testify to us of the sun’s distunce. Every one knows that objects near by are subject to apparent displacement compared with distant objects if the observer shifts his point of view, and this displacement is pro- portioned to the distance of the object ob- served, and the distance between the two points of view. This displacement is what astronomers Call paraliax. Now Mars, be- ing so near the earth, will be subject to a very large displacement (or parallax) and in order to determine this parallax it is only hecessary. to measure the displacement, which is done by measuring Mars’ apparent distance from any neighboring star as seen from points widely separated on the earth’s surface. There are several ways of working out this problem, but the simplest is this: A suitable station having been selected, the astronomer measures Mars’ apparent distance from a star inthe evening, and then some six or eight hours later makes another measure- ment of the distance from the same star, and knowing the distance which the observing station has traversed during the interim, it is an easy matter to figure out the distance of the planet. Mars’ distance being known, and his period also being known, Kepler's third law furnishes the sun’s distance bya simple proportion, Theoretically, thisis un exceedingly easy problem, but, as has been hinted, the dim. culties of observing, and of observing accu- rately, make it one of the most difficuit ever undertaken by astronomers. | In order to facilitate the work of the ob- server next August, the United States Naval Observatory has issued a circular giving an ‘‘observing list“ of stars which Mars will approach, from June 20 to Sept. 2%. This circular also gives some suggestions as to the methods of observing, — Baap suggestions to astronomer, Any other want can be Sled yaa — | venus transit will for more —— a reliance of astro ment of the sun’s dl ly) a better one is „Mars method difficulties are 1 ara SS and whose considerable very great liability to error would nated.

Galvin and Gleason Pounded by the _ Giants at Will—Von Der Ahe’s Men Cling Fast to the Bottom of the Lad- Ger-Kansas City’s Manager Lays Down His Load— Base Ball News. New Tonk, July 23.—There was lots of life about the game atthe Polo grounds yester- Gay, andthe best part of it was the Giants had most of it on their side. There was only one inning that Von dér_Ahe’s Browns really seemed to enjoy the game and that was in the sixth, when they made their only runs. The Giants, \how- ever, did not wait so long. They began just as soon as play was called. Old man Galvin first tried his luck in the box for st. Louis. It was evidently an off day for the ancient, for the Giants pounded out eight good hits and piled up five runs inthe first three innings. This was too much for Chris, go he called in little Bill Gleason, who had distinguished himself in the first by muffing Doyle’s fly. The change was a good one for just one round. In the fifth the Giants began again their slugging, and, coupled with a few errors and bases on balls, they tallied 5 more. Gleason tried to look happy, but his efforts were painful. After giving two players their bases on balls in the sixth, Christhought it time to change again and this time Caruthers went in the box. ,Bobby did well and no more runs went to ‘New York’s credit. Amos Rusie pitched fine ball and, excepting the sixth inning, had the Browns at his mer- cy. In this inning a little accident occurred which put Rusie out of humor, and the visit- ors promptly took advantage of it. Gleason was atthe bat. He don’t often hit far, but he whacks the ball pretty hard. He caught a swift, straight ball on the end of his stick and sent it like a streak of lightning at . Amos tried to dodge, but it was too uick and it — — through his fingers and 5 him just dver the right eye. It was very plucky for Rusie to keep on with his work, did. The Browns just here got in four hits and when the last man was out four of Chris’ players had crossed the plate. It was a well played game, and ifthe Giants Can only keep up their it they will be among the leaders soon. yle caught well and O’ Rourke batted at just the right time. Umpire Gaffney fined Brodie $5 for back talk. Manager Powers says the Giants will be all right behind the bat now. He signed yester- day J. H. McMahon, the crack catcher of the Kansas City team.

Kansas City, Mo., July 23.—President Speas of the Kansas City Blues decided this morning to disband the Blues, and they will be formally released on Monday. He arrived at this conclusion after due delibsration, and feeling that the Kansas City patrons of the game would not be satisfied with any more minor league ball, and that it would be better to disband the Western League Club and devote his energies to securing a representation in the National League. Referring to the possibilities for securing a National League franchise he said, that while he had no definite idea of its chances for admission to the major league, he was inclined to the opinion that some deal could be made for a membership by the purchase of theclub and franchise of some of the cities represented in the big cir- A and that were not doing well financially, and that if any reasonable opportunity was offered, Kansas City would be ready to take advantage of it. He did not think, however, that any deal could possibly be .made before Sept. 1, and in the meantime the local pat- rons would be given arest. BASE BALL GOSSIP. ; Mulvey is superstitious and did not want to begin playing ona Friday. ; Pitcher Abbey of Washington broke his nose July 11 by being hit by a foul. Second Baseman Eagan, formerly of the St. Louis Browns, is captaining the Albanys of the Eastern League. The Chicagos have lost more money by reason of rain than any club in the League. Anson has had more postponements than any other big league team. The East side bookmakers will cross bats withthe South Side bookmakers at South Side Park this afternoon for a purse of 3200. An exciting game may be expected. The two last defeats were the saddest of them all. Crooks’ men were beaten by the New Yorks, from whom it is no credit to win, buttowhomitis dreadfully humillating to lose. The New Yorks are called the babies of the League, and they hada soft snap in winning from the st. Louis club. What would the latter be called? AMATEUR GOSSIP. The Brotherhoods, the champion colored club of Kentucky, will cross bats with the West Ends. the local colored club, at Compton Avenue Park to-mor- row afternoon, The Sporting News and Buxton & Skinner's, the two crack amateur teams of the city, will play at South Side Park to-day at 3:30.

The Canadians Had to Work Hard for Their Victory—An Alleged Purse of $2,500 the Stakes—No Official Time Taken—The Wheel—General Sporting Events. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—A race be- tween Edward Hanlon and William O' con- nor and George Hosmer and Wallace Ross in double sculls was rowed this evening on the Potomac at a resort known as Riverview, located about twelve miles from this city. Hanlon and O’Connor won a close race. The race had been but little talked about and owing tothe disparity inthe strength of the teams, had not attractea much attention, About 2,000 people were present, however. The event was announced as a three-mile race with three turns, but the course had not been laid off with any degree ofaccuracy, and was not really more than two miles and a halt. Both teams appeared in good condition, and went away very fast, O Con- nor and Hanlon went to the front in the first quarter ofa mile, pulling thirty-two strokes: tothe minute. Ihey made the first turn two seconds ahead of the other two, and after that had things their own way. Ross and Hosmer by working hard managed to make the second turn on equal terms with the Cana- dians, but in the straightaway again fell back and Hanlon and O'Connor went around the third turn two lengths ahead. The race to the finish was close, but the Canadians crossed the line a length ahead. The time announced was 16:45, but as the referee and timers broke down about halfa mile from the finish no official time was taken. To-morrow Hanlan will oppose Ross ina single and Hosmer will row against O’Con- nor. To-day’s race was tor a purse an- nounced as $2,500. THE WHEEL. EXCURSION TO QUINCY—STATE ROAD CONVEN- TION—CYCLING CHAT. The steamboat excursion to Quincy is the principal topic of discussion in cycling circles, and preparations are already being made to have all of the city clubs better represented than ever before. At a meeting held last week Aug. 13 was definitely de- cided on as the date, and the arrangements were put in the hands of a committee con- sisting of A. C. Davis, M. J. Gilbert,’ A. W. Upmeyerand Robt. Holm. Hal Osborn writes from Quincy that the programme of entertainment will be as follows: 9 a. m. Reception of visitors at the wharf, followed by an 2 run through the city. Then a ride to Highiand Park, where a light lunch and refreshments will be served. A band willalso be in attendanceto furnish music. From this point the participants will ride to Baldwin Park, where dinner will be served. At 2 p. m. short runs to Canton, Pittsfield and other points are announced and those who do not wish to par- ticipate in them will be escorted through the Soldiers’ Home. Supper will bs served at the Tremont House at 5 p. m. so as to give all the articipants ample time to catch the 6 p. m. rain for nome. Quincy has good streets and is surrounded by a riding district, which in- cludes some 100 miles of good roads. On board the boatanda string band will furnish mu- sic. At Alton a delegation of cyclists from Roodhouse, Jerseyville and Litchfield will join the crowd and there will also be acces- sions received at Clarksville, Louisiana and Hannibal. STATE ROAD CONVENTION, Road improvement is one of the main ob- jects of the League of American Wheelmen, and on that account all the cyelists in the State are taking a lively interest in the State Road Convention, which will be held at Chil- licothe on Aug. 16, 17, 18 and 19. The L. A. W. has been invited to send delegates. and will be represented by Edgar S. Barnes of Mexico, and a party oftenortwelve from St. Louis. The convention promises to be the most im- portant one yet held in the State, and among the speakers will be Hon. Norman J. Colman, J. B. Potter of New York, editor of the L. A. magazine, Good Roads, Gov. Francis and J, M. Erwin of Fulton. A RECORD BROKEN, LONDON, July 23.—A twenty-four hours’ bicycling contest opened at Herne Hiil grounds at 8:05 lust night. At the conclusion of the fourteenth hour of the contest F. W. Shortland had ridden 248 miles and 160 yards, thus beating the record by one hour and filty- eight minutes. CYCLING CHAT. Slater, Mo., is to have a tournament during August. J. C. Hildebrand will act as guide on the Pastime run to-day. The Missouri Division, L. A. W., has pre- sented W. J. Gilbert with a fine piano lamp in appreciation of work done on the road boox. Ihe Pastimes racing contingent is fast re- ceiving additions. Among the old timers is Dick Hurck. Capt. Grath has also ordered a racing machine for his own use. Thirteen men participated in the run of the South Side Cycle Club to Collinsville Sunday. The flood has completely worked out the fine side path which existed along the Vandalia tracks and the wagon road had to De taken. It was very rough. O. L. Rule won the only one-mile handicap race at the Belleville Fair Grounds last Sun- day, starting from scratch. Wm. Wieke, 40 yards, was second—time 2m. 47s., Which breaks the record for that course. The mile race forthe championship of Belleville was won by L. J. Winckler. Night runs are getting to be very popular with the Pastimesand the attendance Is fast increasing. Bartold’s, Clayton and Busch’s Grove are among the places visited. The uniform question has now been set- tled by the South Sides and the cloth adopted isa light gray. Four applications for mem- bership are on file to be acted on at the August meeting, and Dr. J. H. Kennerly will be chosen as representative. A great deal of talk has been caused by the failure of the managers of the State meet to send. onto the wingers some of the prizes won. The delay was caused by the absence of Secretary Rowland, who will give the sub- ject prompt attention. : Jacksonville, III., is to give a two-days’ tournament on Oct. 3and 4, for which prizes valued at $3,500 are offered. Ihe Illinois circuit opens at Peoria on Sept. 27; Evans- ville, Ind., Sept. 30; Jacksonville, Oct. 3 and 4. Thence come the Quincy and Chicago tournaments. A kite-shaped track is being built at Syra- cuse, N. Y., by the Solony Athletic Club. It will be four laps to the mile, 15 feet wide, banked at turns, foundation of broken stone and top dressing of cinders. It will be the first kite-shaped bicycle track in the country. In connection with Zimmerman’s recent victories in England the interchangeable gear plays no inconsiderable part. The Leeds track was heavy from rain, and at one —— slightly up-grade. Reallzing this just fore the race started, Zimmerman was enabied to change the gear ina few minutes from 68 to 64, and it was this that largely aided him to win. Racing men have their pecularities. W. F. Murphy has never been Known to race with- out a quill toothpick in his mouth, nor Geo. K. Burretf without a quid of gum. Carl Hess, the German, invariably wears a bracelet about his t anda skull cap, which is nothing more than a hat lining. Str enuous efforts are being made by the ot. ficers of the L. A. W. to have the member- ship reach 800 by Oct. 1 in Missouri, and 1,000 phiets have been sent out to unattached heelmen. 2 is firmly established at St. Charles, and the city now has over thirty riders. A number of these under the leadership of Consul Delly will ride to Pattonville to- y toawaitthe coming of the South Side ase Club, whom they will escort into the ATHLETICS.

He Landed the Passaic Stakes Easily at Monmouth. | TENNY ALSO RAN, BUT BROUGHT UP THE REAR. The Best Days of the Little Swayback Are Over—Several Good Events To-Day at Monmouth Park-—Gloucester Results— Local Racing Matters— Tips From the Tracks. MONMOUTH PARK, July 23.—Tenny, the game little swayback who held sucha warm spot in the affections of the public only a few years ago, was a starter in the opening event at Monmouth Park to-day. The swaybacked coit was applauded when he left the paddock. It was plain to be seen, however, that Tenny was not the borse he had been. In the race he was last. He showed some of his old time speed, however, by leading for a half mile. First race, the Passaic Stakes, three-quar- ters of a mile, straight course—Kingston (Taral), won; Correction (Littlefield), sec- ond; Sir Matthew (Sloane), third, Time, 1:13. Post betting: Kingston, 2 to 5 and out; Correction, 8 and even; Sir Matthew, 20 and s to 2. Tenny showed the way for a half mile, with Correction and Kingston next. The latter then went to the front and won easily bya length and a half from Correc- tion, who beat Sir Matthew two lengths. Second race, the Sapling Stakes, three- quarters of a mile, straight course—Don Alonzo (Taral) won; Hammie (Lamley), sec- ond: Tom Watson (Hayward), third. Time, 1:18%. Post betting: Don Alonso, 8 to 5 and out; Hammie, 6and 7to5; Tom Watson, 7 and 8to5. Don Alonzoled from start to finish, and won under a double pull by four lengths from Hammie,who beat Tom Watson a head. Third race, the Stevens stakes, for 3-year- olds, of $100 each, with $2,500 added, of which $500 to second and $250 to the third, one mile and five furlongs; inner circular course—Mars (Littlefield) won; Kilkenny (Hamilton), sec- ond; Merry Monarch (Taral), third. Post betting: Mars, 7 tos and 1 to2; Kilkenny, 6 and 7to5; Merry Monarch, 8 tos and 1. Mars went tothe front at the flag fall and was never headed. Kilkenny ran his race of a few days ago all over again. He got up to Mars’ head in the stretch and apparently had him beaten. Mars, however, drew away gamely under punishment and won by a half a length from Kilkenny, who was six lengths in front of Merry Monarch. Time, 1:53. Fourth race, sweepstakes for 2-year-olds, five furlongs, straight course—Sweet Alice J. Lamley) won; Reginald (Lamley), second; xtra (Garrison), third. Time, 1:01. Sweet Alice jumped to the front at the start and wasnever headed, winning easily by three lengths from Reginald, who was a neck in front of Extra. Fifth race, free handicap sweepstakes, mile afd a sixteenth, circular course—Gioam- ing (W. Midgley) won; May Win (A. Coving ton), second; Equity (T. Sloan), third. Post betting: Gloaming, 4 and 3 tos; May Win, 8 ands; Equity, 20 and 8 Dagonet made the running into the stretch with May Win, Pb. tomac and Gloaming next. When well straightened out the latter came through and won easily by two lengtlis from May Win, 28 was a head in front of Potomac. Time, 475. Sixth race, sweepstakes, seven furlongs, straight course—Julio (Penn) won; Kirkoyer (Delehanty), second; Jay (J. Lamley), third. No time or betting given. EAST ST. LOUIS RACES. NOT A FAVORITE CAME IN—TWO 30 TO 1 SHOTS CAPTURE PRIZES. Not a favorite was successful at the course across the river yesterday. The crowd, which was composed principally of the asual Saturday afternoon regulars, who generally number in the neighborhood of 2,500, were severely shocked by the success of two 30 tol shots in the firsttworaces. The results of the third race and closing events were taken by poorly played 6 to 1 shots. The handicap was as usual the event of the afternoon. Buckhound, with Johnny Weber up, was the favorite, opening up at 3 to 5, but going tothe post ateven money. Toa good start, Catlin was first to show to the front, followed by Buckhound and San Saba. The last named at the quarter post took the lead, with Catlan second, a length before Buckhound. San Saba was never afterward headed. A prptty contest between silver King and Buck- ound ended at the wire with Buckhound a neck in front. San Saba won the race by five open lengths, covering the distance, seven- eighths of a mile, in 1:28, which is by a sec- ond the fastest time made for the distance at the course. The opening scramble was a one half-mile affair for two-year-olds that have not won two or more races this year. Out of a field of nine Marmaduke and Mildred were made equal first choices at 2 to 1. Mildred went to the first at the start and led the procession all the way around into the turn to the stretch, where Mary Houghey, a despised outsider, who closed at 30 to 1 won by two open lengths from Marmaduke. Meanenough, who closed at 2 to 1, was in- Stalled the first choice in the second race, which was a five-eighths scramble. Oro, the second choice, went to the front almost at the start and madethe running until the turn to the stretch was reached, when Phelan Dor- lan another despised outsider, who went Dogging at — — — 1 the knowing Silly dy winning eas b length from the favorite. 1 er 8 eit: Sea King was an odds on first. choice at 7 to 10, lor the third event, three-quarters of a mile dash. Alter a red hot scramble down the stretch, Ithaca defeated Little Phil by the shortest of heads. Sea King was about one-half a length behind the pair, This was the most exciting race of the day. The clos- ingevent was an owner’s bandicap which was decided over a five-eighths of a mile course. Grafton, who closed an odds on first choice at 4 to 5, pushed to the front at the start followed by Tramp and Mark S. In the stretch Tramp came forward and after a driving finish with Grafton and Mark S., won by anopenlength. Mark S. was about half that distance behind Grafton, The summaries follow: First race, for 2-year-olds that have not won two or more races this year, one-half a mlle— Mar Houghey 105 (Britton). 30 to 1. won; Marmaduke 108 Feta 2to 1, second; Hambrick 108 (Gor- man),8tol,third.

Out in the western fringe of St. Louis, where the scenery is prettiest, a late-m- the- afternoon ride on the cable or electric cars, past acre after acre of green grounds, and miles of shaded avenues and boulevards, seems to unwinda bewildering panorama of child-life before the gaze of the passengers. Idon’t know if many people appreciate this fatt, but I do because I am very easily interested in watching children at play. There isa genuineness in their methods of enjoying life which appealsto me far more keenly than do the elaborate and over-reach- ing efforts of grown-up people in that direc- tion. They seem to get nearer to nature, to have more in Common with the animal and vegetable life surrounding them, to see clearer into the summer skies above them, and altogether to take a much more compre- hensive and appreciative view of the beauty of the world than do their elders. Also, children in their holiday making are subject to more amusing and even dramatic reverses, Owing to the vividness with which they enter into every kind of pleasure. They cannot grow monotonous, because there does not live the prophet who can tell what the next minute may bring forth when a number | quarrel to the ocoupants of the street car seat.

Laughter and tears are with them so closely allied, humor and pathos are so likely to tread one u pon the other’s heels, juvenile comedy and tragedy are produced so often on the same boards, that the student of children is kept in astate of delightful uncertainty as to what may be next on the bills. For these reasons I never see a group of youngsters at play without becoming at once deeply interested, And, anyway, the memory of the pictures thus studied is a pleasant thing to bring into one’s own life. The other afternoon I came back from a sunset ride out into the West’’ with quite a number of additions to my studies of child- life. They were all snap shots taken from the seat of an open summercar; but nearly every one of them hada meaning, and also an unfinished tag“ for the imagination to work on, that made them very plegsant ma- terial for the idle thought of an idle sum- mer’s evening. One of my groups was a fishing picture, in which, as usual, all the features of a fishing picture were prominent, except fish. A little barelegged ‘‘tad’’ in a Masaniello cap was leader of this party. The Others, two tots of girls, with a smock-frocked boy in the mid- die, looked as though they might have ‘‘cut bait’’ for the leader, who handled the rod and line with great dignity. Over a little bridge that spanned about six feet of water they hung, the eyes of all save one ot the party bent with rapt eagerness upon a bril- liant red and white cork bobbing in the **simon’s pail’’ beneath. The distraite member was a tiny girl, who held a doll in her arms which she shook proudly at my street car as it passed in the Aistance. I wave. my hand in response, and vociierously wished the fishermen good luck.’’ The boy at the dry end of the fishing- tackle suddenly leaned far over the railing of the bridge, grasping the rod with both hands, evidently oblivious tothe world.

The Strange Story of a Wonderful Man- _ Eating Vegetable. - In the latter part ofthe year 1867, says E. Elisworth Carey, in the Honolulu Advertiser, I was commissioned by the Belgian Govern- ment to find a certain rare wandering plant that was believed to grow on the higher slopes of Mauna Kea, a large extinct volcano situ- ated on the northern part of Hawall. I had A station built on one of the wooded slopes of the mountain, far away from any other habitation. My only companion was a native who had lived all his life onthis part of the Island. About twice a month he would visit the seacoast to n needful su sfor our camp. 18 native, who said that his ancestors were pig chiefs,’’ whose bones lay secretly buried in caves on the mountain side, was very old, although he would climb canyons and scale lava . — with wonderful agility. one Durin passed by the mouth of a narrow canyon or Faces; and I asked Pili, the old native, if he had ever explored the same. Pill suddenly became interested in his pipe, and didn’t know anything about the gulch and did not understand what I said. This was rather strange in Pili, for natives generally know every rock and tree in the section where they live, andi knew Pl was lying when he said he did not understand me. So, naturally, I determined to examine into the mysterious ravine. Sometime after this, I was walking with Pili down a gentle slope. when Isaw a number of bones. Pill stopped. He walked back a few rodsand sat down ona stump. Not a word would he say. I began examining the bones and for two hours or more puzzied my brain over a problem as 1 had never done before. What I found was this: A cireular area of about 100 yards in diameter thickly covered with the bleached remains of birds, animals and human beings. These ghastly relics were scattered among the shrubs and grass. The larger bones were near the center; in fact, I found that the bones became gradually smalier as I ap- proached the periphery of this circular bone- A aig In the center of the circle was a well- ike opening in the ground, from which ema- nated a sickening odor. No vegetation grew within fifty feet of this cavity. How came this hole with its horrible stench? How came these bodies here? How came they to be arranged about the central opening? These questions continually presented them- selves, but they remained umanswerable. A deep mystery seemed to han over the spot. It was growing dark. Iheard Pili calling and hurrieq to him. He pointed in terror to the center of the bone-covered area. A shadow was thrown on the scene bya rising bank of clouds. But I declare that I saw rising from the pit a visible vapor, a column of visible fog or smoke or gas that was lumi- nous. Spellbound, I gazed at the spectral column. Near the ground it had the appear- ance ofa phosphorescent flame and gradual- ly became fainter as it ascended, Your imagination will have to picture the un- earthly phenomenon, Pili pulled at my arm and in silence we left the spot, and we did not loiter by the wayside. As I was looking for a simple plant and not bioed-curdiing manifestations, I was inclined to break camp and leave. But by morning my nerves were in better order, and I went back to the scene ofthe evening adventure. Icould find no clue to the mystery and the matter gradually went out of my mind as I prosecuted my labors. But had occasion after a time to visita spot near where I had seen the canyon about which Pill was so apparently tenorant. One evening I made known my intention to Rilito return to the place and explore the gorge. Wen?“ said Pill. In the morning,’’ I repiied. Without a word the old native arose from his mat onthe floor and departed. He was gone all night. He returned by sunrise, bear- ing on his shoulders a bundle. Wnen we reached the canyon he stopped and unpacked his load. Isaw a stone idol, curious in shape; he placed it on the ground, and then tooka small pig from his bundle. Vaktng a fire, he sprinkied something in the fames, muttered strange sounds and made symbols in the air with his fingers. The animal offering was placed before the idol.

Ihad gone about a mile, when over the tops of tree ferns Isawa Wwaviig mass of sea green foliage undulating in the wind, The object looked like a huge bunch of thick-leaved seaweed, and the pe- cullar motionof the same arrested my atten- tion. I was overthree hundred feet away from the curious object, and hurried to ob- tain a closer view. A wallof fern-covered lava about ten feet high stopped my course, Climbing up so that I just could see over the edge, I saw an object such as the eyes of civ- liized man never before beheld. Imagine a bunch of seaweed about twelve feet high; the edge of each piece Uned with fine streamers which radiated in dil directions and tram- bied like fine wire spiralis; the whole object moving ike the fringes of a sea anemone. I was wearinga heavy feit hat with a wide brim, and I pushed it back from my forehead to get a better view, As I moved my arm the strange object ceased quivering, and every vibrating antenna or streamer pointed di- rectly at me. Just then my foot slipped from a jutting rock on which I was standing and I fell, but not before something cleaved the air witha horrible hissing noise and struck on my hatcrown. I felt the force of a biow as I fell. and knew no more for atime. I regained consciousness after a short time, and lay in a partial stupor.

In 1881 he was promoted to the position of chief clerk of the Passenger De- partment ofthe Vandalia company, and in 1886 accepted a similar position with the Missourl Pacific Ratiroad. In 1888, he was promoted tothe position he held at the time he was called to the head of the Western Passenger Association. The Western Passenger Association was formed about six years ago by the consolida- tion of several associations of a similar Burns D. Caldwell. nature.

The presidency of the 4 t was tendered Mr. McGrew in 1890, when the order was yet in its infancy and without a fixed purpose in view. He spared neither time nor money to bring the association — 2 equal footing with other similar organiza- tions. Success crowned his effortsto such an extent that he was re-elected to serve a second term at the annual meeting held at Littie Rock, in 1891. Renewing his work and manifesting interest in the success of the order, at the meeting just held at Richmond, Va., he was unani- mously elected for the third time. Mr. McGrew was born tn Lexington, Mo., in 1852, and after attending a public school for several years he graduated at Washington University. Being infatuated with the life of a commercial tourist he secured a position with George D. Barnard & * and Was assigned an insignificant territory. By paying attention strictly to business, his worth soon became recognized by the house and he was given one of the largest territories inthe State. One promo- tion followed another until he worked his way up to the top of the ladder and to-day is one of the directors of the establishment that he started in with sixteen years aso merely asanapprentice.

M., Royal Arch Masons, and St. Aldemar Commandery No, 18, Knights Templar. Mr. McGrew is now on his vacation and is spend- ing two weeks at Old Point Comfort, Va. The association originated by the meeting of a number of commercial tourists at Lima, O., on Feb. 12, 188%. It Was one of those days, charac- teristic of season of the year, when the subject of an organization among commercial travelers came up for dis- cussion, After the matter had been discussed to some extent, it was determined to perfect ah organization to be known asthe ‘*'lravel- ing Men's Club.“ Temporary officers were elected and various committees were ap- | poſuted with the request to report at a meet- ing that would be called at an early date, me the 24th day of June the first annual 1 J meeting was held at Bellefontaine, O., a con- stitution and by-laws adopted and a per- manent organization effecied. The associa- tion won popular favor from the start, and the name was changed to that of the Trav- elers’ Protective Association,’’ and its action | has resulted in the establishment of Denefits and protection to members in various ways. It has grown from a-weakly organiza- tion to one of the most influential in its way in the United states. THYODORE F. GALOSKOWSKY.

Mr. Wtebusch was born in Osnabeneck, Germany, fifty- four years agoand came to this country at the age of 7years. When quite young he en- gaged in the printing business on Lombard street in this city. Later he removed to No. 631 South Fourth street, where he now Is. Mr. Wiebusch was among the rst to or- ganize a German Y. M. C. A. in St. Louls, and was the first president of the South Side Ger- man Branch Y. M. C. A., the position which he still occupies. He is well Known in church circles, and is an elderof St. Paul’s Evan- gelical Church, THEY ARE ONE, Jesse B. Strider and J D. Hall Supposed to. Be the Same Person. There is a strong probability that the mystery surrounding the alieged death of one J. D. Hall, who was reported as killed by arunaway accident near Forsyth Junc- tion willbe soon unravelled. It was given outthat Hall was a member of the real estate firm of strider & Hall. No such firm was known to be in existence in the city, but from recent develcpments it 18 believed that a gentleman calling himself Jesse B. Strider and J. D. Hall are one and the same individual. Strider secured employment some days ago with the St. Louis Loan & Investment Co., through an introduction of Dr. Samuel 8. Porter. He left his work and disappeared without notifying the company. About the same time a Mr. Jesse B. Strider appeared at Beck’s feed store at Howard station, purchased some feed to be delivered toa Mrs. Sterrettsand gave in payment a worthless check on the Citizens’ Savings Bank. Mr. Beck after a long search came up with Mr. Strider and threatened prosecution unless the check was made good. Strider paid him S on account and promised to pay the balance. Dr. Porter called at the officetof the Loan & Investment Co. and was surprised to find that Strider had left them, as the young man was indebted to him. On top of all this came the announcement that J. D. Hall of the real estate firm of Strider & Hall, was accidentally killed. It is supposed that it was Mr. Jesse Strider who gave this information to the press for ex- actly what not yet man named railroad conductor, dly terms with Strider, but no such accident happened to him, as he is allve and well, and was nowhere near For- sythe when the alleged runaway occurred. It is concluded, then, from Strider's past transactions, that he has been playing a dual role,and that other matters will come to light which will fully establish his identity.

Me.—His Coming Contest With Myer. New York, July 23.—Here is the story of one day’s happenings at Canoe Place Inn, that quaint old hostelry in the Shinnecock Hillis, where the Ajax of pugilism, John Lawrence Sullivan of Boston, is training for his com- ing encounter with James J. Corbett of Cal- ifornia. **Hello in there, its 5:30and high time you were ready to go out on the road, came in a tone of authority from a man who stood rapping at a bed-room door on the first door of Uncle Ned’’ Mumby’s inn. Aye, aye, Casey, I'n be with you in a ‘minute, just as soon as I get this sweater on. The speaker was inside the room and his voice was very gruff. A few minutes later a big, broad-shouldered, bronzed-faced man, wearing blue worsted knickerbockers, heavy biack stockings, a sweater and a lawn tennis cap strode through the ballway, down the stairs and out upon the plazza. He gazed through the trees at shinnecock Bay, re- marked that the water looked wet, stretched himself, andthen sat down ona rustic bench and; ordered a small glass of warm tea witha lkKtie lemon in it. AS FRESH AS A DAISY. It's a fine morning, John, cried a welf- built young man with pleasant features and a mighty bright eye, who soon joined the big man and also ordered some tea and lemon. Soon two other men came out on the plazza; one was tall and looked like an athlete. He was Philip Casey, the champion hand- ball player of the world, who is training John L. Sullivan. Walking over to where the big man sat, Casey slapped him on the shoulder and exclaimed: “Why, John, you look as fresh as a daisy this morning!’’ Well, there's nothing very strange about that, is there?’’ inquired the man addressed as John. ‘‘I’d like to know the time when John L. Sullivan didn’t look as fresh as a daisy.’ gut he may not beso ‘fresh’ after we get through with him this morning,’’ said Billy Morgan, the wiry-looking little fellow who stood by Casey’s side. May not, eh? Well, if I don't make you wish you were back in Brookiyn playing hand-ball, then I miss my guess. The well-built young man with pleasant features looked glum. Each of the four had drank. OFF FOR A TRAMP IN THE SAND. After a small cup of weak tea they started off, Sullivan in the lead, for an early morning ramble overthe sandy roads which radiate through the Shinnecock country. There are not many birds out there, but occasionally a dark-feathered songster would fly past the walkers and chirrup afew notes at them. Sullivan always leads the procession. He seemed bent on making the other fellows earn their salaries, and frequently chuckfea to himself as he thought of How Asnton would teei after the journey. But Ashton plodded along as cheerfully as if there was nothing on his mind. They walked for six miles over the Shinnecock Hills, here and there passing bits of scenery, but having, for the most part, only the long stretch of sand and underbrush to look at. It’s pretty bard to walk when at every step you sink down almostto the tops of your boots in sand, but these four didn’t appear to mind ita bit. In fact, they rather enjoyed the exercise. THIS MADE HIM GLOW. They began to retrace their steps after reaching a point very near Southampton. The other Doarders in the hotel had just fin- ished breakfast and were taking their ease on the piazzas, when they saw John L. and his companions tearing down the road as if some wlid animal was after them. Sullivan was blowing like a porpoise; but who can wonder at that? Any man would be more or less winded after waiking eleven miles through that-kind of a country and running a mile at the finish. The athletes repaired to a big barn back of the inn, which has been fitted up as a gym- nasium since Sullivan went there. The big man’s heavy cluthes were quickly laid aside and he was rubbed briskly for a few moments with Turkish towels. Then he sat undera shower-bath and for a minute or two salt water trickled down his back and chest. He liked that immensely and said he wished the Government would move Peconic Bay a mile or so south so that he could jump into it every morning and take a swim after his walk. Another rub-down followed the shower-bath. Then dry flannels and other clothing were brought in by, John's Japanese valet, and the champion of champions an- nounced that he was ready for breakfast. Inafew minutes he was seated with his men in a very comfortable private dining- room, Which Uncle Ned’’ Mumby fitted up for him, with an inviting meal of broiled blue fish, porterhouse steak and ury bread before him. His appetite was good and he washed down his breakfast witha glass of iced tea and lemon. A GOOD DEAL OF A MAN. Then the champion strode out to the piazza and proceeded to open a bundle of letters which his valet respectfully handed to him. Sullivan’s mall is extensive. lie gets letters from allover the world from people who want all sorts of things. A good many are anxious to add his autograph to their collections, others solicit his advice, but a majority of letters are of what John Calis a touching“ nature. Old men, young men and many women, into whose ages it would not be gal- lant to inquire, write to him for aid. Some have patients which they wish to develop, Occasionally young men write to know if he will loan them $500 or more so that they may ‘‘acquire a college education. Once ina while, for variety’s sake, the big fellow gets an offer of marriage by mail. He answers very few letters. If he tried to reply to all of them he would have to abandon his training or employ a stenographer. ALL HIS OLD-TIME STRENGTH AND SPEED. It was nearly noon when Casey suggested that a little gymnasium work was in order, ts they repaired to the barn, and, while Jack Ashton adjusted the punching ball, Sullivan got into his gymnasium costume. ‘This con- sisted of a suit of winter flannels, heavy worsted stockings, black tights and rubber- oled shoes. The sieeves of the shirt were cut off just below the shoulder soas to give his arm 1 of swing. **¥You’d better be careful, John, or you’ ll smash the ball and the ceiling, too, said Casey, asa blow from John’s terrible right gent the leather sphere against the boards overhead.

He crossed the room and picked up his n Skipping a rope is a fa - te pastime of his, and it may de truth- fully said that fora big man he jumps very gracefully. After about half a minute at the rope John's ponderous chest began to heave, and ashe continued his breath came faster and faster, buthe kept up the work, until Ash- ton, who had been counting the jumps, announced that John had skipped 251 times. 30 THE LITTLE BARBER *‘CHINNED’’ TO HIM, Another rub down, more clean clothes and the party again entered the hotel. John hunted up the little barber, who comes over from Southampton two or three times a week, and was soon being shaved. Then the barber cut the champion’s hair. Sullivan feltas gay and chipper as a scnool boy, apparently, for he was humming popular airs and carrying on a lively conversation about things with the barber. Sullivan is never annoyed by talkative barbers, in fact he encourages them. ‘ „% Free spe@ch and tariff reform’ is my motto, said he. There's no law in the land nor no reason on earth why a barber should be denied the riguts of every Ameri- can citizen. Some people don’t like to have Darbers chinning to them, but I do,, They can chin to me as much as they want. It wasn't long before John broke Into a song. He sang it with all his lungs, and every body in the vicinity wondered what was the matter, Sullivan’s voice is cortainly re- markable. Unfortunately it lacks cultiva- tion. still, he likes to sing, aud if people around the place don’t like to hear him they are privileged to get out of range. 4 IT’S SAFE FOR HIM TO SING cox RAD ES. His favorite songs are ‘‘Annie Rooney,’’ **Mollie, O, Comrades, The Wearing of the Green and Nu Boyhood’s Happy Days Down on the Farm. The barber had nearly finished trimming John’s raven-black hair when the wan in the chair broke out with the chorus of ‘‘Down on the Farm.’’ He never knew the songthoroughly, so he ex- temporizes to suit himself. He sang the song after this fashion, and everybody knew he was around: When a boy I used to dwell In a home! knew s0 well, Where the sweet potatoes grew just like a charm, And as the days rol! I only hope that 1 Will see my dear old home again down on the farm. He had just finished when a harsh voice from upstairs exciaimed: „What's all the trouble down there?“ Casey looked up atthe front of the house andsaw Charley Johnson peering through a mosquito net. ‘*Why, it’s John singing, that’s ali, said Casey. „Oh, that’s all, is it?’’ retorted Johnson. I thought somebody was putting in a ton of coal. I wish you’d ask Sullivan, ifhe wants to sing, if he won't oblige me by going out in the woods back of the house. But Sullivan went on singing, and he dida great deal better with ‘‘Annie Rooney and **Oomrades.’’ FROLICING IN TAE BAY. „I I couldn’t make a better dive than that I wouldn’t dive at all, exclaimed Sullivan, as Ashton reappeared on the surface of the water in the channel of the canal which is to connect Shinnecock and Peconic Bays. The party had gone there fora dip after a hard morning’s work. Ashton is a first-rate swim- mer anda good diver, but the dive he made that time wasn’t particularly graceful. „Well, let's see you dive, he sung out. There was a tremendous ‘‘kerplunk,’’ as the water seemed torise above the marks on the piers, asthe massive form of the distin- guished pugilist-actor-author disappeared. As he came up he looked contemptuously at Ashton. That's the way to dive,“ he yelled’ ‘‘I’m surprised that you haven’t learned that long 0. 41 wouldn't be guilty of diving the way you did.“ was the retort; ‘‘you fell in like a load of wood.’’ The others jumped into the water and they allswam out intothe bay. John hadn’t been in more than ten minutes when a school of moss bunkers came within ten feet of them. „Well, by Sove, John, said Asliton, “you are certainly a great drawing card. Look around there. Even the fish are curious to get a peep at the champion of the world.“ **Well, there's certainly no harm in letting the fish have a look at me, is there?“ Joun responded. LUCKILY FOR THEM THEY WERE NOT THERE. The party remained inthe water for fully half an hour, and Sullivan seemed to enjoy the swim more than anyone. He plunged about and shook himself like a bir Newfound- land dog. He was the last man out, and he ciimbed over the rocks from the beach to the pier with the agility of a kitten. As he stood on the string piece. rubbing his massive chest witha big Turkish towel, something called to his mind his disastrous Australian trip and the indignities which he suffered at the hands ofthe Meuahon Brothers, the the- atrical managers who were responsible for his journey to the antipodes. Oh, I wish I had that trio here, he cried, the three of them wouldn't make a good man, and I'd just take em all in one hand and give them a mighty good ducking in Peconic Bay. I would have got even with them in Australia but they threatened to summons meandIdidn’t want to be sum- moneda. I'd fix them if I had them here though,’’ and he grunted. Then John proceeded to sing a song about Van Dieman’s Land, and the whole party jumped into a boat which had been brought down for them, and were rowed back throuxh the canal to the roadway leading to the hotel. Dinner was announced almost immediately after their arrival at the inn, and to a very inviting meal the athietes did full justice. A LION AMONG THF SUMMER VISITORS. Canoe Plane Inn Is eighty-two miles from New York, butitis within easy reach of a number of swell summer resorts, and the New Yorkers who are spending the season in that part of the island appear to consider a visit to John L. Sullivan at his training quarters arecular part of their daily pro- gramme. They come in sailboats and all sorts of vehicles, and nota few ofthem walk for three or four miles. When he had finished dinner John found a c rowdof at least fifty on the piazza waitin to have a look at him. There werea — many elaerly men and women but a major- ity of his callers were gayly dressed summer girls and young men in vari-colored flannel suits. It wasn't long before John sent fora baseball aud bat. Ashton and Morgan walked down the road a way and John stood near tue massive wooden image of Hercules, which stands at the base of the flagpole, directly opposite the inn, The Jap stood be- hind the vat to catch the ball when Jobn happened to miss it. Then the champion batted tliners, flies and fouls to the in- tense anfusement of the folks in the grand stand and the evident displeasure of Ashton, who had@to chase the ball. SULLIVAN’S NEW PLAY. After a half hour of that kind of sport Sul- livan went to his room and read and re-read his partin the play which he will produce alter the fight with Corbett. The ay is called The Man From Boston, or Capt. John L. Harcourt.’’ It was written for Sullivan by Edward E. Price, the criminal lawyer, who used to be a pugilist. Although Sullivan is too modest to tell it, he collaborated with Lawyer Price. and many of the lines are the champion’sown. Sullivan explains tuat he did noi call the play The Man From Boston, or Capt. John Sullivan,’’ because people would think he was getting egotistical. That is not so. Seated with the manuscript in his hand, Sullivan drew an outline of the play for a Sunday Post-DIsPaTcH reporter. Th lay’s going to makea big hit,“ he I'm the hero, Capt. John L. Har- court.

Now, if there’s one thing John L, Sullivan cannot do it is to poker. But he feels awfully hurt if anybody hap- penstosay so. He has hisown i s of the game, and he plays according toa set of rules which were given bim years ago by a man who lost his fortuneat the game. Hts rules are all right, though, John says. The fact that the man lost his money doesn’t cut any rticular figure, according to Sullivan’s dea. Here are some of the rules: on’t let anybody biuff you out. b All in the draw.

They may not be if ancther man holds them, but Sullivan reasons that noone can beat him, John L, Sullivan, with a hand like that. If he wishes to play poker and the other men in the party object Sullivan will give them all money to play with. He doesn’t care a rap about money. All he wants is to amuse himself. Sullivan never knew the value of money and probably never will. He is unsuspicious as a child where money is concerned and probably has been cheated out of thousands of dollars. And he is unsus- picious because he is the soulof honor in financial matters. Once he borrowed some money from **Billy’’ Sexton, the Dilliard player. Sul- livan was broke“ for two years afterwards, but whenever he saw Sexton, he said: Don't get worried, Billy, I haven't forgot ton. Sullivan 1 Sexton one day by aiving his hand such a vise-like shake that he nearly broke all his knuckles. Sexton did not speak to him for a long time. After his fight with Kilrain, Sullivan walked into Sexton’s billlard- room and put out his hand. I'm blessed if Ishake hands with you,“ said Sexton. Oh, I won't hurt you this time, Billy,’’ laughed the big fellow, and seizing sexton’s hand he left in it just twice tne amount he had borrowed two years before. FAST GETTING INTO FINEST SHAPE. „Bring my book of records here, and bring it in a hurry,’’ exclaimed Sullivan as he opened his.door and shouted down the hall to his valet. Inajiffy the Japanese was by his em ployer’s side, carryingasmail memoran- dum book. The champion of the world sat on the side of his bed ciad only in a long linen nightrobe. A tape measure lay beside him. Now. then. was the next order, read me off what you have ju the book. The Jap obeyed.

BaNnGor, July 23.—No athlete ever selected quite such a romantic spot for training quarters as that where Jack McAuliffe is busily engaged in his preliminary work for his match with Billy Myer at New Orleans Sept, 5. Five miles from Bangor, on the banks ofthe Penobscot River, is the pretty village of Hampdon Corner, and a few minutes’ drive on a side street brings one to the summit of a long and steep hill. Almost at its very feet isa little cottage hidden by a mass of shrubbery, which over- looks a pretty stream of water. The stream rejoices in the euphonious title of Sawadabs- cook, and this isolated white house, a few feet from its edge, has been McAuliffe’s abode for six weeks. Two reasons brought me here, said the light-weight champion this week. ‘‘One is that I wanted to increase my strength atthe same time that I removed my superfluous flesh by a good country life, and the other is that this old place is, in my estimation, the best on earth. In ali my travels it is the only place I ever struck where I was perfectly con- tented to remain.’’ With McAuliffe are Matt Crowe of Brooklyn and James Nelson of New York. The latter accompanies Jack on all his walks and spars with him regularly, but upon Crowe falls the real work of tue training. There is lese se- verity in the daily routine than might be ex- pected or is usual. The cool and invigor:- ating air is conducive to sound sleep, and the three men are not early risers. McAuliffe be- gins his day with a plunge in the clear, cold stream, which is followed by a hard rub down and vigorous exercise. Breakfast comes a little later. Poultry and chops are the principal staples consumed. McAuliffe is not yet on a strict diet, but the country products are working wonders for him. His forenoons are quiet, representing very littie work. Really, about all I do here mornings,’’ said McAuliffe, in reply to a question, ‘‘is to chase ducks.’’ Be careful and have it explained,’’ inter. rupted Crowe, that this farm and stream abound in ducks, for the boys might infer tuat you meant a kind of ‘chasing the duck’ that is famous, but outside the limits of this temperance State.’’ ‘they have rather a light luncheon at the Mc Auliffe training table, for not very much later, and really in the neat of the day, the lightweight champion and his attendants don heavy sweaters, and, swinging short walking sticks, start on a five-mile tramp over the hilly road to Bangor. Beginning at an ordinary gait, they gradu- ally increase their pace until when they reach the office of McAuliffe’s most intimate friend, F. O. McGuire, in this city, they are on the run, with Jack’s clothing saturated with perspiration. He is 8 water more freely now than he will later. He frequently loses more unds in one of these tramps, which is an ndication of his condition. It is his own idea to sit and rest iu a private room, care- fully guarded from draughts, an hour after eacti one of these spins. * Then hs goes down the street to the Bangor Athletic (lub, where the free use of the house has been tendered him, and strips aud hasarubdown and oc- casionally a shower bath, Here he remains for a couple of hours, 8 of the time.

The Trades and Labor Union has approved the appointment of a committee to push the enforcement of legislation intended to ameliorate the condition of the workingmen, and to put on record the officials who neglect or refuse to enforce such legislation, so that working people may know what to do when any of these officers come before the public for their votes. This action was taken at the request of the brass-workers, who want their factories ventilated as the law prescribes. The Carpenters’ Council of the Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners have ap- pointed a committee to try and get union work on the new City Hall, and the Trades and Labor Union have appointeda commit- tee to co-operate with the carpenters’ com- mittee for that end. Herr Kunzenknabe, International Secretary of the Federated Brewery Employes, has left to look after troubles inthe local union at Chicago. This afternoon delegates from the several labor unions will meet at labor headquafters, 418 South Fourth street, to make arrange ments for a suitable reception to Samuel Gompers, President of the American Feger - ation of Labor, who is expected in town dur- ing the week, ‘ Charles J. Finnegan will represent the Theatrical Brotherhood at the National Con- vention in New York, where an international convention will be formed. Joseph Demsky is alternate. Betts’ cigar factory has been unionized. The following new unions have sent dele- gates tothe Trades and Labor Union: Inter- national Boot and Shee Workers, Composi- tion Roofers, Horse-shoers, Laundry Work- ers’ Union, and Journeymen Barbers’ Inter- national Union. About fifty unions now belong to this labor congress. The net results ofthe May Day demonstra- tion were 1590. 88-3175 of which, by agree- ment, goes to the Arbeiter Verbund, and the balance to the Trades and Labor Union. THE St. Louls & Suburban road has put on several additional cars of extra length. These are extremely popular owing to the smoothness with which they run at a high rate of speed. Anything cooler or more lux- urlous than a ride out to Normandy or Ra- mona with the thermometer below 80 in the car all the way, can hardly be imagined on a hot and sultry day. MORE MAIL CARRIERS. Increase of Mail Leads to Better Service— Sub-Stations to Be Established. On account of the heavy increase of mails in the city of St. Louls eight in- dividual carriers will be added to the force Aug. 1, At the request of Postmaster Harlow ten additional substations will be established for the ac- commodation of the public. In referring to the establishment of additional stations and the extra carriers that will be put into ser- vice, Maj. Harlow saidlastnight: ‘*This is something that I have been advocating for some time past, as the service has been badly in need of extra heipin various departments for quite awhile. While I have never been able as yet to establish the street car postal service that was agitated here some time back, I consider that I am somewhat for- tunate in being able to furnish these additional accommodations for the benefit of the public.“ The sub-stations will all be located in drug stores, but have not been selected as yet, where register let- ters as well as money orders will be received. The routes of the carriers have not been marked out as yet, but three of them will be on routes west of Grand avenue. Gov. Francis in Town. Gov. D. R.

IT WILL been accomplished during the present ses sion of Congress, is to be the subject ot a political debate inthe House before an ad- journment is reached, Ex-Speaker Reed and his well-equipped parliamentary associate, Julius Ceesar Burrows of Michigan, are hav- ing prepared a statement showing jn detail all the legislation that has been enacted in the present Congress, with a view to draw- | ing a comparison with the results obtained during the Billion Dollar Congress. Sev- eral clerks are specially engaged in the prep- aration of this statement, and as soon as it ig completed Mr. Reid will seek a favorable opportunity to fire it off with some of his characteristic comments to furnish material for the coming campaign. The Democrats received a tip“ as to what is proposed by the Republican leaders and Representative McMillan of Ten- nessee, and Judge Holman and several more of his associates at once set to work to pre- pare for the coming ‘‘windstorm,’’ Mr. McMillan says that the Democratic House has carried out all of its pledges made to the people and the obstruction to desira- ble legislation has come from the Republi- cans. The Democrats in the House he says promptly passed measures to relleve the people from extortionate taxation upon clothing, cotton bagging, cotton ties, tin plate and other material generally consumed by the common people, but the Republicans in the Senate would not even consider these measures, Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee have filibustered on almost every measure proposing relief for the people that has been considered during the pressent session. Whenever they discov- ered that a sufficient number of the Demo- cratic members of the committee were ab- sent on days of meeting the Republicans ab- sented themselves 80 as to pre- vent a quorum, The Republicans not only filibustered in committee but they have filibustered in the House against certain tariff measures thus forcing the Democrats to passthem under a suspen- sion of the rules. They also filibustered against the bill providing for the forfeiture of unearned land grants and the proposition to change the constitution so as to permit the election of United States Senators by the people. Mr. McMillin adds: *‘In addition to oppos- ing almost every bill introduced with a view to benefiting the people generally and relieving them oftheir existing burdens of taxation they have steadtiy voted to increase the ‘expenditures of the government in every dtrection Every proposition that has deen suggested looking to an increased expenditure of the public money has received the enthusiastic support of the Republicans, their aim evi- dently being to swell the general appropria- tions to an equality with the outrageous and universally condemned extravagance ofthe ‘*Billion-Dollar Congress.

It was to stop unrighteous and unjust enact- ments that the people arose in their might last drove the Ro- publicans power in the House. the present system it was not possible for the Democrats to capture the Senate, but the people demanded that they should be piaced on guard in the House to prevent the passage of force bills and robber tax measures. Mr. McMillin proposes to give to the coun- try a statement to goside by side with that which Mr. Reed is preparing with such pro- found secrecy andcare. The branch of the National Republican Committee that has been in existence here since last fall is moving its quarters to-day and will be- come a part of the Congressional Committee organization hereafter under the supervision of Edward McPherson, the secretary of the Congressional Committee. The Democrats have not yet opened their headquarters, but will do so soon. The two committee organ- izations are sending out an immense amount of literature now, but for the most part it is a revision of the literature of the last con- gressional campaign. The Republican com- mittee is circulating a great deal of original matter prepared outside of Congress, while on the Democratic side a deal of matter is being sent out by individuals without the sanction of the managers of the committee, Tom Johnson has circulated about 1,000,000 copies of his reprint of Henry George's book which is liable to create the impression in many quariers that the single tax theory ts being advocated by that party as one ofthe issues of the campaign. He contemplates the circulation of 2,000,000 in all. Mr. Aldrich’s speech on the tariff which he expects to deliver on Monday will be the lead - ing document of the campaign on the Republican side and the dem- ocratic features will be the tariff speeches which have been delivered in the House this session, chief among them that of Mr. Montgomery on the wool bill, and a speech to be delivered reviewing the work of the Congress. In addition to these, Mr. Hol- man will make a speech in which he wii) undertake to show that while this Congress has not been the model of economy he desired it to be, it isthe fault of the last Congress that it has not been, and he will claim that the record is very fair, though he confesses that no great point can be made on it. SHIRAS’ NOMINATION, PROBABILITY THAT IT WILL NOT BE cor. FIRMED. WASHINGTON, July 23.—There is contrarlety of opinion among Democrats as to the proba- bility of defeating or postponing the name of Mr. Shiras. Senator Cameron’s missionary work, it is said, has caused some of the Dem- ocrats,and especially the members ofthe Committee on Judiciary, to believe that by delaying confirmation of Mr. Shiras until after the election in November, a possibility opens upto secure a Democratic member for the Supreme Court, in the event that Mr. Cleveland shoulda be elected. In this belief it is said that the opposition to Mr, Shiras’ con- firmation is growing until to-day it was said by one Democrat that the. probabilities were it would be successful. On the other hand, however, it was pointed out by a Democrat who was asked about the matter, that even were Mr. Cleveland elected in November that would not vent Prest- dent Harrison from renominating Mr. Shiras when Congress reassembl and nothing could then, in atl probability, defeat his con- frmation. So that the net result of the delay to-day would be to deprive the Supreme Court of the services of an | Justice for some two or th the next fall term.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—The passage by the Senate yesterday of the Canadian re- taliation bill without the formality of a vote and with no consideration of the measure was surprising and unexpected. It was late in the day when Senator Davis of Minnesota called up the bill, which passed the House a few days ago and with the mere statement that he asked consideration of the bill at the the urgent request ofthe Committee on For- eign Relations, the measure was unanimously passed. By the terms of the bill the President is given power to impose tolls upon Canadian freight and passenwuers passing through the Sault Ste, Marie (anal and even to prohibit the use of the canal to them. Tolls upon freight are to be $2 per ton and on passengers not above $% a head. Although there was no debate, it is known the subject has been thoroughly considered in executive session. Ihe expedition was dus to a direct intimation from the President that he desired immediate action. For some time past secret agents of Canada have been here endeavoring to arrange an amicable settlement but their propositions were not acceptable, hence the intimation to the Foreign Committee, upon which the Sen- ate acted yesterday. The House Committee on the World’s Co- lumbian Exposition to-day voted to report with a favorabie recommendation the bill of Representative Post, providing for the es- tablishment ofa national committee. This is the bill whose passage was urged by mem- bers ofthe League of American Wheelmen and is in the interest of good roads. A member of the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee says he thinks Shiras will be con- firmed as Justice of the Supreme Court. The committee took no action to-day. ADJOURNMENT TALK, ONE WEEK FROM NEXT MONDAY THE PROBABLE DATE. WASHINGTON, July 28.—Inquiry about the Capitol to-day on the subject of the adjourn- ment of Congress developed a concensus of opinion that it would be fixed for Aug. 1, one week from next Monday. As stated yester- day, it is not believed that the anti-option Dill will be strong enough to keep the members here after the last appropriation bill shall have been disposed of, but another possible source of delay was suggested to-day by Sen- ator Turple. He says that if Senator Aldrich makes his speech, based on the report re- cently made by the Finance Committee upon the subject of retail prices and wages which has been announced for Monday, he expects a tariff debate to be thereby precipitated which will continue for some days, long after the first of August. But sofaras known he is alone in this position. To-day’s development of the progress of the conferees onthe general deficiency and sundry civilappropriation Dills are to the ef- fect that a conclusion will be reached on both of them so that reports may be made by Monday, so that a week may De spent in dis- cussing the World’s Fair bill and other dis- 22 points, and still adjournment be possi- le the succeeding Monday. CONGRESSIONAL, BILL AGAIN’ LAID ox SHELF. WASHINGTON, July 23.—The anti-option bill occupied the Senate again all day, diversified only by abrief financial discussion over a proposed legal tender amendment to an im- portant bill relating to judgments of United States Courts. Mr. Morgan (Dem.) of Alabama in the morning hour introduced a bill providing that the Government should take possession ofthe Central and Union Pacific railroads Until their indebtedness to the Government is discharged, the roadsin the meantime to be managed by a board of fifteen directors at $10,000a year each and expenses, five to be appoin a ten by the Preside to the THE ANTI-OPTION THE 1 J J ‘duced. a bill authorizing the McNichols.” of things which the Senator from Alabama (Mr. Morgan) wished to bring about, and that was that silver alone should be the standard of value which would certainly happenif the United States should failto maintain silverup to the standard of gold. And ff a debtor could come, in violation of ex- ress agreement, and pay a 81, one-third ess than he agreed to pay. this was a ques- tion which should only be brought before the Senate by thereport of a committee after thoroughly discussing it. It should not be sprung by a mere amendment backed into a Senta * like this to which no one had ob- ected, Mr. Palmer, on the contrary, defended it as removing an anomaly in the law which allowed judgments to be given payable in gold and did not allow judgments payable in cattle and corn if the contracts were for the delivery of so much cattle or corn. ‘ihe dis- cussion was protracted, desire in the House-furnishing line you can get Mr. Turple was addressing the Senate in de- fense of the Teller amendment when the hour of2 o’clock arrived. The anti-option bill wes then laid before the senate, but was laid aside temporarily to allow Mr. Turpie to conclude his arzument. The discussion af the Teller amendment for the payment of all judgments of United States courts in legal tender money ,although the contracts might have stipulated for pay- ment in gold—was continued up to 2229 o’clock, when the bill and amendment went over without action—the bill going. back to the calendar. The anti-option Dili was then taken up and Mr. Hausbiough addressed the Senate in favor of it. The committee on Indian affairs was ac- corded the floor for an hour and the following Dill was passed: For the rellef of the eastern band of Cherokee Indians and to ratify an agreement between the Puyalup Indians and the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. A resolution was passed calling on the Pres- ident for information regarding the trans- portation of imported merchandise in bond or duty from one portion of the United States over Canadian territory into another portion of the United States. The House then at 4:15 adjourned until Monday. ' CAPITAL NOTES. In the House to-day the French spollation Claims in the deficiency bill were taken up. They amount to $737,78. Mr. Compton of Maryland, Mr. Oates and Mr. Fellows of New York advocated the claims, while Mr. Turner of Georgia, Mr. itp of Missouri and others opposed them.

HYPOTHETICALLY THE STORY OF THE GIRL’S LIFE AND CRIME ARE TOLD. How She Avowed a Passion She Did Not Feel for Ashley Roselle, That She Might Learn If He Was Her Rival for the Affections of Freda Ward—The Prisoner and Her Victim Gave Their Notion of the Qualities of a Model Husband and an Ideal Wife. Mempuis, Tenn., July 23.—Examining the love letters of a young girl has been the occu- pation of psychological experts, a judge and a jury in this city for the past week. It is an inquiry into the mental responsi- bility of Alice Mitchell, who killed Freda Ward, the object of her affections, last January. The facts in the case were, as required by law, treated as the suppositions of a hypo- thetical case, but they were nevertheless the chapters in the story of the life and crime of Alice Mitchell, who heard it, though without a shade of emotion. HER HISTORY. This isthe story: Her mother had suffered trom serious mental disturbance at the birth of each of six children, necessitating her in- carceration at one time. Mrs. Mitchell’s fam- ily included several persons who had gone insane. The child wes whimsical, masculine in all her sports and lIikings and averse to any girlish plays or occupations. She had no intimates or child sweethearts among the boys, and when approaching womanhood, after she was grown, she had no beaux and took no pleasure in the society of young men. She was sometimes rude,and always indiffer- ent to young men. She was regarded as mentally wrong by young men toward whom she had thus acted. For Fred Ward, a girl about her own age, she had an extraordinary fondness. When- ever she could do so she was with her. They lived neighbors and spent as much of their time together as possible. The attachment seemed to be mutual, but was far stronger in Alice Mitchell than in Fred. They ere very different in disposition. Fred wd girl-like and took no pleasure in boyi sports that Alice delightedin. Her instincts and amusements were feminine. She was tender and affectionate. Time strengthened the intimacy between them. They became lovers in the sense of that re- lation between persons of different sexes. May,a year ago, the Ward family moved from Memphis to Golddust, a small town on the Tennessee side of the Mississippi River, about eighty miles north of Memphis. The separation greatly distressed Alice, but an active correspondence by mail was at once opened, and in this way they modified the re- gret caused by the separation. In the sum- mer after the removal of the Wards Alice visited her beloved Fred and remained with her two or three weeks. They were continu- ally together and often seen embracing and clasped in each other’s arms. Alice gota promise that Fred should visit her inthe fall or winter, and this promise was kept, Fred spending about two weeks with Alice in December, 1890. During this visit Alice entertained the idea of taking herown life orthatof Fred. She bought laudanum with that view. She con- siderea the plan ot giving it to Fred whilst sleeping, but in some way Fred was aroused and suspected that Alice had some design, either on her own life or that of Fred, and remained awake the greater part of the night. Alice showed her the bottle marked poison. Thenext day she went with Fred to the boaton her way hometo Golddust, car- rying the bottle of Audanum with her. She locked herself and Fred ina state-room on the boat and took the contents of the bottle with suicidal intent. She suffered greatiy for many days for this rash act. The reason as- signed by Alice was that Fred loved Harry Bilger and Ashley Roselle and she meant to end her existence and troubies and leave Fred free to become the wife of her choice of the young men named, She cautioned Fred if she wrote to her again as to what she might write, as she had no doubt she would be dead before it came to hand. During this visit Alice manifested the most ardent attachment for Fred, and some days after Fred reached home she wrote Fred of her recovery, and then began again a regular correspondence, showing all the warmth of lover for lover. In February, 1891, Alice proposed marriage, She repeated the offer in three separate let- ters. To each Fred replied, agreeing to be- come her wife. Alice wrote her upon the third promise that she would hold her tothe engagement, and that she would kill her if she broke the promise. Alice again visited Fred in June, 1891. She had saved from time to time small sums of money, amounting in the aggregate to about $15. With this sum she purchased a ring, and on her June visit formally tendered it to Fred as their engagement ring, and Fred ac- cepted it as such. They were often seen in each other’s em- braces, and the married sister of Fred, Mrs. Volkmar, remarked that they were disgust- ing in their demonstrations of love for each other. On leaving Alice got a pledge that Fred would pay her a visit in the coming Novem- ber. Thelr engagement was a secret then only known to themselves. It was agreed that Alice should be known as Alvin J. Ward, so that Fred could still call her by the pet name, Allie, and Fred was to be known es Mrs. A. J. Ward. The particu- lars of formal marriage and elopement were agreed upon. Alice was to put on man’s ap- parel, and have her hair trimmed by a barber like a man; was to get the license to marry, and Fred was to procure the Rev. Dr. Patter- son of Memphis, and of whose church she was a member, to perform the marriage ceremony. and if he declined, they intended to get a justice of the peace tg marry them. The ceremony performed, they intended to leave for St. Louis. Alice was to continue to wear man’s apparel, and meant to try and have a mustache, if it would please Fred. She was going out to work for Fred in men’s clothes. In the latter part of June, 1891, Ashley Ro- selle, before mentioned, began to pay court to Fred, who gave him one of her photo- graphs. The watchful vigilance of Alice got track of this affair, and she remonstrated warmly with Fred, and charged her with de- ception and infidelity. Fred acknowledged she had done wrong, vowed unshaken fidei- ity to Alice, and promised never more to of- fend. Mrs. Volkmar discovered the plan to elope and wrote to Alice and also to her family, ex- to visit Memphis, according to her > Feit * „ : R ’ ** * 7 4 ae * 8 ae r + te „ ee 2 8 N xe 5 er 7 promise to Alice. On the ist of November, Alice. clandestinely possessed herself of her father’s razor. She pretended affection which she never felt fora man, in writing to Ashley Roselle, whom she suspected loved Alice. In Jan- uary, 92, Freda Ward visited Memphis, but was kept away from Alice, to whom, how- ever, she wrote. Alice learned that she was to leave on the isth, and in company with another girl, Lillie Johnson, an intimate friend, she drove to the wharf, where she met the girland fatally cut her, cutting Joe Ward, the dead girl’s sister, also, when she attempted to resist. After tue murder she ran home, and to this day does not seem to realize the enormity of her act. This is the story ot her acts, but the view which the alienists have sought of that pe- culiarly clonded intelligence is given them through the letters now produced forthe firsttime to establish her insanity in order thatshe may be excused from punishment for her act. The cypher code used by the girls, and Alice Mitchell. which appears all through their correspond- ence, is merely a transposition of the letters of the alphabet, thus: N 4 B 0 ..D E bk .G 3 * 0 „ ** F * L M..

I have only written the one letter to him since I stopped writing that time you told me to. 1 will always be careful, love. about getting my feet wet for your sake, but Ihave been careless all the time about it, and Iknow that is why 1 always suffer so much.

Idon’t mean to do Ashley any harm, but if you still make me—— and deceive mo I will. I hate to do it, but you will be the cause of it. He has done nothing to me, but Iam mad with jeal- ousy. I am writing to-night, for I may go over to Lill’s to-morrow evening. I can’t write much for itis late. After this I will write only when I get a letter from my Sing. Sweet one, you have done me mean, but I love you still with ail your faults. I wish we were married, Ashley Roselle. but it will be best for us to wait until next winter, unless you say no. We can get off all right then, and take all the clothes or anything else we want. I won't write any more to-night, but will try to write more some time to-morrow. Ilove you, Llove you.

Water was standingintherard. I wish my little sweet- heart was living there now, Then I would have some one to kiss. Ltheught of how you loved me when you lived there, Sing, I don't do a thing but have the blues alithe time. I am always thinking of youandcrying. You don't know how I hated to you on that day. I knew you would that as soon as I left, and I was thinking about it the whole time you were on the When we were in the pilot-house I put my wanted his arm around you. I know you were dis- appointed because he was not onthe boat. I knew as soon as I heard what you told Lill that you didn’t care for me, and you were deceiving me. If you don’tlove me you needn’t, but I will love you for- ever. I worship you, Love. I hope you will be true to me after this, but it is no use, as long as you think of Ashley and Harry so much. If you love me as you say you do you would deceive them in- stead of me. I Will try not to fuss at you any more, love. unless you say something about that untill see you. Do you remember what I said 17 would doifyou would deceive me? That's what I was coming for, sweetone, honest; but Lill begged love you, Fred, and hate to doit. Be true to will you, love? I had the nerve to price the pistols. They only had one size, and that was too big. That was ali that kept me from getting it: They were $12. Then I went for Lill, and if it hadn’t beenior her I would have tried every place in Henry, that worked for Tanner’s works, in Kufferschmidt’s gun store. I went Thursday, and was coming. I didn’t know what 1 was doing. Fred, if you only knew how I love you! Please try to stop loving them before you marry me, love. Nothing could make me happier than to have you love no one but me. If you loved me one- third as much as 1 love you 1 would feel better. Iam 80 j——.

To this collection the editor of the Sunday Times has given to the court officers two let- ters which were received and published, and which it has since been ascertained were written by Alice Mitehell and Freda Ward, Alice Mitchell, signing herself J. A. W., describes her ideal ofa wife ina letter which appeared Nov. 27, 1891. THE KIND OF A WIFE FOR ALICE. To the Editor of the Sunday Times: I will give my idea of a model wife. She must never deceive, must know how to keep house if cook should happen to leave; must be neatand always willing tosew a button on my coat. When I come home from work I donot want to see her witha frown or a dirty dress, but she must meet me with a smile or kiss. I must be het firstlove. She must be willing to do anything 1 say. She must be jealous. If a certain little brown-eyed girl on the bank of the Mississippi River, about 100 miles from here, keeps her promise, you will soon see a model husband and a model wile. J. A. W In the Sunday Times of Feb. 15., 1891, ap- pears a literary effort from the pen of Freda Ward, in which she describes her idea of a model husband, in these words: FREDA’SIDEA OF BLISs. Editor of Sunday Times: Help me to find my model husband, 1 would like him to be of good physique and not too homely. He must be neat, but not much of a dude. Must always have a pleasant expression on his face, but not ¢arry a 10 cent grin with him. I prefer a smooth face, but if he is real anxious to have a little mus- tache he may haveit. He should not have too many faults. Must be firm, yet gentle and obliging, but not too yielding. May have a little temper. Must not spend his nights af the club or lodge nor in bad company, but be anxious to come straight home from work, and not stand on the street cor- ners criticising people 8% they pass. He must neither smoke, drink, chew, gamble, tell falsehoods nor deceive, but be tender, kind, true, industrious, honest, polite, generous, good natured, brave, graceful, manly, dignified, but lively. He must be to me after marriage the same as before. Must have a heart as true as steel,. and love me as much after we are married several years as he loved me the day 1 promised to be his forever. He must not ilove me for my birth, nor my lands.so broad and fair, he must love me for my own true worth until death us do part. Must be willing to give up everything for me, and willing to risk anything with me, and doas much for me as he expects me to do for him, and also for- give my faults as he expects me to forgive his. Pro- vide for me a comfortable honte, which I would always try to make as pleasant as possible for him. Must be man enough to rule his house, but must let me have my way occasionally. Must remember he married me because he loved me, and must treat me as his best and sruest friend and companion and not as a mere slave, ready, and willing to come at his beck and call.

R. The developments of Friday when Mr, and Mrs. Volkmar and d Ward, the two sisters | > Ts me and brother-in-law of the murdered girl were | called to the stand changed the aspect of the case and robbed the charitably inclined of the last claim of innocent affection. The Volkmars established the fact that Alice flirted with men whenever the opportunity offered, and that the claim that she had a dislike for all men was not well founded. On the witness stand Jo Ward was forced to present a letter written to Freda Ward by Alice Mitchell full of disgusting sug- gestions and unfit for print, though it found its way into the columns of both the St. Louis morning papers of yesterday. Sinceits pro- } duction sentiment as to the explanation of this peculiar attachment has changed very considerably. EXPERT TESTIMORY. Alice Mitchell was as composed as usual when she took the defendant’s chair this morning. ; Miss Joe Ward continued her testimony this morning and said Alice Mitchell told her she loved Harry. Roselle, and did not care what people said about it, she loved him all the same. Alice was vice-president of the Social Hours Club, an organization composed of young ladies and gentlemen and regular- ly attended the meetings at different residences. She seemed to be as much inter- ested in young men as were the girls. At this point attorneys engaged ina lengthy discus- sion on the State attempting to make a par- allel of the case with that of Guiteau, the slayer of Garfield, and many law books were produced and read, but nothing was decided by the court, the matter being passed over, The present Charles and Mrs. Mendenger testified that they were members of the same Presbyterian church as the Mitchell family and they al- ways noticed something strange in Alice Mitchell’s manner when in church. She was unlike her sisters and was cold and distant and difficult of approach. Dr. F. Sim of Memphis, medical expert on nervous diseases, was examined at great length. He stated that shortly after the tragedy he had made an examination of the mental condition of the prisoner at the jail and he regarded her as in- sane, her insanity being of a kind of delusion from which recovery is rare. He could not say that she was insane just at the present time, as he had not seen her since he made the examination referred to, Dr. Sim was still on the stand at the hour of recess of court, undergoing a searching cross-examination at the hands of Attorney General Peters on the subject of insanity in all its variaus phases and especially as to perverted sexual instinct with which the present case is so mysteriously involved, 1% A B.

A Denial of the Report That the Fair 18 Bankrupt. Cuicaco, III., July 23.—Some ignorant org malicious person started the report that the World’s Fair is bankrupt; that it had drawn its last cent and used its last postage stamp. And this false report has been published in hundreds and probably thousands of news- papers. It is still spreading, and naturally is doing the Fairharm. The fact is that the Exposition has now $2,500,000 cash in bank and about a million more in sight. It has not had, for any time fora year anda half, less than a million dollars to its credit in cash, and has had as mach as $8,000,000 at one time. During the last six months the money has necessarily been,expended rapidly for con- structing the great Exposition buildings. About three-quarters of a million a month has been paid out for this purpose. A like expenditure will be necessary for several months to come, and more money will be needed by October. The bulk of the receipts of the Fair from admissions, etc., will not begin to come in, of course, until the Fair opens. It is in order to tide the enterprise over until that time that the Government has been asked to advance ~ $5,000, The most conservative estimate of the tures places the excess of the latte slightest fear of the Fair beſug bankrupt, or even of its becoming! up’’ if the Gov- ernment gives the aid which has been asked and which is confidently expected. The Fair is not bankrupt and will not be bankrupt. The only foundation for the in- urious report referred to is the fact that the ‘ational Commission, or supervising body, has expended all of the money which the Government appropriated for its expenses for the current year. That body does not provide the money for constructing the buildings, gathering the exhibits or other- wise putting the Fair in complete condition for the inspection of the public. This is done by the World's Columbian Exposition,’’ or local Chicago corporation. The Fair will be dedicated and opened on time, and all bills will be paid. Following the recent discussion in English journals of the relative merits of English and American locomotives, it is suggested that during the World’s Fair a contest be had to settle the question. Itis proposed that two or more crack English locomotives, with En-, lish crews, make the run from New York to Chicago over one of the main railroad lines, and that the same number ot the best loco- motives of American manufacture do the same, and that the results be compared.

His Father Chose Him, the Sixth Son, to Succeed to the Sovereignty of the Veys and the Solows, but His Unole Be- trayed Him— He Will Fight for His Rights—What He Will Do as King. Boston, July 23.—Among the students of Williams College, at Williamstown, Mass., there is a Prince, whois now in Boston. He He is only an African Prince, it is true, but his royal descent is fully established, and he is the legitimate heir to a crown which car- ries with it a considerable revenue and abso- lute power over two provinces, with about 100, 000 peaple. The name of this prince is Thomas E. Bese- low. The surname is that of a long line of royal ancestors who have for centuries ruled with despptic power over the tribes inhabit- ing a part of the valley of the Niger on the West African Coast; the Christian name was given to the Prince by Rev. Louis R. Roberts, a missionary, who lived and died while en- gaged in mission work in Africa. Prince Besolow is a full blooded African. His height is 5 feet 10 inches, and he pos- sesses a robust physique. The expression is one of pleasing intelligence. The forehead is broad, of medium height, and the hair black and closely curled, with curly moustache. The skin is of mahogany color, fresh and clear. Prince Besolow is spending a short vaca- tion from College in Boston just now for the benefit of his health. He occasionally runs down to New Tork. He was asked to give some account of his life and to explain his royal lineage and claims to the throne of the African provinces referred to. was born in Bendoo,on Fisherman's Lake, said the Prince, and my father at the time was King of the Vey people and the Solows, comprising the inhabitants of the provinces of thosenames. The Queen, my mother, was a daughter of the Golah people, who inhabit the district directly north of us. The Vey people ara supposed to have sprung from an ancestry of very powerful and war- like people. Ihe Hysemby, or high lodge, is the governing power, under the King. No one can be a member of this tribunal unless he be of royal descent. There are from 100 to 150 members Gf the Hysemby. When a member of that court finds himself, through att ee, or otherwise, physically prevented from per- forming his duties, the medicine man de- crees that he is in agony, and generously re- lieves him of his sufferings and his office at the same time by cutting his throat. The death sentence is carried out secretly. There is no exception to this barbarous rule after the medicine man has decided that the pa- tient is incurable. The palace occupied by my royal parent g was, at the time of my birth; in the center of the town of Beadoo. It Was a large structure built of brick and wood. Foreign traders, from England and elsewhere, frequently pre- sented the King with gifts of various articles of silver, costly rugs, curtains, pictures and bric-a-bra¢, which were used in ornamenting the throne room of the palace. The King had a great retinue of servants—slaves captured by his armjes while fighting with other Afri- can tribes, »The King’s personal household include about two hundred and fifty wives, the chief among whom (my mother) being the head woman, whose oldest child usually succeeds tothe crown. It is, however, not uncommon for the King to select as his royal successor any other of his sons whom he may decide to be better qualified for the position than was the eldestson. This was the case with me, I being the youngest son of a family of six. In our eountry, when a boy is about 10 years old, he issenttothe Devilbush—or, as the native men Callit, the Lowsemby—to be trained for life. The Lowsemby is an African training-school, conducted under the direc- tion of some old chief and having the patron- age of the King. In this school the boy re- mains a couple of years, and is instructed to become proficient in the use of the sword, the bow and arrow and other warlike imple- ments. His body undergoes the most severe training, including wrestling, boxing, foot races, etc., for which prizes are awarded. Some pupils pay special attention to things that will help them intheir particular work in life—such as those, for instance, who are to become elephant-hunters, tiger-hunters and warriors. These devote a large part of theirtime to the handling of such weapons as are used directly in their occupations. „Students of high birth and wealth are also instructed inthe Vey hieroglyphics, the alphabet of the provincial dialect. The na- tives invented these characters,and it speaks well for their natural intelligence, The lan- guage is smooth and somewhat musical in its tone. There are no local publications, but I am preparing a book on the race character- istics, to be published in the native language, — may lead to a higher education of the »The girls’ training school is also called the Devibush. The pupils are admitted at the age of 9 or 10 and remain there two or three years with vocations. ‘They are in- structed by old, experienced women, who are paid by the State. They are taught use- ful knowledge, and there is a special course of Instruction in midwifery. Aside from this the entire course of the girls’ education, or curriculum, is kept a profound secret. When they return home they are eligible for mar- riage, and are wedded about the age of 15. When a suitor for their hand is accepted one of the conditions is that he shall pay all the expense of the bride’s education. They bring no dowry to their husbands. Polygamy is openly practised and the num- ber of wives a man man take is only limited by his ability to maintain them. Those who can only support one wife are limited to that number but some have as many as two or three hundred. This latter luxury can only be indulged in by men of large wealth who possess large estates and stocks of ivory, gold dust, palm oll and other marketable commodities which can be readily disposed of to foreign traders, ‘*I might illustrate the cost of an African bride by relating my own experience since I have been in this country. I wanted a you African woman of high birth asa teacher in the proposed Bendoo University to be built t Queen Taredobah Saadimandec, an asked her what it would Cost me to procure sucha young woman asI wanted. She replied that in order to get the girl of that class it would cost me anywhere from $500 to $600. This is about the price of an African girl for a wife, the money or its equivalent being paid to the girl’s parents. 9 | As to the barbarous customs of the tribes I represent, I may Lam told as a fact, thougn I don’t true from my personal knowledge, that ree armies appear on the tun r march toward a town weakly aefended, the Medicine Man tells the mothers to f Phe Gods of e e by" e 0 Oft War a | tir 4 resuitant cala 4 towns have deen saved by of human life, the invading armies going in an- other direction. have known.

The electric light companies have been in- creasing their power and getting in readiness every appliance necessary for furnishing all the light desired; sothat, barring accidents, the people of St. Louis, so accustomed to these fall displays, will be treated toa gen- uine surprise in the new features of the com- ing mumination. THE SANTA MARIA. Visitors coming up from the Union Depot east and west side of the statue are columns running to the same height as the fags and surmounted each with the American eagle, standing on three large giobes and wings spread ready for flight. The columns are also gorgeously iJuminated from top to bottom with variegated globes. THE NEW WORLD. At Twelfth and St. Charles streets will be the most intricate aud interesting design of all.

GERMAN ART. — — — * WORKS OF MODERN GERMAN MASTERS — TO BE AT THE EXPOSITION. For the first time in their history German art and German painters will be represented at the art department of the Exposition on a large and distinctive scale, The management has invited those artists to exhibit here, and thus give still wider scope and greater importance to an ex- ‘aed: For the National Gallery of Berlin he r*‘Emperor Charlies v. in the House of the — has painted an historical canvas of renown, Fugger, the merchant princes of Augsburg, who lent their money to the kings of the middle ages, and received them in their homes elcome guests, Emu Rau is a Dresianne, young and vigor- ous and in the heyday of his activity.

With every year space inthe St. Louis art department of the annual exposition is more widely sought by French and German artists, and it is a question to-day whether St. Louls is not a very formidable rival of New York, The canvases which will be shown here are inevery instance nearly the best types of German genre painting, and many of their authors are represented inthe principal national galleries of the continent. There is not one artist, perhaps, with whose works the public is more familiar than Gabriel Max through the many reproductions which almost immediately have followed the completion of each of his canvases. They grace the walls of humble and patrician homes, and confirm the popularity of the painter. Yet it is safe to say that but few St. Loulsans atd Westerners have seen an orig- inal painting of Max. The Exposition is fortunate indeed in securing two splendid canvases of this prolific artist, his ‘‘Eliza- beth’’ (a scene from ‘‘Tannhbaeuser’’), 28x36 in size, and ‘‘A Vision,’’ one of those ideal forms of maidenhood, tinged with the ecstatic and supernatural, which the painter loves to portray. Gabriel Max was born at Prague in 1840, and from early youth was trained to becomea painter by his father, who was an ardent patron of art. He was a pupil of the great Piloty, with whose Wise and Foolish Vir- gins’’ St. Louis people are familiar. While studying at that famous school he fell in with Makart, by whom his future tendencies were much influenced, Gabriel Max's Healing the Sick Child,’’ or „Christ Raising the Daughter of Jairus From Death,’’ under which title it is also Known, has been acquired by the National Gallery of Berlin. It is a work In which the genia artist has embodied all the delicate feeling and intensity of meaning visible in all his com positions. Hans Makart, another of Plioty’s brilliant pupils, achieved his fame early in life. Hts Catharina Cornaro’’ inthe Berlin National gallery made him great, ere he himself was aware of it. The ‘*‘Makart’’ of the exposi- tion will be his ‘*Venus and Tannhaeuser,’’a subject which has been treated by other Ger- man artists besides Makart, tempted, no doubt, by the magnificence with which Wag- ner endowed this superb scene in his great opera. ‘*Venus and Tanhaeuser’’ is a large canvas, full of fire, life and color, and will be one ofthe chief attractions of the com- ing exhibit. sturdy fledeling, on a quiet Sunday after- noon, will please the visiiors of the Exposi- tion more, perhaps, than grander compos!i- tion of greater artists, which lack that ele- artist world, Frederick A.

The Boston Traveler says that Prof, Truman Henry Safford of Williams College is one of the most remarkable lightning calculators now living. A gentleman who had heard of his power, and wished to test it, once said to him: 1 have a little problem for you, Prof, Safford. I was born Aug. 16, 1852, at 3 in the after- noon. This is June 20, 1883, and itis just 2 o’clock. Now can you tell me my age in sec- onds?’’ Prof. Safford frowned, bent his head, and began to walk rapidly up and down, twisting his mustache, and clasping and unclasping his hands in his hervous way. After a moment or so he returned the an- swer, which was somewhere in the billions. The gentleman produced a paper containing the problem worked out, and said, witha superior smile, Well, Professor, I'll give you credit for great genius, but you're sev- eral thousand out.’’ The Professor stretched out his hand for the paper, and running over the calculation, said, contemptuously: ‘‘Humph! You’ve left out the leap- years. . And further investigation showed that he was right.

Diez’ ‘Tired Out, a small but much admired picture, will introduee the artist to St. Louis. Casper Ritter of Carisruhe delights his friends with his pretty scenes of Holland life and Dutch simplicity, beautifully portrayed in his The Knitter,’’a charming canvas snatching a moment from the day ofa young Holland peasant girl, as she hesitates be- tween play and work, surrenders the yarn to the kitten’s playful paws and watches its cunning anties. The Knitter’’ is one of this master’s best pictures and has been admitted to several international exhibitions. H. Lossow’s ‘‘Young mother’’ will have many friends. It reproduces one of those scenes which appeal to human affections as nothing else ever will. The baby, crooning in the Basinette of the Roccoco, the happy smiling mother in the pretty costume of that period against the rich back-ground of the follage, make an ensemble in which, if its ar. tistic merits could not engage the admiration of the looker-on the tender wistfulness of its theme would hold him spell- bound. M. Wunsch portrays the Alpine peasantry with strong veracity. His peasant Giri’’ and Hunter's Lad,’’ which are pendants, are splendid specimens of his art. They will be here in the fall, : Cordigniani’s ‘‘Carlotta’’ and Linderum’s **Monasterial Tailor’’ will also be com prised in this notable gathering of German works of art. If ever a painter’s hand has been endusd with the powerto give to the most daring creatures of his imagination, the tender, gruesome and grotesque characters of myth and fable. a realistic and lifelike form, Arnold Boecklin is that man. Tritons and nymphs, classical gods and saints of the church, genii, d emons and Bible personages are the subject in which he revels and hag become great. Boeeklin ig strong and master- ful, sensuous at times, but always wonde rrully realistic.

Case refused to go and Wiltshire beat alm soundly and sent him away. He then ied the missionery to his house, and after tearing up the false ficate of the marriage which hda been given to Uma he had the missionary marry them according to the rites of the Church,and then he pre to teil the missionary bis story over the dinger table. The missionary then told the story of Muna, a native paster. who has been frightened by Case with tales of the yy and ot ersuaded Wasa and the others to believe that ndernill. a former rival of ase, was possessed of the evil-eye, and one day when he was siek they took him out and buried him alive. When the missionary went away Wiit- shire went into the island to hunt and met a native in a eertaln portion of the island, who pointed out to hime territory dangerous to en- ter, because devils lived there. Wiltshire returned home and questioned Uma, and then he learned the secret of Case's power. A certain part of he island Case had taken ssion of and when any of the natives went there they saw grinning specters which frightened them away. Tales were told of devils who transfo:med themselves into beautiful women te jure victims te the caves and then destroyed them, and se pretended to have an allianee with these devils. Wiltshire concluded that to break Cases power it was necessary to destroy this superstition, amd he resolved against Uma’s wish and advice te pay a night visit to the uncanny spot. Well, this kind of talk put in the evening, which was the best of it; but, of course, it didn’t change my notion, and the next day, with my gun and a good knife, I set of upon a voyage of discovery, Imadeas near as I could for the place where 1 had seen Case come out, for if un was true he had some kind of establishment inthe bush I reckoned Ishould and a path. The beginning of the desert was marked off by a wall, to call it so, for it was more of a long mound of stones. They say it regches right across the : island, but how they Know it is an- other question, for I doubt if any | them) and clerks in the old country. It’s my belief a superstition grows up in a place like the different kind of weeds, and as I stood there and listened to that wailing I twittered in my shoes, You may call me a coward to be frightened ; I thought myself brave enough to go on ahead. But I went mighty carefully, with my gun cocked, spying all about me like a hunter, fully expecting to see a hand- some young woman sitting somewhere ) in the bush, and fully determined gt 1 dia) to try her with a charge of duckshot. And sure enough I had not gone far when I met with a queer thing. The wind came on the top of the wood ina strong puff, the leaves in front of me burst open, and I saw for a second something hanging in a tree. It was gone in a wilfk, | the puff blowing by and the leaves closing. I tell you the truth I had made up my mind to see an aitu; and if the thing had looked like a pig or a woman it wouldn’t have given me the same turn. The trouble was that it seemed kind of square, and the idea of a square thing that was alive and sang knocked me sick and silly. I must have stood awhfte, and I made pretty certain it was right out of the same tree that the singing came. Then I began to come to myself a bit. **Well,’’says I, if this is really so. if this 18 a place where there are square things tha sing, I'm gone up any way. Let's have my fun for my money. But [thought I might as weil take the off- chance ofa prayer being amy good; so I plumped om my knees and prayed out loud; andalithetime I was praying the strange sounds came out of the tree, and went up and down, and changed, forall the world like music; only you could see it was human— there was nothing there that you could whistle, As soon as I had made an end ip proper style, I laid down my sun, stuck my knife be- tween my teeth, walked right up to that tree, and begantoclimb. Itell you my heart was like ice. But presently, as I went up, I caught another glimpse of the thing, and that re- lieved me, for I thought it seemed Mkea box, and when I got right up toit I near fell out of the tree with laughing. A box it was, sure enough, and a candle box at that, with the brand upon the side of it, and it had banjo strings stretched so as to sound when the wind biew. I believe they call the thing a Tyrolean harp,whatever that may mean. ' „Welli, Mr. Cass, said I, you've fright- ened me ones. But I defy you to frighten me again, I says, and slipped down the tree and set out again to find my enemy’s head office, which I guessed would not be far away. : The undergrowth was thick in this part; I couldn't see before my nose, and must burst my way through by main force and ply the knife as I went, slicing the cords of the lianas and slashing down whole trees at a blow. I call them trees for the bigness, but in truth they were just big weeds; and sappy to cut through, like carrot. From ail this crowdand Kind of vegetation, I was just thinking to myself, the place might have once been cleared, when |came on my nose over a pile of stones, and saw in a moment it was some kind of a work of man. The Lord knows when it was made or when deserted, for this part of the island has lain undisturbed since long before the whites came. A few steps — — — 1 Uke to be 830. 1 remember a boy I was at school with at home who played the Case business. He didn't know anything, that boy; he couldn't do anything; he had no luminous paint, and no Tyrolean harps; he just boldly said he was asorcerer, and fright- ened us out of our boots, and we loved it. And then it came in my mind how the master had once flogged that boy, and the surprise we were all in to see the sorcerer catch it and hum like anybody else. Thinks I to myself, „1 must find some way of fixing it so for Master Case. And the next moment I had my idea. I went back by the path, which, when once you had found it, was quite plain and easy walking; and when I stepped out on the black sands, who should I see but Master Case him- self? I cocked my gun and held it firmly, and we marched upand passed without a word, each keeping the tail of his eye on the other; and no sooner had we passed, than we each wheeled round like feltows drilling and stood face to face. We had each taken the same notion in his head, you see, that the other fellow might give him the load of his gun in the stern. **You’ve shot nothing,’’ says Case. I'm not on the shoot to-day, said I. i Well, the devil go with you for me, says 0. 5 The same to you, says I, But we stuck just the way we were; no fear of either of us moving. Case laughed. We can’t stop here all day, though,’’ said, he, pont let me detain you,’’ says I. He laughed again. Look here, Wiltshire, do you think mea fool?’’ he asked. More of a knave, ifyou want to know.“ says 1. Well, do you think it would better me to shoot you here on this open beach?’’ said he. „Because Idon’t, Folks come fishing every day. There may be a score of them up the valley now, making copra, there might be a half a dozen on the hill behind you, after pigeons; they might be watching us this min- ute, andI shouldn’t wonder, I give you my word I don’t want to shoot you. Why should 17 Tou don't hinder me any. You haven't got one pound of copra but what you made with your own hands like a negro slave. You’re vegetating—that’s what I call it—and I don’t care where you vegetate, nor yet how long. Give me your word you don’t mean to shoot me, and I' give you a lead and walk away. >? Well, said I, you're frank and pleasant, ain’t you? And I’ll be the same. I don’t mean to shoot you to-day. Why should I? This business is beginning; it ain’t done yet, Mr. Case. I’ve given you one turn already; I can see the marks of my knuckles on your head to this blooming hour, and I’ve more cooking for you. I’m not a parable, lke Underhili. My name ain’t Adams, and it ain't Vigours, and I mean to show you that you’ve met your match.’’ „This is a silly way to talk,“ he said. This is not the talk to make me move on with. All right,“ said I, stay where you are. lain’t in any hurry, and you knowit. I can putin the day on this beach and never mind, Jain't got any copra to bother with. I ain't got any luminous paint to see to. I was sorry I said that last, but it whipped out beforeI knew. I could see it took the wind out of his sails, and he stood and stared at me with his brow drawnup. Then I sup- pose he made up his mind he must get to the bottom of this, I take you at your word,’’ says he, and turned his back and walked right into the devils’ bush. I let him go, of course, for I had passed my word. But I watched him as long as he was in sight, and after he was gone lit out for cover as lively as you would want to see,and went the rest of the way home under the bush, for I didn’t trust him sixpence worth. beyond I hit into the path I had been always looking for. It was narrow, but weil beaten, and I saw that Case had plenty of disciples. One thing I saw. I had been ass enough to give him warning, and that which I meant to do I must do at once. Devil Work. one has made the journey in a hundred years, the natives sticking chiefly to the sea and their little colonies alopg the coast; and that part being mortal high and steep and full of cliffs up to the west side of the wall, the ground has been cleared, and there are cocoa palms and mummy apples and ywuavas, and lots of sensitive. Just across the bush begins outright; high bush at that, trees going up like the masts of ships, and ropes of lana hanging down like a ship’s rigging, and nasty orehids grow ing in the forks like funguses. The ground where there was no underwood looked to be a heap of boulders. I saw many green pigeons which I might have shot, only I was there with a differentidea. A number of butterfiles lopped up and down along the ground like dead leaves; sometimes I would hear a bird calling, sometimes the wind over- head, and always the sea along the coast. But the queerness of the place it's more difficult to tell of, unless toone who has been alone in the high bush himself. The brightest kind of a day is always dim down there. A man can see to the end of nothing: whichever way he looks the wood shuts up, one bough folding with another like the fingers of a hand; and whenever he listens he hears always something new—men talking, children laugh- ing, the stroke of an axe afar away ahead of him, and sometimes a sort of a quick, stealthy scurry near at hand that makes him jump and look to his weapons, It's all very well for him totell himself that he's alone, bar trees and birds; he can’t make out to belieye it; whichever way he turns, the whole place seems to be ailye and looking on. Don’t think it was Uma’s yarnsthat put me out; I don’t value native talk a fourpenny piece; it’s a thing that’s natural in the bush, and that’s the ena of It. As I got near the top of the hill, for the ground of the wood goes up in this place steep asa ladder, the wind began to sound straight on, and the leaves to toss and switch open and let in the sun. This sulted me bet - ter; it was the same noise all the time, and nothing to startle. Weil, I had got to a place where there was an underwood of what they call wild cocoanut—mighty pretty with its scarlet fruits—when there came a sound of singing in the wind that I thought I had never heard the like of. It was all very fine to tell myself it was the branches; I know Detter. It was all very fine to tell myself it was a bird; I know never a bird that sang like that. It rose and swelled and died away and swelled again; and pow ! thought it was like some one weep- ing, only prettier; and now I thought it was like barps; and there was one thing 1 made sure of, it was a sight too sweet tobe whole- some ina place like that. You may laugh if you like; but I declare! called to mind the six young ladies that came, with their scariet necklaces, out of the cave at Fanga- „ and wondered if they sang We laugh at the natives and their 8; but see how many traders up, splendidly educated white > It seems, indeed, it was a piece of fashiona- | ble boldness to venture up here with the trader, and a young man searce reckoned himself grown till he had got his breech tat- tooed, for one thing, and seen Case’s devils tor another. This is mighty like Kanakas; but, if you look at It another way, it's mighty like white folks, too. Abit along the pathi was brought toa clear stand and hadto rub my eyes. There was a wall in front of me, the path passing it by a gab; it was tumble-down and piainly very old, but built of big stones very well laid, and there is no native alive to day upon | that island that could dream of such a piece of building! Along all the top of it was a line of queer figures, idols or scarecrows or what not. They had carved and painted faces ugly to view, their eyes andteeth were of shell, their hair and their bright clothes blewin the wind and some of them worked with the tug: | ging. make this kind of figures till to-day, but if ever they were made in this island the prac- tice andthe very recoliection of. are now long forgotten. And the singular thing was that.all these bogies were as fresh as toys out of a shop. Then it came in my mind that Case had let out to me the first day that he was a good forger of island curiosities—a thing by which sO many traders turn an honest penny. Anda with that Isaw the whole business, and how this display served the man adouble purpose ; first of all, to season his curiosities and then to frighten those that came to visit him. But I should tell you (what made the thing more curious) that all the time the Tyrolean harps were harping round me in thetrees, and even while I lookeda green-and-yellow bird (that, Isuppose, was bullding) began to tear the hair off the head ofone ofthe fig- ures, Alittle further on I found the best curi osity of the museum. The first I saw of it wasalongish mound of earth, witha twist to it. Diggingoff the earth with my hand, Ifound underneath tarpaulin stretched on boards, so that this was plainly the roof ofa cellar. It stood rightonthetopof the hill, and the entrance was on the far side, be- tween two rocks, like the entrance toa cave. Jwent as far in as the bend, and, looking round the corner, saw a shining face. It was big and ugly, like a pantomime mask, and the brightness of it waxed and dwindled, and at times it smoked. **Oho!’’ says I, luminous paint!’’ And I must say I rather admired the man’s ingenuity. With a box of tools and a few mighty simple contrivances he had made out to have a devil ofa temple. Any poor Kanaka brought up here in the dark, with the harps whining all around him, and shown that smoking face in the bottom of a hole, would make no kind of doubt but he had seen and heard enough devils for a lifetime. It’s easy tofind out what Kanakas think. Just go back to yourself anyway round from 10 to 1§ years old, and there's an average Kanaka, There are some pioug, Just as there are pious smoking. Amd what was he smoking? There are islands up West where they You would think had had about enough excitement forone morning, but there was another turn waiting me. As soon as I got far enough round the cape to see my house, I made out there were strangers there; a little further, and no doubt about it. There were a couple of armed sentinels squatting at my door. Icould only suppose the trouble about Uma must have come to a head and the sta- tion been seized. For aughtI could think, Uma was taken up already, and these armed men were waiting to do the like with me, However, asilcame nearer, which I 1id at top speed, I saw there was a third native sit- ting on the veranda like a guest and Uma was talking with him like a hostess. Nearer still, I made out it was the big young chief Maea, and that he was smiling away and None of your European cigarettes fit for a cat, not even the genuine big, knock-me-down native article that a fellow can really put in the time withifhis pipe is broke, but a cigar, and one of my Mexicans at that; that I coula swearto. At sight of this my heart started beating, and I took a wild hope in my bead that the trouble was over, and Maea had come round. Uma pointed him outto meas I came up, and he met me at the head of my own stairs, like a thorough gentieman. **Vilivili,’’ said he, which was the best they could make of my name. I pleased.’’ There is no doubt when an island chief wants to be civi he can doit, I saw the way things were from the word go. There was no call for Uma to say to me: He no ’fraid Ese now; come bring copra.’’ Itell you I shook hands with that Kanaka like as if he was the best white man in Europé, The fact was, Oase and he had got after the same girl, or Maca suspected it, and con- cluded to make hay of the trader on the chance. He bad dressed himself up, gota couple of his retainers cleaned and armed to kind of make the thing more public, and,just waiting till Case was clear of the village, came round to put the whole ot his business my way. lie was rich as well as powerful. I suppose that man was worth 50,000 nuts per annum. I gave him the price of the beach and a quarter cent better, and as for credit, I would have advanced him the inside of the store and the fittings besides, I was s0 pleased to see him. I must say he bought like a gentleman; rice and tins and biscuits enough for a week's feast, and stuffs by the bolt. He was agreea- ble besides; he had plenty fun to him; and we cracked jests together, mostly through the interpreter, because he had mighty little English, and my native was still off color, One thing I made out: He could never really have thought Much harm of Uma; he could never have been really frightened, and must just have made believe from dodginess, and because he thought Case hada strong pull in the village and could help him on. : This set me thinking that both he and I were Inatightish place. What he had done was to fiy in the face of the whole village, and the thing might cost him his authority, More boys,and the most of them, like the boys 8 are middling honest, and yet think t rathe ) arks to steal, and are easy scared and rather re than that, after my talk with Case on the Wut it might very well cost me > Post- Dispatch, S my fe. Oase had as good as said he would | pot me if ever I got my copra; he would come home to find the best business in the village had changed hands, and tbe best thing I thought I eould do was to get in first with the potting. „See here, Uma, says I, tell him I am. at Case’s Tiapalo store in the busn. He want savvy if you no ’fraid?’ trans- lated Uma. Llaughed out. Not much!“ says I. Tell him the place is a blooming toy shop! Tell him in England we give these things to the Kids to play with. „He want savvy if you héar devil sing?“ she asked next. Look here, Isaid, I can’t doit now because I’ve got no banjo strings in stock; but the next time the ship comes round I'll have one of these same contraptions right here in my veranda, and he can see for him- self how much devil there is to it. Tell him, as soon as I can get the strings I’ll make one for his pickaninnies. The name of the con- cern is a Tyrolean harp; and you can tell him the name means in English that nobody but damn fools give a cent for it. This time he was so pleased he had to try his English again. Tou talk true?“ says he. „Rather!“ said I. Talk all-a-same Bible. Bring out a Bible here, Uma, if you've got such a thing, and I'll kiss it. Or, I'll tell you what's better still, says I, taking a header; ‘*ask him if he's afraid to go up there him- self by day.’’ It appeared he wasn’t; he could venture as far as that by day and in company. **That’s the ticket, then!“ said IJ. Tell him the man's a fraud and the place fool- ishness, and if he’ll go up there to-morrow he l see all that's left of it. But tell him this, Uma, and mind he understands it: If he gots talking it’s bound to come to Case, and I'ma dead man! l'm playing his game, tell him, and f he says one word my blood will be at his doorand be the damnation of him here and after. She told him, and he shook hands with me up to the hilt, and says he: *‘Notalk. Go up to-mollow. You my friend.“ No, sir,’’ says I; no such foolishness. I’ve come here to trade, tell him, and not to make friends, Butus to Case, I’ll send that man to glory!’’ So off Maea went, pretty well pleased, as [ could see.

REV. H. H. MILBURN. Cooper County’s Colored Divine on the Negro Problem. Rev. H. H. Milburn, the colored divine of Cooper County,and whohas the reputation of being one of the most influential political leaders of his race in Central Missourl, recently delivered an address at Neison, Mo., in which he characterized the negro in nis own peculiar style. Besides being a politician of some note, Milburn is an evangelist of more than ordinary ability. Besides having his flock of church members to look after, has had to appear before the Mayor with the most painful and remarkable regularity on out a license or disturbing the peace on every other Saturday for some months past. MII- burn’s ability for getting intotroubleis only exceeded by the very clever manner in which he invariably gets out of it, and not- withstanding the dogen or more times that he has been brought before the bar of justice, he never was behind the bars and never paid a fine. He has fought all over the streets of Boonville and has never come out second best in any of his various en- counters. His services at festivals that oc- cur every Saturday night, winter and sum- mer have become indispensable. One day last week the corner-stone of the Free- Will Baptist Church at Nelson, Saline County. was laid, and Rev. Milburn delivered the dedicatory address. As he solves the race problem in rather a novel manner in his ad- dress, the SUNDAY Py tah reproduces the following extract: ‘*There roy old tradition that when God created man he first made the negro, and not being satisfied with the job made the Indian, This was another piece of poor judgment, and not being satisfied he made the white. He put them all in a room together with three boxes—one contained books, another hatchets, tomahawks, bows and ar- rows, and the third was filled with spades, shovels and hoes. In about half an hour the negro was nodding and fell asleep (just like him, you know), the Indian was restless and nervous, but the white man was composed and a n in deep thought. Along about midnight the Indian fell asleep and was soon in the dreamland of the happy hunting grounds. At this juncture the white man shouldered the box of books and walked out. About daylight the Indian awoke and, with considerable satisfaction, skipped out with the bows and arrows. The negro, bless your soul, did not wake up the next morning until the sun was three hours high, and was left with the box of tools, He has had them ever since and always will have them.

A STORY OF RUGGED EMOTION IN THE MOUNTAINS OF KENTUCKY. Written for SUNDAY PostT-Dispatcnu. Copyright. Poor little soul! hyere it a-grunting! It’s hungry, Jen. ‘*I can’t help it, said Jen, turning her face into the pillows. She groaned as she spoke. Her long brown hair hung over the tedside in a heavy braid. Inher thin cheeks burned a color which made her delicacy less incon- gruous with the red-and-yellow coverlid rumpling over her restless figure. ' ‘*Shucks!’’ commented the other woman, bending over the pillows. She was lean and old, with shoulders which, ina front view, seemed approaching each other, Mer gray hair, trailing downward from a straggling part, looped her ears in twists, ike hempen rope. Jou don’t want it to starve, do yeh?’’ she demurred. ‘‘Hyere you younk ekt of a fel- ler, you!’’ The baby, as she laid it at Jen’s side, seemed merely a roll of plaid flannel, the topmost endof which disclosed an atom of face considerably like the wrinkled kernel ofa hickory nut. Jen kept her eyes hidden. „What if it does?“ she said, in a smothered voice. 3 „Jou know you don’t mean no such thing!“ said Mrs. Kale, hushing the mutter- ing roll of shawl, ‘‘Hyere now, Jen, let me fix the little rat bless him!

It is so!“ “ eagerly corroborated Mrs. Kale. It's a mighty promisin’ child —fer a first, she added judiciously, ‘‘My Jefferson only weighed three—hark! I ‘lowed I heard a knock. Kin I git to see Jen?’’ The woman on the threshold paused, smiling. She was girtish looking, with a flat, stayless figure, her pink cheeks defined by a brown veil, tied over ner ears under a spoon-shaped straw hat. Come on in, Sary, said Jen, weary. Sary advanced on tip-toe, with an air of awed expectancy, her lips apart. Wnat you got there?’’ she asked, giggling. „Law, well, Jen! You’re fixed now, ain’t yeh?’’ She stared down at the baby as he slept. He's too warm, ain't he? Look athis head—its all of alather; you got too much around him, ain’t yeh?’’ She paused thoughtfully. lle don’t favor you none. He’s got Mart’s chin—’’ and then she gasped, „Oh, I forgot!“ For Jen, with a sudden cry, had thrown an arm across her eyes. Mrs. Kale nudged the pink-cheeked girl. **You’ve done it now,’’ she whispered, ‘ta-stirrin’ up thet subjeck. What's gone f you, Sary, a-passin’ Mart Lowden’s name be- fore Jen? You ain’t got your right mind.’’ She pushed on: She hain’t let none f us speak his name for two months—since he put out. You better go now, Sary. I got to quiet Jen down.“ Mrs. Kale stood in the door a moment watching the girl’s lessening figure. It was well on toward October, and autumnal reds were beginning to flush the steep rise behind the Cumberland’s south fork. Lusty greens still freshened the river flats in which the river lay. Above, to the east, goldenrod yel- lowed the banks beyond the railway. As Mrs. Kale looked upward she could see the 4 o’clock express dash out of the tunnel, the archway of which, cut in the solid cliff, gives upon a curved bridge spanning the headwaters of the Cumber- land.

Every friend of good government and civ- ilization will welcome witha shrill cry of de- light the news that we are going to have bet- ter roads in this otherwise well groomed re- public. For over a century we have vied with each other to see which State and which city would excel in its parks, its living wild beasts, its jails, its schools and its churches. Ever since the invention of the loco- motive merchants, mechanics and farm- ers have fallen over each otber in Parcs Paty forts to see who could be first to fran 3 grant, bond, mortgage and otherwise give jand, right of way, easement, conveyance and general hospitality to railroads, yet in the meantime driving into town on three wheels with the tarred axle of the fourth one riding on a tamarac pole. 5 de industry has preceded the civilizing influence of practical road-building. The time has come for emancipation. We have really overdone the building of railroads, and constructed them through space, hoping On the Asheville Road, that agriculture would overtakethe buffet car, but it cannot, because its wagon roads are impassable except to Seraphim. Men of prominence throughout the country have been receiving for some time well penned letters from the typewriter of Albert A. Pope of Boston, Who has discovered, no doubt, that the reason we crowd into the cities to live is because wecan get from one store to another without getting mired. It is now proposed to make a road depart- ment in the Exposition at Chicago, wherein may be seen all manner of roads, road- building material, tools, machinery, etc., froma right of way with a rut in the center of it to a sprinkling cart that will wait for the man with the fresh duck vest and the linen trousers and newly polished boots before it will squirt. As originally designed, the roadmaking machinery and material, as weil as Cross sections of roads, were to be so scattered ever. the ground, being in fourteen groups, that the visitor must look through five im mense buildings, covering 79 3-10 acres of ground in order to see what the world is do- ing in the way of making roads. We have very often home-grown products E know, as a farmer, which would yield some thing if we could take a profitable load to our mearest town, but where we can only draw 600 pounds and take off a wheel en route we find that we had better lose the goods than try to market them under such circum- stances. Referring to home-grown horses, I will add that we need, if we could afford it, a strain of the better class of biood, such as the Percheron, the Norman and well known queror. ‘J was never more mortified than last week. Thad endeavored on my stud farm at Buck Shoals to rear a new and attractive mule,and in May we were biessed with a little bunny mule of the clay bank variety, sired of a Kentucky papa and dammed on the place. For years I have not been cursed by pride. Since the artist has been practicing on me. with a view to some day illustratinga book called Life Among the Lowly; or Eighty Ag Bap ace families dating back to William the Samples of the North Carolina Roads, Years on the Road for Mephistopheles,’’ Ican truly say that I am not proud, but a week ago I went totown with the mother of the new mule Marguerite, as I deemed it time to wean her. So weleft Marguerite moored to the well curb and I drove on to Ashevilie to mar- ’ get a bunch of fat pine. The day was beautiful. The odor of clover and the sweet, seductive smellof the azalia seemed to lift me off the seat. A small black hornet also assisted in the great work. „On, joy! oh, joy!“ I said; ‘‘whata glad some day. Is it not indeed a plumb honey?’’ as we say in Hooper Township. The air was impregnated with ozone, and now and then we could hear the neigh of my palfrey neigh- ing. : Sbe neighed for her absent child with a mother’s neigh, The fact that bitter things had been said about her and social ostracism had come with the little stranger did not steel her warm mother heart toward the lit- tle one. True, shecould not remember any of her folks who ran so freely to ears as Mar- guerite dia, but she recked not. When I had marketed my fat pine kindling wood at the Kenilworth inn and bought hay with the money, for I haye to buy hay in order to feed my stock on the farm, so that they can cultivate my farm, so that I can jook forward to the time when I can buy more hay to feed my team, sothat they will feel strong and well enough to cultivate the soll, so that I will be cheered on to buy more hay for the same purpose. As I stood at the porte cochere of the hotel, _ Jooking down into the eyes of a bright young 2% om Tuxedo, who is here for her father’s though he not here yet, I heard, @cross the Deautiful bosom of the non the mellow bray ot Marguerite. aie witha famished snort,and Sheridan ent odd miles away was nowhere. pattie of tiny hoofs on the gravel Nas cry of recognition from r mule Mar- HO BUT MUST LAUGH 2’ kK i — — — ——— guerite was monkeying with what is called the n taternal font. The reader can readily understand how the mule Marguerite, by connecting herself with my piufrey, had hurt me socially at Kenil- wortb: inn, and how the young lady who came here to try the balsam and the healing of the North Carolina -mountains for her father’s usthma excused herself to get a heavier wrap, thereby intimating that there was a coolness between us, also that I needed a heavier rap. Anyway, Ihave never seen her since, : | Tc’ return to our national roads, it is a wonder that we bave, as Americans so long submitted to the savage and dangerous ruts over which we haul ourempty, wabbly, worn wagons. Thereason is, doubtless, that we genenally select our choicest and densest ass to superintend the building and repair of our roads, and in many cities our streets also. He works on the roads in summer and sits on the jury in winter. He is generally a man who is selected because he has never been outside of the county. He is noted for his gravity, gloom and the opacity of his mind. Another reason is the same that has been fatal to most all farmer movements, though started withthe most holy and nonest mo- tives, viz., that we farmers cannot, like the residents of cities, see each other every twenty-four hours and plot against other trades. When we have done over nineteen hours of work and another hour’s wholesome thought interchange with our calf kinder- garten, andthen mutton tallowed our bun- ion, we must needs rest in order to be up and combating with the early bird for the ill- advised worm. Stil, somehow the foreign peasant in several European countries, far inferior to ours Otherwise, has a road over which he hauls a carioad as compared with the silly oo convention jag which we see so often ere, Lam patriotic, I had almost said, toa de- gree. Ishotaway two solid bours of fre- works here this year, sent to me by the man. ager of Pain, the international pyro- technicker and faller of Sebastapol, Pekin, Rome and other cities that had formed the habit of falling; did it, too, where the celebration of the Fourth of July has so long remained unobserved that the best bird dogs here tried to retrieve the common crackers, and looked thoroughly ashamed when they thought they had flushed a three-pound rocket. and yet I say that, patriotic and enterprising as we are in other things, in education for instance, and the ambition to have about eight more churches than we can support in each Village, together with other real evi- dences of advancement, we have got the worst country roads that have been per- mitted since the days when the earth wasa vast hot, steaming ball of mud, fit only fora mighty lizard farm. Some States have by naturea delightful country road. Kentucky was born with good roads. So were Colorado and Wyoming. In the very heart of the Rocky Mountains these last two States have a natural roadbed wherever it is needed, Forty and fifty miles per day with an ordinary team is the rule rather than the exception, while in the spring, when the frost is coming out of the ground and the new milk cow is a burden in the land, the rich, deep, black country road of Iowa and IIli- nois cannot be passed even by a two-thirds ‘majority. But what are we to do? We may laugh over it if we choose. Some people have a wonderful control over them- selves in their grief. Once there was a young man on board our steamer, coming from Queenstown homeward bound. who was the life of the party. When others were mand had gastritis quite a considerably, he was always our bit of sunshine. He could tell stories—funny stories—tell them, too, so that they sounded like reading froma large leather covered tome, never failing to put in the ‘‘said he,’’ or the ‘‘oh, she replied. just as the book did. He could play the tambleronicon anda voluntary on the mouth organ. He was like a bottle of champagne, ever flzzing and the life of the party all the way over. When we got to Sandy Hook he broke off suddenly in the midst of a joke and said soft- ly toa passenger whom he led aside behind the smokestack: Jam gay, as you see; gay to the age. I spread joy among the passengers wherever I go. lama ray of sunshine—here, there and every where. People cluster about me to get a hearty laugh and catchthe con- tagion of my merry atmosphere and enjoy my inexhaustible iund of anecdote, but my heart is realiy sad on the inside. Jam going home to bury my young. wife. She died in Chicago and will be buried in Brooklyn on my arrival. Have youany idea what it costs to bring a remains from Chi- cagoto New York over the Pennsylvania road?’’ Again returning to the matter of wagon roads, let every one who reads this letter re- solve that he or she will not rest content till our roads shall be equal in every respect to our boundless enter prise in other respects, instead of being at the everlasting tail of barbarism. They are inhuman forone thing. We form socie- ties for the prevention of cruelty to animals and then beat our dumb beasts through swamps and muck holes, over roads that would bother a peri with eleven-foot wings to go over lightly. Let every one with an idea on roads go to Chicago with it, taking alsoa change of um- brellas anda scrip containing the price of two weeks’ board and credit at the home bank. Mr. Pope also suggests that cross sections of wagon roads be shownat the exposi- tion. Iam collecting a few in North Carolina, and am getting cans made to put them in. Ihave not decided yet whether to filter them or not. Lip THE IDIOT’S BREAK. A Piece of Conversation Heard at Our Boarding-House Breakfast Table. **Good morning!’’ said the Idiot, cheer- fully, as be entered the dining-room. Tothis remark no one but the landlady youchsafedareply. ‘‘Idon’t think it is,“ she said, shortiy. It's raining too hard to be a very good morning, says Harper’s Bazar. That reminds me, observed the Idiot, taking his seat and helping himself copiously tothe hominy. ‘‘A friend of mine on one of the newspapers is preparing an article on the ‘Antiquity of Modern Humor,’ With your kind permission, Mrs. Smithers, I’ll take down your remark and band it over to Mr. Seribuler as a specimen of the modern antique joke. You may not be aware ofthe fact, but that jest isto be tound in the rare first edition of the ‘Tales of Bobbo,’ an Italian humorist, who stole everything he wrote from the Greeks. **So?’’ queried the Bibliomaniac, ‘‘I never heard of Bobbo, tbough I had, before the auction sale of my library, a choice copy of the Tales of Pogzio,’ bound in full crushed Levant morocco, with gilt edges, and one or two other Italian ‘Joe Millers’ in tree calf. l cannot at this moment recall their names. „At what period did Bobbo live?’’ inquired the school- master. % don't exactly remember.“ returned the Idiot, assisting the last potato on the table over to his plate.
